It doesn't make the the ripoff of the idea, or the ripoff of the implentation of it, any less hilariously sad though. I'm playing this game for combat but still get a good laugh they'd blatantly and unabashedly copy it. Does a rift by any other name still seem as foreboding? http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/UmmTERA-implementing-RIFTs?page=2#post-85173
It's not sad when all companies rip off ideas from another. It has become the norm. Plus, I don't really care, not because it's Tera, but because i'm use to seeying things be implemented from one game to another ( or from one commodity to another). That's how the world works. For example, look at our phones and tablets .. One idea gets popular then everyone follows the idea ( in their own unique way, of course).. Imo, every game should have something like Rift and something like what Swtor has in terms of voice acting for every quest..It might not be the most popular idea to everyone.. but i'm sure, based on subscription numbers, the ideas where well received.
Just my 2 cents...
Well TERA does have voice acting and cut-scenes, they just don't spam it with every single quest. Only the big, main quest get those.
The soundbytes attatched to every NPC are however horrible.
The youtube you just linked.. while I can't understand a word of it (audibly), it sounds like the actors, elspecially the sorceress' actress, put convincing emotion into that role. Hopefully english translations get that much effort.
Spec'ing properly is a gateway drug. 12 Million People have been meter spammed in heroics.

Our cutscenes suck ass, English butchers everything out of Asia, whether it's anime dubs or games.
For me, I love Bioware's approach to questing. I get annoyed of having to read endless text. I'd read a book instead. I find it more engaging when I can hear (and read) what the npc is saying to me ( with the option of skipping if i've done the quest already) .

By the same token, I'd watch a movie if I wanted to see people talking. Some people don't want to discuss stuff with NPCs. They just want to "get to the juicy part". There are also many great games and RPGs outside of MMOs that have no voice overs and are greater than most other games (see Zelda). Btw Tera does have voice overs on all NPCs as far as I noticed, they just keep it simple.
I don't want endless cutsence i have to skip it gets pretty annnonying pretty fast XD I always rush though on first character to cap and come back later for the story when i'm lvling an alt.
Tera will have rifts? The wait for GW2 just got so much easier...
Since when is massive PvE event a bad thing? O wait entire GW2 is full of massive PvE events. I guess your wait for GW2 is easier because you don't need to wait for it any more ^_^

Lec could have meant that rifts add excitement so will give him something more to do while waiting for GW2? idk

So, so true...

To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.
