So in your opinion Korean games don't do well here simply because they are Korean? If the amount of westernization dosn't matter, which there has been in TERA's case, and people won't play simply because it looks Korean then that is sad indeed. It's their money to spend but I think they are short-changing themselves in that case.

lol so everything about the game, outside of the game itself, is generic.
if you were expecting Tera to be Second Life 2, A Tale In The Desert 2, SWTOR 2, or anything other than combat centric, you have some serious problems in being able to predict ANYTHING about games.
A good combat system needs content to support that system. If you think in such a ridiculously narrow manner and break down MMOs to just combat and graphics, maybe you should address your serious problems before trying to tell others thay have them.

Preface: I'm not targetting you specifically, it just so happens I have a comment on these two things lol.
In the "TERA vs. the world" debate, one aspect I find misleading is that combat is all TERA has going for it. Yes, the combat makes it unique for a fully featured AAA MMO, but it's also a well rounded game besides that. The content is there and a lot of it is group based which for me personally, has been sorely lacking outside of instances.
I'm looking forward to GW2 as well and even though I think GW2 will be a mega hit the OP could be right.
The combat really makes all the difference in the world with this game but there is just a ton of things about the game that are appealing to a lot of people. It is a themepark type of game but it has a lot more to offer as well. The game is extremely polished and just feels good to play it.
Another thing that is helping Tera is the PvP. Open world pvpers are coming from hardcore games like Darkfall and Mortal online because of the skill based pvp Tera offers. There are things PvPers would like to change about the game but the biggest thing is the PvP takes skill.

That is still a choice over being forced to pay. I, personally, prefer to have the choice.
How many of you do research or know what the hell you're talking about before you speak? Probably not many of you. Regardless for all of those morons saying, "you get rooted in place, combat sucks". Watch this video and realize why people say play past 18.
Skip to 4 minute mark, most of it is their f@g guild doing their opener.
I know it took me about 30 seconds to find this video, crazy when you actually try to do something before organizing a long rant of why something is trash.
I'm looking forward to GW2 as well and even though I think GW2 will be a mega hit the OP could be right.

good points all around.
i noticed quite a few names and guilds from Darkfall making their presence known on the PVP server.
Also the guy in this video isn't that good. He spams the same skill repeatedly, and is not chaining his attacks. Protip #1 spamming the same button will get you killed. Protip #2 if you have block you will need to learn to use it.
Yeah, how dare a game's combat system root me in place, I totally go around swinging swords in stuff in real life while moving around and totally it doesn't gimp the strength of what I do! When I'm shovering I'm constantly moving around digging holes, makes perfect sense! How dare they add a combat system that has penalities for doing stuff wrong like spamming, you know, one that takes SKILL and not THOUGHTLESS BUTTON PRESSING
Seriously, complain about the quest system and all, if you really have that much issue with the combat system, keep playing your easy mode click and win MMos. Even GW2 I'm a bit iffy on I have some respect for since they at least broke away from point and click adventure MMos. If your really having issues with not being able to spam buttons and using that as your reasoning... just... go off and play some brainless game, maybe some console action button mashers if you wanted Tera combat to be that way.
You want inventory space, pay up! You want another character slot, pay up! You want p2w keys for loot, pay up! Nickle and dimed every day!
That is still a choice over being forced to pay. I, personally, prefer to have the choice.
Yes, you do have the choice. But how long until you think things like:
"Well I don't want to farm without the extra bag space, better pay for that."
"It's not worth clearing that area without a cash shop key."
Then it's more of an illusion of choice because you wont play without paying for all those things.
Just a thought to keep in mind.
Donno, I don't think like that. For me, there is no illusion to spending money. I guess when you're just throwing your money at a game that you need someone to regulate your spending for you then you would prefer P2P but I don't have that problem. That sounds more like a problem with the person and not with the model. I know people who don't throw their money at everything like you seem to think they do. Maybe people need to learn fiscal responsibility instead of saying how companies are nickle and diming them.
cuz real life is what games should be trying to be like.......
ESPECIALY FANTASY & MAGIC based games consisting of furries, demons, etc....
(btw, this is sarcasm for Putzurils benefit)
in other words, Sandbox MMO. hopefully Archeage .
i 'm so sick of all this pushy people, bashing games, day and night, trying to impose their playing style, upon everyone else. and constantly trolling, doomsaying games simply because they don't like it. honestly some of the above posters, make me, wanna puke for a whole week.
i think is time, i stay away from this whole site. the more i read all the crap that goes on here, the more i feel, like stopping playing MMO alltogether.
I think TERA's romance will only last as long as people will put up with the fact that only the combat is next gen, if they leave every other aspect of the game alone that gives any game longevity ie the feeling of progression, people will leave it en masse like other titles have been left recently to find their fix elsewhere.
You all realize the rooting abilities go away around lvl 18
....snip....
So I leveled up, and honestly what a fucking shock. As an archer I could run and gun with almost all of my skills while charging. As a berserker the same occured. I was rather impressed.
Movement with glyphs associated with those skills, you can see the Archer move during most of the known rooted skills at lower levels.
Glyphs are not useable until level 20, but even by level 9 - 11 for Archers / Berserkers - You can see that you're charge up skills allow you to move, when at first (begining levels) it wasn't possible.

what do %90 of the player base (hint: this goes behind you or me) do %90 of the time?
yeah, there's YOUR problem. don't want reality to intrude upon your crusade.

You want inventory space, pay up! You want another character slot, pay up! You want p2w keys for loot, pay up! Nickle and dimed every day!

Preface: I'm not targetting you specifically, it just so happens I have a comment on these two things lol.
In the "TERA vs. the world" debate, one aspect I find misleading is that combat is all TERA has going for it. Yes, the combat makes it unique for a fully featured AAA MMO, but it's also a well rounded game besides that. The content is there and a lot of it is group based which for me personally, has been sorely lacking outside of instances.
Just not worth my time anymore.
I'm looking forward to GW2 as well and even though I think GW2 will be a mega hit the OP could be right.
The combat really makes all the difference in the world with this game but there is just a ton of things about the game that are appealing to a lot of people. It is a themepark type of game but it has a lot more to offer as well. The game is extremely polished and just feels good to play it.
Another thing that is helping Tera is the PvP. Open world pvpers are coming from hardcore games like Darkfall and Mortal online because of the skill based pvp Tera offers. There are things PvPers would like to change about the game but the biggest thing is the PvP takes skill.
That is still a choice over being forced to pay. I, personally, prefer to have the choice.
How many of you do research or know what the hell you're talking about before you speak? Probably not many of you. Regardless for all of those morons saying, "you get rooted in place, combat sucks". Watch this video and realize why people say play past 18.
Skip to 4 minute mark, most of it is their f@g guild doing their opener.

I know it took me about 30 seconds to find this video, crazy when you actually try to do something before organizing a long rant of why something is trash.
How is that guy moving while charging skills and attacking???? YOU GET ROOTED IN PLACE, I know it's true. GW2 website told me so......
Checkmate
good points all around.
i noticed quite a few names and guilds from Darkfall making their presence known on the PVP server.

Also the guy in this video isn't that good. He spams the same skill repeatedly, and is not chaining his attacks. Protip #1 spamming the same button will get you killed. Protip #2 if you have block you will need to learn to use it.
No chance. It's releasing at the worst time possible and isn't that great.
Yeah, how dare a game's combat system root me in place, I totally go around swinging swords in stuff in real life while moving around and totally it doesn't gimp the strength of what I do! When I'm shovering I'm constantly moving around digging holes, makes perfect sense! How dare they add a combat system that has penalities for doing stuff wrong like spamming, you know, one that takes SKILL and not THOUGHTLESS BUTTON PRESSING
Seriously, complain about the quest system and all, if you really have that much issue with the combat system, keep playing your easy mode click and win MMos. Even GW2 I'm a bit iffy on I have some respect for since they at least broke away from point and click adventure MMos. If your really having issues with not being able to spam buttons and using that as your reasoning... just... go off and play some brainless game, maybe some console action button mashers if you wanted Tera combat to be that way.
Yes, you do have the choice. But how long until you think things like:
"Well I don't want to farm without the extra bag space, better pay for that."
"It's not worth clearing that area without a cash shop key."
Then it's more of an illusion of choice because you wont play without paying for all those things.
Just a thought to keep in mind.
cuz real life is what games should be trying to be like.......
ESPECIALY FANTASY & MAGIC based games consisting of furries, demons, etc....
(btw, this is sarcasm for Putzurils benefit)

Donno, I don't think like that. For me, there is no illusion to spending money. I guess when you're just throwing your money at a game that you need someone to regulate your spending for you then you would prefer P2P but I don't have that problem. That sounds more like a problem with the person and not with the model. I know people who don't throw their money at everything like you seem to think they do. Maybe people need to learn fiscal responsibility instead of saying how companies are nickle and diming them.
in other words, Sandbox MMO. hopefully Archeage .
i 'm so sick of all this pushy people, bashing games, day and night, trying to impose their playing style, upon everyone else. and constantly trolling, doomsaying games simply because they don't like it. honestly some of the above posters, make me, wanna puke for a whole week.
i think is time, i stay away from this whole site. the more i read all the crap that goes on here, the more i feel, like stopping playing MMO alltogether.
this site is starting to get very unhealthy.
I think TERA's romance will only last as long as people will put up with the fact that only the combat is next gen, if they leave every other aspect of the game alone that gives any game longevity ie the feeling of progression, people will leave it en masse like other titles have been left recently to find their fix elsewhere.
Video of Beserker - HERE
Notice carefully the (charge-up) skill that would have normally rooted you at low levels. (Glyphs are most likely used)
Video of Archer (skilled) - HERE
Movement with glyphs associated with those skills, you can see the Archer move during most of the known rooted skills at lower levels.
Glyphs are not useable until level 20, but even by level 9 - 11 for Archers / Berserkers - You can see that you're charge up skills allow you to move, when at first (begining levels) it wasn't possible.
