    Repeatable quests counting past the max limit, so you don't have to pick it up > hand it in > pick it up > hand it in etc.

    Combo system in general makes the combat more fluid.

    Applying to Instance Matcher as specific roles.

    That way of handling invites seems like a good idea.  You would think it would have been standard in MMOs 8 years ago.

    Wow just found out about the smart search in the auction house...is that ever neat, and i've never seen it in another MMO.

     

    For example it has things like "search for armour better than what you're wearing" and all armour for you class that is better than what you are wearing appears.

     

    Also searches that bring up enchantment fodder for your armour or weapons, also searches for each dungeons superior items.

     

    Not to many options but the ones they have are great, I hope they think of some more to add in the future.

     

    Something else really really cool that I dont think any other game i've played has = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji-VfcQ3s-s&feature=plcp#t=440s

    One of the little things is the Negotiation System in the Auction house, Its FREAKING amazing, I mean being able to negotiate a low Price on the Auction house to any player that is currently online is truly amazing, It can be done from anywhere too. Also they have this thing where you can mail an item and put a price tag on it and the player will not be able to open that mail until they send you that said Price, This is really great. 

    The instant mount is really cool too :)

    I agree with most of the comments about things here and there that show some attention to detail.

    The thing that's stood out for me is that I have to "warm up" in the game.  I can't just log in and go to town on a BAM, I get beaten like a puny god.  I actually have to play for a while, and get my rhythm back into sync before I can fight at my best.  I have, more than once, gotten thrashed by something at the beginning of a play session, fought it later on, and beaten it with ease with everything the same on my character.

     

     

    Avatars are people too

    Dear OP your own choice of words says it all..

    Instead of stands out ( present tense ) you chose stood out ( past tense ).

    Even the fans are subconsciously admitting Tera is done.

    Nuff said.

    1) Exp bonus after waiting in server queue, was realy happy someone did put that in game :)

    2) The music that changes when you start a fight with important or dangerous mob, its like telling me "Hey! Be carefull now!"

    3) The red markers above the oponnent guild members, so i can know they are not just simple PK, and its a bit more visible than the toons.

    4) The fast chat message system, you edit up to 4 different messages and then use them on chat few a simple click, very handy to me when I play in a random party, and i want to inform them im danger, or to stop and wait.

    5) Some realy nice quest chains. Oh and about the quest im only a few days on 60 but for now each daily quest is different.

    6) I almost forgot, one day i encountered a BAM that used an intresting debuff on me, it messed all my direction buttons. At first I was like "Raly now?! does my keyboard had to broke right now?!!!" and then when i realized what is goin on its was like "Woahhhh, what a nice thingy :D"

    Whats wrong with past tense? Its not like he is asking who is playing right the moment he asked it, than it would be stands because its right there and than. But once your on the forum you assume some one already played it and is not currenlty playing so its what happened in the past so what stood out because its something that already happened.

    LOL.  Man you haters are crazy.

    I chose the words "stood out" because I was asking people to refer to their initial expeiriences with cool/new things.

    Yeah I wouldn't be surprised, he must have had made some crazy modifications with the .ini files to achieve such a result. 

     

    Lol, haters.

    For me the largest thing was that, with my naga mouse, I NEVER EVER HAVE TO LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD AT ALL!

    It's amazing. usually in an mmo I have so many tool bars that eventually I find myself looking at the keyboard or doing that one thing where I have to click something. But in this game I can be completely immersed and never have to take my face away from the screen.

    Which makes the fights more exciting,. especially pvp.

     

    I also love the art design though I don't love all of the art design.

    The reasons i like this game are simple.

    Yes the scenery is beautiful, everything looks nice.  The game engine is the unreal engine and that makes me feel cozy because i like it much more than the korean standard which is the cry engine.

    The most important part is the combat.  Oh how i love the combat.

    Its not quake style FPS where keeping the corss hairs on an irraticly moving target while rapidly and earraticly moving myself is the only skill involved.

    I thought the animations locking you in place would be a drag, turns out such a funcion makes movement your dodge, but doesnt mean i have to have a seziure with my mouse to dodge.  Its more strategy knowing to recognize someone in an animation then reacting appropriately.  As it turns out anything that does serious damage requires a decent animation.  This makes movement a stratigic manuver ranther than quake style which is playing the odds...the odds are the more you move the more the other guy misses ect.

    Combat is fun enough for mobs, as they all have a variety of skills to look out for and learn, granted its too easy to quest hub clear and be over leveled and have no challange, i like to do the orange storyline quests untill they are too hard then do the yellow filler quests as needed.  This provides me with,as often is the case, a story line quest where i get pummeld, followed by some very difficult red/orange mob filler quests that are just as hard but not over the top.

     

    I could best describe this game as " a fantastic combat system in an stunning visual setting dropped inside a mediocre themepark game with most themepark attractions missing"  The combat makes up for its faults.  They just need to add those attractions asap.  They bought themselves time with progression rate that isnt crazy but isnt like some games where a casual will hit max level in a month.

     

    Play this game for its combat if your sick of tab target but dont want a lame quake style FPS aim'er game.  This combat system allows for calculated moves. Scenery is amazing in some maps as well.

    Now I think you are trolling.

    You do realize that one can refer to somethnig that "occurred" to them at a given point of time in the past?

    Sort of like "I realized that ..."

    I would have hoped you were better than that.

    Did it on my mystic :) Was supa hard and my group wiped several times but we did it :) I dont remember when it was the last time i was so concetrated and nervous during pve, i needed i big rest after that fight, but then i said to me "That was fun :D". To make things clear im a pvp player so i rarely have fun during pve, mostly find it boring, but Tera is different.

    Did you do it on normal? Coz hard will make you want to break your key board lol. So many damn summon running arounding putting the confuse on you and all the dead body to move around makes the confuse even worse -.- I have yet to finish Ebon Tower hard, only got to 6%. I find balder much more doable XD

     Balder hardmode? You must mean normal because hardmode is just ridiculous as of right now.

     

    Also has anyone done Kelsaik normal yet? And is the hardmode even possible without the master glyphs or +12 enchants?

    No we talking about ebon tower and ya i don't think anyone beaten balder hard yet. My guild gotten to the final boss but thats yet. Also I don't think Kelsaik is possible coz we don't have master glyph and so far only Fane hardmode has been done with is pretty much close to fully +9 for laner tank. DPS need +8 or higher weapon and some enchanted gear. Fane hard is mostly dps race, first boss in Fane HM the pillar don't respawn so you want to kill it fast but most Koreans just eat that AOE because if you got well enough gear its not a DPS issue any more. Crab boss is not DPS race but postion, there are 4 pillar on each side so its impossible to dodge unless you stand in the spike so you use the crab boss to block it for you. Lancer boss i heard stay the same only difference is fire ball in fire room move twice as fast and portal summon twice as fast. Final boss is huge dps race, 10 mins because it goes in to super enrage mode which it just 1 shoots everyone XD

    O as for balder hard i think my guild made it to 35% ish on final boss? Not sure i think they trigger the timer but couldn't dps it down fast enough.

    The first 2 boss is pretty easy, the golem boss is hard because the summon well pretty much almost pointless to kill. It has somuch hp by the time you kill it the next one spawns in 3s. Also final boss well its about i think 2-3x more summon than normal so ya XD Its so hard to move across the dead body when your confused -.- and your trying to get aggro back...
