General Gameplay and Lore


  • TERA nowfeatures a much wider variety of quests

  • The game story takes the player from a humble Valkyon Federation recruit to the role of hero and savior of the federation–and the world of TERA!

  • Skill system upgrades include…

    • A chain skill system with devastating skill combos

    • Approximately 100 additional skills since the last round of testing

    • Racial skills that give each race its own flavor and unique advantages

  • Equipment system upgrades…

    • Crafting is now a one-step process

    • Normal equipment and crafted items can be enhanced

    • Enhancements can unlock further abilities in equipment

OMG PVP!


  • There are several types of PVP awaiting TERA players:

    • Duels, which take place between two consenting players anytime, anywhere

    • Deathmatches--free-for-all, or group matches for glory and honor

    • Battlegrounds--large-scale group matches where commanding officers direct and influence the battle

    • And (of course) player killing on full PVP servers!

  • PVP rewards vary depending on the type of PVP:

    • Guilds earn merit points for battleground matches

    • Players earn points and can bet on matches

    • Guilds and players can earn political clout on the battlefield

The Guild System


  • Guilds in TERA include the following features:

    • Standard activities like chat, join/quit commands, titles, etc.

    • The ability to run for the highest political offices

    • Titles that Guildmasters can bestow on members

    • Guild housing--available in the three main capital cities (Velika, Allemantheia and Kaiator)

    • Guild housing, tiered based on the size, clout and wealth of the guild

    • The ability for members to return directly to a guild house from anywhere

The Political System


  • The political system is designed from the ground-up to be a fun, community experience:

    • Provinces have leaders called Vanarchs

    • Vanarchs can run for the office of Exarch

    • Political power includes adjusting tax rates, instituting in-game rules, and more

    • Politicians receive special privileges and equipment such as mounts (much like real life)

That’s the key stuff coming out of G-Star! We’ll be talking more about these announcements in the coming weeks and we’ll post a recap of G-Star as well after the event. And stay tuned for some exciting news coming soon--be sure you’ve created an account on our forums, because you won’t want to miss being a part of TERA!

    So this will be the system you use to vote in the political system....looks good.

     

    Voting in action:



    Step 1: Choose province on map, to the left.

    Step 2: Choose candidate, to the right.

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
