Oddly enough, for me, one of the problems with TERA was the combat. Everyone seems to be really hyped and excited about it, yet I can't see it. It's slow, it's predictable, it's not fully dynamic spectacle fighting combat and it still relies on same principles as pure hotkey based MMOs do.
That combined with how boring the mobs are in early stages, doing same, slow attacks that You can just side-step from gets really repetitive after just 1-2 hours.
I realize I've only been able to see veyr early levels of gameplay, but it's those levels that decide whenever I will bother with the game later or not. I do not feel like games should "test my devotion" by throwing unimpressive content at me before I can really play the game "as intended".
Overall the game felt very alike to what I've already seen from older Asian MMOs. Same structure, similar designs, similar theme- the only things that's different is combat. While I would love to see the political system shine in it's full glory, after playing for those 20+ levels I simply do not feel like playing any more to reach the "end game". The whole late game focus is what really hurts TERA's potential. If levelling is just a pacing process before everyone can enjoy the game, why even have levels?
I'll say the game is simply not for you. If you don't have a feel for the combat than this is not the game for you. And no its not predictable, try any of the BAM or dungeon boss and its lot of reflex on what the boss does next its all random. And if you pvp well its not slow by any means. Again if you don't get the combat than this is probably not the game for you.

You do realize tera wasn't developed in the past year thats its been under development since 2008.... there was no SWTOR to spoin everyone with their fancy voice over and even than if we look at SWTOR we saw how well just good quest did for them.
I have no idea what language you are trying to speak in, nor what point you are trying to make. The linear quest grind system has been a problem for much longer than one year, however. At least Guild Wars 2 "appears" to be getting rid of it. Are they actually? I don't know for sure. One can hope, yes?

And my point is Tera been under develeopment for 4 years -.- back in 2008 when they start no one was complaining about linear quest system until people got spoiled by SWTOR. And to be honest how the hell are mmorpg suppose to let people lvl beside quest and grind? Its either quest or grind, i really can't think of other way. GW2 is basically just PvE events which just like a grind but you get extra exp as if you done a quest when you finish an event. So it would feel more like a grind than quest but in the end really kinda the same.
Faded has a nice review just from all the CBT. Things will change and progress and the game will be a lot better come release. I think people's problems, once again, is that they want the new MMO to come out that will be top of the charts right from the get-go, and when people have constructive criticism that hints that this new MMO they're looking forward to won't be that steady game they're looking for, it makes them mad.
My own opinion is this: I was in the beta for a lot of these AAA MMOs that have recently come out, and I never bothered to buy one. That doesn't mean a whole lot of people aren't having fun and will continue to have fun in these MMOs. It's just that I am also looking forward to an MMO that will be a steady #1 for a long while and I haven't played it yet.
peoples Problem is that they cant handle getting Griefed inside the game.
If you dont play this game and whine about it you are a cry baby...
All of us that play EvE online just LOL at the people who bitch about it, because we know they cant handle it..
Same goes with TERA, If you whine you get no cred from me because you are WEAK and can only play E-sport games..

You seem to think that SWTOR is spoiling people? How? It's still linear quest grinding. SWTOR is no better than WoW.
And there are many ways to progress beyond mindless quest grinding. Dungeon groups, Overworld groups, Quests *very few* that actually have meaning, etc. People have been complaining about quest grinding since 2005 when it got old in WoW. It's just now starting to catch on to developers.
SWTOR should have been a single player game. The main quest line was brilliant. The side quests were absolutely ridiculous. No, I don't want to listen to you tell me for 8 minutes that you need me to kill 10 boars.
Flaming? nah...i just wanna say that even with all the negative points you mentioned, this game will be entertaining for 3 or 4 months atleast for most people i know.
People are looking for a game that takes them out of the tedious in the games they are currently playing (not mentioning any names cuz, i think its a general issue...)
Thumps up for filling the gap between blockbusters!
guys seriously why did u even bother to coment on this stupid WoW-fan boy & trol ? the guy is obvious clueless about the game and u can understand that from all the sh1t he say that he is a carebear PvE'r, if Tera deserve 4-5/10 for u WoW is below zero for me it's the most borring and stupid MMORPG this world have ever see the only thing u do is complete 23523553 Q and at the end game repeat the same fcking dungeons/instants 42534345 times most retarded game exclusive for carebears and unskilled-f@gots go back to WoW stupid trol Su-Su!
Lol thank you Zslayer77 you took the words out of my mouth. This game is fun as shit to grief in. I love it, and enjoyed the style of pvp. Yah it's different, and something new, and I was tired of tab targeting. I am excited to try the next few beta's, sadly I have a busy schedule this weekend and will not hit max lvl in it. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I will be outside lumbertown making my cameo appearance.
My advice would be to go with your gut man. People are always going to disagree. If you're gut tells you to cancel your preorder, then cancel it. You don't want to spend your money on a game you'll regret. You've played 32hrs of it, so why even preorder then? It's going to be there waiting for launch time anyway. I did not last very long in the CB AT ALL. I hated the game, it was definitely not for me. I know I will not enjoy it, but that's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. Just as you are yours. This game was just another reminder of how much I am anticipating GW2. Oh and one more thing, just because someone gives their opinion and their rating of a game that you don't agree with, it does not make it trolling. I thought it was a very thorough and honest review, from his perspective, and that is what reviews are, opinions. Not fact. Grow up kiddos.
I pretty much disregard anyone who compares MMOs to WoW these days. Almost every game pulls something from WoW. Why? Because WoW is a good fucking game. We are all just tired of it.

Amen to that. i value more the opinion of a dead rat than what anyone says on this forums. so whatever they say, or their review is. is totally irrelevant to me.
Tera has exactly the same wow quest system. but a very fun combat. questing won't ever change no matter what. it will always remain the same in every mmo. even swtor with voice overs deep down has the exact same quest system . kill A, bring to X. grouping and questing in Tera is alot of fun.
Its also faster, you lvl faster as a 5 man group questing than solo questing because you get your quest done 5x at fast. Like me and my friend notice as you get past 22 and go to celestial hills there lot of BAM quests and soloing or duoing just be waste of time.

Every game with PVP bolsters a select group who believe that others who want to do other things than PVP are whiners, have too much estrogen rather than testosterone, or are carebears. Maybe at the end of the day for you it goes like this "PVP is all that matters." But I shrug it off because you guys seem to fit the generic "loud-mouthed, ego-stroking, insensitive individuals who have gone accustomed to gaming with like-minded friends who insult each other for the kicks, and feel the need to do it to everyone since I'm connected to the internet" And that's fine. Personally, I love being engaged in the MMORPG and playing the game with so many different people. But I also love PVP, love to win, and love to be humble about it. Humility is severely lacking in gaming today, and having to deal with people who have none simply allows me to enjoy killing them even more. Oh, do I love it.
TERA players in the long-run just might fit that demographic, because this relatively-new MMO combat will charm the pants off of them for a while. But I foresee that the appeal will wear off for a large majority because the inevitability of actual Western-based AAA MMOs will dawn on their desire of Western art design and larger playerbase.

Ok that part i laugh so hard i fell off my chair. Great way to start off the day. The only reason anyone would long for it is coz most of the west is freaken xenophobic. Don't deny it its true.
O yes Tera player fit that... you know thats why we have PvE servers and RP servers and massive PvE event and hard mode dungeons.... yep everyone play Tera is hardcore, loud-mouth, ego-stroking, insenstive PVPer. Yep makes total sense.

That's exactly what I'm saying, the design isn't going to lure in the West for a long time to keep a massive amount of population. I'm not saying TERA is going to fail in any way, I'm saying it's not going to be that next top MMO.

it so happens that every single one of our Beloved western mmo, have turned out to be total crap! and yes you sir are dilusional totally.

I dunno if I would call anything crap, but I haven't even bought any MMOs for a while. Everything just seems to not have that lasting appeal to cater to a massive number of people, and the trend is continuing because I think that people want one top MMO to hold the reins for a while.

I completely agree, every new game being labelled a WoW killer is a good example of this...
Regardless I just want a game that is fun, and TERA has brought that for me thus far and I plan to stick with it for a while if its popular or not.

Exactly. you should judge a MMo on wether it provides the Entertainment value according to your preference or not.
i feel exactly the sameway. the game is fun to me, it manages to keep interested, the game world is gorgeous and huge, and so the characters (that contributes to the inmmersion) the combat is amazingly fun.
the Armor, art work designs are simply breath taken.
the amount of detai is amazingl. you feel you are playing in a real fantasy world. you see bunnies roaming around, butterflies. lovely flowers. all that ads alot to the game atmosphere.
i noticed small detaisl even on my character's shoes.
Scores are based in personal opinions, let me give mine about yours
-Gameplay: 6
Maybe more 7.5 imo, gameplay is really smoth.
-FunFactor: 5
It has to be more based on previous score, maybe 7
-Sustainability: 3 (People are tired of Linear Questing)
People dont need to follow the linear quests on TERA. i intend to do only the "red" ones. But its to soon to make a opinion about this, only get to lvl 16.
The sustainability is going to be based on what TERA offers besises quests and/or grinding mobs. Political system, PvP system, instances/dungeons for PVErs is what going to define their Sustainability, imo.
-Graphics: 8 (Best i've seen in the past 5yrs, but you have to tone their Bloom down to around level 1)
Agree.
-Innovation: 4 (+6 from their Combat engine, -1 from their REST/Stamina system, -1 from Linearized Gameplay)
Now here we have a trick word. The main innovation of TERA is the combat. Devs focus on that, the rest they stay in standart mode. Even it is only the combat (to soon to build a more deep opinion), it deserves a better score.
-Crafting: 3 (Quest & Dropped items are always better in TERA, crafting has no purpose until MAYBE lvl 58[endgame]?)
No opinion about this one, didnt try it.
-Misc: The Glyph system is an interesting spin on differentiating classes. However, it's FAR too limiting to have any real effect, and only further enforces FOTM builds.
No opinion about this one, didnt get there.
Average Score: 4.8
I still think TERA diserve a better score for what i saw from 1 to 16, but its really soon to make a score for the game, imo.
I would personally score a game on its overall performance and what it set out to do.
The game offered action combat in a themepark based game with some nice little elements like the political system.
I hate when people do what faded did, hes basing it on a sandbox and trying to change the entire way the game is played, maybe we want a themepark quest system with non-tab targetted combat and that is why we are playing TERA, ever thought of that?
It is labelled as a fantasy themepark game with reticle based combat, if you go in expecting more, then you are just being silly, then to rate the game on elements it doesnt have that pertain to a totally different type of game is complete nonsense.
When i tried the beta i was ceptical, normally when a "big" game comes, it hook you up at start and you slowly begin to take less and less interest in it.
In Tera i felt the opposite, when i logged i was like " ok nothing special about it", but something hook me up that cant rly explain, the gameplay itself it is addictive, made 4 charcs and loved playing with them all.I think 20mins of playing the game is not enough..i wasted more time just looking at the sky...
I dont agree with this "personal" opinion score, but hey, thats only my opinion!
Next time try to compare and backup this "opinions" with the current market offers and maybe people will try to consider this kind of post.

I think the porpuse of tera is not to claim the market but something like filling a gap between blockbusters, entertaining gamers for some months, and for ppl that says the game is overrated, i felt the oposite, for me is underrated with flames that i personally dont understand.
Comments
I'll say the game is simply not for you. If you don't have a feel for the combat than this is not the game for you. And no its not predictable, try any of the BAM or dungeon boss and its lot of reflex on what the boss does next its all random. And if you pvp well its not slow by any means. Again if you don't get the combat than this is probably not the game for you.
They just forget the mmo part.

You don't want to spend your money on a game you'll regret. You've played 32hrs of it, so why even preorder then? It's going to be there waiting for launch time anyway. I did not last very long in the CB AT ALL. I hated the game, it was definitely not for me. I know I will not enjoy it, but that's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. Just as you are yours. This game was just another reminder of how much I am anticipating GW2. Oh and one more thing, just because someone gives their opinion and their rating of a game that you don't agree with, it does not make it trolling. I thought it was a very thorough and honest review, from his perspective, and that is what reviews are, opinions. Not fact. Grow up kiddos.
I pretty much disregard anyone who compares MMOs to WoW these days. Almost every game pulls something from WoW. Why? Because WoW is a good fucking game. We are all just tired of it.
Amen to that. i value more the opinion of a dead rat than what anyone says on this forums. so whatever they say, or their review is. is totally irrelevant to me.
Tera has exactly the same wow quest system. but a very fun combat. questing won't ever change no matter what. it will always remain the same in every mmo. even swtor with voice overs deep down has the exact same quest system . kill A, bring to X. grouping and questing in Tera is alot of fun.
Its also faster, you lvl faster as a 5 man group questing than solo questing because you get your quest done 5x at fast. Like me and my friend notice as you get past 22 and go to celestial hills there lot of BAM quests and soloing or duoing just be waste of time.
Every game with PVP bolsters a select group who believe that others who want to do other things than PVP are whiners, have too much estrogen rather than testosterone, or are carebears. Maybe at the end of the day for you it goes like this "PVP is all that matters." But I shrug it off because you guys seem to fit the generic "loud-mouthed, ego-stroking, insensitive individuals who have gone accustomed to gaming with like-minded friends who insult each other for the kicks, and feel the need to do it to everyone since I'm connected to the internet" And that's fine. Personally, I love being engaged in the MMORPG and playing the game with so many different people. But I also love PVP, love to win, and love to be humble about it. Humility is severely lacking in gaming today, and having to deal with people who have none simply allows me to enjoy killing them even more. Oh, do I love it.
TERA players in the long-run just might fit that demographic, because this relatively-new MMO combat will charm the pants off of them for a while. But I foresee that the appeal will wear off for a large majority because the inevitability of actual Western-based AAA MMOs will dawn on their desire of Western art design and larger playerbase.
Ok that part i laugh so hard i fell off my chair. Great way to start off the day. The only reason anyone would long for it is coz most of the west is freaken xenophobic. Don't deny it its true.
O yes Tera player fit that... you know thats why we have PvE servers and RP servers and massive PvE event and hard mode dungeons.... yep everyone play Tera is hardcore, loud-mouth, ego-stroking, insenstive PVPer. Yep makes total sense.
That's exactly what I'm saying, the design isn't going to lure in the West for a long time to keep a massive amount of population. I'm not saying TERA is going to fail in any way, I'm saying it's not going to be that next top MMO.
it so happens that every single one of our Beloved western mmo, have turned out to be total crap! and yes you sir are dilusional totally.
and this comes from a so called carebear female player, who intends to play on the pve servers.
I dunno if I would call anything crap, but I haven't even bought any MMOs for a while. Everything just seems to not have that lasting appeal to cater to a massive number of people, and the trend is continuing because I think that people want one top MMO to hold the reins for a while.
I completely agree, every new game being labelled a WoW killer is a good example of this...
Regardless I just want a game that is fun, and TERA has brought that for me thus far and I plan to stick with it for a while if its popular or not.
Exactly. you should judge a MMo on wether it provides the Entertainment value according to your preference or not.
i feel exactly the sameway. the game is fun to me, it manages to keep interested, the game world is gorgeous and huge, and so the characters (that contributes to the inmmersion) the combat is amazingly fun.
the Armor, art work designs are simply breath taken.
the amount of detai is amazingl. you feel you are playing in a real fantasy world. you see bunnies roaming around, butterflies. lovely flowers. all that ads alot to the game atmosphere.
i noticed small detaisl even on my character's shoes.
Scores are based in personal opinions, let me give mine about yours
-Gameplay: 6
Maybe more 7.5 imo, gameplay is really smoth.
-FunFactor: 5
It has to be more based on previous score, maybe 7
-Sustainability: 3 (People are tired of Linear Questing)
People dont need to follow the linear quests on TERA. i intend to do only the "red" ones. But its to soon to make a opinion about this, only get to lvl 16.
The sustainability is going to be based on what TERA offers besises quests and/or grinding mobs. Political system, PvP system, instances/dungeons for PVErs is what going to define their Sustainability, imo.
-Graphics: 8 (Best i've seen in the past 5yrs, but you have to tone their Bloom down to around level 1)
Agree.
-Innovation: 4 (+6 from their Combat engine, -1 from their REST/Stamina system, -1 from Linearized Gameplay)
Now here we have a trick word. The main innovation of TERA is the combat. Devs focus on that, the rest they stay in standart mode. Even it is only the combat (to soon to build a more deep opinion), it deserves a better score.
-Crafting: 3 (Quest & Dropped items are always better in TERA, crafting has no purpose until MAYBE lvl 58[endgame]?)
No opinion about this one, didnt try it.
-Misc: The Glyph system is an interesting spin on differentiating classes. However, it's FAR too limiting to have any real effect, and only further enforces FOTM builds.
No opinion about this one, didnt get there.
Average Score: 4.8
I still think TERA diserve a better score for what i saw from 1 to 16, but its really soon to make a score for the game, imo.
I would personally score a game on its overall performance and what it set out to do.
The game offered action combat in a themepark based game with some nice little elements like the political system.
I hate when people do what faded did, hes basing it on a sandbox and trying to change the entire way the game is played, maybe we want a themepark quest system with non-tab targetted combat and that is why we are playing TERA, ever thought of that?
It is labelled as a fantasy themepark game with reticle based combat, if you go in expecting more, then you are just being silly, then to rate the game on elements it doesnt have that pertain to a totally different type of game is complete nonsense.
When i tried the beta i was ceptical, normally when a "big" game comes, it hook you up at start and you slowly begin to take less and less interest in it.
In Tera i felt the opposite, when i logged i was like " ok nothing special about it", but something hook me up that cant rly explain, the gameplay itself it is addictive, made 4 charcs and loved playing with them all.I think 20mins of playing the game is not enough..i wasted more time just looking at the sky...
I dont agree with this "personal" opinion score, but hey, thats only my opinion!
Next time try to compare and backup this "opinions" with the current market offers and maybe people will try to consider this kind of post.
Peace.

I think the porpuse of tera is not to claim the market but something like filling a gap between blockbusters, entertaining gamers for some months, and for ppl that says the game is overrated, i felt the oposite, for me is underrated with flames that i personally dont understand.

Great review, thanks for clearing some things out!
