Well I dont usually browse the GW2 section but if you check the Tera section there has been lots of hate towards it where people state that its not worth to waste money on it due to GW2 coming out soon and that the game is just another korean grinder or wow clone or that the game will fail because thats what happened in korea etc. Almost all those users who bash the game without trying it are also the same people who are stating that GW2 is the best game to ever be released and such.
this ISNT a troll type post though... what they are saying about Tera is true.. this is like when ppl warned the SWTOR ppl that they shouldn't waste their time but no one listened.... Tera IS a Korean grindfest.. it is being sued by NCsoft because its the makers of Lineage 3 who left NCsoft with L3's game secrets... Why do ppl think that warnings are made out of hatred... warnings are made because we don't want ppl wasting their money....
It is hardly a grindgame if its possible to hit the max level in a week is it? And all the grind is same questgrind that most of NA/EU are used to so why would this one be worse? because you have the possibility to also grind BAMs? I bet you havent even tried the game just saying A or B because thats what the masses did.
They are trying to sue the american publisher but the only thing that resulted to in korea is that 1 person left the company and went to jail or something and a fine for the company (1-2million IIRC) and they are appealing so not even that might happen. Why would the game close down because the company got sued for selling the sourcecode for another game that we pro bably dont even know the whole truth of?
And please stop using "..." all the time it gives me a headache to read.
thats ALL that happened... listen to yourself... grindfest isnt nec. about grinding to max lvl its about the content as well. There isn't enough to do besides grind and pvp.. sure there are a cpl dungeons and they are adding stuff... I wont even go into the fact that they are adding DEs 1 week after GW2 has amazing reviews over DEs... BAMs are just silly.. aside from the name they are just big mobs and arent all that fun. The quest system is terrible. I REALLY wanted tera to be good btw.. just like I WANTED SWTOR to be good.. but they aren't. Also another great flaw in the Tera system is their political system is an open invitation for harassment by others. Its beautiful... but very flawed.
Hmm, i agree with kuro1n. Every MMO game has a grind, your reasons for saying TERA will be bad are ridiculous. The only MMO , which has recently come with more engaging questing is SWTOR, and after a while, you start to realize its just like any other MMO with questing. It just has nice VA and in-game cinematics to mask the grind. Other than SWTOR, every MMO has the same questing structure atm. Secondly, your rant about the lawsuit is moot as well, this game's launch will not be circumvented by that lawsuit, and even less so when the game is released. Besides, NCsoft is trash, they have horrible customer service and probably treat their employee's just the same. Not surprised a group of them quit to make their own company. Also the papers drawn up to sue bluehole are a joke. I actually looked at them. IF the papers used to file the claim are made by the same person representing NCSoft, then that case will be dropped ASAP. Thirdly, I would say their black crevice content is more similar to rift than it is to gw2. Maybe you should read up more on their future content.
To me most of your comments are opinions, so you should refrain from using comments like
" Tera IS a Korean grindfest" because its not a fact, its your opinion.
I see TERA doing pretty well in the states considering how reponsive ENMASSE is to their player base. IF they keep this up this game could do very well.
I see TERA doing as well as AION did in the first 3 months. Anyways, the success of TERA has little to do with En Masse per say due to the fact that they cannot create content, they can request it, but requesting in fact takes time.
For what its worth, during the 2months I played K.Tera, I ended up going back to AION. In some ways TERA felt like a downgraded aion, especially when it came casting instant skills, at least in Aion you could do it while moving.
Anyways, i don't know why a tera discussion is coming up in a guild wars 2 thread. Just as a note I do like TERA, not enough to wanna pay a sub though. I might get on one those special servers where u don't pay money for down the line.
Actually, ENMASSE does have the ability to make content and changes to the game. Many of the changes already put in place during the CBT tests where from feedback posted on emasse forums. Thats why i said TERA has the potential to do good, because the publisher has legitimate influence over the content and mechanics of the game, Not to mention the fact they are american, so they understand what their playerbase wants. Just go over to the forums and you will see what i mean
Why do you care about a small minority of douches running around doing nothing but talking out of somewhere. Don't you ignore those people in the streets or on television. I know I do, and I select my friends under certain criterias. In an MMO it's pretty easy to ignore those people and much easier to find like minded people.
Edited the title and op to say fans instead of players since it seemed to bother a lot of people
Lol, you should have changed it to "forum trolls have a bad atitude".
Because most GW2 fans just like the fans of most games are just regular people, but you will notice a single troll more than 100 nice guys. And since GW2 is most hyped right now (and have been so for a rather long period) it have many trolls. Then there is of course a whole bunch of people hating it that trolls about that as well.
But generally are the forum a lot nicer now than itwas 2-3 years ago. Remember the old WAR Vs AcoC forum PvP? Or the Darkfall war where everyone had a very strong opinion and the mods hardly had the time banning everyone?

You know, I was just reading some responses, and one thing I have to admit is...
I think GW2 fans have more than their share of sarcasm.
Oh well. Being sarcastic is cool, so I guess that's okay.

I think people are actually playing a game called "Troll: the provoking". Here are the rules http://www.criticalmiss.com/issue9/troll1.html
It would explain a lot.
