Dont play this game if you are a Solo Player

Tera might be nice and all,but if you are a solo player you will find this game is not for you..This is a group game and PVP where players are rewarded for holding each other hand.Group play is heavily encouraged and often very rewarding due to the exp bonuses and rewards from completing instances. Again Solo Players got screwed..As for PVP if you dont like it, Tera is not for you.Bottom line is, the company will find that Tera will come Free to play in the near future..Alot of people dont mind group play once in awhile.But in order to progress in Tera is a Must..The Combat in this game is different and good. Everything else is gereric.
I retired retroactively..Haha

This is so wrong.
I like to solo and I'm loving Tera cause I can solo a lot of contents. Since it is possible to dodge attacks in combat the limit to what you can solo is only your skill. I saw video of a warrior soloing an end game istance on hard.
I solo BAM all the time, is it hard? Yes. Is it rewarid? Hell, yes.
I don't know who came out with this idea of the bonus exp, but grouping is not rewarding xp wise, the xp you get by the kill is divided by the number of group members + 20% bonus exp, it's ridicolous.
I leveld 6 character almost always soloing the starting island and i always ended up to be 12 for the end of it, the only time i did it with a group of 3 friends i ended up as a lvl 10.
There is this weird concept that Tera is a pvp game, I don't see why, maybe cause on pvp server it allow OWPVP, dunno.
I would change the title of this post in "If you are a bad solo player don't play this game."
tera is not gonna b as good for solo players
from the FFA pvp
to the political system
the game is built around guilds
so if your a solo player your better off playing something else
What part of MMO do you not understand ?
Personally I find it very fun that I can solo group mobs. I have done several of these quests solo and they were very fun and challenging. There are sometimes where you HAVE to group up for some quests (dungeon quests and named boss quests) but you can just skip those if you don't want to group and if you can't solo BAMs find a group or skip the BAM quests. There are no story quests that require killing BAMs as far as I know.
You are not really forced to group if you want to play solo. Sure you can't do everything solo but you can't do everything solo in any MMO. If you worry about the political system just join a guild, you don't have to do much with them if it's not a demanding guild really... But why play an MMO and not a single-player RPG if you want to solo only?
I have you blocked, so i usually don't reply to your posts, but this time i took a look since you posted after me.
You see, I provided an explanation for everything that I said, while you just spat some mono word arguments that makes no sense.
SWTOR is solo friendly
but has alot of barriers for grouping
GW2 basically does away with grouping as a party
everyone can solo and help each other
idk if tera has a dungeon finder
also most MMOs are played as solo to lvl up
group for dungeons and battlegrounds
this is the standard WoW has set in the MMO world
TERA does have a dungeon finder.
90% agree.
About the green text, I like to solo too most of the time but still i like to be able to group when i want or anyway to play in a MMO enviroment. The fact that i like to face challenges alone doens't mean i don't like a game with a community.
About the orange text I just want to point out that in the OBT patch almost all named bosses were nerfed, now they are really easy to solo.
Two anwsers (and an excuse)
1) SPRPG's are kinda lonely...I many not like to play with you but I want yall to be around..chat is ususally more interesting than some old city guard mindlessly droning about his knee
2) challenge...Solo'g MMOs are harder than most SPRPG's IMO
That plus while I will solo 95% of a MMO..I would like the option to group, its an option I rarely use..but there none the less.
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
I know about the nerfed bosses but there are still some toughies like the naga one in celestial hills. That one one-shot my archer with it's ranged slash attack.
Actually that is only half true.
One can be a solo player and enjoy solo content. One can also not be part of a guild and still do dungeons, BAM quests, etc.
As with any ffa pvp game you have to be smart. One can solo in an ffa pvp world and one can even win a few fights. I ended up, soloing, doing some fights with some reds. However, as always being in a group helps with survivability.
Or one can roll on a pve server and not worry about it. I usually play "solo" and have had no problems with content. I even saw a posted video where someone did the Sinestral Manor solo (at lvl 32) so I am keen to see if a lancer can do that or not. we'll see.
In any event one can be a solo player and do solo content. One doesn't have to always be a solo player and can join in groups. OH, and BAMS can be soloed. You just have to be decent and not make too many mistakes.

First your note about Island of Dawn is totally out of topic as this is 100% solo content by it's design. Second what you are saying about bams may be the truth on pve server however I'd love to see you doing that on pvp one with someone pking around you. Third ok, you can reach cap solo but then what? Roll another character and create 6 chars total? It may be fun but then for such ppl there are singleplayer games - no need to play mmo, sorry. Not to mention that leveling in TERA is ridiculously fast so that part of game may get boring soon.
tera is not gonna b as good for solo players
Care to explain why? or just cause you said so?
you can solo for lvling up im talking about other systems
So your only beef is with pvp?
from the FFA pvp
Ok so a game with FFA pvp is automatically PVP only?
i never said pvp only but its pvp a solo player cant really cant b a part of
hopefully a solo player would stick to PvE servers
Care to give me an example of solo friendly pvp? In a mmorpg ofc.
to the political system
1 the political system can be won by both battlegrounds or democratic elections, but battlegrounds will be implemented later, so what are you talking about?
thats not solo friendly guilds with premdes for BGs and guilds means your gonna know more ppl for elections
And if we remove the political system will the game be solo friendly?
the game is built around guilds
Always cause you said so? Or do you have some more proof of this?
proof above
No you did prove nothing. You just argued against pvp and political system. They are mmo aspects of the game, making a game solo friendly doesn't mean to remove all massive aspect from it, overwise you can go on and play SP.
I don't see how the island of dawn being solo content proves wrong what i said.
If you want to solo BAMs don't roll on pvp server...
When you reach level cap, if you want to run some istance you can use the dungeon finder.
You can create 8 chars.
Wait to see the post 40 leveling before you are so sure on how fast it is.
TERA is extremely solo friendly. With that said, it also has extensive group content. What this means is that you can go either route and not miss out on much.
However, if you want the best gear, or finish the main story quests, grouping is suggested for quickest completion.
Everything that I have seen so far in game can be soloed. As a slayer, I was having a blast soloing basilisks, and then fribilisks and unfortunately died miserably to the Ovoliths... but I will get their pattern down and they will die as well. Named BAMs? No problem, just have to be patient and know how to move around them.
The game is very solo friendly, and will give you a challenge when you want one.
WEll, that's life. What can we say. I seem to remember many completley solo players in Lineage 2 and somehow they managed.
As a point of note, one can solo in this game and not be pk'e 24/7. I got into my 20's on the pvp server and was never once pk'ed.
Still, if this is a concern for one then either dont' play on a pvp server or of coruse don't play the game.
As a solo player myself I have no problems playing on a pvp server. in the interest of full disclosure I have a character on a pve server that is in a guild any my character on the pvp server is not in a guild.

You mean just like any other themepark MMO where grouping is an option and give bonuses over solo? okieee. I am playing TERA solo by the way and enjoying it. I group when i feel like. Stop trying to spread mis information that Tera isn't for solo players.
For all the new potenital players in order to progress it is not MUST to be in groups. This is completely false information.
So is Tera a solo-friendly facerollin themepark?
Or is it not?
If its not solo friendly I would consider trying it. That would be a plus in my book.
tera is not gonna b as good for solo players
Care to explain why? or just cause you said so?

So your only beef is with pvp?
lvling up =/= all pve content
So? At lvl cap you can grind istance with the LFG tool. I really don't see what else you can ask.
Oh btw the end game raid has an open group system like the rift one.
from the FFA pvp
Ok so a game with FFA pvp is automatically PVP only?

solo queue BGs and duels
large battles like wintergrasp with seiges equipment and forts ect
auto placed in groups
This is not in the game cause they remove the battlegrounds, when they'll be back you will able to queue solo. You can duel everyone you want.
Did you even played the game?
to the political system
1 the political system can be won by both battlegrounds or democratic elections, but battlegrounds will be implemented later, so what are you talking about?
thats not solo friendly guilds with premdes for BGs and guilds means your gonna know more ppl for elections

No you did prove nothing. You just argued against pvp and political system. They are mmo aspects of the game, making a game solo friendly doesn't mean to remove all massive aspect from it, overwise you can go on and play SP.
you just fail to see the proof
MMOs are played with small groups or solo for most of the game
the systems should reflect this
the game shouldnt give the adavatage to the guild with the most members
nor should they have lots of barriers to grouping that has been in most MMOs over the years that are finally starting to disapate.
No, you are just tryihng to prove a point you can't prove.
You are doing cause you think in bashing Tera you can score some point for your game of choice. This is ridicolous.
BTW this is way you are on my block list.
As I see it it's solo friendly and a themepark but it's not facerolling.
Making a themepark MMO not solo friendly will be a financial suicide.
If the only thing you want to kill are easy targets, then you can pretty much faceroll through everything. The moment you want to do BAMs, you will either have to be moderately skilled or get a group. The moment you want to solo dungeons, you will have to be exceptionally skilled, or get a group.
And you can't just overlevel a dungeon and faceroll it. The boss mechanics of the bosses will skill kill you. On top of this, the higher the level difference between the boss and you, the less gear you get.
If you want a game that you are forced to group to get anything done though (like FFXI), then this game is not for you at all.
There are PvE servers and an RP server. This "generic" game allows you to quest, not quest or a mixture all the way to the top with the per mob xp tweak. Yes there is a tone on group content but saying it's not for solo players is wrong.
Just not worth my time anymore.
