I just unsubscribed from TERA.

First of all, to be clear, I don't regret spending $50 on TERA and I still would recommend to try the game is someone asked me. It think this is a very good game.
 
 
 
 
So why I unsubscribed? Its difficult to say, but I think TERA is good in small dosage. I guess I was playing too much, and just yesterday I started thinking "Oh god, again killing 10 of something".  At the beginning of TERA, I didn't mind such quests, they were fun as the active targeting, beautiful environment, graphics, bams, pvp etc, were compensating for that repetitiveness. Also, when I started I was actually reading all quests trying to understand what was happening in TERA world. But gradually, I was started to loose track of the storyline, skipping quests and for the first time yesterday, the repetitiveness of the quests themselves started to bother me a little. I couldn't imagine myself  doing basically the same quests for one more month. 
 
 
 
 
I will still keep playing TERA till my subscription expires. I can always re-subscribe if I want. So its not a big drama. 
 
 
 
 
tl;dr
 
The repetitiveness of quests started to bother me, and I don't see myself doing basically the same quests for one more month.

    then u should stop playing mmos in overall cause if u think that will change ANYTIME soon then keep dreaming buddy

    mmos are all about kills,craft,exploration and grind for gear

     

    and dont mention that gw2 warhammer-rift clone it does the exact same thing from lvl1 to 80 but with DE

    I think he does have a point if he bought the game solely for the PvE and specifically to level progress through questing. I just can't see myself playing Tera on a PvE only server for an extended amount of time in its current incarnation. Switching to a PvP server though ...

    The Nexus system will come with next patch, which is like Rifts in Rift. That will change alot how the gameworld plays.

    MMORPGs can have quests only as interesting as their world allows. In most MMORPGs, the world allows only two things: crafting and fighting, and crafting often doesn't matter. So the quests are about fighting. Why is that surprising?

    Once we get more MMORPGs with terraforming, or with... I don't know.. weather manipulation, or creating new NPCs by yourself that run around... then there can be more kinds of quests. But right now? You play an MMORPG? Fighting it is. The only thing that differs is the combat system, though most have the system we all knowfrom WoW, so Tera is there a step forward.

    Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)

    Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)

    If you're questing all day and all night, yeah it'll get boring, but you don't have to do those boring quests.

     

    Follow the story while running instances in between or just fighting mobs you enjoy fighting. Or PvP while waiting for dungeon queues, lots of things besides questing non-stop.

     

    The story quests I actually find quite fun because they lead up to something, often have cutscenes, special mob fights and it's a chain of quests linked into one big reward that always is nice to receive.

    When we play a MMO, we loggin and normally we have diferent options to do things in-game.

    Im not playing TERA due to pc issues, but for OP post the only thing we can do is farm repetable quests?

    Its hard for me to beliave, what about join a guild and participate in guild activitys,  PvP and PvE wise?

    In solo mode, there isnt craft to evolve? playing with economy?

     

    Anyway, i dont know much about TERA, but OP give me the idea that doing only repetable quest is a player choise, or theres nothing more to do?

    Yeah... sounds like my bro. We started at same time, he's lvl 58, I'm lvl 32.... I take my time, (see: casual) for prolonged play. I got him into the game, but I think he's going to end up the same way, where he will get bored cuz he grinded his way to the cap. The world is huge! if you explore and forget about grinding. I find myself exploring moreso than questing, but that's just my style of play for any mmo.

    I've also created some 'alts' but since the starting area/story is the same no matter what, that gets boring.

    (That is the one thing I've always been happy with about FFXIV, with 3 starting areas all with diff storylines. Granted I stopped playing once the sub kicked in, since most other areas were lacking).

    The quests certainly are not inventive but once you hit 60 the dailies are actually quite fun. I will never tire of feeding the fishies in the pond. Also those quests are just there to help you get xp and show off the sexy mobs. You can kill BAMs with friends and not grab n drop in quests if you choose.

    Personally, I would have wished the game went the route of monster kills are the better xp. Where as the more csual player would benefit slightly less from quest focusing. Giving both types of players enjoyment. I enjoy grinding. I enjoy farming. Killing in Tera is my favorite combat in an mmorpg of this type. I loved all of the games environments and really had no complaint leveling to 60 fast. This game is so far from a grindfest.

    I actually love Teras story. The main characters were so cool to me I savored every cutscene and never skipped any of them i had not seen. Would i have loved more? DUH! Im a greedy consumer!!! :D Am i happy with my overall leveling experience to level 60. Extremely happy customer here.

    I am glad you will recomend this game to people even if you do not continue it. It is rare that i have that feeling because it is much easier to hate a game that i left. Rift is a game i always tell people to try if they have not. Its fun though i lost interest due to the bland graphics (opinion, i like tera so nuff said haha (bright colors yumm)).

    Anyway just chilling at work and thought id post. Peace n Love.

    because Tera is bad on PvE lets gonna say al MMORPG are bad on PvE and all are grind from lvl1- to max?

    tera combat is great and graphic amazing but the PvE is just bad, quest are always the same. i can name lot of MMORPG where quests arent like this. PvP is good for players that like world open PvP.

    gear grind at high lvl is almost present on all MMORPG (in GW2 is diferent but you can check that if you inform avout the game)

    IMO Tera is for people who like world open PvP with great action combat system and amazing graphics, people who want Tera for PvE will get boring after 1-2months.

    Hmm? I don't see where the posters tell you you'll be bored o.O

    On another note, I do agree with the OP. Made it to level 42 and I can't find the will to login anymore knowing the quest log that's awaiting me :(

    Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

  • marcustmarcust Member UncommonPosts: 495

    I focus on the storyline quests and the open dungeons.

    I loved that mine at about level 28, and eldritchs training academy at 34ish etc.

    If you just stay in the open world moving from hub to hub yeh it will feel like a grind.

    Also stay in an instance queue, even a bad group is entertaining.

    My main is only a 36 beserker, but I still enjoy logging in everytime, I must get to the next part of the story quest.

    Being in an active talkative guild seems to help also.

    Only so much door to ass slamming that the game can take before servers get merged or become ghost towns. I played a little bit of the beta and I can say that the game was a bit boring to be honest. Then again this is coming off leveling multiple toons to 50 in swtor and dropping that game. The action combat that is in Tera though refreshing isn't enough to invest the time to level yet another toon into a game that most likely won't prosper beyond its free month that the purchase provides.

    Door isn't hitting me for I'm no were near that door.

    player vs environment which means a player fighting the environment/enemies. PvE does not mean quests. Roleplaying is questing. Aka story. You are now informed. You are welcome.

    6 years of ffxi which is PvE only and I did maybe 50 quest.  It's a matter of preference... lots of people hate grinding quest.

    I can see Tera being somewhat lackluster at this point in time for people who are on pve servers and gung ho about leveling for the sake of leveling and then "end game content".

    If one is the type of person who can keep themselves entertained then it can be a good game. For those who are the type of person who is prone to "ok, what else do you have" then it might be lackluster on the pve side.

    I do believe at least in 100% of the mmos that I play that questing and run ins with the environment go hand in hand. Matter of fact there are quest believe it or not that have you kill mobs in the environment. You really can't seperate the two seeing that one is dependent upon the other.

    If you have proof otherwise please educate me on how you leveled from 1-## without killing mobs in a quest.

    PvE doesnt mean quest obvious (GW2 is a prove of that) but on Tera, quest is a huge part of PvE.

     so for you PvE just mean combat? lol. PvE is far from be combat only...you can have the better combat system and have a bad PvE system...

    But if you look at most pre-WoW games most of them don't have much quest if any at all....

    Wait what? GW2 PvE is all about quest, DE are just public quest they are still quest just delivered in different ways. If anything its the Pre-WoW games that prove it.

    the more primitive then wow vanilla quests are starting to bother me too, lvl 33 now (and there's no dungeon at this lvl ._.). Regardless if the game was good or bad I would have unsubbed the first thing I did because I don't like having that shit on automatic (what if i go into a 10 year coma!)

    You are wrong, TERA quest system is just a bored repetitive grinfest, all the quest looks the same. like AION or any other Korean MMO. But not all the MMOS are like that, i mean u have options to level up so the grind is not a big deal, games like war or rift have alternatives ways to level up, you can PvP, do Pqs or DE. Even games like LOtro have alternatives, and the story is just amazing so you dont feel ¨the grind¨, and we know about swtor, people qq alot about that game, but you have alternatives to level up, and well they have an story for every single quest, so when u are killing 10x is probably a bonus mission and not the main quest, and still you can just do pvp and ur personal story or even some space quests.Now With tera, is all about grind, you have to do the same quest from level 1 till 60, the same quest, literally, and you dont have alternatives like xp for pvp or something, is all about grind the same quest for 60 levels.

    Actually your part right... however the definitive questing tradition is you talk to someone and their asking you to do stuff for them or aquire a certain thing.  In GW2 I could be just roaming around and get suprised by something in that area and THEN the event triggers...thus PVE gets expanded into a wider area because you literally are fighting the environment as you encounter it.image
