[Preview] TERA: Rising: Corsairs' Stronghold Hands-On Preview

We recently joined up with other members of the press to duke it out in TERA: Rising's upcoming 20v20 Battleground: Corsairs' Stronghold. In our preview, we're breaking down the new map and offering our impressions.

Dropping in via airship will get you past the castle’s walls and let you wreak havoc, but splits you off from the rest of the attacking force. This is great for distractions, smaller skirmishes, and for making clutch plays in order to take out key enemy defenders. It can provide an alternate means to getting to vulnerable resurrection points or destroying or capturing enemy tanks and cannons. Tanks and cannons can be used to blast enemy players, castle doors, or even shoot down airships attempting to get through.

    This thing is amazingly satisfying as both defense and offense.  After two hours of my life I'll never get back I discovered a secret sewage system that you can use to sneak under the castle.  I don't know if you can sneak in or if its only out, with it but there are so many ways to go around with this BG.

    I'll see how it plays later on when more organized groups come in from school and work.  At least as a match pugger, unlike Fraywind, this was very easy to get into.

    An important thing I don't think I saw mentioned: I believe the gears are normalized for everyone.  (Probably the reason I found it so enjoyable to slip into.)

    Really? That sounds cool. I didn't find that one!
