Who's looking forward to Tera?

I got a chance to play in the beta for Tera and I must say "wow" the game looks stunning the combat system seams to work very well but I hope pvp is not going to flop =/ say that the dungeons look very interesting.

So are you looking forward to Tera? If so why?

Nope and if everyone looking forward to it played any of the betas I don't know how they can still look forward to it, or even care.

It's a Korean game, says it all, combat and graphics isn't enough, it will have a terrible community and its future will be exactly like Aion, but good luck to people that still go through all that and end up getting it, would have been one of them/you if a friend didn't convince me to play the beta, canceled the pre-order about 3 hours after.

Looks interesting enough, but I'm undecided. I'll wait for the open beta this weekend to see if I like the game or not.

I stated that the rest of the world doesn't like Korean games, but yes, I guess it does mean, in the end that people won't like Tera.

There are Korean reviews (made in English of course) if you look hard enough (since it was out for quite some time) and all of them praise it and give it extremely high if not perfect scores, because Koreans always praise their games, but ironically, even with almost perfect scores they do not neglect to basically state that the game is fun, but they really like it for the graphics and grinding, there is nothing else the game offers and PvP isn't that important to them it seems, they're not crazy about it.

I said before that I played it for around 3 hours and immediately canceled the pre-order, but it wasn't entirely like that, I also looked for some reviews first because everything felt off, I wanted to make sure it's actually as bad as the first impression and I am sure a "leveling is fun, but I'd rather just find a spot and grind to the max level" MMO is not what I am going to find fun and not something that will ever be popular outside of Asia, these kind of MMOs didn't make it "outside" so far and I see now reason for this one being different, graphics and its take on hack and slash won't be enough.

Shame this wasn't what I expected, hopefully the "next big thing" will be better, I'm looking for a MMO, spent enough years on WoW for now, if only there'd be something important released in the next few years :/.

Nope I'll be passing on that. I'm gonna spend my money on an actually fun innovative mmo, GW2. I have had the luck of being able to play and experience both games and the only thing that Tera does better is graphics on a technical level. IMO GW2 will be the MMO to go with this year.

I know you said you read around too, but lets be honest, 3hrs isnt that much. Thats like off of noob island and to the first area, if that? Would you give WoW praise after 3 hours of trying it?

I will be buying Tera and playing day 1. It seems decent/good. I like the tanking mechanics as a lancer.

I'm not too concerned about a grind. After playing Final Fantasy XI for 3years I'm pretty numb to grinding and in some cases prefer it to questing.

I cant say how endgame is so the game very well could suck like SWOR did, but I enjoy what I played. If anything It will satisfy my MMO crave for a while until the next one. Just not right to dismiss it so quickly. I understand personal preference and all.

the character customization looks good, but im not too sure if this game will pay off. I'm still looking forward to it a little i guess.

Nope, I considered GW 2, but I will be skipping it, unless there'll be some real enjoyment and activity while questing in the world and if it has some decent PvE, but in general I do not like how classes work (don't matter) in PvE and I really don't like how the PvP works, in short, if it has a decent community doing stuff in the world I might get it, but even so, I won't play it much.DanielDust

It is a good thing TERA is supposedly remaking thet newb island. And replace it with something more enjoyable.

I like the PvP system, Combat (because the crappy static hotkey combat system most mmos use is utterly terrible), and Graphics. But I heard nothing but bad things about the questing.

I'm looking forward to seeing what others think about it, but not looking forward to playing it myself. Nothing wrong with the game, I'm just kind of done with MMOs for awhile. I'll get back to MMOs eventually, but right now I have too many non-MMOs to catch up on as well as new games.
