TERA Online

looks good from those 2 screens, I hadn't heard of it before though. Download some Ultima Online and play that shit with me until this is released.

Oh, kewl. This topic exists already. I've been following TERA http://tera-online.com since about the time this thread was posted. The Korean game should launch this year and the Western beta should begin this year, as well. I'm pretty stoked about this game as everything I've seen, especially the combat, makes me think that it will be amazing fun to play.

Over recent years I've played D2, WoW and more recently Aion, which was a huge disappointment, especially after everyone else in my guild quit. In my mind, TERA combines the best of these. The action combat of D2, the rich world and leveling curve of WoW and graphics similar to those of Aion. This is a Korean game, but is being adapted to be more Western player-friendly than, say Aion is. This isn't just a translation/localization like Aion was. The Western game experience won't be like that of the Korean players; there will be less grind and more quests for us, for instance. We will also have the choice of PvE and PvP-ruleset servers.

Anyhoo, you can check out the link above for more info, but here is a walk-through of a level 35 (max will initially be 60) instance, and this was the press demo presented recently at PAX. For some reason, the play-by-play commentary might be helpful to people who aren't familiar to the game, but it's kind of corny.



And for a better look at some of the eye candy taken from official trailers. This is older footage, but also done with the game engine.



And we shouldn't forget the impressive advances in bewbie physics.



Submitted for your consideration.

Sounds pretty good then, if it isn't just a mindless grind like how Korean mmos are. Let's just hope it lasts longer than APB.(seriously, 88 days? wtf)

Korean Open Beta starts on the 11th of this month. The game is looking good. I suggest watching in HD, as always.





Oh right, there is actual gameplay, too.

Just got my email with the invitation to the Community Play Event (preview) next weekend. Seriously looking forward to it. The game's still months from launch, so Rift will tide me over, but I'm psyched to have a chance to experience the combat.

/dance

I've been playing Rift since beta and I have to say, it's an amazing game. Truly a competitor that will/is giving WoW some competition. I'm waiting for TOR, but this is a great filler. You should check it out if you haven't already.

:hello2:

Quick necro/bump because TERA is finally in closed beta and will be released on May 1!!!

Here's a pretty good example of a low-level group instance. This group knew nothing about the place beforehand, so the commentary's actually kind of fun. Fullscreen 1080p recommended.

I have a couple friends who have been playing in the Beta (apparently preordering got them spots). One is super stoked about it. The other is a bit more tepid on the game but I suspect that's mostly because he's a major Star Wars geek so SWTOR is giving him a lot of what he wants. It looked decent for what it was but not my style.

For the next Beta Weekend, running from March 23rd to 25th, keys will be available from both MMORPG.com and Massively.

It's a 23 Gb+ download, so you might want to start downloading it soon, depending on your connection.

Played both Terra Betas with my guild just to get us warmed up for game launch. Going to be serious grinding the first week of the release. My main character is going to be a Berserker, they seem pretty OP for a melee dps class, esp with pocket heals all the way. The graphics make me seriously want to drool, lol. I swear every time my toon moves I can see up her ass and that is NOT a coincidence.

What I have noticed in this fun world of fantasy game play....

1. There's no 'fat' girls but many 'phat' girls..
2. Lip gloss is self-perpetuating.
3. There's no such thing as an "A" cup unless its a pre-pubescent female.
4. The scanty female clothing is designed with self adhesive portions to avoid slips.
5. The vast majority of these sex godess looking women can kick 'man ass' with little problem...
:-D

I seriously lol'd at the self adhesive part.

I played korean retail TERA off and on for 6 months or so, my time just ran out today. i played all CBT's in NA, waiting for the OBT.
im a huge mmo whore. it's all i do.
After playing Aion for 2 years, it's something refreshing and new. I love it.
