There's an old old saying which goes like this ...

"Jokes are made by people who know how to .. and does who don't keep their mouth shut and listen"

same thing goes out to you "elite tab target" gaming people.

now let's all digest ...

It's obvious that MOST of you mmo people have no idea what Tera really is .. and just because Pokket had a chance to try it out for .. let me guess for about 6 - 7 hours doesnt means her arguments are valid.

We, the living, call that sort of thing "breathing", Bill. ^_^

Yeah might check this one out.

Definitely not disturbing.  What's the word I'm looking for...  intriguing?  captivating?  mesmerizing?  entertaining?  awesome?  Maybe one of those works. ;)

after watching the beta videos of tera im not really sold on it.. i like the customization but at the same time given the limited sliders you will still get doppogangers which kinda makes it less unique...

and the combat really doesnt look fluid at all.. too much like a button mash then any sort of action fighting.. 

Looks like the same old mmo stuff to me. Only way I'll be looking into this is with a free beta invite or a free trial

 Button mashing will get you nowhere in this game.

I think the video was sped up and that's why it looked that way.  It does bring up an idea though, why hasn't someone made a "Dead or Alive" MMO yet? ;)

Honestly it looks like more of the same and there are always those who like the newest shiny thing out there.  I regrettably purchased Rift on release and I would have to be a fool twice over to purchase Tera on release.  Waiting on Guild Wars 2 and will be giving the FTP scene (specifically EQ when it goesFTP next month) a try until that is released.  Tera just looks like another game that the MMO community could have done without.

The difference here is that TERA was a lot of fun to play.  It doesn't feel like "more of the same" when you play it.  So, regardless of what it looks like, the gameplay is fun.  

They will have an open beta at the end of March or beginning of April, forget the exact date.  Give it a try then, free of charge.  You may like it.

No. 

Also, did she say there was no pvp in the game besides deuling? I hope she just meant in that beta, cause that's juts plain incorrect. No factions, and full pvp servers are the only reason I'm going to play... oh, and I do like the combat, lol, so I spose that too.

Is there open-world PvP in TERA?

There are world PvP servers in TERA; these PvP servers will also include battlegrounds that provide specific PvP rewards. There are also PvE servers that provide consensual PvP content, such as battlegrounds and duels.

Please don't comment on this without playing first. I have played and can tell you, not only can you choose a premade face, but then you can adjust, bone structure, nose, eyes, ears, etc. With all the options, it will be RARE to find someone who looks exactly like you. Try to get in the next beta and you will see. 

Also, in regards to the combat, again, you should try it before commenting, cause the combat in game is extremely fluid. Like I have said, the game is not perfect, but it's pretty damn good so far. 

You can put 5 smackers down at gamestop and pre-order and get in all the betas. Then if you don't like it, cancel and move your 5 to another game. 

What does she say at the very end of the video?    " I'll Troll ?"   or   "Altro?"  or "LOTRO?"

its driving me nuts someone enlighten me

So are those supposed to be boring and delayed skillshots?  Looks a lot more twitch + reward and punishment based combat, not the same ol lame ol watch cooldown, spam 1,2,3,4.  If you're telling me WoW's any different than spam 1,2,3,4, I know occasionally you look at the enemy CD and counter spell etc.  Same ol lame ol shit to me. 

Although Tera combat seems a lot more complex than this girl explains, I guess they also couldn't balance the pvp between melee and ranged classes.

I dont know about you but I dont move that much when I breath.  When I watched it, I couldnt help but keep asking myself why the avatars were moving so much.  I can only imagine it is an excuse to make the breasts move for the perv's.  Sadly, boobs do sell games.

It's a cartoon.  See some stuff in real life, then cartoons suddenly become less 'disturbing'.

I find some of the artwork in Tera really beautiful.  It is disturbing how many really poor artists are involved in mmo production.  There are some great artists that stand out though and to them I salute.

readin all them post again and it's very obvious that you guys just dont get one thing ... let's compare Tera to Aion .. there both Korean products .

Aion = massive grind fest.

Aion PVP = 3 - max 10 second battles. most of the time u have no freaking time to even react to any of the attack before you're dead.

now 

Tera = smooth leveling, not too slow not too fast.

Tera PVP = can last up to 5 minutes if both players know what they do .. 5 min is a lot but i'm just sayin it lasts long enough to be fun.

There will be guild battles in tera, battlegrounds ... tons of ways to customize your skillchains. 

plus the political system where only the Guild leader can be elected. you will be able to put people that are plain annoying and huge drama queens into prison ... u  can lower taxes .. u can summon more NPC's into the quest hubs and camps.

[Mod Edit]

I know how it feels to buy something because it's new and shiny and i've made my share of mistakes in doing so. So, I know when I'm making a foolish purchase. I've tried this game and know I've made a good purchase. Anyone that tab targets and button mashes in our current mmo's will fail miserably ( atleast in the beginning). I think WoW and friends have been breast feeding alot of people for far too long. I say that with love :)

Peace
