You can maybe avoid all of the damage, (I say maybe because good luck avoiding everything) but when you do get hit by a boss say goodbye to 1/2 to 2/3 of your health. Even with some of the outdoor BAMs, like the spiders grief posted a screenshot of, they hurt really really bad and unless you are completely above the level of content that the monsters / bosses are, you will want a healer.

anyone have a tera beta key for sale?

its called buy the game and get into the beta automatically

This is what I have to say

what are your thoughts on GW2?

this game remind me a bit too much of wow, while gw2 seems to add alot more things to the table.

I've played like 1500 hours of guild wars one, and the only thing they're really bringing to the table right now is bigger environments/active events/better graphics. But the gameplay is still super static. (nontheless I'd still play it)

While tera has an active skill system, aiming your roundhousekicks/aoe attacks/arrow (like fps). And they've also got some other new things, like a political system.

how can you say their dynamic combat is static

you clearly haven't seen any of the pvp gameplay videos or anything like it.

you can also dodge every attack in the game, so movement and position is an important factor. (like fps)

Also they are making the game much more social than any mmo there is, they have the sidekicking system, amazing underwater combat, best pvp in any game, and is just an overall polished game

so I dont know why you say they bring a few things to the table mate

and I forgot to say, they removed the holy trinity system, so no dedicated healers or tanks. everyone can fill a role needed in the team, so teamwork is very important in guild wars 2

I disagree, the gameplay of gw2 seems much closer to wow than tera.

In tera the gameplay is more like monster hunter or god of war. There are hitboxes, collision detection, and you have to aim your attacks.

GW2 is more static, you click on the target then click tour hotkey to fire your attack at thwm. And the dodge button isnt a true dosge button like tera, since there is no hit boxea or collision detection, it is more like a positioning button. You press it and your character moves elsewhere, you arent really dodging.

With that said i am interested in both games, but after playing tera, i am way more excited for that game. You just have to find a way into the beta, as soon as people try the gameplay they are hooked.

I'd just like to point out, removal of the "holy trinity" is next to impossible for an mmo.

And just because dedicated roles have been removed, there will still be classes that are better at healing or taking damage, these are... what do you know..... dedicated healers and tanks! (kind of defeats the purpose)

As soon as you make everyone the same is the day you lose massive ground with players.

My friends and I from other MMOs started a new Tera IRC channel because the "known" one is full of tools and massive d*ck wavers.

#NATera @ Quakenet IRC if anyone wants to join, pretty active so far and will get more people. It'll be a pretty active chat.
