Irregardless I pmed another person who was enthusiastic about this game when it actually came out and paid for it hoping that the problems that was coming over would be changed for us, a north american audience.

What we got was minuscule change and people left, quickly.

What has happened with Tera Rising is atrocious, they are offering the game that we paid for for free and are now adding just some of the things that would have helped the game when it first launched as paying bonus'.

It has gone fully fledged pay to win, with elite players and the grab bags, and Enmasse claims since people that are not paying do not get any nerfs that it is a truly free to play experience. That is utter bullshit, and those from review sites that have said so have not even played the game as it once was, these changes were easy to implement early and were not.

Another thorn in my side is I saw many accounts on their site (when i went on their earlier since my CC was apparently reattached to my account) making threads about getting elite status when last June, and continuing on since, were on the forums frequently saying it needs to be free to play because they shouldn't be forced to pay, but here they are just "eliting" (subscribing), because it is an apparent "choice", bet they would stop playing in a month if they played what we played, since their attention span and investment in the game was nil.

It is a perpetual spin around the drain which is the mmo(rpg) market. Instead of wanting good p2p people chant f2p, which there are hundreds of varying from shit to piss poor.

What happens in 5 months when new elites leave because they are not having continuing fun (which led the game ot its current state) and they have to devise a new way to bring people back. IE higher, more potent, buffs to aid even worse players.


Tera, as a korean developed mmo, receives a trickle of content that revolves around dungeons (very few of them btw) just recently alleviated by a daily possibly giving fodder for enchanting. So you get your thing from the dungeon, then just log in 10 minutes a day to up it till next tier.

1 bg, 1 type of arena, nearly no dungeons per tier, and 1 raid.

This game has been out for 2 years nearly, and this is the showing?


If Rift was full action it would be the most underrated mmo out there, it gives people more things to do in 3 month intervals than Tera has in its lifetime.


/e a thing here at the end, I refuse to play free to plays in any form, games rated M. Anyone can now dl it, even kids and ruin my experience at least with p2p I know the people I am surrounded by have put the same investment in and are getting out of it what hey want. Also destroys the rating system, again the game is rated m and again anyone can dl it. Also it makes, I am going to be racist here because a ethnic group completely fucked over the pvp server and qqed forever about it when they were punished, filthy Brazilians (and others) and crying because the game is laggy/not translated/not catering to their schedules with nexus. Game is not f2p and the world expects them to increase their labor force so some BR can play for free? GTFO.

These are cold truths about the f2p market and why I refuse to play them.

A game requires a purchase upfront. Game was 50$ on release, then was 30 with a free trial and apparently that was not enough, it must be 100% free then plebs can go pay for buffs like the plebs they are because "I chose to".

You get daily buffs. XP per monster GOLD per monster and GOLD per quests...OTher than that you may get some tera strongbox keys here and there for extra gold but other then that... the guy up top who trolled the game is just a sad little man. Defintely worth a shot since its free
And its not like DIABLO and POE where you can max ur lvl in a day or 2...takes longer

halved dungeon cooldowns and increaed dungeon drop rates for eli-subscribing-ing.

in a korean grinder centered around, very few, dungeons. Pay To Win

And Everything I have said, which is what the quote is, is true.

If you can come up with a reason why they still have not fixed nexus lag half a year after it was given to us...

I played since the very first NA beta and even months before that, what about you?

Here is how the game plays, and people will try to refute but will fail hard.

Level, it is decent and fun the combat is good > hit cap and have fun doing the dungeons once or twice > realize after the 30th time in the same dungeon that (lets assume you have gotten everything +9) you have not been able to get  +10 on anything > bored with dungeons you want to try nexus > lag 5 fps afk fest  (nexus is one of the two ways to get pvp gear) >  annoyed with doing laggy boring open world bosses that are less interactive than bams because they are so laggy you que up for pvp >  get shit on by A) people with +12 pve or people with some +6-9 pvp gear (because they cant be assed to grind the shit out of 2 dungeons to up their gear), don't forget that there is only one bg no variation it is literally a run around and take capture point fest> upset with the fact you got rolled in all the bgs you did and have 1/10th the required (after 2 hours)  points required to get your cheapest piece relevant to this tier.....

TL;DR

nexus - a laggy, and still unfixed afk fest to earn some pvp points (not the same as ones earned in bgs)
dungeons - barely any that you need to run over and over to be good at any of the following. I think t14 is still the most current, which came out in the summer.
bgs - a runaroundincircles fest to cap points.
arenas - I did not take part in this, but it is what it is.

Last bit here, the game is good if you play on making irl money on it. Sub and gain the unfair advantages over other players, and farm gold. Last I checked you can make 80$ per 10k and with these new buffs to paying players I bet I could make 160$ a day of 8 hours straight farming.

when 100% alks hit the shop I will go to the store, get a pipe, sit back and scoff.

F2P bro all i got to say. You want to cry about people getting bonus's for paying 15 dollars a month sub  which is the same equiv of people buying gold in games w $. Other then that if you dont like the nexus lag dont do it, and if your bored of the endgame move along. Come back when content is added, however to each his own i guess

TO op try it till u get bored
