it was good
but the ending felt rushed

well, typical eroge guys. easier for guys to relate to a nondescript bland character (or superimpose themselves in) i guess? iirc, that's part of the popularity behind faceless MCs.

wow someone read that?? and then after reading it they didn't take a huge fanboy twat piss all over me..

which forums am I on again??

btw I have seen you posting about Tera alot and am thinking of getting it.. I think you are playing the beta or Korean version and you don't seem to be one of the mindless weebs that flock this forum so i'll ask..

what do you think of the game?? you are playing the beta right now?

it looks to me like its going to be everything Rushy hearts should have been.. a "REAL" action MMO that is not a fucking repetitive dungeon crawl grind turd fest.. which got my attention as soon as I found out what it was.. however the ellin scare the hell out of me.

ya, in NA beta, but i have a jtera sub too.
honestly the best game ive played in years, they really did well to hold it back & revamp it. It was originally supposed to release as a f2p before Aion. I'm not sure about rustyhearts, im still permab& from PWE. The only other (good - not looking at you FEZ) action oriented game I liked was dragon nest - but, that it was a repetitive instance grind and lol nexon servers.
Tera is.. relatively easy to lvl in. There's 3 main tiers of quests, and then guild qs, repeat qs, gathering, etc on top of that. you won't be short on xp. Esp since they didnt nerf monster xp into the floor either. If you're a grinder, that's perfectly viable too. As far as the action goes, it's fucking amazing. Idk what else to say.

Crafting system's a joke atm. Alchemy's the only (consumables, hurr) one even worth bothering with. Supply tokens are more or less a joke as well. Similar to aion's coin quest reward system. they're okay if you wanna get crap items (same w crafting) to use for enchanting. Hopefully they'll get some sort of revamp come NA release.

hmm it sounds like it is a fun game to play as far as the fighting but lacking in key places

like it sounds like its ez to lvl.. idk how long it would take to hit the level cap but if you can do it in a month that sucks.. and the crafting sucks?? that should be what gives you the best items.. i'm sure there will be more to it later..

and would there be any reason to grind after you hit the level cap if the crafting is a joke??

sounds kinda disappointing for a p2p... but I am already committed to buying it thx to one of my friends so we shall see

/e I just hope its not one of those games that is trying to cover up the fact that the game sucks with awesome graphics and what ever the hell this is...



because that would be a shame from what I hear about the fighting..

I guess if the fighting and graphics are good to start off all the lack of shit can be fixed with dlc.. but I would not like to rely on dlc to make a game good since dlc can break games too.

crafting's mostly for .. supplementary gear. quest greens are more than good enough for casual play. any spare gear's useful for enchanting. The enchant system is p.unique, I like it. Although, definitely a gold sink.

check out steparu's review, it's quite extensive. http://steparu.com/reviews/mmo-rpg-reviews/594-tera-online-review
altho it's >1year old so, some of the issues have been fixed (and new content released, etc).

you get the best items from dungeons. it's possible to solo (incredibly long time) some of the earlier instances, 2man, 3man, etc. 5ppl/party cap.
but the dungeons themselves are quite fun, too. or you can grind elites for money, drops.

XP in tera, is not like.. other mmos. Or rather, ppl's perception of how XP used to work & how it works in recent games is different. You're no longer grinding xp, because it's the only thing to do in a game, but that it's more of a byproduct for *doing* other things.
Mostly, which is getting rich/shiny items. Tera's got massive gold sinks. There's always something to spend money on. 'n when you're geared out in full +12 shit, there's an end-end-endgame dungeon you can try.

thank you, with that post you have gotten me excited for it.

when is the 2nd season/OVA gonna come out?

Never.
With and ending like that, it isn't open.

Your sig is broken, btw.

about my rant on Angel Beats.. it was hypacritical because of one thing I said and I am going to address it now



I lied and should have left that out, and I'm not so much of a douche that I can't admit a mistake

the comedy was quite good at parts and genuinely made me laugh, hard.

I am coming back and saying something about it for two reasons 1 I was wrong and should not be bashing it outright
2 because I linked this thread in my guild chat because of some of the Tera info provided by Gensokyo, and I have recommended this anime to one or two people in my guild.

I am just kinda sick of the same thing from Jun Maeda over and over and would much rather watch something action packed like Black Lagoon..
but even I like sappy stuff once in awhile and while we are on the topic I will also admit that Clannad and the after story is one of my favorite animes in that genre

and that is why probably my favorite anime of all time is the ladder Shakugan no Shana despite the number of titles I have seen that are honestly better.

so there it is.. I was wrong and Angel Beats is not all bad, I just do not think it is the masterpiece some people think it is and I am sorry to the o/p and any other fans for what I said.

/e also want to thank LyZeR for the pm the other day letting me know what a douche I was becoming.. we all need a wake up call now and then.
