TERA

[Chunster]

No, not talking about Tera Patrick/Hopkins, you perverts.

A new PC only MMO is coming out, but not another point & clock, then cycle thru your skill roster like WoW & CO. No, this more of a PSU like game. Action, and more action, and manual aiming and dodging.


A MMO meets mass brawler action game, if you will.



From the FAQ here > www.tera-online.com

1. Q.How does TERA differ from other MMORPGS?

TERA’s groundbreaking combat system will set a new standard in MMORPGs, offering all of the depth of an MMO with the intensity and gratification of an action game.
TERA’s innovative action combat system allows players to step into a world where their actions, teamwork, and daring combat expertise—not statistics—give them a chance to become true heroes
The real-time dynamic battle system gives players more control and constant involvement in the action! No more point-and-click or repetitive cycling through a palette of spells and skills. Rather than locking onto targets automatically, the position of your character and the timing of attacks, blocks, and dodges determine the outcome of each confrontation. As a result, combat is more intuitive, exciting, and realistic.

2. Q.I’ve seen videos of TERA controlled with a gamepad. What’s this about?

TERA’s action-combat gameplay lends itself to gamepad support very well, and we plan to support gamepads in the initial launch. We encourage everyone to try TERA with a gamepad. It just might grow on you!

Atm, its presented at the Gamescom in Cologne. Couple of friends of mine test played it for some time.

Had this to say :

- Its a lot of fun

- Mob, world, etc design is typical Korean and really good, cool

- Your play Skill > Level of character. From the get go the game forces you to move constantly, (re)position yourself, use your skills effectively, etc.

- Skills like Block or dodge have cooldown and recovery or limited usage time. So gotta use em smart. None of that Jade Empire crap.

- Lots of subsystems like Blockcancel into Attack, etc

And the rumor is that TERA has a pricetag of $50 Mil (probably for korean and NA, EU localisation put together)



Some more stuff :
