hye guys.. is this game worth to play or should i wait for gw2? any opinion since i cant try the game myself..

p/s: this is not fan boy question or raging Q. its just for the sake of gamers who looking for a game worth to spend on..

from my own view, its too early to give harsh comment, but when u reach 60, u will lost all the thing u need to keep playing, no reward for pvp, gvg is useless, not many stuff at high lvl that keep us entertain . ahh well, back to eve for me then

ok, here's my opinion. i've played & bought both games colletor edition. i've played this on beta & playin it rite now too. i've played GW2 beta 2.

tera u can only play in europe server cause us server block ip. the company running europe server which is frogster is a problematic company & fail much in handling support for the players, lol u can see this at their forum...maybe it's because the company is quite new or other reasons idk, i've never heard of this company till now...on the other hand gw2 of anet/ncsoft had been in mmo business for quite some times, lineage 2, gw1, aion...all r major & popular international games (correct me if i'm wrong, i dont wan to upset any1 lol)

Gaming:
the ping playing europe server aint good, meaning delay which is not very good for a action based mmo (no tab targetting...) <<< this's a serious matter u'll need to carefully think about. fyi, my pc is quite new (bought on april) wif gaming spec and 10mb Unifi, i'm also using WTFast for some mmo i'm playin...for some reasons WTFast failed to help me wif TERA...it'll still get delay...

both games r unique & very very beautiful rendered character, cities, scenery...
tera is somewhat action based mmorpg, aim xhair & fire stuffs/spells/melee which very few mmorpg had be4....it's also a typical grinding mmorpg, u'll need to grind to lvl up backup by storyline quest/sideline quest & repeatable quest + instances/dungeons. the character creation is great wif lots races to choose from compare to gw2. the open world in tera is not that big but the instances play is very good & fun, it's a rip off from WoW but it's a success! craftin in Tera is so-so... gameplay is fun at 1st but u'll get bored of it after some grind, lol but maybe the gears & craft will make it up for ya...for pvp idk never try & never will cause i noe i'll only end up being pawn wif this delay...u can have lots of fun when ur smooth but u'll get miserable when delay, unlike wow u can still play well even u got a 500+ ping!!! oh yea, for tera u dont have to wait, it's out now & final...

thr's not much i can say for gw2 since it's just at its 2nd beta mode, final & release maybe at the end of this year no confirmation yet..it's only open up a small part of its huge world, some instances & pvp. gw2 is unique on its own, it got a auto targettin which i think is quite a nice feature, switching weapon mode changes ur skills (u can have 2 set of weapons at a time), water battle changes ur skills, no mana/stamina casting, no stand ground casting, dodging button, no grinding, personal story, global event...all of this which i think is very unique & good, i've tons of fun & great experience playing wif. The city is Awesomely HUGE & LIVELY, no kidding! i've nvr try the pvp nor instances yet but i can say the personal story quest line, side quest & global event is very good. i've played gw1 pvp, i can say that gw2 pvp wont failed either...not sure bout instances though, thr's no tank/heal/dps watsoever in gw2, so i personally dont noe how it'll work successfully ...for lvl it'll change by zone, when u at low lvl zone ur lvl will change to lower lvl & when u r at the zone of ur lvl it'll change back, when in pvp its automatically change to full lvl. during the beta i'm playing it very smoothly without any delay or lag unlike tera & the ping went down even more with proxy (WTFast)...
well thr's still much will be change for gw2 since it's still on beta & the full game havent out yet...

Both games got its good & bad but i did recommend gw2 for the free subcription & smooth server (for me this's the most important when playing other country mmorpg) & i personally like gw2 gameplay beter but if u r sure that ur pc system is very good & u r sure that u got a very-Awesome-Internet then u can try out TERA! If not u r gonna end up miserably & cursing for the delay, lol! edited : i'm not sure it's our country internet fault or its theirs fault lol

Hi there,

I wonder any1 playing TERA Online US here ? Any1 know how to buy the time card ? thx ~~

Most of the players here play in TERA EU. So I doubt you would be able to find someone here on the US server.

For those who use tunneling program to play TERA, I think is better stop using it now beause Frogster are banning player who use it.

Also in Facebook TERA Singapore, they have the issue

I beg to differ on this, did you EVER see customer satisfy with ANY of the online games company?? No matter how good a company is, there still complain and shit.

I partially agree on edison. It isn't about how Frogster handles the game anymore. They might be incompetent in terms of response and feedback, and mess up the servers from time to time, but there will always be those who complain more than what they deserve. Those games you mentioned, especially Aion, wasn't really critically acclaimed at all. They were famous, sure, but they had bad remarks all over (maybe not GW1, but whatever, I never played it).

Heck I can't wait for GW2 myself. I wanna see what is this hype all about.

it's p2p

http://tera-europe.com/faq.html

guild wars 2 = pay for the box and play for free
tera = monthly fee, not sure if u gotta pay for the box tho

yeah it's true, i think i'm wrong at this. i like this game too & i do hope they can fix the delay though.


yeap, for aion i think their player drop to a critical lvl that they had to make it free 2 play. i nvr played it be4 though, typical korean games, beautiful art, mindless grinds, lol. gw1 aint that perfect too, it's just 20 lvl & later u just go for titles & achievements. u get bored fast.

u can try gw2 now. if u pre purchase now u can try their betas

games r just games, they got their good & bad. people can free to choose wat they wan to play. i'm just giving my opinion, cheers

thats totally depend on invidual
some ppl dont mind paying monthly for a good games, some ppl doesnt like to pay monthly, and theres even some ppl that doesnt like to pay at all.
1 thing i like to p2p is that it automatically filter out school kid.

Letting go of my Tera EU collector edition account. PM me if interested

Worthwhile playing? I might just try the 7 day trial

Since you have the 7 day trial, why don't you try it and see whether it is worthwhile.

i dun really mind playing around crybabies and whiners aka school kids provided the game is good content wise and not cash dependant too much (Dragon Nest anyone?). i can always ignore the whole world chat altogether and only turn it on if i have to. i got nothing to lose. i dun mind shelling out cash monthly if i think it's worth it either. heck i played mRO for a good 4 years back when it was hot. and i certainly dun mind paying a one time fee for a key as well. take Diablo3 for example. tho it goes from bug ridden to totally crap in a mere one month time that i had to rage quit. anyway, i was just pointing out the difference between GW2 and Terra, and whether Terra is p2p or f2p. i kinda saw someone threw in a question in this thread regarding this.

there is no point buying tera eu right now there is no endgame content and the population is dropping fast, heck they even ban asian player who use tunneling. if u like the graphic and 1 month enjoyment then buy it because after u hit 60 there is nothing to do except build up ur gear few hardmode dungeon and dailys thats it.

Edit: read the frogster forum to see what rly happening there and save urself some cash
