firstly I got a copy of the digital edition just so I could get into the beta testing only to find out they are spaced further apart than I initially thought, i.e. the test run every 2 weeks rather than one which is a little too far spaced and also that you CANT retrain your beta characters when the game is launch, which pretty much defeats the purpose of playing beta for me. but I dont want to let this interfere my impressions with the game (without having played it).

k. now a few things Id like to say after looking at the screen shoots and videos.

-Art Style. very cutesie and not to my taste. but the quality of the graphics overall seem good for a mmorpg game. another criticism is I dislike the huge weapons everyone seems to carry around and movement animation of characters both of which are just not serious enough imo.

-Races. dont like the little girl or the furry animal. shouldve tried to keep a more serious focus since I doubt theyll add much appeal to the game anyway.

-Game Play. quite fluent looking and the player can interject during more than they would in a more traditional mmorpg. after playing swtor I was let down by how unresponsive/mundane the controls were but things look different in this game in a positive way.

-forums. kinda underdone here and not very professional looking atm. the fact that the game can be bought yet not all the account handling tools are available yet is concerning. the design also not looking that nice tbh. but things could change in the future.

I stopped reading after this far just to say, you are a moron. In most games out there, there is always a Closed Beta wipe, and even normally an Open Beta wipe. But did you know that they are not going to wipe Open beta? and that if you pre-ordered you also get to continue your Open Beta character during early start may 28-30, before the game officially releases may 1st?

Uhm.. What MMO EVER let you keep your CLOSED beta character for launch? Your open beta character will be retained.

And if you want a more serious look, make a Amani, who cares what other races everyone else makes? to each his own, sheeeesh

all this game ever gives is option, you have options, a LOT of options. If you want to look like a bad [filtered], like i said, make an Amani. Simple as that.

and now that i read to your last one. They just updated from an older version of forums they had, and are not yet fully finished with these new forums here.

Yea everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I disagree with almost everything you just said xD. Art-style is all your own preference, but little girls and furrys not adding to the game? What madness are you speaking? They are awesome imo.

So... you have a problem with variety...?

prob is I know the frsking standard practice but misread the beta terms as meaning youll be able to continue your character after the beta period which would amount to a significant adv for beta testers. fmd. you annoy me already. there also no edit in the forums too, which is unbelievable.

I like how he bought the ce for beta access even though he dislikes most of the stuff that Tera has to offer.

I'd say 60 bucks nicely spent
