I'm out. Hate the combat system.

Pretty game, knew the combat was something I might not like when I tried it, as I really dislike console games and console-style fighting. I was willing to try it out, however, on the off chance that I might be surprised. But I really dislike the way the game limits my movement! It's herky-jerky---I need to click Mouse2 to move out of the way of a big attack? What? Why can't I just freely move out of the way on my own? Everything just feels...wrong.

And don't get me started on the quests or the grindfest that was fighting. I was bored before I'd even made it out of the newbie area.

I'm not going to trash talk the game more than what I've already said---I know tons of people like this sort of thing, and there's clearly a demand. And I'm not going to whine about the cash I just dropped for a game I won't play---I knew it was a gamble. Instead I'll just say: if you are enjoying Tera, great. Have fun.

I can honestly say, however, wow. I really, really hate the combat system. Shame. It's so pretty!

You know ASD let you move back and side to side right?

the back steps are actual abilities that create more distance b/w you and your target . . . . . .

Sorry to hear it! I am loving the combat system. It's still taking some getting used to as I have almost 10 years of MMO habits to undo, but I'm loving it all the same. Can't say it's for everyone, though.

well.... you CAN just move out of the way if you want, with any class really.

its not that the game is "herky-jerky," its that youre herpy-derpy.

I sorta miss the day's when games didn't have a forum.

Researching the game meant asking friends if it was good or not.

Forums kill games and posts like this one where a complete noob that has no idea about how Tera's game mechanics work deters potiential players for no reason other than the noob has zero idea about how tera is.
