I am attempting to be fair to Tera and to weight things appropriately.

Music: 8/10 (5%) = 4%. Music is solid. I enjoy listening to it.

Character Creation: 8.5/10 (5%) = 4.25%. Although not very creative or in depth, I enjoyed it more than most.

Game Interface: 7/10 (10%) = 7%. Very pedestrian but passable.

Graphics: 8/10 (20%) = 16%. Graphics are solid. Enjoyable environment. Main city is actually quite nice. Monsters are well done.

Community and population: 9/10 (10%) = 9%. Great community. Very busy with lots of trash talk. Open area chat.

Character Building: 3/10 (10%) = 3%. No customization at level 19 at all. I was just another clone priest. Equipment was not required. Trying was not required. Crafting was not needed.

Gameplay (including difficulty): 3/10 (40%) = 12%. I'm sorry. Game fails here. The PvE in this game, as discussed numerous times in the forums, is a joke. Monsters choreograph attacks for 5 seconds, you move 2 inches to the left,and you can reign death without reprisal. Like a lot of posters here, I never died PvE during the beta. Trust me I tried, pulling 6 monsters at a time. Moreover, my attacks did not correlate well to the monster. I didn't feel like I was actually aiming...I was merely trying to adapt to the game's choppy combat system. Far too slow and far too boring. Quests were abominable. Never read one and never got stuck....just followed maps like a lemming. No skill required. Wait, once I had to equip something and once I had to teleport. That was about it.

55.25% overall grade. Qualifies as one of the worst MMO's I have played.

So wait... you're trying to add "Character Building" into your "review" one level before glyphs are available, and then say it's bad?

As a random person, your authority is both respected and legitimate. You are now my game review deity, how may I worship you and serve your needs?

I'm sure u just stopped right there at level 19 and then wrote a so-called review like most of others saying this game is just too easy.. sigh..

Overall a dumb review basing the game off of the worst levels in the game. Like literally 2 levels later the game gets 200x better.

Character building: I like how you decided to chose the exact level before customization begins. GG

Gameplay: As far as it seems you only got to level 19 therefore everything you said means nothing. Get to level 19 in any other game and tell me how amazing your gameplay was. I'm sure you'd give it an even lower score.


Enjoy your tab target crap.

I'm sorry...WHAT?!

You made it to 19! Well congratulations! You are now entitled to share your opinion about all the content you never even tried.

Try soloing a BAM, try doing 2 or 3 crabs at the same time with a group, try an instance or two. After that, please, do come back and tell me how it's too easy.

It's okay, I'm sure if he/she died while questing, or found it too difficult somehow then the Gameplay part might have gotten a 2/10 instead of a 3/10.

the fact that you have a 3/10 for gameplay kind of discredits you, cause everyone whos played TERA now (or at least most) knows that the combat (i.e. gameplay) is probably the best part of this game, it is literally the main attraction point.

and based on your written part of that review it sounds like you didnt even make it to lvl 18ish (when you can fight BAMs effectively, then later at 20 do dungeons), which means you didnt experience enough of the game to write a proper review. that or you were too chicken to try fighting the BAMs.

basically it sounds as though youre far from qualified to actually be writing a review people are supposed to take seriously. so either give up and dont play, no one will grieve the loss, or dont give up so early.

EDIT: apparently you admitted to only making it to lvl 19..... good job giving up and assuming you know what the majority of the gameplays gonna be for everyone (i.e. dungeons, BAMs, and pvp, which it sounds like youve had zero experience in).

slow combat? D=, i mustve played a diffrent game x.x, bt everyones entitled to there opnion, i hope you enjoy your next game =D
