MMOs have gear which sets people apart.


And this is the number one problem seen with MMOs AND it's something EME has advertised Tera as doing to break the mold.

I think 60-80% skill and 20-40% gear would be a good balance. Tera is one of the few MMOs that could hypothetically buck the crappy trend and let skill shine over gear.

Why they WOULDN'T do this is anyone's guess...

They wouldn't do it because no one would play the game.

Gotta have the gear grind or it becomes a ghost town. Everyone says they hate grinds yada yada yada but you don't see that stopping anyone from trying to get the gear.

Yeah sure it would be fun to make gear unimportant but the fun would effectively loose its charm and "Fun" after a month when everyone realizes how boring a mmo is without trying to get the best Epeen.

Anyone who thinks 1 shot kills are good at equal level in PVP is retarded

The point being the 1 shots are occurring because of the gear disparity. None of that gear is unattainable, and in fact seems to be more easily gotten since he said you could queue more often than timer showed.

Any MMO that has any sort of gear progression vs skill/stat progression is going to have issues such as this appear when people with wildly divergent sets of gear fight one another.

there can be a gear grind without making said gear incredibly important. PVE only stats, stat nerf in PVP, smaller increments between tiers, or equally as powerful PVP gear. pick one.
it aint hard, and kinda like the guy said earlier, TERA's combat gave the game potential to be a groundbreaking PvP game, but they aren't even trying.

This.

I'm not suggesting making gearing OPTIONAL, but what's the point of "a skill-based action MMO" when gear creates such a divide that you can 1-shot a guy who needs to hit you 50 times to kill you?

Please. To be blunt, they're complaining because they suck. They had a horrible team comp. But that's what people always do, they get destroyed, then blame the game, not themselves. Yup... definitely because of gear..

Not working together, hardly dodging anything. Hell that archer just walked up right behind the sorc, charged full and fired. I don't think the sorc even noticed he was there, that just goes to show how bad these people are. Granted, they were doing barely any damage to them, but they were going up against experienced pvpers, of course they got [filtered] on. This isn't call of duty where you can just get on and fire randomly expecting a kill or 2.

So you think a priest one shotting a slayer with +9 gear just cus that priest has pvp gear and the 13+ buffs is due to team comp problem and lack of awareness and experience? Because i am the slayer in that group. You are only watching a video feed about this. If you were in that battle you would know that archer's volley can 2 shot me easily. No need to even do piercing shot.
