This post deserves more attention from the devs and action actually taken about it very very soon.
@Khandi No I wasn't. I quit about a month or so before the Queen of Argon release. I just couldn't stand the ridiculous FPS issues that were caused by certain end-game instances and the nexus or basically anywhere that has too many objects. Even with the lowest settings, it's still such a horrible experience.

One of the biggest reasons to why I left... Why should I continue to play a game if it can't even run very well on even the lowest graphical settings.
Really do hope they fix this soon instead of trying to cover up all these issues by releasing cosmetics left and right..

They still haven't fixed the FPS issue in TERA? When will this ever happen...
You know that would be really wicked. I get 4 FPS just in bg, with everything turned down to lowest setting, so something like this I'd be raped before I got off one heal. Too bad.
Kouto you made me lol irl :P

If things are looking well in this PVP server, community wise, I may even come back to TERA for good.
@PivotPvP / @RISEOFTHEMYSTIC - Lake of Tears is not for you.
Go back to your own server threads and stop trolling for attention. We don't care about your opinions. We are having fun here and are breeding a server that is fun and is in support of more Open World PvP.
~Sincerly,
The new players to Tera who don't give a [filtered] about your thoughts, or MT.

Skills in PVP than gear in TERA? I must be dreaming.
You should keep this permanent EME... It will show that you keep your words in the TERA Vision video.

Here is your answer OP.
Tera is broken. I play a on a high end computer too. Been like this since beta and no fixes will ever be implemented. You either deal with it, or play pretty much any other game for good fps.
Here is your answer OP.
Conflict in Cyrodiil, Part 1
War between the Alliances rages across Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online, and the province of Cyrodiil is the site of the fiercest battles. Control of the Imperial City could turn the tides of the conflict, and each Alliance is keenly aware of its importance. Find out how you’ll be able to aid your Alliance as it vies for the Ruby Throne.
You’ll be able to help push your Alliance towards victory in Cyrodiil in a variety of ways (not just through defeating other players), and we want to shed some more light on the details in this two-part article. In this first installment, we’ll discuss the various activities you can participate in while in Cyrodiil, Campaigns and how they work, and the kinds of rewards you’ll earn. Let’s get started!
Exploring Cyrodiil
No matter what you enjoy the most, you’ll find something to do in Cyrodiil as you support your Alliance in the war. You don’t have to wait to participate, either—you can jump in and experience all the province has to offer starting at level 10. If you enjoy fighting against players in the other Alliances, you’ll find no shortage of PvP combat in Cyrodiil, but there’s much more.
Towns
Several towns in Cyrodiil, like Cheydinhal and Bruma, are home to citizens eager for protection and assistance as the war threatens to destroy their homes and ravage their land. Desperate, they’ll accept help from any Alliance, and they’re willing to pay. The citizens of towns in Cyrodiil are neutral towards player characters, but guards from the Alliance that holds nearby keeps will patrol the streets.
You’ll be able to complete repeatable quests for all the towns in Cyrodiil. Each town faces its own challenges; for example, Imperial forces still occupy the northern portions of Cheydinhal, and the citizens need your help to drive them out. Help the townspeople, and you’ll be rewarded with gold and experience.
Crafting Resources
The vast province of Cyrodiil, from its fertile farmland to snowy mountains, is rich in resources prized by craftsmen. As you explore the diverse landscape, you’ll discover sought-after resources and materials to use in crafting. There are valuable materials that can only be obtained in Cyrodiil, and players of any level will be able to forage for them. Keep in mind that Cyrodiil is very large—if you prefer to avoid battles with other players, it will be easy to find materials far from keeps and other large conflicts. Crafting tables will be available in safe areas near the entrances to Cyrodiil.
Guild Quests
Both the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild have interests in Cyrodiil. Assisting them in their efforts by braving the volatile area will allow you to increase your standing in each guild. You can advance in the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild in your home Alliance or in Cyrodiil.
Molag Bal is attempting to pull Tamriel into his Oblivion plane of Coldharbour using diabolical constructs called Dark Anchors. If you can defeat his minions and find a way to banish the Anchors clawing into Cyrodiil’s soil, the Fighters Guild will reward you.
Long-lost books of lore are at risk as war cuts a fiery swath across Cyrodiil. The Mages Guild is determined to recover and protect as many of these tomes as possible, and you will gain their favor if you can return the priceless books.
Ruins and Caves
Caves, crumbling towers, and Ayleid ruins dot the landscape in Cyrodiil. Locations like these are known to contain valuable treasures, but they’re often protected by brigands (or much worse). If you choose to delve into the depths in the pursuit of gold or glory, be prepared! Even if you can defeat the inhabitants and their dangerous leaders, you’ll always have to be on your guard for explorers from the other Alliances who seek the same treasures. Though it’s possible to tackle these challenges on your own, it’s always a good idea to bring two or more allies, especially with the threat of attacks by enemy players.
Campaigns
A Campaign consists of a group of players battling for control of Cyrodiil for a set period of time—think months, not days or weeks. Multiple Campaigns in Cyrodiil occur at the same time. You’ll be assigned to a Campaign based on several factors, like your Alliance, Campaign populations, and your guild(s). However, you’ll be able to visit Campaigns in order to join your friends for an evening, or join a new one (but at a cost of Alliance Points or gold).
During a Campaign, your Alliance’s performance will affect bonuses players can receive across the game (not just in Cyrodiil). Campaign scores, which you’ll be able to view, are evaluated constantly in order to encourage competition all the way down to the last seconds. Campaigns can last for a month or longer, giving everyone a chance to pitch in for the war effort.
Rewards
If you choose to participate in the ongoing battle in Cyrodiil, you’ll be awarded with Alliance Points, experience, and gold. You can use Alliance Points to purchase armor and weapons or to advance in several skill lines specific to Cyrodiil. These skill lines will allow you to become a more powerful fighter, a greater leader, or an expert in warfare.
Even though your allies can always use more troops on the battlefield, you don’t have to participate in Cyrodiil to reap its rewards. Your Alliance’s performance in a Campaign can earn the whole Alliance bonuses to gold and experience, boosts in combat, Alliance Points, and more.
Make sure to check back for Part II, where we’ll take a closer look at securing and defending keeps and resource objectives and the siege weapons you’ll use in these battles.

PAX East Coverage
Action Trip
"I’ve never played an Elder Scrolls game (even though I’ve meant to play Skyrim, really) and I’m not a really a fan of MMOs. However, despite these facts and despite the fact that I needed a Bethesda representative to hold my hand and tell me how to do everything, I had a blast playing The Elder Scrolls Online."

[Elder Scrolls Off the Record
I am here to tell you that my fears have been erased, and I hope yours have as well. Elder Scrolls Online is a true Elder Scrolls game. It feels and plays like the single-player Elder Scrolls titles that you and I love. What could be better than that?
Force Strategy Gaming
Front Towards Gamer
All told, Elder Scrolls Online is exactly what we expected it to be, but still a pleasant surprise. The gameplay just plain works in an MMO format.
Game Industry Biz
Firor and Bethesda aren't afraid of the player expectations when it comes to the Elder Scrolls brand. In fact, Firor said that Elder Scrolls has always lent itself to a possible MMO.
Game Shampoo
The combat has a speed to it that other games in the series would be jealous of. You have to keep your wits about you as enemies pelt you with AoEs and lumbering power attacks. Each must be countered in its own way.
GameBreaker TV
The combat system is fun and you gain access to awesome abilities fast. The whole system is significantly better than anything in the single player Elder Scrolls games.

I tend to stay away from MMOs because I know it's in my personality to explore every facet until I look up and realize it's been three years and I haven't paid my electrical bill and how has my laptop been running this long without juice. But ESO feels like something I want to get involved in. It's a Skyrim MMO in (as far as I can tell) every sense of the meaning. I just need a few more days with it to be sure.
Massively
Each new zone brings with it a new and varied aesthetic, and there were more than a few occasions when I simply had to stop and admire the scenery. From strange, curved Orcish longhouses to massive, towering Redguard fortresses and mysterious ancient ruins, the art style of the game remains true to the source material and brings environments last seen in the old-school Elder Scrolls games (in this case, Daggerfall) to life.

MMORPG
I’m really digging a lot of the stuff Zenimax Online is doing to bring Elder Scrolls into the MMO genre. And most important of all, I came away from my demo feeling like Zenimax Online is handling the IP with a great deal of respect for the source material and the series’ storied history.

New Game Network
A couple hours barely scratches the surface of what is sure to be a game that aims to addict players for years. But I found that Elder Scrolls Online is truly seeking to preserve what makes the series so great, continuing a tradition of exploration, surprise, and the feeling like someone built an entire world just for you, even if there are other people playing it.

For those who are long-time Elder Scrolls fans, such as myself, you know that the series is absolutely perfect for an MMO component. The game’s setting is already vast, the character development is immense, and each player can play the game they want, whether it be as a lone ranger or a member of a large horde. The storyline isn’t narrow, and you have many opportunities to branch out.
Pokket Productions
Polygon
Combat is fast and fluid, non-playable characters are fully voiced, quests are clever without solely relying on fetch questing and similar MMORPG tropes.
The Shadowed Mare
In MMO history you rarely got the options to truly customize your character, you had the typical Male, Female, Race, Body Type, Skin Colour, all of which did not have very many options. Elder Scrolls Online is our chance as MMO gamers to have that plethora of customization options, and trust me there is a plethora of them.

I was nervous that a development studio other than Bethesda was working on an Elder Scrolls game – not anymore. I have no doubt that Zenimax will produce a game that we can all be proud to own.
