I'm a level 49 Priest on Tempest Reach. Me and a couple of friends played TERA when it came out,
but they quit around level 40 so I had to solo to 49. :c

With the population of TERA dwindling over the past months, it's getting more and more difficult to find parties to complete dungeons/BAM quests.

Guilds are filled with inactives/60's too busy with endgame content.
Matchmaking and LFG are a lost cause that yield no result.

I'm at the end of my rope. I really like this game but it's becoming unplayable because I have to solo everything which is no fun.

Okay I'll set the record straight.

The game is COMPLETELY F2P.
There is no initial purchase necessary - just download and play.
Elite and Founder status merely grants a few perks and bonuses not critical for playing the game.

The game is huge and will be going free in February. The exact date has not been revealed.

Next time just do a little research before asking the forums because everything you needed to know can be found in the FAQ: http://support.enmasse.com/tera/tera-rising-play-for-free#When_will_TERA_be_free?

Don't get too excited, Knoxxer has not confirmed or denied P2W yet. Could all come crashing down soon.


This is what I'm afraid of.
Therefore I said I'd be "making another go".
As in, I'll give it a chance.

The excitement is mostly just my pleasure at En Masse's actual response to the plea of those who stated TERA's outstanding flaws at the time.
Now, now, I know what you're all thinking.
"Who are you and why should we care again?"

Well, I don't expect anyone to care, this post isn't about me.
It's about all the positive changes TERA has been making and my feelings as a player who felt TERA, in all its hype, had been lost upon release.

It's about how I, the most critical part of TERA as an MMORPG, a player, will be making a return thanks to the effort En Masse has made to acknowledge those who left and why.

We said:

- The game is incredibly bugged. Glitches are everywhere - we need fixes!
- There are too many servers. The community is spread too thin - we need a merge!
- TERA is a great game, but the MMO market has changed - we should not have to pay!

I was one of those people.

And now:

The game, once riddled with bugs and glitches, has made major improvement since release.
The servers have been merged at our request. No more ghost-town zones!
The game goes F2P with an ACTUALLY fair payment model for those who want the extra perks!

I can't wait to return to my friends who still play,
they're just as excited as I am that I'm returning.
The best part is, now my friends who did not want to play due to the payment model can join us too. ^^
What is it like on the EU Servers?
Can't be anything worse than the NA servers.

There are at least a couple hundred online at one time on a good day,
but servers like Serpentis Isle are usually barren and empty everywhere you look. (besides endgame.)

You'll find the odd 1 or 2 people every 15 minutes on more populated servers such as Dragonfall and Valley of Titans, but queue times are still quite lengthy.
To be honest, these are all pretty "Meh" complaints.
Priests are NOT able to DPS more than an Archer...

Priests have a stronger burst combo, but that's all they have in terms of DPS at all.
Archers can burst and sustain with a wider variety of crowd control.

Priests have multiple ways of healing, so even if your team is spread out,
there are enough methods of pulling it off no problem.

What does this have to do with Tera?


QFT. So you enjoy the good aspects of TERA.
Congratulations, we all do.

But they're hardly anything to celebrate over.
it had potential.

En Masse had all the pieces they need.
All that was left is for them was to put them in the right places.

Unfortunately, they fell for every MMO Developers death trap possible.
If TERA has any potential left, it was snuffed out.

Geez, if you don't like the game then leave please. Everyone who is supporting the game is still here. The people who just QQ all the time should go find another game to complain about everything in bc we all know you will.



If you can't realize that layoffs are expected after a game launch then you have no head for business and shouldn't comment.


Amen!

This is a roaving committee of morons that hop from game to game, thread to thread - that always fall short from end game goals, and blame it on whatever the excuse of the day is.

I can't wait 'til GW2 is released. Not because I want to play it, but because these forums will finally be rid of the plague - and the game won't even suffer with their absence. Because they don't play. They just troll forums.

Watch for Gallus, Skillmare, and Furor on the GW2 boards - they will have the absolute answers to fix that game also in a month.


Not sure if serious...

In the event that you are, this is constructive criticism, not... whatever you just said.
Those 3 people (whoever they are) haven't even posted in this thread.

A fanboy is someone who does not recognize flaws and will stand behind a game even when its shortcomings stick out like a sore thumb. TERA's does, and if they aren't addressed I'm afraid TERA will be nothing but fanboys.
