I doubt I'll ever pay subs for a game again, it just makes you feel like you have to play all the time to get your monies worth. Maybe that's just me.![]()

So I eventually got the client for the EU Open Beta event and the combat was surprisingly very fluent for our latency. Even did a few duels and won the majority, excluding the ones where my opponent was double my level.
I'll probably see how far I can go in the Open Beta, but so far I'm not yet disappointed.
From what I have gathered the two things that Tera has going for it is the combat and the end game political system, every else is very much korean; grinding, barely clothed women, boring quests, more grinding, women with even fewer clothes...![]()


That.
And I'm really iffy on the combat - it has it's plusses and minuses, but I'll stick with targeting. If I want to get a test of my aiming skills, I'll play an FPS. And as much as they brag about how the combat flows - well, if you're a spellcaster you'll work out for yourself pretty quickly that it's not strictly true. I've yet to cast any kind of spell while moving - combat kind of goes like this with my mystic - toss a couple of my basic attacks his way, standing still for each shot, wait for critter to get close, AoE, wait for him to transmit his big attack, trot sideways, stop and cast again. Kinda meh, in my book.
Oh, and the third thing it (possibly) has going for it is the ongoing debate about how much of a pedo you'll be if you play an Elin character![]()




Elin Slayers are epic - I keep getting lolz from this tiny thing whipping out this mother of a sword and clobbering things with it.
It's all a moot point though - my belief is that the people who take such issue with it need to take a long hard look at themselves to discover the root of the problem. Me - I just play the damn game.
Oh ... Character Customization - that's another one of my gripes with the game. It's insanely limited for somethign releasing in this day and age.
Sup dudes, so release this week, really keen to start playing, but 20+ gig download on 1mb takes a while, anyone in the Cape Town area I can get the client from?
