What went wrong? I thought it was supposed to save MMOs
TERA
they killed Alliance, and got rid of WPVP.
Advertised as an action game without tab targeting. Then as you start playing it you realize that it is the same shit as tab targeting, the only difference is that you have a crosshair that does it for you. Also completely antiquated UX at this point.
Is there a way that a TERA Classic could ever work?
I don't feel like there would be any real way to monetize it. No one's going to pay a monthly subscription fee for it and microtransactions would just be a trainwreck.
Maybe as Buy2Play or an annual subscription?
BHS got sued twice, fucking over development. It's a miracle the game even came out. And then BHS made retarded decisions, and their NA publisher manages to be dumb, out of touch, and borderline tech illiterate.
Korean MMOs are the epitome of "wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle"
It did for about a year. TERA to this day had the highest skill ceiling PvP and PvE in any MMORPG, but gamers don't want that. Money talks, ESPECIALLY for Asian companies who literally don't give a fuck about making their players spend $100 to unlock a hat. TERA got casualized for being too hard pretty early on, then it added a bunch of new classes, each one having less than half the number of skills as any of the original classes to cater to casuals and normalfags that don't want a challenge or anything complicated. It just kept going downhill like that until it turned into whatever the fuck it is right now. I hope they at least salvage elins and make a TERA 2.
>they at least salvage elins and make a TERA 2.
Considering how AiR (or is that already practically vaporware?) doesn't even mention the only thing that saved TERA financially, I think BHS is continuing their trend of mostly being retarded.
Waifufags.
Elins and sluttery in general are the only reason TERA didn't die within two years.
I'll pay the stupid money for a hat if the game was good.
Is decent combat and customization so hard to have together?
gameforge released one just a few weeks ago didn't they?
The usual problem of MMOs being incredibly shallow to appeal to grind addicts and ERPers.
That's the topic that brings up the question.
They did it, but they refused to commit to it. The server only lasted 2 months, and then everyone's characters were transferred into modern servers, which defeats the purpose.
I'm talking a long term, sustainable classic server.
they deleted fwc
i'm still depressed
I also miss valkyrie a lot.
when I look at pvp clips my heart wells with pain and nostalgia.
man you didn't even play the game
And yet he's not wrong
They also chose a shit patch, who the fuck wants to play with Relic Weapons and nerfed BAMs. I played it and was disgusted it was the fucking Wonderholme patch. Bring back ACHM and MCHM and I will play it for years.
Fuck tera. We A:IR now!
If there's anything fun in a videogame you can trust a korean/chinese developer to ruin it.
He is wrong though.
>No Elins
Worthless game.
tab target is fundamentally different and the various combat mechanics don't really come into play in other mmos compared to tera, if they even exist. like staggers and knockdowns. doing combos and doing good dps in pve is on a completely different level compared to tab target.
>no elins
>combat is tab targeting
>the trailer's frame rate is choppy
>still using UE3
>no elins
Jesus, how can they be so dumb?
God I want to impregnate an Elin.
>steal everything that makes the game good
>turns out the company that steals doesn't know how to make a game
It's an alright combat system with no fucking content and typical gook shit. There's just nothing to even do in it and the only people left playing it are actual discord trannies.
also positioning in tera is orders of magtnitude more important than in any tab target games I've played because you have to aim for the back of enemies and keep players off of your back too.
they did remove this from pvp this year though, when they deleted fwc....... just kill me now bros
>no elins
GOOD
The thai beta is going on right now. People are liking it. Tera gonna get shut down to make way for A:IR soon.
A:IR sucks ass, same type of dog shit as bless was
>getting rid of everything that made TERA even alive
Combine that it's going to be published by the scumfucks who turned BDO into pay2win, it's gonna be a stillborn abortion.
If Nexon took the combat and dungeon/raid progression bullshit out of Maplestory 2 and copied Animal Crossing it wouldnt have lost 99% of its playerbase. The aesthetic, music and user generated content systems are fucking wasted on this game. All this cool stuff trapped in a terrible korean grinder
It's nothing like bless online. I know It's going to be the final nail in tera's coffin but please try to control your bitterness.
>the scumfucks who turned BDO into pay2win
Looking forward to when pearl abyss becomes their own publisher in korea and reveals they were behind the p2w all along.
I know you're posting these thinking they're cool gameplay examples but anybody who's played this piece of shit knows it's the same combo every single time for each class
WPvP is still active in most zones ever since the Lv 70 update if you're on a PvP server, it's fun to kill 6-7 people that are standing around after a guardian mission ends
I still feel retarded when it comes to pvp, I know my openers and how to dodge/block, but I just feel like my aim is terrible sometimes.
I'm beyond bitter at this point, watching BHS and EME bungle TERA for years does that to you. Hell, it's been a year since I've played. Anyone who thinks AiR will be good is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
weakest bait
I'm just posting them because I have them, any cool webms I have are too big because they're made for discord, can't even post them here
Tera was built off the back of stolen code and assets so it's really only getting karmic justice. They even stole assets from bless of all things.
Got a few good elin doujins so it served it's purpose imo
Again, my point stands. BHS is full of incompetents, and it's miracle they managed to produce something that had the bones to become something decent.
Let's see your gameplay videos.
tfw no more fwc
i'd love to see Black Desert actually do something with its combat system, the invididual actions themselves weave together fluidly and it feels real good to play when you're adequately geared and have great ping. That said, the obvious lack of any kind of interesting combat encounters is a huge detriment toward my enjoyment of the game.
If they just made some instanced boss fight arenas with tight mechanics and great hitboxes, Black Desert has the potential to be Vindictus 2.0 in that regard, and that would be incredible.
I haven't had as much fun in an multiplayer action game as I did in the heydays of Vindictus around the time season 1 came close to completion and the big guy with the pillars came out. Fighting stuff like Irukul, where a couple players used their chains to hold the thing in place while the others slashed it or ingkells who required precise dodge timings and punished you for messing up
For anyone interested in Vindictus I heartly recommed checking it out preferrably with someone else to play but solo is fine too.
They streamlined season 1 incredibly so it's maybe a great 15-20 hours of fun, quest dialogue is also partly skippable now, since that was always a huge complaint for people leveling twinks
It's not bait, it's truth. Pearl abyss is taking over publisher duties for every region except NA and EU, I'm pretty sure. Soon their true form will be revealed.
you're implying the game isn't dog shit which is a lie
I never said anything about the game being good or bad, just that pearl abyss will soon remove their mask and reveal themselves to be greedy gook kikes.
>Salvage elins
Spotted the pedo. Kys fag.
I just made a female elf warrior to try this game for the first time, now what
god bless asanagi, saint of thighs
Is Vindictus grind really that bad?
It's fucking korean. When the hell will you retards learn that anything that comes out of that shithole exists solely to fleece people of their money while providing the bare minimum in true entertainment value? Seriously, how many times do you have to get burned from the fire before you stop sticking your hand in it?
I tried it a very long time ago and yes it was bad, because you're forced to repeat levels over and over.
tera was good for most of its run
I actually enjoyed the zones in this game. A shame you don't see anyone in this game anyone outside of the main hubs and vanguard quests. Also the lore is dead, which sucks.
it's never been that bad looking
That ain't no Asanagi, bub.
Did mojarin stop making porn or what?
his releases are just wani'd
The fact that you need a supercomputer to get a stable 30 fps in populated areas.
One of the big things that attracted me to TERA was the open world. I love mmo's with worlds where I can walk from one end of a continent to another without loading screens. And TERA had fucking comfy environments to grind in.
based
Game lost most of the playerbase and merged servers
Focused on lolis and gender or race locked new classes
Changed the entire crafting and resource gathering system making older gear and materials useless
Changed tutorial area for no reason
Solo dungeons
EZ mode until max level
Guilds were pretty much harem rpers
Loved this game back then but every update after console release has been horrible
The best period in TERA was before it went f2p.
Here's a how life works: if a game goes f2p it's not worth playing.
levelling back when it was kind of challenging was pretty comfy
Tihs, f2p models just don't work in MMOs.
Tera was fucking neat and it would be nice if a developer could expand on it (with way better optimization).
Same with Blade & Soul, which I assume died because the general also vanished.
It was never THAT bad since you actually got something incredibly valuable from repeating stages, which is ability points to spend on upgrading your skills like dodge for more iframes or to equip better armor/weapons
As I said in my previous comment it's now incredibly streamlined and you just breeze through the season 1 content at a nervewracking rate, where it used to be easily 60-70 hours of play now it's maybe 10-20, which isn't terrible I suppose, seeing as the player numbers are ever dwindling and it's hard to find people for raid bosses you inevitably have to solo them (which is quite possible, mind you)
So much this. I love the enviroments of Tera, it's sad that no one cares about them. The last thing i heard is that they added some fishing zones in those areas, so it's not that bad.
I always try to level by grinding. I hate the modern trend of queuing up for dungeons, and spamming them to level. I always did like Sinestral Manor though.
>wheres wootle
>remember that guys erp shenanigans
ah the good ol days
TERA has this nice combo of things that I enjoy. Great combat system, crazy Korean kitchen sink western fantasy, open worlds with pretty environments, loli catgirls, and super handsome men
>Remember playing Tera back before the BAM nerf, because a youtuber I watched at the time did a series of solo vids about them
>A couple years ago played again because Ninja had hit
>Explore up to those original level 50 areas
>They're flat out fucking barren wastelands now, not even quests to do
>what went wrong
the guro doujin
Don't forget the equipment remodeler service that was changed to a shitty fashion coupon model
with a limited variety of armors and weapons.
Combat will never be good in an MMO. So what you should do is focus on the world, the atmosphere, team dynamism and cooperation etc, and implement combat that compliments those things instead of trying to make 'good' action combat that isn't actually very good while forsaking all of the other elements
Basically the genre went to shit when the internet stopped being novel and comfy grinding games no longer acted as one of the best chat rooms/ways to meet people online
that was the moment I realized evil controls the world
Tera's combat is/was fantastic
>make a fantasy world
>put modern fashion in it
This always looks so fucking stupid jesus fuck. Why do people do this? Do they know they look retarded? This shit is everywhere in XIV too
That was when I realized that EME was run by incompetents. And they somehow managed to make dumber and dumber decisions as the years went by.
Same. It was pretty fun while it lasted, i'm glad Tera wasn't dead on arrival, people made some good memories there.
I returned last year to check how things were going. Just like you said, a barren wasteland. Depressing as fuck.
you haven't seen the car mounts and the cat suits
When I reroll, I hope I end up in the universe where a fully realized TERA happens, and it's managed well.
>Tera and B&S
>Not good combat
That said, MMOs do need a greater lore focus again.
it's all about how it feels in the game and it feels fine
Thank you, webm poster.
I was thinking of playing this game for a while now, and now I know for sure that it's boring as shit.
>tfw remember spending one night going full metal gear and spying on wootles erp
i just want a classic server
the classic server EME memed had the reaper patch for fucks sake
>Race locked classes
>Gender locked clases
>Race AND gender locked classes
Yeah, nah, fuck off cunt. Nothing screams "brawler" like female humans, right? Amani, male or female? Nope, male human? Nope. Stone fucking giants? Nope, female human only.
>amani
they forgot this race exists
>Tonberry
Hey I remember you. I only played for a little while though.
everything hat could go wrong did go wrong
ITT: Bitter homos thinking one game is an exception. Face it, all mmo are the same. You all start to hate it after a year, no matter what the devs do. Even wow isn't exempt from this.
it's really not boring but no problem bud
Literally the only race I played, this game wasn't even bad, it was just handled like shit and had no population to speak of. I still have my special edition that I bought on 2011, but I doubt I'll ever touch it again. Every single class being locked to female human and Elin is beyond retarded. Elin I at least get, they're what's keeping the lights on, but fucking humans? Could have at least went Castanic or Amani, you know, females that are actually pleasant to look at and not the most generic shit imaginable.
>TERA to this day had the highest skill ceiling PvP and PvE
As a TERA PvPer, I disagree wholeheartedly. B&S and Aion have always had higher skill ceilings.
You're right about the PvE though, at least mechanically speaking.
To be fair they did add male humans brawlers.
tera's pvp was the most fun though right
I was surprised when they made brawlers exclusive to humans. Castanic is probably the second most popular race after the Elins. The devs are severely retarded
What game
ragnarok but that gif does not represent the game
Their priorities were really weird. I can't remember if elf females ranked in comparison to human females. I think it was elin > castanic > elf >/= human >>>>> amani when it came to most played females.
if you call mashing left button hoping to survive fun
what was bound to left button?
What's Tera's population like now? I really liked the game aside from the WoW themepark structure.
who cares they deleted fwc
fuck no
>same combos everytime
>healers are punching bags
>giga
>instant stuns galore
>no neutral game
>every new class turned the pvp into a bigger aoe clusterfuck
mad cuz bad
wow the same zergfest barebones map used for years (that nobody sane played for good reason) got deleted, move on to different games already
it's a playercount desert with fleeting casual players barely able to function while stockholm syndrome trannies afk all day everyday showing off their $80+ gacha outfits to nobody in particular
hope you die idiot
>dekkai
oh shit my man
those practice runs were good times
Playing the beta was one of my favorite MMO experiences. Got bored leveling in the actual game though.
>it's a playercount desert with fleeting casual players barely able to function while stockholm syndrome trannies afk all day everyday showing off their $80+ gacha outfits to nobody in particular
This is so depressing. I just looked at steam charts and in 2015 Tera had 10k average users and now it's down to 1k. Fuck. It's over.
WoW formula
doesn't account for non-steam players but like how many people do you need?
not that you should play it, they deleted fwc after all...........
There should've been more. Much much more.
Some of the most fun I've had in PvE in an MMO. I miss TERA's PvE so much.
Whatever happened to the private server caali was working on? Dead?
Don't get why this is a complaint against tera when every single MMORPG is guilty of it
hell xiv monk do the exact same combos from lvl 1 to 63
That's Mojarin, you uncultured swine
I miss this game so much.
Now it can't even keep a /vg/ general alive anymore.
Why is human imagination superior to reality? Why don't Elin exist and why can't I fuck them?
One of the best mmorpgs I've ever played, love the action combat.
They haven't been adding much content over the last couple of years though, probably cause of pubg.
As a new player there is a lot to do and it's amazingly well made though.
Just make a general on Yea Forums and keep it bumped.
XIV does it and the mods don't care.
While I enjoyed the hell out of Tera's combat and classes, always lamented how empty and almost pointless a lot of the open world was; one little camp that you teleported to and a few scattered quests. At least compared to my previous MMORPG. Kept thinking tera could've been better if they fixed that up.
Fast forward to modern age and 'one empty zone with plenty of teleports and two camps is now the modern MMORPG standard. Sad times.
People like you are why they make smaller worlds, fuck off.
Baraka pride worldwide!
We'll be able to fuck Elin once we die if we devote ourselves to jacking off to them as much as possible now.
I like how the game masters on Tera don't give a fuck, the SJW GMs on xiv are trash and ban you for anything.
This game has the best female mods in any mmo hands down.
What was your IGN and server?
There's no difference between a smaller world and a larger one if they're both devoid of content.
The secret to MMORPGS, don't do server merges.
The world is the content.
Do mods still work, haven't played for a while.
Also have they added any kind of proper housing yet? I know they added fishing.
What happened to Kusunoki?
How can I join and ERP with cut Elins?
yeah that sums it up.
What are you even talking about?
>it's not a complaint because lots of devs do it
me in the front row 4th from the left
tera's combat isn't like that regardless, the rotations are much more situational than other mmos
The only MMO that I've seen do this right has been DFO, It stop being a liability when you come back and add the other genderbent version of the class with a different twist to how they play.
Biggest complaint with this game is they have too many companies running it on separate servers.
It really was. Makes me sad that the game went to shit completely. Early tera/CBT is still some of the most fun ive ever had in a vidya.
Still better than most honestly.
F2P went wrong and the start of the destruction of the game's soul and lore.
You can't go anywhere without seeing soccerball mounts and police cars now. The universe is fucked and the game is held up by erp whales that don't pay enough for the game to get anywhere but rehashed. content that was taken from the unused cut content. Every boss you see today except for a few new ones has been in the game since the start.
I haven’t really heard about this game until now, but damnit these two images alone make me want to play it
lmao that shit is fucking removed dude. They love deleting content.
its completely static combat with barely any decision making
>stunned=wait to not be stunned
>knocked down=spot wake or dont
>staggered=try not to get staggered again
and the PvE is even worse, if you can full combo there's no reason not to and there aren't any variables to beg the question. It's so boring everybody quit lol
It's generally a very nice looking game
The game had some really pretty zones.
(you)
This. It's the only MMO I've played where I had fun just riding around, exploring places. The atmosphere was amazing.
God I want to rape an Elin.
Best exploring and mountain climbing in any MMO, you could go pretty much anywhere.
yes very good assmosphere
they know kung fu
p2p games are the same
>Depressing as fuck.
That's putting it lightly. Seeing those places, once filled by hundreds of players, now completely deserted and forgotten, the quests removed, was sickening.
Whats the best way to make gold, playing casually and solo. Not doing dungeons
pantyshot simulators are never going to do well in the west. sorry weebfags.
Are lonely irl or something? Zones are only filled with players when the game launches and everyone is at the same level and all at the same point.
Every mmorpg running has empty zones you pleb.
It literally did do well, it's been running for 8 years now.
>Every mmorpg running has empty zones you pleb
That means the game is dead, dude, and has no new players.
>No UI element except for Edgy saying "Negro"
got a good chuckle out of me
Fine. I want to sensually fuck an Elin repeatedly for breeding purposes.
I downloaded it a long time ago to play the loli race. This game still exists?
No it means people are all staggered in levels so no one zone is full of people all at the same point in the leveling race.
I never understood why the elins get all the attention, the other female races are far better.
"Empty zones" suddenly turned to "not full of people". Ok.
Glad the game is still around, they would never make anything as lewd as this or blade and soul again.
I love thighs and I love short girls. Throw them together with animal ears/tail and it's basically heaven.
Zones aren't empty, I played it last week.
There are people in pretty much all of them, just it's not like at launch where everyone was the same level.
because tera is played by closet pedos
God man, Tera was some of the most fun I've had in an MMO in a long while. Picked it up with a friend in late 2013 I think and played for a good solid two years. Combat was great and the world was so fun to explore. It was one of those few times where it installed that sense of wonder in you I guess. Dropping into the Island of Dawn for the first time, seeing some of the unused space there and wondering if anything had ever been there before, which was a total possibility considering it ended up just getting removed anyway. Did any of you ever explore some of the unused zones? There were a few areas where you could get out of bounds and just run wild.
Same as every other mmorpg then?
Played beta and a little bit after. Made a popori grafics cat. Was fun for a little while.
is the intro still a fucking slow as slog, the island with the dreaming kids or someshit
i always try to get back into tera but the slow intro i can't skip just stops me from going further
iT IS.
You can get past the first island in an hour or so.
FUCK
THE INTRO THEY MADE BEFORE IT WAS JUST FINE, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT SHIT
I hate how mobile games took the place of mmorpgs, sad times.
How do Koreans/Chinks figure out the worst possible mish mash of disgusting styles into an MMO?
These screens/webms are vomit inducing.
>sjw homo
>tfw they fixed the slowmo bug
tera was fucking garbage
"true" action combat yet barely a step above tab targeting
did they? that sucks, I didn't get to see all of the awakening skills in slowmo
mad cuz bad
Nah it really is among the best mmorpgs, only problem is the new content isn't coming very fast anymore
>Zones aren't empty, I played it last week.
Yes, they are, because all the content was removed from them, like Lumbertown. Why would people play in places that have nothing left to do?
>didnt play the eu version because gameforge
>didnt play the na version because 200 ping
>will never play either because theyre both dead
very glad mojarin played it though
Lumbertown was removed from the leveling path, no reason to go there.
It's an open world mmorpg, what do you want there a fucking merry go round?
You go there to explore around, every part of every zone doesn't need an attraction.
All mmorpgs have instanced dungeons.
The broken new classes ruined the whole shit.
>every attack is an unavoidable ranged multi-hit AOE
>virtually unlimited blocking
>repeatable dodges with a shit ton of i-frames
>skills to close long distances in an instant
>passive abilities that prevent KO
Hell, tab-targeting systems require more thought than Tera today.
I spent so much money on this game back in the day, when it still had a subscription.
Always wanted to play this before, but god damn even with a decent machine, it still ran like garbage. Hell my machine right now still cant get stable 30 in some areas.
Runs fine, only place I've seen fps dip down that low is in crowded cities and you aren't fighting there so who gives a fuck.
That's the point, Einstein. 80% of the world was "removed from the leveling path", which leaves it fucking empty and dead.
>You go there to explore around, every part of every zone doesn't need an attraction.
I guess you enjoy doing nothing by yourself, but I preferred it when those places had quests and players.
>GORGEOUS aesthetic
>fun, tight combat
>great community, met most of my closest friends here
>amazing modding scene
>base game managed by fucking IDIOTS who took every opportunity they could to ruin their own property
Why'd it have to go down like this?
TERA IS DEAD TO ME
FUCK YOU BHS
WON'T EVEN GIVE ARGON QUEEN AS GUARDIAN LEGION
not true at all you just gave up
The link fell out. Meant to quote this
Humanity must make it a joint effort from all nations to breed the Elin body type.
I lost interest in PvP when reaper came out. Made one out of curiosity and then went to Corsair. I had around 30 kills and 40 assists in a match without even trying, when the older classes had around 5 kills or so each. It was ridiculous.
Thought I'd check it out again when Brawler came out, but fucking no one would que for battlegrounds anymore. And the class is literally invincible in PvE. You can fucking solo dungeons on your own.
there was lots of fun to be had regardless of imbalances
No it wasn't.
I remember taking part in this. Was fun while it lasted.
Not really. When everyone's jumped ship for that OP new fanservice class with world-breaking attacks, it stops being about skill, and becomes purely a contest of gear. Like tab-targeting games. Then you just farm points to upgrade your shit until you can go back to curbstomping everyone else. Not exactly fun.
There's no way they don't make a TERA 2, right? This was honestly the best MMO I've ever played. I remember actually needing a party to kill leveling BAMs because they were strong as fuck and took actual skill to beat. It was the last time in an MMO where leveling was a challenge, nowadays you just 1 shot EVERY single mob, even leveling bosses.
Why the fuck did the company change their name from BHS to KRAFTON?
TERA's still pretty fun.
Just would be nice if they stopped trying to make the game worse.
>open thread
>someone posted like 6 years old pictures of your elin
why
hard to scam people twice when they know your name lol
It was casualized immensely. Once Reaper/Wonderholme came out it was literally all downhill from there. That was the EXACT point it started going downhill. Would be perfect if we had classic servers pre-wonderholme where you could spend a week doing nothing but quests and still not be level 60
nobody's talking about the manifesto, or the time they had to remove chat because of exploits, or the fact that some exploits are still in the game to this day.
I really want to like this beautiful piece of shit but I just can't. Also I've heard things are even worse now, and there's this completely retarded player council that causes the game to get drastically worse
bluehole is still the name they are known as for tera, just they made a parent company. they are a huge company now, they made billions off of pubg.
again, you gave up. you don't even know.
KRAFTON is their parent company
Name ONE reason why they should invest MILLIONS into making a shitty MMO in a market where no one even plays MMOs anymore when they already know that their cheap asset flip that is PUBG made them 100x times the money
Player council is actually a great idea, the problem is they have almost no interaction with the developers. That's a publisher thing.
the charm is already gone, they killed it and I can't go back until they make a brand new game regardless of how much I love elins
you realize all that was already way past when the game was going downhill with retarded new classes and shit? fucking newfag
I love mojarin's elins. They look so soft and plump.
what are you going to do about it
They made their biggest player council member a janitor on their forums. He unironically does it for free and takes his job VERY seriously. Rather than actually talk to their community, Enmasse Entertainment has pushed the job of communication onto unpaid volunteers. Their 'community manager' hasn't said a word to the community in ages.
The exploits and the manifesto and the modding came about as a result of the publisher/developer refusing to listen to the players. That problem persists to this day.
>I remember actually needing a party to kill leveling BAMs because they were strong as fuck and took actual skill to beat
Back in the day, I joined a party of three others to take down those fangspawns in Pora Elinu. We wiped about 6 times when the tank kept missing the timing for the bleed attack. There were no flashy circles to show the timing or range. We spent hours sitting there, discussing strategy around a campfire, gathering our savings to buy charms, and it was fucking fun. We finally got all the BAMs when a healer joined up, and it really felt like an achievement.
Now, even campfires are removed.
It got nothing on Wildstar Pve wise. Those raids broke many guilds and it was common for raidgroups to spend weeks on one boss alone first time around. A shame it had to die due to poor management.
>tfw no femani brawler
imagine if they had exclusive costumes with bulges haha
>There were no flashy circles to show the timing or range
>campfires
So many people will never know this feel. I don't even know another MMO where you could literally set up a campfire with your party and strategize/buff up before fighting a giant monster out in the open field.
They have no intention of making Tera 2 because Tera is still making a lot of money and also, aside from anything else there is no fucking way a game like that would ever be allowed to be released in the west now anyway.
Way too much fan-service, even Steam bans games that try to add some loli. Not gonna happen. Pretty much every lewd mmorpg you see today would never be launched in the current culture we have. No Tera, Blade and Soul or even FFXIV. FFXIV has been toning down the sexy outfits a lot in all recent patches too. It's sad how things are going.
I try to support all the mmorpgs like that, I buy outfits and shit every now and then just to try keep them going. Cause once they are gone they will never be replaced.
Fucking feminists.
Feminists don't want to take your titty games awa.......
My experience:
>play the game since its launch in EU
>play as Berserker
>enjoy the content from start to end game at the time even though was a slog
>in the end game dungeon nobody wants Berserkers because they had "shitty dps"
>struggle to win any PVP until the very last level because they have no chance to close gaps or answer to aggression with some fast attack
>realize that vanilla endgame is just grinding daily quest for some meager equipment that is barely an improvement to the Rebirth set.
loved the game, hated the execution.
learn to read
>tfw you remember when Tera was a hard game
>Now, even campfires are removed.
I'll never understand why they did this. Even if they don't want the weird buffs in the game they were comfy as fuck.
berserker got so many buffs over the years
started out rough and evolved into the legendary god killer
>I don't even know another MMO where you could literally set up a campfire with your party and strategize/buff up before fighting a giant monster out in the open field.
mabinogi
>tfw fighting the giant alligator with your guild for the first time and getting wrecked but still barely defeating it
why are games so fucking soulless now..
filling your game with easily pleased pedos makes real people not want to play, while all resources are diverted to making pedo outfits instead of actually making a game. it's a perfectly fine business model since pedos drop literal thousands of dollars on it, but it doesn't make a good actual game
evil controls the world
>removed queen
>removed remodelling
>removed campfires
>removed fwc
literally evil is winning
I miss old mabi.
But I am glad I got to experience it in its prime.
Yeah i know, i played a bit once the game got on Steam for a while, every skill got so much quicker compared to how they were before the buffs.
>saying pedo three times
have sex
>calling things what they are is bad now
ok liberal
why are you so pathetic, it's just a game
god same dude, I'd give anything to go back when it was a fresh game and play it for the first time
I just wish a new game would come out and give me a similar feeling
god I hope peria is decent
libs would be the ones crying about pedos tho
t. pedophile
>hope
abandon it
you're the one talking about sexuality
libs are the ones too delusional to call things what they are, like you
Campfires were the shit. So many kinds and they just removed them all.
>american education
Honestly all fucking devcat has to do is make an updated mabi. Newer graphics, new engine, but keep the core gameplay and shit.
The average PC was too shit to play this well when it released
this game has a ton of smut
why aren't you posting any
>autistic pedos keep a shit game afloat by spending thousands on sexual outfits for children
>they get upset when you point this out
why?
Can you guys take your political shit back to /pol/ please

post butts instead

I miss my bandaid-nose zerker
Nice pedo game

majority of the people are playing for the gameplay.
maybe someday
nobody cares lol

pick any day at any time, this is what is happening
Man I don't give a shit. With /terag/ gone, this is the first time all week that I've seen actual discussion about this game. The official forums are fucked. The reddit is shit. This is all I have. Please don't turn it into /pol/shit.
>male humans can be brawlers
Yeah ok, makes sense
>Elin can be brawlers
Average korean pandering shit
>Popori can be brawlers
fuck off
Me on the left.
>/terag/ gone
hallelujah
post more soft elin thighs
Go look in Crescentia dude, tons of new players there
I was interested in this game when I saw the developer. But having no Elins is a massive turnoff.
I'll take the purple haired one.
vindictus
Not everyone is an apologetic drone. You just probably erp nonstop and idle by walls.
good
get fucked faggot
tits could be bigger though
i played around late 2012-early 2013 and was saddened what the game had become after checking in later. but the thing i was absolutely mad was that they removed elin teleport masters, and replaced them with fucking stones
>Lumbertown bridge filled with people
I went back recently and this place was completely empty with the ocassional 2 people. NFA was dead too.
woah.. castanic look like THIS?
bigger
this one isn't cute though, sorry
>locking classes for a specific race or gender
yeah no fuck that
different folks different dick strokes
still not cute but much sexier without the jpeg artifacts
no clue why that ended up the way it did
wonders of mobile clients i guess

Gender locked classes. And most of the time, it's female. Fuck that.
>female, fuck that
yes thats the idea
You should get the business suit costume.
that's not me bud it's a slut i saved from a general ages ago
>region locked on steam
this thread makes me happy
Elins make me happy.
what game?
Remind me again because it's been a while, but do enemies in Tera have auto-attacks?
custom maid
I didnt like tera because the gameplay feels unresponsive
too many animation locks during combat

THEY KNOW

For me it was the Visionmaker grind. The game operates in cycles where one year, the best gear is obtained through the latest dungeon. This gear set has the best stats and offers a great set effect, and the only requirement to get the set is the clear the dungeon and roll on the equipment.
The next year, they introduce the next tier of Visionmaker and then it all goes downhill. Visionmaker is an armor set that is a direct upgrade from the best dungeon equipment. But to get it, you must first craft the first tier of VM and then upgrade it progressively from each tier, with every step requiring its own laundry list of materials. These materials are arduous to farm and are often time-gated, for example a piece of VM armor might need 200 feathers/scales, and the dungeons that have a chance to drop them are limited to 4 instances per character a day. Visionmaker is designed to keep people from quitting after new dungeon releases, by introducing an autistic fucking grind with the reward being powercreeped gear. What's worse is there are two types of VM gear, PVE and PVP. Many players have both sets. During the VM year, people who aren't willing to make that autistic grind for VM gear will get their shit pushed in in both PVP and PVE by autists who've grinded VM since its conception and kept up the grind until current day. Because there is literally no alternative BiS besides VM.
And so the cycle continues. New content. Hype. New Visionmaker. Quit.
Visionmaker hasnt been around for a year and half or something
I think I played this for about half an hour, realized it didn't have any real talent tree to speak off, and uninstalled it.
That's good to hear, but it's too little too late for me. I basically lost all my motivation after they introduced another VM tier after Bathysmal Rise released. During that time, it felt amazing to play with friends and old guildmates that came back just to check out the patch, dungeon erryday and gear back up. Then it instantly became unfun as soon as new VM dropped and the autists who were still using VM during that time instantly shot back up to powercreep levels after hoarding dungeon mats for months, knowing they didn't need dungeon gear since they could just sell it to fund their broken ass VM gear.
sad
Well gear has been stuck on the same tier for a while. Instead theyre adding a billion other ways to grind other things basically turning the game in BDO slowly. Theres crafting revamp, fishing and cooking, awakening, EP talents, a partner system where you merge pets and level them up and a new level cap that has a absurd amount of grind where you can upgrade skills for a cost and another massive grind and 2 new gear slots.
>It was never THAT bad
Don't lie now, user. 1/800 dragon tear droprate. Raid can be done only three times a week + once a day.
WHERE IS IT FAG
This. This mmo needs to make a comeback for the sole purpose of more porn
I played it on console from launch up until about a month ago. They added way too much unnecessary bullshit to just get to the next dungeon (in terms of having appropriate ilvl and whatnot) and everyone in my guild quit. I hear the PC version has dealt with this shit far longer, but man I can't imagine it having anyone players after playing that really nice, simple version of the game.
more castanic porn*
Basically every Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese MMO company has switched to making phone games now. It's sad. I see 'new game from (studio that made MMOs in the past!)' on my news feed and my heart races in excitement, but then I open the article and it's a phone game.
Not sure we have anyone to blame but ourselves. People won't pay for a subscription but they'll pay way more than that per month to roll on some gachashit that costs 50x less to create. It's no wonder.
kys pedo
No TERA 2, sad.
I’m all for that too, but not making more porn of Elin is a crime against humanity
That's not true at all. Nexon still makes (usually pretty solid) MMOs. They just either never make it out of korea because mmos aren't profitable anywhere else, or they die because they were a shit idea. See: Ascendant one. MOBA based on greek gods turned into koreaboo anime waifus and chad thundercocks. Really fun game, but it has no place existing. in the AoS category they publish dota 2 in korea, they publish battlerite in korea, they own cyphers and it's up there for popularity, well beating smite in the 3rd person category.
Chinese MMOs are a misnomer, they didn't exist until a few years ago unless you count asset stop 'n' swops are mmos I guess. Moonlight blade is a very VERY popular action based game that's due for a western release for some god-forsaken reason this year. Chinese devs are working side by side with nexon and tencent to work on a slew of new games, at least 10 slated for release in chinese territories and taiwan if they do well.
Phone games are starting to show signs of falloff and companies are realizing it. Netmarble has been in talks of purchasing majority Nexon shares from the CEO to re-establish their PC market since they closed up shop for some reason to chase after mobile, only to have EVERY SINGLE ONE of their games besides future fight fail miserably after it's opening 2 months. If you want a laugh, look at their investor reports sometimes. tens of millions of dollars thrown in the garbage to develop some stupid piece of shit irrelephant FPS for mobile, but future fight saved their asses from being in the red so everyone ignores it.
>tricked into giving sauce
heh, nothin personnell, champ
You're entirely right about taiwanese devs though, but that's because they still get people playing and paying for their old perfect world/cabal/whatever clones. Why make a new one? Snailgames if you were talking about shit like age of wushu, still exist as well, but they're making a mobile port of age of wushu because they've milked their market dry and have 0 originality.
The only way to save MMOs is to kill them.
They're not making Age of Wushu 2?
age of wushu 2 came out and failed already, they're mad that people didn't pay thousands of dollars into it, ignoring that age of wushu 1 had a slow roll too. They've basically said "the west didn't like our last game so you don't get age of wushu 2", and now they're making a mobile version, hoping it will fix their problems (It won't, it never does).
MMOs are in a precarious spot right now and a delicate balance has to be taken. Nexon is like the golden child for figuring what to do, and what not to do in mmo development, ESPECIALLY f2p mmo development. They spent most of the 2010s shitting out dozens of games a year, bad idea, almost none stuck, and if I asked you, you'd probably have a hard time thinking of a single one (besides maybe maplestory 2 I guess), but as of 2018 they've had a massive turnaround on their "forever franchises" since DFO finally beat star wars gross box office totals in profit. Yeah yeah toys are the main selling point but investors don't care, they tune out everything but "OUR GAME IS BIGGER THAN STAR WARS". And it's not entirely false, DFO in china is the #1 mmo, it beat out wow as of 2017. There were more people at an irl event for it than there were at the fucking avengers infinity war premiere. That's some shit.
Anyway, stuff like DFO, maplestory, kart rider, mabinogi to a lesser extent, and their older franchises most people have never heard of, baram, talesweaver, LoD. They're working on redoubling efforts on those games, and infusing new blood into the workforce for them to create new content, as opposed to letting them stagnate with skeleton crew support. In return, we saw maplestory and DFO post record profits for them last year. 50%~ YoY for both, DFO was like fucking 120% or something ridiculous, maplestory was 60-some. Both of them are 15+ year old games, and represent, just those two, over 70% of all of nexon's profits worldwide. Just china and korea.
Is that a duck with an afro? Sick
Despite the fact that DFO can barely be called an MMO, I love it so I hope Project BBQ doesn't end up a stinker.
>It's another Elinmanure thread
Rem here, dumb slayer.
BBQ has been seeing more footage released (mostly in a very covered up and edited way though) and frankly it's looking like a really generic dungeon action game. vindictus/mabi heroes style.
Well, it's DFO but in 3D so instanced dungeons is all I'm expecting. All I want is the beat em up feeling along with the look and feel of skills to transfer over.
Don't worry
Their new game will save the entire mmo genre
Too bad there isn't a loli race tho
>loli catgirls
>thick thighs
>they also don't look like potatoes
Versus
>balloon tit bimbos you can be in almost any other asian mmo
Really makes one ponder, right?
This
I literally only heard good things about the beta even though the alpha sucked
Just give me a pre-reaper subscription server without the current circus of pandering outfits and I'll play it again.
Kill yourself elinure, you transexual loser
ffxiv says hello
Does ffxiv have a loli race that doesn't look like potato toddlers like lalafels?
show me another mmo with dragon amazons and knifey eared horned sluts
draenei don't count because goats
No oceanic server
>this framerate
What is even going on here, I can't get this game to run for fuck all.
To be fair, Castanics were the second most played female race, were the poster race for the game until Elins saved the game from an early death and got the second-most amount of newer classes. Dragon amazons are always going to be super niche among weeb gamers though.
no one can,
but due to sunk cost fallacy they keep playing
TERA should of been closed down years ago
The PvE was so fucking brain dead in this game.
This Korean grindfest action MMO meme is getting very old
reminder that elins are literally recycled elves
>He doesn’t think toddlers are sexy
>He hasn't played BDO
i know everything about Comfy, TFT and TIE, AMA.
So is Bluehole's new game any good? Is it even out yet?
Who is the best(cutest) lancer?
Light
who serviced the most dicks
whos the biggest cumslut
They got rid of everything that made TERA interesting. And the announce trailer couldn't even maintain a stable framerate, and they're still using UE3 from what I remember.
God, Elins are amazing. The other girls are pretty alright too but Elins are just fantastic.
>it's been seven years since CBT
but they're just little girls
Is there no naked mod for the other races like this one? I only ever see ellins
That fucking bridge. Memories of good fights blocking it off during the beta and on release. Seeing a horde of people rush forward to try to break through only for everyone but a few retards to stop and run back again.
Why there is no MMORPG similar to old TERA?
> open world, with beautiful scenery for exploration
> hard BAMs, require teamwork to beat
> moderate quality of life, so players still need to communicate
> action real time combat
> cute girls
After TERA, I tried FFXIV but it didn't do it. The closest thing to TERA I've played, ironically, are Xenoblade X and 2, but they are not MMORPG and action based.
Fuck you retard
The creation of Elins is the only good thing to ever come out of Korea and they still were retarded to not realize how popular they would become.
faggot
West is creatively bankrupt having become hellbent on appealing to the lowest common denominator, while at the same time being as safe and inoffensive as possible and just wants to make moolah and the east wizened up to it even earlier with their completely isolated consumer markets, so it's filled with great designs but shit or zero gameplay, because they still have some creativity left in them, but no competent direction besides "Make it so that whales buy it".
god it hurts, i come back to tera every year and it SUCKS, i just wish they could roll back to manaya core patch
today i will try ESO i heard the combat is similar, but i have no high hopes
Because that would first require an mmo to be made in 2019. Face it, it's a dead genre, and mobile games and gacha helped kill it.
Subscription fees are dead. Cosmetic stores on shit f2p games just make so much more money and that in turn heavily incentives the developers to make a game that punishes whales as infrequently as possible. Why waste time making a game like that when most of those features aren't even the main moneymakers?
Of course I know, I just want to dream, what would this unholy combination be:
> TERA gameplay
> FFXIV story
> Xenoblade openworld
>Cosmetic stores on shit f2p games just make so much more money
Not only on f2p games. XIV is a sub based game and that has cosmetic store that brings in buckets of cash.
Can you imagine just minding your own business and this Elin walks up to you and demands you drop your pants.
Fuck those little assholes they are mean.
XIV is an exception, a lot of people have quit since SE has been extremely jewish with their cash shop, selling event items, mounts, extra retainers and jump potions, everything short of actual pay2win garbage
I loathe the idea of mmo's double dipping like that.
Triple dipping. They have paid expansions.
Square Enix is fucking jewish. Lucky that I quit FFXIV early, not wasting money anymore
It really bums me out because I'd stay subbed all year round if I didn't feel like such an idiot for playing the game. When I was playing it I just felt like a huge fucking sucker playing designed to take advantage of me rather than a game world that the developers are continually adding more content to and fleshing out.
Yeah WoW does it too. I remember back in 2009 (or was it 2010) when people defended the sparklepony mount, and said it was just one mount. It pissed me off then, and it pisses me off now when I read how they keep adding in more cosmetic mounts and pets, or even paying to skip levels.
Of course people like noxychu defend that shit. They make money off retards who pay for anything related to that game
Blizzard finally added some toys to the paid store a couple of months ago. (It was only mounts and pets and a couple of gear appearances up until then.) They're just going to keep doing more and more of that shit as the ship slowly sinks. Can't wait until they remove the sub requirement! Oh wait, they won't.
Tera is still pretty good. Probably the only action MMO on the market that was ever any good.
I paid for a month of WoW during the BfA beta when they let you play without the subscription or whatever it was, hadn't played since mid-WotLK
The people on their mounts at the starting gates at the AB I joined looked like a space clown festival or something.
Dunno if I'll enjoy classic or not but I'll definitely enjoy seeing more down-to-earth mounts at the starting gate
>everyone calls the tera sky """"whale"""" when it clearly looks like a shark....
bell curves in effect
The nerfed BAMs within the first few weeks. They used to be this epic, Monster Hunter style battles. Without them there was nothing interesting to fight.
Real question: what went wrong with pic related?
I think mounts started going out of control in Wrath, when there became a reason to actually collect them. They just got more and more outlandish.
The beta is currently going on in thailand. The worst I've heard people say about it is it's okay. No idea when it's going into beta in a relevant region.
its literally called a whale in the game files
Why is Yea Forums so obsessed with tranners?
I miss the old days of TERA.
I knew TERA was dead when one of the GMs who was really hopeful for the game "left". They were one of the few Elin GMs too.
I feel bad for them. And fuck the weird censorship that was done for EU. What absolute tripe.
>game devs are retarded so its okay if im retarded too!
RIP Tonka as well.
jesus christ you can have an elin sukumizu in this game? I should've kept playing
if the game devs say its a whale, its a whale.
Get fucked, faggot.
game has issues when 50% of players use cheats like proxy
and the sad thing about it that if you dont want others to execute scripts on your computer while you play tera, you also will want to install proxy
Danicia (that was her name right?) was the only one I actually hated.
>game is saved by elins
>hire a CM who is an actual SJW who calls elin players creepy pedo losers
Spacekats was almost endearing in his incompetency.
horoko was a fucking annoying bitch
>all devs are AUTOMATICALLY perfect, correct, and ABSOLUTE geniuses
Why don't you go suck Yandere Dev's jew cock while you are at it
Those where all I had.
if they literally designed the game, and the artist handcrafted the creation, then yes, they get to determine what it is called.
Don't be autistic.
;_;
Did the CM actually do that lol
im glad this faggot offed himself
That's the definition of a pedo user.
Now this is a semen demon, I want her to her to suck my nuts
Yeah, you could tell she loathed the player base.
just looked her up and now I want to rip my eyes out
I think those types of people take those jobs because they literally can't get anything else.
>Such intense whining
Did they hurt your feelings?
Stand in line.
No, I just hate CH niggers.
Im glad they ruined CH by combining it with other PvE servers, ruining the "Roleplay" nature.
I didn't play on CH, but you seem mighty attached to this Horoko if you go out of your way to post what you did, just to claim you hate CH players.
Then again, it IS CH after all.
I miss playing brawler but female armor fucking sucked dicks
i never played on CH, only had an alt there to cash into the retards who overpaid for garbage cosmetics.
Kill yourself though my dude.
Playing Tera as a human male in full plate is pretty weird since everyone else is an Elin in frilly dresses or bikinis
>cash into the retards who overpaid for garbage cosmetics.
based
>Kill yourself though my dude.
Nah, don't want to waste Crystalbinds.
>not wanting to be a wise grandpa surrounded by mischievous kids that need constant lecturing and advice
Bump limit reached
Well it is a hold down your boner simulator
I returned the other day and am at level 50 from mostly instances, levelling up is quick but only up to 2k online EU pvp.
