    It’s Monster Hunters only with better graphics and mechanics.

      Lol, nice to know I’m not the only one who thought that.

       Monster hunter has a much more simplified combat (tera has them thar skillbar abilities) but yeah, very monster huntery.

         Idk even though the combat is “simple” it is rather difficult when you get to the Hunter G quests… I mean idk soloing a white, black and one horned diablo all at the same time isnt necessarily the easiest thing in the world. I wouldnt compare this to Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter you go out kill stuff, come back, craft gear and pots, go back and kill harder stuff. This game your going to have to grind alot of weaker monsters before you get to enjoy the game and I think thats what will ultimately kill it for me.

          I don’t think he meant simple as in easy, he meant simple as in there aren’t a bunch of different skills.  Monster Hunter is amazing at making you try to deal with incredibly difficult tasks while using a very small set of attacks.  Really wanting MH4

      It is similar to Monster Hunter. I enjoyed that game for the monster fights, not the repetitious gathering of materials for potions & such near the beginning. Also, my latent desire Monster Hunter Frontier here, is probably why I enjoy the game. Didn’t seem to take too long to level, so I’m willing to stick with it. Lastly, that red circle around the player feet shows who has agro; I believe it only show up during mini-boss and boss fights.

    hey Mike, just fyi there’s an npc generally around the center of town that can instantly restore your stam to max for a small fee (like around 1000 for lvl 20ish) which could come in handy with a situation like the one in the video, though turned out you didn’t need it since it was pretty low by the time you got back.  Saw you tweet a pic by the BAMs in the Celestial Hills, so hope to see if you guys tackled those too!

    • iamthemikeb

      those are coming up soon!

    Most BAMs let you attack them twice before you have to block with a lancer

  • mcsumo

    That actually looks pretty good. I had heard it was quite grindy and am put off by sub fees, so I hadn’t really looked at it much. It gives the impression of being MH like, which can be a great thing with a good team.

    “TAUNT” ? Well, so much for no tanks.

      GW2 does HAVE the holy trinity – healing, tanking and dps-ing…just most classes can do it. You can’t really get rid of that. 

      • Odeezee

        the level of fail in your post is epic.

  • Roger McKay

    Surely, Mike, you know the proper answer to a BAM is a BFG.

    Cant imagine a lvl 20deathwing turn into a BAM dragon who destroys azeroth…

    Those basilisks aren’t really BAMS

  • http://www.facebook.com/mikewoottonuk Mike Wootton

     They’re elites. The spider arakias or whatever he’s called is a BAM, not these.

    • jkkennedy

      If it is a Big Ass Monster…it is a Big Ass Monster.  Not sure you can argue with that.  No matter what one says, that is a Big Ass Monster.

    This was awesome, thanks for showing it Mike. I’m really looking into this game! Seams really cool.

    But next time, show us the loooooootz!

  • http://www.facebook.com/LordBastor Boris Gaganelov

    Basilisks are rather easy compared to lvl 35+ content….not to mention the world bosses… x3

    Also I was just about to write why ya didn’t use ur heal…..I knew it was a heal in the KOREAN version. Twat. xD

    Still thanks for doing this video mike.

  • http://www.facebook.com/LordBastor Boris Gaganelov

    PS I soloed these with a lancer…..ur weak from too much WoW xD 

    • iamthemikeb

      we should go drinking.

    This looks like fun.

    What i like about TERA is how the mob turn around quite realistic. In some other MMOs they just suddenly face you without turning.

    “That little icon above me head means I have agro.”  That little red circle is a better indication of who has aggro.

    The thing with you not showing up in the same channel is a bug they mentioned in CBTs known issues.

  • 7BitBrian

    Lancer looks cool. I’m going to have to at least try this game out when I get my computer put back together.

  • http://www.facebook.com/trose87 T Paul Rose

    super fuck that game.

    • pc11

      does that mean it is good or bad? Please use english on the comments…

  • Sharuko

    Awesome video.  The most fun I have had in an MMO is soloing one of the Kumas BAMs with my Warrior.  Soloing a BAM with a Lancer looks boring compared to a Warrior, with a Warrior you have to constantly keep moving and dodging or you will die.

    PS: I still want to see Gary try and solo a BAM. :)

    Collision detection and animations (instead of cooldowns) sure make combat feel ‘heavy’ and not…slippery slide and without oomph.
    Anyone else noticed this?

  • SevenFold

    Nice Vid Mike! Can’t wait to get into the next CBT.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cheryl-Duran/100000982457480 Cheryl Duran

    I hope we get to see a video of the level 20 instance?

  • http://twitter.com/AmythieI Kamil

    Actually, it’s the red circle under your character that’s the agro indicator.

    Great Stuff Mike!

  • Laborday

    Mike B, I love you. But bro, you are bad at the game. LOL 

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/6SXTDFKIIQUE2PCGGWFE4FEDTY NathanS

    Still think the game should be F2P Mike?

    • iamthemikeb

      yes

What Next?
