In the end each person should play a game because they WANT to, not because of any other reason. When I watched the footage I didn’t feel inspired to play it.

If you want to play it, by all means, do. I hope it will provide you the fun you seek.

As a PvP player, the most disappointing part of the game is that the average player will not be willing to suffer through 60 levels of grinding to get to the point where the GvG and political mechanics become relevant.  Prior to level 60 PvP players will need to grind PvE content to level at any reasonable rate, all the while getting ROLF stomped by gear twinked and level capped players.  The core mechanics of this game are simply a big ball of fail.  If you are going to try this game, try it now, because PvP players joining this game 90 days after launch are in for a lot of pain as they grind to get to the promised ‘good stuff’.

We do have a few people in our guild playing the game and reporting they do like the PvE BAM’s and instances.  Clearly it does hold an attraction for some players.

From what I’ve seen of Tera I tend to agree with GBTV.   We’ll see how right all the die-hard Tera defenders are a year from now, or even in 6 months.   Gary has made his predictions and I’ve seen him admit when he is wrong.   I very much doubt we’ll see the same from the Tera fans if he’s proven right.

Good episode and thanks for reviewing the Tera beta so I didn’t have to waste my time. 

There’s a ton of fun to be had in Tera in my opinion.  The combat is great, the BAM’s are incredibly fun, and I personally love the art style and in my opinion it’s one of the best looking MMO’s on the market.  Please give your listeners a more rounded review with some discussion of content past lvl 20. 

Best regards,

 I played KTera. STRICTLY talking PvE, Tera has amazing instances, use of environmental damage is great ALL the fight feel epic and the design is awesome. And the new public raid is a great start to them looking to launching actual raid instances. The Nexus is in NA Tera. But they have design issues that no other game has because attacks and characters have collision so bosses and rooms need to be HUGE for raiding to actually work. Insulting the PvE in Tera because of Noob Island is retarded, its NOOB island, compare it to SWTOR, was the questing (the ACTUAL mechanics) not the Bioware-cheezy, storyline any different. I think not, “BONUS QUEST: kill 30 of this; BONUS QUEST 2 kill 40 of this mob with a changed name). Questing will ALWAYS be killing stuff, and I am glad that Tera has a lot of killing stuff, because the combat does shine at later levels and grouping. Attacks from mobs move faster at higher levels making dodging harder. Gary didn’t give the game a chance. SWTOR, is basically the same thing, questing mechanics, just with some dumb voice acting. Everyone acts as if that game is a God Send. 

Play to 20 do Bastion of Lok, and you will probably want to play to 30 to which you do SM and some Ovoliths (a BAM) and your opinion will change of the game.

Oh as for PvP, rather them not released it and released unpolished crap like SWTOR did. At least the game comes with cross server matchmaking unlike swtor. At lets not forget group dueling with wagers
