Tera: Random Complaint Thread. +12, but now what do I do with all this fodder?

[Rulke]

Ive already seen a few in game... last week sometime. Different, but nothing something appealing to me I don't think..

Before today you could get them as part of a daily quest in Allamenthia, but they only lasted 30min. This is the first time it's an actual mount and not a quest item.

[Prothescar]

New thing to be annoyed about: this level up promotion thing that I can't take advantage of >:{

unless... wonder if I could make a dummy account just to lvl to 60 on for free shit and then mail it to my main. can you mail keys and mounts?

[Avarice]

Yes, but the question is, is it worth the time? Ten keys isn't a lot, and the value of a single-use EX-TRM mount is quickly dropping on the broker.

[Eddard]

Wish they'd get their nexus update up and going... d/c'd about 8 times so far and have only done 3 nexus portals in 32min because the lag is so bad. =/ Hurry up EME and BHS!

[Shiyo]

I wish they'd remove Nexus. It's literally the worst designed thing ever created inside a MMORPG. Every single type of gear progression(PVE and PVP) all require nexus, WHY?

[Avarice]

Remember Besieged? Yeeeeea... (granted, I guess Besieged wasn't "required" unless you cared about having certain NPCs become unavailable for x amount of time.)

[Senji]

What did we do it for again? Because it was there?

[Rulke]

Besieged was all about protecting the Astral Candy for our precious OP warps and exp bonuses!

Also Nexus is technically important to the plot of Tera, what with the Argon invasions in the north and all /shrug

[Maaglin]

lol, tera and plot in the same sentence, i suppose you actually read the quests as well.

oh wait, maybe you do if you know about whatever the hell the nexus "plot" is supposed to be.

[Lokus]

Nexus has no plot (yet), it's just very loosely tied to Argons.

Tera does have a decent plot though but it's been butchered by EME in some parts to accommodate their questing changes or changed due to westernization (Pora Elinu quest chain is a major offender).

[Shiyo]

You weren't required to do besieged every day for months to progress your character in any way. Nexus lags the entire server, no one has fun doing it, no one wants to do it, it takes no actual skill to do, and it's just something you're FORCED to do. Very bad design.

[Avarice]

(granted, I guess Besieged wasn't "required" unless you cared about having certain NPCs become unavailable for x amount of time.)

Yep, covered that. Albeit, "months" is kinda stretching it. At this point, it's more like 2-3 weeks.

Very bad design.

Very Korean design.

[Shiyo]

That doesn't make it right, the game is so anti-korean until you get to 60, then it's just infinite 0 fun grinding into oblivion with no real goal, and everything is a gear check. Why the fuck is everything in an action MMO a gear check? How do you create a game that's advertised as "action combat MMO", emphasis on player skill, action combat, then make gear matter more in the game than ANY OTHER MMORPG TO EVER EXIST IN ANY UNIVERSE/DIMNSION?

The PVP is laughable, it's comparing your ilvl to another persons, you don't even need to start fighting, as soon as you see the other persons ILVL and compare it to yours you can automatically see the outcome of every fight. This isn't even getting into the HORRIFIC class balance, like warriors existing, and berserkers being the worst designed PVP class I've ever seen in my entire life(very weak).

In PVE you just need X amount of gear or you can't kill X boss before the timer runs out(sijurka/COF), and everything 1 shots or nearly 1 shots you until you're geared enough. Where's the action? Why is it a bigger gear check than any other MMORPG that's ever existed, uses tank/healer, and advertised as "action combat"? My ass it's "action combat", it's fucking WOW with prettier graphics, and the grindiest of the grindiest end game ever. I sure do love running 35 fucking sijurkas for ONE glyph, oh boy.

The gear progression is even worse, you basically skip every level 60 dungeon, including AC, and just go straight to MCNM, doing ACHM is a complete waste of time, dropping the same loot as MCNM yet is 4000x as hard. Why do the other dungeons exist? Why does ACHM even exist if it's 400x harder yet drops the exact same gear that MCNM drops? You basically won't get a single upgrade in MCNM either if you've done nexus, you can use agnitor + jax/alamethia gear and you're basically getting 0 upgrades until Regent from MCHM..the fuck kind of progression is that?

Then you do MCHM, and you do what with this infinite grind of gear? AFK in town? Having a tank and healer makes all dungeons extremely easy, the only fun class roles are healer/tank because for some reason we have the holy trinity in an ACTION MMO. The end game is shit, we've all done the holy trinity instanced dungeon grind a million times, I'm sure everyone is bored of death of it already, so what do they do? In ktera..they've added raids(OH YAY THIS GAME CLEARLY IS OPTIMIZED PROPERLY TO RUN RAIDS), and NERFED bams, the only actual fun part of the game? Cool..so the future of this game looks like complete shit, they've run out of ideas and think the only thing everyone wants to play is a dungeon/raid grind, WOW clone with prettier graphics.

I don't understand the point of this game, it does so much wrong yet has infinite potential. They completely fucked up this games "end game", it should be about action combat and BAM's, outdoor pvp, outdoor bosses, etc. Not the same old boring shit we've all done 360 times since 2004. Duo/soloing bams as DPS is incredibly fun, but once you add a tank or healer it becomes a complete joke, tanking still remains fun with a healer and more people, and healing gets more fun with more people in your group to actually heal, but where is the action part in that design? I'm not seeing anything innovative or new, just the same shit. The NEW stuff gets neglected(and hilariously nerfed into oblivion in ktera) for no reason, while we stay with the same stagnated design decisions.

[Senji]

You sound mad.

[JigglyJam]

That's an awful long post for a free to play game.

[shidobu]

That's an awful long post for a free to play game.

lol, i was wondering why s/he was so mad at a f2p game.

and if you want a challenge in this game do shit with complete strangers and see how that works.

[Kiarax]

I didn't realize F2P meant you weren't allowed to have any criticisms. Not to mention it's a product she paid for.

[Akiyama]

I have a suggestion. If you want a challenge in any game, really.. don't do it with people you are familiar with, or gimp yourself and make it a challenge by killing the higher shit with some of the shittiest gear in the game. If you're marginally good at a video game, and you pair up with someone else that's decent.. of course it's going to make things easy. :/

That doesn't apply to just this game either. It's any game. Yeah, it's silly to have to literally gimp yourself just to make something a little harder because it's easy as is.. but meh. If you're that interested in making something truly difficult and don't want to go with PUGs, try nerfing yourself

[shidobu]

I didn't realize F2P meant you weren't allowed to have any criticisms. Not to mention it's a product she paid for.

doesn't seem like shes having any... fun

combats shit (her post)
pvp is shit (her post)
pve is shit (her post)
wow clone comment (yadayada what ever the fuck that means i never played wow)

why are we here again?

had she complained about Rng of enchanting/MW'ing i woulda been on her side cuz fuck enchanting

but QQ about the basic mechanics of the game then i cant see how you waste your time playing this game.


the "action" of this game is reaction speed and cooldown timers. thats it
