just wanted to state two things.
As of 5/8/2012 NA TERA does not have a cash shop. It will probably have one eventually but it does not have one now.
As for the actual topic "the quests" I personally hate questing and man made storylines in an MMO. I personally play MMO's to create my "own" story with my character (not an RP'er btw). I actually thought until recently that most MMO gamers were like this but the last few years have shown me to be an odd outlier.
That being said my older brother is the complete opposite. If an MMO is boring storywise he will not play it for more than a few days. While the yellow quests are standard quests with minimal story (sporewalkers are killing my crops kill 10 and....) the red quests, storyline quests, are actually very well done. My brother read the background lore provided while installing the game and watches every second of every story-line cutscene and he is loving it. He will actually text me to log in because he wants to see what happens next.
Dont get me wrong his excitement has not convinced me to watch one cutscene or read an entire quest yet but that is because it is not my thing. For someone who does love that stuff the storyline quests seem extremely well done.
Can`t agree more on this one.
Now if they only fix the cutscene, so from what I heard there are 2 type of cutscene, video and live. video are the ones that require things the game engine can't so and those are the bad cutscene. the ones with mushy graphics and the voice out of sync. The llive ones are build with the game engine and graphic is clear, and voice match whats going on. I really hope they fix it XD
Well, the game didn't work out in asia so they tried their luck with rest of the world... Not working that well, so fa, either...
I wonder what did they change so drastically from the asian market.. Maybe that's why the quests are so terrible?
Maybe they just added a lot of quests to the existing ones and that's why the story of the quests doesn't merge in so well... Just what I think

Here is a pretty secret piece of information, this may very well shatter your very existence: Not every negatiive post is from a guild wars 2 fan. And even if they are, the motivation isnt necessarily because they are a GW2 fan, but rather because they are a MMORPG fan.
Also zerg vs zerg strategy in a game with limited skill customization vs. objective based, multifactional PvP with heavy skill customization strategy are two completely different animals.
Also, I'm guessing English isn't your primary language based on your post, but the word is 'strategy.'
"Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life."

Ya my spelling sucks so sorry if its messing =X and by strategy is when fighting in group require lot of strategy you use in real life war. Flanking, depending squishy hold postion. Shift to get in to better postion, don't get trap all those stuff. Doesn't require objective to make thing stratgic, the fight itself is. You can have all the objective in the world but if people can't work together because they are all random people there is no stragety just random mobs.
I don't understand your comments about GW2. Well, actually I don't understand much of your post at all. I played in GW2 beta. It was everything the hype said it was. I tried all aspects of the game including WvWvW, structured pvp, Dynamic Events, Story Quests. Everything worked. Performance only had a slight slowdown in WvWvW mass battles. I don't understand what you are talking about with regard to GW2 stealing features from other games. You need to actually give examples or your post doesn't mean shit. From what I can tell, GW2 borrowed heavily from GW1 (also a great game). The dynamic events are completely novel and fun. They are not at all like public quests in WAR, which basically just added a timer onto a normal quest. Dynamic events happen like actual events. Mobs run around and try to accomplish their goals, rather than just sitting in a field eating grass. Anyway, please try and post examples about your opinions because otherwise no one will take you seriously.
And TERA does have the worst quests ever. No contest. Nothing but kill ten X. Also a huge quantity of kill ten X. That is the definitiion of a grinding game. Even WoW and SWTOR had better quests, and I HATE those games. TERA really dropped the ball with content design.

I will play no more MMORPGs until somethign good comes out!
It's amazing how angry some people get when others don't like what they like.
And it would be nice to read at least one thread that doesn't devolve into GW2 vs Tera. Can't people discuss the merits of a game, or the complaints that they have about a game without referencing the other? Saying "GW2 sucks" doesn't make Tera better, nor does saying "Tera sucks" make GW2 better, in the end they have to stand and offer enjoyment on their own.
And if you're going to troll a game, at least use correct information.
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
ROFL.
A lvl 50 and more than one 30?
NO WONDER YOU'RE FUCKING BORED ALREADY. god damn it. go get a job or something. you must literally be playing this game 12 hours a day.
Lol, it must hurt to be so missinformed.
I am lvl 22 and there are hardly, maybe 0 red quests between lvls 13-22 and that makes for some boring task quests
So another TERA vs GW2 thread......
1. SWTOR is a much better comparsion
Why? First, it is already out and not still in beta. Second, SWTOR is the exact opposite to TERA: The game-experience when you not play (voice-acting, sequences, story, etc) is the best you can get in any MMO. But the game-experience when you actually play (that means fighting like in all MMOs) is way much better in TERA. This is the reason why I never played SWTOR, fighting looked so boring in every video, it was like WoW in space.
2. We already now that
Read any preview or review out there in the internet. You will always get the same information "Questing in TERA is not good." Come on, 50% of all threads here tell you the same. But the game has other qualities. And there are still plans for more interesting content.
3. Guild Wars 2
No there is not a conspiracy between NCsoft and MMORPG.com. The GW2 beta is just great. 90% of all testers love the game and many would already pay to just play every day the few things that are already playable. So the hype is well-earned. I remember that shortly before Vanguard was released most beta testers were appalled by the fact that it was so unpolished. There were thousands of posts, where players begged for a delay of the release date, because they feared, that an unfinished game would fail (and they were right). But this is not the case n GW2. Everything we see is very polished already and fun. And release is still 4 months away at least.
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
All I can say to this is............ WTF !!!!
LOL LOL LOL what game you were you playing, if you want to say that swtor does not have the mmo elements you were looking for I would prob agree with you but to say swtor quests were worse than Tera ROFL, sorry dude but that is just silly. Even the people who like Tera (and i think besides the quests iti is a decent game) admit the quests are awful. you are welcome to your own opinion of course but whoooo
Ya thats just a big load of crap if I ve ever read one. Even the biggest Tera fanbois agree the quest are lacking. Was a nice try, ah who am I kidding, it was a terrible attempt.
Did you copy/paste the preview writen by a GW fan boy?
Please man don`t serve me this kind of bull.
