TERA News - TERA has been updated today with the Fang & Feather patch that brings big changes to the Archer class with new mechanics, new skills and different ways to play. In addition, Harrowhold, the 30-player raid dungeon, has opened for players of level 65 and is what developers are calling the "most difficult dungeon to date".

    Gonna test out the Archer soon!

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    This game has always intrigued me. I like it when I play it and I love the combat but I always end up playing something else a month later. I dont know what it is.

    Agreed.  I've tried to get into Tera several times, heck I first tried it way back during its CB.  The combat is supreme, and the character models are awesome, but...I just can't find any soul to the game.  And that God-awful RNG "enchanting" system just rubs me raw.  Honestly, I think that's the main thing that kept me from ever getting really serious about the game (even though I do have one level 65 toon lol):  the idea that I can farm my eyes out for enchanting materials, only to fail at upgrading over and over, essentially turning my time spent into a gigantic waste.

    The combat is both what drew me in and drove me away.  It's not true action combat at all, and the content is incredibly easy/boring/repeating.  You basically spam AoE's until you get to the boss and then take out a HP sponge with mechanics so simple you'd have to be an idiot to die to them.

    For me, they need to address their end game structure. Sure, almost every game name is a gear tredmill but Tera has you grinding gear then enchanting it only to use said gear to get more gear and do the enchanting all over again until you have the highest gear you can. Not really for me at the end. The combat was fun and so was the pvp though.

    Same, looking forward to the changes & long overdue, was such a chore to level solo. I liked everything else about the class, cool! Hopefully the Lancer & Warrior will get some love next.

    I think Warrior did already?

    The sorc revamp was really nice, archer revamp so far feels good - not much changed but definitely placed them to #1 if played right.

    Eh try SSHM or the other HM (hard mode) dungeons, it's fast pace and you'll easily die if you don't learn the mechanics

    Hmm there was a sorc revamp? Might have to dust off my sorc to check it out. Haven't played TERA in ages.

    I like Tera, I enjoy leveling in Tera.. then I hit max level and twiddle my thumbs. I've hit max level twice and just end up quitting soon after.
    That's backwards from most people, I think.  Most people despise the leveling because it's pretty generic, but the endgame dungeons and pvp is some of the best of any MMO out there.

    "For me, they need to address their end game structure.

    Isn't that true for every MMO?  But at least with TERA the dungeons are actually challenging at the top end, with engaging combat.

    I like TERA, its combat and overall feel, but it's...soulless(idk...female focus and boobs etc...it's too juvenile for me) and the leveling process is quite unnecessary. If it had some 20-40 levels, it'd have been perfect. This way, it feels like more of the same, really.



    Again, though, with the leveling thing, isn't that true for all MMOs? I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying it's kind of par for the course.

    Game is certainly juvenile, I won't argue with that, but that has a charm of its own, at least to me. Soulless? Nah, just really weird.

    But yeah you can't really like the game if you are like fundamentally opposed to the existance of Elins. That has always been a stumbling block preventing big success for TERA (although it also has secured it's niche with some people).

    Anyway, had some fun with TERA last night- haven't tried it in a LONG time and it the updated sorc feels really nice.
