Re: Tera Online Closed Beta

There is nothing wrong with pre-ordering a game in order to get in on beta tests if the company is offering access as a bonus. I will be trying Tera this weekend (10-12) as I have an IGN Prime membership that allowed me access for this round of beta test.

So I shouldn't feel quilty. Thanks.

Isn't this games gameplay designed to where it actually takes skill to attack something? You can't just target something and your toon will hit it when it moves, you have to keep your target reticle on it? And if you want to dodge or miss an attack, you actually have to move instead of percent chance to miss it?

Yes. It is almost like FPS targeting.

Beta starts today. Should I make a video?

Please do, i like the fighting mechanics.

Any requests? I'll try my best to make one this weekend.

I was going to do a breakdown video of:

Character Creation
Questing Methods
Combat Mechanics
Grouping

Wow, this game looks awesome. I hope we hear good things of the gameplay.

I'm usually a melee kind of person but DAMN does that priest look like a ton of fun to play!

Can anyone get into the beta if they pre-order? I am on the verge of cancelling SWTOR so I may just pre-order this and see if the beta lives up to snuff.

In recent memory, betas so far have convinced me to buy BF3 (+), SWTOR (-), and avoid Diablo 3 (TBD).

Yes. If you pre-order than you get into all the Betas and headstart. Today's beta starts 12:00 p.m. PST. However Amazon pre-orders seem to be having an issue with getting beta keys out. I pre-ordered with En-Masse. Link below for additional information. Can I be DSLR's #1Tera FAN!?!?! j/k.

Ephrata, PA? Wow I live near the King of Trolls. I'm a fan of your work. Tera seems to be adding movement and targeting to the MMO genre. You must target attacks and you must move to actually dodge attacks. No auto attacks.

I'll let you know after this weekend.

One of the interesting things about this combat system is that you have to actively block attacks (think Batman Arkham or Witcher 2) and you can't just tab-target to passively "lock on" to someone.

Whether those minor adjustments to MMO mechanics and the execution of the rest of the game are enough to set it apart remains to be seen.

Wow, you guys aren't far from me at all. Allentown here. Always interesting to find people close by.

Kris, I'll be looking forward to your report after the weekend. I'd preorder and jump in the beta this weekend if I wasn't going out of town. If its good though, I may jump in during the week.
