>TERA

Boy I sure love playing 3000 hours to unlock content

The current game is a load of shit compared to the beta, and this "classic" is nothing but a desperate attempt to bring back the beta players until they ruin this one too

less ERP?

>>16117302

Those thighs should be illegal

>>16117344

they are. the Elin were censored in europe.

It's 8 actually.

>>16117588

They were censored everywhere outside of the SK, to varying degrees. Because almost all countries are censorship loving shits.

>>16117787

>slow and grindy

This is a prerequisite of any Korean MMO.

>>16117302

>>16117787

i think what he is talking about, is the time needed to level versus actually getting late game equipment. levelling is fast but it a nonstop grind to get resources to upgrade

TERA got horrible very quickly from a starting point of good.

>>16117787

I don't know what that anon was saying. But I played Tera on release. And leveling up used to be slower and more grindy. Players were weaker and BAMS were harder to kill. Then it got casualized and easier over time.

>>16117787

Stopped playing a few months ago, but system was like this:

>leveling is so fast you can get to max in a week on a normalfag time schedule and in a weekend if you really want to

>frequent leveling events to make it even faster

>buddy system that throws more free exp your way

>level 65, you get your shit-tier lategame eq thrown at you for free, still outclasses everything from leveling

>you can now do a few of the lategame dungeons

>these drop materials you need for enchanting, these are non-tradeable

>enchant gear

>upgrade to next tier

>better dungeons available

>gear now collects exp you get from dungeons

>exp vastly increases chances of success when enchanting

>max exp is 100% at this level

>enchant, upgrade, see above

>enchant a bit, max success now lower even with exp

>if you fail, gear doesn't break, but the shit you used to enchant is gone (not exp tho)

>+3% chance next time, stacks to 100%

>repeat some more. Side costs in gold rise by a lot now for enchanting

that's pretty much it.

>>16117882

There was a time when your gear actually mattered in leveling, where rewards from it were good.

Then the vanguard exp and other exp came, so you'd have access to better armor 10 minutes after getting a set and they made these soulsomething weapons that outclass anything previously in the game, save for endgame content, meaning you just breeze through shit.

>>16117915

I wouldn't even say the game is bad nowadays. It's just now fully oriented towards the end game experience. The game is just getting dated. The graphics were never great to begin with. And now it's really starting to show. The combat was always the draw of the game. I'd like see a Tera 2, or whatever.

>>16117966

I'd say the game is awful now. There's absolutely no gear progression other than what the game throws at you, and it's incredibly locked.

"Do BR until you get enough Piss scraps to make your Shit armor+9 into Poop Sock+0"

"Do BRHM/TSNM to get enough wood scraps to make your poop sock+9 into Wooden Shit+0"

"Do LMNM to get Bullshit Iron Scraps to make your Wooden shit+9 into Iron retard+0"

What do you mean you're good enough at playing that you can do LMNM in Shit armor+0? Well fine you just can never upgrade your gear until you grind through Shit armor+0 then, have fun retard that'll show you for being "good" at the game.

I just feel bad for the Baraka being trapped inthat game, they were comfy

>>16117302

Elins are the only good thing about this game. If only they were in FF14 instead of the potato midgets.

They're probably stuck in the past. 5 years used to be a longass time in videogaming, now things are stagnant and it's a fairly insignificant amount of time.

If you actually fucking read it you'd see this is only a temporary event.

>It's not like the game has changed considerably since it was initially released.

It has changed so much that me and most people I know quit it a few months after it went F2P in europe. That was in 2013 or 2014, and my guild and me had been playing before it was released in the west.

I just want a private server with all the cash cost costumes as gold items so I don't have to spend money to have a cute elin.

Is that too much to ask?

>>16117997

The end game dungeon gating is a little annoying, yes. But it's similar to other MMOs that use item levels to gate access to content. There are no truly open world MMOs anymore where you can freely go anywhere.

The last MMO I can remember that had a high degree of freedom was Everquest 1, in the early 2000s. But even it had its own versions of gate keeping. I remember needing to grind reputation levels with factions in order to progress. It was far more hardcore and time consuming than anything around now. I miss it.

>>16118295

I always heard good things about Asheron's Call and DAOC but never played either.

>>16118318

I played DAOC for a bit but didn't really get into it very deeply. I never liked pvp in MMOs all that much. And that is what it was known for. Never tried Asheron's Call.

I enjoyed Tree of Savior for quite a while after it came out. It was similar to the older MMOs. But they just seemed to make it worse over time, somehow. I eventually just lost interest in it. I guess it was ultimately just too grindy.

>>16117147

>read "classic"

Wait, was there a non-online TERA? this is interesting.

>check picture… "classic server"

Meh, I am not into MMOs.

>>16118365

Only thing I know about Asheron's Call is that it has player housing and was apparently the first MMO with a continuous overworld.

>>16117832

>>16117787

>>16117882

What I mean is I played it with /v/ a year or so ago I honestly cant remember how long ago it was and after noticing how half the map i was in had no quests I asked about. Turns out they had just removed a lot of stuff and made the other quests give double XP. There was also a whole bunch of other quests removed including the intro and the quest where you kill a bunch of pigs after killing the monster that was killing the pigs.

I know they changed the starting area and speed up your leveling time to plus ultra fast, but It didnt really seem THAT different to me compared to how it is today (Granted, I never did end-level stuff. I got bored the first time around level 35 and got to max level the 2nd time more recently, but couldn't be fucked to go any further). Not compared to games like WoW that have drastically changed everything, or FF14 Where essentially a whole new games from the bottom up was created.

>>16118403

When I played Tera on release, I needed to do nearly every quest I saw, in order to get plenty of exp. There were a lot of stupid "Kill X Monsters" quests that were just there for filler. I played it again 2 or 3 years ago and as recently as the past year. This last time around, I skipped all the side quests entirely. Because they were no longer needed for getting enough exp.

>>16118433

all i did was dungeons to level quests are negligible

>>16118448

As much as I prefer soloing, I don't know know why I even bother with MMOs at all.

>>16118453

You get to call someone a nigger while grinding.

>>16117147

The point is to sell to impulsive mentally ill subhumans that throw money at anything without concern. The same subhumans that get hyped for anything.

>>16118123

Thanks, just checked.

>It is expected to run for 6 to 8 weeks.

What's the point.

>>16118280

it's a good bit different. in other MMOs if necessary someone can carry you to better gear allowing you to skip a dungeon in the treadmill, in TERA you have to do every single dungeon X times in order to progress. It's an absolutely horrible way to handle it

>>16117147

They can go fuck themselves, they already fucked off to focus on Gender Unknown Meme Royale, wonder how that fucking went when Epic fucked them so hard.

This game was only good in the beta. And the reason it was good was because /v/ guild griefed the fuck out of the whole server with the open pvp and guild wars system. Good times
