TERA Online - Level 39 Popori Slayer overview

BATTLE BEAVERS ONLINE

TotalBiscuit took a look at some of the higher level classes and combat while at Frogster. This is one of two videos of some higher level combat with a couple of different classes.

Very much overlooked game.  It has HANDS DOWN the BEST combat in any MMO ever created.

This game is extremely good, although it is definitely an endgame experience, meaning there isn't much to do until you're max level. You may get bored while leveling, but you'll have a shit load of fun stuff to do once you're level 60, and they're releasing a ton of new content in the next expansion in the next few months. Definitely worth playing.

I somehow completely missed out on this video. I have much appreciation for you TotalBiscuit.

Popori's... What's not to like?! The combat mechanic is definitely a highlight, fell in love with it right away during my CB3 experience.

I have played the Beta...And my friends, I can only say that it was a mindblowing experience. I was extremely surprised at the dynamism, fluidity and satisfaction brought by the combat system. Not only that, but it is also a blooming, beautiful, imaginative world with a story that is getting shaped by a dedicated team which cares for Lore (EnMasse which is responsible for western localization of the game which originates from South Korea).Needless to point out the graphics are top notch as well!

Personally I am greatly looking forward to both GW2 and TERA. TERA for it's combat system, the political system and the lush colorful art style (eastern/western be damned). GW2 for practically everything it has and then some. Despite that both games appeal to me.
Thank you TotalBiscuit for the video and combat explanation. :)

Just that it is clear to anyone curious, all characters will be wiped at the end of the last closed beta. That is the one and only character wipe planned at this time. So unless they change that (check their FAQ for any update) then any character you make from the open beta onwards should be safe. And any pre-order bonuses won't be available until the official launch on May 1st.

[sumerian]

Exactly the same situation! This game is so refreshing, dynamic and beautiful!

Thank you, I'm glad you have seen my point. The fact is that traditional trinity mmos will never be able to have so many synergies and such because of role specialization, which in my opinion takes away a good chunk of potential teamwork.

[LazyProphet]

Also, great vid TB. Love what you do, look forward to more GW2 content, hope to see more Tera.

[Mptjuh]

I only clicked cause the thumbnail was so good.

[KrimsunTeef]

Just pre-ordered my copy... I can't wait for this game, I just hope it doesn't let me down.

[Meldramiriel]

The graphics menu is actually very kind towards the user, even on lower graphics the game is still beautiful, and you can even set the game to lower your graphics when ever you join a party as to minimize the chance of getting a lagspike.

[Titak]

Dancing truly is the most important feature of an mmo.

looks very good. great visuals and animations. very interesting combat system. hope its enough to keep the interest up.

[TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

This is an old review, but how's the player base? Is it at least decently sized? And how's the community? The Combat is obviously good, but if the community is shitty, i wont waste my time.

@Talis116 i'm in the beta program with a friend, and my friend, who is vehemently anti-pvp suddenly wanted to try duelling me just to test out the combat system vs another player... and loved it! I think TERA might be the game that allows him, and others like him, to finally be able to enjoy PVP activities. Mind he plays a Slayer with a few levels on my priest, but when Im quick on my toes we can end it in a draw.

The combat system = skill to play makes for great balance!

[honeypot]

Exactly, and in a party its for whoever runs to it first, and for mining/gathering you both have to be hitting it at the same time.
In guild wars 2, you can grab whatever you want, wherever, and other people will have their own to take too.

[LazyProphet]

I intent to play both. Guess I'm one of the lucky few that can do so.
Tera = love the eastern style, combat is fun and engaging, PvP is second to none (subject to change.) It feels like Soul Cal the MMO.
GW2 = Rich, deep story that practically mandates a connection with your character. Many little things are happening that will change the cookie cutter. Love the depth of character skills and progression. NOT a new questing system, but taking the old and doing it much better.
