not sure when flashy skills were considered a good thing..
I've been playing the CBT this weekend and TERA has done nothing but leave me in awe. The environments and cities are amazing. Gameplay is what I consider ideal, so is the equip system. World is ENORMOUS! Almost overwhelming even. I went into TERA skeptical but really hoping for something great, and it's impressed and surprised me on every level. If you have the specs for it, give it a shot!
TERA feels like a complete game. I pre-ordered it, and I don't think I've bought a game in the past year besides Skyrim that felt like it was truely worth the money. I've never played an MMO in closed beta (and I've played a LOT of them) that felt so polished and complete.
The main selling point for me however, was the publisher. En Masse is a team of gamers, making games. Theyre comprised of some of the top members from NC Soft, Blizzard, and SOE. They left their top paying companies more or less to create games for the players, not for the money. I've got a lot of faith in this MMO dream team. After being under Nexon for so long this is of great importance. Seen too many times what happens when a great game is run by a terrible company. TERA is a great game run by a great company. Couldn't ask for anything more.
