So ya'll are in Aion now? ^_^ That is awesome. I bought the game and was playing on the Ariel server as a Cleric. But then I heard that Zot started his own clan on a different server, so I wanna switch now and come play with ya'll. XD

[Zotics]

Most of us are not very active. I personally made a ranger and kept it at lower levels to pvp atm. I am sure we will be active again come tera online sometime this year.

[Shelene]

Yea I can't wait for Tera myself. :)) The Castanics are too cute.
My name is Shelene in game for Aion, going for Spiritmaster so I am sure you will see me running around. *^^* I would like to see what the pvp is like at least.

[bcs]

Haven't seen you in a while... how's it going?

[bcs]

Since you mentioned Tera, I looked it up... looks like Tera already has some english translation done...

The pvp in that video looks stupid though, but it's only level 8 guys.

Didn't know priests healed in an AOE since there is no point and click in this game. That's interesting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU3Nk4u59gA - Looks like you pick up items off the ground rather than off the corpse where no one else can touch it. About time. Hell, even the level up animation is exactly like Lineage 2 lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJr1QQ5wkYA - No flights in Tera it seems. Same old staple gatekeepers (about 4:15 in) like L2 had to transfer from area to area. I like that better. No wasted time flying.

[Shelene]

Heya! Yea it has been a long time! ^^ I have been doing well, how about you? And nice, I will check out the videos. :D The AOE healing is quite interesting.

Good. I will be getting bionic ears soon... cochlear implants.

So, about Tera, I read that they just recently received $27.7 million (US dollars) from investors... so I'm assuming the project must be good.

Also on their FAQ from the site:
"This is a Open World MMORPG for PVP.

- What does Open World PVP mean?

It means that everyone can PVP anyone at anytime, anywhere. Yes this means you can attack people of your own race."

Additionally, it's a seamless world... so no instances. Upon further reading, it uses the same "flag" system as L2, it would seem.

I played Tera on the second focus test and it is a solid game. You could only test out the low levels because it was just for a weekend which doesn't give you much time, but it runs very smooth to say the least. They have another test coming up which is rumored to be either be this or next month. Keep an eye on terafans.com they seem to have connections with BHS.

Pigeon, why do you bother coming to our forums? You follow us like lost sheep and then act as the big bad wolf in games where you and your guild become nonfactors. What gives?

[PsychoPigeon]

Well i wasn't trying to act like a ' big bad wolf ', but i wanted to join you guys in one game at least, just waiting for the right open pvp game..

[Zotics]

Join us as in join me and the crew? As in joining the guild to roll with us?

[Sevaar]

BAN KAI!!!

Be seeing you all in Tera.

Looks like archers use mana for regular arrows in Tera? Kinda hard to tell in the blurry vid but seems like they do...



Weird shit... looks like the devs like some L2 elements.

[Hated]

I'm not going to get big again. Just going to have a solid group of players and start froms scratch. Aion was a total shitfest with all the fucking shitty players and worthless fucks.

Well, looks like TERA will have instances and PVE and PVP servers. In the PVE servers you have to flag while in the PVP server there is no flagging.

There are also pvp instanced 'battlegrounds' and instanced dungeons... so that means open world pvp is probably going to be non-existent.

This is an interview with Brian Knox who is probably responsible with the 'westernization' of the game...
To be honest I'm a little disappointed...

Copy/pasted q+a's

Q: Can you tell us more about the planned PvP system for TERA? Will it be entirely free-for-all in most areas? will there be safe areas?
A: TERA includes a system that allows players to declare PvP on other players. This system should allow players the freedom they desire in-game, while at the same time eliminating the ganking that can occur with open PvP.

Q: Does the company plan to support servers where PvP is everywhere (PvP servers) as well as servers where you have to flag yourself to be part of PvP (PvE servers)?
A: Yes. We expect to have both PvE and PvP servers. PvE servers will still have consensual PvP content such as battlegrounds and duels.

Q: Will there be any instanced PvP areas?
A: TERA has consensual PvP areas called "battlegrounds." You can form battle groups and fight for political gains, guild prestige, and loot, and you'll earn points that can be used for various guild improvements and political gains. Battlegrounds will also span multiple servers to increase participation and competition.

Q: Will TERA have more open elite areas or more instanced elite areas?
A: There will be non-instanced dungeons, such as the Enchanted Castle, and instanced dungeons as well. We hope to provide a variety of both, because they'll each offer unique gameplay experiences.

[PsychoPigeon]

looks like a ton more content than Aion had at release, too bad it's been pushed back till early 2011 though.

[PsychoPigeon]
