Because even if I built the sexiest character in Tera, I can't make her have sex with other hot characters like I can in Illusion games, 3DCG, Oblivion sex mods and other H-games which can be modded. If I'm going to play a game which provokes bones, I want to be able to finish.

But even if I did have the option in an MMO, those characters are controlled by other players. Male players. Two guys talking dirty while rubbing their female characters against each other?

In this case, seducing an AI would be preferable, but mmos rely on the human male playerbase. There's a reason these waifu simulators are singleplayer games.

I later found my first adversary: a lancer. I'd studied their abilities, made predictions detailing how he would block if he knew my class "Mystic" and how he would block if he didn't. I mapped out a kiting path, clear of mobs.

I'm enjoying TERA immensely. Definitely the most fun I've had in an MMO in a long time based solely on the game's merit and not carried by the group I'm playing with. Is it as good as UO or SWG were once upon time? No, of course not. However, as far theme parks go, TERA is easily the best I have played.

That said, I will fully admit the overall community is absolute shit and possibly one of the worst I have ever seen in an MMO. However, it seems like every AAA MMO launch community is worse than the previous one, so this may simply be a result of that effect. Time will tell.

I'm now level 55 and I've practically given up.

The questing became a drag around level 40, and 50-60 is a goddamn pain. Once you start filling 1/40th of a bar by handing in a million XP quest that took you 10-15 mins you start to question yourself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9004312
I know what you mean. At lvl50+ the monsters take forever to die, and you need to kill a lot of them to finish one quest. I pushed on to 60, and while the combat is fun, i feel there is too little content at end game right now to justify that grind.

I leveled through the game with a friend, and when we hit 50 we started complaining about the ridiculous amounts of HP, even though we were doing damage together.

I heard that 58-59 and 59-60 are even harder than the regular 50s.

We kept on playing because we were hoping the 60 endgame would be good, but after reading many discouraging posts about people who are saying there is nothing to do we just decided the huge time investment wouldn't weigh up to the enjoyment once we got there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9004360
58-59 is done extremely fast, way faster than your previous levels. 59-60 however is far longer than any other level you've done.

I think the leveling is still pretty smooth after 50 but the normal mobs feel a little harder. You really notice your lack of damage if your equipment isn't up to date.

Quests in the level 60 zones generally give around 10-20g or so for relatively short requirements, such as killing X monster 6-8 times. The monsters (at least in the Argonea region) usually come in pairs and can be mobbed easily. I haven't been able to play much since reaching 60 but that is just my experience over the past couple of days. You can also run instances and hope you get gold drops and the like and sell them on the broker. Hell, I sell almost anything on the broker just because it works like a pay4bank and allows you to earn some extra money while you keep your own bank space free for more important items.

Mostly because everything is so pretty. Just wandering around and finding things to look at is nice. Luckily I didn't follow the hype train on this one at all, so no disappointment or anything, just fun.

Made a video about a week ago about it.
http://youtu.be/fzw7WUeKfpE

What you can expect in this game: Pretty design, waifu simulator, a way to forget your life blows for a while. You're treating yourself to a nice visual tour of a vast world that will very much please the eyes.

What you shouldn't expect: the combat system to live up to its hype. Its a good step up from the traditional but its still nothing new. Questing system and generally the entire structure of the game's build and progression is pretty much WoW.

I bought it at 50 dollars, got my month, got to max level, decided I got my money's worth. After my 3 month sub expires I will probably take a hiatus until the next expansion.

Also, if any /jp/ players out there are in dead Freeholds server, I own a small guild for anyone interested. Despite being a nobody's guild, considered how dead the server is, I might try for vanarchy in a low priority spot. General policy is all NPC enabled, 0% tax. We take it easy, so if you don't have a guild, I'll gladly take you in.

[Anonymous No.]

Don't you need at least 20 guild members and level 3 for vanarchy?

I'm at level 60, playing with 180 ping easily. The only thing that sometimes fucks you up is the occasional instability that makes your teleport not take you anywhere, but still use it's cooldown.
It's rather rare, but it sucks hard. Specially in PvP.

[Anonymous No.]

Not much to do at 60 since EME took away most of the endgame. It's really just crafting, dungeons and alts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9019799

Yes. I can do that quite easily though. I have about 10 shadow members for the guild that will join in any given notice, and then about 10 more in various other guilds that are planning on quitting soon. Freeholds server is actually unbelievably unpopulated. Currently, there is only one guild that has the member count to take the vanarchy and they plan on monopolizing every area in the game, so I want to see if I can't sneak in a win somewhere with less priority.

Its a long shot, but I'm thinking making plans to collaborate with other guilds to narrow down our votes so that we can prevent at least 2 or 3 areas from being completely dominated by one guild.

I don't really want to set up recruitment ads as crowding a guild with random members leads to filling it with complete assholes, which is why the guild has been so small so far, but if anyone on /jp/ can take it easy and is in freeholds or would like to support our attempt at anti-monopoly, you're definitely welcome to help out.

I'm not trying to into guild drama or anything, but I would really hate to see one guild and their 8 side guild spawns take every area and set taxes at like 10%. I just want everyone to enjoy the game, so 0% is my policy.

I gladly welcome you to the guild, but I must warn you that you may or may not like how dead the server is. Finding a group is difficult, but at the same time you are not swarmed by people and the world chat is relatively nicely paced.

Its NA server - Freeholds. Currenly the most dead server. Does promote a closer sense of community though. I'm constantly running into the same people while playing.

Its probably dumb of me to redirect you but I know there are big guilds for /a/ and /v/ in pvp servers off somewhere. I don't intend to join them though because I like my pvp restricted to organized/request only.

Server selection clearly says (PVP) next to the name to let you know its a pvp server.

If I said it wasn't another shitty korean mmorpg that tries to be WoW, I'd be lying. But it stands a good bit above all the generics floating around right now. Coming from various free to play services, I have to say I am loving just paying a monthly fee and not having to worry about horrendous service and thousands of microtransaction benefits. I'm aware that there will be a limited amount of microtransaction, but from what I've seen over at KTera its all things I would just shrug at.

The grind is there, but its not as bad as most games. You can max level in a week and then just dick around with end game stuff if you want.

I'll rephrase.

Isn't this just another Korean MMO where there's no storyline or depth to the world, which just happens to exist to facilitate grinding levels, grinding endgame gear and standing around once there's nothing left to do? Actually I did play a bit of the Japanese version and got bored pretty quickly.

I just can't get into any MMOs after FFXI. It feels like I'm playing progress quest unless I get really immersed. To get me to really love a new MMO my following expectations would mostly need to be met:

-overreaching storylines
-lots of interesting quests (not repetitive XP-reward ones, mostly just for fun+some nice item rewards)
-high quality art direction - not too cartoony, not too grimdark.
-a beautiful OST
-aesthetically pleasing character models, but nothing over the top
-absense of bloom or other shiny graphical effects
-cutscenes
-primarily party based gameplay throughout the game (otherwise I may as well play a single player RPG)
-game should be fun from the start. I shouldn't have to grind to max level, no matter how easy it is, before I start having fun.
-new content must not make old content obselete (people buying the game late should be able to enjoy everything that was released previously)
-a mature community
-should cater more to players wanting adventure and escape from reality than people who play "to win"

I could probably go on. If I spend hundreds of hours on a game it better be 11/10.

Cool starry bra incoming.

I'll give you that, definitely. Once you get past the initial allure of having to aim your abilities, Tera is basically the same shit as any other MMO.

One thing I genuinely enjoyed about FFXI was the story immersion like you mentioned, but outside of mission cut-scenes and a few group specific events (e.g. level-capped CoP missions) the game came across as a snooze-fest. Having to wait a year for a new expansion once you completed the old one is understandable, but made it really obnoxious all the same.

I've always enjoyed PvP as a means of whetting my "dynamic, fast paced content" whistle, but unfortunately the PvP on Tera essentially boils down to grinding to 60 in 3 days so you can go griefing in Lumbertown.

First, I hate this point. It makes no fucking sense. No MMO has "cool, fun quests". They're always there just to unlock something or give exp.
Anyway, my faggot ranting aside, it will always be kill x, gather x, you know. Very linear and comfortable.

>high quality art direction - not too cartoony, not too grimdark.
For sure, dude. If you've played the japanese version, then you already know, what the heck. The game has lots of problems, but the visual design is it's strongest quality, with beautiful scenarios, lots of pretty details and nice variation of environments. Although it also has it's problems, with lots of invisible walls and glitched ramps, and the camps get really repetitive using always the same walls with a campfire in the middle.

>a beautiful OST
The normal OST doesn't stand out much, but the BAM themes (there's quite a lot of them) are very good. Have you ever played Shadow of the Colossus? Some of the tracks bear striking similarities.

>aesthetically pleasing character models, but nothing over the top
The models are well made, but they all are so pushed up to one or another extreme that you have to decide this by yourself. Do you think the Elin's gigantic hips are "over the top"? Or is the absurd conglomeration of fanservice in one single character of the Castanics the "over the top"? I myself find the Castanics absurdly ridiculous, while others may think they're the epitome of coolness.

I loved FFXI and I'm enjoying Tera. Sure it's not FFXI but it keeps me entertained. I don't see how you think other mmo's are a grind when FFXI was one big grind. I remember it took me months to get my first job to 75.

Is the combat really that boring for you guys? I agree that it becomes natural after a while, but if you go back to a normal auto attack mmo you might miss it. I did a dungeon earlier where everyone in the party died at least once. You had to be paying attention to the boss to dodge his aoe or get one shotted.

They're there, they're nothing stupendous, but then again, it's a MMO, not Metal Gear. The english voices are cool, but it's always bizarre to watch they try to synch with the korean mouth movements. You can use the patch for the korean voices if you want.

>primarily party based gameplay throughout the game (otherwise I may as well play a single player RPG)
You'll have plenty of that. You can storm to level 60 alone fine, but you'll have to grind repeatables or skipable zones to compensate the experience from the BAMs (NPCs constantly give you quests to kill them) and the instance quests. And instance quests not only give good gear, but a FUCKLOAD of exp.

>game should be fun from the start. I shouldn't have to grind to max level, no matter how easy it is, before I start having fun.
Maybe you won't have fun on the beginning as a healer, since you won't have to actually heal anything until level 20... otherwise, it's all cool. Then again, what you will be doing at level 10 is the same you'll be doing at level 60, except with more BAMs that insta kill you and more skills on your bar. So if you're not enjoying to combat from the start, don't think you'll start liking it later.

Still going on.

If you play on a PvE server, that'll be about it -- obviously with it's share of MUST GET GEAR guys, you can't escape from x type of people anywhere. On the PvP servers, well, it's a korean game, it's made so people try to make the best party setups to murder each other more effectively.

I know that feel. As time goes by, the less that new games interest me. My first MMO was Ragnarok Online. Played it for several years. But never after that one did I ever play another online game with the same zeal and duration. There are some games that I've played for several months, and periodically still go back to play (Mabinogi, Megaten, an recently World of Tanks). But it's just not the same fascination as the first hit.

Though, I was able to play PSO2 CB and absolutely fell in love with it. It's a genuinely good online game. It might be too early to declare that this one won't run its novelty as quickly as the rest, but I am feeling very confident that this is the real deal. It's very well-done.

You have no idea how incredibly easy it is to 60 in this game. I'm 59 right now at 93% and am taking a browsing break right now. I don't play this game more than a few hours a day.

Day 4 of launch was when we had a 60 prime in our server. There is so much crap in this game that distracts you that you think you're leveling but you're actually slowing yourself down. Side quests are almost always not worth your time too. If you just hard push red quests you can get anywhere from 5 to 10 levels in a single day.

No thanks. As much as being on a dead server blows sometimes for finding parties and getting the brokerage to be useful at all, I really enjoy the low pop community. Also I'm a lancer so I can cross server queue for dungeons instantly no problem.

Leveling is easy but I actually did almost every quest I could. I also hated leaving group quests undone so I would sometimes stop leveling so I wouldn't out level the quests. But there are a few people on my friends list who when I met were the same level as me, but now they're way behind.

I should have hit 60 like 2 weeks ago but I get distracted easily or try to finish all the quests in an area. I guess if you really wanted to you could only do certain quests and level as fast as possible.

I wasn't saying FFXI was perfect or anything, if it was I wouldn't have quit. I'm hoping for something that's better.

>No MMO has "cool, fun quests". They're always there just to unlock something or give exp.

I meant quests should give you a sense of adventure, involving exploration, strategy and teamwork instead of killing 10 things in a field. "Go kill 10 things in a field" is worse than just straight grinding because I have to spend forever walking to get the quest and hand it in. I remember almost every quest I completed in FFXI, but hardly any from WoW. NPCs shouldn't just be soulless entities with exclamation marks above their heads either, they should be likeable, memorable characters.

I probably would be playing TERA now since there doesn't seem to be anything better, were it not for the fact that Hangame executive have downs and decided to make the subscription fee in Japan $35 per month (I'll be living there soon)... if it comes down I might consider it.

Wouldn't this make it impossible for the game to have enough quests from level 1 to max? It's cool to have a different and exciting mission here and there, but it's impossible to have this done with all one billion quests you'll be doing.
That said, I never played FFXI. I'm curious, since you talk as if they achieved such a feat.

When I played FFXI for a short stint in like 2007, it was mostly "find a group, kill monsters in said group, over and over". There wasn't really any questing or whatever to be had.

I've played RO for 6 years, and TERA is nothing like it. RO was all about the adventure of leveling up in itself. Quests only to unlock dungeons, then grab your gear, your friends, and kill stuff all night long. It was about becoming stronger slowly, not about reaching endgame and then doing things.

Personally, I like RO's style better. I'm only out because of Renewal (FUCK Renewal) and the sad cashfest it became.

Anyway, if you want to compare TERA to anything else, it's more like the forgotten son of WoW with Aion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9025921
I never meant that levelling should take place through questing, just that there should be fun quests. I accept that an MMO will generally need some cheaply implemented grind to keep people busy + subscribing. FFXI levelling was party based monster grinding.

The closest thing to what I described in FFXI would be missions, which were big important quests with cutscenes, lots of adventure, dungeon crawling and boss fights, which linked together to form part of an overarching storyline. Typically each expansion would have its own story arc. They didn't reward XP and money and item rewards were minimal, they were just worth doing in themselves. It's this kind of stuff that makes me feel like I'm playing like a real RPG online, and not just progress quest. Seeing the lack of it in other MMOs makes me feel disappointed and not feel like playing.

Ah I remember the time when I was playing FFXI

I was pretty much into story missions and quests and I did all that I could do. But frankly most of them are pretty shallow and boring, like get 10 onions or 5 crab meat. Lot of running around and rarely any good reward.

A few quests were insanely difficult (Maat's cap, or the Monk's Black Belt) or required an exaggerate amount of farming.

There were a few that were worth it, with interesting story, but not very much.

I got max rank in all three nations too, and then I finished all the missions of Zilart, CoP and Aht Urghan.

I have yet to decide on that. I don't even have a place to put the thing on display, as it's my first fig.
I just wanted to point out that you did not break it.

I just took a look at some photos from the packaging of the fig and it has the ahoge intact in there. They must have broken it themselves.

Oh wow, that's nostalgic. One of the few things BST were useful for endgame.

It failed

[Anonymous No.]

Later on they were good for pulling SCNM mobs out from behind a ton of aggro to more favorable locations for fighting, but that wasn't until mid-late WotG. Still, it's kind of sad that's the only legitimate use they ever came up with for BST. I really enjoyed the job and took it to 75 long before Astral Flow burns or Abyssea power leveling were the EXPing method of choice, but it never really got much use. I usually was playing as my PLD, WHM, or DRG in endgame.

Photos? Mine only came with the fig, foam and box. The ahoge from mine didn't break, but a one of the strands of her hair.

Apparently it's 1-per-person (that is, the person who already owns the game) and only a service available to European subscribers. You can play it outside the country though, it worked fine for me in the US. The lag might be pretty horrid in Latin America, though, and good luck finding an invite from somebody.

On the website.

Now that's something far worse. Mine only has the ahoge and the sparks from the scepter broken.

I'm still waiting for mine. I thought it would arrive today but no such luck.

So, what is the story on the broken pieces? Is it just that the owner is supposed to attach them (a la a traditional GK) or is this definitely a defect on E2046's end?

[Anonymous No.]

Well, at least from what I saw most large endgame LSes had dissolved. Mine was one of the last on Unicorn (merged to Fenrir) and even we ended up breaking mostly. Last I checked 3 members were left out of our 25+ solid base that we had going for around 6 years I think.

Basically, Abyssea was great content in and of itself outside a few minor gripes, but progression was too fast. They tried to change FFXI's content delivery to something more akin to WoW where gear is obtained relatively fast, but then Tanaka came back to the FFXI dev team and stuff slowed down again.

Now, this doesn't necessarily sound like something that would destroy the community but Abyssea so so ridiculously easy to low-man that a lot of people were actually buying second accounts and "soloing" endgame content with multiple characters. This took down most of the LSes with weaker bonds between their members because, you know, why wait in line for gear when you can just go get it for yourself?

For long established LSes like mine, we just ran out of content to do. Eventually people got bored and left because we just didn't have fun anymore. We kept things interesting over the years by rotating content and doing a little bit of everything. With Abyssea the old content became obsolete and pointless for us to run anymore so by the time we finished Abyssea, we had nothing to do but Voidwatch. Voidwatch could have been nice, but it just wasn't enough and plus we had already lost about half our LS by that point. Also, the loot system for it was terrible.

The image right there, and also the photo of the original unpainted GK, shows the ahoge intact. It's definitely on their end.

The ears were facing the top of the box along with the ahoge. That makes me think whoever put the foam there should have been more careful, or the head should have been in another position.

Cont'd

Overall, the game has taken a turn toward being a lot more about smaller groups and less about large groups for endgame content. If you were wanting to go back, I'd say sure. Go for it. It's a lot more accessible now and leveling is a breeze compared to how it used to be. Going from level 30 to 99 in a day or two of moderate playing isn't unheard of or even uncommon. Over the past few years there have been a lot of improvements overall. My only gripe is that they finally did what they refused to do for years--outright make old content and gear obsolete. I don't even mind my old gear being useless, but giving us no reason to do old content and then making the new content extremely fast to progress through by comparison just left us with nothing to do.

That said, I would probably go back in a few more months to see the new rehashes of old content and how they did it if my LS were still around. After years of endgame and being an elitist jerk in a pretty good LS, I doubt I'd be happy playing around in pick-ups.

I cant afford monthly fees.
I mean, I could, but I have too many figures to buy.
And knowing hotglue, they probably stopped playing this already.

I used to play this on EU with Pettan Co but dropped it because I couldn't handle the circlejerk. God it was horrible. Basically Gaia without the emoticons.

I just wanted to play with Anonymouses who call each other faggots all day and tell each other to go kill themselves.

Your fault for thinking a 4chan guild was going to be anything but shitty.

I'd prefer people being nice to each other than being horrible. 4chan would be better if bitter, angry, antisocial people kept to themselves.

Back when I played WoW in middle/high school I used to steal my time cards from wallmart all the time until they changed it to pay-up-front. Fuck blizzard and fuck monthly payments.

Level 49 berserker playing with TFT. Its a pretty good guild. To bad /jp/ is a cesspool of neets, you guys will never enjoy being in a guild that bans for emotes.

Also enjoy this random picture of an Elin.

I really don't see why you'd consider it a circlejerk. Are you one of those people who thinks any group of people who know each other but not you are a circlejerk?

Because /vg/ told him it was a circle jerk. He probably doesnt even know what the term means.

I'm like $100 away from being able to afford a PC good enough for this game.
But with no job, and no autism bucks.
What the fuck can I do, tempted to go hit the streets and rent my ass out to some old pedo for the night.

Theres not much meme spam though. I think >implying is the most common.

Is there a guild that bans underaged kids? I think it would solve 80% of the problems.

Finally people are beginning to realize that a plain GvG endgame isn't enough to drive interest of the players for longer than a week.

Tera should have released with the latest expansion included.

I deleted my Tera game folder today. Feels pretty good, too. MMORPGs are a waste of time, even with a sexy and beautiful loli Elin as character.

>>9029786
I hope they start releasing the endgame content they withheld soon. I'm not sure why they waited to release it, maybe to wait for more people to hit 60?

When I was your age, we had to sit outside of schools and wait for our lolis. We had to buy Vans and cages and ether. It was expensive. These days this shit gets steamed to you for a mear 15 dollars a month. You should stop being to spoiled.

I play on a PvP server and as terrible as the people on here are, I can't not commend them on their ability to take it easy.
Every time I feel like mindlessly killing people, win or lose, I get a "good fight" and give one as well.
Usually everyone just cries.

Does anyone still play on the /jp/ guilds? I am a member of both and I play both (and thus I am underleveled on both) but it seems like everyone is offline for the most part.

...I bought this game with all my money to play with you guys. Please be my friends. ;_;

I just bought Tera. I was having a good chat with the cashier about anime too, he seemed like a nice guy.

So how do I join a guild? Join the Freeholds server, and then what? I couldn't use the social aspect of the game in the trial, so I didn't become acquainted with it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9032082
Through the social menu, guilds on server, find the guild name and apply. The /jp/ based guilds are on Dragonfall and Basilisk Crag. I think someone that posted here has a guild on Freeholds.
