Well I can't say I tried Vindicus
Dakronn, I thought my mmo days had ended when I stopped playing WoW tbh. Boy was I wrong, I came to TERA cuz its been forever since the last Monster Hunter game and thought it looked similar, and to my surprise I wasn't all that far from the truth.
What sold the game to me was its gameplay (which I still love after 3 beta phases and a bit more then a week of playing) and its compabity to all sorts of gamers. I myself don't really like to play with a keyboard so being able to use a PS3/Xbox controller is amazing.
The whole collision thing is also much more involving then those other targeting game styles, and the skill factor plays a bigger part then the gear part most of the time (at least I went toe to toe with other berserkers that had better weaponry and still had more control of the field then them).
PvP is also well developed, server type aside in terms of open world pvp, you have the obvious duels, the upcoming battlefields, the arena style system if you wanna be president but don't want to campaign through votes, and the server wide guild vs guild declarations of war (there is only 1 faction with all races in it but guild wars let you create factions at will since you can also add guild alliances in the mix)
Anyway should you guys be curious and wanna know more feel free to ask me anything I'll reply whenever I'm not at work or with my gf
If you guys wanna tag along, then I'm under this name (Acatia) on the Frost Reach server (medium low population atm so no queue for us

)
