Anyone here?

So is this game any good? I was thinking of picking it up this weekend, to me it looks like Vindictus but more open world....ish.

So please post some of your thoughts of the game, I am a big MMO player but so far nothing has really been able to hold me for more than a month, Star Wars, Rift, Aion.

This one looks interesting only because it is not the normal auto target button mash, plus the classes look very cool..ie the lancer :-)

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 )

PvP sure is much trickier then usual target games, I often try to pull trick swings to force my opponents to burn their dodges, or as a zerker I dont always charge at full to throw the usual rythm off balance, so yeah again much more skill based.

I've had to deal with lancers lately who just made me facepalm, blocking in the wrong direction, heck not generating threat at all cuz all they do is..... block in the wrong direction and die soon after, i figured it illustrated very well how some people might have issues adapting to the game when they thought they were pretty big shots in games such as WoW where orientation and collision mechanics are mostly irrelevant (and btw, surviving there wasn't hard, my Axe Block kept me alive, just sucked i had to tank every single boss in the instance for that sucky lancer)

Long-time warrior tank from WoW, playing a Lancer now and loving it.

Generating enough threat is actually pretty tricky without mashing attack and taking tons of damage I think, but I have seen people block in the wrong direction on a few occasions

I love how good the game looks too, particularily on my 3 monitors !

Nice, I'm only 34 now, I haven't really had a lot of time to play after work lately.
People whine about berserkers sucking in PvP but they have no idea. Berserkers wreck people in team fights, and are much better DPS endgame than a slayer (in Korea at least).
The only archer class I've really enjoyed was Shadow Warrior in Warhammer Online (tons of fun). I think my alt is gonna be a priest or a slayer. Elves lead the way!

My name's Sabylla on Jagged Coast server if anyone else is playing there.
