Free to play Tera is getting flying guild fortresses - Sensationalist Headlines

I really had alot of fun playing this game, no 1-9 tab targeting spam or whatever, what drove me on to keep playing was grabbing armors and mix matching them through the remodeler NPC to get cool unique looks. Then the rise of cashshop cosmetics came in.. at first they were ehhh now every where you go there's toons half naked and like whoever still plays the game are mostly made of people playing the Elins or the little girl race. There's a police car mount in the game, I don't even know why what. It has the siren and lights and everything why

Elins or not, the game itself plays just fine, especially for a free to play game.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;47236377]You pretty much just used the "but they're 1000 years old" argument[/QUOTE] For the record I still find them creepy but the fact that the lore says they don't have sex in any way shape or form certainly makes it [i]a lot less so[/i] than if they had said "yeah the ewoks and the animal girls bone" anyhow the combat is way better than hotkey trash that floods the genre and it was fun for a while, but I never really stick around with one game very long so I eventually stopped playing it. Might still pick it up again at some point with my group

[QUOTE=itisjuly;47230963]How's the f2p model in TERA?[/QUOTE] To me it seems as if the only real purchasable thing's if you wish your char to be more perverted looking. I've gotten a character a fair bit up the levels and gotten a good adventure out of it.

[QUOTE=Cone;47239501]pretty much negated by the fact that they're wearing bikinis though[/QUOTE] Mostly playing devil's advocate here because again I definitely do find them creepy, but those are a cash shop outfit that every female race has, not just Elins. Most of their outfits look more like this: [thumb]http://teracodex.com/images/screenshots/21498/1120_21498.jpg[/thumb] and they are generally more covered than the other races, even in the less censored version, ie this is the same armour set for castanic females and elins: [thumb]http://blog-imgs-42.fc2.com/e/c/h/echo2656/FC2_Echo_tera_amm_rt006.jpg[/thumb][thumb]http://blog-imgs-42.fc2.com/e/c/h/echo2656/FC2_Echo_tera_amm_rt145.jpg[/thumb]

tera is the only mmo rpg worth playing currently

[QUOTE=formatme;47239650]tera is the only mmo rpg worth playing currently[/QUOTE] Only thing I've heard of Tera is that compared to other MMO's it's insanely grindy.

[QUOTE=booster;47239660]Only thing I've heard of Tera is that compared to other MMO's it's insanely grindy.[/QUOTE] As someone who has played a LOT of MMOs, that's true of pretty much all of them.

[QUOTE=formatme;47239650]tera is the only mmo rpg worth playing currently[/QUOTE] Personally I'd say there's frankly too many MMOs worth playing. PE is interesting for the real money economy, ESO for voice acted quests and a good degree of customization within an open world mmo, and POE for being a diablo-style action rpg with an [i]insane[/i] amount of customization with no pay to win. I'm sure there's a few others I'm forgetting but I definitely do think TERA was pretty fun.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;47239964]Well, I can understand these swimsuits since they were promotional items for the summer. However this is the issue: [t]http://a.pomf.se/suzyqf.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Looks like they're in an inferno or something. Gotta cool off for the heat somehow, man. Nothing sexual about it, honestly.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;47240024][img]http://puu.sh/giBou/b98fb71a8a.png[/img][/QUOTE] Woosh.

I really don't see the point of arguing it YEARS after the fact. By now you either know that you care about it or you don't.

From my experience of TERA, on Tempest Reach, about 80% of the community is Elin. and I was the only male High elf on the planet. The games too clunky for my tastes, and the PVP is kinda bad.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;47231805]Isn't this the game that has an entire race of half-naked children? [editline]/[/editline] Yup... [t]http://i.imgur.com/nIipa.jpg[/t] So basically, "they're not children, they're five hundred year old witches." [editline]/[/editline] lmao they're an all female race too. Go friggen figure.[/QUOTE] Hahaa this was literally the most fun part of TERA Since there's next to no moderation in the game, me and my friend created the guild "Sexy elins" and went about being creepy pedophiles. Selling elin slaves and whatnot, we really did stir shit up in the general chat. [editline]2nd March 2015[/editline] Also, just nitpicking, but I'm fairly sure only the eastern releases of the game has underwear that skimpy. The western releases are somewhat more censored.

Sure the elins are pretty bad because they're everywhere and you will never get away from them, but for the most part the entire art direction is just plain bland and uninspired. The bunny slope starts off killing stuff like slimes and things, ends with killing actually cool looking demons, and then before you can say "wow this is actually kinda cool" it sticks you in some boring open area with trolls, slimes, random scantily-clad women, and other generic monsters standing around that you need to kill for fetch quests. It's not terrible, and it's free, but unless you have some friends it's just plain boring most of the time.

People are still bitching about the Elin race in this game? Holy fuck, don't you guys think that boat has long since sailed?

So this is where 'Elin honey' came from.

[QUOTE=booster;47239660]Only thing I've heard of Tera is that compared to other MMO's it's insanely grindy.[/QUOTE] The grind during leveling is definitely the 54-60 part. That is literally the worst because the zones they put you in have mobs that have tons of health and give shit exp. The reason for it is back when it was only in Korea that was the end-game zone and the level cap was 58 so everything was substantially harder in that zone until they started releasing all the Argon stuff which is hilariously easy when you compare it.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;47241514]nice, got all the creeps coming out of the woodwork for this thread, it's like a magnet[/QUOTE] I'd like you to show me exactly where in that post I supported the game at all.

Played recently with my friend for few hours, feels like any other MMO...

[QUOTE=itisjuly;47236377]You pretty much just used the "but they're 1000 years old" argument[/QUOTE] except I'm saying they're not sexualized, not that it's ok to sexualize them because they're not technically children. wearing a swimsuit means you're going swimming, not that you're ready to fuck.
