Tera trending as anticipated PC game

April 2nd, 2012

Before Diablo III drops later next month, TERA is trending as one of the more anticipated titles coming to PC within the next 30 days. May 1 to be exact.

In case you haven't heard, the game is being billed as "an MMORPG with Non-Targeting battle mode, which means a player no longer has to target a certain monster to hit it, giving this MMORPG a realistic feel," and so far, pre-release reception has been favorable.

But what do you think? Picking this up before Diablo III arrives? Or are you sticking to something else in the interim (or beyond)?

Official game description

Tera is the first true action MMORPG. What does that mean? Tera provides all the depth of any MMOquests, crafting, an intricate plot, PvP, and more-combined for the first time with the satisfaction and skill of a console action game. No more are you confined to tabbing and then standing around and eating a sandwich while taking on a boss. You're at the center of the action, hitting where you aim and reacting in real-time to dodge and move out of the way when attacked. In Tera, skill and substance combine for an entirely new MMORPG experience.

  • Enter the world of Tera as one of seven player races, each with its own history, lore, and point of view. These are the races of the Valkyon Federation, leading the way into a new era of unity as they face a battle for their very existence.
  • The eight player classes of Tera each contribute their own style of combat, their own method and approach to tactics, and their own unique abilities in solo and group play. Get to know them here-their fighting styles, their tools, and their talents.
  • Tera is a world born of conflict. It's a place where gods scheme, armies clash, and the world can change in the blink of an eye. Thousands of years have passed since the two titans, Arun and Shara, lay down and dreamed the world and its inhabitants.
  • Your enemies are many and varied. Some are strong, some are intelligent-all are dangerous. Consider this your pre-mission briefing on beasts and bad guys. Get to know them, where they come from, and how they fight.
  • The world of Tera began millennia ago when two titans of unimaginable power, Arun and Shara, met in a formless void. For reasons we can only guess, they fell asleep. And as they slept, Tera took shape around them.

Ooh, tough call... I think that I'll stick with Diablo III for the time being; this will, hopefully, still be there when I'm through with Diablo.

i heard from people that played the beta that it's as bad as Aion, and Aion was bad...

I don't try to be awesome, It's natural! So are potatoes, potatoes are natural :l

I haven't really heard about this one to be honest, so I guess I'll stick with Diablo III

The beta was decent, but DIII is higher on my list still. I may get around to it in a year.

Been playing on the beta's. Its a legit game. Graphics are beautiful. It kinda has a God of War feel to it and is very addictive. I dont understand why people have to choose between D3 and tera. play both of them! ;)

I won't be picking this up. I'll probably be playing Diablo III with friends when that comes out.

I might get Diablo 3. I wanted to get Tera but I will probably just be wasting money. The last 2 p2p MMOs I bought I only played for the initially month and didn't sub. I don't think Tera will be any different with this trend. At least with Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 I don't have to pay a sub for either to play them after the first month.

My friends and I have been waiting too long for D3 to be sidetracked by another MMORPG now! Bad luck for TERA though, it was a lot of fun.

Logic has no place here...

Tera is great, but people are quickly bored to always see the same mechanics as in other MMOs. :(
