This game sorely needs some content. Some stuff to do other then grind gear. I hopped on to Aion again for the first time in two years and it's amazing that despite being so old there's just so much content in that game. From minipets to player housing to costumes and the like, not to mention the hoards of dailies now available. I know TERA is brand new but I want all that content noowwww. :(

The problem being that Tera is NOT brand new. It's nearly 1 and a half years old in Korea. There aren't excuses for how thin the content is in this game at endgame.

Having a level 60 Hard Mode version of all instances starting with Sinestral Manor would have definitely helped.

Having 2 instances to grind tier 12 for so you can then grind those 2 instances a billion times so you can +9 your gear so you can grind the same 2 instances on Hard Mode to grind tier 13 so you can grind those same 2 fucking instances another billion times so you can .......AAAAAAAAAHHH NO MORE.

Yes, theres Kelsaik but no one ever does him and Temple of Temerity is a sick joke.

With yesterday's news about the Korean version I dont have much faith in Tera. I really liked the gameplay too, damn it.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I'm letting my sub lapse. They broke Win 8 compatibility and they said they're not working on a fix because the OS is in beta and it's not supported. I'm not going to shut everything down and boot into Win 7 every time I want to play.

If they ever get it working again I might consider resubbing.

If anyone is interested in getting TERA, I have a Collector's account that I don't think I'll be using again. I did really enjoy the game, but Dota 2 pulled me back with the Store being released and all.

Has a 56 Archer and 35 or something Warrior on Valley of Titans.

Has all the Pre-Order stuff, Golden Skins and Facebook promotion stuff.
Only things I used were the Green Mask from Amazon.com and Pirate Hat on my Archer.

I'd be looking for 50 bucks, since I'm not looking to make profit and trying to give a good deal to someone looking to start playing TERA. I'll take Steam games, TF2 items(you may be sitting on some Earbuds, Bill's Hat or Max Severed Head unaware of what they're worth), Paypal.

I wasn't playing on the GAF Guild, but someone might remember my Archer, Wilde, saying "omg it's GAF" as that was my normal reaction when I saw GAF Guild running around.

Baahh, I really hope this game won't fail. Game is good, everything works so well, from the gameplay to the art direction, they need to fix just the endgame, it will suck so bad if bankrupts before this one flaw is fixed.

They wouldn't be going towards F2P if they were bleeding red ink. From what I've read, the plan was to break even from the NA/EU launch of Tera and they met their launch projections. So from this point forward the game operates at a profit even if their playerbase continues to shrink. The money we gave to EME and Frogster ensured the game won't die, but now it's up to Bluehole to get off their asses and start adding an endgame. They've had almost 1.5 years in Korea to do it already!

Man... I hit the wall with this game running through some Level 30 mines and while trying to skip mobs I ended up getting hit by like 50 spells @ once and died... was a week ago and I haven't logged in since... heck I'm even back into WoW for the first time in 17 months. I'm not even @ end game but the enchanting system has already pissed me off just trying to get something to +5 of all things... and seeing how it works and how you have to continue to grind the same 2 dungeons over and over to enchant gear... Queen of Argon Pt 2 looks promising... if it's late summer I'll check it out again... I still have 2 months of subscription left.

New TERA event starting this weekend:

Raiders of the Lost Eggs
Centuries ago, a vast trove of magical eggs vanished from Sikander's vaults while he slumbered. Priests blamed rival gods, the gods blamed greedy mortals, and the poporis simply wanted to know if the eggs tasted good. The eggs resurfaced recently, and a troop of caiman thieves seems determined to pocket the precious treasures wherever they turn up. While no one considers caimans the brightest candles on the cake, these bandits always know where to find one of the magical eggs. Why the caimans want the eggs remains anyone's guess, but the race is on to recover them and snatch the fabulous treasures inside.

As with all legends, details about the eggs are scarce, but everyone agrees that three grades of eggs exist—bronze, silver, and gold. Most carry potent consumables, rare crystals, or whimsical accoutrements, but rumors persist of exceptional gifts. Find the caiman thieves, defeat them, and claim these unusual treasures of Sikander for yourself!

The hunt is on!

Event Duration
  • Start: Friday, June 29, 2012
  • End: Sunday, July 8, 2012

Event Times
  • Weekdays (Monday through Friday): 5–9 p.m. PDT
  • Weekends (Saturday and Sunday): midnight to 11:59 p.m. PDT

Nice try EME. Having the event start the day most preorder subs end in order to try to get people to renew. You think you're being clever but you're not EME, purposely having patches and events starting right at the end of the month to force renewal is not a strategy that works more than once on people who aren't idiots.

As George W. Bush would say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...uh...well, you're ashamed!"

I'll buy it and post screenshots because I love pointless virtual goods. And yeah, you have to be able to ride it on Island of Dawn or else that bullet point would be pointless.
