Absolutely.

Don't tempt me devil woman! I have weak impulse control right now. Waiting on GW2 and it sounds like i'll have plenty long enough to enjoy Tera.
What's the guild situation like. I kind of have to play these sorts of games with other people to enjoy.
I didn't like Aion and I like Tera. I think there are some good chances you would like Tera also!
I play on Valley of Titans (PVP server) with TFT so there are plenty of people around. I think WANG on Dragonfall (PVE) has a fair amount of people as well

Playing a lancer and soloing those big suckers is so satisfying. Sure, I don't do much damage, but I am an immovable force, slowly whittling away at the enemy's health.
... I like this game.
SUCCESSFUL RUN!
I'm level 21, and almost at the suggested gear level for it
In the queue tool it lists the suggested item level of the dungeon at 33
also covers pretty well for people that have not learned left click is not your main damage ability
Oh, look at that... I'm above it anyways, so at least randoms didn't look down on me because of my gear score while I was the only one alive tanking the boss
I'm dead serious."

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
This shit is sooooooooo tedious.
I fully ignored info about this game (And all other MMOs) to prevent me from getting back into one.
Though I have heard of the world PVP in this game. Being an 11 year veteran of UO world pvp is my thang.
Also the ability to go to war with another guild is a UO thing, and I haven't really seen it in an MMO since. =(
Also the combat system seems cool, I don't know a lot about it but it seems to me more fun and skill based than tab targeting and rotating cooldowns.
Anyways, as a lifetime pvper who has grown to hate modern PVP what are your thoughts? Should I lower my mouse button onto the "Buy Now" button?
Though, be forewarned that the majority of us duders play on a pve server. There are some of us that play on a pvp server, Delphinidaes would be the one to know more about that side of the game.
Hrmm, on the PVE servers I imagine that you can flag for pvp right? and also, can guilds do battle on a pve server and just have those people perma-flagged for pvp? That would be a bit like UO's setup. I hate getting ganked when questing but do still want lots-o-world pvp at max.
You're going to just LOVE starting out in Sinestral Mansion soon ...
Then I got to fly to the other continent. I hit up Kaiator and Allemanthia. Kaiator looks baws from the outside and Allemanthia looks amazing! Also, dragon instead of pegasus when leaving Kaiator. How sweet is that?
I also got my Archer alt off the Island of Dawn and am probably going to switch up my Sorc alt for a Priest alt. I think I would rather have at least one character that doesn't have to wait for 20mins in the dungeon queue.
Thinking about trying this, but dont want to spend 50 bucks to do so.
No trial just yet. Though one could say they entire beta phase we had was a trial soooo
It just released, so no. There was an OBT prior to release you could have tried out. My guess is it'll be a few months at least until they have a free trial.
I believe the point of end game in this is that you'll be forced to PvP, in order to gain access to PvE. Either that or be friendly with everyone.
It could use castle sieges and perhaps some better penalties on death, but right now your options are pretty limited for open PvP so it's a good choice. You just missed two open beta periods in a row.
How's that cloth map lookin to ya @Glal? :winky:
FYI The PVP system is as follows.
After Level 11 you can flag yourself as an outlaw using a skill you get from a Quest in Velika (Main city).
As an outlaw everyone in the world turns red to you and you can attack them at will provided you are outside safe zones (Safezones include cities and most quest camps)
As an outlaw you turn red to everyone in the world and they can attack you without flagging themselves as an outlaw.
What this means is you can attack whoever you want, however the citizens can then band together against you easily and kill you. (Much how I imagine it would work in a fantasy setting) So you end up having roving bands of outlaws who prey upon people as they quest and you have people who fight back against them whenever they can.
GVG is pretty straightforward. You guild can declare war upon another guild and all members of both guilds are flagged red to eachother. They can attack eachother at any time outside of safezones. (Additionally in a GvG conflict there is a Red arrow above an enemies head to differentiate them from outlaws)
As the war wages you gain points for killing enemies (1 for members, 10 for guild leaders) at the end of the conflict (which last 24 hours) whoever has more point wins. You can only declare war on 3 guild at a time I think, however there is no limit to the number of guilds that can declare war on you.
A couple other things to note:
Because of the nature of the combat and the lack of tab targeting it is actually much more balanced in pvp than I have seen in other mmos. A high level character can still gank a low level character, however if the low level character is clever and avoids all the attack from the high level character they can often escape.
I typically despise PvP in mmos because of how easy it is for high level players to gank lowbies whenever they feel like it. However I have hd an absolute blast in TERA.
Hopefully that answers some questions. Here is a video of a GvG conflict I was involved with with where we waited on a cliffside for the enemy forces, engaged them, routed them and chased them back into town. If you look closely you can see my character (Delphi) the Black haired Ram Elin Slayer in there.
