don't bother..tera currently doesn't have any endgame so once you hit lvl cap all you can do is enchant gear.

What the heck is wrong with devs..Dont they realise they need a end game to keep mmorpgs going..Look at star wars at least it has four raids atm..An 1,4 will bring more raids to the table..Thats why half the mmorpgs out there epic fail in the end..Its also why eq was successful along with wow..Had a end game

It's a shame that most players just care about end-game isn't it.

A game can be great all the way through, but if the end-game or ending is of lower quality then the game gets bashed, which is wrong imo.

I agree with ur post though that MMO devs need to have end-game raids ready to go.

When you can reach the end-game within a day...and then there's no end-game....that's a problem. The majority of MMOs are guilty of this, theme park or not. I remember back in the glory days of L2, it took you literally months of no-lifing to reach max level on a character. And then you had to do it all over again on your subclass...but every time you leveled up if felt so rewarding. And the open PvP and sieges were guaranteed end-game...

That is true too QQ, these days an MMO is too easy to level up. I say go back to the days when DYING meant LOOSING XP.

The game has great combat, visuals and enemies but the questing system is nothing new. The grind isn't too bad either.

It is nothing like WoW, but it is your typical korean grind fest. While it doesnt take that long to hit cap, you will be grinding quests over and over and over, the same boring ones. Also, at endgame,....there is none. As the other poster said you run dungeons 500x to get enough mats to enchant your gear. The combat and graphics is the only thing TERA has going for it.

the game has plenty of endgame..... hardmode dungeons, nexus events, guild v guild, the vanarch political system. TERA is about as unique an MMO as has come out in a while. It does just about everything different from the run of the mill carebear MMOs of recent years.

All games have grind fest..You guys crack me up with this..Dont care if its final fantasy games or elder scrolls..Your grinding out a lvl..Nothing will change here not for years so get used to it..Thats what a mmorpg is about..Getting quests going out to do them..Even guild wars to will have some what a grind..Elder scrolls oniine will do the same..Even stradegy games have quests..Hell my wife plays sims..Thats a grind game in itself..Just with a different hood..So give me a break an get used to grinding..Stop using this term..If your a gamer your used to grinding..Even some shooters have a grind to it.Dues x for instance..

Losing XP....aah, that damned 4% back in old L2, one death meant hours upon hours of grinding lost. Combine that with open PvP/PK....and you had to be smart about xping solo.

Farming PvPs/PKs on botting enemies and de-leveling them was a favourite pasttime back then....the program was stupid enough to auto-accept ressurections...

It would have to be done right, but these days in an MMO death doesn't mean much, so people just go for it without planning or consequences. I say bring back the XP Lost when dead and players will think twice when combat appears....it also makes the combat more intense.

Most favorite thing for haters to say about all new MMO's whether they have played them or not. Get a new schtick.

We would all love your assessment as to how this game is a WoW knock off. Give it your best shot buddy......

The fact that it emulates virtually every aspect of WoW's gameplay from questing, to dungeon crawling, the UI is borrowed from WoW, the approach to the world releated story system is identical to WoW, the fantasy setting itself is mostly borrowed from WoW...want me to go on? If The Secret World with it's classless, levelless modern world setting has the courage to do things differently, why can't anyone else? P.S., I'm so far from being your 'buddy' that it's beyond the realms of scientific analysis....

Oooh. How does the CLASSLESS and LEVELESS Levels work in Secret World?

I really want to try it out but I've heard the combat is bad.

I haven't played it yet so I'm not sure but they say that it gives you more freedom to approach your character the way you want instead of following a set path determined by levelling and classes.

Sounds interesting, specially the leveless levels.... wonder how they work. I LOVE the setting, for once an MMO that isn't fantasy and trying something different. Hopefully it's a hit.
