Hi my name is Susi and I'm addicted to MMOs. I picked up TERA last Thursday and haven't been able to stop playing since. I have a severe case of altoholism, but this time I decided to stick to one character until I hit 60 and then make an alt. After debating my way through which class I should play, I realized characters were mostly stuck in their roles, so I picked a Priest. Primarily so that I can group later on (without having to wait 30min+ for a group), and I always end up playing a healer so might as well just start with one. Edyarea was my first character in the original Everquest, a high elf Cleric. I tend to remake her any chance I can. So behold! The new Edyarea!
I journey into the game and play the first couple levels. The first thing you notice about TERA is how beautiful it is. The female characters are a bit... under-clothed, but have some very pretty outfits. The world itself is a joy to look at. I can see why people think WoW looks terrible now, with so many pretty MMOs coming out. Honestly the beauty of TERA reminds me a bit of Rift. I was impressed with how pretty the world in Rift looks as well.

So in most other MMOs your quick travel is either a teleport or riding on a mount of some sort in a set path. TERA does have some teleportation but they also included Pegasus flight paths.

So ya I was thinking the Pegasus look cool. Pretty anyway, and I happen to really like pretty things and flying horsies. But then something awesome happened.

| Pegasus! Enable WARP DRIVE!! |
OH YEAH! Warp drive Pegasus! I thought it was pretty neat, and it does make the flight paths a little faster. I just chuckle every time I go through one of these. It feels like space MMO meets fantasy MMO.
That's all about TERA for now folks. Next time I'll talk about combat, group play, and why healing is mildly more entertaining in this game. Stay tuned!
PS if you are playing and would like a Priest buddy I'm level 24 right now on Freeholds. Character name is Edyarea

I downloaded TERA right as D3 came out, and I've yet to play either of them. After reading this post, pretty sure TERA *will* be getting some love today, if it's the last thing I do!
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you've had a chance to try TERA. The combat is a lot of fun, and the main story quests starts to get pretty interesting when you get further into the game. Thanks for your comments. I hope you continue to enjoy reading my blog. :)
