Tera ~ My Evolving Thoughts On The Game

Despite running into different server issues, having my internet/cable connection compromised while playing, and finding bugs in the gameplay I still commit a decent amount of daily time progressing in Tera on the PS4. It's an MMORPG that has it's fair share of flaws, but that really shines where it shines. As I've said so often before the experience takes the usually complex MMORPG UI (user interface), and streamlines it in such a way as to make playing it less of a tedious task, and more of a casual in and out experience. Currently the only real problems I see with the game are the frequent server issues such as access to servers not working, and players automatically being thrust into a server upon login without initial choice. There's that, and a dire need for some sort of aided direction when it comes to questing as often times NPCs do not appear as they should or are so obscured from view it's like hunting for a needle in a haystack. I suggested some sort of guiding light like Monster Hunter World's scout flies. I think that would be the perfect solution. Maybe even a way to toggle on or off ground arrows when you find yourself lost.

Even with all these complaints, and issues I think Tera was a brilliantly developed take on the old MMO formula. It is, in a lot of ways, more user friendly than most MMORPGs on the market. This more user friendly approach to design, and the overall attractive qualities of Tera will no doubt make it a hit in due time. I just hope the servers don't become too stressed from traffic, and that En Masse can keep up with the game's player growth. I highly suggest you giving the game a try if you haven't already. It is free to play, and rewards the gamer handsomely enough without a real world cent being spent. I will be spending more time with Tera, and as the game changes and evolves so too may my own opinions of it. I heard through the grapevine that Tera will be getting an update soon to the characters, and in-game offerings. Definitely stay tuned for that!
