to be honest, TERA combat was predictable as fuck and it gets tedious over time...some crazy shits happen but that's maybe 1/100 runs that I did in HM... If we screwed up, we got pissed and shit. Not enjoyable. Maybe a fun pvp? But tera has a shit engine that caused massive lag..so I dunno. And since its gonna be a fucking grind anyhow, I'd rather it be I dunno...button smash.This.
That video looked like crap. Sure it looked shiny, but I assume we're looking at it from the tank's perspective and he just stood there clicking on his hotbar. Then we saw the dps and he just stood there clicking on whatever ability came off of cooldown.
So combat is this:
Stand still.
Click on whatever is off cooldown.
Win.

There was a reason I played FFXI for like 7 years and on the same server with almost the same linkshell the whole time (I did quit a few times, moved around a little with linkshells, but always the same people); it was the community. You're right, some of my favorite moments were just spending a couple hours grinding on mobs with friends while shooting the shit the whole time. WoW certainly doesn't have that.. it never will, especially with cross server stuff going on. Now your server is an after thought. The people you group with? Who cares, you'll never see them again.The slow pace really allows you to socialize with your party and linkshell/guild, which for me is one of the biggest things lacking in modern MMOs.
Both EQ and FFXI put huge importance on grouping. Some of my fondest memories of FFXI are shooting the shit while chaining crabs/flies in Valkurm Dunes leveling sub classes.
Everyone is used to the fast paced, WoW-style combat and group content - that it may be too late to go back.
isnt this gonna be on ps3? my friend was thinking about trying it too but only if its on console.Cant wait to play this
Yes it will be.isnt this gonna be on ps3? my friend was thinking about trying it too but only if its on console.
I used to sit in a giant recliner in front of the tv and play FFXI all day, best feeling in the world.Yes. You can also play characters between PC and PS3 with the same account but you will need to buy separate copies of the game. Unless you already bought the PC version then you will just need to get a PS3 copy. Can't wait to play this in my recliner!
Wide leg computer desk plus lazyboy is just pure win.I used to sit in a giant recliner in front of the tv and play FFXI all day, best feeling in the world.
Never understood how people that use their computer a lot have some of the most uncomfortable looking chairs Ive ever seen. Your lazyboy setup sounds nice. Overkill, but nice. Haha!Wide leg computer desk plus lazyboy is just pure win.
I have been living the dream for years
I made the switch about a year ago. Built a new gaming rig and made sure my video card had HDMI out (most do nowadays). Grabbed a wireless keyboard, mouse, and headset, hooked the PC up to the TV, and bought a recliner. Absolutely love it.Never understood how people that use their computer a lot have some of the most uncomfortable looking chairs Ive ever seen. Your lazyboy setup sounds nice. Overkill, but nice. Haha!
