Ans dear,
I never claimed it's bad.
In fact I have pre-ordered it months ago. I was also a Focus Group Tester on the NA version for years and was included in all their previous tests and I do agree that it brings something new into the genre that is genuinely refreshing. But the quest design is awful, honestly. Kill this kill that. Developers should have long realized players need a little more variety.
I have played every single TERA Beta and left the CBT's with a Level 38 (cap) slayer. It was very fun.
But while I agree TERA is a great game, I don't see it up to par with Guild Wars 2 where I believe the immersion and pure variety of choices and activities is more appealing. To me at least but that's yet to be tested.
I have pre-purchased both:
Guild Wars 2 and TERA
we'll see what I like better, for now I'm gonna stick to TERA until GW2 comes and that is still quite far away.
Just a couple badasses :D
