They need to release a healing class on par with Gunner and Brawler and render all other classes obsolete already.

I think TERA's combat system will always be the big thing that will keep it alive even if other games do graphics/kMMO/T&A better than it. I tried Blade and Soul during the closed beta and even though the aesthetic was cool (gotta love that nonsensical wuxia) and the moves had a lot of oomph it still felt like standard hotbar combat, except this time the buttons changed depending on context. Maybe at high levels or in dungeons it becomes a lot more mobile but what I played was nowhere near as cool as TERA.

That said the BnS cash shop costumes are a shitload better than the TERA ones. Not that that's saying much.

I am not quite shure of the pvp rules but I was driving around the lvl 15 area at the hard end. I would save someone from the monsters, do a doughnut around them, then kill them. So far 10/10.

There is something subtle but extremely different about the two games' character aesthetics that makes me queasy when I look at B&S. Tera's Humans have pretty improbable proportions but I like them quite a lot, but B&S is like ugghgahgaghg :gonk: The B&S faces are also way too overtly anime for me, somehow Tera avoids that but I don't know how. Yes I realize the super weeaboos will be all over that poo poo for the same reason.

Also I really detest pretty much all the costumes B&S has shown concept art for :shrug:

e: everyone in B&S has Down's syndrome and needs to see an orthopedist about their bowed legs and pigeon toe stance

Actually B&S's style is extremely unique and cool and I'm very glad to have another MMO that doesn't strive to be indistinguishable in art direction from all the other Korean options.

Have you ever used the 'Random' slider function when creating a Tera character? It's unimaginably more downsy and inhuman looking than your example on all races, every single click.

Besides you can simply make a face that doesn't look anything like that. It's an incredibly thorough character creator, this is a really frivolous issue to have with the game

I know it's an NPC, yet your own hypothetical character isn't obligated to have a gigantic fivehead and fist-spaced doll eyes as well. It's nothing compared to the Nightmare Generator of the Tera 'Random' button, which is really really funny to click nonstop for about 15 minutes

Yeah but at least in Tera the npcs don't look like that.

TERA still wins over BnS in combat and aesthetics and that's the main draw of this game already so no one is going to go anywhere.

Blade and Soul is a wuxia-style thing where everyone goes around in long flowing robes and clothes. TERA is more arms-and-armour so it loses because it's very easy to make sexy dresses but harder to make sexy platemail and TERA is extremely bad at it.

In conclusion they are both terrible, but they are also both free.

If there it'll be under controls somewhere and no, buddy codes are from character to character. So make sure if you're giving one out you generate it on the character you want the rewards on, and if receiving enter it on the character you want THOSE rewards on.

I'm not a fan of Shirow at all (or that heavy anime style in general) but he's ten times the artist that Kim can ever dream of being. There's a big difference between exaggerated/stylized anatomy and just being to busy jacking off drawing jizz on everything.
