So, if you hated Korean MMO's in the past, give this game a shot. It is so good in fact that I spent more time playing the head start than I did the GW2 beta weekend. A friend recommended I try the open beta, and I was hesitant at first - I hate Korean MMO's right? Well, let me say that while the game isn't going to win any awards for breaking the mold with standard fed-ex quests, etc., the combat in this game is so amazing that I have had a hard time going back to the "old way" of doing things in games like WoW.

I never like the art direction, and I always thought content was severely lacking (offering "grinding" as a sole activity). First let me say that I have never found any lasting appeal with Korean MMO's. Removing mini map (N key by default) also seems to help by few FPS.Well I though I would try to provide a more thoughtful, and not emotionally charged review of my first few days in TERA (and honestly how can Well I though I would try to provide a more thoughtful, and not emotionally charged review of my first few days in TERA (and honestly how can people give the game a 3 based on bugs and netcode that not everyone experiences) by talking about some pros and cons. Hiding the clock and FPS counter makes the UI more responsive, so disabling these two settings is suggested. There is another performance related problem, where most actions lags quite a bit behind due the UI being fairly slow. Performance seems to stutter quite a bit due the Flash based HUD, which can be tested by hiding the HUD using ctrl+z (default keybinding). It will still not work though, you need to remove boost_interprocess stuff (which then will get recreated, so this is required for every launch), by executing rm ~ /.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application \ Data/boost_interprocess/* or whatever is correct for your env. The default Windows XP profile does not seem to work (at least with wine-staging-1.8.9), after I changed to Win 7 profile, the launcher started to work.Īs of, it seems that wine-staging build is required in order to launch TERA-launcher.exe properly. Need 32bit PREFIX, I could not get 64bit PREFIX working even if patches.

(most of extra tricks there has been are not necessary any more, but I haven’t cleaned comments to remove obsolete ones yet)ġ.
