Talk:TERA (video game)

First "action" MMORPG?

Is it really the first "Äction" MMORPG? You have to dodge and target/hit in Dungeons and Dragons Online... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.29.97 (talk) 00:31, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

DDO is more of a hybrid, since it still uses a roll system to determine hits and misses as long as you point your weapon in the vague direction of the enemy. To my understanding, the way TERA works is that if it looked like your weapon hit, then it did. 24.109.63.235 (talk) 03:19, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Darkfall and Mortal Online predate this game and they are both twitched based MMO's.64.13.123.56 (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy dispute

The accuracy of the Features section of the article is disputed. The single cited source does not provide any of the information included. Find another source, or the section may be deleted as unreliable. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 23:29, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Are you disputing the accuracy because the link goes to a general class page that then links to each individual class, rather than having links to each class page? Because that's easily fixed, why didn't you just do it yourself rather than complaining about it? Never mind, I'll do it. 24.109.63.235 (talk) 03:19, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Gender locked races

If you're going to mention that the Baraka have no gender options, you must mention that it's the same with the Popori and Elin as well (it's been officially announced that they're two separate races; the all-female Elin race came first, who then anthropomorphisized forest animals into the Popori). To infer that only Baraka have no "male and female counterparts" is misinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.110.129 (talk) 05:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

release dates

Why aren't the release dates for Korea and Japan listed? Not that I know what they are. - 71.202.168.220 (talk) 01:09, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

NCsoft et al v Bluehole Studio inc et al

Could the filed suit be relevant to the article ? If nothing else for the injunction from launching TERA in the US that NCSoft asks the court for. Here is the whole complaint as filed in the southern district of NY:

Ooops nevermind it is already there. Missed it between "Plot" and "Races", maybe the section should be moved from between two gameplay sections. 130.228.251.5 (talk) 08:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Per your suggestion, I moved the "Controversy" section to the end of the article. --Dragnilar (talk) 23:48, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Do you really need a content section for each class?

Its at most a sentence or two of information under each class, don't see why there's clickable sections for each separate class when there's only a tiny bit of information for it. 24.233.254.51 (talk) 02:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree especially when the reception section is not even done yet Dusty Hayes (talk) 10:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree as well, this page needs to be completely reworked on in my opinion, 50%+ of it is just quotes and information that are truly irrelevant such as details on each class and race. --Kizikky (talk) 10:00, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Action Combat System section is propaganda

The entire section reads like an advertisement. The combat system bears mentioning but not in its own section, and certainly not in this fashion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.183.105 (talk) 21:45, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay section claims "The use of Chronoscrolls is only available to users who have purchased the game either digitally or physically". So, that means there is a third different way to get the game?! it should probably say "The use of Chronoscrolls is available to both, users who have purchased the game either digitally or physically" I would changed that myself but you've made me think there might be something I am missing?

The Exiled Realm of Arborea → TERA: Rising – TERA is indeed an abbreviation of The Exiled Realm of Arborea, but the game has never been called this. The game is called TERA: Rising. It was previously moved here from TERA Rising, without prior discussion, on 21 March 2013 by User:Simpuhl. The game is sold and marketed as TERA: Rising.

Patch Notes

I've added some (probably excessive) detail on dungeons and content patches. Since TERA loves removing content randomly (and will be doing another huge chunk of this come December 2014), I feel it's important to preserve a history of its past dungeons and past variations of dungeons for research and information purposes.

I don't have access to the site at the moment so I can't date or order these correctly. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Also, I am a bit fuzzy on the crucible of flame/skyring era since that's when I quit the game, so if I'm wrong on any of that please tell me.

TERA: Rising → TERA (video game) – The current name of this game doesn't seem to be TERA: Rising anymore. All 3 official sites don't name the "Rising" subtitle (American: TERA, European: TERA: Fate of Arun, Korean: TERA: The Exiled Realm of Arborea). Also the game got most of its publicity before the name was changed to "Rising": 41 reviews at Metacritic with simply TERA vs. 2 reviews for Rising. Simply "TERA" seems to be the most common title for this article. Mika1h (talk) 22:31, 15 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 06:22, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Mika1h I am toying with a title option as TERA (MMORPG) and am wondering about the extent that this would help readers/fit with p&g. CRITERIA "Recognizability" that "The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize" and I think that this title fits whilst supplying more information. Perhaps there are a number of similarly themed articles (as found in connection to Category:MMORPGs by topic) that might similarly be moved.

I'm about to place notification of this discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games so that the move can get wider consideration.

GregKaye 07:03, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

WP:NCVGDAB recommends (video game) as a disambiguation. --Mika1h (talk) 09:43, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I agree. contra (video game) is not titled Contra (run and gun), nor is Prey (2006 video game) titled Prey (FPS).--174.91.187.234 (talk) 17:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Support the Mika1h-proposed name. --Izno (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Ubisoft Publishing Credit

I have a question about the Ubisoft Publishing credit. Is this taken from the May 3, 2011 article at http://www.mmoreviews.com/ubisoft-is-going-to-distribute-tera, which states that Ubisoft would be the European distributor of TERA? If so, then the Atari credit as Distributor should suffice (or perhaps be amended to to Atari/Ubisoft).

Ubisoft was never a TERA publisher. They (as Atari) were the distributor of the physical game in Europe when there was an actual boxed product with physical discs. TERA is now an online download-only game, and the European publisher is Gameforge, not Ubisoft. Baraqorn (talk) 00:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Made the change based on the reference cited in the article Baraqorn (talk) 20:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Worth updating?

Hey folks,

I am currently working updating this article; however, I'm struggling with how much and which information should be incorporated. I recently added some plot information and wondered whether I should add info about the world of TERA, races and classes. It goes without saying that this info won't be just quotes. Since I'm quite new to all of this Wikipedia stuff, I would appreciate any comments and/or help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeIemachos (talk • contribs) 13:33, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

While having a plot is great and all, Races and Characters as well as the Plot fall under Synoposis, which has about the tightest restrictions content-wise (to avoid having trouble with WP:GEMCRUFT et al.), but on the other hand does not necessarily require reliable sources provided. On the contrary, essential parts like Gameplay, Development or Reception do not have as tight restrictions, but all require reliable sources to go along with claims made. Since you are new to Wikipedia, you might or might not know what that refers to. Basically, it is one of the most crucial elements of Wikipedia: WP:V tells us that every claim made has to come along with something to verify this; in 99.9% of cases this should be a reliable source, which is defined by WP:RS as a source coming from a third party (neither player/fansite, nor companies involved), and is hung to a website considered reliable on a per-project basis.

Since this is a video game article (duh!), we can determine reliability from the list located at WP:VG/RS. If you are someone like me who does not want to compare every source they find with that list, WP:VG/SE holds a customized, Google-based search engine that only lists reliable sources, so everything you get there, you can use here. If you have any further questions, let me know here (I'm watching this page) or on my talk page. Additionally, you can exchange with the WikiProject dedicated to Video games at WT:VG.

P.S. if you write a message on a talk page, regardless if Wikipedia talk, Article talk or User talk, please remember to do two things: a)Indent your message using one colon : more than the preceeding comment, afront every new line of your message, as you can see in the code, my three segements all carry one colon each, so yours should carry two, etc. Furthermore, b) sign your comment using four tildes ~~~~ appended at the end of your entire comment. It will produce the following, just with your credentials and the proper timestamp: Lordtobi (✉) 15:24, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
