TERA offers a sneak peek at future updates

June 4th, 2012

null

It’s been a month since TERA launched on Western shores, and that means it’s time to start thinking about the future. A new official post is offering a sneak peek at future updates for the game, starting with changes to the game’s two tank classes. Warriors and Lancers are both getting new abilities and a new resource to help make tanking less of a chore. Lancers will get two new moves, including one to help with overall mobility, and Warriors get three moves, including the option to block attacks with paired swords.

The development team is also planning on adding new instances; one of these, a high-end instance, will pit players against the argon queen Shandra Manaya. The instances will likely include new high-end glyphs for players as well as other drops. Cross-server 15-vs.-15 battlegrounds are also in the works; the whole pile of updates is en route for later this summer. It’s good news for any avid TERA fans looking for more content over the next several months.

TERA goes on special sale on Amazon, comes with shiny mask

May 21st, 2012

We’ve told you previously about Amazon’s special limited-time MAYhem sales, but the news just keeps getting better. Today TERA is on sale at 50% off (and it will be again on May 26th), bringing it down to a delectable $24.99 for the standard edition and $29.99 for the collector’s. What’s more, folks who purchase between now and May 28th will get treated to an “Olive Bandit Mask,” an exclusive new facial customization feature.
The olive bandit mask is a subtle bit of headwear for essential outlaw occasions. This mask disguises your identity while enhancing your reputation as a figure of mystery. Don’t get caught without your exclusive olive bandit mask while out adventuring in the world of TERA. Better yet, don’t get caught at all.
If you’re kicking yourself for missing out on a free goodie because you purchased the game already, fear not! Any Amazon customers who’ve previously bought the Digital Download of TERA will have the item code automagically placed into their Games and Software Library. Amazon’s aiming to reward its loyal users by making sure that all such unique content is offered to all customers. That means that anyone who purchases now will also be eligible to receive any future unique promotional items.

If you’ve been waiting for a price-drop to take a running jump into the world of TERA, it just may be that now’s your time, especially since there’s nothing cuter than a Popori in a bandit mask.

The rumored Tex Murphy Kickstarter has been confirmed, to the tune of $216,000 (out of $450k as of this writing). That’s how much creators Chris Jones and Aaron Conners have put together already to make the long-awaited “Project Fedora,” the next in the cult classic series of full motion video sci-fi noir titles.

You can get a copy of the (eventual) game just by backing at the price of $15, and there are lots of other rewards for higher payments, including a collector’s edition, new commentary for the old Tex Murphy games, and even the chance to beta test and be in the game itself. The creators say that the game will have full-motion video, but it will also include a 3D game world, with branching paths of story to follow. As Tex says in the wild Kickstarter video, “it’s hat-in-hand time,” so go over and give if you want to get in early.

TERA writer discusses the labor of love behind game writing

May 7th, 2012

null

There’s a conception among some gamers that working with video games for a living entails more “video games” than “working.” A new development diary by TERA’s writing team manager David Noonan is quick to disabuse readers of that notion. He does see the job as a labor of love, but he also freely admits that every day brings the question of how much time will be “love” and how much time will be plain old “labor.”

Noonan explains the way that he and his team look at bug reports relating to their department. Sometimes, the only thing that needs to be changed is a simple typo; other times, the dialogue of an entire quest chain will need to be rewritten from the start. But that doesn’t negate the joy of filling in a story and creating a world, from the major quests down to the item names. If you have an interest in TERA’s writing, game writing in general, or both, Noonan has some interesting insights to share.

TERA Europe offers bonus items and skins to prepurchase customers

May 3rd, 2012

What with all the hullabaloo about TERA Europe’s sex-and-violence-reducing changes to the game, some European players have professed to having second thoughts about whether or not to actually purchase the action-focused title. Frogster, the game’s European publisher, announced today a new promotion for players who have purchased (or plan to purchase prior to launch) the European version of TERA.

To get in on the promotion, players must have purchased the full version of TERA (not the mini pre-order version, which can be upgraded to the full or collector’s edition) prior to the game’s May 2nd launch. Any players who fall into that category will be rewarded with the Legendary Legacy item package, which includes an exclusive weapon skin for each class, plus three accessories: a pirate eye-patch, a pirate face-mask, and… a pair of horn-rimmed glasses? What is this, sexy pirate librarian cosplay? At any rate, for the full details, head on over and check out the official post at the TERA EU official site.

Well, it’s officially official. En Masse Entertainment is launching its long-awaited TERA MMO on May 1st in North America. A posting on the game’s website confirms the date, and it also mentions both standard and collector’s edition offerings, the contents of which will be revealed in February.

In the meantime, En Masse is accepting beta applications, and the company also promises “lots more in store” for the month of January.

TERA was originally developed by Bluehole Studio; the title launched in Korea in early 2011. The game is a high fantasy MMORPG focused around action combat and featuring an endgame political system.

[Update: Frogster has also announced that the EU version of TERA will be available on May 3rd.]

If you’re looking forward to TERA but sad about missing En Masse’s demo of the fantasy MMO at last weekend’s PAX East, cheer up!

The firm has just released a recap video that’s almost as good as being there. It was a big week overall for TERA, and the reveals included an A-list voice cast, snippets about the launch head-start period, dungeon finder and economic tweaks, and the lush Twilight Valley region showcased at PAX.

TERA’s PAX demo pitted players against wave after wave of argons and big-ass monsters, not to mention a nasty cuss called Subject 5005. Players who were able to whittle the boss’s health down were then given a further challenge when 5005 transformed into an Argonomorph (yeah, we’re not sure what that is either, but you can see it via the video after the cut).

Last week we told you about En Masse’s casting of Colonel Tigh, er, Michael Hogan for voice-acting work in its new TERA MMO. Now the company brings word that Claudia Black will be joining Hogan in the recording studio to bring aspects of TERA’s fantasy story to life.

Hogan will lend his talents to the Valkyon Federation’s formidable Commander Samael, while Black (best known for her role as Aeryn Sun in Farscape, as well as voice-acting stints in Dragon Age and the Uncharted series) brings her considerable charms to the role of Commander Freya of Allemantheia.

If you want to see Hogan in action behind the mic, check out the clip after the break. Finally, En Masse says to keep your eyes and ears peeled for more TERA voice-acting reveals later this month.
