Blizzard and ncsoft teamed up to release TERA in europe and US maybe this year.

A mmo with no auto aim and world without loadscreens made with unreal3 engine look very nice.

Its offcorse modelled after lineage 2 and some of desingers are ex-lineage3 that was cancelled.

Looks promising if your into these kind of mmo's at least for me is no auto target and huge world without loadscreens.

It will be subscription based.

This isnt the new IP Blizzard has been talking about for the last couple of years is it?

The environments look awesome, but some of the characters look a little too anime for me.

Its comming from ex lineage3 devs, blizzard just joined venture with ncsoft to release it in europe and us.

Blizz has nothing to do with game design/developing themselfs its korean made.

And i agree on character models its very anime im affraid but game world looks very slick and i love fact its one big world with no load screens and no auto target also to my liking.

I like the fact you can play as a panda!

For blizzards sake I hope this game does very well. They have huge expectations out of anything they even fart around. With that in mind, NC Soft has been around a while but I've never been impressed by their games.

I'd hate to see the leading gaming giant get damaged, I think it'd damage the gaming industry. Then again, Microsoft seems to do well enough despite the disappointments they've dealt us.

Here is a new movie that explain game more about characters.

Its btw officially labeled as sandbox.

sandbox with classes

Yeh true i think its a themepark but no auto attack and one hugeworld without loadscreens got my attention plus game world looks very nice, maybe its crap future will tell.

The active combat system seems pretty cool. Will have to see how it works in practice though

A game that doesn't rely solely on gear and what skills you train?! What is this?! I agree with Anacaritha it "sounds nice" it adds a level of difficulty and freshness to a game.
Downsides that I see are dodging in to another mob while hunting solo, also close quarters like in a dungeon I dont see how you will be able to dodge out of the way when you cant run through the monster. Some of the dungeons in games like this have hallways that are very narrow and wont allow for much room to get out of the way.
I wonder if a caster is allowed to break a spell to dodge, in the video all the spells he cast were less than a second (except for the heal)
I do like the idea, of having an "aimmer" I don't remember what he called it. But again now its the opposite some of these dungeons have HUGE expanses, can you imagine trying to kill a boss from 40 meters away while he is moving around. Not to mention there is a delay from the time you start casting to the time you shoot whatever it is, then there is MORE time for the distance that has to be covered from you to the boss. There has to be some way to lock on, some sort of spell, buff or potion... something!
So since the only way you can miss is if your aiming away from your target, does this mean that monsters have lost ability to evade and dodge? I dont know, it was a short video and I am just coming up with things that could possibly hinder this game from being a game any of us would want to buy.

One word: Lag
