I got sucked in mad hard by the new alliance patch. It has consumed my life and all my being. I've become a hermit. OK but seriously it really has been addicting. The new alliance offers a new sense of enjoyment to the world of TERA. Alliance is a patch about camaraderie, I'm talking brothers in the same trench kinda camaraderie. We've been dug into BAMs, enemy bases, the sand just about every place there is to hide within the last 4 days. AND IT HAS BEEN AMAZING!
The PvP element which has always taken a backseat on PvE servers really comes out and makes it something amazing. The mechanics of the alliance, extractor runs, key hunting, the stuff that truly sets apart this patch from the rest of the content is it brings something different. PvE servers have generally been all about doing dungeons, doing raids, and well all the scripted mechanical stuff. But when you offer hourly open PvP it brings in a whole new light. You don't have to worry about getting manhunted 24/7 but during those few hours that PvP is allowed its all hell broken loose. I'll be out in the field killing masses of people. The unique combat system really lends itself to a fun PvP too, its not tab and target this free form action combat really helps bring alive what this genre should have been from the beginning which is swords clashing, butt kicking, low down brutality. You'll see heads roll and it'll will be a glorious bloodbath.
The Alliance patch does come with its issues. Currently there are a number of bugs revolving around vault timing which completely confuses the player. There is still the issue of optimization in large quantities of people that the game has always had. Generally the whole patch turned out very well and has brought a fun new side to the PvE servers of TERA and greatly enhanced the PvP camaraderie in the PvP servers. It's no longer about the lone wolf or the Zerg Guilds its about the focus of an entire entity of living breathing fighters.
