#TERA GUNNER GLYPHS FULL#

We couldnвЂ™t just throw the doors wide open-there had to be a reason why a skill could be used that way, and we needed to balance the mechanics of existing classes with the gunnerвЂ™s. This was very important, as only using moving skills made combats boring and derivative. Playing a gunner depends a lot on which skills can be cast while moving, and which cannot. Moreover, none of our dungeon content accommodated the gunnerвЂ™s mobility, and we had to balance our existing and upcoming content to make sure the combat didnвЂ™t get too loose. TERA wasnвЂ™t designed for characters to attack while moving, so a lot of resources went into solving just the technical issues of combat. Obviously the most challenging part was the moving attacks.

Gunners are designed to take full advantage of their mobility to both deal non-stop damage from the back line and pick up the slack from other characters who are busy dodging monster attacks (or not).Д¬an you describe the challenges you faced during the development process? So even with powerful skills, classes that cannot attack while moving have roadblocks to dealing significant damage, and it gets harder depending on how bad-tempered the monster is.

In TERA, DPS classes must pay attention to monster attack patterns, dodge those attacks, and deal damage at the same time. What role was the gunner intended to fill? Separate from the general concept of magic as a power used only by elites, we wanted the gunner to be a funny and rebellious character. We thought a lot about how a Unified Theory concept class would look and play, treating destructive and uncontrollable magic as an impersonal, complex machine. This was a very attractive bit of lore to our development team, and since it was incomplete, we could be more creative with it. In TERA, thereвЂ™s a mostly unexplored story hook about the high elvesвЂ™ Unified Theory of magic and mechanics. What inspired the creation of the gunner? Ko WonJun (UI/UX Designer), Kim Seon Wook (Lead Designer), and Hong Sang Hyuk (Client Programmer) responded with a peek behind the scenes on how TERAвЂ™s gunner class came to be. To celebrate the launch of the gunner on Xbox One, I asked our development team some questions about the concept and design challenges of the class, and how it was ported over for the platform. TERA is the only MMORPG with true action combat and starting today that action combat gets taken up a few notches with the introduction of a new playable character class on Xbox One: the gunner.
