One Shots: A peek into TERA's beauty
It's all about TERA in this edition of One Shots, with reader Philip describing the feelings he gets from this gorgeous shot: While questing in the vast world of TERA Online, I was led into this little area by a specific quest line. This area was full of simply gorgeous horses and vibrant colors. The water glimmered, and I had goosebumps from the sheer beauty of this area and its landscape. Hopefully, you will be able to enjoy the elegance the game provides, like I did. We're looking at the best MMO environments all this week, but next week we'll be revisiting another old favorite of One Shots: bug week. Whether it's unwanted guests in cutscenes, funny graphic glitches, or a prank you played on a buddy, we want to see. Send your screenshots in to oneshots@massively.com and we'll feature them in next week's One Shots!%Gallery-112285%
One Shots: High above me
First impressions are important in an MMO, and if you're a graphics fan, the look of the world can make a big impression right away. This week in One Shots we're all about your first impressions of MMOs: the starting zones. Today, Philip takes to the skies in this image from the starting area of TERA: After taking a quick glance back at the humble camp zone located within the ruins below an unusual tree resembling a Cherry Blossom, I couldn't but help appreciate the last of the beautiful scenery that the Island of Dawn has to offer. I talked to the cat-like fellow to hitch a ride on a Pegasus. The cat summoned the mythical beast, I jumped on, and it took off heading toward the city of Veilka. As I rode through the sky, I had already thought the Island of Dawn was beautiful. But the panoramic scene -- hanging waterfalls from the sky, mystical cherry blossom trees, thick yet lush forests, and the island's natural inhabitants -- simply made my jaw drop. The scene was indescribably amazing, and this picture does absolutely no justice to the Island of Dawn at all. We're enjoying starting zone week, but we're also looking forward to next week. We'll be focusing on the sci-fi genre, so it's time to show off your favorite sci-fi game! Send your best screenshot to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the thanks! %Gallery-112285%
