This month En Masse Entertainment returns with more news from the world of TERA, as they conclude the ongoing Race and Class series spotlighting the last of the game’s seven mythical races and eight unique classes.

- High elves

When you play a high elf in TERA, you become part of the world’s most ambitious, ruthless society—but it’s a society that prizes intelligence and drive. TERA’s elves are finding their way in a world where racial diversity is a matter of survival, but elven pride is as tenacious as the elves themselves.

Elves are equally accomplished in the sorcerer’s tower, the mystic’s temples, and the slayer’s dueling circles. Though they keep tight rein on expressing their emotions (lest others take advantage of that weakness), they have a pragmatic wisdom that’s an asset in troubled times.

The high elves may have been the last nation to join the Valkyon Federation, but with their political acumen and knack for long-term planning, don’t be surprised if they’re running the show in a few years.

-Berserker

You can’t solve every problem with a huge battle-axe, but the problems you can’t “solve” end up fleeing in terror anyway. That’s the worldview of TERA’s berserker class, a whirling dervish of destruction on the battlefield.

And while berserkers fly into rages beyond rational thought, you still think tactically as a player. You’ll be moving around the battlefield, evading enemy attacks and finding just the perfect spot for that Cyclone attack.

-Priest

Movement on the battlefield is also key for TERA’s priest class. You’re no healbot—you’re dealing damage one moment, locking down your enemies the next, then dropping a Circle of Rejuvenation to keep all your friends alive to fight another day.

Best of all, you’re pivotal on the battlefield—friends and enemies alike are orbiting around you. Healing takes skill—it’s more than just pressing the “heal” button—TERA rewards that skill with a combat experience that puts you at the center, not on the sidelines.

Additionally, En Masse Entertainment has  announced that TERA will be presented at the Game Developer’s Conference 2011 this month in San Francisco. One of the year’s most anticipated PC titles, the team will be showcasing TERA with a new hands-on demo featuring a never before seen area along with new information and feature unveils.  Select GDC attendees will have the opportunity to experience the skill-based action combat that promises to make TERA one of the most unique and groundbreaking MMOs released this year. Key members of the En Masse Entertainment team will be available for interviews and demos on site at GDC, March 2-4; please feel free to get in touch to request an appointment.
