You can almost set your watch by En Masse Entertainment's weekly dose of new TERA screenshots. Yesterday was no different, as the ninth edition of the Screenshots of the Week featurette took us to the emerald shores of southeastern Arun.
"Towering trees sprouting canopies of bright flowers sway in the warm scented breeze as glowing vines and luminous insects cross the cerulean night sky. The central feature of this chromatic forest is the shimmering Lake of Tears above which rests the town of Pora Elinu within a mighty trunk," writes En Masse community manager Evan "Scapes" Berman.
You can view the new Arun images on TERA's official website, or browse them in our gallery below.

These look great; however it gives me the idea that this will be a game with a ton of mobs walking back and forth in a line standing in fields awaiting to be killed.

As opposed to what? Basically every MMO does this.

Ryzom has some of the best natural outdoors mob AI with its surprising herd/grazer/gatherer/predator/prey dynamic. The creatures don't look like random wandering landscape deposits but they actually respond to the presence of each other and players, much like in nature. I'm surprised more MMOs haven't emulated this unique feature of Ryzom's mob AI.

I hope they give the female avatars a breast attack. They modeled them to have enough mass to knock out any of those large monsters.

C'mon, these aren't bad at all. Sure, this is okay to post on most other tera articles, but this one features very few females, and no absurdly over the top ones.
People need to stop trolling tera over this. Sure, I agree with you guys - I won't be caught playing a female character in this game no matter what. But I think there's no point repeating it every time there's a chance.

I like what I'm seeing from this game but it needs to be F2P because I don't see what's going to differentiate it from the myriad of F2P Korean grinders. Paying 50+15 for a Korean grinder, it's just not going to happen (speaking only for myself of course).
Sorceress' animations are really hot though!

I hope they try to "westernize" this enough for it to not fail. If it can come out with an average western MMO grind rather than the Aion or f2p grind I'll be so happy, the style of this game looks pretty damn awesome fantasy wise.

I totally agree, Joshua.
However, my faith in Korean MMO's has long since gone out the window. I'd suggest anyone who hasn't played a Korean MMO waits a while before splurging on this, to get some feedback on what the leveling/money sinks are like.
