Though the OP said it, very poorly, and inaccurately.
BHS has stepped away from Tera not long after Fate of Arun failed to bring in the player numbers and whales they aimed to obtain (This game has been in cash out mode for over a year now). They have/had no intention of correcting optimization for Tera, it would be a sizable investment. In a game that, though they were the second highest grosing MMO in NA at one point, they decided to put their man power into other titles. (Bad biz move IMO. I bet if BHS put more time and money into Tera, this game could have been a big big thing, like WoW big. Dis combat system doe, I can't play tab target after this...)
It is a well known fact a portion of this games coding was ripped off thanks to some lazy employees at BHS who previously worked on the title. (Ncsoft successfully sued a couple BHS employees over this) They would need to rewrite a good portion of the game to correct optimization, that's a 'very' expensive process. So, Eme is correct in that, it's not bug, it is this way by half assed design.
Since they gave up on Tera so long ago now, don't expect the optimization to ' 'ever' ' be corrected. Just enjoy the game the best you can before they take it offline in a few years.
Or, get a beast of a gaming PC that can at least mask the issue, worked out fine for me.
Ehm, no, they won against some BHS staff but they didn't successfully sued BHS. Ncsoft lost that in the courts.
Didn't think I needed to be so specific on that point. o.o'
Best of these I'd say is BnS, I just couldn't take to the whole skill change based on distance mechanic, if I'm right up on something and want to pop off a ranged attack, damn it! I should be able to! So it is a bit more limiting, but has a very similar feel. BnS also has a good story that didn't get chopped to [filtered] like Tera's. It's worth the play threw for the story alone.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Revelations is tab target is disguise, I played to level 35 and could not deal with nothing having a hit box for the action combat play option.
Black desert I didn't play too much, did the 7 day trial. The combat system feels good, but it get's pretty Mortal Combat style with skill combos. Up down up down left right B B A down type [filtered].
