We all know that MMORPGs are strangely obsessed with floating islands. But the real question that I want answered is how do these massive, heavy chunks of earth stay airborne? And don’t you wave it away with “magic;” I want technical details and a reasoned response about why physics decided to take a holiday just so that things look “wicked cool.”
[AL:TERA]Anyway, TERA is all about the floating islands this week with its “largest content update of the year,” otherwise known as Skywatch. The PC patch adds Aerial Island, a huge zone with four areas and a dungeon to explore. Just… don’t look down while you’re up there, eh?
“All four areas contain a host of varied content for players to engage in ranging from BAMs and field bosses to new quests to new fisheries where players can relax after a long day of slaying,” En Masse said in a press release.
The patch also revamped some of the game’s older dungeons and introduced a card collection system that will grant passive buffs to those who collect full sets.
