Tera uses the Unreal 3 engine and the graphics and gameplay are amazing to see plus it runs the game smooth. Anyone curious about it go signup for the beta and look for yourself. SWTOR had potential but they dropped the ball with a horrible game engine and lack of major features missing from this game. It's a console game lol http://news.mmosite.com/content/q/20...ing_soon.shtml

I was defending this game on the forums, up until this weekend... I spent the weekend playing Skyrim, Halo:Reach, and MW3. I've also been closely following a certain beta... Coming back to SWTOR was...painful. It was only after taking a break from the game that I realized I was really only here for the Star Wars. It's a damn shame, because I've been looking forward to this for so long. OP is right on
Hail to the King, baby.

My system is i7-920cpu / 12G RAM / GTX560ti gpu with 30" Monitor...and, this is the ONLY GAME that heats my system...nothing I've played yet hurts my system, but this game does. The ENGINE is terrible, and something BW should've foreseen - its limitations and its demands. There is no excuse. I am going to stay 1 more month to finish getting my alts to 50, then, bleh. No more. OP is correct, and post was very well written. I love Star Wars, and wanted a SW MMO just as much as everyone else. I have no ill will for BW, but I tried...I cancelled after 1st paid month, and decided to resub for a bit longer to at least know I got all alts also to 50...then, couldn't take it anymore. It is an awesome single-player game, until you have to repeat everything again for the alts (in spite of their own unique storyline) just to level...and, so on... I'm trying to last, but I don't think I'll make it

I'm not happy with SWTOR at present but I don't see how Tera is going to pose much of a threat. For all its flaws, real or imagined, SWTOR is still Star Wars (a lot more Star Wars than STO was ever Star Trek, IMO) and lots of folks reeeaaally like Star Wars. Tera? I'd never even heard of it until people here started mentioning it.
As of December, I feel more like I do now than I did before.

I found this ironic. Posted just today... Game Performance Issues: As much as I would love to be able to plunge right back into the world of Tyria, ArenaNet still has plenty of work ahead of them before Guild Wars 2 is ready for launch. Specifically they need to iron out the game�s performance issues. I played on both my powerful desktop PC and a capable gaming laptop, both of which struggled with the game on anything other higher than the lowest graphics settings. Cranking up the quality resulted in horrid frame rates, and massive world versus world battles between dozens of characters caused both systems to slow to a crawl. ArenaNet just needs to fine tune game�s engine, finding the right balance between beauty and playability. http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/page-named/ Seems other games have issues too.

That's in "massive world versus world battles". Not a 16 person Warzone or a Fleet with 30 people. As for the fantasy nay-sayers...well...at least they function reliably. Like it or not, when something new comes out, all of the hardcore players, those who complain here on the forum and those who don't, will leave.
Hail to the King, baby.

The difference is one is in beta and the other one went live.
