Look, what can it hurt to go in expecting it to be just another typical MMO, with all its bugs and playerbase that can't agree on anything, PvPers who constantly whine no matter how good the PvP is, and you won't disappointed.
The diffrence between you and me is that you heard something and I've actually played most closed beta weekends. GL, HF

PvPers whine are the most competent whine out there actually. You see lately people whine on PvP no matter of game because most games trying to copy WoW solutions. And WoW's PvP is utter ****. From 'fresh' MMOs best PvP lately was in WHO but EA instagibbed it after release (game is the same as beta to this time nothing fixed, nothing changed, despite great and competent feedback). GW1 had brilliant PvP system too yet we gonna see how they'll handle this in GW2 later on, since GW2 is completely diffrent design in all terms.

Personally I find the graphics in SWTOR to be awful, and worse than that of WoW's.

So... you're press? I thought all the betas were press only... the first open one is next week no?

No. Previous weekend betas included press, but were also stress-tests open to selected testers. The upcoming weekend beta is the first open public test.

lol this dude is laughing his butt off right now. Oh and GW2 will fail. because at this point in time its heralded as the second coming of Jesus. GW1 was total trash by the way. i couldn't even get past level 15 it was so terrible.
There's nothing to troll about sadly. But nice try.

It's overlooked as Jesus because it DOESN'T copy things and is suprisingly fun. Seriously. And judging GW2 on what GW1 was is entirely stupid and show off your lack of basic knowledge in the topic of MMO

Let's leave it this way, since I'm considered troll there's no matter what I say, right? ^^

WOW animations/particule effects and lightning and artwork is better and smoother.

The current graphics of wow are better than SWTOR

Ah... ok then, thanks for the heads up!

Already preoredered GW2, let's see how that game holds up to the hype.

Played TERA this weekend (yay for free beta!), and as impressed as I was with the battle system, it doesn't hold me like TOR, not to mention people are already ripping it to shreds, and the area chat should be renamed Barrens 2.0.

Got pre-purchase with access to all upcoming betas? (idk if normal version had it since I've prepurchased CE) I highly recommend participate in atleast one weekend. Tons of fun yet you may feel a bit lost since it feels completely diffrent comparing to what WoW and it's copies get used us to.

Same. Judging from the press and personal beta feedback I've gotten, I have to say GW2 looks like it will deliver. It won't be perfect, of course, but it's shaping up to be a great game.

An added note--and this is directed to the thread in general--it's ironic how some people moan about GW2 being garbage, then in the same breath defend TOR by reminding us that games don't launch perfectly.
