Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend. SWTOR or GW2, what do you prefer?

FUN FACT: Ony my server right now at 9 PM local time on a sunday, (which is pretty much the absolute gaming primetime of the week right?) there are 0 (!) lvl 50 players online and 0 (!) people on the fleet.

And total population of my faction: 22.

Go look for yourselfes, server: Senator contispex.

Rofl come on! How can i do anything but change to other released games with those numbers?

GW2 pretty much blows SWTOR out of the water then dips it's head back in to drown it. All of the features are there and it just feels open. I spent half a day just exploring and doing what I want. I imagine there will be some grind with guild influence but at least dailies and monthlies aren't locked into the same quests every day. It simply has that effect that makes me want to rush home and play, and once I'm in I can get into the action or interact with people right away instead of trying to motivate myself to do the same string of dailies or wait for the guild to show up to do the same raid.

So much for GW2 being the second coming.

They still have faster load times and the ability to dodge. Though there are things I disagree with the game such as level scaling and increased instance difficulty when teamed up it looks like a good game overall. I've only tried warrior so far and it's pretty fun.

I haven't played GW2, although GW1 was abysmal. I have been playing Tera since last weekend and although I enjoy it, it does not have the staying power as SWTOR did through 50. In conclusion, add more end game content, tighten up the player base so that heroics have some meaning and wa-la, instant classic. SWTOR has the panache, money and IP to seriously stifle anything new out now and in the near future. If only the DEVS WOULD READ THIS!

Because lightsabers and "The Force" are different from swords and magic. Just give me a game built on a solid, responsive, technologically up to date engine that can handle WPVP, and you guys can keep your Oscar-worthy voice acting.

absolutely, WPVP would be an incredible thing in SWTOR, go figure.

Free transfers are coming.

Re-roll. Or just play on a better server until transfers come out.

Played 5 hours of the GW2 beta this weekend and honestly it was rather disappointing. The game is poorly optimized and this dynamic events are just WAR's public quests. The PvP is fun but can get very redundant. Idk I think if Bioware can release some viable World PvP/RvR before GW2 comes out they have nothing to worry about. Also from all the bugs I experienced with GW2 it is atleast 5 months from release.
