I played it for a bit and hated it and i hope they improve it before release because paying for that right now is a big waste of coin and SWTOR is so much better and there is no way i would play GW2 over it.

I love how everyone misuses the term "World PVP" now. World PVP is not being told where to go to encounter it. It's not queuing up for it and it's not being ported to it. It's not a designated map/section or area. World PVP is what WoW had in its infant stages. It broke out everywhere. Most people remember the Southshore/Tarren Mill wars, however, it broke out more than just there. Trying to peacefully level your toon in STV and a horde (no pun intended) of 20-30 level 60s might be steamrolling their way down the coast until the World Defense channel lit up to alert your allies. Guess what happened next? World PVP. What GW2 has is nothing, NOTHING like World PVP, and it never will be. There's nothing spontaneous or random about it.

people are forgetting that swtor has open world pvp, it just happened with the rakghoul event. there was enormous amounts of fighting open world ad lib type pvp. now all bioware needs to do is convert that into a daily type form and we'll be good.

World PVP is what UO had when it first came out. That was true 100% open pvp. You could even pvp in some towns.

GW2, though i have to admit that i didnt do any PvE after the tutorial and spent the weekend playing only structured PvP i also didnt even touch WvWvW. While i cannot say anything about dynamic events, WPvP, or pve in general, i can say that structured pvp was far superior compared to SWTOR. The flow of combat was so much better class balance so much better etc.. And about the engine the game ran on max graphics and i constantly had 30-40 fps while in SWTOR i have to play with low setting and average fps in warzones is less than 30. I found the PvP so more tactical you're positioning actually matters and classes support each other beatifully. Like a guardian popping out a shield which no1 can penetrate and then a ranger is killing the enemies from behind the shield while the retarded enemies try to run through my shield

LOL I just don't understand why so many players are adverse to dynamic worlds that offer variety and unpredictability... Personally, I think it's sad that a game is so predictable you already know what you're going to do before you even log on.. LOL Anyways.. This is how i feel and gald others feel the same way .. im not alone <sniff sniff>

Dear Moderator -- Lock this one single thread and you will create an outcry of 10+ threads questioning your decision to do so. It's better just to keep one big thread open on the subject.

You might not believe it, but there are people who care about things like the setting (a minor detail in an rpg I know...). Yes it is different, totally different.
