GW 1 put a bad taste in my mouth so the chance of my playing the second one is very slim though I'm sure I'll try it sooner or later. TOR because I just resubbed

smart comparing a game that had its first large scale beta to a game that has been out for 5 months.

Oh isnt it sad that a game that is in beta ALREADY has transfers and SWTOR still doesnt?

I'm reading so many bold predictions in this thread and others. Here's what might happen. If some of those predictions are right, trust me, those players will write us something like "See!!! I told you!!! Trololololol!!!! Bwahahaha!!!". If they aren't, they'd unleash some silly explanations. The wonderful world of mmo forums...

Imagine if a game takes all the best pvp elements from Warhammer, Age of Conan and WoW and then combines them - then you get GW 2. The pvp is fantastic, I did some sieges this weekend and the world vs world events fondly remind me of my days in Shadowbane - but unlike Shadowbane the game works and does not lag. Defenders can build up their castles and attackers can place siege engines and fire them.

Also in terms of graphics it pretty much blows Swtor away. Compared to the epic castles in GW2, like the human's capital, the Swtor cities seem small, stale and liveless. Also the client does not crap itself when there are dozens of players on screen - and this is a beta version, the live version will be even smoother and faster.

And on top of that you have way more customization for your character in GW2. In Swtor you are bound to a single weapon and maybe 2-3 different specs. In GW2 you can have different weapons for a class and each weapon is not only cosmetic but has it's own unique skillset. Add traits, gear and stat points and you have way more variety.

GW:2 IS TRASH
TRASH, TRASH, TRASH!!!


I was hoping that game would live up to it's ad's on the web-site.WRONG.

It has plenty of hack and slash DOES NOTHING NEW or even remotly innovative. Content is a direct copy of RIFT! I played RIFT, rift does a better JOB.

The UI is terrible. I can only use 8 abilities. half of them around bound to a weapon. I CANNOT ADAPT IAM ONLY LIMITED TO 4 UTILITY AND ONE ELITE ABILITY. That's trash! SWTOR, I can use all my abilitys and save better ones for a differnt situation. CANT DO THAT IN GUILDWARS.

I had to get a razer naga to even play this game and I'm loving the PVP on SWTOR. I can't even use my razer naga for guild wars. Guild wars pvp is to me like playing checkers ( It's a direct copy of diablo's UI).

World vs World Is like Dark Ages of Camelot. Server vs server was much more fun in DAOC than GW2.

My biggest peeve with GW2 is im stuck with 4 utily abilites stupid weapons that have to be changed.

Thank you BIOWARE. YOU MADE ME REALIZE HOW GREAT SWTOR IS and not some half backed 8 button, mind numbing crapfest. CAN YOU IMAGINE LVLING TO 80 WITH THE SAME ABILITIES.
BIOWARE REVOLUTIONIZED THE STORY AND VOICEOVER. GW2 HASENT DONE CRAP.

I got my refund today from gamestop. I didn't even bother to tell them how crappy it was. I told them the beta key didnt even work..

GW2 -

Unresponsive/laggy UI
Bad displays for ability usage
NPC's seem clueless
UI detail is well....not even there
Combat looks and feels clumsy
The so called non questing dynamic events is just another grind like any other mmo (pick up these, kill those etc)
Character creation is a joke, half the men's faces look like women lol

Just to name a few....
