I'm looking for a game with smooth gameplay, and just for it to feel fluid like WoW was/is.
Which of these two is most fluid.
I would recomend TSW. I think Tera (and this is my opinion) is WoW clone# 274 to comne out since 2004. If you want a game similar to WoW, that has the same leveling structure as WoW and does nothing to push the MMO genre further then I might pick Tera. I played 2 CBT's and the game was as boring, uninspiring and bad as an MMO can get.
I wouldnt trust Funcom with a 10' pole but at least TSW has broken the mold and decided to be as innovative as one can be in an MMO so you gotta give them some props for that. TSW might suck but I would play it over Tera because it actually trys to innovate.
Newsflash: EVERY Funcom MMO has broken the mold at the time of it's launch. Anarchy Online being the game that broke the mold more than any of the others.
1. Instanced Dungeons
2. Instant dungeon quest hubs
3. The most intricate and precise skillpoint system
4. futuristic with a very "Dante's Inferno" feel
5. Action oriented combat with skills
6. Finishers (that also grant stamina recovery)
7. horse sprint
8. First game to raise difficulty level on an expansion rather than max level of characters.
The list goes on....Funcom is the one company that ALWAYS tries to outdo itself and any other competitor...the other competitors just try to cash in.
Well theres one thing theres gona be allot of and that instances and loading screens.
"its more instanced than SWTOR" - plain bullshit. It's less instanced than AOC, which makes it less instanced than SWTOR. It's roughly as instanced as something like warhammer
"its standard tab target combat like wow" - again wrong. Its not action combat like TERA. Its VERY VERY simmilar combat to GW2, both have limited selection of abilities from a pool, in GW2 most abilities can be used while moving, in TSW ALL abilities can be fired while moving, both games have states systems where players can take advantage of states they or other players place, both games are tab target but without a selected target they auto target nearest enemy in a forward cone.
From what I saw, TERA looks like a much more fluid gameplay experience. TSW, at least from the videos, seems more stiff.
However, I recommend TSW because it's a refreshing gaming experience. TERA's closer to WoW than TSW, so just out of the sake of trying something completely different, I'd go for TSW first.
I would say this, TSW. Tera may look better, but overall I think that underneath it is the same Asian grinder. TSW will probably more worth it, but that's just me gut feeling. ^^

just to change some myths about TSW here:
