There are a lot more, but the art direction in the game is glorious.
Anyone else suffer from withdrawel after seeing these pics? Good shots man and much appreciated. I haven't had an interest in even looking up Tera information but if you came into a thread and expected to get agreement that it is superior in graphics they may be hard to come by. That shot you posted was not that impressive.
it is personal taste of course but it sounds really funny when you say such an argument, i played both, gw2 looks much better in max settings, tera looks amazing as well but it lacks the artistic style gw 2has.
Here's just a random screenshot I took during the 10 min I was able to play (they're having some server issues today).
I really don't see where the OP is saying GW2's level of detail is so much better than say Tera. There's tons of little details, just look all around the picture.
Plus it performs superbly with the graphics, which is something no American company besides blizzard has been able to pull off.
what?!?! WoW looks like crap.. how can you even make this statement with a straight face? I wonder if you think SWTOR looks good too because I just dont find plastic, flat aestetics with poor graphics good. ALso don't forget Tera ISNT a new game its been out for a year in Asia. So you really can't compare the performance. WoW ran like utter sh!t until about mid BC and Tera has had all that time to make the game work well with different comps.
GW2 ran great for me and once my husband turned off shadows it worked well for him too and out systems are a steady medium. The game looked great and so does Tera for different reasons.
I wasn't talking about better in that post, I was talking about cuter. Tera's characters are roly poly little kitten headed midgets and little girls would love them because they're adorable.
Asura are kind of scary in a "I'll bite your kneecaps" kind of way.
Also, as mentioned in their dev notes, this version had high-res textures disabled, the engine was optimized for CPU only and used Dx9 only.
Well that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is everyone saying "Oh wow that's beautiful" when clearly it's crap.
I guess people are just seeing things through gw2 fanboi glasses or something.

Maybe he has, who knows? I'm seriously glad all the Tera and TOR fanboys are showing up though, how is your petty revenge tasting guys?

I'm not sure, but over the weekend the true personalities of some of these people came to the surface, admitting it was great that GW2 fans were getting what they deserved. It's pathetic and even then, after Friday the response to the Beta became overwhelmingly positive, but still they try. I've said it before, grow up.

Is it truly revenge or simply jealousy?
or neither? i just like pointing out hypocrisy. And honestly....Tera fans have no right either invading a GW2 forum promoting their own game neither. But their fanboi-ism has not reached the GW2 fevered pitch yet. And i am an avid GW fan.

I believe the flaming troll torch is slowly being extinguished. The cold grey ashes of humility are beginning to fill their eyes with tears.
Then when they inevitably get banned for crashing threads like this, they'll probably be going "Ha! I got banned but I showed them, I showed them how poorly they behaved"
The irony is thick. For fuck's sakes this is simply a thread about screenshots and anti-GW2 people couldn't even help themselves.

as you can plainly see from my post i clearly said Tera fans had no right being in this thread either.
And maybe Eir wasn't talking to you. You were not quoted and unles you are guilty for doing what was mentioned this weekend, it's safe to say she was not talking about you either.

Asura are kind of scary in a "I'll bite your kneecaps" kind of way.
too bad they are sexualized and have the voices of mature women to boot. NOT the type of thing you want to let a child even look at.
Oh NOW I remember, this is the original art style from Lineage 3 which the former NCSoft employees that founded BlueHole Studios who, in fact, literally stole all the original art, game engine, IP and is currently being sued by NCSoft right? Oh... So THAT's why TERA bombed in Korea?
Meh, who cares right?
Honestly, the original L3 team could do a much better job than this. The houses in the background look like they're from WoW.

So anyway, I enjoyed finding that spot in Lion's Arch as well. I also noticed that the karma vender at the top of that platform sold Gold weapons, the stats on those things looked amazing. Pity they were level 40 I don't think anyone got high enough to see what they looked like. Only 9.8k karma if I remember correctly. At 30 when the beta ended, I was sitting on over 5k karma ~after~ buying trinkets and recipes. Nice to know people will be able to afford some nice equip just from the effort of playing, rather than grinding.

is this from a new Barbie movie? because thats the first i thought
Funny you say that. The oversaturated colors and cutesy mobs partly killed my Tera experience. And this is coming from someone who dealt with the oversaturated WoW colors just fine.
Meanwhile playing GW2 gives a lil bit of Skyrim nostalgia every now and then.

Well, they are quite different.
One is a 6-year old looking girl in a mini-dress and bunny ears.
The other is a goblin-looking fantasy creature.

I'll take the Asura over these guys any day lol. He needs a little heart or rainbow on his chest so he can do the stare right........

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Humiltiy for what? Some of us are fans of multiple games...and are gamers and let others enjoy their games.

There's never a dull moment on these boards!

Hmm, where have I seen this art style before...
