I find Tera also a better game overall, it might have the usual boring questing system, but it is more group friendly than TSW which for me is just an Online RPG not a MMORPG.
The same people who find TSW amazing will change their mind in a couple of month time once they run out of stories/content, like it happened with SWTOR.
At the start everyone was loving SWTOR now as if by magic everyone is avoiding like the plague.
Tera is not innovative, it is not ground, breaking, but if you like to play in groups (like you should do in MMORPGs) it is a far better product than TSW, which is designed for soloers.
Huh? What does TERA offer for groups that TSW doesn't?
Honestly, i do find TSW a to be an mmorpg with lots of single player elements, but TERA is another solo friendly mmo with co-op and some multyplayer elements, like all themeparks today, including GW2
Well all I can say is since I started playing TERA I have since stopped even caring if TSw or GW2 ever even launches. I haven't had this much fun playing an MMO since...welll since never and I have played em all. Being able to actually play the game in Cntrl+Z mode is incredible indeed and I can play with no interface whatsoever at will even in groups and love it!
TERA has a better combat. TSW has better everything else
if you include animations as part of the combat I agree. Loved TERA , but from the crowd being x1000 less "trollish" to the atmosphere being amazing and everything in between etc I've decided to take TSW over TERA. Would love to have TERA combat and animations in TSW .
after playing an extended amount of both, TERA at first the combat was fun and refreshing, but after a while it became extremely tedious and annoying.
I prefer the combat style of TSW 100x more then that of TERA, and quite frankly its my favorite combat Ive played since Asheron's Call. The similarity must lie in the ability to move while casting, that is hands down the best part of combat in any game to me.
The Secret World is a thinking man's game, you will find very little overlap between TSW and TERA's target audience, they're not competitors in the slightest so I'm not worried. I like The Secret World's combat more, as it focuses more on the preparation, metagame and combo-building that I love about Magic: The Gathering, and the combat itself as it happens is more than serviceable. Plus, in The Secret World, you are NEVER stuck in an animation, which is bloody marvellous.
This poll is strictly about TSW vs TERA, the combat and what you'd rather be playing between the two because of it. The combat in TERA received good reviews for the most part (yes there were some that didn't like it, but most did). To all those complaining about combat in TSW and if you've tried TERA at any point, which of the two games would you prefer to be playing?
I personally tried TERA in beta and although the combat was refreshing, that was the oONLY thing refreshing about the game. It wasn't enough for me to purchase and subscribe to the game. TERA to me was boring because of the same old questing as in every other MMO with new combat. Go kill 10 rats quests over and over and over....I uninstalled and never looked back.
Although I don't mind the combat in TSW, I do agree it needs some work, but if I had to choose between these two games, I would pick TSW hands down. The combat may be lacking but the game itself is much better then TERA imo. So again, I ask you, to those that tried TERA and are complaining about combat in TSW, if you HAD to make a choice between the two, which one would you rather be playing if you HAD to choose between only these two and why.
The point I'm trying to make here is that combat doesn't make a game.
I acknowledge the combat and animations are not for everyone in TSW. But my god I would take the world, setting, lore and everything else over that POS game Tera. With that being said I actually love TSW's combat and animations.

If combat is the only factor, then I have to go with Tera....TSW simply has terrible animations and combat, very boring imo.....

I feel like moving while casting is entirely too arcade for me. Some people like it, but I prefer the strategic involvement of TERA combat.
Having said that, this post is total troll/flame bait.
Ding ding, round 2?

there is no comparison lol if it had any then it would be like comparing a ferrari against a lada....
TSW does what tera cant--->questing-story
Tera does what TSW cant--->combat-pvp-animation
