I think I can answer your GW2 question. Its a quality made MMO that has no character. Though the world is beautiful and flush it is devoid of any warmth. And it comes off as an 'arcade' version of an RPG. There is no real commitment in the title so there is nothing really to take serious. No conflict. No (RP)G.
yea felt the same got my slayer in the 30s got bored playing the same exact dps role over and over.. I wanted a change but tried to start a new character and couldn't bring myself to play over all the exact same content again with a second class.. The classes are way to shallow imho and not enough variety in skills or equipment.. overall the game is extremely shallow in almost all aspects and found no reason to continue to play once the combat aspects wore thin.. very pretty game though such a shame the rest I found very dull.. combat was fun but with no variety it got stale.. at least in gw2 any class i play i can change up my playstyle completely every 10 or so levels
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Dead games dont have que to login.
it's hardly a crappy game and with its move to F2P obviously will have a big turn out especially right now.. just wish it had more options in skills/classes and more things to do and at least a decent questing system... oh well

Personally I think TERA is a great game.
It was probably a good way if the intention was to actually get ppl that didn' tlike GW2 to try it. The styles are not the same, in fact I'd go so far as to say they're the opposite. gw2 does a good job of being very realistic, tera on the other hand is very fantasy.
It's not really a matter of what's better but what someone likes better.
If you're a fan of gw2 you probably wont like tera. Nothing wrong with that. If you have a game you love you're lucky. The thread was titled " if you're bored of gw2 " So not aimed at people who still like it
If gw2 didn't do it for you tera is a good game to try ( it is free after all ) No reason for fans of gw2 to feel like they need to defend it though. These 2 games don't compete for the same types of gamers imo.
Understandable and I agree wtih everything you just said. Now with me going back to the game knowing what to expect from it I am really enjoying it this time around. Its actually keeping me from playing my main game which at launch it could not do.
yea my friend really likes it he plays gw2 as well and goes to TERA because he likes to just "turn his brain off" as he says and just kill things.. he said gw2 requires him to pay attention a lot more and can't do that while drinking lol..

Tera went F2P for a REASON. They have not added to the game where its hurting since it was released 2 YEARS ago in Korea. The guides are worthless, there is no information in the game about key components like guilds...whats the actual DIFFERENCE between a lvl 1, 2 or 3 guild other than being able to take part in the political system!?! there is a guild NPC there that just "says" hey we hired a bunch of arcitects, cant wait to see what guild hall you chose...and NO INFORMATION about WHERE these arcitects are and how TO CHOSE! Zero information on the main site...and guess what? NONE ON THE WIKI'S either! There isnt even a SPLIT STACK option to be found anywhere and worse yet, the community is CRAP, they dont answer questions. Global is freaking Barrens chat and Area chat isnt that much better.
Hell, they STILL have the crafting quests in the starter area and it takes 2.5 gold to do ONE of them...something no new player will come close to having HALF of, when the LEAVE the starter area! And im not even going to get into how bad the crafting system is let alone its extreme expense for items nowhere near as good as what you loot and get for quest rewards.
Tera is still a great looking game in a large world where most everything else was done half-assed...and now it has a store done half-assed where it costs $175 for a town atlas...that last 30 days...lol.

And that's just your opinion, right?
IMO Tera has way better grahics than GW2 and a way better looking world but that's just my opinion.
I found it hard to take you seriously after your comment.
I actually think the combat system in TERA wipes the floor with the sleep mode combat system that is GW2. The world of Tera is far more appealing but everyone has a different opinion.
Some people like tro claim they are speaking for the whole instead of making it clear it's just their take on a game. You usually find these are the over the top fans who wear rose tinted glasses no matter what there favorite game of the month is like.
^ pretty much the same. It gets very rinse and repeat. Not to say there is anything better out at the moment and you could argue the same thing against almost any game on the streeet right now. The genre has stagnated, to me it has all become a bit boring. I know my problem no one elses, but here is hoping a publisher decides to break from the norm and try something new.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
tried tera and besides it's visually stuning graphics there's nothing much underneath.
The action combat is fun for few days and then there's nothing new that might keep you going, the game just isn't just my cup of tea and not to mention how redicilous the armor sets look like
the quests are boring and it's like playing WOW all over again (and I've quit wow because of boring static quests and endless and pointless raiding for year after year after year) and even tho the combat system might be cool in an mmorpg it's just not something what I haven't seen before in other games and after I initially was excited it went more into the "meh, yawn" feeling after few days.

MMORPGs have development cycles of 3-5 years.
Beating the first experience everyone had when playing a MMORPG for the first time will take a huge jump, especially since players have been jumping all over titles and enjoying all the little differences plus MMORPGs themselves keep evolving.
Currently playing: GW2

Which is better is certainly subjective. There are certainly elements of subjectivity to beauty. But there are also objective elements. No doubt Tera has a beautiful world as well. If I tried to deny that, I would be trolling as surely as the OP would be trolling if he tried to deny GW2's beauty. It just is. No opinion about it.
It just isn't and it is an opinion.
Do you have a problem with opinions, if so then perhaps forums like these are not the place for you.
Played many years in WOW and last few months in GW2.
Few days ago when TERA become Free-to-Play, I tried it too.
My feeling about TERA:
Gpraphics - nice.
Characters- nice (strange 18+ bikini-armor
Landscapes around - visually looks nice, but if you come close: just theatrical scenery, plastic dummies. You can't even jump from a bridge or a cliff to the sea - because invisible walls everywhere. I hate invisible walls - I not feel this world as a open.
Questing - standard wow-style. NPCs with "?" in head.
Control - very unusual and terrible mouse moving. Can't click on abilities.
Jumping - forget about jumping puzzles
Exploring - not interested because invisible walls.
Gameplay - I tried elementalist, he can't cast on moving, he can't interrupt cast if need to move. Sad.
After 1h playing deleted it.
And why should you have any control over your character when you jump from a cliff?
