I played teso 2 beta weekends and i honestly cant stand the animation in general. Thats why i decided to try Tera last weekend cause they have the same non tab targeting system. And man whata difference!! I can say that tera >>>> teso if we speak about animation and combat in general. Sorry to say that i rly wanted to like teso

I personally think TESO has the worst combat in an MMO I ve seen in years I couldn t stomach it for very long.
Combat & Combat Animations are the main reasons i really hate this game. They are both awful.Adding the lack of Group PvE Content & Raids makes this game unplayable for me.
Agree that others may like it, but not me
No question OP, ESO has some of the ugliest animations of any MMO created but you should have expected this , it is a elder scrolls game after all. No doubt Tera blows this games animations out of the water but that's about where it ends as far as which game is better. If we are going to go blow for blow with each game I'll take ESO's open vibrant explorable world any day over Tera's boxed in kiddie park .
Aloha Mr Hand !
I couldn't stomach TERA for more than a few hours. Game would be a great cure for insomnia.
ESO has kept me captivated for the last 48+ hours.
While not my favorite game ,Tera has a real open world with no loading screens compared to the tons of loading screens of TESO and while you can't dive in water you can at least swim so if you want to speak of open worlds maybe you are referring to skyrim because teso is not one.
Lol, I m so sick of people claiming TESO is so open and explorable world, like it s another AC. It s as themepark as the last.
i'll take ESO combat over TERA combat any day. TERA's animation locks are just disgusting to me. With that said, combat in ESO has a HUGE downside and that is the awful and obvious tab targeting system hidden behind a reticle. I seriously dont know what ZoS was thinking when they decided to do this instead of making it similar to Skyrim's non-target based combat..... but the combat itself feels way better than TERA's heavy animation locks.
Also everything in TERA feels limited. Combat is limited to a few animations (with locks to make it worst), running feels unrealistically limited (from standing animation to running animation without momentum), Jumping is horribly limited without jumping attacks and when you jump you cant do anything until you land. Everything is tied to animation locks in TERA.... damn....
MY personal opinion. Different people like different things.
TBF, Skyrim had just about as much loading. Entering any structure, dungeon, etc = load. Fast travel somewhore = load. The main world / zones are quite open and large. You dont feel like youre boxed in like in many other games.
Tear is for kiddies. Straight up, right there. It's a big flashy carnival cartoon with gimmicks and numbers flying all over the screen, 12 year old looking pedo-wetdream-avatars... yeah, you go ahead and go play it then. Have fun.
For quite some time now, we've been getting alot of these "ESO and P2P is for mature adults" comments around the forums.
The closer you look, the more the irony start to show.
Its interesting how different opinions are when it comes to whether or not ESO is a "open world" explorable experience. To me it definitely is and feels just massive in scope. Im only lvl 8 and the only loading screen I have encountered is from newb island to the mainland. Not exactly a game breaker, to me at least
The zones are insane in size and there is so much real-estate to cover so I guess even though zone to zone may not be seamless like WOW it does a great job of disguising this with the scope of each lanmass/zone. Its not like you are hoping from zone to zone evry lvl, You are spending such a large amount of time in each zone you don't even think about whether the wordl is seemless or not.
In Tera it was so lame because, You cant climb the mountain in the backround & you don't have multiple paths to get from point A to Point B . ESO is OPEN and allows you to plot any course you want to get to your destination, Really a great job by zenimax giving you that skyrim feel.
Aloha Mr Hand !
Veru true
i agree.
Also, WoW is not completely seamless because you have loading screens between continents. Its only seamless within the same piece of land. I dont think there is an mmo with full seamless world right now but if WoW made the zepelin / boats actually travel instead of loading a screen from continent to continent that would be huge, or other game for that matter.

I must say that I very much prefer the combat of ESO against anything else (MMO-.wise.) I mean, the only MMO what comes even close is DDO, and it does so with completely different reasons. - Back to ESO; The animations are mostly beautiful and smooth, and I have nothing to complain about the character and world visuals, though, I would say that the skills are just a bit too flashy (but, that is, sadly, to be expected these days..)
The setting also helps, with the world being familiar from over three games in the past.
And for TERA and the like? I must say that I can't stomach any big flashy oriental fantasy. They just don't click for me.
We?re all dead, just say it.
I can only say, that despite thegood looking annimations of TERA i cant stand how theyroot you in place...
and thats why i prefer eso annimations a thousand times more then tera

Hm...sick eh? I am sick of people hating just for the sake of it. You know I absolutely hate Wildstar but I don't go to every thread about it and try to ruin others opinion or just be an rear. People think what they will and nothing you say will change it. ESO feels pretty open to me.

So, did ESO have a successful launch? Yes, yes it did.By Ryan Getchell on April 02, 2014.

Tera is a joke and really...TERA is open world? most of zones are closed in narrow canyons. This applies too alll but a few zones. I know played it when I really bored.
Was level 30 in 10 hours...killed a lot of the same boars and cats and junk and the combat got old in that game...its a little too flashy for me and it does't seem real enough.
What MMO's do you prefer over TESO, just curious. GW2, WoW, maybe Wildstar or the EQ Next?
Well when I played Terra I was totally turned off by their over the top, particle crazed art style that totally undermined whatever good animation there might have been underneath that whole mess...
And their combat system where you're constantly battling 32,000 insignificant critters with AOE or a boss the size of a jumbo jet...
And I won't even get into the whole pedo-anime race thing...

I must say I didn't mind the combat in ESO, but no game has captivated me combat wise like TERA, it's true, the animation lock is pretty tough early on but the combat just keeps getting better and better and by level 60 with max attack speed weapons and all your glyphs the combat just becomes incomparable to any other game.
The game was just so well done in the combat department, dungeons started off as 5 mans where you would spend a week wiping and failing the dungeon, as you got skilled and learned the boss attack patterns and got more gear it would go from 5 man to 4 man to 3 man to 2 man to eventually people solo'ing them, the progression in dungeons was crazy because of it being 100% skill based and every ability being able to be dodged or blocked and combos maximize dps so you learn to weave them between boss moves until you're like a machine and can solo dungeons that two months ago you and your party spent a week constantly failing as five people.
That aspect is not something other MMOs have replicated. No other game was I able to progress from barely completing a dungeon with 5 people to eventually getting so skilled/geared that with a ton of patience and focus I could solo the dungeon over a considerable amount of time but take 100% of the loot for myself and get a huge sense of accomplishment.
