Teejvan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 After playing some Guild Wars 2 I can fully appreciate SWTOR. Now, I realise that GW2 is in beta, but as it stands their current graphics and performance of their game world is terrible in comparison to SWTOR! I know, it's crazy to think so but it is! Even TERA is shocking too. This is not to say that SWTOR can't learn some things from Gulid Wars 2, but I have every confidence Bioware will continue to listen to community feedback and improve their game. Guild Wars 2 has a looooooooooooong way to go I'm afraid. No doubt I will still play it when it launches. Oh, btw, I have a nVidia 680, Intel Core i7-2700k, SSD, 16gb of ram etc etc so I know my machine can handle high performance games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lularapio Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 if this thread were used to trash or downrate swtor instead of the other way around, it would be closed already. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellyn Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Frankly guys, i was playing GW2 all night, and i tried sooooooooo hard to like the game.... but no... Char feeling is absolutely awful... when your char is moving it doesnt feel like he's on the ground, it is more like floating... and when jumping? it's like a big box is in the air and lands down again... Camera responsiveness the worst i have ever seen... it's like you losing frames when in fact you are not... I won't comment on the ui since its stilll beta and i guess they ll fix it... The only reason someone will play this game it's because it is free, yeah i liked some abilties bla blah, nothing that i havent seen in other mmo's though... i won't play GW2, and that's my 2 cents... On the other hand ofc we have swtor.... and it's empty servers, and the "we invested tones on voice over "acting" and we forgot the content".... i just hope swtor transfers/merges will come out earlier than summer, i rly hope that, its a shame to lose more players,,, swtor is a very good game with gr8 potential, they just need to do some things to make it more appealing... and computer info: ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 4/28/2012, 13:13:00 Machine name: BIZELAKI Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850) Language: Greek (Regional Setting: Greek) System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Teejvan Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 I feel like if they could solve the server population issue in SWTOR and get it so you can see more people running around in the game world that it would go a long way to improving this game and removing the feeling of dead servers. Now they said they are going to introduce transfers so that you can move to a high population server but I would like to know more on the mechanis of how it would work.

Lord_Ravenhurst Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 dude, the servers are totally overcrowded, arena said they expect extreme lags and no one should be worried until they got the results from beta and the server architecture and protocol improvements afterwards. Got a pretty decent performance out even with more than 100+ players around me and max settings. One tip, turn of antialiasing, known issue that it's causing problems at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One tip, turn of antialiasing, known issue that it's causing problems at the moment Server overcrowding is not the problem. I was just logged in and even without the mad rush of people on my server I was getting about half the fps I get in ToR, and WvW is a slideshow. The game is pretty cool, but it's not the game that is going to make anyone leave their current MMO. Seriously, I honestly think GW2 could possibly be the most over-hyped game ever made.

How should i put it.... i expected a game that even if it is f2p, wouldnt look like f2p, and gw2 looks like f2p.... yeah, much better than the rest, but not for My taste...
