Probably also because it's a beta. Battlefield 3 saw a 20ish fps increase for me when the first patch was released during the Beta - and even more when new drivers for my gfx card were released (560GTX Ti)

So how are you liking it anyway?
About that dynamic fighting..

..it's one of that game's main features
I expected GW2 to be better then this :/ It's 2012, the graphics are bad, the animations are ... idk the word for it, the dynamic fighting? Tera does better.
It looks like a WoW expansion IMO.
Why would you pick GW2 over Tera ? o.o
I swear to god i want to murder some one every time i see some jack ass say a game is a WoW clone.
Hey settle down.
Wow set the standard for mmo's and whenever someone sees another mmo they sometimes say its a wow clone. That is their oppinion and they are entitled to it, wheather or not you agree is your own problem.
I for one think everygame has its own unique twists and turns but if everyone said it was a clone of something else their wouldn't be a market for mmorpgs.
As I said, you can compare the GW2 graphics with RIFT, but please keep in mind they already had playable content in 2007, so changing the graphic's engine then it would've meant to make another game again after developing this one...
The game can't really be compared with WoW as it's maybe a different gender of MMO ? You take everything from other MMO's like Vindictus's dynamic fighting combined with AOC's and better than both, you take world events from RIFT, but they are better, quests are fun, you don't need to grind, you can either go and kill or defend as quest, or you can go farm, transport water and alot of other stuff, basicly you level the way you want!
The skill effects are actually awesome and at high level, it will be very unlikely your character is not unique, with arranging the skills to use, the items, everything!
Also this game put's PVP and guilds in the center, the stuff why I actually play MMO's and not single RPG's
They also stole the ideea from diablo3 with the money auction house, which is awesome if you ask me.
Also 60$ for life ? That's a bargain for everyone, seriously
it's not a different gender, it's rather redefining the genders mechanics.. also world events were original in warhammer online.. so was this kind of wvw.. warhammer was far best pvp mmo
I want to murder everyone who says WoW set the standard for MMOs.
Everquest was around way before WoW. WoW just took advantage of the Warcraft lore and made an "Everquest" that appealed to younger players.
EQ set the standard for MMOs.

GW2 wont be as popular as most other MMOs. Why? GW2 is made to be completely balanced regarding PvP. The problem with that is people who invest a lot of time in a game want to be significantly better in PvP than players who started say a month ago. People want to go around raping newer high leveled players with their insanely upgraded gear for bragging rights.
Thats why people still play korean grindfests.... Upgrade your shit and own everyone who didn't spend as much money and time as you.

We'll see about that...
+1
Also even if EverQuest was first, WoW came over the top, they stole the ideeas, and made it better, that's how everything works, so I agree that WoW sets the standards for MMO's, the millions of people still playing show that
I personally am not a WoW fan, but I have respect for what they accomplished

I have yet to read a preview that doesn't speak in superlatives. This one more than any I read before.

beat this Tera
I hope this game never comes out because I will loose what is left over of my social life...
Because Tera is shit. I'll be somewhat surprised if Tera ever gets released. They stole the majority of their code from ncsoft's L3. Most likely they will go bust sometime in the not to distant future.
As for the graphics, have you actually played it? You can't comment on the graphics from videos because you have no idea what settings the player has on. Not to mention GW2 has a distinctive art style they wanted to create. Personally I think it looks fantastic, by far the best looking mmo to be released soon. No it's not skyrim, it needs to be able to be played on far more systems with thousands on players, and mmos take a lot longer to develop.
As for a WoW expansion, surely that is a compliment? Wow is the most successful mmo ever created. Being an updated version of the best mmo ever, that is why it will be a fantastic game. Tera? An expansion to L2, so billions of bots and gold sellers? awesome.
It's the most successful mmo of all time. People compare mmos to wow because it's a yard stick every self respecting mmo gamer should be familiar with. That is what a standard is. Just because EQ was released first doesn't make it a standard. Do you think metric or imperial were the first measurement systems? No. They are just the most popular, and thus now everyone uses them. If you want to compare an mmo to something and haven't played wow, well then frankly your opinion is worth fuck all because you have no basis for comparison to 99% of the mmo playerbase.
I envy people who haven't played WoW personally. It is still a fantastic game, it's just I feel I've done everything it has to offer. If only I could forget I've played it, it would be very much worth playing it again!
