Eso vs GW2

[King of Arrogance]

i wanna know what ppl think are cons and pros

[Tattoo]

according to mmostats dot com GW has daily population of 250k while ESO has daily 500k.
so there's that

[Яadu-TB]

imo both are good games, but they are different and depends on ones tastes, you can try both of them for 20-30 hours each and stick with what you like.

ESO's voice acting is so amazing I don't think GW 2 can compare in that region.

[Kyutaru]

They both use similar spammy gameplay, but Guild Wars 2 features cooldowns while Elder Scrolls Online features resource limitations. In that way, Guild Wars 2 has the better combat while Elder Scrolls Online has the better gearing progression, as gear is mostly irrelevant in Guild Wars 2.

[Halcyform]

The primary difference between them is the quality of life options such as various game settings which include controller support - this is where ESO is better.

Outside that. GW2 is largely the better game due to better combat, pvp and much, much better public events.

And while it's a matter of taste, I prefer the art in GW2.

[ImprovKnight]

Well ESO might change pvp combat to help noobs out and make it super bare bones. So make you choice

[ILoveRiyoChuchi]

GW2 is an ugly, and boring game. I tried it and the starting area was so awful and I couldn't even at least tolerate it to see if it got better.

People that play it say that it's their 'side MMORPG' that they pick up when they're bored of their main game. They also say that the quest/story are bad and the dialogue sucks, but "whatever, I still like it" I guess.

The only good things that I see online that people say about GW2 is that the combat is great (with specific emphasis on PvP) and the flying mounts have a cool mechanic like the one World of Warcraft copied for Dragonflight.

Wouldn't even compare GW2 to anything because almost any other popular MMORPG including honorable mentions are better options.

The MMO genre as a whole is stagnant and the genre itself can be considered in a death spiral.

I just dont understand why they cant give the noob pve players this venegence mode and keep old cyro for people who actually have spent hours upon hours crafting, grinding, building characters and play styles.

because grinding is what they need u do to stay more time in their game, and eventually spending more money. no worries, they will surely release this so called new testing mode as official then introduce u seasonal gear to farm every season.

and your point about old cyro for old pvp player while this new mode for noob pve player is not correct, because noob pve player eventually left cyrodil, they never have patient for pvp, else they would have already joiining old cyrodil

[ImprovKnight]

New cyro is so boring... it feels like esports

[CaptainButterham]

The new vengeance campaign is just a beta test.

every test have their purpose and plan. even though some lies about no plan at all as per replied by xxx here (i cant mention them, will get warning of ban). u wont test a server like this kind then u tell everyone u already gathered information about reduce lag with limit skill and gear, then u do nothing at all for old cyro server then, means u doing stupid testing. but what is more funny is even they get this kind of feedback regarding reduced lag, in matter of fact, u cant use these kind funny limitation on actual cyro server, u sure losing bunch of pvp players. so the plan of testing itself is.......(again i cant put the word here, u can imagine it, they now ban ppl with ridiculous reason)
