What have I been doing lately? Mostly playing ESO, but, with the character name release, I recently re-downloaded TERA and have decided to give it another shot.
ESO pluses:
- Great story, lots of dialogue (or RP if you prefer)
- Community involved and less immature than in WoW
- Expansive world with a LOT to keep you occupied
- Responsive customer service and support team
- Great guilds. I even found an LGBTQ-friendly guild full of awesome people.
ESO negatives:
- Graphics are a bit behind the times
- Some bugs
- No DLC added yet, despite promises
- Small patches with no new content
TERA pluses:
- Shiny graphics
- Cute characters with a lot of clothing options
- Engaging combat with looming threat of death
- Can be challenging
TERA negatives:
- Weird community. Elin race obsession confirmed and creepy.
- Poor support and customer service.
- Some bugs/brokenness.
- Story has yet to engage me
- Difficult to get back into or to start out
You know what they both have in common? They're not WoW and that's a great thing!
I have gotten so tired of the WoW bullshit and community, not to mention the fact that all I've done in-game for the past 3 months is log in and take care of garrison missions.
With the release of patch 6.2, that may change, but I won't hold my breath.
The things that used to captivate me about the game have lost their allure. I'm no longer a fresh-faced Night Elf bracing the wilds of Azeroth, exploring new zones and experiencing the magic.
I have made a few additional posts about ESO on my other gaming blog that was mostly geared towards WoW, http://a-girls-eye-view-of-azeroth.blogspot.com/
