Rift has no cities, no guild housing, and is lacking in many other things.....but it does have rifts you can grind on!
Tera for sure.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Rifts use of the gamebryo engine ruined it for me! With that said, and no comparision! Tera owns Rift in every single way! The graphics are optimized wayyyyy better and it looks sooo much better than Rift will ever look. Tera is going to be amazing and if you don't believe me go watch some Korean release streams of people playing from the US, they will show you everything you need to know =]
I tried RIFT, and I could have sworn I'd played that game before - about 5 or 6 times before.
While I haven't played TERA yet, from what I do know about the game, and the videos I've seen, it's a lot different from the "more of the same" of RIFT.
Comparing Rift to Tera would be like comparing Xbox360 vs playstation 4, since Tera is not released even in beta in english.
I've played it countless of hours, how I will not go into since these kind of discussions aren't allowed - you'll have to go to onRPG then.
The state of Tera right now is not so good, it's bleeding players due to the massive amount of cheaters. It's an easy game to exploit and it will be when it's released for the western population.
Tera is infested with cheats, Tera is an asian MMO aka grindfest in one way or another.
Rift is a WoW clone, right down to the UI and gameplay but with a different packaging.
Rift is better than Tera.
u can get max lvl in under 2 weeks.. how can u say its a grinder ? linage 2 was a grinder but not this game. oh and dont say u need to grind instance in tera for items.. what u do in rift all day after u hit max lvl ? u grind items in instance...
It would definitely be interesting to heal without tab targetting.
The thing is, this thread is pointless. One game is out and playable right now, the other will take at least six months to be released (my out of my ass release estimate).
Tera gets my vote. It will definitely be more fun just from evolving from the old autoattack/rigid targeting system model. Rift is just too much like WoW, and TBH, the combat and animations in Rift are lame, partially probably due to the gamebryo engine limitations. Rift combat animations look like it's being played in slow-motion, and feels very much like Warhammer Online 2.0.
Tera is better than Rift in every way. Only reason people are playing Rift is simply because its new and there is nonthing else out there. As soon as the next AAA mmo comes people are going to jump ship. Rift is just a cheap filler mmo.
The only difference between Rift and WoW is... well.. the rifts. It's a very cheaply made MMO. Boring endgame. Repetitive PvP focused on how much burst damage you can do.
'Nuff said? 'Nuff said. The graphics engine is just terrible, btw. Laggy as fuck, and I have a perfectly capable computer. Don't believe me? Look on the Rift forums. Some people don't have problems, but a lot of people do. I can run every other MMO out there on ultra settings very smoothly. Rift doesn't even look that much better and I'm laggy as shit. Even when I put everything on ultra low, it barely changes anything.
Tera looks OK - BUT.......... I can never understand the use of Furry little animals as a Race - well not unless it is a Childs game - which Tera isn't.
But barring the Popori - it looks ok
I am an Abstract sort of Creature Who Dislikes any sort of Restraint If you try to pigeonhole me I Will Break Free!
after first eu test everything is clear tera > rift. a simple lvl 22 elite got more abillitys than a rift lvl 50 end boss. its so much harder and more fun than any other mmo atm
When Tera launches later this year Rift will go down the same road FFXIV is in now, DESERTED.
Tera is that good. Don't believe me, then go check out some streams of the game and ask the streamers all the questions you want.

Neither. But if I were to play a game from the East I would be more inclined to play Archeage than Tera anyway.

I don't like Rift. I have high hopes for TERA and it looks fun and is bringing something new to the genre. I'll just have to wait and see.
My theme song.
For me, it's TERA without question.

Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
Archeage isn't even announced for a EU/NA release,unless something has changed.Anyway its at least 1-2 years away from a west release.
Who else thinks that the uninformed will still be mistakenly characterizing TERA as a "Korean grinder" 5 years after release?
From everything I've seen from people who've played it, TERA is NOT a grinder.

TERA ftw! I think tera will take alot of players from other mmo´s

well now that we know Rift sucks, we shall see if Tera is any better.

it looks like Lineage because it was going to be released as Lineage 2 before

No doubt its absolutely RIFT, Well Tera is nice but comparing those 2? No Match..
