New World: Aeternum
Open-world PvP wars and outpost rush involve adaptive opponents
Star Wars: The Old Republic
PvP warzones feature real adaptive opponents
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
New World: Aeternum
Gear drops add variance but crafting reduces reliance on RNG
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Gear drop RNG is present but secondary to ability knowledge
Optimization6 vs 7
Star Wars: The Old Republic leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
New World: Aeternum
Weapon mastery and territory control strategies are systematically solvable
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Advanced class ability rotations and set bonus builds are solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
