  1. okay. alright. i love the style of #Wildstar . The whole irreverent,
    tongue-in-cheek but not aimed at six year olds cartoon thing is just
    totally working for me. I’m going to have to play this one.

  2. I tend not to play MMO’s, but wildstar is growing on me. Sort of like a
    space western with the art style of Pixar. I might have to give it a try
    when it comes out.

  3. Ugh, too many awesome games on the horizon.

    Wildstar is an MMO, and probably fairly similar to existing games, but *shit-eating
    space hawk* does it looks *fantastic*.

    WildStar: Meet the Exiles [OFFICIAL HD]

    Warframe is a game I’ve *hungered for* since it’s original promo pre-Xbox
    360. It wasn’t Warframe then, but the designs have remained, and that’s
    what attracted me to it in the first place. It’s getting a free open beta
    this weekend!
    Warframe – Closed Beta Update 6 Highlights

  4. More WILDSTAR. I can dig it. Nice animations too. It’s kind of like a *Ratchet
    and Clank* MMO, in terms of style.

    *Also:* WildStar: Meet the Exiles [OFFICIAL HD]

    I love how the *Exiles* vid makes fun of Furries, while also making them
    playable. 🙂

    Lastly, observe that BOTH videos bring up species that they „won’t talk
    about“. 🙂

  5. Oh yeah! I’m definitely playing as an Exile, the rock looking race to be
    exact.

    Hey! +Matthew McCabe you going to play this too?

  6. *WildStar Flick: Dirty Little Secrets* by Carbine

    *“In our latest #WSFlick, we reveal our two last races, the Chua and the
    Mordesh. Between the Furry psychopathic mad scientist and the creepy
    diseased mutant, which one will you choose?“*

  7. I *really* hate being ignored, it’s very rude not to answer someone when they ask you a question, so answer this! So, what happened to the Beta applications we filled out in late 2011/early 2012…now that you’ve brought out „new“ apps?!

  8. I *really* hate being ignored, it’s very rude not to answer someone when they ask you a question, so answer this! So, what happened to the Beta applications we filled out in late 2011/early 2012…now that you’ve brought out „new“ apps?!

  9. Whoa, that is not true. There has been no announcement on pricing and everything was leaning towards the game and the community wanting non-F2P.

    Where do you hear this crazy rumors?

  10. Because pay to play means that we get content updates regularly without micro-transaction BS. Better customer support and less uncommitted players.

  12. wrong again, its term now use by class ridden bigot’s like yourself. also im a grandmother so they don’t suck eggs, hadn’t you heard dum prick?

  13. Except that you don’t need to be poor to have a southern drawl. There are poor people everywhere, and their dialects and slang don’t necessarily sound like that.

  14. No idea just guessed X_x
    Because A: It isnt the first time I saw cybernetic undead in gaming and B: 0:49 the fists in the air, one of them has a visible bone for arms

  15. Except I’m not talking about dialect I’m talking about the definition of the word peasant what I’m talking about the video someone thought they were funny lying about the meaning of the word peasant

  16. Are you sure? „I don’t like this peasant narrating voice acting, really annoying „y’all“ and all that shit.“
    „That „southern accent“ is like villager’s, and what do villages have? Peasants.“
    Southern accents don’t sound like medieval villagers. Tell me again how you aren’t referring to southern drawl as being intrinsically poor.
    For the record, here is the traditional definition of a peasant: „a member of a European class of persons tilling the soil as small landowners or as laborers

  17. First of all, if either side is the Horde I would say the Dominion is closer as the „civilized“ faction. Secondly I feel like they play with the alignments a bit here.

    Exiles = Chaotic Good
    Dominion = Lawful Evil

  18. @jjfngyd for sure dude you hit the nail on the head there BTW! im loving this game even more beware you might get addicted –> bit.ly/15dIblO?=vipdz

  19. Any faction with a race of giant Bunny rabbit people is the side of faggots mate. Even the small rat creatures of the dominion says ’sociopaths and psychopathic‘ in their description. There is an undeniable fact that Tree huggers are always on the side with the biggest Vagina, where as Dickheads tend to be ‚Horde, Sith, Dominion‘.
    And my Penis likes fucking and raping Vaginas…

    Logic – i had a point at one stage..

  20. …Ya know what? I should have known better. Should have known from the initial comment that this is the only kind of response that could have resulted by attempting to give reasonable reply. I apologize to all (except Faylum) and should have known from the get go that this guy was an ignorant vulgar idiot and sincerely regret feeding this troll.

  21. There WAS, so to speak. The Humans of the Exiles were part of the Cassians, some of them rebelled lead by one of the top Admirals of the Dominion when they felt like they were being mistreated by the Cassians with more Eldeen blood. Of course, they didn’t object to non-humans being mistreated before that… Anyhow, they were beaten and went into exile on their remaining ships, eventually linking up with other aliens.

  22. It would be really nice if being British didn’t make you a bad guy or supposedly a „bad guy“, still looking forward to the game, looks like a great time sink, good bye good marks.

    Anyway, signed up for the beta, hope to see some folks in game!

  23. sure is right, nobody can believe about this quickly. the thing is, it’s way easier than i thought do a few surveys and boom a few $100 extra in your bank every week. you can get it from here: bit.ly\11N0iMs

  24. As someone who actually is from the South, I find the accent offensive. Not because it makes the character look like a „peasant,“ but because it’s obviously and horrendously fake. It’s grating and obnoxious.

  25. when I first saw the Chua I expected Evil Ewoks but now with this added heavy dose of Gremlin to the mix I think I just found my race to play.

  26. @vnngtwe for sure dude you hit the nail on the head there also! dude this game is tight been playing all day ==> bit.ly/15TNRls?=chfmy

  27. it’s always the short people who are the genius -_- at least the robots are also scientist….. wait what? „chemical bomb explosion of unknown chemicals“

  28. the game looks awesome. hoping to try it when it comes out. Though the 2 new classes looks so much like the Arisen and the Gibberlings in Allods online.

  29. PLEASE MAKE IT BUY IT ONCE AND YOU DONT PAY ANY OTHER FEES BESIDES MICRO-TRANSLATIONS,PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  30. The Dominion has crushed all in its path. You exile’s think a little rag tag team of ruffians can stop the might of the Dominion? Brave. But foolish.

  31. People with a British accent make for great „classy villain“ stereotypes. Just how it is really. Hard to listen to a hardcore American southern accent and picture a classy rich person.

  32. Theory on why the English ( note not british) are always cast as the bad
    guy. Its an intelligent sounding accent. Americans fear intelligence.

  33. uh. Despite that not even being true (in what world do Americans write
    every story?), it’s probably more because the British are Americans‘
    historic enemy, even if they aren’t anymore. Moreover though, it’s because
    the British (and French, for that matter) are very much associated with old
    aristocracy and class, and the dominion vs. exiles was framed as a struggle
    between social classes.

  34. To add my two cents. I don’t have a problem with paying a sub fee, I have a
    problem with paying a sub fee, buying the game for $60, AND likely being
    expected to pay $30 – $40 for any x-pacs they release. If the game cost $15
    and included a month sub, or maintained it’s current price while including
    a 4-month sub, I would be filled with a great deal of good faith and
    wouldn’t hesitate to buy this game.

  35. Well yeah they do… GW2, Rift, Tera, hell even friggin Maple Story meets
    those requirements. Also the cost of servers isnt nearly as high as it used
    to be. Its a very minor expense at this point. The majority of money that
    an MMO gets goes towards paying employees and that can easily be covered by
    cash shop items if the game is popular enough.

  36. “ Aristocrats are a European concept that did not last long at all in
    America“ dont make me laugh, your entire country is practically owned by a
    few rich families who own all the business and buy and trade politicians at
    will; you just dont call them aristocrats and like to pretend you live in a
    functioning republic.

  37. I think the model is perfect. Being able to buy subscription with gold is
    great. Also we don’t need another casual MMORPG. Gw2 is a big casual boring
    festival with no elitism. Nothing in that game feels special because
    everyone has access to all pieces of gear skilled or not. WHICH SUCKS.
    Loving Wildstar’s approach to everything at the moment whilst keeping in
    elitism. There is nothing greater than progression through being better
    than other casual noobs.

  38. This game is going to have a subscription… thank god 😀 i only say this
    for one reason its not like i enjoy paying 15 dollars a month. but usually
    subscription based MMO’s tend to be worth it, also it tends to keep out the
    casuals cause they wont want to pay 15$ a month to play casually i mean why
    not go play GW2 -_- considering this is not really a casual game.

  39. I seriously can’t wait any longer for this game to go online! As far as I
    can gather from the dev speak vids, the dynamic and flexible battle
    mechanics remind me so much of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, which is
    never a bad thing. Who knows, I might seriously enjoy grinding so much on
    this game 😀

    OMG JUST RELEASE THE GAME. MY BODY IS READY.

  40. ok then… I’ve played a lot of ‚old‘ games, the majority of which were
    from the nintendo64, but i love character customization and am glad it’s
    now a aspect of various games. It allows you to express your personality
    through your characters unique appearance~ looking the same as everyone
    else is boring and visually unsatisfying. Like others in comments have
    stated, player housing just expands on this feeling of being your own
    person, and i’m personally really looking forward to this.

  41. This game looks great, but I have a feeling the PvP is going to be very
    imbalanced. The game mechanics just look too spread out for good PvP. I
    don’t have much faith in new MMORPGs these days, hopefully they prove me
    wrong and the game has more than just raiding and PvE.

  42. the *limited action set* you see lets you have 8/9 spells. However theres
    like 50 per class. So you can put together your class how you want with
    what you like and what you think works well

  43. „Just because people can’t wait for a tank or find a guild“ doesn’t justify
    removing the one aspect that makes group combat (the most fun aspect of
    MMORPGs) interesting. Seriously, if you want your solo game where nothing
    matters, go back to GW2. People who care will play games made by people who
    don’t 100% cater to the Dungeon Finder loner.

  44. You watch too many movies if that’s how you think the world actually works.
    I’m not saying it is a perfect system or that people don’t get bought, but
    it’s nowhere near as bad as you seem to think it is. Also, I suggest you
    look up what Aristocracy actually entails, because even in a world like you
    seem to think we live in, there’s a lot that precludes the Back Room Shadow
    Folk from being defined as such.

  45. More successful inventions? We made the internet sunshine. Sorry you simply
    haven’t had the time, you are like children in this world, and sadly you
    will not have your day, for the Chinese are coming. When you stop preaching
    creationism and the like, the rest of the world might not meet your claims
    of intelligence with raucous laughter.

  46. all 3 games u mentioned were starting to die out so they had to switch to
    ftp or face bankruptcy. Tera, great combat, but everything else was same as
    any other mmo. Aion, great graphics but same deal. SWTOR, awesome a SW
    universe, o w8, it’s same stuff just retextured and i just have a
    lightsaber that might as well be a stick. They failed cuz they didn’t do
    much of anything new AND they had sub’s so unless they wanted to remake the
    game, they only had 1 option. Subs themselves are fine.

  47. Gw2 sucked , 0 difficulty , if you dont wanna make trinity , you need to
    make a much more complex system , a new one. Gw2 was like , yo we broke the
    trinity , instead of that , 5 caster can do a dungeon without any
    difficulty and kidos can do it too.

  48. Well, it certainly looks like WildStar’s team of graphic designers have
    played World of Warcraft before! And I mean that in a good way, loving the
    visuals.

  49. What is the point of an RPG when we are forced to do things the popular way
    and not the way we want? We are forced to wield swords instead of axes
    because the best end-game melee weapon is a sword. We are forced to wear
    the „Plate Helmet of John Doe“ not because we like how it looks but because
    it is the best plate helmet. We are forced to be Fire Mages not because we
    like fire but because Frost is for PvP. After we have a decent gear and
    talent we realise that we are the same as others.

  50. You Trinity lovers have your arses licked by the WoW devs, they had 10
    years to perfect the Trinity system. Why would you leave them? New games
    should not aspire to top Blizzards 10 years old progress but try to find
    something else, something more fun. We had many failed WoW copies out
    there. An original company would give us more than the same old thing in
    better coating.

  51. SWTOR=> Same old crap. Why would I want to play a crappier version of WoW
    and EQ when I have WoW and EQ. TERA=> Grindfest hell. Standard in asian
    MMOs Alot of people seem to be forgetting that there are other sub MMOs
    asides WoW that is doing very well such as EVE online.

  52. Ανοίξτε την πύλη του WildstarGR και περιηγηθείτε στον χιουμοριστικό,
    διασκεδαστικό, στυλάτο και απολαυστικό κόσμο του πλανήτη Nexus. Στο
    πολυαναμενόμενο sci-fi MMO WILDSTAR που μας φέρνουν την άνοιξη του 2014 η
    ΝCsoft και η Carbine. Είτε Exile είτε Dominion, η ομάδα μας σας περιμένει!.
    Γίνε μέρος της ελληνικής Wildstar κοινότητας. Αναζητήστε μας στο facebook
    και στο Twitter!!!. Σύντομα κοντά σας και το επίσημο site.

  53. “America is owned by a few rich family’s“ Yes, good goy! Jews don’t
    control the media! We don’t represent 1/3 of you congress! Neither do we
    own goverment with a nice 220 trilion bank liable that we can demand
    anytime they do something we don’t like. no..not at all. (KHEHEHEHE STUPID
    GOYIAM)

  54. One of the things Wildstar has succeeded extremely well is the humor, which
    is easily left out from mmos nowdays for some reason. The trailers have
    been great so far, I can’t wait for the launch!

  55. It works is the reason. Take GW2, it removed the trinity and now they have
    no end game content that works properly. It’s nice to belong to a role, not
    just an individual in the party that can do exactly the same thing every
    other member of the group can do.

  56. Uh…I don’t quite get your point (Metagame I guess) relating to
    Wildstar…Do you want to say you prefer W*’s way of things, or another
    game’s way and dislike W*’s way? Kind of confused here

  57. My god, would the culture bashing just stop already? This is fucking
    ridiculous and you all sound like pompous assholes trying to outwit one
    another. It’s a video game.

  58. I want fluidity like C9 currently has that allows close range classes to
    deal combos with skills connecting together so they can dish out some
    steady damage. Obviously not all skills should be able to link but the less
    damaging ones should allow other skills to follow quickly after but the
    higher damaging ones shouldn’t so they become combo finishers. Also people
    should flinch when i hit them even with just a basic attack so this means
    people will need evasive skills as well with a cool down.

  59. Check list
    -Trowed money to the screen. (check)
    -Shoved money in the disc drive. (check)
    -Shoved money in USB port. (check)
    -Donated my organs to the company. (in progress)
    -Gotten the game or atleast beta. (not yet)

  60. Please do not forget the Brazilian players, and try to facilitate an easy
    way for us to pay the monthly fee, without needing a credit card
    internationally.

  61. I believe in one of your disclaimers you said that we should tell you if
    anyone was ‚causing me distress‘ I just had to tell you who because that
    ’so-and-so is going to get a stern talking to.‘ Well, I’d like to inform
    you that whoever was in charge of writing these disclaimers has caused me
    great distress by NOT FINISHING THE BLOODY JOKE!!!!! Seriously though… I
    just wanna know how it ends…

  62. The more Dev videos i watch, them ore i wanna play the game RIGHT NOW!
    And please, Devs, please don’t make Raids only for 40 people, that’s so
    maaaaaany people you need to assemble 🙁

  63. I love everything about this combat system so far, but I’m curious about
    auto-attacking.

    Is there auto-attack? Is it all based on which skill you use when? Do you
    lock on to whatever you’re targeting until you want to use a skill?

    I’d love to have a Vindictus style action-based attack system for melee
    characters, and 3rd person shooter style attacks for ranged.

  64. Should you have any difficulty reading this panel, please consult a
    porcumlogologist, which is a latin term I just made up and I leave for you
    to validate. Apologies to the localization team for what fun they’ll have
    translating this.

  65. I’d love to see a combo system, like in Remember Me, from Capcom, they have
    a customizable one. Something like that, the way you want, would be fun to
    play.
    (I love those action games that require many buttons pressed with combos
    and combo breakers)

  66. Loving all the gameplay concepts. Haven’t been this excited about an mmo in
    a long time. Also, just found out your goats are called Rowsdowers. That
    alone gets you a subscription. Any game company comprised of MS3TK fans
    instantly has a special place in my black heart.

  67. on another video of yours i commented on how good the animations are. i
    have to say, that the writing, voice actors and all are great.

  68. the bad thing with this is if you are shooting you cant sneak up on someone
    cause the player will se a huge red line on the ground so they know where
    you are hiding

  69. I fucking love these devs, they obviously know what to do and who to listen
    to. Also, these videos are just so hilariously derp XD

  70. Me and Kit Brinny are going to make some moonshine. Some of it we will
    drink, some we are just going to use to blow stuff up with.

    Hard part will be figuring out what one does what…

  71. To you who complain about box+sub+xpac: get a job. if you have a hobby that
    costs money, consider how much it costs. even box @60, sub @15 a month, and
    xpac @20(bi-annual?) that’s $260 a year. you spend more at McD’s eating
    lunch 4 days a week ($6x4x52=$1248). so stfu, and quit whining.

  72. Subscriptions tend to keep out the most annoying of people. Not all of them
    of course, but a large chunk of them, which still helps. I prefer p2p games
    for that reason alone.

    This game seems to have some interesting concepts and if nothing else, it’s
    great to see a MMO developer try something new for a change. Taking risks
    and innovating is not a common thing anymore. It’s just a long line of
    McMMO after McMMO.
    My only real issue with Wildstar is the graphics style. It looks like a
    children’s book.
    „Once upon a time an ugly little rat-like creature armed with guns went on
    a great quest to save the world…“ – I’m not 12. lol

  73. Teemo race confirmed.
    Also, why would you make a „good cool guys“ faction and a „sassy douches“
    faction? I mean, how many people would want to play dominion? Really im
    curious, comment here.

  74. On the one hand, I don’t want to support the hippies and the empire appeals
    to
    On the other hand they are trying way too hard to make them team (cartoon)
    evil

  75. You know, I prefer these guys than The Dominion, because The Exiles seem a
    lot more nice and fun. I always feel bad when choosing the jerk side of a
    game.

  76. I’ve been playing the beta for two weeks and JUST REALIZED the skills
    aren’t ‚push the button and wait‘. No wonder it’s seemed so painful to
    fight. lol

  77. When I was young like 12-15 years old and had no money or job I hated
    subscription based MMO’s but honestly now that i’m older and actually have
    money I don’t mind it.

    Mainly because F2P usually means bull shit like pay to win and you’ll
    usually end up getting locked out of content anyways and you will have to
    pay to access it. You just end of paying more money than if you just had a
    subscription.

    This way everyone pays the same thing, nobody gets unfair advantages and we
    get to enjoy more regular content updates.

  78. NC Soft is responsible for that grindy shitheap Lineage 2 aren’t they? Why
    would anyone want to play this with NC Soft anywhere near it?

  79. Game over as soon as I heard the British Accent, so much more sonically
    pleasing than the silly American Babe – Dominion FTW!

  80. I sure as hell hope there’s going to be A LOT of Aurin slaying on the
    Dominion side. I loathe those things. The Mechari should be set on total
    annihilation and extermination on the Aurin.

  81. Well with the ammount of people who want to play as furries the Dominion
    are in a bit of a pickle xD So many people „OMG THE AURIN ARE SO KAWAII“…
    They’re annoying on PvP servers… I’d hate to see the RP servers…

  82. My primary concern raised by this video (and the CC one re: stun) is the
    fact that I’ll now have to run a script with the ideal press speed every
    time I want to play „serious“. „tap it quick“ in general isn’t much of a
    fun activity, but it’s particularly silly on PC because it’s so easy to
    automate.

  83. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that, but this is still a great trailer! TF2
    still is the king of game trailers and characters

  84. The Exiles seem to be like the Horde but act like the Alliance while the
    Dominion seems to be like the Alliance but act like the Horde.

    Clever.

  85. Судя по всему, отличная игра, от которой я с удовольствием буду смотреть
    скрины и арты. Примерно как World of Warcraft.

  86. The game is so awesome, such a different level of difficulty, I have
    uploaded Dungeon bosses videos if anyone wants to check them out if you’re
    unsure about buying the game or not 🙂

  87. do people get to have more then Class to play as or do they just have 1?
    also in the near distant future will the devolpers of Wildstar be releasing
    & new Races & Classes?

  88. Dominion, making you their bitch since year XXXXXX . Enjoy your time in
    hell, because the dominion will ensure their having a great time being your
    tortures.

  89. So one of the factions is inherently the bad guys? How boring.
    Doesn’t make for a very interesting faction. And as a result makes the
    Exiles boring as well. This mind as well be a Star Wars MMO that possibly
    sucks less.

  90. Uhm, pardon. Did he say *again*!?

    Chua pranks (according to Mondo Zax) are never less then a 79% fatality
    rate.

    Sir. FauxBritish here must be one of the luckiest Cassians alive.

  91. I think we need a more „balanced“ viewpoint.
    – like make a video with the hosts‘ relative counterparts (with Malvolio’s
    kindhearted sibling/sibling’s offspring/offspring, and Kit’s violent
    sibling/cousin/parents).
    – Toric (one of the few decent Dommies) and Widow (one of the few
    villainous Exile scums).

  92. Here’s one Exiles‘ Dirty Secrets:
    – They killed the innocent farmers in Hycrest under the order of Black
    Hoods.
    – Recklessness that tend to do their own damage (Algoroc excavation,
    Whitevale’s gas explosion, and other shenanigans).
    That and both factions have PCs who are implied to be psychopathic (ear
    collecting, flaying skins, and sometimes skull taking).

  93. We need some balanced view on the videos since
    – Dominion have Toric Antevian since he’s one of the most benevolent
    character and a paladin.
    – You can make a case of quarantine but the players can set up hospitals
    (Dominion Healthcare with smug Highborn’s taxes) and killed the Highborn
    family for slaughtering peasants that other Highborns are horrified at them.
    – Most Exile scientists are reckless and almost destroying Algoroc had the
    robot not got its feet stuck by a door.
    – Exiles started a plague on peasant farmers under the order of their
    spymistress, „The Widow“.
    Spoiler:

    Also the game should have both faction work (or betray) each other in the
    face of Strain’s Armageddon.

  94. Let’s see
    – Dominion banned slavery and fought against Darkspur Cartels (Mafias), and
    Marauders (Pirates) from their subjects.
    – Vigilant Church and its members is actually nice if you aren’t murdering
    its congregations or poisoning a village for your own gain.
    – Draken may seem ruthless but they actually okay with „defending the weak“
    part and their ladies are the most sexiest characters in the game.
    – Toric Antevian, Vigilant Star and a paladin of Wildstar verse.

  95. So, there’s the MMORPG *Wildstar* that many have written off as a failure.
    But after playing it for 3 hours so far (Lv.6), I think things might work
    out really well between this game and I! Here are some facts, thoughts, and
    observations from my first impression of the game (which is presently 50%
    off on Amazon):

    > Having now played this game for a bit, I have to admit a pretty big
    sadness that Wildstar hasn’t exactly been successful. It’s clear that a
    great deal of heart and sweat were poured into this experience!

    Firstly, I guess people had a lot of complaints when it first came out
    late-ish last year. But I’ve heard that a lot of those complaints have been
    addressed by now, and that’s one of the big reasons I decided it was time
    to dive in.

    Secondly, the MMORPG market is getting rather saturated, and it’s getting
    harder to be noticed and appreciated. This is especially true if you have a
    subscription fee and are using the old World of Warcraft-style formula as
    your foundation. (But hey, things worked out for Final Fantasy 14 despite
    these!)

    > I’m not an end-game guy, and I’m not much for dungeons or PvP, so
    whatever failures this game has in those areas aren’t going to be much felt
    by me. I usually forgo PvP entirely, and avoid dungeons when I can. As for
    the end-game, I usually just make a new character or stop playing when I
    hit maximum level. My only real goal in an MMORPG is just to hit maximum
    level and have fun along the way. (But, I confess, I’ve only gotten to max
    level once, and it was in Final Fantasy 14.)

    > I hear the housing system is one of the best ever seen in an MMORPG. I
    have yet to see it, though.

    > So far every inch of this game has been bursting with personality, it
    really has. It makes the game feel alive and organic.

    > You can really tell that the developers took a lot of time to focus on
    detail and polish. It’s actually rather impressive.

    > The visuals are absolutely gorgeous. It’s what World of Warcraft would
    have looked like if it was released in 2014 as opposed to 2004. I greatly
    prefer these sorts of heavily stylized cartoony visuals over the realism
    found in other MMORPGs like Final Fantasy 14, Guild Wars 2, and Star Wars:
    The Old Republic.

    > There’s some great music here, and it’s used well. I was actually
    surprised at how good the music was.

    > I created an Exile-human-medic-explorer, Vespin Feebler, on the Entity
    PvE server.

    > Not just a race and class, but also a path. Neat. My explorer path has me
    do special exploration-related quests in each region, and I’m told how many
    are left waiting to be found. I can also go some places that other paths
    cannot go.

    > Paths level up independently of class.

    > Humor! Loads of humor! There seems to be something to cause at least a
    chuckle all the time. Leveling up, for example, is hilarious. The game goes
    all „monster truck madness commercial“ on you in celebration. As another
    example, it goes all „Unreal Tournament“ on you when you get double-kills
    or triple-kills, etc. „DOUBLE KIIILL!“

    > The game calls me „cupcake“ a lot. Somehow I find it endearing.

    > Combat is bombastic, being much more action-oriented than I’m used to
    seeing in MMORPGs. It starts with no auto-attack (or at least I didn’t see
    one), and your ability-attacks all have to be properly and strategically
    aimed. You also have the ability to dodge ability-attacks from the enemy
    like in Final Fantasy 14. The difference is that you now have your own that
    work the same way!

    > Double-jumping? Yes please. Thankees.

    > The game flow has been good so far. No „dead spots“ of nothing
    interesting to do or not knowing where to go. (Then again, I’m only level
    6.)

    > There are various objects of Lore to discover. „Using“ them gives you
    more setting lore.

    > I love factions in MMORPGs and was sad to see there weren’t any in Final
    Fantasy 14 and Guild Wars 2. Being a member of a faction makes you feel
    like you’re in an exclusive club, and it makes you feel like you belong to
    a big family. It gives you a real sense of identity in the game. Nice to
    see the Exiles and the Dominion in Wildstar.

    ——-

    As I continue to level I’ll probably discover some of the rough spots
    people have been complaining about. Maybe. I have a hope that the game has
    been largely, if not entirely, ironed out at this point.

  96. So, there’s the MMORPG *Wildstar* that many have written off as a failure.
    But after playing it for 3 hours so far (Lv.6), I think things might work
    out really well between this game and I! Here are some facts, thoughts, and
    observations from my first impression of the game (which is presently 50%
    off on Amazon):

  97. I love they way Wildstar looks, I love the interface, the combat system
    kicks the living shit out of anything out there(imo wow is f**king boring),
    but they made far to many mistakes from launching before the game was
    done. PVP focused mmo’s with no end game PVE outside of grind. I really
    want this game to do well, I am still playing but damn.. =(
