I really wish they would make a video on character customization. I'm going to be really disappointed if it works like PSO or if Humans are the only ones with two genders.

I signed up for the beta when the last thread was still active. A week or two ago I got an email asking me to take a "pre-beta" survey which would improve my chances of getting into the beta. I'm not holding my breath though. I hardly ever get any interesting beta invites.

I think you're is in, this is what you get for signing up:

Gotta love that how they pulled off that Video, its like they took everything good from WoW and everything good from EQ2 (Player Housing, Guild Houses, etc) and merged them together into a mega sci-fi game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtl_tBRPWDU 45 minute dev presentation from the last page goes into a lot more detail about housing. Long, but worth watching at least the first half.

In that 45 minute presentation video, the dev said that people get experience for helping someone from a different path do their thing. And from the videos, it looks like the path stuff is on top of the normal combat and questing. I doubt you'll be able to level entirely through non-combat as an explorer or settler.

Just watched it, good presentation and then they mentioned UI Modding (Addons).
I have no reason to not pass this game up now and not like I was going too anyways.

It would be nicer if the telegraph system wasn't just on the ground, a volumetric box of the attack would be better.

There was a beta patch notes leak that happened a day or two ago. Carbine decided to run with it and has officially posted those beta patch notes themselves! Of the incident, and the reason they are putting the patch notes up, they say:


Which I think is a pretty cool thing, as it gives people stuff to chew on and discuss (or maybe that's a bad thing :v:). The notes are quite long and there's a ton of stuff in a number of areas, including classes.

Yeah, I understand. Aurin have a ton of different ear styles, though (I was relieved the day I found out they weren't all simply BunnyGirls). Someone on the Wildstar Central forums collected a sample of them, here's a pic:



Also, it was in the Exile trailer that showed off the races when the trailer talked about Aurin.

Excellent, but if I don't have documentation or the complete Wildstar API I can always get the client to tell it to me. ;)

That's basically what turned me off to Tera. Loved most of the game but I just could not play a game where my class did one thing and one thing only. Rift spoiled me I guess, but really hoping the classes in wildstar have at least more than one option. Have we even seen any healers?

Welp, Rift is going F2P. That leaves WoW as one of the last major western MMO subscription holdouts, and it's stumbling. It would be very stupid and shortsighted of Wildstar to be a solely sub-based game at this point.

Titan might just make WoW go Free to Play if Titan itself is Free to Play.

I hope you're right about the open beta, because I'm hesitant to put money down after the beta weekends. I'll go ahead and echo everyone else and say that I'd probably have found the game more engaging if the combat felt a bit more fast-paced and things died faster. Also, having played a spellslinger, I noticed more than a few of my shots would sail over my target's head if I didn't take elevation into account. This was disheartening.

The Wildstar twitter said there would be open beta along with the beta weekends.

I pre-ordered my basic edition. I'm not even sure I want to play anymore. A lot of my friends still play WoW and some of them recently went back. I got a 1 week trial of the panda expansion and I got my rogue to level 19. gently caress me, that game is STILL boring as poo poo. So many collect this many arbitrary widgets and kill that many whosiwhatsits. The only saving grace WoW has over this that I noticed was a greatly reduced TTK. I could kill a guy in about 5 seconds regardless of level from 1-19. gently caress that game forever. I have 6 days remaining in that trial, never going back.

I really, REALLY hope I can convince some SFD to come give Wildstar a try. Those guys and gals and fat Canadians can make things fun.

Let TESO run its course and some may give Wildstar a shot.

It really feels like all they did was tack AoE onto every ability and call it a day.
That would be true but you have to remember Wildstar uses a targetless combat system while other games like STO, Champions Online, NW and TESO require targets for many abilities to take action.
TESO is a good example, for melee abilities to work the player needs to have a target in range and in their reticule.

One of the first Wildstar gameplay videos from 2011 and at the time targeting was required for abilities to be used.

I'm not sure if it's just me but it feels like the closer we get to launch the more hype is dying down. Is this actually a thing that's happening or is my own little circle of friends just for some reason not caring as much anymore? There's even rumblings among people I know after playing the Wildstar beta going "hm, why don't we reactivate our WoW toons?".

Prelaunch lull, happens with nearly every game. Once it gets closer to June you'll see more people talking about it.
