Glad both of you are enjoying it

Only gotten to level 11 myself and have yet to do much of anything due to the constant crashes but so far I am enjoying myself. Hopefully I can get up to a decent level when I have more time to play next week then maybe we could group up and do some group content?

I've done everything possible to get my hands on one and no luck. Glad everyone's enjoying it so far, I'm hearing good things!

Lone Stone

just all the more for you to enjoy when it goes live knox ! I kinda dont want to beta this one incase i burn out. Anyways i thought the nda was lifted for for the first 15 levels of this game ?

Eoin247

I think i'm one of the only people voluntarily not doing the beta! I always like to start my main character that i'm gonna keep without having experienced the game before.

Lone Stone

Nice housing video

Dermighty

I'd love a beta key if anyone has one spare!

no its not, beta players can only discuss what has been released, nothing else.

Dcully

I logged in yesterday as i heard if i did so on a Saturday id get a key each Saturday to give out, no joy however apparently that offer is finished.

Dermighty

Nobody has a key to give out?

Eoin247

You can discuss anything in the first 15 levels as long as it's not from your own personal experience (Unless you are part of the press)

So how are people finding the game so far? Been looking for a new mmo to get into for a while now and this seems like a great one.

KilOit

cba with a long breakdown of it but put it this way i will be subscribing to it on release

GHOST MGG

if any kind boardsie still has a spare friends key id be much obliged:-)

Dcully

Ive only played 2 characters to lv 9 or so, i dont want to go too far as i want the game to be new when i buy it.
What i did play was very very fluid and totally polished.
I will be playing more but maybe not go past lvl 15-20.

Big Knox

Still no luck, entered a couple of give-aways so fingers crossed.

There was a guy streaming lastnight and giving away keys every hour.

Sephiroth_dude

Is this close to being released?

Gunmonkey

They have been aiming for a spring release, which could be anywhere in the next 3 or 4 months, but what Ive seen on streams looks very polished but endgame could still be pretty unfinished, NDA blocks anyone describing after lvl 15 in the beta.

Date could also put it in competition with Elder Scrolls Online (April 4th I think).

Yeah there seems to be a lot of keys around so hopefully I'll get my hands on one soon.

How is this any different to guild wars 2?

Hated GW2, tried so many times to like it but just wasn't happening.

Wildstar feels like vanilla WoW to me, it flows like it but combat is way better in Wildstar.
I guess you could say the combat is like GW2 but the quests and leveling is more like WoW, same with the professions.

GW2 tried too hard to look great and try be this epic thing, Wildstar is just fun to play and look at, doesn't take itself too seriously. Animation and aesthetic in Wildstar is fantastic, it's just so fluid, GW2 was clunky to me.

Wildstar has a few issues but i feel the groundwork is there and few improvements here and there and it'll be great.
The game is grindy, professions, housing and Path system make the game very complex and deep, it takes ages to level also but i like that

Sephiroth_dude

Ahhh good to hear, I asked because there was all this hype for gw2 and then when it was released everyone seemed very disappointed with it lol (I loved it personally) so I was just wondering with the hype this is getting is this gonna turn out the same?

Dcully

Theres always hype for every mmo i find,i tend to fall right into that trap every time.
The latest being final fantasy ,good game but just didnt suck me in, yeah GW2 is poor to be honest, its a poor mans mmo.
The combat in Wildstar reminds me of Tera a bit which is a good thing.

Can't say, the issues people had with GW2 is that it had no end game, most people loved the leveling up though.
Can't comment on Wildstar's endgame because i'm not max rank and can't speak of after level 15.
I've played for a good 20+ hours now and did a dungeon (don't think i can talk about it)
but i did do a world boss when i was level 12 called Metal Maw and found the experience great! the combat worked great with boss mechanics and if they turn that up a notch for end game stuff it'll be amazing and have the same complexity as wow's bosses.
Carbine are selling this game with tags of endgame material and judging by quality of the game so far i think people will like it.
Only did 1 battleground, felt like a WoW battleground, can't really comment on it as i'm not big into pvp in games like this, Planetside 2 quenches that thirst

The Wildstar forums are quite positive, a lot of people love this game.

Big Knox

Can people talk about what classes they played and how they found them? I'm very interested in hearing first hand thoughts on the medic and engineer!

Calhoun

It's melee healer which is odd will have a go of it as I normally play healing class let ya know. As nda might send you a pm.
