Frankly, I agree with this. Albeit it needs a bit more fine tuning, I think it's an actual contender for best MMO.
I've got it downloaded, gonna give it a shot when I get home from work. I've never found an MMO for me, but I always get the itch to try again every year or so. Maybe this one'll be the one to stick it.
Cool with having to aim your spells, not much more though. Feels kinda generic and quests are boring as usual, I'd rather not waste my time grinding in another game.
not the biggest claim you can make. what's the hot MMO right now, Guild Wars 2?
I don't know. I played it a few weekends ago, and then a weekend after that. It never really 'got' me. The game really reminded me of Guild Wars 2, and hell...it got me to go back and play Guild Wars 2 :v:
I would argue that GW2 is very similar to this game. Personally, I prefer the art style of GW2 over Wildstar.
I'm looking forward to Warlords of Draenor more but I am on the fence about Wildstar. The leveling is bog standard MMO fare but the endgame could be promising. Think I will wait a month to see what general perceptions are.
what is hubris

When I played it a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even know WHY I was doing half of my quests, just that I had to go over here and do this thing, or kill those guys.
it's okay, very generic and the art style gets gimmicky after a while
im not that big into mmo's, but eh I don't rate this highly
had more fun playing FF14
Right when I got to actually move around my character, I was assaulted by the UI and how extraordinarily cluttered it was.
Not really.

Man if Wildstar's UI bugs you, you wouldn't last a minute in most MMOS.

I've played so many MMOs it's not even funny. Wildstar's just pissed me off.

Selling an MMO for $60 and charging monthly for it :v:

The UI I've made in wow is so cluttered I wouldn't dare share it, but it works well for me.
[quote=Carbine]We have the best damn MMO that you’re going to play [B]this year[/B].[/quote]
Well the only other MMO this year was TES:O so it's not much of a competition.
WildStar was a good effort, but from what I've played, it's basically trying so hard to not be WoW that it circles around and copies WoW in all the ways that WoW sucks, and it's bad.
I played for two hours and it was boring fucking fetchquests and fat lore boxes of shit I didn't give two fucks about because the game was so god damn boring and trying so hard to be ~wacky~ and zany.

After Borderlands 2, really excited devs make me afraid that they maybe they not just confident, but have very poor self-criticism.
I was impressed by the game for a few hours with the combat system and the awesome art direction, but then came the realisation that the combat system just felt like I was doing twice the amount of work for the same payoff since the quests are still just your generic cookie cutter MMO missions.

In short, TORtanic 3: Electric Boogaloo.
Everything about wildstar looks mediocre as fuck
but best of luck to them
The game is...slow. There's better MMO's out there that you can play for free, and some that you only have to pay for once.
It would be better if they didn't have a subscription fee.
Sorry but:

SISTER!!
the lack of actual customization on characters blew me away almost as much as how giant they are on screen in character creation

Is there any MMO that doesn't require grinding?
[QUOTE=Saphirx;44772886]Is there any MMO that doesn't require grinding?[/QUOTE]
Well I was going to say WoW now that you can buy your way to level 90, but if I remember correctly 90 isn't the cap anymore so there's still 10 more levels of grinding to do, and the highest levels are always the longest.
