the lack of actual customization on characters blew me away almost as much as how giant they are on screen in character creation[/QUOTE]
It has about the same level of customization as GW2 to me. I can still make characters that I am content with that most other people don't look like. Bright red Granok with a Mohawk for life.
I personally find this game a lot more fun than WoW.
Tried it and got a refund, it was probably the most boring questing/leveling experience I've had in an MMO.
its like secret world
once you get used to the combat it's amazin
Honestly.. Would they put a 31-day money back guarantee on that claim?
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;44769506]Well the only other MMO this year [b]was[/b] TES:O so it's not much of a competition.[/QUOTE]
Not sure what does that have to do with anything. They said "We have the best damn MMO that you’re going to play [b]this year.[/b]"
It's just middle of may, Warlords of draenor is getting released this fall.
Star Wars Galaxies was best MMO.
I look forward to this game getting 1.5m subscribers in the first couple of months, quickly having no retention value for those subscribers and simmering down to <1m as it fades away into that long list of second rate MMOs.
"No retention value"
Good one
wild star is a faggoty gay homosexual russian black disabled themepark mmo that to be frank people shouldnt be wasting their human brains on and should be letting the people with less than 50 IQ play instead

Ok. Your opinion is valuable.
Now before I discard it and everything else you have to say: tell me [B]why[/B].
played for a while and it's still really falling flat for me, particularly because the readability is awful. the text bubbles are lacking contrast between background/textcolor (which strains the eyes when reading large bodies), and the minimal aliased lettering makes it just that more of a chore on your eyes. generic bubbles feel slightly better than quest text boxes, though those are still treated as text bubbles and end up jamming into the top of the screen, far away from your dialogue options. I'm finding little reason to read anything in place of just forwarding dialogue with the white options til I can go do whatever it is I just ignored instructions for
also I know it's only beta and it's fixable but this shit was happening constantly

[QUOTE=Saphirx;44772886]Is there any MMO that doesn't require grinding?[/QUOTE]
Depends heavily on what constitutes grind. I know people who refuse to play basically any MMO game because one quest once made them kill 3 monsters.

More on topic though, Wildstar in particular front-loads its grind fairly intensely. I have a level 12 and level 13 of either faction and I can count the number of quests I've done (including paths) that had more substance than killing something or collecting something on one hand.
This may have been acceptable years ago, and hell maybe its another pandering throwback by Carbine to the weeks of "fun" that was WoW vanilla leveling, but compared to the competition, even fairly weak competition like SWTOR and ESO, Wildstar's questing comes off as particularly grindy.
It's actually the reason I'm not going to buy the game at launch and instead wait for people to tell me about what happens when you get over the leveling hill. I have absolutely no desire right now to kill 10 robots and pick up 6 computer parts over and over and over and over again, but maybe if the raid content and PVP and adventures and all the stuff that is actually marketable turns out to be great I could see myself just pushing through.
The game is not bad, but it realy isn't anything special as they made it look like. I can't tell if they are lying to the public to promote the game, or if they are completly oblivious of this.

Well, I played the DC mmo (DC universe online? I can't remember) and I pretty much just played most of the missions, equipping whatever I found in drops, and buying the rest from npcs, and easily got to max level and got to the end of the questlines without the need of grinding.
Star Trek Online honestly isn't grindy, you'll level up well as you do your missions and they're a lot more interesting than most MMOs simply because they're story focused. So you may not get a ton of combat like you're used to (though the space fights are typically really fun). But its still really fun. Frankly it feels like things are more in your control and like you get to build yourself as you want than most other MMOs.
But yeah, little grinding, you'll stay pretty close to in line with the level of your missions are you do them.

Yeah and there should be change, so that if you're good you become good versus just being a massive nerd.
Guild wars best mmo
But is it good enough to make me want to abandon all the shit I've accumulated in WoW?
Ok I played this game, It's a standard mmo with slightly different combat, boring questing and in general feels like a chore to play.
Play as in run at 15 fps on a quad core on minimum settings ?
John Romero's about to make you his b*tch.

I did not have this problem, fortunately. My issue was that an hour into the game, I wanted to put it down. The game feels more like a chore than it does a game. I mean, some people joke about WoW being a spreadsheet simulator... WildStar is just worse.
When I first heard about this game, it seemed interesting because it was claiming to do so much more different than typical MMOs. Then the more info they released, the more it sounded like another generic MMO. So far it seems that turned out to be the case.
So far, that seems to be the case for marketing MMOs these days. "Look how different we are than those other MMOs!" Then it's the same bullshit at the core.

It's a shame because their marketing stuff is fucking brilliant.

It really is! I had a lot of hype for this game. Hoverboards. Player housing. Combat that was supposed to be a little more interactive than WoW. And it was just another disappointment.
I'll play it when it goes free. But as someone who owns ESO, I'm quite an expert on things that cost $60 with a subscription on top that aren't worth it.
