    **** direct aim targeting **** How nice **** yeah!
    First. I do not like MMO(RPGs) normally. I normally do not like to level my character, normally i do not like special abilities, normally i do not like to grind. But WILDSTAR just know how to do the things right. How to make it in a way its ****ing enjoyable.
    Positive: – Aurin and Chua lore – Female Aurin's animations and Chua    **** direct aim targeting **** How nice **** yeah!

    Positive:

    – Aurin and Chua lore
    – Female Aurin's animations and Chua animations
    – Mordesh artdesign is badass
    – combat system is outstanding. there is no better combat system in any other MMO, MMORPG or RPG out there.
    especially the spellslinger plays like a SHOOTER, you have to aim. You can miss, enemies can miss, you can dodge, enemies can dodge… run and shoot, jump and shoot, slow, interupt, root, position shift, forward jump stun, void slip AND shoot!. You have less abilities than in other MMOs that **** you full with abilities. But wildstar does not need 100 abilities each class. You have your rotations, you have the freedom to try everything and its so fun to do so.
    – instances. Especially the dungeons and even more especially the expeditions are super great and fun.
    – free-to-play-model is very fair. Every other game is not that fair. I was very surprised
    – housing and holo wardrobe is nice and i think housing is the best housing of all mmos

    neutral:
    – maybe they have overdone it with class set runes and some AMPs. sometimes less is more

    negative:
    – developer has not much budget, so its lacking content after some months (if you don't count raids, that will take longer to clear, much longer - difficulty is another POSITIVE example, its always fair but hard to master)

    other:
    – developer has to wake up FINALLY and advertise the game more. do it now!

    If you want some gameplay impression from solo instances (expeditions) you can search for 'tulinfram solo gold run wildstar'. Forget tulinfram if you don't want to watch my own videos but videos from others.    … Expand

    This is probably the best MMO I've played in... ever. The devs set out to create a game that did not adhere to the tired MMO fantasy worlds and boring stories - and they delivered.

    The only problem with this game is the low population. But, of course, there's an easy solution to that - play this game!

    Easily the best MMORPG on the market. I would definitely recommend Wildstar to beginners in the genre, and it has severe challenges in the endgame too.

But it does a good job of varying the quests as you get into the game. and is overall a lot of fun. It does have some problems, of various categories. But overall the game is solid and polished.
    Some of the weaknesses, in my opinion, become more of an issue later in the game. But since the game is now F2P this is a good opportunity to get into it if you haven't before.

    + Graphics. Manages to create its own style, which is a jolly, wild west in space vs sci-fi theocracy meets high tech artificial intelligence.
    + Sound. Appropriately western vs sci fi theocracy meets high tech artificial intelligence, uh, -y.
    + Crafting. Interesting take on tradeskills, with a lot of scope for experimentation.

    +- Combat. More skill-based than most other MMORPGs, although it is also twitchy and a bit annoying. The game uses a system of telegraphs, which looks great, but which I am unsure of whether is the game's greatest strength or weakness. It might be both. Anyway, the telegraph system is fun in small scale action but quickly gets overwhelming. In a raid you will at worst feel like a failure; at best like you're taking part in some weird, digital formation dancing. When you combine this with the dash mechanic (double tap in either direction to dive out of the way of AOE) and occasionally interactive things like holding a key to break stuns etc, it can be a daunting task to get anywhere in WS. Some of us sucked at dancing at school, and apparently still suck at it.
    +- Questing. Lots of creativity has gone into the questing in Wildstar. Although again, you wonder sometimes if the quest system is a weakness in the end. It floods you with activities so that you often end up barging through a zone barely able to pay attention to the quests, wildly hitting your coms to get new ones in the middle of doing challenges, holdouts and who knows what else. At the end of such an excursion you will often have challenges failed or in need of improvement, simply because you got them while trying to do three other quests. There is such a hectic pace that it will be a rare player who actually gets to read any of the quest text.

    - General clutter. The game floods you with, well, everything. You have six billion vendors, quest givers, mounts, crafting stations and on and on endlessly. It is impossible to walk two steps without something happening. Combine that with interface clutter because of all the things you can do and starting a WS account becomes an exhausting experience. It's basically inevitable in a way; what took ten + years to develop in WoW was all supposed to just be in Wildstar from the start. And the end result is just...clutter.
    In fact, some of the things I dislike the most about WS it has inherited from WoW directly. Most annoying of these things is the Looking for Group function. Although handy if you just want to get a quest done, it predictably has a rather dramatic impact on the community. I played the game for three months on launch and have played it again for a week now. And in all that time I don't think anyone has talked to me even once. You just don't have to because of the LFG. Click button, wait, do dungeon, leave dungeon. All the socialization has been taken out of not only Wildstar, but MMORPGs in general, because of this. It is basically a single player game for a very, very long time. You occasionally play that single player game next to other people, but it's still a single player experience.
    All the work of getting a group together to do something gets done by the game, which is great. But as it turns out that was what made these games social.
    And this function is responsible for one more problem. Because the LFG teleports you to the instance the moment your team is assembled, and right back to the same place afterwards, I honestly don't even know where any of the instances are in WS. It is all just automated. And as a result the world itself feels pointless. There is no traveling anyway, which is a good thing because of the very annoying taxi driver. You just pick a spot on the map and there you are! But as a result not even the old MMORPG ritual of going to the dungeon and entering a portal is necessary.

    All my reasons for downgrading Wildstar come from this stuff. It is a good game, and I realize that it's a good game. But it robs me of the social aspect of an MMORPG by organizing everything for me. And in the end it is hard to love a game when it does that. I know how much fun self-organizing MMORPG activities can be. All the personalities you meet along the way, all the joy and all the tantrums. And I do not understand why every game in the genre has to include bad ideas, simply because WoW thought of them first. The LFG is the mother of bad ideas. At least so far as MMORPGs go.    … Expand

    Wildstar is a excelent MMORPG. Your end game is very extens and wildstar have a raid sistem very hard and very work. New sistem for raids, good world, good ilustration graphics. Wildstars is difficult said why dont have gamers... Will be for the communication campaign: I am sure of it!

    This is all my opinion on this game. Let me also point out that I don't ever write reviews. I think the last review I wrote was for Halo Combat Evolved to give you an idea of how rare this is. I also only even consider writing reviews for truly exceptional games, especially ones that I don't believe get the credit they deserve.

I also only even consider writing reviews for truly exceptional games, especially ones that I don't believe get the credit they deserve.

    I'll also point out that I have a lot of experience in MMOS, or I should say experience trying out MMOs. The only MMO I've actually enjoyed for more than the first few hours (until I played Wildstar) was WoW. I easily have over 300 hours of gamplay in WoW, though my interest is finally almost depleted. Having enjoyed WoW so much I've tried multitudes of other MMOs. I've tried Tera, Rift, Aion, Guild wars 1 and 2, Vindictus, LotR Online Neverwinter, SWTOR, Skyforge, FFXIV, Eve Online, Blade And Soul, Star Trek Online, and I'm sure several others that I can't think of. And most of these I quit before playing more than 10-15 hours so I'm not even qualified to review most of them. I'm sure most of them are really good games but they just didn't hold my interest, even though I always wanted to and expected to love each one of them prior to playing. Maybe the end game content is great and I just never got there, but if the game can't hold my interest past level 10 than I'm obviously not going to play it.

    So what's my point with all of this? My point is that out of all of these MMOs, Wildstar is the only other game besides WoW that I've continued to play for many many hours and I think anyone who has enjoyed an MMO should give it a try. It has amazingly fun combat, the character creation and character models are awesome, it has fantastic end game and raid content. I could go on and on but other reviews have already gotten into the specifics of the game so check those out if you want more specifics on the actual gameplay.

    I am super picky when it comes to MMOs, I'll try any (and have tried a lot) but if I don't love it I won't play it, and I love Wildstar and I think it deserve more attention. Please give the game a try and see for yourself!!    … Expand

Dungeons and group content are actually challenging (unlike so many others) and the tactics and build choice options seem solid and well balanced.

    The best and most polished MMO there on the market. It really takes it to the next level, combining all the utility and fun of them all. While it takes time to get used to some of the new interface design, after that it offers tons of emotions and playability.
    The only drawback i've really found was the price of the game.

    Out of all released MMo's I've tried,Wildstar is the best,and the combat system in this one is most exciting.
    They provide the player with incredible freedom to build their character,you can swap skills on the go if you bought them(out of combat) Any class can be build to fullfil any role.Or you can go hybrid,Whatever tickles your fancy...

    Best MMO out at the moment. Captures the fun cartoony energy of WoW with the twitch-style play that those who love action will enjoy. The telegraphing system (similar to Secret World) is a fun concept that works really well. Character creation was a blast as well, offering plenty of ways to physically and statistically make a unique character.

    To respond to negative reviews those who have technical issues about not being able to log on and play what they paid for I can understand. Everyone else who says that this generic, and doesn't have anything new; they are flat out wrong. Two new things are the Path system, and dynamic telegraph combat system. The four Paths which gives you extra content based on your choice of building & giving buffs, exploring every nook and crany, learning secret lore, or straight up killing. The dynamic telegraph combat system causes you to put your enemy inside your telegraph while staying out of theirs. Of course it starts out easy, but then ramps up to high damage variable telegraphs to keep you on your toes. PvP can be tricky with so many telegraphs flying around. And for those that like it the dungeons and raids bosses have harder telegraphs and stun resistance so the whole party has to stun at once. For those things that have been done before, Carbine has polished them up and added style. Housing, mounts (hoverboards), quests, every race has a style of talking, and mining (I have mined a mineral node that turned into a mineral worm and tried to eat me, I then killed it, went inside its belly and mined some more) are all well executed. Wildstar actually has something for everybody.
    The only downsides would be I have been dropped 4 times in 2 months (not that bad for a just released MMO), and the quest que on the screen can get a bit unwieldy since there are so many quests and the numbering system changes based on how close you are (of course you can always drop a quest from the que when you want to).    … Expand

Graphics remind me of TF2, it's got that kinda humor going on even visually. So much customization, costumes, housing, the works; and you get them early enough too. I'm not a PvP but I'm kinda enjoying that aspect too.

    Carbine never was set to reinvent the wheel. But they put a nice set of custom rims on their vehicle. And then they strapped the whole thing on a space shuttle and send it into space.

    For those burnt out on WOW's content, WildStar is easy to endorse. Immediately familiar to anyone who's visited Azeroth and with enough new twists on the tried-and-tested theme park formula, Carbine's game is so overflowing with stuff to do that it's certainly justified in asking for a subscription - even if less people seem prepared to sign up to one.

    Wildstar banks on hardcore raid and instance difficulty as well as its excellently implemented "dancing" real time combat mechanic to offer something significantly new and fresh to the MMORPG scene. Low server population and annoying hints of a "Pay To Win More" model hold it back in certain areas, but it has all the potential of becoming a well established and much loved setting for years to come.
