• Access to beta weekends
• 3-day head start
• Exclusive housing trophy
• In-game storage bag
• Pre-order title

End of story. And i am so incredibly exited for this how do you guys feel?

Loving the Esper class thus far.. Definitely keeping an eye on this game as it progresses closer to launch.

 

Just in-case anyone is curious its scheduled to launch June 3rd, 2014.

Too expensive and then a weird subscription model. I'm unsure if it will be more expensive or if I will be able to play for free with that model...

The play model is not to weird, two option. Pay X amount of real money per month or pay X amount of in game currency. It is the eve online model. As long as they leave it at that, it should be ok. Just buy the box/expansion and pay for your playtime that month to have access to everything¹. Like they unlock in game the ability to customize the look of just about everything about your character early, and it is not sitting behind a real money paywall like say guildwars2. I know not everyone can, but I perfer the just paying for a pass and having everything opened to me to try and get. Not running into paywall this and paywall that.

1. You still need to play/have skill to unlock stuff, so no pay to play crap.

With the new combat in this and just how hard I found it as a bad gamer on lv 9 fighting lv 10 and lv 11 regular guys I have to say this game is a change for sure from WOW for me. Also when comparing the combat to ESO I found I was way more likely to die in WildStar compared to ESO. In regards to presentation do not use pics, videos or live streams as a way to judge the graphics of this game. Go into it yourself and turn things up to max and you will see there are definitely differences. I at first thought this was a WOW clone graphically when I saw pics, videos and live stream of the game but it does not give you the right perspective. All I can say is you have to see the game for yourself. Now with WildStar promising a great raiding experience including 40 man raids and attunement and more they might deliver here on a really nice mmorpg experience. Now the negatives I found were that I quested alone quite a bit like many other mmorpgs and I wish this wasn't possible in these games. I also found that unlike ESO and WOW there was not a gripping story being told here. Hopefully in higher level questing, dungeons and raids things get spelled out more and I was told lore really starts at lv 45 I believe for this but don't hold me to that.

Anyway I am hoping to pre-order this but not sure at this time in my life I can afford the subscription. If this was the past and money was no issue somewhat then I would say 100% I'd be playing this.

Just another copypasta themepark.

bought and subbed. my guild has been waiting for this for a year and a half or more. 

 

I really hope its not going for mass market saturation I'm really hoping this game would reach 300-500k subs and keep a smaller community

To me a mmo has to encourage a server community. It is the number one thing that wow lost imo. Cross realm stuff kills server communities. Not needing to go out into the world once at end game kills server communities. The wildstar devs seem to be trying to work on that, I just hope they do not blink when people complain for x reason.
