Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

I'll buy it just cause it will have a dungeon finder at launch. That shit needs to be a requirement for now on.

weird. is there 2 threads for this or something?
Could have sworn I commented on the before.


Man, someone linked me this video a while back.
holy balls the animator on this was having the time of his life.

Two factions kinda bleh but good videos

Really went with the arcade feel, which is neat....but I'm pretty much done with any game that goes with two factions.

Here's a pretty good one, and recent:

As long as it is not like warp to dungeon crap that makes lobby games... For a good LFG tool see DDO

Design a multiplayer game and include a way to make it easier for people to play together? Bwaaah!?

Sadly it just looks like another wow questgrind clone with housing.

I don't know. Art design aside, it does seem like they're trying to differentiate themselves from WoW by adding a lot of depth. Besides the housing, there are the various paths (which they really haven't given a ton of detail on so far), the warplot system, and the "telegraphs". Personally, I'm just glad that, based on the video ThunderCougarFalconBird posted, that it looks like you'll be limited to 9 abilities at a time. That alone is a really nice step away from the WoW style of gameplay.

I'm not sure this is the right response to the post you adressed!

Id like to see some actual gameplay vids.

There are some videos out there with basic gameplay. Much like any other MMORPG is boring to watch a developer's gameplay videos.

I'm already bored of the game and haven't even played it.

This would be much more exciting if it was a true shooter. But sadly it just looks like another tab target, lock on type combat that is getting old and stale. In fact from that video it looks awfully like TSW combat, including the pre-telegraphed, get out of the way, mob abilities. And TSW combat was pretty lackluster.

It uses a combination of free form targeting and normal targeting. The combat and pvp team was onredditlast week.

I've said this a few times already, but when I played the game in 2011, it felt good and the animations were sharp. I don't remember there being free form targeting, but I didn't play for very long.

Combat sounds exactly like GW2 but with the trinity.
