I think this just must be a personal flavor thing. I was extremely turned off by the videos wit the campy humor and annoying voiceover. I guess some people go for that thing. I don't like the cartoony style, and the over the top attempts at humor just annoy me. I might be able to look past that stuff if the game is cool enough, but so far, I'm avoiding it out of grumpy old man principle.

If they put as much effort into the game as they're putting into the advertising it promises to be at least half-ass fun for a while.

So thumbs up.

After looking through their media section it looks like WoW with improvements (which is a good start). Thing is thats the same impression TOR made before beta access was widely available, so it doesnt count for much. The "stalker" class video showing a WoW rogue solo a few mobs and the fact that most combat features worn, oversized swords for a game with a Sci-Fi setting doesnt help either. Hopefully their unqiue features amount to something worth playing.

On the humor and setting side it vaguely reminds me of Borderlands (which is also a good thing).

Well their "Spellslinger" class is all about shooting guns.

I read somewhere (this thread?) that they are launching with a dungeon finder, so two thumbs up there. They are already ahead of the curve, especially if they jump out of the gate with a fully modable UI.

Seems like a studio is starting right out of the gate with all the shit and tools a modern game should have. Finally some one got it.

Every time I see something about Wildstar I'm reminded of Don Bluth and Titan A.E. It has similar setting, tone and story. I mean, Earth is destroyed, humans are considered the scum of the galaxy, the hero of the story on a quest to find a [spaceship that can create a] new planet... Then you have Wildstar, which would take place after Planet Bob is created. Change up the bad guys so it's more MMO-friendly and you have yourself anewgame.

I'm kinda curious to know what the last two classes are going to be. So far we've got these classes, and here's how I interpret them.

Warrior - Doesn't look like anything different. Tank, DPS role with swords and shields.
Stalker - Classic Rogue
Spellslinger - Kind of looks like your Ranged DPS combo of Mage/Hunter kinda deal. Maybe debuffer as well.
Esper - With the limited information, I think it's a priest like class that can spec Shadow like in WOW. Or maybe it's a Mage like class that can spec into healing?

Two more blank spots. I can see some kind of Engineer kind of class that is a hybrid, healer/buffer/tank or healer/buffer/dps. Then there probably is a class that wield huge ass guns that can tank and dps.

There has to be a pet class, and most likely that will fit in with the Engineer class or whatever it is. Just my guess though, we'll see in beta.

Esper actually reminds me of the mesmer in GW2. I expect a shaman/nature type of class and your classic pet type of class like a hunter/ranger.

Engineer and Scientist. The video I watched with a scientist in it was surrounded by like 10 aggro mobs and I was thinking it eluded to a sort of "taming" skill. I'm thinking something like a Creature Handler ala SWG.

Scientist is already a path, having a scientist/scientist doesn't sound right.

I signed up for beta over a year ago...should I resign up with this information or something?

Don't think it'll increase your chances a lot more other than having 2 accounts signed up for beta, which can't really hurt.

What's going on now? If I ever get keys to give away, it'll be for premium junkies anyway.

Wait for Wildstar junkies to launch first though.
