Wait, what? Are you reading infoz I haven't seen, or just basing this statement on this thread? Im probably gonna steer clear of Wildstar based on the combat system alone (personal preference), but it certainly doesn't look all that 'mediocre' to me. Production value looks quite high actually, and there are some decently innovative systems in place from what I've read.

My bad. I mixed up one mediocre in-development MMO from ex-Blizzard people with another one.

Look... We all get it. I think you have a bud on the dev team right? We all know what that means.

So without doing anything "wrong" I will explain it this way. They have some great ideas. Like most concepts, they are great on paper. The reality is, when put into action, the result will most likely be less than exciting. On a positive spin though, they seem to have a lot of fun ideas. The key will be to keep implementing these new ideas until the result is really fun to play.

The negative spin is Itzena's exact quote. I wish them well. We aren't dumb though.

I don't think I've ever said anything different? The game is WOW++. The only thing they are doing different to the WOW model is the telegraph combat and the limited hotbar (which aren't new anyway). Essentially it's a modern Vanilla WOW with all the modern trappings that also include player housing and guild housing pvp.

There's a large chance the game could be bland and generic. There's also a large chance that it will be well made enough to be fun, at least worth the cost of the box.

One of their main features is also 40v40 PvP warplots.

Wait, did they say anything about guild housing? I know that player housing is something. I hope they do make massive guild houses.

The design doc is good, the team appears to be competent, and they have a pretty good vision of what they are building.

That said, the game has that WOW cartoony look which I detest. Every time I see more videos I cringe at them copying the exact look of it.

I agree Itzena's a WOW zealot, but in thise case he's right. I think this will be a well made game, but I'll be amazed if more than a handful of people here are playing it at 3 months post release.

I hope they can do something with the way the game works to actually make me give a damn about my house. Generally I put whatever essential services it can provide right next to each other and as close to my entry point as possible so I can zone in and zone out asap. I put NOTHING ELSE there b/c it slows down loading. In this case they said jamming your house full of shit will give you rested XP, so my current plan is to get 5,000 of the same thing and tuck them in a corner somewhere. We'll see. I would like to care, but generally I don't.

Important: is my house account or character bound? After the first one I'm sure I'll be done with the exercise. I don't see much promise in designing a layout for each character.

Interesting interview with Jeremy Gaffney the executive producer of Wildstar. Nothing really new in it, but it's a big part of why I am so interested in the game...they keep saying the right things. Read ithere.

Hopefully they'll deliver...

Why are people making video all horrible players?

Just watched a 90 minutes leaked video from beta from a guy who obviously had no clue there was an NDA since he left the watermark on.

While you can see a lot of stuff, he's an horrible player...he's also French and sadly for me that's my primary language and so I could understand what he was saying, just trust me on this...you do not want to understand him, he's an idiot.

He doesn't understand English, so he had no clue how things worked, what all the messages meant etc...so he is totally lost. I am not sure he'd be better I'd the game was in French though, he's really an idiot.

After about 30 mins I had to watch it in fast forward because it was so bad, almost made me dislike the game.

So if you see a 1.6gb download for a leaked video of gameplay...don't bother with it, there isn't much new and it's bad.

The last interview I watched that mentioned houses, Jeremy mentioned that they think they are going to have it account wide but they're not so certain of it just yet.
