 Wildwhat? Wildstar is a new action-oriented MMO that takes place on the newly discovered planet Nexus, developed by Carbine; a studio founded by 17 members of the core vanilla WoW team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4_riSI7Ydg Whatstar? There's opposing factions, really unique races, a path system to point people towards the content they enjoy, player housing, and the whole thing looks like a Pixar movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-NXdWk9sm8 Factions  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn8648VGMKM Exile Gameplay Video Races  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FhB3iYv4Ng Dominion Gameplay Video Races Chua & Mordesh Reveal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t0mgu0_i3c Classes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCaIxmffFWY Paths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmCyPXv5APY Your path is a choice made at character creation which determines what extra content the world dishes up for you. Generally, they respond to the player personalities in the Bartle test (killer, explorer, socializer, etc). But don't just take my word for it, read this Polygon Article on Wildstar's paths. Housing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScEliEh2_Xo What about Raiding? Wildstar will have 40-person raids, which has proven to be somewhat controversial, and people in this thread cannot shut up about it. Sounds good, but what'll it cost me? The Pricing Plan Wildstar will have a typical subscription system, but with the added layer of the C.R.E.D.D. system, which is somewhat similar to EVE's PLEX. Players will essentially be able to earn currency in-game that they can then sell for gold to other players, allowing them to pay for time. Alright, I'm convinced. When can I play? Carbine is taking an "it's ready when it's ready" approach, but right now are shooting for a Spring 2014 release. Currently it's in closed beta, and the NDA has been lifted for some specific streamers to show levels 1-15. You can check them out on twitch. Beta keys are being given out slowly and in waves, though if you know someone in beta you should bug them for a friend key. The best way to get into the beta is to apply here, then fill out this survey. You should also check out the Wildstar Beta key Begging & Exchange Thread.  Join Goon Squad on the exiles side! Goons are on the Nexus server, on both Exile and Dominion. For Exile, message one of the following: Unicoroner, Javairea, ExileHumanStalker, Looseifer, Ozymorf, Phoix, or Wiggans and join SAMCRO. For Dominion, message Tsargbot, Kalten, Cristlefire, or PhiberOptik and join Wildstar HipHop Do your part for the greater goon!

Tsurupettan posted:People were talking about it. We had a thread that fell into archives a while ago. Personally, I lost all interest because NCSoft owns it. NCSoft has never worked on a game this long or extensively before though, so I wouldn't write it off. Also in all the interviews about the game they talk about end game a lot and make it sound like everything in the game was build around end game which is really smart considering how SWTOR and GW2 turned out. And NCSoft is just the producing it, while Carbine Studios is making it, and this is their first game. Tuxedo Mask fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 18, 2013 |

Archonex posted:There's at least one video that was missed. Might want to add this one. It shows the Dominion faction's early gameplay. Which until I watched that I didn't even know you could play as. Thank I added gameplay vids for both of the factions. They didn't have the videos on their main site, and I didn't think to check their Youtube cause I just figured their main site would have it all.

stuff in there either way. And they showed off some of the vehicle and event content. Like aerial gunships, and giant suicide rhinos.
", though.

I really wish they would make a video on character customization. I'm going to be really disappointed if it works like PSO or if Humans are the only ones with two genders.

Tamoka posted:I'm pretty hyped about this game too, looking promising up until now. But so did other games. So I wonder how much credit we can put on Jeremy Gaffney' words. I don't know who specifically, but I do know on Blizzard Entertainment's wikipedia page it says that Carbine Studios was made by people that used to be Blizzard employees, so I'd assume people that worked on wow. On their company site it says "we worked on a lot of them: titles like World of Warcraft, Everquest 1 and 2, Warhammer Online, City of Heroes, Free Realms, Diablo II, StarCraft. We've also had our hands in some other games you might recognize, like Fallout, Metroid Prime, and...well, you get the point." So I'd assume they only hired people from other mmo companies for the most part. Tuxedo Mask fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Feb 19, 2013 |

Hello Sailor posted:They're standard enemies in the esper/explorer gameplay video a few posts up. In (pre-Cataclysm) WoW, they'd be leper gnomes. In the commentary of that video he descried them as "An indigenous race of goblin shaman like people." I don't think it be that out there to think there could be a race of people native of nexus on each faction, or sense you compared them to leper gnomes there could be a faction/bread of them that is smarter/friendly like normal gnomes. They also said that because the Exiles and the Dominion have just gotten to Nexus they wouldn't have any big cities and just some settlements, so if they had two races from Nexus then they could have capitals for those races for the factions to use.

Hello Sailor posted:They don't match the glimpses we've had of the factions' fourth races at all. The Exile fourth race is very clearly a Necron knockoff of some sort, similar to the Arisen in Allods; it may be that they're the animated remains of the race that once inhabited the planet and left behind all those artifacts. Yeah I guess that's true. I hope they become part of the exiles at some point in an expansion or something.

In the new concept art they showed with all off the housing stuff they have all of the exile houses.   But then they also have these, and they fit the description and glimpse we've seen of the 4th exile race, so I think it's pretty safe to assume these are the 4th exile race.   Also Here's a link to the "What is Wildstar" trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_4_riSI7Ydg And a detailed housing video http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/22/pax-east-2013-a-first-look-at-wildstars-high-low-and-housing/ Tuxedo Mask fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Mar 22, 2013 |

Well I'm pretty sure guests cant see this subforum, so there is a little bit of a safety cover for us to whisper sweet wildstars into each other's ears.
