Ooooh my body is ready I've been spreading this game around to all my mmo playing buddies. One of my friends just quit wow after 8 steady years of nonstop sub and instantly fell in love with Wildstar when I showed him that (I might be an enabler but damn this game looks fun so, worth it!)
And yes pretty please would really like a key Spug message sent
I know Torch already linked it, but I just want to link it again because I'm crazy. I'm really excited to try this game out!!! I think paths are an awesome idea.
I love explorer! I spent a lot of time in GW2 just running around clearing a whole map. Even when I made new characters I would still do that
Oh that looks absolutley magnificent
It's getting hard playing WoW at the moment, I just keep wanting more of Wildstars features in it. From the Mentoring to the random changes in dungeons to make things different as often as possible. I need it, I crave it
wow, great info on those reddit posts! so many things I didn't know. Warplots sound incredible.
My favorite bit though is about end game armor not looking all the alike. This was one of my favorite parts about Everquest, and then WoW came out... ever since, every class looks the same because they all get the same tier 'sets'. It's so bland and makes getting new armor/loot unexciting because you all just turn into the same thing. Specific bad ass pieces of armor that can mix and match > one set to rule them all. Sets are still neat and should still be a thing, but certainly not like how they've been handled in other MMOs.
I've just sent an MP to Spug, but I also want you to know:
I'm modelling a Wildstar Great Sword as a Fanart, just to arise the hopes of Carbine Studios with some hyped fans, the Sword is just finished, I may change some little things like the lenght, because I posted three render images on reddit and some people told me that it may be longer.
ALL I need is a beta invite, key or whatever I need to get into the game to make some Screenshots on the original Sword, from various perspectives, in a High resolution and maybe zoomed in-game (if we can zoom or something) to after that, get in Photoshop and make the best texture for my fanart Sword model.
Let's see how this ends, for the moment I'm just waiting for my beta invite
Sorry guys! I have been really busy at work crunching and doing a lot! I would love to be able to send messages faster, but polycount only lets you do it like 1 a minute, so I will work through all of them asap.
Btw, there is a restriction right now for beta keys for industry devs, so I will have to wait to see if those people can get a key. In the meantime though, I will be planning on sending out keys to everyone as soon as we open the flood gates, and make sure everyone who wants one get in
Sweet stuff Spug I've been checking out loads of videos and hyping up my friends some more, the 40 man raid stuff seems just insane, how are you handling the technical hurdle that brings? Even WoW, years later on the lowest settings struggles with 25 man encounters.
Also how are you handling equipment models and intersection? is it all one piece of gear or individual slots?

Well I hope you're gonna read my PM
It's hopeful that you guys are working really hard, that can't be bad!

See ya later :>
lol, did you join just to beg for a key? Come on man. Come on. You owe us a model. That's the entry price.
BTW. Has there been any talk about the pricing structure? Im not aganist paying. It's more that these days I don't play to much at ye olde PC. I normally leave my pc alone on the weekdays but I guess i haven't had an addictive MMO in my life lately.

Yep that's what I did, anyways I didn't know this community, but it seems to be really nice and rich, I mean, look at Sprug, he is really dedicated for us, taking care of putting everyone in the WildStar beta
Really can't wait for this, i've tried so many MMO's but i've never managed to find one interesting enough to stick with for more than a weekend. This looks like everything i've wanted in an MMO. The art is gorgeous.
Am quite the opposite - Most MMO's I played I could never play tank/DPS, just gets too repetitive smacking people on the head Ranged/Heals all the way!
EDIT: I'd be interested to know people's thoughts on an LFD tool for the game, whether that will be implemented. Personally I would vote for no, only because I enjoyed the social element of gathering a group in WoW (before the dawn of LFD) and venturing to the dungeon... rather than the monotonous task of sitting in town scratching your behind while waiting for a queue to pop.
Heals all the way! It's like playing reversed wack-a-mole with peoples healthbars. Much more fun than rotating spells or just pressing the glowing button. =P
I didn't see these in the thread and I guess it was posted almost a year ago on youtube...anyways, it is pretty neat for those that hadn't seen it yet.
Most of the people in those videos look like they haven't slept in days. Great games may not be made by great companies to work for. I have no inside knowledge, so as far as I know it could be amazing there.
Get some rest, guys! Don't crunch too much.
I can't wait for tomorrow's installment of Wildstar Wednesday

Many Dev's hate Expo's because they need to crunch before bringing everything to train-braking halt. On a production level, they're pretty disruptive.
Those videos were most likely recorded before such events, hence why they most likely look tired.

And yes pretty please would really like a key Spug
Spug my eyes eclipsed my head seeing that post. I would love a beta key and I sent a PM to you as requested.
This game cannot come soon enough.
Same here!
I've waited a long time for a good sci-fi MMO. This could be it.

I heard the Stress Test didn't go so well. Glad you guys got a lot of those bugs fixed, though.
Also how are you handling equipment models and intersection? is it all one piece of gear or individual slots?

Am in no rush for an invite as long as more videos keep coming lol

Want. Want so hard.
Nice find mate, now I'm worried if I should stick to my MMO'ness of Swords all the time or break out and do something different for a change :P
This is the first MMO where I've really liked the look of the ranged stuff too, I think due to the use of movement in combat.
