Keywork Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Developed by Carbine Studios Published by NCsoft At this years Gamescom we finally got to see what Carbine Studios has been up to the last few years. Wildstar Online is a new MMORPG from alot of members from the original World of Warcraft team aswell as Tim Cain of Fallout fame. It is a hotkey based MMO such as WoW and SWTOR but where it differs is in its art style and the player path system. When you create your character you are given a choice of being either an Explorer, Soldier, Settler or a Scientist. Depending on what you choose can change the quests you get completely. its still early on and details are scarce but they came full force and even had it available to play on the showfloor. I signed PXoD up for Beta but if you wanna do it yourself to up your chances click here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I played this at PAX, and holy shit it is fun. I don't know how good it will end up being overall, since we just don't know enough yet, but the gameplay feels snappy, fun and great, and the art is beautiful. I'm optimistic for this one.

Thanks for telling me your impressions, makes me hope even more that we get put into the beta. Really excited for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think as someone told me about Wildstar... it's almost like a Ratchet & Clank MMO. I think I'd have to agree with him on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 The concept sounds really interesting. I'd like an MMO that wasn't just about combat yet still quite accessible. I've not read much about it but the explorer or settler stuff intrigues me. Looks purdy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to go on with those 2 yet, the gameplay they showed was level 2 to level 3 in the game so its EXTREMELY early on, Lets hope we get some Beta Keys!

Mister Jack Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 So is that a F2P MMO that you download, one that you buy once and then don't pay a subscription, or are they doing the whole shebang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keywork Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 No clue as of yet, Personally i would like it to be subscription based. Microtransaction F2P models are not for me and unless you build a game like guild wars its kinda hard not to have income after the initial sale. Its a matter of how you like your content delivered to you but meh, anyway we should be geting more info sooner rather than later. They got the MMO community interested and they gotta keep dangling that bait and let the hype grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I can't wait for this one, signing up for the beta as we speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I'm not very fond of the art style. And while I am by no means generally persuaded by something anyone with a sane mind would deem trivial and inconsequential, there are two things: chiefly, I am not sane. It also reminds me of a Dreamworks/Pixar production, and I absolutely, positively, categorically detest Dreamworks/Pixar productions. SO NO, KEYWORK! YOU GET NOTHING! I just wanted to post something since you were sniveling over no-one talking MMORPGs with you.

You have no clue what its like to be in PXoD/Loltakuites chat for about 2 years and have not a soul play MMO's sans EVE with you. Shit gets to you after awhile man. One of the reasons i broke my noforum mantra and came here to pay a visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbassman39 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Nice article! So excited for this game. Massively.com had a few articles on there as well. Also, I'll talk MMOs with ya, I don't play a lot, but I have tried out almost all of them. I've never really gotten to max level though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit gets to you after awhile man. One of the reasons i broke my noforum mantra and came here to pay a visit Hey, if we both get into beta, I'll play with ya. I've been a longtime player of MMOs (like, literally, almost every single F2P MMO that's been released in 2008 or earlier, I have played, along with trials for some P2Ps as well, since I'm a cheap bastard). Also very nice to see another MMO enthusiast. Case in point being my Raptr account (http://raptr.com/eldanesh117/games, sort by most played), in which the top 5 games played all happen to be MMOs.
