WildStar

Chuey

Noticed there was no mention of yet another MMO on the horizon, WildStar.

Not sure if I can embed a Youtube Vid so here's two trailer links:

If that wets your appetite here's the official site:

Should have known that,thanks.

Looks interesting so might as well sign up for a chance in the next beta.

Also, TotalBiscuit put a pretty lengthy preview out yesterday on this which is worth a watch.

Just watching the preview, One thing I seen that I think is really interesting... The way loot appears!

Really looking forward to this game.

It seems that there will be a stress test this weekend with an additional 15000 invites being sent out over the coming days so anyone who has already registered for the beta keep an eye on your email inbox.

Edit: Seems all the invites were sent out...

Completionist

5000 more stress test keys being sent out over the next few hours.

There is still hope for us!

Big Knox

No joy here anyway. Mad to get my hands on a key and see if its as good as I hope it is!!

Completionist

30000 more stress test keys going out!

These keys will only allow access to specific stress test dates rather than the current beta program but should be updated to full beta keys once CBT5 starts.

fun facts:
Estimated 570,000 beta applications
1 person made 4000 beta applications

It might seem crazy but beta accounts are selling for €300+ so he probably made some good money from it and got access himself which would be well worth the time invested. Yep he's an arsehole!!

This is bad news indeed.

Have been so bored lately I went back to WoW after 6 years away. I have to admit I'm enjoying it a lot right now as it's basically like a new game as everything has changed dramatically but it's just to tide me over until Wildstar so was hoping for a 2013 release!

Good news is that its not a F2P or B2P! Im so glad they went with the sub model. I will gladly drop 14 Euro a month on a game that i enjoy that gives me access to 100% of the content right off the bat. Im so hype for this game i can't put it into words.

Have any of you seen how they are handling CC? Check it out

After the last few months being void of any big reveals it seems the flood gates are being opened(soon)!

Here is the link to all the goodness

Completionist

Sorry for double posting but can not edit the above!

Carbine is sending out surveys to anyone who has applied to the beta, Some have already been sent and they will be sending out more over the coming few days/weeks. Filling out the survey will greatly increase your chances of getting into the Wildstar beta in December so don't forget to do it

Been researching this game for the last hour. Very interesting to say the least.

Anybody know what they mean when they say ''you can claim land''? Is this claiming land for your faction? Or is this your own personal land that you can build on?

There will be two methods of "claiming land".

One will be personal housing:

The second method will be warplots.

http://wildstar.gamepedia.com/Warplots

Neither of these methods will claim an area of the world but rather they will be instanced and reached by some form of teleportation however there has been some dev discussion relating to personal housing neighbourhoods which would allow you to see other peoples houses from your personal plot.

I would recommend watching all the dev speaks such as the one I just linked, They are really informative and also entertaining:D

Nice! I'm watching the youtube videos now. This game has a ton of new concepts that are starting to get me hyped for this. Only thing is nobody i know has even heard about this game yet! Hope they do some serious marketing before spring.

On a side note, dominion is going to have about 90% of all players me thinks. The dominion are portrayed as being way too uber!

Lone Stone

Tiz looking appealing

KilOit

Man this looks good, looks like the game i've been waiting to sink my teeth into since i gave up WoW 3 years ago

Completionist

New Devspeak out today!

This marks the start of the boatload of information releases that are planned leading up to the winter beta with the final 2 class reveals at week 5 and 6:D

Lone Stone

I love the whole look of the game, so i signed up for beta. I love the personal home set up looks exactly like what i have always wanted.

Wildstar official livestream starts at 8pm for those that are interested.

Completionist

Good news!

First round of beta invites have gone out to previous testers and some lucky individuals that have completed the survey. The emails have apparently been sent from a new address so check your spam folders just to be sure:)

Week 2:

There is also reports of the beta going live much sooner than expected(Such as tomorrow!) however if you are like me and have not gotten a beta invite yet then this may not be so good.

Edit: Seems it has started... Hope whoever got in is having fun! I'll just sit here and hope they send out a few hundred thousand beta invites to ensure I get a place:(

superMarco

Btw, some people who got their beta key can also invite 2 friends to play to the beta..

And I don't know who actually received some, I was wondering if someone could maybe give me one key to play this beta ?

That could be definitely awesome !!

Thanks you very much ^^

The thing about those keys though is that they are linked and so not really something someone should be giving out to random people.

Thing is, people aren’t necessarily giving them to friends. This was also sort of predictable, and ultimately that’s fine. However, one thing which we wanted to make sure we clearly communicate to everyone about the friend keys is that they are intrinsically linked. We want you to give them to your friends, and we want you to play together. One thing to realize, in part to encourage this behavior: any disciplinary action taken to any of the linked accounts will be shared between the accounts. I.e. if your friend does something bannable, you will likely be banned too. Will you be willing to risk your participation in the beta on your friends? Yep, probably. Someone you don’t know? Less so.

Well, like I'm waiting for this game for almost 2 years.. not like I will do something stupid to not be able to play ^^'.. After I understand that, but its worth a try

Livestream starts in 1 Hour 7 Minutes.

http://www.twitch.tv/wildstar

Us unlucky people can pretend we are playing Wildstar for an hour at least:)

Eoin247

That live-stream makes healing look pretty difficult. I'm fairly on the fence and skeptical about this non-targeting combat system. I won't make any judgments though until i get a good bit of time to play around with it next year.

Completionist

Seems more invites have been sent out!

Also livestream showing off the spellslinger class today at 8pm (6 hours 51 minutes from now).

This game's really peaked my interest - might be a time spender and a move on from WoW !

New class reveal!

Also new beta invites were sent out:D

Edit: More info on new class reveals : http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=33463

Medic class looks pretty cool. Hope it's accurate, and not just a standard healer class.

Eoin247

I'm juggling between the stalker and engineer. Possibly the medic after i see some more gameplay.

Really hope the reason the crafting system hasn't been revealed yet is because they're making it awesome!

Lone Stone

I like the stalker so far, medic possibly engineer would need to see more about that class. But the medic definitely looks fun to play, i like how you lay down healing area's and how your heals can damage enemy's could be fun.

A friend got into the stress test this weekend so check your mails. Getting his account tomorrow to try it out for an hour or two.

The style is more like wow than swtor i would have thought.

Kiith

I definitely get more of a Warcraft vibe than The Old Republic.

Looks like WoW 2.0 tbh.

Eoin247

Anybody know where i can see examples of the mod addons they say people have made for beta?
