Wildstar and ESO

For me Wildstar is average. The reason why is cause it was created by about 11 ex-blizz people and the game has a much to similar feel of WOW for me. I got very tired of WOW and wildstar is not really doing enough different to catch me besides some combat mechanics. Everyone harps on housing and while it was interesting for about 15 mins, thats all I could stand of it. Like all games there is a good chance for PVP but you never know with how things for Wildstar are changing ATM. WPVP would indeed be great but unless they can overcome win-trading and such it will be a joke and thats not really taking into account just getting people to WPVP which people these days just seem to want to avoid.

Now, as I understand it, they seem to be going back and redesigning some things that players mentioned so there is still hope but it will always look like WOW and that is a hard sale for me to get back into a game that looks like WOW and is designed by ex-wow people. My fear is they would go the route of WOW and I dislike the path WOW eventually went.

TESO from what little I got to stress test it seemed very similar to Oblivion. If you like Oblivion you'll like TESO I would imagine but is it just another fantasy game we have all really played before? I think so. It would be another hard sell to get me paying for TESO if that stays true.

Other than the constant searching for something new to play most gamers have, I can't see leaving any of the other MMOs we are currently attached to just to play them other than to satisfy curiosity but I'm about tired of doing that.

So depending on what gets changed, added and polished by the time they are actually released my opinion might change but for now neither are on my radar of games to get excited about.

ESO is probably going to be terrible.

I am personally very excited for Wildstar. At least I was, their lack of updates over the summer kinda toned down my enthusiasm, but I think it looks like a lot of fun. I'm planning to play it casually while continuing to raid here in SWTOR.

I hate people who cut up part of my segment lines , I mean shows they are just using ad honiem attacks extreme .
So basically , I replied with what they need , saves tons of pages of arguments and chit chat about opnions and air .

especially about grown up issues , that has a temper tantrum .
And I love cartoonishe it will be a fashion statement in the future

The MMO landscape is littered with the corpses of so many grand intentions. It's one thing to say that pre-release but the real test will be to see if they remain engaged when the game transitions to their Live Team (post-release devs). Until then that's worth as much as any other marketing hype.

I'm interested. If it works under Linux natively or via Wine then I'll give it a whirl.

I bet you use Opera, hipster.

Ew. Emacs4evah!

(Firefox+Request Policy, ofc)

Hardly.

Wildstar!!

Whooohoo, I hope it will be released soon

Thanks for all the input! Sorry I couldn't get back to it sooner, I read all replies and rather then create a wall text replying to indvidual responses I will some up my thoughts from what I read.

ESO has a team from DAOCC, a shame I never played that game however they seem to put a great amount of effort into PvP. As a PvP first player it seems encouraging but I don't know how fun PvP will actually be if they use the Oblivion combat style. It just feels clunky to me. If anyone wants to debunk my claim on the combat style being clunky go ahead. I want to be convinced it won't be clunky like oblivion but I just don't see it translating well into PvP.

Wildstar, when I first heard about the game I would have agreed with everyone bashing the cartoony graphics. The cartoony graphics DID NOT appeal to me at all. When I looked up some videos and did some more research I thought the gameplay looked amazing. Arenas, 20 v 20, 40 v 40, WPvP there is so much diversity! Although the game is very cartoony the graphics look amazing, but I understand it being a major letdown to some people (hell, it was to me at first)

Wildstar has peaked my interest at this point but it's still subject to change as both games get closer to launch. Hype comes with all new things (look at SWTOR). I believe both games will have their share of QQs and quitters. People expect perfection in a world where perfection is unattainable, I'm willing to look past imperfections of a game as long as it's challenging, entertaining and multiple classes are viable.

I have done both in tests and beta, ESO i do not like the movment at all. It does not feel like a MMO. Wildstar is bring a lot of stuff we have asked for in swtor and have not received. The only way i see us getting things now from swtor is if we buy it on the CM and thats just sad. Greed kills in time
