This downtime....
 

... is making me want to log into Wildstar beta to see the changes. Who's with me?!

crickets...

Nothing could make WildStar any good.

It's WoW in space last time I played, could barely get past level 10 and I tried a few classes.

This kind of makes me sad, I had a couple friends playing Wildstar beta and was getting my hopes up for maybe a new MMORPG to play. Guess not though?

It's ultra theme park or whatever the term is. You got from one quest location to the next. And the combat is atrocious. You just spam your skills while running in circles to avoid enemy skills. And spamming certain skills builds up gauges for other skills.

The paths weren't all that relevant either in my time. You could do them or not, was just something else to level.

When I saw the original trailers and saw the humor/creativity I got excited, then I logged in and was quite sad. Been in Beta since last April.

What about the building bases/attacking other player's bases bit? That looked it might give it a little redemption. Otherwise it looked pretty WoW-y to me in the trailers.

Never bothered with that bit. With the way the combat system is, I'd rather just play an FPS if I needed PvP that badly.

Did you play Tera? Kind of like that?

its a lot more like TERA than it used to be, although with telegraphs instead of aiming with a reticule.

The leveling is pretty bad, but the stuff at higher end is pretty fun/challenging, and leveling gets a lot better in the 30's.
