LOL, anyone that has played GW2 for a significant amount of time already knows what Wildstar will be. Yet another cash scheme by the same company. I am not even going to give Wildstar a shot. It will just be another cash shop cosmetics fest with boring/insignificant updates to drive the cosmetics.

GW2 - ? No nothing like GW2 - might want to take off your blinders and really look at the game, it's not like GW2 at all

I gave Wildstar a good try this weekend - it just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure it will attract a decent fanbase and both this game and ESO will be successful. They are 2 very different styles of game even though they are themeparks, and I think you're either going to like this one or ESO and not care for the other too much. I'm sure there will be exceptions, but that's my guess.
ESO can't take WoW's place they have different ideologies. It's true pretty much every aspect of Wildstar is UBER polished compared to ESO including more content on the surface (except an unoptimized client back in december which may or may not be fixed now), but it's hardly sucking. At least the NDA lifting allowed it to move up in the hype meter higher than Wildstar is now.
If you really like WoW and want a similar experience. Wildstar I think can offer it. That's how I feel after being in beta and trying to force myself to test it. Wildstar will be a fun game...though for old WoW fans.

I haven't played Wildstar beta so I can't compare the two personally, but Wildstar will appeal to WoW fans, namely the old ones, for sure, but I think that may be bad as well. If its too much like WoW then players may not be willing to essentially start over and deal with bugs and lack of content again.
We shall see though. I personally think there are so many players now looking for instant gratification that any game that doesn't cater to them is doomed to flounder in mediocrity.
I was playing Wildstar beta was really looking forward to it and I felt like it was just wow 2.0 did nothing for me. ESO I was not really thinking about much got a beta so I tried it and I loved it. In one weekend i put more time into ESO then I did Wildstar in months. So best of luck to you. I hope EQ Next is the new thing but we will see.

What are the reasons Wildstar are for "WoW fans". When i watch videos about this game it rather reminds me on a mix between GW2 + Swtor. But since I did not play the game I cant judge it. Would be cool to hear some points, thx.

There's regular classes and regular quests in linear maps, unlike GW2. And they do not try to make a big deal out of the story at all, unlike SWTOR, but rather use the same old approach: quest text nobody reads, which can be immediately skipped through, and the occasional 10-second long birds eye cutscene. There's no writing or acting that you'll regret skipping through anywhere.
It's really just a rehash of WoW in any way you can imagine, from the "follow the map marker" quests to the cartoony art style and disregard for modern graphics technology (hey, I guess they saved money to spend on something else... I just don't see what).
As an old Wow fan, I don't see Wildstar appealing to all old Wow fans. I think it will appeal to Gnome fans. Those who played Wow and really like Gnomeregan and Gnome related humor will like Wildstar.

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
also its no longer time that we stick on 1 MMO for 5-7 years anymore. maybe we should just buy the mmo we like and play for the free month and begone with it.
Better than the alternatives with "realistic" graphics and the same color palette as a NYC subway station men's room toilet. It may no longer a time for YOU to spend 5-7 years on a game, but there are still plenty of us out there who know the value of staying with a game.
Last hope for what ? Ex/current WoW players looking for the next big one ? Yes it has that nailed, and no that's not a bad thing, its actually an great thing (not for my taste but great none the less) . The devs were aiming ( by their words) to make a sci-fi WoW with action combat and much better game systems, and they did that masterfully.
Agreed, they worked hard on it, but it will be a nitch game at best. And to the above poster about color pallet, I'll make the NYC subway color if ESO over the pastel colors of WS any day.

It is true, the older you get, the less patience you have for those who watch a Youtube video and from that believe they know it all.

Ummmm no its NOT a nitch game in any way at all, its the complete opposite, it is very much a mainstream game.
Wurm, Darkfall, Mortal Online, those are nitche games.

Why do you even spend time on a themepark games forums if you clearly are a sandbox man...
You state your opinion in the same sentence where you indicate that your opinion and statement about this themepark has no value about the specific game, but only about themeparks in general... You posted in the wrong forum mate..

Originally posted by squalleonaha well, depend on how they handle the 40 man raid though, most experience i got from 12-24 raid is supper lag. so i dont actually trust the 40 man raid at all.
Sounds like you need to upgrade or just get rid of your Windows 2000 computer. I have never had lag in these situations. Then again, im not trying to raid on a graphing calculator.
its too soon to assume that the lag is on my side. i built my own rig and i know how to handle little PC issue.
what i'm talking is the server they running for 40 man. as in other game i played, the 12 and 24 man they giving tons of lag and high latency, delay
that is your internet and pc dude.. i never lagged or anything in any games beside FFXIV reborn because the server is located in canada and i am located in denmark.. i get a delay of 200ms.
it's not about the server at all. its about the client's pc to be able to handle 20/40 man raids as it is in wildstar..
this game as descriped before is for people who look for a challenge in a rich enviorment and raiding.
even dungeons are hard as hell and some of the starting dungeons are just as hard as a raid in wow.

Just another NCsoft game.
The Business Model is pretty similar.

Newer games, familiar concepts. Nothing new from the west Twenty-Forever!!
