Yeah, same. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out since I've played many MMOs and probably have higher standards/expectations than most people. I just hope its better than ESO.

Doesnt say what kind of game it is.  Just has a bunch of flashy movie-style trailers.

I played some earlier today because my friend wanted to try it out, but it took about 5 minutes for me to decide that I've had it up to here with MMOs and ****ing grinding, and if I feel like playing an MMO I'll go back to something I've already put time and money into rather than start on a new one.

Also, at least half of the character designers/animators must've looked at Tera and gone "yeap, that's pretty good, let's do that". Because The Escapist forums don't have enough reasons to start even more sexism in gaming threads as it is.


That said, I do like where some of the art style is going and the gameplay seems ok for an mmo, so if anyone's looking to get into an mmo and are willing to pay a monthly fee for some reason then Wildstar is actually looking pretty good from what I can see.

It's weird that has started crashing more & more. It's getting less stable as time goes on. I thought the point of these betas and stress tests was to do the opposite.

I played the beta again, is it just me or does the UI feel really sluggish?

What set ups are you using? Had no issues with crashing on an i7-2600 rig or a Surface Pro 2.  Game seems fun for a single player rpg, doubt I'd subscribe though...

i5-2500k and a 270x

Is there a particular part you are crashing at?  I can try replicate the issue.  I'm only Lvl 7 or 8.  My short attention span and lack of blocks of free time prevents me from being any sort of high rank

No crashes in ~10 hours but it isn't terribly compelling gameplay.

My feelings exactly. That's why I said I won't be playing this hardcore, just something to pass the time with friends until a really good MMO comes out.
