This game is looking beastly, really loving the art style!

[Aired]

doomsayers, is this the wow killer?

[peggleftw]

the trailer looked like a trailer for an upcoming kids film... but the gameplay videos look kinda cool, nice smooth animations, unlike most new MMOs and a cool art style, cartoony like wow, but not too cartoony.

[conscript]

I'm not a huge fan of the visuals, but I very much enjoyed that trailer. It was like Firefly for kids with a more sci-fi feel.

That's a great way of putting it. Thank you, I know now why I'm tempted by it

Now to find a floral bonnet....

[Mistral]

Better than expected for now. Put it on my "keep an eye on" list, even though I'm not so much in sci-fi MMOs.

A less than stellar ('scuse the pun) article on gameinformer: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/08/17/ncsoft-announces-pc-mmo-wildstar.aspx

Edit to add: I really like the idea of a game with a real sense of humour, but the aesthetic isn't to my taste (judging from what little we've seen so far anyway)

updated the first post with some stuff, more updates coming!

[georgevonfranken]

Gameplay looked nice, was that a starting area?
Liked the character animations but still dont like the art style

[unholytestament]

Lastly we looked at comics such as Hellboy, Battle Chasers, and Tank Girl

Lordy lordy, they are singing my song!

I suppose the story is that that we are on our way to Nexus (Planet) and get shot down and then we are forced to built up a base camp and evolve from there. And yeah, teh gameplay trailer starts on the drop ship where you got shot down.

need beta !!

Do you know if those avalanche things were just random things happening or a scripted part of a quest? If its a random event because of weather that would be awesome!

[Sofii]

As long as this ISN'T a subscription one, I'll get it. I already preordered ToR and I don't want to waste that.

[Verazh]

*drools*

Also hoping for no subscription on this one.

[Uzi]

I love the Disney graphics

These Avalanche Things are part of the Path the player chose. When he leaves the crashed Spaceship there are 2 questgivers to the left. one normal questgiver and another with a different symbol above his head. This is a quest that supports the path you have chosen. The player in the demo is explorer and when he comes close ot the avalanche area he gets a notification that there might sbe something interesting to discover close by. To get to that place he needs to avoid the avalanches.

If I remember correct! thanks for the Question!

Updated Inforation on the Paths System

I have some concerns...

The Press conference was kind of unprofessional. The Guy has clearly no experience to "present" something to a crowd bigger than 3. His body language is so funny, or what is his right arm doing all the time in part 1 ? Pet Puppys ? I'm also disappointed that any video you see the exact same "live footage" shown in x other Videos already. The Q&A Live stream today gave me the rest. Even the developers have no ansers to most of the questens....Pay System = No Idead, Content Patching = More or less like other MMOs...rhetorical often total nonsense...like "I'm glad you ask that....but i can't answer, keep track of ouor website w-w-w-.w-i-l-d ... bla bla

With all respect to the Studio, it seems that they where more or less not that prepared. Maybe one year to early for announcing a game that will come in - let's say - 2-3 years top most.
