so how is this game so far?.. cousin asking me to play

any pros and cons? compared to lets say wow?

Completed silver on vet STL and Kel voreth, onwards to Skullcano!

I would say WOW is the best comparison for this game.
I must say after trying so many games, it has been awhile since an mmo has managed to impress me.

Pros:
- The game is very content rich. I would say more things than WoW, though not as big yet.
- The game is fast paced with a lot of new mechanics - free form targeting, action rpg gameplay, telegraphs, MoO, etc.
- People respect 5-man dungeons, you really need teamwork. You actually feel a sense of accomplishment upon completion of something. Good players will really stand out. Bad players will really get punished.
- Supports Addons - DPS Meters, Grid, EPGP, etc.
- Wildstar presently has 2 raids - 20man and 40man raids.
- The PVP is good and they have Warplots.

Cons:
- The game is hard. For new gamers that has never touched a full scale MMO before - i suggest they start by playing WoW before upgrading to Wildstar.
- Not for everybody. Not only is the game hard, it has quite a steep learning curve - Alot of people will give up during the leveling process, while some will give up when they reach 5-man veteran dungeons. Not everybody will be able to raid.
- The story/lore doesn't really entice or engage you very well. The main story will starts at level 35 (Drusera chain)
- Still some class balancing to be done.
- The default UI is not quite polished yet. You need to learn to use addons via curse.

I would say, if you are a veteran gamer that has played a full scale mmo like WoW - try Wildstar.
If you are a new gamer, start with something easier - like WoW.

hmm sounds like bc in wow again lol completing dungeons really give me a sense of accomplishment back then lol.

but thanks alot too for the write up

u soo good brahhh..i myself still struggling on vet stl! always late to kill the last boss!

I am tempted to get this game...but I am wondering the cost to maintain subscription...

Let say I were to buy the game through Seagm, and extend my sub through paying with ingame currency through the gold I buy from seagm, how much per month are we looking at? Thanks.

I played the 7 days free trial and find that game is really something.

Vet KV the only problem is with the 2nd boss, if you can 1 shot it or 2 shot it, and kill the last boss at first attempt, you will have a good chance to get silver.

For vet stl, if you get the optional mini boss on top of the platform, you can easily skip the trash mobs after Aethros and save alot of time.

The value of gold/platinum varies from server to server. If you are avtively playing the game, gold/platinum should not really be an issue.

How it works is, theres a currency called CREDD that can be used to extend the sub. CREDD can be bought with ingame gold or via cash (abt usd14.90 per CREDD)

Within month 1 of playing the game, I had enough CREDD to extend for 6 months without using any cash at all.

TRUE STORY..

That is good to hear...now need the funds to buy the account first =P

wao..1 month of gaming to cahnge 6 months..
how much time u spent on that 1 month?
i only can fork out max 1-2 hours to play per day..
this is not quite the game for me

game started slow to be honest, quite boring at begining started to regret buying it, once reach lvl50 the fun begin so much things to do, learning about crafting/tradeskill,raids,dungeons ( still work in progress >.<), adventure, pvp

Is malaysians playing the US or EU version of the game?

ah great.... suddenly i got erro "Cannot connect to NCsoft login services"

Cant even open the website.

Disable firewall, even disable antivirus... and already uninstall AVG... Port not blocked. Still cant login, and can't access their website. Great....

Hi Virphirod, try login your e-mail and see NCsoft send some ip adress verification stuff?

I think there's something wrong with Unifi or somethin. After i turn off my router+modem for 3 hours, it worked. Previously I restarted em, and it still screw up.
Ah well... time to reinstall my anti virus

Having the same problem using streamyx. Not your unifi dude..wonder if they blocking us or wat

really wish to try this game but is there anybody around cheras area that can let me copy the game file so that i only need to do minimal download of the game? i am on limited quota here..

yesterday i paid for 6 hours computer usage at a cyber cafe and the download completed is 23% only >.<

Can I immediately play if I just buy the game time card? Or do I need to buy the standard/deluxe edition pack first?

anyone can send me the guest pass or some sort? wanna try this game before buying it
