You better pop some inspirations if you aren't capped for fire resist.
Looking at some of the articles there WildStar looks a lot like WoW for something that's supposed to have a distinctive look.
Sure, it's in space, but WoW has Space Goats and Space Orcs, and Gnomish and Goblin tech, Dwarven tanks and Outland is basically its space expansion.
As long as they don't make the mistake of trying to out-WoW WoW and they get themselves out from under NCSoft they might be able to last.

WoW is the beacon that the cybug MMO's already run towards and fry themselves at the end of each game.

you need to troll a few forums thats the place people go to read what the beta / players are saying...
after reading various gw2 fan forums know your facts as most of the trolls
make a simple mistake like...bots are stealing my nodes totally blows the attempt

I have no interest in Wildstar. Your comment while basically polite still just comes across as a bitter CoH player; unfortunately not a lot of MMoers even know what CoH is/was or care that it is being shut down. Kinda like when Tabula Rasa was being closed down...no one here cared; even though it was NCSoft. I have nothing against NC and if they ever make a game that looks like something I would enjoy I will gladly give it a go. Unfortunately for them...I am not a fan of MMOs in general though.

And, honestly, I don't think non-CoXers really care. They view the shutdown of CoH the same way as most of the people on these boards viewed the shutdown of TR, AA, Exteel, DR, etc. If you weren't playing and enjoying those games, you just shrugged and kept doing what you were doing.
Anti-NCSofters say "NCSoft is bad, and shuts down games! They are the Evil!"
Non-CoXers hear "A 10 year old game most people either never heard of or stopped playing is shutting down. In other, actually important, news, ME3 is letting you pay for new clothes!"
Right or wrong, I suspect that's going on more often than not.

It's no different than when other MMOs close down and we here didn't care."Such and such game is closing" "Eh it sucked." or "Eh it was F2P." or whatever

Before NCSoft's closing of CoH, there were plenty of posters here who were looking forward to checking out Wildstar.
Hopefully they don't go to WoW in Space though, as we havethat with TOR.

I suspect Father Xmas meant gameplay, but visually I get more 'Iron Giant' from Wildstar than I do anything else.

Well more stylized and cartoon look for characters, structures and terrain than, for lack of a better term, realistic look.

Dispite i dont like NCsoft for closing down this game, if they can put down a decent game as in B&S or Wildstar, i still will play it. Though i dont got any hope both games will be big successes (by the time its released in EU we're talking 2014), i judge the game by its content initialy.

i've been following trailers for quite a while, if you take away the common 'anti asian anime character' hate, i still believe it might be decent.

Re: B&S - The combat looks like it could be fun, I'll give it that. Not remotely enough to overcome all the things about the game I'm either indifferent to or actively dislike, but they seem to have done a good job with the motion physics, etc.

whatever happened to RockPaperScissors World of Starcraft anyways? last time I checked Activision had simply taken down a youtube video and then poof, the news stream stops cold

The gameplay video I saw made the thing look really wowish to me, in almost every way. Character proportions were a bit different, but environments, critters and eve the shaders seemed very similar. The open worlds with countless critters just standing there waiting to be killed... I don't think this game will be for me (even if I abandoned my NCSoft boycott |

Blizard backpedalled a bit about their actions, claimed their only concern was the name used for the mod, but after that, I never saw any additional info. I don't have the game (it's the kind of game I would love to play precisely when I'm away from my internet and the DRM prevents me to play the campaign offline) so I cant check their mod library to see if it ever got out.
