WildStar is in ANY way, the better MMO. Betther graphics, better movement, superior sombat, tons of content, challenging raids, best housing ever and tons of more stuff!
SWToR? G2W? Rift? Archage? Tera? you name it... there is by far no other F2P MMO on the market right now, that even comes close to the quality and features of WildStar.
I'm a strong support of Wildstar, but GW2 carries a lot of weight too. Beautiful graphics fluid movement and combat. Also, the dungeons are very challenging considering you have no dedicated tank or healer. Both games definitely weed out the weaker players.

I could agree with this as both a pragmatist and contemplating on such objectively. Graphics is up in the air, as it's a matter of two aesthetics looking great. With combat, I definitely agree as I felt that's the 2nd worst issue the game (GW2) has at the moment (perhaps it may be due to stacking / zerging and no roles, which is being rectified in the expansion) behind it's bad storyline. With the lack of content being a third. Housing is great and one of the pet peeves I have against GW2 at the moment, along with the inability to sit in chairs and how they break the flow of immersion with their speech cutscenes.
If we're talking about Heart of Thorns (A B2P and not F2P), I'd have to see more of it. But I'm liking what I see so far, so it will be a contender for overall quality.
I actually hated the races in Wildstar, as well as despising the combat in it. None of the classes really stuck with me. Though I won't let personal bias in this matter disregard what is there. In truth, I'd only pick Wildstar for it's housing and such, but if GW2 ever got that, I'd go for it when asked to pick between the two. This is not considering what we do not have access to in Heart of Thorns.
Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing). German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century. Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now). I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things). In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while. If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this. If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own. Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis. Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.

As long that they fix alot problem that didn't get people to stay, all the stuff you talk about was in the game at lunch but some how mass amount of people went up and left. As few months ago back I renew my sub, as I seen they fix a lot of bugs but they end up on losing people slowly more befor the word of f2p came out.
I found Wildstar to be very very active in its combat and general playstyle. It was always rush, rush rush, right from the start. By the end of the third zone though, I felt that I had done nothing despite all the stuff I had to do to get there. I had very little opportunity or incentive to group or interact with others, and housing (as good as I hear it is) was barely a blip on the radar. I mean, sure, I had a plot, but nothing else. The basic premise of the game (until that point) was to settle this wild, new, land and begin to explore its wonders, so you can imagine how disengaged I was by the time I finished scouring every bad thing in existence accross 2+ zones in order to get an empty plot of land with no means to do anything with it. In short, the game just lost me in a blur of disjointed . . . stuff.
I've tried twice to get into it, and I'm happy to hear that they are trying to reinvent the new player experience. I, for one, think it is sorely needed. I will most certainly go back and try these changes out. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm and they can "wildstar" me from the start instead of "generic MMO-ing" me until level 30.
How well is the game optimized?
I know that at launch this was a game breaking issue (for me). With i5 3470 and AMD 7850 I barely had more than 30 FPS on 1080p medium/high settings in starter zones (that were not really that full of people).
as amd user i was getting poor fps , playable but ugh... gonna give it a try ....
ppl that bought the game have perks right?
pd fix the width ,is like watching the web on my phone.
I wanted to like this game, on paper it looked great.
But, my biggest complaint was the starter area. Visually it was just appalling. Everything was very bright green with lots of purples and pinks and such. The coloring of the area made me feel so out of place. As if I was a grown man who accidentally logged in to a game made for 3 year olds.
So my question is, are there any other starting zones? Would I have to run through that same visual vomit before getting to more appealing areas? Or is the entire game like WoW graphically redesigned for an even younger audience?

try rolling Dominion instead.. but not sure how they'll look now i heard they done some changes to the starter zones.
I think there are 4 starting areas (both faction has 2-2 based on your chosen race). Bright green and pink sounds like exile fluffies and zombies to me Though the graphic style is pretty much the same throughout Nexus, so everywhere you go it's bright and cartoony, even deep in the dungeons.
Skuall, yep box owners and former subscribers have perks, like more character slot, and loyalty bonuses.

Thank you. Bright and cartoony can go well with me. I just cannot stand pink and green together. Torchlight was a bit bright and cartoony imo but I enjoyed it. Looks I'll need to try Dominion.
Nice that I'll get to try this for no additional cost.
Torchlight is a good example, pretty much like that. The other exiles (humans and the Thing aka rock people) have a more rocky starter area, with browns, greys on cliffs and green/yellow-ish grass, with almost no trees compared to bunny world. Also some snow, and blue crystals among the cliffs (less gravity, huge jumps and with it huge jumping puzzles)
Good to see that now more people will be able to try Wildstar. And sadly realize, its just not good.
It's definitely the best F2P MMO on the market (by a large margin).
So either you are still playing dummed down content in wow or you just don't like MMO's in general.
Give some reasons to back up that statement..."best F2P" is sort of like saying the "best" of the failed subscription MMO's - is that saying much?
BEst raid content, quick content updates with meaty content in them, amazing combat system, superb housing, good character creation, rich and detailed lore, many collectibles, tons of personality. ECT, If wildstar had a brand name like WoW and FFXIV do, it would of not failed at all.
If it's all that, then why did it fail quickly after launch as a p2p? If it were that good, there would have been enough people to keep it afloat. The fact that it fell hard and fast tells me that it's not worth the BW it takes to DL it.
I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.

it probably has the best housing( i dunno i'm not into that kind of stuff) other than that it's a pretty average game. maybe even slightly below average. you kinda either hate it or love it.
I will play again Wildstar once is F2P. Wildstar is one of few modern games, if not the only one, where exploration is possible. The game world is large enough to explore places and find things. It have all I like in a game... world to explore, pets, pet class, housing and questing. Another big plus for me: not PVP in open areas.
I enjoyed my time in the game. My main issue was always optimization. It ran poorly in just about every aspect. I will check it out again when it goes F2P and hopefully some of those issues have been resolved.
It's a great game, but still runs like SHIT. Unsubbed because of that, returned for the free 10 days or w/e, still shit, return for F2P CB, still shit, even with graphical downgrade.
If you don't own a rather modern i5/i7, don't bother, especially if you wanna raid. I have an FX 8350 (yes I know it ain't ideal for MMOs, but it what it is)/GTX 970 and game can go down as low as 20 fps and stuttery mess, in single player gameplay... the GPU does nothing, 20-30% utilization.
I don't intend to play WS if they can't fix this single threaded crap, even though it's a great MMO that would be just fine until WoW Legion comes out.

Yeah, that must be it. He doesn't like Wildstar so he's a casual noob in WoW or he just hates all MMO's.
Oh what a beautiful and incredible game, that make so much sucess and is wonderful! I love it so much! And I'm really happy it's going to be f2p. I'm sure it's because to bring more players. One of the best games in the history of mankind.
Sorry but MMORPG.com doesnt accepted me saying the truth, then i'm posting only positive htings about WildStar. Feel free to ban me MMORPG.com, my life wont change. Cya.

I once said the same thing, but instead of 3 year olds I said 12 or 16 year olds (I forget) and I got a warning lol.
