For many people, the "magic" of WoW was simply their first mmo. For others, it was the polished and well combined features of previous titles into one game. Post WoW, there is no mystery or originality anymore. It's been said time and again; been there, done that. The magic is gone. As long as Carbine makes a game that is fun, entertaining, and keeps me coming back for more, that's all that matters.
Well it wasn't my first MMO. FFXI had that "magic" for me before WoW. SWG had it for me before FFXI. So...for me, your argument has no merit. For you it may have been the magic of novelty, for me it is something else. Something very tough to define but there none the less.
As for Wildstar, it needs to be fun, entertaining and have longevity yes, but so far...all I've seen and otherwise point to it not having at least 1 of those if not all 3.
I'm looking forward to someone making a mod to replace that ugly lump of UI-something in the middle bottom part of the screen. Maybe there'll be a Roth UI for WildStar or something.

So because one game is fully voiced it makes it the norm for all mmo's?
One? Catch up. And even if it's not the norm for all MMOs, it is the norm for RPGs, and has been for years.

Red carpet dodging,already done in FFXIV,so nothing new there.
Dodging is great IF done right,Unreal series started dodging and perfected it,GW2 made a joke of it with the rolling somersaults.
Double jump is what ruined the unreal series,it looks out of place and imo just dumb,i never got into Unreal after UT99 just because of that double jump nonsense.
Author thinks the red carpet does not dumb down combat,sorry but he is wrong,it most certainly does.You are NOT watching the field of combat,you are watching for the red carpet treatment of hand holding.In FFXI for example, the game that actually does combat HARD and intuitive,you had to LEARN each and every mobs tactics,there was and is no red carpet treatment to tell you exactly what it is.
Besides that FFXIV is already doing it,so WS is not bringing anything new to the table.
Aiming,well there will ALWAYS be a debate there,but since i have played pretty much thousands of hours of both,i can truly say that it depends on how interactive the combat system is.Aiming works perfectly in a FPS environment such as Unreal series or Quake or COD ect ect,it does NOT work well for a game that has intuitive rpg elements as such in FFXI for example.
The biggest and most determining factor as i see it,is how easy a game makes leveling.If levels are so fast,they become meaningless,that means the game becomes meaningless.Levels and advancement should feel like they are earned,there should be a sense of satisfaction,it should NOT feel like easy mode handouts at the candy store.
We will find out the real truths when the game is released,i personally have seen no indication the game will do anything amazing that i have not seen better in other games.Usually if a game fails a bit ,i can fall back on exploration or nice graphics,WS will not have that luxury,they MUST create a GREAT character and combat system because the graphics are not good enough ,the housing is not good enough it will be a one trick pony.

There is a WORLD of difference between the "red carpet" feature in Wildstar and FFXIV. You aren't even close to being on point regarding this subject. And yeah, if you don't like the "hand holding" of telegraphs, there is an option to turn them completely off.
FFXIV combat and Wildstar combat aren't even in the same ballpark to one another. Not the same league, and not even the same sport.
Oh, and one other thing you are wrong about: You absolutely, 100% WILL BE focused entirely on the field of combat with the telegraph system. I'm amazed you could actually think otherwise. The fucking telegraphs are ON the field of combat, for crissakes. What else would you call it?

Wow. I wasn't even attacking you nor being condescending, nor trying to demonstrate any infinite experience over anyone in MMOs. I merely pointed out that you gave 2 reasons for the "magic" not being there and I disagree with both due to my past experiences. Not everyone is out to get you, you know. At least not me. The magic does have a lot to do with polish but it also has a lot to do with sheer amount of content and variation of said content. WoW blew me away because I went through 3 different characters and still didn't see every quest in the game nor every zone on my leveling journey. It was fantastic. That and the music and sound effects were the best in the genre as well as character controls/feedback and UI interaction coupled with humor and an aesthetic which actually worked and didn't push me away. I suppose that's the "magic" that all games seem to miss. BUT, I bring up FFXI because it gave me that same "magic" just in different flavors. I still remember the feel of FFXIs zones and the music and sound and the interaction with party members while leveling far more than I do my numerous characters in every other MMO aside from WoW since then. So, the "magic" we're talking about here, CAN be repeated, it just hasn't been yet. I'm waiting on the company who "gets it" to bring it back. Just a matter of time now.

Game looks good. I am absolutely going to play it. I wonder if they will copy GW2 downleveling and dynamic events though. Those are pretty cool features - and better then WoW quest hubs. WoW leveling experience is much better then most MMOs but it doesn't compare to GW2s. Which is currently the only 'chill out and explore" MMO out there. Though TESO looks to have that kind of gameplay too.

I think TESO is going for more of a GW2 look. Wildstar appears to be pulling more pages from WoW. That may be a turnoff to some. It's definitely a quest-hub game. I'm fine with it, personally. Just give me a nice-looking world to explore, and I'm okay having to go to hubs for my quests. GW2 was basically a quest hub game as well. They just packaged those quests better than we've seen in the past.
I'm okay with either style, as long as the game world is interesting and well-made.

As much as I hate Wildstar for it's cartoony graphics and boring linear quest grind... the idea... that anyone... would actually suggest that FFXIV's combat is comparable to Wildstar's is mindblowing to me. FFXIV has the worst combat ever released by a AAA mmo while Wildstar's combat is the one thing the developers really hit out of the ballpark... and for some to suggest that they're the same... Just ugh...

Dear chap, you have it all wrong! Firstly, it pains me to disappoint you but I actually am English, currently residing in one of the more modern parts of Hampshire.

Is there any difficulty during combat with AI? I think there should be a good medium between, for example - vanilla WoW - having to drink and eat after 1 or 2 mob kills and being able to AoE huge packs of mobs with little to no downtime...
IDK, people criticize some games for their easy PVE content. All we've seen in WS is level 1-15, but I get a weird sense it's going to be too easy throughout.

Another good read. I really enjoy the way they have questing laid out from what I have seen in live streams and videos. I like the remote turn in feature, that's something swtor did with a few quests that was really nice and kept you moving forward while questing. The dungeons look fun. I can't wait to see the end game the only glimpse we really had was that vine posted by Frost that showed everyone running in, and it looked awesome!

Looking at screens and videos gave me that impression too. After having played it, it felt different from WoW the second I logged in. They both have stylized graphics, but the game has completely different feel to it IMHO.
All this hype with telegraph and combat I think that is going to become a letdown for a lot of ppl. The Secret World has almost the same mechanics, and even being fun, it ends getting boring.
Also I cant help but notice that the world is empty. Terrain and locations have very little detail. Almost no weather, wind, light, grass, wildlife animations nor NPCs that could give life to a wolrd.
Things gotta change a lot for this game to be something more that a cute attempt to make an innovative MMORPG. As things stand now this game shouldnt deserve more than a 8/10 and that giving lots of points for his mechanics and being genorous.
