I don't think the game is "the best" at anything it does, but it's still a pretty complete package with lots of love in its details. Like the game or not, but it has soul.
Anyway the EU servers were all low, except for one that went to medium later in the evening. I guess by now everyone who was/is interested in the game already had enough chance to get an impression on the previous weekends and there wasn't a huge run on the EU servers.
"It's the best MMO, jump in and prove us wrong"... what is wrong about the game (UI, performance, classes/bugs, amps, starting areas and more) has been posted in and out on the forums and to a certain part been ignored by the "devs who are listening".
Except that if you actually played / payed attention to the game, you would see that the UI was already completely rehauled, the performance is continually being optimized, and the housing truly is the best out of any mmorpg to date.
I love the new UI. I'll admit the lag with it at first was really bad, but they fixed that.

Some of us would like to play the game, but can't despite the fact Carbine says our systems should be able to without a problem. Funny that, huh?

Best game I've played this year? So that's going to put it up against Rift (which Trion has been killing off steadily this year) and ESO. Well, crap. That's not going to be a hard win. All it needs to do is be average.
They find problems and they fix them, there's a word for that oh yeah beta. Also I can't remember any mmo release that was perfect. Stop being snobs and support the game if you like it or go do something else if you don't.
“We have the best damn MMO that’s you’re going to play this year. Period. End.” – Mike Donatelli I played. I disagree. The game is childish and obnoxious (not because of the graphics either)
“If you are going to sell an MMO for the box price with a $15 subscription you got to give them the value. Month after month we will release more content for every play style.” – Mike DonatelliI can't speak on this, but if you find this game not annoying, it does have a ton of stuff to throw at you.
“We have an entire expansion worth of content that we plan to launch over the next 12 months,” Mike DonatelliCould be true, but CHALLENGE STARTED ruins it for me.
“We have a whole zone that’s coming in the very first patch post-launch,” Mike DonatelliAgain, probably true... but it's still Wildstar which is not a good thing to me.
“Best Housing of any MMO, ever,” Matt MocarskiI'm sure somebody will disagree with this bold statement. I'm not equipped to argue.
“We are the first ever MMO to do mount customizations (we have hoverboards in the game if you didn’t know),”Matt Mocarski Whoopty fucking do.
“The 40 man Raid is bat s$@# insane,” Mike DonatelliYes. It is because the combat system is the only thing really engaging about the game.
“We definitely have the best Raids of any MMO,” Stephan Frost Say it two times because that's all Wildstar really had for me
The game runs better than it did before, but like I said... it's still WIldstar. I'm sure others will enjoy it. I honestly don't understand why they shelved Blade & Soul for Wildstar.
It was a marketing decision (if even that) to stop Blade & Soul and bring this instead. Most "Asian/Korean-Style MMOS" do not really do too great over her in NA.
To be honest though, they probably stopped Blade and Soul for other reasons than Wildstar's release.

UI 2.0 is about as bad as the previous version was, albeit in its own way. Fonts, functions, certain class related stuff (i.e. Esper PSI indicators/bars), clutter, quest tracker, C for phone calls, V for loot, F to interact, Chat/-functions, popup overkill and other things that have been discussed and complained about for UI2.0 as much as for v1.0
Of course performance is continually being optimized, it happens with every game and even WoW's engine is getting tweaked until today. No one questions that Carbine is in the process of optimizing, the problem is that the game runs horrible for alot of people as is now. The related thread on the forum is like 30 pages long with people stating that nothing was optimized for them in several weekends. So whatever Carbine is doing is not enough for alot of people who sit on 20 fps on mid to high end PCs.
I can't speak about the housing, but i read a tip in the loading screen today stating somethign like : "you can get all this and that for your house ...with money" what exactly seems to mirror Carbine's attitude in regards to the game's CREDD influenced economy.
Some people are going to like WS and some are not. I fall in the NOT camp myself. I wish the game success but I will not be in any way part of it. Played beta....many many hours....and it just did not live up to my expectations. Again, that does not mean that it will be way over the top for someone else...just not for me.
Tried it in one of the betas a while ago, 30 minutes into the game i was bored as hell. It's a pity because i really enjoyed what they were doing with housing, combat would need getting used to but nothing too hard, pretty standard everywhere else, but the questing just put me off completely. If i'm not having fun leveling i'm not touching it (especially with a sub).
Maybe because pretty much all games beta leave optimisation to the end and it's stupid complaining about optimisation in a test phase.. That is used to optimise software and hardware.

As a pve raid game it is fun no doubt about that. The skill/attack system is meh...as in "spam 1 until npc is dead, if enemy isnt dead in 2-3 hits add keys 2-4". The directional stuff of npcs is just plain boring because you see it charging and know exactly when it deals dmg. Not that it is bad just really predictable.
The class system is mediocre but the..job(?).. system makes up for it... at least a bit. Not sure how it will affect stuff at high lvl but on low it was fun but not really useful. Might be because few people used it. Stations were down most of the time and encounters were easy to solo.
But none the less I would play it but the gfx turned me away. Might play it as f2p but no way for 15$ a month.

Their hype has died down quite a bit since a lot of people have gotten into the beta weekends so they needed to jump start it again is all.
Alumicard if you think the game is meh, it's not going to get less meh just because you don't pay a sub. smacks of the jaded ul play a game even thou I don't like it mentality doesn't it- and we all know what that does to the social aspects of a Moore don't we,,,

This MMO is so good that after a couple of hours playing, I had to uninstall in order not to be addicted!

I did not enjoy WoW ...so after trying closed beta a while back I decided this game was not for me.
So I guess "best damn MMO" doesn't apply to me then....must not be their target audience....

Can you guy's make things easier !!!!! Cries , oh the tears !
That Frost dude says, NOPE !
Ok , I have much RESPECT for that.
Just that statement alone just really shifted my thoughts about this game.

ill go again and look around a little bit and see if there are people playing.
not interested in playing more than a view minutes-average and boring.

I couldn't agree more.
That said. The three things they have done best (in the game, not the genre) IMO are:
Housing, Crafting, and Adventures
I'm not a fan of their dungeons. Not at all.
For the record: A tough guy doesn't have to tell you he is tough. You can just look at them and know.

I was questioning that one too, but I couldn't think of one that lets you. Do you know any?
