How awesome is WildStar?
Combat feels great, and is obviously the games greatest asset.
Its action packed, and a much welcomed breath of fresh air into the MMO space.
It is immensely gratifying to get that gank.
But world PvP aside, the battlegrounds and arena battles are also pretty intense.
Because of the combat system, it is like having a completely separate game within the game.
Hell, give me a 10v10 Arena battle while youre at it.
Also noteworthy isWildStarsfantastic soundtrack, which helps to musically paint the chimerical extra-terrestrial paradise that is Nexus.
The game is loaded with incredible battle hymns, marches, theme music and some lighter-hearted scherzos.
Kudos to composer Jeff Kurtenacker for creating an unprecedented high-quality soundtrack.
Nexus also looks pretty great, although it still has a few bugs to work out.
Aside from that, the only other bug I ran into was random minimizing to Windows.
No quests were bugged that I noticed, which is quite an achievement with so many quests.
And, there are so many quests.
There are some truly great quests on Nexus, though.
Its delightfully spookyas spooky as an animated MMO could possibly be.
The need for speed is satisfied at level 40 via a speed increase that costs 50 gold.
As far as the games economy is concerned, its very healthy at this point.
Again, more options.
Housing is unlocked at level 14.
Youre even able to give your housing plot a name.
Youll also find FABkits scattered about the world that allow you to place special plugs onto your land.
Crafting is also quite formidable, with options galore.
Or, you could dye your awesome gear.
Dyes can be crafted, found in the world, or bought.
This is a journey worth taking, andWildStaris the MMO weve been waiting for.
