Soldiers spend a lot of time doing timed missions to kill stuff. These are designed to complement your style of play with a choice of Soldier, Scientist, Settler or Explorer. In addition to your class you must also choose a path. Wildstar features the classic tank, damage-dealer and healer setup but allows classes a large amount of freedom to play in the role they prefer. If you’ve played games such as WoW, Guild Wars 2 and Rift you’ll likely already have an idea of what class to go for. You can then choose a class from a selection of Warrior, Spellslinger, Esper, Engineer, Stalker and Medic. Each faction has four races with Human, Granok, Aurin and Mordesh for the Exiles and Cassian, Mechari, Draken and Chua for the Dominion.Īs you’d expect to get started you need to choose your faction, race and gender before customising your look. Players must join one of two factions – the Exiles or the Dominion. The bulk of the game is set on the planet Nexus which was previously inhabited by a mysterious race known as the Eldan. In many ways it feels a lot like playing WoW did when it launched all those years ago – this is a good thing indeed. The set of features here rivals the big MMO’s including WoW. The graphics, sound and animation are superb with a feeling of polish that most MMO’s fail to ever meet, never mind launch with. Wildstar has been in development for almost 10 years and just a few minutes with the game is enough to impress. Like all MMO’s the game promises big things but it is hard to ignore them as Carbine was formed from 17 ex-Blizzard staff. Now it’s the turn of Carbine Studios and NCSOFT with their new entry into the genre, Wildstar, which is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. Of the MMO’s that have done well many started out as subscription-based but have since gone the way of free-to-play. Plenty of games have tried to take the crown but most haven’t managed to come close.

“WildStar is a brand new IP and new universe that has attracted more than 1.4 million beta signups already, so it seems like other gamers are also eager for something new and different in the MMO space.Since its launch in 2004 World of Warcraft (WoW) has remained the most dominant Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game. “We’ve aimed for fun and unique content for MMO gamers of all stripes from level one to level cap and beyond.” “Both noobs and MMO vets will have a blast with our fast-paced combat, while experienced guilds and groups will build complete battle-fortresses using our Warplot system and tackle some truly epic raids.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing the first players begin their journey on the unexplored planet of Nexus.” "We’re stoked to launch WildStar,” said Jeremy Gaffney, executive producer at Carbine Studios. The Deluxe Edition will be available digitally or at retail as a limited edition collectable steelbook.
