I played some more Wildstar today and even got a beta key for Hubby. My opinion has changed. Ok, I’m still not a fan of the wildly disproportionate female characters but some things never change.
I played a Medic and an Esper, Settler and Scientist paths respectively. I am finding the classes a ton of fun to play. Medic and Esper have no trouble killing anything they come across. I died twice and both times it was completely my fault because I was distracted by the hubby across the room. But hey, that’s ok it happens. Haven’t healed anyone or anything on my Medic but I usually play a dps healer class anyone, healing as an offspec or off-healer.
Hubby had a blast bouncing around and shooting stuff on his Spellslinger, Explorer character. He was laughing and pointing out all of the NPC’s he wished he could play.
The bouncing and floaty feel doesn’t bother me nearly as much as earlier today. I can see how it will come in handy later in the game. I must admit for the several hours we played this afternoon, I never got bored. It appears there will be sufficient quest for a quester and explorer like myself.
There are still issues that I think need to be addressed. The UI needs as ability to change the size of quest text and coloring without scaling the entire UI up. It is incredibly hard to read 10 point font that is light gray in color. Also, the frame rate being in the dead center of the screen has got to go. There will be addons but I’m definitely one of those who favor minimal UIs and having to run a ton of addons to handle developer mistakes is irritating.
So, I was wrong. I committed the ultimate sin I hate in other game reviewers and I apologize. I should have played more than an hour or two before churning out a published review. I don’t know if we will pre-order it but we had fun.
