Just wanted to stop by and give my two cents. I received a return guest pass to the game last night, as I was a closed beta invitee. I have to say, back then the game did not catch my interest at all. To be fair let me start off by giving some of the games I do like and find enjoyable, as to kind of bare witness to my objections to Wildstar. I worked at Blizzard and loved WoW played it for about 7 years. I like the cartoony look and that of Borderlands. However, on the reverse I also like real life looking MMO's, EQ 1  & 2 and Rift , before it went FTP and then the game nose dived as far as community and feel.
 
Nevertheless, Wildstar, Character creation seems cobbled together, I just did not have any kind of attachment to the character I normally have when I want to make a character that I am going to spend hours playing. I just randomized it and settled. I have to say the art style really bothers me, its like a cross between a failed Disney show and a game my 6yo Nephew would play on my brothers Note 3.
 
The intro to the game, they shoehorn you into a direction with popups all over the screen. The quests scripts are the same exact style as the talking and I had issues trying to read what the hell quest I was just given. I am assuming, as I was on the ship to get put in cryo 300 years ago I would have some sort of memory of the ships layout. That remark is referring to the complete lack of direction for the quests and layout of the ship. If it were not for me accidentally clicking on the quest and giant white arrows popping up on my screen I would have had no way to find the direction of the quests I needed to go in. I know, the game has to hand lead you sometimes, but really, this was quite inane at times. 
 
The Intro quests, "find my pregnant wife as I cant." I literally walked 7ft from the quest giver and clicked the F key. Well what do you know, I found her. So I can add computer hacking and Database repair and searching to my characters skills, nope. I got to chose no skills, nothing. I made a character that escaped from a cartoon version of the original King Kong movie and then woke up in cryo.
The next quest was to go shoot some medical bots that were on a rampage, which brings me to trying to move and fire while constantly pressing the #1 key while trying to keep the mob in the little rectangle, oh but don't hit the # 2 action key and try to do the same thing as you cant move on that attack. So I can add marksmen, acrobatics and defensive fighting techniques to my char, awesome! Nope, I got to chose no skills, nothing. I made a character that escaped from a cartoon version of the original King Kong movie and then woke up in cryo.
 
So it would seem that the only way to save the ship is trust this guy who, luckily just woke up out of cryo, and didn't get the cryo sickness, to repel boarding parties and while I am at it, repair broken power generators for an intergalactic Starship, awesome! So I can add more combat skills to my character, and also, Energy and power plant mechanic skills to my character, excellent! Nope, I got to chose no skills, nothing. I made a character that escaped from a cartoon version of the original King Kong movie and then woke up in cryo.
 
The quests, were generic, at best. There was no rhyme or reason to them, other than to get you from A to B. They were completely out of place. The exiles were being chased across the galaxy by the other people, I cant even recall them, we'll just call them the Nazi's They are attacking and after I save a pregnant lady for a one eyed cowboy with a wolf pet, and repel boarding parties and get the entire ship power again, I have to go the library and now I have to disarm bombs. So now I am part of the EOD, with those skills,awesome! Nope. According to my character I am a sharpshooter with explorer tendencies. Nothing in my character write up about any of these skills I obviously posses. 
 
Boring, not well thought out, for a multi-million company, who's soul purpose is to come up with RPG elements for a multi-million dollar RPG game. I played the game last night and today for about 10 hours. It was all I could do to play that long, once I left the spaceship and crashed on the ground. It got no better. Continuity was horrible. Here, check, go here, check, gather this, check....just wow. They absolutely made this game for the lowest common denominator. If the game somewhere on the box or on the website, said "Meant for elementary and pre-junior high kids," then all I have said is for naught and I take back everything I said. My apologies, if I offended any of you young folk.
 
I guess I am just holding these new games to a higher standard. If it is indeed for the majority of players which are late teens and thru the late 20's and early 30's. Everyone of you should be offended at this ragtag of a game. As you can see, I am offering no ideas to make it better, whats the purpose. I am just pointing the things out that I find at fault, and this is just my opinion. We all have them.
If they want to pay me, and I am not greedy, you don't have to pay me 75K/year to get your story and quests in line. I'm good with 74K/year. =)
 
 
Anyway, this was way longer than I initially had planned.

So basicially you just want to satisfy your tremendous ego with your post,
while wildstar indeed has its flaws that was the most ridiculous thread I've ever read
on this forum.
 
The next time you want attention how about wandering naked through the streets.

Yep, like I previously stated in my initial post, it was just my opinion.
Luck and loot to you on capturing those crazy lost teens, Mr. Lethrface.
