I'm downloading the game as I speak, but haven't heard any reviews for it much.
 
Any (serious) reviews for the game?!
 
How's the leveling, PVP, realms... 
 
Thank you :)

google has plenty :)
 
welcome, hope you enjoy your time on Nexus. Leave your preconceived MMO notions at the door, be prepared to die and to put effort into anything in game you want to achieve. 	
----
			Thank you! I'll try to search harder! I appreciate it :)

			Hi, also make sure you choose the Entity server assuming you are in NA.

Leveling is basically like any other theme park MMO, Dungeons, and Instanced PvP queues are kinda long due to not a lot of lower level players right now.
 
As for server, PvE all the way if you don't mind playing on a ghost town which are the PvP servers.

to add a little more random thoughts 
 
leveling - for what its worth I like it a lot. I have more max level characters in wildstar than any other MMO I have played. The zones have mostly good stories and quests that are divided into world story - zone story - regional story and tasks. So it is always easy to pick up the quest chains again and decide how important a particular quest is to the overall story. It also affects the amount of xp given with tasks being the least amount of xp and also some of the more grindy quests. generally the questing is the traditional kill/fetch/collect variety.
 
The zones are large, cover quite a few levels and there is not a lot of choice after level 14. well none really but each zone has regions within it with there own storylines.
 
there is a lot of over the top humour in WIldstar. some hate it, some love it.
 
the costume and dye systems are far better than WoW and are getting even more improvements in the next big drop (patch)
 
Hoverboards. nuff said.
 
movement in Wildstar is a lot more fun and fluid than WoW IMO, sprint and double jump make gettting around the world more enjoyable. your mount can also double jump BTW
 
get out of the telegraphs. in the early levels you can be hit by telegraphs and it doens't matter so much by the time you get into whitevale at around level 20 getting hit be telegraphs (standing in fire) can and will get you killed. even base population mobs out in the world are very capable of killing you if you don't pay attention and learn to dodge and dash and strafe and jump and and and.. well you get the idea :)
 
you don't have to target enemies you just have to aim your telegraph. I love this but if you like to target your enemies and don't want to aim you can change options around in the combat menu to make aiming automatic (for PVE only. you must aim your own telegraphs in PVP)
 
Rowsdowers are evil masterminds. don't let there sheepish good looks fool you. same goes for Aurin :D
 
do the shiphands when you come across them as you level they are great content and give some really nice rewards for you level.
 
when you get to level 10 the first dungeon becomes available. try to get a group for it as it is a great introduction to group content in wildstar and a helluva lot of fun.
 
coffee time over! :(
now back to doing actual work

WildStar is easily the best theme park, without a doubt. You'll enjoy the leveling experience more than any other game - make sure you do your path missions along side your quests! And do every challenge!
 
WildStar dungeons and raids put WoW to shame, but there are so many other things to do here, like housing, crafting, ship hands, etc.
 
Enjoy!

welp, it didn't take long for the WoW bashing to begin.
 
Can we just once discuss an MMO without feeling the need to be dumping on WoW. 
Wildstar is good enough to stand on its own two feet you don't need to put other games down to make it look better	
----
			
While I usually never condone name calling, after a year of trolling from wow players all over the internet I can fully understand WS players doing it.
 
Welcome to Wildstar the best pve MMO on the market   	
----
			A warm welcome, if you are having fun, be sure to tell your friends!

You're probably going to never be able to play WoW again after this.
 
From what I've heard, after playing Wildstar, WoW feels like you're playing a slide-show. WoW is just so incredibly slow and sluggish and easy, that it feels like it's a turn-based game. Wildstar is on a whole other level in terms of attention and skill required to be successful.
 
So if you prefer to eat a sandwich with one hand and spam a macro with the other while standing still and rotating your DPS like in WoW, you might not like this game. If you prefer to actually be engaged in the game and have to pay attention and move around, you'll love Wildstar and you'll never touch that Warcraft garbage again.
 
 
Protip: Don't pick Exiles. They're full of weeaboo Aurin. :/

Welcome to Nexus!
 
I'm was also a long time WoW player, since BC. I quit just after the WoD patch for ... reasons.
 
As someone else ingame said to me ... take your time levelling, there is a beautiful, awesome and terrifying world to discover! As stated above, make sure (for now anyway) to choose a PvE server (Entity for NA) as the game's pop is rebuilding from something of a mass exodus somewhat coincidental with WoD's release.
 
Because of this, depending on your time zone/ when you play you may find it difficult to get PvP queues to pop while levelling. At 50 though, you should have no great troubles getting into a match.
 
Be prepared for something of a learning curve so far as combat is concerned. Once you get used to it though it is very rewarding and challenging. Here there isn't really tab targeting ... you actually aim at mobs, and they will in turn aim at you. The old adage 'don't stand in the fire' is the watchword here. Here the fire will kill you.
 
If character customization, housing or RP is/are your thing then pinch yourself! Yes! You have died and gone to heaven!!! Housing in particular is well designed, executed and received by the community. Feel free to visit my humble abode when you hit 14, and make sure to visit other public housing ... what some people create is nothing short of amazing!
 
Have a fun journey!

As others have said, turn on Hold to Continue Casting in the Combat options and /chjoin lfg or entitylfm if you're Exiles or Dominion, respectively.
 
Most of my characters are Dominion (immortal robots as PCs come on). I've been leveling an Exile though with the 10 day free trial and it's been good so far, so you'll enjoy no matter which one you pick. Exiles have always had more people from day one, probably bc everyone wants to be a browncoat! The Exile capital is also laid out better than the Dominion's.
 
As for reviews you'll want to stick to the more recent stuff. WildStar has come a very long way in terms of playability and just general quality of life and the reviews from 6 months ago won't reflect that.

Hi kate, its nice to see new nexians, so for you the same advice as all:
 
1. go to pve server entity on NA or jabbit on EU (the pvp servers lack population, you will find more fun with us on pve)
2. activate hold to cast in your combat menu, press escape>combat>input options> hold to cast
3. join the global channels, if you are on entity:
 
- exile side: /chjoin lfg
- dom side: /chjoin entitylfm
 
to talk write /1, ask anything there the community is very welcoming
 
4. people tend not to use the looking for group tool, they tend to do premades so you will get faster queues if you make a group the old way, spamming in zone chat and global channels
 
4. when questing the xp given are tied to the class of the quest, there are 5 classes world story: gives the most exp, a must do quest
Regional story: gives less than world story, do this ones too
Zone story: gives a good chunk of exp but less than regional
 
task: gives the minimal xp, dont overstay in a place doing them, just do the other 3 classes of quest and move to other hubspath quest: these dont give exp to level  but to increase your path, you can come do this ones when you are level capped or do it for the sweet perks of your path for leveling (btw if you are maxed in your path these kind of quest will give xp instead)5. Moments of opportunity are the best dps enhancer in the game, to make one interrupt a mob when he is casting something, his hp bar will turn purple abd you will do 150% of damage
 
6. there is a lot of exp enhancers to make leveling fast and smooth
 
 - 8% xp buff from guild
 - 8% xp from flask (you can buy it with renown if your guild has unlocked this perk)
 - 2% from authenticator
 - 5-10% from house (at lvl 15 you will get your own house, visit it once a day to get a buff for leveling, it can be 5% or 10% depending on the day)
 - when log off leave your char into your plot, it will get rested xp (you can get more rested xp if you decorate your plot)
 
7. dodge a lot
 
8. almost all in the UI is customizable, so you can move it to where you feel more comfortable
 
9 there are a tons of usefull addons, some use forgeUi for the interface, ill just use strikehardmeter for dps, latency meter for get a visual  of the ping and LFG Board for  getting groups (like the premade group finder on wow).
 
i think that cover the basic, good luck on nexus
