Hi Fellow Nexuians,
So I thought I would leave my feedback on being a new player to Wildstar.
 
I herald from another MMO that after 7 years it was time to say goodbye too - so decided to see what else was out there, I tried the following:-
GW2 - enjoyed the questing but never felt connected to my character
Rift - similar to WOW - although did enjoy the random rifts
Archeage - liked the immersion, like growing your mount etc. but not for me long term
Secret World - quests were different, and who doesn't like chopping down zombies in your first zone, could not quite grasp the ability wheel though
SWTOR - probably the best story telling and familiar lore than any MMO - will keep an eye and play occasionally
 
Wildstar
what can I say I LOVE this game
graphics are amazing and the world feels alive, classes are unique and familiar all at the same time, I want to try them all :P
for the first time in a long time I actually 'lost' hours, paths are interesting, I'm a scientist and those goggles are great, the rented mount at low level is also a nice touch.
 
The world is not dead - I found plenty of people in the starting area and beyond and the main city was more than alive. We play on Jabbit EU, there are a few more playing it seems at this stage on exile than dominion. however, it did not take me long to find some random peeps to group up with - we have now played consistently over the last week. I read that grouping up was not too productive - but who cares this is FUN.
 
I play a hamster engineer tank (sorry Chua) we just pull as much as we can, I actually died! what this has not happened in a long time - we had to actually think, avoid those rares/elites to get to our objectives - good times! We have started now a couple of alts on exile as well.
 
I am not a hardcore player and may never see a raid - but the journey will be interesting :P
 
So if anyone is thinking of giving Wildstar a shot, go for it! However, you must leave the past MMOs behind, learn to adapt, change your play style and what you are used to doing (this can happen in time) Movement can be tricky (add on STEER) helped me loads.
 
Go make friends, do not rely on random finder tools, offer help, talk, group up, ask in zone if anyone wants to group for adventures - we are only level 19 so give us a shout if you want.
 
Anyway that's my 2 cents
 
Merry Christmas you all
 
ps. we do not have a guild so if anyone is recruiting a couple of casuals (mentally hardcore) then let us know.

Just a bit of advice that may help you with movement/combat. Go into your combat settings and tinker with the options a bit. You may see a few like hold to cast that cna make combat more comfortable. I found it helped with engineer play using hold to cast.

Just wait until you hit max level! There is so much to do other than raiding!

			Well, this is definitely the right way to enjoy playing currently and in most games to begin with.

			Welcome aboard! Glad to hear that you're enjoying as much as most of us that are still here  :D

			Welcome to Wildstar, fellow engineer! :D

			Welcome to Wildstar! ^_^
