The second half of an interview with a 'Friends & Family' WildStar tester has been posted on the official site. Questions were submitted by fans of the upcoming game from Carbine Studios a month or so ago. Topics this time include whether or not the player 'rushed' through the game and what he/she feels sets WildStar apart from other MMOs.

What separates WildStar from other MMO offerings? Mechanics? Content? Overall gameplay?

WildStar has broken the mold on race/class stat stove-piping. What I mean is that every Warrior will not necessarily be hunting the same piece of gear, it depends on the abilities you want to use, what role you want to fill and how you have allocated your stat points.

Almost every ability available to your class will have two stats that affect it. So the more points you have in that stat, the more effective that particular ability is when used and thus the more you want on your gear.

I am really looking forward to WildStar, but... don't these tester responses sound a little too good? I mean I can't imagine the game is really that amazing in a alpha build. I'm having difficulty trusting the legitimacy of these answers.

 

That's kind of a no brainer.  This "tester" belongs to a small group of people close to the dev team, given special permission to answer loaded and leading questions in order to create hype.

Welcome to the mmo's of 2003.

This is just more marketing.

I assure you those answers were very carefully chosen and approved.

Lots of words but very little real information.

I'll say one thing, they must have a really good marketing dept.

I hope the games they make are as good.

Yes, the throwback to the bygone era that once the community gets a hold of it will be meaningless.
