Still not seeing anything compelling to make me want to jump in as a new subscriber. I have no problem paying for game content, but honestly there isn't enough here to get me excited about playing. I have plenty of fun in a few f2p / freemium MMOs. Those should hold me over while waiting for GW2 and TSW.

Just jumped back in with a new f2p character. I was in beta and came back for a trial, but I haven't kept up on all the changes to PVP. What's the news on the territory control in PVP?

Since, like, forever ... duh.

Sorry, but this is a non-story. Setting a launch date this early has no significance outside of reassurance for the execs, shareholders, and investors at THQ. They care because it impacts financial forecasting, business planning, etc.

For us gamers, they can slip the launch, release early, or have it ready on time. It won't change the "it's done when we say it is" mindset. I suppose the interwebz would be a boring place without the rampant speculation, hype, and QQ attached to every major MMO launch. Don't worry there will plenty of other games to spawn forum PVP in the meantime.

Definitely a negative for WildStar. Just because I really want to see a cool Wheel of Time game, I hope that TIm Cain works on that.

All I see is ... MOAR BACONS!

@(Unverified) Thanks for the info. Good to hear they are working on the combat mechanics. It will definitely stay on my watch list.

Anyone playing on a PVP server? I've never played FW, but I am curious about the population and activity on a PVP server. I know that you have to wait until level 30 for open world PVP, but it would make the quest grind tolerable.

"If you're the sneaky, saboteur type, you can even steal schematics from other factions and turn the enemy's own tools against them."

I like this a lot. Makes safeguarding the schematics as important as the valuable materials. This introduces a very strategic element to PVP. Good stuff.

I personally like the idea of playing the iconic characters. There are many reasons I love those comics and the characters contained within them.

I'm hoping that they have action oriented combat and interactive / destructible environments. Faction based PVP also is a must. Although, many a hero and villain played both sides. I'm curious how that would be handled, if at all.
