    Has anyone looked into this game at all? Several of my friends feel that it is very promising, if you can get past the very "cartoony" characters. Figured I'd mention it since I had not heard of it until last night.

    I've been participating in the Beta (there's one this weekend, started this morning) and have been having a great time. As it is Beta, there are some bugs but that is to be expected. Mainly, I'm looking at the story, mechanics, and aesthetics.

    Story thus far is about an 8. I feel it is highly engaging and has held my interest.

    Mechanics is about an 8. The telegraph system is different, but I am beginning to like it. The biggest reason for the "like" is that it keeps combat fluid. It is mobile combat, where standing in place and just spamming your abilities will get you killed. The directional 'tap' for dodging is similar to STO's ground, which I have always liked... and now miss greatly when in other MMOs (FFXIV or SWTOR).

    Customization of your abilities is a big part of the mechanics, as any MMO should have for players. It allows great flexibility and customization. I'm not focusing on the abilities too much as they can always change before release. Yet, the animations/moves are really modern and fun to see.

    Player housing is fun and a big bonus you get it relatively early. It's not just an MMO SIMs deal where you just place items and that's it. There is a functionality to it via a daily bonus (for dungeons, questing, pvp, etc) by a buff you initiate. There's a garden feature if you are into cooking and need ingredients. There's a daily challenge you can do (movement puzzle) for rewards.

    Aesthetics is extremely important to me and Wildstar is visually pleasing. It is cartoony, but it is modern (i.e. very smooth polys/skins). I've always been into anime and CG stuff, so cartoony is fine. Actually, I'm not big on the ESO realistic look and prefer cartoony (Wildstar, FFXIV, SWTOR, STO, etc).

    Besides at, the races are pretty varied and neat. The Chua are by far the most amusing and entertaining race. Sociopath Crazy marsupial-like furry race. Pure fun.

    I've been playing on Alizar realm. If anyone is interested in grouping up, hit up "Naoko".

    I'll be checking this out at least for the first few months. I really like the art style and found the beta to be engaging enough to get me to preorder, so I'm looking forward to it!
