The first three days
[We'll be reviewingWildStarover an extended period of time. For more details, check outour newReviews in Progress program.]
The time has finally come for WildStarto back up all that hype. For years Carbine Studios has said that they will cater to all of the jaded MMO fans out there, as well as the most hardcore of players seeking a challenge and that's quite a tall order.
While they haven't quite succeeded with all their claims in the early stages of the game, there's still plenty of time to go on my journey to level 50, and I'm still having a good deal of fun getting there.

As a frame of reference, my character is currently a level 13 Dominion Mechari Warrior. Exile is the faction, Mechari is the race, and Warrior is the class with the power to tank or deal out damage (DPS). Yep, you read that right, WildStaris an old-school MMO in that it adheres to the holy trinity of tanking, damage, and healing, for better or worse.
It's not thatstrict though in terms of locking classes into singular jobs, as every class in the game can perform two of the trinity's roles with various specs (ability choices). So instead of being stuck at max level with just one role for months on end, you'll have the choice to switch between multiple jobs for Warrior, I can either tank or DPS, the latter of which I'm going to use to level to 50 POE currency buy.
