Wildstar VS ESO

So my friends were asking me last night what makes Wildstar better than ESO.

I hesitated, thought to myself. It took me some time to come up with this, but once that time passed I responded with,

"Not everyone in the game is wearing cloth rocking a resto staff to be viable dps."

    I play Wildstar on one screen while looking for a group in ESO on the other screen.
    But after about 2hrs of looking for a group in Craglorn, I log ESO out and just keep playing Wildstar.

    The only thing that makes Wildstar better than ESO is that you get to play cutesy anime girls with cat or rabbit ears, wielding guns and sporting skimpy outfits...oh wait...

    Putting jokes aside, there is really no better way to answer that question, because they are two totally different genres, and people have their own taste on what to play.

    For me personally, I'd like to believe I have outgrown the desire to play with cartoony characters, and therefore prefer a little more "realism". But that's just my opinion.

    I don't know if I would say that wildstar is any better than ESO. It's got it's own set of problems (although I will say the group play is waaaay better in wildstar).

    You responded honestly... But seriously, this game has potential, but i honestly do not think zenimax is up for the challenge, and yes wildstar is better because not everyone wields the same exact set up.

    Some form of resto staff. Other than the graphics it is the same game, dodge mechanics, etc.

    1. Its a cartoon
    2. Its a fugly cartoon
    3. Running animations look like your character is skipping
    4. it looks like something that I should have pedobear playing in the background while I play.
    5. Did I mention it looks like a childish cartoon?

    Screw wildstar. The only thing I'm thankful for is it drawing the bots and spammers away from eso.

    btw this thread is going to be locked I think

    Here's the difference: ESO is a synonym of life. Wildstar I haven't heard of so I wouldn't know and probably don't have the right to say anything towards this.

    Oh and you need a tank for all group game play more or less. Not just someone taunting weapon swapping back to resto staff in light gear.

    Yet if you go read through the Wildstar forums, that game is horrible and will F2P in just a few weeks. X is too hard, Y is too easy, yadda yadda yadda. Doesn't matter what you do, or how well/or bad you do it, there will be haters and there will be people who love it.

    ESO does apparently need some tank love, but I wouldn't go so far as to just say it this way. Wildstar is a WoW clone in the fullest, at least with everything other than action bars.

    Look at that. Seriously. Look at it.

    Stuff like that is an instant "do not buy" for me

    I beta tested WildStar for 2-3 months early last year.

    I got bored a lot quicker in WildStar than I have with ESO.

    I guess for me, I just prefer the more FPS feel of ESO over the point-and-click MMOs.

    It must be strange in this alternate dimension you've been playing ESO in.

    See, in our world, people are playing with all kinds of viable builds. It's only on the forums and in some select (and selectively dumb) Craglorn groups where you'll find the inexplicable "Staves or get out," crowd.

    I wouldn't even check it out free 2 play. NOPE all MMO's from now on must have TESO's combat or it is immediately boring.

    lol. Although if you ever watched the cartoon, jigglypuff always thought she was one bad A mofo. Which i guess makes it an even more appropriate analogy for wildstar

    Don'tr care about Wildstar, or any other game.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
    Wizard's first rule
    Passion rules reason
    Wizard's third rule
    Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.
    Wizard's fifth rule
    Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self
    Wizard's tenth rule
