It sucks that we were just figuring out the comp/starting to play well together when the weekend ended. Game would have been 100x better if we had queued from the start - and I was already loving it. The amount of things you can pull off when not having to run away for half the game is incredible, and the constant, engaging combat makes every second a blast. I thought I had the game pretty much figured out from the previous beta weekend, but by the end of this one I had learned so much more and went from ~top 3 to number 1 in pretty much every dps category every game.
Really looking forward to arenas now as well. We (Warrior/Esper heals) 2v3'd and 2v4'd multiple times and went entire games in combat without dying. From sprinting for a split second in combat to catch up to an enemy (but not get dazed), to pre-rolling your opponent's roll so you can have maximum uptime, to knowing when to gtfo and run, the game has so many small skill testers that there's always something you could be improving/could have done better. While we are low level with only a few abilities (Warrior only has 2 attacks, the other 4 being utility skills so there's a lot of "1" mashing) the importance of your movement really makes it so you're never feeling bored (even at the lowest of levels).
Those of you that know me know that I am the first person to say something is terrible/get bored/move on, but this game has my full attention and I can't wait for release. I strongly suggest to any of you that haven't looked into this game to do some research/watch some vids and get into the next beta weekend. I'll see you there.

Aha heck yeah. After I logged I couldn't help it, I took myself out of bed an hour later and played some more. There wasn't a game I didn't top healing in and once you get the hand of the class you're playing it is very fun. The combat system is unique in its own way. The dashing is just right. We had times where we 2vX'd tons. There is so much to do than just raw healing, providing ccs, support damage etc., and I still don't even have my core talents (need mana regen stuff) Nevertheless it's very engaging and I'm looking for to the release. I feel like in this game, unlike TOR or FF, it has a lot of intricacies that will separate the subpar from the top tier - which is awesome and unlike WoW, it's not standard fantasy so overall it feels fresh and exactly what I want personally.
Guys I really suggest you get into the next Beta.
Wildstar is a 100% confirmed on my end.
