Wildstar [Poll] What Race Will You Play?

Time to kick some Dominion ass.​

​

Well, since we've finally decided on a faction, I'm interested to see how our race choices will be distributed! Title says it all, what Race will you be playing (at least for your main!). I know it's a bit early and a lot of people are still pretty torn (myself included) but I think we can still get an idea of how things will look come release day!

So what will it be?

​

I am personally torn between Aurin and Mordesh. I do enjoy being the smallest possible race in games most of the time, no reason for that really. A large part of the allure for the Mordesh, however, is their rich lore, as well as the option to have CYBERPUNK ELECTROTUBE DREADS as I was telling dainjre earlier today. Presently I'm leaning toward Mordesh, but come release day I may make a brash decision. We'll see! The final class reveals may sway me further.

 

I plan on making the fattest mordesh possible. Like, real fat.

 

GusGus?

 

Yes. GusGus fat.

 

Haha, well I meant it to be your main. I considered mutliple options but, meh.

 

I want to roll Mordesh, but that will change if they don't have the class I want. It may also change if the majority of the guild goes Mordesh.

 

All Mordesh guild? Space zombie horde ftw?

 

Hilarious. 6 Mordesh, 1 Granok, and 1 Aurin. Still honeymooning much?

 

Unfortunately for me, Granok is the only race I like. Three cheers for 3 classes!

 

Well if they get <REDACTED> you'll be able to anything you want at least?

 

I would imagine that each race will get at least one tank and one heal role. Some races might get a doubletank like the Mordesh with Stalker and Warrior, and some will get doubleheals, like the Aurin with Esper and Spellslinger.

I think what will happen is this: You'll have one race who can access any class - The Human Exiles, in our case. You'll then have two races that can take probably four classes - the Aurin and the Mordesh, I think. And finally, one race that has access to three classes.

And they will have mirrors on the other side: I don't think the Drakken will get either of the unreleased classes based on leaked thematic information, but the Grannok will.

The Mechari will get both the unreleased classes, while the Mordesh will get just one (since they already have three). Again for thematic reasons.

The Chua will get both of the unreleased classes as the themes probably fit them, while the Aurin will get one (and probably the one the Mordesh don't get).

They've made concerted efforts that the races all have a mirror, I think it will continue on into the class /race matchups.

 

I am still not 100% sure on this one.
More specifically I was going to be Aurin 100%, until they released the Mordesh... now all plans have gone to shambles!
Only a last minute decision willl determine the race, probably during character creation!

 

Great now I have to play a Granok... too many mordesh around here

 

I saw some leaked stuff a while back, and have been pretty firmly in the Mordesh camp ever since. I just couldn't talk about it.

So I guess that makes me a hipster Mordesh?

 

Still unsure, voted Mordesh though. Mordesh / Human if I go Stalker, Granok if I go Warrior. Leaning heavily toward Mordesh Stalker though

 

Mordesh seem to be very popular right now. I usually play human my first character, but the Mordesh just look so badass.

 

For me its more about how the classes play. I need to find the class I like then I will chose the race that fits it best for me. Until we can play all the classes I can't pick a race.

As far as everyone picking one race and not wanting to bandwagon... Screw that. if I happen to like the ones everyone else likes then good for us all. I played blood elf for a while as an alt even though there was so much bandwagoning and hate. Honey badger don't give a fuck.

 

Well this very well could be the honeymoon phase but if it is any indication of how our ranks will be composed I may reconsider Mordesh haha.
