WildStar seeks to differ itself from other MMOs by having a whole host of innovative features, of which follow three general rules: Play How You Want, the Elder Game, and Have Fun.
The first is best exemplified by the Path system, a game mechanic that gives you missions and rewards based on four player archetypes:
* The Soldier, for the mass-murderer in you;
* The Explorer, for those of you who find themselves constantly DistractedByTheShiny on the horizon, and up that mountain;
* The Scientist, for all your HundredPercentCompletion and lore addictions, and
* The Settler, for those of you who want to build cities then hang out with your friends

Combat is also unique in that almost every attack and skill is manually aimed, allowing truly skilled players the chance of multiple kills and truly awe-inspiring combat. With the aid of Combat Telegraphs (red highlighted areas for things to avoid; blue for things you want to be in), an active-dodging system, and "Momentum Mechanics" which gives stat bonuses for skilled fighting, Carbine aims for every battle, even the low-level fights, to be a real test of your reaction skills, quick thinking, and on-the-fly group coordination.
In line with the "Play How You Want" philosophy, players have a limited skill-set with a vast array of interchangeable abilities of various effects, and "Milestones" for reaching certain levels of stats giving unique bonuses, ensuring that battle is always interesting and that there is no one "Right" way to play X.
