Casuals Rejoice, Wildstar is finally Back on track!

ryanmahaffe

Hello all, I am here to tell you all that Wildstars casual content is soon to be in it's strongest form, with Drop 3, they gave casuals a lot more to do, an entire questing zone, an EPIC 20 man event, some amazing 5 man open world content, and Omnicore-1 the best solo instance ever, but even that wasn't that much, Drop 4 is where the heat of it all is at, They will be introducing

Quable and Veteren shiphands, 1-3 player content that isn't to hard, but still difficult and requires some effort, and are just awesome as hell

Random rewards in bags for doing things like Dungeons, Bgs, Shiphands, ect

Attunement was nerfed and made SUPER easy a while back.

the new training dungeon: Ultimate Protogames.

A new currency rewarded from doing Dungeon objectives

and many more QoL changes

 

While this may still not be a better choice than WoW, Wildstar is finally starting to shape up to be a fair alternative for you burnt out wow fans.

What do you mean massively single player, Battlegrounds arent single player, Dungeons are 5 man, same with Adventures, Veteran shiphands are primarily for 3 people, all the main changes are just to small group content, there is still amazing raids, (40 man going down to 20) and 20 man events

 

Also, Wildstar is super easy? Yeah no it't not, after testing veteran Shiphands I can say they are a little easier but still difficult, just learnable.

Why bother, the combat still sucks.

Yep, that's why I said it.

Hmmm, i think i got a 7 day return to Wildstar code somwhere. I might go back and give it another shot. I was actually intrigued by this game.

If you can't find your key, try to write a ticket to the support - they are usually not shy to hand out a key or two. In any other case, leave me a PN and i gladly help you out with one (EU).

While i m currently playing WoD, combat is what makes me keeping my sub in WS active. I hope Drop 4 will be as good as many who playing in the PTR claim to be. Time will tell

TheOctagon

The problem is they've already taken a faceplant and players are leary of subbing and getting another one.

This might be worth trying in about a year once the game becomes fun and all the bugs have been worked out. Wish there was a free trial.

Who cares?  Do you honestly think they are going to get any casuals to pay for this game now? After a terrible release.

The game was gear toward hardcore raiders. Once they realized this was a terrible idea, they are now going after casuals? Too late.

This game might need to go back to the drawing board like FFXIV:ARR. Wildstar: A Game Reborn.

Or Wildstar:  Now Free to Play.

Play our multiplayer game because it has great solo content?

When games like Dark Souls, Witcher, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim have really good solo content - and half decent co-op play as well in some cases. And the older ones you haven't played can be picked up from e.g. Humble Bundle store for around the price of a monthly sub - allowing you to play forever!

Let me think about that. Nah .....

As long as a solid themepark like WOW exists i can't think of one good reason to play a shoddy and mediocre game like WS.

it is very solid in being outdated and old both graphically and gameplay-wise, they gave me 10 days of free WoD and they want 45 eur for an expansion + sub (you can get it for aroudn 30 eur from other resellers) for a 10 year old game, which feels clunky and unresponsive after wildstar, not mentioning graphically outdated in comparison.  So I passed. For 10 eur or just the sub fee - maybe I would buy it, not sure...

But I will be honest, there are two things better in WoW: 

1. Zones are more.. deep? Not sure how to describe this, but I just feel some nostalgia or a warm feeling towards the Warcraft setting (played all the Warcraft games since I was a kid)

2. Optimization for AMD, WoW runs on ultra with max fps while wildstar lags a lot on ultra (i dont bother setting lower settings, because it changes nothing due to lack of optimization)

I agree, we have heard this before and seen this way too often to be fooled.  If its true the proof will be there, but I am also not holding my breath and I have moved on to better games which I am enjoying much more than WS.

If I have to explain this to you, than that says volumes about your credibility here.

Glad to hear this!  Having fun in WoW and definitely looking at EVE again, but WS has been on my mind since I left.  That game's combat was really great and if they strengthen a lot of the other aspects, I'd love to play again.

I get such a chuckle when people say Wildstar has superior graphics to WoW.  Also the combat in this game is pretty much a AOE spam fest, there is hardly any strategy to your skill choices other than trying to dodge the big ass red circles on the ground.

I'm not trying to defend WoW here but most will agree that WoW combat is probably has the most fluid combat of any MMO out there.

I'll agree that WoW has some of the best combat out there. However, I think you kinda trivialize the use of the telegraphing system. This has actually been the case since they introduced the telegraphing system. People would say it's super easy because all you have to do is dodge. My argument has always been, and continues to be, that you can do a whole lot more with a telegraphing system, as far as scaling the difficulty, than with WoWs system. WoW calls it the "Dance" but it's essentially the same telegraphic system with fewer visual queues. With a telegraphing system, you can make each raid encounter, for instance, completely unscripted, so each time you fight that boss it'll be different than the last. In my opinion, that's actually a superior system, in theory. I have no idea how it's actually implemented. I played W* in beta, but not beyond that. I've heard it's quite difficult, but couldn't compare it to WoW in it's current state. What I can say is that WoW end game boss fights cannot offer the same random nature as you COULD accomplish with a telegraph system, like with W*.
