WildStar is back! Well, it didn’t really go anywhere to begin with, but to say that Carbine’s freshman game was an underappreciated title would be an understatement. WildStar has always been a bit of an underdog, and today marks the relaunch of the MMO as a Free to Play game. And at least so far, the relaunch seems to be working from a hype perspective, because those megaservers have definitely been feeling the pressure. Read on for more of our Day One thoughts on a Free to Play Nexus.

    I manged to get in, made a stalker, got to 14 almost 15, realized that nothing has changed and the game still has an extremely stagnant leveling system, logged off. When does this game become fun?

    Have to admit, it was pretty smart to (re)launch on a week night. They'll get some big login numbers, but not nearly what they might get on a Friday - Sunday. This gives them enough of a jump to see network and server issues, as well as having their folks there during the work week to actually fix them. I can't count the number of times a game as received a major patch or go-live on a Friday only to see problems that persist all weekend due to minimal staff on-hand. More companies should launch/patch/relaunch during the week, imo.

    now they are back to the old issue of queues or lines, showed I had a 20 min wait for my server and didnt even allow me to queue. Just allowed me to try another server. I am guessing they will re-implement queues again.

    Let me get this straight. You stayed up pretty late in order to log on at midnight And get a character to 15. Your already up complaining about how its not fun. Wildstar isn't the problem it's YOU. Try getting a decent amount of sleep cause your cranky.

    Well,I believe the story of the game starts to become interesting sometime into Wilderrun.
    And it becomes more and more engaging as you proceed to the higher level zones.
    And then,all the starter zone quests seem to make a bit more sense,in the sense (oooOooo)
    that this is a new world,a new game,you get to know some general and fluffy stuff before  you delve deeper into the lore.
    And,uber kills.
    And huge level up screens.
    And hoverboards.
    And reasons.
    The game is fun.
    When you are able to play it,that is.


    P.S can you please make it so that the text formatting is the same when we type
    and after we post?

    Thought I'd give it a try, even though I detest the actual combat of the game, but I can't get back on. I really wish they had gone the traditional tab-target and hotbar style with this IP.

    I'm in the same boat. I detest the combat in this game. Going to give it another try however.

    the thing i dislike the most, is the limited number of abilities, 5 +1 ulti, (yes i know you can change between combat) but most of my friends dont seem to mind, so maybe its just me :)

    I'm still awake, was working on an Axton challenge run on BL2 during the downtime. Currently listening to hundred of people struggle with Guild Wars 2 download speeds, over the login BGM for Wildstar, after all I didn't say that I had given up on it just yet. Overall though, Wildstar makes me yearn for Warhammer, PQ's were so many times better at aggregating population.

    Despite the overwhelming population crush, I only ran into one other player whilst leveling, he invited me to a party for about 5 minutes for a quest, no words other than "thanks" were exchanged.

    Hopefully I can stomach this combat for however many levels are left till level cap.

    It always amazes me the number of people who complain about launch issues as if it's not something that happens at every mmo launch. Then those same people complain about them doing maintenance for hotfixes. I'm sure carbine took the servers down all day yesterday for the fun of it and not for preparing to the best of their capabilities. After all, why would they want the game to succeed?!

    My favorite game. I'm not even mad that as a 9 month subscriber they are making me wait to get into Entity. It's nice to see the game have #successfulgameproblems. I'll mosey on over to Warhound and level some alts :)

    MMO players have Alzheimer's. They seem to forget the lessons taught of previous MMOs the moment a new game comes along.

    boy...the number of free to play trolls that flood this site when a game goes free to play...half of you guys were bashing the game way before it went from to play. Someone disses the boring stale leveling system this game has and now everyone is a white knight on this site because its free. They should ban people on this site for flip flopping but then there would be no one to post....
