First at all, I never touched Wildstar before the F2P release of it. I did buy the digital deluxe edition 3 days before to get the 12 character slots and the fancy mount. However, I never really checked the games status before the F2P release. Therefore I can only give feedback with the view as a new user.
 
1. I really enjoy the combat system. It is different to other MMO's and makes Wildstar as an MMO already special. At first I thought that changing from WoW or GW2 to Wildstar would be extremly hard due to the combat system, but I was wrong. In the first 2 hours I adapted to the new combat system and fell in love with it. When the servers went down for maintenance, I jumped onto Guild Wars 2 for a second and tried to double jump and was missing the telegraphs. I personally really enjoy having full control about my abilities and even being able to mess up abilities due to that.
 
2. The relaunch feels very populated. Surely enough this can change, but I had many interactions with other new players. I even met people giving me armor pieces they didn't need, helping out others in chat or looking for level partners for either harder quests or just for fun. 
 
3. Leveling seems too easy. Atleast as an esper. I almost never had any Problems pulling more than one group during a quest and bomb them to death. Even on quests that were supposed to be 1 or 2 levels ahead of me. It was easy to rush through most of the quests without even paying any attention at all. It might be supposed to be like this, since many if not almost all people think that the game just starts at level 50, I dislike it. This might differ from class to class. Can't really give feedback to other classes here. It can be fun pulling all the groups together and faceroll through there, but I personally take the slower careful option then the fast faceroll option.
 
4. Dungeons are amazing. It's literally the opposite of leveling. It is challanging. The Level 10 dungeon was a good introduction to PvE content, while the last boss was extremely hard. Our group wiped more than 5 times till we managed to kill the last boss in there, but the moment he fell, we felt good. We had a great blast! The Level 20 dungeon had superb feel to it. It didn't seem to be as challanging as the first one, but we still had to focus on mechanics. We forgot to Interrupt at the last boss and we almost wiped at the last percentages. Again, the combat system + the well designed dungeons gave us a blast. I will try the 25 dungeon today and I can't wait. (writing this feedback at work right now, got my typical 30 min. break)
 
5. Unfortunatly, the re-release didn't wen't so smooth so far. I personally had almost no problems getting into the game so far. As soon as EU began to character-loop, I waited for about 20 mins and managed to login right afterwards. Server maintenance is indeed annoying, but stuff like this usually happens. I would guess that Carbine did not expect such a high interest in F2P. Also I wan't to thank all of you guys for working so hard lately. Just by looking on Twitter I can easily see that you guys are doing your best. Though, you should maybe include a Twitter ticker onto your login screen or any other kind of status update. Not everyone uses twitter here and receiving current status is very important right now to keep your player base.
 
6. I love Mounts in MMO's. Unfortunatly, I wasn't really impressed by the amount of avaliable Mounts right now. This is not high priority right now though! Everyone loves more customization and the HOLO-Garderobe is a great addition for now. I would love to see rare dungeon/raid mounts, race mounts (avaliable for any race, maybe requirements like reputation), maybe even profession mounts. I saw that the amount of pets is insanely high, I love those little things, but please don't miss the opportunity for more mounts. Indeed, the mount customization is a pretty neat thing.
 
7. Daily login Bonus. Damn, this thing is annoying. I know that ist currently a bug, and no worries, no one is going to really be upset about this. But I doubt that any of you devs is able to sit down for 10 minutes and fix this little thing.
 
8. More interaction with the community. The stream yesterday was a good thing, but reddit is a pretty hot place right now. I know, I know, it is full of negative comments but I don't think that a dev. tracker and twitter is enough. Keep us up to date on stuff you guys are working on. I know that you guys are watching reddit at the moment, but don't get scared about posting there. You can also find some feedback and suggestions there, even just a little response that you appreciate the suggestion and think about working on it, or even completely disaggreing would help. Let us know that you do care. Most games are more relevant on reddit than their forums these days. We need daily communicaton, not just weekly. A weekly recap is good and all but not enough.
 
9. I heard that due to the current connection problems, players will get some kind of gift. I don't know if its official or not, but If so, make this public. Write it onto your login screen, so atleast people that did buy a subscription won't feel too bad about this game going F2P.
 
In conclusion I would really thank you guys for releasing this game and going F2P. I wouldn't otherwise get in touch with this game. I really enjoy it so far and I would love to keep playing. You guys do deserve your breaks, but there is some stuff to improve. Don't take every negative comment too serious, but atleast show us that you do care. Even about the ones that are disappointed.
 
I wish you guys all the best in the following years with this MMO!
