A hoi hoi,
 
as the title says im a returning player. I pretty much left winter last year. After the megaserver, things really fell apart with my guild and there was simply no one to play with at that point.
 
So i thought, id give Nexus another try with the f2p update, everyone was so passionate discussing back then.
At first i was completly overwhelmed with all the changes that happend and lost with the item changes (42 mails with stuff i dont have a clue about and no single mail with explanation).
It might sound silly, but that alone made me almost leave again, cause its been just too much of confusion. Took me 2 hours to sort my mail and check out whats exactly behind those changes. A simple ingame mail from carbine, with an explanation of what changed for returning players could have easily solved this. Nearly everyone i talked to was completly clueless about these things when they joined again.
 
After getting settled and realizing i lost valuable gear, recipes that got kicked out (I still dont really get why the special gear sets got kicked) and runesets, i was motivated to get back into it.
 
So far i managed to get almost back to the level my char had before, efficiency wise, and i am having a blast with the game again.
I dont really see, how the runesystem got simplyfied yet tho, it actually seems more confusing, Also super sad about dumping down the crafting system. I had farmed so many rare recipes for my outfitter, which are all gone now and i dont find any reason in it.
 
Server Issues. Yes, ofc there are issues expected at a "relaunch". BUT, the way its happening for the last week it really leaves a bad taste again, considering CRB issues at the last year. You only lag out when a mob, that offers loot, gets killed. You can be on at primetime, fighting 20 mobs without a single lag, but whenever the first mob dies 10-20 second freeze. Thats not a usual server overload lag, thats something else cupcaked up big time.
 
As is said, im having a blast so far, as long as i can play that is. Its just as a returning player having witnessed all those broken promises and letdowns last year i am pretty concerned about CRB really have the skills and manpower to get it right this time. If they cancel the seasonal events again...
 
TL;DR
If you liked Wildstar before, you will certainly do now. Seeing a ton of players at the main cities and even more at the starting areas is a joy in itself ;)

			Yeah with all the changes with itemization I just decided to take a break from my mains and level up new characters. So much stuff to go through

			I got really confused, too! I'm also sad that I have certain costume items I can't unlock because they don't exist anymore. I can't unequip them, either... seems like the only thing to do is to choose something else for that slot. But I can still wear the costume... I just can't edit the costume at all without getting an error. They were my two favorite hats, too. :( My characters were also naked sans-costume, and I got a lot of random ~ level 40 items in the mail (on level 50 characters.) Wut? Why? Currently just leveling alts to understand the new things.
