Hi guys, and how are you all?
 
Just a few points I wanted to make to the Wildstar community about why I as a die hard MMO player is going to keep on keeping on with Wildstar.
 
#1. The combat system!
Nothing in the MMO Market comes close to the enjoyment you get out of killing foe's in Epic fashion. 
This applies to all Race/Classes in Wildstar.
 
#2. The Difficulty in Dungeons:
No other MMO can match the learning curve you have to go through in Wildstar. It may not be that hard for people that have been playing MMO's for years, but for the average player it's pretty tough.  And yes it gets easier once you know the fights.
 
#3 The talent and amp system!
How cool is it to change your talents or amps on the fly??  One of the best features in this game imo.
 
#4 The PVP!
From Rated to Arenas and also Low level PVP games.  It has it all!!  Class balance may still be an issue, but yeah this is a new game and I am willing to wait for them to iron all the bugs out.
 
#5 The Crafting!!!
This is what I love the most!!..Make your own armor or making some for someone in your guild is always fun. Need some extra cash?  Well then put some of your crafted items on the AH!
 
#6 The Auction house and Your very own house!
Want to make some cash?  Throw some of your crafted items up on the AH and watch your money grow!
How cool is it to have people come visit that awesome new house you built?  Pretty cool, pretty cool.
 
Yes there are some bugs in game but I always keep in mind that this is a new game and it will get fix some time or another.
 
Please feel free to post below on why you are going to keep playing THIS SUPER AWESOME GAME WILDSTAR!

HI, 1&2 for me, also
 
#7 art direction
 
#8 I get to be a space rat with guns
 
#9 housing

Because... the game is... F2P ftw!  (Thanks to CREDD at least...)
 
#CREDDftw! :D

You may wish to delve a little deeper into the balance and functionality of PVP.  It's pretty damn broken right now.  Maybe...MAYBE they'll fix it in the future, but that's a ways off.  Potentially a LONG way off.
----
			
I'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future, as I really enjoy the combat, housing, art/animation, music, and crafting elements. I'm a fairly casual player and these elements can keep me occupied for a long time.
 
The PvP system needs a serious enema though. I usually spend a fair amount of time PvPing at end game (since I don't raid), but I find I don't want to in Wildstar, and it's not down to the battleground designs or combat-- it's down to the way PvP works on the... bureacratic end, so to speak. The queuing system, the rating system, the gear... it all needs a whole lot of streamlining.

To be fair, that all needs some work on the PVE end as well.  It's not entirely unexpected; that's the stuff you really can't figure out all the way in beta or on the PTR.  One of the ongoing future challenges is going to be organizing the chaos a bit better to handle real-life situations, like hopefully getting timers off the medals so people can take care of their kids if they suddenly throw up during a PUG, or so that people aren't losing rating if the server coughs and people get kicked off a BG.
 
Probably a better problem to have than if dungeon and PVP combat sucked in and of themselves.  The "bureaucratic" stuff is salvageable (and one of those things we just need to get into the details of how we would like it fixed).  I'd prefer that to suck on launch than the actual gameplay.  Give people a reason to want to engage in that gameplay and minimize their headaches, and I think Carbine's okay.  That seems fixable in the near future if we focus on telling Carbine that's what we want on top of their list of priorities.
 
But yeah, the gameplay itself, once you're not worrying about logistics or weighing costs and benefits, is a good reason I'll keep playing.

			Pathetic that this thread will be kept open but the moment someone announces they've cancelled, the overmoderators lock it down.

			I love wildstar.. not sure some people want to quit. Every week the game improves greatly and it's not like it costs money for a sub (thanks CREDD)

lol, it's sad when someone tries to get a catchprase to take off. It's like driving past that lonely doughnut shop that nobody ever stops at because it's in a horrible spot, and you see the sad guy behind the counter, just baking doughnuts.
 
Man, I want a doughnut.

I'm going to keep playing because I have a lovely group of friends who are as casual as I am. We'll never do big raids. We'll level slowly and struggle (happily) with the instances at our own pace. We all love the combat and we have a lot of fun figuring out the tougher challenges. We're still just in our level 30s.
 
My second reason to stick with it is the housing, which I still find quite lovely. The third reason is... I love my character so much.
 
I love watching my Chua run, I love watching my Chua dance. I love watching the manic expression on the fuzzy little face when I do the most everyday things, like riding the hoverboard or chopping down trees. I'd really miss those sweet, big eyes if I'd left the game behind.
 
Is anyone else so attached to their character that they'd feel traitorous, leaving the character in limbo to move to another game?

Vic did you really say Thottbot... you haven't played le old wow in awhile have you :P
 
On topic I will be sticking around for sure..While there are definitely some issues with the game I'm not at the point
where it's bothering me. I have limited time during the week and can maybe play for 15 hours or so over the weekend.
I do my dailies, try and get an adventure or 2 in and level alts and troll the forums.. 
 
People seem to get so mad when someone else enjoys something they don't. So mad.	
----
			I do really enjoy Wildstar, and play to continue playing, but only through CREDD and casually. At least until they really establish their game and update it; and fix all the issues.

just want to say that i consciously chose to level slowly, keeping all my alts in a level range while i max out their respective crafting.
 
To live is to learn, and every time i see a "burnt out" thread, or a "this needs fixing" thread, i chuckle a little at everyone that raced to cap with the expectation of being handed a perfect MMO experience..... it is even more hilarious if they spout off about "all the other MMO's they've played" ... living is experience, and my experience told me to pace myself at this launch :D
 
 
hmm i really sound like that much of a douche?  erk
 
oh well, but it is true and i do like the combat and the journey so far, and i get to come to the forums and watch the fireworks... another lesson from other games: grain of salt on EVERY THING SAID, because that's just how the internetwebz works =/

PvP balance... it won't happen, ever. forget it. it's an utopia.
 
Every game, SWToR, rift, even Wow... every single game have complaints about balance issue. they all have FOTM issues. even MOBA like LoL or Dota, even RTS game like starcraft have imbalance issues.
 
PvP balance WILL NOT HAPPEN EVER. 
 
THERE WILL ALWAY BE PEOPLE UNHAPPY WITH IT
 
If anyone tell you X game at Y time was balance, it's either because:
 
1- they are lying
2- they have no idea what they are talking about
3- their class happened to be the FOTM at that time ( add no.1 to it).

Chua keep playing game too.
Why, human ask? Simple, game is bringing fun. Reason enough for Chua to play.
 
Bugs and issues? Yes, Chua aware. Chua however not care, and just report them.
When fixed, better. When not, Chua find way around and keep having fun.

Thanks for commenting back and adding more to this thread.
It's nice to see more people  that love this game as much as I do.  :)

Kudos on a good, valid, positive post.  I agree in all respects.  One thing you said triggered a thought in my brain though, and now I can't unthink it.

Someone likes the amp/ability point system?
 
I think it is beyond dumb we don't hit 50 with max ability points/amps and are forced to do an insane elder gem grind/random world russian roulette.

I'm still playing because this has been my "home" since early Beta (I actually think 2nd half of beta 1) ...I have alt-itis and places to go/see still. I'm just now trying the warrior and engineer classes.  My Chua gets to ride around in a HAMSTER BALL if I can afford it!  My Mordesh looks like Victor Frieze! My Mechari are people you don't want coming out of a dark alley for you. 
 
I am still seeing a living, breathing world with lore and vistas to explore..long live the Explore and Scientists Paths even if the perks could use work. 
 
I'm here because I want to be :)

Prioritize your build better.  Those extra points are...wait for it...wait for it...extra.  If you are relying on them just to have a competent build, then you're doing something wrong.

			 = free

{| class="blockquote"
You can stop attempting to be a snide asshat, and actually learn that those ability points actually do change some classes COMPLETELY when they get them.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That argument only has merit if those classes are completely useless without the extra points.  If that's the case, then we have clear cookie-cutter build problems and the problem is with the class, not the extra points.
 
Many people like having something to work towards, myself included.  I loved the AA system in EverQuest for the same reason.
----
			
I enjoy leveling too.  And doing full quest lines, going for 100% completion and all that.
 
Ooooo, us damned filthy casuals and our actually enjoying playing at any moment prior to reaching 100% character optimization.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Many people? I doubt there are MANY people like you that enjoy the grind for extra amp/ability points.

The funny thing about this is I had no clue what WildStar was or anything about it till after it was released, and a friend of mine gave me a 7 day pass.
So I went in with super low expectations and this game just blew me away.
I will be sub'd for a year after my free month is up.(my free month is up on Aug 12th)
 
Yes I love this game that much  :)
I would sub for 2 years if it would let me.  All to support Carbine and to help keep this great game going.
Fanboy? I wasn't but now yes I am.  Hands down the best game I've played in 7-8 years.

			I will keep playing as long as I am having fun.  For me, if I am not having fun, it usually has more to do with my "burn out" on MMORPGs in general.  That said, WS will be in my rotation for the foreseeable future. ;)
