116666-we-need-more-rewards-for-differnt-content

== Content ==
			
Hey guys,
 
why do you play content in a game? For Fun? Sure. But there is on more thing: Rewards! Focus: Equipment! Dailies, dungeons, raids, adventures and more. We play all this content to make our character stronger and we repeat it indefinitely. The reason why work: Repeatable content!
But away from the equipment many games offer more collectibles to encourage players to play content: pets, mounts, costumes … ! Things you can pose with in a group of other players. Attract attention! I miss this in WildStar almost completely. There are almost no things that players are encouraged to play content.VIP- and Ability points were a good beginning but it needs to be much more. The achviement system of WildStar is filled with various cool achievements but you get nothing about it. Titles? TITLES! Who need 200 different titles? Nobody! How about mounts, costume pieces, housing stuff, colors, VANITY ITEMS? Wildstar has no pet system but it would bring so much additional collecting fun.It shouldn´t be packed all in Raids and Dungeons. Especially if you are a soloplayer, there should be many more opportunities to get cool things. Reputation, achievements , hidden places, events ... There are so many ways to reward players with cool things. But they are not used.
 
My ideas on short or long term:
Mounts: There are far too few mounts. Just bring more different varieties and colors of the existing different models into the game. The same also applies to flairs! (there are so many only droppable flairs :( ... why?) 
Vanity Items: I think there are almost no Funitems in Wildstar. Only the sun essence thing of Whitevale. Which is cool! Otherwise nothing. Implement more of these items that bring us a funny moment and which are worth to collect. (Appearance change, please. We want to be a Lopp!) 
Pets: There is no pet system. But it has been said many times that you work on it. Hopefully it is not like any other normal pet system. It should be a nice solo content with lots of possibilities. (here is a good suggestion for a petsystem - but it´s german) And make sure to bring many different variants, please! Such a system has so much potential. 
Achievements: The whole achievement system is useless because there are no real rewards except the titles. Why? Why should I collect achievements? It is a system that has so much potential, but it is not used at all. You must implement rewards to give players an incentive to collect achievements. 
Treasures: There is only one treasure in every zone and it was really funny to find them. Why only one? Add MORE! 10-20 in each zone and better rewards. No armor. Housing stuff, mount stuff, costumes ... 
Costumes: Adding more costume pieces in different areas of the game as a reward. 
New things: 
customizable weapon effects 
new colors with effects like the gamescom color 
twink items: heirlooms
unlockable accountwide reputation points
unlockable exp flasks
more cool imbuements (imbuements on costumes for special effects or something too?!) 
a system wich allows to change spelleffects (color, animation) with (collectable) items 
a system which allows to change characteranimations (jump, run, cast, swim, eat) with (collectable) items (example) 
delete path vanity skills and make a whole system with these kind of skills which could be collactable 
 
I know. All this takes time. But there are some points that should really be quickly solved. And I hope Carbine even know that the lack of rewards are a general problem of WildStar.Thanks!

			Easy tiger, there's loads of bugs and balancing to fix before worrying about new stuff! :)

			Achievements are fine until crap like Olivar mentioned start to happen. Make it so they cannot be linked. Make them a list of personal accomplishments instead of a way to brag or create an echelon for dungeons.Everything else will happen in time.

Just adding new color to mount not good enough, and Chua must say already have many many many mounts ingame.
Chua think each side has 10-12 different mounts?
 
<snip>
 
Chua rather see all Achievements dissapear before abuse start like: "LFM Dungeon, Link Immortal"
Was big pest in WoW, and not want to see this crap in WildStar
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Not sure how 10-12 equals "many many many."
 
I like achievements a lot more when they're for doing off-the-wall or incredibly time-intensive or otherwise difficult things. They mean that there's always something to do out there.
 
But it's frustrating to me that only WoW and Rift really got the whole concept of achievements including more than just "complete X quests" or "complete X dungeon" or "kill X mobs".
----
			
12 mounts are "way too many", imho.
 
Houses are huge funitems.
 
The Captain demands pets, now.
 
Achievs are fun, especially the unexpected, like those granted by finding hidden spots around. Killing big stuff is also a worth cause for an achie. Make them non-linkable, like already wisely said.
Little Chua, it's not achies' fault if they are used by players as requirements for admission to raids/dungeons.
Blasters don't kill people.
Nasty blaster-wielding critters do.
 
The Captain demands moar costumes, now.

Better than no dungeon groups? OK ...
 
 
 
Buyable mounts or mounts with a droprate under 0,1%? This is really funny ... not!

Space horse
Space pig
Space llamaraptorbunny
Space dinosaur
Space lizard
Chua ball
Grungy unicycle
Sleek unicycle
Hoverboard
 
That's the 9 mount types (distinguishable silhouette, no flair) that I know of. And if you are one of the three races with a tail, you can only use the hoverboard, if you want to not have your character lose half of their spine.
 
Where are the other 1-3 mount types?

			If they are going to add more mounts, I don't want more hoverboards....such a lazy way to make mounts!

			These would be perfect additions to the cash shop.

That's surely more than you will use. Let me guess, you have 1 all flaired up and then only use a hoverboard for actual traveling?

I don't have any flairs (aside from the ones my path gave me). Don't really like them. And I don't have the plat to spend on other mounts as I'm still leveling and it all goes to housing anyway.
 
That said, I am a collector. I generally go out of my way to try and get as many mounts/pets/whatevers as I possibly can. It doesn't matter if I don't "use" some of them. The more vanity stuff in the game, the more things there are to do.

5 years from now we will be asking them to stop vanity items because our 30+ costume slots are full. 
----
			
I would love to see regular contests for player-designed costume items.
 
We have so many creative people in this player base that it'd be awesome crowdsourcing. ^_^	
----
			Update with some more suggestions...	
----
			Updatet post :)

I would actually love for them to include the mount variations that cropped up at the end of Open Beta.

			I'd like to see themed costumes, mounts, and housing items for each of the zones based on the feel of the zones environment (Whitevale should have two costumes, cause size). They should be possible rewards for the zones challenges, and rare drops from enemy mobs.

Most of them will come with Drop #4 ;)
 
It´s german, but here you can see all new mounts:

			Whoa there hold the reigns. I realize that CArbine wanted to make an updated vanilla wow but lets not make this modern world of warcraft with a better combat system while were at it.	
----
			
I too think this game has a surprising lack of amounts.
 
Think of all the cool things you could have for mounts!  More cool hoverboards, spaceships, motorcycles, speeders, creatures!  More please!	
----
			
Can we please have this mount for Chua?
 	
----
			Dreg Trask mount pretty please  :wub:	
----
			I want a harness that lets Exiles turn Chua into mounts and ride on their shoulders while making them gallop around. Yeeehaw!	
----
			
I'm sorry if someone already mentioned this, (don't have time to catch up with every post), but a lot of things on your list are already added in the next Drop!
 
Full list here: http://www.readycheck.org/en/forum/wildstar/news/mega-overview-content-drop-4/
 
1) Daily Shiphand/Adventure/Dungeon/PBG/RBG quest (you pick one)
2) Weekly PvE/PvP/Quest..Quest (complete a certain amount of instances or quests and you'll get rewarded bonus EG over the cap!)
3) More costumes.. check!
4) More mounts... check! (They're also greatly reducing the strain and bulldog hoverboard prices..10p + 2p per flair.... dang it lol)
5) Solo content? Vet shiphands.. Check! (You also earn Renown from soloing shiphands, so you won't be punished)
6) Twink items... It's "sort of" implemented. They added 3 new rune sets (3/6/9 for bonuses) - Each runes include: +XP gain, +Renown gain and +Coin drop... Get your farming sets ready!! (Edit: purchasable with Renown)
 
I *think* that's it, based on what you listed.
 
Everything else, I totally agree! It would be cool seeing it all in the game eventually! :)	
----
			Yeah, Drop #4 was nice ... but most of the mentioned things are still open ;)

As the first MMO I've played without pets (maybe TERA but I didn't last long with that game), it kills me. I miss pets. I want pets. I want cute and adorable pets, and maybe killer pets— which can also be adorable.
 
Pets... make it happen!	
----
			I would totally, totally dig a cute Roomba pet following me around everywhere. Wildstar is the perfect setting for a Roomba pet, MAKE IT HAPPEN DICE BLIZZARD CARBINE!!
