Just an outsiders perspective and biased opinions on Wildstar as it is now.
So Wildstar has been out for a few months now, bug fixes and patches and content are coming along with new bugs as well naturally.
I really like Wildstar and I think it is the best MMO thus far based on it being the least worst and it works as intended most of the time and isn't completely and utterly frustrating or boring.
Not many MMOs can make the same claim which is sad.
Megaservers are coming and while I understand the less positive reasons for it I appreciate the benefits of having them, even if Jabbit seems to be winning on the RP side. Bah. I went for Dominus and Tristan for PVP, much more dignified and thematically appropriate.
"What is the server you are playing on?" "Cute fluffy bunny rabbit!"
But whatevs.
 
We've lost a lot of people over the months, some due to work, school, sickness, death, boredom, raid fatigue. frustration, despair, real life duties and obligations etc.
I suspect that more people will have time to play in October once work and school is settling in.
I've also noticed a lot of defeatism: "It is hopeless, Wildstar is dying, rats leaving the sinking ship, no one plays X mode so you cannot play X mode because no one is playing it" etc.
It is a self fulfilling prophecy if enough people believe it and despair, losing hope and giving up.
Me, I'll work on getting people active and into the awesome and cool stuff that people claim is impossible to do as I have done in many other games previously.
It is more fun that way for everyone! ^^
 
We still have lots of people active and having fun, even on our low pop pve server and it is quite awesome and all the housing creations and RP events are simply amazing!
Housing in Wildstar can be so crazy awesome, totally sweet and cool and I love it!
 
Paths: Paths are still good, I am especially impressed with Settlers, the things they can plant and repair and build sometimes leave me giddy with excitement.
I'd like to see a group of settlers and explorers join together and build up and maintain a smaller settlement, I think it would look way cool.
I like how all the paths get some combat content.
Still needs tweaks and fixes, I mean Bailout for soldiers, really?
 
Classes: Needs tweaking and balancing, making the Espers more mobile was a great thing IMO.
It is great to see Carbine working so hard on getting classes properly done right.
 
PVE: Events are cool, many complain about the daily quests but I like them, especially Crimson Isles.
My character loves explosions and burning things.
Much fun!
Northern wastes is a lot quicker run overall, finished much faster.
Disarming mines challenges and quests never gets dull though. Boom! Muahahah! So amusing.
Scorchwing was nerfed recently and thank the Scions for it, now it is less of a slugfest and a lot less tedious.
There are many interesting and cool quests, as well as a lot dull ones but overall the good outweighs the bad IMO.
Challenges are varied and range from utterly dull to quite amusing.
Nothing new there.
 
I have a lot of things I want to do in adventures that I haven't done. The standard for Crimelords is 2 and the rest 1 and I want to do the other choices, see where that leads.
Even then there is some variation, firebombing a bar and killing the firefighters, quite amusing and that was the 2, 1 run.
Thank you Carbine!
So awesome.
 
PVP: Needs a few tweaks and fixes but the rewards can be great if you do well.
PVP is fun but practice Sabotage! Daggerfall pass is kinda rare.
Many claim that no one does Warplots or Sabotage! but If you take everyone who claims that nobody runs them and put them in a group you would easily have at least two full teams.Hehe.
How hard is it to do the basic math is what I ask?
Protip: Get pvp gear, it makes a huge difference.
 
Overall, a good game and it will get better, it is in need of more content and a few more patches but I wish to praise Carbine for making so many fun and cool and awesome things. I love it.
Thank you Carbine! And thank you Pappy for the lovely lore.
Thank you Jen Gordy for the great PvP, I was a casual and a carebear and while still a casual Wildstars pvp has won me over, a great job from the pvp team.
