So, I remember reading a tweet when we got the message on the forums "The realms will be brought down on 5/05/2015 for a game update" and we were all like...huh? Why no hype and whatnot?  But I was absolutely filled with cheer when I saw Tony Rey say "We will be doing a full push when drop 5 is out" or something like that...I was all filled with joy..
 
 
So drop 5 came out, we had an awesome trailer that is still full of cupcakes in the comments, some posts on 3rd party game sites about the drop, no streamers paid or asked to stream the game, no youtube ads, mmo-champion ads, no twitch ads... 
 
If you would of combined all of these.
Trailer
Youtube ads
Twitch ads
popular streamer support
ads on 3rd party sites
Interviews with game journalists and popular sites like MMorpg or MassivelyOP
 
Then that would of been a decent marketing push because a lot of people will click the ad that says "Wildstar, things are about to get real CUPCAKE" and then for it to say try for free now somewhere.
 
 
because unless I just read Tonys tweet wrong... this should not be your or anyone idea of a "full push"

			The push will come when the payment system changes, a guess would be D6..

they said after, :)
 
besides they might not financially be able to do those things. They are making a come back but it's not huge but I don't think wildstar ever will see a huge surge in players all at once. If it continues to build steadily though things will get better and better. Advertisements would be nice but a company can only do so much with limited resources. I fear that if it was not for all the CREDD they sold at the beginning of launch they might not still be around. 
 
But cheer up :) my guild recruits returning and new players almost everyday and so do many other guilds. The game is doing well again and will continue if they keep pumping out more content like this.
 
I foresee account bound mounts and another raid in the nearish future. It's just time... ppl are finishing datascape and will need something new to do.

			Lately I ask a lot of questions that begin from "why". So, why Free Trial Button is not at the main page yet? That's the simpliest thing Carbine could ever do. FT Page is just awesome.

I think a good amount of the stuff I put there could be done with there limited budget, such as interviews and website ads... But paying streamers and whanot I could see being difficult.
 
Also, 7 out of 39 guilds are 9/9
I imagine 20+ more guilds are 0/9
 
I don't think another raid tier is coming very soon.
Unless they nerf Datascape hard when the next tier comes out, by the time those 30+ guilds complete Datascape and are ready for Redmoon, than The Lightspire raid will be out.

Carbine is pregnant?
 
 
Congratulations!
 
Boy or girl?

"F2P coming drop 4"
"F2P coming drop 5"
"F2P coming drop 6" (It won't)
"F2P coming drop 7"
 
You guys should give up :P

Do you mean drop 5?  Because that's when everyone said payment model would change.
 
Or maybe you meant drop 4, because we heard the same thing about that drop too.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No i am speaking about D6, what other people have guessed about, is not my concern.
----
			I'm still guessing we'll see a push for their one year anniversary. It gives them this whole month to polish the bugs from drop 5, and then showcase all the changes they've made through the year. 	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That might be that there are only a few guilds currently at that stage but with all the gear changes, power changes, and returning of classes the bosses are gonna start falling over much faster than they were. Esp with the nice influx of players to help out rosters that are hurting for good raiders.
 
The game will have been out a year and have the same raids out that it did at launch minus one boss in a box that was a boss that should have been in GA to begin with.

Give up?
I have no agenda, i only live in the realm of reality.
Tony said on stream that they would not promote/push the game before it was ready for it and i think NCsoft might see that with D6.

Again, wasn't the same thing said since launch? I suppose if you say the apocalypse will come tomorrow every day, you may eventually be right
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Apocalypse ?
Could u be a little more dramatic please.
 
Where in my posts do u see any doom & gloom?
If i dint know any better, i would think that some one programed a bot to respond to anything, related to payment,
and always come up with the same 5-10 responses, with a little different wording each time.

{| class="blockquote"
I actually have a theory about the boss in a box thing...
 
They took a boss out of GA for a boss in a box later down the road just in case they needed new time with Tier 2
 
But they also took one extra measure and took a boss out of the Datascape just in case as well..
 
Hopefully, we get a DS boss in a box soon as well to hold us over for Tier 2!

It was confirmed from timetravel that the boss in a box encounter was origionally designed for GA. (it was in the show off stream a few weeks back on zero to fifty)
They just could not fit the design from the boss into GA so they decided to leave it out.
The real encounter designed for GA was probally the current normal mode with an easier gear check. Currently you need around starter DS gear to do normal mode.
along this there is also the hard mode which has been world first(ed) last night from enigma.
According to enigmas comments on reddit the encounter is significantly more difficult on hard mode then anything else you experience in 40 man DS and now 20 man DS.
gear lvl needed is around 20 people with nearly everything in avatus gear.
raid composition has not been posted but i am expecting something like 5-8 healers 3 tanks and rest dps.

I thought it was intended to be clearable if you are half of GA on farm for easy, and half DS on farm for hard. Maybe it is overtuned?

			Ya know, I really think housing is an underutilized marketing tool. Housing taps into that same creative mindset that made Minecraft a hit, and I guarantee you that if Carbine made a roll of footage from different housing plots players have created and ran an ad with it, non-players wouldn't believe it was player-made stuff and would come in to see what the buzz was all about.

push what? broken pvp, laggy warplots, 1fps scorchwing fights, raid frame ui errors, nobody in low level zone, long queues for even new content like bay of betrayal.
 
basically the game is not yet ready for the "big push" (big push being the f2p conversion).
they cannot burn their only chance at getting peeps into the game (the f2p).
smart of them to wait a bit before going all out.	
----
			
Perhaps it's time to move on, Avatar111? Come back whenever (if) the game ever turns B2P or something.
I'm not sure why you'd want it to become F2P if it is as bad of a game as you make it to be. It just sounds like you plain don't like Wildstar, so I'm a bit concerned as to why you're still playing the game. 
 
Please stop derailing every single thread with F2P discussions. You've got your point across.

Perhaps after they put out some refinement patches for Drop 5...
Like I know they're looking into balance stuff for PvP and looking over the data for classes like slinger and medic...
That Red flash needs to go...
and a couple of other things	
----
			I highly doubt they will go on a massive advertising push until they've got PVP in a better state.  That may not happen until they think they're ready for Season 2.
