== Content ==
			
Hey all,
 
As the title suggests, I'm considering coming back to Wildstar.
 
After my first round of playing, the game felt too hardcore (more so than I expected). Felt there was too much demand for me to speed through the content as quickly as possible etc etc.
 
Now, I have nothing against hardcore. I consider myself a very good MMO player with over 15 years MMO experience. I just like to take my time and enjoy the game.
 
No to get to my point. Wanting to come back, but more of a (filthy) casual. Still want to do the odd adventure and dungeon, but was wondering if there was more solo content coming to keep me entertained. Loved the housing aspect of the game and made myself a cool little science lab :)
 
Anyways, If anyone could provide more info I'd be grateful. Or even a guild invite to an guild that like to do other things than just raid/dungeon content.
 
Sorry for the waffle.
 
Cheers :)

There is a new patch coming on Tuesday with a solo instance and a new zone to explore.
 
Keep in mind that there is more solo content in this game than group content in the first place.

			Drop 3 is Tuesday?

I just felt really pressured into rushing through the game and that I had to do dungeons and raids to progress the story :(
 
I mean if you don't raid will that mean you cant see the end of the story line?

			I currently don't have a guild and I'm pretty busy. There's a lot of solo content but it's not properly advertised in game. I've seen 4 zones (malgrave, blighthaven, crimson badlands and I don't remember the 4th one but the transport is near the crimson badland guy) with lvl 50 daily quests, maybe i've missed one but that's already almost too much dailies for me. I suggest you queue for adventures or practice battlegrounds while you're doing your dailies, so that you can have some fun. Adventures are really easy and battlegrounds are really fun.

You don't have to raid to get the story content. In fact, you don't really get much story content so far in raiding that I've seen (admittedly, I'm still only halfway through GA). Omnicore-1, a solo dungeon coming out in Drop 3, will be full of the story content, though :D
 
As far as I can tell, not raiding in Wildstar really just means that you...um...aren't raiding in Wildstar? Not that you are missing anything if you aren't into raiding. (If you enjoy raiding, the raids are pretty dang fun...again, in my somewhat still limited experience)

Most of the story I have discovered from taking my time and reading the lore, the "epic multi-part" solo story line that's coming up looks great. Excited for more Caretaker hilarity! You can view some great info on the next drop here and an in-depth overview of the next area here.
 
And if you happen to be on Entity Exile or Dominion side we'd love to have you in our guild. We run adventures and dungeons daily, and have a mixed player base of experienced 50s, levelers, pvpers, and returning players. You can view our recruitment thread by clicking on <Alura Gaming> in my signature or check out our website at www.aluragaming.com We have just started a C.R.E.D.D giveaway for our members and Wildstar players!
 
My account add is also Caela if you'd like to have a chat in game, hope to hear from you!

That's odd because there is zero world story content in dungeons and raids.  Whatever minimal story there is in a dungeon as a motivator to kill stuff begins and ends in that dungeon.

You can get the datacubes doing normal versions of the dungeons. I mean, I guess if you are opposed to any and all group content, you may miss a few datacubes by not doing dungeons.
 
I don't really include datacubes when I think of the actual world story, so that's probably just an interpretation thing on my part. They are part of the lore, and may tell a bit of the story of something specific, but they world story is more found in the world story questline, the Drusera instances, and the upcoming dungeon than anything in dungeons (or the raids).

The nice thing about end-game story, Koryal, is we're specifically taking steps to allow folks who aren't raiders to see the major story beats in our World Story instances. Journey Into OMNICore-1, the first World Story instance, is meant to take place alongside Datascape and shows a different perspective of the fights and goals within. You get the gist of the story right there in a solo instance experience. And that's in the Defile drop!
 
We also have more things coming up beyond this patch, like Veteran Shiphands, that will appeal to solo and small group folks at max level. We've definitely been listening to the desire to have more content that caters to that crowd, and we're working on it. :)

Really?  I've heard there were a couple of datacubes in SSM that I'd love to hear.  Sure I could youtube them, but that's lame.  Is it critical lore?  Probably not, but I wouldn't say the claim of "zero" is entirely accurate.
