== Content ==
			Didn't you guys say a week ago that there'd at least be "a hint or two" about what's coming up for WildStar this week? I seem to remember talk of there being "surprises" this week that will give us "a peek into what's coming for WildStar" in the "not-too-distant future." Guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed the next three days.

Gotten frustrated enough by the lack of any details about future plans for this game that I was going to say I wouldn't log in again until there's some sort of real announcement, but that would only hurt me, not NCsoft / Carbine (but my guess is it's mostly NCsoft being the problem).
 
What I will say is this, I will not spend another dime on this game until there is some sort of concrete announcement about the future of this game. No, 'We'd like to do this or that' or 'This is something we'd like to do in the future' or 'We have big plans, just wait and see.' Nope. Not a dime from me until there's something like 'This is what we're planning, and this is when it should be done.'

Except that it isn't. The game needs income from its players to continue to exist, and up until now I was happy to be one of the people who helped the game stay afloat, instead of just being a drain. 
 
Cute. 
 
Yes, I do know how a press embargo works. I also know that lack of communication from Carbine, for whatever reason, is jeopardizing the future of a game I very much enjoy playing. Players are leaving because, for all they know, nothing new is coming, which is bad when some servers are already ghost towns. I'm already seeing players gone for months on my guild and neighbor lists, and it seems like there's more logging out and never coming back every day. 
 
Maybe you guys weren't there, but I saw this game basically die before, due to very similar circumstances, and I do not believe it will survive another mass exodus of players. I'm not frustrated because I want new content for myself. I'm frustrated because I want this game to not die, and it's very annoying to see those in charge doing such a poor job of trying to keep it alive.

			TT and Caydiem really deserve some credit, in my opinion.  Despite the fact that there's this embargo and so little communication, you can really tell they are trying to do what they can to make us feel like we're being heard.  I may have been doing a lot of griping the past couple weeks, but I hope they know that their efforts are appreciated.

The problem is the game is run by NCSOFT not Carbine, the studio team have no say or power! We don't even have a Carbine community team, just a set of headless chickens that run around from one NCSOFT game to another....and they don't give a s**t
 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
This is rubbish.  You don't understand what publishers do, do you?  Stop making excuses for Carbine.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Lol it's not an excuse, it's the truth...well some of it... NCsoft will not allow Carbine to talk about current upcoming content, EMBARGO, Carbine announced stuff at the press release on the 13th of this month, but they can't talk about it publicly...Im sorry you cant accept that, but that's how it is.
----
			
Well if NCSoft is making Carbine hold off on announcing anything it could be for many reasons. One being whatever is coming might make people leave so they want to soak in any profits until any future project is announced no matter how awful it could be. (  IF New Drop is only one added Adventure for example or even worse than the single Battleground drop they did which they thought was a massive drop.....one spanking new Shiphand XD ). Trust in development has dropped is another reason and they are trying to save Carbine from making any promises on stuff they cant deliver. 
 
Another thing though....if all the raid bosses are copy and paste npc models and none are unique and the environment map is done the same way what takes so long to release any new stuff really? 1 year to produce something that looks like it tooks 2 months? RIFT doesnt add new content often either but at least when they do its with a bang and unique looking NPCs not this copy and paste stuff that looks like it took no effort or was done by a lazy developer. Just stating something that does stand out and removes much of the wow factor for anything new released in any game.
 
Maybe it takes a year for them to sit around a table discussing what the telegraph shape should be maybe? (sarcasm).
Oh and unique does not mean slapping strain stuff or glow effects on existing npc models....hint...

It's all very X-Files....And maybe the truth is out there! All we Wildstar players know is what we see and read, there is nothing to read! And all we will see at the next stream is one Carbine Dev and two publisher employee....make your own mind up on that one.
 
So here we are, is this the start of the week that was ? Or the week that will be ?

			I don't see what's so mysterious here. Carbine used to tell us literally everything in weekly streams... we got pissy as hell when stuff they said was "possibly coming" didn't, and we burned them... obviously they are going to hedge their statements now. They tried in good faith to keep us apprised all the time, and we spat it back in their faces. They learned their lesson, we didn't learn ours

Except I was there. I saw guilds all around mine collapse and die, and I'm seeing it again. But because of the embargo, Carbine's unable to really do anything aside from post what TT posted last night in that thread.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well most don't die, they just quit the game and move onto other things.  I've never understood the appeal of tying one's community to a single game.  Sure focus on one, but to hang that communities existence on something out of one's control.  Seems foolhardy.

NCSoft is too busy drowning in its own incompetence. There's rumors about Wildstar being released in China: what if they'd just work on a new big drop with lots of new content AND release in China? Sounds like double anticipation and profit. But no, NCSoft's too busy with stuffing money into Blade and Soul at the moment I guess.

My threat to stop spending money on the game worked. You're all welcome for today's announcement. :P
 
Yes, of course I'm not serious. Jeez.

Translation:
Carbine had to chose between "annoucing and not delivering" or pick the lesser evil and "not announce at all".
 
Both is unprofessional, both is a no-go in a genre in which players usually invest alot of time (in some cases even adding up to actual years of playtime) into their games and would want to know where their favorite game is heading towards.
 
"When it's ready" usually applies to releasing actual content, when it hits the low level of even releasing information on content it's starts to get rather concerning to me -especially considering the overall sorry state of the game and Carbine's general history of (mis-)managing it since way back in beta.
 
The reasons, what's and why's behind all that are none of my business and as a customer, i only have to take or not take it as it is, read the signs shown to me and decide on that what to do with my money.
 
This "next week" stuff is AGAIN another amateurish PR ridiculousness on their part. We are obviously being strung along with this mockery.
I can't even find the original posting anymore. Maybe i was just unlucky with my search for it, maybe it AGAIN got deleted re-actively. Wouldn't be the first time.
 
All this may be related to the China release or possible negotiations for a Steam release. Otherwise i would get the idea that Carbine is just waiting out the
next batch of numbers(=$$$) and NCSOft's following directive on that ..and then either release information about new content or the shutdown of the game.
