Hey peeps
 
well as the title says been wondering about wildstar for awhile now, played the game when it first released and love it but stopped playing as my guild and server went dead.  This was before the mega servers.
Started playing again yesterday and everything still seems to be the same long queues both for instances and pvp and when i do get into pvp my team or the opposing team has bots,  also noticed a lot of bots in lower level areas.
 
i do really like this game but my first impression coming back is that the game is not in a good space. So my question is should i give it more time or is the state of the game at the moment bad?,  cause it certainly looks like its in a bad state.

			​Ther is some problems With bots in the game atm. see alot of them in BG's dont know of any in Arena. Tho belive the botproblem is being worked on. As for the Queues. At max lvl ther are no problems With Queues, Can take some time to get an adventure, but most ppl run dungens atm. The Queues when lvling i can gess will be long, sins most ppl speed lvl now, and the fastest way to lvl is doing quests, anything else just give to litle xp for the time spent.

Hey Arkanis, I definately recommend giving the game another go if you liked it at release. Game has been polished quite a bit since then so should be great. The playerbase is a little on the low side at the moment, but then it is the holidays so that's a big factor. Low lv dungeons might take a moment to find since the xp on them was nerfed a bit, best to go questing while sitting in the queue or signing up as a support role.
 
Wether the game is in a good place or not I think depends on wether Carbine is going to be releasing new and quality content, the upcoming raid especially. Other than that I think it comes down to this type of mmo having lost popularity with the new generation of gamers, considering that the game is doing ok ish.

			Run run as far as you can. With every update this game is going south.Game crashes ,poor performance even on high end PC's server lags when wrold  bosses spawn and random spikes . Community is mostly  full of Elite players, trolls and bots running around pvp.Without item  level  100 equipment  with full  run set  people will kick you from almost  every dungeon.Read forum threads and see for yourself how bad everything really is in game.

			It should be pretty telling that your post could only seem to muster a handful of white knights begging you to come back  telling you things are fine.	
----
			Thanks for the replies  :) will stick with it for a week or two  see how things go, as I do enjoy the game but from what I have seen so far I am guessing i wont be on for long  :(.

If I had to level now, and really wanted to be able to level up I should just do questing. Probably fastest and smoothest.
However, I already got a max lvl main, and my alt is taking it's time. I didn't have time to level up completely during double xp weekend, which was a shame. Because right after the weekend, lowlvl pvp queues stopped popping. Then one day I suddenly got a fast pop, only to realize that the bots had invaded lowlvl bgs... and they are in maxlvl bgs as well now. This is a serious issue, that is said to be looked in to... however nothing will happen during the holiday so hopefully after something will be done about those bots. So, I join a bg now and then to check the bot situation, but I will not aim strongly for hardcore leveling until something is done or until next double xp weekend hit.
So, level through questing if you want to level up fast, my best tip.

			It's F2P now, so you're not losing anything by giving it a shot. You'll get a significantly clearer answer by using your own judgement to decide if a game fits your needs according to your own experiences rather than expecting jaded and disillusioned forum-goers to make up your mind for you, tbh.

I'm having a lot of fun running random stuff with friends, working on housing, raiding a couple nights a week, and occasionally leveling an alt. Plus there's the holiday event and several fun events before that.
 
But really, it's up to you to decide whether you enjoy the game. ^^ I hope you decide to stay!

it would be a shame if the game went away and you hadn't experienced it. WIldstar is worth some of your entertainment time IMO
just don't expect it to be for a long time

			eh dont

			OP, what do you consider long queues?  And all the matches in pvp I have been in this week have had no bots, mostly premades.  Bad players do not mean bots.  And don't listen to Vahlen, there's a lot to do at 50 besides raiding.

Contracts, Expeditions, Adventures, Dungeons, Dailies, World Bosses, Housing, Holo-Wardrobing, PvP.
 
Just because you may exceed the gear that comes from some content doesn't mean the content is worthless.  Some people do the content because it's fun to do, not just for the gear rewards.  I far exceed the gear you get from Expeditions and Contracts, but I have a blast doing them so I'll keep doing them.  I wish I could join the World Boss train and jump into Adventures, but I have crappy internet right now :(
 
Sure, if gear is your only motivator Vahlen has a point, but if it's not just jump in and find what suits you :D

			Exactly what beattlebilly said.  I only need 1 more shield and imbuement on my gloves and I have the BIS gear around.  But I still do world bosses (if they were instanced by way more fun), I still do vet dungeons and some contracts and the PVP bg.  I used to like adventures but the rewards are just not there.  I like the choose your own adventure aspect, reminds me of the books I had growing up, just wish you could push the adventures to go faster, and difficulty was increased.  Because you know that whole fun thing.
