I'm back after a few months Hiatus.  
 
When I left the game it was lousy with hackers and bad server status, and things were just completely out of whack.  You leveled too fast for each zone, and as a result things were just too difficult as you wound up out-leveling your gear.  Professions and PvP were buggy, and there were just not a whole lot of reasons to stay.
 
I'm happy to see that things have improved immensely.  There are still some things that need work (Profession recipes that are almost impossible to get, see low level adventures and dungeons) and PvP has yet to resurrect.  But this has the makings of an epic game once again.
 
Moving forward....once all the final little bugs have been ironed out, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get the word out.  Devs, you gotta throw out more than just ad banners on websites.  Part of what makes Wildstar so unique is the snark, the humor, and the combat system.  You can't convey that in a banner ad.  I guarantee, players will join if they see Phineas T. Rotostar extolling the virtues of coming to nexus, while conveniently glossing over the more interesting details.
 
All we need to make this game great is one or two more rounds of bug fixes and population.

I agree, they need to get their ads out there where everyone can see them.  They need to do some more Wildstar flicks and really go all out on the badass factor.  Like a few months ago I had suggested that they take the clip below which is the opening scene from Air Force One and make a flick like that but replace all the Special Forces with Chua.  And replace all the Kazak guards with Aurin/Granok, and yes i am dead serious.

But they should do something similar for all races for both factions, not just Chua.  Do a new flick and dial down the cutesy factor and bust out with the gomg these people are badass.  Dont just portray Malvolio and Artemis as a bunch of hoighty toighty Dominions.  They need to have those two in a really cool action sequence and not just be a butt of Chua bomb jokes or fake reality TV hate. Kit Brinny and Commander Durek (sp?) can have the same thing and they are already pretty cool as characters so they are halfway there.  Have a look at the below trailer for The Burning Crusade.  Out of all the games i've played that is still one of the best trailers i've ever seen.  Both factions featured in it, and you even have the main bad guy from the expac doing dialogue and just listen to how pissed off he sounds. The action sequences arent the best, but the background music, the pacing, the narration all come together pretty well imo.

But if they are going to be doing ads they also need to make sure that the issues that were present at launch are fixed. Dont just roll out more and more content to cover up anything that was wrong at launch.  Fix those issues and once that is done have one of these gaming mags or online game review sites do a re-review of the game.

Honestly, any ad campaign, slogan, or banner that centers around Chua is just going to feed the ongoing narrative about this game that the whole thing is like a kiddie cartoon.
WE know Chua aren't cuddlesnuggles, but people unfamiliar with the game don't know that. If you already know enough about Wildstar to know what a Chua is, you aren't the audience that the ads should be intended for. 
 
Humans are the core of both the Exiles and the Dominion, and space cowboys as the main focus will communicate more about the setting of this game than a cute humanoid animal ever will.

Ironic that the two most played races in the game are probably the two that would work least well in an ad campaign.
