== Content ==
			
Let me preface that this isn't a "fanboy" post...this is my basic take after a hiatus from the game; I'm not here to go into all the minute details about the problems, issues, etc. ...all games have these, especially new ones, it's how they bounce back that counts. 
 
I just re-subbed after a couple months off.  I went back to WoW recently, and have been trying Archeage and SWTOR, but W* is potentially far superior imho.  The combat alone has spoiled any other MMO for me, I personally love the action and movement, all those other games are stiff, slow, and clunky compared to W*.   Personally, the humor at times is a bit over the top for my liking, but the way the game looks and feels far outweigh any of the tongue in cheekiness (the taxi drivers annoy me, but I digress).  And of course the housing is leaps and bounds better than ANY other system out there.  
 
I'm also an avid PVE'er, and I love the PVE in this game...I can't speak much to PVP as that isn't really my cup of cupcake gameplay style.
 
Sure there are/were problems, miscalcualtions, terribad gear RNG, and a soul-sucking attunement process...but it appears Carbine has handle on the things that drove many away;  and coming back to this game after some time off has really actually opened my eyes to how good it really is...and how potentially much better it can be.
 
I don't care about sub, f2p, b2p, etc...I care about how good a game feels, how fun it is, how good it looks, and how much it has going for it moving forward;  W* has ALL those things that I like.
 
So in short, I really hope this game lasts and grows, it's a great game, and I'm re-committed to giving it a fairer shake over the next few months and making it my main MMO of choice.  Keep it up Carbine, it's not perfect, but you guys appear to be heading in the right direction....here's to seeing this game get better, and a year from now clicking on all cylinders!

			It could be me posting this :D

I will agree about the combat of wildstar being so good that it has ruined that of other MMOs. It does feel like the next natural step of the mmo evolution imho.. and it is here, now, today.
 
Other mmo types will also continue existing, even thrive with their existing playerbases.. but personally I can not go back there anymore. A few days back, I tried checking a popular MMOs recent release and the gameplay made me twitchy, uneasy and somewhat depressed I could not move as freely.. kind of like having my hands tied.
 
It did not take me long to exit and quickly log back into Wildstar.
 
There are a lot of positives here and hopefully with the proper marketing, more players will catch up.
 
In the meantime, I am having fun watching the game grow.

			Tried to go back to both WoW and Star Wars (really really love ToR, btw) recently and the combat felt so archaic. There were a few times where I tried to reflexively double tap to dodge or hold down shift to sprint. Only to say "Oh yeah..." in the end and get hit with something, or not make a jump because there was no added momentum.	
----
			Your title is a bit.... people are entitled to their opinion and with feedback the game can become better.	
----
			
Ya can't talk on forums unless active account. So the ranters odiously care about the game/have stuck around.
They may be a bit harsh, or over the top. But it's mostly because they are upset & hurt something they loved hurt them.
So try to take it with a pinch of salt.
 
The customization vid for example. Was me to 100%, that vid, totally got me. I'm glad there's a nice change your look system built in from the ground up. But 1 costume set, and 1 hat. Wasn't as I imagined it.
 
That the 'mega loot' from raids, isn't usable. Is kind of a big one to most players. That it's not going to change till sometime next year, meaning everything you get drop this year from raid, is just wasting time. May upset some people.
That if you put the gear in your bank, just in case it will be upgraded with the update to gear - get put in high PvP brackets, yet sub -1500 rated people, still get matched vs 1800+ prebuilts. Rubs salt in the wound.
 
Also, from what I've seen. The 'fix' to gear. Still will be far from perfect.
I think the dev's should know, any time you get gear, and then have to throw it away, and get the SAME piece of gear with different RNG sockets. Is going to diminish the buz of finally getting your X piece of wanted gear.
Currently on adv it'd take me ~1,200 of the SAME pieces of gear, farmed over and over, to get it 'perfect' to how I want. Even the 'fix' where I can go farm items to RNG re'roll once, that's still ~600 same pieces of gear on adv. Tho the changes to sockets might actually put that higher again.
 
Anyway, I'm really glad we got such a good dev team that they read the forums, and actually get what the players are feeling. Even if they have to put up with the 'madbro' to get to the point sometimes.

@OP
 
Agreed on all fronts. :)

			I'm new here and just taking my first baby steps in WS, loving it so far, only remade my character about 6 times before finding the one, now I'm ready to continue playing, progress and experience, Ahh :D These Feels of a level new playing field excite me... I'm yet to get my first mount, my first home, see my first group content, I've only just taken some crafts & gathering skills! really is Tabula Rasa for me. Ain't nothin' gonna convince me to give in, no way, not at this point, there's plenty more to see and do for me.

While i do enjoy the game i cannot comprehend the 80 people in the WORLD that are doing DataScap (only 80).
 
Just like yesterday prime time on EU servers there was NONE, none 2v2 teams playing arenas and the queue time for BGs was 14 minutes (showed 7 but it took 15 to queue each time).
 
When you report that to the whole EU or whole world... you know there is a problem.

I admit I cancelled my subscription some time ago, and I've quit dungeons entirely. I still do the occasional adventure, though on a "you whine, I leave" level. Meaing if anyone tries to start a stupid argument, I quit and find another group. That's how little I care about adventures in the first place, all thanks to a long line of really bad experiences. The reason I still stick around for them is that there are the occasional nice people there., and finding a whole group of nice people is magical. I adore those moments. :)
 
Plus, I'll be the first to say Wildstar has a lot of issues. Quite a lot, even. We can't even change our costume without visiting a costume vendor, the map is beyond horrible, we need add-ons for some crucial stuff (we can't even see our party-members's names on the screen without add-ons, so we have no idea where they are) (last I checked, anyway), and all those (bleep)ing prime monsters makes exploring a pain too often. Which is a shame, as exploring should be the most fun part. On top of all that, I've more or less given up on the Dominion side. There might be more people there now that we have mega-servers, but as we can't send stuff cross-faction to our alts, I don't see the point in bothering much with the dominions. I have one characters, and I really do love her. But if we can't get more character slots, she'll be a lone wolf. Or lone chua, to be precise.
 
That said, I really do love the game most of the time. The combat is a lot of fun, the crafting system interesting, the graphics beautiful, the humor quite fun most of the time, and the attention to detail is really good. It's very easy to tell that this is a game made with love. That's very rare these days, sadly. Most games are made just to make money. I think that's why Kickstarter has been so successful. It finally lets people make the games they want, so games are made with love once again. Instead of first making a game and then hoping it will sell, they first sell the game, then make it. ESO was also a game made with love, but it felt like they didn't know if they wanted to make a single-player game or MMO. The result was a hybrid, and failed on both parts. Wildstar was an MMORPG right from the start, and they never bothered to hide the fact it's just more of the same as we have had all along. But instead of just being more of the same, it's the sum of all the best parts from tons of other MMORPGs, and that shows. I've played a lot of MMORPGs that has one or two unique features I really like, but they were lacking in most other ways. Wildstar doesn't have many of those unique features, but it combines the unique features from other games into a single game.
 
But what the games has mot of all is potential. For all it's flaws and all it's strengths, the real selling-point for me is the potential. There are flaws, yes, but those can be removed easily enough. A lot of them can be removed with add-ons, so Carbine can make them official enough. Not literally making add-ons official, but they can see what add-ons are the most popular, then make their own versions of them in the game itself. This way the add-ons won't be needed, but a part of the game itself. Combat is fun, but it can be improved. Mounts are useful, but can be improved. I'm still waiting for my hoverboard halfpipe or skatepark, Carbine. Or at least multiplayer hovedboard-races down a mountain. With halfpipes. And jumps. Big jumps.
 
Oh, and lightsabers. Me want. :p Of course you can't call it that, but that doesn't mean we can't get one. And Force-powers. One thing I loved about Star Wars: The Old Republic was being attacked by some idiot enemy, then waving my hand and watching him fly off a cliff. Brilliant. So simple, so effective.

The one thing I will say about wildstar is while the combat is very fun, double jumps and the sprint mechanics and all. Sometimes when you are just half awake and barely paying attention it is much easier to get killed in this game than that any of the tab target MMOs.
 
And there are times when you just want to do something, that is in some way reward that requires very little though or attention and this game is not that game unfortunately, well unless you play a warrior. Warriors can sleep walk through daily quests.

			Ok, so after reading a few posts it seems that people are slowly pulling away, I've only just started playing and I'm getting the impression it might not be worth it now, seems like there's gonna be no turning it around and I'll just be wasting any more time by continuing playing... I gotta say, people aren't really doing it any favours the way they're putting it down, for new comers like me it's very off putting.

			Yes WS is fun as heck.  I agree.

Reading all the negativity on the net had the opposite effect on me.
 
I thought hang on a minute, it was a really good game. I just unsubbed due to beta burn out/ waiting for some of the bugs that were bugging me to be fixed.
 
I'm really glad I came back too. I'm completely in love again and having an awesome time  :D

Honesty is the key. Drop 3 which should be coming soon, a few weeks hopefully, will more or less determine the fate of the game.

			I just did the same thing, and I feel in love with game all over again. I really do hope that all the fixing they are trying to do brings back all the people that I know feel like this too.

I did log back in today and I played my ass off, and guess what, I really enjoyed it. I remembered not to take to heart the naysayers and just played as if there was no problems, nor did I encounter any, you're right.  Bringing down a perfectly good game fo no apparent reason.

Well 'potential' is just spin-speak for "not good right now" so can't expect much

Hi Folks,
 
Discussion and conversation is great - but when it turns into personal insults against one another that's when threads become nonconstructive and off topic. Please refrain from insulting one another here on the forums and try to remain on topic.
 
Thank you.

People need to be a bit patient with the game really.  They expected a fully finished polished article.
 
It's not and I don't know when people are going to realise it's probably going to take at least another 6 months to a year to get to a decent state.
 
Drop 3 wont fix everything, we already know this.  It will make things better and that's really all we should expect.  One drop wont fix everything.
 
The following Drop may take us closer to where we want to be but not quite there and then people will be screaming for content galore etc.
 
It's been released early, in an unfit state and needs fixing before content etc needs to arrive.
 
The sooner players realise this the better the atmosphere etc will be.

The Captain agrees with the OP.

People, stop with this crap.
Next drop will be the final one for people who always hope (foolishly) that the next time something's updated, it will be to their liking.

To be honest in SWTOR it was a lot more fun in hutt ball you had to really aim to force push people into fire... especially when they were moving as well... grappling, stunning them in there was not nearly as fun as force pushing someone.
