So, until F2P despite we keep pay our sub we wont get a new Drop...I ll live with that, because as i said in the past i m willing to sacrifice some for an increased population. But at least can we have some info about Drop 6? Can we have something to keep up the hype?
Thank you.	
----
			
Sorry if this comes across harsh, but I think they have a lot more things on their minds then drop 6. 
 
I agree, it would be nice to get more info on it, but this F2P conversion is kinda make or break time. I think it';s safe to say all of their attention (for the moment) is on making sure this goes off without a hitch. 	
----
			We only just got Drop 5 recently.. probably wont start seeing information on Drop 6 until late June, maybe early July. (if their current development / release cycle holds true )

			Which so far, all we know is that it'll be on the PTR, applications are now open for it, and existing subscribers can hop in automatically when it starts.	
----
			what about unsubbed people who purchased? can they just hop in too once its available...the ptr test	
----
			PTR is only available to active subscribers if I'm not mistaken, so just having purchased the game in the past won't be enough. Much like you need an active sub of some sort to be able to post on the forums at all. The exception I guess would be directly applying for the Beta Test itself and crossing your fingers

We'll be talking more about specific features and aspects of drop 6 in the weeks and months to come =)

well in the stream they said that they will still make content  and follow the drop schedule of one every quarter. i only hope we will see in drop 6 the same or more  quality and quantity of content we saw in drop 5 (not just fluffyness of cash shop, or a 6,1 wow selfie patch but real content)
 
i hope Carbine will show us a great content patch and shut up my mouth and fears about upcoming content after the transition	
----
			I hope with the incoming popularity and revenue that we'll see even greater drops than we have - and tbh, drop 4 and 5 will be hard to top in the value they added. But I believe in them!

			That would be a nice egg. Get the Shades Eve event in there, proper holiday craziness...

Think they already gave us a release date Easter egg, those who stay subbed till the F2P will get 4 months loyalty bonus …...next content F2P/Halloween   
 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
If it's not coming until October (or even September), so much for quarterly. :/
----
			so the question here its, we will see drop 6 (content patch) live in the window frame of the 3Q2015, or we will have to wait until 4Q2015 to see it?

			Soon™

I did say that was the end of drops till F2P...............Please take note of the months part
 
And to all those who said I was Scare talking …..up yours  :)

Maybe I'm just nit-picking, but I feel this statement is a little misleading. The introduction of Free-to-Play is included in the next drop. And it is only one piece of the entire whole. We are not putting drops on hold for this transition. As Timetravel mentioned, we'll be talking about up-coming changes and content shortly. And trust me, its a lot of cool stuff.  ^_^

Well lets look at what we know.
 
The drops are quarterly, meaning approx 4 drops per year / every 3 months give or take.
 
Drop 3 - November 2014
Drop 4 - February
Drop 5 - May
Drop 6 - August/September (may take a little longer as it's the F2P launch)
Drop 7 - November
 
Each drop post drop 3, as be amazingly better, and im sure that Carbine as more up there sleeves planned for 6, 7 and beyond!
 
Things to look forward too tho, Shades eve in Drop 6 and Winterfest in Drop 7! *Remember last year, they couldn't get it finished in time for the November drop, meaning that perhaps they can this time around!
 
Maybe being optimistic but i'm allowed! Heres my ideas of what could/will come!
 
Drop 6
- F2P Launch
- Cash Shop
 
What i would like:
- Bound on Account - Achievements/Pets/Mounts (They did it with Costumes, in Drop 5!)
- New Dungeon - Level 35/50 Dungeon - I would like a see Farside based dungeon perhaps looking into the other bio-domes that we have not discovered yet.
- Housing Village - Connect other houses to your own house, so you can see other houses from your plots and little teleporters to go to them. Connect up to 4 houses!
 
 
Drop 7
- New full-size Raid! Possibly GA scale - 6 bosses - Against the Redmoon, to take back/destroy the Mask of Mog-Mog before they rain destruction all over Nexus!
 
- Omni-Core: Part 2 - This will run alongside the new raid, like Part 1 did with Datascape. Now that Avatus as been defeated, The Caretaker can now assist with the issues faced on Nexus (if he fancies it!) and the first issue is to deal with the Redmoon, to stop them raising their dead back to life.
 	
----
			I'm mainly looking forward to more of the in-game story (ie, Drusera's plotline and Vault of the Archon). It would be a darn shame to push that back to Drop 7.

@ministabber
 
You claim "no new drops till AFTER F2P"
 
Dev says "No... F2P is part of Drop 6, we're not stopping anything"
 
F2P/ Drop 6 seem to still target the quarterly drop update schedule.
 
What.. exactly are you raging about?

Seemed a strange reply, you walked round the ball park to say....yes your right to my previous comments in the thread. I have no doubt once F2P hits we will see a multitude of content, I also have little doubt the game will be dumbed to the ground to compensate and appease new players! Outside of raids Wildstar will no longer be Wildstar, Blizzard choose this road and is losing millions of players...I was one of them, WoW is not losing it's players because it's old, to quote Ghost Crawler “ it turned into a game even your Grandma could play “ nothing more than a facebook game.
If I sound pissed off your right, I've supported Wildstar from the start, the game was a live beta for the first 7 months, and now I'm supporting a model change!!! only time will tell if I'm a wise owl or some dumb monkey, who got taken in by another load of BS from a games studio.

I just dont hope the wait to long for the new Raid, as i heard it will not come until drop 7, if i am wrong that would be great, but that would mean the next raid will come in November and players/guild that farm avatus or are at 8/9 will not wait that long for the new raid...
 
The Boss in a Box was nice, but to be honest, its just one boss.

			Carbine is too busy making a Cash Shop for upcoming F2P, I guess. I, too, want to see what new things await us.

			Bump for a tiny Drop 6 info...:)

			I remember reading a post by TimeTravel saying redmoon raid will not be in the next drop.  So Drop 7 at least, which should be November.  BUT, if there are no new drops coming until f2p, and f2p being the "fall", I don't see Carbine keeping up with the quarterly drops.  Beginning of August would be month 3 (May, June, July) and the drops been very close to 90 days or 3 months.  A target date would be nice to see and possibly a min/max target.  Something would be good.

I love this quote. The best part was the poster it was sent to was feeling so smug. 
 
I wish F2P was coming out sooner but I guess I can wait until September.

So we are going to miss 1 extra month, to bad, it's worth it for millions of players.

You think I'm complaining?  Just commented on the thread and giving the info I know.  Am I right? meh. Millions...I wish but doubt it will be millions, more so million.
 
What I take away from this, is your keeping to the quarterly drop schedule, but adding f2p aspects into that drop.  Maybe adding the cash shop into the game early????? What I see is drop 6 in beginning of August and the full f2p goal/drop 7 is beginning of November, end of October (shades eve!).
 
I would say end of year but I'm sure NCSOFT doesn't want to take away from B&S.  Though if there is another MMO coming out around that time, especially f2p, than can see either going h2h or right after so can steal the players.

{| class="blockquote"
To be fair, Megaservers and some other stuff was inbetween content drops. Has there been official word that the f2p will go paired with a drop? It might be a better idea for them to do a drop, bugfix stuff and then open the flood gates..
 
I dont expect a lot of D6 yet, I just hope they fix the housing bugs :-)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
They said features, so F2P, Cash Shop and hopefully a lot more goodies! 
----
			I want at least 1 of the features to allow for account bound thingys... like pets/mounts/achievements! Then i would totally make a dominion just to steal a chua ball, and then use it with my aurin.... !

			I believe we'll be talking about a few more drop features at e3, so hopefully we'll have some more tidbits for y'all soon =)
