As a Wildstar player, I think a lot of things get lost in the shuffle.  With people complaining about classes, crashes, bugs, etc, I was recently asked why I'm still so excited about Drop 3.  Well, I haven't even had a chance to get into the new content yet, and I'm already happy.
 
As soon as I logged in, I saw that my Mineral Deposit was stacked with ore.  I noticed it because the ore is showing up red instead of green on my housing plot.  A quick glance at the minimap now shows where the items are in a much more easily-discernable color.  I hopped into a party to help a guildie, and the face on the minimap was canted at a different angle and was much larger, making it much easier to keep track of him among the other icons.  I questioned the use of stacking the condition icons next to sprint, but once I dove underwater and nailed the sprint button, it made perfect sense.  Even in just general use, everything moves a lot smoother now.  It was weird to see; it was almost glassy, but it was excellent to run around with.
 
I spent all of last night in housing working on my guild project.  The resized advance control window was great, but I'm REALLY appreciating the numeral scale option.  Little things like having the copy transform option default to checking everything instead of nothing and reworking the transformation controls actually helps me quite a bit.  And best of all, my unblemished bulletproof streak continues; I arrived apparently after the server issues were sorted and haven't run into a single new bug yet.  With all the complaints, I can't help but be a little arrogant that I seem to skate through this game without having any real issues with it.  I suppose we'll see what happens when I get into more logistics, but even the easily-dismissed UI and QOL changes have really pleased me.  I love it when Carbine improves something I wasn't even thinking about.
 
And then I started playing with the plot music.  I have to find a good one for the Caster.
 
I can't wait to hit the Defile sometime in the next few days so I can actually see the new content, but even as someone who didn't and who spent all of last night in low-level zones and his own housing plots, I'm not disappointed with what we got.  Hell, it's more than we usually get in quarterly WoW or EVE patches by far if the zones are half as fun as good as people have been telling me already.  I'm totally on board!
 
So yeah, so far so good.  Thumbs up, Carbine!  Unless something in Omnicore blows up a RAM stick, it looks and sounds like I'm getting my moneys' and times' worth out of this one.

I'm sorry, is this sarcasm and supposed to be funny? Because I really cant tell if youre joking or soo far away on the moon. Or we in fact may be playing different games.
 
Just right of the bat - the gadget bug, its the FIRST thing you IMMEDIATELLY notice when you login, since your hotkey is just GONE... 
 
Nice try though, Carbine employee.

You mean that bug where it doesn't work in towns, but perfectly fine in dungeons?
Cause Chua is using gadgets just fine in dungeons with cooldown visible and all.

			Loving the crisp new UI changes. Didn't even know most of it was going to be a thing. What's this? The gadget hotkey isn't visible? It still works fine, for clarification. Oh well, that's an old bug. They'll probably fix it again soon and we won't have to suffer from it but we'll get to keep the great new UI upgrades. So I don't see much of a problem here. Big drop thus many bugs and most of them will be gone soon. It's really not that big of an issue, unless you want it to be an issue.

Shhhh, let him vent. Some people have to get their hate out.
 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Also, you like housing right? Do you do gardening? How are your seeds and sproutings doing after you plant them? All fine and dandy?
 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Let me make a second attempt and rephrase this: are you, in fact, stating that there are absolutely no bugs in the game after the patch? And if so, have you noticed your gadget icon and cooldown missing? 
 
----
			
And again, I'm not talking about bugs here, bugs will always exist, humans are not robots - they cant do stuff perfectly. 
 
The message I am trying to deliver here is: stop fanboism, its really annoying...
 
{| class="blockquote"
 
How about you stop trolling. He said "And best of all, my unblemished bulletproof streak continues; I arrived apparently after the server issues were sorted and haven't run into a single new bug yet." Yes, this may be a little hyperbole, or maybe he JUST DIDN'T NOTICE. 
 
Going on and on about a well-known issue and trying to stir up crap because someone is possibly wrong on the internet is just... stupid.
----
			
I never said there were no bugs. Neither did Vic. He said he was lucky in that he hadn't encountered any. And considering he spend most time on his plot he may have not noticed his gadget missing.
 
Some people just genuinely enjoy the game and want to share that with others Sicarius. If it so happens you take offence at that and want to enter in a discussion you may want to frame your posts less aggressive, mocking and dismissive if you want people to give you good replies.

{| class="blockquote"
And may have not noticed his seeds disappearing without sproutlings appearing? :-) 
 
You are misinterpreting what was said though, you should read his post again more accurately. 
 
Denying the obvious is not constructive and shouldnt be written, this game doesnt need hype or appraisal it needs contstructive thinking and responsive patchwork. It is nothing but annoying to see people fanboying about stuff that is clearly not working as intended.

Please guys, lets keep the insults to one another out of it.
 
Comment on the game, great, we want to encourage that - commenting on one another not so much. Not everyone is going to experience the same bugs and same issues as everyone else, we each have our own style of gaming and you're going to run into different things. If you experience a bug or are having difficulties with something please don't hesitate to post it in the bug section of our forums so that we can investigate it. We also have a pretty detailed thread of top known issues pinned there in specific related to drop 3. We do also have a drop 3 feedback thread where you can post all of your concerns. 
 
Thank you.
- Team WildStar

			Oh trust me, I read diligently. And whilst constructive feedback is always a must, praising people that spend a long time working hard to make a lot happen is not a wrong thing to do. We are appreciative of their efforts, and share that with them.

Am I venting? I have asked you a direct question and you gave misdirected answer to another person completely ignoring my legitimate question, just making me believe even more that you are in fact a carbine employee, deployed here for hype purposes.
About the hate comment - I said I love the game, what hate, bro?
 
Let me make a second attempt and rephrase this: are you, in fact, stating that there are absolutely no bugs in the game after the patch? And if so, have you noticed your gadget icon and cooldown missing?

But wait, there are no bugs? B)

And yes, I'm excited for this drop. I won't get to explore the Defile zones until Friday evening though. I might stream it :)
Everything else is so crisp and pretty. I'm happy for what we have. Will I stay happy for long, who knows. I just know I've got my guild and that's all I need.

Dont get me wrong though, I love this game, but credit is due where it is actually DUE!

{| class="blockquote"
I wish I was a Carbine employee.  I could use the money...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
God me too. And they'd never fire me, cause I'm awesome.
 
To keep it on topic..
I'm not nearly as awesome as this drop.
----
			
It may be part luck and part importance of the affected issue. There's plenty of bugs, understandably, but the severity of most of them is not very significant. Annoying at most. For me at least. Some might consider it game breaking and others don't even register them.
 
To each their own ey?

That's the most hated part of the Drop 3 for me. Or more specifically the tiny tiny quest text with some weird outline O_o
So I'm not stuck with either a) unreadable text or B) a giant UI. Could someone up an option where I could re-size the quest text without re-sizing my LAS? -_-
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's in interface, IIRC.  I'll snip and show you where it is.  There's an option to make text small, medium, or large.  You're defaulting to medium, believe it or not.  TI think there's an option to make it large, though, if you can't read it.
