Hey all!
 
For those of you who don’t know, my name is Chad “Pappy” Moore, and I am the Game Director of WildStar. I think it’s safe to say that it’s been a big week for our game! Yesterday we released on Steam, and it’s been very exciting to see all of the new players coming in to check out the game, and joining our awesome community. Nexus is a big, wonderful, and mysterious place, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome you into the family.
 
Some advice to our new players: if you have any questions while you’re playing, don’t hesitate to reach out to us and the larger community for help. Anyone who has played the game will tell you that we have an extremely dedicated and supportive community that is ready to answer all of your questions about WildStar. Our official forums and social media channels are extremely active, and all of them are great places to find information about the game, content updates, and live events. You’ll probably run into some of our developers in-game too, so make sure to come up and introduce yourselves. We like to have fun, and we’re here to make sure that you’re enjoying the game as much as we are.
 
Releasing on Steam is big moment for us, but there are more exciting things that are coming up in the next few weeks and months. We’ve got some new PvP content releasing soon, which will further encourage and reward open world PvP. Two new race/class combinations—Chua Warrior and Aurin Engineer—will be available very soon, along with the ability to change your race and gender in our Chop Shop. We’re also adding multi-queuing to our Content Finder, as well as dropping the faction barrier in most of our instanced content in order to get more of you playing together. Are you a veteran player with a hankerin’ for a max-level alt? There might be some good news on the horizon. And, of course, we’ve got some brand new content—like Redmoon Terror, WildStar’s next unbelievably awesome raid—that’s just about ready for action. Sure, a lot of you are going to be having fun just leveling up (and we hope you enjoy it), but we also have a lot of cool stuff right around the corner.
 
As always, I want to thank all of you for playing WildStar, and being a part of this incomparable community. As I said before, Nexus is a big place, and the adventure is just beginning.

Could we maybe get some more clarification on this? At first glance I saw max-level alt and thought, 'oh no, they going to start selling max lvl boosts in the cash shop.' But then I saw the veteran player thing, so do you have to have a max level character first? Are you going to start copying characters across factions? I'm rolling around in worst-case scenarios over here.
 
I know you can't tell us much, hence the vagueness of the statement, But this line just threw me for a loop!

			Dropping faction barrier for instances? Does that mean expeditions, adventures, dungeons, AND raids?? Cross faction raids would be pretty cool.

			Make sure you word all future info right when talking about instant 50 chars. If there is even a hint of P2W, all the work you've done over the last few months will have been wasted! One of the top questions I get asked by new twitch players..." the game is not P2W is it " ATM I can tell them no!!! But if you cross that thin white line by selling to those just starting the game...I'll stand on every roof top and shout....DON'T PLAY THIS GAME	
----
			Great news on the horizon! :) Can't wait for more.	
----
			Is it possible we could get something spelled out in terms of upcoming content and upcoming events, similar to this?

			My question is, will the shared instancing also apply to PVP? Because as much as I dislike carebearing it up, right now PVP battlegrounds look VERY top heavy on the Dominion side (tons of vets/totally geared out characters queueing while Exiles have a buncha people queueing for the first time/ungeared characters getting stomped) and I'm pretty worried that the PVP scene is going to go back to being as dead as it was a month or two ago. Would be nice to see if mixed up so people don't start declaring the PVP terrible and bail early.

Maybe he just wanted to hint at some upcoming changes to make the game more Alt-friendly? Accountbound dyes, AMP Unlock, Ability Unlock or other good changes? We just have to wait and see.

Good : nothing good about it, pure P2W
Bad : like the devs you then get max level chars with no idea! While most of the community are great when it comes to helping new players, having maybe 3 out of 5 in a vet dungeon, with absolutely no idea what a talent does will be a disaster!!! Resulting in the dungeon queues being populated with P2W players only, they start leaving and moaning the game is hard. Now comes the final stage, to combat this the devs start to nerf content more and more...resulting in the rest of us getting pissed off and leaving......dead game

{| class="blockquote"
I think your "Bad" shows that it isn't P2W.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Because we don't have instant max level for all YET......trust me, it will all end in tears, and there is no going back! 
----
			That's why I gave that part the title "Selling max level chars to new players" then gave a future of what would happen from my experience! Seeing Carbine have not done this yet, your right the game is not P2W and hopefully it will stay that way. It's not just a P2W thing, because it effects all those players who have put years into supporting the game.....Thank you your a great community, but we really don't give a *cupcake*!

Sounds really great.
Can we know if race/gender change tickets will be available for omnibits sale ?
And also, when we will use a race change ticket does our new desired gender will be asked ? For example I prefer female Granoks but male Mordesh so if I want to change from Granok to Mordesh do I also need to take a gender ticket ?
Of course it suppose that race change tickets are more expensive or do not allow to choose the same race you already are...
 
Sorry for my bad english :/

I can pretty much guarantee that won't happen.

Lol why would any1 want to buy a max lvl char...its absurd...if you dont like lvl-ing in this game...well you could have some phyhological problems :) most fun gaming expirience ever. And rly..if some1 does that..i dont mind..Cus people who sell those chars need to buy signature....for bonus xp.They are suporting game.People who just buy max lvl chars...well i dont care about them..perhwpse some1 who doesent have much time to play but loves pvp at max or raiding...idk...its not that important.
 
But what i hope for is not be able to buy max lvl in game.

			Any hints as to when the new class/race combos will be available? Aurin engineer sounds like a great excuse to give the game a whirl again.

			I'm very exiled [Excited] [Exiled] for Wildstar to finally be on Steam!   Community is a big deal for me personally and hearing that there was a population booster-shot courtesy of Valve really tightened my wingnuts.	
----
			
I just started playing a few days ago and i'm having an absolute blast! long term mmorpg nerd here and tbh havent had heard of wildstar before... sad i missed it all the months.
 
Wishing the best that this game sees more continued success with new players from steam now. its well deserved!
 
cheers and tell your friends to give it a try everyone! 	
----
			Welcome! And don't make friends with the holo-crypt guy. A shame really, such a decent fellow...but no-one wants to hang out with him.	
----
			I am so glad to discover Nexus! This planet is absolutely amazing!!	
----
			So someone told me that there is only one developer left in Wildstar. Is this true ? If so how old is the fact the game . I ask this because I was a devoted player to city of heroes which NC soft decided to close a abruptly leaving it's Fanbase pissed off . I enjoy playing WildStar and took a chance with this game because I like the way it looked, felt and the housing. I really hope NCsoft does not plan to do what they did to city of heroes I would be very upset and wouldn't never purchased anything that and NCsoft decides to make in the future if there are other developers still with the game I enjoy the work that you do and the current stuff that you brought out keep up the good work

Is there ever going to be a new a new expansion? Please have one soon. The game is getting boring.  :huh:
