== Content ==
			So I was wondering when we will be told about the launch day of drop 3, I would say the nexus report, but to my knowledge that has been revamped to "0 to 50" Would we get it there, WHEN CARBINE WHEN

			Its being tested now. So far it looks pretty good, but there are still some issues (the new harvest node icons are terrible). If the Devs are in fact listening to feedback and not just looking to rubber stamp the build, its going to take at least 2-3 weeks to fold in even one round of feedback and put it up for testing again before promoting to Live.

			They did say late Oct/Nov, so until it passes November, it seems best to wait it out.

Really hope something as minor as that doesn't push it back 2-3 weeks.  Personally I'm playing WoW as well and would like to enjoy it before I start the 90-100 grind for Warlords of Draenor.  Things like graphics for harvest nodes can be patched in during weekly patch fixes and aren't impacting the game enough to warrant a pushback on the rest of the content.
----
			MAYBE next week or the week after if things go well...	
----
			Can we NOT build unrealistic expectations? There is a TON of contentious stuff going on with the DPS role overhaul. All 6 classes have 20+ patch notes each. That rarely comes off in one try... Give them (at least) one more build after this one. We'll all be happier with the results.

			'When it's ready'. Honestly considering they pushed dates and changed how often they will bring out the Drops + layoffs/employees leaving at Carbine/NSoft - We won't know until it's actually being delivered and it's most likely will be pushed back considering the history so far.

This patch was up for a month before they took it down... it does not need another month. Wildstar needs this drop today... not next week and definitely not 1 more month

Why you playing a decade old tab targeting game?

Even though they need to try to fix all the issues before release, there's the Christmas shopping season to consider, because if they don't fix all the current issues and December 25th arrives, the game will be dead by June 3rd, 2015.
 
However, it might be necessary to "re-launch" the game even after they fix it, because the original launch was such a failure. The name "Wildstar" has really gained a bad reputation the last 6 months, as has Carbine Studios. A name change for both may be the best option to "clean the slate". I'm thinking "Nexus" or "Planet Nexus" for the game but I'm not sure what to rename the company.

			You'll know when Drop 3 is coming because the Community team will start their 2-3 weeks of hype building. There will be changes to the website, there will be a Nexus Report (it's not gone, it has just become "when we have things to talk about"), and there will be articles on the gaming sites and interviews.None of that has been happening, so basically stop guessing/expecting/bargaining with regard to Drop 3. They've publicly acknowledged that rushing Drops that weren't totally ready is part of what got them where we are now, and they're not going to do that again if they can help it. Trying to convince them it's ok to go with some pretty important bugs still in play will not work.

			Could be any Tuesday from now onwards.

iam presuming mid-late November.
 
don't expect to bring in a huge player base back ingame. things like this ive seen in other mmos and it really dosent change things unless you bring in an expansion or change model.
 
the Internets has ruined wildstars peak interest. at least itll keep the current players ingame- like myself.

			I hope all of you complaining about the delays have logged into the PTR done some testing and submitted tickets.   Sure, push it out now, it's been sitting on PTR for weeks untested, but that's cool, we need it now.

What history so far? Delaying a patch once...

I agree, wish they would take the game down. Sell it to blizzard... have their devs work on it for 6 months then relaunch it as a new title... similar to what FFXIV a realm reborn did

Btw, in the rules for the pumpkin carving contest, it is mentioned that there will be a Nexus Report on November 4th.  Since they've said that Nexus Reports are being saved for special events like drops, I think there is a good chance that drop 3 will be coming out that week.
 
Nevermind, looks like it was a missed edit.  November 4th is explicitly a Zero to Fifty livestream, meaning the earliest possible we will see Drop 3 is probably the week after.

Considering next WoW is next month, see it either:
A. Release same date to compete
B. Release a week later 18th, so can "steal" players back
C. Not release end of November because of Thanksgiving and well, with drops come bugs and people have to be there to fix them and I don't think Carbine is that    cold to not let employees days off.
D. Whenever they feel like it.  But I think it was a dev that said when a build hits the PTR, it's about 2-3 weeks before it will hit live.

It would be nice to get Drop3 before I down Ohmna so I can get at least some use out of the purple gear in my bank.
 
The reality is that Drop4 is the real chance of a 'relaunch'. Drop3 is just undoing the damage of RNG runes which never should have gone live.

In a word: Content. 
 
And seriously, action combat is overrated especially when I'm trying to focus that one mob so that I can see its bloody health (none of the plate addons quite get it right).

			Soon™...

Drop 3 may be a solid foundation for Drop 4: relauch. Once Draenor excitement wears off, with enough marketing, comeback initiatives, additional solo content, new 20-man raid, retuned DS (hopefully) and itemization overhaul Wildstar can draw everyone back in and even more. My 6/6 guild went into a hibernate yesterday with a promise to come back on D4 release. If you factor out WoW, there is no serious competition, Carbine should capitalize on it.
I have faith in them and don't want Wildstar to be the last western themepark MMO therefore going to keep subscription going and advise everyone to do the same.

Problem being... The gear itemization isn't in Drop3, there will just be a once off, re'rng the rune slots...
 
Also when they do re'itemize stuff, they won't be changing what's already in the game.
