It's people complaining on the internet. Nothing new.

I have no DS gear. I can put together adventure groups if I need to (did last night because my wife is getting attuned). LFG channel is helpful. When we have new people join our raid group, we help them get attuned. It hasn't been a problem. My perception in game is very different from yours.

" It’s been quiet on the WildStar front lately,.." kinda sums it up tbh.

its just weird that some other game forums are that much more busy... (gw2, eso, swtor). maybe it's because the games are so bad and empty that people like to go on the forums... who knows! imo. wildstar deserves better. and if it must be at the expense of some players who will "quit" if f2p happens... so be it. (just my opinion of course, i'm still a white knight for wildstar outside of here!)

I also wonder why our forums are so quiet. I wonder what happened to all the posters and viewers on the housing forums; a cool place used to get 1000+ views in a week, now it gets maybe a few hundred. But the thing is, while I feel the forums have become quieter, the in-game population has gone up. I see more active and invested players now than I did two months ago, by a significant amount. So while some are making a correlation (quiet forums = dead game) I'm sitting here wondering why all those active players we do have just don't participate much in forum discussion anymore. And the answer? They probably got tired of reading all the drek about how Wildstar is dying. It's pretty easy for players of WoW or a big title like SWTOR to shrug off criticism. But Wildstar's players are dealing with some bad mojo concerning NCSoft, the launch, the (frequently) undeserved reputation of the game, and the nonstop calls for F2P during a vulnerable time. There comes a point when the rational response to this is to simply play the game you enjoy and forget about all the exhausting expectations and desire for longevity that we MMO players have projected onto video games.

You should be happy really; the "doomsayers" are still paying for and supporting the game, however they're still entitled to their opinion, even if it upsets you a little. I prefer to think of us as realists in this particular situation; there's only 2 sparsely populated servers left so instead of pretending that everything is well and it'll all get better, (which it clearly isn't) we're trying to think of pragmatic ways to help stop this game from vanishing.

It doesn't upset me, it's just that every single post I come into, somewhere where someone is trying to promote positive discussion or trying to have a conversation about the game itself, someone has to come and ram "GO FREE TO PLAY" into it and then everyone else follows suit, and the thread is ruined and yet another argument about whether wildstar's population is healthy or not, whether carbine are going to go free to play or buy to play. There's called having an opinion, and then there's called being disrespectful. The OP of this post expressed twice that they wanted to get back on subject or for his thread to be locked or deleted. Do you think it's fair for people to carry on with their f2p rants when they could put it in their own thread? Before you use this to call me a "f2p hater", I am not. I know full well the problems that this game could well run into and what measures it should take to get out of a hole. Do I think you are entitled an opinion about this? Yes. Is this the place for it? No. On topic: PvP roadmap /waves flags New bg! /flaps hands NEW ARENA PLS /flails NEW SEASON PLSSS /flails madly WITH NEW GEAR /slightly frothing at the mouth AND MOAR HOUSING STUFF!! /is hyped ^ just a few things I'm hoping for... Lets just say, with the last patch with the pvp changes, certainly a lot of the people who were predicting doom when it comes to pvp have been a lot more positive. The sooner we get insight into what's happening the more hype it will cause. Pls timetravel >.>

Sure, but a mechanic does not equal the whole financial strategy of the game being to manipulate players into spending more money than they intended when they decided to play. My only objections to F2P is that I don't want to feel manipulated (and F2P does make me feel manipulated) and I don't want development time that is currently spent on content that warrants my $15 per month going to stuff to try and entice people to spend more money with the game. Honestly, I will try it if it goes F2P and there's a sub option, but if I either run out of content to do or I ever feel even the smallest desire to spend extra money in the game (or there's something that real money buys that is not available to me) then I'll be out. I don't want to think about real life money when I'm playing a video game, and this is extremely important to me.

I'm not saying it's going p2w, that in and of itself is a p2w mechanic. They're gamble bags that can give you legendaries. And it seems some staff agrees with that being a problem seeing as one of the community managers who can see the loottables and didn't like it either, reported it to Carbine to ask for clarification.

So that's what's next. :lol: Well, I'm excited!

I would gladly send 14.99 to Carbine every month, just as a token of my appreciation, F2P or not

Thanks, TT!!

I would imagine that it's possible for hard mode with GA + normal mode gear. Most of this game, at least in my experience, is way more about getting mechanics right than having super high DPS. Super high DPS makes it faster/easier simply because it lets you deal with fewer mechanics (example: 1 add phase for Ohmna vs 3).

It's nice, it might keep players here a bit longer ;) I dont see them coming back for this though.

To be honest i think the biggest population lost is actually the pvpers, i doubt they will ever come back. The new features are great, people will stay for this but there won't be a population boom. Hoping they can keep the people that came here with drop 4 but most have already left it seems. I don't want to sound grim but with every drop or new content release we see a small player increase and the whole forum is happy and saying this might be it, but look were we are now. I love it that Carbine still put so much effort into this game and it's indeed getting better and better all the time, this game deserve a change but i think many have already tried it and so they aren't interested in it anymore :/ Like has been said there are so many MMO's out there these days, wildstar belongs to one of the best for sure. I've no idea how Eso and archage are doing right now...

This. Simply, you summed up the thoughts of every previous and current PVP players in the whole game. Well said. GG. PVP servers and players.
