Why the fucking fuck do you need a closed beta to go f2p?
The game is released for many months now.

Nah, it's going to be a huge jump in players, so they're probably doing some stress testing.
And of course nothing says 'Free Advertising!' than a good old beta

I read that they were working on those that paid previously to be allowed beta access... I still see no further mention of this.

I really hope they do the F2P right. This game is amazing, only reason I didnt played more is the montly sub vs the time I actually played.

There already is a f2p FAQ for ages:
http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/2015-05-28-wildstar-is-going-free-to-play-heres-all-you-need-to-know/
Scroll down to see the limitations of the f2p model. The auction house and commodities trade house limits seem to be the most annoying limitation.
The exp and credit gain rate doesn't bother me. IF it is like at release, and they don't actually slower the gain at f2p release.

They know how to make a good mmorpg at least, NCsoft. When they closed down City of Heroes quite a few players were upset about it because it had a dedicated active user base still playing the game. I had returned to the game a few months prior and was still enjoying it too. I guess they shut it down to concentrate on this game instead.

I'd be amazed if this game survives another year before having the plug pulled on it. They lost so many players early on that I guess will never give it a second chance. A shame really as it had huge potential and was great fun despite the flaws.

For me it was the leveling grind that made me quit, it's just too much and too slow.

The leveling was ok, do you mean the other things you needed to level to be able to raid? If so that is all changing so people can raid easier, no more 40 mans its all 20 mans for big raids now as well.
Lots of other changes. But the panel at carbine fail to tell you whats changed and just keep mentioning new tutorial over and over. When there is much more worth knowing change wise.
Some snippets from a guy that put together changes they should of mentioned.
| Quote: | We´ve changed our raiding conecept: No 40 players raid anymore! Every raid is for 20 players now. Did you have problems with the attunement quest?
No worry! You don´t have to do so many time-consuming different things anymore. It´s really easy to go raiding now. And by the way: We've updatet all world bosses
on Nexus. They are open world raid bosses for 20 players now with unique mechanics and really usefull loot.
You don´t like raiding or pvp? Therefore you had nothing to do in the end game? No worry! We´ve added a huge amount of end game stuff into the game.
There are lot´s of new solo dungeon, we have collectable pets now, a new costume system, three new zones for level 50 with daily quests, events, world bosses, challenges, story, amazing rewards and more! And if you like housing ... holy chua ... we´ve added so many new decor items, FABkits, buliding blocks and new features for your housing plot!
Since the release a lot has happened to the performance. We are improving our client with every major content update. Of course we are not finished because you can improve it further and further!
We know PvP wasn´t fun a long time! But we've changed a lot on itemization, scaling mechaincs, rewards, cheating, bugs and other pvp aspects! Some weeks after the F2P transition we will start PvP Season #2 and we think this will be a really good fresh start for the pvp of WildStar.
Since the release of WildStar we've released 5 major content updates with hundret pages of patchnotes. We've collected a lot of player feedback and our priority was to improve many of the negative aspects of the game. We've changed so much! It´s an other game with the same art style now. If you left the game shortly after the release. You have to come back and see what has changed so far. There are so many new things to do for every type of player and it´s all for free soon!
You are a Lore-Freak! We've started the "Nexus Saga" with a bunch of deep new lore, an awesome solo story dungeon and there will coming a lot more ... |
| Quote: | You improved the dungeon medal system really well. It´s not perfect but players can see what to do now!
But what´s about adventures? I guess ... 85% of the wildstar players don´t know what to do to get a silver or even a gold medal
in Malgrave Trail or Crimelords. We have to look in the tutorial section of the game to get this information ... Why? Why is it possilbe
to improve the dungeon medals but not the adventure medals?
You've added the new Content Finder in Drop #6 with the "Suggested" section. THIS is an REALLY AWESOME idea and totally poorly implemented!
First of all it looks ugly, I hope for an UI update with the next PTR patch. Secondly it offers not really useful information. Visit this Dungeon, visit this battleground ... etc...
While leveling it´s okay! But at level 50 you need to guide new players! In my opinion the time of "read a guide on fansites" or "watch videos" is over. Most players are lazy
and don´t want to surf the internet for information. Some examples:
Add catgegories like "Raiding", "Open World", "Dungeons", "PvP", "Solo" and inform players what to do.
Raiding: Explain World Bosses, explain the Attunement, explain different raids and how to get into them, explain what else you should do for raiding (min itemlevel etc.)
Open World: Show level 50 questing zones, explain events like R-12 or Lightspire ...
Dungeons: Explain the "workflow" of Shiphands -> Adventures -> Dungeons, explain the itemization, explain medals again etc.
PvP: Explain the itemization of different pvp modes, how to start ...
Solo: Shiphands, World Story (OmniCore etc.)
Other: Collect additional AMP and Skill points, explain different currencies (glory, elder gems ...)
What I mean is ... WildStar has so many cool features and amazing end game content. But lots of players don´t know how and where to start.
Additionally add a "What´s new" section into the content finder and list all new things and major updates of the latest Content Drop.
The "show people what to do" thing brings me to the next topic: Loot tables! It´s only my opinion but I think I´m not alone with it. It would be really helpfull to know
where I can get better gear! But it´s not possible because there are no really good and correct loot tables for Dungeons, Raids etc. And the major problem: all of your itemization changes have changed the loot tables as well multiple times. It´s not fun to run dungeons, adventures and raids hundret of times without to know where I can find better gear.
We also can find a really good example for "lack of information" in the Drop #6 overhaul of the challenge system. If you complete a challenge on PTR ... NOTHING! happens! That´s totaly bad for new players. They will think: Why the hell did I do that? Oh wait there is a chat message ... "120 Challenge points" .. what?! Nevermind ... crazy thing ... Story ends! No new player will understand challenges although it is such a great system. Why isn´t it possible to add a notification like the contract progress popup on the screen. Hey you've won 150 challenge points .. you need 10 more points for a new reward .. click here so see it .. or click here to collect the reward ...
Another good example: the new objective tracker. I love it, but there is one big problem: It only shows objectives in the range of X. That means the following: If you accept a quest in thayd for Grimvault you won´t see it in the objective tracker! If you accept lots of quests in a quest hub of .. malgrave ... and there is a quest at the end of the zone .. you won´t see it in the objective tracker! A bigger problem: path missions! With the datachron it was possible to see all active path missions and where to go. That´s impossible now! You have to walk threw the whole zone (multiple times) to find and complete them. That´s more than annoying .. it´s terrible.

Nah it was the leveling itself, the style they had and the progression was like vanilla wow. Just couldn't be arsed anymore having done one huge area but only gained a small amount of level, but that area had like 50 quests or more even.
That was during beta though if I remember it correctly.

I'm surprised it lasted 6 months to be honest. I stopped playing in January after clearing the first raid, just didn't see it lasting long enough to put any more time in.

Tabula Rasa I actually enjoyed a lot - I was miffed when they pulled the plug that early.
