[Megathread] Wildstar - Now F2P

[Nirawen]

Not sure why they would invite that guild in particular, nothing against them they just don't actually have that many accomplishments, maybe they weren't carbines first choice? .

Hehe...

If being a fan of player housing while still being shut out of the WildStar beta describes you perfectly, then you're going to probably hate everything about this post.

I know some plugs are going to have portals and vendors and shit but is housing going to be interactive like runescape housing (making dungeons and mini games) or is it going to be boring like Rift housing?

[Elim Garak]

It will be something in the middle like: boring dungeons and mini games

Housing is pretty essential and goes beyond even what Rift has done in terms of customization by offering a much wider array of item categories. Expect the feature to rapidly grow with the socket technology to basically allow you to have a tiny piece of the game in your own backyard. The feature will likely be as useful as you want it to be, but it will not bring the entire game into your tiny, instanced world.

All of this is obviously from hearsay and conjecture and not from personal experience...

I think they are claiming they are elitist jerks.

[Maconi]

Condemned was in my Alliance in GW2 (Titan Alliance on Henge of Denravi, I was in the guild Luciform). They were the black sheep of the group (no one really liked them, cocky with no skill to back it up, we were always having to cover for them in PvP because they couldn't handle themselves and then they'd proclaim victory as if they were the ones that did something). We all signed up for WildStar at the same time, but Luciform didn't have enough members at the end (most of the Titan Alliance guilds broke up due to boredom of GW2) to put together a decent "gaming group" app for WildStar. Kinda sad they got in (probably means we would have too ).

We mentioned possible adjustments to body types few pages ago, here is a dev post:

"Hey all! It great to see you guys interested in body types. I'm Matt, the Art and Creative Director here at Carbine. I would like to weigh in on this topic. Character customization is very near and dear to me. It's always a tough call to walk that line between player choice and iconic representation of the races. Because WildStar is a new IP, and no one really knows anything about these races, we tend to lean towards selecting what we think are the more icon versions of these characters. We feel it helps us establish these characters and their traits. Also, like WoW or TF2 we knew that silhouette would also be a strong factor in PVP. That's why we initially decided on one body type per race/gender. It's our feeling that if you can make an Aurin as tall as a human, they just become humans with ears adn tails. Their small size is a defining feature of their race.
[...]
Moving forward, we are currently looking into adding more options for player customization. Height is the easiest one. We allow the design team to use a range in the game that doesn't break the archetype of the characters or the animation (something that easily can happen). So we are considering adding height to the game. We are gonna look into other sliders for body types but I'm worried that we might have to limit it so much that you'd barely notice. They best way is to make them by hand but we don't have the time or resources at the moment. For launch, the body types are gonna stay the same.
