[Preview] WildStar: Omnicore 1 Brings Combat, Puzzles & Lore (Oh My!)

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

The team at Carbine is hard at work bringing some new content to WildStar. We got a sneak peak at some of the projects there and what fans can expect to see in the upcoming releases. With the lore of Nexus finally coming out from behind the curtain, Carbine has some plans for solo content as well as a new high level zone which players can check out. Stephan Frost, who gave us the demo, stressed the boost in solo content which looked and played almost like an RPG.

    YES! solo content!,

    solo content for an mmo?- yah yah well, as a casual player i welcome this. we need more endgame solo content.

    I dont like grouping up every night for a vet run, sometimes i like to explore solo content. this sounds perfect!

    shiphand vet missions are also int the works-and happy abt that too- hoping the rewards are upto par!

    I would play this game if it ran on my i7/660ti machine. I know that's not exactly cutting edge tech these days, but it runs everything else just fine. barely 20 fps at best in WildStar. I don't get it.

    "The new content also focuses a lot on working with some of the major faction NPCs you have met in the game before."

    Oh, jeez! Ok, who dies this time? Don't let it be Kit, please, not Kit!!

    Whoever told you that there will be no new content, was lying to you.  It's just not once a month like they said they would try to do.  Did you just read that from a hater or something?

    Bravo Carbine... Nice to see that they are branching out and as promised they keep the content a coming!  I may just resub since these guys are the only company that really seems to care about what users actually want.

    because carbine is terrible at optimizing their own game

    for a company composed of veteran MMO developers, you think this is something that would have been a clear priority for them. but seeing how so many other aspects of the game were mishandled, it doesn't surprise me really

    I have a strange feeling sometime in the next 4-6 weeks we'll hear about WS going B2P or F2P. I'm thinking that's why they are holding back. Oct massive drop of content plus the Halloween content with a F2P drop in. Maybe ? Might be right choice, maybe not ! But I do see people coming back in the next couple months.

    1)best action fast paced mmorpg combat  i have ever seen after tera(whether you can handle it or not) WARNING FOR NOOBS, CASUALS, WHINERS AND HATERS: don't enter wildstar if you can't aim/dodge or have high reflexes, it is challenging not like any other game you have played each and every CC SKILLS can be dodged or countered with a diffrent mean whether it is disarm ( you have to jump and run to take your disarmed weapon from ground,stun (just spam f key not a very good counter but np),knockdown( use the dodge button), blind( use cc debuff skill), tethered (destroy the tether) and more can't remember

    2)best housing system until now in any game i have ever seen( you can even have secret dungeons to enter for yourself and your neighbors only to loot O_O, low gravity mountains and full customizable/editable items)

    3)new ideas (paths, classes(medic, spellslinger and esper), new races( mordesh(zombie like), mechari(robot like), chua(hamster like) ) all in a sci fi cartoonish humourish themepark niche hard core mmorpg called wildstar

    4) best pve i have ever seen in any game you got lots of things to do (  challenges,quests,dungeons,adventures,raids(20 and 40 men),jumping puzzles and dailies) within different zones and monsters

    5) i would say their pvp too is enourmous it is HUGE (3 different battlegrounds, 1v1,3v3,5v5 arenas, 40v40 warplots and world pvp between opposite factions)

    6) the limited action set + amps+ tiers + role(dps,heal and tank) makes you different than any other guy with the same class you are

    7) deep crafting system (mining, relic hunter, weaponsmithing,tailoring, cooking, gathering, harvesting, can't remeber the rest

    8)best business model considered to be the second game that uses that model after eve online you simply buy the game but then you can get something called CREDD easily from in game gold and pay your monthly fee so you can simply play it free to play

    9)with the quickest fixing and balancing response i have ever seen in any mmorpg believe me the DEVS ARE LISTENING AND HONEST

    10)cinematics,dev speaks, trailers are on their site ( watch them and you will get everything you want to know)colours and art work are amazing maybe for me but it might shut off some of you

    ..Thanks for reading and those were my pros for wildstar please stay  tuned for my cons on wildstar

    When Megaservers are up, and more casual content such as these solo raid type scenarios are introduced I will surely resub. Until then I'm enjoying Reaper of Souls more then I thought I would.

    Since you're such a pro player can you provide us with some info regarding your pve or pvp progress in Wildstar or elsewhere? 

    Furthermore, you should visit the forums and read a long post made by an officer of Death and Taxes regarding the state of the game. You do know who these guys are i presume. Feel free to leave a reply to said post telling him that he is just an unskilled noob.

    Hmmmm? Progress ? Don't tell me by progress you mean gear ? Cuz if so, then I guess you got lost between what is a real pro in this game and what is a gear grinder (note: you can be a pro player on lvl 15 with your high reflexes aiming/dodging and shitty items not saying that I'm lvl 15 nor saying that you got high reflexes too O.o in the matter of fact I am a lvl 50 stalker/soldier/mechari on server Eko /eu/pve and am pretty well geared actually from raids I am even trying to build my pvp gear just got 2 pieces from 1800 but then again gear is nothing compared to being pro or skilled you can get your gear eventually if you are just hanging with a very skilled guild cuz OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE CLEANING YOUR SHIT" secondly as for DnT guild , well I can't blame them disbanding their guild the only issue they faced was low pop nothing else it seems, but they announced it pretty early 2/9/2014 which is before trying the game after megaservers announcement , note (DnT is a big guild originaly made for wow from 2004 and they were in na/pergo server in wildstar , pretty much the ones who left wildstar might go back to wow after WoD expansion ) so question is why will I call them noobs/unskilled without me playing with them or even watch them in combat o.O??? Pretty stupid phrase there don't you think ??? !!!!
