WildStar is speaking up once again. The Steam release is still upcoming and soon there will be more information.
Release on Steam Coming, Major Statement as Well
The last few days have been pitch black for all WildStar fans, as nearly a third of the developers at Carbine have been laid off. As it turns out, these employees were primarily responsible for dungeons, raids, and PvP – areas that were initially touted as “hardcore.” The fans’ concerns are clear, as many now fear that WildStar will only be “milked” before the servers are shut down in the near future.
At least the Game Director Chad Moore provided some pushback, announcing on Reddit that the release on Steam is still planned for the upcoming spring.
He also revealed on Twitter that a major post addressing the current issues and the future of WildStar will be written to the community again during the upcoming week. The fans are eagerly awaiting it and hope that it will not just be “marketing fluff.”
Raid Guilds Demand “Clean Work Until the End”
There is great concern among the remaining raid guilds in WildStar. The leadership of the guild Enigma wrote a lengthy post on Reddit, clarifying that the guild still hopes for the release of the raid “Redmoon Terror,” which is announced with the upcoming patch. For weeks, the guild has only been farming the existing raids to optimally prepare for the new raid, which has long ceased to be “work and no fun.”
At the end of the post, there are even more direct words and demands to the remaining developers:
“For once in your life – finish what you damn well started! WildStar can now go under in two ways, either pathetically gasping and whining, or the final patch will be clean. There is still the opportunity to end this game with dignity.”
Harsh words that can somehow be afforded, as Enigma has tried numerous raids on the test realm and has almost taken over the QA work here. Other raid guilds have joined this opinion and hope that at least the next patch will deliver what it promises or that one will at least receive a statement soon on what the future looks like now.
