WildStar was an MMORPG that existed from 2014 to 2018, This was a theme park sci fi MMO with cartoon graphics, hardcore PVE content, 2 factions, multiple different races and classes, PVP arena and battlegrounds, crafting, top tier player housing and a light hearted tone that people still miss to this day...In this video I found a WildStar private server and decided to boot up the game to see how it would feel if it was still around to this day.

WildStar Wikipedia Description
WildStar was a fantasy/science fiction massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was developed by Carbine Studios, published by NCSoft. It was unveiled on August 17, 2011 during Gamescom. WildStar took place on the fictional planet Nexus, where a mysterious and powerful race known as the Eldan have disappeared, leaving behind a wealth of technology and secrets for players to explore.
The game was released on June 3, 2014 with a subscription and later changed to free-to-play on September 29, 2015. While it was no longer required to pay for a subscription, those who did were "signature" members, getting a few bonuses such as increased experience/currency gain.
On September 6, 2018, NCSoft announced the immediate closure of Carbine Studios and that WildStar 'would begin the process of winding down'. An exact shut-down date was not given but later stated to be November

peepoPogO
I'm more interested where I can find this private server for Wildstar
NO MENTION OF THE DOG COMPANION? They dont know what theyre doing with this ad LOL
I saw you in a Tower of Fantasy ad xD
I feel like Wildstar would be a perfect candidate for the Final Fantasy 14 treatment. I'd love for it to get a poroper re-release. It had good potential.
Heavy agree if it were rereleased i'd easily have it as my main game. I remember watching the trailers for this game on my dad laptop before having to leave to go pick up my sister from the town fair. I really fucking hope this game gets a rerelease or that the league moba has similar combat.
Agreed
never played it but i remember being excited to check it out and then completely forgetting about it will probably try the private server soon after watching this though
Def a game with tons of potential but the literal only reason the FF14 treatment worked is because it was already a massively successful IP for decades with a huge and loyal audience. As much as I’d like to see it happen a re-release of WildStar would pretty much be guaranteed to flop.
@c b I don't just want for it come back as it was. It was very far from perfect and it lacked a certain... let's call it "x factor" that would give it staying power. I want it fixed. Better than it was before. Not just the same thing.
Out of all the games that have come and gone, this is the one I really miss. I would still be playing it. The combat was fun and the housing was second to none.
Archeage, Battlefield heroes, Metin 2...
@@Dualities Oh god, I had so much fun WPVP-ing in Archeage. Ganking people with your glider etc...
@@hunterkiller9991 with a help of a random friend, I build house on the island, tamed epic pet and got a good cloak looking cosmetics ^^ u could also dive into the depths on your ship and search for tresure... that game was really special yea. sadly pay 2 win and bugs kinda ruined it. Aracheage 2/3 one days need to come back and they need to make game after the Kings avatar animations ith epic arenas, server announcers, good action combat system and mybe even innovations like ability to tame open world monsters as your pet. this is what Final Fantasy should do
Housing second to none? EQ2 and SWG?
@@Dualities Battlefield heroes was so amazing. Too bad it died.
The moment I first logged into the beta I thought "This. This will be my forever game" and until the server shut down it was. It hit all the right notes for me regarding humor, combat, story, and setting. I would absolutely still be logging in if it were up and running. I only had 2 characters with "finished" housing plots so that alone could have kept me coming back indefinitely.
The very same reason why I stopped playing games like these long ago. You grind your life away to content that is one day being deleted. I remember developing enxiety of how long will a game last, will I finish it before they shut down the servers to the point I said F it all I rather preserve time and my sanity ...
I wish these games have a SP option so when they shut it down we get to continue play alone with NPCs and enjoy it as is. Instead of being locked out of it forever and lose everything we had, even tho the data is sitting on our PC or console ...
As you said yourself, there are SO MANY worse MMOs that have not shut down in all those years but Wildstar had to go. It's such an unspeakable shame.
Game had so much potential, combat felt fresh for an MMO. Also all the housing stuff was pretty cool.
Completely agree and miss this game at times.
The World and Lore was Trash.
This felt Like a Game Out of a Random Generator.
Here is the brutal truth. Wildstar is not as good as peoples memories. It had so many bad problems that people seem to just either ignore or forget. Still, id play it again.
If they didnt lean into that were so hardcore schtick and made it casual friendly it wouldnt have died so hard because it was super fun.
@@jonathansoko1085 ok ill bite, name 5 things in wildstar that were terrible.
I am forever salty about Wildstar's fate, while they clearly did some core things fundamentally wrong, everything else was just done so right. Combat, story, housing, art style, music, I've struggled to find MMO's that have topped these since. RIP to an amazing game
art style was 1 of the worst things it did though
@@ghastlyghosties you're out of your damn mind lmao
@NothingIsSomething funny enough I dislike literally every game you listed
@@ghastlyghosties Many millions (if not Billions) of gamers beg to differ.
@@leonidasg2257 cool
Really miss Wildstar. Spent a lot of time in it. Really loved its art style, really loved its combat. It is missed every day.
I miss this game so much. Wildstar had some of the best housing I've ever played around with in the 20 years I've been playing MMOs.
Character movement and art design was awesome. Wish this game never shut down. I'd play it if another publisher picked it up and put it on Steam.
The guy behind the character animations is mike higgins and hes working on the riot mmo, you can see his work on wildstar if you just youtube mike higgins wildstar
Chua Warrior was the best!! Never had so much fan with a character. The animations and art design was brilliant.
@@l0lzor123 They should use similar Chua movement animations for the Yordle race in Riot's MMO.
Wildstar is one of those games that I always wish I had put more time into. Definitely a casualty of NC Soft. Those guys are MMO assassins.
same i wish i had spent more time playing it school was rough though and i couldn't find time sadly then it was shutting down and i'm like "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!" I don't think I played any other NC soft MMO's (at least not to my knowledge) but it's sad when an MMO dies and all we can hope for is the company eventually turns it back on to bank on nostalgia or a private server gets everything back up i think i've been following a wildstar private server waiting for when it comes back to a state i can just dump a ridiculous amount of hours into and not worry about completing 2 zones and then being done for a while
Which makes it funny that they control GW2.
Im afraid in this case the game's death was the dev's fault, not NCSoft's.
While the game had many aspects that were simply incredible (ie. I still consider the dungeons some of the best in the genre even up to this day), some of the design choices and philosophies were simply awful and led to the game's eventual demise.
@@2kaioken Could you explain? Was it hard to trouble shoot or something? I remember the game being a breath of fresh air, but it was the definition of "get good".
@@CLICKINSPREE We'll the crux of Wildstarcs downfall is that beside housing the endgame was mainly geared only to hardcore raiders and no other branch of the mmo community was given much attention to. So all the casuals left the game leaving hardcore players. But hardcore raiders don't really stick to a game for long. It created a sort of downward spiral in their revenue
It feels so weird when you realize that there still are mmos out there that play very poorly, look god awful, have heavy p2w aspects and very low playerbases but wildstar is down. I think that a well done revival with a subscription model / f2p but only cosmetics would definitely have a place in modern mmos.
The company bankrolling Windstar was expecting a WoW killer out of the gate for some reason, and when it was only moderately successful after all the development they put into it their board hit the eject button hard. Canned over half of the dev team only like a month after launch. Fuckin heartbreaking man. Like you said, it could VERY MUCH still be making money to this day, but as Jim Stephanie Sterling likes to say since it wasn't "making literally all of the money" they weren't interested in continuing the project.
@@Ducttapefiend101 I think WildStar was released too early and that terrible performances, more than hardcore end game, killed the game. A real shame.
its really a paradox. game had everything , except good optimazation.... and im tired of ppl who say this game failed bcuz "it supposed to be a wow killer " like stfu.. let other games thrive
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it Thing is they're not wrong.
NCSoft(publisher and parent company of Carbine) was pushing really hard for Wildstar to be a wow killer and when it didnt reach 'wow' numbers, they pretty much pulled all support for wildstar after the launch month even though WS was making a good amount of $$$ and had a good playerbase, even up until its shutdown.
So basically all of Wildstars misfortunes were due to NCSoft, NCsofts ludicrous expectations and total lack of support after launch.
@@Ducttapefiend101which tells you how little they know about WoW. They forget that at launch the original wasn't that successful either as it took them a year or so to be a big hit. They should let the game takes it time, but of course these companies are not as patient as OG blizzard.
Wildstar was one of those precious gems that was a bit too ahead of its time.
Yes exactly. If WildStar came out today it would be a hit.
@@newjerseyjustin I agree. I really wish they would try and relaunch this game. I am pretty sure they would make a profit as long as they continued to support it. Its sad to see how many times that Bless Online has failed and yet they still keep relaunching that piece of trash but a quality game like Wildstar is just gone.
@@wjohnston5950 As someone who played Wildstar back in the day and has read up on why it failed... no if wildstar launched today with the same team they had when they launched the first time it would STILL fail. Mismanagement neutered it from the get-go.
Not at all, it was the opposite. It tried to incorporate aspects long gone from the MMO genre like 40 man raiding. There's a reason they're gone, it doesn't work.
It looks the same as FFXIV in terms of raids and mounts just like you said ahead of it's time. I'd love to play it.
Wildstar is still among my fondest MMO's ever played, if it came back, I'd play it without a doubt on the side. Was always my "guilty pleasure" MMO.
And enjoyed it every time I came back after a while from playing another game or MMO.
I miss the game quite a bit
I absolutely love Wildstar, and I still consider that to be my #1 MMORPG! I have less attention span for gaming nowadays compared to my younger years, but I will play it like crazy if it ever gets a revival.
Little random tidbit I remember:
There's a side quest where you had to help out a couple. After finishing the quest they tell you that they're having financial difficulties after paying all their debt, but they just recently took a side gig to help out with their income issues. They never tell you what that side gig is because it's pretty much pointless at this point, but when you go to explore their bedroom you'll see cameras on each side of the bed suggesting that the couple have been... recording their private moment, quite possibly live streaming it for money. And there's no other room that's like that. It's one small detail I'll never forget LOL!
lmao that is hilarious!
LMAO!!! Yeah, I remember that room. The humor in Wildstar was so off canter and amazingly in your face tongue and cheeky ... I always loved that you got heckled every time you had to rez .... lol ... good times. Great game
Yes I 100% would still be playing Wildstar if it was still out. It was refreshing from the classic fantasy theme. The combat was very engaging and felt powerful. Sure it had it's problems, but the game had plenty of well thought out systems and fun gameplay. As you said there are plenty of other problematic MMOs out there that are still running. I constantly miss this game and every time I go on my MMO binge I can't help but to miss this game. I can still remember playing my character on launch day.
I remember trying it when it first came out and thinking it was alright. Sometime later I came back and REALLY got into the game, the dungeons in the end game were amazing. As someone who does a lot of healing in MMOs, this game was the most fun I think I've ever had healing.
I really hope a studio pursues the rights to revive this game. I'd love to play again.
I've never seen this game before, I've only heard about it from people reminiscing about it. However after seeing the animations I have to agree that I love how fluid some of them seem and the characters seem really alive and "animated". This kinda gives me more hope for the Riot MMO since the Senior Animator for that game Mike Higgins, also worked on Wild Star apparently.
Yes, he is working on the LoL MMO, he also worked on HotS. All great animations.
It reminds me of ratchet & clank
@@songoku6067 Yeah it reminds me of those old cartoony playstation games like Rachet and Clank or that one with the fox/raccoon thats a thief.
@@FaLLiNRoGue Yeah that one.
I've always like the scifi theme and cartoony aesthetic. It was really unique. I definitely would still come back to this game from time to time
Yeah I like it too. It calls back to stuff like old PS Ratchet&Cland or Jax&Dexter. I think Wildstar hits that style quite perfectly.
@@Olodus thats exactly why i loved it so much its pretty much ratchet & clank online
This is one of my favorite MMOs of all time. The story, the worldbuilding, the gameplay, it was simply amazing. I miss it dearly.
I really miss Wildstar, it had such a great vibe and was so tongue in cheek. I really wish it would get an official re-release...
The combat of wildstar was so unique, healing was challenging but very rewarding, dps was interesting to play not just sit and press buttons, and the pvp was just hilarious fun for all the crap going on.
I miss this game and I would love for it to revive, but sadly ncsoft is the killer of niche mmos.
It wasn't making money, at the end of the day. NCSoft isn't going to fund a game that is in the negative.
for a minute there, you gave me hope that someone in ncsoft lost their mind and did something we all want
I was just talking about this game with a few friends and we all agreed that if Wildstar was still around we would all jump back into it and play. We played it at launch and it was a blast.
I wish I could get my OG Wildstar house back. I built a fully functional skatepark for the hover boards with ramps, half pipes, and full pipes. It was so fun, and people would legitimately just come randomly visit to skate with me, many of them were strangers.
I played with Wildstar from the headstart to the last days last hour in 2018 November. Wildstar was unique, however the developer team killed the potential. The world was awesome all of them were great but with some stupid decisions, they collapsed the whole community day by day. For the first time it was too hardcore for casual (literally complete guilds couldn't go to raid for months, then when a lot of people unlocked it it was hilariously buggy. Which was one of the most crucial fault in a game where the positioning and accuracy were the most important thing because of the telegraph system), later the whole game became too casual for anybody. Pvp was fun but unbalanced. With a better management Wildstar would have been he best MMORPG of all time.
I 100% agree that Wildstar would have been the top dog on the MMORPG market if it had gotten the care it deserved. I still wonder to this day how the hell NCSOFT could kill what could've been their best selling game and moneybank to date. Had everything from incredibly responsive and always fun combat, great zone designs, incredible exploration, loads of different types of group content, pvp, incredible marketing and so much more and lets not forget the best housing to date from anything out there on the market!
if you havent noticed, there is no middle ground, it is either too hard for the piss baby casuals, or they cater to said piss babies and it becomes a sesame street game.
Ane game would be the best game if thing we're done right... If this was like that and that was like this...
@@redlion420 There is a middle ground, it's called having options, different types of endgame content. Wildstar didn't have that.
I didn't expect a Wildstar video in 2022.. I do really miss this game!!
I really enjoyed Wildstar! I made it to the end-game raids but had to stop before finishing it due to grad school, but I really liked the combat and the abilities system. It was really fun to be able to customize things on the fly to add a dot or a stun/interrupt to your abilities. The story was also super cool and engaging. I was really sad they weren't able to flesh it out more. I was completely engaged in the game up until the developers had a huge announced event to celebrate some milestone (I can't remember if it was 6 months or 1 year) of the game being release. They made a bunch of posts and had sever announcements leading up to it. My guild was so hyped we called off a raid to see the event going on and it ended up being literally a stress test in anticipation of going as f2p. Absolutely demolished the vibe and motivation. I don't think I raided another night after that and the guild quickly fell apart as people jumped ship.
Would definitely play it again. I loved it on release. I think the Ratchet & Clank vibe just made sense for an MMO. It seemed super fresh and unique for its time, especially the classes and profession mix-ups. I think this could have been one of the best console MMOs as well due to the design and combat system. A shame nobody wanted the rights.
I'm still hoping for a revival to this day. Unfortunately back when it released I only played it for one month because the system requirements were way to high for my old PC.
The game wasn't very well optimzed and was far more demanding than it actually looked to be.
I really hope your video will give this private server and/or an official revival a big push! Thanks for covering this gem
Same for me. Was only able to run it with 18 fps or so. Was not worth paying monthly for it. When it went f2p I had slight better pc, was able to run it 23 fps and actually played it some time, mostly pvp
it ran fine for me, maybe you just have a mac
i specifically went and bought a PC for Wildstar since my laptops specs were not enough
Me too. I felt it was great but at the time i played with a laptop, i had hard time completing any jumping challenge because auf the low fps.
Yup. I think this was what hurt the game the most. I had a pretty good system for the time and the game ran like ass. I loved the game but the performance was just too bad so I quit. I'm sure many others quit for the same reason.
I would play it. I think the combat was a little ahead of it's time, but in today's market, the ability graphs on the ground are in almost every game. The game has held up well in graphics, story, and types of content.
? the combat was extremely similar to GW2 and FFXIV also did the ability graphs on the floor thing FROM THE START.
@@AzureRoxe GW2 got the telegraphs from Wildstar devs! GW2 and WS did some collaborations since they were under the same publisher.
You only add red carpets if you are unable to create telegraphs. Just a sign of bad devs.
@@AzureRoxe GW2 combat feels different though. Wildstar is full action combat but in GW2 a lot of attacks are still auto targeting. In Wildstar even the basic attacks are to be aimed and always AOE I think.
@@DevlVergil I know that the first MMO that tried to use pure action combat (before internet was good enouth to support it).
just plain failed as soon as the ping was greate then 200MS so they changed it to a wow style combat system and ping of 500 was still working not great but at least you could play at that ping something you could not do whit the action one.
Daaaaamn, that hit home for me. I LOVED Wildstar when it came out, it was so close to being absolutely amazing. It was so awesome in so many ways and then you fell completely flat in so many others. This game really deserves a reboot.
I LOVED WildStar! I was heartbroken when it failed. While it was a victim of its own misguided marketing and hype, the treatment it got was unfair. I would support it again if it got the Realm Reborn treatment.
My favourite MMO, and I've played most of them. Had an Engineer and a Spellslinger doing raids, and every other class at mid level. Such a fantastic game, which is surprising considering the development hell it went through. I often wish that some enterprising publisher would ressurect the game and put an experienced team behind it. Thank you for the nostalgic video!
Wildstar will always hold a soft spot in my heart. It's one of the games which just puts a smile on your face as it's so goofy and fun to play. In other words; yes, I'd still be playing it on off too!
I miss this game so much!
I was lucky to play since the beta and would still play untill this day.
I sadly never got to play end-game as much because life.. But I thoroughly enjoyed the PVP from time to time!
And as someone who also played WoW a lot but never liked it's PVP, it was very refreshing.
The action style combat made it so much more enjoyable for me.
I really really wish this game will return one day or that something comes a long that play similair
I remember playing a lynx boy Esper and it was so fun. I was genuinely interested in the fantasy/sci fi setting that mixed magic and tech and was excited for the worldbuilding. It's just a shame that it shut down
I absolutely loved this game. I had a medic and a warrior. My medic was SAVAGE in PVP. I honestly only stopped playing because I couldn’t convince my friends to play, but I was having a blast.
Same, im the only one who was hyped AF for it but in the end: no friends - no game
it came at a time where WoW was filled with elitist fickle assholes... even the shit try-hards thought they were good... their influence ruined WildStar
this
Exactly. This game was amazing but I had no friends that wanted to play this over WoW and the attunement process was a grind with no friends or guild.
Same boat except friends did want to play but had crappy PCs at the time that couldn't handle it.
Yes, I would love to play wildstar again! It was way a head of its time, if they had released in 2022 it would be a success. People wasn't ready for action combat and the hardcore dungeons.
There was already TERA for the same action combat style which was excellent and outlasted WS. But sadly both MMOs are now dead.
That's not how it works. I'd the core is good it's good and it survives. You can't use excuse of being released at the wrong time. I've tried it at start and didn't get into it. I don't know if I would right now either
The GM of my WoW guild back in 2009 was a quest designer for WildStar and about 6 members of our raid team including our main tank and off tank were working for him on the game as well.
I remember being asked after raids different things about which WoW content drew us to the game as it was very influential in their design decisions.
Several designers of the game were former blizzard employees and before the game was released my GM Brendan jumped ship to Trion Worlds to work on Defiance and is now at Bungie part of the Destiny development team.
The Carbine Studios team was compromised of many young developers for which this was their first triple a title and they did try their absolute best.
I never got into WildStar too much as I was at the time still very invested in WoW.
That being said yes I would give this game a more fair chance if they ever brought it back online as it was fairly engaging thinking back and probably better than the state of WoW is today.
*edited to check my facts*
Really do miss this one. Was a favorite as I loved the telegraph combat system.
Wildstar is amazing, really miss it. Very underrated mmo, one of my top mmo's so far. In todays mmo-space i feel Wildstar would be a hit. For me Wildstar was the last true mmo, at the end of the golden age of mmo's.
WildStar in it's form would never be a hit. It would always flop because they focused hard raid content that most of the player base didn't do and didn't want to do. They were focused on it even more than Blizzard is in WoW.
@@krzysztofczajka6752 Could easily be fixed with a change in direction from the dev team if they were given the chance. If they actually wanted to do it or not, who knows.
Ironically this game would probably do pretty well these days with lots of other MMORPGs either dropping off or failing entirely, but at the time it just had no niche to fill.
I don't think it would survive long even these days honestly. The design had a focus on 'hardcore' players, who tend to be a tiny fraction of a game's population, and the things it did to cater to the hardcore ultimately drew the more casual players away, who are lifeblood of a large scale production like Wildstar was. The games that can afford the very narrow focus Wildstar wanted are indie games with relatively cheap production and maintenance in comparison.
@@val7885 I kind of agree, but at the same it seems that the 'casual' MMORPGs are starting to die off. ESO's latest push to trying to become even more casual friendly (however badly it's played out) has cost them a large portion of players recently.
I think hardcore is starting to see a resurgence with the playerbase getting bored of generic and easy MMO's with no real incentive to "git gud".
WoW classics were supposed to flop for being "more hardcore", but it turns out that's what a lot of players wanted.
@@val7885 there are awful mmo games still having servers online..... stop talking bullshit. i bet wildstar would have more players than NEW WORLD.
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it I can't speak for new world, I haven't played nor follow it's state, but Wildstar was *really* empty towards the end of its life. The games with that sort of population that are actually surviving are generally built to milk a few whales and sustain that way, which as far as I remember, Wildstar devs didn't want.
This was one of the mmos I constantly went back to play. Everything with is was so fluid, so fun to do. I had a guild, and it was a military theme guild, we used to train on house plots that are designed as barracks, we had parts of plots which had training grounds for jumps, and boarding.
Hell of a fun back that, I never had anything similar since then.
I would ve given it a go if this game was revived.
If Wildstar was still around, i would definetly give it a shot, i really enjoy trying out different mmos
Wildstar is timeless, was an amazing game that never really got the chance it should have. I wish I had played it more and it's the one game I regret not getting into more so.
it did get a chance. it launched and people were excited. but there were big issues that killed it. I wish they would have fixed those instead of killing it though
@@slanderpop8771 in today’s mmo landscape it would be very successful
lmao it did had the chance. game was simply boring. people just praising it now nostalgia clouding their memories
@@cybersosis game was far from boring had an immersive customization and large amount of skill trees u could mix n match from, had friggin hoverboards as mounts and best housing seen in any mmo its other problems like difficulty and lack of content and having a bad launch that killed the game u probably enjoy shity looter shooters
Nice to see my old montage in your vidoes
I was sad to see wildstar die so fast back in the day because although some of the combat I didn't care for, I loved the style and bright colors. I will gladly sign any petition to bring it back.
The world needs more WildStar. It was so damn good.
Wildstar is literally still the the best MMO I've ever played. Ez!
It's had all, good story awesome combat, incredible design and lovely characters. And all wrapped up in a hilarious Humor. Wildstar is just love! I nearly miss it every day 😩🥰
So many good memories on that game. Definitely would play the hell out of it. Esper class was one of the most fun classes I've played in an MMO
I grew up addicted to the OG guild wars, so NCSoft games will always have a special place in my heart. This is one that I never got around to playing and seeing your video makes me regret it. This looks pretty freaking sick
i absolutely love the games art style, and i would definitely give it another try if it had an official relaunch.
No official relaunch but we can hope for a private server launch
I agree, same here. i would love to try it out since i have always found science fiction MMO RPGs interesting and this has a very great unique world and very great mechanics.
I missed this game so much! Definitely going to try and join this private server! Thank you.
I never got to play this game but would definitely give it a go I'd it was around today. Also zoomed in camera for solo play and fully zoomed out for dungeons and raids. I like to be able to see incoming enemys and mechanics. Great video Peon
This MMO is without a doubt my second favorite ever just under Guild Wars 2 and I never got to play it much before it shut down as i was always busy during the years it was up.
I remember playing during the shutdown and being there when it all went down there. I want this game back so bad.
It was a very strange experience, it had this very cartoony aesthetic full of funny quests and dialog and a general feeling of a great casual family friendly game.
then the questing experience starts to slow down a few zones in and you hit the first dungeon.... which was painful.
It almost feels like this was made by 2 teams not talking to each other, one was designing a fun / casual game with a wide audience in mind and another that wanted a brutal hardcore game that required allot of grinding and high skill cap gameplay to even hit end game.
If they had toned down the levelling curve and reduced the difficulty of the dungeons (even if that meant just putting the more difficult version in a separate difficulty) the game could very well have survived long enough to sort some of the late game issues (like a fairly generic questing hub for dailies).
I started this game with a group of friends and they all fell off around the same time (roughly lvl 30) because the levelling just started to drag on needlessly and the quest variety was essentially "Kill 15 of this thing". If the first two zones set the tone for the rest of the game it could have been allot more fun.
I had the exact same experience.
Absolutely agree. The dungeons were way too hard considering they had basically no rewards and terrible xp. They released the game with a half finished talent tree abomination. The first two zones were amazing and then grind fest. All my friends quit between 25-30.
That's how I felt too. Wife and I were having so much fun, and then it started to feel like a chore at some point.
i loved the difficulty the raiding was so good.
the dungeons were to prepare you for raiding.
This is the MMO I miss the most and I've played many, many MMOs. I loved the races, classes and combat.
I had invested a lot of time in that game. Even published a populat BIS list for medic class. I really loved it. It was a bit of a paradox. The packaging was crazy, casual fun but content was hard. Some aspects of end game were lacking, like class balance, esp medics. I remember writing long posts discussing many issues. Still good memories. Another awesome game i miss is warhammer online. I miss all my characters. Such wacky times :(
For me the combat and humor was really FUN. I didn’t get to end game but man it was amazing just shooting telegraphs at anything and everything. In PvP, dungeons, questing, it was great. Even if sometimes it was hard to see who’s telegraphs were what, that could have been fixed or tweaked, but at its core it was a silly great game.
Loved playing this on and off, same way I treat most mmos. This would definitely generate income if a reboot was released. Development costs aside it would do really well on consoles.
I can't understand why it never was released on consoles. It's literally ratchet and clank and max 6 skills at the time makes it perfect to play with controller
Wildstar was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The game had so much personality, nice story, beautiful and distinct environments, alternative objectives in the world, best player housing i ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I never got into the end game raids, only got to try it once. but i leveled up all the classes to max. It was such an adventure. I absolutely loved running around in this world by myself. Its not my favorite or most played game. But the time i had in Wildstar was so special, i look back at it the same way i do with only my greatest adventures in life. If private servers ever finish i"ll level up a character again. I know i will enjoy that.
I’d definitely jump back on the wildstar train. This game had something for everyone! The game play / combat was very fluid, dungeons and raids were fun. I’m not huge into pvp in mmo’s but pvp in wildstar had a different feel and was quite enjoyable. Finally, the player housing was INSANE! I was blown away by what the housing community could pull off. It was cool how all forms of game play were linked I.e; getting an item from a dungeon to display in player housing. Such a good game! I think it would still do well with the proper backing.
If it re-launches as a free-to-play, I'd love to play it on launch day. It had by far the best animations out of all MMORPGs out, even to this day. The director that places so much emphasis on animations really made the right decision.
This game has big Jak and Daxter vibes to me, the art style and animation are incredible. Never played it, but I remember hearing about it at launch, then crickets.
Just got on to the private server and it’s great fun. Ok it’s a private server with limited areas but still it’s amazing what’s been done . So many people have been on the discord server since you posted this and playing the game 👍
i miss playing my medic... I loved how you could basically go solo with your healing and damage abilities being so wild
I was lucky enough to experience the end game raiding and pvp on this game. Though it had it's flaws, I really loved it. RIP wildstar.
Me too! Very hectic!
I may be hopelessly optimistic; but if any game was to get resurrected, I think it would be Wildstar.
This was one of the last MMO's I really enjoyed playing. It was really such a shame that they never managed to continue making enough playable content to keep players going. I really do hope this game do make a comenback som day. The humor was spot on and the story was great ;) I really miss hanging out with my guild and having fun doind the unique and fun bosses :)
Oh wow....the amount of nostalgia I'm feeling while watching this video....I played the beta and was so distraught when I found out the game was getting shut down in 2018. I remember loving the uniqueness of this game compared to others I had played at the time, like WoW, Tera, and Blade & Soul. I miss this game so much
i never realized how cool this game looked, it holds up well 4 years later. watching, i can't help but wish SWTOR had the charm and gameplay that Wildstar has.
I know this is an old comment, but I wanted to point out that Wildstar launched in 2014, so at the time of your comment it wasn't 4 years, but 8 years, since it launched ;)
Wildstar was a gem. I still don't understand why it was taken offline when older mmos like Everquest 1&2, LotRO, etc still maintain enough players to stay profitable and online.
Because they are still profitable. Wildstar performed so bad 2 years after release they stopped including it in the financial results as a game. It was just "other income".
Because everyone quit and it was making no money. If it was actually a gem, then it never would have closed.
Believe it or not those games had more players than wild star lol I played it near the end and it was quite literally dead in the truest sense possible . Maybe a few hundred players tops.
" still maintain enough players to stay profitable and online."
^^^^^^ This right here is why those MMO's are still online, Wildstar was neither of these things
@@TheNichq The gem was a gem indeed, but an unpolished one. Huge lack of content and weird difficulty balance.
And the game was published by the same guys who published Guild Wars 2, so they may have decided investing in GW2 was more profitable since it had a bigger playerbase.
And the skill needed to play was far more important than in other MMOs, required a lot more investment.
wildstar was my go to mmorpg back then. It had a really interesting take on the wow + tera side of things. loved my medic main. I really miss this game and I will never understand why they had to shut this down. It's way better then the crap mmorpgs that are still running like LOTRO, SWTOR, AION, NW and Skyforge.
So back in the day, i finally got a computer good enough to play this game, and i subbed.... 2 months later they announced they were shutting down. Im happy to see people working to revive this game as well as the return of reckoning server that game was also one of my faves to try
I was there from the very beginning before launch and all the way to the end. Definitely was my favorite thing to do in those years. I could go on and on about what was fun about it, but for some reason harkening back to what led to its demise is also enjoyable. The game was too ambitious with their content release schedule and ended releasing too many things too quickly with too many bugs while still committing too many new content releases before last quarter's content still wasn't corrected. The lootboxes that they started to implement and the weird random lottery layoffs they started doing... and one of the random layoffs was the senior developer. Catering to the very vocal minority(?) of players on how to balance their classes and giving up their vision on classes caused some aspects of kits to feel super strange.
I feel like the company was pressured on all sides to cave in on not only their vision, but also the game. Wish it didn't happen. There's nothin' quite like WildStar that made you wanna put on your space cowboy boots and run around the galaxy with your friends. What a good game. Everything felt great, personality oozing everywhere.
The best mmorpg ever created! People just didn't played much cuz the endgame was too hard for the average player's, this game was the only mmorpg where I truly had fun, I spent months building my house, but unfortunately everything is gone now, this game will forever be missed for me and I'm sure for lots of other players also, rip my dear wildstar
Keep telling yourself that lol. "People just didn't play it cuz the endgame was too hard. Yea right. There's all sorts of examples of millions playing a game with hard endgame content that didn't die like WildStar.
@@Sephiroso. No, not really. Not even the hardest raids in WoW or FF come close to what W* was throwing down.
@@Aethernyl Learn to read. I didn't even attempt to dispute that(not that i'm saying what you said is right). I merely said that wasn't the reason why WildStar died.
@@Sephiroso. please enlighten us as to what did, rather than obfuscating.
@@Aethernyl There hasn't been a single successful mmorpg that's built only for hardcore players(talking about ones made after 2004). That is primarily what WildStar was built around and for. WildStar's whole philosophy was centered around the fact that it was for the hardcore players of old before games like WoW became more casual friendly.
Well, what they miscalculated was that games started introducing more casual friendly content because that's what the vast majority of people enjoyed on a day to day basis. If all Blizzard did was catered to hardcore raiders/hardcore pvpers/hardcore m+ players, what do you think would happen to the game? It'd start hemorrhaging players because the amount of people who do that content is and forever will be the minority. Oh...interesting how that sounds exactly like what's happened to WoW doesn't it?
There's a reason why even though both WoW and FFXIV holds hard endgame raid content that FFXIV gains players and WoW lost them and it has nothing to do with the WoW harassment controversies(see Riot and the fact that everyone is loving them and looking forward to their new MMO). It's because FFXIV has a plethora of content designed to engage the casual player base, WoW doesn't anymore. It used to design content to keep casuals happy, but not since MoP pretty much.
Taking this back to WildStar, WildStar did what WoW is currently doing and only made it's content to cater to the hardcore player base. Except WildStar was a new IP and didn't already have millions hooked by the balls like WoW did to stick around. Nobody in their right minds want to deal with 40 man raids except the most hardcore raid purist you can find.
It is a logistical nightmare trying to get that many people to commit to a timeframe to raid. Literally just think for one second how much of a nightmare it is to get 40 people to agree to a time slot to all raid together. Now think how much of a nightmare it is to get that many people together that get along and won't cause drama. Now add to that number by about 10-20 because people will ALWAYS end up not showing up eventually and you need 40 people.
I really shouldn't have to say anymore than that for why it is a terrible fucking idea to try to make a new mmorpg be designed for 40 man raids. There is a reason WoW ditched that design and why new mmorpgs didn't attempt to pick it back up aside from WildStar which promptly died faster than hummingbird's wing's flap.
I legitimately miss this game. I had an absolute blast playing it, and if it were brought back I would definitely play it.
man i forgot how much i loved this game and atmosphere. Really wish it was still live :(
It isn't even a question, I would 100000000% play this if it was still around. It was so unique and just had a tremendously fun and devil may care kind of charm to it. We need it to come back!
Even with it being fairly old the stylistic choices make it still look fairly great. Really wish the raid attunement wasn't so atrocious at launch I hit max level and just quit since it was going to be such a huge hassle to get into raiding.
I would definitely still play it. I grinded through the attunement for the raid but everyone I played with quit before finishing it.
still got my disc for it. i just loved the whole attitude and approach they took, my favorite trailer was the one with the soldier introducing the clan war system "take your base and drop it in front of theirs" the design your defense was really appealing.
WarPlots! That was the level I designed.
I never played WildStart, unfortunately. Played almost every other MMORPG under the Sun, too. I've heard many great things about this game and wish I could have been part of it when it was live. I understand it had its problems too, but they all do to some extent. Surprised to see you covering it LazyPeon!
I actually teared up when I saw the thumbnail. Wildstar valued everything I loved in an MMO and did it better than any others, and I'm not necessarily talking about the combat. Apparently not enough people felt the same.
I always dabbled in WoW, but the raids and dungeons in this game were more involved, and I loved ever second of it. The amount of lore packed into the game really solidified how I play games today, reading all the notes and lore stuff in a playthrough. This game will always be a 10/10 for me.
I loved playing this game. My main character was Mazey and I built some really fun buildings on the housing plots :P I really miss it! It was my MMO after Tera :(
I've never loved another MMO the way I loved Wildstar, I'd run back into its arms tomorrow if it was miraculously resurrected XD You're right that it struggled in the endgame with too much reliance on group PVE but everything else about it was so perfectly suited to my personal tastes. Also the housing! No other MMO even comes close. You saw some TRULY incredible housing plots, it was amazing what people could do!
I would definitely be playing it. I was in charge for awhile for doing roleplay events within my guild at the time. We'd set up group roleplay in towns to get people to join, along with other random in game parties for "fashion" themes. We had a person in charge of housing events, either aesthetic competitions, or platforming ones every few weeks. Even though I was playing on a toaster at the time (3fps-6fps in town at the time), the game had so much potential for rp as well. And a decent enough timeline in lore to really dive in and create custom sci-fi backstories for forum rp when you wanted to.
Would I still play? Heck yes I would. I never got to experience high tier play cuz of my toaster. And there was nothing like this games combat. there still isn't imo.
systems within the game for professions were quite different if i remember right. You could be an explorer, for your platforming players. Gatherer for the farmers. there was others but i only remember the ones I excelled in and could actually do.
ngl... I have wildstars death anniversary saved to my phone. I tend to change my profile pic to my wildstar character on that day as a nod to the fun times I used to have. Some day maybe we'll get lucky. Till then, I'll see you all in AoC when it releases.
I had a blast with the game's pvp when it came out. As soon as I could start doing battlegrounds I leveled all the way to max level doing it. For me the game went to crap when people could get a full set of new gear once you reached a certain battleground rating. it wasn't time gated like WoW, you could have a full OP set of gear in one day, if you had the rating. If you didn't have the gear, you couldn't compete.
I did really enjoy. If it was around again, I would for sure play it again. It's a great game which died due to silly difficulty curves. The telegraphing abilities was great but sadly in end game raids, it got to a point where the whole floor was telegraph markers, you couldn't see yours or even things you needed to not stand in.
I played tons of mmos but i never missed a game as much i miss Wildstar .Thank you for video i hope one day i will be able to play Wildstar again :)
Even with it's bad point there and there, Wildstar was / is one of my favorite of all time in mmorpg. I've never had as much fun just playing and goofing, exploring around than in that game.
I really loved the Combat System of this game.. even the graphics. I miss this MMO-gem.
this game is the only mmo i stuck with when it came out. even healing was super fun with all the aimed abilities and the movement. wildstar was so much damn fun, i even found the leveling a ton more fun than any other mmo ive played. housing too, all that stuff, what a great game.
Thanks for this vid. I missed Wildstar. Would love to have played it when it was actually a thing!I would definetly try it now!
I got really into Wildstar 3 months before the servers shut down. It was incredibly disappointing. Even if I wouldn't be playing it today, I'd certainly have played it much more than I was able to. I loved the movement, parkour and home building aspects of the game - and the style was right up my alley.
I have PTSD from WoW private servers, though, so I haven't gone to play a Wildstar private server yet, even though I was aware they were planned since Wildstar's shutdown was announced.
This was one of my favorite mmos. I had some really good times playing it. I wish they would have sold it to a team that cared and understood what the community wanted and needed. A few changes could of made this a long standing top tier mmo.
The team making it DID know, and they cared IMMENESLY. It was the publisher that was the problem. They were expecting a WoW killer out of the gate for some reason, and when it didn't make what they hopped it would in only the launch month, rather than iterating and improving and green-lighting expansions and further work they hit the eject button. Half the dev team got laid off only 30 days in, and even more left as a result. The team was on life support before they had even finished rolling out the first 3 months of story updates, and no more major ones were ever made. No major fixes ever implemented. Not because it's creators didn't want the best for it, but because the plug was pulled.
I played it when it released. It was such a lovely game! Loved the Combat System, the Housing, the Endgame. Can't remember why I stopped playing it.. i logged back in when i saw it on steam. Then I heard the Servers are going to get shut down and i felt really sad about that. Today I would recommend this game to my friends, since it made really fun and they barely know about this game.
I was Stalker tank. I remembered datascape and GA raid. We had a guild raid schedule, raiding 2 times a week. It was really fun. I had few hundred hours playtime on it.
The death of wildstar really saddened me as it was always a game that I wanted to play, however at the time I couldn't run it. I had a very low end PC and wildstar was too demanding for it.
By the time I got a computer capable of playing it, I started getting into the game, but then it shut down like a month later.
