WildStar Uplink: A Very Important Poll

Posted Jan 24 2012 11:47 PM by Gazimoff in Articles

We don’t get many of these, but when we do... we jump to it with the enthusiasm of a million kittens! An urgent message has just come in from Team Wildstar asking for your help! They want to know what you’re interested in hearing more of so that the community team (and us!) can share the information that you crave.

But what is it? Do you seek knowledge of mysterious lore and uncharted lands. Perhaps you want to get under the hood and dig into the game systems? Are you eager to hear word of future beta testing? Maybe your home theater system needs a new Cinematic Trailer to give it a proper work out?

There’s just one snag. Carbine’s instructions were quite clear on this one - to create a poll in my own language. Since I’m an absurd Brit, that means the choices will be presented to you in Absurd British!

  • We’re always First Class here, but does knowing more about the character classes intrigue you? You may have a job to do, but By George it’s how you do it that counts!
  • Are you a practicing xenobiologist? Would you care to know more about the races of beings you might portray?
  • There are many journeys to greatness, but knowing which path is best for you can be daunting. Perhaps knowing more would be your ticket?
  • What with war going on all over the place, knowing who you're fighting for is a sterling idea! Shout if more faction news is your cup of tea!
  • Budding History Professor or reciting the Classics? You must be keen on digging up some spiffing new Lore!
  • Keen to get your hands dirty? Pull on some overalls and grab that oilrag if you want to pull out the cogs and wheels of Game Systems!
  • You could pull on your finest Eveningwear, buff your top hat and take a stroll down the promenade to the local picture house. Perhaps you’ll chance upon a New Cinematic Trailer?
  • Finally, we leave you with the increasingly generous Open Choice. Should none of these options from our menu sate your appetite, simply declare what you hunger for and we will convey it to the good Chefs at Carbine!

Leave your choices in the comments section below and we’ll be sure to hand them on. Don’t feel you have to limit yourself either - pick as many or as few options as you like! Once you’re done here you can also cast your opinion on the poll over at the Wildstar Facebook page.

This is Wildstar, we want to know ALL THE THINGS!

but seriously, for me I want to know the Lore of this new world and the lore of the races and characters who live in it. At this point I am sure just about anyone can make workable game mechanics, but I want to know if this is a world I can dive into and immerse myself in as deeply (and easily) as I did Azeroth.

Man... if I had to "choose", I would say I'm most interested personally about races, followed closely behind with Lore. I want to tie those 2 together actually, because by learning about each of the races, you also have the opportunity to learn about what drives them in the game.

I'd say the main thing I'm curious about right now is the lore of the world, though I suppose it ties into the classes as well. I'd like them to go into a bit more detail on how magic fits into this world since they've shown it exists through the Esper and Spellslinger. There's so many questions I could ask just about that. Is magic prevalent in the WildStar universe or is it uncommon to see a Spellslinger/Esper? How do magic and technology work together? We know that the Spellslinger combines the two to some extent, but how exactly do his guns work? Is it magic and tech working together or are they more of just a focus for spellcasting?

I would have to say the factions and more lore really are what i would like to hear about. Oh and classes and everything else you can give us :)

All I want to know right now is what the "Settler" is. The details of this could be a game changer in my mind. Also, it would be nice for Carbine to release some more images of other location in the world...as they are badass :-)

Lore, definitely lore. With a new cinematic trailer as a close second.

Game mechanics is a first choice for me, and classes as a second (although these are usually predictable anyway in an MMO!

Don't want to hear about lore, or if it's published I usually ignore it (I like the story of a game to reveal as I'm playing it).

Just need to know that the gameplay is good enough to invest 100's or 1000's of hours in!

Open choice would be endgame content reveal.
