I don’t know what it is, but I can’t seem to find any fun or joy when questing in Wildstar. There’s just something about it that I just can’t put my finger on.
Maybe it’s the fact I still can’t read the freakin’ quest text, or the game’s questing really is a bore.
But I think it’s the way questing is done. It seems similar to the way Guild Wars 2 does it; it uses a bar and a percentage. Plus, combat just seems.. a bore. There’s no really exciting combat moves. And it feels like me just spamming a few buttons until the mob dies.
Having a mob explode into chunks can be somewhat satisfying. But for the Warrior, there’s no *CLANG* sound when getting a Crit. Again, it feels… dull.
The second thing I find boring (and also irritating) is the gear system. At the very start, upgrades are good. But as you progress (even when getting off the ship), you’ll run into issues where you have to literally make a choice on what is more important, such as a shield or more Assault power. Or having no Assault power and go with Crit.
I was told how gearing doesn’t matter until you hit 50. Then why does every single one of my chars feel.. weak once hitting Level 10 and past it? I feel like I’ll never get to 50 at this rate, due to either falling asleep due to how boring the combat system is, fed up with these constant “bad” gear upgrades, or forced to run away due to my health.
At Level 13, it actually gets really hard for me. This is when I constantly mistake a Prime mob for a regular one. Primes are almost impossible to solo (especially ones that require a 5-man group). Usually, they will kick your ass. But when in a dimly-lit area(like a cave), for myself it’s quite hard to make out the red glow of a Prime.

EDIT: Decided to nuke my Warrior and go with a Stalker. So far… he is freakin’ awesome. His name? Deathclaw Spinehorn. My Warrior was named Deathclaw, but this guy is perfect for that name. Nothing like going all Wolverine on one’s ass. And being a Draken is a perfect race for it.
What I love about the class isn’t just the quick DPS, but his Backstab ability. Some mobs, when done at a certain angle, is an insta-kill. I can take out several mobs that are close together with this attack. Holy shit that’s OP!! I LOVE IT!! 😀
He’s Level 7 as I write this edit, which is older than my Warrior. My ‘main’, Benie theNOOb, holds the title of highest char (that I own) at Level 15.
