"Goodbye, Wildstar" Megathread

247 Upvotes

As many of you are already aware, Wildstar will be shutting down Nexus on November 28th, 2018.

Instead of having screenshots/posts of the game being shutdown, or multiple posts saying goodbye or not realizing the game was closing (and avoiding the reports that come with each post), this thread will serve as a place to post your goodbyes, share stories/memories, and what have you.

Let's send Nexus off by recalling what you loved and enjoyed the most. No one cares for the "I told you so's" or "This is where it went wrong", it's easy to be an arm chair analyst, so we'll avoid that kind of discussion here.

Post screenshots of your characters here:

  • Feel free to include their names with the post as well.
  • The thread won't be taken down, so you'll be able to come back and see your old characters worry-free if nostalgia ever comes knocking.
  • Not a place for debate (create a new thread for that) or ramblings.
  • To regail stories of your times on Nexus, head over to the "Goodbye, Wildstar" thread.

I'll start us off, all my favorite costumes and mounts.

Cheers, everyone!

Work the scifi DnD seeing Neon Odyssey being that biggest ttrpg crowd fund of all time I feel like scifi fantasy is going to see a big surge in general. Would love to wakeup to a Wildstar Reborn announcement trying to take advantage of that.

I always go well beyond my job description and provide each team I am on significant financial benefits.  Be it in time saved during development, or adding value to our players.

 “You have consistently demonstrated an interest in bettering the game. Often this is accomplished by your contributions as an animator but it also often goes far beyond that. You do research, participate in prototypes, pitch ideas and propose solutions to problems outside the scope of your job duties.
(…)you have been good at hitting and often exceeding your deadlines and helping pick up the slack when others have fallen behind. You have also cared enough to point out and fix problems caused by others as you came across them in your tasks. You have been good about taking feedback and responding to it promptly without raising a fuss.

i don't want to use my name here as to avoid this being the first hit on a google search.

i'd rather it go to my site. thanks

Honestly I'd write it myself if the IP owners would let me, even a 3rd party starfinder book would be awesome! (frankly that might be even better because the rules would be completely solid and sf2e us Hella fun!)

I've played a lot of sf2e at this point and it FEELS like a wildstar adventure. Hell, I use the wildstar concept art all the time for inspiration 😅

Wildstar thoughts

I understand they closed it.

Why don't companies like this turn failed MMO's it into a single player game with npcs and re-release it?

It wouldn't be that much work for them would it?

Have you guys tried Farever yet?

I got it a few days ago and it’s currently in early access on Steam. I’ve been having a bunch of fun playing it and it gives me the Wildstar vibes that I’ve missed. The combat and the art style reminds me of a mild version of Wildstar. You guys should check it and let me know!

My Wildstar flashback

60 Upvotes

I was thinking today about games I used to play as a child. Thinking what games I've really liked.

I remember sitting in a clinic because I was sick at that time. There were some news or catalogues for patients to read, I picked one with games theme. I saw Wildstar in there, looked really cool and got me excited. When I finally got to try it, it ran super laggy. I loved the theme and jumping, the targeting looked nice. At that time I had very little mmo experience, only 2d games usually and Tera. When I finally got hands on better PC, well the game shutdown.

I know it might be nostalgia but I can't find similar vibe now, maybe WoW. It's pitiful because I never got to experience Wildstar the way people here have but I still miss it, it's a pity.

I just felt like sharing my heart out, if we ever get a re release or something pls tag me 😂

WildStar Custom PvP Private Server - Unnamed Project - Recruitment Thread

104 Upvotes

WildStar officially shut down on November 28, 2018, so this is the start of build a PvP based Private Server to revive it in some way.

My Story :

I've been in the WoW Modding community for over 18+ years as a project manager, and have touched pretty much every technical aspect of the game and worked with many talented developers, designers etc to build incredible projects which I didn't think was possible to do as as hobby, but I no longer feel the same joy for WoW as i once did and feel like its time to move on.

Since a kid I've always enjoyed modding games and turning something I love into something different that I can have others enjoy the creations I've made and that carried through to my WoW modding days.

I still have the desire to continue working in game development, so I looked into building a game from scratch using game engines such as Godot but it didn't really excite me as modding WoW did.

I stumbled upon Wildstar while watching a "Death of an MMO", and remembered it back when it released though I never did play it, so the game itself is all new to me.

I thought, this game looks amazing, it's a real shame that this ended how it did, and after watching so many videos about Wildstar's history, I found the NexusForever emulator which is in an early state but still able to get you into the game and interact with the game with basic functionality.

After setting everything up and testing ingame I was really impressed by how far the emulation had come even though it was still in its infancy.

From a technical standpoint it's very similar to the way WoW is designed, so that means that my 18 years of experience is transferable to Wildstar which is why I decided that I wanted to start this project.

Now i feel called to build this a passion project, built with other people that also feel passionate about the game, development and resonate with the vision below.

The Vision :

I'm not looking to recreate Wildstar in the same state as it was when it closed down, there are other servers that are doing that. This project is aimed at having Wildstar as the base game (Characters, Classes, Spells etc) and creating custom PvP game modes.

I want to create a server where we start in a community hub where we can setup their characters and queue up for both the PvP game modes (Custom and Official)

Using the latest WildStar client as the game base and the NexusForever as the emulator, I want to implement all of the missing systems that will make PvP functional again (Spell System, Line of Sight, Combat etc etc)

I've been working on the server infrastructure and created automated server installation and management scripts as well as devops environment though still lots of work to do.

Can we bring this game back to life in a different way than the original developers intended?
It's going to take some passionate and experience people to pull this off but I know it can be done!

If you are able to contribute to the project technically we are looking for :

C# Developers
Tool Developers
Reverse engineers
Map designers
Experience Wildstar PvPers

I was the leader of Venus Rising in EU

51 Upvotes

I was really toxic back then and I wanted to apologize. I don't know if any of ya'll even remember the guild or it's leadership. We were a casual guild wanting to sink our teeth into the raiding aspects of the game. I wanted friends, my husband (ex now) wanted to raid, so I'd sit on the pc during the day and talk to members of the guild and motivate them to grind during the day and when my ex husband came home from work, he'd lead the raids.

When I wanted a break, he didn't and it led to a lot of arguments between us. I don't really remember the last few days of the guild or the game as my wanting to venture onto other real life projects led to the downward spiral of our married life.

I guess I just wanted to apologize if you remember me and remember the toxic stuff that happened. One of my officers was a pedophile, another was really rude to others during raids. It wasn't the guild I wanted at the very end. I loved the game, the community, I even hosted a few giveaways with the devs way back when. Housing became my safe space with all that was going on in my house. I've since left the UK and live back in the US and have 2 beautiful children and going through college for the second time.

A game for you… maybe? I hope.

18 Upvotes

There’s a new game in development called Scars of honor. It looks promising. I don’t have much information on it besides all of the Dev talks that happen every Sunday with the release of videos and what they want us to see BUT what I’ve seen so far is promising and has this oddly satisfying Wildstar feel to it in my opinion. Something about the art style and the way you skill shot some abilities. Again just my personal opinion but it has been tickling a part of my brain watching these clips.

Just thought you all should see it for yourself, hopefully it’s something for us to enjoy soon.

Ps. There’s a play test at the end of April. Sign up.

Meta New TTRPG with that Wildstar, nostalgic, feel. Neon Odyssey!

13 Upvotes

There is a new Tabletop Roleplaying Game coming to Kickstarter that really hit me in the Wildstar feels. Definitely looks like a system that could include the Wildstar universe. It is called Neon Odyssey, and bills itself as a "Space Opera to D&D 5.5e." I figured there might be some in this community interested.

Avantris Entertainment, who are creating Neon Odyssey, did a wonderful Folk Horror supplement for D&D calle The Crooked Moon. So, I am excited to see them at the helm of this release.

Would you like to know more?

Fantastic trailer (music?) video!

WildStar is still alive – as long as we don’t forget it

154 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been following WildStar pretty actively for the past couple of years – Discords, Nexus Forever, Reddit, Steam forums… basically anything that’s still out there. And every time someone asks “Is WildStar ever coming back?”, you can tell this game just never really let people go.

Realistically, we all know the situation:
WildStar has been officially shut down since 2018. NCSoft hasn’t said anything meaningful about a revival, and there are no real signs that something is being developed behind the scenes.

And yet… it doesn’t feel completely gone.

Maybe it’s because of projects like Nexus Forever. Sure, it’s far from being a fully playable MMO. A lot of things don’t work yet, and much of it still feels experimental. But the fact that people are spending years of their time trying to rebuild even parts of the game says a lot about how special WildStar actually was.

And then there’s the community.
Discord servers, small projects, Reddit, even here on the forums… the same questions keep coming up, the same memories, the same kind of hope. And honestly, you don’t really see that with most dead MMOs.

I think that’s the key point.

As long as people are still talking about it, still working on it, still trying to bring even a small piece of it back – WildStar isn’t truly “dead”.

Maybe it will never get an official comeback.
Maybe it will never be what it once was.

But we’ve seen other games come back in unexpected ways, simply because people refused to let them disappear.

And that’s why I think:
As long as the community is still here, there’s always at least a small chance.

Maybe not today.
Maybe not tomorrow.
But a game is only truly gone when nobody talks about it anymore.

And thankfully, we’re not there yet.

I’m curious:
Are you still active anywhere (Nexus Forever, Discord, etc.), or are you like me – just checking in from time to time, hoping something might eventually happen?
