Yeah I never liked that. I have no desire to sit on Wildstar Central looking for dev posts. They have a news feed thats like a dev tracker, but there is no RSS tag on it. :/ Anyway, maybe they just don't want to have to hire people to moderate it just yet. I can understand that. They do have beta boards though.
Excited about this game. Everything sounds really good so far, so it will come down to execution of content. Seems to be that the approach is basically "WoW with housing and hybrid action combat." I hope that the flow of the game is distinctive enough that it doesn't inherent the "cant play another day of WoW" syndrome that I got after I finished leveling in SWTOR.
On paper, it passes the first "must have" in that it has at least quasi action combat. A purely tab targeted game is a non-starter, even if i really like the systems.

I'd buy the game just support a studio that actually created a LFD at release. Some studio actually knows what kind of systems you need for games like this! This alone makes me think they are not retards. Good sign.

The funny thing is you don't actually NEED a LFD tool at release. With the amount of players still levelling and the release rush it's easy enough to get a group by using standard chat channels.
I wouldn't care if a game released without a LFD tool as long as it was planned for the first group of patches (within 3 months of release or so)
Like Qhue said, it's an expected part of these games. If you can be assed to develop one screw it. Look at SWTOR, they didn't have one at release and I never did any of the dungeons. I had no interest in sitting in a single spot looking for a group while I could be doing quests.
Do you need a LFD at release? Probably not. But the tool lets you play the game while you wait in queue. That is the necessary part.
Waiting for their "Wildstar Wednesday" update. I crave more info!

I remember a quote from an EQ2 dev back in the day that said there's a major problem if the people making the game would rather play WoW in their spare time than their own game. My impression is that the Wildstar group enjoys their own game, which gives it a lot of promise imo.

Has there been mention of contested raid targets in Wildstar ? I would really love to see those return, especially on pvp servers..

Kind of. I know they have stated they have world bosses in like every zone. As far as major raid zones I would assume no because of instancing.
That's really only fun for griefing. You'll be able to fight other guilds i bet with warplots.
Anyone know what's up with this Arkship stuff? From what I gather, Carbine has invited 30-40 people to the studio to give them critical feedback and opinion on the game? I hadn't heard of this before, but it sounds like a pretty cool deal all around.
