I activated both, ran them, then hung around the ruins until I could do so again. I was questing in Wilderrun that day and saw that there were two challenges in the area on my tracker. Small changes, to be sure, but they actually worked.
Then for challenges that I had already done, both the map and quest tracker included them when I was nearby, allowing me a handy way to restart a challenge (or to see how long I had left on my timer). Up to two challenges can be running at a time, and with both you have these star meters in the top-center of the screen with the reward tiers clearly marked.
Even so, several tweaks to the user interface caught my eye when I logged back in that day.įirst of all, challenges had an improved on-screen meter that showed time remaining and objectives filled in an organized, easy-to-understand fashion. I don’t think that even Carbine really thought that the changes it made to challenges with the patch were all that interesting because I didn’t even see them mentioned in the drop round-up. What happened to get me to rethink challenges? I felt much the same for a while too, ignoring them as I dutifully checked off my quest log.īut it was the big drop from earlier this year that changed my perspective on challenges and gave me a new lease on fun in WildStar. I guess that, like quests, they’re accepted background noise of the game, but hardly a noteworthy feature. Honestly, I don’t even see people mentioning challenges any more. But players swarming over the same areas and competing for the same challenge resources soon caused a backlash, giving challenges a negative reputation that has persisted to this day. Initially there was excitement over these on-the-spot timed quests, as players added them into the list of all of the things to do at any given moment. Back when WildStar first launched, there was a rapid evolution of the general community opinion over challenges.
