Carbine Studios has revealed the 2015 roadmap for WildStar, a perfectly decent and enjoyable MMORPG that’s got off to a bit of a difficult start since its launch last year.
Amongst the new year’s resolutions are a bunch of new solo and group content including adventures and dungeons, better customisation options, and an improved late-game experience.
Layoffs, inconvenient if necessary server transitions and fan complaints regarding a lack of content plagued WildStar last year, but the developers say they are taking on board criticism and aiming to deliver “solid high-quality updates.” Here’s what director Mike Donatelli says the team is focusing on for the first half of 2015;

We will be adding lots of solo and group content to the game, including new Shiphands, Adventures and dungeons.
We are focusing on revamping our customization systems and adding new ways for players to add personality to their characters.
We are improving the Elder game experience, offering players lots of opportunities to find new and exciting loot!

Carbine also details a whole raft of content on the way in the forthcoming Protogames Initiative update, including the following;

Protogames Academy – a training dungeon to prepare lower level players for telegraphs, interrupt armor, and boss mechanics.
Ultimate Protogames – an exciting new dungeon for upper level players.
They Came from Fragment Zero! – a level 6 shiphand that introduces players to group gameplay at a much earlier level.
LFG upgrades – currently, some shiphands, adventures, and dungeons are intentionally hidden or need to be unlocked. Unfortunately, this keeps many players out of the content. Moving forward, all of this content will be added to an expanded LFG tool.
Datascape 20 – the 40-person dungeon wasn’t getting played as often as we hoped. Not only was the content challenging, but roster management was painful. In the next update we will lower the player requirement down to 20.

There’s a lot more information on what the team have planned for WildStar in the post, so it’s definitely one to check out if you’re a fan of the game.
