ESO and WildStar are the two new hot games. I'm currently only playing ESO, but I still pay attention to what is going on with WildStar. Just this week, WildStar announced their first content patch, The Strain. Its a good time to compare the kind of updates each game is putting out.
ESO. Craglorn is already live, and the Crypt of Hearts has been announced. Both introduce new group content to the game. Craglorn included a new zone for groups to explore and ESO's first trial (raid). It also bumped up the veteran rank to 12. The Crypt of Hearts is introducing a veteran version of an existing dungeon.
WildStar. The Strain will introduce two new zones. These zones have solo and group content with no level increase. They also include new 20 player group content. PvP considerations were also made when building these zones.
And the winner is... WildStar! Unlike ESO, WildStar is introducing content for all types of players. If I played WildStar, there would be something for me. Also, the Veteran level creep in ESO is a bit concerning, so I am happy to see WildStar not going there just yet.
