- Patch and other information - 3 July 2018
We're bringing online patch on July 5th, adding new sheriffs vs outlaws gameplay, new town capturing mechanics and bunch of other changes to the game including new content. While we do believe that this patch will be important stepping stone to get to the "right" state of the game, we also think that number of other things needs to be added, changed, etc before we'll be able to basically relaunch the game later this summer. What this "relaunch" plan means for you - our existing players ? to be honest it doesn't really gonna affect you much - it will for sure will bring new players to the game, as well as add more stuff to do in a game, making user experience more in line with it being PVP shooter game. Here's few things that will be changed to the game : 1. Well, adding both northern part of the map as well as animal hunting. This is kinda what you knew already we've been working on, so…
- Update Information - 22 June 2018
Hi Everyone, There're few updates on what's going on with WWO. 1.Between June 12th and June 14th we've deployed massive update to our test servers and tested it internally. We really hoped that things will go relatively smoothly and we'll be ready to do patch on June 18th ( make no sense to do it on Friday :) and have players get angry if something goes wrong ). 2.Unfortunately after some discussion we as a team decided that patch is just not yet ready - neither stability wise, nor from usability standpoint. While it was possible to hit promised date and deploy patch, we didn't believed that it will deliver experience we wanted. 3.It was a team decision to postpone patch for up to one month, and make sure that we hit all goals we want with it. We're very small team at the moment, so while we wanted to have more resources to put on it, we're going with what we have - what is in line with…
- Upcoming Patch information - 6 June 2018
Okay, new patch is almost there and let me go thru most important pieces that it'll bring to the table. We estimate patch will be deployed not later than June 15th. 1.Bunch of bugs fixed. Basically most of the bugs you've reported for the last couple of weeks are fixed now. 2.Removing Factions. There'll be no "Mcfarlanes vs Steele". we loved it internally, but effectively it did added some unnecessary complexity to the gameplay mechanics and affected player's experience in a negative way. 3.Sheriffs vs Outlaw - CORE gameplay. Instead we're bringing back Sheriffs vs Outlaws mechanics, and they'll become our two main factions in a game. While we don't think that first release will check all boxes for all players, we will continue tweak and fine tuning it until we'll get system that all players will be happy about. 4.Town Capture redesign. Well this is a meat and bones of the WWO experienc…
- Wild West Online review - western MMO tragically wastes its potential - 30 May 2018
You'd think that a few more hours out in the wilds - trotting through the scrub, listening to the world as dusk spills across the sky - would be enough to take the edge off those rough first impressions of Wild West Online. The sad truth, however, is that the more time you spend galavanting around in this world, the easier it is to spot its flaws, and the harder it is to overlook them. For all its bluster and promise, Wild West Online is a desperately hollow, cheap experience, and wholly unworthy of those three little letters: MMO. Having pulled back on its promise of a PvE experience, the Steam store description of Wild West Online does, in fairness, now tout this as a PvP adventure, insisting it "isn't a story-driven MMO with deep narrative and AI opponents to solo-grind" but rather a "PVP action MMO game where you duke it out with other players in a persistent PVP combat world." That…
- Patch Notes 0.8.528 - 28 May 2018
Following are changes to the game for the patch 0.8.528 NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES TO EXISTING FEATURES 1. NOVICE SERVERS. If players character are below level 20, and if ALL characters in a group are below level 20, they will be joining "novice" servers. If any of the players in a group are level 20 and above, group will be joining "general population" servers. 2. GUN WHEEL and HOTBAR. We've replaced gun Wheel ( CTRL key by default ) with new UI as well as added "hot bar" allowing players to switch between guns and use certain items more conveniently in a fast paced shooter environment. 3. HAIR COLORS. Added ability to choose hair colors on character creation. More hair styles are coming. 4. HIDEOUT CABINS. Removed ability to access Global Storage from Hideout cabins. Changed what you can craft while at hideout cabins. 5. PLANTATIONS. You can deploy Farm blocks, animal traps inside plant…
- DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - Factions, Sheriffs, Outlaws and more! - 22 May 2018
Here's a brief overview of what we're working on right now : Redesigned Gun Wheel and Hot Bar. We're adding more shooter friendly Gun Wheel as well as hotbar for the commonly used items. Here's some WIP design concepts for you https://imgur.com/a/X215wUj Here's how usage of the meds and other "insta use" items will work. You'll need to press and HOLD for a few seconds hot key to activate item. This will "combat" Gun wheel and a Hot Bar will not be available while you're galloping on a horse. So to use item, you will need slow down ( no need to go full stop - just release "sprint" button ), wait till Hot Bar appears and then activate item such as a med. Redesigned Rewards System and Economy. This is something we're working on to make sure that different types of activities will give you different types of rewards. Basically each type of activity will be offering you unique items - mining…
- Early experience with Wild West Online suggests it's a shallow take on the frontier - 18 May 2018
Our review of Wild West Online will be with you next week. Ahead of that, here are some early impressions of this frontier MMO. Wild West Online couldn't have come at a better time, could it? Whether by accident or design, Wild West Online arrives on the coattails of HBO's phenomenal Westworld, and is an early appetiser to those of us aching to lay hands on that Red Dead Redemption successor and are struggling with the wait. And thanks to someone cleverly (or irritatingly, depending upon your perspective) dropping that screenshot onto GTAforums this time last year, it sparked a lot of interest, enough that the developer DJ2 Entertainment no longer needed to crowdfund financial backing.

- Wild West Online launches onto the dusty trails today - 10 May 2018
You’d think that with how gosh-darned fun it is to play around with six-shooters, lever-action rifles and all those other trappings of the old American west, it’d be a more popular setting for games. Until such time as Rockstar confirm that Red Dead Redemption 2 is officially PC-bound, Wild West Online is our next best bet. This online cowboy sandbox from DJ2 Entertainment has been lurking around in early access for some time, but today it got its best ten gallon hat on and set forth in search of fame and glory. (more…)
