i am paul newman posted:I feel like my mom complaining about it, but the customization options are all skeevy and bother me more than performance or UI issues. Draken girls look like an ant laying an egg, human girls look like that racist basketball grandpa's girlfriend. It's dumb, but sex sells, and there's nothing to do about it. It's not even limited to the females; all of the men are hypermuscular and all buff and SUPER TESTOSTERONE, BRO, YEEEAAAAAH. The difference between the Draken/Mechari/Granok males and females is almost terrifying; even the Aurin, surprise surprise, are standard sexual archetypes on both genders - the females are a given, being cat/bunny-girls, but the males, aside from being cat/bunny-boys, largely have the facial structure and overall charm of any "sexy anime" anti-hero: Uchiha Sasuke from Naruto; Riku from Kingdom Hearts; and so on. I don't necessarily disagree with it, because generally it's an effective market, let's face it. I am, however, going to happily pick the least sexualized race, which happens to be the Chua, who are even so far as unspecified in gender. Chua don't care. They just want to blow things up.

Seriously Chua exist solely to poo poo on the body type cry babies. The human males are all like the exact opposite of any goon and I don't see anyone complaining. I mean I love to play as a fat lazy slob in any game that gives me the chance, but I'll play Chua in this game because its awesome. Look at this smug mother fucker.

Just putting it out there that the addon system in this game is pretty goddamn amazing. Reloading Addons parses for new addons, so you don't have to reboot the game on new installs or updates. ClassicQuestDialog - Better quest dialogs. BetterQuestLog - WoW-like quest log CustomFoV - Lets you change FoV, HUGE difference Steer - Basically better DeadLockExt. KeyBindFreedom - Lets you bind poo poo to your LMB/RMB. Amazing along with Steer. IconLoot - Better icons for poo poo you pick up. Erin's Speedy Quest - Lets you press keys for choosing quest rewards and junk. Only seems to work with quests you access/complete via your communicator. This might be a conflict issue with ClassicQuestDialog, or it might be a limitation of the addon system. JunkIt - Puts a button to sell junk. Also supports auto-repair, auto-junk-sell, and autoselling whites (or whatever quality you want) Gorynych - Allows third-party translations for the entire game's UI. Not useful for me, but man, this is pretty stellar. TheVisitor - Lets you just type in people's names to visit their house. I imagine this might be ripe for loving with people. There's a few others I'm trying, I'll post when I find something else mindshattering. Thanks to a cat on an apple for posting this: Here's a program for handling Addon zip files, if you find one that isn't on Curse and you want to download it. IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't install BijiPlates or any other nameplate addon. It eats something like .3 ms/frame, which can kill your FPS. Tupper fucked around with this message at 07:13 on May 9, 2014 |

Can you confirm if it works or not? And if it doesn't, you can add Steer and Keybindfreedom to the list. Steer is a stripped down version of deadlock, all it does is mouselock, and keybindfreedom allows you to bind any key to anything. You can bind your mouse buttons to attacks, and the game will override it if your mousepointer is over a UI window (like quests accepting and settings and such).

This game is confusing the poo poo out of me. It seems absolutely terrible and derivative and awful. I'm about level 10 or 11 and I haven't seen a quest that wasn't horrible. At the same time, I REALLY want to like it because of the art style and animation. I have a tremendous tolerance for holy trinity MMOs (in fact I prefer them) but I cannot figure out what the hell this game wants to be.

Game engine still seems reaaaally poorly optimized and it's hard to believe they're going to fix it in the few weeks they've got left. The relative scarcity of people with the hardware necessary to run the game smoothly is going to hurt them I predict. e: Heh whoops, looks like I'm not the first person itt to notice this Torka fucked around with this message at 06:19 on May 9, 2014 |

Yeah, I made a medic settler and played the tutorial until it crashed my machine at level 2. I'm already getting bored of searching for clickables in the world. It seems like the combat will be great and the whole settler/player building concept looks cool. It feels like they're rubbing my nose in their cute steampunk art and lore, instead of letting me just explore it.

Might be worth adding to the OP, if anyone is having trouble with addons, like I was, someone created a handy tool for addon management. I used it myself, you just drag the .zip folder right into the program and it automatically does everything necessary to set it up for WildStar to be able to read it. e: Here's the direct download to the program.

When I'm not dead tired I'll post about a few other addons. I especially like the ones to point to gather nodes and lore nodes. They're not that hard to find, but I am dumb and miss things. Also I find I'm a lot less stupid when I set up AuraMastery to ding at me when I can hit a reaction ability or my resources filled up (well, for the ones that build instead of drain). Oh and of course there's a bulk mail opener for the auction junkies, I forget the name.

It's incredibly disappointing that between Closed Beta (which I participated in) and Open Beta that there's been seemingly nothing done on optimization. The game still runs like absolute crap on my computer and I have a mid-range system. I was expecting them to have this sorted out by this point, especially since they're nearing launch, but it seems like I'm not the only person still running into this issue.

Taear posted:It's bizzare to me that 15/20 is unplayable, I've played games without too much issue at 10 or even 5 (usually PvP ones where it's super duper crowded at this point). As someone who not so long ago poked at ini files and SM3 emulators just to get games working at >10 fps, let me tell you that the difference between 20-30 and 30-40fps is enormous, never mind Wildstar's 15-30 with dips well under 10 fps. The best part is that it runs so poorly because the rendering engine does stupid poo poo not actually complex visuals and effects.

I could only stand playing this game for about 2 hours. Whether it's the lack of weight to everything in the world, the terrible quests or the poor performace I couldn't really say. The fact that it's not F2P is insane to me.

It's weird how performance can vary so wildly, but all I can personally say is that for me performance has never been better (i5-2500k, 660ti, 8GB ram). Most people I've spoken to also seem to have it running smoothly whereas it wasn't just a week or two back. I will say that some further tweaking of quest flow might be good. I personally like where it is now, but I know not everyone enjoys optimizing questing routes on their own like I do. I think just making breadcrumb quests more obvious would go a long way for that. The last few pages really seem filled with the olympic games of hyperbole and leaping to conclusions, but then again that is the time-honored, traditional way of

I think in my case the performance has gone backwards. I swear I had to tune down even more graphical options down to minimal this time around. But I'm still getting a flickery slideshow. Recommended requirements, my rear end. Really, this is getting stupid. I started with really liking this game, but if I can't play it even though those guys keep telling me I can, then I just give up. I guess I have to put the game on the backburner for a few more years, because no way in hell do I upgrade my PC just for a game. Games can wait. If Wildstar is still around in 2-3 years, maybe I'll try it out then. I guess the sample size has gone up by count of one, now.

Of all the complaints, the one I don't get is the "terrible quests". It's 100% standard MMO fare. With the exception of GW2, I've done exactly the same quests in every other game. Questing is dull and boring, no matter whether it's a public quest to save a farm or collecting 10 bear asses.

Questing is dull and boring, no matter whether it's a public quest to save a farm or collecting 10 bear asses. It's because in this game they're obviously zero effort. There's no neat setpieces, there's no interesting premise or any imagination at all. It's just "go click this poo poo on the ground. Go click this other poo poo." I got up to level, I think 13? Before I finally threw my hands up and quit and the game hasn't stopped feeling like a tutorial yet. By comparison, FFXIV, the most recent theme park mmo to come out with a similar model, takes the same quests and at least adds cool flavor and some level of excitement to rehased MMO quests. Hell, the latest wow expansion which I didn't enjoy at all after leveling was a FUN leveling experience. I'm sure it was awful after the second or third time, but the first time you were going through neat zones, exploring pretty much however you wanted to explore, and followed a number of interesting storylines throughout. Admittedly, in this game I just followed the Chua/medic path so it might be different for others, but this was like a 3 hour tutorial followed by going to a guy who says "I AM A GENERAL, GO AND FIGHT FOR ME" and then... that's it. I agree with you that on-rails MMO quest structure is almost always the same. I disagree that it has to be soulless and boring though. edit: for clarity, all the effort in this game obviously went into canned animations (which half the time you can't notice because the game is either running at 15 FPS or a blurry, murky mess) and edgy jokes like the HOLY poo poo level up sound. Both of these things are fine, if the rest of the game is solid. This? This is honestly like playing an mmo that was made in 2005 and held until last week.

You see, you have to make something revolutionary or you're a worthless failure and so is your game! This is why I go to RTS threads and complain about all the micromanagement, because that is totally a flaw instead of a feature of the genre.
