On the plus side, you'll get to do CC/praetorium "properly" once the expansion comes out and people are getting level synced down to 52 to do it.

To be fair, you can make a Duskwight that looks like a Wildwood and vice versa. The clan part is almost entirely meaningless.

...But yeah my neighbor Zaknafein Do'Urden is almost certainly a fellow Duskwight and that hurts me :negative:

Actually, Wildwood skin tones are browner (fleshier toned) than those of Duskwights and their hair colour options are more saturated. Same situation as suncat vs mooncat. Not as obvious in char creation but once you sit in Limsa in clear weather it gets real obvious.

Your odds might be worse since it's both a weekend and a fresh patch. A couple weeks before the patch I had two friends transfer to excal, and they both managed to get it done around 5-6 AM CST. I'd normally say your odds would be great as long as you check back often, but I don't know how much the patch has messed that up.

As someone who transferred to excal relatively recently, I can say that it's definitely worth trudging through the bullshit to do. Goons have been nothing but chill and helpful since I got here, I can't overstate how much it adds to the experience. Don't get discouraged!

Before it came out I thought Wildstar looked pretty cool and I came very close to pre-ordering it. I really dodged a a bullet there, considering I brought AoC when it came out. I remember the hype train where goons went from "oh hey this game is pretty awesome" to a week later being "god this game is poo poo".

The game has a great aesthetic, but that's about it. The devs are crazy catering to the most hardcore niche and the toxic community really shows that. Example here where a guy new to 50 comments that the road to raiding is way too hard and the majority tell him he's dumb to assume he can do -anything- (including battlegrounds and dungeons) without joining a guild first and should just quit. https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/121302-wildstar-i-came-i-saw-i-unsubbed/

Keep in mind this game is bleeding subs at an alarming rate. And they still behave this way. I'd take a million of our WeiShans over that community.

This is how the Aion community acts as well. NC Soft being involved with an MMO is pretty much a huge red flag and I'd need some amazing reviews from people I trust to even consider going near a game they're involved with in any way. This included Guild Wars 2.

e: Complete with the "grats on level cap, now go farm mindlessly for countless hours to get some gear that once you fully enchant and manastone might be enough for people to consider letting you play with them, but probably not."

I don't understand these people, like I literally can't parse their thought processes. Do they really believe they're the chosen few who are the "true gamers" and that the people who quit/never join/can't handle the grind aren't worthy? Or is it just that they've invested so much time into the mess that they can't bear the idea of it all having been for nothing as the game is obviously headed in the direction of shutting down, so they get hyper aggressive to anyone with a different opinion?

Yes. They do their billing through some other service and you only get the key once that other service finishes doing its thing.

Sometimes it's pretty prompt and within a few minutes, sometimes it takes its sweet time.

the best part about goon hype for Wildstar wasn't just the hype train, but the goons in the beta who were insulting people and trying to run them off for talking about issues that the game still has lmao

So there's no reason to get FF14 on steam over buying it directly from the source, and vice versa, right?

This happens with every single "goon hyped" game as far as I can remember. AoC was horrible but goons clung to it for several weeks, don't know how long Wildstar lasted until it became universal joke with them.

I remember the ff14 hype was basically "This game is pretty good guys, not for everyone but pretty good" the difference is its been a year and a half and not only is that still true the game is actually better than our original hype now.

I tried last night(the 23rd) between 3 and 7am est, hitting the refresh server button pretty neurotically, and it never opened. All of the other limited servers did but not Excalibur. I was lucky enough to have an old low level 1.x character on Excalibur that I never touched so I just transferred him.

I joined DGKK last night because I thought the post on ffgoons said there was no room in PBC. Is there?

People yelled at me for posting a non-NDA'd screenshot that was number tagged (so they can trace poo poo back to who posted it and, assumedly, fix their issues) saying the game looked like trash for how badly it ran, saying it ran badly because it was a beta and they were going to fix it just you wait.

I remember an RL friend of mine was loving losing his mind excited for Wildstar. I tried the beta, played about 10 minutes and the loving neon color scheme gave me a goddamn headache and I felt that it played like trash. He was not pleased with my thoughts.

It's amazing how many people thought it was the goddamn second coming.
