My favourite Wildstar memory was having AMD components anywhere in my computer, and when I complained that the game ran like rear end, being shouted down by countless goons that my computer was bad and I should feel bad, until Carbine admitted that they had literally never tested anything at all on any AMD hardware, and that there was exactly zero optimization done on anything at all.

Nvidia vs AMD comparisons aside, it is absolutely hilarious to hear about a company that is hoping to attract millions of players and hardly do any testing at all on AMD. WS dropped the ball in a lot of ways but other than certain core design decisions I would say that their QA process but by far the worst part. Of course, this is based on my hip shot opinion as an outsider looking in so yeah.

Arzachel posted:The GPUs are fine and usually a good deal cheaper. The GPUs aren't fine, they require a great deal of specialized code to make them work properly on OpenGL if you want to use anything that even sort of looks like an arb. They also can't really handle texture sampling in the vertex shader and only cards made in the last year or two support it at all, meaning that most modern terrain rendering techniques are cut off to you. AMD are rear end for developers to work with and have been for a really long time. The whole mantle project was built on the idea that they've been hawking for a few years now, that AMD cards aren't bad, everyone just needs to stop using card-agnostic graphics libraries and write entire renderers targetted only at AMD GPUs.

AMD haven't released a WHQL driver set since SEPTEMBER. Nvidia have release at least 10 sets with regular updates as new AAA games are released in the same time (the nvidia driver browser only shows the last 10 sets of WHQL drivers, which goes back as far as the start of november). AMD's support is loving awful.

Like here, read Eric Lengyel talking about his ongoing war with AMD driver support in 2006. quote:As already mentioned, only Nvidia properly implements FrameBuffer Objects, and this is currently required for post-processing effects. (It's very likely, though, that we will implement legacy pbuffer support for ATI hardware, but it will be significantly slower.) I spoke to ATI representatives in person about this issue about a month ago, and I was told that they will not implement the rest of FBO functionality until late this year at the earliest. I don't know what their problem is. If you'd like to prod them about it, please write a professional email to ATI's developer relations people (devrel@ati.com) asking for support for the GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil extension. quote:dxben wrote: quote:dxben wrote: When making a game, you can pick two: Good AMD support, modern techniques, a single renderer implementation.

I'm the example from 2006, also laughing if you think that special game optimization is unique to AMD. Still, also laughing at how bad Wildstar is. The trainwreck was incredibly evident even back during the betas.

Does that free 10 day trial for old subscribers still exist? Maybe I should martyr myself by logging in and seeing if they've fixed the weird crashes.

Mormon Star Wars posted:Does that free 10 day trial for old subscribers still exist? Maybe I should martyr myself by logging in and seeing if they've fixed the weird crashes. In the current theme of the thread I reinstalled this game and ran around for a little bit. I upgraded my processor from one that was seven years old. Since I last played. (Core2Duo something to i7) Same video card but the performance difference in basically every game I try has been unlike anything since upgrading my 486 to a Pentium 266. Wildstar runs about the same and I'm not loving joking. I mean a little better sure but not smoothly, apparently this game is incapable of running smoothly.

Wildstar ran okay for me on an HD4000, but then I did have to switch to low settings (with textures tweaked higher). I'm so used to playing old-rear end games though that I don't even notice low quality settings most of the time.  Didn't crash for me either.And yeah the free trial is still a thing, mine just ended. I'd never been subbed before, but the page said old subbed accounts could get the trial too. mushroom_spore fucked around with this message at 22:39 on May 22, 2015 |

Unless they changed it, the button to cancel your subscription isn't right there on the main account page. You had to go to transaction history or something like that first, and it was off to the side. As if anyone who was really sick of paying for the game would be thwarted by navigating an extra page or two.

The trial is still there and apparently if you had CREDD from days gone by, it's magically still there even though it's supposed to be deleted after 90 days or some such. I still have all mine. Here's the fun thing however. If you used the google auth thing at launch and have since formatted your PC or switched phones and don't have the seed code, you have to contact support to get the 2 step auth removed on your account. This could take anywhere from a day to a week I'm hearing so make sure you got that poo poo squared away before you start the trial.

The game was packed full of people for the first month, but I remember buying 2 months of in-game time with gold and after that first month Velika had maybe like 4 people in it. Also, you had to do Every. Single. Quest. to level and iirc you -had- to do the dungeons to even unlock the next set of story quests. there was a point in the early 40s where I ran out of quests to do and had to grind on panthers for a level just to even get a few more quests. It was a pain in the rear end. The game has come a long way since launch. I have a feeling that with a similar F2P model, Wildstar will actually see similar success. That is, if the devs somehow get a little less retarded (probably not likely).

quote:57 pages and still not a single word from Carbine on the subject. It's quite disappointing to watch them let their game fall to pieces while they suck up every cent they can get. The integrity is gone. TimeTravel needs to find a studio that will appreciate his abilities and the rest of the studio should start thinking about career changes. quote:I loved WildStar, and as much as I'll keep fighting for it's population, deep down I'm ready for this game to die so the talent can go where it's potential will be set free. Why? They listened to the wrong people, started giving handouts and nerfing content. Let a single class reign supreme for nearly a year without EVER nerfing it, just more reworks. Every addition to the game for the last 3 drops has been to appeal to the "5 minute gamer". quote:The ONLY thing they've done since launch that can even vaguely be considered hardcore is the introduction of these exceptional runes and only because it take so long to get a set; no difficulty involved. quote:Another huge misconception from the misinformed. Never once have I ever been told how I should play, outside of being told that a ceryain fight requires interrupts or a CC break, which by no means is unreasonable. Guys, we've got it all wrong. Wildstar is the most casual game on the market. Wrap it up, Aurinailures.
