Those teeth aren't solely the fault of bad oral hygiene. She inherited some awfully unfortunate genes. They're out of place, not just poorly maintained.

going by what i read itt carbine has development practices so terrible compared to which invisible bunnies is p much nothing

like literally not testing patches and putting them out on live instead of test and stuff

That wasn't the problem at all. The problem is game breaking bugs would be reported and well documented on both /bug reports and forums posts but the devs would go "Well we need to make this patch cycle so gently caress it, throw it in we'll fix it next month!"

This admittedly happens in every MMO to some degree or another, the difference being other MMO's did things called "Hotfixes" after major patches to fix the major game stoppages. Carbine just said "gently caress it, it can wait till next cycle" sometimes leaving entire classes out in the cold for a month or more.

My personal "Straw that broke the camels back" was one of these. The class that I really meshed with was Spellslinger, one of the best amps from spellslinger would knock .5 seconds off every cooldown every time you spammed your basic filler attack. Every cooldown. Carbine decided this was a bit too powerful (Probably true) and modified it so it would reduce damage cooldowns by .5 seconds and utility cooldowns by .25 (Most stuns/CC breaks etc were utility cooldowns). The problem is they never modified the UI timers to reflect this, so beyond your "Do damage" cooldowns you had absolutely no clue if any of your utilities were off cooldown because their actual cooldown status wasn't reflected by the UI in any way shape or form.

This made doing dungeons impossible as you needed to strip their CC armor off in order to avoid wipe mechanics, so I'd be frantically mashing my CC utility buttons which said they were available, but where actually still on a cooldown that was 100% hidden from me because carbine is loving retarded.

This state of affairs was allowed to sit for over a month, pretty much stalling every non healer SS.

By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Really though, it's not a bad f2p system. It seems like a more generous version of SWTOR's, without all the access restriction bullshit. No having to buy tokens to raid or dumb escrow poo poo.

I don't think you understand where "pay2win" comes from

there were MMOs that were f2p that had endgame content you could literally not beat without the cash shop potions and items that made you strong enough to survive

what they're doing is basically "pay2convenience"

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

This is a good F2P conversion.

Quick rundown.

Subscribers get:

- Extra slots on the AH and Commodities stuff
- 25% extra XP and currency
- More bank slots, char slots, etc. normal stuff for f2p
- Priority queue

Everyone gets:

- All dungeons, endgame content, etc
- Housing (1000 item limit for free, 2000 item limit for subs)
- All races, classes, etc

Seems rad

See yall in f2p wildstar

it's not really that tame compared to some other mmos. this is more like the tera model, which isn't great, but is better than a lot of models out there.

saying something is 'normal for f2p' is kind of stupid, cause the standards have fallen pretty far since the first ones were introduced. people's tolerance for a good f2p system are way worse than they were even a couple of years ago, due to all the absolutely poo poo ones out there.

bear in mind this is the state at the time of announcement. people need to wait to see the full details before declaring anything extreme on either side ('oh it's great!' or 'oh it's awful!'), and it could always get worse months (or longer) after the f2p transition happens.

on another note, lol, this happened sooner than i thought it would. i wonder how much good it will actually do to a game that has an actively toxic brand. we'll have to wait and see, i suppose.

i still wont play the game, and nobody else should, too, jesus christ (did you even read any of the criticism?).

edit: vvv yeah the stuff that can drop from mobs is a fine addition, but it's probably going to be one of those where there's quite a lot of grinding to get anything worthwhile. which i guess is fine? you'd need full details first, but it's better than having nothing at all

Yeah, it sounds basically like SWTORs system, or GW2 without the box price. Omnibits are a bit novel, in that you can grind for them. SWTOR gives you cartel coins for achievements, but those are once per account. At any rate, you are probably looking at some serious grind to get anything worthwhile, but it's a nice little bonus.

This sounds perfectly standard F2P. It should work pretty well.
