They may have gone free to play but they didn't reduce the ugly art design factor so

I was under the impression that wildstar would not ever be going free to play because that's for scrub games.Wildstar posted:“Free-to-Play is for games that suck, or have failed, and that’s that! ‘Wildstar’ does not suck, nor has it failed, so we won’t be going Free-to-Play.!” Oh I guess it's cause it sucks and failed.

Going free2play is just this game's way of going on life support long enough for them to figure out where the heck someone left the screwdriver to undo the clamps on the servers

If they sold it to someone who likes to make good fun games - like Blizzard - with the art assets and all, they might be able to pull a nice F2P game out of the rubble. There are actually small parts that are fun. It's like SWTOR - they had horrible grind quests with awful mob placement which made the storyline fade into screams of poo poo. When they put in 12x storyline XP, it became very fun to play. They finally realized "our planetary quests are in the most part poo poo" and got rid of the necessity for the player to trudge through such below-standard crap questing. Same could go for this game - if they actually could trim the poo poo (raid dipshittery) from the good parts, subcontract Blizz to revamp some questlines and mechanics, and silence their current "fans" to get real feedback from the rest - then they could have a chance at a profitable, slightly growing game. But that would cost money and ego so it will not happen.

There are actually small parts that are fun. This would be better, but then it would also leave a very big void. Removing the tedious parts of the game would leave very little for players to do at end game. They do need to reform these tedious parts and make it all much more fun and accessible but that is not enough. They need to give the players something more enjoyable to do as well that isn't raiding and takes quite a bit of time. The other option is to release content on a strict schedule but we all know how well that worked for them previously.

Today I got an e-mail telling me Wildstar goes F2P. Which is quite funny, considering weeks ago I said to myself: "The game is nice enough once in a while, but I'll sure as hell don't want to pay money for it every month.". Time to reinstall!

Turning the game into a more complete and accessible experience takes time and money and they've already pissed away a lot of their time and money with the original HARDCORE! model. I doubt they'll be allotted enough resources to try to bail it out properly.

SarutosZero posted:well it didnt take long for a "Heh you mad?" wildstar defense post to appear Well, are you? You seem to be quite mad. I quit Wildstar when everyone else did. I've dicked around a couple of times with the vet ship-hands since I had so much sub time remaining, but I don't really have any intention of playing anymore. Republicanus posted:If they sold it to someone who likes to make good fun games - like Blizzard - with the art assets and all, they might be able to pull a nice F2P game out of the rubble. There are actually small parts that are fun. Keeping the raid dipshittery could be fine if they broke down and did what literally everyone else does and have multiple difficulties. That and re-tuning it so it's not horrifyingly exhausting. Some parts of GA were fun, but that all got lost in the hours and hours of grinding though trash and over-tuned bosses where 1 small mistake by 1 person costs you the kill. I wouldn't really expect any of this in the near term though. They've got what, like 3 dudes left doing the raiding part?

I thought that was only a limited time thing to build hype for the newest expansion before it shipped.
