"The WarZ", a terrible ripoff of DayZ made by the same guys that made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rikTiT2OwqQ had a goon thread with people defending it because they "had fun playing with goons for a few hours". The game was so bad valve actually removed it from steam.

So, Wildstar is in the "E3 Digital Ticket" Humble Bundle, and they realized a little too late that maybe giving people game time for pennies a month was not a good idea

worth mentioning you'll still get all the "owned the game" f2p benefits if you buy it for like a penny from humble bundle so that might be worthwhile for anyone interested

Carbine can't even do humble bundle keys right. The original description on the humble bundle website said that you could use the key on an existing account for a free 30 days, Carbine's twitter says that you could use the key on an existing account for a free 30 days but the system isn't working right, Carbine employees on their forums are saying that it was never intended that you be able to use the key to get 30 days and you should try to get a refund.  edit: Okay that's a little mean, but it's still hilarious that even "being featured in a humble bundle" can't be an non-dramatic positive when it comes to Wildstar.

"I wouldn't pay a sub fee for this but it seems okay and I'd keep playing it if it ever goes f2p." Not as good or polished as Guild Wars 2 - I ran into multiple weird bugs just during the trial period - but it does have good housing and playing sci-fi rather than fantasy for once is a nice change. I only played stalker though so I know nothing about any other classes. mushroom_spore fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Jun 15, 2015 |

Engineer is close to an Unholy DK with their pet bots, but the pet AI in Wildstar is just like old school WoW, so if you want to relive the magic of your pets blundering into things and getting you killed, go for it.

Timely reminder that they managed to gently caress things up so bad the public test realm would propagate changes to the live servers in addition to being absolutely, completely worthless for publicly testing patches since it was all ignored and pushed to live anyway.

This has to be an elaborate (and also retardedly short-sighted) scheme to dump WildStar onto HumbleCo or declare bankruptcy when they get sued/cited for failing to uphold their contract. Becasue being lovely developers is one thing but this is a whole new ballgame of  .

Using the code for $1 game time on my existing account didn't work, so I just used my 10 day trial. I thought logging in during the birthday thing would get me counted for the items, but the news thing upon logging in says you have to be subscribed from today until the game goes F2P to get anything. gently caress Carbine so hard.
