I've made many a dumb choice in my life. Paying a dollar to try Wildstar was one of them.

I bought Payday 2 for $6 for my brother's birthday and got a Wildstar key to give to someone I don't like. Winning all round here.

Just when you thought Carbine couldn't possibly top their own stupidity/hubris they manage to do exactly that.

I bought the pack for the Warframe boosters and for the SMITE hero but I'll give this stupid game a try just out of curiosity. EDIT: I'm pretty confident that I hate this game already. EDIT 2: I want to punch whoever came up with the level up notification in this game square in the nose. El Generico fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jun 16, 2015 |

Figured I'd try this stupid awful thing since I got it with other stuff and of course the key is straight invalid. Good.

I like how they added previews of the gear you can look forward to for each class in character creation, just like wow, only it all looks like rear end.

Thunderbro posted:this is the proper response to wildstar, not "but at least I had fun talking to the one other sickbrained retard addicted to this game!!" it reminded me of the torgue DLC for borderlands 2, but I actually liked that dlc because it was an actual good game with some of that kind of humor on top of it. wildstar can't get away with that kind of humor because the game underneath it sucks and it turns from being funny to being insulting.

So this whole telegraph focused combat thing seems kinda pointless. I haven't had any incentivization to move around as I play other than occasionally walking out of a red zone. Otherwise I can just stand still and cast my abilities like any other MMO. Would I need to move around more while playing by end game or is it always this braindead?

The early stages just show the telegraphs - you can basically ignore them. As you progress they start becoming more mandatory to avoid though. Depending on your class and spec though, you will be moving alot or a little. The esper rarely moves in combat unless they are melee specced.

Eventually in group content the ground becomes a maze of overlapping telegraphs so you're constantly fleeing from one safe zone to the next

Would I need to move around more while playing by end game or is it always this braindead? The theory was that the telegraphs would slowly ramp up until dangerous while leveling. I never really gave a poo poo till you hit some of the "Wave" dailies at max level. End game dungeons require you to basically pull off decent rotations while constantly dodging/interrupting poo poo. I legitimately enjoyed learning the bosses in dungeons, but the skinner box was broken (Crafted loot that you made 3 weeks ago was better) and the arbitrary time limit to get attuned was stupid so it all fell a little flat. Specifically on Stormtalon's last boss (The titular stormtalon) if you stayed still for more than 3 seconds odds are you just wiped.

So the combat does get a bit more interesting towards the end. The issue I'm running into at the moment is the finger gymnastics. I don't have a problem constantly moving my hand off WASD to pop cooldowns or cast spenders, but constantly mashing the main attack key (or holding it) while moving is a bit silly. I could bind 1 to my mouse thumb button I guess.  What's the end game look like content wise? I assume dungeons/PvP are a no-go given the low population.

Maybe you'll run into one of those fun client side bugs they never fixed, the ones where the official response is to make a new character.

I could bind 1 to my mouse thumb button I guess. You could give the Lockdown or YetAnotherCombatMod addons a try. They give you mouse look and actions bound to the Left/Right mouse buttons similar to Tera or Neverwinter. I finally settled on YetAnotherCombatMod but they both seem similar enough.

Mormon Star Wars posted: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.

Wildstar standard edition and 30 days of gametime are in the current humble bundle, which means you can get it for a cent. Way to make the inevitable upcoming F2P transition obvious, guys.
