I'm trying to make bad decisions but I don't even know where to go to download the game. I never bought it.

edit: oh I found it you have to hover over games at the top, then over wildstar, then there is a download button. It's probably smart that they hide it from initial sight.

the place you would normally download it is spotty or down or whatever from maintainance, you can go here to download it if you hate yourself.

If you can't see the forums then you can go here but I figured people might want to see what it is instead of just immediately downloading it or something. Choice.

Everybody at Carbine forgot that their mega-servers are actually just normal servers that they had to pretend were mega-servers. They started to believe the delusions of their fans.

Also game isn't supposed to be up for like 20 more minutes.

An exploit will be found, half the playerbase will farm it for days, saving up enough currency to use for years to come, Carbine will realize they forget to develop the capability to roll their servers back and just half-assedly patch out the exploit telling players that it'll be fine in the long run.

That actually happened once already.

eh, that would be different just because it's straight money out of carbine's pocket, rather than just some badges of justice or w/e they were called

whether they could actually fix it, though, :shrug:

She was a CM for wow and represented the Rogue class. Someone found out who her in-game character was and her armory showed she was using some crap weapon. Cue everyone collectively losing their poo poo about how she doesn't know how to rogue because obviously nobody ever equips weapons other than to min/max.

Ah so it like in GW2 where people raged out that one of the devs play a signet warrior and everyone got mad because he wasn't the meta.

Close... You forgot the part where she didn't think that rogues need buffs and her metric was that she does really well in pvp. Turns out she was using THE worst rogue weapons for pvp, because they were pretty much the fastest weapons out and rogues wanted slow wraps at the time. Sure people make mistakes building your character but when the person working for the company that makes the game is making wrong judgements and calls about building the class they are representing then that should raise some eyebrows.

Also wildstar is bad.

To be fair, the devs had zero clue how to play WoW for like 3 years. Some random person was the one who was like "hey weapon skill is good, here's some math" and pretty much all caster gear just had intellect, which at the time only increased mana pools.

Hell I still don't think they know how to play monks at all, and it's been a couple years since they came out.

It may well be that they have (I mean they've had plenty of time), but the minute I read that bolded part all the cat herding bullshit and attunement spreadsheet came bubbling back. I think I've just been spoiled by wow's flex raiding and wowgoons's signup apps and multiple raid groups.

True, and the conversion from 10m heroic to 20m mythic is what made most of my raid group fall apart in WoW (also something about Warlords being total poo poo, IDK) but god drat I go on and on to anyone that will listen about the aesthetic of this game being so good. The genetic archives area and the last couple zones, it was just like the sci-fi mmo poo poo I'd kind of always wanted between how good the music was and how cool some of the areas were (to me.)

It's a very pretty game and I never had any performance issues on max settings, but I had trouble making a character I was happy with because of the insane barbie proportions.

Open world pvp was cool and great until the exile population outnumbered us to hell and back and it became a matter of summoning half the guild just to contest the non-bugged world events required for attunement.

Is there a ton of people or is it just bad coding? because I am leaning to bad coding.

Both I'd wager. Still can't make new characters but Thayd is pretty drat packed with people, at least on the PvE server.
