All signs seem to point toward the fact they couldn't roll back the changes even if they wanted to

Yeah they don't possess server roll-back technology. They gave most of the heavy offenders a slap on the wrist and a mean look, but didn't, you know, take their ill-gotten money away or anything lol

Babe Magnet posted:Yeah they don't possess server roll-back technology. They went from threatening permanent bans, to realizing they'd been banning a huge percentage of players and promising to be lenient if people came forward. Finally they handed out week bans and confiscated any duped currency players hadn't already spent. Anything bought with it was untouched. I think WildStar's teleporting bot problem may have stopped solely because there's no point anymore, just like the guy earlier whose account was hacked and then just abandoned with all the money making stuff on it.

It was the only thing making the game playable, you can't keep up with anything without having buttloads of diamonds or dropping cash.

Since Carbine HAS NO ROLLBACK CAPABILITY and barely handed out slaps on the wrist, the economy was irreparably damaged by an infinite stream of money from the dupe glitch, and some people can have active subscriptions for the life of the game for free.

Then I guess you'd sell those things back for more than you paid, rinse, repeat. there were a shitload of ways, but one of the bigger ones, in terms of how many people abused it (including me) was you could buy iron ore from the market at a pretty low price, be an architect and spam metal plates or planks or whatever they were, and vendor them. Your 20 silver investment would turn into like 1.5g or something, and then you just reinvest and do it over and over, getting a bigger and bigger bankroll as you go. I got up to 30 gold or so from doing it sparingly, and at the time I believe Plexx was going for like 5-6g apiece?

That was an early method which was largely nixed by the time that plex even came on the scene. The method did bankroll me becoming a master architect before I hit level 30.

I wouldn't really call that particular thing broken either. IIRC there wasn't any way to obtain the ore except from other players mining it, so it wasn't like an infinite money faucet. The really bad one I remember was being able to reprocess one of the vendor items (an implant I think) into poo poo that autosold for more than the cost of the implant.

well right now if you fight large amounts of mobs at once, apparently their deaths cause your client to poo poo itself and you lag super hard and all your moves get queued for like 10 seconds as more and more deaths pile up one of the early solo dungeons apparently is completely based around killing large amounts of poo poo at a time and it's pretty much unplayable lol generally though the flaws will start getting more and more apparent as you level. Stats will be retarded, gearing is stupid, dungeons are bad, quest zones are bland and mobs bounce between boring and over-tuned, the community thins out, and all along the way you're going to be dealing with stupid poo poo like bugs that were recorded since beta and framerate drops for no reason other than Carbine can't optimize anything and every time you level up some idiot yells at you and the game's writing is loving garbage Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Oct 5, 2015 |

There's a trend where new players are able to create a character and play the newbie stuff with little issue only to find out that the next time they try to login the game shits itself with network errors, long queues, and horrible bugs. Even if that wasn't the case you still have Whitevale. When the game was in its prime I never got that far because that involves playing Wildstar, but I hear the zone is filled with wonder.

So after installing the game a few days ago I've been unable to play without deleting the game files and reinstalling again. I did some digging to figure out what the hell was going on with it and apparently its a common issue for Windows 7 users. Oddly enough I've found a work around, and its using hotspot shield. No other proxy service will work, just hotspot shield. Can someone explain this poo poo to me?

I think I had to do some host file fuckery or something similar to fix it. e: There were a few threads about it on the official support forum at the time, I do recall. e2: Did any of the goon guilds actually do any of the raids?

Wildstar seems like such an interesting mixture of hubris, incompetence and a fairly well crafted marketing campaign. Of course, that will never happen since this is the video game industry and as long as everyone involved with this mess keeps their mouths shut they will fail upwards. Quite a few top level developers have already been hired by the likes of Blizzard.

I love to imagine how these people would've reacted to CoX's character creation if their sad, skinny chick with a fedora and FF7 sword is 'the most badass character' they've ever had. Their Facebook comments are a goldmine, though, and apparently some people are working on their loving thesis. quote:I know this is new for you youngins, but blizzard used to go through this every month in the beginning and they had to patch. Please take a deep breath. Logging into Tera another night or two while they sort this all out isn't gonna kill anyone. They are doing what they can as fast as they can. They sure as hell didn't bust their asses all month so you could be like, "You suck!". Were you playing the game when it was subscription? Were you there in the beginning, happy an MMO came out that wasn't magic and orcs? You want to be angry? Be angry two nations that have nothing to fight over are trying to start a long dead war back up. Be angry that that the Lesser of all the Evils running for president is Donald Trump. Be angry that you will pay back student loans for the rest of your life and not really have gained anything in return. Be angry we are so intent on killing on earth, that we forget we should be trying to live on other planets. Don't be angry you can't play a free game for a day or two. Be happy the game is there at all. Thank them for their 20 hour days, working hard so you play a game. So you might have a chance to forget for a brief second, how horrible a place you live in is. Be happy that instead of thinking about the people who just died while trying to go to school, you have the ability to escape into a game, any game. For free. That is a gift. quote:LoL... quote:All these people complaining about game not working and I'm like listening songs on youtube, running xsplit,logged in to facebook, logged in to league while playing wildstart without issues.. try playing on a proper pc rather than your gameboy ffs

Libluini posted:Isn't that a parody of 50 Shades of Grey? Looks like they at least put a single thought into this. There's more than one of those. In the Dominion zone after Levian Bay, you get a quest to investigate the house of a Radiant Legion guy whom the others suspect is having an affair with a media celebrity. All the books on his shelves sound like bad porn books including a 50 Shades of Grey parody but turn out to be very mundane. Another sidequest in the zone is getting lured into an ambush by following a trail of lost "romance" novels.

Everything I've seen of this game is full of grotesque looking caricatures of human life, set in a tepid environment that's both bland and gaudy at the same time. The best parts of the game generally look like they ripped off wow wholesale from 2005, while most of it looks like an unfinished indie game. But I hear praises about the art all the time. Can one of the fans actually show me something that looks decent?

I think the aesthetic is fine, but the character design tends to be awful. Notably for female characters given their stick waists. Like, ignoring their irritating personalities, the Chua have a lot of life to their animations and for the most part at least look just fine.
