Never hopefully. There's far more important things to worry about fixing. I know someone who works at Carbine and they are never going to be told about this. This also takes too much organization to get working too. Two sides need to queue up at the same time and ideally both need to be full of people who are all in on this.

Nope, it's still in the game. its really not an exploit. I mean it requires no exploiting of mechanics, its just players agreeing to sit around and do literally nothing but trade capture points.

I'd emptyquote this, but the comedy remains either way. Who wants to actually make the guild/a guild for general fuckery? Apparently dynasty isn't playing, or isn't looking at the social tab.

I think the census earlier in this thread was that no one wants to do this because you have to be subscribed.

I think you can buy the rights from the store, or have it from being a previous subscriber? I dunno. Manifest Dynasty made Goon Squad on Entity Exiles.

He actually got me into the guild, but I can't invite :v: And apparently, you can't send guild invites from an account friend request, which is the only thing that alerts you, apparently.

Is this game still terrible? I know its free, but 20gb of games files or whatever it is in size seems unnessesary for a bad game that i will probably uninstall after 20 minutes (that may be an optimistic assessment of time)

Manifest Dynasty
Feb 29, 2008
Yeah, I'm definitely still playing. Just send a friend request to Manifest Dynasty if you want into the guild.

Yeah it's great my main legitimate source of experience and prestige that actually helped the team now does nothing. It was great to be able to log on for a quick game, cap a bunch of flags, get good exp/prestige and be done.

Not sure if it's funnier that NCSoft decided to publish this game or that some consumers decided to pay money for it.

I glanced at the title of the top post on that subreddit. "I wish I didn't have to say this but please stop reporting posts you personally disagree with as "sexualizing minors."

Someone will say 'wildstar is bad' and someone else will report it as sexualizing minors, because they assume the mods don't read anything and will instantly ban the user and delete their post.

Or so I assume.

In spite of the detractors, yeah. There's a handful of us on Entity, on the Exiles side. I don't know if there's anything Dominion side or not, but I doubt it, and I don't think there will be unless Manifest makes something since I think he's the only person actually subscribed right now.

You can add 'Manifest Dynasty' or 'Nikolai Volgin' to get an invite to Goon Squad. The game's improved a fair bit, but it's still Wildstar so if there was something that wasn't just quality of life issues that kept you away, I don't think you'll like it. :v:

Hoverboards are rad as gently caress, mining nodes sometimes turning into giant worm bosses that lead to time-limited harvest tunnels are rad as well, animations are decent enough.

Rest is pretty meh. Easy to turn off your brain and coast, though

Crimson Blade sounded familiar and then I googled it and found out it was Scarlet Blade and it was that creepy titty MMO I had seen ads for on wowhead and lovely wikis.

You take the blue paarp - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red paarp - you stay in pre-alpha, and I show you how deep the sperg wallet goes.

Is the ratio of posts shifting, a worrying number of posts coming in seem to be from people playing the game just for fun or something
