Oh wow, I totally fell for that. I should have known better, no one actually plays Wildstar in the Wildstar thread(or in general).

noELrunes posted:This is the end for a whole genre to me. In my opinion WildStar is by far the best themepark mmo released after WoW. It has the best and most challenging pve content in decades. It has one of the best combat systems which is action/skill based and there is a ton of highly polished content. Its in my opinion the best F2P game on the market and should never ever face all these population / revenue problems. Instead it should have a healthy 6-7 digit playerbase. After WoW transforming into everything i hate about today's themeparks (starting with WotlK), wildstar is basically exactly what i always hoped and dreamed for wow to come back to. So in that sense, wildstar is some sort of WoW 2.0 and the best thing in years to me, and to a lot of other guys (especially older players that loved vanilla/tbc in wow and are now raiding in wildstar) I knew this was a quote but lol I've played MMOs since loving EverQuest and I remember raiding in that piece of poo poo game, and WoW was an improvement but still absolute dogshit in terms of being fun and engaging content. I sincerely wonder what this guy does for a living cause I work 40 hours a week and even if I wanted to waste my time raiding nightly for hours on end I couldn't pull it off.

I'm just sad WildStar getting thrown on the trash heap that includes Defiance is gonna make developers even more gunshy when it comes to straying from the tired old fantasy formula to make a sci-fi MMO. I want to waste my time and money in a sci-fi setting drat it.

Wildstar was as much a sci-fi setting as The Burning Crusade was in WoW, though. I was really hoping for something other than rips from WoW zones, but not so much.

I've now played this game for a few hours and I don't get it at all. The environments are polished enough but everything else is a confusing, unengaging mess.

Apparently everyone else did too because everyone in the guild i was in quit. I should find more Wildstar.txt because i haven't seen blinders on this bad before.

If you want to see some magnificent blinders you can always warm your hands at the dumpster fire that is star citizen. Wildstar does have its share of those people, but they don't have that peak excitement and hype from a game not being out yet* so some of the logical backbending is really just awe inspiring. *or ever

Defiance was just so loving bad. I had some hopes for it thanks to RIFT, but god drat. The most original sci-fi MMO I have played was Anarchy Online. I also did not like it.

I'm still here. Being sensible about things, of course; a game dev's life in this business is understanding that you probably shouldn't purchase a home or have nice furniture, lest you have to shift your life to another state in a week. There haven't been any unreported layoffs or anything. We're still working on new things, fixing bugs, etc.

I still think Wildstar's at least okay, but I won't pretend I haven't been playing Project Gorgon instead of ever reaching WS endgame. Will still be sorry to see it go if it does, it did have decent dress-up and housing, and sci-fi MMOs (with fun alien character options, not just humans in space) do deserve to be more common than they are.

And yep, Winterfest went off pretty well, which I was happy about since it was my feature. Needed to do more load and scaling testing on the city event, but there's only so much I can do internally. I was also happy because it meant I didn't get called into the office from another state during Christmas.
