Telling people you got a friends and family invite to the beta was a sackable offence for the person at carbine who gave you the key. Even beta codes are hardcore in wildstar

Literally The Worst posted:Realtalk I resubbed WoW a week or so ago and I've been catching up on TV while I level to 100. So far I've banged out two seasons of The Shield and one of Justified, this is easily the best way to play WoW. I stopped playing mmos when I sat down and considered the fact that the only way I could enjoy it was by enjoying something else while glancing at it every so often.

BigPaddy posted:The anniversary MC40 was great because they didn't scale back on any of the BS mechanics like core hound packs and all the decursing that was needed so it was an utter poo poo show. You can see it was entirely intended to be able to show people 'no it wasn't better back then, it was worse, shut the gently caress up and enjoy actual good raiding content you clowns'. The speedrunning gating in the attunement chain blows my mind though. I did the full set of CM golds and there was a specific jumping trick that if you didn't get right a minute into everbloom you reset and went again. The longest runs were about 25 minutes and that was taxing to the point of being unrealistic for most people. Asking for that level of concentration for over an hour is taking the piss.

I can't believe nobody mentioned the obvious way to monetise hardcore gamers. Charge a double price premium sub which doesn't change the loot or visuals or anything, but makes the game arbitrarily harder for you but not anyone you play with. So you can prove you are truely hardcore you get an icon next to your name like say

My wow guild saw the announcement for the MC event and planned out a fun weekly raid for all the oldies who used to raid but stopped as the content got less forgiving with each expo. We were having no trouble with progression in highmaul. One night experiencing the joys of molten core and we never went back. Also, on the shameful and expensive lessons topic  This taught me that when a dev says the launch patch will fix X they are lying. It also taught me never to buy a game with a lifetime sub option.

The Moon Monster posted:Did that game even last long enough to make the lifetime subscription cheaper than subscribing month to month? I know subscribers never really got anything of value, making that Penny Arcade hilariously inaccurate in retrospect. Nope. They never even supplied any sub only content even. The first sub-only event got changed to free as a sop because the game was so badly hosed.

Thunderbro posted:I remember being so excited for Hellgate London but waiting a bit like I always do. I was so relieved I didn't get it when I saw the first legit screenshots go out. The non-summoner caster and the ranger classes were actually really fun. It could have been a really good game if it wasn't a terrible buggy mess with awful netcode and monetisation. Its the sort of game I could see working really well now with advances in proceedural generation and netcode and things. As it was I got flagshipped. It was the first game I remember being sold on 'the people who made [game] are now making what they really wanted' except it was the diablo people and a diablo shooter. Diablo and shooters were my thing and I was a lot younger and a lot more niave.

The Moon Monster posted:This is weird because WS felt way more like Burning Crusade than Vanilla WoW to me. Vanilla tried to be a living breathing world, like previous MMOs, to some extent while BC just went full themepark. If anything Wildstar took this even further since it was pretty much just a linear path to max level. Wait, if there was no BRD, how did a dungeon take 75 minutes to speedrun, or don't I want to know??

During the closed beta I saw the game 'progressing' and saw enough by level 13 to stay well away. I feel bad for anyone who paid money for this game, but then I also feel bad for people who put money into crowfall or archage.

Its not so much a thing now because WoW has locked down the scripting so much but back in the good old days of discord action bars and cooperative healing you could easily kill your pc with your ui.

Arzachel posted:Sucks that it pulled some cool things down with it but it's a good thing it failed, yeah. Nothing unique died with this game though. GW2, FF14, WoW (Even loving TOR with its space combat game hidden inside) and others all already present everything Wildstar did in a fundamentally better package. If there was something in Wildstar you liked, there is at least 1 mmo doing it better. If what you wanted was a pretty princess renovation rescue game there are so many better games you could be playing for that experience, or gently caress it, leard a 3d CAD package and start making your own loving architecture.

As someone who raided hardcore from vanilla to wrath and then highmaul and played a lot of focus testing stuff in the raids in beta of wildstar, wildstar is for the mmo equivalent of the socio-economic concept of the temporarily embarassed millionaire.

AMD haven't released a WHQL driver set since SEPTEMBER. Nvidia have release at least 10 sets with regular updates as new AAA games are released in the same time (the nvidia driver browser only shows the last 10 sets of WHQL drivers, which goes back as far as the start of november). AMD's support is loving awful.

I hope that was a troll post because if not  I enjoyed doing the CMs because it was a group of friends pushing each other to play at our best. I stopped playing wow because 20 mans had enough people I didn't want to spend time gaming with that it made me reconsider what I wanted to get out of my free time. Now I play dota with the people I did CMs with and we are having fun again! defining your mmo experience by the loot you get is a fast track to disappointment. You should really be defining it about the fun times you have with people you enjoy playing videogames with, the loot just helps you have more fun times!

Lucy Heartfilia posted:What are FF14'S glaring issues? It's the most fun MMO I've played so far. The combat is slow as poo poo, the action heartbeat is way too long, the AH is garbage, the bank system is garbage, the cosmetic system is garbage, trying to catch up to current content means wading through literal months of story content to unlock the most recent raids and group finders, because of how bad the inventory management system is crafting class leveling is painful as hell, materia melding having a fail chance like some cut price korean f2p mmo, if you weren't playing when the personal housing came out you are never getting one It has stuff that could keep you playing but it also has a whole lot of unfun bullshit if you don't want to perservere.

Libluini posted:This is literally the definite description of every fantasy MMO ever. In WoW, which is a terrible game for its own reasons, you don't need to: -go to a specific spot, call a helper with a horrible clunky menu to access your bank/auction house/sold items -Find somebody or make your own special items then find someone with the right professions to do cosmetic skins on items -Complete the chain to open highmaul to enter blackrock foundry (or even complete a chain to enter a raid) WoW has a realtime action heartbeat so if you aren't standing in an aoe when it goes off you don't get hit by it, not have to be out of it before the most recent heartbeat refresh. Putting gems in your gear doesn't have a random chance to fail, taking a weeks worth of gil with it when it gets deleted. You can craft from your bank, which has a dedicated materials tab. Not even wildstar locks you out of player housing if you weren't there when the first rush happened. There is good reasons to play ff14, they release new good content regularly and the encounters are well designed by mmo standards and all the classes are fun, there is just a gently caress tun of clunky unfun bullshit which gets glossed over by the people who have a burning love for it.

sword_man.gif posted:dot/hot effects, passive mana regeneration are tied to a background tick, and everything ticks at the same time, together Maybe they have fixed aoes but last time I played something like cragdad was loving obviously hosed. It was even worse around ARR launch though. I had absolutely no trouble dodging all sorts of bullshit aoes in wow but cragdad was impossible to dodge the aoes unless I was moving as he started turning, not when the tell displayed on my screen. With Auctions, you do need to go to an AH but you don't need to click through a horrible tree menu from a SNES rpg to get to the sale window and you can collect the completed sale money from any mailbox. Really anything that interacts with your follower is godawful. I think saying 'gently caress doing content is fair when its not just running through all the coils and all the loving story quests relating to them, but also the entire loving plot since release if you want to do primals. Its like locking updated onyxia or ruby sanctum behind the entire plot of the expansion pack. Is it hard to understand that people don't want to go through all the FF flavoured mmo fetch quests to be able to do the fun stuff (raids/dungeons). Its attunement and I thought this thread had already realised attunement is bad and dumb.

Omnicrom posted:For what it's worth Titan's Weight of the Land is widely scorned for being a twitchy bastard move. There's really nothing in the game quite as unforgiving as Titan, having cleared all the way through Turn 13 there's literally not other AOE I've seen that's been as unforgiving and cheap. I've honestly had a lot more trouble with regards to getting clipped by AoEs in World of Warcraft as well, I've always found it way easier to dodge in FF14. I didn't ever say FF14 was a bad game overall if it helps. I was just saying that its not a universally awesome experience that people seem to claim a lot. I think if they changed inventory to match how it works in wow, let you que for dungeons while you have your chocobo out, not lock instances behind story quests and let everyone have a house then it would be a better mmo than wow. I still wouldn't play it because I am done with mmos but its a real shame that some of the game is so bad because the rest is so good.
