Dr Snofeld posted:I hope the composer gets more work, at least. Of all the things wrong with Wildstar, the soundtrack wasn't one of them. Sadly I liked a lot of individual things about Wildstar, unfortunately the game as a whole had too many bugs and poo poo decisions dragging it down.

I still find it hilarious that the #1 guild in WS outright cheated like hell on the first weeks, and Carbine wasn't willing to do poo poo to them. The Moon Monster posted:The straw that broke the camel's back for me was that the performance got worse and worse with every patch until doing some boss fights was more or less impossible. That and my first month was up. Yeah, I gave up on the silver medal grind when the server loving up killed a great attempt on the one dungeon I needed.

You can waste a lot of money glamouring your low level gear and then hit max level and have nothing to pay for upgrades to get past the initial ilvl hump.

Asimo posted:Pretty much. There's nothing inherently wrong with single-planet sci-fi, and if carbine played up the "wild new frontier" angle and used more sci-fi style tropes and enemies then it would have worked just fine. But instead it was just Azeroth with laser guns. There's small missions on asteroids and an entire section is on the moon orbiting the main planet, along with a few places where you're on an allied/enemy capital ship. It's not planet spanning, but short of having each zone be it's own instanced "planet" I don't know how you'd go about this.

The player faction cities and towns are well-established, there's ~wacky~ not-fantasy races all over the drat place, there's no consistent tone to the setting, and all the quests are either focused around fantasy-style magic or are super-generic low-effort bear rear end fetch stuff. It's like cargo cult setting design; the developers literally had no idea how to make something not-WoW so they just threw some flashing lights atop the burning crusade formula and hoped that would make it distinct. I remember doing some stuff early on and wound up in some village of some not-fantasy locals doing some collectathons to help them with not-water elementals or something like that and I was sitting there the whole time thinking that if my guy wasn't swinging around a chainsaw sword then it would have been literally indistinguishable from WoW.

if Carbine wasn't imploding (or if lovely management wasn't _the_ problem), they could probably salvage something from this. After all, I remember City of Heroes being a loving buggy mess the first year or so and that managed to last quite a bit in the end.

My point was more that CoX was nearly unplayable, I'd say definitely worse than Wildstar at launch. Neither of the two people that I knew that had it at launch managed to even get past character creation due to client/server issues. And yet it became beloved to it's small niche community. Wildstar being hosed is a given, partially because there's a lot more competition, but mainly because in the state Carbine is, there's no way that they are going to be able to do the changes that would lead to them holding and growing the niche community that is sticking with them thusfar. If they're bleeding talent and didn't have much to begin with, I really doubt they're going to do much more than grab as much F2P money as possible before the lights are turned out.

The Moon Monster posted:I played CoH at launch and don't know what you're talking about. It had its issues but it was far from "nearly unplayable". At the time I remember most people were commenting about ti being the best MMO launch they'd ever seen. Of course standards were lower at the time. I know you couldn't play on some (for the time) modern video cards and for some reason some people would always get ejected from the game after entering a zone transition. That's pretty bad. poptart_fairy posted:CoH was also pre-WoW. Wildstar didn't, or shouldn't, have the luxury of ignorance especially when created by "veterans". Oh definitely, but I'm just saying that if Carbine wasn't in a hosed up state, that it could manage to pull out of it's death spiral (It won't).

bear is driving! posted:I see the hate Wildstar gets from goons, so I need to ask: why, exactly, is the game so bad? If you can try it for free, do it. It's probably going to not be your cup of tea (it's a trainwreck with a few things done well), but I don't think anyone ITT besides cyster has even played it in the last 10 months or so, They could have made QoL changes but I haven't been following it at all. I don't even feel like most of the goons hate wildstar as much as they like talking about how great their own MMOs of choice are tbh.

desudrive posted:I think people are forgetting that Tera was an absolute trainwreck at launch as well. The game was packed full of people for the first month, but I remember buying 2 months of in-game time with gold and after that first month Velika had maybe like 4 people in it. Also, you had to do Every. Single. Quest. to level and iirc you -had- to do the dungeons to even unlock the next set of story quests. there was a point in the early 40s where I ran out of quests to do and had to grind on panthers for a level just to even get a few more quests. It was a pain in the rear end. The game has come a long way since launch. Tera didn't launch on the heels of COH closing, spawning crybabies from the word go.

Does FFXIV still require you to kill the primals before you can level past them? Because that was almost impossible for me with the pubbie dps that kept dropping before the boss was even remotely hurt.

So you shouldn't play Wildstar because the community is dumb and obsessed with being "hardcore", while you should play Tera despite the fact that literal pedophilia is rampant? I don't think I get that.

The community of all MMOs is packed to the rafters with imbeciles and deviants, that's not going to change regardless of which one you play. The TERA devs sexualized a race of children with the loving literal excuse that they're actually thousands of years old and whatnot. I know that shot got censored somewhat for the American release but drat.
