for a fun activity read this thread here and then remind yourself to never ever ever ever get into an mmo solely because it was goon suggested

fun fact: that guy in the thread you linked is the one that tried to sneak bobfromarketing back into the archeage guild and was openly sitting with BFM and some other goons in the IRC channel before BFM got permad

glassdoor is a good resource

i feel like for the next MMO that comes out we should look at glassdoor

if they have no reviews for their company, the game is going is to be janky and broken and the company will have no idea how to run an MMO

if they do, read them, because they are the canary in the coalmine

there was a picture on their facebook and they couldn't even be bothered to put like wildstar stickers on the bags, just the plain-rear end bags that are like ten for a buck

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

Isn't taking a runny dump on the players the design philosophy of a hardcore raiding mmo?

I like that these exist because I like hardcore PvP MMOs and this/mobas actually manage to be worse

The Wildstar thread! You were missed, old friend.

EDIT: I love that in this thread (https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/124755-wildstar-retails-dissappearing/) there are people saying poo poo like "as soon as ESO went B2P I quit." Are they full of poo poo or do people actually do this? If you're enjoying the game why would the payment model matter?

EDITEDIT: And I just saw the Olivar post in that thread. He even broke character in it. It's like Christmas.

that was the weirdest thing to me

Wildstar seemed like the perfect game to make you feel like a badass

The non boss stuff should be you clowning on mobs and doing cool stuff

instead you just used all those moves with cool AOE ranges and stuff to just fight like one or two mobs that would kick your rear end, so they might as well not even have interesting moves or an action focus combat system

PvE people are the only people who like quality of life improvements

hardcore Raiding and hardcore PvP grognards actively think anything that isn't from the 90s or early 2000s is carebear

if you die in the game a dev drives to your house and punches you in the face

also, you lose XP the longer you are logged out

honestly I cant wait for real VR with realistic haptic feedback

because these devs will make an MMO where you strap yourself in and whenever you die they charge you $50 and then make the suit beat the poo poo out of you

imagine instead rather than requiring those things that you were just like "oh yea for each of those things you do you can get some really cool skin or cosmetic or something"

it would provide an even better incentive than "in order to play the 'real content' you have to do this other dumb poo poo you arent as interested in"

It's probably going to be the same premise, unless ncsoft went behind everyone's backs and fired literally all of the lead developers and replaced them so there was no trace of grog left.

Also did I miss the window to play smite, I downloaded it and did the tutorial and it's p cool but stanley is never playing it when I'm on

Screeching hyperbole? I just find it hilarious that moving to the side occasionally is apparently a "complexity for complexity's sake". Please tell me more about how much trouble that is. :allears:

I'll agree with other points though, Dragoon's random positional is stupid as hell and Wanderer's Minuet was a playstyle change that people didn't want or expect.
