I was under the impression that wildstar would not ever be going free to play because that's for scrub games.Wildstar posted:“Free-to-Play is for games that suck, or have failed, and that’s that! ‘Wildstar’ does not suck, nor has it failed, so we won’t be going Free-to-Play.!” Oh I guess it's cause it sucks and failed.

Thumbtacks posted:Apparently Wildstar just had a "special event," except there wasn't anything special about it and no one won any prizes at all, it was a mandatory stress test so they rounded everyone up in the main city and disconnected everyone that didn't join in. good job crbine So that picture is the absolute server population at the time? Geeeze.....

All this "Wildstar isnt for CUPCAKES!" is hilarious having played a game that actually gives no fucks like Age of Wushu where in there is a 3 part boss battle where 1 unstoppable boss must be tanked by a single person using the right combination of skills to remain in the air above the boss so he does not instantly kill the entire zone, at the same time an army is attacking large gates of a base that must also be tanked in the air because they spawn too fast and hit for too much to take head on, all while the rest of the group rushes to finish a boss who can one hit kill people at random and sometimes knock people out of the battle resetting the bosses health. This fight is 45 minutes long. Wildstar is baby time.

Rorus Raz posted:Wildstar's thing is loving crap (seriously gently caress a stat that demands healers keep everyone topped off), but I can see why they're doing it since WoW has had this long-running problem where no matter how they revamp their stat system it always boils down to a fairly strict hierarchy of stuff for your spec. Choice was such an illusion that they basically removed sockets from gear since it really wasn't about tailoring your gear to your tastes, but rather just another expense and stat juggling headache. Tertiary stats don't really solve this since they aren't reliable enough to build around, but then again I think the point of them was to make your 50th Kargath kill slightly more interesting since his boots may have +lifesteal or something. The people do less damage at less health makes no sense to me on a design level. Especially for something claiming to be so skill based wouldn't people doing more damage as their health gets low make more sense. You'd create another layer for healers that have to focus on healing so they don't die but allowing for dips when they need to do more damage. Wildstar is just plagued with these kinds of awful decisions.

The Moon Monster posted:A year later they do a stat overhaul and replace MOXIE with GUMPTION. Oh yeah I remember there being a huge push that you could play the whole game as an explorer or whatever and never engage with combat encounters if you wanted. It was going to be a radical choice that dictated your experience. But that was hard so they didn't do that.
