Bombogenesis posted:Don't forget that the people they actually got to tour their offices were forced to sign an NDA. I know one of the guys who went and he legitimately WILL NOT talk about it. He knows I can't keep my fat mouth shut. I don't blame him, the lawsuit would get them more money than Wildstar subs at this point.

Bauxite posted:Someday goons will realize that no, you don't need an offsite with authentication until the game is established and the goon guild in it becomes actually large, and even then still probably not. Not that it did anything meaningful to the wildstar experience that wildstar itself didn't inflict on us. But what about the spies?

Valatar posted:No, what I discovered next is what takes this into the EXTREME zone that everyone knows and loves about Wildstar. So hey cupcakes, we heard you like lockboxes in your lovely cash shop MMOs! So we're making box copies of our game into $40 lockboxes with a random prize item in each one! Buy enough boxes to get all three items and you get a special title, so quickly run down to your local Best Buy and clear the shelves before someone else does! I can only hope that the special title is "Cash Cow". It gets better. Players are really mad about the big cat mount breaking their immersion

Thumbtacks posted:the problem is they really wanted the game to appeal to hardcore raiders and then made the endgame so absurd that like .1% of the population has actually done it (or at this point like 10% of the population, depends on their sub numbers i guess) Wouldn't a higher percentage of the population have cleared it if they're all hardcore raiders?

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:"good party composition" Still? Back at launch the only viable strategy was to run back to the boss after dying and hope the rest of the party could survive until you got back, and that was in full endgame gear. Mostly because you couldn't rely on the evade roll to dodge the bullshit AoEs because they'd happen too often and you'd run out of stamina. super sweet best pal fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Apr 30, 2015 |

WE love you, unlike those CASUAL games like WoW..." Meanwhile the entire rest of the world looks on and simultaneously feels pity and gets a laugh at just how completely absurd they're being.

Xavier434 posted:Yup. Even the "best" software by the most popular companies have mountains of code like this and no one has a clue. This is one of my favorite programming articles of all time and I have yet to meet a seasoned programmer who agrees with any less than 90% of what it says. It is also a hilarious read so enjoy. Whenever that article says "unicorn", I assume this is what they mean.

biznatchio posted:Why the hell would they burn their media capital now, when F2P is still months away? Whoever is in charge of PR at Carbine should be dragged out into the street and shot; all of those potential players that they might have actually lured in thanks to the announcement headlines on the top of every gaming news source are going to have completely forgotten about the game when it finally actually is F2P, and good loving luck getting those headlines again with what will be old news by then. It's so they can hold a F2P "beta".

Byolante posted:There is this belief among some devs that the Totalbiscuits of the world talk for the majority of casuals and want elitist raiding content they never get to see because it gives them something to aspire to. Those players are the people who will complain the hardest about a fight they've never done being nerfed or a pointlessly long grind being lessened, crying about the game going too casual. The Wildstar fanbase.

down with slavery posted:One, it was before the rise of Thottbot/ data mining (it did happen later in EQs lifetime but not until expansion 4-5, before then it was just community sites where people shared information, scoping out those sites for the level 40-50 mobs that people had screenshotted and written down loot for was AWESOME) Age of Wushu kind of had that feel because the quests for ultra-rare goods were all hidden behind the equivalent of Gen 1 Pokemon urban legends and it was difficult to data mine because the code was in Chinese. Shame it was the worst localization I'd seen until ArcheAge came along.

orcane posted:I'm having flashbacks to when Lineage 2 was #2 on that MMO subscription ranking website and WoW had just launched. Yes the numbers are insane, but who cares - only people with brain damage are going to play these games in the "West" because they're even worse than the usual terrible MMO of the year. The western Lineage market would rather play MOBAs these days.

Omnicrom posted:No it wasn't, the ability to ignore level syncs and go into a level 15 dungeon as a level 50 or 60 was added in 3.0. Of course that bit of content is added for everyone and not just for expansion havers. Three or seven people with endgame gear could easily carry a newbie through the quest dungeons easy. The only hard ones were the last two fights and the second one got nerfed hard because it was the last mandatory instance before the expansion.
