I remember a investors meeting was supposed to have happened in march but there wasnt sny word. I wonder id theae f2p/b2p discussions popping up again are a result of that?

Also their quarterly reports come soon. The last one had "other" beating out Wildstar by a huge margin and it was found out it was lineage 2, lmao.

To be fair I've heard they made the attunement slightly easier. I think you just have to complete the dungeons now, rather than speedrun them, and they were always the only part of the chain that was actually difficult. And the boss of the raid drops an item that you can give to another player to instantly attune them. The real question is whether there will ever be another person who wants to get attuned to a Wildstar raid who isn't already.

The only change was making it to bronze. You stiill have to contend with the rest of the attunement.

They release the quarterly numbers yet? Since Carbine/NCSoft doesn't like to talk sub numbers for obvious reasons its all we have at the moment.

Is Olivar on the staff? Or is he just the True Protector of WildStar?

Protector. Surprised he isn't an embassador. I remember he used to RP a chua on forums but like Verr has said, the game is starting to get to the old guard lately.

The subscription thing is like when mmo players think that there should be 18+ adult only servers and that will solve the problem of mmo players being dickheads

Pay model has nothing to do with what kind of players you're going to get but they'll shout about it a whole bunch

Well theyre also sorting out posts for F2P/B2p posts so there's that too.

If/when this game does head down thst route i think it would be funny. Also is thst the same fran aka franbunny?

Too add, there was another bug (which supposedly got fixed in drop 5) that you could abuse a veteran adventure with a 5 man group and invite lowbies. You basically boosted your character from 1-50 in a matter of hours. don't get me wrong that's "okay" but these are the same people who say "Man I wish there were more lowbies leveling in these zones!"

So will it still be sub, or maybe a tiered system?

The bigger news is that apparently Blade and Soul is in family & friends beta.

get rid of wildstar and use their server space for that game.

That's one of the parts of Wildstar's arrogance that gets me. They intentionally cultivated a community that would end up being small and toxic by nature. :psyduck:

The 1% of the 1% if you will.

Ive tried telling my friens thia game sucks and ia the reason i actually went back to better PC and console gaming and ahe fires back with "dont make fun of things I enjoy"

I also quote things from this threead to fuel the fire so... :getin:

Idk where but there was a post for drop 6 proposed that they change the level requirements gor the dungeons. That's great and all but you're losing a dungeon at level twenty and you just have access too one.

And if they do the 1-20 all content within that level range free trial thing as their F2P then lol they just took out content.

after a whole loving year I finally get attuned to the piece of poo poo first raid. Hardcore as gently caress cupcake.

and after a year the first raid is still having problems. Someone said in chat that one of the bosses glitched out and it took them 17 minutes to kill it. HARDCORE.

Playing Wildstar for a year is a really strange way of ruining yourself. Most people just drink themselves to death or go on one huge coke fueled bender and get it over with.

I stopped playing for nearly 6 months and came back and got a lucky string of people looking to do the world bosses and that "hidden" boss in one of the dungeons. Otherwise I'd just log in, talk poo poo and log out.

The game has really gone down in the shitter and people were wondering if F2P will save it (it won't)

They were talking about playing other MMO's like ToS and FF 14 though.
