I tried the open beta for 10 minutes and it helped me figure out that my computer was having an overheating problem. Thanks I guess Wildstar.

This thread made me want to go curious so I took a look at the wildstar reddit. The top story was someone posting a few screenshots where they highlighted 3 or 4 new players running around the world. That's apparently newsworthy in a mmo game. I checked out the comments and people said its either bots or already existing players who just made secondary characters on the opposing faction to mess up their pvp queues, whatever that even means.

It's a goddamn shame the house is the only thing I rated as awesome about this game. Housing will definitely be the first thing they hide behind a PREMIUM account. More decorations and housing upgrades will definitely be mega cash shop stuff.

A MMO where you have to be on point with every single mob you fight or you die sounds really exhausting. "Go kill 30 space bears for me" *15 hours and 3 carpal tunnels later* "Finally done!" *You are rewarded 700 exp and 300 space gold as your quest reward* "Yessssss only 43782 more exp to go until level 20!"

I feel bad for anyone who paid money for this game, but then I also feel bad for people who put money into crowfall or archage. I wouldn't be surprised if people were still putting money into archage

Verranicus posted:They're getting pretty smug about a population increase in the starter zones over on the official forums, but isn't that just because of the 10-day trial + the game having essentially one server? I think they also confuse gold farmer bots with real people.

On the other hand I read that the latest patch was causing massive fps loss to a fair number of people thanks to certain parts of their UI they re-enabled or something how does your own ui lag your game

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

Do they ever loving learn that big promises like this backfire when you don't deliver? Actually you can promise whatever you want because most mmo players are too dumb to stop playing a game that doesn't deliver
