To be honest it was 4AM when I started making the gif and even I don't know what it's supposed to be about by the time I finished it an hour and a few GIS searches later :effort:

I actually played this again for the first time since beta last night. Lots of bugs still around from beta (keybinds with modifiers not working is the biggest one). Pretty sure the latest build also has a ton of regression because, Carbine are dumb.

Played a bit of PVP which seemed, dare I say it, fun. The PVE side of things can go die quietly in a corner for all I care. I'm going to go kill myself now.

What the gently caress were they doing during their F2P BETA TEST SIGN UP NOW?

It's rhetorical, because they were being Carbine.

Bah gawd he had a family!
Had a fun talk with another dude in zone chat that he should yell into his Kinect the phrase "hardcore cupcake" so that he can unlock new amps.

Meanwhile all the other people were still white knighting this game so nothing has changed.

I love how the diehard fans have gone from decrying F2P to calling anyone complaining about the server issues scrubs for not "understanding how the megaservers work".

"Complainers: you're being given a drat good game to play for free, and nine and a half hours in the servers being utterly inundated and unable to handle all that traffic, should not be a surprise to anyone. I absolutely love first world problems, where people complain about something they get for free. Now if people paying for a subscription are getting knocked out, well that's just bullshit."

"I´m honestly a bit disappointed that for someone who has been with Wildstar since closed beta and all the way until now, there isnt some kind of "special queue" where we (the subs) could get into the game before f2p-players do. I couldnt get in for the past 24 hours or so....thats kind of sad."

It's kind of stupid that subscribers don't get priority queue, and I think it would be something of a dream come true if a Wildstar dev came out and admitted they never actually had megaservers.

I'm pretty sure it's less a mega server and more some kind of server chimera where they just cobbled a buncha together and figured it'll work fine.

I think its pretty evident at this point that their "megaserver" is actually just a normal server that held the 10 subscribers they had left and is now making GBS threads itself.

Yeah it is. I don't know their beta numbers but I'm guessing it wasn't on par with the people actually wanting to get in, and that they severely underestimated the interest in the game and likely missed poo poo that would've come from an actual stress test.

Rookie error, but the thing is the game had already been out a year and they had the same mistake when they first launched. At least they didn't overprepare and have too many drat servers like some other MMOs.

This has been pretty entertaining. I spent the last 20 minutes in the Exile newbie zone and chat consists of two type of people. People complaining about lag, and people telling them to shut up because they are idiots and Carbine had no way of knowing that they could expect this many people to play.

You can pretty readily tell who is giving the game a go due to the f2p relaunch, and who has been playing a long while.

Naw. There's no dick slider and I couldn't make a new male character. It's just Carbine being lovely, something a surprising number of people in zone chat can't seem to admit.
