Why even touch the game other to bitch about its hilarious incompetence?

I posted that I like Elin some time ago, someone dug a bunch of those posts out recently and posted them in various threads, goons were goons. Look in the previous Wildstar thread if you care.

Is there some way to add friends by account name rather than per character? I didn't think they had a system for it, even though even loving Cryptic does.

though it is ridiculous that it doesn't; it's a pretty standard thing these days, it seems.

Never hopefully. There's far more important things to worry about fixing. I know someone who works at Carbine and they are never going to be told about this. This also takes too much organization to get working too. Two sides need to queue up at the same time and ideally both need to be full of people who are all in on this.

To be fair as much poo poo as we give this game it's just below average now instead of a flying hell turd like it used to be.

I have to say, the amount of trolling this game provides, through PVP and zone chat is amazing. I'm glad I chose anita sarkesian and zoe quinn to name my characters. Any other suggestions to keep the trolling going?

notwithoutmyanus posted:

Are you going to actually post anything to this thread aside from reminding people this game is poo poo? Some of us are trying to entertain ourselves by getting 12 year olds angry on the internet.

DisposableHero posted:

It's not like there's anything actually useful or entertaining going on in this thread anyway. It's pretty much a new xbone sharktank thread but about a single game.

No debate here. WS is a burning pile of garbage, but gently caress me, FF14 1.0 was something to behold.

Why?

Rhymenoserous posted:

Wildstar is an OK game, and I enjoy it's mechanics than I do WoW. It sure as hell isn't the second coming however and the company that makes it is ultimately going to be it's downfall.

But it's still objectively better than most of the early MMO's I played and worshiped (Think UO/AC), and I'd say it's about on par with all other contemporary MMO's in quality that aren't WoW/FF14.

Free to play seems fairly popular and I'd be interested to see how things shake out. I honestly hope they succeed provided they are clever enough to modify their way of doing things (Which seems to be happening, albeit at a glacial pace). I'm not invested in this company failing like some goons are. I hope star citizen works out too, though I'm far from crazy enough to throw money at people who don't even have a base functional game available.

Also Cyster: I'm the goon that IM'd your wildstarguy a few days ago saying "Goons don't play this game."

I don't even like it, this is what's weird. There is another Rhymenoserous that posts here though.

I had to suffer through my taxi rides. Luckily if I pull out my headset all other sound except Wildstar goes to my speakers so I can just not have it play.

You can fast travel now but it's loving expensive compared to the taxis. How do you make them instant beyond fast traveling from the world map?

John Dyne posted:

yeah one dude making sick burns like 'DUMB GOONS' and 'LOSER DORKS' makes a thread the thread for making fun of a game

Oh a thread title making fun of the game in question, I wonder if anyone else does that, hm

Star Wars: TOR - Knights of the Fallen Empire. An MMO you can play alone!
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited - Unlimited Grinding Simulator
APB: Reloaded - The highs are very high and the lows are very frequent


Past 7+ pages have been people discussing the game, it kinda stopped being a 'lol wildstar' circlejerk near the end of the last thread

I mean go ahead and make fun of it if you can be funny but at least bring your A game rather than no-effort 'LOL NERDS'

Rhymenoserous posted:

I mean I guess I could make a legit thread but I'm pretty sure it would be poo poo up.

Anoia posted:

What would an effort post op even look like? I mean what stats and builds are even recommended now that they decided 32 new flavors of secondary stat was a good idea

How does this game even work

Rhymenoserous posted:

They simplified secondary stats, the only two that kinda stand out as different from other MMO's are intensity and Vigor

But basically if you are a crit class you build like this:

Strikethrough (To hit) to whatever content you are doing.
Crit to 20% (Soft cap before DR).
Crit Severity
Vigor
All else

For healing it's all focus pool/focus regen/multihit because if someone is taking big enough hits that small flash heals won't get them topped up over a 30 second period they are doing something super wrong anyways and are doomed to die.

Unlike a lot of MMO's most damage to non tank classes is mostly avoidable to the point where I've had a healer dumb himself into a wall of fire and still managed to kill a boss from 75% health all the way to dead. There are only a couple of DPS races in the game that I've seen (Or fights where loads of good dps simplify things) and really it benefits you more to put out steady ok'ish dps while paying attention to mechanics rather than be some dps superstar who fucks up a lot and causes the healer to panic heal/break out nasty focus intensive skills that he'd rather not use.

Rhymenoserous posted:

Cyster if you follow this thread at all, find someone and gently make the suggestion that amps and ability tier points should be purchasable via glory.

Right now the most time efficient way to get them us to grind pvp. The elder gem cap makes PVE unviable.

EDIT: really anything to alleviate the 50 grinds, specifically runeslots/ability tier and amps. Runes isn't completely horrible, but ability tier/amps is just obnoxious when leveling an alt.

Zero buzz or buildup. I know they're a probably a skeleton crew with no budget but surely they could've done a press release and some interviews?

Raiding's been pretty accessible since F2P. The first raid was puggable to a degree (You needed at least half the raid to be familiar with it) and I managed to drag my guild through most of it with about six people who were competent and 14 who were just damage sponges/dps fodder/at least three of them are going to explode on the next dodge or die mechanic.

Like one out of three of my full time healers was a complete idiot, one out of two of my full time tanks was completely retarded, and about half of my DPS depending on who showed up that night were the folks I specifically ignored when tasking people out to do certain mechanics (i.e. they'd die if tasked to do anything more than dodge poo poo/do rotation). The only reason we quit playing and stopped raiding is because the bipolar guildmasters wife/competent main tank went off her meds (Literally) and started causing drama with every other girl in the guild because she was no longer the prettiest in her mind (Or something). Thanks to her I lost a husband and wife team (Subtract one smart dps and one smart healer), and my other smart healer.

If I was the guildmaster I would have just kicked the bipolar tank and started looking for another tank, but alas I was just the raid leader and she was kinda married to the guild leader EDIT: And eventually we lost her when I told her off. By this point everyone kinda equated playing the game with a bipolar crazy chick and we all went to do other things (Some of them together!)

MMO's really attract some loving broken people though.

I was skeptical about Star Citizen's ability to fund itself indefinitely at first, but even now five years later if you dare to besmirch Chris Roberts and/or SC on a large public web site like Reddit you will be absolutely bombarded by comments from angry people telling you how wrong you are and how SC will be the second coming of Christ in video game form. It is absolutely batty and their fervor seems to only increase with time. That poo poo is not going to release until Christ Roberts has bought himself a third mansion, and maybe not even then.

There hasn't been much actual chat about this game in the forums recently. Are goons playing this? Do we have a guild? Is it worth trying? I played this at launch and enjoyed it a lot but ended up being pulled into another game and heard a bunch of drama and sort of watched it fail through different news outlets. I've recently seen quite a few youtube videos with lots of views and positive ratings saying that the game is much better/more healthy now. Thoughts?
