On the PVP server queues are popping within 2 minutes in the first 3 brackets so far. I've basically levelled via PVP alone. It's the only thing I "play" in this game. :shobon: If you're on the PVE server you deserve the scrublord carebears ;)

How do you queue for pvp? edit: figured that out. Is there a way to quick swap between skill sets or whatever they're called?

All I can think is: what kind of poo poo do people do with an asset that can cause this? Graphics settings causing login issues? Jesus.

Not making monster death something that scales well is a significant sign of lovely programming. Here's something that is guaranteed to happen constantly and endlessly, and instances are suddenly where it goes to poo poo?

This isn't like "ok, we had a graphic glitch". This is like "here's a core part of the framework, we never really figured out what to do with it".

Unless this is a known engine problem I'd be highly confused how this became an issue, and I did notice it being awful in that instance as well.

So what exactly happened to wildstar re:economic bug. Was it ncoin duplication or something?

The rune system is a freakin' hilarious mess. I like for important slots in my gear to either be a) RNG b) Cost $$ or c) ALL OF THEM. Still enjoying PVP as a stalker though. It feels good watching the trainwreck from the inside :derp: :supaburn:

Is there really anything else worth playing? I tried everything except warrior and only stalker truly clicked to me.

I how this is the only post in the thread from Holyshoot.

Manifest Dynasty posted:

I'm on Entity Exile. I made a guild named Goon Squad last night if anybody wants to join it. Or take it from me. Or whatever. Space Jam was unavailable, so I assume somebody still has that?

Kinda need to give out character names for this. Add me folks and I'll do social hilarity and parade around being awful goons in an awful game. Account name: blowme

V: yes, I think they call it "player name". No other details need to be specified, it'll find em if it's the only name. I'm on Entity, and it's Manifest's guild I presume?

Nope but I do now.

:magical:

I'd emptyquote this, but the comedy remains either way. Who wants to actually make the guild/a guild for general fuckery? Apparently dynasty isn't playing, or isn't looking at the social tab.

So on the subject of performance I was experiencing some real issues with FPS in some areas and wasn't sure what to tweak. however I found that the shortcut for the game goes to the 32 bit client by default. However there's a 64 bit client available in the install directory. Running this fixed all of my frame rate issues.

Holy poo poo, this is a giant impact to me as well. 60FPS 100% of the time (Vsync) now, much better.

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?

I've had people go "HOLY poo poo YOU PLAY THIS GAME?" as well as SJW's hate messages in open world zones. It's seriously almost as good as world of tanks trolling.

Wildstar IsBAd

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.

V: for wildstar? I don't think anyone actually has been saying the phrase in game. It's mostly just stockholm syndrome of CARBINE IS GOD FORGIVE CARBINE.

Got to level 30 via pvp only. Now the gear disparity really starts to shine. Thanks Wildstar for the 26ish hours of "fun" you provided.

Yep, I hit 26 on my stalker and uninstalled.

Trying so hard not to offend anyone about anything. 'This is not a hate post! Don't get me wrong, I love everything, but everything needs to improve. NO OFFENSE'

I can't tell if it reads more like someone with autism, someone under the age of 13, or both. I expect the next post from the person to say they cosplay their wildstar character or that they believe wildstar is real life

I'm really surprised there isn't a goon guild for this game.
So, this is where things were:

You had to pay actual money to have premium in order to create a guild.
:psyduck:

I can understand a lot of monetization but this is basically anti profits . "Guild limit of 500 without premium" or some other separation would've been fine, but none at all basically makes it harder for people to organize and thus get x number of your friends interested in the game. Etc.

Eh, being on a server with a faction imbalance can suck.

The real reason that it won't go away is because faction transfers are more than likely a major revenue stream for Blizzard.

Fairly sure I recall them making it not free to discourage people from doing it and saying so before BC was released.

Wrong DDO I think.

Also, the correct DDO isn't a good mmo, but it's a very good co-op game to dungeon crawl in with friends IMO. One of the rare online games that still has proper character builds (and allows you to make a completely gimp character that can't do any content past level 3 :v:).

No, he had the right ddo. Gygax did voices for a dungeon in it?
vvv: I thought he meant dungeons and dragons online not dragons dogma?

fwiw, wow usually has super short maintenance now like most other companies. They finally updated from whatever ancient set up they had previously and even major patches involve like, 1-2 hours of downtime at most now.

Rift's concept was and still remains way, way ahead of the time for downtime. I recall a goon worked for them but wouldn't tell me how they did it. Probably a really smart HA/testbed.

I recall multiple patches taking >2hrs recently. It wasn't just their update speed but consistent return to stability as well.
