We've had some bumps with Shade's Eve and the Hoverboard event, but both seem to be pretty popular and positive, which is good news. Hopefully we can keep making more events like 'em moving forward.

It's thanks to fuckers like them that people would lose their goddamn minds when they would lose to me in PVP and see I was from Moon Guard. Had people roll alts just to whisper a lot of creative insults. Cause surely EVERYONE on an RP server must be like that, and I got lucky.

But then I also had a few nice RP guilds fall apart because of the raiding bug absolutely destroying what used to be a no pressure "eh, we'll do this just for laughs" environment. It ended up being an absolute nightmare.

I will say this though: WildStar's Dominion Roleplayers are loving terrifying and I'm staying well away from that mess whenever I do get bored with FFXIV.

That's such a shame. When Rift launched it was a pretty good game and Trion promised a different, more customer friendly approach to MMO development. They did pretty well at first too but clearly something went horribly wrong. Now days Rift has possibly the worst cash shop in a western MMO, Trion brought the western world the dumpster fire that is ArchAge, and actually promising titles like Defiance were left to wither on the vine and die. Did they have some kind of drastic shakeup in management while I wasnt paying attention or something?

I wish someone made Defiance into a single player ARPG, i found the combat really fun and the bug guns were so cool :(

Trion had a lot of potential with that game, and Rift too, and squandered it all.

At least the show was good.

Atlas Reactor seems like a pretty cool game with interesting ideas in it, so it will be a shame when modern Trion inevitably wastes all of it's potential and ruins everything. Pour one out for RIFT and Defiance :(

I guess they didn't ruin Trove yet, so maybe they at least learned to not gently caress with the moneymakers. But I have little hope for smaller games.

I'd flip that and ask: what is the doom and gloom of this thread trying to achieve? It's at time of writing 79 pages of thread for a game that people keep stating over and over and over is dead. But the game keeps chugging along and when I play Wildstar, it's fun.

So...what's wrong with expressing a dissenting opinion? Why does every expression of 'This is fun, I like the game, X is cool, etc.' get shut down? Doesn't seem any more off topic to me than people talking about why they like Final Fantasy XIV for several pages in this thread.

For me, I'd like this game to continue. And if that means opening up a space where people can honestly say they like the game and thereby encourage others to play something fun so the game stays around longer, I think that makes sense.

we're not trying to achieve anything we're just dancing on it's grave because it's funny when wet dreams of elitist morons crash

Rift had a good wardrobe system. It had the annoying requirement to actually own the items, instead of unlocking skins like in GW2, but on the other hand it had no armor class restrictions and allowed to hide any equipment slot instead of just helmets/shoulders. Mixing different weight classes of armor was cool, even if most of the armor in Rift was pretty ugly.

Yeah. The initial F2P experience was really good and fair, and the game itself was pretty good too. But then everything went to poo poo :(

Trion seems to like to take promising things and gently caress them up. I think the only game they currently have that's still doing well is Trove, unless they hosed it up too since the last time I heard about it.

Part of the Storm Legion expansion for Rift when it went F2P was a quest line that explicitly made both factions homogeneous bland friends and tossed out all the factional rivalry.

Of course all the old world/launch era content is still about Blue vs Red because they didn't update any of the old zones. Because Trion.

Anyway Rift is bleeding active players like a roadside crash victim so it's bit of a moot point. Probably still makes bank off whales too far committed to ever turn away.

Splitting the player base in a themepark MMO is garbage design in 100% of cases, too bad that Trion didn't got rid of it from the start. Apart from many other things that Trion should've done differently.

I think that it's dishonest to be okay with people posting long lists of claims about a game but mocking people who are responding to those claims with counterarguments

i haven't played gw2 in two years or so, so for all I know maybe the situation really is as bad as claimed, but RVs post didn't seems like it deserves being called Arenanet apologism
