Key's still good for a month of premium or whatever it's called I think. Retards were buying boxes en masse because I think you get extra stuff too.

So now that wildstar is 'reloaded' what did they add or change in the end game for people that don't want to bust their balls in raids?

Servers are going down for 3 hours at 5AM EST. Perhaps a fix is in the works??? Maybe??

It's gonna take the intern at least 3 hours to delete all the characters by hand. 'hey presto no more queue problems!'

Since nobody can currently play the game can someone please explain the Tokaii meltdown? I remember be was a retired dude that played lots of MMOs, but haven't seen him around in ages.

Is the PvP/Group Finder (is there a group finder?) cross-server? If it was I guess you could roll dominion on the PvP server and level that way with no queues, since everyone is exile. Who am I kidding, I doubt they are cross-server.

My friend has been trying to log in since the f2p launch. I warned her, but alas. She finally gave up today and uninstalled after finally getting to play a few hours last night only to be greeted by the infinite login > char select bug today.

Almost a full week and people still can't log in lol.

There has been a flurry of hotfixes in the last 12 hours. They must have bribed the guy that knows the code base to come back and fix it.

So after installing the game a few days ago I've been unable to play without deleting the game files and reinstalling again. I did some digging to figure out what the hell was going on with it and apparently its a common issue for Windows 7 users. Oddly enough I've found a work around, and its using hotspot shield. No other proxy service will work, just hotspot shield. Can someone explain this poo poo to me?

I had this issue back at launch when I was trying to play. I think I had to do some host file fuckery or something similar to fix it.

e: There were a few threads about it on the official support forum at the time, I do recall.

e2: Did any of the goon guilds actually do any of the raids? I quit shortly after I hit 20, so wasn't around for long after launch.

lmao I went back to look at this so I could link it to a friend and I just noticed their Q4 2016 forecast for Wildstar is a big fat goose egg. I was so focused on the tiny numbers I didn't even register that NCSoft doesn't expect the game to make them any money.

They're shutting down the game at the end of 3Q16.

I haven't played this bad game in about a yeart but when I had to remove my auth I just sent them a support email and it was removed in about 20 mins without any more questions. I agree that is probably more effort than it is worth though.

I think a lot of the problem was requiring several rotations, using dodges, stuns, and interrupts for almost every mob while leveling. It became a real grindy chore when you have a bunch of buttons to press every time. You never really got to feel powerful by mowing through mobs.

A good superhero MMO could possibly do well now with all the marvel etc movies and stuff in the mainstream. CoH would probably be a bit too long in the tooth to attract a large community though - it would have to be something more modern in features and qol.

Oh please that poo poo got unbearable pretty much the second you started doing it. Enemies were designed to be as annoying as possible, that entire place was horrible and probably designed by someone who really wanted you to not waste your time on that game.

I loved GW2 until I got to Orr and the endgame consisted of doing loops of the map in a big blob of players forever.

Blizzard makes more from in game purchases now than it ever did through subs, and that's just WoW. Hearthstone and Overwatch microtransaction revenue is astronomical on top of that

If they relaunch under a different name and strip out all the MMO bullshit and work on the combat, sorta like the secret world is doing then it might stand a chance. It'll be a totally different game but that's all that can save it now.
