Ponuh posted:can we loop back around an explain why this game has so much goonhate? Is it just the obnoxious sense of humor (ex. unironically calling many things "badass"). It feels painfully normal in every way, but also like the developers tried hard to revise some MMO mechanics that were boring/un-fun. This is usually something people here respond positively to, so what exactly makes this so offensively bad? or is it simply because it failed? They didn't try to revise anything; they were explicitly trying to be 'hardcore' and have raiding similar to Vanilla WoW. You had massive attunement quests, you had raid fights that were literally 'don't stand in any of the poo poo that keeps spawning on the floor,' interrupt armor that was on EVERYTHING rather than just trash and trash with 'wipe the group' spells that had to be interrupted and required too much timing on using those skills, and a dev team who were just rude and elitist towards their playerbase. One of the devs posted this after a raiding guild beat the raid he had worked on, I think after they had tweaked the raid down to beatable levels:  There was also a situation where you could be bugged in that long rear end attunement process and lose all of your progress and be unable to finish, and the dev response was 'welp just reroll.' Wildstar's team just hosed up a LOT and the game was incredibly mediocre; even now it's not a HORRIBLE MMO but it doesn't do a lot to stick out in the sea of free MMOs out there.

DarkstarIV posted:Wait. So Carbine is charging real money to unlock classes for other races? Is that how I'm reading that image? Because if so, You can buy races in SWTOR for about 10 bucks a pop or so, to unlock them for all of the classes; you can also just get a character to max level of that race to unlock it for all classes. It's not really uncommon.

Cao Ni Ma posted:I seriously dont understand how WS can keep going. Even with the massive reduction in staff they still have to be bleeding money. How many people does carbine staff right now? Like 80? Average it at 50k a head and thats 4m right there in the year just in salaries and they expect to get 5m in the whole year. Utilities, rent, taxes and other misc expenditures will take them into the red and then some. Yeah but that loss and expenditure is probably able to be written off at tax time for NCSoft. Once it stops being close to breaking even is when they might cut funding and kill it. But that's just conjecture so I'm pretty much talking out of my rear end on that John Dyne fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jul 2, 2016 |

CoffeeBooze posted:Hiring Youtubers to make promotional videos is a pretty good idea. Wildstar has such a poor reputation that a regular marketing campaign just wouldnt work. That would infuriate the remaining true believers and at this point I doubt itd bring in enough people to fix things. Carbine probably needs a financial shot in the arm to do anything to save the game

There's lot of references in the voice lines and dialogue between characters, and the ones in the levels are mostly to their own games, like the Siege Tank game that looks like a Metal Slug clone.

Pierson posted:Even the age of WoW having huge year-long dry spells of content is apparently over as they switch over to FF14-style smaller but more regular content drops, so now even those times where you could release an MMO and reasonably expect to attract bored WoW players might be gone. Wasn't this the plan from like Cata forward, but they've just sucked at it? I know WoD was part of the "fewer patches, more expansions" plan.

i am tim! posted:Don't forget that if you gave the right NPC the four items he asked for in a single stack instead of splitting them into four stacks of one item each and handing them over like that, he won't recognize the items and treat it like you handed him a random thing. Which he will accept as a gift. Funnier still, he'd count it as a single item and only give partial credit on the quest, meaning someone could come up and hand him three of the items and he'd give them the reward for four. I seem to remember this being a thing with some quest to turn in belts out of Freeport, where you could turn in a partial amount and then a low level dude could turn in one and get the experience. EverQuest 1 was literally just a MUD with a GUI in how poo poo was done.

EverQuest 2 also kept a lot of the stuff EverQuest 1 had, like getting a spell that does the same thing another spell previously did. For tanks, this was a good thing, since paladin and shadowknight spells typically had a lot of threat attached to them, so you could just keep several old spells on the bar to build threat on the cheap. But nothing explained this in either game; both games suffered from THE VISION where most of the fun was supposed to be in the discovery of what the gently caress you even did. I didn't play much of EQ2 but I remember there were like three specializations for each class type or something like that, and I remember playing the evil version of the monk. I always thought that was a little weird, but that was the original intent of the PvP and such in EQ1, good versus evil versus neutral e: Now I'm tempted to download the game again and give it a try. I wonder if I still have comped time on it.

Bieeardo posted:I tried EQ2 three times. The first time was relatively early in its development; I think Frogloks hadn't been released, and the entire tutorial sequence was on a boat. I made landfall after some lovely fighting, and quit. Yeah that's the one if you got to Freeport; I made a wizard, shot two rats and a goblin, and then that was it. Everything looks SO bad in that loving game. The Asian models look a lot better but they still look rear end.

DancingShade posted:The best thing about failed mmos are the rapid holdout fans who defend them at all costs. Some failed MMOs had decent ideas or concepts that really just are too drat niche or that just don't fit into the whole carrot and stick treadmill themepark style MMO that has dominated the market for so long. But I also liked Earth and Beyond so what the gently caress do I know. I just wanted to fly a spaceship and shoot lasers at martians, man.

Crumpet posted:Quoth the pot - I'm pretty sure anyone who plays an MMO is broken in some way, though. I know people who have quit MMOs and have moved onto more predatory gaming interests (mobile gaming...) because they scratch the same sort of itch. I started playing Lord of the Rings Online recently because I finally got around to playing Shadows of Mordor, and all I've been doing is siting in one of the starting zones, planting onions and then selling them. I'm the Onion King.

I played through EQ, Kunark, and Velious content, and let me tell you, there doesn't seem to be a single loving developer wanting to return to THAT poo poo or bragging they're ex-EverQuest developers. The fact there's people doing it for something similar is just amazing to me. I get wanting to recapture your youth, wanting to replay the things you enjoyed, since I like to run through poo poo like Full Throttle every now and again, but some things just don't age well. Vanilla WoW was a slog, whether it was your first time or not, and a poo poo show in terms of game mechanics and balance. I'm just glad I was never the potion/elixir bitch because all of that time wasted gathering herbs for failed runs would have eventually driven me insane. What exactly is the appeal of it? In all seriousness, what are people seeing in Vanilla WoW after all the things that have been done to make it more streamlined and balanced on the PvE end of things? Is it really just nostalgia and rose tinted glasses?

Abroham Lincoln posted:Leveling on quests alone? Not until the next expansion's XP requirement nerf. Enough money to afford a fast mount? Pfft, yeah fuckin right, enjoy your turtle speed. It was always funny to me how, in comparison, EverQuest didn't really do a whole hell of a lot in quests beyond storylines and maybe some rare items. You sure as gently caress didn't do them very often for the experience, save for turning in belts or whatever at a super low level. Hell, mounts in EQ didn't do much of anything, either, except let you regain mana while moving, or at least that's how it was when they first came out and when I quit.

Mizuti posted:So that zone has a deadly combination of unbalanced power curve, generic level design, and long transit time. Peoples' descriptions of it make me think of 2007 era WoW and its despised expansion zone, Blade's Edge Mountains, except that this one isn't remotely interesting to look at. Blades Edge was? It was a big brown splotch full of ravages and ogres.
