What the fuck is this garbage. The most obnoxious visual style and character design I can imagine. Worn out TF2 gameplay and MOBA character mechanics. Does anyone want another F2P pvp only shooter?

These are just my own unscientific observations. Toughness only increases your health, not your shields. You're taking damage against your health once your shield bar is red. On my Titan I can go a full toughness build and my shield still pops just the same as a low toughness build...

I just received the same survey email and when I clicked the link it said I wasn't eligible to take the survey. Ok...

Veteran adventures are so buggy that the bugs have bugs. They should have just disabled War of the Wilds until it is properly fixed and designed. I can't even fathom the thought process that went into developing and testing that instance.

Pantheon is now a choose-your-own-adventure biblical fantasy fan fiction novel?

Addons were even more of a crutch during that time period. Blizzard hadn't restricted the API much yet. EmergencyMonitor: A real-time sorted list of the lowest health in the raid. Let you 1 button 'smart heal' the entire raid. HateMe: 1 button tank spam Decursive: 1 button cleanse the...

They are so fucking loud. Also, maybe it was bugged but the first adventure you do on Dominion side has an alarm + crowd noise looping constantly that made me turn my sound off.

That's assuming the majority of the player base are people that were raiding 10 years ago and not those that learned to raid in the LFR era.

So there's a Raid team AMA going on over at Reddit today.We are the WildStar Raids Team and we designed the most hardcore raids Nexus has ever seen! Ask of Anything! : WildStar I'm curious to hear some thoughts on the realities of 20/40 man raids with lockouts per raid ID. With the lockouts...

Building pointless Enjin hosted sites just to feel special is exactly what I would expect people to do to perpetuate this circle jerk. There are only so many ways to rearrange the same 5 concept art images.

I think the bitching is justified. It's not that the tutorial and other hangups are so terrible that they can't be dealt with. It's that their existence is indicative of the developer being out of touch with what you're looking for in a game. If they made those decisions on the simple things...

As a warning: I refunded an Aion pre-order years ago and NCSoft banned my master account. Didn't chargeback, just a refund through support.

PC gamers know how to move with WADS and click an NPC. An inexperienced player may not understand more advanced MMO concepts but no tutorial teaches that shit anyways. Knowing how to troubleshoot a technical issue or something is a completely different skill set. The fact they even get on the...

I totally agree with you on having no idea what MMO developers are thinking with tutorials like Wildstar/TESO. I can't believe for a second that they have metrics that show that the tutorial increased player retention. Most players have very short attention spans and are not stupid. They can...

Yeah, you're right. Tera did that well before Neverwinter. I overlooked it because I think of them as more movement abilities rather than a built in dodge mechanic, but that's just semantics. Man, I loved the priest class in Tera. Wildstar medic wishes it could be half that cool.

I'm not a fan of dodge mechanics at all, however I have played a few games where it works. But it only works when the game provides a second mechanic for active damage avoidance/mitigation that is mutually exclusive or inversely scales with the effectiveness of dodge. Dark Souls for example...

I never played OG 1999 era EQ and have no nostalgia for it at all. WoW was my first MMO. But I consider P99 one of the most enjoyable MMOs that I've played.

A-fuckin-men regarding the sprint and controls. The design of this game is schizophrenic and causes it to feel awkward as hell. There's probably a good game in there somewhere, if you can deal with the weird shit it's wrapped in. They built 3rd person character action combat in which...

Does this seem like a really poor amount of group content when it's likely the one decent part of the game. 4 dungeons and some adventure instances? I'm assuming the 4 dungeons get recycled at 50 for hardmodes? Are the adventures replayable enough to fill the gaps? Hopefully there are some...

I've been watching some streams of this game. It has really surprised me. Maybe I'm crazy but it gives off a Vanguard feel. If Vanguard had been created in an alternate reality in which its development wasn't a clusterfuck. The class system seems pretty cool. I'm a fan of systems that give...

Yeah, it's much better on a single 660ti at least. I went from chugging at 10-30fps in towns to a pretty solid 60-70fps all the time on high settings. If you have config files from a previous version you should delete them though. %APPDATA%\Roaming\NCSOFT\WildStar

New UI is an improvement, but buggy as hell. Not sure if quest indicators are broken on the minimap or just intentionally not there. FPS is much better. Still can't find a class that doesn't play like shit. Still hate sprint and having an ability that is basically an auto-attack that doesn't...

Some motivational words to remember: Fucking people don't buy this shit. You will perpetuate the shit in this genre. There are so many other awesome games out there. I know you all have money. I know it's only 50-60 bucks. I know its more entertainment then taking your kids out for 2 hours...

Yeah. I think part of problem is that every class has to be a fully functioning DPS class + either tank or healer. Combine that requirement with the limited action set and you have a very formulaic design you have to follow for each class so they can't be that interesting. Medic is the only...

Amen to this. Pretty much how I feel about the game. The combat is just boring and tedious as fuck. Designing an entire combat system and classes around telegraphs and ground targeting might have sounded like a cool idea, but it NEVER should have made it through the prototyping stage...

Same as before. Game cripples my hand after an hour. Binds are all fucked up for shift-1 etc also. Even if you move sprint to a different key.

Blizzard's Hearthstone uses Unity. It's massively multiplayer in the sense that it's multiplayer and a fuckload of people are playing it. If Blizzard committed their reputation and resources to the engine, it can't be that bad. Edit: Rust also uses Unity. Again, not really a true MMO but...

Finally bothered to check out the website. What a joke. The 'item shop' is the pinnacle of sleaze. I like how the icons for the membership tiers are cropped sections of the same 3 concept art images they keep recycling. If anyone is curious, the CMS they're using for it is out of the...

You need to be successful at heroics/lfr to get the ilvl to get into normal raids, so that's it's own form of gating, ya? Bronze is essentially the fail state for it and makes you feel like you at least got a medal instead of just saying YOU FAIL. Carrot on a stick design. Bronze - good...

I have no idea what it is currently like in MOP, but I believe it's being expanded for WoD. This is the thing I saw that caught my attention:

I think Blizzard COULD pull it off, but I don't think they will. Hopefully pessimistic.

Yeah I agree that the player base is underestimated. I think that the average player will adapt to the base skill level required to struggle through completing the most accessible content (dungeon finder heroics and LFR). Vanilla had just as many 'bad' players and they managed to get...

Should be entertaining if Blizzard ever adds LoS pulling and CC back into heroic dungeon encounters. There will probably be a lot of players that can't deal with it. Although, perhaps the Proving Grounds thing would help some, but then the same types of players that refused learn Halls of...

In BF4 there is an autosprint option as well as double tapping w to sprint. Games like Wildstar, TESO, Rust, etc that haven't implemented any kind of sprint assist are ironically the games where it would be the most useful.

OOC perma-sprint would be a suitable compromise I think. Most FPS at least lock the sprint on until you stop running so that you don't have to hold it down. Seems like sprint is still usable on the mounts, at least the hover board. You can't escape it. I'm certainly no stranger to MMOs...

Anyone else finding that this game causes some serious hand cramping/rsi/carpal tunnel? So much button spam in combat, constantly holding right mouse for camera lock, holding sprint down, etc.

Don't worry, for the next KS they'll have their circle-jerk paid forums full of apprentice developers screen it.

Gatekeeper reminded me of the priest and hunter epic quests from classic wow. Good times.

With the removal of the Scroll of Resurrection has Blizzard stated what they intend to replace it with? Is it possible they might add an extremely limited F2P mode that allows you to at least login for chat and other limited functionality without a sub? Similar to their Starter Edition but...
