Wildstar - Next NCSoft MMORPG

[Scroo]

I hope it's dead within a year, no one needs even more pay 2 win crap

 

[Revenant]

Seems like a good enough sims-in-space time sink for me, if free.

0:56...is that...

"We'll pull the plug before going F2P!"

That was the gayest video I've seen in a long while

Night Goat, while that would fit right in with the rest of the video, I assume it's more a copy of inspired by Grievous' vehicle in Episode 3. (Which in turn may very well have been a copy of some earlier concept.)

It's now f2p. I heard opinions that they overhauled the game, especially endgame. Can anyone confirm this? Is the game enjoyable now? Supposedly the raid content is very good.

 

[Lhynn]

Got a friend that played the game and quit playing because of how they butchered, dumbed down and removed difficulty all over for the f2p.

Im downloading to see if its decent.
These last few months ive trashed aion, skyforge and gw2. Dont expect this piece of crap to be any different.

 

[Mystary!]

Wanted to give it another chance now that it's free because boss battles were pretty sweet, but... 1 hour queue just to connect to server, and then game freezes after character creation

 

[Lhynn]

My god man, what would possess you to wait that long? just give it a week.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

you're lucky. i can't even register because the good password seems to not be accepted, the login page is broken and the ncsoft main site doesn't work.
or maybe I AM lucky.

Make a password that is LetterNumberLetterNumberLetterNumberLetterNumber. At least that worked for me. Seems like it recognized any number/letter as 2 of the same in a row. Can't even log in and it lags if you actually get in, so just wait a week or two.

When I played in beta, all of the world content was pretty much dumbed down, easy mode and only the dungeons were made difficult. If they dumbed down the dungeons, then the game is a waste of time for sure.

 

[Lhynn]

Yeap, dungeons and raids got dumbed down at some point.

 

[Lhynn]

Was playing it for a bit. Why do mmo starts have to be so mindbogglingly boring? The extreme lag is not helping either.
So far its underwhelming, talk to A then B then C tripe. Why does it keep hammering on and on about that planet secrets, i dont give a fuck, not a single one, its poorly written and simply unnecessary as a premise, unless you are the secret world you shouldnt even try this shit.
Paths look intriguing in the same way grinding specific quests sounds intriguing.

^ So basically it is just like every other MMO ever made.

I found it extremely uninspired when I tried about a year ago, yes.

It looks pretty well made, so not some typical Asian grindfest trash. But it really didn't have anything in it that kept me going for a while.
Like GW2, Secret World or Defiance (well, not really RPG...) has.

But now that it is F2P, no harm in trying it.

 

[Cyberarmy]

extremely uninspired

Sums the game up greatly.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

not being able to kill myself, i went for the suffering and gave this a try.
it's not that it's bad, it's just another mmorpg. i see no outstanding feature which could identify this above all the other similar games. it has its stuff, housing, mounts, talents, all the nine yards, but nothing exclusive.

I though the hook of this game was the difficulty.

 

[Night Goat]

The art style screams that it's made for girls and kids. Why would they make such a game difficult?

 

[Zewp]

They were trying to recapture what people loved about Vanilla WoW. I can't say if they succeeded because I never played Vanilla WoW, but I only played Wildstar for a day before I quit. I didn't like the setting, the art style and the questing was dreadfully boring.

I don't know why. All i know is that they did. I heard people say it is probably the hardest MMO out there.

From what i understand, the "real" game only starts at level 35 or so.

The quest design is especially mediocre, have never played an mmo where so little care was put into characters, stories, quests, and generally all the text in-game.

Buh-buh-buh-but muh Tim Cain!

Heh, from what i understand they even took some quests out in the f2p client. They might as well just call this end-game, the MMO. Considering end-game is all people seem to care for, i'm not even sure why they even bother with character progression at all. I have a friend who played WoW religiously for years and now jumped onto Wildstar with the f2p client, and he's already rushing through the content as fast as he can so he can go straight to the dungeons and raids.
