It's a fucking awful WoW clone with floaty shitty combat. It's a complete clusterfuck. Anyone who played the open beta should have been able to see that from the first 20 minutes of gameplay.

The only reason it died was because non-existent content once you reached Level 80. The game was actually really fun, even the grind was amazing on PvP Servers.

I lost all interest in the game when they gave in to SJW about breast sizes, without so much as a fight.

The devs proved themselves as cancer tier at that point and the only notice the game got was threads about tits being downsized because apparently the very symbol of femininity is offensive to women. Who knew?
>>
>>255249710

I really don't think AoC and DDO have any business being called WoW clones.

Many of those others are valid, sure, but those two? I'm not saying they're GOOD, mind you, I just don't think "WoW clone" is a particularly apt description.

this is what happens when devs listen to Nostalgia WoW retards.

>WE WANT 40 MAN RAIDS !!
>WE WANT HARD RAID ATTUNEMENTS BACK !!
>WE DON'T WANT SHIT HANDED
>WE EVERYTHING FROM VANILLA WOW
>HEROIC DUNGEONS SHOULD BE REALLY HARD

WS Devs : Okay here

>BAH !!! 40 MAN RAIDS TAKE TOO LONG TO SET UP !!
>LOL !! THIS FUCKING ATTUNEMENT IS RETARDED. IT'S GOING TO TAKE US DAYS IF NOT A WEEK OR 2
>HOLY FUCK? WE'RE TIMED IN HEROICS? SO WE NEED TO KILL ALL BOSSES FAST TO GET THAT ONE LOOT? FUCK THAT

that's what's going on the Wildstar Leddit subforums.

the raids didn't play like WoW raids. where you have a mod that tells you what to do. since in WS the attacks are telegraphed and random.

took guilds from WoW like Method and Blood Legion quit.

people started bitching that the attunement for the raids was crazy. you had to get plat on all heroic dungeons.

it was just a disaster. this is what they get for listening to WoWfags. the devs should had done their own thing. instead of pandering to nostalgia fags and tryhard retards.

i heard recently they remove the timed heroic thing. because people would just leave the dungeon because they knew they wouldn't make.

>Why are men way better at being little girls

Because they understand what attributes are actually attractive in a woman, and can emulate them better than an actual woman when the objective is simple emotional/sexual fulfillment.

Meanwhile, it is only incidental if a real woman displays some of those attractive and interesting qualities.

tl;dr guys can act like their dream girl, easier than a woman can be a dream girl

the game didn't have hype. i don't know what the marketing team was hoping for. i think they didn't want to build their game out of hype. they wanted word of mouth to get out.

the thing is that the game feel unoptimized.also when i was playing it on launch there was TONS of bugs. the gameplay is a mix of standard MMO + Guild Wars 2. it works really well.

not everyone likes the Telegraph system. i saw a lot of people having problems with it. having to actually pay attention to their surroundings is pretty hard for people coming from WoW. the first dungeon was raping people left and right. everyone needed to time their interrupts at the right moment and keep communication.a lot of people would just quit the dungeon.

i stopped playing because people were just too stupid.

if this MMO ever goes F2P,it would be the best MMO f2p. if the restriction were fair.

You can not do a shooter based mmo and not have traditional shooter controls. Old school mmo controls are old for a reason. A simple google search shows you people want look/fire both on the mouse not fucking wasd for looking and click/hold for movement. Then you have that silly as fuck moba style skill range cone shit. It doesn't work. The game is shit and soon it'll be free to play but nobody will care because firefall will be f2p in just over 24 hours.

This, so much this man. Taking on BAMs was fun as hell. If you had the skill you were unstoppable. What finally killed Tera for me was running the same couple dungeons several times every night and the retarded gear enchanting system. Burning gear and failing to upgrade 40+ times in a row was not fun.

In Wildstar half the damn time I dodge and am well out of the red and still get hit. Also no way to dodge white damage = bullshit.

GW2 had fun leveling, complete lack of end-game killed it for me.

That and the fucking 'I am the main character even though you do all the work, and kill everything' Green Prick storyline.

shit optimization is the biggest issue.

Not casual laptop compatibility (not necessarily intel HD but that's pretty useful to have as an ace) even, but on my 660 it was running like total ass. ~40 FPS in areas with more than 10 people in it.

The game's also totally bland in combat, you do your rotations and nothing more, there's no reason to ever change up. There's nothing where you say "Oh I should use this skill instead of that". It's always just a rotation.

and lastly bots. there's already tons of fucking bots, gold sellers, credd resellers, and powerlevelers out there.

I'd love to see it go f2p though, the game's set up perfectly to be f2p, they could make housing a largely cash shop oriented thing, similar to RIFT.

It's a game that marketted itself towards vanilla wow lovers and the dev team consists of former wow devs.

It is supposed to be similar to vanilla wow, and that's a good thing

Except it's not shit, its completely average with the exception of housing which is good and raiding which is the best of any MMO.

You guys will either hop on, play to level 10 and be like "Well this game is bad" then form your whole opinion of it there, or even worse you don't like raiding at all and will call it a bad game because it's not made for you.

This 2014, if you are accepting average you're a piece of shit. There is no reason this game should be average. There is no reason it couldn't have been great but it's not. Why? Because they tried to stay old school and they tried to copy what other people already did when they could have done something new but you know.. ideas are hard. They didn't have a trillion dollar budget so they couldn't try something new.

ARR is doing well because it has something to float on. An existing fanbase. It's also easy to level, you can blow through it in a week or two.

Wildstar is average, but it has nothing going for it. No decent lore, no existing fanbase. Being average alone, no matter how charming it might seem, is not enough to keep the game afloat. That's what every was saying all along when we shit on Wildstar. Good God was it excruciating to level in beta.

Devs need to look at what's working now, not what nostalgia fags remember about WoW in 2006. And put more emphasis on their worlds. Yes we want some raids and endgame content at launch, but if looking at the world while leveling to get there is painful I'm not going to do it.

Game is actually decent, and it's set up in a way encourages you to keep working on one character.
Square is also not trying to "kill WoW" They just want some constant money flow. XI is their most profitable game to date, and that never even came close to WoW's numbers. it peaked at 450k. 14 is already at 600k, so if it keeps up, it will keep making money for them.

WoW clones keep failing because they're targeting an audience that simply doesn't exist.

Blizzard says they have 6m active accounts. But look at that number for a moment, that is active accounts, not PAYING accounts. Blizzard includes both Chinese players, who pay substantially less, make up a huge portion of the playerbase, and don't even have ACCESS to most of these clones to begin with.
But they also include trial accounts. WoW is F2P up to level 20 and have been for a significant amount of time.

Once you account for that, how many people are left in the target audience? Fuck all. How many are left that would abandon WoW for your clone? Next to none.

Take a look at the most currently successful non-WoW MMO's.
EVE is completely different, with a completely different fanbase.
FFXIV manages to stay afloat on its brand name, and more competent devs. It's similar to WoW, but different enough to gouge out its own niche.
And then there's Runescape, which, after it revamped itself to be more like WoW, nearly died. Now they're going out of their way to return the game to the way it was before it turned into WoW clone. A significant amount of its subscibers only play the 2007 legacy servers too, which are nothing like WoW.

TLDR, they want to WoW audience, but the WoW audience doesn't even exist anymore.

Game had a really good F2P model, company called Mail.ru bought out the devs and turned it into a insanely bad cash cow.
People didn't like it one bit and went to the forums to simply discuss it, GMs went on a crazy damage control parade and started locking every thread, even ones they had created.
It pretty much killed the game.

They don't include trial accounts in their shareholder meetings. Chinese non-subbing players, sure, but not trials. If they did, the numbers would be considerably higher, since technically a trial never goes dark.

Unless you have proof that trials are included in those numbers, I'm calling bullshit.

You're right that the MMO audience is shrinking, though. Themeparks aren't the way to go, and nobody's going to be able to replicate WoW's success without something truly revolutionary that will draw in more people to the pool. What that is, who can say?

Anybody else here waiting for Tree of Savior and hoping that it turns out well?

I can't remember the last time I played a MMORPG like RO where you had actual freedom in builds. Or where you could really mob enemies. Or where classes were distinct enough from each other that you would look for specific classes for parties instead of generic "DPS, TANK, HEALER".

Really, I can't help but think that MMORPGs nowadays are overly designed. X class gets Y kinds of skills so that they can fulfill Z role. City A is the designated low level area, with Maps___ through ____ and dungeons ___ through ____ containing monster types ____, _____, and ______ that spawn in the exact same place every so often and stay there. Meanwhile, you gain Tier N equipment that you will toss away for Tier N+1 equipment shortly.

It feels like RO was one of the last games in the genre that let the players figure out how they wanted to play, instead of laying out a linear progression that has to be followed for maximum efficiency. I miss actually having to think about my build.

Poor dungeon setup. Half-finished bugged quest lines. Incomprehensible story that throws you into it assuming you're going to give a shit about it at all. Generic as fuck blatant rip-off races of other MMO's. Steep learning combat curve. Poor class scaling and balancing.

Overall its just uninspired. Should have dumped half their advertising budget into the game and it might have been half way decent. But their business model is one of suicide. No previous fan base of other games to pull from or established lore. Thinking they could make an MMO you have to buy and subscribe to with no nostalgia power was a very stupid move on their part.

I like Wildstar. I wanted WoW BC, I basically got WoW BC with additions.

The only thing I'd change is the "get silver on all dungeons" part of the attunement. In WoW you could always fill raid spots with mediocre people and still get shit done, but the average skill required to get silver in all dungeons in wildstar is the equivalent to a good/very good raider in WoW.

szomsone understood my pain! I compained abuot that one fourms and was told I was wrong because the game would be too easy if you could dodge everything.

Combat meant to be beased on skill, but every mob has a built in timer you can do nothing about so skill means nothing. Gear and FotM class means everything.

so glad i bailed. I don't normally have buyers remorse for an mmorpg. I can get 1-2 months entertainment out of them but less than 2 weeks and I gave up on wildstar. Fuck I made ti to cap and did all the raids in swtor within 1 month with a friend but wildstar? can't even heal a dungeon cause so stupid over tuned.

I'd like vindictus if it wasn't locked into small corroder instances all the damn time. Has a decent combat system but you can't just go expore the world.

TERA is at least enjoyable to level in due to it's combat, but that endgame will never be good since every new content patch makes the previous dungons pointless. Also locking a brand new class to 1 race is the biggest fucking mistake I've ever seen in an mmorpg.

why would they do something so retarted? Elins might be popurlar sure but not everyone wants to play as one and it goes aganist everything the game launch did with allowing all races to be any class... why go backwards?
>>
>>255253025

Because instead of having universal classes they absolutely HAD to have "iconic" faction locked ones with copy pasted skills, and force heal is on the republic side.

They took WoW and and got rid of the closest thing WoW had to a redeemable quality: it's world and lore and shit. Wildstar's story and world are such a complete and utter side thought because "lmao everything's a joke!"

Not to mention the artstyle is some regurgitated version of Ratchet & Clank. You only have a half a dozen abilities and they don't escape the idea of "damaging aoe, healing aoe, or blink/disengage" There's only six classes which can only use one weapon type each. The questing system is even worse than WoW since there is next to no flavor text at all, and the game shoves a million tasks down your throat non-stop.

God, fuck. How is this game suppose to "appeal to vanilla WoW players." I get the dungeons and raids are "super hardcore" but it has literally nothing else except maybe housing but who gives a shit.
>>
>>255267952
If it's as deep as pretty? Sure.

The death reports aren't exaggerated.

Good concepts, but full of horrible systems.

Bad combat system. I don't know if it's the netcode, spell desyncs or the slowed timed abilities but I keep missing my telegraphs on moving targets, specially in pvp.

Bad pvp system. Gear>>>skill. Too high gap between 1800 arena geared (top) and entry level. System encourages tanking stats, so new player will have to fight against 1800 player. Therefore, wintrading system to advance. Best pve weapon is in 1800 rating...

The storyline is so generic it hurts ("It's Aliens"). The lore is memespouting. There are many "Task" missions, boring ones just for filler. Instead of killing 1/100 you progress 1%.
Boooooring daily mission zones.

The attunement is a fiasco unless you have a constant party of friends to learn the dungeons or get carried to last boss. Not apt for casual guilds. Later on, people get burned on that. Having to attune newcomers and alts.

Basically, you're either with a progress raiding guild, or you repeat bad boring dailies. That's the two choices you have right now.

The raids don't even look that good.

CREDD is more profitable to them than subscription fees. They cost more than a subscription fee and rich/stupid players buy them and sell them for in-game money to people. It's basically just sanctioned gold-buying from Carbine.

yea, the end game is kinda "meh" if you're not interested in doing raids. Sure there's housing, "completeing zones", crafting and PvP, but none of those are offering up anything special or new over existing mmos.

I really enjoy the action oriented combat, this game requires a bunch more movement, and rewards knowing what and when the telegraphs happen.

Shame I'm not NEET, otherwise I bet I'd have fun raiding in this game...

Basically. The starting zone was like how you wish MMO's could be. You leave and it is immediately a desolate wasteland with no content and not even many enemies.

>>
>>255249145
Well, it is due to a number of reasons OP, let me try and explain in a clear and concise manner.

First and foremost, the game wasn't very exciting, certainly not as exciting as the devs hyped it up to be. Though this game is an MMO and MMO's aren't exactly very exciting to begin with, the point is that it isn't much mogare exciting or engaging as WoW which is a me people already play and pay for. Why would you switch to a brand new MMO that you have less experience with when you could be playing the one you have already invested the same amount of money in? This is why the game's population started dwindling after the first month and population decline is a slippery slope to more population decline. People aren't going to play a game that is dead and thus no new players come in.

Second, you have the burden of subscription fees. Okay, this is probably the biggest mistake in the game; regardless of the game's quality, people aren't going to want to pay for an MMO with less content that they have no experience with and realistically isn't any better than the one you are playing. A game like Guild Wars 2 is still alive and kicking (don't listen to /v/) even with all its flaws, and don't get me wrong it has alot of glaring flaws, but it doesn't punish players for wanting to play it. The buy to play system keeps people playing because they don't have to worry about their month running out. It is simple and easy to keep playing the game and no drawbacks to ignoring the cash shop.

Finally, the game was an unoptimized mess and mechanically didn't work very well with the content provided. Also it doesn't have cute loli's to keep people interested.
>>
>>255287967
considering how many people continue to throw around the 'required subscription fee' thing it seems that carbine hasnt advertised CREDD. their own version of plexx. been palying since launch. havent spent a single penny in sub fees. credd is also dirt cheap.
>>
>>255287638

>hey /v/ why did something what was dead on arrival die?
>why are you so pessimistic about a pile of shit being shit?
>why is something bad what is rotten in its core?
>why are you a retarded faggot?
>>
>>255288280
It doesn't matter though, most people aren't going to want to deal with that when they could just play WoW. That system is nice for some people but stressful for others who want to enjoy the game more casually. Those players wouldn't mind paying for WoW anyways.
>>
>>255288643
i played wildstar at a casual pace. took me a little over 2 weeks to hit max level. from that point i got credd within the next 4 days. its not hard at all. literally at all. just do the dailies for a few days and you get an extra month. fuck when you hit your weekly cap in elder gems you get extra money for doing anything. credd is by far the easiest thing to obtain. requires little work. just a little under an hour for a couple of days. so that point does matter.

to clarify. yeah. the game has a lot of legitimate problems that people rightfully are complaining about. but stop complaining about the sub fee. there is no fucking sub fee if you actually PLAY the game.

People are just too stupid to know what to do without them park railing guiding them along.

It's why UO got shit up with trammel and item based play. The sad fact is that there just isn't a big enough base of players that actually want GENUINE excitement in a game world, and most of the people who say they do don't actually know what it is.

Instead we got a shit console game, and very poor future outlook for the core game (EVE) and that company (CCP>)

I liked it until you went into that underground cave system with a loading screen every five yards and the maps don't make any sense. It was fun going to that sandy beach place for PVP too.

There was so much hype about it, WoW was in full power and everyone was looking for a killer. Then Conan came along with its active combat system (that basically meant simon says), tits, gore, PVP etc. The graphics were awesome for the time, it made WoW look like EQ, mist effects, water, vegetation, proper shadows, god rays, voice acting up the wazoo.

And then everyone realised there was nothing there and it died.

The developers made it clear from the get go this game wasn't going to be for shitters.
>>
>>255304354
Which PVE game has challenging raid encounters and a decent combat system? And if we wanna go further, which one has challenging group raid encounters? Because theres no other genre that does. Hell, I didnt touch MMOs for 7 years before Wildstar (which I ditched after the second week) but there simply isnt anything comparable.
>>
>>255304484
The non-shitters can't get into content either because no-one wants to attune them.
>>
>>255304484
Not even the hardcore crowd is fine with this pattern farming because you have trouble finding 40+ people who do.

The game would be a million times more alive if they hadnt went for the ridiculously outdated 40men route and simply made it 8-15 men encounters. Would also make it possible to crank up the difficulty considerably.
>>
>>255304648
Dungeon crawling you mean? Etrian Odyssey comes to mind immediately, or Ys if you prefer real time combat to turn-based.

>>255303957
I remember watching my friend play this shit at launch. 10 min in he fell through the fucking ground and had to either make a new char or send a ticket for help
>>
>>255250731

The only thing I think is retarded is the way rewards are handled. Getting gold medal in dungeons should only increase the quantity of loot you get, not the quality. Every drop should be available if you beat the place, you just get less of them.

Attunements are fine, but they went full retard with them. They could have been half of what they are and would still have been huge. Now they're just ridiculous.

As for the 40 mans, whatever. I liked them in WoW, they should work here. But I think having raids that scale to the number of players is a better idea.
>>
>>255305368
Finished Ys Felghana on Inferno and while its fun, it still isnt the same. Raiding simply has something special to it. The coordination of 8+ people, the required perfection in a set fantasy setting. It simply appeals a lot to me, and with more recent MMOs the encounters became more challenging with more shit flying around. Unfortunately developers still think that more players = hardcore instead of just going with a small party between 8 and 15 men. Because then it actually is fun if you know most people quite well.

Thinking of strategies and all that after got released etc. FFXIV has the perfect raid concept, but the over game is shit. Wildstar is the exact opposite. Combat and movement are great, but the raid content is ass due to the format. None of them can get it right.
>>

What's this? 40 man raiding is a bad idea? Who knew?

This is what happens when you listen to the VANILLA SERVERS PLZ ORIGINAL WOW WAS THE BEST FUCK YOU BLIZZARD kids that didn't even play in Vanilla and are just trying to get internet street cred by pretending they did.

>that didn't even play in Vanilla
Exactly. Thats the biggest problem. No person who was a progress raider liked 40men.

Hell, it was a gigantic chore because 25% of the raid was dead most of the time anyway.

Yeah, 40 man raids were awful. The only people who claim to like them, are people who never actually experienced them in proper raiding environment.

>Needing 8 fucking Warriors with at least 4 pieces of Dreadnaught to even begin attempting to fight the 4 Horsemen
>EIGHT WARRIORS
>WITH 4 PIECES OF TIER LOOT
>>
Because when people realized they needed to invest 2 weeks into getting themselves prepared for a Raid and experience the same shit as WoW, they went back to WoW where their characters were already Raid-worthy.

>tosses around toilet bowls.

You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking. I have no interest in playing this shit but that's just fucking retarded.

>>255255440
I tell you hwhat, there is still a game that that. Runescape.
>>
>>255306428
yea, naxx 40 was just a major dick punch

I do look back on it fondly however, some great friendships were born over frustration of that fuckin instance.
>>
>>255306969
It's odd that this didn't happen to FFXIV. There's countless groups up to date on raid content in the game.
>>
>>255307139

All you needed to do in FFXIV was hit level 50 and you could just hop into Crystal Tower, and it was accessible enough that people with just Quest gear could do it.

But for Wildstar, you needed to do so much bullshit just to be viable that it wasn't even worth it.

Not him, but the Sage DPS spec (Which is the republic version of UNLIMITED POWER) is based on shit like Force Push (Which hilariously enough, they don't even have), using the force to throw rocks and shit at people. They have one that rips a chunk of ground up and throws it, but if you're on a spaceship or something it picks up pipes and other stuff.

>>255306969

People were 2 casual 2 play this f**king EPIC game, CUPCAKE
>>
>>255307139
Because FFXIV actually makes everything better than WoW. Doesnt change the fact that its still shit.

>>255306969
I dont even think its the fact that you need to attune yourself but the fact what youre attuning yourself for. After doing the dungeons they probably realized that 40men raids with all the shit that is flying around simply is retarded.
>>
>>255249145
because people didnt want to play WoW a second time
>>
>>255307445

There's a difference between inaccessibility due to difficulty and inaccessibility due to a shitty grinding requirement.
>>
>>255306428
I still feel like there were way worse bosses in that fucking instace. 4HM just was a chore but as soon as you got the tanking down it was pretty easy. That double gate faggot was a million times worse. With the ghost and skeleton side sitting on his fucking balcony.
>>
>>255307361
Now all you need is hunts to get to i90. Although anything higher is still on a token/raid lockout.
>>
>>255307872
Migrate, hohoho
>>
>>255307645

I would have thought it was obvious I was taking the piss out of Wildshit with my censored swears and EPIC CUPCAKE.

>>255307726

It's not that 4HM was super fucking hard, but exactly what you said. It was a chose, because 40m raids were awful and you needed 8 fucking Warriors playing the same spec getting 4 pieces of their tier loot priority over every one else just so you could ATTEMPT a boss. It's the pinnacle of 40 man raids at their absolute worst.

>all you need is hunts to get to i90
Nigger, hunts get you to ilvl 110, I am not shitting you. ilvl 90 is badge gear.
>>
>>255308078
Weathered gear is on a weekly token lockout.

>Multiplayer

This might be the problem, I simply don't get why anyone would enjoy this. Either you have an encounter where success is dependent on multiple people not fucking up, or something so easy you might as well not be doing it. The whole point of video games is to eliminate the need for other humans, so what's the point in making a game multiplayer?
>>
>>255308267
I know but that doesnt change the fact that I got my DRG to ilvl 103 in the free month. You can farm enough soldiery stones if youre new to somewhat pay for gear in time.

If you played for a few months you already run around in full weathered gear anyway and just need to farm sands and oil now. Its not like I care about items anyway. I always raided for the challenge, the loot simply was necessary to clear it.
>>
>>255308564
Its a nice feeling to go to your limits as a group with no one fucking up. There are enough games out there that challenge your individual skill, thats why I almost exclusively play competitive games. But MMOs simply combine challenge with a social aspect if done right. Unfortunately most dont do that because the raids are too big.

A social aspect can only really bloom in a smaller group of people. And if people are competent its a shit ton of fun, at least to me. If they arent though... well then its painful. But there arent even single player games that have encounters like MMOs, thats the pain problem.
>>
>>255308632
I like that they did that. As long as you were good at the game (and had a good group of people to play with), you got to experience the entirety of the raid content without an insane time investment.

But the grind is there for people that like progressing that way too (novus, crafting, hunting for sands)
>>
>>255309043
If I wanted socializing though, I'd hang out with friends or post here, that's the last thing I want in my vidya.

>But there arent even single player games that have encounters like MMOs, thats the pain problem.

What kind of encounters are those?
