So now that the dust has settled... How dead is it?

Pretty fucking dead. I played around the F2P release and even then it was dying about a month in. Must be a graveyard now.

I wanted to get into the game with a group of friends. Is it actually worth it if you play with your buddies?

The dust has settled so long ago geologists use it for fucking carbon dating.

man i should have tried it before it died
seemed really cool but all my friends said its shit so i didnt try it
did anyone play it at its hight and has something good to say about it?

Lol i played this about two weeks ago for the first time, its beyond dead. Which is sad because this is honestly the best mmo ive played in a very long time

I played with /vg/ for a while. The PvE content is a ton of fun if you have decent people to play it with. I can't ever imagine pugging a lot of the Veteran dungeons because they were seriously challenging but so rewarding.

what killed it for you?
did people just stop playing or was there a big reason?

It was a pretty cool game when it wasn't dead. Shame it died.

The game had the worst fucking PvP I have straight up ever seen in a game. The Guild War 2 dev's had more of a clue of how thing's worked, and that's saying something because some of those people, like the lead warrior dev lived on the fucking moon.

PvE consisted of the "remember the molten core, old school TBC crowd? yeah, those times owned! lets get that crowd!" and then forgot that their game does not interest people who are in their fucking 40's with children.

Also you just use whatever hacks you want and not have to deal with repercussions as long as you weren't chinese. Great game for making actual real life dosh on the other monitor as you play a actual game that isn't dog shit.

One of the best housing systems in games. RIP Wildstar, shame game didn't became more popular.

Does this game have controller support?

The general wasn't as big as other MMO generals so when it came to raiding it was hard to get a good roster going. People had to get attuned and geared up and a lot of players were just in for the casual/ERP side of things. We had a couple of good ones but then things started winding down, people got sidetracked by other things, etc. Threads died soon after.

I haven't paid any attention to this game for a very long time

What happened? What went wrong?

>>377825053
MMOs are a dying genre first and foremost. Then the crowd this game was trying to appeal to moved on long ago, it was doomed from the start.

>>377824616

The game died because it was too hard for most people.

I played Wildstar since before the beta and there's one specific part of attunement that killed off most of the player-base.

Getting silver on the Malgrave trail adventure.

W* has "adventures" along with dungeons. They're basically large, open instances with multiple branching paths to take.

The Malgrave trail was the longest adventure and riddled with RNG. You had to know exactly what route to take and then get lucky with RNG to even have a chance of getting a silver ranking.

PvP was a complete clusterfuck as well. Once I geared up my Spellslinger with PvP equips, I was literally unkillable, going 50-0 in most games.

The biggest flaw in the game though was the aesthetic. Despite what most hardcore gamers say, MMOs are mostly about dress-up and getting gear that looks badass is just as important as getting gear that has good stats. All of the gear in Wildstar looks like garbage, because the game looks like garbage.

I really wanted the game to work, and loved it while it was fresh, but its flaws really start catching up and overwhelming you after a while.

Also, game performance on launch was really poor. Even pretty good machines struggled to maintain stable fps in cities and raids.

viral

>>377825263
i thought it was because of the fuck fest that was the launch
constant disconnecting
shitty servers
etc

>>377825263
what a shame
the game looked promising but from what you told me its clear that they fucked up bad
thanks for writing all that out

>>377825053
Company wanted to make the next WoW, got mediocre numbers, stopped updating the game at all.

>>377825053
Shitty wow clone. Boring and slow leveling, uninspired locations and quests, no endgame content.

>>377825263
I think they removed the silver for all veteran adventures part of the attunement. It was just dungeons when I played I believe. I sure as shit don't remember doing Malgrave more than once and I know I didn't get silver.

Didn't they have to gut the poor dev studio for making this shit?

>making valid well worded points as to why the game died out
Okay cool.
>The biggest flaw in the game though was the aesthetic.
Awh you were doing so well. When will people learn to make objective arguments instead of stating their opinions as facts.
>objectivity on /v/
an anon can dream...

>>377828374
He's right though, going for a SUPER deformed cartoony style turned off alot of people especially when their is no shortage of pretty korean MMOs for people to make their virtual waifus in instead.

You mean you share his opinion

Damn I had a blast in closed beta, I probably got in like a year before release in the first wave if keys

Havnt played or paid any attention to it since, kinda sad I thought it had potential

>>377823716
I honestly don't understand how it hasn't been shutdown yet

>>377823716
only good thing about this garbage is that the mecharia (or whatever the fuck they are called) women are hot
