Hi, i'm a returning player. I re-rolled a new character and I'm having a lot of fun, my friends and I really enjoy playing Wildstar, Is this normal?

Should I be concerned?

A lot of Wildstar's problem is that you were generally working as hard as you possibly could and had to be on your toes at all times and perform everything more-or-less flawlessly for very little reward. Mistakes were punished not just with failure but also with removing the carrot you were working toward from the list of potential rewards. Combining that with PUG five mans created an incredibly toxic community. The rewards themselves never seemed to increase player power significantly enough to change up how you approached encounters.

There was very little ability to feel like a hero by saving the day through clever use of your cooldowns (because you don't really have long-cooldown abilities in the sense of WoW or something) and losing even one party member in an encounter whether tank/heal/dps often led to failure because you couldn't puncture the interrupt armor without everyone working together or whatever.

I'm using Chrome right now... thanks for the heads up though, now I won't need to bother downloading Firefox to find out.
Next stop... Opera?


Edit: Wait I managed to get it work? I pressed refresh during the spinny loading circle and presto?

I logged in this morning to see if my character was still there. It was, and I logged out, but not before getting a random UI error.

One bad MMO is enough for me I think and that's WOW.

Class balance was actually pretty tight when I stopped playing about a year ago. A quick look at their pvp forums doesn't show any prominent class whine threads at the moment, there's a couple saying DPS medics are currently a bit strong in arenas but if it was a significant advantage there'd be pages and pages of crying.

Wildstar pvp is pretty fun IMO. Levelling characters with battlegrounds was pretty viable in the months after launch, and I'd expect it to be the same for the next couple of months after the F2P release.

(plays for hours to get to max level, never encountering another person the entire way) sick

In their stats and item rune revamp, they forgot to convert runes of moxie, which means items slotted with them are now stuck with a rune that has zero effect, costs a significant amount gold to remove and crashes any runing addon that tries to examine it or modify it

PvP should have been a pretty strong selling point or Wildstar. Of course, Carbine absolutely botched it at launch and allowed people to win trade their way into top end gear. Once that gear advantage was established there was just no way for people that played fair to get involved in PvP.

Wasn't Wildstar the MMO where the devs convinced the head of the goon guild to form the guild on a specific server and then that one turned out to be dead as poo poo even at launch?

Not that I want to defend wildstar in any way, but gw2 also had a wonky rear end AH the first few days. Now the servers having to be brought down outside scheduled maintenance and two hour wait times even if it is up? That's just craptastic.

E:Yeah, the launcher crashes out every time I start the actual game, though it has no effect on the actual launching. Wonderful coding there at Carbine.

The bad posting dog has a point, all of the original predictions I made have come to pass and Wildstar has taken its rightful place with STO as a F2P on life support. Now it's time for a new thread of shame where goons have to publicly admit to playing this game while desperately searching for company for their misery, while the FFXIV players keep smugposting down to them. Happy trails, terrible thread.
