What went wrong?
The people who were able to poop-sock vanilla WoW 12 years ago have grown up and don't have time for that any more. Wildstar catered to a now very niche market of NEETs and (un)surprisingly that's not feasible long-term.
MMOs are dead
MMO
For me, it was that the leveling quests were horribly uninteresting. That and all you do is watch the floor
>>340585124

>>340584580
>have grown up and don't have time for that any more
Nost kind of proves that wrong
>>340585390
Name a good MMO
Ugly art style, MMO fans are desperate for anything that isn't WoW but this game tried to be complete directly with WoW, failed to even do what WoW did.
>>340585442
how does that disprove his point?
>>340585442
So then why would they play the MMO that tried to capture the feel of vanilla WoW when they can just play vanilla WoW?
>>340585445
Dragon Quest X. That's why you can't play it.
>>340584638
This.
That market is dead. ASSFAGGOTS popularity killed MMOs. Why grind levels for days and have to seek out groups, worry about itemization, etc when a round of ASSFAGGOTS can give all of that in 20 minutes.
Wildstar screwed the pooch. Bland leveling with really only one path of quests to level in, a ridiculous attunement process, which attracts very few people in this post-WoW world, and a world devoid of solid lore.
Housing was cool, and crafting was a breath of fresh air, but there's no way for a MMO to keep peoples' attention anymore.
>>340585634
DQX is boring as shit and can barely count as an MMO
SEfags seriously have a problem
artstyle and humor
endgame in general
I'm not a fan of sci-fi personally as well
Carbine's official UI had numerous broken elements that crash your performance if you don't flush it regularly every 10-15 minutes (apparently the UI guy expected modders to do his job for him?)
Poor optimization
Poor class balance
Bugs
Actually believing WoWtards wanted a Vanilla WoW Experience again. Everything looks rosier through nostalgia-tinted glasses. Turns out bullshit mechanics and bullshit attunement and bullshit 40 mans are awful, it's just people's perception that they were fine back then. Shit, even before WoW, EQ had people telling the devs enough with the fucking bullshit attunements and fucking bullshit 80-man raids.

>That market is dead. ASSFAGGOTS popularity killed MMOs. Why grind levels for days and have to seek out groups, worry about itemization, etc when a round of ASSFAGGOTS can give all of that in 20 minutes.
Finally someone else realized this. Why spend 100 hours playing a shitty PvE story just to get to end game group raiding. When a shitty MOBA is basically that group based raid.
Note, I hate raids and MOBAs. Just pointing out why its obvious that MOBAs overtook MMOs.
Literally no marketing, devs were too slow to fix the severe performance problems

>>340585851
>DQX is boring as shit and can barely count as an MMO
You realize you just described all MMO, right? But I doubt you even played it and just watched a couple minutes of the game on youtube. So we can safely disregard your view.
>wanted to try out the female robots
>battle stance animations from the class previews looked like shit
Oh well.
>>340585442
How much money did Nost make? Where are they now? Shut down. Fuck off.
>>340582401
The shit artstyle.
Everything about it is an eyesore.
>>340586130
That's why I said name one good MMO. The genre is shit and the entire DQ franchise is braindead garbage.
>>340585442
Nost still doesn't have that many people playing it. Not enough people playing it to where if it was a brand new game it would turn a profit.
How can people play games on such low settings?
>>340582401
Appeal to a niche market.
Female model fiasco on a very touchy time.
No way to rake in casual bux.
Sub in a f2p p2w market.
Mediocre character creator.
Took too much from WoW, even that bad.
Horrible advertisement.
PvP was/is(?) a clusterfuck.
All that aside I enjoyed leveling.
>>340586590
>Female model fiasco
In hindsight, there really was nothing to be worried about.
>>340582401
They made an MMORPG and not just a movie.
>>340585583
Because so many ex-vanilla players sunk a lot of time into Nost
>>340585585
His point was people have grown up and moved on from vanilla but there are still many vanilla players still around but they only want WoW and not Wildstar
>>340586215
Not sure what your point is. Mine was there were a lot of people playing it who were former Vanilla players
>>340586427
Yes and also they would rather stick with WoW
>>340585390
But they're right though. Remember the "I WANT SWG AGAIN! The MMO genre will be good again if developers start making sandboxes again! WANT SANDBOXES MMOS!!!" meme? Yet these faggots will never tell you that all through 2009- 2013 devs have been pumping out sandbox games like a factory. Let me give you a few examples.
Mortal Online
Xsyon
Darkfall
The Repopulation
Dragon's Prophet
Earthrise
MMO scum nuggets don't know what they want, they are worse than women with the frothing at the mouth part. There will never be a good MMO. Face it, this genre is dead.
>>340582401
NOT
ENOUGH
PORN
>>340586873
The original point was that vanilla-fagging is not feasible from a financial standpoint. My point was to confirm this as Nost was only populated since it was free and now it no longer exists.
>>340586976
I thought Wildstar was also free
>>340587047
it wasn't at first. a lot of people seem to not even want to try wildstar on principle.
Nexon got ahold of the project and kicked it out the door half a year early because they wanted $$$ ASAP.
This led to godawful optimization and the worst PvP netcode in -existence-.
Excellent homebuilding system, though. Really great.
Medic a bes
>>340582401
NCsoft were retarded and thought it would be a good Idea to delay localizing BnS for this shit
>>340587357
BnS is shit though.
>>340582401
They catered to a niche genre that appeals to no one but grandpas and the overly nerdy dorks. The Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers space-age atompunk where instead of exploring space you explore alien planets its it inner core.
The graphics and writing really put me off. The leveling up messages actually made me not look forward to leveling up.
So, is Wildstar worth my time or not?How about Skyforge?Black Desert?
>>340587580
fucking this.
everyone knows that fantasy, cyberpunk and grimdark scifi is where its at. who gives a fuck about all this shit. I'm fine with being given what we already know. at least it makes going through the world much more identifiable and easy.

>>340589805
>I don't know what I'm talking about
They marketed as a return to traditional MMOs when it was a themepark MMO lacking in RPG aspects that was just harder than the casual shitfest that is WoW
Harder WoW that is poorly optimized isnt gonna grab much attention. Yes, the difficulty was nice but it still wasnt a good MMO
>>340585851

>>340590115

>>340590405
You lie, there was a thread about it long ago, go look it up at the archive.
>>340591408
and it was actually pretty brutal. The reason the attunement was such a pain was for a long time most people couldnt do the dungeon runs needed.
Its just that challenge alone wont carry an MMO, and especially not get people to drop their current MMO

you can say that about any mmo.
>>340592869
>>340582401
People mistook vanilla WoW's 'hardcore' aspect as difficulty rather than the tedium it was in reality.
Running Maraudon for hours every day to get poison resistance gear was not difficult.
Grinding reputation for hours every day was not difficult.
Running BRD to get Molten Core attunement was not difficult.
Problem was, the Wildstar devs listened to these people and made the game legit difficult. The folks with the rose tinted specs on naturally bailed after realizing mistakes were made.

they used that system to have some pretty spectacular encounter design
it's basically the only good thing about the game
>>340593625

I play this game just for the housing to be honest

>>340593251
They reduced them, and yet the game was still a bust.
>>340593930
by "it" i mean the spectacular encounter design
Dont know about anyone else but this game absolutely fries my CPU on anything but low settings
>>340591703
I was there when it happened, you have wrong info. They changed the breast size down a good chunk but left the hips/ass alone. Then they ended up adding multiple body types
fuck-ugly art style
terrible leveling
terrible grouping system
endgame was alright but way overrated
terrible core combat

>>340593045
Difficulty is fine. People loved the BC heroics for example.
What people do not like are speed runs. There is a reason barely anyone on WoW does CM's. Speedruns are the most autistic thing I can think of.
Wildstar decieded that all raiding was locked behind speed runs. All decent loot had to come from gold rankings, which you could only get from speed running as well.
It was fucking retarded, and they deserved to fail for doing something so brain numbingly stupid.
>>340582401

Well the game is free to play now, so I might as well check it out and see if its enjoyable or not.
>>340594269
>Difficulty is fine. People loved the BC heroics for example.
Agreed, but this is why I mentioned vanilla only. There was nothing that jumps out to me as difficult with vanilla outside some of the bosses of the 40mans, then again it's been a long fucking time so I'm probably forgetting something.
But yeah running heroics on BC when CC and all that shit were required, finding a good group of players on your server and just mastering those runs was great. Fucking Blizzard and fucking cross realm bullshit. What a waste.
>>340582401
Dungeons were fun enough from what I saw but everything else was boring. I gave it an honest try and liked it enough for what it was, but it was just boring.
>>340586517
you have no choice because the game runs like shit even though it looks lightly better than current wow
>>340594564
No, it double punishes dying.
Normally you lose the amount of time the death take, causing the run to take longer, and making you less efficient. Those who are good can gear up faster as they can do more content in a single day.
A single death in wildstar would effectively waste the entire run, negating all previous effort that was put in.
Either way it did not matter, in W*, everyone started glitching the fuck out of stuff to save time, ruining the entire dungeons. Spending 2 mins at the start jumping into a wall so you can get past a certain area, then exiting and restarting if it did not work is stupid.
Exiting and restarting depending on the RNG events that popped in dungeons is stupid.
Speed runs are for faggots. The fact you are defending them is pretty gay.
>>340586517
By growing up with enough to get by.
The reason frame drops in games don't affect me much is because I grew up playing WoW on toasters so my frame rate would at most reach 20fps
>>340594564
wow has scaling difficulty and mutators now
cant get that next tier because you literally get instant killed? get better, you have all week.
>>340594850
vanilla dungeons were difficult at the appropriate gear level, later patches they were easy to outgear
>>340594985
No, a wipe in the wildstar dungeons fucked the entire run. A death was recoverable
>devs break something every patch
>when they fix the broken thing they break 5 other things
this personally is what killed the game for me outside of the game running like shit
>>340595182
How about bad RNG on events? Swordmaidens for example.
Speedruns are for autists bro.
>>340595282
You never played the game anyway, you erp'ing faggot.
>>340594269
Some speed runs can be okay.
I enjoyed ZA bear runs but it was a huge retard/casual check and required basic competence which most people lack(ed). It required two components:
>have the gear to be useful (no, not insanely overgeared like casuals back then and now believe)
>pay the smallest modicum of attention
And good goddamn almighty son of a bitch people could NOT follow these two teensy little rules. You could even suffer one death and still clear a bear run but it was not manageable if your group had legitimately stupid players.
>>340586083
Doing this on veteran was waay worse. Wildstar really is the only truly difficult MMO on the market.
>>340595367
played it for a year senpai, dont get mad because the people who make this game find a way to kill it at every turn
How do I make a cozy house?
>>340587357
In the end it doesn't matter, that localization ruins the fun of BnS
>>340595395
Is getting the bear the only way to get into raids? Is getting the bear the only way to get gear that is better than crafted other than raiding? Is there any point in finishing the dungeon when you are 90% done and you realize you are not going to get the bear?
You do not know how stupid W*'s speedruns were.

>I erp'd for a year
good for you. fuck off back to ffxiv now.
>>340595628

Oh sure you're probably right. I never played enough of Wildstar to experience that. I was speaking in general of MMOs, not only about Wildstar. Sorry.
>>340594269
doing heroic dungeons in wildstar was honestly a nightmare for getting attunement you had 30 minutes for clearing the dungeon and if a single person died you had to start all over again,usually if someone fucked up the whole group just quit

It proves people who say, "I want a game like vanilla WoW!" are full of shit, and they just want to play vanilla WoW
They have no interest in evolving vanilla WoW's ideas and moving them forwards, they just want to play vanilla WoW and that Blizzard was 100% justified and fully vindicated for beating WoW into the shitty state its in, because people just came for warcraft and didn't give a fuck about what the game was actually like
And so those people are still around, and now they'll get the casuals who are raping the genre too, and then the facebook crowd, and then the movie crowd, etc etc and on and on

>>340596289
It really ain't that. Usually there aren't many skills needed during combat, and even if there were many they are very easily memorized and almost become like your own reflexes. If that is too hard for a casual, then these casuals should get their memory tested. That leaves only the boss mechanics to worry about.

There's a hundred npcs, a hundred quests to read through, players going around with all sorts of customization, monsters each with their unique description and drops, changing your equipes, aparence and skills every 15 min. And this is all in the first hour. I understand mmo is all about a world, but honestly it feels like being dropped in an ocean without knowing how to swim yet.

That was my experience. Some fucking goat and a robot thing were blocking my character so I couldn't customize it. Reloading three times seemed to fix it but that was only the beginning...
It has the exact same shitty overdone and busy UI as any Korean MMO I played. WHY is that fucking UI so common?
seriously why are all the classes so bland?
>have guns, shoot
>have a sword swing it
>have a medigun-heal
not even WoW which is where most of these games use as a base for their classes is so bland
hell atleast GW2 tried mixing it up a bit
>>340597646
you can get ui addons if you want, also i hear the base game ui is what makes the game run so bad
>>340597283
I forgot WvW, still undead.
>>340597343
8/9 classes are "meta" in pvp atm as I've been told. However when I was playing HALF the fucking classes were trash. The meta is either over-centralized on burst damage or bunkers, never a nice mix to solidify roles. I cannot speak on PvE as I rarely did any bar the raids.
>>340582401
The combat tries so hard to be different that it's really just boring telegraphs aren't new or unique.
Also this might be a personal thing but combat between classes doesn't 'feel' different like compared to wow where pretty much everything builder/spender/proc/cd if you boil it down at least classes feel different. In wildstar its just paint the bad guys blue and don't stand in the red.
It's also because people don't actually want vanilla WoW because vanilla WoW was actually mechanically and unbalanced shitty mess.
They want to feeling of playing an mmo for the first time where everything wasn't data mined 4 months in advance, every quest didn't have a wiki page explaining exactly what to do and people want to feel like they did theorycrafting with their class (even if they didn't). Wildstar though people actually though grinds were fun or attuments were a good mechanic instead of just shitposters on reddit/mmochampion,/v/ nostalgia jerking.
>>340597750
>have a medigun-heal
ho fuck nigga do you not know shit about medic.
>>340582401
Two things killed it for me after release - the boring as fuck attunement grind and the myriad technical problems which made the game run like shit. The UI had a memory leak for fucks sake.
Also
>a post-WoW MMO not having a seamless world with an absolute minimum of loading screens
As much as it may be hated, WoW set the standard for quality in this regard.
>>340597850
>I played to level 7 so I know everything about the game
Play a spellslinger then a warrior and tell me they feel the same, you donut.
>>340597646
I've Reloaded about six times now and I get the same issues
1) A goat and random character model are blocking the customization screen
2) Every time either some Dominion characters are missing or all of them are
3) When I change genders not all of the characters change, some some are stuck male and some are stuck female.
Honestly how do you fuck up so bad, that the first bad impression you give is a character creation screen that doesn't even work?
>>340586215
Oh look, A Wildstar furfag angry that more people want to play Vanilla WoW than Wildstar
>>340598110
I havent had any issue starting, maybe its just you anon
>>340598110
game works for me :^)
>>340597992
I levelled a ESPer and stalker to max, warrior and engineer to 40somthings and a medic and SS to maybe 20ish before they bored me.
If you feel I'm wrong please enlighten me to how the classes 'feel' different beyond being melee and ranged.
>>340582401
I forgot Wildstar existed.
>>340582401

No, I've had this happen to me as well. It's not just that Anon. I didn't even know Dominion characters existed until my character screen decided to work. It's a clusterfuck.
It takes a special kind of ineptitude if your big Steam launch has a buggy character creation screen.
Biggest issue it think is that it fell into the same trap of trying to be the Wow-killer instead of making it's own identity.
Pretty there are only 3-4 MMOs worth a damn nowadays. WoW (the OG MMO), FFXIV (For the FF audience + people who are sick of WoW), TERA (No sub fee means you can go on-and-off with no regrets and it's particularly good for RP/ERP, less hardcore in general) and EVE (If you want something completely different and yet, still the same underneath.)
>>340597215
>favorite race of any mmo is the WoW goblins
>small race so it looks like you run faster but you dont
>jews
>thieves and liars

When i played FF14 i instantly made a potato
>also jews, going good
>somewhat of thieves and liars, i could at least pick rogue class
>nobody talks, aw fuck
>fucking potatoes
>look "cute" instead of "whore" no matter what glamour i pick
oh well whats this wildstar then, yeah they have these chua things
>no females
how do you instantly fuck something up this hard?

None of those games are good

If you've played one you've played them all. that's the big problem.
Way back when there were quite a few different mmo's doing blatantly different things. Matrix online, city of heroes, star wars galaxies, world of warcraft, ragnarok online. these all felt very different and had their absolute own identity, not only in aesthetic but in game mechanics. unfortunately for most of them, they were outshone by world of warcraft, which took reign as supreme mmo. at the time it was all about community, so when there was barely any, and barely any money coming in, they shut em down. code locked away never to be played ever again.
After world of warcraft won the big mmo war, literally every mmo since just tried to be what it was, and every single one of them fail and fall into obscurity. age of conan, warhammer online, and soon to be swtor and wildstar. fuck there have been even more but they were here and gone in the blink of an eye i can't even fucking remember. i remember people saying tabula rasa did some cool stuff, but released right around the peak of WoW's popularity. there was no way it was gonna survive.
i'd love to see all the classics make a comeback for a while. i'd love to play city of heroes again. but all these games will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
>>340594682

>>340582401
I'm drunk and looking for some shit mmo to fill this moment of blissful inebriation. Just uninstalled wildstar because of how many fucking "addon failures" and server disconnects.
Aura Kingdom is dead because nvidia driver issues, but I need something in that super-casual area to fill these times I'm too drunk to actually focus on the game.
>>340599161
>DON'T CENSOR MY SHITPOSTING
ok
>>340582401
People thought they wanted it, turns out they didn't.
>>340599050
He's right though. It's like saying The Beatles were the original rock band.
>>340599292
no that was dragonforce
>>340599229
>completely drunk?
i always fire up a game ofINSERT MOBA OF CHOICE
besides a new mmo would take too long to download
i personally play heroes of the storm completely double vision drunk because i dont have to run back to a shop and stare at a shop screen and think about how much money i have.
you could always try Tree of Savior i hear its completely mindless
>tfw no new decent mmorpg with decent sized playerbase
hurts a little bit
>>340582401
Once I reached party-only content, I stopped. There were hardly enough players to even pick up a ragtag group of 4 or 5. Also all the quests are the same.
>>340599661
I have HotS, but I like having a goal to work towards, and HotS quest system of having to play X style of character is annoying to me, doubly when I'm drunk. I can buckle down and do the quests every 3 days becuase it's an itch to scratch, but I need something more on-the-fly.
A classic mmo idea of "I'll just do this dungeon/quest and get another level" is what I need. I only say mmo because they're more likely to have easy shit to do with the same idea of flash over substance combat/mechanics.
>>340596546
>Goobergoyim.
I don't give a fuck about /pol/s political agenda, the PvP is the best in the genre and everyone I've ever introduced to it has agreed.
You faggots cry about gameplay > story all the time, but when it comes to push you're gonna write off an entire game for some insignificant NPC text that you'd never see, let alone read.
I feel sorry for you.
>>340582401
No lore to make me interested in the world like World of Warcraft had.
>>340600061
i got to max level in final fantasy drinking like a fucking fish the whole way through.
I did a little roleplay. Right at the start they ask you a few questions that actually dont mean anything. I answered "i wanted to be an adventurer to get rich" and just went on from there. My character did not give a single fuck about the story or the cutscenes. At first i would just skip the cutscenes but as i would get drunker i would just watch the whole thing pretending like my character did not give a single shit about what was going on. He would never react, never comment, never act, and since he was a lala most of the time he was barely in fucking frame.
It was fucking amazing. I loved every single second of it, just pretending like my character was just getting frustrated about having to stand around and watch people do things around him, all he wanted was to get fucking paid.
if it wasnt for alcohol i would seriously have never played that game.
>>340600721
Lazarin's story was pretty interesting IMO
>>340596654
Reads like it was written by someone who hasn't played the game tbqhwy, mate.
>>340600061
You know what's better than being forced to play X character?
Having to mulch cards for every other character in order to get cards to make your main actually work, then you have to win games as other characters for quests and that shit clogs up your 3-quest limit until you beat it.
Fuck you Hearthstone, I ain't playing Shaman.

>>340600983
or just play and have fun and do the brawl and then use your gold to get arenas
fuck getting "legendary" with some stupid net deck.
>>340597060
Pretty hyperbolic.
The only truth here is the legendary controversy. Doesn't seem to bother most people, nor myself, but it's still fucking retarded.
That said every single little patch since has been top fucking tier. Seems like ANet has started seriously cracking the whip.
>>340593747
I thought telegraphs were alright up until they started having ones that moved extensively or had large zones that weren't actually dangerous. Telegraphs are supposed to tell you where it's conclusively safe right now, they're not supposed to BE the fight mechanics.
>>340582401
Pay-to-play MMO about four years too late, with a brand new IP with no appeal other than the aesthetics of the universe (quasi-deamworks retrofuturism in concept, ps2 disney liscense game in execution).
By the time they realized that no one is going to buy a cow they love when they can get milk that they sort of like for free, it was too late.

i like attunement stuff like this
that's what i want
when the game went free to play they took that shit out and i lost interest
same thing with wow, the in-depth quests with a ton of lore behind them that gave you a feeling of achievement because they took time and effort to accomplish were phased out completely by WotLK and I gave zero shits about the game anymore.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TcJflSb.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>340582401
your picture shows exactly what went wrong. pic fucking related.
the people who want a 'serious business' kind of mmo do not want a game full of purple haired girls with huge pixar eyes, fluffy tails and furry bunny ears.
the entire artstyle is a failure. everything is designed to be over-the-top, cutesy or quirky. that shit alienates everybody who values a somewhat believable and serious world.
>>340601191
i thought the telegraphs were stupid because they were all just the same red textures. In wow if a boss casts some stupid aoe thing its a circle of fel energy, a pool of water, FIRE, a ring outlined in runes, fucking rumbling earth, a dangerous looking tornado, SOMETHING OTHER THAN A RED FUCKING MARK ON THE FLOOR
FUCKING WOW CAN DO IT
>>340596546
>guild wars fans this is your mindset
Don't tell me you have an RSS feed too, huh?
>>340601236
Note that ESO fell into that same trap, the only difference being that they thought the strength of the IP would draw people in.
But then they took that IP and shit all over it, while at the same time making a bland, boring title that would have been great had it been released alongside Everquest 2.
Honestly? The shitty character creator killed it for me.
>>340600621
Blade & Soul objectively is the best PvP in the MMO genre, GW2 is just watered down and restricted to make it seem like a shitty moba with 8 buttons, it's more balanced sure but it's only balanced because its just rock paper scissors
>>340601290
>in-depth quests with a ton of lore
That's not what the Wildstar attunement grind was, though (at least not completely). If it had been, I might have kept at it.
There's no in-universe explanation for requiring silver medals from dungeons.

gw2 pvp is a moronic clusterfuck with zero depth
its such a huge step down from gw1 i have no idea how the fuck people can claim it is anything but trash
they said wed get vanilla wow
instead we got modern wow with obnoxious humor, artstyle, everything and bugs

This. Even speaking as someone who enjoys GW2 PvP, holy fuck is it a confusing mess - I have no idea how people take it seriously.

the game was not legit difficult. i was in enigma for the world first/only avatus 40 kill and then destroyed the 20 man and bounced. yea cleaving ele pairs and facerolling everything was real tough...i guess pre nerf fire/life was kinda fun though
>>340599292
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
