Revisiting WildStar in 2024 | What Went Wrong?

[@RicomaZigam]

I played a bit of the original closed beta for WildStar, only played very little, about lvl 15 or something and at that point the game were not challenging at all, I remember soloing a 3 man quest, but I suppose the game might have gotten a lot more difficult further in, but I think my main reason for dropping it already during the beta were the very poor optimization, lag in that game were much more detrimental compared to tab targeting games. Probably wouldn't be as bad now days with more stable network connections. For the paths, I don't really remember them doing all that much for the game, for a soldier you got a short kill quest here and there, scientist got to scan some flowers and what not, explorers were probably the only slightly memorable since you got some jumping puzzles, but that's about it. On the topic of buying game time with in game money, Eve Online allows for it, and in WoW you have the WoW Token now days. But I think both works in the way of someone buying it with real money first and then selling it in an auction house/market.

Awesome to hear from someone who played the Beta! On paper the Path system sounds awesome but I agree, in practice it never really did much. If it was fully fleshed out i think it could've been really cool mechanic. Also, That's really cool! I didn't know Eve did that as well. Makes sense too since it incentivizes people to keep playing. FF14 recently did a massive trial period for players and now they're resubbing.

@@RicomaZigam Same!! Really fun. I love Final Fantasy, especially 9 & 12. My picture is a Moogle lol.

5:15 That's comical given that the original idea for the game was to make an MMO more akin to WoW's BC days lol. Wildstar was fuckin hard

[@helensvhs]

Yeah, It's a funny sad feeling you get from WildStar.

This is an MMORPG with so much potential that died way too soon. I honestly miss this game.

[@joedamore9350]

Amazing game if they had jus dialed down the hardcore raid attunements and tweaked pvp would still be going strong

[@jeegory1883]

[@helensvhs]

Thank you! ❤️ Yeah, it seemed to have lots of promise. Truly sad.

The trailers for this game is what peaked my interest but the full game was bloated with everything but good/ fun content. Such a waste potential ;(
