Let me start this post saying that i loved Wildstar, when i saw the dev speak videos i was sure the combat would be nothing more then completely amazing, and they got that part right! Then i got lucky enough to get into Stress Test Beta and was amazed by some tiny details around the world environment like the shadows moving around the world as the clouds passed by my region, then water in rivers pushing me down stream and so on, costumes ! omg costumes they are amazing, housing incredible housing!
 
They had 20 mans and a progressive tsystem that i felt was worth putting my time on, even tho i knew 40 mans would backfire i figured the devs would have a backup plan in case roster boss started destroying guilds.
 
But as i feared, the game lost it's population in a very hardcore way, and the devs actions were all but late.
 
Sadly it all came down to 4 things:
 
First and foremost, Optimization, this game is heavy and laggy whenever you start it, it's crazy how i can have 6 heavy graphic games open at the same time and alt tab between all of them and still have better fps and system operation then WS, this game still feels like beta, restarting a client every 30 min during raid time ( entire raid btw) so the memory leak stops it's insane, not even wow vanilla had these many issues, and that's 10 fkn years ago.
 
Second, inconvenience, this game is highly inconvenient to play, the qol lacking aspects like being able to trade items that were mislooted during dungeons or raids is retarded, this is so out of reality i can't even believe it exists in a game that sells itself as a AAA. Too much grinding, this game combat is amazing but after 3 months crimson badlands is as much fun as going to a starter zone and grinding mobs for 50 hours straight, and believe me did i grind mobs and bgs for ability/tier points, i have 58 days played on my warrior since release, and none of that was afk in illium bored, it was pure grind/pvp/raid.
 
Third, stretching small content, i'm unsure if this game was rushed to snatch wow lack of content momentum or just ran out of money, but it's pretty clear things are lacking and completely unfinished, the amount of rng shoved into this game is mind blowing, it's a mix of Vanilla D3 with vanilla Wow, a shitstorm of terribad items that are there to obviously stretch 2 starter raids to buy time, the raid mechanics are dead easy, the only hard thing is beating lag, fps drops and roster boss, and i have a feeling the devs knew about that and purposely tried to hold people with this system to see if the *hardcore* bs would stick. AMp/Ability points were literally the most retarded thing i've ever seen in my life, these should be the same base number for everyone, PERIOD.
 
Fourth, terrible decisions, when things started bugging like adventures or people were selling ratings in arenas, the devs had pisspoor attitude toward the game, first they broke WotW, the only adventure you could grind that worked and wasn't crimelords or the dreadful Malgrave Trail, then if that kind of crazy intake of the game wasn't enough, they decided to rng slots in pvp, lmfao, i mean srsly who had these ideas ? These are so mindblowing bad ideas i couldn't even believe they went trough, it's like they live in a different reality where common sense is to get high from acid and throw a dart in a bad idea wall of shame.
 
 
I might sound salty, and that's because i truly am, i expected this game to at least have the good sense to learn from other developers mistake over the past 10 years, but it seems to me you guys decided to be arrogant and dash over to whatever you felt was right, witouth looking at how QoL is what hold players today, this game system is at least 7 years old, please take off your nostalgia glasses and look around to see how things work nowadays.
 
I could go on but this post will prob get locked and deleted and soon forgotten, so let me just clarify this to whoever might think i'm just a random noob.
 
I raided with subterfuge(my insights of the game don't reflect the guilds insight so it's highly personal) and i cleared GA, got my chosen glove imbuement title, i got world 4th kills in several bosses and minibosses in Datascape, and i can tell you this right now, this game is going f2p, when WoD hits this game will be hit so hard that i'll be thinking of you blind white knights rage when the ship finally sinks.
 
But, saltiness aside, i really wish the devs could've figured out things better, this game was the only game i ever felt that could bring something fun and exciting to the mmo world and beat WoW in it's due time, sadly it was only combat, costume and housing that were refreshing, all the rest was a bad trip to memory lane of everything that was wrong in WoW vanilla and korean mmo grinders.
