137423-i-really-wanted-to-like-it

== Content ==
			
I came to give the game a fair shot, I really wanted to like it. I didn't appreciate or like a lot of the changes that occurred near the end of its testing cycle over a year ago. However the game really does have a place in my heart and I hoped to see it succeed. So I came back, to see what they were doing to improve and do better.
 
I was grinding away somewhere for experience, it is what I do. I don't like questing, I want to just slaughter stuff. I found a nice little spot that was feeding my experience bar nicely. I was in a nice groove. Then I thought, killing some players sure sounds satisfying right now. I pull up the queue, try to join Walatiki. Well, when the popup appeared and I hit join, I was teleported back to the Crimson Isle. I move on over to Deradune, I try one more time. Again teleported back to the Crimson Isle, however this time when I try moving back to Deradune, the game proceeds to lock up. Can't alt+F4, can't ctrl+alt+del, can't tab, nothing. 
 
After I rebooted my computer, I came to the forums. Checked the bug reports to see if I was alone. I wasn't, this seemed to be an issue. However this wasn't all that I noticed, there were many other major issues as well. Don't get me wrong I can understand the struggles of "launch" day woes. However the problems far transcend that. This was/is a broken game, things weren't working and still aren't working. This is an established game now, there are far to many MAJOR bugs running around for a live release. 
 
Simply put, I find it unacceptable at this stage of the games life.

			Don't you think that it's a bit too quick? You said that you wanted to. It doesn't seem so at all. If you really wanted, you'd show some patience until all the launch problems are settled. Honestly, i find that unfair - Carbine's working their cupcakes off to get things going.

People like you make me laugh every time, because you obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

While some systems have changed and the population influx does make a difference, this isn't a true launch. Either way my issues don't concern so much the server instability but the major bugs within the game itself. 
 
Everything appears sloppy, I've had my fair share of patience with Carbine in the past. This feels like the Carbine I lost faith in over a year ago. The expectation of "tough it out, it is sure to be better" is ridiculous.

you know with every launch relaunch or an expansion there are bound to be bugs .. look at WoW when they released warlords the ptr was fine then live came on and massive problems like we have .
 
so i will wait it out play when i can or something else. Wildstar isnt my life, its just a tiny part of it.
things have gotten better and will continue too
 
also seems i posted same thing as poster above me

			I really want this game to succeed, i  love the character this game presents. though i find it hard to toughen though it in it's current state. i will stay updated with whats going on but in the mean time i am frustrated i can't enjoy the game that's released. though i will keep up with it until it does get smoothed out. just hope it's sooner than latter.

This is a true Relaunch just as FFXIV ARR was. All of them come with hiccups and problems. Give it a chance, if you like, or don't. It's F2P you can play it for free if you aren't sure. Best of luck to you what ever you do.

I think what people who are not devs do , is compare to other experiences. I don't need to be an automotive engineer to discern when a car is badly designed, I just need to compare it to a car that is designed better. I do not have to be a mechanic to know when my car is running poorly. Most importantly, if you offer to let me test drive your new and improved vehicle, it needs to start up when I turn the key.

			Yah i'm getting some of those lock ups too.  Played for several months on launch and never had the issue, but now i am same PC and everything.  I heard that if your PC locks up and the num lock light wont go on or off then that means its a hard lockup so you have to shut down the PC. If the num lock light is going on and off then its just a program that has locked up. The weird thing with WS is the PC locked up, the num lock key isnt going on or off but WS is still on the screen and the animations and sound are still playing.  So i dont know what the deal is with that.

			Most of the people threatening to quit!!!1 over login issues are just irrational impatient babies and will be back on board once it all blows over.

Nazryn, come on now.
 
This is nothing like FFXIV's relaunch.
 
The entire game had been rebuilt for FFXIV, from the ground up. Every single aspect of that game had been changed because 1.0 was a massive failure.
 
They aren't even in the same ballpark.

If you want to seriously give it another chance just come back in a week or two and give it a go when the issues have been ironed out.  If you are shooting it down because of relaunch issues then I don't think you were actually giving it a serious chance to begin with.
 
One of the biggest MMO's, the one that has been floating around for the last decade has this issue every, single, expansion release.  To say that there shouldn't be any issues because a game has been around for a year or two is not exactly realistic if you consider that a billion dollar company like the one I am talking about has issues every time there is an influx in players.

Did you play the latest expansion?  There were estimated times like this on many servers...  but just like this game they were usually just visual bugs rather than actual estimates,
 
There were character issues, some of mine were stuck in the void which meant if I tried to log them the game would crash on me, and others simply came up "character cannot be found".  I kept on getting disconnects regularly, the lag for the most part was just unbearable.  I ended up transferring my mains to an almost completely dead server just to be able to play.
 
If you try and claim that they didn't experience these issues then you are just outright lying to yourself.  I don't care about you lying to me because I have played each expansion and have experienced all the issues first hand.  But you shouldn't lie to yourself.
 
Not to mention the issues in their latest expansion persisted for almost 2 week.

Not to anything like this extent.
 
On WoW Expac patch days I have never had to join a login queue with a 146 hour estimated wait.
I've never been unable to create a new character.
I've never been locked into an endless character select/login loop.
 
Yes the game has seen an increase in lag, and there were of course bugs - bugs I can accept; but I've never experienced a game so bad that it was (and remains) effectively unplayable for 5 solid days.
 
All The Best

All I can say is I have never experienced those issues to the same degree in WoW (or any other game) as I have in Wildstar over the last week.
 
I think Wildstar is suffering from the same problem as ESO (a game I walked away from 3 months ago because the problem got so bad).
 
They are both very good games, game that should and could be great games; but they labour under the yoke of bad management.

And I've not experienced a single problem with Wildstar launch at least not after they opened Jabbit 2. No lag and no queues. So just because you've not had problems with WoW certainly does not mean there weren't any.
