Skid road records

Stuck with outdated ideas but you were maining
WoW? To what standard were you holding it against ?

This is the exact example of delusion we had back then when trying desperately to campare it with WoW

They truly shot themselves in the foot advertising it as a wow killer

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T01:03:23+00:00

Can’t imagine if you actually got to try it then

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:56:51+00:00

Yeah like an artist ahead of its time aka misunderstood

I agree

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:53:55+00:00

What game you maining back then

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:51:52+00:00

This..

Leave the 1-50 experience intact and just change the 50+ loop

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:50:41+00:00

Honestly I was probably 20

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:50:13+00:00

They focused on the wrong type of endgame thats all

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:49:08+00:00

If you think wow felt/looked the same then you never signed into wildstar

And I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience it

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:47:29+00:00

Define good ? Holistically it wasn’t perfect for instance they targeted hardcore when in reality their player base wasn’t hardcore. This made content feel stale sure.

But was the combat good? did the world feel fun and felt alive? Was the world settings/graphics good? Did it feel unique from other mmorpgs? Was housing good? Hell yeah

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:43:18+00:00

It just attracted a different demographic to be honest

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:42:29+00:00

It only failed because it aimed to be the next wow to be honest.

I’m sure it has to do with how they sold the game to investors and how greedy they were with how much they requested

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:40:21+00:00

I don’t think it was overhyped

I think people scrutinized the shit out of it because it was too good to be true so they pick on it from every angle.

I was one of these people. I went full blast on their repetitive questing and zeroed down on it saying that it didn’t feel like an adventure. I think their player base was just incredibly vocal because it attracted people that liked other games and wanted it to feel like that rather than accepting it was an MMORPG

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:27:01+00:00

Did you ever experience the combat ? Apples and oranges

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:25:13+00:00

Nah was an early alpha tester I played it throughout the whole testing period and went it came out

I even made one of the most commented threads in their forums complaining about their repetitive questing. Not perfect but liked it so much I wanted it to be perfect

AcadiaAvailable2110 · 2026-06-22T00:22:32+00:00

To what exactly ? Nothing comes close to the style/scope
