The level of incoming damage wasn't excessive (either because it was a low level or because they nerfed it for the demo), but the time to kill per mob was such that you could expect to dodge the same telegraph attack repeatedly in the same fight against a regular "kill 10 rats" quest target. Mentally, I figured I should give the thing a chance later in testing, but my gut was that this much dodging and active combat was more work than I was prepared to put into solo questing. My gut won out.

I didn't want to have to spend weeks grinding up to max level to start raiding. At least for me, MMOs are always a rush to grind to max level to start doing the 'real' content. The exploration and slow paced leveling are a lot of fun, but not with the threat of finally reaching max to level to find all your friends are already burnt out of the max level content.<br /><br />2. $60 box price PLUS a $15/mo fee just felt like a lot of money. It seems like most other MMOs are either $60 and free to play, or $20-30 with a subscription. I ended up not buying the game on launch simply because I didn't want to spend $60 for one month of gameplay without knowing how much I would actually like it.<br /><br />I think WildStar had a lot of potential, more-so than most other MMOs, but I just don't think it's the MMO I'm waiting for.Kadaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826029508824702882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-41636551372563889772014-09-09T06:59:38.623-07:002014-09-09T06:59:38.623-07:00"I don't think I'm good enough for th..."I don't think I'm good enough for the game you are making."<br /><br />This was a big part of it for me although it didn't kick in until Level 22 or so. I was also getting behind the leveling curve which was having a negative impact on queuing for dungeons and adventures. <br /><br />Lastly, I saw the huge timesink attunement with high skill requirements (Silvers in Vets ain't no joke) and I knew I wouldn't complete it. It's hard to keep pressing on when you know you are speeding toward a brick wall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021888227904891627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-92034385751197690372014-09-09T01:07:36.172-07:002014-09-09T01:07:36.172-07:00I think a lot of them will be feeling the lure of ...I think a lot of them will be feeling the lure of WoW. New expansion on the horizon, with a new patch coming up first. If you're not THAT hooked on WS it's a good time to switch back, get a whole new levelling experience and more raids later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
