Wolcen Hype Release!

Gzzzz 127,000 players peak, shows you how desperate people are for new arpg.

We shall see in a couple of weeks if that "peak" will be at 10k. Enjoy the hype train for as long as it lasts,because hype trains can go off the rails pretty fast.

Don't get me wrong,competition is good,at least that would make tencent invest more in developers for bugfixing instead of hideouts. But this,this wolcen is just a passing hype train,cho choooooo.....2 weeks from now that number will be half as much,2 months from now peak is 10 max 20 k.

My biggest problem with it is that playing the game isn't fun. Fail.

You do realize that is wildly subjective?

I think the same thing when I see Kripp streaming Hearthstone and thousands watching him.

Like seriously?

ofc it's subjective, but I like arpgs a lot and wolcen is a very bad one.

Here we go again... elitism in its purest state. I have zero challenges. Does that mean I don't like arpgs or that I'm bad at them?
Come on, you seemed smart... Intelligence can also be subjective.

I have one challenge. And I only have that one from screwing around in league for a little bit at the start since our passive resets on Standard were delayed. It was the first time I had touched a league since Synth.

It's not a particularly useful or valid metric to judge people by. It's good for baiting though, so there's that.

I bought this Friday and had a lot of fun with my first character (staff auto attack / spell). Then the server thing hit so I started offline. Tried melee and hated it. By the time the 'onlines' were back up on Sunday I didn't have the desire to play anymore given the duping and glitching going on in that environment.

There's nothing about the game drawing me back in to play it. I went to their website and didn't see any tools to mock up offline skill trees, or see what runes are available for skills.

With no vision of an end build in mind, and a character (melee) and an environment (dupe filled online) I find distasteful, I've been playing other shit this entire long weekend. Both my characters completed chapter 1...and that's it. I suppose I could go respec my offline character out of melee and into anything else, but...eh.

It's a shame, I thought I'd be grinding this hard for 3.5 days.

I actually hate ranged combat way more. The problem is the default AoE ranged skill they give you is the worst AoE skill I've seen. And there is barely any other choice. You need to actually collect gold to buy skills which is stupid. I want to see a game for once where you don't have to grind to get the good skills. I mean fuck, you still need to grind the skill itself to level it, its not like giving you access to it will ruin everything.
