Lot of hate on the US forums

[Dr. Doom]

The golden age is probably just over, most companies probably know exactly the lessons blizzard has learned and will follow suit. Plus games like wildstar that supposedly 'cater to us' have failed spectacularly. Though, personally I blame that on other things.. didnt even make it max level before losing interest

I completely skipped gaming and reading about gaming between 2012 and 2015 so I came to know of Wildstar pretty late. It seemed like a very interesting idea.

What would you say made it fail?

I'll always respect the original iteration of the game. 41 days before the first 40 man boss was killed. Final 40 man boss only killed by 1 guild in the entire world before being downsized to 20 man, after... 6 months? of being up. Just impressive.

The unbelievably clunky interface and display stretching bug on 5:4 resolution ran on nvidia .
