    Besides queues on high pop servers, I still assert Ishgard will have the "Sorry too full!" error that Gold Saucer did on day 1. I just can't figure out whether or not Early Access will be a cluster or not, or if it'll basically divide the load into two groups (EA vs Launch).

    They said they aren't going to uncap Poetics, likely because of the "i130 lasts you until around 55" reason. In other words, i100/i110 Soldiery gear is sufficient to start you off, and/or i120 World of Darkness gear. EDIT - I spoke too soon. Cap was raised to 900 from 450 this last night's...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Pretty much this. Their flicks were very well made, I liked the writing which was pretty damn funny at times, but bits of the gameplay just didn't do it for me (especially when the sprint hotkey led to some of my fingers literally twitching at times for two weeks).

    I'd be surprised if you didn't catch up on crafting -- and I mean 8/8 Lucis-- in 2 hours. But even if you didn't, 3.0(?) = Free Company airship crafting! EDIT: (I might be exaggerating the bit about Lucis a little.)

    I still boggle about the difference between Kick-Ass and this movie for Aaron Taylor-Johnson's appearance. If it wasn't for IMDB's pictures I would've called bullshit on it being the same guy.

    Throwing down the gauntlet: What is your current average number of runs for those 8?! (You did X dungeon runs, of those that could drop, to get Y drops.) My first Zodiac was about 3.5 average (52? total runs for all 16), with my highest count going to Halatali HM at 11/12 runs. 4 were...

    I thought it was a little contrived that Jiaying would go to the trouble of losing it to declare war, but since SHIELD has the Inhuman "Doomsday Device", I'd guess what she really wanted was to remove SHIELD from the equationbecausethey had it. In other words, assuming they knew what it did =...

    I totally lucksacked Aurum Vale as my 1-run-only dungeon on BOTH the Zodiacs I'm working on (Nirvana, which is done; Last Resort, to finish by 3.0). Darkhold is probably going to be my problem child this time like Halatali HM was last time.

    Honestly, I thought the situation with Gemma and Bobby, and Skye shooting Ward, were both matters of letting their guard down. In the first case, just playing along, and in the second the holding-a-candle reason applies... until she shot him four times. As for Simmons sneaking up on Ward...

    Random aside, but I think it's safe to say that, based on the hints we've gotten, Theta Protocol is preparation for, and enacted in the event of a doomsday/armageddon scenario.

    They'll probably have the "we warned you" part in the 3.0 patch.I can't wait to feed on those tears, personally. The people who keep up with the game get rewarded, the slackers get punished for their inactivity! Server, Ishgard, or Duty Finder queues?

    If they deliver on even half of that gameplay trailer, Game of the Decade may not be beyond them. I know I was O.O at some of it. It'd certainly be a gauntlet tossed in Bethesda's direction.

    heh, I was lucky on Zodiac. Aside from Snowcloak and Halatali (Hard), all my drops were in 1-5 runs. Got 4 on my first run, and 5 others were 2-3. =p Average # of runs all totalled, was about 3.2. So, naturally, doing Last Resort will mean it's like 10 runs each.
