    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Laugh, it never ceases to amaze me why some people move from thread to thread of games the supposedly 'hate' just shitting them up. You don't like the game, say so (preferably including why) and move on. Page after page of 'l33t burn' drive-bys really just make you look like the world would...

    I agree with everything except the bugs... aside from the memory leak (which is admittedly a gigantic pain in the ass), most of the bugs I have run into are very minor and would clean up in a polish pass (which obviously they are not doing yet with no content over 36 even in testing yet). I...

    And you can do it with 20 as well? Seriously, is all this sandy vagina whining about 40 man because 'I want the bestest lewts but don't have time to get 40 people together'.

    Thing that helped me the most honestly, was practising doing angle moves consistently. You can open up a lot of combos for yourself if you can get good at it. The above is excellent though, bunch on there I had never even thought of!

    Yeah, double delay is the key. You just can't get it done with a 16x and a single delay even with solid matching. Wishing I had an Orochi :/. Ahh well, I will just luci grind it next time it comes around... my 8 star hera and zeus will have to wait :P

    Mermaid is a better sub as she can be a 8 turn heart-maker which is pretty much essential (though Drawn Joker is better at the moment). Angel on the other hand has an ultimate evo coming and while not great at the moment, looks to be pretty amazing when it rolls out.

    Well first run I used my standard Bast spike team - Bast/Sig/Valk/BOdin/Minerva (Use her in last slot because I am out of team cap, would be something else if I had more room)/Bast. Went ok. Bast/Valk and BOdin are all awoken (well BOdin is one shy, but the last point is not worth it). Bast /...

    My personal favourite is 'Brawl', the warrior card that sweeps the board and leaves only one mob standing between both sides. I have yet to see it not pick the warriors minion in no less than 8 plays of the card and in every case but 2 I have had more creatures on the board. Horrible luck with...

    Viper is nice... really wish I could get one to drop myself. Though after the beating twinlits put on my spike teams, kinda wish I had a luci more. Did end up with: Venus (this will get some play) Horus (I prefer Bast so likely just window dressing) Gods of hunt, Umisachi&Yamasachi (not...

    DF was not kidding... twinlits are no joke. Ugly friggin dungeon. Did get a Tamadra on my first run through though, so there is that. Going to need to figure out a better comp though or it is going to be expensive to farm. Will post back when/if I find something more solid!

    Basically what Vorph said. Add me, I have Bast up pretty much all day every day as a good match for Leilan and have most of the other requireds if you want to go the in another direction (autohealer if you want to go resolve, resolve lead, etc), just message me in game. Add a few of the others...

    Anyone have thoughts on the new dragon? I rather like that it is a solid replacement for GOdin (as a person who does not have a GOdin....) and has a leader swap mechanic. Thinking it might make an interesting team on descends with a lot of trash at the beginning (e.g. Hera) where you could use...

    D/D Batman (or any of them for that matter) aren't that great aside from how high the probability is of getting them. D/D with a Luci or Asteroth partner gives you a solid 4/2/2 team - which while not as nice as 4/0/4, is more than enough for a number of descends that would otherwise be...

    Ahh, I did not realize that. You are correct, it was the Carnival of Likes, I was not aware there was a true distinction (in regards to drop rates that is). If there is, I recant my statement about rolling on Batman - Dark / Dark Batman is passable, but obviously getting a Luci or one of the...

    Number of abilities means substantially less in this game than in WoW or EQ. In those, more abilities generally mean more versatility in healing, but as Pyros alluded to, with a limited action set, most of those are stabled (though obviously you could swap out between encounters). Range means...

    Would definitely be interested in a guild, but I am on a pretty time intensive project at the moment and have a very limited threshold for shitty games (aka if it suck I won't think twice about just leaving and trying again in a few months) so I am not a good pick to lead it, but can help out...

    Personally I would roll on batman. I got my dark/dark (a satisfactory grind leader) in just a couple of rolls. I have rolled on every players choice godfest and had really shitty luck though to YMMV.

    Well, a resolve team is a 'short cut' team to hera. It CAN work, but you need luck and, yes, unsync'd first couple of floors (though focus firing any sync'd mobs + a stall often can get you past 2 mobs sync'd). The Resist and RK team is a safer team that takes a bit longer to build but...

    This. Add an additional monster power or two for hard modes from what was already tested in beta. Greatly reduces the chance of gaping exploits slipping through and still changes it up enough that guilds with pre-existing knowledge only have a leg half up.

    Yeah, Belial sucks to try to burst down. Found the rest of the dungeon pretty easy, but he was a beast. Used Bast/Valk/Zeus/Sig/Athena/Bast. Cost me a couple stones though, could not get past Bel but did not 16x every combo either.. I will throw up my Freyja for anyone who still needs.

    I don't really get that one (likely because I never play with free mouselook on) but I totally agree with Voldeth's comment. The combat is a lot of fun but it is definitely a system that will make tuning encounters a challenge. It would be MUCH easier for them to slip up and over/under tune...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    While I agree the questing is pretty detached, it really is just an xp injection layered over grinding (which for me is great honestly, I never read quests anyway.. not in any game) I don't agree that it is alone in that. Most games, aside from TOR, are very detached from their questing in this...

    Well the 5% do provide a carrot which is essential to the MMO sticking around. There are good precedents for challenging 5 man content that should be modeled as well -- Original Heroic Magisters Terrace was a great example. The drops complimented raid gear without replacing it. The difficulty...

    Launching with only a couple raids is fine, it makes it so the tuning does not have to be razor sharp or require lame keying grind to avoid tier skipping. It is a question of if they have others in the queue and imminently available. I am fine with only have Molten Core for the first month or...

    You most certainly can. Can't comment on end game Tera (nor end game Wildstar either obviously) but I can say that just a random pack of trash out in the world will school you if you just try to spank and tank it. Not talking elite mobs.. just a pack of 3 social 'normal' mobs. You stand still...

    Fair enough, we agree on that point at least! That said, I would compare Wildstar to WoW and GW2 but not the others you have listed there as it is, if anything at all, a hybrid of those two games. TOR failed, in no small part, because the net code was unresponsive and terrible. Rift - given...

    Don't really agree with this, but not going to break the NDA. I will ask what level you made it to in beta though, since the first couple zones are more on rails as one would expect... Also disagree with this one. WoW, despite its fall from glory, still sucks out around 6 million subscriptions...

    As has been noted it is very Vanilla Wow, much more so than Northrend/Cata Wow.

    Well to be fair on this point that would not be a launch priority.

    We haven't seen it, correct. Be we do know that GW2 had none and that 3 months ago the devs of Wildstar indicated that they had 60% of their resources dedicated to max level content.. so anything > nothing. I am expecting it to be the same as level 60 in Vanilla WoW.. it is the same team and...
