The NDA is still in effect for everyone, including for the 1-15 game minus for a select few who were invited by Carbine to stream those levels.

You're certainly giving hypothetical_investor_01 a lot of credit. Here's a more likely scenario: Lets say Brad raises 15 million and the project ends up going down in flames due to all that money getting spent on crack and hookers. The next developer, the one with a vision who would have made...

Just finished reading a recent article on the 40 man raids (link:http://www.warcry.com/news/view/1304...Raid-Mechanics) and it sounds like they're willing to scrap the idea passed the original zone if it doesn't work out. Since I'm part of the reach max level asap and get to the end game crowd...

I'm looking to purchase a new video card. I've recently purchased (and been loving) two korean monitors that were mentioned earlier, so I'm gaming in 2560 x 1440 resolution and I've noticed a bit of a slow down. Reading over the last few pages, there seemed to have been some mixed information...

I don't mind the AMP system. Anything that improves character customization is a good thing in my mind. It's also important to note that the AMP vendor shouldn't normally have them all for sale like it does now. They're meant to be earned through playing the game - which is a great idea if...

Looks like they're handing out up to 3 extra friend keys in Mid January, should see a whole lot of extra people in beta at that point.

That was kind of the point. ESPN focuses more on American coverage since that's their target audience. TSN focuses more on Canadian coverage, since that's what their viewers tend to watch/care about. Right now on ESPN, of the 12 headline stories, 1 involves a Canadian team. Of the 7 headline...

Silly TSN focusing on coverage/teams that their viewers care about. When was the last time that ESPN's NHL page didn't have either the Bruins, Rangers, or Capitals on the front page?

That was kind of the point. WoW had Warcraft 3 that had launched not very long before it's release and had an established story that allowed you to give a shit about what was going on. I have enjoyed listening to the datacubes in Wildstar and I feel that they're doing an 'ok' job with the...

Can you name a better MMO? Can you name ANY MMO that you gave a shit about the story? Even a game like SWTOR that went all in for the story, I still can't tell you much of anything that happened story wise during the game. Edit: typos

Winter Beta is the term they use to reference that permanent beta has returned (or at least tues-sun). They used to have beta 'phases' which were divided by weeks of downtime with large patches. If you have a Winter Beta key, it's a permanent key. It's plausible (although unlikely) that they...

He means that the higher level queues don't pop.

Nowhere near as bad. It also bares repeating that the reason why telegraphs are currently doing so much damage is because the devs are testing out increased mob telegraph damage and reduced mob hp. Yes you can. Absolutely every keybind can be changed. As noted above, a hot topic among players is...

Can't put enough emphasis on this. Wildstar is a quest hub game; anyone who doesn't enjoy that style of gameplay will hate the game. There are a crazy amount of quests to do - we're talking vanilla WoW + BC worth to hit max level. The exp earned doing 'other things' isn't viable to level up on...

In EQ: Anything to do with MQ2. The ability to track and target all named mobs across the zone was great (fuck keeping ranger alts camped all over the place!). In Vanguard: There was this horribly broken zone that gave you a power boost which allowed you to one shot mobs. You weren't meant to...

I envy you. I read all of the book in a single sitting, it's an amazing first time read.

This is only true if you were playing Rift as a casual who didn't care about performing well. In it's peak the Mage DPS rotation was one of the more complex/ cannot-be-macroed rotation there was. Of course if you didn't care about raiding or performing well you certainly could get away with 1...

Can't comment on rep grinds but given how every npc you kill gives rep for an area, I'd say it's a safe bet that there will be rep grinds in some form. I haven't seen any mini-pets, there are titles, droppable recipes, there are several unique mounts already, and there's a gazillion housing...

The real question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you can stomach someone else playing the healer while you not so subtly point out to him that if you were the one healing things would be going much smoother. I also think we both know the answer to that question!

I hope your interest in this thread means we can count on you playing a medic.

This is excellent news, there's no such thing as too much Locke.

They've recently adjusted telegraph damage to absolutely devastate players that stand in them. To counter balance that, they also reduced the general HP of mobs. They stated on the engineer stream that this was a balancing process and they're going to continue adjusting it. Byr is somewhat...

See, this is an example of posting something that's just plain stupid and why I can't take anything you post seriously. When you're blinded in Wildstar, you lose something like 50% accuracy as a debuff so your attacks miss - of course you can just spray attack but you might land 1 out of 5...

Not really. There are a few 'zone events' on the map (you can see this in some of the streams) that usually involve killing a boss but they're not prevalent and can't be used to level up like you could in GW2.

One of the better areas in the game is the 30-34 Dominion area, in which you go to a moon with half gravity that affects the entire map (not just a buff, it's on all the time and can't be taken off). It's fun since it changes things up but I could see how someone might find it to be a little...

They lifted the press embargo and allowed certain streamers to stream the 1-15 game. There may or may not be a post about it in beta forums that may or may not exist if you want more details. I understand what they're trying to achieve and have no problem with it however it's a little sad...

... There's constant reddit posts, Wildstar Central that has it's own developer tracker and countless other forums that they use. You can dislike the game but you're crazy if you don't think that the devs are extremely active in communicating with their playerbase.

I'm actually mildly curious whether or not it will be an advantage to level up in a group once they have all the bonuses in for those who intend to rush to max level. It's shaping up to be possible for the first time in a very long time to reach the cap without hindering yourself while grouping...

Can't wait for beta to resume. This has been the only MMO title that's looked like it can hold my attention for more than a few months in a very long time. I appreciate that they've taken the time to delay it to make sure that the game is fun. My only concern is they still haven't shown any end...

Finished this up not too long ago. The dialogue is what you come to expect from Lynch - you spend the majority of the book grinning like an idiot any time Locke & Jean are talking and it's leaps above any other fantasy writer on the market. With that being said, I had a few complaints: My...

That's going to be an argument in any game that allows for both. I for one find myself looking forward to reading the standard casual vs hardcore forum arguments that always pop up!

Certain MMOs (i.e. Rift) used focus groups to better understand 'the average gamer' in order to create a product that will be appealing to them. One of the (many) horrible design decision that results from these focus groups is hard factions. In a nutshell the argument is that without an 'us'...

Pretty much. I can't think of a reason why I'd go to Tower aside from seeing it once. We're already clearing turns 1-4 in under an hour - by November most competent 8 mans will have full sets of Allegan.

I'm a little confused how this is all going to work from a difficulty/loot perspective. Crystal tower is meant to be below Coil but I haven't heard anything about where the hard mode dungeons & 'Extreme Mode' Primal battles stand.

I know I'm going to be horribly disappointed but their awesome marketing alone has ensured a box sale from me. Now to just find enough competent people to raid with.

3 WHM & 1 BLM. BLM AE sleeps, WHMs holy spam. gg?

I don't understand why people think that the lack of content is only effecting players who have 'a LOT of hours' to play. I missed 4 days worth of playing due to connection issues and I haven't logged in very much outside of our coil runs. I finished 2 sets worth of darklight gear (I'd have only...

Yes. You get pieces of Allegan gear (ilvl 90) from coil 1,2,4 (there's no chest for 3).

There's definitely a gear check for coil 4, it's just not requiring 'full darklight' like coil 5 is. I'd argue that coil 4 would require 15-25 AK runs (depending on your luck with accessories from the AK chest). That shit wouldn't fly for coil 5 though.

http://www.twitch.tv/voldeth/c/2940777 50 second video to highlight the 'gear check' that is coil 5. Notice that we stack up on the first AE and everyone *BARELY* survives it? The second AE that we stack up for Sutekh dies (he is missing a few darklight pieces). If we have an...
