    Not 100% certain but I think it all depends on whether you use group finder to queue or not. I have run the level 15 adventure twice, once with group finder and the other time with a full group and everyone at the entrance to the adventure and manual entrance. When we used the group finder...

    In the two adventures and one dungeon I have run, the stalker players were always taking more damage than the tank and usually the first one to die. Safe to assume main problem was L2P on their part?

    Sounds like a win/win situation for everyone to me. Almost every single poster here who has said they enjoyed WoW go on to say they enjoyed the vanilla/TBC era the most. When people here started hyping Wildstar, a common comparison to vanilla/TBC WoW was made. The sentiment was if you liked...

    Which is why abilities like esper's TStorm may be better to use in PVP compared to burst abilities like Mind Burst. TStorm is a dot that will put a big red circle around the target and if it causes them to panic, then it gives you an advantage. First thing they will try to do is dash out of it...

    OK that makes sense now. I've also had happen what you describe about using CB too far out and wasting the cool down. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or if I was out of range. Wonder if the API supports an addon where the icons gray out if you are out of range?

    My general rule of thumb is that anyone who channels Utnayan and starts saying stupid shit is going to catch some flak. I apologize profusely if I hurt your feelings.

    I agree, which is why I asked jackdaddio to explain why he does that. As an Esper in light armor I want to stay as far away from a mob as possible, not creep up close to them. Besides, when he mentioned Han Solo and creep up close together, I was thinking that is a stalker tactic, not Esper.

    Why would an Esper want to creep right up to a mob before attacking? I always try to start a fight by firing off CB at max range.

    I have the setting toggled on where you can hold down a key to spam your builder. This has a positive side effect of triggering both charges of Concentrated Blade and Bolster with just one key press for each. I always fire off CB & Bolster right off the bat and by the time my builder fires off...

    Its the same kind of unbelievable comment like the one from the guy who said he got so bored with Wildstar that he couldn't make it past level 2. I'm guessing they are all big fans of Utnayan.

    Once again, what does TESO's bad decision to not have nameplates have anything to do with phasing in PVE?

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    TESO's phasing had absolutely nothing to do with the lack of meaningful PVP, the massive bot infestation, or the disapproval of the Veteran rank system, which were the main complaints with that game.

    Are you just making that up? I didn't start playing until launch day so all the head start people were well already past the starter zones. The zone (Algoroc) was still packed full of players and you saw them everywhere. For any given area there were always a significant number of players in...

    I fully understand the issue with that but consider the developer's perspective. The entire point of phasing in PVE content is to make the SINGLE player questing experience more immersive. The world changes around you based on your actions. In exchange for making the PVE content specifically...

    Well I did read your post and I play Wildstar so time for you to come to the realization MMO design doesn't revolve around your wants and desires.

    How do you know there was no foresight on the part of the developers when it comes to their design decision on how to implement phasing? I've played 3 MMOs now that have phasing and all 3 of them ( WoW, TESO and Wildstar) all handle phasing the same exact way. Anyone who has completed the...

    I'm level 20 and so far quests give the traditional reward of EXP, a level appropriate item, money, zone faction and sometimes an achievement. Losing out on the zone faction is probably the biggest impact of skipping them. One exception would be the quests that award AMPs. You probably don't...

    You are leaving out adventures, dungeons and instanced PVP. Plenty of opportunities for people to group up. Some people just don't seem to want to put any effort into being social and expect the game to force everyone to be social like EQ1 did.

    Ditto. Shooting the shit in voice chat is where it's at. I wonder how many of the people here who always focus on the negative in MMOs don't have any friends or guildmates to consistently play with? I'm playing this game with my old SWTOR guild and teaming up with guys I used to run with...

    Dumb game? You sound like someone who is worried people are going to quit whatever MMO you are playing and come play Wildstar. You are forgetting probably the #1 reason people are playing this game: it is challenging. If people quit this game it will likely be because it is too hard, not...

    I do the same exact thing but apparently like you said there is a huge RNG factor to hit the target. I checked out the forums and saw people say the same thing. With that said, I'm fairly certain that for each variant there is only one possible combination of additives that will work, but...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My question is what are the 3 additives that you need to select for each move to actually hit the target? The three I don't have are the three furthest from the center. I am using the more expensive additives to move the target the furthest distance but I keep missing by a small amount.

    You are misinformed. Limiting the player to only using 12 skills at a time when you could learn 40+ was one of the first and primary criticisms I had of TESO. It was obvious that constraint was put in place to support the console version of the game. On the official PTS forums, I even created...
