Definitely planning on forming a guild for this with some of the board posters. Will post more details once NDA drops to avoid the potential bad (for anyone interested).

The bad of Wildstar: - The leveling is dull and uninspired. No one likes quest hubs anymore and this game has a crazy amount. - The game is extremely buggy. I haven't seen anyone talk about this much but for a studio that has so many WoW devs, I feel like it lacks polish. - Most classes are...

"I think we have to know what we're taking with Bobby," said Burke, who was the Anaheim Ducks' general manager when they drafted and developed Ryan. "He's a passive guy. He is not intense. That word is not in his vocabulary. It's never going to be in his vocabulary. He can't spell intense."...

I think that in a situation like this, there's bound to be a few surprises/upsets. My big issue with the team is that they didn't seem to focus or care much in reference to the ice surface when selecting the players. Keep in mind it's been decades since either the US or Canada won on the larger...

I put Yandle ahead of Martin, Faulk, & Orpik. I'd also try to squeeze in Byfuglien. Team USA has no depth at center (Kesler is penciled in as the #1 there), having mobile defensemen that can move the puck out fast is going to be key for the US, especially on the large ice. I think the defense...

No to both. That roster really has some head scratchers, especially on D.

Nice goal to tie it given the ice conditions, happy to see the crowd really getting into the game now.

Detroit deserves to win based on the first two periods but Bernier has kept Toronto in it. Should be a fun third.

Anyone else watching the winter classic? With all the snow falling there isn't a whole lot of offense but it's still a pretty entertaining game.

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!
