Have about half a dozen friend keys left, was someone keeping track of the list of people who still needed so that I can just base it on most reputable poster?

The latest batch of friend keys to those who qualified are being sent tomorrow morning (Tuesday, January 14th) at 9AM PST. With this batch, we noticed a number of people opted-out of receiving emails from NCSOFT and WildStar. If you did not receive your friend keys and you're sure your...

I'm really curious to see who ends up being the best healing class in Wildstar. Espers are currently the top based on the fact that their heals are just more potent than the other two but I don't see that advantage lasting all the way at level 50. I mean, medics are the only healers capable of...

This. It would be akin to saying that Kaladim is the tutorial zone and butcherblock is the second tutorial zone for dwarfs in EQ. I.E. no one uses that kind of reference or thinks of it that way. Poster was just trying to highlight that Wildstar takes awhile to get into. Edit: Reference is...

Agreed with Kunitz. My understanding of the situation is that Crosby's style of play is extremely difficult for a winger to compliment consequently Team Canada brought him in after he showed that he was 'olympic quality'. I don't really agree with it but I can see the logic. The defense is...

Since people here keep talking about flex raids and their hatred of 40 man raids I figured I'd drag out a quote from a Wildstar dev taken from:http://wildstar-central.com/index.ph...-3#post-152110 "I wasn't trolling. The joke is that you guys seem to think we don't know that 40-mans are...

I'm hoping this means you've come to terms with being my healer. Cinge can be our DPS medic in that case. :P

You won't find an exact quote from Carbine but here are some links that are somewhat reliable to give you an idea of where the dates are coming from: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08...14-release-wi/ http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08...ldstar-launch/ Basically, NCsoft originally...

I don't necessarily disagree with this however Draegan nailed it when he said there needs to be some way to respec/change. I just don't feel that the respec should be easy to do like it's current implementation in MMOs. In EQ, you could realistically have invested quite a bit in your character...

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...
