    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...

    Scott Lynch (Gentlemen Bastards)

    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!

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    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.

    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).
  17. Voldeth

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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.

    There are only two real gear checks in this game: Coil 4 (which requires you to have ran AK a few times and have some drops from there) and Coil 5 (which requires you to have near full DL+ to survive). I've enjoyed Coil quite a bit and hope that we continue to work on Coil 5. I'm also hopeful...

    I think that this is something that most people are missing / not adapting to. This game has the worst server to client response time I've ever seen --- I'm quite literally located <30 minutes from where the servers are and some of the shit that happens is just laughable. I can start casting an...

    Error 90000 within 20 minutes of every time I log in for the past two days. Browsing some forums it seems like it's an error affecting a lot less people so I doubt it'll get fixed anytime soon.

    I managed to get just shy of 40 before the servers were brought down for maintenance. I've been immensely frustrated with the server stability, missing about 4-5 hours of game time each day stuck on the many errors. Fate's have definitely been the most efficient way for me to level but they're...

    # of games played would be the determining factor. In this instance, Krejci has 9 goals in 19 games where as Sharp has 9 goals in 20 games.

    Post was a good read. The only real issue is whether or not they can actually deliver on what it is they're saying.

    Neverwinter: PC

    I'd bet on it being a rumor. I've ran all the epics up to the 8800 GS requirement ones and haven't seen one drop (or heard from anyone reliable that one did for them). It's also correct that every box gives 100 of some form of currency (don't remember which since servers are down) - I don't...

    Neverwinter: PC

    One key gives you the ability to open one box. There are about 10 possible rewards from the boxes, most of which are garbage. So $1.25 gives you a very small chance at the mount.

    I've actually been enjoying this a lot more then I thought I would. Leveled a DC to 60 and been running the epic dungeons. I end up at the top of the healing, damage taken, and middle of the damage done charts. I despise grouping with Great Weapon Fighters since they just love to mash knockbacks...
