    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    You think all of us are stupid? Class customization and class abilities are available to be seen as soon as you log in via your skill page. All of the skills are just variations of skills in every other game and I think people are smart enough to get an idea of what to expect. Wildstar isn't...

    Are you going to be the resident fanboy? The majority of people on these forums can tell a lot about an MMORPG in the first 10 minutes that they don't need to spend a few hours to hit level 10.

    I think a Tier 2 system would be better than Kha's system just because you get a pretty significant power boost for only 1k gold. Has anyone played around with Red Augment in a support role? Can you ramp up AP bot lane fast enough that it makes a difference?

    I've written out dev theory shit for something like this. If you want to go completely away from action combat and go full auto + situational there is an interesting way to do things that extremely similar to writing a Rift macro or a combat sequence in FF10? 9? Essentially you have whatever...

    That's because most MMO combat systems are shit. The biggest offender is Wildstar's attempt at "action and meaningful combat". It's dreadful.

    I'd prefer less spammy combat, no matter what that means. So if I'm firing off 2-3 button sequences every 5-10 seconds that makes me happy. I don't want to do 1234343234323 rotations ever again, fuck that stupid shit.

    DCUO's combat was amazing. A close second to TERA in my opinion. We don't really know anything about EQNext because who know what will change when the actual game is ready. Wildstar has no autoattack, but they make you simulate autoattack by pressing the 1 key a million times in a fight so...

    I would advocate for a game with no autoattacks, but a series of abilities that synergize with each other that you use in specific situations. This way you can spend more time playing the game, moving around and less time mashing keys. Need threat? Hit your 1-2-3 combo. Need to defend hit...

    Yeah, I thought GW2 was just a bit on the high end. 5 Weapon abilities Swap button 5 Weapon abilities 3 Utility buttons 1 Healing button 1-4 Class buttons. Even though you only had 5 weapon abilities, you could swap which meant you managed 10 skill buttons. Anyway, it cam out to be like...

    Stalker is the only class that is worth playing because it's the least shittiest. Esper is also a really good class to play too if you want to play a spell caster.

    For me, 12 is about twice as much as you need. I think you really only need about 4-6 ability slots. Maybe an additional slot or two for longer cooldown situational abilities. Then toss in clickies. Then create a decent mechanic or resource system so all your abilities don't run off...

    I'd prefer a fixed amount of slots. But now I'm nostalgic for Sojourn's spell system with circle slots that you can mem spells into.

    You won't get the right criticism from people who donate. What'll happen is you'll have an arbitrary forum set up somewhere where only the hardcore of the hardcore go to post on a daily basis and any time someone thinks of disagreeing with a design point, they'll go fanboy crazy on the descenter.

    There are plenty of ways to do things easily enough. Flag abilities as combat and non combat and set aside UI space for both. Utility based spells can be placed in an unlimited space while combat spells are limited to some fashion. I love deck building mechanics and the strategy of prepping for...

    All you do with this is create an echo chamber. If you truly want an interesting conversation about game features, you need people who disagree vehemently so you always have perspective. This thread does that real well I think.

    I've been an advocate for moving as far away from the current world design theory where you have 5x newbie 1-10 zones, 4x newbie 10-20 zones, 3x 20-30 zones, 3x 30-40 zones, and then 2x 40-50 zones and 1x 50 zone. Build a world and then populate it with POIs or areas that are dedicated to...

    I'm all about customization and making myself either different or finding the new flavor of the month before it's the flavor of the month. You don't need to have multiclassing to do this, and I like the idea of a game giving players hard roles to have and accept. Thoughts on the trend of...

    I played Yasuo in a normal last night against a Riven and shit all over her. Granted, the skill level wasn't there, but Yasuo is great in lane against her. Just go in whenever your shield is up, force her to pot. Then once her pots are gone, chunk her then go all in. I easily won the laning...

    Overall, there is a 41.77% to 55.11% variance between the highest winner (Ziggs) to the lowest (Urgot) which includes everyone playing everywhere. If you take off the top 5 and bottom 5, the variance becomes 52.95% to 45.26%. So almost everyone is within 5%. -- Played a bunch of Viktor...

    I'm not disagree that it can be a great combo in specific situations, but overall, I think the utility of extra W range or extra damage on E is much more useful throughout the whole game. I'll have to try it. Might be a decent addition to avoid ganks, or set up a bruiser kind of mage build with...

    The only thing on the augmented Q is 30% movement speed that is really useful for him. The 6hp5 is useless. I just don't see where having 30% mvoement speed for 3s every 5s is making up for range on your W + mana regen and CDR or extra AP and damage on your E. It's not cost effective at all...

    It's just like an other quest based MMORPG. It's more fun with friends. There's nothing new with that line of thinking. Playing the game itself will be just like playing WOW Vanilla/TBC all by yourself.

    Which is why that skin is the best skin. Annie has better CC because it's pretty easy to keep track of when you're stun is up. You have a pretty noticeable buff icon and you also have a visual swirly on your character. Also the AOE stun from Tibers is crazy and instant every 60 secs minus...

    Which is probably why people don't use him at all. Annie's is instant and so much easier to hit and control. Annie is so much better in almost every regard. The only thing Viktor has over annie is his long distance poke with his E. It's extended ranged is like 1k+ or something.
