Engi chat:

It definitely takes a bit to get going, but once you start getting better ways to keep volitility up you just start making GBS threads out a million ticks of damage from different fields and abilities and it gets pretty good. I enjoy it more than Stalker right now (but my stalker is still lower leveled, and I changed all my keybindings so it is especially awkward right now.)

Anyone have any input on the Esper? I've played most of the classes to 15-20 range, but I can't get past Esper's lack of mobility on their base attack.

Is there a setting so the character attacks toward where the camera is facing? Or at least toward whichever mob is targetted?

I think somewhere there is a "face target" setting, possibly under combat options.

When you click the mission for the quest arrow, it sends you to a circle of about 50m around where they want you to put the flag. Then you click the > arrow to expand the mission and you'll get a bar, similar to when you're on Scavenger Hunts, and when you get within like, 5m of the flag location, a button shows up for you to click.

They get another psi point builder that can be used while moving at level 11, don't they?

Start at max range, pop two Concentrated Blades, wait a sec, Telekinetic Strike twice, Bolster on self, Mind Burst. Congratulations, you've killed a pack! Espers get a mobile builder with Spectral Frenzy at 11 or 15 I believe, but it's sort of clunky to use.

Make a Circle instead, you don't get the fancy perks like banks and cheevos and poo poo but you still get a custom channel and a list of who's online.

Engineer thoughts:

Once I stopped using builder -> consumer, builder -> consumer and started using Energy Augur and Bio Shell along with AMPs and my innate to generate volatility and then consume...the class became infinitely more interesting and fun.
Yeah, I dumped Pulse Blast, then lately my fights have been: Send pet, wait for mobs to converge, Barrage, Bio Shell, Unstable Anomaly, Energy Auger, and sprinkle in Electrocutes, Blitz and Quick Burst when they make sense.

Then I tried an Esper to join the open beta crew so I'm learning it all over again.

I also submitted a support ticket because I couldn't upgrade my Wildstar game to Deluxe and wanted to know if, having bought a code on GMG meant I'm entirely ineligible for any pre-order stuff, or if maybe the problem was having an NA game on an account with a EU IP address.
I may have understood it wrong, but I thought that Deluxe bonuses are independent of preorder bonuses. And if it's like other games' Deluxe editions you can just get that upgrade whenever and voila you get the extra poo poo.

I don't know where the rumor started that you don't get any bonuses for buying from GMG, that would be pretty nonsensical. Also I would be right along with you yelling because I got it there on sale.

If I'm going to do stalker, it will be with a Mechari or whatever the zombie people are called.

Also is there a way to get rid of that stupid "invalid faction" error when trying to cast something? Comes from targeting a widget or friendly or whatever, but I've gotten into trouble or winding up dying way too many times as a result this than I should have :saddowns:

I did a reloadui from the addons menu (you can't type /reloadui when the chat frame is gone) but that didn't fix it.

Cleared out the config files but still stuck around 25-30 fps on high settings, on my AMD FX-8320, Radeon R9 290, latest WHQL drivers.


I'm running on a system very close to this (FX-8350, R9 280x) and I get a solid 60-90 FPS on Ultra High even before clearing the config while out in the world, 30-40 while in Illium. How much RAM are you running? It shouldn't make that much of a difference but I find it hard to believe you wouldn't be able to get the same performance as I do with your rig.

If I go to the Wildstar store and click on the option to buy the deluxe edition for 15 bucks (because I already own the base game) it tells me there is nothing eligible on my account to put the deluxe stuff on. Which isn't true.

That's what made me wonder if having bought a GMG code just means I'm not on their pre-order feature list either, since their website can't even tell I own the loving game.

I literally only made a support ticket to ask for clarification on this. "Hey guys, your store is still trying to sell me the full game and telling me I have nothing eligible to simply upgrade to deluxe, so I'm curious if this is a bug and whether this affects other pre-order stuff like the headstart? Here's my serial and a screenshot of the confirmation mail you sent me after I entered the GMG serial."

"Remember you have to own the game, here's a link to the store!!"

...thanks, Carbine support.

You had to put in subscription info, right? I'm going to guess they just give the poo poo out to anyone who shows as subscribed on a certain date. But if they screw it up somehow they're gonna be flooded with tickets come June. Keep pushing the ticket about your problem with Deluxe back to them but don't worry about the preorder poo poo until that drops. At least that's what I would do, eventually you've got to get someone who speaks English.

Is the Engineer viable without bots? I've been dicking around with various classes and only have level <10 knowledge of all of them.

Engineer seems really fun - good AOE builder, high DPS spender, lovely bot that is way too slow to be useful

Esper - ugh, have to stand still a lot for the builder.

Stalker - fun rogue-y stuff, high DPS

Warrior - bit weird, animations feel a little 'off'

Spellslinger - slightly more mobile than the Esper but still a bit annoyingly static

Medic - didn't try it

You have heavy armor, so questing without the bots should be possible if I had to guess. From what little I've read almost everyone at least uses the Artillery though because the damage is so good.

Also on the Esper I got like two other builders already that let you move, though they have cooldowns, and I haven't even hit level 10 yet. My guess is you can take the stationary bits out entirely eventually, though someone who's played it further would have to comment.

It might be that you have a US code and are trying to buy the deluxe upgrade from Europe (or any territory where the NC shop sells European codes), or vice versa. In general you can't apply EU codes to US accounts or the other way around.

If that's not it then I don't know. :shobon:

Knew nothing about this game until I got the email for open beta, really enjoying it, considering buying it. A few questions

It seems like people think this game has decent endgame stuff. That true?

What level can I start doing Adventures/Dungeons? I'm only 10 so far.

I thought I heard someone saying that there's a site selling pre-orders for this game with a 20% off coupon or something? I would enjoy paying less money.

It seemed that the only reason to use bots was for their actives but they didn't need much micro. Getting the Bruiser bot is worth it early on just for the two interupts though.

Installing this now to give it a try, haven't really been following it closely but the chance to be an insane gremlin scientist or space robot with more active combat than the typical MMO tab targeting, and all set in some weird slapstick space motif seems pretty cool.

Still have no idea what class(es) to try. Engineer sounds neat if only for the bot pets...

So as a player that likes to take my time and explore/see everything in a new game, two quick questions:

1) Are the open beta characters going to be wiped at the end, or is it just a matter or upgrading to retail and picking up where you left off?

and

2) Can you outright 'out-level' stuff and be unable to go back and do it later? I've played other MMOs that would just lock you out of quests and whatever else if you were too high for them, which ended up feeling like I was being 'punished' for wanting to explore instead of simply rushing along the leveling treadmill.
