Responsible adults remember this sort of thing and trust the company more in the future. Children (of all ages) remember that they TOTALLY ADMITTED IT OMFG and use it as ammunition in their next round of attacks.

At least it serves as a good tool for filtering out the idiots you don't really want to play with.  Edit: vvvvv I'm pretty sure they know that - I thought it was pretty much considered a universal truth that it's nearly always a small but loud minority that makes a fuzz over minor stuff like that?

I wonder how much fodder the gamers.txt thread has gotten from this game alone. And it's only going to get better at launch if/when the servers break under the load of their unwashed cheeto dusted bulk. All I can really hope is that the community team realizes that it's a small minority of people who say poo poo like that, and most of the rest of us just think "okay" and keep playing because it's really not that big of a deal, but we still make note that they're willing to make amends over things that go wrong. That sort of thing goes a long way in building up trust.

I was searching for a compiled list of titles last night and stumbled upon a thread in one of the fan-sites titled, "Carbine has lost $20k + $4500/month". I was going to paraphrase, but maybe I should just quote for the giggles: quote:So my guild of 300+ discussed how we felt about the name reservation fiasco and took a simple straw poll. Many of us were in TS hours before the first reservation period and for the second period. We took off work, hung out near hot spots, rearranged schedules to pick up kids from school or the day care to be available for the name reservation periods. quote:Throwing some ingame goodies at us or giving a month of free sub does not even remotely compensate for the time lost and the absolute frustration many have experienced. In some cases over 12+ hours were spent trying to get the system to accept a name request. Our decision is that if this is not rectified in such a way that all are given equal opportunity to reserve names then we will be issuing chargebacks on our credit cards And, my favorite part of the post: quote:This is not players crying because someone beat them in a race to grab a name. Please, tell us more.

How is this not people crying about losing a name grab?

Soothing Vapors posted:Carbine handled this really poorly but the amount of forums rage has more than made up for it I think there's two sides to this - the technical side of it was handled as you say, quite poorly, whereas the social side of it has been handled quite nicely instead. Really seems to be a constant with mmo-related servers and whatnot getting way more traffic than the devs anticipate, though. And yeah, the manchildren crying on the official forums are just... Edit: vvvv I'm *so* waiting for some manchild on the official forums to make that comparison unironically.

AFAIK, but I'm not 100% certain about it, I think you can get them from doing end-game activities (not restricted to raiding.). At least I *think* I've read that somewhere.

They haven't really said how they give out Boom Boxes in the future but I would probably guess something like the SHIFT keys where they just hand them out on Twitter and poo poo. They seem like something designed to be given out without much thought or consequence. CrashCat fucked around with this message at 20:10 on May 15, 2014 |

Heres some nVidia drivers with a wildstar profile, gave me a pretty decent performance boost: 64-bit http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/337.81/337.81-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-beta.exe 32-bit http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/337.81/337.81-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-32bit-international-beta.exe Win 7/Win 8 These are beta so dont expect 100% stability.

There have been plenty of people already on their forums who got the wrong key and ended up getting moved to EU realms when Open Beta started. If you asked nicely you could probably get your EU account switched to US but you're gonna have to get lucky on the support ticket. From what I've been seeing they mostly just ignore your  and send you a copy-paste FAQ until you badger them enough.

Dear Mr. Goons, I need advice on what class to play on release. Due to a disability, my key-spamming abilities are limited. Which classes in this game are the most forgiving in terms of DPS rotation, the most face-roll if you will? Preferably, a heavy cooldown based class. For example, WoW's Arms warrior, where I can macro/autohotkey 3 abilities (Mortal Strike, Overpower, Colossus Smash) into a single button to smash. So the less buttons to push regularly, the better. Also preferably not any classes with many held-down-buttons channeling abilities.

If you bring a friend along to keep the damage focus you could go with some other class for going around questing, but regardless you won't want to be doing big dungeon bosses if you can't reliably maneuver around the damage zones.

Playing a Stalker and I find that the vast majority of claws I find have huge amounts of Support Damage on them which says it effects "Support and Utility" skills. Is there any way to clarify what this means? I feel like as a Stalker I want NOTHING but Assault Damage.
