BadLlama posted:Also did they ever fix tank abilities being pointless because even with the threat modifiers they still generated less threat than regular assault abilities? Yes, a while back. Though threat is not like WoW where it's pretty much impossible for DPSers to out pace the tank's aggro, so DPSers will still need to hold back a bit.

Pretty sure he's talking about World of Warcraft, in which druids can tank, heal, ranged dps and melee dps and is the only class with four possible specs. On-topic, has there been any indication that the servers may be up at any time before friday? or was Ops week literally a week?

And there's a reason why most newer MMOs don't have any classes that can be specced for every role. If you really want a character that can do everything then WildStar is not going to fill that need.

Will there be a way to have multiple specs saved on a character? Something like how in Rift each character could have up to 5 (or maybe six) specs that could be changed out in the field as long as you were out of combat? If not, how much do Amps affect your spec? For example, if I was an Engineer, could I reliably tank a dungeon in a solo assault spec without being massively over leveled?

Two additional specs after that are purchasable at level 50

In addition to this, is it possible to have sets of armor/gear saved so you don't have to manually change everything around when swapping from DPS mode to Tank/Heal mode?

This is not necessarily that bad a thing. You can simply roll with your tanking or healing gear and switch action sets when you want to solo. Doing random questing stuff in non-DPS gear should be workable even at level cap.

Costumes are a different thing from equipment sets. Costumes are purely cosmetic and are worn over your equipment (which is where the actual stats come from). The costume switching function was moved to an NPC (Personal Stylist?).

hit button posted:/eval Apollo.SetConsoleVariable("player.turningSpeedMouse", 1) /eval Apollo.SetConsoleVariable("camera.FovY", 75) was essential to my beta playing. The default is insanley low to the point that I felt I couldn't see enough around my character while zoomed in a bit. With the default FoV being so close I could hardly see the skybox in the distance most of the time. 75=whatever number you want to use for your Field of Vision. I'm assuming they will have a slider by launch in the options, but if not there ya go.
