I honestly don't expect launch to be any worse than the more recent stress test weekends, which had the occasional world crash and 30 minute downtimes. I very much doubt it will be as bad as the early ones, that's for sure. Zone overcrowding, that's what worries me

Also, everybody remember come head start time, you get Renown currency by just being in a party, whether you're doing stuff together or not. So everybody party up all the time.

There is a good chance you will spend a lot of time queued up or barely able to do much due to fighting for mob/item spawns, lag and the like. Do what I did. Have your spouse/significant other invite family over for a week!

That sounds like a pretty blatant exploit, so it probably won't last long, if it hasn't been patched out already for launch.

The renown thing shouldn't work anymore. To whoever mentioned about the leveling speed, poopsocker-tier leveling 1-50 takes about 25 hours, and is done entirely with questing and nothing else. v: they have been for a while, and still are working on it a cat on an apple fucked around with this message at 16:59 on May 28, 2014 |

Any idea if they put in random elites (or whatever they call their harder mobs) into the newbie zones? It's always interesting to have a harder fight versus the usual newbie mobs.

I don't know if there are any on the starter ship in the "training" areas, however, I know for sure they are in the level 5ish starting areas post ship. Def seen some lvl 5 primes with the 2 and with the 5 indicating built for 2 players, and built for five players of that level respectively.

Hmmm... WildStar just put up a realm list. Looks like Pergo is still N.A. PvP, but Toria is E.U. RP-PvE. So, that's different. Exiles on Evindra, then?

Thanks cat on an apple for the awesome tradeskills writeup in the OP. I was one of the big goon architects in SWG and had fun making stuff for goon housing, so I really wanted to go Architect at launch. It looks like it might be pretty annoying due to the mats spread though. Has anyone tried architect out in beta? Any fun? Guess it comes down to how much demand there will be for housing items.

Thanks! I've actually done a couple more write-ups on the off-site forum, one with a little bit more detail about the Tradeskill dependencies, and another one for reference with Weaponsmith. Personally I think Architect is going to be the Tradeskill with the most longevity. At least up to the Journeyman tier, Tradeskills are pretty easy to level up (you're generally looking at around 100 of the relevant primary Mining/Survivalist/Relic Hunter resource per tier i.e. 100 Iron Chunks will probably get you from Novice to Apprentice Weaponsmith). Weaponsmith is going to be pretty important at first because Crafted Weapons are the best aside from super rare Dungeon stuff. The Armour Tradeskills will be important later as more people near cap, because that will be the best armour you can get outside of Raid gear and maybe some of the later Vet. Dungeons you do for Attunements. As we progress past that point, they start to become less and less relevant to the economy. Architect, however: people will always want vanity items, especially considering the amount of cool stuff you can do with housing. A lot of stuff you make easily in Architect are otherwise super rare drops, if they aren't unique to Tradeskills to begin with.

Will this games PVP / Group Finder be cross-server like WoW's? I kind of hope not, I liked how "personal" it was in WoW when it was just your server; you got to actually know people in battlegrounds and have rivalries. It was fun.

I've spent half of the last week trying to cobble this together for the Exile goons in between work and then some magnificent bastard of a goon goes and gets it functional and useful. Now I'll have to enjoy the launch with a fully functional SA addon. Woe is me. Looks loving great; I can't wait to pull it apart and look to see if we had different approaches to the problem. The emote cheat sheet window wasn't even on my prospective feature list.

So my brother has convinced me that this is gonna be awesome. I'm hoping to go full-on healer Medic, since it's usually my favorite MMO role. Will that make leveling solo an exercise in mind-shattering tedium or what? I mean I can go DPS and respec at level cap, but how will all that blood wash off my robo-hands? Also, is the standard "pick a crafting skill that can craft something you can use, pick a gathering skill that can collect mats for your crafting skill" optimal? I'm authed on the forums and I've been reading threads and stuff, but not being in the beta makes me feel kind of behind. DAD LOST MY IPOD fucked around with this message at 19:32 on May 28, 2014 |

There isn't any real group content until level 15, which is also when you get your second spec. Use that for your healing build.

All the way up to Level 50, the only thing that really matters separating you from being a Healer role or a DPS role is your weapon. Just keep one of each type on-hand and you'll be absolutely fine. At Level 15, you get a second AMP system, so you can use all of your AMPs for DPS at first without issue. Since you're authed on the off-site, read this thread, which should answer most of your questions about the crafting thing. If you want more in-depth information, or have other questions, about pretty much anything Tradeskills, either post in that thread or ding me (Katten) on irc.synirc.net #wildstar and I'll get back to you pretty quickly.
