Yeah, when the goon presence in a game ends up being chill, then you get the best of both worlds. Too bad it doesn't always shake out that way.

See, the weird thing is, I played the gently caress out of GW2. Then I hit level 80, and there wasn't anything to do. So these crazy rear end raids in WildStar look good - I didn't quite like raids in WoW so much because as a DPS, it wasn't very involving.

GW2 had engaging gameplay, but when your endgame is "grind for currency to buy cosmetic items" it's just... no. Not fun.

Yeah, the idea behind Guild Wars 2 is you're always playing the end-game, because the entire game is the end-game. Unfortunately that translated into all of the content falling flat and it wasn't helped by the boring and limiting action set.

The cool thing about Wildstar is that it's releasing with substantial end-game content for a variety of different players. There are multiple release BGs, including rated BGs, Arenas and Warplots for PvP players. There are Veteran dungeons which scale up and include additional content over their normal versions and a substantial amount of raid content with more in the works. There is even a max level daily zone for those who just haven't had enough of dailies. There is plenty to do and it's largely well-polished, especially for a release MMO.

Try forcing the client to run DX9 or DX11, this solved those issues for me when it happened earlier in beta. Adding " -dx11" to the end of the target string in your shortcut will force DX11.

Speaking of such, just want to give a head's up to any Lowca SWG Goons. I'm pretty sure a few of us are going to be on - though I haven't seen if joshie is. Been hoping Foglera and Glug will show up. Anyways, there should be quite a large range of players on this one. Haven't seen as many since SWTOR crashed/released.

That's why you don't stay up. Go to bed a bit earlier and set your alarm for 2:55am, or if you have your name locked down, wake up an hour after launch at 4, after the worst of the rush is over. You will either hop right on and get to play all day, or discover that the login servers have predictably crashed, and wouldn't have missed a single minute.

I reset my password for my ncsoft account, and now wildstar won't let me log in with it to buy their game, so it's all in gods hands now man. All in gods hands.

edit: wtf man.
Has me verify my account for the fifth time, wants me to update my display name, and after doing so.. kicks me out. I go back through and now that name is unavailable (because I AM USING IT..).. and then the site is not letting me log in again. poo poo is bonko.

The new interface for that is hosed up and tends to create a new line when you paste. Hit backspace once or twice and the race and gender of the code should pop up.

I have no problem with the race/gender thing showing up, it just will not let me hit update to then bring that character up. I don't know exactly what I am missing here and just wanna make sure I got this correct for when launch happens.

Here's what I had to do - I had an "NC Soft Master Account" which went sideways and kablooey. I also had a "NC Account" which autograbbed my old Lineage II beta account (why? No idea) and that one I was able to verify. I used this link:

which I set up with my primary id being my email address. Later in the setup, I gave it a name to use. When I tried to do the "NC Soft Master Account" bullshit, I started with my "account name" and it was all hosed up that way.

Waking up two hours early for an MMO launch is not much of an effort. You do it once every 12-18 months. If you were going to sit and play an MMO for most of the day on Saturday, you might as well get some sleep before hand rather than try and pull an all-nighter.

Make sure that the race/gender in the character creator matches the code you're trying to use. For example, if you try to use a Chua code while creating a Mechari it doesn't let you update.

Oh goddamn that is exactly it I am sure, I just was using whatever the creator started with(which was an exile character I think). Oh well good to know now.
