Gonna prolly break a finger though. You can change settings to activate your abilities on keypress instead of keyrelease and I find it much more responsive, especially once you learn your class's telegraphs. There is also an addon called Steer that allows you to lock mouselook FPS style and really works well in the action combat setting.

glug posted:I haven't seen details on stats, racial differences, and actual crafting stuff yet. Digging into that more. I'm sure resource uniqueness and end-component stat uniqueness like SWG is wishful thinking, but it sounds like crafting is at least weird to do instead of just a click. There are no racial differences beyond appearance. What sort of stat details were you looking for?

Gonna prolly break a finger though. If you've played other MMOs holding down the RMB while moving will probably feel pretty similar. If you haven't it'll be awkward at first, it was for me at least. But I eventually got used to it. One thing you might want to look at is an addon called Steer, it basically locks your RMB to 'on' so that you don't have to constantly hold it down (so the camera works a little more like a shooter game where you just swivel the mouse to move it), and has some options as to how you toggle it on and off and other things.

Windchilla posted:With regard to PvP? The current state of Stalker has them on the lower-end of effectiveness in Arenas. In Battlegrounds they are very effective at some roles, especially mask running/stealing on Temple and general disruption in Halls. The issue with Stalker right now is they have seen both their burst and sustained damage reduced in a number of patches leading to release. These balances were largely PvE oriented, but they have a major effect on PvP. This coupled with the recent change to T4+ Preperation, namely making it break your stealth on cast, put them into a spot where they don't really excel at any one role, but can fill most of them only adequately. How's the PvE side of things?

Pesterchum posted:There are no racial differences beyond appearance. What sort of stat details were you looking for? Well that's much of it right there. As long as a class is available to a race, the race you choose doesn't matter. I figured there'd be the old D&D style racial stat bonus' that gave an incentive for choosing particular classes with your race. CLAMBO! posted:Is there a code for a discount that I can use? http://www.gamebreaker.tv/games/wildstar-mmorpg/wildstar-pre-order-deal-9/ That had a 20% code for greenmangaming, and it worked for me a couple of hours ago.

Tankwise, Engineer are the best and stalkers are great in other situations, warriors fall behind in all situations. That said patches come along and screw things up.

They said somewhere that time limitations for all the animations were the reason all classes weren't available to all races. I don't know if that means they'll expand it down the road or not, though.

Doublestep posted:How's the PvE side of things? As of the last available build they were still parsing slightly ahead in single-target PvE fights. They fall behind in cleave/AoE situations, mostly because the mechanic Neutralize uses isn't conductive toward sustained damage. They lack a 2xIA break interrupt, which is unfortunate since there are raid encounters that require a lot of IA breaking, but other classes can compensate. They don't bring any real raid buffs, debuffs or utility that are unique to the class yet. They're completely viable to both Tank and DPS Vet Dungeons and Raid content. I haven't personally tanked in a raid setting, but I have tanked Vet Dungeons on a Stalker and they were pretty smooth. My major gripe with the class outside of lack of utility is that the stealth mechanic feels clunky when tanking.

Republicanus posted:Excellent! Lenore should be playing too. Dunno about many others. I'll try to coordinate and get on mumble with you guys so we can bounce around. It is true. Because I have had my fill of world pvp but still want to play the pointlessly evil faction, I'm rolling Dominion pve (likely on the same RP server as the Exile pve guild). The guild name might still be up for discussion, but I'm really hoping for <Goon is a Harsh Mistress>. As far as the crafting goes, Glug  , I dabbled in architecture some and my general impression was swg meets eq2 -unique item stats +experimentation meets mini-game. There is some level of money-sink built into the crafting itself. Each individual recipe has multiple outcomes depending on what vendor materials from the list you add. You don't have to purchase the vendor mats to clog up your inventory as you go, it is built into the crafting interface which calculates the cost of using selected additives and subtracts from your currency when you create the item.

One server was up earlier as part of the 'ops week' stuff, but the launcher doesn't always show when they are up. I know I've seen it claim 'realms down' but I would click the play button and presto servers up. Not sure if we should expect them to come up tomorrow though, Carbine is probably doing final crunch prep for the character wipe and launch.

Dr Snofeld posted:Well apart from enjoying it from time to time, people who take RP in an MMO super seriously can be fun to observe. I played on WoW's Argent Dawn server, which is the EU equivalent of Moon Guard, and you couldn't move without tripping over another Game of Thrones inspired NOBLE HOUSE SUPER SERIOUS guild that doesn't mesh with the setting at all. I'm kind of curious to see what the Wildstar equivalent will be. Dominion is of course rife with noble highborn Cassians of various houses, even though the Devs said there are no houses a la Game of Thrones.  Mordesh fill that role Exile side, with the addition of ANGST.

Its one of the easiest guild concepts to think up of and work with. Everyone wants to be involved in the inner workings of a kingdom to some degree - it gives a sense of importance and value to your characters. And its easy to think up of plots that work off that.

Everyone wants to be involved in the inner workings of a kingdom to some degree - it gives a sense of importance and value to your characters. And its easy to think up of plots that work off that. The main point is though that people feel the desperate need to be roleplaying things from other games/books/series, or stuff that just doesn't fit into the setting at all. UO had a lot of people like this. For every Catskills Orc group there were three thousand drow. Or even groups that did pretty good roleplay - like the GRD on Europa - that still didn't fit in the setting. They forced you to wear ringmail and use a halberd in a sort of medieval themed way and wouldn't let anyone cast spells. It worked, but again it wasn't at all fitting with Ultima itself. That's what I hated about MMOG roleplaying. If you're doing it in a D&D game the person needs the consent of everyone else there to do something whacky and even then it tends to be in-universe whacky. In an MMOG you're free to be whatever the gently caress stupid thing you want. We had the "European Role Playing Association" on Europa and I'm pretty sure a good half of the people in it were pretending to be Drow.

I thought few days ago the SA wildstar threads were a massive dramafest till I checked few youtube videos and saw those ignorant comments about some famous dude playing the game how the game is "wow clone" Then after getting brain tumor after that I was bored and had a lightbulb sticking out of my head "Let's check the official Wildstar forums" Then I read a thread about optimization and well the brain tumor I have now is probably gonna kill me before the headstart. Fanboys are the worst piece of poo poo any community ever has seen cause they bring that drama and ignorance to such a new level you haven't ever experienced before. So after venting this poo poo on this thread you guys are awesome for not being like the rest of the hell I just recently experience. Nexal fucked around with this message at 03:45 on May 30, 2014 |

Wildstar is pretty tame, even if it does occasionally have a 'LET US OPT OUT OF THE 2% BONUS XP, YOU'RE STEALING THE GAME FROM ME BY LETTING ME COMPLETE IT FASTER' thread pop up.

Not when they're the majority. I guess ERPA forced us to have them along for some things but as I said, GRD were really good and properly stuck to all their rules. The only problem was their rules had nothing to do with Ultima. Every time I ever saw anyone RPing in any other MMOG it was the same as it was back in UO.

It's when you're roleplaying being a space marine in a fantasy world that it goes off the rails and becomes just another sort of mary sue. I guess for me if you want to roleplay being a space marine maybe you should play a game where you're a space marine. It was Shadowclan, yea! At least they had a good shot at doing something that's actually in Ultima instead of just dragging in stuff from D&D. And sorry TLM - I banned you because there were some random people trolling Doublestep in there, I assumed you were part of it. You're unbanned now.
