The post was reported as importing drama from IRC so I'm not going to do a bunch of investigating as to what actually happened on IRC. He says he was saying something about something else, some other dude banned him for thinking he was saying something about something different. If there's a problem he could always message the dude in IRC. Too many times has this poo poo turned into page long arguments about loving IRC poo poo

I was in a group with some Archeage goons and we killed this dude in his own castle. It was a rewarding experience.

That's pretty awesome. Just heard him say he's on a PvE server in Wildstar because world PvP is just annoying and there's no point to it. You can be proud.

Another path thing: you don't need to do every path mission in every zone to get to max level so if one particular mission is loving you around you can just ignore it

Hey, if they help stop those unbearable derails we got in the last few incarnations of these threads, I'm all for it.

Anyway, as for the discussion, I agree that Settler is pretty low-maintenance if you don't give a crap about path stuff while still being easy enough to let you grab the relevant perks you want.

Me? I like going off of the beaten path, so I'm totally going scientist. (Because lore is more enjoyable than jump puzzles.). Plus there are some really nice areas and details to be found/seen in the zones I've been in so far, and I've only really been in starter and early ones. (I've consciously stopped myself from leveling beyond either capital city).

I'll still remind people that you get regular XP for any path missions you do after you hit path level 30 - so there is a benefit

Buy orders. Buy low from idiots, sell high. Debatable how to get your starting bankroll, but finding the right stuff to buy automatically from dumb shits is a cash train. Of course you won't be the only one of us trying to do this.

I don't know much about paths but I hear you can buy different hats for the scientist scanbot that follows you around so that's the one I'm picking.

I still have no idea about which class though!

Seems to be the standard more so for this community than most. Have to freak out about anything that deals with any casual elements of the game, or going free to play, or if someone minor changes it will no longer be the WoW killer it was destined to be becaCARBINE WHY ARENT YOU LISTENING

Jun 22, 2004

A few people on the official forums have mentioned that the Carbine devs have said they would kill off Wildstar completely before they went free to play, but I can't find any actual quotes.

My expectation for after launch is that we'll see a new battleground (already confirmed anyways) and some new raids, and then nothing else ever again. That's how it tends to work out for MMOs.

In planetside 2 before I came to play with SA members sometime last november, there had been apparently a shitload of drama I fortunately never got to experience that resulted in a harsh clampdown on the forums over it. As a result, my experience with planetside 2 has been more or less drama-free and highly enjoyable - no bad vibes or toxic atmosphere.

To be fair though, part of this is also due to the people currently in leadership of the various planetside 2 outfits deciding to act like reasonable adults while still creating safe space to be silly ingame - as well as policiing their own pretty well. So it really is a combination of keeping drama off the forums and keeping drama out of the game groups to boot.

I know there will be inevitable drama in Wildstar too - it seems almost unavoidable - but I would also hope that a combination of mod policing here to keep drama off the forums plus the leadership of the wildstar goon group(s) deciding to be as drama-free as possible and would take care to police their own in a mature fashion. While of course still fully allowing people to cut loose and be silly. Being silly is not the same as being a reprehensible dramabomb after all.

I think I have a general idea of the character class/path combos I want to make for my 'mains.'

Engineer-Settler
Medic-Scientist
Esper-Explorer
Spellslinger-Soldier

Will probably do Stalker-explorer and Warrior-soldier for the last 2 classes, but I'm not that interested in them compared to the other 4.

It's hilarious in hindsight when those involved have been punished or whatever, but it's not hilarious to experience it and have it make your play experience lovely and toxic.

I'm actually a little mad at Spacedad for pointing out that Engineer/Settler and Medic/Scientist make more sense than Engineer/Scientist. What the hell, Spacedad, now I have to roll Settler :mad:
