Pound, try a brutal take ownership of all drives, folders, files. If that doesn't help, just install a fresh Windows. Backup stuff, disconnect all drives but an SSD, install Windows, let it patch, play Wildstar. Gonna take like 2 hours, so you can still enjoy the queues and fresh paint smell of the game if you do it right now.

Went back to TK Strike within 15 minutes :saddowns: On top of the damage and the range, it builds Psy points at about half the speed of TK Strike

Yes. Headstart access is part of the preoder items, they still list that. Should receive the key right away and be able to play right away.

Yeah I still find myself very unsure what esper skills I want to use. I've used psychic Frenzy for a while but might have to try TK strike again.

The queue boss is amazingly hard. It's the first boss you encounter during the game. It requires patience which unfortunatly not many do have including me.

Well I get around 25-30 fps with shadows off, textures on medium, and everything else maxed now. In beta I was lucky to get 20 even on ultra low. The game is still optimized really poorly, but it's playable now at least.

I don't find it to be THAT bad. It builds points slower but if you're using concentrated blades, bolster, and your innate for most fights then mobs will still die pretty quick since you've got plenty of psi points coming from your other abilities, and you lose any extras outside of the fight anyway. The range isn't such a problem since it enables you to more easily dodge around/through the mob as well. The damage is less but is more consistent since your TKS damage is going to suffer too if you have to interrupt it for a telegraph. It winds up not being too big of an issue if used in the right situations. I tend to pull it out if a mob has some especially annoying telegraphs that don't play nice with TKS, or if I'm in a tight spot and don't want to have to kite around much or accidentally aggro stuff with TKS's range.

It's definitely worse in dungeons and raids though, but I've seen Espers do well with it in small group PvP. That being said, I still wouldn't mind some buffs to it.

Dekaar posted:

So is the OP still correct that all EU goons are on Hazak? Is there an overflow Guild on another server or something because there is a two thousand people queue there right now and a seven hour wait time.

I've just made the RP pve server my home on the exile side. If and when hazak is a sane place to roll I'll have a choice to make but until then I'm staying clear, while not spoiling dominion levelling in the meantime.

I figure in a couple of weeks if there's interest I could make or join a goon guild there if we want one. So far everyone's been rather nice and non creepy too surprisingly.

Edit: the big problem is my wife won't do pvp servers and is 90% likely to buy. I accidentally got a second preorder code so she's playing at the moment. I don't really want to end up stuck on the lowest pop server but right now I can't be arsed dealing with queues over 20-30 minutes long. Once things settle if she buys I'll have a choice between sticking or starting over on an active but not insane pve server. If she doesn't buy I'll either stick where I am or more likely join hazak once it's viable. I want to play the exchanges though so a busy server would help.

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing with Quantum Cascade on my medic when solo. I know that Gamma Rays is higher DPS against a single target but QC is still decent and absolutely mows through multiple mobs. AOE everything erryday.

As usual I can`t get my poo poo together, pick a class and stick with it. I really like the engineer style and gameplay idea but so far, and I`m only lvl 4, the cast time on the main volatility builder and the fact that all you seem to do is build vol. and then stand there sprinkling electrocute around is boring me a little bit. Does it get better in later lvls?

Yeah, later on between Energy Augur, Bio Shell and the Volatility Rising AMP you won't actually need to use a builder. You just rotate through Bio Shell (which is instant between 30 and 70 volatility and generates volatility) and your spender (usually either Electrocute or Bolt Caster) while using your cooldowns and Energy Augur as needed. Basically, late game play involves you trying to stay between 30 and 70 volatility as there's a lot of amps that grant you benefits from being in there.

Sounds good. I don`t mind cast time for initiating, but I feel that combat is much more satisfying with instant skills.

I don't know. lovely frame rate on medium with a new card is poor optimisation.

The way you described it just sounds like you need to buy a new video card.

I have an nvidia card from about 5 years ago and I went from 30-40 on medium to 50-60 on high between beta and release so there has been some work done. The biggest increase came from the new nvidia drivers that came out a week ago.

I was just mining away on ores when suddenly a Titanium Worm popped out of nowhere. I killed it and found a worm cave. Going inside I saw this.



Titanium as far as the eye can see. However instead of mining as quickly as I was too busy telling everyone I knew about a cool cave. Then suddenly I got kicked out and was only able to mine a small portion :(

There's a timer on this cave.

Pretty sure it does - although I've been binding to a naga because that's what I have and that uses the num keys by default. I can't imagine wildstar having fewer binds available than any industry-standard mmo of the last 4 years.
