I wonder how much of the queue is caused by a bunch of AFK shitheels auto running into a wall while they're at work. FFXIV had the same problem at launch, and it was exacerbated to a huge extent by people just never logging off.

Yeah, Wildstar has some major memory leak issues right now - I was getting these crashes a lot. What worked for me is reloading the UI every 15-30mins - stopped the crashes and I think I played like 6 hours without incident. I don't know anything about addons but as far as I can tell the default Carbine ones are the culprits - the options menu and target frames build up a gigantic memory usage so until they fix that, reloading the UI to reset them is the only fix I've found.

Adding to this, I got major memory leaks every 5-10 minutes suddenly a few patches ago while I was playing in borderless windowed mode. Playing in full screen resolved that, I haven't tried reloading the UI at all but I'm usually able to stay stable for 2-3 hours at a time. Might help some folks.

I got a notification that there was going to be a small patch today or last night that affects how they detect AFK people and log them out. It sounded like they intended to make so something will popup that you might need to do if you have been doing the same thing for a long period of time. Like running into a wall.

Just a heads up for anyone that binds E and Q to something else without changing A and D to strafe. The mini game to get out of stun looks for your strafe keys so if you don't bind the strafe keys to new keys you cannot get out of stun early 50% of the time.

I'm really enjoying the game, but holy gently caress if I don't feel overwhelmed by some of it. Perhaps it's cause I'm getting up there in age, or just not terribly well versed in MMO's anymore, but gently caress me if there isn't a million and 1 things to interact with in any given area that I have no idea what it is doing.

As the oldest of the old I know what you mean. After games where I complained of not enough quests or not enough npc's to fight, this game is the opposite. So many quests I never know which way to go next and whenever I try to stop to look something up or chat three things attack me. And in my sleep now I hear, "Challenge Failed!" because with so many people chasing the challenge thing I seldom get more than 50% of it done.

Too much of a good thing?

Hint for challenges: don't even worry about doing them when you first find them. They get saved in your lore panel (default L) and you can come back once you've nearly finished the zone with an extra level or two and clean them out more easily. That lore panel has buttons to show you an arrow to where a challenge starts and everything.

In fact I'm kind of impressed at how it seems like (so far at least) there's really no way to 'miss' things or lock yourself out of completing something. As long as you keep plugging away at SOMETHING you can eventually get that zone completion number to 100%, and this makes my inner achievement babby happy.

I don't think they're missable in the sense that you can't go back to wherever to get them, but there's no way to easily find them other than exploring everywhere (and/or a couple addons), even for the Scientist path missions that need you to find all the cubes in a zone there's no way to get a direction arrow or anything.

Similar to the "Auto walk not making me walk" issue, anyone else having problems not being able to adjust the camera? Both on my laptop and my desktop, right click would simply not 'catch' the camera and I can't control my dude. loving infuriating trying to snap around to aim a spell or something and just sit there like an idiot.

My mouse cursor changes from the arrow to a hand, actually. No UI element visible or anything.

if I move my mouse anywhere in that red box, I get the different cursor and then I can't click.

Dumb question, but does Wildstar supporting binding to mouse buttons that are not LMB and RMB? I kind of want to get a (cheap) gaming mouse like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104838

With Steer I think it could make the game really enjoyable.
I wanted to bring this up again because I'm having issues with it. You can bind M1 and M2 with Steer, you can use most side and thumb buttons, but as far as I can tell you can't bind the wheelup/wheeldown to anything but camera controls. If you try binding it to LAS ability slots it just doesn't loving work and it's aggravating. My two thumb buttons and mousewheel press both work, but I had to macro my mousewheel up/down to keys to get that functionality in-game. Does the wheel rebind work for anyone else? The game totally lets you assign LAS slots to wheelup/wheeldown, displays the key name over the ability icon, and then just flat refuses to accept any input from the wheel.

Are there any functions you can bind to the wheel? I guess I could move vacuum loot off the thumb.

I had this issue and just switched to Steer. It's still clunky, but not as bad as not having your cursor "catch."

Popular like the slutty girl at school. It's very active so far and everyone seems like cool dads. Last night I mentioned I might feel like doing an Adventure and five minutes later we had five goons jumping out of a spaceship. We all purr like erect kittens when someone triggers a guild achievement and nobody knows why. Good times.

Also, I know the OP reccomends Steer for your mouselooking needs, but I couldn't stand how the mouselook turned off when you weren't moving. Deadlock is a similar program that keeps the mouselook on and has a toggle and does a decently good job of bringing the cursor back when needed (like opening your inventory or when talking to an NPC).

Might be worth checking out if you have the same pet peeve I did.

I had the same issue with Steer and although you can configure it to have a manual toggle I still found it pretty janky where it would occasionally refuse to swap. Similarly for Deadlock, which tended to crash and disable itself.

I ended up going with Lockdown, which took a minimal amount of fuss to configure and has worked flawlessly. One caveat, though: it has a small, optional AutoHotKey script to get around the game's restriction on key rebinding in mouse locked/not locked states. It's also by Xuerian, who made some p. good World of Warcraft addons, if that matters to anyone.

I've noticed addons sometimes block mouse functions in the game (The Zone or whatever was the biggest culprit for me), so maybe that's it? Like an addon window was invisible and extended further than it seemed like it should.

I'm on there and there hasn't been much RP going on that I've noticed, since everyone's presumably busy playing the game. There's no queues to get on the server, though, and the zone chat has been pretty friendly. I imagine ERPers will be more likely to stick to housing plots to do their... thing.

This is getting really absurd.

After hitting level 18 on Saturday, I got the glitch where an unopened piece of mail crashes your game every time you vacuum loot, turn in a quest, open a mailbox, and a whole bunch of other activities. It basically makes the game unplayable.

I found a thread on the WS forums where people were having similar issues and one guy managed to get them to return the mail in his box to sender and it resolved all issues for him.

I've submitted two tickets (I had to submit a second one because the first ticket just got some bullshit RP response form about "looking into bugs" as a response) for over 48 hours and I still haven't received a meaningful response from them. They've said that they're working on a global fix but the problem has persisted past every maintenance and downtime they've done.

I've already leveled an alt to 20 just killing time til they fix my character. It's frustrating because literally all they have to do is just get rid of the mail in my inbox and my character is playable, but their support is so braindead and worthless they can't even handle that.
