I played through the level 15 adventure for the first time today and I can't tell if I had fun or not. My group wiped multiple times on each stage and at times it felt like we were just throwing ourselves at stuff until the enemies eventually eroded away. Sometimes there was a glimmer of hope as we worked together and then we'd promptly die 30 seconds later. I think my main issue is that a lot of the time it's incredibly difficult to tell what went wrong.

I have to admit, none of the races were really grabbing me. I thought I'd like the Mechari, but those animations are so silly (what's with the female's sex-bot walk?)

Then I got to the Mordesh and dang! Space zombie elves one step from degenerating into flesh eating madness? Sign me up.

That's what Scientists get on their path? That sounds horrible.

It's pretty annoying (like for Celestion there's 16 datacubes, have fun finding them!) but I've always been a lore sperg and love reading their text so finding them all is something I would want to do eventually anyway...

Its too late your money is gay now

I found them: http://wildstar.gamepedia.com/Datacube/Celestion

I really don't understand that criticism of scentists. Its not as if datacubes move around or are all that well hidden. You can even activate them at range with your scanbot.

I pulled the trigger and rerolled to make my dumb explorer a cool dude scientist. Level 12 now and only 5 more until I'm back where I was. I think scientist will be pretty neato in PVP zones if I can find any goons who don't mind being ported into the middle of nowhere to kill bunny mans in exchange for a port back to Illium.

It sucks that I know what my problem is and exactly how to solve it (returning mail to sender) but I can't get a single WS Support guy to help.

That seems weird. I've been having a crashing issue since right before beta ended but waited until release to see if any day 1 patches fixed it. It didn't and have been going back and forth with Support all day trying to pin the issue down.

So any suggestion on medic healing? Are their heals smart targeted? Should I stack support power->crit rate-> grit? How much easier does it get when you the level 9 healing spell? Even with the first heal ability, I easily do 80-90k healing in 6-14 pvp.

Okay, I bought this damned game, downloading now. Time to choose between our various esteemed guilds...

Esper looks pretty awesome, and I generally like playing as a healer/support class, so I think I'll do that. Can I actually level as a healer/control build if I just latch on to groups like a space barnacle, or do I pretty much need to run a damage-focused build while leveling?

If you don't mind doing PvP you get absolutely bonkers XP for winning. Healers are incredibly hard to kill at low level BG's so you should be fine too.

I need some help from any Dominioniside people who went through Levian Bay: There are 9 Tasks listed in the zone completion list but I cannot find more than 7, no matter where I look. Here's my current list of done Tasks, does anyone know which ones I'm missing and/or where to start them?



Also I'm almost certain at this point that the big floating sphere thing above the Star-Com station needs a Scientist and Explorer cooperating to get into it; my Scientist can spawn an elevator up to it but once I'm there I can't see anything to do or anywhere to go, and I really doubt they put that elevator there for no reason... :tinfoil:

At first I wasn't too into the game, I think the Dominion "everything is red and lasers" art style didn't do it for me. I re-rolled on the Space Jam server with an Exile and basically made my original WoW character...an undead rogue. It plays a lot like a rogue, but drat if it isn't a playstyle I still enjoy. Also, my guts are in jell sacks.

Esper dps is pretty awesome, to be honest. Comes with a good bunch of frontloaded burst and is one of the better classes for abusing the MoO system.

Questing almost poses no utilization for healing and the TtK is so low for dps specs that you're best off dps specing for almost any kind of AoE grinding during questing.

We got a server wide message warning about the downtime at least.

After playing a bit more, I know that Warriors certainly hit faster, but I still want to roll Engineer. I know they hit and move slower, but I kind of like that extra punch.

Granted this is like first 5 levels so...EDIT: Feel free to prove me wrong, ya'll :v:

https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/60957-free-realm-transfers/

quote:

Hey everyone, as you can imagine we’ve been seeing calls for Free RealmTransfers on the forums, reddit on the live-stream. We’ve been working hard to make sure we take a measured approach to this delicate process. So in an effort to bring relief to some of our most populated Realms, we are offering free Realm Transfers off of these Realms and onto some of the lesser populated Realms. Once the server maintenance is complete on June 3rd, 12:00AM PDT, you will have the option to transfer your characters from the following Realms:


NA
Pergo to Rowsdower
Pago to Rowsdower
Widow to Rowsdower
Stormtalon to Mikros
Caretaker to Orias

EU
Hazak to Contagion
Hazak to Gaius
Hazak to Deadstar
Progenitor to Deadstar
Treespeaker to Gaius
Ascendancy to Archon

Please be aware, there will likely be a rush for Realm transfers when we first open up the service. The transfer process can take time. In some cases it may take up to 24 hours depending on the volume of transactions.

Additional Information:
Upon the event that we need to remove one of the destination Realms from the free transfer service, we will give the community 48 hour notice before removing a destination Realm from the list of Free Transfers.
When new Realms open post launch, we will message if this Realm is a transfer target or not. If the new Realm is not, then the “race to 50” will be preserved on that Realm for at least 2-4 weeks, and transfers will be prevented for that time.

The Realm transfer can only be enacted from the character select screen, so you will have to wait in a queue to enact the transfer if there is one on the source Realm.
You can move any number of characters you want as many times as you want, but each character can only be moved once every 22 hours.
You cannot have pending mail, auctions, commodity orders, or CREDD orders
You cannot be a member of a circle, Arena Team, Warparty, or a Guild
You cannot be in a circle, Arena Team, Warparty, or Guild leader

A note on Rowsdower - In the event that Rowsdower becomes overloaded, we are prepared to open new PvP Realms that Rowsdower players would be able to transfer to.
