This isn't even the first loving quest where they did this poo poo. There's one like that in Ellevar. And in Ellevar they even seemed self-aware of how loving bullshit it was that you were picking flowers for your quest. Unsurprisingly, I hate Ellevar about as much as I hate Whitevale. That's just such an outright insulting kind of quest. "We couldn't come up with something interesting, so pick some flowers for EXP."

dreffen posted:So this could be a combination of things. Bad party. Terrible tank. Me being bad because I've never healed. I love my medic though. The Assault part of it, anyway. Yeah that was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek more than anything. Tracking inconsistent dodges is a problem but I think people are going to learn how to cope with that one way or the other. The only other game i've played with skillshot healing was BLC and healing in that was pretty tough but I think that's what makes it fun. Also getting my fully charged Soothe dodged by an ally I'm trying to heal is the worst.

I think I even admitted that I may be one of those people a few nights ago in mumble when it was a few of us in a channel. You're right though, it can be difficult. Zoness posted:Yeah that was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek more than anything. Tracking inconsistent dodges is a problem but I think people are going to learn how to cope with that one way or the other. I may just insufferably autistic but getting a 1/3rd of my heals dodged because people running away from healing telegraphs, or because the tank is moving like they're having an aneurysm and making it as difficult as possible to track them for healing, or people just straight up not moving out of bad telegraphs it all piles up and makes me feel like an rear end in a top hat and that I'm somehow not doing good enough. 90% of this is bad players. But it doesn't make me feel any less bad.  I'll probably just go see about tanking so I can punish healers for being punished as a healer and then the circle of life continues. dreffen fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jun 3, 2014 |

Is there a strange goon fascination with medic? Anyway I like that its hard to heal as one and get a very Disciple of Khane from WAR from them when I go DPS with some offheals. Still do top damage in BGs and get 2-3 in healing. Also: Just registered and authenticated to Wildstar Goons in under 2 minutes that poo poo was hard  VV I hope so.

Like I just got done saving Hycrest not only from a national crisis in the form of a life-ending plague threatening the common folk, the very common folk who produce food for everyone, but also by helping push back a war-front from these mysterious enemies! And this bunny bitch wants me to pick flowers for her wedding? Excuse me? Okay I'm done being mad, sorry guys.

I just rolled a Medic today to try it out.

Welcome to MMOs. In LOTRO I saved the entire region of Eriador from the designs of a resurgent Angmar. Later my valor in combat was the main factor allowing a nascent Dwarven kingdom in Khazad-Dum to escape being destroyed by the Orcish threat. Then one day I, the hero of Eriador and of Moria, showed up in a swamp village in Dunland and was asked to gather beetle dung to help repair a hill-folk tribe's thatched roofs because they didn't trust me yet.

Yeah, similar problem with WoW. When one faction has literal brainwashing and thought police in its tutorial, while attacking unarmed civilian craft in the other, it's very difficult to make any later ambiguity feel genuine.  Anyway, speaking of the story...christ, these datacubes are making my eyes roll so hard. So many Eldan dance around what THE PROJECT (ARE YOU INTRIGUED YET????) is, referring to it in vague terms all the time. It's like a six year old with a BIG SECRET that you WILL TOTALLY WANT TO KNOW BUT CAN'T.

How do the different healers play anyway? It's hard to know until you've leveled quite a bit and actually tried some group content, so what is the main difference between them?

What's happening to me is that when I switch zones, even going from battlegrounds back to the gameworld, will cause performance to tank. Quitting out completely and then starting Wildstar up again fixes this.

The servers poo poo themselves immediately after launch, but that was only really an issue if you were one of the people that stayed up until / woke up at 3 AM to play right when the servers turned on. I don't think anyone could get in until maybe 4:00? (Personally I didn't start until maybe 36 hours later) Certain of the servers are still frequently full, too.
