Fun fact: settlers can unroll little sleeping bags they might find out in the world. You can use them to log out for rest xp. It seems pretty useless. The first time I found one was after I had my house.

wildstar.txt posted:I'm a miner and completely overflowing with Galactium just from doing my Crimson Badlands dailies the past 4 days. I had 500 stashed in my bank and I get an extra 50-100 a day just from mining the nodes I run pretty much directly over. My dailies cost me about 60 galactium per day, and I still end up with a massive net gain. I've been making Epochos and Adventus gear and I still have more than I'll need for a long time. The market price on Galctium is already plummeting as more people reach 50, but I can't see it steadying out any time soon. It'll keep dropping until they're selling for less than iron, because - kind of the opposite of gold income - there's far too much coming in and not enough of a sink.

So how does having multiple gathering skills work? You just forget about equipping a tool and just shoot nodes?

So just to make sure I’m doing it right, Warrior Tanks want Tech and Grit? If so, I’ve been doing it loving wrong this whole time.

Tech on warriors increases support power. Most support abilities generate additional threat and damage is based off the amount of support power you have. So yes.

There is no reason you can't use those abilities once the mob is glued to you through the awesome power of rampage while it's off cooldown

If you are stacking rampage as a tank you are doing it wrong. All of the threat generators fall under support and support is gained through tech for all tanks.

Ciaphas posted:Excepting the "classic MMO healing" thing for espers, are they all more or less like this in playstyle for DPS as well? Esper DPS is pretty bursty. It's all about building up to 5 points as fast as possible so you can unleash your MIND EAGLE for huge numbers. You have to stand still for your main builder but pretty much everything else is mobile and there are plenty of ways to build points on the move. Clever usage of your abilities and points can give you some pretty ridiculous burst, it ends up being more fun than it seems like it would be on paper. You also have an absurd amount of CC which can allow you to solo some pretty hard stuff if you do it right. Oh yeah, telegraph-wise most Esper stuff is either cones or reasonably wide line aoes. cathead fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Jun 6, 2014 |

I rolled an esper to the mid 20's during beta and generally I found their DPS to be a tradeoff game. You can use skills more suited to distance dps but you'd be fairly stuck in one place while casting most of them. Or you could run with abilities more suited to close range and be extremly mobile (Specifically looking at builders since that's what you are ultimately going to be casting the most of.) Either way they do a lot of huge alpha strikes, fairly sustainable too provided you get a good rotation going. Most espers you see in the wild leveling have no clue about rotation and just spam random poo poo and take forever to kill anything.

Are there any secret settings you can change that help performance at all? It runs awful on wife's computer except in Ultra Low and trying to find a way to make the game look appealing but not be unplayable so that she's still interested in it enough after the 7 day trial that when she gets a new computer soon she'll consider playing it for real. Alternately are there any classes that play better with higher graphical lag, with wider targeting reticles or something?

I clicked on an AMP item that I got from a quest reward that had a proc on it and it got used up or equipped... maybe? It had a base level of 14 compared to my own level 8 so maybe it's tucked away in some yet-to-be-unlocked UI menu?

Yeah that unlocked the AMP, it should show up as selectable instead of red on your AMP screen and you'll be able to use it once you have enough points invested in the earlier tiers to unlock that tier. Usually those tier 2/3 amps require multiple amp points to use though.

There are some performance boosts if you had the client in early beta and haven't reinstalled. Also NVIDIA put out an updated driver that boosted performance for people with their cards. They've already done tons of performance enhancements so if those two things don't help her out you may be out of luck.

For me, the key was dropping draw distance sliders and the clutter distance slider way down. I can leave the rest on medium generally, but those sliders had by far the greatest performance impact. Also dropping from 1080 to 1600x900 helped a lot, and looks better than dropping the render resolution option. It's also worth noting that the starting areas/tutorial run poorly even with these settings, but once I get out to the first real zone my performance jumps up a TON without fail. It's weird.

I'm sad I didn't copy it, but there's a funny dialog in the Farside mission where 4 Protostar employees simultaneously show up to take delivery of a package. It's worth it after the quest is done to hang out and watch them try to figure out which one gets to have it. On that note Farside is the best zone.  I enjoyed the Shiphand there a lot, the end fight was great. Can't beat fighting against a giant sentient vending machine in a psychedelic mushroom and rainbow covered room, while you're being watched by a giant goat eye.

I was surprised to find that the blank space between zones actually exists, appears terrain-complete, is flagged for PvP, and has (some) resource nodes in it. There's no music, NPCs, or mobs, which makes it really creepy. But it's there. Wonder if they're just going to dump content in those blanks as time goes on?

I've been getting hate whispers from pubbies for spamming the /cry emote as Chua. Honestly, it's really more like a /scream emote than anything for the little guys. WAHHHHHHHHHHH. HUUUUUUHHHhhhhhhh..EEARRRRRRRRRGH!!!! Also, jumping while moving forward doing the /cry emote will cause the chua's legs and tail to separate from his spine briefly and spin around forward, as his body remains bolt upright while his legs do the forward roll animation.

The crucial thing to do is to type /kneel after capturing a mask in temple to raise one to god for allowing you to score a touchdown on the capture. Really gets people if you do it while they are still fighting in the room.

I have two problems/questions 1. Perhaps half the time it takes me several clicks on objects, npc's etc to activate them. Is this me, as in my mouse or something, or is it a common ui complaint? 2. I guess I don't get aiming my telegraph. Most of the time it shoots out the way I'm looking, but sometimes it just goes off in another direction and clicking on the mob I want to target, having him highlighted while shooting, etc just won't move the telegraph where I want it to go. Am I missing something
