I hope they add more BGs soon. The pvp in this game is incredibly fun but a few more maps with different gameplay features would go a long way in increasing the longevity of the game in my opinion. You can only play the same two BGs all day until they just get old, despite the actual pvp combat.

How can Wildstar need more than two PvP maps when chess does just fine with one board?? Can't believe I'm actually happy about Hazak queues being "only" ~hour long on a monday evening.

The same way the tank started? Crafted pieces and tanking easier content in DPS gear while you accumulate tank gear.

And then tank easy stuff to get what you can't get otherwise. Then actually tank. I would 99 out of 100 times take a tank in worse gear who has experience tanking than a tank that just dpsed and had better gear.

Stoven posted:Are the range on telegraphs bugged? I seem to get constantly hit even when I'm standing well outside them. I think there's some client-server lag interaction between them which will probably be troublesome at end-game. I've used Medic Urgency (Blink) to teleport out of them instantly before and still gotten hit by them when they landed a few seconds later. I'd say 98% of them are consistent though, I just rarely get hit by one I know I've dodged and get frustrated.

Makes sense, but I'm finding it happen even if both of us are standing still. I'll be planted in place healing and a stalker will be standing still wailing on me even though I'm well outside his telegraph.

I've made a terrible mistake by poopsocking with engineer to lv50 first, instead of trying out more classes. Now I'm rolling a spellslinger alt (soon to be main) and find myself having more fun with its abilities than I did with engineer. Looks like I'm only gonna keep the engi character around to use the housing for garden/relic node farming, and maybe pick him up again in far future.

WastedJoker posted:Man, I'm really struggling with the controls in this game. Maybe I played too much Archeage. Are you not using right click mouse look like people were telling you earlier? Turning 180 degrees very quickly with mouse look should not be difficult at all, binding a key for it feels counterproductive (doubt that's possible). Mouse look is probably the most important thing to handle in playing almost any MMO effectively, I can't imagine playing Wildstar with keyboard turning. What other issues are you having?

The crafting swap cooldowns are a bit odd. It said less than a day left so I did a few voucher missions from the board, that got me to L2 and it jumped up to 49 days to next swap. It'll be interesting to see if it really makes me wait that long or if the timer changes.

I just picked this up today, and I'm struggling with really bad input lag. During combat, I'll be hitting hotkeys and nothing will happen for a good five seconds or so, while the mobs just bash away at me. Getting through the opening section of the game was painful - there was about a 20 second lag waiting on dialogue options popping up when accepting/handing in quests. Is this a recognised issue? I've done a bit of searching, but no-one else seems to be referencing it. Playing Dominion on Contagion EU if that makes a difference.

Almost any item I try to buy off the auction house will give me a completely incorrect summary for how much it will cost. Yesterday it gave me a transaction summary of 10 platinum for a 10 Silver item, that cost me only 10 silver.

What are crafting voucher things even used for? I noticed that today I could pick up the Ellevar trade board quests again, even though I've already completed them so the only thing I'd get for repeating them would be vouchers.

Something like 70% of your stats when leveling come from base stats, so gear doesn't make much of a difference. Just get a tank weapon and switch to tanking stance, you'll be fine as long as you have armor. You'd be fine tanking poo poo naked if you didn't lose all your armor.

I tanked the first Exile adventure as a Stalker in DPS gear so I think it should be okay if you have a decent party. I remember reading somewhere, possibly in this thread, that while levelling the vast majority of your Assault or Support power comes from your weapon rather than your armour, so you really only need to worry about grabbing a tanking weapon if you can. Don't quote me on that, though.

Yeah one thing to keep in mind is that as you approach 50 you should start keeping equipment sets that have both assault and support power if you want to play those roles or are willing to learn to play those roles to lessen your queue times for adventures. As you go through grimvault the game throws both sets of gear at you at different times. Although for esper benchmarks, I was dpsing at 1800 AP / 800 sp and healing at 1100 AP / 1200 SP (missing some support pieces in my itemization) going into vet adventures without major problems. Note that AP/SP values will vary significantly by class. Zoness fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Jun 9, 2014 |
