1. There is very much a super end game grind but the game is still fun, they have adventures which keep things neat like Oregon Trail/MOBA/Tower defense style stuff

2. This is very WoWy and very buggy but still fun

3. There are seriously like over a thousand of us on Warbringer Dominion

4. I suck at MMO economy stuff and I have had enough money to buy 3 CREDD already so right now at least it is certainly doable to not have to pay a sub.

Which adventures are like Oregon Trail and tower defense?

Okay, having forgot about this game for a long time, but recently stumbling on the forum ad, I am highly interested in this again. I am coming from years of pre-i14 or so CoX, and want something like it.

1) How CoXy is this compared to standard MMO fare? As in, very chatty, mindless loving around, fun physics, good goon banter and pick up parties, less emphasis on super end game grind, etc.

2) how solid is this game in general? I like Borderlands, so the feel of this game is up my alley, but I know a lot of MMOs nowadays just suckle at the WoW teat for ideas.

3) Is there a big, active goon presence? Preferably on both sides so I can have altitis. You know, CoX.

4) how feasible is playing off of CREDD sales? Would it require a ton of grinding, or eat up a majority of my cash to keep it up? Can I pay partial CREDDs to pay less each month, or is it all one or the other?

The point is to force weaponsmiths to specialise. You can reach the end of any one of the four elemental trees within a month.

Elemental trees?

I don't recall the Epochos and Adventus weapons having elemental specs on them. I'm also fairly certain that to advance from being able to craft Epochos weapons to Adventus weapons you have to craft all of the Epochos weapons, not just a particular type, but I've only glossed over Weaponsmith since I made my spreadsheet.

Forcing Weaponsmiths to specialise is cool, and all, but the cost of such is making it require roughly 240 days to craft your first full set of Adventus-XX4 armour.

I'm being completely serious. Within 240 days, you could grind up the money to pay a progression guild to carry you through the raids, get you the achievements, and unlock the Epic Raid gear for you, and be able to pony up the Elder Gems (4,480 across 8 months) for at least most of the pieces, I'm sure.

And Adventus-XX4's stats are clearly meant as a stepping stone into raids.

Unless Technologist magically unlocks the ability to craft Epic, Legendary, or Artifact Power Cores, the only thing close to worthwhile is the Epochos set, which will only take you about a week to get a full set.

edit: and I'm fully aware that they can modify this going forward, and I'm sure they're listening, but the tone of the patch that recently passed was literally them saying, "you're obtaining Elder Fragments too fast, stop it." I hope 240 days to obtain gear barely fit for raiding in is slow enough for them? Even with the one guy bugging, there were the Chef Elder Fragments that couldn't have been bugs, but had to be them deciding, no, two per day is too many.

About missing money.

quote:

Hi everyone --

The team ‘s been actively working on an issue with the European Auth server crashed a few times this morning. At approximately 11:40AM PDT we experienced a crash of our Regional server. The Regional server controls account rights and permissions for everyone who logs in, which means when it fails we wind up with a situation where accounts get flagged as “Guest.” If you happened to log into the game or load into a new instance during the small window that the Regional server was having an issue at 11:40AM PDT – 11:45AM PDT (6:40PM – 6:45PM UTC), you would have been flagged as a guest account and become subject to guest account restrictions.

Getting flagged as a guest account has a number of different implications, but the most visible is a cap on the amount of gold you can store. As a matter of fact, all currencies (influence, renown, etc.) are capped for guests. Basically, this means that your currencies may have reverted to the max amount allowed for a guest if you made a transaction while our Regional server was down. This is the reason you may not have noticed the problem until a little while after you purchased from a vendor, hit the Commodities Exchange, sent a letter, or made some other cash purchase.

Let me start by saying this is our bad, and we’re sincerely sorry that an issue like this popped up and affected all of you. The team is working on countermeasures to prevent this from happening again, the first of which is a hotfix to prevent currency from ever being removed from a guest account in the event of a Regional server crash. The second is a blocker to prevent game world logins if Regional is in a bad state. This hotfix is something that we’re targeting for release today with an emergency downtime -- in the middle of prime time, if needed.

In addition, we’re going to reimburse everyone affected by this issue. More info about this will be coming soon.
Thanks very much for your patience and understanding. We’re working to address these issues as quickly as possible so you can continue to enjoy your time in Nexus.

See, I inevitably pull most of the packs in there because we usually get optional objectives like "Kill all the Jailers!" or "Kill 40 Marauders" and I'm always paranoid that after Ink Boss that there won't be enough mobs left to achieve it.

Are all the tank classes more or less the same for leveling up at low levels? I will be honest here and make myself sound like the biggest gayest baby ever when I tell you why I stopped playing my Stalker. The sound effects of the claws. Seriously if they didn't change that I can NOT play a stalker. The sound effect reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. Edit: Looks like my wish hasn't been granted.

All the character designs are like that. The male characters have pecs like two Volkswagens trying to drive get into a tent.


It's almost refreshing actually because all character designs are so cartoonishly extreme that it doesn't look out of place in the setting.

Let's pretend that you're right about the selection of male character designs (you're not): all hyper-sexualization isn't the same. It isn't the same thing to give dudes pecs like concrete slabs and women rears comparable to that of the Escalade that cut me off yesterday.

This may be worth a try to people with low FPS (despite a good computer).

Try this, go in the Wildstar folder and find the x64 client (Client64 folder) and run it from there not the shortcut.
I used to get around 30 fps constant and by doing that it went to 80 fps.

Holy poo poo, I can't believe this made a difference. My game runs so much better and even loading times are practically non-existant.

I suppose it depends on what you're into.

Even the Mechari have exaggerated features and their breasts and hips are nothing but gyros.


Still I find it a lot less noticeable than for example the Draenei where they have attempted to make humans look like humans in comparison.

Wildstar have characters more reminiscent of for example "The Incredibles"

I'm assuming they mean that all the characters have a hyper-exaggerated design where they purposely look cartoonish and stylised rather than the characters are equally sexualised. I think they are right about the sexy ladies being less out of place but I guess it would be cool to have more options, its always nice to have more options!

One thing thats cool is that the armor for the ladies all seems to be real armor, the stuff that does show off skin does so for guys as well so they get to look ridiculous as well.

Also the game is fun and I like playing it.
