just normal walls or floor pieces, honestly. I save item space by enlarging the poo poo out of them. For instance, my street there is just an Aurin floor maxed in size with smaller floor pieces on the sides for sidewalks.

How annoying is world PVP in this game? WoW's world was pretty bad for pretty much ever, and always kind of turned me off from playing on MalGanis with Goons.


...but the Goonsquad PVE is on an RP server? Oh god.

In case anyone didn't know, there's an RP chat option that's turned off by default.

As of right now, I find World PvP to be, uh, lacking. I had some good throw downs in Malgrave whilst leveling, but on Crimson Badlands (the shared level 50 questing zone) I'm questioning whether or not most people on the Dominion side realized they were picking a PvP server. The Exiles as a group seem to be more aggressive, and the Dominion, less so.

Most Exiles are pretty polite and seem to be fine with just doing quests, at least when you get past the furious battle of the first pvp zone. It was a bit of an adjustment there (Whitevale) when you get to the first neutral bunny village, at least for me, there were dozens of Exiles in the questing area killing all Dominion on sight. It is better later. Most people at my level (40) just seem to be trying to power to the cap, rather than fight, which makes it fun to ambush and camp them when I get bored of endless quests.

Another newbie question: how lame is the path system? It seems pretty sub-par that you pick it without much fanfare at the character screen but you can never change it, especially since it seems like scientist and settler are way better than explorer and soldier as of right now. It just seems like an enforced way to add more class combinations to make people make new alts.

Also, it seems like calling a class Medic seemed like a terrible idea-- it totally makes the class sound like a 100% healer. It kind of works in a game like TF2 because it is primarily a healer with like a small bit of self defense otherwise, but you spend most of your time healing. It's like calling a class Doctor.

In the beta, they jokingly called the class 'Sawbones'. I am sad they didn't stick with this.

In reality, it means all the nearsighted morons don't play my gorgeous technomancer because they are too lazy to read more than a class name, because Medics are metal as gently caress and awesome to the max. Welcome glorious medic fellows, who were smart enough to do their homework.

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
I am currently playing the trial and having a good time so I look up to see if anyone is selling WildStar account they don't want for cheap on CraigsList (maybe they got bored of it after a few weeks). I type in Wildstar and a few local craigslist ads pop up. I see one wehre a guy is offering his account key he won during a twitch stream for a dominos Pizza $25 egift card. I decide hey wow that is a really good deal. I don't want to spend $60 right now but can afford $25! I hit him up and we go back and forth and he tells me buy the gift card and once I Get it I'll send you a key.

I'm like well poo poo he is a gamer so should be legit. I send him a $25 dominos egift card and then wait a few minutes. I message him back "I sent it" and then 2 hours later "you going to send the key or what?". I log into dominos and it doesn't even show he has looked at the e-mail. I gave him all day and just came home from work and fucker used the money while I was at work. Welp that is my story how I already spent $25.00 on getting scammed buying wildstar and will now have to buy it at full price costing me about 85 bucks instead of cheaper like I had wanted.

Anyways, I've been messing around with soldier and am only level 10 but reading a lot of guides online it seems all you do is spam rampage as your finisher. Does this ever change? Are warriors really good DPS at higher levels because at low levels I could be playing a stalker and killing 4x as quick it seems. That tutorial area is really not making me want to start any other classes.

Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
I'm really starting to wish I hadn't taken Explorer. There's some quests in Aurora (or however that is spelled) that I just cannot do. A scavenger one in the mining area and disabling some exile transmitters in the rocky bit with the apes.
I couldn't do them in beta either. The scavenger one is the most annoying because it's pretty clear about where to go and the areas are very small, but I just don't get any green bar or dig prompt.

I really REALLY don't like just having to leave quests since I'd much prefer to complete the area but I just don't know what to do. The disable transmitters one starts in a cave but all the arrows just point to absolutely nothing!

Esper is my favorite class, but I'm not interested in any of the races that can play them. Mordesh is my favorite race by far, and Warrior is probably my 2nd favorite class, but it seems like a bad long-term plan to choose a class I like somewhat less just so that I can look cooler.

I am slowly convincing myself that it'll be fine to be an okay-looking Human instead of a badass space zombie, but it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Any class can wear any kind of armor in their costume slots, so yes, you can have your space wizards wearing heavy armor or engineers and warriors wearing dresses and hoodies.

This usually doesn't happen to me. Maybe I am simply bored with the warrior playstyle. Anyone have any bad things to say about the medic?

What he actually means is that you have a bunch of amazing abilities that most of the time can only be used after a crit, and when those suckers light up you stroll your fingers across the keyboard like a concert pianist and watch a symphony of amazing numbers appear on the screen. This isn't a bad thing at all. A lot of people whine and moan about Medics 'doing lovely damage' because they don't have the mental capacity to stop spamming the builder ability you get at level 1. It hits like crap, but you have a dozen other incredible abilities that hit like a truck, and AoE fields that tick away and you are rewarded for pulling multiple mobs.

STOP SPAMMING DISCHARGE. You have poo poo like Collider, or Nullifier, or even Annihilation Field if you have the amp, you can do sweeping damage to everyone in your way. I am level 26, geared like a wet blanket but walk through swathes of people because it's what badass motherfuckers do.


On an unrelated note: I can't help but feel all the people continuously whining about the 'High Time-To-Kill' in this game have never once in their life done a proper 'Moment of Opportunity'.

On the other hand, it's a badly explained mechanic, and shame on Carbine. Thoughts?

Ultima Ratio Regum
So Wildstar seems to have the exact opposite leveling pace issue that WoW had in vanilla, in that leveling is sorta slowish for a while and then it skyrockets. In 3 hours I went from 42 to 46 at a breakneck pace in Malgrave/Grimvault, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down as I approach cap. It's kinda... weird, honestly, but I'm certainly not complaining. Warrior just seems to get better and better as I go, and at 47 I'll have Kinetic Fury/Armor Shred/Power Link all at the same time.

But what really gets me is T8 Relentless Strikes and Rampage. It's just... it's... :staredog:

I mean it's basically "Hey there, Warrior! Big fan of Rampage I bet. Best drat damage spammer in the game, am I right or am I right? But you know what sucks? That cooldown. Wouldn't it be nice if that cooldown just... wasn't really there anymore? And Rampage made itself and everything else stronger? Well congratulations, you're 45, all of that is now true, and you are a god. Try not to have too much fun murdering everything you look at funny on the way to 50, you don't want to get nerfed too fast."
