Okay I'm slowly coming round to this MMO after looking at the addons and I desperately need something to play. Are people happier to see tanks or heals in this game?

skylined! posted:Geist sucks, get used to moving around a lot with :dive: and casting telekinetic strike, mind burst, and building charges with spectral form and bolster. I'm really liking phantasmal armor and projected spririt for not-dying utility, and crush should probably always be on your bars too. Okay cool, I'll probably do that then. I like the ability system, this game does a lot of things right and the fact that it's an MMO is still vaguely odd to me.

Darth Windu posted:gently caress. I've discovered I like being a Medic much more than a Warrior but I'm already 40 on my Warrior and I don't know if I can plow through leveling in this game again. 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? We only have one stun, which makes no sense.

It's like they spent the last few years actually seeing what other games did well and did wrong and used that to influence their design. :x I remember seeing this at the same PAX that Guild Wars 2 was on demo at, and Wildstar impressed me more by far. GW2 did some things right, but Wildstar hit so many more good points.

I just joined the game. I'll be able to actually play tomorrow afternoon/night. I managed to not gently caress up the auth system. Man that was super smooth. Whoever coded that is A+++.

I just got some kind of Imbuement quest? Wants me to go kill a warbot or something. Problem is, I'm not sure how to get to it. I think an explorer has to open up that part of the map or something. Am I wrong? I googled it and there weren't any answers, just map locations (which doesn't really help)

The warbot is part of the zone's quest line, you can't miss it.

I think an explorer has to open up that part of the map or something. Am I wrong? The Warbot is the 'boss' at the end of that zone. Don't go find it right away when you get the Imbuement quest, just keep playing normally and then get the bonus at the end when you finish up.  Unless you really want to do it twice. The benefit from the quest is snazzy, but not a big enough deal to make the starter zone any easier - it's more of an introduction to that type of quest, although I'm level 20 and I haven't ran into another yet.

Meowbot posted: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.  Also protip - you can almost always get any game that GMG has for sale for 20%+ off.

I really hope they don't nerf vendor prices for gathering mats again... I rake in some money from all my harvesting plugins in my 3 character's houses.

nopantsjack posted:Okay I'm slowly coming round to this MMO after looking at the addons and I desperately need something to play. As a tank, I sometimes don't get instant queues when I queue for dungeons. Which is really odd because in other MMOs as a tank its almost always instant. Once I had to sit in queue for over 20 minutes! That was the most horrible feeling in the world. I've also queued as a Healer and DPS on my Esper alt and got picked as a DPS though. So maybe its not a lack of healers but some weird period in the afternoon where no one wanted to run dungeons.

Yeah, I realized that like five minutes after I posted it. Oh well. I'm almost level 10. I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm just doing whatever quests I find and then doing path missions when I come across them. I want that snazzy outfit, dammit.

nopantsjack posted:Okay I'm slowly coming round to this MMO after looking at the addons and I desperately need something to play. I have no stats to support this, but judging by queue times with my warrior friend, there are a lot less tanks than anything else. My friend and I queued for the first adventure with me as healer/dps and him just as DPS. A few minutes of no pops, we re-queued with him as tank and got a group instantly. People are afraid to tank apparently. Queues as healer on my level 40 medic are long enough that there doesn't seem to be a shortage of healers either.

Yea, as a tank I haven't had more than 2 minute queue for things and that's the aberration. It's usually faster than I can close the group finder window.

People that do adventures/dungeons as a medic healer, what does your skill bar look like? How does your gear vary from standard questing fare?

So I put up an order for 200 Iron Ore on the Commodity Market Last night to help with my Survivalist Architect and I thought I'd go with one copper above the lowest buyer for 64 copper. I then realized after clicking that the Vendor price of copper was over a Silver and I was pretty much buying it at half the vendor price. There was literally no reason for anyone to ever sell me a single piece of copper. The order was done in an hour. What the gently caress. Am I missing something?

There was literally no reason for anyone to ever sell me a single piece of copper. People want to sell their mats, they don't check the vendor price, and the game puts no lower limit on buy order prices. After the first week of the game the price of leveling mats plummeted so far that I've just been vendoring everything.

For the first two dungeons and level 15 adventure you can just slot Emission/Crisis Wave/Dual Shock/Mending Probes/Flash and Paralytic Surge for helping stun mobs. Also Barrier for emergencies. Start using Shield Surge as soon as you unlock it at level 24. For gear, you want insight instead of tech and resonators with more support power than assault. Maybe some focus regen items too. Other than that, the stats effective for questing are good for healing too (moxie, brutality)

I run, Emission, Mending Probes, Empowering Probes, Protection Probes, Shield Surge, Flash, Paralytic Surge, Urgency. I have a few epics and the rest is pretty much lvl 50 blues.

So let's talk about Trigger Fingers. The loving thing doesn't drop, this much we know. Precisely one is currently for sale on my crappy server (Caretaker) at 20 plat. This is not unusual. But here's the thing. Nobody from Carbine will talk about it. Does that mean that it's the way it is and I should suck it up and start grinding for 20 plat? Does that mean they're about to nerf the heck out of it and doing so would be a huge waste of my time? Not knowing whether this is intended or not is the truly maddening thing here.

They're a world drop and our Guild bank has plenty in there we've randomly picked up. Unfortunately most people just vendor it or toss it in their Bank, never to be actually used.

Lionguild posted:I use an addon called ProcsHUD which flashes buttons in the middle of the screen when some of my abilities "special requirements" kick in. Not sure how useful for medics but it helps keep my eyes in the middle of the screen and keeping up my Quick Bursts and instant Bio Shells. There's also AuraMastery which is a whole lot more powerful, but requires some time setting up. For my engineer I have it configured to basically show me an icon of what I should be casting next. If volatility between 30 and 70 and Bio Shell is off cooldown, show Bio Shell. If volatility is 55 or above and Bio Shell is on cooldown, show Bolt Caster. If volatility is below 30 and Target Acquisition is off cooldown, show TA. If everything is on cooldown and volatility < 30 I need to dash to build volatility. (You do have Reckless Dash, right?) Additionally (doesn't replace the above icons, displays next to them) If I've caused a crit and Quick Burst is off cooldown, show Quick Burst. If I've deflected an attack and Feedback is off cooldown, show Feedback. Collateral Damage fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Jun 17, 2014 |

a cock shaped fruit posted:Now this sounds interesting. I had a similar thing in WoW and I loved it. It's only for engineers, unfortunately. It doesn't show me any of my warrior ones. The thing is that in every other game I've played with procs of this nature the stuff procHUD does is built in anyway - it just makes a big button appear near you to tell you the proc is ready.

Collateral Damage posted:Wildstar does too, you get a flashing dashed line around the icon when it becomes available. It's just a bit too subtle. I know it tells you, but other games have the flashing line AND a gigantic icon on the screen. Even WAR did it.
