WotW status: still broken.

I've tried it 3 times. Twice for the second objective it just said "execute so and so's strategy" without telling us what that strategy was. The third time our first objective was "Kill targeted champion" but it didn't tell us where or even who that champion was. We just crossed our fingers and killed the first two we came across who apparently were not the target. You don't have time to kill all of them since that objective only gives you 1:30.

Yup. Not only did I also attempt it 3 times (one gold, the other two bugged out) and receive one secondary objective that had no text, but on the successful run we also received the "Capture Enemy Nodes" as the second objective, which the patch notes themselves would no longer occur.

I suppose the only positive is that the Capture Points seemed to recognize that we captured the points this time.

The discovery targets for cooking become pretty bullshit.



Part of the problem is that, unlike architecture which gives you a variety of angles, all of the angles available to you are multiples of 45. Combine that with the target being really tiny and on the very edge of the area you can even reach, and you have to get stupidly lucky to make it. I think they're pushing you to using the catalysts that make the target bigger. The problem is, in addition to making the target bigger they also change its location. So now you have to start from scratch on locating what region it's in. But the catalyst only lasts for one attempt. :suicide:

It's a bit odd because they actually did fix the capture nodes objective. It used to only recognize it when you captured neutral nodes, but now enemy nodes work. Still encourages you to sit around with your thumb up your butt for minutes on end, though.

So what's wrong with the crafting dailies for architect? I can't get any data fragments at all :(

The architect daily breaks when you take a transport to Malgrave. To make it work, set your recall point to Malgrave, drop the quest, go back to Illum to pick up the quest again, then recall the Malgrave and you should be able to interact with the quest NPC

After being told by Carbine support that they were sorry that the name reservation bug hit us, and that all we needed to do was submit a ticket and request a change today, I've received the following response.

quote:

Greetings, Citizen of Nexus!

Customer support is unable to manually rename your character or Guild. A paid character name change service is available on the Wildstar Shop (link below). There may be the possibility of a Guild name change service later. If we introduce a Guild name change service, there will be an announcement on the news section of the Official Wildstar Website. Please keep your eye there for the latest information.

So! People of Space Jam, I believe we have two options; reform the guild, or get creative with our persuasion methodology.

Edit: I am partial to the second alternative.

You still got the original response saying ticket it again when they've expired? Send that back to them repeatedly until they rename the guild.

Was this on a new ticket, or did you reopen the original ticket? I'd guess the latter might make them actually think for a moment instead of giving you the canned response. Maybe. If you're lucky.

Either way, yeah, it's worth trying to take this one up the chain a bit.

Such is the plan! I'm kinda stunned by the response though. Saying that they don't have the ability to change names and that eventually they hope I can pay for that feature?

Does that imply that if I come up with a grotesquely offensive name and get it through their filter, it can't be changed by them? :allears:

I'd save that for the step after sending the CM the original "Send a request and we'll fix it later" message. If THAT one doesn't work, then yea, public shame.

Also. I do have a couple of guest passes left - my cool friends already picked up the game and my lame friends are too lame to play, so they're up for grabs.

Don't put points into luck, they said.

It's a useless stat, they said.
My Stalker finally hit 25, so I wanted to chime in on that previous debate between Preparation > Neutralize vs Stealth > Neutralize > Punish. One of the issues I've had with Stalker up to this point is that my burst is amazing, but getting that last 25% of the creature's HP down was excruciating. I had mostly been doing stealth neutralize spam up until this point, and while I was still able to kill the AoE mob packs easily, my single target damage was lacking. I swapped over to the Preparation build and not only can I pull 3+ AoE packs together and burn them all down with no fear, but I can murder single targets a lot faster now thanks to Prep's crit boost. (This is on a 25 with equal level gear)

Preparation and its T4 is amazing. That is all.
