If it's not a display bug, can you re-kill stuff you've gotten credit for? If not...you may not be able to get attuned. There aren't enough working bosses to get attuned twice. Nope multiple people have said it's reset, but I'm done with that so whatever. Carbine will have to fix it somehow I just hope they don't take weeks to do it, we need more people attuned.

Complete reset; killing a boss results in going from 0 to 8% as reported by tons of people. It seems to also reset which bosses they can get kill credit for, but it's insane to expect people to do 93% again... so Carbine will probably expect them to and offer it as a "workaround" until they figure out what caused it. I suspect a variable was playing double duty in one of the quests they fixed and resetting that quest state in the patch also reset that variable.

From Cougar on the official forums:quote:We will be looking into this early today. There are enough reports that I'm pretty sure we did something bad here, but I'm not sure exactly what yet. So expect it to be fixed around Drop 5! Alternatively, this is just another part of their hardcore mentality you guys. Being hardcore also means dealing with bugs, you know? If you want to raid at times you really have to earn it!

I'm going to get to max level, then maybe make an alt on a different class and level 1-15 using the two different start zones (Exile Mordesh 1-6 & 6-15, and Dominion Human 1-6 & 6-15) that I didn't see before. However past 15 when all of the races start zone funnel into the same zones/quest chains, it makes me really not want to level any other alts at all. Especially since it seems someone forgot to tune the Space-Snow zone's quests down-- all of the quest counters seem like they should have been toned down by a third or even half (ie: kill 10 things instead of 20).

Stealthed Zombie posted:From Cougar on the official forums: So after unsubbing I decided to give WOW a shot after 2+ years away from it, and holy poo poo all of the quality of life changes they have made in that game really drive home how loving arbitrary the difficulty is in Wildstar. At this point, it seems like "hardcore" is just a phrase they are hiding behind to explain their incompetence (lack of content, insane bugs, horrible tech support). Really all it refers to is the insane length of time it takes to accomplish anything and the patience you have to maneuver around all of the bugs. I think its funny as hell that a company that runs such a sloppy loving production feels like their customers should dedicate so much time and money to their game. I probably should have taken the hint after spending 20 days with a banned account trying to get support to fix it. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with a game before that I felt like jumping on a message board to complain, but gently caress this game.

Edit - This game is going to be completely killed by Warlords of Draenor launching. It seems most people are playing this game because it seems the most "WOW-like" of any other MMO launched, but it is only making people actually switch back to WOW after getting their mmo itch back on instead of making competition for it. As I said, I am enjoying the new zones and the initial leveling, with no desire to do endgame stuff really. However if WoD was out now I'd probably be playing that for new levels/zones to see instead of this! jeeves fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 31, 2014 |

I also don't get why they keep nerfing warriors. I don't know in what world you are playing wildstar and being melee makes a class "the easiest to play in the world", but if I had some bullshit tightknit weaving rotation I had to keep track of in addition to dodging cleaves, normal mechanic telegraphs, and any of those telegraphs that target the tank or other melee then I would probably just reroll. Being able to put up competetive dps means you need to stand just on the edge of damage/death, and make sure that all the movement you do not only takes you out of danger but as close to the boss as possible so you can continue dps and get in range of your stumpy rear end interrupts as soon as possible. Not all difficulty is derived from staring at the bar of cooldowns you have. e: In other news, I am hoping to make big mucho cash by going home for lunch and making customization stations to sell before everyone realizes it's not very hard to make.

I mean the world bosses part of attunement isn't really a challenge anyways, they're all piss easy even when they're max level. I assume it's more "please check out the cool stuff we put out in the world before you instance forever" kind of thing, so might as well just say gently caress it.

Not all difficulty is derived from staring at the bar of cooldowns you have. Having played a class that can choose whether to melee or range a fight (tried out 3-4 different LAS's during Kuralak progression), I can easily say that I have seen maybe one or two encounters in GA where being Melee is considerably more difficult than being ranged and that Engineers are clear outliers on DPS because of their class resource mechanics and that Warriors are ridiculously useful even beyond having meter-topping DPS in raid. And in Dungeons I only really see melee actually being bad in like, maybe 3 fights across all 4 dungeons?

That sounds like a good plan though it's too bad I can't take advantage of it. I hope the next drop proceeds to auto-complete everyone else on all the other steps too! And the one after that nukes the whole chain out of the game!

Zoness posted:And in Dungeons I only really see melee actually being bad in like, maybe 3 fights across all 4 dungeons? They're not bad, just that difficulty doesn't all come from pres butan. Thunderhoof or whatever in SC, for example, isn't hard really, but when he pulverizes and when pops a shroom (if you're trying to avoid that damage) both mean that you have to be well out of range when he lands, and when he jumps on one melee they all have to dive out of the way. He's still piss easy, but he's easier for ranged who really only have to jump and move if pulv targets them. For fights that being melee is terrible, it's mostly STL. Aetheros is easy but his group telegraph thing can gently caress you if people aren't carful, and ST himself is a butthole to melee until you learn how to mitigate it a bit. If the last boss of KV wasn't so laughably easy, his exanite blade shooting in last phase (during the orbs) can suddenly gently caress people in melee range too. My point is it's ok to mostly have easy rotations because there are considerations other than rotations. I also can't speak to raids because I haven't been to them!

fadam posted:EDIT: I just saw your edit. You understand they nerfed Rampage's damage again too, right? People are mad at more than just the dumbfuck AoE nerf. Double pulling Veteran groups with a Stalker tank and blowing them all up was a consistent way to save time on silver runs. Now Warriors are significantly worse at that. They did not nerf Rampages damage again. This was the nerf from a previous patch and the same notes were copied over, no values changed. The only new change is the Rampage target reduction. Patch from 7/15 contained all the identical notes for Warrior. https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/96899-update-notes-7152014/ Windchilla fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jul 31, 2014 |

How dare Carbine try to make things right for people whose progress was pushed back by a couple days while completely ignoring those who weren't affected in the slightest. In other news, finished attunement last night, so I got that going for me.

fadam posted:I don't understand why they're being so coy with numbers and cooldowns for Medic DPS, just give their single target spells a 10-15% boost in damage. From the research I've done, Medic DPS is "okay". There's a few problems, naturally: 1) During the Veteran process, Medic itemization takes an enormous dive. Almost all Excellent (purple) Medium Armour is itemized specifically for Stalkers. IIRC, Medic healers get one item and DPS get two items, overall. 2) During the Veteran process, while Medics can reach the DPS of other classes, it's usually through the usage of runes. Technophile, Assassin, and IIRC Tech Firestarter or something along those lines. 3) Once a Medic DPS has reached raid content and starts getting gear, the gap gets closed a little bit, making them a little bit more viable, with the following caveat: 4) Medic DPS is hard. Even after the changes to Gamma Rays (that's been put in by now, right?), Medics require, hands down, the most micro-awareness to handle their class resource, due to Actuator refunds boiling down to being RNG. Engineers are the only class that come close, but they have a lot more tools to keep their Volatility between 30 and 70. As a result, while their theoretical DPS comes pretty close to being acceptable, in practice most Medics will never achieve this DPS because of how hard and luck-based it is. Also, while Engineers are top DPS, they're top DPS that bring the least utility of any class. Warrior has Power Link, Stalker probably has something, and every other class has a Strikethrough buff.
