They shortened the boring island zone that you are talking about by quite a bit.


With said, someone needs to quote more Wildstar spergs or something so we can get back to what this thread does best.

Why am I doing more damage than new players when I am in full endgame raid gear and they are below max level in questing greens???? CASUAAAAALS

quote:

Dungeons do not need to be nerfed. Players need to be ready for dungeons. When I do queue, I'm in DS gear so I can't dps as much as I would like due to the tank being in Lvl 48 greens and having 25k health as a tank. Can't expect to breeze through a dungeon in that case. Same for healer and dps. When I do tank, and doing as much dps in tanking as dps, than something is wrong with the dps and hard to approach them and ask them if their build is right or gearing up correctly without them getting butthurt.

Hmmm, why would someone compare a 5 man dungeon in one game to a 5 man dungeon in another? Detective Wildstar must know!

quote:

Problem with nerfing normal kv and stl is that, what are we supposed to do while leveling? I for example basically only run those dungeons for a good portion of my leveling, if they'd be easier they'd loose their replayability very quickly.
You compare Deadmines and STL, why not compare Shiphands and Deadmines? Shiphands are instances and now also in the LFG.

Did they ever change the quests to not require you to kill an absurd amount of mobs? I remember getting to the 2nd zone as whatever faction started in the snowy zone and getting quests to kill loving 30+ mobs regularly, it was like they'd hosed up and added a zero where they shouldn't have. Add to this that every single fight involved dodging telegraphs and dealing with the interupt armor mechanic, it became an ordeal just to level up.

There were a bunch of quests that were designed to accumulate your monster kills while you did several other quests. That is, you were handed Kill 100 Rats and Pick Up 5 Rocks, and you were intended to do the rocks one, turn it in, and get Pick Up 5 Red Rocks, while still killing rats the whole time. The Kill 100 Rats should be done about the time you're finished with the other chain.

The problem was that you had to read the devs' minds to know this in advance, instead of doing both quests to start with.

I want a quest that tells me to farm mobs in a certain zone for two hours and it only ticks down while I'm standing in it, and if I leave the zone it resets, and there are enemies that push me out of the zone, and the enemies are worth zero xp, and your progress bar resets if you don't kill one every minute

Now, I hope you won't feel the need tuber-ate me for not addressing this sooner. The root of this particular issue is complex, and I can't shallot a whole bunch of information about it at this point. Lettuce review the main questions:
1) Is the Carrot Sproutling available? Yes. Technically.
2) Are we happy with the acquisition means? It could be better.
We're working on it, though I can't leek anything further. Hopefully we'll produce a solution that will help that particular pet turnip.<

The only saving grace about the kiddy animal race is their armor has a unique look. The three flavors of adult human females have ridiculous things like tit windows with patches of cloth over their nipples. The same outfit on the animal people covers everything.

If you have an Xbox One you could also try Neverwinter. The combat is fun on a gamepad, but the downside is that everything else about that game is a bit lame.

I won't say Neverwinter is a bad game, but before anyone gets sucked into it too far, try Tera also. Neverwinter's gameplay is very much like Tera's except Neverwinter's action has cement shoes. Also Neverwinter has some really awesome zone design but you will never have any sense of exploration in it (if you care about that) because the zones are so small.
