People join goon guilds to latch onto players that are more try-hard than they are. They want to raid the guild bank and get carried through raids and PvP. Also the line about goons being "more civil and not x-ist" is a complete farce.

RottenK posted:Every single time goons decided to split into several different guilds, the eventual bleed of players who the game failed to really grab left most or all of these guilds half-empty and unable to get enough people to do endgame content. Yes. (this is why factions are loving terrible) but we need a specific main goon side and everyone has to acknowledge their special snowflake none main side will be mostly dead in a month or two.

Asimo posted:You can publicly shame idiots in the guild in a place they're guaranteed to read? I never see that happen. The goon guilds that I have joined typically have rules about importing guild drama on to the forums and rightfully so. I think that it might have more to do with a sense of comradery(as superficial as it is) and already established community relationships. On that note, I really do not like factions in MMOs for these reasons. I dislike most MMO features which end up dividing the player base and form social barriers.

I like goon guilds because I've met almost everyone who plays mmos with goons over the years. It has nothing to do with being good or bad at the game or less xist or whatever. I just tend to like the community, and I know exactly what to expect from its various members. I don't really care which faction we play on because I'm gonna be a human warrior either way because I can't be a chua warrior. C'mon carbine, lemme be a hamster with a gravestone for a 2-hander. You know you want to.

Supposedly, the plan is to eliminate race-based class restrictions. Something about not having enough time to animate each class for each race, but idk.

Mount Desert posted:Supposedly, the plan is to eliminate race-based class restrictions. That's one of the primary reasons for the race/class restrictions, yeah. Each race and gender is on its own unique rig, which means two sets of animations per class for every race (except the Chua). We didn't have the time to dedicate to that by launch.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Warrior feels really rough right now in general. I know people have been saying they're insane at higher levels with gear, but I'm worried we'll hit the whole EQ style classes get buffed and nerfed or lack thereof based on the performance of the top 5%. I'd rather they do that instead of balancing a class based on the bottom 75% like with deathknight in Wrath. I Pulled that number out of my rear end, but I was tanking just fine in Naxx, Ulduar and sartharion +3 on my DK when almost every forumpost said that DKs were squishy, couldn't hold threat and did less damage then other tanks...

Patch notes for anyone that gets their WildStar news from this thread. e: quote:The launcher's size has been reduced to fit on Chua-sized screens. This is great. A lot of people were complaining that the launcher was bigger than their laptop screens and how dare Carbine.

I didn't see it mentioned in the past few pages. According to the Dev blog, if you have been in any of the previous beta's, including the weekend ones, you don't need a new key to get into the new one starting tomorrow. Just need to patch up and log in.

In regards to late-night players and Aussies having realms labelled as Oceanic: CRB_Cougar: This is happening. I've always said it made a lot of sense to do this. We've just been having trouble getting all of the bugs worked out in the technology to label the realms. Assuming there will be loads of people for Open Beta that will make me open up more realms, the two Oceanic (PVE and PVP) will be two of the first additional ones I open.

I'm confused by the Wildstar account management. I bought a code from GMG, so I own the game but I'm also not eligible to upgrade to the Deluxe edition, so I guess I have to assume that purchasing a game key in this manner didn't count as a pre-order for the purpose of the headstart or goofy stuff like the rocket house? Also it seems to imply that my 30 free days are already ticking down?? I guess I'll have to ask Support about that. Or would drawing attention to my circumvention of NCSoft's/Carbine's region segregation be bad? The reason I didn't buy through the Wildstar site is that they know where I live and wouldn't let me buy a NA version to play with a bunch of friends I have in the US timeszones

I activated on May 3rd, and account management shows my first billing cycle on July 6th, which seems to match up with a launch date of June 3rd plus one free month +- a few days.

I wouldn't worry about going around their region selection, it's probably mostly so they don't get a bunch of people crying about lag to the support teams than anything. I had both a European and US key on my World of Warcraft account for years and they never gave a poo poo about it, so if NCSoft gets pissy about it that's silly. edit: Don't want to make another post but I gotta link this, the forums are full of panicky Petes: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/41041-overflow-please-no/ Seriously, they are making GBS threads bricks over the idea of instancing zones in very high load situations so that the servers don't crap themselves, with cries of "zomg world pvp".

It's kind of hilarious to read someone say that they thought they were an intelligible and sociable teen in their UO days and talk about how people who can't pay to play subscription model MMOs are peasants though and that they are the "others" who need to be kept out.

Then the next next thread over these same jackasses will spin theories about maybe Wildstar being the real WoW-killer for sure this time?? Come on shitheels, you can't jack off to how Wildstar's group/raid content will expose and shame the bads that have been coddled for TOO LONG in MMOs and then have totally unrealistic expectations about the game's mass appeal Or is the whole WoW-killer narrative just par for the course for any new MMO's forum? The last one I got in on the ground floor (closed beta etc) with was CoH and obviously 'WoW-killer' wasn't a thing yet so I'm genuinely curious.
