Carbine is doing 3 days of WildStar streaming with special guests.

Speaking of this Towelliee will be doing a live launch party stream starting at 7PM PST tomorrow. Tons of giveaways.

Plushies from the game, 20 digital versions of the game, items from razer, etc. Lots of stuff. His launch parties are usually pretty awesome.

I may miss out though as I plan on napping prior to the launch lol

I really hope Towelliee sticks with WildStar for awhile. His viewership will bring in some much needed publicity and hopefully keep it relevant on Twitch.

...and that's it. Servers are down until headstart.

That's my sleep time! Going to try to sleep from around 10PM to around 2AM or so.

 

[Ferny]

My plan is to sleep from about 9-10pm and then wake up at 2:30am. Get my snacks ready and play the day away.

I have a feeling he will. He's got a 80 man hardcore raiding guild set up and plans on going full on for the game. He'll probably go back to wow with their expansion.

That raises a good question. I wonder if Carbine will try to push out the new raid close to Draenor's release date so in order to remain an enticing option to raiders?

He'll always go back to WoW. I remember he stuck with FF14 2.0 and SWTOR for awhile. I like his stream, I'll tune in a bit to his launch stream.

About time. The teasing started to get annoying!

Going Granok/Warrior now after trying out a few more things. Being able to tank stuff turned out to be pretty useful.

Dammit all, I was doing my UI now so I didn't have to at launch. Was almost done too.

Dammit all, I was doing my UI now so I didn't have to at launch. Was almost done too.

I did that and all my keybindings, etc, this morning.

Though I haven't really fought anything to test interrupt addon out yet so I'll have to mess with that post launch.

I don't even think you need that add-on. With the implementation of cast bars, it should be easy enough to interrupt.

This states what is interruptable and what isn't, etc. It's a really nice addon from what I hear.

Ahhh, I see. Sounds pretty solid then.

I was messing around with it a little bit today and it worked perfect for me. It's a great add on that I think everyone will use.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I might check out addons a bit after release. There's none i really need off the top of my head.

bijiplates, amp location and junkit are amazing. If you're into pvp, don't use Trackmaster, it's essentially cheating.

 

[Jag]

So what Paths look like the most fun? I think I'm going Explorer except that I heard the mounts are kind of slow. I kinda hate running around slow, but I like the port you get at level 10.

You just don't know you need them yet.

I've heard good things about bijiplates, but haven't people been having issues with it recently? I very rarely PVP, but the amp location one sounds great.

I use them and haven't had an issue yet. Trackmaster is fine for PvE.

ya I leave trackmaster turned off unless theres something specific I need to find and can't locate it in the pve questing

 

[Ravijn]

I'm going to have to add that one. Just took a look at it and it looks very helpful.

I'm going scientist mainly for the group port.

Same here though the translocate* ability from the Explorer path seems like it would be helpful too.


*I think that's what it's called.

 

[Gaston]

I really want to try this game out, but my laptop ran it like absolute garbage during open beta. I had everything on very low, and my laptop still ran very hot, not that I would like to run it looking like that anyway. Unfortunately I won't be getting my desktop until September.

 

[Maybesew]

Random question, does this game have controller support?

 

[TharpDaddy]

Not officially. There's a link to a 3rd party solution in the OT.

 

[Ravijn]

No native support but people have rigged it..

Gamepad support

Settler seems cool to keep buffs up pretty much thr whole time, but not decided on that just yet.

Damn Ferny, you got hot...

Does anyone know if the pvp amp stats are additives?

 

[Ferny]

Lol you're the fireman!

Make me a special guest on your stream bro. I'll be the guy in PVP that sucks!

I enjoy settler. The buff stations are quite nice.

 

[Baskcm]

Can't believe I'm at work all weekend ah well off Monday to hit the game hard

 

[Somnia]

For those who were asking or interested, Acolytes have named our server. We will be rolling Dominion on Widow.

We weighed Widow and Pergo and felt Widow was better for our community. Both have a lot of hardcore raid guilds, but the addition of the Oceanic playerbase on Widow helped our decision a lot also I believe (24/7 world pvp and we have quite a few Austrlian players also).

What time does this launch? I work at 7am EST. but I want to download and patch the latest build so I don't have to do that when I get home

I love how much work Carbine is putting into twitch and YouTube. Building a strong online community is so important for a subscription mmo.

Yup and it also means they don't have to spend a ton of money on advertising because they'll have great word of mouth.

I hope we can preload...I have the beta client but I dont want to have to download 20 gigs on the morning of

You can download it now.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but have you guys chosen a server for the GAF guild yet??

[Kalnos]

Rolling on Pergo.

More of you need to roll on Widow.

Widow here. It seems to be the unofficial oceanic PvP server.

First time i'm hearing this. I just thought it was just the 2nd most popular server.
