Ok, but nothing you just said sounds like a bad thing to me. Basically what you're saying is 'The game just came out, it's different in certain ways and will take a good amount of people to get used to the mechanics' all those things will become easier for people to do. Expecting to just jump into a dungeon at 20 and destroy it should not be the mindset of someone who plans to succeed in this game. There will be wipes and they should be expected in a game like this.

If you click on the Bots' health under your Character Panel it should bring up the Bots' target panel with a red "x". Just click that and the bot will despawn.
That being said, the "Stop" button on the Bot control panel became my best friend, I press that thing every so often and it resets the Bot to me. But yeah, at the moment Bots are kind of useless, especially in PvP.

Oh, he's not saying it's bad. I totally agree. I've have a lot of fun just trying to succeed, but I'm also not an instant gratification need an Oompa Loompa now kind of player. I enjoy trying to figure out fights, learn what isn't going right and where I can improve, and helping others do the same. I've done both the starter dungeons and honestly those six main boss fights are some of the most fun I've had in a MMO in a very long time. Did they take us a lot of time? Yes. Did we wipe a whole fucking lot? Yes. Did I actually get excited and feel some accomplishment when we won? Abso-fucking-lutely. It gives me the same feeling that a game like Monster Hunter does, and I love that feeling.
Oh I'm not saying it's bad at all, I love the dungeons. What I don't love is people flat out not listening to what anyone says and then ragequitting instantly cause the game isn't easy.
Where are my free epics Carbine? I deserve them.

Thinking about re rolling Engi from SS. I'd like to play Warrior but with 280ms(In game, so probably like 400ms latency according to an earlier post) a melee class is pretty much a no go.

I have never had the transition from the 2nd to the 3rd phase lead to a wipe as far as I can remember. But if it really is such a problem, use Emergency Reserves. Interrupt armor is not exclusively for mobs.

Along with addons now crashing everynow and then when I go to look at my skills or something, the game also refuses to close properly. I hit exit game, leave now and it just hangs. I have to tab out, kills processes (Which says "Not Responding").
The addon error is always something to the effect of "So and so addon.xml took longer than 2500 ms to load blah blah sorry bro"

Can't help with your question but have one myself about Pingzapper. When choosing the server should I be choosing something that gives me a low ping or choosing something close to the actual wildstar servers?
EDIT: I chose Singapore which in the app listed at 150ms. In-game it showed me with 1ms. Don't think that worked properly.
I had found this link but got an error message. Switched language to english and it worked =_=
Thank you!
I just now decided to watch some videos for this. I haven't played an MMO since Guild Wars 1, and this looks amazingly fun (kinda annoyed there's a subscription, but whatever).

I'm loving Medic but it is really tough to heal alone. I'm having to try and position myself right in the middle of a fight so that I can try and hit everyone, but a lot of people still jump around like lunatics and get out of healing range, especially when mobs cast abilities.

I'm leaning Chua Medic, actually. Looks fun.
I've got 3x EU guest passes for anyone interested. Let me know and I'll send it in a PM.
I'm interested

Very interested
I figured out my problem, I was choosing servers closest to Carbine and it was fritzing out. Just chose the closest lowest ping and everything is smooth sailing now with 230ms average, can actually dodge queues now yay!

^lmao. Anyways when do you get to the capital on the dominion side? I got to level 14 and want to start animal crossing lol.
Whenever you want, just hop on a taxi.
I don't really have a problem with the bots. The bruiserbot taunt is very helpful as an opener. Yeah, you do have to babysit them, but I have gotten used to switching them to passive at times and using the stop button like you said.
Bruiserbot is really useful for explorers actually. They have a habit of sticking explorer items/points right underneath primes or even more powerful mobs. Sic the bruiserbot on them and that gives you the needed time to get in there, do your thing and get out.
I have hit a bug where I have spawned two bruiserbots at the same time a few times.
You could try to explain what you didn't like?
I don't think you're going to find many people like that 2000 posts into an official thread.
Also, why don't you like what you've seen?
Enemies auto attack. This damage is unavoidable, however, the damage is not nearly as devastating as the telegraph attacks. Also, it's in the OP.
Npcs still have some attacks that are not telegraphed and are more or less unavoidable unless you're way out of range (you could call it an autoattack).
Before I played the game, I had doubts about the combat... although having now put in about 10 hours with my human warrior build, I think it works quite well. Sound effects are good, it really sounds like I am smashing a huge sword in somebodies face.
Enemies auto attack. This damage is unavoidable, however, the damage is not nearly as devastating as the telegraph attacks. Also, it's in the OP.
Ah, ok. So the enemies' attacks are divided into two types then.
As for the OP, I wasn't quite sure what "auto-attack" meant in this context.
Yeah. I guess on paper it looks kind of unfair, but in practice it works quite well.
Definitely a gamechanger for me. WS went from okay to goddamn awesome with Hold to Cast. Especially on Warrior!
It's hard to explain the difference but with the emphasis being on movement here, spamming keys just doesn't mesh well with that. But it's easy to hold down 1 as an "autoattack" and keep moving at the same time.

I'm going to start playing this weekend, and was wondering if anyone has tried driver-level downsampling and/or supersampling. I see that there used to be an option in the UI called render target scale that when set to anything over 1 was essentially downsampling, but it looks like that setting was moved to the user.ini file. I tried setting it there, but every time I booted the game the .ini file would reset so I'm not sure what's up.
