I was disappointed with those level 15 mounts because of how slow they feel. Apparently they are the same speed as the hover board but it feels faster.

there's apparently a bug where a gold run can turn into bronze, but i haven't seen it yet.
we got gold a few times today by capping flags conservatively and waiting to see what champions spawn, then altering the strategy therefrom. there is a pretty large range of difficulty with different champions (lol doctor mendwell). if you get double moodie optionals with the wrong champions it's really annoying.
Uh ya that part I knew, I meant 2 zones in the first content patch, they kept saying 1.
It's coming first week of July.

On the subject of C.R.E.E.D. Do people think its worth buying and selling some now to get good amount of money now? Or should I hold off a month until the prices goes up with the larger growing economy?

I was in the middle of doing a Explorer mission and I came across this Curse of Monkey Island reference.
Pretty cool of them to put that in there.

The Strain update sounds great!
I knew they had lots of content in the works for post-release but was not expecting to see an update like this quite so soon, or at least not as big as the Strain appears to be. Very impressed.
Haven't had much time for playing this week due to some RL stuff (my Dad is in Intensive Care atm :/) so I've not reached level 50 just yet. Not that I'm in a rush or anything. Good to know there will now be even more content for me to sink my teeth into when I get there though.

Just found out the Level 50 epic gun for DPS Engineer is a random world drop. Who's the genius who thought that was a good idea? 
Almost every other class epic is reachable through group content...
I think GMG is the cheapest atm, you can get 20% off most of the time (if you check some streamer on twitch they have links to the coupons). Apparently there's even cheaper on some other website for the EU keys but it looked kind of shady so I went with GMG.

Standard Edition - £25.90
Like them on Facebook for another 5% off. I purchased my copy through them before launch and had no problem. Pretty sure I used them for Dark Souls II as well.

Only level 13 (dont have time to play MMOs like i used too :/) but this game seems amazing, and i hear it only gets better as you level up
Looking forward to getting a house/mount. Oh and leaving the first zone!!
Well done Carbine

Wow that does look good. I hope they add in the ability to change your guys look in game. Maybe even change race for $ eventually.

Awesome! Can I see this if I'm not an explorer? Where is it?

I would say a Medic is probably decently close to a disc priest. They have a lot of utility and use absorbs.
I have this weird thing going on where when I try to target a Ground Target skill, it somehow keeps centering on the middle of my screen when I click, like it is using the middle of my screen to aim the ability instead. So whenever I try to target something on the side, it misses, often just placing the AOE on my feet instead since I usually have a slightly downward perspective.
Anyone know what I might have clicked on?

It's a bug. No matter where you place it, it will place it at your feet as you've noticed. I believe they're fixing it soon.
Ah okay, luckily I play a Spellslinger so there are only 2 or so abilities affected by this, I'll survive.
I only played an Esper until 20 in Beta but defiantly felt it played more like a priest than my medic.
Also that is because the Esper plays like a traditional healer
also is there any secret to the last few levels? I find the quests are few and far between and purposely go out of the way to slow you down (open 30 cages, escort 10 soldiers 1 at a time, ride the worlds slowest platform to disable 15 power generators...). I've done all the 5 man so far, I'm at 47.5 atm but it is starting to annoy me. The game was already a grind which I accepted

I would say Esper is close to a holy priest, but maybe not a disc priest. Granted, i've not played a disc priest since Wrath so i'm not exactly an expert on the class. I was thinking disc priest is more reliant on absorbs and utility than flat healing, which would be closer in concept to the Medic imo, but Esper definitely plays more like a regular healer.
I actually found the last few levels to be pretty fast. The Grimvault zones were fairly compact, and then i dinged 50 in Crimson Badlands.
thx,
He had mentioned a holy or disc priest. That was my main class in WOW
Specifically because of the targeted shield and AOE spells made the esper feel very priest like ; )
again I only made it to 20 so very early impressions with the esper

I'm sure you can find the skull but I don't know if you'll be able to interact with it. It's on Deradune and here's a map where I circled the area to look.

Best work-around for this is to use the hotkey to activate and target the skill. At least in my experience, this bug always happens when I activate with a hotkey and then target with a mouse-click.
I don't what level you are, but there is a world story quest where this information will be VERY handy. Hotkey to activate, hotkey to target!

I'll have to check that out, I wondered what was up there. Thanks!
Yeah I'm kind of torn on credd too. I went ahead and put up one credd for 4 plat. Right now they seem to be going for around 2 plat, 80 gold. I'm sure come July the prices will go way up though...surely.

Thinking about jumping in. Whats the general consensus with the game? Has it improved since beta?
TharpDaddy

Seems to be a really positive reception to it so far. Dan Tack from Game Informer, for example, said "And if you like MMORPGs, WildStar is seriously awesome."
The main issues with the game ATM seem to be that there are some annoying bugs for some of the classes, and that the Veteran (equivalent of heroic or hard mode in other game) Adventures are hit or miss. Some of them have bugs, or insane requirements, or other issues. They're aware and working on this, thankfully.
It's really hard to say if it's improved since beta since that's a really broad question. It would be easier to answer if you could say specifically what you're looking to have improved since beta.

i play medic after playing disc priest in vanilla wow and they do share some of the same mechanics. medics have a much shorter range, but the movement, shields, tick heals, and timing of bomb heals reminds me of pvping during the gm grind. it's a lot of fun and i'm really happy with the class after having rolled it pretty much blindly at release.
The Strain is up for PTR it looks and here's the massive patch notes. https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/80328-ptr-update-notes-feel-the-strain-109-6192014/#entry808958

Bit gutted to wake up to find the servers down for maintenance. Guess I'll have to practise my coding until they're back up.
On the plus side part 1 of Strain Ultradrop has a website now: http://wildstar-online.com/en/drops/1/strain/

If you have multiple characters, delete the first you made, and then make a new one, that new one gets placed at the top in place of the first character that was made. Really odd.
Edit: Seems logging out fixes it.

Awesome finally got to the first dungeons!
...tank is an idiot
...tank has no gear
...tank leaves after first wipe
FFXIV all over again. I knew I should've rolled tank. Time to remake I guess. lol
I don't want to play as a tank (despite loving the class) because I hate myself at endgame as I'm often stuck tanking everything because the class is always in high demand.

Stormtalon is pretty hard, I was significantly held back as a warrior because I didn't have my real taunt during that dungeon. They give warriors their 4 second temporary taunt (which is useless on the first boss after he shifts into third phase, your healer will still be at the top of the list) early on instead of their taunt that places them permanently at the top of the threat list. I know engineers get theirs way earlier.
Also got my epic (purple) dps sword from War of the Wilds, turns out it was just buggy but I've done it on gold a few times since then. Working on my tanking sword next. Man rune slots are expensive to unlock.
