Hey guys, my friend and I are looking for an invite to the guild on Oasis. We put our names on the sheet at launch, but I never followed up and got us invited.
My name is Brois and his name is Hnngh. I will watch the thread and try to be on when someone that can invite is on.
Thanks!

I asked in Illuim zone where to get mount
Get invited to group
Asks me to come to their character
Gives me 20g
Disbands group
Pretty good day I guess.
Edit: Also, I am ignoring crafting. Any downsides to that?

Lucky!
So you did blow it at one place!
That was you?!?! Hah! I couldn't remember who it was and was just like "Screw it I'll take it and if I get banned I'll deal with it" lol... I knew the name was familiar but I couldn't remember.

He now gains 1 stack of armor during the eating phase each time you stun him. After it's over he rolls back to 2 armor. So you typically get 1 or 2 stuns off then and he's dead.
So basically you do the fight how you would expect it to be in the first place.
We have the healer and our strongest dps grab the food, then tank and the war stun and I dps during eat phase.

This game looks pretty great. Anyone have a spare guest pass? I promise that
I won't use it to roll an Aurin.
there's a 1.5% chance that

Should I just skip crafting during levelling? I am weaponsmith/miner.
It looks like blue weapons are basically a random "crit" for the most part during crafting?

Personal preference really. If you're under level 15 I'd say avoid it, otherwise you won't be able to afford your mount. If over 15 it's up to you, but it will be a currency and time sink.
I despise current MMO's because of this. It's all a race to the end game now.

You can blame the themepark style of 'most 'mmo's

The race to the end, the "real game", is something that has been bothering me for a while with modern mmorpgs. It doesn't even just stop at getting to the level cap of whatever game you are playing, but things like easy teleports everywhere no mater the class, right into dungeons even, from anywhere in the world. It's not just a race to the end, its a race to get to where you are going leaving out the journey part that I always found the most enjoyable.
Don't really think it's that. You could have longer designed themepark mmos again as well, it's just that for the most part the people playing the games now don't find the same things fun as I do and do want to just skip over any type of travel or slowing factor in a game. I do think it hurts themepark mmos more though since they are the ones that need newer bigger and better content when people are getting tired of the top level stuff there is currently. So yeah, I think it is more of an audience issue then a themepark vs sandbox issue.
I actually agree with you but I'm curious, what kind of leveling speed are you wanting? Vanilla WoW? FFXI?
theSlacker
Member
Somewhat of a mixture actually. The length of FF11, but where not everything takes a full party to get anything done or kill things of equal level. It is irrelevant though since I know my tastes don't have any mass market appeal and wouldn't be profitable. Vanilla WoW was really great for me, world design and speed wise, but mmorpgs aren't going back to that, much less adding even more world content to.
Definitely not going back to that, sadly. The only real bet for that kind of experience again is a good private server, but those just aren't there yet really.
With that said... the teleporting, instanced world, and general lack of cohesiveness of zones is probably my biggest complaint about the game. I pretty much never have to leave Illium to do anything, which makes me wonder why Carbine thinks anyone is going to spend a ton of plat on a hoverboard when they're hardly useful for anything other than getting from the AH to the crafting area.

Yea, instanced world and teleporting really kills games sense of world for me. I love open world games with none to very few instances.
theSlacker
Member
I don't mind instanced dungeons and designed encounters. Think a full open world game is going too far in the other direction for me since there is still stuff I enjoy about instances, just not on main world bits.
every zone that is actually next to each other is connected and can be walked to.
So, Blighthaven kinda sucks, Not sure if anyone else is actually enjoying the new zone.
There must have been a handful of quests and now all of them are groups of 5+. No one is ever on widow at AUS night time (i really should have gone the oceanic labeled one...) so it's just an empty place.
Is blight busy for anyone else here? Do you find yourself doing the events every day etc ?

Yea...Hero!!
Also, fuck crafting. I am selling all my commodities especially since I am a miner. cheaper to just buy new weapons from AH and easier too.

Question:
I bought blue claws from AH.
I equipped them and they turned white.
WTF?
Apparently I am not the only one: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/...ed-items-turn-into-white-no-stat-items/page-2
How the fuck is this big not fixed yet?

no but you may get absolutely raped by dominion or Exile players.
I had the worst time getting ganked, when I'm level 50 I'm going to the Exile starting place and getting my revenge.
I'm level 31 now and on Farside, more PVP encounters but handling them better now.
What zone are you in?
Just as a head's up, there are reports on Reddit that Carbine is charging people multiple times to renew their subscription (one guy was billed $14.99 six times, others reporting three or four, I believe). Check your bank accounts.

They tweeted yesterday they got it resolved iirc, unfortunate if that's not the case.
I liked the main questline, some really fun ones in there and it was fairly short with a lot less annoying task stuff and more other stuff. The 5 man quests require a bit of work to get a group for, but there's not much else to it. Definitely doing the tree and scorchwing daily - they have really nice rewards sometimes and it's easy to get em done. Scorchwing also counts for the attunement world bosses, and the tree (for now) completes if you're anywhere in the zone when it's done, so it's easy to just afk there if you need.

Are you NA? I can send you a guest pass and you can try it out. It's actiony, but it's still very much an MMO.

I liked the original EQ where ports were a class specific skill.
Azzurri
Member
I do too, when certain class have skills only that class can do, but I get why they do what they do now. People just don't have the patience so everyone can basically do everything in MMO's now.
The EQ druid was the most awesome class ever. Norrath's Transportation Service!

Guest passes.

Oh, sweet. Didn't notice either! If only we could costume other weapons on our characters. I'd love to shoot lasers from a sword on my Medic.
I renewed this morning and got 6 emails but luckily only got charged once.

Well, didn't get a trial code offer and didn't feel like groveling, so just jumped in headfirst instead for $45 (GMG voucher discount).
Looking forward to trying this out this weekend.
Any mandatory add ons I should be looking out for and suggested PvP realms on NA side?
