    Decursive was mercifully axed early in WoW's life.

    I'd disagree that mods have made Blizzard's boss design all that lazy.

    I really wish classes weren't race locked.

    This whole decision would be much easier if I could just make a Draken Esper or something.

    I suspect when they fix that issue (wasn't it because of needing time to do all the animations?) they will have free race changes for a few days. So, pick the class you want and hopefully the race will follow?

    I do agree it is silly, kinda wanted to be a space zombie esper.

  • BeezelBeezel There was no agreement little morsel..Registered User regular
    Yeah they said it wasn't for something lame like lore reasons. They were just on a time table and had to make some decisions about what to animate within the budget. They themselves have expressed a desire for chua warriors and such.

    I think I'm going to be a Human. WHich isn't something I ever do in MMOs.

    But being a regular old human in a world of weirdos in space seems kinda fun.

  • KarozKaroz Registered User regular
    But...but I like lore reasons.

    Although, I did always enjoy my male orc rogue sneaking about and Mechari Stalker scratches that itch, I can only imagine a Granok Stalker in all its unsubtle glory.

  • reVersereVerse Attack and Dethrone God Registered User regular
    Well, they don't have lore reasons, they have production reasons.

    Trust me, that is just the lore person in me putting up a fuss.

    I look forward to our glorious Granok Stalker/Draken Esper/Chua Warrior future.

    Plus Chua Warriors aren't against lore.

    They're just Chua who've decided the best use of SCIENCE is to hit people with fusion-powered greatswords and wield a power gauntlet.

    Granok Stalkers are those who like to stab people with pointy things and found an extra-large plus size nanotech active-camouflage suit.

    Granok aren't too picky about how they kill a dude I would imagine.

    EDIT: Alright I got vent set up. So I guess I'm ready for the weekend :D

    Well, the argument is that if you have mods giving all kinds of assistance to players, if you don't design encounters with those mods in mind, the encounters can be trivial for those who use the mods. But if you do, then it's punishing for those who don't use mods.

    Most mods just have timers for When Shit Happens and the shit is normally telepgraphed in-game via a fancy graphic and loud voiceover. It's certainly useful, but it doesn't impact raid design like Decursive did.

    trying to decide what I want to do on Nexus this weekend, I have a chua spellslinger who is level 7, or I was thinking about rolling an Esper to check them out.

    I will most likely be pvping all weekend while on the PA vent server, so feel free to keep an eye out for me.

    I'll probably decide my class based on the fact that I can be a Draken. They've got stuff goin' on, and I like that stuff.

    so on the nexus guild? pure Dominion characters or Exile also?

    debating whehter to plan jsut Dom characters for that server or not

    It's really hard for me to imagine a male Draken as something besides a stalker with those sloth arms. Hopefully the body options will change that. (not the same thing but somewhat related)

    G&T Community Vent Server, info can be found here:
    forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/39448/pa-forums-ventrilo-server-there-s-also-a-teamspeak-server/p1
    There is a password on the server, and it is the usual password for these types of things. If you have no idea PM me and I'll give it to you.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cWhaTldG3k

    Warplots are massive 40v40 battle royales, accessible to all players once they hit level 50. Each team starts with a fortress that they can upgrade and customize with a vast assortment of modifications using special currency called War Coins.

    Victory is achieved by either destroying the enemies’ generators or through killing players and disabling structures. At the end, both teams are rewarded with Loot Bags, Prestige and Elder Gems.

    Warplots are a seamless blend of life’s two greatest pleasures:
    Property ownership and loser ownership.

    UNITE. BUILD. FIGHT. WIN.

    I really like the idea of taking bosses or big monsters from PVE into PVP

    mildly related from CRB_Buiden
    One of the things we're specifically looking into addressing is all the combat floater clutter (especially for CC states). After I saw the last warplot video that got posted it became apparent that it was a little overwhelming.

    Is this one of those games where you can only have 1 side on each server? Like if you roll Exile you can only be Exile on that server? Because I want to mess with both Rock men and Robot Ladies

    If it allows them to kill people, the class isn't against chua lore.

    It's kind of exciting to stay tuned to a thread that has pages and pages of people talking about how they can't wait to play/need to play Wildstar. It's so different from...the typical MMO thread.
