I'm gonna need two hands for this
"...only mights and maybes."
"...only mights and maybes."
You know, as absolutely not-hardcore as I am, I really am glad that this game is delivering (or at least appears to be) on such a high level for the folks who do love that kind of content. The raids seem to be a love letter to the exact people who feel that raids in other MMOs are too easy these days. It's not for me, but to the people who dig that stuff, I sincerely hope you enjoy it - Carbine looks like they really went out of their way to make those things incredibly chaotic and complex.
I feel if they can eventually iron out their rocky start, the game is more or less perfect for people like me. It pushes all my buttons once content gets rolling. I think a failing of carbine's is that from an early level they offer you alternatives for the quest grind. They want you doing something new every 5 levels but they don't walk you to it and to someone completely new to mmos it can be a bit of a drag not knowing what your options are.
"...only mights and maybes."
Any player who is too stuck in their ways and their gaming traditions to notice said options.
"...only mights and maybes."
What's more is that eventually (at 50 and through using elder gems) you can unlock 2 more sets for a total of 4.
Its a small gripe though, because the game has mods that can fix all that.
I did find a mod that made the floating lifebars actually useful so that the NUMBER TEXT is not there. It was just so bad in PVP when I could barely see the actual health bar due to the text covering it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"...only mights and maybes."
It used to take 6 seconds to start regening shield. That was surprisingly easy to do in pvp and meant you could basically refill your health bar with some minor effort.
I just wanna see the BAR and no text on it, so when I attack something I get intant feedback of what is happening. Having text cover parts of that bar and me being colorblind make it a pain.
I have a mod now though, which fixes it and its all good.
I do like that they added colorblind options in the game for telegraphs. They need options to adjust some of the darkness in those colors I think... my issue should be with the reds, but because some of the colorblind options give me a light ass green or something, its just as hard for me to see as the red because at least the red is really dark. I feel like I see them all ok enough, but then again I dont know what it looks like to a non-colorblind person.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"...only mights and maybes."
Its good to see the effort is there and they aware that some people will straight up need it to get serious with endgame.
There have been some puzzle games that I literally cant win at due to a piece that has purple in it and I can't see the red hue in there so it looks blue. Super Puzzle Fighter, one of the few games my wife will play because she beats me easily while I'm busy trying to match blue and purples together. If you're gonna make a puzzle game, include shapes with the colors...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"...only mights and maybes."
Queue someone somewhere complaing about how that makes it too easy and lets people get it who "don't deserve it."
Get the flavor in your mouths.
"...only mights and maybes."
That would only be 10am PDT. I mean I guess you can start refreshing an hour early but it won't get you far.
So, yeah. Refresh for an hour. That's the trick, see. They really want you to earn that reservation.
"...only mights and maybes."
Little known fact: Raids aren't the only thing that are only for the hardcore.
Shut down my comp before work this morning. Maybe a good restart will fix it.
I think I wanna run a ton of the level 20 dungeons tonight. I just was watching a vid of a run and realized even after like 5 runs of each already I still get excited to do them. They are just... legitimately FUN.
Did the patch that dropped last night make some improvements?
Switch: SW-1493-0062-4053
You must be this hardcore to reserve a name in Wildstar.
From the patch notes:
Who knows what was actually done, and these improvements may not help everyone, but I imagine each patch from now till launch will contain that line, heh.
"...only mights and maybes."
@Tulabelle you can wear any level appropriate piece of armor even if you are a class that normally wouldn't be wearing it.
"...only mights and maybes."
After that it's playing pretty pretty princess dress-up since I can costume all the things.
Only after those two interests are satiated do I even care about vet dungeons, raids, and pvp.
And someone gave me a credit card and called me an adult.

I only chose Cassian because Mechari aren't allowed to be Espers. I've never been big on the Tiny Fluffball of Death so that restricted my race choice quite a bit.
Hey cool, if you'd like to be part of the PA guild remember to add yourself to the spreadsheet.
