    SWTOR

    I think I'm one of the 12 people in the world that love the space missions, where you pilot your ship on rails and shoot enemy things. I don't know exactly why, but it's hylarious. It helps that my son loves to sit on my lap and helps me fight the evil imps with random rolls. I always...

    Whitevale alone killed any replayability in Wildstar for me.

    I canceled one week before the first billing cycle, yet I set my bar to "90% chance to never look at it again", not 100%. There are 2 or maybe even 3 classes that I like enough, but they are not the one I started with and the sole idea of doing that boring shit quest grind again, makes me puke...

    Guild Wars 2

    I'm the kind of player who doesn't mind questing, but sometimes too much is too much. WoW stramlined a lot and cut down the number of tasks significantly, Wildstar is so fucking bloated it makes me cry. Sometimes I could hand in 3 or 4 quests at once and the xp bar hardly moved, so I started...

    It doesn't, it didn't and there are some things that should be understood before repeating that same mantra over and over. WoW was growing during TBC and would have grown nonetheless, period. Difficulty had nothing to do with it, maybe and just maybe accessibility (in terms of 10 ppl raids)...

    Guild Wars 2

    Except I don't criticize GW2 as a whole, but the fact that some parts of it, arguably important, are not up to the others. GW2 levelling? Best I ever did. I still play GW2, that's the funny part, but it would take so little to obtain so much more... if you check my posts in this thread, I...

    Guild Wars 2

    No, not really. The PvE is as shit as it was, except worse. Progression in PvE should be based on loot dropped and not on tokens or worse in a bad grind of materials for crafting (who ever thought of crafting as good "raid" loot should go choke on a bag of cocks). Ascended armor is a silly...

    I bought this for 14 euros thanks to Steam sales, looking forward to playing some. I heard the various stories are well done, hope to get a couple weeks of fun at least. Anything important I should know before I start?

    Guild Wars 2

    I defended GW2 fiercely because it's a game I liked a lot and still like in pills. My stuff is map exploration, puzzles and things like that. I'd enjoy dungeons, but I fucking hate with a passion speed runs and trash exploiting (resetting or other means of skipping that are in my opinion a...

    Guild Wars 2

    Ranger is a good class, but not the best. If you want to run PvE dungeons and public events, it's good and does a good amount of dps, less than elementalists and thieves, but good nonetheless. Brings crit and frost spirit, plus ae heal+condition curing. In PvP they are strong, in solo they are...

    Depends really. Talking about dungeons, no clue about raids, but if all you do is running with very good dps that take little healing, T8 Soothe, T8 Banner, T4 Reverie. Adjust as you see fit, MoB is good as it is, T4 can be arguably decent, but I consider MoB emergency stuff and I don't use it...

    Banner is for focus concerns, Reverie can dry you out quite quickly if you just use that. Dps can take damage but can also sit in your soothe, align it in a way as friendly as possible to them, it takes 20 seconds of explaining and it'll be an easier life for everyone. Also you should consider...

    Guild Wars 2

    Contrary to popular belief, if you don't want the typical item progression, this is the best game around. If you crave progression at level cap, look elsewhere. I truly love this game, can't help it, but I play it sparingly and hardly care about ascended armor/weapon, which are quite grindy to...

    Make friends with Soothe, Banner and Reverie. Bolster on tank for fast psi, Mind over body for throughput, phant-armor is debatably good to buy time, cleanse and meditate based on encounters. I have a crush for Crush as well. For me the first 5 are the untouchables, rest varies. It can be proj...

    While playing the esper, the demand for a tank has raised a lot also in guild chat (add the eternal healer queue for dungeons). One thing that irks me is that the non healers are generally quite sucky at soloing prime mobs and let alone mobs intended for more than one player and this doesn't go...

    I like it, but grouping up is a fucking pain, most of the time if I log earlier or later than my friend, we can't see each other anymore for questing. Adventures and dungeons are fun at least, but queues are either bugged or eternal: 37 minutes for Ruins of Kel Voreth as healer? I gave up. It...

    First I don't think WS will be sub based forever, just a sensation. GW2 was nerfed so much from beta to live, it's barely the same game in terms of difficulty, but little timmies everywhere, etc. I think WS now poses a good challenge, I hope it remains the same, if it becomes retard-friendly, I...

    First world problems and all, but I agree that most of the quests in Wildstar are truly horrible, pretty much all those under the category "tasks". I prefer their challenges, when it's not just a kill so many of these shits in no time, but more like when it's hyper jump stuff and funny crap in...

    During beta the best was the stalker for a good while, but it was marginal. Warriors had enormous threat problems, which have been fixed by now (I think last large beta patch did that). Some among the things left to balance are dps tiers, as there is a large discrepancy between top dps and...

    Mouse over the skill, you'll see it has a telegraph, normally not visible, which is quite tiny and 30m long. If there is a target in it at the moment of the cast, it will always hit. You only need to get used to the telegraph, then it'll become second nature. It's quite hard to find such groups...

    Second last patch of beta had bots working a bit better, not sure what they changed on launch date, but the behaviour semmed to me a bit different. Engi is a great solo class, currently top tier dps if not the best. Medics on the other hand are lackluster with dps. The devs aknowledged this and...

    The game works fine with the 32 bit client, it's the 64 that caused issues. I have 4 addons installed, none of them interacts with unit frames, so yeah, I'll wait and see, may be some server related issue there. My video card is a different story: it's a 770 gtx asus direct cu, with dual fan...

    Last patch was a little disaster: I need to login a few times now (with the 2 steps procedure) because it gives me a network error. It crashed me twice with the 64bit client for memory errors, while the 32 worked flawlessly. The worst offender although was already happening pre patch and has...

    Levelling wise, the best experience I ever had was GW2, bar none, with the sole exception of vanilla wow/vanilla EQ2, but only because at the time it was new and fresh compared to grinding shit all the time. GW2 made it fun and rewarding to just go around killing everything that moved and...

    At level 11 try Psychic Frenzy, makes you mobile with lower dps and if you can't stand that either, reroll to spellslinger and save yourself some wasted time. TKstrike needs to become mobile, at least at T4 if not base. It just doesn't make sense to be penalized without advantage. Devs...

    Housing has an advantage: you teleport to it at the end of your playing session, you can logout there and when logging back in you can grab your 5% questing exp boost and the teleporter brings you back to where you were before.

    Exile side, the zone 15-23 is Galeras and while it starts out interestingly with a couple missions sabotaging dominion forces etc. after a bit it gets extremely dull with just a few interesting quests here and there.

    Healing as an esper is fun, this I can tell you, you can be fully mobile and stop casting only Mind over Body which has its uses, but it's certainly not a skill you spam. Soothe is the go-to heal and is very fun to use imo. I never had focus issues, even with low dps groups, but I'm not 50 yet...

    My biggest issue is that wildstar seems to send my vga to high temperatures and so far it's the only game that pushes it above 70 ?C. While it's true that room temp has raised a few degrees, it's really the only game pushing this hard on my rig, despite not being (apparently) the most demanding...

    @Sithro: Guides? Official forums for closed beta testers is your best bet. Generally speaking the warrior seems quite bland at dpsing, but it's a class I really don't like, so I never delved into its rotations or priorities.

    Yesterday I got to kill a low level world boss with my guild, 20 people, it was a glorious fucking mess and raid healing has definitely reached a new level of frustration: not only people don't move out of the fire, now they can move away from the heals, so a healer has to play a game of "guess...

    Most complaints about espers are because of two reasons: 1) Telekinetic strike: need to stand still for 1,25s to cast, which makes esper the only class that has to stand still to deal a good bulk of their damage. THe issue is that there is no higher dps here, you'll do on par with other...

    Explorer can use those flags to run at warp speed through zones, which is kinda fun, but it takes quite a lot of time to finish a whole zone with that path, nonetheless if your machine can handle it, running at that speed it's worth the price of the ticket, so to say. Soldier's the fastest to...

    Medic is currently low dps (2nd lowest apparently), most people don't roll to heal with it, so they will drop out and reroll to the fotm class, which now happens to be the engineer. It's also almost melee range and not a godly soloer to be honest. Healing with one is kinda fun (large...

    There are two mods that do just that: one is named Steer, the other I honestly forgot the name, but you can look it up on Curse. @Rescorla: there is no racial bonus of any kind. Just the looks.
