It has been 5 weeks since CBT2 started, right? And, I remember one of the devs tweeting last week about getting patch notes together. Really hoping for CBT3 to start today, along wish a fresh wave of invites!

I also think the combat looked a bit more intense then it really is because he was doing a 5 man dungeon by himself therefore all the bosses abilities was focused on him plus everything else. Instead of rotating between 5 people.

Thanks Obama is a meme, and really has nothing to do with politics. It comes from everyone blaming Obama for everything, thus THANKS OBAMA for silly shit on the internet.

CBT3 is going to patch today. I bet we get patch notes for Wildstar Wednesday.

Also check your e-mails and spam folders, they sent out another batch of invites apparently. Most likely to stress testers.

Bah I hate these post. I get all excited go check e-mail and always have nothing. I'd much rather just randomly check my e-mail and go from bleh to excited :p

Starting to get concerned that they still haven't added the two other classes to beta yet. They will most likely be OP or gimped as fuck because of limited testing.

It's PR. They are waiting for the big reveal at Gamescom/PAX. I wonder how much traction you actually get from a class reveal at this point in development?

Target launch is probably what November/December I would guess? Unless they run into some really rough problems. So 5-6 months. Yeah I would hope to see new classes in the next 2 months to give them any kind of testing and balancing.

Edit : Completely forgot about that(to what draegan said). That makes much more sense, leave a reveal like that to a big convention.

Edit2: I like this line right at the start of those notes : "Expect many testers to discover effective griefing methods during this beta phase." Since its the first time its both factions at once.

I wouldn't think much considering that people who really wanted to know already do.

I would think you would want to reveal classes outside of game conventions. At a show, you're gonna get press no matter what. You can at least extend interest with class reveals inbetween big events.

Shrug. In the end it doesn't really matter. I wonder if Wildstar has two test groups. Like the Sekret Alpha and the regular beta people.

Necro/pet class is missing so that will be one of them at least. Also leaves me hope they will rip the bloodmage class almost straight from vanguard. That or we will see another bard type class.

Hmm thought thought the 2 missing were engi/medic? Based on looking through the client(which anyone was able to DL).

They have to implement some kind of tech based class. I mean right now you have:

Standard Warrior
Standard Rogue (Stalker)
Standard Mage (Spellslinger, Mage with a heal spec)
Standard Mage2 (Esper which is a Mage with illusiony based spells and heals)

The only difference is the Spellslinger uses pistols with their animations.

Seems bland to me. I hope to see at least an engineer that uses guns, cannons, robots and other tech. Same thing with the medic.

Engi/Medic could easily both be tech based.

Would have perfect balance then, 2 melee, 2 "magic" and 2 tech.

Edit : I do think its funny they just publicly release the patch notes denying any kind of traffic to leak sites :p

If you download the beta client (anyone can) and play with Houston (their addon app) you can see they were working at some point on 9 classes. Maybe they're still sorting out which classes will be available at release.
