FFXIV sold because it was $20, is based on an established IP, and frankly it has much higher production value than Wildstar. Is anyone still playing FFXIV? Box sales are the absolute worst indicator of MMO success. TOR sold a lot of copies. That said I don't think this game will sell more than 300k

lets be real here, there are still login queues on populated servers in FFXIV.

and with all the talk of wildstar hype, the hype for this game is almost non-existant. There are some easy benchmarks to measure, likes on facebook, followers on twitter, etc. They link them everywhere they can. The result? 140k likes on facebook, 40k followers on twitter, 70k subs on Youtube. I have a lot of bad things to say about this game but it definatly deserves better than those numbers represent.

You most certainly can.

Can't comment on end game Tera (nor end game Wildstar either obviously) but I can say that just a random pack of trash out in the world will school you if you just try to spank and tank it. Not talking elite mobs.. just a pack of 3 social 'normal' mobs. You stand still and let their telegraph abilities hit you rather than circle kiting them.. you won't get far. I won't go into the more advanced mobs... but they are more advanced.

this entire post was full of shit. binding skills to mousewheel doesnt work currently and packs of mobs telegraphs do reduced damage, see no damage in the level 30+ zones. You can literally stand still and AoE them down before they even break your shields.

Obviously Wildstar plans to never tune damage ever again.

sure but were not talking plans, were talking current state there. With all the changes to damage that have gone through so far, speculating how they end up is a fools errand. Theres testers on both sides calling for easier or harder gameplay.

Love the misplaced nerd rage! You CAN bind to mouse-wheel, I can't speak to what piece of tech you are using, but my Mad Cat 7 mouse-wheel is bound to my action 1 and no it is not from scripting.. I will try one of my other ones tonight to see though, it is possible that this is a product of the macroing capability of the mouse itself.

As to damage of mobs, I re-rolled a medic so I can't comment on the higher areas, but the telegraphs work just fine in lower areas and if they don't right now in the 30+s it is likely a bug (unless you are contending that they should do no damage?).

I'd just ignore byr. He is wrong or twisting things to his view for some reason. Though maybe its a class thing, but as a medic in post 25-30ish world you cannot do what he said to the vast majority of mobs(minion types obviously are quite easy). And yes I know how to build and gear the medic for DPS before he says anything. Btw using Innate doesn't count. Hell I was 3 shot by a mob just a few days ago, by a telegraph you cannot dodge at all(hi2u mortar volley). Though I expect numbers to change still, since they still have 4-6months to go.

I do hope they keep it somewhat punishing, don't need "Balls in a vice" punishing, but not to the point that people could just sit still and fire. I don't mind it for the first 10-20 levels, but even then there should be some danger if you don't stun/use MoOs.

Oh and yes you can bind to mouse wheel. G600. Funny enough using mouse wheel makes the builder auto cast. Thanks for the tip!

leveling a stalker to the mid 30s, groups of mobs have been a joke the entire time. Youd have to aoe extremly slowly for the telegraph damage to add up, baring skills like mortar barrage.

for a medic its even more of a joke once you get your QC. Im not sure what your doing but its definatly wrong. also mentioning mortar barrage in every post to demonstrate your point is kind of pathetic considering they already said it does more than it should and will be nerfed.

My only vice with the Medic is how ridiculously huge their weapons are and I don't mean that in a good way, they just look weird when they are sheathed.

I actually like them :p Though I think it would be more hilarious if I wore a power backpack connected to 2 shock paddles that I kept at my sides(like gun holsters).

So, I've avoided this thread for months. Has it been confirmed? WoW clone? Or, "WoW vanilla" which will please about 200k old fanboys? So failure. Such disappoint.

2014: year of mmo dissapoint.

its hard to say at this point how wildstar will be. its a game thats 100% relying on its raids and dungeons, but currently we havnt seen any raids and the dungeons in game are in various states of not working.

You'd think a game 100% relying on its raids would launch with more than 1 40 man raid zone.
