WildStar: Reloaded |OT| Full Steam Ahead!

While the server issues suck it's cool to see the game have life again. This isn't Carbine's first experience with server issues at launch so hopefully that means they'll get it sorted pretty quick.

Having gone through myriad MMO launches, I didn't really expect this to go smoothly. I was secretly hoping it would, though. Wanted to play tonight. (._. )

That's pretty much what I always feel in MMO launches.

Fortunately, we can use space in character names, right?
I don't have to use ridiculous name even though I'm late to the party.

I had assumed that the mega server tech worked like ESO or similar games where people exist on the same server in terms of being able to message each other/group/etc., but that not everyone is actually connected to the same version of each area at the same time. Is that wrong? If so, they planned this out pretty poorly. Places are going to be wayyy too crowded.

Apparently, he's joking.
Moreover, there's no 'good guy' or 'bad guy' in faction mmo like this.

First of all Indignate was trolling me, he does that in every thread. Second, even tho I was obviously joking, there very much IS good and evil in this game, and Dominion are evil. You torture people for info in the tutorial >_>

I don't even know what you mean that there aren't good guys and bad guys in factions mmos. Empire in Swtor are pretty evil mate. Order and Destruction in Warhammer was pretty clearly good and evil. Hell the only one with a gray area is WoW and that's only because the whole thing has been retconned to hell and back :p
 
So if my character is on hourglass mode am I gonna have to make him again tomorrow? i really like his look and might forget all the details i put in :(

AFAIK, that is indeed the case - it's just so busy on every phase/instance of the area :p

It does work that way. Ilum is the capital city so it is probably more populated.
 
Ability slots now unlock at levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10.

This is great
 
oh well...gave it an hour to see if the new character issue was a quick fix or no so I'll try again later

I didn't mess with any of the actual facial sliders so I can remake my character pretty easily when I try again

one other thing...still can't get Ultra High textures to actually stay selected...the patch notes say they are for "systems with abundant video memory"...I have a 4GB R9 290X so I dunno if that's abundant enough for the selection to actually kick in

Oh I like that! One of the things that used to bug me was not being able to put abilities I got into the hotkeys I liked for them. I kept having to relearn my key layout any time I got a new button.
 
Can't play it. Just created an account and when i click the link on my e-mail to confirm it the page of the game says that it isn't possible to determine the DNS server.
 
Let the queue begin.
 
Wow, i love Chuas but that evil grin/wild eyed look they have when scheming is nightmare fuel. I terrified myself in character creation just now. Hannibal flashbacks

Logged off for the night to alleviate some lag for others. Combat is a bit too choppy for me right now, trying to level in Fort Glory.

Welcome to planet Nexus, everyone!
 
Wasn't this going to be linked through Steam as well?
I recall reading something to that effect when the game going f2p was first announced.

Especially with the limited spell slots the idea is that you mix and match spells freely to make your own builds so it was weird how the slots were locked so late (I'm 14 on my medic before f2p and still only had 6 of the 8 slots)

It's still a possibility, an entry showed up on SteamDB. It would have been server suicide to release on Steam right away considering how hard the servers are getting hit as-is. I imagine once they have that under control is when we might see a Steam release if one comes.

Haha yeah, perhaps I didn't play enough faction mmo. So besides WoW and Aion, everything else is pretty much black and white? I've tried LOTRO and Rift, but didn't really grasp the story.

Anyway, is there an ETA when will they fix the character creation?
My game client will be ready in a few minutes.

Id imagine character creator isn't as much broken as it is just being hammered by tons of new F2P players.

No one really decided on anything. We did talk about some earlier

Use WildStar: Reloaded |OT| "Back so soon? You didn't even get a chance to go towards the light" for now I guess



Or this

WildStar Reloaded |OT| WoW, this seems somehow familiar, but better
Click to expand...

I changed it, but I don't think there's enough emphasis on the game being F2P in the title or near the beginning of the OP.
 
Their website and forums are having problems now too so I imagine everything is just in meltdown right now...goodnight people

hopefully things are more stable later
 
On that note, anyone getting a glitch of some sort where you cant set Ultra High textures in config? Says it requires a restart, but never asks to restart the client. Also just resets back to high when I look in the config.

Yeah, got that on the PTR.
 
Wildstar: Reloaded |OT| Yo, it's F2P now
Wildstar: Reloaded |OT| Only cost is HDD space
Wildstar: Reloaded |OT| I'm really good at OT titles
Wildstar: Reloaded |OT| Free trip to Nexus


Edit: On my way home now. Will spam the servers until I get the guild up and then pass out. Will report back when complete.

The last one is actually pretty good. Just needs a bit tinkering.
|OT| Free trip to AzerNexus
 
Anyone know how much they've done with the elder game since launch? I really enjoy the gameplay, but there really wasn't a lot to do for a game that prided itself on its endgame. This was, of course, very early on.
