WildStar: Reloaded |OT| Full Steam Ahead!

After a full day of trying to get in I've finally logged in!
Huzzah.

EU Servers are back up btw, not that it matters since it's 3am.
 
Okay, I finished the tutorial and almost hit level 4 at Everstar Grove before I gave up due to lag. The combat was fun in the tutorial, so I'll definitely dig deeper into this once the server isn't getting hammered quite so hard.

Skills were taking 5-10 seconds to come out sometimes and I ran into this really frustrating bug twice where resources that are supposed to regen naturally just...stop regenning until I relogged. The first time, my spellpower stopped regenning, the second time, my dash resource stopped regenning.

Character code? Where can I spy that?
Click to expand...

On the customize character page, about 3 or 4 options down (above customizing the facial features) there's an option for Save / Load Character. Click that and you get a text box that contains a string which is your character data. Copy that and save it into notepad or something. That way, if you quit the game and go back in, you just go back in to the same menu and paste it again.
 
Still downloading the game:

Are Spellslingers the closest thing to an archer in the game? Quick/ranged is generally my favorite playstyle.

Right on, much appreciated. Hopefully I don't need to use it too many times. I'm getting hung up on the character creation "enter game" though.

Anyone know if this is a form of queue? Is it worth waiting or is it dead?

Actually if you let it hang for awhile on that screen, your character probably got created.

My experience was:

I made a character, hung after trying to enter game.

Made a 2nd, hung.

Logged back in, the FIRST character was there. Entered game, played for awhile.

Logged out, logged back in, bam, both characters I created were there so I had to delete one.

Interesting. I was hoping to see a little smoother of a release but ooh well. It is what it is! No skin off my watermelon.
 
Waiting desperately for a group of gaffers playing in the pvp server.

I know the difference is minimal, I just don't want to play on the lame server. Happy to tank or heal, I just want the omnipresent threat while leveling, and the ability to enact revenge when max-level.

The fact that I can't viably PvE on the PvP server is vexxing as all get out. It may singlehandedly stop me from playing this game.
 
Shame they're still having server problems. Lets a bit of air out of that "We're free now! Come back!" balloon. Totally expect issues from a fresh launch but a 2nd launch for the same game?
 
Still can't create a character. You'd think they would have fixed this of all issues if they're trying to get new players. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow, but if it doesn't work I'll just move onto some other game.
 
I just want to say that for a game that proclaims itself to be an MMORPG, the fact that the quest log/tracker doesn't show you the progress of your other party members REALLY sucks for people wanting to play together.

What also sucks? Not having shared progress. You get credit on enemies usually if you both attack them, but you have to pick up every item individually and turn in every quest individually. I don't get why auto sharing and being able to turn quest progress aren't just standard. Other MMOs with similar quest structures have them, why not this one? This really makes playing with a friend or significant other a pain, and is actually a pretty big deal breaker for me. :\

Also, as my companion just pointed out, on the default UI the nameplates are pretty terrible and he has difficulty picking me out of a group of players even when we're in a party. :<

Yeah posted about this a few pages back. Was a big problem for me when leveling with buddies during original launch. Some item collection quests did share for us though, maybe later game. It was extremely inconsistent and weighted way more to not sharing.
 
Getting my UI set up is a pain! I got ForgeUI installed, and it looks great, but the quest tracker still looks old, and I cant move it (other than the top or bottom in its own settings).


Also, I keep crashing. I'm not sure exactly whats causing it. But if I try to alt tab out it crashes, and I tried changing from borderless window to fullscreen, and that made it crash too, haha.

so I bought the E3 ticket thing from humble bundle that had wildstar in it but for some reason it's not giving me the benefits for it
Click to expand...
The copies given to the humble deal might have been a specific run of codes they identified as being ineligible for the benefits before launch. Can always send in a ticket to find out.
 
this is some hot garbage that I cant get past the character creation screen
