No point even expecting that in a pug. And to be honest, nor should you. Like achievements in wow, thats something you should do with friends / guild members, you cant expect or force it on people you dont even know.
Well in my first time going through Ruins of Vel Koreth we almost got gold if not for a tiny screw up during one of the bosses, guess I got lucky.
I dont even know what "getting gold" means, but if its a time thing, with how slow mana regens even out of combat, thats a big no no for me as a healer
At the highest level. The Veteran dungeons provide you with more loot if you beat it faster than a certain time. And depending on what time you complete it. You get either Gold, Silver, or Bronze.

It's not that big of a deal tbh.
Lmao no I'm doing Vel Koreth, the 3rd dungeon. I'm only level 28.

I like how only a couple of the early support warrior skills make use of the sword. It's like they gave the DPS all the cool looking skills.

I just hit level 10 on my Stalker today so I'd be down for some Protogames tomorrow. I will have a small window of opportunity to play before my gf's flight lands so will try to corral some people once I get online.

Is PVP like matching every level together? Feels like I'm fighting super high levels that have all their skills.

how is the lag now?
Gone, everything seems hunky dory...
But every boss in Stonetalon was tank and spank... the fact that you have to avoid stuff doesnt change that

alright ill probably transfer back after this dungeon!
OK fine, well you have to avoid shit and interrupt and all that fun jazz, stuff that WoW doesn't give you till well into things, picky picky...these first two dungeons are a good solid challenge, and it a welcome change.
Anyway, new look
And home sweet home

I'm on Windows 10 and haven't had issues.
Hmm...every time I press prtscn, the game pauses for a split second like its taking a screenshot, but I haven't had anything saved aside from the first two I took at F2P launch.
Tank and Spank does not mean what you think it means.
Tank and spank means exactly what i think it means, it means a fight where a tank holds the boss while the dps hits it, or spanks it, without any other extraordinary mechanics, which none of those Stonetalon bosses have. Unless we are counting interrupting attacks as extraordinary mechanics these days.
Just because theres circles on the ground to avoid doesnt mean its not tank and spank.
Dont mistake this for me shitting on the game btw, or Stonetalon in fact. It was a fine dungeon.
For normal dungeons that are below the max level. You could get gold by simply completing the dungeon without anyone dying. But for veteran dungeons, you must beat it at a specific time limit, and you cannot have anyone die.
Paste it to paint, never fails
Figured it out, had edit security options for the folder lol.
I guess they should be fusing the servers back together soon? At any rate, lets get some parties together later on.

Haha it makes me a little sad seeing how active this thread is after I played it back at launch up to the point of doing the raids. Had to stop though cause the poor optimization x.x/
RIP my awesome DPS medic
Dont forget about the objectives as well. A normally almost 2 hour dungeon had to be down in just over an hour if I remember right to even start raids and NO ONE could die. THAT SHIT WAS HELL.

So holy crap, I had no idea how much PvE content was in here and how crazy some of it can be!
I thought "Adventures" was a fancy term for dungeons. I hoped in it for the first time as a warrior tank, and it was pretty neat how you could vote on what objectives you wanted to do. Also, holy crap did they really overwhelm us a couple of times with mobs. Ended up going down 3 times unfortunately, but it was a blast overall.
Then I decided to look online and WildStar DOES have dungeons, but I don't get them until I'm lvl 20. Boy am I excited for those.

they're down for maintenance for another 30 mins
That is EXACTLY what avoiding things means lol. At what point to you does something not become tank and spank if your only metric is that 'tanks tank it and dps dps it'?
The first boss has the entire phase with the channellers and standing on them to break their shields while avoiding telegraphs. It has a dancing portion and an interrupt.
The second boss has a running gauntlet as well as a lot of avoiding circles, with tornados that persist near the end.
Stormtalon himself has a huge knockback + interrupt mechanic, spam circles you run around from, and the entire 'eye of the storm' mechanic that involves stacking near the affected player but not on them while slowly kiting around.
Like, it blows my mind to hear anyone refer to any boss in any dungeon in this game as tank and spank.
http://www.twitch.tv/theyanger/c/4482631 I know that's vet not normal, but the mechanics are the same (just not as unforgiving). That's my personal vod of me tanking it a year ago.
a boss not tank and spank to me is something like 2 bosses where you have to switch bosses, switchtes you have to press, add phases, controling a npc to help, etc. anything that isnt 1 boss with dps hitting it. no matter how much spell effects you put on the floor to avoid
so for example, that bug boss in the wow 5man, in the bee instance (i forget the name). The one in a small room with bombs that explode and you need to avoid the fire dmg. Thats the same shit, to a lesser degree, and I also consider that a tank and spank boss
also any boss that you can run in, tank it and dps it and kill it with no explantion, is pretty much a tank and spank fight, which was the case with stonetalon.
Ill give you the last boss, he does the ground aoe thing with a open spot where people need to stand, I forgot that. but the first and second might aswell have been the same boss with different graphic aoes going on for people to avoid, at least from what I saw
if avoiding shit on the ground means a boss isnt tank and spank, then most bosses in wow arent tank and spank since theres always at least something to avoid (or do), and yet everyone cries that wow is all tank and spank
and im not defending wow at all btw, I havent played that in ages. I do think the idea that Wildstar's dungeons are life altering experiences much better than any mmo before is hyperbole at its best tho, but that goes for the game in general (and im sure that means I hate the game, because of course you cant like mmos without not thinking they are the greatest game ever)
Stonetalon, in my opinion of course, was a good dungeon. I would say it was a very good dungeon even. It was also just that, a dungeon like any other mmo has, with trash and then 3 bosses that, in my opinion, were little more than tank and spank fights (with lots of red stuff on the ground to avoid) which I killed on my first try except the last boss which I killed on the second.
so in the end, lets agree to disagree
edit: Ive only done Stonetalon (Proto doesnt count), so if they get much more varied or with different mechanics later, I shall revisit my opinion

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
How is this game's stability now? I got fed up with the lag and constant disconnects and just decided to play Mass Effect instead until it was fixed.

Isn't most of GAF on Entity 1 though? Or are characters not server locked?

Is EUGAF on Jabbit 1 or 2? Who do I whisper for an invite to the guild?
I'm on Jabbit-1, I can invite you but I won't be on for another 2 maybe 3 hours.
except I did, I went in the dungeon first time and we 1 shot the first 2 bosses with no tactics, just avoiding shit on the ground as it showed up. but whatever, this is pointless
much better now. no lag at all this morning on jabbit-2 for example, just got to level 30 (still half of whitevale to go ;_
