Just rejoined this game. In that state between 'this is really cool' and 'what the heck is going on?'

Yeah, bind on account would be nicer. And the game could also use adding 2-factor authentication as well as the current IP defender system. I could be entirely wrong on the motives behind the BoP rather than BoE... but if I'm right... then I agree BoA would be better and tools to reduce the hacking would as well.
-
Yeah but even when we cranked that up to max, stuff could still be near AFK'd through. The last time I saw challenge in an MMO was in earlier WoW before they removed all the random elite mobs wandering everywhere. Back when those were around stuff could just come out of nowhere and smack my toon into a gravewalk in an…

It's a very effective way to keep something from being of interest to gold sellers. The alternative would be to have all the group games for this event flooded with 90% bots. And... there's a likely possibility that gold sellers have already hacked a lot more accounts than they have stolen. I remember a day in guild wars 2…

You know the question here was about the problems of getting skirmish queues to pop... This tangential discussion about who should be running what and how would be nicer if it was not drowing out the actual question...
-
Ok the question was NOT about the flavor of th emonth spec. The question was about that one feat. Lets all just pretend I intentionally want to be a bad tank, OK... and as such, I want to know if this feat works. If you helps you imagine this - pretend I will only take the feat if it DOESN'T work, because I desire to be…

I'm up to level 60 now, and I've gone 26 points into the Protector line and 5 into Tactician. So far. Dual leveling a GF and OP, so they both hit 60 today (Going Bulwark on the OP). - Its interesting how they are very different and yet also pretty much the same. :) -

Half-Orc Paladin here. Make a choice you're going to enjoy for the long haul. You will spend a lot of time looking at that character, doing race and class quest chains, and so on. I'm off to smash in some evil elves. :wink: If you're only concern is min-maxing, then you want dragonborn for all 8 classes.

The 'trash' on the way to that gate is actually pretty valuable if you're of level for the place. This looks like a flaw in design. The dungeon scaling should scale down higher level characters more, AND change the loot tables so that people get loot equivalent to their own level, and not something like a group average.…
-
Maybe the person running it on a leveling character actually wants to play the content, rather than be your personal valet and janitor?
-
So it's pretty random then that I'm not seeing current guides on Protector. I've been speccing down the line by 'tank instinct' and its been very good for me 'so far' but I'm leveling and that's usually very different from endgame.
-
Which basically means that the game coming to Playstation won't increase the population. Small MMOs die by having factions and splits that cannot play together... Look at Wildstar, its a great game, in its death throws... and its largely because they have a faction split like WoW does - something you cannot support unless…
-
There's a huge gap between drag your feet and speed run so fast everything is one shot and no one can keep up. There's a middle in there of 'play through' and do each fight, and let people who are actually moving on the map, keep up. I get voting out the person who's camped on a campfire and not moving... or something…
-
I bought the 'ghost' companion during the sale because it looked nice... Now I can't figure out which character to give it to... But otherwise the wiki page has been very useful in helping me avoid that mistake again. But I do wish I'd found it, and played a little more, before I got my 'first purchase' war dog... having a…
-
Only if they fixed level scaling. Right now when I do dungeons it has been a poor experience all but once. The higher level characters steamroll over the content and the lower level ones just follow behind and click on loot... Often the higher level character has a speed boost so gets so far ahead we can't see them…
-
Yeah that took forever for the queue to pop: Took a day or so, but queue finally popped for Garrundax and it was pretty easy to "semi-tank". A few control-casters that chain shutdown your abilities (which I gather everyone here knows, but I didn't know in advance), but once I had aggro they just bounced me around the field…
-
Of the factors that got me curious about checking this out again was a claim that there were a lot of new people, and had been since it went to steam. I certainly see a LOT of levelers. In the zones it has yet to thin out, but I gather this is from spinning up and down shards as people zone through (I think). And yeah, I…
-
Is this a good guild for a 'newish' / returning player in the PST time zone that is "still leveling"? I'm looking for people to run group content with as I level, and to eventually do endgame stuff with as well. I'm an older player (45 last time I remembered), and waver back and forth between super casual and obsessively…
-
I'd play foundry even if they charged my toon to play it. And that's without having even finished leveling. Its just that I like the idea of player made content. I'd love to see it back as an alternative way to level alts apart from the same quests over and over. Is it offline because it was being exploited like the…
-
Yes thanks. That list had the essentials of what I needed.
-
Thanks for the key bind tip. I click F as I run over things to loot and interact while moving and not falling behind the group. The aiming reticle is usually over my character so I don't tend to see it and if I aim at the sky my view looks to the sky and I will end up running off a ledge or into the next pull. But a key…
-
I decided to not run the event more than once per character. It threw my levels off to the point where my quests were 5-10 levels under me. Mobs give little to xp, so it is slowly fixing itself, but it means my GF now can't do much as breath at a job old or she will out level the skirmish I want to do (she's level 37 right…
-
So I can keep the looks I want, but some color and things might go a little off. Thanks and good to know. It means I can start transmuting when I start to find looks I want to keep hold of (Like some of the costumes from the current annual event).
-
Actually that's probably why they're doing it at 2pm to 4pm. Which at the latest for east coasters is only 7pm for the hopeful end. Otherwise people would have this issue messing up their game's for the entire night of raiding and any raids people do on the weekend... while the staff was at home and unable to do anything…
-
Is there a web link that can be used to check server status, or is it only from the little red dot at the top of the login client?
-
How vital are the racial bonuses and stat differences by the later levels / max level? How much would it matter if I made a halfling great weapon fighter or a half-orc control wizard as opposed to a dwarf great weapon fighter or tiefling control wizard? And so on... Is it 'game crippling' to go off ideal, will it get you…
-
Sounds like the board just needs a 'most damage taken' category? - Which would also kind of call out all the people who stand in the wrong place in pretty much every MMO. :wink: At the end of every run in WIldstar a little thing pops up saying your ranking in DPS, aggro, and healing. That way each role gets to feel happy,…
-
New here, but I just voted and voted Minotaur for 4 reasons. First, yes: I have 3 Tauren in WoW and I love the race there. Paladin, Priest, and Druid. Just to get that out of the way because you are right on that claim - some of this is that nostalgia. Second: The game need more 'less human looking' races. If Satyr was on…
-
And I assume that since you do that, its perfectly viable. Now to be silly but... is it viable for normally skilled players, or just people so skilled and geared they can outmatch the content? In other words I found a pack of 'regular folks' and tried doing content with them, assuming we were "OK" players - not great and…
-
Yeah I was kind of wondering if a controller would have a better fate in finding groups than a striker, and if it was bad for either. I've yet to see any MMO solve this if it had roles... but in a smaller than this MMO I like, the population is small enough that the DPS can basically sit in a queue from character creation…
-
That's very useful to know. In City of Heroes Controllers were so potent people would sometimes stack groups with just them... I remember many runs where our combined buff/debuff cc/cc-removal made it feel like we just walked into a hall of people frozen in time and tipped them over like sleeping cows... I like…
