Ah ok.

I'm a bit disappointed with the high preset that I'm getting sub 30 fps at times

One thing I noticed is that it varied wildly on the area I was in. In a couple of the tutorial areas I was getting 40fps no matter what setting preset I chose and that is with my 4670 and R9 290 @ 1080p - not at the bleeding edge of hardware but should easily be capable of running this at full settings.

Go outside and I get a rock solid 60fps (vsync)..odd :confused:

[edit] ok, they've changed something. Buttery smooth rock solid 60fps everywhere currently

Only 1 En PvP server could be a good thing. Better long queues at launch than ending up with dead PvP servers because they open too many combined with playerbase drop-off, seen it in so many other games.

Having just watched their new customization video I am really tempted to get this. Cheapest pre order price I have seen is £26.99. - Wildstar
(with Beta and Head Start pre-order bonus)

Anywhere lower than that?

Greenmangaming will probably be lower with the 20 & 25% off codes they seem to have all the time.

I just left my pre-order with Amazon up, cba messing around for the sake of a quid or two.

Got a copy for a friend the other day on GMG and it came to £26.25 with a 25% off code. I think that's the cheapest so far, unless any other places are doing codes or price cuts.

Dominion on Hazak for me!

DisrupTor75 · 28 May 2014 at 21:37

Cheers. Ill go with the rainforest option as the difference is so little.

Hazak will be utterly rammed, seems it's the most popular choice for the reddit community and pretty much every guild going......!

Looks like we could have a few war stories in this thread with people going evenly to both sides on Hazak, looking forward to it

Slightly cheaper, and like them on facebook to get a further discount. Got mine from them.

Also going on Hazak - Exiles! Stalker tank.

Has anyone elses game dissapeared from their account after the maintenance yesterday?

Just noticed i can no longer reply on the Wildstar forum and the pre-order on my account seems to have disappeared.

Skunkworks · 29 May 2014 at 09:21

Just checked my account and mine seems fine.

NexusK · 29 May 2014 at 09:29

Just had a look on Twitter and seems like it's happened to lots of people.

what server is majority of ocuk peeps playing on ?

I pre-ordered from the official site two days ago. Unfortunately the serial code didn't work and after various messages back and forth I'm still waiting for it to be rectified.

Can someone confirm how large the download is?

I'm going to Dominion. It's sad that the little rats can't go stalker

Anyone know if using AA through CCC will cripple performance? Bearing in mind i only have a 2500k and 7850. Just asking as i noticed when messing with the ingame settings yesterday that x5 FXAA looked awful, it just made everything soft and blurry to the point i would rather have the jaggies.

Won't be able to try myself till tonight and i doubt the servers will be up then (assuming they've fixed the account issues by then).
