Wildstar New MMO (NCSoft and Carbine Studios)

They really messed up team play in this for the leveling process, I played through a year of beta solo and I didn't have problems with challenges or anything of the sort.

Here comes release, I play exclusively with two other people or not at all and we're CONSTANTLY coming across quests where:

1: Not everything is shared, but you have to pick up items that aren't local and disappear but you need to find so many of them, making a task for one person that takes 5 minutes, a 15 minutes slog because it doesn't respawn quick enough, add other people to the mix too.

2: Not everyone in the team gets the same % reward, either because it's based on "how well you did" which is a joke, open world pve is generic like every other mmo, so while I'm at 95% and about to finish a quest, my brother who plays a healer and attacks every single mob I do is at 65%. So frustrating when you end up in a single area for a quest for 15 minutes just killing the same stuff over and over because one member happens to almost need twice as many due to some stupid bug or feature.

3: Challenges in a team are so much different than solo, for the most part the kill quests are the ones we do since it's shared and you can do it quicker. Unfortunately for the most part a lot of these challenges require you to loot something, or walk over something and if you do it, they can't, so you spread out but the area is very small and add to that other players it makes most challenges a complete waste of time, something that was pretty cool solo is an abomination in a group.

We've all played mmos together since 2001 and it's rare to find things where group play is hampered, Wildstar really stood out.

4: Some quests, sorry.... a lot of quests recently have started to bug out near completion, the latest two were a wigwali quest to find treasure and another to kill Probes for some item, but they all stopped working at 1 before the end. This is fixed by leaving the team, aborting the quest, running to where you picked it up (where did I pick it up, I have 15 quests?!) and doing it solo.

All because we're team and it works alone.

Quit playing for the day yesterday because we literally had an hour of that crap and couldn't stand it. Having to repeat stuff or spend x2 or x3 longer kills the fun.

Welcome to phasing - enjoy your stay :)

Seriously though, a much over used mechanic that allows a more solid single player experience in an MMO - and it's only becoming more & more popular. Yet another thing we can thank WoW for as part of ruining the multiplayer aspect of MMO's.

The modern MMO only wants you to play with others when it suits the developers - a special quest, a dungeon, raid or BG. Outside of that, good luck.

As you can tell I am pretty much burnt out on MMO's :p
 
Just come back from holiday the other day and my wildstar dvd was waiting.Installed and everthing but im still wondering if it was a good idea lol.
I don't have as much time as I used to have when wow first came out as I was in college then and with all the amazing games coming out this year I don't know how much till ill be able to put into this but ill give it a try.

What server are most OCUK people on?
Think I prefere PVP to PVE personally as im going to roll a Stalker as I found that the most fun class in the Beta.

Yup loads of us here on ravenous, exile faction. (and plenty of wpvp :eek:)
 
So I managed to sort out my problems now and this game runs really well! Did some PvP last night and everytime I do the next one after the temple I loose the connection to the world server.

Other than that this game has me and my brother hooked!
 
I'll finally get back to playing my Medic in the guild when I get home from work! I think I've had my Dominion fix :D
 
About to hit 50 soon and my god I have to say the levelling experience was realllllllllly boring. Worst levelling I've experienced I've had in an MMO.

Hopefully the dungeons, raids and PvP are better.


Quite a lot of bugs still as well but that I expect from a new game.
 
Maybe MMORPGs just aren't for me anymore, but I'm starting to get bored after 2-3 quests. I've been stuck at my current level for almost a week now. I know when I hit Level 50, the fun will start, but I know for sure I'm never going to go through this levelling process ever again. Starting to doubt if I'll ever hit 50 before the free month runs out.

Tempted to retry this, I didn't get on with it much during the stress tests but I guess that more was more frustration than anything.

Would anyone be able to trust me a trial please?

Thanks.
 
I'm really enjoying playing but it's time I took more interest in my build! I'm a lvl 16 Stalker so can any fellow Stalkers guide me in the right path as to where I should be putting the points into my AMPs? I'm just DPS'ing and not bothered about going tank so any help appreciated.

Also, the AMP tiers that are locked, do I have to do PVP to earn prestige and unlock these or can I buy them?

There are lots of places to get AMPs. A major source of AMPs when you're leveling is from the reputation vendors in the zones you are in. They will often have 4 - 7 per zone for you to buy. Other places include PvP, the auction house, world drops and challenges. At your level on a Stalker I'd just be working on Tier 1 Assault (Crit Chance, Severity and Assault Power).
