Pffheehehe...hahahaha... TKstorm and Mindburst in the same rotation...
And here I was defending you...  :rolleyes:
 
I can't even imagine how bad those other DPS must have been.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Back in FFXI we had a name for idiot DPS who pulled aggro off the tank with out a need (as an Off tank or part of the strategy). We called them kicked...
 
I'm not impressed by sheer numbers; I'm impressed by controlled application of damage, something that seems to be lost on some.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Have you DONE any pugs? LOL.
 
 
I picture most pugs literally just mashing their face against the keyboard the way they perform.  
----
			Why are there 2 GHOOLs in your 2nd screenshot?	
----
			Nope.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I have. The worst part is I'm not exactly a pro either, so all it did was make me extremely insecure when I tried healing.
"Did I mess up or is that tank just pathetic?"
 
Obviously they'd never admit it was their fault, and I had no way of knowing either way.
Frustrating.
----
			Yeah, it counts the pet as a separate version of him. So just add the two together.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
We should group though sometime...

{| class="blockquote"
I'm EU. Really wish I could hang with all the cool Evindra peeps sometime...  :(
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Played a Tank back then, eh?
----
			
So, after running with Kinetic (an Esper of the same level as me), turns out the people I run with are just horrible. I had ~40 more Moxie, so ~24 AP, and I was ~4% higher on total damage for the run, and about 125 DPS higher for the whole run.
 
Still, I did pull ahead a little bit. ^^
 
 
 
 
 
 
Honestly, I can't pull any amazing DPS compared to other people in this game because of the LAS system. If I had all the abilities, I'm sure I could figure something out to pull ahead, but when I only have 8 buttons, I can't experiment much and find strange synergies. I have to use what's optimal.
 
We do use totally different builds though. They had PF and Storm, while I ran TKS and MB. I absolutely won in AoE fights, but on ST fights, we would both pull ahead and were just neck and neck the whole time. :P	
----
			
So I see what he was talking about.  We were pretty much neck and neck single target dps.  Running different builds.  His aoe burst was a bit higher with my dps catching up as the fights drug on.  However for the rest of the team, dps was sorely lacking.... we were about double if not triple their dps at times.
 
But def didn't have much to do with rotation or complexitity more or less they didn't know how to play at all.

How exactly is wanting to play with your "friends" a bad thing?
----
			Since when did someone say playing with friends was a bad thing? O.o	
----
			
Selected yes.
 
Hopefully the raid team I'm currently in stays together and new raid challenges are provided for us consistently.
 
I've played WoW for a very long time used to love it to bits, but kinda drifted away from it these past few years for various reasons such as low difficulty, player base, disappointment in lack of content, outdated combat system, etc the list goes on, but saying that I may level up a character and do a few dungeons in the first month mostly for the lore, but thats about all.	
----
			My entire raid will leave for WoD. As for me I played since vanilla and burnt out completely. The last fun expansion for me was TBC. Wildstar is (was) like a breath of fresh air, I do like raiding here but if my entire guild leaves I'll probably cancel my sub.	
----
			
I felt like Wildstar was the first real mmorpg to compete with wow, but somewhere it misses a certain feeling in the game of idontknowwhat.
given it is much better then all the other mmo's I have played besides wow, but I (and other people) just don't pay for a game they like second best and the selection of mmorpgs in the gaming world is crowded and alot to choose from.
I'm not saying wow is better, it is a very personal writeup here.
Most of the classes lacked a bit of depth, and strange to say from a wow player here, but the warrior class felt like an action figure... Not a cool G.I. Joe one, but a playmobile one, hitting stuff with a foam sword.
It is a very challenging game and I really liked the dungeons and the "difficulty" of it, but the quests where rather dull (dont worry, same feeling in wow), the crafting doesn't feel like crafting and the classes basically all felt bland.
Strange thing is, playing wildstar made me feel like resubbing for wow again (after 2 years of not playing pandaria content). I dont know why, but it just made me realise why I played wow for 8 years in the first place. 
Props to the dev team for pushing out so much content though, but i'd rather see them working on their classes and class differentations instead of adding extra content.

I really don't know.
 
The gameplay is fun, but outside those reason I rolled Evindra I like to see the numbers go up, and Wildstar's itemization is such a carnival grab-bag of garbage that's basically over since I broke 50 and made some heavy armor.
Owing to the fact I play for only a chunk of the time I'm connected, because other things call me away, and that all of that time exists in the small hours of Pacific mornings, I'm not terribly likely to end up climbing Mount Attunement for content I'm probably not going to actually get to see - find me 40 end-game players looking to run a raid between 2 and 5 am on a Wednesday, particularly under the assumption I'm gonna join an RP-thematic guild over a progression one. And I might be that guy who suddenly had to get up, ate some red, and started the dominoes... which I'd hate to see happen. So there's basically nothing for me in "proper" end-game.
Did dailies hard for about two weeks, burnt out completely, might countenance them again when the other side rolls up to 50 but...ehhh. Maybe there'll be a new one by then.
Love the character I've Dominion-side, but it's dead. Enjoying my Exiles, not liking the idea of Grimvault again.
 
I enjoy, in an abstract "these are fun mechanics" way, playing Wildstar. I'm engaged enough for my entertainment needs dodging the red and interrupting.
But... I cannot escape the nagging "but why are you doing it?" in the back of my head. I've slapped firmly into the cliff that separates "end of leveling" and "end-game progression" and... I just don't feel like climbing it on the RNG ladder.
 
I've still got CREDD, but if the price keeps climbing past the income I'm willing to commit to logging in and getting, I'll probably fall out of the habit if nobody drags me back in and there's still nothing for me to do. Sure there's housing and RP and stuff... but if I'm doing that I'm not getting more CREDD money, which means I'll vanish, so it'd be for naught anyway.
 
I'd like to. But right now Wildstar is a self-sustaining activity; I play it to earn the right to play it more. If that exchange rate falls apart, I'm not likely to find a way around it right now.
 
I guess I PROBABLY won't go back to WoW, since I'd have to pay real money to play it? But it sure does offer the promise of rewarding, worthwhile content.	
----
			
With the rather disappointing showing of what we've seen from EQN, I will probably be playing Wildstar for the next year if not longer. I can see minor breaks with Galactic Civ 3, The new Civ, and Dragon age. But those will just be brief little weekender games.
 
In seriousness I actually look forward to the fall, so I can cut out all the unnecessary 'lets go outside' and 'lets go to X's BBQ tonight' that get forced on me after I work a 12 hour night shift and just want to be a mushroom in front of my laptop for a few hours.
 
That and I can live the dream of playing wildstar and watching hockey at the same time.

I'll be here, though I plan on also playing DA:I.
 
I refuse to buy the garbage that is Warlords of Draenor. Less content than previous expansions for $10 more? Dumbing down the game even more? Nah, I'll pass.

----
			Ill probably take a break for a month or so then pick back up in the fall.  Too many guildies still need to get attuned, lack of attuned players in my server, and just worn out.  Nothing they can really fix, just happens when I over play something I need to go play something else like Divinity: Origin of Sin, Dark Souls 2 dlc, Borderlands Prequal, maybe a Path of Exile binder.  Yep knock those out then i be back.

EQN was dead to me the minute they said it was going to be on PS4 too. 
----
			It's looking more and more like I'm going to be taking a break and even before sub runs out.  They just released what's coming to PSO2 and ... yeahhhhh. Between the new class, the new content, new level cap this year... on top of complete revamp of all classes... I don't even know what I'll have time for other than DA:I.  I have to learn to play and build classes all over again, the new skill trees are not even remotely close to the old ones (on my favorite classes).  And all the burnt out guildies are pumped to come back for the new class, new maps and new level cap.  And it's looking more and more like I could make a support class if I want to... *swoon*	
----
			Probably not, after trying ArcheAge bèta this weekend, I am totally sold. I don't know what it is but I started to play Wildstar after not playing any MMO for quite some time (and I was hyped as f# for it) and although I liked it to some degree, I haven't logged in for 2-3 weeks, I don't seem to like themepark MMOs anymore. ArcheAge opened up my eyes how an MMO could and should be, open with lots of world PvP, trading, crafting, Naval combat and housing in the open world, very community driven.	
----
			Yup, I'll be here.  Already paid up too with my sub.  I won't play WoW again, quit when they added Pandas to the game.  Most my time will be WS but I have lots of games in my Steam library too that I want to finish on the side.

			I'll definitely be playing. Even if I don't feel like playing, it tickles me that I can make enough in game currency to let someone else pay for my game time.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
 Pandaren are not a new thing and have been around since Warcraft III and are a big part of the lore. 
----
			Are we pretending any of WoW's lore isn't basically a joke? It's like, 30% pop-culture references by now.

They were literally, literally a fricking joke.
A joke that too many people liked too much.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Sorry, I haven't been keeping up since Frozen Throne. :P
----
			I sure will. Mind you, I'll probably resub and get a toon to level 100 in WoW too. It might be hard to talk my wife into letting me get the collector's edition to a game I don't play though...	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Interesting results so far. I honestly expected a lot of "Only if Carbine Changed Something" due to the toxicity from a lot of forum goers.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yes but Wildstar was never taking itself seriously. :P
----
			
I wouldn't read too much into the straw poll results either way -- if you open it in an incognito window you can vote multiple times for any of the options you want. Online polls often have this problem. 
 
Plus, of course, most of the people who won't be back in the fall (as in, a couple weeks from now...) are already gone and not on the forums, so your sample group isn't exactly representative. 	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Eh, there are some pretty darn serious things that happen in WildStar.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
There are serious plot points in current Azeroth too. But the original tone was much grimmer than it became, and than Wildstar ever was, cupcake.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Certainly. I don't think the overall plots in Cataclysm or MoP were very lighthearted, though. There were some pop culture references in quests, yes, but the stories themselves? Very grim, very serious. And no need for name-calling... I was just pointing out that jokes in quests are not really all that uncommon. It's the overarching story that one should look at.
----
			
In response to the OP (and a few other things on the first page)
 
I'll totally be playing Wildstar in the fall, unless something happens to all of the awesome people on Evindra (unlikely).
 
I gave up on WoW a very long time ago, so could care less about their release in November.
 
That said, I may disappear for a week or two when Sid Meier's Beyond Earth comes out in October.  That game will probably suck my life away for at least a few days.  But that'll be temporary :)	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Eeehhh it's F2P.

Eeehhh it's F2P. I'll at least check it out.
But they won't see a cent from me if the nickel&diming is as bad as people fear (thanks to SOE).
----
			At this point ... I am changing my vote to ... prolly not.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That makes even less attractive. I only put up with Rift's being Free to Play because I already knew it was epic.
Also, No Raids. It's basically already decided that it's not for me lol

			Sure Tank, you can be my apprentice in the "rule of two". Now get to work taking out all the pretenders to the Sith Crown. :P ;)

I'm more talking race wise, fantasy games stick with the Elf, Orcs, and Dwarves. Sci-Fi games/movies/books create a bunch of new races.

I unironically think adding space- to anything automatically improves it, but that's just me I guess. :P

To respond to OP, I will be playing in the fall - bring on the Halloween events! :)
 
I sub'd for 6 months from the beginning though, they haz my support =)

			Already went back to WoW, so my answer is no.

Why not, I enjoy the game and since I'm on Pergo population aint a problem. (Did my research on realms before i started playing the game, if didn't your loss)

The numbers are almost even for yes and no (multiple no options in the poll).  Good sample group too.
 
I'm one of the "Only if..."  And my "only if" is pretty big.
 
It's the way Carbine handles game breaking bugs for classes.  I don't care if a bug they've introduced needs a bigger rework than a hotfix.  Class breaking bugs should not persist for more than a week.  Look at current spell slingers.  Look at how they handled espers last month.  They should never need to go through a pyramid of staff to right a wrong.
 
And then there's the current state of pvp.	
----
			
My wife and I will be here for a while to come yet.  I have no intention of returning to WoW even with the expansion.  They have made that game far too faceroll and removed any need for a guild since all content can be pugged within the first week.
 
Besides, I really like the sci-fi idea.  I really enjoyed Anarchy Online even with all of it's problems.  I'm hoping Wildstar will be a decent replacement for that.  And since I can pay for my sub with in-game currency, it's not costing my anything but a bit of time to wait it out and see if they fix this thing up so more people will want to remain here as well.	
----
			
i may sometimes hate it, and most of the the time love it.
 
but as ive said in the past, this will be my final mmo in gaming...so yes, ill still will be playing it -for as long as it's around!	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Like Space-Elves, Space-Orcs, and Space-Dwarves.

From what I'm seeing in this poll carbine is going to lose about half of its population by november. They've already lost more than 50% of their players from launch. I don't know a single mmo that lost 70% of its player within the first year. Knowing NCsoft they'll limp Wildstar along until it makes back the development cost then kill it.
That is unless carbine get's their head out of their ass and actually starts fixing things and getting rid of bad mechanics.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Having been on Pergo since beta, having never left, the population is indeed a problem on Pergo as well.

Pergo at primetime is a fraction of a high pop WoW server around 2-4am.  Not even a jest.

Everyone knows the servers are experiencing population decline, the devs acknowledge it as well.
 
The real issue is which method would be best to combine the servers.

			Yup I'll be here for many many years. I know it's gonna get better ! A LOT BETTER !  	
----
			I will very much be here.	
----
			It will largely depend on if I play enough to be able to buy a cred in game every month to pay for my sub.  My frustration-enjoyment balance works out to a level where I can justify playing if I can play for time served in game.... but if I have to pay real money for it, eh. *shrug*

{| class="blockquote"
Can you link your armory for a  pugged 25 man Heroic Garrosh kill within a week of MoP expansion(I know you can't since he wasn't even out at start of MoP.  So how about, pugged 25 man heroic Mogu Vaults (launch raid)? Here, how about this, can you link ANY 25 man heroic garrosh kill that was pugged? 
 
No?
----
			
If we could get some performance upgrades that'd be awesome.
 
I know this is a completely different engine, but wildstar only using 30% of my cpu and maximum cpu usage is at 40% and getting 8 fps in a 20m raid scenario is pretty stupid. Please fix... or I may not be able to raid DS with my guild which means I'm going to need to quit. I hate leaving a game because of that. I'd rather leave the game due to actual gameplay and I love the gameplay of this game, but the performance holds it back so much.

I'm still around for as long as I have the credd to do my subscription
I just don't log in that much.
