Even moreso. I love the Jak set of games, mainly the first and third, for its artstyle and characters, such a good platformer series. Too bad naughty dog abandoned it. :smith:

I started a google docs sheet since no body else has to see what kind of interest there is for the 40 man test group. It's pretty basic so if anyone has anything they think should be on there feel free to edit it. Right now it's open for editing for anyone with the link but if it gets all poo poo up then I can change it and add in names manually.

Also, I'm not volunteering to actually lead the raid since I haven't since WoW vanilla days but I don't mind doing the initial organizing. Hopefully the people at Wildstar will give some raid composition advice once it gets a bit closer and they know what's being tested (if we're actually picked.)

Medics use "shockpads", which are giant electrified punching gloves similar to WH40k Power Fists.
They don't use any magic at all. All their healing is done by surgical equipment (needles, bonesaws, large syringes, etc.) and medical drones.

Was going to make a google doc then this rear end in a top hat has to go be helpful, as for scaling do we know if carbine are going to have it so 40 mans don't scale organically into smaller content so you always have more tanks for dungeons than you need for raiding?

Edit: I also Feel I have started the dangerous "Whatever" trend on the google doc

Having too many/not enough tanks/healers will always be an issue and with every class being able to fill either role will make loot juggling even more "fun" for people rolling on this or that for whatever. Hopefully the circuit board method will keep loot drama to a minimum.

Seems like most people either want to play Dominion or don't care, so we're probably going to be Dominion. Somebody should make a Steam group for this, it's an easy way to stay in contact.

I can do it. The only deal is I won't take things super seriously. If I lead we're there to just gently caress around and have fun. Maybe do drinking games while we try and kill bosses n poo poo. I haven't lead in ages, but it shouldn't be that bad as long as we're all drinking heavily and happily.

EDIT:

Also I love how quickly the doc is getting out of hand.
