NCSoft is a Publisher. They Publish games, meaning they handle a lot of stuff dealing with marketing, support, and etc..

They don't make the games themselves, but they are in a position to demand the game developers fulfill certain things, especially if player retention is an issue.

In this case Carbine is a subsidiary of NCSoft who acquired them early in the development of Wildstar. They have a publisher credit on the game since the Austin-based US subsidiary of the company doesn't develop in-house.

66% are going US PVP.

Some of the other 34% are probably Eurogoons voting no. And we're (almost) all going PVP too, just a European PVP server.

A poll in the PvP section of an offsite forums asking if you're going to roll PvP or not is probably not the best indicator of where goons are actually going to roll. It's likely going to wind up being a 50/50 or 60/40ish split at the start and who knows 2 weeks or a month from now. Roll where you want to play and stop with the horribly dumb "No MY GROUP HAS TO HAVE THE MOST PEOPLE" from both sides.

Yup, the pve guild is gonna be tiny and will have to merge with a pubby guild or something if they want to do anything larger than 5-man content. Too bad. :sigh:

It's still an offsite forum and my point of "don't be loving idiots yelling about how one side or the other is better" stands. We can all enjoy this game without yelling at each other constantly*.

*From the previous threads devolving into horribleness maybe we actually can't.

I have a question about the paths. I played scientist and settler through the second zone. Do they quests/activities change at all after that? Just want to make sure that one or the other doesn't have a significant change later on.

Also, I can see how settler could be slightly useful at endgame by providing buffs, and always having a small reoccurring use. Does the scientist have any active use at the endgame for anything other than teleports?

Pretty sure in raid content, all path actual gameplay affecting stuff is disabled or useless?

All path abilities are blocked whenever you're in instanced play including: Raid, Dungeons, Battlegrounds, Arena and Warplots. I'd say Scientist has the most useful end-game abilities with being able to summon and teleport in the open world, especially on a PvP server.

Settlers can summon repair bots and soldiers can bail out of wipes. I think esper explorers could use air brakes, but every other class can stop fall damage some other way.

I'm just warning people that if they play with the PvE guild they will probably not have enough people to do raid content. Hell, I'd rather play PvE because I don't want to be harassed by every idiot on the server while doing the inevitable daily quests, but I also want to raid and the PvE guild looks like it will just be way too small to support that. I'll just have to deal with the ganking and camping whether I like it or not. :sigh:

Its too late your money is gay now

I think translocation beacon will end up being among the most useful path abilities. Think of the applications of a short range low cooldown teleport to return anywhere.

Boss at the end of a long cave and mobs will respawn? Place a beacon before you go in.

Tough jumping puzzle and not sure if you'll fall? Place a beacon.

Need an objective at the bottom of a cliff and don't want to find the path back up? Beacon.

Need to quickly hit the bank before returning to the crafting bench? Beacon.

Want to be able to return to a quest hub but keep your transmat somewhere else? Beacon.


I hear for short range the cooldown is really really short, and I'm thinking between this and the speed flags explorer is going to be a really useful path to have for everyday gameplay.

Does anyone else think the platforming in this game is janky as hell? I was planning on going explorer on my first character until I tried out the tutorial explorer missions and had to try each "puzzle" half a dozen times because of the impreciseness of the controls.
On a related note, is there any setting for changing keyboard turn speed? The default rate is horrendously slow and I prefer to not have to use mouse for turns other than reversing.

Pretty much this. You'll find the controls are incredibly precise so long as you are using the mouse to turn. Otherwise all bets are off.

In the nicest way I can put it in an MMO thread, I think that if you take some time to get used to it, you may find that using your mouse for turning around and keyboard for moving will give you much better control over your character.

/eval Apollo.SetConsoleVariable("player.turningSpeedKeyboard", 1)
That sets turning speed to default, try increasing the number at the end to 1.5 or 2 or whatever.

Uh, even on the pvp side you're probably going to have issues as well (for 40 mans at least) since not everyone in the guild is going to want to dedicate the time to raiding?

Just suck it up and accept that either way you're probably going to have to find some non-lovely pubbies in order to do that kind of stuff. Goons are just pubbies that paid $10 to post on a forum anyway. There's no automatic guarantee of competence there.

To combat the potentially low body count of people in the goon guilds we set the sponsoree limit to 10 people per goon. If you have friends you want to play with then BRING THEM ALL.
