Is there a leveling guide for engineers that shows me the best abilities to use at certain levels - I;m using flak cannon and the electrical discharge thing like 99% of the time, and hittting my 2 bots when i can, but I imagine there are better volatility dumps at this point (level 15)

If you mount, wait a second, and summon another bot, it should give you a second bot of the same type. I'm not sure if both cast their respective abilities each click, but it sure is nice. It's a known bug that has been around since closed beta.

Energy Auger becomes really useful after you unlock Bio Shell, since it gives just the right amount of volatility gain and filler between Energy Auger cooldowns. Basically, you open with Bio Shell > Auger > Electrocute and slam Quick Burst every time it comes up, and repeat. Quick Burst doesn't interrupt Electrocute casts when you press it. Once you get T4 Bio Shell, the build starts to really open up, since it turns Bio Shell into an instant cast, allowing for more Electrocute spam. Bruiser & Zap are excellent for survivability. You will have enough DPS and tanking ability that you will be able to solo 3+ group quests, I switched to it at level 20 and wished I had done it sooner.

I had better luck with pubs than with goons during open beta for that adventure. I think a lot of it is not realizing that now it's your biggest job to not die instead of letting the healer hold your hand through instances in wow. If everyone in your group isn't trying to get out of telegraphs, you're going to wipe a lot.

I played it twice with pubs, got a gold the second time but the first time was a nightmare. People don't QUITE get how adventures work yet I think and they were just running around sort of randomly.

No, the stun prompt looks at whatever your current forward, backward and strafe keys are.

Well poo poo. Something in the last few hotfixes since the headstart began has hosed up the game so bad that I can't really play at all. I crash every zero to fifteen minutes with a Wildstar 6710 error about memory not being able to be read. I've done every drat troubleshooting thing I can think of but nothing helps. This blows.



Can't even printscreen that poo poo because the key doesn't work when the error comes up since Wildstar hijacks that key for screenshots.

I really hope they plan on improving the commodities exchange. Right now it seems pretty buggy and it doesn't appear many people are using it due to lack of any kind of detailed information. For instance, when you go to "Buy Now", the price the game tells you is incorrect. It's telling me that 10 split leather at under 2s each is going to cost me over a gold to buy. Not to mention, since I'm unable to see how many are available at each specific price half the time when I go to buy them it tells me there aren't any available at that price. Just tell me how much it's going to cost me for 10 of them at the cheapest price.

Yeah, I have no problem with taking shots in game. Just can't snap that error box, because it shows up when things have broken down. I'm sure i could get some screenshot utility if I gave a poo poo but I don't really. I put in an actual support ticket along with the usual bug reports and poo poo because this has gotten bad enough to actually keep me out of the game, aside from maybe hitting up the auction house.

So I played a dominion stalker to cap (3.5 days /played) in beta and it was the most soul sucking experience I've ever had in an mmo. I was so relieved to uninstall the game after hitting cap. Stalker had the fastest ttk per mob so I can't fathom what this drudgery would have been like for engineer. I think the copy paste of the same 5 quests every single zone did me in. That and the utter lack of group dungeons or group content of any kind until cap. I was able to solo most everything with stalker. To anyone who finds this game remotely challenging, you could cheese most stuff solo with stalker unless they got nurfred.

That said, I'll admit at the time I promised myself I'd try medic in retail.

Has anything changed? Should I suck it up and play?

This might help with that. I haven't tried it yet. I've been using CommodityStats instead so far which doesn't simplify instant buying any really but does have options to auto-undercut/overcut when placing orders.

I'll take a look at it. I think what's going on is the game is looking at however many of the item are available and using that as the cost of the price instead of the number that you want to buy. Also, I really wish they'd just make it more like GW2 where you can buy and sell from anywhere but you have to stop at a station to pick up the item. There just doesn't seem to be a whole lot of movement in the exchange from what I can tell but the GW2 trading post was flooded very early especially with low level crafting items.

And to the guy above, you can only open one every 20 hours or something. It tells you right next to the item in your inventory, you have 11 hours left.

:confused: You get the first shiphand mission at 13 and the first adventure at 15. The shiphand can be soloed but the rewards scale up the more you are so it's better to do it in a group. The adventure (Riot in the Void) is a 5 man instance.

Also you get bonuses for questing in a group so I can't fathom why you'd want to play the game solo in the first place.

You can't claim it because it's still on cooldown. The crash is a bug, but it only happens(at least from what I've seen so far) if you try to claim one before time's up. It seems like there are a ton of little interface bugs like that, one being that a lot of your chat options are reset every time you reload the ui, but I guess things still in better shape than most mmos are at launch.

Did you do anything besides quest because there is a ton of other entertaining poo poo to do, and there are group dungeons and group adventures every 5 levels until cap so you're just flat out wrong there. There are also fun world bosses that require a raid in every zone.

There are a total of four 5 man dungeons in the game.

Ship hand and overland adventures are easily soloable. What's the point of getting a group together in the time it would take you to complete it yourself. My biggest issue about this kind of content is that during beta people bitched about it being too difficult when you could easily cheese it on several classes.
