Wildstar: Catch All

I'll gladly take a beta key off someones hands.
I'm an MMO junkie, always looking for the next high and it never lasting more than a few months.

I'd just enjoy being a healer again if one of the classes does it in a way that makes sense inside of my brain.

Welp, you've got your choice of Medic, Spellslinger and Esper for main healer.

As long as it makes sense inside my brain! Priest did during vanilla WoW, then I switched to Shaman which was a blast. WotLK, Shaman still worked for me but I started getting into Paladin. Can't wait to give all three a spin here.

One question I do have now is weapon drops in Wildstar. There's some overlap in armors, it looks like... but weapons looks like it's going to be a crap shoot, which would make it really irritating when that medic heal device drops for like the 5th time when you have two or three espers waiting for the healing psyblade. Wonder how they're going to deal with that.

I worry about that too. I think they are doing the old school rolling for loot system too. So if that awesome psyblade does finally drop, someone can roll greed on it for an alt or to sell (do they have an AH planned?) and ninja it from you.

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeh. I still think the tokens that covered multiple classes for gear was the best way to go. Plenty of items that were just the item in the loot table. But having those tokens which basically meant for months there was guarantee of someone in the raid getting a piece of gear? MUCH BETTER system of loot distribution.

I would trade a Wildstar Beta Key for a Battlefield 3 Key on Origin Maybe someone has a Battlefield 3 Key from a Humble Bundle or something like that that he will not use

If Interested a PM would be nice!

A beta key for a full game?!?! What a deal!

My advice: Just give it to someone. Around here you'll get back what you give out. And then some. Most people won't trade things with Coffee Grinders because you're new and no one can vouch for ya.

Sigh, only three months out and they've still got a pretty massive NDA out there with only their own information being released. They really gotta ramp that down so that these sites trying to cover the game can do some actual reporting already. I feel like I had way more information in the last months of coming into Burning Crusade (on some of the starting dungeons, gear changes to be expected, etc...) and Wrath of the Lich King (on what DKs were going to be like, more dungeon-y stuff, etc...) than what to even begin to expect in WildStar, except that I know what the roles for various classes are going to be, telegraphed attacks, etc...

Wildstar seems pretty okay about their info. TESO on the other hand ...

Both are bad, and that's starting to make me wonder. WildStar seems to appeal to the raid healing part of my MMO enjoyment. TESO appeals to my love of the Elder Scrolls lore. I suspect I will buy TESO for the PS4 and just play it like a single player game, and play WildStar for the "Elder Game" as they describe it.

Im laid up for a month starting tomorrow convalescing from surgery. If someone gets an extra key let me know.

OMG i was so silly that i traded my beta keys for games that are 8€ worth.... one key is about 300€ worth and i did not know it... what a mistake

In my world beta keys are free. Who in the hell would give that much money for a beta key?

FYI do you know folks with buddy keys are responsible for their buddie's actions? So someone breaks NDA or does something to get banned you and the others are banned too. Plus that actually selling keys are against the ToS and could get you and your buddies banned and probably not a good idea to be posting about it.

hehe remind me not tell you how much I spent on the ArcheAge beta and yet again when it went retail in KR.

I've seen some people stream Wildstar on twitch today, but it seems it's some 1 to 15 lvl limit version. How many betas are there? Stress tests, limited levelling, full beta?
And I'm a bit surprised no one is really streaming atm. Is it still under NDA?

Level 1-15 is NDA free. Everything past that is where the NDA is.

I'd have traded a low cost game or an extra key for a beta, but some stuff was a little extreme. I was tempted because I'm laid up for a month. By the way shoulder surgery sucks.

Doctor has been talking to me about that as well and don't look forward to it. Sucks getting old.

A key is certainly not worth roughly $400. I can get a key for $80-$90 tonight. Then I realized that it's a BETA and not worth paying for. Do I want to play? Sure do! But I can't see paying. It kind of puts a sour taste in my mouth that you are upset that you did not profit largely off of the sale of the keys, or that you might have considered selling the keys for that much here. If I had any friend keys to the game, I would make sure they went to people here for absolutely nothing.

Then again, I guess not everyone is the same. I've given away beta keys to MMOs where I had them and was not interested. Could I have sold them? Probably (I've never actually attempted to sell a key). I'd rather see someone here who is really interested in the game get a chance to try it rather than making a few bucks.

For those of you who got a key, congrats! I'll admit that I am jealous

This, about a million times over.

I've stopped playing MMos pre-release. i just don;t want to spoil anything if I decide to play it!

Wish I could say the same thing but I'm constantly searching for the new shiny.

Yes it does. Turns out there was more damage then they thought. I could be looking at a complete replacement in 10-15 years. There goes my dreams of an NFL career

Been there, done that. Completely ruptured subscapularis tedon and they found a slap lesion so a joyful three hours of surgery.

Worst part was sleeping, or more accurately, not sleeping. For whatever reason lying down was excruciating. I slept in my chair for over a month.

My only bit of advice, do the PT, ALL OF IT. You'll be much better off. When do you start?

I think perhaps Revo is confused about which community he is posting in

Starting PT next week. I agree it is excruciating. Not my favorite experience to date.

Thanks Rainsmercy for the information. The live stream giveaway has been pretty neat in that in between they are showing gameplay so seeing how some of the bigger powers work is nice.

I am totally entering that one site's limerick contest for a beta key!
