Wildstar: Catch All

If anyone gets a key and has a friend key I will donate $10 to a charity of your choice for the ability to snag a friend key

Do I like buying a key? Nope. But donating to charity is a great thing so I don't mind the money going to a good cause.

That's an idea I could get behind. You should look at expanding that idea.

I offer $10.01 to the charity of your choice! Bam, DeThroned is living up to his name.

How do you envision the idea being expanded? I'm open to any ideas as I feel it's a win-win situation.

I was being serious. Perhaps something like Childs Play where you establish relationships with companies that are offering high profile betas and they provide you a portion of beta keys to auction or sell off for charity.

Woah... I love that plan!

The new dev speak shows off tidbits of various customizing systems in Wildstar.

I'm interested in a beta key if anyone has an extra!

I don't think anyone has gotten one since the last round of lack of beta key griping. At least I am in the same unlucky boat with no key.

How much I want to play this, I've really calmed down on trying to get a key. My offer still stands to donate $10 to charity for a key, but I realize that how much I want to try the game out, it still is a beta and will eventually be wiped. That could be months down the road though, nobody really knows. I can't see putting hours upon hours into the game at this point.

Then again, that's what gets me by without having a key. Making myself believe that sure does help (hehe).

I have enroll with there request for beta months ago...

Guess the rng is against me. But funny enough, I can't commit to this MMO.

Man, if only I had the free time, I'd be so interested in this. But EQ Next Landmark is proving very interesting, and I still want to get time again for LotRO and WoW sometime. Too much gaming, too little time!

Any extra beta keys? Anyone? Please.

So I look up at the Wildstar deli counter and see they are now serving 95. I think that was you, and I have number 96. Yup, that must mean my name is next ... barring some random act of nature that shuts the place down

Big congrats for what you didn't get (since we can't talk about it, right?)

NDA is level 15 and up... but I think even mentioning you are participating is out though (must be, as most forums for the game mention in the rules that you can't state whether or not you are participating in the beta).

Yeah - I have waited since day one - but the beta odds have not been in my favor which is a shame because I was down almost a month and had time on my hands. I did get some ESO in over the weekend.

Spy, check your PM.

Thanks mate - shot you a response. Let me know, and I appreciate it.

WHY CAN'T I GET A FRIEND KEY? I'M THE FRIENDLIEST GUY I KNOW!!!!

Or at least that's what the voices in my head tell me

I really really like the active targeting system. That alone is enough for me to give this a try. I hope the content measures up to the mechanics.

Friendlier than me?
*sobs*
Actually I should check my email if Manach is any indication that another wave has gone out...

edit: nope!

I'm looking forward to getting to play this game. I've been watching the Carbine streams and the other live streams. It looks well done for a closed beta.

Active targeting system?

I think there's a video that discusses it on their website. Instead of tab targeting, for example, the way targeting works in WildStar is that when you prepare an attack it paints the area of effect on the ground, and then you either explicitly release it or it releases a second later or whatever. So dodging is actually an important aspect of combat, and things like circle strafing actually kind of work. It's the same for monster attacks. The area of effect is painted before the attack fires, so you have a chance to dodge. In this way it's a tiny bit like combat in The Secret World. I'm pretty sure all abilities work this way, so even heals would have an area of effect rather than a specific locked target.

Edit:

Here's the video. It's in their "devspeak" section. Also, the video on abilities.

It makes combat awesome... I'm not saying I've tried it or anything... but it makes cooldown management in WoW super boring by comparison... and... awesome.

The videos on the website are worth your time just for the entertainment factor. Love the snark. Also, after getting to taste the beta this weekend I definitely want more. Going to be a long wait to release.

Yeah, this is the game that stopped me from buying a 3DS and Vita first... those will wait until after my computer build.
