    No, it was playable earlier. They are doing some last minute stress tests during the week, in preparation for launch. Still online from what i can see.

    It's the beta though, so your characters won't save for launch.

    Ok, i'm back to a Medic now. Had a brief go tonight, and quite enjoyed it. Will be interesting to see how it handles healing.

    Damn,I'm really tempted by again.

    You can have one of mine if you like. No sweat. You have to commit to levelling to at least 20 though as that's when the fun starts. Epic dungeons! :P

    I'm going Medic too. Bottom of the damage list and hardest of the three healers due to focus management. Don't care. Like the way they play. :)

    Deeply tempted by this. Just trying to decide whether I want to go into a subscription MMO.

    Subscription MMO's are the best type.

    Free to play MMO's aren't built around content, they are built around micro transactions. They don't make new content...they make new hats. The subscription model is based around keeping you paying month by month so it means that have to care about the state of their game.

    Plus because its behind a pay wall, you have a nicer community. You still have assholes....there is no escaping them. But you have less of them because a troll is less likely to part with his money. You only have to look at the sort of truly, truly toxic player base surrounding free to play MOBA's like League of Legends for an example of this.

    I fully agree Kirby. It's just easier to convince yourself to give a f2p a go since it doesn't really matter if it isn't your thing, it just costs a few hours. The communities in f2p games are horrible though.

    Yeah i got to 20 in the beta, i just dont want to buy right now as an MMO in the summer doesnt fit well with me at times :P

    It is quite annoying that it's coming out shortly before the bleedin' World Cup starts! Although I guess it means I won't be rushing to 50, anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    its great for me cause i hate football woop woop

    ow and i think hazzak might be a queue fest since its the only English pvp server >_<


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    This is on my radar. Ironically I've been in the closed beta and never even played it. I was completely put off by the over-the-topic comedy and art style. What really changed my opinion was a DevTalk video showing Raids. I know my guild (Heresy) are going in at launch, so if the game takes off I'll jump on too. Having gone from WoW to RIFT to SWTOR to GW2 to ESO (beta) and back to WoW all because the populations of the previous games have all dropped rastically after launch I'm playing this one like a ninja and waiting it out!

    Servers are online again tonight. Last chance to play around with it before launch on Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 526 ✭✭✭LuckyCharms


    Getting the No Valid Wildstar game account found for Europe Datacenter. Can anyone shed some light on this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,911 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Would servers go up tonight lads or some time tomorrow morning? Can you preload it? If you get from GMG, will you get key instantly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,447 ✭✭✭Calhoun


    What do you mean preload it? i have it installed already?

    I mean download it right now. Before it goes live for 3 day head start?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,104 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Yup you can download it right away. Never played beta but have it installed and patched


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭Andy Gravity

    Once you setup your acount you'll see a download link so you can be ready for early access on Sat morning.

    If you order from GmG you'll get your key pretty fast.

    Gonna roll spellslinger human. When I get time for it will also roll a Mechari, caus they look badass.
    Have learned before never to play the "small" races in MMOs, because you get an awesome armor set or weapon, and you can hardly see them!
