Nah, if the skin color were swapped, it would still cause a controversy, because it would be placing the less white person in the position of power and cast him as the villain.

on slough? I guess that a place where people are completely unreflexive could be a slough.

Welcome to the HIMALAYAS!

I don't think Wildstar has to be as world-consuming as many MMOs. Sure, it can be, but it doesn't have to be. The end-game has a currency which pretty much replaces EXP at cap and is subject to all of EXP's rules and whatever, so someone who spends a lot of time accumulating rested bonuses while logged out at their…

Yeah, Spellslingers are the magic scifi cowboys. I reckon you're in the same situation as a lot of other people and just can't help but compare WoW and Wildstar. Who knows, I might be in the same boat if I hadn't stopped playing WoW during Cata.

What class did you play, out of curiosity?

Wildstar also has an alternative way to pay for your subscription called CREDD. It's pretty much just like Plex in EVE: players buy CREDD from Carbine for money, then sell it in-game to other players for gold.

You probably -want- to be a Medic in those hectic situations. They've got the widest AoEs so their heals are the easiest to hit multiple folks with.

That's how I was, and yet here I am with a preorder.

$15 a month is $.50 a day. Food for thought.

Only two classes have attacks that requires you to stand still to cast, the Spellslinger and the Esper, and in both cases you can switch out those skills for more mobile ones if the need arises, so that should be a relief. There's also a couple addons out there that change mouse look to a toggle function, which is a…

There's also small group (Dungeons & Adventures) and solo PvE content as well. A lot of end-game gear can be bought with Elder Gems, which are derived from Elder Points which replace EXP at cap level, so as long as you're doing something that would normally give you EXP, you're progressing. And if you're worried…

I don't see how you came to that conclusion. The foundation that Wildstar is built on is its combat system, which is just so different from WoW's. WoW penalizes you for movement and does not require you to aim. Wildstar needs you to constantly move and needs you to aim almost all of your abilities (The exception…

Mike got fur-ious.

Hey, Mike. Think you might write a Snacktaku on Checkers' funnel cakes? I had one a few days ago and it was not bad at all.

It's the first time we've seen anything outside of a hangar.

HELMET! HELMET! HELMET! HELMET!

It's been a few days since I've played, but as far as I can tell, the game is still going strong.

it was pretty much the best titan weapon out of the bunch. At least now it's only questionably the best.
