    WHAT IS NEXUS YOU SAY?

    WHAT IS WILDSTAR YOU SAY?

    BUCKLE UP CUPCAKE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.


    Nexus is a planet where the mysterious Eldar did heinious experiments and stuff.
    Think that Bad Things happening in FF14 was bad enough? Heh.
    There's enough Bad Shit happening here that the average life expectancy of an inhabitant is shorter than a hunt target from ff14.
    Also did I mention that there's a war going on because people hate each other?
    Yeah that's a thing. Because everyone hates each other.
    And some people are just insane.

    AND THERE ARE SPACE ZOMBIES. PLAYABLE SPACE ZOMBIES.
    .. SPACE ZOOOMBIES

    Incidentally we're on the PvP server! KILLING PEEPS AHOY.


    Wildstar is an action MMORPG. Like tab targetting? Nope not here.
    Like having every skill available all the time? Nah, look elsewhere.

    This is a mix of TERA and Guildwars, best way I can explain it.
    You have a bunch of skills that you can use, but only can have like 8 at a time.
    You also get to buff these skills so that they do different things!

    There are multiple classes. They are restricted by race so plan accordingly!

    Stalkers:
    Stabby stab stab. These guys are sadists. You have a cloak and claws, and what do you do? Immediately stab someone. In the kidney.
    You specialize in either doing stupid amounts of burst damage by hitting things SO HARD THEY EXPLODE INTO GIBLETS or you are the special kind of stalker who says "HERE I AM" and you find out that they actually are a tank and are immortal.
    Very immortal.
    Like I'm not joking immortal.
    Where only an op boss can smack you down and even then you can cheat death.
    Because hax.
    Also most people suck and you can actually do stupid amounts of damage even AS A TANK.
    I play this class because I like stabbing things.

    Espers:
    You have the powers of the mind. You will crush people with your will. And eldritch abominations because that's cool too. You also get to heal because healing is a thing. Or do both.
    Why bother doing one thing when you can do both?
    You are ranged, you have close ranged things, you are a caster. And things die in droves before you.

    Soldier:
    Big stick. Also spinning. You are big, imposing and everyone loves to hate you. You're a ******* badass. You paddle people across the face with your big stick aka sword which is a twohander because what kind of chump uses a one-hander tiny puny sword? NOT YOU.
    You are dps or a tank and you melt enemies with your sheer awesomeness because that's a thing. BASK IN YOUR WARRIOR GOODNESS.

    Medics:
    You would THINK that medics are healers only. Nah. Here's the thing about doctors. They know how to fix you, but also how to break you. Wanna know what happens if they reverse your bloodflow for a second? Hint: It isn't pretty.
    They get to explode people from the inside with resonators or keep you alive with the same equipment. A class which attracts mad scientists and mass murderer wannabees at the same time, this class is a ranged explody goodness mixture.
    Heal or explode people! Whoo hoo!

    Gunsligers:
    Heard of American style shooting? That's what gunslingers are, baby. VOLUME SHOOTING. Dump so many bullets downrange such that the heavy from TF2 is jealous of your sheer outpost. Or, how about fixing some holes? By shooting them.

    That's right, you heal people by shooting them
    In the face.
    Feel free to break out the NC roleplaying. Dunk shitties. Shoot friendlies.
    Teleport and defying causality. Because reasons.

    Engineer:
    When you say engineer, you think engie from tf2. Immobile, has a shotgun, builds a turret and depot and shit.

    That's so oldschool. Except the shotgun. Which is also a laser gun. Why? I don't know it just happens to be a thing.
    Hee.
    You have an army of bots at your command and they all do different things from dropping bombs to some support stuff to BULLETS to PUNCHING THINGS IN THE FAAACE.

    FACE.
    You also are tanky. Because you know, engineers need to have heavy armour because of all the self-inflicted explosions.
    You a face-melter.


    --------------

    All jokes aside, I've been playing this a bit and we DO have an NNG guild.

    Which I can't invite anyone to, bug Phaedo about that because I have no permissions.

    iunno..
    We are Exiles on the PvP server warhound
    Because who doesn't like freedom, terrorism and blowing up dirty dominion?


    I've been playing with Murasa, and it's been quite a bit of a blast, although my alt is kinda low level.

    Oh well.

    If you guys want instant queues, feel free to hit me up either here or on TS whenever I'm on because my stalker is level 39 or so now.
    And I can tank!
    SUFFER UNDER MY TANKING MWAHAHA.

    Otherwise I'm levelling an esper because why not.

    I have a max level stalker. Well, it was max level back then. I'm not sure if they raised the level cap or not. I, too, was leveling an esper.

    I didn't know people were still playing this.

    I gave up when I found out that certain abilities or buffs to abilities can only be unlocked through world drops/books.

    Has it been changed?

    Other wise for a cartoon like looking game it looks and feels amazing. The voice overs are priceless too. My house overlooks Phaedo's house with a giant spacecannon pointing at it and I'm also growing trees and flowers :)

    There has been a change for the amp system a bit.. Locked amps are now tradable.
    Abilities themselves are not locked as far as I can tell. There's three that require amps but those aren't locked. You can get those pretty easily.

    Level cap is still the same, 50!
