[Apr 18, 2014] WS Beta Weekend 3! (Wildstar / Mumble)

Alright folks, this is prep time for the next Beta Weekend! Post here if you plan on playing (and if possible, what times you'll be playing). Use this post to coordinate play times with one another for leveling, PvP, or adventures/dungeon runs!

I myself will be playing my Warrior sporadically and making sure I'm logging in for boxes! (Up to 27 so far!!!) Maybe if others need a DPS for the 20 dungeon or the 15 adventure, I can be persuaded with my Spellslinger!

I may also be diving deeper into tradeskills. I understand them decently enough now, but I want to see a bit deeper into the tree's than I have so far.

As always, if you're planning on playing for a while, try to hop on mumble!
 
Hey guys, i'll probably be on late or very early in the morning since i have my MSF course this weekend. Hoping to at least log-on and get my boxes.
 
gah the new changes are frustrating, i liked the little quest box in the bottom left you could scroll down for everything. now i don't even want to open up the quest window to see what i have cause its just so clunky, everything is in a drop down menu and "sorted" into types of quests and from what area its from. maybe im just being pedantic but i really enjoyed w* last beta weekend and within 5 minutes this weekend i have found something thats really just put me off. don't get me wrong its not exactly a deal breaker but i just feel like they spoilt something they had down pretty nicely and will take some getting used to.

Hmm. I'll have to look into it when I get home. The screen itself while playing looks soooo much cleaner, I'm excited to test it out.

Also, remember that mods will come through at a later time for deeper customization!
 
yeah it looks nice in terms of when you're playing thats fine, but the bottom left seems to only show quests for your path, which it took me a moment to realise, then i was hitting all the keys for my quest log/journal. finally got it up and i was like "huh, what are these boxes where are my quests?" turns out they were the area names, then under that you have the word tasks which you had to click and it dropped down to show a quest. tbf i could have pressed M and found out what zone i was in but not the point, it would have been just as good if not better to have a list with the zones as headers maybe. cause if im honest im looking for the quest name and it doesnt really bother me if the quest is classed as a bog standard "task" or "adventure" when im just looking to reming myself what it actually involves me doing.

oh AMP points seem to be reset and character creation has body types which is nice, male granoks have a slightly skinny option and a massive ridiculous one too. aurons have a more masculine option as well as twig like one. hopefully its just a nod/indication that they are working on more character customisation and such and giving a taste of the range to be implimented later on.

as an explorer it seems you can now fast travel using sign posts, i managed to do this by accident and ended up somewhere i havnt been yet. well i have now but i hadnt before XD

pressing escape now has more things in it. beware clicking anything in the bottom half opens up a window and takes you out of the escape mode and you have to reenter it once you are done doing w/e you wanted. lots of customising stuff in there which is cool but a little overwhelming tbh. you can mess with loads of options for name labels both for pvp and pve.

anyway thats my initially impression after 10 minute of this beta weekend, hopefully work wont keep me too much and i can get into playing it more :)
 
ignore the bit about the quest log things turns out im blind along with a combination of the datacron thing being open and my ui/hud scale being too high and the fact im an idiot meant i couldn't see the quest log/list was exactly where it was before and does exist.
