Mission: Nexus

It’s October 2nd as I write this. This episode has been done for two weeks now, and I just couldn’t motivate myself to post it. It’s sooner than I expected, and I’m profoundly sad to be saying this. Mission: Nexus is coming to an end. Our love of WildStar remains and is stronger than ever. There’s a lot coming to be excited about for fans. We’re still players, we just don’t have the time to produce the podcast anymore. It’s not you, it’s us. We promise. I’ve turned over in Continue Reading

We’re back, and boy do we have some big topics to cover! Carbine announced that WildStar will be moving to Megaservers in an upcoming change, and the crew gives our thoughts on what that means for the game, players and the future of WildStar. PAX Prime happened, and we got some new, juicy details out of the event regarding a solo dungeon: Omni-Core 1. Unfortunately, it’s not all good news this episode, as we discuss the depature of Jeremy Gaffney. We also want to give a special thanks to Arawulf, Continue Reading

Long-time listeners are going to enjoy this one. The Crew decided to take a night and just chat like the good old days. No segments, no crazy over-production, just a good old conversation about WildStar. We cover what we’ve been up to (or not up to, as it were.) We also talk a bit about the Gamescom reveals of Shade’s Eve, The Defile and changes to the Silver Dungeon Attunement step. Finally, Datix takes a moment to climb up on his soapbox and talk some sense into these people preaching Continue Reading

Hey, look! Mission: Nexus is publishing really late again. Shocker. Well this time I have a valid excuse involving a talking raccoon and a downright heartwarming tree. Either way, the irony of this show’s topic isn’t lost on us. That’s right, we’re talking about time management. How do you balance playing an MMO like WildStar alongside your regular responsibilities? The crew gives you our tried-and-true methods, along with some tips to effectively spend your time in the game as well! We’ve got some fun letters from our listeners this time Continue Reading

Let’s face it, nobody’s perfect. WildStar and Carbine are pretty darn close, though! Of course, there’s always going to be some things in any MMO that annoy players, and the WildStar is no exception. So at the risk of tarnishing our “fanboy” image, the Mission: Nexus crew decided to take an episode to discuss some of the small things in WildStar that bug us. (Spoiler Alert: We still love the game like a tubby kid loves cake.) Of course, we keep the criticism constructive, so don’t expect epic levels of Continue Reading

We’ve hit a new milestone with this one, listeners! That’s right, 25 amazing episodes of the Mission: Nexus Podcast. This time around, Datix, Domichi and Krissy navigate the topic of the week: WildStar’s first big update. We chat about what we’ve been up to and our thoughts on The Strain, along with responding to some listener emails and the general chit-chat you’ve come to know and love tolerate. Also, Skya debuts with her new segment on lore, telling us a bit more about the significance of the Brightland name in Continue Reading

Well, we’re late. Other than a 48-hour Internet outage at Datix’s house, there’s not a great excuse for it. The siren call of Nexus sang it’s way into my brain and shut down my responsibility receptors, and what free time I had was spent playing WildStar. To make it up to you, please accept this gift of Mission: Nexus, now with 50% more podcast! Yep, it’s a long one this time around. We had some fun with angry forum posts, spent a little time chatting about what we’ve been doing Continue Reading

Dude…seriously. This is it. The last episode about a game that isn’t even released yet, and what better way to celebrate than being joined by Arawulf! You may know Arawulf as the owner of WildStarFans.net, or his own podcast, the Planet Nexus Cast. He’s a great friend of ours, and we’re honored he took the time to join us for a discussion of whether or not we feel WildStar is poised to succeed. As always, Datix and Domichi, everyone’s favorite podcast personalities they’d kill if they could get away with Continue Reading

So we all have one: The Launch Week Ritual. Maybe you take time off of work to play. Perhaps you tell your family and friends that you love them, but you can’t see them again for some time. Of course, it could be that you just hit the grocery store and buy pallets of caffeinated beverages, chips and antacids. Whatever your ritual is, we’ve got them too, and we decided to share our plans for how we’ll spend the first official week of WildStar’s launch. Will Cacuin abandon all responsibilities Continue Reading

It’s a brand new episode of the Mission: Nexus podcast, now with 50% more Skype Chat noises in the background! (Datix Note: Sorry bout that folks.) As always, we bring you the latest WildStar news, including a rundown of promotions/depatures and all around shuffles at Carbine Studios. The crew also gathered to give you the second half of PAX East story time. Story time you say? That’s right, children. Gather ’round and Old Man Domichi will regale you with tales guaranteed to put you to sleep on the edge of Continue Reading
