The Warrior Reborn

The Warrior is a class that was already introduced, but it’s received a new coat of paint since then and it’s time to take a second look. The warrior is exactly what you expect if you’ve played any MMO before; they have big weapons, big armor, they can tank, and they can dish out the damage. The interesting twist with WildStar’s warrior is their arm canon, which looks like it will give the warrior a few options when it comes to dealing with enemies at a range.

Head over to the official Warrior class page to get the full details straight from the developers themselves, and let us know what you think of the Warrior’s reintroduction in the comments below.

First WildStar Livestream This Saturday

The very first of the WildStar livestreams will happen this Saturday, November 9th, at 12PM PST. The stream will be focused on a particular class, though there is no mention of which one will be featured. The team did state that it would be one of the classes that are already known, but there is a ton of new info that the team will be showing off during the stream.

Make sure to tune in to WildStar’s Twitch Channel on Saturday to catch the stream. If you can’t watch the stream live don’t fret, the footage will be made available to watch on YouTube about a week after the livestream.

Carbine Promises Big Reveals And Upcoming Beta Testing

WildStar has been one of the most exciting games to follow in it’s development. The level of fan interaction, reveals, and general flair they have brought to the process has been putting other games currently in development to shame (I’m looking at you ESO). This made it strange, however, when carbine seemed to grow somewhat quiet over the past couple of months. There was still the great fan interaction, but very little new news was coming out about the game. It turns out they had a very good reason, and are planning to make up for lost time in a big way.

The team at Carbine had been hard at work over the past few months getting the game ready for its next stage of development. Now that they have reached that stage they are ready to show off all the new things they have been working on. Not only that, but the team is planning on streaming some gameplay on Twittch, which is something everyone can get excited about. And, to top it all off, they announced that the next round of beta testing will be starting in December.

You can read about all the upcoming fun after the break. If you’re as excited as we are be sure to let us know in the comments below. Continue reading →

WildStar Devs Talk Cross Server Play

It’s always frustrating when you want to play an MMO with a buddy only to discover their character is hanging out on another server, or “realm” as the WildStar folks like to call them. Opening different ways of interaction between different realms is a great way to get more players to interact with each other.

This week the developers at Carbine Studios talked about their plans to get players communicating across these realms. Continue reading to hear what they have to say on the topic, and let us know what you think in the comments below. Continue reading →
