List of WildStar Emotes
In the list below, you’ll find 84 different character emotes. Emotes are special Slash Commands that describe different actions of your character, and in some cases they can be animated. Each emote always starts with / (slash). Once you press Enter, you’ll be able to type emote in a chat. Please be aware that some of the emotes listed below are not final, and might be replaced. Emboldened words in the list below are animated emotes.

PvP Details about Arenas and Battlegrounds
The latest WildStar DevSpeak focuses on Arenas and Battlegrounds and finally reveals additional information about PvP features. The interesting thing is that both features have much in common:
- They can be played in either open or rated mode.
- They both reward you with PvP vendor currency known as Prestige.
- In open PvP world after being ganked, you respawn with 30 seconds of PvP invulnerability, unless you attack someone
- Rated matches give you rating-specific rewards and allow ELO matchmaking (ELO is a measure of your strength calculated from your performance in rated PvP. ).
- Levels and gear stats are normalized, in this way balanced matches will let you focus on crucial things in PvP like avoiding telegraphs and fast reacting.
Wildstar Attributes Guide
Once you open the Character Screen (P) you’ll find a list of stats completely different from the ones you get used to in other MMOs. In WildStar, you can’t easily define Stats (Attributes), since they have different roles for almost each class, and provide subtle character development. On the Character Screen, Attributes are divided into two tabs: Primary Attributes and Secondary Attributes.
During the character’s progression your stats will automatically increase per level, and additional stuffs that also affect your attributes are Gear, Runes, and AMPs.
Before we continue with detailed explanation of Primary Attributes, I would like to draw your attention on definition of base stats: Assault and Support Powers, since those powers have the main role in many spells:
 | Assault Power affects damage and determines the effectiveness of Assault abilities and is subject to diminishing returns. |  | Support Power affects damage or healing effectiveness of Support abilities available in the Second Skill Tree under Support Tab. |
WildStar Guild Basics
One of the most important features in every MMO – guilds, has standard options we’ve seen so far in other MMO games and a few new, interesting ones. In WildStar, every moment spent playing with your guildmates means a lot to you and your fellow guildies.
How to create a guild in WildStar?
Ask a guard in your capital city about Guild Services and he will show you location of a guild management NPC on the city map. Prepare 10g and bring no one but yourself when you are level 12, because that’s all you need to register your guild. And some design affinity, since you have to create your guild emblem using one background and one foreground icon, found on two long lists. If you change your mind about the look of your guild emblem, you can always change it later for a small sum of influence (more about this later). You can also change names of three starting guild ranks (leader, council and member) while creating a guild.

Guild basic functions
- Guild bank – unlock and rename guild vault tabs where you can deposit and withdraw items, deposit gold, set gold withdrawal allowance and repair limit, log tabs with every guild bank action displayed. You start without guild vault tabs so you have to spend influence to unlock the first one.

- Customizable guild ranks – allow you to create and customize existing guild ranks and their permissions – chat, bank logs, invite, demote, rename guild ranks, etc. Although it says that you can enter 25 characters, max of 16 characters is allowed (it is a typo or a bug).
- Guild tax – optional 5% tax that applies on every amount of gold looted by every guild member. Your money will get contributed to the guild vault if your guild leader decides to turn this on. For a leveling guild it might be the best to skip this until everyone gets to mid levels.

WildStar Lore Collections
Mr. Chad Moore, Lead Narrative Designer on WildStar revealed some of the aspects of Lore Collections while giving interview to Serge during Arkship EU 2013.
WildStar Datacubes
Datacubes represent audio logs and research notes left behind by the Elden. These notes explain what they were doing in particular areas, as well as telling a larger story about what exactly what they were doing on Nexus. Eventually it will give insight into what happened to the Elden and why they disappeared 1 000 years ago. You will stumble upon these Datacubes in the open world, and finding them will give you a lore reward.
