Community Beta Key Giveaways
Giveaways for everyone! That sums up pretty much yesterday in Wildstar. Community websites across the globe got a chance to give away beta keys to their visitors. This is the first time Wildstar fans can get a chance to test the game before release, without being picked by Carbine’s random number generator. We are very honored to be among the websites given the opportunity to make their visitors happy. Just in case you want to increase your chance of getting a beta key you can apply for it in various ways on different fansites. Here is the list of all websites giving out keys separated by region (and as seen on the official website for the USA, for the EU, for German fans and for French fans).
Weekend Wildstar Livestreams – The Stalker class and some PVP action
The weekend behind us finally saw a premiere of a dev speak video about the Stalker class. We already wrote how the livestream was postponed couple of times due to holidays and sickness, but this Saturday everything was ready for the big show.
The Stalker was also the last class to be shown. To mark this occasion WildStar also decided to hold big PVP, “Battle of the Century”, event which was lead by Lead Narrative Designer, Chad Moore and the producer, Stephen Frost.
WildStar’s Winter Beta 2 patch
The latest beta patch for WildStar brought light visual improvements, bug fixes and some significant tuning of classes.
It might sound disappointing that there’s no real new content here, or that level cap is still the same, but for some that won’t be the worst news they got. Developers actually made female characters more realistic reducing their, until now, flatteringly curved figures. Based on further feedback, developers may change this decision in the future.
Additionaly, mmorpg.com did “Ask Me Anything” with Stephen Frost, Design Producer of the game, and among many interesting things Frost said, MMORPG was inclined to estimate Wildstar release date somewhere between March and May, this year.
This is the final third, where features are being locked down, content is being packed in and tailored, and bugs are being brutally squashed. Tie that in with the announcement schedule I mentioned earlier, and it’s possible we’ll be seeing WildStar launch sometime between March and May
Here’s hope that those words are true.
The Stalker WildStar Livestream postponed
The Stalker Livestream that was originally planned for tomorrow will be moved for the next Saturday.
In his post on twitter, David Bass a.k.a. CRB_Scooter said the main reason for this sudden decision is his illness.
Thought I was getting better, but this illness got way worse today. Going to have to postpone the stream this weekend, sorry all!
This is the second time the mentioned Livestream is getting delayed since the Carbine team decided to push it back after the holidays. Finally, Carbine said the Livestream will definitely happen on Saturday, January 18th at 12PM PST.
