Wildstar GamesCom Community Questions

PAXGC_banner

GamesCom is the biggest European gaming expo and we will be in attendance this year. Lucky for us, NCSoft and Carbine will be there to showcase Wildstar and we will be hovering around their booth throughout the event to bring you the latest and the biggest news.

As some of you may know, we have a tradition where we ask the game developers questions that you, the community, have for them. We did this for every convention we attended so far and for various games. Things will not be different with Wildstar. Feel free to leave your questions for Wildstar developers in the comments bellow or on Twitter or Reddit and we will pick the best ones and take them to GamesCom to present them to the devs. Please avoid asking questions that you know will not get answered (i.e. when’s the first expansion coming :S).

You can expect first news to start coming on Wednesday, 21st and we promise to bring you gameplay footage first thing in the morning.

Wildstar Exiles Character Creation Demo

Not everyone was able to visit GamesCom 2013 and see what Carbine had in store on for their booth visitors. We tried to capture as much footage as we could. Among that footage we tried capturing Character Creation process. Carbine removed all the actual customization options that you will see in the full game (this was just a convention demo), but they left in a Randomize button that changed your head and face styles randomly. We tried to click several times for all Exile races so you can see all the different options that the game is surely going to provide at release.

Make sure you choose HD quality since we shot the footage in full HD.

WildStar Esper Class

WildStar Esper
Espers are masters of the mind who tap into powerful psychic energies to lash out and incapacitate enemies or strengthen and protect their friends. The connection between the mind and body is a powerful thing, and no one demonstrates this better than an Esper.

 
Rare individuals that display unusual mental fortitude, Espers must undergo rigorous training in order to harness the turbulent, chaotic energies of the mind – eventually learning to focus and transform this energy into telekinetic power. Once they have mastered this ability, Espers learn to use the psyblade – a sharp and deadly projectile weapon propelled through the air by the force of their minds.
 
But the psyblade is not the only weapon in the Esper’s arsenal. They can also manipulate mental energy to create illusions so convincing they are capable of inflicting very real damage on their enemies. This same technique can be used to bolster friends, allowing them to return to the fray after being injured in battle. A fully trained Esper can turn the tide in any conflict, sustaining and healing their allies while dishing out devastating mental blasts against their foes.

WildStar Engineer Class

Hard working class of WildStar! They dedicated their lives to making life better for everyone and got very little in return, still no one thought much about Engineers. However, all that changed with the innovation of indestructible Exo-Suits, clever and improved Bots and powerful missile launchers.

 
With such equipment Engineers are capable of both causing mayhem, and enduring enemy’s heavy hits, transforming them into hardened soldiers. They can act as DPS with medium or long range attacks, or plowing through enemies as Tank.
 
Impressive selection of gadgets is what makes Engineers interesting. Besides customizable missile launchers, Bots will be important for attacks because they can be used for tanking, DPS, CC, and to top it off, Bots can also be used for healing. It would be better not to mention fantastic Exo-Suit which amplifies Engineers abilities or defense, but having it in mind, it is clear that everything mentioned makes this WildStar class more than just an equal with other classes on the battlefield.
