Why is WildStar Beta ending on March 16
Many who currently play WildStar Beta were kind of disappointed by the decision from Carbine Studios to end Winter Beta. Instead of it, they will be offering very limited beta, reserved only for weekends and only to players who reached level 32 or pre-order the game, as we covered in this post.

WildStar announced the second wave of December beta invites
According to CRB_Cougar, WildStar fans can expect the second wave of Stress Test beta invites for this weekend. While you’re waiting for a beta key, additional details addressing this topic unveil that this wave will be slightly larger than a previous one.
Confirmed.
This is also not the only type of key going out this week.
CRB_Cougar posted after the first wave of December beta invites the following information:
In the near term; a Winter Beta stress test wave and one more wave (slightly larger than tonight’s wave). Beyond that, plans can/will change.
I suspect you’ll start to see some partner beta keys start to show up too (don’t hold me to any timing here though, as I know we are TALKING to partners but I don’t know that we’ve finalized anything yet along these lines)
WildStar AMPs guide with vendor locations
AMPs System is part of WildStar Action Set Builder (default key ‘B’). At level 6 you’ll unlock AMPs. You can find AMP tab right next to your Abilities tab. This feature allows you to get extra stats and additionally tune character’s build. While leveling, your character earns AMP points. At level cap, your character will have 45 AMP points obtained through leveling. At level 50 you can get 10 more AMP points by spending Elder Gems. Elder gem vendor sells item called AMP Power Upgrade that unlocks an additional point of AMP Power. A maximum of 55 AMP Power can be unlocked through leveling and bonuses. Placing points into unlocked AMPS adds new features like: abilities cooldown reductions, adds lifesteal to your attacks, improves secondary stats, unlocks new spells, adds effects on heal, damage, kill, abilities and etc.
Once you open AMPs Tab you’ll see 6 AMP sections – Assault, Support, Utility, Hybrid A/S, Hybrid A/U, Hybrid S/U grouped in three circles, representing Tiers. Each Section reflects the play stile of a player. While Assault gives more commodities for damage dealers, Support section gives more commodities to healers and tanks, Utility gives more commodities to PvP combat, Hybrid A/U; A/S; S/U with their commodities tries to connects Assault, Support and Utility.

WildStar PvP AMA recap
Today, WildStar subreddit hosted WildStar PvP AMA, where PvP team answered questions about Arenas & Battlegrounds. CRB_Bardic – Jen Gordy, PvP Systems Lead, CRB_KevinLee – Kevin Lee, PvP Systems Designer, and CRB_JTal – Jeff Tallon, Itemization Designer, shared additional information about Battleground and Arena design, maps, philosophies, ratings, and PvP progression. We’ve summarized some of the most interesting answers, just in case you missed anything.
How do you intend to address the problem of very large/wide AoE telegraphs which deal high damage being naturally strong in PvP, without gimping the classes which use them in PvE, where the size of the telegraph isn’t really a big deal?
We have been introducing line of sight blocking structures to help you break up some of these massive fights. The new props added into Walatiki and Halls are to address this. Much of this comes down to map design when you have this type of combat system. We’re taking a lot of our learning with us for future game types.
