In preparation for the upcoming WildStar Open Beta period from May 8th through May 18th, 2014, Carbine team released new patch notes #6670.
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.
Are you one of the lucky people who has got a chance to play the WildStar beta? If you are then I’m pretty damn jealous, and I’m guessing I’m not the only one. Luckily those of us who have not got a chance to dive into WildStar can still immerse ourselves in a semblance of the game thanks to some free music tracks courtesy of the game’s composer, Jeff Kurtenacker.
12 tracks from the upcoming game have been posted over on SoundCloud. Some of the tracks have been released before, but it’s still nice to have a little collection of the music put together for players to enjoy. Check them out, and let us know how you think the game’s musical score is sounding in the comments below.
Mounts or speeders are important feature in every game, and that is the main reason why Carbine team has put a lot of effort to make this form of transportation fan and unique. WildStar will provide mounts (speeders) in a form of creatures and vehicles, which can be categorized as ground and flying mounts. Some WildStar mounts will be introduced early in the game, through quests or like a temporary mounts, but, when you reach higher levels, there will be permanent mounts with different abilities. Since the cost of the first mount is 10 gold, our suggestion is to start saving your money on time.

Money making guide is made with a basic idea to help you get enough money for different WildStar features. The progression in this game comes with a handful of features like house, mounts, amps and a hybrid monthly subscription C.R.E.D.D. Thus, you need a constant inflow of cash through the game.

With some clever customization and use of Medic’s abilities, players are able to create characters that will both do DPS and heal, in some cases even at the some time. Several abilities that they posses create fields which can then be strategically placed on the battlefield so that they damage enemies and heal friendlies that stand in them.
Except for Fields, the Medic’s power is well placed in lethal Resonators and Probes. Who will bother complaining about medium armor, when enemies will have big problems deflecting Medic’s hyper-offensive attacks and pesky Probes.
