In the SF-MMO WildStar, beta testers were rewarded with “surprise bags,” which contained rewards that were otherwise unattainable. After the beta, it seemed every chance for these rewards was gone, but Carbine gives players another chance.
Surprise bags or boomboxes – these are treasure chests, one of which can be opened every 22 hours. Inside are elite versions of housing kits, the “Raiding” costume (modeled after the Mortal Kombat lightning god), and various other popular goodies that players are eager for and which can fetch some platinum on the market. The main prizes are two “epic” mounts, a special warthog for the Dominion and an Equivar (a kind of psychedelic horse) for the Exiles.
The surprise bags were given to players who participated in the WildStar beta test as a reward for their pioneering spirit. For players who missed out or whose supply is now running low (because they’re plowing through their reserves like a Chua through a mountain of peanuts) or for everyone else, there is now a second chance to get their hands on these bags, which strangely enough are called “bags” in German: Those who try out the new content drop on the public test server and complete quests there will later receive a message from the proto-Santa on the live server. And in the mail, there aren’t the ham sandwiches that gold spammers are now sending, but: more surprise bags!
- For completing the first 5 quests on the PTR, there is one box each
- For completing another 5 quests, again one.
This way, players can secure up to 14 surprise bags.
