The long-awaited Contentdrop 3 has not yet hit the live servers, but that certainly does not stop anyone from eagerly discussing everything that will be coming to us at the beginning of next year in WildStar. As usual, we have compiled the highlights for you here.
2 new instances: ProtoStar for young and old
Two important pillars of Contentdrop 4 will of course be the two already known dungeons: The “Protostar Academy” for newcomers, who can already dive into the new group fun at level 10. The focus here is on learning the game mechanics that will be crucial in all subsequent dungeons – the plunge into “cold water” should thus be somewhat softened.
The veteran version is called “The Ultimate Protogames” and is a completely different caliber. Although the difficulty is reminiscent of other veteran instances, the whole experience plays out like an adventure, as the challenges and environments heavily depend on random factors and player decisions. Unlike usual, the final loot is also not determined by a simple “Bronze, Silver, Gold” rating, but depends on how many points you have achieved – this is actually a crazy game show and you are the contestants.
New raid instance: “Augmentor 20”
Also for raiders, the 4th major patch will likely provide new content, although significantly less than initially assumed. The new 20-player instance will apparently only feature a single boss. Since most guilds have not yet completed the previous raid content, this is not a problem. Additionally, it is not yet known what difficulty “Augmentor 20” will have – it could be either a step in the previous challenges or even a small entry-level raid.
Overhaul of items
Currently, there is still a lot of discontent regarding existing items in the game – some items from adventures are significantly better than anything that can be obtained in the veteran instances or even in the 20-player raid. The rewards are intended to stand out more clearly – more difficult content should always yield better rewards.
However, these adjustments will still take a considerable amount of time, so it’s possible that they may not arrive in time – but there is optimism.
Shipboy missions for professionals
All players who enjoyed the crazy “Shipboy” outings during the leveling phase will be pleased to know that all these little mini-dungeons will receive a veteran version and will henceforth be available in the group finder.
In addition to better equipment, perhaps one or another housing item could also be a motivator to pay more attention to these contents again.
Old “new” daily area
PvP players get a frosty arena
Loyal players receive rewards
In the first months, players with active subscriptions were rewarded with different costume masks – after 2 of these masks, however, it was time to stop. This concept of “loyalty rewards” is intended to be revived, although no exact details are known yet – as soon as there are concrete approaches, you will, of course, hear about them from us.
