Of course, the developers of WildStar will also be present at this year’s PAX East, a major gaming convention in Boston, USA. Most of the talk has been about the endgame of the wacky sci-fi fantasy MMORPG. This is also supported by the videos we are showing you here. The first illustrates the so-called Warplots, funny as ever, and with the second, we are given a glimpse into the variable 20- and 40-man raids, but beware, these are not for the faint-hearted!
The endgame, or Elder Game, is the centerpiece of WildStar. If there’s one thing that the folks at Carbine Studios constantly preach, it’s that the ongoing enjoyment of gameplay at max level is definitely part of it. For this, we are already expecting a huge package of content at level 50 upon release, and in this case, the CBL (Carbine Studios Delivery Service) delivers at the expected time. On June 3rd, 2014, it will finally happen.
For those of us who have no idea what Warplots are all about, here’s a brief and concise explanation: These are fortifications used in spectacular 40 vs. 40 PvP battles, meaning battles for up to 80 players!
We now know that coordinated PvP groups will clash in the Warplots. But fans of sandbox features will also have their chance, as you can expand your fortress in many ways. You can find more information about the war bases on the official page: http://www.wildstar-online.com/de/game/features/warplots/
Besides Warplots, WildStar offers plenty for those who prefer player versus player battles in smaller groups: In arenas and battlegrounds, you will have the chance to slay a manageable number of players.
In raids, Carbine is oriented towards Vanilla World of Warcraft. According to the philosophy of game designer Stephan Frost, raids are not for casuals anyway, and therefore, WildStar goes hardcore with 20-man groups. Once the 20-man raid Genetic Archives is completed, the 40-man Datascape will be even tougher (you can read more about it here).
