Following the announcement of Closed Beta Test 2 starting this week along with more invites heading out, MMORPG started a live chat with Jeremy Gaffney, Executive Producer of Wildstar. Here are the consolidated notes.

Question 1

IMO quite well.  Water/aerial combat is where they have the most trickiness (so we tend to disincent that, water combat is often quite a pain anyways because people don’t necessarily operate in 3-space well (just ask Khan).)

 

Hit the break for more! Continue reading »

DevSpeak_Banner_landingpage

A new post was put on the Wildstar website today, and it is one that promises lots of future information. It is starting a series of videos called DevSpeak. We saw the first one a few weeks ago on Housing, and today they put one up on Movement.

As is usual, they started with a few frames of their Easter Egged disclaimers. They were, as usual, hilarious. Particularly funny is the URL they told people to go to in the last frame of the disclaimer, which you can actually follow. As a reminder it is dft dot ba slash dash, and then the first word of each of the first three paragraphs of the M30 patch notes post. So a little something like this dft.ba/-leaksthissure. I kid you not, this was the actual link mentioned, and it was their prank, not mine.

Also mentioned in the video are “serious” things like their different kinds of movement. They mentioned the usual WASD, mouse turning, and jumping. They then added double jump, rolling, and sprint, which by the way can be used while jumping. Jumping puzzles will be so much more fun with so many options!

In short, go and check out the video. It is pretty funny, informative, and exciting all at the same time.

There certainly was a lot of talk about this week – Hosts Carla, Drew, and Joe had their hands full with the last tidbits from Arkship EU 2013 and a slough of interviews to pour over across the Interwebs. In all of that, they still manage to yuck it up with some discussion about Chad “Pappy” Moore and the WildStar Central thread wherein photoshoppers (and paint-ers) turned his likeness into everything from a green monster to a princess. Plus, new music from Matthew Shine! We might have mentioned something about this Crimson Isle place too… and the pig roast that will make this place a must-visit vacation vista! Some rumored opportunity for mystery and adventure may draw people there too, but it’s mostly the pig roast. Bullet list with links after the break.

path-scientist

I recently changed my goals in Wildstar for my main character to include the Scientist path. For those who don’t know what the Scientist is, you should check out the post Torvox did a few weeks ago, called “Which Path Will You Take?“.

The Scientist path, along with the Settler path, has not been talked about very much. We know a few things, but in general, the gameplay is left up to our imagination. For this reason, I was initially planning to go Soldier, seeing as I had actually tried this path at Arkship and liked it.

As I considered my decision, with the new information about the housing system that made me want to create a lab, I realized that I would really prefer to roleplay a Scientist, as that is what I am in real life (well, grad student in chemistry anyway). So here is my backstory, written in true Scientific fashion. I hope you like this little dive into roleplay. What is your character’s backstory?
