Wildstar's Lead Systems Designer Joe Piepiora has written a new 'deep dive' blog about the big customization options coming to the game with the release of the INVASION: Nexus update.
He begins the post with a look at the brand new companion pets that players have been asking for since launch. Players will be able to look forward to 54 new companion pets that can be obtained in different ways thoughtout the game. Some can be earned, some are dungeon drops, some vendors will sell them and there are even a few that randomly drop from enemies.
Pets can be summoned wherever and whenever desired but only one can be present at any given time. Pets are cosmetic only and will not participate in battle.
Customization will also be enhanced with the new Holo-Wardrobe system. Costume slots will not be physically stored by players any more and item appearances will become available account-wide once unlocked. Costume pieces can also be used in multiple outfits with different colors etc.
Lastly, Piepiora writes that all of the changes and new features coming in customization are as a direct result of player feedback and input.
