Carbine Studios is ready to unveil what it has envisioned for the upcoming F2P iteration of WildStar. Among other things, players can look forward to new content, an improved tutorial system, item and stat systems will be overhauled, more consistent challenges in dungeons, and new areas including Alpha Sanctum and Cryo-Plex PvP Arena.
A new rewards program will be introduced where players will be able to purchase or spend NCoin, enrolling in a Signature Plan or redeeming C.R.E.D.D. in order to earn these packages. The program is retroactive so anyone participating through the launch of WildStar's F2P version will have some spiffy awards waiting.
The tutorial system, the first areas of the game and the Arkship have all been streamlined for a better new player experience. Additionally, veterans will be able to bypass it completely should they so choose.
Current primary stats are being removed and four new ones are being added: Assault power, support power, health and armor. Secondary stats have been expanded to give players the very real ability to customize their characters to best suit their personal play style.
The team has plans to reveal much more over the coming weeks, so keep your eyes tuned to MMORPG.com or to the WildStar site for more information.
