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.
The WildStar site has been updated with new information about Contracts and how they will function when the Invasion: Nexus update goes live. Contracts, according to writer Joe Piepora, are ways for top level players to be able to progress to great gear through bite-sized, repeatable content.
INVASION: Nexus brings tons of new, community-feedback based content to the game. Contracts give players who are short on time a new way to earn awesome gear, while aesthetic-related improvements like the Holo-Wardrobe and brand-new vanity pets let players cruise Nexus in style. Also incoming is a swath of new content, like a 20-player raid, a new adventure and expanded PvP options!
