When speaking about customization options in MMORPG’s, your mind normally wonders to hair color, hair style and perhaps some clothing dyes. Well, Wildstar isn’t that limited, not by a longshot. As the latest devblog from Carbine Studios highlights, there’s no shortage of things to customize in Wildstar. And we’re not talking about your character’s visual appeal alone. No, the list is a lot longer. Mounts? Sure, huge variety, but then you get to paint them or add certain specific features. There are most likely thousands upon thousands of combinations in Wildstar.
Worried about your stats? Well, past level 15, Wildstar’s item customization options include a sort of socket-system that will allow you to boost a stat or give up on certain benefits and invest points into other, more useful things. All on the same item. And then there’s the option to tailor your class’s skill tree with various combinations that you can modify on the go. Oh, and did we mention an extensive (and probably extremely complicated) crafting system? And when we mean extensive, we mean reeeeeeeeeally extensive.
Added to that, Wildstar gets housing, with everything you’d expect (furniture, decorative objects, a mirror to gaze upon your own beautiful self). And not just housing in the conventional sense of building a small home. You can build and customize your own military base in Wildstar – more on that later, Carbine promises. Oh, and you get to use and customize hover-boards, which frankly look amazing. I remember loving hover-boards back in Anarchy Online, and I’m excited to see a sci-fi over-the-top MMORPG bring them back. Wildstar will have variety, that’s for sure, from character creation to end-game.
What features are you the most excited about?
