So what do you think about WildStar’s new upcoming zone, Arcterra, after yesterday’s big dev blog about it? Carbine figured that players would have a few questions about the unexplored continent and thus hosted a community AMA to illuminate the finer points of this addition.
“Arcterra has its own continent map. (It’s a big place),” the devs noted. “Arcterra is probably about half the size of Algoroc.”
In Arcterra, there will be a new mission for each of the game’s paths, a new issue of Tales Beyond the Fringe, a new pet to collect, new contracts to fill, more housing decor, and the return of many iconic NPCs. The devs also confirmed that players will see an increase in premium rune drops in both raids and rune bags.
Time was spent in the AMA hyping up the density of public events in the region and pointing out that the UI will now show where these events are and how many people are required for each. “These events move around the zone creating a ‘dynamic’ play experience,” the team said. “Sometimes you’ll have to rescue a Lopp caravan that is buried in the snow, other times you’ll collect crystals while riding cyclones and other times you’ll be helping a guy make a stew.”
Stew!
