It’s a big week for a lot of MMOs, WildStar among them. The themepark will update to build 1.5.1 on May 4th, launching the Vault of the Archon, the next chunk of the game’s world storyline. The cash shop is getting a bundle of new goodies just for subbers, too, and a new “welcome window” will clue players into what’s going on in the game whenever they log in.
But the biggest news — at least for those anxiously awaiting the Steam launch — is the new tutorial, something many MMOs undertake before heading to the platform.
“We’ve added a brand new tutorial to teach new and returning players the basics of the game, and highlight some of the features that make WildStar uniquely awesome. Zip around on your own hoverboard, defeat swarms of enemies using your abilities, and check out the amazing things you can design on your own housing plot. And for players looking to jump straight to some of these features right after the new tutorial, the Jumpstart Pack available on the In-Game Store helps get you directly to the action.”
