This morning, the Carbine crew (specifically Pappy, DD, and Bardic) streamed some of the new PTR/Drop 6 content, and answered some questions.

If you missed it, the archive can be found here.

Apart from only playing Dominion characters (BOO!) it was a pretty good stream.  Pappy showed off the new character creation (just the ‘new to WildStar’ level, so, not the brand new ‘New to MMOs’ level stuff).  Bardic showed off some of the store features (and let us know that the fortune coins are the best selling item on the PTR so far).  We found out that poor Pappy has been unable to get one of Madame Fay’s Spider Mounts so far.

Of course, the Q&A is the most important part.. and here’s what I scribbled down for notes from this section (may not be verbatim).

Q:  When will WildStar’s history advance?

A:  Vault of the Archon is being worked on – no ETA.

Q:  Is a new raid coming?

A:  Pappy said yes, with Marauders..but didn’t give the name.

Q:  Mouse look?

A:  Already on the PTR!

Q:  Pets participate in PvE?

A:  Nope, pets are cosmetic.

Q:  Are existing PTR characters eligible, or does something special need to be done?

A:  If it’s still there, you can use it.  PTR will be wiped, so don’t get attached.

Q:  Beta wipes?

A:  Yes, at least one.

Q:  Will pets be buyable?

A:  Yup, lots and lots of pets.

Q:  What happens with stuff ‘bought’ during Beta?

A: Only exists on Beta, will not be carried back to live.

Q:  Does spending Omnibits earn loyalty points?

A:  No

Q:  How are Omnibits earned?

A:  Normal playing, login rewards, or Madame Fay.

Q:  Can we have Drusera merchandise?

A:  Pappy says yes, and will start working on it.

Q:  New Races/Classes planned?

A:  Nothing to talk about today.

Q:  Any NDA on Beta?

A:  Nope.

 

I might have missed a few questions, but that’s what I’ve got so scribbled down.  Oh, yeah, and DD (CRB_Sunshine) says we need to tweet Bardic (@Bardic_) “#funnymoney” so… do that.  Don’t forget to leave feedback on your Beta experiences for Carbine on their forums here.
