Wildstar Guides: PTR PvP Press Event & Daggerstone Devspeak
The Core was lucky enough to be invited as one of the media outlets for the U.S. Public Test Realm (PTR) Event yesterday. The event pitted Wildstar players against game journalists from MMORPG, GameSpot, IGN, Curse etc. as well as some Wildstar Devs in the newest PvP map; Daggerstone Pass. This huge 15 vs 15 player battleground map utilizes mounts, uplinks that call in airstrikes and most of all bombs. The bombs are the central piece to this BG, randomly spawning at each faction’s base, the bombs have a 40 second timer once picked up and can be used to blow up whatever you want (even your own teammates.)
The event was overall a bloodshed, a premade PvP guild made their presence known and proceeded to wipe our PvE-wearing, Daggerstone Pass virgin faces into the ground. That being said, it was a load of fun, even though I may have spent more time on a death screen than actually in the BG! The Devs were wonderful at not only assisting us newbs but answering any and all questions we may have had about the upcoming PvP changes. One commonly asked question? Yes, costumes have been added to battlegrounds!
Without further ado, check out the Dev Speak Video and let us know what you think about the new battleground in the comments below.
