Carbine showed us its true character today, and I'm not talking about that stout green fellow. A copy of the current beta patch notes made their way onto the internet via some ne're-do-well over the weekend. In response to this leak Carbine posted the full notes on their webpage so that honorable fan sites and news networks could cover this now public information. Additionally Jeremy Gaffney popped over to Wildstar Central and offered to answer what questions he could for curious fans. I was kind of impressed that he spent his Monday evening doing that. I was really impressed when he was still doing it close to 2am when I went to bed (central time) and I was just blown away that he was still active in that thread (now over 22 pages) today!
I could spend some time going over these patch notes and dissecting every little tidbit of information but honestly, beta patch notes...especially just one set of them, are basically worthless from an outside perspective. Sure, we've got ability names and crafting profession notes, some mission types for Settlers. I guess that's kind of neat, but not really useful. It doesn't tell us much about what the game will look like in six months. (Calling it here, October, I'm never wrong, except for always.) On Friday I will devote a lot of time to the Gaffer's thread on Wildstar Central. Today I want to talk about Wildstar Wednesday
At some point today David Bass took a break from making forts out of the couch cushions to get Jeremy Gaffney to take a break from trolling internet forums in order to give us a beta report.
