WildStar's Heroes Evolved Update Adds More Freedom To Characters

June 28, 2016 Matt Chelen Comments

WildStar's Heroes Evolved update is now live on the game's Public Test Realm. This update is making major changes to characters, including allowing players to purchase a direct jump to level 50, as was announced the other day. Also included is the ability to level multiple paths, as well as switch between them at any time.

For the first time ever, players that decide to play as a Chua will be able to choose the Warrior class, while those that choose Aurin will be able to play as an Engineer. Not happy with your choice? You will be able to change your race and gender with new items from the Cash Shop.

The full set of new features included in the update are as follows.

Creating Level 50s: Players can purchase and create level-50 characters, allowing them to jump directly into max-level content. These characters will provide you with all of the necessary gear and system upgrades, along with some additional goodies to make sure you’re prepped for your big adventure on Nexus.

Multi-Queuing: This long-awaited feature will allow you to queue up for multiple instances, either solo or as a group. We’re excited to get this feature out there, but we’re going to need your help testing it and getting it ready to go. More info on that (and a special reward if you do) below.

New Race/Class Combinations: We’re adding two new race/class combinations to WildStar—Chua Warrior and Aurin Engineer. Sword-wielding space hamsters and gun-toting tree huggers are finally here!

Race and Gender Changes: You’ll be able to change your race and gender inside the Chop Shop in this update. Been wanting to change that battle-scarred Draken Male into a highborn Cassian female? Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

Path Master: You’ll also be able to learn and level up additional Paths, and switch between them any time you want. Become a super-smart explorer who likes to build stuff and blow it up at the same time!

More Account-Wide Offerings: We’re making Protostar Promissory Notes (reputation turn-in items) into an account-wide currency that can be used by all of your characters, along with making a number of AMP and Ability Tier Points account tradeable. Altaholics assemble!

Enhanced Arcterra Rewards: We are releasing some enhanced gear and other rewards to the Arcterra Soulfrost vendors, allowing players to get better prepared for veteran expeditions, dungeons and raids.
