WildStar's Next Update Expands Player's Power Beyond Max Level

WildStar's next update has a name, Power of the Primal Matrix. It's a big one and introduces systems to expand player's power beyond max level, through the Primal Matrix: a sphere grid that unlocks at level 50, and can be activated by collecting Primal Essences, an element found throughout Nexus.

Almost anything you would normally do at max level rewards you with Primal Essences: dailies, PvP, PvE, contracts, and just exploring the world.

As you collect Primal Essence and progress through the Primal Matrix, you’ll gain additional power in the form of ability points, new abilities, and stat increases, some of which will provide bonuses for the three new character stats also being added to WildStar: Toughness, Tenacity, and Hope.

Those three stats could be applied to WildStar itself.

Also in the works, classic PvE content is getting a Prime difficulty level for maxed players, increasing enemy prowess and the rewards they guard.

Two new content arenas also wait to be explored. The first is called Coldblood Citadel, and is a frigid 5-player Prime dungeon tasking players with slaying the warlord Harizog Coldblood. The other is Evil from the Ether and is a 1-5 player Prime Expedition, where players explore a derelict transport vessel.

The Power of the Primal Matrix update will be available on the PTR sometime next week, and will arrive in WildStar next month.
