    Battlegrounds, arenas, and warplots: How PvP works in WildStar

That's just one of the PvP-related questions I asked at a press event last week at Carbine Studios with the WildStar team.

Your level and gear stats will be normalized to provide an equal playing field. WildStar's telegraph system ensures that PvP is extremely reactive, which is typical, but what's not typical is being able to see where your enemy is aiming that AoE or conal attack.
