2024/08/30

Can I gush for a little bit here? One of my absolute favorite recent indie games is Wildermyth, a title that seeks to replicate the experience of tabletop roleplaying in a slick, easy-to-use format. Coming out a few years ago, Wildermyth offered players the opportunity to go through campaigns that spanned decades of in-game time […]

Ankama, known around these parts for MMOs like Waven, Dofus, and Wakfu, is hosting its own convention this weekend in Tourcoing, France, which naturally means its stable of games is going to be joining in on the celebration.

If you read through MJ’s preview of the Age of Heroes update coming to Conan Exiles and started getting eager to test how its settlements would get new life breathed into them, you’re going to have to hold your horses for a second time: Following an earlier delay of public testing from August 22nd to […]

Massively on the Go: Pokemon GO’s Max Out season...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/30

The Pokemon Go fall seasonal update, coming September 3rd, is called Max Out, and if you haven’t kept up with the main series of games, you should just know that it’s a reference to the Sword and Shield games’ Dynamax system, not another level increase (from what we’ve heard). But that’s OK, as Niantic’s been […]

2024/08/30

Yes, we know you could technically already play Elder Scrolls Online on your Steam Deck with some workarounds and tweaks and tricks and allowances. But as of this week, it’s officially natively supported, so you won’t have to deal with any of that again. “We are thrilled to announce that The Elder Scrolls Online now […]

2024/08/30

I hadn’t even really thought about the fact that Champions Online has been out for 15 years now until I saw the anniversary post yesterday, but it shouldn’t really surprise me. The game was something I was covering after its launch rush back when I first started working at Massively-that-was, and ironically it was my […]

Flameseeker Chronicles: How to gear up in Guild Wars...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/30

Gearing in Guild Wars 2 is simultaneously really nice and also very frustrating. It’s nice because there is no uber tier of stats locked behind dungeons or raids, and you can get all of it through the trading post or crafting. Plus, since the level cap never goes up, your gear is never invalidated when […]

If you heard the earth-shattering rumble of millions of Diablo fans cheering in approval, it’s probably because the news came out that Blizzard is bringing back the fan-favorite Runewords system to the franchise with this fall’s Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred. In last night’s developer livestream, Blizzard said that expansion owners will be able to […]

Hey, remember when Blue Protocol completely ended the Japanese version and western launch? Yeah, that still really stings, thanks for bringing it up. As the MMO community gives a world-weary sigh over another promising title biting the dust before it ever comes out, there is word from the east that Blue Protocol isn’t completely finished just […]

This one goes out to all the non-crafters in the house. No, not you oddballs who opt out of the player economy on some weird anti-interdependence principle, but specifically the people who are fine with crafting and economy existing but just don’t really want to spend their time crafting themselves. See, I know these folks […]

Tonight she’s going to look forward to winter by entering DDO’s puzzle-laden quest Tower of Frost.

Last week, Guild Wars 2 became the latest western MMORPG to finally add proper housing, with pages lifted straight out of Wildstar and RIFT. I’m thrilled to see it happening, not just because I like Guild Wars 2 and want to see it thrive but because housing can be one of those features that adds […]
