Specifically, season two lands August 16th and runs through October 15th. “This season will feature many of the same character growth bonuses introduced to the game during Season 1, with many additional […]

2024/08/09

While many MMOs are taking advantage of the summer season to run beach-themed holiday events, EverQuest II is going one further — and one deeper — with its Oceansfull Festival. The festival, which runs through August 21st, is an opportunity to run ocean-themed quests, collect flashy lures, play the clam shell game for new prizes, […]

2024/08/09

It’s time to celebrate summer in Destiny 2 via the time-honored tradition of slaughtering enemies and grinding currency to make special armor extra shiny. That’s right, the Solstice event is back, running between now and August 27th, with another round of bonfire burning good times for rewards. Regular players will find familiarity with this year’s […]

2024/08/09

Before we begin, we’re going to point out that this Tree of Savior story is specific to the standalone version operated by Papaya Play as opposed to the Steam edition run by IMCGames, and it’s that former edition of the OARPG that is expanding itself to better service Brazilian players with the launch of a […]

2024/08/09

If you were watching the QuakeCon 2024 opening ceremonies last night, you got a bunch of Elder Scrolls love – including a new expansion mod for Skyrim, the last single-player TES game, which is older than my children, oh no. But would-be Elder Scrolls Online players are also in for a treat as ZeniMax Online […]

Warframe of Mind: Partying like it’s 1999 at TennoCon...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/09

TennoCon is always a hotbed of Warframe (and now Soulframe) reveals, from new frames and primes to skins to the next content drops. But I am not sure any content was as anticipated as this year’s teased Warframe 1999. It could be just my own thought, but the fact that the main stage took up […]

2024/08/09

There was a pretty big exploit that ran rampant in Sea of Thieves when Season 13 went live. How big? Well, it introduced 300B in gold to the game’s economy and was taken advantage of by 20K players. Those are the figures shared by production director Drew Stevens in the game’s latest video news digest. […]

2024/08/09

Pax Dei is continuing its information onslaught in Discord as Mainframe Industries took the opportunity this morning to post a state-of-the-game memo to social media and Discord. “During the weeks following the Early Access launch, our teams have been focusing on fixing major issues and bugs to make your experience in-game smoother,” the studio writes.

2024/08/09

The end of this year is promising to be a pivotal one for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, with the PvE sandbox headed into early access in December. And while developer Visionary Realms has already published an FAQ, that didn’t mean that players had all of their questions answered, which leads us to the MMORPG’s […]

2024/08/09

Sometimes, I like to play a little game with MOP’s Bree. I say I like to because the game is “Give Bree An Aneurysm,” and I don’t think she actually likes this game. To be fair, I also don’t like this game, but it is predicated upon my seeing something so incredibly dumb that it […]

2024/08/09

As the initial post-launch population surge around Final Fantasy XIV’s expansion cools off, Square-Enix is winding down the temporary measures it added to avoid overpopulation. Dawntrail managed a smooth access from launch and onward, and now it’s time to start doing things like shutting down the probationary European data center of Shadow on August 27th. […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/09

Last week was a pretty big one for Lord of the Rings Online. The 17-year-old MMO opened up a pair of new progression servers, introduced its second-ever hobby with birdwatching, injected some real life into its PvP scene, and gave crafters a fun coop event to enjoy. Yet almost all of that was overshadowed by […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/09

Corepunk’s current paid alpha four appeared to be going well over the course of this week, barring a few issues with the EU and Korean servers – but the fun ride is over, as players apparently exploited a bug in the test build that has led Artificial Core to conclude an outright wipe is the […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/09

Considering how convoluted, nonsensical, and expansive World of Warcraft’s story has been over the past few decades, we’d say it might be best to largely forget all of that and focus down on the current expansion’s goings-on. If you’ve got four minutes and a high tolerance for Elves doing both terrible and noble things, then […]

2024/08/09

Welp, if you weren’t already worried about New World with its Aeternum on the way and its ongoing PC content drought, the drought just got droughtier. Droughtier is too a word. Back on August 6th, Amazon announced that there was an “issue with the seasonal leaderboards not updating properly” and that it was investigation. The […]

2024/08/09

There are more than a few things that can go wrong while piloting a spaceship in Star Citizen, but when alpha 4.0 drops, players are going to have to consider another thing to potentially worry about: the interior of their craft bursting into flames, which is the focus of this week’s episode of Inside Star […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/09

When Star Wars Galaxies originally launched back in 2003, it had a rule that was fairly peculiar for its day: Players were limited to just one character per server. The idea was that players could change their skills around as they played and so wouldn’t need more than one – plus, it would foster the […]

When you aren’t sure your healer and rogue can join in, what’s the best way to pass the time in DDO? A Tavern Brawl, of course! At least, that’s how Massively OP’s MJ will spend the time for this week’s D&D night. It appears she needs to save some wizards in Ta magical tavern in […]

2024/08/08

Back in June, at the height of the New World Aeternum announcement debacle, we did an Overthinking about what Amazon was doing – and why it wasn’t working. MOP’s Tyler delivered a potent line that resonated with me because it has broader applications than just New World: “I know this goes against traditional corporate marketing […]

2024/08/08

For those of you who do not play RuneScape and thus are unfamiliar with the game’s Ironman rules, it’s important to explain that it is not a challenge wherein you need to scavenge scraps and build power armor. Rather, it is a challenge wherein players are forced to be almost entirely self-sufficient and get as […]
