Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/16

MOP’s Chris and his crew are headed back to war! Specifically, they’re going to take a bit more time inside of the Bozja Southern Front in Final Fantasy XIV to slay enemies, open more of the battlefield, and (very likely) talk about Dawntrail. It’s going to be a Bozja good time today at 2:00 p.m. […]

Massively on the Go: Splatoon 3’s Big Big Run...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/16

As I shamelessly teased in the WRUP last week, I managed to make some time for Splatoon 3’s new Salmon Run event, the Big Big Run. Big Run normally is just a more major Salmon Run with a high score list and maybe a new King Salmonid. Big Big Run was essentially the same, but […]

2024/06/16

The celebration of all things EverQuest and EverQuest II that is Fippy Fest 2024 has come to a close, but not without a gaggle of reveals during the opening hour of its livestream, including information about both games’ next expansions and the opening of EQII’s next progression server. We’ll begin with the server opening, Anashti […]

One Shots: When the cuteness dug too deep

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/16

In this past week’s adventures, Utakata claimed to have plumbed the great depths and mysteries of Khazad-dûm… with a mouse-person. I don’t remember that chapter in Lord of the Rings, but it’s a very big book and I’m bad with reading, so who knows? In any case, whatever lies in the shadows is unprepared for […]

The Daily Grind: What brings you back to MMORPGs you...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/16

I don’t tend to go back to games that I left all that often, but that’s less a function of being unwilling and more just having stuck with the same games pretty consistently for a very long time now. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, though. In fact it’s pretty simple in an abstract sense to […]

Tarisland provides new footage of the new...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/16

Fellas in Tarisland can weave spells and wear swish-looking coats and robes. As a treat. That’s right, the MMORPG is showing off what the male Mage class looks like, this time in video form, and if you were expecting someone who looks handsome and sassy while wielding explosive power, then you were right. Even if […]

2024/06/15

If you’re going to be stuck in status limbo, it helps to at least show signs that you’re still alive and kicking. So good for PlanetSide 2 on posting a dev blog talking about the state of the game and what project fans might expect to see in the coming months. The (Toadman?) team came […]

Virtual game show The Finals spread its reach to all corners of the globe — and to all corners of time — with the debut of this month’s Season 3 and the new World Tour. “In the World Tour, you’ll compete to climb the ladder from Bronze to Gold and beyond. Season 3 will focus […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/15

Beating bosses is almost always a lucrative endeavor, and V Rising is no different. Vampires need loot, too! In fact, Massively OP’s MJ will be able to acquire plans for a tannery once she kills off Keely the Frost Archer. And once she gets to working on leather, she can improve her castle heart and […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/15

You know that old hypothetical of “Would you want to know when you die or would you rather be ignorant of it?” A slightly less morbid version of that is, “Would you want to know how many years is left in your favorite MMO or would you rather stay uninformed so that you could maintain […]

2024/06/15

If you’re a RuneScape fan who was looking forward to the return of the in-person RuneFest this year after its four year-long hiatus, we unfortunately have some bad news to report: Jagex has had to postpone the event as a result of its partner, the showrunner, completely folding this year.

The Daily Grind: What uncommon crafting skills would...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/15

Just as how MMOs tend to skew toward a standard array of generic classes, so to do these games’ crafting systems seem to be cut-and-paste from the other titles around it. Need heavy armor? Call a blacksmith. Fancy a potion or two? Roll up an alchemist. But who says that MMO crafting has to stay […]

The Stream Team: On the path to AQ3D’s new Oracle class

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/14

A new class has just surfaced in AdventureQuest 3D — the Oracle! Filled to the brim with phenomenal cosmic powers (but not confined to an itty bitty living space!), the Oracle twists and melds fate to her own will, weaving together devastation and destiny. Obviously, Massively OP’s MJ wants to be one! How could she […]

Betawatch: Tarisland gets an early start in China

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/06/14

Huh, are we really almost there with Tarisland? The game is already out in China, and it’s launching worldwide next week, complete with Lady Paladins? These neverending betas for crowdfunded games have clearly poisoned my brain, so I cannot see that and think it’s anything other than blindingly fast, but I guess when your business […]

2024/06/14

Back in 2020, we first learned about Gran Saga, a character-driven anime MMORPG for PC and mobile from Korean developer NPixel that made its initial launch in January 2021, but we’ve otherwise seen it fall off of our radar since it appeared to be solely housed within South Korea at the time. Three years later, […]

Here at Massively Overpowered, we cover as much of our genre as we can. Big or small, indie studio or major studio, PC, browser, or mobile; if it’s inside of our general wheelhouse, we’ll give it a peek. You all know this by now. So seeing us cover something called Land of Might likely won’t […]

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you get to loaf off and do nothing. Here comes Elder Scrolls Online to tell you to get up from the couch… and then sit right back down in your chair to do some hardcore, relentless, edgelord crafting for the rest of the month! The fantasy MMO announced that […]

The Heidel Ball presentation event has always been a big deal for Black Desert, and the 2024 edition of the affair is doing things up big indeed. How, you might ask? By using a literal castle as its stage when it goes live on Saturday, June 22nd. The presentation will be held at Beynac-et-Cazenac, France, […]
