The Stream Team: A trip to the new AQ3D museum

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

A new museum has opened in the world of Lore, and Massively OP’s MJ wants to visit! AQ3D has added in a new feature a bit back, but MJ missed the opening. It’s a museum that she can help fill. That means she’ll have to tear herself away from the housing — for a short […]

2024/04/12

Do you really want a survival sandbox to play but insist that you must be allowed to build vehicles for navigating the sky while doing so? And do you further insist that those vehicles cannot be planes but must instead be boats? Well, let me tell you, buckaroo, I like the cut of your jib. […]

2024/04/12

For the past several weeks, Overwatch 2 has been highlighting the variety of features that are en route with its April 16th Season 10 release, which has now culminated in the expected summary trailer to bring it all together in one sizzle reel. The new season, subtitled Venture Forth, stars the new nonbinary damage hero […]

Four years after MapleStory 2’s western sunset, the...

2024/04/12

We still mourn the loss of MapleStory 2 ’round these parts, particularly since the well-liked sequel appears to have been frustratingly canned as an apparent result of Nexon’s fiscal woes. And while we can always hope for a revival, we’re reminded of an old Reddit post from two years ago that invited fans to access […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

The release of Ultima Online’s publish 117 to the live servers isn’t far off now, as the third set of patch notes hit the test server this past week. The central focus of the update is the high seas – literally. The High Seas mini-expansion from years ago expanded the existing ocean content (seriously, this […]

Cozy multiplayer game Farm Together 2 is launching...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

You might not know this about me, but I really love the idea of farming in video games. I just… almost universally hate the implementation of farming in video games, especially games that took a look at FarmVille and thought, “Hey, let’s do that, but worse in every way!” And unfortunately, I haven’t managed to […]

Genshin Impact’s April 24 update adds a new area, new...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

Normally when Genshin Impact introduces a new character to its big giant gacha machine (which incidentally has helped developer Hoyoverse to be valued at $23B), it’s someone who wants to help players out, not actively kill them. That’s not going to be the case for the upcoming character that headlines update 4.6, who will act […]

MOP’s Chris has had his eye on Sky: Children of the Light for quite some time now, as he patiently waited for the game to make its way to PC. That time has finally come, so naturally he’s eager to share his first steps into this new universe with all of you! Join him today […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

Hot on the heels of its spring newsletter, Star Wars Galaxies rogue server SWG Legends has dropped its April content update, and as one Discord fan put it, “tldr patch notes – these devs are doing the work of the gods.” The core content live as of this morning is the space bounty hunting system.

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

Amazon has continued shoring up New World in the wake of last week’s slippery Season of the Guardian, with multiple updates this week. For starters, folks who were exploiting the Penetrating Shot and Poison Shot bugs are in for a world of trouble. The studio has disabled both skills as of last night and warns […]

EverQuest II devs address everything from hardcore...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

Back in February, Daybreak’s Darkpaw Games opened up an ask-me-anything thread on the EverQuest II official forums – and now the dev team is actually offering its answers, at least to some of the questions. While players did lob a few softballs – like asking the devs’ favorite expansions and favorite foods and the cheesecake […]

Diablo IV boss discusses whether season 4 constitutes...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

If I had a nickel for every time a game dev or a gamer insisted that a patch to a game constituted a whole new game, well I’d be rich enough I wouldn’t need this job anymore. Diablo IV’s Rod Fergusson doesn’t quite do that in his latest interview with IGN, preferring to attribute the […]

PlayStation players are flooding the Sea of Thieves...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

Sea of Thieves officially rolled into closed beta on PlayStation 5 early this morning, continuing its forked path far away from the exclusivity it once had. Access to the event, which runs from today through Sunday, is accessible only with a preorder of the game – just under 50 bucks, more for deluxe and premium […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

In hindsight, I feel like I was gentler toward Season of Mastery than I should have been. World of Warcraft has turned everything into that. WoW Classic just went all-in on just launching as many limited-time modes as possible to stop the darkness from creeping in, but between Plunderstorm and this newest thing, it’s clear […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

CIG is certainly not the first MMO to unleash an inordinate amount of fanfare for releasing a new game launcher, but even so, there is a lot of noise being made for the RSI Launcher 2.0’s arrival to Star Citizen to the point that the studio is likening its use to an “adventure.” Overblown or […]

2024/04/12

It’s part bard, part hard rock guitarist, and an all-new class for the Japanese version of Blue Protocol. It’s the Beat Performer, the headline act of the anime MMO’s April 24th update. Like some other MMO bards, the Beat Performer is a long-range magic caster that’s mostly described as a support class with only a […]

2024/04/12

Yes, that header is not lying to you; the second season of Zenith: Infinite Realms will indeed feature the aurora borealis. At this time of year, in this biome of the game, localized entirely within some of the random fight arenas you move through. And yes, you may see it, but you will be doing […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/04/12

So now that everyone loves the Fallout television series (except possibly for John Phillips Fallout, who was literally named to be the lead), the obvious question is whether or not Bethesda is going to go for its other long-running property as a TV show. IGN caught up with Todd Howard at the Fallout premiere event, […]

2024/04/12

The other day, Justin and I were joking about the Allan “Orion” Maki interview that turned out to be a massive three-hour affair. Orion has become an icon in the Lord of the Rings Online community because of his apparently insane work ethic and patience for the wackadoos in the playerbase (y’all know who you […]

The Abbey finally gets its wine! Now that she’s beaten Baba Lysaga and retrieved the magic gem, Massively OP’s MJ has completed all the steps to obtain wine for the The Abbey of Saint Markovia in DDO. That means she can get in the doors and go for the legendary Sunsword, the hopeful key to […]
