The Stream Team: Getting chummy in Warframe 1999
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Entrati accused Massively OP's MJ of not knowing HEX well enough to know what they want in Warframe 1999. So now she will be heading back in time again with the sole purpose of getting chummy with the group. And who knows? Maybe...
Terminull Brigade is a co-op third-person roguelike hero shooter that promises ‘endless builds’ in each run
If you can withstand the mental damage of an intentional misspelling of the word "terminal," player characters called Rogueteers, and some questionable artistic decisions related to the female form, then you can perhaps dig in to Terminull Brigade, an upcoming co-op roguelike shooter from developer Pew Pew Games and Tencent-owned publisher Level Infinite.
"Dive Into The Nullverse, Master Your Rogueteers...
ASKA fixes an animal respawn bug, promises ‘more consistent and vital content updates’ through the year
It's mid-January and there's good news for fans of the colony survival sandbox ASKA, as an animal respawn bug that was introduced in its last update has finally been addressed in its last week's patch.
Following the patch, developer Sand Sailor Studio put out an explanation about why it took the studio so long to address the problem: Basically the...
Past Fate showcases updates to combat, performance, and game world features in new video
It seems to us that most times, Past Fate puts out patch notes that talk up development updates made as the sandbox MMO moves through closed alpha testing without too many visuals to share. But this time around, Icy North Games has a video update to share in order to best demonstrate some of the adjustments that have been...
Lost Skies crowned a winner in its island creator’s first speedrunning course contest
It's been barely over a month since Bossa Studios released the island creator tool for Lost Skies, but it's already paying off in spades with incredible community content. To encourage the use of the creator for the multiplayer game, the studio ran a contest to award the player who whipped up the best speedrunning course.
After a period of voting,...
MechWarrior Online promises more events, new mechs, and map updates despite its reduced staff
Earlier this month we reported on a slashing of jobs at Enad Global 7-owned studios Toadman Interactive and Piranha Games, the latter of which develops the mech-battler MMO MechWarrior Online, in addition to multiple multiplayer MechWarrior titles. Yet in spite of this bad news, the devs are trying to ease player concerns by putting out a general 2025 roadmap...
Last Oasis discusses balance adjustments to its PvP-focused Season 6 after latest testing round
Last September, developer Donkey Crew exhumed the body of its first early access survival sandbox Last Oasis with a call for testers to help with its Season 6 update, which heralds a full-bore focus on FFA PvP and the end of PvE content. Since then, it's been crickets once again from the studio, right until this past Saturday, as...
TERA Console begins its quest to lower mid and low-level dungeon difficulty in latest patch
For many PvE MMORPGs, dungeon running is a part of the experience, but if that experience is too frustrating and difficult to manage (especially with a PUG), then it can really sour the whole deal. TERA Console is attempting to ease that slope for some of its earlier dungeons, starting with its most recent patch.
Some of these related dungeon...
Project Ghost’s Greg Street says gen AI won’t ‘bring any direct innovation’ for gamedev
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street is running his own studio - Fantastic Pixel Castle - now, which means that he's basically able to put out opinions about the industry without too much concern for upsetting corporate overlords. Even so, we would argue that his shared feelings about AI tools aren't exactly what one would call a hot take, but his recent...

Path of Exile 2’s customer support team is being overwhelmed by thousands of help requests
If anyone reading this has worked in any sort of customer support job, first of all, we understand your pain, and secondly, let's all collectively pour one out for the folks working customer support for Path of Exile 2 who have been utterly buried beneath a mountain of support tickets.
Developer Grinding Gear Games took an apologetic stance, opening by...
Wisdom of Nym: Speculating on the future of Echoes of Vana’diel in Final Fantasy XIV
The main problem with doing a Final Fantasy XI crossover in Final Fantasy XIV is that we've already had several, more or less since the game's relaunch.
I don't just mean the explicit two crossover events that we've had, although those are relevant; I mean that Eureka already heavily relies upon FFXI enemies and concepts, and even beyond that FFXIV...
Palworld promises crossplay, more Pals, and final boss as it marks its first year of early access
What was first dismissed as "Pokemon with guns" has now expanded over the past year of early access to a point that not even Nintendo could ignore it. It's Pocketpair's breakout survival sandbox Palworld, and it's gearing up for its first anniversary this week while also looking ahead to its future.
The studio put out a general roadmap of update...
Destiny 2 outlines new aspects, balance changes, and dungeon race for February’s Heresy episode
Destiny 2 is continuing to try to drum up excitement for its next major episode release despite lagging player counts and interest. Tuesday, February 4th, will see the Heresy episode go live to the shooter, and with it will be new aspects and balance adjustments.
The shooter's weekly newsletter grants players a look at the three new subclass aspects that...
Star Wars: The Old Republic wields the Force (and a patch) against bad loot luck
If you've been there -- and chances are good you have -- you know that aggravating feeling of hitting a streak of bad loot drops and rolls in an MMORPG. It might not be a table flip moment, but it can push players away from the game.
So it makes sense that Broadsword seeks to reduce the "horrible curse of...
Dungeons and Dragons Online hints at new race, possible megaserver
Dungeons and Dragons Online players are in a bit of a holding pattern for this year's producer's letter, which should be coming in the next few weeks. But until then, fans can watch through the latest livestream with SSG Executive Producer Rob Ciccolini.
Ciccolini was a little cagey with specifics, especially in regard to a new race that should be...
Genshin Impact agrees to pay a $20M fine to the FTC and halt gacha sales to players under 16
Regular players of Genshin Impact already know that in order to add characters to the roster, they're going to have to buy currency to spend on gacha pulls, but the methods that drive sales of that currency has earned the game and developer Hoyoverse a $20M fine to the US Federal Trade Commission and the stop of gacha sales...
Marvel Snap is still inaccessible to US players despite TikTok’s ban reversal
This past weekend's kerfuffle over legislators banning - and then reversing - TikTok in the US might have been solved for those who love the short-form video app, but it looks as if that reinstatement still hasn't applied to players of Marvel Snap yet.
At the time of this writing, the digital CCG is still offline for players in the...
The Daily Grind: What rewards are actually worth backing for in an MMORPG Kickstarter?
News of Stars Reach's impending Kickstarter has been the big MMORPG story of the last week and change, but there's been one tidbit that's sort of fallen through the cracks: The team hasn't actually fully locked in its Kickstarter reward plans yet and has been directly asking players what they'd even want to pay for. Playable Worlds has said...
MMO Week in Review: Stars Reach, B&S NEO, and the RuneScape bungle
Well, that was a weird week. We worried over Stars Reach, contemplated the genre's demographics, laid out a plan for returning to LOTRO's new servers, took a look at Aloft, welcomed the reveal of Blade & Soul NEO, signed up for Craig Morrison's Horse Mystery MMO (definitely a real and final name), and bought some extra popcorn for watching...
