Massively Overpowered

Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the first introduction of Path of Exile to the public, Grinding Gear Games has posted a "then and now" blog that - well, you guys really need to see some of these screenshots, some of which are apparently from the earliest builds of the game from 2007. Even once the game got past...

You'd think in a video game where resources can just be populated at the developers' will that a fuel shortage wouldn't be possible, but that's precisely what's happening in Elite: Dangerous right now as an adjustment made in an earlier patch to fix one problem has instead spawned new problems. Before this patch, there was a bug in mining RNG...

As much as the companies using them to make bank might want them to, the discussions around lockboxes are not going away. And a new study from the EU Internal Market and Consumer Protection committee brings up a point that those companies would really rather not hear. Rather than discussing lockboxes under the header of gambling, the study argues...

Beta testing for Elyon, aka The Game Formerly Known as Ascent: Infinite Realm, has been ongoing in Korea for a little while now while the game's western website has been kind of thin on details. So (and as usual) it falls to fans to aggregate information and present it to waiting players, which is just what's been done in...

You know, I am always conflicted about these types of stories: They are tragedies, and nobody wants to have to tell a community that a fellow MMO gamer has passed. But they're also heartwarming when the community comes together to celebrate that gamer's life. I'm talking today about PlanetSide 2 player Ezrason, who was memorialized this weekend by fellow fans...

A post on the Star Citizen subreddit has been growing in traction in recent days, putting into perspective an abject lack of substantial progress reports on Squadron 42's development. The post points to a promise written in March 2020's Roadmap Roundup to share more SQ42 content in its AMAs, Calling All Devs, and in sprint reports in Inside Star...

Tribal MMO sandbox Xyson is getting frisky and furry this summer season thanks to a new patch that added in pets for players to enjoy. "This latest patch is one in a series of patches focused around creatures, combat and improvements to the game based on the suggestions of players," the devs said. "Players can now feed and tame creatures...

With the launch of SWTOR on Steam this week (and totally, completely, not a beautiful coincidence), I finally reclaimed my account and rejoined the battle for the galaxy! A quick glance through my old emails seems to show the last time I played was around March of 2012, so you could say I’ve got a lot of catching up...

EVE Echoes has been eyeballing August as its launch month for some time now but never really bothered to nail down a calendar date until this past Saturday, where the devs confirmed a launch date of Thursday, August 13th. The announcement still points to the game's ongoing pre-registration which will unlock a number of free goodies for the community...

It's not exactly a secret to people who follow my presence on various feeds that I'm not doing great right now emotionally, but the prospect of Final Fantasy XIV's patch 5.3 certainly does at least help take the edge off. And at the time you are reading this, the patch is going to be here in just over two...
