Massively Overpowered

Turkeys: At least two of the neighborhood turkeys were guilty of bearing false witness when I asked them if they had seen my keys and they simply replied by making turkey noises. I followed them and they immediately dropped my keys, then ran off into the woods while shouting epithets in my direction. Turtles: The new fad for turtles along...

Poor summer, it just can't get a break, even in a non-pandemic year. Sure, it's full of vacations and sunny days, but it got the short end of the stick when it came to holidays. That seems true for MMORPGs too, which have struggled to create summer events with some -- any -- sort of personality. They do try, bless...

Water fights are fun, and sometimes you just gotta have some fun -- even if you're a warframe! The Dog Days Tactical Alert has returned to Warframe just in time for some serious stress relief via summer squirt guns. Massively OP's MJ will have to try not to be distracted by all the bouncy beach balls, however, if she...

I bet you thought Betawatch this week was going to be all about World of Warcraft's Shadowlands beta, which did indeed begin and we've already been talking about it ad nauseam. WoW, however, is not the only game in testing worth noting. Magic Legends began dispatching invites for its second closed alpha. Crucible is pushing newcomers toward beta signups for...

So is archery good or bad? AdventureQuest 3D has decided that it's good, and to that end the game has been developing the new Ranger class which is currently planned to be added to the game next week. Of course, that also means you'll need a lot of different special bows to use as your arsenal, which leads to...

MapleStory can't stop, won't stop: It's now gearing up for what Nexon is calling a "massive summer update," Rise: Surge of Power that picks up where Rise: Promise of the Guardian left off. "Beginning July 22, Maplers can participate in the Burning World event, and continue Rise events. Through the Burning World event, players can create up to 3 Mega...

When Juvty Worlds announced Wild Terra 2 last autumn, eyebrows shot up around the MMO world. But since then, the studio has been laser-focused on the new game, which is meant to pull along some of the original title's content ideas but wrap them in far better graphics and updated survival sandbox mechanics. The game ran a free beta...

There's yet another limited-time menace for players of Champions Online, and this one sounds like a doozy. It's Vlad Dracul, the supervillainous version of the legendary vampire himself, arriving with all of the subtlety of a comic book-styled vampiric progenitor (which is to say not very subtly at all). Between now and Thursday, July 23rd, players can square off against...

It's a salamander sort of summer in Bless Unleashed. No, really; turns out that every summer in Lumios involves a whole population boom of salamanders, and as these are the magical spitting-fire sort of salamander as opposed to adorable amphibians, they can set lots of stuff on fire and kind of need to be controlled. Thus, this year's summer...

Since Destiny 2's upcoming Beyond Light expansion has been pushed back into November, reason would perhaps stand that the ongoing Season of Arrivals would need a few more things to do. Luckily, Bungie is offering just that with an extension of the Season's events as well as a new calendar of upcoming content. Among these schedule changes is an extension...
