Path of Exile thanks everyone for the Fall of Oriath

26
Fans of Path of Exile are enjoying The Fall of Oriath expansion now. Anecdotal evidence might not be admissible in court, but fans seem happy. And so the next step for the development team is... not to roll around in piles of money, but to thank people. To thank everyone involved with the game, in fact. Did you work on...

Indie sandbox MMO Tree of Life officially launches on August 17, won’t include PvE-only servers

15
Here comes another MMO emerging from early access! We're talking about Korean sandbox import Tree of Life, which hit beta last year following a transition to factional PvP and a big graphics overhaul. Developers NeoBricks and OddoneGames, who've said they sold 34K copies of the game during its first few months in the wild, are plotting a final beta from August 10th to 16th,...

Neverwinter releases epic retro posters for Tomb of Annihilation

3
Over the summer, I put up some of NASA's fun faux retro travel posters advertising space paleofuture in my kid's room. I love this style of art, so I have no idea how I missed it that Neverwinter has gotten in on the trend, but it has: six posters "advertising" some of the locations and icons from the Tomb...
I am not throwing away my shot.

Wisdom of Nym: The losers we see in Final Fantasy XIV’s jobs

12
The biggest problem with jobs in Final Fantasy XIV isn't always mechanics. Sometimes it's a matter of perception. With 15 jobs to play in combat roles, some of them are bound to be seen as worse than others... and it's really easy to see some of them as worse when they've actually been brought closer to the middle rather...
They're big, you see.

Publisher of game blatantly lifting Final Fantasy XI assets apologizes for the game

10
Is the header screenshot from Final Fantasy XI or from the free-to-play Japanese title Chaos Saga? It's the former, but you could be forgiven for thinking the latter if you played that game during its one-day life. The game was taken down immediately after launch for "various reasons" according to the publisher, but the obvious reason was that it...

ARK: Survival Evolved’s August patches introduce otters, new weapons, and new biomes

4
So remember back in May when Studio Wildcard intimated it'd be holding off on new ARK: Survival Evolved creatures after that May patch so that it could shore up the existing game ahead of the launch? That resolution lasted all of two months. On Friday, the studio posted a bunch of new bits in its community newsletter, including a...

Destiny 2’s Pop-Tarts and energy drink promo is everything wrong with this industry

69
Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine! This is not a joke: ActiBlizz just sent 'round a press release announcing a partnership with Rockstar energy drinks and poptarts, which I've just learned is actually properly formatted as Pop-Tarts. This was important enough that it needed to invade my inbox, and by god, I'm going to make sure you're informed of this...

Chaos Theory: Guide to Secret World Legends’ Whispering Tide event

70
Have you met Flappy? If you haven't yet, you might want to do so very soon else you'll miss your chance. That dirty bird has made its appearance in Secret World Legends as the star of the much-anticipated The Whispering Tide event, but unlike its Secret World counterpart, this event lasts only two weeks. And like any event, it...
All good!

Guild Wars 2: Loot rumors, RNG grumblings, character boosters, and map spoilers

20
Guild Wars 2 Path of Fire detail rumors are swirling as info (and disinfo) is trickling back from the test environment. Here's a few of the more interesting bits (we're tucking spoilers behind spoiler tags, so don't sweat it). It appears that the shared inventory slot granted with Heart of Thorns will indeed stack with the shared slot granted by Path...
