Massively Overpowered

WildStar's twistedly funny -- consumer-saturated -- version of the holidays is coming next week to a server near you. The very first Protostar Gala Winterfest Extravaganza is cranking up on December 16th, bringing festive decorations and "jaw-dropping, amazing deals" from the fictional corporation. The centerpiece of the event is the new SuperMall-in-the-Sky (no relation to SkyMall, we're sure), where players can take...

Trove's 13th class, the Chloromancer, is drawing inspiration from the RIFT soul of the same name. Trion Worlds told Massively OP via interview that the upcoming class will be a Trovified version of RIFT's plant-shooting, face-healing mage. While no set date for the Chloromancer has been revealed, the studio did say that players will be able to earn the class by...

When voxel sandbox Trove hit the pavement running, I know I wasn't alone when my first reaction was, "Damn, this looks like Cube World, only, you know, getting updated!" Now I might need to eat my words because Cube World is indeed under development again after a long hiatus. And I do mean long. While the game's website hasn't had an update...

Most updates to a game around this time of year follow a rather predictable course, and we all know it. There's some snow, there's some presents, there's putting hats on snowmen. It's predictable. So praise is due to Sword Coast Legends not just for having a whole lot of new features in its second free community pack for players...

I'm excessively picky about what I buy in MMO cash shops. I'll buy necessities like backpack and bank slots, character slots and classes. Occasionally I'll buy cosmetic gear like mounts (yes, I have a sparklepony) or clothing (so much money poured into City of Heroes costume parts, you guys), but past a certain dollar limit, I simply won't pay. Ten...

There's a pretty awesome expansion coming to Path of Exile in the beginning of next year, and MassivelyOP's MJ can't wait to head into that ever-changing labyrinth. But in order to do that successfully, she really should gain more skills and get more comfortable in her role of witch. That means heading out for more adventure now (and bringing...

The holidays are approaching, and that means there's not much time left to get presents for your friends and lumps of coal for your enemies. At MassivelyOP this year, we're putting together a series of themed gift guides highlighting some potential gift ideas for players of particular games. If you know anyone who is mad about MOBAs, shooters, sandbox...

Don't be too hasty in dismissing Durango as yet another pseudo-MMO mobile knockoff. The previous developers of Vindictus are dead serious about forging new territory in the mobile market. "Assuming the days of a quest-based or theme park type of MMORPG had already passed, we tried to bring innovation to the genre by making a new type of MMORPG that...

Here comes another update for Final Fantasy XI! "Wait, didn't that have its last update already?" you ask. No, it had its final story update, but the systems of the game can still be improved. That's the bulk of what's available in the game's December version update. You could argue the expansion of the Aeonic Weapons is a bit...

Epic's entering the MOBA space with Paragon, which is scheduled to hit the PC and PlayStation 4 in 2016. The studio released a brief gameplay video over the weekend that shows plenty of big, beefy sci-fi dudes in power suits beating the crap out of one another. The trailer's description mentions "direct third-person control" as well as "deep strategic...
