Massively Overpowered

How would you like to start your Wizard101 weekend on a shipwreck stuck in ice with a cute penguin by your side? You're in luck, because MassivelyOP's MJ is giving away a handful of the new Polarian Explorer's Bundles, which contain not only the shipwreck house and the pet penguin but also a battle narwhal mount, castle elixir, and...

It's sometimes a bit hard to gain worshippers in Skyforge. Being part of a pantheon with several other deities helps, but there are an awful lot of potential pantheons to worship, and the one down the street is offering free minibikes. What you need is some good old-fashioned propaganda, which coincidentally ties perfectly into the current contest being run...

Wanna take a magic carpet ride in Forsaken World? PWE has granted MOP keys for 50 100 Forsaken World Aladdin Packs to make that magic carpet ride possible (and put that song in your head all day). The Aladdin Packs include a Sky Sultan Flying Carpet mount, a Lantern Spirit pet, a full Carnival/Samba fashion set, 10 Mercury Statuettes, and a Pose Action...

Last week was a pretty fun ride, I have to say. Leaving aside everything else we had to chew on after a weekend's worth of BlizzCon, the World of Warcraft team really went to town with the class previews. I didn't discuss them last week mostly because we had other things to talk about, but I did greatly enjoy...

MMO players have always known the danger of a class or feature being overpowered, as it can draw the attention of developers and invite a nerf beatdown. Star Wars: The Old Republic gamers are learning this the hard way this week, as BioWare greatly reduced companion stats, damage, and healing with this past Tuesday's 4.0.2 patch. Community Manager Eric Musco posted an explanation...

Do you want to be the best around, with nothing that will ever keep you down? Blade & Soul makes a point of being able to support one-on-one combat in a balanced format, leading to an annual championship event for the game in its native South Korea. Coinciding with its launch in January of next year in North America...

I'm kind of in love with Star Wars: Battlefront. I shouldn't be, really, because underneath the glitz and gloss, it's a pretty pedestrian multiplayer shooter. Electronic Arts tapped Battlefield maker DICE to clone its tentpole franchise in a galaxy far, far away, and this week the firm delivered the first title since Disney famously acquired the money-printing IP from George...

Like the last expansion, World of Warcraft's upcoming Legion expansion will let players skip the tedious process of leveling up through old content and just focus on the new content if they'd like. So what does it look like when you use the boost? Probably not like what is demonstrated in the new Level 100 Or Bust video. There...

Guild Wars 2's raiding guild drama earlier this week naturally made me think of guild drama I've experienced myself. I mean, if you've been playing MMOs in guilds long enough, you've probably seen everything that can go on in a group: screaming matches, cyberstalking, cybering, divorces over video games, spies, guild vault thieves, drunk deleting characters, that one time a kid...

If you don't own Space Engineers yet, well, you should because it's really fun! Especially since the devs added ginormous destructible planets to their Minecraft-with-better-visuals-in-space extravaganza. You're also running out of excuses, since the sci-fi sandbox is currently half off via Steam. You can pick up the game for $12.49 from now through November 23rd. Source: Steam
