Tamriel Infinium: The restoration of Elder Scrolls Online’s Orsinium

10
Bethesda, the parent company of ZeniMax Online studios, had an amazing showing at E3 this year, but unfortunately, no one from the Elder Scrolls Online team was there to talk about anything that was happening with the game despite the console launch landing literally the week before. I don't want to speculate on how much Bethsoft actually cares for...
Make it everything.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is (almost) a perfect expansion

123
There are certain phrases you really want to be able to use but don't expect to in a first impressions piece. That headline is one of them. I will freely admit that I have not seen every scrap of content in Heavensward yet. I will also freely admit that I'm predisposed to like the game and the expansion; this has...

E3 2015: You are the chosen one in SWTOR’s Fallen Empire

166
Star Wars: The Old Republic fans are still hungry for more Knights of the Fallen Empire information, and we can't blame them. As we noted in yesterday's part one of our BioWare interview with Lead Designer Michael Backus, Studio Creative Director James Ohlen, and Senior Producer Bruce MacLean, this new expansion will be quite a departure from how the...

Excessive duping leads to Ark: Survival Evolved wipe

Hundreds of dinosaurs were horrified to learn this week that human invaders in Ark: Survival Evolved weren't merely eking out an existence on their island but were absolutely dominating it with piles of ill-gotten weapons. Reports have been coming in concerning a major duping exploit in the early access title. By taking advantage of this loophole, players had been mass...
Actually entirely precedented.

Lineage Eternal begins testing with a focus group

5
After a couple years of development, it's easy to feel that we're no closer to Lineage Eternal actually launching. But that's not true; NCsoft is hard at work, it seems, and the game has just entered focus group testing. It's not precisely a full beta, but darn it, it's something. Work with us. Focus group testing will last until June 26th,...
You can also play a spaceship.

Star Trek Online shows off upcoming Tier 6 Battlecruisers

14
You can upgrade older ships in Star Trek Online, but your upgraded Tier 5 Battlecruiser just isn't the same as a Tier 6 version of the same ship. It's a bit disappointing. Or it would be, if not for the fact that you can soon get a Tier 6 version of the ship from the C-Store, complete with the...
We all go together.

Bungie responds to Destiny’s ‘tone deaf’ DLC fiasco

78
Destiny has already launched some downloadable expansions for itself, and they've been cheaper than the upcoming The Taken King. In fact, they've been much cheaper than The Taken King's Collector's Edition, which contains several bits of physical swag and some exclusive emotes, which has caused considerable uproar in the Destiny community, particularly veterans who feel they're being asked to rebuy...
Well, I guess you guys can ransack my stuff again. But only this one extra time.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward formally launches today

18
After months of anticipation for the community, Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion launches today. Heavensward is available now for players who didn't preorder or jump in on early access, offering a raised level cap, new areas, new instances, three new jobs, more story... in short, more of Final Fantasy XIV. As an expansion does. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida took...

E3 2015: Blade & Soul’s ‘full-access F2P’ model and hands-on

74
Long before NCsoft officially announced that Blade & Soul was heading west, fans were eager for the chance to get their hands on the game -- including a number of us here at MassivelyOP. So I might have had a slight grin on my face when I sat down to experience a bit of gameplay on the Summoner class at...
