Massively Overpowered

Mo learns that ranged classes make the best kill-stealers.

Everyone knows that if you're going to head out into deep space to explore strange new worlds, you'd better have a trusty shotgun on hand with which to greet the wildlife. Fortunately, Colonies Online players won't have to go without solid weaponry with the game's 0.11 alpha patch. The patch, which came out late last week, adds shotguns, rifles, and...

With all the trouble Dr. Doom has caused in the Marvel Heroes story, it's hard to think of him as a hero. But that won't stop MassivelyOP's MJ from playing him! And what better way to get access to all of his powers than by taking him to Midtown Madness, where she can gorge on XP (and loot)? As...

The halfway mark for funding is an important milestone for any Kickstarter campaign, but whether it's a good sign or a darker one depends a lot upon when you hit it. Das Tal has hit its halfway mark for funding, but there are only two more days as of this writing for the campaign to finish up. That's not...

At the time you read this, you'll have about 11 days left until early access starts up for Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion -- possibly more depending on how the servers manage to hold up under the load. I wouldn't imagine it's going to be as bad as things were at launch, as those issues seem to have largely...

The most recent patch to Lord of the Rings Online will go down in infamy for its basic lute volume nerfs. It's 12% quieter now, and flutes are 15% louder. Clearly, this patch is focused entirely around nerfing lutes. Also around a number of bugfixes for instances and quests and providing several balance tweaks for several classes, but it's...

A lot has changed for HEX since the game first went to Kickstarter a few years ago. The anniversary letter to the community touches on precisely that, noting that when the game launched to potential backers, it was with far less knowledge about what would be a design hurdle and what wouldn't. But the letter is an optimistic one;...

If you're thinking of picking up Wander to enjoy an exploration-heavy, non-combat MMO, you may want to consider waiting until some of its rougher patches are smoothed out. At least, this is the report from some players and outlets who are testifying to multiple crashes, severe clipping issues, and game-breaking bugs. "It's perhaps the worst game to launch on the...

Funcom is drawing a line for The Secret World players who attempt to use Steam keys from "unauthorized resellers" by shutting down accounts linked to those keys. The studio posted both a warning and advice on the forums for those caught up in this mess. "These unauthorized resellers are retailers that have not been approved by us to sell game keys,"...

Just because you're a blindfolded warrior empowered by the Mists in Guild Wars 2 doesn't mean you can't support your allies. That's the big focus behind the Ventari legend unveiled for the Revenant last week, that and the melee staff. The most recent official stream went into greater depth, naturally, and a summary of that greater depth is now available...
