Massively Overpowered

For some reason it feels like we've been writing about Minsc and Boo for months. In any case, I guess we haven't been writing about them for that long, because Neverwinter's Elemental Evil expansion just released today. Perfect World calls Elemental Evil "the largest update to the game yet." It adds a new playable class (the Paladin), an increased level cap...

Sometimes a news post comes along that you're just meant to write. For me, it's this little ditty about Ascent. For one thing, I'm actually playing and enjoying the game. For another, the game's latest update allows me to type things like Ascent has gas in my headline and get away with it. Said update allows players to terraform entire planets,...

DC Universe Online released its 13th power set today. Munitions "allows players to master over-the-top explosives, powerful ballistics, and large weapons," according to a Daybreak press release. The set features two power trees, one each for DCUO's damage and controller roles. The set is free for members. Alternatively, you can purchase it in the cash shop. Don't forget about the...

There used to be a time when CCP would eagerly release every new subscriber milestone that EVE Online hit, but that era has passed. For a while now, the studio has not publicly mentioned sub numbers, leaving the fanbase to wonder if the game's population is declining. EVE player and blogger The Nosy Gamer engaged in a whirlwind of math...

GamersFirst has posted a brief blurb on the heels of last Thursday's APB Reloaded patch. The devs are responding to player feedback and, more specifically, complaints about "exploits and obvious balance issues" that will be addressed in tomorrow's patch. Car surfing is being removed from APB's Easter event, and players will be given an invulnerability buff and a 10-second speed...

Justin and Bree discuss April Fools' Day, Neverwinter on Xbone, EverQuest II, SWG's NGE, Trove, Star Trek Online, WildStar, and RIFT, with mailbag questions on Guild Wars 2 leveling and the VR trend.

If you've missed out on grouping with the MassivelyOP Minions because of time zones, today is your lucky day! MJ is introducing a European version of EverQuest Two-sday to allow those across the pond a chance to get in on the Norrathian adventures. Now you, too, can experience frolicking across the continents and delving into the many dungeons all...

You can argue all you want over the definition of pay-to-win, but no one really likes the idea of a free-to-play game in which players can just buy the tools to be better than another player. Skyforge is currently in open beta in Russia, and players have noticed that you can simply buy credits for real money, allowing you...

Crowfall's siege mechanics are on display today in a new video highlighting the Artcraft Entertainment's current plans for taking on player-controlled cities. The video is embedded just past the break and focuses on the idea that players aren't just limited to hunkering down or attacking; in fact, there are reasons for defenders to venture outside, ways for attackers to...

It's hard to be a Sylvari in Guild Wars 2 at the moment. After all, the plant people have an undeniable tie to the elder dragon Mordremoth, a tie that even they aren't fully aware of. It makes the time before the launch of Heart of Thorns a perfect time to play through the game's story as a Sylvari...
