Blade & Soul – All 7 levels of Tower of Mushin conquered
//
Before I begin, do note that the videos found below are taken from a couple of Korean websites, and they are absolutely not mine. That settled, NCsoft recently added the Wave 2 (out of 7) update for Blade & Soul, Tower of Mushin. A solo-only dungeon, there are currently 7 levels, while more are hinted for the future. It seems the Korean players cleared this content in lightning speed!

Grocery list strategy
Riftstalker posted a build order for XCOM. It tells you what you need to build at what time to beat the strategy part of the game at high difficulty levels. The list isn't complete yet, but I don't doubt it is correct. I just wonder why I would want to play a game that has such a list. In the case of XCOM I found a way around, cheating the strategy part to enable me to concentrate on the tactical part. But that isn't always possible. That is why I would like to see that sort of grocery list str

Legend of Edda – Game revives in Korea under new publisher

After 19 months of laying dormant, Legend of Edda is set to be revived in Korea under the arms of MMO publisher, Yedang Online. Developer Eyasoft took a temporary break early last year to reorganize its business structure, with Nexon investing and the studio switching focus to just development.

Graphical Updates Coming to SWTOR with Update 1.5

Those players whose systems run shader complexity on high in their graphical options will notice that the sunlight has more of an affect on how foliage looks, and Ben say

As of this time Funcom says there is no immediate threat to running out of fuel, but keep in mind that no promises can be made while the clean up and

Project: Gorgon
Yeebo has a detailed description of the indie MMO Project: Gorgon in its pre-alpha state. There appear to be a lot of interesting new ideas in the game. But I'm an old cynic and not very optimistic that the game will make it to release: The Kickstarter of Project: Gorgon is just 5 days away from the deadline, and only has about 20% gathered of the $ 55,000 needed. Not many people believe you can make a MMORPG for $ 55k, but if you want to make a charitable donation to a man with a dream ...

Messing with the aliens
I've been playing through XCOM: Enemy Unknown several times. There aren't many games I'm willing to play more than once these days, so this is a sign of quality. But when you play the game repeatedly, there are inevitably parts you like less and others you like more. The part I like the most is the tactical battles on various maps. The urban maps are varied and well done. The rural maps not so much, there is basically just one map with different colors but the same elevation and tree features.
SWTOR F2P Model Changes Due to Beta Feedback
Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s incoming “free-to-play” conversion is live on the public test shards, and thanks to player feedback the team at BioWare have made some adjustments to some of the F2P restricitons.

The cash item will activate the first 3 levels of the skills, while the further 3 will require actual in-game boss drops and various other items.

Hunter/mage vs. Sunwell? You betcha.
I FRAPS’d the whole fight but I figure I won’t toss the video up unless someone asks because it’s fairly uneventful. Honestly Felmyst was the most difficult fight in the entire raid for us to do. Huge props to Mister Adequate for mage’ing it up and finishing her off after I bit the dirt on that encounter.
Now we just need Hyjal and Black Temple and then it’s on to WotLK stuff!

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – Character creation footage

Straight from the Alpha client, Square Enix has just revealed a footage for the character creation feature in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Vastly improved compared to that junk which is the original Final Fantasy XIV, the graphics and option clearly has been taken a huge step forward to be on par with what the other major MMORPGs are doing. In any case, hopefully Square Enix will think out of the box and not persist with its plans on the dying P2P model in the West…

Daybreak – North America missing from global publisher list
//
While some view Daybreak as a “Dragon Nest clone”, I personally feel there is still much space for more action games, especially when they bring something new to the tables. The blockbuster hit for China developer and publisher, Linekong, boots a browser client as well, playing in the same servers as the gamers on the client. Not only that, there are a couple of interesting PvP modes which I saw, including a crazy and fun looking soccer mode.

The mail only struck a cord because it was right next to a mail from Kickstarter, with the 24th regular update on the one game I backed there, Banner Saga.

Congratulations, World of Tanks!
World of Tanks won the Golden Joystick Award 2012 for "Best MMO". Congratulations! But somehow it gives food for thought if the "Best MMO" is a non-persistent shooter game, and not a RPG. With Skyrim being "Game of the Year", it appears that people now prefer their roleplaying games to be offline.

Pandaria jewelcrafting
I tend to be a fan of crafting in most MMORPGs. I tried every craft in World of Warcraft, and in Cataclysm I had most of them maxed out on some alt, constantly sending stuff from one character to the other. My "main", as far as I can say to have one, is a holy priest with mining and jewelcrafting. That used to be not a bad choice in previous expansions. But in Mists of Pandaria I am not at all happy with that choice.

Blade & Soul – Early Lyn race artwork shows a different vibe

See the cute Lyn race above from NCsoft’s Blade & Soul? Well, the original design wasn’t all that colorful and happy.

The idea was scrapped after the developers wanted the Lyn race to appeal both to the male and female crowd.

As a fan of behavioral economics, I totally agree with that premise: Game companies will strive to design games that maximize the earnings potential of their game. But where I disagree is his idea that: "Under a subscription MMO model, customers are relatively equal in value." Because companies aren't s

[G*Star 2012] Hangame reveals lineup for the show
//
Hangame, the MMO portal for NHN Corporation, revealed its G*Star 2012 participating titles earlier today. The core focus will be on 4 games, but of course the majority of our eyes will be on Dungeon Striker and Asta: The War of Tears and Winds. Dungeon Striker should be a familiar sight, but what about Asta?
Developed using CryEngine 3, the game was once touted as “World of Warcraft of the East”, and hopefully that tagline has been removed from any speeches at the show. L

Taking a walk
If somebody were to hand you a hunting rifle in real life and send you on a quest to kill ten bears, chances are that you'd have a problem: All the bears in your vicinity have probably been killed long ago, and you would have to walk very far to even find ten. I got a mail this week asking me to promote a Kickstarter project for a MMORPG with a 900,000,000 square kilometer gigantic world in which mobs never respawn. I told the guy I would consider that game unplayable, but he didn't seem to und
Aion 4.0 – 2nd new class revealed on developer blog

After the awesome Shooting Star class, NCsoft today revealed the next class, Troubadour (Bard or Minstrel will do as well). As expected, this will be a support class, having the ability to heal allies and weaken enemies.
A different feeling from the Priest, the current test version has this new class playing at a higher tempo, and a hint that the skills will all do well even in PvP. Stay tuned as the 3rd and final class will be revealed soon!

What would you actually do with all that sand?
So Smedley announced that he wants to turn EQ Next not into just another Everquest, but into "the largest sandbox style MMO ever designed". I found it somewhat surprising, while simultaneously being disappointing for lack of imagination, that most commenters interpreted that as "there will be free-for-all PvP in the next Everquest". I don't think that this is what Smedley means. If anything, Everquest if famous for having *less* PvP than other MMORPGs.

World of Warcraft enters politics
The Republican party is attacking a Democrat candidate for the Maine state senate, Colleen Lachowicz, for playing World of Warcraft, and for being a forum warrior. Some analysts say that attacking somebody for playing WoW as "living in a fantasy world" might backfire for the Republicans, because there are already so many people playing games that such attacks seem out of touch. But Britain's prime minister got into trouble after declaring that he had finished Angry Birds, with journal
Dragon Nest – Nexon stepping down as publisher
In a shock announcement yesterday, Nexon confirmed that Dragon Nest Korea’s publishing rights will be handed over to Actoz Soft in a contract lasting 3 years. All current user data will be moved over as well starting from now till 27th November. The main reason is due to the original contract between Nexon and developer Eyedentity Games reaching its final weeks.
Of course, Nexon Korea tried to extend the contract, but to no avail as Eyedentity Games and Actoz Soft are both owned by

How different do you want your expansion to be?
I've been reading about two MMORPG expansions today: One is Mists of Pandaria for World of Warcraft, the other is Darkfall: Unholy Wars. Mists of Pandaria sold 2.7 million copies outside China (still haven't seen the Chinese sales data), but received negative points in several reviews stating it was too much like World of Warcraft. I mean, seriously, apparently some reviewers would like an expansion of World of Warcraft to *NOT* play like World of Warcraft. Listening to that, Aventurine decided
Rush, rush, rush
I propose the following change to dungeons in World of Warcraft: Before each boss there is a door which needs 1 minute to open. After each boss there is another door which only opens 1 minute after the boss is dead.
While that ideas is not very realistic, I must say I am not happy with how groups often speed rush through dungeons. I did my first Pandaria heroic, with "success", but frankly I didn't see much of the place. The worst was that the tank pulled with no regard to my (healer) mana, ev

How to get rich not playing Guild Wars 2
I have too many other games and am not currently playing Guild Wars 2. But today I logged on to check the prices of Mystic Coins. They were at over 4 silver each. Which was good news, because I had bought 200 of them for 1 silver each before I stopped playing GW2. So I made a quick 6 gold profit not playing. I still think the Guild Wars 2 economy is rather weird.

EverQuest Next: Return Of The Sandbox
We don't know much about EQNext but I'm pretty sure its box cover art will feature women warriors in metal bikinis
Word on the street is that Everquest Next is going to be a sandbox MMO, a huge one by all accounts. Colour me surprised. Just as I thought SOE were out of tricks, they go and play a blinder on us. I was honestly prepared for the next installment of my beloved EQ franchise to be yet another attempt at a themepark WoW clone. Good for SOE.

Parallel development
This weekend I finished my first game of XCOM. And I couldn't help but notice that way before the end I had reached a tipping point: Suddenly I had enough money for everything, and some of the battles became rather easy due to the experience and gear of my soldiers. Basically XCOM is a game of parallel development: You get stronger, and the aliens get stronger in parallel. The side who gets stronger the fastest ultimately wins. But as the challenge of the game depends on the difference in stats

Lucky dice do exist!
Good news for all pen & paper roleplayers: We aren't completely crazy, all the myths about some dice being luckier than others are true. Dice with rounded edges are indeed not perfect, and certain numbers can thus appear up to 20% more or 20% less than average, because of how the dice are "tumbled" to round the edges. Nevertheless the claims of Gamescience that their dice with sharp edges are superior because giving a result closer to randomness have hit a snag: Due to these dice having a c
Different approaches to story
Having played this year Star Wars: The Old Republic, Guild Wars 2, and Mists of Pandaria, I couldn't help but notice how different the approach to story is in these games. SWTOR is the most story-obsessed, you are basically always following your story or some NPC story, and everything is animated with cut scenes and voice-overs. Mists of Pandaria has every player play through the same story at the start, and then you basically get to choose what NPC stories to follow by choosing where to quest;

The next Closed Beta phase was announced yesterday, although undated now. A new trailer for the Dragonette class can be seen below.

Top Five Things From WoW That Need to Step on a Lego
There have been a lot of changes in WoW since the last time I played. A lot of these are pretty great, but some are not-so-great. Here’s my own personal list of the not-so-great:
5. Lack of Hunter Stat Sticks
I’m fine with getting rid of minimum range (good luck getting me to break the habit of keeping range though), but how am I supposed to carry both Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle AND Legacy now? Pike is not impressed.
LEGO RATING: Mild.

4. Chess Event is Bugged

Kickstarter failure
Normally the failure of a small independent game with a measly $ 29k budget wouldn't cause any headlines. But when Haunts: The Manse Macabre failed, the news were all over the internet. Because Haunts had been funded by 1214 backers on Kickstarter. It doesn't look like there was a scam or anything, but making a video game is always a risky business. And now this project will either need to find a white knight to rescue it, or just be dead.

Forsaken World – Wolf race disappoints with uninspired design

I have always been a big fan of Perfect World, till the point that it was my dream company to work in when I first stepped into the MMO industry given its self-development and self-publish business model. But after playing the latest Wolf race in Forsaken World China, I firmly believe the development team has slacked way too much over the year. You see, the Wolf race is just the Kindred race re-skinned, with 2 fluffy ears. I was expecting more given that the male is restricted to the Assassi

Where Did You Go, Pike?
So work decided to dump all sorts of overtime on me right as MoP hit. I do have a guaranteed day off every week! …on Tuesday, and because of my current odd schedule, maintenance is usually starting the minute I wake up. Between this and wanting to get a decent amount of sleep every night, WoW is, sadly, taking the hit.

Should you support MMORPGs on Kickstarter?
UnSubject is working on a project to find out whether Kickstarter video games actually deliver. Certainly some cases appear fishy. But many people see Kickstarter as being inherently a good thing, a "giving a chance to the underdog" or "sticking it to the Man" affair.

State of the Hunter Address October 2012
Sometimes I wear a mask for a while.
There was that warlock that I leveled to 64 or something, and there was the druid who hit 80 and whom I raided with. Then there were all the other druids I promptly rolled. Then there were all those other classes I rolled which never hit 50. I think the closest was a 42(?) rogue.
And you know, it’s fun. And I’d like to think I’m an okay druid.

In Germany a court rules that a company had the right to fire another young man, after he put "slave drivers" in the section who he was working for on Facebook. In short: The law is catching up with the internet, and insults and libel on the internet will be treated like they are treated elsewhere.
Why did these cases all involve Facebook? Not because Facebook is a less polite place than other internet f

EverQuest Next – “Largest” sandbox MMO to be playable next year
//
[Source] Not to confuse readers, EverQuest Next will be playable at next year’s SOE Live event, not in retail. EverQuest Next, or EverQuest III, was teased nearly 2 years ago, and at SOE Live this year, more information was given out by the ever-generous president of Sony Online Entertainment, John Smedley. Details are below, and make sure not to wet your bed.

Gold ammo in World of Tanks to be ungolded
Patch 8.1 makes an interesting change to World of Tanks: The so-called "gold ammo" will be made available for credits, the currency that can be earned without paying money for it. Gold ammo, while never in widespread use, was the one item some people claimed made World of Tanks a "pay to win" game. But as many other examples show, people consider "pay to win" only to be the case if something can *only* be bought with cash.
The only thing remaining available for cash are certain premium tanks.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I have an unusual recommendation to make. If you should try out XCOM: Enemy Unknown, try the following settings for your first game: Easy difficulty level, and under Advanced Options select Enable Ironman. If you played a lot of the original XCOM and many tactical games since, you might try Normal and Ironman, but for most people I'd recommend Easy. By enabling Ironman, and thus not being able to constantly save and reload when things go wrong, you will get a real sense of consequences. And usi
State of the Hunter Address October 2012
Sometimes I wear a mask for a while.
There was that warlock that I leveled to 64 or something, and there was the druid who hit 80 and whom I raided with. Then there were all the other druids I promptly rolled. Then there were all those other classes I rolled which never hit 50. I think the closest was a 42(?) rogue.
And you know, it’s fun. And I’d like to think I’m an okay druid.
But then I take off the mask and become a hunter again and I’m in my element, doing somet

D&D stick figure tokens
4th edition Dungeons & Dragons standard rules don't have "facing", it is supposed that somebody can turn around quick enough so that "attacking him from the back" rules aren't necessary. Thus 4E works perfectly well with flat tokens, which is what I am using. Some flat tokens come with the monster vault, the starter set, or with boxed adventures. Others I just print out and stick on self adhesive felt pads to make them thicker. But of course other people prefer 3-dimensional miniatures. And

World of Warcraft status report
As I believe that content is the purpose of a MMORPG, and not an obstacle to overcome, I don't rush. That plus time spent in other games, like XCOM, means that my World of Warcraft main still hasn't hit the level cap. He is level 89 though, which qualified him for both the Brewfest and the Halloween event dungeons. Thus I do have two level 90 (iLevel 470) epic trinkets from Coren Direbrew and two rings from the Headless Horseman. Why two each? Well, this is where the trouble starts.

Stop flattering yourself
Over at Bio Break I found Syp's Quote of the Day being from Funcom's game director Joel Bylos: "The Secret World may not be the perfect game for everyone; in fact, I think it is safe to say that it is one of the most divisive MMOs ever made." Sorry, but I don't think that is true. Probably the most divisive MMO ever made is EVE Online, and then some other free-for-all PvP MMOs would be on the list well ahead of TSW. From the games that don't have free-for-all PvP, I would say the most divisive

Speaking of pandas, my dear other half Mister Adequate and myself just call the expansion and anything related to it “pandas”. Apparently we’re not alone here.

The Secret World Issue #2 Going Live Today
Today marks the launch of The Secret World‘s second update, and this one is titled ‘Issue #2: Digging Deeper’. This update comes packed with lots of new features, including a few much requested modern MMO staples such as the barbershop and ‘plastic surgery’ to alter your character’s appearance, and a group finder tool. And of course there are new missions, as well as a new auxiliary weapon: the rocket launcher!

Improving 4th edition
Dungeon's Master has a preview of the next season of D&D Encounters, and that season will not use standard 4th edition rules. Instead it will use 4th edition rules which have been modified with some of the improvements coming from the D&D Next development process. Which leads me to the question: Why develop D&D Next in the first place, instead of just improving 4th edition? I suspect the answer is purely financial. Release a new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, and everybody
Losing is back
Something interesting is happening in the gaming culture: The concept of losing a game against the computer is back, and many people enjoy it. Not just in indie games like FTL, but also in remakes of old school games like XCOM. Ionomonkey is trying XCOM on "classic" (aka hard) difficulty with the ironman option (no reloads), and he is on game 19, having lost 18 games already.
Modern MMORPGs tend to not have a loss condition. There are even PvP rules in many games where "losing" is defined as g

Varian Wrynn is the 1%
So I was running a panda through Westfall the other day– haven’t done it since the Cataclysm redo– and was very amused to do a quest which involved finding pages from the Communist manifesto and also bits of cloth that are colored solidarity red. Honestly I’m surprised the drifters from Westfall aren’t busy occupying Stormwind.

Is Guild Wars 2 dying?
The Nosy Gamer forced me into this sensationalist title, by specifically asking for it in this quote: "For the fifth week in a row the time the Xfire community has spent playing Guild Wars 2 has declined by more than 12.5%. Since 2 September the number of hours played has fallen by 68%. Has anyone started asking if GW2 is dying?" Apparently someone has to step up and pose that question. Might as well be me.

Well That Only Took Four Years
Tawyn, Hunter #1, has been making the rounds on and off for years and nothing.
Lunapike, Hunter #2, has been making the rounds on and off for years and nothing.
But today I was doing panda quests on Tawyn and I thought “Huh, Hunter #3 is my cat collector. I should send him up to Sholazar and see what happens.”
And so it came to pass that Althalor, Hunter #3, snagged Loque on his very first tiptoe into Sholazar Basin. Lucky SOB.
Congrats, belf boy. You’ve come a long way fro

Thoughts On Returning To WoW
The real reason dinosaurs became extinct
I say “returning” but the fact is I never really left, not in the sense of unsubscribing at least (I wonder how much money subscription games make out of people not bothering to cancel their sub?). Although I still logged in to dabble on occasion, I haven’t seriously played WoW since Diablo 3 came out in May and have been busy since doing other things like playing other games, working and enjoying the summer. Truth be told though, there

Rift Pre-Expansion Patch Hits Servers, Brings Class Changes and More!

You Should Buy Torchlight 2
There's nothing like wielding a huge cannon to make me feel like a man
Torchligh 2 is better than Diablo 3. There, I’ve said it. And yes, I know it’s not professional to compared games to each like that but considering I’m just a hobbyist blogger, I figured I can get away with it. So I’ll say this: Torchlight 2 is everything I hoped Diablo 3 was going to be.
This isn’t to say that D3 was a bad game ’cause it wasn’t. It was good, very good in fact, b

Defiance – New developer diary talks open world PvP goodness
//
[Game website] I was never a fan of open world PvP, and to some extent, I still am. The only exception now is PlanetSide 2, where I don’t get ganked while killing a PvE boss halfway. I sure hope Defiance does not “devolve” into such an online shooter.
Launching April 2013, Defiance will be available on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Although the game allows PS3 owners to play against Xbox 360 players in a demo shown, Microsoft is against this in the live server

Some thoughts on Mists of Pandaria!
Before I go into this I need to caveat this by saying that I quit raiding halfway through WotLK so this is coming purely from a “casual” perspective. I know that there are some kerfuffles going on regarding raiding but I have no personal experience with that so I can’t comment on it.
That said, Mists of Pandaria is fantastic so far. I really don’t have enough praise for it. I love the pandas. I love the quests. I love that I can group with people on other servers. I

Pandaren Ponderings
The moment when all of Blizzard's planning failed
Like a lot of people, I’ve been playing Mists of Pandaria pretty full on since Tuesday. Well, technically, Monday night since I was there for the in-game launch at 11pm British time but considering it took me 30 mins just to target the NPC (see above) and then the whole Jade Forest zone crashed before I finally gave up, I’m not going to count it. Nice to know that even the biggest MMOs still have launch woes even if everything has
