Independent developer Motiga announced on Feb 5th that there is no more NDA for CBT testers of their free-to-play shooter MOBA, Gigantic. Testers could feel free to broadcast, stream, take screenshots, talk strategy and tactics, and share your thoughts on hero balance, matchmaking improvements, art style, or anything you've got on your mind. Gigantic is still in Closed Beta and continue to add people on a nearly daily basis from Europe and North America.

Gigantic is a team-based action game with an epic objective: your team of five heroes, along with a massive guardian monster, clashes against an enemy team and the guardian that protects them. Set for a full release later in 2015, Gigantic is being developed by Motiga and exclusively published by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Xbox One. Gigantic will also be one of the first titles to specifically feature "opt-in" cross-platform support, allowing players to compete across both platforms if they wish.

 

Gigantic is free to play and pits teams of five heroes—each with a massive guardian monster—against each other in explosive battles across a variety of fantasy battlefields. The game combines intense combat with strategic map control, and the first team to defeat the enemy guardian seizes the battlefield and wins the game.

The much-awaited Guild System will be updated in gumi's mobile role-playing game Wakfu Raiders, with the mobile spin-off of the famous Wakfu MMORPG.

• Robowl the Manipulator– A proud warrior who acts as a guardian of the Ow El Archives.

At its launch, Crowfall will have up to 1,500 skills that players will be able to choose from and develop for their character. Despite how great that sounds, we cant help but think of how confusing this might be. Imagine having to sort out the skill your like, and those you dislike or do not need, out of a heft 1,500. Thankfully, the developers have posted a FAQ on the skill system that should make things far less complicated at launch.

Players will be able to train up to two skills at any given time, although VIP players will be able to train up to four of them. The skills will be split into two main types, namely the General and Archetype skills. General skills will used for basic combat, crafting and exploration activities, while Archetype skills will be linked to each of the archetypes and their promoted classes. One of the most interesting announcement regards the skill advancement system, that should remind some of the system used in EVE Online.
 

Skills advance passively, over-time. We don’t require you to “grind monsters” or repeat simple tasks to increase your skill levels.

A player can use the Skill Tree interface to set a number of his skills to advance. Players will then begin to earn experience points (XP) in the selected skill(s) in real world time – even when they aren’t online.  Every few seconds, skill XP points will trickle into your selected skill(s), giving you increased benefits outlined above and unlocking new skills that you can elect to train in the future.

In effect, your characters keep advancing while you do things like sleep or go to work. You won’t be at a numerical disadvantage versus other players just because they have more time to invest in the game than you do.

This guide is mainly meant to help Blade & Soul players who don’t have much time on their hands and they want a fast and efficient way to farm gold and equipment every day.

Also, if you finish those dailies and still have time to spare, you might want to check the
daily dungeon guide.

This whole daily run took me only 47 minutes to complete, solo with a bladedancer.

Misty Woods

1. Firstly you want to find the noticeboard of the area, so you won’t have to go receive the quest from each NPC individually, the noticeboard is located inside the green circle.
2. Start by defeating the Field Boss which is pretty easy and you can do it easily by yourself.
3. Then go complete those two quests which include killing ten mobs each
4. Proceed to the next marked area and kill the mobs and then you can complete the dungeon there too, it might take you a bit longer if you’re solo, but it’s nothing to difficult.
5. Lastly, go kill the Big Boss in the middle of the map and once you’re done, go receive the rewards from the individual NPCs, located to the camp at the right side of the Big Boss.
6. Now, you’re done with that location, time to move to the next area

 
Orchard Of Souls

1. First of all receive the quests from the notice board which is located near the position where you teleported.
2. Then go and defeat 10 mobs, located south of where you are
3. Then travel north and defeat the mini Boss, you can easily do this solo
4. And lastly go to the last location and slay the last mob. Be careful that last one is particularly difficult to solo, so I recommend having more players nearby or go in a party.

Studio Wildcard has just released a new major update for its dinosaur survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, introducing a new Terror Bird, grappling hooks and a new gameplay system named Tribe Systems.



First of all, Terror Bird is an aggressive but mostly flightless beast o the ground, and it can be tamed and ridden as an excellent combat mount in game. Besides, the grappling hook tool can be used to hitch a ride atop more capable soaring strays. Lastly the brand-new Tribe Alliance allows small tribes to gather against larger ones in PvE and PvP bouts of fisticuffs. You can check out ARK: Survival Evolved’s Steam page for all of the update's new features.

This guide is based on the game as it is right now and the recommended dungeons are subject-to-change depending on what changes we will see in the future patches. I will try and keep the guide updated as the game receives new content.

>>> Visit our Blade & Soul hub for more guides!

Those dungeons require quite a bit of time to complete, so if you’re looking for a faster way to farm gear, gold and materials, you can check this daily quest guide.
 
The four dungeons that I recommend doing are:

1. Skittering Tunnels
2. BrightStone Ruins
3. Hall of Ogong
4. Pigsty

You will receive around 40 silver per dungeon and other cool rewards such as soul shield pieces, weapon skins,, accessories, outfits, upgrade materials and crafting recipes. Below you can see the reward pool of each dungeon:

While there have been rumors about it for a while now, the official confirmation was nonetheless surprising; special costumes that possess their own stats and can be leveled will soon be introduced in ArcheAge.

Previously added to the Korean version of the game, these costumes obtaining new stats as they level up from a rather limited pool of stats, including the Max Health, Physical Defense, Magic Defense or Move Speed.

The community manager added that, "As the costume gets higher rank, the pool it can draw from will increase further and further, sometimes beginning to trip into other specialties. But what's important here is that the base costume is leveled up and made more powerful by in-game item drops and in-game crafting. Right now, the system straight drops the Dim Synthesis Shards required for the first portions, but the higher leveled versions need other items like Gilda Dust, Blue Salt Hammers, etc. in order to be crafted. The system, obviously, increases in difficulty the higher level the base costume gets."

Players are still somewhat hesitant regarding how to react to this in lights of Trion's recent business model approach (including changes in Trove and Rift), and only time will tell how it will go.

If you are playing Dragon Nest in Europe server, then very very bad news for you. On January 31, the servers went down due to a technical error and after a few days, EU publisher Shanda Games brought the servers back but players are told that nearly 2 years of player data have all been lost. The massive data loss includes nearly everything except the player character and gold.

Words from Shanda Games:

What data has been lost?
All titles, missions, quests, achievements, NPC points, guild points, cooking details, fishing details, trading house items, as well as inventory and storage items are gone for now.  Cash Items have also been wiped.

What are we going to do about it?
You are going to receive a lot of the lost items back from us. Although they are not on your character or in your inventory anymore, we could reconstruct the data outside of the game. Generally speaking, you will receive two big things from us:

A reimbursement package for what has been lost and a compensation package because of this whole situation.

In order to compensate players from this huge date loss, all characters will be upgraded to level 80. All characters will receive legendary Level 70 Equipment materials and epic Level 80 equipment (already upgraded to +10), with updated values according to the Level 90 Dragon Nest R rebalancing.

I guess players won't be happy with such compensation. After all, they lost 2 years' game progress and not everything can be found back.

Jesse Stern announced in a recent interview that Titanfall 2 would also have a single player campaign. Stern said that the first game, which he also worked on, left players without answers as it did not have a proper story mode.

"One of the shortcomings of the first game was we just did not have the mechanism to tell everyone 'Here's who you are, here's where you are and who's around you,'" Stern said. "We knew all the answers, we just could not deliver it."

Stern also added that Titanfall 2 would probably see a multi-platform release on PC and Xbox consoles, and that the game would even get its own TV show to further familiarize players with the world.
