Konami has recently revealed details about Sabotage prior to Cloaked In Silence release. This is an objective game mode in which an attacking team must destroy or fulton an enemy Missile before time runs out.
All the defending team needs to do is ensure the safety of their missile until the end of the round. An electromagnetic barrier protects the Missile from most damage and all fulton attempts. To shut down this EM barrier the attacking team must hack two separate terminals on the map. Once done, the defending team can take back control of the terminal or just defend the Missile from attacks.

With The Division’s final launch drawing near, players have been quite faimilar with the gameplay. But microtransaction is one thing that still concerns players. Ubisoft’s community manager Natchai Stappers addresses the concern, saying that “there will be no microtransactions, and definitely no P2W.”

The art style is the biggest selling point of the game and most of the planets are so different from each other. Planet 2 - A Slimy Future
Planet 3 - Matter of Perspective
Planet 4 - A Hero for all Seasons
Planet 5 - Stuck in Time, in Time, in Time...
Planet 6 - An Alien in the Playground
And if you’re a fan of Monument Valley, then you’ll feel right at home because some of the levels feature some tricky optical illusions. Each puzzle will take a few minutes to solve, though you can’t really get stuck on a stage since the events happen pretty chronologically. You’ll have to collect items to use on other objects, activate switches, and more on your journey for rebuilding your love.
Plus, with the developer already promising more levels in the future (with no in-app purchases), there is plenty of reason to keep coming back to this adorable point-and-click puzzle adventure.
Following the today’s headstart for players who have purchased the Conqueror’s package, Black Desert Online is going to start the official launch on March 3 in EU/NA. As one of the most visually stunning game, Black Desert features tons of epic cosmetic armors. Pearl Abyss has just revealed a series of premium armors in South Korea server. Although no words on whether it will arrive at western market, you can still check it out.
The new class - Warlock in Blade and Soul will become available on March 2. It is the eighth class to be added to blade & soul, and we have introduced seven classes in bns class choosing guide. Let's share this good news to you.
The Warlock is the second dedicated ranged class with great power, but it is to be considered fragility in blade & soul. It has significant casting time and cooldown time, which requires one of three strategies to be employed: keeping enemies at bay, increasing the high damage abilities, or reducing cooldown time.
A unique play style in BNS is different from other MMOs. The Warlock class is available to Jin and Lyn Races. The Jin and Lyn have reached into the beyond and tapped into the dark power, which is necessary to train as Warlock.
The Warlock is a new class that uses Dagger as weapon and summons creature to fight in battle. The most iconic aspect of the Warlock is that has ability to summon apparitions to deal with the physical damage, and server to the bosses and mobs, thus minimize damage to the Warlock or teammates. Of course, the Warlock also has binding abilities that are surrounding enemies and doing damage in pulse.
Using mid-range abilities to snare enemies, executing fast and furious combos, and then summoning a massive Thrall to kill the enemies.
The Warlock needs to eliminate opponents quickly and efficiently, or risk being overwhelmed and the Warlock is defeated easily.
In Arena PVP, the Warlock has a pretty substantive set of defensive skills to accompany its powerful offensive skills. Prioritizing instant-cast abilities, fast casting speed, high damage and defensive abilities can ensure the Warlock remains competitive with other classes.
All in all, let's expect the new class - Warlock to come in on March 2.
Follow the Gnome Hunters coming to World of Warcraft family, mechanical pet is no longer some kind of joke for the upcoming Legion expansion. WOW-petopia has just datamined the World of Warcraft 7.0 Alpha client and revealed some model shots for Legion so far. Today we will show you five best pets you should catch in World of Warcraft: Legion.
Hellhounds
Two modelsm both with reduced effects compared to the original model. "HellHoundSkeleton" has no particle/fire effects. HellHoundFire has a mild, green fog.
Mechanical Wolves
This cool robotic canine would almost certainly become tameable in the new Mechanical family.
Mana Sabers
This is a non-mount model based on the Store mount. Data suggest that these will be tameable in a special "Mana Saber" family of their own.
Spiny Basilisks
Spiders
A wicked new model with four colours. In addition there's a "Nightmare" version that seems to be based on the same model.
As the international open beta for Tree of Savior will come probably next month, I think it's necessary to make a guide about the best class builds to use, especially at end-game. This is based on the latest Korean version.
Archer archetype
There are 2 popular styles for Archer, the high burst type based on Ranger and the balanced type based on Quarrel Shooter. High burst type is recommended.
After some balances Wizard classes are no longer the top DPS classes but excellent supporting ones. However, both DPS and support Wizards are needed in party.
After several patches, Swordsman has lower DPS than Archer in general. However, with proper tank builds, Swordsman can still be a great DPS in all classes.
Black Desert Online headstart for package holders has started. More and more players will be entering the world. We'd like to do a poll and see what the most popular class is.
Lineage is really an old MMORPG that was released far away back in 1998 in South Korea. Although the game is no longer available in North America, Lineage is still the main source of NCsoft's earnings due to its phenomenal performance in Asia, especially in South Korea, even after so many years. If you ever played Lineage before, you'll know that leveling is kinda hard in Lineage especially in high level. Recently, a Korean player finally managed to get to the max level, which is 90 currently. He is the first player in Korean server to do that.
According to the report, it took him about 7 months to level up from 88 to 89 and he finally hit level 90 on Feb 27th, 2016. Though Lineage was playable in 1998, the player actually created his character in July 2013, which means it took him less than 3 years to complete that achievement.
In case you are wondering why it takes years to hit max level in a game, report said that at high level, the XP you can get is extremely limited. Normally, you can get doubled XP at Level 1-29, and normal XP at 30-64. After level 65, the game becomes very difficult to level up: your XP gain is 50% of the normal gain at level 65-69, and 25% at level 70-74, and at 1/64 at level 80. After level 80, your XP gain is 50% less each time you level up, which makes the game ridiculously hard to level up.
On the other hand, another Chinese player "KH" was managed to hit the max level in Chinese server on February 4. The Lineage officials rewarded him with 3 gears and also set up an in-game statue for him. Other players can get buff by touching the statue. But in fact, it is not that hard for him to level up to 90 because players can level up directly to 80 in an event.
Do you have the same feeling with me that watching a trailer is more interesting than watching a tediouspotboiler nowadays? Maybe the best film cutter all go to clip teaser and trailer. Mobile game trailer goes the same way with movie trailer.
As a way to advertise, it integrate the most essence part of the game such as the gameplay, graphics, sound and other selling points. Especially when Rewarded Video (incentive Video) has become an important way of promoting the game, the developers began to increasingly keen for the trailer. Sending the message that “buy me and download me ” to potential players within ten seconds requires skills. Enjoy the seven mobile game trailers that I carefully selected below.
Act in Reallife - Slide the Shakes
90% mobile game trailers are made of CG scenes or screenshots. So when a real person coming into a trailer, it can be really funny.
Developers High act as the bartender and push the well-made chocolate and milk shake from one side of the table to the nearly stool. As a result, he pushed the three times while three full-cuped drinks burst outside the screen.
With the glass broken, the graceful background music also stopped in time. Suddenly it makes me feel "absurd".
Download: Not All that Glitters is Gold - The Westport Independent
The elements such ad Freedom of the press, speech control, public opinion guidance go together within 1 minute 22 seconds trailer. it is hard not to attract people's attention. Background music using lots of leaping piano accompaniment and the drums. The rhythm is becoming faster. I seem to see a pair of lover dancing and singing with their head raised. And they also show their rich facial expressions to to the audience every now and then.
The music ended in the climax which means the newspaper office in the game will be forced to collected after 12 weeks. While the quality of the game is far lower than the players' expectations. Maybe this trailer is the best design to them.
Download:
To be or Not To be - In Between Mobile
This is the most ordinary trailer I picked - simple game image stitching without other selling points.
The trailer uses the the parallel montage technique and show a black man (our character)walking in the hospital, streets in the dark of night, a dark hospital room and Los Angeles slums.
In the game, the black man die again and again in the well-designed levels by developers and finally reached the finish line. It’s a real art games like the promotion at the beginning of the trailer.
Download: Having Great Originality - Lumino City
Choosing this trailer is out of respect.
To create the environment, a ten foot high model city was built by hand and by laser cutter, with each motor and light wired up individually, bringing the scenes to luminous life.
While there are probably thousands of such teams around the world coding away into the night, the members of this team are a bit different. Among them are an architect, a photographer, and a model maker, all needed to help physically construct the game’s environment. Titled Lumino City, the entire video game was first handmade entirely out of paper, card, miniature lights and motors.
Download: A Delicate Metaphor - Prune
Did you noticed that the trailer of art game is always quiet good. Prune is not a exception.
"Prune" has two trailers and I chose the first edition. In this version, there are almost no demonstration of gameplay but it expresses more.
Under the sun, a little tree grows slowly. Environmental changes along with the growing of the little tree, from the mountains to tall buildings, through the agricultural age to industrial civilization. At this time, the core gameplay come out - cut excess trees so that it can finally see the sun. This metapho also alluding to the sacrifice of the environment for industrial development.
Really good game will let player think in the same way. So does "Prune".
