Cliff Bleszinski-headed Boss Key Studios announced public Alpha tests for LawBreakers which features gravity-based combat is now live so interested players can sign up to get a chance getting in the alpha.

LawBreakers is a first-person shooter in which even the laws of physics can be shattered, creating intense gravity-based combat and resulting in an ever-evolving and bloody arena. Set in a futuristic rebuilt America, players will choose whether to kill for the nobility of the “Law,” or go out for blood as a “Breaker,” as they take part in the conflict raging across iconic locations including the boiling oceans off the Santa Monica coastline, to a gravity ravaged Grand Canyon and nearly unrecognizable Mount Rushmore.

LawBreakers will be in booth #5116 if you are attending PAX East in Boston. LawBreakers is published by Nexon, orginally as a free-to-play title before it switched to a pay-to-play game. The game will be available on Steam exclusively with the exact alpha date to be announced.

 



Top 5 Most Anticipated VR Titles at PAX East 2016

Projected to be an $80 billion market by 2025, Virtual Reality headsets have made significant strides in the last year. With two major models already released; the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift, the market for VR headsets is only going to grow. With PAX East right here, there is going to be a lot buzz around what the future will bring to the world of VR.

>>> More news, features at 2P's PAX EAST special hub!

5. 100Ft. Robot Golf


Guess what this game is about? “No Goblin”, the developers of 100ft Robot Golf look like they have already found a niche in VR gaming. The game looks both hilarious and fun as the No Goblin team modeled this game after their 90’s childhood dreams. Play golf in the mountains, play golf in a city, or golf on the moon, with VR headsets, anything is possible. 100ft Robot Golf will be available later this year and it will be a PlayStation exclusive.

4. The Climb


This is one of those games that’s make me wish I had a VR headset. Crytek’s The Climb is a completely immersive experience were the user is represented by only a pair of hands. The goal: climb whatever obstacle is in front of you. Visually, this is the pinnacle of what VR is capable of right now, and if you’re someone who wants a VR system more for the immersive experience, then I would suggest picking this game up. The Climb is an Oculus Rift exclusive and it is slated to be released later this month.

3. Rigs: Mechanized Combat League


The only thing I can think of when viewing this game is: Rocketleague on steroids. As a PlayStation exclusive, the Sony team combines robots, basketball, and fighting to the death; making it everything you should be looking for in a videogame. As the operator of one these Mechs, the user’s goal is simple; score baskets and kill the opponent. With a myriad of weapons, robot models, and maps, this game seems like it will be an instant success at launch. The release date is unknown, but hopefully, it will be available with the launch of the PlayStation VR in October.

2. Adr1ft


I feel that the games that are built from the ground up with VR technology are going to be far more superior to those where VR technology was added to an already existing game. Adr1ft is one of those games that can only be fully represented in the sphere of Virtual Reality. Wandering around a space station is the stuff of childhood dreams and this first person experience looks to fulfill just that.  Adr1ft has already released for Oculus Rift and will be available for PlayStation VR when released.

1. Eve: Valkyrie


Fly through space in a battlecruiser; do I need to say anything else? Eve: Valkyrie, the most ambitious VR game to date puts the user on a flying spacecraft to combat other players or go up against numerous NPC’s. Just when we thought first-person-shooters were becoming stagnant, a game like this comes out. This is hands down, the most hyped VR game to date, and will most likely go down as the most popular VR game of the year. If you’re lucky enough to own a VR system, you can pick this up today as it is released on all of the popular systems.

Apart from those new titles revealed at EVE Fanfest 2016, players of the core game have something more concrete to look forward to though, with the announcement of an EVE Online companion app. Set to launch in beta form later in summer, with a final release in autumn 2016, the app will connect players to the perpetual world of EVE when they're away from their computers. 



The EVE app will not only let players read and respond to EVEmails but also provide access to in-game corporate calendars. In addition, players can also add multiple characters and use the app to manage subscriptions, check the details and more.

Ascent: The Space Game

Ascent tells the story of a space-faring civilization that has lost it all to greed. Bank collapses led to economic disasters—a chain reaction of loss and despair that eventually took out every government, nation . . . and virtually all colonized systems. Wars have destroyed everything else. Players are tasked with rebuilding humanity's place among the stars—beginning with the eight systems that remain connected to each other through stargates.

The game's two gameplay modes are roughly divided between "Season 1" and "Season 2." The former is more trade-oriented: Players are tasked with rebuilding business empires and attempting to restore order to the human race. Priorities include food and raw materials. In contrast, Season 2 features ship-to-ship (PvE) combat as the player is recruited by the last remnant of the military (United Nations Combined Arms [UNCA]) to help protect the wealthy Janus Merchant Cabal against a pirate syndicate.

Key Features

·         Real-time space combat: Fighter-to-fighter dogfighting that scales up to big ship broadside duels.
·         11 classes and 12 ships: Players can choose from a large number of ship designs, which will eventually increase to 18—from cargo holds of roughly 10 tons to 1.3 million or more.
·         Farming and mining on planet surfaces: Players can build their own planetary bases for resource harvesting. "City simulation"-style play.
·         Personal starbase construction: Players can construct and customize their own starbases, which become a home in space. Starbases are also the center for heavy zero-g manufacturing and research.
·         Trading: Dynamic local NPC markets and player-to-player global markets.
·         Dynamic NPC mission system: Combat, trade (supply/demand), passenger transport, courier, and salvage missions.
·         Asteroid mining: Manual control of ship and axial mining beam based on player/character skill.
·         Research: Blueprint fragments attainable from salvage missions allow players to research forgotten (and new) ships and components. Building enhancements can also be researched.
·         Manufacturing: Every ship, weapon, and utility module in the game may be manufactured by players and sold—or used to customize their ships through custom paint schemes.
·         Gas giant harvesting: Because sometimes players need resources to survive (like hydrogen and oxygen)!
·         Expansive universe: More than 200 billion solar systems (yes, that'stwo zeroes)! The developer is currently adding planetary settlement and starbase construction features to these new systems.
·         Terrain engine: Earth-sized planets with detailed terrain, and new ocean and land shaders that look more realistic on high-end systems.
·         EVA (extra-vehicular activity): Ability to land on planets and explore the terrain. Players can also take soil samples which can be later analyzed onboard. The ship's computer will tell players about the mineral composition and agricultural prospects.
·         Core sampling: Helps players understand what can be mined or farmed on any particular planet or moon, including an estimate on yields.

Netmarble Games, the leading mobile developer in Korea, has recently held a media conference to announce the global strategy for the classic PC-ported mobile game Stone Age. Debut in 1999, Stone Age is one of the most popular MMORPGs with more than two hundred million registered users in Asia. Now the company is planning to port this successful title to mobile devices and roll out the global version in the second half of 2016.
 



The new mobile game adopts the same features from PC version and optimizes it for the mobile gaming experience by the advanced 3D graphics. The game sets in a world where players could catch and raise various prehistoric pets, such as dinosaurs. It offered turned-based combat and Pokémon-style gameplay. Players could breed their pals, as the game called pets, as well as engage in PvE or PvP combat with them.



There are more than 300 pets waiting for players to discover in Stone Age Mobile. Each pet has different growth rate, character and abilities, allowing players to raise the unique pet during the adventure. In addition, the pets also feature different element types: fire, water, earth, and wind. There is a rock-paper-scissors mechanic here, where an element is strong against one but weak to another. 



Stone Age is scheduled to launch in Korea this June, the global version is coming in the second half of 2016. You can visit its official site for more information.

Clash Royale Video Guide on How to Counter Hog Rider + Freeze Spell Deck

$

Though the Hog Rider deck has a lot of variations, Hog Rider + Freeze deck is one of the most popular decks in Clash Royale. In my game experience lately, I'll meet 6/10 hog rider decks in the battle because the combo (or other combos like Spear Goblins + Hog Rider) can deal a lot of damages to the Defense Tower if players failed to counter them correctly. So how to counter the "cancer combo"? Ash made a nice youtube video, giving us some useful tips and tricks on how to beat the Hog Rider and Freeze Spell!



Tips:

1. Whenever your opponent sends in a Hog Rider, always be prepared against a possible Freeze Spell.

2. Add at least one building card in your deck. Carrying at least 1 building card is necessary for defending against not only Hog Riders, but also threats such as the Mortar, X-Bow, Balloon, Golem, and many other threats that would otherwise directly target your Arena Towers.

3. Avoid putting your troops from the highlighted blue area. Instead, placing troops in the "sweet spot".


4. Don't place the troops between King Tower and Arena Tower.


5. Where to deploy your building:

6. Avoid placing your defense building before your opponent sends out his Hog Rider.

7. When facing a Hog Rider + other small troops combo, better place the defense building top!

7. Don't place troops in front of the hog rider because he will push one of the troops behind so they will be freezed. Instead, deploy troops like this in the below screenshot.

Despite a recent lawsuit where Studio Wildcard had to give off a large chunk of its bank assets as settlement, ARK: Survival Evolved is still going strong, with another patch released. The most interesting change is the addition of Direbears and Manta that can be tamed.

Exciting news, Survivors! As of patch 239, you will now be able to spot Direbears prowling the island and the deadly Manta swimming off shore. Two new structures are also now available, the Chemistry Table and Primitive Cannon. 

The first of our boss arenas, the Broodmother Arena, has been added to the ARK! The Broodmother battle is much more epic and dangerous now that Tribes must face her in her very own cobwebbed lair deep within the ARK… but bring some trusty Dinosaurs to the fight and you might just survive!

Clash Royale Arena 3 Best Deck (800 - 1400 Trophies)

$
0
0
This deck is purely built for Counter-Defense, then a full on attack.

INFORMATION:
I used this deck from around 800 to 1400 Trophies and won probably 90% of my games. This deck is used for counter defending, then going on an attack.

Best usage of cards:
At the start you want to use either the Spear Goblins, Barbarians or Goblin Hut. Put them at the back of the king tower. Now, you want to make sure you don't blow your Elixir since this Deck is all about Elixir lead. So once you throw one of those down, you want to see what your opponent plays. If he plays low hitpoint cards, just kill them with a Musketeer or Baby Dragon. Once you know for sure he doesn't have any Elixir, throw your Barbarians, and Baby Dragon down for the push. If you see him pushing the other way, make sure you throw your Bomb Tower down. With this build you want to counter-attack at any opportunity you have.

CARD INFORMATIONS:

Baby Dragon:

This card is an air troop that has medium-high hitpoints with good damage.
USAGE: Defending against Skeleton Army, Skeletons, Goblins, Spear Goblins.

Musketeer:
This card is a ground troop that has low hitpoints but great range and great damage.
USAGE: Defending against Air Troops and attacking with high hitpoint pushers.

Spear Goblins:
This card is three ground troop spear throwing goblins with low hitpoints but good for pushing or defending against Prince, Mini-Pekka and other high damage pushers.
USAGE: Defending against Price, Mini-Pekka, Stacking Damage on Giants or pushing with Prince.

PRINCE:
This card is a ground troop that moves fast with high hitpoints, amazing damage, and good for solo pushing.
USAGE: Pushing alone on the other side of the opponents charge. And pushing with Spear Goblins.

Bomb Tower:
This card is the king of defense. It uses bombs which have splash damage to destroy it's opponents.
USAGE: Put it in the middle of the lane 4 or so squares from the river and destroy their Spear Goblins, Goblins, Skeletons, and other low hitpoint troops.

Barbarians:
This card is the icing on top of your cake. This card is used for pushing, defending, and being swag. It spawns 4 high hitpoint, medium damage, overpowered barbarians.
USAGE: Pushing, defending, owning all.

Goblin Hut:
This card spawns a Goblin Hut which spawns one Spear Goblin every 4.9 seconds,
USAGE: Put it behind your archer tower and push with the Spear Goblins.

Arrows:
This card is the KING of destroying Skeleton Armies.
USAGE: If they throw a Goblin Barrel, Skeleton Army, or have a bunch of low hitpoint troops, throw it on top of them. IMPORTANT. SAVE FOR THOSE AND THOSE ONLY. DON'T USE IT ON TOWERS OR HIGH HITPOINT TROOPS.

ALTERNATIVES:
Minions/Knight-Baby Dragon
Barbarian Hut-Goblin Hut
Tesla-Bomb Tower

Black Desert Online Wants to Bring More Adventure to Sea!

$

In a pretty big world, how can they make this game BIGGER?

Black Desert Online is a beautiful game with various filters to make the environments the game has look peaceful, bright, or even dark and eerie.  Many of the NPCs show signs of life instead of just boringly standing still, commerce (or appear to due to its animation) just like us players, and also give us the best bushes to hide in.
 
Good, good little one…. Look in that bush… Not this bush please.

On top of all of this, the map is pretty large – and is only going to get larger. According to an interview with Pearl Abyss on MMORPG.com, we’re going to expect quite a lot of content during 2016/2017. Not everything is set and stone at the moment, and Pearl Abyss has said “these plans can change,” but it’s still pretty hype and the content sounds phenomenal.
 
First of all, we’re getting more oceanic content! At the moment, we couldn’t do much on water as we could on land. There are abilities to dive and swim, and there are boats in the game, but still it doesn’t make much use of the ocean. However, with the new content Pearl Abyss has told us, there will be a lot more to do.  There will be major oceans added into the world, and navigation will be led by compasses and sea charts, along with intercontinental trade nodes that you would be able to go to. There will also be merchant ships, battleships, and naval combat – yes. NAVAL COMBAT. This would allow guilds to build boats and fight each other. 
 
An example of a sea battle. Imagine this with a bigger boat and cannons, hopefully.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

 
There would be a new category of leveling due to this for water navigation and/or naval combat, and get this: underwater exploration and diving for treasure might be possible. Essentially, you can become a pirate.

Speaking of exploration, there will be more lands to explore! The land of the Giants, or the Dregan region, would be added, along with the land of the elves, or the the Kamasilvia region.  There is not much known about Dregan, but Kamasilvia will have their capital city, Grandir, governed by two queens: Brolina from the Ganelle clan and Herawen who are in charge of domestic affairs.

If you expected a male ranger to pop up, given the land of the elves, we will not be getting one- for now. However, we will be getting a dark elf. The reason why we wouldn’t be getting the male ranger is due to them not being able to find a solution so far since it would overlap with this new class and had been considering various play patterns.
 
From her weapon depicted, she might be a DPS-based class? Not sure. 
 
Along with the new race, there are new awakenings for each character. Images of them are below. Each one gets one new weapon, some of them really fitting the character.

As for pets and mounts to help our journeys, there will be 9-teir horses and baby elephant pets.  There were three types: the Hell Firey Horse, the Pegasus, and the Unicorn, all of these varying in skills, but won’t be particularly faster. The baby elephants would be specialized for trading.

Now we have land and sea to explore, but what about dungeons, like traditional MMOs? At the moment, Pearl Abyss will be open to the possibility, but do believe that “It can effectively deliver the experience as intended by the developers to a limited number of players in a set space, but players must follow certain rules, and it is almost impossible to prevent repeated experiences. This will be the same for any forthcoming dungeons.” They are trying to enrich the PVE experience though by bringing in field bosses, and currently are trying to “give a specific role to certain monsters in the field.” 

Last, but not least, they would add voice chat support, a wanted player system, and various co-op contests. All of this would just add a bunch of life to the game, fun, and more adventure, giving older players more to do while newer players can catch up and explore the environment around.

To those who wanted trading restrictions removed, Pearl Abyss would like to keep the restrictions for now. They said that “Direct P2P transaction is an essential feature in terms of the degree of freedom, one of the core values an MMORPG should pursue. However, contrary to the positive connotation associated with the word “freedom,” most MMORPGs are full of item sweatshop operations and auto-players, which result from the ease of item monetization.”  They suggest that we should just continue to observe how the system currently is working out and if you have any suggestions that could work with their system, that you should contact them.
 
A summary of Pearl Abyss would like to add:

-Major oceans
-Merchant Ships
-Naval Combat
-New category of leveling for water navigation and/or naval combat
-Underwater exploration and Diving for treasure
- The land of the Giants, or the Dregan region, along with the land of the elves, or the the Kamasilvia region. 
-New Class/Race: Dark Elf
- 9-teir horses and baby elephant pets. 
-Voice chat support
-A wanted player system
-Various co-op contests.
-Character Awakenings
 
Concept art for these ideas are here (it is in Korean), and a big thanks to William Murphy for the interview.
 
With that, this concludes the list. Though I’m a bit sad about the ranger, I will say that the maritime content is astounding, and I hope it comes quick. What is the best (or worst) you’ve seen?
 

Gloria Victis, Latest Patch Aims To Redefine The PvP Experience

In their latest weekly update to Gloria Victis, Black Eye Games applied a patch that they claim will completely redefine the PvP experience of players in the game. In addition to updated graphics that will greatly improve the view distance, and by definition, ranged combat, the game will also benefit from a largely improved server performance that will allow for more precise actions with little input lag.

Changelog

Gameplay:

– Fixed all of the reported methods of duplicating items; please report if there are any other methods left – each player who reported an unique, unknown method will be rewarded with an account upgrade or an additional game key!
– Modfified the NPC mercenaries respawn mechanics at the “Valley of Death” tournament – only mercenaries who support the losing team will appear, depending on the difference in points and amount of participants, not on the flag status (a nation which controls the flag still earns additional points)
– Disabled the HP regeneration of NPC mercenaries during the “Valley of Death” tournament
– Reduced the respawn time during the “Valley of Death” tournament and on arena to 5 seconds
– Made it possible to revive an unconcious character on arena even if the respawn time expired
– Implemented auto-learning the basic recipes after creating a character
– Added NPC enemies on the islands of the exiled players
– Increased a chance to loot the recipes for parts of armour made from hides of the animal bosses
– Improved display of the accomplished achievements and rewards for them on the screen
– Improved the game’s graphics on ultra settings, greatly increasing the display range of terrains, objects and shadows

Optimization:

– Optimized spawning the players characters on server and removing them, resolving most of the problems with the servers performance
– Optimized the CPU usage

Ace of Arenas - Champion Guide: Domino

Ace of Arenas - Champion Guide: Domino


Domino is carry, and can only be played as an Attack Damage Carry. Building her any other way, would be pointless and underwhelming. Her passive scales off her range, and with only 50% of weapon power scaling off her abilities - attack speed is the way to go. With her tremendous amount of attack speed mid-game, you’ll deal plenty of critical damage. She doesn’t scale well with HP items, and you have much better tanks in the game. Although building On-Hit Domino might seem appealing, Deadly Chase applies a solid armor break - and that’s great for crits. “Never forget the power of Crits.”

Runes
Ruby - Attk Dmg
Sapphire - Health
Emerald - Cool Down
Amethyst - Attk Dmg

Abilities:
Deadly Chase: The closer Domino is to her target, the higher her damage becomes.
This is what makes Domino a threat. Don't be afraid of your squishiness - your damage output will always win a duel, if you combo correctly.

Fatal Thrust: Fires 3 rounds of bullets to the designated direction, dealing physical damage and reducing target's armor for 3 seconds.
It’s a slow, and an armor break - what’s not to like. Since it does reduce the enemy's armor you must start with this ability in your combo. When farming, Fatal Thrust allows you to do damage to all the minions at once. See laning*

Battlefield Raider: Rolls 5 ranges to target direction, lowering attack damage and movement speed of enemy units within 2 ranges of where she lands for 2 seconds. Normal attack reduces 1 second of this ability's cooldown.
You never want to stack the slow from Battlefield Raider, and Fatal Thrust. Always separate these abilities with an Auto Attack, unless stunned or silenced of course. Since it reduces the attack damage and move speed of your enemy, using Battlefield Raider as an escape as soon as jumped on is best.

Electric Trap: Domino throws an electrified net that damages and slows enemy units, inflicting immobilize when slow effect fades.
Using this ability correctly guarantees the kill for an aggressive player. The immobilize doesn't trigger immediately, which means you can use it in two different ways; as an escape, or insurance on landing a perfect combo. When starting Combo 2, wait for Electric Trap to trigger for perfect Battlefield Raid placement.

Combo 1:
Fatal Thrust > Atk > Battlefield Raider > Atk > Atk > Atk
Combo 2:
Fatal Thrust > Atk > Electric Trap > Atk > Battlefield Raider > Atk > Atk > Atk




Early Game
Sword of Rage
Apprentice Shoes
Mobility and damage, great for last hitting minions and poking. Great for rushing into you Shoes of Haste, which will allow easier roaming. Deadly Chase allows domino to specialize in close range combat, and poke/kite with her pistol. Since farming in the early game is key, I would recommend taking Fatal thrust as your first ability to lane the enemy and finish off the minion wave.

Mid Game
Shoes of Haste
Haste Bow
Bloody Scythe
You’ve finished your boots, and started building into Haste Bow. Your attack speed is high enough to extend combo 1, and extra Atk after Fatal Thrust. At this point if you feel you’ve mastered Battlefield Raider, try and get behind the enemy when initiating your combo. This will allow you to deal maximum damage, and allow you to focus on your combos instead of targeting.

Late Game
Solari’s Bow
Reaper’s Scythe
Bloodstained Executioner
Silver Spear > Prominence
If your team has done a great job at letting you carry, you should be able to 2v1 easily and take a tower in under 5 seconds. If not, Domino has an extremely hard time keeping up with the other champions late game. Make sure you constantly clearing your lane, then immediately grabbing the closest jungle camp before you gank. Be ready to catch them off guard - at this point in the game, you should only be ulting two or more enemies. Combo 2, should never change - which is why Combo 1 is so strong. If you can pick one of them off, and Battlefield Raid away, your team should be able to regroup enough to have a decent team fight.

Laning
Last hitting is only hard, if you dont lane your enemy. Finishing off the minion close range, is your best bet in finishing all the minions off properly. If solo laning, try to weaken as many minions as you can before finishing them off with Fatal Thrust. When facing a mage (your only real weakness,) wait for them to use an ability - then combo into the lane, and finish off the back minions that you should have been weakening. Getting owned??? Your build allows the maximum amount of mobility, make sure you are roaming to the closest lane as much as possible. Take the jungle camps early game, with the help of you team. Past lvl 6 you should be able to counter jungle, and easily escape as soon as you see the enemy leave lane.

Team Fights
No team is perfect, and you’re target is the stragglers first. As you wait in the brush, wait for a change to initiate Combo 2, on two of the enemy team members. Remember, Electric Trap doesn't immediately stun, so try to stay in range of only your main target. Play as an assassin to ensure you stay alive, meaning bounce in and out of combat. Sticking too close to the center of combat, will make you the obvious target. Staying near the brush will allow you to use Battlefield Raider to keep you safe.

Hard Counters
Mephisto, Gaer, Habbie, Locke

Soft Counters
Helen, Natasha, Constantine

*Tips
You can out damage your soft counters, unless they disrupt it with an ability.
You are squishy; getting kited after missing Battlefield Raider will hurt laning, and getting stunned is your worst nightmare.
You're extremely fast, take full advantage of roaming.


 

Crowfall Experiments With Its Armor System

ArtCraft Entertainment has been focusing on balancing the stats and armor aspect of Crowfall in the recent updates, and this will apperently be their direction for a while. After changes related to the stat bonuses, health values, regen values and armor values, they will now be tackling the armor types and their effects on different archetypes.

For instance, heavy armor will still provide the best defensive capabilities, but will now decrease the damage dealt by the wearers. Moreover, while the developers still encourage players to try out different armor types and builds, they will also be introducing bonuses for characters using the same armor type in all armor slots.
 
They also stressed the fact that they are still experimenting with their armor system, and that they will most likely be different in the final version. Follow this link for the full details.

PAX East 2016 is aleady here! If you are attending this year, you might already notice those cool "Uberwatch". From April 22-24 Uber will provide free rides for PAX East attendees in Boston in three different Overwatch-themed exotic cars driven by their respective costumed heroes:
 
  • Tracer, a former British test pilot who shrugs at danger, and executes impossible acrobatic assaults thanks to her ability to teleport and reverse time, drives a Lamborghini Aventador
  • D.Va, a former pro gamer and international celebrity from Korea, who normally pilots a booster-equipped flying mech, is behind the wheel of a Polaris Slingshot
  • Soldier: 76, a vigilante waging a personal war to expose the truth behind Overwatch’s collapse, and currently the target of an international manhunt, is on the run in a Ford F650 Supertruck
 
How to request an UberWATCH

PAX attendees will see an UberWATCH option in their app (available only during PAX East) to request a ride that can be met at designated spots outside PAX. Attendees getting rides at PAX can be driven to their destinations within a 3-mile radius of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

WoW Vanilla Server Petition Passes 200K Signatures

Not long ago, Blizzard decided to shut down the private server Nostalrius that continued to run the vanilla version of the game. However, the community has been trying to make Blizzard reconsidering it by starting a petition in the past few days. In fact, former World of Warcraft developer Mark Kern is also behind the petition, promising that if the petition signatures surpass 200,000, he will deliver it to Blizzard president Mike Morhaime personally. (At the time of this writing, the total signatures has been reached 221,690!)

Now its time for me to get to work and put together a package to deliver to Mike Morhaime. Here's what I'm doing:

1) Printing the petition. All 5000 pages of it.

2) Writing an open letter to Mike, and sharing it with the community.

3) Shooting a video of the open letter and uploading it to @SodaPoppinTv's channel

4) E-mailing the whole thing to Mike on Friday and making the letter/video public on Friday as well.

5) Following up on Monday with a call to Mike on his cell and office.

I want to thank @SodaPoppingTv for being so passionate and doing the WoW stream to publicize this. I want to thank @Nostalbegins for taking the time to Skype with me and show me what a great bunch of devs they are, and thanks for everyone on my feed and following me @Grummz for all the moral support and tweets.

But...Especially, thank you petition signers! Thank you vanilla WoW fans! Thank you for supporting this petition and for playing and loving vanilla and early WoW so damn much! YOU did this! YOU can make it happen. And I'll be there right alongside you.

For the Alliance, for the Horde, for Azeroth!

We don't know if Blizzard will really reconsider it, after all, it's a rogue server where players won't need to pay subscriptions. The interesting thing is how Blizard CEO Mike Morhaime would react to this.

Like a Boss Allows Players to Control the Evil Boss to Fight Against Heroes

You might be used to act as a hero in game and fight against those evil-looking boss in the raid, but the upcoming action RPG 'Like a Boss' will completely reverse these two roles. In this game you will essentially play as a epic raid boss at the end of a dungeon, and what you need to do is crushing players (the heroes) as they come to steal your treasures.


During the battle, players can make full use of those powerful skills and fight against up to 40 heroes at a time. With each successful victory, use points to upgrade your boss and unlock new bosses. Like a Boss has been in the work since 2013, and it is now soft-launched on Canada APP store. The official version is scheduled to come to mobile devices later this year.
