If you have been following Blade & Soul you may know pretty lot of the game’s combat system. If you are not very familiar with the game, you can learn how the game’s target system and combo trigger machanism work in the game.
 

The combat in Blade & Soul is dependent on your actions and reaction, and many of your martial abilities are triggered upon certain events. Your action bar at the bottom of the screen shows the skills you have available in general situations; however, these skill bars will shift to display abilities that are available to take advantage of a given situation.
 
For example, if you’re knocked down as a Destroyer, your skill options will change to a give you a number of different abilities that allow you to jump back up into the battle. But be quick, or you could lose your chance to respond.

Blade & Soul will release in EU and NA in Q1 2016. Beta is expected to start later this year.

Last month we reported that Order & Chaos 2: Redemption, a sequal to the popular World of Warcraft clone mobile game Order & Chaos, will be coming soon. However, at that time, we didn't know much about this sequal. All we knew is that Order & Chaos 2 is set in 600 years background after the world-shattering event at the end of the first MMO. Today with a new trailer released by Gameloft, we are able to take a first look at the two new features in Order & Chaos 2, namely the solo dungeon and the instanced quest.



Solo dungeon as you can tell from the name of the feature, it fits the solo players well because after all, you may probably be playing games alone. It allows individual players to raid easily and also gain exp and rewards. Four dungenons will be available at launch with more to come. As for the instanced quest, players don't have to search NPCs first and waiting for them to give a quest. Instanced quests enables players to trigger the quests when they enter the quest zones and loot and rewards will be given to players automatically after completing the quest.

CivCraft
is designed to be both a First Person and a Real Time Strategy game, and you can switch between these modes whenever you wish. You can rule your kingdom in a huge and open world, or go on adventures with the character you created. 

When you start off, you get to choose between the Warrior, Wizard and Builder classes. You can go on quests, level up, or build a powerful kingdom to rule the land of Ellaria with large cities, a working economy, farming and resources. You don’t just play as your character - you control armies, lay siege to cities and carve out an empire, in a non-linear gameplay.

CivCraft

After three years of development, this refreshing concept has been launched on Kickstarter and offers you the chance to play CivCraft just a few weeks after the campaign ends.

CivCraft's Kickstarter campaign was launched with the modest sum of 12,500$, but relies on stretch goals that will allow the developers to add even more features to CivCraft, such as espionage, controlled siege weapons, multiple wizard classes, an arena, and tons of improvements to graphics, playability, as well as support for multiplayer and Modding. CivCraft's Kickstarter campaign was funded in four days, and offers bonuses for early comers.

CivCraft

The Kickstarter campaign offers unique rewards to CivCraft's backers, such as a special edition, unique artwork and the ability to design your own spells, items, levels, quests and characters inside the world of CivCraft, as well as to place your name in CivCraft's in-game credits.

"As we are an Indie company with a fresh concept, we would like to develop and publish the best game possible and with as many features as we can", said Arik and Adrian, the CEO's of Larkon Studios. "We would like to give you the opportunity to play CivCraft - Legends of Ellaria sooner than the official Steam release, as well as contribute and make suggestions to our developers about which direction we should take CivCraft. This means that the more backers we will have, CivCraft will be published better, quicker and with more features."

Report - Final Fantasy XIV China Server May Get Instant Level 50 Boost Service

0

Final Fantasy XIV just turned one year old in China and the game's producer Naoki Yoshida implied at a celebration event in China that they were considering bringing instant level 50 boost service to China server.
 
Square Enix may introduce in level 50 boost after Heavensward expansion releases in China this fall. There will never be pay-to-win content, Naoki stressed, although he did have plan to add cash shop to the game. The game will remain subscription MMO and if there were cash shop, it will offer cosmetic items only.
 
Naoki admitted the game's operation in the past year in China failed to meet Square Enix's expectation. There were some reasons, according to Naoki, that prevented the game's success in China: the impact of flourishing Chinese mobile game market, the P2P model which was not popular in China, and the time that needs to be invested to play the game.
 
Below are images of FFXIV China's first anniversary event.
