Black Desert Online Russian publisher GameNet posted an open letter to announce that delay of the P2P server is addressed along with the news of refunds or exchanges for in-game improvements. Besides, Black Desert Online Russian started to block Western IPs on October 15, and GameNet is now working on refund these players as well as Russian players who are also seeking to get their money back. 



GameNet planned to launch both F2P and P2P servers simultaneously, but due to technical issues this wish was unattainable. As a result, the P2P servers will not be launched until the spring 2016, which has caused quite the controversy within the BDO community.



GameNet announced some compensation plans for players’ dissatisfaction. They state that players can exchange the right for early access to P2P server for in-game improvements, such as a year long "Premium" + "Comfort" packs access. In addition, owners of the early access bundles who have not logged in or do not have a character above level 10 will receive 1500 bonus GN-coins. The exchange will become available this week through GameNet application and will remain accessible for 2 weeks. If not choosing this option, players will retain the right to early access on P2P servers at launch, whenever it happens.

Heart of Thorns Tips

Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
has officially launched on October 23 and many players have started their adventure in the new map. New players may find themselves in need of some tips for a smooth start. MMORPG.com has these tips for you.
 
1. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY EQUIP YOUR ELITE SPEC
 
To wield new weapon and use new abilities, you need to actually go into your Traits and make one of the three trait lines your newly unlocked Elite Specialization.
 
2. YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING RIGHT AWAY
 
The new Maguuma regions are a little bit different to previous regions you explored in GW2 because some of these areas are supposed to be gradually unlocked as you progress. So come back later if you find yourself impeded.
 
3. DON'T IGNORE THE OLD WORLD
 
Hero Points replaced the old Skill Point challenges across Tyria a while back, so all of them now give Hero Points too. So if you haven't collected all skills points in the old maps, be sure to go back and get them.
 
4. FIND A GROUP, RUN WITH THE HERD
 
5. TRY THE ACTION CAMERA
 
6. SPEND YOUR MASTERY POINTS AS YOU CAN

The Division: Weather and Time Will Actually Affect Gameplay - Here's How

The Division

Tom Clancy's The Division
features dynamic weather and time system which not only gives you realistic visuals but also affects your gameplay in New York City. The developer just went into details of how it worked.
 
First of all, watch a trailer highlighting the weather. Video is captured on Xbox One.

 
 
"When in a full storm, visibility is hindered, both for NPCs and the agent. Our worst storm conditions that can hit will affect aim assist and detection ranges for both players and NPCs,” Senior Game Designer Fredrik Thylander says. Based on the time of day and certain weather conditions, you will experience civilians and wildlife differently, and in some cases, not at all.

The Division
 
A mission during the day has a totally different mood than a mission during the night, and it's up to you when to go out. That goes the same to weather condition, and you may want to stay indoor and wait for a favorable weather condition.

Blade & Soul vs. Archeage: Combat System

$
0
0

The hit titles Archeage and Blade & Soul are two games with many differences, excepting one common point in genre. The differences not only showcase in the graphics and systems, but also the gameplay.

The most of MMORPG players are battling in game. Undoubtedly, the combat system is one f the most important parts in MMORPG. Today, we talk about the combat system in the two games.

Archeage

Differentiating from combat systems in current many MMORPGs, Blade & Soul automatically targets monsters. The combat system of Blade & Soul is more gorgeous with cool action, while Archeage is a bit simple. In all, two games have different selling points.

1. Archeage is the terminator to classical combat system

The combat system of Archeage is based on DPS system. Players could adjust attack objects, distance and direction. They could even move freely and attack due to separation of different parts of body. The combat system of Archeage is similar to that in World of Warcraft, but better.

Archeage

Archeage not only has different attack and passive action according to different weapons, but also some action model related to many skills. Archeage not only overcomes the shortage of DPS-based combat system with weak beat feeling, but also increase the immersion in the game.

Although the exquisite control is important to Archeage, using different skill combos according to different situations is more important. If players use skills appropriately, PvP and many PK will be easier. The charm of Archeage combat system is to master combat situation and unleash different skills.

2. Blade & Soul's gorgeous combat and action

The feature of Blade & Soul's combat system is "act firstly, then judge" mode. Differentiating from regular combat mode - aim first and unleash skills later, the effective attack combat mode in Blade & Soul is the real hit on your enemies. So, players could feel the real action in Blade & Soul.

Blade & Soul

Because the skill system could be changed with the situation, there are very few skill hot keys in Blade & Soul. That is to say, a certain hot key will change its skill according to the change of situation. However, these skills are equal to common attack in other MMORPGs' combat system.

Blade & Soul

In addition, players could unleash counterattack and defense by pressing counterattack and defense keys. After players use counterattack skills, players could dodge the opponents' attack in a short time and beat back. At this moment, players could use ultimate skills. Technically, the combat in Blade & Soul is to unleash powerful ultimate skills, conduct fatal attack while the opponents trapped into abnormal status or attack opponents after you dodge attack successfully. Players should judge the different situation to unleash effective skills.

Blade & Soul

Because players should beat back or defense, players should be well aware of the oppoents' attack distance, skill action and others. Players will be easy to kill all strong monsters if they master the combat. Blade & Soul's combat system focuses on the personal control.

Blade & Soul

 

3. Common grinding Comparison

In MMORPG, grinding is the part that players spend the most time in. So, when you judge a game, the fun in this part is important. However, in this part, Archeage is similar to the existed MMORPGs.

Archeage

At the early stage of Archeage, there is not too much skills to learn. Players could learn more skills and even combo at the later stage to conduct efficient combat. When players become familiar to those skills, they could unleash the skills in a fixed order.

Archeage

In Blade & Soul, players should judge the movement of monsters, then attack or defend. Players are able to use simple skill to kill monsters, but if players learn the monster's attack, players could stop the monsters from unleashing skills.

Archeage

 

4. Boss Raid Comparison

The boss raid is a more charming part in Blade & Soul. However, comparing with other games with similar combat system, the boss raid in Archeage did not change too much. Although XL Games has promised that Archeage's boss raid will adopt more items and siege weapon in the near future, we did not see it come ture.

On the contrary, the boss raid in Blade & Soul is intense and exciting. Although when players are in boss raid, each class does not play unique role, players should change their attack method due to current situation. In addition, when the boss monster use the ultimate skill, players should make good use of the good timing to stop the boss monsters.

There is no healing class in Blade & Soul. The combat in Blade & Soul is challenging. Even though players are familiar with the skill, they could not unleash the skills in a fixed order. They have to act, according to the boss monsters' action.

 

5. PvP Comparison

In MMORPG, PvP is also a very important content. But, skill damage in Blade & Soul have not balanced well. Even if two players at the same level, they have to determine a winner after 2 or 3 rounds. If someone use the "raid" skill at a remote place, the one who get infected will be in a faint and easy to be attacked by combo. That is to say, they will be killed without any reaction.

Archeage

After analyzing the combat system, hunting monsters and PvP, we could speculate that Blade & Soul's 1 player vs. 1 player battle will probably determine the winner by common attack at first, then mental defense and combo in the end, after adjusting the balance.

Archeage

The situation will be changed when it come to the team match. Because players could only defend one attack once, the efficiency of defense skill in team match will decrease. Players are usually easy lose their bearings in combination attack. They could not change the situation easily. It is evident that the number of players is a great advantage in team match.

 

Who will be the winner in the combat system?

The Combat System in Blade & Soul and Archeage is totally different. Analyzing from the efficiency and system, I would love to give Blade & Soul's Combat System a higher score. It strengthens the fun of fight with taking action first and judging later and bring players more continence with changeable skill system.

Blade & Soul

However, Archeage reinforced the existed Combat System. Although the reinforced combat system will bring players stronger immersion feel than current games, there is no much difference from World of Warcraft. Comparing with Blade & Soul's innovation, Archeage is not good enough. In my opinion, Blade & Soul's combat system is better than Archage's.

Blade & Soul

If Blade & Soul add more unique fun in multi-player combat and improve its PvP system, it could be sure of success. In graphics and combat system, Blade & Soul will probably become a masterpiece that other games could not exceed.

Surprisingly, Team Liquid ended the day on the top of Group A with 4 points, followed by Vici Gaming and Virtus.Pro who ended with 3.

Team Secret, LGD and EHOME share the lead in Group B and they will have to play against each other tomorrow in order to secure Playoffs.

The action continues tomorrow with the remainder of Group Stage matches. Two teams will be placed in Winner’s and Loser's Bracket and one team from each group will be eliminated so make sure to follow your favorite team on the road to Playoffs.

Deck Guide - *TGT* Crypt Lord Rogue by RegisKillbin

$
0

Rogue is not in a great place these days. The only deck showing up in the meta game is Oil Rogue, leaving you with very little flexibility or creative license. If you opened an Anub'Arak and want to play your new legendary, you've probably had trouble finding  deck that includes him. So have I, and that's why I created the Crypt Lord Rogue
 
This is a totally unique take on the class, turning it into a late-game deathrattle control deck. That's definitely not the normal way to play Rogue, and it's still far from the best way. This deck won't give you the strongest win-rate or carry you to legend, but it does have potential on the ladder, and it's unparalleled when it comes to fun. This will catch absolutely everyone on the ladder off-guard, and you can do some absolutely insane things with it. 
  
General Strategy

You need to play this list like any standard control-style deck. In the early-game, you'll need to use your sticky minions, hero power weapon, and efficient removal spells to keep up on the board. If you fall too far behind, you don't have the big swing turns to recover. You absolutely need to be aggressive and do everything with a certain degree of overkill in the first few turns. 

If you do make it out of the first few turns, you'll have unbelievable options from there. Every single minion if this deck is super sticky because of all the deathrattle effects. You should always be able to keep something on the board, setting up great plays with Defender of Argus and Tinker's Sharpsword Oil. 

As you enter the late-game, just keep dropping threat after threat and pound the opponent into deathrattled submission. Look for huge plays with Kel'Thuzad, Anub'Arak, and Sneed's Old Shredder to maximize your enjoyment. 
How to Mulligan

This deck is very light on early-game, so you have to be careful you don't let the opponent snowball out of control. You'll need to desperately dig for Haunted Creepers, Backstab, and Harvest Golem. They're your best tools to stop quick swarms of enemy minions. 
It's also fine to keep Nerubian Egg, Fan of Knives, and Eviscerate. There's nothing wrong with using Eviscerate to kill a cheap minion, because you won't be able to use it later if you're dead anyway. Making good use of your hero power dagger is also important in a meta filled with 1/1 minions. 

How to Win

Unlike the average Rogue deck that relies on crazy burst damage to win, this one wins through late-game board presence. You'll be hitting them for lethal with a few giant minions or a horde of Nerubians. You may be able to squeeze out some burst with timely Tinker's Sharpsword Oils and Eviscerates, so keep those opportunities in mind too.  

Matchups
  • Control: If the game goes long, you're going to have more threats than they do. It's just important that you maximize your removal. If you don't get value out of Blade Flurry, Sap, and Eviscerate, you might still have trouble catching up. Look for big turns from Kel'Thuzad, Sylvanas, and Dr. Boom. Saving Anub'Arak as your last big bomb is usually advisable, because you want to exhaust their silences and milk him for value turn after turn without wasting the chance to play something else.  
  • Aggro: Surviving against aggro is this deck's real weakness, and the primary reason it's more about fun and experimentation than being a top-tier deck. You'll need great mulligans and timely area of effect damage to keep up. From there, getting Defender of Argus and Sludge Belcher will help you stabilize. If you do manage to stabilize, your plethora of deathrattle minions should allow you to control the board while still doing damage and finishing them off before they dig out an unexpected lethal. It's also possible to race them down from time to time, but you need the perfect curve and damage.
Card Replacements

When you're thinking about replacements to make the deck better, you can look to traditional Rogue mainstays. SI: 7 Agent is one such card that makes you better at stabilizing in the mid-game, but there are others you might find suitable. Emperor Thaurissan is another card that helps speed up this deck and allows you to pull off more dangerous high-damage combos. 
You can also add in tech cards that adjust you to better face off against the current state of the meta game. Harrison Jones counters weapon classes nicely. Kezan Mystic might help against secrets. Loatheb would be a good answer to combo decks. 

Summary

The Crypt Lord Rogue won't be causing riots as an overpowered deck. It is a fun way to play with Anub'Arak and do something completely unusual with an under-utilized class, while still winning from time to time. To me, that's more than enough reason to give it a try. 

Talent Guide - *High Damage* Blade Artanis by RegisKillbin

Artanis is out, and it's becoming clear that he's not quite cut out to be a solo tank. He's far more bruiser than tank, and might even be more assassin than bruiser! The Blade Artanis build is all about maximizing his damage potential in team fights so that you can play him as an off-tank pseudo-assassin. 

To see the talents this build uses and why it uses them, check out the video below. I break down every single talent, describe the general gameplay strategy, and consider alternate talents that you might prefer without compromising the potential of the build. 



For your convenience, you can also browse the build's talents by level below.

1Seasoned MarksmanFor every 6 enemy Minion or captured Mercenary kills near your Hero, gain 1 Basic Attack damage. Hero Takedowns count as 3 Minion kills.
4Lethal AlacrityIncreases Blade Dash range and speed by 30%.
7Follow ThroughAfter using an ability, your next Basic Attack within 6 seconds deals 40% additional damage.
10Suppression Pulse [R]Fire a large area pulse from the Spear of Adun, dealing 50 damage and Blinding enemies for 4 seconds. Unlimited range. [Cooldown: 50 Seconds]
13Triple StrikeIncreases Twin Blades's number of Basic Attacks to 3.
16Psionic WoundTwin Blades final strike causes enemy Heroes to become Vulnerable for 2 seconds, increasing all damage taken by 25%.
20Nexus BladesBasic attacks deal 20% more damage and slow the target for 1 second.

Playing Artanis like this turns you into a teleporting pair of blades, and it's absurdly and ridiculously fun. I don't think there's any other character who allows you to experience more chaotic team fights, tense moments, and outright enjoyment than this one. Blade Artanis is furious, fatal, and fast.
