LGD and CDEC Gaming denied visas to Frankfurt

0
0


According to a some reports on social media, both LGD Gaming and CDEC Gaming have been denied visas to attend the Frankfurt Major. The DotA 2 community has been riddled with visa issues, particularly for Chinese teams wanting to attend LANs in the USA and Europe. Usually it takes multiple attempts for teams to gain the correct work permits in order to compete at international events.
 

There has been very little precedent set in obtaining visas for DotA 2 teams, as both LGD and CDEC have competed at multiple LANs outside of China in the past year. Most notably, both were present at The International 5, with CDEC actually being the runners-up in the Grand Finals.

Both were also moe recently at MLG New Orleans, which suggests their should be no real reason for them to be denied visas, espescially if Valve steps in to help them. In the run up to most past Internationals there have been plenty of visas issues, often just taking multiple applications to go through.

Hopefully, LGD and CDEC will be able to attend the Frankfurt Major smoothly and represent their country, as opposed to Invictus Gaming who recently announced they would not make it.

Overview of Star Trek: Alien Domain

Star Trek: Alien Domain is an officially-licensed, free-to-play multiplayer online strategy game, playable via your browser and now in Open Beta.
Taking place many years after the events of Star Trek: Voyager™, Star Trek: Alien Domain™ follows players as they take on the role of a Federation or Klingon captain trapped in the unexplored realm of fluidic space. Players will face a variety of threats - including Species 8472 - encounter new hostile creatures and species, and be forced to contend with a war that has erupted between the trapped Klingon and Federation forces.
Now entering open beta, the game has undergone numerous updates since the previous closed beta tests began, including major new additions such as an equipment system for starships, a boss battle mode, and a stage trials mode where players can compete to conquer as many stages as possible before being defeated. Several other new gameplay features are scheduled to be released in the near future, including a new large scale PvP mode, and further enhancements to the equipment system.

The #1 Casual Mobile Game of 2015

0
0

It’s impossible to say, one game is #1. It’s even harder to give that title to a mobile game, since it feels like a game or two is popping out everyday. So what I did was take the accumulated downloads from the Apple and Google store, and averaged them against the past 4 months of social media hashtags. The list was over 100, so I divided them into three categories:

(Action - Casual - Strategy) and matched them against each other. This gave me a definitive list of 10 games in these categories based on #Trends, Downloads, Social Media, Tournaments, Genre, and Popularity.

ActionCasualStrategy From this list, I matched it against this year reddit submissions (gamers only use reddit), and found the #1 game.

Coming in with First Place, with over 10 million downloads… Fallout Shelter
 
 
 


After finding out the news, I immediately downloaded the game. I did remember seeing a lot of reddit posts of random things happening on Fallout Shelter. Bethesda does have a large following, and a strong brand - I’ve played Fallout since the first, and seeing a Casual Sim Fallout didn’t sound like my cup of tea. The game starts out smoothly, taking you into Fallout’s old fashioned steam punk feel. Teaching you basics like all games do, I found myself out of tutorial within a few minutes and playing the game. But what to do next?
 
 
 

Collecting Caps* is Fallout Shelter’s form of revenue, and main goal in the game. With Caps you can upgrade and purchase new rooms for you vault, which is required for having more residents, and new technology. Every now and again natural disasters occur, having you to fend off Raiders, or Rad Roaches. If not dealt with properly they will kill your residents, along with other disasters mixed into dealing with the supply needs of your vault community. I didn’t fall in love with the game until I started to rename everyone. Making that connection to your vault dwellers was the single most important move I made. I found myself giving the people actual jobs based on their talents, and sharing my experiences with friends because I gave my dwellers their names.
 


Although as of now, there is no multiplayer option. This is why I placed this game under Casual, instead of Strategy. If Bethesda were to give us a vault raiding option, I could see this game staying on top for a long time to come. If you are a gamer that’s looking for a game to play in between Hearthstone matches, or waiting in queue for your MOBA, then this is the game for you. It’s easy to play, no time consumption, and no grinding. Give it a try, and start naming your characters if you have tried the game already and didn’t like it. I guarantee that little change, will make the game so much more hilarious and entertaining.
 


Stay tuned for the #1 Strategy, and Action game coming soon! -MFGLife

Tencent's New Mysterious Title Will Probably Be The Hyped Lost Ark

November is undoubtedly a busy month for many game companies. Blizzcon was just concluded and soon we'll have Tencent Games Carnival (TGC 2015) from November 13 - 15, one of the largest game carnivals in China and at the same time Korean's biggest game convention G-star from Nov 12 - 15.

Speaking of TGC, Tencent, being one of China's largest game companies, will announce new game titles for sure and the two most likely games we were speculating were Lost Ark and Lineage Eternal. However, with the revealing of the teaser game website, the new title should probably be the highly-anticipated Lost Ark based on the character sketch showing in the website.



We can't see the front face of the character but if you've ever visited Lost Ark's Korean website, it's not hard to tell that character is exactly the one from Lost Ark Korean game website. There's no other info on the teaser website but no worries, we can expect to see more info on November 14th as Tencent will finally debut it at TGC 2015.

Developed by Cross Fire developer Smilegate, Lost Ark is a Diablo style hack & slash MMORPG and was debuted at G-star 2014. Since the announcement, both medias and players all speak highly of Lost Ark. Will Tencent announce a beta date for the game? Let's hope so!

Learn to Play - *TGT* Budget Aggro Warlock by RegisKillbin

For experienced players, seeing a deck list is often enough to understand a deck's goals and general strategy. But newer players might need to see a deck in action to really get the hang of it. To help you make sense of the TGT Budget Aggro Warlock that I recently covered, I've put together a gameplay video showcasing my tactics and decisions. 

Watch me win a few games (and lose one) in the video below to see some creative lines of play and unusual thoughtful decisions that sets up tough victories. Even though it's a budget deck that seems simple, it still requires confident plays and a lot of foresight. 



If you need a convenient look at the cards in this deck, here's a handy visual list. 



I'm consistently surprised by the things budget decks like this can accomplish with smart gameplay, patience, and practice. So don't be afraid to tackle the game's most challenging decks with this extremely affordable deck. You might not play it all the way to legend, but you can certainly start climbing your way up the ladder. 


 

This Guy Spent $30,000 on Star Citizen, Got Basically Everything in the Game

Star Citizen is known for its bulky content, huge funds from the community, and crazy details. Now the game is also known for having super enthusiastic fan, a gamer named Chris (in-game id Ozy311) who has spent $30,000 on the game. Now he owns everything available to obtain in the game.

Chris (aka Ozy311) and Chris Roberts (project lead of Star Citizen) at PAX South 2014


Chris didn't spend the entire $30,000 at a time, instead, he start out buying some of this and some of that until he saw the product becoming mature. He purchased the most expensive package for $15,000. What impressed me was he didn't use his credit card or loans to buy stuff in the game. He had been doing some work on the side to cover the expense. Though I don't know what exactly he did to earn the money, I think this is a good example of spending money wisely in video game.
 
While there were some doubts before thinking Star Citizen cost too much and won't work out, the game moved forward each day. Now Star Citizen has signed with Hollywood famed actors and actresses including Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, and Mark Hamill for a live action movie for the campaign mode.

‘Nords: Heroes of the North’ Game Guide

0
0


Here are the game guide of ‘Nords: Heroes of the North’.

Stronghold
 

You have been tasked with assembling an army consisting of Dragons, Orcs, Elves, and Northmen to fight alongside King Björn the Awesome against the evil Ice Queen and her Cold Legions! Your Stronghold will be your source of wealth and Resources, the heart of your army and the central point of your ever-growing domain.

Your job as Lord Marshal is to build and command your army, grow your Stronghold, and protect it from the Cold Legions. On your journey you will have to challenge rival Strongholds and fight to claim your place in the annals of Shingård!

Only through clever diplomacy, Resource trading, and the forming of Alliances with other Lord Marshals will you leave your mark! The choices you make, Lord Marshal, will determine your chances of success!


Blood Pacts
 

Singing Blood Pacts will pay off by increasing your strength as an army and your ability to stand up to the Ice Queen. It will also allow you to train new types of Units, gain abilities, and even construct new Buildings. Update Blood Pacts to increase the statistics of Units and Buildings.
 
 
Resources
 

If you wish to come out on top in the battle against the Ice Queen, you must learn to manage your three main Resources – Fish, Mushrooms, and Fire Ale. To increase your Resource production, you will need to construct Fisherman’s Huts, Mushroom Patches, and Fire Ale Breweries.

These will help provide the people of your Stronghold – and the warriors in your army – with everything they need to survive and grow. Your Fish and Mushrooms will be stored in Storehouses within your Stronghold, and the Fire Ale you produce will be stored in Alehouses.

All of your Units will require a certain amount of Fire Ale per hour in upkeep costs. Build and Upgrade your Fire Ale Breweries to increase the amount of Fire Ale produced each hour. Remember, the total amount of Fire Ale that can be kept in your Stronghold is limited by the capacity of your Alehouses, so do not forget to continuously Upgrade them to increase their storage.

A wise Lord Marshal knows better than to rely solely on the Resource production of their own Stronghold and citizens, but will instead use their army to retrieve the necessary Resources. You will also need to master the art of Trade if you wish to maximize the efficiency of your Stronghold – Trade your surplus Resources with your Clanmates to ensure you always have enough to sustain your Stronghold!

Strategy
 

Simply having a large army is not enough to win the war against the Ice Queen – you will need to be a master of the strategic arts if you wish to stand a chance against her and her Cold Legions! Join a Clan or create and develop your own to fight alongside other Lord Marshals, occupy other Strongholds, and increase your control over Shingård! Fight together and cooperate with other Lord Marshals to defeat rival Clans, gain fame, and enjoy the spoils of battle.

By creating your own Clan and assisting other Lord Marshals, you can supply Resources and even Reinforcements to each other in times of need. To succeed and overcome the Cold Legions, it is going to take a joint effort! You’ll need to work together and master battle strategy if you have any hope of victory – be warned, no Lord Marshal can survive alone!

Tree of Savior: Korean Open Beta Is Coming in December

0
0
Right ahead of G-star 2015, Korean's biggest game convention from November 12 to 15, someone has got a leaked poster around the exhibition area which shows Tree of Savior is going to enter open beta in Korea somewhere next month.



Players in Reddit had a discussion about whether it is good or not to have KR open beta in December and then for sure we saw two completely different opinions below:
 

               I consider it good. Nexon is probably pushing them to move it faster in the Korean market. So they'll get to perform all the balance checks and what not. By the time it reaches us and we actually get it, hopefully it'll be a bit more balanced/fleshed out.    -  zazabar

 

            
             Bad news. Definitely. This game isn't ready for an Open Beta yet, even though it is "only Korea" (sure..) At least the game isn't ready for release any time soon. I have a really bad feeling about this. - Fira_Wolf

Tree of Savior is having the 2nd English closed beta now and it will last for around a month. So what do you think about the news? Take a vote and let us know your opinion in the comment below.

Talent Guide - *Top Build* Ultimate Anub'Arak by RegisKillbin

Anub'Arak isn't the top-meta hero that he once was, but he's still a powerful bruiser who can do a lot of different things well. If you're looking for the very best build to play Anub'Arak and his beetle-bros well, then look no further! 

In the talent guide video below, I cover the Ultimate Anub'Arak build in detail. Talents and the tactics behind them are discussed, along with general gameplay tips and observations. By the time you make it through this guide, you'll have a much stronger understanding of Anub'Arak and his bruiser beetle build, and be able to play it successfully. 



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

1Assault ScarabIncreases the attack damage of spawned Beetles by 25%.
4Legion of BeetlesAnub'arak automatically spawns Beetles every 8 seconds. Can be toggled on and off.
7Leeching ScarabsBeetles heal Anub'arak for 50% of their damage with each attack if he is nearby.

20Hive MasterAnub'arak gains a permanent Vampire Locust that attacks a nearby enemy every 3 seconds. The Vampire Locust deals 16 damage and returns to heal Anub'arak for 20 health.

Anub'Arak is one of the more enjoyable heroes in the game because of all the disruption and chaos he can cause. He has multiple stuns, lots of area of effect damage, and a surprising level of survivability. I wish he was more popular, because he's a fun hero that's better than most people think!  
 

Deck Guide - *TGT* Budget Control Warrior by RegisKillbin

0
0


The words "budget" and "warrior" don't usually go together in the world of Hearthstone. Most Warrior decks require tons of legendary cards, and therefore require loads of arcane dust to assemble. If you've been aching to play warrior, but feel like you lack the cards, don't give up hope just yet! This deck might be the answer to your prayers! 

For only 600 arcane dust, I have put together a reasonably strong control-style warrior deck. Although it lacks in legendaries, its powerful value minions and sturdy late-game bodies are still strong for beginners. The video below goes into detail for each and every card, along with strategies for mulligans and card upgrades. 



Now that you've got an idea how the deck works, here's a handy deck list to help you build it yourself.



You can use this super budget deck to climb towards rank 15 on the ladder, and maybe even higher if you're patient and dedicated! As you collect new cards and continue to upgrade it, you should be able to take the TGT Budget Control Warrior even higher. Get out there and armor your way to victory!
