Diablo III Sytle MMOARPG Project Blue(CN) Debuts

It seemed that action genre game became a heated MMO genre in recent years. There are too many action MMOs flooding the market, but also a lot of denouncements such as fake action, fake non-targeting and others. Today, I would love to recommend you an action MMO Project Blue that breaks the above awkwardness. Its UI is similar to Diablo 3, but the combat is kungfu-style.

How did Project Blue break these awkwardness?

1. Adopting non-targeting combat
Project Blue manage to reach combat mode in traditional console game. The rhythm of combat is fast-paced, smooth. It has complete action elements and is full of beating feeling.

2. Open world, PK freely
Most of action MMO's combat starts in a certain map, but it will start in an open world in Project Blue. Merging combat system and open world together, Project Blue makes some adjustments in quest, dungeon and PvP system.

3. Simple but complicated
Project Blue lowers the threshold for newbie. However, as many as 32 backup skills make the variety of changes. In addition, the other abilities provided by system such as talent and equipment will make the game even more interesting.

4. Differentiating from oriental style and western fantasy style in most of current games, Project Blue adapts Japanese fantasy style and merges multi-cultures.

Delia is a warrior style melee character and she wear heavy armor and wields a greatsword.

Riot Games has just been chosen as No. 18 best place to work in North American in 2015, which is the only video game company on this list. As the company that owns the most popular game around the world, Riot Games has moved their headquarters from Santa Monica to a new and much bigger location at the edge of West Los Angeles. During the League of Legends all-star event, Taiwanese gaming website GNN was invited to visit Riot office and posted many pictures of this fabulous office. Let’s take a look.



When you’re approaching the Riot Games’ headquarter, you can see a giant ‘Riot’ Logo, and on the back of the logo it’s ‘Rito’. Since League of Legends players can’t type “Riot”in game, they use the word ‘Rito’ to replace it when pissed at Riot. This is a great company culture to encourage employees to always keep players thoughts in mind.




 
 



Upon entering, visitors are greeted with screens displaying player-created art and cosplay, a reminder of the talented and engaged community that brings League and Riot to life. Annie and Tibbers stand guard just past reception. On the wall, you can see how Rioters meet the requirements of the League of Legends fans.



 










 
 

Next is the official office area. Research lab, meeting rooms and common spaces usually buzz with conversation, debate, and excited post-game chatter, so a mix of open and private spaces allows Rioters to work the way they want. The meeting rooms are named by different champions.




 

Bilgewater Brew’s a unique themed space for Rioters to hang out, meet, and grab some coffee or food. Besides, there are also Internet bar, Korean-style PC bang and arcade game’s room in which Rioters can play League of Legends and other classic games.

Jeff Kaplan Overwatch Interview: Progression System Coming When Beta Returns

Blizzard’s team-based shooter Overwatch has just ended its first alpha beta on December 10, and Blizzard confirmed that all future heroes and maps will be introduced as free updates. EuroGamer had a chance to sit down with Overwatch Game Director, Jeff Kaplan to discuss monetization, player rankings, and progression systems. Here is a recap of the interview, and you can check out the full interview here.

Beta Break

  • Jeff is excited to bring beta back up next year along with all the changes they've made thanks to player feedback or data collection.
  • The break is going to be one and a half to two months. Aim is currently late January, but they will hold it off a week or two if needed.
Progression System

  • We will have a progression system in place when beta returns.
  • Overwatch has had two different progression systems in the past that were scrapped.
  • They do not want the progression system to be a burden to players, that tells you how to play.
  • No player power through progression - purely cosmetic.
  • People have responded well to skins, they're going to look at more customization like that for the system.
  • More based on time investment rather than skill, but with proper balance, skilled players will be able to progress faster.
Beta

  • Very happy with the way it has progressed so far.
  • The stress test went super well. They tried to destroy their infrastructure by ripping servers out and simulate crashing / harware failures, but almost couldn't get the service to not perform well.
  • The last Beta Jeff worked on was for Wrath of the Lich King, which was before the current "age of streamers". It helped them see how other people perceived the game.
  • Jeff isn't sure if they are going to do another stress test weekend.
  • There will be at least one more wave of beta invites.
Monetization

  • They're quite happy the news of future additions being free updates was received well.
  • By doing this, the business model is easy to understand for everyone and  they hope people will focus more on the game itself.
  • At BlizzCon they were unable to talk about future content release models as it wasn't yet solidified. They wanted to get it clarified ASAP after all the confusion and feedback from the community.
  • They have not yet decided on additional ways to monetize the game post launch yet, all they're worrying about is launching the game and making it fun.
Bug Fixes & Ranked

  • They've fixed an issue with reload animations - the animation finishes when your reload is finished.
  • Ranked is something they are pushing hard to get into the game, but if it isn't ready for launch, they don't have any issues delaying it for a patch soon after.
  • How a ranked ladder would work in Overwatch is currently not fully fleshed out.
  • Six person groups are what they're looking at currently for Ranked.
  • They don't want to do solo queue ranked if it's just going to end up being toxic - it needs to be accurate, healthy, and mean something.

Tencent Games will launch a new round of closed beta for warfare MMORPG Iron Knight in China. An anticipated new feature Legion Wars will be implemented, allowing players to form a legion to conquer other players' cities and unite the kingdom. Legions in the same kingdom can unite and start war against other kingdoms.
 
Iron Knight is similar to Kingdom Under Fire 2, where you take control of a champion and also lead a small group of AI soldiers. Legion in this game is similar to guild in other MMORPGs.
 
Legion Wars include 3 different modes: battle for the throne, battle for resources, and kingdom vs. kingdom.


 
Battle for the throne 
To get the opportunity to claim the throne, a legion must prove itself in "battle for resource" mode and control enough resources. Legions then have to bid for the opportunity to fight for the throne and two winners in the bidding process will battle against each other the next day. The final winning legion becomes royal legion and the commander player becomes protector of the kingdom.
 
Battle for resources
This mode is where a legion can grow more and more powerful and get rewards. Legions that are not in the throne battle or controlling of a city can participate in this mode.
 
Kingdom vs. kingdom 
Any player that belongs to the kingdom can participate in individual or in group. The game will match players from two different kingdoms for the battle. Rewards will be given based on battle result.

League of Legends All-Star Event has just met its end in Los Angeles, California, and Taiwanese website GNN had a chance to sit down with the lead game designer for Riot games, Greg Street to discuss the upcoming champions and future update plan. Here is a recap of the interview.

>>>Check out more pictures of League of Legends All-Star Event



Q: The new champion Ao Shin was on hold after the initial exposure to us. Have the design problems been solved? When could we see this champion in game?

Greg Street: We have already started the development plan of Ao Shin, but we are still facing some problems. It a long storm dragon, and it still a way off, and that's apparently still the case. We aren't saying it won’t come out forever, but not in the near future.



Q: There are around 130 champions in League of Legends. Will Riot slow down the pace of releasing new champions? Is there a limit for the number of champion? Will Riot remove some older champions?



Greg Street: We don’t think we will remove our existing champions. Since last year, we have slowed down the pace of releasing new champions. This year there are only 5-6 heroes come to League of Legends. I don’t think the champions will reach 200 in the near future. Maybe this day would come, but the existing number of champion will be much more than today’s.

Q: How many champions do you expect Riot will release every year? Could you reveal some information about the next champion?

Greg Street: Personally, I like the number 8. If we can release 8 new champions every year, it will be a good stuff for both Riot and players. However, we don’t want to release new champion every two weeks, since it’s kind of overloaded. The next Champion is a male character that we have never mentioned before, and I think you guys will be crazy about him.

Monster Hunter Online will start open beta in China later this week (how to register & download) and today the game confirms more new features will be implemented in the OBT version.
 
We've talked about new weapon Hunting Horn and 3 new monsters at last preview and you can read it here.
 

 
Today we talk about several other new gameplay features: monster size variation, and prewritten message, and new leaderboards.
 
Monster size variation
 
This feature is actually an iconic feature in Monster Hunter series. A monster can be varied in different size, which affects your hunting strategy. In MHO, you can expect a different size each time you hunt the same monster, giving you much fun and challenge in the hunting experience.
 


Prewritten message
 
This is another classic element in the series. In MHO you can create messages that will be automatically sent to your teammates under certain combat circumstances. For instance, if you have created a notification of getting poison debuff, the message will be automatically delivered to the teammates when you have that debuff.


 
New leaderboards
 
With the addition of 2 new elite hunting modes ("王立委托" and "王立精英") that are unlocked at level 40, the leaderboards have been updated so players can view the ranks of elite hunting modes.
