Few rivalries are as fierce as that of the Evil Chicken and the Chocatrice, who are going head-to-crest in an Easter egg hunt most fowl. The Easter Bunny is missing – presumed dead – and the Easter eggs he left lying across RuneScape are the target of the Evil Chicken and Chocotrice’s wicked wager: to […]
This is a different exhibit but with the same  cause – INFERNO difficulty one-shots you.  Of course, people will chain rez, it is the only  way to defeat a boss when everything that  touches you, kills you. Increase repair costs five times, so that people will care about dying. We care, trust me. Now make it possible  for us to gear so that we can survive a hit.Blizzard has just announced they’ve introduced  a limit to the amount of games you can create ina certain time interval. No worry, it shouldn’t  affect anyone but the botters, right? Wrong! After getting this insightful error message: “Input limit reached. Please wait to performmore actionsâ€, many players found it  unable to play. So Blizzard reverted the measure temporarily until the technical issue is solved. However, the implication here is that a big PART of the excessive game creation is game designer’s  fault. For example, constructing the Staff of Hoardingthat gives you access to the Pony level (a.k.a. cow level),  requires ingredients that are extremely easy to collect but spawn in 10% of games or less. At level 60, I had to create no less than 30 games in Normal difficultyjust to get the merchant in the oasis to spawn. Is this  the challenge now? Beating the random number generator? People who are just starting to build their staffs will find it very difficult to find that merchant. In an extreme case, it could take a day or a week (assuming you also want to play).Instead of putting a frustrating limit, simply increase the spawn rate to 50%. It is how it is supposed to be played, if any of Blizzard’s game designers actually played the  game, instead of filling in Excel spreadsheets with spawnrates. Finally, Diablo 3′s error code 1 has been revealed to us in what seems to be a massive EU server meltdown.All servers in the EU are down without any warnings and a bit later, we’re hit with another maintenance update.
It’s a great idea and the ending of the quest was quite epic. This epic group quest right at the beginning of Guild Wars 2 makes you feel more connected to your fellow players and the world, although there is a potential drawback. I’m going to explain the traits system in Guild Wars 2 to […]
Players can get reacquainted with Rift in style with the new Ashes of History Upgrade and Collector’s Edition, available for $10 and $39.99 USD respectively. After applying the upgrade, subscribers will be able to summon Moneybags, a personal banker, ride Spindrel, a terrifying spider mount (because eight legs are better than four), and show […]

This change makes the stats more intuitive and fixes some of the itemization issues we were running into. We want to make it clear that junk items aren’t worth picking up, and make it easy to identify other items as not for your character. We want to drop a ton of items, but to really […]
I was warned that doing this story too late would be detrimental because the evidence for it would be erased by Blizzard. Given that we have a pretty big queue of stories and Diablo III is in the news regularly, I put it off only to find that by the time I got around to […]
The first server, or “realm” as Blizzard calls them, affected by the plague was Archimonde; but it is known to have spread to at least two others. The spread of the disease could have been limited by the fact that Hakkar is difficult to kill, so some realms may not yet have got round to […]
Alganon is a hit, free-to-play, fantasy MMO game featuring a massive PvE and PvP world, a deep, active community, and challenging individual and group quests. Two warring factions, the Kujix and the Asharr, have polarized the many races of Alganon, but neither has been able to achieve an advantage over the other. Now a […]
Diablo 3, while featured completely in 3D with a 3D environment, will follow closely in Diablo II’s track by using the classic isometric view, fast gameplay, and randomized content for high replayability. Some changes have been made in order to make the game more welcoming to new players, to ramp up the difficulty more […]
