Blizzard Facing Class Action Suit Over Player Data

Blizzard is facing allegations that the Battle.net Authenticator has made them millions while providing minimal security protection. The plaintiffs are seeking damages, asking that Blizzard be prevented from forcing battle.net accounts on non MMO games and finally that Blizzard not be allowed to add undisclosed costs to ensure security.

 

The Secret World Updating PvP in Issue 4


Issue 4, Big Trouble in the Big Apple is coming. And aside from nasty monster trouble in New York players can look forward to some big changes to the most popular PvP region in TSW, Funsang Projects. One of the biggest changes is that defending objectives is incentivized. This means that zerging as Fusang is currently run will be no more. There will be pvp vendors in Fusang, White Marks of Venice will be changed and there will now be cross dimension Fusang.

 

 

League of Legends Pre-Season Changes Coming


Riot Game’s Lead Designer Morello has been rallying all the big names in the dev department for League of Legends over the past week preparing their players for a huge line-up changes set to rock the foundations of the way players tackle Summoner’s Rift. With changes coming to champion itemization and build diversity, new jungle items, gold cost reworks, jungle monster reworks, and a few unforseen changes that have yet to be announced, players of old will have to relearn their tactics and adjust to a possible change in the way the game is played. Today also marks a hefty patch to bring season 2 to a close, offering rewards for competitive players that earned them while offering hefty buffs to multiple AP characters including newly released champion Elise.

EIN – Epicus Icognitus

EIN – Epicus Icognitus is set to merge the worlds of console style gaming and MMORPGs like never before. Using an advanced Cryo engine, they have created breath-taking graphics and a fluid combat system including mounted combat, puzzle-based combat, and fun action skills that will keep players on their toes. A engaging storyline told through interactive cut-scenes will also test a team’s coordination.

Arriving November 15, the update brings many new features to the game and will be highlighted by a multi-stage, one-time event that will forever change the world of Guild Wars 2.

 

 

A Mini-Expansion

Following the hugely successful multi-stage mystery of the recent Halloween event, the Lost Shores update continues ArenaNet’s tradition of delivering regular content, compelling events, and unequalled ease of access in its regular game releases, all subscription-free. The Lost Shores update is a mini-expansion worth of new content that brings players an unprecedented amount of new areas to explore, challenges to conquer and goals to achieve. This is all punctuated with a massive one-time event that will change Tyria forever.

 

 

In addition to numerous improvements and additions across the entirety of the game, major features that players can look forward to include:

A mysterious zone to explore, accessible to all players regardless of level

A challenging new dungeon to conquer

A new PvP map set within a Kodan dojo

New gear to acquire, ranging from additional weapons skins to item enhancements to an additional tier of items between Exotic and Legendary.

Crafting updates including a new resource to harvest and 200 new recipes

A one-time in-game event that will forever leave its mark on the world of Tyria, starting Friday, November 16 and ending Monday, November 19.

EverQuest II – Chains of Eternity Preview with SOE Team

EverQuest II – Chains of Eternity Preview with SOE Team

By Meredith Watson, OnRPG Journalist

 

 

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Holly Longsdale and Carlos Mora, producer and game designer respectively of EverQuest 2, for a virtual tour of Chains of Eternity. Holly narrated the tour while Carlos navigated.  Chains of Eternity for those that don’t know is the ninth expansion for EverQuest 2 since its release in November 2004.  Incidentally, they’ve just had their eighth anniversary.  Personally, I have been playing off and on since 2006 and it has always been one of my favourite titles.

 

Firiona Vie says to you, “It sounds like the Duality was on the right track, then… ugghh…”


You say to Firiona Vie, “Are… are you all right?”


Firiona Vie says to you, “I… I think so. I just feel really light headed all of a sudden. Something… something isn’t right…”


You say to Firiona Vie, “Can I get you anything?”


Firiona Vie says to you, “What… what is haaapppeeenninnnggg??? AAAARRRGGGHHHHH! Folloooowww… the… ravennnnnaaahhhhh!!”


You say to Firiona Vie, “Firiona?? FIRIONA??” -Excerpt from Unexpected Consequences


Fironia Vie, the beautiful high elf protagonist of EverQuest and EverQuest II that is featured on every box has died. Or has she? Fironia Vie is lying in state in the Greater Faydark in a new memorial which is where we started our tour.  Working with the Duality and Revanus a tear has been opened in the Feeroot to allow the inhabitants of Norrath to pass through to the realm of the dead, Ethernere.  Ethernere is the dominion of Drinal, the Silver Reaper, and is being overrun by the Harrowing Horde.

 

 

The first zone the player encounters in Chains of Eternity is Eidolon Plains, and while it resembles the Feeroot with its lush jungle vegetation and rich colours, it is clear that you are definitely not in the Feeroot. There is a chilling sound whispering through the trees reminding you that you are in the realm of the dead. The Harrowing Horde, once protectors of the realm, have seemingly gone mad and the effect is taking its toll.

 

 

The skies have turned red and the trees have eyes.

 

 

Obal Plains, the other overland zone in Chains of Eternity, will be familiar to most.  It does seem like it should be Loping Plains in spots but, again, something is not quite right. Areas within Obal Plains such as Hallow Cleft and Breathledge have been overtaken by the Harrowing Horde. Obal Plains is lusciously done in blues and purples with a gorgeous haunting soundtrack.

 

 

One of the best features of Chains of Eternity is that the signature lines will be completely solable, allowing everyone to experience the complete story. Players will also be able to get to adventure and crafting levels of 95. Guilds, too, will be able to level to 95.

 

 

Crafters will see the introduction of prestige abilities such as Experimentation which allows the crafter to add new stats to an item, Salvaging which turns items into pure resources, or Mass Production which allows the crafter to make multiples of the same item at once.

 

 

There are nine new dungeons in Chains of Eternity all with their own unique feel. For example, in Ethernere players will find the Temple of the Faceless, the Dreadcutter and Drinal Citadel (Harrow’s End). The Dreadcutter, while we didn’t get to visit it in our tour, Holly Longsdale seemed particularly excited about the ship citing the full experience of the moving sails as well as hearing the flapping of the sails, adding to the overall immersion of the area.

 

 

Outside of Ethernere there is Wyrmborne Crag which is home to the Ashlok. Wyrmborne Crag is cleverly done with even more attention to detail. Because the Ashlok are nocturnal their abilities change at night.  This is yet another example of the level of design in Chains of Eternity.  This area has a real feeling of depth not just in space (though that is quite impressive) but again in the details such as the Ashlok running and jumping on the platforms overhead, or the flags blowing in the breeze.  The zones in Chains of Eternity have a different look and feel to them than other expansions.  There is a richness of colour and fine detail that hasn’t previously been seen. Sound is also taking more of a role.

 

 

Spirit stones are a new adornment item that can be found in Chains of Eternity. Spirit stones will grow in power as they are used and may open unique passive abilities. As well as spirit stones there are level 95 weapons that drop throughout the new zones. While these Ethereal weapons are considered to be the best in game, they are also quite a rare drop.

 

 

In addition, Holly also mentioned that the platinum limitation has been removed for free players so that they may participate in the Krono market which has recently gone live.  The Player’s Studio is moving right along and the team are getting ready to put submissions in the game.

 

 

Chains of Eternity will be released on Wednesday, November 13th. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet there is still time. Just head on over to the official site http://www.everquest2.com/expansions and get your copy today.

City of Steam Closed Beta Sneak Peek: Full Steam Ahead

Full Steam Ahead

It’s been three months since anyone outside Mechanist Studios got to have a peek at City of Steam. And though Closed Beta may not start for another week, today I got to be one of the first to see all the huge changes that have been made in those three months.

I hadn’t even started making a character when I came across the first new addition. An introduction to the history and world that is City of Steam. The narrated video explains the world and the different regions that make it up before focusing on Nexus, the City of Steam. The music is by the amazingly talented Daniel Sadowski. I won’t give away too much of the details on this though, you’ll have to see for yourself on Friday.

After watching the video I made my way to character creation where I found some amazing changes which make character creation easier while adding a few things that weren’t there before. First and most obviously there were Dwarves. They won’t be available to play the first couple of closed beta weekends but it is hoped they’ll be ready later on. The first thing I noticed about them was that there weren’t any females. And why would there be? Female Dwarves? Pah! No such thing. But the Dwarves in City of Steam aren’t male either. In City of Steam Dwarves are genderless, but of course they are just so manly that they all look male, as proper Dwarves should. I also got a sneak peek at the racial clothes which even my tour guide Andrew was surprised to see. The pipes, hats and goggles which players have earned early access to with the Steam-o-meter we’re easily my favorite part to play with. Giving even more customization to your character. But the biggest new part of character creation is the Perks button. Perks are bonuses that players can unlock and apply to new characters. You can get these perks from a variety of ways, everything from getting certain classes to certain levels to inviting a certain number of friends. Now, that does mean that you won’t have perks for your first character, but it is certainly a good way to encourage people to have multiple characters. As if the huge variety of choices isn’t encouragement enough.

Once I finished rolling up my female Hobbe I entered the tutorial. During Alpha this is where you would have found yourself on board a train getting attacked. Well not anymore! After having listened to the community and alpha testers Mechanist decided to make a tutorial which better represents the game. Have no fear though, if you enjoyed the train it isn’t completely gone. And if you’re comfortable with the game, or rolling up a second or third character you can even skip the tutorial. Though that was where I discovered the next batch of changes.

The ability tree has undergone some big changes. When you select a new ability you can also add oil to it to make it better. The effects can range from doing more damage to having a new nice looking effect. Oil can be bought in the store, collected from drops or even in the Transmuter. Something new I’ll explain a little bit further on. For higher level characters looking for even more customization there is the Prestige tab of the ability tree. There you will be able to pick abilities from one of two options. Racial abilities have also been added which again gives more customization.

So that brings me to the Transmuter. The first Transmuter you come across is where the storage tank used to be in the Refuge. The storage was taken out because low level characters couldn’t use it anyway. So, what is the Transmuter? Well, think of it like a slot machine. You take a Challenge Orb (chorb) which you get from doing challenge dungeons (I’ll explain those next) click on the center of the the Transmuter screen and wait to see what you get! You have a chance to win anything from Electrum, the in game store currency, to clothes, pets, and even the steambike if you’re really lucky!

But to use the Transmuter you need chorbs. How do you get them? Completing challenge dungeons. These aren’t regular dungeons. They’re timed instances in which you have to complete tasks like smashing boxes or opening chests. Successful completion earns you chorbs which you can then use in the Transmuter for sweet loot. I only ran one during my tour but I could tell right away that I would be addicted to them.

Have I mentioned I got to ride a steambike? No? Well…I got to ride a steambike. Never in my life have I felt like more of a badass than when my lady Hobbe posed on her bike. The bike is upgradeable to do things like make it faster. Oh and you don’t have to worry about finding wide spots in the road to turn around. These babies turn better than they would if you got off and picked it up yourself. Look at me, I’m on a bike.

With only a week left until the first Closed Beta weekend the excitement is really starting to kick up. If you want to take part in Closed Beta the only way to absolutely guarantee a place is to buy a collaborator pack. Otherwise you can subscribe to the newsletter which gives biweekly updates on the status of the game. A huge thank you to Andrew for taking the time to give me a special tour after working a 16 hour day.

Shotgun News 11/5-9 Week in Review: WoW, GW2, World of Tanks, and much more!

We’ve had a busy week here at OnRPG, so much so that the news has been somewhat neglected. But have no fear, I am back and ready with the major news highlights from the MMO universe.

WoW Cinder Kitten Sales Benefit Hurricane Sandy Relief

Well known for helping out disaster relief with the sale of pets World of Warcraft is at it again. This time to help out victims of Hurricane Sandy some of whom have now been without power for 11 days. The adorable Cinder Kitten pet is going to be available for purchase in the coming weeks for $10 and 100% of that going towards the Red Cross.

District 187: Sin Streets Launch Announced

After months of beta testing CJ Games Global is pleased to announce that their free to play first person shooter District 187: Sin Streets will officially launch on November 20. With it will be released the never before seen Street Fight. A competitive team vs team feature which allows players to form clans and battle for control over territory. Players can register for a special beta to get a sneak peek at Street Fight before it goes live with the launch of District 187.

Chinese Tanks Incoming

Now that I have your attention, I should tell you that the Chinese are coming to World of Tanks. In update 8.2 China will join The US, Germany, Soviet Union, France and Britain in the World of Tanks battlefield. There will be 17 new armored vehicles while the tech tree is composed of modifications to already existing combat machines. It will also include a number of Chinese made tanks which never went into mass production. Check them out in the video below.

 

BioWare Mythic Becomes Mythic, Again

First it was Mythic Entertainment then it became EA Mythic after being purchased by EA. Then they went back to being Mythic Entertainment for a while before becoming BioWare Mythic. Confusing? I’d say so. Especially when you consider that all of these changes happened in the last six years. Well, here is another one for you. BioWare Mythic is now just Mythic.

Guild Wars 2 Announces November Event Dates

Something is stirring in the Sea of Sorrows, or at least that’s what they say. The Lost Shore event details have been released, spoiler free. On Friday November 16 at noon PST the weekend of events will kick off in Lion’s Arch with something that is not to be missed. It will also trigger events all across Tyria. The next phase of events will kick in at the same time the following day and end with a big finale on Sunday which will be a one time only event chain running several hours.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Announces Free to Play Date

Star Wars fans have been waiting months to hear when SWTOR would go free to play after the initial announcement was made. We now finally know that date is November 15. A page has been set up to help players work out what rewards they will be receiving once free to play begins.

Check back again tomorrow for a special edition of Shotgun News which will feature over a half an hour of videos from MechWarrior, Elder Scrolls Online, and much more.

DK Online RvR Dev Blog

Hi Dragon Knights,

Today we shed light on the Realm vs. Realm PvP battles in DK Online. RvR is a cornerstone of the large-scale PvP options in the game (together with Castle Siege, the guild battle royale for control of a valuable castle). While Castle Siege is intended for organized PvP-focused guilds to have the ultimate challenge against like-minded guilds, we know that not everyone can be a part of those guilds but may still want to experience massive PvP battles. That’s where RvR comes in.

 

DK Online Realm vs. Realm

 

 

RvR begins with your faction choice. You can ally yourself with Eos or Dione (the two goddesses in the lore), and you’ll play for that side when the RvR battle takes place. There is a central outdoor area with a large beacon on the world map, and it’s here that the factions collide. When RvR is active, you’ll see a bar representing control of the beacon when you’re in the area. Whichever side has more living players in the area will gradually swing control of the bar toward their side.

 

 

DK Online PvP

 

 

As you can imagine, one side wins when the bar fills up completely. Winning RvR grants an experience and regen buff for all players associated with that faction worldwide—including those that weren’t present for the battle! This buff will be highly sought after, because RvR doesn’t happen that often (the exact frequency is yet to be determined, but it will always be at predetermined times so that players can plan on being there).

 

Thanks for reading, and keep an eye and ear open for big closed beta news very soon!

 

GSTAR 2012 Day 1 Recap w/ Cosplay!

GSTAR 2012 Day 1 Recap w/ Cosplay!

By Darren Henderson (DizzyPW), OnRPG Editor-in-Chief

 

One more thing… Jackie Chan is a huge celebrity in Busan!

 

GSTAR can only be described as overwhelming. Take PAX. Now put it in a venue 3x larger than the Seattle Convention Center. Now add in a miniature E3 in the right wing building and a small ESports convention in the left wing building. Sprinkle in oh around 300 cosplay girls and blow Korea writing all over every inch of wall space possible. Add in constant events and giveaways, loud localized music specific to each booth, and an unholy army of Korean press boxing in around each cosplayer on the showroom floor. This is GSTAR, the convention I’ve fought the last 3 years of my career to finally get to attend.

 

I went in on day 1 with only two goals. Get all the cosplay pics out of the way while scouting the floor, and get hands-on time with Neowiz’s upcoming MMO set to blaze their names into the minds of western gamers the world over, Bless. Everything about the show was incredible. Before I even entered the main building I was greeted by Wargaming’s world renowned tank + cosplayer combo which was smack in the middle of a swap meet of WeMade, Nexon, and other companies I had never seen before shouting at passing attendees trying to get them in to try upcoming titles. I resisted the temptation and rushed into the main building to be greeted at the entrance by an overly enthusiastic gerbil. At this point I realized Anime is an accurate portrayal of Asian culture.

 

 

 

 

Of course Wargaming had prime positioning both in and out of the hall as their booth towered to the sky and was carried one of the longest lines of entry of any booth at the show. I passed by gaping at the incredible machinery and the players enthralled in their matches as a beautiful shoutcaster called out the play by play events in typical frantic Korean shoutcasting style.

 


To my left a brood of Korean journalists parted to reveal two bunny girls that seemed to have nothing to do with the title they were promoting. Not that I’m complaining.

 

 

 

I made my way to the back and breathless as the a movie theatre sized screen played out a animated manga comic to the left of the Neowiz booth.

 

 

The Neowiz booth itself stood above all others as a two story tall mesa. On the lower levels girls ushered an endless line of players in to test out the various content and regions of the game. Up above in the control center VIP presentations were carried out on unbelievable 3 screenwide game stations each accompanied by 2 developers to guide press through the ins and outs of the game. Keep an eye out for an MMOHuts style First Look and OnRPG Early Access article in the near future as there’s just no way to describe everything about this game without dedicating an entire feature to it. But in the meantime drool at their latest combat trailer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the right of the Neowiz booth stood the equally impressive WeMade booth that stretched across the isle and took over an entire corner of the room. Those that remember our E3 coverage will be happy to hear that their 13 and growing iOS line-up of multiplayer online games are progressing smoothly and we should start to see many of them going live in 2013. In particular two of their titles really excited me.  First was Touch Fighter, a Street Fighter-esque game that is controlled entirely with on-screen touch controls.

 

 

 

The second being Heroes League, Realm of the Gods, a MOBA that not only looks and plays great, but has the gusto to rip off elements of the names of 3 of the largest MOBAs on the market currently.

 

 

 

 

 


Though I didn’t get a very long look at it on day 1 due to how strapped for time I was, WeMade’s signature title that they are advertising all over the convention center is Icarus. The faces of the players engaging in this title were magical and I will be going out of my way to ensure I play this game during day 2!

 

Other notable titles from devs you may not recognize included Asta – The War of Tears and Wind, Dungeon Striker, A-team (think an FPS built around Zero-Suit Samus) and a particularly interesting game called KingZ Online that is attempting to merge classic MMORPG elements with the strategic basis for browser based empire games. Essentially players become pawns in the larger scheme of empire building with a deep and well refined economic system that makes crafting far more valuable than in your typical MMORPG. I’ll be sure to do a full write-up on KingZ soon!

 

 

 

 

 

After making me rounds on the right side of the convention hall I turned back and made my way to the Blizzard corner. While I would have liked to get some coverage of Starcraft Heart of the Swarm, the below shot is as close as I could get with 8x zoom on my camera. I kid you not there were fans sitting on the floor stretching back 80 feet from the monitor in all directions, creating the largest roadblock in the entire convention.

 

 

 

After kicking my way through the zerglings I took a gander at the left wall, not surprisingly entirely owned by Nexon. Titles on display this year include Warface…

 

 

Mabinogi II Arena

 

And Fifa Online 3 (be interesting if we ever see this one stateside)

 


I made note to check Nexon out in the business center the following day as the lines to get access to any of their titles made Disneyland lines look tame.

 

With a few minutes left before the show closing I went into a mad sprint looking for the weird and bizarre. I close out my day 1 recap with just that…

 

3D glasses + mechanical rollercoaster + drunk Korean gamers = Epic Win

 

Tabletop Games are alive and well in Korea

 

The esports room was literally bustling with activity from open to close and they didn’t even have any major tournaments going on.

 

 

Rockem Sockem Robots in Asia taunt their opponents and dance when victorious. Why do we not have these in America damn it?!

 

 

 

A new dev company called Havok has an incredible looking tactical RPG that any JRPG fan would be thrilled to get their hands on.

 

Punch Hero looks to be the long awaited online answer to Nintendo’s ever popular Punch-Out Series.

 

Special thanks to San Disk for providing the memory storage to allow me to take pictures of the San Disk girl.
