Ara Haan gains new devil path in Elsword

Ara

KILL3rCombo, publisher of the hit free-to-play action MMORPG Elsword, revealed its new job path, Little Devil, for the latest character in the Elsword line-up: Ara Haan.  As the newest Elsword character, Ara Haan returns to the battlefront clad in the vestiges of her new job path Little Devil.  Empowering Ara’s high speed, burst-damage attacks with an explosive dark- magic kick, the Little Devil job path gives way to Ara’s new 2nd job, Yama Raja.

Forged in the furnace of shadows, Ara wages war against the demonic legion as Little Devil! Use the very same darkness against them that has been cast upon the nations of Elrios.  “If you can’t beat em, join em,” and then destroy them with their own wicked power.  Mastering the Secret Wolf Arts will unleash the sinister howl of a forward attack that will send demons screaming back from where they once came.

Once achieving level 35 and reining in the awesome power of darkness, players can master the evil inside with Ara’s new 2nd Job: Yama Raja.  Keep foes at bay by casting dark spirit orbs then finish them off with Secret Rakshasa Arts.  Ara conquers the ultimate power of darkness when she channels Eun, the spirit of the nine-tailed fox and together they both become truly unstoppable.

League of Angels Introduces Angelina, Guardian Angel System & Groundhog Shop!

GTArcade has been hard at work building upon its recent browser MMORPG, League of Angels. League of Angels features a unique Angel focused battle system, abundant equipment sets & upgrades, roguelike features, and an expansive storyline. But now, GTArcade is proud to announce three new additions to League of Angels!

 

League of Angels Guardian Angels

Guardian Angel System

The Guardian Angel system is a great new feature that allows Angels to protect Heroes in battle. Heroes with Guardian Angels will gain powerful buffs and bonuses in line with the strength of the Angel that is guarding them. In this way players can immensely increase the battle rating of their battle party while employing the strength of all their Angels rather than just a single one.

Guardian Angels will transfer a portion of their HP, Physical Attack, Magic Attack, Physical Defense, and Magic Defense to the Hero they are guarding. The portion of these attributes transferred depends upon a number of aspects including the Angel’s level, the color ranking of the Angel and the level of their Cherubstones. Cherubstones are a new feature introduced in conjunction with the Guardian Angel system that can be upgraded to increase the potency of buffs given to a guarded Hero.

 

 League of Angels Angelina

 New Angel – Angelina

The new Angel, Angelina, will be a powerful ally to both old and new players. Angelina can cast Royal Pain, a powerful spell that delivers a horrendous amount of magic damage to all enemies, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake. In addition to her superior starting attributes, Angelina’s Halo also gives powerful crit, attack, and HP buffs to four party members in battle, making her truly a force to be reckoned with. Now, what was that about a groundhog!?

 

League of Angels Groundhog Phil

Groundhog Phil’s Stash

A wandering groundhog named Phil has set up shops around the world! What do groundhogs love the most? Apples! Players can now exchange Apples with Phil for various rare and powerful items! The items available for sale are at Phil’s discretion, but he can be coerced to bring out rarer items for a cost! Buttering Phil up with more Apples will give the player a chance to purchase rarer and more exquisite items! By giving Phil even more Apples, the price of items can be decreased considerably. Apples can be obtained through exchanging either Diamonds or Vouchers, allowing everyone to obtain the most powerful items within Phil’s Stash!

Boss Character Development Revealed for Runescape

RuneScape

This week, the Jagex team decided to do something a little different for their weekly “Behind-the-Scenes” video, taking a deeper look and what it takes to create content for RuneScape.

Ever wondered what goes into the character development process? This week’s behind-the-scenes video sheds some light on the redevelopment of the Giant Mole Boss. This brand new update overhauls her with modern boss mechanics, two difficulty modes and a more accessible, instanced lair for both solo and group runs.

Once vanquished, the Giant Mole’s possible rewards include a clingy mole that improves anti-dragon shields, numbing roots that remove damage-over-time effects, as well as previous rewards including mole skin, mole claws and a mole nose.

The video features commentary from the art and design, audio, development and community teams at Jagex, and showcases the work involved in overhauling one of the longest-established and venerated boss monsters as they bring the creature to life.

The groundbreaking new Dramagame: Velvet Sundown from the Finnish development team Tribe Studios Ltd. will start its closed beta on Monday, February 3, 2014. The fascinating mix of social experiments and serious role-playing game elements, which will be released for both Windows PC and Mac, not only required the invention of an entirely new genre, the Dramagame engine, but will also be equipped with an innovative text-to-speech feature, the first ever in an online game of this caliber. Registration for closed beta testing can be found at http://www.velvetsundown.com/.

 
Before the adventure on the high seas begins, players are assigned one of 11 different characters all with different personalities and background stories. Each player is randomly assigned various tasks which must then be fulfilled. The special feature here is that gameplay depends on the negotiating skills of the individual players via the chat function. Players can let their imagination run free in order to convince others to follow their suggestions – thanks to the integrated text-to-speech feature, all text entries will be converted to spoken word in real-time; making the game experience incredibly immersive.
