Fairytale Distillery, a German indie game developer, today announced to open their upcoming online game Das Tal for a special alpha test on February 8^th. Players simply have to sign up for the game in order to participate. The beautiful and unique mix between MOBA and MMO can be played for free during this 24 hour test.

Das Tal (German for “the valley”) is a unique persistent PvP multiplayer game, a mixture between MOBA and MMO, if you will. It throws the players into a dark fantasy prison world where they have only weeks to grow strong and build up their clan’s settlements before facing the final challenge of escaping the valley. Each server hosts hundreds of players with the same goal – will they be allies or enemies?

The game features:

• ✓ a skill based combat system that merges qualities of MOBA and MMO systems
• ✓ timeboxed servers, each world ends after a few months with the players escaping
• ✓ hand-drawn art assets in 2D and 3D
• ✓ unique systems to have players influence the rules of the worlds

The game is all about giving players control: It does away with the tedious grind of MMOs, with tab targeting and with spells affecting only friends. It requires some skill at combat but rewards players with unique experiences. Server settings and game rules can be influenced by the players.

Alex Zacherl, Founder of Fairytale Distillery, says: “ We’re aiming to create a game with a focus on exciting gameplay and meaningful interaction with fellow players, rather than just hundreds of hours sunk into grinding out items and levels.“ David Wells, Head of Communications, adds: “A main point is PvP which in most MMOs is about having better equipment and higher level – in Das Tal player skill will play a decisive role.“

NCSOFT® and ArenaNet™,  publisher and developer of the acclaimed Guild Wars franchise, have today released details about two of the most exciting new features in Guild Wars 2’ s upcoming expansion, Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns.  The studio is inviting fans to learn more about the Masteries system, its new vision for endgame progression in an MMO, and journey deeper into the Heart of Maguuma jungle, the new  environment that serves as the main setting in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns.  ArenaNet today published two blog posts detailing what each new feature will bring to players with the expansion. It also set the stage for the first glimpse at live gameplay  on the ‘Points of Interest’ livestream. The livestream is scheduled for  this Friday, February 6 at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel (www.twitch.tv/guildwars2).

The Heart of Maguuma
Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns picks up where Season 2 left off, with players journeying deeper into the Heart of Maguuma to find out what happened to the pact fleet. The jungle environment, composed of three biomes, brings an element of verticality that directly influences the gameplay. Players will need to learn new masteries like hang-gliding and mushroom jumping to traverse different levels in the jungle.

One of the first maps players will experience within the deep jungle will feature survivors from the Pact Fleet who spend the daytime fortifying and repairing their positions. When nighttime rolls around, however, the map will enter a secondary phase in which the Mordrem masses attempt to overwhelm the Pact defenders. Assisting outposts like these will be vital in the dynamic environment, as they can be leveled up and will be essential in preparing for secondary phases of new areas. A new adventure system will provide challenges for players to earn high scores in nearly any activity, minigame or challenge imaginable in the game world.

The Mastery System
Players left wondering what is next for their maxed out characters will be pleased to hear about Heart of Thorns’ new mastery system, a progression system that respects players’s time and effort by allowing them to grow their level 80 characters in new ways. Masteries grant meaningful powers to characters, like the ability to hang glide or jump on mushrooms to traverse the Heart of Maguuma faster and get to previously unreachable areas. Specific masteries will be earned from experience gained in PvE regions that are tied to those skills. Masteries will be leveled up on separate tracks, allowing for multiple tiers and simultaneous progression on multiple masteries.

Masteries must first be unlocked with Mastery points, which are gained from tasks like completing a chapter in a character’s story, completing achievements, finding secret locations, defeating difficult enemies, performing well in the new adventure system and earning 100 percent completion in maps. New characters can accumulate mastery points, but the points cannot be spent until a character hits level 80. Furthermore, Masteries will bring new benefits to all of the characters in a player’s account. The mastery system was designed to expand players abilities without invalidating past achievements and to grow their characters while focusing on gameplay instead of grinding for new gear.

First Live Gameplay
Players interested in seeing the first live gameplay of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns should tune in to the official Guild Wars 2 livestream show, ‘Points of Interest’, this Friday, February 6 from 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) on www.twitch.tv/guildwars2.  Join host Rubi Bayer and expansion content designers Anthony Ordon and Steve Hwang as they journey into the Heart of Maguuma and discuss the new mastery system. Popular streamers Richie ‘Bog Otter’ Procopio and Aurora Peachy will also be livestreaming their own special Guild Wars  2 programming before and after ‘Points of Interest’, with the pre-show starting at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT) on the Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel.

ArenaNet surprised fans around the world by unveiling Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns in a livestreamed event at PAX South on January 24.  For the latest updates and to learn more about this first expansion to Guild Wars 2 please visit http://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/.

My.com as just revealed a new area for their upcoming MMORPG SkyForge called Alakur Island. Alakur was once home to one of the most beautiful temples of Ianna. Citizens from all across Aelion traveled to the island to honor their patron goddess. At the temple, they left their offerings at the feet of the statue of their goddess, sang songs and offered up prayers. To this day, the statue still stands by the sea, but the temple itself lies in ruins: thanks to the carnivorous Phytonides who’ve seized the surrounding land and flooded the island.

These Phytonides are amazing creatures left over from early invasions of Aelion. From what scientists have been able to determine, the Phytonides are capable of controlling a wide range of large and small plants. Wherever they settle, the area soon becomes overrun by vegetation. Walls and columns of abandoned buildings are quickly claimed by the overgrowth of roots and vines, and blossoms can be found sprouting up everywhere. But players must be careful not to succumb to the charms of this blooming serenity. Bright colors, seductive Dryads, and huge mushrooms mask the poisonous spikes and sharp teeth and danger hidden beneath the foliage.

As an immortal, you’ll be tasked with assembling a group of fearless warriors in order to purge the ancient temple of the bloodthirsty Phytonides!
