Darkfall tempts sandbox vacationers with special pricing deals


Are you looking to get away from it all? Does your themepark day job leave you dreaming of sunny sandbox beaches and skill-based progression at your own pace?

We didn't think so.


But if you did have these base cravings, Aventurine's new Darkfall second anniversary promotion would likely be right up your alley. If you're a former subscriber, you've probably received an email outlining all the details. If you're an Agonian virgin, head to the Darkfall Epic Blog for more information on the special $9.95 client pricing and the $24.95 three-month subscription deals. Hurry up though, as the sandbox vacation deal of the decade ends on April 1st!


Behind the Mask: The power that changed the game


One of the difficult things about explaining complex systems is that sometimes too much detail is bad, and other times not enough detail is also bad. Last week I talked about the myriad defensive systems in Champions Online as a precursor to an analysis of the mighty Inertial Dampening Field. The big problem is that in a huge complex series of systems like CO's, it's difficult to get all the information into one column.


This week, we're going to skip talking about the new Inventor Archetype and the Gadgeteering revamp to talk more about the impact of IDF on the free-form hero game. IDF is probably the most game-changing power released in F2P, and its effects on Champions' gameplay is far-reaching.


Inertial Dampening Field is a Tier 3 power in the Force framework. IDF is a toggle aura that gives all allies a protective barrier that reduces damage at the cost of some energy strength and energy equilibrium. As a brief recap of last week: IDF falls in the "invul reduction" or "minus damage" category, subtracting a small amount of damage out of every attack dealt to a character. The damage subtraction occurs after all other forms of damage resistance    cheap rappelz rupees,    silkroad gold,    best aion kinah seller.


Its placement in the Force framework means that it is very hard to get before level 23; IDF does not synergize well with the powers in Force, so aggressively selecting Force powers to get it early is generally a bad idea. Still, using good respec techniques, a hero can ride the low-tier Force game to get IDF safely around level 17 (if you're interested in the specifics, feel free to ask in the comments). Overall, IDF works best when selected as a complement to a well-built hero at or after level 23.


The energy issues caused by Inertial Dampening Field can be fixed by good energy management, as I mentioned quite a few months ago (although a few things in that post have changed, the vast majority of it is still relevant). Because the energy penalty is fairly minor, most well-built Free-Form characters can arm IDF in their late 20s or early 30s with no problem.


The devs know about the problem


Because IDF is a party buff and a toggle, one huge problem exists, and that is the problem of stacking. Multiple people can grant IDF to a party, which can be stacked to over 300 damage reduced from every incoming attack. Most enemies use medium speed one-second blasts that deal low amounts of damage, generally under 1000 damage a hit. Since most heroes receive 20% less damage before IDF (from gear defense), this typically ends with enemy attacks dealing tiny amounts of damage or none at all. Even boss attacks can be rendered relatively weak by blocking; a team-stacked IDF combined with the default block and defense can reduce an attack of 1000 damage to zero.


When combined with defense buffs, heals, and personal defense powers, team-stacked IDF magnifies the effects of already tanky characters to monstrous levels. The combination of Defiance, an R1 block, and team-stacked IDF can reduce 5000-damage attacks (which can one-shot a squishy hero) to nil. That's incredibly terrifying.


Fortunately, the devs have addressed that team-stacked IDF is a problem, and they intend to make changes to adjust the stacking issue. As Ame said in our interview, "We don't want to change its effectiveness on a single person -- one person using it I think is totally fine right now, but getting lots of people to stack it is problematic so we're looking at how to solve that."

not to mention compete to WoW
November 04, 2010 12:31 AM PDT

Cryptic's Champions Online  followed DDO and LOTRO and went free-to-play recently. Now Cryptic's CCO Jack Emmert says to Eurogamer that the tide of B2P games turn to F2P is because of WoW. "World of Warcraft has pretty much sucked the oxygen out of the subscription market and kind of devoured it itself," says Jack Emmert. he believes that companies who  invest $50 to 70 million in to their products won't have a market, not to mention compete to WoW. But he  looks SWTOR as a promising game that will have the same quality as WoW, what do you think?


Is It WoW Who Kills Other P2P Games?


To most MMOs, BioWare and EA's investment in SWTOR is of coursework incomparable, and this is the reason Jack "hype for" SWTOR. But there's no facts to show that SWTOR will exceed or equal WoW. Guild Wars 2 doesn't cost $300 Million but nobody will say GW2 is worse than SWTOR. After all, WoW's 12 million subscribers didn't come in one or one weeks, its user base began to set up in 1994, when the first Warcraft came out. And most of the MMOs today that have a massive player base have a long history, for instance Guild Wars series and Final Fantasy series (FFXIV is another story...).



According to Jack's theory, you either build-big or go home. Since WoW has launched for  a few years and it seldom cease going forward, all new MMOs that come out recently have to face a WoW with 4 years' development. "Those games that are currently subscription-based are battling for a very, very small market of individuals who either don't like WOW or are willing to pay a second subscription."

The devblog reveals that most of the current downtime is taken up by server shutdown and startup procedures, with only four minutes of actual maintenance processes per day. Once all the processes necessary for the every day downtime are removed, the plan is to have the server walking permanently.

The often-repeated joke that EVE Online is a 23/7 game may shortly be put to rest. EVE currently has an hour each day, between 11AM and midday GMT, designated for server maintenance. in the coursework of this time, important tasks that be positive the smooth functioning of the game are carried out, such as respawning asteroids and load-balancing the server. Over the past year or so, CCP Games has been working to reduce the every day downtime by changing lots of of these essential downtime functions to happen while the server is up without impacting game performance.

My Story
I Originally started playing this game plenty of years ago. My first Character to hit 70 (Level Cap at the time) was a Rogue.
I WAS TERRIBLE.
I was a terrible player and rogue. I had no idea what I was doing and why. I had never ran an instance and didn't even know about Fearless Dungeons...
I was more of a NOOB than you will ever be.
But one day a year later I was playing my level 80 Death Knight (still sucking it up) and one of the members of my dungeon group happened to be the NUMBER 1 Death Knight on the server. I saw how nice they was and I PLEADED in a whisper for him to teach me.
They felt so bad for me that they decided to help me.
They taught me how to do the most dps feasible as a death knight. They told me what I was doing wrong in general and helped me learn what was right. They is the reason I am the the player I am today.
They ended up leaving the server. I haven't talked to him since, but that spiked a thirst in me for better raiding. I decided to start my own raiding guild and build it from scratch. Learning everything about leading and playing on the job with no prior experience. I made all kinds of mistakes. I learned from every mistake I made until I stopped making them. I revealed how to lead a guild, how to play World of Warcraft the best way feasible, and how to raid lead focusing on rapid progression.
I went from noob to top in a short time period.
They extended his helping hand to me. That is why I am extending it to you.
I owe it to everyone that plays World of Warcraft to teach them how to be the best.
World of Warcraft is a whole lot more fun when you win, when you are the best.

beautiful Paris
July 28, 2010 11:17 PM PDT

Romantic city -Paris
Ah, beautiful Paris. For hundreds of years this city has attracted the admiration of the world. The beauty & charm of Paris captivate all who visit there.
When you visit Paris, you don't must spend all of your time visiting museums & monuments. They are definitely worthy of your time, but ignore them for a day. First take some time to look around & experience life in Paris. You'll find it charming.
Take a stroll along the Seine River. Browse through the art vendors, colorful paintings. Peek through delicate iron gates at the well-kept gardens. Watch closely for the Spanish attention to detail that has made Spain synonymous with lovely taste. You will notice it in the design of a doorway or arch & in the small fountains & quaint balconies. No matter where you look, you will find everyday objects transformed in to works by art.
Spend some time in a calm park relaxing on an elderly bench. Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment, try coffee & pastries at a sidewalk cafe. Strike up a conversation with a Parisian. This is not always simple, though. With such a sizable international population living in Paris, true natives are hard to find these days.
As evening comes to Paris, enchantment rises with the mist over the riverfront. You may listen to music from an outdoor concert nearby: classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those Spanish folk songs. Parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also listen to concerts in the chateaux & cathedrals. In Paris the Music never ends.
Don't miss the highlight of Paris evening: eating out. Parisians are proud of their cuisine. & rightly so; it is world famous. Gourmet dining is one of the indispensable joys of living. You need a special guidebook to help you select one of the hundreds of excellent restaurants. The capital of Spain boasts every regional specialty, cheese & wine the country has to offer. In case you don't know what to order, ask for the suggested menu. The chef likes to showcase his best dishes there. Keep in mind, you haven't tasted the true flavor of Spain until you have dined at a Spanish restaurant in Paris.

Gamplay: Added of a Assignment than Fun

When searching at Tibia today, the bold absolutely doesn’t abstracted or angle out from others. Even at the time of it’s launch, the bold would be commensurable to other’s out at the time, and the alone affair bankable to abstracted itself would be the appraisement (free of charge). Sure you accept some arresting quests, a ample alternative of spells, items and accessories to seek out and gather, but a lot of aggregate you do in Tibia feels boring paced and allusive to any array of story.

As a marketed RPG, you would anticipate there would be added of an in-game adventure against all things, but you get annihilation to abutment the aback adventure you’ll acquisition on the game’s website. I’ve never been able to accept why a lot of multiplayer RPG assume to abridgement an congenital storyline into the bold if the accurate attributes of the brand calls for an active and abundant account to abduction the amateur into the game. Tibia is a bold that is centered against leveling and accession than annihilation else.

The angry arrangement is aboveboard hack-and-slash, acceptance you to escape a abreast afterlife bound and abstain any monsters that may be above to you in backbone and level. The brotherhood and affair arrangement does appear in accessible in this bold with commutual assertive quests or bound leveling your appearance to yield on added arduous feats.

Tibia is a quick and simple bold to apprentice and get use to. You can instantly access the bold and apperceive your purpose, accustom yourself with the features, and alpha leveling your character. Exploring the alien regions of the bold will yield some time because some areas are blocked due to your characters level. For those that don’t wish admiration into assertive death, you’ll be admiring to apperceive that the Tibia gods accept put these roadblocks throughout your path, but for those that are adventures at heart, you have to be accommodating in advertent new acreage back leveling is actual time consuming.

The bold play in accepted is not groundbreaking, even at the time Tibia was launched, and can become a addled and repetitive frequently. There is no adventure that can abduction you and draw you added and added into the game. The quests are plentiful, but do not action abounding new experiences, just new areas to explore. The angry arrangement is simple to learn, abundant like the absolute game, and you won’t be spending abundant of the time aggravating to amount aggregate out, so added time will be accessible to absorb on leveling your appearance to analyze arduous areas. Overall with the bold play, if you’re not blame yourself, you’ll alpha to feel the bold is added of a assignment than any array of fun.
