1 day ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

If there’s a key word for Lord of the Rings Online this spring, it’s “Delay.” We’ve seen massive delays in everything from patches to new servers, and this trend includes a set of anniversary missions that were held back from the actual event start thanks to bugs.
WoW Classic continues to resurrect hardcare characters, WoW Retail embraces Timewalking dungeoneering

1 day ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

As The Princess Bride taught us, there’s dead… and there’s mostly dead. This is especially true on WoW Classic’s hardcore realms, where permadeath isn’t proving to be as “perma” as it once was. That’s because Blizzard continues to take the steps of resurrecting characters who died during recent DDoS attacks, including one a few days ago.
Perfect Ten: 10 reasons Elder Scrolls Online’s questing system is so dang compelling

1 day ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

Probably my favorite part of returning to any old favorite MMORPG is that honeymoon period of rediscovery when I get to see the game fresh and revel in its strengths once more. It’s kind of a low-key “falling in love once more,” just with fewer flowers and poems that I’ll regret come the morning. So as I’ve returned to Elder Scrolls Online this spring after nearly a year away, I’ve been greatly enjoying some of its best qualities.
The Daily Grind: Do you have a hard time playing the ‘baddie’ in an MMO?

1 day ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

A while back a few of us were talking about Grand Theft Auto Online, and I shared how I’ve never much wanted to play any of those games after the popular GTA3. While the open world aspect was mind-blowing at the time, I genuinely felt bad at being asked to be cruel and heartless toward characters meant to mimic contemporary society. In short, I don’t like to be the baddie.

That glow on the horizon isn’t merely radioactive decay on a massive scale, but the blossoming future of Amazon’s popular Fallout series. Season 2 for the show recently wrapped filming, with news emerging that it’ll take viewers to New Vegas and a battle or two with deathclaws. Even better is the word that Amazon’s already renewed the show for Season 3, with one of its actors, Aaron Moten, saying that there’s enough story to take the show through a possible fifth or sixth season.

MMO Hype Train: Equinox Homecoming’s rough start still holds potential if it can go the distance

2 days ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

It’s easy — and free! — to get excited about upcoming titles, but when a new MMO arrives, the choice whether or not to try it is surprisingly nuanced. Sometimes it’s too early in the testing process, so you want to wait for a more full bake. Sometimes it’s too pricey, or you’re waiting for word-of-mouth reports, or you simply have other projects that are taking up your time.
Path of Exile 2 hopes to enable private leagues and add new stash tabs this week

2 days ago | massivelyop.com | Justin Olivetti

Path of Exile 2’s big quality-of-life patch should be hitting the live servers by the end of this week with plenty of improvements across the board — including the start of private leagues in the game, albeit in an imperfect fashion. “We plan to enable Private Leagues when 0.2.0h releases using the Path of Exile 1 website for now,” Grinding Gear said. “There will be no extra mods available for these Private Leagues but we’ll be expanding the functionality of them soon.

Don’t call it an “expansion” or a “chapter,” but Elder Scrolls Online’s upcoming June Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 hopes to make as much of a splash as in previous years even so. Over the weekend, ZeniMax Online Studios posted a thinly veiled hype blog in the form of five suggestions of how players can prepare themselves for the not-expansion.

The sequel to the sleeper hit ARPG Titan Quest is going to be a little while longer in the coming, as Grimlore Games announced that it’s delaying Titan Quest II’s early access to this summer following the results of a recent demo playtest. While the studio said that a vast majority of testers surveyed rated the game highly, the feedback also highlighted several problem areas such as “combat fluidity,” optimization, and balance that required additional work.
