What’s up Attackers! Kirk here with another edition of The XP, bringing you the latest happenings in the world of MMO. I know, I’m late again .. this time though, I have a better excuse. I was up at a press event with Obisdian Entertainment in LA to talk to hear about Skyforge and Armored Warfare, I should have some videos coming from the event shortly, so stay tuned. On this episode we’ll talk about Robocraft, Wild Terra, Guild Wars 2 and otherland. All that and more on today’s episode of the XP.
Robocraft, the indie robot fighting game has released their League of Mech update. The main part of the update includes the addition of mech legs which give your robot more of a mech-fighter feel while in battle. You can see from the video that their are a ton of options for the mech legs which give you a whole new playstyle for the game. Additionally the update brought a new game launcher and leagues, which will allow you to show off your robot building and battling skills.
Our friends over at Juvty Worlds let us know that they have opened up their test server to anyone and everyone interested in checking out their still in development, multiplayer online role playing game, Wild Terra. THe open test server started on October 22nd and will run for a few more days, up until October 26th. We checked out the game not too long ago and our very own Skylent Shore had a decent time playing so that’s why we thought we’d bring up a much smaller title on today’s show. The test client will work seperately from the main client and won’t interfere with play. You can download it at files.playwildterra.com/dev.
Black Eye Games released an extensive update aimed at improving the competitive combat elements of Gloria Victis this week, along with huge improvements to the environment and new locations and objects. The Mount and Blade style MMO already has a rather large following, even in its early stages of development thanks to a skill-based combat system taht rewards players based on their ability, not the level of their items. One of the most exciting elements to hit in this update is the headshot detection in PvP combat, which allows players to deal huge amounts of damage if they are able to land a powerful blow to the head.
The long awaited Guild Wars 2 expansion, Heart of Thorns officially went live this week and to commemorate the event ArenaNet released an infographic highlighting some of the various milestones since the game first launched. Boasting 7 million players, which is no small feat, Guild Wars 2 players have played 1.4 billion hours, and sent 223 million gifts.
An update in Otherland added over 120 new quest, 10 additional levels to your characters max and more. The update titled, ‘The 8 Squared Conflict, went live this week and gave players even more of an incentive to join the White Army forces. New locations were also added in the update like the Mausoleum and the Red Castle and like I said, increased the level cap to 40. Additionally, bug fixes and a reworking of male characters and zone transitions were also added by Drago Entertainment during the update.
That’s all I’ve got for you today, hope you’re having a great Saturday and be sure to check out our additional videos coming up from Obsidian Entertainment! Cya.
Our first impressions gameplay video for Devilian, the persistant-world action RPG from Trion Worlds. Join us as we take a look at the first 20 minutes or so of the game and let you know what our thoughts are, and whether or not you should check out Devilian yourself!

What’s up Attackers! Kirk here to bring you all the latest happenings in the MMO world for the past, I guess, 10-11 days. Yes, normally this video comes out on Friday, but I was taking a mini-vacation and couldn’t really get to it, you’d be surprised how much work this video takes! Anyways, on today’s episode we have Defiance, Trove, Devilian, Echo of Soul, Overwatch and more! The XP starts now!
Over the weekend we found out that SyFy would not be renewing the science fiction, obviously, TV show Defiance for what would be its fourth season. I’m not here to discuss how great the show was, never watched it to be honest, and although I love talking TV, maybe an idea for another channel, let’s just assume the show fell off a cliff. Anyways, we’re more concerned with the Defiance MMO from Trion Worlds, what was gonna happen to that!? CEO Scott Hartsman said this “Defiance is Trion’s IP and the game will continue exactly as before. The show has always been a fantastic and interesting partner, but the two were always meant to be able to stand on their own.” So we assume for now, the game will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future, and I can go along and pretend the TV show never existed.
Last week, on October 14th, the award-winning and critically acclaimed voxel-based RPG from .. will you look at this, also Trion Worlds, announced that it was ready to expand to an entirely new audience, the huge video game playerbase of, drum roll please .. Mac. Macs? Apple? The computer company that only has about 10% of the worlds computer sales, that one. The original PC version of Trove launched earlier this year, in July and has amassed over 3.3 million registered players, and now they can expect .. .2 million more! Maybe, I dunno, I don’t do the math stuff. The Mac launch includes 12 playable classes, procedurally generated dungeons, challenging lairs and loot, all sorts of loot. You can play Trove on your Mac computer NOW.
I swear I didn’t do this on purpose, I pinky fucking swear it. Trion Worlds announced last week that the very first public closed beta event would be taking place for its new MMORPG game Devilian later this month on October 22nd. The beta will run through October 26th and players with previous access to Alpha testing will be able to take part in the event. Trion describes Devilian as a frantic and devilish action RPG experience. Sign up for Devilian using the link below and let us know what you think when the closed beta hits later this week! OK, no more news from Trion. I hope.
The latest class to join the free to play MMORPG, Echo of Soul is the Warlock. The Warlock comes in two specializations, the Tormentor and the Reaper. The Tormentor specializes in dealing massive amounts of damage over time by wielding an array of curses, while the reaper is a deadly master of melee combat who leach power from their foes and destroy them. The Warlock comes to us via the 1.5 patch which also adds two new dungeons, a tier 5 Infinite Solo Dungeon and a Tier 6 Party Dungeon with new boss monsters. The first player on each server to level their Warlock to level 60 will receive a special title, while anyone who gets to level 60 with their Warlock by October 31st will receive a special costume. Most likely, Halloween themed. Don’t bet me on that.
This is probably too late to report on, but since it’s my fault I’m late on this video I’m still gonna say it just in case you missed it in the past week even though I’m sure every video game website has already let you know about it. Overwatch, the arena shooter type game from Blizzard announced that October 27th would be the launching of the Closed Beta client as us peasants await the first wave of invites for public testers. The team will be focusing on two major goals during its first public Closed Beta event, one is to get TONS of feedback form players on topics such as gameplay, balance and performance, as well as a hammering out of technical hiccups and making adjustments to the infrastructure. To try your luck at getting invited to the very limited closed beta, check out battle.net.
Rockstar Games today released an exciting new update for Grand Theft Auto Online as Lowriders are now available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, via a free to download automatic update that was released today. The latest addition to the world of Grand Theft Auto sees Benny’s Original Motor Works introduced to the city of Los Santos, bringing with it a huge variety of customization options specifically tailored towards Lowrider cars. Two new vehicles have also been introduced, including the Declasse Moonbeam van and the Willard Faction. These two vehicles join four existing vehicles in-game to bolster the Lowrider options for players. The new Lowriders can be customized in a huge variety of ways including Hydraulics, Engines, Steering Wheels, Rims, Tires, Gear Shift Levers, Horns, Bobbleheads, rear window Plaques, Vanity Plates & Plate Holders, Soundsystem Mods, custom Paint Jobs and more. The team have also introduced three new Adversary Modes including Keep the Pace, Offense Defense and Relay. The Keep the Pace Adversary Mode is a play on the Speed movie, keeping players above a certain speed through the fear of imminent death via explosion. Finally players can now purchase an additional property, to include a total of four Apartment and Garage options for players to pick up – alongside a 25% rebate at Dynasty 8 for launch week of the update.

What’s up Attackers, Kirk here with your weekly MMO News for October 9th, 2015. On today’s episode we have a couple new, or at least new to you, games that we can start looking forward to, as well as another MMO death, which is becoming increasingly more common. All that and more on today’s episode of the XP.
Webzen’s Asian inspired fantasy MMO Asta: The War of Tears and Winds has just announced its first beta test which is scheduled for this November. What’s really cool about this beta, and what we’d hope many games would do, is that the beta test is fairly long and mostly unrestricted. Starting on November 3rd, all players with a free Webzen account will be able to check the game out. So that’s pretty cool, we’ll all get to check out the character creation, talent trees, PvP battlegrounds, the crafting systems and all that good stuff. Unfortunately, all progress will be wiped at the end of the beta, but I guess that’s to be expected. You can check out the sort of brand new beta trailer playing above my voice now!
A Bethesda spokesperson recently spoke to an Australian video game site, Progress Bar, about why Battlecry didn’t make an appearance at the recent EB Expo, and the statement given, is less than promising. And I quote “We have concerns about the Battlecry game and whether it is meeting the objectives we have for it. We are evaluating what improvements the game needs to meet our quality standards. The studio remains busy during this process on multiple projects”. So I’ve got to play Battlecry at the past two E3’s and was less than impressed, and it doesn’t help that this ‘Arena Shooter’ game genre is the new MOBA, with titles like Gigantic and obviously Overwatch from Blizzard.. Oh, and Paladins from Hi-Rez Studios. I tend to think the game is too far along to scrap, but the competition is definitely starting to heat up.
Might as well head back to Webzen here for a moment. The studio also announced this week that their free to play hack’n’slash MMORPG, ELOA: Elite Lords of Alliance, will be heading to their first North American and European closed beta coming up on October 13th. As with ASTA, anyone with a Webzen account will be able to check out ELOA, and you can even download the client today so that you’re ready to go on October 13th for the approximately week long beta. Also, all progress will be wiped at the end of the beta. Sign up at eloa.webzen.com.
Sad news here, I think .. not really though. Dragon’s Prophet, the immensely un-original Dragon MMORPG from Runewaker Entertainment and Daybreak Games will no longer be active as of November 16th. At least here in North America, as that was Daybreaks geographic reign on the game, so maybe someone else will pick it up, although I’m not sure why. I’ve always joked with colleagues that Dragon’s Prophet was SOE’s (I know it’s Daybreak now), least liked game and was often the most overlooked at the E3’s and PAX’s of the world. Heck, even at the now defunct SOE Live’s the past few years, very little was ever shown off form Dragon’s Prophet. Just a sad, sad game. Sorry. I won’t miss it. You probably won’t either.
ESTsoft has announced that the Ruin of the Gods update to Cabal 2 will be going live on October 14th. Ruin of the Gods is designed specifically for players of level 40+ and features the Gray Canyon zone. Journeying through Gray Canyon will offer players the opportunity to level from 40-45 through three brand new dungeons complete with quests and gear drops. According to ESTsoft, these dungeons offer the most challenging game content to date.
The dungeons are:
* Silent Snowfield for level 43
* Ancient Academy for level 45
* Tomb of Kain requiring completion of the first two. Check it out next week!
Lastly I’ll quickly mention that Block N Load the what I thought was already a free to play shooter, is officially going free to play. I guess I assumed it was already free to play because it just looked so .. blah, I dunno .. un-interesting. I mean, a shooter with Minecraft like qualities, how many of those are there now? Roblox, Guncraft, Cubeworld, Ace of Spades .. Trove. Oh, and Minecraft. So yeah, Block N Load is now officially free to play and you can get it on their official website or on Steam.
That’s all I’ve got for you today, please leave this video a like, a subscribe, a comment and I hope you all have a great fucking weekend. Cheers!

What’s up Attackers! Kirk here with your weekly breakdown of the biggest and most noteworthy stories for the week in MMO ending in October 2nd. On today’s episode we’ll be talking about H1Z1, Wildstar, Landmark, First Assault and more! The XP starts now!
So yesterday the folks over at Daybreak Games released a video unlike we’ve ever seen from the company. The September Art Wrap-Up video was a sort of teaser of in-game art assets that gives us a glimpse of what the team is working on, and what we can expect to see in the future from the post-apocalyptic zombie survival MMO game (that’s a mouthful of a genre right?) In the video you’ll see new walking and crawling animations for humans and zombies, people tied up in bags, new animals like a cougar and fireflies, as well as maggots and roaches. Zombie heads in jars and some new damage marks for structures, furniture and foliage are also seen among the footage. The 4 minute video also shows a bunchof new reloading animations and just a bunch of cool stuff that any H1Z1 fan should enjoy. You’re watching some of it as I speak, but check out the full video below.
Armored Warfare, the tank battle MMO game from Obsidian Entertainment and My.com also released a video this week, but this one was just to announce the upcoming open beta test for the game. Up to this point players who have wanted to check out Armored Warfare have had to shell out for an early access pack, but when open beta begins, you’ll be able to download and play for FREE, with all of your progress being saved into launch, now that’s pretty cool. Now of course, early access members will get a head start into open beta, which runs from October first, yesterday, until October 7th, but from October 8th, anyone and everyone will be able to check the game out. More details can be found on Armored Warfare’s open beta via their website.
Earlier this week the Perfect World and Cryptic Studios guys detailed a bunch of the details for the next Neverwinter expansion titled, Underdark. Underdark will feature a new campaign, new Stronghold plot locations and PvP tower, a large-scale battle against the demon prince Demogorgon and of course much much more. The dev team also outlined how they are making repeatable content more interesting by introducing some variability into fights, so that players will need to focus less on ‘muscle memory’ and more on reading and reacting to what’s going on in battle. The team also mentioned that a laundry list of features would be covered in future blog posts, which only makes us have to bookmark their page so we can get the info to you as quickly as possible. We will definitely keep you updated here at Attack Gaming so stay tuned Neverwinter Fans!
First Assault’s first stress test kicked off yesterday, October 1st and runs for two more days to Monday October 4th. Nexon’s free to play, Ghost in the Shell inspired MMO first person shooter will have you playing as an elite augmented soldier with unique skillsets and weaponry on the urban battlefields of the future. A perk for players who play in the stress test can be unlocked by reaching level 2, in which you’ll receive an exclusive weapon skins. Also, any and all players who play this weekend will be entered to win a Logitech Ultimate Hardware Bundle. Sign up NOW via the link below. There’s not much time!
As you might have heard, Wildstar went Free to Play this week, and now one of the biggest MMORPG launches in recent years will definitely have an influx of new players trying the game out as they won’t have to shell out their hard-earned cash for the opportunity to play. A huge launch event went down in Time’s Square New York on Monday and many of you might have seen the festivities on their Twitch stream throughout the night. So yes, Wildstar is NOW free to play so go check it out right after you finish watching this video! The free to play conversion also came with quite a few changes as the ‘Reloaded’ update was the largest to date and brought redesigns in quest flow, character creations, environments, loyalty programs and an overhaul to the levels 1 to 15 experience. A brand new lighting design was added to the game, so the transition definitely became much more drastic for anyone jumping in. Like I said, check out Wildstar today!
That’s all the time I have for you today, please show this video some love with a like and a subscribe and we can’t wait to see you in the next video. Thanks again and we’ll see you on the flip side!

Golden Rush is a rather unusual fantasy MOBA for four teams. Here you can become one of the legendary heroes fighting against monsters, dragons, and other adventurers for the treasures of the Golden Lands.
Based on our first impressions of the game, we feel that you can find some of the same gameplay in a Dota 2 custom match, with much more polish and style.

A new sci-fi MMORPG is incoming. Wildstar is set on a planet called Nexus where different factions are competing for dominance over it. This game is a colourful and stylish take on the genre with a whole menagerie of strange and wonderful creatures and a dash of wicked humour.
There are two groups seeking control over the planet named Nexus, the Exiled and the Dominion. There are currently six species, three in each group:
Humans have been wandering the Fringe in a ramshackle fleet for centuries and now they are looking to settle on Nexus. If the Dominion interfere with that, they are ready to fight.
The Granok were banished from their home planet by the Dominion and now live lives as mercenaries. They have come to Nexus to help the humans and settle a score.
The forest dwelling Aurin have made their new home on Nexus after their planet was razed by the dominion. They may love peace but they are willing to fight to get it.
The Cassian were chosen by destiny to establish the Dominion and gain control of the galaxy. They fight against the so-called vermin infesting it ? with style!
The warrior race called Draken are the foot soldiers of the Dominion. They are brutal and like to prove it.
Mechari are engineered to be highly efficient killing machines who make it their business to destroy traitors and spies in the Dominion ranks.
Currently there are four character classes to choose from:
The Warrior does things the old fashioned way, by using brute force and deadly weaponry to take care of business.
The Spellsinger uses a combination of quick firing pistols and magic spells to tear down their enemies fast.
The Stalker is a deadly assassin, stealthing through the battlefield to land precise strikes on their enemies.
The Esper uses their psychic abilities to confuse and control their opponents as well as inspiring and healing their allies.
As well as classes there are career paths to go down:
The Explorer discovers far-flung areas of the planet to claim for his or her faction and brings back valuable artefacts belonging to ancient civilisations.
The Scientist knows that knowledge is power and uses plants, minerals and dangerous alien organisms to discover new abilities.
The Soldier lives for epic battles, mastering weaponry and special combat skills as he or she climbs the ranks for fame, glory and fortune.
The Settler brings civilisation to this newly discovered planet by building new outposts and upgrading existing settlements to the benefit of your allies.
Wildstar is currently in its second closed beta with no release date specified as of yet. I look forward to seeing more details of this game as the concept seems solid and the media so far released looks vibrant and different to most of what we see in a typical sci-fi MMO. Keep an eye on this one people, it looks awesome!
Wild Terra is a Massively multiplayer online role-playing game with open world. Surviving in wild nature, harvesting, hunting, gathering, craft, unlimited building, PvP, sieges, treasure hunting, and more!
Check out Wild Terra for yourself!

Wild Terra is a Massively multiplayer online role-playing game with open world. The main idea behind Wild Terra is to survive in the wild nature while harvesting, hunting, gathering, craft, building, PvPing, sieging, treasure hunting, and more! The game is a hybrid between action-RPGs and sandbox games. There are no NPCs in the game, so the only way to get anything accomplished is to do it yourself or buy it from other player (or take it with force).
In Wild Terra you will explore a huge world where every player can find a place for him or herself to enjoy and search for discoveries.
The game also features PvP with no hand-holding. There are dozens of types of weapons and armor along with many different ways to use them in the combat system.
The game is currently still in development but if you’d like to play it right away, you will have to purchase a bundle for Early Access. The bundles start at $9.99 and go up to $99.99 depending on what different features you would like to help you experience in the game.
