Those of you running out of space to store the enhancers obtained from the Motherlode Maw in RuneScape needn’t worry much longer, as the game is changing the way the items work. Specifically, they’re no longer going to be items; instead, they function as passive abilities that can be toggled on or off, with an extra charge being stocked up every time you would normally get one. Enhancers from Slayer Bounty and Elite Dungeon rewards will not be changed, however; the patch should still free up a fair amount of bank space, as the items will be removed and converted upon logging in. Players can also look forward to items functioning correctly from the action bar, such as scrimshaw working to open a craft interface and icons refreshing correctly. It’s a quality-of-life fix that will hopefully make players generally happier to experience the game, but you can check out the full set of patch notes for a detailed rundown on the game improvements. … [Read more...] about RuneScape is reworking Maw Enhancers to no longer be items
FFXIV: Black Fat Chocobo Amazon DLC
This is a NA Amazon only offer that last through July 1. Buy anything that qualifies and get a code for the black fat chocobo mount in FFXIV. Here’s what Amazon states as the conditions: Seems like preorders and some game cards don’t count – though the FFXIV Time Card itself seems to qualify. You can double check to see if a game is part of the promotion one of two ways. On the game page, if you scroll down under Sponsored Products and People Also Viewed section, there will be a section that looks like this: And on the search pages, if it qualifies, you’ll see something like this: Sadly, most of the games I want are pre-orders. So, I ended up picking up Civ VI for the Switch, since it’s on sale right now. Looks like as of tonight, the game is no longer in stock directly from Amazon, so it’s exempt from the promotion at this point. Kinda glad I jumped on that sale because there’s not a lot of other stuff I really wanted – Nintendo Shop … [Read more...] about FFXIV: Black Fat Chocobo Amazon DLC
The MOP Up: Project Torque revs back up for another race
Car racing MMOs have endured bumpy runs in the genre, including the late Project Torque (also called Level R and HEAT Online). Torque ran from 2006 through 2014, after which it was quietly taken offline. Offline, that is, until now. A bunch of fans are attempting to resurrect the racing game as an emulator with what seems like official permission: “A team of dedicated fans have spent the last 6 months working on getting this legendary game, Project Torque, back online. We have been working with Invictus (the developers who made the game) to bring it back online and in June 2019 we got confirmation that it will be coming back! And this is just the beginning of the rest of the news! Read on for a roundup of other smaller MMO news stories and videos from this past week in this edition of The MOP Up (and if you don’t see a news story that we should have covered, drop us a tip)! Aion Europe posted the winners of the game’s recent pirate costume … [Read more...] about The MOP Up: Project Torque revs back up for another race
PSA: Grab Too Human On Xbox (Free) Before It Goes Away
Too Human broke real ground after its launch in 2008, and not because of anything in the game play itself. Along with several other Silicon Knights products, it stands as one of the only titles in the industry to have a judge order all stock be recalled and destroyed. Way back in the year of 2007, developer Silicon Knights headed by President Denis Dyack filed a lawsuit against Epic Games over contract disputes, mostly alleging inadequate support and missing deadlines with the Unreal Engine. Sometime during the trial information came forward that Silicon Knights had filed the lawsuit while simultaneously stealing the Unreal Engine source code to build their own platform. Thousands and thousands of lines with typos and developer commentary were stolen, with Epic’s copyrights ripped out, and claimed as Silicon Knights creation. Thanks to the company’s criminal behavior Silicon Knights lost their lawsuit, lost a countersuit by Epic, and was forced to pay millions in damages … [Read more...] about PSA: Grab Too Human On Xbox (Free) Before It Goes Away
One Shots: Deep diving
Can’t say that I approve of the flagrant disregard for deep diving safety protocols that are on display in our spotlight picture from Final Fantasy XIV, but at least reader Frank knows how to grab an arresting screenshot when the situation calls for it. Glug glug. “Diving a thousand thousand fathoms below the surface of the Ruby Sea, Axelay discovers the fabled palace Shisui of the Violet Tides,” Frank said. After which a moogleshark swam by, ate him in one gulp, and then said “Kupo!” Our readers sure had fun showing off some of their favorite long-running characters this past week, including Miol here. Got to say, this passed my gut check of grabbing my attention when I was flipping through the comments! “This Norn in Guild Wars 2 learned his traits as an engineer around seven years ago from his Charr buddies over in their Iron Legion territory of Ascalon,” Miol said, “as he never felt connected to Norn culture with their Spirits of the … [Read more...] about One Shots: Deep diving
