lego-sw-crewIssue 116: Greetings Gamers! I bet you all were starting to think that I had fallen off the wagon again and forgot to post another MMO Times. Actually the delay is primarily because there wasn’t much to talk about and, again, I didn’t want to post “Little Tommy’s Fanboi Blog Site” as legitimate and interesting MMO news.

In this issue we have some more Patch 6.2 details for Warlords of Draenor, an awesome animated clip for the LEGO fans, some Secret World news and more. So while you are waiting for Taco Tuesday and searching for the KRAGLE, perhaps these articles will help pass the time because “everything is awesome when we’re living our dream”. KCGO

WoW: New Demon Models

Posted 5.26.15 – In Patch 6.2, Warlocks will get new models for all of their demon pets. I’d say the most dramatic of changes is the Fel House. MMO Champion provided previews for all the new models using their model viewer. If you are a warlock you should definitely checkout how your pets look in their makeovers.

Video: LEGO Modding FPSs

Posted 5.27.15 – The author of this post makes a good point, of all the various first person shooters, why has there never been a good LEGO mod. Well a group called Andrewfilms decided that it was time someone did and created a video with minifigures inserted into Counter-Strike, Skyrim, Portal 2, Bioshock and it looks awesome! You have to check out the short video, its quite entertaining. In fact I might even say “Everything [about it] is Awesome!”

Details On TSW Motorcycles

Posted 5.27.15 – Last week The Secret World teased players with the possibility of motorcycle mounts. Naturally that rumor quickly spread like lice at a birthday party throughout the TSW gaming community. Someone had to get the details on this rampant rumor and MJ Guthrie at Massively Overpowered stepped up to the challenge and gathered the details from Secret Worlds lead designer Ghostcrawler, I mean Romain Amiel.

WildStar Officially Going F2P

Posted 5.28.15 – When WildStar first came out many people thought that it would never go Free-2-Play and Carbine never really talked about it. In my last post there was a rumor that the game would be F2P when it became available on Steam, though that rumor has yet to be confirmed. Well, Carbine finally spoke up and has confirmed that the game will be 100% Free-2-Play this Fall. I’m inclined to check it out when it happens. The post has an interview with creative director Chad Moore.

Video: Overwatch Tracer Preview

Posted 5.28.15 – Quite a few eyes are on Overwatch as summer draws near. I believe the beta for this game is supposed to start some time this fall, which is why I believe there have been several previews of the different playable characters lately. Tracer is definitely one that seems to peak my interest, especially after watching this video. I’m kind of hoping that my name in the hat will render me a beta invite.

E3 Inviting Thousands of Fans

Posted 5.29.15 – The Electronic Entertainment Expo is doing something for the first time in its 20 years of existence, they are going to let the public in. The catch is (there is always a catch), it will be invite only. Usually its just industry companies that attend E3 but this year 4-5,000 consumers will be at the L.A. Convention Center as invited guests. I would like to  know where the LFG channel is for that invite!!! E3 is scheduled for June 16th-18th.
