Issue 82: Greetings gamers!! It was brought to my attention that I don’t talk about Final Fantasy enough and thus this issue is titled as such. Fear not, there are some headlines about FFXIV included in this issue, I didn’t skate around your feedback by merely titling this issue after the game š By the way, I encourage folks to make these kinds of suggestions. I don’t know what games folks like to read about so if there is a specific game that you would like for me to include, please let me know.
So, beyond some Final Fantasy XIV news, there is also a pretty cool video to check out from the Infinite Crisis beta testing. Some changes coming to those farming heroes in Marvel Heroes. There is talk of an in-game store with micro-transactions coming to Patch 5.4 of the current World of Warcraft expansion; and more beta news for Elder Scrolls Online. I also included a headline about Hearthstone. I know its not an MMO in the truest sense of the word, but if MMO sites are talking about it, I thought perhaps I should mention it as well.
So in between doing some leveling in WoW and preparing for raiding, I’ve been getting back into The Secret World since they are doing their anniversary event offering double XP, AP, or SP (until the 15th). The leveling boost, however, isn’t the reason I’ve been drawn back into the game. A friend of mine recently pointed out that you can build decks which will not only provide you with the abilities to maximize where you’ve put your ability points, but it will also award you a costume.
