Final Fantasy 14 kicked off its All Saints' Wake just a couple of days ago on October 17. To access All Saints' Wake, players must be at least level 15 and complete the "It's Probably Pirates" quest. From there, they can head to Old Gridania and speak to the Adventurers' Guild Investigator for more information. The event gives players a chance to earn plenty of in-game items, including the new Circus Ahriman mount and a few favorites from previous ye
MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) was once that genre in gaming. League of Legends was bringing in big money, Dota 2 was a force in esports, and copycats were springing up all over the place. In truth, that hasn't really changed. Sure, everyone is streaming battle royale and auto chess now, but MOBA is still alive and well. League of Legends keeps paying Riot's bills, and Dota 2 still brings in those __ huge prize pools . The copycats have slowed somewhat as developers flock to make auto chess games. The goal for MOBA developers now seems to be to tap into empty markets. That's probably the inspiration behind Genesis , a new MOBA exclusive to P
Apex Legends' Fight or Fright event began on October 15 and will run until November 5. Fight or Fright will bring players to a nighttime version of the Kings Canyon map, where regular matches will take a creepy turn: once a player dies, rather than going to the end-game screen, their character will be reanimated as an undead version of themselves. Then the undead players will go after the living ones, who will have to band together once only 10 survivors remain to reach an evac s
Anthem is taking advantage of its sibling status to the beloved Mass Effect series in its Season of Skulls Halloween event. Players will get the chance to use Asari, Krogan, Quarian, and Turian armor during the event, along with new weekly and seasonal challenges and an increased legendary drop rate. The Season of Skulls will also be a bit of a lore drop, with a fog gathering around Fort Tarsis and "intriguing secrets" scattered throughout
Genesis opens by explaining that humans and aliens teamed up to go through a portal in space. There are unknown dangers on the other side, which warranted the formation of a group of specialized individuals. Right after, you're dropped onto a single-lane bridge and put in control of the beginner-friendly archer hero. Sound familiar? I immediately had flashbacks to the League Of Legends Meta of Legends tutorial. Genesis does try to set itself apart by focusing more on story. The tutorial introduces mysterious aliens that attack our alliance of heroes. What they are, and why they're hostile, is a matter for the campaign. Oh yeah, there's a full-on campaign mode. Too bad it doesn't work at the moment, an issue the devs are actively fixi
Is there a chance for Blizzard to thrive in the esports scene in the near future? Many longtime fans of the company would sure hope so - however, after all the stunts they've pulled, it's hard to stay optimistic for the future of many beloved franchi
Riot Games has launched a beta for its new online collectible card game (CCG), Legends of Runeterra . Players are flocking to try it for themselves, and some are wondering how best to play the game since it offers some large innovative designs over similar ga
With Aphelios' 5 weapons, two teamfights will never play out the same. The way he wants to approach a full 5v5 or a small skirmish will depend on his current main and off-hand weapons. The Calibrum, Infernum, and Crescendum Moonlight Vigils are very strong during developing teamfights, especially in small areas. The AOE damage and healing can win fights single-handedly. He can also use the AOE crowd control from his Gravitum Moonlight Vigil to initiate or disengage a fi
To get a feel for the different types of decks, check out the three pre-made decks gifted to you following the tutorial. Here we see all of the familiar archetypes that are common to CCGs, including elements that relate to buffing characters in a deck or held in hand, zoo strategies of overwhelming the board with units, with Spiders in the premade deck's case, or of mixing up units with spe
How you choose to construct a deck is in your hands entirely. However, in the earliest stages of beta, a simple tempo-oriented zoo deck will be one of the strongest options simply because players are learning what exactly is going on, and zoo ensures that there is always a focus on having and maintaining board control in the early and mid game. For the unfamiliar with the concept of zoo, check out Trump's video below. It is four years old, but the concept remains unchanged in virtually all C
Bloodborne 's Halloween event is a little more non-traditional, in that the Return to Yharnam event is completely community-run. There are officially sanctioned costumes for players to show off, but for the main event, players are encouraged to roll new characters and then interact with fellow Hunters as much as possible, Summoning or Invading them frequently. Bloodborne 's community event is going on now and runs until Novembe
