Posted: 05 Mar 2013 02:31 PM PST

Today, Perfect World Entertainment releases a new video showcasing another new zone in Neverwinter: Icespire Peak.

 

 

In the shadow of Icespire Peak, the Icehammer dwarves wage a wintry battle. Lakkar and the Winterforge lay untouched for generations. However, while searching for rich veins of gold and mithril, the dwarves discovered a dormant portal to the Winterforge. Unknowingly, they activated it and released an army of ice golems, which forced them to flee. The frost giants seized control of the Winterforge and now seek to expand their frozen kingdom. The hardy dwarves may be resilient but they cannot do it alone.

The Battle Arrays in Age of Wushu

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 01:22 PM PST

 

Battles are seldom won by an individual, strategy and formations executed by a group of skilled fighters are the key to winning. In Age of Wushu large battles or team oriented fights yield great reward. These rewards are financial, physical, and historical. A victory with a team fight usual means you have conquered an instance, prevented theft within your school, or even overtaken another guild's territory for your own. Mastering Arrays for these fights not only strengthens yourself, but an entire party.

Arrays vary in both sizes and buffs. They improve "strength" in combat. Whether that is literally brawn or rather some other attribute, depends on the Array. Some arrays can be accomplished by a mere three players, while others require over ten to perform. The more players that are needed, the bigger the buff. There are several arrays to learn and acquire, whether through instances or Random Encounters. There are currently six external Arrays, (within schools there are also Arrays).  You will learn the Three Talents Array while training in the starting village. It is a simple array that requires only three participants. This is an excellent starting array due to the number of members required and its availability. The effects of the Three Talents showcase the variety in Arrays as well. While it doesn't directly adjust Strength, it does increase attack damage and reduce taken damage on members that have performed the Arrray.

The two instances player's enter the most, Twilight Village and Green Cloud Castle, are the best examples to see how an Array can help a team.  Choosing who leads, and what skills are used in the Array, adds to the excitement of being a master tactician. For example, using the Return to Origins Array lets players use two very different skills, Charge and Penetrate and Return Tiger to the Mountain. Charge and Penetrate, exponentially increases aggro on a player allowing them to distract enemies or one very powerful boss. Return Tiger to the Mountain deals extra damage while also reducing the target's defenses. The latter can be taken by weaker range players while stronger players can use the extra aggro to focus enemy attacks.

The Weiqi Player Profession is very important to Arrays. Like the other Culture Professions (Painter, Musician, Calligrapher) the Weiqi Player enhances a particular aspect of combat or life.  Weiqi is very similar to Chess and utilizes similar strategies. Players use the skills of a game board and direct them to the board of battle. If a Weiqi Player activates an Array it will add a bonus dependent on the level of the Weiqi Player's skill and their manual level.  Using the right Array and the right partners in an Array can create a great advantage over opponents.

PvP Scenario Highlights for Scarlet Blade

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 10:47 AM PST

Make sure to order extra body bags, because there's no shortage of enemy players to kill in Scarlet Blade! Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of free-to-play online games, has opened up about the cutthroat PvP scenarios in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) as it draws ever nearer to closed beta.

 

At the outset, players will choose between two factions: The gold-clad Royal Guards or the crimson Free Knights. When the powerful AI known as Mother split into two separate personalities, each believing itself to be the original, the opposing factions were born. The Royal Guards believe that the player-controlled Arkana are dangerous tools to be kept in check, while the Free Knights wish to set them free after the danger to the world has been thwarted.

 

The future ruins of Earth provide plenty of territory over which the factions clash. The 30v30 Janus map and 80v80 Turnpike map are the first two instanced battlefields to await eager players. Both of these action-packed battlefields feature objective-based contests for players to eliminate key PvP targets while protecting their own targets. Even larger battlefields that will accommodate more players are also planned for shortly after Scarlet Blade's launch.

 

For the ultimate PvP challenge, the huge open-world zone of Caergate pits both factions against each other and vicious NPCs. In this dangerous zone, massive raid-level bosses roam free with some of the most highly sought-after loot in the game. But it won't be a matter of just defeating the bosses themselves—players will also have to fight with eager members of the opposing faction over the kill.
