Live in-game now, Episode Four, Mystic Training: The Ritual, starts off with the player and Shamala finding Millia at the Ant Pit, however Millia does not want to be interrupted. Nevertheless, Shamala convinces Millia to come to the holy land of shamans to train in the use of her powers. Demote, the caretaker, states that only Akule had the strength to train a power as great as Millia’s. A crazed ex-shaman named Lelach, who bears a striking resemblance to Akule, claims he can train Millia. At his behest, they complete the charm Akule was making for the player with the help of the Elves and Giants. The completed charm exorcises the demon within the player. They return to the holy land, and meet with representatives of the Elves and Giants.

| SMITE’s next Goddess, Chang’e the Moon Goddess, Kit Revealed Posted: 23 Jul 2013 02:50 PM PDT An early copy of this week’s SMITE patch notes has been posted on HiRez forums showcasing multiple changes as well as the announcement of the latest Chinese pantheon Goddess, Chang’e. Known best for her signature Moon Festival, Chang’e brings immense sustainability and powerful CC through a kit focused on out thinking her opponent and adjusting her dances to counter any opposition. PASSIVE – Jade Rabbit Chang’e can purchase or sell items from anywhere and her Jade Rabbit companion will fetch them. When the rabbit reaches the store then returns, the transaction completes. Only one item can be purchased or sold in this way at a time. Chang’e also gains +25% movement speed with no backpedal penalty when using her dances. Crescent Moon Dance Chang’e flings a crescent moon that hits all units in its arc, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% of your magical power) magical damage to all enemies in its path. Her and her allies gain a 10/15/20/25/30 physical protection buff for 3s. Cost – 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown – 4s. Moonlit Waltz Chang’e performs an evasive spin dance, unable to be hit during the action. For each tick of damage from an ability that was avoided, Chang’e restores 20/30/40/50/60 mana to herself and her allies. Cost – 60. Cooldown – 16/14/12/10/8s. Moonflower Dance Chang’e twirls, scattering flowers around her, and healing herself and all nearby allies for 50/80/110/140/170 (+30% of your magical power). Chang’e heals herself an additional 50% for each god that she heals. Her Moonflower Dance also reduces the healing of all nearby enemies by 50% for 4s. Cost – 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown – 8s. Waxing Moon Chang’e's Waxing Moon dance is captivating, with this dance dealing 175/250/325/400/475 (+100% of your magical power) magical damage and stunning enemies in front of her 1s. Each subsequent god that is stunned is stunned for 1s longer than the previous one. Cost – 80/90/100/110/120. Cooldown – 90s. Full patch notes can be found in this thread. |
| MechWarrior Online Fights Cancer with the Canadian Cancer Society Posted: 23 Jul 2013 11:28 AM PDT Today Piranha Games and Infinite Game Publishing honor the passing of one of the youngest and most talented Canadian pilots in the Inner Sphere, five-year-old Sarah Marie Alida Parries. A custom Jenner Class Chassis Champion 'Mech, "Sarah's 'Mech", is available now (http://mwomercs.com/sarah) for pilots to purchase for $10 USD through August 20th, with 100 percent of the proceeds (after third-party transaction fees) going to the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca.) The five year old Vancouver native loved piloting the Jenner 'Mech in MechWarrior Online with her father, Jon Parries. Calling the enemy 'Mechs "baddies", she and her father dominated the Inner Sphere on a regular basis in the current Open Beta. Her favorite 'Mech chassis was the Jenner 'Mech with streak SRMs, "because she liked to move fast, lock on, and liked using night vision," according to her father.
"Sarah's passion for 'Mechs and her battle with cancer had a profound impact everyone at Piranha," said Russ Bullock, president of Piranha Games. "She was an inspiration with her passion and energy for the game and our hearts and deepest condolences go out to her family. The outpouring of heartfelt sympathy from the MechWarrior community and the support and encouragement we've received to develop this unique 'Mech has been nothing short of incredible. We have the best fans in the world."
President of Infinite Game Publishing Kelly Zmak said, "Sarah touched the hearts of everyone at IGP. We're extremely grateful for the opportunity to do something in her honor. Thank you to the Parries for working with us to make this a possibility, and our utmost gratitude to our community for supporting this endeavor."
Proceeds from the sales of Sarah's 'Mech will be kept in a running, real-time rally on www.mwomercs.com/sarah. Additionally, a dedicated web page where people will be able to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society and to equivalent internationally recognized cancer societies is now live at alongside the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Click here for more information, screenshots, video of the 'Mech in action: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/127845-sarahs-mech-frequently-asked-questions/. Sarah's 'Mech is equipped with a Sarah-themed custom exterior design (including an Inner Sphere pony!) Sarah's 'Mech also comes loaded with a 10 percent XP Boost. This is the one and only time that MechWarriors around the world can purchase this exclusive Charity 'Mech and show their support to the ongoing fight against cancer. *One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society, net of applicable Sales Taxes and third-party transaction fees such as credit card and payment processing fees. These fees typically represent less than four percent of the purchase price.

| Everquest II Darkness Dawns Preview Posted: 23 Jul 2013 10:40 AM PDT By Shannon Doyle (Leliah)
Earlier this week I got in on an exclusive press tour of the Everquest II Darkness Dawns update which is due out today. There has already been a Producer's Letter and a Follow up on it but we got to take a deeper look at everything on offer. Fabled Dungeons One of the major highlights in Darkness Dawns is new higher level versions of dungeons from the first expansion are introduced with all new loot tables to meet the higher levels required to complete the new fabled dungeons. The dungeons available include:
Scornfeather Roost Pedestal of Sky Clefts of Rujark The Djinn Master's Prism
Why were these chosen while others weren't? These are simply the best and favorite from the early years. Character Advancement Templates Players will be able to build and save templates for spending alternate ability and prestige ability points. With this 3 profiles will be available on your character and an unlimited amount on your hard drive. Don't worry though, previous alternate advancements won't disappear. Mirrors will allow for profile saving so they can be loaded into the new system.
Daily Objectives Loyalty Point Tokens can now be earned by completing daily tasks. These tasks are all simple things that are usually done just by playing normally. Completing two tasks will reward a token. These tokens can be traded for unique items. Tracking these tasks is account wide, so players won't have to worry about logging every character in every day for the reward. They are tracked at the top of the quest journal and don't take up any journal slots so tracking these objectives is neat and easy.
Personal Depots New personal depots have now been added. Players will have access to the following new depots:
Fuel Consumables Collection Ammo Food and Drink Poison and Potion Harvesting depots Arena of the Gods In the Arena of the Gods, 24 players go up against one of the 9 avatars in the game which includes the three new contested avatars which have been made available with this update. There is a lockout on rewards but you're free to practice as much as you like.
PvP Rewards PvP rewards have been given a reworking along with the introduction of new rewards. Players will find rewards are significantly cheaper than previous prices making them more accessible. There are also new armors available for purchase which will reflect the new prices. Today the servers are expected to be down for four hours while all these amazing new changes are put into place. And this really is just the surface of what Everquest II is bringing today. And none of this has even mentioned the overhanging story which continues to expand with each update. Later today players will get to dive into Darkness Dawns for themselves. Until then, all there is to do is wait and read more articles. |

| Fiesta Online Announces Thrilling New Crusader Class Posted: 23 Jul 2013 09:47 AM PDT
Today gamigo delighted millions of Fiesta Online fans with the announcement that Crusader, a brand new class of elves, will be arriving this week in the wildly popular free-to-play anime fantasy MMORPG. Not since early 2011, when Trickster was introduced, has so much excitement been seen in the Fiesta community. Unlocked at Level 60, Crusader provides experienced players an opportunity to master the powers of light with dozens of new weapons, armor and skills. These masters of swordsmanship are swift, agile, and possess stunning abilities that include slicing and dicing enemies with glowing blades and balls of light.
Legendary fighters who mysteriously disappeared from Isya long ago, Crusader now makes a triumphant return on floating ships with their fearless leader, Tiros, at the helm. To celebrate Crusader’s arrival, Fiesta Game Masters will be hosting a vast array of fun-filled, action-packed in-game events, including: Isya’s Defense – a PvE moshpit of epic proportions where players are called upon to defeat a relentless monster spawn and share in a massive loot drop.

At the end of the tour, players can test their wits at trivia for chic fashions.
 Crusader Race To The Top – See how quickly you can get from L60 to L115.
