PVS Wakfu: Chapter 2 Quick Guide

Ankama was generous to grace us with the next Chapter in the Ogrest/Zinit storyline. This storyline was the one leading and guiding us to fighting Ogrest himself. Up until now, most people didn’t even bother with this. But they decided to make Chapter One easier to access, and Chapter two is actually pretty fun.

In order to access the new Chapter Two area of Zinit, a player must have first completed Chapter One. To start Chapter One, Talk to Ullu in Astrub’s Center. To start Chapter Two, talk to Ullu In Truce Cave (the end point of Chapter One).

There are various checkpoints throughout this Chapter. Once you finish a checkpoint, you can pick up again here at a later date. Unlike Chapter one, your group enters as a group and syncs much better. Group up, and head on in. I wouldn’t recommend doing this with any less than two people (especially Checkpoint VI). Damage wise, the later checkpoints are designed for characters in their high 40s to early 50s. With the exception of Checkpoint VI, the rest of the chapter should be soloable by anything over level 70.

For a quick walkthrough of what to expect in the following Chapter, continue reading. Fair warning, there are spoilers.

Rogue Patch 1.2

PVS Wakfu: Patch 1.2 Breakdown

With another new patch (and in such a short amount of time) we get a bunch of new stuff. I think the number “1.2″ must be a staple in the MMO community, big things happen on this patch. Anyway, let’s have a quick run down of stuff from this patch. Full patch notes here.
Rogues

Rogues were introduced as a new class to the World of Twelve.
Earth spells use guns/revolvers and have some range.
Fire spells focus on bombs and doing AoE to the enemy (and you if you’re too close).
Air spells focus mainly on melee and crit, in addition to… Continue Reading

5 Cardinal Sins of Video Game Walkthroughs

Guest post by Steve from Cheat Happens.

There’s no mystery about why gamers want cheats and walkthroughs for their favorite games. Instead of getting stuck at a certain point in the game and making the same mistakes over and over, we turn to somebody who’s already done the grunt work and put helpful tips and detailed descriptions into a comprehensive walkthrough. But there’s a limit to how much we’re willing to go through to get to that information.
A badly written walkthrough is inaccurate at best and a total waste of time at worst. If you’re making any of these mistakes… Continue Reading

PVS MMO: A look at Diablo 3′s Beta Weekend

This weekend Jeff and I got a chance to try out Blizzard’s upcoming game Diablo 3. Though it’s been some time since the previous installment was released, the hype for this game is still as hot as Diablo himself.
Initial Impression:  While it has been a while since I have played Diablo II, Diablo III hold true to the feel of the previous games. It has large dungeons with lots of room to explore, allowing you to dive ever deeper into the abyss in search of evil and treasure.  
Graphics: Lots of details in and great artwork for the graphics. D3… Continue Reading

PVS The Secret World: The Secret War

FunCom has just gone ahead and released a new browser-based game/marketing gimmick that they’re calling The Secret War, in anticipation for their upcoming MMO The Secret World.

This game doesn’t do the best job of describing itself, so I’ve summed it up to make it simple (for both our sakes).

  • Link/Sign up with your Facebook account, and choose a faction.
  • Get your friends to sign up as well (propaganda).
  • For each friend that is signed up, you get to deploy them as part of your army.
  • The game works like risk based on the three factions.
  • The more armies a faction has in a location, the more chance they have to win it.
  • You get points if your army helps take over places.

It’s kind of cool, mainly because I’m a big Risk fan. But what makes it interesting for everybody else is that you can win a guaranteed beta access and even a trip to the FunCom offices. In Montreal. Anyway, sign up and play. Could be fun! Or just another addictive Facebook-related game until The Secret World is released.

PVS MMOs: The 7 Stages of MMO Gaming

In an MMO game’s life span, it will go through multiple phases as it develops. Gamers often seem to forget this before they run to the forums to complain and make negative comments. Now don’t get me wrong sometimes the game needs the hate, but only during the proper phases. Before rushing to the keyboard, make sure you understand the 7 Stages of MMO Gaming.

PVS The Secret World: Pre-Order Trailer & Info

The last few days, FunCom has released a new trailer for The Secret World as well as opened up Pre-Orders. This is the final stretch folks, the game is almost here. For those of you who haven’t spoken to myself (or the girlfriend even more than me) I’m totally excited about this game. It looks amazing, has a cool ‘thriller’ vibe in it and appeals to me more than some of the current fantasy MMOs out there.

The new trailer shows off some of the thrill aspects, that it will take place in a real-world environment and looks a little more into the secret societies of the game (which recent trailers haven’t focused on). The Pre-Order comes with a few in-game items, the ability to reserve your name, and of course: Beta Access.

PVS Wakfu: An Air-Summoner Osa Guide

PVSET: Osa GuideWakfu  If you’re completely new to Wakfu, be sure to check out the Player VS Wakfu: Introductory Guide!

I choose you, Tofu! No really, this entire class is set up to be a Pokemon master with whips. Personally I love Pokemon so I’m cool with this. You level up, catch new creatures, and use them to battle.  Unlike Pokemon though, if your pet dies he’s a goner and you need to catch a new one. If this is your cup of tea, keep on reading. If you’re more into a classical summoning roll (like the Osa in Dofus) perhaps you should try a Sadida?
