Blade And Soul Beta is Racist - http://clapway.com/2015/11/14/blade-and-soul-beta-is-racist123/

Blade and Soul, the latest MMORPG out of Korea, is hosting a closed beta as of November 13, and it’s incorporating cat pals to entice more players. Tester players of Blade and Soul have called the game adorable and it’s characters beautiful. Though female characters look a tad over-sexualized, would-be players should be enticed by the new game.

Blade and Soul Introduces Familiars

Familiars are the main characters’ companions, and they follow the main characters, called summoners, everywhere they go. They can transfer health from foes to themselves. This doesn’t make the game any easier, as developers declared that mastering summoner characters is quite the challenge because of their wide range of tactics and abilities.

Other Classes in Blade and Soul

Other classes that come in the latest Blade and Soul are: blade master, destroyer, force master, kung fu master, assassin, and blade dancer. This game will feature four different races: the Gon, jin, Yun and Lyn, who are characterized by animal-like ears.

The first beta of Blade and Soul happened during the weekend of Halloween, and the second closed beta begins on November 13 through November 16. Players can purchase the Founder’s Pack to pre-prder the game, and people who sign up for this can play in every beta weekend leading u to release. Blade and Soul is set to release for PC sometime in 2016.

What do you think of #Blizzard"s #WorldofWarcraft update? - http://clapway.com/2015/08/06/can-blizzards-newest-expansion-save-wow-525/

After reporting some incredibly disheartening subscription numbers on August 4, Blizzard has taken the stage today at Gamescom to annou119nce their upcoming expansion pack for World of Warcraft (WoW), the decade-long running massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG).

Introducing World of Warcraft: Legion

WoW’s last expansion, Warlords of Draenor, used time travel to lure players through an alternate timeline, and Legion appears to be what is essentially the same thing but involving the Burning Crusade.

As expected with every WoW expansion, there are a few givens:

The Broken Isles – the newest continent for players to explore

Artifacts – the new “system” that allows players to customize weapons; letting them grow in power as players level up.

New World Bosses

Reworked PvP

Improved transmogrification system

Improved social features

New class-specific Order Halls and followers

New dungeons and raids

Perhaps the biggest change to the game is the introduction of the Demon Hunter, which is a new playable hero class (sounds familiar, doesn’t it?).

The Demon Hunter

Blizzard fans will immediately want to start making comparisons to the Demon Hunter class in Diablo III, but they should stop there. The Demon Hunter class in WoW is similar in name alone. Blizzard describes the class as an “elven outcast” who was shunned for harnessing the power of the Legion, but they look like smaller versions of Illidan Stormrage.

Demon Hunters have the ability to double-jump, perform gliding attacks, see with “magically augmented sight, metamorph into fel forms, and, well, that’s about all we know so far.

World of Warcraft Subscribers Down to 5.6 Million

During Blizzard’s Q2 earnings call for 2015, the company mentioned that subscriptions had fallen to just 5.6 million — down from the 7.1 million subscribers reported in Q1. Some of the biggest complaints coming from players revolves around reliance on uninteresting raids, a broken PvP system, and too much focus on repeatable content.

Looking through the highlight reel from today’s announcement didn’t instill a sense of confidence in a lot of gamers. The ability to play as a demon hunter is pure fan service, replacing garrisons with class orders doesn’t seem to change the focus, and Blizzard was quiet on details revolving around how they were planning to revamp WoW’s broken PvP system.

Blizzard really needed to shift WoW in a different direction, but Legion sounds like it’s more of the same, though that still remains to be seen.
