| The Stream Team: How many is too many edition, September 9 - 15, 2013 Posted: 09 Sep 2013 07:00 AM PDT Filed under: Events (Real-World), Game Mechanics, Massively Meta, Hands-On, Livestream, Miscellaneous, The Stream Team, Player-Generated Content  I'm going to go with the final answer. In fact, after talking to others on the Massively team, I don't really think I have a problem at all. All those games are there so we can jump in at a moment's notice and entertain you on Massively TV. It's all for the benefit of viewers. And because our HDs are so full, there are plenty of shows available to watch this next week. Take a look at the following schedule and see what tickles your fancy this time around. And because I do obviously need a bit of intervention, help select what games I uninstall next. Remember, though, doing so removes said title from my livestreaming line-up! Then share how many you have on your machine. Continue reading The Stream Team: How many is too many edition, September 9 - 15, 2013

Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming.

| MMO Week in Review: The King of the Golden Hall Posted: 08 Sep 2013 06:00 PM PDT Filed under: Massively Meta, Week in Review, Miscellaneous  Bloggers have made a sport of teasing Lord of the Rings Online for its slow and plodding pace through the books' storyline, joking that by the time our characters scale the streets of Edoras, let alone Minas Tirith, we'll be old and grey, but this week Turbine finally granted press a glimpse of the Helm's Deep expansion announced last April. That, along with promises of sales, class overhauls, and beta testing, almost distracted players from the massive server outages early on in the week. Read on for a look at the rest of our top MMO stories. Continue reading MMO Week in Review: The King of the Golden Hall

| EVE Evolved: Fitting Heavy Assault Cruisers in Odyssey 1.1 Posted: 08 Sep 2013 04:00 PM PDT Filed under: Sci-Fi, EVE Online, Classes, Expansions, Game Mechanics, Patches, PvP, Opinion, Hands-On, EVE Evolved, Guides, Sandbox  All of the HACs have been augmented with a new role bonus that reduces the signature radius penalty of activating a microwarpdrive by 50%. This may seem pretty weak, but in practice it makes the ships a lot more viable in PvP. Activating your microwarpdrive will normally increase your signature radius size by 500%, making you a hell of a lot easier to hit and increasing the damage you take from missiles. The speed boost will counteract this to some degree, but it takes a while to reach that speed, and you're very vulnerable in the interim. Reducing this to only 250% means you get all the defensive benefit of the speed increase without much of the vulnerability. In most cases, you'll actually take less damage with the microwarpdrive on than off. In this week's EVE Evolved, I put together PvP setups for the at the newly revamped Deimos, Ishtar, Cerberus, and Eagle Heavy Assault Cruisers.

I mean, it still kinda was, but this particular story had a happy ending. Star Citizen's first public-facing in-game deliverable has been live for over a week now, and for all intents and purposes it was a smashing success.
