Good video here from TheMercs showing solid group tactics and how to string out a much larger force. Also love that voice comms are included in the video, as it gives a much better view into how such a group … Continue reading →

DF:UW – In the halls of old Aradoth

Posted on May 28, 2013 by SynCaine

Darkfall: Unholy Wars takes place (I believe) 200 years after the events of Darkfall. Aventurine hasn’t done a lot with the lore, but in-game some areas reflect this more than others. The location of today’s story, the city of Aradoth, … Continue reading →

Blizzard: “Didn’t want those subs anyway”

Posted on May 9, 2013 by SynCaine

Oh look, the D3 scam subs are officially off the books, and Blizzard doesn’t have another game or bundle coming out to bundle players into a WoW sub. And I was so sure MoP would totally save WoW too… Of … Continue reading →
