Carbine Studios: You missed one!

Carbine Studios, I’m making it publicly known that I’d love to test WildStar!

I’ve been testing and evaluating MMORPG’s for around (9) years. My recent impact with Mists of Pandaria’s Monk class help bring “Fistweaving” to light via livestreaming which is now a well known way of playing a Mistweaver in the PVE scene.

Providing feedback and helping polish these massive worlds for release is something I take great pride in.  If you would like to contact me, use any of the following ways listed here!

Nexus HQ: Are you excited for WildStar?

Posted in Featured, Home, Slide, Wildstar | Leave a comment

Welcome to Nexus HQ, a segment of EndGameTactics.com that is devoted to bringing you WildStar news!

Developed by Carbine Studios, a development branch of NcSoft, WildStar is an upcoming MMO that is set to release within the third or forth quarter of 2013 with a Stress Test in the coming weeks.

I’ve been following this game since its announcement in 2011 and was immediately in intrigued by the way it looked and its combat style.  With little information in the pipeline, It fell off my radar till I discovered their official YouTube channel!

Now if you’ve been following me on Twitch.TV or have been following our previous posts, you’ve heard me mention time and time again that I’ve been in the search for something to bring a breath of fresh air to my MMORPG experience.

WildStar has a fresh idea, blending Sci-fi and Fantasy with a cartoon-ish like art style to really take it over the top for those looking for something new, to break away from the normal Dungeons and Dragons genre that we’ve become too accustomed to over the years.

Posted in Everquest II, Featured, Home | Leave a comment

 

I’m proud to announce our EverQuest II New Players Guide, “Apprentice’s Handbook“!

I’ve been scouring the internet for a guide when I started jumping back into Norrath and I just couldn’t find it. I took it upon myself to give you everything you need to know(aside from class specifics) to start your journey correctly. I’m very proud of how this turned out and it took so much trial and error to get it working correctly. Enjoy and please, bookmark it. :)

Defiance Coverage at EGT!

Posted in Defiance, Featured, Home | Leave a comment

I’ve been very skeptical of this new science fiction themed MMO shooter from Trion Worlds.

Any MMO after “World of Warcraft” released and dominated the market, a large number of companies tried to use their formula and tried to profit from what players were familiar with and ultimately, failed. Now there is something that I’ve been saying from forum board, website and our official Twitch.TV, we need a serious change in MMO’s.

EQ2: Upcoming Changes for Free and Silver Members

Posted in Everquest II, Featured, Home | Leave a comment

David Georgeson, Director of Development for the Everquest Franchise released some insane news today that caught the eye of websites everywhere. Sony Online Entertainment continues to impress with their moves to draw people into playing their MMORPGs, regardless of their age.

From Everquest II:

Hi there, Norrathians!

You may not realize it, but we talk about you all the time. All day, every day, we dream up ways to make these games better for you, the loyal players and fans of Norrath.

EverQuest and EverQuest II have both been running as free-to-play games for a good chunk of time now. We’ve learned a lot while that’s been happening, and we can make things better for you.

So, we’re going to take out a bunch of the free-to-play restrictions that you’re used to as a Free or Silver player. Why? Because we want you to play more of the game without restriction. We think that letting you play more of the game lets you learn to love Norrath and gives you more chances to connect with the community and make friends.
