[VIDEO] Secret World Legends’ New Combat System
The latest video from Secret World Legends is out, showcasing how the reticle-based combat will function and giving a sneak peek into new weapon mechanics. Secret World Legends opens to the public on June 26. As far as changes go, combat is shaping up to be the most dramatic shift from the current Secret World system.
Watch: Black Desert Online Naval Update
Kakao Games has shown a glimpse of the exciting upcoming naval content that will be added to Black Desert Online in Q4 of this year. This free expansion will raise the bar of what is possible in current day MMORPGs.
The update will expand the already massive world of Black Desert and introduce new gameplay features. Players will venture out on the sea for exploration, establish trade routes, seek treasure, hunt monsters and experience full-scale naval warfare.
Gloria Victis Balances Combat
Gloria Victis is tweaking combat once again, this week shortening the distance between new and experienced players. Players will find upon logging in that weapon damage has been adjusted as well as health scaling and passive abilities to ensure that higher level players won’t just roll over fresh accounts.
Other aspects of the game have been simplified, including the woodworking process, allowing for a more user-friendly interface to teach players how to craft their first weapons. Cost of resources has also been reduced for basic swords.
You can find the entirety of the patch notes at the link below.

Deadman Polling Death/Combat Changes
Jagex has announced that notable changes to Deadman mode will be coming in a future content poll. The latest developer diary details a number of content additions to be added in the upcoming player poll, including additions and tweaks to the recently released Zeah continent. Among the changes, however, are two key tweaks for Deadman Mode content. The first, whether the community will approve of new players receiving a six hour grace period during which they cannot be attacked. The second, whether or not killing a player more than forty levels below you will no longer generate a bank key.
Other Deadman updates include a timer on login similar to that found in pvp worlds, the ability to obtain dragon claws as a very rare drop from dragons, and adding pvp armor to wilderness boss drops. Voting opens soon.

RuneScape Legacy Mode Detailed
Back in February, Jagex revealed details on the upcoming Legacy Mode for RuneScape, aiming to bring back players who weren’t happy with the Evolution of Combat update. Legacy Mode allows players to enjoy the modern RuneScape with much of the old systems still in place, including bringing back the old combat system and special attacks.
Legacy Mode isn’t a complete return to 2011, but it does remove the combat bar and abilities and return the old interface and special attacks. XP rates and damage output won’t be exactly the same as you get in the live game. Servers will be formatted to work with both styles, with worlds specifically for legacy mode players.
Jagex hopes to implement Legacy Mode in several phases leading through the summer.

Preview Upcoming RuneScape Combat Update
The beta for RuneScape’s upcoming combat change is just a few weeks away, but you can get a short preview by watching the above video. The combat preview starts about one and a half minutes into the video, and does not show any of the new interfaces or the combat ability bar, but does showcase several moves players will be able to unleash once the update goes live.
Check it out above. If you haven’t had a chance, sign up for the RuneScape combat beta, set to begin later this month.
Summer 2012: Beta Test New RuneScape Combat System
Remember that major combat overhaul I’ve been talking about? Earlier this month, Jagex’s Mark Gerhard revealed that the update is coming late in the summer. In fact, the update is going to be such a significant change to RuneScape, the largest since RuneScape made a major engine update in 2004, that Jagex has seen fit to perform a public beta test at the end of June.
As this is such a significant evolution of the game, we’ll be running our first ever BETA test, starting in the week commencing with the 25th of June. We value your input, and we know you are the best people to tell us what works and what doesn’t.
This is rather interesting, as the last time Jagex held a public beta was when RuneScape transitioned to RuneScape 2 back in 2004.
Next week we’ll be sharing many more details and how to get access to the Beta test, so check back in with us and be ready to mark your calendars for the big day!
