In the easiest difficulty grinding experience is pretty pointless. You’re gaining levels extremely fast and can finish it quite easily without any item or level grinding required. By the time you get to Cruel (second) difficulty you should be over level 30 and you can start farming the first few areas of Act I without much trouble. Afterwards, you should always try to be at the very least the same level as monsters in a particular area otherwise progression might get difficult, especially if you prefer playing solo and not…

Powerleveling Build This build is designed for…

Read MorePath of Exile Game Systems Overview For Beginner Players

Read MorePath Of Exile Loot Guide
PoE is a complex game. After the shock and awe caused by the passive skill tree, I think the second biggest impact comes from the itemization. PoE’s economy, even at this early stage, is convoluted and involves much more than just gear. Skills are itemized, hell, even places are going to be itemized soon in the form of maps. New players are overloaded with this information, which makes it very hard to tell what is worth keeping and what is vendor trash. I think it’s important to give newcomers guidance…

In Guild Wars 2 classes are in fact called professions. There are eight different ones, each with their own unique set of abilities, mechanics, attacks, play style and roles.

Read MoreThe Secret World Strategy Guide: Kilerguides Review
Just as the other hundreds of thousands of players had no idea what they’re getting themselves into when they started playing The Secret World, chances are you’re in the same kind of trouble. Even though this is an amazing game, many MMORPG fans skipped it because it isn’t as hyped as tons of other new releases. The lack of interest means even more competition from hardcore players in game and lack of quality information you can find about this game online. Fortunately for you if you have any sort of…

Read MoreD3 Strategy Guide
Of all the hack and slash/action RPG games, Diablo is undoubtedly the most known one. Fact is, without the overwhelming success of the Diablo franchise the genre wouldn’t be nearly as popular, more so today than ever before. After a decade without another sequel from Blizzard, finally a newcomer: Diablo III. Obviously, after so many years in development the creators of the game made many improvements to D3 to make it stand out. New unique classes are introduced, skill system is revamped, each class can have hundreds of different spell…
Read MoreMassively Previews Neverwinter at PAX East 2012
An early beta version of Neverwinter Nights Online was available for play during PAX East 2012, and Massively’s Eliot Lefebvre got his hands on it and wrote a very informative article. There’s a few takeaways from the post I’d like to point out: Lore-wise, Neverwinter takes place about a century after the previous installments in the franchise, after several convenient cataclysms have altered huge chunks of the world outside the city of Neverwinter — and even inside the city limits. Players, as a result, will start at the center of…
