Faxion Online Launches Closed Beta

Published by admin under 73755

Have you been waiting for Faxion Online to launch its Closed Beta? Wait no longer. Today, UTV True Games has announced the launch of the closed beta of this Heaven vs. Hell PvP focused MMO, where an eternal battle in the seven deadly sins themed areas will take place.

Hell Freezes Over is the official title of the launching event, and the first batch of invites are being sent to the lucky chosen players that pre-registered. If you’re interested, you’re still in time to apply for the beta on the official website.

As stated on the press release, you’ll start your adventure in a war-torn limbo:

Upon entering the world of Faxion, players will find themselves in
war-torn limbo as they start their journey in the afterlife.  The
Seven Deadly Sins represent physical locations in the game, each with
its own immoral theme, and players will have the opportunity to
explore and discover the locations as they immerse themselves in
intense battle for the armies of Heaven or Hell.  Through each
manifestation of the Sins, players will encounter the people that
represent them. From the Gluttonous enjoying an eternal feast, to the
Prideful Atlans building their Tower into the skies, players must face
off against other inhabitants of the afterlife, limbo and the deadly
sins while vying for control of each deadly zone!

Faxion, internally developed by UTV True Games by a team of veterans of the industry, offers a PvP focused experience and a territory control system. A comical twist has been added to the formula, creating a quite unique game in its concept. Fighting other players endlessly is fun, but can be so repetitive. Adding a  good sense of humor to it, can be the key to making this game fun enough to succeed, while they polish it before final release.

Are you planning to give this game a try? Would you be good or bad? Now that Faxion Online launched Closed Beta and Hell freezes over, I wonder if the PvP focused MMO world will change. Stay tuned, we’ll tell you soon.

Que chances tendria llendo a las escuelas de idiomas en el extranjero Seguramente estes pensando asistir a una escuela de idiomas pero tengas inquietudes de invertir plata en el extranjero. En principio no se trata de un derroche sino de unacontribucion de dinero en poco tiempo. Las ventajas de un viaje al exteriror los tendras muy rapido. Piensa que estaras comuicandote con la lengua que te ensenaron en el dia. Cuando retomes el viaje a tu pais te veras beneficiado con la ventaja de estar con personas nacidas en el pais y haber estudiado un dialecto completo y correcto. Un nivel que se traducira en un mejor puesto de labor, es decir que tu paga puede ser redituada en un futuro no muy lejano.

Que posibilidades tengo llendo a las escuelas de idiomas en el extranjero? Podras alojarte con familias nativas y usar lo aprendido en las clases viendo lo que seguramente estudiaste. Esto siginifica que en tu nacion no podras aprender tan rapido como en el exterior. Trasladandote al exteriror podras estudiar mas rapido y aprender dialectos que en tu territorio no podras hacerlo. Porque permaneceras durante el tiempo que tu estipules hablando y escuchando ese lenguaje que deseas estudiar. Finalmente como resultado sabras que lo mejor es invertir a tu futuro presentandote en las escuelas de idiomas en el extranjero.

Bioware Reveals Group Missions for SWTOR

Published by admin under 73757

Bioware has recently revealed Flashpoints for Star Wars: The Old Republic. That’s the name for group missions in this game and the devs promise those missions will be challenging, being worth the run, as players will get nice loot and rewards, if they succeed.

We all know missions, quests or whatever the game calls them, are the leveling core of the current MMOs. Some of them, like Flashpoints, are designed for groups, pushing them towards difficult goals and tough enemies. What I wonder is how difficult these missions are going to be. Nowadays, with the exception of very few ones, MMOs are easy and require more planning than ability. If Bioware plans to provide real hard challenges, avid gamers, then this looks great.

Band together with your most trusted allies to undertake some of the most dangerous missions in the galaxy! Flashpoints are action-packed, story-driven adventures that test a group of players to their limits, putting them up against difficult foes in volatile situations. You and your group need your wits, your skills, and all your resources to emerge victorious. Every Flashpoint begins with an exciting story and contains difficult decisions – choose carefully, because your group’s choices have a meaningful impact on the challenges you’ll face, the enemies you’ll fight, and the outcome of the story! All the danger is certainly worthwhile; the rewards from Flashpoints are some of the most powerful you’ll find.

As a presentation, Taral V, a mid level mission, was presented along with a cool video. This mission will be part of the Flashpoint system SWTOR will feature once it comes out. Have a look and enjoy.

Continuing with the titanic effort needed to make any AAA MMO, Bioware reveals Flashpoints for SWTOR, one of the titles I really want to see released as soon as possible. Until then, I hope you enjoyed this video. For more information about this new group mission system, visit the official website.
