#Smite ranked gameplay
Note
Which servants do you think would play Mobile Games? (like Gacha, Idol games, Candy Crush, Fruit Ninja)
Gachas and Gacha-Adjacents
(don't spend money on gacha)
Tomoe Gozen
Despite being a #gamer, she wouldn't play most mobile games due to them, generally speaking, having pretty unskilled gameplay (unless some piece of canon I'm not remembering smites me down.) However, given all the hyper-intense Arknights blogging I've seen, Tomoe would be entranced by crunching numbers and solving her little military puzzles with her units. Also, she'd be into catgirls, and whatever the hell the Doctor has got going on with that scientist woman who hates them.
Blackbeard
tries all of them. even the bad ones. ...especially the bad ones.
has one of those AI Waifu apps.
Fusehime, Okita, Ushiwakamaru
Touken Ranbu players (the sword boy game). Ushiwakamaru nerds out about the history of the swords, Fusehime is a #collector, and Okita just likes the simple gameplay of mowing down people with her prettyboy units. Nobunaga also plays, trying to piss Okita off with her luck in forging boys, but Okita genuinely loves the low-rarity units so it's only half-way effective.
Shuten-Douji
Shuten plays a gacha game where all of the waifus are humanizations of alcohol. She's spent well over a thousand dollars trying to get Aged Red Wine, who's a milf that looks like Raikou. Don't question why.
Jalter
Plays one of the more lore-heavy gacha games. Whales for her favorites and writes intense meta posts. She's very insistent that this is just the natural course of things.
Gilles
Isn't huge into gachas generally, but he'll pick up whatever game has a Jeanne expy (or, because he considers Saber-faces to be 'Jeanne faces', Saber expies) to roll for the girl in question, max levels her, and then drops the game.
Valkyries
They play Obey Me and other Shall We Date games to debate over the best boys.
Kama
Gets invested in one hot girl in one game and her money is gone. The girl in question has glasses and a turtleneck like Medusa's casual form.
Gilgamesh
Plays gacha games with ranking and pvp elements like Epic Seven to lord his units over the plebs. Is also a pull streamer. A lot of his clips go viral, and the atmosphere of his streams are very fun.
Other Phone Games
Nobunaga
Downloads one of those 'We're under fucking attack!' games. Nero is the woman in the ad.
Helena
A daily wordle girlie. Shares her scores on Servantgram with Sherlock.
MHXX
Plays Angry Birds on her break.
Miss Crane and Phantom
Idol games. They're friends over it.
Nero and Elizabeth
They compete in rhythm games to get higher scores than each other.
Osakabahime
Plays mobile fortnite on her bed.
Chloe and Emiya also play, but Emiya gets dumpstered by the other two.
Iyo
Plays Stardew on her phone. Likes showing other Servants and her Master her farm layout and progress.
The Paladins
Collectively have an old iPhone 8 that still has flappy bird on it that they pass around. It's beaten to shit but still kicking.
Paul Bunyan
Needs to use the largest I-Pad ever, but she plays pretty basic Facebook-esque games like Candy Crush. In her Alt form, she posts game scores for likes.
Kintoki
Jetpack Joyride and the Hello Kitty games.
Author Servants
Hans gets them all into phone scrabble. They keep getting collectively mad at Shakespeare because he cheats and tries to make new words.
anderson voice: dumas that word is not allowed in scrabble
dumas: but it's a word in FRENCH
Ptolomey dominates
Among Us
The child servants generally play Among Us together, once it gets popular in Chaldea.
Jack: Loves to be the imposter because murder is fun! Pretty bad at keeping her identity hidden, though. LOVES the little hats.
Nursery Rhyme: Sees it as a game of Hide and Seek. Fails at being the imposter and doing tasks.
Jalter Lily: Does tasks, is decent at being the imposter. A generalist.
Voyager: Very good at doing tasks. Hates being the imposter.
Erice: Terrible at Among Us, but wants to play to hang out with Voyager. She gets really upset about losing, though. This genuinely affects her self-confidence.
Mephistopheles: Plays with the children. Pretends to be the imposter even if he's not.
Douman: Also plays with the children. Generally pretty wretched to Meph, but is a good and fun player otherwise. Hams up being the evil villain when they're shot out of the air-lock.
Pokemon Go
Achilles
Da Vinci Lily with Goredolf
Erice with Voyager
Iskander with the very specific intention of conquering the world and catching a Pokemon in every city he conquers. Waver cannot keep up with him, so Iskander would -- in the hypothetical world-conquering scenario -- get one of those phone holders and drive the car real slow to help him catch Pokemon.
Guda is a shiny hunter.
Carmilla gets all the dogs, eventually branching out into other Dark types (with the occasional cute animal.) Defends her team's gym with a massively overpowered Houndoom.
Bakin has a full dog team
Rakou has a teddiursa she named Kintoki. Kintoki would catch Raikou a Raikou. Gotta do things for your momma!
Michi teaches Izou how to use a phone so he can have his little Pokemon.
Sei plays with the girl gang (Suzuka, Nobbu, Okita, etc. Murasaki is dragged along too.)
Honorable Mentions
Beni Enma
Doesn't play phone games, but does have a DS and 10,000 hours in the cooking mama games and their offshoots collectively.

WoW and FFXIV WoW and FFXIV: Boosted Raptr Playtime And ArcheAge Playtime "cratered"
Another Raptr report for another month. Yesterday Raptr.com released its top PC games list for November and MMOs did rather well. Unsurprisingly, World of Warcraft was able to climb up the list to second place due to the Warlords of Draenor expansion. Raptr's press release states that "The game's monthly playtime was up 71% versus October." Even though WoW "likely" drew from League of Legends' numbers however, it wasn't able to take over the MOBA's number one spot.
ArcheAge playtime fell by 39.97 percent, however World of Tanks (and Final Fantasy XIV) saw increases in theirs. Raptr says that Guild Wars 2 rose in rank but lost playtime in November over October. SWTOR has fallen two places since October.
Raptr roundups are subject to the condition that they only represent Raptr users on desktop computers. Some MMO studios also employ in-game rewards to boost Raptr numbers. But since some of these games refuse to publish data on population and you can call this the next best snapshot of popularity other than navigating the servers yourself.
[Source: Raptr press release which we're putting here] Top Played PC Games November 2014 --- Dragon Age, Call of Duty debut, World of Warcraft revived
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Dragon Age: Inquisition made their debuts in the Most Played List this month. World of Warcraft's most recent expansion gave the MMO an increase in popularity after ten years. Spider Solitaire also made a surprising return to the top 20 after an absence of a while. The guilty parties know who they are.
Highlights
League of Legends remained in first place in November despite losing 15.88% of playtime when compared to October. Following the sale on Halloween it reached its peak at the middle of the month. While the game's gameplay was steady for most of the month however, the 4.20 update brought lengthy queues that greatly affected playtime.
World of Warcraft's Warlords of Draenor likely took time away from LoL and other major games. The monthly play time of the MMO was up 71.3 percent over October. As is expected, daily play time was affected by the expansion and the game's 10 year anniversary events. It roughly doubled after Draenor was launched, and continued to grow until the end of November.
The other top five games weren't as fortunate. DOTA 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Smite saw a net decrease in hours. Smite beat ArcheAge for the fifth position. DOTA 2 and CS.GO saw double-digit drops (12.49 percent and 11.59% respectively), but Smite dropped less than one percent.
Archeage however, was shattered by 39.97 percent, which is why Smite's small climb to the top of the list.
The downward trend continued with Minecraft (-11.70 percent), Diablo III (down nearly 45% -We blame WoW for this) and Hearthstone (-13.11 percent, but we expect a rebound in December, thanks to Goblins vs Gnomes).
Chart newcomer Dragon Age, Inquisition, landed in tenth position despite a release in November.
While sliding down the ranks, World of Tanks managed to increase 7.72 percent of playtime in comparison to October. While the WGLNA Gold League Qualifying rounds were held throughout the month the game was at its highest during Thanksgiving weekend, due to XP multipliers as well as holiday discounts on premium items.
Final Fantasy XIV saw a 20.97% increase in the amount of time played. The increase could be due to late October and early November hotfixes to the game, and the release of the Game of the Year edition that offered additional 60 free days of adventure (plus all the previously released content). Mid-month DDOS attacks that caused login issues, did not have a major impact on game play.
Warframe and Guild Wars 2 each rose in popularity despite losing playtime in November, compared to October. Warframe held a Movember community event that led to an Guinness World Record. Guild Wars 2's Tangled Path content released with new areas, items, skins and more.
Call of Duty: Advance Warfare -- always more of an Xbox-based juggernaut was released in the first week of November, and based on current trends we may not be able to see it in December's Top Played.
For the first time since October 2013, Spider Solitaire made its way back into Most Played. Free 51 It is now clear that Thanksgiving isn't only about turkey, football and arguing with your family- it's also about Solitaire. The 27th of November was the peak day for Solitaire games.
Note The Share number for each game is the amount of time devoted to that game by Raptr members. It is useful to assess the relative playing time between games.

WoW and FFXIV WoW and FFXIV: The Game has been Boosted Raptr Playtime; ArcheAge Playtime "cratered"
Another Raptr report for another month. Yesterday Raptr.com published its most played PC games list for November, and MMOs performed quite well. The Warlords of Draenor expansion has seen World of Warcraft climb to #2 on the list. Raptr's press release says that "The MMO's monthly playtime increased 71% compared to October." While WoW "likely" took its cues from League of Legends' numbers but it didn't quite take over the MOBA's #1 seat.
ArcheAge playtime decreased by 39.97 percent, however World of Tanks (and Final Fantasy XIV) saw increases in theirs. Raptr says that Guild Wars 2 rose in rank, but it lost playtime in November over October. SWTOR fell two places in October.
As with all roundups, Raptr roundups come with the caveat that they're based on Raptr users on PCs not all gamers. Some MMO studios are also known to boost their Raptr numbers with in-game incentives. The games might not release information about their player base, so you might consider this to be the most reliable indicator of the game's popularity, aside from a tour of the servers.
[Source: Raptr press release, which we're including below] Most Played PC Games: November 2014 -The release of Dragon Age and Call of Duty debut, World of Warcraft resurgent
Dragon Age: Inquisition and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare were the first games to appear on the top ten list of most played games this month. World of Warcraft's newest expansion has given the MMO a boost after a ten-year absence. Spider Solitaire also made an unexpected return to the top 20 after many years of absence. The culprits know who they are.
Highlights
League of Legends remained in the top spot in November despite losing 15.88 percent of its playtime in comparison to October. The game reached its peak at the beginning of the month after the Halloween sales event. While gameplay remained steady throughout most of the month however, the 4.20 update brought with it queues that were long and impacted play time.
World of Warcraft's Warlords of Draenor likely took time from LoL along with other major games. The average monthly time spent playing the MMO was up 71.3% over October. As was expected the expansion and the 10 years of anniversary events for the game have significantly affected daily playtime and nearly doubled after the launch of the Draenor expansion, and continued to increase through the close of November.
The other top five games weren't as fortunate. DOTA 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Smite saw an increase in the time. Smite beat ArcheAge for fifth. DOTA 2 and CS.GO had double-digit declines (12.59% and 11.59% respectively) however Smite dropped less than 1%.
Archeage In contrast, it was cut by 39.97%; hence Smite's modest rise to the top of the list.
The downward trend continued with Minecraft (-11.70%), Diablo III (down almost 45% -- we blame WoW for this), and Hearthstone (-13.11%, though we expect a rebound to come in December due to Goblins against Gnomes).
Chart newcomer Dragon Age: Inquisition made a strong entrance into November's Most Played, finishing in the top ten despite a late November release.
While sliding down the ranks, World of Tanks managed to increase 7.72 percent play time when in comparison to October. While the WGLNA Gold League Qualifying rounds happened throughout the month, play time was at its peak during Thanksgiving weekend, due to XP multipliers as well as holiday deals on premium products.
Final Fantasy XIV saw a 20.97 percent increase in playing time. The increase could be due to the late-October and early November hotfixes for the game, and the release of the Game of the Year edition which offered an additional 60 days of adventure (plus all the previously released content). Play time was not affected by mid-month DDOS attacks which caused login problems.
Warframe and Guild Wars 2 each rose in popularity, despite losing play time in November compared to October. Warframe held a Movember community event that resulted in a Guinness World Record. https://hbl.info/ Guild Wars 2's Tangled Path content released with new areas and skins, items and much more.
Call of Duty: Advance Warfare is always an Xbox-based juggernaut launched in early November and based on current trends we might not see it in December's Most Played.
For the first time since October 2013, Spider Solitaire made its way back into Most Played. It turns out that Thanksgiving isn't only about football, turkey and arguing with your family- it's also about Solitaire. The 27th of November was the hottest day for Solitaire gameplay.

Am I ranking random Zelda things on those tier maker things? Yes, yes I am. So I’m putting them below because why not? I’m already looking at these tiers I ranked things on, wanting to move things around because I disagree with myself. I added a tier or two on mine, but otherwise, I linked all of the list things in case anyone wants to do this too!
There are a lot of pictures if you click keep reading.
~~~~~~~~~
Favorite Zelda Games (based half on literal gameplay, and half on story, because this list gets very different if it’s just one or the other)
~~~~~~~~~
Link’s Literal Design (heavily edited this one to give it more tiers. Don’t smite me, but I’m not the biggest toon Link fan)
~~~~~~~~~
Zelda’s Literal Design (this was hard. She needs more options in here too, and her art looks different than her renders often, but I digress)
~~~~~~~~~
Zelda’s with the most Agency (I have thoughts, but I’ll refrain)
~~~~~~~~~
Favorite 3D Bosses (Based half on concept/design, and half on how much I dislike a level. *SS SPOILERS IF YOU LOOK CLOSE/CLICK)
~~~~~~~~~
Hardest to Easiest/Weakest BOTW Enemies
(I despise those WRETCHED AOC hyped up wizrobes, I hate keese, I hate electricity, and I hate chu chus, so you’ll notice them disproportionately high, let me just throw that out there. I also think I put a bokoblin in the wrong place, and idk where the gold monsters are, but most of them get A/B tier rankings)

Mulan’s Visuals
This goddess had a clear visual direction from the start. She is a human, dating from the Northern Wei period of China, 386 to 345 AD. We focused on her human aspect and her history to develop this visual direction.
To fit with these goals, we placed some strict limitations on Mulan’s appearance. She would not have any magic or floating elements that SMITE gods often have. She should have reasonable human proportions, which made her shorter than most other Warriors.
Lots of research was done on the weapons and armor of the Northern Wei. This was used as a foundation for her kit and appearance. We took this as a foundation and added strong fantasy visual elements to create armor fitting for a new goddess.
Mulan’s defining feature is her skill. She is trained in many methods of combat and multiple different weapons. Her kit and visuals are designed to reflect this. She holds multiple weapons or switches quickly between them. She wields a sword for her basic attacks, while each of her abilities uses a different weapon. All three of these weapons can be seen in the various art forms we use for SMITE gods.
The Jian, a straight sword, is her primary weapon. In Chinese folklore it is known as “The King of Weapons”
The Qiang, a spear commonly used in the battles of her era, known for its red ribbon or tassels attacked just below the blade.
Finally, Mulan was specifically mentioned to be a skilled archer, so she also wields a bow.
Mulan’s unique gameplay features are:
Mulan’s three core abilities have a new concept to power them up: Skill
These abilities can be ranked up per level, but they also gain new components based on their Skill level.
Each ability is symbolized by its own unique weapon, and has its own individual Skill level
Skill increases as Mulan successfully damages enemies with each ability
Her three weapons are her sword, spear, and bow
Her Ultimate features the use of all three of her weapons in a cinematic combo attack, and can raise Skill for all of them
This aspect symbolizes her rising to god status in every match of SMITE, and gives a common theme to focus her entire kit around
She also has a unique movement ability that allows her to shoot enemies and pull them toward her, OR shoot walls and pull herself to them if she has the skill to do so.

5e Garen, the Might of Demacia build (League of Legends)
(Artwork from Legends of Runeterra, made by Riot Games because Garen’s default artwork sucks)
Okay look I wanted to make a simple build for once. You try making half a dozen Bards and Rangers and you’ll want to just spin-to-win too. I’d have to make Garen eventually so I’m taking a quick field day.
GOALS
We are the vanguard - Garen’s a big wall, if the wall had a spinning sword and screamed “DEMACIA!” at you.
Stay resolute - When the going gets tough we’ll need to be able to tough it out.
In the King’s name - This is probably the first time I’m making a build with a limitation in mind: no mana and no magic. Because yes: summoning a giant sword from the sky isn’t magic.
RACE
No magical races either… that’s why we’re going with Eberron races! Okay look cut me some slack Garen clearly has magical abilities, and this is the easiest way to get around the “no magic” clause without getting funky. Anyways the Mark of the Sentinel Human is perfect for a knight of what’s right! Your Constitution score increases by 2 and your Wisdom increases by 1, and you have Sentinel’s Intuition to add a d4 to any Insight or Perception check. You also get a language of your choice and Celestial makes sense for a Demacian good boy.
But most importantly you have the Courage to cast Guardian’s Shield, replicating the effects of the Shield spell (because it is the Shield spell) once per Long Rest. You are also a Vigilant Guardian, letting you use your reaction to take the damage for an ally within 5 feet of you. “We fight for those who cannot.”
ABILITY SCORES
15; STRENGTH - Garen’s a big burly dude in big burly armor who spins around with a big burly sword.
14; CONSTITUTION - Garen’s main role is that of a tank and he’s known for health regeneration and just generally being tough to kill.
13; WISDOM - Mostly to balance out the +1 from our race.
12; CHARISMA - Garen’s essentially a Paladin but not in the D&D sense because D&D Paladins have magic, and of course we can’t have magic in this build even if summoning a giant sword from the sky would make sense for a Divine Smite.
10; DEXTERITY - Mobility in League is mostly tied to your choice of footwear but Garen’s a slow, chunky lad.
8; INTELLIGENCE - Garen is about as simple as his gameplay and trust me: this is coming from a guy who plays Garen in the jungle.
BACKGROUND
Guys. I don’t think you know this but… Garen’s a Soldier. As a Soldier you get proficiency in Athletics, Intimidation, Land Vehicles, and a Gaming set of your choice. (Pick your fancy.) But more importantly you have a Military Rank: fellow soldiers will grant respect to the Crownguard name, and you can request use of military supplies as needed. The might of Demacia helps all vanquish evil! Unless you’re a mage…
(Artwork by Riot Games)
THE BUILD
LEVEL 1 - FIGHTER 1
I hope you weren’t expecting anything exciting from this build! Fighters get two skills from the Fighter list: Perception will help you spot incoming ganks and Survival will help you survive top lane. You also get a Fighting Style to boost your combat capabilities and Defense will make you just a little bit harder to kill thanks to your armor runes. Finally Second Wind will let you recover health equal to a d10 plus your Fighter level once per short or long rest, for some Perseverance in the heat of battle.
LEVEL 2 - FIGHTER 2
Second level Fighters get Action Surge, letting them take one additional action on their turn once per Short or Long Rest. Garen’s Q counts as an autoattack reset so maybe that’s what you’re doing?
LEVEL 3 - FIGHTER 3
Time for the single biggest decision you’ll make as a Fighter, mostly because it’s the only decision you’ll make as a Fighter: your choice of Martial Archetype shapes how you’ll fight. Will you be a sturdy Champion? A crafty Battlemaster? Or a I-am-not-allowed-to-use-magic all-the-magic-subclasses?
This may come as a surprise but I’m going to suggest you go for Cavalier. You may think that Cavalier is a mounted combat subclass thanks to Born to the Saddle which makes mounted combat easier but in fact your biggest strength is Unwavering Mark: when you strike a foe with your sword you apply a mark to them, giving them disadvantage to hit anyone other than you if you’re within 5 feet of them.
What’s more is that if they do damage someone other than you while marked you can give them a Decisive Strike as a Bonus Action on your next turn. You have advantage with this Bonus Action attack, and the attack does extra damage equal to half your Fighter level. You can only use this attack a number of times equal to your Strength modifier, and regain all uses at the end of a Long Rest.
Oh and you also get a Bonus Proficiency: Garen’s a handsome young man so it only makes sense that he knows a bit of Persuasion magic. WAIT NO MAGIC FU-
LEVEL 4 - FIGHTER 4
4th level Fighters get an Ability Score Improvement and I’m actually going to bend the rules a tiny bit: the Fighting Initiate feat is an Unearthed Arcana feat that will let you get any Fighting Style of your choice. However that’s all it does, and almost everyone I’ve talked to agrees that it’s far too weak for a Feat so talk to your DM to see if you can also let it increase your Strength score by 1. (If they say no IDK take Athlete or something.)
Regardless Garen uses a large sword that he wields with two hands so I’d call that a Greatsword: take Great Weapon Fighting (the Fighting Style, not the feat) to reroll 1s and 2s with your Greatsword’s attacks!
LEVEL 5 - FIGHTER 5
5th level Fighters get an Extra Attack, letting them attack twice instead of once with their action. Don’t worry this class only gets more exciting as you get more levels.
(Artwork by Riot Games)
LEVEL 6 - FIGHTER 6
6th level Fighters get another Ability Score Improvement: more Strength means harder hits and more extra attacks thanks to your mark.
LEVEL 7 - FIGHTER 7
As a 7th level Cavalier you get Warding Maneuver. If you or an ally within 5 feet are hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction for some Courage. Roll a d8 and add it to the target’s AC: if the attack is a miss then they take no damage, but if it hits regardless they only take half damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier and you regain all expended uses at the end of a Long Rest, so be sure to Persevere!
LEVEL 8 - FIGHTER 8
All classes get an Ability Score Improvement at 8th level, including Fighters! For the most Decisive of Strikes cap off your Strength score!
LEVEL 9 - FIGHTER 9
9th levels get one use of Indomitable. If you fail a saving throw you can choose to reroll it, but you only get to do it once per Long Rest.
I wouldn’t really recommend using your Indomitable rerolls on anything other than Strength or Constitution. Even if it’s unlikely you’ll fail those saves, it’s also really unlikely you’ll succeed saves in other areas.
LEVEL 10 - FIGHTER 10
So there’s this feat called Sentinel… you’re not getting it at this level but you are getting Hold the Line as a Cavalier, which uh…
Creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they move 5 feet or more while within your reach, and if you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the current turn.
Yeah it’s Sentinel. Remember that you are probably using a Greatsword so your Reach is only 5 feet, and that you only have one Reaction per turn to either use an opportunity attack or your Warding Maneuver.
LEVEL 11 - FIGHTER 11
Hey you know what’s more fun than two attacks per turn? Three! At level 11 Fighters can attack 3 times with their Attack action thanks to another Extra Attack!
(Artwork by Riot Games)
LEVEL 12 - FIGHTER 12
Hey you know what’s fun? More Ability Score Improvements! With your Strength maxed out Constitution will give you more Courage to defend yourself and your allies as well as more health.
LEVEL 13 - FIGHTER 13
13th level Fighters can use Indomitable twice per Long Rest. Yup that’s it. Twice the power but you’re still playing Garen.
LEVEL 14 - FIGHTER 14
What rhymes with Soliloquy You’re Amusement and gives you more Constitution? That’s right it’s an Ability Score Improvement! Enjoy your maxed out CON mod.
LEVEL 15 - FIGHTER 15
I always love these builds because the abilities you level first in League are the last ones you get in D&D. At level 15 you finally get Decisive Strike thanks to Ferocious Charger. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line right before attacking a creature and you hit it they must succeed on a Strength save or be knocked prone, which is like being silenced.
You can use this feature only once on each of your turns but it’s still something you can use every turn! And it even works while mounted! Not that Garen rides a mount… but you could…
(Artwork by Riot Games)
LEVEL 16 - FIGHTER 16
🎼 It’s fun to get the A, B, I L ity I M P rovements! 🎶
But with a maxed out Strength and Constitution it’s finally time to smite some mages. The Mage Slayer feat lets you use your reaction to attack someone casting a spell within 5 feet, gives enemies disadvantage on Concentration checks when you damage them, and gives you advantage against spells cast on you within 5 feet.
Truthfully while I’m putting this feat at the end of the build feel free to grab it whenever you feel it necessary, or possibly even not at all! The Tough feat is another great one if you want to be more tanky, as is Great Weapon Master to do more damage to all enemies instead of just pesky mages.
LEVEL 17 - FIGHTER 17
17th level Fighters get a third use of Indomitable, but more importantly you get a second use of Action Surge! You can only Action Surge once per round but you can still spin-to-win twice with 6 attack in a turn. And that isn’t even including your potential Bonus Action attacks!
LEVEL 18 - FIGHTER 18
Your final Cavalier ability is Vigilant Defender.
So you know how you have way too many reactions, what with both Warding Maneuver and Hold the Line? Don’t you wish you could make an Attack of Opportunity, I dunno: every turn? Well you can make an Attack of Opportunity every turn now. You can’t use your “normal” reaction (IE Warding Maneuver) reaction in the same turn, but you can still strike anyone who comes near.
LEVEL 19 - FIGHTER 19
Final Ability Score Improvement so grab your last Feat:
The Tough feat is another great one if you want to be more tanky, as is Great Weapon Master to do more damage to all enemies instead of just pesky mages.
LEVEL 20
Well what do you think it is?
FIGHTER 20
20th level Fighters can attack 4 times in one turn with their attack action. Yup you have three Extra Attacks! That means you can get up to 8 attacks in a round with your Action Surge! DEMACIAAAAAAAAAA!
FINAL BUILD
PROS
The scoundrels will pay - Wow who would’ve guessed that a level 20 Fighter would be good at fighting? Four attacks per turn with (ideally) a 2d6 weapon, along with attacks from Unwavering Mark and the ridiculous amount of Opportunity Attacks you get thanks to Vigilant Defender. And of course two uses of Action Surge in a pinch.
Our courage must never waver - So it turns out maxed out Constitution makes you tanky? Well over 200 health along with Second Wind to bump you back in the fight, not to mention Shield and Warding Maneuver to block incoming attacks.
We fight for those who cannot - You truly are a hero of the people; blocking hits for your allies and even being able to take the damage for them in a pinch. Warding Maneuver and Vigilant Guardian will keep the people safe while Hold the Line will let you, well, hold the line.
CONS
Charge! - You are designed purely for land combat with very little mobility to get you where you need to be. This is fine when everyone is on equal playing field but introduce one flying enemy and you’re in for a lot of trouble.
No matter your numbers, I will not yield - Even with Vigilant Defender you’re seriously overloaded on reactions, most of which come from your race.
You think me rigid. Single-minded. Predictable - Even with three Indomitable rerolls your skills are incredibly sub-par, meaning frequent failed saves against spells (if you aren’t in Mage Slayer range) and not a lot of utility outside of combat.
But that’s “make a generic Human Fighter” off my checklist for this account. Hopefully this shows that the most simple of characters can still be fun with the right roleplay. Or not. Regardless you can always have fun standing in the middle of a crowd spinning a giant sword around as you scream “DEMACIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

If your setup meets only the minimum requirements. League of Legends for Mac OS X 10.10 freeware download. The download should start automatically in a few seconds. If it doesn't, click here to start the download process manually. Would you like to receive announcements about new League of Legends for Mac OS X.
League of Legends is one of the most popular MOBAs to arrive on Mac, with thousands of players battling each other across the globe every day. However, Mac players do suffer from one disadvantage when compared to their Windows or Linux friends — smooth performance. Macs have fewer game-oriented video cards in the beginner to intermediate models, which could mean lower frames per second (FPS) rate for many players.
You can be sure that in the middle of a gank, solo fight, or rax, every frame counts. Smooth performance can be the difference between landing a stun, using an item, or helping your teammates in a split-second. When the stakes are high, don’t let slow performance and lag drag you down.
Why Is League Of Legends Slow On My Mac?
League of Legends is one of the easier MOBAs to run thanks to a lightweight graphics engine and a smart team of engineers at Riot games. However, the load on your Mac can become fairly high as the match progresses. Champions level up and have more skills. They earn more money and have more items. In a late-game group fight, your Mac is processing so many actions at once that it can bog down the framerate. On top of this, your internet connection has to send all of this data to the server and back so that everyone is on the same page.
Between the infamous League of Legends slow motion bug and even some issues with League of Legends slow updates, optimizing your Mac is more important than ever to winning your next game.
1. Disable shadows
One of the most demanding graphical components in the League of Legends engine is the shadow processing engine. It renders the shadow of every champion, tree, and blade of grass on the map, which then have to respond to the conditions around them, such as spells and changing light. To speed up League of Legends, the game stores most of the shadow assets and states in your video RAM (VRAM). The more VRAM you have, up to approximately 2 GB, the smoother your FPS. But disabling shadows completely in the Video options can increase your FPS and also give you extra visibility on the map (with fewer distracting shadows). To access the Video options, simply press Esc and then select Video. While you’re in there, try setting the overall graphics quality to Very Low.
2. Close all other apps
League of Legends on Mac plays better when there are no other apps using valuable RAM and resources in the background. Common culprits include Dropbox, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Google Drive. By closing these apps before you play, you’re making more RAM and processing power available to speed up League of Legends. To identify and close any resource-hogging apps, simply:
Launch Activity Monitor from Applications.
Switch tabs to Memory and make a note of the apps at the top of the list.
Switch tabs to CPU and see what’s taking up processing power.
Quit all the apps you don’t need by selecting them and choosing Force Quit icon in the top-left corner.
If closing these apps didn’t seem to make an impact on speeding up your League of Legends, try restarting your Mac first for a clean wipe of RAM usage.
3. Repair corrupt game files
League of Legends, like other MOBAs, is updated very frequently for new champions, items, bug fixes, or balances. Over time, your game files can become corrupt due to an error in processing the new files upon each update. Occasionally, this can lead to FPS problems and slow performance. Thankfully, League of Legends has a built-in repair function that will fix any corrupted files:
Run League of Legends.
Click on the gear in the top right corner of the window.
Click Initiate Full Repair.
Wait for the repair function (it can take from 5 minutes to over 30 minutes depending on the corrupted files).
If in doubt, you can always try reinstalling League of Legends entirely so that fresh new files are pulled from the install.
4. Remove resource-heavy and temp files
While there are some good tips for speeding up League of Legends FPS in the game settings, there are some optimizations that can only be done inside macOS. With use, your Mac becomes full with all kinds of files you don’t need that still consume your processor’s speed. But how do you find them?
A popular trick used by pro gamers is to fire up an automatic optimization tool like CleanMyMac X, which finds the files that slow you down so you can focus on landing that next stun.
Using CleanMyMac X is easy — just fire up its Optimization module:

League Of Legends For Mac Os
League of Legends is a MOBA where two teams of 5 players battle each other as they destroy towers in an attempt to blow up the opposition’s nexus.
Over 140 champions
League of Legends is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) that has a highly competitive environment.
Mac Os X Download
League of Legends is entirely free to download and play. You'll only have to pay for cosmetic skins and champions. Riot Points let you purchase these elements. However, Blue essence only buys champions. You'll have to earn and use skin shards to unlock skins for characters.
LoL’s gameplay is highly competitive, even when you’re playing a non-ranked match. The thrill is the main reason that this game becomes addictive. You’ll keep playing to try and master your lane and character.
Once you’ve played through the tutorial, you’ll have the ability to spend your blue essence and choose from over 140 different champions. All characters have a playstyle and their lane. However, most heroes can be played in any role if you have enough skill.
Due to its complexity and competitiveness, the game’s community is mostly toxic.
Where can you run this program?
League of Legends is available for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher, as well as Windows 7 and up.
Is there a better alternative?
League Of Legends Download Mac
No. League is a great MOBA, but Dota 2 is another software program that lets you pick any hero from the moment you join the game. Smite is another MOBA with heroes that pull from world mythology, but it’s not as popular as League or Dota 2.
Our take
LoL is a fun MOBA that’s extremely competitive. However, this competitive nature turns the player base toxic and requires you to mute the chat if it becomes too much.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you enjoy competitive games or want a team-based title, then League of Legends is for you.
They are some complaints I think you should know if you are thinking about getting this. First let’s start with the pros: The campaign mode was fun. It is also fun collecting all the info on the buildings and enemies. Assassin's creed brotherhood mac. Also, collecting new items and powers (like sticky bombs) for my assassin is fun.

Vidja Games
So I checked out Game Informer’s list of the top 300 greatest video games, and they are objectively wrong, lol (I can’t imagine the fights that went into making this list??)!
I’m no critic, and I’m not interested in attempting to objectively rate games, but here are my (subjective) faves in rough order-ish, if you’re interested! They are arranged by franchise for my sanity below the cut.
The Elder Scrolls (TES)
My all time favorite video game series is TES, although I wasn’t able to stomach playing I and II. In order, my favorites are: Morrowind, then Oblivion, then Skyrim.
Morrowind is unfriendly to casual gamers, and even experienced folks need to learn the lay of the enormous world, how to fast travel, and even how to level and plan characters to best effect. The learning curve is enormous, and if you decide to play a different type of character later on, you’re stuck! You might even have to start over, since you level your character by increasing the major and minor skills you chose upfront.
But I have never experienced such an open, imaginative world. The later installments felt both smaller and less varied. In Morrowind, you’ll find everything from sprawling floating cities to houses built into enormous mushrooms, with ashlands, swamps, and mountainous terrains in between, complete with hell-on-earth smack-dab in the middle of everything.
Oblivion is more user-friendly than Morrowind, and it has some of the most engaging quests in the series. What it loses in environmental diversity and sheer exploration potential, it almost- almost- compensates for in fun quests (there’s much less ‘fetch me some swamp muck’ involved), easier transportation, and the wonderful world of Shivering Isles, an expansion.
Skyrim is the most accessible of the three by far, and it’s forgiving in that it allows players to change their play style on the fly with little repercussions. It also has the best combat. Sadly, the repetitive environments make it far less compelling to explore than its predecessors, which is a huge part of TES’s charm for me. I also found the enemies repetitive. The more fanciful enemies are almost absent, and the few that exist are tied to specific daedric quest lines. Do you know how hard it is to recharge enchanted items when you only encounter a handful of daedra? Wolves and trolls just don’t fill them back up well.
Also, while the accessibility widens the target audience considerably, it cuts into the customization options previously available to more experienced gamers. That was a huge disappointment for me, personally.
To be clear, though, I still adore Skyrim.
Personal anecdote: My Morrowind strategy book was so worn that it fell apart, so I punched holes in the pages and kept it in a binder. I took out the fast travel map and the local map of whatever area I was combing to find a dungeon door tucked into a cave hidden behind ivy or whatever. I still have it; it’s a sentimental treasure.
The Sims
The more open-ended a game is, the more I like it, and The Sims is king of that arena! For me, 3 is by far the best installment. 2 introduced the idea of having types of Sims with personal goals to meet to create direction for the player, but ultimately, it felt like I was stuck with the same five Sims over and over again. The wishes and moodlet system of 3, along with the five slots for personality traits, gave me so much more power to create Sims that felt like actual characters.
I... don’t even want to know how much of my life I’ve put into The Sims...
My ranking: 3>1>2>4
It should be noted that I didn’t mind 1′s lack of direction, since my imagination alone is way more than enough to pull me forward in a sandbox game. In comparison, 2 felt restrictive by creating five character types, limiting me to that in a way I couldn’t ignore.
Personal anecdote: I received the original Sims for Christmas when I was in middle school. I accidentally played from bed time until 4 AM, which is the closest I’ve ever come to pulling an all-nighter.
Sonic the Hedgehog
WHERE DO I EVEN START WITH THE BLUE BLUR.
Sonic was an enormous part of my childhood, guys. I played all the games. I watched both cartoons (the one with Sally and the Freedom Fighters and the one where it’s just Sonic/Tails/Eggman/some robots), I learned to read with the comic books. I have a vivid memory of my brother taunting me by refusing to let me see his comics “because I couldn’t read”... So I spite-learned using the comics when he wasn’t paying attention.
I don’t think I can pick a favorite! As a kid, I played Sonic 3 the most; I was a huge Knuckles fan, so that might have played a role (also the original Sonic was too difficult for me at the time, although I certainly tried). But I also loooooved Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. And Sonic Generations was so much fun!
Mario Bros
Lord, I was playing Mario games before I could read, I don’t... Mario has always been around for me, okay? It’s a huge part of my story, and the franchise is so iconic that there’s little for me to say. There are way too many amazing games in this franchise for me to name, but personal faves include: Super Mario RPG, Super Mario World, and Yoshi’s Island.
The Legend of Zelda
This is another franchise where I don’t know what to say... It’s too iconic for me to offer much. Zelda games are known for their exploration and adventure, even from the beginning. Ocarina of Time was a big part of my childhood, but I also adore the newest installment, Breath of the Wild. And I know this may be silly, but I love Hyrule Warriors! I can’t wait to play it on the Switch with all the DLC.
And the music??? Guys????? THE MUSIC?!?!?!
Bioshock
Amazing atmosphere, fun game play, and one of the best stories in gaming history add up to an unforgettable experience. Also a fore-runner to the idea of playing dialogue and recordings while the player explores, a trend that caught on in a huuuge way.
Persona
It’s hard to describe Persona games... They basically combine Jungian psychology with various mythologies, sprinkle in some horror (or glob it on in the case of 3), throw in an RPG, and add a heaping serving of everyday high school life. The games tackle a wide range of ideas and game play, creating a unique experience that has drawn a devoted following.
I’ll make this quick:
3: Best story and atmosphere, worst/most needlessly frustrating game play, very prickly cast lol
4: Best characters and character development
5: Best game play (exquisitely polished game play, really), best overall style, worst story and character development
My ranking is 4>3>5. It should probably be noted that story and character are king for me, so while 5 was incredibly polished mechanics wise, the comparatively weak story and characters sunk it to the bottom of the list for me. It was one of those games where I understood where they were going hours ahead of time, and then they would explain “the twist” to the player for half an hour over and over and over. Frankly, it was... kind of insulting, and soured the experience for me.
Also, Mona, I swear to god, how am I supposed to pass school if you don’t let me study or do my homework because you think I need to sleep at 5 PM every day ahhhhh! XD
Harvest Moon
Oh god, here’s another franchise I don’t want to delve into in terms of hours I’ve spent playing O_O
I can’t even explain why I like these games... In HM, you are a farmer, and your job is usually to prove to the villagers that you’re a valuable member of society so that they won’t evict you from your own inherited property. (I’m curious about their deeds and legal policies, lol. How do you write that clause up?).
These games combine farming with socialization and light dating sim elements, and time management is the name of the game. They pull in players by tapping into the universal desire to create order and advancement.
My favorite installment is Friends of Mineral Town. I also adored Harvest Moon 64, but the controls are sadly too dated for me to replay it.
Pokemon
I’m sure I’ve missed at least one, but I’ve played almost every mainstream release of Pokemon since Red and Blue came out. It must be doing something right, lol!
I’m a huge sucker for games where you choose monsters to raise. It’s so fun to assemble a team based on your tastes and raise them just so!
My favorite release is the remake of Gold and Silver.
Monster Rancher 2
OH MY LORD I played this game to the point where I’m shocked the disc still works. In Monster Rancher 2, you find monsters by placing discs into your Play Station, which each encode a monster. In order to access the strongest monsters, you must raise your rank as a trainer by winning official tournaments.
I wish I could explain why I latched on to this particular game so hard, but... I think it had something to do with the massive variety of monsters, the difficulty of the tournaments (I never did hit S rank, and not for lack of trying!), and the myriad of odd ways to unlock special monsters.
Mario Kart
Seriously, who doesn’t like smiting friends and family on the race track? MK is a fun, family-friendly way to deliver a beat down... As long as you contain your desire to cuss like a sailor, anyway.
It’s so hard to pick a favorite here! It’s hard to top the original for the challenge... But Double Dash and Infinity are contenders, too.
Danganronpa
Danganronpa games are visual novels that mix survival, horror, and crime-solving into a dark, bizarre, unique experience. I’ve written a ton about this series lately, so I won’t delve into it here, but you can check out the danganronpa tag on my blog for more.
Kingdom Hearts
These games are so charming and fun to play! I’ve never completed one on my own- linear games are rough for me- but I’ve seen my husband play them all, even the (many) extra installments. KH2 is probably my favorite, although Birth by Sleep was amazing, too.
Final Fantasy
I’ll admit that I don’t really enjoy playing Japanese RPGs; linear gameplay doesn’t appeal to me much in general. But the FF franchise is famous for its sweeping narratives, imaginative environments, and breath-taking music, and I enjoy them for that. I’ve watched my husband play X-XV, and I briefly joined him in playing XI and XIV. My favorite is probably X... Although I have an enormous crush on Ignis from XV.
My favorite FF game to play is Theaterhythm: Curtain Call.
Mass Effect
How do I say this... I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that better simulated becoming an entire universe’s hero and moral center. In Mass Effect, you shape the world and the political climate in unprecedented ways. By the end of 3, every player is so deeply invested in their Shepard and the world s/he created. In that sense, it’s en epic experience without peer.
Destiny
I love playing Destiny with my husband and our friend! I’m a titan, Tony is a hunter, and our buddy is a warlock, and together, we are... three guardians, lol!
Okay, so the vanilla Destiny release needed some help, but it became a great game with the expansions. I’m still waiting for that breath of rejuvenation for 2, but I treasure the time we spend together kicking ass as a team.
Left 4 Dead
This game redefined what co-op meant to me. I always thought of it as Halo, basically competing on the same team against other players. And yeah, you do that in L4D... But the cooperation angle that this game brought to the table was more or less unprecedented.
In L4D, if your team of ragtag survivors doesn’t work together, it’s unlikely that anyone will survive. I spent a lot of free time in college playing this with my friends spread out over different schools. I had so, so much fun with it.
Although 2 had more varied game play, which was great, I enjoyed the original more, mostly because the online game play wasn’t as loaded in favor of the zombie team. Objectively speaking, though, the sequel was the more robust game.
Personal anecdote: L4D is where I learned about dealing with males online. With Halo, which I also played at the time, I only enjoyed it enough to play it with people I knew. I loved L4D so much that I would log in to play even when my friends weren’t available, which meant that I was teamed with random players.
I have a very feminine voice, which apparently means that I am meant to be treated like crap online. Even though it’s a co-op game, and communication is important, I spent most of my sessions with the headset turned off.
Borderlands
THIS GAME, I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH IT! The crass humor, the expanse of wastelands, the gun-slinging insanity, the incredible couch co-op! What’s not to love?
Sadly, the sequel was a downgrade from the original, but the first game was an amazing ride. I’ve been considering replaying it with Tony with all of the DLC.
Metal Gear
I’ve never played these myself, but I watched my husband play the first three. They’re so cinematic and goofy and over-the-top and awesome! I love breaking out my Solid Snake gravel voice, too. My favorite is... probably 3? It’s hard to pick between 2 and 3, though...
Disgaea
Hmm... How to describe these games... They’re tactics games, I guess? And there’s a lot of story, too... Game play wise, the later installments perfect what the earlier ones started, but you can’t beat the story and characters of the original. Laharl is still one of my all-time favorite male video game characters. He’s... such a brat? I love him???
Honorable mentions in no order (ie, I’m tired of writing descriptions, sorry to the rest of these games):
Halo, Dragon Age, Fallout 3, Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil, Portal, Soul Calibur, Tetris Attack, Uncharted, Ms. Pacman, the Batman Arkham games
EDIT: I forgot Nier: Automata and Super Smash Bros! FOR SHAME!

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a 5v5 Multiplayer Online Battle Arena popularly known as MOBA game for Android and iOS platforms created by Moonton, a game developer company in China and it was released on November 2016. It is Free-to-Play but has an in-app purchase and this includes Diamonds which you can use to buy heroes and skins, and are completely optional as the game stands for their title "5v5 Fair MOBA for Mobile".
Mobile Legends is considered as an action real-time strategy (ARTS) game, is a genre of strategy video games that originated as a subgenre of a Real time strategy game, where a player controls a single character in one of the two teams. The objective of the game is to destroy the opposing team’s main structures especially the nexus, kill enemy heroes, and defend your base with the assistance of periodically spawned AI units or minions who fight forward with you along the set paths.
Mobile Legends Quick Review
Mobile Legends is a very popular mobile MOBA game especially in the Philippines, it is commonly called by players as ML or MLBB. Events and tournaments are also being held by two big Philippine Telecom Companies, Globe and Smart to encourage more Filipino mobile users to play Mobile Legends.
From my perspective, Mobile Legends accents are mostly copied from League of Legends (LoL) because you can get the feels of LoL map and characters while playing ML. Because it features much of what players would expect from a PC MOBA like DOTA, League of Legends or SMITE, including: laning, jungling, item builds, hero roles, hero abilities, skins, and much more.
The interesting part with Mobile Legends is that you can buy your equipment even without going back to your fountain, and you don’t need to buy potion as you had a spell called regen which will heal you health point for some time. This is a fast paced game, where on one run you only need at least 10-20 minutes play to win or lose.
If you are attached to PC MOBA like DOTA 2, LoL, HoN, SMITE or Heroes of the Storm, you might had a hard time adapting to mobile MOBA game especially Mobile Legends. But if you enjoyed playing Mobile Legends, you surely love it. Aside from its quick gameplay which will save your precious time, it is also portable because you can play it anytime anywhere with your android or iOS phone, just be sure have a good signal reception of 3G/4G/LTE to experience smooth gaming. If you're experiencing lag due to high ping, see how to lower your ping (fix lag in Mobile Legends).
Some of known Mobile Legends competitors on mobile MOBA community are the following: Vainglory, Ace of Arenas, Heroes Evolved, Destiny of Thrones, Garena Arena of Valor, Heroes of Order & Chaos, Heroes of SoulCraft and MOBA Duels. Most of these MOBA games have similarities with each other so expect to be confused on what MOBA game will you going to choose.

MARCH 04, 2020 | TAGGED MOTIVATION
BASKETBALL TIP: IMPROVE YOUR WILLPOWER
Becoming great at basketball requires you to have willpower. It's easy to assume we know that that means. Take a look to find ways to improve your willpower.
What does "will" mean?
The word "will" is from Old English and means "what you set your mind to, your purpose, desire or request." People create a will so that when they die, their desires or plans are carried out. Your will motivates your mind and body toward a plan. The term weak-willed was used to describe people who were powerless to achieve what they set their mind to do especially when they encountered difficulty.
Willpower Energy
Your power to achieve your goals is limited. You only have so much energy. If you need a great deal of willpower to achieve your dreams, you need to have a plan. For example, a person wakes up and does 15 minutes of ball handling. At noon, he works on his shooting. After dinner, he plans to do his jump training and conditioning workout, but an awesome show comes on the TV. He loses his willpower to complete his training. Be sure you know what tempts you to quit and give up or to lose momentum.
Key ways to improve your willpower:
Willpower is contagious. Get around people with strong willpower. Take a look at your friends, they are one of your greatest influencers. If your friends lack willpower you will too.
Rate the contagiousness of the willpower in your environment: High Moderate LowSleep affects your willpower. Limited sleep = limited willpower.
Rate your sleep habits: Great Fair PoorMake tasks fun. The more fun you have working out, studying, practicing, the more willpower you will have. 5= You love it 0=You hate it
Rate the fun you have: (Working out ___ Studying ___ Practicing ____)Forgive yourself. If you have a setback, don’t be hard on yourself. The harder you are on your mistakes and the more guilt and shame you have, the more you will mess up the next time. Athletes who make a mistake on the basketball court and then yell at themselves or make a big show on how much they messed up, will be the most likely on the court to make a big mistake again.
Rate yourself on how easily you forgive yourself ____
How easily do you forgive others ___
5=Very Easily 0=Not able to forgiveStay positive. For example, if you make a bad pass in the moment, be kind to yourself, picture in your mind making a better pass in the future, and be mentally strong.
Rate yourself on your PMA (positive mental attitude) _____
5=Great PMA 0=No PMAPicture the negative consequences. When you are creating your goals and work out plan, picture as clearly as possible what it would be like if you don’t reach your goal. Imagine sitting on the bench next season if you do not follow through with your workout. The more you can feel how it will be like, the more likely you will be to follow through when you don’t want to and to find the willpower to achieve your dreams.
Rate your skill at foreseeing the possible negative consequences of when you lose your willpower. _____
5 =Great Ability to foresee 0= No ability
Fashion blog
"Fashion is a way to express yourself"
Wear whatever you want to wear, follow your heart follow your style. If your sense of fashion is a little boyish then go with it. If you want some revealing clothes then wear those. If you want some cool trendy clothes then be with it. Stick to the fashion you want because in that you can have your self-expression.
For me, fashion is wearing something presentable to the eye of the people. I admit that sometimes I wear revealing clothes but for me its a happiness because I can express my self, I can express the sense of fashion that I want and I believe that girls should never choose a clothe that they should wear because if a guys is really pervert then he will be, some girl are wearing long sleeves and loose pants but then they still receive a catcall from people who is lack of intellectual capacity that doesn't know the word RESPECT.
Fashion is like freedom,wear what you want to wear and give yourself a chance to have its own voice.

Game Dev Update | 12.4.17
"Now we dance.” - The Stance Symbols in EoE
Welcome back to the ongoing chronicle of the Exiles of Embermark development!
Last Update, we talked about the female player character, new Abilities, Spectator Mode and Events. This time around, it’s a look at the design of Exiles’ otherworldly Breaches, concepts for Seasonal Rewards, an exceptionally colorful Legendary Axe and its creators and how we’re going to telegraph whether you’re playing a real person or a bot in the game (and, of course, moar).
Let’s do this, shall we? (And let’s dig into it together in live Discord chat or on the forums!)
As shared previously, each Ability in the game currently is aligned with one of 3 Stances (they can also have “None”), Martial (the fist), Magic (the eye) or Mystic (the symbol that will come to telegraph “Breach” or manipulation of Embers and their energy to you as you go). Their advantages over each other in Combat (in addition to Initiative effects) are thus:
A BREAKDOWN ON BREACHES
It’s easy to blame all of the calamity that ensued after the initial Collapse on the existence of the Breaches, but they’re not an entity-- they’re just the by-product of the weakening boundaries between Embermark’s world and others. Edyrin Za’an is to blame here, and even he had issues to deal with that drove him to dip his toe into a pool filled with awfulness.
We’ve all seen rifts, portals and passageways to other worlds in games, but Breaches are a bit different. As the boundaries between worlds weaken, those weak points start to show through as almost cracked panes of glass. Glass that’s eerily infused with some sort of power.
As the boundary weakens further, the intensity increases and we see more of these little flecks of-- power?-- emanate from the opening (spoiler alert-- they’re Embers, and Embers are key to all sorts of everything in the game)
The first Breaches were temporary, opening the way for a summoning or three. When the Collapse ensued, whole rips opened up and stayed open, letting in all sorts of whatnot, from flora to fauna to those with ill intent. Here, we imagine the 1st Breach (to be named something more awesome later), which flung earth, water and structures far and wide. The great center body of water in the continent of Embermark was irreversibly changed the day this one opened up, and will be a location of great importance to players.
SEASONAL REWARDS AND HUZZAHS (CONCEPTS)
Exiles is a game with Seasons, and the current design is for monthly seasons (subject to change). At the end of each Season players' rank in PvP and House will reset, world narrative will advance, and many tasty rewards will be doled out. To that end, we’re working on some concepts for that presentation to the player as they enter into a new season (and no, even though I love the word, it probably won’t actually say “Huzzah,” it’s just an early concept):
BOGANS AND THEIR BATTLEAXE
Behold the Bogan frontiersman, a wily race of humanoids that continue to cross over into Embermark to this day. They’re pioneers, putting down roots wherever they can, sometimes overrunning whole swaths of ex-civilization.
They’re notably lacking in pretense and manners, but they’re a pragmatic lot. They use what they find. They assimilate their surroundings into their everyday and they collect.
Notably lacking in pretense, that is, until they get to serve time as the Bogan Boss, whereupon the Axe passes to them.
The Axe is an amalgam of tribute paid to the Bogan Boss-- gems and baubles and bits of metal. They’re not the most sophisticated of artisans in the world, but they know how to go gaudy, and this Axe reflects that. Rough stones made into blades and pointy bits, finer gems pilfered from ruins and fused into the sides, beads of necklace or bracelet wrapped around the handle.
It’s pretty to some, ugly to others, and in combat, packs a wallop. (/bows low to our Australian constituents for their consulting)
TALES OF EMBERMARK on BOUND - THE FINAL PREVIEW
We’ve been steadily building pre-game history/mmm-delicious-lore with our friends over at Bound for some time now, and I’m excited to share one last snippet before releasing “Tales from Embermark,” the series we’ll be publishing on Bound in the coming days (watch Twitter or the Exiles Subreddit for announcement). This snippet comes from one of 7 episodes of Exiles anecdotes, wherein we learn a little bit about the oft-referred to mage that caused many of the problems that led to the Collapse.
In the words of TOE’s Narrator, the enigmatic Orin:
I did see it, only in passing, from the tallest tower of House Majesty’s estate. A man, in my daze, had climbed to its summit. He wore robes of old and though he may have seen me present on the beach, he made no notice as such. Something to the east held his interest much more acutely, and as I turned to see what that might be, to my horror, I saw the dark legions marching down Tallwind Lake’s easterly sands.
How could I have miscalculated, I thought, rising from the beach.
Frozen, I watched as the soldiers crested the beaches, climbing the lakeside hills. In no time at all they would be butchering House Majesty, driving their blades into the mages as they slept.
But the man on the roof, with his hands flowing quietly through the air, had other plans.
Sinister plans.
---
Next time we talk about Tales, we’ll be telling them.
TRAINING GROUNDS & ARENA
Battle environments continue to roll off the Gunslinger presses, and we’re on track to provide at least one for each of the active Zones in the world somewhere during soft launch. On top of that, we’ve been figuring out ways to tell players where they are (and what they’re currently doing) in as elegant a fashion as we can.
To that end, we designed a couple of environments for PVP to let the player know whether they’re fighting another player for realsies (the technical term for PVP) or if they’re fighting the other player character while under the control of the computer (we call this feature “Spar”). If you’re fighting another player as a bot, you’ll see this “Training Grounds” environ to let you know you’re sparring:
And if you’re in it to win it with another real person on the other end of the Battle, you’ll see this Arena-style environment during your slaying:
BLOODTHORN
While powerful and dangerously beautiful, the tale behind Legendary Staff Bloodthorn is a sad one that will be revealed over time in the game. It involves love, rejection and a very powerful user of magicks named Kora Dumari.
IS THAT A GOLEM?
Yes, yes it is. But it’s not your father’s golem. As we got into briefly at the beginning of this Update, what “Mystic” is in Embermark has wide-ranging ramifications...
BONUS: PUFFS
We’ve talked about VFX in the last few Updates, and our approach to them is evolving quickly. After experimenting with some different looks, we’ve moved toward matching up the style with the hand-painted direction for our characters and environs. Which is why I got excited when this smoke puffery became a reality-- stay tuned for its application in the game:
BONUS BONUS: NEW IDLE, NOW WITH COCKINESS
I try to cover some gameplay, art and features in each Update, and there’s always something that we did that I can’t help sharing. This month it’s the player idle animation. Why?
Cuz check out that shoulder shrug at the end of this sequence. Do you want to fight this guy? I do...
DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER…
We’ll keep sharing details as we head toward testing (remember to PM TheWizard on the Exiles forums with your device type if you want in on closed testing & beta later), and you can count on early impressions from the testers throughout our various channels.
If you haven’t already, follow along with Exiles development on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. And if you haven’t, I’ll find you. And SMITE you.
AS WE READY TO BATTLE, WE CHAT
If you want to hear about the game, ask questions or connect with others who are helping the development team think about features, design and narrative, hop into the Discord Channel for live chat and say hi– it’s a friendly crew with plenty of daily/weekly/sometimes-planned shenanigans.

Season 7 Joust: A Closer Look
As a new Season begins, so starts a new story arc in the SMITE Universe. This will set the stage for Season 7’s new Joust map! Yggdrasil, the world tree, has been damaged by Persephone. Now, a strange occurrence is happening in China. Jade, the sacred gemstone, usually imbued with healing powers and divinity, has turned into something sinister. Living things that touch the jade become afflicted by an otherworldly disease, and demons who slept are awoken by the dark energy within the stone.
A new map brings two primary things: completely new environment art and new gameplay design. The story above is what inspires the new environment. The map will be set on the edge of a city making its last stand against the invading hordes. Instead of the bright, colorful, and heavenly scenes of the current Joust map, players will see a dark, war-torn, and dying forest.
Order side will be landmarked by the city’s temple, beautiful cliffside structures designed to worship the divine.
Chaos side will display the source of the corruption. A giant piece of jade strangling the largest tree in the forest.
And, as usual, we made sure to keep a few things that already fit the goals of the map. The most important being: Slaying the Demon King will disable the enemy Tower or Phoenix. This feature prevents frustratingly long defenses and is most likely here to stay as a Joust feature.
Adding all of these camps to the map created some interesting interactions. One thing we had to be aware of was how many additional gold and XP sources were on the map. Joust was already a snowbally mode and overloading the map could cause more harm than good. In order to keep things balanced in the new Joust map we made a series of economy related changes.
Reduced the team gold reward for killing towers and phoenixes
Reduced the gold reward for killing an enemy god
Decreased XP rewards on minions across the map, but increased the share bonus (this allows for teams to gain XP at a similar rate as usual, but makes it harder for individual players to solo camps or lanes for level spikes)
Increased gold reward on non-buff camps
This combination of effects makes working as team more important, prevents snowballing in XP and gold, and makes sure jungle camps all feel valuable. When combined together they make for a great Joust experience!
As soon as the map reaches PTS we will be in discussion with Duel players to make sure this new maps fits their needs and provides similar benefits to Duel as it does to Joust. When patch notes are released and PTS testing has been done we will be open to making slight changes to the map even before launch.
Season 7 Joust will bring about a new era of 1v1 and 3v3 SMITE. This iconic new location will not only be a place of godlike battles, but it will also be the home of SMITE’s next god. This god will ascend to new levels of power in order to save their people from the threat of the jade, and in that ascent, they will join the ranks of the Gods of SMITE! Be sure to check out the Season 7 Update Show January 8 at 3pm ET to see the full reveal of the new Joust Map!

'PUBG' cross-platform play arrives on PS4 and Xbox One
With the latest PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds console patch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players can now square off against one another. As PUBG Corp promised it would do this month, it has enabled cross-platform play for consoles.
You can decide whether you want to hunt down or evade opponents from the other ecosystem by toggling an option in the gameplay settings. Leaderboards will display a ranking of all console players, or just those from the platform you play on. Players will have a PlayStation or Xbox icon next to their handles to denote their platform.
However, if you have a PS4 and you want to team up with a buddy on Xbox One, you won't be able to do that just yet. PUBG Corp plans to build a cross-party feature, but it's unclear for now when that'll be available.
PUBG is joining the few, but growing number of games that enable cross-play among PS4 and Xbox One players. They include Fortnite, Rocket League, Dauntless, Paladins, Smite and Realm Royale. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will include cross-play for the two consoles and PC when it arrives later this month.
The PUBG update also brings a new progress tracker called Survival Mastery. It'll display how you and your teammates fared in a match with a "detailed review of each combat encounter," and offer you rewards for putting survival skills into practice. You can earn XP through looting, combat, using items in combat and reviving a teammate. The system also brings forth the PUBG ID, a customizable profile through which you can showcase your accomplishments to other players (it doesn't seem dissimilar to Apex Legends' banners).
There's a new crate weapon too: a double-barrelled, pump-action DBS shotgun. That could be useful for hairy, close-quarters encounters as it holds 14 shells and fires two shots a second. In addition, PUBG Corp tweaked the effectiveness of some weapons, made shotgun use more consistent, squished some bugs and added some other features. You can also use healing items while walking -- previously, you had to stop moving to activate them.
