The former digital artist of Neverwinter from DickPetty's blog

With an intervention that raised many criticisms among Twitch users, the former digital artist of Neverwinter, Xavier Coelho-Kostolny, wanted to warn video game fans of the danger of free to play using Loot Boxes for finance. When you loved this post and you wish to receive more details with regards to Cheap never winter zen I implore you to visit the web-site. As illustrated by the designer who reports that he is currently working on a super-secret project by Insomniac Games (someone said Marvels Spider-Man 2), Companies in the sector would leverage on the self-deception techniques that characterize the gambling industry.

Strongholds is the game's seventh expansion, and was first released on PC back in August. When it arrives on November 3 for Xbox One, it'll do away with the waiting that PC players had to do; all of its features will immediately be available. Strongholds adds the game's "largest in-game map" to date, which is home to a new competitive multiplayer mode called Stronghold Siege. It's essentially a large-scale MOBA two teams of 20 fight across three lanes as they attempt to reach and destroy the enemy's guild hall. You can get a feel for this in the video above.

Perfect World Entertainment has announced that Cryptic Studios Neverwinter, originally released on PC, has more than 1.6 million players on the Xbox One. The free to play MMO launched at March end for Microsofts console and has seen some fairly good numbers since then. Other stats provided by the publisher state that 2.3 million characters have been created since launch (with 92,000 hitting the maximum level cap of 60); 86 million minutes have been played; 10 million parties have been formed; more than 1 billion enemies slain; and over 1000 dragons have been ended courtesy of 92 players.

Cryptic Studios free to play MMORPG Neverwinter is now available to pre-download on the Xbox One. This means you can download the game now and play it as soon as it goes live next week. It should be noted that despite the games free to play nature, one will still require Xbox Live Gold to play it. Neverwinter takes place in the famous Forgotten Realms location of Dungeons and Dragons with an emphasis on action RPG mechanics. It will include the Scourge Warlock and Tyranny of Dragons expansion packs to complement the base game and also allow one to invite their friends into games.

The lay-offs were issued by publisher Perfect World Entertainment and though a public statement has not been issued, many of the staff are confirming the same in various social media outlets. The number of employees let go also seems to be quite severe as Massively reported one (recently deleted) tweet describing them as a slaughter. Its never a good thing when a developer is forced to lay off employees especially when its a long-time studio that's been carving its own niche in the industry. Sadly, this appears to have been the case with Cryptic Studios, developer of MMORPGs Neverwinter and Star Trek Online.
