It’s A Steal: World of WarCraft Subscription Changes

Not a lot of gamers jump into an MMO for the first time if it’s already five years old or more. Everyone except you already got the mechanics memorized by heart and has a competitive-level character that runs endgame content, while you’re just catching up when it comes to level, gear, and game knowledge. Blizzard, however, came up with a way to entice new players for World of Warcraft: free base game and expansions.

Pay to Play Legion

Aside from the aforementioned reasons, another deterrent for new players is the fact that they have to buy the base game and all the expansions just to play the most recent one. And while Blizzard has come up with some steps to lower this particular hurdle, such as offering bundles and packs that get you the expansions for a single purchase and a much lower price as compared to buying them one by one.

As if that deal isn’t a steal enough, Blizzard decided to do give expansions – including Legion – for free simply by subscribing to the game. This basically means the game has become pay-to-play – until Battle for Azeroth rolls out on August 14, that is. No doubt that a lot of prospective players see it as a good move, especially since it’ll be saving them a lot of money.

On the other hand, older players and those who just recently bought Legion are pissed, and understandably so after paying for something that they never imagined would be free later on. Hopefully, Blizzard comes up with a solution that will appease the veteran players.

Past for the Future

Blizzard is intent on bringing fresh blood into Azeroth’s circulation because it’s going to have its new expansion: Battle for Azeroth. To get new and returning players up to speed, the latest expansions have been all about bringing the game to its roots.

Legion was about revisiting the Burning Legion, the army of demons headed by the titan Sargeras; they’re also the chief antagonists of Warcraft III and the reason for the events of World of Warcraft’s base game.

Battle for Azeroth, on the other hand, brings the conflict between Alliance and Horde to the forefront once again. Truce after shaky truce, the two major factions are finally done with the handshaking so off to war against each other they go. The war between the two hasn’t been this focused on by the franchise since WarCraft II, so a lot of long-time players are excited for this.

Looking Forward to the War

In true World of Warcraft style, the new content for the upcoming expansion is going to be tightly tied to the lore. A good example of this would be Battlefronts, a Warcraft II-heavily inspired game mode which will put you in the battle boots of a commander. With 20 allied players, you’ll either be launching an assault on an enemy stronghold or defending the stronghold that you conquered.

As for other additional new content, players will be getting the Heart of Azeroth, the new “artifact weapon”. There is also the Island Expeditions, which are 3v3 PVP content where you’ll face off either AI or other players in islands while trying to find Azerite and Tratures. Last but definitely not least, there will be 10 new dungeons, which are definitely enough to last until the next expansion.

World of Warcraft is headed in a new direction, not only when it comes to lore and in-game content but also in its history as a game, thanks to Blizzard’s creative new idea on how to get new players on-board. After all, war is coming, so both factions should pump up their numbers.

Hit the Ground Running: Final Fantasy IX Hints

Cosmos_Final Fantasy IX


It has been 17 years since Final Fantasy IX first came out; but despite pushing close to two decades, not everyone who’s finished this masterpiece has mastered it. In fact, lots of gamers glossed over the gameplay and other side content and just wanted to get to play it for the story. Now, you don’t wish to go that route, right? After all, that’s why the title led you here. So without further ado, here are some Final Fantasy IX tips that will make your journey with Zidane and friends easier.


Getting the “Killer” Abilities


In Final Fantasy IX, you have access to passive skills called “Abilities.” Skills require a certain amount of Magic Stone for them to take effect.

From granting you buffs to bypassing certain metagame limitations, there are different abilities meant to make combat easier. Speaking of combat, it helps to make every battle as short as possible. It helps to up your damage, and one good way to do that is to activate “Killer” abilities.

Every enemy has a type: bird, beast, demi-human (just to name a few). For every type, there is a “Killer” ability. To hit many types of enemies harder, get as many abilities of this kind as possible.

With the Synthesis in Mind


In RPGs, players usually sell equipment once they find something better. It’s only common sense to do so since it’s better to turn it into gold rather than let it sit in the inventory and eat a slot. Players usually buy one piece of gear at a time because there’s no point to buy another piece of the same gear since you won’t be using it.

However, the two rules of thumb shouldn’t be applied in the game. Why? Well, two words: synthesis shops, which are specialty shops that for a bit of Final Fantasy IX Gil, fuses two pieces of gear into one strong gear. For example, with Zidane, you’ll be able to synthesize a Butterfly Sword out of a Dagger and a Mage Masher. Although you can always buy either in a shop, it would save you time and gil if you just kept both. There’s also The Ogre, which requires two Mage Mashers. If you already bought two in the first place, then you wouldn’t have to go out of your way to buy another.

Sidelined by Sidequests


Steal in every opportunity you get (trust us on this). It may seem impractical and unrighteous, as it’s not a guaranteed success, and it eats a turn that could’ve been spent on dealing damage. Do it anyway! Yes, it gives you a chance to get free items, even gear, so there’s a payoff. Plus, later on, Zidane will learn Thievery, a skill that deals huge damage if Zidane has many successful steals.

Make sure to explore. The world of Gaia has lots of secrets that you wouldn’t discover if you just stick around with the main story.  Daguerreo, for example, is a gothic library, which is an optional and secret location on an island south of the Forgotten Continent. Here, you can get quality gear and synthesis shop items. Also, it’s the starting point for the side quest that will give you Excalibur.

There are also other secret places like Daguerreo, so it’s best that you pay those a visit. Just ride that airship and search Gaia for any curious place because you’re likely to find something interesting.

Final Fantasy IX is one of the richest RPGs of its time. So, if you’re going to play it, then it’s a must that you make the most out of it. With these simple tips, you will.

Path of Exile: The Journey Continues - A Few Things That Beginners Would Find Useful

Spartan, Army, Sun, Dusk, Roman, Soldier

Hey guys, this is Ryan from Games with Coffee! How’s everybody doing? The fine people from Playerauctions.com have asked me to guest post on their blog and I thought, “Why not?”

About a month ago, I started my journey through the foreboding world of Wraeclast, the setting for the highly popular, free-to-play Action-MMORPG, Path of Exile.

As a mature, distinguished gamer, I try my best to balance my many adult responsibilities with playing games, but Path of Exile has tested me on that balance. With the multitude of skills and equipment available, the interesting trading and currency system, tough enemies, map modifications and the HUGE passive skill tree, this game has me trying to find any time at all in my busy schedule to play it! You can find my first impressions, as well as my advice for beginners of the game here.

On that note, I thought I’d continue to share what quests, items, and currencies I think beginners should continue to look for on their way through the game. Today’s post covers my journey up to the Prison.

Masters Quests

Along the way, I met an interesting NPC named Haku, who gave me a quest to bring a spirit to him under some Haunted Grounds. I accepted the quest, beat down the baddies, got the strange red apparition and returned to the entrance to give to him. I received little in reward but noticed my reputation with him increased. I checked the forums and lo and behold I learned about Masters – important NPC’s who, after gaining several reputation levels, will allow the use of a personal hideout and unlock the ability to craft ultra-useful items that you can either use for yourself or trade with others to get even better gear! These kinds of quests should be on the radar for both beginners and veterans of the game alike, especially if you have items and orbs available to craft their unique wares.


Items and Currencies to Look Out For


As I continued towards the Prison, I’ve been on the lookout for any valuable orbs or items I can trade with vendors or with other players to get stronger and further my game. However, a few of these orbs have uses that beginners should definitely take advantage of. For instance:

Orbs of Alchemy upgrade normal items into rare items. They are perfect for those who have normal weapons or armour whose quality has been improved through the use of Blacksmith’s Whetstones or Armourer’s Scraps. Beginners should use these in conjunction with Whetstones or Scraps on their normal items to create more powerful gear. These are pretty uncommon to find on the field, so if you get one, save it for when you’ve upgraded the quality on your normal items before applying it. Or you could also trade it with vendors to get new skill gems or rare, unidentified items.

Now, these orbs are cool! Applying an Orb of Chance to an item upgrades it to a random rarity. So you can end up with a Magic, a Rare or even a Unique item, just by applying it to a normal item! This is a commonly found currency, so it shouldn’t take very long to find one. I used one on my witch’s Goat’s Horn that I picked up and it transformed into a Rare item! Orbs of Chance can be used on just about any item, regardless of the rarity, but you run the risk of getting an item of lesser rarity. Sometimes, though, the rewards outweigh the risks, especially if you have several orbs on hand. 

If you’re itching to get more of these or other orbs, try looking on the Path of Exile items store on Playerauctions.com. They have a large selection of items and currency available to purchase at a reasonable cost, and all transactions are safe and secure.

Additional Tips 

Here are some extra tips that will help make your journey an easier one:
In the Submerged Passage, take a Sapphire Ring with you. The extra Cold resistance will keep you from getting iced from the Cold-elemental enemies in the area.
Upgrade your flasks as soon as you are able to. I made the mistake of sticking with the initial flasks. I didn’t last very long in further areas.

There’s also a quest in town in which a Quicksilver flask is rewarded. This increases your movement speed for a limited time when used and refills the same way as life and mana flasks. Get it ASAP.
And thus ends my little quest update. If you like what you see here, I invite you to check out my blog. I talk about the games that changed my life, the video game music scene and dispense advice on how to fit gaming into all of life’s major responsibilities, all over a cup of coffee.

So, with that, I bid you all adieu! This has been Ryan from Games with Coffee, reminding you to Keep Gaming and Keep Brewing. See you in Wraeclast!
