Sevagoth

Casual Goblin

Overview: A shadow of the old war, with a blueprint recovered from the lost ship Tempestarii (Call of the Tempestarii quest) and components from the Void Storms ravaging Neptune, Pluto and Veil Proxima. Sevagoth nurtures a dark reflection inside his shell, one that thinks mere death shouldn’t sate hunger. Special: Sevagoth has two passive abilities, both pertaining to his Exalted Shadow (4) ability. Death Well: Sevagoth fills a counter when killing or draining enemies affected by his powers. This counter is used to fuel his Exalted Shadow (4) in place of energy. Tombstone: When reduced to 0 health, Sevagoth will … Continue reading Sevagoth

Ship Type: Cruisers & Dreadnoughts

Casual Goblin

Overview: The ship in the thick of the fight, energy beams flaring in the void, annihilating anyone foolish enough to stand their ground – cruisers are tough, powerful ships that can form the backbone of any fleet. Characteristics: Slow, brutal ships that specialise in broadside assaults, cruisers can take more punishment that any other type of ship, and retaliate with up to eight weapon batteries. Cruisers normally have a strong hull, moderate to good shielding, poor manoeuvrability and heavy armament – as noted above, they tend to work well when you can fly alongside a target, raking them with fire … Continue reading Ship Type: Cruisers & Dreadnoughts

Kenshi

Casual Goblin

Feudal Japan meets Mad Max featuring special guests the East India Trading Company, robots and the inquisition, all set in the sand blasted ruins of a once technologically advanced world. Encounter humans, hivers (insectoid mutants) and shek (genetically modified fighters who seek death in battle) along with the robots known as skeletons, who definitely didn’t have anything to do with the current dark age. Good: Kenshi is an extremely flexible sandbox, allowing you to play as a samurai, trader, bandit, bounty hunter, archaeologist-salvager, wandering ninja, slaver, slave, skin-stealing robot, bug-man drug-lord, xenophobic zealot and more. You can forge alliances, make … Continue reading Kenshi

Plains Of Eidolon

Casual Goblin

The first open world map added to Warframe, situated on Earth and possessing different enemies during the day and night cycles. In addition you can find a number of quests, a couple of frames and the titular Eidolons. The primary activities are bounties, picked up in the town of Cetus from Konzu or via bounty boards in the plains themselves (look for an orange icon) and consisting of a series of short themed missions with rewards randomly generated from a set list based on their difficulty along with a small amount of Ostron Standing. You can expect anything from 3 … Continue reading Plains Of Eidolon

Helminth

Casual Goblin

Fed up with your current abilities? Have a bunch of frames cluttering up your inventory? Have too many resources built up over time? All these and more can be solved with the Helminth, a friendly(ish) infested creature living inside your Orbiter. Cyst: The first use of the Helminth is to remove the pink growth that can occur on the neck of a frame. By entering the Helminth room and sitting in the chair, you can instantly remove the growth and prevent it from ever returning. Alternatively, you can drain the cyst into a kubrow egg if you have an incubator, … Continue reading Helminth

Payday 2

Casual Goblin

Quietly cracking safes under the nose of security, engaging in a pitched gang battle or fleeing from the 5-O with bags of stolen cash, Payday 2 follows the exploits of the Payday gang as they rob their way across the states. Reminiscent of the movie Heat, you and your crew (human or AI) of masked crooks will stop at nothing for the green! Good: The skill trees in Payday 2 allow you to tailor your playstyle to a massive degree, allowing you to focus on certain weapons and armours, or even devices and game mechanics like hostages and drills. You’re … Continue reading Payday 2

Elder Scrolls Online: Sets & Transmutation

Casual Goblin

Chances are you’ve obtained some transmutation crystals in your adventures, and are wondering what to do with them. By using the crystals in a transmutation station, you can change the trait on a piece of equipment, or even reconstruct something you have previously collected and got rid of! Station: Transmutations stations are pretty rare, and the only place they exist by default in game is the Clockwork City, requiring the DLC of the same name. However, anyone completing master crafting writs (you’ll need the highest rank in a craft to do this) will obtain writ vouchers – gather enough of … Continue reading Elder Scrolls Online: Sets & Transmutation

Focus

Casual Goblin

Unlocked after The Second Dream (with even more options after The War Within) focus lines grant you another layer of options when putting together your loadout, and can be used to add offence, defence and utility to your playstyle. Points: By attaching a focus lens to a max rank piece of equipment (you’ll get one as part of the Second Dream and also a whole bunch from bounty missions in Deimos/Orb Valis/Plains of Eidolon) you will generate a small amount of focus from otherwise “wasted” affinity. This will be multiplied when you find a convergence orb (yellow energy sphere) or … Continue reading Focus

Cambion Drift

Casual Goblin

The third open-world zone released in Warframe, Deimos is the infested remnants of the territory of House Entrati, Orokin artificers and scientists with a taint of madness. The Heart Of Deimos: An introduction quest can be obtained in your orbiter, that will give you a taste of the mission types available in the Drift, along with some of the lore of House Entrati, Orokin involved in void technology, trapped and corrupted by the Infested. This will also reward you with the blueprint for Xaku! Necralisk: The corrupted bastion of Orokin House Entrati, within which the contaminated remainder of that bloodline … Continue reading Cambion Drift

Elder Scrolls Online: Potions, Poisons & Provisions

Casual Goblin

Potions and poisons can be used to increase the effectiveness of your character in battle – either by enhancing your power, restoring your resources or crippling your foes. They can also have surprising utility, such as increasing your movement speed while turning you invisible! Use: Potions can be consumed every 45 seconds by default (this can be sped up using jewellery with the Potion Speed glyph attached) and provide their benefits for a short duration. Because of the huge range of available effects, you can create potions to fill gaps in your build (i.e. granting you major sorcery, major prophecy … Continue reading Elder Scrolls Online: Potions, Poisons & Provisions
