Moreover, it increases the attention span of an individual, encourages spatial reasoning, fosters social skills, and promotes strategic planning. Nonetheless, there is a lot of negative this and that to justify the detriment that gaming inflicts on the education process. Do not let that fret you. Below are proven ways to…

James Ohlen is leaving BioWare
James Ohlen tweeted that he is leaving BioWare to pursue personal endeavors After 22 years I have retired from BioWare. I’ve loved my time with Anthem, Star Wars, Dragon Age and Dungeons and Dragons. But I need to take a break from the industry and work on something a little smaller and more personal. — James Ohlen (@JamesOhlen) July 12, 2018 James Ohlen is one of the main reasons that kotor and dragon age origins were so great. He is a hardcore DnD/RPG fan. It Seems like the pressure of anthem is hitting a lot of people at BioWare. Its almost a shame that BioWare got so popular and then bought out by EA. Their original games with a heavy focus on rpg elements is what made them great. They lost their touch as they were forced to make more “modern” titles leading to generic game play and less RPG elements….
SWTOR Cartel Bazaar vendors reputation change
Eric Musco has informed the community that Bioware will be merging all the cartel bazaar vendor reputations into one come with game update 5.9.2. Here is the news: Hey folks, We wanted to address some of the questions we are seeing in this thread. As many of you in the thread already guessed, in 5.9.2 we will be combining all existing Cartel Market Reputations into one, the Underworld Exchange. Let’s talk about why we are making this change and how it will work. Why Combine the Reputations? Having all of the older Reputations wasn’t really serving a purpose anymore. Since we are direct selling most CM items and with the implementation of the Ultimate Pack we haven’t been bringing back embargoed packs. This means there is no availability for players to get these Reputations. This also creates an issue for Cartel Market Certificates since they aren’t consistent in how you acquire…

How Gaming Helps Children Improve Their Learning Skills
If you ask a parent whether playing video games is necessary for a child’s education, you will get the same answer from most people, which is ‘NO’ accompanied by various reasons why video gaming is no good for children. Some of the most common arguments include inappropriate content or violence; inactivity and bad habits, which lead to obesity; inadequate social skills; waste of time; and minimal use of imagination. The point is that in some cases, these reasons are valid, but it refers to isolated incidents rather to a rule. The point is that researchers are discovering the positive impact of video games on kids concerning education. In this respect, gaming in the classroom has become a prevalent method of teaching due to the accessibility of the technologies. It is because there are more benefits of video games than harm.

New Star Wars Game Features – What to Expect?
There are so many news on the horizon that it’s hard to choose one to begin with. But let’s better start with the most important one: we’re getting a brand new Han Solo skin! Not just Han Solo’s, but also Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian and Leia’s. For the Han Solo and Lando’s skin, we’re positive that they are featured as the actors from the movie, Alden Ehrenreich, and Donald Glover. All of the Star Wars players were eagerly expecting some new features, new characters, and new locations. And that’s what they got.

Maybe people are still not officially wagering on Star Wars games outcomes, but with these new things that are being included in them, the games will definitely boost the interest of the fans involved in eSports betting and become…
Star Wars: Force Arena – 7/04 Update Details
Another update is upon us, featuring adjustments made on the arena to improve the overall experience of the game. For details, please see below: ■ Balance Adjustments A Balance Patch is made on the cards listed below. All numbers listed in the Balance Patch are based on the cards at Level 1. Dark Side Unit Balance Dryden Vos Dryden Vos is a very aggressive Leader, but due to the short duration of his “Rage” skill and the difficulty of utilizing it, many Squad Leaders did not give much thought into using him when he first debuted in the game. A decision was made to increase his skill’s duration, so get ready to use Dryden Vos in the battlefield! Bossk Bossk’s special ability is to gain energy when defeating an enemy leader, which can become a powerful weapon on 2v2 battle, where the skill could be used continuously. Thus, a patch was…

SWTOR: PvP Season and Reward Changes
Eric Musco just informed us, that the SWTOR devs are making some changes to Ranked PvP. The main goal is to make the seasons shorter. Check it out: Hey folks, Starting with Season 10 we are considering some changes to the frequency of Ranked PvP Seasons and how we structure rewards. Let’s talk about what our goals are for these changes and what we intend to change. Goals We have a few specific things we want to address: Seasons are going longer than we would like. Although this gives us a lot of time to put together awesome rewards, it does mean you have to go many months within one season. Having a new Currency to collect every Season can be clunky and adds extra complexity to earning and spending currency. We have heard a continual desire to bring back prior Season rewards in a fair but accessible way. The…

Games In Which You Can Never Win
A theoretical chance of winning should be present in any play for it to be considered a real game. When all you have is a prospect of a sad and sour loss, it’s not worth to engage in the playing process altogether. Some say you should focus on the journey and not the destination, but for some of us destination means much more than the journey. Nobody wants to be a loser, the result of the game matters the most, as it defines us as players, as masterminds behind the moves. Being caught in a situation where you can’t win is unfair. Some players just have an advantage over us, but there’s one competitor that will not give you any chance, not even a mathematical one. Artificial Intelligence Yes, that’s the one. AI wins every time and because of that many bright minds think that the machines will take over…
