Battlegrave brings PvP to Captains of DarkTide
Captains of DarkTide has added its first PvP zone. As of today, players can sail out to the Battlegrave zone and participate in a king-of-the-hill style match against other players. Your items are safe in these matches, because loot comes in the form of barrels that spawn in random locations near the center of the map. The barrels can contain rare and epic items and even DarkTide Credits, which are normally purchased with real-world money in the CoDT store. This is only the first of several new themed zones that Silverlode plans to introduce during open beta, so check it out, then keep your eyes peeled for more!
Captains of DarkTide enters open beta
Captains of DarkTide, the quirky pirate-slash-fantasy MMO introduced back in May, is finally ready for open beta as of today. The game has undergone quite a few changes and improvements in the past months as the devs worked on every area of the game. Basic game glitches along the way have been fixed, of course, but much more has been improved as well. Crafting and inventory have been greatly simplified. Enemies have been rebalanced and combat changed to make battles a bit less frustrating. If you've been participating in closed beta, there was a full character wipe so you'll be starting fresh with today's open beta. If you're new to Captains of DarkTide, it's browser-based, available on both PC and Mac, and free-to-play, so giving it a try couldn't be easier.
Orcs, elves, magic, and... pirates: Silverlode unveils Captains of DarkTide
Silverlode Interactive, the developer best known for fantasy MMORTS SAGA, has unveiled a project that's been in "stealth development" for the past year: Captains of Dark Tide. This pirate-themed free-to-play game is set in the SAGA universe, creating an unusual and potentially very exciting mix of fantasy and piracy -- the swashbuckling kind, not the software kind -- on the open seas. What this means is that players will be able to do things like crew their ships with dragon-summoning dark elves, create cannons that shoot fire or lightning, or bring the lich and his minions aboard to join you in your search for buried treasure. If it sounds like something that you'd like to try, Captains of Dark Tide is accepting signups for the US closed beta now. Only US servers will be available for the time being, but EU players are welcome to join the US servers. A EU closed beta will launch sometime in the future. If you're worried about not getting into the closed beta, don't: the servers will scale as beta progresses in order to admit everyone. You can sign up for closed beta on the main CoDT page, and be sure to check out the gallery below for a first look at Captains of Dark Tide. %Gallery-92743%
