They work hard to send boxes filled with goodies to members of the military to give them a touch of home. The group has spent years supporting service personnel overseas. You can also hang out with the team on Discord. Everyone can join in the fun and provide moral support to the team during the wee hours of the night. Streamers will be on hand on the Veteran Gamer TV Twitch channel starting at 11:30 pm Pacific / 2:30 am Eastern. The goal is to raise $1,000 to cover the cost of the packages and shipping. Funds raised during the stream will be used to send care packages to military personnel deployed overseas. During the 24-hour event, the upcoming MMO, Astellia, will be shown. A second closed beta test will be announced very soon with wider access for those interested.On Tuesday, July 30th, the Miltary & Veterans Gamers Group is going to be hosting a charity livestream event. If you're interested, there are a handful of different pre-order packages up on the official website right now. I've only spent a few days and a handful of hours with Astellia so these impressions are just based on the opening hours which is far from the most robust way of judging an MMO, but it didn't do a whole lot to convince me that it's more than just another generic Korean MMORPG with a slightly creepy young girl collecting meta-game.Īstellia will release on PC in September of this year. In fact, Astellia honestly looks at times like it was created using hefty chunks of the same assets in Tera already-but I could be wrong there. And if you want something free instead, go play Tera. Fans of traditional tab-targeting combat are likely better off just doubling down and playing Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft and fans of more fast-paced combat should probably just play Guild Wars 2 or Elder Scrolls Online. In the end I don't fully understand who the target audience is with Astellia. You can tell she's on your side because she's wearing white. This isn't the first time promises like this have been made, so fingers crossed they follow through. Specifically, with regards to Astellia's negative reputation surrounding its predatory cash shop that allows players to purchase powerful items to directly improve their characters, the developer has stated those items will be removed from the Western version entirely. The company behind Astellia's western release (Barunson Entertainment) have emphasized that the game's English version will not be pay-to-win. Without a doubt it's got one of the best, most detailed, and visually impressive character creation systems of any MMO (or game, period) that I've tried since Black Desert Online. I typically play paladin-type characters so I picked warrior-thankfully the character creator is excellent. Reportedly the gender locked classes will be changed to allow for changing genders on release (such as playing a female warrior or male healer) but in the build I tried that wasn't possible. It felt like I was intended to amass a harem of young girls (and animals) to fight for me and they hardly added much benefit during combat at all.
