The bipod in particular will be getting some ‘love’, but among the other attachments being tweaked are the foregrip, suppressor, heavy barrel, and flash suppressor. Kertz posted the full change list on Reddit. (more…)
Following crippling lag problems encountered by numerous players with large save games, Bethesda released a PS3 Skyrim patch on Monday in part designed to improve the “occasional performance issues resulting from long term play”.
Having previously complained at length about the problem, ex-Official PlayStation Magazine editor Tim Clark was initially delighted with the patch, which seemed to offer a vast improvement to gameplay.
However, it wasn’t long before his game started to resemble a Nordic slideshow once more, and he now says he’d again struggle to recommend the PS3 version of the RPG stunner in its current state. (more…)

Comprehensive Update to Open Beta Brings Raft of New Features
Just in time for the long Easter weekend, the latest feature packed patch for Mythos has arrived. With only a few days of the open beta left before the game is released next week, the update includes many new features for players to get egg-cited about!
Besides a comprehensive localisation update and revised guild features the level cap was also increased from 27 to 50 which means that for the first time players can now enter the third region, ‘Umbral Peaks’ and face the many new quests and challenges the snowy region introduces.
No, that shriek you hear in the distance is not the gleeful sound of children discovering hidden eggs, it’s the sound of Uld’s monsters crying out in fear as they realize the odds just got tipped in players’ favour!
With the newly refined guild features, dungeons are now better designed for team play meaning that maybe, just maybe, you might emerge from the darkness victorious. But that’s not all, the guild member list and rights system have been completely revised along with a raft of new features including a guild message board, safe, rankings and the possibility to acquire buffs for the whole team.
