My Little Pony Seasons 8/9 and G5 Info Leaked

So, it seems like the My Little Pony hype has ignited once again. Apparently there’s some major information coming out of the deepest depths of DHX Media. Namely the fact that plans for Season’s 8 and 9 are spreading like wildfire.
Once again I must preffice that all of these are to be taken with a grain of salt. This outlet has been focusing on other gaming and TV Show leaks and some have turned out to be fake. As such, proceed with extreme caution.
Let’s start with the fact that there’s supposed to be a new Generation of My Little Pony. A Proposed Timeline and Concept Images suggest that there will be a Second My Little Pony Movie and cosmetic rehaul to characters like Fluttershy, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle.
As for the current generation of My Little Pony. The show is aimed to end after the Season 9 finale. Not only that but the new generation of ponies will be featuring CG animation rather than animation done in Flash like the current generation has.
Coupled with this leak there has been mention of full-episode leaks on unauthorized websites. Bringing a new degree of authenticity that we haven’t seen before. Allegedly, these episodes are fully voiced and lack sound effects. However, we cannot confirm any of this as these are just rumors.
Once again I must stress that these are to be taken with a grain of salt. There isn’t any confirmation or denial from Hasbro or DHX about the legitimacy of this. The part that seems unconvincing to me is how the scheduling seems to be rather convenient and well placed for fans of the series.
If you are interested in other aspects of the My Little Pony community. You can check out the entries that happened during this year’s #MLPMonth. Of course, it’s a matter of time before the people behind the scenes show us their cards.

Larian Reveals Baldur’s Gate 3’s Mildest Multiclass Builds

Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.
According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.
More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.
Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!
Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.

Techland Shows Durable Dying Light 2 Content Roadmap

Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.
IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.
Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.
Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?

Epic to Globalize V-Buck Price Hike

Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.
Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.
Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
How do you view Epic’s timing and pricing increase?
