The development team at Hi-Rez Studios has released a new dev blog focusing on the upcoming changes to their Global Agenda MMOFPS. Codenamed Sandstorm, the updates will begin reaching the live servers in early June. Phase I of the patch, now in public testing, features a host of additions and improvements including new epic weapons, a new loot and token system, new PvP maps, new PvE missions, and new social features.
"So if you're looking at the patch notes for 1.3, you're probably saying to yourself 'holy crap they changed every aspect of the game,'" says Executive Producer Todd Harris. "We wanted to preserve all the good balanced combat, but also add a layer of device variety and new variety that our MMO players are looking for."

It's all really neat but they should probably find a better word to describe 'awesome; huge; super awesome huge cool' than EPIC. It's overused. Especially in this video. Ugh.
I think at this point in MMOs, an epic item is just an epic item. Like calling a cat a cat, it is what it is because people recognize that and understand it.
As to the video, I like the shiny new weapons. My medic can't wait to start siphoning life out of people.
Having a hard time listening to what he's saying cause I LOVE that song. My favorite from the game... So good, I wish there was an mp3 of it available.
