<a href="http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/"><em>Star Citizen</em></a> smashed its $21 and $22 million stretch goals this week, adding the salvaging profession to the game and a facial capture system to the developer's toolbox. The Next Great Starship design contest was also launched this week, offering players the chance to get their ship design featured in the game and win a prize of $30,000.<br />
<br />
Datamining from the latest <a href="http://diablo3.com/"><em>Diablo III</em></a> test build shows that the previously considered stat caps may no longer be added in the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/reaper-of-souls"><em>Reaper of Souls</em></a> expansion, lifesteal may be nerfed, and a new difficulty mode called Torment could be on its way. <a href="http://pathofexile.com/"><em>Path of Exile</em></a> revealed that two new four-month-long challenge leagues will start when the game officially launches on October 23rd, and developers answered over 100 questions from fans.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://leagueoflegends.com/"><em>League of Legends</em></a> players on the EU West servers have started a petition demanding compensation for recent server trouble, and new champion Jinx was released this week. <a href="https://account.hirezstudios.com/smitegame/"><em>SMITE</em></a> raised over $12,000 for charity with a recent event and overhauled character Hel, the goddess of the underworld. <a href="http://heroesofnewerth.com/"><em>Heroes of Newerth</em></a> got a new announcer pack voiced by none other than Samuel L. Jackson, and developers on mobile game <a href="http://dungeondefenders.com/"><em>Dungeon Defenders II</em></a> have dropped its competitive MOBA element in favour of creating a true sequel to the original game.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/10/14/not-so-massively-star-citizen-design-contest-samuel-l-jackson/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Not So Massively: Star Citizen design contest, Samuel L Jackson announcer pack, and LoL releases Jinx</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/10/14/not-so-massively-star-citizen-design-contest-samuel-l-jackson/">Not So Massively: Star Citizen design contest, Samuel L Jackson announcer pack, and LoL releases Jinx</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:00:00 EST.

It looks as though the end of the world will be postponed -- at least for a week.<br />
<br />
Due to issues on <a href="http://www.riftgame.com/en/"><em>RIFT's</em></a> European servers, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/trion-worlds/">Trion Worlds</a> has announced that the current world event <a href="http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?159332-River-of-Souls-World-Event-Extended">will postpone moving into its second phase</a> until Saturday, April 16th.  <a href="http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?159145-All-Shards-Phase-2-of-the-World-Event-has-Been-Delayed">In a post on the forums</a>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/james-nichols/">James Nichols</a> said <em>"With the opening of the final phases of the River of Souls World Event in Europe we have identified several issues that only came to light in a live server environment."</em><br />
<br />
Originally, the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/river-of-souls/">River of Souls</a> event was scheduled to head into Phase Two on the 9th, but issues cropped up that prevented this from happening.  All told, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/rift/"><em>RIFT's</em></a> first world event will go through three phases before it is through.<br />
<br />
Because of the delay, Trion said that it is both increasing the event currency players can earn and the amount of rewards available for purchase.  These changes will be rolled out during the week.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/04/10/rift-world-event-extended-due-to-technical-difficulties/">RIFT world event extended due to technical difficulties</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 10 Apr 2011 21:00:00 EST.
