Massively explains Warhammer Online to the dedicated WoW player

One Shots: The darkening of the light

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Warhammer Online, One Shots


Where the clouds pull apart, and the moon changes faces, In the quiet secret places are you there? If you play on the Iron Claw server, you'd likely have run into Snacky who sent us today's Warhammer Online One Shots. While running around, Snacky came across the following scene, and sent this screen to us along with the following note: As my Shaman (why not Shawoman?) was travelling in the land of the Dark Elves, I was overcome with emotion as I stood upon a cliff ledge and watched with fascination the swirling light-show in the sky.

If you've found a cool location on your daily travels, we'd love to see it! Just send it in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/server/guild and a quick description. We'll post it out here for the world to see -- and potentially add in pop-culture references, too!

One Shots: Tryin' to catch me riding nerdy

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, New titles, Warhammer Online, One Shots


We can only figure that it is thanks to some strange combination of Mythic and Weird Al that today's Warhammer Online One Shots came in to us as it did. Why would we say that? Well, this is perhaps the first time we've had anyone write us and tell us that they were purposely trying to sound "nerdy." We were amused too. Here's what today's contributor, Neurose, sent in: My name is Neurose and I play on the Open-RvR server Dark Crag. This is a shot of me [on my] Warrior Priest with my friend Knyte the Bright Witch mounted on our noble steeds. This description is meant to sound as nerdy as possible, and I think I succeeded in doing so. Enjoy.

Have you found a funny pop-culture reference in your favorite game? Perhaps you'd just like to see if you can spur us into making one with your screenshot. If you're playing an MMO, you're invited to send some in! Just grab some screenshots of your daily adventures and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your character's name/server/guild and a quick description of what we're seeing. Yours could be next.

World of Warcraft
One Shots: Hooray for matching armor

Filed under: World of Warcraft, Betas, Fantasy, Screenshots, One Shots


When Burning Crusade first came out, people at endgame started out in (generally) a pretty decently matched set of raiding or quested gear. Within a few levels, most looked like they'd been hitting Bob's Discount Armor and Party Supplies for gear. While it's not true of all quest armor that you pick up, Deadend sent in this screenshot to show that apparently Blizzard decided to go more towards a more uniform look in Wrath quest armor. Beats looking like an overblown pinata again, eh?

If you're in Wrath, if you're in regular World of Warcraft, or if you're playing another non-Blizzard MMO altogether, we'd love to see your screenshots. Just snag some and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/server/group and a quick description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone else to enjoy and give you the credit.

One Shots: Destruction is fun

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Warhammer Online, One Shots


We're not just talking about playing Destruction classes (which is pretty fun in itself) but in the general destruction wrought in the lands of Warhammer Online. Today's One Shots shows off just that type of carnage brought by the will of Brevia of Genocidal Tendencies, who sent this screen in to us. She writes in: Brevia is giggling with manic pleasure shortly after torching the building (in the tier 1 area of the human pairing known as Nordland) you see behind her -- as well as torturing and killing the guard who once stood there protecting it. Long live Destruction! And yes, Stunties do in fact taste like chicken!

Are you playing Warhammer Online? Have we seen screenshots from you yet? If not, what are you waiting for! Grab some screens of your adventuring and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your character name/server/guild and a quick description of what we're seeing in the picture. After all, what's the point of tearing it up in your favorite MMO if you can't show it off?

One Shots: The Isle awaits

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Vanguard, One Shots


We couldn't have been happier when SOE recently opened up Vanguard: Saga of Heroes for a free-trial period. We'd been looking to do a First Impressions on Vanguard for a while, but were waiting on the trial to open up so others could check it out as well. When we saw this particular screenshot come in to our One Shots mailbox from Luni, we thought the timing was awesome; we're working on our own First Impressions piece now. That said, today's One Shots is all about this great screenshot from Luni, who wrote in: I recently started the psionist half-elf character named Luni in the new Vanguard newbie zone - Isle of Dawn. I have to admit that these newly-created areas are really impressive AND immersive.

Do you play a game we don't often see here? Perhaps you'd like to tip us off to an awesome game that we haven't covered as yet by sending us some tasty screenshots of the game. Whatever your reason, all MMO screenshots are welcome! Just send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/server/guild and a quick description of what we're seeing in the image. Who knows? You might see us jumping in your favorite game to check it out.

One Shots: Fowl play

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, New titles, Warhammer Online, One Shots


When we first heard about the mechanic to keep over-level players out of lower leveled RVR zones in Warhammer Online, we thought it was a creative way of dealing with potential griefing. Of course, a good sized group decided to get creative in return and figured that it would be fun to try overrunning a lower-level RVR area anyway. Today's One Shots was the rather strange result of it. Telenrion sent this in to us here with the following note: This was taken in the Warhammer Online T1 Open RvR area during Open Beta. An army of chickens showed up. They eventually attacked, and cornered a Magus. Whether one of them got the killing blow, only that chicken knows, but he did die in a mass of feathered fury. Now all we want is for dead chickens to drop drumsticks. Yum!

Have you seen something bizarre in your gaming? Have you run a-fowl of a weird situation? If so, you need to send those screenshots in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com so we can share them with the rest of the world. Remember to include your character's name/server/guild and a quick description. Otherwise we have to keep egging you on to send them.

One Shots: Rikti invasion chaos

Filed under: Super-hero, Screenshots, City of Heroes, Events, in-game, One Shots


As many City of Heroes players know, this last week has been chock full of great xp and adventure. What could possibly make heroes show up en masse and lay the smack down? How about an enormous Rikti invasion? Sure, the Rikti gave us the technology that allows us to teleport here and there, rez in the hospitals and whatnot, but when the aliens show up, it's time to protect Paragon City. The above City of Heroes One Shots was snapped by this blogger during an invasion in Talos Island just a few days ago, showing the teeming masses of heroes defending the Virtue server from invasion.

If you've been involved in an invasion, RvR, PvP, or an awesome storyline, we want to see your screenshots! Just send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/group/server and a quick description. We'll format them up and post them for the world to see, and you'll get all the credit.

One Shots: Sunset with a friend

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Warhammer Online, One Shots


We've seen many things out of Warhammer Online, but sunsets and images from the Order side of the house have been few and far between. That said, this lovely screenshot today makes up ground for both lovely sunsets and Order players! Today's One Shots comes to us from the White Lion Slatch from Ulthuan, who, along with his War Lion Rawr, took a moment to enjoy a lovely sunset off the coast of Ellyrion after "a hard day of RvR." We're certainly glad to see it, and hope many more Warhammer Online players (both Order and Destruction) will send in their cool screenshots too. We know we can't have seen all this world has to offer as yet.

Something old, something new, something freaky, something... well, anything really. We're all about your screenshots. If you've run across a scene that's cool, interesting, or off the wall, we'd love to see a screen from you. Just send it to oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/server/guild and a brief description. Your screenshot could be the next one featured here on Massively!

One Shots: Midnight riders

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Lord of the Rings Online, One Shots


It seems that the recent festival has brought in more Lord of the Rings Online pictures in from far and wide. Today's One Shots shows off a kinship riding off for adventure courtesy of a ride from the last festival! Rhedbjerd writes in and tells us more about this particular screenshot: This one didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, but it's a pic of the Laer En Tul Acharn kinship crossing the Ford of Bruinen in the central Trollshaws on the way to Rivendell. You can't really see it, but we're all on the summer festival horses. What impresses us is that you can see the horses reflected in the water too. Nice touch!

Do you have a screenshot showing your guild, kinship, battlegroup, or [insert group name here] heading off into battle, adventure, cat herding or shenanigans together? Grab those screenshots and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/group/server and a quick description. We'll post them up for all to see and give you the credit!

One Shots: I'm a monster. Rawr!

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, New titles, Warhammer Online, One Shots


It's the attack of the 50-foot Chaos female! Okay, okay, not really. This is actually one of those easter eggs we mentioned the other day, which appears to show off a wee teeny little Empire village. Today's One Shot comes to us from Snacky, who is playing on the server Sylvania. Snacky has managed to find both the moon easter egg and this one -- along with another one in Warhammer Online that we'll be posting in the next few days. We're still amused that you can get a title for clicking on yourself a hundred times, so WAR having extra 'eggs' doesn't surprise us at all.

If you've found something out of the way in your favorite game, strange, unusual, or interesting, we'd love to see it! Just send your screenshots to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/server/guild and a quick description. We'll post them up here for everyone to puzzle out just how you got there. (Of course, you could tell us, but that's optional.)

World of Warcraft
One Shots: If you thought Fel Reavers were bad

Filed under: World of Warcraft, Betas, Fantasy, Screenshots, New titles, One Shots


Today we'd like to introduce you to the Northrend's bigger, badder version of the Fel Reaver, courtesy of this awesome screenshot sent in to us by Deadend, who is playing on the Northrend server in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. This great big fellow is called a Storm Giant, and you can generally find them stomping around in places like Howling Fjord. To give you a better frame of reference, WoWwiki states that if you were to put a Fel Reaver up next to a Storm Giant, the Fel Reaver would only come as high as the Storm Giant's chest. As you can imagine, this means you're likely to be toejam that much faster when you first jump into Wrath. Squish!

Are you one of the legion who are still playing World of Warcraft? Have you been exploring lots of cool things that are in the Wrath of the Lich King beta? If so, we'd love to see some of the content you've been experiencing. Just send those screenshots to us with your name/server/guild and a quick note as to what we're seeing. We'll put them up here for the rest of the world to "ooh" and "aaah" over.

One Shots: I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, New titles, Warhammer Online, One Shots


If your head explodes with dark forbodings too -- well that's just Chaos. Or more properly, it's an easter egg area found by adventurous Chaos players who fully explore Warhammer Online's Inevitable City. Today's dark screenshot comes to us from Vayn of the guild Tzeentch Hates Standoffs on the Wolfenburg server. Of course, this is not the only place you can get to; we've been sent screenshots of some of the other areas that we'll be showing off as well. You just have to let your adventurous spirit wander, for there are many easter eggs to be found in Warhammer Online!

Have you found an easter egg in your favorite game? Perhaps you've traveled well off the beaten path and found some village or monument rarely seen? Whatever your reason, whatever your egg, whatever your game -- we want your screenshots! Just send those to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/guild/server and a quick description. We'll show your adventurous achievement to the world!

World of Warcraft
One Shots: Masquerade!

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Lord of the Rings Online, One Shots


Not sure what to make of this merry scene? Don't be afraid -- those aren't scarecrows. Today's One Shots shows off another fun image from Lord of the Rings Online, this time featuring some of the silly pumpkin/gourd masks you can get as part of the Harvest Festival! Perthir, our regular One Shots contributor sent this in to us and explains:

Left to right pumpkin heads are Perthir, Shamone and Graemir, the Beaver in front is Sindarin. To earn the masks we spent some time Trick & Treating around Middle Earth! We're stood in front of the Defenders of the White Tree (EU Eldar) kinhouse.

We dig the LotRO Harvest Festival masks, but have to admit that pumpkins always make us want pumpkin pie. Mmmm. If you've got any great screenshots of an accomplishment your guild/fellowship/group/corp/etc has achieved, or just screens of you all being silly together, we'd love to see them. Just send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name/guild/server and whatever information you'd like to give us on what's going on in the screenshot. We'll make your image Internet famous!*

Gallery: One Shots


*Well, we'll host it anyway. You'll have to make it awesome for true Internet fame.

One Shots: Hidden eagle's nest

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Warhammer Online, One Shots


This is perhaps one of the more off the wall screens we've seen from Warhammer Online as yet. We see a wee teeny player in a giant nest with floating ships in the air behind it. As Excelsior explained when he sent this One Shots in: the eagles nest pic is in, you guessed it, an eagles nest. But I refuse to give any details of how to get there or even where it is. As such, we'll have to rely on you readers! If you know where this eagle's nest is in Warhammer Online, leave us a comment! (If you don't, now you have something to go hunting.)

We love adventurers who find strange and unusual things in the familiar landscapes of games we've seen. For that matter, we love seeing games we haven't seen too! If you've got something new to show us (even if the only real difference is you and your friends in the image) you should send it in. Pop them into an email to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with a quick description, your name, server, or guild if you'd like. We'll post it here for everyone.

One Shots: Fishing up a great fall day

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Lord of the Rings Online, One Shots


Fall is here! We feel it in the crisp evening air, the cooler temperatures, and of course the denizens of Middle-earth notice because of the return of the Harvest Festival in Lord of the Rings Online. Players from near and far will be gearing up to enjoy the festivities, so we're bringing you this awesome One Shots sent in today from Emah, who is a member of the Laer En Tul Acharn kinship on the Nimrodel server. Emah writes to tell us that this was shot in Halecatch lake, just south of Bree, and features many of their Kinship just hanging out and enjoying time together fishing.

If you've got a screenshot of your guild doing something -- from the mundane to the awesome -- we'd love to see it! Role-play events are also welcomed, as we'd love to hear about what you're doing. (Especially if you're doing it again where others can pop by and enjoy the fun!) Just send those to us here along with the details and your name/guild/server to oneshots AT massively DOT com. We'll take care of the rest!
