In a few days, Season 13 of Diablo 3 will come to an end. Then there will be a short pause, and after that, Season 14 will continue. We have the start and end times of Season 13 and 14 for you.
If you want to achieve goals in Season 13 of Diablo III, you should hurry. The current season ends on Sunday, June 3, at 5:00 PM German time. Then you have about two weeks to prepare for the next chapter. Season 14 of Diablo 3 starts on Friday, June 15, at 5:00 PM German time.
On the evening of June 3, your seasonal characters will be transformed into normal characters. It will only take a few days until the new season begins.
The fact that Season 14 starts on a Friday shows that there is no significant patch ahead. In the past, Blizzard launched new seasons of Diablo 3 with large patches earlier in the week to give developers enough time to fix potential issues by the weekend. Season 12, for example, started on a Thursday.
Why even have a new season when there is no patch?
On Reddit, players ask why Blizzard even performs a season reset when there are no changes in the game.
In response, players explain that the starts of new seasons are a lot of fun. Due to the season reset, every player has to start from scratch in a season. Especially in the first days after the start of a season, the rush for Diablo 3 is great. Masses of players race to see who can reach the high levels of characters and Nephalem Rifts first.
This race will start again when the gates to Season 14 open on Friday (June 15) at 5:00 PM.
Season Transition – What do you keep?
At the end of Season 13, some items from the seasonal characters will be transferred to the non-seasonal characters:
Gold
Paragon experience points
Blood shards
Items
Crafting progress
Loot stash
Achievements
Kanais Cube
Rewards like transmogifications
All of this will be available with the non-seasonal characters. Items like armor or weapons will be sent to you via in-game mail.

Finally, PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) players on the Xbox One can finally play on the new Miramar map. Until now, only testers on the console and players on the PC had this opportunity. We look at the patch notes.
A major update is coming for the battle royale shooter PUBG on the Xbox One. Starting May 24 at 09:00 AM German time, console players can play on the desert map Miramar. In addition to the new map, the update brings many improvements.
Contents of the PUBG Xbox May Update – Patch Notes
Miramar is the second map in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and is finally coming to consoles. It is approximately the same size as Erangel, the first map of PUBG. Visually, instead of starting in green Erangel with many fields, you begin in the desert of Miramar, which even features a prison as a location.
The fact that you will finally have Miramar on the Xbox One starting Thursday is the biggest change in the update. The goal is to provide players with more variety in their matches. However, other things are changing as well.
Faster Loading Times: With the May update, loading times for maps are expected to be shortened, and the overall performance improved. A new loading system prioritizes loading the location where a player lands. This aims to address issues like missing house textures after landing.
More PC Features on Xbox: The update also unlocks emotes and general UI improvements that PC players have been enjoying for a while.
Bug Fixes: Players should no longer get stuck when leaning to one side. Additionally, the update should ensure that the markings of your teammates are accurately displayed on the map.
You can read the complete patch notes with all bug fixes and improvements here in the PUBG forums.
In Stardew Valley, you can now invite the entire guild to your farm. The “Unlimited Players Mod” removes the limits on the maximum number of players for multiplayer on Steam.
The recently launched cooperative multiplayer beta allows you to adventure in Stardew Valley with up to four players. This limitation is lifted by the Unlimited Players Mod .
This means you can invite as many friends to your farm as you like, and the big MMO farmer party can begin. However, just like in the original cooperative beta version, you currently still need a separate cabin for each invited person.
The Unlimited Players Mod is new and is still under development: In the future, the mod aims to ensure that you can build at least more than one cabin per day. However, there are also plans to completely lift the cabin limit. Then you wouldn’t need to build a cabin for each invited person.
Keep in mind that with a large number of players, performance issues might arise if you want to try out the mod. Here on Nexus-Mods you will find the instructions to download the mod.
What do you think of a Stardew Valley MMO?
Agriculture also plays an important role in the MMO “Life is Feudal”:
To the astonishment of numerous Guardians, Bungie recently disabled the gear feature on apps and third-party sites for Destiny 2. Now it becomes clear why. The reason was an exploit that allowed players to reach the max power level of 385 in a very short time.
App features disabled: Shortly before the start of the first Iron Banner of Season 3, numerous Guardians were surprised to find that the equip feature of apps and sites like Ishtar Commander, Destiny Item Manager, or Bungie’s own Companion App no longer worked. The transfer feature could still be used normally.
Subsequently, Bungie announced that the equip feature for the respective apps and sites had been disabled. The studio did not provide reasons for this.

Exploit is the reason for the restrictions: Some time later, the reason became apparent. A randomly discovered exploit made the rounds among players. Some Guardians abused the gear mechanics to make their way to the new level cap easier.
With a trick, it became possible to reach the new maximum power level of 385 in a short time. Tutorials were found on YouTube and in some forums. In the meantime, the relevant posts have been deleted.
Equip feature exploit helps players to max level
With the trick, players equipped an item via apps or sites that they simultaneously deleted. This resulted in the corresponding gear slot becoming empty. They followed this methodology until only one item remained – the one with the highest power level value. The game then considered this value as the power level of the respective character.
If, for example, one had a 365 helmet, the game assumed a character level of 365 and thus dropped high-level items from corresponding sources. They then equipped the new stronger item and continued to abuse this trick until they reached the maximum level.
Bungie seems to have quickly put a stop to the exploit by disabling the equip feature, to prevent even more players from abusing this mechanics. When a permanent solution will be provided is not yet known.
Slowly, the first builds for the The Elder Scrolls Online addon Summerset are coming out. Starting off is the Magicka Sorcerer, a DPS build for the ESO Sorcerer with the Burning Spellweave set.
Due to some changes in gameplay, the builds in ESO have also changed. ProNDC presents a good Magicka Sorcerer in a video, who outputs decent DPS with Summerset .
How to play a good Magicka Sorcerer with the Burning Spellweave set
General. Focus everything on Magicka and use the Blessing: Apprentice and the Clockwork Lemon Fillet.
This equipment is ideal. As equipment for the DPS Sorcerer, use the following:
2x Burning Spellweave Ring on “Arcane”
Burning Spellweave Necklace on “Arcane”
Front: Burning Spellweave Fire Staff on “Infused” with fire damage glyph
Back: Maelstrom Fire Staff on “Infused” with magic damage glyphs
As a 5-piece set, the Perfect Mantle of Siroria
As a 2-piece Monster Set, “Zaan” is used
You will have to farm the items first.
Which skills should the Sorcerer use? Skills are of course important, so you should place a lot of value on effective skills.
Skill bar front:
The main skill is the Elemental Weapon
Here, the passive abilities of Vision and Magic Sphere from the Psijik Order are especially useful
Crystal Fragments of Dark Magic with passive ability Exploit
Lightning Flood or Mage’s Fury
Inner Light
Bound Aegis
Destruction Staff ability Fiery Wrath
Skill bar back:
Fire Blockade
Haunting Curse or Lightning Flood
Inner Light or Concentrated Barrier
Bound Aegis
Empowered Protection
Starfall or Greater Stormatronach
Distribution of Champion Points for the Sorcerer with Summerset: When it comes to Champion Points, it is worthwhile to invest in the following:

In FIFA 18 the TOTW 36 (Team of the Week 36) is known. These players receive Inform cards in Ultimate Team.
The 2017/2018 season is now definitely coming to an end, and this is also reflected in the TDW. There are fewer and fewer stars in the Team of the Week.
The focus is clearly on the Team of the Season and the upcoming World Cup mode. The latter even brings new ratings for all participating players.
On Wednesday, May 23, the TDW 36 will be available from 7 PM in sets. You can pull the cards for a week.
As suspected, the TOTW 36 looks extremely unspectacular. The best player is Franco Vazquez with an 87. Also, Ante Rebic is missing; he would receive a “Man of the Match” card and no Inform.
TOTW 36 – Ratings of Player Cards in Ultimate Team
These were the predictions for Team of the Week 36 in FUT 18
TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players would have earned a spot in the upcoming Team of the Week. These predictions never completely align with the official TOTW, and it is therefore risky, to operate on the transfer market based on them, yet they provide a good overview of which players could receive the coveted special cards.
We provide an overview of forecasts from various FIFA sites.
What is the Team of the Week (TDW) in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This is also the case in FIFA 18. Players who performed outstandingly in real football during the past week are rewarded with special cards that have enhanced attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from the sets that can contain rare (Gold) players. However, the chance for that is considered low.
Moreover, it is possible for you to buy these on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are usually extremely high. If you want to buy one of the new informs for your team, it is advisable to purchase it at the beginning of the next week, as they will then be cheaper.
The battle royale shooter H1Z1 has released on PS4. 200,000 players joined on the first day, but can the game retain its players this time? This is now the third hype of the game, but there have also been two crises. We take a look at the tumultuous history of H1Z1.
200,000 joined: It has been three and a half years since H1Z1 was first playable on PC. Yesterday, on May 22nd, it was finally available on PS4. 200,000 players wanted to test the free shooter. This led to server issues and difficulties. But it was a great success for the game. This is the third spring of H1Z1. We ask: What happened to the other two?
The 1st hype: 2015 in early access with zombies
H1Z1 – the zombie years: In January 2015, H1Z1 was released in early access on PC. At that time, the game was still a survival MMO. Players could build and fought for survival. Their enemies were zombies infected by the virus “H1Z1”. The game was hastily put together to ride the coattails of the “Walking Dead” zombie hype train. The studio was actually working on another game, then experimented with the H1Z1 idea and fell in love with the concept. Fans loudly demanded a release as an early access title.
Rotted at the core: The game was indeed successful. But relatively quickly, H1Z1 ran out of steam. It was too unfinished and buggy. However, despite the problems, over a million copies of the game were sold by March 2015. The developers promised to further develop H1Z1 in close collaboration with the community. But behind the scenes, they had other plans.
Smedley’s vision: The head of Sony Online Entertainment at the time, John Smedley, was a visionary who foresaw the gaming landscape of today back in 2015. Smedley believed that Twitch would be the new gaming medium and fully invested in a game that would be suitable for the streaming platform. And he predicted the “battle royale” hype even back then.
The 2nd hype: 2016/2017 – Pioneer of battle royale
Stumbled upon Twitch gold: In 2015 and 2016, H1Z1 gradually moved away from the idea of a “survival MMO”. Smedley brought in PlayerUnknown, Brendan Greene, as an expert to develop his “battle royale” mode for H1Z1. The mode was still a niche thing, rooted in the modding community of ArmA and DayZ. In H1Z1’s battle royale, players no longer faced zombies but each other. The new mode was a huge success on Twitch – even though H1Z1 was still quite buggy.
PvE players feel neglected: The sudden success of H1Z1 as a “battle royale shooter” diverted development in another direction. The zombie mode was increasingly neglected. There was no news about a “release” or the announced port to PS4 and Xbox One. Yet, the battle royale shooter was only sparsely developed. Instead of polishing the game, the focus shifted entirely to Twitch, organizing large tournaments here. With high prize money, they attracted popular streamers to H1Z1. Visionary Smedley left the studio at the end of 2015 after issues with a hacker group.
The split: In 2016, the studio announced that they would split H1Z1 into two games:
The zombie part became “H1Z1: Just Survive” – and has hardly been developed since
The battle royale shooter became “H1Z1: King of the Kill.” Under this name, the great era began.
H1Z1 – the illegitimate parent of PUBG faces trouble with its son
The golden year: In 2016 and the first half of 2017, “King of the Kill” had hardly any competition in the battle royale genre. Despite many problems, H1Z1 became one of the biggest hits on Steam. However, the game’s further development was not very impressive either. They were living off the direction Smedley had set. In 2017, a live tournament of H1Z1 was even broadcast on US television.
Source: Githyp
2017 – Fortnite and PUBG end the rise: This rise was halted with the emergence of competitive battle royale games. PlayerUnknown had soon left H1Z1 and built his own game for Bluehole in Korea: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the massive hit of 2017 on PC. Smedley’s idea of having Brendan Greene develop a battle royale shooter for Twitch and Steam worked excellently – just not with H1Z1, but with PUBG.
When the free-to-play title “Fortnite: Battle Royale” came along, H1Z1 lost almost its entire player base: it dropped rapidly by 91%.
The 3rd hype: PS4 – Will it work this time?
How long will the hype last on PS4? We are currently experiencing the third spring of H1Z1. As a free battle royale shooter, the game seeks its fortune on PlayStation 4 and many are checking it out. Without having to fear the competition from PUBG and with some new ideas, an auto battle royale had success. 200,000 players on the first day is a significant number. The question is: “Will they stay this time?” With the current influx of players, it seems they hardly expected this – which is causing problems.
But a third hype is remarkable. After all, just a few weeks ago, things looked bleak for H1Z1:

Is Dauntless coming to PS4, Xbox One, or the Nintendo Switch? Currently, Dauntless is only planned for PC, but the developers have already indicated their willingness to bring Dauntless to consoles.
A fan question: Is one of the behemoths, Gnasher, based on a beaver, which is known to be Canada’s true national bird? The Canadian developer studio Phoenix Labs, which is also responsible for the development of Dauntless, confirms: Gnasher is a bird.
In the PVE missions of the action MMO Crossout, you have already faced the Leviathans as final bosses. Now you can control them yourself in PvP battles!
Big, Bigger, Leviathan!
The Leviathan game mode is here! “Clan Wars: Leviathans” is a new game mode where you build gigantic vehicles and fight in 4v4 battles.
How does the mode work? In Clan Wars: Leviathans, each team is led by a captain. Only the captain controls the Leviathan, which is built using a variety of weapon systems, armor, support modules, drones, and more. It is important that the captains use only the parts that are useful for their strategy in battle.
When the battle begins, the captain controls the Leviathan while the other team members protect him with their regular vehicles. The team that survives the battle wins.
There are also prizes to be won! Since the new mode Clan Wars: Leviathans is based on a leaderboard, the top 30 clans are rewarded with Uranium every week. Uranium is an important resource used to craft rare weapons. Or you can sell it profitably on the market.

Clan XP rewards are still faulty in Destiny 2 this week. The corresponding reward from Hawthorne still provides items below the current power level of the players. This is how you can circumvent the issue.
Clan XP bug still plagues players: Although some of the most annoying bugs were fixed with Hotfix 1.2.0.2, a known issue is still causing frustration among the Guardians this week.
After the weekly reset on May 22, it is clear – the Clan XP engram from Hawthorne still delivers rewards that are sometimes five levels below the players’ power level.
This once again removes one of the weekly opportunities for Guardians to increase their power level.
Bungie is working on a solution: A week ago, Bungie confirmed that this is a bug and that they are working on a solution. Until the problem is fixed on May 29 with a hotfix, the studio offers a temporary workaround.

This is how you can circumvent the bug: As with last week, you can bypass this error by not redeeming the milestone this week. At the next weekly reset on May 29, the Clan XP engram will then automatically decrypt. The contents will land in your inventory – then correspondingly with a higher power level.
But beware – the rewards will not be marked as new items in the inventory! Make sure you do not accidentally dismantle them.
Finally, there is a bonus event in the space online game Elite Dangerous – and some players are already complaining.
In the space online game Elite Dangerous, not many events take place. Now it’s here, but the developers are facing criticism: What is going on in space?
An event and not everyone is happy about it
What does the event offer? The “Extended Bonus Weekend” increases all profits from trading activities, with the amount of profit depending on what and where you send something. However, rare goods are excluded from the bonus. The costs for engineering your modules will also be reduced. The event takes place from May 24 to May 30.
The players are not happy. The community of Elite Dangerous consists of players who take the lore of the game world very seriously. Therefore, it is primarily criticized that this bonus weekend does not fit into the background story at all and seems extremely artificial and forced. Players believe that events should be better integrated into the game world and need to be logically explained. They should make sense from the lore perspective. Furthermore, some fans believe that this event promotes grinding.
But this of course does not concern all players, some are just happy.
How do the developers respond? Frontier Developments appears somewhat perplexed by the negative reactions. The developers simply wanted to create a fun event that might also lead some former players to return to the game.
After Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the PlayStation Store once again entices role-playing fans with a special deal. This time, the RPG epic The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is the current offer of the week.
Role-playing fans, pay attention: Until May 30, 2018, you can now secure the open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Editionat a low price for your PS4.
Offer of the Week – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
The fantasy RPG is currently available at a low price as the offer of the week in the PlayStation Store. You save 66% compared to the regular price if you grab the title now. We have linked the offer directly for you:
What is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition?
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered version of the single-player open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Special Edition includes all released expansions and offers new graphical effects. This remastered version was released on October 28, 2016, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
What is it about? The story of Skyrim takes you to the northern reaches of Tamriel – to the province of Skyrim. There is a civil war between the supporters of the Empire and the rebellious Stormcloaks. Furthermore, dragons suddenly appear in the province and threaten villages, towns, and settlements.
The player takes on the role of their choice and soon begins, more or less unwillingly, their career as a Dragonborn – a blood of dragons. Now, they must get to the bottom of the mysterious appearance of the dragons and determine their own fate.
What makes the game special? Skyrim offers pretty much everything an RPG lover could desire: a huge open world, countless quests, an exciting story, thrilling battles, and a complex character development.
During the thrilling journey through a picturesque world, players can take on any role they desire and then do whatever pleases them – complete decision-making freedom is clearly at the forefront of the fifth part of the Elder Scrolls series.

A leak of the cover of Battlefield 5 gives fans even more reasons for a WW2 setting. The image shows a paratrooper from World War 2.
Rumors have been circulating for weeks that the new Battlefield 5 will take place in World War II. A teaser trailer earlier this week already pointed clearly to this setting. A leak from the Chinese PlayStation Store shows a soldier in action. Fans say: “That is a US paratrooper” and see confirmation in details of the World War 2 assumption.
Battlefield 5 – Leak from the PS Store
On the evening of May 23, Battlefield 5 is set to be presented. But fans want to know what to expect beforehand.
In the new leak, they discover a M1911 pistol and an M1 Carbine rifle. Reddit user mamayev_bacon takes a close look and says: “He’s wearing a M1942 paratrooper uniform.” Additionally, they would recognize from the pockets and straps that it is probably a soldier from the 101st Airborne Division (Wiki).

Call of Duty was recently successful with its World War II setting and was able to excite many players for the shooter. Apparently, the thirst for this shooter setting in the gaming scene is not yet quenched.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, the PC servers in Europe and North America are currently down for maintenance. A fix for Japanese players is on the way: Patch 4.0.6 is aimed solely at them, as they had serious issues with Summerset.
What’s going on? Players want to explore the Summerset Isles, but the servers of TESO have been offline for maintenance since 10:00 AM. This affects the two PC megaservers of ESO. Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can continue to play as normal.
Japanese players hear and see nothing
Why are the servers offline? The background is a critical bug affecting Japanese players. They had neither Japanese text nor audio. Patch 4.0.6 is meant solely to fix their issues. The Elder Scrolls Online is one of the few Western MMORPGs that has made it to Japan. Since summer 2016, players have been able to play The Elder Scrolls Online there.
Will this also fix my problems? No, another update next week is expected to address issues related to Summerset. They promise “general bug fixes”. Currently, some players in ESO are experiencing login issues.
What’s in the new Patch 4.0.6 for The Elder Scrolls Online and how big is it? The new PC patch is approximately 65 MB in size. The patch only contains the fix for Japanese players to receive text and voice outputs in their language.
When will ESO be back up? It is currently unknown when the ESO megaservers for PC will be functional again. However, it should be quick.
Maintenance inconveniently interrupts the exploration of Summerset
How do people like Summerset so far? Quite well. That’s why some are so anxious because they can’t play right now. We addressed the community’s reactions to the new chapter Summerset in this article:
In Fortnite, players were able to return skins for a short time and received V-Bucks in return. However, this “selling of skins” in Fortnite was quickly disabled. There are now indications of when it might return: very soon.
What is this feature? The feature arrived a month ago, on April 24th, in Fortnite. Players could return three old skins and receive back the full amount of V-Bucks they previously paid for the item. However, only relatively “new” skins purchased within the last 30 days could be returned.
But it was quickly disabled: There apparently was a bug that allowed players to exploit the system. It seems that older skins and Battle Pass tiers were also returned. This was not actually planned. Therefore, the feature was only active for a few hours before Epic pulled it back. The outcry from players was significant: Some of those who missed it were quite frustrated.
In the bottom right is the button that leads to the return option.
Exchange action reportedly to be functional by June 1st
Feature back on June 1st? Supposedly, returning skins will be coming back very soon. The feature is expected to be active again by June 1st. Players will then once again be able to exchange up to three cosmetic purchases for V-Bucks. The feature is set to come with the update on May 29th.
How will the feature return? Probably just as originally planned. Players will only be able to return “recently purchased skins,” meaning not the old ones. Players had requested to be able to return the very old skins they no longer like, but that will likely not happen.
Is this official? Sort of. The information comes from a user. Via imgur and reddit, a player has published an email from Fortnite Customer Support. It could be a fake, but it looks quite real. However, even if the ticket is genuine, Epic’s plans for Fortnite might still change.
Dauntless will launch its Open Beta on PC on May 24 and will then be free to play for all players. Phoenix Labs released a cinematic trailer to celebrate, showcasing the floating islands known as Shattered Isles.
The video narrates the story of the floating islands that remain in the air due to a natural energy source called Aether. Monsters, known as Behemoths, feed on Aether and threaten the survival of humanity.
As a Slayer, you hunt these monsters and, just like the characters in the trailer, you start off as recruits, battling your way to glory and honor.
In World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, you will have the opportunity to unlock new races as playable factions. Everything about the requirements, unlocks, and abilities of Mag’har Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves can be found here.
Allied Races: The allied races are one of the core elements in the new WoW expansion Battle for Azeroth. They play an important role in the story and expand the options for character selection.
The guide contains spoilers about the story and plot of Battle for Azeroth.
The conflict between Horde and Alliance also includes new races.
Allied Races in Battle for Azeroth: Dark Iron Dwarves
The Dark Iron Dwarves are the “dark brothers” of the Dwarves from Ironforge and the Wildhammer Dwarves. They live in Blackrock Mountain and were slaves under the Elemental Lord Ragnaros for a long time. They join the Alliance thanks to Moira Thaurissan, daughter of Magni Bronzebeard, who married the former Emperor of the Dark Iron Dwarves.
Fireblood: Removes all poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleeding effects and increases your primary stat by 231 and additionally by 77 per removed effect. Lasts for 8 seconds. 2-minute cooldown.
Digging Machine: Summons a digging machine that burrows through the ground in outdoor areas. 30-minute cooldown.
Flameforged: Reduces damage taken from physical attacks by 1 percent. Passive.
Mass Production: Increases smithing skill by 5 and smithing speed by 25 percent. Passive.
Classes: Dark Iron Dwarves can become Warriors, Paladins, Hunters, Rogues, Priests, Shamans, Mages, Warlocks, or Monks.
The requirements to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves
You must own Battle for Azeroth.
The character with which you want to unlock the race must have reached level 120.
You must have completed the Alliance War Campaign.
You must have a Revered reputation with the 7th Legion.
The Alliance prepares for the attack on Undercity at the harbor of Stormwind.
The recruitment scenario
The Dark Iron Dwarves help the Alliance in researching the new material Azerite. To see the progress of the specialists, an envoy invites you to Blackrock Mountain. However, they are attacked by Goblins.
The blacksmith hammer Ironbane has been stolen, and you must help the Dark Iron Dwarves reclaim it. With the hammer, the dwarves can process the Azerite on the Black Anvil while you protect them.
After you help the dwarves process the Azerite, you will be sent back. They will then join the Alliance as an allied race.
Heritage Armor and mount
The Heritage Armor is a cosmetic transmog for your armor. If you want to have the Heritage Armor of the Dark Iron Dwarves, you must play a Dark Iron Dwarf from level 120 from the start.
You start at level 20 and may not use a level boost. However, you may use heirlooms and potions like the Elixir of Ancient Knowledge or the Elixir of the Stormcrafter.
The race-specific mount, a Core Hound, will likely be obtained along with the achievement for the allied race after completing the scenario.
Allied Races in Battle for Azeroth: Mag’har Orcs
The Mag’har Orcs are a surviving tribe of Orcs in the alternate Draenor from Warlords of Draenor who refused to drink the demonic blood. Their skin did not turn green but remained brown. Their chieftain is Grommash Hellscream, who did not die in the battle against Mannoroth in this world.
They join the Horde through the help of the war hero Eitrigg, who leads them from alternate Draenor to present-day Azeroth.
Call of the Ancestors: Calls upon the spirits of your ancestors who grant you their power. Increases a secondary stat by 102 for 15 seconds. 2-minute cooldown.
Free Wind: Increases your mount speed by 10%. Passive.
Compassionate Lifeforce: Increases health of companions by 10%. Passive.
Wildblood: Reduces the duration of poisons, diseases, and curses by 10%. Passive.
Classes: Mag’har Orcs can become Warriors, Hunters, Rogues, Priests, Shamans, Mages, or Monks.
The requirements to unlock Mag’har Orcs
You must own Battle for Azeroth.
The character with which you want to unlock the race must have reached level 120.
You must have completed the Horde War Campaign.
You must have a Revered reputation with the Honorbound.
For the Horde, the war begins with the defense of Undercity.
The recruitment scenario
The scenario begins when the Orc Eitrigg convinces Sylvanas to open a portal to alternate Draenor. He intends to recruit the Mag’har there to strengthen the Horde on Azeroth.
However, upon arriving in Draenor, you discover that the Draenei living there have developed a fanatical belief in the Light and begin to force the Orcs under their will. Those who do not comply die.
The Draenei are convinced they must convert their world. Chieftain Grommash Hellscream resists this and sacrifices himself so that you can flee back to Azeroth with the Mag’har through the portal.
Yrel will become your opponent in the scenario.
Heritage Armor and mount
You will obtain the Heritage Armor of the Mag’har just like that of the Dark Iron Dwarves, presumably by leveling a Mag’har from level 20 to max level. Heirlooms and experience potions are allowed, but no level boosts of any kind.
The mount of the Mag’har, a black wolf, will also likely come along with the achievement after the scenario.
When can the allied races be unlocked? Both races will be playable with the release of Battle for Azeroth on August 14. From then on, you will only need to meet the requirements.

What is the situation with The Elder Scrolls Online two days after the launch of the new chapter Summerset on PC? And why are the servers currently down? A look into the ESO community.
Reddit is raving: The subreddits of individual MMORPGs each have their own character. While some games’ forums have turned into a desert, Reddit users are currently loving their The Elder Scrolls Online. Two days after the PC launch of Summerset, you can see threads like in the ESO Subreddit:
I can’t handle how beautiful Summerset is, I think I’ll stay here
Someone also praises that NPCs react to the player character in dialogue, as Razum-dar asserts: “Some of the best friends of this are lizards.”
Users are posting screenshots of landscapes and special views. The mood on Reddit is cheerful after the release in 2018.
Better mood than a year ago after Morrowind
It wasn’t always like this: A year ago with Morrowind, Reddit had viewed the chapter more critically:
Back then, many were annoyed that Morrowind had to be purchased separately; otherwise, as a subscriber, you simply received content – this is still the case with Summerset, but seemingly bothers few, they have gotten used to it
Also, that Morrowind offered less content than the flagship DLC “Orsinium” annoyed many back then.
And there were problems because a new class came with Morrowind. Players felt that ESO nerfed the existing classes to make the new class more “desirable”. This also annoyed some back then. One of the most important YouTubers of ESO, Deltia’s Gaming, withdrew from the game. However, he is back now.
With Summerset, the mood seems to be significantly more positive without such backlash.
Classic fantasy setting: After the volcanic island of Morrowind, Summerset is now a classic fantasy setting on a picturesque island. Such a “high-fantasy” setting seems to resonate well with the players of The Elder Scrolls Online.
So is everything great? Not entirely; some players in the ESO forum are complaining about login issues. Some cannot get into the game at all. Zenimax has already announced that they are working on it.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Servers currently offline for maintenance
Maintenance today: At 10:00 AM on Wednesday, the servers will be taken down for maintenance. Apparently, several minor issues are to be resolved. This is causing some frustration: “What is with the stupid maintenance?” asks a forum thread. Players seemingly do not want to be without their The Elder Scrolls Online right now: A good sign.
