The Korean online role-playing game Bless is coming to Steam in early access in early 2018. Meanwhile, there is more information from the developer. The MMORPG Bless is expected to be available in German during early access.
At the Twitch Con 2017, there was more information about Bless.
Bless is coming in German and without Pay2Win
During the Twitch Con 2017, several questions about Bless were addressed in a FAQ:
The early access will take place in 2018. There will be time-limited tests before that. More information about the launch will be announced later.
There will be EA packages that provide advantages. Neowiz will still determine what the final payment model will look like, taking player feedback into account.
There should definitely be no Pay2Win in Bless!
They want to release Bless in as many regions as possible.
By the time of early access, Bless is expected to be translated into English, Russian, and German. Additional languages will be added during early access.
Some players will have the opportunity to test again before the EA release and provide feedback.
Especially the news about the German translation at the start of early access is a good piece of news. Other Asian games – like Revelation Online – are still waiting for a German localization, and players are angry!
In Warframe, you can get loyal pets. They assist you on missions and make your spaceship more homely. Kubrows are reminiscent of dogs and are proud fighters. Kavats are more like cunning cats. We introduce you to the companions.
Even if you prefer to play the multiplayer game Warframe alone, you should never be alone. As a Space Ninja, you have galactic pets at your disposal that support you as loyal companions.
But be careful! Such a pet comes with responsibilities, just like in real life. You must care for the little creatures, monitor their health, and give them affection. Only then will they become strong and useful companions.
However, you don’t get the pets for free. You must meet a few requirements to acquire a pet. We present the Kubrows and Kavats and explain how to get them.
Do you like dogs? Then the Kubrow is the right pet in Warframe for you!
Kubrows are the best friends of the Tenno and behave like dogs. When you come “home” to your spaceship, the Kubrows greet you with a cheerful wag of their tails. Sometimes they even playfully bark at you and give a satisfied grunt when you pet them.
On missions, Kubrows become combat machines and protect you. They knock enemies down, bite their throats out, and do not shy away from any confrontation.
There are 6 different Kubrow breeds, each with a different main ability.
Chesa: Collects scattered mods for its master.
Raksa: Scares nearby enemies away with its howl.
Huras: Makes its master and itself invisible.
Sunika: Drags VIP opponents (capture targets) to the ground and holds them.
Sahasa: Digs up energy and health orbs for its master.
Helminth: Pulls enemies with its snapping tongue and then tramples them down.
Kubrows hatch from eggs and here’s how to get them
You can get Kubrows relatively quickly. However, you must first accomplish a few things:
Start the quest “The Howling of the Kubrows.”
To receive the quest, you must first unlock the Venus-Mercury bridge
Follow the quest instructions
During the quest, you will receive the segment for an incubator
Now you need a Kubrow egg. You get the Kubrow egg on Earth by destroying Kubrow dens. (If Kubrows come towards you, follow their origin to find the dens)
Get an incubator energy core blueprint for credits in the market (Search for “incubator” in the search bar)
Farm the required resources
Now you can start incubation, wait 24 hours, and your puppy will hatch! You complete the quest “The Howling of the Kubrows” by getting a collar for the Kubrow on Earth. After that, the dog may join the battle.
Are you more of a cat person? Then get yourself a cunning Kavat!
Kavats are the perfect pets for the cat lovers among you. When you come “home” from exhausting missions back to your spaceship, they snuggle up to your hands, purring. Or they throw themselves on their backs and claw at your arm – just as a cat should!
Kavats can help you on missions and mainly have supportive main traits. There are 2 types of Kavats:
Adarza: Increases the critical hit chance of the Tenno
Smeeta: Can bring luck to its owner
Kavats live in places affected by the “Infestation” and feed on Infested, a kind of mutant. The cats are difficult to spot as they can camouflage and become invisible.
You need genetic codes to get a Kavat
The breeding of Kavats works differently than with Kubrows because you do not need eggs. For the cats, you first have to scan wild Kavats to obtain their genetic code. From the codes, you create clones of the Kavats and thus obtain your kittens.
For a Kavat:
First, complete the quest “The Howling of the Kubrows” to receive an incubator segment.
Upgrade your incubator with the segment “Incubator Segment: Kavat Upgrade”. This segment is a rare drop from the enemies “Hyekka Masters” or through research in the Tenno lab of the Clan Dojo.
You need 10x “Genetic Code: Kavat, which you get by scanning wild Kavats. You can find wild Kavats in the Orokin wrecks. (If you build the Kavat upgrade segment from a blueprint, you need an additional 10 genetic codes for this)
You still need the incubator energy core. You can get this as a blueprint for credits in the market (Search for “incubator” in the search bar)
Now you can start the incubation and later welcome your new Kavat kitten! Depending on the breed, the incubation can take up to 48 hours.
Your pets can die if you’re not careful
The DNA of the Kubrows and Kavats destabilizes by 10 percent every 24 hours, which can lead to their death. To prevent this, you must supply the little creatures with DNA stabilizers. In the market, you can get 6 stabilizers for 75,000 credits.
One stabilizer increases the DNA stability of the Kubrows and Kavats by 40 percent again. You must regularly provide your active animals with them if you don’t want to lose them!
A tip: You can get a Nutrio upgrade segment for your incubator.
The segment ensures that the DNA stability of the pets decreases by only 5 percent each day.
The upgrade will also automatically put your animals into stasis should the DNA stability fall below 0.
You can obtain the blueprint for the Nutrio upgrade segment in the Tenno lab of a clan.
If you should be away for a longer time and cannot supply the animals with DNA stabilizers, put your active pets into stasis. This puts them into a cold sleep, and you can wake them when you’re back in the game.
The most important thing at the end: Don’t forget to pet them!
Your Kubrows especially suffer when you do not give them affection. You must pet them regularly, meaning carry out an interaction to make your dogs happy.
If you forget to pet them for too long, your Kubrow’s loyalty will drop, and it will become weaker in battle! The loyalty can even drop to the point where the Kubrow no longer wants to support you on missions.
And Kavats are just cats.They grant you the honor of being able to pet them– they will even reward their subordinate Tenno with a purr. However, they do not require the interaction, and it provides no bonus.
You can see how petting looks in this video:

The Blizzcon 2017 is over, and fans of World of Warcraft can look forward to a lot of content in the future. With all the excitement around Battle for Azeroth and WoW Classic, J. Allen Brack seemed to have forgotten to announce the release of Antorus, the Burning Throne in November!
The promised content for WoW in the coming time has set many gamers’ hearts racing. Blizzard knows how to build hype. However, amidst all the information, WoW: Legion seemed to fall a bit by the wayside.
After the announcements regarding the Classic servers, the new addon Battle for Azeroth, and the changes in Patch 7.3.5, there was no clear statement about when the last raid of Legion would be released.
Antorus Release: No one asks in the Q&A – so players directly ask the boss!
The WoW player AshTag finally set off after the panels to speak personally with Executive Producer J. Allen Brack. He assured that Antorus, the Burning Throne, is set to be deployed on the American servers on November 28.
Twitter user Rho from Realm Maintenance sought confirmation of this information. After a brief conversation with Brack, he tweeted that the information is correct and the raid will indeed be released on the mentioned date.
I actually just spoke with J Allen Brack and he outright confirmed this. This is legit. Thanks Ash. https://t.co/xKQ2XmlrD2
For Europe, this means that WoW players can start exploring Antorus from November 29. There is no exact indication of which wing will open when. However, based on past experience, the schedule should look approximately like this:
November 29: Opening of Antorus, the Burning Throne in normal and heroic mode.
December 6: Mythic mode and the first LFR wing with the Garothi Worldbreaker, the Felhounds of Sargeras, and the Antoran Command.
December 20: second LFR wing with Portal Keeper Hasabel, Eonar the Lifebinder, and Imonar the Soulhunter.
January 2: third LFR wing with Kin’garoth, Varimathras, and the Circle of Shivarra.
January 16: last LFR wing with Aggramar and Argus, the Unmaker.
There is no official confirmation of the dates; the above list is derived from observations of the last releases.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Bungie is deploying Hotfix 1.0.6.2 to the PC version of Destiny 2 today, on November 6th. This update aims to fix massive issues introduced by the last update.
Last week, Bungie released the PC-specific Hotfix 1.0.6.1 for download. This was meant to address an issue with the clan overview and a problem with performance drops.
The clan overview is now working perfectly, but as countless Guardians report: the performance issues are now significantly worse. In other words, while one problem has been resolved, a new, even bigger annoyance has been introduced.
These performance issues manifest as Destiny 2 stuttering severely. There are reports of “micro-freezes.” They are so severe that the game can freeze for up to a second at times.
Bungie announced a few hours after the update: They are aware of the “frame rate stuttering” and are investigating it. Today, on November 6th, this stuttering will be fixed.
Update 1.0.6.2 – All Information
No maintenance work with server downtime is announced. Here are the details that Bungie provides:
Destiny 2 on PC will receive Hotfix 1.0.6.2 on November 6th.
Once the hotfix is available, you will be returned to the login screen – but only after you have finished your ongoing activity.
Some PC players may also need to close and restart Destiny 2 to download the hotfix.
If you have installed the hotfix and want to form a fireteam with Guardians who have not yet installed the hotfix, the Sheep error code may occur.
Hotfix 1.0.6.2 will not be released for consoles PS4 and Xbox One.
A specific time for the hotfix is not mentioned. It is likely to go live late in the afternoon or in the evening locally.

The full patch notes for 1.0.6.2 will be released once the update is available. So far, Bungie only shares that it will address the hitching issues introduced with 1.0.6.1. This refers to the stuttering.
Let’s hope that this hotfix does not introduce new problems.
World of Warcraft receives its next expansion with Battle for Azeroth – without random Legendaries, but with Titanforging. The legendary items are disappearing from WoW.
Battle for Azeroth was introduced as a new expansion for WoW at Blizzcon 2017. The preview of Kul Tiras and Zandalar is promising. At the same time, there are concerns among fans that some mistakes could be repeated.
However, Blizzard has learned from the past and listens to the community. Game Director Ion Hazzikostas announced that the Legendary system will NOT be carried over to Battle for Azeroth. Titanforging (translated: titanforged items) will remain part of the game – with restrictions.
No more random Legendaries!
Hardly any other topic is as controversially discussed in World of Warcraft: Legion as Legendaries. In the livestream from streamer Jesse Cox at Blizzcon, Ion Hazzikostas announced that they will disappear in this form in Battle for Azeroth:
“The system of about a hundred Legendaries that can be obtained through any activity will not be present in Battle for Azeroth. Some of the experiences we had with customization and interesting items will be transferred into the ‘Heart of Azeroth’ system, in which players can personalize certain armor pieces according to their preferences.
It is not a system characterized by randomness, but by progress. We have learned a lot from it, so experiences from the Artifact and Legendary systems can be integrated into the “Heart of Azeroth”. We aim to give players goals to strive for. They should be able to customize their character to fit their play style.”
Titanforging – Not banned, but adjusted
Another major criticism of Legion has long been Titanforging. This means that items can randomly appear several item levels higher, thereby outclassing supposedly better items. The system will be retained – but it will not be applied to the Azerite pieces for the Heart of Azeroth.
“The Azerite pieces for armor cannot be warforged or titanforged. They are fixed, as they already have enough depth. They possess a personalizing character, which is why they should be relatively straightforward. I obtain a mythic item that replaces my heroic one – a clear improvement.

For all other items, gloves, bracers, trinkets, and so on, we are very satisfied with the system. If anything, the factors need to be adjusted a bit, as it can quickly feel like only titanforged equipment provides an improvement.”
What does this mean for Battle for Azeroth?
In the current version of World of Warcraft, the Artifact weapon and Legendaries primarily determine how strong a character is. These changes will bring a piece of freedom of expression and potential choice back.
The most important point is that, due to the absence of Legendaries, some armor slots will no longer be blocked by “Best in Slot” items, without which the character cannot fully realize its potential.
Also, the deep impact that Legendaries had on the character’s playstyle will disappear with them. The decisive items in Battle for Azeroth are therefore no longer the Legendaries, but the Azerite pieces.
That they cannot be titanforged removes the current problem of the relics from the Artifact weapons. If one has a relic with a better property but significantly different levels, it requires a lot of calculation to choose the better one – and a mistake will immediately weaken the character.
Titanforging of the remaining items is therefore just another way to be able to improve for as long as possible, without the character needing these items for its actual strength.

In Destiny 2, we take a look at all the weapons from the Trials of the Nine. How powerful are they? What are the perks? And are they worth it?
Trials of the Nine takes place every week from Friday to Tuesday. Those who dare to enter this PvP event and achieve some victories can earn Trials-specific weapons, armor pieces, and shaders.
All weapons are designed in a simple, elegant style. The dominant colors are white and gray, with blue highlights in the form of circles on each weapon, representing the symbols of the Trials of the Nine:
The logo of the Trials of the Nine
But can these weapons be effective, or do they just look extravagant?
This question was examined by the weapon expert Mercules904, who amazed the community with competent and detailed “weapon breakdowns” back during Destiny 1. We summarize his findings in English and see how the Trials weapons perform in PvP.
Notes in advance regarding terms in this article:
The optimal time-to-kill, or TTK, is the time it takes to eliminate an opposing Guardian under optimal circumstances in PvP, assuming that the opposing Guardian has 200 health points.
The Aim Assist helps to make targets easier to hit (in simple terms, high Aim Assist enlarges the hitbox of the opponent)
Prosecutor – Auto Rifle from the Trials of the Nine
The Prosecutor is a legendary auto rifle in the energy slot. It has a rate of fire of 450 and a impact of 29. Therefore, the Prosecutor belongs to the same archetype as the Origin Story or Uriel’s Gift.
The range is very high, and the stability and reload speed are also above average compared to other representatives of this archetype. Downsides include low aim assist (44) and magazine size (32). Here are the stats:
These are the perks:
Compact Precision: The recoil pattern is more vertical.
Hip-Fire Grip: When firing from the hip, accuracy and stability are improved.
You have the choice between:
Whoosh!: When you slide, the magazine is partially loaded, and handling and stability are temporarily improved.
Just Tap:When pressing the trigger for the first time, stability and accuracy are increased for a short time.
Additionally, you can influence stability, recoil, range, and weapon readiness speed with the sights.
The Prosecutor is a top weapon in PvP, although it is overshadowed by the outstanding energy auto rifle Uriel’s Gift. However, for those who are unlucky and do not yet possess Uriel’s Gift, the Prosecutor is definitely a recommendation.
The legendary auto rifle Uriel’s Gift
The optimal TTK is just 1.07 seconds, which is identical to the Origin Story and Uriel’s Gift. For that, 8 critical hits and one body hit are required.
The Prosecutor is strong not only at medium ranges but also thanks to the hip-fire grip at close range. When you take it into battle, you can’t go wrong!
In Hearthstone , there will soon be special cards only available in the Arena. We will show you what crazy cards are coming soon!
At BlizzCon 2017, many new things for Hearthstone were announced. The focus was on the reveal of the new expansion “Kobolds and Catacombs.” But there are also changes outside of the new add-on that will soon hit the Arena: exclusive Arena cards!
The Arena has always posed some balance problems for the Hearthstone developers. In the past, Blizzard had to repeatedly adjust and ban certain cards from the Arena, as they became too powerful.
Exclusive Cards Only for the Arena
Now the developers want to take the opposite step and implement cards that will be available only in the Arena. During BlizzCon, attendees were able to vote on which cards would be implemented into the Arena – one card per class.
Warlocks often face the problem that they rarely draw demons in the Arena, which eliminates many synergies. With Bottled Madness, all cards in hand are transformed into random demons!
Shamans weren’t good enough at clearing the board yet? That will change. For 0 mana comes Crackling Doom, which deals 12 damage to all minions on the battlefield. However, it comes at the cruel price of overload: 10. Thus, the next turn will be skipped.
For Paladins, there is the secret Hand of Salvation. This resurrects the second minion of the Paladin that died within a turn.
Please note that the balance of the cards is not final yet. The developers want to review them for balance, but the basic design of the mechanics should not change.
There is not yet a specific date for the release of the Arena cards. When it is time, we will report on it.
The gigantic finals in League of Legends (LoL) are over. A drama unfolded and there were dragons.
The eSports in League of Legends essentially follow the same rules as any professional sport. There are top teams and stars. What LeBron James is in basketball and Lionel Messi is in soccer, is a slender Korean boy known as “Faker” in League of Legends. His fans also call him the “immortal demon king” or simply “God”.
Faker – the Lionel Messi of LoL
Faker is considered a superstar who has elevated the LoL game to a new level. From his position as a “mid-laner”, he has dominated matches for years, regarded as incredibly versatile, with 30 champions in his repertoire, which he masters outstandingly. However, Faker does not indulge in star airs; he is a shy-looking, slender young man who appears humble and modest.
His reputation is legendary. However, the player Faker is always in the foreground, about whom little is known.
Faker serves as the ascetic role model for a generation of LoL players. When the Korean magazine Inven recently asked the US player Maxlore of Misfits if he had a girlfriend, he replied: “As long as Faker doesn’t have a girlfriend, I don’t have one either.”
Faker plays for the team SKT T1 – and they are somewhat the “Real Madrid” of LoL. They have won the club world championships for the last two years. However, there are also problems in LoL Wonderland Korea.
Star player resists the temptation of Chinese millions
In fact, Korea has been producing the best LoL players for years – however, the big money is made in China. A Chinese team is said to have offered Faker a million US dollars in 2014 if he played for them. In the years that followed, there were rumors that teams had offered him up to 4 million US dollars. However, Faker repeatedly declined. He stayed with his team, SKT T1.
However, some of his teammates left SKT T1 over the years.
The 2017 League of Legends World Championship was held in China. 24 teams battled for the trophy. The clear favorite was the team SKT T1 led by Faker, which had won the last 2 years.
Ardent Censer Meta strengthens AD Carry
However, the legend of SKT T1 took early dents this year. The LoL Worlds were played with a patch in which a single item dominated LoL. “Ardent Censer” makes the bot lane in an LoL team the decisive factor.
From the beginning of the tournament, it became clear that SKT T1 with “Bang” and “Wolf” would not be first-class. Especially the experienced Bang faced heavy criticism for his performances throughout the tournament. Observers agreed: “This is the weakest SKT T1 in years. Never have they been so beatable.” But at least they had God on their side, and he turned up.
Faker carries SKT T1 to the finals
Already in the quarterfinals, it took a miraculous performance from Faker for SKT T1 to prevail against the European team Misfits. By the way, a German player named PowerofEvil plays for Misfits, who narrowly missed the sensation.
Misfits surprised the Koreans with unusual picks like Blitzcrank and Leona. SKT T1 was already against the wall but made a comeback with a 3:2 victory. A dragon steal by Blank is regarded as the decisive moment of the series.

In the semifinals against the Chinese team “Royal Never Give Up”, Faker played the champion “Galio” in all 5 matches, which is actually an unusual pick for him. SKT T1 narrowly won 3:2. For observers, this was evidence of Faker’s versatility, as he bolstered his struggling bot lane as Galio.
In both series, Faker was named the “MVP” of the matches. Everything seemed to point towards a hero story: Against all odds and an unfavorable meta, the immortal demon king prevails and leads SKT T1 to their third world championship in a row. Everything much harder, much bigger, much more significant than the years before. Worthy of a God.
Final with Dragons
For the huge final, organizer Riot Games had something special planned and allowed a virtual dragon to circle above the battlefield.

SKT T1 faced Samsung Galaxy here. A rematch from last year. Samsung Galaxy is regarded as a disciplined and clever team that plays rather “boringly”, wearing down their opponents.
Not Faker wins the final, the AD Carry loses it
SKT T1 had problems from the outset. The AD Carry of SKT T1, Bang, made several mistakes that seemed inexplicable. The player was particularly criticized for his behavior in team fights. He had saved the opposing carry, Ruler, multiple times with his own ultimates. It’s puzzling, after all, Bang is a two-time world champion and was long considered an outstanding player.
There are two explanations:
Some suspect that Bang simply didn’t play enough LoL in the weeks and months leading up to the Worlds and was burned out.
Others think that the heavy criticism during the tournament could have further unsettled Bang after a weak start, leading to a complete failure in performance.
Especially the fans on the Korean gaming site Inven were mercilessly critical of Bang during the tournament. Some believe this could have broken him to the point where he made glaring errors in the final, such as this unnecessary flash that isolated him in a team fight and led his team down the path to defeat.

In any case, SKT T1 was hopelessly defeated 0:3 against the rivals Samsung Galaxy. They are thus the 2017 champions of League of Legends. AD Carry Ruler was named the MVP of the finals. Like his support CoreJJ, Ruler had impressive statistics throughout the knockout phase.
Ultimately, it was not the hero story of Faker, but the tragedy of Bang that shaped the final.
After the tournament, during the handshake, Faker was seen in tears. Despite an outstanding tournament performance, he was unable to lead his team to a third consecutive victory. Even gods can weep.

The western star ensemble “Team Solo Mid” failed incidentally already in the group stage. They had already made no friends in Korea before the world championships:
Have the shiny forms of these monsters been forgotten in Pokémon GO ? They certainly didn’t appear during the event. However, trainers have noticed shorter raid times. What is Niantic planning this time?
In the past hours, a lot has been happening in Pokémon GO. Raid times have been shortened, new raid bosses can be found in the wild, and now even more shiny forms have been discovered.
Nebulak, Alpollo, and Gengar as Shiny – Why not at the event?
Surprising finds were made by data miner “Chrales” from the PoGODev team. Just a few days ago, he discovered through a trick that the 3D models of Celebi and Ho-Oh are in the code of Pokémon GO. Now he explains that there are also shiny forms for three ghosts in the game.
The shiny designs for Nebulak and its evolutions Alpollo and Gengar were found by Chrales while examining the game code. However, the data miner is unsure how long the models for the three ghost monsters have been in the game. It’s strange that Niantic didn’t capitalize on the opportunity and send them into the wild during the spooky Halloween event.
Like with Celebi and Ho-Oh, the 2D models are still missing. Only when the 2D images are in the game are the shinies ready for their debut in the game. However, you can already take a look at the three:
In addition to the monsters, the raid mechanics have also changed.
Raids now only last 45 minutes
Once again, Niantic has tinkered with the raids. In Pokémon GO, you can now find many new raid bosses, which are categorized into difficulty levels 1-4. These include Geowaz, Porygon, and Safcon.
Due to a change in Pokémon GO, you now have only 45 minutes instead of an hour to defeat a hatched raid boss. The display duration of the eggs remains at one hour.
Particularly players in rural areas are struggling with this change. Now there is even less time to find other players to successfully complete the raids together. Additionally, many players in rural areas have to make long journeys to reach gyms.
This could only be a temporary change that Niantic will modify again soon. We don’t know exactly what the developers aim to achieve with these changes. Players hope there will be an official explanation soon.
In Season 2, new cash shop items will arrive in Destiny 2, which you can purchase in the Eververse. But what will happen to the old stuff? We’re exploring the possibilities!
In addition to new loot for you to hunt, the real-money store Eververse will be stocked with new inventory. The contents of the reward packages, the “Shiny Engrams,” will be updated. In Season 2, you will find new emotes, new ships, new sparrows, and much more. These cosmetic items are season-specific. A cool ship that you receive in Season 2 cannot be obtained through the shiny engraves in Season 3.
One exception is the shaders: These can always be obtained. New shaders are added each season, but none are removed.
But what happens to the junk that will no longer be available in the Eververse after Season 2? Is there a rush to get the last items before Season 2 starts on December 5?
To put it bluntly:There has been no official statement from Bungie. Therefore, we present three theories on how Bungie might handle the gestures, ships, and ghosts that will no longer be available.
Theory 1: Cosmetic items as rewards from activities
Eververse existed in Destiny 1 as well. Here, Bungie rotated the available cosmetic items at regular intervals. To prevent these items from completely disappearing, Sparrow packages and gestures could be earned in the weekly Nightfall strike.
The Eververse in Destiny 1
This was not well received by players. A gesture as a reward for completing a challenging endgame activity? Players wanted real loot – not gestures or horns.
Earning cosmetic items in the Nightfall strike was unpopular, so Bungie will likely not introduce this option in Destiny 2. The direction of only selling cosmetic items through the Eververse is clearly recognizable.
A legendary ship in Destiny 2
Theory 2: “Legacy Engrams” make a comeback
In Destiny 1, a mechanism was introduced after the first year to separate older exotic items from new ones: The legacy engrams. If a certain old exotic weapon was not yet owned, players had the chance to complete their collection with legacy engrams from Xur.
The legacy engravings worked based on the smart loot system: The chance of obtaining missing weapons was high.
For Bungie, a new form of legacy engravings in Destiny 2 could represent another way to introduce paid Eververse items. These could be offered cheaper than the regular shiny engravings to increase the incentive to purchase missing gestures and ships. Or these “Legacy Engrams for old cash shop items” could be offered directly for shimmering dust.
In my opinion, legacy engravings represent a likely option. If these function according to the smart loot system, players would have clear incentives to invest in old ships, gestures, and ornaments.
If Bungie removes every opportunity to acquire items that have dropped out of rotation, guardians would need to act now. But Bungie should have explicitly announced this so that players can invest now to obtain everything.
Bungie has not done this. If the items are to be completely removed, it would only be for an indefinite period. Bungie plans to hold four seasons per year. Therefore, the currently available items might return in Season 5 (or Season 1 in Year 2).
However Bungie decides – there will be changes in the Eververse. At the latest on December 5, we will have certainty.
What do you think, how will Bungie deal with the then outdated cosmetic items?

Crazy hero concepts in Overwatch are nothing unusual. During the “Overwatch Archives” panel at Blizzcon 2017, Jeff Kaplan and Arnold Tsang also talked about concepts that were too wild even for the hero shooter, such as the legendary Jetpack Cat.
There is no secret that Overwatch has adopted many concepts from the former Project Titan. In particular, many of the original heroes were once classes from the MMORPG. However, after Titan was canceled, existing concepts had to be completely revised.
The heroes and their characters are a core element for Overwatch. Their features make the game so special and give it a high recognition value. However, during the development of the game, there were also some ideas that were too crazy even for those who say to a talking gorilla scientist: “Welcome to the team, Winston! Here is your jetpack.”
A particularly wild early concept is the “Jetpack Cat.” The flying cat originated during the time between Titan and Overwatch, when as many new impressions were to be gathered as possible.
Two versions prevailed in their idea: A heroic comic cat that actively uses its jetpack, and a perhaps somewhat more realistic one that relaxes in its jetpack chair and attacks from above out of boredom.
Although the Jetpack Cat was very popular with the team at the time, it was deemed “too ridiculous” for Overwatch. Its concept felt as if they would “glide out of the universe.” Interestingly, it was not the only flying animal…
Gargoyles, monkeys… alligators?
While Winston had relatively early on found his place as a character in Overwatch, flying animals were not entirely off the list yet. The crew’s minds were filled with (robot) monkeys, gargoyles, alligators, or creepy guys with goatees and flaming hair.
The idea behind the characters was heroes that could move freely in the air (similar to Mercy today). They were supposed to distinguish themselves from Winston’s jump module and Pharah’s (then still “Rocketdude”) rocket pack. In the end, however, the team decided that the ideas were certainly great, but better suited for another game, not Overwatch.
From hockey players to permanent concepts
In addition to animals, other non- (or only limited) human characters were shown as early ideas. A strange alien and a giant robot, whose control status is ambiguous, are just two of them. The latter idea may have found its way into the game in the form of D.Va.
Kaplan’s favorite among the never-released heroes is Hockey Hero. There is no exact concept behind the hero, but he still likes the idea very much today – probably the reason for Lúcio’s legendary skin.
Right after the end of Titan and the start of Overwatch (then operated under the name Prometheus), there was a concept board with 50 heroes – some of which made it into the game one way or another. So it is not unlikely that some of the earliest ideas will be revisited at a later point!

The Heart of Azeroth is the “new” artifact weapon from WoW: Battle for Azeroth. We reveal what this piece of jewelry can do.
The artifact weapons from the Legion expansion of World of Warcraft will soon belong to the past. As Ion Hazzikostas revealed at BlizzCon, there will be a small closing event where the artifact weapons will be “put to rest” – whatever that means.
In the next expansion “Battle for Azeroth”, the artifact weapons will no longer play a role!
Nevertheless, Blizzard is not completely saying goodbye to the concept of upgradable, permanent armor.
Heart of Azeroth as “new” artifact weapon?
All players will receive a medallion (a necklace) from Magni Bronzebeard called “Heart of Azeroth”. The medallion starts at level 1 and is upgraded through a new resource called “Azerite”.
Azerite is the lifeblood of Azeroth, manifesting through the wounds in various places in the world.
In essence, Azerite works like artifact power – however, there are no consumables and no different weapons. Various activities simply grant a certain amount of Azerite. This includes PvP, dungeons, raids, island expeditions, and more.
New abilities in existing equipment
The Heart of Azeroth continuously levels up throughout the “Battle for Azeroth” expansion. But what does that actually bring?
The jewelry unlocks new abilities in your equipment! There are additional bonuses for individual equipment slots and it also gains further abilities.
Some equipment slots (3 are currently planned – chest, shoulder, helmet) can be upgraded through the Heart of Azeroth.
The artifact itself has abilities that are unlocked gradually.
The equipment items, in turn, have a selection of 3 “rings”, which contain various talents or properties.
One last unlock per item, the innermost “ring” is a fixed bonus (no choice)
Only one property can be chosen per ring (like in “talent trees”)
Each ring has a different level requirement for unlocking.
The idea is that you collect Azerite and thus level up your Heart of Azeroth. This in turn allows you to unlock additional abilities in the equipment slots “head”, “shoulders”, and “chest”.
While you can unlock a talent in the outer ring of an item with a Heart of Azeroth level 5, the middle ring remains locked until level 15 and the inner one even until level 25. The mentioned numbers are just examples.
Unlike the hated Netherlight Crucible, the selection of abilities on items is not randomly assigned. The selection for each item is handpicked. This means that every “Helmet of the Twisted Loa” at the same class gets the identical selection of possible abilities. However, it may happen that the effects of a helmet from the “mythic” difficulty are stronger than the effects of a helmet from “heroic” or “normal”.
As soon as the Heart of Azeroth reaches a new level, corresponding bonuses can be unlocked in the items. This can also be done “on the fly” – you do not have to return to an artifact forge or anything like that.
What abilities are there?
The developers place great importance on the options within a ring being “on par”. To put it somewhat exaggeratedly, they want to avoid players having to choose between “+20% damage on Chain Lightning” or “+15 to fishing”. Because everyone would know that fishing would be completely overpowered in the fight against Azshara.
Instead, you should rather choose between different “similar” things. An example was chosen for the shaman. Would you prefer an upgrade of the Spirit Wolf, making you move faster when you take damage? Or would you rather enhance the Astral Shift, allowing you to withstand harmful effects a bit longer?
But it will probably just be a matter of time until the theorycrafters have also discovered the optimal combinations here.
The Heart of Azeroth is a necklace that every player receives
The Heart of Azeroth levels up through Azerite, which is available for almost all activities (dungeons, quests, PvP, etc.)
Through new levels of the heart, players can unlock additional abilities in their equipment
Only chest, shoulder, and helmet equipment have unlockable abilities
The higher the item level of the equipment, the stronger the abilities are
How do you like the concept of the Heart of Azeroth? A good, simplified alternative to the artifact weapons? Or completely unnecessary and already tedious grinding?
With Battle for Azeroth, the developers increase the maximum number of characters per server in WoW. We have all the details for you.
During the second day of BlizzCon 2017, there were few major revelations – but a lot of details. In the “Developer Q&A”, the developers answered questions about the new expansion of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
A question that arises every year is the desire for additional character slots. This question was raised again in 2017. To the surprise of most, there was a positive answer!
WoW: Battle for Azeroth brings 6 additional character slots per server
With the release of “Battle for Azeroth”, all accounts will have the opportunity to create additional characters per server. Each player gets 6 new character slots per server. This increases the maximum number of characters per server from 12 to 18!
The general maximum of 50 characters distributed across all servers is not affected by this.
The reason for the change is the implementation of 6 new species. With 6 new “allied races”, every player should at least have the opportunity to create a character with each race. They do not want players to be forced to delete beloved characters or necessarily have to buy a race change.
Thanks to the new “allied races”, there are 6 new character slots!
The new “allied races” cannot, however, be created immediately at the launch of Battle for Azeroth. They must first be unlocked during the storyline. Players will experience firsthand why the Nightborne join the Horde or how the Void Elves find their way into the Alliance.
The additional character slots do not have to necessarily be filled with characters from the new races. Those who simply want to own 6 more Draenei can also be happy with that.
Are you excited about the additional character slots? Or will this only plunge the Twink madness into even more stress?

In the popular battle royale shooter “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, up to 42,000 cheaters are banned daily. However, that is not enough, as the community continues to criticize the high number of cheaters.
The PUBG developers now plan to clamp down even harder and catch cheaters earlier.
Additional Anti-Cheat Measures Coming
In a letter to the community, the developers sincerely want to apologize for the cheating issues in PUBG. They regret that you could not play the game in a fair environment.
Now they want to detect cheaters earlier and better, and remove them from the game.
As we have already announced, we are currently in the process of implementing new tools in the game. These are meant to identify players with unusual gameplay behavior.
On November 3, there was already an update with new anti-cheat measures. Cheaters are to be permanently banned from the game. “If unusual gameplay behavior is detected, the corresponding account will be temporarily penalized and then investigated more closely.”.
Next week, there should be another update that will improve cheater detection. “We will continue to work on improving our cheat detection system. The measures to detect and ban cheaters will be tightened. At the same time, we ensure that fair players do not receive wrongful punishments.”
However, these changes will not make all cheaters disappear “overnight”. It is an ongoing process that (hopefully) continues to improve in the future.
The server merge next week celebrates Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) with gifts. This is cleverly orchestrated, as you must log in to receive the two rewards and can witness the server chaos live! But follow me and let’s take a closer look at the two presents!
Mini Mogul NM-1 Mini Pet
First we have the Mini Mogul NM-1 Mini Pet, which charms us with its five little legs and looks almost like it is wearing a funny pink hat. It is modeled after the much more dangerous walker of the Hutt Karagga the Unyielding, who proves to be a sometimes tough opponent.
The facts about the “pet”
Received when logging in between November 8 and 27.
On the 28th, you can then fish it out of the mail and show it off.
The companion Darth Hexid
Darth Hexid is feared, battle-tested, and currently seemingly primarily one thing: In search of a long-term combat partner. If you regularly give her exercise (including battles for the dark side!) and occasionally feed her hate, she is a very low-maintenance companion.
The facts about Darth Hexid
To win her as a companion, you must complete three PvE or three PvP missions through the group finder between November 8 and 27.
From November 28, you can either free her from the mail immediately or recruit her. To take the more difficult route, you must:
complete a specific mission on the planet Odessen and
finish the story from the Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion.
Probably you still remember the Dark vs. Light event that disrupted the balance of power for an entire summer and culminated at the end of last year. With newly generated characters, players had to make decisions for the dark or light side of the Force while leveling and let actions speak for one of the two sides.
In the end, it was determined which side had the supremacy. With 52%, the light side narrowly won back then. The rewards were manifold: Among other things, the light side of the Force received the companion Ranos. However, players of the dark side were left empty-handed: Darth Hexid, who would have been a reward in the event of the dark side’s victory, remained unplayable.
After Hexid fans had to starve for a year and surely wept bitter tears, they can now rejoice! Darth Hexid is just waiting to side with you to fight against the Jedi!
With a new tactic, trolls are attacking unsuspecting players in League of Legends and giving them a timeout. Don’t fall for it, or you will get banned in LoL!
Now the trolls in League of Legends no longer just want to ruin your games, but want to give innocent players hefty penalties.
They do this with a trick that is supposed to get you at least a 14-day ban. Repeat offenses can lead to even harsher penalties, up to a permanent ban.
Trolls Want Your Curse Words!
It may sound a bit absurd when we tell you “Watch out! They want you to use curse words.” But that is exactly the new scheme of the trolls in LoL.
On Reddit and in the LoL forums, many players report that they were suddenly hit by the ban hammer. The reason for this was other players who tricked them. They wanted to hear curse words.
The trolls exploit the ban tool of League of Legends to their advantage. They tell other players that they should either say a certain word or the trolls will sabotage the game.
The penalty for “hate speech” in LoL is a ban of at least 14 days. More frequent offenses can also lead to a permanent exclusion.
How do they “trick” you?
On Reddit, user “Eedat” warns about how the trolls operate. He writes that the tactics range from “what’s that English curse word you say against gays?” to threats like “If you don’t say that word, I will feed.”.
If players then use one of the “forbidden words” that are on Riot’s blacklist, they are reported by the troll after the game. Through the instant review system, League of Legends then recognizes what you wrote in the lobby chat and in the game, and sees that you violated the rules. And just like that, there’s a timeout.
Example from the Forum – “Neck yourself”
In the LoL forum, a player describes how he fell for this trick. He was playing a ranked match, and a teammate explained, “My name is Neck Yourself. If you say my name four times during a game, I promise I won’t feed.”.
Of course, the player didn’t want a feeder on his team but wanted to win his ranked game. So he wrote “neck yourself” four times (which means something like “hang yourself”) and received a 14-day ban after the game. He apparently did not know that “neck yourself” is among the forbidden words or said it anyway, not wanting to lose.
In the forum, Riot employee Tantram reviewed the case and unbanned the player. He says he now spends his weekend holding the trolls accountable for it. Anyone who has already fallen for this trick should contact Riot Games’ support with a ticket. They are apparently aware of the problem.
Guardian scientists have sat at the console in Destiny 2 and recorded the damage of each grenade. The result is a ranking of all 27 grenades in the game.
When choosing the right grenade, many factors need to be considered. Should they serve as traps, suppress opponents’ abilities, or deal as much damage as possible?
At least the answer to the damage question has now been found. Redditor DrFace007 reviewed the damage output of each grenade and compiled the results into a ranking.
The Leviathan Raid as a Testing Ground
The Leviathan Raid is a great place to test grenade damage on stationary targets. The dogs in the “Garden of Desire” phase always stand in the same spot as soon as they detect the Guardians, and that lasts for 30 seconds. Enough time to thoroughly test each grenade.
The result is a table that depicts grenade damage by class in descending order:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
When considering the damage numbers specified in the table, there are a few things to note:
There are slight differences in damage numbers caused by the positioning of grenades. The behavior of jumping grenades cannot always be predicted.
If Titans are using the Seismic Strike code, they have access to two grenades and can double their damage output.
Nighthawk grenade damage is given under the premise that the Path Finder is selected, which doubles the effects of grenades and smoke.
Not all grenades are meant to primarily deal damage. Both the Flashbang and Suppressor grenades of the Titan have entirely different objectives.
The damage numbers for the Voidwalker Warlock were achieved under the premise that the grenade was overcharged with Super energy.
The damage was achieved against a stationary target. Specifically, the grenades with the highest damage depend on whether the target remains in the effective range for a long time.
The Nightstalker certainly has the best grenades (measured by damage output). Considering the second impulse grenade of the Titan, this combination is the deadliest.
Robert says: Nightstalker grenades deal the most damage under very specific conditions. However, the table also shows that the other Hunter subclasses and the Dawnblade of the Warlock possess some of the worst grenades. Why Bungie equips the Nightstalker with three really strong grenades while the Arcstrider only has grenades that are useless, we may never understand.
The table also reveals that Magnet and Fusion grenades are just a shadow of their former selves. Precise aiming with these grenades should be rewarded and reflected in the damage numbers.
The exciting question will be how Bungie will handle grenades in the future. Will the double-impulse grenades be nerfed? Or will Bungie adjust the damage of other grenades contrary to the “normal” course? The future will tell.
What do you think of this list? Did you expect it to be this way?

In Pokémon GO there are raids where you must defeat various raid bosses to catch them later. In this overview, we show you all the bosses.
The raids are a new co-op feature in Pokémon GO, where you must defeat a strong raid boss with groups of up to 20 players. The bosses are Pokémon with particularly high CP and are divided into different difficulty levels.
Some of them, you can defeat alone (for example, Magikarp). Others, like Tyranitar, are too strong for one player.
Update from November 5, 2017
Last night, some new raid bosses were added. We have updated our list with the new bosses. According to initial reports, a few of the old bosses are also appearing. We will keep this list updated for you.
Raid Boss Difficulty Levels – What Can Be Done Alone?
Currently, the raid bosses in Pokémon GO are classified into four difficulty levels. The higher the number, the more difficult the boss fight becomes. You can defeat a level 1 raid boss alone. For level 4, you should bring friends and other trainers for help. The fifth level is for legendary Pokémon that appear in raids.
A raid boss in Pokémon GO is a Pokémon from the game that has particularly high combat points (CP). After you defeat the boss, its combat points drop, and you can try to catch the boss with special Poké Balls.
In this overview, we show you the difficulty levels, the CP as a boss (and after capture at 100% IV values). How many trainers you ultimately need to defeat a Pokémon also depends on how good your Pokémon are.

With Chronicles of Elyria, we can expect an ambitious but also highly interesting MMORPG that aims to offer a different gaming experience.
In Chronicles of Elyria, your hero will age and die. Additionally, he can become obese due to little movement and poor diet. In a new video showcasing the current status of the MMORPG, the developers also discuss how such elements contribute to good storytelling.
Players grow beyond themselves
According to the developers, a good story that stays memorable for players is one that takes them out of their comfort zone. They want to intentionally put players in situations that make them uncomfortable, as that leaves an impression. Only then can someone grow beyond themselves.
They face the uncomfortable situation and try to overcome their fears and expand their own limits. This would set Chronicles of Elyria apart from other MMORPGs.
Make the most of your hero’s limited lifespan
You simply have to deal with situations that you won’t find in other MMORPGs. Usually, you play your hero until you’re no longer interested. In Chronicles of Elyria, he will inevitably die at some point. This is a concept that many need to come to terms with because, generally, you invest a lot – including emotions – in a character. Forcing you to lose them eventually is something that not everyone likes. However, this can lead to great stories because everyone wants to make the most of the limited time they have.
How the MMORPG differs from other genre representatives can be seen in the video.
Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo make their way to Overwatch – through skins! At Blizzcon 2017, Blizzard announced the new content of the loot boxes. We can expect costumes from all Blizzard universes in the standard loot!
Fresh meat! The new skins bring the Blizzard universes to Overwatch!
Overwatch takes place in the future of our world – so of course there was also Blizzard and all the universes they designed! Apparently, among the Overwatch heroes, there are also some fans of the franchises. In an upcoming major update, the Overwatch team will bring skins into the game that look like really good cosplays from Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo!
New cosmetics are coming to Overwatch in early 2018!
The heroes (and villains) from Overwatch will soon be able to adorn themselves with the look of some celebrities from Azeroth, Sanctuary or the Korvax Sector. Overwatch origin skins will also find their way into the game. Here is the complete list of announced skins:
Immortal Orisa
Magni Bronzebeard Torbjörn
Nova Widowmaker
Blackhand Doomfist
Barbarian Zarya
Butcher Roadhog
Crusader Reinhardt
Ecopoint Mei
Some of these skins play very cleverly with their origins. For example, Zarya’s weapon charge in this skin is the rage bar of the Barbarian from Diablo, and her weapon has a socket for gems, and the Butcher Roadhog takes a health potion during his breather.
The Warcraft skins also look very convincing. They stimulate the imagination of whether more crossovers could be possible (Blademaster Genji or War Machine Bastion).
In our gallery, you can take a look at all the skins individually and at your leisure.
Whether in events, in the arcade through level-ups or through real money – there are Overwatch loot boxes everywhere. However, many players have already completed a large part of the collection and only receive duplicates. The new skins are therefore not available in event boxes, but will be added to the content of the standard loot boxes!
According to Kaplan, these skins are just a small preview of what is to come. He promises a big update to the loot boxes that will be rolled out early next year!
By the way, it will not be worth it to accumulate the loot boxes. Since the content of the boxes is set as soon as they are generated, standard loot boxes will only contain the loot they could give now at a later time. It is unlikely that Blizzard will change that.
