In Destiny 2, Savathûn’s Song is the Nightfall Strike this week. With these tips, you will succeed in the Nightfall.
In the strike “Savathûn’s Song,” you will face the Hive on Titan. You must delve deep into the Arcology and search for a missing fireteam. Along the way, you will interrupt several Hive summoning rituals and ultimately face a large Screecher known as Savathûn’s Song.
Since October 3rd, this strike has been the Nightfall strike in Destiny 2. In a Nightfall strike, the challenge is greater than in a normal strike, but so are the rewards. Powerful gear up to the highest power level awaits as a weekly reward.
Savathûn’s Song – Nightfall Modifiers and Challenges
As in every Nightfall strike, time is also pressing in Savathûn’s Song. This is due to the modifier “Time Loop: Anomalies.” Here are the two modifiers:
Time Loop Anomalies: Destroy anomalies to extend the mission timer. You start with 14 minutes (Normal) or 9 minutes (Prestige)
Momentum: Health and shield regeneration are disabled while standing still. Sprint to charge them faster.
The anomalies appear at specific locations in the strike. They must be shot to grant extra time. Nexxoss Gaming shows them to you in his guide to the Nightfall strike:

Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
Complete the Nightfall with less than 3 deaths.
Shoot 15 of its projectiles before defeating Savathûn’s Song.
Tips for the Nightfall Strike
With these tips, you should quickly get through the Nightfall:
Decide in advance who will take care of the anomalies. While this Guardian eliminates the anomalies, the other two Guardians can keep running and already defeat enemies.
As weapons, Nexxoss Gaming recommends a rocket launcher (preferably with cluster bombs, good against Ogres) and a solar energy weapon like the Sunshot (good against Witches). This is also strong as it deals explosive damage.
Take at least one Nightstalker Hunter with Orpheus Rig to chain enemies and generate many orbs.
Remember that you need to run to regenerate your health points. Since this is impractical in many situations, make sure to take a Warlock with Healing Rift.
Hunters can use their invisibility to charge while running.
Notes:
There are one or two bugs in this Nightfall. Sometimes the crystals that need to be destroyed do not spawn correctly. You may need to restart.
A “Nightfall Cheese” has been discovered, with which you can gain a lot of extra time: Anomalies spawn in the Solarium. If you run to the next area and then go back to the Solarium, the anomalies will be back.
For players with many twinks, a dream comes true in WoW. You will soon be able to send Legendaries to alternate characters.
The 7.3.2 patch of World of Warcraft is currently on the public test realm. New builds are being deployed every few days, bringing fresh game files that are shortly thereafter analyzed by data miners.
This time, a real highlight seems to be hidden in the game data. For frequent players with multiple max-level characters, there will likely soon be an easier way to send legendary items to twinks.
There is a new item per class that, when used, crafts a “random legendary item” for the character. These legendary “tokens” are also account-bound. If desired, they can be sent to alternate characters, thus quickly getting at least the first two legendary items.
These “Legendary Badges” were already included in the game data of patch 7.2 but did not make it into the patch back then – they were removed. The fact that they have now been renewed and upgraded to item level 1000 at least gives hope that they will make it into the next update.
Acquisition of the Legendary Tokens still uncertain
However, how exactly the Legendary Tokens will be obtainable is still unknown, but there are several theories. Some players speculate that the tokens can only drop if you already own all other legendary items for a character. All “excess” legendaries would then turn into a token that can be sent to a twink.
Other players assume that the tokens can be purchased from a vendor to ensure that you get something suitable for an alternate character instead of relying on luck.
As soon as there is concrete information about obtaining the twink legendaries, we will inform you.
As Blizzard announced on Twitter, the “Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017” event will take place from October 10 to October 31.
Overwatch Halloween 2017 starts on October 10
There aren’t many details about the changes to the event yet. The short 7-second teaser gives a first glimpse of two new skins, which are likely of legendary quality and can be obtained during the event. One is a “Van Helsing” skin for McCree and the other is a Dracula-inspired skin for Reaper.

As usual, there will be special loot boxes during the Halloween event that can only be purchased or earned during the 3 weeks of the event.
If Blizzard follows the example of the Summer Games, then the skins from last year will be offered at a reduced price for credits, whereas the new skins will have triple the price – that is still significantly better than being completely dependent on luck.
In addition to skins, emotes, and all the other cosmetic frills, the game mode “Junkenstein’s Revenge” will likely return as well. At least the event’s title image suggests that.
In a typical “King of the Hill” defense, players must fight against Junkenstein and his minions as a team of four. That includes a lot of “zombie omnics” and some fallen heroes, such as the evil alchemist Mercy or the horrifying monster Roadhog.
Are you looking forward to Halloween in Overwatch? Which characters would you like to see a new skin for?
In Destiny 2, the Faction Rally has ended. The winning faction is now offering its special weapon for sale. Additionally, the full patch notes for update 1.06 are now known.
Congratulations to Dead Orbit! Arach Jalaal and his faction have won the first team battle in Destiny 2. Bungie just announced this, and when you log in to Destiny 2, you’ll be greeted with a message that Dead Orbit has won.
You can now fly to Arach Jalaal in the Tower and purchase his winning weapon there. If you were a “Dead Orbit” member, it will cost you a mere 1000 Glimmer. If you pledged allegiance to another faction, you will have to fork over 50,000 Glimmer.
Today, on October 3rd, update 1.0.3.1 with version number 1.06 went live. It is approximately 55 MB in size. The full patch notes are now known:
A problem is fixed that caused players to lose access to the veteran teleport effect due to character deletion.
A problem is fixed that caused clan engrams “Trials of the Nine” and raid rewards to contain only 10 Power.
A problem is fixed where “Discard” was shown instead of “Store” on Faction Rally badges.
A problem is fixed where the quest step “The Seal of His Majesty” did not progress correctly. The quest progress is still increased by 1, but only 10 seals are now required for the quest step.
A problem is fixed where some players did not see the raid milestones after the weekly reset (the raid rewards are not affected).
A problem is fixed where players could be continuously eliminated or unable to be revived if the finish and failure occurred simultaneously in an encounter.
Crucible: Invisible barriers and kill volumes have been added to some maps to keep players within the intended play area. The affected maps are Eternity, Altar of Flame, Emperor’s End, Legion’s Folly, Javelin-4, and The Death Cliffs.
Moreover, invisible physics have been added to all stairs in “The Death Cliffs” to ensure grenades bounce correctly.
The spawning system in PvP has been adjusted so that players respawn less frequently in dangerous situations.
Note: If your character data does not load upon login, you should exit Destiny 2 and restart it. Problems are currently occurring frequently.
They play a role not only in the World of Warcraft but in almost every fantasy setting: dragons. They often appear as antagonists, sometimes as pure beasts, and often as puppeteers. Today, we would like to tell you a little more about them.
Dragons are one of the oldest known species on Azeroth. Some of them were created as aspects by the Titans to protect the planet: Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Malygos, Neltharion, and Ysera. Two of them have succumbed to madness and nearly destroyed Azeroth.
However, other scaled great lizards have made a name for themselves from time to time. I would like to talk about a few that have particularly stuck in my memory. Not a few of them are responsible for the fate of the world (of Warcraft).
Since there are many dragons, and many of them play smaller or larger roles, I will only focus on three in particular that have primarily contributed to the development of Azeroth’s story. In doing so, I will avoid those about whom the game itself reports (like Neltharion, Nefarian, or Chromie) to pay tribute to those who are less well-known.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for some books from the World of Warcraft-, Warcraft-, and War of the Ancients series.
1. The Guardian of the Red Dragonflight: Korialstrasz
The fourth husband of the Aspect of Life, Alexstrasza, is one of the reasons why Azeroth even still exists. Better known by the name Krasus in the form of a High Elf, Korialstrasz fought in the War of the Ancients.
Korialstrasz, in the form of the Elf Krasus, next to his wife Alexstrasza.
Due to a disturbance in time, Korialstrasz’ future self was separated from him, allowing him to exist in two versions at the same time. The future version took the form of the High Elf Krasus, which prevented both versions from being able to change their form.
Together, both versions traveled back in time with the help of Nozdormu to assist Malfurion Stormrage in the fight against the Burning Legion. While the High Elf Krasus coordinated the spells of the elven mages, Korialstrasz aided with a rain of fire from above. Without this dragon, Azeroth would likely have been destroyed thousands of years ago.
Krasus and Alexstrasza in their dragon forms after the battle at Angrathar.
His end came while protecting all dragons. In the Chamber of Aspects, the breeding ground of all dragonflights in the Wyrmrest temple, he discovered that the eggs of all dragons had been switched with those of the chromatic dragonflight.
Chromatic dragons are a species created from the blood of all dragons by Nefarian. They possess the abilities of every flight and were bred for absolute obedience, making them a danger to everyone.
One of the most well-known chromatic dragons was Chromaggus in the Blackwing Lair. His abilities were based on those of all dragonflights.
Krasus used his power to ignite himself and explode the entire chamber in a colossal firestorm. He was therefore called a traitor, as it was believed that he, as an agent of Deathwing, destroyed all the clutches to weaken the flights. His true motives came to light only through a vision of Thrall. His last word was “Beloved” – the thought of Alexstrasza.
2. The Daughter of Deception: Lady Katrana Prestor
A character who, especially for new players, may not be well-known, is the advisor to the young Anduin Wrynn: Lady Katrana Prestor. The lesser noble is actually the daughter of Neltharion: Onyxia.
Onyxia in her form as Lady Katrana Prestor, who held Stormwind in her grip for a while.
Her influence was rather subtle and long-planned – typical for dragons of the black dragonflight. As the daughter of Lord Daval Prestor, the former advisor to King Terenas Menethil II., she came to Stormwind to support King Varian Wrynn.
The effects of her actions are particularly relevant for the Alliance. She was likely the one who refused to pay the Stonemason’s Guild after they rebuilt Stormwind. Under the leadership of Edwin VanCleef, the guild eventually withdrew and became the bandit gang of the Defias, which has since terrorized Stormwind.
Onyxia in her true form. She was slain and decapitated in the lore by Varian Wrynn before being resurrected as a zombie dragon by her brother Nefarian.
Through her cunning, she manipulated the nobles of Stormwind to conspire with the Defias. This led to the kidnapping of King Varian Wrynn. With a dragonfire amulet, she controlled Bolvar Fordragon – which effectively made her the only advisor to Anduin. Since he was not yet old enough for regency, Onyxia was de facto ruling alone.
In this position, she prevented support for Westfall, Sentinel Hill, and Darkshire, which led to the strengthening of the Defias Brotherhood and the Blackrock Clan. They probably cooperated with the black dragonflight, which also benefited from it.

Galakrond is a name that probably few WoW players remember. Much about him is told only in the book “The Fall of the Aspects,” in which Kalecgos relives a memory of Malygos.
The proto-dragon is the first dragon that was ever created. He was larger than all aspects combined and, despite his evil nature, a key figure in history. Kalecgos learns that the monstrosity had such an insatiable hunger that it even devoured its own kind.
The only official image of Galakrond is the cover of the novel “The Fall of the Aspects.” Image source: wow.gamepedia.com
Through this cannibalism, Galakrond so corrupted his essence that he became a kind of unholy abomination. This corruption later became so strong that any dragon he devoured or wounded mutated into an undead monstrosity.
He could only be defeated when all dragonflights united and received help from the Titans themselves. The leaders of the flights, at that time still proto-dragons, all received a gift from the Titans:
Alexstrasza received the gift of life from Eonar, the Life Binder (who will soon become a boss in Antorus)
Ysera, Alexstrasza’s younger sister, received her gift of the dream of creation (also known as the Emerald Dream) from Eonar as well.
Nozdormu received the gift of time from Aman’thul, the Highfather, who is the leader of the Pantheon and brother of Sargeras.
Malygos received the gift of magic from Norgannon, the Dreamweaver.
Neltharion finally received the blessing of earth from Khaz’goroth, the Shaper, whose hammer is one of the Pillars of Creation.
These blessings made the dragons into aspects and gave them the form that we know dragons to have today. It was only through them, along with the help of the guardians, that the flights were able to defeat Galakrond.
Galakrond’s bones in Northrend. Arthas’ Scourge attempted to resurrect the abomination. Size comparison: The “small” creatures around the pit are about four times the size of a dragon mount.
Without the existence and greed of this monstrosity, there would likely never have been the Aspects. However, Deathwing would probably never have come into being either…
But why dragons now? The Legion is the enemy!
The last time WoW was really about dragons seems to have been Cataclysm. In itself, that is true; since Deathwing’s death and the fall of the aspects, dragons have not been in the foreground again.
First dragons, then the Legion, now Garrosh? How does it all connect?
Nevertheless, it is the work of the dragons that the Legion appears in Azeroth right now. To understand this, we need to delve a little deeper into the lore:
The Legion attacks Azeroth because Gul’dan, who should actually be dead, called Sargeras.
Gul’dan is the powerful warlock who was killed on this timeline. However, in Warlords of Draenor, he was still alive.
At the end of WoD, Gul’dan manages to flee through a portal into our timeline to continue his work here.
The alternate timeline from which he originates only came about because Garrosh Hellscream helped the “Iron Horde” to power in an alternate Draenor.
Garrosh ended up there only because he was brought there by the bronze dragon Kairozdormu, a traitor of the flight, through the sands of time during his sentencing for war crimes during Mists of Pandaria.
Everything that is currently happening is happening now only because a dragon of the bronze flight planned it that way.
Wrathion is one of the most enigmatic figures in World of Warcraft. Whether he is good or evil is known to no one.
Moreover, one of the last black dragons, Wrathion, was last seen shortly before Cordana Teufelsang is confronted in Warlords of Draenor during the questline for the legendary ring. He flies around the tower as a small dragon. Whether he has to do with Cordana’s fall, or if he is merely observing, will possibly become clear soon.
The dragons of Azeroth have thus always had a significant influence on all events of history. Some of them didn’t even have to be aspects, and some have fallen into oblivion despite their importance.
Server Maintenance for Destiny 2: Today, on October 3rd, the servers are going offline. The online services are unavailable. How long will the maintenance last?
Update 7:15 PM: Oops, the servers are back online! Have fun! You can read the full patch notes for update 1.06 here.Note: If your character data does not load upon login, you should exit Destiny 2 and restart it. Problems are currently occurring frequently.
Update 6:15 PM: The update 1.0.3.1 is available. It carries version number 1.06 and is 55 MB in size.
Update: Today, many Guardians are complaining about server issues. “Destiny 2 servers are being contacted” is displayed frequently. Baboon, Chicken, and Centipede error codes are appearing. These issues are occurring more frequently on the PS4 after the installation of the PS4 update 5.00.
The maintenance with several hours of server downtime seems to have almost become a weekly ritual: Since the launch of Destiny 2, the servers have gone offline once a week for Bungie to work on the servers and deploy fresh updates.
On one hand, this can be seen as a positive, as annoying issues are being resolved. On the other hand, these downtimes also cause frustration – after all, you can’t play during this time. And due to the time difference, the maintenance occurs at extremely inconvenient times for German Guardians.
Today, on the Day of German Unity, maintenance is doubly frustrating – because finally, one would have time to play all day, but:
At 5 PM our time, preparations for maintenance will begin. You can log in from then on.
At 6 PM the servers go offline. If you are still in the game, you will be roughly removed. So, make sure to finish your activity beforehand.
Bungie expects the servers to be online again by 9 PM.
It is quite possible that the servers will be available again hours earlier or later. We will adjust this article then.
What Changes Today? Update 1.0.3.1
Today, the update 1.0.3.1 will be deployed. A few days ago, Bungie previewed which issues will be fixed with it:
A problem is being fixed that causes players to lose access to the veteran teleport effect due to character deletion.
A problem is being fixed that causes clan engrams to contain “Trials of the Nine” and raid rewards with only 10 power.
A problem is being fixed where the quest step “The Seal of His Majesty” does not progress correctly. The quest progress still increases by 1, but you only need 10 seals for the quest step.
A problem is being fixed where for some players the raid milestones are not displayed after the weekly reset (the raid rewards are not affected).
A problem is being fixed where players are continuously eliminated or cannot be revived when completion and failure happen simultaneously in an encounter.
The future plans for SWTOR have been revealed. The SciFi MMORPG has a lot in store for the coming months.
Currently, the developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic are talking a lot about the future of the game. They have now presented the “roadmap” for the autumn – more precisely defined what is supposed to happen in SWTOR in the coming months.
The biggest step in October and November is the server merger. The currently 17 servers will be reduced to 5 servers. This is intended to significantly reduce waiting times for group activities and increase participation in PvP skirmishes.
On November 28, the major Update 5.6 titled “Betrayal Among the Chiss” will follow. The alliance has been betrayed and the plans of the perpetrator are gradually being revealed. According to promises, this is the “largest content patch in 2017” and has something for all players. There will be a new story chapter, a Flashpoint, the 3rd boss in “Gods from the Machine”, and even a new map for the Galactic Starfighter.
Little is revealed about the time afterward, but there are promises of bringing back even more old companions to the game. Many still miss some beloved companions from the “classic” campaign that vanished with the Eternal Throne.
Galactic Command Revised Again
The Galactic Command will also be significantly revised in the coming months. There will be primarily 4 changes:
Command crates will receive a new slot. This can contain a modification/improvement, a luck die, a KEP buff, or a KEP consumable
There is a legacy benefit that increases the received KEP (Command Experience Points). Each character at Command Rank 300 increases the received KEP by 25%, up to a maximum of 100%
All gameplay areas are supposed to grant more KEP, they will be revised
The disintegration mechanic no longer grants KEP; instead, there will be components for armor and weapons. These are bound to the legacy and can be sent to other characters.
Lastly, there is a small outlook for early 2018; however, the statements here are still quite vague.
Conclusion of the current story chapter
The final bosses of the “Gods from the Machine” operation will appear
The conquest system will be revised
A new system for daily activities with “great rewards”
More multiplayer experiences for PvE and PvP
Many fans hope that there will soon be a truly “large” addon again – but so far, no word on that.
League of Legends (LoL) has always struggled with the reputation of being a game with an extremely toxic community. Over the weekend, even one of Riot’s employees reinforced this image.
Update October 3, 4:20 PM: The LoL designerAaron “Sanjuro” Rutledge seems to no longer work for Riot after he insulted the streamer loltyler1 on Discord. “The streamer would die from a cocaine overdose and testicular cancer anyway.”
The British site PCGamesn reports that a Facebook screenshot surfaced, which could confirm the termination of his collaboration with Riot. Rutledge wrote on his personal Facebook account a status announcing that he no longer works for Riot. Additionally, Rutledge’s LinkedIn profile also states that he ended his employment with Riot in October 2017.
It seems that Riot wants the incident to fade away. Several Reddit and forum postings about the incident have been deleted. The summoner name “RiotSanjuro” has also disappeared from the North American servers. Rutledge has deleted his Twitter and Reddit accounts.
Original report:
Aaron “Sanjuro” Rutledge is the Lead Experience Designer at Riot Games, the company behind LoL. He vented in the Discord channel of the LoL subreddit about the streamer loltyler1.
In the meantime, loltyler1 swears he has turned over a new leaf and has given up his toxic behavior. Riot then restored the streamer’s right to create accounts for League of Legends.
The lead designer Sanjuro, however, still seems to hold a grudge against loltyler1.
On the communication platform Discord, Sanjuro insulted the streamer with harsh words: “It’s okay, he’ll die from a cocaine overdose or testicular cancer from all the steroids anyway … then we’re Gucci.”
Other users reacted to this statement with disapproval and found the behavior of the Riot employee inappropriate. Sanjuro initially felt justified. Loltyler1 had caused him so much trouble in the past that he spent many hours of his workdays occupied only with the streamer. Screenshots of Sanjuro’s statements can be found on Imgur.
Later, he came to the realization. On Reddit, Sanjuro stated that his comments were personal in nature and that he should never have posted them with a Riot tag. Furthermore, he asked the community not to take a live chat out of context.
Ultimately, Sanjuro issued an apology:
“Last night I showed poor judgment and want to sincerely apologize for my comments. They crossed a line and none of you deserve to hear such things, especially not from a Rioter. I will take a break from Reddit, Discord, and game chat to reflect on how I communicate with players.”
Riot expressed their anger over Sanjuro’s behavior on Reddit and also apologized to loltyler1 and the community. Such behavior is not okay, and internal measures would be taken. In the meantime, Sanjuro’s Reddit account has been deleted.
Many online games are now being developed openly. Players can participate in the development early on. We have selected four games for you that are still in development. What is happening there?
Almost no game is released today without a public test. Every developer relies on free testers who can test the video game in advance with access via early access, Kickstarter/funding, or during events.
With the number of games available, it can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why we have created a small overview of games that are currently in intense development.
Legends of Aria – starting beta soon
What is Legends of Aria? Legends of Aria originated from the game Shards Online. It is a sandbox MMORPG where every player can forge their own path. The economy is heavily influenced by players, quests have no predetermined solution, and extremely experienced characters can become immortal gods.
What is the current state of development? Currently, the game offers a large world with two capitals where players can start their adventures. There are also open-world dungeons, five underground dungeons, and much more. The skill-based combat system gives every character access to abilities that allow for countless builds.
What is Camelot Unchained? In Camelot Unchained, fans of player-versus-player combat will get their money’s worth. The fantasy PvP MMO is set in the Arthurian legend and features sieges, massive battles, magic, and crafting. The focus is on group play with friends or large guilds to rebuild the shattered world while competing against rivals.
One of many fan creations featuring C.U.B.E.
What is the current state of development? The game offers at least 21 races and at least 30 different classes for 3 factions, providing a solid foundation for well-organized brawls. The current development aims to deliver a smooth beta experience and is preparing for sieges and team play.
What is the alpha/beta status?Camelot Unchained is currently in a “sprint to beta”, which might even be playable in October. Previous tests have been limited to mass tests with hundreds of bots, so live tests are still pending.

Crowfall is gradually becoming the game it wants to be
What is Crowfall? The MMORPG Crowfall focuses primarily on free character development rather than open game development. 13 starter classes can be expanded into 3 ascension classes each. Even during character creation, advantages and disadvantages are chosen, and later disciplines unlock new skills, giving each character something unique. Through housing with a parcel system and vassalhood, entire kingdoms can be established.
What is the current state of development? Recently, Crowfall announced the latest race, the Stoneborn. Alongside an active combat system, resource harvesting is also active – it behaves like resource collection in survival games. Additionally, a siege system allows factions to claim castles or attack foreign castles.
What is the alpha/beta status? The game is constantly in testing phases. Supporters can still play the current one until the sixth of October! For the future, the first official campaign is planned.

What is Dauntless?Dauntless is a kind of “Monster Hunter MMO” that fans of this series will enjoy. The game promises exciting battles against “Behemoths”, which require learning their attack patterns in a Dark Souls manner to ultimately protect the world from danger. Behemoths drain the aether, essentially the life from the world, which is why they must be brought down.
What is the current state of development? With four weapons available, players in the closed beta can embark on their hunt: axe, sword, gun-hammer, and chain blades. It becomes easier when you gather hunting companions and pursue monsters together. Veterans and danger seekers can, of course, also venture out alone.

A new leak reveals the Overwatch content for Halloween – if the information can be trusted.
Whenever there is a few weeks of calm around Overwatch, there are always “leaks” in the forums and social media promising to provide a glimpse into the future of the hero shooter. Most of these leaks can typically be dismissed as mere fantasies – but a few have at least a theoretical chance to offer a small preview.
According to an alleged leak on 4chan, Halloween in Overwatch in 2017 is said to last from October 10 to October 31. The leak promises the following content:
All “old” Halloween skins at a reduced price (like during the Summer Games)
50 new items, including: A classic “Hunter” skin for McCree, Sombra as a jester, and Ana as a plague doctor
But even beyond Halloween, new things are supposed to come to Overwatch:
A new Cinematic is said to be released soon, which will focus on Symmetra. It will delve into the motives of the mega-corporation Vishkar and how Symmetra leaves the corporation to independently improve the world with her hard light technology.
Lastly, the leak also mentions a new hero. Allegedly, the name of the next hero is “Zeno“, although this could just be the internal name (similar to how Orisa was internally referred to as “Anchora”). This hero is a healer who generates healing in an area. At the same time, enemies in the area are slowed down and receive slightly increased damage, making choke points particularly more dangerous.
Cortyn says: The leak is not particularly convincing. The idea that Ana is supposed to get a “plague doctor” skin seems unlikely, as Reaper already has such a skin. Other points could very well be true, as new items for Halloween are practically guaranteed, and a Cinematic would also make sense – especially since BlizzCon is in November, this seems only logical.
What do you think of this leak? Do the described things sound credible enough to you? Or is it all just nonsense at first glance?
The secret gear sets are the “Classified Gear,” which has better stats and additional bonuses compared to the standard gear.
Raid introduces these three new classified sets:
Striker’s Battlegear
Sentinel’s Call
Recoverer
You receive them by earning global event credits, bringing them to the global event vendor in the terminal, and purchasing Superior Raid Containers. These boxes may contain secret set pieces.
The global event ends on October 10th. After that, these three secret gear sets will enter the general loot pool. The chance of obtaining the desired items will be lower than during the event.
By the way: By climbing the global event leaderboard, you can earn “Classified Caches.” This will give you additional secret gear set pieces at the end of the event.
This is what the three Secret Sets from the Raid can do
Only when you have equipped five or six pieces of a secret set will the 5-set and 6-set bonuses become active.
Striker’s Battlegear
2-set bonus: +20% Stability
3-set bonus: +10% Enemy Armor Damage
4-set bonus: Talent – Every consecutive hit deals 1% more damage. The bonus can reach up to 100%. Missed shots reduce it by 2%. The bonus decreases by 1% per second.
6-set bonus: Every hit grants 0.1% self-healing of maximum health per second. For every 1000 stamina, the bonus increases by 0.01%. The effect is stackable up to 100 times. The bonus decreases by 0.1% each second and can be removed by EMP.
Sentinel’s Call
2-set bonus: +30% Precision
3-set bonus: +10% Headshot Damage
4-set bonus: Talent – Headshots with semi-automatic weapons mark the target and increase the damage dealt by 5% for 30 seconds. A target can receive up to three marks.
5-set bonus: +15% Precision, +15% Headshot Damage
6-set bonus: NPC enemies can receive up to 6 marks. After 3 marks, there is a 25% chance that the mark will transfer to headshot targets within a 10-meter radius. With 6 marks, headshot damage increases to 100%.
Recoverer
2-set bonus: +30% more range for the Support Station
3-set bonus: +50% duration for the Support Station
4-set bonus: Talent – All mods of the Support Station are active simultaneously
5-set bonus: +15% Support Station range, +25% Support Station duration
6-set bonus: +50% shorter revive timer, +100% Support Station healing speed, +100% Support Station health points. Additionally, the Support Station has a 35% chance of not triggering a cooldown when destroyed by an enemy. For every 2000 electronics, the chance increases by 2%.
There are rumors that Microsoft wants to expand the exclusivity of the shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). Then a PlayStation version would be ruled out. The hit shooter would be available only for PC and Xbox One.
According to the financial site Bloomberg, Microsoft is in talks with the company behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Microsoft wants to expand the agreement to bring PUBG exclusively to Xbox. This information has been provided by Bloomberg from “people familiar with the matter.”
Is the PS4 version of PUBG coming in mid-2018 or not at all?
Currently, Microsoft has the hit game PUBG labeled as “Console Launch Exclusive,” which was announced at E3. However, it is not entirely clear what exactly “Console Launch Exclusive” means. Microsoft has declined to comment on this; they only said: At launch, we will be the only console that has the game. What happens later is not our concern.
According to Bloomberg, the current agreement states: A PS4 version for PUBG will be released at least “3 months” after the version for the Xbox – which is planned for the end of 2017. Such a console exclusivity serves to ensure that players choose a specific console.
As a possible time frame for the release of a PS4 version of PUBG, Bloomberg indicates mid-2018 or even later.
Microsoft likely wants the shooter for themselves
But apparently, that is still too early for Microsoft, they want PUBG exclusively for themselves on consoles, wanting PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds exclusively for Xbox. Because that is the consequence of an expansion of the exclusivity deal.
If Microsoft’s talks with PUBG about the extension of the deal are successful, a PS4 version of PUBG could be completely dropped. It has not been officially announced yet.
Recently, Bloomberg reported that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is in talks with Sony to develop a version of the shooter for PlayStation. There is still no official confirmation that the talks have been successful.
No comment from Microsoft
Microsoft has declined to comment on these rumors. Currently, the PUBG team is focused on delivering the best possible game for PS4 and Xbox One.
It is important to note: These are currently rumors from “normally well-informed circles.” There is no official confirmation from PUBG that they are currently discussing an expanded exclusivity deal with Microsoft.
You found an exotic armor for the Titan in Destiny 2 and don’t know what to do with it? We introduce the Exotics and provide build suggestions.
Destiny 2 offers a wealth of exotic weapons and armors that can make your Guardian stronger. Choosing the right equipment is essential when you want to tackle the toughest content to secure critical advantages.
It should be noted: You can only equip one exotic weapon and one exotic armor at a time. So the choice of Exotics needs to be well thought out.
We now offer you a list of all exotic armors for the Titan. Which subclass and skill tree should you use with the exotic armor? Which exotic weapon is suitable?
[toc]
Unlike exotic weapons, armors are always class-specific. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks have their own armor pieces that can only be equipped by their respective class.
At first glance, the helmet seems more suited for the “Code of the Juggernaut” skill tree, as it favors a melee-oriented playstyle. Upon closer inspection, however, you can compensate for a significant disadvantage of the Earthshaker with the helmet: its lack of health regeneration.
The Code of the Earthshaker is a skill tree focused entirely on offense, offering no tools for recovery. The helmet perfectly covers this weakness.
The choice of exotic weapon is up to you, but the Risky Business (Submachine Gun) has a perk that is helpful when using an Arc focus. The Arc Conductor perk increases weapon damage and makes you more resistant to Arc damage. Just toss a pulse grenade at your feet and start shooting!
Mask of the Quiet One
The Mask of the Quiet One is a new helmet in Destiny 2, its exotic perk is called Feared Visage:
Grants melee, grenade, and ability energy on damage taken. Void ability kills grant health regeneration
Mask of the Quiet One
With the following “build,” you should play the Mask of the Quiet One:
Focus – Sentinel Titan
Build – The Code of the Attacker
Exotic Weapon – Any
The Code of the Attacker offers two perks that reduce your cooldowns: Trenchcoat (reduces the cooldown time of the super) and Top Arsenal (grenade kills recharge the grenade). Together with the helmet, all your abilities recharge even faster, allowing you to get kills that initiate health regeneration.
Go all in on the abilities!
The choice of exotic weapon is up to you — play with the weapon you like best!

The PS4 is receiving the system software update 5.00 today, on October 3rd. It is now available for download. What are the patch notes?
This morning, on October 3rd, Sony released the update 5.00 for the PlayStation 4. You need to download and install it to be able to play online again.
The update 5.00 is 374 MB in size.
The installation process may take a few minutes. The PlayStation 4 will restart multiple times during this process.
Patch Notes for 5.00 – The Key New Features on the PS4
The update 5.00 has been extensively tested by beta testers over the past months. The key features were already revealed in August:
With update 5.00, all users who own a PS4 Pro can stream their gameplay directly via Twitch at 1080p and 60 fps.
PlayStation VR now supports virtual 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound through headphones when watching Blu-rays and DVDs in cinema mode.
The existing main/sub-account system on the PS4 is being redesigned, now there are family accounts for adults and for children. Up to 7 family members can use the online features. The special thing: For each child, the settings can be configured individually. This parental control can be set up at any time from a PC or smartphone.
You can now follow accounts of all PSN users. Previously, this was only possible with some verified accounts, such as official game accounts or accounts of certain developers or YouTubers. Now it applies to everyone. You don’t even have to send them a friend request. This will not fill your friends list either. You can of course set whether you want to allow everyone to follow you – or just your friends. Users can also be blocked.
With custom friend lists you can organize your friends more easily.
Additionally, the quick menu has been updated: there is now a clock, you can leave parties faster, and for the songs being played on Spotify, you can see albums and playlists. You can also customize your notifications.
You can find the complete patch notes here in screenshot format:
In Destiny 2 today, on October 3rd, is the Weekly Reset. New activities like the Nightfall Strike or Flashpoint are coming.
For the launch month of September, Bungie released a roadmap with the most important activities. This indicated when which content would start. Thus, the Guardians knew weeks in advance what to expect at the Weekly Reset and what else was up.
However, this seems to have been a one-time thing: No roadmap is available for October.
However, this is not too tragic, since the infographic for September was quite faulty. The Flashpoints were mixed up, the Trials specifications and the Nightfall modifiers were completely scrambled.
So we are stepping into an uncertain future! Let’s see what the weekly reset brings.
Nightfall Strike on October 3rd on PS4 and Xbox One
This week, the Song of Savathûn is up as the Nightfall.
The modifiers:
Momentum: Health and shield regeneration are disabled while standing still. Sprint to recharge them faster.
Time Loop Anomalies: Destroy anomalies to extend the mission timer.
The challenges in the Nightfall Strike:
Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
Complete the Nightfall with fewer than 3 deaths.
Shoot 15 of its projectiles before defeating the Song of Savathûn.
Flashpoint, Treasure Maps, Raid Order
The Flashpoint this week is located in the EDZ. You can complete public events there.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is shrinking the number of its servers. This means that some players may lose their character names.
Big changes are coming for the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Lead Producer stated that they want to find new ways to bring even more players together. This will primarily happen through server mergers.
The number of servers in SWTOR will shrink from 17 to 5, but these servers are expected to be significantly improved. Investments have been made in both new hardware and new software to enable the most stable servers ever.
For German players, this means that the servers T3-M4, Vajervalis Chain, and Jar’Kai Sword will become a new server: Tulak Hord (Europe – German)
The merging under the name of the “United Forces Campaign” will take place in several steps.
October 10: Game Update 5.5 – Minor improvements to game comfort and fundamental system changes for upcoming patches.
October 24: The hardware and software of the existing servers will be replaced.
November 8: The 5 new, major servers will launch, and all players will move there.
What happens with duplicate names?
If, during the server merger, characters have the same name, there is a clear hierarchy regarding who may keep their character name and who must choose a new one.
Premium accounts (subscription) have priority over Free2Play and preferred players
Characters with more playtime have priority over characters with less playtime
Moreover, BioWare will ensure that “account corpses” will have minimal impact. All characters that have not been played in the past 90 days prior to the update will be automatically flagged for renaming.
If a player has multiple legacy names because they are active on multiple servers, all characters will adopt the legacy of the server with the highest legacy level.
Cortyn says: In the comments, many players lament that this is quite a long blog post just to announce that slowly there are too few players and the servers must be merged. And I have to honestly admit that it all sounds a bit too positive. But it remains to be seen how SWTOR develops. Many fans are slowly yearning for a larger story expansion – perhaps it will be announced soon.
In FIFA 18, we look at the best camera setting that is supposed to help you win more matches.
Now to a tip that is supposed to work “wonders” and elevate your FIFA gameplay to a higher level. Redditor GolduckAF describes which camera setting he uses and what impact it had on his win rate. He claims he plays significantly better now and wins more often. How is that possible?
Change Camera on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
You can permanently change the camera setting before a match in the “Game Settings”, but the camera settings are also available during a match under “Game Settings”.
https://youtu.be/OsADZlukH6I
Here you find several cameras for the modes, such as the single player, multiplayer or “Pro Clubs” camera. For FUT 18, you need to choose the multiplayer camera. You will find these camera perspectives:
Standard
Broadcast Tele
Tele
Co-op
FIFA 16 Standard
Dynamically
Long View
and Broadcast
You can also influence the camera height and zoom.
The Best Camera Setting for Better Overview
According to GolduckAF, you create the outstanding camera view as follows:
Camera: Co-op
Camera Height: 20 (Maximum)
Camera Zoom: 0 (Minimum)
This way, the camera is similar to the Tele – one of the most popular settings – but significantly higher, allowing for a better overview.
Tele
Co-op
The user reports that it is “insane” how much the gaming experience changes as a result. You (usually) see every player on the field, see the spaces, formations, and the movements of your teammates. This way, it’s possible to play smarter passes and recognize situations you didn’t see before.
Many users agree in the comments: It is indeed significantly better to play with this camera setting. FIFA 18 feels like a new game.
So: If you are looking for ways to improve your game, this tip is worth a try.

If you are smart, you should leave a quest in WoW unfulfilled. We will tell you why you shouldn’t complete the mission!
Although most players have long since completed the story missions of Argus, the new area in World of Warcraft, there is still another quest line that is progressing very slowly. While the war efforts on the Draenei’s home planet advance, there is a particularly long quest line. Here, players gradually upgrade their followers from the order hall piece by piece: first to item level 900, then 925, and finally 950.
These efforts are then rewarded with new, even more challenging order hall missions, which also offer greater rewards. Or not?
On Reddit, the user Nony2 has pointed out that one should not complete the quest Take the Edge off (Etwas weniger Druck). The quest requires you to upgrade 6 followers to item level 950. Completing it does not make the missions more rewarding – but primarily more expensive. The required order resources for the respective rewards increase, and it also becomes harder to succeed in the challenges of the mission.
Thus, the missions after completing the quest line almost always have a success chance of -50%. To get the reward and the bonus, you must increase the success chance by 250%. This almost always means that you have to send at least 2 champions to have any chance of the bonus. Currently, often just one champion and one “weak” follower per mission is sufficient.
Currently, players are still pondering why they should even unlock the new missions. The leading theory here is that new missions will be added with the opening of the raid Antorus, the Burning Throne.
So, anyone who wants to save order resources and still “cash out thickly” with their followers for a while should not complete the quest “Take the Edge off” yet.
Perhaps Blizzard will issue a statement in the coming days or the usefulness of the expensive and challenging missions will become more apparent.
