Destiny 2 offers you three basic classes: Hunter, Titan, and Warlock. It’s a tough choice. We want to know which class you want to try first when Destiny 2 starts.
Destiny 2 is an MMO shooter with role-playing influences. Besides your skill with the gun, each class offers unique features that are distinctly theirs. As in the first Destiny game, you also have the choice between the basic classes Titan, Warlock, and Hunter in Destiny 2. But which class are you drawn to first? Will you stick with your Destiny 1 favorite or do you want to try something different this time?
Destiny 2: Classes – Hunter, Warlock, or Titan?
In Destiny 2, you can choose your class at the beginning.
Titan: Titans are frontline fighters and defenders. They can erect protective barriers but also deal heavy damage. Titans are equipped with jet boosters, allowing them to take off briefly and gain height quickly. Especially cool: In the new subclass “Sentinel,” the Titan becomes a kind of Captain America, as he uses an indestructible round shield for both defense and attack.
Warlock: Warlocks utilize mystical powers that grant them healing abilities and powerful ranged attacks. Warlocks glide through the air with ease. The new subclass is the “Dawnblade.” Its super is a flaming sword that hurls “Solar blades” at enemies.
Hunter: Hunters are agile and nimble characters who can quickly move between cover and adeptly dodge attacks. Hunters are also swift in the air and can quickly change direction. Thanks to double or multiple jumps, this is no problem. The subclass “Arcstrider” unlocked automatically during gameplay is particularly strong in close combat due to its high speed and the Arc Staff.
Destiny 2: Which Guardian type will you play first?
Each of these classes has its own charm in Destiny 2. Which one will you play?
We have prepared a poll on the topic of “Classes in Destiny 2.” On September 6, 2017, the release day of Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we will publish the results. You can only choose one class. Have fun voting!
During PAX West, Ubisoft showcased new gameplay footage of Far Cry 5. Check out three videos here showing what vehicles, weapons, and other features await you in the game.
Have you been infected by the Far Cry 5 fever? In recent months, there have been more and more “treats” that slowly but surely got the hype train for the shooter back on the right track.
Initially, there were short teaser videos showing scenes of the city idyll and a clock tower. Now, you can get to know the game through extensive gameplay videos.
The latest videos come from the PAX West convention and shed light on the facets of Far Cry 5 more accurately than before.
Far Cry 5 Gameplay, Graphics, Weapons
Fans of the Far Cry series are probably counting down the days until the release of “5”. Tip: There are still 175 days left.
To sweeten the wait, there are new gameplay videos for Far Cry 5. In the game, you are supposed to protect the town of Hope County from “The Project at Eden’s Gate”. Eden’s Gate is an apocalyptic cult that wants to take over the town. You side with the citizens and lead the resistance.
During PAX West, the demo version of Far Cry 5 was extensively playable. Again featured is the Widowmaker – a powerful truck that can break through barriers. The loyal dog companion “Boomer” also shows why he can be really “OP” and almost completes missions on his own (Part 3).
In the gameplay footage, you can also see that shot enemies (depending on the severity of the injury) initially go down, but can then be revived by allies. You will get more insights from the three following videos.

And Bluehole, who are responsible for Tera and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
Back then it was said about Project W:
it is supposed to become a blockbuster PC MMORPG
it is also supposed to be released in North America and Europe
behind the game are developers from Aion, Tera, and ArcheAge
it is being developed with the Unreal Engine 3 and is a real eye-catcher
There are no further details about the game. It was mentioned in an interview with the Black Desert people in January 2017, that “Project W” is being further developed and is supposed to come to the West. Kakao will distribute it here. However, there were no details given about it. Since then, there has been silence, and no further information has reached the public.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently the topic at Bluehole, not Project W
Now the site 2p checked what is going on with Project W. Bluehole has meanwhile had the hit “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” and it is grabbing all the attention.
Apparently, Project W is still in development, but still in an early stage. Currently, Bluehole is looking for more developers for Project W, such as character artists, combat and balance designers, and many more. This is evident from Bluehole’s career page.
By the way, the title image and the other image are not actually from Project W, but from “Project Exa” – which was supposed to be the further development of Tera and could have been a precursor to Project W. “Project W” is just the working title; in Korea, games that are still in development are sometimes given such mysterious names.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Co-op is an important aspect of Destiny 2. Which activities can be played in Co-op mode? Is the campaign also playable in a group? An overview of the Co-op content.
Destiny 2 is a versatile MMO shooter: You can dive into war against the Cabal solo, compete against other Guardians in PvP, and play Co-op with your friends while shooting aliens in the face.
It is this extensive Co-op aspect that makes Destiny 2 appealing to many players. Facing PvE opponents together, discovering secrets, and taking down big bosses together draws numerous Guardians regularly into the Destiny universe. The social component in Destiny 2 holds the game together.
But which PvE activities can actually be tackled cooperatively?
PvE content with Co-op mode in Destiny 2 – the campaign is included
In principle: All content that you can start solo, you can also start with friends. However, there are different Co-op experiences.
These are all Co-op contents:
The Campaign: The story missions can be completed in a fireteam of up to 3 players. However, the initial moments can only be experienced solo. After that, you can immediately call your friends for help. You will receive a notification once Co-op (and PvP) become active.
In the campaign, it is about the war against Ghaul and his Red Legion
Strikes: These are standalone instances that are tackled in a fireteam of 3 players. If you don’t have two friends with you, two random players will be matched with you via matchmaking. In the strikes, you must face a variety of enemies; at the end, there is a final boss.
Nightfall Strikes: A weekly activity that is a harder version of a “normal” strike. Through Nightfall strikes, you can earn powerful loot at the endgame. The “Nightfall,” as it is called in English, can be played with three players in the fireteam.
Raid: The raid represents the longest, most difficult, and most comprehensive PvE Co-op activity. Little is known about the raid in Destiny 2, but it is expected that you will face multiple bosses, decipher mechanics, and master jumping sections. Raids can – and should – be played with 6 players.
Open-World Activities: In Destiny 2, there are four worlds that all have an “Open World.” You can freely explore these worlds and complete activities within them. You can fly into the Open World both solo and with friends – but not only that: During your exploration, you will also encounter other random players who are not in your fireteam. Together, you can participate in public events, explore Lost Sectors, or just fool around. You should also be able to observe other players as they complete Adventures, short side missions, in the Open World. All Open World activities can be found in our PvE guide.
Flashpoints: Flashpoints are basically part of the Open World activities. In a region marked as a Flashpoint, events must be completed. Then there are powerful items that have Nightfall strike level. Flashpoints count as weekly activities. They can also be played in a group.
These are all currently known PvE Co-op activities. There may be more, or new ones will be introduced in future expansions. We will then update this article.
Co-op only Online or also in Split-Screen?
Destiny 2 is an MMO shooter that you can only play with your online friends. Nothing is known about a split-screen mode. Therefore, only one player can play on a console or PC at a time.
If you are still looking for new companions for Destiny 2, then join a clan or create one yourself:
The developers of the survival MMORPG Dark and Light have announced an autumn update that is set to fix many of the current issues.
Dark and Light is successful despite existing problems. A lot has changed since its launch, and now a major update is set to release this autumn, which will bring a host of improvements and new features.
The team explains that the autumn update will primarily address a whole range of current issues in the game. However, the developers here will not provide specific details. It would be desirable for the performance to be significantly improved.
An update with many adjustments
At the moment, it is not yet clear when the autumn update for the survival MMO Dark and Light will be released and what it will bring. A few days ago, however, a new patch was released. This update brought a series of balancing adjustments. This is intended to make the hunting of creatures more enjoyable and exciting.
New, even larger mythical creatures have been added. The developers also worked on the taming system. Because you now need resources corresponding to the strength of the creatures you want to tame after the update.
Teaser trailer for the big autumn update in Dark and Light
This is set to be an even greater challenge than before. More rewards will be offered for success.
The developers of Dark and Light also released a first teaser trailer for the upcoming autumn update, but it doesn’t reveal much about the content of the patch.

Curious fact about PUBG: PlayerUnknown worked on a battle royale mode for H1Z1 at Sony in 2015. But then everything changed. Today, Microsoft has snatched the hit, and PUBG’s future on the PS4 seems uncertain.
It’s a strange story that gains irony in hindsight. The studio “Sony Online Entertainment” belonged to Sony but never quite fit into the corporation. At the helm of SOE was the controversial John Smedley. Smedley has extensive experience in game design, having worked on Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies, but he was also known for rubbing people the wrong way.
In 2014/2015, his Sony studio was not in a good place. The existing MMOs of the studio (Everquest, DC Universe Online, Planetside 2) were all aging, and only the massive project “Everquest Next” offered any future promise. However, there had been no updates for a long time.
At that time, the asset at SOE was H1Z1, a zombie survival game that had just entered early access and sparked a mini hype – but the game was still rough, and that hype was in danger of fading away.
In January 2015, Sony had all the puzzle pieces that make PUBG a hit today
The amazing thing is that Smedley in January 2015 brought on board the battle royale inventor “PlayerUnknown” to help create a battle royale mode for H1Z1. Smedley had already recognized great potential in Brendan Greene and his idea of “Battle Royale” back in 2014. At that time, Greene was just a modder.
Smedley called him before Christmas 2014 and said, “We should talk. I’m John Smedley, the President of SOE.” Shortly after, Greene was working for Sony on H1Z1.
But that wasn’t all: Smedley also had the idea to fully embrace Twitch, inviting streamers to promote his games. He had even done that before H1Z1.
Basically, Smedley, who was working for Sony, had all the ideas in January 2015 that would make “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” a gaming hit in 2017:
enter early access
fully embrace battle royale
bring in PlayerUnknown and have him build the mode
All of that was either done or in the works by January 2015 and belonged to Sony.
A month later, everything was different
But back then, that was not recognized, and it seemingly came too early.
The studio “SOE” was practically sold off immediately after PlayerUnknown started there and continued as the “Daybreak” studio on its own – H1Z1, the battle royale mode, Smedley, and PlayerUnknown had nothing more to do with Sony.
The timeline of Sony/PlayerUnknown is:
December 2014: Smedley recruits PlayerUnknown for H1Z1 and Sony Online Entertainment
January 2015: The two present the “Battle Royale” concept for H1Z1 and say that it holds great potential
February 2015: Sony separates from the studio, and it continues on its own.
Quite curious. What happened next?
Smedley later stepped down from his job there after a controversy. Everquest Next was later canceled.
H1Z1 was turned into two games – the battle royale shooter King of the Kill was successful for a while but has since been overtaken by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
PUBG and Sony and Microsoft – an interesting relationship triangle
Ironically, competitor Microsoft has now snatched the ultra-hot shooter PUBG as a “console partner,” and Sony players are anxious about whether PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will still come to their console. PUBG will likely be released for the PS4, but later than for the Xbox One. All of this could have been different.
My MMO thinks: The admittedly hypothetical question is whether H1Z1 could have become the hit PUBG is today with more money and help from Sony in 2015. We don’t know.
The amazing thing is that Everquest creator John Smedley already suspected in 2015 what would become the hit in 2017. Smedley basically did everything right but has no part of it today because he is no longer involved with the games. But it’s worth keeping an eye on Smedley; perhaps he has an idea about what will take off in 2019.

Battlefield 1 September Update Patch Notes
The developers usually release the patch notes for such major updates only after the update has been successfully applied and maintenance has been completed.
We will then update this article for you with the respective patch notes. So far, it is known that the “In the Name of the Tsar” update will include a new feature for better graphics: HDR10 support.
With HDR (High Dynamic Range), the appearance on HDR screens will become even better.
Thanks to better contrast ratios and an expanded color palette, a more realistic, comprehensive, and natural appearance is possible. Whether on the snowy Lupkow Pass or in the dark alleys of Zarizyn – the bright and dark areas are even more detailed and come closer to actual perception by the human eye.
This is a mandatory download for all Battlefield 1 players who wish to play online. The following bug fixes apply to all Battlefield 1 players.
ASSIGNMENTS AND SPECIALIZATIONS
Prepare yourself better than ever for battle with the specialization system. New customization options allow you to increase your effectiveness on the battlefield and discover new gameplay styles with your soldier. All players start with a set of base specializations, and numerous additional specializations can be unlocked by completing assignments.
Assignments are new challenges that will put your soldier skills to the test. Prove with first steps assignments that you have what it takes to be a soldier before you tackle the more difficult assignments in the “Stay Vigilant” category. Will you focus on one kit or complete them all to become a jack of all trades?
HDR10 SUPPORT
The game now supports HDR10. With HDR (High Dynamic Range), the visuals of Battlefield 1 are even more stunning if you have the required technology (a screen with HDR support and a console or PC with HDR functionality). Thanks to better contrast ratios and an expanded color palette, even more realistic, comprehensive, and natural visuals are possible.
DEPLOYMENT BONUSES
A problem has been fixed where the Origin Access badge was not unlocked when registering for Origin Access.
Additional assignments and specializations have been added.
Interface
A problem has been fixed where the wrong rank symbol was displayed on the kill card for rank 110.
A problem has been fixed where some weapons could not be fully customized through the frontend.
Shortcuts on the start screen have been replaced by dynamic battlepacks and assignments widgets.
The name filter now adjusts empty filter texts in the server browser.
Game servers with custom configuration now appear in the server browser under the category OWN.
A problem with accessing the options menu after leaving the server queue has been fixed.
A problem on the end of round screen has been fixed, where all class rank symbols were gold and did not correspond to the respective rank value (gold, silver, or bronze).
VEHICLES
Bombers will no longer receive multiple damage pings from a single bullet.
Changes to repair and respawn of stationary weapons – If the QF1 AA, FK.96 field gun, and 305/52 O coastal gun are not repaired for two minutes, the weapon will regain its full health. Players can continue to use the repair function to reactivate the weapons faster.
A problem has been fixed where the jumping animation froze when attempting to dismount from a jumping horse.
WEAPONS & GADGETS
A problem has been fixed where you could spawn with double gadgets.
MAPS & MODES
Collisions on stairs in Fort Faux have been revised so that players can crawl up.

NETCODE
The display conditions of the latency variation symbol have been revised.
Improved server-side player latency stability.
RSP
Increased the RSP map rotation limit from 15 to 24
With just one move to victory? With this OTK combo, a Warlock achieves funny moments in Hearthstone – the opponents are likely to cry.
In Hearthstone, players keep coming up with interesting ideas to combine existing cards. Sometimes unsuspected synergies arise, and some card combinations have led to an OTK combo. These “One-Turn-Kill” combos wipe out the opponent in one move, without them being able to defend themselves.
Most of the time, these combinations are frowned upon, and in ranked play, there are only a handful of these possibilities (like the “Exodia Mage”). A natural limit here is the card restrictions – only cards from the current and previous year can be used.
However, in the “wild” game mode, this restriction does not exist. All cards are allowed there.
The YouTuber and player Teelo shows a particularly funny variant. As a Warlock, he completely relies on his “Late Game” and tries to survive just long enough to have all the necessary cards in hand.

With the Drakkari Enchantress and Emperor Thaurissan, he lowers the cost of all cards in hand by 2 points in just one move. This allows him to play Majordomo Executus in the following turn and give it to the opponent thanks to Bribery. With the Crystalclear Potion, Executus is immediately destroyed – causing the opponent to become Ragnaros and have only 8 health points left!
Then come two Dark Bombs to the face and a Curse of Rafaam – bang, the opponent is down in just one turn.
What is your funniest OTK combo that you have experienced in Hearthstone? Do you think these possibilities are good? Or should they be removed from the game?
In Destiny 2, four new trailers have been released showcasing the open world of the EDZ.
The release of Destiny 2 is just around the corner! This afternoon, on September 5 at 4 PM, the servers in Australia will go live. 8 hours later, at midnight, the official release will also take place in Germany.
To get you pumped for Destiny 2, the official PlayStation YouTube channel has now released four new videos about Destiny 2, taking you into the EDZ. The EDZ is the European Dead Zone, an area on Earth where you land after the Cabal attack on the Last City.
A Look at the New Map
In the open worlds of Destiny 2, there is a lot to do. To help you keep track, a overview map has been introduced, which provides significantly more information than the maps in Destiny 1:

The map will display public events, adventures, and other tasks. You can also view milestones – specific quests. For some activities, you can already tell by the symbol what rewards they will drop or when they will start.
An important new feature: You can open the map and directly select a new landing zone to perform a fast travel to it. You do not have to return to orbit first.
Welcome to the EDZ
The EDZ is the largest area in Destiny 2. Here you will find numerous sights as well as activities:

The trailer mentions the open-world activities adventures and public events. We introduce more activities in our PvE guide to Destiny 2. You can also find hidden crates, forgotten lore, and “high-value targets” in the worlds. The NPC Devrim Kay is also waiting for you in the EDZ.
This is Devrim Kay
Devrim Kay is your contact for everything happening in the European Dead Zone. He sells you items and forms his own “faction”. So you can earn reputation and rise in his rank by earning EDZ tokens and bringing them to him. Then you can also earn rewards in the form of gear:

The lost sectors are shown on the map with symbols, but you cannot “mark” them. The map only shows you the approximate location. You have to search the area yourself for the entrance.
Once you find a lost sector, you need to defeat adds and a boss enemy. From this, you will receive a cache code, which allows you to loot the loot in the lost sector.
A vigilant viewer has noticed an unplanned leak. Heroes of the Storm might soon get two characters who both have a thing for dragons.
The next hero of Heroes of the Storm will be Kel’Thuzad – this has been known since Gamescom. However, the next heroes of Blizzard’s MOBA also seem to have unintentionally come to light.
Blizzard had released a YouTube series titled “Resurrecting Kel’Thuzad” in which the developers explained in detail how a new character for Heroes of the Storm is actually created. It included plenty of insights into the development process of the next hero – but also a few unexpected images.

On Reddit, the user Spellethur noticed a particular detail during a scene. A rough “plan” is shown on a screen in the video regarding the future of Heroes of the Storm.
Despite the blurry image quality, the names are distinctly recognizable: Hanzo and Alexstrasza.
What’s interesting is that both heroes have a “dragon” theme. Hanzo famously uses his “Spirit-Dragon” to shoot devastating arrows, and Alexstrasza is one of the most powerful dragons that ever existed – the Life-Binder.
Whether these two heroes are indeed next in line, we will probably find out in the weeks following the release of Kel’Thuzad.
The best part about this little “leak”? We can all look forward to hating the “Hanzo mains” in more than one game now.
As soon as it became known how leveling in Destiny 2 will work, hardcore players have already developed a method for getting to the maximum power level faster. But is the backdoor for the triple trick really open?
Attention: The article contains “spoilers” regarding character development in Destiny 2. Officially, these are not known yet.
Triple Trick: Is the backdoor to the maximum power level still available?
The actual important leveling takes place through equipment. Here, the system is stingy starting from power level 260, and there are only the weekly activities, the milestones, as a source of better equipment. Since players can only complete a few of these activities each week, they face the same problem as in Year 1 of Destiny. That was back in the time of “Forever 29” or “Forever 31”: It was incredibly slow progress.
Back then, there was only one way to improve a character from a certain level: through the raid. Players had only one chance per week to improve their character. Either the boss dropped the needed item or not, and that week was wasted. Because you could only attempt a raid per character once.
But even back then, players found a way to bypass this. Will the triple trick work in Destiny 2 with a small modification again?
Destiny 2: New game, old trick
The triple trick to level up particularly quickly involves creating three guardians of the same class and then switching the equipment among them: this increases the light level from run to run.
This is labor-intensive; you have to get all three characters to level 20 and likely complete the campaign.
The normal way would be: Character 1 completes the weekly activities and levels up from about 260 to power level 263 (as an example, it could also be 262 or 264 – we don’t know). Then, the character has to wait a week until the reset, then starts at 263 and, for example, goes up to 266.
With the triple trick, it goes like this: You complete the weekly activities with Char 1 and receive better items (263). Then you send these items to Char 2, who equips them and also has 263. Now you complete the activities again and receive “some better equipment” than before (266). With Char 3, you complete the milestones again (269).
If it goes like this and the item increase per week is roughly as stated, then “normal players” would be at 266 after week 2. Players with the trick, however, would already be at 278.
This way, players who use this technique will be significantly ahead of everyone else at the maximum power level of 300. After that, players can delete the two “duplicate characters” and start anew.
But will the trick work in Destiny 2?
However, we still do not know if the plan will work in Destiny 2. That depends on several factors:
It would need to be possible again to internally transfer armor.
And it should be possible to create more than one character of the same class.
The milestones would have to be limited to one character; if a completion counts account-wide, that would be a problem
The question is: Has Bungie closed this grindy backdoor from Destiny 1, or is it still slightly open?
Mein-MMO thinks: These are topics that we last dealt with in 2014/2015. Back then it was actually clear: They overlooked an error in the system. Bungie should have only allowed one character per class. This backdoor was never closed in Destiny 1 because they changed the whole system.
We will probably find out in the next few days whether the “triple trick” works.
We got the plan to try this trick in Destiny 2 from the comments on our Destiny 2 Facebook page! We told the reader who developed the plan: “That’s pretty nerdy.” He took it as a compliment.
Everything about the launch of Destiny 2 can be found here:
The developers want to reduce randomness in shotgun ammunition. Therefore, all shotguns will have ammunition filled with 12 shotgun “pellets”. The spread of these pellets is divided into 12 zones – 6 in an inner ring, 6 in an outer ring. In each zone, one pellet will land.
This ensures that the 12 pellets are distributed more evenly in the spread zone and do not randomly land all in the same zone for “one-hit kills”.
For these changes, the shotguns have been slightly adjusted.

The developers want to reduce randomness in shotgun ammunition. Therefore, all shotguns will have ammunition filled with 12 shotgun “pellets”. The spread of these pellets is divided into 12 zones – 6 in an inner ring, 6 in an outer ring. In each zone, one pellet will land.
This ensures that the 12 pellets are distributed more evenly in the spread zone and do not randomly land all in the same zone for “one-hit kills”.
For these changes, the shotguns have been slightly adjusted.

The self-loading rifles are being improved in terms of accuracy and range. Accuracy while shooting from a stand has been improved for all SLRs. Most also have a later damage drop-off, thus increasing damage at long ranges.
The spread per shot of the SLRs has been reduced by half. These changes are intended to clearly differentiate the SLRs from the LMGs and make them useful for Medics at greater distances.

Lewis, Huot, Perino (.303 heavy and 6.6 Carcano heavy)
Maximum damage: 2326.5
Minimum damage: 1520
Since the Lewis, Huot, and Perino will no longer drop off to a much lower BTK at range than other LMGs, their recoil has been increased slightly to compensate.
Lewis horizontal recoil: 0.340.48
Huot horizontal recoil: 0.160.28
Perino Horizontal recoil: 0.240.3
SMGs (Assault)
All SMGs now deal higher damage at long ranges, some also at close ranges. The Automatico did not receive a damage buff for close range to keep it in line with other SMGs. Instead, its vertical recoil has been reduced.
MP18, SMG 08/18 (9×19)

Extended 4, 5, and 6 hit kill ranges.
Self-Loading Rifles (Medics)
The self-loading rifles are being improved in terms of accuracy and range. Accuracy while shooting from a stand has been improved for all SLRs. Most also have a later damage drop-off, thus increasing damage at long ranges.
The spread per shot of the SLRs has been reduced by half. These changes are intended to clearly differentiate the SLRs from the LMGs and make them useful for Medics at greater distances.
ALL SLRs
-0.03 to standing ADS minimum spread.
Spread increase per shot (SIPS): 0.2 0.1.
Increased range for most SLR bullets.

Shotguns
The developers want to reduce randomness in shotgun ammunition. Therefore, all shotguns will have ammunition filled with 12 shotgun “pellets”. The spread of these pellets is divided into 12 zones – 6 in an inner ring, 6 in an outer ring. In each zone, one pellet will land.
This ensures that the 12 pellets are distributed more evenly in the spread zone and do not randomly land all in the same zone for “one-hit kills”.
For these changes, the shotguns have been slightly adjusted.

A new Battlefield 1 patch is significantly changing the strength of various weapons. LMGs are being buffed, SMGs are getting enhancements. Initially, the update will be tested on the CTE servers.
Currently, the community can test a patch on the Battlefield 1 test servers that reshapes the balancing considerably. This update is considered the largest weapon update in Battlefield 1 and will initially overhaul the meta. After all, the changes need to be thoroughly tested.
Weapon Update in Battlefield 1 – Patch Notes
Last Friday, the Battlefield 1 developers at DICE announced a new CTE update. And it’s not just any update, but the largest weapon update the game has seen so far. There are high expectations in the community for the changes.
In short, all classes are slightly improved, except for the Scouts. Support players need fewer shots with their LMGs to kill an enemy, and the self-loading rifles for Medics have increased ranges.
On Reddit, the developers explain what to expect from the update. Generally, these altered values are not final and may still be revised before they reach the live servers.
LMGs (Support)
The damage of all LMGs has been increased. This is meant to provide a better player experience, especially for the models that previously required up to 7 hits to kill an enemy.
Most LMGs now kill with 4-5 hits. For a few models, the recoil has been increased due to the damage buff.
Chauchat (8mm Lebel heavy)
Maximum damage: 3538
Minimum damage: 23 28
Extended 3 hits kill range
BAR and Benet Mercie (.30-06 heavy)

A demon on Argus sells cool stuff in World of Warcraft – in exchange for intact demon eyes. We will tell you how to collect them here.
The new areas in Argus are packed with hidden enemies and little secrets. Among them is a vendor named Orix, the Eye Collector. As his name suggests, he has quite a fetish for demon eyes and exchanges them for various useful or silly items.
Collecting Demon Eyes
The intact demon eyes can only be collected in the Antoran Wastes and only if players have a special buff. But where do you get this buff?
At multiple locations in the Antoran Wastes, the shrines of Orix can appear, which remain for a few minutes after being clicked by a player.
Positions of already known shrines and Orix’s location.
Activating a shrine inflicts damage equal to 90% of your maximum health – so use it only when you are at full health and not in combat.
The buff lasts for 60 minutes and gives you a chance to collect intact demon eyes from demons in the Antoran Wastes. At the same time, your damage taken is increased by 100% – so be careful! The drop rate of the eyes is not very reliable. It can happen that a single demon drops 9 eyes, while you may kill 20 demons without seeing a single eye.
This is what a shrine looks like – currently, it seems there’s always a shrine next to Orix.
Important: As long as you have the buff, you are effectively transformed into a Man’ari Eredar of the Burning Legion. This means that the normally friendly factions, such as the Army of the Light, will attack you on sight. So do not ride through friendly camps “as usual” – they will kill you and remove the buff. Leaving the zone – for example, using a hearthstone – ends the transformation prematurely.
What can you get for intact demon eyes?
Once you’ve collected enough demon eyes, you can return to Orix. He is hiding in a cave under the bridge at the coordinates 59, 45 in the Antoran Wastes. Currently, it seems there’s always a shrine next to Orix – although this could be a bug. Click on it to examine his inventory. He sells the following items for eyes.
Elixir of the All-Seer x5 – 25 intact demon eyes: With the elixir, you can renew the buff to continue collecting eyes. This eliminates the need to search for a shrine!
Crushed Demon Eyes x20 – 50 intact demon eyes: This item can be thrown at other players to temporarily color them fel green. Just in case you really dislike someone.
Gift of the All-Seer – 200 intact demon eyes: The Gift of the All-Seer works like the Elixir of the All-Seer and renews the buff that allows you to collect eyes. However, this item is never consumed!
Observer’s Resonator – 500 intact demon eyes: This item creates a portal that brings all allies in your group to the rare mob Rezira the Seer, who can drop a special toy. The resonator is not consumed upon use.
Squint Eye – 1000 intact demon eyes: A battle pet.
Eye of the All-Seer – 1000 intact demon eyes: A toy that allows you to target another character as a priest with “Mind Vision” and observe them. There’s also an extra button that lets you whisper demonic words to that player for one minute. However, it has a cooldown of 30 minutes.
This whole thing is reminiscent of the “White Bones” that you could farm back on the Isle of Giants. Unlike the Pandaria variant, however, the intact eyes are soulbound – they cannot be sold on the auction house.
What do I need to know about the release of Destiny 2 on PS4 and Xbox One? Here you can find all the info about the launch, server start, early access, character transfer, preload, and a successful start.
The release of Destiny 2 is now imminent: On September 6, 2017, the MMO shooter will be released for PS4 and Xbox One, and one and a half months later, on October 24, also for PC.
Before you start panicking and wondering if you’re even ready for the “Destiny 2” launch, you can now breathe easy. Because we have an overview for you here where you can read all the important information bundled together.
Everything you need to know about the launch of Destiny 2
When does it start? What time is the launch in Germany? – Is there an early access?
The official release of Destiny 2 is September 6, 2017. There will be a “rolling midnight launch.” In other words, in the various time zones around the world, it should start at 00:01 on September 6.
Therefore: In Germany, you can play starting at 00:01 on September 6 our time. That is the official time for the server start.
By the way: There is no early access. In Australia, however, the servers go live at 4 PM our time. It may be possible to access the game earlier here in Germany. We’ll find out then.
What about preload and a day-one patch?
The preload for PS4 and Xbox One has been live for several days already. You can download the required game data right now. If the download does not start automatically, you can activate it via your console store. It is over 32GB in size.
However, before you can start on September 6, you still need to download and install a day-one patch.
I don’t have Destiny 2 yet! What Editions are available?
You have several options to get Destiny 2. The easiest way is through the console store, where you can buy the standard edition, the digital deluxe edition, or a bundle of the base game + season pass digitally.
You can of course also buy Destiny 2 in disc version. Additionally, there are a limited edition and a collector’s edition available.
All editions of Destiny 2 with all contents are presented here. You can also pre-order via the given link. As pre-order bonuses, there is the exotic weapon Cold Heart, a kill-tracker ghost, and a salute emote.
I have already played Destiny 1! What about my existing character and rewards?
Bungie has not forgotten about veteran guardians.
If you reached at least level 20 with your characters in Destiny 1 and completed the “Black Garden” story mission, your guardians will be transferred from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2. You do not need to take action, this will happen automatically. However, you are free to create a new guardian.
In addition, guardians who have achieved important milestones in Destiny 1 can look forward to veteran rewards. There are exclusive emblems that you can find at the link, and additional “rewards” about which nothing is yet known. According to Bungie, veterans will enter Destiny 2 differently than newcomers.
You had until August 1 to secure your veteran rewards.
How can I prepare for Destiny 2? What do I need to know?
If you want to be well prepared for Destiny 2, you can read our guides and info articles about Destiny 2:
The new patch OB 58 introduces the VIP store in Paladins (PC, PS4, Xbox), a system where players can purchase VIP packs and earn exclusive skins like Raeve Maeve through gameplay.
The biggest innovation in Paladins’ new update is the VIP store. Patch OB58 introduces the new VIP system and a fourth currency. Players will have the opportunity to earn VIP points while playing. The points can be spent in the VIP store for exclusive skins and other cosmetic items.
Paladins receives the VIP system in OB 58 – Here’s how it works
The new VIP system is designed to give players a chance to financially support the “Free to Play” shooter. In the VIP shop, there are exclusive cosmetic items like skins or voice packs. These can be unlocked with VIP points earned during gameplay. Players earn VIP points for winning or losing matches.
Here’s how the VIP system is structured:
Players can purchase the VIP pack.It costs14.99 USD and already includes the first exclusive skin, VIP points, bonuses, chests, and 5x a 14-day VIP membership.
Alternatively, one can acquire a VIP membership. 14-day VIP memberships cost 200 crystals. The membership also acts as a booster for the VIP pack. Players receive bonuses on their VIP points and more chests.
Then there is a VIP points bundle. It costs 70 crystals and grants 10,000 VIP points.
Paladins is getting a graphical update that should improve performance in the future. The MOBA shooter is receiving DirectX 11 – a collection of programming interfaces designed to optimize fast graphics and audio operations. These optimizations should make the game run smoother.
However, the program is first going into beta. Players can voluntarily participate and test the new system.
DirectX 11 enhances CPU and GPU performance
To participate in the DirectX 11 Beta: Go to Settings -> Video Options -> check D2D11 (BETA) -> restart the game. To exit the BETA, simply uncheck D2D11 (BETA).
Performance will be improved by DirectX 11, but it may result in higher memory usage. This will be addressed in the beta before the release.
Bug fixes & general adjustments in Update OB58
The new patch makes general function adjustments and fixes bugs for Paladins. This applies to the interface and gameplay:
The preparation phase is now in third-person: Before each match, players have time to prepare and choose their cards. This will now happen in third person, meaning players can see their character from the outside.
Players receive 15 seconds more time in competitive to choose their champ.
Players who mute another player also mute the VGS for that player (No “Need Healing!!” spamming anymore!)
The feedback for damage and healing has been improved: Players will be able to see damage or healing received more clearly in the future. Now there is also feedback when healing was reduced, as the color of the healed numbers changes.
Especially the new champ Strix has received bug fixes. For instance, the consumption of stealth is now displayed correctly, and Chronos functions normally on him.
Bug fix for Mal’Damba: Sometimes Mal’Damba’s healing would stop. This is now corrected.
Champion adjustments OB58: New look for Barik – First nerf for Strix
The new champ Strix has caused some excitement because his distributed damage was too high and he could stay in stealth mode for too long.
Visually, Barik seemed outdated from Studio Hi-Rez and is thus receiving a graphical update in OB58:
Strix receives a nerf: Strix is new to Paladins and has entered the MOBA shooter a bit too strong. The damage of the sniper has been reduced from 1300 to 1200. The energy costs for stealth have been increased by 65%. Stealth energy recharge has been reduced by 20%. The maximum energy level required to use stealth has been increased by 33%.
Jenos receives a nerf: Jenos’ healing was too strong for the developers. Healing is reduced from 15%of maximum health to 10% of maximum health.
Maeve’s daggers are thrown faster: The time between dagger throws has been reduced from 0.1 to 0.05. Projectile size has increased by 16%. Projectile speed has increased from 260 to 400. Projectile gravity has increased by 33%.
Ruckus’ projectile speed has been increased from 300 to 400.
Several other champions have received minor adjustments as well. You can find those in our source reference.
New skins for Jenos, Cassie, & Lex – The Brazil chest is coming
The Brazil chest costs 40 crystals and contains weapon skins for Drogoz, Kinessa, Skye, and Tyra. In addition to the weapons, there are skins for Cassie and Lex, which feature Brazil’s main colors green and yellow.
Brazil-Cassie and Brazil-Lex – In the Brazil chest for 40 crystals
Eclipse-Jenos – Rare skin with body and weapon
Exclusive VIP skins for Lian, Zhin, Fernando & Maeve in OB 58
These skins are only available in the VIP store and can be unlocked with the new currency VIP points. Points can be earned during gameplay or a points bundle can be unlocked using crystals.
These are the exclusive VIP skins:
Goddess-Lian (Epic) – For 30,000 VIP points in the VIP store
FN-01 Erebos Fernando(Epic) – For 30,000 VIP points in the VIP store
Conqueror Zhin – Automatically unlocked by purchasing the VIP pack
Raeve Maeve (Legendary) – For 60,000 VIP points in the VIP store

In this patch OB58, the VIP store is the biggest change. However, the upgrade to DirectX 11 is also worth noting. Paladins has often faced issues with stronger lags. Such an upgrade could significantly improve Paladins’ performance in the future.
You can find the full patch notes in our source reference.
With the new patch OB 58, it is expected to arrive on PC on Wednesday, September 6. However, it may also come on Thursday or Friday. The consoles PS4 and Xbox One usually follow 1-2 weeks later.
In Hearthstone the community is criticizing the Druid – and the developers agree with them. A nerf is coming soon.
Those who have checked in since the release of Knights of the Frozen Throne in Hearthstone will primarily confront one class: Druids. They dominate the game, appear in many different variants, and all of them are so powerful that one has to create a complete “counter deck” just to have a chance.
A small indication that the Druid is too strong? At the HCT Europe Summer Playoffs tournament, a total of 77 players competed against each other. Each of them had a Druid deck. And each one was banned by the opponent because it was too powerful.
This also led to the game being referred to by many as “Druidstone” or “Hearthyawn” – because matches against Druids are boring. Many pros therefore refer to it as the “worst state that Hearthstone has ever been in.”
But Druids are not the only problem. Knights of the Frozen Throne has brought forth a whole series of decks against which playing is simply no fun. For instance, if one of the popular Highlander Priest decks manages to summon an Obsidian Statue with Barnes on turn 3 and resurrect it with full stats on turn 4, most opponents can already throw in the towel because they cannot recover from it.
Druid Nerf? Hearthstone head has ideas
At least in terms of the Druid, Blizzard is now showing some understanding. On Twitter, the Game Director of Hearthstone, Ben Brode, reveals that they are “considering options” to change the Druid. Even though Brode doesn’t phrase it clearly, it seems primarily to be about a nerf to Spreading Plague or the Evil Plague.
They plan to talk more about it this week and explain what changes are intended.

The AFK farmers in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are already on the developers’ radar. The team is now considering how to effectively deal with AFK farmers.
In recent weeks, AFK farmers in PUBG have been making headlines. Players enter a match and let the game play itself.
Jumping out of the plane, gliding to the ground with a parachute, letting themselves be killed, and then racking up in-game currency – all of this happens automatically.
However, this is apparently going to be addressed soon. The developers are already planning solutions to the problem.
Less BP for AFK Farmers?
The special Gamescom crates in PUBG attracted AFK farmers. Players log into a PUBG match automatically and are rewarded with in-game currency for doing nothing. They bought Gamescom crates, which they then resold for “real money” on the Steam market. However, this method is likely coming to an end soon.
In an interview with PC Gamer , Chang-Han Kim from the Bluehole development team stated that the developers are aware of the problems with AFK players. However, a specific solution has not yet been determined.
“Our team is working to determine exactly what is happening. We know that the number of AFK players is not particularly high. Nevertheless, we want to develop tools or systems to prevent players from just farming BP (Battle Points) and not participating in the match.”
“We could simply adjust the balance of the BP awarded after a match. On the other hand, we could also completely eliminate AFK playing. We have not yet decided in which direction we will go.”
Creative Player Solutions for the AFK Problem in PUBG
Several solutions to this problem are already circulating in social networks from the community. Players suggest that the automatic parachute jump should be removed from the game. However, this would likely only delay the time until a player goes AFK.
An interesting solution is suggested by player “Jon”. He says “Just implement a Captcha check when you want to open the parachute.”
Entering a solution word could at least keep some bots out of the game. But it would probably also affect regular players who have trouble deciphering the word combinations. “Hey Schuhmann, how could you die so early? The round just started.” “Ahhh I can’t write the damn word!”
Another idea can be found on Reddit: “Click on all the images where you see chicken in this dinner.”
The last ideas should be taken with a good dose of humor. We are already curious to see what system the developers will adopt to fix this “problem”.
Destiny 2 has a new clan system. How can you create a clan, join a clan, and edit the clan banner? All information about clans.
In Destiny 2, clans are significantly more important than in Destiny 1. They not only show the affiliation with other Guardians but also have their own progression system with rewards and exclusive bonuses.
However, to benefit from these clan innovations, you must first be in a clan. We will show you what you need to know about clans.
Creating and joining clans – How to join a clan
To create a clan, go to the official Bungie website and log in with your Bungie account. In the top bar, you will find the tab “Clan.” There, you can create a clan, search for clans, and later manage your clan.
When founding a clan, you will need to make some decisions that you can later adjust in “Settings”:
Clan Name
Callsign
Clan Motto
About Us: This is what players will see when they connect with your clan. Write what makes your clan unique.
What else can I set?
In the general settings, you decide on the clan join options, the clan language, and the level for membership or for guided games. You also determine what rights you want to grant the administrators.
In the settings, you can also manage invitations, kick members, promote or demote, and block players. You decide who is in your clan. You invite new members by searching for the player and sending them an invitation to the clan.
Designing the clan banner
In Destiny 2, you finally have your own clan banner that you can customize. For this, go on Bungie.net to “My Clan” and then on the left side to “Settings”. Here you will see a field with “Edit Banner”.
First, choose a banner emblem. Currently, there are 24 different emblems to choose from, and more may come in the future.
Then choose the foreground color and the background color of the emblem.
In “Banner Detail”, you will find several patterns that adorn the background of the banner.
In “Detail Color”, choose the color of these background patterns.
And for Banner Color, decide on the overall background of the banner – which is neither patterned nor emblazoned.
Now click on update banner, and you will have a customized banner. If you select “Random,” you will receive a randomly assigned banner.
You can adjust the banner at any time.
Collecting clan banners from Hawthorne and clan seasons
Hawthorne is a new character in Destiny 2 who will be important for clans. Because there, you will receive an in-game clan banner that has unique perks.
These perks are unlocked together as a clan. As your clan reaches higher levels, new clan perks become active. These perks grant you, for example, more rewards during public events or more glimmer when looting engrams.
You can see your clan progress on the clan page on Bungie.net by going to the clan profile. There, you will see a bar with the clan level, which is reset every season. How long a season lasts is not known. Depending on your progress per season, there are rewards. You can read more about clan perks and seasons here.
By the way: You not only receive rewards when you reach a high clan level per season. Every member of a clan also receives rewards in the form of engrams when your clan masters endgame activities (like Nightfall strikes). You can then collect these rewards from Hawthorne.
Guardian Oath for Guided Games
In addition to clan level, there is another clan score – the “Guardian Oath Score”. When you play by the rules of the Guardian Oath in guided games, this score improves.
Before you can lead guided games, you must take this Guardian Oath. In summary: You should be friendly and helpful and guide the solo player through the activity. If you fail to do this, the score will drop, and you will be temporarily barred from guided games.
How this score can specifically rise and fall is not known.
The coop shooter Warframe is getting a major open-world update with the Plains of Eidolon at the end of the year. The bosses in it are enormous monsters reminiscent of the Kaijus from Pacific Rim.
Warframe, the futuristic online coop shooter by Digital Extremes, will receive the long-awaited open-world update with the “Plains of Eidolon” at the end of 2017. In it, you can expect not only an open world full of NPCs, story and quests. There are even world bosses that are gigantic.
Warframe – Eidolons will be huge and hard to kill
In the Plains of Eidolon, the titular monsters will appear repeatedly. The Eidolon are terrifying creatures created by the “Sentients” to annihilate the Tenno. Therefore, they are truly huge. In an interview with PC Gamer, Live Ops and Community Producer Rebecca Ford (the voice of Lotus in the game) commented on what the Eidolon are about.

According to Ford, the Eidolon are about 10 stories tall. Therefore, they were also internally referred to as “Kaijus”, just like the giant creatures from the action blockbuster Pacific Rim. Additionally, the colossal monsters from the old Godzilla movies were referred to as Kaijus. As befits such a giant beast, you can’t just take it down.
Warframe – Monster kill requires teamwork
Rather, you need to regularly separate from your Warframe and head out as a human (and much weaker) Operator to make the Eidolon vulnerable with its special powers. Only then can you switch back to the Warframe and give the beast a few punches.
Plains of Eidolon – Open world with a day-night cycle
Also new in Plains of Eidolon will be a dynamic day-night cycle. However, it’s more than just a nice graphics gag. Rather, the time of day will influence your gameplay.
During the day, Warframe in the open world is the usual slaughter of the Tenno against their weak enemies. However, at night, the veteran mode starts, and inexperienced players should better retreat to the safety of the cities.
The economic system in the space MMORPG EVE Online is one of the most important pillars of the game and will be expanded in the upcoming addon Lifeblood with refineries and mining on moons.
The refineries are massive factories in space that players of EVE Online must build themselves. Here, raw materials are processed to create goods. This will likely affect the entire economy in New Eden and also spark new tensions among the various factions.
Anyone who wants to claim power in a specific area of the market can launch an attack on a refinery and ensure, by its destruction, that only their goods are in circulation.
Mining and Pirates
This is a new feature that the upcoming addon Lifeblood will bring. Also included is mining on moons, which is related to the refineries. You mine resources on moons and then process them in the factories.
Also, pirates will take notice of you. New bases of the buccaneers have already been sighted, who now smell profit if they can seize the newly mined raw materials.
Many New Features
Lifeblood will bring even more changes and new features for EVE Online, including a balancing update of the Alpha ships, the Marshal-class Concord combat ship, improvements to the Agency, and an overview of your mining activities.
Lifeblood will be released on October 24 for the MMORPG EVE Online. More information about the upcoming expansion can be found here in the video or on the EVE Online site.
