Sombra hacks the world – and also the “Play of the Game” moments in Overwatch.
Every week, absurd, exciting, or simply funny moments happen in Overwatch, often captured in a “Play of the Game.” We have searched through social media and picked three special highlights for you. Enjoy our 3 “Play of the Game” moments of the week!
Sombra will surely shake up Overwatch, as player Coil emphasizes. While McCree tries to stop the payload heading toward the objective, Reinhardt protects all allies with his shield. What they don’t know: Sombra is sitting behind another wall, ready to trigger her ultimate. See how wonderfully it works in combination with his “High Noon” here.

Sometimes you can’t quite grasp your own luck. Such was the case for Displonker, who is charged by the enemy colleague as Reinhardt on the map Eichenwalde. But instead of dying, Displonker safely lands back on the bridge, while the other Reinhardt dies. Jumping for joy, our protagonist returns to the battle only to be greeted by Pharah – see for yourself.

Finally, here’s a silly clip from the PTR. As we all know, Sombra is one of the biggest hackers in the world and can accomplish pretty much anything in cyberspace. But what happens to this Tracer should actually exceed Sombra’s abilities.

In Pokémon GO , there is still an undiscovered secret waiting for trainers. Does it have to do with the PvP system?
The contents of the latest updates in Pokémon GO have been interesting, as the developers particularly addressed the wishes of the trainers. Recently, for example, there is the catch bonus in Pokémon GO, which increases the chance of safely catching various Pokémon. Besides the other new features in the game, there is said to be a secret that has not yet been discovered. This is what John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic, says.
Secret feature in Pokémon GO
In an interview with Gamesradar, John Hanke said that there is currently a secret in the game that probably no one has discovered yet. “There will always be secrets in the game that no one discovers because we constantly add new secrets to the game. There is even one at the moment. We will see how that will manifest in the coming weeks.” However, the Niantic CEO did not provide further information on this topic.
Just a few days ago, dataminers found clues to 100 new Pokémon from generation 2 in the code of Pokémon GO. Possible traces of Ditto were also found in the controlled data. What the big secret is that John Hanke spoke about will only become apparent in the coming weeks. The game still lacks major features like a PvP option where trainers can play against trainers . Competing in Pokémon battles with other trainers around the world has been desired since the day Pokémon GO was released. This way, players could prove their skills in “real” battles instead of battling Pokémon in gyms that defend themselves with the help of computer controls. By the way, there have been some changes to gym battles in Pokémon GO in the current patch 0.45.0.
What could the secret be that is currently hidden in Pokémon GO?

With Hellion, sandbox and science fiction fans can fully enjoy themselves. You can try out this interesting and visually stunning online game starting in January.
Because in January, the early access phase will begin. The developers will announce a precise date soon. What, you don’t know Hellion yet? It could really strike a chord with sandbox fans!
The Awakening into a Nightmare
The events begin when colonists awaken in the 24th century from a hundred-year cryogenic sleep in the Hellion system. Their plan is to establish a colony there. But what they find is a nightmare. A conflict has apparently destroyed large parts of the solar system. A reception by representatives from Earth, who were supposed to reach the system earlier, also did not take place. No one can hope for help either, as it would take 100 years to arrive. Chaos breaks out. The colonists turn on each other. Each one tries to survive.
After the colonists have split into groups, calm gradually returns over time. Space stations are established as well as smaller colonies on the rather hostile planets. Some set out to find out what has actually happened here. You belong to the new inhabitants of the Hellion system and try to find your way there. You can try your hand as a crafter, merchant, pirate, explorer… Your possibilities are virtually limitless. But first, you need a spaceship. You will gradually build this up to have better chances against your enemies in space. Because PvP also plays a role.

You fly through space with your ship, but you can also land on stations and planets or disembark in space to mine resources from asteroids. Graphically, Hellion makes an incredibly good impression. See for yourself based on the videos linked here. While the sandbox aspect is in the foreground, there is also a backstory. What has happened in the solar system? You can set out to find clues while trying to rebuild. How Hellion plays, you will find out in January during the early access. At least the early access will only be available for PC.

A new trailer shows Ragnaros and Varian in battle – the two new heroes for Heroes of the Storm.
At BlizzCon last weekend, some news for Heroes of the Storm was also presented, including the two new heroes. Varian Wrynn, the former king of the Alliance, and Ragnaros, the former lord of the Firelands. The two “former” heroes were now introduced in a “In Development” video, showcasing their abilities and design.

While Varian is a Warrior who decides after the round starts whether he wants to play like an Assassin or a Tank, Ragnaros is more “special” as he can even take over entire fortresses to briefly wreak havoc in his colossal form.
Now that Sony’s new console, the PlayStation 4 Pro, has been released, fans of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online can experience the adventures in 4k resolution.
The patch was released yesterday. So if you play The Elder Scrolls Online on a PS4 Pro, you can set the resolution to 4k in the options. According to Bethesda, this is not upscaling but native 4k. Thus, The Elder Scrolls Online is one of the first games to fully utilize the 4k capabilities of the PS4 Pro.
4k or Enhanced 1080p
If you don’t own a 4k TV, you still benefit from the higher performance of the PlayStation 4 Pro. In addition to the 4k mode, there exists a 1080p Enhanced mode. If you choose this, you still play at 1080p, but enjoy enhanced graphics, which are upgraded with detailed water reflections, improved ambient occlusion, and increased shadow quality. You have the choice of how you want to play The Elder Scrolls Online. In all cases, you benefit from the performance of the PlayStation 4 Pro.
The update installs automatically, by the way. You just need to choose the mode you want to use in the options. Then you can explore Tamriel on the PS4 Pro with enhanced graphic splendor and more details, more and better effects. Zenimax Online has released a trailer showing how The Elder Scrolls Online looks after the update. Be careful, to enjoy the full splendor, you need a 4k monitor for the video.

Today, November 11th, marks the start of the second week of the Survival PTS phase for The Division. What is changing?
Since the beginning of the week, PC agents can try out the upcoming changes of Update 1.5 and the Survival DLC on the public test servers and provide feedback. Massive wants to use this phase to ensure a high quality of the update and to bring it to the live servers with as few bugs as possible.
Today marks the beginning of the second week of the PTS. Initial revisions and updates are coming. However, maintenance will take place first. The server downtime is scheduled from 10 AM to 12 PM. After that, the online services will be available again.
Once the servers are live again, the Survival mode will not be playable for a while. Massive wants to direct your focus on the changes of Update 1.5.
The Patch Notes of 1.5 – PTS Week 2
The following changes relate to the PTS, not the live game.
Changes in the Survival Mode:
The enemies were perceived as too weak. Therefore, their lethality will be increased, especially at the beginning of a session:
Level 28 NPCs: Health +25%, Damage +12.5%
Level 29 NPCs: Health +16%, Damage +8%
Level 30 NPCs: Health +8%, Damage +4%
Furthermore, Massive observed that players acquire good items too quickly in the Dark Zone (from Survival). Crafting is happening too quickly. Therefore, fewer crafting materials will drop in the DZ now, high-end crafting is now more expensive, and high-end weapons will require Division Tech to craft. Weapon mods with increased magazine size will also be removed.
The update for the League of Legends 2017 Pre-Season is here. It brings us significant changes mainly in the jungle and for assassins.
Since November 9, you can download the latest Patch 6.22. This marks the beginning of the Pre-Season, bringing a few major changes our way. One of the biggest changes is likely the rework of the entire assassin class.
These assassins have been reworked the most
LeBlanc
Talon
Rengar
Katarina
What has changed for these four champions of the assassin class?
LeBlanc
Riot wanted to restore LeBlanc’s true identity and has made her more cunning than ever. Her ultimate “Eclipse” is now able to create a copy of LeBlanc that briefly becomes invisible. Both LeBlanc and her copy can enhance her other abilities, but only the real version deals damage. You can also enhance “Eclipse” itself, allowing LeBlanc to create a copy of herself with global range!

Katarina has received a new dagger mechanic that allows her to either set up fights or escape with increased movement speed. Additionally, it is now much easier for opponents to spot when Katarina is preparing to kill.

Talon will be a master of parkour with the new patch! Riot has looked at the best Talon players in the world, who quickly visited side lanes with the “Boots of Mobility” and greeted their opponents with even faster kills. With his new ability “Path of the Assassin”, he can now jump in the target direction over the next building or terrain and always be present at the scene with brand new gank paths.

Further changes have been made for Fizz, Kha’Zix, Ekko, Shaco, Akali, and Zed as well as some assassin items, including the “Jagged Longsword”. For assassins who rely on attack damage, the new feature Lethality will be important – this will replace “Armor Penetration”!
Plants in the Jungle
With the Pre-Season, interactive plants have moved into the jungle. These provide you with new opportunities to escape or provoke fights.
Appearance locations
Red = Blast Plant
Blue = Seer Bloom
Green = Honeyfruit
Additionally, the monster respawn times have been extended, and the monster gold and experience rewards have been increased. There are also more camp updates that will likely bring new jungle routes.
These skins will be released during Patch 6.22
Karthus Lightbinder
Jayce Hellhammer
Bard, the Bard
Worldbreaker Hecarim
Worldbreaker Trundle
Sejuani Twilight Hunter
You can find the complete patch notes on the official “League of Legends” website in our sources.
Also, don’t forget to adjust your masteries, as there are some changes here too. Have you already tried the new patch?

Today, on November 11th, the vendor Xur arrives in Destiny. Where is Xur and what weapon, which armor pieces, and which ornaments does he have available?
This week, events in Bungie’s MMO shooter have once again piled up. The Update 2.4.1.1 came out, which brought some improvements but also new problems. The second challenge mode in “Wrath of the Machine” went live in the form of the Aksis Raid Challenge, and on top of that, the November Iron Banner is running, which brought strong weapon rolls that you can grab until the next weekly reset.
The question is: What comes next? Currently, little is known about what to expect in the coming weeks. A major event around the Sparrow Racing League is set to start in December, but until then, it’s likely still a while off. Bungie recently announced new features for their website and a livestream for next week. But it seems that Destiny is slowly taking its foot off the gas. We’ll see what the future holds.
But first, let’s see what the exotic vendor Xur brings. Let’s welcome him together.
Everything about Xur in Destiny on November 11th, 12th, and 13th on PS4 and Xbox One
When does Xur arrive? When does Xur leave?
Experienced Guardians know: In the cold months, during winter, Xur arrives at 10 AM every Friday. He then presents his inventory to the Guardians and graciously accepts their Strange Coins. On Sunday, he disappears again at 10 AM.
Where is Xur? What is his location this weekend?
Xur’s location is unknown until he arrives. He always chooses spontaneously. This time, Xur is in the Reef, at the Vestian Outpost.
What does Xur have in Destiny? What is his offer today?
Weapon: Monte Carlo – Auto rifle for 23 Strange Coins.
Big changes are coming to Black Desert. The next version merges all servers into mega servers.
In recent months, things have been a bit quieter around Black Desert, aside from the release of some awakening weapons not much has been heard compared to the previous months. The reason for this has now become evident, as Black Desert is working to merge all European and American servers into a single new “mega server”.
Basically, the entire account will be transferred to a single server. Whenever there is an overlap (for example, with different success progress in multiple families), the character with the “best result” will be declared the new main character.
The merger will take about a week and starts on November 30. All players are urged to ensure that all workers complete their tasks by November 30.
Particularly heavy players with many characters need to plan ahead, because during the merger all characters will move to the new mega server, but only the 12 highest-level characters can still be played. If one of these 12 characters is deleted, the next one will take its place. After a grace period of 90 days, all characters exceeding the limit of 12 will be deleted. Also worth noting is the friends list. Only the most recent 50 entries will be retained, the rest will be deleted. Those with many friends in Black Desert should consider saving the list externally.
The merger promises to bring more life back to the economy of the game and sieges should benefit from multiple players as well.
A detailed listing of all conceivable cases “And what if…” can be found in our sources.
Exciting Twitch features are coming soon to the Bungie website for Destiny. Streamers and viewers can look forward to it.
Also this week, Bungie released the weekly letter to the community, “This Week at Bungie”. It is mainly about one thing: Bungie wants to put you, the fans and content creators, more in the spotlight. You should show the world your legend. And soon, this will be possible directly through the Bungie website in the livestream.
These Twitch features on bungie.net are expected to arrive next week. On one hand, you will be able to browse a list of streamers immediately, which you can customize with various filter options. For example, you can display only those streamers you follow, who are currently trending, or who are playing Raids or Strikes.
On the other hand – and this feature will likely be particularly interesting – you can inspect the equipment of streamers directly and at any time that they are currently wearing. You can even select the weapons that the Guardians are wielding at that moment in the stream and check their rolls. This will allow you to analyze their playstyle live and learn everything you want to know – without having to ask awkwardly in the Twitch chat first. The streamer will become transparent.
To become an active participant in the chat or to add your own channel to Bungie, you first need to connect your account. This should now be possible on the profile page. (We just checked: Log in to bungie.net, go to “My Legend”, then “Profile”, and it will already be prominently displayed that you can link your Twitch account.)
Once the Twitch integration features go live, you can host your streams directly on your profile page. There is even something to win: This emblem called “Can’t Stop The Signal”:
If you want to own it, you must stream a total of 77 hours with the Bungie-linked account. The community manager DeeJ has spoken about this directly: The 77 hours will only be measured once the features are live. He asks that you take sufficient breaks. There will be no “World First” status. You should get enough sleep, eat healthy meals, call your mother from time to time, and not clutter your channel with empty content.

Some Guardians are already calling for the Emblem Marathon Stream Hype. DeeJ jokingly warns that the first streamer to get the emblem will receive an 8-hour ban every day for a week. Because that’s how long you should be sleeping each night!
The new Iron Banner – More lucrative than ever before
More information about the Twitch features and a specific date for when they will be released will likely follow in the coming days. In “This Week at Bungie”, there are still numerous other statements that we will now summarize in bullet points:
The feedback on the Iron Banner has generally been positive, regarding setup and rewards. However, there is an apology for the confusion that the quest line introduced by Efrideet in October’s Iron Banner was only a one-time event. From now on, there are no more rewards after certain Iron Banner ranks. The bounties are the source of additional Iron Banner rewards.
All changes to the Iron Banner have been made to ensure that fun and rewards are at the forefront. You shouldn’t have to do complex calculations or plan the whole week to get the items. In many ways, the event is now more lucrative than ever before.
Next Wednesday, Bungie will hold a livestream, a “Ride Along”, in which they will talk about the “Wrath of the Machine” raid and provide insights into the creation of the raid.
Battlerite, the fun arena brawler from Stunlock Studios, is getting a brand new hero with patch 0.9 that was not previously found in a similar form in its predecessor Bloodline Champions. Rather, it is a small sprite who aggressively blasts everything with magic!
Wizards are worthy old men or women in tight robes who like to intervene in the battle from the second row using magic. Not so in Battlerite, because here the little wizard sprite Ezmo looks like a tiny hooded servant and casts his spells very aggressively right at the front.
A brand new hero
According to a teaser video, Ezmo’s skills include rapid-fire magical projectiles, a channeled death ray, and a teleport. As a result, the little sprite should be very mobile and deadly. Additionally, Ezmo is a completely new concept, as unlike for example the hunter Jumong, Ezmo is not a recycled hero from the predecessor Bloodline Champions.
Besides Ezmo, patch 0.9 also brings bug fixes and balancing adjustments. Furthermore, we can now level our heroes up to level 20. The complete patch notes can be found at the link provided in the source on the official page of Battlerite.

Finally, the release of the PS4 Pro. We summarize the information you need to know about the new PlayStation console – from the games that support native 4K to the technical specs and the comparison “PS4 Pro vs. PS4 Slim”.
It is finally here: On November 10, 2016, Sony’s super console was released: The PS4 Pro. This new gaming box does not usher in the next console generation, but it does bring noticeable improvements to the gaming experience.
The additional power of the Pro version gives developers the opportunity to get even more out of the games. In particular, graphic quality is expected to benefit. Many of the already released PS4 titles will be optimized with “PS4 Pro” updates and will offer 4K upscaling or even native 4K resolution.
However, many customers are asking: Is the hardware upgrade worth it for me? Should I buy the PlayStation 4 Pro? The following overview provides answers.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
PS4 Pro vs. PS4 Slim – Which PlayStation is right for me?
If you don’t have a 4K TV and no PlayStation VR? And the old PS4 is still working perfectly? Then switching to the Pro version may not be very lucrative for you, especially if you consider yourself a casual gamer. Nevertheless, the Pro has advantages that can enhance the gaming experience on your display.
In the future, more and more games will receive a “PS4 Pro” patch.
PS4 Pro in Review – The first reviews and opinions
Gradually, reports and reviews are being written about the PS4 Pro version, which many potential buyers are waiting for before they open their wallets. How does the PS4 Pro perform in tests? Is it worth it?
Currently, if you are looking for a bundle for the PS4 Pro, you will not find it. There are currently no “PS4 Pro” bundles; however, bundle offers won’t be long in coming. The console is now available at retailers such as Amazon, Media Markt, Saturn, GameStop, and others. The price of the PS4 Pro is set at a suggested retail price of 399 euros.
New sound effects should lead to better reactions in Overwatch . But does it help?
Currently, the latest patch of Overwatch is on the PTR, where both Sombra and the new 3vs3 and 1vs1 modes can be tested. However, this is not all that is to be discovered.
As the user HexZyle pointed out on Reddit, there are a number of undocumented changes on the Overwatch PTR. Notably, some characters have received new sound effects for their weapon when their ammunition is running low. These changes are minor and are likely hard to hear in the heat of battle – so a bit of practice and adjustment time will be needed.

So far, these sound effects have been implemented for Sombra, Symmetra, Mei, Zarya, and Winston.
What is the purpose of this change? Primarily, it serves as an acoustic warning that ammunition is running low. For Symmetra, Mei, and Zarya, this is particularly useful, as they can still use their alternate fire mode, which consumes a large part of the ammunition yet is still fired at full strength. Example: Mei’s Ice Crystal consumes 25 ammunition. But even when only 5 ammunition is left, the crystal will be fired with full force.

Players of Winston can also benefit, as the sound allows them to better gauge whether they can quickly deliver a “Quick Melee” strike on the opponent before the reload begins.

In WildStar we can now also join the Dominion as an Exiled to hunt bosses and loot. With the update “Redmoon Mutiny”, the faction separation is lifted.
Actually, the two WildStar factions of Dominion and Exiles are sworn enemies. But on the remote planet Nexus, there are enough dangers that justify a common approach. Therefore, with the recently released update “Redmoon Mutiny”, we can also complete group content with members of the other faction.
Raid is coming soon
The namesake raid “Redmoon Mutiny” is not included in the update yet. The raid, which we can then tackle together with our new friends from the other side, is set to arrive on November 16. Until then, we can at least grind through the existing content, for example the previous Redmoon Terror raid, with new allies and complete our raid team.
In addition to the mentioned innovations, there are also a bunch of bug fixes and PvP leaderboards. In these, we can see our PvP rank and even watch other PvP battles. You can find the complete patch notes for the update in the source reference.

In The Division, we look at the mission in Survival mode and examine what hunger and thirst do.
The Survival update brings a brand new, exciting mode to the game: Survival. In this mode, you crash-land in the midst of a severe snowstorm and a battle for survival begins, where you must utilize every resource.
You are not alone. Other agents roam the snow-covered city, and in PvE-PvP mode, some may turn rogue to save themselves.
Massive now explains what Survival is all about.
The mission in Survival mode
Your task is to find and retrieve antivirals in the Dark Zone, substances that inhibit the reproduction of viruses. Time is of the essence, which is why you are sent out during a severe blizzard. However, the helicopter crashes, and you must fight your way through the storm with only a pistol in hand to reach the Dark Zone.
In Survival, all of Manhattan is available as your playing field. A match supports 24 players, with player searches for groups and solo players happening in different sections, ensuring a balanced playing field.
Survive by any means necessary
Besides tough enemies, like the Hunters, you also have to withstand the cold, hunger, thirst, and a viral infection.
Cold: You can freeze to death in Survival. You need to seek warmth, such as campfires or sheltered areas. Also, cosmetic items now serve not only to style your look but also to protect you against the cold. Every piece of clothing has a cold resistance value.
Hunger and thirst: In Survival, you cannot starve or dehydrate to death. These two needs have a different effect. Thirst affects your vision and makes it harder to find containers that may contain important items. Hunger slows down regeneration. If you are well-fed, there are supposed to be advantageous bonuses.
By the way: Your teammates can share some of their food or drink with you. Sharing is possible. The only question is whether they will do it willingly…
Virus infection: A growling stomach, however, is not your biggest concern. There is an infection lurking in your body that is slowly killing you. With the help of medications and painkillers, you can temporarily slow it down and prolong your agent’s life. But beware: The more medications you take, the higher the resistance against them becomes. Eventually, you will be completely immune. If you want to survive, you must ultimately get to the Dark Zone and reach the extraction helicopter.
Crafting plays an important role in the battle for survival: You create not only weapons and clothing but also skills. Since resources are limited, you need to decide which items are vital for you.
The Survival mode is no walk in the park. On the one hand, you need to take your time and gradually equip yourself with better items to be prepared for the Dark Zone; on the other hand, you are under time pressure as the infection in your body continues to spread.
Rewards are always available
At the end of each session, you will be ranked based on your performance, whether you made it out alive or not. You earn points based on several factors, such as: How far did you get, how long did you survive, how many items and resources did you collect? The more points you earn, the more rewards there are.
Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls are now available in a bundle – the perfect opportunity to check it out.
Although Diablo is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the new announcements for Diablo 3 at BlizzCon were rather disappointing. The Necromancer will only be released in the second half of 2017 and the “Diablo 1” dungeon within Diablo 3 has left many fans skeptical.
A change in the Battle.net shop went almost unnoticed by everyone, as Blizzard now has a new bundle on offer, allowing you to instantly grab Diablo 3 and the Reaper of Souls expansion for just under 30 euros. For those who have not yet dared to check out the current installment of the Diablo series, now is the perfect opportunity to explore Sanctuary. Here is the Battlechest of Diablo 3 in the Blizzard shop.
The “Battlechest” is Blizzard’s equivalent of what other manufacturers call the “Game of the Year” or “Gold” version, where most additional game content has been integrated into the package. In this case, it is the expansion pack Reaper of Souls.
Cortyn says: I believe many players feel like I do, who, after the initial negative criticism of Diablo 3, initially kept their distance from the game. After the hack & slay was revamped, there simply was no time to revisit the game. Now, with the comparatively low price, the game has become worth a look for me. Thank you, Blizzard. Take more of my precious free time!

In Star Trek Online, we are a full-fledged starship captain and have a whole crew of eager subordinates to take on tedious duties. This “Duty Officer” system has been missing on consoles so far, but it is coming soon.
In Star Trek Online, we will soon be able to send so-called duty officers on missions and use them for our own purposes on the very successful console versions. This feature is currently only available for PC players of Perfect World’s Star Trek MMO and is reportedly coming soon for PS4 and Xbox One.
Redshirts to the Front!
In Star Trek Online, duty officers are generic crew members who assist us in our missions. For example, we can assign them to specific duties, so they provide us with passive bonuses in space or during away missions.
Alternatively, the comrades can also be sent on assignments that they will process in real-time and return with valuable resources depending on their success. So similar to the companion systems in Neverwinter or Star Wars: The Old Republic.

In Destiny, Guardians have recently been reporting a new issue: SIVA Key Fragments are no longer dropping in the “Wrath of the Machine” raid. Bungie is aware of the problem.
Normally, you obtain SIVA Key Fragments in Wrath of the Machine by overcoming the encounters with Vosik, the Archpriest, and Aksis. However, there have been increasing user reports of inconsistencies. The raid bosses are no longer dropping any fragments.
According to posts in the reddit forum, this is a widespread issue, but it does not affect every Guardian. Some are receiving the fragments as intended, while others, however, are supposedly getting way too many. The drops seem to be very random at the moment. The majority of complaints state, “No SIVA Key Fragments are dropping from the raid bosses!”
Bungie is investigating the reports
What does Bungie say about this? Through official channels: Nothing at all. This is surprising, as this problem seems to be quite extensive. Neither the community managers nor the official Bungie accounts have commented on it. Only in the Bungie Forum has the annoyance made it to the list of known issues.
Therefore, Bungie is now actively investigating the reports:
SIVA Key Fragments and Depot Keys have disappeared from character inventory.
You are not being rewarded with SIVA Key Fragments when progressing in the “Wrath of the Machine” raid.
By the way: Apparently, you are still guaranteed to receive the fragments if you open the fourth exotic chest and master Aksis Phase 1.
Is Update 2.4.1.1 to blame?
The “culprit” is quickly found: On November 8th, Update 2.4.1.1 went live on PS4 and Xbox One. This was supposed to increase the rate at which SIVA Key Fragments are obtained:
The first time a raid boss is defeated, it drops 3 SIVA Key Fragments. On the second kill of the week, there are two fragments, and on the third kill, only one.
No fragments are dropped at all for the fourth kill and all subsequent kills for that week.
Apparently, a bug was introduced here, which is causing the current issues.
What are SIVA Key Fragments anyway? You can use 10 of them to craft a SIVA Depot Key. This allows you to open SIVA Depots in the “Wrath of the Machine” raid. Additionally, the items are used to modify the raid armor.
Have you noticed this issue as well?

Revelation Online, the action-packed MMORPG from My.com, has been in beta for a good week now, and to help with bug fixing even better, the developers have implemented a handy bug tracker feature. This allows us to find and report bugs and issues more easily, contributing to a better game.
Revelation Online is currently in its first beta phase, and our task as beta testers is to help the developers fix bugs. And by that, the devs actually mean real programming bugs and not the annoying dialogues, menus, and tooltips, which come in either Russian or Chinese and cause us a lot of frustration!
Bugs on Display!
To better find and report the bugs, the developers have integrated a new feature in the Revelation Online forum. Through the “bug tracker”, we can report a bug and then see how a developer is currently addressing it and what the status of the bug is. The bug tracker can be accessed via the provided link.
Moreover, the developers have sent an interim report on the localization of the game. Because as every previous player of Revelation Online knows, half of the game is in languages that are rather incomprehensible for Western Europeans, such as Russian or Chinese. However, the developers assure that they are working hard on the localization and mention some impressive numbers that underline their Herculean task.
The China version contains over 9,000,000 (!) Chinese characters, and almost 1,000 interface files need to be translated. Additionally, there are hundreds of graphics somewhere with characters that also need to be painstakingly extracted and replaced with Latin letters. The developers still have a lot to do before everything is ready for the Western release.
