The second major expansion is approaching: After Underground, Survival is next. This DLC introduces a new mode where you must endure as long as possible during a heavy snowstorm.
You must survive the cold, hunger, thirst, infection, the night, and on top of that, the hunting! Because you are not alone in this horror scenario: You will encounter numerous familiar enemies, but also the Hunters – powerful elite foes.
You can see the dangers of Survival in the recently released trailer for the Survival expansion:

In the MMO shooter Destiny we take a look at the patch notes for update 2.4.1.1 on PS4 and Xbox One.
On the evening of November 8th, the hotfix labeled 2.4.1.1 will be released. Its primary goal is to bring “Quality of Life” changes – making the lives of the Guardians a bit more pleasant.
This update is exclusively for PS4 and Xbox One. You need to download and install it to play Destiny again. Bungie just released the patch notes. Let’s take a look at them.
Bug Fixes and Changes to Silver Dust
We are translating all the new features into German:
Strike:
A problem was fixed where not as many skeleton keys dropped in the Taken version of the Winterstorm strike as intended.
Crucible Map:
A problem was fixed where players accessed the rooftops of the skyline map.
Items:
Vex and Crucible weapons were not properly decrypted from engrams.
The ship Comitatus did not drop as a reward from faction packages as intended.
Dusty iron engrams no longer provide Legendary Marks when dismantled but now give silver dust.
It now costs no silver dust to equip “Iron Lord”, Trials, and raid ornaments.
The drop rate for SIVA key fragments has been increased as follows:
The first time a raid boss is defeated on normal difficulty, it drops 3 SIVA key fragments. There are two fragments for the second kill of the week and only one for the third kill.
For the fourth kill and all subsequent kills, there are no fragments for this week.
It should behave exactly the same for heroic bosses.
What do you think of these changes? How do you think the silver dust economy should improve?
Note: Today, starting at 7 PM, the Iron Banner begins in November. In it, you can earn gear up to the maximum light level. Good luck, Guardians!

How drastic the graphic differences of the PS4 Pro (4K) compared to the original PS4 are, you can see in the video based on “Battlefield 1” scenes.
The new PS4 Pro is about to be officially released and many players wonder how significant the difference to the original PS4 is. The technical improvements of the PS4 Pro provide the console with more power, which is clearly shown in the in-game graphics. You can see what technology is in the new PS4 Pro in our “PS4 Pro or PS4 Slim overview. But now you should convince yourself of the graphical performance of the PS4 Pro.
PS4 Pro 4K vs PS4 1080P Gameplay
In the video from Arekkz Gaming you can see the differences between the two versions in in-game scenes from Battlefield 1. In the split-screen, you have the opportunity to directly compare the graphics. The developers of Battlefield 1 placed a lot of value on the visual details, which you can see in the following gameplay scenes. It is of course a pleasure to play on a console that can bring these details to light beautifully.

Character transfer in World of Warcraft soon for gold? Blizzard is working on it.
At BlizzCon, the developers of World of Warcraft held a rather long Q&A session, where fans on-site and via Twitter could ask questions to the team. One question also revolved around the WoW Token. Players have been able to buy a Token in the shop for real money for some time now, to then resell it in the auction house for in-game currency. The seller can thus legally earn in-game currency, while the buyer spends gold to extend their game time by one month.
A typical win-win-win situation, as the game token costs more than a one-month subscription, Blizzard benefits nicely from it too.
However, there are a multitude of other character services in the shop, such as a server transfer, faction change, appearance customization, race change, or character renaming. The question was whether it will be possible in the future to pay for these services with the WoW Token.
The surprising answer was “Yes,” even if that is not possible immediately and the exact details of it are still being worked out. However, the developers designed the system at the introduction of the WoW Token so that it can be “relatively easily” expanded to other services in the game.
There is still no concrete date for this possibility, and it is also not yet known whether this will apply to all character services. As soon as there are news on this topic, we will keep you updated.
Cortyn says: It’s actually a logical step to expand this system, benefiting players who do not have the means to pay real money for a server transfer to friends. It remains to be seen whether each service will get its own token or if it can be exchanged like a “token” for various services. It might also be necessary to introduce the “WoW Token” currency here, as many services cost differently. I just hope that there won’t be such a “token chaos” in the auction house as there was with SWTOR.

In Pokémon GO, you can now find more Pokémon and receive more Poké Balls at PokéStops for a few days.
As of today, the Update 0.45.0 for Pokémon GO is live and brings various changes to the game. Among other things, there are now daily bonuses that allow you to earn additional experience points and stardust. However, another event has been quickly activated, giving trainers in the game additional bonuses for a limited time.
Would you like some extra bonus with your bonus?
In an official post, the developers state that they are particularly excited about the daily bonuses that have made it into the game with the current patch. This feature is currently being released in various countries and will soon be available to trainers all over the world. The excitement over this feature is apparently so great that there are now additional bonuses for you, which are, however, time-limited. From November 7 to November 11, you will find more wild Pokémon and more items at PokéStops.
This means that if you visit PokéStops during this time and spin the badges, you will receive significantly more items as a reward. For example, you can expect many more Ultra Balls than before. Trainers who are already above level 20 will also receive significantly more Hyper Balls when they activate a PokéStop. For players who were still uncertain about restarting the game even during the big Halloween event, this might now be the decisive reason.
If you are not a fan of microtransactions and do not like spending money on a mobile game, then this is your chance to stock up on Poké Balls for free. As you can see in the screenshot, the yield is currently particularly high. So it definitely pays off to visit a few PokéStops if you still have space in your inventory. This event runs until Friday, November 11. Take advantage of it while it is active!
Is this bonus event a reason for you to invest more time in Pokémon GO?

At Blizzcon, Diablo 4 or a new expansion for Diablo 3 was not announced as many fans had hoped. However, this does not mean that these games are not in development at Blizzard.
Some time ago, it became known that Blizzard is looking for employees for a new project in the Diablo universe. MMORPG.com recently asked Blizzard’s Rob Foote in an interview if this job offer relates to the update “Darkness in Tristram”, which was announced at Blizzcon and represents a quasi-remake of Diablo 1 in Diablo 3.
What is Blizzard secretly cooking up?
But Rob Foote skillfully dodged the question. Blizzard is always working on new things, but generally, they do not talk about new hires. When asked about the planned second expansion for Diablo 3, Rob Foote also evaded and explained that apart from the Necromancer and “Darkness in Tristram”, there would be no further announcements regarding Diablo at this time.
The last expansion for Diablo 3, Reaper of Souls, was released more than two years ago. And a new expansion has not yet been announced. If Blizzard is indeed working on a second expansion for Diablo 3, it would still take a very long time before it is released. Does it still make sense to publish this? Perhaps the team is already working behind closed doors on a completely new game. Diablo 4 could be one possibility. However, there has also been speculation about a Diablo MMO for some time.
A Diablo 4 would likely be quite similar to Diablo 3, which is why Blizzard will probably wait quite a long time to release such a game. Why would the company replace a game that is doing very well with something very similar? A new Diablo would have to be different from what Diablo 3 offers. This might lean more toward the MMORPG direction. However, Blizzard also likely does not want to create competition for World of Warcraft. A Diablo MMO would also have to differ significantly from World of Warcraft.
What could Diablo 4 look like?
What could such a game look like? It is conceivable that the focus would be on a huge, open game world, in which only relatively few players act, rather than masses of players. This way, the studio could focus on making the players into “real” heroes. Scattered small groups of heroes in the world who are supposed to save the population. Gameplay could be from a third or first-person perspective. Dungeons could be randomly generated, or worlds could be randomly generated per server. The hunt for loot and battles against many monsters would still be at the forefront.
Crafting and PvP would also be possible. If there are only a few players in a large world, everyone would feel special. Time-limited quests would force players to make decisions that could even have visible effects for all players. If no one saves Tristram, it will be overrun by monsters and need to be rebuilt. But all of this is just speculation. Nothing has been officially announced. However, you can bet your soul on Diablo that Blizzard is secretly working on something new!
Every month, EA Sports selects some players from the Premier League who have shown outstanding performances in the recent past. The community then votes for their favorites. The winner receives a purple “FIFA 17 FUT” POTM card, which is a “Player of the Month” card in FUT 17. It has the following design:
The “Player of the Month” card has better attributes than the standard card of the respective player. Therefore, it is highly sought after by fans, as it can enhance many Ultimate Teams.
So far, the release of a fresh POTM card has always been accompanied by a new Squad-Building Challenge. If you meet various requirements, you can earn the special card as a reward.
Who will be the Player of the Month for October 2016?
In the still young history of FIFA 17, two Players of the Month have been crowned so far:
The Player of the Month for August was Raheem Sterling from Manchester City.
The Player of the Month for September was Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur.
The voting always takes place at the beginning of the following month. For example, Son was voted from October 4th to October 10th.
The winner of the “Player of the Month” election for October is not yet determined at this stage. The voting took place from November 4th to November 7th. The nominated players are:
Tom Heaton (Burnley)
Joe Allen (Stoke City)
N’Golo Kante (Chelsea)
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Ilkay Gündogan (Manchester City)
Diego Costa (Chelsea)
Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Once the player and the Squad-Building Challenge are finalized, we will report on it. You can find all the game news on our “FIFA 17” page.
By the way: Players of the Month always come from the Premier League. We are still waiting in vain for a “Player of the Month” from the Bundesliga in FIFA 17.

In the weekly update video at Paragon, an unknown character appears.
Since the start of the closed beta last March, the now open beta free-to-play MOBA Paragon has been updated with new content every Tuesday. While the last updates were overall a bit more compact and mainly included cosmetic improvements, this is not surprising, as developer Epic Games is working hard on the new arena “Monolith”.
However, the weekly update v.34 for today, November 8, not only brings new outfits for Dekker and Khaimera and a revision of the T3 Apocalypse Steel skins, but also adds support for the PS4 Pro. Those who purchase Sony’s new console on November 10 can look forward to additional vegetation, volumetric effects like fog, the well-known and popular God rays, a larger draw distance, surface reflections, and full 1080p resolution in Paragon.

But this time it’s not just something for the eyes; there’s also additional support for new players. To help them better understand whether they can safely step into the turret’s range or should expect to get hit, colored warning rings have been added.
This works like a traffic light. Green means safe, as the turret is currently busy with minions, while red means to stop. Ideally, stay outside the turret’s range, of course. And if it pulses red, you’ve made a mistake, as you’ve already been marked for elimination. This color indication switches off automatically when reaching level 6, and you’ll have to rely on your own instincts.
The Dekker Arctic Frost skin – a dream in blue
Additionally, for players who suddenly get knocked out during an ongoing match and didn’t notice which move just overwhelmed them, a death cam is available to directly analyze what took them down.
A leak – or not?
Just as there is an update every week, Epic Games also adheres to its self-imposed schedule and releases a new hero every three weeks. Normally, this is introduced on the preceding Thursday. However, the first hint of the upcoming character can already be found in the brief overview of update v.34.
There you can see an unknown face next to the recently added Countess in the draft lobby starting at second 5. Due to the alphabetical arrangement of heroes, as well as a list of unimplemented characters created by data miners, it can be assumed that this is “Crunch”.

If the uncovered details are correct, he is supposed to belong to the melee class and will be able to let his fists do the talking. However, he won’t just swing his two hefty arguments but will also be able to fire them.
Combining this information with a tweet from an “Epic Games” employee who has worked on fighting games like Street Fighter or Marvel vs. Capcom and says the upcoming Paragon character might be one of his favorites, the signs that this is Crunch become clearer.
Especially when you consider that the mentioned employee is Senior Marketing Manager Wes Phillips. This makes it clear that no one accidentally overlooked anything when compiling the weekly video. However, what the fighter ultimately has to offer in the arena ring and whether he can bring his opponents down will likely only be revealed on November 10.

Sombra from Overwatch without “Boop”? Fans can’t imagine that. Jeff Kaplan neither.
When the latest Overwatch hero Sombra was announced at BlizzCon 2016 last weekend, the crowd was ecstatic. With just 4 letters, Sombra had hacked directly into the hearts of all attendees: Boop!
But when players were finally able to try out the new hero at BlizzCon, the view into the hero gallery was filled with disappointment. While Sombra – like all other characters – has plenty of voicelines, the “Boop!” was not among them. It didn’t take long for the returnees from BlizzCon to hop onto the official forum to start a “petition”: Sombra needs a “Boop!” voiceline.
Boop!
Within a short time, the post garnered a fairly high number of approvals, which in turn elicited a response from Jeff Kaplan:
“We’re putting it in, it will replace one of her other lines. *Boop*”
Other forum users asked if there could not also be dances for the characters, as that would be more or less standard in many other games – especially in Blizzard. These dances could be legendary (and thus cost 1000 credits), but like the “Sit” emotes, they should last indefinitely until canceled. On this topic, Jeff Kaplan also provided a response, which while not explicitly confirming dances, makes it very likely:
“We are working on a large number of new emotes. I believe you will be satisfied. However, no timeframe.”
Whether “Boop” makes it directly into the Sombra patch or only in December (when the Symmetra rework is also pending), remains to be seen. The next PTR of Overwatch should go live today or tomorrow.
Cortyn says: No other exclamation describes Sombra’s personality as well as the charismatic “Boop” when she presses a button or a nose. Playful yet genius, ambitious but never entirely serious. It’s almost a riddle how one thought of bringing her into the game without this voiceline after this cinematic.

In Overwatch, the new hero Sombra has hacked into the test server, and we can finally try out the highly anticipated hacker heroine. We also see all her skins, emotes, victory poses, and highlights of the anarchist.
In Overwatch, we can play Sombra on the test server and test all her cool hacker skills. But that’s not all; like every hero in Blizzard’s shooter, Sombra also comes with more than one outfit, and we can look forward to a whole bunch of new skins.
Sombra’s New Outfits
As usual, Sombra has a number of “normal” skins that only differ in color from the standard look. There are also two completely alternative outfits with two color variants each. One of them features Sombra in the look of the “Los Muertos” gang, while the other is a stylish cyberpunk costume. In the following paragraphs, we will introduce you to all 10 skins for Sombra:
Classic
The basic look of Sombra. She wears her coat, leggings, and hacker gloves in purple and black. All Sombras start with these clothes.
Cidro
A color variant of the Classic look, dominated by bright green and yellow tones. True to its Spanish name, Sombra looks like a nasty lemon that hacks up our computers.
Incendio
“Incendio” is Spanish and can be translated as “Fire.” Therefore, this variant of the Classic skin is also dominated by red and yellow tones, giving Sombra a dangerously fiery appearance. Now we can watch the world burn in style!
Mar
“Mar” means “sea,” and with this Classic skin version, Sombra appears as a hacker rising from the sea, whose harmful code washes our enemies away like a wave. In keeping with the sea theme, turquoise and blue dominate.
Noche
The name of this skin means “night,” and this least colorful version of the standard skin comes in gray and black. A real change from the brightly colored rest of Sombra’s skins.
Glitch
This skin is a more elaborate version of Sombra’s standard look. The hacker wears poisonous green colors and a white coat. This gives her a nasty look.
Virus
This skin is a very cool variant of Sombra’s Classic option. The stylish coat of the hacker shines in bright magenta, and her pants are black with blue/purple accents. That has style!
Azúcar
“Azúcar” amusingly translates simply to “sugar,” and here we have our first truly alternative skin for Sombra. The hacker appears here as a gang girl from the “Los Muertos” gang, the street gang that Soldier: 76 takes down in his cinematic. Sombra sports the typical face and body paint in a bone-look and shows more skin than in other skins. Her clothes are in shades of green.
Los Muertos
In this skin, Sombra appears as a gang member of the “Los Muertos.” The outfit is the same as in “Azúcar,” but the body and face paintings reflect the typical neon colors of the gang. Sombra’s clothes are black with purple highlights.
Augmented
This skin is another completely new outfit for Sombra. This time, her typical coat is missing. Instead, she wears a kind of half-dress made of metal and appears heavily augmented with cyberware, which would fit the name of the skin. Sombra’s favorite colors, black and purple, dominate here. Additionally, Sombra has a long blonde braid next to her typical undercut.
Cyberspace
This skin is a variation of “Augmented” and instead uses the colors white, black, and blue.
Emotes and Highlights in the Video
In addition to Sombra’s skins, the wild hacker also brings a selection of cool emotes, highlights, victory poses, and spray logos. YouTuber TheHiddenBlade01 has summarized these in a video. You can also see the different skins there; the emotes and more start at minute 3:00. Enjoy watching!
https://youtu.be/Z3xGadmsHgk
What do you think of Sombra’s skins, emotes, and highlights? Do they meet your expectations of the style of the long-awaited hacker, or did you expect something completely different? And if you like the skins, which one is your highlight? Let us know in the comments!
In The Division, armor pieces with unique names arrive with update 1.5. We will take a look at the unique talents of these items.
Ubisoft’s MMO shooter The Division is slowly gaining momentum again. After months of revisions and the completion of update 1.4, the Survival DLC and update 1.5 are now on the horizon.
Update 1.5 will bring numerous changes. The preliminary patch notes have already been introduced. During the PTS phase, these new features can now be tested and adjusted by Massive. Among the major innovations are named gear items, which we will now take a closer look at.
Unique Talents of Named Gear Pieces
So far, there are only named weapons in The Division, which however do not have unique talents and are generally not very sought after. The named armor pieces are supposed to improve on this and be something special thanks to their unique capabilities.
For each gear slot, there is a named armor piece. These items are only available on World Tier 5 and in the Survival mode.
Mask: Ferro’s Oxygen Mask: Players can move and shoot while having the on-fire status effect.
Kneepads: Shortbow Championship Pads: Grenades explode faster, after 0.2 seconds.
Holster: Colonel Bliss’ Holster: Powerful enhancements for sidearms. If you hit a target in succession with a sidearm, weapon damage increases by 2% for 20 seconds. The effect is stackable up to 10 shots. Afterwards, an EMP effect is triggered.
Gloves: Skulls MC Gloves: Increased damage by 16% when no gear set bonuses are active.
Chest piece: Barrett’s Bulletproof vest: +10% skill strength when no skill is on cooldown. If a skill is on cooldown, damage increases by 5%. If two skills are on cooldown, armor increases by 10%.
Backpack: NinjaBike Messenger Bag: If you die in the Dark Zone, you lose less loot (1 piece less) and 20% less Dark Zone XP.
However, specific numbers for the bonuses are not yet provided. Additionally, you must consider that the effects may change over the coming weeks.
Shortly after the launch of the Aksis challenge, it could be set up to drop additional loot. The mechanics are described as “simple”. Let’s take a look at them.
How Aksis Works in Challenge Mode
Aksis consists of two encounters, with only the second encounter being decisive for the raid challenge. You can play the first encounter as usual. You can read about the mechanics in our “Wrath of the Machine” guide.
To master the Aksis challenge, only one requirement needs to be fulfilled in the second encounter:
During the DPS phases, a “Supercharge” must occur after each teleport.
The Supercharge mechanic is already in the game since the raid’s launch, but it is not strictly necessary for a successful completion, which is why many guardians are not familiar with it. Here’s a brief explanation:
The Servitors go to three platforms. These three platforms are crucial. One of these platforms is marked with red light after each Aksis teleport:
To activate Supercharge, an empowered guardian goes to the platform and presses the appropriate button. Of course, it must be one of the empowered guardians who does not have to stun Aksis at that moment.
The red glowing platform is always one of the two platforms to which Aksis does not teleport. Example: If he teleports to the center, the Supercharge platform is either to the left or right.
And here’s how the challenge goes step by step:
The start proceeds as always: The Shanks arrive, the Captains arrive, you kill the Captains, and three guardians from your fire team become empowered. They spread out left, middle, and right.
You grab the cannons, destroy the Servitors, and throw the bombs.
Now speed, communication, and good positioning are required: Throw the last bomb so that Aksis teleports. Quickly activate the Supercharge, before an empowered guardian attacks Aksis and stuns him. The message “Guardian Overload” appears at the bottom left of the screen. Now you stun Aksis and deal damage to him.
You do this after every teleport until Aksis is defeated.
The mechanics themselves are not so difficult. The challenge basically lies in positioning well and communicating with each other.
Note: As soon as you miss a Supercharge after a teleport, the challenge is lost. As soon as you miss a stun on Aksis, the challenge is lost.
By the way: The challenge can be attempted in both normal and heroic mode.
Here you can also see the whole thing in the video:

Blizzard is working on the lore of World of Warcraft. What is Khadgar’s first name? What about Medan?
At BlizzCon, there was a fairly long “Q&A” session about everything related to World of Warcraft. In addition to the obligatory appearance of the “Red Shirt Guy,” who asks a lore question every year (and usually makes the writers sweat), there were also a few other fans who wanted details about the story.
First a wild warrior, then the chosen mage: Med’an.
So the question arose about what had happened to Medan – we have already reported on him in a separate article. The young man was the only one able to unite the magic sources of Arcane, Shamanism, and Light and is considered the “special snowflake” of the Warcraft universe, meant to be the last Guardian. However, in WoW, he is just not present at all.
The developers talked a lot about Medan and his comic series and concluded that Medan does not belong to the MMORPG’s canon.
It’s an exciting story that could certainly take place in Warcraft, but it is not official canon of the game. This contradicts statements made a few years ago, suggesting that Medan could appear in the future – he seems to have been removed for now.
The “Red Shirt Guy” wanted to know what Azshara is actually up to, as some quests suggest she is cooperating with the Legion, which makes little sense since she also has a pact with the Old Gods (who are responsible for the Naga’s form). The somewhat evasive answer was that not all Naga serve one faction – thus not all Naga serve Queen Azshara. However, whose side the former elf queen really stands on will likely only be revealed in the future.
Important and without a past: “Archmage” Khadgar.
Finally, a fan wanted to know why there is so little lore about Khadgar. No one knows exactly where he comes from or what his last name is. The developers amusingly responded that “Archmage” is his first name, which earned many laughs. In the future, they plan to give this character more story and reveal more about him.
In Atlas Reactor, Trion’s colorful, turn-based action game, we can collect points for our favorite corporation in the so-called “Trust War”. Depending on who wins in the end, the story of the game takes a different direction.
In Atlas Reactor, the “Trust War” has broken out. The Trusts refer to the three major corporations that dominate the world of Atlas Reactor. The fragile balance of power has recently been disrupted, and now the corporations “Omni”, “Warbotics”, and “Evos” are fighting for power and influence.
The coolest part: our cyberpunk heroes are right in the thick of it, working as so-called Freelancers for this Trust and that Trust. Each player can choose a corporation during a repeatable quest and carry its emblem in missions. Once we have achieved a certain number of victories, we receive special rewards and can redo the quest, happily for a different company.
For my corporation!
The twist: every victory is credited to the respective Trust’s account during the ongoing season, and at the end of the season, there are hefty rewards for all players, regardless of whether they have significantly supported the winning corporation or not. The type of loot, of course, depends on the corporation and varies. However, those who particularly loyally support a company receive elaborate skins in the corporation’s style from their Trust loot boxes. The better the respective Trust is ranked, the more hero skins we can unlock in total.
The corporate war does not go unnoticed in the world of Atlas Reactor. Rather, the winner of the Trust War will play a prominent role in the game in the future, and the story will continue to evolve based on that.
Jürgen says: Atlas Reactor is one of my absolute insider tips, especially because the game tells a very lively and original story over its seasons. The fact that I can significantly shape this story as a Freelancer by supporting the corporations accordingly and thereby establishing entirely new narrative threads is particularly cool. I am definitely curious to see which Trust ultimately prevails. Warbotics FTW!

For Overwatch, the new heroine Sombra and Patch 1.5 were recently announced. Now we can play the new heroine and the patch features ourselves, as Blizzard has started an extensive testing phase on the public test server.
Sombra hacked herself into the spotlight at BlizzCon 2016, and after the beautiful cinematic, almost every Overwatch fan – especially Cortyn – wants to play the anarcho-hacker! However, it will likely take some time until Sombra is officially available on the servers of Blizzard’s hero shooter.
But Sombra has already appeared on the public test server of Overwatch, and anyone who downloads the test client can try out the quirky villain at their leisure. This way, you can satisfy your Sombra hunger and make sure that the new heroine will not turn out to be too overpowered or too weak.
Patch 1.5 brings fast arcade action
In addition to Sombra, the complete Patch 1.5 is coming to the servers. This includes the so-called “Arcade Mode”. Here we can expect fast, uncomplicated battles, such as the duel mode. In this mode, two players fight against each other with randomly selected heroes on the new map “Ecopoint Antarctica”.
The update also offers 3vs3 battles and other game modes where we cannot directly influence the hero selection. You can find the complete patch notes for Patch 1.5 and Sombra herself under the source reference. However, please note that this is test server data. Depending on what issues you notice while testing, a lot can still change before release. You can simply install the test client by clicking on Overwatch in the Battlenet client, selecting “PTR: Overwatch” at the top under “Region/Account”, and then clicking “Install”.

The crazy Tron bike is now available in GTA 5 Online. To ride it, you first need to unlock it.
The current GTA 5 Online DLC “Bikers” has added a cool motorcycle in Tron style. In the Bikers DLC, you can become the leader of a motorcycle club and start cool activities. You can also earn a lot of money in GTA 5 Online by trading illegal goods. With the money you earn, you can buy various vehicles released as part of this DLC. This includes not only the loud Rat Rod but also a fresh motorcycle in a futuristic style.
Nagasaki Shotaro Price – The Tron motorcycle in GTA 5 Online
This bike looks like it came from another planet. If you want to stand out on the streets of Los Santos as an MC, then the Nagasaki Shotaro is the perfect choice for you. However, you will need to dig deep into your pockets, as the bike costs over 2 million GTA$. As mentioned before, you can probably afford it without problems with your illegal deals. If you’re short on the necessary “pocket change” for this motorcycle or other content from GTA 5 Online, you can also earn several million dollars as a CEO.
The motorcycle is available to you at Legendary Motorsport after you have unlocked it. If you have enough money, you should definitely consider acquiring this gem. While the price isn’t exactly “cheap,” you get a lot visually with the Nagasaki Shotaro. For fans of the Tron movies, this bike is an absolute Must Have!
Deadline game mode in GTA 5 Online: Unlock the Tron bike
If you’ve checked the shop at Legendary Motorsport and couldn’t find the motorcycle, it’s because you still need to unlock it. However, it’s not as hard as it sounds. You just need to play the new adversary mode, which you can start directly from the main menu of GTA 5 Online. Just select the adversary mode “Deadline” to enter the queue for this game mode. Currently, you even get double RP and GTA$ for this.
In Deadline, 4 players compete on a map. Each rides a Nagasaki Shotaro and can activate a deadly beam that trails behind them as a road. If your motorcycle touches one of these beams, you lose one of your 2 lives. You also may not ride over your own beam, as that destroys your motorcycle and takes away a life. Once you complete this mode (regardless of your position), the Shotaro will unlock at Legendary Motorsport. You can then buy it as usual via your phone through the corresponding website.

Is the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV facing competition from within? Square Enix announced a mobile MMO for Final Fantasy XV in collaboration with developer MZ.
Final Fantasy XV is set to release on November 29 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but it is a single-player RPG. However, Square Enix intends to further expand the brand and game world, which is why they are working with developer MZ on a mobile MMO.
Another Final Fantasy MMO?
MZ is known for mobile strategy games such as Mobile Strike and Game of War: Fire Age. Final Fantasy XV is an RPG. Will the mobile game be an MMORPG or rather a strategy-RPG mix? What is certain is that the new game will draw on the characters and story of Final Fantasy XV and will also use music pieces from the RPG. However, the mobile game is said to be based on MZ’s technology and will allow millions of players worldwide to interact in a single game world.
Strategy or RPG?
The story of Final Fantasy XV revolves around a war between two rival nations. It is quite conceivable that this could be implemented in a strategy MMO. Players would then choose between the two factions, expand their territories, raise armies, and meet in tactical battles. However, this is not yet certain.
Both parties are excited about the partnership. MZ is looking forward to creating a new game with the Final Fantasy brand, and Square Enix believes that it can expand the brand through a mobile game from the successful developer studio. When new information about the Final Fantasy XV mobile MMO can be expected is still unclear. Square Enix is currently focusing on the release of the RPG on November 29.

The results of this year’s BlizzCon disappointed many Diablo fans. How could Diablo 3 be improved?
The hopes for this year’s BlizzCon were high. Especially Diablo fans expected a big announcement, as this year marks the 20th anniversary of Blizzard’s hack-and-slash game. A Twitter message from the official Diablo account gave fans even more hope. But with the announcements of this BlizzCon, the players were probably not prepared. Disappointment is spreading on the internet. What did Blizzard do wrong?
Fans wanted Diablo 4
There were many theories about what announcements Blizzard might surprise us with this year. Some players speculated about a completely new game. Not an expansion and not a simple update. No, it was supposed to be a brand new Diablo 4. This wish could often be seen in various social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and others. Just before this year’s BlizzCon, a “leak” circulated and caused excitement among some fans. A picture in the shop clearly showed the Necromancer. It was unclear whether this leak would come true and how the new class would be integrated into the game.
The second announcement was the new Necromancer class, which can be played by purchasing a DLC. This DLC is called “The Rise of the Necromancer,” unlocking additional loot spots, character slots, and cosmetic items alongside the Necromancer. Those were the two major announcements for Diablo 3 during BlizzCon.
This caused pure disappointment among some fans. Of course, a new class is a positive thing and will probably bring some excitement back to Diablo 3, but in the end, it is a Necromancer and not a fun summoner. This class will not change much about the problems that are increasingly being mentioned on Reddit and other platforms. “The Paragon system needs a revamp,” “Seasons are always the same and get boring too quickly,” “You only get excited about a few items you find in the game.” The new Challenge Rifts and the armory in Diablo 3 simplify the constant changing of equipment, but are not “The big change” that many fans had hoped for.
Can Diablo 3 be improved or does it need Diablo 4?
With a paid DLC, the journey continues in Diablo 3. There are new contents for a sum X, which will initially create some fresh air. Nevertheless, you are still playing the same game. Of course, this can work if you consider some (not all) content patches in World of Warcraft. Economic sense might also justify starting such a model. But how long can this last before one should put a pin in Diablo 3 and open the chapter “Diablo 4”?
What is your opinion on the current state of Diablo 3? Is Blizzard taking steps in the right direction or are they moving away from the goal with these changes?
Here you can find the latest information on the Necromancer in Diablo 3:
There is quite a lot going on today in the MMO shooter Destiny. You can find out everything that awaits you today and which activities are already live in our “Weekly Reset” article.
This includes a hotfix marked 2.4.1.1. It will appear in the early evening for PS4 and Xbox One. Here are the times:
At 6:30 PM the hotfix will be applied. Return to the login screen. If you fly to the orbit, the hotfix download will start.
At 7 PM the Iron Banner in November will start. There should be enough time to have downloaded and installed the hotfix by then.
At 11 PM all guardians who have not yet installed the hotfix will be removed from their activities and taken back to the login screen to download the update.
What does the hotfix change?
Bungie states that the patch notes will only be released at the update’s launch. However, some information is already known:
There will be “Quality of Life” improvements, which are small changes that improve the player experience.
A crucible map fix is coming
and more.
The community manager Cozmo already provided more detailed information. He revealed that this hotfix would also bring the changes to Silver Dust that he announced a few weeks ago. We have already reported on this and will now quote ourselves:
The patch will change the Silver Dust economy to enhance the player experience. Bungie wants players who conquer the toughest challenges in “Rise of Iron” to be rewarded for their success. Therefore, you will no longer need Silver Dust to equip the ornaments from the Trials, from “Wrath of the Machine,” and from the “Iron Lord” armor. However, you still need the currency for exotic weapon ornaments.
Furthermore, the Dusty Iron Engrams will be adjusted concerning this: If you dismantle the gear you find in them, you currently receive Legendary Marks. After the patch, you should receive Silver Dust for that.
In winter, larger changes to the Silver Dust economy are expected to improve the player experience further.
