Soon, the smaller patch 7.1.5 for WoW: Legion will be released. And it has more to offer than one might initially think!
With the current expansion “Legion”, Blizzard is following a pretty tight release schedule regarding new content patches. As Ion Hazzikostas revealed on stage at BlizzCon, in the past there were usually very large “mega-patches” that contained a lot of content. If there are about 4 new features, but one of them is not quite ready, then the patch gets delayed.
This is what they want to fix now with small “interim patches”, so that completed features can reach players earlier while the other aspects receive their final polish.
For this reason, there is already the PTR for patch 7.1.5 right after BlizzCon, which is supposed to include the following innovations:
Timewalking for all “Mists of Pandaria” dungeons
The brawler’s guild returns with new bosses and rewards
Secondary stats (crit, mastery, haste, etc.) will be revamped to be more equal
Talent revisions for some classes that essentially have “no choice” in talents
Also new is the introduction of “Micro-Holidays”, small holidays in World of Warcraft. These mini-events do not provide significant achievements or rewards, but are simply holidays celebrated by the inhabitants of Azeroth and are meant to bring new, short-term activities that offer no particular “seriousness” or “progress”. The following days are planned:
Voluntary Watch Day: Take on the role of a city guard and protect Stormwind or Orgrimmar from enemies so that the guard can take a break.
Ahn’Qiraj Remembrance Day: In memory of the efforts to open Ahn’Qiraj, players can gather in Silithus and donate resources again. Whichever faction collects the most resources will have their faction banners flying over Ahn’Qiraj for the rest of the year.
Boat Day: Grab a boat and explore the waters of Azeroth! What a great invention!
The PlayStation VR can be ordered again on Amazon. The second delivery will be available shortly before the release of the PS4 Pro.
In mid-October, the PlayStation VR was released. However, many gamers were unable to dive directly into virtual worlds, as the initial stock was simply insufficient. The PSVR was sold out for a long time, and in some shops, it was not even possible to preorder the VR headset from Sony.
If you didn’t order the device weeks in advance, you had to wait. Only a few retailers still had the PlayStation VR in stock for lucky customers. However, a second wave of deliveries is apparently reaching the retailers.
Order PlayStation VR on Amazon
The shipping giant Amazon is taking orders again and promises: The PlayStation VR is available from November 8. With the note: “Order now.”
This timing for a new delivery of VR headsets is definitely not bad: Because shortly thereafter, on November 10, the PS4 Pro will be released. This powerful console is expected to enhance the VR experience and will thus be interesting for any owner of a PSVR.
However, how long the PlayStation VR will remain available is still uncertain. The demand and interest from players are still enormous. If you want to get your hands on this VR headset soon, you should probably act quickly.
Below is a link directly to Amazon, where you can find the offer:
Are you taking advantage of this offer? Or are you still waiting a bit? Or do you already own the PlayStation VR and are already exploring new gaming worlds?

Overwatch will soon distribute free loot boxes when players try out the new game modes.
Although the highlight of Overwatch at BlizzCon was definitely the announcement of Sombra, the developers had plenty of other innovations up their sleeves. For example, there will be a completely new menu item in Overwatch, under which the “Arcade” can be accessed. Here, different modes can be found, such as 1vs1, 3vs3, the old brawl modes, or “Mystery Heroes”. To provide players with additional incentives to regularly check out the Arcade, there is a special reward system.
Every week, 3 free loot boxes can be earned in the Arcade! For each loot box, 3 matches must be won in any Arcade mode to claim the free box. It does not matter which mode is played – players can spend the entire day having duels in 1vs1 or face the pure madness in Brawl.
At a fixed time each week, the progress “resets” and players can complete another 9 matches in the Arcade to snag up to 3 loot boxes again – in addition to the experience points that the games otherwise yield.
Moreover, there is always a free loot box when Blizzard implements a new game mode in the Arcade. So the first victory in “1vs1” or “3vs3” also grants a loot box.
Cortyn says: I really like these changes because most players have spent a maximum of one or two rounds in the weekly “Brawl” before realizing that the mode either isn’t fun or provides so few experience points that it’s not worth it compared to quick play. And… free loot boxes are always a good incentive, right?
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is here and many players are diving into multiplayer mode. While the single-player offers interesting features and special difficulties like the YOLO mode, in multiplayer you can face “real” opponents. Here we show you 10 tips for the multiplayer mode in CoD Infinite Warfare that can improve your game.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare – 10 Beginner Tips
Movement is especially important in CoD Infinite Warfare because it allows you to dodge enemy fire or quickly take cover. It is important to master wall-running, sliding, and thrust jumps. This makes you harder to hit and increases your survival chances. Take some time at the beginning to extensively test the different maneuvers. Once you can perform them without issues in fast-paced battles, you often have an advantage.
Keep an eye on the map! The small radar field is often forgotten by many players, even though it is particularly important in multiplayer. Here you can see not only the positions of your allies but also the positions of uncovered enemies.
Combat Rigs: The class system of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare works with combat rigs. By selecting a combat rig, you choose a class to play with. These classes include special weapons and abilities. An explanation of the different rigs can be found in our Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Combat Rigs overview.
Try other combat rigs too: Once you have found a combat rig that you can handle well, you quickly lose the urge to try out the other options. Nevertheless, you should also give the other combat rigs a chance and play a few rounds with them. Even if the rigs do not match your playstyle, it is important to understand their functions. This way, you can better assess your opponents’ combat rigs and have options to counter them effectively.
Use “Keys” in the right mode. When you play the different multiplayer modes of CoD, you collect an in-game currency called “Keys”. With this, you can buy supply drops that contain 3 random items, such as prototype weapons, for you. The supply drops can be purchased in multiplayer and zombie mode. If you do not want items for zombie mode, then get the supply drop in multiplayer mode. The items in the supply drop depend on the current game mode.
Mission Teams: New in Infinite Warfare are the mission teams. You can join these teams to receive special tasks from them. If you complete these tasks, you will get perks, combat rig colors, and prototype weapons that vary depending on the mission team. These rewards are worth the mission team goals having a high priority and you should always try to fulfill them.
You can throw your grenades while shooting. This function is new and effective in CoD Infinite Warfare. While you throw grenades with your left arm, you can continue to use your main weapon with your right arm. Use this function regularly.
Invest in prototype weapons! Prototype weapons are particularly powerful, so you should pay them a lot of attention. They come in different rarity levels: Normal, Rare, Legendary, and Epic. You get them by crafting them using in-game currency salvage, when you open supply drops, or when you level up with your faction.
As a defender, pay attention to the clock! If you are playing the defender mode, you should definitely keep an eye on the clock. This will help you to better plan your next move. If the timer is nearly up and the opponent with the ball is far away, it may be worth going to the spawn point of the ball instead of continuing the chase of the opponent.
Hide with the ball. It is no shame to hide with the ball in defender mode. Sometimes it is the safest method to find a quiet place with the ball and let the time run out. If you cannot find a “safe” spot, then stay close to your allies and move away from the enemy team together with them.

Patch 7.2 brings new skins for all artifact weapons in World of Warcraft. We will show you what they look like.
Although there weren’t any truly major (or unexpected) announcements at BlizzCon, the developers of World of Warcraft have really put in the effort to present a whole range of new features coming to fans of World of Warcraft in the coming months.
The big question is: How will players be able to obtain these new artifact weapon skins? Here, Ion Hazzikostas already had an answer: A class-specific challenge. They have taken their inspiration from the (very old) quests for the Blessing/Curse or the epic Hunter Bow and Staff in Classic. Each character must complete a special, class-specific quest solo to unlock the new skin.
Some of these artifact weapon designs have already been seen in the past, for example at GamesCom. With Patch 7.2, they can finally be obtained.
Cortyn says: Since a good portion of these skins were known in advance, and it was previously assumed that they were simply “cut” from the finished game, it is not surprising that they are now being added. However, I like the idea of a personal class challenge that must be completed to obtain the new skins. I can only hope that these tasks are actually as challenging as the Hunter or Priest questlines used to be. Since this is the benchmark that Blizzard has set for itself, I am initially optimistic.
Particularly interesting is the new design of the Guardian Druid. I am quite curious how this artifact weapon design fits into the lore of the game world and what kind of “type” of Druid it is supposed to be.
In the MMO shooter Destiny a new Easter egg has been discovered: Oryx is making an appearance again!
Currently, the Festival of the Lost is still running. It has been active for nearly two weeks and ends on 11/8. However, it was only recently that Guardians discovered a “hidden event,” an Easter egg that can be observed during the festival. At least it has only just become known on Reddit and YouTube.
The Easter egg involves the Taken King: Oryx. The father of Crota, whom we have defeated countless times in the King’s Fall raid, occasionally appears in the Reef. Or rather, his shadow.
You can observe this spectacle in the following gif file:

We have personally verified this shadow play and can confirm: Yes, it is reproducible. Just wait precisely at the spot where you land in the Vestian Outpost, right in front of the Reef’s Eververse and between Petra Venj and the loot overseer.
After about 2-3 minutes, shadows unmistakably formed into the head of Oryx for us. We also looked around wildly to see what items these shadows were throwing, but we couldn’t spot anything.
If you’re not happy with the gif above, we have the whole thing in video format as well:

With Patch 7.2, there are new mounts in WoW: Legion – each class gets a mount. Check them out here!
On the very first day of BlizzCon, Blizzard released a wealth of information and extensively explained what players can expect from Content Patch 7.2 in World of Warcraft. One of the highlights – at least there was excited murmuring in the crowd – were the class-specific mounts that are supposed to come with the next big update.
How exactly these mounts will be unlocked is still unknown. Since they do not appear in the overview for the “Pathfinder” achievement of Legion, it is suspected that the mounts will be obtained through the continued Order Hall campaign. However, it is also possible that they are waiting at the very end of the questline for the artifact weapons – as this will also continue with Patch 7.2.
Furthermore, it is also important to note that all these mounts are capable of flying. While this is not clear from all screenshots, Ion Hazzikostas immediately confirmed that each of the shown animals can also ascend into the air.
Cortyn says: To be honest, I think it’s pretty cool that now each class gets its own mount that others do not have access to. I especially like the Mage, Priest, and Rogue mounts – exactly the classes I play more or less actively. Sometimes you just have to be lucky in life. Only the Paladin seems a bit “bad” in this regard, but that’s of course a matter of personal taste. But what do you think about the class-specific mounts? Cool thing or do you feel disappointed?

Overwatch features new game modes. Smaller groups of 3vs3 and even duels are also possible.
Although the big highlight of BlizzCon – at least regarding Overwatch – was the announcement of Sombra along with her impressive cinematic, the developers had more details in store. They revealed that in the near future there will be plenty of new game modes, which will be grouped under the term “Arcade”.
In the main menu, there will be a completely new category, the “Arcade” mode. Here you can find different modes that you can access. Among them is also a “1vs1 Mystery Duel” mode, where both players are assigned the same hero and then duel. With a grin, Kaplan said on stage: “This mode is also for all the players who complain that their whole team plays poorly and only they themselves are good. Here you can prove it.”
Also new is the “3vs3” mode, which basically works like a team deathmatch, but no heroes are predetermined – there is free choice.
Lastly, the most popular “Brawl” game modes are returning in a rotation mode. After each match, a different, random Brawl mode will be drawn, so each round is “fresh and new”.
Furthermore, the next patch on the PTR will also have a change to the game’s “Quickplay” mode. From now on, a limit will be introduced, so there can only be one of the same hero per team. Anyone who still wants to “stack” heroes can do so in the new Arcade mode “No Limits”, where these restrictions do not apply.
Cortyn says: The announcement of the limitation in Quickplay seems to have divided the community and fans on site. Personally, I find it unfortunate that Quickplay will now have the same conditions as Ranked – I have no reason to spend time in Quickplay anymore. I also can’t imagine that the “No Limits” mode will be particularly popular, as it is just one of many Arcade modes. But I don’t want to paint the devil on the wall directly – perhaps the final result won’t be that bad.
The BlizzCon revealed what is coming in WoW: Legion with Patch 7.2. The short answer: A lot.
Basically, no one was expecting major announcements for World of Warcraft at BlizzCon. After all, Legion has only been on the market for a few months and the hunger for fresh content is still satisfied thanks to 7.1 “Return to Karazhan”. But Blizzard is really ramping things up and is already showing its hand about what they have planned for Patch 7.2.
To summarize in one sentence: Patch 7.2 brings endless content.
Patch 7.2 takes players back to the Broken Shore and introduces the new faction “Armies of Legionfall”, which is working to breach the Tomb of Sargeras – the new raid from Patch 7.2. Here, numerous bosses must be defeated, including demons, naga, the Avatar of Sargeras (an ancient husk of the dark titan), as well as Kil’jaeden, the commander of the Burning Legion.
But that is by no means all. The patch is accompanied by a new 5-player dungeon, set in the “upper section” of the tomb, and will feature 4 bosses.
Flying and class-specific mounts in Patch 7.2
Blizzard actually intended to take more time before allowing players to fly on the Broken Isles, but with Patch 7.2, this dream will come true. The second (and last) part of the necessary achievement will then be added to the game, requiring a bit of reputation and corresponding progress in the new quests. But what would flying be without a cool mount? Each class will get an exclusive flying mount in 7.2.
But that doesn’t end the content! The class campaigns will continue, and all artifact weapons will receive new traits that can be unlocked. Oh – and each weapon will also get a new appearance. Especially guardian druids can look forward to a new form:
Here are a few “details” that are also expected to come with Patch 7.2:
Artifact relics that improve up to 2 traits simultaneously
New “challenges” for “Mythic+” dungeons
Karazhan as a Mythic+/Hero dungeon (in 2 parts)
changing PvP brawls with special rules
fast artifact knowledge for alts, purchasable directly through order resources
Lastly, the difficulty of all “Heroic” and “Mythic” dungeons will be increased to match the new gear standard of players. This way, content that is currently too easy will become more challenging again.
The abilities of Sombra are well-known. We reveal to you what the new Overwatch heroine can do.
After Sombra was introduced at BlizzCon, the developers went into a bit more detail about what abilities the newest heroine has. We have summarized her skill set for you:
Her weapon is the submachine gun, which deals solid damage at close and medium range. It has a large magazine, allowing it to be fired constantly for several seconds.
Her ability Hack is a channeled ability that disables various things when the ability is fully channeled. – Hacked players lose access to all their abilities for a few seconds. – Hacked health packs respawn faster and can only be picked up by teammates – the hack lasts very long here. – Hacked turrets by Torbjörn are stunned for a few seconds.
Sombra’s Thermoptic Camo makes her completely invisible for a few seconds – there is no “glimmer” from her. Teammates can still see her. Once she deals or receives damage, she becomes visible again.
The Translocator can be thrown like a grenade and sticks to the first surface it touches. For 15 seconds, Sombra can reactivate the ability to teleport directly to the Translocator.
Her ultimate ability EMP hacks all enemies in a large area around Sombra. For 6 seconds, they cannot use abilities and lose all shield energy (such as from Zenyatta, Symmetra, or Zarya). Yes, this also negates Lucio’s Sound Barrier.
As a passive attribute, Sombra has Opportunist. She can see all enemies near her through walls as long as they have less than 50% of their health points.
Additionally, Blizzard released a new video that reveals Sombra’s backstory – at least what she wants us to know.

Diablo 3 Necromancer, the Necromancer in Gameplay Video
You can acquire the new class in Diablo 3 through a Necromancer Pack. The package is called “The Rise of the Necromancer” and will be available in 2017. There is currently no further information on the price. In addition to the Necromancer class, there are additional loot slots and character slots that you can fill with a Necromancer, for example. There are also other cosmetic items in this character pack. In the video, you can see what to expect from the Rise of the Necromancer Pack and a small preview of the Necromancer’s skills.

The BlizzCon promises two new heroes in HotS – the Firelord Ragnaros and the fallen human king Varian Wrynn.
At BlizzCon 2016, Blizzard made several major announcements for each of its games, and Heroes of the Storm is no exception. After Alarak and Zarya recently entered the battlefield, it was time for more characters. As Blizzard particularly enjoys honoring characters that have “departed” from their actual games, this time they took a look at World of Warcraft. Especially with the “Legion” expansion, many characters have met their end, making it time for some invitations to the Nexus.
The first newcomer is Varian Wrynn, the former king of Stormwind and High King of the Alliance. After he fell at the Broken Shore fighting Gul’dan, he finds himself in the Nexus – where he can once again fight for all those who matter to him. The unique aspect of him as a character: He can fulfill multiple roles based on his talent choices! The player can decide during the match whether he wants to be an aggressive assassin or a defensive warrior.

The second newcomer is none other than the Firelord Ragnaros. After being defeated first in the Molten Core and eventually in the Firelands, the Firelord has now also arrived in the Nexus. Depending on his specialization, Ragnaros can take over entire fortresses and even become a massive “raid boss” to eliminate all the “bugs”. May the fire purify you!
Over the course of the weekend, we will surely have more details about the two new heroes.
During Blizzcon 2016, the Diablo remake was officially confirmed. Here you can find more info about the remake.
Now it is official: The original Diablo 1 is being recreated in Diablo 3. This includes not only music and graphics but also all the main bosses that you know from the original Diablo game. Even Big Red awaits you at the end of the special dungeon, which makes you feel the nostalgia of Diablo 1 on multiple levels. Special features ensure that the recreated Diablo feels almost like the original game.
Music, Graphics, Movement Limitations in the Diablo Remake
The Diablo anniversary was a good reason for the developers to create something very special. With the patch “The Darkening of Tristram”, you will be sent back to the depths of the cathedral. The dungeon has a total of 16 levels and also includes the main bosses from the original up to Big Red at the end of the dungeon. Your adventures will be accompanied by the music that has accompanied you many years ago in Diablo. Special graphic filters are also responsible for the retro pixel look, providing an improved nostalgic feeling.
The developers have also come up with something for the controls. In earlier Diablo times, the current 360° control did not exist yet. Therefore, in the Diablo remake, you will only be able to move in 8 different directions, just like before. If you want to play the remake, you can do so with all your characters. The patch for the Diablo remake will be available on the PTR servers starting next week. As soon as there is an exact date for the patch on the live servers, you will find out from us.
The Goblin is out of the wallet – the next Hearthstone add-on is called “The Streets of Gadgetzan”.
During the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2016, the next expansion of Hearthstone was introduced. The new card expansion is “The Streets of Gadgetzan”, as previously hinted at by various issues of the “Gadgetzan Gazette”.
However, the expansion revolves completely around the “backstreets” of Gadgetzan, where crime is on the rise. Three rival gangs vie for dominance and amass wealth through gun smuggling, strange potions, and assassinations. The whole thing is, of course, paired with plenty of Hearthstone humor, putting fun and entertainment in the foreground – unlike in “Whispers of the Old Gods”.
The new trailer reveals what kind of mood the new expansion is supposed to convey.

One of the biggest features is the new “Tri-Class Cards”. These are cards that can be used by 3 classes. There is a new set of cards that can only be used by Priests, Mages, and Warlocks. The special twist: these cards can cause you to suddenly have cards from other classes in your hand!
A new Harpy card has a Battlecry that reads “Discover a Mage, Priest, or Warlock card”. Those who have always wanted to try how a Mage plays with “Mind Control” or a Warlock with Fireballs will have their big moment in the upcoming add-on.
The Streets of Gadgetzan is set to be released in December. If you want, you can already pre-order 50 card packs from Gadgetzan now.
Sombra is finally here. The new Overwatch hero has directly received a cinematic.
For many, many months, fans have speculated and followed the ARG to extract every piece of information from Sombra to find out when the newest Overwatch hero would come into the game. Many players suspected that Sombra would sneak onto the BlizzCon stage and introduce herself. And it happened as it had to: Blizzard wanted to show a recap video during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2016 that summarizes the launch of Overwatch.
But then there were small audio glitches and eventually a complete failure of the video. However, this was not a technical defect, but Sombra simply hacking into BlizzCon to present her story-driven trailer titled “Infiltration“.

According to the trailer, Sombra was long in cahoots with Widowmaker and Reaper to cause some chaos – but then dedicated herself to her own goals.
What abilities she has will likely be revealed in the next few hours. If the trailer is to be believed, she can hack and manipulate various objects (or players?). In addition, she has her SMG as a firearm and a personal teleporter that she can place when needed to escape from tight situations.
Cortyn says: Right after the trailer, it was already clear to me that I would have a new favorite character. The problem: Many players will feel the same way. Sombra’s personality seems really cool, and the trailer showcased her so wonderfully that she will probably be a typical “instant pick” after her release. I guess I’ll have no choice but to wait until she becomes “boring” again.
On the evening of 4th November, there are issues in the Ultimate Team of FIFA 17. The matchmaking, the player search, is not working.
For those who have planned to play FUT 17 online this evening, there is currently a problem: The matchmaking is not working. On all platforms, including PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the message appears:
“Joining a match is temporarily disabled. Sorry, this should be available again shortly. Please try again later.”
EA Sports already spoke up shortly after 7 PM. The player search has been intentionally disabled. They are planning an “emergency maintenance work.” Further information will follow shortly.
Update: It is working again.
However, the exact problem is not mentioned. It seems that the online modes in FUT 17 will not be available again anytime soon. When the maintenance work starts and how long it lasts is still unknown.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The BlizzCon 2016 starts in just a few moments and we will surely be overwhelmed with a wealth of information.
This article will be continuously updated over the weekend with links to various topics and games. Those who want to keep an overview of BlizzCon 2016 can simply bookmark this article and stay up to date when new information is published.
Overwatch
Fans are expecting at least one new hero (Sombra) and the introduction of a new map for Overwatch, which has been in development for several months now.
Players of WoW have just received their Patch 7.1 in the live version, but they have no idea what’s coming next. Although the cinematic of the Nighthold has already been extracted from the game data, we will find out where exactly Illidan is leading us in the coming hours – hopefully.
There have been particularly many rumors around Diablo 3 as it is currently celebrating its 20th birthday. Some fans hope for a remake of the old games, while others hope for another expansion. Initial hints pointed to the new class of the Necromancer, which could soon come to the game.
In Destiny, the Trials of Osiris are starting this evening, on November 4th. Which map will be played?
The Trials from last week provided plenty of discussion: These were the first Trials during the Festival of the Lost 2016 and brought some creepy surprises. The radar was disabled, and team members could not be revived. Some Guardians found this change quite nice, while others were not satisfied with the changes or map selection at all.
Since the Trials of Osiris starting today also take place during the Festival, similar or exactly the same features are to be expected. We will update this article as soon as there is new information. Update: Users report: Yes, again no radar and no revives.
The following emblem can be exclusively claimed in the Trials during the Festival:
The Trials start today at 6 PM. They will end with the Weekly Reset next week. This time, the map The Anomaly will be played.
What are the Trials of Osiris?
In the Trials, you engage in PvP combat in the “Elimination” mode. You compete in teams of three and try to fill your points card with victories. When the opposing team is completely defeated, you win a round. Fallen teammates can be revived. Here, not only strong gear matters, but also communication among the Guardians. A good knowledge of the map is advantageous.
With 5 and 7 wins, there are random rewards from Osiris’ inventory. Additionally, keep an eye on Brother Vance’s bounties for extra rewards. If you’re in top form, you can reach Mercury with a “Flawless” ticket and loot the chest with the beautiful gear.
The long-awaited AAA MMO Lineage Eternal from NCSoft is about to enter Closed Beta. However, it will initially only be in the distant land of South Korea. But we can already watch the cool teaser here.
For a long time, there was silence around NCSoft’s major project Lineage Eternal. But now a date for the Closed Beta is known. It will start on November 10, 2016, and selected players will be able to try out the new game. Provided you live in South Korea, as the beta will only take place there for now.
No Beta in the West
Unfortunately, a West date for the beta or even the release version of Lineage Eternal is not known. However, we can already enjoy the snazzy cinematic teaser of the beta here. In it, a grim Death Knight smashes everything that does not flee quickly. Perhaps the teaser is even a preview of an even fatter trailer that we will see on November 10. We have also embedded the video here for you.
Jürgen says: Lineage Eternal is considered one of NCSoft’s great hopes and has been in development since 2011. It’s about time that the game gets moving! It’s just a shame that we in the West won’t hear anything for now, but I still hope for soon information about a West release or at least solid gameplay information from the beta. I am particularly interested in tangible experiences regarding the interplay between mobile devices and PC.
