In Blade and Soul the next update is coming, and this time we are brawling in PvP in honor of the great flying white whale. New items are also added for even more brawling power!
As every month, a new update for Blade & Soul will be on the servers in October, and this time it’s about a big celebration. And no, this time it is NOT a Halloween event! The former Celtic ghost festival would not fit well with the Asian setting of the brawler MMO. Rather, we celebrate the great white whale in NCSoft’s martial arts game.
On to the White Whale Lagoon!
If you’re wondering what a “Lagoon” is, it is a whale lagoon, so a lagoon for a whale. Unfortunately, the translators at NCSoft opted out of syllable separation. As mentioned before, the fishermen on the coast celebrate the festival of the flying white whale, and this creature is said to bring great luck. However, to gain the whale’s favor, we first need to brawl vigorously!
Therefore, with this update, there are no new dungeons or raids, but hearty PvP brawls. Six players will face off against each other in a new battlefield and whale-massively beat each other up. In addition to the usual rewards, there are also special new “flawless Baguas” and weapons.
Also new: A feature that allows us to see at any time what materials we need for further upgrades of our equipment. This way, we can organize our resources much better and always know what we still need and what we can sell. The festival in honor of the white whale will take place starting October 26.

A wedding ceremony in Warframe was streamed live and supported by Twitch, Microsoft, and developer Digital Extremes.
Nuptia
When a couple’s passion for a video game goes so far that they contact the developer to request permission to hold a ceremony to enter into the eternal bond of marriage, it can lead to a celebration or two. This has already happened in WoW.
Now, on Monday, October 17, Warframe saw its very first in-game ceremony called “Nuptia”, which represents the eternal bond of two Tenno. The entire spectacle was live-streamed during the weekly Xbox One Warframe stream on Twitch and YouTube.
The wedding invitation to everyone via Twitter – stylishly in the language of the Orokin
Under the eyes of the community manager and “Space Mom” Lotus, Rebecca Ford herself, the ritual was initiated and performed in a specially set up clan dojo. The two players Niti and Eli from the Midgard clan exchanged vows in the presence of their friends and family. Even the groom’s grandmother was present via live stream.
The couple approached Warframe developer Digital Extremes 14 months ago with the idea and request for an in-game ceremony to express their mutual love. Over time, they got to know each other better, began planning, and ultimately fulfilled their great wish.
Nuptia – the eternal bond of the Tenno
As the two players, who also said “I do” in real life, are playing in the Xbox version of the cooperative space shooter, Microsoft gifted them an Xbox One S to celebrate the day, Twitch added some merchandise goodies, and Digital Extremes gifted the couple among other things two exclusive Warframe statues and a 3D print of their in-game characters that adorned the wedding cake.
The honeymoon, by the way, is not going to Canada, the home of the developers, but to Disneyland.

At Paragon, Epic Games reveals first details about Monolith and explains why a new map is needed.
Lead hero designer Cameron Winston talks about the decision to work on a new map and why current changes are important.
Problems seldom come alone
The atmosphere between players and developers of the currently open beta MOBA Paragon is still somewhat tense, but slowly the waves of outrage over the recent changes seem to be smoothing out and players are coming to terms with the current game version.
In pursuit of more open communication, Epic Games lead hero designer Cameron Winston has now provided a first insight into the new map “Monolith,” which will replace the current map, henceforth called “Legacy.”
The upcoming map will be about 30% smaller than the current version
He mentioned four core issues that have been raised repeatedly since June. These include the size of the map, the travel mode, the lack of engagement, and ultimately the duration of a match.
It was noted that match length is directly related to the lack of engagement, or rather, the players’ excessive ability to react to events. The often-mentioned “high risk – high reward” by Epic was hardly felt.
This ability to quickly leave your lane to assist another player without having to worry too much about any negative consequences for yourself is related to the travel mode and its speed. This, however, was necessary due to the size of the current map. A chain of problems ultimately triggered by a single reason: a map that’s too large.
Since it was not possible to simply shrink the existing map, they took all previous insights gained from both players and internal tests and began working on a completely new map.
Smaller, faster, and more dynamic
In an initial concept drawing, “Monolith” looks quite dark and threatening, and bears little resemblance to the lush nature present in “Legacy” with all its trees, plants, and waterfalls. One gets the impression of being in the “Lord of the Rings” universe.
A first look at the Monolith mini-map
However, not only visually will many things change. While there will still be height differences between jungle and lane, they aim to improve gameplay through an asymmetric arrangement of the map. Individual roles are expected to become more important and the match itself significantly more dynamic.
Furthermore, it was announced that “Monolith” will be approximately 30% smaller overall. Additionally, the travel mode will be completely abolished, but the base movement speed will be increased accordingly.
The upcoming map is expected to be released for testing purposes soon. However, no specific date has been provided for this yet. In the meantime, more information and insights into the ongoing development process will be shared in the coming weeks. So stay tuned.

Sonys PS VR is an affordable virtual reality headset for Sony’s PlayStation consoles, but how does it work if you already wear regular glasses? Does the visual aid possibly hinder the VR fun, and should I, as a glasses wearer, just avoid the whole thing?
Sonys PS VR is a good virtual reality headset for the (comparatively) small budget. And while the headset can be worn effortlessly without visual aid, many glasses wearers wonder if the PS VR fits comfortably on their heads and – more importantly – whether the VR experience is compromised by regular glasses.
PlayStation VR – The best VR headset for glasses wearers?
For all concerned glasses wearers, we have good news: Of the three currently available VR headsets, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR, the PS VR is definitely the best suited for wearers of visual aids! On the one hand, Sony’s headset has numerous screws and straps, allowing us to adapt the device even to the clumsiest of square heads – or even to the trendiest vintage horn-rimmed glasses!
Since the PS VR, thanks to its rubber edges around the face part, does not put unnecessary pressure on the arms of visual aids and the holders distribute the weight of the headset on the forehead and the back of the head, we as glasses wearers actually have no problems. Provided we adjust the headset long enough, but that is anyway mandatory, for example when the VR experience is blurry.
In connection with League of Legends, there was a tragic incident. A player strangled himself while his teammates watched via webcam.
According to reports from Daily Mail, a 13-year-old boy from Brazil strangled himself because his teammates jokingly encouraged him to do so. He was playing with a group of friends who could see each other via webcam. After a loss in League of Legends, it seemed to be the group’s tradition to “punish” a member.
The punishment ended fatally
The player group urged the 13-year-old Gustavo Detter to strangle himself. They could watch via webcam as he accepted and enacted this punishment. In the live feed, the other players could see how this joke suddenly turned serious and Gustavo Detter lost consciousness. The cousin, who was in the house at the time, was called directly by one of the other children. When she ran into the boy’s room, she found him unconscious. His parents then called an ambulance, which immediately took him to the hospital. One day after he was taken to Ana Costa Hospital, Gustavo Detter died.
The case is currently under investigation by the police to gather more accurate information.

The small pistol Kolibri can easily be yours in Battlefield 1. We will show you how to get it.
In recent days, many videos and GIFs have been released showing the Kolibri in action. This is a laughably tiny weapon in Battlefield 1, just large enough to handle. This weapon is a real eye-catcher in the game.
How to get the Kolibri in Battlefield 1
To obtain this weapon, you only need to reach Rank 10 with a class in multiplayer mode. Once you reach Rank 10, you can unlock this small pistol as a secondary weapon and purchase it for 150 Warbonds.
Keep in mind that the Kolibri is not very strong. When you hit with the bullets, you deal very little damage. In the video from StoneMountain64, you can see how the weapon performs in battle and how little damage it causes. Nevertheless, it looks like a lot of fun awaits you with the Kolibri. So load your pea ammunition and let’s get into the fight!

In Destiny new ornaments and masks are known. These will be available with the “Festival of the Lost”.
With the Patch 2.4.1 some changes came to Bungie’s MMO shooter, most of which are already active, but some only set the stage for future events. For example, there were changes to the horns, which prepare for the Sparrow Racing Event in December. In addition, there are already ornaments and masks in the game that can be obtained during the “Festival of the Lost“.
The Festival of the Lost will be the next big thing in Destiny. It is scheduled to start in October, presumably next week. Last year it took place from October 26 to November 9, 2015. This event is basically Halloween in Destiny. The Guardians laugh in the face of death and honor the spirits of the dead, guardians and citizens alike.
New Weapon Ornaments
Since the update 2.4.1 there are concrete indications of new weapon ornaments that will soon be integrated into the game. The biggest “leak” concerns the new ornaments of the exotic pulse rifle “Bad Karma”. These can already be displayed in-game.
Dragon’s Curse Ornament:
Hoodoom Ornament:
Bungie has already commented on these two ornaments: They can only be obtained with the return of the “Festival of the Lost”. However, a specific date is still unknown.
There are further hints of new ornaments that Bungie has not yet commented on. In the perk overview, a separator line is displayed for these, which separates the ornaments from the other perks. While the ornaments are still missing, the separator line is already there. If you check the material details of the weapon, they will be displayed.
As with Red Death: Here the ornaments are called “White Witch” and “Steel Witch”. What the gun looks like with these can only be guessed based on the ornament symbols.
Note: Currently, these images are circulating on the internet, which are supposed to be displayed in-game when switching weapons quickly. They are not officially confirmed:
With the Last Word there is also this separator line. In addition, two unnamed ornaments are displayed in the material details. However, the symbols are those of the ornaments of the Hawkmoon. Whether this is just a bug or if the Last Word will receive the same ornaments as the Hawkmoon is still unknown.
The same applies to the Black Spindle: Separator line and unnamed ornaments are present:
For the hand cannon Dorn, the names of the new ornaments are already visible: “Rose of Acids” and “Rose of Corruption”:
Also for the Dorn, the following images are already found on the internet, which are not officially verified:
When these ornaments will come into the game is unknown. They may also come with the “Festival of the Lost”, like the ornaments of Bad Karma.
New Masks
A Festival of the Lost would be nothing without masks. A new kiosk has been set up in the North Tower where you can reacquire all your “holiday items”. This collection is located next to the collections of badges and shaders:
All items of the festival have already been discovered in the databases, including emotes, ghost shells, shaders, a sparrow, the two “Bad Karma” ornaments, quests, consumables, and new as well as revised masks. All items are compiled in this Reddit thread.
New masks include:
A SIVA mask:
A wolf mask:
A “Lost Prince” mask:
A Aksis mask:
What do you think of all this?

After PC players have already experienced the latest DLC One Tamriel for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, it’s now the turn of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners.
From now on, you no longer have to deal with alliance restrictions or areas where your hero’s level is not sufficient on consoles. You simply experience the game at your own pace and how you want it. If you encounter a player from another alliance, just team up and set out together to experience adventures.
Tamriel is freely available to everyone
This way, you will find fellow players for the game’s group content even faster. Additionally, you can now also experience the content alone if you wish. Your hero’s level will be adjusted to the level of the respective area or dungeon. This means that while you will still face challenges, they are manageable alone. Thus, you set the pace at which you explore the world of Tamriel. You are no longer bound to a specific order, and grinding is no longer necessary.
What Update 12 brings
The new Update 12, which was released with the DLC One Tamriel, also brings you the following improvements:
You can now duel anywhere outside of Cyrodiil to test your skills and character builds.
All areas have been overhauled, allowing adventures for both single players and groups. This includes improved bosses and a unified difficulty level.
All dungeons can be played on Normal and Veteran difficulty levels. The story is separate from the difficulty level. You level up to the level needed for the fights. This also allows players of different levels to play together and secure loot appropriate for their level.
The massive zone of Kargstein has also been revised. It is now accessible to single players. However, the experience for groups is not compromised.
The loot in all zones is now standardized to match dungeon loot. You will now receive specific sets in certain areas, regardless of the level at which you complete the quests.

I wish you all a nice Wednesday morning! Okay, the morning is not that nice. I actually wanted to complain to you today about how bad it is to carry certain people through a raid who don’t show the same motivation as you do – but I’ll save that for next week. Let’s get to Overwatch.
Sombra – Who cares anymore?
As some of you may have noticed, the whole “game” surrounding Sombra reached a new peak yesterday. Because on the site amomentincrime.com there has been a percentage display running for several months, which finally reached 100% last night at 21:05. The fan community stared intently at the last percentage points as the “uploading” of the files was finally completed. What would happen now? Would Sombra just “hack” herself into the game? Is there perhaps a cinematic in which she announces herself? Is there a new test server where you can try her out?
But no. Nothing at all.
Two lines in the code change, which now say that our Bastion unit E-54 has been compromised.
You know, I’m slowly getting fed up with all this Sombra stuff. It’s just frustrating, and after so long of wandering around, the fun of this kind of game simply gets lost. I already roll my eyes when I read a new Sombra hint somewhere that might mean I have to report on it.
I have no idea who or what exactly Sombra is. But I know what she will be: a disappointment. As long as one has been chasing this digital ghost, who only speaks in vague statements and never leaves anything concrete to look forward to – it can only fail. Sombra cannot fulfill the expectations that have been built up even now.
Will we see Sombra at BlizzCon?
P.S.: With my luck, between writing this text and its publication, so much time has passed that Blizzard has actually released something. But I think I could handle that.

After Rockstar Games officially announced the Western action game Red Dead Redemption 2, one can speculate about what the innovative online mode might look like.
That Red Dead Redemption 2 will have a single-player mode where a story is told is clear. But what about the online mode? Are the developers taking inspiration from GTA Online? After all, they have already secured the domain reddeadonline.com. GTA Online is very popular and a similar gaming experience in a Western scenario would surely appeal to fans as well.
Gang wars, stagecoach robberies, and more
GTA Online is limited to 16 players at once. Would it be conceivable for Rockstar Games to raise this limit for Red Dead Online? One shouldn’t expect an MMO, as a dedicated team would likely be needed to manage a completely separate game. Nevertheless, Red Dead Online could feel somewhat like an MMO. Imagine if it were possible to band together with other players. Each gang controls a specific area of the vast game world. Gang wars could lead to territory expansion.
Perhaps one would also have to manage and expand one’s own “fortress” and maintain it, for which one would have to conquer mines. There, one could either mine ore or gold to create or purchase defenses. Of course, stagecoach robberies or train heists would not be omitted. Here, teamwork like in the heists of GTA Online would be required. Additionally, group missions or daily tasks could be available.
More players = more fun!
However, it would be necessary to increase the number of players. 32 to 64 would be ideal if there were multiple gangs in the game world, each consisting of at least seven to ten members. Such an online experience would surely provide a lot of fun. More information about the game and perhaps also about the online mode is hopefully revealed in the trailer that will be released tomorrow.
What do you think? How would you envision the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2? What should it offer for you? Would 32 to 64 players be enough for you? Let us know in the comments.
D.Va begins her career in StarCraft 2. Initially just as a new announcer voice.
When Blizzard wrote the backstory of Hana Song, better known as D.Va in Overwatch , the designers gave her a gaming background. In the future of the game, she is the number one player in StarCraft 2. So what could be more fitting than to give this character an appearance in actual StarCraft 2?
Therefore, D.Va will be one of the new “Announcer” voices introduced with patch 3.7 in Blizzard’s strategy game. Anyone who doesn’t like their generic announcer of the respective race (Protoss, Zerg, or Terran) will be able to exchange it for other character voices in the future – such as Abathur, Raynor, Artanis, or Kerrigan.
Anyone who wants to listen to some of D.Va’s lines that are quite harsh on the players can do this on the official Battle.net page.
D.Va is offered as a special bonus for all who either attend BlizzCon 2016 in person or watch the event from home via a Virtual Ticket. BlizzCon takes place on November 4th and 5th in Anaheim – but for most of us probably rather on the home screen.

To learn the exact mechanics of this raid, you should check out our “Wrath of the Machine” guide. Below, we will only list the differences of the heroic mode – also known as hard mode.
This is how you defeat Vosiks in heroic
In general, the heroic mode is not too difficult if you are already familiar with the mechanics. The enemies are simply stronger, and you cannot revive your teammates. The recommended light level is 380.
In the first phase of Vosik, there are no major innovations. The mechanics remain the same. The boss himself has more armor, so you will take longer to make him disappear.
Also the second phase with Vosik remains largely the same: You throw bombs at him to destroy his shield, you shoot down monitors, and you hide in the rooms. But:
In the bomb phase, six bombs now drop. Each Guardian must pick one up and throw it at Vosik. Two bombs fall on the left side, the right side, and in the middle from the ceiling.
In the monitor phase, you now have to deal with the large monitors:
These have more health than the small screens, so you should shoot at them better as a team.
When you run into the rooms, the entrances are nearly completely closed. You must therefore run towards them and slide underneath or crawl through while crouching.
By the way: There is now a “red” chest as a reward for the heroic mode loot. The “normal” chest only gives items up to light level 385.
The Siege Machine in heroic mode
In the siege machine, you will find more and stronger adds. Moreover, the siege machine is a bit faster. Otherwise, everything initially happens as usual.
The biggest difference from the normal mode is that during Meksis, a runner, a “Perfected Walker,” also appears. Defeat him or shoot him in a foot until he goes down, and quickly run past him.
Aksis – Phase 1 in Heroic Mode
The mechanic remains; the only difference (besides stronger adds) is that there are now three turrets (middle, left, and right) that want to annoy you. However, you cannot destroy the turrets with firepower; you can only deactivate them for a while. After about 20 seconds, they will become active again. Therefore, you can never completely eliminate this threat during the fight. So don’t forget about them. They deal a lot of damage, but can be quickly deactivated.
This is where one of the “turrets” is being targeted
Aksis – Phase 2 in Heroic Mode
Aksis seems to be going a bit more aggressively than before, and you need to watch out for the stronger adds. The turrets are no longer there. Basically, you only need to pay attention to one change: 9 Servitors spawn instead of 3, which drop bombs. These come one after another – as soon as one is destroyed, the next one comes immediately. The tempo is thus significantly increased. Otherwise, it’s the familiar mechanics.
At the very end, when Aksis wants to wipe you out with his last attempt, he doesn’t initially stand still, but rather disappears from time to time. However, as soon as he raises his hand, everything is the same as before.
You can also watch all bosses in heroic mode in the following video, the times are specified below:

Some players in WoW have several legendary items. The developers joke about it.
The legendary items from World of Warcraft: Legion spark many controversial discussions. While some players are generally dissatisfied with the new items, saying they have nothing to do with “legendary”, others complain that they have not received a legendary item yet. Another group of players is annoyed with those who have been luckier than themselves, having two, three, or even four legendary items.
In an interview with Community Manager “Lore”, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas revealed that there was already an internal running gag:
“Maybe we should have implemented a protection against too much luck. (…) But seriously, people with 3 or 4 legendary items are just very lucky individuals and an absolute minority, somewhere in the second decimal place behind the zero.”
At the same time, Ion Hazzikostas dispelled some myths. While there is a protection against “Bad Luck” that ensures you don’t get the same legendary item twice, other rumors are not true. The chance of getting a legendary item does not increase over time – that is, not with each week that the character is level 110. Also, every boss killed in a dungeon does not increase the chance of an orange drop.
There is simply no “guarantee” of receiving a legendary item. This is indeed intended. Because if players could “work towards” it, it would feel like a long grind. They should be happy when the item drops – the fact that there are some fans who are not satisfied with this is unfortunately a necessary evil that must be accepted. You can’t please everyone.
During the interview, there were more discussions on the following topics:
In Destiny, the heroic mode was completed in just 45 minutes – by “The Bus Drivers”!
Yesterday, on October 19th, the Heroic mode of the new raid “Wrath of the Machine” opened its gates. Bungie announced another race for the “World First” status. And the race lasted extremely briefly.
While the normal mode lasted about 2 hours, the heroic Aksis fell after just 45 minutes and 55 seconds. This achievement was accomplished by a German-speaking clan: “The Bus Drivers”. The following Guardians were honored by Bungie and can now proudly carry the “World First” status:
Volt230
TehCupido
skillprofi-1
E_N_D_23
PreeeY
ProX_Exotic
You can reach the public clan page of “The Bus Drivers” here. Their mission statement is: “Speedrunning team for every goal!” It was definitely an impressive speedrun in the Heroic mode of “Wrath of the Machine” – at this point also from us: Congratulations!
The community manager DeeJ couldn’t resist making a few jokes. Initially, he posted a Google Translate link on Twitter, in which he explained to all non-German-speaking guardians that “The Bus Drivers” in English means “the bus drivers”.
Immediately afterward, he wrote: “You will now see your bus drivers in a whole new light. They could be hardcore raiders.”
The other placements in the race also achieved remarkable times:
The Bus Drivers – 45:55
The Legend Himself – 47:44
Redeem – 49:52
The third-placed clan was once the first to conquer the “normal” raid. This time, it’s still an excellent third place. The clan “The Legend Himself” is already known to us from videos we reported on. These guardians have shown impressive performances in “Wrath of the Machine”, such as a two-player Aksis kill.

In Destiny, the complete patch notes for update 2.4.1 are known. This update is marked with version 1.29.
On the evening of October 18th, update 2.4.1 went live for PS4 and Xbox One. It is available for guardians to download. It was already known in advance that this patch will raise the maximum light level to 400. However, it also brings numerous other changes.

The Pokémon GO Plus gadget has received new options for notifications. You can now choose what you want to be informed about.
With the “Pokémon GO Plus” gadget, you receive notifications, for example, when a wild Pokémon or a PokéStop is nearby. The gadget is connected to your smartphone and can attract attention through LED or vibration alerts while you wear it on your wrist or clothing. To catch a Pokémon afterwards, you don’t even need to use your smartphone, just press a button on the gadget. Now there are the first changes.
Pokémon GO Plus now also without notifications
In an update, the “Pokémon GO” team announced the new settings available for the gadget. The default setting still includes simultaneous scanning of PokéStops and Pokémon. Each of these notifications can now be toggled on or off individually. Additionally, there is the option to use the gadget solely to record the distance traveled without receiving any notifications. If you use Pokémon GO Plus just to track your distance without having to hold your smartphone constantly, then the gadget can also be discreet and not noticeable.

Epic Games helps MOBA newcomers and addresses a commonly criticized issue in Paragon.
Interactive Tutorial
Another Tuesday means another update in the open beta MOBA Paragon. This time, Epic Games tackles a frequently raised issue in the game: the often criticized lack of knowledge among many MOBA newcomers. With its refreshingly different presentation, perspective, and not least the release of the game on the PS4 console, the still-in-development Paragon attracts not only MOBA veterans.
To provide genre-unfamiliar players with an easier entry and to introduce them specifically to Paragon, an interactive tutorial is being introduced with update v.33.0, in which various objectives must be completed. This aims to ensure that fewer players enter their first matches without equipping cards or throw in the towel and leave the ongoing game.

In addition to some minor technical improvements and bug fixes, there are also new skins for Fey, Khaimera, and Gideon. The first two are T1 skins. However, the muscle-bound wizard Gideon has been given a T3 skin that reveals his inner self. It seems something went terribly wrong with his Halloween costume preparations as a pirate captain.
As is common with higher category skins, not only does his appearance change, but so do the visuals of his abilities to match the theme. Additionally, the second week of the Shadow Night Event runs until Monday, October 24th. Here, you can win three more skins as long as your Twitch account is linked to your Epic account and you either watch Paragon streamers or stream your MOBA skills to the world via Twitch.
