Guild Wars 2 has a particularly rich lore, and in it, the spooky festival Halloween has a fixed place. In ArenaNet’s MMORPG , there is a festival where the creepy Pumpkin King Thorn plays an important role. There is also the Clock Tower of Death!
Every year again, in October, the crazy King Thorn comes to Lion’s Arch and brings chaos and madness with him. The mad monarch was once a cruel despot, responsible for all kinds of atrocities, which is why the peoples of Tyria also celebrate a festival to placate his spirit.
Therefore, we can also participate in the spooky festival “Shadows of the Mad King” starting from October 18, 2016. Once again in the mix: the ridiculously difficult jumping puzzle around the enchanted Clock Tower and the dark labyrinth. Furthermore, there is the popular event around the mad king again.
Is the prince coming too?
This year we might even meet his no less crazy son, the Bloody Prince, again. ArenaNet at least hints at it in response to our inquiry, even though there is still no official confirmation.
As always, festive decorations in Lion’s Arch, mini-games, and loads of candy corn await. This candy makes us faster, and those who eat too much of it might end up throwing up! Preferably on the shoes of the Bloody Prince, which in the past even resulted in an achievement!

On October 13, Playstation VR, Sony’s virtual reality headset, will be released. The package includes the game collection Playroom VR, which will also offer multiplayer games.
But how does a multiplayer game work when there is only one VR headset? This can be well experienced in the party game Monster Escape. In this game, four players on the TV try to escape from a monster controlled by the player with the VR headset. The four fugitives work together cooperatively and do not see where the VR player is and when he appears. On the other hand, the player with the VR headset only sees his character and does not know what the others are planning.

In a similar way, the game Cat and Mouse works. The players on the TV are the mice stealing food in a kitchen. The VR player is the cat who jumps out of her hiding spot to catch the mice.
Particularly exciting sounds like Ghost House. Here the player with the VR headset plays basically alone, but he has to rely on the other players who tell him what to shoot at. Only they see the ghosts on the TV screen.
In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, the VR player must defuse a bomb while following the instructions of the other players.
Teamwork or rather against each other?
However, there are more multiplayer games for Playstation VR in development. This includes Star Trek Bridge Crew, in which you take on the role of an officer on the bridge of a spaceship from Star Trek. Each player takes on a different station. One is the engineer, another operates the defense systems, and another is the captain giving commands. Teams must work together to handle various situations. The VR headset gives the feeling of actually being on the bridge of the spaceship.

EVE: Valkyrie is a space shooter in which you experience the space battles of the EVE Online universe as a fighter pilot. You steer your ship through space and encounter other players and space pirates. The VR headset makes you feel like you are actually in the cockpit of the ship.
If you are more into racing games, you can look forward to Gran Turismo Sport, where you compete in intense races against other players. The racing game Driveclub VR follows a similar line.

Therefore, Playstation VR is very well suited for multiplayer games and will be supplied with a whole range of games where you play with and against other players. You can try it out starting tomorrow, October 13, when the VR headset will be delivered.
Wildstar introduced one of the coolest Halloween events we have ever experienced in an MMO last year with the “Night of Shadows“. Those who missed the Night of Shadows last year or can’t get enough of it will soon have the chance again to beg for candy in housing or take on Shadow-Jack in Stummbühl.
The developers of Wildstar have come up with something special for Halloween, as they have created a cool equivalent in the game world for the old Celtic festival: The Night of Shadows. On this day, people remember a terrible plague that nearly wiped out the entire population of Cassius in the past and could only be cured through the sacrifice of a young girl and her DNA.
Party in the Capital and the Horror in Stummbühl
Therefore, both factions will decorate their capitals with spooky decor from October 19 to November 1 and offer fun quests to obtain shadow silver. We will then exchange this currency for special Halloween items and costumes, including the iconic Shadow-Jack costume or the golden wig of the girl Seraphina.
However, the best part of the Halloween event is the exclusive instance “Stummbühl”, a secluded village where horrific things are happening and a tough boss fight against Shadow-Jack himself is ahead. Furthermore, we can indulge our Halloween decorating craze in WildStar housing and decorate our pad in a particularly creepy way. To let other players notice, we place bowls full of candy that our fellow players can pick up as part of a specific quest.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, today is weapon day. The Gunsmith brings new weapons and takes orders.
With “Rise of Iron,” Banshee-44 received little love from Bungie. He didn’t get any new weapons to offer to the Guardians as forging orders – much to the dismay of many players. Only the light level of his items was raised to 320, which seems rather meager compared to the offerings of other vendors.
Nevertheless, he still shows up every Wednesday at 11 AM reliably with a fresh inventory that he is happy to present to you. At least, if you increase your reputation with him. At certain reputation ranks, he even has quests for exclusive weapons for you.
The field test weapons this week
To increase your reputation, you must execute the following weapons:
A Suros auto rifle and a Häkke pulse rifle want to experience the Crucible.
An Omolon fusion rifle has its sights set on Vex Minotaurs.
A Häkke pulse rifle aims to land precision shots.
A Suros pulse rifle is often used against Vex.
These 5 weapons can be ordered
For 2500 Glimmer, you can issue these forging orders:
The scout rifle DIS-43 comes from Suros. Impact 48.
The “Häkke Gaheris-D” hand cannon can also be ordered. High impact of 81.
Or you can choose the Omolon hand cannon Kumakatok HC4, a powerful weapon with the right perks. Impact 68.
The pulse rifle Herja-D comes from Häkke. Impact 14.
Finally, there’s the forging order for the Häkke shotgun Strongbow-D. Impact 52.
Which weapons with which perks can be picked up?
The Suros ARI-41 auto rifle comes with smallbore or focus fire.
The automatic rifle Suros ARI-45 brings perfect balance, outlaw, and hand-laid stock.
The hand cannon Uffern HC4 unfortunately does not come with perks that increase range. However, it has a triple and zen moment.
The pulse rifle Lyudmila-D has head seeker, full auto, and enhanced barrel.
The sniper rifle Tamar-D comes with relentless and perfect balance.

SWTOR has a great story – but is the game still an MMO? Cortyn thinks: Not for everyone.
Wishing you a nice Wednesday! Glad that you found the time to check this out between your Overwatch matches, world quests, and Destiny dawn strikes (or whatever that stuff is called). Today we are talking a bit about an MMO that has actually become a solo game.
Past Days in SWTOR
After my 4th alt in World of Warcraft has now reached the maximum level, I had a conversation with a good friend last week about whether we should take another look at Star Wars: The Old Republic. Especially after the new, bombastic trailer, he was pretty hyped.
We reminisced about the past and our Sith career in SWTOR and then discussed how the game has changed over the years.

In the beginning, it was pretty cool: You completed the “planet quests” together, and during dialogues, it was decided who could provide an answer in turn. Although you couldn’t make decisions in the personal class story, you could watch others in their story – that was exciting and cool.
When we started “Knights of the Fallen Empire” almost a year ago, we actually wanted to play together – but that didn’t work. All the storyline (except for one or two planetary areas) was made for solo players and basically everything was instanced. It ended up being that we were hanging out on Skype while playing through the chapters in parallel and then telling each other about our decisions (and the differences in the impacts). Although that was still cool, it didn’t really have much to do with “playing together” anymore. SWTOR had – at least for us – simply completely lost the MMO aspect.
Cool story – but not for group players.
SWTOR – Better off if it is not an MMO
In our opinion, SWTOR has definitely become a better game with the last expansion – but it’s no longer an MMORPG. All group activities are optional and some are so well “hidden” that they don’t even stand out during normal play. For us, SWTOR has become nothing more than a solid single-player RPG with integrated chat. Don’t get me wrong: We had an enormous amount of fun in SWTOR. But just not together, rather each on their own.
That doesn’t seem to change much with “Knights of the Eternal Throne” either, as 9 chapters will be told here again, which will likely be pure solo experiences. The story will surely be great, but more than discussing it together is probably all the game will be able to offer us anymore.
Maybe I just see things wrong. How do you perceive SWTOR at the moment? Do you play it, like me, primarily for the solo content? Or do you enjoy the group tasks?

On one hand, there is a highly interesting competition where you can win two travel packages. The first package takes you on an Africa safari to Kenya and Tanzania. During the trip, you will explore the savannas of East Africa and visit six different wildlife reserves. The entire trip will last 13 days and 12 nights. The second package takes you to the Swiss Alps. You will visit Swiss villages and take a gondola or train to the peaks of Eiger and Matterhorn. This trip lasts 9 days and 8 nights.
To participate in this competition, log in to the game between October 5 and December 16 and then register at www.elderscrollsonline.com/tripofalifetime. The winners will be drawn in January 2017.
The Witch Festival Begins!
If you don’t want to travel that far in real life, you can also participate in an interesting event in the fantasy world of Tamriel. Starting tomorrow, October 13, sorcerers and ghost summoners will gather throughout Tamriel to perform unholy rituals that summon dark creatures. During the event, you can expect special challenges related to these summons. Those who take on these tasks can look forward to exclusive rewards!
You can also celebrate at the Witch Festival by obtaining the free Crowcaller in the Crown Store. Those who use it to engage in the Witch Mother’s trade will receive a quest. After completing it, you will receive the Witch Mother’s Pipe. Use it to summon the Witch Mother’s Cauldron. Through this cauldron, you and your group will transform into terrifying, undead monsters. The transformation lasts two hours, and you may perform it as often as you like until November 1.
As undead, you also have the chance to loot Plunder Skulls when defeating leaders. These contain special items like masks (equipped as hats), strange holiday recipes for provisioning, the crafting style of Jack-o’-lantern, and more. However, the Witch Mother’s Pipe loses its effect after the festival.
In The Division, the release date for update 1.4 is getting closer. Massive has now teased the main new features and changes.
The October update 1.4 is approaching. While there is still no concrete launch date, signs are pointing to the fact that the developers can meet “October”. Most likely, we will learn in tomorrow’s State of the Game (13.10.) when the patch will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In recent weeks, they have consistently said that they unfortunately cannot provide a date yet. Last week, however, they stated that update 1.4 is now almost complete, with only minor adjustments remaining.
Update: There will be no State of the Game tomorrow! Instead, an article from Massive is expected to be released.
Update 1.4 is full of changes
Massive has now published a GIF via Twitter listing all the new features of the update. They also want to know which one you are most excited about:

World Tiers: In the endgame, you can select world tiers, determining the level of enemies and the score of your loot. Read all about the world tiers here.
Gear Buyback and Lock: You can buy back items that you accidentally sold. Or completely lock them for sale.
Field Proficiency: This term refers to the feature that keeps experience important even in the endgame. With XP, you fill a bar: When it is full, you receive a sealed container.
229 Blueprints: Depending on your world tier, you will also have access to blueprints with the maximum gear score. This will also enhance crafting.
“Quality of Life” fixes: Additionally, numerous other improvements are being made to make life in the post-apocalypse more pleasant. For example, with 1.4 you can run into the terminal at “the stairs”!
All these changes will come as a free update for all agents on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The Halloween event in Overwatch brings many new skins. We show you all of them!
For nearly 3 weeks, everything goes crazy in Overwatch. Yesterday (10/11/2016), the Halloween event in Blizzard’s hero shooter was unlocked and offers a lot of novelties. Besides small changes to the interface and fine-tuning the game’s balance, the numerous rewards of the event stand out. Just like back then with the “Summer Games”, numerous cosmetic items can only be obtained during this time.

We have taken screenshots of all the new skins that you can get during the event.
The new skins are included in the special Halloween loot boxes, which will be issued instead of “normal” loot boxes when leveling up for the duration of nearly 3 weeks. All players receive a loot box for free upon logging in during the event.
The following “epic” skins are available during the event. They can alternatively be unlocked for 750 credits (click to enlarge).
Furthermore, there are the noticeably more elegant “legendary” skins that cost a proud 3,000 credits, but are also a real eye-catcher.
Those who have no time for much play can also buy the Halloween loot boxes at the usual prices in the shop.
Cortyn says: Especially Mercy and Symmetra have captured my attention with their skins. Since I also want to run around as an evil witch or vampire lady throughout the year, I will probably invest way too much time in the game just to ultimately end up having to spend my credits. But that’s exactly what credits are for…

Tomorrow, October 13 it will be here. Sony will release the virtual reality headset PlayStation VR. Many are now wondering if there will also be a PS-VR bundle at launch.
No matter where you look, PlayStation VR is currently sold out almost everywhere, even on Amazon. With a bit of luck, you might still be able to get the VR headset in stores tomorrow. On eBay, the devices are currently being offered for more than the retail price. So it’s not easy to get a headset at the moment. Sony announced that they intend to deliver all pre-orders by the end of this year if possible – but without guarantee.
Will there be a bundle?
Many gamers are now wondering if there might be a bundle. The situation currently looks like Sony is indeed planning such a bundle. This includes the headset plus the PlayStation camera in the new 2016 version. This package is supposed to cost 449 euros and will be available in stores “soon”. A specific date is not yet set for Germany. Other countries will receive the bundle starting tomorrow. Currently, it is not possible to pre-order it either. A package consisting of PlayStation 4 plus PlayStation VR is currently not planned. Here, one has to see if perhaps individual retailers will assemble and offer such a bundle themselves.
What would be interesting for many would be a bundle consisting of headset, camera, and Move controllers, as these are supposed to make the controls easier in some games or at least make it more “immersive”. However, such a thing is also not planned. Sony has a clear opinion on such bundles. They do not want customers to have to buy products multiple times through such packages. Many PS4 owners would, for example, already have a PlayStation camera at home and therefore would not want to opt for a bundle. Therefore, they prefer to sell the individual items separately.
Bundle fans will have to wait
With the announcement of the package consisting of PlayStation VR and camera, they at least backtracked a bit here. However, those who want this bundle will still have to be patient, as it is currently unclear when it will hit the market here. Sony presumably wants to deliver all regular pre-orders first before they deal with the package.
The PlayStation VR seems to be completely sold out everywhere in Germany. We will tell you where you can still buy and preorder it just before release.
Tomorrow it is finally happening: Sony’s VR headset for the PS4 officially launches on October 13, 2016. However, not every interested gamer will be able to embark on the journey into virtual reality on that day: The PSVR has been sold out for some time now. Where can it still be preordered and by when will it be delivered?
PlayStation VR: Delivery still this year?
The PSVR for the PS4 is considered the VR headset for the masses: Compared to the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, it costs only 399 euros and does not require an extremely expensive gaming PC. Many already have Sony’s gaming console set up in their living room and could start right away with the PlayStation VR – as long as they could get a model.
In Germany, there is no major official retailer left where the PSVR is not completely sold out. At Amazon, the stock was plundered by preorders in no time. Currently, you can only put yourself on a mailing list with the online retailer to be informed about restocks.
Also at GameStop and Media Markt, online purchases are no longer possible. Unfortunately, the offer is sold out, and preordering is not possible anymore. If you’re now considering buying the PSVR not online but directly in a store, things don’t look good either: GameStop provides a map where customers can see in which store Sony’s VR headset is still available. Red means sold out, yellow means almost sold out, and green means available. See for yourself:
Other retailers are still accepting preorders, but they don’t offer much hope that customers will soon have the device in their hands. Saturn points out that due to high demand for the VR headset, unfortunately, the quota is exhausted. However, preordering is still possible; one shouldn’t expect a delivery date before late 2016 to early 2017. These details are also without guarantee. The two online shops Otto.de and Schwab are also still accepting preorders and indicate a delivery “by Christmas”.
In other words: Those who preorder today will have to wait more than two months for the PlayStation VR. However, if you don’t want to wait that long, there’s still the option to dig deeper into your pockets and check eBay. There you will find numerous dealers and private sellers who promise to ship the PSVR by October 13. However, you should expect a hefty markup. Auctions are likely to settle a few hundred euros above the MSRP of 399 euros.
Order PlayStation VR from abroad?
Thanks to Amazon’s vast network, deliveries from abroad are now possible without any problems. Currently, the PSVR is still available for preorder at Amazon Spain, Amazon Italy, Amazon France, and Amazon UK. In Spain, it is even offered at nearly 8 euros cheaper than in Germany.
PS4 Camera and Move Controller
At this point, a note: a PS4 alone is not enough to use the PSVR headset. A PS4 Camera (Amazon.de) is absolutely necessary, which is not included in the 399 euros. The camera still costs around 60 euros extra if you don’t already own one.
A new controller is not needed as most games work perfectly with the DualShock 4. However, the gaming experience is said to be better if two Move Controllers are used. Two of those cost around 75 euros.
By the way: The Move controllers from the PS3 are also suitable for virtual reality.
The Timewalking returns with WoW: Legion. First, we will visit the dungeons from “The Burning Crusade”.
For a few weeks now, the “warm-up phase” of World of Warcraft: Legion is over and weekly events are taking place again. Each week, a specific type of content is promoted with special rewards and a quest that offers artifact power, order resources, gold, or other rewards.
10 years into the past – Loot of today
Since this morning (October 12th), the Timewalking event “The Burning Crusade” is back. For one week, all players from level 70 can visit the old dungeons. The character stats are reduced so that the dungeon (at least a little bit) remains challenging. Those who are already level 110 will receive gear with item level 820 in the old dungeons – a great chance for alternative characters to quickly obtain solid starting gear to then tackle heroic and mythic dungeons.
The other rewards have not changed (so far). The Timeworn badges acquired during the dungeon can still be turned in at the same vendor. If you haven’t secured the various mounts yet, you now have another chance to collect more badges.
If you have already reached level 110, you should pick up the weekly quest from Archmage Timear in Dalaran in front of the Violet Hold. Those who complete 5 Timewalking dungeons will be rewarded with some artifact power, a Seal of Broken Fate, and a loot box that can contain items from the raid “Emerald Nightmare” (item level 850).
The Halloween event of Overwatch is now live! We have all the details for you.
Secretly under the cover of evening, Blizzard has now launched the Halloween event for Overwatch. The nearly 1.6 GB patch 1.10 (on PC) is now available for download and installation.
However, there is a special feature: Following the negative feedback from the Summer Games event, where skins could only be purchased in loot boxes, there is now a change. Halloween loot can also be purchased for credits! However, this loot is priced three times higher. A legendary Halloween skin costs 3000 credits, while an epic one costs 750.
More than 100 different items can be included in the loot boxes, which now replace the regular loot boxes. The event is expected to run until November 1, ending the night after Halloween. Use the time to secure all the rewards you want!
Aside from the new cosmetics, there is also a fresh brawl mode, the threatened attack from Dr. Junkenstein. We will report on the details of this game mode at a future point (as soon as we have played it extensively ourselves).
Cortyn says: Well, now WoW has disappeared for a few days. Don’t expect me in the next few days, because I have to play Overwatch. I certainly won’t miss this skin for Mercy. I also need to grab the new Symmetra skin. And Roadhog too. Oh, damn. How am I supposed to manage all of this? In any case, Blizzard has come up with some really cool things that massively promote collecting – I just hope I won’t have to spend any Euros for it…

The latest patch for Tree of Savior brings long-awaited changes and new classes.
A new patch for Tree of Savior took place last night (from October 10 to 11), bringing many new features. New classes for rank 8, rank 6 (Circle 3), and rank 7 (Circle 2) are waiting for players.
In addition, the highlights of the patch include the following new features:
The maximum level for player characters and their companions is now 330.
The maximum level of a team is now 100.
32 new quests have been added (along with new items).
3 new world bosses can now be defeated.
Aside from that, there are a variety of changes and adjustments aimed at improving the overall gameplay experience and fixing bugs. This includes new dungeons and an adjustment of the experience points earned – these have been adjusted in 26 zones (with increases in 23 zones and reductions in only 3 zones).
The complete, very extensive patch notes can be viewed in our sources if you are interested in all the details.
Clearly, Guardians seem to particularly target the final bosses, as Aksis has also been defeated in various ways. A few weeks ago, we reported that Aksis could be taken down with two players. Now he has been taken down without the use of Guardian weapons.
Aksis kill without Guardian weapons
This feat was accomplished by the team led by YouTuber Sean Gallagher. They fought Aksis and the adds using only grenades and melee attacks. Only the cannons had to be used to destroy the Servitors. That is just how the game mechanics require it. However, these were used only on the Servitors, and they did not shoot at the adds or Aksis with them. No Guardian weapon was used. Here is the video:

To celebrate the opening of the new store, Soulbound presents a first look at the vibrant game world of Chronicles of Elyria.
In May, Soulbound Studios launched their Kickstarter campaign for their sandbox MMO Chronicles of Elyria, which successfully concluded with around 1.4 million dollars. According to the team, this “seed money” will be used to develop a prototype to attract further investors for the game. This is a typical approach, not just for small studios but for almost all startup companies.
However, the developers assure that they already have plans for funding through additional investments and they are confident that they could create the game even without further funding from players if it came to that. However, every Euro contributed by players reduces the need to rely on external financiers, thus relieving pressure from the developers.
Those who want to support the development of Chronicles of Elyria can do so in the newstore on the official website.
New video shows a vibrant world
And so that players know what they are spending their money on, the developers have created a sequel to their Titans Steppe video, which now shows the northern, forested part of the landscape.

The textures and animations clearly show their pre-alpha status and according to the team, these are still placeholders. Nevertheless, the atmosphere and design of the world already inspire a desire to dive into the world of Elyria.
If you have questions for the developers, go ahead!
The first part of the questions will be of a general nature, so players who have never heard of the game can get an impression of it. The last part of the questions, however, we want to leave to you, our community.
Therefore, we ask you to post your burning questions in the comments. Multiple questions per person are not only allowed but explicitly encouraged.
We will then make a pre-selection in the coming days and pass these on to Caspian, so that he can answer a handful of them. Which and how many this will be is up to him. So go ahead!
Mal’Damba is the newest champion in Paladins – a healer with many nasty crowd control effects.
Since Paladins had a fairly solid launch on Steam, the developers at HiRez have been working hard to implement new champions and game content. The next patch is already on the horizon and brings the new champion Mal’Damba, who acts as a healer while also bringing some crowd control effects.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rz8mrewGRU
Let’s take a quick look at his abilities.
The normal shot is a Spitting Cobra that shoots poison at the enemy. When the weapon is reloaded, Mal’Damba hurls the cobra at the enemy, briefly stunning them. The weapon can only be reloaded when it has very little ammunition left.
The alternate fire mode Mending Spirits places a “healing over time” effect on the first allied target hit.
With Gourd, the champion throws a vial that bounces off walls and bursts upon contact with the ground. The resulting puddle heals allies over a few seconds and damages enemies.
Mal’Damba’s movement ability is Slither, which propels him a few meters forward.
The ultimate ability is Dread Serpent. Mal’Damba throws an energy ball at the target area, temporarily cursing a large area. Enemies in that area are feared and run in different directions. Each enemy can only be feared once per use of the ability.
Those interested in the hero shooter from HiRez can download the game for free via Steam.
In FIFA 17, the real-money price for the “best” team in FUT 17 was calculated.
In the “Ultimate Team” mode of FIFA 17, you can build your own team and compete in leagues and tournaments both online and offline. To enhance your team with strong players, you need coins, with several ways to obtain these golden objects of desire. You can earn coin rewards after matches, you can work for them through trading, or you can invest real money to open various player packs.
Because with the necessary cash, you can purchase FIFA Points. For example, a gold pack costs 150 FIFA Points or 7500 coins. This allows you to calculate how much real money a coin is worth in FUT 17 or what “the best team” would theoretically cost. This is exactly what the English-speaking site Gamesradar did: They determined the price of the “ultimate Ultimate Team” in FIFA 17 in British pounds.
The most expensive player is Cristiano Ronaldo
Gamesradar concluded that a coin in FUT 17 is worth £0.00015219047. The best team consists of players including Messi, Ronaldo, and Suarez. For team chemistry reasons, most players are from the Spanish league and are of Spanish nationality. There was no room for superstars like Neymar, Bale, or Pogba:
Note: The following calculations refer to the PS4 version and the average transfer market prices at the time the article was written.
GK: David De Gea (Manchester United, 90) – 129,000 / £19.63
ST: Luis Suarez (Barcelona, 92) – 548,000 / £83.40
LF: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, 94) – 1,300,000 / £197.85
In total, this amounts to a value of £508.31. This is equivalent to just over 564 Euros! The most expensive players are the three attacking artists, led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
H1Z1, the zombie survival game by Daybreak, exists separately as a PvP version and a PvE title. Recently, the PvP edition called “King of the Kill” received many updates, while the PvE version stagnated. Landon Montgomery, former co-founder of Gearbox, is said to take over as the new general manager to end the crisis.
H1Z1 is a zombie survival game that was split into two games in early 2016. One game, “King of the Kill”, revolves around brutal PvP battles, while the PvE version “Just Survive” depicts the classic “humans against zombies” situation. However, the latter has been poorly handled by the developer Daybreak lately, while the PvP edition has been continuously developed.
So far, the psychos from King of the Kill have received all the new content. Not for long!
New Chief Promises Improvements
The dire situation for Just Survive is set to change soon, as the PvE division of H1Z1 has a new chief who promises extensive updates. This is none other than Landon Montgomery, the former co-founder of Gearbox, the studio behind the cult classic Borderlands as well as the wonderfully quirky shooter MOBA Battleborn.
On Reddit, Montgomery published an open letter hinting at extensive updates in Just Survive. While no concrete information is mentioned, the new chief seems to have a lot of updates planned, and a large Q&A session in the “Ask Me Anything” format is also supposed to take place soon.

In Destiny, we take a closer look at “The Proud Tower Tip.” What can the shotgun do in PvE and PvP?
In the October Iron Banner, two weapons were at the center: “The Unyielding Tree,” an auto rifle, and “The Proud Tower Tip,” a shotgun. In this article, we take a closer look at the shotgun.
How to Obtain “The Proud Tower Tip”
You can obtain the Iron Banner shotgun in four ways. The prerequisite is that the Iron Banner, the monthly PvP event, is active.
Efrideet: The new contact for the Iron Banner has been Efrideet since RoI. She can offer “The Proud Tower Tip” again in the coming months with fixed perks, as was the case in the October Iron Banner.
Random drop after Iron Banner matches: When the shotgun is offered again by Efrideet, it can also be obtained with random perks at the end of “Iron Banner” matches.
Reward for completing bounty quests: By completing Iron Banner bounty quests, you receive direct rewards. The weapon rewards can include all Iron Banner weapons – not just the two weapons offered by Efrideet.
Reward for the Iron Banner quest: In “The Pursuit of Light,” you must reach specific Iron Banner ranks. There are random rewards for this. Here too, you have a chance to obtain “The Proud Tower Tip.”
What Makes “The Proud Tower Tip” Stand Out in Destiny?
The shotgun was forged in honor of Silimar. It is a shotgun that comes with a high rate of fire but low impact. Additionally, it has above-average stability, a very fast reload speed, a high aim assist, a good magazine size, and can be drawn quickly. Here are the specific stats:
The major drawback of this weapon lies in its range. Especially in PvP, pump-action shotguns that have high impact and range are preferred, such as “The Last Attempt 001” from Dead Orbit.
What Can the Shotgun Do in PvE and PvP?
For PvP: In short, “The Proud Tower Tip” is currently not recommended in the Crucible. Here, powerful shotguns dominate. In direct duel with Guardians wielding such a shotgun, you will fall short with “The Proud Tower Tip.”
In PvE, however, it becomes interesting, as you do not need to deal as much damage as possible with one shot, but instead should deal damage over time. For this, the high rate of fire is practical. To compensate for the disadvantage of low range, you can rely on perks like Hammerforged, Enhanced Barrel, Flared Magwell, or Smallbore. Also, Snapshots are available in the perks pool. However, the options for increasing range and impact are very limited.
Therefore, you can also rely on the advantages of this weapon instead of trying to compensate for the disadvantages, and look for perks that match a run-and-gun playstyle, such as Lightweight, One-point Sling, Full Auto, Battle Runner, Crowd Control, or Life Support.

According to Nexxoss Gaming, this is a weapon that is not really worth it. In PvP, it is useless and in PvE, it is rather regarded as average. “The Proud Tower Tip” is not a new overweapon.

Skyforge will be simplified and made more beginner-friendly with the upcoming update Ascension. After the character progression and the equipment system became less complicated, now it’s the Pantheons, the guilds of Skyforge, that are next.
“Why complicate things when they can be simple?” This is the unofficial motto of the upcoming update Ascension for the online role-playing game Skyforge, as, alongside new content like raids, invasions, and the Gunslinger class, the game will undergo significant changes and simplifications with the addon.
Pantheons – The God Machines
The overloaded guild system of Skyforge will also receive some changes. Our guilds, called “Pantheons,” will have only one relevant value with Ascension: their rank. This provides members with valuable bonuses and at the maximum rank, there are 10 percent more damage and health points available for all members.
Additionally, the detailed management of the Pantheon will be eliminated. Players will now simply collect resources, and when enough are gathered, the Pantheon can be upgraded. All other management functions will now happen automatically and no longer need to be done manually. Further information on the simplified Pantheons can be found under the link in the source reference.
In addition to the revamped Pantheon functions, buyers of the Gunslinger starter pack can already play the cool space cowboy as a new class starting today! However, the Ascension update with all its features will only be released on October 19, 2016.
