After the trailer for the campaign of Battlefield 1, there are now also videos on YouTube with “real” gameplay of the single-player mode.
A few days ago, the singleplayer mode of Battlefield 1 was introduced in a trailer video. The feedback from fans has been positive on YouTube and other platforms – the video has currently been rated positively about 189,000 times and negatively about 3,600 times. In new videos, you can now get an impression of how the campaign begins. However, it is not a new trailer waiting for you, but real, delicious gameplay.
Spoilers ahead!
Battlefield 1 focuses on emotions
Already the mentioned trailer for the single player gave many fans goosebumps. The story, the visual details of the environment and the characters create a special atmosphere in the game. This atmosphere is not only built on a well-edited trailer, but also continues in-game. The new footage of the single-player mode shows what happens in the first minutes of the story. If you don’t want to be spoiled, you shouldn’t watch the video.

The following video is the introduction to the story of Battlefield 1.
If you don’t want to be spoiled, you shouldn’t watch this video either.

In the open beta Moba Paragon, there was a divide in the community with the last patch from last Tuesday. Now, the developer is discussing the measures taken and providing a glimpse into the future.
Surveys and Data
The outcry from the player base of the open beta Moba Paragon was clearly heard in its own forum, as well as on social media, after patch v.32. They removed an exciting game element that had not been found in this form in any other Moba.
The reactions were outrage and disbelief. A statement from the developer was demanded. This statement came just 4 days later after they had some time to evaluate data.
“Take a stand” demanded the community
In the statement itself, the team behind Paragon not only detailed how the implemented changes affected gameplay, but also admitted to possible communication errors. They had repeatedly cited a goal of reducing playtime, but acknowledged that they “did not do a good job communicating the reasons to you.”
Surveys among players found that the most common complaint was the excessive match length. Therefore, Epic aims for an average party duration of 31.5 minutes, emphasizing multiple times that they want faster games, but not at the expense of fun.
Perception and Reality
Critics of the recent changes increasingly pointed out that the competition is no longer present, that it is easy to predict which team will emerge as the winner, leading to one-sided matches with virtually no chance for a comeback. Players cited personal experiences where this would result in more tasks for the losing team, detracting from the fun of the game.
Give up with Narbash? He can drum all night if necessary.
However, Epic Games can counter the fear of increased surrender rates until the statement was made. They noted that due to the current changes, the fluctuations in match duration had actually resulted in fewer tasks than before.
Reasons and Solutions
The previous focus on reducing average playtime was justified by the fact that many players found it nearly impossible to predict how long a match would last. In other words, there was too wide a range, which was due both to average match duration and too many matches at the extreme end of the distribution, specifically the endlessly long battles.
The reasons for such fluctuations have been identified. These involve the map size, the travel mode required due to long paths, and the dunk and defense mechanics introduced with the Orb Prime.
The paths to the goal are long and rocky in Agora
To enable players to better estimate whether there is still time for a second or third match before returning to other activities, adjustments have been made in various areas. For instance, they adjusted the speed and HP of minions, the damage of towers, and removed the Orb Prime along with its associated system.
Through all changes up to and including patch v31.0, an average party duration of 38 minutes was achieved, which is considered a step in the right direction, but still too far from their declared goal. With patch v.32, the party duration of statistical outliers even decreased by 20 minutes. Additionally, they noted less fluctuation in the length of completed matches.
“Hey Sevarog, where is the error?”
Although Epic Games has currently decided to remove the Prime Orb and its mechanics, they emphasize that this does not necessarily mean that it is entirely obsolete. However, they also note that the latest findings would need to be reconsidered before it is re-implemented.
A Glimpse into the Future
To maintain transparency towards its players, they also announced that with the upcoming patch, which arrives on October 4th and will not only bring the newest hero Kwang, there will also be changes to T2 towers and inhibitors that should lead to shorter matches in the late game phases.
After that, they want to concentrate more on hero gameplay, which will also involve the distribution of map power and the earning of XP in the early game phase. They are aware of the current issues associated with reducing playtime.
Kwang, while he only existed on the drawing board
As long as they have approached the topic satisfactorily, they will focus on core gameplay and its “feeling.” After all, they still want a fun and exciting game where every hero gets playtime and feels good.
The upcoming removal of the travel mode is also a concern for some players. Regarding this, developer Epic Games expressed and apologized for not mentioning earlier that with its removal, a new map would also be introduced.
Since they identified the size of the map as one of the problems, they have been working on a new one since June, which has been in internal testing since August. They will address when and how this will ultimately make its way into the game in the coming weeks.
The colorful team eagerly anticipates the future
In conclusion, they confirmed the work on a new, provisional mode and a single-path map, which clever data miners had already uncovered. However, they did not announce when one could expect this.
Pascal’s Assessment:
I have personally been involved in Paragon since day one of the closed beta and have thus witnessed several changes. The removal of the Orb Prime mechanic was probably the most significant and controversially discussed in the community.
Therefore, it is also positive that the developer Epic Games speaks up after a reasonable time, gathers enough data, and documents the impacts, clearly explaining why they acted that way and what is forthcoming (in the near future) for the players.
The road is still long and certainly does not make everyone happy
Perhaps they made errors in communication with the player base that not all reasons for decisions were directly explained. Although Epic Games has often been very open about current developments and frequently illustrated this with diagrams and hard data.
Perhaps the loss of the Orb Prime and the associated tactical plays led to a minor collapse of the previous world for some. After all, they had learned to know and love the system and could still rely on it in the final phase to turn the match in their favor.
What should be clear to every single Paragon enthusiast is that the Moba has only been in open beta since mid-August and that we are still a good way from a concrete final version. Changes, whether small and hardly noticeable or game-altering, are part of daily business.
Whether one wants to stay on top of things consistently or take a break for a few weeks and take another look at the ongoing development is something everyone must decide for themselves. It is not always possible to please everyone, and players will be lost as well as gained over time.
“Jazz Jackrabbit” – The gun-toting rabbit is part of Epic Games’ beginnings
But Epic Games is an old hand with a lot of experience in the gaming industry, having some more well-known and successful titles to show. And even though players never have a full outside perspective, they can trust that everything usually results in a rounded overall picture in the end. I am optimistic regarding Paragon and Epic Games.

The “CoD Infinite Warfare” disc is required to play Modern Warfare Remastered.
“Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered” brings the original “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” into the present: With improved graphics and in high definition, you can relive the full campaign and 10 multiplayer maps from back in the day. Many fans were excited about the announcement of this remastered version – however, there is a catch.
There is only one way to get Modern Warfare Remastered: By purchasing the “Legacy”, “Legacy Pro”, or “Digital Deluxe” edition of “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare”. There is no other way. This is the only way you can download the game to your platform. A separate disc is not available for purchase.
Modern Warfare Remastered only with Infinite Warfare
This information has been known for some time now. Many fans cheered: “Great, I’ll get the new CoD and get the remastered version too”. However, some shooter enthusiasts think: “I’m not really interested in the future setting of Infinite Warfare, but I am in the remastered version”. How can this be reconciled?
If you’ve now come up with a clever plan to get Infinite Warfare, download the remastered version, and sell the IW disc, it won’t work. Because as stated in the fine print on the official website:
Modern Warfare Remastered is a complete game download (game disc must be inserted to play Modern Warfare Remastered).
With this, Activision will likely put a stop to some resales. If you purchase the game digitally, resale is anyway excluded.
From November 4, you can purchase Infinite Warfare for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. PS4 players who have pre-ordered can play the campaign of Modern Warfare Remastered starting October 5.

In Destiny “Rise of Iron” there are numerous secrets, tricks, and interesting information. We summarize these in our extensive guide collection for year 3, for PS4 and Xbox One – in English!
Since the launch of “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” – and basically for weeks in advance – events in Destiny have been happening at a rapid pace. Here a riddle appeared, there a new weapon was discovered, suddenly mites buzzed around the heads of the Guardians – those who didn’t stay on top of things daily missed a lot. And even in the future, there is no end in sight to the flood of information.
Therefore, we now summarize all important guides, instructions, tips, and information so that the experienced Guardians among you have everything in an overview and beginners can find their way more easily.
Note: The following guide overview will be updated gradually.
Everything you need to know about the new PvE activities
For many Guardians, the PvE area is the highlight in Bungie’s MMO shooter. Here you can face the darkness together with your friends and shoot down nasty enemies. With “The Dawning of the Iron Lords”, fresh PvE content has been added.
Raid guide and the biggest secrets in “Wrath of the Machine”
“Wrath of the Machine” is the fourth raid in the game. In it, you confront the true origin of the SIVA outbreak.
Since RoI, there is a new strike called “The Fateful Eye” and two revamped strikes: Sepiks Prime has become Sepiks Perfected and Phogoth has become the Taken Monstrosity.
The biggest novelty in the Crucible, the PvP area of Destiny, is the private matches. Now you can create your own PvP games and compete against each other. Since “Rise of Iron”, there is even more.
Increase Light Level, farm items, artifacts, and other tips and tricks
How do you quickly increase your light level? Where do you have to search for specific items? And what is up with the “Iron Lord” artifacts? We will answer all remaining questions in this section.
Overwatch may soon receive a new option that will make life easier for solo players.
Almost every Overwatch player knows the problem. You play for a cozy evening and get nothing but strange teammates in every round that you would rather send to hell. But then it happens: the perfect team! Friendly teammates, competent communication, and an overall good atmosphere. For a few minutes, you find yourself in paradise and hardly any match could be better – but then it’s already over. The team is torn apart after the game, and everyone looks for a match again as solo players.
This is exactly a point that many players criticize. The user Crimsonhood demanded in the forum: Give us an option to continue playing as a group after the match! Perhaps a button that can be clicked to vote for playing another round with exactly this group. Complicated friend requests would then be eliminated.
Jeff Kaplan has, as often, responded directly in the forum and replied:
“We like this idea. We have some similar ideas that we are currently discussing. We’ll see what we can do.”
While this is not a promise yet, it seems that the developers care about such a feature as well.
Cortyn says: Players have long been demanding a way to form “temporary friendships” with other gamers without the cumbersome process of first having to accept a Battle.net friendship. With such a feature, particularly solo players would more often enjoy competent teammates and thus find more long-term fun in the game. It’s only a matter of time until Blizzard integrates exactly this – or a very similar – feature into Overwatch.
You can find more news and articles about Blizzard’s hero shooter on our Overwatch game page.

Who is ahead in damage? The current numbers from the Nightmare create a clear ranking in World of Warcraft.
While a large portion of players is slowly but surely battling through the heroic mode of the Emerald Nightmare, most are asking: Is my damage sufficient? Which class is currently the best?
The Damage Dealers in the DPS Ranking
Click to enlarge.
Numerous players upload their data to Warcraftlogs, which allows for fairly accurate statistics and statements about the current state of damage numbers. For yesterday, the ranking of damage dealers in the heroic Nightmare was as follows:
Shadow Priest, Fire Mage, and Marksmanship Hunter share the top spots, followed by Retribution Paladin and Arms Warrior.
At the bottom are the Survival Hunter (the new melee variant of the Hunter) and the Frost Mage, who has always had the reputation of being more suited for PvP. Nevertheless, these two specs are quite far “off the mark”.
In general, such statistics should always be taken with a grain of caution, as they do not represent “raw numbers”, but rather the average across different boss fights. In the next raid instance, with entirely different mechanics and a different number of targets, things may look different. Nonetheless, the values indicate that some classes could possibly use a little damage boost – such as the Frost Mage and Survival Hunter.
Are these figures a reason for you to “reroll”? Or do you see it more casually and just wait for the next patch, where everything will change again anyway?
Star Trek Online received an exciting time travel adventure with the expansion Agents of Yesterday, which brought our heroes back to the good old days of Kirk and Co. However, this is just the beginning, as an update is coming soon that will provide us with even more content in the 23rd century. Additionally, the long-awaited graphics update for PC is also on the way.
Agents of Yesterday was a particularly original expansion for Star Trek Online, as it bridged the classic Star Trek and the future of the series. Our characters had to travel back in time to the 23rd century to avert impending doom.
Finally more light!
This exciting story will continue soon, as a major update for the expansion will be released on October 25th. In it, we expect the already known new species of the Lukari asking for our help. Additionally, we will find the space station K-13 trapped in a time anomaly and can even incorporate it into our fleets.
In addition to new quests and story content, the update also brings another innovation. The long-awaited graphics update, which has already been in the excellent console version of STO, is finally coming for PC! With the fantastic lighting effects, the rather old Star Trek Online will shine in a new light on the PC.

Now it is official: There are homosexual couples in World of Warcraft.
However, while violence is a daily occurrence in most games from America, sexuality is mostly absent – at least when it goes beyond a plate bikini.
Love beyond death
With World of Warcraft: Legion, Blizzard is now making a clearer statement about sexual diversity in the MMORPG – because there is homosexuality among Night Elves, and this has been the case for more than 10,000 years. Evidence for this can be found in a quest line that is exclusively available to players with the Enchanting profession. Relatively late in the quest line, you are sent to Azsuna (“Cursed, but useful”) to learn from the spirits of the Night Elves.
There you meet Enchantress Ilanya, who immediately sends you off to find one of her students. This “fallen priestess” is also already a spirit – and a Satyr to boot. 10,000 years ago, the fallen priestess joined the Legion and was then killed by the mortal races. As a spirit, she regrets her actions and wants to be redeemed again. So you kill demons, collect some enchanting materials, and return to the fallen priestess.
I did not trust the “fallen priestess” any further than I could dispel her.
Contrary to all expectations, the Satyr does not lead us astray, but is truly interested in her own redemption. She says:
“There is a place where Enchantress Ilanya and I spent many happy hours together. The love that permeates such a place is stronger than demonic magic.”
And indeed, the redemption succeeds, and the “fallen priestess” takes on the form of Priestess Driana again as a spirit. From her, it is said:
“After the betrayal, I never thought I would face the love of my life again.”
After that, you are sent back to Ilanya, who confirms the whole thing again:
“You have earned the marks of my most loyal friends. Besides, you have brought back my love.”
After that, there are two enchantments, including the “Mark of the Fallen Priestess” – anyone who has this on their weapon as a healer will probably always think of the story of the two Night Elf ladies. Ha.
Cortyn says: For most players, this will just be a side quest that is hardly noticed in order to get the new enchantments. As far as I know, this is the first quest in which there is an obviously homosexual couple in World of Warcraft – feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Therefore, this is also a sign of a pluralistic society – even if it is just a small one. But small steps are still better than none.
In Destiny, we list all the legendary weapons and armor pieces available in Wrath of the Machine, the new raid from “Rise of Iron.”
With “Wrath of the Machine,” the fourth raid entered the Destiny universe. Although it was completed by Guardians just a few hours after the launch, this PvE group activity has much more to offer in the future: Over the next few weeks, information about the hard mode and raid challenges will follow.
There are many reasons to venture into the “Wrath of the Machine”: On one hand, it is considered quite enjoyable and short. On the other hand, you can maximize your Light level. An important reason is also: Here you can find raid-exclusive items that Guardians want to possess. Not only is it the source for Outbreak Prime, but also for several legendary weapons and armor sets.
These are the three raid armor sets
The Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters each receive their own raid armor set, consisting of a helmet, gloves, chest piece, boots, and class item:
Titan: Cosmosclast
Hunter: Nanomania
Warlock: Miasma
These sets are also available in the Splicer version. This one is elegantly black. However, the Spliced items are likely reserved for the heroic raid.
These are the legendary raid weapons
There is one example from each weapon class here:
GENESIS CHAIN~ (GENESIS CHAIN~)
An automatic rifle:
ETHER NOVA~ (ETHER NOVA~)
A fusion rifle:
FEVER AND REMEDY~ (FEVER AND REMEDY~)
A hand cannon:
IF MATERIA~ (IF MATERIA~)
A machine gun:
STEEL MEDULLA~ (STEEL MEDULLA~)
An pulse rifle:
SOUND AND FURY~ (SOUND AND FURY~)
A rocket launcher:
CHAOS DOGMA~ (CHAOS DOGMA~)
A scout rifle:
QUANTIPLASM~ (QUANTIPLASM~)
A shotgun:
ZEAL VECTOR~ (ZEAL VECTOR~)
A pistol:
EX MACHINA~ (EX MACHINA~)
A sniper rifle:
Some of these weapons have a flavor text referring to the Gunsmith’s weapons. For example, the sniper refers to the Eirene.
In addition to various materials, there are also class-specific artifacts, two ghost shells, and a ship in the database:
What do you think of these items?

In a crossover, players explore issues from Dragon’s Dogma Online that don’t quite fit into the world.
In recent years, so-called “crossovers” have become increasingly popular in many games. To promote each other a little, developers simply import particularly prominent features from another game – of course, with the blessing of the respective developer. Fans are excited to showcase cool gear or gimmicks, and if the developers’ plan works, new players become interested in the other game.
Dragon’s Dogma Online is now jumping on this bandwagon and is hosting a corresponding event in October. Various characters and costumes from the anime-style RPG “Persona 5” (by Atlus, who also developed Catherine ) appear in the medieval world of DDO. There are a number of quests to solve, all with a mysterious background – these are also clear references to the typical mystery setting of Persona.

Playstation VR, Sony’s competitor to the Oculus Rift, will be released on October 13th and various games will also be available at launch. Eight of them are even included on a demo disc in the package. Here is the list of games.
What good is a fancy new VR headset if there are no games for it? Sony thought about that too, which is why a whole bunch of games that support the new technology will launch with the Playstation VR on October 13th.
Eight Titles to Try Out
The following eight titles will also come with a demo disc at the launch of the headset. The full versions are either already available at launch or will be coming soon.
EVE: Valkyrie – Intense Space Battles and Virtual Gender Transformation
The flagship VR game EVE: Valkyrie must not be missing on the Playstation VR, and therefore the space shooter in the EVE universe is of course on the demo disc. In EVE: Valkyrie, we pilot a space fighter in extremely intense space battles, optionally with virtual breasts, when we create a female avatar.
Driveclub VR – Just Like the Real Car!
For those who prefer good old cars rather than spaceships, you can jump behind a virtual steering wheel in Driveclub VR and race in extremely intense races. Just be careful not to fall off your chair in tight turns!
Battlezone – Full of Retro Charm
Battlezone proves that modern technology fits wonderfully with nostalgia. The game with virtual future tanks is based on the original from the 80s and impresses with a crazy look in neon colors.
Hustle Kings VR Pool for the Living Room
If you don’t always want to go to shabby and smoky bars to play pool and also don’t want to risk someone hitting you over the head with a beer bottle or a stick, you can also have realistic pool fun at home with this game.
Playstation VR Worlds – The Demo Package
This is a complete package of five small VR games. Included are the gangster shooter London Heist, the diving simulator Ocean Descent, the space treasure hunt Scavenger Odyssey, the racing game VR Luge, and the sci-fi sports game Danger Ball.
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League – The Mech Sports Shooting
This game offers us big mechs, crazy arenas, and plenty of shooting. It presents itself as a sports spectacle of the future. Sounds cool!
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood – Jump Scares Galore!
Few genres fit VR better than horror games. Therefore, the zombie slaughter Until Dawn must not be missing on the PSVR. But beware, if you are too easily frightened, you should think carefully about this game beforehand.
Super Stardust Ultra VR – The Classic
This space shooting game has existed for ages in various versions, and therefore an extra immense version on the Playstation VR cannot be missed.
Loading Human Chapter 1 – The VR Adventure
In this adventure game, we are searching for a mysterious energy source. The special feature of this game is that it will be released in episodes, allowing us to gradually dive deeper into the story.
Horror and the Virtual Sports Bar – More to Come
In addition to the eight demo titles, information will gradually be released about additional launch titles of the Playstation VR. One of them is called SportsBarVR and is exactly that. A virtual sports pub where you can hang out comfortably. Although a VR beer doesn’t really taste like anything, that can be compensated with a real brew prepared at the same time. More importantly, the VR bar provides a virtual meeting place for players and numerous bar games like darts, pool, air hockey, chess, and shuffleboard. Plus, we can have virtual fights! Ideal if you want to avoid real pubs but still enjoy the atmosphere at home.

Less sociable is the psychological horror game “Here They Lie”. This horror game plays with primal fears and surreal images that take us into a disturbing and distorted nightmare world full of bizarre and disgusting creatures. Guaranteed not for the faint-hearted!

A new area has been discovered in Destiny. Is it connected to a secret, similar to that of the Black Spindle?
“Rise of Iron” holds numerous secrets for the Guardians. The possibly most extensive and complex one has already been solved: The exotic raid pulse rifle Outbreak Perfected has been found by savvy players.
Now some Guardians are working on a new riddle: A user managed to glitch into the gigantic Ketch that all of you have already seen when playing the story missions of “The Dawn of Iron Lords”. This massive ship has little function so far – it contains a few enemies and the blueprint for the Khvostov 7G-0X. But it didn’t require such a huge Ketch for that.
The self-proclaimed Destiny glitcher CloudLXXXV GAMING now shows that this ship indeed contains more than was previously known. He entered a completely new area in this Ketch, which looks like part of an unknown story mission. The location is called: “Splicership Menkis-Syn”. In the following video, you can see how the Guardian reaches this place and what it looks like:

You can only access the Ketch by starting in the Corrupted Lands. In the mission “When the Walls Fall,” a few words are even said about it. Therefore, rumors are circulating: If this mission one day becomes the Daily Story Mission, the entire area in the Ketch will be accessible. Comparisons are being drawn to the Black Spindle, which is also tied to a Daily Story Mission.
So far, “When the Walls Fall” has not yet been featured as a Daily Mission. And it should also be noted that all the above hints are mere speculations. But we can be sure that if this mission one day becomes Daily, many Guardians will turn over every stone in it.
What do you think, what could “Splicership Menkis-Syn” be about?

Tyrande is the new priestess in Hearthstone. We will tell you how to get her.
A few days ago, it was discovered from the game data of Hearthstone that there will soon be a new playable character. The High Priestess of Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind, joins Anduin in the role of a priest and is now available in Blizzard’s card game.
However, Tyrande cannot be purchased in the shop as usual, but will be unlocked through a special promotional event. Basically, it involves opting to try out the “Prime” service from Twitch. For this, it is necessary to link your “Amazon Prime” account with your Twitch account.

If you already have “Amazon Prime”? Then you just need to connect with your Twitch account.
On the other hand, if you are not an “Amazon Prime” customer, you can try the service for free for one month, and also link your accounts and unlock Tyrande.
After that, you can view your profile on the Twitch page and will have a new listing on the left called “Free with Prime,” where Tyrande is also located. Here you can request a code and then enter it in the Battle.net launcher under “Redeem Code.” The next time you start Hearthstone, Tyrande will be unlocked!
A fresh card back is also included.
However, since Amazon Prime automatically converts to a “normal subscription” after the trial period, you should cancel the service within the trial month if you do not want to keep it.
Cortyn says: At least in the comments on the official site, the whole event is received rather negatively, and many fans would have preferred to “simply pay 10 euros.” In the end, Tyrande is also not really “free,” as you pay with your data. Anyone who links the accounts should not be surprised if, after hours of consuming Twitch channels, Amazon suddenly offers suitable products. If you have no problems with that, you can quickly gain a heroine in Hearthstone.

Even the Chinese now have to pay in advance for WoW – and surprisingly, this is working without significant losses. Quite the contrary.
When comparing the Asian market for online games with the Western market, some things stand out immediately. In the West, it is quite common to pay for games in advance and then “have peace of mind” or spend money through a subscription model. In Asia, it is often different. Free2Play titles have dominated the market, and Pay2Play and Buy2Play titles have struggled – at least until now.
More Revenue Despite Transition to Subscription Model
With the release of the “Legion” expansion, World of Warcraft has changed its payment model in China: Chinese players must now also subscribe. Previously, players could pay by the hour for exactly the amount of time they spent in Azeroth. As reported by Superdata, the transition did not lead to the feared (and predicted by angry players) drop in revenue in China, but achieved the opposite: In contrast to the $8 million in July, NetEase (the WoW publisher in China) generated $37 million in revenue in August.
A large part of this revenue surely comes from the direct sale of the expansion. Nevertheless, these revenues show that Legion is also a success in China – only League of Legends was able to earn more in August. This transition also proves that even the “difficult” Asian market can be convinced to spend money in advance for games and that not only Free2Play titles can be successful. Especially World of Warcraft and Overwatch have prompted many Chinese to spend money in advance for a game – which is “normal” for us, but rather an exception in China.
Chinese players had time prior to these changes to exchange their already purchased playtime for “subscription days”.
There was a rumor recently about Battleborn that the hero shooter from Gearbox would soon become free2play. This has now been denied by Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford.
Battleborn is still doing poorly and only a few players dare to log on to the servers of the colorful and wacky hero shooter with crude humor and crazy characters. Therefore, many players are already hoping that Battleborn will soon follow the path of Evolve and finally become Free2Play.
Battleborn is going Free2Play! No, just kidding!
This is why many fans were also excited when the website Kotaku released the headline “Battleborn is going Free2Play soon!” As early as this November, the unfortunate game is supposed to get a new chance as a free version.
But soon came the disappointment when Gearbox head Randy Pitchford spoke out on Twitter. “Battleborn will not be Free2Play” was his statement. Instead, there will be a demo at some point, allowing interested players to test the game. However, he definitely rules out a Free2Play version.
What do you think about this? Should Battleborn finally become free2play or is it all worthless anyway? And what do you think about the plans to offer a free demo version?

What’s inside the single player of Titanfall 2 can be seen in the scenes of the new cinematic trailer.
The trailer deals with the role of the Pilot, which plays an important part in battles. Action scenes make it clear that the Pilot’s movements need to be quick and agile. Long jumps and wall-running are standard on the battlefields. In the video, a voice-over explains the Pilot’s mission to the viewers.
“Pilots fight differently”
At the beginning of the trailer, action scenes on the battlefield show various maneuvers of a Pilot. As the narrator explains, Pilots are not only sharp-witted and resourceful but also relentless. Pilots have a different perspective on the world and fight differently than “normal”. Even when the odds look bad, the tide often turns in their favor. The connection between Pilot and Titan is the significant difference compared to other Grunts and machines on the battlefields.

As it turns out, the narrator in the video is the protagonist of the game. He starts as a simple rifleman and has a long way ahead of him before he becomes a Pilot. You can accompany him on this journey.
In this offline single-player campaign, you have a story that presumably holds a lot of action for you. In addition to the multiplayer, fans of the single player have a full-fledged mode where they can prove their skills. Titanfall 2 will be released on October 28 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

If you don’t have a good internet connection, you shouldn’t play ranked in Overwatch . That’s not just what we say, but Jeff Kaplan says it too.
The nice thing about the Overwatch forums is that the Game Director Jeff Kaplan regularly speaks on all topics. He even responded to a forum post that would have quickly sunk to the bottom due to quite a few “Downvotes” from other users.
Player SUPMRE pointed out that there is currently a bug in Overwatch that prevents players from rejoining a ranked match after a disconnect. If you manage to rejoin after about 30 seconds, you may still receive an account penalty.
Since the player lives in a rural area with poor internet, regular disconnects are a part of everyday life for him, which has led to him being banned for the rest of the season, even though he claims to have always returned to the game within the 60-second limit.
The internet not working? Then you should stay away from ranked.
Jeff Kaplan responded and confirmed that there is currently a bug, but they are aware of it. More extensive changes can be expected in about two weeks. But beyond that, Kaplan took a further stand:
“Until then, if you have a poor internet connection, I would recommend not playing the ranked mode. To be honest, if you have a poor internet connection, I would even advise against playing the ranked mode, even after the patch. Even brief interruptions due to disconnections and reconnections put your team at a massive disadvantage.”
Cortyn says: Even though you can expect such a statement from the Game Director to trigger players like “But I paid €50! I should and want to play Competitive!!!11one” I can only agree with this statement. Living in a region with poor internet is a burden for all other players and only leads to 11 other people rolling their eyes in frustration.

Paragon is getting an Asian addition. What is of course missing? Right: An unrealistically oversized, completely exaggerated and unwieldy giant sword that wants to electrify you.
Raiden meets Noctis
If there’s one thing you can credit Paragon developer Epic Games for, it’s that they keep to their own schedule. True to the hashtag #Every3Weeks, a new melee fighter will join the roster of heroes starting this coming Tuesday, October 4.
The good one is named “Kwang” and could easily be seen as a mix of Final Fantasy XV’s “Noctis” and Mortal Kombat’s “Raiden.” Or Smite’s Susanoo. Or Raijin. Or one of the almost countless other thunder gods from Japanese mythology.

Kwang and his sword will try to electrify you in combat and give you more than just a small shock. However, the melee fighter should not only be approached with caution at close range, as he is capable of throwing his sword in your direction, thus bringing the fight to you faster than you might like.
Upon landing in the ground, it deals damage in a certain radius and pulls in enemies. However, if it is still coming towards you, it might be that in the next second, not just the silver behemoth but also the whole guy stands before you, as he can teleport to his sharp companion with his ultimate ability to directly attack with a sword whirl afterwards.
The core must be destroyed – the goal of many Mobas
In addition to these tricks, he has the ability “Light of the Heavens” which provides both area damage and physical and energy armor, and via passive, Kwang and allies in the area also gain life steal. An almost all-rounder Asian, recommended by Epic Games for initiating team fights.
“Destroy the Core” Reloaded
There are still a few days until Kwang’s official release. To shorten the wait for him a bit, you can still participate in the event “Destroy the Core” until Monday, 3 PM, which was once a community task.
The goal is to reach 1.8 million destroyed cores, which translates to 360,000 completed games. This counts both regularly won and (given up by the generic team) matches. Players who contribute to the event can win up to 30,000 reputation.
Rampage is “not amused” about the current changes
If you don’t know what to do with the extra time over the extended weekend, a look into Paragon might be something for you. Or are you part of the predominantly upset player base that no longer understands the world after the last patch? If you missed that, you can read here again what happened.

In Destiny, we take a look at the Trials gear that was introduced with “Rise of Iron”.
On September 30, the Trials of Osiris returned for the first time after the launch of the “The Rise of Iron” expansion. However, it is only available on PS4 and Xbox One. Those still on the old consoles need to upgrade their gaming setup in the living room to participate in the weekly PvP event.
The “Year 3” Trials remain largely the same as they were known from Year 2: The contact person is still Brother Vance at the Vestian Outpost, who provides you with the trial ticket and bounties, the mode remains elimination, and the ultimate goal is still the Lighthouse on Mercury.
Some changes in the Trials did occur, which we summarize here. Important new features include all new weapons and armor pieces that Guardians can now hunt.
