The Game Director of The Secret World spoke in a large interview about his MMO and its unique features.
The French site JeuxOnline hosted Romain Amiel, the Game Director of The Secret World, for an interview. He explained why the last year was so busy for The Secret World. They moved to a larger studio, which accelerated everything. For Amiel, it was a top priority this year to bring Season 1 narratively to a close. Season 2, he revealed, is already fully written. And so is the one after that.
Raid Issue Was Not Very Well Received
Additionally, with Issue 12 in August 2015 there was a major focus on raids and dungeons, something he had wished for a long time and worked on during Age of Conan. Amiel was also under some pressure to implement this, as he had the green light for raids at that moment but didn’t know if it would remain that way.

However, Amiel admits that Issue 12 did not sell as well as others. Many players are not very interested in the dungeon aspect of the game. The main part of The Secret World is the story, and that remains the top priority.
Later in the interview, Amiel hinted that he and the team have an even more ambitious concept for housing than the recently introduced museum. However, it is uncertain whether it can ever be realized. It would likely be extremely elaborate.

In the sandbox MMO ArcheAge guilds play a particularly important role because without enough players many of the game’s exclusive features simply don’t work. No proud ship sets sail without a sufficiently large crew, and if you want to found your own nation , you need enough trustworthy people who take on the most important roles in the new state and haul in massive resources. Read here about the reasons for joining a guild in ArcheAge.
Guilds have been a staple in the genre since the early days of online role-playing games, and whether they are called clans, alliances or even pantheon, guilds simply belong to an MMORPG . However, while in many games the guild is merely “nice to have” and most content can easily be completed alone or with random groups, in the sandpark MMO ArcheAge by Trion Worlds we actually need to belong to such a player association if we want to utilize some of the coolest features and unique selling points of the game.

A shipping journey is fun, especially with a guild
Ships are an important element of ArcheAge and the seas are full of vessels sailing around and cannonading or boarding each other. While each player can build a small rowboat on their own, creating decent ships requires so many resources that doing it alone is quite difficult. Here, a well-equipped guild is almost mandatory, and those who want a prestigious giant ship like the famous Black Pearl cannot avoid spending many hours of work and gathering massive materials.
Building a large ship is by no means the end, as what good is such a big vessel if it just sits pretty but useless in the harbor, collecting barnacles and seaweed? Such a ship must go out to sea to transport goods or to sail as a pirate ship to take away others’ possessions. But it’s hard to sail without a crew, so we again need a well-organized guild to provide the necessary crew and possess appropriate skills.
The elaborate and complex sailing system in ArcheAge makes guilds as ship-owning communities more than useful. Moreover, it is simply a great feeling to work together as a guild and finally build a prestige item like a Black Pearl after days of hard work. Since sailing is also such an integral part of the game, any player without a corresponding guild would lose quite a bit of enjoyment from the game. Only those who are members can enjoy opulent sailing journeys and epic naval battles!
From castle to kingdom!
Ships are nice and all, but operating a virtual shipping company or pirate band is far less impressive than witnessing the rise of a nation of your own! And this has been possible in ArcheAge since June 2016 with the Update 2.9 “Selection” as well. While guilds previously sought a common residential area, essentially founding their own village or city, the thinking now is on a larger scale. Nations are a union of various guilds and dozens of players into a strong empire that stands on par with the established factions of Nuia and Haranya.
A nation originates from a castle, which we can also expand into a strong fortress with an attached city. While players outside the guild are allowed to help here, it is especially cool when the same emblem is displayed on the towers of the fortress as on our guild badge. This fosters a good sense of belonging and cohesion in the group. The castle along with the associated city can become even more when we maximize its expansion.
For the prince!
Once the capitol in the castle reaches level 8, we can set off a chain of events that ends in the birth of our nation. In this process, we have to personally deliver various declarations and sovereignty signs to certain NPCs, while the entire world learns about our plans via server message and may sabotage our nation-building efforts.
Therefore, it is essential that we have our guild homies ready to protect the player acting as the courier on his perilous journey from other players. Additionally, we need a lot of materials for insignia of sovereignty, like the royal seal or the national flag, which we first have to farm together. This is only possible with a large, well-organized guild.
The birth of a nation
Once we have everything together, we must gather 50 players in the capital of our future kingdom, and only when they swear allegiance to us via emote will our guild nation be ceremoniously founded through a cutscene and proudly hoist our self-designed national flag.
An emotional moment, which is already a good reason to join a guild. Besides the leader of the new nation, called the Sovereign, up to 10 deserving players are represented in the Council of Heroes, a kind of advisory council to the leader and effectively the “officers” of the nation.
Our prince has the bigger… dragon!
The sovereigns of the nations have all sorts of privileges. First, they can collect taxes from their castles every day, amassing unimaginable wealth. Good leaders distribute the profits fairly so there is no unrest in the nation. However, improved tax revenues are not the only privilege of the nation’s prince.
Whereas heads of state in real life are chauffeured around in private jets and limousines, the sovereign in ArcheAge has an even cooler mode of transportation. Nothing less than a dragon known as a “Lindwurm” is his mount, and to raise such a monster takes at least a month of gathering various materials that must first be collected by diligent guild members. Thereafter, the prince may ride on a golden Lindwurm for 21 days and even use the beast in battle!
The ultimate sense of belonging
Thus, it is already an emotional moment when the nation meets for the great PvP brawl and our sovereign leads us into battle on the back of a dragon that we, along with our guild mates, were significantly involved in raising. So, anyone who values the “MM” in MMORPG and has no desire for individual combat will definitely find satisfaction in ArcheAge.
The founding of nations is already possible, but with the upcoming update 3.0 “Revelation” two cool new races will be added, and a complete restart is possible on new servers. Ideal for all players who want to build something in ArcheAge right from the start – for example, their own nation! Want to read more about it? ArcheAge is starting a new beginning with Update 3.0 Revelation!
Balancing in an online game is a delicate matter, and developers often need to fine-tune to ensure fairness. This is also the case in Elite: Dangerous.
With the Engineer update, heat weapons would be introduced in the space game. However, many players found them overpowered, as there was basically no way to escape the attack of such weapons. Yet the developers did not want to listen, which is why the griefing gang Smiling Dog Crew announced Operation SpicyBois. They explained that they would commit acts of terrorism in the game and grill all players with heat weapons until the developers reacted.
Heat weapons were nerfed
They called on all players to participate in the action by documenting the gang’s kills and keeping them on screenshots and spreading it all. They actually meant no harm but were using terrorism as a means to an end – for freedom. After a few weeks, the developers finally reacted and nerfed the heat weapons. These weapons can now no longer cause modular damage on their own.
The developers stated that they were already aware of the problem and had to work on it for some time. The change had nothing to do with Operation SpicyBois. Nevertheless, many players thank the griefing gang Smiling Dog Crew, even though they are anything but popular in Elite: Dangerous.
In Riders of Icarus the great PvP battles in the game mode Manastone Battles are not played the way the developers would like. Therefore, there will soon be changes to the alliances system and the Manastone Battles.
The developers of Riders of Icarus had a nice idea: In the game mode “Manastone Battles”, alliances of players are supposed to face each other and seek the decision on the battlefield without matchmaking. For this, there are rewards like a particularly cool buff.
They should fight properly!
Unfortunately, the developers did not take some players into account, because instead of beating each other to a pulp, large mega-alliances dominate the battlefield, playing the victory into each other’s hands, so that everyone in the large alliances gets the buff at some point. Small guilds and alliances as well as the militia faction are left out and get nothing from the cake besides the giant alliances that feed each other.
Moreover, such an approach is not very exciting and borders on an exploit. Therefore, the developers want to intervene now. Since the problem is apparently not easy to solve, the developers have announced a drastic step and will completely disable both alliances and “Alliance War”. Manastone Battles will continue, but only between guilds and the militia. The latter may actively join guilds ranked 3 and above. Additionally, players will be able to borrow PvP gear, which should lead to a more exciting battle.
Update: This is the way to the new exotic pulse rifle! (not complete)
Recently, we reported on the monitor puzzle in Wrath of the Machine. When well-hidden monitors are activated in the new raid, deadly laser beams that protect a chest are disabled. So far, many beams have been deactivated – all except one. People have been racking their brains over how the puzzle could be solved.
Now it seems that streamer Datto and his fireteam have managed to reach the chest. On reddit, the necessary steps are listed. We will translate them into German.
First confusing, then complicated, then the solution, then a quest
3. In the “Diamond Room,” four Guardians must stand on four canisters. The order in time does not matter. Stand on the following marked canisters:
4. In the server room, the two other Guardians must stand on the two platforms to the left and right of the monitors. As soon as everyone has taken their position, the Guardians in the server room will see “activate monitor”.
5. Now, the four Guardians in the Diamond Room step down from the canisters and onto the bridge.
6. Now it gets complicated
Only one Guardian has to press “Activate Monitor”.
A number will now light up on each monitor. This can be 0000 or another number.
The left monitor is the “column”.
The right monitor is the “row”.
You now need to convert the numbers into decimal numbers. For this, this site is useful.
Now, the first person in area 00 enters the respective canister (You can see the areas in the upper graphic). When he enters it, the canister lights up from below.
Now a new number appears on both monitors. Convert this and the person in area 01 enters their canister. You do this for all 4 Guardians.
Once you have done this, the diamond opens.
7. Next step: Complete the raid and defeat Aksis.
8. Now go to the room with the hidden chest. A platform should now open here. Activate the last monitor and open the chest.
The new quest – for the exotic pulse rifle?
Now you will receive a quest series named: Channeling the Corruption.
The first quest step: “Be The Battery”:
Complete tasks with a fireteam consisting of a Hunter, a Titan, and a Warlock. These include: A nightfall strike, three public events in the Plaguelands, three Crucible matches or heroic strikes, and 50 kills with a pulse rifle.
Second quest step: “That Light May Bind”:
Synchronize the “SIVA Engine’s Energy Flow”. Here you have to solve a puzzle and show some mathematical skill. Each person’s number is different.
Third quest step: “Parts of a Whole”:
Attack Fallen in the Plaguelands. Collect the SIVA technology that Shiro-4 needs. You need to defeat Sepiks Perfected, participate in the Archon Forge three times, and explore the Plaguelands.
Then you need to arrange energy inputs. The solution has already been found. 1 is on top, 4 is on the bottom:
Warlock is 13334
Titan is 42123
Hunter is 24414
These are the steps provided on reddit so far.
Everything is still quite complicated. Keep in mind that these are just the statements and screenshots of one Guardian. Reports and confirmations from other users are still pending at the time this article was written.
Outbreak Prime has been found!
Update: The user was able to obtain the new exotic pulse rifle with the quest series. It is called “Outbreak Prime” and has the predicted perks. Here is a screenshot of how he receives it from Shiro:
Outbreak Prime comes with a light level of 390. It has the perk Virulence: Precision kills cause SIVA bombs to stream from the weapon, attacking nearby enemies.
Phew, what do you think about that?

Have a nice Wednesday everyone! If our servers hold up today, you’ll read this article on time at 11 – if not, I’m writing it just for myself, yay! Let’s get straight to the point: Warcraft and its many Elven races. Yesterday I had quite a long and animated discussion about the lore of World of Warcraft – if you can’t relate, you should quickly click away.
Like the Blood Elves – only better
With the expansion “Legion”, World of Warcraft introduced a “new old” Elven race that had never appeared in the story before. That in itself is not a big problem, because if you want to expand a world, new elements must be added. But when you look at Nightborne and Blood Elves, you find quite a few parallels.
Seclusion from the rest of the world: Quel’thalas and Suramar were long protected by barriers.
Magic addiction that has been exacerbated over centuries.
A source of nearly inexhaustible arcane energies: The Sunwell and its counterpart, the Moonwell.
stylish ears
When the Blood Elves were introduced in “The Burning Crusade”, they had quite a significant issue with their mana addiction. The Sunwell was corrupted, and they had to rely on Fel magic and leeching from a Naaru to quench their thirst. Unfortunately, the problems of the Blood Elves were completely resolved in TBC: By the end, the Sunwell was cleansed with Light, and all Elves are (basically) doing wonderfully again.
When you look around in Suramar, you often get the impression: “Wow, that’s how Blood Elves should be” and “That would have been cool with the Blood Elves!” The vineyards, Shal’Aran, the whole area around the capital, the singing children in the city – all of this creates a much prettier, darker, and more thoughtful image than back then with the Blood Elves. Sure, time moves on, and technology has advanced 10 years. But the fact that Silvermoon is still at the state of BC doesn’t really help.
What also troubles me is the simple knowledge that nothing “drastic” can ever happen with the Blood Elves, such as a change of loyalties. Story-wise, it would make sense for the Blood Elves to reunite with the (still remaining) High Elves or even join the Alliance. But that simply can’t happen for one reason: Player characters. It would mean a shift for players.
This brings me to another thing that really bothers me about MMORPGs: The static nature of the story. Sure, with Legion there are quite a few cool stories. But you can never expect any real “blockbusters”, such as the destruction of one of the major factions. In those moments, I wish again for a Warcraft 4 – but it probably won’t happen in this decade.
Maybe what bothers me about the well-thought-out coolness of the Nightborne is that the Blood Elves behind them fade away completely and seem utterly boring. But hey, you can’t have it all.

In Black Desert Online, an update is coming today and this time there is the long-awaited Awakening weapon for the Berserker. Instead of two axes, the giant now fights with a gauntlet and a cannon fist in the sandbox MMO.
The Warrior loves his two-handed sword, the Sorceress is still enchanted by her scythe, and the big fat Berserker no longer has to cry, because he also gets a new toy today! The Awakening weapon of the clumsy giant is a thick cannon that he has attached to his arm. He also wears an armored glove on the other arm.

With this combination, he beats opponents in close combat and when a cowardly enemy attacks from a distance, he shoots them with a cannon throwing some pounds of lead at them. We have embedded all of this in an impressive video here for you. Besides the new weapon, there are a few bug fixes and the upcoming ocean content is being prepared. The servers of Black Desert Online are offline due to maintenance from 10:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM.

The stagnant meta and the random factor are still important topics for the Hearthstone community.
The complaints about Hearthstone are similar every few months, yet Blizzard fails to address these issues in the long term: The meta is stagnant. In the ranked play mode, the same decks prevail and a real change hasn’t been brought by “One Night in Karazhan” either. The best decks have only gotten a little better, while new ideas are often snuffed out in their infancy.
The well-known pro player Brian Kibler has shared his thoughts on this subject and discussed what Hearthstone needs: More cards in a shorter time and fewer changes to already existing cards. Because that would only further alienate fans from the game.
Additionally, he criticizes the “Wild” format, which is hardly used due to nerfs on various cards. Those who played a cool Handlock with “Melted Giants” back then can no longer have that experience – because the giant is now simply a very bad card.
Randomness is important, but perception is wrong
Another problem is the random factor in Hearthstone – however, not the factor itself, but how it is perceived by players. Especially Yogg-Saron is seen in a negative light, although he very rarely decides a game. When Yogg-Saron is played at the end of a match, viewers often forget how it looked before Yogg-Saron and readily claim “Yogg won the game”, even if the Yogg player was already winning (and sometimes even when Yogg caused more negative effects).
Kibler believes that the random factor is important for a game like Hearthstone, as otherwise – unlike a physical card game – it would be too boring, given that the conditions are quite rigid.

Preliminary patch notes for The Division update 1.4 have been released. They are significant.
Massive repeatedly emphasized that the October update 1.4 would be huge. Phrases like “The entire player experience will be overhauled” and “Core features will be renewed” were common. And now the realization comes: Massive did not understate.
Last night, they presented all the changes that have been made so far. The following patch notes cover the new features between update 1.3 and the build on the PTS, which are the public test servers that are currently live. You can already test the following changes.
Note: These patch notes are not final. They must first pass the PTS phase before being released with update 1.4. Changes are still possible and likely.
The biggest new feature: World Tiers
Once you reach level 30, you can set the World Level, the “World Tiers”,. These determine the level of all NPCs and the quality of loot. The following applies:
Tier 1: Enemy Level 30, Loot Score 163
Tier 2: Enemy Level 31, Loot Score 182. Additionally, the “Challenging” difficulty and incursions will be unlocked.
Tier 3: Enemy Level 32, Loot Score 204
Tier 4: Enemy Level 33, Loot Score 229
There are also various difficulty levels (Normal, Hard, Challenging) in the tiers, which grant you more loot.
“Heroic” will no longer be available for any activity. A few weeks ago, it was still said that it would remain in incursions. Apparently, that is not the case now.
Numerous other new features
The patch notes are so detailed that we cannot translate them all here. Some specific aspects will be examined in more detail in future articles. Now let’s look at the most exciting changes:
UI Improvements: Weapon skins no longer take up inventory space. Additionally, you can no longer open the inventory while suffering from status effects.
Gameplay Innovations: The “Time-to-Kill” for NPCs has been reduced. You will become powerful again. Many improvements are also being made to the AI of enemies. Furthermore: After level 30, the ammunition capacity for players is expected to double. In the Dark Zone, you can now see on the map how far away the rogues are: The display will get larger the closer the rogues are.
Merchants: Once you are level 30, merchants will sell items with a gear score between 163 and 229. They will sell more high-end and gear set items. Additionally, they will have random gear sets available each week.
Open World: Bosses in the open world are making a comeback. They will respawn every 24 hours.
There will be detailed gear set changes that you can read about here. So far, the talents of B.L.I.N.D and Retrieval are still disabled and need to be reworked.
Additionally, rewards in missions, weapon and armor talents, and skills have been revised. We will look at these aspects individually soon. In the meantime, you can find them here in English in the patch notes for the PTS.
The hotfix in WoW: Legion is now live, but at the last minute there were some adjustments, especially for Shadow Priests.
Hotfixes generally only address minor issues within World of Warcraft, but the latest adjustments have caused quite a stir. Especially Shadow Priests were not at all satisfied with the change to their class and considered themselves the big losers of the balancing adjustments.
A nerf turned into a buff
In the meantime, there have been further changes that became active with today’s maintenance (September 28, 2016). Here are the updated changes for Shadow Priests:
The damage of Mind Explosion has been increased by 80% and the insanity generation by 50%.
Mind Flay now deals 20% more damage.
Mind Spike now deals 28% more damage.
The stacks of the talent Voidform are now limited to 4 (formerly 5).
No further stacks of Voidform are generated during Dispersion.
It is certainly noteworthy that the priests have had the effect of “Void Torrent” returned to them, as this was where the greatest concerns lay. It is also welcomed that the changes now have a clear buff effect overall.
However, the developers are still dissatisfied with the talent “Descent into Madness,” as some players manage to maintain the effect much longer than originally intended. Making a change here would now alter the entire gameplay of the Shadow Priest – thus, the resolution of the problem is temporarily postponed to the future.
Aside from these changes, a few additional bug fixes have also made it into the hotfix. For instance, Nomi is now easier to click in a well-visited kitchen, and the various NPCs of Suramar no longer detect stealthy players right at the start of their “Arcane Investigation.”
In Destiny, there are new rumors about the sequel Destiny 2. Big changes are expected.
Destiny 2 is a major sequel from Bungie’s MMO shooter, expected in 2017. While most players are currently looking at the recently released “The Rise of Iron” expansion, Bungie is hard at work on the successor. We reported weeks ago that a large part of the staff is already working on Destiny 2. According to Kotaku, several sources have now emerged with further clues about Destiny 2.
Several sources reportedly agree that Destiny 2 will also be released on PC alongside PS4 and Xbox One. So far, the shooter is exclusive to consoles.
The PC rumor first appeared on NeoGraf, later a GAF poster wrote that a friend from Activision told him that the Destiny sequel will indeed be released on PC. Allegedly, the publisher recently informed the staff about this during an international presentation. The user also provided another piece of information:
The studio Vicarious Visions, which is part of Activision, is said to be helping to develop Destiny 2.
There has been speculation for years that Destiny could one day come to PC, and Bungie has always been quite vague about it. It is not surprising that there is a desire for this within the player community and that this opens up a new market for the decision-makers.
Destiny 2 is expected to be a completely different game
A few weeks ago, we reported on the info that Destiny 2 will bring “shocking changes”. What this entails could only be speculated. Now, a person familiar with Bungie is quoted:
Destiny 2 is a completely different game. The Taken King was a reboot of Destiny 1 to fix small things. This [Destiny 2] is the overhaul for the big things.
According to sources, for example, the activity model in Destiny’s open world is to be renewed. The areas on planets will be populated with cities, outposts, and more quests, which are expected to be more interesting than the current patrol missions.
However, this information is not official. What will happen with your current characters remains unknown. But it will definitely be exciting to see what information will come out about Destiny 2 in the future.
There were issues with this week’s Nightfall in Destiny. Bungie pulls the plug and introduces a new Nightfall strike.
This week, starting from September 27th, the Winterstorm Strike was supposed to be the Nightfall. However, Guardians noticed shortly after the weekly reset: Oh no, something is wrong! Because no Skeleton Keys were dropping as rewards. Absolutely none at all.
About two hours ago, Bungie tweeted that they are now investigating the problem. It turns out that the Winterstorm Nightfall strike would not reward Guardians with Skeleton Keys.
However, they couldn’t get a handle on the issues. Just now, the message came: Folks, to solve the problem with the Skeleton Keys, we are changing the Nightfall strike. From now on, the strike will be “Fallen S.A.B.E.R.”.
The modifiers remain unchanged.
Have fun, Guardians. The sought-after keys should start dropping again.
DC Universe Online is going on a values diet and is parting ways with some meta-stats.
Although DC Universe Online had some momentum in spring 2016 from the late port to Xbox One, it basically faces the same problems as the other comic superhero game across the river.
Just like Marvel Heroes, it is Free2Play and has an incredibly strong license that regularly attracts new players. But while the gameplay may seem simple at first glance, it is surprisingly complex upon closer inspection.
First video impressions of the single-player campaign in Battlefield 1. The system requirements show whether your computer is powerful enough for the game.
The release of Battlefield 1 is approaching, and the developers are preparing the fans. After introducing the maps and game modes that will be available at launch, they provided a deeper insight into the melee techniques. The trailer for the Battlefield 1 campaign was released today and shows what awaits you besides the multiplayer battles in the game.
Singleplayer trailer of Battlefield 1
In the video, you get an impression of what to expect in the single-player mode of Battlefield 1. In the storyline of the game, you take on the roles of a combat pilot, are part of a tank crew, or must show what you can do as a rebel fighter. But the role of a runner is also important to complete certain missions.

In FIFA 17, we look at which top strikers can be found in FUT 17. We also examine the best forwards from the Bundesliga.
In every Ultimate Team, there should be players with a “goal-scorer mentality,” meaning players who can reliably find the net. Strikers with a strong finishing ability and excellent heading skills are in demand – and ideally, they are fast as well.
However, there is a problem: In FUT 17, the best strikers with an overall rating above 90 are not cheap – you either have to play for a long time or rely on luck to have a Lewandowski or a Suárez in your team.
Now let’s take a look at the 10 best strikers in FIFA 17.

On the field, there are numerous players who take on an offensive role. In addition to strikers, there are also wingers, such as Ronaldo (LF) or Messi (RF). However, we will only consider players who are marked as true strikers, namely ST and MS (center forwards). Here is the top 10.
Note: Only standard cards are considered.
Rank 10: Edinson Cavani

In the Bundesliga top ten, some players should be relatively cheap and affordable on the transfer market. However, the top 3 will surely fetch high prices. If you want a truly fast striker: Aubameyang is the fastest player in FIFA 17.

In Overwatch pros only play 3 tanks and 3 healers – but it’s not fun.
That the meta of Overwatch has shifted over the past few months is certainly intended and makes sense. However, at present, the game, at least in the competitive scene, is in quite a crisis of meaning. No matter which game you look at, there is basically only one really sensible team composition: 3 tanks and 3 supporters.
Who needs defense or attack heroes?
You might think that such a team lacks the firepower to effectively clear opponents – but that’s far from true. Especially with Ana on the team, even a rather weak tank can become an unstoppable killing machine. However, this isn’t particularly exciting, because basically, the tactic relies solely on the tanks taking some damage so the healers can charge their ultimates and ultimately unleash them together. Effective – but not particularly fun.
In an interview with Powerwatch, Artur Bischof (art1er) from Team Dignitas said:
“We call the triple-tank meta the “Cancer Meta”. It used to always be Genji and Winston, but not anymore. The meta doesn’t make much sense to us right now. The tank just goes forward and takes damage while Ana heals him and charges her Nanoboost. For me, this playstyle has nothing to do with skill. After that, it just takes a few swings from Reinhardt’s hammer and you’re done. It’s simply exploiting the game mechanics.”
What do you think of the current pro scene in Overwatch and the stagnant and very boring meta? Does it urgently need a change or is this just “part of the game” and should be countered by other combinations?
