In The Division, even after the update 1.4, there will still be difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, Challenging, and Heroic. What influence do they have considering the World Levels?
Massive presented significant changes a few days ago that the update 1.4 will bring in October. This includes “World Tiers,” which determine the level of your enemies and the gear score of your loot. With this new feature, they aim to make the difficulty and progression simpler, clearer, and more logical.
There are a total of four Tiers in the World Levels. Depending on the respective Tier, you will receive items with fixed maximum gear scores. The enemy levels are also fixed:
Tier 1 = 0-163, Enemy Level 30
Tier 2 = 164-182, Enemy Level 31
Tier 3 = 183-204, Enemy Level 32
Tier 4 = 205-229, Enemy Level 33
Level 33 will be the new maximum for enemies.
Once you have optimized your gear within a Tier, you will be overpowered for that World Level and can proceed well-equipped to the next. However, you will never be forced to play the more difficult Tier. You can always downgrade to a lower Tier. To gain access to the next higher level, you first need a certain gear score.
It should be noted: All enemies (including all adds) can drop the best loot in the respective Tier – albeit with significantly lower probability than named elite enemies. For example, if you are currently in Tier 2, random enemies can also drop items with 182.
This raises the question: If the Tiers influence the enemy level and all enemies can drop the best loot – then what do the difficulty levels Normal, Hard, Challenging, and Heroic bring?
Not better loot, but more loot
First:
In each of the four Tiers, you can set difficulty levels for specific activities.
The Challenge Mode (Challenging) is only available starting from Tier 2.
The Heroic Mode is only available in Tier 4, and only in raids.
The difficulty levels have the following impact on the game:
Normal: Predominantly normal enemies.
Hard: All normal enemies become veterans. Veterans become elite enemies.
Challenging: All enemies are elite. Moreover, the enemy archetypes and composition change.
To prevent the jump between Hard and Challenging from being as drastic as before, the Challenge Mode scales its difficulty based on the size of your team. This makes it achievable for the majority of solo players as well. Only the raids are always designed for four players.
But why would one choose a higher difficulty if one can already obtain the best gear at “Normal”?
Higher difficulty levels do not mean better loot, but rather more frequent access to the best loot. In other words: You will always have access to relevant loot, but if you want to progress faster, you need to increase the difficulty.
This means: Even solo players can gradually progress – albeit at a slower pace than if they were playing in a team.
In Destiny, the “Rise of Iron” update brings revamped Strikes. One of them is Sepiks Primus, which will now become Sepiks Perfected.
First things first: This article is full of spoilers. If you want to explore all the content of “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” on your own, you should close this article immediately. Once the heavy spoilers come, we will clearly mark it.
The upcoming autumn expansion “Rise of Iron” will introduce a new Strike called “The Wretched Eye” along with several revamped Strikes. One of them is Sepiks Perfected, the “Sepiks Primus” Strike with a new coat. This information has been known for quite some time. However, numerous videos from YouTubers showcasing the entire Strike have recently appeared online. Bungie invited the Guardians to present them with snippets of RoI.
While the revamped Strikes from “The Taken King” were mostly just enemies replaced by Taken, Sepiks Perfected underwent a significantly larger overhaul.
And now the big spoilers begin. Decide for yourself whether you want to scroll down further.
The Splicers and the Hive Break In
The entire Strike is now characterized by the SIVA outbreak and the Splicers. You will find several red SIVA nodes that need to be destroyed, as well as cut and scorched metal – the work of the Splicers.
However, Sepiks Perfected is not a completely new Strike. The milestones from Sepiks Primus are still recognizable. Especially in the first few minutes, the action plays out almost exactly like in the previously known Strike. You fight against the Hive and instead of Fallen, you fight against Splicers.

A significant new feature can be found where the big Devil Walker usually appears, the “Spider”, which you have to shoot its legs off. Here, it seems that there is variety in RoI: Sometimes the Hive breaks in at this spot and brings wild ogres, and in another clip, a “Perfected Walker” appears, similar to the Devil Walker, but this time in the SIVA version.
The final battle is fought against Sepiks Perfected. This final boss is also a hovering orb that you have to shoot in the eye. However, Sepiks occasionally generates a shield around himself that can only be destroyed with a weapon that a Captain carries. So: destroy the Captain, grab the weapon, shoot down the shield (you only have one shot, but Sepiks is relatively easy to hit), and then deal damage to the boss again.
The First Story Mission in “Rise of Iron”
Along with gameplay for the revamped Strike, videos of the complete first story mission are also circulating. In this mission, you ascend Felwinter Peak and reclaim it from the Fallen. Up there, a big boss is waiting for you. If you want to spoil yourself, you can find a video here:

Final Fantasy 14 already has a housing system, but not everyone can afford a house. Therefore, the developers introduced the apartment system as an alternative with the upcoming update 3.4.
Those who cannot or do not want to afford their own house will instead move into affordable apartment homes. This is how it will soon be in Final Fantasy 14, as the upcoming update 3.4 will introduce brand new apartments in the Square Enix Final Fantasy MMORPG for the first time.
Apartments for everyone!
To ensure that everyone gets an apartment, the apartments are divided into large building complexes, each containing 90 apartments. In them, we can set up an aquarium, among other things, and let our caught fish swim in it. Also cool: The orchestrion system allows us to create a music playlist and play it either randomly or in a loop.
Whoever wants to buy an apartment must have 500,000 Gil and have reached at least level 50 with one class. Additionally, we must be at least “Second Lieutenant” in the “Maelstrom,” the “Order of the Twin Adder,” or the “Immortal Flames.”
The story continues
Patch 3.4 not only brings new housing options. Various storylines of Final Fantasy 14 will also continue with the update. Fans of the quirky detective Hildibrand will be fully satisfied, as the master detective receives a new case.
There is also a criminal storyline at the St. Endalim Theological Institute. There, we have to investigate the disappearance of students at this institution. Patch 3.4 will be released on September 27, 2016.

Pixelmage Games sends its 2D retro RPG Hero’s Song into the second round of funding, this time on Indiegogo.
John Smedley, the former head of Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), once became self-employed with his new company Pixelmage Games and planned to return to the stage of game designers with a 2D hardcore RPG called Hero’s Song.
His first attempt to fund the game via Kickstarter failed due to the poorly thought-out campaign and the relatively high funding goal of $800,000. However, even then, Smedley remained fighting and stated that they would continue to develop the game.
Oops… I Did It Again!
Nearly a week ago, the second funding attempt for Hero’s Song began. This time, however, not via Kickstarter, but through the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, where the game reached about $60,000 of the required $200,000 within a week.
The biggest difference from the earlier Kickstarter campaign is, besides the significantly lower funding goal, the fact that Pixelmage Games is this time relying on a so-called “Flexible Funding Goal”. This means that Pixelmage Games will receive money this time even if the goal is not met in time again.
Retro, but not old-fashioned
If you are charmed by the retro appeal of the game or can at least overlook the slightly old-fashioned 2D look of the game, there are some surprises waiting for you, as Hero’s Song is an action-oriented game with many good ideas and features:
Create & Explore: Create a character from 10+ races and 22+ classes and immerse yourself in a world filled with countless epic quests and powerful gods.
Rise to Power: Kill, loot, survive, and become a god of your world. But only as long as you don’t die from permadeath.
Crafting & Building: Enjoy a research-based crafting system and fulfill your architectural dreams in the game’s housing.
Solo & Multiplayer: Play alone, or together with friends, or together with many other players.
Your Server, Your Rules: Host your own world, set the rules for your server, invite friends or open your world to thousands of players.
It’s best to take a look at the new trailer for the game, which offers a good overview of these and other highlights of the game. Have fun!

H1Z1: King of the Kill will not be released on September 20 as originally planned.
The development history of H1Z1 threatens to become one of those typical “Early Access” stories. The peak was shortly after the game went into Early Access in early 2015, where it was the game of the moment for several weeks. Players enjoyed themselves in the zombie sandbox but quickly realized: There is still a lot missing.
Then the game developed quite well in 2015 until it suddenly discovered Twitch in the second half of the year and worked on a mode suitable for fast action and viewing. However, this mode had little to do with the “Survival MMO” that was originally planned. This mode has now become an independent game with “King of the Kill”, which was supposed to be released this “summer” for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
But they have now put that on hold for the time being. They want to let the game “bake” a little longer. It remains in Early Access to test the remaining new features. The actual survival game “Just Survive,” the sandbox with zombies, is supposed to continue to smolder in Early Access – there are no release plans.
A large update for H1Z1 arrives on September 20
On September 20, at least a massive update for King of the Kill is supposed to be released: It revises the interface, brings new currencies and a training zone, facilitates Twitch integration, and introduces a new ranking system and leaderboards.
Mein MMO says: We have been following H1Z1 since 2014. Back then, they stated that they definitely did not want to become a “typical Early Access” game that never finishes. Meanwhile, they have even become a prototypical Early Access game – serving as a cautionary example for the “Early Access” model: Extremely early, blessed with a nice hype and many players, observers have had the impression for months that the air has long run out. The division of the game and a noticeable personnel change have not brought the hoped-for turnaround and the necessary kick.
This summer, there will be no zombies after all.

In Destiny, a bounty with endgame rewards for the launch of “Rise of Iron” will no longer have significance.
A year ago, with the arrival of Oryx in our solar system and the release of “The Taken King”, Lord Shaxx received a coveted endgame bounty: “The True Meaning of War”.
This bounty is only available to you once you have completed the Summit. According to the bounty, you must master five of Shaxx’s weekly bounties in one week to receive experience, Crucible reputation, and a high-quality reward. Items to the maximum light level are, or were, possible here.
Rise of Iron removes “The True Meaning of War”
As Bungie now states, with the launch of “Rise of Iron”, this bounty comes to an end. After September 20th, the bounty can no longer be completed, as Lord Shaxx will no longer offer the weekly bounties required for it. You can safely remove the bounty from your inventory to make space for new ones.
However, every end is also a new beginning: According to Bungie, Lord Shaxx will provide new ways for you to obtain reputation and endgame rewards with “The Iron Lords Awakening”. “The True Meaning of War” is no longer relevant, new tasks await you.
The community manager DeeJ also spoke out on Twitter, as baffled Guardians could not believe this news. He responded that the “Rise of Iron” expansion will indeed develop this aspect and other aspects of the player experience.
If you want to complete “The True Meaning of War” again, you have until Tuesday at 11 AM. Then your new journey to becoming the Iron Lord begins.
The arrival of the Burning Legion in WoW was foretold in the Bible. Don’t you believe it? Someone on Reddit found “solid evidence”.
Guys and girls, put the tin foil hats aside and take a moment to look away from the chemtrails. If people want to see connections, they will find them, no matter how desperately they search for a correlation.
The Demons of the Legion – Foretold by the Bible
Since we regularly follow the social media of games for you, we occasionally browse Reddit and found an entertaining post regarding World of Warcraft: Legion. According to the user Pyreo, a connection between the Bible and the appearance of the addon “Legion” has been discovered (and no, we couldn’t make that up ourselves): The Bible predicted the arrival of the Legion many centuries in advance.
Not only Yrel looks incredulously at the theories (Ha, pun intended).
How does Pyreo come to this? He took the release date of Legion, August 30 – or 8:30. And lo and behold, if you search long enough in the Bible, you can even find a passage that can be used. As it states in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 30:
“Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He answered, ‘Legion.’ For many demons had gone into him.”
If you are looking for someone to blame for why the Legion appeared so late – Blizzard couldn’t do anything about it, they just had to stick to the centuries-old source material.
Mein-MMO says: Sometimes you just have to praise the endurance of people who compulsively try to make connections where there are none. Sure, in this case it was probably meant to be entertaining, but to even make the effort to search for a suitable passage in the Bible that coincides with the release date – that’s a bit far out.

Weeks upon weeks, the store for Chronicles of Elyria had to be postponed for technical reasons, but now the time has come, the original Kickstarter tiers are back.
Actually, the store was supposed to go online immediately after the successfully completed Kickstarter campaign of Chronicles of Elyria, but unfortunately that did not happen. Fortunately, the wait for the fans is now coming to an end, as from October 3rd until October 31st, the original Kickstarter packages will once again be available for purchase.
The “Cup-Flower Porcupine” is a small prey animal of the tundra, feeding on mushrooms, lichens, and mosses
The Store and Everything That Comes with It
The re-release of the Kickstarter tiers was a promise made by Jeromy “Caspian” Walsh (CEO of Soulbound Studios) to all those who do not have a credit card and thus could not participate in the Kickstarter campaign.
Now the studio is also giving these “Chronicles of Elyria” fans the opportunity to participate in the development of the sandbox MMORPG in the same way. However, this promise does not apply to the “Early Bird” offers, as these have already sold out.
The “Domino Fox” (Fox-Chimera), a predator of the tundra and a foe of the “Cup-Flower Porcupine”
New Tiers Starting in November
So what comes after the 28 days of Kickstarter offers in the store? At least there is a small preview. The developers want to offer their core offering in the form of 12 packages. These are divided into four categories with three offers each. The categories are: Adventurer, Gentry, Aristocrat, and Nobility.
The scope of these contents increases with the rising price, but it is balanced by the corresponding value. Furthermore, regarding the Nobility packages, it should be noted that they will be limited since there will only be a limited number of possible Kings, Dukes, and Counts per server.
To determine how many slots are still available per server (two US and one EU server), there will first be a survey among the ‘noble’ backers to see who chooses which server.
The Pteroguin is a dangerous hunter of the skies that preys on both medium-sized mammals and humans.
The IP Store
With the release of the store, Soulbound also wants to simultaneously release new IP shards that provide information on what players can unlock with their Influence Points (IP). The number of IP points a backer has shows how much he has participated in the development of the game and the building of the community. They can either be credited as a reward for purchasing higher Kickstarter tiers or earned by having players refer friends, stand out in the forum through activity and helpfulness, or by creating fan media, fan fiction, and role-playing stories.
Starting in November, the IP can finally be exchanged in the new IP store for mounts, wagons, crafting resources, building spaces, etc. However, these can only be used during the three-month “Pre-Release Phase”, the so-called Exposition. This serves to build up the still fairly underdeveloped world from the ground up, with villages and towns, as well as crafting guilds and combat schools being established, so that the majority of players starting at launch will already find a vibrant world with alliances, feuds, and wars.
Thanks to its enormous antlers, the Dryas Elk is uniquely safe from the attacks of the Pteroguin
No Feature Creep
All revenue from the store made in 2016 will benefit the stretch goals from the Kickstarter campaign. These include things like tavern games such as card and dice games or the ability to dig tunnels and create basements and dungeons. Any additional revenue will be used to expand the team to ensure the timely completion of all features.
In FIFA 17 we present the complete trophy list and achievement list.
Trophies (PS4 and PS3) and Achievements (Xbox One and Xbox 360) have been part of games for years. Players can see what they can achieve in the respective games and what they still need to complete the game 100%.
For some gamers, these achievements mean everything, while others see them as a nice bonus, and some are completely indifferent. FIFA 17 will also have trophies and achievements. Trophy hunters and achievement collectors can refer to the following list for what they need to do in FIFA 17.
The Guide to Achievements in FIFA 17
In total, there are 45 trophies and 44 achievements, as a platinum trophy is unlocked on Sony’s gaming consoles after obtaining all trophies. So far, only the achievements and gamerscores on Xbox are known. However, the trophy descriptions match the achievements. Currently, we cannot provide trophy quality – nor the platinum trophy.
The following table gives you an overview of the achievements. You can sort them as you like by clicking on “Name” or “Gamerscore.”
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
You unlock the trophies and achievements by playing different modes of FIFA 17. Some are obtained directly from the game, such as “Telepathy” or “Scored.” For other achievements, you need to play specific modes, like Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, Career Mode, or The Journey, the new story mode. Four trophies are also limited to women’s teams.
One of the more challenging achievements is “The Test of Endurance,” as you must win four online matches in a row for this one. This achievement will definitely not be handed to you.
What do you think of these trophies and achievements?
For Hearthstone the release of a new hero is approaching. The Night Elf Tyrande enters the battlefield as a priestess.
The High Priestess of Elune also plays with cards
Blizzard is gradually trying to cater to the fans of Hearthstone who desire more diverse hero skins, as some cannot identify with a particular character. Garrosh, for instance, was not liked by many players, so shortly after, Magni was available as an alternative. A similar fate now awaits Anduin, who is also disliked by some players. In his place, a significantly older lady enters the field: The High Priestess of Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind, will soon be available as a priestess in Hearthstone.
How exactly to obtain Tyrande is still not known. Currently, the condition is only displayed as “Promotion”, but what exactly that means is still a mystery. Presumably, Blizzard will announce some overarching event in the coming days.
The dataminers have already been busy searching the game data and have done some test matches with Tyrande to filter out her animations and various quotes. In the following video, you can hear her English phrases:

Additionally, Tyrande has some emotes that no other hero has used yet. For example, she has a “Be Right Back” emote, which hints at a possible “BRB” emote. There are also several references to various events, such as the Hallow’s End or Brewfest. It is likely that this will coincide with some card chaos games.
In Skyforge we can now also enjoy a bit of MOBA feeling, as the new PvP mode “Golem Battle” brings some new game mechanics that we otherwise know from games like LoL or Heroes of the Storm. The new game mode is already available.
The game principle of a typical MOBA is simple – destroy the opponent’s base before they do and make sure your minions effectively disrupt the enemy’s defenses. This concept is also behind Golem Battle, the latest 5vs5 PvP game mode in Skyforge.
Our base this time is a so-called “Repeater,” from which brave golems stream forth, throwing themselves fearlessly against the enemy defense towers. The golems also serve as a valuable resource, as when we defeat enemy golems, we get a Super Golem quicker, which possesses a regeneration aura.
After 12 minutes, a boss monster joins the game, which grants the winning team a divine form for two minutes upon its defeat. As rewards for participating in the Golem Battle, there are treasures that we usually only get in 10vs10 PvP battles.

Craig Amai, the quest designer and developer of the artifact weapons, is leaving the World of Warcraft team after more than 10 years at Blizzard.
The fans of World of Warcraft must be quite brave in recent days. Although the new expansion has been received very well by fans so far, there are some “terrible news” coming from Blizzard.
Lead Quest Designer Craig Amai Leaves Blizzard
After Chris Metzen has packed his bags, Craig Amai now follows. For those who may not know the name: Amai was primarily responsible for the development of the artifact weapons and had already held an important role before. He was responsible for numerous tasks in the game for several years, as he was the “Lead Quest Designer”.
Overall, Amai’s career is quite astonishing, as his first job at Blizzard was as a simple GameMaster before his rise to one of the key roles in the development of World of Warcraft began. In a long, quite emotional farewell letter, he talks about his departure and how difficult this decision has been for him. He is certain that he will regret this several times, as “it is naive to assume that there is a better company than Blizzard.” Nevertheless, he wouldn’t be Amai if he didn’t try.
“I gave World of Warcraft the 12 best years of my life. I believe I have left many footprints in Azeroth and on the players experiencing them. With such a large team, most players will never know my name – they only know Blizzard. That’s fine with me. I never did this for personal honor. I am satisfied with what I have given and what I received in return.”
The rumors that he would move to the newly founded “Bonfire” studio were denied by him. “Either I work for myself or for Blizzard” – he even considers a return to Blizzard quite likely.
“I couldn’t create a better company, and I would be an idiot if I tried. I suspect that I will come back one day after exploring some unknown paths.
But my time with WoW has come to an end, and I know how things go when you no longer see people every day… they are never the same again. No matter how much you love people, they slip away from you.
That is tenfold true for a social hermit like me.”
Mein-MMO says: It seems like Blizzard’s developers have really pushed themselves with World of Warcraft: Legion. Just like with Metzen, Amai is also a person who had a particularly large influence on Azeroth and is someone that will be hard to replace. I can only recommend that everyone read the “farewell letter” (in our sources) in the original English. It is not only quite moving but also clearly shows how much the developers care about their own work.

In FIFA 17, the list of all leagues and their teams is known.
In the FIFA series, there are numerous licensed clubs and leagues. This is also the case in FIFA 17. With these teams and their players, you can compete in various game modes, whether in kick-off, in the career mode, or in the “Ultimate Team” mode.
From a German perspective, the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga are included with all teams. Unfortunately, the 3. Liga is still missing.

In Destiny, numerous new perks have been discovered in the database that are set to come with “The Rise of Iron”.
A weapon in Bungie’s MMO shooter is only as strong as the perks it possesses. These extra bonuses are randomly distributed across most weapons. The Exotics, however, have fixed, exotic perks.
As clever Guardians have discovered in the databases, there will be a variety of fresh perks in “Rise of Iron”. If you go to the weapon vault on bungie.net, select the perks, and enter the respective perk name, they are already suggested. However, it also states: “No Items found”. Therefore, let’s see what the data miners brought to light.
Virulence – The perk of the exotic pulse rifle in RoI
We have already reported on a new exotic pulse rifle that will come with RoI and reminds us of the community weapon “Price of Exile”. In videos of this weapon, it can be seen that it sends out red “SIVA bombs” upon precision kills, which attack the nearest enemy.
A perk that exhibits exactly these characteristics has now been discovered: Virulence. It is among the six most exciting new perks that users have discovered:
The other 5 perks:
Speed Demon: Increased sprint speed. Increased movement speed while aiming your weapon, and tighter turn radius when sprinting.
The Corruption Spreads: Enemies that take multiple hits from this weapon spawn SIVA bombs that attack other enemies. The Fallen take extra damage.
Extinction Cycle: When you pull the trigger, the first shot has a higher rate of fire.
Strange Gravity: When you hold the trigger down, range and precision increase, but the rate of fire decreases. Kills grant additional grenade energy.
Howling Flames: You unleash a fiery “Solar Eruption” that weakens enemies and deals damage over time.
All New Perks
Below, we list all the new perks that users could find.
The Vrykul King Ymiron does not like you. Nor your mother. In fact, he hates everyone and makes that clear.
At Blizzard, there is a very old tradition of giving characters in their games numerous lines they say when clicked. Merchants start off friendly with “What can I do for you?”, but the more you click them quickly, the sooner they lose their patience. There are such “hidden” lines for almost all NPCs, so when you click around wildly, you often earn a funny comment or two.
Ymiron hates you
While most NPCs only give shallow threats, King Ymiron tends to lose his temper. Warriors can encounter him in their class hall and click on him repeatedly. The good Vrykul is already in a bad mood because he is still denied the long-awaited death – and then some brat in player form with an artifact weapon comes along and wants to give him orders. How Ymiron reacts when you keep bothering him can be heard in the following video by Brett Livingston. And before anyone asks: Yes, the “beeps” are part of the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9WdAzc7ArI
What exactly Ymiron wants to do with us and our family will likely remain a mystery forever. Maybe it’s better that way, because not all mysteries need to be solved. There are other things to discover, like a pink hippogryph reappearing in the game after 10 years.
Do you know any other NPCs in World of Warcraft that have particularly funny lines when you click on them long enough?
The hero shooter from HiRez, Paladins, has entered open beta. There are many new contents.
Do you still remember Paladins? After the hero shooter from HiRez was in closed beta for quite a while, they have now taken the step onto Valve’s gaming platform and are officially launching into open beta. Since yesterday (09/16/2016), the game can be downloaded and played via Steam.
Paladins targets a larger audience
In terms of scope, a lot has improved in recent months. There are now 17 champions to choose from, who use lead, wood, metal, and pretty much every other weapon against each other on the 3 maps.
Appropriately for the launch, HiRez has of course released a new trailer that we want to share with you.

HiRez is now entering further collaborations with Valve, for example, there is a skin for the dwarf Barik that resembles the Engineer from Team Fortress 2. All items obtained during the beta will be seamlessly transferred into the full version of the game. There will, at least that’s the current plan, be no loss of progress.
Mein-MMO says: Paladins, like Battleborn, is one of those titles that got a bit overshadowed during the launch of Overwatch. However, as Paladins is still in beta, the future of the game is not yet clear – since the initial release of the beta a few months ago, the game has developed significantly. Whether it can hold its own in the hero shooter market will be proven by the fans in the coming weeks. Anyone looking for a free alternative to Overwatch should at least take a look at Paladins.

Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony, understands the criticism of No Man’s Sky and its developer Sean Murray.
On the sidelines of the Tokyo Games Show, Eurogamer conducted an interview with Shuhei Yoshida and brought up the topic of “No Man’s Sky.” Yoshida himself enjoyed No Man’s Sky, but understands, why so many criticize the game.
Murray sounded as if he promised more features in the game from day one than actually ended up being there, Yoshida said. That was not a good PR strategy. However, Murray also didn’t have a PR person to help him with that. Ultimately, he is an indie developer.
Videos like this fuel the frustration of fans – Murray promised a lot that was not found in the finished game, especially a multiplayer mode.
http://youtu.be/AE0nuW-mQ8A
Yoshida does not believe that No Man’s Sky casts a bad light on PlayStation due to the many refunds and requests for refunds. He himself is satisfied with the game and impressed by how well No Man’s Sky has sold.

What’s next?
Once all results are in, we will announce the finalists. If the participants play the matches today (Saturday), the final can already take place on Sunday. You will be provided with all the information on our site. Otherwise, it will take place as scheduled on Monday.
The final will consist of:
Winner SF1 against Winner SF2.
There will be no match for third place.
Our assessment so far
At this point, a shout out to all participating clans. The matches were played promptly and reliably, and the results were sent to us. However, a note to crispy crits: I have not received any email from you. I learned about it in the comments and from KillerhasenKommando EU, who sent us the results of the match promptly. Therefore: Please remember this in the semifinals. I will send confirmation emails. If you have not received any, please check the correct email address.
Otherwise, we had to – unfortunately – read a few conspiracy theories and insults: Among other things regarding Xbox or too strong clans allowed to participate here. But once again to everyone: This is a fun tournament where you can win nice jackets. It is not the football World Cup. This tournament is organized with the aim of providing joy to all of us. There is really nothing more behind it.
Of course, we know that some of you are very emotional about this, but it is still inappropriate to become insulting or to accuse us of anything.
But overall, the tournament is going satisfactorily, which is why we are already making plans for new and larger tournaments.
In that sense: Have fun Guardians!

Today, on September 17th, the big vendor reset takes place in The Division. We will see which high-quality items can be found in the inventories this time.
Every Saturday we report on the vendors in The Division. In the first weeks after launch, we reported on the exciting offers from “Dark Xur“, the vendor in DZ06. Later, the vendor offers were overhauled, with the former specialist equipment vendor and the Dark Zone weapon vendor in focus.
Since Update 1.3, we have been reporting weekly on five vendors: both specialist equipment vendors, the underground vendor, and the mod and weapon vendors in the Dark Zone.
How the inventory will change with the October Update 1.4 is still in the dark unknown. Will the vendors be upgraded? Or even weakened, as Massive strictly follows the “better loot” policy, meaning that only the loot drops from enemies should be decisive? The future will tell. Now let’s look at the goods being offered this week.
This is the offer from the specialist equipment vendor
You can find this vendor in the Operations Base in the Tech Wing. He wants to see Phoenix Credits from you.
AUG A3 Para XS (Submachine Gun): 637 PCs – Value 204 (Careful, Determined, Expert)
MP5 ST (Submachine Gun): 630 PCs – Value 204 (Destructive, Predator, Prepared)
High-end items with 204 are represented in the form of gloves and a mask. With 191, you will find the “Predator’s Mark” backpack and the “Hunter’s Faith” knee pads. The jacket – sand-colored, and the Ranger jacket are also available.
M249 Para Tactical (LMG): 627 PCs – Value 204 (Talented, Restored, Destructive)
This week there are two high-end gloves with Score 204. Additionally, the “Hunter’s Faith” mask and the “Predator’s Mark” vest. The jackets can also be purchased.
The inventory of the DZ weapon vendor
Head into the Dark Zone to Safe Room 03. There you will find the Dark Zone weapon vendor. You need certain Dark Zone ranks and enough DZ currency.
