Lord of the Rings Online receives Premium Housing with Update 19
Executive Producer Severlin has reached out to fans in a producer letter. Currently, they are working on Update 19 “March of the King”, which is set to come in October. This will introduce premium accommodations at the housing in the Cape of Belfalas. It goes to North Ithilien – for many, the most beautiful area of Gondor. That fits.
With premium housing or “first-class accommodations”, players have more places to visit, can own multiple houses, and a completely revamped interface for accommodations is also on the way.
For the time afterwards and the journey to Mordor, the producer may hint at a “full expansion”. The team is drawing a lot of motivation from this.
Moreover, they aim to fix lag issues during large encounters and are working on the rogue and hunter classes to make them more enjoyable. They are looking forward to celebrating Tolkien’s world together with the players for a “long time”.
While players on the PTR (Public Test Realm) are trying out the latest patch of Overwatch , more and more details are coming to light that are not directly anchored in the patch notes.
Reinhardt is to keep his hammer
That all characters receive new voice lines when they are boosted by Ana has already been explained. However, there are also numerous new lines from the characters that are simply “fluff” and contribute to the atmosphere of the game. Reinhardt, for example, receives some new lines when fighting on the map Eichenwalde and talks about the attack of the Omnics, stating that “no one will stop him from retrieving the armor of his old master”.
Mei, on the other hand, remains the ice queen of bad puns. When she is boosted, she says, “Nothing can stop Mei”. However, she also has a line that might be directed at Reinhardt’s “flirting attempts”. To this she says, “I… think so. Just keep your hammer to yourself.”
Some of the new voicelines can be heard here:

Particularly interesting are some new voicelines for Symmetra. These might hint at changes. Symmetra now has lines that inform other players that “10 charges are available.” So it could be possible that your teleporter is getting upgraded.

Additionally, she has new lines related to her shield enhancement. “I will enhance your shields” – Fans speculate here that she might be able to specifically boost a single shield or that these are simply lines that apply to characters that already have a shield by default (like Zarya and Zenyatta).
What these lines are exactly about will probably only be revealed in the coming weeks and months. We will keep you updated.

In Wildstar there are vaults as loot that we receive after completing instances. But what is it all about? The developers explain it and also present the new raid vaults that are only available after raids.
Those who complete expeditions, adventures, and dungeons in Wildstar at the “Experienced” level, as well as certain events or defeat world bosses, receive vaults. But what are these boxes for and how do you open them? The developers have an answer in their official Wildstar blog. The vaults open with special keys that we receive for free once a week as subscribers or can be purchased with OmniBits or Protobucks in the in-game shop.
The vaults from the instances each contain one piece of equipment of level 100, one cosmetic item, and rune focus. Those who have not yet reached level 50 with their hero receive appropriately downscaled items. However, the new raid vaults drop from bosses in the data zone or in the Genarchiv and contain the class set items suitable for raid .

In Destiny we show you where to find the hidden chests in the new raid “Wrath of the Machine.” The locations can be found in the video.
Since September 23rd, the “Rise of Iron” raid known as “Wrath of the Machine” is live. Many Guardians have already successfully completed it and are now on their way to discover all the secrets in this PvE group activity.
While all inactive SIVA nodes have been found, players are currently still searching the raid for possible hidden chests. In every raid, there are several chests, some of which may even contain exotic loot. In some raids, players are still looking for chests, like the mysterious sixth chest in the Glassed Chamber.
In “Wrath of the Machine,” the locations of four “Hidden Chests” have already been found.All of them may contain exotic items!
Location of the 1st hidden chest in Wrath of the Machine
The YouTuber DPJ guides you in videos to all chests. The first chest is located after the first encounter with Vosik at the jumping section. If you take another path there, you will reach this chest. Here is the directions in the video:

With World of Warcraft: Legion, there are a number of quests that are fundamentally “different” from anything we have experienced so far in Azeroth.
A special questline is unlocked over the course of several weeks – namely through the level of artifact knowledge that you have acquired. Every few levels, there is a new quest from Xe’ra that allows the player to experience different memories of Illidan.
Johnny Imba was present in the raid against Illidan
Once the artifact power has reached level 5 and all necessary prerequisite quests are completed, Xe’ra sends the players to Azshara (on Kalimdor). There they experience a memory of Illidan before the journey continues to the Black Temple in the Broken Isles.
Here we take on the role of Illidan and fight against a real raid of 25 players. We have most of the abilities that Illidan had back then – we can fire eye lasers, summon the flames of Azzinoth, and unleash the Inner Demons before being ultimately taken down by Maiev.
Interestingly, some “familiar” characters are present in the player’s raid. “Johnny Imba” can be seen in the background, who, by the way, is “afk” throughout the entire fight. An overly enthusiastic rogue keeps jumping through the camera in the cutscenes, and some other raid members repeatedly make comments like, “Who pulled too early?” or “Will I get a resurrection?”.
At the end of the quest, there is even a unique cutscene. If you don’t mind spoilers (but if you’ve read this far, you probably don’t), you can watch it here.

The fight against the raid can be repeated after completing the quest. Whether this is just a gimmick or if the fight still holds some secrets remains to be seen. Perhaps it is possible to “alter” this memory and defeat Maiev.
Cortyn says: One of the funniest quests in all of World of Warcraft. The developers have thought of many details and funny references. In Phase 1, for example, you have to “stare intensely” at Gul’dan’s skull. In the fight itself, you have an ability with a 15-minute cooldown – the enrage timer that Illidan had back in Burning Crusade. The enemy “heroes” even use raid markers, cast food as mages, and place cauldrons with potions that help against shadow and fire damage. Everything just works here. Details and humor without end.
Can region-specific Pokémon hatch from all eggs in Pokémon GO? John Hanke explains how the system works.
Among the various Pokémon that can be caught in Pokémon GO, there are some only available in certain regions. For instance, Tauros is only found in North America, while Mr. Mime can be found here in Europe. Until now, some trainers assumed that Pokémon not available in Europe could be obtained as rewards from eggs. John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, has now addressed this assumption via Twitter.
Can you get Tauros from an egg in Germany?
Some trainers believe that it is possible to obtain Pokémon that are typically only available in other regions from Pokémon eggs. These include Tauros, Farfetch’d, Mr. Mime, and Kangaskhan. Although these Pokémon are listed as rewards for 5-kilometer eggs, they are only available in specific regions. This aligns with John Hanke’s statement on Twitter, suggesting that it is not possible for a Tauros to hatch from an egg found here in Germany.

When asked if region-specific Pokémon can be obtained from eggs outside their specific region, he replied: Eggs can only be found in their natural habitat.
For those who want more certainty about where a specific Pokémon was caught, they can use the new location display from the current update (1.9.0/0.39.0).

Armored Warfare is quite explosive, as in the new game mode “Global Operations” there is hardly a second without some commotion. The reason: both other players and AI-controlled PvE opponents roam the huge new maps, waiting to be hit by some delicious shells from our smoothbore cannons!
Global Operations, the new game mode for Obsidian’s tank MMO Armored Warfare, promises thrilling action in PvP and PvE simultaneously. With this, the tank game from publisher My.com aims to finally differentiate itself from the major competitor World of Tanks and create a unique selling point. To get an impression of the action, the developers exclusively invited us to a hands-on session for Global Operations.
PvP, PvE? Doesn’t matter, as long as it bangs!
In Global Operations, two mercenary teams of 15 players each fight for control over a large map. In the map shown during our test session, this was a gigantic aircraft carrier, helplessly waiting for the favor of the victor in a dry dock. However, the huge ship already belongs to a local gang of thugs, who ensure the object’s protection with an entire tank battalion.
These AI-controlled PvE opponents are our first enemies and ensure plenty of action shortly after the round begins. Unlike the competitor World of Tanks, we don’t have to spend minutes strategizing here, but can charge into battle immediately with booming cannons and rattling automatic guns to achieve the first kills. Hardly have the PvE tanks been destroyed when the storming forces of the enemy team join the fight from the other side, igniting fierce battles for the three capture points in the middle of the map.
You don’t just die once
Soon the first enemies and allies are spectacularly blown up, but this is not the end in Global Operations. Rather, after our tank’s death, we are allowed to re-enter the fight after 30 seconds at one of three respawn points – but always only with the same tank; switching vehicles is not provided. We shouldn’t throw away our virtual lives too generously, as each death, as well as enemy-captured control points and destroyed AI opponents weaken our team’s score. If this drops to zero, we have lost.
The shooting around the capture points alone provides for some solid action, but that is not the end of it. The developers have also integrated helpers known as “Wild Cards”. Occasionally, these bonus factors are tied to a specific capture point. If we control the point, we receive the corresponding Wild Card and can use it. These are:
A reconnaissance drone that circles over a designated area and reveals all opponents until shot down (which is quite difficult without automatic guns).
Activating fixed bunkers, which from then on bombard the enemy with rockets.
The queen of Wild Cards – A B2 bombardment! The bomber that gives the name drops a devastating carpet of bombs over the designated target area, instantly turning everything there into smoking wrecks.
Another decisive gameplay factor on the map is a sandstorm that occurs from time to time and massively obstructs visibility. The game mode Global Operations will be released with the next update in Armored Warfare.
Jürgen says: Wow, that was so much fun! The test rounds with the developers and invited guests for Global Operations were nothing short of an action fireworks display, and I would have gladly tested the new mode all evening long. Because the mix of PvE and PvP is simply a blast, and in my opinion, it is precisely the unique selling point that Armored Warfare needs to stand out against the competition.

In Destiny, the Guardians are already eagerly trying to master the new raid “Wrath of the Machine” with less than the required six players. Successfully.
In the MMO shooter Destiny, the raids are the most extensive and challenging PvE challenges designed for six players. But does it really have to be six players to join the fight? No! With skill and various “tricks,” the mechanics can also be handled with fewer Guardians, and with the necessary Light level and tremendous skills, the enemy hordes can also be controlled.
A prominent example is the Crota raid, which in the past was easily mastered solo by a multitude of players. Can this also be done in the new raid “Wrath of the Machine,” which came with “Rise of Iron”?
This question currently ignites the ambition of some Guardians and motivates them to peak performances. Reports of a solo run have not yet reached us, but there are already impressive performances found online.
Wrath of the Machine completed with a three-man team
On the YouTube channel humbly named “The Legend Himself,” two videos have appeared showcasing two masterpieces.
Just yesterday, the strike team with players xDom, Epicookiez, and sc Slayerage managed to master the entire raid as a trio. The Guardians had Light levels of 375, 382, and 380. In total, they took 3.5 hours for this success. Particularly impressive is that they achieved this just after not even 24 hours from the raid’s launch.
An edited and significantly shortened version of this run has been posted on YouTube. You can watch it here:

Many heroes in Overwatch have undergone changes since the beta. However, one heroine has been in discussion for several months now, and it seems the time is ripe: Symmetra is facing major changes.
A redesign for Symmetra?
In a conversation with Business Insider, Jeff Kaplan spoke about the support character.
“She is a very special hero and is indeed played, but is often swapped out. Normally, she is played while defending until the first point is lost and then switches to another hero. This definitely has a significant impact on her playtime when you look at the raw statistics.”
Overall, it seems that the playtime of Symmetra is not satisfactory. On many maps, she is hardly chosen, and in attack, she is almost never seen – which is not least due to her abilities.
“A character that is so situational is not exactly desirable for us. Even if I can understand why this happens, it does not mean that I think it is right. Symmetra is currently on our list, and we are taking a very close look at her.”
Even though Jeff Kaplan has not yet given specifics on what these changes will look like, it seems to be not just a few number tweaks to her abilities, but massive changes – such as a redesign. At least that can be inferred from the following words:
“It’s one thing when we make small changes – like we just did with Junkrat on the PTR, where we speed up an ultimate – and a completely different thing when we want to make significant changes like with Symmetra. That requires much more internal discussion and longer tests.”
A specific timeframe for the changes is not yet known (Blizzard is no longer making promises), but one could roughly look at November. That’s when the next “big” patch is due, which will likely bring more innovations – maybe finally Sombra?

At Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Activision announced the exact start date for the multiplayer beta. Here are the release date and specific time for PS4 and Xbox One.
To be ready for the launch of the multiplayer beta of Infinite Warfare, you can start preparing three weeks in advance. The schedule for this test phase has now been officially announced. Soldiers on Xbox One will have to wait one week longer than PS4 players, and for PC users, all this waiting is pointless: no open beta will come to their platform.
Anyone who pre-orders the shooter can enter the beta on PS4 on October 14 at 7 PM.
“Xbox One” players who have pre-ordered can join in on October 21 at 7 PM.
On both consoles, the fun ends on October 24, also at 7 PM.
So far, nothing has leaked about the exact content of the multiplayer beta of CoD: Infinite Warfare. However, the beta content is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
World of Warcraft offers the ability to customize the interface in various ways. However, most settings cannot be adjusted through the normal options menu, but require additional addons. With over 4000 different UI extensions, it is easy to lose track of what really helps in World of Warcraft and what is just unnecessary clutter. We have three addons for you that have established themselves as “evergreens”.
Deadly Boss Mods
For today’s successful raider, “Deadly Boss Mods” is basically a must-have. Most raids only take people with this addon anyway, so resistance is futile. Deadly Boss Mods (or simply DBM) adds useful displays and countdowns for all instances and raids, making it easy to see when the boss will use their next ability and when you need to react.
Especially when boss tactics are not fully internalized yet, the additional announcements and screen messages help to maintain overview in the hectic battles. But beware: preparation for the raid does not replace DBM – it is just a valuable aid.
With world quests, there is always something to do on the Broken Isles every day, and the offered tasks change every few hours. WQL lists all available world quests clearly and offers various filter options. For example, you can only display world quests that offer artifact power as a reward. This eliminates the annoying back-and-forth clicking on the entire world map.
In Legion, there are plenty of hidden treasures, secrets, and events. While the search for them can still be fun on the first run, the disruption increases with the number of alt characters. So that you don’t have to have a friendly reputation every time to buy the corresponding treasure map, you can display all treasures directly on the world map.
The latest hotfix for World of Warcraft disrupts class balance. We reveal to you who wins and who loses.
The developers of World of Warcraft have promised to observe the first days after the release of the raid and then make extensive balance changes to the various classes. That day has now come, as a new hotfix will be deployed in the coming hours that will make significant changes to all classes.
Changes in PvE
The changes are so numerous that we have picked out only the most noteworthy highlights:
The Death Knight (Frost) receives numerous buffs. The damage of almost all abilities has been increased, resulting in an increase of nearly 15%.
Demon Hunters (Havoc) will experience minor nerfs, mostly to passive talents – a noticeable reduction in damage is expected. Demon Hunters (Vengeance) lose 50% effectiveness of their mastery as it allowed for too much damage reduction.
Mages (Frost) deal significantly more damage. On average 20% more with all abilities.
Shadow Priests no longer gain stacks of “Voidform” during Dispersion and Void Torrent.
Paladins (Retribution) also receive a substantial damage boost. Nearly 15% more damage should now be the result.
Rogues (Subtlety) now deal 15% more damage with their finishers (but not in PvP).
Shamans (Elemental) deal more damage with their basic abilities (Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning), and mastery now grants 12% more effect.
Warlocks have been improved across all specs. Between 10% and 15% more damage with all abilities should be noticeable here.
Arms Warriors lose a lot of burst potential, as the maximum bonus from “Focused Rage” has been reduced from 120% to 90%. Additionally, the nerf of an artifact talent also leads to damage reductions.
In PvP, there are further changes. Tanks now take more damage in PvP, but also deal a bit more. The goal is not to make tanks “immortal,” as that only makes one party happy: the tank. At the same time, tank damage should not simply be ignored. Subtlety Rogues deal less damage in PvP now – a quick “burst” should therefore be more difficult.
You can view the complete class changes in our sources.
Cortyn says: I really can’t get over the changes to the Shadow Priest. I’m probably biased, but the right timing of Dispersion and the artifact ability made a good Shadow Priest stand out from a better one. Now it’s just… whatever. Dispersion is now a button that serves no purpose until you have spec’d the healing from the artifact weapon.
I’m also hearing numerous complaints from acquaintances who play other classes. Only Warlocks and Elemental Shamans are dancing in a circle and celebrating – but they definitely needed it. We’ll see how the damage numbers shift now.
Riders of Icarus is already enticing with numerous creatures that we can tame and ride, but with the upcoming update “Rift of the Damned“, even more potential mounts are on the way. However, it will be a day later as the update is delayed.
Riders of Icarus and mounts go together like stormtroopers and helmets in Battlefront! And so you don’t have to endlessly ride the same old horse, the same old boar, or the tacky kangaroo, the developers are offering even more creatures with the upcoming update “Rift of the Damned” that you can ride and tame or use as pets.
Especially cool are the “Redhorn Galadoku”, which looks like a Pokémon, the cool saber-toothed wolf “Lunafont”, or a flying whale named “Void Letonsia”. The skeletal dragon “Void Kravid” is also impressive. On the page MassivelyOP, even more of the new beasts are listed. Originally, the update “Void of the Damned” was supposed to be released on September 28. For unspecified reasons, the update will now come one day later, on September 29, to the live servers of Riders of Icarus.

In Destiny, you need SIVA offerings to play the Archon’s Forge. We show you farming methods to quickly obtain some.
Since “Rise of Iron,” there are numerous ways to reach Light Level 385. This includes the Archon’s Forge, the new PvE arena in Destiny. However, it is not possible to simply enter and start looting. You have a prerequisite: SIVA offerings.
These offerings, in English “SIVA Offerings,” come in various qualities that influence the Light Level requirements. They also spawn different SIVA enemy types, such as Outcasts, Captains, or Servitors.
Bungie does not make it easy to “farm” SIVA offerings. On one hand, they are random drops, so you have to rely largely on luck. On the other hand, each character can only hold one offering in their inventory; they are not stackable.
Below, we present two methods currently considered good sources for fast SIVA offering drops.
SIVA Captain
A special SIVA Captain seems to frequently drop the offerings. He is located at the spot where the mission “When the Walls Fall” ends. This is where you need to find the sensor grid.
To do this, traverse the chasm, reach the rocket base, keep to the right and go into the following room where the Captain with the yellow health bar is located: Here, the chance is high for him to drop rare offerings.
Giant’s Shell
To start this, begin the patrol in the Plaguelands, race to the right with your Sparrow, and arrive in the area “Giant’s Shell.” Then go left, climb the cut metal, and kill the Splicers that spawn below you. After a short time, a lot of loot will be on the ground, including, with a bit of luck, also SIVA offerings. However, this only works if no one else is in the area, as otherwise, no or very few enemies will appear. This is demonstrated in the following video:

Some theories suggest that the players in WoW are working towards their own downfall. The lore would at least allow for that.
Actually, the story of Legion is quite simple. The Burning Legion is attacking Azeroth. The diamond-encased dwarf king Magni awakens from his stupor and tells that Azeroth has spoken to him. To prevent the impending attack of the Burning Legion, the peoples must find the five Pillars of Creation, for only thereby can the demon portal be permanently sealed and strike the Legion.
But is that really what will happen?
How the heroes deliver Azeroth to the slaughter
The new raid, the Emerald Nightmare, makes me doubt that. Especially the boss Il’gynoth turns many things upside down that we think we know from the lore. Il’gynoth is a spawn of an Old God and keeps whispering things to players as long as they are near him.
The creature has seven different sentences ready (translated from English):
“Your heart is a crater and we have filled it.”
“The King of Diamonds has been made into a servant.”
“Five keys open our way. Five torches illuminate our path.”
“The Lord of Ravens will turn the key.”
“Flesh is his gift. He is your true creator.”
“To find him, drown yourself in the circle of stars.”
“The Boy-King serves at the Master’s table. He will offer you three lies.”
Shadow Priests receive even more knowledge when they carry the artifact weapon Xal’atath, which is a piece of an Old God. Then they hear from their blade:
“It seems that the prison of N’Zoth is no longer as strong as it once was. What you see here is the small outgrowth of a giant who might still devour your world.”
Priests learn a little more about the boss. Il’gynoth is a part of N’zoth – claims Xal’atath.
This is quite a lot, but I hope you stay with me! I try to address the sentences one by one, as what they (possibly) mean could have quite severe implications for Azeroth. Of course, the following is just theory and speculation, but try to keep an open mind.
Let’s start with the sentence from Xal’atath. The blade makes it quite clear that Il’gynoth is a part of N’Zoth – the most powerful Old God that has ever existed on Azeroth. So powerful that the Titans could not kill him without annihilating Azeroth, which is why they locked him away. This very prison is now loosening, the binding weakening. N’Zoth is slowly but surely breaking free.
“Your heart is a crater and we have filled it.”
Several individuals could fit for this sentence. It could refer to both Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner, both of whom have experienced significant tragedies. Particularly, Jaina would likely trigger several alarm bells regarding “crater” (think of Theramore). However, there is another possibility that is much more likely: Azeroth.
We know that Azeroth is a Titan, and we also know that Azeroth is female – as Magni addresses her as female in the pre-quest to Legion. It’s possible that the corruption of Azeroth has progressed so far that Azeroth herself is already under the influence of the Old Gods.
“The King of Diamonds has been made into a servant.”
The “King of Diamonds” is clearly Magni Bronzebeard, as no other character consists of diamond or has any connection to this gemstone. Magni is regarded as the “Speaker of Azeroth” since he has heard her voice – at least he thinks so. Il’gynoth’s whisper implies that Magni has never heard Azeroth, but rather the voice of a very different master – the Old Gods? Or the voice of Azeroth, who is already under the influence of the Old Gods?
Magni “The Speaker” – but… for whom is he actually speaking? Wouldn’t “The Speaker of Azeroth” be a more fitting title… if it were true?
“Five keys open our way. Five torches illuminate our path.”
For this sentence, we need to clarify who “we” actually is. Here, the obvious solution seems to be the Old Gods. Possibly also the “Void Lords” behind the Old Gods. But for now, let’s assume it’s the Gods. What’s more interesting is the term “five keys” – because coincidentally, we are collecting exactly 5 Pillars of Creation in Legion.
“The Lord of Ravens will turn the key.”
When people think of the “Lord of Ravens”, most probably instinctively think of Lord Ravencrest from the Raven Guard or of Odyn – but those thoughts are incorrect. The true “Lord of Ravens” is the Guardian of Tirisfal, who can turn into a raven with the staff Atiesh – either Medivh or Khadgar. Since Medivh should be more or less “out of the running” and we already know that Khadgar wants to use the Pillars, he seems to be the right choice. Khadgar will “turn the key” and thus “open the way”.
Will Khadgar plunge the world into doom?
“Flesh is his gift. He is your true creator.”
This is just typical “Old God blabber” with little meaning for the theory, but still contains some content. The “Curse of Flesh” was developed by N’Zoth, but the Old Gods “share” their special gifts. The Old Gods often work together as they pursue the same goal: the corruption of a Titan soul. It’s even possible that they are all one great creature since they represent different body parts.
This “cooperation” of the Old Gods is evident in several places: Yogg-Saron was able to use the “Curse of Flesh” against the servants of the Titans in Ulduar (the curse originally comes from N’Zoth) and N’Zoth, in turn, can also use the Nightmare, as we see with Il’gynoth (the Nightmare originates from Yogg-Saron).
“To find him, drown yourself in the circle of stars.”
This sentence is also not particularly important and likely only refers to N’Zoth’s resting place, which should be somewhere in the darkest depths of an ocean – just like the city of Ny’alotha, a city of the Old Gods.
N’Zoth waits in his prison – is his release near?
“The Boy-King serves at the Master’s table. He will offer you three lies.”
For “Boy-King”, only Wrathion, as the leader of the black dragons, and Anduin Wrynn, the new King of Humans, are really candidates. Anduin seems like the right choice, but this sentence leaves a lot of room for interpretation. One will need to pay attention in the next patches whether Anduin has anything to do with the number 3. However, I can hardly imagine Anduin being a traitor – if he does something evil, it would be mainly because he has been deceived and led astray.
So let’s summarize everything compactly!
The complete theory looks like this: Azeroth has already been corrupted by the Old Gods. Azeroth, under the influence of the Old Gods, spoke to Magni and told him that the five Pillars of Creation can close the portal of the Legion. In truth, however, they open the prison of the Old God N’Zoth. Khadgar will use the Pillars of Creation and thereby open the prison.
The beauty of this theory: It also explains why Azshara suddenly has an interest in the Pillars of Creation. As a naga, she is an ally of the Old Gods (who transformed the elves into nagas). Until now, it seemed that Azshara was cooperating with the Legion – which simply made no sense or had not been explained sensibly until now. With the theory explained above, however, everything fits together again.
With the theory, Azshara’s behavior also makes sense.
At first glance, I can only think of one counterargument against this theory. Why would Il’gynoth tell us this? It could be that all the sentences are merely deceptions and distractions. But then such a theory wouldn’t be fun anymore, would it?
Phew, that was quite a bit of work. I hope you enjoyed it, as I have spent the night on it. What do you think of this theory? Do you have anything to add? Let me know in the comments!

In Destiny , the new raid lasted just over 2 hours.
Bungie announced the World-First race for the new raid “Wrath of the Machine” on Friday evening. It started at 7 PM our time, and by 9:20 PM, Bungie had already announced the winner of the raid. It is the clan “Redeem”, which officially achieved World-First for “Wrath of the Machine”.

The next major race will likely start with the hard mode of the raid – but until then, many hardcore players will surely have already catapulted themselves into other dimensions.
Warhammer: 40,000 Eternal Crusade is now available on Steam. The shooting in the distant future can now begin.
Fans have long waited for a decent Warhammer 40,000 shooter and yesterday that dream came true. Because yesterday (09/23/2016) “Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade” was released on Steam – at least in the “preliminary” release version.
Bolters at full price – with addon promises
For just under 50 Euros, everyone can now enter the shooter and spread the Emperor’s justice in the universe (i.e., shoot everything that is Xenos or somehow corrupt).
“Those of you who think it is too early – do not worry. You can come back anytime later and enjoy all the free expansions that will already be there and start shooting the heretics again. We understand that a lot has changed in the game since we announced it a few years ago.”
With this step, the development of Eternal Crusade is by no means finished. The developers have already promised that plenty of expansions will be released that will make the game better and better over the coming months, until the “vision of an almost perfect Warhammer game” is fulfilled.
Cortyn says: At around 50€, the game is already asking quite a lot – a bit too much for my taste to take the “cat in the bag” again. Although the developers promise that there will be new and especially free expansions in the coming years, unfortunately, you hear this from absolutely every game at this stage of development these days. I don’t want to imply anything against the developers from Behaviour, but in the shadow of numerous other games, it means for me for now: Deliver, guys and gals.

In Destiny, we provide you with a guide on how to successfully complete the raid “Wrath of the Machine” in Normal Mode.
On September 23rd at 7 PM, “Wrath of the Machine” opened its doors, and countless Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One rushed into the raid to discover the true origin of the SIVA outbreak. After just about two hours, Bungie reported that the first fireteam, Clan Redeem, was able to master the raid first.
In the following, we will reveal the mechanics involved in this raid and how you can successfully complete them. At this point, a reminder: Spoiler Alert! If you want to explore the raid yourself, you should not continue reading.
Defeat Vosik, the Archpriest
The recommended light level for “Wrath of the Machine” is 370. In the raid, you have three main tasks:
Eliminate Vosik, the Archpriest
Repair the Siege Engine
Eliminate Aksis, the Archon-Prime
First, you will warm up against Vosik. You will encounter him twice.
Vosik, Part 1
Start the raid with a fireteam of 6 people. You will enter the area “Forge 113”.
Here you will find three stations named Crag-Dreher, Conveyor-Dreher, and Goods Station-Dreher. Additionally, there are Charge Charges distributed in the area.
Your task is to collect four Charges each until you reach the maximum charge and discharge them into one of these Dreher.
Vosik will appear, but he is immune to all weapon damage. You must continue to send Charges into the Dreher. Meanwhile, it is crucial that you protect all Dreher from large floaters called “Charge Eaters”. Otherwise, they will drain the charge. Destroy them.
Once there are enough Charges in the Dreher, they will produce SIVA Bombs. (There is a display for the charges on the Dreher). Grab these bombs and throw them at the boss. His shield will be destroyed, and you can deal damage to him with your weapons.
Repeat this process until you have dealt enough damage, and Vosik disappears.

Now you climb the wall. There are jumping sections, which are not too difficult, until you reach the Splicer Hideout. There, you need to put an end to Vosik.
In this room, Vosik is again immune to your weapon damage. You will again need SIVA Bombs to destroy the shield. Three of them will drop, and you should throw them at Vosik as simultaneously as possible. Don’t take too long, or the bombs will disappear.
Shortly after you throw the three bombs, a monitor will light up to the left or right of Vosik. Destroy this as quickly as possible.
Once Vosik’s shield is down, two more SIVA Bombs will appear. Throw these as quickly as possible and prepare to hide. Also, deal damage to Vosik.
When the SIVA density becomes critical (shown at the bottom left), go to the orange-lit room on the left or right side. Everyone must be in this room to avoid death.
If everyone is in the room, shoot the lock next to the entrance so that you are protected.
Follow this mechanic until Vosik is destroyed. Here’s a video of the entire fight against Vosik in English:

Now you will climb onto the wall and face the boss that appeared in various trailers. This encounter may be quick, but it is quite fun.
First, run along the wall, defeat some Splicers, and then you will be greeted with a cutscene. Then the fight begins.
First, destroy the turrets on the left and right of the Siege Engine:
Then the “Core” will open, which you need to destroy. Now you can climb onto the Siege Engine.
Stay on top of the machine until it breaks through the wall. Then, a few seconds later, run to the three parts of the machine on the opposite side. You need to use these to repair the Siege Engine.
Each part can only be held for 9 seconds before it is dropped. Then someone else must carry it. Once it has been carried, you will be exhausted and cannot pick it up again until the exhaustion ends. Also, make sure to eliminate all enemies and traps along the way.
Once you get close enough to the Siege Engine, Meksis will appear. Kill him.
Deliver the parts of the Siege Engine to their designated spots and finish the encounter. But beware: If you take too long, the machine will go haywire and destroy your fireteam. Sprint along the wall, jump down, and collect your reward.
Here’s a video guide to the Siege Engine:

Now you will face Aksis, the final boss. This encounter is also split into two parts.
Aksis, Part 1
Divide your fireteam into three pairs. One team for the left, one for the right, and one for the middle.
Eliminate the Captains with the cannons. One person from each group takes this cannon.
Servitors will appear and must be dealt with using the corresponding cannons. They deal elemental damage. If you don’t eliminate the Servitors in time, the whole team will die. So communicate from which side which Servitor is coming. This differs each time.
Once a Servitor is defeated, the person without the cannon picks up a SIVA Bomb dropped by the Servitor and throws it at a glowing SIVA node near the boss:
Once all Servitors are dead and the bombs are thrown, Aksis will summon floaters that must be destroyed.
These steps will be repeated. After each round of floaters, more Servitors and more SIVA bombs will need to be thrown at more SIVA nodes around Aksis. Then you will reach Stage 2! Here’s a video of Part 1:

Captains with cannons will appear. Kill them and take their cannons.
Use the cannons to eliminate the corresponding Servitors.
Two people should each be on the left side, right side, and in the middle. Guardians without a cannon pick up the SIVA bombs that the Servitors leave behind and throw them at Aksis.
After all three SIVA bombs have been thrown at him, he will teleport to a random location. Immediately, an “empowered” Guardian (marked “Empowered”) must jump on Aksis’s back and stun him with their buff.
Once the empowered person has stunned Aksis, you can deal damage to him for a few seconds. Fire away!
Note: The empowered person varies, so try to spread out in the arena so you don’t miss any opportunity to deal damage to Aksis.
You have three chances to stun him and deal damage.
After the third damage phase, Aksis teleports back to the center and becomes immune. Now everyone must jump onto a “pillar of light” to protect themselves from the critical SIVA density. All six Guardians should be on the same pillar, as subsequently, each pillar on which Guardians stood will be deactivated. Don’t waste the safe spots!
Once the Captains appear, the fun starts over. Defeat Aksis! You have a total of 5 rotations. You can see the entire boss fight here in English:

We reveal to you how to obtain the hidden artifact weapon skins of the Priest in WoW .
Slowly but surely, more and more details about the secrets of World of Warcraft: Legion are becoming known. For the Priest, all hidden skins of the artifact weapons have now been found, so we can present to you how to get them.
Shadow – Claw of N’Zoth
Shadow Priests have it particularly easy and unfortunately also particularly unremarkable. They simply have to defeat Il’gynoth in the raid instance “Emerald Nightmare” and then have a chance to receive the new skin. The difficulty of the boss seems to play no role in this.
Yep. Because it wasn’t creepy enough before.
Holy – Crown of the Lightborn
Holy Priests must first grind a bit to enjoy the “Crown of the Lightborn.” A revered reputation with the Valarjar faction is necessary for this. Only then can one purchase the “Rod of the Ascended” from the armorer. This can be combined with the “Crown of the Lightborn,” which drops from the boss Hyrja in the Halls of Valor—the difficulty is irrelevant for this. However, for the item to drop, a revered reputation with the Valarjar must also be present here.
Discipline – Tip of the Tome Warden
Discipline Priests need to put in a bit more effort for their hidden weapon skin, as they must find a total of 12 issues of “The Annals of Light and Shadow,” which are scattered throughout the game world. But there is another prerequisite: before the collection can begin, an Artifact Research Level of 4 must first be reached. Before that, the books cannot be seen!
Books in Dalaran
Archivist Inkweaver in the Nethelight temple (Priest Class Hall) gives out a book. Show interest, and at the end of the dialogue, you will receive the first book.
At Juvess the Twilight Whisperer (your artifact researcher) in the Nethelight temple. The second book lies on a table to her left.
To the left of Meridelle Lightspark in the Nethelight temple on a bookshelf. This book has a cooldown if another Priest loots it—it might be temporarily unavailable.
In the Violet Citadel of Dalaran, behind Archivist Elysiana, book number 4 lies on the bookshelf.
Books on the Broken Isles
Inquisitor Ernstenbok in Stormheim has the fifth book. The rare enemy is located south of “Skold-Ashil” in a cave, where the eyes of an Inquisitor are flying around.
Constructor Lothaire can be found in Suramar, in the Moon Guard Fortress. He is located on the central “island” in the fortress and drops the 6th book upon his death.
Chief Bittergaze waits in Azsuna in a half-sunken ship. South of the shattered sanctum, you can find him in the belly of the ship. He drops book number 7.
The 8th book can be found in the instance “Ravenholdt” after the first boss Amalgam of Souls. In the following map room, the annals are located on the left side on one of the tables.
Books in the Rest of the World
Number 9 is located in Northrend in Dragonblight in the location New Herdweiler. Enter the church here and go into the second room on the left (ground floor), where the book is located on a bookshelf.
Good eyes are necessary to discover all the books.
Next, go to the instance Scholomance. In the room of Instructor Coldheart, the book is located on the 6th bookshelf on the right side.
In the Scarlet Halls, proceed to the final boss Flameweaver Koegler. On the left side of the room, the book lies on a bench.
The last book can be found in Karazhan. After the fight against the Curator, enter the library of the Guardian. However, do not take the ramp to the left, but jump down to the right. At the end of the niche, there are 3 bookshelves—on the left one lies the last issue.
