Warcraft Adventures: „Lord of the Clans“ – Nach knapp 20 Jahren spielbar!

The Warcraft point&click adventure “Lord of the Clans” is being released after 18 years – however, illegally.

How Thrall Gained Freedom

When thinking of the various Warcraft games, most likely World of Warcraft comes to mind first, then Warcraft 3 and the other strategy games. Only a few players think of “Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans” – especially since the game was never released. Now, the user Reidor has posted the game on the forum of “Scrolls of Lore” (a Warcraft fan site) – in a pretty solid state. This makes the point&click adventure playable for the first time in its (almost) complete form, including all cutscenes.

Thematically, the game deals with the story of the orc Thrall, and how he escapes from the fortress Durnholde to subsequently unite the clans.

Blizzard discontinued the game a long time ago, as it did not meet their quality standards, but a large part of the game data has been circulating on the internet for several years. The result can be seen in this video.

Providing the game is likely highly illegal, and it is probably only a matter of time before Blizzard steps in. But once something is on the internet, it doesn’t go away that quickly.

Mein-MMO states: Although not legal, this is still a piece of Warcraft history and shows a rather funny side of the universe. Especially the scenes with Deathwing, who takes a puff from a hookah, cast a rather strange light on many events happening in the current lore. It’s a shame the game was never officially released. It’s definitely worth a look for fans – even if just in video form.

WoW: Legion – Artifact Power through PvP – is it worth it?

In PvP of WoW , you can gain artifact power, but not very much. Is it worth it?

PvP should be an alternative to other sources

wow legion pvp banner

It has been almost two weeks since the release of Legion, and slowly but surely, players are moving away from questing and turning to other in-game content. Especially PvP players are really getting into it and are unleashing themselves in battlegrounds to test the new PvP talents and have a good old-fashioned brawl. However, most players find the rewards from battlegrounds insufficient. A victory in (Random) BGs is currently rewarded with 50 artifact power, while a loss yields a measly 5 (both modified by artifact knowledge). There is a larger boost of 200 artifact power at every few honor levels, but that doesn’t seem really worthwhile.

This has led to cries from players: Why do I have to do world quests and dungeons if I want a strong artifact weapon in PvP?
Ion Hazzikostas addressed this issue and made it clear: Yes, you should be able to obtain a reasonable amount of artifact power through PvP. However, since “random battlegrounds” and “skirmishes” can literally be “spammed,” the team wanted to be cautious about granting artifact power to see how it all plays out.

Ranked battlegrounds are expected to be considerably more rewarding, which will only be available with the start of the PvP season. By then, PvP players should be able to supply their weapon noticeably faster with artifact power, narrowing the gap to PvE players.

Riders of Icarus – Ienos’s Hideout and new creatures to tame in the patch

In Riders of Icarus there is a lot to do again, because the current patch brings the hideout of the demon Ienos, and there you get the key to tame entirely new mounts.

In Riders of Icarus, the following motto applies: “The world can never have enough mounts!” Therefore, we are also venturing into the depths of the hideout of the demon Ienos with the current patch. Sure, there is a solid lore background to it, but for most players, the demon must die simply because it drops a special item. We need that if we want to tame a particularly rare beast. And as they say, you can never have enough creatures to ride!

Riders-of-Icarus-Beta-06

The hideout of Ienos is located at Parna’s Coast and is a solo instance for heroes from level 34. To reach Ienos’ living room, you must first obtain a key stone, which can be obtained from the quest giver. Those who want to enter more often during the day can buy additional key stones for one Elun each. The chance of obtaining a heroic mount at the end of the dungeon is 10 percent, so there should be such a creature every tenth run. You can find the official announcement regarding Ienos’ hideout here on the official Riders of Icarus website.

Battlefield 1: Das rockt! Seven Nation Army mit Ingame-Sounds nachgespielt

The beta of Battlefield 1 has apparently challenged the creativity of some players. Songs featuring sounds from the game have even emerged.

Until last Thursday, the open beta phase of Battlefield 1 was active. Players could get an impression of what awaits them in the main game, among other things. The developers faced some criticism for offering only one map to play during the beta. Other players unleashed their creativity on this map and demonstrated how to have more fun with the game.

“Forward, Stop, Left, Shoot!”

How do you play a shooter using voice control? Normally, the answer to this question is “Not at all!” The YouTuber Slimecicle has taken on the challenge and tested how successful one can be with voice control in Battlefield 1. Admittedly, the program he uses is not the best. Not only the delay but also the inaccuracy of the commands make this challenge particularly interesting.

Total chaos ensues when Slimecicle tries to communicate his intentions to the game. It can happen that he stands still in the middle of the battlefield, making himself an ideal target for sniper players. Even though one wouldn’t want such a player on their team, the team managed to win a round with him nonetheless.

Seven Nation Army at Battlefield 1

A completely different form of creativity is shown by UMadBroYolo with his Battlefield 1 song. He recorded various sounds that appear in the game and made a song out of them. In the video, you can see what role the axe or the minigun plays in this song.

Though Battlefield 1 has already funny glitches and curious scenes, I had not encountered an earworm from the vehicle until this video. We are curious to see what the game will offer in the future.

Battlefield 1 will be released on October 21, 2016 – owners of the Deluxe Edition can play early.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Duels – New Feature in October Patch

In The Elder Scrolls Online, duels are introduced. The first form of PvP outside of Cyrodiil.

For a long time, Zenimax was hesitant to offer PvP outside of the castle battles around Cyrodiil. A planned open PvP within the justice system has been put on hold. The promised battlefields, a structured PvP, are still awaited. But in October, “man against man” duels are coming with One Tamriel.

ESO-Duelle2

The duels are informal and straightforward: You challenge the opponent. If they accept, the fight begins until one bites the dust. However, they are offered a free resurrection.

The actual combat takes place within a radius around a flag. Anyone who strays too far from it receives a warning and can be disqualified. Outside interference in the duel is not possible: Neither buffs nor healing spells from third parties will work.

https://youtu.be/Arl-MrOTCxc

There are three achievements newly available in ESO. For a victory, 25, and 100 victories in duels. The Hammerdeath Arena in Stormhaven has emerged as a “hotspot” where duelists meet.

The feature will be released with One Tamriel at the beginning of October on PC and mid-October on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It can already be tried out on the PC test server.

FIFA 17: Top 10 Shooting and Shooting Power – With these players, you’ll score the most goals

In FIFA 17, we present the players with the best values in shooting and shot power in the “Ultimate Team” mode.

In football, goals are the most important thing. This is also true in FIFA 17. The longest possession and the most beautiful combinations won’t help you if no goals are being scored.

In FUT 17, there are some players who can score very well. EA Sports released two top-10 lists featuring the players with the best shooting values and the best shot power values.

“Shooting” is an attribute made up of several values, such as shot power, finishing, long shots, volleys, or penalties. Only when all these individual attributes are strong will a high shooting value be displayed on the player card.

The shot power value is not directly visible on the card. You need to go into the detailed view of the respective players to inspect all values. The shot power is a sub-aspect of the shooting attribute and determines how powerfully a player can strike.

These are the top ten of the shooting attribute

Only one player from the Bundesliga is included here: Robert Lewandowski. Lukas Podolski made it to the 10th place:

Destiny: Players discover dead ghost and SIVA Clusters from “Rise of Iron”

In Destiny, Guardians discovered a room on Mars containing collectible items after update 2.4.0.

Since update 2.4.0, there are already some things in the game that players expected only at the launch of “Rise of Iron.” For example, the exotic pistol “Trespasser” drops from exotic engrams. We list numerous other innovations after 2.4.0 here.

destiny-dormant-siva

Clever Guardians have now also discovered a dead Ghost and a “Dormant SIVA Cluster” that can be found in a new room.

“Clovis Bray 2” Ghost Fragment on Mars

This mysterious room was discovered by reddit user “The_Path_Finder”. However, he found no way inside. Quickly, he received help from the community, and user Esoterickk eventually found a method to reliably get inside.

It is now suspected among Guardians that this is a room for a new mission or quest. However, there isn’t much to discover in the room. For one, you will find a dead Ghost, “Clovis Bray 2,” which gives you 5 Grimoire points. Additionally, a “Dormant SIVA Cluster” is hidden inside.

Below you see two videos about these discoveries:

PS4 Pro: Sony sees the PC as the biggest competitor, not the Xbox

The PlayStation 4 Pro is not a response to the Xbox Scorpio. Rather, it sees the PC as competition.

Better graphics performance to retain players

According to TheGuardian Sony boss Andrew House,  stated that console players often switch to PC in the middle of a console cycle to experience better graphics quality . Sony aims to keep these players within its ranks and provide them with the best and highest graphics performance on the new console. House further stated that the PS4 Pro is not a response to the Scorpio, as there was no discussion of that console when development of the PS4 Pro began.

They do not view the Xbox as a threat. Instead, they see the PC as the main competitor.

ps4pro

The surprisingly low purchase price of the Pro version, around €400, could be a strong buying reason for console enthusiasts. The box will be released on November 10, 2016.

The Xbox Scorpio, on the other hand, is expected in 2017.

Warframe: Die Erfolgsgeschichte eines totgeglaubten Spiels

Warframe is a niche title that many may have heard of but can’t really picture what it is. This is partly because Digital Extremes (DE), the developer behind Warframe, doesn’t market it as heavily as Activision does for Destiny, and also because of the development history of Warframe.

The Beginnings

warframe2

Digital Extremes had been a developer studio for years that was hired by publishers to create games for them. They developed “Unreal” for Epic Games and worked on the Unreal series until 2004. They also helped develop BioShock and created the multiplayer for Bioshock 2. One of the last games they developed for a publisher was “The Darkness 2”.

Steve Sinclair, Creative Director at Digital Extremes, describes the feeling of being dependent on publishers as: “You’re not an employee in a publisher beast. You were hired and you can be tossed aside if needed.”

The Idea Emerges

In 2008, Digital Extremes released a game called “Dark Sector” on their own. The basic idea was to combine the intense action elements of Unreal: Tournament with character development and a persistent multiplayer universe. The actual “Dark Sector” could not fulfill the concept, but in early 2012, Digital Extremes decided to give the idea behind “Dark Sector” a second chance. So they passionately got to work and created a first prototype. DE had only a month to do this because James Schmalz, the head of Digital Extremes, wanted to present the prototype to publishers at GDC.

The concept trailer for Dark Sector (2004) looks more like Warframe and less like the 2008 released Dark Sector.

All publishers said “No” to the idea. Most meetings were over once it became clear that Warframe had a sci-fi setting and no one wanted to see such games at the time.

Ironically, the reality today with games like “No Man’s Sky” and “Star Citizen” is completely different.

Since no western publisher was interested in their idea, they turned to a publisher in Korea. However, this one had concerns about the game’s graphics and content. “Western player-developers can’t create free-to-play games because they can’t update them,” this publisher said. “Because they spend too much time improving the graphics and developing a game that can’t grow or change.” Sinclair added, “That was his opinion that we would completely fail because our game looked too good and that we wouldn’t be able to maintain such a title.”

The gameplay in the closed beta gives a good insight into where the journey is heading.

So Digital Extremes got to work and developed Warframe without a publisher backing them. A truly risky decision, as many employees had to be laid off as a result and the morale in the company was low.

A Fight for Survival

Without a publisher, the development of Warframe was a survival struggle for Digital Extremes. Sinclair said: “I remember that we had to buy servers because player numbers were increasing and I yelled at the people saying, ‘buy the cheap stuff because we just laid people off and we can’t spend money beyond our means.'” Luckily, there was good news as well, as the founder packages sold well and a small but loyal fanbase formed.

Consistent Content Supply

To keep players engaged, they decided to release small updates every week and occasionally bring new content into the game with large patches. As a result, existing systems are also being completely overhauled. For example, the star map has been completely redesigned, allowing players to travel through the solar system and the Void in entirely different ways.

Another significant update was the introduction of the movement and combat system 2.0. This completely turned the gameplay upside down, shaken it up, and improved it. Furthermore, Warframes, weapons, enemies, and levels are constantly being revised and updated.

However, the strict update policy also has its drawbacks. New players, in particular, find it difficult to navigate Warframe. Digital Extremes is aware of this problem, but admits that they primarily focus on adding new content rather than revamping the player experience in the early hours. Luckily, there are guides available online – and we at Mein-MMO have a guide ready for you.

The Future of Warframe

The extraordinary success of Warframe has surprised many developers and publishers. After all, Digital Extremes has discovered a way, almost by coincidence, to lead a western free-to-play game to success. Sinclair talks about 100,000 players being online simultaneously across all platforms. And this number rises with every update. As a result, many developers reach out to DE for advice. Last year, the Tennocon was also held at the request of fans. The proceeds went to the Outward Bound Canada Foundation.

warframe3

With the new update “The Inner War,” which is currently still being kept under wraps, new content will be added again.

Check it Out

If you don’t own a console but have always envied Destiny players, then Warframe is worth a look. But even if you own a console, it’s worth a detour. After all, it costs nothing. By the way, Warframe is also available on Steam.

Overwatch: New netcode – faster servers (almost) live everywhere!

Blizzard has already upgraded most servers of Overwatch . Faster data transmission thanks to better netcode improves the game.

Less Lag, More Reaction

A few weeks ago, we reported that Blizzard wants to gradually update the servers and the associated netcode. This should mean that matches in Overwatch are influenced even less by latency, and especially the “shooting around corners” should occur less frequently.

Overwatch Symmetra Posing 2

Originally, the new feature of the faster 60Hz tick rate was only enabled for “Custom Games”, i.e., private matches. Meanwhile, the technology has also been activated on almost all servers of the PC version. The game server still makes “predictions”, but these now occur in a significantly smaller time frame, making corrections less necessary.

The developers’ biggest concern with this change was that players with a poor internet connection might have difficulty participating in matches because their network performance would be overstressed. Therefore, there is now an internal system that determines whether the respective internet connection can handle the increased number of data packets. If not, players will be individually throttled to the old level – thus, affected players should not face disadvantages.

Those interested in the exact details can check out the latest “Developer Update” to have the changes explained using Pharah cups.

However, it may still take a while until this change is completed on the consoles. The developers are still working on a way to bring PS4 and Xbox version owners up to date.

FIFA 17: Die schnellsten Spieler im Ultimate Team – Top 20 Pace

In FIFA 17, the fastest players in FUT 17 are known. A Bundesliga star leads the top-20 list.

Pace – or in English “Pace” – is one of the most important attributes in the game, as many players build their Ultimate Team based on this value. No matter if you are a pro player or a casual gamer, having the necessary speed advantage can greatly influence the outcome of the match.

fifa17-coman

In the community, a team that solely relies on pace is derisively labeled as “noob tactic”, as it doesn’t take much to press the sprint button. If combinations are not working out, you at least have the option to simply sprint along the sidelines.

But basically, it is true: High pace values are advantageous, in attack, midfield, and defense. Also, in FIFA 17, there are players who stand out with their acceleration and speed. EA Sports recently released the top-20 list of the fastest players.

High Pace and Speed for Your Team

The Bundesliga star Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund tops this top 20. But the other players are close behind. Coman from FC Bayern managed to secure the 18th place and has an impressive pace of 93 to show.

WoW: Legion – Toys for ‘Flying’ have been nerfed!

Blizzard has nerfed popular toys from World of Warcraft: Legion. Why don’t the developers want players to be able to “fly”?

Toys with too much significance

The last hotfix for World of Warcraft hit collectors of toys particularly hard, as two of the most popular collectibles from Legion were heavily nerfed. The “Brulfaustgötze” and the “Himmelshorndrachen aus Rocfedern” are affected, both of which have received higher cooldowns. The toy now has a 5-minute cooldown, and the dragon even a full 15 minutes. What has driven Blizzard to make these changes?

The answer was provided by “Watcher” Ion Hazzikostas in the last developer livestream. According to him, it was indeed intentional that there was no second “Aviana’s Feather” in Legion to avoid players being able to fly easily. However, the aforementioned two toys allowed for practically the same effect and that quite frequently – so the developers had to intervene.

flying-world-of-warcraft-dwarf
Flight ban on the Broken Isles. The toys have been significantly nerfed.

However, there are other reasons as well. The developers are not against the general mechanics of the toys, because that would also penalize priests, demon hunters, and engineers who have similar effects. Yet to preserve some uniqueness for these classes and professions, they have drastically increased the cooldowns. Those who want can still stock up on gliders from engineers, but it seemed unfair that the dragon was superior to the crafted variations by engineers in almost every aspect.

Furthermore, it is not the philosophy behind toys that they are strictly necessary. Many players planned in Legion, for example, to first go to Highmaul just to get the toy – that is precisely what they want to prevent in the future.

Destiny: Massive nerfs to the Titan – Bungie submits patch notes for 2.4.0

In the MMO shooter Destiny, Bungie apologizes for an error: Changes to the Titan class were not mentioned in the patch notes for 2.4.0.

For a few days now, update 2.4.0 has been live. This prepares for the upcoming autumn expansion “The Rise of Iron”, which will be unlocked on September 20th. While this patch was deployed, Bungie published the biggest changes:

Only a few hours after these changes could be tested by the community, clever Guardians discovered: Wow, the specified changes are not everything! In addition, several issues are occurring, which Bungie is currently working on. A list with many new features and problems after 2.4.0 can be found here. Now, however, massive nerfs were found that definitely should have been included in the patch notes.

Shoulder charge and Type 44 Stand Asides have been nerfed

destiny-titan

Yesterday, a user opened a thread on reddit asking why nobody is talking about the massive changes affecting the Titan class. He referred to the shoulder charge of the Striker subclass, which is slower and takes longer to charge. Some users responded that it was just a figment of imagination, while others reported similar experiences. Now Bungie has commented on it.

In the Bungie forum, the community manager Cozmo spoke out a few hours ago. With the introduction that it is always complicated to make changes to a live game, he admits:

Yes, there were intended changes that accidentally did not make it into the patch notes of 2.4.0. These changes affect the shoulder charge and the exotic leg armor Type 44 Stand Asides.

  • The time to charge the shoulder charge has been increased by one second.
  • The attack rate and target tracking of the shoulder charge have been slightly reduced.
  • The active time of the shoulder charge when using Type 44 Stand Asides has been significantly reduced by 4 seconds.
destiny-rise-titan

According to the sandbox team, these changes were made because shoulder charge in combination with the Jolder artifact was too powerful. They speak of an “overly deadly combination” that needed to be adjusted.

Additionally, it is stated that the sandbox team would never intentionally include “secret nerfs”. Because the community would find them out quickly anyway, it would be ridiculous. In this case, they simply forgot to include the “patchnotes” tag. They admit it was a mistake on their part.

Next Monday, the list of patch notes will be revised. There they will also include the changes to the weaponsmith Banshee-44.

Pokémon Sonne und Mond: Neuer Action-Trailer zeigt Pokémon-Kämpfe und Charaktere

A new video of Pokémon Sun and Moon shows you some highlights of the game.

With a new trailer, you get a good idea of what to expect in Pokémon Sun and Moon. A lot of gameplay, interesting characters, and a beautiful environment stand out in particular. You can also see the various Pokémon and their detailed battles in the trailer.

Exciting battles in Pokémon Sun and Moon

A few days ago, the developers of Pokémon Sun and Moon revealed new details about the game. For example, it was about mysterious Ultra Beasts and the Aether Foundation. Meanwhile, another video has surfaced that offers even more insights into the new Pokémon generation. Although the language in the trailer is Japanese, that shouldn’t be a big issue. The various Pokémon, the gameplay, and the diverse environment will give you a good impression of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oO_P4GX_RA

The trailer goes through various villages and over bridges across the landscape. The typical elements of Pokémon games are also shown in the video. There is tall grass where you encounter wild Pokémon, as well as animated attacks in battle situations. A massive form of a Golem hitting another Pokémon with a hammer appears quite brutal. In addition, many different characters await players that they will meet during the adventures.

On November 23, Pokémon Sun and Moon will be released for the Nintendo 3DS – That’s how long we have to wait.

Pokémon GO: Update 0.37.0 for Android and 1.7.0 now released – Including Buddy Pokémon

These are the patch notes for the new update of Pokémon GO, which activates the Buddy Pokémon system.

To keep Pokémon GO successful, the developers regularly release updates for the game. In the latest update, which should be live now, there is an additional way to earn candies for special Pokémon. Furthermore, the developers are taking action against bots and banning them from the game.

Update: There are delays in the release of the Pokémon update. There is currently no official statement regarding the issues.

Buddy Pokémon are coming

Pokémon GO Ash Pikachu Giga

The already introduced system for Buddy Pokémon has been activated in the game with this patch. This allows you to earn additional candies as rewards for your favorite Pokémon. You simply select it as your buddy, making it your active companion. Together, you then cover a certain distance to earn rewards for it.

Update changes in Pokémon GO:

  • Buddy Pokémon activated
  • Small Pokémon are now easier to select on the screen
  • Fixed an issue where the animation for hatching eggs was not displayed
  • Improved stability when switching networks. The app should no longer stop or interrupt the update
  • “Pokémon GO Plus” support
  • Minor text improvements

The developers also state that they will specifically remove bots from the game. Smartphones that are rooted or running with a jailbreak are not supported by the game. The app should be downloaded from the official Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store.

Note: There are reports that for some users the update is not yet available for download.

FIFA 17: Die stärksten Spieler im Ultimate Team – Top 10 Physis und Stärke

In FIFA 17, we take a look at which players have the best strength and physicality ratings in the “Ultimate Team” mode.

One of the most important new features in FIFA 17 is the improved physical gameplay. Physical interactions across the entire pitch now play a larger role. You have more control in the fight for space and possession.

EA Sports recently released two top ten lists: For the “strongest” players and the top players in terms of physicality.

Physicality is a value calculated from strength, stamina, jumping ability, and aggression. This overall rating is displayed on each player’s FUT card.

The strength rating, on the other hand, is just a subsection of physicality, which is not visible on the player card. To see this, you need to open the player detail view. If a player has high strength, it is not immediately recognizable on the card.

These are the top players by strength

Leading this top ten list is Adebayo Akinfenwa, who also appears on our title image. In FIFA 16, he had a strength of 98, so it can be assumed that he is also close to the maximum limit in FIFA 17.

SMITE: New co-op mode combines “the best of Moba and MMO”

SMITE takes care of cooperative play – boss battles with waves of enemies will be added soon.

The Best of Both Worlds

Smite Amaterasu Header

SMITE does some things differently than the “usual” MOBAs, such as the camera, which is positioned directly behind the character, creating a much more dynamic gaming experience. However, even more will change in HiRez’s god game soon – there will be a cooperative game mode. With patch 3.17, the new mode “Xing Tian’s Mountain” will be introduced, where 5 players compete against the AI. However, it’s not about beating enemy gods, but rather completing actual PvE tasks, similar to various MMORPGs.

Each group of 5 players teams up and starts at level 13 with a solid 7500 gold in their pockets to purchase items. After that, they face “randomly selected enemies,” with the team having only a limited time to defeat the boss successfully. If they succeed, they proceed to the next round, where another, more challenging boss appears. To help players gauge how well they perform compared to others, there is, of course, a dedicated leaderboard.

Mein-MMO thinks: SMITE is trying to expand its audience by bringing in players who enjoy cooperative activities and are not as fond of pure PvP. Whether the plan works and if the game mode delivers what cooperative fans hope for remains to be seen. The coming weeks will certainly provide insight.

The Crew gibt’s diesen Monat kostenlos – und eine zweite Erweiterung kommt auch

Ubisoft is giving away The Crew for free in September.

Starting September 14, Ubisoft Club members can grab “The Crew” for free on PC. The racing MMO launched in 2014 and received an expansion called Wild Run that added monster trucks, drag racers, and other vehicles to the fleet. The main game is now being given away for free by Ubisoft to celebrate its 30th anniversary – however, Wild Run is not included.

Wild Run will not be the only expansion. “Calling all Units” is set to release on November 29 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The focus of this expansion is on police and chases. The stuff that Americans like to watch for hours on television.

Skyforge – Addon Ascension changes gameplay and sets a cap!

Skyforge is getting numerous updates with the upcoming mega-update Ascension . One of them is the Map of Regions. On it, we can individually plan the progression of our hero and see right away what rewards are available where. This will allow us to plan our gameplay progression much more effectively.

If we want to upgrade our hero in Skyforge, it can get quite confusing until we gather all the different resources throughout the game. However, with the upcoming update Ascension, this will be made much easier and more consolidated. Because the Map of Regions provides all the information at a glance and allows for much better planning of progress and your resources. Our hero simply walks through the regions on the map and can choose where to collect rewards and resources.

No more cap, better gameplay, and new class Gunslinger

Speaking of resources: Many of the numerous currencies in Skyforge will soon be removed. This will noticeably reduce the flood of tokens and other items, making the game overall more manageable. Additionally, the annoying caps will be removed, allowing us to play as much as we want in the future, without our rewards becoming useless in the ether upon reaching the limit.

Skyforge-invasionavatar

As further innovations, we can look forward to the cool Gunslinger as a new class, revamped invasion seasons, and the big boss Tol-Monter as the new invasion avatar. To make combats more enjoyable, the combat gameplay will be revised, and players may even choose one of their own as Overgod for a week! As a chief, one holds a claim to a hefty additional income. For more details on the innovations in Ascension, you can find on the official Skyforge page. Ascension is expected to be released this fall.

Destiny: These weapon ornaments are for the launch of “Rise of Iron” in the game

In Destiny, we take a look at the options you have to change your weapons with ornaments at the release of “The Rise of Iron”.

Ornaments are new items that can change the appearance of armor pieces and weapons. This allows you to give your Guardians even more individuality and a fresh style.

We have already introduced the armor ornaments that are in the game at the launch of RoI. Now Bungie is also releasing all weapon ornaments that will be available in Destiny starting September 20. You have probably already seen some of them, as you can already preview the ornaments on weapons in-game after the update 2.4.0.

Weapon Skin thanks to Ornament

The ornaments do not change the stats. They only affect the appearance of your weapons; they are purely cosmetic.
