In FIFA 17, additional player ratings for the top 50 footballers in the game have been released. Let’s take a look at the attributes.
EA Sports gradually releases the FUT player cards of the top 50 players in the game. Their values are based on the real performances of the past year in the league and cup competitions. The unveiling of these ratings is always an exciting major event that leads to heated discussions.
Every fan has their own opinion about player performances – especially regarding their favorite players – which is why EA Sports can never please everyone. Are you satisfied with the following values?
The Best Player Ratings, Place 30-21
Just yesterday, the developers presented the Top 50-31 in FIFA 17. Now it’s time for the next 10 cards:
Place 30: Eden Hazard
Place 29: Giorgio Chiellini
Place 28: Petr Čech
Place 27: Toni Kroos
Compared to FIFA 16, Kroos improved by one point in the overall rating. His passing value is particularly outstanding!
Place 26: Gianluigi Buffon
Place 25: Marco Reus
Marco Reus, the cover star of FIFA 17, receives an increase of 2 points. His strong pace, shooting, passing, and dribbling values make him a valuable winger. This card will be in demand in every Bundesliga team.
Place 24: Andreas Iniesta
Place 23: Diego Godín
Place 22: Philipp Lahm
The veteran and captain of FC Bayern improved compared to the previous year as well. He climbs from 87 to 88. However, the right-back does not bring good pace values, which are preferred in this position. However, Lahm is very good at passing, dribbling, and defending.
Place 21: Kevin de Bruyne
In the coming days, further placements will be announced. Some big names are still outstanding.
Funcom has announced its financial figures for the second quarter of 2016, showing a loss.
Compared to the revenue from the first quarter, the company has reported a loss of 36 percent. This was likely expected, as it has been announced that sales figures for the games in the portfolio are slowly but steadily declining. However, operational costs have been reduced and some debts have been repaid, so the company is not doing as poorly as the figures might suggest. A loan from June of half a million dollars has been repaid. The company’s restructuring measures are still ongoing.
New Games in Development
Currently, the team is working intensively on the upcoming survival MMO Conan Exiles. Additionally, another game featuring the Conan brand is in the works, but nothing is currently being revealed about it. The team is also developing a spin-off to The Secret World, which will help the team in North Carolina perfect their use of Unreal Engine 4. However, it is intended to be an experimental game, and therefore it is not expected to significantly impact the financial figures.
World of Warcraft: Legion launched tonight and just before midnight, many players sat anxiously in front of the screen, secretly expecting the worst. Because so far, the launch of an MMO or MMO expansion has never gone smoothly. But with Legion, it was different!
Even before the Legion launch, Game Director Tom Chilton assured at Gamescom 2016 that everything would go perfectly this time. Many players still remembered the frustration that had occurred during the launch of Warlords of Draenor. A DDoS attack had crippled the servers, and millions of players couldn’t log in or waited endlessly in the queue. To that were added numerous “regular” problems, like lags and phasing issues. No one wanted to experience such a thing again.
But then everything turned out differently and quietly, Legion was suddenly there. Just moments before, we were doing our usual quests, and suddenly it went “whoosh” and we could embark on an adventure with Khadgar to Dalaran and to the Broken Isles, acquire our Artifact Weapon, and unlock the class hall of our class.
Tom Chilton was right! Legion really launched very well!
Everything went so smoothly that it almost seemed as if these new features had always existed and we just hadn’t noticed them before. There were no lags, no downtime, no server restarts, nothing. Everything ran like clockwork! But wait, really everything?
There’s always something!
Well, it didn’t go perfectly after all, and while everything went smoothly for me and our WoW demon Cortyn, other players did encounter one or another problem, for example:
Phasing issues: Some players found that the area didn’t load in the correct phase, which left them standing awkwardly in an empty space while an intense battle should be raging. However, restarting the respective quest can easily fix the issue.
Hey man, where is Dalaran? Some players also complain that despite completing the pre-quest, they cannot access Dalaran, and thus cannot start Legion. For some, the error resolved itself after one (or several) restarts, while others are still waiting to start the expansion.
Mein-MMO says: Kudos to Blizzard, that was a successful launch! And as we have learned from the previous expansion or other games, such smooth starts are anything but guaranteed. Wildstar was, for example, hardly playable for hours back then, and The Elder Scrolls Online had plenty of issues at launch and for weeks afterward. In contrast, the launch of Legion went really exemplary. The few players who are currently experiencing issues hopefully receive similarly competent and quick support from Blizzard, so that in the end, everyone can have fun and joy with Legion.

Capcom announced that they will also release the MMO Monster Hunter Frontier Z for the Playstation 4.
Monster Hunter is an RPG series that is very popular not only in Asian regions, and there is even an MMORPG called Monster Hunter Online, which was released in the Asian market in recent months. The game has been revised and re-released multiple times over the past few years under a new name. Currently, a kind of remake is in the works with Monster Hunter Frontier Z.
Monster Hunter MMO on PS4
This game is now set to be released for the Playstation 4 as well. Specifically, on November 22, as a new trailer reveals. However, the release has only been confirmed for Japan so far. Whether the game will make it to the West is currently uncertain. However, it cannot be completely ruled out, as the “Monster Hunter” series is popular here as well.
The current MMO Monster Hunter G, which is available for PC, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and Wii U, will receive an update to the new version Monster Hunter Frontier Z on November 9.

World of Warcraft: Legion brings particularly powerful artifact weapons tailored specifically to their class and role. All players? No, because a certain gamer has no chance for the artifact weapon quest due to his petty war against the druids of the Circle of Cenarius!
In online role-playing games, players rarely suffer from far-reaching consequences for their misdeeds, as NPCs usually don’t “remember” when a player kills a lot of them. But in World of Warcraft, you can actually mess up your standing with a faction so badly that they remain hostile until you regain enough positive reputation with them.
“You won’t get an artifact weapon here!”
A player must have been very bored or had a particular hatred for the guardians of the druid meeting place “Moonlight Glade,” as he has ruthlessly slaughtered countless of them in the past and thus earned the status of “Hostile” with them. Unfortunately, he is a druid himself and wanted to pick up his quest for the druid artifact weapon from the Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem at the start of Legion – like all the other good druids did.
But to his great dismay, Hamuul did not provide the hint for the coveted weapon, but rather some solid slaps in the face! Because the Archdruid was far from pleased with the player’s actions and, due to the negative standing with the druid faction, had become a hostile NPC for the player. And hostile NPCs simply do not offer quests!
However, since the player did not want to endlessly collect faction points with the druids, he asked Blizzard for help in the WoW forum and indeed, he has since been helped, and Hamuul Runetotem has been made a neutral NPC. Of course, most forum users found the topic to be hilarious and there were more or less biting remarks. Some are even calling for a new NPC with the player’s name, who should appear as a redeemed traitor.
Mein-MMO says: Yes, that is karma. And although I actually believe that important quest givers should be neutral for gameplay reasons, I find the whole situation somewhat fitting. But what do you think? Should players’ actions have consequences, even if they severely hinder gameplay? Let us know in the comments!
In a statement from the developers, it was officially announced that some bans of “Pokémon GO” players are being lifted. The statement says:
Some players may not have even noticed that some add-on map apps do more than just show nearby Pokémon. Any end-user app can be used by app creators as a collection tool and can invisibly gather data and send it to the app creator with or without the end user’s knowledge. These apps can create similar issues as a DDoS attack on our servers. For this reason, we had to suspend some accounts associated with the use of such add-on map apps. This led to confusion among some users about why their accounts were suspended.
According to the developer, this is only a small part of the suspended accounts. After changing the infrastructure, they are now able to unlock this part of the accounts again. However, add-on maps that read data from the “Pokémon GO” servers can still lead to the suspension of an account in the future. Accounts created solely for reading server data will remain banned.
Accounts that have used apps or websites to appear at other locations (GPS hack) are also still banned. The main concern of the developers is to provide all players with a fair, enjoyable, and genuine experience. For this reason, the anti-cheat policy in Pokémon GO will continue to remain and enforce strongly.
Accounts that violate the terms of use of Pokémon GO will continue to be banned immediately!

No Man’s Sky is said to be a feature-rich screensaver that could have benefited from a few more years of development time. However, it does one thing exactly right: it captures the aspect of space travel perfectly – crushing loneliness. Because the promised multiplayer was, it is said, a lie – just like some other hinted features. In the end, No Man’s Sky is casually renamed to Big Fat Lie – a big, fat lie.
Heavy stuff! If you want to read what our community thinks about the game:
The exact time for the multiplayer world premiere of “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare” and “Modern Warfare Remastered” is known. This will take place as part of “CoD XP 2016”.
In a few days, the starting signal for the mega event for all CoD fans will be given: The “Call of Duty XP 2016”. The fair takes place from September 2 to September 4 in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California.
This fan event offers, on the one hand, the stage for the “World League Championship”, the highlight of the eSports season of Black Ops III. On the other hand, gameplay footage for the multiplayer of Infinite Warfare and the remastered version of Modern Warfare will be showcased. It is now known when this will happen exactly.
Finally Multiplayer
Until now, only single-player scenes of Infinite Warfare, the upcoming part of the CoD series, have been shown, but this will change next Friday.
Because on September 2 at 7 PM, you can experience the world premiere of the multiplayer modes live on the CoD Twitch channel. This has been officially confirmed by Activision.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be released on November 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

In Destiny we take a closer look at the ornaments. These are introduced with “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” and affect the outward appearance of certain weapons and gear pieces.
With the April update, Chromatin was introduced in Destiny. With these items you can spruce up certain weapons and armor and make them shine. In RoI, an evolution of the Chromatin system comes: The ornaments.
The ornaments are also items that bring about cosmetic changes. However, compared to Chromatin, they go a step further and even affect the “geometry” of weapons and armor.
More individuality thanks to 22 ornaments
Bungie itself has not publicly spoken much about these new customization options. But the YouTube Arekkz Gaming was able to gather some information at Gamescom 2016, which he now presents together with concept art in the video:

At the launch of RoI, there are to be a total of 22 ornaments available that can affect the appearance of certain exotic weapons and gear sets.
Of the armor pieces, only three of the new sets support the ornaments: The Raid “SIVA” set, the “Trials of Osiris” set, and the “Iron Lord” set. There are specific slots for the ornaments:
The ornaments have the following effect:
“Iron Lord” set: Flames
“Trials of Osiris: Hologram
The raid gear begins to shine and glow:
Note: The shaders affect the color of the armor pieces, but not the color of the ornament effects. It is therefore not possible to have, for example, blue or green flames on the “Iron Lord” armor.
Currently, it can only be speculated how these armor ornaments will be counted towards the total of 22 ornaments. Either each ornament of the individual armor pieces (helmet, gloves, chest, leg armor, (class item?)) is counted, or all ornaments for an entire gear set are counted as one. If the latter option is true, there will be 19 ornaments left for exotic weapons.
So far, it is known that the Monte Carlo, Falkenmond, Khvostov 7G-0X, and Nemesis Star each have two ornaments. Which other weapons can be styled is currently unknown.
The ornaments will be obtainable in various ways. For example, they may be found in “Radiant Tresures,” which can either be played or purchased with real money in Eververse.
Some of them are said to only be obtainable as rewards for impressive achievements, such as “flawless” Trials runs. Therefore, not many Guardians will likely be able to walk around in the fancy hologram trials look.
For which weapons would you like to see cool ornaments?

In The Division, the next survey to improve the MMO shooter is live. How useful are the current skills?
In The Division, you can customize your agents with various skills. These can be assigned to the Medical, Tech, and Security wings and grant you specific bonuses in combat.
Additionally, there are three individual skills that, while rarely used, can provide a significant advantage in combat.
Especially in the endgame, some skills are more useful than others. There is a significant imbalance here. Massive is aware of this. As community developer Yannick Banchereau recently mentioned, it is no secret that only a few provide real benefits in the endgame, such as First Aid, the Pulse, or the Turret.
The community is asked – Which skills are useful?
The developers want to address this problem in the future, likely already in Update 1.4. However, before making hasty decisions, they want to take the time to survey the community about what they think of each individual skill and its mods.
To do this, they have developed a short survey where you can rate the usefulness of each skill mod. You have the choice between:
Additionally, a thread has been set up in the Ubi forum where you can discuss the skills – in English.
The survey is also in English. To assist with filling it out, we present in this article all skill mods in The Division along with their English terms. Here you can also see what they do exactly.
Will you participate in the survey?

Slowly but surely, the first players of World of Warcraft: Legion are arriving at the maximum level of 110. However, the adventure on the Broken Isles is far from over – on the contrary! Thanks to the new world quest system, there is (almost) always something to do in the game world. We will reveal the intricacies of the system and explain how you can complete the most important missions.
World Quests: Something for Every Type of Player
World quests are World of Warcraft’s renewed attempt to constantly produce new and recurring content. Unlike daily quests, world quests are not to be seen as a burden that must be completed every day. Also new is the fact that the quests do not rotate daily but rather fresh missions await every few hours. The objectives are also varied: Instead of always having to kill enemies, there are also mini-games and crafting missions that require a bit more skill or brainpower.
This is rounded off by world bosses and particularly difficult variations of the “rare mobs” that have become significantly more challenging due to new effects. Even pet battlers, PvPers, and fishermen get their own quests – no type of player is left out.
The great thing about the system: you only need to open your map and see all available missions at a glance – provided that you have already achieved a friendly reputation with the following factions:
The Highmountain Tribe
The Nightborne
The Dreamweavers
Farondis’ Court
Valarjar
Once that is achieved (which should be accomplished through the usual quest lines), you can complete the quest “A world full of Quests” in Dalaran and then tackle world quests.
Each world quest is rewarded with a reward that can be viewed in advance. Some only give gold or order resources, while others reward with Blood of Sargeras (needed for crafting) or even rare mounts and pets. In any case, you should take on the missions that grant artifact power – a more effective method of collecting these points will be hard to find.
Emissary Missions – The Big Loot
The top priority for completing world quests should be the emissary missions. You receive one of these each day, up to a maximum of 3. You can see the active emissary quests on the world map at any time on the left. These quests require that 4 special world quests belonging to a specific faction are completed.
Where do I find the emissaries?
The emissaries of each faction start in their respective areas. The “Emissary of the Highmountain Tribes” is – as expected – in Thunder Totem. It is only necessary to visit the emissaries once you have completed the quest. It is accepted automatically. As a reward, you will receive a substantial amount of reputation points (usually 1,500) with the respective faction and a reward box. The box may contain gold (about 700), order resources, Blood of Sargeras, and other useful bonuses.
By the way: Once you have reached “Friendly” reputation with all factions of Legion, the emissaries will also visit your character in the Order Hall, allowing you to collect the rewards at a central location.
Finally, here are some general tips:
Some missions count for multiple emissaries at the same time. So a “Wanted” mission in Suramar could count for both the Nightborne and the Watchers!
Some missions are only temporarily available. So don’t forget to check how long a quest is still available when planning.
The color of a quest on the world map indicates how difficult the task is. Yellow means that you can easily accomplish it alone. Blue requires 3-5 players and purple often means a complete group of 10 or more people (mostly world bosses).
On the world map, you can set specific filters if you wish to hide crafting quests or pet battle missions.
World quests are the same for all players on the server (except for crafting missions and the like). So you can easily team up with friends and complete quests together!
The global official launch of FIFA 17 is on September 29, 2016. Then all fans of virtual football can fully immerse themselves in the new features of the football simulation.

World of Warcraft: Legion finally gives us a new hero class, the Demon Hunter. We have thoroughly tested the new (anti) hero and present you a comprehensive guide.
Legion, the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, is coming soon, and then all players can finally try out a Demon Hunter. This new hero class is indeed a success and has even made the author of this article fall in love with WoW. But let’s start with the basics:
The Demon Hunter at a glance

· Tank (Vengeance)
· Damage Dealer (Havoc)
Range:
· Melee
Armor Types:
· Leather
Weapons:
· One-Handed Swords
· One-Handed Axes

· Twinblades of the Betrayer (DPS)

Class Hall:
· The “Havoc” ship in Mardum
Starting Level:
· 98
Special Features:
· Can glide through the air
· Can perform double jumps
· Can heal by killing enemies
So, where are you from?
Hero classes receive special treatment in World of Warcraft because while normal heroes stumble around at level 1 with tattered rags and rusty weapons, a Demon Hunter starts at level 98. After all, these demon slayers are also the elite of the “Illidari”, the personal army of Illidan himself.
The big boss of all Demon Hunters sent his followers into the dark demon world of “Mardum” just when the final raid group storms his fortress in the second WoW expansion “The Burning Crusade”. Together with the other Illidari, our hero is supposed to take down the demoness Tyranna and open a path to Illidan’s fortress with her Keystone. However, this goes wrong, and instead, our hero and his comrades get imprisoned by the Wardens.
Only many years later will we be freed again – precisely by Illidan’s arch-enemy Maiev. Because the Burning Legion is back and ravaging Azeroth. And fire can only be fought with fire…
Perfect Entry
The whole action in Mardum and the ensuing slaughter against invading demons in the Warden’s Vault is not just a decorative element. While we face entire hordes of demons, we gradually learn all the relevant skills and traits of our class. This works so well that even WoW newcomers immediately know how to play the Demon Hunter.
Before we dive into the devastated coast, as a Demon Hunter, we have an extensive tutorial in the past ahead of us.
And those who have so far considered WoW to be an old-fashioned MMO without dynamism can also be pleased. The Demon Hunter is an incredibly agile class that plays almost like a hero from modern action MMOs like WildStar, Tera, or Blade & Soul. This is because the Demon Hunter has many skills that hit everything in front of him in addition to his standard attack. Other skills let us dash into the fray incredibly quickly or make a quick getaway. This allows us to dance around the enemy at will and deal significant damage with hit-and-run tactics.
WoW on Speed!
The combat gameplay alone makes the Demon Hunter incredibly mobile and incredibly fun to play. But that’s not all. Anyone familiar with the Heart of Thorns expansion for Guild Wars 2 should be excited about the demon wings that allow the Demon Hunter to glide through the air. And WildStar fans can rejoice because Demon Hunters master double jumps!
Demon Hunters are excellent damage dealers.
Oh yes, the most important point at last: Demon Hunters can also manage without healers because dead enemies often leave behind soul fragments that heal the dark fighter for 25 percent of his health. In boss fights with many adds, the demon killer can handle quite well on his own and relieve the healer.
Our (Nightmare) Spaceship!
Like all heroes in Legion, Demon Hunters also get their own Class Hall. But instead of shabby hunting lodges and musty halls, the Illidari get their own spaceship! And not just any spaceship, but the “Demon Hammer”, the former flagship of Demon Queen Tyranna, which still hovers like a Damocles sword over the devastated world of Mardum.
Inside, you will also find the Demon Forge, where we can further develop our artifact weapons and recruit our allies, including Kayn Sunfury or Alturis the Suffering. By the way, the ship looks amazing and impresses with a dark ambiance, demonic green lighting effects, and even prison cells where especially strong demons are imprisoned for later use.
Damage, Damage, Damage! – The Havoc Demon Hunter
Those who choose the damage specialization called “Havoc” get an incredibly agile character who can shred enemy groups in no time. The artifact weapons of the Demon Hunters are the Twinblades of the Betrayer, which are no deception despite their unfortunately translated name. You can find the properties of the blades under the specified link in a separate article, and everything about the other artifact weapons can be found here.
Skills – What the Havoc Demon Hunter Can Do
The following list contains all the active abilities of the Havoc Demon Hunter. But beware: The information refers entirely to the Beta of Legion and may change until release. Demon Hunters mostly deal Chaos damage with their attacks and require Fury for their strongest skills, which they refresh in battle or through certain abilities. Also, almost all skills are immediately usable, which benefits the fast playstyle of the Demon Hunter.
Throw Glaive: With this skill, the Demon Hunter can make a ranged attack and hit up to two additional enemies in the area. Ideal for immediately countering after a retreat.
Wrath of the Illidari: Here, we also throw the glaives at the enemy, but this time they stick, and we can immediately teleport to the weapons. Optimal for initiating fights, especially against ranged fighters and in PvP.
Demon’s Bite: An extremely important standard attack with no cooldown. It doesn’t deal much damage, but you gain valuable Fury from it, namely 20 – 30 points. And Fury can never be enough for a Demon Hunter.
Chaos Strike: Especially at the beginning, Chaos Strike is very useful, as you immediately convert your Fury (40 points) into a strong attack. And if it critically hits, you get back 20 Fury points! So increase your crit rate! Later, Chaos Strike serves as a useful filler to achieve a good energy economy and you don’t waste any Fury.
Chaos Nova: With this skill, you unleash a wave of fel energy and stun your enemies in the area, which also deals considerable damage. However, the cooldown is rather high, so be careful about how you use this ability.
Eye Beam: A channeling attack that deals tremendous damage to all enemies in front of the Demon Hunter.

Fel Rush: A charge attack where we dash forward and deal damage to all enemies in our path.
Vengeful Retreat: Deals damage to the enemy, slows them down, and makes the Demon Hunter briefly jump back. Optimal for hit & run attacks.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, a new week begins today, August 30th. The weekly reset brings fresh challenges on PS4 and Xbox One.
Every Tuesday at 11 AM, Bungie pulls the lever, and new tasks with good loot rain down on the Guardians. Especially the Nightfall Strike, the Trials of the Elders, and the challenge in the King’s Fall raid regularly entice players into the Destiny universe.
However, not only fresh challenges are coming, but current ones are also ending – the Trials of Osiris on PS3 and Xbox 360 are ending for good. On these consoles, the last Trials took place in recent days. If you want to participate in the PvP event in the future, you must do so on PS4 and Xbox One.
But let’s focus on the here and now. What is there to do?
Nightfall Strike in Destiny starting August 30th
This week, it’s into the Sunless Cell. The Darkblade is your enemy. The modifiers are:
Epic
Small Arms: Primary weapon damage is favored.
Harsh: Player radar is disabled.
Shielded: More enemies carry shields.
Exposed: Guardian shields are reinforced but regenerate slowly.
In the heroic Strike playlist, the modifiers are: Heroic, Voidburn, Specialist, and Exposed.
These collectible items are wanted by the factions
Eris Morn wants Worm Spores.
The Future War Cult demands Ghost Flowers.
The Dead Orbit and the New Monarchy want Relic Iron.
What’s in the Trials of the Elders
You receive bonus points for grenade kills. The modifiers Berserker and Harsh are active.
You fight against the Wretched Knight, the Piloting Servitor, and Sylok.
Which egg could a Voltilamm hatch from? With the egg list of the 2nd generation for Pokémon GO , you can easily find out.
In Pokémon GO, there are different eggs that require a certain distance to be walked to hatch. The eggs are divided into 3 different distance types: 2km, 5km, and 10km. A list already exists for the Pokémon of the 1st generation, which Pokémon can hatch from which egg. A user on Reddit has taken a closer look at the calculation of these distances and applied it to the Pokémon of the 2nd generation.
In previous Pokémon versions, there were already mechanisms for hatching eggs. However, you did not have to walk a specific distance, but rather a specific number of steps for a Pokémon to hatch from an egg. Niantic likely oriented itself based on this list for the egg types in Pokémon GO and converted the required steps into kilometers.
Eggs that required less than 5000 steps to hatch were classified as 2-kilometer eggs.
Eggs that required 5000 – 5999 steps to hatch were classified as 5-kilometer eggs.
Eggs that required 6000 or more steps to hatch were classified as 10-kilometer eggs.
If we now refer this information to the Pokémon of the 2nd generation, we can see what the egg list for these Pokémon will likely look like. Currently, there are only the Pokémon of the 1st generation in Pokémon GO, but the developers plan to add more Pokémon from other generations.
The complete list of required steps for the different Pokémon can be found at bulbapdia.bulbgarden.net. Reddit user Vivpix took a look at the list and created the egg list for the Pokémon of the 2nd generation.
The 2nd generation of Pokémon was introduced with the games Gold and Silver – later followed by Pokémon Crystal. 100 new Pokémon were added to the series that did not exist in the 1st generation.
2-kilometer eggs of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO

The 2-kilometer eggs likely contain: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Hoothoot, Ledyba, Spinarak, Pichu, Cleffa, Togepi, Marill, and Wooper.
5-kilometer eggs of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO
10-kilometer eggs of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO
Source: Vivpix – Reddit
The 10-kilometer eggs likely contain: Larvitar, Electabuzz, Magby, Mantyke, Skarmory, Noctowl, and Tropius.
Keep in mind that this list is not official, but simply follows the pattern that Niantic used for the Pokémon of the 1st generation in Pokémon GO. It is likely that this principle will be adopted as seen here, but there is no guarantee.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, there are some toys that players can use to simulate flying. We’ll tell you where to find the items.
Update: Blizzard has significantly nerfed the toys. The glider now has a cooldown of 15 minutes and the Brewmaster’s effect has been reduced. However, the glider is still worth it for emergencies.
The Dream of Flight in the Broken Isles
With each new expansion of World of Warcraft, players are first brought back to reality. Flying mounts remain stored or at least chained, as flying is not allowed for now. “Real” flying won’t be possible for a while, as it will only be enabled with a later patch and (as in Warlords of Draenor) will be tied to an achievement.
This doesn’t mean that you have to completely forgo the rushing wind around your ears on the Broken Isles! Two small toys help you at least somewhat fly, allowing you to quickly cover large distances within the game world. We’ll tell you how to obtain the Emerald Winds and Skyhorn Drakes made from Roc feathers.
For both toys, you need to head to Highmountain. No prerequisite quest is necessary, so you can immediately look out for both toys.
The Emerald Winds
Far to the west of Highmountain (near the place Riverbend), you will find a waterfall that leads down into the area of Val’Sharah. On a fairly large platform, you can spot the demigoddess Aviana, who wants to teach some druids how to fly. You too can participate in the lesson if you accept the quest. The goal of the quest is to touch a total of 6 out of 10 green orbs while “Gliding.” This is where the toy is buried: To obtain “Emerald Winds,” you must instead collect all 10 orbs! If you succeed, you will receive the achievement “Clutch of the Talon” and the item will become yours.
What do the Emerald Winds do?
The toy allows you to perform small “jumps” forward every 3 seconds, enabling you to move through the air. While you’ll inevitably lose altitude, it’s excellent for covering long distances. Many treasures in different areas can thus be easily obtained. Since direction can be readjusted with each jump, this type of movement is even relatively targeted.

But beware: The character still takes fall damage when landing! So make sure to make a last jump just before landing or activate other forms of protection (Ice Block, Slow Fall, Divine Shield, Levitate).
Skyhorn Drakes Made from Roc Feathers
The second toy can also be found in Highmountain, scattered around the settlement of Skyhorn. The toy is made from 4 items, which must all be found first. For convenience, we recommend using an interface addon that allows you to see coordinates on the map.
Shiny Roc Feather
49.6 / 37.3
Delicate Roc Feather
47.7 / 44.0
Shimmering Roc Feather
49.3 / 40.4 (drops from “Ravencrest the Hungry”)
Flightless Skyhorn Drake
53.6 / 51.0
Once you have found all 4 parts, you just need to right-click to combine them into the new toy – and you’ll have the Skyhorn Drake!
What does the Skyhorn Drake made from Roc Feathers do?
The Skyhorn Drake functions exactly like a Goblin Glider used by engineers. However, it has the limitations of a 3-minute cooldown and only lasts for 1 minute. Additionally, this glider can only be used on the Broken Isles. However, it is not consumed upon use. Jumping from a high position (like a mountain peak) allows you to easily glide over an entire area.

Until there is actual flying in the areas of Legion, these two toys are probably the best effects for quick (and almost safe) travel in the Broken Isles. Enjoy!
