In an MMORPG, you can also craft weapons. This was introduced in the Sandbox MMORPG Wild Terra with Update 8.11.
With blacksmithing, it is now possible to create items from metal. This includes weapons, tools, and more. Depending on how skilled you are in the skills, you can craft items of varying quality. The material also plays a role. It makes a difference whether you craft a weapon from copper, bronze, iron, or steel. Additionally, it is now possible to repair items if they have been damaged.
For Fans of Ultima Online
The update also fixes several bugs, especially regarding the sounds, and introduces further improvements. Those who want to check out the Sandbox MMO Wild Terra can currently get up to 70 percent off the Early-Access-Bundles. The offer is valid until September 5. Wild Terra is targeted at fans of Ultima Online and offers a huge sandbox where you can rise from a simple farmer to the ruler of an entire kingdom. Buildings are constructed by the players themselves.
World of Warcraft: Legion has just been released for barely a day and already the first power gamers have reached the new maximum level of 110. Read here how they did it.
Wow, that was fast! After less than six hours, the first hardcore players in World of Warcraft: Legion have already reached the new maximum level of 110. The first to do so was player “Fragnance“, who has documented his escapades on Twitch. But how did he manage all of this?
https://www.twitch.tv/fragnance
Teamwork wins!
First of all, Fragnance cheated a bit by creating his Demon Hunter hero before the release of Legion. This new hero class was available one week prior to the add-on release, and the starting level was 98. Therefore, Fragnance was able to easily level up his demon slayer to the then maximum level of 100 and prepare perfectly for the start of Legion.
Nevertheless, his achievement was no small feat, and Fragnance owes his great success not only to his own perseverance but also to a teammate who bravely and helpfully stood by his side. By the way, Fragnance continues to stream merrily on his Twitch channel, as he also wants to level his Shadow Priest to level 110. Do you also want to level up quickly and grab all achievements in Legion? Then check out our collection of topics on Legion!
Mein-MMO says: It’s really nothing new that particularly hardcore players reach the maximum level just hours after release, which an average player takes many days to achieve. Nevertheless, I always find it impressive how effective and disciplined players can be when it comes to such accomplishments. But what do you think? Do you respect such achievements or do you find it silly to rush through the content?

Gameplay footage for multiplayer has been released for For Honor. It features a strong comeback of the Samurai faction.
For Honor is one of the most exciting games set to release early next year. The release date is February 14, 2017. Both at E3 and Gamescom 2016, the brutal melee game impressed critics and fans alike.
In addition to a campaign mode, the game also offers a significant multiplayer experience. According to YouTuber Arekkz Gaming, the single-player mode is really cool, but he is truly excited about the multiplayer. In the following video from him, you can see fresh gameplay:

It is played in Dominion mode, a mode similar to the Control mode in Destiny. You have to capture and hold zones. It is a 4v4 mode where you fight not only against other players but also against AI.
The gameplay was recorded at Gamescom 2016, although the audio quality leaves something to be desired. However, the footage is impressive: Initially, it did not look good for Arekkz, but he managed a strong comeback as a Samurai. This is made possible by the “Art of Battle.”

The Open Beta for Battlefield 1 is now available for download for all interested parties.
EA has just opened the servers for all Battlefield fans. Every curious hobby soldier can download the open beta now and get a first impression of the upcoming shooter.
The Open Beta is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. You can start the download in the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or on Origin. You can find it in the Demos and Betas section.
How big is the BF1 Open Beta
On all platforms, the beta is said to be a little over 6.1 GB, with exactly 6.547 GB on PS4.
EA has not yet announced how long the Open Beta will last. However, the date September 8 is circulating on the internet. This date is also indicated in the PSN Store.
World of Warcraft: Legion offers cool Class Halls instead of Garrisons, where all members of our class can meet and devise plans against the Legion. But what else is in the Class Halls?
Even if the Class Halls in the current WoW expansion are often referred to as “Garrison version of Legion,” they are something different. Instead of building a base completely from scratch, the Class Halls are already quite finished, and the upgrade options are rather limited. But what exactly are the Halls?
What are the Halls good for?
The Class Halls are the center of our war efforts against the Burning Legion, making them something like the “Normandy” spaceship for Commander Shepard in Mass Effect. There we meet not only important NPC members of our class but also other players. The Class Hall is the peaceful gathering point of all heroes of a class, regardless of Horde or Alliance.
But that’s not all, you can perform the following functions in the Class Hall:
There are training opportunities everywhere where you can test your DPS, healing performance, or tank abilities.
Through the Class Hall, you choose your next steps against the Legion and decide which area your journey will lead you to next.
The Class Hall contains a forge where you can further develop your Artifact weapon with artifact power.
Our class quests are usually started through the Class Hall, as well as the quests to acquire additional Artifact weapons.
In the Class Hall, we can train followers (Champions) and send them on missions. The Champions can complete quests for us or fight alongside us.
Special vendors offer unique goods for us.
Small snippets of the backstory of Legion can be found everywhere.
If you want to return to Dalaran, there is also a handy portal in the Class Hall.
The Class Hall can actually be further upgraded. Using “Order Resources,” which we find repeatedly, we can further train our Champions or give the Hall some useful upgrades. This becomes especially interesting from level 110, but costs us a lot of Order Resources.
That’s all about the function of the Class Halls. You can find a overview of the individual Class Halls for each class in our collection article at the provided link. If you are looking for more guides and information about the contents of Legion, then check out our thematic collection on Legion!

In the MMO shooter Destiny, we look at the inventory of the gunsmith. Because today, on August 31st, it’s Weapons Day.
Today is Wednesday. Experienced Guardians know immediately: On this day, the weekly Weapons Day takes place. The NPC in the Tower named Banshee-44 brings you your weapon orders and is happy to accept new forging orders.
Before he does you this favor, you must climb in his reputation rank. If you have significantly increased your standing with him, he even has exclusive quests with special exotic weapons for you. Furthermore, you can visit the gunsmith to replenish your supplies of syntheses, weapon parts, and telemetries.
These test weapons want to go into battle
To rank up in reputation, you can complete field test weapons every week. This week, the following weapons are available:
An automatic rifle from Häkke wants to take down the Cabal.
A fusion rifle from Omolon has its sights set on Vex Minotaurs.
A hand cannon from Omolon is not so picky. It takes all kinds of Vex.
A pulse rifle from Suros also wants to eliminate the Vex.
Another pulse rifle from Suros wants to take down Hive targets.
Which 5 weapons can be ordered?
At the gunsmith, you can order these forging orders for 2500 Glimmer:
First up is the Häkke automatic rifle Arminius-D. The weapon belongs to the archetype with the lowest impact, but has a rate of fire of 100.
From Omolon comes the scout rifle Tuonela SR4. Rate of fire 37, impact 48.
If you want a powerful hand cannon, Häkke’s Judith-D is of interest to you.
Additionally, the Häkke pulse rifle Lyudmila-D is available. High impact is required here.
Lastly, Banshee-44 offers a sniper rifle from Häkke: Tamar-D. With an impact of 22, it is one of the snipers with lower damage.
These weapons can be claimed with these perks
The scout rifle DIS-47 comes with Custom Stock, Roulette, and Hand-Loaded Stock.
The fusion rifle Thesan FR-4 has Hand-Loaded Stock and Scope. Very strong!
The hand cannon Judith-D comes with Scope and Smallbore.
For the rocket launchers, you should choose one of those with grenades and horseshoes.
The scout rifle Suros DIS-43 does not come with good perks.

The developer studio Wildcard has teased a huge, unique mega-update for the survival MMO ARK: Survival Evolved.
What it is about has not yet been revealed. For this, they are keeping it for tomorrow, Thursday, when the official announcement is set to follow on Twitch. However, a teaser image was published, but not much can be seen. Since the developers refer to the update as a “Brontosaurus-sized reveal,” it might have something to do with new dinos.
Xbox version will be enhanced
This coming weekend, the gaming fair PAX East will take place, where Wildcard will also be present. There, they also plan to showcase the new content. Additionally, the developers talked about an upcoming update for the Xbox One version of the game. This will improve the graphics and introduce true 720p rendering with a 1080p user interface. Meanwhile, they are still in negotiations with Sony, who are still hesitant to release the MMO in early access on the Playstation 4. They want to wait for the final version.
Soon a new hero might enter the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm – is it the Alliance King Varian Wrynn?
Varian Wrynn – from one chaos to the next
The plans for the near future of Heroes of the Storm have actually already been revealed. First, the Protoss Alarak enters the Nexus, followed by Zarya from Overwatch, to serve the game as a new tank.
But what comes next? Data miners have extracted an image that at least gives a first hint as to which character, after the two mentioned above, could also land in the Nexus. But let’s first take a look at the said image:
In general, this image doesn’t seem to reveal much – a volcanic eruption with a strange fortress in front of it, whose architecture is difficult to associate with a specific Blizzard title. The actual hint lies in the filename of the image, as it reads “homescreenbackground_varian_rails”.
The fans didn’t take long to associate the standout word “Varian” with the King of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn. This character would likely appear as a warrior while bringing along his two swords, known from so many cinematics and battles.
Varian has already been immortalized in Hearthstone.
(World of Warcraft spoiler): At least in terms of timing, the release of Varian in Heroes of the Storm would make perfect sense. After all, the King of Stormwind dies in the introductory experience of Legion and could thus live on not only in the hearts of the players but also in another game.
So far, this is all just speculation and a single image does not make a hero. As soon as there is a concrete announcement or at least further hints about the legendary warrior from World of Warcraft, we will report on it.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In addition to artifact power, there is also artifact knowledge in World of Warcraft . We will explain how it benefits you.
Knowledge is Power – More Knowledge is More Power!
For newcomers and returnees, the system around artifact weapons is not that easy to understand. As soon as you reach level 110 and have at least a rough understanding of what artifact power is, players throw around a new term: artifact knowledge. But what exactly does it do? And how does it benefit my character? How can I gain more artifact knowledge? We will explain this in this little guide.
Artifact knowledge only becomes relevant once your character reaches level 110. You will then receive new missions in your class hall that introduce you to the new feature. You should spend a moderate amount of class resources to send out some researchers who will gather more information about your weapons. For every 500 resources, the researchers will head out and return after 5 days. Each time they return, you will receive an item that allows you to increase your level of artifact knowledge. Simply put, artifact knowledge increases the rate at which you gain artifact power.
The following table shows the increase your character receives.
Level Artifact Knowledge
Increase of Artifact Power
1
20%
2
50%
3
90%
4
140%
5
200%
6
275%
7
375%
8
500%
9
650%
10
850%
11
1100%
12
1400%
13
1775%
14
2250%
A simple example: An item increases the artifact power of the equipped weapon by 100 points. If your artifact knowledge is already at level 1, this value would rise to 120 points (100 + 20% = 120). At an artifact knowledge level of 13, the same item would grant a whopping 1875 points (100 + 1775% = 1875).
This system leads to even supposedly “small” items becoming quite useful.
By the way: It makes no sense to keep all the items from the leveling phase that grant artifact power until the end. Although most items gained through “level questing” scale with artifact knowledge, artifact power is not a limited resource – the small bonuses during leveling will pay off in the long run.
Latecomers Have It Easier
Those who join the expansion later particularly benefit from this system. As time goes on, the research for artifact knowledge can be conducted faster. Instead of waiting 5 days for a new level, newcomers could need only 3 or even 2 days to catch up with the veterans. But it also pays off for twinks if you want to switch characters during the course of the expansion. The farming time for artifact power is drastically reduced.
Finally, here are a few general notes about artifact knowledge:
Artifact knowledge increases the rate of artifact power gain for all specializations of the character. A Shadow Priest with “Artifact Knowledge Level 8” would thus automatically have level 8 for their Holy weapon as well.
Artifact knowledge also reveals more about the backstory of the weapon! In the class hall, there is a book that is regularly updated and reveals new information about the weapon. Check back regularly once you’ve gained a new level of artifact knowledge.

Clever developers have mixed the idea of No Man’s Sky with Super Mario. What comes out of it is No Mario’s Sky – a complete, playable game.
No Man’s Sky is a procedurally generated indie game, in which you fly through a gigantic galaxy, of which you will only see a fraction in your entire life. Because every planet, every plant, and every creature is created only when a player is approaching. Otherwise, the incredible scale of the space simulation could not come about.
Procedurally generated is also No Mario’s Sky – a game that was recently crafted during “Ludum Dare 36” in just a few days. “Ludum Dare” is an event for game developers, where themed games are cobbled together in a short amount of time. This time the theme was “old technology”.
According to Finder AU, No Mario’s Sky was created by a team called ASMB games, which consisted of developers from Moonman, 1bardesign, and Horsedrawn Games.
What is No Mario’s Sky?
In the game, you can stomp thousands of Gumba variants. Gumbas are the nasty brown mushrooms that everyone knows who has played Super Mario. Furthermore, there is supposed to be an “infinite universe”, the “original” music, and realistic physics. Additionally, Mario has a spaceship by his side, with which he can fly through the universe.

It remains to be seen whether and in what form Nintendo will respond to this indie game. After all, they are rarely pleased when their products are repurposed. The developers state that Mario is intellectual property of Nintendo and No Man’s Sky is intellectual property of Hello Games. Any resemblance is, however, coincidental.
Just a few weeks ago, “Pokémon Uranium”, a years-long fan project, was removed at Nintendo’s request. Whether No Mario’s Sky is in for a similar fate will be revealed in the future.

How did the first hours in Legion go? Were there major problems at the launch of the World of Warcraft expansion? Cortyn reports after a long night.
16 hours of Legion, 16 hours of expectations fulfilled
Okay, okay. I exaggerated. Since the servers allowed access to the Broken Isles just before midnight, I have been roaming those islands and have completed 4 out of 5 zones in the meantime. World of Warcraft really got me hooked again at the launch of Legion, and unfortunately, my whole environment has to suffer because of it (work included: Hi, Schuhmann).
Even though there were some issues along the way, this was for me the most successful and smoothest launch of an expansion ever. There were no long queues for quests or obstacles in phasing. From level 100 to 108, I encountered only one problem, and that was the fatigue of my not-so-loyal partner, who unfortunately threw in the towel just after 3:00 AM.
Right here, I was able to benefit from the new systems of Legion: The zone Azsuna was put on hold, and I simply moved on to Val’Sharah to gather enough artifact power for my weapon and to level up a few stages. Nearly 7 hours later, my colleague was awake again, and the questing continued – I at level 107 and he still at level 101. The new scaling system ensures that the battles and rewards remain worthwhile for both players. Since everyone has different amounts of free time, this system builds new bridges and ensures that no one has to feel guilty for not having time or for having advanced ahead.

I could probably talk about this for hours, but I notice that my overtired words are already becoming confusing. For the evening planning, the first steps in Suramar are still on today’s agenda so that I can finally make some nice eyes at the First Arcanist of the Nightborne – at least until sleep forces me to bed.
Tomorrow I will take the time to put a test on paper that should be up here by the evening at the latest. Until then: Have fun in Legion and take some demons to the grave!
How did you perceive the launch and how far are you in leveling now? Are you taking your time, or do you want to reach level 110 as quickly as possible to focus on raid preparation?
P.S: By the time you read this, it is probably past 8 PM… I wish you a good night.
At Paragon, the free-to-play MOBA in open beta status for PC and PS4, endless matches have been challenged. In addition, with the latest update, epic rare cards make their debut in the game.
Paragon: The Problem
Mobas like LoL, Smite, and Heroes of the Storm are becoming increasingly popular and have a loyal, growing community. This also includes Epic Games’ recently launched Paragon in open beta. However, what deters many interested players from delving deeper into MOBAs is the often long match durations, which can seem daunting.
Not everyone has the time to dedicate themselves completely to an intense match for 30-40 minutes. When two balanced teams face off, games can even last between 60 and 90 minutes until a critical mistake by one side seals the victory for the other.
Grim.exe against Gideon – Technology versus Magic
Although the recently announced average match length in Paragon was “only” 41 minutes, Epic Games’ Creative Director Steve Superville considers extreme cases of 90 minutes or more unacceptable. Therefore, measures have been and continue to be taken to reduce such time wasters. For instance, last week they reduced the health points of the T2 towers and the main orb bearer and also shortened its respawn timer.
With the current update, risky maneuvers that result in your death will be punished harsher as party duration increases. While players could previously be forced to watch their team members for up to 90 seconds, this is now increased to up to 105 seconds. This is intended to give players just that little bit more time to get closer to destroying the core in balanced matches.
Epic Rare Cards in Paragon
However, with the update, epic rare cards are making their debut in the game. These are cards that come with special mechanics. For example, with “Heavenly Mask,” you can switch freely between increased damage, resistance, or mana regeneration. The catch is that “Heavenly Mask” cannot be upgraded.
Other cards, like “Teleport Blitz” or “Connection Strike,” allow for a short teleport in the sight direction, with 35% of the base mana points or 20% of health points needing to be spent or lost first. In total, 9 epic rare cards will initially be added, which can be obtained through playing and earning reputation in card packs.
All those who are proficient in English can view the complete lineup of epic rare cards along with their respective effects here.

Even in South Korea, MMOs no longer have the status they once did. The gaming industry is in crisis.
The Financial Times South Korea has published a highly interesting article that deals with the South Korean gaming market: Especially with the two dominant MMO companies NCSoft (Blade and Soul, Guild Wars 2, Lineage) and Nexon (Maple Story), it critiques them, citing market experts and game developers.
The Korean MMO giants were still in a strong position in 2009, having established the “freemium” model, dominated the Korean market, and also controlled the market in China. These golden times are now definitely over, it is believed.
South Korea now stands on League of Legends and Overwatch
South Koreans have relied too much on “graphically demanding and complex MMORPGs.” Games that are not accessible and fallen out of favor with players.
Today, players prefer faster games like Overwatch and they enjoy playing on their smartphones. Both are trends that South Koreans cannot follow. Western games like Overwatch or League of Legends now dominate the market. Chinese and Western developers have recognized the signs of the times, developed their own successful freemium models, and significantly better mobile games.
Instead of Korean games making a ton of money in China, the tables are slowly turning and Chinese mobile games are generating revenue in South Korea.
Yum, yum. Korean market shares.
The MMORPG know-how becomes a disadvantage
They cite a South Korean mobile developer who laments: The own focus on MMORPGs now becomes a disadvantage, preventing titles from going global. Five years ago, says an analyst from Credit Suisse, this would have been completely unthinkable.
NCSoft has not released a new game since Blade and Soul in 2012; Nexon’s fresh games like MapleStory 2 or Sudden Attack 2, it is further stated, were not hits.
This also affects the market numbers in South Korea. The growth of titles abroad has fallen to 7%, far below the double-digit growth rates that were still present until 2012. Developers are withdrawing from MMOs and increasingly focusing on mobile. However, at the moment, some experts see darkly whether South Koreans can compensate for the advantages of the Chinese and Western developers.
The genre needs a hit – could Lineage Eternal be it?
In recent years, many companies have had to cut jobs and profits have also declined. Analysts and experts who are cited recommend that the gaming industry try different games, use augmented and virtual reality, and develop games for more platforms. The keyword is “diversity.”
The trend described in the article in South Korea has been observed for a while. Some second-tier MMORPGs, which were supposed to come to Europe, were shut down in South Korea during or shortly after that, like Echo of Soul or Devilian, as publishers withdrew from the MMORPG market and focused on the mobile market. The companies are aware of this trend.
NCSoft plans with “Lineage Eternal” to create a “contemporary” MMORPG with significant mobile influences. However, this has already been postponed multiple times. Analysts attribute immense significance to the game for the future of the company NCSoft.
Here in the West, the “AAA-MMORPG” with a large budget has been in crisis for at least two years now. Some believe that WildStar may have been the last of its kind in the summer of 2014. The bright spots in recent years were South Korean AAA-MMORPGs like Black Desert or Blade and Soul that have appeared here in the West.
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!

The satire format uses the typically exaggerated epic style of trailers from the entertainment industry, but does not say any promotional, nice things, instead distributing a nasty, satirically sharpened form of “truth.”

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:
