In No Man’s Sky, the future might bring an “Xbox One” version. A user found hints about it in the PC data.
A few days ago, the launch of No Man’s Sky on PS4 and PC kicked off. Numerous explorers are now zooming through space and making one discovery after another. However, some are left empty-handed: The Xbox users.
So far, there are officially no plans for the gigantic space simulation to take off on Microsoft’s console, but now the findings of a data miner give hope: The NeoGraf user dragonbane presents the results after extensively combing through the PC data. The following is noted:
The founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, has never completely ruled out an Xbox version. In an interview with The Daily Star, he stated that he is not sure what he can say regarding this version. He must be very careful with his words.
There is still hope for “Xbox One” users – even if nothing is officially confirmed.
In the upcoming shooter Battlefield 1, the trailer for Gamescom has been released. Quality: Worth watching!
The upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 1, set to be released in October for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, takes place in a “World War I” setting. You will fight on land, in water, in the air, and even on horseback. It is supposed to be war on an “epic scale”.
Whether the game will be epic will ultimately be revealed at launch or during the testing phase of the upcoming open beta. However, fans have already seen that the creators of BF1 can create epic trailers, as they were already convinced during E3.
Now the official gameplay trailer for Gamescom 2016 has been released. This one is also worth watching:

In FIFA 17, new features of the “Pro Clubs” mode have been revealed. There are numerous innovations in this mode as well.
After the new features of the career mode in FIFA 17 were presented a few days ago, today it is time for the innovations in Pro Clubs. This mode is set for a significant overhaul.
Pro Clubs in FIFA 17
The “Pro Clubs” mode is one of the most popular modes among FIFA fans, as you march onto the pitch with your buddies and win – or lose – together. Teamplay and communication are crucial here. This mode delivers arguably the most intense online experience in the FIFA series.
In FIFA 17, Pro Clubs is set to be elevated to a new level in terms of team play and customization. The features are well known.
The Progress of Players
In FIFA 17, the way your players develop and improve is completely overhauled. The new system is based on the overall ratings of a match, so you need to focus on teamwork and cooperation as a team.
This aims to model real-world football as authentically as possible, in which teamwork is also the most important aspect.
Match Rating
After each completed match, you will receive a match rating. Depending on your position, certain aspects of your player level up faster. For example, a striker’s shot power improves faster than their defensive abilities.
You can always monitor your progress. After each match, you can see how your individual attributes have improved – depending on your match rating.
Attributes
Additionally, you can choose from a variety of new attributes with which you can customize your players and which influence the development of the player.
You can use “Skill Points” earned in-game to equip certain attributes. These relate to physicality, defending, dribbling, passing, shooting, and goalkeeper skills.
Each attribute costs a different number of “Skill Points.” You earn these by playing League or Cup matches.
Customization
In FIFA 17, you can create your own jerseys and crests for the first time.
For the jerseys, there are 24 templates that you can customize to give your club the necessary personality. You can choose primary, secondary, and tertiary colors to create a unique jersey.
Additionally, you have a large selection for custom crests. Here, you first choose the shape and then the color.
These new features in Pro Clubs in FIFA 17 are available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

In Destiny , we look at the Videos of the Week. Bungie contributes two clips that we complement with a work from our community.
Once a week, Bungie goes through all video submissions, picks a few of them, and announces: These are the best videos of the week. All Guardians who make it into this select group receive an exclusive badge. They can proudly show it off in the community.
This week, one video made it to the top, which we already presented a few days ago: A fan created a video that conveys the idea of Pokémon GO in Destiny:

Many of our readers were thrilled by it. Ninja Above finds it “definitely cooler than Pokémon GO.” Grant Slam, RagingSasuke, and Emre found a common word for it: “awesome.”
Additionally, Bungie selected a clip that showcases an impressive performance in the Crucible. One Guardian achieves 11 kills in 32 seconds. You don’t see something like this every day:

Finally, Bungie has a montage that is not available in Germany. The GEMA puts a stop to that. But don’t be disheartened. Instead, we now show you a montage from our community that can definitely be shown off.
It was edited by klangkarusell Edits and showcases some strong scenes from the user liddelponny:

What do you think of this week’s videos?
Do you also have something to show in Destiny? Are you creative? Or do you think: “Pah, that’s nothing yet! I can do much more!” Then prove it to us! Send us your works through the Mein-MMO contact form. If you have trouble sending, you can also send us the link to the video as a private message on Facebook.
In the latest stream of The Secret World, a kind of “Fashion Invasion” of the 80s was presented. In Funcom’s MMORPG, several cosmetics will soon be available that can immediately be associated with the 80s.
There are outfits that pay tribute to the fitness craze of that time, a homage to Michael Jackson will soon be in the wardrobe, and this strange 80s fondness for bright colors is also being addressed.
A new sprint appears with the mode of movement that symbolized the 80s: rollerskates.

The Secret World is essentially the counter-argument to the idea that a) all MMORPGs are somehow the same, b) look the same, and c) have the same story. On our game page for the iconic MMORPG, you’ll find a lot of articles from the history of the cult game.

WildStar will address the small wishes of the fans and announces many improvements.
10 Points for Improving Player Experience
Currently, WildStar is on the rise, at least the last quarterly figures paint a better picture than before. To keep it that way, the developers are releasing a wealth of information on what is set to change in the coming months. Especially many quality of life improvements are on the agenda.
The Holo Wardrobe is set to receive a few upgrades.
The developers want to work on the following things to improve the overall game feel:
account-wide toy box
account-wide bank
stackable runes and colors
wardrobe for armor
interface improvements for the auction house
price adjustments and increase in scope for the Holo Wardrobe
sorting options on the login screen
cross-faction messaging
additional action sets
reusable build kits
While there is currently no binding timeline for the points mentioned, at least the cross-faction mails will soon make their way into the game. The points mentioned are also only the “Top 10” of the requests – if the desired feature is not on the list, it may still become a reality at some point.

The ban concerns security risks arising from Pokémon GO .
About 70,000 employees were informed by Volkswagen that playing Pokémon GO puts the company at risk. Because the Pokémon app supports location tracking and camera usage, playing the app could result in trade secrets being revealed to third parties. Employees are now prohibited from using Pokémon GO during work hours and on company premises.
Employees were informed about security risks via email
In the email, employees were informed, for example, that Pokémon GO uses “geo-tracking”. With geo-tracking, the player’s location is recorded during gameplay. This information is stored on Pokémon GO servers and, according to the app’s terms of use, may be shared with third parties. Furthermore, sensitive information can be transmitted to third parties via the camera function when sharing catches via screenshot with friends or on the internet.
Due to these risks, the email explains that Pokémon GO cannot be used during work hours. Pokémon GO must not be installed on company-provided devices such as smartphones or tablets. Additionally, there is a general photography ban for non-business purposes on the company premises.
The PS4 update 4.00 enters the beta phase tomorrow. We provide a preview of the new features.
On August 16th, the beta program for the system software update 4.00 on the PS4 begins. If you registered for this test phase and were selected as a participant, you will receive an email with instructions for the download.
But also all other PS4 users who do not participate in the beta are informed via the PlayStation Blog about the new features they can look forward to with 4.00. We summarize them.
New Features with the PS4 Update 4.00
New User Interface
The update comes with a new user interface. Apparently, a lot of changes and improvements have been made. These include:
Redesigned pop-up notifications
Updated system icons
New backgrounds for the system.
This is meant to make the interface clearer and more user-friendly.
Quick Menu
By pressing the PS button on your controller, you can access the quick menu. This menu is designed to be faster and more user-friendly:
The menu now only covers part of the screen with 4.00, so you don’t have to leave the game completely.
It is possible to display the trophies of the game you are currently playing.
You can add shortcuts for features you want direct access to – such as the online status of friends or shortcuts to favorite groups.
Share Menu
The share menu, accessed with the share button, has been redesigned similarly to the quick menu. This one is also displayed on part of the screen.
You can post screenshots directly to the community board, making sharing faster and easier.
Longer video clips are now possible for Twitter – from 10 seconds up to 140 seconds.
Folders
A useful new feature is folders for organizing content on the PS4. In the content area and in the library, you can create folders to save favorite games and apps in one place and access them quickly.
In the library, there is a new tab called “Purchased Content”. Here, all content you own will be displayed. In the library, only the content currently installed on the PS4 will be shown. Additionally, new tools for sorting and searching will be added to the library.
Trophies
With the upcoming update, you can also view trophies offline. If you do not have an internet connection, there is the option for “Offline Mode”. Additionally:
With a new button, you can reveal the content of a hidden trophy. The trophy will still be hidden, but you will be able to see the trophy name and related info.
The symbols for the rarity of a trophy will be changed. Previously, they were filled boxes. The new symbol will look like a pyramid, with the extremely rare trophies at the top.
User Profile
The look of the user profile has been revamped. Now you can see important information about a player at a glance. For example, trophy progress is immediately compared with that of the other player. Additionally, you can use a screenshot as a background image for your profile.
What other features the update includes and when the release of 4.00 will be announced will all be revealed in the coming weeks.
What do you think of these innovations?

In Destiny there are new clues about a collection edition called “Destiny: The Collection.”
Update: The collection edition is now confirmed. There is also a trailer for it:
https://youtu.be/YHUCZNjnCGQ
Destiny: The Collection costs 60 dollars, releases on September 20, 2016, and includes the base game, the two expansions “The Dark Below” and “House of Wolves”, “The Taken King”, and “Rise of Iron”.
Players who purchase Destiny: The Collection digitally before September 20 can play all the content – except for “Rise of Iron” – immediately.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Original announcement:
Just about two weeks ago, screenshots of an interesting offer appeared out of nowhere on Amazon UK. These showed both a PS4 and an Xbox One version of “Destiny: The Collection” for a price of 50 British pounds, which is approximately 60 euros.
Due to the name, one could conclude that it was likely a collection edition with the base game and all previous expansions of Destiny. However, this was speculative. The authenticity of these screenshots was also partly questioned. However, further hints have now emerged.
The Collection is supposed to include everything so far and “Rise of Iron”
Fresh from the Xbox Store come more screenshots taken by Guardians that are now on reddit. According to these images, the box indeed includes the base game and all previous expansions. But also “Rise of Iron”:
This screenshot from the Xbox app reached us from our community. It confirms the contents of the upper image:
With the collection edition, there is also a level 40 character boost, so you can jump right into the new content. The pre-order bonuses, the Iron Gjallarhorn and the “Iron Gjallarwing” Sparrow, are also included. The content is expected to be available from September 20, 2016.
And there are now contradictions regarding this date. Because according to the screenshot of the Amazon offers, The Collection is supposed to be released on August 18 – coinciding with Gamescom. Therefore, we also assumed that if this screenshot was real, the collection edition would be released without “Rise of Iron”. After all, the autumn expansion alone costs 30 euros, so a total package with all expansions for just under 60 euros would be a real bargain.
In The Division, agents in the video demonstrate how to defeat the Four Horsemen in the Dragon’s Nest incursion on Heroic difficulty in just a few minutes. This is how they farm high-quality items in no time.
All agents want to get the best items in Ubisoft’s MMO shooter. However, high-quality weapons and armor usually come with a lot of time and effort. While solo agents can efficiently improve their character in the underground, a strike team also has the latest incursion, Dragon’s Nest, available – which offers delicious items on Heroic.
Many Horsemen drop a lot of loot
In this incursion, you will encounter the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They are powerful Cleaners who want to seize power. The special thing about them is: Each Horseman offers you the chance to loot max-score items on Heroic. Therefore, these enemies are often defeated to farm good loot.
The YouTuber OneManArmy – The Division shows how loot farming can be particularly efficient. Together with his task force, he manages to defeat the Four Horsemen in under four minutes from the start of the incursion. This way, they quickly acquire a variety of lucrative items. See for yourself:

According to the user, an agent used the Recovery Set with a maximum pulse generator, while the other three agents built on the powerful “Watch’s Call” set. They also relied on increased damage against elites and increased armor damage.
The user showcased his gear and skill build on Reddit:
Nearly 5500 firearms are definitely impressive. The most important weapon is the SOCOM M1A. The agent’s gear score is 245.
What do you think of this achievement? Do you also use the Four Horsemen to farm loot?
Do you have little or no experience with the Dragon’s Nest?
The planets in the online game No Man’s Sky are vast and full of resources, but your inventory is small. However, there are ways to expand it.
Collecting resources and objects is essential in No Man’s Sky. Not only do you need them to craft certain items or to recharge the life support systems of the spacesuit, the multitool, or the ship’s drive, but you can also trade with the raw materials. This helps you earn money, which you can use to buy items that you cannot quickly find or craft yourself. At the beginning of the game, the inventory slots are very limited, forcing you to trade more often with aliens at landings or at the marketplace on space stations.
More Space in the Spaceship
Fortunately, you have two inventories – one in your spacesuit and the other in the spaceship. However, you will quickly run out of space. If you want to give your ship more cargo space, you need to buy another ship that has more inventory slots. New spaceships are expensive, and you won’t always be able to buy one, as you first need to increase your reputation with the respective alien race. You can make an offer for the ship to any alien you meet along the way, but whether they accept it depends on how well you are regarded by their race and what you can pay.
More Space in the Exosuit
Especially regarding the Exosuit inventory, you need a lot of space. Because during your wanderings on planets, you need to ensure that you gather enough isotopes to keep your multitool and life support systems charged. Additionally, you will likely want to gather more raw materials and items. To create more space in the Exosuit, look for Drop Pods that you can find on planets. These small landing units provide you with an option to upgrade your spacesuit. You can identify Drop Pods by the orange beam they shoot into the sky. They will be displayed on the scanner as “Shelter”.
Finding a Drop Pod is not particularly easy, as you will also see other shelters, such as abandoned buildings, on the scanner, and you can never be sure if a Drop Pod is located there. Additionally, you can buy crafting recipes for a larger inventory from aliens at space stations. However, these merchants are “hiding” behind the locked doors that you can only open with an Atlas Pass. So there are ways to increase your inventory, but it is not easy.
A new glitch in Pokémon GO is causing frustration in front of gyms.
Originally, the eggs in Pokémon GO are meant for hatching new Pokémon. The eggs are divided into 3 distance categories, from which different Pokémon can hatch. A new exploit in the game is now allowing these eggs to be used for a completely different purpose and block gyms.
Invincible Gyms in Pokémon GO
In a thread on Reddit the new glitch was pointed out. It is “somehow” possible for a gym leader to place an egg instead of a “Pokémon” that is supposed to defend the gym. However, since eggs have no attacks and no HP, one cannot fight against these eggs or defeat them. The egg simply stays in place and blocks the gym, so other trainers cannot take it over. In the video, you can see what this glitch looks like in the game:

So far, there is no known way to “defeat” the eggs to take over a gym. Many reports about this glitch are coming from New York City, where for example the New York Times gym has been occupied by an egg.
If you see a gym that is occupied by an egg, you can report it to Niantic here. We advise against trying the glitch for yourself and attempting to place an egg in a gym. You risk getting your “Pokémon GO” account banned.

Ubisoft has launched a clever new advertising campaign.
In the style of a serious presentation of innovative technology, Ubisoft presents the new device “Nosulus Rift”, which is promised to be unveiled at Gamescom: It is essentially like the VR headset Oculus Rift…. only for the nose. The player does not see virtual reality, they smell it.

Allegedly, this is needed to do justice to the new “South Park” game: South Park – “The Fractured But Whole”. This puts [Spoiler Alert] immense emphasis on flatulence. Only with the Nosulus Rift can complete immersion be guaranteed.
For Gamescom, Ubisoft promises players the chance to try the Nosulus Rift at their booth. However, whether the device will actually go into mass production seems very questionable. It’s more likely to see the Nosulus Rift as a humorous, clever and product-appropriate advertisement for the South Park game.
In that sense – see you later.

In the upcoming space MMO Star Citizen, you will encounter not only other players, but NPCs will also play an important role.
In a new developer video, these NPCs were discussed among other things. Later this year, the first of these non-player characters will be introduced into the game with update 2.7. NPCs are meant to bring life to the landing zones and urban areas. You will see NPCs walking around there, even following daily routines. For example, at night you are more likely to encounter drunkards, entertainers, and criminals, while during the day there are more businesspeople going about their daily lives.
NPCs bring the game world to life
Moreover, shop owners, tourists, people shopping, vagabonds, workers, and others play an important role. When you land on a planet in Star Citizen, it should feel alive, with bustling activity. The developers explain that they want to make Star Citizen a dynamic and lively universe that does not feel static. Many NPCs who follow daily routines are part of this. How you can interact with them remains to be seen. Most passersby will likely greet you, while criminals may attack you.
Hire an NPC Crew
It is important that some of these NPCs can also belong to your crew. This means that some NPCs can be hired by you and take over certain stations on multi-crew ships. This way you can fly these spaceships even when you do not want to play with other players. The AI can then perform ship repairs or even take on the role of the pilot.
In the video, you can learn some more things, including how the skeletal system was applied to the new female character. You can watch the entire, nearly 30-minute video directly here:

In Destiny an unknown feature for PvP is set to be announced tomorrow. There are many indications that it involves “Private Matches.”
In some respects, “Rise of Iron,” the upcoming expansion for Destiny, is hard to label. Whereas in “The Taken King” there were iconic images of Oryx or the new subclasses, the direction is more difficult this time: Yes, the light level is increasing. A few new maps, weapons, and items are coming. And it is supposed to be about the Iron Lords like Saladin. A new PvP mode is also planned.
All things that sound reasonable and interesting, but nothing that might elevate Destiny to a new level. That could change tomorrow.
Tuesday at 7 PM we’ll know
On Tuesday, August 16, at 7 PM German time, there will be a Destiny livestream from Gamescom. New details about the Crucible are set to be presented. A feature that fans have long wished for is mentioned.
When one gets closer to what it could mean, it inevitably leads to “Private Matches” – that players have the opportunity to see in advance who they are playing against, invite opponents, form teams and then battle each other.
Rise of Iron – Private Matches would fit well
This would also fit the design of “Rise of Iron” – much about the DLC seems to want to offer players as much as possible without enough creative work time to create such a volume of new content – as was the case with The Taken King. So far, it seems that there are few truly new Strikes or missions, but more detail changes, a lot of cosmetics, and nostalgia.
Many are things that hardcore fans have long desired, but apparently do not require as much time as “Why not create a new planet” or “We want entirely new storylines with dozens of missions.”
In such a “Much effect with as little work time as possible” calculation, Private Matches would fit well.
Gjallarwing and Iron Gjallarhorn – little effort, much effect.
Community could engage itself with Private Matches
“Private Matches” would be a seemingly unremarkable feature at first glance, but could keep players entertained in the long run, especially in times without new content. Because it provides the many strong communities around Destiny the chance to give something to their members. They can maintain their relationships with the community, host their own tournaments and small events, and streamers could play against viewers and it opens the door to “esports.”
In recent months, when very little was happening in Destiny, we repeatedly received requests asking if we would support “private tournaments.” Streamers or clans had come together to host tournaments over the weekend. With some improvisation, simultaneous registrations, occasional withdrawals, and a lot of trivialities this is already possible, but a sleek and clear solution would certainly be preferred.
The demand is definitely there.
Hard to understand why Private Matches have taken so long
There isn’t much found that speaks against “Private Matches.” Perhaps Bungie was still wary of the “bureaucratic structure” that came with something like this at the time of release.
Looking back, it’s hard to understand why this mode was missing so far. Even before the launch, when Bungie presented the concept of the Crucible to the fans, they themselves arranged “private matches” where well-known players would compete against Bungie dev teams to provide the audience with a spectacle.
Without “Private Matches,” they probably wouldn’t have found each other…

Your collection in Pokémon GO mainly consists of Pidgeys? Here’s how to use them wisely!
Most Pokémon trainers will know the problem when their bags are full of “common” Pokémon. Caterpies and Pidgeys stack up in the inventory of the many millions of “Pokémon GO” players who don’t even know what to do with them. Fortunately, creative minds in the trainer community have come up with ideas on what to do with the birds.
Let the birds chirp!
All that Pidgeys need is the right name. YouTuber Chem Hung recently showed in a video how important the right name for a Pidgey can be. It’s not about controlling evolution like it is with Eevee, but rather a high art.

By the way, there are also “serious” ways to make use of the masses of common Pokémon properly. For example, you can get quick level-ups with many Pidgeys.

In No Man’s Sky, PC players can address the issues by downloading a patch. However, it is still “experimental”.
No Man’s Sky had a remarkable launch, providing the largest launch in 2016 on Steam. Despite this success, everything in the space simulation is not going smoothly. PC players are complaining about numerous performance issues, which significantly affect the gaming experience. Hello Games is responding.
Two solutions for the problems
The developers are currently providing two solutions that can alleviate frustration at least. To make No Man’s Sky run smoother on PC, you can work through this list of workarounds on the Steam Community Hub. Here you will find provisional solutions to frame rate issues, stuttering, or texture flickering.
If these workarounds do not help you, you can also resort to “drastic measures”: An “Experimental Branch” version is available, which is still being tested, and Hello Games is still uncertain if it is ready for the general public. In this “beta patch”, some performance optimizations are being addressed. Additionally, mouse stuttering, shader caching, and game crashes when exiting via Alt-Tab are being revised.
A release date for this patch for the “normal version” of No Man’s Sky has not yet been announced.If you want to participate in the experimental phase, proceed as follows:
Go to the Steam game library and right-click on the game name.
Select “Properties” and click on the “Betas” tab.
Enter the code “3xperimental”.
An option for the Experimental Branch will be unlocked in the pull-down menu. Now Steam will download the new version.
If you want to play the normal version again, you can deactivate the test version at this point through the pull-down menu.
Thanks to the demon invasions, twinks in World of Warcraft can literally level up by themselves.
Update: Blizzard has now reduced the experience points received from the event. Therefore, the information below is no longer current.
Up to 3 Level-Ups per Demon Invasion
For several days now, the Age of the Legion has begun in World of Warcraft. Although the actual expansion is still a few days away, the demon invasions occur every 4 hours. Three days ago (on August 12), a new hotfix was applied to the invasions, which changed some details about the invasions.
The most exciting change is probably for everyone who does not want to painstakingly level their twinks. Each of the 4 phases of a demon invasion is now rewarded with a large chunk of experience points.
What’s special about it: The character does not even need to actively participate in defending against the invasion! As long as one stays in the corresponding area, a large amount of experience points is credited for completing each phase. In combination with appropriate heirloom gear, twinks at low levels (between 10 and 30) receive approximately one level per phase of the invasion – the 4th phase, by the way, brings particularly many XP.
Leveling in flight – while not playing at all.
At higher player levels, the events give (proportionally) less experience points, so only 1-2 level-ups occur (even less in the 90-100 range). However, the fact that you can also gain XP while doing something completely different makes visiting the invasions worthwhile. One can only wonder if this article was written while a shaman twink is finally being leveled in the background…
Tip: Those who can afford it should use their character just before completing the first invasion phase to throw in an “Elixir of the Flashthinker“, which increases the gained experience points by 300%. Then, with a single invasion, even up to 10 level-ups are possible.
A nice side effect for newcomers: The items from the reward chests are also quite strong at low levels. Those who do not need them can even sell them for 10-30 gold each – a decent sum for fresh characters.
Mein-MMO says: Normally, we are always a bit critical when players can exploit game mechanics where “other players do the work” while one just stands by AFK. However, the invasions are designed so that the other participants do not suffer any disadvantages. The enemies gain more health points depending on the number of characters fighting them. So, anyone who just “stands by and grabs XP” does not harm the rest of the player base – but also does not contribute to a faster completion of the invasion.
In No Man’s Sky, we show you a trick on how to move faster on the planets.
For No Man’s Sky, you should take your time. If you like hard action and enjoy rushing towards the game’s goal at insane speed, then this extensive space simulation is probably not for you. However, if you are curious and explore the planets while occasionally taking a moment to enjoy the sunset, you will thrive in No Man’s Sky.
Everyone plays the game at their own pace. You won’t be rushed. But if you want to explore the planets a bit faster or farm the needed resources more efficiently, we have a trick for you.
Move Faster on the Planets
If you don’t want to stroll leisurely across the surface of the planets, you have the sprint button available to dash from one resource to the next at increased speed. Additionally, you have a jetpack that allows you to hover from A to B.
The fastest way to move on a planet is with your ship. Arekkz Gaming now presents another method that will make you significantly faster than just using the sprint button alone:
