To generate proper attention and adequately prepare players for the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft: Legion, Blizzard continually releases new information. In addition to comics and cinematics, they have now also released the first part of the audio play “The Tomb of Sargeras”.
In exactly 26 minutes, the first part of the four-part audio play tells of Gul’dan’s arrival on the Broken Isles. The listener accompanies him on his journeys along the coast of Suramar. During this, one learns how Gul’dan communicates with the Legion and what his master Kil’jaeden orders him – and how much he dislikes fulfilling these instructions precisely. The Archdemon instructs the Orc to always head north to find the Tomb of Sargeras and fulfill “his destiny”.
The demon also does not tire of repeatedly mentioning that “the other” Gul’dan failed in this mission. Just as Gul’dan wishes to bend to the will of the demon, he spots a Night Elf Warden. He follows her to her camp and learns that the legendary Maiev Shadowsong is among the Wardens. However, just as Gul’dan intends to strike, another person appears on the scene. How the encounter ends and who else makes an appearance, you’ll best hear for yourself in “The Tomb of Sargeras: The Fate of Another”.

In Destiny we look at the innovations and the capabilities of the artifacts that “The Rise of Iron” brings.
In the upcoming fall expansion, the artifact slot will undergo a major overhaul. These items, introduced with “The Taken King,” gain “dramatically” in importance.
In “The Rise of Iron,” you can still use and infuse your previous artifacts, but eight brand new artifacts are added. These can be combined with any class and subclass. Each of these new items relates to deceased members of the Iron Lords, such as Felwinter, Jolder, or Skorri.
The new artifacts are available from Tyra Karn
In “Rise of Iron,” you will encounter a new character named Tyra Karn. She is your contact if you want to possess the cool “Iron Lords” artifacts. She sends you out into the infected lands, where you must perform great deeds in honor of the Iron Lords.
When you complete a task, you will receive an item called “Iron Lords’ Legacy”. With this item, you can purchase one of three artifacts from Tyra that she offers each week. It will take approximately eight weeks before you can obtain all the artifacts in this way.
Game-changing abilities of the artifacts
Each of these new artifacts has a “Game-Changing” ability. With one item, you can gain control of enemy units for a short time in close quarters. Another artifact removes your super but gives you two grenades, two melee attacks, and a boost to all your stats.
Each artifact can be combined with exotic weapons and armor pieces and subclasses, creating new “build” options.
By the way: Each artifact has a direct connection to the Iron Lords after whom they are named. For example, Jolder often charged headfirst into danger, which is why her artifact eliminates sprint cooldown.
On Reddit, there is already a list of all artifact abilities. According to this, they are as follows:
Memory of Radegast: This enables your swords (in the heavy weapon slot) to reflect projectiles. This also applies to Ogre attacks and rockets in the Crucible.
Memory of Perun: Guardians are marked in yellow when they have a full super and in red when their health is low.
Memory of Jolder: Sprint cooldown is removed.
Memory of Silimar: Damage over time is severely reduced (for example, the poison from the Thorn hand cannon).
Memory of Felwinter: The super is removed, but you gain an extra grenade and another melee attack. Additionally, there is a boost to all stats.
Memory of Gheleon: You receive a constant detailed radar. Even when aiming with primary weapons (grants precise radar and Third Eye).
Memory of Skorri: Increases the super recharge speed for all nearby allies.
Memory of Timur: Attack an enemy in close quarters to have a chance to temporarily turn them into an ally.
These eight abilities seem to be confirmed by now.
According to Gameinformer, it was a lot of fun to try out these artifacts. Additionally, the system, which will take several weeks to gather all artifacts, may ensure long-term motivation. Furthermore, guardians in the forums will likely actively discuss which artifact they chose that week or which ones are absolutely must-haves.
The latest patch from Overwatch brought a lot of new features. For a limited time, there is a completely new game mode and cool skins.
The Summer Games in Overwatch
The latest patch from Overwatch was quietly released again without much notice on the test server. Just in time for the start of the Olympic Summer Games, the characters of Overwatch are also striving for new best performances. Therefore, there are over 100 new cosmetic items that you can earn. You can see all the new skins and emotes in a quick overview in the official video from Blizzard.

The new game mode will be temporarily introduced in the form of a brawl and takes place on a completely new map. Basically, it’s a soccer match where 3 Lúcios compete against 3 others. Anyone who has checked out the game “Rocket League” knows exactly how funny it can end.
The new loot boxes are available only for the duration of the event, until August 22, 2016. They temporarily replace the regular loot boxes and can be obtained through leveling up. Each of these boxes contains at least one item from the Olympic collection, with multiple items possibly showing up at the same time. The special skins, voicelines, emotes, and victory poses can only be obtained until August 22; afterwards, they will no longer be available. They cannot be purchased with credits either.
If you don’t have to smile at this pose, you simply have no sense of humor.
Moreover, there were some bug fixes and improvements to the interface. Players can now also see who has registered as a group in the “Quick Play” mode. Additionally, there are small design changes on the map “Watchpoint: Gibraltar” to balance the ratio between attackers and defenders.

In World of Warcraft, the Exotic vendor Xur from Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny makes an appearance in Legion.
The creative minds at Blizzard have provided numerous humorous surprises with plenty of Easter eggs in their games. Several of the NPCs in WoW bear names that are familiar from various games and other areas of the entertainment industry.
The sixth expansion titled “Legion” will apparently not be an exception when it comes to amusing references. For the famous vendor Xur from Destiny makes a spectacular entrance.
Xur’ios brings items related to Destiny
Xur is a mysterious vendor in Destiny, who appears every Friday and brings random exotic items. Players eagerly check his inventory every weekend – as there might be something cool to enhance their characters.
In WoW, a vendor will now make an entry that has clear references to Destiny. In the mage metropolis Dalaran, on August 30th, Xur’ios will appear, who not only has this distinctive name but also bears a resemblance to the original Xur. Additionally, Xur’ios will have a special item every day that should be instantly recognizable to Destiny fans: There will be ‘Gjallar’s Horn’ or ‘Krota’s Shield’.
By the way, in WoW you don’t pay “Xur” with Strange Coins, but with Curious Coins.
In Destiny, we take a look at the progression system in “The Rise of Iron.” The new maximum Light Level makes a significant jump.
Now the time has come that many Guardians have been waiting for. Concrete details about the Fall expansion are being released. The major English-language site Gameinformer has secured the rights to announce the exclusive announcements for “Rise of Iron.”
This was shared by the site and Bungie yesterday evening. A nice trailer was released, containing details about “RoI.” About an hour later, GameInformer published several additional articles revealing upcoming, exciting aspects of Destiny’s Fall expansion.
Detailed reports have been posted online that we will thoroughly process over the next few hours so you won’t miss any information. Similar to Gameinformer, we want to take a closer look at each aspect. However, since we do not want to withhold any information from our readers, we will now summarize the most interesting innovations:
The Light Level will increase to 400.
The Festival of the Lost and the SRL return.
The hand cannon Dorn is returning.
Eight new artifacts will come, bringing very special abilities.
Numerous innovations affecting weapons and armor pieces.
Now let’s take a look at all the information related to the progression system in “The Rise of Iron.”
The level remains, the Light Level raises
Gameinformer spoke with Bungie for three days and extensively played the new expansion. They also discussed the new Light Level that can be achieved.
The character level remains at the current maximum of 40. However, in “RoI,” the Light Levels can be significantly increased. The current maximum is 335. At the start of the Fall expansion, you can achieve Gear up to 385.
This maximum will be increased to 400 once the hard mode of the new raid is unlocked. This is expected to happen a few weeks after the launch of “RoI.”
You can ascend in Light level with new rare (blue), legendary (purple), and exotic gear. Furthermore, Gameinformer states that the loot system with item drops seemed “very similar” to what is already known.
A unique triumph book for “RoI”
With “Rise of Iron,” you will receive a unique triumph book. Such an item is already known from the SRL event last winter and through the current “Year 2” triumph moments.
This book will accompany you throughout the entire expansion and record your progress. It also contains tasks that need to be completed. The more tasks you complete, the higher the “percentage” increases. At certain values, you will receive “new armor, emblems, and more.”
Many new options to beautify yourself
In “The Rise of Iron,” you will have numerous opportunities to change the appearance of your character. There will be “a large number of new weapons and complete armor sets.”
New sets can be obtained through the Iron Banner PvP event, through the Iron Lords (available via the triumph book), the Trials of Osiris, the new raid “Wrath of the Machine,” and the new arena “Archon’s Forge.” All factions will also offer you pretty things.
Furthermore, there will be “ornaments,” decorative items: a new aesthetic customization feature that allows you to change the “geometry and appearance” of individual armor and exotic weapons.
In Rise of Iron, the progression system will not be completely overhauled. The expansion aims to provide new content to discover. Moreover, the options for the Guardians to look and play as they wish will be “dramatically expanded.”

In Overwatch , a new system has been introduced. The Top 500 from each region will now be displayed – and will receive special rewards!
The Top 500 in Competitive Play receive a special spray logo
The ranked mode of Overwatch has been active for a few weeks. However, Season 1 is slowly coming to an end, as the leaderboard will reset in mid-August. After that, there will be a two-week break before the ranked mode, “Competitive Play”, starts its 2nd season.
Just before the end of the current season, Blizzard has introduced a new system that rewards players who belong to the best of the best. For several days now, players with a high rating receive a notification when they have climbed into the “Top 500”. As the name suggests, only the top 500 players per platform and region achieve this title. There is a distinction between PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as between China, America, Europe, and Asia.
Those who dream of climbing to this rank must have a skill rating of over 60. Only then does one have a chance to be included in the rank of the “Top 500”.
As a special reward, everyone who makes it into the Top 500 during a season will receive an animated spray logo. It is not necessary to hold the position in the Top 500 until the end of the season – a one-time ascension is enough. Those who successfully make the climb will be informed about it through the game interface.
Together with the reset of the skill ratings at the end of a season, the respective “Top 500” will also be reset. Previous matches will have no effect anymore and all players will start over from the beginning.
In the future, the system will be further expanded so that players can call up a list in-game to view the current Top 500 at any time.

In Destiny, new footage of “The Rise of Iron” has been released, containing some exciting details.
Numerous fans are looking forward to the upcoming autumn expansion “Rise of Iron” and are eager for any information they can get. It is now known how we will receive a wealth of delicious info: Through the major English-speaking site Gameinformer.
The site will make exclusive content announcements in the weeks leading up to the “Rise of Iron” and will provide the community with new videos, gameplay, and interviews – according to Gameinformer, even multiple times per week. The site just announced this. They have sat down with Bungie, played the expansion, and talked a lot about it.
A lot is coming your way with “Rise of Iron”
The site announced that Guardians can look forward to a variety of new weapons and armor pieces. There will be a new location called “Archon’s Forge”, where arena battles will take place, as well as new PvP modes in the Crucible. The upcoming raid will be called “Wrath of the Machine”.
Furthermore, the artifact slot is said to be reinvented: Starting this fall, it will provide a “game-changing” ability that combines the subclass with the equipment.
These are the details that Gameinformer just provided in text form about “The Rise of Iron”. However, they also released a trailer that reveals further details. Take a look:

And here’s another nice image showing three Guardians in the “Rise of Iron” setting: As part of this exclusive coverage, Gameinformer is holding a “Cover Art Contest”, where creative Guardians have the chance to have their works featured on the site.
The community manager DeeJ has also spoken out. He writes that he is currently relaxing and waiting for all the details that Guardians will now discover. He also emphasizes that these are not leaks. Instead, we are being officially informed about the game. In another tweet, DeeJ reveals that he now has a new favorite weapon in Destiny. The previous one was the Suros Regime, but in Rise of Iron he has found a new love.

Trion Worlds is so convinced of the turn-based MOBA Atlas Reactor that it made it a Buy-to-Play game. But now it seems to be backtracking a bit.
Originally, Atlas Reactor was supposed to launch as a Free-to-Play game. However, the Alpha was received so well by testers, and the management at Trion Worlds was so convinced of the game that it made it a Buy-to-Play game. But it seems they aren’t entirely sure about it either. Perhaps they fear that many players won’t notice the game among all the other MOBAs and tactical online games. Because now they announced they will introduce a free game mode.
Buy-to-Play and still free?
This means you can download Atlas Reactor for free and also play for free. Sounds like Free-to-Play? Kind of. However, there are limitations. You cannot access all the so-called Freelancers – the heroes in the game – and you are bound to the rotation, playing with the characters that are currently offered. During battles, you win so-called “Reward Caches” that contain cosmetic items, skins, emotes, titles, icons, and more. However, you can only open a limited number of Reward Caches within a given time.
No limitations with purchase
If you want to access all heroes and be free from any additional limitations, you can purchase Atlas Reactor for 20 dollars. Then you own the game with all its content. Currently, the tactical turn-based game is still in an Early Access phase, which is free anyway, but ends in seven days. This way, you can already get a feel for the game.
Atlas Reactor aims to bring more strategy to the otherwise action-packed MOBAs and therefore relies on a turn-based combat system that somewhat resembles the XCom series.
Ubisoft has officially announced the development of a movie based on The Division.
As recently reported on the Ubi blog, The Division is coming to the big screen. Starring will be Jessica Chastain (Interstellar, Zero Dark Thirty) and Jake Gyllenhaal (End of Watch, Nightcrawler). These stars will be in front of the camera at Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
This officially confirms what Variety reported back in June and The Hollywood Reporter in July.
Both actors are expected to take on producer roles with their companies Freckle Films (Gyllenhaal) and Nine Stories (Chastain) and will be directly involved in the development process of the “The Division” movie.
However, this will not be the only adaptation Ubisoft has planned for its blockbuster games. Movie adaptations of Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, and Rabbids are also currently in development. A promising “Assassin’s Creed” film featuring Michael Fassbender is already set to be released this coming winter.
There is no release date for the “The Division” movie yet. But it is now officially confirmed: It will come.
For more information on the The Division movie, read here:
The MMORPG Tibia was released in 1997 and is now almost 20 years old. However, the last secret has not yet been revealed.
For about ten years, there has been a door in the game that will only open when the player attempting to do so reaches level 999. Even after 20 years, this is an incredibly high level. However, a player is close to reaching this level. He is currently at level 998. So it will only be a few days before this last secret is revealed.
What is behind the door?
Actually, the door was integrated as a joke by the developers, but such things motivate the players. At the time when the door was added, the highest players were between levels 300 and 400. So there was still a long way to go before anyone could open the door. But now it will be the player Kharsek who will have this honor. He is the player with the highest level in Tibia, and soon he will know what is behind the mysterious door.
A Classic
Tibia is quite an old MMORPG that is played from an isometric perspective and strongly resembles Ultima Online. Nevertheless, it still has a loyal fanbase. There are always several thousand players online at the same time. The gameplay is quite classic. You create a hero from the classes Knight, Paladin, Wizard, and Druid and explore the vast fantasy land. Along the way, you encounter many monsters that you need to fight to obtain gold and better items. Your hero becomes stronger over time. NPCs give you quests that tell a story.
Depending on the server, you can participate in optional or open PvP. Tibia is free to play through the browser. So if you want to play a very classic MMORPG and can overlook outdated but still charming graphics, you can take a look at Tibia.

Was the success of Pokémon GO only short-lived? The mood among fans is getting worse.
Pokémon GO had an impressively good start worldwide and rekindled the Pokémon hype with several million players that had begun years ago on the Gameboy and television. Currently, many fans and players are dissatisfied with Pokémon GO, as the game is no longer what players were originally promised, for example, due to the removal of the “Nearby Feature” .
Pokémon GO has become worse rather than better for many players due to these changes. And actually, an online game should be the other way around.
No Tracks in Pokémon GO
Early players may still remember the feature that allowed tracking wild Pokémon based on displayed tracks. Originally, wild Pokémon were shown in the “Nearby” tab at different distances from the player. If a Pokémon was very close, the tracks disappeared. With a footprint, you still had to walk a few meters to find out where the Pokémon was located. You can learn how exactly this worked with the tracks in this guide on interpreting tracks in Pokémon GO.
Although this feature was not a “self-starter,” as you had to walk in different directions to find out where the sought-after Pokémon was located, you still had the option to hunt a specific Pokémon.
However, after a few days, this feature was faulty and showed that every Pokémon in the “Nearby” tab had 3 tracks—regardless of how close you were to the Pokémon. This led to significant confusion, as the actual tool only displayed random Pokémon that could only be found by luck. The “Nearby Bug” was a hot topic on social media for a long time, and many trainers complained about it in our Pokémon GO German group on Facebook.
As a solution to this bug, fans came up with the idea of creating live maps to record Pokémon locations.
Various tracking apps have since been banned by Niantic
The fact that fans set up an alternative for tracking Pokémon after the original system was full of bugs apparently did not please Niantic. It even went so far that various app operators were sent cease-and-desist letters to quickly stop their services. These apps and maps would “take the fun out of the game.”
This was especially about the services that extracted gameplay data and automatically displayed where which Pokémon stays for how long. However, there are apps built by the community where the locations of the monsters are manually entered. These are not prohibited and could be the last alternative for finding rare Pokémon.
Webedia has developed such an app for Pokémon locations. At “GO Map” you can check and record locations to help other trainers complete their Pokédex.
Promised in the trailer, now removed
Tracking and finding wild Pokémon is an important part of the game concept. It doesn’t have to be that one gets an arrow leading them exactly to a wild Pokémon and just has to follow a kind of navigation system.
On the other hand, the feature as it currently stands in the game is not very helpful either. All one knows is “Ah, there is an Onix nearby, now I just have to randomly walk in the right direction until it suddenly appears before me.”.
If one is going for a walk anyway and catches the Pokémon that come across, the problem is smaller. However, if you are looking for a specific Pokémon “Nearby,” this experience can be quite frustrating. Let’s take another look at the official trailer for Pokémon GO.

At the beginning of Pokémon GO, the developers didn’t think it was such a bad idea to guide players in a certain direction to track and catch wild Pokémon. They assumed it wouldn’t “take the fun out of the game” to know where wild Pokémon are located.
What does Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO, say about the problems?
A major problem that many players mention is Niantic’s poor communication. A community manager is currently being sought. This is also necessary, as so far players have been left in the dark regarding issues, bugs, or future patches. Concrete plans or solutions to problems have rarely been discussed. Interestingly, the former head of PokéVision, one of the “banned websites” for tracking Pokémon, wants to apply for the community job.
We are curious to see how the largest MMO of all time develops and hope that it gets better again. The first step in the right direction has already been taken – today there was an official statement on the issues on Niantic’s Facebook page. Main topics: Frustration over lack of communication and the missing tracker.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Players had to wait a long time for what the developers of Pokémon GO would say about the current problems.
There is a major problem with Pokémon GO regarding the lack of communication. Many trainers want to know what is currently in planning, what the developers are thinking, or if they are aware of the current problems in the game. However, the developers remained silent and did not inform the trainers through Reddit or social media about what is happening in the game. In the meantime, there is a message on Facebook.
This is what Niantic says about the recent changes in Pokémon GO
In a statement on Facebook, Niantic addressed why the recent changes occurred and what the plans behind them are. The “Nearby Bug” caused a lot of frustration, but the feature for tracking Pokémon has now been completely removed. Niantic states:
“We removed the footprint display from the game to improve the underlying design. Even though the original feature was liked by many, it was confusing and did not meet our goals for the product.”
The ban on websites like PokéVision
Various apps that offered Pokémon GO players an alternative to the “Nearby” function were banned by Niantic and received cease-and-desist notices.
“We have limited access to third-party websites that have prevented us from delivering the quality of Pokémon GO that we envisioned to our players. The large number of users made the launch of the game ‘interesting’. And we are not done yet. Yes, Brazil, we want to bring the game to you (and many other countries where it has not yet been released).”
Niantic also stated that they read all posts and emails and are aware of the frustrations caused by the game not being released in some countries and that important features were removed. Niantic emphasizes that they are working “like crazy” to make the game work as it is released in more countries. “If you haven’t been able to read tweets from us, it’s because our heads are buried in work. We will do our best to keep you updated on what is happening in the future.”
Mein-MMO believes:
Finally, there is the long-awaited statement from Niantic. In 2016, you cannot keep your players in the dark when launching such a successful game. A more direct connection to the community is important to keep a game running and to maintain a positive fanbase.

In Destiny , two hints from the last livestream raise questions.
“The Rise of Iron” is coming fast. On September 20, winter will break in, bringing not only heaps of snow but also a new threat: SIVA.
Until the release of “Rise of Iron”, the developers will gradually reveal new information about the content of the autumn expansion. The next announcement will take place during Gamescom. Here, Bungie intends to introduce the “new Crucible”.
However, there are still a few days left. Guardians will ambitiously use this time to discover every little detail from the last livestream of the “Cosmodrome Winter Tour”. YouTuber Arekkz Gaming showcases two hints in the following video:

During the livestream, we were introduced to the new danger: SIVA. It appears everywhere in the Cosmodrome – and in the Plaguelands – in the form of red “roots” covered with black, pyramid-shaped objects. We know that SIVA is supposed to be both organic and mechanical and represents a self-replicating technology. But so far, everything about SIVA remains highly secretive and mysterious.
The first discovered hint is a SIVA symbol marking a patrol. The symbol was only briefly visible on screen. However, the developers did not give it any attention, so it can only be speculated what kind of mission will be associated with it. This patrol may resemble those of the Taken patrols: You need to visit a specific location and cleanse it of Splicers (the new enemies).
The second hint was briefly visible in the bottom left of the screen when a Guardian in the fireteam collected a previously unknown object: “Dormant SIVA Clusters.” This item has the quality “Legendary,” but what it entails remains a subject of speculation. Arekkz suggests that these could be crafting items needed for a specific quest. For example, the gunsmith or a completely new character could craft a cool weapon. Perhaps even a new Exotic? However, the function of these dormant SIVA Clusters remains entirely unknown.
Now it’s your turn. What theories do you have about what this item could be – and the new patrol symbol?

The Legion of World of Warcraft is right at the door. A detailed trailer reveals what lurks on the Broken Isles.
The Legion Approaches and Brings Video Material
Those who are not part of the beta for World of Warcraft: Legion yet have received a large part of their information only through fan sites and the rather short trailer from GamesCom. To let players see a bit more of the graphical innovations and the numerous contents, Blizzard has now put together a new trailer with six and a half minutes of in-game material. It features a detailed tour of the Broken Isles. All areas are briefly shown, from Val’sharah to Suramar. It also includes a look at all instances that the expansion has to offer at launch.

The demon invasions alluded to in the trailer will begin next week, on August 10, 2016. At the same time, the Demon Hunters will be released, available to all who pre-order.
Mein-MMO says: With all the livestreams, comics, cinematics, and trailers, Blizzard is launching a true information offensive for the latest expansion this time. Almost no day passes without something new appearing about World of Warcraft: Legion. The goal is certainly that former players inevitably come into contact with WoW again and may be persuaded to return. Whether the Broken Isles will deliver what all the releases promise will be revealed in just about a month – because then Legion launches.
You can find more news, articles, and guides around Blizzard’s MMORPG on our World of Warcraft game page. More specific information about the upcoming expansion can be found on our Legion overview page.

The top-down shooter Livelock will be released soon. Here is the story trailer.
Humanity on the brink of extinction recognizes only one way to somehow survive. They let go of “living” in the stricter sense, limiting themselves to existing in the broader sense.
This is what Livelock is about – the story of the shooter for PC, PS4, and Xbox One
Humanity sheds all earthly and physical aspects, transfers consciousness into artificial intelligences, becomes robots, plans for a time after the bombs have fallen. But then something goes wrong.

Olympics enter Overwatch . Tomorrow, a new batch of skins, emotes, and other customizations is expected!
The Heroes of Overwatch at the Olympics
Even before the release of the last heroine Ana, Blizzard promised that players can expect new skins and other cosmetics for Overwatch this year. Without much lead time, Blizzard has now teased that new skins are on the way and will probably be available tomorrow, on 03.08.2016, after the maintenance work.
Several fan sites report that they received a box from Blizzard containing some cards showcasing the Overwatch heroes. The special thing about it: they showed the heroes already with new skins that are all thematically associated with the upcoming Olympic Games.
The cards feature Tracer, Zarya, and Lúcio at the Olympic Games, each in a suitable outfit. While Zarya is dedicated to weightlifting (who would expect anything else?), Tracer is likely participating in cross-country skiing.
How do you get the new skins?
Some details about obtaining the new skins are already known. There will be a special event until 22.08., during which loot boxes can either be purchased or earned in-game. However, how exactly one can earn the loot boxes is still unclear. It is possible that they temporarily replace the other loot boxes or can be earned in entirely different ways – for example, after each victory. However, the new boxes are guaranteed to contain at least one item from the new set – such as a skin, a voiceline, and so on. Furthermore, the new items cannot be purchased with credits – presumably, because it is a limited-time event.
Tomorrow after the maintenance work, we will know more. Keep your eyes open and earn the new rewards!

Some fans of No Man’s Sky are in meltdown mode due to the statements of the leakers.
In just over a week, No Man’s Sky will launch in Europe. The release on PS4 is set for August 10, while it is slightly delayed on PC. Not long now, and we can all hold the game in our hands.
For many fans, curiosity was simply too great to resist these leaked infos. Some gamers who had not yet been convinced by No Man’s Sky used this “opportunity” to get a more comprehensive picture of it. However, the picture painted by the leakers does not seem very solid.
Will the hype turn into a major disappointment?
Numerous pieces of information from the leaks have been released, causing concern among fans. Unease is spreading, as No Man’s Sky is reportedly playable in just a few hours, has numerous bugs, and offers little variety. These three aspects are currently hot topics in the forums.
With this information, he shattered the dreams and hopes of some fans that No Man’s Sky would become a “perfect,” gigantic galaxy, where one would find limitless and unclouded fun. However, in the forums, not only expressions of disappointment are being read, but also outrage and anger. Some fans are going completely crazy.
Other users, however, emphasize that this is only the impression of a few leakers. Some information may not be true at all. A list of “evidence” has been created on reddit suggesting that the leakers are not even playing the final version of the game. However, there is a lot of wishful thinking involved.
Moreover, it is likely that No Man’s Sky will receive a Day One patch, as is now common with new games.
Therefore, our advice: Keep a cool head and stay relaxed. In a few days, we can make our own judgments.
With our app, you can find rare Pokémon at Pokémon GO on a live map.
Finding the various Pokémon in Pokémon GO is not that easy, as they are scattered all around. There are certain locations where special Pokémon regularly appear – so-called nests. Until now, various websites offered the possibility to track these locations live. However, after PokéVision and other tracking apps were banned, players are looking for alternatives with a live map. This is now available with the user-based GO Map.
With GO Map, you can see the locations of rare Pokémon
Now that many apps for tracking Pokémon have been banned, one has to look for good alternatives. We at Webedia have introduced an app for this purpose that connects you players and allows the locations of Pokémon to be rated through a voting system. In order for you to find the monsters in Pokémon GO, our app is a great advantage for you. Especially if you have captured rare Pokémon and enter the location, many trainers gain a significant advantage. If a Pokémon cannot be found at that location after several attempts, you can rate the entry poorly and thereby warn other trainers that there is nothing to be found there.
Trainers help trainers – collaboration is key
In order for you to see many Pokémon on the Radar soon, collaboration is especially important. We have freshly released the app and are now waiting for your locations, from which other Pokémon GO players can benefit. Every entry on the map not only motivates us but also other trainers to publish and share the locations of rare Pokémon.
There is also a search function, so that you only see the Pokémon you are currently looking for on the radar. This way, you can specifically search for Pokémon that you are still missing in your Pokédex .
Pokémon GO Map – Download for Android and iOS
To get started with the Pokémon Finder, you just need to go to the Google Play Store or App Store and search for “GO Map” there. Alternatively, we also provide you with links to the app in the respective store here.
In New York, convicted sex offenders will soon no longer be able to play Pokémon GO.
According to US politicians, there is a connection between Pokémon GO and sex offenders. To ensure more safety, convicted sex offenders in the state of New York will not be allowed to play Pokémon GO in the future. The mechanics of the game pose a risk that children may be lured into unsafe areas, as they may want to go to a lure module, for example.
The danger is too great!
Approximately 3,000 sex offenders are currently on probation in the state of New York. New York Senators Jeffrey D. Klein and Diane Savino have noticed that many Pokémon, PokéStops, and gyms are located just “half a block” away from 100 different sex offenders. Based on this information, Andrew Cuomo wrote an open letter to Niantic, Google, and Apple, in which he offers to share the data of the different offenders with the companies. This data is intended to block the offenders so that they no longer have access to Pokémon GO and cannot play or use it as a tool.
Lure modules in Pokémon GO not only attract Pokémon but also other trainers. Using a lure module makes more wild Pokémon appear at a specific PokéStop for 30 minutes, which can be caught.
Already at the beginning of the Pokémon hype, there were robberies of Pokémon trainers in the USA using lure modules. Because these lure modules are highly sought after by players, prospective Pokémon trainers often stubbornly run to the modules instead of checking the surroundings first. In general, one should always assess the situation before approaching a lure module “blindly.” The danger is too great that someone could use this module to lure trainers instead of Pokémon.
“The safety of New York’s children is our top priority. As technology develops, we must ensure that it does not create new ways for predators to ambush their victims. These measures are safeguards for the players of these ‘augmented reality’ games and take away a tool from those who wish to harm children,” writes Andrew Cuomo.
