The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV released patch 3.35 and with it the Palace of the Dead as the first Deep Dungeon. Additionally, it surpassed the 6 million mark in registered accounts.
Square Enix recently announced that the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has reached 6 million registered players. Players of the free trial version are not included. Just in time for this milestone, the latest patch was released.
The Palace of the Dead – enter at level 1 and then play up to level 60
To unlock, we must first complete the quest “Down into the Depths.” We receive it in New Gridania (X:12.0 Y:13.1) from the NPC Nojiro Marujiro. The Palace is entered in the Black Shroud: South Shroud (X:25.2 Y:20.6). You can complete the Deep Dungeon solo or as a group of 4, roles are freely selectable. The same applies to registering as a random group.
The Deep Dungeon lives up to its name, as it features 50 floors to conquer. All characters start at level 1 and acquire experience, equipment, etc. in this area. Additionally, the dungeon is redesigned with every visit, gone are the days of the always same-looking instance. Up to floor 40, the base game A Realm Reborn is sufficient, starting from floor 41, the expansion Heavensward is required. Other features include:
Character Development: You start at level 1 and achieve level 60 during the dungeon. Even those who take advantage of the free trial period can reach level 60, their restriction to 35 does not apply here. Experience is gained by defeating monsters; the experience and recovery bonuses are ineffective. All commands that require completing a job quest will be unlocked immediately upon reaching the corresponding level.
Padjal Equipment: These weapons and armor represent the equipment for the instance. By opening silver treasure chests, they can be enhanced up to +30.
Enchanted Clay Vessels: These contain spells that may be useful during exploration. They are stored in a shared group inventory. Some clay vessels transform you into a monster with different abilities.
Save Data: Every 10 floors, after defeating the respective boss enemy, the progress is saved. This allows you to complete the dungeon later. You just need to enter the inter-floor after this fight. This means you must not log out directly after the boss.
And what rewards can you get for the Palace of the Dead in Final Fantasy XIV?
While exploring, you will encounter more than just monsters. You can find:
Beacons: They are activated by defeating enemies. Once all group members are gathered around an active beacon, they will be teleported to the next floor.
Dead Beacon: This can resurrect all incapacitated group members. Like the beacon, it must be activated by killing monsters.
Traps: Traps are hidden in the dungeon, which you trigger by entering certain areas. Some clay vessels can alert you to this danger in advance.
Floor Effects: Reaching a floor can also trigger certain effects for that floor, such as a status effect or a strengthening of enemies.
Treasure Chests: They are spread across the floors and can also be found during battles against creatures. Golden chests contain clay vessels, silver boxes improve your equipment, and bronze containers contain some items and Gelmorra shards. The latter can be exchanged for special items outside the instance. Some chests, however, are traps and summon an enemy.
Every 10 floors increases the reward. Below level 60, you primarily receive experience and Gil, at 60 you receive some Allagan Stones.
Floor

Those who complete floor 50 and have achieved a +30 enhancement of their Padjal equipment can receive a Padjal weapon, which is usable outside of the palace. You receive it from the NPC E-Una-Kotor in the South Shroud (X:25.0 Y:20.6).
Other components of the patch include two new companions and the 2nd season “The Feast.”

Triggering hype for new champions – That’s something RiotGames does quite well, we just need to think back to the teasers of Taliyah, the rework of Taric or Aurelion Sol. This time it wasn’t videos or stories on Riot’s website that introduced us to the new hero, but a simple sheet of paper.
“The Pride of Noxus” – Kled, new LoL champ?
Travis Gafford, eSports journalist, was in the North American LCS studios to watch the games live and conduct interviews with the players. During his visit to the studios, he noticed that there were poster-like notes everywhere. In a tweet, he shared the photo showing the new hero “Kled” along with a description.
Even in the German LCS studios in Berlin, posters of the new hero were found.
These posters explain as much as they conceal. Some users on Reddit are already speculating that it’s a new jungler for League of Legends, even though no information in that direction has been released yet. We can be excited to see when Riot will provide us with new news about Kled.

A new expansion is coming for Hearthstone . It now has a reveal date.
While many players have been frustrated in recent days by “Unfortunately, we could not start a game for you” issues, Blizzard continues to make big moves and is spinning the expansion wheel.
Yes, Blizzard is so big that they need announcements for their announcements. Recently, the sparrows have been chirping from the rooftops: The next expansion for Hearthstone is overdue. Yesterday, some popular Hearthstone media and players received one of the famous “invitation cards” from an “old friend,” which Blizzard typically uses to invite people to announcement events.

But you can also join the Twitch stream without an invitation. There won’t be any cheese toast or champagne with orange juice, but maybe Ben Brode, his booming laughter, and a lot of new cards.
The live stream will take place on Friday, July 29 at 08:00 AM our time on the Blizzard Twitch channel for Hearthstone.
Karazhan is an early favorite for the next Hearthstone expansion
The invitation often refers to an “adventure,” and some have already identified Karazhan as a possible destination.
Expansions come in 2 forms in Hearthstone. There are new cards simply in a stylish new pack, and other expansions are released as “adventures,” where players have to purchase wings (for real money or in-game gold), defeat bosses, and then receive pre-set cards as rewards.
It looks like this expansion might be an adventure.
More about the possible options and the current speculations about what the theme of the expansion could be can be found here:
The latest patch 7.0.3 for World of Warcraft is here – the era of “Legion” begins. We reveal what changes for the players.
New Talents, New Abilities, New Game Feel
Last night, the era of Warlords of Draenor ended – at least a little bit. The Patch 7.0.3 for World of Warcraft has already implemented all necessary data for the upcoming expansion “WoW: Legion” into the game. Those who log into the game after the server maintenance, which lasts until around 11 AM, will notice several changes, such as numerous new quality-of-life features and a variety of new talents, mechanics, and animations.
Those with a clothing fetish or who simply enjoy collecting will be satisfied with the new wardrobe. From now on, the appearance of armor can be saved without needing to keep the items in the bank. The best part: it works account-wide. Once unlocked, “templates” can be used through transmogrification. Especially veterans with many old sets should now have space in their bags again.
PvP players can start to get comfortable with the new normalization mechanic. In battlegrounds and arenas, the character’s stats are now dependent on the chosen specialization and are only minimally influenced by equipment. This aims to enable a fairer PvP experience.
In the coming weeks, the invasion of the Legion will begin, with various areas of Azeroth being plagued by demons. Shortly thereafter, the starting area for demon hunters will be playable for all pre-orderers. Ultimately, these innovations will culminate in the release of the expansion “Legion” on August 30.
Pokémon GO is a worldwide phenomenon: Everywhere, people are chasing pocket monsters with their smartphones. The hype is palpable every day, right outside the door.
The big companies in the gaming scene are also aware of the current insane success of Pokémon GO. The CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, was asked at the Financial Conference for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2016-2017 how he assesses the success of Nintendo’s Pokémon GO.
Guillemot revealed that everyone at Ubisoft is “very impressed” with what Nintendo has achieved with their new mobile title. Immediately after, he seized the opportunity to tease a game from Ubisoft:
According to the CEO, an augmented reality game is currently in development at Ubisoft. However, he admits that it is not exactly the same type of game as Pokémon GO. In addition, this game will not be released anytime soon.
Lord Saladin has taken his familiar place in the Tower at 7 PM, from where he throws around insignias, shaders, and bounties. If you have achieved certain Iron Banner ranks, you can also access his inventory of weapons and armor pieces. To efficiently rank up, you should diligently complete his bounties.
Next week Tuesday, July 26th, the fun ends at 11 AM. Lord Saladin will pack his things and disappear until the next Iron Banner.
This week you can snag the sniper rifle Weyloran’s March and the pulse rifle Nirwen’s Mercy. You can obtain these cool weapons randomly after Iron Banner matches or by purchasing them from Lord Saladin for 90 Legendary Shards. If you buy them directly, they come with fixed perks.
The perks of Weyloran’s March starting July 19th.
This sniper rifle can be purchased starting from Iron Banner rank 4. It comes with Solar damage and these perks:
Grenadier: Kills with this weapon reduce grenade cooldown.
Hidden Hand: The weapon improves target acquisition.
Additionally, you have the choice between:
Armor-Piercing Rounds: The rounds penetrate the target. However, handling of the weapon is reduced.
Extended Barrel: Increased range, slower reload.
Oiled Frame: Faster reload, reduced range.
If you want to increase the range, the Extended Barrel is recommended.
But especially with Hidden Hand, it becomes a powerful sniper. In this article, we discuss the strength of Weyloran’s March with the perk Hidden Hand. If you don’t have the weapon yet, you can grab it here.
The perks of Nirwen’s Mercy starting July 19th.
With an Iron Banner rank of 5, you can buy the pulse rifle Nirwen’s Mercy. It comes with these perks:
Balance Adjustment: Stability is greatly increased.
With Balance Adjustment and Reinforced Frame, you can turn this pulse rifle into an extremely stable weapon. Feeding Frenzy is also a good perk because: The shorter the reload time, the faster you can deal damage again. This weapon can also be clearly recommended with these perks.
With Dual Universe, an interesting MMORPG is currently in development.
The game features a large galaxy consisting of several planets. Players will be able to travel seamlessly between worlds and space. The sandbox offers a lot of freedom. Players will be able to build entire cities and develop spaceships. The entire economic system in the game is intended to be managed by the players. Space battles, fights on planets, and hero development are also part of it.
Manipulable Planets in Pre-Alpha Gameplay
The developers have now released a new gameplay video lasting approximately 11 minutes showcasing the Pre-Alpha of the game. It shows the journey of a hero. He starts on a planet and wanders through a forest. The landscapes of the planets are procedurally generated, but they look quite good. Further explanations on how to create and populate the planets are planned for a future video. The hero now wanders from the forest to a meadow where a spaceship is standing. Before he boards, he digs a hole in the ground to demonstrate that the landscapes will be manipulable. This will also help in gathering resources.
Finally, it is shown how some structures are created and the landscape is set. This is generally possible everywhere where there is enough space. This way, you can create houses and entire cities. Eventually, the character approaches the spaceship, modifies it, and boards. He takes off and flies through the air into space. There he lands on a huge space station that could already be seen from the ground. He walks around in the station, where the developers explain that the interior can also be fully customized.
A Huge Universe
As he finally looks out the window of the space station at the planet, the developer explains that even from this height, objects that are large enough can be recognized. For example, you can see forests, mountains, rivers, the sea, and a huge Ark-Ship. These ships represent the starting point of the heroes who awake in Ark-Ships and then explore and colonize the galaxy. Lastly, the hero boards his spaceship again and flies off into space while the planet gets smaller.
Dual Universe is expected to enter Closed Alpha in early 2017. There is currently no information available regarding a release.

The new hero “Ana” has been released for Overwatch . Dive into the battle with the sniper!
Ana Amari – the healing Sniper
Quietly, Blizzard has rolled out a new patch for Overwatch in the evening, which has introduced a new hero into the game. The supporter “Ana” is now available for all players on PC for free, and players can start collecting various cosmetic items, such as skins, emotes, and voicelines through loot boxes.
Ana Amari is Pharah’s mother and is no longer the youngest. After a mission where she hesitated too long, she lost an eye in a battle with Widowmaker and also a large part of her team. After that, she put her weapon away for a long time, but now she returns to the side of her daughter and ensures that justice rains down. Or targeted sniper shots.

Her biotic rifle heals injured allies and damages hit enemies. So no matter who you hit in the fray – it always helps.
The sleep dart puts a hit enemy to sleep for a few seconds. They are defenseless for a few seconds, but wake up as soon as they take damage.
The biotic grenade is a true all-rounder. It damages hit enemies and prevents them from being healed for a few seconds. At the same time, allies are healed and benefit more from healing from all sources for a short time.
The ultimate Nanoboost enhances a selected ally for a few seconds. This ally deals significantly increased damage, moves faster, and takes less damage. Particularly in combination with another ultimate, this becomes devastating – Pharah or Reaper always appreciate this.
The pre-patch for World of Warcraft: Legion is here! The update prepares for the arrival of the Burning Legion and also brings various new features and changes to Blizzard’s record MMORPG. But what exactly is changing now with the pre-patch 7.0.3.?
In just a few weeks, the latest add-on for World of Warcraft, Legion , will be released. But as is common with Blizzard, the new patch will not simply be thrown onto the live servers, and it won’t just “Poof” and suddenly the Burning Legion is there. Instead, before the add-on launch, there comes a pre-patch that makes the necessary changes and initiates the invasion of demons into Azeroth. The patch 7.0 is now live!

According to the official patch notes for the Legion pre-patch, there are page-long changes in many areas of the game. Particularly cool are the extensive adjustments to the classes, the standardized values in PvP, and the changes to the transmogrification system. In the following paragraphs, we will explain the most exciting new features to you!
Fashion Show – The new Transmogrification System
This feature is my personal favorite, because now we can select all soulbound items as templates for transmogrification through the “Templates” tab. The best part: these templates are account-wide! Each of your heroes can use them. Additionally, we can assemble and save whole outfits. Even fixed outfits for our specializations are possible! There’s now also an option to hide our shoulder armor!
Class Changes in WoW Legion
Each of the 12 classes in World of Warcraft will receive changes and adjustments. For example, the “Survival” specialization of the Hunter will become a melee specialization. However, the Rogue is hit particularly hard, as its “Combat” specialization has been removed due to a lack of clear focus. Instead, there is a new direction called “Outlaw,” which creates a kind of pirate. So, an agile fighter who fights with pistol and saber. More information and details about the class changes can be found in the preparation article for Legion.
Naked to the Battle – The new PvP Gear System
To make PvP in World of Warcraft fairer again, there is now an effect called “Codex of War,” which removes all bonuses from equipment items. Instead, our stats in PvP are now determined by the average item level and our selected specialization. This is intended to better balance PvP so that newcomers still have a chance. The new honor system will come later, which is why there is currently no way to gain new honor.
Nothing for Homebodies!
Those who have been comfortably hanging out in their garrison and farming gold can now forget that for the time being, as patch 7.0 removes numerous gold income sources from the garrison. Additionally, there are no longer items from salvage, although the salvage obtained previously will still function. However, if you want to make good money, you have to go out again.
It is beautiful!
World of Warcraft has already been beautified with the last add-on Warlords of Draenor. But now everything gets even more magnificent, as the graphics engine of WoW is being revised again in Legion. Now the rendering distance is significantly greater, and there are now three graphics levels beyond “Ultra”! Advanced shading techniques also ensure better shadows and optimized color representation. This makes the over 11-year-old game still look very beautiful.
More about the changes that are coming with the upcoming expansion can be found on our overview page for WoW Legion.
That’s it for the highlights of the pre-patch. Further innovations, such as the new honor system, will be added with subsequent patches. The complete patch notes are also available on the official World of Warcraft page.
For Battleborn, the fun hero MOBA shooter from Gearbox, there are three new PvP maps this week, one for each of the three game modes. Read here what awaits you in the new areas.
Battleborn is struggling with declining player numbers, but that is by no means a reason for the developers at Gearbox not to continue expanding the complex and crazy MOBA shooter. Therefore, three new PvP maps for each of the three game modes of Battleborn are coming this week. The new maps and their features are:
Snowblind (Capture): This map takes place on the desolate ice moon Bliss, an outpost of the Peacekeepers and the site of the epic battle against Arachnis. This time, however, the objective is to establish and supply a base against the opponent. The highlight of the map: a giant statue of Oscar Mike (or one of his clone buddies).
Outskirts (Meltdown): The popular Meltdown mode also gets another map, this time on the dark Jennerit planet Tempest. Our good old man and master, Minrec, has built a recycling plant in the slums of the world, and on this map, the towers of the second line and the central mausoleum are particularly effective.
Monuments (Incursion): This map is located on Ekkunar, the home of the Eldrid faction. In this beautiful map, we fight through the ancient ruins of the old Aztanti civilization to recover their treasures. Players with good jumping or even flying abilities can take a nasty shortcut to the enemy Sentry Bot, so we must always be on our guard!
All these new maps are coming to the game on July 21, 2016 and are free for all owners of Battleborn. What do you think of the new maps? And do you still play Battleborn at all, or is the game already dead and forgotten for you because Overwatch rocks so much more? Let us know and write it in the comments!

Leveling up in Pokémon GO is worth it for the rewards!
Many trainers are now traveling through Germany trying to catch Pokémon. At least they try, unless the servers are offline. When you catch Pokémon, you earn experience points that increase your trainer level. The higher your trainer level, the stronger the Pokémon you catch will be.
Ultra Balls, Revives, and other useful items when leveling up
On the internet, various trainers exchange tips and often discuss their own experiences. Reddit user “Verigood” has now shown what rewards he received upon reaching level 30. Recently, we already showed you a list of rewards for leveling up, which makes it clearer how much time is needed to reach level 30.
The rewards for reaching level 30 in Pokémon GO are:
30 Ultra Balls, 20 Max Potions, 20 Max Revives, 20 Berries, 3x Incense, 3x Lucky Eggs, 3x Egg Incubators, and 3 Lures
Strong Pokémon in the collection
On his way to level 30, Verigood caught a lot of different Pokémon that some of us would certainly envy. Among others, he has a horde of Vaporeons – With a nickname trick you can determine Eevee’s evolution and soon be the owner of a Vaporeon.
To level up from 29 to 30, he needed 350,000 experience points – for the next level it’s already 500,000 experience points! So plan plenty of time and always make good use of the PokéStops in Pokémon GO to have enough Poké Balls for catching the monsters around you.
The Tyranids are participating in the war of Eternal Crusade. They are the opponents in the first dungeon.
It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for oneself
In the 41st millennium, there is only war. Well, and a lot of crawling creatures, at least if you look into the latest version of Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. Because since the latest patch, the Tyranids have arrived, allowing players to smash their chitin armor with plenty of blessed bullets and chainswords.
However, the Tyranids are not a playable race, but PvE opponents in the first “dungeon” of the game. Up to 5 players can face the challenge simultaneously.
But even outside of the Tyranid dungeon, the game has received some improvements with the patch. There are now events for additional experience points, the balancing of many weapons has been revised, and as a cherry on top, there are plenty of bug fixes.
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is currently in Early Access on Steam and largely plays like a lobby shooter. The MMO elements, like the first dungeon, are being added gradually.
For more news about the MMO shooter in the Warhammer universe, you can find it on our Eternal Crusade news page.

In Pokémon GO you usually have to painstakingly crawl through town and country to find the creatures that are rustling in the bushes. But it can be easier, for example by using a lure module at the nearest PokéStop. Read here what you need to consider.
It is undoubtedly part of the charm of Pokémon GO to wander around for hours like a modern hunter and gatherer, finding every hidden Pokémon . But sometimes you would rather enjoy a cool after-work beer at your favorite beer garden or sit comfortably in a café. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have both – relaxation and Pokémon hunting – at the same time?
In past centuries, only high princes could afford such a combination of hunting and luxury, letting the game animals be driven conveniently before their gun while they themselves sipped fine drinks from polished glasses in the middle of the forest and were served fine bites by lackeys.
What does the lure module do in Pokémon GO? Poké Party
Similarly comfortable and easy, modern hunters can also take down their prey, as there are the practical lure modules. With this paid item, you can turn a PokéStop into a real madhouse for 30 minutes, as long as the module is running, all nearby Pokémon will gradually flock to the PokéStop, and you can catch them easily and conveniently while repeatedly using the PokéStop itself to replenish your supplies.
The good thing about PokéStops is that an active lure module applies to all players in the area and everyone benefits from the Pokémon flood. Only one lure module can be active at a time, and you activate it by first buying one for 0.99 euros in the shop and then going to a PokéStop. Click on the stop and then on the small white area under the name of the place. Then you can activate the module. On the map, you can recognize a PokéStop with an active lure module by the colorful confetti that dances around the place.
A bug on the PS4 is causing players to lose their progress in Overwatch . Will they be compensated?
Rollback on PS4 Leaves Overwatch Players Desperate
Bugs and glitches in games are annoying, as they ruin the fun of playing. At least they usually only occur temporarily and disappear in the next match. However, a current error in Overwatch, occurring in the PS4 version of the game, is different.
Since July 11, many players have reported on Reddit and the official forums of the shooter that they have fallen victim to a “rollback” of their accounts. The affected accounts have been reset to an earlier state, which affects players to varying degrees.
Many players have also lost emotes.
In plain terms, this means that many players on the Sony console have lost between 5 and 50 ranks. Consequently, the loot earned from the corresponding loot boxes was also removed. So, anyone who was lucky enough to get that one skin they always wanted is understandably doubly frustrated. This is particularly annoying for players in ranked mode, as they have also been catapulted back in time and must earn their rank again.
Blizzard did announce the day after – on July 12 – that they would address the issue and applied a hotfix that will prevent this error in the future.

However, there is still no sign of the restoration of the lost levels and cosmetic items. It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will even be able to restore this data.

The telecommunications companies, short Telcos, demand a weakening of net neutrality. Otherwise, 5G would not be possible.
More and more games are moving towards mobile. Either through an additional app like in Black Desert or as a standalone game, such as Pokémon GO. Thus, we MMO players are also affected by the demands of these companies.
These include well-known names such as: Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and Nokia. In total, there are 17 that sent the 5G manifesto to Brussels. In summary, it states that the existing regulations on net neutrality are not suitable for a technology called “Network Slicing”.
What is 5G?
The G ultimately stands for a “technology generation”; 3G means UMTS, 4G LTE, and 5G NGMN.
They all mean the same thing: data transmission via mobile communications. And each generation is correspondingly faster than the previous one. 5G is still in development; it’s only expected to be available in 2020. Nevertheless, it is already being presented at trade fairs; for example, Telekom achieved up to 70 Gbit/s connection speed.
As work is still ongoing, they turned to the EU. Some of the demands are still normal and to be expected. For example, the need for a uniform regulation of emission limits for electromagnetic signals. However, it is also mentioned that with the existing regulations on net neutrality, 5G would be financially too risky.
What is net neutrality?
Net neutrality ultimately means that service providers may not favor or disadvantage any service. A company like Netflix cannot try to get particularly “fast channels” by paying money to the providers. This way, “smaller companies or startups” still have a chance to compete with the big giants.

The regulatory authority BEREC has proposed a draft that aims to guarantee net neutrality and does not please the Telcos very much. Because according to this proposal, it is prohibited for providers to block customers’ access to parts of the internet.
Let’s take Entertain from Telekom as an example. This is a video streaming service. During throttling periods, Telekom did not count the volume of Entertain. There was no need to worry that using this service would reduce internet speed. Unlike offers from competitors: Amazon Video, Netflix, Maxdome, etc.
According to the BEREC draft, this would be prohibited. If an internet provider offers its own service, comparable offers from competitors may not be excluded or otherwise diminished in quality. Such a rule is, according to the telecommunications companies, too restrictive for 5G.

New cars and motorcycles are available in the new GTA 5 Online update.
The Cunning Stunts update in GTA 5 Online is a huge success and popular among players. With new stunt objects, maps, terrain, cars, and motorcycles, there’s a lot of fun to be had in the new races, showing who is ahead in tight loops. This update is now in its second round and brings players even more toys!
GTA V Online: 6 new races – 3 new vehicles!
In the 6 additional races, you can demonstrate your skills on motorcycles, muscle cars, (super)sport cars, and off-road vehicles again. There are again loops and tubes that some players often see as death traps, but also acceleration strips that have catapulted many players far from the actual track.
The new vehicles are also meant to bring a little more “momentum” to the races. So far, the selection apparently isn’t big enough yet, which is why the developers unleashed their creativity once again. Whether these vehicles really drive so well and in which races their advantages can be utilized is best discovered in the various stunt races against other players.
You can easily access the stunt games directly from the start screen of GTA 5. If you are already in an online session, you can start the games as usual from the race menu.
Grab the silver jumpsuit immediately and for free, which appears in combination with a suitable helmet in the special items category of your wardrobe. Additionally, there is 20% discount on garages and buildings (with garages), so you can park the new vehicles somewhere. Last week there were discounts on various performance upgrades for vehicles – This week is all about APPEARANCE when tuning!
20% discount on:
Spoilers, rims, tire smoke, side skirts, exhausts, and horns – With these, you make your cars eye-catching!

Pokémon GO offers you various tools to obtain Pokémon more easily. One of them is incense, as the smoke cloud attracts wild Pokémon to your location, making it easier for you to catch them. But how does the premium item work, and what does it do exactly? Read about it here in our incense guide!
“If the prophet does not come to the mountain, then the mountain must come to the prophet,” goes an old saying, and similarly, it works in Pokémon GO when you use a special item that directly attracts Pokémon to you. We are talking about incense, a real-money item from the shop that can be purchased for about 0.80 euros. Occasionally, you can also receive incense modules as a reward for level-ups, but if you need a lot of them, there is no way around spending real money. But what does the incense do?
Incense is a kind of mini-lure module in Pokémon GO, as it attracts all wild Pokémon from the surroundings for 30 minutes and brings them to the player. However, the attracted creatures count only for ourselves. It is not a freely available lure module that we can ignite anywhere for the big Poké party. Incense is only for personal use and is most worthwhile when you have many Pokémon spawn points around you, allowing you to grab a new Pokémon approximately every five minutes. Ideal, therefore, to catch a few creatures stress-free during lunch breaks or at home on the couch.
What have been your experiences with incense so far? Were you able to use the incense clouds effectively, or was it not worth the money because hardly anything was attracted? Let us know and share your thoughts in the comments!
At The Division, we present the gear set B.L.I.N.D.
Among the four new gear sets of the Underground expansion, in addition to DeadEye, FireCrest and Rückholer, there is also the B.L.I.N.D. set. These four sets are available to PS4 agents from August 2nd – PC and Xbox users have had access since the launch of update 1.3 at the end of June.
B.L.I.N.D. already caused a stir at E3 2016, as gameplay footage showed a weapon tailored for this set: The B.L.I.N.D. System Assault Rifle. This weapon is now integrated into The Division, but it will only be unlocked in a future update. In other words: In the future, gear set-specific weapons will be introduced.
However, exact details about this are still unknown. Let’s see what the B.L.I.N.D. set has to offer in The Division.

This is what makes the B.L.I.N.D. set in The Division special
According to the patch notes, this is a hybrid gear set that allows control of the battlefield. It consists of several components, whose locations include the “Dark Zone” supply drops, Dragon’s Lair, and the Underground. You can also find them in Underground caches. Some pieces can be purchased directly from the Underground vendor. However, you should find sufficient parts in the Underground missions.
B.L.I.N.D. consists of a total of six components. If you collect and equip several of them, certain bonuses will activate. At four parts, you unlock the unique talent:
2 pieces: +20% Critical Hit Damage from the Impulse Generator.
3 pieces: +100% resistance against the “Blind and Deaf” effect.
4 pieces: When you kill an enemy, a blind effect is triggered at that location, blinding all enemies in the vicinity.
The talent is only triggered when you shoot the last, fatal bullet at the enemy. They then essentially drop a flash grenade that explodes after a time delay. If they die from a teammate, the talent does not activate, no matter how much damage you inflicted on them.
In order to resist the dropped flash grenade, the 3-piece bonus is designed. This bonus is meant to harmonize with the talent. The 2-piece bonus is a welcome advantage, but it could be higher.
However, these advantages don’t really impress anyone. The design idea is interesting, but sets like “Ruf der Wache” simply perform better in practice. Against high-level enemies, one prefers bonuses that increase damage rather than temporarily blind opponents. Moreover, you can’t even rely on the talent, as you have to deal the final shot to the enemy yourself. When in a task force, the effect occurs less often than you would wish.
Overall, the B.L.I.N.D. set is not a new overpowered set either. While it brings variety to the game, it cannot be recommended for major challenges.
With the exception of Rückholer, the new sets of the Underground expansion are not well received by the agents. Many users on reddit are therefore calling for Massive to first adjust and balance the existing sets before they release new ones.
A possible way to do this would be the special gear set weapons, which would better highlight the strengths of the sets. How Massive designs these will be seen in the future.
What do you think of the B.L.I.N.D. set?

The MMORPG Black Desert is getting a feature from the Korean version with the Night Merchant. The patch arrives on Wednesday – here’s what’s behind the Night Merchant in Black Desert.
As Black Desert announces, the Night Merchant will start its services tomorrow with the update on Wednesday, July 20th. This is a feature that has already been running in the Korean original version and that many fans would have wished for the EU/NA version.
The Night Merchant can be found in 4 locations: Velia, Heidel, Calpheon, and Altinova. Only at night, only in hidden corners. This makes it similar to merchants from other games like Xur from Destiny, Baro Ki’Teer from Warframe, or Adhazabi Aba-daro from ESO.
To take a look at his goods, 50 energy points are required. Then the merchant will give you a view of only one item at a time. Sometimes this is a powerful and rare item, sometimes it’s just regular stuff.
These items are offered by the Night Merchant of Black Desert
Here are possible items that he has on offer:
Armor of the Stump Tree Spirits
Kzarka Longsword
Kzarka Longbow
Kzarka Amulet
