In The Division, we present six tips on how to easily master the toughest PvE activities in Heroic mode.
Currently, The Division can be quite challenging but also demotivating. Because some enemies can take you down with just one shot despite high toughness values and require three or four full magazines to go down.
However, YouTuber Skill Up states: No, the game is not difficult; it is just anything but balanced. With the right attributes, skills, weapons, and gear sets, The Division becomes “very, very easy.” However, if you do not have these, the MMO shooter is pure torture in the most brutal PvE activities.
Therefore, Skill Up presents six tips that may surprise some, but are “excellent” in practice. They help you stay alive and successfully complete the PvE content. Whether you have the most fun this way is another matter.
These tips are intended solely for use in a group. Missions in Heroic mode are not really recommended for lone wolves.

A tactic that many agents like to use is: Attack with as much firepower as possible. They increase the firearms attribute to deal more damage and raise the DPS values. However, this attribute is not important in PvE at all.
Because you receive increased damage from numerous other sources, such as critical hit damage, critical hit chance, headshot damage, damage against elites, armor damage, weapon talents, gear set bonuses (keyword: Vigilance or Striker), skills like Booster or Reinforcement. Given these many possibilities, the firearms value is comparatively insignificant. Therefore, focus on the other attributes.
Tip 2: Toughness around 400k is More Than Enough
In PvE, no toughness values beyond 700k are necessary, as shotgun enemies can still take you down with two shots. Skill Up recommends values around 400k. With that, you can withstand the enemies sufficiently to stagger them with shotguns, for example, and then finish them off. High toughness values are important, but you don’t have to overdo it.
Tip 3: Electronics is “King”
If you moderately improve the other attributes, you have the opportunity to focus more on electronics. Skill Power around 45k is recommended. Because: While you can only increase your own damage with firearms, you can support the whole team much more with high skill power.
Skill Up mentions the following numbers: If you increase firearms by 1500, you gain about 20% more DPS. If you apply this advantage to the entire team, in theory, everyone benefits by 5%. However, if you increase skill power and use Reinforcement, each agent receives 50% more damage output. You also gain the additional benefits of Reinforcement, such as increased resistance. The entire squad benefits significantly more from high skill power.
Important skills for this build are Reinforcement and Booster or Medical Station.
Tip 4: Support Your (Matchmaking) Team
Skill Up reveals that he currently spends more time in randomly assembled teams than in friends’ teams. But this is precisely an advantage of this build: This allows you to improve the entire team, whether it came to you via matchmaking or consists of friends. And you are less dependent on the randoms: Because you bring everything to the table to advance the team and lead them to victory.
Tip 5: Stagger Enemies in PvE
With shotguns, you can inflict the “stagger” effect on enemies. This causes them to stagger, temporarily incapacitating them. Therefore, choose strong shotguns like the SASG-12 in PvE. Additionally, explosive rounds are useful for stopping incoming enemies. One shotgun enemy can be enough to wipe out the entire team. So stagger him!
For the gear set, the Restorer Set is recommended, which supplies the entire team with special ammo and consumables.
Tip 6: DPS Means Nothing
The final tip summarizes the previous ones: Do not focus on high DPS values but on staying alive. Improve your whole team with your skill power and powerful skills. Because these enhance the “bare numbers” more than anything else.
To assemble the necessary gear for these tips requires no immense effort. By completing activities and diligently recalibrating the found gear, you can quickly reach the recommended skill power and toughness values.
Note: Skill Up recommends trying out these tips if you are having trouble with the difficulty of the shooter. However, there are also other tactics possible to play successfully. He doesn’t want to dictate how to “best” play The Division.
What do you think of these tips?

In Destiny, we take a look at a comparison video that demonstrates the transformation of the Cosmodrome with “The Taken King”.
Just a few days ago, Bungie held a livestream for the “Cosmodrome Winter Tour”, where they guided us through the revamped Alt-Russia area, as it will look after the fall expansion.
With “The Taken King”, winter returns: Snow blankets the Cosmodrome and occasionally it even starts to snow. But it’s not just the snow that reshapes the landscape: The Devil Splicers are spreading in the area, cutting and melting metal and giving the Cosmodrome their “individual touch”.
And then there’s the SIVA spread. This organic-mechanical technology manifests in the form of red “roots” and black, pyramid-shaped objects that plague the Cosmodrome, just like the Plaguelands.
The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming has gone straight to the Cosmodrome and compared the shown images of the “new” Cosmodrome with those of the “old” Cosmodrome. Here is the comparison video:

The changes in the Cosmodrome are not just cosmetic; that some metal has been clipped here or a snow mound rises there. Since the Devil Splicers were hard at work, new areas have now been uncovered and melted away, into which you currently cannot advance. Thus, the revisions are also game-changing interventions.
A significant new feature that will be available in the Cosmodrome starting this fall are the new enemies. While currently the Fallen roam or sometimes the Hive break in, now the Devil Splicers are also lurking around, wanting to make our lives difficult with their fresh technology.
What do you think of the “new” Cosmodrome? After all, the new will replace the old Cosmodrome, and not just for a few days, but at least until the “next big thing”. Perhaps someday we will be able to say: “I was there when the Cosmodrome was not yet covered in snow.”
In TERA , there will soon be a server merger. Additionally, they are jumping on the “Pokemon Go” bandwagon.
One PvE server per language in Tera
Finding a group for instances in TERA can sometimes be quite challenging. This has been recognized by the developers at Gameforge, who distribute TERA in Europe. For this reason, server mergers are planned for this summer. The current plans indicate that all servers of one language will be merged. An exception is made for the two PvP servers, which will be combined into an international PvP server. After the merger, the server pool will look like this:
1 international PvP server (Killian and Icaruna)
1 English PvE server (Fraya, Veritas, Arcadia and Zenobia)
1 German PvE server (Kaidun and Hasmina)
1 French PvE server (Akasha and Elinu)
Surveys about the new names of the merged servers will be held in the official forum in the coming weeks. A specific date has not yet been given, except for “end of summer” – so it should all be settled by September at the latest.
The server merger concerns our “European Tera”, which is managed by Gameforge.
Tera Mongo calls for monster hunting
Meanwhile, players on the TERA servers of En Masse in North America are currently enjoying a special event that capitalizes on the “Pokemon Go” hype. Under the name “Tera Mongo”, players can find and catch special monsters in the game world from July 21 to July 31 (by defeating them). This rewards players with special rewards, such as exclusive mounts.
Hunting a specific type of monsters ensures that better and better “Mongo” of this kind appear, carrying even better loot. According to the announcement, the best part of the event is that you don’t have to move a step but can simply do it all on the PC – what a progress.
For more news and articles about the MMORPG, you can find them on our TERA game page.

There are over 700 different monsters in the fantastic world of Pokémon, which has grown more extensive over the years. Only the most loyal fans can name them all. With the current “Pokémon GO” hype, many fans are returning to their former monster friends, while others are just riding the wave of hype and are encountering Pokémon for the first time.
Some newbie trainers wonder about the curious appearance of the cute or unsettling beasts displayed on their smartphone screens. And others think to themselves: “That creature looks familiar!” If you too notice similarities with celebrities – you are not alone!
Omot, why do you have such big eyes?
A few weeks ago, numerous football stars were making waves on the screen – the Euro 2016 in France was in full swing. Now, it’s not football that dominates, but Pokémon GO. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that some football stars resemble pocket monsters quite closely.
Mesut Özil, for example, the German ball artist, is often reduced to his big eyes on social media. No wonder that a Pokémon with big eyes is nicknamed Özil.
Suarez earned the nickname “The Biter” during the 2014 World Cup throughout the football world. A Pokémon with similarly striking fangs can be found quickly:
What does Hypno have in common with Ibrahimovic? Hm, the ears are not the issue:
Julian Draxler and Karpador? Well, when looking at it from this perspective:
Tim Wiese has already ended his professional career as a footballer. Instead, he now shows off his muscles:
Ailton, the “Kugelblitz”:
Schwalbini has only existed since Generation 3 and is not included in Pokémon GO, but the analogy to follow is clear: These images should all be understood with a good pinch of humor. Many thanks to the submissions from our community.
At No Man’s Sky, all concerned fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The game does not use a patented “super formula.”
Last week, an article from a Dutch magazine caused a stir: The company Genicap stated that No Man’s Sky uses their patented “super formula,” which is responsible for the procedurally generated galaxy. The officials mentioned that they do not want to hinder the release, but discussions are necessary. However, a quoted lawyer believed: “If the patent has truly been violated, the distribution of No Man’s Sky should be halted and compensation paid.”
Now, Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, has responded via Twitter and given the all-clear. No Man’s Sky does not use the so-called “super formula” and does not violate any patent. This is a “non-story.” We can all relax.
Nothing seems to stand in the way of the launch on August 10th in Europe.
In further tweets, Murray mentions numerous languages that No Man’s Sky supports – including German.
Auriel will have some powerful tricks up her sleeve in Heroes of the Storm that will turn the Nexus upside down.
The Archangel of Hope of the Angiris Council
The newest hero Gul’dan has slowly but surely settled into Heroes of the Storm and players have gotten used to his abilities. It will soon be time for Blizzard to focus on the next heroine making her way into the Nexus. This will be Auriel from Diablo, who will take on the role of a support character. Although not all details about the heavenly lady are known yet, Blizzard has already released that Auriel can resurrect allies during battle, thus bringing a completely new dynamic.

More information about her is expected to be released this week during Chinajoy, a Chinese gaming expo. We will keep you updated as soon as new details are known.
In Pokémon GO new features are coming. This is meant to bring the future.
At the Comic Con in San Diego, there was new information about the development of Pokémon GO over the weekend.
They plan to release a feature that just barely missed the release version and is now being added.
The leaders of the 3 teams are to find their way into the game so that Pokémon trainers can interact with them. They are Candela for Team Valor (red), Blanche for Team Mystic (blue), and Spark for Team Instinct (yellow). In German, the teams are called Wagemut, Weisheit, and Intuition.
Server stability is currently the highest priority in Pokémon GO
Niantic has many more plans for the development of Pokémon GO. They want to have material for several years. It will take that long to implement and realize all the ideas, plans, and features.
Currently, however, the highest priority is on server stability and fixing bugs. Additionally, they want to counter annoying (undesired) player behavior, such as players attacking just freshly conquered gyms.
In the long term, Niantic wants to bring new Pokémon to the game and a trading feature. PokéStops should be customizable by players, and they are also considering Poké Centers. Player wishes like Pokémon breeding are deemed possible, but they do not want to announce anything yet. According to Niantic, the team has only been able to implement 10% of its ideas in the game so far.
The PS4 version of ARK: Survival of the Fittest is still pending. Find out here the reason given by the developers.
PS4 release of SotF postponed in favor of Survival Evolved
Originally, the arena standalone variant of ARK, called “ARK: Survival of the Fittest”, was supposed to come to PS4 in July. In this free version of the game, players can primarily enjoy the PvP aspects and compete with each other for control of the island. However, Studio Wildcard has now announced that the release will no longer take place on PlayStation 4 this month. According to the developers, the reason for this is that they want to focus on the release of the main game first. Development for the Sony console is therefore “in full swing” and can be “released sooner than expected”.
Mein-MMO says: Since there has not been a fixed date for the release of ARK: Survival Evolved on PlayStation 4 yet, it is, of course, easy to claim that the work is now progressing faster. On the other hand, the folks at Studio Wildcard have done a great job with ARK so far. However, there are still no specific dates for the PS4 release.
One should handle Stardust carefully in Pokémon GO.
Perhaps you have already experienced the situation where you wanted to pump your favorite Pokémon full of tons of Stardust to make your companion even stronger. However, you should exercise caution and patience, as Stardust is valuable.
Farming Stardust in Pokémon GO
Farming Stardust is not that easy, as you currently only receive it by catching wild Pokémon, claiming Arena rewards, and hatching eggs. So if you catch a lot of wild Pokémon, you can slowly but surely accumulate a certain stock of Stardust, which you should only spend wisely.
In our tips on how to quickly and effectively increase your trainer level, we already outlined the advantages of catching frequently occurring Pokémon. If you do this regularly, you will receive even more Stardust on top.
Improving the right Pokémon with Stardust
When you give a Pokémon Stardust, you increase, among other things, its CP value. The higher this value is, the stronger your Pokémon becomes. However, it is most worthwhile to supply a Pokémon that already has a high CP value with Stardust, so that this value gets even higher. Providing a Pidgey with 144 CP with Stardust is not particularly good, as you will find wild Pidgeys with a base CP higher than 144 with a higher trainer level.
If you catch a Pokémon at a higher trainer level whose base CP is already significantly higher than what you usually see in wild Pokémon, then upgrading with Stardust is worthwhile. If the Pokémon also has strong attacks, your chances of success in gym battles are further increased. Here you can see which are the best attacks of Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
In summary: Upgrades with Stardust only make sense and are effective when you have reached a high trainer level (Lvl 10 or higher). Because at higher trainer levels, you automatically find Pokémon with high CP. At the later levels, you need more experience points for a level-up, which makes the CP values of wild Pokémon more consistent.
The prepatch of Legion has positioned new vendors in World of Warcraft. We will tell you where to get new toys for your class and missing glyphs.
More Druid Forms and “Confession” for the Priest
With the Prepatch 7.0.3 for World of Warcraft many new systems were introduced, but some were also removed. Most glyphs are now a thing of the past. Only the former “small” glyphs are still available for cosmetic purposes and can be directly used on the spellbook. A handful of glyphs seem to have been removed from the game. These effects can now be found in the form of spellbooks and new toys all over Azeroth. Wowhead has created a list that shows all these new items. We certainly do not want to withhold this list from you.
Death Knights need to head to Archerus. Commander Thalanor now sells “Necrotic Tome: Corpse Explosion,” which teaches you the spell of the same name.
Druids make a detour to the Moon Glade and seek out the vendor Lorelae Winterbloom. She has 5 tomes for Druids in tow. One each for “Treant Form”, “Deer Form”, “Track Beasts”, “Friend of the Forest” and the exclusive Moonkin ability “Flapping”. Additionally, there is the toy Nature’s Beacon, which allows you to teleport to a random location in the nature of the game world every minute.
Here are the gadgets at new vendors for Hunters, Mages, Monks, and Paladins
Hunters set off for Northrend and travel to the Sholazar Basin. At the camp of Hemet Nesingwary, the Tauren Mardan Thunderhoof sells several tomes. You can use them to teach your companion to play dead, loot corpses from monsters, and grant yourself the aspect of the chameleon. The toy “Hunter’s Call” lets you briefly summon an animal that accompanies the hunter for a short time. A detour to Dalaran is worthwhile, as the engineer shop offers the hunter ability to create fireworks.
Mages also head to Dalaran to seek out the vendor Endora Goldleaf. She teaches you through books how to understand the languages of all other allies and grants access to the spell “Illusion”. Additionally, she has two toys for Mages that adjust the visual effect of Arcane Intellect or summon a small companion using the “Familiar Stone”. New are 3 variants for the “Polymorph” spell. “Bear Cub” can be collected in Northrend from Arctic Grizzlies, “Porcupine” from the same-name creatures in Pandaria, and “Monkey” from various monkeys and Hozen, including those in Pandaria.
Monks travel as usual to the Peak of Serenity and grab the “Meditation Manual: Zen Flight” from Master Hwang.
For Paladins, the journey takes them to the Eastern Plaguelands to the Chapel of Hopeful Light. The Quartermaster Miranda Brighthope sells the ability “Meditate”, which allows Paladins to pray for a moment. Supposedly it helps.
Is “Confession” just a gimmick or a form of mind control? You decide.
World of Warcraft: Cosmetic Glyphs and Roleplay Toys
Priests also fly to the chapel, as Miranda Brighthope offers the toy “Orb of the Thaumaturge”, which grants either a holy orb or shadow raven effect depending on your specialization. To regain the effect of the glyph “Confession”, Priests must go to Dalaran into the sewers. In the north, you occasionally find the undead vendor Cravitz Lorent, who has the “Scarlet Book of Confession” in stock. However, this vendor is only present for a few minutes every few hours!
Rogues head to the aforementioned Cravitz Lorent to reclaim “Reveal”.
For Shamans, the journey takes them to Nagrand in the shattered world and travel to the Throne of Elements. Elementalist Sharvak has a wide selection of 4 different toys. Among them are totems and elemental stones, as well as the effect of frog rain. At Cravitz Lorent (see Priest), Shamans can acquire the ability to transform enemies into a cockroach.
In Destiny, an amusing video has been released showcasing a masterful performance in the Trials of Osiris.
The YouTubers from “The Destiny Fun Police” uploaded a video a few days ago, described in the comments as the “absolutely undoubtedly best Trials game.” Alongside such superlatives, Bungie is also called out to crown it as the Video of the Week. What is this spectacular video about?
In the video, you see a Titan taking on three opponents in the Trials of Osiris. Such “1 vs. 3” matches, where the individual emerges as the winner, are now plentiful on YouTube. The special thing about this video: The Titan does not have to fire a single shot to achieve this. See for yourself:

Initially, the defender Titan creates the bubble around him and bravely stands inside with the sword in hand. The three opponents are already lurking around him. Since the Titan is at the checkpoint and would win if left standing there, immediate intervention from the enemies is necessary. However, they probably should not have chosen the tactic of going in one by one and always trying the same thing…
To efficiently take down enemies in Ubisoft’s MMO shooter, you shouldn’t just shoot wildly around. Precise shots to the head are the proven way to quickly chip away at the enemy’s health. All weapons in The Division deal increased damage when the bullets become headshots – unless you use the DeadEYE set talent.
An exciting aspect that has hardly been considered so far: Each weapon class has a special headshot multiplier. This means that weapons receive different damage bonuses when you hit the heads. In-game, only the additional bonus from precision rifles is listed – the base headshot multiplier for all weapons can only be discovered through personal experience. This is not displayed transparently.
Always aim for the head
The YouTuber MarcoStyle has now created a list that indicates this headshot damage multiplier per weapon class. These are the base values:
Submachine Gun: +50%
Assault Rifle: +75%
Shotgun: +80%
Light Machine Gun: +100%
Pistol: +100%
Precision Rifle: +120% + additional bonus
The actual headshot damage also depends on further factors, such as weapon talents and additional bonuses. For example, with light submachine guns, the increased damage to targets out of cover is an additional factor.
Considering these “secret” stats, LMGs become an interesting alternative among the fully automatic weapons. They come with good precision and a strong optimal range, allowing for many headshot hits.
At this point, a note that these numbers for the headshot multiplier are not official. However, this YouTuber is among those who have established themselves as trusted Division experts and are in close contact with Massive.
Have you already thought about which weapon classes receive which bonuses on headshot hits?
As a trainer in Pokémon GO, you must know how to help yourself. This way, you can hatch eggs while sitting without walking.
Especially the social factor in Pokémon GO convinces many players to go on Pokémon adventures. You go outside, meet friends, or make new acquaintances and simply have a nice time as a group. This positive aspect can quickly turn negative for some trainers when you “have to” walk for something to happen. This is the case when hatching eggs.
Hatching Eggs While Sitting
In Pokémon GO, you can receive 3 different types of eggs as loot that you must hatch to receive a Pokémon as a reward. The 3 different egg types differ in the kilometers you need to walk before the egg hatches. There are categories of 2 kilometers, 5 kilometers, and 10 kilometers. How hatching works and which Pokémon can hatch from which eggs can be found in our Pokémon GO Egg Hatching Guide.
The creative minds among Pokémon trainers have been searching for days for “THE” solution that makes hatching the eggs possible without having to move a lot. There have already been ideas where one placed the smartphone on a turntable and let it spin in circles or used a toy train to which the phone was attached. An even better method is the combination with a remote-controlled car.
The YouTuber Theibault deals with remote-controlled cars in many of his YouTube videos and has now combined this hobby with Pokémon GO. The good thing about this method is that the phone travels further distances with the toy car than if it were placed on a turntable. The GPS detection in Pokémon GO requires long, preferably straight paths for these routes to contribute to hatching the eggs. Additionally, you should not go faster than about 20 km/h for the hatching to be successful.

Cortyn has extensively played the endgame zone of World of Warcraft: Legion, Suramar. You can find out how the zone feels in this column.
Suramar – The first impression was a mistake
Okay, right from the start I have to confess. I was quite upset about the zone “Suramar” from World of Warcraft: Legion a month ago, because some developers said that this zone would be further built and expanded in the future. To me, it sounded like a typical “We didn’t finish on time”. Consequently, I was also very biased when I entered the area at level 110 in the beta. But I must say, my opinion has turned 180°.
Oh, I should probably mention that there are some spoilers below. I hereby declare this.
A large part of Suramar is the namesake capital of the Nightborne, which you have already seen in the comic “The Nightborne: Twilight of Suramar”. But the journey begins outside the city, where you meet “First Arcanist Thalyssra”. The lady has made an assassination attempt against Grand Magistrix Elisande, managed to escape with her life, and is now trying to save this world and her people from the Legion. Cut off from the Nightwell, however, the hunger for magic gnaws at her, so she needs the players’ help.
The largest city in World of Warcraft
As soon as you step a foot into the city of these elves, you can hardly stop being amazed. Thanks to a magical disguise, you can wander around largely unbothered and only need to watch out for a few enemies with “detector”. Suramar is significantly more extensive than Stormwind or Orgrimmar in terms of sheer size. It is the first area where you can find both “friends” and “enemies” in the same place. Most importantly, the city feels alive. Children of the Nightborne play in the streets, a noblewoman is carried around in a litter, citizens laugh at their fellow elves at the stocks, who are slowly being drained of magic while they themselves fear for their survival. And grotesquely, demons stomp somewhat “peacefully” through the streets because the Nightborne are currently allies of the Legion.
In Suramar, we transform into a Nightborne ourselves to move around the city unseen.
However, questing in Suramar is “different” and in a refreshing way. In order for the Nightaddicted to speak with me, I must provide them with “ancient mana,” which can be obtained almost everywhere. Approximately every 36 hours, these addicts need a new ration or they will be unresponsive. It sounds like annoying “grinding to unlock quests,” but it isn’t. Ancient mana is practically available on every corner, and those who explore a bit will quickly gather large amounts. With that, you can gradually activate a teleport network to travel comfortably through the zone. The best part? It’s embedded in the story. No more portals just for the sake of having portals!
Characters with soul
If Thalyssra doesn’t receive mana, she starts shaking uncontrollably.
At the same time, I can’t remember any quest line – not even from the highly praised Classic – that addresses so many different themes. Politics, intrigue, addiction, assassination attempts, betrayal, the struggle for survival. Even more astonishing: Blizzard creates characters throughout these quests that quickly grow on me. These aren’t nameless NPCs that one wearily smiles at when they hand over a reward. These characters have a soul, and at least the English voice acting, which is almost ubiquitous here, has already ensured that I have fallen in love with more than one Nightborne and Nightaddicted.
Arcanist Valtrois, Thalyssra, Grand Teleman Oculeth. These are just three names that will immediately land on my list of “best Warcraft characters” – and that without having ten years of buildup, as Garrosh did.
I am currently not even done with the area yet, because even after nearly 4 evenings (long, very long evenings) in the zone, I keep discovering new details and quests that keep me entertained.
Everything else from Legion pales
Honestly, I like Suramar so much that the four other areas before it fade in comparison. Don’t get me wrong: Azsuna, Highmountain, Val’Sharah, and Stormheim are well staged, have great quests with exciting twists, and surpass everything we saw in Warlords of Draenor. But Suramar takes it up a notch. For the first time, you really feel like you’re roaming around a city, like it really is “the center of a civilization” and not just 5 lonely houses that someone is trying to sell me as “great city crossroads”.
When we discuss this again in a few years and ask “What did we like about Legion?” I will say “Suramar”. If only every area in World of Warcraft was so brilliant, I would play nothing else.
I don’t know if Legion will be a success. I don’t know if the World of Warcraft expansion can “save” it. But I do know that Suramar has convinced me. More than any other area ever has.
New armor pieces from “The Rise of Iron” have been spotted in Destiny.
Last Wednesday, the developers took us on a discovery tour through the snowy Cosmodrome. Alongside the revamped environment, we got to see new armor pieces and the Gjallarwing Sparrow which were introduced with an impressive trailer.
In this trailer, not only is the Gjallarhorn-inspired Sparrow visible, but also two previously unknown armors for the Titan and the Hunter. Arekkz Gaming presents the brand new Iron gear:

Some new armor pieces that can be seen in the trailer have already circulated in screenshots or concept drawings. In the trailer, you can see a Titan with fresh gear zooming past the Sparrow around 0:27:
This Titan wears gear that is adorned with symbols of the Iron Lords: The shoulder guard is shaped like a wolf’s head, and the class item is also decorated with a wolf’s head. Therefore, it is not too far-fetched to refer to this Titan set as “Iron Armor”.
Arekkz suspects that this is the new Iron Banner armor for the Titan, rather than the “Iron Lord” gear. The latter looks “more exalted”, worthy of an “Iron Lord”, and has as its symbol an axe gripped by two hands. However, this can only be speculation. Here you see an already known Iron Armor of the Warlock:
The second armor piece spotted in the Gjallarwing trailer can be viewed around 0:46. It is Hunter gear with a tree symbol on the shoulders:
The bracelet gadget makes it much easier for you to catch in Pokémon GO!
Pokémon GO captivates many players worldwide who suddenly want to be Pokémon trainers. To ease the adventures that aspiring Pokémon trainers will undertake, there is a small gadget available in the Nintendo Online Store that can be attached to the wrist via a bracelet. With the help of LED signals and vibration alerts, the wearer is informed about various events in the game without needing to look at their smartphone.
Pokémon GO Plus – What the gadget can do
With the push of a button, catching Pokémon without having to operate the smartphone not only delights many smartphone batteries but also some trainers. The anticipation for the assistance device priced at €39.99 was so great that it sold out within moments in the Nintendo Online Store. With dimensions of 46mm x 33mm x 17.5mm and weighing 13g, the gadget does not stand out significantly unless an in-game event occurs. The built-in LED and vibration alerts then notify the wearer.
The most important function of the gadget for most trainers is, that you can catch wild Pokémon by pressing the button without actively using the smartphone. However, this currently only works for Pokémon you have already caught. Zubat will no longer annoy you on your phone’s display by flying around your Poké Balls. By the way, your smartphone is still used passively, as the gadget connects via Bluetooth to your phone to allow features like GPS tracking.
Pokémon GO Plus and Android
So far, the “Pokémon GO Plus” gadget is only compatible with iPhones and iOS and not yet available for Android devices. On Nintendo’s store website, it states that they have been “working since July 2016 to make Pokémon GO Plus compatible with smartphones that use Android operating systems.”
Buy Pokémon GO Plus – When will it be available?
The item is not available on the official Nintendo Online Store website. Buyers who were quick enough to secure a copy are supposedly promised to receive it by 31.08.2016 according to the website. Perhaps the developers want to delay the delivery that long to include additional features or make it compatible with other operating systems.
We are already excited to try out the gadget. Will you buy it?
The already nimble healer can now slide along walls much more easily than before. Instead of losing height after 3 seconds of sliding and then “falling off” the wall, Lúcio can now slide endlessly in one direction on a flat surface without sinking. But it gets even better: The Brazilian musician can easily take sharp 90° angles. This way, Lúcio can essentially ride along a wall indefinitely without ever having to touch the ground again.
The Youtuber Professor Ganymede has demonstrated how this affects the game in his latest video. Be sure to check out what kind of chasms Lúcio can now easily overcome.

In summary, this will make Lúcio significantly more manageable for inexperienced players. Professionals should now be able to get even more out of the supporter, as when you no longer have to worry about riding the wall, you can fully concentrate on shooting (and a bit of healing).

In Heroes of the Storm, a player completely lost control – and with serious consequences.
The raw facts have been known for a while, now the details are known. A player could go to prison for 5 years after threatening to show up at Blizzard’s headquarters – with an AK-47, the Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Because he was “muted” in Heroes of the Storm …
This much had been known for a while, now PcGamesN knows the details. One wonders: For God’s sake, what injustice must have befallen the player that he threatens with such things? The answer: His account in Heroes of the Storm was “muted” after he aggressively insulted and threatened other players. Alongside racist insults, he also announced that he would “bomb the Twin Towers in New York.” In Heroes of the Storm, such behavior is punished by revoking chat rights.
When he could no longer threaten other players, he tried it with Blizzard:
“Watch out Blizzard. I live in California, your headquarters is in California… If you keep silencing me in Heroes of the Storm, I might, maybe not, stop by with an AK-47 and bring along some other fun toys.”
The perpetrator had already attracted attention before
Such things are taken very seriously in the USA, especially given the current climate. The 28-year-old was arrested by the FBI, the U.S. security agency. He is currently being held because authorities believe he has “serious mental problems” due to these and other statements. Already in March last year, he was committed for a mental health evaluation after allegedly telling a sheriff’s department that he had intentions of murdering visitors to a park.
The case is expected to go to court in a few days. The maximum penalty for the crime is 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
