In addition to the “Playstation 4” version of Neverwinter, Cryptic Studios is also working on the new module Storm King’s Thunder.
The developers have now revealed what to expect in this module in a new blog post. This time, you will be dealing with giants. Five of the titanic races (Hill, Stone, Frost, Cloud, Storm) threaten the Sword Coast and pursue dark plans to become the rulers of all giants. The Frost Giant Jarl Storvald is trying to find the Ring of Winter, with which he can turn the world into an icy wasteland. Of course, you must not allow this and travel back to Icewind Dale.
Explore new zones full of adventures
There you will encounter three new adventure zones. The city of Bryn Shander serves as a refuge. From there, you will travel to the Lonely Forest. The surrounding area of the forest settlement at Maer Dualdon may seem peaceful, but you won’t be able to enjoy this peace for long. Additionally, you will head to Kaltbach, where mysterious things are happening on the coast of the Driftice Sea… In each zone, new quests, new repeatable content, new heroic encounters, and new instances for high-level players await you.
A special challenge is the Fangbreaker Island, a new dungeon for 5 players. This is the game’s toughest vault yet, requiring a higher item level than all other waitlists. Those who take on the challenges will be rewarded with the best equipment in the game. However, you will gain access to the dungeon only after making certain progress in the new campaign.
Autumn will be frosty
To protect yourself from the magical cold of the Ring of Winter, you must seek out the Ostorian relics. Additionally, the module brings a lot of balance changes to the MMORPG Neverwinter. The Storm King’s Thunder module is set to be released this autumn – first for the PC version, shortly thereafter for the console versions.

Blizzard is starting to get serious and is showing more and more videos about the upcoming WoW expansion “Legion”. Get a first taste of the “Harbingers” here.
The backstory of Legion in animated videos
To excite World of Warcraft players a bit and prepare them for the next expansion Legion, Blizzard is coming up with several ideas. It started with 2 comics that tell the first parts of the backstory of Legion. Now the next works are starting, as the WoW developers are releasing a series of short films, similar to what was done for Warlords of Draenor. The series will primarily focus on the development of Medivh, Khadgar, Illidan and his Illidari, as well as Gul’dan.
For a first taste of the short films, a trailer has already been released, which we of course don’t want to withhold from you. Currently, it is only available in English, but should give everyone an impression of what is yet to come in the next weeks.

Even though the trailer reveals few details so far, it seems to center around the seductive power of the Fel and the Burning Legion, which even the most powerful can hardly resist. And the little sequence at the end, with a burning Dalaran, does not bode well for the future of Azeroth.
There is no fixed date for the release of the short films yet, but if Blizzard follows the release of the last addon, we should probably see one of these videos weekly in just a few days.
For more news and articles about Blizzard’s MMORPG, you can find them on our World of Warcraft game page. All information regarding the next expansion can be found organized on our Legion overview page.

What environments can you find the different Pokémon types? Here is a summary list.
Pokémon GO excites aspiring Pokémon trainers all over the world. It is now officially available for Android and iOS users in Germany. To help you get an overview of where you can catch your first Caterpie or Machop, we have prepared a summary list for you.
Where can I find which Pokémon?
If you are looking for specific Pokémon, you can check this list to find out where you should search best. Keep in mind that some Pokémon can also spawn “randomly,” so you might find a Water Pokémon on land as well. This list shows the locations where certain Pokémon types primarily reside.
In addition, you should also check our Pokédex: All Pokémon in Pokémon GO!. This way, you can see which Pokémon are meant.
This list is obviously far from complete – This is particularly due to the fact that Pokémon GO has not been available for long and we still need to gather more information. Where did you discover your Pokémon? It’s best to mention typical places where you have frequently found certain Pokémon types. We will regularly check the comments and update the list – Thank you for your help!

Among other fixes, a bug with the AlphaBridge gloves in The Division was supposed to be resolved. This bug caused the attributes on these gear pieces to roll incorrectly. Some even had no attributes at all.
The patch addressed the problem: attributes on pre-existing gloves should also be rerolled. However, issues still persist.
AlphaBridge gloves are still bugged
Currently, agents on reddit are overwhelmed with reports that their AlphaBridge gloves are completely bugged. Some have no attributes at all, while others have attributes with duplicate values:
Other agents also report that the reroll has completely ruined their build, as the gloves now have entirely different attributes than before. Generally, many players seem very dissatisfied with the “fix” applied to the gloves.
Due to the many issues, some users are already predicting a new reroll for the AlphaBridge gloves.
At this point, it should also be noted that for some agents, everything appears to be fine. What are your experiences after today’s patch?
This week, we have found 3 Overwatch gems for you. A flying Reinhardt, the coolest dunk of all time, and McCree in a frenzy.
Reinhardt gives McCree a boost
Once again this week, we scoured the various forums and Reddit to find 3 of the most entertaining moments from Overwatch. And what can we say? We hit the jackpot again.
The absolute gem of the week goes to a McCree. Well, strictly speaking, it goes to a duo of McCree and Reinhardt on the Route 66 map. In the last seconds of the game, things look bleak for the defending team as the payload is nearly at the goal. McCree wants to turn the tide with his “High Noon,” but the opposing team is hiding out of sight. Reinhardt seizes the moment and charges forward: The charge sends three enemies flying, landing in McCree’s line of fire. Boom, triple kill.

Our second place goes to the “Flycatcher” Reinhardt, who isn’t discouraged by the fact that he is primarily a melee hero. Just as he is about to charge, Junkrat’s mine explodes under his feet and sends him into the air – exactly at the height of the enemy Pharah, whom he quickly squashes against the next wall. Sometimes, luck just plays a part.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is an exclusive emblem for Xbox Guardians to grab – when you play with or against Bungie.
Since the reveal of “The Rise of Iron”, the upcoming autumn expansion for Destiny, Bungie’s Twitch channel has been inactive. Hardly anyone ventures there, and if they do, they leave straight away – there hasn’t been anything to see for weeks.
Bungie wants to change this now. Tomorrow, on July 13th, the channel will be dusted off, and a “Bungie Bounty” will take place, where the developers want to play live with and against the community. The game will be played on Xbox One in the “Conflict” mode, a “6 against 6” mode.
The event starts on July 13th at 10 PM our time and will last about two hours.
Those who play with and against Bungie will receive an emblem
Bungie is represented by the community manager Cozmo, who is supported by the two streamers “Lucky and BW”. If you’re wondering who will fill the remaining three spots of this fireteam: they will be random Guardians from the community.
Because the three chosen ones will regularly start matchmaking to pair any active players out there as members and as opponents. For the lucky participants, there’s a reward after each match: an exclusive emblem: Bungie also issues a “fair warning” that Cozmo and the other two are used to playing together. They have already enjoyed many long walks to the lighthouse together.
If you want to watch this spectacle, you can do so here with us. We will embed the Twitch stream below.

Now the shooter series Battlefield is also to serve as a template – not for a feature film, but for a TV series.
Battlefield comes to television
The rights to a Battlefield TV series have been secured by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content, with the project already in development. However, specific details are still not known. The president of Paramount TV, Amy Powell, is quoted as saying:
Paramount TV is actively looking for clever content from all areas that resonate with the audience and enable interesting programming. EA’s Battlefield has an incredibly dynamic story, along with a loyal fan base, which allows us to bring this exciting and unique series to the small screen.
Michael Sugar from Anonymous Content also emphasizes the strong storytelling of Battlefield, which has contributed to the game’s success for nearly 15 years. Therefore, they want to develop the TV series with great commitment together with EA.
That it’s quite gloomy in the survival MMORPG The Black Death is shown in a new trailer.
The Black Death transports you to the dark Middle Ages during the time of the plague. The graphics alone, which miss vibrant and rich colors, illustrate how bleak this time was and how equally desolate the game is.
The world is cruel
A new trailer for the game has now been released. In it, you can see bandits lurking and murdering others. You see hangings, corpses, houses where the plague has broken out, and beggars who are on the brink of starvation. The world of The Black Death is dirty and cruel. Those who do not fall victim to the plague may end up in the hands of bandits or be torn apart by wild animals in the wilderness. Theft, murder, poaching… the desperate inhabitants of the world try everything to stay alive.
Therefore, survival elements also play an important role. You must not get infected with the plague and should therefore avoid places where the disease is still raging. Furthermore, you need to consume food – which must also not be spoiled.
Join in!
The Black Death is currently in Early Access and can be purchased and played for around 20 euros via Steam. Since it is not yet a finished version, balancing issues, crashes, and bugs are to be expected. However, the developers are working hard to improve the MMORPG in cooperation with the testers and continuously integrate new features.
If you want to get away from colorful fantasy worlds and experience a dark, more realistic MMO world, then check out The Black Death.

Pokémon GO is now officially available for Android and iOS users in Germany!
Of course, there are also important items in Pokémon GO, such as Poké Balls or incense, which are essential for catching Pokémon. We will show you 2 ways to get PokéCoins to buy these items.
Particularly important points in Pokémon GO are the gyms of the different areas. If you are an active gym leader there, other trainers will try to defeat your team to become gym leaders themselves. Therefore, you should choose a particularly strong Pokémon to defend your gym – because it is well worth it.
A gym leader who has chosen Squirtle for defense
For every day you lead a gym, you receive 10 PokéCoins and 500 Stardust. The more gyms you own, the more gold coins you can earn. With 10 gyms, you can earn 100 PokéCoins and 5000 Stardust per day as a reward for yourself. You can collect these rewards in the shop by tapping the shield icon in the upper right corner. You can find out what you can buy with PokéCoins in our Pokémon GO Trainer Guide!
In The Division, the Heroic mode of the new raid Dragon’s Lair is available today on Xbox One and PC.
Currently, maintenance is being conducted on Ubisoft’s servers worldwide. During this time, the online services of all Ubisoft games are restricted. This includes The Division. Massive has already completed its work, but agents must still wait until Ubisoft is finished. All servers should be back online by around 2 PM.
Once you can log back into The Division, the new difficulty level “Heroic” in Dragon’s Lair will be available. Players can dive into the most challenging PvE challenge today.
This will eliminate the currently biggest bug: The map bug. Players could not open the map and thus could not fast travel. Once the servers are back up, everything should work normally again.
Additionally, the G36 will be weakened in base damage by 15%. According to Massive, they would have needed to nerf the weapon even more to achieve better balance. However, they do not want to ruin this strong weapon for the agents. It is still powerful, and it should still be fun to play with.
Further information:
Currently, it takes a long time to take down the enemies at level 35 – too long. They want to fix this in the future. However, an overpowered G36 is not a suitable solution. They are looking for other ways. However, this is a complex balancing issue that cannot be resolved overnight.
They are examining the toughness in PvP. It is not the point if agents can shoot at each other for minutes and neither falls.
For solo players, they want to improve the game quality. The difficulty difference between the hard and challenge modes is too large. They are also searching for solutions here.
Additionally, the community developers briefly addressed the question of whether new skills will be introduced in the future, such as drones. Here, Hamish Bode responded that he would find that really cool. There are always options to introduce as the game grows and evolves.

Everyone knows them, some hate them: Addons. No, not WoW Legion, the little ones: Recount, Master Plan, Handynotes. Small downloadable helpers in the daily life of a WoW player. Which of these already work on the test realm?
It should be mentioned beforehand that you cannot simply test it by copying your addons from one folder to another. There have been numerous API changes, so a new version is absolutely necessary.
Am I allowed to use addons?
For the live servers, the question does not arise. There would be none if Blizzard did not allow them. However, you might have such thoughts on the test server. After all, you are supposed to find bugs. If you have previously installed faulty programs, you cannot clearly attribute a potential crash anymore. Thus, the assumption that addons are not tolerated on the test realm is justified.
Especially at the beginning of the alpha phase, Blizzard also followed this path. However, more and more features are now being released, so the little helpers are now usable. Some functions may still be locked.
Which addons work? (As of: 03.06.2016)
An overview of all addons would exceed the scope. Therefore, the listing is limited to some important ones. If possible, you should take a direct alpha or developer version, such as with DBM.
These addons work:
BigWigs
Classic Quest Log
Deadly Boss Mods
Omen
Recount
Shadowed Unit Frames
SharedMedia
Weak Auras 2
Skada
WoW Instant Messenger
These addons might cause problems:
Bartender
ElvUI
Master Plan
Tidy Plates
Quartz
Where do I find the addons?
Unlike those for live servers, they are somewhat hidden. They are usually only available as an alpha or developer version for download. You should look for menu items for additional or optional content. Possible sources for addons are:
Especially WowAce is recommended. This site is primarily intended for developers, so you will find significantly more alpha versions there than through Curse.
In Destiny, the weekly reset occurs on July 12th for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. We present the challenges of this week.

On Tuesdays, the Trials of Osiris also regularly end. PvP fans must wait until Friday for the return of the weekly Crucible event.
Below we present the tasks of this week. Update 11:16 AM: Now also officially. There are issues with the reset. We are staying on top of it.

Developer Niantic talks about upcoming changes in Pokémon GO!
While Pokémon GO is still a relatively young game, the developers already give us a glimpse of what to expect in the game soon. In Germany, Pokémon GO is officially not available yet, but can only be obtained on Android with an APK trick and on iOS by changing the Apple ID. Soon, one of the core features from the Pokémon games will be integrated into the current mobile part of the series.
Update:Pokémon GO is now officially available for Android and for iOS users in Germany!
One essential feature that characterized the early Pokémon games is still missing in Pokémon GO – The trading of Pokémon! In the past, you would meet up with friends and needed a link cable to connect the two Gameboys. John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic, said to Business Insider that it is “a kind of core element” and will be integrated into the game in the future. Trading is a logical extension for Pokémon GO. Then, there is another element in the game that connects players (this time probably without cables).
Hanke also stated that there will be improvements for PokéStops and Gyms, as these objects are currently “just the basic version”. In a new update, there will be more features with these objects. There will also be a global leaderboard system showing the best Pokémon trainers in the world. Improvements to the augmented reality system are to be made, and even a “Pokémon GO” version specifically for AR devices like Microsoft’s HoloLens is something the Niantic CEO is not against “It might be fun to use this system for that”.
The annoying “Leaver Bug” has finally been fixed. However, not everyone is completely happy with Overwatch . What exactly influences the skill rating?
A bug disappears, confusion remains
Last week, Blizzard released a patch intended to fix one of the most annoying bugs in Overwatch. When players left a game early – whether from their own team or the opposing team – the rating hardly changed. After the patch initially did not fix this issue, a hotfix was issued last Friday. However, some players’ complaints still persist. So did this not work out again?
According to community manager Lylirra, everything is now working as planned, though there is still a bit of a lack of transparency in the rating. Players often do not know exactly why they are rising or falling in rank and what factors influence this.
The leaver issue is a thing of the past.
In the forum, Lylirra stated:
“There are other factors that influence the skill rating. Things like your team’s calculated win probability, individual performance, and win/loss streaks affect how the skill rating is adjusted at the end of a match. These factors exist for a reason (to calculate the skill rating as accurately as possible), but we know it is not always clear why your skill rating is adjusted in the way it is.
In fact, many complaints in this thread seem to stem from confusion rather than existing bugs (we have checked this).
This makes us thoughtful, as we want not only the skill rating to be accurate but also to make obvious sense. The fact that it does not is valuable feedback for us, and we are considering how to improve the feel of the skill rating in future seasons.”
Right under the community manager’s post, there are already numerous complaints and reports that the problem still has not been resolved. Fans are now waiting for a clear statement from Jeff Kaplan – who has remained silent on this topic so far.

Because that alone would still be a bit too lean, we are also adding a few other skins with “dogs” on top. Skadi’s “Frostbound” and Fenrir’s “Iron Maw” await lucky winners who want to dive into battle with the gods. The best part? If you do not already have the base version of the three characters, they will be unlocked with the prize code as well.
In summary, we have 5 skin bundles that each include codes for the following:
Illustrious Erlang Shen
Frostbound Skadi
Iron Maw Fenrir
To win one of the bundles, you merely need to leave a comment under this post. No tasks. Just like that. Because we are nice.
Please note that the codes are only valid for the PC version of SMITE. Multiple entries into the giveaway are prohibited and will lead to disqualification. The deadline for participation is July 17, 2016, at 6:00 PM. Legal recourse is excluded.
From all participants, we will randomly select 5 winners after the deadline and send them the codes via email. Good luck!

Update: A patch with version 1.07 is also available. Approximately 1.5 GB.
Today, the weekly maintenance works in The Division are taking place. It starts at 9 AM our time. The expected server downtime is three hours, so one can log in again at 12 PM – actually!
However, further maintenance works are underway: Between 10 AM and 2 PM, Ubisoft is working globally on their servers, which will cause online restrictions. This means that some services in The Division may not be available.
Therefore, you should better travel back to the post-apocalypse of New York only after 2 PM to avoid unpleasant surprises.
What changes on 12.7.?
The changelog on 12.7. is significantly longer than usual:
G36 nerf: The base damage of all G36 assault rifles will be reduced by 15%.
You can now recalibrate talents on named weapons without any issues. There was a bug here.
Map bug: The map can now be used without problems again.
A bug with the mission UI in the Underground will be fixed.
The AlphaBridge set will receive the missing attributes on gloves. Attributes will also be rerolled on already existing AlphaBridge gloves.
A bug will be fixed that completely interrupted the game music when logging out during an incursion.
PP-19: If you reroll the last talent of these SMGs, you will also get one that has no attribute requirements.
The “Call of the Watch” talent will no longer be triggered by The Showstopper.
Additionally, there was the incorrect visual effect that the application of an individual skill was transferred to all players nearby, not just to the group members.
A bug with the AlphaBridge talent caused weapon talents to be stackable infinitely.
During weapon talent rerolls, you will no longer get a random talent, but the one you selected.
A bug will be fixed that caused agents to die when they went to a safe house and then returned to certain missions.
Additionally, PC agents can no longer use multiple consumables at once.
Only a few days left until the Germany release of Pokémon GO!
After the launch of Pokémon GO did not go according to the developers’ plan, there are now news for a second launch attempt in Germany and other countries in the EU. Previously, the launch in Germany was delayed because the servers could not handle the high load.
Update:Pokémon GO is now officially available for Android and for iOS users in Germany!
For days, fans of the Pokémon series have been asking: “When will Pokémon GO finally be released in Germany?” Through the funny pictures, videos and tweets that are already circulating around the world, the anticipation for the mobile app is growing. Impatient fans can already get the game with an APK trick or by changing a setting in the Apple ID.
When the developers decided to pause the release of Pokémon GO in Germany and other countries, they stated that they wanted to wait until they felt comfortable with a renewed server launch. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the server issues are currently being addressed, and they hope to launch the game in Germany, Japan, and other countries “in just a few days”. Unfortunately, a specific date has not yet been set.

Prime Day Lightning Deals Gaming: Constantly new deals in the gaming and computer sector (many gaming mice, games [Diablo 3, etc.], keyboards, etc.)
Is it worth it?
As prices are not published beforehand, it can only be speculated. Based on last year, the really good bargains were sold out very quickly. They appeared more like bait offers. Although they advertised significant discounts, they were based on the recommended retail prices, so the actual savings were relatively low.
However, the company has certainly learned from this. In addition to the MSRP, the previous Amazon price will also be listed, allowing for a better comparison. However, one should ensure that the offer is indeed as good as it seems before purchasing. It is possible that prices might be better on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, which take place at the end of November.
Is a Prime Membership worthwhile?
To take advantage of the offers, it is likely indispensable. Those who are eligible for a trial membership can fortunately make use of it. They should then cancel in due time. All others must decide whether they want to spend 49€ for a year.
One could wait until a suitable offer is found. If you are unlucky, this might be very limited. By the time you acquire the Prime membership, the item may already be sold out.
However, Amazon Prime offers more benefits than just the Prime Day. Free shipping on the next or – depending on your location – the same day is also possible. And with Amazon Prime Video, the retailer offers a streaming service. Just for that, the 49€ could be worthwhile as the competition is much more expensive.
We will continue to report on Prime Day here at midnight and pick out a few gaming highlights.
