With WoW Legion, instead of a continent, there is an archipelago: The Broken Isles. The capital is once again Dalaran and our goal is to put an end to the Burning Legion. For they received access to Azeroth through the warlock Gul’dan.
There are no significant spoilers here. Only the starting situation for the individual zones has been clarified. Additionally, some names of known characters are mentioned, which we will encounter. However, the section on Dalaran contains spoilers for the pre-event.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, we can finally vacation on a tropical archipelago. Many sights are also present. How about a romantic picnic at the World Tree Shaladrassil? Connected with a unique view of the Emerald Nightmare, which you might even survive with some luck.
This is our starting point. A place where Horde and Alliance come together and explore this grim area together. Along with heroes like Varian Wrynn and Sylvanas Windrunner. Furthermore, the Tomb of Sargeras is located here. Gul’dan broke its seal, thus allowing the Burning Legion access to Azeroth. Our task is to close this gate again.
To achieve this, we need the Pillars of Creation. We will find these in the other areas. Thus, we must travel through the archipelago to interrupt the demonic influx.
Stormheim
This area is primarily populated by Vrykul and Valkyra. We learn a lot about their history and the god-king. Furthermore, we encounter a new dragonflight with Stormwing Dragons. The Legion itself plays only a minor role here.
In addition to internal conflicts of the local population, there are also conflicts between the Horde and the Alliance. Sylvanas’ hatred is directed against anyone who threatens her undead. She has plans in Stormheim, which she is trying to implement as fanatically as Garrosh once did. As a Horde player, the adventure begins with a conflict involving dwarves and worgen.
Val’sharah
Here, Malfurion Stormrage was made the first druid by the demigod Cenarius. Accordingly, this area is strongly influenced by their history and that of the night elves. The World Tree Shaladrassil mentioned in the introduction can be found here, albeit slightly corrupted.
For this area is closely connected with the Emerald Dream. Xavius has been trying for a long time to gain control over it. He is supported by the Old God N’Zoth, who was already responsible for Deathwing and the Cataclysm. For this reason, the Emerald Dream has turned into a nightmare that Ysera can no longer contain alone.
The Highmountain
Many high mountains and the rest of the view strongly resemble Grizzly Hills. Only the tauren living here are new. Instead of demons, we encounter Drogbar and harpies as enemies. And we finally meet Murlocs again!
We have missed them for a long time, as they did not appear in the last expansions. We meet King Mrgl-Mrgl from Northrend again. Actually, he is not a real Murloc, as he is a druid in disguise. Nevertheless, the fish folk faithfully follow their ruler, who asks us for help.
But we also learn more about Neltharion, better known as Deathwing. Together with Brann Bronzebeard, we find time anomalies of the former Earthwarden. Another dwarf we meet here is Hemet Nesingwary. Again we help him with his hunt.
Azsuna
Once, night elves lived here until Queen Azshara had them killed. Today we only encounter the ruins of their civilization, as well as their ghosts. This area is primarily populated by Naga, who want to gain control over the Pillar of Creation.
Additionally, we find remnants of the Blue Dragonflight. After the Hour of Twilight, the victory over Deathwing, the flight retreated to Coldarra. Shortly thereafter, Garrosh Hellscream managed to steal a powerful artifact, the Focusing Iris, from them. This allowed him to destroy Theramore. As a result, the dragonflight dissolved more or less. We encounter some of them here.
For the third time, we will experience Dalaran, once again in a new version. Between the events of Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria, Rhonin has died, Jaina Proudmoore took his place as head of the Kirin Tor. Since then, Dalaran has not been neutral anymore, as Jaina removed the representatives of the Horde, many blood elves died in the process. With World of Warcraft: Legion, Khadgar takes over the governance of the mage city, who has already cooperated closely with both factions in the previous expansion. The city will therefore be neutral again.
The previous version in the Crystal Song Forest remains, by the way. For technical reasons, it cannot be easily removed. It is too important for the quests and stories there.
Dungeons
As usual, the new expansion also features new dungeons in different difficulty levels. How do they differ from their predecessors, both visually and in content? Read the following articles and get the answers.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, we take a closer look at the Titan focus “Striker.” How can you get the most out of it in PvP?
The Striker is currently very popular among Guardians: Not only the devastating Super, but also the brutal Shoulder Charge is feared in the Crucible.
After “The Taken King,” many Titans primarily swung the Hammer, but for months, the Fist of Havoc has made a comeback. This is also confirmed by the official kill-death ratio of the focuses in recent weeks: Here, the Strikers are in the upper midfield – after the Hunter nerf, they are even at the top.
The Strengths of the Striker Focus
PlanetDestiny shows in a new video strategies on how you can effectively use the Striker focus.
These are the most important focus nodes:
One of the best advantages of the Striker is the Shoulder Charge: This grants you increased lethality and, in combination with other focus nodes, a strong survivability.
A good strategy for the Shoulder Charge is attacks from above. This way, you can avoid running directly into the line of sight of your enemies. If you come from the air, the element of surprise is on your side.
Enhanced: If you attack from the air with a melee attack and take out an enemy, your Super energy will be “significantly” charged. So if you find yourself in the midst of enemies, you might be able to unleash your Super immediately and give them a sudden end.
Additionally, you are in third-person perspective during the Shoulder Charge and Fist of Havoc animation. Use the extended view to spot your next enemy directly.
In combination with this, you choose Transfusion: If you eliminate an enemy with the Fist of Havoc or the Shoulder Charge, your health immediately starts to regenerate. This means you are ready for the next fight.
With the Shoulder Charge, you must choose an offensive playstyle. By the time you get within striking distance of the opponent, they may have already taken away a lot of your health. However, if you hit them with the Shoulder Charge, your entire health starts to regenerate. When you turn to the next enemy, you are fully healthy again.
Another useful focus node is Death from Above. This improves the aerial combat style and allows you to target enemies below you with the Fist of Havoc.
The Striker Titan also has a strong grenade: The Flashbang Grenade. It deals immediate damage and releases further shocks over time, allowing you to control your enemies tactically defensively – not just in control zones.
For weapons, you should at least have one firearm for close range. After all, as a Striker, you dive right into the fray. And with just the Super and melee alone, not everything can be handled.
For example, choose a hand cannon with high impact, such as Lord High Fixer or The First Curse. But shotguns and fusion rifles are also recommended.
Thus, you are well equipped for offensive Crucible matches. You can see how the fun looks in practice in this video:

A player takes the Redstone madness of Minecraft to the next level: he recreates the entire “Pokemon: Red” version in the block world.
When pixel world meets pixel world
Ah, Minecraft. A world where everything could be so simple, as it consists only of blocks. The most complex thing in this child-friendly world are actually the various Redstone systems that one can use to build circuits to create automatic doors or operate other simple machines. However, what one can really do with the system is now being demonstrated by the YouTuber MrSquishyYT, who has been recreating other games completely in Minecraft for a while.
A while ago he recreated Pacman, and now he is feverishly working on his next project: the old “Pokemon Red” edition for the GameBoy. So far, the hero (“Red”) can already move freely in the game world, random battles can be triggered, and the menus are already available. The NPCs, however, still need a lot of work:
“The game still doesn’t know that anyone other than the player exists. Adding NPCs will require many new systems, such as merchants, battles against trainers, events, and the ability to interact with other objects in the world.”
A first impression of this can already be gained from this image. Anyone who thinks this is a fake should be told: The “pixels” on the “GameBoy’s” screen are wool blocks in various shades of gray.

MrSquishyYT, by the way, does not use any mods for this, just a modified skin pack to display certain graphics necessary for Pokemon. This makes this achievement even greater.
Mein-MMO says: I still remember how satisfied we were back then on our server when we finally got a railway network with a somewhat automated station up and running. A lot of hours were invested in that alone. It is therefore hard to imagine how much work it must be to completely recreate another game using Minecraft’s rules; even the size of the necessary Redstone setup seems unimaginable to me. In any case, it is a very impressive achievement, even if the game is not fully functional yet.

With Revelation Online, an interesting MMORPG is currently in development. We spoke with Producer Fabien Alexandre from My.com.
Mein-MMO.de: What are the core features of Revelation Online that set this MMORPG apart from other genre representatives?
Fabien Alexandre: Revelation Online offers a brand-new “Massively Online Multiplayer” experience, where players embark on a breathtaking adventure in the lands of Nuanor. The freedom we offer with the game stands out to us. Furthermore, the game launches with plenty of high-quality content, ensuring that players can level up to the endgame while having a complete questing experience.
The story-driven content ensures that we skip traditional grinding, and the many group quests and dungeons keep the gameplay varied and interesting. This is something that Western players are more accustomed to, and it was also a reason for us to want to offer the mystical game world to players outside of China.
Mein-MMO.de: How is flying integrated into the game? Many MMOs do not allow free flying to avoid disrupting the balance. How do you handle this?
Fabien Alexandre: Flying is just fun when you want to explore the world with a bit more freedom. We also make sure that the world is not only vast, but packed with things to discover – including floating fortresses. It is easier to build a world when you have these things in mind from the start. But when it comes to combat, it gets a bit trickier.
Open World PvP is available to players after level 40, allowing us to ensure that everyone is well-trained and equipped to have a fair chance. There are various combat modes that also include flying – so for the siege of a floating fortress, one should better equip their wings.
Mein-MMO.de: The MMO is very popular in China. But how will you ensure that it will also be successful in Germany? Especially Asian MMORPGs often struggle in the Western market.
Fabien Alexandre: We believe that the quality of the content the game offers will meet the expectations of players in the West. The developer studio NetEase has learned a lot from the Western games they distribute in China. This knowledge was utilized when developing the content for Revelation.
Mein-MMO.de: Will the game also develop differently in the Western market, as you will likely receive a lot of feedback from Western players?
Fabien Alexandre: My.com not only publishes the game but actively supports NetEase in developing the Western version of Revelation. Everyone is aware that players around the world do not always want the same things.
Mein-MMO.de: How important is storytelling in Revelation Online? There are many cutscenes, which is not very common for an MMORPG.
Fabien Alexandre: In Revelation Online, players will experience many main chapters and many hours of additional stories and side quests. The background story of the world Nuanor was written by Jiang Nan, a well-known Chinese bestselling author of fantasy literature. Recently, we teased the story of the world a bit with a trailer. In addition to this immense work on which the world is based, we present the story through dialogues and cutscenes. As we approach the beta, we will reveal more about the story.

Mein-MMO.de: How will you handle PvP and PvE? Is there open PvP or specific PvP areas?
Fabien Alexandre: The game will offer daily quests, raids, and additional group content for PvE players. The previously mentioned PvP modes take place in instances and special arenas and in battlegrounds. The PK system, on the other hand, is basically an open world system. Guilds will combine both modes, especially since the best guild of one server can challenge the best guild of another server – and one can also offer new quests for guild members.
Mein-MMO.de: What will Revelation Online offer for fans of sandbox games?
Fabien Alexandre: There will be something to discover behind every cloud and behind every tree. This freedom benefits players who do not like to complete quests. The crafting and gathering system, as well as open PvP and achievements, will make Nuanor a place worth exploring, while always feeling like you are achieving something.
In The Division, the State of the Game, the weekly report from Massive, just took place. They talked about the contents of Update 1.3 for the PS4 and upcoming fixes.
The community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau presented the new contents for the PS4 agents in the stream with a graphic, which are now available: The new missions in Challenge Mode, the new Heroic difficulty level, the AlphaBridge gear set, the new weapons and weapon types, and the Ubi-30 outfits are shown in it. All this information about the PS4 contents has already been introduced in this article.
Additionally, the free contents include some new features that are not shown in this graphic: The terminal is available in the operations base, you can access the new highest Dark Zone class, weapon talents can be rerolled, and the inventory will be expanded.
Upcoming Bug Fixes in The Division
When the developers mentioned that PS4 agents can now access the terminal, they meant that you only have to walk past the reward vendor and down “the stairs.” They had to chuckle at that – after all, “the stairs” quickly drew all of the agents’ rage.
Apparently, the developers are currently looking into this major annoyance to see if they can somehow shorten the long march. They are checking if a fix is possible for that. The stairs are supposed to become more agent-friendly.
Additionally, a client patch is currently being compiled. This will address the map bug and other encountered issues. If Massive can manage it quickly, this will be deployed by the end of this week. However, they do not want to promise that. Otherwise, the patch will come at the beginning of next week.
Maintenance work is scheduled for next Thursday – even though there was already the weekly server downtime today. The developers need to make some adjustments to the server, as announced. With a bit of luck, the aforementioned client patch will go live by then.
In conclusion: The Ubi30 outfits that adorn our title image will be available for all agents for free in the Ubisoft Club today. However, not just yet. But definitely later today.
Will you get the outfits?

In Japan, a trade fair focused on pornography in virtual reality had to be canceled shortly after opening for safety reasons due to an overwhelming number of attendees.
Virtual reality is gradually gaining significance and public interest. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR are becoming increasingly exciting for users. Even MMO fans should keep an eye on the technology, as such a stylish VR headset offers the chance to dive even deeper into beloved online worlds one day.
However, it is not only the gaming industry that is curious about VR. Especially searches for the term “VR Porn” have increased significantly in recent months. The level of interest in such applications is illustrated by a bizarre event in Japan.
“VR Porn” festival canceled due to excessive visitors
In Japan, a “VR Porn” event had to be canceled “for safety reasons.” During this festival, the topics of virtual pornography and VR sex were to be presented as vividly as possible with corresponding practical examples.
“I won’t miss this,” some interested individuals probably thought, flocking to this event in droves. Japanese media is now reporting that the overwhelming number of attendees led to the early cancellation of the festival.
According to a visitor’s experience report, the city was practically flooded with crowds. He constantly had to think about a possible mass panic, as so many people were hardly manageable.
On the Japanese blog 20to4000.hatenablog.com, you can find some pictures from this fair – and what all you could see and test there.
In Destiny, the weekly reset will take place on July 5th for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. We summarize the challenges of this week.

Today, the June Iron Banner will also come to an end. After the monthly PvP spectacle was postponed and in doubt, it has been running relatively smoothly in recent days. Only a little sand was in the gears.
Let’s see what lovely things the coming week brings.
Nightfall Strike in Destiny from July 5th against Valus Ta’aurc
The Nightfall strike this week is Cerberus Vae III. You will face the Cabal Commander Valus Ta’aurc.

Challenge of the King’s Fall Raid
Last week, Golgoroth invited us to dance in the King’s Fall Raid. Therefore, in the coming days, Oryx himself will personally greet us for the challenge.
Black Desert Online has the most powerful and versatile character editor ever seen in an online role-playing game. However, the many options can overwhelm some players. Fortunately, there are handy “templates” that provide us with especially cool character designs.
In Black Desert Online, our imagination knows almost no bounds when creating characters, but sometimes we just wish for some particularly cool templates to spark our creativity. Fortunately, there are templates for exactly this purpose. These are designs that can be saved and shared as their own files. You just need to load them into the character editor in Black Desert Online, and you can tinker with the creations of other players or even take them over completely.
“Where’s the action?” Even Arnie is available as a warrior template.
The website bdotemplates.com hosts hundreds of such templates, neatly sorted by class type and featuring a leaderboard of the most popular templates. Among the templates, there are many personal creations as well as numerous recreations of well-known characters from other stories and games, or BDO variants of famous personalities. Want some examples?
Is that….Geralt? A touch of The Witcher in Black Desert Online.
Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri from the Witcher series are available in several variants.
From the bloody fantasy epic Game of Thrones, there are, among others, dragon queen Daenerys and the powerful Dothraki lord Khal Drogo.
Walter “Heisenberg” White from the series Breaking Bad is available as a nasty bald wizard.
The actors Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are also available as templates for especially cool badass heroes!
If you’ve always wanted to be the Son of God, you will also find Jesus (or he will find you!). The perfect template for a guild leader!
Heisenberg as a bald wizard? No problem!
How do the templates get into the game?
After just a few minutes on the templates page, it’s clear: “I need these templates!” But how do you get the templates into the finished game? It’s much less complicated than you might think. Just follow these steps:
First, download the corresponding template from bdotemplates.com.
Save the file in unpacked state under the following path: C:Users[username]DocumentsBlack DesertCustomization
Now start Black Desert Online and select the class from which the template originates.
The typical hero of the selected class will appear, click the “Load File” button at the bottom of the screen.
Select the template of your choice and load it.
Now you can either apply the chosen design or tweak it a bit, for example, give Arnold Schwarzenegger green hair and a mustache.
Dragon queen Daenerys is also among the templates.
So much for the templates and designs of Black Desert Online. Have you already gotten some or even uploaded your own templates from your heroes? And what character would you like to see in Black Desert Online? Write it in the comments and let us know!

Blizzard is suing a cheat manufacturer for Overwatch cheating software. And once again, it comes from Germany.
Quality Cheats from Germany – Sued in California?
Groundhog Day. The legal dispute between the German software developer Bossland and Blizzard is entering a new round. After it was already made clear at the beginning of last month that there is actually only one major cheating software for Overwatch and it comes from Germany, Blizzard has now sued the manufacturer Bossland again.
The cheat program allows you to see the positions of all enemies and allies on an additional radar, as well as display the distance to your character – ambushes have become virtually impossible.
A small catch has arisen though. Since Blizzard filed the lawsuit in California, Bossland faces little judicial danger – what a California court says about a German cheat manufacturer is likely of little concern to Bossland. At least the CEO of Bossland, Zwetan Letschew, is relatively calm about the situation.
For only 13 euros a month, you become the hated game spoiler.
Mein-MMO states: Quality made in Germany. Joking aside, it is actually quite sad that such providers even have a market, as it only shows how many players are willing to pay real money for an unfair advantage – fully aware that they take the fun away from all other players. Since the mentality of some players is unlikely to change, it would be nice if this issue would finally be a thing of the past and some parts of the terms of service would indeed be binding. Until then: Stay fair, then the fun will be greatest for everyone.

Where can you find the best gear in Legion? We will reveal to you where to get the strongest equipment in the new WoW add-on.
Good gear comes from many sources
With World of Warcraft: Legion, a lot changes in Blizzard’s MMORPG. Especially the traditional item system blurs a bit, as good gear comes from many different sources. However, there is a certain guideline showing where to get which equipment. To help you roughly plan how and where to collect your gear, we have created a list that indicates where to get equipment for the various types of content.
Starting Gear (“blue” – rare)
Item Level
Normal Dungeons
805
World Quests
805
Quests in Suramar (Level 110 Zone)
815
Heroic Dungeons
825
Advanced Gear (“purple” – epic)
Group Finder Raids (“LFR”)
835
Mythic Dungeons
840
Raids (normal)
850
World Bosses
860
Raids (heroic)
865
Raids (mythic)
880
Also remember that PvP gear starts at item level 810 – depending on your rating, you will receive better gear when you win in the arenas and battlegrounds.
Similar applies to the crafters. They can already create “level gear” with item level 715 at the start at level 100 and then craft high-level gear for the endgame. With the new material Obliterum, an item level of 850 can be reached.
A user on Reddit has summarized this list in a clear graphic.
In The Division, maintenance work is being carried out today, July 5th, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers are offline. Patch 1.3 is coming for PS4 and further bug fixes will be deployed.
Today is the day for PlayStation 4 as well. The postponed update 1.3 is now available for download since this morning. However, maintenance work still needs to be completed. As soon as the servers are back online, all agents can play the free content of 1.3.
At 9 AM our time, the servers will be shut down. The estimated server downtime is three hours. By 12 PM everything should be back to normal operation.
Starting today, the Ubi30 outfits should also be available.
What is coming on July 5th?
The following information can be found in the changelog:
The content of update 1.3 is coming for all PS4 players. However, the content of the Underground expansion will not be activated. This will come on August 2nd.
A bug is fixed that caused high-value targets to be capped at level 30 and not drop target data.
A bug will be addressed that allowed players to replay the final battle and loot by dying after the fight.
Server instabilities that disconnected players from the servers will be resolved.
In the upcoming football simulation FIFA 17, the rumor mill is boiling and currently serving up a mysterious leak about the demo. The release date, playable teams, stadiums, and game modes are mentioned.
In recent years, demo versions have always been released a few weeks before the launch of each FIFA installment on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. Therefore, it is not too far-fetched to claim that FIFA 17 will also have a demo before the release of the main game.
The fan page Fifplay currently provides concrete information about the “FIFA 17” demo. It is not specified where they got their information from. Since many large gaming sites are reporting on this “leak”, we don’t want to withhold this information from you either.
Are the release date, teams, stadiums, and game modes of the “FIFA 17” demo?
According to the leak, the demo will be available for download between September 12 and 14 for all platforms.
According to Fifplay, you can play with the following teams in the demo:
Therefore, all information mentioned here from the rumor mill should be taken with a grain of caution. Whether they are correct cannot be determined until an official statement from EA Sports is made.
One thing is certain: FIFA 17 will be released on September 29, 2016, for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360.
A new god enters the arena of SMITE: Erlang Shen will appear this week – with his dog.
Erlang Shen – The Elevated Sage
In time for the start of summer, there is a new Chinese god in SMITE. Erlang Shen takes up the spear as a warrior and leads his dog into battle.
Let’s take a brief look at his abilities:
The passive ability Howling Celestial Dog describes the dog that permanently accompanies Erlang Shen. Whenever Erlang performs an auto attack, the dog also strikes for 15% of his master’s damage. The dog can land critical hits and trigger item effects, but only at 15% of their original strength.
Spot Weakness is a powerful self-buff. For 5 seconds, all of Erlang Shen’s attacks deal additional damage, and the attack penalty on movement speed is ignored. As long as the ability is on cooldown, each auto attack reduces the cooldown – allowing it to be kept active permanently, given sufficient mana.
Pin lives up to its name. Erlang Shen pins his spear into the target area, dealing damage. Enemies in the center of the effect are briefly immobilized and crippled.
72 Transformations allows Erlang to dash forward quickly, triggering one of two effects – Ferret or Turtle. Ferret: All enemies he touches take damage. Upon contact with the first enemy god, he transforms back and gains additional attack speed for 6 seconds. Turtle: All enemies he touches take damage and are knocked up. Additionally, Erlang receives a shield for some health points.
The ultimate ability 9 Turns Blessing taunts all enemies before Erlang Shen for a short time – they are forced to attack him. For 4 seconds, Erlang Shen takes less damage (up to 15%). If he is still alive at the end of the effect, he will be healed for a large amount.
Erlang Shen already appears to be the bane of any squishy character, capable of competing with assassins like Loki effortlessly. Especially with items that grant additional attack speed, he slices through mages and hunters in seconds.
New Skins and Balancing Changes
Of course, new skins are also on the way, as Bellona, Khepri, and Fenrir will receive new looks that can be earned through the event “Summer of Smite”.
Alongside the patch, there will also be some changes to existing gods. Aphrodite will enjoy a new passive ability that grants her additional protection, based on the number of allies nearby. Vulcan will now receive a mana and speed buff whenever he hits an enemy with an ability.
A full list of all changes can be found in our sources. The patch will be released this week if no major bugs are found.

In Destiny , Bungie has selected the Videos of the Week. They are really good – but the videos from our community can compete. Enjoy!
Every week, Bungie picks a few stylish videos created by the creative guardians. In many cases, these are impressive Crucible montages, occasionally musical outbursts, and sometimes the videos are simply funny and entertaining.
This week has a bit of everything. Afterwards, we’ll show you entries from our community. Many of you also prove artistic and “video editing” talent that we proudly present.

In Black Desert Online, the latest DLC Valencia literally sends us into the desert, and a proper camel is simply the done thing there. But how does one acquire such a desert ship? Read it in our Camel Guide!
“A kingdom for a camel!” may be what some players of Black Desert Online are sighing in frustration because, in the desert region of Valencia, it is not exactly clear where the modest animals with humps roam and where to buy them. But fortunately, some resourceful players of the sandbox online RPG have searched long enough and found a quest giver who even gives us a desert ship for free!
Here you can find your free camel!
The following guide and the images come from the official forum of Black Desert Online from the user “LycaBloodhunt”. For free camels, you only need to follow these steps:
First, make sure you have reached at least level 55.
Go to Valencia to the “Sand Grain Bazaar”.
Look for the Stable Master “Bochlo” there and make sure all quests are displayed, otherwise, you may not see the camel quest.
Bochlo is a big fan of camels and wants to teach you everything possible about the creatures. For this, you will need 15 energy and about 10 minutes of gameplay for the following quest.
Once you have completed the quest, in addition to the usual rewards, you will also receive a voucher for a free camel!
Here is the quest giver Bochlo.
So you see, with very little effort, there is already a simple but sturdy camel for the very small budget (it is free!). Important note: The feature “Trade your horse for a camel” does not seem to be available yet in the western version of Black Desert Online. But until we can exchange our horses for practical camels, the free beginner camel should suffice for now.

In Overwatch disconnects automatically count as a defeat – even if you return quickly. A patch is in the works.
Statistical defeat despite clear victory
In the new ranked mode of Overwatch, which is now live on both PC and the two consoles, there are ongoing complaints and issues. A particularly frustrating error often occurs when players lose connection during a ranked match (for whatever reasons) and then rejoin the game.
Although they resume the game in a timely manner and then manage to win, they receive a defeat in their statistics. This leads to a lost placement match or a decrease in skill rating.
While it is certainly intended for “rage quitters” who leave a game early to receive a defeat, this should not be the case for honest players who return quickly. Fans are quite upset on Reddit and in the official forum, prompting Jeff Kaplan to issue a statement: A patch is likely to be released this week that will fix these issues.
Since Kaplan speaks of “fixes”, it can be assumed that other problems will also be addressed by the patch. We will report on this as soon as there are concrete details.
Mein-MMO says: An issue that has likely cost many players ranks. One can only hope that the patch will also address other growing pains of the ranked mode. On the other hand, Blizzard has announced that the first season is a test season and that some complications must be expected. However, it is reassuring that patches are being released at such a rapid frequency. Perhaps Mercy will also be treated better in the ranked system.

Spending every free minute on Mein-MMO is desirable, but unfortunately not always possible. For this reason, we want to present to you weekly the most popular articles from the last 7 days.
To ease your mind: Destiny and The Division have of course reserved the top spots for a long time, yet the weekly recap should be a bit more balanced. Thus, the articles presented here are all popular, but do not necessarily represent positions 1-10.
Neither of the two shooters made it to place 1. With a narrow lead of under 50 page views, a news article about PlayStation Plus won. Those who subscribe to this service receive some games from Sony for free every month.
For the first ten spots, this name appears much more frequently than Bungie’s title. The second place went to our article on the Gear Sets and the “Underground” stream. It is therefore not surprising that the patch notes were also quite popular. The rest mainly consists of bugs or nerfs.
Bungie’s announcement of an upcoming event was enough for place 3. A very close result, perhaps the game will manage to climb a rung higher on the winner’s podium next week. Also interesting was the question of what will happen to the old raids and whether they might be revised. A nerf is also present, but no bug.
Eventually, another game finds its way onto the list. A glitch in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team attracted our readers’ attention. This is said to have existed unnoticed for 7 years. The need for a solution to this problem was significantly lower: Page views had more than halved.
Shortly after EA follows Blizzard with Overwatch. The article about the commemoration of a deceased player on a map was clicked frequently. Following this were golden weapons and the ranked system. The latter received double appreciation: once as a mere overview of what this system is about and a second time in the form of a column.
Are MMORPGs dying out? This question occupied not only us but also you readers. However, when something dies, something new is born. Riders of Icarus is going into open beta soon, and we have all the info for you prepared. Furthermore, with Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, a completely new game has been announced. A shooter whose zone is getting smaller and smaller, forcing players to kill each other. Those who die are eliminated.
In The Division, Update 1.3 is set to release tomorrow, on July 5th, on PlayStation 4. What changes for PS4 agents?
For about a week now, the Underground DLC with Update 1.3 has been live for PC and Xbox One. While the content of the expansion will not be available to PS4 users until August 2nd, Update 1.3 was supposed to launch simultaneously on all platforms. However, on Sony’s console, the patch has been delayed by a week. Tomorrow is when it is supposed to happen.
Update 1.3 for PS4 – What’s coming, what’s not?
When the delayed patch can be expected to release on PS4 was initially unclear. Just a few days ago, Massive announced that July 5th would be the cut-off date. We summarize clearly what will change for PS4 players starting tomorrow – and what will not.
Drachenhort: In the new raid Drachenhort, PS4 agents must also stay out for another month. This is currently considered the best Incursion in terms of loot and fun.
Each piece of equipment now has a fixed number of mod slots:
Chest: 2 mod slots
Mask: 1 mod slot
Knee pads: 1 mod slot
Backpack: 1 mod slot
Gloves: 0 mod slots
Holster: 0 mod slots, but they have all three attributes.
Furthermore, the patch notes state that with Update 1.3, starting tomorrow, PS4 agents will also receive the Operations Base expansion. The terminal is a new social area in the base, which you can reach via a very unpopular staircase or via fast travel. Here you will find vendors and access to Underground missions.
Beta Test for PS4?
In forums and comment sections, PS4 users often mention that the delays of Update 1.3 and the expansion are not a big deal. They say that Xbox and PC agents are testing for PS4 players, jokingly referring to a current “beta test phase”.
This comparison is actually not entirely wrong – after patch 1.3, some problems occurred, which the developers are currently working on. Some of them have already been fixed, others are still being investigated. For some, a fix is already ready.
So far, it is still not officially known when the patch will be released tomorrow. It is likely that maintenance will take place from 9 am to 12 pm. As soon as the servers are back online, the update will probably run. The developers might also use this downtime to push some fixes that PS4 agents will directly benefit from.
We will report on the specific procedure for installing the patch on PS4 by tomorrow morning at the latest. Possibly we will also update this article promptly.
Update: Patch comes tomorrow for PS4. Server downtime from 9 am to 12 pm. As expected.
