The Cryptic Studios are giving the Playstation 4 version of the MMORPG Neverwinter a new user interface.
MMORPGs are increasingly finding their way to the current console generation. However, it is necessary for developers to adapt the user interface accordingly. Because on the console, you do not play with a mouse and keyboard, but with a controller. This means that all functions need to be quickly and easily selectable. The menu navigation also works differently with a controller compared to a mouse and keyboard.
New UI for the PS4 version
For the upcoming Playstation 4 version of Neverwinter, the developers have revised the UI. A lot has been streamlined and simplified. Every button on the controller has a function or an assigned item. Skills are selected via a palette system, similar to what is known from other console MMOs. Those who have been able to try the controls on the PS4 report that Neverwinter plays very intuitively and fluidly.
Updates coming a little later
The Cryptic Studios also state that the update cycle for the PS4 version will be aligned with that of the Xbox One version. Updates on the console will be experienced about a week after the PC version. In terms of content, the Playstation 4 version of the MMORPG will not differ from the other versions. The Cryptic Studios explain that console players want to experience the same game, just comfortably from the couch.
Tips and tricks that can make your CEO company more successful in GTA 5 Online. Become a CEO, register, and earn a lot of money – here’s how!
What does a CEO do in GTA Online? Since the major GTA 5 Online update Further Adventures in Finance and Felony, you can build your own empire with illegal operations as a CEO. You smuggle weapons, medicine, jewels, or drugs. To ensure these businesses are successful and profitable, there are important things to consider – because the competition is also active and wants a piece of the “pie”.
Become a CEO – Buy a CEO Office
To activate your CEO status and register in the game, you must first buy an office from which you can manage your operations.
Which office should you buy? The office you choose depends entirely on how much starting capital you have. If you prefer to save money, the cheapest office option is completely sufficient – there are no business disadvantages. Here you can find the prices and different features of the CEO offices in GTA 5 Online.
Plan the next job with your employees.
What can you utilize? In the office, you also have a table with a large 3D map, showing the various warehouses (Green: Owned – Red: For Sale). Between your missions, you can sit on the couch with your employees and play “Don’t Cross The Line.” At your desk, there is a computer through which you can conduct new business and order goods.
At the reception desk of your office, your personal assistant is waiting and ensures that business runs smoothly by taking care of logistical tasks. Thanks to her assistance, your Pegasus vehicles are ready for you outside when you need them. She can also arrange a quick helicopter taxi for you, which will take you directly back to your office.
She also has good taste: You can refill your snacks for free with your assistant!
Register as CEO and Manage Warehouses
Once you own an office building in GTA 5 Online, you can register as a CEO in the interaction menu or directly at your computer in the office. Registration is not time-limited and is also free. To store the goods you demand as a CEO, a warehouse is needed – but they come in different sizes.
Illegal goods, such as art pieces or weapons, are stored in the warehouse.
What size should my warehouse be? Warehouses come in small, medium, and large – which size is right for your warehouse depends entirely on your play style. The value of the individual boxes in the warehouse increases with the total number of boxes stored.
Example (made-up numbers):If you have 2 boxes in your warehouse, you can sell the contents for $8000. If you double the number of boxes to 4, you won’t get double the profit, but rather about $18000 (the double profit + bonus). A full, large warehouse therefore brings you more bonus profit than a full, small warehouse– but you also need a lot more time to fill a large warehouse.
In the long run, it is worth buying a large warehouse. To make “quick money,” you can opt for a smaller version. The purchase depends entirely on how much time you are willing to invest. Additionally, in your warehouses, you have the option to outfit the vehicles for your goods deliveries with weapons or armor to make the delivery trips safer.
The missions in which you procure illegal goods are not always easy and require coordinated teamwork with your employees. You will face police units, helicopters, high-speed chases, and surprise attacks. When you request goods, they are available in different amounts: 1 box, 2 boxes, and 3 boxes. Multiple boxes have a higher difficulty and cost more money to acquire – but fill the warehouse faster.
Goods deliveries do not always go as planned: Gangs, the LSPD, and even rival players are waiting for a CEO to order illegal goods. You should time these deliveries well so that competitors do not destroy these boxes and ruin your profit. Each player can only carry 1 box at a time, which is why employees in your organization are particularly important when other players are in your online session.
If something goes wrong during the job, your assistant will contact you on your phone to inform you. Additionally, each goods request has a specific time limit in which the boxes must reach the warehouse – here, too, organization and efficiency are required. After completing several missions and securing goods, you, as a CEO, have the opportunity to request a special item. This item is heavily guarded, but extremely valuable and brings you more money than the usual goods.
Selling the Goods
At your laptop in the warehouse, you have the option to sell the goods in storage. There are 3 options (4 options if you have special items in storage) for selling.
Selling in larger quantities brings you a lot of money but also more attention, increasing the risk of being attacked during transit – if you fail to deliver the goods, it can get quite expensive.
Here is where more money awaits: The more players there are in an online session while selling your goods, the higher the selling value of your goods – after all, you are taking on greater risk.

At Battlefield, the developer DICE announced major changes to the user interface.
The developers of the Battlefield series are working on a new UI that is supposed to be “more intuitive and centralized”. Social aspects are in focus: The player experience with friends is to be improved.
This means that you can already form a squad before joining the game, making the experience smoother. This ensures that you fight side by side with your buddies.
In addition, the UI changes include further innovations, such as a “Recommendation Engine,” with which players can suggest new maps and modes. The UI will draw attention to relevant content in the future.
New UI not only in Battlefield 1
The UI changes are not only coming for the upcoming shooter Battlefield 1 but also for previous Battlefield games. The new user interface is already available in a beta version for Battlefield 4, but only for a “small audience”. Larger tests are to follow.
Later, a release of the UI for Battlefield Hardline is also expected. Once the UI for all three games is released, according to DICE, players will simply be able to “switch between games” as long as they own them.
Battlefield 1 will be released on October 21 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

In The Division the weekly status report, the State of the Game, has just aired. It already mentioned the first bugs that will come with update 1.3.
Recently, the servers are back online: PC and Xbox agents can download the patch for 1.3 and dive into the underground of post-apocalyptic New York.
PS4 users are wondering: “When is it our turn?” Massive has now clearly stated this and mentioned the important dates:
The free update 1.3 is expected to be released on Tuesday, July 5. It includes gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and more, like the new weapons and a gear set.
The Underground expansion will be released for PS4 on August 2 – with the underground missions, the raid “Dragon’s Lair” and four new gear sets.
Additionally, on July 5, the Ubi30 outfits can be requested for free in the Ubisoft Club and will then be received at the rewards vendor. These can be obtained by all agents, regardless of platform and the acquisition of expansions.
By the way: According to Massive, you can also purchase “Underground” without a Season Pass. This has been possible on Xbox One since midnight, and on PC since today at 12 PM.

The first bugs from update 1.3 are officially known
Before the launch of update 1.3, Massive mentioned bugs that should be fixed soon. Two weapons are affected:
Showstopper: This shotgun currently triggers the talent of the “Call of the Watch” on hits. This should not be the case, as the effect would otherwise be too strong. Note: The talent “Showstopper” on this weapon cannot be re-rolled.
G36: These assault rifles currently have too high a base damage. They will be nerfed in the future.
Massive does not classify these bugs as exploits. You can freely “enjoy” them until the issues are resolved.
Further information from the status report:
If you find old gear sets after update 1.3, they can also reach the new maximum gear score.
“Scrap collection” is currently a rather meaningless value as there are many guaranteed rewards in the game. This value will be adjusted to the new circumstances in the future.
The underground missions run on a different game server than the rest of the game. Depending on the traffic, there may be a slight risk that issues may arise when starting these missions, and you may have to wait a bit until the server transfer is completed. The risk is low but can occur.
In computer games, especially MMORPGs, food is primarily intended to obtain buffs – in Crowfall it serves another purpose.
If you don’t eat in Crowfall, you won’t starve, but there are still some disadvantages for you. Essentially, you are immortal in the MMORPG. During each campaign, you embody a “vessel” that you can change. The vessel can be destroyed in battles, but your soul continues to live. However, you must always take care of this vessel, for instance, by improving attributes. Or by eating something. Because your vessel needs food.
Eat or you will become weak
Through a display, you can see how hungry you are. If you don’t eat anything, the display drops and the “Chicken Barometer” falls. When the display reaches zero, you will turn into a “chicken.” However, this is not to be taken literally. You do not transform into a chicken. Rather, it signifies that due to the disadvantages you incur, you become weak and “cowardly” like a chicken. These disadvantages include:
Hunger bar below 70% – Your natural health and mana regeneration ceases.
Hunger bar below 30% – Your stamina regeneration stops, and you can no longer sprint for long.
Hunger bar below 10% – You take damage every 5 seconds until you reach 20% health. This will not kill you, but you will be pinned down at 20% health.
This means you should always keep your hunger bar at least at 70 percent. You must therefore always ensure that you regularly eat something. With this system, the developers of the MMORPG Crowfall aim to bring survival elements into the game. The food system will be deployed to the MMO’s test server this week.
In FIFA 16, the community has found a supposed proof of a glitch in the “Ultimate Team” mode, which is claimed to have existed unnoticed for 7 years. If this is indeed the case, it would be an extraordinary scandal for EA Sports.
“FUT” has been the most popular mode of the FIFA series since FIFA 09. Many players enthusiastically build their own Ultimate Teams, play against each other, and conduct cutthroat business in the transfer market.
Many fans will also invest real money in the mode to buy packs and thus have the chance to obtain the best players in this mode. There are also cases where young people invest thousands of dollars into the in-game currency “FIFA Points”. Since large sums of money are circulating in FUT, it is important and actually obvious for fans that everything in the mode is above board. However, for years there have been rumors that a kind of handicap exists for particularly strong teams in direct comparison to weaker teams. The term “Momentum” in FIFA is often mentioned.
Now, proof has supposedly been provided that there is a long-standing glitch in team chemistry.
Devastating Glitch in “Ultimate Team” Mode – Is It Real?
In FUT, you build a team from players you pull from packs or acquire on the transfer market. The most important aspect of this mode when assembling your team is the “chemistry”. How chemistry is calculated in FIFA 16: FUT is presented here.
You increase the chemistry attributes of your players by matching their nationality, league, and club. Players with high chemistry values receive boosts to their attributes, such as sprint speed, shot power, or dribbling. With low chemistry, these are nerfed. In short: Chemistry has a tremendous impact on your players’ performances and thus on your game.Now the community has made the following discovery:
A large portion of the best and most expensive players in FUT do not receive boosts from the chemistry value. This makes them feel sluggish, slow, and clumsy compared to other players. An observation that has been noted for some time – but always without proof. This refers to the “in-form” cards and other special cards (TOTS, TOTY) – which are not the “standard” cards that have been in the mode since day one.
This would mean that fans have been investing huge amounts of money in players who are no better than the “standard” cards – in some cases, even worse!
The gameplay mechanics of FIFA games are opaque in many ways, which is why such myths and conspiracy theories quickly establish themselves. Therefore: How did the players find evidence for the glitch?
The Evidence for the FUT Glitch
The glitch was discovered thanks to a skill move that can only be executed with a dribbling value of 86 or higher. The user RighteousOnix conducted experiments based on this, which you can view in this video:

What he discovered: First, he took a day-1 player (standard card) whose dribbling is below 86. He increased the chemistry value, causing the dribbling value to rise above 86 and he was then able to execute the move. Here, chemistry works – everything is wonderful.
Now he took a card with similar dribbling values. But this time it was a non-day-1 player card, but an upgraded card. This player could not execute the move. Now the YouTuber increased the chemistry value, and yet he was unable to apply the skill move. Dribbling should now have been over 86, as with the standard card.
With this, it is claimed to be proven that the chemistry value has no effect on players who have not been in FUT since the beginning.
Therefore: In-form cards that are only slightly upgraded compared to the standard card are therefore worse than the standard cards, as chemistry does not apply to them. Only heavily upgraded cards, like TOTS or TOTY, are better than the original, as their attributes are simply outstanding. But even for them, chemistry does not apply.
In short: Apparently, the glitch means that only the day-1 standard cards are influenced by chemistry. For all others, chemistry – the actually most important aspect in FUT – is completely irrelevant. This glitch is said to have been ingrained in the code since the beginning of FUT, since FIFA 09.
So far, there is no statement from EA Sports regarding this matter. The glitch is therefore not officially confirmed.Consequently, all the information presented above should be treated with utmost caution.
If they were to prove true, dark times would lie ahead for EA Sports. Because, especially when real money is involved, fans will take to the streets.
Update: According to GameStar, the publisher has now issued the following official statement:
The FUT community has pointed out a possible discrepancy in fitness and chemistry with some FUT items. After hearing this, we have intensely scrutinized the information over the weekend and will continue to investigate the matter thoroughly. We will keep the public updated regarding the investigations. Our commitment remains to deliver an entertaining, fair, and safe gaming experience in FIFA and FIFA Ultimate Team, and the feedback from the community helps us achieve this goal. At this point, we would like to extend our special thanks to our community for their continuous efforts across all channels.
Alongside Lord Saladin’s arrival at the Tower, there’s also the “regular” weekly reset today. Let’s see what the new week brings.
Update: There were minor issues during the Weekly Reset. The modifiers and the raid challenge were displayed incorrectly in-game. Some Guardians even ended up in different Nightfall strikes. Everything should be back to normal now.
If you are still having issues, return to orbit.

What do Donald Trump, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian have in Black Desert? They conquer the world.
Celebrity in the Fantasy World of Black Desert
If you give players too much freedom, they will shamelessly exploit it. In Black Desert, guilds have the opportunity to customize their logo quite extensively. Those who want can even import their own images from their PC into the game world and present them as banners, coats of arms, and shields. While most players either design their own cool guild emblem or resort to anime images, there was a rather unusual action on the Orwen server. Several guilds replaced their emblems with images of various celebrities.
The guild “Black” took a portrait of Kanye West and plastered it over various structures and – for everyone to see – also over the world map. Other guilds followed this example and displayed coats of arms of Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian.
And, as the internet is, it only took one statement in the forum: “No Trump? That is disappointing.” Only a few hours later, images of Donald Trump also appeared in the game world. With such images, one can easily forget whether they are currently in America or the world of Black Desert:
Click to enlarge, then you can also see the faces.
Some players felt disturbed in their immersion by these emblems and logos. For many, the game is a refuge to escape for a few hours from everyday life and politics – they do not want to be confronted with that in the game as well.
The corresponding thread in the official forum has already been closed by Daum, on the grounds that users have no rights to the published images. It is only a matter of time before the logos will disappear from the game world as well.

In The Division, the patch for the Underground expansion and Update 1.3 is now available for download. PC and Xbox agents can download it.
The patch for 1.3 is now available for download. While PS4 users will have to wait at least a week, PC and Xbox agents can now download the GBs.
You can start the download during the maintenance. If you have fast internet at home, you can start playing the expansion directly at 12 PM when the server downtime is over.
Players who don’t want to level up in WildStar can soon bypass this for real money. Carbine is offering a level boost.
Max Level and Fully Equipped, Please.
For many players, the leveling phase is the best part of an MMORPG, as it allows players to explore different areas and see constant progress in story and character strength. However, another portion of players finds leveling tedious and would sometimes wish to skip this “annoying phase” of the game. This wish will be granted in the future with WildStar, as the game will provide a service through the character selection that allows a fresh hero to be directly boosted to level 50.
To ensure players are not “naked in the rain”, there is also a starter package included for character enhancement, allowing direct entry into the high-level adventures of the game. This package includes the following items:
Solid gear for level 50 (both attack and support gear)
A race-specific mount
Some platinum coins
The rewards of the chosen path
Some ancestral gems
Direct access to housing
The next version of the public test realm (PTR) is supposed to have this service available for testing. The boost is particularly suitable if you want to try one of the new race and class combinations directly at the maximum level, such as the Aurin Tech Pioneer or the Chua Warrior.
The exact cost of this character boost is still unknown – nor is it clear whether it can only be purchased with real money or also with the alternative currency. A concrete date for the update is also still pending, but it is to be expected that the feature will be released simultaneously with the launch of the new raid “The Terror of Red Moon”.

With Legion, there are some pets in World of Warcraft that only a few classes can obtain. Alternate characters are a must for collectors.
If you want pets, you must twink
In World of Warcraft: Legion, the identity of the individual classes is meant to be strengthened. This is largely achieved through artifact weapons, but the class halls also contribute to this. However, for fans of pet battles or all pet collectors, this could be a curse, as some of the new pets from Legion are only available in certain class halls as part of their respective campaigns. Overall, there are 4 pets exclusive to the following classes:
There is a little bit of reassurance, though: Not all classes will get their own pet, so one would only have to level up “a handful” of alternate characters.
In plain terms for all collectors: Anyone who wants to have all the new pets will have to acquire several twinks and bring them at least to level 100 and advance the campaign of their respective class a bit.
Mein-MMO says: No matter how you look at it, the necessity to have several classes at a high level is quite a direct occupation therapy for pet battlers. But at least we have an early warning and can start leveling shamans, warlocks, and druids – but which characters should I delete for that? This situation does not really make me happy.

Maintenance work is taking place today, June 28, on The Division. The servers will be taken offline on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. 1.3 “Underground” is coming.
Today, the “Underground” expansion along with update 1.3 is released for PC and Xbox One. However, maintenance work will take place before that. After that, the new content will go live.
At 9 AM our time, the servers will be taken offline. The estimated server downtime is three hours, so you can log in again around 12 PM. 1.3 should then be available.
So far, there is no information from Massive in the Ubi forum about whether a 3-hour downtime is also planned for PlayStation 4. After all, PS4 players will receive update 1.3 no sooner than a week from now. However, since Massive has not mentioned any restrictions, we assume that maintenance work will be carried out on all platforms.
“Underground” and Update 1.3 are coming
Anyone who has purchased the expansion can start playing the new content from this afternoon: the Underground missions, the Incursion “Dragon’s Lair”, and four exclusive Gear Sets can be looted.
All agents will also receive the new features and bug fixes of update 1.3.
In The Division, the “Special Report” on the Underground expansion has just taken place. It introduced the five gear sets from 1.3. We summarize the information.
An hour before the livestream for “Underground,” Massive revealed some info: They released a new trailer and the patch notes for 1.3, which you can watch here.
Nonetheless, numerous interesting new features were shown during the stream. Particularly exciting: The specific bonuses and talents of the gear sets.
Beforehand: Important information for all PS4 agents. Update 1.3 has been delayed; it is expected to be released next Tuesday.
These are the gear sets from “Underground” 1.3.
During E3 2016, information about the new gear sets came to light. However, Massive warned that the values could still change. And they have changed.
This is the “AlphaBridge” set
This set is available to all agents as soon as they download update 1.3. Here are the set bonuses:
2 pieces: +2 medkit capacity
3 pieces: +100% health regeneration
4 pieces: If the primary and secondary weapons belong to the same category, the active weapon benefits from all active talents of these two weapons.
This is the B.L.I.N.D. set
These are the bonuses of this set:
2 pieces: +20% critical hit damage from the pulse
3 pieces: +100% resistance to “Blind and Deaf”
4 pieces: When you kill an enemy, a blind effect is triggered at that position, blinding enemies in the vicinity.
This is the DeadEYE set
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +20% critical hit damage with precision rifles
3 pieces: +40% stability on the first shot
4 pieces: Critical hit chance is increased to 100% when the precision rifle is not scoped, but this deactivates the headshot damage bonus.
This is the Reclaimer set in The Division
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +100% healing speed from the support station
3 pieces: +50% duration of consumables
4 pieces: Consumables and special ammo are applied to the entire squad and are not consumed.
This is the FireCrest set
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +3 incendiary grenade capacity
3 pieces: +100% reload speed
4 pieces: When you kill a burning target, you receive incendiary grenades for 10 seconds. You can keep firing at enemies with incendiary grenades as long as you keep killing enemies.
Showstopper and Weapon Talent Recalibration
During the stream, the developers showed all the new weapons in the shooting range. Particularly interesting was the new named weapon Showstopper. This is an automatic shotgun with a special talent: The lower the magazine, the tighter the crosshair becomes. Thus, you can make extremely precise shots towards the end of the ammunition, as shown in the following screenshot:
By the way: All displayed weapons had a gear score of 229.
For rolling weapon talents, it was mentioned that you have six attempts to find the right talent for a weapon:
For each attempt, you randomly receive four talents to choose from. If you want to change the weapon talent that does not have attribute requirements, the new talent will always be active.
By the way: The gear score visible in the screenshot is 255.
Underground missions of the expansion 1.3
In the stream, there was live gameplay of the Underground missions of The Division. You must first increase your underground rank to unlock multiple phases, higher difficulty levels, and directives. These cannot be selected immediately.
If you die in the underground, you receive no rewards and must start over. Even if you complete a phase, you only receive rewards when you completely master the mission.
Interesting: The items in the underground containers (similar to the sealed containers of the Dark Zone) adapt to your gear score. The higher your gear score, the higher that of the items. These are said to be a good source for improving your gear.
The new incursion “Dragon’s Lair”
The incursion Dragon’s Lair fights against the Cleaners. They bring new “toys” with them: They drive explosive charges toward you with modified toy cars. At first glance, these may look “cute,” but they are extremely deadly. In addition, they have a “big toy” with them, which will be the final boss of the incursion.
The incursion itself differs from the previous ones. It consists of multiple phases, through which you have to fight in different locations. You fight against the “Four Horsemen,” dangerous Cleaners who seek power. Then the final boss appears. Additionally, the incursion is said to include interesting coop mechanics.
The developers recommend increasing exotic damage resistance against the Cleaners. Final Measure is in order.
By the way: There will also be checkpoints.
The “Four Horsemen”
More info from the stream:
In the underground, there will be exclusive cosmetic items.
The two previous incursions will immediately receive the heroic mode at launch, while “Dragon’s Lair” will get it a week later.
The current “problem” that agents in the Dark Zone can be eliminated with a single shot using sticky grenades is being closely monitored. It is expected that changes with update 1.3 (specifically the gear score increase) will resolve the issue. The sticky grenades will no longer be OP.
Our friend Schorri TV shows you the information from the stream in moving images. You will also see the “little toys” of the Cleaners:

An analysis of the statistics website Superdataresearch has shown that Overwatch, League of Legends (LoL) and World of Warcraft (WoW) are the absolute top earners in their respective segments. Read here how much money was exactly generated.
Overwatch sets one record after another. Because after Blizzard’s hero shooter already replaced Lol as the most popular game in the PC Bangs of South Korea, the game is now also the top earner in the PC gaming sector. According to the statistics page Superdataresearch, Overwatch generated over 269 million US dollars in revenue in May 2016.
Thus, it surpassed the struggling competitor game Battleborn by far; the Gearbox shooter MOBA only managed to reach 18 million US dollars. Curiously, Overwatch is significantly less successful on consoles, ranking “only” fifth, ahead of Uncharted 4, Black Ops 3, Fifa 16 and The Division.
Blizzard can also rejoice, as the cult MMORPG World of Warcraft is still the number one in terms of revenue in the subscription-based online role-playing game sector, despite declining player numbers. Thus, Blizzard’s MMORPG ranks ahead of the competition in the form of Lineage, Star Wars: The Old Republic and the Western version of TERA. Yes, here all MMOs that allow a subscription are grouped together, even if it is optional.
The top 5 games in terms of revenue in May 2016. Source: Superdataresearch.com
In the free-to-play MMOs, the MOBA League of Legends clearly leads the field and is significantly ahead of the rival Dota 2, which only made it to fifth place. Overall, the study also revealed that online games – such as The Division – are increasingly becoming successful on consoles. In contrast, subscription revenues from the PC market were expected to continue to decline and fell below the 200 million US dollar mark for the first time in May 2016.
All of these figures pertain to revenue from the “digital market”, meaning the games do not go through a physical storefront.

Crowfall developer ArtCraft has announced today that the throne war MMORPG will be published in this country by Travian Games. The publisher from Munich is said to fit the concept of the game best.
At the Munich publisher Travian Games, known for the namesake building game Travian and several other mobile and online titles like Rail Nation and Truck Nation, the mood is likely to be exceptionally good. Because the developers at ArtCraft have decided to distribute their upcoming MMO Crowfall via Travian Games in the future.

Thus, the company from Munich takes over the publication of Crowfall in Europe, Brazil, North Africa and the Middle East. The reason for this collaboration, according to Travian CEO Lars Janssen, is that they have understood each other very well with ArtCraft and even cultural similarities exist between the two teams.
The chemistry is good between the publisher and developer of Crowfall
Similarly optimistic are the developers at ArtCraft: “We received several offers to publish Crowfall in Europe, but Travian simply fits best with our corporate culture. Travian Games has an enormous reach with millions of players worldwide and at its heart is still a game developer,” says Gordon Walton, the head of ArtCraft from Texas.
Moreover, Travian Games already has experience in campaign-based games and Crowfall is supposed to be just such a title. In the throne war MMO realized via Kickstarter, players play for several months in a campaign and try to survive during this time with their heroes amid the turmoil of a throne war. As soon as a kingdom is conquered and the campaign ends, it continues with a new episode. By the way, the open beta test of Crowfall will start this winter.
The title “Video of the Week” has been earned by the impressive video “Into The Light.” With impressive music, it shows a transition between calm moments in the Destiny universe and rapid sniper kills in PvP:

Blizzard and Facebook implement streaming via Battle.net. The latest alpha version of the software provides a taste.
Stream quality still improvable
The Battle.net software has received an update – at least in the alpha testing version. The already announced feature to stream various Blizzard games like WoW, Overwatch or Hearthstone directly via Facebook is included in this version. While it is still in an early stage, the colleagues at wowhead have already taken a closer look at the feature. The menus currently only have basic options, allowing manual settings for whether only the displayed game should be transmitted, or also sound from the microphone or a transmission from the webcam.
As the system will be tightly integrated with Facebook, various privacy settings will also be added, such as the option to make the stream accessible only to friends or the public, and additionally to set whether it should appear in the timeline.
mmo-champion has already experimented with this feature using Hearthstone and created a small test video.
