Overwatch can currently only be played in unranked matches. The ranked mode is still awaited. But when is it coming?
Blizzard has caused confusion about Overwatch on Twitter. They responded to fans in the conversation that the ranked mode would be released in mid to late July.
The news wires were burning worldwide. “The mode is being postponed again by a month. Oh God, Blizzard. We really want to play ranked! What are you doing?”
No, nothing is being postponed. Blizzard made the typical mistake and confused June with July. Through Twitter, the site of the outrage, they then sent an apology.

So command back, all good: The June date remains. Ranked play should start in mid or late this month.
Mein MMO says:Well, if one were reasonable and finally renamed June to Beberoum, the month to praise the great beaver, such problems would no longer exist.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is a way to multiply your Exotic Shards.
An Exotic Shard is described as “a remnant that seems to be alive.” In the endgame of Destiny, it is needed in large quantities by Guardians to infuse other items into Exotics. This allows you to increase the power level of exotic items.
To ensure you always have enough shards in your inventory, our friend Nexxoss Gaming shows you a trick on how to efficiently “farm” these items:

For this method to work, you need to make some preparations beforehand. You need:
At least one Exotic Shard
Plenty of Glimmer
A variety of Light Particles
A Heavy Telemetry
Here’s how it works:
Fly to the Tower and walk to the Exotic Weapon Schematics. You will find these in the large room where Zavala, Ikora Rey, and Cayde-6 chat about important Vanguard matters. Here you’ll find a collection of all the exotic weapons you’ve had so far.
Now buy exotic machine guns or rocket launchers. These cost one Exotic Shard and 2500 Glimmer each. Therefore, you need at least one shard and enough Glimmer beforehand.
Now activate the Heavy Telemetry: This causes the development of heavy weapons to be accelerated for 30 minutes. If you don’t have any telemetry in stock, you can buy it from the weapons master for 250 Glimmer and 5 weapon parts.
Now it’s time to use the Light Particles: Equip the heavy weapon you’ve acquired and pump it full of Light Particles. This gives the exotic weapon experience. With six Light Particles, the heavy weapon is fully leveled up.
Now you dismantle this leveled-up weapon and receive two Exotic Shards.
So you can quickly gain multiple Exotic Shards using one Exotic Shard, Glimmer, and some Light Particles. This process can be repeated indefinitely – until you run out of Glimmer or Light Particles.
Nexxoss Gaming gives the following additional tip: Before investing the Light Particles, you can fill the other slots with items that also need to be leveled up. Here even blue items are worthwhile: When you dismantle them in their leveled-up form, they also yield Light Particles.
Note: For this method, heavy exotic weapons are recommended, as primary and special weapons require more Light Particles before they grant you two shards.
Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is embarking on an unusual cross-promotion. Soon, characters from Yo-Kai Watch will appear in Square Enix’s MMORPG.
Cuddly Ghost Creatures in Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV continues the trend of cross-promotions with other game developers. As recently announced, the folks at Square Enix have teamed up with LEVEL-5 to bring the characters from the game series “Yo-Kai Watch” to Eorzea. Some of these creatures have already been featured in screenshots, so you can get a first taste.
This promotion is planned for the summer; however, there is no specific date yet.
What is Yo-Kai Watch?
While the name is still relatively unknown to us, Yo-Kai Watch is quite a success in Japan, reminiscent of the early Pokémon games for some nostalgic players. It is also based on a video game series, supported by mangas and “tangible” products.
However, Yo-Kai is not a classic “monster story”; it centers on a boy who is simply trying to manage his life. He attempts to reconcile his parents’ disputes and be a good son. He is neither particularly gifted nor notably “bad” but simply an ordinary boy trying to master his life – which many Japanese can likely relate to.
The twist: All the negative things in the world are triggered by “ghost beings.” Hunger, sadness, pain – all of these are managed by invisible creatures that the protagonist can fortunately see, fight, and ultimately befriend through his watch (and with the good Yo-Kai, he can then fight against the evil Yo-Kai).
At least in Japan, the series is a huge success, so Final Fantasy XIV will surely benefit from the cross-promotion.
In Overwatch , a first balance patch is coming. The changes affect D.Va and McCree.
Less damage for McCree, adjustments for D.Va in Overwatch
At the release of Overwatch, Blizzard was relatively satisfied with the balancing, after all, the release was preceded by a pretty long beta phase during which all heroes were tested for several months. However, with the current player numbers, some inconsistencies have emerged. The developers have now responded to fans’ criticism in the official forum.
Geoff Goodman, the Principal Designer of the game, agrees that McCree is currently a bit too strong. Especially the combination of the flashbang and right-click (firing all bullets still in the chamber) has proven to be too powerful, as even massive tanks melt away in a second.
Goodman has also addressed concerns regarding D.Va. Many players find her too weak because her damage is low and she has a quite large “critical hit zone,” which leads to her mech being destroyed quickly. It was made clear that D.Va’s low damage at range is indeed intentional, as otherwise she would be more of an offensive hero.
There may be adjustments to D.Va, but these are likely not to increase her damage. While no concrete plans are mentioned, an increase in her hit points or a reduced critical hit area would be good options to achieve the desired changes.
Brawl allows only Genji and Hanzo
Lastly, the game mode “Brawl” was changed last night. After “Arcade” was played last week, a mode in which all heroes had many hit points and short cooldowns, only “Super Shimada Bros.” is on the agenda. The game is played on the map Hanamura, and only Genji and Hanzo can be chosen as playable characters to finally decide which brother is stronger.

The latest patch “Ascension” for the Free2Play MMORPG ArcheAge is now live. Players can found their own nations!
Found kingdoms and tame a wyvern with Patch 2.9 in ArcheAge
At Trion Worlds, it has been announced for a long time, and now the patch 2.9 titled “Ascension” is live on the European servers and has expanded the game with numerous features and improvements. As of this morning (June 1, 2016), the update is available and can be downloaded for free by all players.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzaNqHTEAGo
At the heart of the patch is the ability for players to now create their own kingdoms and thus independent factions. These player-formed nations can declare wars, build numerous buildings, and the ruler can even tame their own wyvern, which they can then ride into battle. However, all these things are very difficult to accomplish, and only well-prepared guilds that invest a lot of time and effort into such an undertaking will be able to found a nation, as this can be thwarted by other players even during the founding phase. We have explained how the founding process works in this article.
Equipment for everyone!
If you log into the game now, to better prepare for the latest content, you will receive a whole load of equipment. Each player receives a total of 22 items, bringing them to an equipment level between 3500 and 4000. This is intended to help those who have not played for a long time to get significantly closer to the current content without having to play through “old” content first. If you do not need the equipment for your main character, you can of course give it to a twink.
For more news and articles about the sandbox MMORPG, you can find them on our ArcheAge game page.

This crazy super sports car comes with the new DLC for GTA 5 Online!
In the new update for GTA 5 Online, you will soon be able to be the leader of a criminal empire and earn a lot of money. But what would a multimillionaire be without the right super sports car? For this question, Rockstar Games has come up with something that will particularly please fans of high speeds.
The Pegassi Reaper in GTA 5 Online
The Pegassi Reaper – one of the new cars from the update
In the announcement of the new game content, Rockstar Games included an image of one of the new vehicles that will soon be available in the game. Without details, there it was, the Pegassi Reaper. Now car fans will likely be able to make the connection to various real existing cars that the Pegassi Reaper visually resembles. The YouTuber MrBossFTW has also thought about the announced car and compares it to a mix that mainly consists of “Lykan Hypersport” and “Lamborghini Huracan”.
Source: Wmotors.ae
Lykan HyperSport
The crazy hypercar resembles the announced Pegassi Reaper in GTA 5 with its sharp edges and contours. Did Rockstar take ideas from the Arab sports car for the new car?
Source: Wikipedia
Lamborghini Huracan
Particularly the front section of the Lamborghini strongly resembles the Reaper. The Huracan is the successor to the Gallardo, which also served as the template for the “Vacca” in GTA 5.
This is how the Pegassi Reaper could look in GTA 5 Online
Through the modding community of GTA 5, the two mentioned cars are already available for download and testing. MrBossFTW made a video about what these cars look like, how they drive, and how to tune them.

The racing MMO The Crew has over five million players now, and to celebrate this, the developers revealed some of the hidden Easter Eggs in the racing game.
Have you found all the Easter Eggs in The Crew? If not, you don’t need to search anymore because the developers at Ivory Tower unveiled a few Easter Eggs in honor of the anniversary of over five million players in The Crew.
Especially Hollywood references are hidden in abundance in The Crew. For example, the school building from Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” which lies with its flock of crows in Bodega Bay. In the west of Monument Valley, there is a small chapel by the roadside, which is modeled exactly after the place where Beatrix Kiddo is brutally shot at the beginning of Tarantino’s cult revenge drama “Kill Bill.”

The roster of heroes of the early access MOBA Paragon is steadily growing. We present to you the latest addition, Riktor, and take a look at how developer Epic Games deals with unwanted players. You have been warned!
He just wants to play!
With the weekly patch of the MOBA Paragon, yet another hero enters the battlefield of Agora. Riktor, the hot-headed cyborg, wants to quickly make friends. And he can conveniently pull them in with his long chains – though that rarely ends in a friendship.
Additionally, he can electrify his heavy chains, which he swings like whips, causing damage to his opponent, slowing them down, and applying silence. Only a few of his acquaintances may appreciate that.

Furthermore, he can electrify the ground around him, causing damage over time. Ultimately, he pierces the less desirable friends with his ultimate, stuns them, and only pulls the plug after the stun ends.
By then, his remaining team should have dealt with the attackers so that no one hangs at the end of the chains. Perhaps he will find a few teammates who appreciate him. Although even they can be taken away from him faster than he might want. Because with his passive ability, he grants allies increased movement speed… The poor, tough guy with the soft heart just wants to play.
The good into the pot, the bad… – Rate your teammates in Paragon
The community wants that tooand together, in a positive and helpful environment – with players who don’t lose their temper at the first failed action or statement and who complain about every little thing and their own anger.
Exactly such individuals are also not welcome in Epic Games’ game. Therefore, there is now the possibility at the end of the match to rate your teammates positively and negatively.
While not every negative report will have consequences in the current stage, data will be collected in the long run, and at a later point, it will be decided to what extent small direct penalties, such as a chat ban, or rewards for particularly positive gameplay can be granted.
Everyone is also encouraged not to let inactive good-for-nothings and slackers get away with their behavior. Therefore, Epic Games has tightened its penalties again and immediately imposes a ban of 1 to 3 days for the first offense (depending on severity).
The second and any subsequent offenses threaten at least a 7-day ban – at most, an immediate permanent exclusion. And cheaters should perhaps think again about what they are doing. Because if caught, the zero-tolerance policy goes into effect immediately, and you will be out of the game.
It may be harsh, but it is fair. Because no one wants to let their game be ruined by an idiot who has nothing better to do.

Clear words from Riot Games – The Solo rank queue will not be reintroduced in League of Legends.
For a long time, League of Legends (LoL) had two queues for ranked games. One of them was the Solo/Duo queue (Solo-Queue), where players searched for a ranked game alone or with another player. The other queue was for teams of 5 players who registered as a premade group for a ranked game.
The end of Solo-Queue and the beginning of Dynamic-Queue in League of Legends
Because they saw the Solo Queue system as outdated and “not good”, the developers at Riot Games designed a new queue for ranked games that works from Solo to 5 player teams. The system is called Dynamic-Queue because it can adapt to any team size. Additionally, there is a role selection in this queue, allowing players to choose 2 roles they would like to play.
A large portion of League of Legends players are dissatisfied with the Dynamic-Queue, as the system has not been in the game for long and still has issues that need to be improved. Players in higher ranks sometimes experience over 50 minutes of waiting time for a ranked game. In rare cases, solo players may even face a team consisting of 5 players who registered at the same time (premade).
Role selection in LoL
The selection of a specific role currently does not work as expected. With the planned changes, players should receive their primary role much more often! Many players likely know the problem: If you do not register as a support player, you rarely get assigned your primary role. This graph makes it clearer:
As Support, you have a 95% chance of your primary role – In the middle, it’s only 55%!
In the coming days, changes will be implemented to further increase the chance of receiving the primary role. In the future, it is desired to continually improve this feature.
Team fairness in LoL games
The quality of games will also be improved by addressing fairness. Because even though these games are quite rare, it can happen that a solo player must play against a 5-man premade team. In the range from Bronze to Platinum, it occurs as a Solo/2 player/team in 1 out of 1000 games that one plays against a 5-man premade team. In the Diamond range, this occurs in 1 out of 150 games, and in the Master+ range, it even happens in 1 out of 25 games that one must play against a 5-man premade team.
The win rates currently look like this (All ranks included)
The win rates have already improved since the beginning of Dynamic Queue.
Premade teams will receive a stronger handicap to ensure that games against solo players are more balanced.
No 5-man premade teams in high Elo in LoL
To ensure the quality of “elite games”, particularly strong adjustments must be made in the high Elo area. Currently, it may happen that you must play against the world champions SK Telecom T1 if you register at the wrong time. Since fairness should be the priority in League of Legends games, starting from Diamond rank 5 or higher, players will only be able to enter the ranked queue with a maximum of 3 players simultaneously.
However, the developers are considering allowing 5-man premade games in high Elo at certain times. These would be specific hours on certain days of the week when significantly more players are active in ranked games.
Long waiting times in high Elo of League of Legends
The waiting times compared in Elo.
Recently, work has been done on the matchmaker system so that players in the very high Elo area experience an average waiting time of 17 minutes instead of 30 minutes. The selection of a specific role in combination with the limited number of players in elite Elo causes long waiting times. Here, priorities will be adjusted so that players receive their desired primary role less often, but can find games faster.
If the waiting time for a game is too long, an autofill mode will be activated. If the two roles that a player has selected result in an extremely high waiting time, the autofill mode will choose a role that the player has not selected, but that has a significantly shorter waiting time. However, this autofill matchmaker system should only intervene in emergencies – the developers want to minimize the number of players affected.
A roundtable with LoL developers and players
To discuss the problem and bring more clarity to the topic, RiotPwyff, RiotSocrates, and the lead developer of the Dynamic Queue, RiotLobster, sat down with YouTuber GBay99 and ex-pro player Scarra to discuss the individual points.

In the MMO shooter The Division, a video shows a rare scenario: countless agents all want the same supply drop.
With update 1.2, the supply drops in the Dark Zone have been made more lucrative. While they drop the best loot in the Dark Zone class 201+, they are also sought after in the lower “brackets”, as agents can effectively level up their score with them.
However, these supply drops are not given away for free: they are guarded by strong elite enemies. You will also encounter other agents who want to snatch the delicious loot right in front of you. It also happens that multiple agents fight over a supply drop – in the following example, there are many!
When the whole server is after a supply drop
The YouTuber mdclear witnessed this rare case where an enormous number of agents were after a single supply drop. He captured this phenomenon in the video:

As hostile NPCs and some agents hurry around the delivery, the YouTuber finally manages to claim the loot. Since so many enemies, agents, and rogues are fighting each other, he refers to this moment as “Supply Drop Chaos”.
In the comments and on Reddit, players are celebrating this video and congratulating the YouTuber for managing to grab the loot. What do you think of this video?
The Elder Scrolls Online was raised to “18+” by PEGI in 2015 due to its justice system and we understand this all too well with the new trailer for the Assassin DLC “Dark Brotherhood.” It indeed shows a true bloodbath!
Last year we reported that TESO was raised by PEGI from “16+” to “18+” with the introduction of the justice system. The reason: You can now (almost) kill any NPC – whether friend or foe – and possibly even get away with it.
Look Uncle, my two new daggers!
Until now, there haven’t been many good reasons to become a murderer. This changes abruptly with the new DLC “Dark Brotherhood.” Because here our “hero” becomes an initiate of the mysterious assassin cult that has spread fear and terror in Tamriel for centuries.
As if from the Assassin’s textbook!
If anyone still doubts the content of Dark Brotherhood, they should take a look at the (English) trailer for the DLC. In the video, we actually just see the same scene over and over: An assassin sneaks up on a poor soul, draws the dagger, and stabs the victim from behind.
The creators of the video seem to have placed great emphasis on variety, as the displayed killing animations are always different. From the classic throat cut to the kidney stab and the heart thrust from behind through the ribs, everything is included that makes an assassin’s heart race.
The new DLC “Dark Brotherhood” is therefore not for the faint-hearted; they might prefer to stick with the nice scoundrels and ne’er-do-wells from the Thieves Guild from the previous DLC “Thieves Guild.” What do you think about the trailer and the idea of becoming a ruthless killer who stabs anyone and everyone when the quest requires it? Write it in the comments!

These player-created jobs for GTA 5 Online were so well-received by Rockstar that they are now officially promoted!
In the video game Grand Theft Auto 5 Online, it’s not just about killing other players and stealing cars, but also about earning money through jobs and missions to afford a new apartment or vehicle. With the editor mode, any player can create their own levels and games and then share them with the community. Some of these player-created levels are so good that Rockstar publishes them and invites players to prove their skills in these levels.
The Prison Break at GTA 5 Online
In the featured jobs and missions, it’s about a prison break. All of these Captures, Last Team Standings, races and Team Deathmatches take place in or around Bolingbroke Penitentiary. Let’s take a closer look at the individual jobs:
Penitentiary Panic – Capture, PC
“On the roof of Bolingbroke Penitentiary, the inmates are protesting – however, this quickly escalates into a riot. You can take advantage of this chaos to steal the hidden drugs of the inmates while you take on the opposing team.”
This capture comes from the Facepalm Community and provides plenty of action. Because here, you don’t just need to steal two bags and kill the opposing team, but also take on the inmates. You have fixed assault shotguns as weapons, with which you must fight your way to a roof where the drug supplies spawn.
High Profile Transport – Capture, Xbox 360 & Xbox One
“A known inmate is coming to Bolingbroke Penitentiary. To ensure nothing goes wrong, the police have significantly increased security!”
This capture job comes from the LS Police Department Crew and is designed like a convoy. One team tries to get the prisoner into the prison, while the other team attempts to intercept the convoy before it reaches the prison. The transport team selects a driver to drive the prison bus. The rest of the transport team gets into an armored police transporter, from which you can protect the prison bus.
This Last Team Standing is a good job for players with patience. If you are impatient and just “rush in”, your chances of success are low. There are many different items on the map that provide cover, and also many places where ammunition spawns. You can also find various weapons like sawed-off shotguns or AP pistols on the map, as well as grenades. With the right strategy, you can lead your team to victory in this job.
In this capture job, you experience a prison break from Bolingbroke Penitentiary that couldn’t be much more chaotic. With combat SMGs, you fight off the fellow inmates and guards, and of course the opposing team as well. Meanwhile, one player from your team needs to steal the prison bus and drive it to the delivery area. The rest of the team protects the driver by taking out enemies on the ground and in the air with rocket launchers and miniguns.
“While breaking out of prison, two rival gangs cross paths”
With powerful weapons, you must demonstrate in this team deathmatch that your team deserves control of the prison yard. Intense battles are guaranteed, as from battle rifles to Molotov cocktails, you have strong arguments in combat with the other team. In this YouTube video, Stronktank shows you how this deathmatch can go.
Now you have seen or experienced various scenarios that are more focused on shooting. Of course, a race on this theme must not be missing. Around the penitentiary, player EvolDave has set up a racetrack that has its challenges. It is advised not to drive the Sanchez or that one Blazer, as you will very quickly come to a stop. Additionally, you should only carefully jump over the ditches and duck down to avoid hitting your head on a satellite dish.
Today, on June 1st, the latest update “Day of Vengeance” is released for Blade & Soul. Finally, the arch-nemesis Jinsoyun will get what she deserves!
Just a few hours left, and vengeance will be ours! The gripping Kung Fu anime story of Blade and Soul reaches its temporary climax in the upcoming update “Day of Vengeance,” and it may finally be the end for the villainess Jinsoyun.
However, the epic final brawl is not the only new content in the Kung-Fu MMO. In our article about the update “Day of Vengeance“, you’ll learn everything about the new dungeon and the pets.
The update is expected to go live on June 1st around 1 PM, and the servers will, of course, be offline. No Kung Fu action in the afternoon! The duration of the maintenance is also unclear, so plan an alternative evening program just in case!
Update: NCsoft has scheduled the maintenance for five hours. Blade and Soul should be back up and running by 6 PM on June 1st.

In Destiny , June starts with a weapon day. Banshee-44 is back on the job on June 1st.
No rest for the restless. Exo Banshee-44 is still on duty and will have a new weapon day on June 1st. Guardians can earn reputation points with him, order weapons, and pick up others. At certain reputation levels, there are quests, that lead to exotic weapons.
These are the test weapons this week
You earn reputation points by using these test weapons as intended.
A Suros auto rifle requires precision skills.
Omolon provides a fusion rifle, with which you need to deal with Vex Minotaurs – or what you call life and limb for Vex.
A Suros rocket launcher aims to take down high-ranking enemies.
A Häkke shotgun seeks crucible kills.
In the crucible, there’s a sniper rifle from Omolon. And since it cannot go there by itself? Correct, you have to go.
These weapons you can order this week
Starting with the Ari-41, an auto rifle with “medium archetype”, high stability, low range.
The hand cannon Kumakatok from Omolon can come with perks like Roulette. But if hand cannons dominate, they are usually exotic. And at the moment, they are not dominating.
The Herja-D is a pulse rifle with quite high stability, but so far it hasn’t earned a standout reputation.
The rocket launcher SUROS JLB-47 is on offer, in case someone needs a heavy weapon. This is the “good rocket launcher” of the two variants that Banshee can sell in Destiny.
And as the last weapon, there’s the Jingukugo-D, a shotgun. It has a tongue twister as a name and otherwise few features.
Recommendation: Nothing really stands out.
These are the weapons you can pick up this week with these rolls
A rocket launcher causes a stir, the JLB 47, with a strong roll. It comes with spear, heavy load, explosive nonius, and rockets explode on approach to the target. It shoots slowly, there are only 2 rockets, but … everything else is there.
The popular Arminius-D is available this week with balanced perks, surrounded, small caliber weapon. No god roll, as a reinforced frame is missing.
A PDX 41 is available this week with perfect balance, outlaw, and small caliber weapon.
In this video, you can see the rolls for the Dis-43 and the Dis-47.

It is once again time to vent about other players. I particularly enjoy doing this, especially after a release like the recent one with Overwatch, where the density of idiots in many games significantly increases.
“Omg, Mei is cancer” and “only retards play Bastion” are still among the more friendly comments you get to read in the chat these days. Worse are the people who spend more time complaining to their own team than focusing on the game.
“D.Va is so bad, she deals no damage and her mech dies way too quickly.”
“I can’t understand how this game costs 40€ when it is so poorly balanced and lacks content. PvP gets boring after 3 rounds.”
And of course, the favorite: “Team Fortress/Battleborn/Counter Strike/Any game is so much better, why is anyone playing this at all?”
Mei is cancer! No, she’s actually just cute.
I’m glad I don’t have pencils lying on my desk because I would have broken them by the hundreds.
Almost as much as the people who have to say something stupid at the end during the “Play of the Game”. One out of twelve players receives a special honor for a cool (at least most of the time) play. And instead of congratulating the player or at least keeping their hands off the keyboard, there’s almost always an idiot in every round who has to ruin that moment with “Q of the Game” or “Wow, right-click, much skill”.
Instead of letting someone else have their “10 seconds of fame”, you have to ruin it, huh? But you know what, my dear whiners? Obviously, the displayed play was better than anything you delivered in the round. So let the other players enjoy their moment. Maybe then you won’t always have to play alone.
I look forward to the day when these players finally draw the only logical conclusion and spend their time on more meaningful things than playing a game they don’t even enjoy. Because that’s really a waste of time.
How did you perceive the first week in Overwatch? Were there many reasons to get upset? Or were you mostly spared from the annoying elements of such games?

In The Division, Ubisoft presents a video that showcases real, emotional player experiences in the Dark Zone. Guaranteed goosebumps!
According to the developers, the Dark Zone, the PvP area in The Division, is supposed to represent the most dangerous and exciting place in the game. Here, you encounter other agents, and you can never be sure whether they will simply go their own way, support you, or treacherously shoot you in the back.
Now Ubisoft has released a video titled “Dark Zone Story: The Saviour”. This is meant to depict the true story of the British Division agent EvoX_Gecko – a player who is wholeheartedly committed to the cause.
The Saviour – The Goosebumps Video from Dark Zone Experiences
The Saviour, “The Rescuer”, is said to be based on real player experiences and was entirely filmed in the Dark Zone. The focus is on EvoX_Gecko, who narrates his gripping story in this PvP area. This is how he became “The Saviour”:

The agent found himself in the Dark Zone and was surrounded by numerically superior Rikers. The situation seemed hopeless. Suddenly, two other agents appeared out of nowhere and helped him in the fight against the enemy overpowering them. They saved him.
From then on, the three of them traveled through the Dark Zone together. No words needed to be spoken. Everyone knew what to do.
At the extraction zone, the next big danger awaited them: Rogue agents! They had no chance together and had to flee – feeling the breath of their enemies on their necks. The pursuers were getting closer.
The three new friends barricaded themselves in the subway and fought bravely in the last battle. But they quickly realized that they wouldn’t come out of there alive. Therefore, the agent resolutely decided to sacrifice himself for his two former rescuers. They escaped. He did not. This is how he became “The Saviour”.
This touching story has already been seen by thousands of users and received mostly positive feedback. What do you think about it?
What stories have you experienced in the Dark Zone?
On June 12, it will finally happen. At 11 PM our time, Battlefield 1 will be publicly presented at E3. This has been officially announced by Electronic Arts and DICE Sweden.
During the presentation, a livestream of a 64-player multiplayer battle will be shown. Among the soldiers will be well-known YouTubers, streamers, and “special guests” who are set to showcase the spectacle. The two teams will be led by Stonemountain64 and Neebs from Battlefield Friends.
By the way: At the same time, new artwork was released, which also shows a soldier of the German Empire with equipment and weapons:
Battlefield 1 will be released on October 21 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Can you imagine Overwatch without weapons? A petition aims to achieve just that.
Overwatch without Weapons! A Strange Demand
Some time ago, Blizzard removed a controversial victory pose of the heroine Tracer from Overwatch because it was considered by some players to be too sexist and focused on Tracer’s backside. This decision has already deeply divided the game’s community before the release and led to a whole series of memes and mockery around this issue. Among these things is a new petition that takes the absurdity to the extreme and demands: Overwatch should manage without weapons. It says:
“Thanks to the noble organizers from the community, Jeff Kaplan and Blizzard have finally done the right thing and removed the terribly sexist and offensive victory pose of a female character, known as ‘The Tracer.’ While that is a good start, we still have many concerns in the gaming community regarding Overwatch, including the use of weapons to brutally kill other players, sometimes even cruelly in the form of headshots.
We, the gaming community, want to put an end to this brutality. Please sign this petition if you agree. If we clean Overwatch of all these problematic weapons and sexuality, then we finally have a first-person shooter that we can play with our whole family.”
Overwatch without Weapons – a very absurd demand.
So far (as of 01.06.2016, 6:00 AM), this petition has already gathered 13,700 supporters, who probably do not take it very seriously – at least some comments suggest so.
“The game needs more violence, less clothing, and of course many sex scenes with a lot of variety, so we can teach our children what kind of porn exists and they can figure out faster what they actually like.”
“Weapons ruin the game and should have been removed during the beta.”
Mein-MMO says: Silly? A bit.

The director of the Warcraft movie promises nearly 40 extra minutes – but only if the film is a success at the box office.
Success is a prerequisite for 37 extra minutes of Warcraft
For nearly a week now, the Warcraft movie has been showing in German cinemas and already has a considerable length of 123 minutes. However, the work was originally supposed to be 37 minutes longer, with a total running time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. As is often the case in the film industry, numerous scenes have been cut or even completely removed from the theatrical version of the film to meet various requirements and producer expectations.
Fans are particularly eager to see the additional scenes at some point. But what needs to happen for a “Director’s Cut” version of the film to be released? Duncan Jones then gave a pretty direct answer: “There will be no extended version of the film if Warcraft is not a success at the box office. That’s just how things are.”
Some of the cut scenes have already been discussed. There is a “connective piece” as an Easter egg that links Duncan Jones’s various films together. The song “I am the One and Only” by Chesney Hawkes was used as an alarm sound in his film “Moon” and as a ringtone in “Source Code.” In Warcraft, it was supposed to be used as a medieval version by a bard – but it didn’t make it into the theatrical version.
But other scenes also fell victim to the cut. It was planned to show the attack of a troll tribe – presumably to add a bit more life and color to the world. However, the scene was too expensive and had too little to do with the main plot, which is why it was cut fairly early on.

Last night, the alleged manufacturer of the bot contacted us. It is Blizzard’s old friend Bossland, a bot company from Zwickau, with whom Blizzard has been in a constant conflict. They have been suing each other for 6 years, and it will soon go before the Federal Court.
The company’s CEO, Zwetan Letschew, told us: This is the program of his company. There is no other. However, the Chinese resellers were selling it quite expensively. They probably wanted to make a quick profit. And they exaggerated a bit: an aimbot is not included in the “product”.
Mein MMO says: It looks like we’re not only top-notch in beer, bread, and cars, but also in bots for Blizzard games.
