In the MMO shooter Destiny the Trials of Osiris have been canceled.
Yesterday we reported on a glitch that significantly jeopardizes the balance in the Crucible. Players can acquire “unlimited heavy ammo”. Some of you have already speculated in the comments about how Bungie would respond. Some said: “They will definitely cancel Osiris.” Those who said that were absolutely right.
Bungie addressed the issue yesterday in “This week at Bungie”. They said they are aware of the problem, are working on it, and players should not panic; they have resolved worse issues before. However, until the problem is solved, they are canceling the Trials of Osiris for this weekend.
There is fear of too many rockets.
The same goes for the Iron Banner. They had hinted that next week the May Iron Banner was supposed to come or could come. That is also temporarily on hold. Saladin is left with packed bags and will not be coming to the Tower. They want to contact Bungie when they know more.
Matchmaking and Banhammer
Also a topic in Bungie’s community brief: They want to tweak the Crucible matchmaking again to reduce player search times and decrease lag.
Furthermore, they have “improved their security system” and warn players to play “fair and nice”; otherwise, they will feel the banhammer with increased force.
In The Division, the “Special Report” for Update 1.2 just took place. We summarize the information shared by the developers.
On Tuesday it’s happening! Agents will be served fresh content as the May update “Conflict” is approaching. For this occasion, a “Special Report” was held in the form of a Twitch livestream where the developers talked about the new content. Here’s a compact summary:
Balance Changes in Update 1.2
Here’s the information regarding the balance changes:
Massive wants to be more generous: Loot dropped by enemiesshould be the best source for high-quality items.
In both PvE and PvP, there will be the best loot available.
There are items with item level 32.
Some activities are specialized for certain items: If you want to farm those items, you can play these tasks more frequently. However, all items will be available everywhere, in both PvE and PvP. They don’t want to force anyone to play a specific task. The chances for the items will vary.
Search and Destroy Missions and High Value Targets
To revitalize the open world, there are Search and Destroy Missions that you must complete to locate the High Value Targets.
Once all side missions and fights in an area are completed, you can access the board for these missions in the safehouses.
The missions are scattered all over the open world. There are many different ones. The developers see these as the optimal opportunity for agents to explore the impressive open world.
There you will find “Critical Areas” that you must clear of enemies. As a reward, you receive “Intel Tokens,” which you need to track the HVT.
You can start these missions once you reach level 30. They are well-suited for quickly increasing your Gear Score.
Once you have gathered enough information, you must go to the Operations Base in the Security Wing. There you will find the “Daily HTV Officer” and the “Weekly HTV Officer”. Here you invest your Intel Tokens to activate the HVT missions.
You only have a limited time to complete the missions. If you fail, you will need to spend Intel Tokens again. However, some missions are also available without further investment.
As a reward, the most challenging High Value Targets yield the best loot: High-end items with a value of 204 and Gear Sets with 240.
Changes in the Dark Zone
In the Dark Zone, the Supply Drops are being adjusted and “sealed containers” are being introduced.
The Supply Drops will be more lucrative but should also be harder to obtain.
From Dark Zone Bracket Level 30, the supply drops will contain at least one high-end item.
“Sealed Caches” drop randomly from all NPCs in the Dark Zone. Only named NPCs can drop high-end containers. These include Division Tech and DZ currency, as well as “good stuff”: high-end equipment and gear sets can be included.
These containers must first be extracted, then placed in storage and can only be opened afterwards.
In the Dark Zone, there will be storage at the checkpoints. Therefore, you do not need to leave the DZ to browse your storage.
Information about Loot Hijacking:
With the update, you can hijack the loot in the extraction zone by cutting the rope.
Once you press the button to cut the rope, you will be marked as rogue (for 19 seconds). However, it will take a few seconds until you have completely cut the rope. During this time, you are an easy target!
Once the rope is cut (you will be Rogue Rank 1 with a 90s timer), the items will be scattered from the extraction zone: they will not simply fall straight down. Anyone can pick them up now. You must quickly decide which drops to run for.
In general, this new feature aims to maintain the tension in the extraction zone. You need to stay vigilant and protect your loot.
Information about the New Incursion
The new incursion is called “Clear Sky” and is against the Rikers. It takes place at Columbus Circle.
Compared to “Falcon Lost,” you will fight outdoors: the weather can change, and you will play during the day or at night. However, there will be no “particularly severe” weather events, such as dense fog or heavy snowstorms.
You first need to devise a strategy to master the incursion. The more you play it, the faster and easier it will become to master. The agents themselves set the pace of this incursion, which is not dictated in any way.
The developers recommend that squad members specialize. In other words, they should cater to various builds, such as tank or supporter.
The Rikers will act differently than the LMB in “Falcon Lost.”
The developers have also put effort into the design: you should feel the brutality of the Rikers everywhere. Dead bodies are hanging upside down from ropes.
The incursion begins as you approach Columbus Circle. You then need to use “Explosives Packs” to break through a Riker blockade and clear the area. After that, a checkpoint will follow.
The Challenge Mode for the incursion will not be available until a week later.
Information about the New Gear Sets
Four new gear sets are coming to The Division. Each will favor a specific playstyle.
Final Measure: This set is designed for tanks and specializes in grenades.
Hunter’s Faith: This is a sniper set designed for kills from a long distance. Depending on the distance to the target, your armor is increased on hits. This value can exceed the new maximum armor value of 75%!
Lone Star: The set for shotguns. Weapons are automatically reloaded when you put them away and then equip them again. This particularly benefits weapon types with long reload times.
Predator’s Mark: This set is designed for assault rifles: when you fire 10 shots at the same target, you inflict bleeding wounds.

In Final Fantasy XIV, with the upcoming Patch 3.3, there will be a new system for equipment sets and two new dungeons. The developers have released a few teaser images of their contents.
Final Fantasy XIV will receive new content in the upcoming Patch 3.3, along with the new main scenario featuring the two dungeons Sohr Khai and the revamped hard version of the Shipbreaker Isle, as well as additional tough group instances. But what exactly can we expect there? The developers at Square Enix have taken the players’ feelings into account and teased both dungeons in small images. Among other things, we see:
A ride on a wyvern
A giant moogle as a boss?
A bizarre tentacle creature as a pet?
What is that?!?
Additionally, the new patch offers the long-awaited new set system, where the game will automatically equip the optimal gear when you change classes. Gone are the days when you had to awkwardly gather the optimal gear in your inventory with each switch.
The heroine is happy! Finally, she can change her class and equip the appropriate gear without much hassle.

A strange success was achieved in the beta of Overwatch : The largest tower that players could build from themselves. Of course with D.Va.
12 D.Vas in explosive mood
When gamers want to test the limits of a game, it often results in quite amusing outcomes. The players of Squadron set themselves a special goal: They wanted to build the largest tower possible in Overwatch. The choice fell on D.Va, who is excellent for stacking characters as she can reach seemingly unreachable places with her boosters. Actually, it is also not possible to stand on allied characters or block their way – which is why friends and foes had to alternate in the tower.
This allowed the team to stack a total of 12 D.Vas on top of each other, which was only possible on the Lijang Tower map – all other maps had a height restriction of 10 or 11 mech robots.
After a short laser light show, where everyone activated their defense matrix, they decided on an explosive climax and triggered self-destruct 12 times. You can watch the colorful result in the video above.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there was a “raid ride” via Twitch livestream. You can watch a recording of it here.
Behind the world of Destiny are numerous design ideas and an extensive lore, which we will be pointed out by Bungie in the form of livestreams in May. This week, the developers talked about the King’s Fall raid and revealed a lot of background information about it.
Oryx awaits you
While a fireteam tackled the raid in normal mode, the developers commented on the events live. They have put a lot of thought into the design of the raid and filled it with many details and lore.
The Dreadnaught is supposed to represent a place where the Hive live. Therefore, each location has specific functions that reflect the culture of the Hive. The architecture in this ship is inspired by the Middle Ages, by grand cathedrals and basilicas.
At the beginning of the raid, you must open the portal in Oryx’s courtyard before the raid actually starts. With this task, we knock on Oryx’s door and let him know we are coming. This has to do with the culture of the Hive:
The hierarchy of the Hive is determined solely by strength: The most powerful creature of the Hive stands at the top of the hierarchy, in this case it is Oryx. If others want to take the throne, they must challenge the head. For instance, Alak-Hul, the “Darkblade” once did so. We already know it did not end well for him. He had to reside in the Cell of the Forsaken Sun from then on – until we came along and put an end to him.
In the King’s Fall raid, Oryx also awaits us as challengers. However, he assumes that he will eliminate us and remain the victor.
The design idea behind the initial phase is not particularly surprising: The Guardians should warm up for the upcoming dangers, which is why Oryx’s courtyard is not too challenging, yet still demands teamwork from the players.
Thus, the developers talk about all stations in the raid and always explain what they were thinking. If you are passionately interested in the lore and design of Destiny, you now have the chance to watch the complete “raid ride” in moving pictures.
Here we have a recording of the livestream for you:

Today evening, a “Special Report” will take place on Twitch for The Division, where the developers will talk about the upcoming May update.
If you have no other plans this evening, you can mark 7 PM in your schedule: Then the “Special Report” for the Conflict update in The Division will take place. In a Twitch livestream, the developers will discuss the new upcoming content and the changes we can expect with “Conflict”.

Already during the April Update 1.1, a “Special Report” took place, where Massive presented the first Incursion “Falcon Lost” and the remaining content. It seems that the responsible parties are sticking to this approach and are informing the agents about most of the changes in advance.
We will report on the most important information from the stream shortly after.
Update: In this article, we have summarized the information from the livestream:
Actually, I wanted to mostly stay out of the Beta of Legion, but at some point, I gave in to the urge. And what can I say? I was not disappointed. Legion has some aspects that I really liked at first glance, making the game more vibrant and interesting. Many of these things are just small details, but I want to introduce them to you because they make World of Warcraft a better game from my perspective.
Talents with Exciting Effects
I was really impressed by a look at the talents in Legion because Blizzard is taking some interesting approaches. The best example of this is the talent Surrender to Madness. The Shadow Priest gets an ability that grants him a powerful buff for 3 minutes. All spells and abilities generate 200% more Insanity, and he can move while casting. That sounds like a simple, powerful buff, doesn’t it?
Tentacles never hurt. Old, Japanese wisdom.
The catch is: if you leave Voidform during the effect’s duration or if the 3 minutes run out, the priest dies. This cannot be prevented. As soon as the spell is activated, you sign your own death sentence. This is, of course, extremely useful if you want to deal a lot of damage in a short time, but it also guarantees death. I think it’s brilliant to incorporate such a mechanic. It almost reminds me of “Divine Intervention” from Classic – does anyone still remember that?
Where Do All the Voices Come From?
Another detail that quickly becomes obvious while questing is the numerous comments made by NPCs. Quite often, the minions of the Burning Legion yell at me – and that has voice acting. Overall, there seems to be a lot more voiced text than in Warlords of Draenor or the previous expansions. All enemy types I have come across (that can speak) have occasionally shouted their hatred at me. This is already standard in many games, but in WoW, it is a small innovation that makes the world feel a bit more alive for me.
The ruins of old night elf cities are quite atmospheric.
I can’t, of course, judge whether the lines will become annoying and repetitive after several weeks – but I really liked them.
Lore and Atmosphere
Warning, the following paragraph contains some spoilers about the story of Legion. If you don’t want to be spoiled, you should click away quickly.
Although the introductory event on the Broken Isles is currently mercilessly buggy (NPCs are running all over the place, sounds are playing incorrectly, etc.), I got a serious goosebumps when looking at the Burning Legion. The coolest part is definitely the finale of the intro, where you face pretty much all the demons you have ever encountered in Warcraft. Familiar faces like the Dreadlords from Warcraft 3 can be found there, as well as younger “friends” from Burning Crusade or Warlords of Draenor.
It may be a matter of personal taste, but Blizzard picks up exactly the story threads that interest me immensely. What happens to the dragonflights that lost their power in Cataclysm? What exactly happened to the night elves in the War of the Ancients? What are Queen Azshara’s plans? The last question has been haunting me for years, and the more I was able to encounter her in the new areas, the more exciting it was.
The former queen of the night elves finally appears again – and she has plans.
I have only noticed these things in the starting area, Dalaran, and a small part of Azsuna so far, and I can hardly stop being amazed, as at least Azsuna sets new standards in detail richness and atmosphere (for WoW). However, this also revealed to me that my PC can hardly cope with the expansion – I had to significantly lower the graphics settings.

After the first two stress tests of the Early Access MOBA Paragon, Epic Games reviews the situation, provides an outlook on upcoming changes, and announces the next Open Beta weekend.
2 months and 2 stress tests later
Paragon, the third-person MOBA by developer Epic Games, has been in Early Access for two months now. Quite a bit has happened during this time. Three new heroes have been sent into battle for Agora, various maps have been added, movement speed has been increased, and countless bugs have been fixed.
In addition, they continue to work on balancing the characters and maps, trying to provide players with helpful resources to ensure a positive (game) environment, and preparing a draft mode that will represent a first step toward ranked play.
This is what the draft mode might look like
Are you playing already, or are you still waiting?
After the two stress test weekends that have already taken place, they are putting the first insights into practice. These primarily concern player searching. While the number of PvP matches considered fair by the developer has increased, achieving this required an increase in the average waiting time by 1 minute.
It also turned out that the least waiting time has to be accepted when playing as a full team, meaning with five players. However, if you only enter the player search as a duo, you will have to wait significantly longer before you can jump into battle. I could sing you a song about that…
However, Epic Games vows to improve and explains the sometimes long waiting times due to the not yet final system and the time of day, when fewer players are generally found on the servers during the Early Access phase. Furthermore, the mentioned draft mode is expected to solve some of the player search problems.
“Open Beta” weekend
For those who are not discouraged by this and want to give the game a chance in this early phase, or would like to test it just to support the development, you have time from Thursday, May 26, to Monday, May 30.
Then, the Early Access gates will be opened again for all interested parties on PC and PlayStation 4. All you have to do is register on Paragon.com by May 25 to get a picture of Agora and the 16 previous heroes.
And to ensure that you are not too discouraged, here is a small overview of the average waiting times from the two previous stress tests on the right.

Battleborn had a solid start and exceeded the initial sales figures of Borderlands back in the day. Nevertheless, the publisher Take Two Interactive remains skeptical about whether the hero shooter will ultimately become a hit like Borderlands.
Battleborn is the new prestige project from Gearbox and has cost the company more so far than the two Borderlands titles combined. Therefore, the hero shooter, in which 25 quirky heroes fight for the fate of the last star in the universe, should also become a hit like the iconic Borderlands titles.
“The initial results are really promising, but we are still at the beginning. The game has been well received, customers like it, many players are online, and they really love the gameplay. But I wouldn’t necessarily expect the success rate of Battleborn to be exactly the same as that of Borderlands. We just don’t have the necessary information at this stage.”
Borderlands meets Battleborn
After all, the old Borderlands sold “only” 2 million copies in the first two months, but a total of up to 8 million versions of the shooter were sold. So Battleborn has a lot to catch up on.
The Season Pass includes five secret DLCs that Gearbox claims will reference Borderlands.
But Gearbox still has a trick or two up its sleeve. With the Season Pass, several new DLC contents will come to the hero shooter, and at this year’s PAX East, the development studio announced that there will be clear references to Borderlands in the new DLCs. In the end, it might even turn out that Battleborn takes place in the same universe as Borderlands!
What do you think of Battleborn so far? Better than Borderlands or do you think the two games have nothing to do with each other? Or are you even afraid that a potential failure of Battleborn could ruin the budget for the next Borderlands? Let us know in the comments!
According to Wilson, Microsoft and Sony secure such co-marketing deals to generate “excessive awareness around the game in connection with their own console.” In reality, however, that is not the case. The CEO explains:
But what we have seen – and we have seen the analyses on this – is: If you’re a PlayStation player, you do not reject the [game] simply because it is presented by a potential console partner. You know very well that it is also available on your console. And what we find out is just a multiplier effect of greater attention in the market.
Battlefield 1 is set to release on October 21st for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. With an “EA/Origin Access” membership, you can start with the Deluxe Edition already on October 18th.
EA has arranged a “co-marketing deal” for the upcoming shooter Battlefield 1 with Microsoft’s Xbox One. This is not expected to affect sales on the PS4.
PlayStation 4 or Xbox One? Even before the launch of both next-gen consoles in 2013, the competition for the throne in the console market reignited. Sony’s console has significantly the lead in this generation’s console war; however, a promising shooter will uphold the Xbox banner this year: Battlefield 1 has secured a “co-marketing deal” with Xbox One.
PS4 users should not have issues with the Xbox focus of Battlefield 1
Electronic Arts was recently asked during an investor day whether they are concerned about sales figures due to this Xbox focus. However, CEO Andrew Wilson expressed no concerns. Battlefield 1 is intended for PlayStation just as much as for Xbox and PC.
Such arrangements are quite common in the gaming sector: Sony has deals with Call of Duty or Destiny, while Microsoft promoted Fallout 4 alongside Bethesda.
The respective consoles want to be closest to the biggest and best games in this industry, Wilson adds. He further comments:
Typically, we see that this only fosters attention. It helps attention regardless of whether you’re a PC player, an Xbox player, or a PlayStation player.

ARK released an update with the mod “The Center” – the developers of the mod were generously compensated.
The Center: Larger than the original game world
The latest patch of ARK: Survival Evolved has provided the game with its largest update to date. From now on, the mod “The Center” is a permanent part of the game. Originally developed by a community member, the developers found it so good that it has now become part of the base game.
Along with the new map, which is significantly larger than the original ARK game world, numerous new servers have also been opened exclusively running “The Center” and can accommodate up to 100 players each. Anyone hosting their own server can also easily switch between the two maps.

Also interesting: If Studio Wildcard is convinced by a mod, they offer the creators money to incorporate it into the game. In the case of “The Center,” that was “multiple months’ salary of what a creator would normally earn.” So anyone who considers themselves particularly creative and persistent and wants to present their modification to the 6 million players should diligently start working and let their creativity flow. It could pay off.
By the way, another mod will become a permanent part of the game in July, as “Primitive+” is planned to be implemented then.
The next major patch is scheduled for May 30, which will include filling the ruins of ARK with the recordings of former survivors so that players can learn the background story.
The MMORPG Riders of Icarus (Icarus Online) presents its mounts in a new trailer.
If you’ve always wanted to ride on flying unicorns, dragons, and lions, you should check out the new trailer for Riders of Icarus. It features a ton of exotic creatures that we can tame and ride, including flying mounts that allow for thrilling aerial battles.
We have embedded the trailer here for you. If you want to try out Riders of Icarus yourself, we have good news. The open beta of the MMORPG starts on June 6, and through the official site of Riders of Icarus, you can register for the beta phase for free.

There is new information about the upcoming Update 1.2 “Conflict” in The Division.
In today’s State of the Game, Community Developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau discussed some changes that will be implemented with Update 1.2 in The Division.
More storage is yet to come
According to Banchereau, the team is currently working on expanded storage options. An increased storage for agents brings some problems that need to be resolved first. Server aspects and database aspects must be considered.
Because: The more items agents have in storage, the more traffic there is on the server. To avoid server overloads, developers must take additional precautions. Changes will only be made after Update 1.2. Until then, the storage size remains as it is.
A change regarding storage will come with the May update: So that you don’t always have to leave the Dark Zone to browse your storage, it will now also be available within the PvP area.
Weekly missions will be rescheduled
A change in the upcoming update concerns “Operation ISAC”, the weekly missions. These will now refresh every Thursday. The video that Ubisoft releases alongside these tasks will also be published on Thursdays.
Furthermore, the rewards will change: Previously, there were 30 Phoenix Credits, with which many agents were dissatisfied. In the future, there will be exclusive cosmetic items as a prize. Details are not yet known.More information about Update 1.2:
At the moment when you cut the rope of the heli in the Dark Zone, you will be marked as rogue. This means you become an easy target for other agents. You must carefully consider whether you want to take the loot.
The supply drops will be harder to snatch: Previously, agents could simply slip by enemies with individual skills and grab the supply drops. This is expected to change with the update.
The damage of sniper and shotgun NPCs at level 34 will be adjusted. Their current damage output is apparently too high, which makes the tank stats not pay off as Massive intends.
Numerous smaller adjustments will take place. For example, the “rag picking” will be revised.
Additionally, Banchereau reports that a wave of permabans has been issued. Some cheaters who returned after a 14-day ban and continued to cheat were permanently banned.
A glitch has been discovered in Destiny that allows Guardians to generate a lot of special and heavy ammunition. This leads to a significant imbalance in the Crucible.
A new glitch has appeared in the reddit forum that disrupts the balance in PvE and PvP considerably. It allows Guardians to “summon” infinite ammunition for heavy and special weapons. However, certain criteria must be met for this glitch to occur.
Glitch allows infinite special and heavy ammo in Destiny
Key to this glitch are the weapon perks Cocoon and Clown Cartridge:
Cocoon: If this weapon is briefly stowed, it automatically recharges from reserves. You can find this perk on the weapons from the King’s Fall raid.
Clown Cartridge: When reloading this weapon, you have a chance of a magazine that is larger than normal. The chance is said to be 25%. The bullets do not come from your ammo reserve; they appear from “nowhere”. This perk is mainly found on sniper rifles and rocket launchers.
By switching between a weapon with Cocoon and another with Clown Cartridge, the Cocoon perk apparently triggers the effect of the Clown Cartridge: You generate ammunition from “nowhere”. If this process is repeated, you gradually collect ammo for the weapons.
Several screenshots can be found online showing snipers or rocket launchers with absurd ammunition values:
According to user reports, this glitch works not only in PvE but also in PvP. This gives glitchers extremely unfair advantages, as they can create heavy ammunition right from the start. Some Guardians already consider the Crucible completely ruined.
Bungie, however, has already caught wind of this: As Community Manager Cozmo states, the team is aware of the problem and is currently investigating it.
We can therefore expect that this glitch will be fixed in the near future and the balance, especially in PvP, will be restored.

Meanwhile, numerous sources suggest that the Playstation 4K, PS4.5 or PS4 NEO will be released: Apparently, Sony is working in secret on a new console. We summarize what the sources have revealed so far about the new Playstation.
What is the PS4 NEO?
The PS4 NEO will not usher in a new console generation: It is not expected to be the Playstation 5. It will merely be an upgraded Playstation 4.
The current facts regarding the new Playstation are as follows: The PS4 NEO will come with more CPU clock speed, increased memory bandwidth, and a significantly improved graphics unit. It is expected to make a major leap in performance. Many sources report that this will benefit Playstation VR and 4K, allowing Sony to remain competitive in these markets.
This step by Sony – if it indeed happens – will be a first in the history of Playstation. Until now, their home consoles of a generation have become smaller, cheaper, and more energy-efficient over the years, but not more powerful.
Given the rapid technological advancement of today’s times, this approach by Sony would not be surprising. In the booming smartphone market, models are replaced much faster than one can blink.
Will there be exclusive games for PS4 NEO?
Many Playstation fans are uncertain and wonder if the new console will create a two-tier society among PS4 users. Will players be forced to purchase the PS4 NEO?
The rumors say: No. All future games are expected to run on PS4 and PS4 NEO. The new console will only provide a few performance upgrades. Patches are likely to be available for the new hardware to enhance the quality of the gaming experience.
When is the release date of the PS4 NEO?
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the Playstation NEO will be released before the launch of the Playstation VR: Sony’s virtual reality is set to start in October 2016.
This rumor is also supported by a French company, Innelec Multimedia: According to a financial report from the company, the “Neo 4K” will be an evolution of the PS4 console, providing new features and will appear in the first half of its fiscal year. The fiscal half-year starts in April and ends on September 30. If the NEO appears in September, it would be available just in time before the Playstation VR.
At this point, however, a note that all information mentioned here is not officially confirmed. Nevertheless, they are based on numerous diverse sources, which minimize any doubts about the existence of the upcoming console.
Official announcements and information are expected at Sony’s press conference at E3 in June. It will also be exciting for many users to see how much the Playstation NEO will cost.
If the new console comes: Will you get it?

TERA introduces flying and releases a lot of details about how it will work.
Update:The patch will be released in Europe on May 24 and comes with an additional free character slot and the mount Majestic Snowwave for all players. To claim the bonuses, one must log into the game at least once between May 20 and May 31.
Flying only temporarily possible
Under the auspices of En Masse, TERA released the latest patch the day before yesterday (May 17), which alongside the new class Ninja and some dungeons also brought flying into the world. The European publisher Gameforge is taking a bit longer with the release but has already published some information about the flying mounts.
Unlike many other games, the flying mounts can only fly at certain locations that are unlocked for this feature. With the update, this will initially include the city of Velika, the island of twilight, and Val Oriyn (northern Arun). It is also important that the animals cannot stay in the air forever, as flying is exhausting, so one should make sure that the flying endurance does not drop to zero when one is high up in the air.
The first flying mount is obtained in the form of a chestnut stallion for completing a quest. Additional mounts can be found in the new dungeons at level 65, but one needs a lot of luck and endurance for that, as this task involves quite a bit of farming, which could take some time.
Besides that, there are also some animals, such as the Pegasi, available for purchase in the TERA shop.
A specific date for the patch in Europe will be announced by Gameforge during the day; we will then update this post. To reduce the waiting time, internal processes have been optimized:
To ensure the best possible quality and an earlier release date, we have improved our internal translation processes for German and French. While all updates were previously translated from English, the upcoming update was translated directly from Korean for the first time.
For more news and articles related to the MMORPG, you can find them on our TERA game page.

The rewards and requirements in World of Warcraft for watching the Warcraft movie are set. Find out here where you can secure bonuses.
Transmogification for Everyone, WoW Only for Cinemaxx Customers
Next Thursday (May 26) the long-awaited movie “Warcraft: The Beginning” will be released in theaters and retells the story of the first conflict between Orcs and Humans in Azeroth. To celebrate this appropriately, there is a small promotional event in World of Warcraft where players can snag some particularly stylish equipment. All players who log in between May 25, 2016 and August 1, 2016 will receive a transmogification set that fits their faction.
Horde players can get the staff of Gul’dan and an axe styled after the Orc Durotan, while Alliance followers must settle for a sword and shield that presents the Lion of Stormwind.
If you haven’t yet dived into World of Warcraft or simply want to create a second account, you should ideally watch the movie (in Germany) in a Cinemaxx cinema. There, all viewers will receive a digital standard version of World of Warcraft, which now also includes Warlords of Draenor. However, it is noted that the supply is limited (although no one really knows how “digital versions” can be limited) and is only valid from May 26 to June 3.
Austrians and Swiss, on the other hand, seem to be left out, as there are no partner cinemas supporting this offer according to information on the battle.net site.
Also, keep in mind that with Legion, the wardrobe will be introduced, and the skins for transmogification will then be available account-wide. However, it is questionable whether the restriction for Horde and Alliance will be lifted.

During the server downtime, no game changes will be made. The developers are tinkering a bit in the background with the servers and probably preparing everything for the upcoming update 1.2. This will be released on May 24 and brings a variety of new features to The Division.
This morning, the State of the Game will take place again, the regular status report from Massive. We expect that there will be new information about the May update “Conflict”.
For more information about the content of update 1.2 “Conflict”, visit The Division.
The Game Director Petter Mannerfelt has answered some questions about the upcoming May update. He talks about “High Value Targets”, “Sealed Caches”, and the new incursion “Clear Sky”.
Track down and eliminate “High Value Targets” in The Division
High Value Targets are dangerous faction leaders. They pose a threat to society and must therefore be stopped by you. First, however, you need to locate them. Complete Search and Destroy missions to gather enough information on the whereabouts of the targets.
You will receive the “Search and Destroy Missions” in the safehouses of the open world as soon as you have completed all side missions and fights in the respective area.
According to Mannerfelt, there will be daily and weekly High Value Targets. There will be an “HVT Officer” in the Operations Base who will provide you with a list of targets. You can see their level, the recommended gear score, the rewards, and the required target information. You need to collect the latter to start the missions.
Once you begin an HVT mission, you must eliminate the target within a certain time frame. With “High-Risk Targets“, you only have one attempt to successfully complete the mission.
Some targets are meant to be taken down only with a strike team.
What do “Sealed Caches” contain?
The Conflict update introduces “Sealed Caches”, which are sealed containers. These can be dropped in the Dark Zone by named enemies and must be extracted as they are contaminated.
The Sealed Caches contain “mystery items“: These include gear, Division Tech, and Dark Zone currency.

In “Clear Sky”, the Rikers have taken control of an abandoned air defense facility from the LMB and now dominate the entire airspace over Manhattan. This also means they can seize all supply shipments. This cannot be allowed by the Division agents.
This incursion is also designed for four agents, but according to the game director, one to three players can also engage in this activity. The enemies will be scaled.
On “Hard”, every time you complete Clear Sky, you receive a high-end item with a gear score of 204 and set parts with a value of 214. Upon completing it for the first time each week, you receive double the rewards. The same applies in “Challenge Mode”: only the set parts have a value of 240.
After the first encounter with enemies, there will be a checkpoint.
What do you think of the new features that update 1.2 will bring to The Division?
Lifeless is another zombie survival game in the style of H1Z1, which we can now purchase in Early Access. Read here what to expect in Lifeless.
Zombies and no end in sight. After numerous zombie games like H1Z1 or Dying Light, another zombie survival title tackles the theme: Lifeless. The zombie game from Green Man Loaded takes place ten years after the zombie apocalypse, which once again claimed a large part of the world. And as is customary in “zombie apocalypses”, survivors fight amongst themselves to the blood over scarce resources.
This time, the two rival factions are the brave civilian militia of the “Nova Guard” and the militant gun nuts from the “Spartan Phallanx”. The whole zombie fun takes place this time on the coasts and in the dark forests of the US state of Maine. There, we need to gather resources, build weapons, and above all, survive. Lifeless is currently available as an Early Access version for 17.99 Euros on the manufacturer’s shop page.
