Tonight, a livestream titled “Raid” will take place for the MMO shooter Destiny. You can watch it here with us.
At 8 PM tonight, Bungie will take us on a raid safari. All guardians are invited to peek over the shoulder of a fireteam tackling the challenges of the King’s Fall raid via Twitch livestream. Meanwhile, two experts will chat about all the encounters guardians face on the way to Oryx. We can expect plenty of background information.
King’s Fall “Carpool” via Livestream
The expert panel includes Brendan Thorne and Jill Scharr: Thorne is a designer at Bungie and represents the team that created the Oryx raid. Author and lore expert Scharr speaks on behalf of the team that was responsible for the lore behind it.
The fireteam responsible for the footage during the stream will be led by Community Manager Cozmo. According to Bungie, the team is completed by some of the “best raiders”: Chase Christian, Travis Dorsey, Dylan Gafner, Brandon Bjarnason, and Dave Petty. Some of them tested this activity thoroughly before it was made available to the guardians.
You can watch the Twitch livestream here:

Anyone interested in the backgrounds and design ideas of Destiny should find it worthwhile to take a look at the stream.
For The Elder Scrolls Online, the upcoming DLC Dark Brotherhood will not only bring the popular Assassin’s Guild but also some useful upgrades for the Group Finder.
You know the situation! You’re in a raid and after the umpteenth attempt, the cursed boss should finally go down. Everyone rushes in, a battle ensues, and soon all players are lying in the dust. All players? Not at all, the healer is still alive because he hasn’t even gone in, but is just now returning from the bathroom and innocently asking in Teamspeak, “Hey, why are you all dead?”
Let’s see who can pass the Ready Check here.
An annoying situation that can be easily avoided if the MMO in question offers a so-called “Ready Check,” compelling each player to declare themselves ready before the boss fight begins. And exactly such a feature will be added to The Elder Scrolls Online with the upcoming Assassin DLC Dark Brotherhood.
But that’s not all; if the mentioned healer not only misses the fight but also fails to keep the tank alive and then gets cheeky, we can kick such unwanted group members out of the group by majority decision with the upcoming Group Finder features.
“Group hoppers,” who jump from group to group, or “leavers,” will find their hobby spoiled with a 15-minute lockout timer after leaving a group. During that time, they cannot join a new group. However, the lockout does not apply when the group has achieved its goal.
First, the main building in the castle must be upgraded to level 3 before one can create a “Crimson Watch Tribute” package for 1000 Lord’s Coins, which only has a 2-hour lifespan. Now comes the first crucial point: The package must be delivered to Andre in the Golden Ruins. However, all players on the server will be notified that a group is attempting to deliver such a package – so be prepared for strong resistance from rival guilds and nations!
If the delivery succeeds, a new quest line begins, where certain bosses must be defeated, followed by the task of gathering plenty of crafting materials to showcase the necessary resources for a declaration of independence. Only then will the player receive a “Declaration of Independence,” which he must read in the throne room while at least 50 guild members are present and using the /vow emote. If successful, a cutscene plays and a new ruler is born!
Nations offer players many opportunities, but they also create a default enmity with other factions in the game, which must be improved through political ties.
The Wyvern – Powerful Mount of the Ruler
The most powerful prestige object of a nation is a Wyvern that the ruler can breed. However, this comes with considerable effort, as raising a Wyvern takes a full month even for the fastest guilds. After a successful breeding, the Wyvern is available for 21 days and can be used by the ruler as a mount and flown into battle (after all, it can breathe fire). However, the Wyvern is also very conspicuous and can be killed – it is powerful, but it also poses a significant risk to bring it along, just to lose it.
Furthermore, the Wyvern cannot be “inherited” from one ruler to the next – a new ruler must start from scratch and endure the process of raising one themselves.

Guild Wars 2 received a new update and is now available as a 64-bit version, provided your system supports it. Additionally, Season 3 has started in PvP and there are new customization options for your heroes.
The current May update for Guild Wars 2 brings the long-awaited 64-bit client for Arenanet’s Buy2Play MMO. The best part: You don’t need to go through the hassle of uninstalling the game or fiddling around in the options. Instead, the game will automatically update to the 64-bit version if your hardware and system are compatible.
Furthermore, Season 3 of PvP is here, which among other things has revised matchmaking. The new system will be a hybrid of the matchmaking from Season 1 and Season 2, and hopefully will provide the fairest solution for all players.
If you value the appearance of your hero, you can now preview the hairstyles and faces available in the cash shop with a special NPC in Lion’s Arch before buying. The complete patch notes for the update can be found in the official Guild Wars 2 forum.
In a new video, the YouTuber Arekkz Gaming compares the submachine guns Tactical AUG A3P and First Wave Vector 45 ACP, discussing which of them is the “best” in The Division. Both SMGs are very popular in the community and are essential for every agent’s arsenal. But what are the similarities and – most importantly – the differences between the two weapons?
Tactical AUG A3P vs. First Wave Vector 45 ACP in The Division
Currently, you can purchase a blueprint for the Vector 45 ACP of the First Wave at the Dark Zone weapon vendor for a value of 204. For both SMGs, it is advisable to buy the respective blueprints as soon as they are available. This allows you to craft them until the desired talents appear.In terms of base damage, both submachine guns are equal: The damage ranges for your crafted SMGs will be completely identical. For example, the damage in Arekkz’s video will range from 11289 to 12452.
Differences can be found in the other values: The Vector has a higher fire rate of 750 (AUG: 725), but a lower magazine size of 20 (AUG: 25). So you have the choice between higher fire rate/lower magazine size and lower fire rate/higher magazine size.
Apart from the slightly shorter reload time of the Vector (2.3 to 2.5s), the AUG has advantages: The optimal range of the AUG is increased by 2m, the stability is somewhat better, and the precision is even significantly stronger. Especially at ranges beyond 20 meters, the AUG is therefore superior to the Vector.
In the following video, Arekkz shows you how both submachine guns perform at the shooting range:

Ultimately, the YouTuber concludes that he would always recommend an AUG. With the right mods, you can squeeze out up to 51 shots from it, while from the Vector a maximum of 41. As an overall package, the AUG takes the lead.
However, the Vector is by no means a bad weapon. You can also successfully tackle the challenges in The Division with it. Arekkz himself would often use the Vector because he prefers its design and sound over the AUG.
With both submachine guns, you can’t go wrong if you acquire their blueprints.
The MMORPG Black Desert is expanding: Valencia is coming.
On June 1, the next major patch for Black Desert will be released: the first part of Valencia arrives. The update enlarges the world by almost a third and brings hundreds of new quests, according to a press release. The main story will also be continued.
In the desert of Valencia, players encounter life-threatening conditions. During the day, it is scorching hot and the heroes need to regularly supply themselves with water. At night, it cools down and they need protection against the cold. Sandstorms can also harm players if they don’t find shelter from them. They also obscure the mini-map.
Horses or carriages hardly get far in the sand, so one should rather rely on camels. These will be newly added.
Also newly coming are “Siege Elephants“, which will become important on June 15, when the siege battles begin as a two-week test run.
Valencia also brings new weapons, armor, and accessories. The items can be upgraded to +20.
Heroes of the Storm is getting a hero update. As announced, the adorable gnome dragon Chromie is here to shake things up in the Nexus with powerful damage spells.
Finally, she has arrived! Chromie, the dragon in the cute gnome form, has come to the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm to take a closer look at the strange space-time anomalies. And of course, to take down a few heroes, because fun is a must.
On the release of the little two-legged artillery platform, there’s also an extremely funny trailer that we don’t want to withhold from you.
Moreover, during our visit to Blizzard, we already played Chromie and summarized our experiences under the previous link. We will also create a detailed guide on how to play Chromie, as soon as we have enough playtime with the dragon gnome.
What do you think of Chromie? Will you get her or do you already have her? Is she too strong and needs to be nerfed or is she just right as she is? Write it in the comments!

Blade and Soul, the Asia MMO from NCSoft, is getting another small expansion. This time, with the “Day of Vengeance,” it might finally be curtains for the assassin Jinsoyun. But alongside such bloodthirsty content, there are also cute pets!
Crafting revenge plans while mischievously petting a white cat – that’s how you get revenge in style! With the new update for the Kung-Fu anime MMO Blade and Soul, our heroes can partake in such pleasures, as the new update “Day of Vengeance” offers both retribution and pets!
“Private Otter reporting for duty!” The command otter is an exclusive pet for us Europeans.
Day of Vengeance brings us a lot of new content, including the following features:
The 4th act of the epic anime story of Blade & Soul reaches its stunning climax as we finally face Jinsoyun in the final duel.
There are also three new dungeons: the “Split Nexus” (4 – 6 players), the “Altar of Divine Will” (6 players), and the “Ruins of Zaiwei” (24 players).
Instead of new floors in the Tower of Mushin, there’s now the “Tower of Infinity.” Here, we need to defeat a randomly selected AI opponent on each level within a time limit – all by ourselves!
The level cap will not be raised, but we can achieve the 15th Hongmoon level, which is still worth something.
The aforementioned pets are not just nice extras; if we feed these little rascals properly, they give us valuable buffs. For the Western version of Blade & Soul, there are even two exclusive pets: a cool otter in a commando style and an adorable griffon!
The update “Day of Vengeance” will be released on June 1, 2016. What do you think of the new features and the update pace of Blade & Soul? Let us know in the comments! If you’re curious about what previous updates have done for Blade & Soul since its release, you’ll find answers at the provided link.

The current expansion of World of Warcraft is now included in the standard game.
Warlords of Draenor now for free
The next expansion for World of Warcraft, Legion, won’t take long to arrive. At the end of August, the Burning Legion will attack, and Blizzard has now decided to include the current expansion, Warlords of Draenor, into the base game. Those who previously owned “only” the base game now have free access to Draenor and the game content up to level 100.
The same applies to new customers: If you decide to purchase the standard version of World of Warcraft for €14.99 in the battle.net shop now, you will also receive all addons up to and including Warlords of Draenor. If you haven’t dived into the content and the story surrounding the Iron Horde and Gul’dan yet, now is the right time to get back into the game.
The former Classic server Nostalrius team meets with the creators of World of Warcraft.
Discussions on Legacy Servers Begin Next Month
After Blizzard shut down the illegal classic World of Warcraft server Nostalrius a few weeks ago, there was a great outcry from the server’s community. A petition was quickly launched to urge Blizzard to officially offer real “Legacy” servers to provide a home for the fans of the original WoW. To discuss this matter further, Blizzard has invited the former operator team of Nostalrius to Irvine.
In the Nostalrius forum it says:
“As we announced previously, we are in contact with Blizzard. We are pleased to announce that a date for the meeting has been set. It will take place in early June at Blizzard’s headquarters in Irvine. For security reasons, we will not specify an exact date, but expect a report a few days after the meeting.”
Nostalrius, shortly before the server shut down.
Also Mark Kern, the former “head” of World of Warcraft, who took the side of the fans of the classic servers throughout the issue, has now received an appointment.
“I have my meeting regarding the Legacy servers with Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime next Thursday. Blizzard has agreed to accept the expression of the petition. While this is not a guarantee for a Legacy server, them listening is at least a very good sign.”
Previously, Kern had already released his own video and wrote this as an “open letter” to Blizzard, where he showed the expression of the petition – with more than 10,000 pages full of signatures, ideas, suggestions, and wishes from fans longing for a “classic” experience of the MMORPG.
Racist insults, sexism, harassment or other discrimination in the Twitch chat should soon be a thing of the past!
We reported last week on how the Twitch chat escalated during the Dreamhack Austin event and even the moderators had had enough. It was also clear in the comments on this article that many of you are fed up with the Twitch chat and often even hide it directly. Blizzard has also had enough of such chatting and is now planning a pilot project to combat insults.
Play Nice – Play Fair
Mike Morhaime, President of Blizzard, spoke in an interview with Polygon about the events of Dreamhack Austin: “We are extremely disappointed by the nasty, insulting phrases and words that some of the online viewers wrote in the Twitch chat. One principle of our company is “Play Nice; Play Fair” and that allows no room for racism, sexism, harassment or other discriminatory behavior in or outside of the gaming community.
In Austin, the situation in the chat escalated after Terrence Miller was able to win the Hearthstone tournament. Due to his skin color, there were insults in the chat.

To better manage this behavior at live events, Blizzard has now reached out to players, streamers, and moderators as well as partners like Twitch, Dreamhack, and others to work together towards a more positive future. Ultimately, they have started a pilot program that Twitch is now working on, which will help improve channel moderation and combat ban evasion.
Additionally, Blizzard’s eSports tournament partner guidelines will be updated, which will include stricter penalties. This is intended to provide a better chat experience around Blizzard’s content, says Mike Morhaime.
Other figures in the gaming industry and players must join in
It is still unclear what the pilot project will look like, but it will likely be an important step against negative behavior in online games and chats. “We believe that this will address the issues raised, but unfortunately only parts of these problems. For it to have a real effect, everyone must join in, as this is a problem for the entire industry,” Morhaime adds.
When cases like this go through the media, one can only hope that it prompts some people to think. One should simply be more positive and refrain from negative or insulting comments.

Is a huge update coming with patch 2.5 for Diablo 3? A Reddit user has made some astonishing discoveries during data mining!
“Data mining” involves taking a close look at specific game files and examining them closely. The Reddit user Yurlsi has done this with the current files for patch 2.4.1 and found interesting things that we will take a closer look at.
New Torment Levels in Diablo 3
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
Increasing the torment difficulty to level 16 may be a good move since it usually doesn’t take long in a season to reach (the currently highest) torment level 10 to comfortably handle Nephalem Rifts there. Torment 16 would correspond to around level 65 of a greater Nephalem Rift and might give the smaller rifts a bit more “bite” again.
Devil’s Hand in Diablo 3
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
According to Diablo Wiki, this is a game mode for the Reaper of Souls expansion of Diablo 3. It is a large quest event where you need to collect more than a dozen items from special monsters. Once you have found and combined these items into a hand, you receive special rewards such as random legendary items. This information comes solely from data mining and has not yet been officially confirmed by Blizzard.
New “Shield” Act Symbol in Diablo 3
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
It is difficult to interpret what the new act symbol in the form of a shield signifies. This could indicate an entirely new form of act that we have not encountered before. Perhaps it also relates to an expansion of Diablo 3 – but this is just speculation. Interestingly, there is also the “Buy a Hero Slot” button – there are many translated buttons from the Chinese microtransaction store. Perhaps the transactions will soon be available in other regions as well.
Different Types of Blood Shards and New Inventory Items in Diablo 3
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
These data are a bit older, but show different types of the popular blood shards that can be exchanged for items with Kadala. Perhaps these blood shards are related to the new act symbol or may be obtainable at a higher torment level.
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
There should also be new items that can be kept in the inventory. Notably, these include the new companions and wings that can be farmed in Diablo 3 since patch 2.4.1. You can find out how to obtain them in our Diablo 3 Pet Guide for patch 2.4.1 and our Diablo 3 Wings Guide for patch 2.4.1.
A wide selection of portrait frames in Diablo 3

Some of these portrait frames have already made their way into the game with patch 2.4.1 and are very popular *cough* Rainbow. But as you can see, Blizzard still has some more in store that you might be able to earn in the future.
The Talisman in Diablo 3
Source: Imgur – Yurlsi
This talisman has garnered attention in the past. It was supposed to activate spells that can be placed on the individual slots (originally these spells had a 1×1 size in the talisman). Similar to Diablo 2, this would allow you to add additional spells (attributes) to your character – however, these only work in the talisman and not (as in Diablo 2) in the inventory.
In this data mining, Yurlsi also found various lines hinting at possible purchase options: “BnetStoreBoosts – BloodShard, GoldFind, XPBoost” – we can therefore be very curious about what Diablo 3 has in store for us in the future. If these innovations we have presented here in the article are indeed implemented – which one are you most looking forward to?

In the MMO shooter Destiny , weapons master Banshee-44 is bringing new weapons for ordering, testing, and pickup on May 18th.
Banshee-44 has been bringing new weapons for ordering, testing, and pickup every week since Fall 2015. The “testing” is particularly important, as it allows you to earn reputation points with the weapons master and unlock quests, which lead to various exotic weapons.
This week’s field test weapons in Destiny
To test and gather reputation, you should take these five weapons for a spin:
With a fusion rifle from Omolon, you should take down Vex Minotaurs.
A hand cannon from Omolon aims to land precision shots.
An pulse rifle from Suros must be used against Vex.
A rocket launcher from Suros craves engagements in the Crucible.
Häkke provides a sniper rifle. It requires double kills.
These weapons can be ordered this week
This time for ordering, there is the auto rifle Arminius-D from Häkke. It fires quickly and was slightly nerfed with the patch in April. With maximum fire rate and minimal impact, it is one of the so-called “pea shooters“, which gained popularity due to their ability to take players out of the fight.
This Zarinaea-D, classified as a “mid” auto rifle, does not suffer from such nerf issues. However, it has not yet earned a real name.
The scout rifle Suros Dis-47 took ages to appear the first time Banshee had it. Since then, it has been sighted more frequently. With solid stats all around, it is a popular choice, especially for Guardians hoping for a fully automatic scout.
Also regarded as a strong scout is the Cocytus from Omolon. It can be ordered this week – maybe you’ll get a strong roll like last week, which came with triple and fireball.
The knockout in Banshee’s offer is the sniper rifle Uzume RR4. It could not penetrate the phalanx of “revive snipers” for months, but that has now changed. Perhaps there is a place for Uzume in the new meta.
Recommendation: You should definitely take both scouts. You can’t go wrong with them.
These weapons can be picked up this week with these rolls in Destiny
A Suros Dis-43 is available this week with full auto, perfect balance, and injection molding.
Also interesting: The pulse rifle Suros PDx-45 comes with the “Iron Saws” roll featuring balance adjustment, custom stock, and small caliber rifle.
The weapons that were available for order in the last week can be seen in this video with current rolls: Suros Dis-43. Lyudmila-D, Suros PDX-41, (custom stock, small caliber rifle, outlaw – strong roll), Suros Dis-43, JLB-42, Tamar-D.

In The Division, an agent demonstrates how to deal with traitors camping in safe zones.
In the Dark Zone, the PvP area of The Division, there is a safe room in every section. These are visited by agents for various reasons: to get ammunition, to acquire tasty items, to gather with their buddies, or just to seek protection. Those intentionally heading to a safe room prefer to avoid encounters with enemies.
Some unscrupulous agents want to exploit this to their advantage and ambush players seeking protection. As a supposed victim approaches, they are mercilessly attacked by the campers and robbed of their loot.
With this ruthless tactic, the traitors can fill their pockets with loot, DZ currency, and XP while the “victims” are left frustrated. This treacherous game was no longer tolerable for the YouTuber bassidable, who gave a hard time to a group of “safe room campers”. See for yourself:

What is particularly amusing about this video are the comments from the traitors, ranging from insults to cowardly whimpering for mercy. However, the YouTuber showed no mercy. He himself refers to his action as “DZ justice”.
What do you think of the video?

I wish you a nice Wednesday afternoon. Today, it’s not directly about gaming, but about software that is closely linked to gaming for many. We are talking about the voice program Skype, which was bought by Microsoft a few years ago. Now everything was supposed to get better and cooler! Haha – wishful thinking.
Basically, I am not one of those people who think that an “acquisition” necessarily has to be something bad, but in the case of Skype, I can only shake my head. For several months now, the software has integrated advertisements. Although I understand that something free has to be somehow financed (this is basically not different for us), the persistence and nature of the ads is really getting on my nerves.
If you believe that you can actually save anything with the settings in the screenshot, you don’t know Skype (or know it much better than Cortyn).
“Weight Loss Industry Shocked! Lose 10kg in 2 weeks if you NEVER eat THESE foods!” and “Do you also want to earn €1000 per day on the Internet?” are among the annoying, but still bearable things. Worse are ads with embedded sound that start even during a conference. This is only topped by advertisements that generate error messages or kick me out of the ongoing game to tell me: “Do you really want to leave this page?” – Hello? What page? I just want to talk! Keep your crap to yourself, Skype!
Hello. You are connected to the Skype Bug Service.
The bugs that come with each patch are just piling on. Skype eagerly overrides (at least for us) administrator rights and doesn’t even allow you to adjust the volume of your own microphone. You can take the check out of “Activate automatic microphone adjustment,” it doesn’t care at all. Especially nice when in the heat of the Overwatch battles the teammates are getting quieter and quieter. Before anyone complains that I have no technical expertise (which is probably true): Yes, these options are also disabled in the control panel and in the sound card driver. Other programs don’t have a problem with that either.
Not understanding anything in the heat of battle. Cortyn has fun with it. Well, almost.
I fondly remember ten years back when the chat program ICQ slowly went out of fashion and everyone switched to Skype because the quality was significantly better than TeamSpeak and chats could still be read long after – excellent for small groups and cliques. If a drinking game were made out of having to down a bottle for every annoying Skype bug, Krombacher could save all the rainforests in the world in 2 days.
Am I getting too worked up? Maybe. Am I just too dumb to use Skype correctly? Also possible, but then all my acquaintances in the friends list would be the same, which doesn’t speak well for the program’s performance. Even if change is something positive and stagnation means death, I wish Skype hadn’t moved so much.
Congrats, Microsoft. All users are just running to TeamSpeak and Discord, well done.

With Legion, World of Warcraft gets a variety of new mounts. We will tell you which means of transportation you can look forward to.
Spiders, Bats, and Rats – Legion has Crazy Mounts
Among the most prestigious items of every World of Warcraft expansion are the mounts that players can obtain in various ways. While not all mounts are implemented in the current beta of the “Legion” addon yet, clever people have already read the game data and found some clues through this datamining about which mounts will appear. With this article, we aim to give you a small overview of the new models that have already been discovered.
Two Moose – Dead and Alive
Already in Warlords of Draenor, there was a moose mount for defeating Archimonde, with Legion adding (at least) two variations. The Grove Defiler can be obtained by completing a meta achievement during raids, and the Spirit of Eche’ro is a reward for diligent archaeologists.
Bloodfang Widow – A Spider for High Earners
The Bloodfang Widow can be indulged in by all players who have some gold saved up. For 2,000,000 gold coins, it can be purchased from a rather crazy gnome. The price is not final yet, but Blizzard has already announced that it won’t be significantly changed.

Fathom Dweller – Tentacled Jellyfish for Deep Sea Divers
If you can’t get enough of tentacles, you will be happy with the Fathom Dweller. These mounts have actually been in the game files since Cataclysm, but with Legion, they will finally find their way into the hands of the players.
Llothien Prowler – What Does the Fox Say?
Animal lovers will surely be happy with the first rideable fox… once the source for the Llothien Prowler is revealed. So far, this is still a mystery, just like what it says.

Apart from the presented variants, there are also some new colorations of already known models. For example, Draenei get a new Elekk, Blood Elves get a new Hawkstrider, and Goblins get a new Trike. However, where and when these mounts appear is still uncertain.
According to some rumors, TERA could soon be coming to consoles. What’s the truth?
Job Openings at Bluehole
With its action-packed combat system, the MMORPG TERA is excellently suited for controller use – a feature that has long been implemented for the game. So what could be more obvious than bringing the game to consoles? This seems to be the thought that Bluehole now wants to put into action. As mmoculture reports, the developer has posted several job openings and is actively looking for developers to be able to offer the game in the future for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The job listing states:
“Although TERA has been on the market for 5 years already, the innovative combat system and beautiful graphics ensure that TERA is one of the best games in the PC MMORPG genre. (…) Bluehole’s efforts have been limited to PC for many years. But now Bluehole is rapidly expanding into the mobile, console, and even virtual reality market.”
However, how long such a port to consoles will take remains entirely uncertain. With a release date still this year, no one should have to expect it.
For more news and articles about the action MMORPG, you can find them on our TERA game page.

At EA, studio head Patrick Soderlund spoke about Star Wars Battlefront to investors. The point that still seems to be a concern is the decision to forgo a single-player campaign.
This was a conscious decision at the time, also to complete the game in time for the movie release. Battlefront also sold well, opened up new buyer segments, and was a success, but the lack of a campaign also drew a lot of criticism: Star Wars Battlefront currently stands at around 75 on Metacritic.
“I believe the team developed a really great game under the conditions we had. I would say the game has done very well for us and reached a different target audience than a traditional EA game. From that perspective, it is a success. Are we happy with the 75 rating? No. Is that something we want to address in the future? Definitely.”
Soderlund further mentioned that future shooters need to be deeper and wider to keep players engaged for a long time. He believes that for a game to become “truly great,” it is best to develop a campaign and multiplayer components. If you were to build something like that again, you would need to make a “course correction.”
Patch 6.10 for League of Legends is just around the corner, and with it, Taliyah is coming into the game!
The new patch for LoL brings fresh wind into the game again, as now you can finally play and try out the recently introduced hero Taliyah yourself – at least, as long as she isn’t banned, or someone else doesn’t select her first.
Taliyah Champion Spotlight for League of Legends
To show you how to play the hero, RiotGames provides a spotlight for each champion, showcasing and explaining their abilities.
This clearly shows that with her abilities, such as her ultimate, you can also annoy your own teammates (similar to Anivia’s wall).

I personally like Taliyah a lot, and I’m already looking forward to trying her out in a ranked game. Is this a champion for you too, or do you not like the style at all?
By the way: Did you know that some players found Taliyah not “sexy” enough?
The selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar is making great strides towards the final wipe and thus the live operation. However, there will be two more releases before that.
On May 26, Release 30 will be released, which will mainly focus on the story of the game. New areas will be introduced that can be explored during the quests, and the Courage quest line will be fully playable but not yet optimized. In addition, the balancing is being worked on, especially of the new combat system that was introduced with Release 29. Since this release, players must actively aim, and tab targeting has been abolished.
NPC companions for offline mode
With Release 30, the first NPC companion for offline mode will also be introduced. However, the companions will only be a type of speaking pets that assist in battle. One cannot influence their skill set nor manage their weapons and equipment. This may be introduced with Episode 2.
The NPC companions will help defeat bosses that can otherwise only be taken down in a group. In addition, each companion has a background story that can be learned throughout the game, and the NPCs will comment on many situations. With Release 30, the user interface will also be revised.
A huge dungeon is coming
Release 31 will be released on June 30. This will introduce the Halls of Artifice. It is a gigantic dungeon that consists of various areas where the hero must face trials and challenges. The dungeon is important for the story. Players will visit places like the Halls of Sadistic Pleasures or the Halls of Youth, which are beautiful locations with dangerous secrets. Release 31 is also supposed to improve the entry into the game.
With Release 32 at the end of July, the final wipe will take place. Then the game will reach a persistent status, and neither heroes, nor economy, nor houses will be deleted. This will take Shroud of the Avatar live – however, not all content will be included yet. Only at the end of the year will Episode 1 with the story, all quests and the basic framework of features be released. From then on, the online game will continue to be developed, introducing new story elements, quests, areas, and features. A total of five episodes are planned, which will tell a complete story.
