We present the high-end shotgun SASG-12 S – Black Market version at The Division. Is it worth buying?
Shotguns are currently not a favorite choice among most agents. Only occasionally do some players resort to the shotgun to pump enemies full of buckshot at close range. However, with the balance changes after the update 1.2 “Conflict”, the role of this weapon type could change drastically.
This week, the Dark Zone weapon dealer has a blueprint for the high-end SASG-12 S – Black Market version available, with a Gear Score of 204! If you are at least DZ rank 75 and have saved up some DZ currency, you can acquire this and happily start crafting. But is this shotgun even worth it?
https://youtu.be/r6gEsOQWKUw
This is what the SASG-12 S – Black Market version is good for in The Division
The SASG-12 S is a semi-automatic shotgun based on a Kalashnikov. It outperforms many other shotguns in several areas: fire rate, precision, and stability are increased. It boasts outstanding values in optimal range (27m!) and reload speed (2.7s).
For comparison: The shotgun Super 90 has a range of 9m and a reload speed of 5s. However, the SASG-12 S – Black Market version has disadvantages in terms of base damage.
These are the exact stats:
In discussions about the best shotgun in the game, the Super 90 (high damage, otherwise solid values) and the SASG-12 S – Black Market version are often mentioned. For the latter, reasons always include the enormous range, reload speed, and fire rate. With this weapon, you can keep your enemies under continuous fire.
When it comes to mods, a larger magazine is particularly recommended. This allows you to deal extreme amounts of damage in a short time. And even if you run out of ammo in the heat of battle, you can quickly resume fire thanks to the short reload time.
For these reasons, the SASG-12 S – Black Market version is especially recommended for agents who have previously been skeptical of shotguns and have little experience with them. The offensive play style at close range is not for everyone. If you prefer to act from the background, you can easily steer clear of shotguns.
For all agents who are struggling with their current shotgun or want to try out this weapon type: The blueprint of the SASG-12 S – Black Market version can be clearly recommended for purchase. Many agents report that it is a lot of fun to roam with it through post-apocalyptic Manhattan. However, you have to fork out 284020 Dark Zone currency for it.
What do you think of the SASG-12 S – Black Market version? Would you recommend buying it?

The current “prestige project” of NCsoft is a successor to Lineage: The game is called “Lineage Eternal” and is set to be released for PC as well as iOS. It was first introduced in 2011 with this trailer.

Analysts consider this to be the strategically most important title for NCsoft, making it central to the long-term future of the company.
Originally, Lineage Eternal was supposed to be released in 2016. However, the project has already gone through several delays, with the last update suggesting that a closed beta phase would begin “early 2016.” That has now been postponed as well. Currently, NCsoft expects to enter a closed beta phase in the 3rd quarter of 2016.
In this article, we took a closer look at Lineage Eternal and presented what we know about it – there is also more recent footage:
In the MMO shooter Destiny, a Guardian has recreated the Willbreaker swords. His weapon replicas come with “Special Effects”
Who among you remembers the moment when he held a sword for the first time in Destiny? Dozens of enemies around you, yearning for your Light – and you amidst them, alone with your sword in hand. And then it begins: you throw yourself into the fray with the sword and happily strike down opponents. This feeling of holding a sword from Destiny remains limited for most of us to the console experience. However, the cosplayer and prop maker Eric Newgard refuses to be confined by these limits and has taken it upon himself to recreate the Willbreaker swords.
Willbreaker Swords for the Living Room
Newgard now owns the Solar, Void, and Arc swords, which he brings to life in his cosplay. According to his own statements, he has crafted them over the past few months from various materials. You can view the related images by clicking through the imgur image series.

To make the Willbreaker swords look even more authentic, he has equipped them with “Special Effects”: With the push of a button, the Guardian makes the swords glow. In the following video, you can get an impression of it yourself:
China is getting a Warcraft movie. Just very different from the one we actually expect.
Two Warcraft movies are better than one, right?
Also, the Warcraft movie will soon be released in China. However, it is not the one most of you are thinking of. In China, a lot is possible in terms of imitation, and it seems the producers of the film industry have taken that to heart. Because this month, the film “My World of Warcraft” will be hitting theaters, which has clear parallels to Blizzard’s universe.
However, there are not many details about the plot of this film yet, except that it will involve fantasy, time travel, and of course, the great love. The brief summary of the film reads as follows: “A man is transported to the fantasy world of World of Warcraft, where the seemingly impossible happens…” Well, doesn’t that sound outstanding.
The similarities to the actual World of Warcraft are quite evident. There are apparently actors in paladin costumes and at least one lady looks very suspiciously like the life binder Alexstrasza. The director of the film, Zhang Wei, also provided a brief statement:
“I have poured all my enthusiasm and passion into this film and exhausted myself completely to create a spectacle that is based on a logical storyline while being an inexhaustible wonder for the eyes.”
That sounds almost a bit modest. Chinese fans have voiced plenty of criticism online regarding the film, mainly because Blizzard (presumably) has nothing to do with this production.

The players of ArcheAge are called to piracy. Grab rewards as you deliver trade packs.
Shipping trade packs brings rewards
Since yesterday (May 13th), the trade event “From Distant Shores” is taking place in ArcheAge again, encouraging all players to ship trade packs. Trion is tracking who delivers the most trade packs between Nuia and Haranya until May 16th and exchanges them for charcoal, stone salt, crystal, or dragon essence stabilizers.
For every account that has exchanged at least one pack for stabilizers during the event, there will be 20 achievement medals at the end of the event, which can be picked up in the Glyph shop for 0 credits.
A particularly ambitious player is trying to get into the top 5 of their respective region. Those who exchange the most packs during the event qualify for special rewards.
Trion explicitly mentions that it does not matter who sets sail with the trade packs in a harbor, but only who arrives with the packs at the destination harbor. This invites players and opponents to raid each other to secure large amounts of packs and exchange them for their own glory. Of course, guilds can also work together to give one player all packs and help him to victory – but who would want to give such trust?

Blizzard is pursuing a relentless policy against cheaters and hackers in Overwatch . They get exactly one chance.
Cheaters have exactly one attempt in Overwatch
Nothing ruins the fun of the game like an opponent who resorts to unfair tricks. Overwatch will not be spared in the long run from users of bots and hacks trying out the game. Blizzard has already made it clear in the forum that there will be zero tolerance for cheaters. After all, the developers uphold the motto “Play nice, play fair” which applies not only as a design philosophy but also to supporting players after the launch.
“What does this mean for Overwatch? If a player is found cheating – or using hacks, bots, or any other software that gives an unfair advantage – that player will be permanently banned, period. Cheating undermines not only the spirit of “fair play” that all our products are based on, but it also diminishes the enjoyment of the game for others.”
Nevertheless, Blizzard is unlikely to make major announcements regarding bans, but that doesn’t mean they won’t take action.
At the community’s request, Blizzard will add a feature to report potential cheaters directly via chat, as is already the case in other games. However, according to the community manager, anyone wishing to report another player for cheating should keep a few things in mind:
The camera system in Overwatch does not always show gameplay scenes with the same accuracy as actual gameplay. This means that in the kill cam, the “Play of the Game”, personal highlights, and to a lesser extent also the spectator camera, are not always 100% accurate. As a result, gameplay may appear less smooth and players’ aiming may seem “jerkier” than it actually was.
Bugs in the camera system cannot be ruled out either. In the past, there have been some issues with certain hero abilities. Currently, there are no known errors, but that does not mean they do not exist.
There are simply very good shooter players. Through years of practice and experience, the movements and reactions of these players may seem unnatural and impossible for those who have never encountered this level of skill before.
Finally, it is pointed out that evidence, such as recorded scenes from the kill cam or “Play of the Game”, can be useful, but a ban decision will never be made solely based on such videos. Additionally, “Play nice, play fair” also applies to players reporting a potential cheater: Use the reporting system and do not accuse them by name in public.

After just 10 days, the Kickstarter campaign for the new sandbox MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria (CoE) has already reached its goal of $900,000. According to the developers from SoulboundStudios, every additional cent will now serve to achieve the stretch goals. The upcoming MMORPG promises to do things differently and sets itself apart not only from theme park but also from many sandbox MMOs of past years.
They will announce a small number of new features – including “Mounted Combat” – which had to be removed to meet the previous funding goal. However, they mainly want to use the additional money to reward the backers by increasing the bonuses of existing tiers. The goal is to avoid the “Feature Creep“ of other games in order to accelerate production and improve quality.

But what is the latest hope of many sandbox RPG players about?
A World Full of Features – The Most Important Things at a Glance
Chronicles of Elyria aims to be more than just the typical fantasy sandbox of the last 10 years, where it was all about bashing each other’s skulls. Elyria offers the first attempt at a “simulated” sandbox world.
You don’t just play a single “hero”, but you play an entire bloodline / family of small and large “heroes”. This can be created at the beginning of the game and then expanded into your own dynasty by increasing their power and wealth. It goes so far that, according to the developers, you will be able to found your own kingdom if you don’t choose the simple life of a craftsman or adventurer. The choice is entirely up to the player.
The world into which your character is born consists at the start of just one continent. However, it is said to be so large that it will take 48 hours to travel from one end to the other. Additionally, the world is characterized by its unique dynamics, which includes, among other things, the changing of weather and seasons, as well as the ability for players to discover and map new areas themselves.
It was also relatively clear to the developers early on that they want to integrate the game’s housing into the open game world instead of banishing it to special instances, as known from games like Lotro. This way, the players’ buildings will become part of the game world and allow players to continue interacting with the world, rather than isolating them from it.
Moreover, the houses are not only supposed to look beautiful, but also have practical uses, as the game is also supposed to feature “survival aspects” such as hunger, thirst, cold, and fatigue, which can be particularly well satisfied in one’s own house.
Just as dynamic as the world should also be the active combat system according to the developers, where timing, speed, and strategy are key. One must dodge attacks, parry blows, and pay attention to the character’s stamina to avoid meeting an untimely end.

Overall, in all areas of the game, the focus should be less on equipment and more on the skill and knowledge of the player, which also applies to crafting, where recipes for items must first be discovered by players before they can then be created in a form of mini-game and sold by merchants.
This player-driven economic system, the limited availability of resources, and the fact that not only weapons and armor, but the entire world including its buildings is destructible, ensures constant changes in the game world. Local or regional conflicts can arise, in which every player has the chance to influence the course of history.
Story Without Quests?
The heart of the game is supposed to be the quest system, where players are supposed to assign tasks to other players. For the developers attempt to move away from the traditional quest system of classic MMOs in Chronicles of Elyria concerning “story and events”:
“Are you tired of killing 20 rabbits that are destroying a farmer’s harvest while seeing 50 other characters doing the same quest? We are ditching NPC quest hubs by enabling other players to issue tasks.”
Additionally, the developers are also relying on their in-house story engine called Proteus, whose AI is supposed to monitor events in the game and respond accordingly. For example, if players acquire a lot of wealth, kill another player, or discover a new continent, the AI should weave a story around that.
The PvP System – More Sandbox and Less Slaughterhouse!
In the game, two types of fighting and killing must be distinguished – on the one hand, legal killing with “Casus Belli”, such as wars, self-defense, and duels, and on the other hand, the senseless murder of innocents.
If you do commit a crime such as murder or theft, your face will quickly appear on a wanted poster. This makes visiting cities no longer straightforward and you could end up in prison, which basically means a loss of play and life time and therefore also money. A system that is supposed to prevent players from senselessly attacking each other even though they theoretically could – at least that’s what the developers hope.
If players nevertheless engage in baseless attacks, another mechanism comes into play that aims to significantly reduce griefing. It ensures that victims can only lose life energy once within a two-hour lifetime after their death. Additionally, player killers will ultimately lose more life energy upon their own death than their innocent victims. The more notorious the character, the higher the penalty.
To ensure all this works as planned, the developers want to keep a close eye on the live servers. If too few illegal activities are detected and hardly any players are punished, they plan to adjust. Because the team aims for the number of “criminals” to not exceed 10% to 20% of the total population.

The days are over when you just watched your character perform skills and waited for bars to fill from left to right when crafting. Because in Chronicles of Elyria, your own reflexes and good hand-eye coordination as well as your dexterity will play a significant role in how good your character ultimately is and how quickly you can improve.
In fights, especially important is the knowledge of how to swing your sword correctly and timing it right to breach the opponent’s defense. And if you want to craft a more powerful item, you will also need a certain level of dexterity, which does not only depend on the character’s skills. It is rather a combination of the character’s stats and your own skill.A detailed representation can be found in our article about the skill system.
Who Dies More Often Dies Sooner – Facts & Rumors about the Payment System
When we presented the payment system of Chronicles of Elyria in January, where players must pay more after the “permadeath” of their character to continue playing with a new character, there was much discussion in our comments and many misunderstandings arose. We want to clarify those today.
Characters age and die after a maximum of 80 to 120 in-game years (Ø 100) due to old age. This corresponds to an average of one year in real-time. Additionally, characters can also succumb to their ‘wounds.’ Because every ‘real death’ in the game costs the character life energy, which reduces their life – and thus playtime.
However, this is not always final, as characters usually first become unconscious and only die if you deliver the death blow. This is especially important in PvP, as NPCs and mobs usually do not do this.
A new “Sparks of Life”, which allows you to continue playing with your character’s heir, is expected to cost around 30 USD. When broken down to a monthly rate, players pay between 2.50 USD and 10 USD per month, depending on the situation.
In addition to “Sparks of Life”, there should also be “Story Points”. These are awarded to players who play a decisive role in the area of “Story & Events” in the game, that is powerful kings, famous generals, and notorious brigands, who due to their role in the game also die more often. These should be exchangeable for “Sparks of Life” to unlock new playtime.

We introduce you to the three artifact weapons that hunters can obtain in World of Warcraft: Legion.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, much revolves around the artifact weapons. These are given to players early on and grow alongside their bearers throughout the expansion. Each talent specialization receives its own weapon, which means hunters have a total of 3 artifacts available. Let’s take a look at each weapon.
Beast Mastery – Titanstrike (Artifact Weapon for Beast Mastery Hunters)
Background: When technology and magic are combined, it is called (drum roll!) technomagic. Such a construct is Titanstrike, designed by Mimiron, one of the watchers of Ulduar. The brilliant inventor fused the technology of a firearm with the spark of thunder, which can tap into the essence of storms, transforming the projectiles into pure energy. This weapon was once intended for Thorim, another titan watcher – but due to various incidents in Ulduar, it was lost.
Properties of Titanstrike: The usual properties of the weapon are quite simple, as they mostly increase the damage of the hunter and the pet. However, the self-healing of the hunter is also enhanced, as Kill Command now restores a portion of the damage dealt as health.
All start with Hati’s Bond: In addition to your normal companion, Hati now fights by your side (as an additional companion).
Master of Beasts improves Hati, allowing him to benefit from additional effects: Hati can now be affected by Beast’s Fury, performs Beast Cleave, and deals damage with the ability Kill Command.
The Surge of the Storm God enhances your Multi-Shot, giving each use of the ability a chance to trigger an electric discharge at your companion, causing nature damage in an area around the animal.
With Titan’s Thunder, the hunter gains a usable ability. At the press of a button, all your companions become electrically charged and deal additional damage to their current target for 8 seconds.
Marksmanship – Thas’dorah, Legacy of House Windrunner (Artifact Weapon for Marksmanship Hunters)
Background: When the elven kingdom of Quel’Thalas was founded, the high elves still had many customs from their night elf siblings. Thas’dorah was carved from a branch of the Mother Tree of the Immersang Forest and became a heirloom of the Windrunner family. Over many centuries, the bow was passed down to the eldest member of the current generation of the family, eventually ending up in the hands of Alleria Windrunner, who was the ranger captain of the high elves. However, shortly after the destruction of Draenor, the bow disappeared along with its owner when the shattered world emerged.
Properties of Thas’dorah, Legacy of House Windrunner: The usual properties of Thas’dorah are relatively mundane but effective. Critical hit chance and damage from critical strikes are increased, and the cooldown of many abilities is reduced.
Starting with Windburst. It deals high damage to the target. At the same time, the ability creates a path of wind between the hunter and the target, increasing the movement speed of all allies by 50% for 5 seconds.
Legacy of the Windrunners improves the aimed shot. It now has a chance to summon 6 additional wind arrows that also deal damage to the target.
Bullseye significantly enhances the hunter in the final stages of a fight. If an ability deals damage to an enemy with less than 20% of their health, the hunter gains 3% critical hit chance for 6 seconds. This is stackable up to 30 times.
Call of the Hunter enhances the new ability Marked Shot, providing an additional chance to damage all vulnerable enemies with extra wind arrows.
Survival – Talonclaw, Spear of the Wild Gods (Artifact Weapon for Survival Hunters)
Background: Few weapons on Azeroth are as ancient as Talonclaw, which was crafted by the tauren of Highmountain long before the first invasion of the Burning Legion over 10,000 years ago. The bearers of this weapon have fought side by side with the ancients – protective animal spirits who wanted to safeguard Azeroth and especially the animals of this world. Over the millennia, this weapon has been imbued with countless blessings from these animal spirits, so now a part of that power slumbers within the spear.
Properties of Talonclaw: Survival is the new melee specialization of the hunter, hence the usual properties almost always enhance melee abilities. However, interestingly, the cooldown of the new harpoon can be reset each time an enemy is killed.
At the start, there is Fury of the Eagle, a channeled melee attack that deals high damage over 4 seconds.
Aspect of the Skylord increases all dealt damage by 30% while Aspect of the Eagle is active.
Eagle’s Bite enhances the hunter’s new harpoon ability. Each harpoon applies a DoT to the target, dealing damage over 12 seconds and is always renewed by automatic attacks.
Talon Strike enhances automatic attacks, as it gives the hunter a chance to trigger two additional attacks with each strike.
In The Division, the blunt statement of an official Ubisoft moderator has caused a stir.
Tempers are high in the Ubisoft forum and on reddit: DigitalHitman, a moderator in the official Ubi forum, currently sees the community as the biggest problem in The Division. Toxic tensions have arisen due to the imbalance among agents.
People are upset because those agents who invested more or less a lot of time into the game pre-patch and thus reached a high rank and top-tier gear early are superior to others. There is also the accusation that some agents ruthlessly exploited the early glitches and exploits in the game, allowing them to quickly upgrade their character.
The moderator responds to a forum post by a user: this user accused Massive of not adequately addressing the concerns of the players.
Update 1.2 aims to address many concerns of the agents
DigitalHitman continues to write that The Division is accessible for both core and casual gamers. Since the game is an MMO, it is perfectly natural that casual players lag behind other users in progress. He himself has clocked nearly 20 hours in the game, having painstakingly earned everything himself. However, he still has some goals to achieve.
The development team cannot address the concerns of every player individually, as everyone has different experiences in the game. But he firmly believes that with the upcoming Update 1.2, many issues will be resolved in The Division.
In the future, the team wants to become more transparent and communicative. But even now, they are trying to listen to the community and their opinions in the comments. The moderator himself would do everything in his power to meet the wishes of the players. He asks for a little more patience.
Even though he finds conciliatory words at the end of his post: the statement that the toxic community is currently the biggest problem in the game does not sit well with users – which is directly reflected in the comments. The reference that the game is still plagued by numerous bugs and cheats belongs to the friendlier sort.

BioWare gives a first impression of the upcoming chapter of SWTOR “Mandalore’s Revenge”. Check out the teaser trailer here.
The Great Mandalore … is a Woman!
The story of the current expansion “Knights of the Fallen Empire” of SWTOR is starting to pick up pace. After chapter 13 had a rather humorous tone, chapter 14 will be much more serious again. “Mandalore’s Revenge” revolves around the bounty hunter Shae Vizla, who players may already know from the previous expansion.
She is none other than the famous Mandalore and thus the current leader of the Mandalorians – an organization of bounty hunters who were hired by the Empire in the last war to block important trade routes. Once you have secured the help of the somewhat hot-headed lady, it is time to confront the common enemy on the desert world of Darvannis: Arcann and the Eternal Empire.
To get fans excited for the new episode, BioWare has released a new teaser trailer.

We present the exotic Hunter helmet Achlyophage Symbiont in the MMO shooter Destiny.
This weekend, the Agent of the Nine with the shaggy facial hair has a dark Hunter helmet on offer: He wants to charge you 13 Strange Coins for the “Achlyophage Symbiont.” But is this investment worth it?

What makes the helmet “Achlyophage Symbiont” in Destiny stand out?
“Achlyophage Symbiont” is designed for the Gunslinger subclass of the Hunter, as it specifically impacts their super. There was a version of this helmet in year 1 of Destiny that had fixed perks. The “Year 2” version, however, has several random perks:
The Last Man: The Golden Gun receives an additional shot per use. This is the only fixed perk of this helmet.
In a random selection, you have the chance for Innervation (bonus grenade energy when picking up orbs), Strengthening (bonus melee energy when picking up orbs), Better Already (shields recharge immediately upon picking up an orb) and Infusion (health is restored when picking up a Light Orb).
For the available extras, you have the chance for Reaping Shadow (increased super energy when defeating minions of darkness), From the Ashes (bonus super energy on grenade hits), Practically Inclined (bonus super energy when eliminating minions of darkness with melee kills), Sensory Shift (bonus super energy when finishing enemies with special weapons) and Hard Work, which gives you bonus super energy when you blast enemies with heavy weapons.
Additionally, you can increase Intellect, Strength, or Discipline with further perks.
The Year 1 version of this Hunter helmet focused on enhancing grenades along with the bonus for the Golden Gun. In Year 2, the helmet is no longer specialized in that, but you can still use Innervation and From the Ashes to boost the grenades.
If you want to acquire the “Achlyophage Symbiont” from Xur this weekend, you will receive it with 56 intellect and the following perks:
Strengthening
Practically Inclined
Hard Work
Strength or Intellect can be increased
The Last Man
How does the “Achlyophage Symbiont” perform in PvE and PvP?
In Year 1, this helmet was among the best Hunter helmets and was very popular in the community. Compared to this version, the “Achlyophage Symbiont” was significantly weakened in the second year – which is not immediately noticeable.
The nerf affects the “The Last Man” perk, which still grants an additional shot with the Golden Gun, but the duration for which the super is active is significantly reduced. Now, the exotic item “Achlyophage Symbiont” brings not only an advantage but also a significant disadvantage, which is especially noticeable in PvP.
The YouTuber Unknown Player pulled out the stopwatch and found out: Without the helmet, you have 11 seconds for three shots, with the helmet you have only 7 seconds for four shots. In PvE, this is not a huge limitation in many situations, as you might unload all four shots quickly in a strike against the big boss.
In PvP, however, the 7 seconds are tight. It won’t happen too often that you get to face four opponents in such a short time to deal with them. And if you’re not calling out “Hey, this is something I constantly find myself in!”, then there’s really no reason why you should choose this helmet in PvP. Here, three shots, which you have 11 seconds for, are likely to be more valuable.
Of course, a fourth shot while running can also be useful if you occasionally have problems aiming and the first three bullets fly past the target. Then you still have an ace up your sleeve and can pull out as a shining winner at the end of the day.
Numerous opinions from the community indicate that the Year 2 version of the “Achlyophage Symbiont” is significantly worse than the Year 1 version – especially in the Crucible. A clear recommendation cannot be issued at this point.
Below you can watch the review of our friend Nexxoss Gaming about the “better” version of the exotic helmet:

The Bundesliga TOTS contains 23 players, who can now be found in the packs. EA Sports is adding one more: The German talent Leroy Sané from FC Schalke 04 is also receiving an upgraded player card. However, you can only obtain this through the Bundesliga Tournament – if you win it.
Requirements for the Bundesliga Tournament:
Exactly 18 players from the Bundesliga in the starting eleven and on the bench.
Currently, there is a phenomenon on the transfer market where even Bundesliga players with the poorest ratings are sold for several hundred coins. Apparently, many gamers have to fill their substitutes bench with any Bundesliga players. You need to be quick here: The cards at low prices are quickly sold out!
Online Prizes:
Win: TOTS card of Leroy Sané (cannot be listed on the transfer market)
Win: Rare Gold Pack (Contains cards that cannot be traded)
Further wins: Premium Coin Packs with at least 4000 coins
Offline Prizes:
Win: Premium Gold Pack (cards cannot be sold)
Further wins: Coin Packs with at least 2000 coins
The tournament runs from May 13 to May 20 at 7 PM.
The TOTS card of Leroy Sané comes with strong stats that a winger needs: Pace is excellent, the shooting stats and dribbling are also impressive. With his height of 1.84 meters, he also outperforms other speed dribblers.
This card cannot be purchased on the transfer market for coins. If you want to have the Bundesliga talent in your squad, you must win the tournament yourself.
Overwatch has already offered some really cool gameplay scenes during the beta. Check out some highlights here.
Multikills and Solo Fails – The Fun Factor in Overwatch
Although the closed beta of Overwatch lasted only a few days, there were many interesting scenes and moments that were fortunately captured by many players. Kotaku has compiled a small selection that we want to present to you here.
First, the German knight Reinhardt shows you how to take on four opponents at the same time. It requires a bit of willingness to sacrifice, but that’s certainly given with the hammer-swinging man.

Pretty cool is also Genji’s ability to completely reflect enemy projectiles. This works not only against normal fire (which often drives Bastion to despair) but also against some ultimate abilities. When Mei throws out her Blizzard, it can also be reflected back by Genji, freezing the enemy team!

Lucio can not only slide along walls with the spacebar but can also fight his way back onto the field with several jumps. This led to this amusing scene on the Ilios map, where a quite surprised Zarya takes the place of the doomed musician.

Mei consistently causes exciting rescue operations with her ice wall. Actually, the wall should not be able to truly imprison other players to immobility, but if the bug occurs, the opponent ends up looking quite foolish.

A similarly great combination of ultimate abilities can be achieved with Zarya and Pharah . The Russian woman pulls all enemies together and Pharah rains a shower of rockets down on the helpless foes. Whoosh, clean field.

In The Division, the vendors have new goods for agents on PS4, Xbox One, and PC starting today. We take a closer look at the offerings of the Special Equipment Vendor and the DZ Weapons Vendor.
Today marks the start of the new vendor week in The Division. If you still have some Phoenix Credits in your piggy bank, you can wander over to the Special Equipment Vendor at the Operation Base and buy his goods. If you are swimming in Dark Zone currency, you can throw the cash on the table of the DZ Weapons Vendor. But is it worth visiting the vendors?
What the Special Equipment Vendor has on offer starting May 14th
The Special Equipment Vendor has two cosmetic items and exclusively high-end items with a Gear Score of 204 and 182. Additionally, you will find numerous blueprints in this vendor’s offer, which you can check out here. This includes parts of the equipment sets. These remain the same every week; only the prices change a bit.

M60 E4 – Military Version (Light Machine Gun): 830 PCs – Value 204 (Talents: Restored, Destructive, Thieving)
Additionally, there are two high-end backpacks, a holster, and a pair of gloves. The Jacket – Sand Color and the Ranger Jacket must not be missing either.
These are the weapons of the Dark Zone Weapons Vendor starting May 14th
You will find this weapons vendor in DZ03 in the Safe Room. For his goods, you partially need extremely high DZ ranks; otherwise, he won’t sell them. Some of his blueprints change every week.
High-End Weapons:
M9 – Military Version (Pistol): 42051 DZC – Value 182 (Rank 40) (Talents: Expert, Durable)

With the upcoming DLC Dark Brotherhood, some new skills will be introduced to the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online and you will complete new quests.
The Dark Brotherhood is a community of assassins who take contracts to eliminate certain residents of the fantasy continent Tamriel quietly and stealthily. For that, you will of course need a range of special skills that you can acquire as a member of the Dark Brotherhood.
New Skills for Assassins
These skills include six passive abilities that you have access to as long as you own the DLC Dark Brotherhood. The abilities include:
Blade of Passion, which allows you to kill your target with just one strike.
Scales of Justice, reduces notoriety and bounty if you are recognized as an assassin.
Padomaic Sprint allows you to run faster temporarily to escape from the scene of a murder.
Veiled Assistance enables you to contact another member of the Brotherhood who will provide you with useful items of your choice once a day.
Shadow Rider reduces the aggression radius by half while you are riding.
Spectral Assassin gives you a 15% chance to remain undetected when using “Blade of Passion”.
Face New Quests
In addition, you will take on contract quests that lead you across the continent to eliminate certain NPCs. In Sacrament quests, on the other hand, you will infiltrate secured underground locations to eliminate targets chosen through the completion of the Black Sacrament.
Sacrament quests still offer some side objectives for which you will receive bonuses upon completion. In the cities of Anwil and Kvatch, you can also expect daily bounty missions where you must delve into dungeons or compete against others in the arena.
Finally, you will dive into the special mission “Litany of Blood”. After completing the first Sacrament quest, you will receive the book “Litany of Blood”, which contains encrypted clues that lead you across Tamriel to eliminate various targets. You see, you will have a lot to do with the DLC Dark Brotherhood of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online.

In Destiny the Trials of Osiris begin on Friday, May 13th. Where will they take place this time?
The Trials of Osiris are the weekly PvP event in Destiny. There is also a monthly event, the Iron Banner. However, that is expected to occur earliest on Tuesday, May 24th.
The Trials of Osiris begin on Fridays at 7:00 PM and end Tuesday morning at 11:00 AM with the start of a new week in Destiny.
Today, the map being played is Bannerfall.
Fights take place in best-of-9 matches and in 3-player teams. The mode is “Elimination.” If the opposing team is completely dead, you win a round. Fallen teammates can be revived. This makes it extremely important in the Trials to control the bodies of both opponents and your own teammates.
Rewards are usually given through the bounties from Brother Vance. With 5 and 7 wins, there are also “special items” from the Osiris pool, which are determined randomly. The strongest players attempt to reach Mercury with a flawless ticket and loot the chest.
Maybe Friday the 13th is your lucky day today, Guardians.
Before we reveal the Trials of Osiris map for this week, know that our Security Response Team just banned a bunch of cheaters. Play nice!
For some cheaters, it wasn’t a lucky day. Bungie announced before revealing the current map that the banhammer has struck again and some cheaters have been banned.

The Kickstarter campaign for the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is going great, and now the developers have answered some questions about the game.
The desired funding amount of $900,000 should be reached this weekend. There will be no real stretch goals. They want to put all the money into polishing the game. New features – which the community can vote on – will be introduced after the release. Fans can then choose between mounted combat or the ability to dig tunnels.
How the quests work
Now the developers spoke mainly about the story and how the quests in the game will work. The specially programmed story engine enables individual and dynamic quests. While in other MMORPGs you experience static missions that everyone completes, the story engine will generate individual quests for each player.
In another MMO, you might be tasked with rescuing an NPC who is in danger of dying due to a landslide. However, nothing would happen if you didn’t help the NPC. In Chronicles of Elyria, the story engine will cause a landslide that buries some NPC, and then you, as a player, must react quickly, as the NPC can also die.
Survival is key
As Chronicles of Elyria is also a sandbox game, survival elements play an important role. The hero gets hungry and thirsty, must pay attention to temperatures to avoid freezing. You can become exhausted or poisoned. All of this must be kept in mind and counteracted if necessary, such as regularly eating and drinking and wearing warm clothing in cold areas.
The developers want to create a high level of transparency so that fans can be involved in every step of the MMO’s development. They will respond to feedback and want to test the game thoroughly so that there are as few bugs as possible – which probably can never be completely avoided. As it stands now, Chronicles of Elyria is expected to be released no earlier than the end of 2017.

In Doom, an artist has recreated the demon “Revenant” out of wood. The special thing: he used a chainsaw as a tool!
Today, the shooter Doom is released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. To celebrate this release, Bethesda has teamed up with Australian chainsaw artist Rob Bast to bring the most iconic demon of the series to life.
Bast “carved” the Revenant out of wood. This demon is known to players from the original Doom as a nasty, skeleton-like enemy that always drew attention with a shrill scream. For this, the artist likely used the favorite tool of every Doom fan: the chainsaw. You can watch the work process and the final result in the following video from Bethesda:

It took nearly 150 hours to complete the approximately 2.4-meter tall sculpture. According to Bethesda, it was made entirely from recycled, sustainable cypress wood. If you want to see this masterpiece in person, you just need to take a flight to Melbourne: there, the Revenant will be exhibited from today at the “Australian Centre for the Moving Image” (ACMI).
