In FIFA 16 Ultimate Team, the players from Leicester City are currently available in TOTS or as FUT Heroes.
Since yesterday, the championship trophy for FC Bayern Munich is confirmed. While this title was not a big surprise for most soccer fans, a team in England turned the soccer world upside down: Leicester City won the championship in the Barclays Premier League a few days ago – after an extraordinary season in which they caused a stir.
Leicester City players receive Hero cards in FIFA 16
In the Team of the Season of the BPL EA Sports rewarded six of these champion players with special upgraded cards, which can be obtained this week in sets.
Now EA also honors the entire team performance of Leicester City and has created hero cards for those players who are not in the TOTS. These will be available in packs until Monday at 7 PM.
As EA Sports states, no one could have expected such a dream season from Leicester City at the launch of FIFA 16. However, players of the fresh BPL champions were not only rewarded at the end of the season in FIFA 16: FUT with improved cards; throughout the season, some special in-form cards were assigned to them.
Exemplary examples include the striker Jamie Vardy and RM Riyad Mahrez, who both started the season as silver players. After some in-form cards during the past months, they now received outstanding cards with overall ratings of 93 (Mahrez) and 91 (Vardy) with the TOTS.
Therefore, EA Sports notes:
What a difference a year can make.
Leicester City’s march in numbers in FIFA 16
In the 2014/15 season, Leicester City reached 15th place in the Premier League. A year later, they now greet from the top of the table. On this occasion, EA Sports created a graphic comparing some statistics from FIFA 15 with those from FIFA 16.
In FIFA 15, 36,265,400 games were played with Leicester City, in FIFA 16 a whopping 133,729,420. This is an increase of 269%!
Number of players who played with Leicester City: In FIFA 15, there were 3,959,660, in FIFA 16 a respectable 17,207,975. Here, there is even an increase of 335%.
Number of goals scored with Leicester City: In FIFA 15, there were 6,890,331, in FIFA 16 the ball hit the net 51,728,408 times. Increase of 651%!
Also in “Support your Club” there were significantly more supporters in FIFA 16 with 266,122 than in FIFA 15 with 82,393. Here was an increase of 223%.
The MMORPG Black Desert boasts its graphics and also gladly presents them in TV spots.
Many MMORPGs show little of the game in their commercials, Black Desert takes a different approach.
Visually, MMORPGs are usually not outstanding: They are designed to run on as many computers as possible for years. In the past, graphics rarely wowed anyone. Moreover, they are complex and the magic is often hard to capture: Not great material to create a nice 30-second commercial out of.
TV commercials for World of Warcraft, for example, relied more on personalities and stars, featuring William Shatner, Mister T, or Chuck Norris prominently while the game remained in the background. The Elder Scrolls Online also relies more on “real actors” than on game footage.

With Black Desert, one does not have such worries. The graphics look modern, almost photorealistic, making the landscape the star of the new TV commercial.
Of course, this advertisement also does not do justice to the game: the complex crafting and quest systems find no echo, but … that would be incredibly hard to portray in 30 seconds.

In the hero shooter Overwatch the beta has been extended.
This will be a short news: Blizzard is so pleased about the many feedback on Overwatch and finds it so valuable that they have extended the beta by 24 hours in order to receive even more feedback – those greedy ones. This is to be understood as a kind of “Thank you!” for all the “invaluable” feedback they have received from the beta, as stated in a post on Battle.net.
The open beta on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for everyone now ends on Tuesday, May 10th, at 7:00 PM our time. It was originally supposed to end on Monday at 7:00 PM.

In Destiny, a Guardian has managed to solo Oryx in the King’s Fall raid – and in Hard Mode! This masterpiece has been left for posterity on YouTube.
The YouTuber Esoterickk has apparently achieved the first Oryx solo kill in Hard Mode. His most important tool for this feat was the Sleeper Simulant fusion rifle at Light Level 335, with which he was able to bring Oryx to his knees. Before the April update, no one had accomplished this notable achievement.
Warlock solos Oryx
The Guardian played the run with a Sunbreaker Warlock, which allowed him to revive himself – and he had to do so multiple times. Besides the Sleeper Simulant, he needed double fusion grenades and, above all, one thing: speed. The ogres must be dealt with quickly, and the knights spawn faster than in Normal Mode. The YouTuber clearly had no time to waste.
See for yourself:

According to the YouTuber, these are the requirements to replicate this feat:
Sleeper Simulant with 335 Light.
Warlock with 333-335 Light.
Voidwalker with 333-335 Light and the perk Triple (if rapidly precision hits are achieved, one round is returned to the magazine).
The chest piece Starfire Protocol (for an additional fusion grenade and more ammunition for special weapons. Managing ammunition in the solo run is also a challenge).
Leg armor that increases sniper ammo.
Gauntlets that increase the reload speed of snipers.
Esoterickk emphasizes that this task was a tricky challenge for him. He “worked” on it for about 20-25 hours until he achieved the solo kill. The difference compared to Normal Mode is definitely enormous.
Is it now the time when Oryx is soloed in every conceivable way? His son Crota could already tell a tale about it. Here, Crota is danced to death by a Guardian.
What do you think of this achievement? Are you already planning to pay Oryx a visit soon and follow in the YouTuber’s footsteps?

In Marvel Heroes , an action for the movie “The First Avenger: Civil War” brings new life to the superhero scene.
The new Marvel movie “The First Avenger: Civil War” is the blockbuster of the moment. Critics see it as the best Marvel movie ever. It started on April 28 in Germany, but it was only really happening in the USA on May 6.
Marvel Heroes is not going to miss this. The Diablo-like action MMORPG not only carries the “Marvel” title in its name, but takes it very seriously: Marvel Heroes 2016 is part of every Marvel action, whether on TV or elsewhere, with an event in the game.

To get started with Civil War, you can temporarily choose between the heroes Captain America or Iron Man until Tuesday afternoon. To do this, you need to go to this website from Gazillion, log in with your account, and then enter either “TEAMIRONMAN” or “TEAMCAP”. You have to make a choice: There is only one hero you can play until level 60 – even heroes you do not “own” can be played until level 10.
In Marvel Heroes 2016, there are numerous bonuses for the next three weeks in May, 50% more EXP for all Civil War heroes, and a new starting mission is ready. In the Madripoor Bazaar, you hunt Crossbones.
Until May 26, more events will take place in the game, and there will be extra bonus EXP and goodies. The Civil War content will expire later, and after May 26, it will no longer be playable. However, the developers want to bring it back regularly as an event.
After May 26, Marvel Heroes will take a break from events for a few days, and in June there will be a birthday month. So it’s a good time to get into Marvel Heroes right now.
In The Division, you can acquire certain items only after reaching a DZ rank of 75 or 90. We will show you how to efficiently increase your DZ rank.
The Dark Zone weapon dealer has stylish items and blueprints in stock every week, which you can purchase with DZ currency. However, there is a catch: You need to have reached at least rank 75 or even 90 in the Dark Zone to get the most desirable items. How do you achieve such a high rank?
Basically, there are two ways to achieve this goal: Either you play relaxed with your buddies for a few hours over several weeks with the motto “Eventually, it will work out with rank 75,” or you make a brutal push in the shortest time possible, which might turn into a lot of work.
The following three aspects will make your rank progress easier:
Focus on Stamina: One thing you definitely want to avoid is dying! If you go down, you will lose part of your hard-earned DZ experience. Therefore, you should rely on a build that increases your health, allowing you to take more damage before going down. Especially when you are out alone, caution is advisable in the Dark Zone.
Play as a Team: If you take too much damage, it is beneficial to have allies with you. They can heal you before you lose valuable experience. Additionally, you can defeat enemies more efficiently in a group and defend against rogues. And playing with good friends is much more fun!
Use Equipment that Increases DZ Experience: You can significantly accelerate your rank progress with the right gear. Some items offer experience bonuses that you should keep an eye out for. You can see how high your XP bonuses are under the character data in the “Exploration” category.
Find a Farm Route for Dark Zone Experience
Now, you need to eliminate as many enemies as possible in the shortest time to efficiently gain DZ experience. You can create your own farm route, for which there are even specific tools available on the internet. Or you can follow already known farm routes that you can find on YouTube and in the forums.
We will show you a video of the agent “DreadTheDarkZone“, who promotes a rank increase from 1-99 in under 4 days. On this route, you should earn over 10,000 DZ experience every five minutes.

You can find the exact directions best in the video. The most important points are as follows:
Start at the extraction zone in DZ03 north of the safe room. Call in the helicopter there and defeat the boss and the remaining NPCs. Due to the activated extraction, more enemies will spawn that you can kill.
Next, head to the underground entrance in the north of the extraction zone, where you also eliminate the NPCs.
Stay underground and head west. It’s best to see how to move underground in the video. You will encounter enemies here as well.
Exit the underground through one of the two exits in the north and run to the landmark north of the extraction zone. On the way there, a strike team member can sprint to the extraction zone, call in the heli, and then return to the team.
Kill the boss at the landmark and then defeat the enemies at the extraction zone.
Now the fun starts all over again. If there are no NPCs at the extraction zone, you can go to an optional landmark, defeat the enemies there, and then return. By then, the XP-generating NPCs should be available again.
For this route, the user has also drawn a nice map:
Red: Routes in the open.
Yellow: Routes underground.
Blue: You will encounter strong enemies here.
Black: This line indicates the path of the member who should call for extraction.
White: This leads to the optional landmark.
What tips do you have for efficiently leveling up in DZ rank?
In Battleborn there is a mission that is too hard. The problem: it keeps coming up constantly.
Battleborn has been live for a few days now. One of the story missions seems to be designed to be too difficult. This creates a sort of vicious cycle: since many people fail at this mission, they still need to complete it and want to finish it. Since the group decides which mission to tackle through voting, it appears more frequently.
I was assigned the mission twice, even though I voted differently, and both times we failed at the same point – quite far back. Mike Fahey from the US site Kotaku even writes that he has failed the mission 7 times.
Especially annoying: for me, it was the first story mission that I did at all. And getting my rear kicked by it is really bizarre.
Overall, “the Saboteur” is disproportionately difficult and represents a steep increase in the difficulty curve. PlayStation players have completion rates of at least 25% for other missions, but for “The Saboteur” it is only 9.4%, writes Kotaku. Even on PC, it is by far the least completed mission.
http://youtu.be/SkxGdG4Fhlc?t=27m18s
Good luck next time!
The mission runs for 20, 25, even 30 minutes without major problems. Then you have to defend a point against waves of enemies, and if the player group is too “slow” there and cannot take down the enemies quickly enough, they eat away at the HP of your own AI, and you lose. No second chance, no new attempt, just: the mission has failed, better luck next time. And then you need another 30 minutes to reach that point again.
This is relatively hard-tuned because the enemies’ ranged fighters seem to eat away at the HP of your own AI, and it doesn’t recover between waves.
The problem is well known and is being heavily discussed in the community. Some suggest trying it solo or with a small group, as the scaling makes it significantly easier.
The creative director of Battleborn has announced a nerf: they don’t know when, but it will definitely happen at this point.

The most spectacular multi-kills in Overwatch can be generated by D.Va solo. We show you some special scenes.
Explosions with D.Va – “Nerf this!”
Of the 21 different characters in Overwatch, none is as good as D.Va at generating devastating multi-kills. The reason for this is quite simple. Her ultimate ability allows her to exit her personal mech after the self-destruct sequence has been initiated. The opposing team, as well as D.Va, has 3 seconds to take cover after that, because everything caught in the explosion will inevitably find itself in the realm of the dead.

These 3 seconds often mean that – if at all – only one or two players lose their virtual lives in the explosion. Unless D.Va places the mech in such a way that it falls on the enemies from above and they don’t notice what is happening until it’s too late. The result is quite amusing multi-kills, especially since (or perhaps because?) you rarely see the victims. We have selected some of the best scenes for you.
This interesting video shows the map Hollywood at the first control point. It’s hard to capture – but not when you throw the enemies a little gift over the roof first.

The following video shows a bit more, as the opposing team is displayed. Always delightful when they try desperately to escape.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O1p1oQw9hs
Even funnier are the moments when other players also help – from the opposing team. A Roadhog can, for example, pull the exploding mech towards him with his hook. A Reinhardt could also “push it away” – or right towards his allies.
Have you also had some interesting moves with D.Va? Or has another player ever dropped their mech right on your head?

The MMORPG Riders of Icarus has received a date for the Open Beta, and there are now founder packs available for purchase.
The Open Beta of Riders of Icarus starts in July
With Riders of Icarus, a new MMORPG is soon entering the market and trying to attract players. Unlike many other games in this genre, much of the action in Riders of Icarus revolves around aerial battles. For this purpose, numerous creatures can be tamed and used as mounts. Many animals can alternatively be transformed into companions that assist the heroes in battle and provide useful effects, such as slightly increased critical hit chance or enhanced movement speed.
Currently, the game is still in closed beta, but Nexon has announced that Riders of Icarus will switch to open beta on July 7, 2016. In line with this announcement, there is a new gameplay trailer.

No purchase of a founder pack is necessary to participate in the Open Beta – anyone who wants to play can jump in directly on July 7.
Those who still decide to purchase a founder pack (€25, €43, or €90) will receive a week of early access to the Open Beta. Furthermore, there is immediate access to the current closed beta and a lot of in-game goodies – depending on how much money you put in. This includes a large package of healing potions, exclusive titles, and – as is fitting for this game – numerous mounts and pets. There are also some bonuses that temporarily enhance character stats.
A complete list of all contents of the founder packs can be found in our sources.

The PvP MMORPG Crowfall is taking more concrete shapes. A video has now presented the destruction system, and the developers talked about possible regional servers.
In the MMO Crowfall, everything revolves around battles between players. These take place in campaigns set on different worlds. During a campaign, one builds a small kingdom on the world, gathers resources, expands the castle, and then launches campaigns against other players. This also leads to sieges. A video has now shown how these sieges unfold.

With catapults, the attackers try to bring the fortress walls crashing down, while the defenders want to prevent this by all means. As soon as the walls fall, the attackers storm into the castle and attack the “Tree of Life,” which represents the heart of the fortress. Once this has been destroyed, the battle is considered won. As can be seen well in the video, the castle can be completely dismantled using the siege machines, leading to spectacular battles.
Will regional servers come to Crowfall? Will everyone be able to play together?
Additionally, the developers spoke about possible regional servers. Currently, the team is thinking about how international play should work. The universe of Crowfall is divided into instances that could represent the individual regions. For some areas like China, this has already been determined.
For Europe or Russia, they are still in negotiations with partners. However, they do not want to split the players too much, as they actually want everyone to be able to play with everyone, regardless of where they come from. However, it is still unknown whether this will be possible.
The development of the MMORPG Crowfall is meanwhile progressing very well, according to studio founder Todd Coleman.

In Overwatch , it has been stated how the current beta will differ from the launch version.
Most betas recently show only a fraction of what the finished game will later bring. However, this is not the case with Overwatch: 21 heroes, 12 maps, and four game modes. These are available now and will also be available at launch. As Jeff Kaplan says: “The version you are playing now will be the one that goes live on launch day – except for some bug fixes.”
The 13th chapter of the SWTOR expansion is now live. There will also be dramatic decisions in the future.
Making the galaxy unsafe with Vette and Gault
Since May 5th, the 13th chapter of “Knights of the Fallen Empire”, the current expansion of SWTOR, has officially been released. Players will encounter old acquaintances in “Loot and Profit” – as Gault and Vette have a very special plot against the Eternal Empire planned.
In addition, players can now try their hand at the Eternal Championship and complete ten exciting arena battles to win numerous rewards and even earn the Wookiee Bowdaar for their cause.

In an interview with mmorpg.com, Lead Designer Charles Boyd revealed something about the future of SWTOR. Some hints have already been dropped for the upcoming chapters – the significance of players’ decisions will be substantial.
“As the story progresses, the fight against Arcann will become increasingly important in the upcoming chapters. The early decisions made by players will haunt or reward them again – in significant ways. Major twists in the story are also planned that will completely change the face of the galaxy and bring forth even more difficult decisions.”
Boyd did not want to reveal much about the more distant future. While there were few concrete statements, an end to the game is likely still a long way off.
“We are not yet ready to talk about the plans after Knights of the Fallen Empire, but rest assured: The stories of the players, their decisions, and consequences are far from over. We have some fantastic plans for the future and I can hardly wait to tell you about them!”
Further, they asked where exactly SWTOR would be seen in the future and whether it even had a place in the Disney-acquired franchise. For example, the planet Malachor, originally from The Old Republic, appeared in “Star Wars Rebels”.
“We are all big fans of Star Wars ourselves, so we always get excited when we see references to The Old Republic in other works. Aside from that, we have no insight into other Star Wars projects or their stories. We discover such references just like everyone else does.”
In World of Warcraft: Legion, much revolves around the artifact weapons. These are given to players early on and grow throughout the entire expansion with their bearers. Each talent specialization receives its own weapon, which is why rogues have a total of 3 artifacts available. Let’s take a look at the individual weapons.
Spoiler Warning: The background story of “Anguish and Sorrow” may spoil parts of the Warcraft movie. You have been warned.
Subtlety – Anguish and Sorrow (Artifact Weapons for Subtlety Rogues)
Background Story: The Orc warlock Gul’dan created the two blades to make them the perfect killing tools. They were designed to drink blood and transmit poisons, leaving no traces of the poison behind – the perfect weapon for a stealthy assassination. Gul’dan entrusted the weapons to Garona, who committed numerous murders under the warlock’s control, including that of King Llane. After this act, Garona fell into despair and asked her friend Meryl Winterstorm to hide the two blades – until today.
Properties of Anguish and Sorrow: The artifact properties of Anguish and Sorrow are straightforward, especially the ordinary points almost always directly increase the damage of individual abilities. Interesting is an improvement of Vendetta, where the rogue’s maximum energy is restored immediately upon activation of the ability.
All begin with Kingsbane. Upon activation, the powerful poison of the blades is released, causing tenfold weapon damage immediately and then additional damage over 14 seconds. During this time, each tick of deadly poison and wound poison increases the outstanding damage of Kingsbane by 20%.
From the Shadows enhances the ability “Vendetta”. The target will now automatically be affected by a DoT that inflicts nature damage over 20 seconds.
Blood of the Assassinated gives bleeding a chance to infect the target. Infected targets take 100% more damage from bleeding.
Bag of Tricks enhances the ability Poisoning. Each time an opponent is attacked with Poisoning, there is a chance to also hurl a poison vial at the enemy that deals damage. Afterwards, a poison puddle forms at the location, damaging all enemies in the area over 6 seconds.
Outlaw – The Dreadblades (Artifact Weapons for Outlaw Rogues)
Background Story: The exact origin of these two blades is unknown; they were only salvaged after the Cataclysm from the wreck of a ship near Booty Bay. Admiral Eliza Bloodblade used the blades and has since made a name for herself on the seas – no ship was safe from her plundering, as no one has been able to defeat her in battle yet. Some pirates even whisper that the blades are cursed and will devour their wielder if not provided with fresh victims at some point.
Properties of the Dreadblades: In Outlaw, the normal artifact properties are rather classic: they increase the damage of abilities and reduce the costs. Interesting is the possibility to enhance the Cloak of Shadows in such a way that for every effect removed or resisted, the rogue is healed by 2% of their maximum health.
All Outlaw Rogues start with Curse of the Dreadblades. Upon activation, each strike of the weapons fully refills the combo points for the next 12 seconds. However, there is a price: each use of a finisher causes the blades to consume 5% of the rogue’s current health.
Blunderbuss enhances the new attack Saber Slash. If Saber Slash strikes again, the next pistol shot is converted into Blunderbuss, dealing more damage and reducing the target’s movement speed by 50% for 6 seconds.
An improvement for Adrenaline Rush is Blurred Time. As long as Adrenaline Rush is active, all cooldowns of the rogue end 200% faster.
Greed grants the Dreadblades a chance to occasionally execute a Cleave attack that hits all enemies within melee range and deals increased damage. For each enemy hit, 5% of the rogue’s maximum health is restored.
Assassination – Fangs of the Devourer (Artifact Weapons for Assassination Rogues)
Background Story: Even the leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras, had a dog. “Goremaw the Devourer” helped his master devour countless worlds for the Legion, until he was eventually overwhelmed and killed. The dreadlord Mephistroph crafted two daggers from the teeth, which contained a part of Goremaw’s essence. Subsequently, the blades were given to Akaari, one of Sargeras’ most dangerous assassins, who still possesses these daggers today.
Properties of the Fangs of the Devourer: The Assassination rogue has some interesting artifact properties. He can make himself completely immune to fall damage and permanently increase his dodge chance by 20%. If the rogue sprints for 3 seconds without taking damage, Vanish is automatically activated without triggering its cooldown.
All start with Goremaw’s Bite. The ability deals high shadow damage, slows the target by 60% for 8 seconds, and regenerates 30 energy over 6 seconds.
Shadow Nova makes every appearance of the rogue amusing. As soon as a rogue exits stealth, he explodes, causing medium shadow damage around him.
Akaari’s Soul enhances Sneaky Trick and Shadow Strike. Whenever one of the two abilities hits, Akaari’s soul appears after 4 seconds and deals medium shadow damage to the same target, followed by high shadow damage over 6 seconds.
Finality enhances the new ability Nightblade and Disembowel. Whenever one of the two abilities is used, the next finisher is amplified by the Fangs of the Devourer, significantly increasing their damage.
The unusual genre mix Atlas Reactor will not rely on a “premium” payment model.
Trion Worlds is actually a specialist in Free2Play MMOs. Rift, ArcheAge, Defiance, and Trove have all either launched as Free2Play or switched to the free model relatively quickly.
The new game “Atlas Reactor” will be released as a paid title. A price of about $30 has been considered. This will likely be the price in Euros as well.
http://youtu.be/vexdRecCsrc
In a statement, the CEO of Trion Worlds, Scott Hartsman, laughingly reveals that they were even a bit surprised by the decision themselves. They had assumed that this title would also be Free2Play. But during the testing phase, they noticed that players were more interested in bundles and packs in the cash shop rather than individual microtransactions. The players also feared that they would have to unlock additional heroes through grinding.
As a reason for the decision, Trion Worlds states that competitive games with a strong focus on planning and tactics do not lend themselves to a Free2Play model as well as games with larger random elements and a slow progression system like Hearthstone.
This also follows a new trend: With Overwatch and Battleborn , two “Free2Play” candidates are also opting for a Buy2Play payment model.
You can get an impression of Atlas Reactor in our “Gameplay” article:
In The Division, the “Hunter’s Call” gear set has a good reputation. What makes this set special?
Since update 1.1, there are four different gear sets in The Division. Each set is supposed to provide benefits for a specific play style. The “Hunter’s Call” is tailored for snipers who operate from the background in teams. For many agents, it is currently considered the best set in the game. Why is that?
This is what makes the “Hunter’s Call” in The Division
The “Hunter’s Call” set consists of a total of six individual pieces. You can find these in the raid “Falcon Lost”, in daily missions, in the Dark Zone, and at the special equipment vendor in the Operations Base. You can find the exact locations of the individual armor pieces of the gear sets in The Division here.
Each individual piece of the “Hunter’s Call” provides the user with certain bonuses, such as protection from elites or increased kill XP. If you have multiple pieces of a set, additional bonuses become active. When you equip four pieces, an individual talent is unlocked:
2 pieces: +30% headshot damage
3 pieces: +20% damage against elites
4 pieces: The talent “Stalker” is activated: Headshots with semi-automatic weapons mark the enemy and increase the damage dealt by 15% for a duration of 10 seconds. A target can receive up to three marks.
In combat, this talent is displayed to you in the form of a marking over the enemies, activated by headshots. For each headshot, a “diamond” is added to this mark. This can be stacked up to three times, as the following image illustrates: You can deal up to 45% more damage to an enemy with this talent. Especially against tough opponents in raids or in Challenge Mode, you can take advantage of this.
But possibly the greatest advantage of the “Stalker” talent, according to YouTuber Arekkz Gaming, is that not only the user benefits, but also the entire team. Once an enemy is marked, each member of the squad deals more damage to that enemy. This way, you can quickly take down the foe together. Thus, the YouTuber’s verdict on the “Hunter’s Call” gear set is:
Really good talent, really good in a team, really good in the raid.
This opinion is shared by many other agents. Since one mostly only plays group activities in endgame, this gear set stands out. Thus, the “Stalker” talent makes the “Hunter’s Call” the best set in the game.

With the upcoming DLC Dark Brotherhood, the PvP system of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online will be revamped.
PvP plays an important role in ESO, especially in the province of Cyrodiil around the Imperial City. The battles for the city will now be reworked with the DLC Dark Brotherhood, as the PvP head Brian Wheeler mentioned to the US site mmorpg.com. While captured fortresses in the area will provide EXP bonuses, the system that allows for zones within the city to be captured and held represents a significant innovation.
Capture districts of the Imperial City!
Each district of the city can be captured through a capture-the-flag-like system. Initially, these flags will be only weakly defended, allowing even small groups of players to capture a district. Whoever captures a district will respawn there instead of in the sewers. Additionally, a bonus of 33 percent on Tel Var stones in the city is granted for each captured district. Therefore, anyone who can capture all six districts can secure a Tel Var bonus of 200 percent!
The battles are set to become faster
By weakening the monsters within the city, the intention is to increase the play speed and focus more on PvP battles. Smaller groups of four players will also have better chances. For the future, the developers plan to improve performance and fix exploits more quickly.
Additionally, there are plans to introduce a Dwemer siege engine that exerts magical influences. Later in the year, cities in Cyrodiil that can be captured will be introduced. Additionally, fortresses will be able to be further developed. A rework of the equipment is also planned.
Wow, that’s explosive! It’s quite satisfying to see the annoying League of Legends champion Shaco burst like this.
In the current game mode One for All in the LoL game mode rotation, interesting scenarios can be created. For instance, you can show heroes you particularly dislike (Teemo is excluded here) what you think of them with the power of 5 Malphite ultimates or by using 5 Lux lasers. In this video, we have a particularly nice example for you!
A real clown fiesta in LoL!
In total, 15 Shacos are annihilated in this video by Kimimoto. The number 15 is reached because each Shaco (5) creates a copy of itself using its ultimate ability (10) and Illaoi extracts the soul from one Shaco with her Soul Harvest (E) (15). Then, pure damage just rains down on the clown faces!
Enjoy watching this very special video about League of Legends.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, some weapons and items have strange names. We will look at what lies behind these terms.
Today, we’re serving you delicious, wonderfully useless trivia that you can use to impress your clanmates in the next raid. Why is the “Zankapfel” called “Zankapfel”? Who or what is Khepri? And is there more behind Tlaloc than just a questionable tongue-twister?
If you’ve ever wondered about these crazy terms, you can now sit back, relax, and eagerly absorb the following information.
What Tlaloc, Zankapfel, and Co. are all about
We want to approach the absurd and dubious terms in Destiny by looking at the name of the respective item, as well as their flavor texts – the short descriptions from Bungie.
Tlaloc: Let’s start directly with the exotic scout rifle Tlaloc. It carries the flavor text “Unleash the storm. Hold nothing back.” and can only be equipped by Warlocks (Storm? Warlock? Stormcaller, aha!). The picture is completed with the note that Tlaloc was one of the most important gods of the Aztec pantheon, associated with all weather phenomena, such as rain, hail, snow, and indeed storm! Bungie evidently thought this through!
Cocytus SR4: This is also a scout rifle with a strange name. According to the flavor text, it drowns “your enemies in a sea of pain.” In Greek mythology, the Cocytus is a river of the underworld and is known as the “river of lamentation.” When the deceased drink from this river, they realize that their life in the upper world has ended and mourn their suffering.
Glatisant: This is a legendary auto rifle with the description: “You cannot catch it. But that’s not the point.” The Glatisant is also known as a quest beast and takes us into the mythical world of King Arthur. It has the head of a snake, the body of a leopard, the rear of a lion, and the legs of a stag. What went wrong there is unknown. In any case, it lives “to be hunted, not to be caught.” The Glatisant symbolizes the desire for adventure, without knowing exactly where the journey will lead.
Zankapfel: The Zankapfel is an impulse rifle with the short flavor text “For the fairest one.” Here we again find ourselves in Greek mythology, where the Zankapfel is known as the golden “apple of discord.” During a wedding, the goddess of discord, Eris, threw this apple with the inscription “For the fairest one” among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, leading to a dispute regarding who the apple belonged to. Eris did this out of anger because she was not invited to the wedding.
In Greek mythology, Eris is the goddess of discord and known for her “Zankapfel.” In Destiny, there is also an Eris who constantly runs around with a spherical thing. Coincidence?
By the way: Eris is the goddess of discord and strife, often depicted as a hobbling, shriveled woman. Only when she manages to stir envy and hatred among humans does she blossom into her true form, growing into gigantic size and beauty.
Some Guardians still don’t trust Eris in Destiny, just like Cayde-6. Although she has helped us in the fight against powerful enemies so far, who knows how her role will develop in the future. Will she bloom into her “true form”? She is always depicted with a glowing green orb in her hands… is this perhaps a reference to the “apple of discord”?
Tao Hua Yuan: Behind this pretty name lies a sniper rifle with the additional text: “One day the flowers will bloom again.” Tao Hua Yuan is Chinese for “Peach Garden of Immortality” and represents a utopia of a land full of joy and abundance.
Khepris Stachel: This is a pair of gauntlets for the Hunter with the flavor text: “The wound is not so deep, but it is there – and that is enough.” Chepre, or in English Khepri, is an ancient Egyptian deity symbolizing the sunrise and the morning sun. He is usually depicted as a scarab or as a man with a scarab head.
The Fermi Solution: The Fermi Solution is a ship from the Dead Orbit and is labeled: “We are not alone.” This term takes us into nuclear physics: The nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi was known for making good estimates despite a lack of information. A Fermi problem is a problem for which there is practically no available data. A solution to the Fermi problem can therefore only be attempted with general knowledge and common sense.
Phew! The names of the items in Destiny take us from Greek mythology to nuclear physics, from the Aztecs to Chinese utopian thoughts. Bungie has apparently gathered quite a wealth of knowledge about the world in Destiny, which sometimes only becomes apparent upon closer inspection.
At this point, we would like to thank our reader Flying Horseman for the groundwork for this article! Thank you!
Getting revenge on a rival tribe in ARK is sometimes not the most exciting option. A small raid is enough!
Large tribes with their massive bases in ARK: Survival Evolved invite the opportunity to tear down these fortresses to secure materials and give the opposing tribe a piece of their mind. After a rival tribe stole the Doedicurus “Dunky” from YouTuber Pognog, they decided against a large war and instead chose a stealthy method: a break-in to free the captured dino.
Equipped with a grappling hook, Pognag set off and narrowly avoided multiple dangers – including overheating (they could have been more prepared). Nevertheless, the video amusingly shows the “stories” that unfold in ARK time and again.
