In Destiny Bungie has announced three more live streams.
The “This week at bungie” was released this week on Friday. The main topic was the planned change and thus improvement in melee combat. Bungie reminds that on Tuesday evening the switch will be flipped here and the new rules will take effect. Players do not need to pay any further attention, they say. If anything seems strange to them, they should provide feedback.
Meanwhile, they want to stand out again with live streams on Twitch on Wednesdays and have announced three more in May:
On May 11, the artists behind Destiny will be discussed. They will broadcast a discussion with the artists responsible for the concepts behind Destiny’s world, its characters, and weapons.
On May 18, the focus will be on King’s Fall. Developers will raid while a designer and a story expert comment on the events.
On May 25, they will dive into the Crucible and let people talk about the PvP maps that were built by them.
The presentation of new content is expected by the community for E3 in June. Bungie says nothing about that at the moment.

The new PvE MMO Pantheon by Brad McQuaid offers old school ideas in a modern guise and fully focuses on group content.
Several weeks ago, we reported to you that Daybreak Games has officially discontinued its work on EverQuest Next (EQNext). While for some this was sad news, it is a glimmer of hope for ‘old school PvE’ and EverQuest fans, as one project has particularly benefited from this: Pantheon – Rise of the Fallen, the new game from EverQuest and Vanguard creator Brad McQuaid.
During an interview on the sidelines of PAX East, Brad McQuaid explained that after Sony Online Entertainment was bought and renamed to Daybreak, he had the opportunity to buy the rights to Vanguard and revive the game.
However, he decided against it. Because “as proud as I am of EverQuest and Vanguard,” said McQuaid, “we are in the year 2016 and we feel within the team the urge to move the genre forward and do not just want to revive an old game.” Because even if the Pantheon team brings back a variety of older mechanics and ideas from the first generation of MMOs, the game is not an emulator. “We are focusing on a range of new and innovative mechanics that will make Pantheon a new game, our game.”
The ‘Holy Quaternity’ – from three to four!
At the beginning, there will be twelve classes, nine playable races, and three major cities where players can start. These are located on three different continents, in various zones on which the studio, according to McQuaid, is currently working, with the Unity engine and its asset store ensuring that the team makes relatively quick progress.
The 12 classes of the game are built around the so-called ‘Quaternity’ of tanks, damage dealers, crowd controllers, and healers, the four roles of the class system. In addition to classes that specialize solely in one of the four roles, there will also be a number of hybrid classes. These will be significantly more complex, but also considerably weaker in specific areas. According to McQuaid, the team will keep a close eye on the balance of the individual classes.
The game world itself is also a focus for the team. It is intended to be much more incorporated into the game than we are used to. On the one hand, it will serve as a ‘quest giver’, where hints for new adventures can be discovered, similar to Skyrim and other single-player RPGs. Whether it’s a burned wagon by the side of the road, a note in the pocket of a slain foe, or a random encounter on the way: all of this can serve as inspiration for a new adventure.
Generally, the world is supposed to offer players a lot of challenges. In addition to weather and climate effects, such as storms sweeping through the landscape, there will also be regions of complete darkness, places where poisonous vapors rise, or areas that drain mana or energy from specific classes, as well as places where using any form of magic is impossible, etc. This requires a lot of attention, flexibility, and especially teamwork from the players. According to Brad McQuaid, this is the third major focus of Pantheon.
Playing together and not just alongside!
Older players who discovered the genre before World of Warcraft will surely remember that player interaction was an essential part of every MMORPG.
Reasons for this included the almost exclusive group content, the dependence on certain classes with fixed roles, the greater importance of crafting, and the absence of auction houses. All of this is intended to be offered by Pantheon to players, and of course, the infamous ‘corpse runs’ of the past should not be missing.
The majority of the game is group content designed for small groups of 6-8 players; a number that could still change during testing, according to McQuaid. Forming permanent groups is not necessary, as the game will offer many possibilities for “pick-up grouping”. Forming groups will be facilitated, among other things, by a mentoring system that allows higher-level players to assist other players and rewards them for doing so.
Rumored to be dead: the downtime!
But another feature that was already declared dead is what the Pantheon team wants to bring back: the downtime! The idea behind it is to give players moments of inactivity, a chance to talk with other players, trade, and discuss strategies, because “without any reason to take a short break and wait (and talk), socializing between players is hindered,” emphasizes Brad McQuaid.
However, by ‘downtime’, the team does not mean artificially stretching content through unnecessary pauses to make the content seem larger than it actually is. How this will actually be implemented in Pantheon remains open, McQuaid stated.
Rather, the developers’ goal is to make gaming sessions generally shorter than what was once accustomed to in old school MMORPGs. A time frame of two hours should suffice for almost all challenges in the game. Longer sessions in the form of five or even ten-hour raids are, according to McQuaid, no longer compatible with the lives of most players.
First gameplay impressions from the pre-pre-alpha
So players can already get a rough picture of the future game, Brad McQuaid decided during GDC to present an initial gameplay video, repeatedly emphasizing that the footage shown is unfiltered and raw pre-pre-alpha material and many elements are not yet in place.
https://youtu.be/INd9SfIbWN4
The video already makes a good impression, but also shows where the journey is headed, as the game is clearly aimed at fans of the first EverQuest and Vanguard with its group-centric content.

The bulk of the rewards can be earned by players through bounties from Brother Vance. Rewards are also available for achieving 5 and 7 victories on the map. These are now random.
The big pot of honey awaits at the end of the “Flawless” rainbow bridge on Mercury. However, few will likely cross the bridge: 9 victories without a loss must be on the paper. Buffs on the passage permit help, but 7-1 is also a hard-to-reach record, especially as opponents get stronger with each round.

Spray logos in Overwatch are a nice gimmick. Sometimes they can also lead to quite funny moments.
Overwatch offers players various customization options. Besides the “usual” things in this genre, such as skins and profile pictures, players can also unlock emotes and voicelines that different heroes can perform during a match. Part of this customization also includes various spray logos that can also be earned through the progression system.
For each character, you can set a custom logo in the hero gallery. Most logos can also be purchased using in-game credits (which can be found in loot boxes). However, for some, the completion of certain achievements is necessary.
After that, you can cover the map with your spray logo. On PC, you just need to press the “T” key, while on consoles, you can use the “up” button on the D-pad.
But is spraying in Overwatch just a pointless gimmick? One might think so! A well-timed spray logo can turn a good “Play of the Game” into an epic moment, as this example impressively demonstrates.

The official presentation of Battlefield 5 is scheduled for the next few hours, but leaks once again take the best part ahead. The new Battlefield seems to take place in an alternative World War I scenario and is likely to be titled “Battlefield 1”.
The release could be scheduled for October 18. Colleagues from vg247 have pieced this together with “Fuzzy Logic” – based on the idea that “One would hardly release too close to CoD” and “8-16” can be seen at the bottom – the second half of the date is covered.
All this information comes from a “retail leak” on reddit, where promo material was visible.
Moreover, Xbox Live mistakenly also dropped an important piece of information. That’s where the image we used as the cover image comes from.
Of course, none of this is officially confirmed yet, especially the release date should be treated with the utmost caution. This evening, we must await the official Twitch stream from EA. Official information should be provided there.

In the shared-world shooter The Division, a music video has been released that takes a jab at the Dark Zone. The fan-made hit is well received and likely has the potential to become a catchy tune.
Youtuber ArcadeCloud has uploaded a parody of Drake’s “Hotline Bling”. In this title, he seemingly addresses his bad experiences in the Dark Zone, in the PvP area of The Division. You should see and hear for yourself:

According to the lyrics, the Youtuber used to go solo into the Dark Zone to grab loot. However, the NPCs and rogue agents often caused him problems, causing him to lose his loot repeatedly. Therefore, he questions whether it is really worth it to go into the DZ. He would only be killed by “low-level jerks” anyway. Solo, you can’t really play The Division, except for the campaign. He concludes: “Right now, I hate the game.”.
In the community, the parody is well received, and the ratings are mostly positive. Massive has also caught wind of the video: The community manager Natchai Stappers considers it a “great parody”, and adds: “You could say he did it for the views.” With that, he playfully refers to the title of the latest album “Views” by Canadian rapper Drake.
What do you think of the music video about the Dark Zone?

Yesterday, we reported that the SF trailer of Infinite Warfare is racking up a massive number of dislikes on YouTube. In the comments, fans are outraged about the space setting, expecting something “more grounded” from Call of Duty. Also, the graphics of the shown footage seem to not convince many users.
Meanwhile, over 440,000 users have given a thumbs down, while nearly 200,000 have left a positive rating. This “mass dislike campaign” has taken on unimaginable proportions, with one user already referring to it as “Call of Duty: Infinite Dislikes” and receiving praise and agreement from many.
Now, the publisher Activision has commented on this case, emphasizing that one can draw positives from the many dislikes.

Activision Sees Positives in the Mass Dislikes for Infinite Warfare
During a conference with investors and analysts, Activision addressed the enormous number of dislikes for the reveal trailer of CoD: Infinite Warfare. As Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, pointed out, one must love this passion of gamers.
This is an industry like no other, and a fan base like no other, and we love that our fans treat this franchise like their own and have such strong opinions about it. There are not many entertainment franchises on Earth that can generate such passion as Call of Duty. That’s a good thing.
According to Hirshberg, the “Modern Warfare” remastered version was made for nostalgic fans who love the “boots-on-the-ground” style. Call of Duty also has millions of people in the community who want to experience new, innovative things every year, and Infinite Warfare delivers just that. To avoid splitting the community, Activision will therefore deliver both in a bundle this year.
Hirshberg is also not worried that this year’s Call of Duty could be a failure. The “likes per view” are the highest a CoD has ever had for a new reveal trailer.
He finally refers to past events: Black Ops II was the first in the CoD series to lead us into the future, which at that time also led to most dislikes for a CoD reveal trailer. After that, it became their most successful game ever. Hirshberg about this:
What we know for sure: If we had only ever done what worked in the past, and had never taken creative risks, this franchise would not exist.
One should only worry about the day when they stop trying new things.
Lucio is already being referred to as the “best supporter” of Overwatch . In this hero guide, we provide some basic tips for the character.
Lucio – Music heals and accelerates
Of the numerous heroes available in Overwatch, Lucio is arguably one of the most popular healers. This is mainly because the music fanatic heals mainly without really having to do anything actively – simply because it is a passive aura that supports him and his allies. Moreover, he also deals a fair amount of damage and has a strong control effect – no wonder he is already referred to on many sites as “the best hero” that should be in every team.
If you want to succeed with Lucio, you should pay attention to some basic tips and mechanics.
Lucio has 2 auras that he can switch with the shift key. One grants all team members additional speed, and the other heals all nearby allies. Switching the auras in time is the key to successful healing.
With the E key, you can temporarily “overload” the respective aura and massively increase the effect. This makes the speed bonus greater, which is perfect for starting with the whole team from the spawn point. When overloading the healing aura
For the auras to affect allies, they must be in line of sight to Lucio! Walls and other obstacles block the aura – Lucio must always be in the fray to demonstrate maximum efficiency.
The Sound Barrier (the ultimate) grants all nearby allies a massive shield that decays over a few seconds. The shield is so strong that it is perfect for overwhelming seemingly insurmountable opponents. Always use it when a critical point in the game is reached – such as the fight for the last meters of a payload or the last percent of a control point.
Learn to time the “boop”, your right-click ability, correctly. Depending on the map being played, it can be quite devastating as you can simply knock enemies into the abyss, which often results in a multi-kill. This short video shows how to easily take out a superior enemy force – and that as a supporter.

Lucio can not only “slip along” walls with the spacebar but also jump up them by repeatedly jumping quickly. This makes it even possible to save yourself from a pit or to overcome barriers that only characters like Pharah or Genji could normally climb.
A really good Lucio also regularly hits with his weapon, where headshots deal devastating damage. But music just goes best directly into the ear.

The latest heroine in the MOBA League of Legends (LoL) is considered not sexy enough by some players – The developer has now clearly expressed their opinions!
Just a few days ago, the teaser video for the new League of Legends heroine Taliyah was released, and it already sparked many discussions. Many LoL fans compared the heroine visually to “Korra” from the series “The Legend of Korra”.
However, such nice words are quickly overshadowed by less friendly comments, as can be found in the comment section under the YouTube video.
Fans demand more visible “body” on the new LoL champion
In the comment section of Taliyah’s YouTube video, some users called the champion “ugly” and “not sexy” – “Such heroes should be avoided,” it is even said. Daniel Klein, the champion designer for Taliyah, made it clear on Twitter that not every female hero needs to showcase her visual charms. With some heroes like Ahri, it fits the “theme” when she shows more skin, as her strength lies in seducing other heroes.
Also, recently released female heroes like Rek’Sai, who as a monster has nothing to do with “sexy,” or Illaoi, who wields tentacles, have been accepted by the community. There are already 33 (counted!) women in LoL where their visual charms are in the foreground.
Twitter @Danielzklein
Additionally, he stated that they would also design a heroine in the future who is “sexy.” But not because the fans want it, but because it fits her theme. Taliyah is a girl who has trouble protecting her loved ones without them getting hurt. In her story it does not say, “and by the way, I make myself sexy for my date in Shurima…”
Here, Daniel Klein makes it clear again that Taliyah looks the way she does because it makes sense. If anyone thinks that this is a clear stance and that actually no one should have anything to complain about, they don’t know the Twitter users:
Some people always have something to complain about…
We have dealt with the change in LoL regarding the body shapes of female heroes in this article:
In Destiny, Activision Blizzard discusses current numbers and the future of the MMO shooter. New content is expected to be more consistent.
The large publisher Activision Blizzard recently presented its quarterly figures and revealed information about Destiny. According to reports, the MMO shooter currently has nearly 30 million registered players, which means an increase of 5 million compared to the figures from November 2015. According to the company, each of these 30 million Guardians has spent an average of over 100 hours in the Destiny universe.
This enormous number of players should not, however, be equated with the number of copies sold. Some Guardians may have acquired the game secondhand. Moreover, the question arises as to how many of these accounts are still actively used. Nonetheless, this number mentioned by Activision is definitely impressive.
April update has revived Destiny, content is expected to arrive more consistently in the future
According to Eric Hirshberg, Activision’s Publishing Executive, the April update has revived the player base and has been very well received in the community. Overall, the engagement of the Guardians is “remarkably strong,” especially considering the releases of other competitors in this genre. Hirshberg states:
The passion and loyalty of our fans is something we do not take for granted.
Therefore, they will work side by side with Bungie to ensure that they can deliver a more consistent supply of “great content” in the future.
The next big content drop will be a new expansion in the fall of this year. Whether and how the time until then will be filled remains uncertain. We can expect the sequel to Destiny in 2017.
In the last quarter, which ended on March 31, Activision Blizzard reportedly achieved a net revenue of 908 million dollars, setting a new record for the company in this quarter. For comparison: last year they recorded 703 million dollars in the same three months.
Patch 240 of ARK: Survival Evolved has added several new features to the PC version of the game. The focus is on the three new creatures that players can tame or hunt to gain valuable allies or simply to acquire more resources.
The Arthropluera is a rideable, massive variant of the millipede. As if that weren’t disgusting enough, the creature has also been given a poison attack, allowing it to spout acid at medium range.
The Sabertooth Salmon appears in schools underwater and attacks unsuspecting creatures to slowly drain their blood. Those brave enough to take on the animals will be rewarded with high-quality food – premium meat awaits the hunters.

Significantly less dangerous, but really cute is the Lystrosaurus. It can perform tricks, but is not much help in combat. Nevertheless, it is useful: once tamed, the player receives a bonus on the experience points gained.
In addition, there is also new weaponry. With primitive bolas, enemies can be attacked and incapacitated from a distance. A hit causes the affected players to fall to the ground; flying dinosaurs are also forced to the ground.
Those seeking the ultimate thrill should grab their tribe mates and head into battle against the Megapithecus. According to the developers, the massive gorilla is considered the “toughest fight ever” and presents players with new, exciting challenges. A first look at the battle and all the creatures can be found above in the trailer.
The new hero shooter Overwatch is in beta. We ask: Who are the best heroes?
“Hero shooter” is the genre that now sees Battleborn and Overwatch as two new titles in May. Overwatch has been playable for everyone for just over 36 hours. It’s time to focus on the “heroes”, as they play such an important role in the genre.
And so the players are already discussing: Isn’t this one overpowered? Is this here a “deadly combination” that you just can’t do anything against? Or is the hero only strong in a clique and everyone else thinks he’s easy prey? Who is actually the strongest hero?
Who is the best hero in Overwatch?
Take part in our Overwatch survey, where we ask you about your strongest heroes in the categories Defensive, Offensive, Tank, Support, and your favorite role. The survey is beautifully designed, handy, and very simple. No registration is required at all.
Normally, the survey tool should tell you after your vote how you stand in the trend, how others have voted. If it doesn’t do that for you, it could be due to the fact that you are browsing incognito or using certain apps.

If you want, you can share your decision with us in the comments. Which hero is the best suited in your tasks in the respective role and why? Maybe you describe a situation from your gaming experience when you realized: This is my hero! Or you tell us how you were caught by an enemy who played his hero optimally, so that you simply found no means against him.
We are excited about the results that have emerged from everyone’s first impressions. Surely they will change in the coming months.

Throwing five Ziggs ultimates at a horde of little Teemos? This is possible this weekend at League of Legends from May 6th!
The popular game mode in League of Legends (LoL) is back, where the whole team votes on which champion “each” player will play. So each team will have the same champion five times! It’s clear that this game mode means a lot of fun. Moreover, it’s a good way to practice dodging skillshots when suddenly 5 Nidalee spears are thrown your way.
This is how the One for All mode works in LoL
Let’s quickly refresh the memories before you dive into the fun mode in League of Legends.
Once you’re in the champion selection with your team, you can vote for a champion you want to play. The champion with the most votes will be played by each player. In case of a tie, a random draw will decide which of the selected champions will be used. Of course, creativity counts too: Do you want to form a hook chain with 5 Blitzcranks or a particularly long chain reaction with Gangplank’s barrels? Choose what you want!

Of course you can also earn mastery points for your champions in this mode again. Additionally, you can receive chests and keys for the Hextech Crafting in LoL as rewards.
When does the One for All mode start in LoL?
The mode is expected to start today around 2 PM (Riot is not so precise with time) and ends early Monday morning. By the way, since the last One for All event, there are the following new champions or champion reworks:
Illaoi
Jhin
Aurelion Sol
Fiora
Poppy
Shen
Taric
Do you already have interesting plans for which champion should definitely be in a team 5 times?

Rank 1 with a Greater Rift of level 91 and still time left – The pros know how to play Diablo 3!
Many players of Blizzard’s Diablo 3 dream of standing in the rankings. It’s clear that this is not particularly easy, as the competition is fierce. Players like Alkaizer have made a name for themselves in past seasons by regularly achieving high ranks or even taking 1st place in the rankings.
1st Place in the Rankings – Wizard GR 91
In this video you can see what such a large portal looks like when played at a high level. Even if it looks easy how Alkaizer sweeps through the portal, it takes a lot of skill.

In this, the little goblin Grim controls the Bastion-lookalike robot. This robot can protect itself from enemy fire using a shield, slow down opponents, or push them back. And when his adversaries have had enough and want to retreat, he has a homing projectile available as his ultimate ability, which pierces through all objects and units that are not heroes.
Additionally, his pulse cannon deals bonus damage every 8 seconds due to its passive ability.

Don’t forget that all Paragon enthusiasts who have signed up for the Open Beta by May 1st will have the gates and servers open from Thursday through Sunday for a first look at this MOBA. If you are among the chosen ones, expect a corresponding code in your email inbox.
If Early Access players can break away from the also ongoing Overwatch Open Beta, they will receive double experience. So make sure to manage your time well.

In My MMO, we want to know: What do you think of Overwatch?
Since yesterday morning (May 5, 1:00 AM), Overwatch is in open beta. Until May 9 at 7:00 PM, everyone interested has the chance to try the game for free. We have explained how the download works and what system requirements are needed here. The open beta includes the full scope that will be available at launch – except for minor bug fixes perhaps. A total of 21 heroes are available to choose from, with whom you can have a great time fighting on various objective-based maps.
This time we want to know from you: What do you think of Overwatch? Are you enjoying the open beta? Are you playing with friends or solo?
Additionally, Overwatch often produces thrilling battles at the end of a map. The last meters of a payload are the most exciting, and there is often a “final showdown” over several minutes, where desperate attempts are made to push the darn train the last few centimeters.
I don’t hide it: I already really like Overwatch in open beta, although this is only true because I can play it with friends. But if I can convince one or two of them to keep playing even after the game’s release, then Blizzard has probably “hooked” me again.
But enough about me, let’s talk about you! How do you like Overwatch so far? What do you like and what do you think could be improved? Or are you completely avoiding the game? Let us know in the comments and engage in a lively discussion!
The weapon tunings from SWTOR will not only be available from cartel packs in the future. All players should be able to obtain tunings through “regular gameplay”.
Weapon tuning soon available through “regular” gameplay
This is therefore – more or less – a complete feature that is only available to buyers of cartel coins, i.e., those spending real money. It’s no wonder that many players have gathered in the forum to complain about this system. The community manager Eric Musco responded right away and answered some questions from the player base.
Are weapon tunings rarer than other rare items [in the cartel market]?
“Weapon tunings are just as common as other rare items in a pack. Sometimes there are particularly rare items, such as the unstable lightsaber, but weapon tunings are not among them. In the future, we will add particularly rare items to a new category: Platinum.”
Will weapon tunings only be available on the cartel market?
“Although we have introduced the system through the cartel market, we have plans for the future to implement weapon tunings that are not part of the cartel market. However, future packs on the market are likely to continue including weapons.”
Additionally, Musco promises that there will be more weapon models with slots in the future. Old weapons should also be able to be enhanced by tunings in the near future. Players are encouraged to suggest further weapons in the forum that should support this system.
