In the MMO shooter Destiny there are fresh videos of the week. This time they are truly spectacular.
With the patch in April came the ability to switch to a “hudless” mode. No interface is displayed. While the first Guardians immediately said, “Alright, new challenge – flawless Trials of Osiris without an interface,” the actual purpose is different, as seen in this beautiful montage:

As reported by MassivelyOP, Lord of the Rings Online celebrated its ninth birthday and chatted with fans during a six-hour live stream.
The next goal on the path to Mount Doom is “Mordor”. There, the heroes are set to venture next. It was probably hinted between the lines that the team is currently working on “Minas Morgul”. However, this was not confirmed.
The fans want to know: Will you get the license again? Or is 2017 the end?
They have completed expansions, and no new classes or races are planned. Lord of the Rings Online will continue to be developed with content updates. That is the plan. They are working on a friendlier vision of Minas Tirith, improving some of the cinematics, and the next raid will include at least 5 bosses.
Fans mainly had one question on their minds: Your license expires in 2017. Will you get it extended? Will we still be able to play Lord of the Rings Online after 2017? Turbine could not or did not want to answer that. Fans have to be content with the statement: “We’ll address that when the time comes.”
Harshest punishment for toxic players – permanent ban at League of Legends (LoL)!
For a long time, League of Legends has had to deal with the reputation that the community can often be particularly negative, ruining the fun of the game for other LoL fans.
A LoL streamer became known for such toxic behavior (insults, intentional feeding, etc.) and built his fanbase through it. However, he will no longer be able to express this behavior in the well-known MOBA League of Legends, as he has now received a permanent ban.
Bad reputation among other LoL streamers
Tyler1 has recently built a reputation for being the poster child for toxic behavior in League of Legends. Until recently, he never had particularly many viewers – but the viewership skyrocketed when it became known that he enjoys insulting other players or trying to ruin their game.
Many viewers found this so interesting that Tyler1 now has over 99,000 followers on his Twitch.TV channel. However, he did not have a good reputation among other LoL streamers, as they saw the danger of others taking Tyler as an example to become popular through vulgar behavior themselves.

Not only among the players of League of Legends, but also among Riot Games employees, Tyler1’s reputation spread. After repeated warnings, they ultimately took action and banned his account indefinitely.
Screenshot from the LoL forums
By the way, he can no longer “simply create a new account” and start over – all future attempts to play LoL have been prohibited by Riot Games and will be punished with a ban.
His last words in the game were: “Shit fucking team” – ironic, right?

In The Division, the M1A Series 1 is one of the best weapons in the game. We outline reasons why this marksman rifle is superior to other snipers.
In Ubisoft’s MMO shooter, sniper rifles can be generally divided into two categories:
High-damage sniper rifles with lower magazine size and fire rate (like the M44).
Sniper rifles with lower damage, but large magazines and high fire rates. The reload speed is also higher (such as the SCAR-H).
According to Arekkz Gaming, the M1A Series 1 of high-end quality is the exception to this rule. This sniper cannot be clearly classified into a category – as it combines the best attributes of both classes.
Is the M1A the best sniper rifle in The Division?
The YouTuber and “The Division” expert Arekkz believes that the High-End First Wave M1A is the best sniper in the game. He cites three reasons:
The M1A Series 1 has a solidmagazine size (base value: 10)
It has a high fire rate (base value: 300)
Moreover, it has a “truck-like” impact
These are the specific stats:
These base stats alone would currently make the M1A Series 1 the best sniper in the game, which is why every agent relying on sniper rifles should try it at least once.
With the right mods, you can further enhance the M1A Series 1. An extended magazine, which allows up to 19 shots, is especially recommended. This way you can keep enemies under continuous fire.
The talents of the M1A Series 1 are random. Watch out for the following useful talents:
Balanced: The weapon achieves maximum precision faster when shouldered. This is the most important talent, as it allows the already low recoil of the M1A to be almost neglected. This allows you to fire numerous headshots in a row, as the weapon hardly deviates.
Brutal: Headshot damage is increased by x%.
Deadly: Critical hit damage is increased by 10-30%.
The M1A Series 1 excels in both PvE and PvP. As a sniper rifle, it is especially useful for long-range combat; you can take out enemies from a distance before they even realize what is happening. However, according to the YouTuber, the M1A is also valuable in critical situations when you are overwhelmed by enemies: Thanks to the high fire rate and stability, you can pump it full of bullets at close and medium range.

If you want to wander through the post-apocalypse of The Division with this currently best sniper rifle, you should try to obtain it in the near future. Massive has already announced weapon balance changes, which will likely come with the May update. Which weapons and weapon types will be revised is still unknown. However, many agents would be surprised if the M1A were not nerfed.
Furthermore, the outstanding talent Balanced will be adjusted with update 1.2, as confirmed by community developer Yannick Banchereau.
We show you in the video guide how the auction house and NPC trading work in Black Desert.
Trade Exchange and Long Journeys – Earning Money in Black Desert
Black Desert is a quite complex game, where almost every aspect of the MMORPG might need its own guide. How nice that we have our YouTuber Refaser to explain the most important mechanics of the game and give tips on how you can dive into the various systems. In this video, he mainly addresses how trading works in the game – both in the auction house and with NPCs.

The auction house of Black Desert is rather classic and corresponds to what most players already know from other MMORPGs. Crafting materials, equipment, and other items can be sold to other players through the trade exchange. While many games require addons for this, Black Desert already provides important information about the items by default. What is the current highest bid and the lowest? With several data points, you can estimate how much profit can be made from the surplus items.
Trading through the auction house in Black Desert is not as free as players are used to. A precautionary measure: To keep gold sellers away from Black Desert, items can only be sold within relatively narrow price ranges.
Completely independent of the auction house, there is also the option to trade goods with certain NPCs in the world. The basic principle is quite simple. You travel to Village A, buy any goods at a low price, then walk (or better ride) to Village B and sell all that stuff for a nice profit. If you also want to increase your strength attribute, you should take some foot marches and bring the goods from place to place on foot – because this way you will get stronger by itself and can then carry more.
It’s faster with a horse, while more experienced traders quickly switch first to the donkey and later to wagons.
You can find more news, articles, and guides about the MMORPG on our Black Desert game page.

Fight on the ground and in space in CoD: Infinite Warfare
The game is supposed to introduce players to breathtaking, previously unseen environments, with new weapons and innovative character traits. The battles will take place both on the ground and in space, as you control “high-speed space fighters.” As the captain of your own warship, you must face an unyielding enemy.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will take players to places they have never seen before in the CoD series, said the head of Infinity Ward Studio Dave Stohl. The futuristic setting offers players an epic journey, with “incredible gameplay innovations” and new experiences. Nevertheless, the game aims to return to the roots of the series and focus on massive battlefields set against a cinematic and gripping military story.
Below is the official reveal trailer of CoD: Infinite Warfare:

Here you can get the cool new wings in Diablo 3 – Patch 2.4.1.
The new Season 6 in Diablo 3 has just started a few days ago. Especially sought after are not only the new companions, but also the beautiful wings that can now be unlocked for your characters. Unlocking them isn’t that hard if you know where to look. Of course, you will have to kill a few enemies, but it is definitely worth the effort!
Cosmic Wings in Diablo 3

To get these cosmic wings, you need to go to the county of Launebach. As you can see in the picture, this is the Pony Level, which can be opened by a small Rainbow Goblin.
However, you don’t have the wings for sure yet, because a rare enemy named Princess Lillian must appear in this Pony Level. She will then gift you the Cosmic Wings. The item is displayed in white text, rather inconspicuously. So keep your eyes open!
Falcon Wings in Diablo 3

The Falcon Wings are a bit easier to obtain than the cosmic wings. All you have to do is teleport to the Gardens of Hope (first level) in Act 4 and search the entire map for a mysterious chest.
You can also do this as a group of 4 to save time. Once you find the chest (and haven’t opened it yet), you can invite your friends to your group so they can also get the wings.
Watch out for this chest!
Dark Bat Wings in Diablo 3

To get these bat wings, you need some luck in your Nephalem Rifts. For at the end, the Rift boss “Tethrys” must appear for her to give you these wings as a reward. It is unknown how high the drop chance is, so it is advisable to aim for a high torment level.
As with all wings so far, these will only be displayed in white text, so you should pay special attention to the loot.
Attention: As of now (02.05.2016), these wings are only available on the PTR and cannot yet be obtained on the live servers!

To wear these wings from Lord Culsu on your back, you need to kill Maghda in Act 2, who is located in the city of Alcarnus.
Attention: As of now (02.05.2016), these wings are only available on the PTR and cannot yet be obtained on the live servers!
Osseous Grasp Wings in Diablo 3

These special wings are obtained from the boss Adria, who is located in the ruins of Corvus in Act 5. The drop chance is said to be relatively low, so you should definitely switch to a high torment level.
Attention: As of now (02.05.2016), these wings are only available on the PTR and cannot yet be obtained on the live servers!
Kokabiel Wings in Diablo 3

Now the super bosses of Diablo 3 come into play, as you must kill Maghda as a super boss in the realm of Discord to get this loot. Here, the drop chance also depends on the difficulty level.
Attention: As of now (02.05.2016), these wings are only available on the PTR and cannot yet be obtained on the live servers!
Not all wings unlocked in Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.1 yet
As you can see, only 2 of the planned 6 wings are currently unlocked in the live version of Diablo 3. It is quite possible that more wings will be found in the future.
There are also the wings of Mercy, which can be unlocked in connection with Blizzard’s “Overwatch”. If you want to collect more cosmetic enhancements that make your character even a bit more special, you should check out our Pet Guide for Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.1.

On “Star Wars Day,” nice offers and bonuses await at SWTOR and Battlefront . Learn more about it in this article.
On May 4th, it is again “Star Wars Day” (in English “May the Fourth” sounds like “May the Force,” so in German: “Möge die Macht…”) and this is the reason for most games of this franchise to release some bonuses and discounts. The strongest attractions of the Star Wars universe right now are “Star Wars: The Old Republic” and “Star Wars: Battlefront,” which therefore celebrate this day in a special way.
Chapter 1 of Knights of the Fallen Empire for free and bonus companion
Star Wars: The Old Republic offers a trial offer for undecided players. Those who have not yet set foot in the current expansion “Knights of the Fallen Empire” can expand their account on the official SWTOR site and thus gain free access to the 1st story chapter until May 30th, to experience the entry into the epic story surrounding the eternal empire.
Furthermore, all players who log in until May 4th can look forward to a new companion. The M4-I6 astromech droid, styled after Zakuul, will arrive in players’ mailboxes on May 5th.
Ultimately, from May 3rd to May 10th, there is again a double XP weekend, where, as the name suggests, the experience points gain is doubled. This allows reaching the maximum level even faster.
Play Battlefront on PC for free and grab credits
For Star Wars: Battlefront, EA has also come up with something very special – at least when the preferred platform is PC. On May 4th, the game can be downloaded via the Origin software and then tested for 4 hours with all features before access disappears again. Those who have not yet gotten an impression of the shooter should take advantage of this opportunity.
Additionally, on all platforms, there is a bonus package. Those who log in on May 4th can look forward to 4,444 credits, which can then be spent freely on upgrades or skins.
In Final Fantasy XIV, Patch 3.3 has been announced. And it is significant.
Last Friday, there was one of the feared and beloved Live Producer Letters for Final Fantasy XIV. It’s often like a lucky dip with many relatively unstructured pieces of information about the fantasy MMORPG. This takes place in Japanese, then there are translations, flip charts, videos, and surprises. The folks from Square Enix go through numerous topics. This time, they had the CEO of a partner company there, who interviewed the head of FF14 on stage before they announced a collaboration.
It is always a challenge to filter out the most important information. Let’s give it a try:
The release date for Patch 3.3 has not yet been set. The timeframe seems to be towards mid/late June. Officially, this is not confirmed.
The name of the patch is “Revenge of the Horde.” Over the weekend, the Twitter accounts of Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft had a little debate. In World of Warcraft, the “Horde” is one of the two playable factions. However, in Final Fantasy, they mean the “Dravanian Horde.”
For that, “The Aquapolis,” an 8-player treasure dungeon, will debut with 3.3. Players have a 20% chance to land there when using a Dragonskin map.
With 3.3, new gear for crafters and gatherers will also be available, a raid finder will be added, and Final Fantasy XIV will introduce a feature that recommends “gear” to players. This should make job switching easier.
If Pokemon were clocks, then … no idea, see for yourself
Additionally, Square Enix will collaborate with “Level 5’s” Yo-kai Watch series moving forward. It’s somewhat of a “Pokemon” concept if “Pokemon were clocks.” It will feature a flying mount, weapons for each class, and 13 minions.

On Tuesday, May 3, the Kickstarter campaign for the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria begins. In advance, the developers have a bit more to share about the game.
Chronicles of Elyria is aimed at a slightly older audience. Gamers who grew up with MMORPGs and want a hardcore gaming experience. However, they are aware that this generation of players does not have as much time to play nowadays as they did ten or fifteen years ago. They may have started a family, have a job, and children… All of this takes up time that is missing for gaming.
Get support from better players
In order to get the most out of their time and not feel at a disadvantage compared to those who simply have more time to play, they are introducing some systems. One of them is called “Bolstering.” If you are in a group of players who have higher levels and better skills than you, you will be boosted. As long as you are active in this group, your abilities are accordingly increased, so that you are always a valuable member of a party, even if you otherwise have little time to improve your character.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HtEnsVPuqw
Buy a new life with Story Points – “Earn to play”
Those who are online a lot can earn Story Points. These represent a type of achievement, which you receive when you complete important quests. Additionally, those who have accumulated a lot of fame in Chronicles of Elyria can get more Story Points. These points can be used to buy a new life. Normally, you buy “Sparks of Life” for real money when your character dies. Instead of money, you can use the collected Story Points.
The developers refer to the model as “Earn to play” and emphasize that time and money are two resources that should be considered “interchangeable”.
In two new videos, the developers of the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria also show how the aging process works and what the battles look like, which play out quite actively and quickly and resemble a dance.

In the last issue of “Mein-MMO asks”, we asked the question of all questions: Bungie’s Destiny or Ubisoft Massive’s The Division? Which MMO shooter will you be playing this weekend on your console?
And you are reliable: You answered us – and how you answered! Over 800 gamers have cast their votes on our Facebook page!
We were allowed to read hundreds of opinions, both on FB and in the comments section below the article. Some of them were short and precise, others wonderfully detailed, where it was a pleasure to learn your statement on the topic.
In the following, we show you how you voted on the question “Destiny or The Division?” We created two charts to present your opinions visually. Furthermore, we take a look at your comments to see how the results came about.
Destiny or The Division – What you are currently playing
Let us first look at the voting results from Facebook. Here you could show with emoticons whether you are currently playing Destiny (Wow emoticon) or The Division (Haha emoticon).The following results were recorded by Sunday, May 1st:
A total of 846 users participated.
Destiny: 430
The Division: 361
Others: 55
This pie chart shows at a glance that over 50% of all participants clearly identify with Destiny. But the result for The Division can also be showcased:
[wpdatachart id=1]
What our readers say in the comments
In the comments below the article, there was also a heated discussion about which MMO shooter currently convinces more and lures players into its world. Here the results were clearer:
[wpdatachart id=2]
Note: For the creation of this chart, over 200 comments were scrutinized, and a tally was kept of which game each user chose. Under “Others” are those who either play both games equally or currently put both on the shelf.
Nearly two-thirds of all users have favored Destiny, often deciding with the words “Definitely Destiny!” But how did this clear result come about?
Destiny is being played this week – not just because of Iron Banner
Three aspects were particularly emphasized in the comments that could explain this result:
Iron Banner is happening in Destiny this week:
As our reader Dave rightly points out, Iron Banner is currently happening in Destiny; certainly a reason why many users are currently playing Bungie’s MMO shooter more, as there are top weapons to grab from Lord Saladin.
marty is currently having “real fun” with Destiny as well, and he also cites Iron Banner as a reason. He only plays The Division occasionally in the evenings. In the end, he is very satisfied with both games.
Generally, in the comments, the pronounced PvP aspect of Destiny is often preferred to that of The Division. Apparently, the Crucible is more appealing to many players than the Dark Zone – not just when Iron Banner is taking place.
Destiny impresses with outstanding gunplay:
As TobiTobse Schumi mentions, the gunplay in Destiny is “comparatively good”. He cannot get warm with The Division in this respect. This opinion is also shared by Destiny Man and vvV AmNesiA Vvv. Dirk Wünnenberg could not get used to the third-person perspective and the gunplay of The Division, so he will remain loyal to Destiny.
Luphie says he loves the gunplay of Destiny; The Division did not convince him from the start. Flying Horseman finds the gunplay to be excellent as well, and he also appreciates the new features introduced in the April update.
The “basics” in Destiny are right. In The Division, Flying Horseman found the story entertaining and interesting, but then it quickly became monotonous for him.
The Division is plagued by too many bugs and exploits:
Our reader reptile chose Destiny because The Division is “simply still too buggy”; the glitches and cheats annoy him – like probably all other agents as well. He sees potential in The Division, but as long as these problems are not resolved, he will not be playing it anymore.
Also, Chariot1810 echoes this sentiment, adding that The Division was “mega fun” in the first playthrough, but “everything quickly lost its shine.” Who knows, maybe future updates can bring excitement back to the post-apocalypse.
Our reader Pascal V. was immediately captivated by Destiny. He still enjoys the MMO shooter today and ends his comment with “Long live Destiny!”
But The Division is also enjoyed:
Blackiceroosta clearly chooses The Division. He admits that it still has many problems at the moment, but it is “very fun to walk through the Dark Zone with the crew.” groovy666 also enjoys experiencing “the craziest situations” with his teammates in the DZ. So far, he has avoided the worst bugs.
Additionally, groovy666 points out – and I personally find this a remarkable opinion – that he finds it exciting to witness the evolution of The Division, to experience all the ups and downs, and to see how the developers address all the problems. This journey is definitely adventurous!
A positive aspect of The Division that is mentioned multiple times, such as by chevio, is the complex gear system of Ubisoft’s shared-world shooter. You have to think to realize certain builds, as there are so many ways to combine skills and talents.
Stan Patrick succinctly chooses The Division: The game simply captivated him, “and there seems to be no end.” However, something needs to be done about all the gameplay errors.
Finally, here are words from the community that portray both MMO shooters in a good light. As our reader Ace Ffm puts it:
I wouldn’t want to miss either, because these two games have opened up a great new shooter world for me that I didn’t know.
Hopefully, both MMO shooters will continue to bring us much joy in the future.
The MMORPG is generally regarded as a hidden gem due to its atmosphere and great stories. The launch in 2012 was poorly timed between Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2, and some clunky design decisions also hindered The Secret World’s success with the mass of players – and the development company also ran into difficulties.
In the meantime, the reputation of the quests and stories from TSW has been cemented as “excellent”, and Funcom has also revised and streamlined the entry experience. So it’s definitely recommended to take a look.
To celebrate the trial, TSW also received a new trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_HFb51WmhY
Issue 15 has already been announced. Unusually early for The Secret World standards. There is a reason: Issue 15 will be “recycled content”. It combines the 3 side missions Further Analysis, Love & Loathing, and The Last Pagan in this update. Anyone who has already purchased one of the 3 will receive Update 15 for free. A new investigative mission will also be added.
The idea of releasing game content through “side missions” does not seem to have worked. The content was played too little because players thought: Well, it’s just side missions. Therefore, Funcom wants to release them differently now to make them appealing to other players as a “normal release”.
For the distant future, Funcom has announced that PvP will be fundamentally overhauled. In addition to significant changes in Fusang, they are also considering introducing a new mode that combines PvE and PvP elements.

The new Call of Duty has a release date and the trailer is out. However, everything did not go as planned by Activision.
Actually, Infinite Warfare, the new Call of Duty, was supposed to be officially presented on Twitch tonight during prime time. Activision has been working hard over the past few days to build up hype. There was a riddle, a code hunt, you had to chat with a bot, all those nice things.
But there was a leak about Hulu and now the trailer and date are already out. Not great.
However, the trailer does not say on which platforms Infinite Warfare is expected to be released.
This information and more details about what exactly awaits us with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will probably only be available at E3, which is not too far away either. The stream tonight has definitely lost a lot of excitement. But maybe there will still be more information there.
As a sign of his loyalty, a Dota 2 pro is to be gifted a real sports car.
Wang Sicong is the son of the richest man in China. He has been known in the past for splurging, for instance, treating his dog to 2 golden Apple Watches (around $10,000 each). Apparently, he is not just animal-loving but also generous towards those loyal eSports players who play for his eSports team “Invictus Gaming”.
It has to do with a wedding of the Dota 2 pro
Dota player “Ferrari_430” – source: Teamliquid
The player in question goes by “IG.Ferrari_430” in Dota 2 – as that is his favorite car. For 6 years, the player has been part of Invictus Gaming and won the Dota International 2012 with this team. Wang Sicong told IG’s management that if Luo “Ferrari_430” Feich gets married before leaving the team, he will receive a Ferrari 488 as a sign of loyalty.
Since the Ferrari F430 was only produced until 2009, Wang Sicong decided to “just go ahead” and gift his player the Ferrari 488 as an alternative – What a nice gesture.
Isn’t that a reason to choose a different gamer tag? How does Lamborghini_Chilla sound to you?

The Twilight Forest of World of Warcraft in current graphics. A dream? We show you the realization of a fan.
The Twilight Forest of World of Warcraft in “beautiful”
In the past, we have already featured several videos from Youtuber Daniel L, who has made it his mission to represent the entire World of Warcraft – or at least Azeroth – in the Unreal 4 Engine. After we already caught a glimpse of the forest of Elwynn and Westfall we can now see the next area approaching completion. Although it is still described in the video as an “early version”, fans will immediately recognize the numerous locations of the Twilight Forest. Especially the Raven’s Flight cemetery or the last human settlement, Darkhaven, will catch veterans’ eyes.
What do you think of this fan project? Would a World of Warcraft in the splendor of the Unreal 4 Engine be just your thing? Or would it take away the charm of the game’s comic graphics?
The hero shooter Battleborn is just about to be released. Learn here what time it starts for us. When is the launch?
Punctually at midnight, Battleborn goes off
The hero shooter Battleborn, which has inherited much of the Borderlands charm, is ready to go. With 25 crazy characters, a large campaign for multiple players, plenty of PvP modes, and numerous unlockable upgrades and outfits, it stands out against the current competition.

On May 3rd, Battleborn will be released on all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, and PC). At least in Europe, punctuality is taken very seriously, as the game will celebrate its release exactly at midnight and should be accessible to all buyers.
The preload of the game has already started yesterday, on May 1st. So, if you don’t want to cause a bottleneck in your internet connection at midnight and want to start right away, you can already download the game from the Steam library or the stores of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, you will only be able to play once Battleborn has actually been released – that is at 0:00 at night.

Soldier: 76 from Overwatch is not as new as one might think. Its concept has existed for almost 20 years.
The first images of Soldier: 76 date back to 1998
Most characters from the hero shooter Overwatch were designed specifically for the game, especially characters like the “Moon Gorilla” Winston or the strange Widowmaker. A rather inconspicuous character is Soldier: 76.
As Kotaku now reports, the soldier has actually existed for quite some time, at least in the mind of Chris Metzen, who is responsible for many ideas in Blizzard games. Although Soldier: 76 made his first official appearance only in July 2004 in a comic collection, “Digital Webbing Presents #16,” there were already drawings of him dating back to 1998.
The comic version was also significantly darker: the original “S:76” belonged to a super soldier program and was enhanced by a microchip in the brain. This allowed for short-term boosts in performance, temporarily increasing aggression and endurance. However, the comic hero was a bit cliché as he lost his memory after a long mission and now has to navigate an America ravaged by war and racism.
Nevertheless, there have been (thankfully) some adaptations that Soldier: 76 has undergone over the decades, making his Overwatch design significantly different. The color scheme and the “enhancement” through technology are still present. In the shooter, he can activate an aimbot as his ultimate ability.
In an interview with Gamespot, Blizzard tells the story a bit differently. Soldier: 76 emerged practically overnight after a playtest when they wanted to create a hero for players coming from Call of Duty.

The new instance “Court of Stars” from World of Warcraft: Legion is different – many options determine the battles.
Court of Stars – a party of the Nightborne
In the shattered isles of the World of Warcraft expansion Legion, there are some new dungeons waiting for players. One of them is the so-called “Court of Stars” in the heart of Suramar. The elven folk of the Nightborne hosts a grand celebration, where a large part of the nobility gathers. According to rumors, the Grand Magistrix is also supposed to be on site – so it’s the perfect opportunity to sneak into this party and eliminate this threat secretly.
The Youtubers from FatbossTV have assembled a five-man group and fought their way through this unusual instance.

Unlike usual, the instance is not linear, but there are many branches and paths to explore, even if they don’t always hold something. In the course of the dungeon, puzzles must be solved, as the group must uncover an “agent of the burning Legion” and first collect clues. NPCs at the party provide tips and hints like “I know the agent is not a woman” or “I know the agent wears a white robe”. These hints must be combined to locate the enemy.
For the first time, professions and classes also play an important role in the instance. There is a boss fight where the boss runs to a mana well at 25% health to regain strength. Normally, the boss deals additional damage afterward – however, if there is a rogue in the group, he can poison the well beforehand, which immediately kills the boss while drinking.
Depending on the profession, various buffs can be activated at the party. A enchanter can activate a magical orb that increases the group’s damage by 20%, while a scribe can increase movement speed.
Unfortunately, the boss fights, according to the opinion of the Youtubers, were boring and uninspired in terms of mechanics, as they seldom interacted with the environment and the abilities of the opponents “come straight from Classic times”. Here, we hope that Blizzard will improve something to make the bosses more exciting.
Mein-MMO says: From the viewer’s perspective, the Court of Stars resembles less a classic instance from World of Warcraft and more an adventure like one knows from WildStar . Small puzzles, additional power-ups and decision-making options are rather unusual for Blizzard’s dungeons. Thus, Court of Stars can be understood as an experiment by the developers. If it is well received by fans (which I hope), we will probably see more such content in the future.
Information about the upcoming survival action MMO “Let It Die” (PS4) includes details about the setting and the survival elements.
In an interview with Dualshockers, Goichi Suda (Suda51), the CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture, discussed “Let It Die” and provided insights into the “end of the world” setting of the game. He also revealed how future players of this “crazy survival action game” will begin their journey.
In what setting does Let It Die take place?
Let It Die is a purely online game; you must always be connected to the servers to play. So far, Suda has not been able to share more details about the multiplayer aspect, but it is said to be an “asynchronous multiplayer”.
The setting of Let It Die is supposed to convey an “end of the world” atmosphere, taking inspiration from Mad Max. Additionally, the created world is described as “pseudo-heavy-metal inspired”: Bands like Slipknot and Killswitch Engage are among Suda51’s favorite bands. What this looks like is shown in the following teaser trailer:

Players will be thrown into this dark world without any information. It will only be as they progress, which will be bloody and brutal, that they will gradually begin to understand what is happening in this world. The lore will not be served on a silver platter. From time to time, the Grim Reaper is expected to appear on a skateboard to shed light on the darkness. Suda51 does not want to reveal any more about this.
Create your own characters and survive
Initially, the plan was to release Let It Die as “Lily Bergamo” with a comprehensive story and a fixed character. However, during development, the team decided that players would be allowed to create their own characters for better identification.
As Suda explains, all players in Let It Die will start “in their underwear”. From there, they will forge their own path, discover procedurally generated levels, and defend themselves against numerous enemies.
According to the CEO, some testers of Let It Die found similarities to From Software’s Dark Souls series.
Let It Die is set to be released in 2016 for PlayStation 4. There are currently no official plans for it to be released on other platforms.
