Today is the day: Anyone interested in a dark survival MMORPG can check out the Early Access of The Black Death.
Once the Early Access version is unlocked on Steam today, you will be able to try to navigate your life in the European Middle Ages without falling victim to the plague. In the sandbox world, it is up to you whether you want to try to build a great trading empire as a merchant or whether you roam the lands as a mercenary and fight bandits. You have a choice of ten professions (only six in Early Access), all of which depend on each other.

Furthermore, the developers answered some questions from the community. It has been confirmed that there will be no firearms, as they had not been invented at the time of the game. There were also some complaints regarding the permadeath system. They explained that they wanted to have a realistic approach and that you have to take risks to achieve something in the game. If the character dies, you do not lose everything. Some gold and certain items, as well as the EXP pool, will be “inherited” to the new hero.
Crimes Will Be Punished
To avoid being “killed for an apple,” you should ensure that guards are present in the area to support you. There will be a crime system that aims to punish crimes harshly. You can also hire NPCs for protection. The developers further advise against venturing into the wilderness alone.
They are also currently working on optimizing the game to avoid desync issues or lag. They want to provide a smooth gaming experience. Currently, they are also planning regional servers that go beyond servers in the USA and Europe. Details on this will follow later. You can watch the video with all the questions about the MMO The Black Death right here.

Even during the Early Access of Tree of Savior, the first players reached the maximum level – quite a feat of grinding.
Level 280 in 3 weeks in Tree of Savior
The MMORPG Tree of Savior is currently in its international version on Steam still in the “Early Access” phase, which only allows players who have been tempted to purchase a founder’s pack. Tree of Savior is quite grind-heavy with its 280 character levels, so a lot of time must be invested in killing enemies and clearing dungeons to reach the maximum level.
The player Stormakov, who previously created a detailed leveling guide for Tree of Savior, has shown together with three friends that leveling up poses no difficulties for him at all – he has already reached level 280 again, even before the “free” players flood the servers.
The Early Access of Tree of Savior ends in a few days, starting April 28, even penny pinchers can take a look at the game – because then the game will be completely free as a Free2Play title on Steam.
More news and articles about the game with the cute graphics can be found on our Tree of Savior news site.

A new trailer for the Warcraft movie has been released and shows more magical effects. Check it out here.
Medivh lets the lightning fly
In just over a month, it will finally be here. Fans had to wait almost 10 years for the realization of a Warcraft movie, and it will hit theaters in Europe on May 26, 2016 – two full weeks before Americans get to enjoy the film.
In the past few weeks, more and more trailers for the movie have appeared, giving a good impression of how the finished film will feel. You can watch the latest teaser above in English.
What do you think of the effects and the presentation of the film? Is it exactly your taste, or do you belong to the “Meh, you can totally see the CGI!” faction?

A former developer of WoW supports the fans’ pursuit of legacy servers. He wants to personally deliver it to Blizzard.
Mike Kern supports the desire for classic servers
After Blizzard, under the threat of a lawsuit, ensured that the private server “Nostalrius” was shut down in recent weeks, the topic made high waves. On Nostalrius, everything was a little different than on the official servers – because World of Warcraft was still running in its “classic” state, that is, the vanilla version from around 10 years ago. Before the fans bid farewell to their home in a moving-bizarre way, they opened a petition to persuade Blizzard to finally offer their own servers where the classic version of World of Warcraft is operated.
World of Warcraft has also gone through a long maturation process – something many players tend to forget.
This petition has now reached more than 180,000 supporters, including a prominent person: Mike Kern, who was the team lead of World of Warcraft until 2006 and then left Blizzard, has now also commented on the petition. Should a certain milestone be reached, he wants to personally pass this matter on to Mike Morhaime, one of the major decision-makers at Blizzard.
“If we get 200,000 signatures on the petition, then I will personally deliver the matter to Mike Morhaime. But if we want to convince Blizzard, we need more than 100,000 signatures. 100,000 is okay, but not enough to move them to action. My assumption is that if even Nostalrius had 850,000 registered accounts, then there are probably several million players longing for a legacy server.”
Mein-MMO says: It is definitely a strong sign when one of the former leading developers of World of Warcraft clearly commits to classic servers and also wants to represent the community’s desire for them. On the other hand, it is also understandable, as World of Warcraft was somehow Mike Kern’s “baby” until 2006. And who wouldn’t want to see their “own” game celebrate a little revival again?
In the MMO shooter Destiny the entire loot system has been overhauled. This is now less frustrating, but will it stay that way?
It somehow feels typical. For weeks there are livestreams, every little detail is sold to us with 5 pictures, explained in slow motion and re-enacted with hand puppets of Seattle lumberjacks, but the actually most important change in the April update hasn’t been communicated to us at all.
Yes, it’s true, they did say again: “There are many paths to 335” and “Destiny should become an even more rewarding experience,” but that’s like when the dentist says: “It doesn’t hurt at all.” You might believe him the first time, but by the second time you flinch when the bastard just reaches for his torture tools.
Destiny has shattered the greatest potential for frustration
But actually Bungie has solved the greatest potential for frustration with the patch that has haunted Destiny since the beginning.
Until now, it was the case that you needed double luck: First, an item had to drop that you wanted, and then it also had to be at such a high light level that you could actually use it. Finding an improvement became increasingly harder the higher your own light level was. Otherwise, after an evening hunting for new gear, you were left with: “Other than expenses, nothing gained.”
When you were on a raid and were still hoping for a chest, it could drop anywhere between light 310 and light 320. And it didn’t matter what light level you had. If you went into the hard mode of the raid, carried a chest with 300 light and found a new one, you could hit the jackpot and take home a 320 – at worst, it was a 310. Still a nice upgrade. But if you already had a 318 chest equipped, you not only had to hope a chest would drop but also one with 319 or 320.
No more Forever 319
This made the last points a torment. You could die x times and not make an inch of progress. Lamentations about this can already be found in Vanilla. What was once called “Forever 29” is known in the last months as “Forever 319.”

While this means that “jackpots” might not drop, you can regularly score improvements. And so like a squirrel digging upwards, you can “slowly but steadily” get better.
Beware! This has happened before
But beware. A bit of this sudden insight from Bungie reminds us of a year ago. “Prison of Elders” was released and with it the weapon enhancement system. At that time, Bungie fulfilled the players’ wishes: they could upgrade old weapons to the new max value.
At first, this caused excitement: “I can finally play my Fatebringer again,” but it quickly turned out to be a motivation killer. What should I do now if I already have the best weapons? That’s why they terminated the experiment with the “upgradable weapons” already after this patch cycle and buried the idea along with the ethereal light.
Everyone loved it back then … for 2 weeks.
Even the new path to 335 light, which guarantees to reach the goal, could create a “What’s the point of this, I already have everything” effect in the long run if players become “predictably” stronger and then reach the end of the loot spiral while the next patch takes ages to arrive.
It could be that the new light system is now a gift, a “relief,” which will be a thing of the past again with the next expansion in September.
With strong discounts on properties, tattoos, hairstyles, and clothing, as well as double RP races, the Sabre Week is currently running in Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 5.
Until April 21, you can purchase properties (including garages) in Grand Theft Auto 5 online with a 20% discount. So if you’ve had your eye on a luxury apartment for a while or have been thinking about acquiring another garage, now is the time to do it. The money you save through this promotion can be invested in eye-catching items like tattoos, hairstyles, or select clothing, which are reduced by up to 50%.
There is also a new Muscle Car Upgrade in GTA 5 online
Sabre Custom by Reddit user Nysyth
Since today, there is a Declasse Sabre Turbo Custom available in Benny’s Garage that adds a touch of uniqueness to your car. From the powerful V8 engine block to the typical interior features that you are accustomed to from Benny’s Garage, you can customize your Sabre Turbo to your liking. With around $490,000, the upgrade isn’t cheap, but it’s a must for any Muscle Car enthusiast in GTA 5.
Additional bonuses during the Sabre Week in GTA 5 online
In addition to the discounts on properties, clothing, tattoos & hairstyles mentioned above, there are also double RP rewards in the race playlists. Currently, there are lowrider street races – the perfect time to test your new Sabre Turbo. From tomorrow until Thursday, there will be multi-terrain races in these playlists. But even outside the playlists, you can earn double RP by racing against other drivers in free mode.
Even if you are in a car with several friends, you get double RP for “driving with other players” – the more people in the vehicle, the faster all occupants earn additional RP. If you are a property owner, you can also enjoy the fact that your personal mechanic will not charge daily fees this week.
So head out onto the streets of GTA 5 and start some races – it’s worth it!

Black Desert provides its players with new character slots at the launch of the new classes Musa and Maehwa.
Free Character Slot for All Players
The western version of Black Desert is still lagging behind the Korean version, but the western developers at Daum are working hard to bring many contents to us in Europe as quickly as possible. As part of these efforts, the two new classes Musa and Maehwa will soon be introduced to us – these are “The classes that were previously known as Blader and Plum.”
The only problem: New characters also require character slots. Anyone who already has 5 characters would have to either purchase new slots or sacrifice a beloved character to the data nirvana – that is, delete it.
However, Daum has responded to this issue and is generous. With the patch on April 20, which also brings the two new classes, all players will receive a free character slot. This raises the limit for most players from 4 to 5 possible characters. If one has already purchased several slots, there is no need to despair: the maximum number of available character slots will also be increased from 9 to 10.
In the latest State of the Game for The Division, past and present issues of the game were discussed. Good news: Phoenix Credits for everyone are on the way.
During the maintenance on April 19th, the weekly status report for Ubisoft Massive’s MMO shooter took place. Community Developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau talked about the numerous exploits and issues currently affecting The Division. Today it’s about “the serious stuff”.
Massive is going through a learning process, wants to listen to the community
Initially, the developers discussed last week’s update 1.1, the centerpiece of which was the raid “Falcon Lost”. As every agent out there likely knows, this endgame activity is far from perfect, new exploits and problems are being reported every day.
According to Banchereau, the team is aware of all these annoyances. “Raids” are the first major update that has come to The Division, and everything is still new for the developers as well. Massive is in the middle of a learning process, in which they primarily want to learn: to recognize the needs of the players and pay attention to what the community expects from this game in the future.
The Community Developers mention that they report all the issues they find in the forums to the live team every day. There, they prioritize them and initiate appropriate solutions. They request that agents continue to discuss everything extensively and provide their feedback; the team will follow everything closely. All this feedback is a welcome help to bring about quick solutions.
Specifically regarding the “Falcon Lost Exploits”, it was stated that they have the highest priority. They want to talk about new content only when the existing activities are functioning as desired.
Phoenix Credits for everyone this coming weekend
Additionally, they briefly addressed the hotfix that was deployed on Friday night: Here, among other things, the missing characters of some Xbox users were restored. These players, along with those affected by the “backpack bug,” can expect to receive 500 Phoenix Credits and 10 of each high-end crafting material as compensation soon. When they will receive this compensation was not specified.
By the way: Yannick Banchereau confirmed that the main issue with the “backpack bug” has now been fixed, and most players can play freely again. However, there are still reports from individuals where this error continues to occur. They should contact the support team and describe the problem in detail.
Furthermore, and now all agents can be excited to read on, there will be 150 Phoenix Credits for EVERYONE this coming weekend. You only need to log in once over the weekend to receive this. This is intended as compensation for the few days before update 1.1 when daily missions could not be played. They apologize again for this. The exact date of when this compensation can be redeemed will be announced later.
Other topics discussed in the State of the Game:
The gear score displayed in the inventory indicates the value determined by the equipped weapons and armor pieces. If this is below 160, but you are still assigned to the Dark Zone bracket above a gear score of 160, it’s because you might possess items in your stash that could raise your score above this value. For the Dark Zone, the maximum possible gear score of your agents counts.
There was a brief mention of cheats and hacks: The developers can track the actions and data of the agents, so it’s better not to use cheats. Banchereau also emphasized that they are looking at consoles too, as recent discussions have mostly focused on PC, where cheating problems are particularly pronounced. PS4 and Xbox One are not being neglected.
It was indeed an error that the daily missions were playable in recent days, but did not rotate. This problem has now been fixed. Today, WarrenGate Power Plant is on Challenging, while Russian Consulate and Broadway Target are on Hard.
This spotlight video shows you how you can play Taric in League of Legends in the future.
Just recently, developer Riot Games announced the champion update for the hero Taric. But to not only read how the new Taric plays, but also to see his abilities, the spotlight video has now been released, showcasing his new skills.

In this video, Riot not only shows dryly how the attacks work, but also employs a very special narrative style that almost resembles a Disney story. Visually, Taric would likely fit well into a cartoon like Hercules. The strengths and weaknesses of the revamped Taric are clearly highlighted. This is a significant difference from older spotlights, where the heroes simply mowed down everything and everyone.
Now that you see the abilities more in action, you may have a new picture of the rework of Taric. Personally, I find the rework very successful – it is by far no longer the old, boring playstyle. Of course, one still has to take a closer look at the numbers and values once they have tried him out in a League of Legends game.

In FIFA 16: FUT there are legends on Xbox – cards of the best players from the past. We summarize everything you need to know about it.
In FIFA 16’s Ultimate Team mode, there are countless cards: In addition to the standard cards of thousands of footballers, there are “in-form” cards, “Team of the Year” cards, “Man of the Match” cards, and numerous other special cards that are highly sought after by FIFA players. This also includes the legends.
What are legends in FIFA 16?
Since FIFA 14, Xbox users have been able to enjoy exclusive legend cards in FUT mode. These cards bring back famous star players to the virtual pitch who have left a remarkable mark in the world of football in the past and are no longer active as professionals.
The selection of legends has not always been undisputed in the past, as many fans wish for their former heroes who are not yet in the game. The accusation: EA would arbitrarily decide who is a “legend” and who is not. You can see which legends are available in FIFA 16 at the end of this article.
The legend cards are marked with a white-gold design and are categorized as “in-form” cards since they are meant to reflect the performances of the respective player at the peak of their career. The overall ratings of the current legends range from 86 to 95 – they are among the best and most sought-after objects in the game.
Designs of the legend cards from FIFA 14 to FIFA 16
How do I get legends in FIFA 16: FUT?
In total, there are 66 legend cards in FIFA 16: FUT on Xbox. These have been consistently available in the sets since the launch of the game. You have a chance to get a legend in every pack that can contain Rare Players. There is also the option to purchase legends for many coins on the transfer market.
In Draft mode, only a few legends are available each week. These change every Monday at 19:00.
How is the chemistry of the legends calculated?
Since the legends are not assigned to any club or league, it’s interesting to look at how the chemistry is calculated. To create Ultimate Teams with legends, EA has introduced “legend chemistry”:
Each player has a league match with the FUT legends. As a result, legends have at least one orange connection to all other cards. To build a strong green connection on the pitch, only the nationality needs to match. All legends have a green connection with each other.
In FIFA 16, ten new legends were introduced that were not available in FIFA 15. These include:
Vitor Baia (FC Porto, FC Barcelona)
George Best (Manchester United, Fulham, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Los Angeles Aztecs, San Jose Earthquakes)
Deco (FC Porto, FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Fluminense)
Landon Donovan (San Jose Earthquakes, LA Galaxy)
Gennaro Gattuso (Perugia, Rangers, Salernitana, AC Milan, FC Sion)
Ryan Giggs (Manchester United)
Alexi Lalas (Padova, New England Revolution, LA Galaxy)
Jari Litmanen (Reipas, HJK, MyPa, Ajax, FC Barcelona, Liverpool FC, Malmö FF, Hansa Rostock)
Alessandro Nesta (Lazio, AC Milan, Montreal Impact)
Javier Zanetti (Talleres, Banfield, Inter Milan)
Below, we show an overview of all playable legends in FIFA 16. The cards come from the Futhead database.
Overview of all Legends in FIFA 16
There are a total of 66 legends in FIFA 16. With Beckenbauer, Matthäus, Brehme, Bierhoff, Effenberg and Lehmann also six German players made the selection. These are the legend goalkeepers:
In the MMO shooter Destiny , a new week starts on April 19th. What are the new challenges?
It has been a week since the April patch. Players have familiarized themselves with it and have observed the new quirks of the loot system. It really seems that many activities in Destiny are quite attractive and rewarding. Since loot now drops “specific to light levels”, a whole range of activities are worthwhile, and players feel like they are making constant progress unless they are totally plagued by bad luck.
We present the challenges for this week.
Weekly Nightfall Strike on April 19th is the Sunless Cell
In the MMO shooter The Division, Ubisoft has released a video dedicated solely to us, the agents. This is meant to be a tribute to all agents who do their best to save New York.
Ubisoft Massive is currently working hard to fix numerous exploits, bugs, and issues plaguing The Division. However, they apparently do not forget the most important thing: us players! In a video dedicated to all Division agents, they express their gratitude for the players who invest a lot of time and effort into the game.
“Legendary Agents Trailer” gives goosebumps
As Ubisoft Germany reports, some of you have become heroes during the ongoing battle for New York. Some players have even become “legendary agents.” The following video is meant to be a tribute to all those agents who help save New York battle after battle. Some players who have achieved special feats in the game are even mentioned by name:

The video is said to be based on real player data. The agent Mendoman007 is introduced, who has spent over 300 hours in the game, or Crusebal, the agent with the most headshots. Additionally, Chaos3K is mentioned, the player who was the first to reach the maximum Dark Zone rank. We have already reported on him.
In the end, they express their gratitude with the words:
Thank you to all our players. You are The Division.
In the comments, this action is well received, one user finds it “really cool” that Ubisoft does something like this. Another agent even says that the video gave him goosebumps, it is simply epic.
What do you think of this video dedicated to you? And: How close are you to these showcased records?
If you have questions about the game, in our The Division guide collection, which we are constantly updating, you will surely find the right answers.

5 new cards for “Whispers of the Old Gods” from Hearthstone have been revealed. Check them out here.
The wicked, smallest terror of Hearthstone
In a few weeks, the new expansion for Hearthstone, Whispers of the Old Gods, will finally be released. Blizzard is already revealing the new cards in advance. A total of 6 have now once again seen the light of the digital realms, we present them to you here.
Hunters get a new legendary beast. Fresh from the ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, Princess Huhuran awaits for 5 mana with impressive stats of 6/5 for those who draw her from a card pack. Blizzard seems to be giving Hunters more options with Deathrattle, as Huhuran’s Battlecry reads as follows: Trigger the Deathrattle effect of a friendly minion immediately. Since many Deathrattle cards no longer work in “Standard” mode, one can probably expect that some new ones will be introduced.
Also legendary, but significantly smaller and almost cute is the neutral minion Shifter Zerus. The small Faceless One costs 1 mana and has stats of 1/1. However, you won’t really play him in this form, as his card effect states: “Each turn this card is in your hand, it transforms into a random minion.” Thus, the card has a very high randomness factor but can, depending on the situation, be just the right answer, especially since it can also end up as a card of another class.
A new form of AoE spell is granted to Mages. The Twilight Flamecaller costs 3 mana and boasts stats of 2/2, along with the powerful Battlecry: Deal 1 damage to all enemy minions. Since this damage is indeed triggered only against enemies, the card is wonderful for countering Rush decks that are equipped with many Murlocs, for example.
For 4 mana crystals, Mages receive the 4/2 minion Demented Frostcaller. As the name already suggests, the card will fit particularly well in Freeze decks, as every time the Mage casts a spell, a random enemy character will be frozen. This also includes the enemy hero, thus making it a valuable resource in combat against classes with weapons (Warrior, Rogue, etc.).
Also with a mana cost of 4, but for Priests, is the Shifting Shade with a body of 4/3. In theory, the card can bring a significant advantage, as its Deathrattle copies a random card from the opponent’s deck and adds it to the Priest’s hand. This, of course, comes with a high randomness factor, but will surely make the decisive difference on many occasions.
Even among the Druids, the minions of C’thun have crept in. The Dark Arakkoa costs 6 mana, has impressive stats of 5/7 and also Taunt. As if that alone wasn’t strong enough, his Battlecry also grants the Old God C’thun +3/+3, wherever he may be.

The Korean MMORPG Bless Online has found a publisher in the West. The release in Europe and North America is supposed to happen as soon as possible.
Recently, a fan site circulated the rumor that Bless Online was on the verge of entering the West. They had found a publisher. Now it’s official. Aeria Games will bring the AAA MMORPG, which runs on Unreal Engine 3, to North America and Europe. This is reported by the Asia-focused site 2p.
Currently, two teams are tasked with the localization to bring Bless “as quickly as possible” to the West. There is still no specific date. The contract was apparently signed yesterday at the “Neowiz Tower”. Neowiz hopes that the agreement will provide the opportunity to enter the global market while also penetrating the European and North American market.
Aeria Games is a publisher of online games with a focus on Free2Play. More well-known games from Aeria Games include Aura Kingdom, Echo of Soul, or Dragomon Hunter.
Bless Online is currently considered the biggest “AAA MMORPG hope” from Korea, after Blade and Soul and Black Desert have been released here.
The closed beta of Overwatch is ending. But what comes next? The lead developer reveals the plans in the video.
The End of the Closed Beta of Overwatch

However, Jeff Kaplan will still speak in a “Developer Update” video and thank all fans who helped make Overwatch what it is today over the past months. He also thanks everyone who could not participate in the beta but still provided valuable comments and suggestions.

For the future, work is already underway on additional game content that will be available after the launch. Besides new maps, more game modes, and new heroes, the focus will primarily be on further improving the ranked game mode. This content will be free for all players and will not be available as DLC – all “game-relevant” content will remain free in the future.
Dates for the Open Beta of Overwatch
But aside from the end of the closed beta, specific details about the exact start of the open beta have also been published.
Those who pre-ordered can dive into the early access of the closed beta with a chosen friend on May 3 at 1:00 AM.
2 days later, on May 5 at 1:00 AM, the open beta will follow for all interested parties.
Finally, on May 9 at 7:00 PM, the closed beta will end, and the servers will remain closed until the release day. The official release of Overwatch will take place about 2 weeks later, on May 24.

In The Division, the weekly maintenance will take place on April 19th. Apparently, there will be no changes.
11:55 AM Update: The servers are back online.
Every Tuesday from 9 AM to 12 PM, maintenance takes place on the servers of The Division on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. During this time, the servers of The Division will be unavailable. Also, on April 19th, the server downtime will occur within these three hours, as reported in the Ubi-Forum.
Server down, no game changes on April 19th in The Division
According to the official post, there will be no game changes during this maintenance. The developers will just be working on the servers in the background.
On Friday, it was announced that the weekly rewards from the raid “Falcon Lost” would be available again once the servers are up on Tuesday. Since the hotfix Friday night , agents have been unable to earn “weekly rewards” from the raid, to the annoyance of many players.
Moreover, recently there has been dissatisfaction that the daily missions have not provided variety: Since Saturday, the Challenging mission is Lincoln Tunnel, the Hard missions are Hudson Refugee Camp and Madison Field Hospital. These missions should actually change every 24 hours.
Even though no changes have been announced, agents still hope that at least these issues will be addressed. The new exploits in “Falcon Lost” apparently have not been dealt with yet.

The end times are here – at least in the survival MMO The Skies, which is now available on Steam through Early Access.
Since it is still an early access version, not all features are implemented and there may still be issues. However, if you want to take a look into the dark world and take your first steps, you can do so starting now.
A new MMORPG promises a growing game world
The Skies places you in a game world that is currently 16 km² large. This is supposed to expand to 200 km² over time. In this world, you try to survive. You create a character that you can design completely according to your ideas, making it as unique as possible. How you live your life in the end times is up to you. Because you improve your hero through skills.
You will also follow quests, which are not supposed to be linear, as is evident even in the dialogues. Depending on how you behave and approach quests, these can change and lead to different objectives. This, in turn, affects the progression of your story and further missions. You should feel like you are not following a linear prescribed story that every other player experiences the same way; you can influence your story and how it develops.
You influence developments in the game
Your actions also impact the player-driven economy. Wars can lead to shortages of certain products, for example.
Wars play a bigger role in general. Because if you join with others into clans, you can declare war on other clans. But PvP duels and smaller battles are also possible. You do not only engage in these battles on foot in The Skies; you also build vehicles, as seen in the Mad Max movies, and engage in hot combat with these in the MMORPG.

The WoW expansion Legion finally has an official release date – the demon invasion begins in August.
Release date of World of Warcraft: Legion August 30, 2016!
Fans of World of Warcraft have had to wait a long, long time for new content. Today Blizzard announced a fixed release date for the launch of World of Warcraft: Legion on the official game site. Accordingly, Legion will celebrate its worldwide release on August 30, 2016.
The expansion can already be pre-ordered, providing all veterans and new players with a free boost to character level 100. This allows players to jump right into the current endgame content without having to struggle through the “old” content first.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, everything revolves around the titular Burning Legion, which, triggered by Gul’dan, launches another assault on Azeroth, aiming to bring the rebellious world under its burning claws and hooves. In addition to new quest areas, much focus is on artifact weapons: Each specialization receives its own legendary weapon, which improves over weeks and months with the character, has its own talent trees and abilities, and moreover offers an exciting class story.
