In The Division, the Incursion “Falcon Lost” poses significant challenges for many agents in Challenging Mode. We provide tips on how to tackle this challenge.
Since the 1.1 update, the Incursion “Falcon Lost” in Challenge Mode is the biggest challenge in The Division. However, stylish rewards await you at the end. YouTuber Arekkz Gaming shows in the video how to complete this Incursion on Challenging.

This is what to expect in the Incursion “Falcon Lost” in The Division
Before you complete this Incursion in Challenge Mode, you must first understand the basics:
In “Falcon Lost,” you face waves of enemies. Your goal is to destroy an armored personnel carrier (APC). You need to place bombs on its rear to inflict damage.
In total, you must fight through 15 waves of enemies. Specific enemies will appear carrying the required bombs. You can recognize them by an orange diamond above their heads. Kill them and pick up the bomb, which is shown with a yellow beam, similar to high-end drops.
You need to damage the APC four times with bombs. You can acquire the bombs during the 4th, 8th, 11th, and 15th waves. Before you can place the bombs, you must deactivate two turrets.
It is advisable to designate one player in advance who will handle the bomb. This way, it is clear during the Incursion who is responsible for it.
How to prepare for the Incursion in Challenge Mode
The second skill should be responsible for crowd control: You need to be able to control hordes of enemies. The Turret with the Flamethrower or Taser mod is suitable for this. However, the Sticky Grenade with flash effect is more recommended, as hackers will come during the Incursion who can access your turret. A member can also use the Tactical Scanner to mark enemies and deal more damage to them.
How to proceed in “Falcon Lost” in Challenge Mode
Below, we outline how you can proceed in this Incursion to survive and claim the rewards.
Start by descending into the channel, where you will immediately face some tough enemies at level 34. You can quickly get used to these tough brutes because all enemies in Challenge Mode are elite at level 34. You will then encounter drones, which you can temporarily paralyze with the flash effect of the Sticky Grenade. Take them out.
Continue and enter a large room where the Incursion truly begins. Jump through the window and head to the right. For orientation, see the following graphic from Arekkz:
Here, you will receive visits from some enemies. Keep the rushers under control with your turrets and sticky grenades. Don’t forget to use your Support Stations. Stay together and defeat the enemies as a team.
Once the majority of the wave is defeated, you can rush to the “Trench” in the middle of the map, marked as “Trench” in the graphic. Here you will spend the rest of the fight: The bridges above you protect against the APC’s mortar attacks, there are ammo crates, and you can systematically eliminate the enemies.
Here, the highest priority is to kill the rushers first. You can detect them with the pulse before they cause you damage. Then position yourself near the stairs to kill the other enemies.
From the third wave, prepare for flying drones. Again, use the sticky grenade with the flash effect.
From the fourth wave, the first enemy carrying a bomb will appear. Kill him and the majority of the other enemies before your “bomb specialist” picks up the bomb. However, don’t take too long, as more enemies will spawn otherwise. So, deal with the rushers and snipers first and then focus on the bomb.
Now you must split your team. Two agents go left to the turret terminal, while two go right to the turret terminal. You can see where they are in the graphic:
Once the turrets are deactivated, you have about 10 seconds to place the bomb on the APC. All agents should then sprint back to the “Trench” in the middle. Here you are safe from the APC’s mortar fire.
You must repeat this procedure during waves 8, 11, and 15. However, keep in mind that the enemies will increase in number and strength, but your tactics remain the same.
Important notes and tips:
Don’t forget to take out the rushers first in the “Trench” before they overwhelm you.
Make sure to stay together and revive each other quickly if one of you goes down. Work as a team and communicate with each other!
By wave 10, you should switch from turrets to sticky grenades as a skill since hackers will appear that want to use these turrets against you.
During wave 15, enemies will spawn relentlessly. In this case, just kill the enemies that cause the most problems (rushers, snipers, hackers). The entire team should then rush to the left turret terminal and deactivate it. Place the last bomb and quickly return to the “Trench.” Active individual skills can be a great help here. Once the armored APC is destroyed, you have completed the Incursion and can enjoy the loot.
In the video at the beginning of the article, you can see this tactic in Challenge Mode with moving images.
If you still have trouble with “Falcon Lost” on Hard, you can also check out the video from YouTuber Schorri TV. He gives some tips on how to stand against the LMB there:
The action MOBA Paragon by Epic Games takes stock after 4 weeks of Early Access and confirms free multiplayer weekends.
The Battle for Agora
Since March 18, Paragon has been in Early Access. It’s time for Epic Games’ Creative Director, Steve Superville, to take a brief overview. Additionally, there is an infographic with some numbers, supported by nice images:
The first month went well according to Superville, but there is still a long way to go until the final game. Some things will still be changed or even newly added. At the top of the list are bug fixes and quality improvements, along with balance changes for the heroes, improvements to deck composition, and player matchmaking.
However, more maps and new heroes are also on the travel plan until the release. For example, the new character Iggy & Scorch will be added to the game next Thursday. You can see the first gameplay of this fiery-crazy duo here:

Anyone who has registered for the upcoming beta can also get an initial overview of the state of the MOBA in several free multiplayer weekends.
When you will receive your invitation has not yet been announced, but players shouldn’t have to wait much longer, according to Superville.
In closing, he also thanked the players for their active interest and the countless suggestions and information in their forum and on Reddit, which provide the team with good feedback to optimize the game in this early phase.

Today is the third round of the game mode rotation in League of Legends (LoL) – this weekend we are throwing Poros.
After “The Rise” last weekend kicked off the big game mode rotation, this afternoon, presumably around 4:00 PM (maybe earlier), we continue with a well-known game mode. “The Legend of the Poroking” was last seen in December 2015 during the Winter Joys event of League of Legends.
What do you need to do at the Poroking event in LoL?

Good news right at the beginning: There aren’t many rules to follow.
The game mode is played on the ARAM map, the howling abyss. Similar rules apply that are also found in ARAM.
No random champions, ban phase win team fights, destroy towers, destroy nexus – almost everything as usual.
2 new Summoner Spells
Poro Throw: Similar to the snowball summoner spell, you throw a Poro at an opponent. If you hit an opponent, you can activate the spell again and teleport to the target. Each hit also gives your team a point.
To the King: If a team reaches 10 points through “Poro Throw,” the Poroking falls from the sky onto the map (similar to Pantheon’s ultimate ability). With the summoner spell “to the king,” you can teleport directly to the Poroking from any distance.
If the king appears for your team, you should definitely protect him. He offers you high siege potential, due to increased mana regeneration, area healing, and deals area damage to opponents.
If the king is fighting for the opposing team, you should quickly take him out.
So, make sure to use your Poro Throw ability as often as possible to quickly summon the Poroking.
In the MMO shooter Destiny Xur arrives today on April 15th in the Tower. Has anything changed after the patch?
Last Tuesday, the new patch for Destiny was released. Today, Xur makes his appearance. Bungie has not talked about Xur at all in the last few months. This could indicate that nothing has been changed about the man who established tentacles as fashionable facial hair. It could also mean that huge surprises are waiting that they simply did not want to spoil. But that seems rather unlikely if Destiny follows its tradition.
World quests will be a major component of the endgame of World of Warcraft: Legion. We have the details for you.
Something to do every day – everywhere in the world
With the upcoming expansion “Legion,” the endgame content of World of Warcraft aims to be significantly more diverse than it was with Warlords of Draenor. The latest patch of the Alpha of Legion allows players to climb up to level 110. Thus, the first real endgame content will also be unlocked. One of these new features will be the “world quests,” which will be available to all players at max level.
What exactly are world quests?
The times of daily missions are over. To participate in world quests, you simply need to open the world map and see different tasks at various locations on the shattered islands. The tasks are supposed to be quite varied and appeal to as many player types as possible. Those who want can simply kill mobs and collect objects in the usual manner. If that becomes too monotonous, they can complete various PvP objectives, engage in certain pet battles, or hunt rare mobs.
If you want to do PvP, you can also complete world quests with that.
Important: These missions do not rotate daily but have different cooldowns. Particularly extensive assignments remain for a week, while smaller tasks may be exchanged after just a few hours. The goal is to create a “constantly evolving map” where players always have something to do after a short time.
Envoys in the class halls
Additionally, each day an envoy visits the character’s class hall and has a specific request.
You do not have to fulfill the envoy’s tasks immediately – up to 3 envoys can “gather” in the class hall, so if you want to take them all, you only need to check the map once every 3 days. To complete these tasks, 4 world quests related to the envoy must be completed. Each time, the reward is a chest with substantial loot.
In general, the loot from world quests should not be trivial, but rather an important component of character development that remains relevant throughout the expansion. In addition to pure “power items” like armor and trinkets, there are also toys and pet battles – there is something for everyone.
Mein-MMO says: On paper, world quests sound quite good, but they also strongly remind of the events from Guild Wars 2 or the “bonus missions” that were already introduced in Warlords of Draenor. Since the activities are intended to differentiate more here and include everything from PvE to PvP to pet battles, the feature will likely appeal to more players than just mindlessly farming Apex crystals. However, it remains to be seen whether the rewards will truly remain worthwhile for a long time and that this does not just become a replacement for daily quests.

Blizzard has once again unveiled some cards from Hearthstone for “The Whispering of the Old Gods”. Check them out here.
The Return of Deathwing
It will take a few weeks until “The Whispering of the Old Gods”, the latest expansion for Hearthstone, is released. However, Blizzard is constantly releasing new cards through well-known streamers, which we will then feature separately here. Today, Shadow Priests and dragon fans can rejoice, as Deathwing is making his return.
The highlight of the reveals is definitely the legendary neutral minion Deathwing, Dragonlord. In his corrupted form (strictly speaking, he was already corrupted before – details, details!) he is a 12/12 minion for 10 mana and thus quite powerful on his own. However, he truly shines with his deathrattle: Put all dragons from your hand onto the battlefield. Those who have the other aspects in hand will have a pretty solid board that few enemies can contend with. I’m already diligently crafting a dragon deck in my mind…
Priests can rejoice over the card with the coolest artwork so far (no arguments allowed). Embrace the Shadow is a spell for 2 mana that converts all healing effects of the priest into damage abilities for the rest of the turn. Thus, “Flash Heal”, “Light of the Naaru”, and “Circle of Healing” become quite devastating spells. For the “pure effect”, the card is a cheaper version of the Auchenai Soulpriest, which also has the advantage of being active only in the current turn, allowing one to actually focus on healing in the next turn.
Mages are getting a new minion. The Faceless Summoner is a 5/5 creature for 6 mana. However, it becomes really strong due to its battlecry: Summon a random minion that costs 3 mana. Thus, you have an average of 8/8 in stats for only 6 mana on the field. In various forums, this card is already being called a “no-brainer” and an absolute must-have card, which will practically be the “new Dr. Boom for Mages”. Already, there is a great outcry that this card is too powerful.
Another minion for Mages is the Servant of Yogg-Saron. For 5 mana, you get a 5/4 minion that also has a battlecry with a high random factor: Cast a random spell that costs 5 or less (targets are chosen randomly). At first glance, this seems more like a card for fun decks, as the random factor is simply too high – who would want to get a fireball to the face themselves?
Also, Rogues can look forward to a new minion. The epic card Shadowcaster costs 5 mana and gives the Rogue a minion with 4/4 and the battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Add a 1/1 copy of that minion to your hand, it costs 1. Two Shadowcasters could thus infinitely duplicate themselves – endless possibilities if you like 1/1 minions. Alternatively, one could also copy large minions with great effects, such as Ragnaros, for a 1-mana fireball.
Finally, Hunters are getting a rare minion, the Forlorn Hunter with solid stats of 4/2 for 3 mana. As a battlecry, it gives a special buff, as it grants all minions in the Hunter’s hand with deathrattle +1/+1. Now, it would just need Hunter decks that are based on deathrattle. For the “Wild” game mode, this is certainly an interesting card, but for “Standard” it is probably not, as many deathrattle cards from Naxxramas are disappearing here.

All users of iOs devices can choose to purchase the new hero Khadgar until April 24th. He is a Mage (yes, the 3rd Mage now) and can be obtained for 5€. However, Blizzard does not keep this money for themselves, but 100% of the proceeds go to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Those who unlock the hero on their mobile device can also use it on other devices afterwards.
It is not yet known whether Khadgar will be offered at the “normal” price and also on other platforms afterwards.
You can find more news and articles about Blizzard’s card game on our Hearthstone topic page.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the developers have clarified some of the open questions.
This time, the “Week at Bungie” was more of a retrospective of the patch. Three important questions are clarified.
What about the Sterling Boxes?
Actually, all players were supposed to receive a free “Sterling Treasure.” This is the new “reward box” containing the Taken and “Tron” armor or the Chroma, for example.
Not all players received their free box. They want to correct this before next Tuesday. Exact details will be provided soon.
In the meantime, Bungie points out that there are also Sterling Boxes available through the weekly Crucible playlist and the 41 Prison of Elders. That works.
What about the 3 House of Wolves Exotics? Queenbreaker’s Bow, Lord of Wolves, and Dreg’s Promise?
Currently, fewer ghosts are dropping in the Nightfall Strike than planned. They want to correct this. [Update: They have changed their statement: The problem is not the low drop rate, but that the ghosts are dropping with a too low light level.]
The Cryptarch packages for reputation rank-up only provide Year 1 engrams. They want to fix that as well.
The exotic shotgun Universal Remote is currently coming from special weapon engrams. It’s not supposed to do that; it should come from primary weapon engrams.
They are looking into whether more ammo should be dropped in PvE.
Some weekly rewards like legendary engrams or Sterling Treasure Mystery Bags are available through the rewards screen after the game. Players may not receive these rewards if they exit the activity before seeing the screen.
Some clan tags are missing, and the “Repair Clean” feature on bungie.net should resolve the issue.
What’s next for Destiny?
The next point will be the expansion in autumn. They are looking forward to discussing it, but will only do so properly in summer.
While Bungie does not say it, it is strongly suspected that they will kick off the information round at E3 in June. E3 takes place from June 14 to 16 in Los Angeles. At E3 2015, they presented the last “Autumn Expansion” – The Taken King.
In The Division, the second Incursion is visible on the map since update 1.1. It is called: “Broken Circle.”
The Incursion “Falcon Lost” went live at 12 o’clock, and some agents have already successfully completed it in hard mode. As soon as this endgame group activity is available to players, we turn our attention to the second Incursion in The Division.
On the map, the next Incursion is already listed. It is located in northern Manhattan and is called “Broken Circle.” The mission description indicates that the next opponent will be the Rikers. In “Falcon Lost,” agents have to face the LMB.
The mission description reads:
Face off against the Rikers and deactivate their SAM system to secure the airspace over Manhattan.
This upcoming endgame challenge requires a gear score of at least 220. For comparison: “Falcon Lost” can already be started with a gear score of 140.
When this Incursion will be accessible to agents is not known. However, it can be expected that it will be unlocked with the next free update in May. This update will be titled “Conflict” and is primarily intended to provide new features for the Dark Zone. Massive has already stated multiple times that new Incursions are on the way.
Today, on April 14th, “Operation Shadow Debt” starts for the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Warframe. We summarize what you need to do and what you can win.
After a long wait for new content for console players of the online shooter Warframe, a new event starts today at 8 PM with the “Sands of Inaros” expansion. We provide you with an overview of what to do and what rewards you can receive.
Alad V – The Hunted
Operation Shadow Debt begins with a message from Alad V, the part-time ally of the Tenno. This time, he doesn’t want to kill you, but is in a bind himself. He is being hunted by followers of the Stalker, known as Acolytes, because he helped Lotus save the Tenno. Now he calls in his favor and needs your help to avoid falling victim to the assassins sent after him.
Acolytes – Warframe body with Stalker head
But as we all know, assassins usually act in secrecy, strike from a safe ambush, and are hard to catch. Therefore, it is essential to find the Acolytes first, as their locations are unknown at the start. You must infiltrate Corpus and Grineer facilities to steal security data, which will give Alad V the opportunity to find one of the 5 assassins. So be prepared to traverse the entire Warframe universe. It is advantageous to have unlocked as many planets as possible.
Acolytes, Beware!
Once this is accomplished, you can turn the tables and make the hunter the hunted. Once you have found your target at level, their emergence from the shadows will be announced by the characteristic flickering screen typical of the Stalker.
Then it is time to show the aspiring Stalker that they better not stand against the Tenno. If you deal enough damage to them, they will disappear and drop a mod in their hasty retreat.
With that, you have completed the first part of Operation Shadow Debt. However, progress continues only when all Acolytes have been killed. How long this takes depends on you, the Warframe players. The more often one of these enemies is found and repelled by the community, the less health they will have. For this reason, you should complete this part multiple times, as there are a total of 20 new mods to obtain, and you will also receive a seal, a badge, an Orokin Catalyst, and an Orokin Reactor as rewards.
The Final Challenger
Once all 5 Acolytes are looking at the grass from below, the second part of Operation Shadow Debt begins. A new, final opponent will appear for 3 days. If you defeat this person for the first time, you will be rewarded with the Vulkar Wraith, a semi-automatic sniper rifle which comes with a built-in Catalyst and weapon slot.
As with other events and tactical alerts before, the last mission where Alad V must be protected can be repeated an unlimited number of times. After every 5 successfully fended off enemy waves, the final challenger will appear to be sent to the eternal hunting grounds once again by the Tenno. It is said that there are people who enjoy pain…
The blade and whip weapon Lacera in Scorn paint job
If you withstand 15 waves, you will be rewarded with the Scorn skin for the melee weapon Lacera.
This time, however, there are also trophies to be earned for your clan, which you can then place decoratively in your dojo. The acquisition depends on the sum of the best wave of all participating clan members. You can find out the value you need to reach for your clan size from the following table.
But the most important rewards remain the mods, which can also be obtained in the last mission. Therefore, it is not tragic if you do not unlock one of the 20 new mods beforehand. But let’s take a closer look at them.
New Mods – New Possibilities
Unlike previous mods, which for example add extra damage to weapons, or simply increase various other stats, these are reactive mods that activate their effects during a specific action.
For instance, the fully upgraded rifle mod “Argon Scope” increases the critical hit chance while aiming by 135% for 9 seconds when landing a headshot. This ensures that every subsequent hit is a guaranteed critical.
Such a high chance can be achieved with some primary and secondary weapons even without the new mods, but not with melee weapons. This, however, changes now with “Sacrifice Count” and especially “Blood Rush.”
By significantly extending the duration of the combo counter with the former mod, the latter allows for effectively utilizing a value of up to 165% critical hit chance. Thus, even double (red) critical hits are possible with melee weapons.
Note: A simple critical hit is displayed in yellow. If you land another hit with the same projectile that achieved the simple critical hit, it is displayed in red. This also deals significantly more damage than the normal. Warframe calculates the chance over 100% as additional chance. Therefore, it is beneficial to further increase this value beyond 100%.
As you can see, there are several good things to win in this event. So get ready to hunt Alad V’s Acolytes to rob them of their loot.

By the end of the year, there will be another big class update for the MOBA League of Legends (LoL).
In a forum post in the official League of Legends forums, a player asked if Katarina will also receive some changes in the Wizard Update of LoL. The response from RiotMeddler, the Lead Champion Designer at League of Legends, was that no changes are planned for Katarina in the Wizard Update. However, they are keeping an eye on the assassins as a whole.
The Assassins Update is planned after the LoL Championships
At the moment, the update is planned roughly for the end of the year (November), so after the League of Legends Championship matches have taken place. Which champions will be revised is unfortunately not announced yet; so far, it is only confirmed that they will “work on” Katarina.
Which assassins do you think need a little fine-tuning or a complete overhaul?

The latest patch for Star Trek Online is live. Season 11.5 brings a new skill system and “special” enemies.
Na’kuhl – The iconic Nazi aliens from the past
Since April 12, 2016, the latest patch for Star Trek Online has been active. Update 11.5 introduced a major overhaul of the talent system, a second specialization for all captains, and the new enemy faction Na’kuhl. This alien species was only mentioned in the series “Enterprise”, as they played a central role in the storyline of the “Temporal Cold War”, when they traveled through a time channel to Earth in the 20th century. There, they needed the help of the Nazis to build a new time channel (please don’t question why Nazis suddenly cooperate with aliens).
The Na’kuhl are back and offer a new threat to combat after the end of the Iconian Wars.
Plans for the future of Star Trek Online are already in place, but it’s still too early to discuss the new exploration system of Season 12. The developers want to wait until everything is truly “set in stone” to avoid raising false hopes that cannot be fulfilled.
In The Division, a YouTube video demonstrates how the game looks in 1440p and 60 frames per second thanks to a graphics mod. The result is impressive.
Ubisoft Massive has proven to have an eye for detail during the development of The Division, and the community agrees. While the graphics look good on consoles, you can enhance the image quality even more on the PC version with the right hardware.
However, this was not enough for the YouTuber VincentProD: With some camera tricks and a high resolution, he shows what can be achieved graphically in The Division. You can check out the result in the following video titled: “There are more details than you think.” It is recommended to watch the video in the best quality.

For this video in 1440p and 60 FPS, the YouTuber used a third-party camera tool along with in-game settings to achieve great effects and sharp images. Especially the depth of field, implemented by Hattiwatti in the camera tool, provides a remarkable result. Hattiwatti is a developer of Battlefield cinematic tools and mods.
In the MMO shooter Destiny, a dead ghost has been discovered in the Prison of Elders. This has been available since the April update.

Since 12:00 PM, the browser MMORPG Naruto Online is live.
A beta lasted for 2 weeks. What you earned there has already been deleted and everyone is starting anew. Now the servers are live. Naruto Online is a browser game that fully relies on the Naruto license.
The most famous characters from the universe such as Naruto, Sasuke, or Kakashi can be recruited as ninjas and then deployed as troops in turn-based battles.
The player creates an avatar and sets the direction.
http://youtu.be/Dj33gCr_4Lw
Naruto is one of the most successful manga universes ever. Since 2006, a television series has been airing in Germany on RTL2. There are 650 episodes.
They are now focusing on the Heart of Thorns content, aiming to make it more “rewarding,” wanting to provide smaller groups more successful experiences, planning to revise WvW, and the Living World will also continue – but that will be in the summer.
A lot to do! So on April 19th, it continues.

A comprehensive mod for ARK: Survival Evolved takes players to the moon. Strange things are happening…
Even on the moon, dinosaurs await
The modding community surrounding the dinosaur game ARK: Survival Evolved is large. However, while many limit themselves to transforming just a few items or creatures, this has now been taken to the next level: literally to the moon. The modification “ARK: Moon Survival” places the player on the surface of the moon. After the astronauts of the first moon mission found something up there that looks like a dinosaur bone, you have now also been sent there to find more evidence.

Although you start in the mod already in a base, resources are sparingly distributed. As in the base game, you must collect various materials while also keeping an eye on your oxygen supply. There is a completely new ecosystem to discover, vast plains, and numerous secrets hidden on the satellite.
From the various resources, useful tools can be crafted, and those who are particularly diligent can even build their own moon rover to race across the surface.
However, those who venture too far may discover one or two unpleasant surprises, as the moon doesn’t seem to be as deserted as it might appear in the first few minutes of gameplay.
In a recent court case, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive had to disclose some details regarding GTA 5 Online – and they are significant.
In the case between former Rockstar Games president Leslie Benzies and Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, there are now initial insights into the revenues from GTA V online, which had not been publicly available before. Since the launch, the online mode of Grand Theft Auto 5 has generated at least $500,000,000 in revenue – mostly through the sale of in-game currency.
Therefore, no focus on a single-player DLC for GTA V?
The author of the US site Gamepur speculates: Given the success of GTA 5’s multiplayer mode, it is hardly surprising that Rockstar Games is not placing a special focus on the development of a single-player story DLC.
Of course, this is not good news for players who greatly enjoy the story mode. But viewed from another angle, there is a lot of money that could potentially be invested in the development of a new Grand Theft Auto 6…
No Man’s Sky presents 21 minutes of gameplay footage for the upcoming space simulation. We take a look at it.
No Man’s Sky is an ambitious project from the developer studio Hello Games, focusing on exploration and survival in an almost infinite, procedurally generated galaxy. The developers have been making efforts for some time to convey the scope of this game to the fans.
99.9% of all planets are likely to remain undiscovered in No Man’s Sky
Studio head Murray says that approximately 99.9 percent of the planets in the adventure survival space simulation will likely remain undiscovered. In other words: Only 0.1% of the virtual worlds will be visited by players.
According to estimates, there are about 18 trillion planets in No Man’s Sky. That’s an incredible number – with 18 zeros! Each planet features unique flora and fauna for you to discover. Since only a small fraction of this galaxy will ever be explored, you may wonder why the developers opted for such a vast game world. It’s almost a case of waste. Murray says:
That is either quite beautiful or seriously depressing.
According to the developers, it would take about 200 hours to traverse the galaxy. Hello Games estimates that it would take five billion years to visit all the planets. You’d need a strong coffee!
But this is what true exploration is all about: You will be the first to set foot on individual planets. Consequently, there will be no Let’s Plays or online guides available on the internet to answer your questions about specific planets or help you in various situations. You are on your own. Each player will have a different experience.
Although No Man’s Sky is an online game, you will very rarely encounter other players. The galaxy is simply too large for that.
Below is the video from IGN, which shows 21 minutes of fresh gameplay:

In the video, we initially find ourselves on an icy planet with -163.4 degrees Celsius. We encounter new species, including intelligent life that we can interact with.
Murray states that players will not only discover exciting things – the planets are full of mysteries – but they will also have to engage in battles and trade with other characters.
Additionally, you need to gather various resources on the planets, which you can use to upgrade your weapons, suits, and ships, as well as craft various items. Primarily, exploration is the focus, but there is much more to do. You can even learn a bit of lore about all the cultures that await you in this galaxy.
In No Man’s Sky, it is advisable not to recklessly approach new beings. In this game, you can lose a lot if you die. Every victory and every defeat should have lasting consequences. However, the video shows that there are safe points on some planets where you can save your game.
At the end of the gameplay video, Murray demonstrates a quick travel across the galaxy. He points out that every star you see is a sun with its own solar system. And in every solar system, there are several planets filled with unique creatures, cultures, buildings, and much more. Here, one gets an impressive picture of the complexity of the game.
By the way: As Murray confirms, there will be no loading screens in the game.
No Man’s Sky will be released on June 22, 2016, for Playstation 4 and PC.
In Armored Warfare , the new tier 10 tanks are announced. This is basically already science fiction.
In the Military MMO Armored Warfare there are RPG elements in the form of progression systems. You gradually level up your account, gather resources, invest points in tanks, and can unlock new ones. The further you progress, the more modern the tanks you can drive. The rule is: You have to upgrade the old model fully before you can move on to the successor.
While World of Tanks operates with tanks from World War II, in Armored Warfare, you start later, around the 50s. By tier 5 and 6, you are already driving somewhat “modern” vehicles, of which remnants are still used today or have been further developed over the years. You find yourself in one of the first Leopard tanks, and later you unlock one of the early Abrahams. Until now, tier 9 was the end of the most modern versions of the tanks.
Now the developers have announced that they are bringing tier 10. Problem: it doesn’t even exist in reality yet.

If it is even still on the way, maybe those things will have stealth or something.
