For Tree of Savior, there will soon be a European server after all. We have the details for you.
Server transfer coming in early May
Just a few days ago, it was still uncertain whether there would ever be regional servers in the new Free2Play MMORPG Tree of Savior, but the decision has now been made. The temporary server Femidian is currently still in America but is planned to be moved to Europe at a later date. There is no specific date for this yet, but it is scheduled to happen around “mid-May”.
Anyone wishing to transfer from their current server to Femidian can do so in the first week of May, as server transfers will be offered then. However, keep in mind that it will still take a while before the server is actually set up in Europe and the latencies will decrease.
RIFT will soon receive new souls and provides a first glimpse of the War Singer. We have the details.
With Healing Song to Victory
With the upcoming update 3.6 in RIFT there will be some new souls, which will be available in the chosen souls package of the in-game shop. This enables new play styles and allows even old characters to shine in a new light. In a new post, the War Singer has been discussed and it explains what will set this soul apart.
The War Singer – as the name suggests – can best be compared to the bards from other fantasy settings and is a specialization for the warrior. Through various songs and encouraging shouts, he strengthens his allies and becomes a powerful healer. The War Singer specializes in single-target healing. Especially helpful are special effects like “Turns the Tide in Your Favor”, which converts any overhealing into a protective shield.
However, the singers are not defenseless; they can also deal significant physical damage. Bleeding ears included.
More souls from update 3.6 “Feast of the Chosen” will be highlighted in the coming days.
For even more news and articles about the game, you can find them on our RIFT theme page.

Since yesterday, there is a new hero in MOBA Paragon – and he is deadly. We give you an overview of his abilities and take a look at the changes to Grux and Feng Mao.
Sevarog – The soul-devouring jungle tank
With yesterday’s weekly update of the third-person action MOBA Paragon from Epic Games, the first new character has joined the 13 already playable ones since the early access phase. He is therefore the first of the heroes that will be introduced to the game at regular intervals of 3 weeks. All characters are and will remain free to play.
Sevarog is an axe-swinging tank who should initially stay in the jungle. He can consume his victims, minions as well as opposing players, accumulating soul stacks, which makes him bigger and stronger and grants him more health points. Thus, he becomes a dangerous opponent as the game progresses.

Furthermore, he can hold others in a small area, which after wearing off are additionally slowed down for a short time. This allows him to rush through other opponents to damage rooted enemies with his ultimate ability, the colossal strike, and hurl them into the arms of teammates. The damage of this ability is also influenced by his accumulated soul stacks. Therefore, it is essential to absorb any life in you to become stronger and deadlier.
Changes to melee fighters
But Sevarog is not the only novelty of the patch. The two melee fighters Grux and Feng Mao had their blades slightly nerfed, as Epic Games noticed a higher win rate with these two heroes compared to others.
The biggest change concerns Grux’s passive ability. With each minion kill, he gained 5 health points. This increase has now been capped at 2 and an upper limit of a maximum of 200 has been set. This prevents him from developing into an almost invincible damage-dealing tank in the later stages of the game.

In the upcoming April update for the MMO shooter Destiny, new emotes will be introduced that you can acquire in the Eververse. We present them here.
In a live stream last night, Bungie presented the rewards and items that will enter the Destiny universe with the upcoming update. Along with fresh armor sets, “new” exotics, and various other items and mechanics, 13 emotes will also be introduced.
These are the 13 emotes of the Destiny April update
You will be able to acquire the following gestures in the tower in the Eververse. Tess demands silver for these cool moves, a currency that you must purchase with real money. The emotes are by no means game-changing, they are merely optional content that each Guardian can acquire according to their own taste.
These are the Legendary emotes:
Taken Shiver: With this emote, you wiggle like what is usually expected from the Taken. The gesture is said to be unlocked when you have collected the entire Taken set. It says: “Oryx is dead, right?”
Club Dance: This emote costs 500 silver. Here, your Guardians move rhythmically, following the motto: “Feel the beat. Feel the love.”
Instructional Dance: With this emote, the Guardians of Light show “fresh moves”. Cost: 500 silver.
Do it: These moves come with the note that one should realize their dreams. This is a clear reference to the actor Shia LaBeouf, whose motivational video became a meme on YouTube. You can do this for 500 silver.
Praise The Gun: With this, you can praise your weapon for a mere 200 silver.
Amazed: With this gesture, you can express your astonishment for 200 silver.
Sumo: With this sumo gesture, you can prepare for battle. Cost: 200 silver.
Bye-Bye: With this, you can say “Goodbye” to your buddies, also for 200 silver.
Praise the Light: For 200 silver, you can worship the Light. After all, it is the Light that gives us strength.
I don’t know: If you have no idea at all what your clan member wants from you, you can show him that with this gesture. This fun costs 200 silver.
Crane Kick: With this move, you are the best, at least if you believe the description: “You are the best…” This takes inspiration from the crane kick from Karate Kid. 200 silver.
Rude Taunt: This gesture is also available for 200 silver, with which you can taunt your opponent.
All these emotes can be enjoyed with moving images in the following video. There are definitely some highlights. Whether you want to acquire them with money must be decided by each person.

The illustrations of League of Legends (LoL) are now also available as a screensaver for Windows and Mac.
Few players would have expected this release. Personally, I checked the date right away – No, it’s not quite April 1st yet. But a screensaver app in 2016? When I got a little more into the program and saw the various options, I actually thought it was pretty good. So good that I downloaded it right away.
Playlists and a huge collection of LoL images
If you’re still not quite convinced about setting up a screensaver, you should take a look at the collection of images, photos, and animations that this program offers. From well over 100 images of champions and various locations of great battles in League of Legends, you can create your own playlist to protect your screen while you’re not using it.
There is also work underway to use these images as desktop backgrounds. Additionally, in the champion overview, we have our good old URF, which we will probably see again soon in the system of rotating game modes.
Installation of LoL screensaver software
First of all, it should be noted that the operation of this software is really easy and particularly clear. First, you should download this screensaver software from the official Riot Games website.
The installation is self-explanatory. If you skipped the point at the end of the installation, you can change the screensaver in the control panel under “Personalization” in a Windows operating system.
There you can also access the settings and personalize the screensaver with your own playlist. You then simply select the media you want in your playlist. These will then be downloaded and you can use the League of Legends screensaver.
Warning: Currently there is a bug when uninstalling. If you installed the screensaver app directly in your LoL folder, the entire folder will be deleted upon uninstallation. So be careful and take a close look!

In Tom Clancy’s The Division, you can create individual builds with various combinations of your skills and weapons. Below, we present a skill power build that focuses on sticky bombs.
In his video series “Best of Builds,” the YouTuber Arekkz Gaming showcases another build that revolves around skill power and sticky bombs.
This is the “Infinite Sticky Bomb Skill Power Build” in The Division
Below is a sticky bomb build that allows you to use the sticky bomb frequently and effectively. We will list the attributes, skills, talents, and weapons you need for this build.
Focus on Electronics in the Skill Power Build
For the attributes, you need to improve the Electronics value to boost your skill power. While firearms affect your weapon damage and stamina affects your health, skill power has different effects on your skills. How these are specifically affected depends on the respective skill.
In general, a high electronics value reduces the cooldown time of skills. Additionally, for example, your sticky bomb damage or the healing power of healing skills increases. Each skill is enhanced by electronics in a specific way.
This also applies to this sticky bomb build: The higher the electronics value, the more effective the sticky bomb. Therefore, the electronics attribute has the highest priority. Whether you focus on stamina or firearms otherwise is up to you.
In the video, Arekkz neglects his stamina value, which is why he strongly recommends this build for use in a team. Especially when you are playing solo, you should emphasize stamina more. Otherwise, you won’t survive out there for long.
Take these Skills for the Sticky Bomb Build
Following are the skills with the mods that you should use for this build.
Sticky Bomb with the mod “Monster Grenade” (BFB): This deals greater damage and increases the blast radius. Additionally, you can inflict bleeding wounds on targets. This offensive mod can also be replaced with the blind effect mod to control enemy crowds, but in this build, we want to deal significant damage.
First Aid with the mod “Overdose”: This device heals targets more efficiently with this mod and can even increase the target’s health points beyond the normal value.
This build does not depend on any individual skill, so you have complete freedom here. The YouTuber recommends the Survival Links from the Security tree.
These are the Talents for the Sticky Bomb Build
It is particularly about the talents that make this build so special. We list them below:
Demolitionist: If you kill an enemy with an explosion, explosion damage increases by 40% for 15 seconds. This significantly strengthens your sticky bombs.
Shrapnel: If you inflict bleeding wounds on an enemy, there is a 30% chance to transfer this effect to all enemies within 10 meters. And since the “Monster Grenade” mod can cause bleeding wounds, this talent is quite practical.
Chain Reaction: If you deal damage to multiple enemies with an explosion, explosion damage increases by 40%.
Triage: If you heal an ally with a skill, skill cooldowns are reduced by 15%. This talent is probably the most important in this build, as it allows you to use the sticky bomb very quickly again.
If you heal multiple allies, and of course yourself as well, your skills recharge very quickly. You act as follows: Use sticky bomb, heal everyone, use sticky bomb, heal everyone, and so on. This method allows you to fire one sticky bomb after another at the enemies.
This build is particularly recommended in a team: If you only heal alone, it takes longer to use your skills again. However, if you heal the entire team, you can throw your sticky bombs at the enemies all around.
To effectively use this build, you must stay close together in the team so that the skills are instantly recharged. So stay together and blow your enemies up. This build is recommended for PvE and for the Dark Zone.
You can take this fun to the next level if all team members use this build. It results in an endless fireworks display of sticky bombs – Michael Bay would be proud of you!
Which Weapons Should I Use in This Build?
Which weapons you use is entirely up to you. After all, the focus is on the sticky bomb, not on the weapons. However, you can use guns like the Caduceus or the Liberator, which positively affect your skills. But the weapons play only a secondary role in this build. Grab your sticky bombs and shoot as if there were no tomorrow!

The game world of Black Desert has been expanded with massive content. We reveal what is included in the Mediah update.
Mediah brings over 1000 new quests
The Western launch of Black Desert was only a few weeks ago, but Daum is already rolling out the first content patch – and it really looks impressive. The already gigantic game world will be expanded by another 30%. Regionally, Mediah is the gateway to the Valencian coast and is located east of Baleno and Serendia. Since the new zone contains endgame content, most players will likely be here now, completing quests.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7zCMztj-o
Speaking of quests: There are plenty of them in Mediah. Over 1000 new missions await players and should definitely keep them busy for one evening (or rather one week). These tasks also include some guild quests, for which you will need your fellow players.
Friends of PvP skirmishes can look forward to the “Crimson Battlefield,” where up to 80 players (40 vs. 40) can compete against each other simultaneously. You can register in groups of up to 5 players, so no one has to miss out on their friends.
If you prefer your opponents a bit larger, you’ll also enjoy a new challenge, as the world boss Kzarka roams in the new zone and is said to be able to take on hundreds of players at the same time. Those who defeat him will be rewarded with nice loot, as is customary.
The patch comes with numerous new weapons, armor sets, and plenty of new costumes in the cash shop (various wings and sexy lingerie), allowing you to beautify your character even more.
A complete list of all new features and adjustments can be found in our sources.
For more news, articles, and numerous beginner guides about the game, visit our Black Desert topic page.

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is turning two years old! A reason for the developers to host a big event.
Starting April 5 at 01:30 AM, you can participate in the anniversary celebrations of The Elder Scrolls Online. For the celebration, the baker Donolon has been commissioned to bake a very special cake. If you log into the MMO after the event starts, you will receive a token to obtain this anniversary cake. However, you won’t just be able to sit down comfortably and enjoy the sweet piece, as there is a quest involved.
Birthday Cake!
If you complete this quest named “Cake Hunger”, you will receive the anniversary cake as a reward, which you will find among your souvenirs in your collection. Whoever eats this will enjoy a 100% experience bonus, which will stack with all other EXP bonuses!
Two New Assistants
But there is more new content in the MMORPG. Starting today, you will find two new assistants in the game, Tythis Andromo the banker and Nuzhimeh the merchant. You can summon Tythis Andromo almost anywhere for access to your bank vaults. Nuzhimeh, on the other hand, will buy anything you no longer need – without charging any fees! Since both assistants can be summoned almost anywhere, you save long walks back to the cities.
So get ready for the anniversary celebration of The Elder Scrolls Online and fast, so that there is room for the anniversary cake in your stomach! Until the event starts on April 5, you can use the time to make the most of the two new assistants.

In reflecting on the merger with Webedia, we look back at the history of our site Mein-MMO.de.
Dawid Hallmann is the most ambitious guy I’ve ever met. I still have a letter from him, from February 2014. We were just at the beginning, maybe getting 300 readers a day. He told me back then that he wanted to build Mein-MMO.de as an alternative to the established MMO sites like buffed or playmassive. I thought he was quite a dreamer at the time, but: He was completely right.
The First Year
What you have to understand is that Mein-MMO.de was initially a passionate side project. While Dawid was working his regular job, he built Mein-MMO.de in his spare time, fulfilling a kind of childhood dream. Having your own gaming website is something special. He paid all the costs out of his own pocket. There were no thoughts of revenue at all.
The Elder Scrolls Online – the first game with which we reached thousands of readers.
We had some early successes with articles about The Elder Scrolls Online, WildStar, or ArcheAge. During that time, we grew from being a “really small site” to “still a small site, but a bit bigger and with potential.” By August 2014, we had about 5000 readers a day.
Then Destiny and Success Came
Most of you who followed us know what happened next: Destiny. It was never really planned that we would actually cover the console shooter. But from the beginning, our articles received tremendous responses and the visitor numbers skyrocketed. In September, we had 15,000 readers a day. That was when things started to get a bit more serious.
I remember that after the World Cup, a football international match was broadcast on RTL, and during halftime, a Destiny commercial aired. At that time, a news article of ours was quite visible on Google, and our reader numbers exploded during the halftime break. It was clear at that point: Wow, we’re onto something here.
Destiny was the game with which we reached tens of thousands of readers.
As a “hobby,” the site was no longer manageable. It simply took up too much time. While we used to publish maybe 20 articles a week, it soon rose to 80, 90, or 100. Initially focused on just a few MMORPGs, we expanded our coverage to other online games. The hours we could dedicate to the site kept increasing.
As a result, other people became increasingly important to the site throughout 2014 and into 2015, who wrote articles, handled planning, engaged with you in comments, and much more. The roles of Cortyn and myself steadily grew over time.
The Merger with Webedia Had Been in the Works for a While
Around September 2015, when we had 50,000 readers a day, Dawid realized that the site could no longer be managed as a side project. There were two options:
Either Dawid could have founded a GmbH to manage the project on his own and take it to the next level.
Option B was to seek a strong partner to become even stronger together.
It quickly became clear that it would be option B. Now it’s March 2016, and the time has come. Mein-MMO.de will become a part of Webedia in the future. This is the company that also owns Gamestar, Gamepro, moviepilot, and numerous other sites.
For us and you, nothing in our daily routine will change. Dawid remains the head of the site, and I remain the chief editor. Cortyn, Ttime, Andreas, and the others are all still on board – some in expanded roles.
This is the boss: Dawid Hallmann
This is not a merger born out of necessity, but a very positive one for us that we have worked towards. In terms of reader numbers and in every other aspect, we are currently stronger than ever. At present, we have about 70,000 readers a day.
Nothing will change for the worse. On the contrary, we will be able to report even more comprehensively and in greater depth about the games that brought you all here, thanks to the new opportunities. We already have our eyes on the first new staff members, from whom you’ll surely be reading articles soon.
We’ve been around for about two and a half years now. It has been a wild journey so far, and it seems like we are just getting started. We hope you will accompany us on this journey!

Webedia Germany, a subsidiary of the French Webedia Group, is expanding its portfolio in the digital gaming segment by acquiring the gaming portal Mein-MMO. Previously, Mein-MMO was already a partner of the gaming network OnlineWelten, which also belongs to Webedia.
The young online magazine, founded by Dawid Hallmann, focuses on topics related to multiplayer games for PC and consoles – from current shooters like Destiny and The Division to classics like World of Warcraft.
Since its founding in October 2013, the portal has been steadily growing and now reaches over 2 million visits a month. Compared to the same period last year, this represents a growth of over 150 percent. “The gaming industry is undergoing a transformation. There are fewer new releases and more titles that receive regular expansions and DLCs. We accompany these games intensively over a long period. Readers appreciate this offering. We have experienced tremendous support from fans and friends of various online games who have formed a community on our site,” explains Dawid Hallmann, Head of Mein-MMO.
Webedia Germany, based in Berlin and Munich, is already represented in the market with leading online gaming portals in the areas of games, consoles, technology, and home cinema. With gaming websites such as GameStar, GamePro, and the German-language IGN portal, the online entertainment publisher reaches over 5 million users monthly in Germany.
The magazine for multiplayer and online games: Mein-MMO.de
With its focus on online games, Mein-MMO complements Webedia’s gaming portfolio with diverse reporting from the MMO-enthusiastic team. “Our users have made the website what it is today: a pleasant place for gamers to exchange ideas about their shared hobby. With the acquisition by Webedia, we can realize our visions more than ever,” says Dawid Hallmann. “The growing relevance of multiplayer online games in the gaming industry opens up new marketing opportunities and cooperation models beyond our current offerings,” adds Ralf Sattelberger, Director Sales at Webedia Germany. “We look forward to walking this path together with Mein-MMO in the future.”
In The Division the Incursions, the raids, will be introduced with the April update. This evening, the developers want to share details via a Twitch livestream.
Currently, not much is known about the upcoming Incursions in The Division: They are supposed to be challenging endgame group activities, where an agent team must prove themselves against relentless foes to obtain high-level items. However, what this will look like in detail is still unknown.
This is supposed to change this evening, on March 31st. The developers will hold a livestream via Twitch in which they want to present the raids. This was announced on Twitter.
Accordingly, tonight at 8 PM, the “Special Report” will start, on the official Twitch channel for the game. We will be following this for you. How extensive this information will be and what else the developers want to reveal remains to be seen.
Update: We have a summary of the stream for you in this article.
For young fans of World of Warcraft, there will soon be reading material – a children’s book will be released in November.
Azeroth through the eyes of children
A younger audience will soon be able to enjoy the story of Warcraft, as Blizzard has entered into a partnership with Scholastic and will publish the book “World of Warcraft: Traveler” later this year.
“Traveler” will thematically focus on a young boy who happens to be the son of a “great explorer” of the Warcraft universe. Due to an incident, he gets separated from his family and washes up on a foreign shore. Here he must navigate a strange world, equipped with a magical compass and his drawing tools. As can be seen from the first sketches, the hero will make friends with a Murloc, encounter Night Elves, and meet characters like Malfurion and Tyrande.

The story is written by Greg Weisman, with illustrations by Samwise Didier, who has been responsible for many concept drawings and artworks related to Blizzard games.
On the journey, the protagonist will encounter many wondrous creatures.
In general, the goal was to answer the question of what Azeroth might look like through the eyes of children who are discovering parts of this world for the first time.
Although the book is intended to be child-friendly, aimed at “young fans” aged 8-12, some adults will likely place the book on their shelves. A certain demon will definitely do so.
A release of the book is planned for November 2016 in America; it is still unclear if and when a German translation will be made available. The announcement refers to it as a “Series,” indicating a multi-part series.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , a variety of new weapons, armor, ships, and Sparrows were introduced yesterday. Check them out.
Yesterday, we streamed and commented on the live stream “What’s New”. It was about the items that will be new or returning to Destiny with the April update on April 12th.
Prior to that, it was announced as a “fashion show” and that was indeed the impression: Something new was constantly wobbling across the screen, new effects were presented, there was a lot of information and fresh items: 5 armor sets, 3 for the factions, one for the Taken, and one in a “TRON” look for the Chroma effects. Then a variety of weapons, Sparrows, and also ships.
YouTuber Raptorr has now gathered the screens online, uploaded a video, and compiled a screenshot collection on Imgur. There you can browse at your own pace to see what’s new coming your way.
You will miss these 10 cards from Hearthstone as soon as the new format “Standard” goes live.
With the expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods”, Blizzard will introduce the new game format “Standard” at the end of April or the beginning of May, where only the current expansions from the ongoing and last year can be played. In plain language, this means that players will have to say goodbye to cards from Goblins VS. Gnomes and Naxxramas if they want to play the new mode. Those who want to stay “Wild” will see no changes.
We present to you our top 10 cards that you will miss.
Place 10: Glevehr
One of the most annoying cards in the expansion was definitely the Glevehr for Hunters. For just 2 mana, the weapon had stats of 2/2 and could easily remove smaller threats from the board or deal the first hits to the beloved “Face.” As if that weren’t annoying enough, the weapon also grants a friendly minion +1 attack when played, which typically leads to even more damage that had to be received in the early turns of the game.
We will definitely not miss this card – but we don’t play Hunters either.
Place 9: Instable Portal
The Instable Portal is considered one of the cards with the highest random factor in the game, but it was still used in many decks. For 2 mana, the Mage received a random minion that cost 3 mana less. This led to numerous fun situations, where one could play a Ragnaros in turn 4 (with the coin) or receive a class card that opponents did not expect at all. For example, Prophet Velen likes to double the damage of Fireballs and Pyroblasts.
Of course, the spell could also go horribly wrong and spit out a Murloc. In any case, the Instable Portal was a card that provided fun and memorable moments and will likely be fondly remembered by players.
Place 8: Call to Arms
Call to Arms was quite ridiculed upon its initial announcement, but quickly became a staple in many Paladin decks. For 3 mana, it summons 3 1/1 minions and equips a 1/4 weapon. Especially in combination with one or even two Knife Juggler, the three recruits of the Silver Hand could clear the board effectively. What remains is then simply cleaned up manually with the weapon, and one has drawn a significant benefit from a very cheap card. A versatile card that is finally going into its well-deserved summer break.
Place 7: Shielded Minibot
And it gets even tougher for Paladins. The 2/2 minion for 2 mana, Shielded Minibot, also ends up in the junkyard of Mechs. It has long been regarded as one of the strongest Paladin cards, as it has a Divine Shield and thus often results in a free trade favoring the Paladin.
There was hardly a deck where the Minibot was not used, whether Aggro or Secret Paladin, the little mech is too valuable to exchange for another creature.
Place 6: Bite of the Death
Warriors have to say goodbye to one of the most powerful weapons in the game, as the Bite of the Death will be leaving the ranked mode and will only be available in the “Wild” mode in the future. For 4 mana, the axe had stats of 4/2 and had the “Whirlwind” deathrattle: “Deal 1 damage to all minions.” This allowed for numerous effects to be combined. Angry Berserkers could be made even stronger, Acolytes of Pain became card batteries, and Armor Masters could generate massive amounts of armor. Since it occupied a fixed place in almost all Warrior decks, this blade will likely be missed painfully.
On the second page, we will discuss the remaining top 5.

In the MMO shooter Destiny they are currently presenting the exotic items that are coming to the game or better said “the ones coming back to the game.”
They said nothing about it in the stream, but right now the exotic items that will come to Destiny on April 12 are being presented. It seems that it will mainly focus on exclusively be about “upgraded” Exotics from Year 1, which can then also reach the new maximum values in Year 2, i.e., 335 Attack or Defense value.
There should be a total of 13 Exotics, 5 of which are weapons.
The first is one of the weapons from “House of Wolves.” It is Queenbreaker’s Bow, the fusion rifle Queenbreaker.
Also already confirmed: Cleansed Robe, a Warlock chest piece.
The Titan helmet “Eternal Warrior“, the helmet with the statue look, is also making it to Year 2.
The shotgun “The Universal Remote” will make it to Year 2.
The Hunter chest piece Lucky Raspberry is back.
The extravagant shotgun “Lord of Wolves,” one of the Prison of Elders weapons, has arrived in Year 2.
The Hunter helmet ATS/8 Arachnoid – Welcome to Year 2, you little creepy crawler.
The Titan gloves ADC/0 Feedback Fence are back. I can’t wait to write this name with enthusiasm over and over again. Feedback Fence. The German language can be so beautiful.
The stylish Titan helmet “The Glasshouse” is one of the 13 exotic items that will make it from Year 1 to Year 2 of Destiny.
The Warlock gloves “Sunbreakers”, which Xur liked so much and Warlocks hated at the beginning, are also included.
The pistol “Dreg’s Promise” concludes. Those are the 13 exotic weapons and armor pieces we will welcome in Destiny on April 12.
A little of the suspense was ruined this time regarding which exotic items it would be. Because before the reveal, they released this puzzle image on Instagram. There, the right experts could already spot which items it would be based on the icons.
A streamer plays a “dead” MMO and encounters a strange character. Quite a bizarre story.
The Last Player of His World
Hardly any player will be familiar with the MMO “Active Worlds” which was released around 1995. Essentially a kind of forefather of sandbox games, it allowed players to create their own worlds and share them with others. The sad reality: the game is dead. The YouTuber vinesauce plays “special” games from time to time, and recently he dived into Active Worlds during a stream to take a look around. Wandering through a completely abandoned MMO is already creepy enough, as it has something unsettling of an apocalyptic vision.
It gets creepy when the streamer then meets the NPC “Hitomi Fujiko” – or so he thinks. After a short time, the NPC starts talking to him and reveals that “This world is deserted” and asks “Am I real? Are you real?” You should check it out yourself.

It quickly becomes obvious that Hiromi Fujiko is another player who can still be found on the game server and is probably just playing a bit of RP to mess with the streamer.
Mein-MMO says: Whether this really happened or was just a setup by the streamer can’t be determined in hindsight. But even if the whole thing is just a fake, the story is quite entertaining and shows some disturbing images of what happens to our “favorite worlds” when all players have moved on. Quite creepy remnants that could still somehow tell a story.

The event starts at 8:00 PM. Guest will be Art Lead Keith Bachman, who will likely talk about the style of the new items. Designer Brenton Woodrow will focus more on the game mechanics and explain how the Guardians will reach 335. This is the new Light maximum level.
6:40 PM: A few background infos. According to Community Manager DeeJ, we will not only find out how to get this fancy sword or the Titan’s look in this picture:
No, it will also be revealed what the “gift” for the update is. The item that the Guardians will pull out of the mailbox on April 12.
7:00 PM: The most exciting question for most: What new exotic armor pieces are coming? Are these the missing “Glorious Seven? ” What armor pieces and exotic weapons from Year 1 will return? And are there even new Year 2 Exotics that we don’t know about yet?
7:15 PM: For those who don’t know the procedure yet. Usually, the stream starts at 7:55, then there’s a 10-minute countdown, which ends around 8:05. Then, often there’s a trailer for about 30-90 seconds, and then it starts.
Today, there should actually be a relatively compact, short affair. Probably, there will mainly be pictures of items. The question is how much they will also change the merchants’ offerings. Will they adjust the Light levels at Xur and Banshee-44? There is a lot to discuss, but probably little to show or material that can be played.
7:25 PM: Game Designer Brenton Woodrow, whom we will see shortly, has been with Bungie for about two and a half years. But only since February of this year is he the “Investment and Activities” designer in the live team responsible for these patches. “Investment” is always about rewards and how good they should be, and what one must achieve for them. Woodrow is said to be quite young, but already has 5 years in the industry. He earned his spurs for two years at Dungeons and Dragons Online for Turbine. So, he’s an MMO player.
7:30 PM: Art Lead Keith Bachman, on the other hand, is significantly older, has been in the industry forever. 11 years at Sony, the last 5 years at Ubisoft, where he worked on Far Cry 4 and Watch Dogs. Only since January 2016 at Bungie. They have significantly reinforced their personnel behind the scenes – recently it was rumored that 700 people are working for Bungie on Destiny. That is really gigantic for the notoriously large teams of MMOs.
7:45 PM: DeeJ is already having fun. He announces this as a “fashion show,” they want to present the spring collection. Guardians should make room in their wardrobe.
7:50 PM: Guardians are of course immediately and provisionally demanding an eightfold storage space.
7:55 PM: Long-term, regarding the items, perhaps the most exciting structural question: Will they reintroduce “Overweapons” – like in Year 1 with Icebreaker, Gjallarhorn, Vex Mythoclast and many others? The weapon selection is now significantly more balanced, but perhaps a bit lacking in motivation. Bungie wanted to move away from “Gjallarhorn, nothing else” – it would be interesting to know if they are satisfied with that decision in hindsight.
7:58 PM: We were quite good with the assessment. The countdown has started; it looks like it’s going to be around 8:08. Then it’s supposed to start.
8:02 PM: Before it starts, a little warming up:

8:07 PM: If we made a hit list of which Year 1 Exotics players wish to see again, I think Gjallarhorn would be number 1, Icebreaker number 2, then a long gap and eventually the rest. Favorites for a return are the 3 House of Wolves Exotics. Players barely had time to play around with them back then. Regarding Icebreaker and Gjallarhorn, it was said: If they return at all, then not like in Year 1.
This is where the live stream for Destiny begins
8:08 PM: Oh, trailer. Lord of the Wolves and Queenbreaker’s Bow both included!
8:09 PM: New Sparrows, new ships also confirmed. And something with “effects.” New Monarchy Titan in red, Future War Cult Hunter in a yellow-blue outfit, and Deej plays a Dead Orbit Warlock in white. These are the 3 mannequins that will present the items.
8:13 PM: Oh, you can turn off the interface, a kind of “screenshot mode.” Players have wanted this for a long time.
5 different armor sets, new emotes
8:16 PM: They are now showing the outfits of Dead Orbit for the 3 classes – and this glow can be seen that fans had already recognized . This is the new “Chroma System” – Guardians can customize their look more precisely. There will be 4 colors to modify shaders. This glow can be set per item . White, yellow, blue, red.
8:18 PM: There’s the Karate Kid “One-legged Kick” emote new. New emotes will also come, right. On reddit, they have already recognized the “Elaine Dance” from the series Seinfeld. That’s “The way people dance who think they can dance and are under a terrible illusion.”
8:21 PM: There is a own “Taken” armor line. Those are the images we have seen. So these are not shaders, but unique armors for Warlock, Titan, and Hunter in Destiny – with special Taken weapons. These should be available in the new Winter’s Run Strike. Special feature: If you have the complete Taken set, you will receive the Shiver emote.
8:23 PM: The fifth armor set being shown now is specifically designed for the Chroma System so that these colors stand out. The community is dubbing it the “Tron Outfit.” DeeJ is already drooling over the Warlock outfit. That’s quite noticeable.
Wasted and Chroma armor in the “Sterling Treasure” box
8:25 PM: The Taken armors and the Tron stuff are available through “Sterling Treasure.” This is a new package. You get 3 of them a week. One for free, one through the 41 Prison of Elders, and one when you complete a match in the Featured Crucible playlist. Or you can buy them for real money.
These are “cosmetic items” with defense value 3. In the “Sterling Treasure,” there will be “guaranteed items” and bonus items that you can only get randomly. The game will display what can come out. Transparency.
8:27 PM: The “armor sets” of the factions are available through the faction packages. Oh pretty – “Waning Star” a Taken ship. Nice. It’s also in the box. The Chroma modifications themselves (the lighting effects) are also available ONLY in the Sterling box or if you dismantle a Chroma armor piece.
Infusion will be completely different: 1:1
8:31 PM: Infusion now works completely differently. You receive 1:1 the values. A defense value 3 item goes completely up to 330 when the stronger item has 330. This brings the “fun” back into “infusion!”
8:32 PM: The Chroma System works like this: You assign a “Chroma” to an item, and it then has the color. But you can reroll the color on the item for 100 Glimmer. So it’s only important to have a Chroma item. The color is then no problem.
8:34 PM: Shadow Price with 330 attack value! And a third slot in the vault. Badger CCL, Lord High Fixer all come to the new max values – these are Year 1 Legendaries. Some of the old favorites. Grim Citizen III, The Saterienne Rapier, The Devil You Know, The Swarm, the Zombie Apocalypse is back, oh, the LDR 5001, Two to the Graveyard, The Comedian. These weapons will be obtainable through legendary engrams. Old memories are sure to awaken with these weapons. Veterans will certainly associate some experiences with them.
8:37 PM: Really a nice fashion show right now.
8:39 PM: 5 new legendary emotes – including the Taken Shiver and Shia LaBeouf’s motivational meme “Do it! Just do it!” – the Elaine dance and much more. 10 “normal, blue” emotes are also available with a Sumo dance, a farewell wave, a Crane kick, a really nasty taunt, and some others. We will probably present all of this separately in the next days, I think.
8:41 PM: They are currently solving some annoying problems. When upgrading the faction packs, there are more interesting rewards – that’s good. And making the infusion easier is certainly a good idea. As for the chromas – yeah, why not? Taken ships – Destiny also thrives on the coolness.
335 items through Iron Banner, Trials, exotic engrams, Prison of Elders
8:44 PM: The strongest enemies will have 335 – in Challenge Mode in the Prison of Elders, the last round. Otherwise, enemies have 330 or lower.
Guardians will receive 335 items in Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, from exotic engrams, in the Prison of Elders, as strike-exclusive items, and also in Hardmode King’s Fall (but only after a hotfix, not immediately).
8:45 PM: Guardians will also be able to color weapons – these are basically “weapon shaders” or at least weapon colorings. Red or white, currently being demonstrated. Here you see the Taken sword and a shotgun with special effects. The Taken sword will be a “Void sword.” The “Taken items” will probably be available in the newly revamped Arc Priest Strike Winter’s Run.
8:48 PM: Ghost with a Taken look from the Challenge of the Elders.
8:50 PM: Still nothing about new exotic items. That should come later. So far, this pretty much meets expectations. It’s what has been hinted at in recent days with the “Chroma” and Taken.
8:52 PM: The farewell is happening. There was actually no information about new or returning exotics. Maybe they will announce that next week or then on Instagram like last time. 90,000 viewers were there at the end. It was actually a nice, round thing.
Summary of the stream on rewards in Destiny
There will be 5 new armor sets: Three for the faction reputations – these will be available from reputation packages. One “Chroma” set and one for the Taken – these will come from the “Sterling Treasure” box.
Some legendary weapons from Year 1 are returning, which will be infused from “legendary engrams.” In total, there will probably be 26 legendary weapons that will “return.” This likely also includes the Queen’s weapons as a reward for the high score in the Prison of Elders.
Infusion now runs 1:1 – so it will be relatively easy to upgrade cosmetic items.
The “Taken” set and the Chroma set (TRON) will come from the “Sterling Treasure” box. They can be obtained from various PvE and PvP activities, or you can buy them from Tess. Without cash expenditures, there are 3 per week: one via the Postmaster, one through completing the “normal” Prison of Elders, and one when you finish a match in the weekly Crucible playlist.
The 3 “faction armor sets” will be in faction packages.
Through the “Chroma” system, you will be able to make armors glow in one of 4 colors. These “Chroma” are also in the “Sterling Treasure.”
Weapons can also have such colorings.
Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, strike-exclusive items, exotic engrams, the Prison of Elders in challenge mode, and later also Hardmode King’s Fall will drop 335 items.
15 new emotes will come through the cash shop.
Exotics will return. So far, one can already count: 13 exotics, of which 5 are weapons. The image was provided by Bungie:

In FIFA 16, goalkeepers are involved in and in bizarre scenes – or significantly involved. We showcase some goalkeeper fails in the video.
The goalkeeper in EA Sports’ annual football simulation has essentially always been a topic of extensive discussions and a cause of many player rants. Especially in FIFA 15, the player community agreed that the goalkeepers were a disaster. With FIFA 16, everything was supposed to get better. Was this endeavor successful?
Unfortunately, no! Goalkeepers in the game still show actions that make you want to throw your hands over your head. Granted, one has to admit that they generally perform more intelligently compared to the previous year and create fewer mistakes. Nevertheless, it is extremely frustrating when goalkeeper AI mistakes decide close games.
Whether one can chuckle about these unfortunate actions of the goalkeepers or is on the verge of throwing their controller against the wall always depends on whether they benefit from them or suffer a severe disadvantage. Now we want to take a look at a few of these wild goalkeeper actions.
These goalkeepers in FIFA 16 are having a bad day
In the first video, a goalkeeper puts all his potential into saving a ball. Somehow, the ball still ends up in the goal. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear: Something is not right with his right arm.

In this video, the ball is deflected – sure, such situations are always difficult for a goalkeeper – but the ball doesn’t seem so impossible to save. The goalkeeper probably threw in the towel a bit too early.
https://youtu.be/H_Iu2s8DeGM
At first glance, it seems that a flawless long-range goal is scored here. The replay shows that the goalkeeper made a rather strange attempt to save.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Lord Saladin is back with the Iron Banner in March. We present the rewards.
Since Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM, the March Iron Banner in Destiny has been running. The mode played is Control. The Iron Banner will end on Tuesday, April 5th, at 11 AM.
The trick to gaining as much reputation as possible usually involves the bounties, and one should wear the appropriate reputation items: An Iron Banner emblem, a shader, and the class item. By the end of the week, the reputation bonus increases significantly. If you want to “level up” multiple characters, you should ensure that one Guardian is prioritized a bit. As long as one Guardian has a higher reputation rank than the others, the “smaller” ones will receive a big reputation bonus.
It is important to pick up the “packages” from Saladin at rank 3 and rank 5. The rank 5 package can contain really good stuff: A ghost shell with 310 and then an Iron Banner item, a weapon or armor piece, with 310 and above.
However, chance plays a big role here, and with the “light increase to 335 coming soon” this balances out.
What rewards are there in the Iron Banner in March?
Directly from Lord Saladin as a purchasable item with fixed attributes, there are:
Starting from rank 3, a chest armor
Starting from rank 4, the hand cannon, gloves, and PlayStation-exclusive gloves
Starting from rank 5, the machine gun
The three PlayStation-exclusive gloves of the individual classes.
After battles in the Iron Banner, items can drop randomly. With “rank” referring to the rank of your highest-ranked Guardian:
From rank 2: The chest armor
From rank 3: The hand cannon, gloves, and PlayStation-exclusive gloves
From rank 4: The machine gun

These are the two purchasable weapons from Lord Saladin
Today we are taking a closer look at the two purchasable weapons with fixed stats.
The hand cannon Finnala’s Färnis
Finnala’s Färnis is a strong hand cannon according to its stats. If Bungie adjusts the weapon balance in the next patch, it could be one of the strongest legendary hand cannons out there. The perks are rather mediocre. It comes with “Third Eye” and “Unrelenting Pursuer.” You can also take Hand Loader or Smallbore with it.
A decent weapon, but “randomly” dropped with Outlaw, Triple Tap, or Roulette is certainly a more exciting choice.
The machine gun Bretomart’s Defense
The MG Bretomart’s Defense is really good like almost every machine gun. It’s really rare for a weapon type to say: You can’t use that at all.
The purchasable version comes with solar damage, field choke, spray and play, crowd control, and reinforced barrel.
A very decent version of the weapon. But, let’s be honest, by now almost every Guardian should have found “their heavy weapon” for the current content level.
Is it all worth it?
Actually not. It’s like so often in Destiny: The later it gets in a patch cycle, the “less worth” such activities really become. Especially since new content will arrive on April 12th. The rewards will be presented tonight – we will be there with a live ticker starting at 8:00 PM.
These are solid items available here, but they can’t compete with the monsters such as what Banshee-44 had on offer this morning. Still, one should not be discouraged. If you enjoy the Iron Banner, you can definitely dive into the fray. Have fun with it!
