In the MMO shooter Destiny the Trials of Osiris will take place on January 29th on the map Pantheon.
The Iron Banner is still running with modified rules, the Trials of Osiris started at 7:00 PM on Friday and will still have the “normal rules,” so nothing changes there. This round of Trials of Osiris will end on Tuesday at 10:59 AM.
Bungie has selected the map “Pantheon” – snipers rejoice. Pantheon was already an Osiris map last year, so we can provide a video with tips – you will need to adapt it to today’s context, but the principles still apply.

Regarding the rewards, just a quick note as always: Most come through bounties. Hardcore players manage to reach Mercury for flawless loot – activating the bonuses on the seal helps.
With 5 wins, there is a helm today, and with 7 wins, a machine gun. At least if the predictions are correct, as a pattern has been recognized in the last weeks that proves to be correct.
Interestingly, how Derek Carol, the Osiris manager at Bungie, describes the fans’ reactions to the announcement that Pantheon would be the Osiris map:
YES! NO! WORST MAP! THANK YOU FINALLY! NEVER AGAIN WHY BUNGO THANKS
The slightly different post-apocalyptic MMO Crossout is looking for players for its tests.
Crossout is like a kind of bumper car, only that instead of bumper cars, there are crazy modified killing machines that have dashed straight from this Mad Max movie onto the PC. One of the focuses of the game is even on tinkering and messing with the machines.
In any case, Crossout is eager to show more players what it has. The action MMO is in a “Battle Test” and states: Anyone who signs up for the test by February 7th has significantly increased chances of getting in and trying it out.

For those on the waiting list for the beta of The Division, there is a message from Ubisoft.
Apparently, Ubisoft is being overwhelmed. This morning the access via PSN was already changed to PlayStation, now they are telling players on the waiting list: Guys, if you’re still on the list, your chances of getting into the game today are slim. It’s too crowded. However, we want to make sure that everyone who wants to play The Division can do so. That is still the plan.
Players on the waiting list should check back tomorrow to see if their status has changed.
The in-game shop of Blade & Soul is receiving its first update since the release, exchanging some costumes. We reveal what is now available for purchase.
Sexy Angels and Schoolgirls
If MMORPGs from Korea are known for anything, it’s their extravagant costumes that aim to extract euros from the customers’ wallets – Blade & Soul is no exception. After the action MMORPG had a damn great launch in the West with over 1 million players, there is now the first small update in the shop. A ton of new costumes and accessories are being added, including angels in lingerie – for both genders. Naughty angels.
However, some costumes have also been removed from the shop. The winter outfits are no longer available, but don’t worry: there are already replacements. Colorful dresses and a schoolgirl outfit should help make up for the absence of the red winter coats.
A complete list of the new costumes can be found in our sources.
Newcomers should check out these 7 beginner tips to ensure a successful start in the game.
More and more MMORPGs are finding their way to the gaming platform Steam. Now also the classic Knight Online.
The Korean MMO Knight Online is now almost 12 years old, yet it still has a very loyal fan base. This is partly because the game still plays like it did in 2004, when it was released. Even in the USA, Knight Online has a large and loyal fan base.
A classic finds its way to Steam
If you are not yet on board but would like to check out the classic, you can now do so through Valve’s gaming platform Steam. Because the MMO is now playable through it as well. However, if you think you can transfer your account to the Steam version, you are unfortunately mistaken. The Steam version uses its own servers and even its own client, so you have to start over.
http://youtu.be/Ve4tRWNr_Fk
Focus on fast PvP battles
The MMO Knight Online has always focused on PvP battles. You decide at the beginning whether you want to belong to the nation El Morad or Karus. This also determines whether you want to play as a human or an orc. Castle sieges and guild wars are part of the daily routine in the MMO. Besides that, you can also explore the vast world and complete quests. You can improve your hero throughout the adventures not only through skills but also through expandable equipment.
Knight Online may be a bit outdated now, which is especially noticeable in the graphics. Nevertheless, the fast and sometimes chaotic PvP battles are still a lot of fun today. If you want to try it out, you can do so easily, as the MMORPG relies on a free-to-play model, allowing you to test it without having to pay anything.
The Moon Festival in Heroes of the Storm is just around the corner – players can expect bonus quests and some unique skins!
The Nexus in Celebration
Almost simultaneously with the Moon Festival in World of Warcraft, the same event begins in Heroes of the Storm – though it is celebrated differently there. Players can look forward to limited-time quests, special portraits, new skins in the shop, and a fresh mount. If you want to take advantage of the various benefits of the event, you have plenty of time, the celebrations run from February 2 to March 1, so almost a month long.
Temporary Quests
If you’re only after free earnable bonuses, you should focus on the special quests available during the Moon Festival. This includes a new (and additional) daily event quest, as well as a longer task that applies throughout the entire event.
Every day you will receive the task “Catch the Ancestor Monkey” and the name says it all. In each game, you have a 50% chance that the monkey will appear before the start of a match. The team must work together to slow it down and then catch it. If successful, you get 100 gold (once per day).
A total of 25 games must be completed to receive the portrait “Ancestor Monkey” – a victory is not required and the matches can also be completed in battles against AI.
New Shop Items – Jaina and Illidan in Japanese Style
As it should be, the Moon Festival also comes with unique skins. Besides last year’s skins, namely Moon Festival Chen and Moon Festival Li Li, this time there are two newcomers. Jaina and Illidan put on stylish, Asian festive clothing and can be purchased as part of a bundle. Only those who buy this “Bundle: Moon Festival 2016” will also enjoy the new mount “Moon Festival Dragon.”
Rift is currently in a bit of a crisis – players are going on the barricades, as certain armors can now only be unlocked with real money.
Keeping the Business Alive
RIFT has drawn the wrath of players last week and provoked a medium-sized shitstorm. Since January 27, certain equipment has effectively been behind a paywall. Over a year ago, new earrings and armors were introduced with “Nightmare Tide” that required “Plainswalker: Water” badges to wear them. These were either available if you purchased a specific version of the game, directly acquired in the in-game shop, or farmed for a long time with in-game currency. And this last option has now been removed.
From now on, it is only possible to directly purchase the corresponding items from the in-game shop. The Pay2Win accusations – which are not entirely unfounded – followed immediately. Other players predicted that this change clearly shows that “Rift is dying” and that they just want to milk the players until they bury the MMO.
Linda Carlson, who holds the position of Director of Community Relations and is better known in the forum as “Brasse”, responded to accusations on another front of the same battle (Refer-Coins can no longer be exchanged for REX) and explained in an extensive forum post:
“Rift is not dying, not in the slightest. We are changing how we ask our players for support so that the game remains healthy in the future and we move in the right direction.”
Also intriguing is a figure she mentions, as even good Free2Play games only have 7-15% of players ever spending real money. “The truth is, the more you give away for free, the harder it is to keep game development going.” Patron players, people with monthly subscriptions, cannot finance the game alone, nor should they. And a company cannot survive by selling only cosmetic items in the shop – these are only for 5-10% of players.
She even resorts to bold text as she states: “This decision was not made out of greed. It was a decision based on the reality of running a business – as is the case with any kind of business.”
Fueling Gambling Addiction
They also justified the purchasable lockboxes. Numerous players complained about the system, as the items contained in the boxes are heavily dependent on chance – and this greatly bothers some players. Carlson writes:
“Lockboxes work [as a sales item] because they contain an element of surprise and anticipation that people (and dwarves) love. Countless data support the fact that people enjoy being surprised and therefore are more inclined to accept lockboxes than to buy individual items in the shop.”
Ultimately, she even compares the system to card packs from other games: “As a comparison, consider that other games like Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone also sell ‘lockboxes’ in the form of card packs – that would never work if they sold the cards individually and directly. Don’t ask me how much money I have spent on these games. A lot.”
Portalarium, the developers of the selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar, have now announced the plans for the release of the game.
On July 28, the final wipe will take place. All characters will then be deleted for the last time and the status of the world will be reset. On this day, the distribution of the limited building plots in the game will also begin. These will be allocated in waves based on the amount paid and the date on which a building plot was reserved.
Soft Launch for SotA
Portalarium also announces that there will be no regular release of the game. No one needs to wait for a final release date, as there will not be one. Rather, they will proceed in the same way as they have so far. Each month, a new update will be released, adding new content and new features to the game. This also means that the story of Episode 1 will not be completed by the final wipe but will gradually find its way into the game.
Is the Offline Mode disappointing?
Some fans are quite disappointed with the planned features for the offline mode. This mode will have its own respawn rules, which are intended to give the feeling of being able to achieve something in the world. There will also be an NPC economy, through which players can make a profit by selling items, and NPC companions will find their way into the game, although nothing is yet known about them.
Disappointment arises because it is still uncertain whether multiple save games can be created in the offline mode. Furthermore, there will likely be no way to advance time by sleeping. This could lead to quite annoying gameplay. NPCs will have daily routines, and if, for example, you need to meet an NPC at a specific time in a specific place, but have no way to speed up time and must wait in real time, it could lead to frustration.
It is also demanded that at least for the offline mode, the UI should be worked on so it does not resemble an MMO UI and does not contain unnecessary windows and information for a single-player mode. The developers, however, have not yet commented on this, which in turn fuels players’ fears of an offline mode that is just an appendage.

Capcom spoke about the revenue in the past year – they were good. Especially two titles performed well – including Monster Hunter Online.
Is there hope for a Western release of Monster Hunter Online?
The Japanese publisher Capcom presented its business figures for the past 9 months – and they are extremely positive. The net profit from April to December 2015 amounts to nearly 57 billion yen – approximately 365 million euros. This is a significant increase compared to the same time period last year, with a growth of 19% – rosy times for Capcom.
A special reason given is the increased focus on the mobile market: They have opened up a broader spectrum of players, especially “women, families and older players” have joined.
The game Dragon’s Dogma Online, released for PS3, PS4, and PC, has reportedly “developed strongly.” With more than 1,500,000 downloads, the game has made a “solid start” – and in the future, the title is expected to continue to grow and become one of the new core projects. DDO is planning to introduce a new class, the Elemental Archer, soon.
The Monster Hunter Online (MHO) operated by Tencent launched in China last December and “had a good start, which raises the chances of business expansion.” While this is far from a promise, it may encourage Western fans that the title might ultimately find its way to Europe. MHO recently received an update with new weapons and tougher monsters.
In our today’s “My MMO Asks” everything revolves around microtransactions. Especially in full-price games, they are heavily criticized by gamers. What do you think about it?
Microtransactions in Full-Price Titles are Increasing
More and more publishers are incorporating so-called microtransactions into their games; it now seems completely irrelevant whether the games are offered at full price or whether they are – at first glance – free to play. Especially in the latter, players have somewhat gotten used to investing either time or money to progress in the game.
But more and more full-price titles are also relying on microtransactions. Prominent examples include Evolve, the FIFA series, and since last autumn even Destiny.
What are Microtransactions?
For all these games (and of course countless others), smaller or larger packages are available that can be purchased with “real money”. Usually, a small in-game shop has been set up, such as the Eververse in the Tower of Destiny. Here you can obtain a specific currency for real money (in Destiny “Silver”, in FIFA 16 it’s “FIFA Points”), which you can invest in useful or simply nice things.
It must be distinguished whether these purchases provide a level boost, unlock entire game content, or are only cosmetic in nature.
Microtransactions Only for Cosmetics?
Especially in full-price titles, for which one casually pays 60 euros at the register, microtransactions are predominantly limited to cosmetics or optional content that is not crucial to gameplay. In Destiny, you can only purchase amusing gimmicks, like additional gestures or dances; all important game content is available to everyone.
In FIFA 16, you progress faster in Ultimate Team with FIFA Points, as you can open several packs at once, for which you would otherwise have to play numerous games. But even here, microtransactions are completely optional; no additional money needs to be invested to play all game modes and contents successfully. However, it can also happen that you lose track a bit and – poof – 5000 euros from Dad’s credit card are gone.
In Evolve, people took to the streets when they found out that the game relies entirely on microtransactions and new monsters will cost around 15 euros. Players who do not wish to spend anything more after purchasing the game are limited in their selection to 12 hunters and 3 monsters that they can unlock over time. Of course, there are some savings offers, but most players would surely be happier if they could enjoy the thrill of this game in full without further investments. After all, they paid for a full-price game.
What do you think? Do you see microtransactions in full-price titles as unacceptable profiteering or do you feel indifferent about it, following the motto: “Everyone has to decide for themselves; I’m not spending extra money.” As long as microtransactions are limited to cosmetics, you’re probably not doing too badly with that.
Or do you see it completely differently and say: “Hey, great, I’m happy to invest five euros and finally stand out from the crowd with my new dance moves?”

Developers have a sense of humor and often hide Easter eggs in their games, which are meant to make players smile. So it is in Ubisoft’s online shooter RPG The Division. The developers seem to be big fans of the movie “Shaun of the Dead” by director Edgar Wright.
Through the Fence!
In the film, a zombie apocalypse occurs and Shaun (played by Simon Pegg) wants to escape with his girlfriend and friends to the local pub, hoping to be safe there. Shaun of the Dead is part of Edgar Wright’s “The Cornetto” trilogy, where there is a recurring scene: The “heroes” try to flee over garden fences, which never works out.
https://youtu.be/r5446u686BM
In the currently ongoing beta of Ubisoft’s The Division, there is a spot in the game world where someone has attempted the same. While investigating the scene and realizing that someone apparently wanted to jump over the fence but instead knocked it over, one hears the corresponding dialogue from the matching scene in the movie “Shaun of the Dead”.

So even in a dark world full of chaos and terrorism, there is still plenty of humor. One can be curious about what other Easter eggs Ubisoft has hidden in the MMO. If you want to find out for yourself, you can participate in the closed beta until January 31 – provided you get access, which you can obtain by pre-ordering the game quickly!
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Some players are already messing around in the closed beta of The Division. Here are 7 tips and tricks on how to survive in the Dark Zone.
Yesterday marked the start of the closed beta for Xbox One. Starting today at 1:00 PM, Playstation and PC players can also take a look at Ubisoft’s upcoming MMO shooter. A player on reddit has spoken up, someone who was able to test the alpha. He gives you seven tips on how to ensure that the Dark Zone, the PvP area in The Division, doesn’t lead to your demise.
7. Be sure to use the subway tunnels!
In a heated battle, it is certainly advantageous to have the option to disappear underground. The subway system is not a good means of quickly getting from A to B, but the tunnels are quite useful for surprising your opponents from ambush. Even if you are about to kick the bucket, you can quickly hide down there. At least as long as there isn’t an opponent waiting for you…
6. You should avoid the Extraction Zones!
The alpha tester strongly advises you to never, and I mean NEVER, wait unprotected out in the open for the helicopter. He has seen countless agents die because they were simply eliminated by the next sniper or flanked by opponents. Remember: Cover is your friend!
5. You should REALLY avoid the Extraction Zones!
You’re probably wondering why this point is mentioned twice. Quite simply: You can also use this “graveyard” to your advantage! Because here you can reap plenty of loot. It’s best to work as a team: one sniper clears from a distance and provides cover for the team, two of you keep watch on the flanks, and one, preferably a tank, causes a distraction and a ruckus in the middle. Of course, you can also come up with your own tactics!
4. Spend your money like there’s no tomorrow!
Be aware that you are only playing a beta and that you cannot transfer your statistics and achievements to the full game. So spend everything you have without feeling guilty. It’s advisable to buy as many weapons as possible, especially the purple ones with high damage, so you can find out which weapon type you prefer. And remember, just because a weapon looks cool doesn’t mean it’s a good weapon.
3. Communicate with your team!
Not only in a good relationship but also in the Dark Zone, successful communication is invaluable. Don’t be like one of those guys who yell “They’re coming!” wildly without specifying from which direction or how far away they are.
It is indeed advantageous if you know the map. So, remember key locations as quickly as possible and familiarize yourself with the area. Your colleagues should then, of course, also know what is meant. By the way, this game uses the metric system. That’s not a problem for us, but Americans might struggle with it.
2. Become a “Rogue Agent”!
One of the best memories of the alpha player was when he reached the maximum “wanted level” and had thereby turned the entire Dark Zone against him. The tension was indescribable as he hid with his buddy behind some scaffolding, pressed back to back, and kept a vigilant watch over the streets. That raises the pulse!
1. Have fun!
This tip may not be as trivial as it sounds. Because you also have to just relax sometimes. Many players took the game too seriously in the alpha and completely lost their composure when they were beaten. So go out there, don’t insult anyone, and have fun!
Agents, we’ll see you on the streets!
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
This was discussed in numerous forums and gaming sites over the last few days, and of course, Ubisoft took notice of it as well. But they are clever folks, and instead of saying: You cheated us, we will ban that, they say:
“We see an unprecedented interest in the Closed Beta of The Division, and we would like to sincerely thank our fans for their passion and enthusiasm.
We have already reached the maximum number of players we need to test the game and our infrastructure in the beta and to prepare for the launch on March 8.
Therefore, we will now close access to the beta through the PSN pre-order system.”

What does Xur have for sale? What is his inventory?
Xur has the machine gun Thunderlord today. He wants 17 strange coins for the Hell Machine, which was one of the most popular and rare weapons in Year 1. No current Engram.
For armor pieces, he sells the Titan helmet Celestial Warrior (32/47 INT, 30/45 DIS). It costs 13 strange coins.
For Hunters, there is the helmet Skyburner’s Annex. (34/49 INT, 36/51 DIS)
And for Warlocks, Xur has the chest piece Alchemist’s Robe. (75/95 INT)
As a legacy engram, he has a chest armor piece. Year 1 chest armors with Year 1 stats can drop from it.
The huge hype around the latest Star Wars film “The Force Awakens” has given the publisher Electronic Arts (EA) quite a strong final quarter in 2015.
Star Wars Drives Huge Profits
The publisher Electronic Arts can also look back on a good year in 2015 – especially in the last quarter, from October 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, the gaming giant was able to make significant gains. The hype around the latest Star Wars film seems to have boosted sales across all platforms.
13 million copies of “Star Wars: Battlefront” are already in circulation.
One of the big successes was the shooter Star Wars: Battlefront, which was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In total, 13 million copies of the game were delivered to retailers – it is unknown how many actually reached players. However, it is noteworthy that the game has prompted many people to purchase a PlayStation 4; the various “Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 Bundles” sold more than 1 million units worldwide.
The appeal of the new players becomes even clearer when comparing revenue with the previous year. While in the autumn quarter of 2014 only “$388 million” in profit was achieved, this year it made a substantial “$596 million”.
However, a similar success was already predicted for EA – as pure revenue, a value of “$1.775 billion” was estimated, which was narrowly surpassed with “$1.803 billion”.
SWTOR experienced a new high in the last quarter.
The thematically appropriate MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic also seems to be flourishing, as it recorded the highest subscriber count in nearly 3 years over the past three months! This was brought about not only by the film but also by the expansion “Knights of the Fallen Empire”, which placed a strong focus on story – and its conclusion will last until summer 2016.
Apart from the lightsaber swinging, European players are thrilled by the round leather – even virtually. “Fifa 16” was the cross-platform bestseller in Europe in 2015.
For more details on the report, you can find them in our sources.

ARK: Survival Evolved is family-sized – a new dino can carry up to 3 players at once!
Threesome on a Dino
In the dino hit ARK: Survival Evolved, there was a new update that will please friends of the familiar two trio. The latest dino addition is called “Gallimimus” and can carry several players across the mysterious island.
Several other creatures, such as the oversized kangaroo, were able to carry multiple players. However, the Gallimimus is the first dino that can carry up to 3 players at once. It has a high speed and can make long jumps – but it also comes with some disadvantages. “Galli” cannot collect resources, attack other creatures, and therefore cannot defend itself – it is purely a transport animal to allow a small group to cover large distances quickly.

There are also some new equipment options: Fresh SWAT armor gives players a cool, military look and an electric baton can be used to stun other players. If you want to take over an enemy camp “peacefully”, you should grab this new weaponry right away.
In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Weekly Update is cancelled on Thursday evening; instead, they are addressing the lag in the Iron Banner.
Normally, there is a Weekly Update on the night from Thursday to Friday. There, Bungie presents its plans and ideas for the future and discusses the present.
After the leadership change and the huge troubles lately, one might have expected something significant to happen today, relieving the pressure by having Bungie drop information about their further plans – but no such luck. The Weekly Update is cancelled today and has been postponed until tomorrow.
Instead, new rules for matchmaking in the Iron Banner are now in effect. These will place even more emphasis on “good connection quality” and even less emphasis on finding skill-matched team pairings.
These results will now be measured again and everything will be compared.
The Weekly Update will not come until Friday evening. Also, on Friday, January 29th, Xur will arrive in the Tower at 10:00 AM. We will report on both.
The action MMORPG in manga style Elite Lord of Alliance received a new update that requires heroes to plunder the loot from the looters…
The Looters’ Hideout
The latest update (and the third part of the patch) of Elite Lord of Alliance (ELOA) is called “The Looters” and provides players with the new dungeon “Den of the Looters”. Unique weapons for level 50 await as rewards for completing various boss challenges.
PvP players can also look forward to new content, as the in-game event “The Battle” will take place from January 26 to February 2, during which players should play as much as possible. Depending on how much time they spend on the battlefield, different rewards await, such as “Disguise Scrolls”.
The patch has also planned a few days into the future, so players can look forward to a Valentine’s event that will last until February 16 and is sure to have one or another “heartfelt” surprise – for what else are cute manga characters for?

Regarding the upcoming MMO shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division (PC, PS4, Xbox One), the Season Pass has now been outlined and the content plans for 2016 have been presented.
In The Division, a Season Pass was already sold; now players are also informed about what it contains. In this context, it becomes clear: The Division plans 3 paid expansions throughout the year. Each of the expansions is supposed to enhance the game, extend the agent’s journey, and bring fresh gameplay, new gear, and game content.
Expansion 1 – Underground – In the first expansion, players will explore the yet uncharted underground beneath New York in a new zone. Agents can bring up to 3 friends for intense coop action.
Expansion 2 – Survival – Players must survive as long as possible in an “extremely hostile environment.”
Expansion 3 – Last Stand – No information is available yet.
In addition to these 3 DLCs, buyers of the Season Pass also receive:
a sawed-off shotgun, a unique sidearm designed for destruction at close range
a complete set of exclusive outfits and weapon skins
special monthly benefits, such as exclusive game content and special events
In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, the next DLC “The Thieves Guild” will be released in March. We will tell you when the release date is and how much the DLC costs.
When is the DLC Thieves Guild coming out for PC, PS4 and Xbox One?
The Thieves Guild will be on the test server next week. It will officially release on:
on March 7 on PC and Mac.
on March 22 on Xbox One
and on March 23 on PlayStation 4.
How much does the Thieves Guild cost for The Elder Scrolls Online
Players using the ESO+ subscription can access the content at no additional cost. Non-subscribers need 2000 Crowns to unlock the DLC. For 4000 Crowns, the DLC is available in the XXL version with a Hammerfell Camel as a mount, a Dragonfrog as a companion, and 5 Crown Experience Scrolls.
In Euros, this would be approximately 21 Euros for the standard version (3000 Crown package) and 35 Euros for the “large” version (5500 package). There wouldn’t be any leftover Crown packages in the shop.
In addition to the DLC, a free update will be released that also brings a lot of features.

Let’s take a look at what the announcement brings in terms of explicit new information:
New Information about the Thieves Guild
The announcement included information that a fresh system will bring three repeatable activities such as heists or thefts. You will complete missions throughout Tamriel for the Thieves Guild; here you will need to employ pickpocketing or breaking into safes. With heists, the goal is to sneak, avoid traps, or otherwise reach the loot. In “retrieval quests”, you will need to defeat group leaders and complete dungeons.
Additionally, there will be two new “open dungeons” in the DLC along with two leaders in the open world.
Four item sets await you in the trial, 2 sets in Hews Flare, and 3 new crafting sets. The crafting style: “The Outlaws” will be newly introduced.
And henchmen will join, who will not support you in combat but will take on other tasks.
The free patch will introduce six new item sets and 6 new crafting styles to Tamriel.
