The Division: Mit diesen 7 Tipps überlebt ihr in der Dark Zone der Closed Beta

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

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.

the-division-dark-zone

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!

Division-First-Person

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”!

Division-Freunde-Feinde

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!

The Division: Ubisoft closes the loophole – PSN pre-orders no longer provide beta access

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In The Division, a loophole has been closed that allowed Playstation players to access the beta of The Division.

It was a poorly kept secret: players could pre-order The Division through PSN, gained beta access, and then canceled the order. Then they were in the beta and done.

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.”

Destiny: Xur on January 29. – What does he have today?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur will visit on Friday, January 29th. The tentacled alien sells exotic items.

Turbulent times in Destiny. However, not in the game, but around it. Somehow, in the last few weeks, it felt like: Something has to happen now. And then they tell us that they have changed the boss.

One could almost assume that there would be some information in the Weekly Update, so to speak, the weekly bulletin from Bungie, but it was quiet: They postponed the Weekly Update to Friday evening, only adjusted the Iron Banner to reduce lag. Something seems to be happening in Destiny, but not last night.

Let’s get to Xur.

Destiny-Turret

All about Xur in Destiny on January 29th, 30th, and 31st.

When does Xur arrive and when does he leave?

Xur arrives on Friday, January 29th, at 10:00 AM. He leaves on Sunday, January 31st, at 10:00 AM. Then he leaves the Tower.

Where is Xur today? What is his location?

Thunderlord Destiny

For armor pieces, he sells the Titan helmet Celestial Warrior (32/47 INT, 30/45 DIS). It costs 13 strange coins.

Celestial Warrior Destiny

For Hunters, there is the helmet Skyburner’s Annex. (34/49 INT, 36/51 DIS)

Skyburner’s Annex Destiny

Battlefront and SWTOR in Full Swing: MMORPG Has Most Subscribers in 3 Years

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Star Wars Battlefront Domination Mass Battles
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 KOFE
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.

ARK: Neuer Reitdino für bis zu 3 Spieler!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

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.

Destiny: Instead of information about the future, they are once again tweaking matchmaking for less lag

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

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.

Aschrabenflug


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.

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Previously, it had been promised to include everything the game has to offer in the base game. Only recently did they start with DLCs, it was said.

Division Administration Building

The three expansions are:

  • 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

The Season Pass is included in the Gold Edition and in the “Sleeper Agent” version of the game. It is also supposed to be available for individual purchase when the game is released on March 8.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Thieves Guild – Release date and costs for PC, PS4, Xbox One

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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.
Thieves Guild

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.
Thieves Guild-TESO

The free patch will introduce six new item sets and 6 new crafting styles to Tamriel.

We have previously reported extensively on what the DLC “The Thieves Guild” will bring to TESO . You can find a complete list of all features here at Zenimax –  also in German.

Kingdom under Fire II (PC/PS4): So viel Action auf nur einem Schlachtfeld!

Kingdom under Fire II offers battles with 4 players – but thousands of soldiers at the same time!

Control and Order – in Kingdom under Fire II

When MMORPG meets real-time strategy, it means the hour of Kingdom under Fire II has struck. While you coordinate troop movements as a great strategist in the game, you can also lead your general, essentially the “hero”, into battle to slice through the hordes of enemies.

So far, we have only seen how this looks against the AI, now there is footage from a co-op battle where 4 players are attacking the rebel fortress together. How it looks live and in color can be seen in this video:

The footage wonderfully shows what will be possible in the game. Although some of the troop movements still look a bit rough – at times soldiers simply run into each other – these are hopefully just teething problems that will be ironed out in the coming months.

Kingdom under Fire 2 has now entered alpha on PC in China. In Korea, a PC and PS4 release is planned for spring 2016. The development history is very rocky with many delays.

Conan Exiles: Survival open-world game sounds like Ark, is expected to release in summer

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Funcom has now introduced a game in the Conan universe. Conan Exiles sounds like the survival hit Ark. It is also set to be released for consoles.

conan-screen-2

Funcom previously focused on MMORPGs like Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, or The Secret World. Then it faced financial difficulties and planned a change in direction. The Norwegian developer now wants to release games every year, both smaller and larger, and build on the licenses it has. In 2016, three games are set to be released.

After “The Park” last year, which referenced the “The Secret World” franchise, it is focusing on Conan in 2016. They also hold the rights to that.

Now they are introducing “Conan Exiles”. It is set to be an “Open World Survival” game and will be released this summer. It will support both single-player and multiplayer.

Conan-Gesicht

It is being developed for PC and consoles (which typically means Xbox One and Playstation 4 today, although that is not explicitly stated).

On PC, it is expected to be released this summer as an Early Access title, with a full release to follow “later” on PC and consoles. Conan Exiles will support both private and public servers.

More information than the video description and the accompanying video is currently not available.

Mein MMO thinks: All in all, it sounds quite similar to Ark Survival Evolved, the summer hit of 2015. With “The Park”, Funcom had already created the impression of jumping on a currently popular trend to become “as viral as possible for the least cost” – apparently, they have taken a liking to that.

The Secret World receives two long-awaited features today

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the fantasy/SF MMORPG The Secret World , players are receiving two long-awaited features today: an automatic group finder and the PvP zone Shambala.

In The Secret World, the announcement schedule has been a bit mixed up. The patch that was supposed to be presented in the last live stream, originally scheduled for Friday, is actually being released today. However, “The Streaming Ones” was canceled, aptly due to snow chaos.

This fits because the latest PvP zone Shambala is an icy affair. It will go live today relatively unceremoniously.

Shambala is somewhat like the “Atlantis” of Tibetan Buddhism. Just not submerged somewhere, but hidden in an icy valley. The new PvP scenario will be released today as part of a patch and will be free of charge.

PvP-Zone-Shambhala

Patch 1.13.2 also brings the long-awaited group finder feature. It is designed to work automatically and assign players to instance groups, a mechanic similar to what you might know from World of Warcraft.

SWTOR: Crafting revised – just as good items as through raiding?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) the crafting system is further refined – top-notch equipment can then be crafted by players themselves.

Crafting – Soon the easy alternative to raiding in SWTOR?

Although BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic’s crafting has already been significantly revamped with the introduction of the “Knights of the Fallen Empire” expansion, it hasn’t felt very relevant until now. The crafted clothing was too weak and players couldn’t derive enough benefits from the professions in general. This issue will be thoroughly addressed with the upcoming patch.

Swtor Crafting Grid
Crafting is set to become useful again!

Crafting is not only set to become relevant, but also to provide a real alternative to flashpoint and operation gear. Therefore, the profession limit will be raised to 550 and numerous new crafting materials will be introduced. The maximum craftable item level will range between 216 and 220 – it can therefore easily keep up with the more challenging content of the MMO. By the way, this is also a lucrative source of income, as the crafted items can be sold on the Galactic Trade Network for plenty of credits to wealthy players.

Those who like to spend their money on cartel coins and the associated packs might be pleased with the latest adjustment to them. With patch 4.1, all cartel packs have a chance to contain a “Grand Chance Cube” – basically a chest within a chest. What it contains varies greatly but overall offers players even more chances for the most valuable items. Particularly handy: if the “Grand Chance Cube” contains armor pieces, it always contains the entire set!

SWTOR Kknights of the fallen Empire SkyTrooper

But there are also some unpleasant changes ahead. Players who start their character boost directly at level 60 will receive a relatively solid starting gear – this was previously bound to the legacy. After the patch, this clothing will always remain with the character who received it – thus soulbound.

What else patch 4.1 brings can be read on our Star Wars: The Old Republic theme page.

Master X Master: NCSoft brings Action-MOBA to Europe

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

NCSoft will bring the MOBA MasterXMaster to the West in the second half of 2016. It is considered a sort of “Asian Heroes of the Storm.”

MOBAs continue to be very popular. Hardly any genre is played so intensively and generates such revenue. Clearly, other companies beside Riot and Valve want to get in on this market.

This includes NCSoft (GW2, Blade and Soul, Aion). The company announced both as publisher and developer the new game Master X Master, short MXM. But with MXM, they don’t just want to copy the well-known MOBA formula; they want to offer something new. During battles, it will be possible for you to quickly switch between two selected heroes, the Masters, using the tag-team system. This is designed to create surprise moments and suddenly shift the battle in new directions.

MXM Screenshot 1
Become a Master

At the launch of the game, which is set for the second half of 2016, there will be 30 Masters, each with different abilities. These Masters are known heroes and characters from NCSoft games such as Blade & Soul, Guild Wars 2, and WildStar. In addition, there will be plenty of new characters. With hundreds of different Master combinations, they aim to provide a special tactical depth.

From the games we know, WildStar and GW2, they have Rytlock and Mondo in their repertoire.

Active Control

MXM Screenshot 2

The developers want to place a lot of value on the design of the battlefields, which should not only be tactically challenging but also look stylish – the eye is known to play along.

In addition to the well-known PvP battles in various modes, MXM offers you the opportunity to team up with other players and engage in cooperative PvE missions. Another new feature is the control. While in most MOBAs, you control your heroes via “Point and Click,” in MXM you do so using the WASD keys. This is designed to promote a more active gameplay experience, where even dodging and jumping are important components.

MXM is not meant to play exactly like a typical MOBA, but rather like a mix of MOBA and action RPG. Active, fast, and still tactical. More details about the game will be coming soon.

Destiny: Players wish for these 5 features

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 6 minutes

Many ideas and wishes are circulating on the internet, which the community of the MMO shooter Destiny hopes to see implemented. We present five interesting wishes.

Since its release in September 2014, Destiny has seen a steadily growing community. This community is by no means a bunch of nonchalant Guardians that accept everything that is thrown their way. No! Rather, the Guardians are very opinionated and definitely voice their concerns in various forums when something doesn’t suit them.

Sparrow Race

One seemingly endless issue is the lag in the Crucible, with recently announced that Bungie is taking action against lag. The developer constantly emphasizes that they are aware of all the problems and wishes of the community. However, not all ideas can be implemented overnight.
A suggestion from the community, the Sparrow Racing, was introduced to the Destiny universe in December. However, there are still numerous other ideas floating around on the internet that could make Destiny an even better game. See for yourself and judge:

Rank 5: Introduction of a Cosmetic Surgeon

“Cosmetic surgeries are rarely free. Most of the time, they cost you your face.”

Even though this saying mostly holds true in reality, many Guardians are clamoring for the option to change the appearance of their characters. Perhaps the haircut looked great during character customization, but it is not something one can show off in the Tower in daylight. Luckily, there is the option to wear the helmet permanently…

If your Guardian looks utterly pathetic and even the best armor does not help, the desire to be able to revise the virtual appearance once again is great. Therefore, Destiny needs a cosmetic surgeon – who also has a hairdressing qualification – to create the perfect Guardian one envisions.

Even though the following may not be what hardcore Destiny fans want to hear, it could also open up opportunities for Bungie to offer new hairstyles, facial customizations, etc. in the Eververse for real money. For some, it would surely be worth a silver coin or two.

Find out on the following pages what other innovations the community is longing for.

Bless Online: Server schon vor Betastart voll!

Bless Online starts its open beta phase in Korea – but is already experiencing issues with too many players.

Luxury Problems at Beta Launch

While there is only marginal coverage of the upcoming MMORPG Bless Online on our side, it is making waves in its homeland Korea. Since yesterday, the developer Neowiz Games has opened its servers for the public beta test – but they were nearly overwhelmed at launch.

Bless Action

The interest in the title is also demonstrated by the published numbers. Between January 15 and January 24, more than 200,000 players are said to have registered for the game. So far, 12 servers for the game have been opened, but 11 of them were already full – whether participants of the open beta still have a chance for a spot is questionable.

The most popular race is, by the way, the new Masku – the cute beings inspired by monkeys have quickly won the hearts of the testers.

A first trailer for the game gives a rough impression of the world and the combat system.

Destiny: Bungie has a new head: “You haven’t seen our best work yet”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

As Bungie, the studio behind the MMO shooter Destiny, announced, they have a new CEO and lost a president.

Last night, Bungie announced on their website that the longtime president of the studio, Harold Ryan, is stepping down. Pete Parsons will take on the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This is the head of the studio. With this change at the top, they are not only changing the personnel but also the management form from “President” to “CEO.”

Parsons has also been on board since 2002 and previously served in a role as “Chief Operating Officer” (COO) – essentially the operations manager.

You haven’t seen our best work yet

In a letter, Parsons thanks Ryan for his work and passion. To the Destiny players, he specifically states that he sees it as his top priority to create great games that can be shared together. Parsons believes that Destiny is a unique experience. But he also believes: The players haven’t seen Bungie’s best work yet.

And that they will still deliver it, Parsons promises.

The outgoing president could have told you if there was a 6th chest – but he didn’t

In recent years, there hasn’t been much heard about the leadership at Bungie. The “highest position” that was usually visible was Jason Jones, the project lead of Destiny. Harold Ryan was jokingly referred to as the person who knows all the secrets. Only he could have told players, they joked at Bungie, if there was a sixth chest in the Glass Chamber. Of course, he never did.

In the “big stories” about the creation or history of Destiny, Parsons or Ryan only appear in passing when it comes to negotiations with Activision.

Destiny-Hueter

Whether Ryan, who has been at Bungie since 2000, will remain with the company is not yet known. The reasons behind the leadership change are also unclear. The fact that only Parsons, the “new one,” is allowed to speak suggests that Ryan may not have left voluntarily. Initial speculations point to a restructuring of Bungie’s organizational form, moving from a president model to a CEO model, also because recent difficulties seemed apparent.

The challenges of managing a live game like Destiny had already led to significant changes in Bungie’s structure last year, with little information leaking out.

Hearthstone: How to hold more than 10 cards in hand!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

At Hearthstone, there are many internal, established rules. We show you how to easily circumvent the maximum hand size of 10!

A Nerubian still fits in

Although Hearthstone has quite sophisticated mechanics, there are still small bugs and errors that can spoil the fun or lead to strange situations. It’s no wonder that some players have made it their mission to find out exactly what bugs exist and how to reproduce them. Occasionally, this can even break the general rules of the game – as in this case.

Typically, each player’s hand size is limited to 10. Once an 11th card is drawn, it is literally “burned” and removed from the game without triggering any effect.

This limitation of hand size was an unchangeable law – until now. The YouTuber Disguised Toast shows in his video how it is possible as a rogue to have a total of 12 cards in hand.

However, this only works if you use the hammer method, that is, your opponent has to cooperate. Preparing the game board is also not very easy, as the priest friend must have 4 knife jugglers and a violet instructor on the board at the same time, and the rogue player must have 2 Anub’arak with a maximum attack power of 2 – these are circumstances that are quite difficult to achieve.

But it gets even thicker: the rogue must already have 8 cards in hand and the priest must hold “Dark Madness” twice. In summary, it’s a constellation that is equivalent to winning the lottery when playing normally.

Hearthstone twelve Cards

But what happens then? A whole series of events whose sequence allows the exploitation of this bug.

  1. The priest casts “Dark Madness” on Anub’arak, which first triggers the Violet Instructor – this creates an apprentice.
  2. The apprentice triggers the 4 knife jugglers, which kill the Anub’arak.
  3. The death rattle of Anub’arak causes him to move to the rogue’s hand.
  4. Only now is Dark Madness processed – and steals the Anub’arak from the rogue’s hand!
  5. Steps 1-4 are repeated.
  6. The priest clears the board with “Revealed Doom” and plays a Depthlight Oracle to bring the rogue’s hand to 10.
  7. At the end of the turn, “Dark Madness” also ends – and the rogue gets both Anub’arak back! He now has 12 cards in hand.

What do you think about this? Pretty cool, such a convoluted way to discover or an infinite waste of energy?
