As EA Sports announced at 10:27 PM, player search on PlayStation 4 in FIFA 16: FUT is currently not possible. EA Sports is currently investigating the issue causing some players not to receive rewards after the end of the match. Reports of this have been increasing in the last few minutes. Therefore, it has been decided to temporarily disable matchmaking on PS4.
It seems that unexpected problems arose with the live activation of the first players from the TOTY. Hopefully, they will get this under control soon ‒ especially now, every coin counts to afford a pack that could contain a coveted player from the TOTY.
Update: Everything is back to normal now.

This week in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is all about the Team of the Year (TOTY). The squad has just been announced, and initial player data has been released.
At the Ballon d’Or Gala in Zurich, several awards were just presented, including the coveted Ballon d’Or, which went to Lionel Messi. This marks the fifth time the cover star of FIFA 16 has been named World Footballer of the Year. As part of this event, the Team of the Year will be revealed this week in FUT; these are highly sought-after player cards that everyone would love to have in their Ultimate Team.
However, EA Sports does not select the TOTY themselves. These players are chosen by the footballers themselves for the FIFPro World XI. According to current information from FIFPro, 26,478 players from 68 different countries participated.
The chosen players are: Manuel Neuer, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Sergio Ramos, Dani Alves, Andrés Iniesta, Luka Modric, Paul Pogba, Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The goalkeeper and defenders have just had their player ratings posted on futhead.com. Let’s take a look.
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
With an overall rating of 96 and excellent stats in Diving (Div) and Reflexes, the blue Manuel Neuer outshines all previous goalkeepers. The highest-rated goalkeeper in FUT so far has also been Manuel Neuer with 90, and as an In-Form player even with 91. With a respectful distance, David De Gea follows with an overall rating of 86.
Left Back: Marcelo
Marcelo has had an overall rating of 83 so far, and as In-Form even 84. Thus, his overall value has improved by up to 6 points. Until now, the top left back by overall rating has been the Austrian David Alaba with a value of 85.
Center Back: Thiago Silva and Sergio Ramos
Ramos has had an overall rating of 87 so far. The leading center back was previously the in-form Brazilian Thiago Silva with an overall rating of 89. Silva has therefore improved his overall value by 5 points.
Right Back: Dani Alves
So far, the in-form Philipp Lahm with an overall value of 88 has been the leading right back in the game.
These cards are set to be released at 8pm (UK time), which is 9pm our time, and will be available in packs until January 13th at 7pm. Then the midfielders will come. The forwards will be found in packs on January 15th at 7pm. The entire Team of the Year is expected to be available in packs from January 16th to January 18th. It is therefore particularly worthwhile to invest coins or FIFA Coins in packs.
In the meantime, there are already special packs in the store that are active until January 13th. What do you think about the TOTY and especially about the goalkeeper and the defenders?

What does the Warcraft movie trailer sound like with sounds from the first Warcraft games? Open your eyes and ears …
zug zug!
Only about 6 months left until we finally get to enjoy the Warcraft film that the followers of Azeroth have been waiting for nearly a decade. So far, only one “real” trailer has been released to get the fans warmed up. YouTuber Robert Mermet has taken a look at the trailer and laid a whole new audio track over it.
Although “new” might not be the right word, as the sound effects come from the first two Warcraft games, the RTS classics from over 20 years ago. And even though the music is still captivating (and also appears in pet battles!), the whole thing feels rather silly and absurd. Check it out for yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m59oTieJFF4
By the time Draga calls “zug zug”, any seriousness in the film is probably gone. What do you think of this re-dubbing? Absolute nonsense or an amusing idea?

In the MMO shooter Destiny strange things happen every week and they are surprisingly often captured in clips. We have selected the best and most bizarre videos of the week for you.
Bungie is still on break, so there are no videos from them, but we have chosen the best from submissions by you and some other clips we found.
Our favorite is this extraordinary golf shot by a Guardian:

The video captivated our boss, who insisted we include it. It shows a Guardian catching a glimpse of the “House of Wolves” expansion during a deep fall in the Glass Chamber. And he was quite impressed by what was there. And since the boss has been grinning from the New Year’s photos from Gamestar, it’s even harder to say no to him than usual.

An absurd situation comes from our community, where a grenade comes back… but with a bang.
http://youtu.be/Ca_TnE8EM3k
That was the videos of the week for this time. If you have experienced something and saved it as a clip that you think can definitely compete with those videos, send it to us via the contact form.
If it’s quirky and wonderful enough, we’ll feature it next week; otherwise, at least you’ll get one more click on the video: we’ll take a look at it, but unfortunately, we can’t show it. Because for too normal videos, our snobbish and discerning Destiny readership complains that it just doesn’t have enough flair, and they do this three times before breakfast and it’s always somehow more spectacular, and this sniping is at best mediocre; under a 360 No Scope and with a squawking parrot on the shoulder, that doesn’t impress anyone.
And no one should be subjected to that mockery. But: send us your videos anyway!

A new MMORPG is launching soon in its first testing phase in Taiwan. Fans of Mangalook could have great joy with Laplace.
Manga style with many combinations
Laplace is the latest MMORPG in manga style from the developers X-Legend Entertainment, who are already responsible for Aura Kingdom and Dragomon Hunter.
The game utilizes an “overhead” camera, as seen in games like Diablo 3. In the first beta test, there will be a total of 4 different classes available, which can battle with 6 different weapons. Only after the open beta in Taiwan will a significantly more complex development system be introduced, which is also expected to add more classes to the game. Players will be able to define their skills themselves, allowing for over 5000 different combinations.

Another feature is the legendary weapons left behind by certain boss monsters. These grant characters completely new abilities that can only be used while the corresponding weapon is equipped.
But the adversaries also have special tricks up their sleeves. There is a so-called “Overkill” system, where players can be grabbed by a boss monster and then painfully punished. Those affected by such an ability suffer high damage and lose control of their character for the duration of the effect. It definitely looks pretty cool when the opposing demon holds the hero aloft like a trophy.
Although there are currently no concrete plans for the West, as many other games from the publisher Aeriagames have been released, the likelihood of a release here is at least present.

The MMORPG Tree of Savior started chaotically and with many issues in South Korea. The global version, in English, has now commented on this.
Last week we reported on the issues that “Tree of Savior” had during the years in Korea. Some believe that it was officially launched too early. Then there were immediately problems with the cash shop, the auction house, bots – with basically everything one can imagine. Publisher Nexon currently has quite a few problems in South Korea, and there have already been demonstrations in the game and a lot of angry posts on forums and social media.
Such chaotic weeks naturally also affect the spirits of the Western fans of Tree of Savior, many of whom hope to relive the blissful “Ragnarok Online” days with Tree of Savior.
The “global” version, which would also be responsible for us here in the West and is still looking for a publisher, has commented on the issues: They have received quite a lot of concerns from fans who feared that the chaos from Korea would come to a global version as well. It concerns the marketplace and trading among players.

At Tree of Savior, they are cautious with promises; it cannot yet be said with certainty how the international version will look. However, they have forwarded the many complaints and concerns about the trading system to the developers. They assure to do their best to meet the expectations of all those who love Tree of Savior.

Some images of World of Warcraft during the development phase make us smile. How much the game has changed…
The Pixel Army of Azeroth
When the MMORPG genre began to bloom about 17 years ago, the genre leader World of Warcraft was still in the early stages of development. There are only a few screenshots and other evidence from that time that document the evolution of Azeroth, but they have a big impact.
Who would have thought, for example, that WoW in its early moments was nothing more than a modded version of Warcraft 3?
Also interesting is the fact that originally only 6 different races were planned. The trolls and gnomes were added only at a later stage of development – this might still explain the lack of existing gnome lore (or why gnomes never appear in a WoW cinematic).
Molten Core is an example of a small technical miracle. Originally, the zone was supposed to be cut from the launch. However, two developers (including Jeff Kaplan) saved the raid by completing it in less than a week. Would such a thing still be possible at Blizzard today?
The shattered world was originally intended to be a fixed part of the main game. Much more than this first draft of the Hellfire Peninsula has not remained – although the design still strongly resembles today’s raid instance “Firelands”.
And to conclude, a little guessing game: Which area of World of Warcraft could this image show?
Believe it or not, this has been the whole concept idea of the Arathi Basin. The corresponding designer was of course teased a bit at work. Nevertheless, this concept worked out.
For those who can’t get enough of this nostalgia experience, they should also check out the other screenshots. Special thanks goes to the Reddit and Imgur user exo316, who collected these images.

According to EA Sports, the Team of the Year will be revealed today, January 11, 2016, in FIFA 16. We are preparing for it.
Tonight at around 6:30 PM our time, the football world will turn its eyes to Zurich, where all the FIFA Ballon d’Or awards will be announced at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala, including the selection of the World Footballer of the Year. Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to lift the coveted trophy over Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer. This year, the nominated candidates are Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar.
As part of this event, the Team of the Year will also be released today in FUT (short for: FIFA Ultimate Team).
What is the Team of the Year?
The Team of the Year, often referred to as Team of the Year (TOTY), is essentially the highlight of any FIFA installment in the Ultimate Team mode. Here, some top players receive the highest rating of the year – making them the most sought-after player cards in the game. These cards have been marked with blue color in recent years.
When does the Team of the Year appear?
According to the official EA Sports site, the Team of the Year will be revealed today, January 11, 2016. It can be expected that this will happen for us in the evening as part of the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala. FUT will be regularly updated at 7 PM our time, so this time is realistic.
Update: The Team of the Year has now been revealed:
You have a (rather small) chance of getting a player from the TOTY when opening any FUT packs. It is very likely that special TOTY packs will come that will significantly increase the chance of getting a player from the TOTY for a substantial price increase. The TOTY players will only be available for a limited time ‒ probably until the end of this week. Additionally, only the goalkeeper and defenders will be available in packs from today, while midfielders and forwards will only become available later in the week.
Which players are in the Team of the Year?
That is not yet known. It can be assumed that Ronaldo, Messi, and probably Neymar, as nominated candidates for the Ballon d’Or, will also be included in EA’s Team of the Year. Currently, only speculation can be made. What are your favorites? Who do you think deserves to be part of the Team of the Year?
How can I prepare for this event?
The best preparation is probably to quickly earn some coins to open packs and thus have a chance at blue player cards. If you currently have some coins in stock, you’d better save them, even if there are still Premium player packs in bronze, silver, and gold until 7 PM today. However, these do not yet contain any players from the TOTY.
Additionally, you can watch this video in which the lesser-known comedian Lloyd Griffith is searching for his Team of the Year and interviewing some football experts. Currently, the Lloyd challenge is still available in FUT, where you can compete against his team. Unfortunately, there are no bonus coins to be gained here.

In the Korean version of ArcheAge there is a patch coming that brings new opportunities for PvP fighters.
My House, My Wall, My Dragon
The Korean version of ArcheAge is a bit ahead of ours. While we are fighting our way to the way to the Mistsong Pinnacle and will soon clarify the mystery of mysterious songs in patch 2.5, a lot of new stuff for PvP players is already waiting in the game’s home country. The successor patch to 2.5 is called 2.9 and is named “NOARTA: Conqueror.” It will be available in Korea on January 13, 2016, and will expand the game with numerous features.

The probably biggest innovation is the ability to secure contested areas in various ways. As the trailer shows, the buildings themselves can be improved and fortified and thus go through different levels of enhancement. If that is not enough protection, one can additionally place a large pterosaur as a guardian, which not only visually deters enemies but can also deal heavy damage.
In addition to these innovations, players can also look forward to a new dungeon and several expansions of the housing system.
In the MMO shooter The Division, a rumor is circulating that the beta is set to start on January 29.
Two days ago, a screenshot made its way through the Division forum on reddit. It shows a partially redacted email exchange between a customer and the key seller Funstockdigital.
The customer wants to know when the key seller will have beta codes. The key seller replies: The closed beta for The Division will start on January 29, as informed by the “Key Supporter.”
It all seems a bit strange. Such rumors have often turned out to be false in the past, but since fans at the moment are soaking up every bit of information and the date at least seems plausible, the information is making its rounds now.
Between January 29 and January 31, the gaming convention Pax South takes place in San Antonio, Texas. Compared to the other “Pax” events, it is quite small. So it could be that it plays no role at all in Ubisoft’s plans. Otherwise, publishers often like to use such conventions as a platform for announcements.

It’s Monday again, and that means it’s Respec time again. Today, there are news including Shroud of the Avatar, TUG, and Life is Feudal. And a presumed dead MMORPG is making a comeback: Greed Monger!
Shroud of the Avatar
Not a week goes by without news about Richard Garriott’s “Selective Multiplayer RPG” Shroud of the Avatar. If you’re interested in the online game with offline mode, you can participate in a 12-hour telethon today. The developers will answer questions from the community for 12 hours, chat about the game, introduce themselves, and even play a round of a tabletop game. Experience shows that alcohol is often involved at such events, so the atmosphere should be quite relaxed. If you want to ask questions, you can do so from today afternoon at 5 PM until 5 AM tomorrow morning in the chat on the official website.
Greybeard Games
Marvel Heroes developer David Brevik is founding a new development studio. Greybeard Games will develop an RPG, but nothing is known about it so far. It could be a multiplayer RPG or some kind of action RPG. Perhaps even an MMORPG or a single-player game. Brevik will initially develop the game alone but plans to build a small team of up to three members later. A AAA MMORPG is therefore unlikely to be expected, but perhaps something that appeals more to a niche audience.
TUG
The sandbox MMO TUG received a funding boost of 8.5 million US dollars, which leads the developers to port the engine to OpenGL now. Therefore, the next update will also be postponed by about a year! The developers also announced that they want to offer TUG for free. No one, including the developers, should have to worry about the business model, but focus on developing the best possible game.
TUG is set to be a mix of Minecraft, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and EVE Online, set in a huge open world that you can explore together with many other players.
Affected Zone Tactics
IDC/Games will jointly publish the PvP MMO Affected Zone Tactics in Europe with the publisher Light Vision Interactive. The game is a tactical online game in which you take on the role of a commander of an army to wage war against the armies of other players. The battles will be fought in rounds. You will gradually try to conquer the world map of a parallel world. You will also have to improve your army and create upgrades for your equipment. The game will also offer various game modes. It is set to be released this spring.

Life is Feudal
The MMO mode of Life is Feudal will enter a testing phase this March. So far, the game has only been playable in a multiplayer mode with up to 64 players. However, it is set to become a full-fledged MMORPG. This March, a closed beta can then be tested, in which players can also engage in terraforming in vast areas, build and expand their houses, and establish trading posts. War, politics, crafting, PvP, and more will also be integrated.
Greed Monger
The sandbox MMORPG Greed Monger was successfully funded via Kickstarter in 2012 and was meant to be a modern Ultima Online – with all the elements that UO fans loved. This includes non-instanced housing, open PvP, and more. However, updates for the game became less frequent, and last year the project leader and the lead programmer announced they would be leaving the team. They declared the game dead. Backers felt cheated. But now it is confirmed: Greed Monger will definitely continue development. This was announced by the lead programmer himself. So it will be interesting to see…

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online , the Crown Store will see new additions in January. New attractions include horned costumes, horned companions, and costumes for the lady who wants to put horns on the man.
The Elder Scrolls Online is a Buy2Play game, and as such, it seeks sources of income even in cosmetics. Every month, new items are featured in the Crown Store.
This time the theme is “Horns,” as can be seen in the title image, which shows the Nordic hero armor – a costume – but it will only be available starting January 28 and only for a few days.
Horns also belong to “Sanguine’s Black Goat” – it looks surprisingly innocent… but was bred for Daedric rituals. Or not? Hm!
Markarth Beardog and the package for Winterwatchers round off the selection in the store of The Elder Scrolls Online in January.
If you now say: That’s too many images for me, I want more text, do you have something substantial about TESO? Lucky you, just last week we tackled The Elder Scrolls Online in a thick special.

It is highly likely that the first images of the new League of Legends (LoL) champion “Jhin” have been leaked.
In the comments of a post on the official LoL page on Facebook, two images have surfaced that were described as “Splash art” and “screenshot of an ability.”
In response to the inquiry whether the Facebook user “Woo Jun Wong” knows about Jhin’s abilities, he linked a screenshot of an alleged ability of the champion.
As it seems, Jhin (similar to Rengar or Graves) has another resource. You can see in the image something that looks like charges that can stack up to 4. What exactly this is about is still unclear. The ability shown in the image is presumably a long skill shot that could work similarly to Lucian’s Q ability. Is it the case that Jhin, as depicted in the image, might be a mid laner?
The question is also whether Riot Games feels so pressured by the leak that they will release an official announcement in the near future.
In the MMORPG Kingdom under Fire 2, a new class is coming soon. The Ranger joins the battle.
Time for a second lady
Just a week ago, we reported that the MMORPG “Kingdom under Fire 2” has resurfaced and is starting with a beta version in China. The game aims to take the Free2Play market by storm, although currently, there is only a test available in China. In addition to the three base classes Gunslinger, Spellsword, and Berserker, which are all genderlocked, the female class Ranger is now joining.
The classes in KuF2 are gender-locked.
The Ranger should be particularly difficult to corner in combat and will be able to maintain distance from the opponent almost permanently. However, it will take quite a while before the new class is actually incorporated into the game. The developers want to first see how the new class affects gameplay in general before it becomes available to all players.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , some items have been found in the database that hint at a new event.
On Friday guardians received a letter titled “Days of Dawning”. The letter included instructions on how to obtain an emblem; you just have to complete an activity in the coming days. This can be understood as a follow-up to Christmas. It wouldn’t be a big deal on its own.
However, in the database, guardians have discovered more items and clues related to “The Dawning”.
There are various letters and dispatches from important figures in the Tower that could initiate some kind of quest. There are also “Random Dawning Masks” found in the database. An emblem called “Destiny’s Dawn” can also be found.
Was this a planned event for the turn of the year?
Dawning or Dawn could hint at some kind of “change of the era”, suggesting that something might be happening in the story, that a new epoch is beginning. There isn’t actually any equivalent in the upcoming holidays that exist in our world, except for “New Year”, and that has already passed.
What’s strange about the matter is that something has already been released with the title Days of Dawning. Maybe these are remnants of an event that was eventually canceled. Perhaps Bungie wanted to send some greetings through the characters in the Tower for Christmas but then decided against it because it would be too similar to the Halloween Festival. Or they might still plan for it to come. Not as a “New Year’s greeting”, but as an introduction to “How the story continues”.
Items can also be found in the official database:
Attention: This is news like in the old days when data miners regularly discovered new content: Nothing is guaranteed. What is in the database is only written in pencil, not in ink. It could well be that we are catching a glimpse of ideas that are still to be implemented. It could also be that these are ideas and items that will never exist in Destiny.

We remain virtually on the ball for you in the FIFA series.
2016 – a year in which the round leather ball will again play a major role: the European Championship in France is just around the corner and many German fans hope that the national team will provide them with a celebration similar to two years ago at the World Cup in Brazil.
Mein-MMO is also getting into the football fever: from now on, fans of virtual kicking will be regularly supplied with hot news, informative articles, and exciting reports on the current football simulation FIFA 16 and future installments of the FIFA series. This responsible task is now my duty to carry out, Ttime. Since I have developed a love-hate relationship with this game series for over a decade, it is particularly important to me to not only focus on the game, but also especially on its players – that is, all of us ‒ and to address the opinions and statements in the upcoming articles.
Online Mode “Ultimate Team” in focus
From now on, I will accompany you in the virtual world of football on Mein-MMO. There will be, in particular, news about the “Ultimate Team” mode, which can regularly trigger unbearable frustration, but also the greatest joy. However, there will also be reports on the Pro Club mode. This mode has a strong fascination, especially due to the required teamwork, for the players. The focus here is mainly on the online modes of FIFA 16. After all, we are a magazine for online games.
I am already looking forward to future events in the virtual football world and especially to your comments, your feedback, and the exchange of opinions with you. We remain on the virtual ball for you.
The expansion “Heart of Thorns” has left many issues in Guild Wars 2. These are now being addressed step by step.
The eternal story: Better matchmaking
With the start of the second PvP season, significant changes are planned for Guild Wars 2, mainly aimed at fixing matchmaking problems. So far, there has been much criticism of the existing system, which is why the developers have planned several adjustments. The official statement says:
“The matchmaking system in Season 1 was a mix of the current division in the leagues and personal ranking (MMR). (…) Starting with Season 2, the placement in your current division will be the primary determining factor for your matches and will no longer consider the MMR of players in similar score ranges.”
The changes are hoped to ensure that players no longer have to fight against opponents who are significantly more skilled or less skilled than themselves. This should also lead to players quickly reaching the divisions that correspond to their “actual skill.”
At the same time, a system is being developed to reward “win streaks” for more skilled players more significantly, so that good teams do not remain in the lower ranks for long.
Finally, there is a small video that gives an impression of what gliding in old Tyria could be like. Enjoy the flight through Orr!

level up all your gems as high as possible, as they can be used on items via a new recipe at Kanai’s Cube – through Caldesann’s Despair, ancient items receive extra status attributes, but you will need a high-level legendary gem, as you gain bonus points for each level above a certain value
You should hoard crafting materials like crazy, as you can never have enough, especially the “Death’s Breath” will be in high demand again, for the cube recipe “Cain’s Hope,” with which you can create legendary items
you also need a bunch of gems, as Caldesann’s Despair is involved here as well
You should also hoard forgotten souls, for the recipe “Kull’s Law,” with which you can reroll legendary items
Through the “Non-Set” set Legacy of Dreams, ancient legendary items are better than ever – thus you should obtain an ancient Hellfire Amulet, for example

Blizzard has released a series of kits that will especially delight cosplayers who love the characters from Overwatch.
Overwatch Cosplay for Widowmaker: Every Detail Visible
Blizzard has put a lot of effort into giving the characters of Overwatch a unique appearance. Many details make it quite challenging to capture the heroes in their full glory. Especially cosplayers, who place a high value on accuracy to replicate their favorites as faithfully as possible, often have to spend hours reviewing gameplay videos. Blizzard is now supporting costume makers by releasing a series of “Reference Kits” that illuminate every character down to the smallest scratch on their armor.
Using Widowmaker as an example, we take a quick look at the kits. Each time, there is a complete character view from different angles …
… but also individual views of various details, such as the weaponry or special accessories. Even an exact color code is included, which should significantly simplify the coloring.
While the benefit is likely greatest for cosplayers, the kits also offer “ordinary” fans some nice insights into the characters. The individual kits can be downloaded in PDF format from the official Blizzard website.
