A drama is unfolding in the context of the fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. Actress Sian Blake and her two sons are reported missing. It is suspected that they were murdered.
The English actress Sian Blake (43) and her two sons (4 and 8) have been missing since December 13. The BBC now reports that police have found three bodies in the garden of the family’s home. This has triggered a murder investigation.
Blake’s partner, a 48-year-old man, had informed the police about the disappearance of his family. However, he disappeared himself three days later. He is now being sought by the authorities.

In the MMO shooter Destiny Wednesday is Weapon Day: Exo Banshee-44 offers weapons to test, order and pick up. This time he has several so-called “God Rolls” available.
Banshee-44 also likes to release new Exotics on Weapon Day if you manage to show him your chromatic shimmering Chromeside and have collected some points with him. Which Exotics those are, you can read in our Guide of Guides to Destiny.
Speaking of chromatic shimmering Chromeside – those who want to collect points with Banshee-44 should perform his test weapons.
These 5 test weapons are available this week in Destiny
With a fusion rifle from Omolon, you need to collect Crucible data.
With a hand cannon from Omolon, you fight against the Vex.
With a rocket launcher from Suros, you try your luck in the Crucible.
With the Häkke shotgun, you achieve kills in the Crucible.
And with a sniper rifle from the Omolon engineers, you also go back into the Crucible.
4 out of 5 in the Crucible, including the unloved rocket launcher … there surely were more pleasant weeks.
These 5 weapons can be ordered this week
The beautiful Suros PDX-41 is available for order. It doesn’t have quite as much stability as the 45, but it has a relatively high range. Even though pulse rifles are not as strong anymore, it’s still a nice weapon.
Then it’s “Who hasn’t yet? Who wants to again?” – Both rocket launchers from Suros are again on offer. Suros JLB-42 and JLB-47. If you have to choose one, take the 47.
Häkke contributes a shotgun with the Strongbow-D. It’s pretty standard.
And there’s also the sniper rifle Tamar-D. Solid weapon, relatively high damage and fire rate, but not exactly a showstopper.
Overall in the orders, it’s rather mixed. Highlights might be the JLB-47 and the PDX-41.
These weapons can be picked up this week
A roll is drawing attention at the Cocytus SR4– that’s the scout rifle from last week. The first say “It’s better than the Unevenness!” It comes with Triple, Fireball and Cryo/Fixed Pull. That’s Roll #1.
Also celebrated is the so-called “God Roll” for Tuonela SR4, the scout rifle from Omolon. It comes with Triple, Fireball, and Hand-placed Stock. “God Rolls” are considered ideal versions of a weapon, although scholars still argue about what is really the “God Roll” and what is just a plain “really, really damn good roll”.
The automatic rifle Arminius-D, the insider tip from the statisticians, comes with Hot-Swap, Balance Compensation, and Stagger Frame – a lot of stability.
A PDX-45 is available with Head Seeker, Perfect Balance, and Small Caliber.
A Suros Dis-47 comes with Full Auto, Hand-placed Stock, and Adjustable Stock – also an extremely strong roll.
In Star Citizen, details about the shooter part of the game and Star Marine have been revealed. It is supposed to be deadlier than Call of Duty, focusing on tactics and stealth.
In a “10 for the Chairman” video, Chris Roberts answered fan questions. One of them led him to talk about the FPS Star Marine. Can one sneak around?, a fan wanted to know.

Roberts answered, Star Marine is “more lethal” than the Call of Duty series and emphasizes tactics. Therefore, you will be able to sneak around. Moreover, players are planned to be given options and gadgets to approach opponents not just head-on and with guns blazing. For example, there will be a hologram gadget that can deceive enemies by projecting your own hologram somewhere. They also plan to introduce ventilation shafts so players can flank enemies.
The focus is on tactical approach; it will not be pure “Run and Gun.”

After evaluating some data, it is now clear: There is some cheating involved in the awarding of Legendaries in Hearthstone. To our advantage?
The Joy of Legends
Opening card packs is one of the most beautiful, as well as one of the most frustrating moments in Hearthstone. Everyone knows the thrill when opening a pack and seeing the orange shimmer around the targeted card. You’ve outsmarted fate again and snagged a legendary card! But… is the probability really random? Or is there a little cheating going on?
The anticipation is often the best part.
A Sympathy Legendary for everyone over 39.
The evaluations from opening over 14,800 card packs from “The Grand Tournament” have brought some interesting insights to light. Blizzard has obviously implemented a “sympathy threshold” from which players receive a guaranteed Legendary. Within the test group, there was not a single person who opened more than 40 packs without receiving a Legendary. The probability of that happening is statistically under 0.001%. The logical conclusion: Blizzard has built in a mechanism that guarantees that you receive at least one legendary card in every 40 packs. However, there are some points to consider for these sympathy Legendary cards:
The 40 packs must be from the same edition. Opening 20 Classic and then 20 GvG packs does not have the desired effect.
The 40 packs do not need to be opened in the same session.
The 40 packs must be opened in the same region, as American and European accounts are treated separately.
Kripparian has addressed this topic in a video and explains it in a little more detail.

By the way, there is also a sympathy threshold for epic cards – it is set at 10. It is therefore guaranteed that there will be an epic card in at least the 10th pack!
What do you think about this sympathy threshold? Does it bother you a lot, or do you find it a useful bonus to maintain the fun of the game?

In Black Desert Online, there is more and more information about the mysterious Awakening weapons, and now it’s the Valkyrie’s turn.
Supersize it!
In the upcoming MMORPG Black Desert, all classes will have the opportunity to obtain an Awakening weapon late in the game. This weapon not only has a much more imposing appearance, but also drastically changes the abilities of the respective character, thus allowing for a new and fresh gameplay experience for the Korean version. Now, fresh information about the new weapon of the Valkyrie is available.
She normally fights with a shortsword and shield, but exchanges them for a much larger blade that resembles a spear more than a true sword. How exactly this “Rensia”, which is the name of the weapon, affects the abilities is still unknown. Presumably, the next major patch in the Korean version will provide more insights when there are moving images available.
For more information about the game and the other Awakening weapons, you can find it on our Black Desert topic page.

The upcoming MMO shooter The Division relies on viral marketing – quite literally.
You innocently click on an email from Ubisoft, are asked to scan a banknote or enter identification details, and are presented with a virtual analysis: Where does the bill come from? How old is it? What distance has it traveled? What traces of marijuana and cocaine does it contain? What bacteria are on it, and how can they ruin the viewer’s health?
If you thought: That’s clever of Ubisoft, they want us to give them all our money – you are only partially right. The joke is: In The Division, the virus that causes all the trouble at launch spreads through the banknotes and what is on them.

In the MMO shooter Destiny we are showing you for the first time in 2016 our videos of the week.
Bungie is taking a break. Normally, every Thursday a handful of videos from the community submissions are selected. We will have to do without that for the next few weeks. DeeJ has decided to become a lumberjack in Canada with his mighty beard. Well, that was nonsense. The community team is simply taking a break until the end of January. So we have to look for ourselves.
The video of the week comes, unbiased as we are, from our good friend Nexxoss Gaming. He showcases his sniper skills in this montage, proving that he doesn’t just talk about Destiny, he actually plays it.

Who is to blame for the MMORPG The Repopulation not being able to continue development? The developers of the underlying Hero Engine and Above and Beyond Technologies are in dispute.
At the end of last year, the alpha servers of the promising sandbox MMORPG The Repopulation had to be shut down. It was said that there were financial problems with the developer of the underlying Hero Engine and that the engine could not be further developed, which also made the completion of the MMO impossible. After all, the Hero Engine also forms the backbone of the game.
An employee at Idea Fabrik, the team that programmed the Hero Engine, has now revealed that a company is to blame for stopping the royalty payments for the engine about two months ago. Therefore, the game’s servers had to be closed.
A complicated situation
The community immediately suspected that it was Above and Beyond Technologies, as the clues such as the timing and the server shutdown matched the situation with The Repopulation. However, Above and Beyond Technologies stated that the situation is much more complicated. A financing proposal was made, through which Above and Beyond Technologies was supposed to pay Idea Fabrik’s bills for the next five months. However, this proposal came from a person who had also withdrawn funding for the Hero Engine.
Above and Beyond Technologies felt pressured, as they would also have had to commit to remaining loyal to Idea Fabrik for two years. They rejected this proposal because they would not have received any guarantee of further support or servers after those two years. Additionally, they would have still had to continue paying the royalties during the five months. They are not pleased with the accusations and state clearly that they will likely only be able to settle this in court.
Above and Beyond Technologies even believes that Idea Fabrik owes them money, which they probably will never see. Idea Fabrik simply stopped the service, which caused significant damage to Above and Beyond Technologies. They do not owe the developers of the Hero Engine anything and are very surprised by how the situation is being handled now.
The situation seems to be getting more complicated, which of course affects the further development of the MMORPG The Repopulation. Whether an agreement can be reached is currently uncertain. It may be that The Repopulation will have no choice but to switch to a different engine.

The upgrade of the legendary ring from World of Warcraft is now easier. Soon the Alpha of Legion will return…
Upgrades for Valor
With the last patch, the Valor Points in World of Warcraft have been reintroduced, allowing item upgrades. This enabled every player to improve their gear by up to 10 item levels. However, a single item could not be upgraded until now: the legendary ring. To upgrade this, players had to repeatedly defeat Archimonde, as he was the only one who dropped “Crystallized Fel Energy,” which can be used to upgrade the legendary ring by 3 item levels – up to 20 times.
To speed up the process a bit and give players a new source for their Valor Points, Crystallized Fel Energy can now be purchased in the Tanaan Jungle. In your faction’s camp, you just have to visit Dämmerungssucher Krisek and trade him 1250 Valor Points each. Alternatively, you can also head to Talador and visit Zooti Zappenduster in front of Khadgar’s tower; he also has the crystals available.
If you want to bring your legendary ring to maximum level 795 only through Valor Points, you must spend a proud 25,000 Valor Points – although these can be farmed, at least in theory, without too much trouble and without a fixed raid group.
When does the Alpha of Legion continue?
The next version of Legion is supposed to bring new content – perhaps finally all class specializations?
But there is also news from the Alpha version of the next expansion. It seems that the holiday season at Blizzard is now over, and many developers have returned to their workplaces. Although there is still no new date for the resumption of the Alpha, they aim to start directly with a new version that promises fresh content.
We will keep you updated and report as soon as there are reliable statements.

The military MMO World of Tanks continues with beta tests on the Playstation 4.
WoT is coming to PS4. The first test took place in early December, and the second beta test is coming this weekend.
From January 8 to January 10, the second open beta weekend will begin on the Playstation 4. You can step into some of the most famous tanks in history, such as those from the United States, Soviet tanks, or German ones.

John Smedley has now taken to Twitter to give his blessing to the emulator folks. “Now that I’m no longer with Sony, I can say it: I have always respected the people who do this!“
Truth is I’ve always respected the hell out of the people that work on the emulator stuff. Good for them.
If he could have, he would have gladly given the source code for games to the people, as long as he was sure it was in good hands.
However, Smedley is not a fan of people charging money for their emulators. That opens up a huge can of licensing problems, as most developers were working with third-party tools. But fundamentally, anyone who brings a game to life with so much passion and “backwards engineering” deserves respect.
Anyone that has that kind of passion and backwards engineers a server is someone I respect highly.
But things are happening behind the scenes: As the community manager hinted, they are still on track to bring Patch 2.5 live at the end of January. This is the version that Korea is currently playing. However, one never quite knows how this will impact the West: Sometimes here in the West, major content patches are divided into subgroups. But there will definitely be new content coming at the end of January.
Surely, ArcheAge will introduce how exactly Patch 2.5 will affect things in the coming weeks. On January 8, Trion Worlds intends to go into more detail during a live stream. In Korea, Patch 2.5 brought among other things new houses (the tree houses) and dungeons. Here is the Korean trailer from the summer:

By the way, one won’t fully catch up with Korea. Because there, the next Patch 2.9 will be released sometime in January. It will take care of the castles, bring new buildings, mounts, a new region, and more.

Which payment model will the shooter MMO Escape from Tarkov use? It has now been confirmed that it will be a Buy2Play title and that the game can be pre-ordered now.
Escape from Tarkov is becoming increasingly interesting. The action-packed shooter battles, combined with a highly interactive game world and plenty of RPG elements such as many skills that can improve your character, exert a great attraction. The now announced payment model also makes it enticing to dive into the adventures, as Escape from Tarkov will use a Buy2Play model.
This means you buy the game for a one-time price and don’t have to pay any subscription fees or fear any clowns ruining the atmosphere of the game if it were free to play.
Pre-order with bonuses
From now on, the game can also be pre-ordered through the official website. Several packages with different contents are available for selection. The prices for these range between 45 and 140 US dollars. Depending on the extent of the packages, they may include bonus items, safer or larger storage spaces, or you may be well-positioned with all traders in the game, allowing them to offer you better prices and more items.
New information in the FAQ
On the official website of the MMO, an FAQ can now be found, where interesting facts about the game can be read. The Steam launch is supposed to happen only shortly after the launch on the developers’ own platform. The alpha is still planned for the first quarter of 2016 and will not take place over Steam.
Additionally, the game is also supposed to be regularly released in stores, a Collector’s Edition is even planned. Those who wish to participate in the alpha and beta must expect regular wipes. However, those who pre-order and consider purchasing a larger storage space can expand their storage later in the game by meeting certain requirements.
The shooter MMO Escape from Tarkov is set to be released this year.

Activision Blizzard bought the struggling esports organization MLG primarily for the streaming opportunities it offers. And it was also cheap.
Analysts from various firms paint a clear picture to the business magazine Fortune: The MLG had overextended itself. A stadium was to be built in China, and then there was ESL, another competitor on their heels. Even though esports is a booming sector, MLG has likely found itself in financial trouble in recent months and was looking for a buyer. They had trouble capitalizing on their own success financially.
Analysts believe that the league has become unfocused. The loss of Call of Duty to ESL and the departure of one of its key figures were seen as contributing factors.
After negotiations with Yahoo ended fruitlessly in October, Activision Blizzard struck.
The loss of Call of Duty to ESL hit MLG hard
Activision Blizzard wants to leverage streaming opportunities and broadcasting experience
It doesn’t take much imagination to picture what Activision Blizzard plans to do with MLG.
Now that the deal is done, the heads of Activision are using flattering words. CEO Bobby Kotick speaks of MLG being able to produce “premium content” and having proven technology for broadcasting their shows – this includes live-streaming capabilities. All of this strengthens Activision’s strategic position.
According to Kotick, the plan is to establish the “ESPN” of esports. The acquisition of MLG helps with that. ESPN is the major U.S. sports network. Like Sport1 multiplied by a factor of 100. Activision believes, and supports itself with analysts, that the esports audience will grow to 300 million people by 2017. They clearly want to be a part of that.
The esports team of MLG will be taken over by Activision Blizzard. The CEO Sundance DiGiovanni will also be on board. Initially, there were reports that he would be completely out, but he is just switching to the new boss.
According to DiGiovanni, esports is currently at a turning point, the popularity of esports is rising and competing with many traditional sports. This acquisition will provide new opportunities for “competitive play” and help recognize players who achieve extraordinary feats.
They had already acquired the co-founder of MLG… now they got the rest
MLG is now supposed to continue as planned following the acquisition, working with partners and other publishers. As stated to the U.S. site Gamespot, Activision Blizzard did not step in to interfere with MLG’s existing activities, but rather wants to add things. It will largely continue as it has been – just better. This statement comes from Mike Sespo, a co-founder of MLG. Blizzard had already brought him on board a few months ago to lead the new, own esports division.
Now they have also snatched up the rest of MLG.
Somewhat concerning: Sepso’s partner in leading the esports division is Steve Bornstein. He actually used to run ESPN… the sports network they now want to emulate.

Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm is easy to learn, but hard to master. We have 10 special tips, some of which you probably don’t know!
The Decisive Advantage
Blizzard has always emphasized the principle of “easy to learn and hard to master,” and this is clearly evident in Heroes of the Storm. While the benefits of many abilities may seem obvious at first glance, there are moments where a little more knowledge can give you the decisive advantage. The user gunleg has compiled some tricks on Reddit that we have translated into English for you.
Lunara – the Jump over the Trickster
Lunara is the newest character from Heroes of the Storm and is currently underestimated by many players. Her agility is fantastic, especially at level 20 when you can also apply her heroic ability “Spear Leap” to allies. How useful it is to be able to create your own ally! If the Trickster is placed against a wall, Lunara can jump over it with the Spear Leap and escape from tight situations – or surprise enemies.
Anub’arak – the Net of Theft
The Tomb Lord Anub’arak can not only incapacitate enemy players for 8 seconds with his cocoon, he can also perform some pretty nasty tricks with it. Anyone inside a cocoon is essentially “out of the game” and cannot capture control points – like at a boss or a mercenary camp. This is perfect for taking away a camp from enemies and then disappearing. A rather sneaky cockroach!
Zagara – The Swarm Catapults
Players of Zagara often dismiss the talent “Infect” because its effect is often minimal in the early stages of the game. However, once catapults are in play, this changes dramatically! If you manage to infect two catapults simultaneously and let them fire at the enemy core, each shot takes away about 10% of the core’s maximum HP. Just keep in mind that 2 catapults now have the effect of 10 catapults, as their damage is increased by 400%. Many opponents won’t have time to use a Hearthstone.
Sylvanas – the Quiver of Infinite Arrows
The specialist Sylvanas is excellent for tearing apart enemy fortifications. However, with a certain combination of talents, she can also achieve spontaneous damage output that makes even Nova or Kael’thas look outdated. Full quiver, Instable Poison, Death’s Breath, and Storm’s Wrath ensure that an enemy surrounded by their own minions simply explodes. Give it a try and let the Banshee Queen become the stealthy assassin!
Read on the next page for the second part – including tips for Abathur and Tychus!

The first VR MMO is coming this year! What does “Wizard Online” have in store for fans of the new technology?
Weaving spells with hands
Basically, it was only a matter of time before the technology of virtual reality would also be used on a larger scale for gaming projects. 2016 marks the starting point for the first VR MMO, as Wizard Online is set to be released this year and will be available for users of Oculus Rift and HTC Vive (Steam).
Waving hands in front of the screen to cast spells? That will be possible in Wizard Online.
On the official Facebook page of the game, screenshots have already been released. Users describe the atmosphere of the world as a mix of Harry Potter and World of Warcraft. But what really makes the game special are the possibilities of VR. Spells can truly be woven with hands, and a sword can be wielded. Mystical creatures like Satan and Baphomet will populate the game world and can be defeated by players to earn various mounts. Currently, everything looks quite minimalistic, but the images are also from an early version.
Although Wizard Online is primarily being developed for VR devices, it can also be played on PC and the two consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4. There is no release date yet. However, a trailer is expected to be released in the coming days, which we will keep you updated on.
Wizard Online will use Unreal Engine 4 and support DirectX 12 – it would be the first game of this generation to hit the market, if it is released before Final Fantasy XV.
Mein-MMO says: At least in the screenshots, everything looks quite interesting; however, whether VR is suitable for an MMO remains to be seen. If it is a game with competitive components, the VR players will likely be at a significant disadvantage or will have to forgo VR for those content. The future will tell.

In the MMO shooter Destiny a new week begins on Tuesday with a fresh Nightfall strike and a raid boss that calls for a challenge: Challenge Mode Oryx is active.
It was a stressful Monday evening: Especially since nothing stresses a gamer more than waiting idly and impatiently for something to work again. The PSN outage frustrated PlayStation players, ruining the entire Central European evening. For many players, little happened until the night. And then the Iron Banner ended already at 9:00 AM on Tuesday morning, an hour earlier than expected, and completely ruined the already bad mood for some.
Let’s see what the new week brings. Bungie is at least on vacation regarding communication until the end of January. Then they want to provide the community with information again via Weekly Updates. Maybe they should consider that. Tweeting a bit at night doesn’t really help …
Weekly Nightfall Strike on January 5th is the Dust Palace
For this week’s Nightfall Strike it’s into the Dust Palace, an earlier PlayStation-exclusive strike.
Modifiers are:
Embrace of Void – Void damage is significantly increased
Berserk – Enemies do not flinch
Specialist – Damage from special weapons is favored
Juggler – No ammunition drops for the currently equipped weapon
Grounded – Guardians take more damage when in the air
Strange: Instead of the usual 4 modifiers and the always same difficulty indicator “Epic”, this time there are 5 modifiers and Epic …
This week’s raid challenge comes from Father Oryx
This week, the final boss of the raid, Oryx, is issuing a challenge. If you defeat him in a specific way, there will be bonus loot for everyone. You can read about how the challenge works and what reward awaits you in our article on the raid challenge Oryx.
The Challenge Mode awaits.
The T3 boss in Oryx’s Courtyard is Thalnok
In Tier 3 in Oryx’s Courtyard, Thalnok awaits players this week. He is the mini-Crota.
Are there guides, tricks, videos for this week’s challenges?
At this point, we will present you with videos from groups that have tackled the Nightfall, Challenge Mode Oryx, and the T3 Boss throughout the day.
But in Destiny, it was the last day of the Iron Banner, and on that day, the “Hardened” bonus is at its peak, giving significantly high bonus points. Many are waiting until Monday evening to hand in their raids and collect reputation. Due to the PSN outage, that was not possible.
Many players on reddit or via Twitter urged Bungie to extend the Iron Banner to give players the opportunity to make up for the lost day. Bungie had done something like this at Christmas 2014, when they kept Xur in the Tower longer to account for the hacking attacks that made it impossible for many to play over Christmas.
But this time, Bungie seemed deaf to the pleas or could not comply for technical reasons. As mentioned on Twitter by Bungie during the night, the Iron Banner would end on Tuesday at 9:00 AM – even one hour earlier than expected. The Trials of Osiris will end at 10:00 AM.
Correction to this previous Tweet. Trials of Osiris will still end at 1AM PST, but Iron Banner will end at 12AM PST. https://t.co/je9wnedmfs
Ironically: On Monday evening at 6:25 PM our time, it was still tweeted that both events would end at 10:00 AM with the reset. So, until a few hours earlier, there was no reason to suspect anything else. No one really understands why such an important message comes “only” through Twitter and not through an in-game warning.
Destiny players are upset about the development. There are some reports of Guardians who were just about to hand in their raids – at the last minute – and were then surprised by the “premature ending.” They are far from pleased with this development.

Hearthstone and World of Warcraft are inextricably linked. But which card motifs can really be found in Azeroth?
A Great, Strange Journey
From a pure story perspective, Blizzard’s card game takes place in the taverns of Azeroth, thus in World of Warcraft. Numerous NPCs across all continents play the game, and with certain toys, you can also highlight that you like to let the cards fly across the board. So much for Hearthstone in WoW.
Conversely, WoW in Hearthstone, the characters and spells from WoW serve as templates for the cards. The player Jeppz has undertaken the long and arduous journey to find the various WoW characters of the legendary cards.
Paletress – A boss at the Argent Tournament.
For this, he had to visit numerous locations and also cheat a little, as not all characters are still present in World of Warcraft. Nevertheless, he has managed to create a quite respectable collection that covers most NPCs. A small selection of his screenshots is presented here.
You can view the complete list of all screenshots on Jeppz’s imgur page.
More information about the game, such as the 10 most popular decks of 2015, can be found on our Hearthstone theme page.
