For the upcoming MMO shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division , community representatives have been invited to Sweden. This results in new gameplay material and new praises.
One can see this critically: Developer Massive invites 15 of the “most engaged community members” to Sweden. In a video where they talk about their experiences, they praise the game in the highest terms. Teamplay is fantastic, characters can evolve, and the atmosphere is as dense as one could imagine. New York really gives the impression of a city on the edge of the abyss.

One could critically say: What else would they say? After all, they also benefit if The Division becomes a “hype”, gaining success on their social networks. And hey, if one is invited to Sweden and is being taken care of by the developers, that also affects the first impression.
On the other hand, the snippets from the community members align with the experience reports from players of the short closed alpha on Xbox One a few days ago. There, too, the gameplay and the game content that were shown were praised highly. One may wonder whether all these praises have any substance. At the moment, it sounds almost too good to be true, but the typical German skeptic might be speaking out of us.
In 2016, betas for Xbox One, PC, and PS4 are to be released, until the game finally launches in March. The Division is set to become one of the major titles of 2016.

In SWTOR two events are now taking place simultaneously – the Life Day is beginning and the Rakghoul Plague is returning.
Holiday Overload – Free Choice
It requires quite a bit of self-irony to hold these two events. Nevertheless, in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Life Day is currently taking place, the galactic version of Christmas. At the same time, the Rakghoul Plague has broken out once again, turning innocent citizens into bloodthirsty zombies – also a way to celebrate “life”.
The Life Day – Plenty of Snow Packages
To kick off the Life Day properly, players should head to their respective fleet and visit the Galactic Trade Network there. Close by is this year’s Ceremony Master, who sells almost all rewards for this celebration. Among other things, he also has the Life Day Snowball Bomb for 1000 Credits on offer, which is essential to acquire most of the other rewards.
You throw the Snowball Bomb at other players as soon as the cooldown is over. With a probability of ~15% per throw, you will receive a snow-covered package – the currency of Life Day. You can then exchange this with the Ceremony Master for countless items. The special thing: All items that were only available on the Cartel Market last year are now accessible through the snow-covered packages! However, there are some new additions on the Cartel Market, such as a vehicle with a thick snow cannon on top.

The Life Day lasts from December 15 to January 5 – so there is plenty of time to throw a whole lot of snowballs in your fellow players’ faces.
If one celebration is not enough, from December 15 to December 22, you will also have the opportunity to fight with zombies, as the Rakghoul Plague once again haunts the desert planet Tatooine.
In the fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, the patch 3.15 has been released today. It brings a lot of work with the Anima weapons.
What are called “Major Patches” in other games are often referred to as “interim patches” in Final Fantasy XIV. Today, the second patch for “As Goes Light, so goes Darkness”, 3.15, was released.
It brings the Anima weapons, which are new job-specific items that stand in the tradition of the Zodiac weapons. In future patches, players will be able to further enhance these weapons. Square Enix only gives an initial hint in the patch notes about how the quests will proceed, then advises players to discuss the details.
The side quest series “Saint Endalim-Theologikum” is not quite so elitist. Here, players accompany the upheaval in a theology seminar.
Further developments in Final Fantasy XIV will likely take place on December 23, when the “lightbringer of the game” Naoki Yoshida will hold an audience again and reveal details about the next patch 3.2. This is expected in early 2016.

Devilian now reports: We have noticed issues again at Seadrift last night, which could lead to another “data loss.” The safety of data is our top priority. We can only reopen the server once we are sure nothing will happen.
At the moment, the server is closed. It is unclear when it will reopen. Probably not today, December 16th. The team assures that they are working “around the clock” on a solution, and are looking for ways to thank players for their patience.

The developers of Hearthstone are adjusting the release times of the card chaos mode. When will it return to Europe?
Tavern Brawls – not before 10 PM!
We were used to getting a new card chaos mode in Hearthstone every Wednesday at exactly 5 PM. However, this time has now changed, according to Blizzard, with the following explanation:
“We are always looking for ways to improve the Hearthstone player experience and will be making some changes to the release of card chaos to better respond to bugs and issues that may arise at release.”
Tonight, the Winter Veil chaos is coming – players can start getting used to the new time.
Unfortunately, the new time is quite inconvenient for Europeans, as the latest mode will now go online every Wednesday at 10 PM – a full 5 hours later than before. For all early risers, students, and pupils, this is quite annoying, as they will likely only be able to enjoy the latest chaos the next day.

The space MMO Elite:Dangerous has launched a new season with Horizons. This is supposed to be the start of a year full of updates and improvements.
The new “Season 2016” with updates for Elite:Dangerous is called Horizons and has launched on PC. Horizons is expected to provide the huge, currently somewhat empty space game with more action over the next year.
The most important step that is happening now is the planetary landings. As a result, most of the many, many planets in the game can also be entered and explored. This trailer draws attention to Horizons.

I wish for a new Star Wars game, one that is different from Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Don’t get me wrong, I like SWTOR. It offers a lot of what I would wish for a new MMORPG, but it just doesn’t meet my expectations entirely. For one, I am not a fan of this cartoonish graphic style. I understand why they made that choice. Games with this particular style appeal to a larger customer base, and such graphic styles remain relevant longer because they don’t look outdated as quickly.
And yet I believe that something like that does not really fit Star Wars. I also like the TV series Star Wars: Rebels, but I just think that a different graphic style would have suited this series well. Moreover, Star Wars: Battlefront shows how cool a game set in the Star Wars universe can look, if it offers a more realistic appearance.
An MMORPG set during the time of the movies
Additionally, I am not a fan of the scenario of SWTOR. Seriously, the whole thing takes place over 3,000 years before the movies, but nothing is really fundamentally different. Shouldn’t technology have developed significantly over 3,000 years? What about evolution? The races have also not evolved during the time between the game and the movies. That seems strange to me.
Furthermore, you have to forgo all the really cool elements from the movies like the Empire with the screeching TIE Fighters. I would therefore wish for a scenario set during the time of the films. Perhaps between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Then you could also play Jedi Knights who are fleeing from the Empire. The time before the new movie Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens would also be interesting.
I also wish for the option to be able to play the game solo. When looking at SWTOR, you can’t help but feel that it actually wants to be more of a single-player RPG. And yet, other players disturb the enjoyment of this experience during the story missions.
Therefore, I would find it good to also have the option to play offline, just like the upcoming selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar wants to offer. I have the option to experience my adventures alone and offline, but I can also go online and complete group content with others.
Galactic Starfighter: Practice makes perfect!
A few new and innovative systems, please
Furthermore, I would wish for an evolution in the genre. For example, regarding the combat system. I can’t stand this WoW-like system anymore. I want action, especially when I’m wielding a lightsaber. I don’t want to wait for the character to execute my command; I want to fight actively! And yes, that would also mean a – at least optional – first-person perspective.
Also, the UI with all the windows, numbers, bars, names, and so on disturbs me from immersing myself in the game world. Here, something new and innovative should finally be invented, with which one can play without a UI without having to give up on information. I don’t know what that could look like yet, but there must be a way.
However, it will probably be quite a while before a new Star Wars MMO is released, as they certainly don’t want to make themselves competitors. But dreaming is always allowed…

In an interview, the Design Director of League of Legends LoL, Greg ‘Ghostcrawler’ Street, now revealed the first facts about the new champion in LoL.
The name ‘Ghostcrawler’ may be familiar to some of you from World of Warcraft, where he worked for several years as Lead Systems Designer before moving to Riot Games. In an interview, he was asked if he could provide information about the next champion that will be released soon™ in League of Legends.
Of course, he cannot reveal too much information yet, but it is clear that the champion will be male. After the release of Illaoi, the Kraken Priestess and the update of Poppy Riot is now focusing on a male character again to bring fresh air to the game. He also mentioned that this champion has never been mentioned before. Therefore, it can be ruled out that it is one of the long-awaited champions such as ‘Ao Shin’.
What about Ao Shin? When will he come to LoL?
Ao Shin was teased in a small champion preview in 2013. He is also seen in the comic related to Spirit Guard Udyr. At that time, it was clear that his kit needed to be revised and that two more champions would be introduced to the game before his release. These champions were Jinx and Yasuo.
Some players of League of Legends therefore suspected that the next champion could be Ao Shin. But to put this speculation to rest, ‘Ghostcrawler’ also said, “Although Ao Shin is in development, he is still causing many problems. We are not saying that he will never be released, but certainly not in the near future.”
Is there even room for more champions in LoL?
Many players are also questioning how many champions there will be in League of Legends and whether old champions may eventually need to be removed from the game to make way for new ones.
‘Ghostcrawler’ stated: That one cannot imagine removing “old” champions. They have reduced the number of new champions so much this year and last year that only 5-6 champions will be added to the game this year. Therefore, it can be ruled out that they will reach 200 champions (currently 130) in the near future.
So we can only rely on the well-known saying “wait and drink tea” until new information about the next champion is published. Of course, you will get this information directly on our site.
What are your expectations for the next champion? What role should he play – another new jungler?

The Dino game ARK: Survival Evolved will have a split-screen mode on Xbox One – but when will it be available?
Two Hunters, One Island
As of today, there is ARK: Survival Evolved on Xbox One as part of the Game Preview Program. There, Xbox players can already try out a variety of features: taming dinosaurs, building fortresses, forming tribes with other players, and creating their own breeding setup. However, a very special feature will not come until next year: the split-screen mode.

If you want, you can also hand a colleague a gamepad, so two people can explore the island and its secrets on one Xbox One. This will have little impact on performance. Regarding this, Jesse Rapczak, co-founder of Studio Wildcard, stated: “Many development studios are giving up on split-screen mode, but we couldn’t bear that for ARK! Friends and family can look forward to working together to survive the harsh environment and uncover the many secrets of the island. All from the same couch.”
However, there is a (relatively large) downside: the split-screen will only be available offline, meaning locally restricted. To participate in online matches, each player will need their own console.
If you are fortunate enough to own two Xbox Ones, you will even be able to host your own server that can accommodate up to 70 players.

Welcome to the latest edition of Whining Wednesday! What can one really whine about early in the morning with a cup of tea while binge-watching some anime and driving the shoe man with the whip? Ah… my love-hate relationship with Blizzard is always there. But Heroes of the Storm is practically begging for a bit of my attention. So be it!
The Spirits That You Call
A little over a week ago, Blizzard launched the “Recruit A Friend” program for Heroes of the Storm. This had already caused quite a stir, and many players complained that this reward program comes too late because all the veterans have already invited their friends to the game. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if one of the rewards wasn’t the Vulture mount, which long-time StarCraft fans have been looking forward to for a while – because it has been in the game files for many months, it can only now be obtained.
“Recruit Yourself” should perhaps be the better title for the offer.
Unfortunately, you can’t retroactively recruit friends (unless they are below level 5 – which practically isn’t the case after 3 matches), so most players have no choice but to create secondary, tertiary, and quaternary accounts to get the rewards. But because playing by yourself is really annoying…
The Great Bot Wave
In the Nether, the last two days in Heroes of the Storm have been terrible. In every single match in the level range of 1-20, there has been one or two bots. No wonder, it’s not necessary to play with the recruited friend to receive the rewards, one only needs to reach level 10 with the secondary accounts. Therefore, it probably doesn’t matter to anyone whether the small accounts are subsequently banned for bot usage.
Even Lt. Morales looks confused – Bots in Hots. Super annoying.
But the bots are actually only half the problem. Unfortunately, I belong to the other problem, but that does not change the fact that Blizzard has brought this upon themselves. It feels like nearly 80% of the players in the low-level range are currently “smurf accounts,” meaning secondary accounts of significantly more experienced gamers. This surely stifles the fun of newcomers, who are simply rolled over by veterans.
Sure, all MOBAs go through such a phase as soon as there’s a “Recruit A Friend” reward. But somehow I expected Blizzard to handle this smarter. Unfortunately, I was disappointed – for me, this entire action is a bad joke with poor implementation. And a slap in the face for all who have genuinely tried to engage new players in the past.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , today on December 16th, it is weapon day again. Banshee-44 is accepting orders and distributing weapons.
The procedure is the same every Wednesday: You complete orders for Banshee-44 in Destiny, thereby increasing your reputation. You submit orders that he fulfills in the following weeks. And you redeem orders, receiving different variants of the requested weapons to choose from. We will guide you through the process.
With these prototype weapons, you are equipped for Banshee-44 in Destiny this week
These are the prototype weapons from Banshee this week.
With a Häkke auto rifle, Cabal are to be taken down.
With a Suros auto rifle, you should achieve precision kills.
With an Omolon fusion rifle, it’s against Vex Minotaurs.
With a Häkke pulse rifle, it’s: Off to the Crucible.
And with a Häkke sniper rifle, you should achieve double kills.
These weapons can be ordered this week
Starting off is the auto rifle Arminius-D. Recommended by the statisticians at Bungie. With its extremely high rate of fire, large magazine, and fast reload, the Arminius has proven to be effective to keep opponents in check. Can come with perks like Persistence, Tracking or Balance Adjustment.
An interesting sidearm comes from Omolon with the Uffern HC. High impact, low range, high stability. Omolon weapons can come with very interesting perks such as Firefly.
The pulse rifle Herja-D from Häkke boasts high stability but disappoints with moderate range. Perhaps not really recommended right now due to the nerf.
Omolon then serves us the sniper rifle Uzume RR4. An interesting choice in a normal week.
But this week, there is also the Eirene RR4 sniper rifle with top impact. Besides Empty Look, it is considered the best legendary sniper overall. This is probably the weapon you should get besides the Arminius as well. Even if “Roulette” only works with headshots now.

Which weapons can be picked up this week with strong rolls?
Throughout the day, we will present to you which items have good rolls:
Starting off is the pulse rifle Suros PDX-45. It comes with Roll 3 featuring Balance Adjustment, Adapted Stock and Smallbore. Thus high stability, which is always looked for in pulse rifles. Roll 1 comes with Headseeker, Smallbore and Adapted Stock. You can probably argue about whether you prefer Balance Adjustment or Headseeker.
On Reddit, the sniper rifle Aoife Rua-D. is also recommended. It comes with Solar damage, Perfect Balance, Overflow and Injection Mold.
The Zarinea-D from last week comes with Crowd Control, Firefly and Smallbore. Good roll.
The Suros-Ari 41 is available with Outlaw, Hammer-Forged and Rifled Barrel.
An Uzume R44 comes this week with Arc damage, Outlaw, Mulligan, Zen Moment. Not really great either.

We are giving away 80 beta keys for the action MMORPG Black Desert, which has already started today in beta.
Black Desert is one of the most interesting MMORPGs currently in development. With excellent visual aesthetics and intriguing sandbox concepts, the game has been in an open beta in South Korea for some time. The local publisher, Daum, is also bringing the game to the European market.
In a preview, we referred to Black Desert as a mix of Tera and ArcheAge. It has the graphics and combat system of Tera, and the emphasis on the open world, trade system, and many small ideas from ArcheAge.
However, last year it was on the other side of the world and thus far away. As of this morning at 8:00 AM, it is in a closed beta here in Europe.
We are giving away 80 beta keys – Here’s how to get them
In collaboration with Daum, we can give away 80 beta keys for the first closed beta phase of Black Desert. The beta started this morning at 8:00 AM. It will last until Tuesday, December 22nd at 8:00 AM. For the next phase, we will then enter with more beta keys.
To participate in the giveaway, you must enter your email address in this field here. Then wait until this evening, December 16th, at 6:00 PM, when the entry deadline is. And you will then be notified if you have won a key. It will be sent to your email address. For further details, check this Black Desert page. But first, about the giveaway:
The giveaway is closed.
The giveaway is managed by Godankey, data is not stored for commercial purposes but only used for the email delivery of the keys. Participation is free, and the legal recourse is excluded.
The Saturnalia Festival brings some benefits in SMITE. We will tell you how to get free gems.
A Week Full of Bargains
In the MOBA SMITE, the Saturnalia Festival is held from December 16 to December 22, which has now become a certain tradition in the game. For a week, there are numerous price reductions and earnable gems with which players can buy plenty of cosmetic upgrades for their favorite gods.
Daily Changing Offers
Throughout the week, the gods and skins (except for the current Odyssey skins) from the various pantheons will have their prices reduced alternately. Each day, a different pantheon is featured, so if you want a specific god or a special appearance, mark the following days:
December 16: Mayan Pantheon
December 17: Egyptian Pantheon
December 18: Roman Pantheon
December 19: Nordic Pantheon
December 20: Chinese Pantheon
December 21: Hindu Pantheon
December 22: Greek Pantheon
Double XP and Followers
If you don’t feel like spending real money, you’ll benefit from another bonus throughout the week. The experience points gained and the number of followers earned are doubled during Saturnalia. So this is the perfect time to boost your account level a bit, or to get your favorite god finally to mastery level 10 to unlock the diamond skin.
Free Gems for All Winners
A quick victory brings 40 gems per day.
For every first victory of the day, 40 gems are rewarded, regardless of the chosen game mode. So you can earn up to 280 gems for free throughout the week, allowing you to purchase some cool skins. Or you can invest the gems in the voice packs of the various gods, which are also reduced by 50% for the entire week. Keep in mind that a voice pack counts for all skins of the god – so if you’ve unlocked multiple premium appearances for a character, several different voice packs await you.
It’s Christmas time in Landmark, the upcoming building MMO by Daybreak Games. Therefore, the development team recently deployed a Holiday Patch and placed some Christmas gifts under the voxel Christmas tree for the players.
In addition to a new festive costume for all players, a whole range of new Christmas effects and items, as well as an interactive, music-playing gramophone and a new snowy island have been added to the game, where players can showcase their winter and Christmas creations.
Even the “Big Things”, which according to a forum post by Darrin McPherson (Creative Director) published at the beginning of November should come “soon”, were unfortunately not part of the current patch. It is suspected that this might be the new combat system for Everquest Next that the developers have been working on for several months and which will also be introduced in a modified form, for testing, in Landmark. However, due to the upcoming Christmas holidays at Daybreak, it is to be expected no earlier than the beginning of next year.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , expensive level boost items have surfaced. They are causing excitement.
The last complaint was almost a week ago, when someone probably thought: Time for new ones. Three “25 packs” for Destiny appeared today in the PlayStation Store without much announcement. They wanted 30€ for a single one. In the USA and on Xbox One, the microtransactions have also now appeared.
According to the description, the pack also contains a “subclass boost,” probably to increase focus, and telemetries.
The Destiny players on Reddit are completely perplexed by this offer: 30 euros or 30 dollars just to level up to 25? That’s a) ridiculously expensive, b) against Bungie’s statement that they only wanted to bring cosmetics, and c) doesn’t do anything because leveling really only starts later.
The US site Kotaku is also shaking its head. The price is “FUCKING INSANE” (politely translated: damn completely crazy) and makes no sense. The “real leveling” only begins at 40. For the 30€, you only save a few hours. Getting a character to level 25 doesn’t take long and is actually quite fun.
Activision currently has no statement regarding the whole action.
By the way: Yesterday there was a PlayStation 4 bundle promotion at Amazon. A PlayStation 4 cost without anything 299€, with Destiny in the Year 2 version with all DLCs also 299€. The Destiny pack was sold out within a few hours. So much for the competitive prices for Christmas.
The hero shooter Paladins received a new update, rewarding players even more with cards and significantly improving the balance.
More Cards for Everyone
For the past few weeks, the shooter from HiReZ, the creators of Smite, has been in closed beta. Almost every week, the developers release an update for Paladins: Champions of the Realm, and this time, they have once again decided in favor of the beta players – there are many new cards, and the balance is slowly but surely earning its name. We summarize the highlights of the current patch 0.9 for you.

The biggest change occurred in the area of cards and level-ups. Heroes can now only reach level 5 during a match; the temporary system up to level 10 has been removed. At the same time, changes were made to how cards are drawn during a match, and a new rarity was introduced: Speciality.
Speciality cards are rarer than legendary and are always (without exception) drawn at level 1. They have immense impacts on your character and determine the playstyle for the upcoming match. Do you want to play the dwarf Barik with 2 turrets, focus on pure weapon damage, or improve his barricade?
Evie is now a bit better balanced – just like all heroes from Paladins.
To do justice to the new cards and improve the onboarding experience for new players, the starting decks of cards have been re-adjusted. All players now have at least 2 cards of each rarity – including legendary! For existing beta players, it gets even better: they receive the new cards “on top” and will already have a fairly decent collection.
And More Cards: Character Masteries
In addition to account level, there is now also a separate experience bar for each of the 9 characters. As you fill this bar, a random card for the respective character is granted for each level-up (up to 25). While it is possible that some may appear more than once, this is a new lucrative source of income to earn many cards even without real money. If you already have a card, it’s not a problem, because like all others, the excess copies can be converted into new cards in the chamber. Thus, even a duplicate card is a progress!
The card system has been changed again – it is now structured more logically and sensibly.
Apart from these highlights, there have been countless balance changes, too many to detail all of them. Initial test matches confirm that HiRez is on the right track with the current changes to make Paladins a real hit. The attitude of daring to do “crazy things” during a beta seems to pay off.

If you have nothing planned for next weekend starting from December 18th, you should act quickly – we have 1500 beta keys for Blade & Soul.
1500 new fighters are being sought!
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to try out a new MMORPG just as the Christmas holidays and vacation season begin? To not leave the house during the cold days and simply spend the nights with hot women and hard hits? For anyone who thinks this sounds like the perfect winter activity, we can help!
Blade & Soul is a Korean MMORPG, with a strong focus on action-packed combat. Although the game has been available in the Asian region for several years, it is finally coming to Europe. For the western release, some special systems have been designed to meet the expectations of players here. However, mainly players will benefit from the long maturation period of the game, allowing them to enjoy a rounded gaming experience.
Jump into the game – you just have to be quick.
We are giving away a total of 1500 keys for the upcoming beta phase of Blade & Soul, which starts on December 18th and ends on December 22nd, 2015. Although “give away” might be the wrong word, as we are simply throwing the codes out into the crowd. All you need to do is provide a valid email address and be among the first 1500 people to enter the box below – Bam! Then it can begin. Once the 1500 are given out, the keys will go out. Those who are quick will tell their friends about it, because of course it is even more fun in a community.

The release of Ark Survival Evolved on Xbox One in Game Preview is imminent. But when do the servers go live exactly on December 16?
On Wednesday, December 16, it will be time: The dinosaur MMO Ark Survival Evolved will be released as Game Preview on Xbox One. But when is the exact release? When does it start in Germany?
As the developers announced on Twitter, it is supposed to be midnight in each respective region. In the USA, Eastern Time is assumed.
5 important facts about the launch of Ark Survival Evolved on Xbox One
You should be able to start the download on the Xbox One at midnight. The game is in Game Preview (a kind of Early Access) and will cost around €35. Owners of the Game Preview version will not have to purchase it again at the release in June 2016.
In the action MMO Marvel Heroes 2015, the Danger Room has been released and brings new content. However, the relaunch for Marvel Heroes 2016 will take place next year.
The Danger Room serves as a simulation chamber for the X-Men in the comics, essentially like a huge holo-deck. With a few keystrokes, you fight against overpowering opponents in various scenarios.
In the video game, the Danger Room is a new endgame activity featuring randomly generated levels, missions, and bosses. At level 60, Beast will introduce you to the Danger Room. In a comprehensive FAQ on their site, the developers explain the ideas behind it: The Danger Room serves as a “template” for various scenarios and is meant to provide a slightly different challenge, never the same.
Well, later they want to deliver unique scenarios – so-called “special missions.” However, these will only be unlocked when players are accustomed to the Danger Room and they are sure there are no issues.
Additionally, in the new mode, you can also earn “Merits,” which can be exchanged with special vendors.
In the meantime, they have actually introduced the heroine Magik into the game (after Blade). She is also part of the X-Men universe.
