What happens to your hero in the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria when you are offline and pursuing your activities in “real life”?
Your hero does not simply disappear from the world of Chronicles of Elyria when you log out of the game. He remains active and becomes what’s known as an “Offline Player Character”. The game’s AI then takes over your hero and will play for you. There is a specific reason for this: Since your hero’s lifespan is limited, you obviously want to make the most of this limited time. So the AI takes over the hero and ensures that he also improves during this time or does things that would otherwise take a lot of time. Furthermore, each player character has an important place in the world and is part of the story developed by the players.
If your hero suddenly were no longer in the world, it would have an impact on the story. However, you can only experience a continuous and exciting story if all heroes are always available. Another reason is the time that progresses in the game. Some shops are only open at certain times, there are seasons that affect harvesting, and traveling to other areas can take several days. But since you cannot play 24/7, you would miss out on many things in the game. These tasks can be taken over by the AI.
Decide for yourself what your hero does
The high number of options to shape the hero according to personal preferences reveals itself right at character creation.
Of course, an AI is never as intelligent and flexible as a human, which in games that use a similar system often leads to the hero doing strange or “dumb” things. To prevent this, each player in Chronicles of Elyria can determine how their character should behave once they are offline. You can set behavior patterns and specific activities that the hero will carry out. This includes patrolling certain trade routes, training skills, tending to your garden, running a shop, and much more. How it relates to attacks from other players when you are offline is still unclear at the moment.

In the Free2Play MMO Skyforge a third invasion is approaching, and the event “Law and Order” is also underway.
Since yesterday, the event “Law and Order” has been active in Skyforge. Immortals can ensure law and order in the capital. However, this is not a “real event” but takes place like the Grand Prix through their own adepts. So everything is abstract – it’s about sending out your own disciples as often as possible to obtain special rewards. Those who want to participate need licenses, which can be obtained through adventures or the market. More action for the immortals is likely to come from the “Gorgonids” invasion. It was mistakenly displayed as the “Death Reapers” invasion, which has been reverted, and now the snakelike nasty creatures are ready to join the fray.

Also Guild Wars 2 is celebrating Halloween again this year. During the annual event “The Shadow of the Mad King” there are some new rewards …
It gets spooky in Lion’s Arch
The King Thorn wants players to suffer again – and they just want his loot in return.
Like almost all MMOs, Guild Wars 2 has a very special interpretation of Halloween. From October 23rd, Lion’s Arch will be decoratively transformed for almost 2 weeks, filled with lots of pumpkins and candies, because it’s time for “Trick or Treat!” The principle of the event is the same as in previous years: This time, the undead King Oswald Thorn causes havoc and lures brave players into his own instance, where he plays all sorts of creepy tricks on them (which often end in death).
The rewards look as great as usual.
However, there are some updates: A screenshot on the official homepage of Guild Wars 2 teases numerous rewards that players can look forward to. In addition to a (really disgusting) Mummy Backpack, there is also the much prettier Butterfly variant. New weapons, such as the Dragon Axe and thematically appropriate Wings, suit every Tyrian, even outside of Halloween time. Some of these can be obtained in the instance and at the various events, while others can be purchased for candies (the holiday currency) from the respective merchant.
Last but not least, Minis (pets) must not be missing, which will accompany you all year round and at least keep some of the dark atmosphere alive.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Black Spindle is one of the coveted exotic weapons. We show you a guide on how to obtain it.
How to get the exotic sniper rifle Black Spindle? – The real question is not “How?”, but “When do you get the Black Spindle?” – Rarely, but today is one of those days.
In order to embrace the Black Spindle, it is necessary for the quest “Lost to Light” to be active as a daily story mission. It can only be obtained on these days, from 11:00 AM to 10:59 AM the next day.
You can see how it works in the video guide to the Black Spindle that we present to you.

It is explained in detail how it works. It is mainly about speed, because during the daily mission, you must reach the elevator leading to the Taniks Strike “Shadow Thief” within a short time and without wiping. If you are not fast enough or wipe completely once, the door leading to this elevator will already be closed.
Although the Black Spindle has been available in Destiny with 20 points less attack value since patch 2.01 than before the patch, it still has excellent stats and is suitable as a “Heavy Hitter” especially for the King’s Fall raid and stationary, difficult bosses.
By the way: Not only is the Black Spindle available in this mission, but also the ship Wiensänger.

In the space online game Elite: Dangerous, mysterious artifacts can be found that, according to the developers, lead to a great mystery.
What is the significance of the artifacts that can currently be frequently found in Elite: Dangerous? Many players wonder this when they discover organic-looking objects that apparently scan some of the solar systems and then send a mysterious signal to an unknown location. One player was able to decipher one of the artifacts and discovered a grid model of the Viper spacecraft class inside! The decryption was anything but simple, as the signal had to be analyzed with an ancient scanner that the player happened to carry as cargo.
Are the Thargoids returning?
It seems that the artifacts are scanning human spacecraft and sending the data somewhere. But for what purpose? Players are now speculating about what it could be, while Michael Brookes, Executive Producer at the developer studio Frontier Developments, only vaguely suggests that the mystery has just begun. However, the players seem to agree that these are alien artifacts that send data to a mysterious alien race. Are they the Thargoids that appeared in previous Elite games? Could an invasion be imminent?
Tension is rising!
With this mystery, the developers of Elite: Dangerous have rekindled the interest of many fans who had become somewhat bored with the content. A war with an alien race would provide excitement and also an interesting story – something that Elite: Dangerous is currently lacking somewhat. One can look forward to how this situation will develop and what awaits the players of the space online game Elite: Dangerous.

A small bug in Heroes of the Storm turned Support Tassadar into the biggest carry among all carries.
The Death Laser of Aiur
Bugs are not uncommon in games. But when a character in Heroes of the Storm can suddenly kill any enemy with a single click, it’s usually only funny for one out of ten people. While not all bugs are truly devastating, a current bug is indeed a game breaker: Tassadar can one-hit in certain cases and does not discriminate between minions, mercenaries, or even the enemy Nexus.
https://youtu.be/wCDQqhibzaU?t=2m36s
Whether the bug with Tassadar was intentionally created or just an unfortunate coincidence has not been clarified yet. Since there is a short lag with each attack, it seems to me – as a layman – that this is an internal error. Tassadar’s laser is his auto-attack, which is supposed to tick every 0.5 seconds. It seems that there is a tick much more frequently (maybe every 0.005 seconds), creating the lag, and only when no further tick occurs because the target is dead does the game continue.
Blizzard has addressed this problem and is looking into it, so a hotfix can be expected soon.

In WildStar Reloaded, the Free2Play version of the sci-fi MMO, players are invited to check out the new improved MMORPG with a new trailer.
Harder, faster, better – more loot, prettier, polished – everything is even more fantastic and free! That is the message of the latest trailer for WildStar. It harks back to old times, mixing grandiosity with slapstick comedy.
The trailer reminds us again: No other game features characters making such expressive faces as the game with the Chua.
In the MOBA League of Legends (LoL), patch 5.21 is on the test server and it overhauls Zilean.
This is what patch 5.20 is currently doing
What’s new in LoL? First of all, patch 5.20 is now live and it makes everyone’s favorite annoyance Teemo even more annoying and saw-like. He can now lay his mushroom traps a bit faster. Also included in the patch are a lot of new skins, further balance adjustments, and the new champ Kindred, whose release took place yesterday afternoon.
Additionally, the “One for All” mode is making a return – here a 5-player team plays the same champion.
This is happening on the test server with patch 5.21
On the test server, the next patch is already in progress. Here, they are addressing Zilean, the old time-waster in LoL. His passive grants 8% bonus experience for everyone. This is now considered quite lame, so they are changing the passive:
Zilean will now continuously collect “passively” experience points in a special pool, and when he has enough to help a teammate level up, he can right-click on him, who gets a level up, and Zilean himself receives as much experience as he has just distributed. This could make him one of the most popular teammates ever!
Also in 5.21, Zombie Nunu, Slayer Pantheon, and Slayer Jinx will soon be appearing in LoL. A zombie and a duo of zombie hunters fitting for Halloween.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the Iron Banner is active. We take a look at what to consider in the PvP event.
What is the Iron Banner?
The Iron Banner is a monthly one-week PvP event in Destiny. Players compete against each other as in the regular Crucible, and are assigned to teams. However, the “level advantage” is active.
Players with a lower light level than their opponent deal slightly less damage (though this is hardly noticeable). As you can see, the current red curve is almost flat like the very flat one at launch again. Only at 150 points light level difference does the real drop occur. A player with 260 light level in the Iron Banner only loses about 10% of their damage when firing at a 310 player.
How long does the Iron Banner last in Destiny?
The Iron Banner started on Tuesday, October 13th, at 8:00 PM. It will last until Tuesday, October 20th, at 11:00 AM.
At rank 3, there are three new class items:
What is the goal of the Iron Banner?
The goal of the Iron Banner is to reach a high reputation level with Lord Saladin, the head honcho of the event. Then more items can be purchased from him. There is also a chance to receive items right after a match.
However, things are not going so well at the moment, and many complain about weak rewards and poor drop rates.
Rank 4 reward: Iron Crown-D, a new pistol.
How to gain reputation with Lord Saladin?
There are 3 main ways to gain reputation:
Play Iron Banner Crucible and win, then you gain reputation
Play Iron Banner Crucible and lose, then you gain medals, of which you can collect up to 5. After the next win in Crucible, they automatically convert into reputation
Complete bounties for Lord Saladin – there are some new ones. He has 3 “daily” bounties every day and 3 “weekly” bounties per week. There are a total of 9 daily bounties to choose from.
There is still the Twink bonus – you earn double reputation with your “lower level Guardians” if you have a Guardian with a higher reputation rank than them.
At rank 4, you can acquire these boots with a defense value of 280.
What has changed?
The following has changed:
The “Hardened” bonus is now permanently active, so there is no need to worry about it. This means: Players earn more reputation throughout the Destiny week (which runs from Tuesday to Tuesday) as the week approaches its end.
The reward structure is now a bit different: Players are expected to earn their items in combat. Items at Lord Saladin now cost the coveted “legendary marks” and have weaker stats compared to when they drop. So, one should only buy in case of emergency.
There are new emblems and class items. The shaders remain the same. It’s still the case that the 3 items grant a reputation bonus.
At rank 1 the emblem Iron Pride – for 1000 Glimmer.
At rank 2 the shader Millions of Millions for 1000 Glimmer.
At rank 3 there is the new class item for 40 legendary marks. It has a defense value of 280.
At rank 4 there are boots for every class with a defense value of 280 for 40 marks. Also the new pistol Iron Crown-D for 90 legendary marks. It deals Solar damage, damage increases stability, and preparing the weapon grants bonus damage.
At rank 5 the emblem The Ironwood Tree for 1000 Glimmer and the shader Gold Spiral for 1000 Glimmer. Also the new pulse rifle Nirwens Grace for 90 legendary marks. It has quite decent stats but low impact. Additionally, the radar remains active while aiming, and precision hits improve the reload time. This thing is quite nice!
Are there other rewards?
A ship can still be obtained. Other than that, we do not know of anything. We know that the weapons and armor pieces that Saladin sells can also drop in the Iron Banner. And that starting from rank 2. Then, however, with higher stats (up to 300 defense values) and the possibility of other traits.
Currently, there are no reports of any other special armor pieces or weapons from Lord Saladin’s Iron Banner loot table. Players who have reached rank 5 are also quite disillusioned with the drops.

This time it looks quite poor. In the past, the Iron Banner was the only way to get high-end gear without matchmaking. That has now completely fallen away.
The weapons are also not super interesting without the possibility to reforge, although the pulse rifle is enticing. Sure, if you enjoy PvP and like playing, you should enjoy it. However, the rewards that once made the Iron Banner unique are currently not visible.
What do you think about the Iron Banner in October?

Before the next addon Legion, there will be a new patch in World of Warcraft. This brings new old instances, new mounts, and a familiar point system …
Stretching the Content a Bit
Archimonde in Mythic mode – soon also possible across realms.
Players of World of Warcraft currently fear a major content drought until the expansion “Legion” launches sometime next year. However, Blizzard shows at least a little compassion and presents the next patch 6.2.3. While there are hardly any truly new content, several instances will be added to the Timewalking event, and some mounts will find their way into the game. PvPers can look forward to the start of the 3rd arena season, and Mythic raids can soon be tackled across realms. Let’s take a look at the changes in detail.
Cataclysm Dungeons Polished Up
The most popular dungeons from Cataclysm are being incorporated into the Timewalking event!
The Timewalking event is very popular among many players, as old instances finally become useful again and newer players get the opportunity to experience at least a hint of the old charm. For this reason, Blizzard is expanding the system with 6 instances from Cataclysm, which will be available during a weekend event:
Grim Batol
Stonecore
Lost City of the Tol’vir
Vortex Pinnacle
Throne of the Tides
End Time
Additionally, there will be a new “old” instance from Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, which will also be available on their respective weekends:
Terrace of the Magisters (Burning Crusade)
The Culling of Stratholme (Wrath of the Lich King)
The Terrace of the Magisters – finally able to deal a setback to the old Kael!
But that’s not all! A new mount will be able to drop in all Timewalking dungeons, albeit with a very low probability. The Timeless Dragon is a dragon of the Eternal Dragonflight, its appearance is based on Murozond (the corrupted Nozdormu).
The new dragon awaits all who have a lot of luck and enjoy visiting old instances.
Return of Valor Points
The Valor Points were banished only with the introduction of Warlords of Draenor and are now finding their way back into the game. This means that in heroic and Mythic instances – in addition to their previous loot – points can be earned again. Along with this comes the item upgrade system: All items from the current expansion can be improved by up to two levels by using Valor Points. This should at least for a while create new motivation to raid the dungeons and dive back into 5-player content.
Mythic Raids Now Cross-Realm
Anyone who previously couldn’t play with their friends in Mythic raids due to their home realm can no longer use that excuse. With Patch 6.2.3, even the most challenging raid content can now be tackled cross-realm, which should break down the last barriers that existed there. Now even role players can take down Archimonde on Mythic with their raid-loving Real-ID friends!
Speaking of Archimonde: anyone who defeats the lovable Eredar Lord on heroic will receive a new quest item that leads players to Moonlight Glade. At the end of the quest line, there is no less than the Guardian of the Glade, which we have already introduced in the past.
The Guardian of the Glade is only available until the pre-patch of Legion!
Blizzard will talk more about the changes regarding the arena season switch in the near future.
In Star Wars Battlefront, there will be no in-game voice chat. Those wanting to coordinate must rely on external programs.
Force Choke Takes the Words
Communication among players is one of the most important elements in team shooters, especially beyond the casual level. It would be surprising if Star Wars Battlefront did not have a built-in voice chat. But that is exactly how it is. The developers recently revealed on Twitter that players would have to turn to alternative programs like Skype or Teamspeak.

The reason for this decision was not explicitly stated, but it can be assumed that the intention is to protect younger players. Because Star Wars is still very popular among young people. Parents might have no problem with their children (in America, usually earlier than in Germany) blasting a few Rebels or Imperials out of virtual life but surely do not want to hear someone yell “Your mother!” every two minutes. In The Elder Scrolls Online, several players have also expressed negative opinions about the voice chat, which has been described as an immersion killer.
Voice chat? Only through external programs.
Battlefront, in general, relies little on explicit violence; blood is almost absent, and even fallen heroes like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker collapse more or less non-violently on the battlefield. For tight-knit friend groups, the lack of voice chat may not be a major issue, but such solutions are rarely suitable for 40 players. There will likely be little large-scale coordination among all participants.

Well, computer games are getting closer to reality – especially graphically. It seems that it can sometimes happen that an Egyptian news presenter mistakes a scene from the game Apache: Air Assault by the War Thunder developers for a Russian airstrike in Syria …
The Egyptian news anchor Ahmed Moussa is quite controversial in the USA, as he makes no secret of the fact that he supports Russia’s intervention in Syria. During a news broadcast, he praised the precision with which Russian troops operate in Syria and wanted to illustrate this with a video that he believed depicted an actual Russian airstrike. In the video, the attack of an Apache helicopter is seen, which precisely eliminates ground troops from the air.
The Russians have succeeded. Yes, that is the Russian army, those are Russian weapons. That’s Putin. Yes, they are fighting terrorism, they are really fighting it. Now you will see a disturbing video, really disturbing. – Ahmed Moussa
https://youtu.be/iSCKP8luiFw
A video from a computer game is mistaken for a scene from a real conflict
This, however, is not footage from the real conflict, but a scene from the computer game Apache: Air Assault. This was released in 2010 by Gaijin Entertainment, which is better known as the developers of the online game War Thunder. Ahmed Moussa was obviously not aware of this and even commented on the events with great enthusiasm, praising the precision with which the Russian helicopter eliminated the ground troops. Of course, it was not long before the internet made fun of it when it became clear that it was scenes from a computer game.
Actually, Gaijin Entertainment could see this as a compliment, as the Dagor engine used in the games apparently creates such realistic scenes that they can easily be confused with the real world.
Those who buy the new Funcom game “The Park” will receive a quirky costume in The Secret World .
In 1979, Steve Gardener slaughtered a group of teenagers. He wore his work uniform: Gardener was the mascot of Atlantic Island’s Parks, and his service uniform was a chipmunk costume.
“Now you can also dress like a killer,” Funcom exclaims in a quirky promotional brochure.
Players are being offered a deal: Those who pre-order “The Park,” a roughly two-hour psychological horror game from Funcom, will save money and receive the quirky killer chipmunk costume and QL 10.9 talismans in the fantasy MMORPG “The Secret World.” The items will be available on launch day, which is October 27. Then the “stand-alone” game “The Park,” set in the world of The Secret World, will be released. The chipmunk murders are still a topic there.
Funcom has devised a new strategy to avert impending bankruptcy. This includes continuing the development of MMORPGs and tackling major projects, as well as conducting “smaller experiments” that sometimes utilize their own franchises as a backdrop: The Park is the first of these projects.

LoL fans had to wait longer than usual for the latest champ. Kindred, a quirky new jungle character, was actually planned for patch 5.19, but it wasn’t until today, already in 5.20, that it became available.
Kindred is a unique champ in many ways. He symbolizes inevitable death and has two aspects. The “Lamb” grants a merciful end to those who accept death; the “Wolf” relentlessly hunts those who seek to escape him.

In the game itself, Kindred takes on an unusual role. He is a “jungler” who can mark enemy champs: When he kills them, he becomes stronger. This also applies to jungle camps—only the wolf marks them of his own accord… an interesting new color in the LoL palette.

The closed beta of Overwatch, Blizzard’s latest game, is set for October 27.
On October 27, just a few days before Blizzcon, the first shooter that Blizzard has ever made will enter a closed beta.
The start of the beta will be small, with relatively few players, and it will gradually expand. It is intended to be more of an “old school” beta focused on finding bugs and issues.
The beta will launch with both a spectator mode and a built-in voice chat. These are also firsts for Blizzard. With 18 heroes and 7 maps, it will offer a lot of gameplay content.
A small downside: The beta begins in North and South America and will arrive in Europe later. In addition to this “closed beta phase,” there will also be “open beta weekends” offered, which will allow many more players access to test server stability.
The lucky players who gain access to the beta events will be recruited from the Battle.net accounts that have signed up for it.
ArenaNet will work with ESL in the future to elevate the PvP of Guild Wars 2 to even more professional dimensions.
Two Seasons Before the World Championship
Since the announcement of the expansion Heart of Thorns for Guild Wars 2, the game has been experiencing a steady increase in new players, largely due to the free-to-play model. Especially in the PvP areas, ArenaNet’s MMORPG has seen such a massive increase that they have decided to take another step. In the future, ArenaNet will collaborate with ESL, the world’s largest eSport tournament organizer.
To kick off this partnership, there will be two seasons where all interested PvP players can compete for up to $400,000, the largest prize pool ever for a tournament in Guild Wars 2 – only after this will a world championship be held.
The cooperation with ESL also brings new benefits for players: The minimum age for participation will be lowered to 16 years, and regional restrictions will be largely removed. This opens up competitive PvP to an even broader audience of players and allows a larger number than ever before to fully commit to professional PvP with Heart of Thorns.
For more information about the game, the new elite specializations, and the upcoming legendary weapons, you can visit our Guild Wars 2 topic page.

Star Citizen celebrates a new milestone: More than 1 million people are now supporting the project.
On average, $92 per supporter
The success story of Star Citizen is unique. Not only has the game reached its funding goal and all available “stretch goals” at a rapid pace during the crowdfunding phase, but the level of support is exceptionally high. While other games would be thrilled with a funding amount of $1 million, Star Citizen can barely chuckle at that.
With $92 per person, you can really do quite a bit.
More than 1 million people have already given the game a financial boost and are official “backers” of the title. With a total amount raised of over $92 million, this means that each supporter has contributed an average of $92 (about €80). The trust that fans place in this project is unparalleled. Already, Star Citizen is one of the great crowdfunding successes.
Anyone who has not yet heard about the game can try the alpha version 1.2 for free until October 24 and see for themselves whether the game is worth so much support. To do this, simply follow this tweet:

In the latest card chaos of Hearthstone, the randomness factor is pushed to the max: Not only are the cards random, but so are their costs.
More RNG is always better
In the latest card chaos of Hearthstone, Blizzard has chosen another extreme. On 14.10. at 5 PM, the new game mode opened its doors, increasing the equally hated and loved randomness factor to a new maximum. Players can still choose their own class, but will be assigned a deck of completely random cards.
As if that’s not enough randomness, the developers have added another random component: The cost of each card in your hand changes randomly with each turn. This means you might play a Nefarian for only 2 mana or pull a free Neptulon from your sleeves. The current mode is thus not determined by outstanding skill, but almost entirely by luck – but it’s still fun.
Don’t forget that there’s again a chance to grab a free classic card pack. All you need to do is win a round in card chaos against a random player. As usual, you can convert the cards you get into Arcane Dust if needed, to craft other cards. A game is worth it for both veterans and newcomers alike.

In World of Warships, players have the opportunity to test new ships if they prove to be accurate shots.
A “kill steal” is referred to when one player deals the main damage to an opponent and another player comes by and delivers the finishing blow. This is quite frowned upon, and Wargaming is now encouraging it.
For the latest event, which runs until October 19, players can earn the right to either captain the Königsberg, a German cruiser, or the Ognewoj, a Russian destroyer. To do this, they must sink four enemy ships in a battle – the killing blow counts. For the Königsberg, four enemy ships must be sunk in a level IV Japanese ship; for the Ognewoj, it must be in a level IV American ship.

If players achieve the four kills (no matter how they did it), they can try out the respective ship until October 19. After that, it will disappear again. However, they will receive the experience they earned with it.

The Korean MMORPG Black Desert will be released in German, but it will not be a Free2Play game.
This is a surprise: Black Desert will not be released in the West as a “Free2Play” game like in Korea, but it will be a “Buy2Play” title. This means: You have to buy it once, but there will be no subscription fees. The intention is to change Black Desert and its game systems accordingly.
Additionally, it has been announced that Black Desert will be released not only in English but also in German and French. This will involve extensive translation work: 2.5 million words need to be translated.
http://youtu.be/VRavO3hh2G4
Alpha tests for Black Desert will start soon
As a fan site announced, alpha tests for the Western version of Black Desert will start soon.
Today, the official homepage of the Western version of Black Desert went live. There isn’t much to see on it yet – except for the trailer we embedded above.
