It’s Wednesday again! While I am slowly running out of topics again (one could almost say that in the gaming sector everything is more or less okay), a big surprise awaits all gamers this week. The Overwatch beta has started and the first invitations are being sent out. As expected, not everyone who wanted to get into the beta has made it – and that brings us to today’s hook.
Why HIM and not ME?
The world conspiracy has struck again: Longtime fans are not in the beta. Despite a God-given claim!
I can definitely understand that some players were really looking forward to the beta. Expectations were understandably high, and everyone hoped to get access on the first day – which obviously was not the case. The comments under the respective posts are once again hardly to be surpassed in arrogance and idiocy. Almost every second user contribution resembles one of the following examples (usually with significantly more spelling mistakes):
“I signed up for the beta so early, why am I not there?!?”
“OMG, damn Blizzard, I will never play your games again because I didn’t get into the beta.”
“Why is the streamer XYZ in the beta, he only has 15 viewers? I have 18! I demand to get into the beta!!!”
“I am boycotting Blizzard now. It’s outrageous that longtime fans only get access after newcomers.”
There must be a universe where “Participants will be randomly selected” is synonymous with “We hate you, you are not allowed to play.”
Do threats increase the chances? Spoiler: No.
I can hardly comprehend it. I always try to imagine these people at a job interview. “Welcome to Blizzard, we are looking for friendly, helpful game testers who will test our products thoroughly -” and before the man can finish, the player throws himself on the ground, pounds wildly with his fists, and screams “I will never buy anything from you again!”
Of course, a beta invitation is not a job interview, but with the countless comments that deal with blunt threats like “I won’t play XYZ anymore,” I can only shake my head. Yes, Blizzard must be desperately looking for testers like you. Understanding, friendly, and reasonable players who give valuable feedback during the testing of a game.
So, my dear continuous screamers: Those who behave like that will certainly not increase their chances of ultimately getting into the beta, should Blizzard decide to “target” to catch up with people. A little more behavior would be nice. Then you wouldn’t have to be ashamed later.
P.S.: By the way, I am also not in the beta yet. So, now it’s out!

If you ordered the SUROS-DIS-43 last week, you can rejoice: One of the possible editions has full auto. Not bad for a scout!
These are the weapons available for testing
There are five prototype weapons available this week, which are:
The automatic rifle Häkke Test-A, you have to catch Cabal with that.
The automatic rifle Suros TSA-10, you need to achieve precision skills.
The hand cannon Häkkee-Test-A you need to achieve double kills in the Crucible.
The hand cannon Häkke-Test-A is also available to achieve double kills.
The rocket launcher Suros TSR-10 is waiting to be used in the Crucible.
These 5 legendary weapons you can order from Banshee in Destiny on 28.10.
This week you can order these five weapons (by clicking on the name you will go to a German detail page by Bungie):
The automatic rifle Suros ARI-45 has excellent base stats for magazine, range, fire rate and power is also good. Interesting perks include Tracker, Persistence, Rode and some others. Really a good, solid weapon. Some rave about it.
The scout rifle Suros Dis-43 is also available again this week. It has decent stats but nothing outstanding. It can get full auto as a perk, but that’s quite rare. Due to the strong competition among scout rifles (disagreement) a difficult choice.
The hand cannon Häkke Gaheris-D has decent power and strong stability, however a small magazine and fairly low range. For the perks, Tracker, Spray and Play, Lawless or Last Round are attractive. However, these are on the same node.
The pulse rifle Häkke-Lyudumila-D was also available just last week. It’s a solid pulse rifle with the option for strong perks like full auto, Tracker or Head Seeker. If in doubt, go ahead and take it.
The only special weapon available this week is the shotgun Häkke Strongbow-D. It has a fairly high stability, but otherwise rather weak stats. The weapon can come with full auto. Then it would be quite interesting.
With The Park, Funcom released a single-player horror adventure set in the universe of the MMORPG The Secret World. We took the horror trip.
As a father of three children, I can absolutely relate to the scenario underlying the game – it even happened to me once. During a visit to an amusement park, my daughter did not come out of the slide where I was waiting. My heart sank, and after a frantic search in the park, the child was finally found at the information desk. That day, I aged at least 10 years. Therefore, the story of The Park resonated with me particularly.
A Mysterious Amusement Park
Lorraine is a single mother who wanted to spend a nice day in the Atlantic Island Park amusement park with her son. On the way back to the car, the child remembers that he lost his teddy bear in the park. Although it is already closed, the gates are opened once again so the mother can search for the stuffed animal. However, the little boy slips through the gate as well and disappears. Quickly, they set out to find him. One realizes that something is not right in Atlantic City Park when it suddenly turns to night. In the darkness, it is hard to find the child, which is why they must call out for him repeatedly. This way, they receive hints about where the little boy is and whether there is an object nearby that can be examined.
The dim light and the mysterious, creepy sounds create an oppressive atmosphere as you explore the amusement park from a first-person perspective. Something rustles in the bushes! Quickly, you turn around… Nothing. Suddenly, stones fall from a rock. A glance upward reveals glowing red eyes… Is that a guy in a squirrel costume? An old newspaper article reveals that there were murders in the amusement park. The mascot went crazy and killed visitors with an ice pick! But all this shuddering won’t help; you must find your son.
Who is Lorraine?
During the walk through the park, you learn more about Lorraine, who apparently has psychological problems. Why else would she ride every attraction, even though it’s the middle of the night and she should be looking for her child?
The rides also reveal mysterious voices and suddenly appearing, gruesome creatures that resemble monsters from The Secret World. Are these just hallucinations? While searching for her son, one also repeatedly discovers excerpts from the diaries of the park’s founder Nathaniel Winter, who apparently was not the child-friendly, kind person who built an amusement park on a foggy island for the joy of all… He was searching for something. Something buried deep beneath the island…
The Park plays with perception and creates a creepy atmosphere. In the tunnel of stories, the tale of Hansel and Gretel is atmospherically recounted while you ride through the cave in a swan boat. But something is wrong with that fairy tale, and what lurks in the shadows?
Is it worth it?
The creepy adventure ends after about two hours and offers no replay value. The “surprise” at the end only surprises once, just like the suddenly appearing creatures. Asking 13 euros for this may be too much for some. On the other hand, a movie ticket that lasts only about two hours costs not much less…

Andreas says: Those who want to be properly scared can take a look at The Park. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4 and the great sound effects, the game creates a very good creepy atmosphere. However, the texts and voice acting are completely in English, so good language skills should be brought along to understand everything. The references to the MMORPG The Secret World are definitely present, but will only be noticed by those who know the MMO. The Park also works without knowledge of The Secret World.
To kick off the Grey Night, developer Riot Games has launched a major lore event for League of Legends.
An exciting story about “Shadows and Fates” aims to put players in the right mood for the next big event.
“With the fall of Gangplank, Bilgewater descends into chaos as old rivalries are violently settled, while gang wars threaten to tear the city apart. Miss Fortune pays for her revenge as the Black Mist emerges from the Shadow Isles to envelop the city in a nightmarish storm of restless dead.”
This intro is followed by a 4-chapter story that lets fans of the League of Legends story fully enjoy.
What’s special?
What is special about this event is that it connects to the big Bilgewater event and thus creates a flowing story that fans can follow.
Additionally, there are thrilling stories about Hecarim, Karthus, Kalista, Mordekaiser, and Thresh. With so much reading material, developer Riot Games caters to the wishes of fans who wanted more story from past events.
How do you like the event? What are you looking forward to the most at this event?
In the MMO shooter Destiny , a challenge mode for the raid has been officially confirmed.
The game director of Forsaken, Luke Smith, gave an interview to the gaming magazine “Edge,” from which several YouTubers are now reporting.
Luke Smith stated to Edge: A “challenge mode” for the raid is coming. This involves defeating a boss in a certain way to receive a special emblem and a reward. Three bosses will have this special “mode.”

In the SF-MMO Star Trek Online Season 11 has begun, marking a milestone.
Season 10 was the big highlight in Star Trek Online, the Iconian War was the point everyone had been working towards. Now Season 11 is setting out on a new path. An age of exploration is about to begin.
However, the Iconian War is not completely over yet. In the Mirror Universe, it seemingly had a different outcome. Admiral Leeta, a Dabo girl in the “prime timeline,” is now active in combat zones in the Bad Lands around Deep Space Nine and threatens to attack the space station.
Additionally, as often seen in STO, there are bonuses for logging in. They entice players with a variety of goodies. The “Design Your Ship” event has also come to an end. This design “Omega” has prevailed.

EA and Dice have released the official launch trailer for the multiplayer blockbuster Star Wars: Battlefront during the “Paris Games Week”.
“Once upon a time in a galaxy, far, far away….”
Wait, it’s not that far away anymore, as there are only a few weeks left until the release of the action spectacle. On November 17, the Battlefront saga continues on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The prestigious title is already stirring up emotions. No wonder: Expectations are huge, and the player base is divided. Some expect a mass product without depth, while others are looking forward to exciting, action-packed battles in the Star Wars universe. That it will be a bestseller is as sure as a appearance of Luke Skywalker in the new film trilogy. The beta attracted almost 10 million players.
Whether the ground, air, and hero battles on Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, and Sullust will indeed offer a successful adventure, we will find out very soon. Until then, let’s just enjoy the atmospheric launch trailer of Star Wars: Battlefront:

Just a few minutes ago, the beta of Overwatch started. A little patience can’t hurt…
Access is being sent out in waves
Just a few minutes ago, the beta version of Overwatch went live in Europe and America. Since the access is being distributed in waves, it might take a while until all selected players receive their access to the game – there can be delays of up to 12 hours according to Blizzard. A look into the account management on the battle.net site can already provide information on whether you were selected for the beta, as an “Overwatch Beta” license will appear in your collection.
Jeff Kaplan, one of the leading minds behind Overwatch, has released a short introductory video to reveal the intentions of the developers:

If you haven’t received an invitation yet, there’s no need to despair. Blizzard will invite more players in the future and also hold special beta weekends where many players will be invited. A little patience could pay off.
Keep in mind: There are no keys for Overwatch. Anyone offering such things means you harm. Accounts are activated by Blizzard for the Overwatch beta.
The “Prometheus” method to download the client early is approved by Blizzard and can be used. We should hear a lot more about Overwatch in the next few weeks – there is no NDA for the beta.

Ben Foster, the actor of Medivh in the upcoming Warcraft movie, talks about the technology used …
The Creatures Become Credible
The Warcraft movie has been in production for many years and is finally approaching its release. Ben Foster, the actor who plays Medivh, now discusses the technology used and his belief that the film will set new standards in many aspects. He particularly praises the director Duncan Jones.
“Duncan Jones loves the game, has been playing it for a long time, and has been surrounded by people who seem to have spent several years in this world. That’s a bit creepy, because I knew nothing about the game. But I spoke to people about how much time they put into it. The film was made by people who have a very intimate relationship with the source material.“
Last year at BlizzCon, Jones tried to reassure the large crowd by emphasizing that he was “one of the players” and that he would never forgive himself if he messed this up.

“Especially interesting”, Foster says, “is how different beings are humanized. The technology can now accurately capture eye movements – there is hardly any interpretation, it is all very precise. If the eyes are the mirrors to the soul, you literally experience how the acting comes to life.“ He speaks about the Orcs and other creatures, all portrayed by real actors and later enhanced with CGI animations.
The film will be released in the summer of next year, but fans can look forward to the official trailer, which will be revealed exclusively at BlizzCon in just two weeks.

Black Desert receives an addition in the selection of siege weapons. Who wouldn’t want to lead a war elephant into battle?
Charging through enemies with a loud trumpeting
Black Desert has received a new siege weapon with the expansion of the continent of Varencia: the war elephant. However, those who think they can simply get their hands on such a beast are mistaken. To make the giant trunked beast battle-ready, the entire guild must cooperate or individual players must invest a lot, and I mean a lot, of time.

Numerous items need to be gathered, and a young one must be found. Until a guild has collected 400 units of elephant drinking water, 850 elephant feed, and 900 physical components, some time will pass.
However, the effort might be worth it: Due to its size, three players can fit on the elephant. One takes control and directly uses the brute’s attack power, while two other players serve as spear bearers for additional argumentation power. As long as the characters ride on the elephant, they are immune to damage, but the trunk-bearer is not. – If only Otto knew…

In the superhero MMO DC Universe Online, they keep up with the times and give Supergirl the appearance of actress Melissa Benoist.
DC Universe Online has had a Supergirl for a while now. Now they are adapting her look to the new TV series on CBS. CBS traditionally prefers a more conventional approach – many hit series in Germany like NCIS or Two and a Half Men come from their production.
The new Supergirl series started last night in the USA and features a rather traditional Supergirl with long, dark blonde hair, a mini skirt, and tights. As it turns out, even presidential candidates find her “hot.”

Now there is another trailer and the name for the patch, which is available in two variations. According to 2p, it is called High Daeva: Eternal Descent. However, the trailer does not look like a “descent”. Another site suggests the translation “High Daeva: Heir of Eternity”, which seems much more plausible.
The patch seems to revolve around an “evolution”, a further development of the two races.

The Empire and the Republic have fallen, and your character is merely a symbol of a bygone era and primarily an enemy of the new order, the eternal Emperor Valkorion. Old contacts need to be gathered and new alliances forged to survive in this world.
For the first time, the storyline truly allows you to make drastic decisions, which affect the further course of the story – something that was greatly missed in the base game of SWTOR. Companions can be alienated, planets destroyed, and former friends betrayed. You write the story of the outsider – but are you a hero or a villain?
It is no longer a secret that fans develop a special love for their games. However, when said fans also possess a large portion of creative talent, impressive works often emerge that one would like to print on canvas and hang in the bedroom.
The fan art section of the official World of Warcraft website has been expanded with 10 new artworks. In addition to the first images of the Demon Hunters, there are also some drawings of the beloved Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner.
Brutal violence and a sexy outfit are not mutually exclusive in fantasy games, but they have rarely been staged as well as in this work by Chenbo.
A list of all new works can be found in our sources.
Which image do you think is the most beautiful? Would you hang something like this in your room? And where was I when the nice upper demon was handing out drawing talents?

Hopefully, this is different in the dusk strike. It will be active today from 10:00 AM – thanks to the time change.

Weekly Dusk Strike against Alak-Hul
In the dark, it’s good to mumble, the Nightfall leads against Alak-Hul, known as the Dark Blade.
Modifiers are
Void-Touch – Void damage dealt by guardians is doubled, while the damage dealt by enemies is tripled
Juggler – Enemies do not drop ammunition for the weapon you have equipped at the moment of their demise
Ironclad – More enemies have shields
Kagoor is the boss on T3 in Oryx’s Courtyard and here’s how to defeat her
The T3 boss in Oryx’s Courtyard this week is Kagoor. She is the witch accompanied by ogres. Here’s how to defeat this encounter:
To damage Kagoor, you first need to take out the giant ogre. However, this ogre has an equally gigantic HP pool. Therefore, you need to take out specific enemies, a type of eye, to receive a buff that allows you to deal more damage to ogres. The buff is stackable 3 times, after which you can also quickly take out the “normal” ogres.
Once the big ogre is down, use all abilities to deal damage to Kagoor. After 30 seconds, the next big ogre spawns, and the game starts over if you haven’t defeated her by then.
Are there guides, tips, or tricks for the challenges of the week?
At this point, we will be bringing videos of successful runs against the special enemies this week throughout the day. You can watch, maybe learn something, or just be entertained.

Blizzard emphasizes that this introduction is only a test for now and it has not yet been decided whether this service will be used in the final version of Overwatch. It is also too early to announce whether other games will make use of this.
However, there will be no changes to the fundamental Battle.net application and the voice chat is directly linked to Overwatch – so those who are not part of the beta cannot try it out.
When does the Overwatch beta start, at what time?
The long-anticipated date of “10. Fall” has finally arrived: Starting today, October 27th, the closed beta test of Overwatch will begin in both America and Europe.
Better check your emails and press the F5 key until the hoped-for notification about your account activation appears – I will do that too.
You will not receive separate keys via email, but will only be informed whether you are in or not.
The closed beta is supposed to focus 100% on gameplay feedback.
The Americans will receive the first wave of invitations.
There is no exact time yet when the beta will start.
In the field of indie MMORPGs, quite a bit has happened in the past week. Many games have made significant progress in their development, while others have not. We will dedicate today’s issue of Respec to this.
MMORPGs go through various phases of development. Here, the graphics are improved as new features are added. After all, fans always want something new, and games – especially MMOs – undergo a constant development process where changes need to be made repeatedly.
Shroud of the Avatar
The upcoming selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar is not one of the prettiest games. However, the developers at Portalarium are continuously making enhancements to improve the visuals. A while ago, the trees in the game were replaced with Speedtree trees, and now the water is up for an update. Previously, it looked more like an oily liquid. Starting this week with the Pre-Alpha Release R23, the team will implement the CETO Ocean System.
https://youtu.be/IfM1awejqQs
This will not only make the water graphically look much nicer, but it will also allow for various wave patterns to be simulated. For example, a storm can be noticed by the higher waves. In R23, the new water system will initially be introduced on a trial basis in some areas and will then be gradually expanded to all other scenes.
Camelot Unchained
The upcoming PvP MMORPG Camelot Unchained is also getting a graphic makeover. The developers announced that they would gradually take care of the graphics to improve them, including the armor, the female characters, and more. It was shown how the female Fir Bolg is being developed, and an updated version of the female Golem was also presented. Thus, Camelot Unchained is making a better impression graphically.
Additionally, the Shapeshifter class was introduced for the first time. There will be a deeper reason for the shapeshifting abilities. Moreover, the mere ability to use one’s head and spine as weapons is reason enough to want to play the class, right? The shapeshifters will, however, only find their way into the game after the MMORPG is released.
A different kind of development is happening with the MMO Infinity: The Quest for Earth. It was announced as a massive online game where players could explore 200 billion star systems and engage in real-time battles with thousands of players. However, the project seems to have overwhelmed the developers. Therefore, they have now decided to scale down the scope a bit.

Now it is said that players can engage in battles with around 100 other games in a single star system. This is to be implemented at scale. Sandbox elements and PvP are to be at the forefront. The developers want to finance Infinity: The Quest for Earth through a Kickstarter campaign, aiming to raise 300,000 USD by November 20th.
Sphere 3: Enchanted World
The Russian MMORPG Sphere 3: Enchanted World also aims to offer a backward development, back to the good old days when PvP was truly challenging and you could lose everything. The PK system is supposed to be brutal yet fair, and in addition to PvP, more than 1,000 quests, a sophisticated story, nine classes, and four races will be offered.

This autumn, the open beta test is set to take place on Steam. The developer team will announce a specific date soon. For those wondering, yes, there was also a Sphere 1 and a Sphere 2, of which we actually heard nothing here in the West. PvP fans who find current MMOs too soft should keep an eye on Sphere 3: Enchanted World.
Wurm Unlimited
The sandbox MMORPG Wurm Online is now available on Steam in its new version Wurm Unlimited. It is a standalone version that includes everything the game has to offer so far. In Wurm Unlimited, you don’t follow a story but create your own adventures. Crafting can even become a challenge. Wars between kingdoms, destructible terrain, founding your own settlements, private PvP servers, and the ability to become a god are meant to appeal to many Steam users. Graphically, Wurm Online may not compare to current MMOs, but it can surpass many in terms of scope.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, Halloween is surprisingly celebrated, with some items and events.
On Monday, October 26, at 6:00 PM, it was time: Suddenly, the “Festival of the Lost” started, which is apparently this year’s Halloween event. It runs until November 9.
According to initial reports, there is a Grimoire card entry. Players can now find “Jackolytes” from regular enemies, which were also present last year.

Additionally, the Tower is now festively decorated to match the spooky season. And there are various masks. New emotes can also be purchased in the Tower.
Eververse, the new real-money shop, is now selling the gestures:
Boo – for 300 Silver
Monster Dance – for 500 Silver
Zombie Dance for 700 Silver – the dance is inspired by Michael Jackson’s music video Thriller.
Furthermore, Eververse now also offers Halloween packages, which also cost Silver, thus indirectly real money.
Halloween is Mask Time in Destiny
Inhabitants of the Tower wear various masks. Cayde-6 has disguised himself as Eris Morn (the clever dog), the Cryptarch goes as a gigantic Engram, and Shaxx as the famous, game-removed “Tiger-Man.”
Guardians themselves can also wear masks of some well-known Destiny characters. For example, there are masks of Atheon, Skolas, and a green Engram. Additionally, there are masks of Xur, the Cryptarch, Eris Morn, Oryx, and many more.
These masks are necessary to complete certain quests from Eva Levante. She initially gives a “Free Package” from the Halloween packages which cost Silver from Tess. Additionally, you can fill an empty bag with trinkets when defeating enemies in PvE or PvP while wearing a mask.
Merchants in the Tower also give out candy, except for Eris Morn – she hands out raisins.
The quests definitely show humor. For instance, there is one about falling off the Tower as “Atheon.” A reference to a glitch from Year 1. Or it involves collecting Engrams as a Cryptarch.
The masks seem to be a relatively complex matter. You can even make them permanent with “Glue” by upgrading a “blue mask” to a legendary one. You can trade paper scraps with Eva Levante for one of the masks.

There is even a new Crucible map just for the Halloween season! The Cathedral of Dusk.
