The beta of Star Wars Battlefront is causing a stir. But how would it have looked 20 years ago on 16-bit systems?
If you take a look at the system requirements for Star Wars Battlefront, some might start sweating cold at the back of their necks. It’s not that bad in practice, and with low settings, it runs on machines that hovered just above the lower pain threshold for “pretty good computer” a few years ago, but still: Battlefront is a hardware hog. The visuals and audio of the shooter are really great! Even on current-gen consoles like the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, Battlefront makes a solid impression.
When you compare this to the title image…
But could the game stand on its own without all the visuals and great sound? With a lot of charm and intelligence, the creators from Curse have come up with a trailer for a 16-bit version of Battlefront. And they depicted the survival missions on Tatooine a bit differently. Great idea, we think! What do you think?

Today we want to know how you see yourselves: Are you cozy casuals or ruthless hardcore gamers?
Gaming: Between 2 and 20 Hours a Day
We have gone through another week and are quickly approaching the weekend. And, as usual, some of you will surely venture into the ominous worlds of these “MMOs” – maybe you have heard of them.
However, although we all share the same hobby, the types of gamers are very different. While some of us only play a cozy hour in the afternoon and then spend the evening at parties, with family, or in front of the TV, others invest double-digit hours a day in their games. To find out what you are – and also to reflect a little on yourselves – we are asking you this time: Are you Casual or Hardcore?
A cozy round in the evening? Or would you rather train all night?
Cortyn says: Even though I sometimes wish it were different, I probably haven’t been a hardcore gamer for a while now. I could mention the typical (and therefore no less important!) reasons like family or work, but that would be a lie. After all, gaming is a prerequisite for my job, which at least makes that reason moot.
No, my reason is different: For me, “hardcore” still has the ring of something elite – the top 2% of gamers who achieve a special performance. Whether it’s due to gaming skills or sheer time they invest in their games – most of the time it’s a combination of both.
“Hardcore” Cortyn only plays roleplay anymore. For everything else, someone would be too old… so the rumor goes.
However, neither in World of Warcraft nor in Hearthstone or Heroes of the Storm do I spend as much time in a row that I could still justify my own hardcore status. Especially since my motivation is also low to want to experience the hardest content anymore. That was back in the glorious vanilla times, when everything was better and there were no bugs and… – I digress.
The only area where I am still really ‘hardcore’ is probably roleplay, because on weekends I like to invest 12 hours a day into it and am only satisfied when a keyboard has given up the ghost (much to the chagrin of Schuhmann, the old Casual).
But let’s get to you: How many hours do you still spend daily in MMOs? And what do you do there? More of a little “chilling” or mercilessly storming the 2% elite? Are you Casual or Hardcore?

And that’s not all. Further developments are anticipated. Players can be excited about what awaits them in the coming days and weeks. And that is more than could often be said about last year.
Currently still a mystery: When will the other half of the exotic armor pieces be introduced in the game, which are already available in the database? Without them, the selection of exotic armors is still limited at the moment. Only a small amount can drop from various engrams. Xur also has a limited selection available to stock his inventory of Year 2 armor pieces.
When does Xur arrive in Destiny and when does he leave?
Xur will arrive on Friday, October 9th, at 11:00 AM in the Tower or the Reef in Destiny. He will leave again on Sunday, October 11th, also at 11:00 AM.
Where is Xur this time? What is his location?
Xur is located with the Vanguard merchants.

What do the numbers in parentheses mean for armor pieces?
The numbers represent the current values of that particular armor piece for this week. They can vary between certain parameters. The rule is: The higher, the better.
What is Xur selling this week?
Xur is selling NO weapon this week, but a helmet engram – it costs 19 strange coins.
For Titans, he has the helmet “One-Eyed Mask” (36/51 INT; 31/46 STR). All armor pieces cost 13 strange coins.
For Hunters, the helmet “Shinobu’s Vow.” (34/49 INT, 35/50 DIS).
For Warlocks, the gloves “Ahamkara’s Bones.” (50/63 STR).
The Year 1 Legacy engram is a heavy weapon engram. It drops Year 1 items with Year 1 stats.
From the gloves in the engram, there are new Year 2 gloves as follows:
In Skyforge the Pantheons, the guilds, face a challenge with Distortions.
As a normal immortal, one can look enviously at all that the Allods team is coming up with for the endgame , as one is excluded from it. First, over 30,000 Prestige needs to be reached to unlock the God form. Then a well-equipped guild is needed: this is also a piece of work for diligent gamers before the endgame opens up. But enough whining.

This week, Skyforge presents a kind of mini-guild raid with the “Distortions.” The Distortions are basically dimensional pockets where enemies from Aelion have been trapped. Now the bravest heroes are opening these dimensional pockets and entering them to eliminate the prisoners, further develop their Pantheon, and scoop up exciting loot.
How do you like Skyforge in these regions? Are gods present?

The developers of Heroes of the Storm still have a long list ahead: More than 200 characters are available to choose from.
No end in sight
Currently, Blizzard tries to release a new hero in Heroes of the Storm approximately every 3 weeks. However, since this is not working poorly, they are currently still looking for additions to the team. An interview by Red Bull with Senior Game Designer Matthew Cooper revealed that ideas for new heroes will not run out anytime soon: Over 200 characters are still on the list that Blizzard could integrate into HotS sooner or later.“We will hardly work through this list anytime soon”, Cooper stated.
Even though the frequency of new releases is supposed to increase, they want to stay true to the Blizzard line by questioning the rules: “We quite like to break the rules”, he says, referring to unusual heroes like Abathur or the Lost Vikings.
Especially the Infernal Shrines were difficult to balance. They were adjusted again just a few days ago.
Balancing is the biggest hurdle
Especially in balancing, the developer still sees some problems. Here, the differences between casual players (“Casuals” – of course, none of you reading this!) and professionals are an issue. A recent example is Zeratul, who is nearly perfectly balanced for the masses, but significantly too strong at eSports level.
The battlegrounds have also become a small concern. Although Heroes of the Storm is still quite new, there is already a high number of different scenarios, and here too, the playstyles differ greatly between beginners and professionals. They might want to introduce rotations in the future to temporarily exclude certain battlegrounds and see how this impacts the meta of HotS.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , things will be changing next week with patch 2.01: Shotguns will be weakened, a cash shop, and Iron Banner will come into play.
Bungie knows you are disappointed with the search for the Sleeper
In this week’s Weekly Update from Bungie, it was mentioned, among other things, to tell players: We are aware of what is going on with you. Bungie has taken note that the search for the Sleeper Simulant raised greater expectations than it ultimately fulfilled. It implies that they were surprised by the players’ reactions and the intensity of their search, but also did not want to spoil things in advance.
They say they have learned from all of this. On one hand, they want to keep secrets better in the future, and on the other hand, they want to be more transparent about the availability of quests. The background: The Destiny community was desperately searching for ways to get an exotic weapon that Bungie had introduced before the expansion The Taken King.
However, that weapon was not available. The search that led to the Sleeper Simulant was simply hidden behind a time lock, which was only activated this week.
More surprises announced
Bungie also announces more “surprises” that will come in the next weeks. After the quest line The Taken War, Black Spindle, and the raid, Iron Banner will come next week along with other surprises.
One surprise is revealed upfront: In general, they are quite satisfied with the weapon balance changes that came with 2.0. Only shotguns are too strong.
Therefore, they will remove the “Sardine Can” feature from shotguns. This caused less spread. As a result, too many bullets hit the target, especially for players who use shotguns for long and medium range.
Sardine Can will no longer be available on shotguns in the future. Shotguns that have the Sardine Can will instead receive a replacement perk (Narrow and/or personal; Crowd Control or Knee Pads) and that will be it. Game tests found that this should not have a negative impact on PvE.
Those who want to play with the shotgun are advised by Bungie to go into close combat.
In just a few hours, Xur, the Agent of the Nine, will be in the Tower or Reef. We will receive Xur on Friday, October 9th, and report on his inventory.

Next week there are major changes coming to Cabal 2: The level cap will be increased and 3 new instances await brave explorers!
Plenty of Frost and Death
ESTsoft has announced that next week Cabal 2 will receive plenty of fresh content again. The patch Ruins of the Gods is expected to be the largest content expansion the game has seen so far. Indeed, its scope is not to be outdone by other MMOs: The level cap will be raised from 40 to 45 and a completely new zone will open its gates.

But even outside the solo content, the patch has something to offer: Three new instances will be made accessible. The Silent Snowfield can already be entered at level 43, while the Ancient Academy only becomes available at level 45. Both must first be completed to ultimately gain entry to the Tomb of Kain. According to the developers, these instances are the “hardest created for Cabal 2 so far.”
The patch “Ruins of the Gods” is scheduled to be released on October 14.

For founders, Armored Warfare has been running for a week. Obsidian has evaluated the data and found: In the “higher tier” area, when players are using heavy tanks, it becomes slow to advance.
The ammunition and repair costs consume the revenues. Therefore, it has already been announced that rewards in PvE and PvP will be significantly increased and costs decreased.
If you are using a “premium” tank (which is available outside of normal progression for real money), the revenues are also expected to increase further. Those who want to take a look at the F2P game can register on the official website of Armored Warfare.

The Black Spindle deals solar damage and has the following two perks:
White Nail – With three consecutive precision hits, your reserve magazine is refilled.
Mulligan – Missed shots have a chance to return the ammunition directly to the magazine. With “White Nail”, you can just stay on the weak spot with stationary targets (certain bosses or tanks, for example) and fire the magazine empty without reloading. Mulligan only triggers occasionally and increases the fault tolerance of the weapon.
What is special about the Spindle: It is available with a 310 attack value right after completion!
Is the Black Spindle like Black Hammer in year 1 of Destiny?
The Black Hammer from year 1 could do just that, but even more. Because with it, you could fire indefinitely, the bullets were not taken from the reserve magazine, but regenerated (like with Icebreaker, only much faster). The times of the Black Hammer are gone forever, the entire perk “White Nail” has been nerfed.
However, the Black Spindle is still an excellent choice for dealing maximum damage against “stationary enemies” if players can string together these precision hits.

Yes, the Black Spindle is very good in PvE in the constellations when you can play more or less stationary. Whenever precision hits are guaranteed and you can save yourself the reload, “a damage loss”, the weapon shines.
Thanks to these situations, the Black Spindle is considered an excellent exotic weapon in Destiny, which is definitely worth the exotic slot, especially when solar damage is required. Even if there is strong competition among the legendary weapons.
Webzen wants to return to the roots of the genre with the upcoming MMORPG Asta and has now released an initial trailer for the game.
MMORPGs are continually evolving – but for many fans, often in a direction they do not like. According to many gamers, the genre is supposedly too oriented towards the mass market now. Everything has become too easy, and complexity is lacking. Webzen apparently wants to change this and promises a return to player experiences reminiscent of earlier times in the genre with the MMORPG Asta. This includes customizable attributes and skill trees.
There will be two factions made up of different races. Players will join one faction and create their heroes from the associated races and multiple classes. With this champion, players will explore a fantasy world influenced by Asian myths. A dungeon & raid finder for cooperative multiplayer, PvP battlegrounds, arenas, and guild wars, a divine spirit and gem system, a profound crafting system, and the CryEngine 3 are also expected to distinguish Asta.
The Asian World of Warcraft
Fans even refer to Asta as “the Asian version of World of Warcraft“, as the game is said to have great similarities to the Vanilla version of WoW. The new trailer gives a first glimpse of what to expect. Asta aims to appeal to both newcomers and veterans. There will be solo content as well as group content. Publisher Webzen also announces that it is now possible to register for the Closed Beta of the MMORPG via the official Asta website. However, when this will start has not yet been determined. So if you want to see if there is really something to the claim that Asta is the “Asian version of WoW”, then sign up for the Closed Beta and find out.

Two days ago, a new Far Cry was presented, which rides on the current prehistoric dinosaur hype.
Big Mammoths, Small Conflicts
At the latest since Jurassic World and ARK: Survival Evolved, the zombie hype has subsided a bit and has been replaced by dinosaurs and everything prehistoric. Because who needs futuristic cities when the apocalypse can wonderfully be played out 12,000 years earlier? So or something similar must have been the thinking of the creators of the latest Far Cry. It bears the promising name “Primal” and takes players back to a time when humans still fought with mammoths and different tribes tore each other apart for entering their territory.

In the game, you take on the role of Takkar, the last survivor of his tribe, who finds himself – unfortunately – in hostile territory. Because hunting alone is quite exhausting and a game without power gain is boring, the poor man must set out to gradually establish his own tribe. Territorial battles have been important components in previous installments and are likely to be on the agenda in Primal as well. The same goes for crafting weapons – however, here it will more likely be spears rather than pistols. Interesting: It is rumored that animals can be tamed as companions.
In previous Far Cry games, experiments with multiplayer modes have already been conducted, and at least the trailer gives hope that friends can also participate in the mammoth and saber-toothed tiger hunt.
It is definitely exciting to observe that seemingly small games like ARK: Survival Evolved have such a significant influence on top titles – or the very similar theme is just a coincidence. That can happen.

SWTOR makes extensive changes to crafting professions – find out what is changing and whether professions are worth it again here.
More overview, more benefits
With Knights of the Fallen Empire, BioWare seizes the opportunity to thoroughly revise the crafting system of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Many players criticized that over the years numerous recipes had accumulated that hardly served any purpose, just cluttering the menus and hindering the search for truly useful items.
The first step in this is the elimination of the respective crafting ranks. The maximum level will still be 500, but newcomers will no longer have to visit a teacher every 50 points to unlock the next level – they can level directly from 1 to 500. Recipes will still likely be purchasable from the respective teacher.
So far very unclear: Crafting will become more understandable.
The second step is to increase usefulness. Professions are expected to serve, unlike before, as a primary source of equipment and give players the ability to craft suitable armor themselves – this was hardly feasible for newcomers without large credit reserves. Therefore, all craftable items will be of at least blue quality. As a special bonus, each piece of armor is also adaptive!
Abolition of endless items and old resources
Another change is the abolition of endless consumables (which is a paradox anyway), such as cybertech grenades and stimpacks. This is intended to create a new market and restore relevance to the associated professions.
Players will also have to say goodbye to a variety of resources that will be phased out as part of the new system. Over 50 different materials will be removed from the game to streamline the process.
Collecting progress and endgame
Even the companions will become a bit quicker and can carry out the collection missions of the various professions faster, they are often only on the way for a few minutes. But that’s not the end of it: Instead of having to choose from a random list of crafting missions, all unlocked missions will now always be available, allowing for a more targeted search for desired resources.
The best gear will be equivalent to the operations gear.
Adjustments have also been made for the endgame: Crafters will gain access to new recipes, allowing them to craft armor that is equivalent to gear from the story mode of operations. However, a necessary component will only be available through personal conquest objectives – thus, an additional incentive has been created to participate in the conquest of planets.
For more information on the changes coming with Knights of the Fallen Empire, visit our SWTOR theme page.

In the upcoming online shooter Star Wars Battlefront , the times for the open beta are now known.
In Germany, it is set to start in the afternoon of October 8th at 3:30 PM. The open beta for Star Wars Battlefront will begin at least for PC, if we can trust Origin.
For the download of Star Wars Battlefront via the PS Store or Xbox One, there are rumors about the timing being around this time. It is expected to be around 4:00 PM. EA’s information policy here is somewhat … nebulous. Different start times have been scheduled for the regions, independent of the time difference: In North America, it is rumored to start at 7:00 PM our time, while in our region it will likely start a few hours earlier. Further east on the globe, it is rumored to already be playable.
PC players can start a pre-download via Origin, if their systems can handle it at all. The system requirements are quite demanding. Playstation4 and XboxOne players do not have to worry about system requirements. However, there is no possibility to download the massive game (8GB console, 11 GB PC) in advance for them. At least not without a residence in Australia …
In the beta, there will be three different mission types. Players can play the XXL mode “Walker Assault on Hoth”. This mode is generally praised and recommended as the mode that best captures the “Star Wars” feeling.
Initial reports depict the image of a casual shooter
The first tests and impressions depict the image of a shooter that does not target experienced players, who it wants to engage with complex game mechanics and a progress system for years. Rather, Star Wars Battlefront seems more aimed at casuals, occasional players, or genre newcomers who want to feel like they are in a Star Wars movie. Certainly a legitimate approach.
The mechanics and gameplay are described as rather simple. However, they have captured the Star Wars feeling well.
In a few hours, we can all try it ourselves.

Some video games are so extraordinary that they even get featured in TV shows that have little to do with games. In Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, for instance, the upcoming space game No Man’s Sky was shown.
No Man’s Sky is an indie MMO that has gained attention due to its size and possibilities. Players assume the role of a spaceship pilot and can explore an entire universe. This universe is said to be so vast that it would take five billion years in real time to explore every single solar system. Therefore, one will never see the entirety of the game universe. The ability to land on any planet and explore it on foot is also something that excites gamers.

In Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, Sean Murray from Hello Games showcased the MMO and guided through a new solar system. Stephen Colbert could not resist naming it the Colbert system and also gave names to the creatures wandering on a planet. These include Colbison, Molebear, Stephenus Rex, Codbert, and Colbertasaurus. Using a device that looks like a gun, one can assign a name to each unnamed creature, which other players will then see if they happen to land on that planet. For this naming process, players receive in-game currency.
Sean Murray also explained that at Hello Games they had to create a new periodic table where “Oxycen” appears instead of “Oxygen,” though the reason for this was not given. Additionally, spaceships will heat up when entering a planet’s atmosphere. It will also be possible to dive underwater.
No Man’s Sky is played from a first-person perspective, and players will never see their avatar. Only other players can see what you look like. However, due to the vastness of the game universe, it is very rare to encounter other players. No Man’s Sky will be released for both PlayStation 4 and PC. So far, a release date has not been announced.

In Guild Wars 2 können sich PvP-Spieler auf neue Belohnungen freuen – darunter ansehnliches Todesstöße und Minaturen der Nebel-Champions!
Even a small hero can make a big difference
Die erste Erweiterung für Guild Wars 2 steht mehr oder minder in den Startlöchern. Die Entwickler arbeiten fleißig daran, noch so viele Informationen wir nur eben möglich schon vorab bereitzustellen, damit der Start in Heart of Thorns besonders leicht fällt. Gleichzeitig versucht man die Spieler bei der Stange zu halten und schon ein bisschen mit den kommenden Belohnungen “anzufixen” – denn Vorfreude ist doch die schönste Freude, nicht wahr?
Eine Form der Belohnung kann durch den Belohnungspfad der Champions der Nebel errungen werden. Sobald der “gewöhnliche” Pfad abgeschlossen wurde, schalten die Spieler einen zweiten frei. Gelingt es ihnen, auch diesen bis zum Ende zu bestreiten, winkt eine Miniatur des jeweiligen Champions. Denn wer würde nicht gerne eine kleine Nika oder Turai Ossa im Schlepptau haben?
Hinrichten wird bald noch spektakulärer.
Draconic Finishing Blows
Wer gerne seine Feinde mit Stil hinrichtet, wenn sie bereits verwundet am Boden liegen (und Euch mit Steinchen beschmeißen), der kann sich auf die neuen Todesstöße freuen. Auch für das Rangsystem wurden neue Belohnungspfade implementiert, die sich an eurem eigentlichen Rang orientieren. Während zu Beginn von Heart of Thorns alle Spieler mit dem wenig bedrohlich klingenden Jungle Bunny Reward Path beginnen, schaltet Ihr nach und nach immer neue Pfade frei, bis ihr letztlich beim Dragon angekommen seid – dem höchsten und letzten Belohnungspfad.
Und ein kleines Schmankerl noch zum Schluss: Über die oben erwähnten Belohnungspfade können sogar einige Keys for Black Lion Chests verdient werden!
Mehr Infos zu Heart of Thorns und den anstehenden Änderungen findet Ihr auf unserer Guild Wars 2-Themenseite.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the hunt for the Sleeper Simulant continues today. This heavy fusion rifle can be found starting today.
Players are still searching for the heavy fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant. Just yesterday, it was thought the hunt was paused, but today, Thursday, October 8th, a new mission has appeared. Is the hunt coming to an end?
Just yesterday, there was a new set of steps for players who had found 4 fusion relics. The mission “The First Firewall” had to be completed, then four codes had to be entered at the Strange Transmitter, followed by solving 5 tasks. The IKELOS fusion core could be handed in to the weapon master of Destiny at the end of all that. In the end, however, the disappointment: nothing happened! Banshee-44 was silent.
At today’s reset at 11:00 AM, the surprise: there is a new quest from Banshee-44. And it practically screams: Sleeper Simulant!
“The Sleeper stirs” sends players into a 280 special version of the SABER Strike.
We will keep you updated, Guardians.
Update: So, it seems that you simply get Sleeper Simulant after handing in the strike. The weapon is in the game with a power level of 290. The SABER Strike has an epic modifier but seems to not be a big problem.
It seems that there has to be a day between the end of yesterday’s quest and the start of today’s quest. At least that’s the first reports from players.
So here’s a summary:
How to get the exotic fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant in Destiny
Step 3: After handing in the fusion core, wait a day until the next daily reset.
Step 4: Accept the quest “The Sleeper stirs” from Banshee-44, then complete the Saber Strike in the special mission.
Step 5: Profit. The exotic fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant.
Source of the image: Facebook user Max Reichert.
The hunt is over. There was no call needed at Banshee-44, and there were no big secrets to discover. The crucial step yesterday was simply behind a time lock and opened up, followed by another time lock with the “1 day wait.” Fewer secrets than initially suspected.

This is what it looks like in TESO when a dolmen becomes active:

So far, no one has succeeded, as the players have always had a say.

With ELOA: Elite Lord of Alliance, the Korean development studio Npicsoft is working together with publisher Webzen on a new MMORPG aimed primarily at hack-and-slash fans.
On October 13, the beta of the new online game will start. It is already possible to sign up for this beta test on the official website. The client can also be downloaded already. The game is played from an isometric perspective, which somewhat resembles Diablo. The gameplay is also inspired by it. Together with your friends, you will fight online through hordes of monsters in a fantasy world.
You will assemble your heroes from five classes and four races. Each class can access three combat stances. These are very important for battles, as you need to switch tactically between them to defeat opponents. In addition to quests and raids, PvP battles are also on the agenda. The story revolves around the Titan War Invasion on the fantasy continent of Epheia. You have been reborn as an “Elite Lord” who possesses special powers to help your party achieve victory in this conflict.
Twice the same game?
ELOA has already sparked some discussions, as another game studio released a game that looks strikingly similar to ELOA. ESTA Games launched the game Inspirit Online, which, according to Npicsoft, represents an old version of ELOA. According to Npicsoft, ESTA Games simply used an old beta client of ELOA and is now distributing it as their own game. However, ELOA now offers significantly more content and an improved player experience. Inspirit Online is said to be operated illegally. Whether and how to take action against this is currently still unclear.
