In World of Warcraft, every villain wants to conquer the world. The fan-made music video skillfully showcases all the cinematics.
Everyone only wants one thing
Over the years, every adversary in World of Warcraft has had their turn to reach for power. Some had very brief appearances, while others got several chances (Yes, I’m looking at you, Kael’thas!) to make the world or at least a continent of Azeroth their subject. So far, no one has succeeded, as the players have always had a say.
The YouTuber Hamuu Gaming has edited together a series of WoW cinematics and set it to the song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Lorde. You can see the impressive effect it creates here:

Even at the risk of being accused of excessive WoW affection in the comments, this video truly gave me goosebumps. The visuals fit wonderfully well with the text, and I rode a nostalgia wave from start to finish.

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.

If you want to take a look at the hack-and-slash MMORPG ELOA yourself, then sign up for the beta starting on October 13. There will be a wipe at the end of it. So if you like the game, you will have to start over later.

Game within a game: A clever gamer builds Pacman in ARK and lets the dinosaurs compete against each other.
The ghosts always win!
In ARK: Survival Evolved, players can not only indulge their urge to collect larger and larger dinosaurs and establish entire tribes, but also let their creativity run wild. The YouTuber Mitt Gaming has used his resources to recreate the famous Pacman game board. Instead of the usual ghosts, Mitt uses Raptors and placed them in the center of the game board. Now all that’s left is to let a more or less willing animal into the arena. You should check it out:

Whether giant snakes or gigantic frogs, the difficulty level seems to be a bit too high for soulless NPC animals. To be precise, the matches were not really under a very fair light, as the participants had no food to consume on their way through the maze…
Mobile base, ready for action!
That ARK does not shy away from some absurdities is also shown by a new trailer that introduces the flying dinosaur Quetzalcoatlus. Since flying alone is no longer enough, this creature can now be expanded into a mobile base.

The action MMO Marvel Heroes has expanded its hero catalog with Kitty Pride and Sunspot.
In Marvel Heroes, you have over 50 heroes. The great Avengers, Fantastic Four, and other super superheroes have been in the game for a long time. Now, new characters are being introduced that one might have to look up if they are not a comic enthusiast.
Recently, War Machine, a side character from the Iron Man movies was featured. Last week, a young X-Men character, “Kitty Pride,” was introduced. Admittedly, she has been young for over 20 years but has long played the role of a teenager in the mythology.
Kitty is skilled in Ninjutsu, can phase into solid objects or through them thanks to her mutant powers, and has even more power with her pet dragon, Lockheed.
As a “team-up,” a sort of companion, Sunspot, a rather obscure hero, joins. The Brazilian “hothead” used to be with the New Mutants, a kind of “junior team of the X-Men.” In the German translation, the poor Sunspot still bears the name of Spider-Woman in the team-up menu, who is also not exactly a top-choice heroine.
Here is the new trailer for Kitty Pride in Marvel Heroes 2015:

Analyst Doug Creutz from Cowen&Company sees this as a potentially huge source of revenue. Gamespot quotes Creutz saying: “Although the initial offering looks modest, we believe that with the passionate fan base, microtransactions could generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually.”
Creutz assumes that Bungie will only bring cosmetic items to the cash shop. Nothing that truly impacts the game. Creutz trusts Activision and Bungie to handle the cash shop wisely. Not to offer items that give players an advantage. That would upset others.

The Cards Chaos mode in Hearthstone allows for a lot of planning and tactical depth, as a suitable card is always drawn …
Always Something to Play
Hearthstone impressively returned right at 5 PM with a new Cards Chaos. In the mode Curated Hand, you can create your own deck and choose from all the cards you have already collected. The specialty reveals itself during the game: In each round, you draw a card whose cost exactly corresponds to the round number! In the first turn, a card for 1 mana is available, in the second for 2 mana, and so on. The prerequisite for this is, of course, that you have also included corresponding cards with the respective mana costs in your deck beforehand.
Turn 2 grants a 2-mana card. So there is always something suitable in hand!
Don’t forget that you can again snag a free classic card pack by earning at least one victory in this mode. The obtained cards can typically be converted into Arcane Dust to then serve as material for creating specific desired cards. Thus, a game is just as worthwhile for veterans as it is for newcomers.

Since last night, the latest patch for Heroes of the Storm is available. It brought not only Lt. Morales but also adjustments to the Infernal Shrines.
Name the type of medical emergency
The maintenance work today delivered the latest patch for Heroes of the Storm. In addition to the Medic Lt. Morales, many new skins and mounts are waiting for the players. Furthermore, balancing adjustments have been made to many warriors and supporters, so especially Tyrande and Tassadar can now achieve better results and a noticeably higher defensive performance. Early deaths should also be avoided, as the respawn times on the lower game levels have been increased.

A number of changes have been made to the map Infernal Shrines, as it was particularly difficult for teams to recover from small setbacks. It is still possible to summon Punishers through the eponymous shrines, but the number of Skeletons to be destroyed has been increased from 30 to 40. However, that’s not all: the small skeletal minions no longer suffer increased damage from abilities that deal increased damage to minions. This means that especially heroes like Leoric will take longer to activate a shrine solo.
The Punishers are now somewhat more lenient.
Also, the Punishers themselves will be weakened: They have 10% fewer HP by default and scale less with increasing level by the same amount. Additionally, they will no longer randomly jump to opposing heroes but only to the nearest one. This allows for more tactics and counterplay options and should take some of the fear away from the Punishers.
The undisputed best change is the introduction of visible load bars for all players: Now everyone can easily find out who is still operating their computer with charcoal or has deprived their hamster of its lunch.
In Blade&Soul this week is completely dedicated to the Summoner and their feline friend. Because the Summoner is the only pet class in the game, making it a great choice for solo players.
A Furry Team
Although it will be several months before Blade&Soul is released here, the developers are already making a great effort to hype up anticipation among fans. On a new page, the Summoner has been introduced in detail to give fans an impression of their playstyle and abilities.

First, it should be noted that only the Lyn can become Summoners because they have a particularly close bond with nature and thus meet the only requirement to bind a companion for life. The companion is, after all, the unique aspect of the class: Only the Summoner fights as a duo, making them the only “pet class” in the game. For many players, this may be the right choice, as Summoners can accomplish many tasks solo that other heroes would have no chance at.
Such strength, however, also comes with some deficits: When on their own, the Summoner is weak and particularly vulnerable in PvP, as players can simply ignore the familiar. To avoid falling down at the first unfavorable glance, the class has some defensive abilities that allow them to become briefly invisible, for example. Also worth mentioning is the large repertoire of control abilities that ensure the companion can deal significant damage and that enemies cannot reach the Summoner themselves.
Only the Summoners can heal the group – an important advantage in many dungeons.
But that’s not where the unique features end: The Summoners are the only class in the game that has active group healing, making them a must-have for almost any successful group, not least because they can occupy enemies with their cat while the other players beat up the boss.

The Free2Play MMO Age of Conan deals with Tier 6 equipment, raid searching, and Halloween.
At Funcom games, developer updates are released at the beginning of each month, broadly outlining what will happen this month and what took place last month. For October, they promise that they have revamped the Halloween events. Players should keep an eye out for free game content in the districts of Tarantia.
Also on the agenda: design of the Tier 6 armor. The set bonuses for T5 were too strong. As a result, there were difficulties in finding T6 bonuses that surpassed them. Therefore, the set bonuses of T5 will be transferred to rune items. For Tier 6, they will choose set bonuses that PvE raiders notice clearly, but other game content will not be significantly affected.
Additionally, they want to improve the raid finder so that casual players can also hunt in adapted versions of Thoth-Aman’s fortress and the Jade cell. It is still unknown whether players will receive “slightly weakened” versions of the normal raid items as loot or tokens.
There are also changes in the raids themselves: In the Palace of Cetriss, the final encounter, Ethram-Fal, will soon go live on the test server.
Turbulent times for the racing MMO The Crew. The beta for the expansion “Wild Run” now has a date. The development studio Ivory Tower has been acquired by Ubisoft.

The week is slowly reaching its peak, and it’s time to get a little upset about the absurdities of the internet again. This week, a planned app made a lot of headlines that spread through all media: Peeple. Because what could be better than giving people a rating so that everyone knows how “good” or “bad” they actually are?
Top Notes on the Internet
As a feminist-leftist good person, I inherently have something against rating systems that want to categorize people based on their qualities. While I appreciate such systems for services or products in some cases, there is indeed a limit for me when it comes to private individuals. Peeple, however, consciously wants to cross these boundaries and ensure that everyone can rate everyone else, for example in categories like Professional, Personal, and Romantic.
Cortyn only cooks vegan food? 1 out of 5 stars in Personal.
Schuhmann is complaining about words like “naturally” again? 2/5 stars in Professional.
Dawid is bringing in the seventeenth intern? 4/5 in Romantic.
Finally be able to rate every person. A good pressure point for my salary demands when I think about it…
One might think: Well, whoever signs up for this is to blame themselves. But unfortunately, that’s not the case. The first drafts proposed that anyone could enter anyone else into the app as long as they have their phone number. This, of course, conflicts with several laws – but hey, just planning it, everything will be fine. The two developers initially showed no insight: “If someone always lies or is late, then everyone should know that. Because character is ultimately your fate.”By the way, one should not be able to delete negative contributions in the original version – because that would render the app useless.
The stuff they have, I would like to take as well.
Just a Joke?
But maybe Peeple isn’t as terrible as media reports might suggest. By now, many points indicate that the app might just be a joke. On the one hand, there was a very similar system in the comedy series “Community” in one episode that plunged the world into complete chaos – there, too, people could rate each other with 1-5 stars. Many messages from Peeple, including their YouTube videos, have since been deleted. The list of contradictory statements is long – yet the two developers do not deviate from their plans.
Peeple – a guarantee for depression?
If it really is a joke, the developers have long missed the best time to reveal it as such. They have already rowed back way too often and weakened the plans for Peeple. By now, no one is supposed to be inducted into the service without explicit consent, and negative ratings are completely excluded. Peeple is supposed to be a platform of positivity. Or to put it with a good vulgar German expression: To hell with the wood fairy.
What do you think about the whole thing? Is the app a good idea and the next logical step or complete nonsense? Or is it just a prank to hold up a mirror to how much we are already allowing ourselves and willingly revealing?

Destiny Strange Receiver Code – The MMO shooter Destiny surprisingly went live with a new mission today on October 7th. Could it be the key to the coveted exotic weapon Sleeper Simulant? There are codes for the strange receiver.
Since today at 11:00 AM, at the daily reset, reports have increased that a new quest has appeared in Destiny: “The First Firewall”.
Apparently, the item Strange Receiver requires a 9-digit 2-bit code (either top or bottom).
We will keep you updated on the search for the Sleeper Simulant, Guardians!
If you want to figure out the codes and the search yourself, do not read further from here:
Destiny: Strange Receiver Code
Update and Spoiler:
The first code is said to be 1-2-1-1-2-2-2-1-2. (1= top, 2= bottom).
Then a second code should be entered. It is: 1-2-1-1-2-2-1-1.
The third code has 10 digits. The solution is: 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 1
The fourth code is: 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 1
Once the four codes are entered, a new quest line begins. Here, one has to complete various tasks to charge an IKELOS fusion core.
One of the tasks is completed by dismantling a legendary or exotic heavy weapon.
Completing the mission “The Archive” activates the third module. The difficulty level is probably irrelevant for this.
For the next three steps, a public WARSAT EVENT must be completed on Mars, Earth, and the Moon. For each planet, one activates another module.
Once all 5 steps are fulfilled, the quest continues to Banshee and … that is the end of the road for now. At this point, the quest in Destiny ends. There are no rewards. No “Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.”
Perhaps one must wait until the next step comes. As we noticed today, this can come quite unexpectedly. These are crazy times, these first weeks of Destiny in year 2.

The upcoming online action game Star Wars: Battlefront looks absolutely amazing! But what kind of PC do you need to enjoy this graphical splendor? The official system requirements will tell you.
Star Wars: Battlefront is based on the latest version of Dice’s Frostbite engine. This engine delivers fantastic graphics, but it has also shown in games like Battlefield 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition that you need a pretty decent PC for the good looks. And so it is with the system requirements for Star Wars: Battlefront.
DirectX: 11.1 compatible graphics card or comparable
Internet Connection: 512 KB/s or faster
So if you want to intervene in the war of the rebels against the empire with maximum details, you need a pretty good PC: Especially the 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970 might not be in everyone’s computer. However, it has also been shown that games with the Frostbite engine look very good even on medium and even minimal details. So you probably don’t have to set everything to maximum for Star Wars: Battlefront to enjoy a good-looking Star Wars multiplayer experience.

The next patch is going to shake SWTOR up: Many quests will be disabled by default for newcomers.
Only the essentials are included
With the expansion Knights of the Fallen Empire, BioWare aims to breathe new life into some old systems of Star Wars: The Old Republic. This affects not only the contents of the expansion but also all quests that already exist in the game. Thanks to the controversial level synchronization feature, these quests will not only remain somewhat challenging at every level but will also be displayed more comfortably.
All important missions (i.e., class story and planet story) will be listed under the so-called “main path”. This will be displayed separately in the quest log and is particularly relevant to the story according to the developers. All other side quests will be categorized as “exploration missions” and are disabled by default. However, those who wish can reactivate them in the menu.
BioWare now specifies what is included in the relevant story of the game.
Hero missions require fewer heroes than before
Another change concerns the hero missions. Many of them (for example on Makeb) are designed for 4 players. The difficulty will be reduced in almost all cases, making this content accessible to smaller groups – often it seems players are exploring in pairs.
Unlike before, planets no longer need to be searched for the quest givers of these missions; they will now conveniently wait at the respective world’s spaceport.
There is also talk of new, exclusive rewards for the hero missions, so there will be incentives to return to old worlds later on.

Recently, developer CCP Games announced that they will tackle a new update structure for the space sandbox MMO EVE Online. Now it is clear what updates fans can expect until spring 2016.
On one hand, there will be fewer large expansions, which will have a really massive and coherent scope; on the other hand, they do not want to forgo smaller updates at shorter intervals. Fans can already look forward to new destroyers, additional business graphics, graphic updates as well as gameplay and balancing revisions based on player feedback. Additionally, quality of life improvements are set to be made, and a linkage of EVE gameplay with real research results will be introduced.
Furthermore, the massive upgrade of one of the most powerful server clusters in the gaming world and mysterious PvE expansions related to the Drifters have been mentioned. Not to forget the mysterious event “The Crimson Harvest” that takes place later this month. In November, the Parallax update will follow:
Changes to the sovereignty mechanics have already been announced: regeneration of the Sov structures and the ability to destroy them oneself as well as reducing the maximum possible jump fatigue to 5 days. All this will come with the Parallax release on November 3.
With Parallax, a fundamental technical improvement will also be introduced, a completely rewritten attribute system. This improvement directly affects server performance, especially during jumps between systems, but also opens up numerous new possibilities for introducing new weapons and modules. This “Brain in a Box” feature has been in development for a long time and is a clear investment in the future of EVE.
Fans of the space MMO EVE Online have a lot to look forward to in the remaining months of this year and early 2016. Details about the updates can be viewed on the official website, and more information will follow soon.

In League of Legends (LoL) the release of the new hero Kindred has been postponed.
As Riot states, there are difficulties with the new hero Kindred .. A major problem has been identified that is particularly related to Kindred. To avoid jeopardizing the integrity of the game, Kindred will therefore be released with the next patch. This is considered the better alternative than rushing a fix now.
At Riot, they hope that the ongoing “Worlds” can maintain the hype.
Who is Kindred and what can the Eternal Hunters do?
In this spotlight, Kindred is presented in detail once again in German. This finally reveals its lore. Kindred is death, which dying people see in their last seconds. The Lamb grants mercy to anyone who accepts their death; the Wolf relentlessly hunts those who flee from death:

The latest trailer for Tera does feature pretty women, but this time the focus is on the muscular men.
Break it down.
TERA is actually known for its pretty women, who have surely lured in a few players into the free-to-play game. The fact that EnMasse can also turn the tables and skillfully showcase toned male bodies (more or less) is proven by the latest trailer. The short video promotes the “Inner Armor” – basically underwear that enhances certain attributes – and shows the gentlemen of creation from the naked side that the game allows.

It is definitely nice to see that the developers also throw a little “eye candy” for the female gender, although some players do seem visibly confused by this trailer. The best comment is probably “Is that the new dungeon?”

The mission leads to the first raid, in The Glass Vault. Players believed weeks ago that some hint regarding the exotic weapon “No Time to Explain” or even the “Sleeper Simulant” might be hidden here.
However, this time, there is no great exotic waiting for players, but there are dead ghosts, Grimoire cards, and a special ghost shell that can be exchanged for some reputation with the Future War Cult.
To reach the hidden conclusion part of the mission where the reward is given, a significant time investment is required. Players must find 3 dead ghosts in this order, which are also hidden. Here is the first:

The RIFT patch “Gateway to Wilderness” will be deployed to the live servers tomorrow, on October 7th, bringing a lot of new features.
Primalist, new dungeon and warfront
For a long time, the fans of Rift had to wait for the highly anticipated update, but soon it will be here: Patch 3.4 “Gateway to Wilderness” will be deployed to the live servers tomorrow, on October 7th and will be available to all players. For the first time since the release of the game, there is a completely new calling, the Primalist. The playstyle differs greatly from the other classes, as players must constantly maintain a balance between finesse and frenzy – the two resources of the Primalist.
However, the patch contains even more: The planar-touched wilderness is a vast area where various dangers await adventurers who are brave or naïve enough to confront them.
In the new dungeon, it’s getting heated!
Group players can also rejoice, as the Rhaza’de Canyons are a fresh dungeon, where you must stop Teth Mornta from continuing his mischief with the resurrection machine. Of course, there are stylish rewards for doing so.
Finally, PvP players also receive some attention and can now engage in a new warfront. The Assault on the Iron Crypt puts characters either in the role of defenders or attackers to bring the ruins under their control.
Here is the trailer for the patch:

The situation has not changed; the Art Director is still being sought. However, this has only now come to the attention of some online sites, and thus the rumors about a possible “big announcement” for Diablo 3 at the upcoming Blizzcon are reigniting.
The urge to speculate does not come from nowhere.
Currently, nothing is known about the future plans for Diablo 3. It is assumed that Blizzard will unveil another expansion for Diablo 3. Whether and when Diablo IV will follow is unknown. But all eyes are on Blizzcon … today as they were two months ago.
