The latest Cards Chaos gives Hearthstone a new strategic component – the player with the lower HP value receives an advantage.
The Cat and Mouse Game
As usual, a new Cards Chaos mode in Hearthstone started again at 5 PM. Players can assemble their own deck and compete against each other – the special twist: If the active player is behind by 3 health points at the start of their turn, they summon a random minion. The difficulty lies in being slightly behind the opponent for as long as possible until one can eliminate them in a single turn. Warlock decks are particularly suitable due to the hero power that allows for targeted reduction of one’s hero’s HP.
Warlocks are particularly suitable.
This time as well, there is still a classic card pack for the first win of the week. The arcane dust gained from it can be used to craft new cards. Moreover, with the last patch, a quest was introduced where you must collect wins in Cards Chaos – anyone who still has this task open should take the time to complete it.

Another highlight will be “Lord of Vermillion.” The new attraction for the “Golden Saucer.” There, players’ pets will compete against each other. The pets will have stats and skills – a similar concept was introduced by World of Warcraft with Mists of Pandaria.
But there will also be a lot of small things coming for the players, as can be seen in these images that are associated with Patch 3.1. New craftable equipment is themed around “Air Pirate.”
New images of the housing have also been released:
A trailer has also been released, but it is currently only available in Japanese.

A player apparently started the daily heroic story mission today. Later, at the point where you have to find 2 relics to escape the temple, he headed towards the area where the “Tanis Strike”; Shadow Thief takes place – to the elevator. Variks surprisingly contacted him and instructed him to free the ship from the Taken.
Then a 10-minute timer apparently started, and the Taken and their captain “Driviks” had to be eliminated within 10 minutes – as a reward, there was the exotic sniper rifle. Also for several in fireteams. It’s probably quite hard to do solo; a fireteam is recommended.
The weapon is very similar to the Black Hammer, even has the “White Nail” perk. According to initial reports, it’s a bit buggy. No matter which scope you choose, Hawkeye is activated.
In English, the weapon is called “Black Spindle.”
The details of the whole thing are currently still quite nebulous. Whether a certain light level must be reached or if it is repeatable at will, whether you can die or not – all of this is currently unclear. You probably need to hurry when you exit the story mission to reach the catch.
It may well be that you need to have a light level of 300 for this particular section to start. This seems to be a kind of light threshold in Destiny after which some interesting things happen.
Update:Böh, it should already work under 300 light!
It has nothing to do with the special item you received when you dismantled a Black Hammer, at least not what is currently known. Everything is still quite nebulous.
It seems that it is absolutely necessary to be on the daily mission or to have someone who is on this mission with you. Otherwise, you get a response that you just missed the Fallen.

Have a nice Wednesday everyone. I won’t let you off without a bit of ranting this week, even though the topic is significantly more serious. For a change, today it’s not about a specific game, but about the internet in general. Because I am ashamed of many things, on behalf of those who should be. There’s strong language involved, by the way. You have been warned.
In games, insults have become part of everyday life – but it’s also increasingly rampant in the rest of the internet.
The Everyday Life in Twitch Chats
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on Twitch in the last few days. Usually, I watch the streams comfortably in full screen from my bed, but somehow I thought it was a good idea to observe the chats as well. And it really took my breath away. While I obviously know that this is the internet and idiots can traditionally stand out particularly easily here, the sheer number of primitive comments surprised me. As soon as a woman between 16 and 30 years old shows up in the stream, comments like these pile up:
“Tits or Riot!”
“I would totally rape her”
“Fuck the bitch against the wall”
I must have missed something. There have always been idiots, but in the past, they were isolated. Those who cause a ruckus are excluded. Those who can’t follow the rules have to play elsewhere. But since when are these people tolerated in such large numbers that they suffocate everything else in its infancy? Even the streamers seem to have partially resigned themselves to it – what choice do they have?
Facebook and the Far-Right
I actually didn’t want to get too political, but I can’t avoid Facebook and the far-right when discussing this topic. I love profiles like Kittens against Baldies, whose operators have made it their mission to dismantle Nazis and their “arguments” based on their own posts. While I can still grin broadly at the first 10 posts and chuckle over the next 20, each additional image makes me sadder.
Every click shows me another person whose hate is so strong that he seems to forget any sense of humanity. Every single like on a message like “Hopefully the doors were locked from the outside when the refugee shelter burned” (of course in the original with many spelling mistakes) makes my faith in humanity crumble a little more.
The internet has become a platform, a tool that is perfectly suited for the construction of hatred. That’s why I thank everyone who somehow stands against it – even if I don’t agree with every single post and some of these groups go too far.
“Our” Glorious Internet?
From a platform for exchange, it is slowly becoming a place of unchecked hatred.
Don’t worry, I don’t want to get more political here. But while the older generation is slowly coming into closer contact with the “new territory” of the internet, people are behaving like wild animals. Whether it’s hate slogans on Facebook or apparently “funny” calls for rape on Twitch, all of this is increasing so quickly and to such an extent that it is simply alarming.
How do we explain to the people who will get to know the internet properly in these and the next years, such things? How can we justify to them that the freedom of the internet is something that needs to be protected, despite such dark sides? Of course, the idiots wouldn’t disappear if you took away their platforms. But what is currently forming into virtual mass movements of primitive hatred exceeds all limits of tolerance.
No Solution
“Safe” the internet hasn’t been for a long time. Will someone soon take this task off our hands?
Yes, I know what some will say. Spouting big words, complaining all the time, and being unable to offer a solution. But I just don’t see them. I like the freedoms of the internet, the anonymity, and all the wonderful things that a connected world brings. But the number of idiots is increasing and I fear the day will come when the costs outweigh the benefits. Then someone will take action against it, and we can’t prevent it – and we probably don’t deserve it either, because we failed to protect the internet when it was still worth protecting. And we are approaching that limit in many areas.
What do you think? How should we deal with this issue? What could we do to diminish hatred?

One could count the days until the actual release of the RPG Sword Coast Legends, but now it has been postponed by almost a month.
Sword Coast Legends was supposed to be released on September 29. There had even been early access phases. But now the developers around Game Director Dan Tudge announced that they want to take a little more time. The RPG will therefore be released on October 20 for PC. Tudge explains:
“The decision to postpone the launch of Sword Coast Legends was not easy for us. But based on the feedback from our great community, it turned out that we need a few more weeks to provide players with the best possible gaming experience.”
Does this mean that participants in the Early Access discovered things that do not work so well? One can only hope that these are just minor issues. The developers are now offering all pre-order customers the DLC “Rage of Demons” for free as compensation.
Multiplayer Adventures with Game Master
Interesting concept: As a Game Master, one can constantly create new situations.
Sword Coast Legends is considered an unofficial successor to the cult RPGs Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Especially interesting is the ability to play the game together with friends like a round of a pen-and-paper RPG. One takes on the role of the Game Master, creates an adventure including game areas, and then leads a group of players through the quests.
The Game Master can intervene at any time and place traps or monsters, creating unforeseen situations. It is even possible for the Game Master to jump into a monster and control it directly. For such actions, they earn points, which can be invested in new traps and more monsters. The game is played from an isometric 3D perspective. Sword Coast Legends will also be released for Playstation 4 and Xbox One in the first quarter of 2016.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , there is information about which class was the most successful in the Crucible during the first week of “The Taken King”.
Bungie User Research, the statistics department of Destiny, has spoken up and introduced the subclasses with the strongest kill-death ratio in the first week.
The action combat system currently shows weaknesses in Steparu’s eyes. Especially the evasion mechanic is not appealing. The combat system of Bless feels like that of Blade and Soul, only with significantly fewer options to react. The monsters can lock players, even if they are behind them, they turn around in an instant.

Also, the design of the world impresses the Asia specialist, it is similarly detailed as Black Desert. Only the abrupt day-night cycle, which lasts 10 seconds and is very noticeable, bothers Steparu there.

Skill system and quests are probably typical Asia-standard fare. Skills are obtained from a trainer and then need to be dragged into the hotbar. The hotbar has relatively little space, and from level 15, players must decide on the suitable skills. The quests are divided into main, story, and kill quests. Kill quests are automatically triggered: when you kill a type of enemy for the first time, the quest appears, asking you to show the big Manitu to x others.

The instances in Bless Online remind Steparu of early MMORPGs: the boss enemies need to be kited, it is pretty difficult. But this could also simply be because no one has a clue yet.

Bless is designed as a PvP and RvR game and this is probably the most interesting approach right now. In a MOBA-like PvP mode, you have to capture strategically important points, then monsters spawn that are led against the opponents.

The Free2Play MMO World of Warships has just been released on PC. What about the latest military MMO from Wargaming for a version on Playstation 4 or Xbox One?
In an interview with Dualshockers, the Director of Global Operations, Ivan Moroz, said that they are currently focusing on the PC version and do not want to talk about other platforms. However, it would be logical to bring successful games to additional platforms.
The official stance at the moment is: Wargaming is not working on a console version of World of Warships. But they do not rule it out for the future.
It seems that they are making a console port dependent on the success of World of Warships on PC.

In WildStar, the auction houses have been closed. This change will remain in place until the transition to the F2P system.
Full Mailboxes and Potion Shortage
Because the transition to the Free2Play model is scheduled for September 29 and WildStar: Reloaded is attempting its relaunch, certain steps have now become necessary. The developers have temporarily disabled the auction house to ensure that no items are “in the system” at the time of the new patch’s release. However, anyone who recently put something for sale does not need to worry about their goods: They will be returned to the auction creator as usual after the original deadline and will wait in the mailbox.
Raiders were somewhat surprised by the closure of the auction house.
Some players are quite upset about this because Carbine initiated this state without long-term warning. This now means that Raiders have to farm for their potions and runes for a long time, as they can no longer access the resources of other players (or even have to trade with people personally! Where are we going with this?).
Together with the big patch that brings many improvements along with Free2Play, the auction house will be back in operation.

Blade & Soul begins to shed light on the individual classes in more detail. Starting off with the Blade Master.
Hot Curves, Sharp Cuts
On the official website of Blade & Soul, each class will now be highlighted in detail weekly and presented in a short video. It starts with the Blade Master.
The most outstanding characteristic of the Blade Master is his versatility. He possesses a wide range of offensive abilities, but also knows how to defend himself in critical situations and can thus avoid damage. This combination also makes him an excellent candidate to draw the boss’s attention in a dungeon. A quick, strong barrage of attacks at the start, followed by many defensive maneuvers to minimize the damage inflicted by the enemy.

As is typical for a warrior class, the Blade Master can also adopt multiple stances. This determines among other things which abilities are available to him and which combos he can unleash.
But as is beautifully stated in the video: The Blade Master has no real weaknesses, but also no outstanding strengths. Tactics, timing, and finesse are necessary to switch between the various stances in time and to get the most out of the class.
By the way: On September 24 at 7 PM there will be a livestream about the Blade Master on the Twitch channel of Blade & Soul. If you want a closer look at the class, you should tune into the stream on Thursday.
More about the game, the founder packages, and the various classes can be found on our Blade & Soul topic page.

Players are complaining that they keep pulling the same exotic item from exotic engrams of the same type – useless duplicates.
This could be a coincidence. However, the reports are accumulating to the point where one should at least be aware of it.
3 times “Light behind Nemesis” for the colleague from Kotaku.
Simply too few items in the Year 2 selection at the Taken King in Destiny?
With “The Taken King” came a “smart loot system.” It is supposed to recognize which exotic item guardians in Destiny still need, to give it to them with increased probability. This leads to players getting primarily (but not 100%) armor pieces for the class with which they decode the engrams from armor engrams. Previously, they could get all armor pieces with the same probability, regardless of whether they already have the items or whether it’s intended for the class with which they open the engrams in Destiny.
For armor pieces, the selection is still relatively limited: There are relatively few Year 2 helmets that could come from an engram. This might explain some of the duplicates.
But duplicates also occur with weapons.
The Last Word is a great weapon … but getting it 3 times?
Is the smart loot system in Destiny glitching?
The current theory: The smart loot system does recognize which item the guardian currently needs from this engram. However, if they receive it, the system does not immediately understand that they no longer need the item and gives it to them again. This means: If a guardian opens 3 weapon engrams in a row, it could happen that the system thinks they need the same weapon every time.
Whether this is truly the case is currently unknown. Numerous individual examples suggest this, and it can’t hurt to open the engrams “at intervals.” So, going to the Cryptarch more often and having fewer engrams decoded. Better to decode not 5 things in 5 seconds, but one per engram type and then do something else first.
… or is it determined at drop time?
It could also be that the content of the engrams is determined thanks to smart loot at the moment players receive the engram. This would mean it would be better to decrypt engrams as soon as one receives them, rather than waiting “until it’s worth it” and then marching to Rahool with a whole sack.
Aluhelm danger? At least it sounds plausible
Whether this is a “perception error” by the players that falls within the statistical range, or if something is really wrong with the engrams is hard to say. Such perception errors occur especially often when players feel disadvantaged to logically explain a streak of bad luck. It is suggested that this is not a phenomenon that is constantly and always recognizable.
But it’s not that far-fetched. It is a new situation. Previously, there was no “smart loot system” with engrams. Which helmet one pulled from an engram was independent of which helmets one already had. With the “smart loot,” this has changed. It takes into account the player’s item status. It is entirely possible that the described issues really occur.
It can’t hurt to be more cautious, especially if you are only missing a few items.
What are your experiences with the Cryptarch and the exotic engrams so far?

Frontier Developments, the developers of the space online game Elite Dangerous announced support for SteamVR for the game.
Steam and HTC are currently working on the Virtual Reality headset Vive, which will be released for developers by the end of the year and for consumers early next year. Frontier Developments aims to support this technology and enable players to experience the space game Elite Dangerous as a VR experience.
The Virtual Reality Awaits
“We are proud to announce SteamVR support as part of the ongoing expansion of Elite Dangerous,” says Jonny Watts, Chief Creative Officer of Frontier Developments. “In December 2013, we were among the first to integrate virtual reality into a AAA title. For me, exploration, trading, and combat in the scale-accurate Milky Way of Elite Dangerous is an unparalleled experience in virtual reality. We have worked closely with Valve to enable Elite Dangerous on the HTC Vive and are very pleased with the quality.”
“Elite Dangerous by Frontier Developments is a great example of a team leveraging the versatility of the Vive and SteamVR,” says Chet Faliszek from Valve. “Players take the helm of an excellent spaceship simulation and we are excited to showcase this for the first time on Vive at the Eurogamer Expo (EGX).”
The CQC Update Can Be Tested
A first version of Elite Dangerous with SteamVR support will be presented at the EGX event, taking place from September 24 to 27 in Birmingham. The SteamVR support will be available to all owners of the game via a free update. The update is expected to be released by the end of the year. Before that, however, fans can look forward to the CQC update. This introduces several competitive multiplayer modes in Elite Dangerous. The “Open Gamma” of the update is now available, allowing all fans to test the new features. The final version is planned for October and is expected to be released for PC, Mac, and Xbox One.

Like every year, there are again numerous goodies for the visitors of BlizzCon in 2015 that fans can redeem in their games. We take a look at the various bonuses for World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, and Starcraft.
Demon Hunter Murlocs and Cyber Beasts
Once again this year, Blizzard is hosting its own gaming convention, BlizzCon, on November 6 and 7. As usual, attendees will receive some goodies to show off in-game that they participated in this event. However, this is not only for those who are physically present, but also for anyone who has secured a virtual ticket and followed the presentations via the stream.
Players of World of Warcraft receive the little Murkidan, the Murloc in the outfit of a Demon Hunter. Who wouldn’t want that in their pet battle team?
All fans of the MOBA Heroes of the Storm get the Nexus Battle Beast, basically a holo-version of the war kodo.
Hearthstone veterans can showcase their attendance at BlizzCon with a new, exclusive card back.
Hobby strategists dabbling in Starcraft 2 can choose from two new profile pictures: one spaceship of the Protoss and an ancient Xel’naga artifact.
The player community of Diablo 3 even receives 3 goodies: a new portrait frame, a flag with the BlizzCon logo, and a new pet – a treasure goblin that looks very suspiciously like a Murloc.
If you are still unsure whether to follow BlizzCon, you can take your time. At least in previous years, it was possible to purchase a virtual ticket even during the show.

The latest patch of SWTOR adjusts the graphical settings – and should primarily provide a better experience during large player masses.
Many players, many frames?
Until approximately 5 PM, the servers of Star Wars: The Old Republic will be unavailable for maintenance today. The reason for this is Patch 3.3.2, which brings hardly any gameplay changes but aims to address some performance issues.
Players will notice the biggest changes on the fleet and during large events when numerous characters are displayed on screen at the same time. They aim to have significantly increased the frame rate, which should lead to a smoother gaming experience even on older computers. Furthermore, characters should now stand out better from the background of the game world, which will put them a bit more in the spotlight, especially during cutscenes.
Stronger outlines, shorter loading times – the patch promises numerous small improvements.
The list of changes is long but mainly consists of small adjustments: The shadows look a bit nicer, more textures are rendered, and loading times of the planets have been slightly minimized (whether one notices the difference between 60 seconds and 55 seconds is debatable).
If your PC has been struggling with SWTOR so far, it might not hurt to take a quick look at the game – perhaps you’ll encounter a pleasant surprise.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Judge’s Rune causes headaches. We explain how it works and provide tips on how you can refill it in one or three days.
The Dreadnought is like a woman’s handbag – a place full of mysteries and dark secrets. Admittedly, there are no peppermint candies that were still paid with Deutsche Mark, but all sorts of other terrible things that should preferably remain hidden. One of them is the Judge’s Rune. We want to tackle that today.
How to get the Judge’s Rune and how to quickly charge the Judge’s Rune
The Judge’s Rune is a rune that Guardians can obtain from a specific event in the Dreadnought. When beginning a patrol and entering a white circle, the Possessed will appear there. Who can withstand their attacks and ultimately kill their leader, who spawns after a while, will receive a Judge’s Rune with a charge of 1/7 and a mysterious inscription. Hard to do something with that.
This Judge’s Rune can only be refilled if you start and complete this event once each day of the week with your Guardian. The first kill of each Guardian per day counts. (The day starts in Destiny at 11:00 AM.)
However, this can be accelerated if you have multiple Guardians and pass the rune around. Then you can complete the event with each Guardian and charge the rune 3 times a day.

Once the rune is charged, head back into the Dreadnought, towards the mausoleum, in the top left corner. There, a longer event starts, at the end of which a chest awaits. Here you can use the rune. How to get to the event and how it proceeds, you can see here. It’s a really nice space battle, as you can see:

There is one more special feature. In this event, the leaders appear again, who are needed to charge the rune. Therefore, players who have an uncharged Judge’s Rune can join in here and fill it up. For that, one member from the fireteam must already have a fully charged rune and have not yet completed the event.
A new preview video showcases upcoming content for Heroes of the Storm, including two new heroes, plenty of skins, and new mounts!
Autumn Season in the Nexus
Right after the games of the American Championship of Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard released a new “Currently in Development” video, which offers a first look at upcoming content. Among them are not only the two heroes Artanis and Lt. Morales (the Medic), but also numerous skin variations and as usual, plenty of mounts. But first, take a look at the video:

Lt. Morales – soon to motivate the gentlemen on the battlefield.
The most exciting new feature of the future will probably be the two heroes, namely Artanis and Lt. Morales. While the release of the StarCraft warrior will likely coincide with the release of the “Legacy of the Void” expansion (November 10), we can only speculate about Lt. Morales. With about 6 weeks left until the launch of the StarCraft 2 addon, it’s even possible that Lt. Morales will be implemented into the game before Artanis. Unfortunately, there have been no details about the Protoss warrior’s skills, but at least a rough insight into the Medic’s abilities was already provided in the past.
New Skins: Nintendo-Medic, Hearthstone-Falstad and Anime-Artanis
Also worth a closer look are the new appearance variations that are currently in development. Blizzard has once again shown creativity, but is also not shy about making some very direct references to well-known characters from other games.
The master skin of Lt. Morales has a color variant that makes her look very much like Samus Aran from the Nintendo series “Metroid”.
Also, the premium skin Apothecary Morales is surely inspired by the Chaos Space Marines – and looks damn good.
Artanis, however, particularly excites me, as his premium skin Purifier Artanis has two color settings that make him look exactly like EVA 01 and EVA 02 from the anime classic Neon Genesis Evangelion. I already know which skin will be bought directly.
So? Whose heart beats faster at the sight of Artanis’ skins?
Raynor does justice to his job as a space cowboy and finally gets his own Marshall Skin. Equipped with a sheriff’s badge, he goes into battle and locks up the bad guys (or Mengsk) behind bars.
Buccaneer Falstad perfectly embodies the madness of the pirate on a parrot and brings the Hearthstone card Skycaptain Kragg into the Nexus.
New Mounts – Back to the Past and Halloween
There is also a lot of new content for mounts. Kicking things off is the Nexus Battle Beast, which will be available as a reward for participating (both virtually and in real life) at BlizzCon 2015.
A fast little horse, the Marshall’s Outrider, will likely be offered in a bundle with the new Raynor skin, definitely fitting the space cowboy visually.
The Void Speeder is nothing more than a hoverboard, but thematically and color-wise, it strongly resembles the Void Seeker, the spaceship of Zeratul in Starcraft 2. It looks particularly absurdly funny with the monk, as he hovers on the hoverboard himself – but hey, what’s physics?
Long-time Blizzard fans can also rejoice, as the new Vulture mount is based on the unit of the same name from Starcraft 1 – back then, Raynor used this vehicle to drive into the sunset with Kerrigan. How times change…
In line with the Hallows’ End, the Halloween variant of World of Warcraft, the Headless Horseman’s mount awaits players of the MMORPG, which they already know from the Scarlet Monastery.
Hopefully, more information about each hero will be available in the coming days – anyone wishing to engage more with the game in the meantime can do so on our Heroes of the Storm topic page.

All fans of the MMORPG Archlord 2 must now be very brave, as Webzen is shutting down the game.
Archlord 2 was from the very beginning a game that was not under a good star. The payment system was perceived as Pay2Win and players even boycotted the beta because of this. Apparently, the MMO could never really recover from this negative start, as Webzen has now announced the end. On November 24, the company will close the servers. This means that the online game had a lifespan of just about a year.
The End for Archlord 2!
According to Webzen, around 300,000 players logged into the MMORPG during this time, who together amassed around 5 million hours of gameplay. Until November 24, fans can really give it their all, as everyone now receives a 100 percent experience points bonus. The drop rates for gold, items, and fame points will also be increased.
Guilds do not need to worry about having nothing to do from now on, as the dates for the guild battles and the opening times of the El-Dorado map will remain until November 24. Those who purchased WCoin for Archlord 2 after April 1, 2015, can contact support and receive a refund under certain conditions. You can find out what those conditions are through support. The refunded WCoin can then be used in other Webzen games.
Webzen wants to encourage all Archlord 2 fans to take a look at the upcoming MMOs from the company. Maybe there are some that offer a good replacement for Archlord 2. Is that a real consolation for the players? After the end of Archlord and Archlord 2, it seems unlikely that Webzen will develop a third part.

In Diablo 3 Season 2.3, the “Archon” talent build is considered one of the strongest variants for the Wizard. You need these items, talents, and tactics for the Archon.
It is amazing how sophisticated Diablo 3 is. What seems like a simple and rather blunt slaughter at first glance surprises in the details, as one and the same class can differ greatly when it uses different items, passives, and skills. In Blizzard’s title Diablo 3, fine-tuning has become a science in itself. The items and skills have various synergy effects; one set is suitable for this variant, the next for another. And it is crucial to squeeze out every ounce of damage to tackle the increasingly tougher rifts.
The class “Wizard” is currently considered weaker alongside the Crusader; many are having trouble approaching the higher rifts. This is reflected in the leaderboard, where the Barbarian and Monk dominate.
YouTuber Fevir has now created an incredibly detailed video guide for the Wizard, focusing on the “Archon” build. He considers this the likely strongest Wizard build in Patch 2.3 of Diablo. With the Archon, the Wizard becomes a mid-range specialist, mowing down enemies near him with a kind of “laser beam” in a Cyclops-like manner.
Here is the detailed video:

In the MMO shooter Destiny the new week begins on Tuesday, September 22nd. What is the Nightfall Strike?
In Destiny, a lot has changed. In recent weeks, there has been a long article here for the weekly reset covering the inmates of “The Prison of Elders,” Variks’ inventory, the weekly Nightfall Strike, and the heroic strike.
All of that has significantly decreased: The Prison of Elders is no longer particularly relevant. The weekly heroic strike has now been turned into a constant playlist. There you can farm legendary marks.
This should be the Rasputin Strike (S.A.B.E.R.) with the modifiers Voidburn, Specialist, Chieftain, and “Berserk.”
Voidburn increases overall Void damage.
Specialist encourages the use of special weapons.
Chieftain increases the cooldown of grenades and special abilities.
Berserk is likely the new “Angry.” Enemies do not flinch, even from strong hits.
Additionally, the first players are already excited about “Chaperone,” the new exotic shotgun. It was due today. Amanda Holiday distributes it with the weekly reset.
Guides, Tips, and Tricks for the Nightfall Strike in the week of September 22nd.
We will be looking for and preparing videos of successful runs through S.A.B.E.R. As mentioned above: The Nightfall Strike no longer needs to be played so cautiously. Bungie specifically made this change because they want to see a more aggressive playstyle; the previous Nightfall Strike tactics were probably deemed a little too timid by Bungie …
A run through S.A.B.E.R. is available from Nexxoss. He goes in with Telesto as the special weapon. The Nightfall is quite tricky right now, especially since everyone is missing gear, so a step-by-step guide is useful!

There is also a pretty nasty glitch at the Warsat location at the beginning, which causes many difficulties, where a player can glitch through the ground and then be invulnerable for the rest of the fight. They essentially sit out the encounter. But this is clearly an exploit, which we therefore neither recommend nor want to show. Such things ruin the fun of the game, even if the spot is truly hard.

Multiboxers are not a new phenomenon in World of Warcraft. However, when over 100 dwarves storm the Brewfest, it raises eyebrows.
Raise the Tankards!
Currently, the annual Brewfest is taking place in World of Warcraft, where not only Bavarian players can have a good time. Dwarves are particularly known for their endurance in beer consumption and are known to indulge in all the rules of brewing. On the server Kil’jaeden, players must have been quite astonished when a whole crowd of iron dwarves suddenly appeared before Orgrimmar, all drinking in sync.
What was behind it? A multiboxer with over 100 accounts positioned his characters in a circle, creating a spectacle. We will show you how it looked in the game.
The player named “Prepared” has already attracted attention with such actions in the past, but he is considered controversial, as he often draws the wrath of his fellow players. At least in this case, it seemed to be a peaceful and impressive spectacle.
We don’t really want to know how much the monthly fees are and how many computers the player runs simultaneously…
