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…

Hearthstone is a fairly fast-paced card game. Only a few players notice the many details and work that goes into the effects …
A Night Sky Full of Shooting Stars
Okay, let’s be honest: Most spells in Hearthstone are disliked by everyone. This is more due to their mechanics, which can turn a won game into a loss. There is hardly anything to complain about their visual effects – they are entertaining and pleasant to look at. However, it is hard to recognize how much effort and attention to detail really goes into the individual animations.
A video from YouTuber Legend Stuff has recorded a series of effects in slow motion to present them better. What sounds boring is actually beautiful to watch and fits perfectly with the music:

I believe such videos would benefit other games too; at least I am very interested in such details and all too often the effects and graphics are hardly appreciated. Especially in Hearthstone, this is very pronounced, where almost every move is associated with stress – and one focuses on the numbers, not on the animations around.

A new image brings joy to the Ranger players of Guild Wars 2. The first image of the elite specialization has been released!
Directly from the wilderness
Slowly, the circle of elite specializations of Guild Wars 2 is closing. With the expansion Heart of Thorns, all characters gain access to new abilities, including the Ranger. An image on Twitter is now causing wild speculation – as some details were revealed months ago.
If the information from back then is still correct, it suggests: The new specialization will be the Druid, and apparently, (s)he will fight with a staff. In the background, several large creatures can be recognized, hinting at the Druid’s companions, such as a dinosaur. The decorations at the end of the staff also lead players on reddit to suspect that the new abilities will revolve around animal helpers.
In the coming days, we can certainly expect a detailed presentation of the Druid.
For more on the other elite specializations and the Heart of Thorns expansion, you can find it on our Guild Wars 2 topic page.

In the MMO shooter Destiny there are new videos of the week. The first with “King of the Taken.”
Normally, Monday night is video night for us, where we showcase the best clips of the week. Last Monday, we used the evening for something else. Everyone was excited about King of the Taken and wasn’t very keen to see the videos chosen by Bungie from the previous week. This time it’s different: There is new gear. And it wants to be used creatively!
This clip was chosen by Bungie as the video of the week. It shows “old content,” but combined with new possibilities. Man, it so deserves it. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.

If the hero can die of old age, then it shows that the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria wants to offer something special.
There are many MMORPGs on the market, making it difficult for developers to find a niche and attract players to their product. The Soulbound Studios aim to achieve this through a realistic sandbox world. In Chronicles of Elyria, you create a hero whose path in the world you define.
The character creation can already be impressive. And that is just the head.
Do you want to become a renowned blacksmith or a bandit who ambushes other players in the woods? Do you wish to explore the lands and delve into dark dungeons? You have almost no limits. It is even possible to rise from a simple farmer to the ruler of an entire dynasty. Then strategy elements come into play, as you’ll need to manage resources and the kingdom.
However, ambition always comes with risks. Only if you are willing to take high risks, you will have the ability to significantly change the fate of the world through your actions.
Even heroes die of old age
This also applies to your hero. As time passes, he ages and can even die. The older your character becomes, the more it shows. He gets gray hair, men grow beards, wrinkles appear on the face… If the hero dies, he is permanently dead – permadeath is the rule. Therefore, you should consider having children, as part of your abilities will be inherited. The lifespan of a hero is about one real year.
You develop the character through a free skill system; there are no classes. However, your personal skill and coordination are also important. For example, a blacksmith creates items through mini-games, and you swing your sword yourself; there are no auto-attacks.
Dynamic stories
The graphics impress in the first images.
Although Chronicles of Elyria is a sandbox game, there are also stories that you can experience. However, these conform to the sandbox elements. There are no predetermined quests. Instead, the developers have created an AI-based story engine that generates its own stories, taking into account the status of the world and the heroes. For example, a journey through the desert may develop into a small story, or events can evolve due to the players’ actions, potentially leading to great wars.
Even the developers cannot predict these stories. Moreover, they aim for a certain degree of realism. Wandering into the wilderness without a map can result not only in being attacked by wild animals, other players, or monsters but also in running out of food and water. If you want to send a message to other players, you hire a courier. But whether you can trust him is another story…
The Proteus engine is designed to support the game, making it feel like a realistic simulation.
The MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is expected to be released in 2016. For each character’s lifespan, a certain amount (likely between 20 and 40 dollars) will need to be paid. Therefore, you must pay money every year to continue playing, as heroes live for a maximum of one year. You can find more information about the game on the official website: chroniclesofelyria.com.

We have already reported a little about the Japanese MMO Dragon’s Dogma Online in the past few weeks, such as about the successful launch and the impressive numbers. At the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom presented new content that will be coming to players very soon. The patch 1.1 (or Season 1.1, as the developers call it) brings some forest areas where new bosses await and also an 8-player raid where a gigantic treant must be defeated.

The new class will be the Elemental Archer. Unlike an ordinary hunter, the newcomer does not use arrows! Instead, he fires with elemental projectiles that not only deal damage but can also heal. “I’ll heal you to death” seems to be quite a serious threat. It is also special that the elemental arrows can bounce off walls and thus cause multiple damage or healing – careful positioning, both by the group and the Elemental Archer, will be even more important than before.

Trove is one of the games that was not initially expected to achieve such great success. Yet it is extremely popular. Now, a new update for the MMO called “Rise of the Shadow Tower” has been released.
Climbing stairs is said to be healthy. Thus, a massive tower in the MMORPG Trove is just what is needed. To lose a few voxel pounds, your hero climbs the many steps of the Shadow Tower and faces numerous challenges there.
At the top, there is said to be an ancient evil force that you must stop! But what is this dark power, and why does it hide at the top of the tower when a knight in full armor is already out of breath halfway up? The Moon Goddess apparently wants to be close to her mother, the Moon. The Moon Goddess is jealous of the Sun Goddess and thus spreads her dark influence everywhere. She now uses the tower to bring darkness over all worlds of Trove.
You fight your way up the enormous tower floor by floor, defeating numerous enemies along the way, such as the Shadow Hydra (a creature designed by a fan of the game), to finally face the Moon Goddess herself. Prepare for a tough battle!
If you wish, you can also take on this challenge in the role of the new class Lunar Lancer. This class fights with a spear and can buff its companions. In addition, the now released update introduces revised challenges, new player creations, a bald head potion, and new upgradable Legendary Tomes. There is much new for the players of the MMO Trove to do!
