In Overwatch, players will not be able to host their own servers – that right is reserved by Blizzard.
All power to Blizzard
It shouldn’t surprise anyone anymore, but Overwatch will also require a permanent internet connection to play. This is more than understandable for a multiplayer shooter, but some fans were probably hoping for the possibility to host their own servers to be able to run the game at LAN parties.
Blizzard has now confirmed that all servers will be provided by them and players can only play on official servers. This has the great advantage that no one has to suffer from the disadvantages that private hosting of games brings with it: In games like Left 4 Dead 2, the loser could simply shut down the server – that had little to do with fair play. At the same time, the risk of above-average high latencies is avoided when everyone has to connect to Blizzard. Last but not least, game manipulation can largely be prevented and any “mods” will probably be categorically excluded.
Keep your hands off your own servers. They will not exist.
Nevertheless, there will be ways to create your own games with your own rules and invite only friends to a round. If you don’t feel like competing with supposed “randos”, you don’t have to take that risk – but you should have a large friends list.

Hey, it’s Wednesday! Hey, WildStar is Free2Play! Hey, nothing works! Sometimes my thoughts are very brief and focused, but the great advantage here is that there is another Complaint Wednesday to read. But okay, Cortyn, master your emotions, tell everything in order, and first calm your mind with a great cinematic!

Yesterday at 6 AM, WildStar celebrated its second release and is now called WildStar: Reloaded. Because the game is now Free2Play, many players downloaded it in advance to dive straight into the SciFi MMO at launch. Of course, exactly what always happens during a Free2Play transition of a major AAA title happened: The servers couldn’t handle the rush.
The result was long waiting times at the login servers, along with a very questionable calculation. Supposedly I would have to wait nearly 120 hours before I could enter the game. Strangely, however, after 30 minutes, the first 118 hours had already passed – lucky me! Sometimes just the hope that things won’t be as bad as announced is enough.
Waiting times in WildStar – nobody would have expected that 6 months ago.
As you can see, you see nothing
But I don’t want to blame Carbine solely for the login problems. It’s normal for a massive rush to happen on release day, which then suddenly fades away. It is also more than understandable that you don’t want to get completely new server structures for just one day that will only be 20% utilized in the following weeks.
A friends list without names. Very useful and incredibly motivating!
However: It is really astonishing how little works in the game. While many of my friends (and I too) could overlook certain issues, such as the non-functioning in-game shop (which probably also relates to server load), other bugs were more serious. Friends lists appeared to be deleted, guilds dissolved, chats set up so that whisper messages could not be received (and also there was no other way to be notified about it).
Almost all social functions worked only partially or incorrectly. This made it very difficult to re-engage returning players to the game when you couldn’t even contact them to explain the new features.
Worse than any spam bot
A small extra award goes to the developer who thought it would be a good idea to send all “replacement runes” received from old equipment individually via mail. I surely have about 150 different messages waiting in my mailbox – if I should ever be very bored, I can surely spend an hour just on that.
Right now, WildStar looks exciting – but not much can be done yet.
But yes, I know myself that this may not be justified at the moment. However, since the problems seem to lie not only with the server but also with the patch itself, the unpleasant thought arises that WildStar could be experiencing its second spring right now – with all the pollen and childhood diseases that it brings with it. It just reminds me too much of the first launch. May the coming days prove me wrong. I hope the next few days bring swift changes … because I would really love to report some nice things.
P.S.: At the moment I preview the article, WildStar advertisement appears on the side. Sometimes it takes so little to make me smile.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the first Guardian has now reached the maximum light level.
The maximum level of 310 light is possible in Destiny. And last night, at least as far as we know, the first Guardian achieved this dream value in Destiny. It is a Hunter.
At the moment, he is still alone at the top, but Destinytracker already knows of 63 others at light level 309. It takes quite a bit of luck and endurance for the last few points.
That is exactly what annoys many players over 300. They complain that they can hardly progress and that reaching the new maximum level of 310 is not possible.
It is like back in the Glassed Chamber, when you absolutely needed boots to avoid getting stuck as “Forever 29,” it echoes through the Destiny forums.
Game Director says: Light Level 300 is currently sufficient for everything in Destiny
Whether you have 307 or 308 light, it doesn’t really matter in vertical progression.
You are the 1% of the 1% – don’t go crazy
Anyone who has reached a light value of 300 is well prepared for everything that is yet to come. Many who now complain that they can’t progress after 300, are the “1% of the 1%” of Destiny players, sometimes losing sight of how far they have come.
Smith himself is not so much obsessed with the light level (vertical progression), but with the ideal stat distribution of his characters (horizontal progression). He has hinted multiple times at how obsessively he pursues certain perks and values. He does take a look at guardians in the Tower who have certain items in the perfect constellation and surely does not appreciate that.

The upcoming online shooter Battleborn presents its customization options for heroes.
With 25 playable heroes, Battleborn will launch, with “heroes” being an extremely broad term and not to be understood as “following a moral value system”.
A trailer has now shown what this mathematically means, how many combinations possibilities there are; in how many different ways each hero can be played, how many team combinations arise with 5 players, and how the various match combinations would look.

The tank combat MMO Armored Warfare is starting on PC in just a few days. With over 60 vehicles, it aims to compete with World of Tanks.
Armored Warfare is a modern free-to-play game, and the open beta is akin to a “soft release.” Since you can’t really “buy” the game in that sense, players will retain the progress they make in the open beta upon release.
The open beta starts on October 8th. Those who purchased a founder’s package can start as early as tomorrow, October 1st. This is called a headstart. Exact times are not available yet.
The developers assure that they will continue to develop the game during the beta. A significant number of additional content will be added to the existing 9 PvP maps and 25 PvE maps.

The developers of Dragomon Hunterhave now revealed that there will also be a home for every player character in their game: the Ranch.
A small home for all monster collectors
Newer MMORPGs continually seek to provide players with places where they can simply relax and spend some quiet time away from the many battles. Dragomon Hunter is no exception and offers players its own style of housing.
Every player gets access to a small ranch where they can engage in a range of activities with their Dragomons: Captured Dragomon can be leveled up and enhanced here (and petted a bit). When guests visit their ranch, they can even ride the Dragomon – the perfect opportunity to show off their pets.
Those who wish can also continue breeding their favorites, creating new creatures with special color combinations or unique strengths.
However, the ranch will not be without action: Occasionally, there will be attacks from wild Dragomon. However, the player’s own creatures can participate in the defense. More loot (rare crafting materials) awaits, but only if the players themselves fend off the attack – preferably with some friends, as everyone benefits from it.
In the future, the functions of the ranch are set to be expanded. However, lucky chosen ones can already try it out starting October 15 in the closed beta.

The space online game Elite: Horizons will be expanded in a few weeks with the first part of the Horizons add-ons.
Fans of Elite: Dangerous have been waiting a long time for Horizons. The add-on is expected to bring a lot of new features. However, it is referred to as the “Season of Expansions,” meaning that not all innovations will be introduced at once, but rather the developers will roll them out gradually. By Christmas this year, the first wave of new features will find its way into the online game.
Explore the secrets of planets
This includes the ability to land on planets. Without loading times, players can then enter the atmosphere of planets and moons with the Scarab as a ship and discover signals, crashed ships, resources, or hidden outposts and fortresses during scanning. These can then be explored or the resources mined.
It is also possible to encounter enemy ships in the atmosphere, leading to new types of combat. All of this brings you a lot of new rewards. You race through deep canyons or over mountain peaks of planets and can even explore the surfaces with an SRV (“Surface Recon Vehicle”).
There’s more to come!
However, the Horizons expansion series will bring even more. Next year, the multi-crew feature is set to be introduced. You will command large ships together with friends. Some man the guns, while others sit at the helm. This is connected to the introduction of huge motherships equipped with fighters. Your crew can then jump into these fighters during combat and defend your ship in space battles.
Additionally, the developers will introduce the ability to customize your hero in detail. You will then receive a character whose appearance you can determine down to the last detail.
Fans of Elite: Dangerous have good reason to look forward to this year’s Christmas season and the coming year!

At Black Desert , they are gradually looking for European employees to serve the European market.
The Black Desert is Moving to Amsterdam
Step by step, Daum Games is preparing for a closed beta phase of Black Desert. In this context, the team behind the MMORPG with the incredibly detailed character editor and the cat madness is also expanding in Europe. Currently, there are four positions to fill.
One of them is the “Lead Localization Specialist,” who – as the name suggests – is primarily responsible for translation work. Whether this means that Black Desert will also be available in other European languages besides English remains to be seen, as it could also involve external content, such as websites. Other positions are Game Master and Community Manager.
Anyone who feels called to perform such a task must, however, endure a relocation – as it is expected that the positions will be filled by people from the Amsterdam area.
Slowly but surely, things are happening – a start of the beta version therefore becomes more tangible, even if there is still no specific date.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , three exotic weapons were added: Tlaloc, Pikass, and Fabian Strategy, which are class-exclusive. Tlaloc is only for Warlocks, Titans get the Fabian Strategy, and Hunters get the Pikass.
Amid the commotion surrounding “King of the Possessed”, it has been a bit overlooked: Three of the known exotic weapons can actually only be used by one class each. Yes, they are class-specific. It’s a crazy new world in Destiny, and we live in it.
The three class-specific exotic weapons that came with King of the Possessed are the scout rifle Tlaloc for Warlocks, the hand cannon Pikass for Hunters, and the auto rifle Fabian Strategy for Titans.
We will show you on the next pages how to get the three weapons for each class – it’s not a big problem, it involves the quest “Back in the Saddle”. And we will show you what the weapons can do.
A warning in advance:One of the three weapons is a dud. It is currently still buggy.
And now guess which class is stuck with an exotic weapon that does not work as it should …

Coinciding with the launch of WildStar: Reloaded, Carbine has released a new cinematic – and it puts you right in the log-in mood!
I got a WildStar in me …
Since this morning at 6 AM, the megaservers of WildStar are back in operation, as the long-awaited transition to a Free2Play model has finally occurred. To warm up the dedicated fans and new players a bit, a new trailer was released at the same time. This captures the gameplay of WildStar much better and reveals how rough – and occasionally a bit silly – it is in Carbine’s SciFi MMORPG.
But see for yourself how the Exiles settle their disputes (like “real men”) and why the Dominion is a big bunch of killjoys.

Yesterday we had a little news about the new League of Legends champion Kindred, eagerly awaited by the community. The principle of “two individual characters in one” is not new, even if it is now celebrated by LoL players. At least one other game (and surely many that I don’t know) had such a character long ago – and that character is centuries old. We are talking about Hel from Smite, a Norse goddess of the underworld.
Hel – The Daughter of the Trickster
Hel is definitely one of the most interesting goddesses handed down from Norse mythology. She is the daughter of Loki, the great trickster, and therefore a monster (like all his children). But that’s not all: She is also cursed with the madness of two personalities and takes care of those who cannot enter Valhalla. The “bright” Hel looks after the sick and the elderly, while the “dark” Hel sorts out all bad people and sends them to the underworld. But why do I bother when this video can explain her so much better:

In contrast to Kindred, Hel often argues with herself – as it expresses her personalities. Not everything is serious, and much is just silly fun, but a few sentences are enough to know that the “bright” Hel and the “dark” do not understand each other – except when they lead or kill a soul into the depths of the underworld.
I can only speculate why these characters are so popular. That’s why I make it simple and shamelessly generalize from myself to others: Most heroes in MOBAs are not connected to their game world. They are puzzle pieces that somehow have to work with the other pieces. For this reason, dialogues – if they exist at all – between the characters are very rare and often only scratch the surface of the backstory. In Heroes of the Storm, for example, some heroes insult each other. However, if you pay closer attention to the words, it quickly becomes clear that they are chosen in such a way that they apply to multiple opponents. The individuality, the soul of the different characters suffers from this.
Hel’s two personalities are also reflected in her premium skins.
Dual beings, like Kindred or Hel can break out of this trap. They can tell their own story without relying on other players. The characters can argue with each other, encourage or ridicule each other. They can engage in deep, meaningful dialogues or just fool around.
That may sound lofty or unrealistic, but I believe people long for stories and especially connections – and these characters provide that on a very basic level. They are not a reinvention and not innovative, but they give us a bit more story and a bit more entertainment than all other characters. Moreover, they are incredibly cute.

Who wouldn’t love to own their own island? The upcoming sandbox MMORPG Albion Online aims to make this possible.
So far, it has been possible to buy a private island during the alpha phases of Albion Online. This served as a retreat. However, testers wanted more, which is why the developers have now come up with a new system to make owning a private island in the MMORPG even more enjoyable. As before, you will buy an island in one of the major cities of the game world. However, now you will find rubble and rocks that you can pay to clear out. This means, specifically, that you can expand your island over time!
Get your own island!
On the newly freed area, you can establish fields or plots. Buildings can then be constructed and expanded. Overall, you should be able to expand your island in five stages. This allows you to individually decorate your island. Guild islands are also supposed to get this feature, so you can collectively expand your own island in a guild. However, for example, growing resources in the fields can become hard work the further you expand your island.
With the closed beta of the MMORPG Albion Online, which is launching this November, you will be able to hire NPCs as workers to assist you actively. Sandbox Interactive will soon reveal more details about this new system of private islands in the MMORPG Albion Online. So it will be very interesting to see what options your private island will offer you in the future.
The latest patch from Ark: Survival Evolved introduced two new biomes – pack your winter boots and a raincoat, it’s going to be wet and cold!
Dread Wolves and Frogs You Shouldn’t Kiss
With the new patch 216, ARK: Survival Evolved not only introduced new creatures yesterday, but also two completely new biomes that expand the game world. For the first time, a large swamp and an icy snow landscape can be explored. As expected, both zones come with entirely new creatures.
In the deep snow, Dread Wolves can be found, tamed, and ultimately used as mounts. In the small ponds of the swamp, all kinds of toxic creatures wait – alongside giant snakes, there are also large frogs. Especially funny: The frogs can also be saddled and serve as a mode of transportation. This way, even larger obstacles can be quickly crossed, as they can jump great distances instead of walking over the ground.
Furthermore, the green Quakers have a ranged attack by swinging their long tongue. This video gives you a good impression of what the new patch has in store for you:

The online shooter Star Wars Battlefront was almost rejected by the developer DICE, but the opportunity was just too tempting.
Argh! We are fully booked!
DICE gave a little insight into what it is like when one of the biggest licenses in the world is offered. Disney came to Electronic Arts and suggested: “Perhaps DICE could make a Battlefront game.“
At DICE, the first reaction was “Argh! We are fully booked!” But then they decided with their hearts: We have to make this work. We can’t let such an opportunity slip away.
The most important thing: Staff, Staff, Staff
But how can a studio handle such a mammoth project with huge demands? They look for the right people. Even before they knew exactly what they were developing, they already had a rough version in mind and the people they wanted for it. They restructured internally and actively recruited.
That is also no walk in the park: Some of those they approached were not interested, others were excited about Star Wars but did not want to work for DICE, and for others, after 10 years with Battlefield, it was finally time to try something new.
Overall, everything is different, a very organic process. There seems to be no master plan to follow.
Next week, the Open Beta for Star Wars Battlefront starts – it runs on PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
This week, maintenance is taking place for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC in the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. The dates are September 29, 30, and October 2.
Our service announcement for TESO players: The maintenance for the console megaservers will once again take place at inconvenient times:
For Xbox One, it starts on Tuesday, September 29, at 12:00 noon.
Playstation players will pause on Wednesday, September 30, at 12:00 noon. That is their server maintenance in The Elder Scrolls Online.
PC players have it better. The European mega-server will be down for maintenance on Thursday, October 1, but that will happen at 4:00 AM.
In the MMO shooter Destiny on Tuesday, September 29th, a new Nightfall Strike is in the rotation. We present the Undying Mind and provide tips.
Last week, some players rubbed their eyes: The Nightfall, the weekly Nightfall Strike, was really challenging. Since the new strikes hardly offer any opportunities for “Safespots” or cheating and many Guardians are still using transitional gear, it was quite a hairy affair.
Whereas last time a glitch actually occurred, which was not related to a safe spot like in the past: players bugged themselves through a clipping error under the ground.
Weekly Nightfall Strike on September 29th leads to the Undying Mind
Starting the week of September 29th, the strike “The Undying Mind” will be featured. This was the PlayStation-exclusive strike that came with “Darkness Awaits”; it is now also available to Xbox players and can therefore be a Nightfall. This is its debut as a Nightfall strike.
Modifiers are Solar Flare, Juggler, Catapult, and “Fresh Troops.”
Solar Flare doubles the damage of Solar weapons (it used to be triple, and this still applies to the enemies)
Juggler – Killed enemies do not drop ammunition for the weapon type that took them down.
Catapult – Grenades are available faster
Fresh Troops – Some enemy groups have reinforcements
How to defeat the T3 boss Balwûr at the Court of Oryx
The T3 boss at the Dreadnaught event “Court of Oryx” this week is Balwûr.
During the fight against her, the ground is filled with poison. A safe zone spawns. The trick is to move with the group into these safe zones, kill Acolytes to spawn more safe zones, and deal damage to Balwûr. Only in the safe zone can you deal damage to Balwûr and the Acolytes.
By the way: Reddit users are currently raving about the secret seekers since “Blighted Coven” became the heroic daily quest… but they have been raving constantly lately.
Tips, Tricks, and Guides?
We will present runs through the new Nightfall strike here throughout the day. You can pick up a trick or two on how to manage it.
This is a fairly aggressive method to take down Balwûr, the T3 boss.

In MMO shooter Planetside 2, a vague continent was promised that is supposed to be empty so that players can shape and populate it.
Promised golden autumn did not happen
Several months ago, John Smedley, the then-president of the studio, announced a golden September for the MMO shooter Planetside 2. With update 2.0, they would address some of the core issues of the game. September is almost over, Smedley has left the company, and there was no sign of a golden September.
Since the port to the Playstation 4, it has been quite quiet around Planetside 2. The mood among fans on PC is not the best. The impression is: We have been waiting for new developments for so long while PS2 made its way to the Playstation 4. Should we now continue to wait for it to come to Xbox One?
The video provides a brief introduction to Planetside 2 to make the start easier:

Now the developers were guests at a Q&A on reddit: They could or would not set a real exclamation mark there. They are working on the game every day and are aware of the bugs. In response to a fan’s question about when the Xbox One version will come, they replied that technicians were doing initial groundwork, but the focus is on PC and Playstation 4.
The most interesting thing here is a “Construction System” that allows players to build temporary fortifications even outside of bases. When asked if a new continent is coming, the developers responded by asking how players would like a pretty empty continent that players could then populate and shape themselves.
In addition to the construction system for both systems, there are changes to the login system for PS4 or to the leaders for PC on the Planetside-“We-are-working-on-this” road map.

Especially the appearance of some heroes and their abilities is getting a significant facelift: Many characters will receive new animations or improved physics reactions. Above all, Jaina’s Water Elemental and the Living Bomb as well as gravity loss from Kael’thas look significantly better. You can find an overview of all visual improvements in this video:

The undead warrior Kleiner has undergone numerous talent changes. Many have been removed without replacement, but many others have been improved. Stitches now has more health than before (570 more in total at level 20) and can use Devour more frequently (which heals more due to increased health).
Tyrande heals rarely – her “Victory Column” is much feared, often tearing apart entire teams.
The High Priestess of Elune Tyrande is thrilled about improved healing performance. Her heroic ability Shadow Mimic no longer reveals enemy heroes, instead it places a HoT on all allies and heals them again at the end of the duration for a significant amount. Although her healing performance is still behind other supporters, she can compensate for this through damage dealt.
Diablo long lived up to his reputation as a “gank warrior,” but has been gradually weakened in past patches. Now the developers are reversing course and restoring his former strength. All basic abilities deal a little more damage and Shadow Strike has a 15% longer range. The passive ability Black Soulstone now provides more benefits – especially health points.
Changes in the shop – New bundles and price reductions
As usual, the latest patch also brings numerous package offers to the shop, mostly a hero in connection with a specific mount.
Bargain hunters with a lot of gold can look forward to: Chen and Tyrael will be reduced in both gold and real money price. The warrior Pandaren now costs only 7,000 gold coins, while the celestial champion costs only a measly 4,000 gold. Those looking for cheap warriors should strike now (Ha, pun!).
Who has the wooden PC?
For me, the best change is the fact that you now get information about other players during loading screens. This way you can see their selected portrait (and finally show off with it!) as well as their progress in loading the map. From now on, there are no more riddles about who has the wooden PC or whose hamster hasn’t been fed again…
When exactly the patch will be released is still uncertain. However, since Lt. Morales is supposed to be released on October 6 according to data miners, a release of the update this week is likely.
WildStar is now a Free2Play MMO. The change took place at 6 AM.
If you are reading this, you can log in for free to the Free2Play MMORPG WildStar. The switch from a subscription model to a Free2Play model happened at 6:00 AM this morning. At 6 AM our time, it is just midnight on the East Coast of the USA, hence the timing.
After a successful launch last summer, WildStar unfortunately ran out of steam quickly, making a Free2Play transition necessary.

Free2Play fans can look forward to a title developed under AAA conditions with a high budget and great effort. The result has been impressive: WildStar is actually a great game with huge potential. At release, there was little criticism, much praise. The Meta-Critic score stands at an impressive 82.
However, the game struggled with several teething problems over the summer, content updates stalled after the release, and players hit walls in the endgame. Ultimately, it simply lacked players.
In recent weeks, developer Carbine cleaned up and revised the game, tearing down the walls that players had crashed into months ago.
WildStar will be the last major Free2Play MMORPG in 2015
WildStar is, after Skyforge, the last major date for fans of Free2Play MMORPGs this year. Before the next title , Blade and Soul, really kicks off, it will already be 2016. Perhaps now is the hour of the Chuas.
So, have fun in the Nexus, you cupcakes. May this second attempt go better than the first time!
