ARK: Survival Evolved is currently in Early Access. However, the developers are already planning an expansion that is to be released as a DLC.
Only a few months of downtime
The dino game ARK: Survival Evolved is likely to go down in gaming history as the surprise title of 2015. Within just a few weeks, the game, which is still in Early Access, has already surpassed 1,000,000 players. Apparently, the revenue has been well invested for the future – because already now Jesse Rapczak, the Co-Creative Director of Studio Wildcard, is talking about future plans, which are quite concrete: Just a few months after its release in June 2016, they aim to have the first expansion completed!
It is supposed to include more hours of gameplay and expand the story.
The addon is expected to bring many hours of new gameplay and story.
Fewer updates towards the finish line
At the same time, it has been announced that the game is now in the home stretch of its completion. For this reason, the coming months will bring fewer innovations, and the overall frequency of patches will decrease – they would rather fix existing bugs and make final adjustments.
Like the main game, the expansion is also expected to be offered in Early Access, as they have had good experiences with it and want to keep the direct channel to the community open.
The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV seems to be settling well in South Korea despite a variety of obstacles.
From a European perspective, it may not be on everyone’s radar: But there are also significant differences between the individual markets in Asia. Just as we Germans have different ways of thinking than the French or Italians, the same applies to the Asian markets like Japan or South Korea.
Therefore, there are many reasons why the Japanese MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV could fail in South Korea. Some South Koreans hold historical prejudices against Japan and everything Japanese. Moreover, the MMO gaming industry is firmly in ‘its own’ hands and there is strong belief in the Free2Play model.

In Lord of the Rings Online, there is a new schedule for the server transfer, which proves to be a Herculean task.
The producer of Lord of the Rings Online has spoken out. An initial transfer phase last week had to be interrupted due to “other connection issues” before the majority of the US transfers could begin. The server transfer is proving to be even more complicated and difficult than expected, but there is optimism, and they have learned from initial setbacks and collected data.
New Schedule for the Server Transfers
It is expected that early September new hardware and the data center will be available to conduct some tests on Bullroar. An event is also planned here, which they will reveal more about later.
Between October and November, they believe the new data center and the new hardware will be ready for a complete switch, after which the server transfers will be enabled across all worlds. These are still preliminary plans that may change.
The producer emphasizes again what a gigantic undertaking this transfer is and asks the players for patience.

Those who love healing in World of Warcraft might enjoy a new mobile game: Little Healer simulates the raiding experiences of a healer.
The Unsung Heroes
Healers are the players in almost all MMORPGs who experience the least of the combat. A large part of their time, they are fixated on the small green HP bars of their teammates, switching targets in a matter of seconds to save a reckless comrade from virtual demise. What seems extraordinarily boring and monotonous to some is a fulfilling pastime for others. For this reason, game developer Dmitry Volevodz aka Voley has created his own mobile game. In Little Healer, you take on the role of the (only) competent raid healer and must keep the group alive through multiple boss fights. The game can be downloaded in the app store for iOS or Android . In the game, there are no purchases to be made, so it is completely free.
In addition to an extensive talent system and the selection of several spells, there are numerous mechanics that will be familiar to WoW players: sometimes debuffs need to be managed or certain effects countered by shield spells. The names of the enemies also clearly reveal the developer’s inspiration – for who else could be referred to as “Batchwerk” than the flesh beast from Naxxramas “Patchwerk”?

The fans of SWTOR are longing for new information about Knights of the Fallen Empire and the developers have delivered: Urgent questions about the companions have been answered.
Old Companions Remain – But Not in the Story
Much about KotFE, the next expansion of SWTOR, is still unclear. Many players are particularly concerned about the future of their companions, whom they have gathered over the years. The most pressing questions have now been answered in the official forum, with fans encouraged to ask more questions – provided they remain free of story spoilers. But let’s get to the facts:
Most concerns were unfounded: There are few changes to the old companions, most things are overwhelmingly positive.
All old companions remain. They will not be usable in the story chapters, but can still be summoned outside the plot of the expansion.
Each companion can now fill any role: As a tank, healer, or DPS. This means you can always choose the companion you find interesting, rather than the one you need for a specific role. This system will also be applied to the old content (level 1-60).
Gear for companions will be purely cosmetic. Instead, the stats of the companions will scale with the player’s level and their Presence attribute.
Your companions’ affection will also remain with KotFE. It will not be reset or changed. If Ashara loves and adores you, she will continue to do so with the launch of the expansion.
The developers will answer many more questions in the coming days. We will keep you updated if there is new information.

What to do when you have to wait too long for your opponent in Hearthstone? At least one player has created a creative pastime.
The Fuse in Real Time
Every Hearthstone player knows that they are not only competing against the cards and the skills of the other person, but often also have to undergo a test of patience. Although all players have 75 seconds for their turn – which is enough time to think about their actions, but too little to really disrupt the flow of the game – there are plenty of people who like to let 60 or 70 seconds pass before they do anything at all.
The last 20 seconds of time are symbolized by the obligatory fuse that burns relentlessly from left to right across the screen. A common form of trolling is to wait until the end of each turn to drive the opponent out of the game out of frustration and boredom.
The YouTuber Markytecht is no longer disturbed by this. He simply fills the waiting time with a rather elaborate process that extends the fuse by a few units, but see for yourself:

DRAGO Entertainment has announced the new date for the early access phase of the MMORPG Otherland.
Originally, the early access of Otherland was scheduled to begin on August 26, but the developers decided to postpone the date to deliver a better product. Feedback from the community plays a particularly important role, which they want to implement for the game. Additionally, they plan to offer servers specifically for the EU and the USA at launch. Therefore, the new date for the early access phase is September 10.
More time never hurts
Lucjan Mikociak, CEO of DRAGO Entertainment jokingly explains: “After so many years in development, we thought that a few more days couldn’t hurt. But seriously: We just need a little more time to ensure a smooth early access launch. Especially considering that we will offer servers for both the EU and the USA, which is a feature that has been requested by many players in our growing community.”
Otherland is quite advanced
DRAGO Entertainment expects that the early access phase of Otherland is much further along than what other developers release as early access games. Players can look forward to the eDNA system, which allows cloning of items and NPCs. Housing and PVP will also already be integrated into the early access version. They plan to provide additional content on a regular basis.
Otherland is based on the novels of the same name by author Tad Williams. In the future, people spend most of their time in cyberspace, living in various virtual worlds. You will be able to explore these worlds together with your friends in the MMORPG and experience adventures there. The official launch of Otherland is planned for early 2016. More information about Otherland can be found on the official website or check out the following videos, which showcase the core features:

In the multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront, the first DLC “Battle of Jakku” is introduced. It aims to build synergies with the movie Star Wars: “The Force Awakens”.
What is seen in Battlefront during the Battle of Jakku will be experienced by cinema-goers in the film, at least the relics of the battle will be visible. The cinematic film “The Force Awakens”, which will initiate the third trilogy, takes place 29 years after the “Battle of Jakku”, as Battlefront is based on the first trilogy featuring Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and that strange hairy guy who always hangs around with them.

The first DLC, Jakku, is supposed to provide a “gigantic battle” gameplay-wise – with a clear David-versus-Goliath motif: The massive structures of the Star Destroyer against the tiny ships of the Rebels. The Battle of Jakku will completely surround and captivate players, with action promised to be happening everywhere, according to Electronic Arts.
For pre-order customers of Star Wars Battlefront , the free DLC will be available on December 1st, while others will have to wait one week longer. The film is supposed to hit German cinemas on December 17th.

MMORPGs have not existed for just a few years, there are plenty of them. And although most games have a relatively solid player base and of course everyone plays the “one best” MMO, the games often differ only slightly in essence. Typical mechanics like defeating enemies for quests, farming materials, or the classic power increase when leveling up are part of the general standard. Anyone who has played any MMORPG will be able to navigate almost all other games as well. In short: The games don’t really differ; there is a lack of groundbreaking innovations. Today we ask the question: What does the MMORPG genre need to experience a second golden age?
In their core aspects, most MMORPGs are similar – fighting, looting, crafting.
The complete immersion in a game world like in Sword Art Online is Cortyn’s dream.
Cortyn says: Although every WoW expansion always lures me out from under my stone, hardly any game manages to spark my enthusiasm for MMORPGs as strongly as it did over a decade ago. While my ideas at the moment may be a bit utopian, technology is evolving rapidly. The missing aspect for me is immersion. I long for a world where I can completely immerse myself and lose my connection to reality for a few hours a day. Devices like the Oculus Rift are just a small step on this development path. Even though many will now roll their eyes, I hope that it will be possible someday (for a certain duration and with appropriate safety measures) to log into a game and truly be the character – leaving reality behind for that duration.
Another thing is that fights are losing more and more importance for me in MMOs. This is certainly partly due to the fact that I immensely enjoy role-playing, but aside from that, I wish for more features that are simply of a social nature – and don’t even need a reward. More creative possibilities, inspired by Minecraft or the housing of WildStar, to create independent works with friends. Perhaps I am becoming older more experienced, but I now find peaceful coexistence in a game just as interesting as action-packed battles.
More peace, less violence. At least Cortyn wants more social features instead of fights and grinding.
But now let’s talk about you! What does the MMORPG genre need to experience a second golden age? Which conventions should we break away from or what innovations should a game offer to really excite the masses again? Discuss with us and let us know in the comments!

Many players are unable to log in to The Elder Scrolls Online today, as the mega-servers are down on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Maintenance was conducted just this week.
The problem here likely doesn’t lie with TESO itself, but with the internet structure. There are overall internet difficulties on the East Coast of the USA, which also affects Zenimax, located on the East Coast, and users worldwide are feeling the impact.
Currently, they are working on the issues but cannot yet provide a time frame for when it will be resolved. They are merely posting an internet outage map to show that it is a current problem that isn’t entirely within their control. They also state: We are restarting the mega-servers one by one, which may take a few hours.
Zenimax asks players not to attempt to log in during the next few hours, as this apparently leads to further issues.
Update: The servers are back online.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur, Agent of the Nine, will be at the Tower or the Reef on Friday, August 28th. What exotic weapons and armor will he have this time?
At this point, as in recent weeks, the saying goes: There is really a lot going on in Destiny. At the end of the month, some new print gaming magazines hit the US market, and their editors have spoken with Bungie, bringing new revelations and fresh details to report. Bungie distributes its gifts; they tell one person this, another that, and they talk about something else in streams.
What happens to Xur in Year 2? Will strange coins remain relevant?
Anyway: There are many topics related to Destiny on the agenda, which we will focus on more intensively in the coming days.
But now it’s Xur’s turn. He has had a great run, bringing Gjallarhorn and Thunderlord on two consecutive Fridays, the two exotic weapons that he sells the least. One might wonder what he will have this time. Hopefully, he won’t skimp, the scoundrel.
Oh, and by the way: As a Bungie employee announced a few hours ago, Xur will still like strange coins in “The Taken King.” They will drop from a variety of activities.
All about Xur on August 28th, 29th, and 30th in Destiny
When does Xur come and when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, August 28th, at 11:00 AM. He leaves the world of Destiny on Sunday, August 30th, also at 11:00 AM.
Where is Xur located?
Xur is in the Hangar.

In Guild Wars 2 the elite specialization of the Thief has now been announced: The Daredevil wields a staff and is a true artist of evasion.
The Melee Master of Area Damage
With the expansion Heart of Thorns, all classes in Guild Wars 2 receive so-called elite specializations that significantly change the playstyle of the class and introduce exciting aspects. In addition to new weapons, there are numerous skills that not only look impressive but also affect the battlefield more than ever before. Now the elite specialization of the Thief has been announced: the Daredevil. In short, the staff master is capable of jumping rapidly across the battlefield, evading enemy attacks in various ways, and simultaneously executing devastating area attacks.
The Daredevil quickly deals with his enemies – often entire groups.
The Power of Evasion
Since Thieves traditionally do not have the best HP bars, they need to stay alive in other ways. What better way than precise and agile evasion at the right moment? To this end, the Daredevil can choose from three improved variants that make him even harder to catch in combat.
The Lotus Training ensures that every evasion applies bleeding, torment, and cripple to nearby enemies – thus damaging and slowing them, allowing the Thief to escape unhindered.
The Bouncing Evader transforms the normal evasion into a targeted jump that deals high damage at the impact location, making it useful for both attack and retreat.
The upgrade Unhindered Fighter increases the range of the evasion roll and cleanses the Thief of cripple and chill effects, allowing him to push forward immediately.
Endless Tenacity
Starting September 2, the Daredevil can be tested.
But these are not all the innovations that await the Daredevil. He will receive a wide repertoire of additional abilities that will allow him to participate in combat longer. With Channeling Elan, he will be able to regenerate health and endurance or use Palm Strike to stun the opponent and make him vulnerable to certain follow-up attacks.
Particularly noteworthy is the elite ability. This attack consists of 3 skills that first daze the opponent, then knock them down, and finally deal massive damage. If the enemy is already in a wounded state, he dies instantly.
Anyone who wants to see all the details about the Daredevil should read the official blog or already try it out next weekend during the second beta weekend of Heart of Thorns – at least if you have access.

Major changes are coming to the MMO shooter Destiny . The next patch is expected to be released in just a few weeks. Also, the weekly routine will change significantly in Year 2.
Patch 2.0 will be released on September 8. The patch is expected to bring some of the changes we have talked about in recent weeks.
How much of this will be active immediately and how many changes will come with the launch of “The Taken King” on September 15 is still unknown. If anything, changes to the game systems will be active on September 8, but no new game content yet. In an older tweet, Game Director Luke Smith revealed that in Patch 2.0, among other things:
the new Ghost
the new leveling system (but likely no new maximum level)
and the “Questification” of Destiny will come.
The NorthGhost, Leveling revamp and the previously-announced Questification of content will apply to all of Destiny in the 2.0 update
How much space do you need for Patch 2.0 in Destiny
Bungie announced in the Weekly Update how much hard drive space console players need to free up:
On Xbox 360 10 GB
On PS3 16 GB
On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One 18 GB
Nightfall Strike will be less punishing, loses EXP bonus
The weekly Nightfall, the Nightfall Strike, will no longer have the “If everyone dies, you go back to orbit and start over” penalty with The Taken King. Instead, players will have a 30-second cooldown after dying – just like in a normal raid. They didn’t want the Nightfall to be played too cautiously; they’d prefer Guardians in Destiny to be a bit reckless.
The reputation and EXP bonus will no longer exist, as it has been put on hold. However, Bungie has adjusted the sources of reputation and EXP in Destiny accordingly. With the bonus, there was pressure to tackle the Nightfall Strike as early in the week as possible. This is no longer desired.
For the Nightfall Strike, players will need to be level 40. A new feature on chest armor will protect against elemental damage. Particularly useful when a specific burn is active.
Instead of a heroic strike, there will be a playlist with The Taken King
The heroic weekly strike, as players know it, will be removed. Instead, there will now be the “Vex heroic playlist.” To participate, players must be level 40.
For the first three weekly heroic strikes per account and week, there will be additional legendary marks.
Each character will receive a legendary engram for their first successful heroic strike.
As announced, quests will also be introduced for PvP: There will be daily and weekly quests. Those who successfully complete the weekly quests will receive rewards at Nightfall Strike level. Overall, rewards have been increased and made account-wide so that players only need to play with one Guardian in PvP. The aim is for Destiny to remain real-life compatible and not feel like a second job.
This time, patch 2.3.0 brings some variety: Above all, Kanai’s Cube will add another dimension to the game, but beware: The Cube is powerful, so you should at least inform yourself roughly beforehand to avoid the worst accidents.
And the new torment levels, set items, and the zone Ruins of Sescheron will surely also provide variety in Diablo 3.

In the MMO shooter Destiny there is new information about the exotic weapons and armor from the first year of Destiny.
Hot topic: “What will happen to the exotic weapons and armor from the first year of The Taken King?” Last week, there was information: All the exotic items that have been collected will go into a collection. They will be available as blueprints and can later be replicated. But only some exotic items will receive a “Year 2” version at the new level. Other weapons and armor will remain at their old level, which is significantly weaker.
The weapons and armor would then be “no longer relevant”, would be outdated, and would hardly play a role in the daily life of Destiny.
It is now known what some have already suspected. In a print article from the gaming magazine “Edge”, it is stated, that the “other exotic items from Year 1” are gradually expected to receive Year 2 editions as well. This is consistently reported by some online sources.
Currently, there is no further information on the topic. We do not know when the remaining weapons will come, whether for DLCs, or if they will follow another schedule in Destiny, nor do we know which weapons and armor are affected or if “all exotic items” will actually come. At Planetdestiny, it is suspected that very powerful items from Year 1 will then come in a slightly toned-down Year 2 version as Bungie does not want to have overly strong items anymore.
Pieces of the puzzle fit together, slowly everything makes sense
But this new information now clarifies some questions. The “blueprint” collection now seems truly sensible and necessary. Players can confidently dismantle their Year 1 items after September 15 (not before!) knowing that the blueprint is saved. They will then be able to obtain new Year 2 editions of the Year 1 items when they are unlocked by Bungie.
For Bungie, this is of course an interesting option, also to keep interest in the game alive. They now have numerous pieces of armor and weapons that players already know and have built a relationship with, in reserve, and can bring them into the game unexpectedly. It will be interesting to see in what form they do this, whether they save them for DLCs or just release them.
Sure is the arrival of Xur, which is scheduled for 11:00 AM on Friday, August 28. We will report on it.

We know this because for a brief moment the US site “IGN” apparently had a story live and tweeted about it. Everything has since been deleted. The information is likely still under an “embargo.” This means that selected journalists have information in advance and write their articles, but cannot publish them until a certain date has been reached.
But trying to capture this again is about as easy as putting toothpaste back in the tube.
The site “Gamezone” captured the tweet from IGN (above). They stated that players can play the base game Guild Wars 2 for free and that raids are coming. Currently, you need a full version to play Guild Wars 2; there are no monthly fees.
It has already been heavily discussed that the expansion “Heart of Thorns” is supposed to cost the same for subscribers as it does for newcomers, so the base game would also be “freely available.”
Instead of Free2Play, it Looks Like a Trial Mode
Data miners have already spoken out. They found data about a “trial mode” a while ago, where players can play up to level 15 without the base game and are subject to numerous restrictions. Whether this has anything to do with IGN’s “play the base game for free” is unknown.
What the deal is with the raids is also a mystery.
The information situation is unclear.
This video trailer, taken from the IGN article, is circulating on YouTube:

In Guild Wars 2, the next beta weekend is coming soon, where players can influence the development.
Round 2 of Player Feedback
ArenaNet has made it clear multiple times that the beta weekends of Guild Wars 2 are much more than just a pure PR stunt. Unlike many other game studios that use their beta tests only as advertising campaigns or stress tests, the developers behind Heart of Thorns want to listen to the feedback from the player community. Those who have secured access to the beta weekends can check out the content of the first expansion starting from September 4. Besides the first chapter of the story, friends of hearty PvP matches can once again throw themselves into the fortress mode and take castles from each other.

While the beta weekends are limited in duration and scope, they do not want to take away the players’ anticipation or reveal all the secrets too early. Instead, the focus is on a “general understanding of how everything works and feels.”

The head of Trion Worlds, Scott Hartsman, spoke about the partnership with the developer of ArcheAge, XLGames, and the negotiations regarding the controversial payment model in ArcheAge.
Trion Worlds CEO Scott Hartsman
In an interview with mmorpg.com, Scott Hartsman, the head of Trion Worlds, discussed the negotiations with XLGames, the Korean developers behind ArcheAge. The focus was mainly on the payment model. Trion Worlds distributes ArcheAge in the West. In recent months, they have faced accusations from players and former players about it having an unfair payment model that strongly favors players willing to invest a lot of money: the so-called whales.
In the interview, Hartsman presents himself as an “advocate” of a particularly generous Free2Play payment model, naming their own games Rift, Defiance and especially the initially developed as Free2Play Trove as examples for a “Free, Fun, Fair” model.
When negotiating a payment model for ArcheAge with XLGames, they proposed a typical “Chinese model.” This caused a panic at Trion Worlds: “Holy crap, you need to change that. This will never work here,” was the reaction.
From this emerged a “give and take” partnership, where no one gets exactly what they want. At XLGames, they have to keep an eye on 6 regions and their own interests. At Trion Worlds, they are the advocate for the players, striving for generous solutions. Sometimes they achieve significant victories in this regard, and on other days the other side wins, then the economic reality catches up with you, the business of distributing games. Then no victories are achieved.
They are proud that XLGames has embraced the path of Trion Worlds and is now acting more generously and in line with Trion Worlds’ interests worldwide, Hartsman continues.
Our Perspective
Mein MMO believes: The partnership between Trion Worlds and XLGames has made it to our MMO Fail of the Year 2014. For some time now, there has been an impression that Trion Worlds wants to distance itself from the payment model and push the blame to Korea. But not “obviously”, rather they repeatedly emphasize how great the partnership is. However, unfortunately, it seems that this or that is not possible because … yes, Korea and so on, but they tried.
Of course, Hartsman is right: This is a partnership, and compromises must be made. However, the results were foreseeable when they entered into this deal with XLGames, which apparently did not align with their own beliefs and ideas.
Trion Worlds has learned from the crisis: In the next deal with a Korean developer, they negotiated significantly better conditions. The massive rush that ArcheAge experienced directly after its release in September to November seems to have put Trion Worlds in a much stronger and more stable financial position. Especially the costly founder packages were very popular.

When players log in, they are sent on a quest. This leads to Act III, where in the top right of the Ruins of Sescheron, there is a new area at the end of which “Kanai’s Cube” awaits. Once you have it, 7 recipes become available. For each one, items must be placed in the cube, then you press the “Transmute” button and something happens.
The most important thing is: The “Ancient” property is NOT “protected.” If you put ancient items in, expect that “normal” items will come out on the other end. This is really important. Don’t put in “ancient items” and expect to get something better out.
Our friend IllaChilla shows you how to access the cube and how to use it.

As you can see, it’s always about putting materials directly into the cube.
With the cube, you can reforge Legendaries, as if they were “dropped new.” Set pieces can be transformed into other pieces of the same set. You can remove the level restriction, convert rare items into legendary ones.
The most important function is “Tal Rasha’s Archive.” With this, players can destroy legendary items and extract a property, which then unlocks a slot in a “catalog” of properties. You access this catalog by clicking on one of the 3 symbols directly below the cube.
These properties from the catalog can then be activated, granting 3 bonuses, one for weapons, armor, and rings. Definitely the most interesting property of the cube.

In ARK, things are getting concrete: A release is aimed for next June, and in the meantime, they are introducing a chaotic dino.
Next Year on Consoles Too
Studio Wildcard has unveiled its future plans for ARK: Survival Evolved. Accordingly, the game is to be fully released in 10 months, in June 2016. From then on, not only players on Steam will be able to purchase the full version (currently, it is still in “Early Access”), but also owners of a PS4 or Xbox One will enjoy the complete dino survival experience. A preview version for Xbox One is set to launch this winter.

Until it finally happens, time in ARK certainly does not stand still. In the latest update, a new dinosaur has been added, the Doedicurus. Visually, it strongly resembles a turtle and definitely benefits from its shell: When it takes damage, it can retreat into its natural protection and become virtually invulnerable. However, it gets particularly funny when players tame the Doedicurus: When used as a mount, it can activate a special spherical form and roll through friends and foes like a bowling ball. This is reminiscent of Sonic – and just as much fun. Please do not ask how the rider fares during this.
