In Hearthstone , the new May season starts on May 1st. The card back that players can earn this time is themed around the Ninja Ogre.
A famous ogre villain is already known from World of Warcraft: Dagg, a master of stealth. Many might not have found him as he is incredibly good at hiding. But not him, but the Ninja Ogre is the focus of Blizzard’s card back this May. Players must reach rank 20 in ranked mode to earn it at the end of the month: Not really challenging.
For a month, the Evolve players on PS4 and PC had to wait, but now there is finally new map content. The “Broken Hill Mine” and the “Broken Hill Foundry” have been unlocked through a micropatch. Previously, they were only available on Xbox One due to an exclusivity deal.
While the Mine is built deep within the cave complex as expected, the Foundry is the associated processing industrial area and offers a bit of variety from the previously wilder maps. Both maps are available in the regular “Hunt” mode as well as in the Evacuation campaign, where they even bring new campaign effects.
Lots to shoot this weekend
If you are not going on a May tour, you might want to participate in the weekend challenge. This time, it is required to land a total of 2,000,000 headshots with Assault Parnell to unlock the “Predator” skin for all participants. If the goal is exceeded and an impressive 2.8 million headshots on monsters are achieved, all Assaults will even get the complete “Predator” skin set. To qualify for obtaining the skins, it is sufficient to play one round during the weekend, regardless of which character you choose.

The survival MMO H1Z1 is getting a new patch today. This will wipe the servers and bring female player models. However, the survivors are most excited about the improvement of the base security.
With a one-day delay, the new patch for H1Z1 arrives. The servers are expected to be down between 12:00 and 14:00 today, May 1st. The planned connection to the Steam Marketplace has been postponed to next week. With the patch on May 7th, they aim to improve and repair existing features, rather than introduce new ones. The next one is supposed to be a so-called quality-of-life patch.
However, this does not apply to the update on May 1st. For today’s patch, the introduction of a female player model has been planned, along with a complete player and world wipe. The female models currently come with relatively few voice options, which the developers plan to improve later. Additionally, there will be melee weapons and a t-shirt for everyone after the restart.
The players on reddit are most excited about the changes to the base building. Here, the radius in which players cannot build anything around a base has been increased. Unless they are the owners of the foundation or in a group with the owner. In the past, attacking players had crafted items as a kind of “ladder” to bypass the owner’s defenses via such makeshift constructions.
If “homeowners” do not log in for 2 weeks or delete their character on the server, the base is considered “free” and can be claimed by others. Biofuel and ethanol now deal only half the damage to structures with the patch.
In the upcoming “Content Drop 5” for WildStar, also known by the title “INVASION: Nexus”, the new holo wardrobe feature will finally come into use. Colleague Kelzam from wildstar-core.com has taken the effort to thoroughly test the advanced fashion assistant.
Plenty of Space, Few Restrictions
So far, costumes in WildStar have always been a bit cumbersome. You had to acquire the respective armor pieces on each character and then trek over to the costume NPC in the capital.
The holo wardrobe will always be available and can be used from anywhere! Up to 350 different items can be stored, dyed, and exchanged there. To add an armor piece to the collection, you just have to click on it and pay a small fee (about 20 silver) and the item is unlocked – across the entire account! So, you can let all your twinks run around in the legendary armor of the main character, at least visually.
The only restriction exists for faction-dependent armor; otherwise, as usual, even a delicate Esper can wear the heavy armor of a Tech Pioneer. Dyeing also works smoothly through the new interface – colors are still unlocked for individual characters and not for the account. Nevertheless, this has once again made a Protostar employee redundant and made players’ lives easier.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Xur, Agent of the Nine, is also working on May 1st. Starting at 11:00 AM, he will be in the Tower offering exotic goods. We present his offerings with video and images; revealing his location and the quality of the goods.
A day off of work is not something Xur is entitled to. Although he nominally works a full 48 hours, as everyone knows, he sneaks away to the break room as soon as no one is watching and lets the tadpoles dance with all the strange coins he has scammed in the past months.
Xur’s offerings are mysterious, just like his origin. He always talks about “the Nine.” What exactly they are is something no one has figured out yet. Wild legends surround them. Some believe “the Nine” are the remaining artificial intelligences that have hidden themselves in the rings of Saturn. Others think of a kind of “conclave of darkness.” According to this theory, the strange coins serve a sinister purpose, allowing the Guardians to bring about their own doom in their greed for better equipment. Like much in Destiny, we simply do not know.
All about Xur’s Offerings on Friday, May 1, until Sunday, May 3
When does Xur come and when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, May 1st, at 11:00 AM in the Tower. He stays there for 48 hours, leaving again on May 3rd at 11:00 AM.
Where is the fiend located this time?
Xur is located by the Vanguard’s merchants. Our friends from ProNDC will guide you in the video. http://youtu.be/fPEB8t6Vj3s
What do the numbers in parentheses mean?
These are the current values of this specific version of an exotic armor piece in Xur’s offering. The values can vary within certain limits; the higher, the better.
Which weapons and armor does Xur have this week?
This week, Xur sells the auto rifle “Hard Light” for 23 strange coins.
For Titans, he has the DLC gloves Ruins Wings (94/101) on offer.
Hunters can look forward to the DLC gloves “Don’t Touch Me” (grim 76/81) (or not).
Warlocks are blessed with the chest armor “Heart of Praxis Fire.” (135/145) For all armor pieces, Xur wants 13 strange coins.
Xur also has an exotic glove engram on offer.
Which weapons and armor can he upgrade? And should I do that?
Generally, one should probably not upgrade weapons and armor anymore at this moment. With the DLC “House of Wolves,” one needs exotic shards to upgrade to 365/42 – which are also currently needed to reach 331/36. So the question is not so relevant at the moment: Most players probably have already upgraded everything they really want.
It might be worth it if an armor piece had particularly good values. It seems like with the DLC, one can really upgrade the existing item. Currently, one is rather exchanging it. But information about this is still quite nebulous.
These are the armors Xur can upgrade this week
This week it has decent values of 150/161: Wappen von Alpha Lupi in the Titan edition
For Hunters Weak Head Radar (94/101)
and gloves “Ahamkara’s Spine” (93/99)
For Titans the helm “An Unyielding Skullfort” (102/109)
This time, Hearthstone takes on “Age of Ultron.” It is an age full of heroes, as they say, and make reference to Hearthstone: these are also the heroes of Warcraft – so why not put them in another costume?
The Haunted Creeper is Spider-Man, colleague Sludge Belcher becomes the Hulk, Blingtron turns into Ultron, can you identify the others?
In the MMO shooter Destiny players get a taste of patch 1.2.0. It is expected to arrive shortly before the next DLC “House of Wolves.”
This week Destiny focuses on PvP. This is the piece of the next DLC “House of Wolves” that will be extensively presented this week.
What Patch 1.2.0 changes in Destiny’s Crucible
In the Weekly Update, Community Manager DeeJ outlines the changes that patch 1.2.0 will bring for everyone, not just for players who purchase House of Wolves:
The “Spawn-Locking” issues in Iron Banner will be fixed
The first Crucible match of the day will give a new “Reward Package” (according to IGN, this can contain Glimmer, Light particles, or Trial Coins that can be exchanged for buffs in Trials of Osiris)
Reputation and tokens will be doubled in the Crucible
In Iron Banner, there is a chance to get Etheric Light at levels 3 and 5. This is the item needed for upgrading legendary weapons and armor (yesterday we thought this would be a guaranteed reward)
And the three maps Pantheon, Cauldron, and Skyforge, which came with the last DLC, are now available to everyone
Exclusive T-Shirt, Shader, and Emblem for Nepal Relief
Bungie has launched a relief campaign for the victims of the earthquake in Nepal. They offer a T-shirt in the Bungie store. In addition to the shirt in three variants and various sizes (the men’s shirt is available in eight sizes, for instance), people who wish to donate here will also receive an exclusive in-game shader and emblem. Those who pre-order now until May 24th will receive these items later this summer.
Problem for us Europeans: The shipping costs are more than double the price of the shirt. 1000 T-shirts have already been sold.
Continuing as planned, Destiny will have the next live stream on Wednesday, May 6th, at 8:00 PM. This will cover the PvE activity “Prison of Elders.” Everyone will be happy about this, who has been inundated with PvP information this week and has no idea about the game mode.
The fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has presumably addressed the community’s concerns and has more strictly regulated the planned experience point potions.
About a month ago an image surfaced that data miners had found. It showed an EXP booster, a potion that promised 50% more EXP. This caused a bit of excitement. Players were mainly concerned that it could have an impact in “PvP” if players progressed significantly faster than everyone else. Overall, there were also concerns at that time that the game might tilt towards a “pay to progress” direction due to the cash shop.
Before
Now the same potion has been posted again by a data miner. However, it now has significant restrictions. It can no longer be used by players who have already reached veteran rank. So it can only be used in the first leveling phase up to 50.
After
A Zenimax employee spoke up in the thread in the English-speaking part of the official forum and reiterated that this is “datamining”. Therefore, it is neither live nor official and can be changed at any time. However, they appreciate the feedback. The community in the official forum mostly reacted with relief.

In the fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2, the current classes receive a promotion with the expansion Heart of Thorns. The new specialization of the Mesmer is introduced first. He becomes the time mage Chronomancer.
The Mesmer has always been the class in Guild Wars 2 that could not be explained to someone without any knowledge of the game in just a half-sentence. And even in the future, this will remain the case. The Mesmer becomes the Chronomancer, allowing him to use a Shield and the effect “Efficacy“. This reduces the cooldown time of skills. He can also share this effect with teammates. This means he will serve as a sort of “faster skill reuse” buffer.
In addition to some new tricks, the Chronomancer can also place a time well that pulses three times and triggers different effects depending on the type of well, both defensive and offensive. The wells are expected to have a relatively long cooldown.
With the new F5 ability, the Chronomancer shatters his illusions and switches to another timeline, can exhaust himself here, and when he returns to “normal time”, he will be restored to exactly how he was before his time travel. The more illusions he shatters, the longer he remains in the other phase.
This is still all a bit theoretical at the moment; we have a video for you, and ArenaNet promises to show the Chronomancer in action soon.

Ragnarok Online was one of the cult MMORPGs about ten years ago. Its simple game mechanics and many freedoms found many fans. However, the official successor disappointed, which is why much hope is now placed on Tree of Savior.
The MMORPG is being developed by the former creators of Ragnarok Online. And they want to revive the game feeling of back then. Just a glance at the screenshots evokes the feeling that this is a game that is truly the spiritual successor to Ragnarok Online. Additionally, there is a job system that should make fans’ hearts flutter.
In Tree of Savior, you first create an adorable anime hero from four basic classes. But that is far from all. During your adventures, which you experience from an isometric perspective just like in Ragnarok Online, you improve your character and can switch to 80 different jobs. So there is plenty of variety in the MMO. The system offers a lot of freedoms. Do you want to continue to develop the existing class or learn new skills and switch to another job? The switch is possible every 15 levels. This should be well thought out, as it is not possible to return to the old class. It’s up to you whether you want to play a specialist or a versatile hero.
Searching for a Tree
Together with friends, you explore the vast fantasy world, which is facing an invasion of monsters. The divine protector tree (Tree of Savior) mysteriously disappeared, which is why the monsters now threaten the entire population. You fight these creatures and use your skills wisely. Teamplay also plays a crucial role – especially in confrontations with the gigantic and particularly dangerous boss enemies. There are also many quests where you earn experience points. This way, your hero gradually levels up.
The current level cap is at 500, so you will need some time to reach the endgame. This consists of hunting for even more boss monsters and PvP tournaments where you can compete against other players. Open PvP is not planned. You should not expect too much from the quests. Tree of Savior does not aim to impress with a complex and exciting story, but rather through the interaction of gamers, teamplay, battles, and dungeons. In those, you must also be cautious not only of monsters but also of nasty and deadly traps.
Crafting and trading are also possible. Tree of Savior relies on an unusual control scheme, as the mouse is not needed in the game. Only the keyboard is used; alternatively, you can also use a controller. Currently, a beta is taking place in Korea. An English version is also available, but it has only been partially translated so far. When the MMORPG will be released is not yet known. The international closed beta is expected to start in May.
http://youtu.be/pjZCASDQZ-o
Andreas says: I spent countless hours in Ragnarok Online. The carefree feeling with the many possibilities simply invited you to keep playing. I am therefore very much looking forward to a successor – even if it is only a spiritual successor. Tree of Savior seems to combine exactly the things that were good in Ragnarok Online and introduce some innovations that one simply expects from a modern MMO.
However, it will probably still be more of a niche title, which is mainly due to the presentation and control. Controlling cute anime heroes from an isometric perspective using the keyboard simply seems outdated. It also seems to me that the game mechanics are a bit too focused on the Asian market. 500 levels sound like a lot of grinding – just like in Ragnarok Online. But this game is aimed exactly at those fans, which is why all fans of Ragnarok Online can already do a little happy dance.

Today at 5:30 PM, the latest version of the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar, Pre-Alpha 17, will start.
As the name suggests, this is still a very early version that hasn’t even reached alpha status yet. Accordingly, not all features are included, and one should not expect a stable product in terms of balancing and bugs. In terms of story, for example, there is practically nothing included, apart from a few smaller quests to test the quest system.
Pre-Alpha 17 mainly focuses on optimization, as Shroud of the Avatar recently transitioned from the Unity 4 to the Unity 5 engine. Many elements need to be adjusted. Additionally, Unity 5 allows for some new features that the developers want to bring into the game. These include Speedtree trees and new shaders to improve the graphics. As previously reported, Release 17 is the first to integrate player towns. PaxLair is the first to do so, with more to follow over time. Additionally, the crafting system has been revised, where events now appear in the midst of crafting, making things more exciting. New monsters, as well as street signs and many other graphic elements like fences or visually revamped instances, are also part of the innovations. Furthermore, a new camera system on the world map is being tested, and the feedback from players is eagerly awaited. Improved loading times and many other small details are also included.
Andreas says: Shroud of the Avatar is taking more concrete forms. Although the MMORPG is not yet even in alpha phase, it is already quite playable. With each release, further progress is made. Even though the game contains many elements that are not typical for an MMO – such as the different game modes and the division into a world map and scenes/instances – it plays fresh and differently. The fact that the community can already actively participate in such an early development phase and visibly change the game through feedback is also noticeable with almost every release. I certainly enjoy being part of every release.
The MMO shooter Destiny is getting four new Crucible maps with the next DLC “House of Wolves”. One of them will be exclusive to PlayStation players. Additionally, with “House of Wolves,” the old “Darkness Rising” maps are now available for everyone to play in the normal playlists.
Yesterday, “Burning Shrine” was the focus of the Destiny live stream. The other maps were not shown to us. However, they were shown to the YouTubers, who have already visited Bungie. One of them, probably the biggest Datto, has already seen and played the four new Crucible maps and presents them in a video series. He was likely only allowed to do so after the live stream was over.
The 4 new Crucible maps coming to Destiny with House of Wolves are:
Black Shield is set on the Martian moon Phobos. However, it resembles Mars with the Cabal. Datto likes that the map is symmetrical, with small stealth paths. He predicts intense battles, especially around point B. No weapon has a clear advantage here. Inside, rocket launchers and shotguns are favored, while outside, other weapons come into play.
Thieves’ Den on Venus is rather a claustrophobic map with tight spaces. There’s little open area, so snipers are at a disadvantage. The many access points to point B allow for flanking and surprise attacks. According to Datto, this is likely a map that favors unconventional tactics like shotgun + blink.
The third new map Widow’s Court on Earth is a scene change. A relatively large map set in a decaying small town with a church. The layout of the map resembles previous ones in Destiny, so it is not very symmetrical. It is likely to please snipers with long sightlines. Datto has also identified a spot that he calls Sharpshooter Heaven, from where almost the entire map can be controlled.
The PlayStation-exclusive map is set on Mars: Timekeeper is its name. It is a relatively small map. Spots A and B are about 40 meters apart, and players can shoot at each other from these spots. Spot B, on the other hand, is a death zone that should only be entered to capture it and then: get out quickly. The map’s many small alleys and approaches lend themselves to surprising opponents and catching them off guard.
Here in the video, you can see the 4 maps overview with commentary or a longer match without commentary that takes place on one of the maps:

The maps from the first DLC are now available for everyone
Important information: Maps that came with the last DLC “Darkness Rising” are now freely available and in the normal rotation. So they are now available even if you haven’t purchased the first DLC. There wasn’t a PlayStation-exclusive Crucible map last time.

In the South Korean sandpark MMORPG Black Desert, a female version of the Blader, an Eastern sword fighter, has surprisingly been released as the eighth class.
Originally, the Wizard was planned as the new eighth class, but now the “Female Blader” is being added instead. According to reports, it is a standalone class that, while related to the “Blader” and sharing some skills, also sets its own unique accents.

Everything is a bit strange in Black Desert at the moment. At least we do not know whether these “new classes” are a sign that the gender lock is being lifted, or at least acknowledging that there might be a problem with it in other regions. Or if they will stick with the current path and just keep introducing new classes.
The Timewalker dungeons will not be able to turn back the clock 8 years
But it’s not working out quite right. There are difficulties. The lead designer of WoW, Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas, admits this as well. Players will not be able to play and feel like they did back then.
Players long for the game experience Shattered Halls from 2007 back, Hazzikostas wrote in a post to the fans: “The Timewalker dungeons will not be able to deliver that. Sorry.”
Because the experience back then did not result from the design of the dungeons, but from the limitations of the classes. Back then, a Protection Warrior constantly had to tab through enemies and build aggro. DPS had to hold back drastically due to the danger of “overnuking” and WoW back then was a completely different game than it is today.
To evoke that feeling again today, the dungeons would have to be completely revamped or player abilities significantly restricted: That is not what they want. The Timewalker dungeons are not designed for that.
However, the dungeons in WoW are supposed to be harder than they currently are
They are only supposed to offer more variety during leveling and show players the “old” dungeons. However, they are also not satisfied with the way they currently function. For example, pets are not properly downscaled and tear everything apart as “level 100 in level 70 dungeons” on the test server.
Overall, the dungeons are also too quickly over. Some enemies die before they could even show their mechanics. They will work on that.
Yesterday, the F2P MMO “Dragon’s Prophet” received a content patch that should provide players with some entertaining hours again. Not only has the current level cap been raised to level 105, but a completely new zone has also been introduced, where there are numerous tasks to tackle.
Sitheran, the “Gate to Evil”
Starting at level 102, all veterans can dive into the new area “Sitheran” to take on the resident Shax and Blood Devils. However, no one will feel truly at home in the dark lands, as the region is almost overloaded with enemies. In addition to plenty of quests, two new adventure dungeons, and even a new raid, fresh dragons are also waiting to be tamed in the new zone. For those who find that not enough, they should be satisfied at the latest with the new armor pieces that can be obtained during their stay.

The fifth week of the “Blackrock” expansion of Hearthstone has begun, and the last wing is now opening. This time, it goes into the “Secret Laboratory” to defeat the last four opponents that Nefarian can throw at the adventurers – including himself (once again). In terms of story, the Secret Laboratory corresponds to the “Blackwing Descent” from World of Warcraft, which is why the mechanics of the bosses are also heavily based on their MMORPG counterparts.
Final Stretch: 4 bosses that require solid planning
First, you face the Omnotron Defense System. As in WoW, the 4 colleagues are activated in different sequences and have different effects on the battlefield. Arcanotron grants both players +2 spell damage, while Toxitron deals 1 damage point to all other minions every turn.
Next, you need to defeat Maloriak, the head alchemist of Blackrock. His passive ability ensures that all minions start with swapped health and damage values, turning harmless 1/7 tanks into serious threats. The penultimate opponent is the blind dragon Atramedes, who grew stronger in the raid the louder the players were – in Hearthstone, this means that each card played improves the dragon’s weapon. One or two “Acidic Sludge” could be useful…
The final boss is, of course, Nefarian himself, who dominates the battlefield with a whole lot of his own cards. Especially in heroic mode, you can expect many attempts if you want to put the lord of Blackrock in his place.
New Cards: The Highlights at the End
Truly effective dragon decks will probably only emerge from this week. For the finale, Blizzard has saved four dragons, which you will see more frequently now.
The “Vulcan Dragon” becomes cheaper for each minion that has died this turn. If you have cleared the board effectively, you might be able to play the 6/4 monster for free.
The “Drakonid Crusher” is quite solid with its 6/6 for 6 mana, but becomes a true monster with an additional +3/+3 if the opponent has less than 15 HP.
Buffable classes like Priest, Druid, and Paladin will benefit from the “Dragoncaster“, which has stats of 3/5 for 4 mana and gains +1/+1 each time the owner casts a spell on it – including all “Spare Parts” from the previous expansion.
The “Corruptor of Blackwing” is not a dragon, but benefits if you have one in hand. Its battle cry ensures that the 5/4 creature deals three damage to a target of your choice for 5 mana.
As a legendary card, there is the black dragon “Nefarian“, which costs 9 mana in line with the other great dragons and has a respectable 8/8. Additionally, it gives the player two random spells from the opponent’s class. Finally, you can get back at the priests for their mind control!
Finally, paladins receive their class challenge and thus the card “Devout Watcher“, which allows the owner to draw 2 cards for 5 mana. Each minion killed in that turn reduces the cost by 1, which can quickly lead to free card drawing with the many recruits of the Silver Hand.
Do you already have great deck ideas in mind? What card combinations do you find particularly interesting? And most importantly: How did you enjoy the adventure?

In Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard may cautiously hint at the next battleground. It seems that this time, Diablo and Tyrael, or rather their universe, are at the center. Or are they just commenting on the fight of the century and outshining it with the fight of eternity?
It’s hard to say what to make of it, whether it’s a pure PR gimmick alluding to the boxing match this weekend or if there’s more behind it, perhaps a new battleground for Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard tweeted the following photo from the HotS account:
This shows the “Fight of Eternity”: Tyrael against Diablo. On May 2, the Mayweather – Pacquiao boxing match will take place in the USA, which some consider the fight of the century. However, the Twitter photo also shows the “June 2”: The release date of Heroes of the Storm. And it could be that, on this occasion, a Diablo-based battleground is being introduced. There were certainly clear signals from Blizzard at the last Blizzcon regarding this. There, the legions of hell are to clash with those of heaven.

What exactly caused the problem (it surely can’t be the women?), is not disclosed by DGC. However, parts of the new patch are already playable on the test server. With the next update, a server and player wipe will come, then everyone starts over again. Only items directly associated with the players’ accounts will be retained. So it’s kind of like an apocalypse.
Oh: And there will be a T-shirt for everyone who gets wiped out with the stylish new DGC logo.
The MMO shooter Destiny is being revamped with the DLC “House of Wolves” for its PvP, the Crucible. Here, the focus is mainly on how loot is distributed.
Now the reason is also known: Bungie had already given an exclusive interview to the US site IGN beforehand. They had already revealed the essential facts before the event. The site then released the information collected after the livestream. Here’s the summary of the most important points:
The Crucible will overall be significantly more lucrative: Bungie doubles reputation gain, tokens, and experience
They are also increasing loot chances: “You will see a lot more blue items. And, I believe, we have introduced 12 new legendary items”, said Crucible lead designer Lars Bakken
The new item “Etheric Light”, which players will need to upgrade legendary items to the new maximum values of 365 damage/42 light, can be found “for sure” at the Iron Banner, you will receive an Etheric Light when you reach Levels 3 and 5 (this does not apply to the current Iron Banner, but only when House of Wolves is out)
When upgrading legendary items, you do not lose any progress, but you must “finish” leveling the weapon if it was not fully upgraded previously
If players complete the daily Crucible task, they receive a kind of faction package that should help with the Trials of Osiris with “Passage Coins”, which can be used to buy the new buffs. There is also a chance for Glimmer and Light particles
The mode “Elimination”, which comes with Trials of Osiris, is also to be introduced as an additional “normal” mode in the Crucible. Here, players can train for serious situations. Or they can just play without pressure if they like the mode
With articles on the new Crucible maps and other details about Trials of Osiris and how loot is distributed there, you can expect more throughout the day.

In the fantasy MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, Update 16 brings a new instance group. It takes place in the city of Osgiliath. The Fellowship is searching for Faramir.
The instances are intended to be a love letter to the old Lord of the Rings Online, as stated by the developers in a dev blog. Players requested it to be “nice and tough,” and that is what they aim to deliver.
There are two instances for 3-players and one for a full group. The instances scale from level 50-100, and they are available at levels 1, 2 and as a challenge. The first level should be achievable by all, they believe: “But on the second level, nothing will be given to you for free.” In the instance cluster, the group looting mode returns.
In the dungeons, players are expected to work their way up from the bottom. The first instance “Sunken Labyrinth” begins in the sewers under Osgiliath. In “the ruined city“, the heroes hunt a stranger in Faramir’s tattered cloak. In “Star Dome“, they face a special Nazgûl, surrounded by an army.
Above all, the secret lies in where Faramir, Boromir’s brother, son of Denethor, has gone. The new instance groups and Update 16 are expected to be released soon.
