With the upcoming WildStar patch “Invasion on Nexus“, there will be a new adventure “Bay of Betrayal” that is supposed to differ somewhat from previous adventures.
As usual, this adventure is only a simulation, and everything happens only “virtually” in terms of story. The scenario is quickly explained: The leader of the Ascendents, Calidor Antevian, is looking for a new right hand and subjects his acolytes to an extensive test. To infiltrate the Ascendents, you disguise yourself as an acolyte and eliminate your fellow competitors. Since this somewhat fanatical organization relies on Eldan technology, players will also become Techempaths and will be able to control various machines and robots within the adventure.
Customized Difficulty – Faster and Harder
The Bay of Betrayal is supposed to have high replay value, as its difficulty adjusts to the group each time. If a number of your group members have only achieved “Bronze” in this adventure so far, the enemies will also be a bit more lenient and easier to defeat. However, if you are an elite group of “Gold” hunters, then it will be a gauntlet with a high stress factor! However, the mission will also be quicker to complete. No one should expect a lengthy caravan escort.
Fundamentally, the instance is supposed to be a bit more difficult than previous adventures, which is why the loot will also be better and can compete with that of experienced dungeons.
If you want, you can try out the new adventure on the public test realm already, while everyone else will have to wait a while until the release of the new content update. If you want to know more about the MMO, we recommend our themed page on WildStar.

In the superhero and supervillain MMO DC Universe Online (PC, PS3, PS4), the second part of the Halls of Power revolves around the New Gods.
The DC universe is vast: it has developed over decades. Many authors have added their own ideas and characters to the existing ones, some certainly influenced by the zeitgeist and what was financially successful for competitor Marvel at the time.
The associated MMO DC Universe Online strives to do justice to the dimensions of this narrative mosaic. Every 3 months, players jump into a different theme. For instance, in the latest DLC Amazon Fury II, the focus was on the mythologically influenced underworld, as Wonder Woman was in the spotlight. Before that, players could experience cosmic powers in a Green Lantern-themed content pack War of the Light II. In the next DLC “Halls of Power II,” it will be about the “New Gods,” a group of super beings that were first published in the 70s. The first part of this story was told in the summer of 2014.

Super-villain Darkseid is somewhat of a counterpart to Marvel’s Thanatos, although making such a statement might get one stoned. In any case, it is necessary to stop Darkseid. A whole series of new characters will be introduced.
The Free2Play-MMO Cabal 2 is launching a Closed Beta in North America and Europe after a long time. The game has already been out for two and a half years in Korea.
Cabal 2 is a Free2Play-MMO with strong Asian influences. We introduced you to the 6 classes and the basics of the game a few months ago, which with its “flashy” gameplay might remind local players of TERA. By “flashy”, we mean in the genre an exaggerated look with numerous graphic effects and tremors, exaggerated strikes, and similar elements.
Since December 2012, Cabal 2 has been on the market in South Korea, and it took a relatively long time, as with some games from this region, to make its way to the West. In contrast to Blade&Soul, however, it is finally ready to present something: On April 30, it will at least start a Closed Beta. You can register for it through this link and hope for an invitation to the Closed Beta of Cabal 2.

Insiders had announced that the new trailer for “Star Wars Battlefront” would take the internet by storm. Well, it wasn’t that bad, as the internet still ran perfectly. Nevertheless, the numbers are impressive: The video is only one day old and has already garnered over 10 million views through the official channels.
The last few days have been all about the world-famous Star Wars universe. One highlight was the new Star Wars 7 trailer, but the gaming industry also took advantage of the ongoing franchise “Celebration” to show off. The talk is about the Star Wars Battlefront trailer and its information flood. But did the first impressions convince players or does skepticism prevail?
Most are jumping on the hype train from Dice
When looking at the overall mood on YouTube, one answer seems to prevail: Most are excited for a new Star Wars game by the end of the year. But even though over 95% of those who voted gave it a thumbs up, the comments paint a mixed picture. Some are venting their frustrations. While it would be too much to say that the ratings distort the perception, it is true that dissatisfied users tend to express their discontent. Nevertheless, it is quite interesting to examine their motives more closely.
Therefore, we have filtered the most frequently mentioned critical voices. The following quotes come from the Mein MMO community. Perhaps someone will recognize themselves here.
Martin: “No space battles, only 4 planets, no campaign – EA messed up.
Michel: “As long as no real in-game material is shown, I assume it’s pre-rendered scenes. Because in reality, the game will never look that good“
and Andy: “Yes, on PC, it will look like that, but never on the PS4!”.
Jan: “Just a cheap Battlefield clone in Star Wars outfit… Not what I expected.“
Altmetall: “And for that certainly 60€ and just 4?! Maps and at most 40 players“

Dawid states: It’s a shame that there will initially be no space battles – they are naturally part of Star Wars. The question remains whether it would have been too much to maintain a high quality across the board. A small consolation: There will be air battles in the X-Wing and Co. – though on a planetary basis, but perhaps they will make up for that. Dice explained that not everything could be done, even if they had tried – quality comes before quantity. Sounds plausible. However, they have now increased the pressure on themselves that the components of the current game must be even better.
Will the graphics really look like this? This must indeed be doubted given the graphic splendor shown, which at first glance rather resembles a cinematic trailer. It would be too good to be true, wouldn’t it? DICE has already addressed these concerns. They state clearly: This is the in-game graphics and how the game looks on PS4 at the moment. Producer Jesper Nielsen even goes further and says it could be the most beautiful game of all time:
What I can say though, as a personal prediction: I think this will be one of the most beautiful games, if not the most beautiful game, on all three platforms when it launches.
As a Star Wars fan, I am already impressed by the first images, but you can only be sure after the first “demo session”. Personally, I would have liked to see real gameplay. This, he says, will come with time. Well then… Until then, a certain skepticism is in order.
That the largest mode can only accommodate 40 players is also a bit disappointing, especially since rumors beforehand had raised expectations. There was talk of a 64-player mode. This is probably due to Dice, as they recently revealed that they want to aim for 60 FPS on all platforms. Who knows, perhaps battles with fewer players than expected will still feel epic. The decisive factor will be how much the environment is incorporated into the gameplay. Some had wished for an MMO shooter in the style of Planetside 2, which allows over 1000 players on one map. Unfortunately, that will not be the case. Perhaps more Battlefield Star Wars?
It is not so absurd that some elements from the Battlefield series will seem familiar. This can be seen as good or bad. But how does one come to the conclusion that it will be a cheap Battlefield clone? So far, the signs for that are scarce. The developers at DICE emphasize that they are excited to do something new. Not Battlefield, but a true Star Wars Battlefront game:
We’re not just doing Star Wars Battlefield.
It would be desirable that they are truthful here and that it becomes much more than just a stripped-down Battlefield in a new guise.
By the way, the fact that there will only be 4 maps is constantly being reported. That is not entirely accurate: There will be 4 planets at launch, but at least 8 maps. So definitely more than one map per planet. I see the 4 planets less critically, especially since more will certainly come in the future. Please, more attention to detail! From a player’s perspective, I am more concerned about the DLC policy of EA, for which they don’t exactly earn praise.
Another topic that has also been frequently mentioned is the lack of a campaign. We must wait and see whether the announced solo and co-op challenges can keep up with the campaigns in the classical sense. Ultimately, it was marketed from the beginning as a multiplayer shooter, so that must be kept in mind. It will only have to compete with other high-profile multiplayer shooters, where campaigns have become the standard. However, no matter how you look at it, for those who expected a big story content, this news is probably a slap in the face.
For now, however, I am hopeful that I will have a lot of fun with the game. Given the numbers, interest seems to be huge.

In Destiny, a supposedly safe method to obtain exotic items from legendary engrams has caused a stir.
Two days ago, a post appeared on the US discussion platform reddit, which has caused quite a buzz in recent days. The post could turn out to be a sort of “Philosopher’s Stone”: one could supposedly turn purple engrams into gold.
Because aplayer claimed to have found a method to “guarantee” exotic weapons from legendary engrams.
This is how the alleged miracle method in Destiny works
The plan is as follows:
You need a lot of rare engrams and at least one legendary weapon engram
Then you go to the Cryptarch and decrypt blue engrams until a legendary item pops out, whether it’s a weapon, special weapon, or a helmet, but materials do not count..
The moment the legendary item appears, you decrypt your legendary weapon engram as quickly as possible (within 3 seconds), and it “guarantees” an exotic weapon.
The so-called Cryptarch glitch in the video
The post was hotly debated on reddit. Many decided to try it out. And some also reported success with the method. The original video has over 40,000 hits now.
http://youtu.be/yIhbYzru_b0
However, the theory has now been declared “false” on reddit and retracted. Some have reported that they had no success with it. But on the other hand, there are also some success stories.
No guarantees of success, but some report that it worked
But in no case, as some advertising declare, is it a “100% guaranteed method to obtain exotic items”. The finder of the method now says it works best for people with low ping. Anyone with a slower connection has to be particularly quick.
The truth content of the method is questionable, but there are successes.
Given the small number of tests, it might also be possible that it’s just luck, and the method plays no role at all. It’s always hard to say with such things. This, of course, will not stop players who also shoot at the lockers of chests to increase their chances of obtaining the Gjallarhorn from trying out every theory.
However, anyone who tries it should not have too high expectations. The method is indeed difficult, as the chances of a blue engram turning into a legendary item are relatively low. Legendary engrams are also relatively rare.
http://youtu.be/qQh7SyHtkxw
Currently, it is somewhat like a miracle healer: If success does not occur, the patient made a mistake and did not execute it correctly. Then it is said that he did not believe strongly enough. In Destiny, it is said: “He was too slow.”
In contrast to consulting a miracle healer, trying out such a glitch in Destiny does not come with costs and cannot really hurt (unless you prefer to save engrams to immediately level up your Cryptarch rank with House of Wolves and get “new” engrams.)
Anyone who tries it can report their results to us.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , players were asked about their favorite exotic weapons for every occasion. The usual suspects made it to the podium.
In January, there were large surveys about the favorite exotic weapons of the Guardians. The surveys were massive, with 16,000 players voting: the results were weighted, distinguishing between PvP and PvE , someone really put effort into it.
This time, the survey is significantly more relaxed and shows a snapshot of opinions. Almost 2000 Guardians were simply asked about their favorite exotic weapons for every occasion, only distinguishing by weapon type.
The most popular exotic weapons for every slot and every occasion
The most popular primary weapon is only for PlayStation players
Among the exotic primary weapons, the Hawkmoon comes in first. The PlayStation-exclusive hand cannon outperformed the Red Death and the Thorn. Interestingly, the once-popular “Suros Regime” only landed in 9th place, probably because it cannot convince in PvE.
It’s interesting that the weapons are relatively close together. The Hawkmoon only has a little over 20% of the votes. In total, 7 weapons have their fans: Besides the 3 favorites, the MIDA Multi-Tool, The Last Word, Bad Karma, and Vex Mythoclast are in the relevant voting range.
Uncontested victory in special weapons
In special weapons, the Guardians favor the Icebreaker. With a landslide victory, it takes the title, with about 80% making their mark here. In 2nd place, the patience and time fall behind, and in 3rd place surprisingly, the Complaint. However, the survey came before the last patch; today, perhaps the 4th Horseman would be further ahead.
We shouldn’t actually name the winner among heavy weapons
There are no surprises with the heavy weapons either. Naturally, the Gjallarhorn takes the title. 70% of the Guardians would choose the rocket launcher whose name we shouldn’t mention if they were to grab an exotic heavy weapon. In 2nd place, the Thunderlord, and in 3rd place the Extremely Good Advice.
It seems that the balancing of the exotic weapons is really only open with the primary weapons. In the case of special weapons and heavy weapons, there are clear fan favorites.

The trailer for the multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront evokes mixed feelings among fans. While some are excited, others are skeptical.
The trailer for Star Wars Battlefront was viewed nearly 6 million times within 24 hours. By now, even the 10 million mark has been surpassed. Although there is little gameplay footage in the trailer, it showcases outstanding graphics that, according to the developer DICE, match those of the actual game.

The reactions have been predominantly positive, although critical voices have also emerged. Especially, the developers of Battlefront need to counter the impression that “the game couldn’t possibly look that good on a PS4.” And that tricks were used in the trailer to create that impression.
In the US forum reddit, producer Jesper Nielsen responds to these fan objections and attempts to assuage their concerns. He can understand that some might suspect “bullshots” here. This term refers to “fake” images of a game, a mix of “screenshot” and “bullshit.” He doesn’t like to make “hard guarantees,” but he can assure that this is how the game looks at the moment. Even on the PlayStation 4.
I don’t like making hard guarantees. The game hasn’t shipped yet. We’re not done with it. But this is how it looks right now – on PS4 as well, yes.
At DICE, there are very talented people who are all passionate Star Wars fans and have spent countless hours packing more details into the game than Jesper has ever seen before. This mix of talent, dedication, and technology generates these remarkable results.
You can give two people, or two teams, the same tools and have very different quality being produced. You have a group of very talented people here who are also huge Star Wars fans, putting in countless hours creating more details than I’ve ever seen before. Not because it hasn’t been technically possible before, but the mixture of tech, the choice of focus (quality over quantity) and then the dedication of the team is creating some truly remarkable results.

In The Elder Scrolls Online, many players have developed a close relationship with their characters. However, not everyone is satisfied with the details of their character and would like to change some things.
If we look back a year to the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: During character creation, there was a bug that prevented players from zooming in on their character. The extremely extensive customization options for character creation could not be properly utilized for the first character. However, many wanted to get started and finally play the game they had been looking forward to for so long.
Before getting married … a quick trip to the hairdresser!
As a result, many “compromise” heroes were created back then, and now some details annoy their owners. Or tastes have changed, or one simply wants to see something different. Therefore, players have long wished for ZeniMax to introduce a kind of “barber shop”. In the MMO genre, this usually means not just a hairdresser or facial hair trimmer, but an all-rounder who can also change the faces of the characters, just like during character creation. It is therefore a mix of hairdresser, cosmetic surgeon, and magical flesh sculptor.
ZeniMax has now indicated in an ESO Live and also confirmed in the forum that they are currently working on the feature. Although no specific date can be provided yet and no explanation has been given on how the feature will be integrated into the game, perhaps via the Crown Store. The scope of the modification feature is also not yet known.

The PTR of World of Warcraft for Patch 6.2 has been online for a few days now, and players could already sign up for the new raid “Hellfire Citadel.” Instead of thoroughly testing the bosses, it was only allowed to take a look at the environment and see the layout of the citadel.
Our colleagues from blizzardwatch.com have put together a small gallery of the most beautiful images. According to the author, the images do not do justice to the size – compared to this, the last raids were “tiny.”
Visually, the citadel strongly resembles the Black Temple from “The Burning Crusade.” Not surprisingly, both areas are infused with fel magic and are overflowing with demons of the Burning Legion. The bosses include a resurrected Mannoroth, a really ugly Gorefiend, and Archimonde himself. You should best get an impression of the images yourself.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, fans have designed new Sparrows with the look of weapons. They promise much more variety and exude more creativity than the land speeders currently in the game.
Today we have 6 new Sparrows for you, crafted by users on reddit. The title image actually shows the insult as “Foul Language”, the Sparrow that Samuel L. Jackson would grasp… if he weren’t just Ghost:
The zombie MMO H1Z1 has a test server, while the game is still in an early alpha stage. Just this week, the sound was out for several hours after a patch.
To increase the chances of everything going smoothly in the future, H1Z1 has now launched a “test server”. Here players can already try out the next patch, the next build. According to the community manager of DGC, players should see it as “early early access”.
They will announce through the usual channels (Twitter/reddit) when the next version drops there. They appreciate everyone who tests there: The more, the better.
H1Z1 is currently in early access and is being developed under player feedback. In April, development is slowly picking up speed and almost every week new features and items are added. Access to early access on Steam costs nearly 20 euros, and later the game should be free for PC. And a little later, it will also be available for PlayStation 4.

The MMO shooter Defiance is expanding. With Alcatraz, new expeditions are coming into play, the ego cap, the maximum level, is rising.
The prison island Alcatraz is the new location in Trion Worlds’ free-to-play shooter Defiance. In the USA, the third season of the associated TV series will also be launching soon. It’s a good time for some action to return to the post-apocalypse. While the island of Alcatraz is a safe zone, most of the action takes place in the new “expeditions”.
Additionally, with Alcatraz, the “ego” cap has been raised; it is something like the level cap, when one broadly interprets “level cap” and understands it as the sum of all abilities. Trion Worlds has also smoothed out the curve for gaining EGO points. This means players should now advance more steadily and quickly even in the no-man’s land of mid-levels.
The multiplayer Star Wars Battlefront was unveiled by Dice yesterday. Now there are further answers to fans’ pressing questions. How many maps will be available at launch? What FPS are aimed for on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Yesterday, the trailer and the presentation of Star Wars Battlefront caused a disturbance in the Force, well, at least for the internet. After seeing the trailer’s images and the sparse information, a flood of questions went to the developers. Via Twitter, DICE Design Director Niklas Fegraeus responded.
They are planning for 4 planets at launch, but this does not mean that there will only be 4 maps. There will also be more than 8, and more than just 2 per planet. They want to find a mix of small and larger maps to cover all playstyles.
There will be more maps than 8, and more than two per planet at launch. https://t.co/FWk8qb6nGk
The split-screen is only intended for local mode; online, cooperative play will be possible, focusing on the “missions” that players will engage in instead of the campaign.
We have a feature called Missions that allow you to play solo or cooperatively with bots on or offline https://t.co/v7IL7fuC8G — Niklas Fegraeus (@DICEfigge) April 17, 2015
There will be more heroes. They take on a special role in battle. Currently, only Boba Fett and Darth Vader have been revealed. Their use will likely be limited to certain game modes.
Heroes depend heavily on the game mode. We will tell you more about heroes at a later date https://t.co/aB3JpJQjd4
There will be a lot of achievements to earn, and there will be collectibles to unlock. So, there are the typical achievement systems in the game that many enjoy.
Yes, there will be plenty of things to unlock, achieve and collect. More on this will be revealed at a later date! https://t.co/m0jHS9ftP2 — Niklas Fegraeus (@DICEfigge) April 18, 2015
In the sandpark MMO ArcheAge, the new patch 1.7a will be released on April 28. In a developer blog, Trion Worlds discusses the numerous changes to naval combat and ships.
“Ships, ships, ships” are the theme of the hour in the sandpark MMO ArcheAge. The Korean patch 1.7 will be split in the West, with the first half 1.7a set to arrive here on April 28. The patch will deliver new zones that will revamp the island Freedich, an achievement system and, most importantly, bring life to the oceans.
The developers have now outlined all the changes coming to the ships in a dev blog. These should be heavily modifiable and customizable by players. There will be nearly 100 components, from lighting, optional boarding equipment, and armaments to masts and figureheads.
Nearly 100 things that you can change, attach, or enlarge on the ship. They all have functions and can be upgraded. So there is a lot for the carpenter and captain of tomorrow to do. Here is the dev blog about the ship modifications coming with the dread prophecies.

For the multiplayer shooter Star Wars: Battlefront, pre-orders have started. The game is set to release on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
It is George Lucas’ world we just live in, one might think after the impressions of the last 24 hours. And that is by design. This year is supposed to be all about “Star Wars.” By the end of the year, Episode 7, the first new film, will be released. Yesterday, a trailer caused sweaty hands and goosebumps, today it was mainly about Star Wars: Battlefront, a new multiplayer game being developed by DICE, scheduled to release in mid-November on November 17.
Battlefront will focus on planetary battles, initial images promise almost photorealistic graphics and a strong “It’s like being in a movie” feeling. Gameplay-wise, it will orient itself towards multiplayer battles, players can pull out blasters and fly fighters. Those who feel connected to the Empire can pilot one of the heavy AT-AT walkers. Those are the ones with a steel cable allergy.

The trailer definitely had many on the edge of their seats and elicited “Aaahs” and “Ooohs.” And it was supposedly created using “in-game graphics” with the new engine.
Only a few minutes after the trailer, pre-orders on Amazon had already opened. The game can be pre-ordered here for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on amazon.de.
The catch: Pre-order customers will receive benefits, as is now customary. On December 8, a first free DLC is planned, “Battle of Jakku,” with two new maps. Pre-order customers of the base game Star Wars: Battlefront can play the DLC a week before everyone else. They will start on Jakku on December 1. The DLC is supposed to be closely tied to the next film.
The pre-order price guarantee at Amazon ensures that you only have to pay the lowest price on the release day. Here you can pre-order Star Wars: Battlefront for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Even in the third week of the expansion “Blackrock Mountain” for Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone, we can again expect three bosses and two class challenges that will bring us a total of 6 new cards.
After helping Lord Victor Nefarius in previous weeks to defeat the dwarves and fire elementals, we now turn against our former quest giver and head into Blackrock Spire. Highlord Omokk, General Drakkisath, and the well-known Rend Blackhand await a challenge and offer exciting mechanics that are particularly tricky in heroic mode. Those who have defeated all three can then attempt the class challenges for Priest and Druid, which are rather straightforward.
Almost all of the cards from the new wing have convinced me. The “Core Hound” will find its way into many Rush Hunter decks and might lure out the occasional big game hunter. With the “Dragon Companion”, it is now possible to create quite decent Paladin dragon decks, and the Priest’s “Twilight Whelp” has fantastic stats when you have many of the flying monstrosities in the deck. The Druid receives another powerful tank: The “Volcanic Lurker” will often ensure an early surrender of the opponent when combined with a Claw.
The legendary card “Rend Blackhand” I find to be extremely weak. Too many factors must occur simultaneously for it to be useful. In the worst case, you might not even be able to play it because you would have to sacrifice one of your own legendary minions if the opponent has none on the field. Only in combination with Sylvanas could that still make sense…
The trailer for Star Wars Battlefront has finally been released, which many have been eagerly anticipating.
Today was a bit chaotic for Star Wars Battlefront. The big information surge was supposed to happen only after fans at home had seen the highly anticipated trailer. However, the information embargo was broken a few hours early and the info deluge poured over the waiting fans before the trailer.
Anyway, here is the trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront, a new multiplayer shooter developed by DICE and heavily hyped by the global PR machinery. The trailer is said to have been created with in-game assets and their own Frostbite engine. Only a few cinematic settings have been used, but otherwise, nothing is fake. Everything is in the game. They wanted to prove that they could make their own trailers with the game engine of Star Wars: Battlefront.
Yesterday, selected journalists were shown the trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront, the hype of the moment. The game was also presented, and media questions were answered.
Actually, all of this should have remained under wraps until the trailer is shown tonight. But one site broke ranks and published their article already. Then EA quickly lifted the embargo, and now we have the mess: There are already about 800 pieces of information about the game, and many were looking forward to enjoying the trailer first. But that is still missing.
We have gathered and filtered out the 12 most important facts and impressions from the information flood of English-speaking gaming sites.
It orients itself to the “classic” trilogy and takes the new films into account, but pretends that the prequels never existed.
Star Wars Battlefront will be a First-Person Shooter and a Third-Person Shooter, players can choose the perspective they prefer.
It will focus on planetary battles, there will likely be nothing with space; but the various iconic vehicles will play a role: the AT-AT walkers, speeders, Y-Wing bombers, X-Wings, the Millennium Falcon, and there should also be dogfights.
The largest mode Walker Assault includes 40 players.
They pay extreme attention to the look of the game, it should be as close as possible to the first trilogy; they also use special effects that you would expect more in cinema.
Star Wars Battlefront starts with 4 planets: Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, and Sullust.
Before the release of the 7th film, there will be the first free DLC on December 8. It will be called “Battle of Jakku” and will closely relate to the new film. Pre-order customers can start on December 1.
There will likely be some sort of special “hero” and “villain” characters, like Vader or Boba Fett, that players can embody. They are not only powerful but also the main targets for enemies.
First impression: Looks incredibly good, but there has been little gameplay shown so far.
The focus is on the online mode, but single scenarios should also be possible, which players can tackle solo, in co-op or in split-screen; there will be no campaign.
There are no “classes” planned, but players define themselves by the weapons they choose, thermal grenades, air strikes, Darth Vader’s patented choking maneuver, blasters, and lightsabers have already been spotted.
The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will also support DirectX 11 with the Heavensward expansion. This is noticeable in the first screenshots.
In a new dev blog, which is currently only available in Japanese, Square Enix shows a screenshot captured with the current DirectX9 client and places the same image alongside the DirectX11 client. The differences are enormous.
Shadows play a much larger role and especially the reflection is striking. Later this month, a new benchmark is expected to be released, allowing players to ensure that their computers can run Heavensward . The add-on will be released on June 23.
DirectX 9
And here is DirectX11

In the fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2 the April Fools’ joke has been brought to the Gem Store. Players can now, as needed, run around as an airplane or better said: as someone who thinks they are an airplane.
We could just resist the “Finally! Flying mounts in Guild Wars 2” headline: For 400 Gems there is a new item in the GW2 store that brings back the “April Fools’ joke”.
When you logged in on April 1st, you saw a sepia-colored world, your own hero stretched out their arms and made airplane noises while running – noises that a child might think airplanes sound like.

So now you can run around at any time if you wish. For 400 Gems there is a box that you can place, whoever interacts with it will become an airplane (or a guy who thinks he is an airplane).
However, other players do not see that someone is devotedly training for a Pixar movie.
