On ArcheAge there was another live stream on Friday outlining the future of the game. Patrons will receive work points in full even when they are not logged in.
Another ArcheAge live stream took place on Friday, where the producer Merv Lee Kwai answered community questions and announced news.
The most important probably: The Patron status will become even more attractive. Patrons will soon receive the same offline work point regeneration as online. Currently, players only regenerate half offline. For “non-patrons” there will be no changes. Patrons are the paying players in ArcheAge, where this status can also be earned “in-game”. Additionally, patrons will be able to access the auction house from anywhere. These changes are set to come in April.

Flying Horses, Red Dragon, Better Supply Chests, More Archeum
As a new attractive mount, the Pegasus comes to the game. It will be available through loyalty points or as a reward from one of the controversial supply chests. This is planned for March 26.
Supply chests have been a sensitive topic: Here they want to make improvements and, as announced, will remove the “weakest results.” Archeum should also be easier to obtain in the game, for instance in the “Coinpurses” that drop from mobs.
An event for the “Spirit of the Red Dragon” is also planned. This special mob is supposed to appear 3 times a day on 8 weekends (which count in ArcheAge as Thursday to Sunday). For each player who loots it within an hour, there will be Archeum and special scales from which a cape can be crafted.

As is often the case with live streams, there is a lot of mixed information: The next major patch 1.7 is planned for early May. They are also working on offering server transfers. Until this is technically possible, they want to increase the population of the smaller realms by occasionally restricting character creation on highly populated ones. Additionally, they are changing the conditions under which land can be sold in-game and introducing “Fishing Tournaments.”

In The Elder Scrolls Online, the transition to “Tamriel Unlimited”, the Buy2Play version of the game, is pending. A trailer has been produced to explain to returning players what has been improved since the release.
On YouTube, a fan has already uploaded the new trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online. It will likely be officially presented again on Wednesday. The trailer showcases the myriad of big and small changes that have been made to TESO compared to its release.
From the improved spam filter, to the facial animations of the NPCs, to the better “feel in combat”, the dye system, the better mini-dungeons, and the new justice system, everything possible is listed here: A veritable bombardment of improvements. All of this is underlined by the heroic music of The Elder Scrolls Online and enhanced with atmospheric images: This is truly a siren call that is hard to resist.
Players who have dropped out at some point over the last few months are given plenty of reasons to check back in starting March 17. And they won’t even need a subscription for that. One thing is clear: It will be a significantly improved game available on Tuesday. Playstation 4 and Xbox One players can look forward to June 9 when the game will also be released for consoles.
Will TESO soon have us back in its clutches?
Mein MMO says: Man, man, man – there has really been a lot going on in a year of The Elder Scrolls Online. The trailer makes that clear once again. There are also some things that we now take for granted and without which we can no longer imagine TESO – like the dye system. Most of the changes can be found somewhere in the depths of our now huge, catacomb-like TESO theme page. Does it make you want to jump back in, or how do you see it? We’ve also asked that question in our community article, so feel free to join the lively discussions there.

An interview with Destiny’s Production Director, Jonty Barnes, can now give fans hope. At Bungie, they see many things as the gamers do.
Interviews with Bungie employees are rare. Most communication comes through the Weekly Update, which often provides only vague information. When Raid Designer Luke Smith spoke clearly last time, there was more information about the future of Destiny than collected in a month of “Weekly Update”.
The surprise: At Bungie, they see almost everything as the community does.
The strengths of Destiny: The core gameplay
When asked what he likes best about Destiny, Barnes replies: “What I like most is that we have created a game that you can enjoy together. We have been working on Destiny for 6 years now, and I still play it with friends. (…) Many of the employees are incredibly proud of the core gameplay mechanics. Playing the game is simply fun. And we have worked hard to get to where we are today. And we are very proud of that.”
This core mechanic is, according to Barnes, also the foundation of success. The action gameplay Bungie is renowned for works well in Destiny.
Barnes probably means the famous “30-second loop”, a sequence of shooting, moving, taking cover, throwing grenades, shooting, that repeated itself in Halo and was considered the basis for making the game feel good. The major plus that is also attributed to Destiny.
According to Barnes, reward systems, a responsive AI, and the ability to play cooperatively add to this foundation. That is the recipe for Destiny’s success.
The weaknesses of Destiny: The story and the slow introduction of new game content
When asked what the team would do differently in Destiny if they had the chance, the answer was refreshingly clear: “We would make some different decisions regarding the game’s story today.”
Additionally, Barnes personally wishes that they could create new locations in the universe faster to give players more to do.
Personally, I wish we could build more places in our universe faster.
The future of Destiny?
According to Barnes, the outlook on “creating new places faster” is positive. The systems they have for bringing in new things evolve just as the players do. Therefore, they will be able to meet players’ wishes faster and satisfy their demands more promptly in the future.
Fortunately, the systems we use to build those worlds is evolving right alongside the player, better enabling us to meet their demands.
At the moment, they have the problem of having too many great ideas to choose from, as the strong community brings so many ideas to the team. In making choices, they will rely on what they believe to be right within the team itself. Because at heart, everyone at Bungie is a gamer.
From the last year, they have also learned that players embrace an “existing universe” like that of Destiny, and the player base continues to grow. This insight has already fostered a rethink of how to design games and what players yearn for.
In the zombie MMO H1Z1 the goal is to populate the map densely and fill it with content before expanding it. New world events are also planned, and maybe air drops without real money.
Clegg is the man for map design, video presentations, and shitstorms
The survival MMO H1Z1 releases a dev spotlight every Friday. A team member presents their work, and there are often hints about the future of the zombie MMO. This time it was Adam Clegg’s turn. He was briefly in the spotlight before early access, when he made a significant error during a stream presentation about “airdrops”. He said at the time that there would be no advantages available for real money. This was interpreted by the developers as “fraud” since aircraft drops that could be ordered for real money still came with weapons and items. But well, that issue has long been put to rest.
Clegg is the face of H1Z1 along with Jimmy Whisenhunt. He appears in numerous videos. However, in his “normal job”, he is a level designer and thus responsible for the map of H1Z1.
First, fill empty spots
As is known, the H1Z1 map is expected to grow larger over time. But that is still in the future: For the foreseeable near future, it will remain as large as it currently is. Right now, the focus is on filling in the “empty spots” where not much is happening. A larger map will come when the technology is ready for it.
World event: Dam
The next world event (at the moment there are only air drops) involves something around the central dam. What exactly it will be, Clegg is not revealing yet. They want to wait until the designers have a better model of the dam, and then get started.
Air drops in H1Z1 might soon be automatic
And regarding the air drops that Clegg has an unfortunate history with, there is also more information: They are considering using them in a significantly more flexible manner in the future. Perhaps there will be air drops that come automatically without a player ordering them for real money. This was a demand that often came up during the shitstorm for early access two months ago.

As the “WoW Token” will be introduced soon, allowing players to purchase their game time in World of Warcraft with gold, the currency is more sought after than ever.
Many players are already collecting as much gold as possible to be able to play “for free” for a long time afterward. The YouTuber Bellular has listed the ten most popular methods for farming gold quickly and reliably.
1. Old Cataclysm Raids
Cleaning the Cataclysm raids for 25 players on heroic difficulty weekly is especially worthwhile. This can easily be done solo and yields, depending on the instance, up to 3000 gold in half an hour. If you have more than one character at level 100, you can of course get significantly more capital out of this!
2. Tailor: The first room in the Bastion of Twilight
If you have a tailor, you should consider visiting the first room of the raid “Bastion of Twilight,” clearing the first room, and looting everything. You will receive a little gold, a lot of glimmering cloth, and some green items. Leave the instance, reset the raid, and repeat as often as possible. If you process the cloth into bolts and disenchant the green items, you can create glimmering cloth bags that can be sold for several hundred gold in the auction house.
3. Treasure Hunter Mission in the Garrison
Lazy players let their followers farm for them. The particularly lucrative “Treasure Hunter” missions bring a lot of gold, which can be increased by utilizing the corresponding NPCs that have the “Treasure Hunter” trait. With just two to three clicks, the gold comes in!
4. Tailor: Farming cloth in Pandaria at Sra’vess and the Ruins of Guo’lai
In Pandaria, you can effectively farm wind wool cloth as a tailor at two locations. Once in the Ruins of Guo’lai and then on Sra’vess island. Once you have enough cloth, process it into bolts and craft as many “Crafted Dreadful Gladiator’s Cloaks” as possible. These can be sold for 17 gold each to a vendor. If you want to get even more, stock up on some “Elixir of Fortune” beforehand to obtain more loot.
5. Alchemist: Transmuting magical elements
With 6.1, alchemists gained the ability to transform elements of one type into another. When different elements are offered at different prices, simply buy the cheaper element and transmute it to the most expensive one, which can then be directly resold in the auction house.
6. Selling Wildblood
Wildblood is still highly sought after and can be farmed much easier thanks to the changes to the barn. Team up with a small group and farm the elite creatures in Nagrand to cage them and then use them for work orders. Due to the relatively long time, this method is especially worthwhile for “earning” some coins on the side.
7. Crafting 640 epics as often as possible
Almost trivial, but of course, you must not forget the crafting professions. All armor crafters can create 640 items and sell them. While prices are currently in free fall because the cooldown for crafting has basically been removed, you can still make some players happy with fresh gear, and at least a few thousand should change hands.
8. Selling gems and potions
Raiders in particular consume enormous amounts of gems and potions, making both products always popular in the auction house. A character with the right professions probably won’t get extremely rich, but you can certainly earn a good sum with potions and stones. Keep an eye on the time – prices often rise in the evening during raid time, allowing for a bit more profit!
9. Farming the “Dented Sword Grip”
The “Dented Sword Grip” is a quite popular quest item that is offered in the auction house for between 5,000 and 20,000 gold. It can be found in all three “Icecrown” instances on heroic difficulty. Especially the Pit of Saron is suitable for effective farming, as you can pull all enemies together relatively undisturbed, reset the instance after finishing the job, and repeat the process. While this method relies heavily on luck, a persistent player can extract a lot of gold from the old WotLK instances.
10. As a group: Farming trash groups in Blackrock Foundry
Currently, killing trash groups in the raid “Blackrock Foundry” is particularly popular. Grab a handful of like-minded people and farm the various trash groups. Especially before “Irongoblin,” a small group can farm effectively. Depending on your efficiency, some epic items should drop that are bound on equip and can thus be sold in the auction house. After a few hours, each group member should have received at least one item.
Finally, a personal tip from me: My significant gold income currently comes from pets. Especially the new companions from the Black Temple, Sunwell Plateau, and Mount Hyjal can be sold for a lot of money. You can even add nearly 4,000 gold when you level the pet to level 25 before selling; this can be done in less than half an hour!
All mentioned tips can also be viewed in motion in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgWYPXyBI_8

The Free2Play MMO Rift is changing its wardrobe system, and the new one looks very much like Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars 2 has introduced some features, especially in the inventory and trading system, that make you wonder why not all MMOs have adopted these by now. Players can easily dismantle armors and permanently save their “appearance” in their account. They can later make other armors look like this. This saves the hassle of “storing” cosmetic armor pieces just for their appearance. You have a kind of showcase that you gradually fill with options, and this showcase even tells you what is still missing: Collector’s heart, what more do you want?
Now the Free2Play MMO Rift is switching to such a wardrobe model. There is an article from a fan site that has already caught a glimpse of the next patch 3.2. Everything here is still “heavy-alpha” and “under construction”, but it looks very much like it.
In a live stream, much of what the fan site suspected has now been confirmed. It seems that such a system will come with patch 3.2.: Colors as well as weapon and clothing styles can soon be saved account-wide. The showcase system will then indicate what is still missing.
Please steal: Perhaps the best, secondary idea in the MMORPG genre in 2014.

Mein MMO says:The question is: When will all the other MMORPGs finally implement this too? Or does someone really have fun hoarding dozens of costumes in all kinds of bank spaces or on twinks and forgetting them? With new content and events constantly introducing more of these, the problem will become bigger and more annoying over time. You want to be an adventurer, not a warehouse keeper.

The fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2 makes “world completion” easier, a full exploration of the world versus world maps is no longer necessary.
Among MMO players, completists are widespread. They get a nervous twitch when a bar is not completely filled, but there is still a small gap. Numbers like 83% or 92% keep them up at night, and a 142/181 can ruin their mood for a long time: No, all bars must be full, the numbers round and complete, only then is peace of mind and a good night’s sleep guaranteed.
Guild Wars 2 is now a good step towards these players. World completion, the sacred 100%, will now also be achievable if players have not fully completed the “WvW” maps. Because they will no longer count towards world completion like other PvP maps in the future. So when logging into GW2 next time, many players will have come a bit closer to the coveted reward, whether they are interested in it or not.
We wish you twitch-free gaming.

The next Iron Banner in Destiny starts on March 17. That is already official. Unofficially, the rewards are also known.
Xur cannot be predicted by the dataminers anymore, everything else seems to be going as planned. The Japanese user Megaman has already seen the rewards of the Iron Banner and recorded them in screenshots.
Update March 17, 10:10: Yes, everything was correct. The predicted rewards are also the actual ones.
What is the Iron Banner in Destiny?
The Iron Banner is a special Crucible event in Destiny. In the battles here, player gear “counts,” so it is not balanced. Minor light level differences do not matter much, what is important is especially a fully upgraded 331 weapon.
The Iron Banner is a monthly event. This time, more “maps” will be available than in previous months. It was supposed to be the case already in February, but something went wrong then. They fixed it, but that has been a few weeks ago now, and since then, it is unknown whether everything worked out. The goal of the fix was to include some of the “smaller maps” in the Iron Banner rotation.
If everything went well, the Iron Banner in March should be much more varied than the previous ones.
Iron Banner Guide: What do I need to know for the Iron Banner in Destiny?
This should be the most important things you need to know.
It is important to accept all missions for the Iron Banner and work on them simultaneously as much as possible.
At reputation levels 1 (emblem), 2 (shader), and 4 (class item), there is a special item at Lord Saladin that grants a 10% reputation bonus. You should definitely buy and wear it. These items also work when worn together, and they increase reputation gain.
Victories in the Iron Banner grant 50 reputation. Losses are not that bad either. For a loss, you receive a special coin, which is automatically redeemed after the next victory and brings 40 reputation points. You can collect a handful of these coins, so even bad streaks are not terrible.
Always activate the buff “Hardened,” which lasts 12 hours but can be reactivated as often as desired when it runs out.
How the reputation bonus buff “Hardened” strengthens:
The “Hardened” buff becomes stronger the closer it gets to the end of the Iron Banner in Destiny, on Tuesday. This allows players who have less time and can only play on weekends to also have a chance to receive the important items:
On the first day, Tuesday, March 17, the reputation bonus is 10%.
On the second day, Wednesday, March 18, it is 15%
On the third day, Thursday, March 19, it is 25%
On the fourth day, Friday, March 20, it is 40%
On the fifth day, Saturday, March 21, it is 60%
On the sixth day, Sunday, March 22, it is 100%
On the seventh day, Monday, March 23, it is 150%
This is how much reputation you need to reach the individual ranks:
Reputation level 1: 100
Reputation level 2: additional 1200
Reputation level 3: additional 2400
Reputation level 4: additional 2400
Reputation level 5: additional 2400
And what is available at this Iron Banner in March? Is it worth it?
If the predictions are correct, there will be two items this week with a maximum light level of 36. These are chest armor and leg armor. A light level of 36 is the current maximum and is enough to reach level 32, if you wear 4 of these 36-light-level pieces. The special thing: The items can be upgraded with Ascendant Shards and do not require the raid materials Light Shards.
It will be that the boots are available at rank level 3, the chest armor at rank level 4. Always assuming that the predictions are correct.
In terms of weapons, if the forecasts are correct, this month there will be the machine gun Jolder’s Hammer and the auto rifle Silimar’s Wrath (you can find the images above). These two weapons are available at rank level 4 (machine gun) and 5 (auto rifle). At the end of an Iron Banner match, there is also a chance for “random weapons.” Previously, the “rewards” of the Iron Banner from the previous month were always selected. In this case, that would be two real treats: The shotgun Felwinter’s Lie and the scout rifle Gheleon’s Demise.
Please note that the images of the rewards in this article are not yet official but come from the Japanese prophet Megamanex4, who is active in the reddit forum. All information except the rewards is to be considered secure.

In the Kickstarter sensation Star Citizen, short-term free trial flights are available.
As reported by Gamespot, players can try the space MMO Star Citizen for free over the next few days. The offer is valid until March 15 and was originally only available to visitors of PAX East in Boston. Now the US site Gamespot has made the code publicly available for everyone.
To take advantage of the offer, players need to create a free client, go to this page and enter the code PAXEASTFREEFLY2K15.
This grants access to the hangar module. Players can take a few rounds in the Anvil Hornet F7C ship. In Arena Commander, they need to survive fights against waves of enemies. While the “real” client is expected to weigh 100 GB later, the free flight only requires 20 GB.
Among the fans, there is now concern that Xbox players will also receive the offer faster to play with the new hunters and the new monsters, such as Behemoth,. They have already been announced as paid DLC, and the prices are not exactly modest: Monster 15 euros, hunter 7.49 euros

There were difficulties with the Closed Beta of Skyforge. Team Allods is aware of this and is adding another day.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, there were difficulties at the Closed Beta of the upcoming god MMO Skyforge. At launch, the servers were not immediately available, but took an extra hour. Then there were queues, error messages, nothing dramatic, but of course annoying. Especially when you only have a few hours and the servers are down at that exact time.
Team Allods wants to compensate players for the issues and is therefore extending the Closed Beta by one day, until Thursday, March 19, likely until 10:00 AM.
In recent days, they say, most of the issues have been resolved. So: Safe travels to divinity, dear immortals.
For those who want to learn more about the title, we recommend our big Skyforge preview. And since we are also out there in the world, you will surely be able to read more about the game on mein-mmo.de in the coming days.

Destiny wins its first major award as Game of the Year 2014. The MMO shooter swept the BAFTAs. Meanwhile, other online games Hearthstone and the perennial favorite League of Legends win in the side categories.
Destiny finally ahead of Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age: Inquisition
No, there isn’t such an award, but a real one, and one of the many “This is the Game of the Year!” awards has now been brought back to Seattle.
Destiny won the British Academy Game Awards as Game of the Year on the night from Thursday to Friday. At almost all other awards ceremonies in the last months, this title was either reserved for Dragon Age: Inquisition or for Shadow of Mordor. Destiny also always won awards at these events, but mostly in the side categories for the best technology, the best soundtrack, the best online game or the best Action Game. Not this time. They took the big prize and were correspondingly pleased about it.
They tweeted about the success, turned the BAFTA into Destiny loot and happily gave interviews, emphasizing how important player recognition is for the team. And they take harsh criticism as an incentive to do even better and as a sign of how much Destiny means to so many these days.
Hearthstone wins Multiplayer Medal, League of Legends is consistent
This time, the award for best “Multiplayer” went to Blizzard’s Hearthstone . Hearthstone has already collected several awards for 2014, often for best “Mobile” or best “Strategy Game.” League of Legends, on the other hand, has been on the market longer and is therefore not represented at most award ceremonies. However, it can surely count on player favor, in no other online game have PC gamers spent as many hours as in League of Legends. Who needs awards anyway? But they are certainly not harmful: At the BAFTAs, this time there was the award for the best “persistent game.” (Persistent Game)
A lifetime achievement award was given to David Braben, the mind behind Elite: Dangerous, .

With the release of the patch 6.1, a new, rare mount has been added to World of Warcraft – the “Void Talon of the Dark Star”.
Basically, it’s quite simple to obtain the “Void Talon of the Dark Star”. You just need to enter a portal that takes you to the “Edge of Reality”. Once there, click on an egg and you will receive the mount. There are no fights or anything else to contest. By the way, the portals look like this:
And they present only a minor problem. They remain up for a few minutes and despawn as soon as someone uses them. They are also primarily located near the Apexis daily quests. You can click on the portals as long as you do not have the mount yet or if you are in a group.
There’s only one catch: The portals are incredibly rare, and when they open, it’s likely in a crowded area because everyone is doing dailies there. So you need an immense amount of luck to get to them.
But in a few years, when no one is lingering in Draenor anymore, this problem will be solved. So good luck on your search.
Here are the known spawn points:
And this is what it looks like when you are lucky:

Destiny, Hearthstone, League of Legends, or World of Warcraft are all well-known brands with a notable publisher and corresponding advertising budget. However, there are also smaller, lesser-known games: the Indie–MMOs. They often lack the means to draw attention to themselves.
Nevertheless, they can still be good games. They deserve to be mentioned, which is why some of them will be introduced in the following text.
Gloria Victis
For the open world PvP game Gloria Victis, the Mount & Blade series seems to have been a model. For example, there is no class system, and the character is therefore fully customizable. The combat system is also more oriented towards regular RPGs, as targets are not automatically targeted. Rather, positioning and attacking at the right time are relevant. Equipment is only a secondary concern.
A complex crafting system is supposed to ensure interaction between players. The production of certain items is based on medieval work methods. A magic system also exists, based on the beliefs of that time. Fireballs are therefore not possible, but blessings or curses are.
Gloria Victis also places great importance on the weather. In addition to a day and night system, seasons exist: hot summer days or cold winters affect agriculture and livestock. Fog and rain influence visibility during combat.
Gloria Victis is currently in the pre-alpha phase, although immediate access can already be purchased for $10. It is set to be free to play at release.
In the action MMO Neverwinter , the announced expansion “Elemental Evil” is significantly delayed. More time is needed for polishing.
The expansion “Elemental Evil” was announced for March 17 at Neverwinter. However, that will not happen, as stated in a press release. Now, they want to take time until April 7 to refine the game systems and content.
The ambitious plans with the new class, the Oathbound Paladin, and the fresh game content (level cap raised to 70) were more ambitious than expected, as stated. Additionally, Boo and Minsk may also need some polishing. Minsk can sharpen his sword again, and Boo his claws.
Old hamster wisdom: Swords and teeth, chili and women can always be sharper.
The Elder Scrolls Online – the fantasy MMO has often been discussed. I completely distanced myself from it at the time of the release. Why?
Wildstar had the edge for me. Wildstar was fun, yes, but the subscription has long been dormant. So it’s enough time to focus on the competitor product from ZeniMax. After all, it will only be Buy2Play starting next week.
The Skyrim Expectation
Admittedly, I am not an old Elder Scrolls fox – but I really enjoyed Skyrim. I also tried mods that could have turned the cute graphics into a graphics card killer. The result: lots of gameplay and not even the feeling of having seen only a fraction. At least I completed the main story, wuhu. So my expectation for The Elder Scrolls Online was: a large world where you can discover something.
The Elder Scrolls Online without a subscription? Count me in!
I know the criticisms of ESO, but to me, only the story and the world itself mattered. So I bought ESO more as an RPG and not as an MMORPG. Said and done – now I have also had several adventures in the online version of The Elder Scrolls. I had actually only done group play in rare and coincidental cases until now. If that changes in the endgame, that’s good and fine. But for the money I spent, I’ve already received a great storyline. I saved a queen and keep finding quests off the beaten path that I can do but don’t have to.
And the great thing about it: I have no bad conscience when I don’t play, since there are no subscription fees. This system already excited me with Guild Wars 2.
I am, of course, only looking at the switch from subscription to the Buy2Play model from a beginner’s perspective. Additionally, there are all the changes introduced with the last patch, such as the criminal system.
Therefore, the question for Friday is directed at all beginners as well as all veterans who turned their backs on TESO:Is it worth a (re)start in The Elder Scrolls Online?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Blizzard has once again triumphed against a bold World of Warcraft clone. In court, the American company sued “Everyone WarCraft: War of Draenor” and achieved an outstanding success: The distribution of the game must be stopped immediately.
Even a layman will notice a clear parallel just from the naming of the game. The game in question closely resembled the design of the popular “Heroes Charge”, while making direct reference to Warcraft.
Especially well-known title heroes like Jaina, Arthas, and Sylvanas could join the player’s group. But the design of the environments also closely resembles the look of the WoW locations without any modifications. Here are a few screenshots, so you can get a picture of this game, which will likely rest forever.
In Destiny, Xur, the Agent of the Nine, appears on March 13th in the Tower and offers exotic weapons and armor. But not always the ones players want.
Oh man, last week could well be titled “Xur Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back”. After data miners were able to predict exactly what Xur would offer every Friday for the past three weeks, it seems Bungie has put a stop to that. And this with the mini hotfix for Destiny from this week, which no one considered significant.
When data miners look into the future now, they only see “No Land Beyond” everywhere, even with the armor. Allegedly, Bungie has changed something in the code so that curious snoopers can only see the weaponized middle finger. This has not yet been confirmed. Only a handful of people worldwide have the ability to actually access Xur’s IP. One of them reported this with “No Land Beyond”.
So it could very well be that the prediction for this time is wrong. And that we will be surprised again on Fridays in the future. Many are surely hoping that the prediction is wrong. This time it was pretty poor. Typical, after all it is Friday the 13th.
All about Xur, Agent of the Nine, on March 13th, 14th, 15th.
When does the black market dealer come to the Tower of Destiny, when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, March 13th, at 10:00 AM in the Tower and leaves on Sunday, March 15th, also at 10:00 AM.
Where is Xur? What is his position?
Xur is located in the Hall of Guardians.

What’s up with the numbers in parentheses with the armor?
Blizzard has set the date for the company convention Blizzcon. But what delights await there?
On November 6 and 7, the Blizzcon will take place in the Convention Hall in Anaheim. Anaheim is known mainly for Blizzcon and for the hockey team with the Ducks. It is a California city just 40 kilometers from LA. Well, and something called “Disneyland” is supposed to be there as well…
The tickets ($199 + taxes/fees) for the Blizzcon are always in high demand. They are set to go on presale on April 16 and 18. Unfortunately for us: The first ticket presale starts on April 16 at 4:00 AM. The one on April 18 at 7:00 PM. There will also be the option to purchase a virtual ticket again.
At Blizzcon, there is usually also a big announcement along with a series of smaller ones, revolving around the now considerable number of live games that Blizzard maintains.
Early favorites for a mention at the opening event, where everyone in the audience will make that “Oh God, I’m simultaneously surprised, stunned, incredulous, and euphoric” sound, are:
Quests – a system where you can complete a mission in a short time, granting progress toward better equipment. There are these quests in 3 stages, these are the “short contents”, which WildStar has been talking about for a while – they are similar in principle to the dailies in Guild Wars 2 and are meant to motivate players to log in daily.
Pets are coming to the game! I guess no MMORPG player needs to be told what they do: just look cute and otherwise be useless. Here you see the coolest creature on all of Nexus, a pink Rowsdower. Man, the others are going to be so jealous of it!
Changing outfits, aka the costume stuff, should now go without the Protostar helper in the cities. “Appearance designer” is what the green guy with the droplet over the fight is supposedly called in WildStar.
And with initialization core Y-83, a fresh 20-man raid is appearing. Here a virus, Techphage, was created. And that turns every AI on Nexus into a rabid techno-zombie. So this is roughly what we thought would happen at New Year’s 1999! In the raid, you will help the Free-bots escape a fate as a rabid robo-zombie.
PvP is also against your own faction.
The StarKom station in the Levian Bay, actually a Dominion zone, will likely become a new high-level zone for both factions.
