The fearsome Guardian of Ruin from Genshin Impact was assembled with a Lego constructor

User under the nickname Sebulbathegreat on the Reddit forum shared his curious composition from Lego.
He used the famous constructor to assemble the Guardian of Ruins from Genshin Impact himself, partially recreating his unusual game design.According to the enthusiast, he really liked the in-game design of the enemies in Genshin Impact.
As a little personal challange, Sebulbathegreat wanted to make the Guardian of Ruins using off-the-shelf Lego parts.
The result was far from the original, but the attempt was appreciated by fans of the game.Genshin Impact players joked that the Guardian of Ruins from Lego looked more like Cyclops or some kind of Bionicle.
Despite this, the publication has gathered a large number of approvals and positive comments.

From now on in World of Warcraft you have to promise to behave well

On June 1, a major patch 9.2.5 was released for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
In addition to the expected interfaction groups and PvP arena, players were greeted with a \"Social Contract\".
He appears at the first launch after the update, and you must either accept it or close the MMO.
\"Social contract\" was not a surprise to those who took part in the beta test update - there the agreement was added a couple of weeks ago.
The agreement is presented as a reminder or warning, but more like a strict set of rules.Greetings, traveler, and welcome to World of Warcraft! Azeroth is a living world full of people who look like you, each with their own history, culture, experiences, and past.
And everyone is here to play World of Warcraft.
Every user deserves a world in which they feel safe, so take a minute to read our Social Contract.
The full text of the Social Contract in English.
The full text of the \"Social Contract\" in English.It contains several clauses about inappropriate behavior and advice on how to behave.
In short, it's okay to make friends, be a team player, help those in need, and answer questions from newcomers in the MMO.
In Azeroth it's unacceptable to comment negatively on someone's skill, race, gender and other things, as well as the prohibition of solicitation and advertising.Violation of the agreement will result in penalties up to account blocking.
So the developers intend to make World of Warcraft \"a safe second home for everyone.

Sketches from the cancelled Marvel MMO - it was focused on Spider-Man: Across the Universe

In recent months, the Marvel MMO that Daybreak Games was going to make was quickly and quietly born and evaporated.
Some details about the game can be gleaned from designer Ramiro Galan's portfolio -- he claims to have been hired to work on this canceled project.Galan did sketches for the character editor, including design, 3D stuff, lighting and post effects.
According to the developer's notes and footage from the editor, the MMO planned the following: The visuals emphasized rich and vivid colors, and the style was inspired by the Spider-Man: Across the Universe cartoon.Users were invited to create their own character instead of pre-made superheroes.
It was possible to choose a superpower, costume (changed characteristics), body structure and head style.The character could join four factions: they were X-Men, Avengers, S.I.T.
or Fantastic Four.It seems that the costumes could be purchased with real money.
Daybreak's canceled Marvel MMO, the 2022 version.It seems that for Daybreak, this was at least the second failed attempt to launch a Marvel MMO production.
In 2019, concept art from this studio already hit the web, featuring Captain America, Iron Man, and Red Skull.
Apparently, then the project gravitated to the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but did not even get to the mention in the report for investors.The second attempt to get to the report, completely changed the style, but, as we can see, it did not help.

Final Fantasy XIV leader asks players not to launch fireworks over defeated opponents

In mid-April, MMO Final Fantasy XIV received a major patch, along with which came a new PvP mode Crystalline Conflict.
It seems that this update caused such a large wave of bad behavior that the game's manager had to do some educational work for it.Naoki Yoshida published a post describing the bad manners that Crystalline Conflict players complain about most often.
These include uncooperative behavior, taunts, and aggressive outbursts.
For the latter two, Yoshida has written out several examples of inappropriate behavior that he asks gamers to refrain from:Excessive use of the phrase \"Good job!\" in chat in situations that disadvantage the team.Excessive use of the phrase \"Good match!\" in chat before the outcome of the round has even been decided.
Constant spamming in chat of a certain phrase.Constant spamming of a tag on an ally.Excessive use of one emotion or dance over a defeated opponent.Firing fireworks at a fallen enemy.Insulting and humiliating a gamer in chat or in other ways already after the match.Slander to users outside the game.
For example, through social networks.It is specified that the above list of rules of good manners is not limited.
\"It matters how your actions affect the recipient and other players around you, as well as the intent behind the action,\" Yoshida writes.If someone's antics are complained about more than once, that player's behavior will be reviewed by moderators.
To do so, they will pull up the records to make sure the appeal is true.
Violators face from three to twenty days ban, and in the case of repeated or more horrible offenses, the villain faces permanent blocking of the account.Such a procedure for handling complaints is needed to prevent false accusations and remove the randomness factor from the equation.
Matches can be quite tense: in the heat of battle, someone may confidently hit the wrong button, or desperately try to communicate with the team, causing a barrage of identical phrases in chat.Yoshida thanked gamers for their interest in the mode, promising to keep improving it: \"Please continue to enjoy matches by following the rules of conduct.

In Wrath of the Lich King Classic there will be no dungeon search - it goes against the spirit of the classic

When Wrath of the Lich King for World of Warcraft was first released, one of the patches introduced a dungeon search system - it automatically found random people for \"dungeon\" and teleported them to the right place.
When Wrath of the Lich King will be released the second time, this system will not be there - the developers thought that it does not correspond to the spirit of the classic.This was announced during the announcement WotLK for WoW Classic, and then software engineer Kevin Vigue (Kevin Vigue) spoke about the decision in a little more detail.
According to him, the developers pay a lot of attention to the social component, as it is one of the fundamental features of WoW Classic.I had people I met in a random dungeon run, and then we became friends for life.
In my opinion, that's the kind of thing where Classic shines.
A lot of that comes from the way the encounters with other people are set up.The decision not to add a dungeon search was relatively unanimous, Vig says.
Instead of such a search, Blizzard will build a number of improvements into the \"Looking for a Group\" tool - they say it will allow you to find like-minded communities, but it won't disrupt social interaction.
\"Looking for a Group\" feels like something more suited to \"Classic\" - there's that social element.
You still need to get to the dungeon, and while you're traveling you'll be socializing - that's what makes \"Classic\" special.Wrath of the Lich King for World of Warcraft Classic launches during 2022.
