Diablo 2: Resurrected launched, it's authentic as all hell—but then the D2 servers took an instant trip to the Seventh Circle. For the last week, players have faced constant login issues and outages. And by the sounds of things, the poor server engineers must be absolutely hating life.

     The best Diablo 2 Resurrected Assassin build

Want to know what the best Diablo 2 Resurrected Assassin build is? The Assassin was first playable in the RPG game in the Lord of Destruction expansion alongside the Druid. While the Assassin has some great builds to offer those who choose this class, we've gone for the iconic 'Trapsin' build that specialises in creating deadly traps for the demons in Sanctuary. With the right equipment and skills, the Assassin can become the ultimate jack of all trades character.

Compared to the other Diablo 2 Resurrected classes, the Trapsin excels in almost every key area - she can tank hits, handle crowds of enemies with ease, and is reasonably simple to play once you learn her abilities. Place lightning traps around the battlefield and set your enemies alight using fire blast to clear any screen filled with enemies.

As with all of our Diablo 2 builds, the Trapsin build can take you all the way from Normal to Hell pretty quickly. Whether you're going it solo in the RPG game, or have a group of friends to fight demons with, the Assassin fits in perfectly as she can truly do it all. Here's everything you need to build the best Diablo 2 Resurrected Assassin build.

     Stellaris 3.2 will introduce new anomalies and a new ship browser

As the Stellaris development team continues working on November's 2.3 update, the team is also highlighting more changes coming to the patch. Today's dev diary goes through some new features and content, such as a civic that's inspired by high fantasy elves that didn't make it in time for the 3.1 patch. It's called 'Pompous Purists' and is for xenophobic empires who nevertheless see the value in treating with other races - so long as it's on their terms.

Back in May, the development team ran an experiment where a selection of players were treated to a new interface as part of empire creation, specifically an improved browser to see more 3D ship models within a set. The test was mainly to see if users would appreciate improvements to areas like this, and it must have been a success because that change is now rolling out to everyone in the November update.

Work has also been done to look at other more mature areas of the game to see if they can't be spruced up a bit. More anomaly variants will be included, especially in categories where there was only one variant available. The terraforming process has also been made slightly more interesting to break up how automatic the process can feel.

     Total Warhammer 3 devs reveal new Tzeentch Chaos faction, mechanics, and more

Creative Assembly has been rolling out an onslaught of Total War: Warhammer III news this past couple of weeks. Starting with Grand Cathay's official reveal, we've had everything from lore drops, to Cathay's campaign mechanics, to details on the long-awaited rework to siege battles. Today, the studio has officially revealed the second Chaos faction - Tzeentch.

We've known about these duplicitous demons for a while now, considering they're the primary enemies in all of Cathay's trailers so far, but now Creative Assembly is shining the spotlight on the faction specifically. We've been given insight into not only how Tzeentch factions work, but also how the different Chaos factions will work together in the campaign more generally.

You may have noticed our use of the plural 'factions' - each Chaos god in Warhammer III will launch with a single legendary lord, but the details revealed today concern mechanics that only apply to Tzeentch as a whole. Kairos Fateweaver will be representing the Changer of Ways at launch, and will get a dedicated breakdown at a later date. Creative Assembly plans to release more legendary lords for each god. "Future DLC and FLC that aligns itself to Tzeentch will use some or all these mechanics," the blog post reads, "as well as that legendary lord's specifics."

     How to get spectral pages and manifested pages in Destiny 2

Want to know how to get spectral pages and manifest pages in Destiny 2? The Halloween event is here, and there are plenty of treats that you can get by spending manifested pages at the Book of Forgotten: lore entries, triumphs, and cosmetics. To get manifested pages, you first need as many spectral pages as you can carry.

Typically, you have to grind for hours to get a handful of spectral pages, but thankfully there are a few ways to efficiently farm them, no matter if you're on your own or with a Fireteam of like-minded players. However, some methods are now better than others, and there have been substantial changes since this year's Festival of the Lost update went live.

You can only hold a maximum of 75 spectral pages at any time. That said, each method can be repeated and only takes a few minutes to complete. Here's how to farm Destiny 2 spectral pages as quickly as possible. After farming enough spectral pages, run through the new Destiny 2 Haunted Lost Sectors, and you can convert the spectral pages into manifested pages by defeating Headless Ones.

     Genshin Impact Tsurumi Island – stone slate puzzle locations guide

Trying to find the stone slates on Tsurumi Island in Genshin Impact? Tsurumi Island, a new location in Inazuma, has unveiled itself in Genshin Impact 2.2. The island is surrounded by dense fog that can only be dispersed by completing the Seirai Stormchasers questline. There are hidden stone slates across the island - these slates can be used to decipher text at the Chirai Shrine, rewarding you with experience and luxurious chests.

The new update also introduces new Genshin Impact hangout quests for Sayu and Thoma, a new Genshin Impact banner which sees Childe return, and plenty of updates to the Serenitea Pot. Thoma is the next character to join the game - he'll be joined by Hu Tao on her banner when Farewell of Snezhnaya ends.

Some players are having trouble with specific items not appearing on the island. If this happens to you, it's recommended that you restart Genshin Impact and that should fix the issue. Make sure you complete the Octave of the Maushiro quest as you need the Peculiar Pinion gadget to proceed. It's also worth noting that you don't have to collect the stone slates in any particular order.

Want to know the best build for Karlee in Back 4 Blood? Karlee isn't one of the best characters in Back 4 Blood, but she still has some killer abilities that deserve a spot in your team. Most notably, Karlee can sense nearby hazards and Special Ridden, so you won't be surprised when a Tallboy smashes around the corner.

This guide will show you how to make the best Karlee build in Back 4 Blood, so you can stop staring at cards and start using them. Of course, you'll need to unlock all the cleaners in Back 4 Blood before you can play as Karlee.

Often a game can feel frustrating because you can't make decisions that you want to. I had this initially with Song Of Farca. It almost kept me from playing it further, until I came back at it with a different attitude instead, thanks to a few conversations I've had lately about player choice versus narrative.

You play as Izy Song, a hacking-based private investigator in a fictional, dystopian island in the near future. And she's kind of a fool.

     Crysis Remastered Trilogy PCCrysis, the spiritual successor to Far Cry, was released by Crytek in 2007 to "Crytical" acclaim, heh heh heh. A tactical Sci-Fi FPS with refreshingly open map design, eye-popping environmental detail and on-the-fly character customization gave players a bevy of options to approach objectives, and pushed the envelope on graphics, physics, and character animation. Crysis was THE game to benchmark the limits of your PC, and was also incredibly well optimized. It got a sequel in 2010, which would gain a "Maximum Edition" in 2012 that included new multiplayer maps, game modes and features. Finally, Crysis 3 rounded out the trilogy a year later, in 2013. Crysis: Remastered Trilogy updates all three titles with higher graphical fidelity and minor quality-of-life improvements on PC. Most notably, Crytek has incorporated the latest version of its patented CryEngine into the PC build. This means incredible new lighting effects, 8k high-resolution textures and improved...
