The Division’s Public Test Server Is Live Now
The Division's public test server went live today at 2pm CEST / 8am EST / 5am PST for PC players.
This is following a delay which Ubisoft said was to have "more time to include key elements."
The PTS allows players to test the current built of Update 1.4, which is due for release in October. Ubisoft says the "first days of testing will be focused on progression between World Tiers," so you'll be creating a new level 30 character with purple items rather than transferring your own one across.

Keeping Hearthstone Vital More Than Two Years On
There’s been a lot going on in the world of Hearthstone lately. On Blizzard’s side we’ve seen the release of a new set – One Night in Karazhan, as well as an important step towards addressing Arena balance issues. In terms of the community, there’s been a lot of chatter about RNG in the game, specifically in relation to Yogg-Saron, which has proven to be far stronger than anyone really expected, as well as a general sentiment that Call of the Wild needs to be changed.
I caught up with senior game designer Mike Donais and associate designer Dean Ayala to chat about all of the above and more.

Feige on Why They Didn’t Kill THAT Character in Civil War
SPOILERS AHEAD.
Captain America: Civil War is based on the comic book story arc Civil War. The epilogue to that comic is called “The Death of Captain America.” During a Q&A to promote the DVD/Blu-ray release of the film, an audience member asked why Cap (Chris Evans) wasn’t actually killed off in the film and if there was ever talk of doing so. Producer Kevin Feige and directors Anthony and Joe Russo talked about whether or not that was ever a possibility.
Feige said, “Um, we never talked about killing Cap in this, right? No.” Anthony Russo answered, “We did for a beat, but we talk about everything…we do talk about every possible scenario, over and over and over again for months and months. So yeah, we had talked about it. It would never have made it’s way into a realistic version.” They explained that this film’s goal was fracturing the team completely before Infinity War.

Once Upon a Time’s Characters Are In a Rut
Time is a flat circle, and it seems the characters in Storybrooke are stuck in it. As Once Upon a Time enters its sixth season, the premiere sees the same problems play out between the same people in slightly different deviations of versions we've seen before. People only fall back on their bad behavior so much; if they aren't going to learn something from the mistakes they seemingly grew from in the past, it might be time to have them face something new entirely.
Spoilers for Once Upon a Time's Season 6 premiere, "The Savior," continue below.
Over the past few seasons, Once Upon a Time has kept things fresh by bringing in new fairy tale/Disney faces to enliven the series. From Anna and Elsa to Peter Pan to Hades, the constant revolving door of splashy guest characters has oftentimes shifted the focus from steady development of the core Storybrooke crew to the arc of the moment.
