Players win CoD Warzone so unfairly that your exploit will be fixed immediately

In the Warzone of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there was a major exploit that made a player duo practically immortal. It was so unfair that a fix was immediately deployed.

What was the exploit? The new and popular Battle Royale Warzone uses, as is typical for the genre, a mechanic that makes the playing field gradually smaller. For this, gas is distributed in the death zone that slowly but surely kills players.

The two players MightyKonsti and Steve_Furz also ended up in the gas zone. But instead of dying there, they found a way to continue living indefinitely.

When you die in Call of Duty: Warzone, you first land in a downstate, from which other players can revive you, similar to Borderlands 3 or Guild Wars 2.

However, in Warzone there was no penalty for multiple deaths in a row. Additionally, the hit points were related to how quickly you are revived. And that’s exactly why the two players survived, even though the gas was supposed to kill them.

How did Infinity Ward respond? After the exploit gained notoriety, the developer Infinity Ward responded and released a playlist update on March 12 that fixed this exact issue.

Although there is no exact description of the change, players have reported on reddit that you are now revived with 25% of your hit points.

In the gas zone, this now leads to death so quickly that players can no longer revive each other.

Warzone is a success, but still has weaknesses

How is Warzone performing? The new game mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which can also be played for free and without owning the shooter, is well received by players.

In the first 24 hours, more than 6 million players tested the new Warzone (via Twitter). The new Battle Royale also made an immediate impact on Twitch.

However, the game was not released without bugs.

At the start of the game, you jump out of an airplane. However, some players use a dirty tactic

What are the problems with Warzone? Players report on reddit about massive FPS issues and lags. Infinity Ward itself has published a form through which players can report technical issues on PC (via reddit).

The partially huge updates that Call of Duty continually releases also generate running gags in the community.

However, some bugs related to Warzone lead to amusing situations:

Destiny 2: How to complete the “Seraph Tower”, the PvE event in Season 10

The Season of the Worthy has brought the new activity “Seraph Tower” to Destiny 2. Learn in our guide how to master this challenging PvE event.

What is the Seraph Tower? In Season 10 of Destiny 2, you can expect the seasonal PvE activity “Seraph Tower”. It is a public event, similar to the Escalation Protocol.

This guide will explain how the Seraph Towers work, what rewards are available, and provide tips for a successful completion.

Where does the event start? The “Seraph Tower” activity can be found in Season 10 in three locations:

  • The EDZ
  • The Moon
  • On Io

It begins for all players nearby as soon as the Seraph Tower is manually activated. No keys or resource contributions are required; just operate the control panel in the center.

Seraph Tower EDZ Destiny 2

It is currently unknown if there will be a heroic version during Season 10. We will update the guide here as needed.

The Flow of the “Seraph Tower” Event

This is how the Seraph Tower works: Your goal is to charge the Seraph Tower. You have a total of 7 minutes to do this, and if the timer hits 0, the activity ends immediately. The power level is set at 980.

Unlike what the name suggests, the event consists of not one, but four towers:

  • 1 main tower is located in the center
  • 3 auxiliary towers are spread throughout the area

In addition to the mechanics, countless enemies will make the event more challenging. There are many adds, but occasionally stronger majors as well.

Seraph tower Destiny 2 Season 10.jpg
The auxiliary tower needs to be protected. In the background, you can see the main tower of the EDZ

What you need to know about the auxiliary towers: To charge the main tower to 100%, you need the help of the auxiliary towers. One auxiliary tower is active at a time, which is highlighted by a quest marker.

A square area lights up around the auxiliary tower. This is the protection zone into which no enemy should enter. If an enemy is inside the inner area, the indicator will shine red instead of orange.

At regular intervals, the auxiliary tower generates spheres known as “Polarity Charges”. If you manage to keep the tower free from enemies for long enough, you will be rewarded with 6 spheres. If too many enemies enter the area, you will only receive 2 charges.

Combat robot Season 10 Destiny
If you level up your War Mind bunkers, these robots will assist you in combat

What to do with the Polarity Charges? At the auxiliary tower, there is a fiery orb several meters high. If you throw the charges at this fireball, it moves ever closer toward the main tower. You must aim carefully with your throws.

Each fireball successfully delivered to the main tower grants the event about 15% progress. You will need to repeat this step multiple times. To be precise, you have to charge the main tower 7 times.

In summary: Always pay attention to which auxiliary tower you need to protect and drive the fireball with your charges toward the main tower.

Seraph Tower Event Destiny 2
Now it’s time to throw the charge against the fireball

Is there a boss fight? You will face two mini-bosses. If you manage to charge the main tower to 100% within the given time, two champions will appear. Defeating them successfully completes the event.

The champions are the adversaries known from the trial by fire. They have barriers or are unstoppable, for example. Make sure to equip the appropriate artifact mods to have a chance.

von Philipp Hansen

These are the event rewards

The most important reward is likely the seasonal currency “War Mind Bits”. You will receive 6 units of it. In addition, there are resources, Glimmer, and random drops.

After the event, the rewards will await you in two chests:

  • The first chest appears even if time runs out, but you could not complete the event 100%. In this case, you will receive less loot.
  • The second chest appears only after both champions have been defeated at 100%. To open it, you need “Encrypted War Mind Bits”. It contains the seasonal armor.

Through the bits, you can obtain among other things the powerful seasonal “Seventh Seraph Weapons”. We will explain in detail what the War Mind Bits are all about in a guide to the Seraph War Mind Bunkers soon.

The Encrypted War Mind Bits can be obtained from Rasputin’s bounties or by completing Legendary Lost Sectors.

Tips for successfully completing the “Seraph Tower” event

How to find teammates: You can start the activity with 2 other friends. However, especially at the start of the season, many guardians may still be underleveled, and three fighters might not be enough.

Since it’s a public event, you can encounter random other guardians. Using the fast travel feature, you can reload the area until you find yourself in an instance with enough allies.

However, this only works if there is currently no one in your team. So gather together only once you have found enough help.

These weapons are effective: During the activity, it is important to keep the numerous enemies at bay and not allow them to enter the protection zone.

These weapons are particularly good for add-clearing:

The legendary weapons can also be upgraded with the important artifact mods and thus gain an advantage in the boss fight.

This is how you quickly take down the bosses: The usual suspects will serve you best here:

von Philipp Hansen

These guardian classes are particularly suitable: Basically, you can do well with all classes and characters, and there are no strict guidelines. Your focus in the Seraph Towers isn’t the boss fight but rather the horde of enemies.

As in all PvE activities with many enemies, the rule is:

  • Warlocks can employ top Stormcaller for add control or bottom Dawnblade.
  • Titans can use exploding hammers or the mid Solar focus effectively.
  • Hunters should ideally use their Nightstalker’s arrow. This weakens and binds enemies to keep them away from protection zones.

WoW: Account-wide essences? Twink players rejoice

Twinks in World of Warcraft can rejoice. Essences for the Heart of Azeroth will soon be much easier to obtain. We reveal what Blizzard wants to change.

The players of World of Warcraft have had a major criticism for months a major point of criticism. The essences for the Heart of Azeroth should be more accessible for twinks, as they massively hinder the playability of secondary characters. After all, essences are an important aspect of a character’s power, accounting for 20% – 30% of a character’s performance, but they require extensive grinding.

Now Blizzard has surprisingly given in and is presenting a new method for twinks to obtain essences more easily.

How does it work? On March 18, Blizzard will release a new hotfix for World of Warcraft. With this patch, you will receive a new currency called “Echoes of Ny’alotha” from the current content of Patch 8.3. You can earn this currency from activities such as:

  • Severe visions
  • Attacks from N’Zoth (Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Uldum)
  • Raid bosses
  • Mythic Keystone dungeons
  • PvP

The currency is bound to the character and can be used to purchase essences for the Heart of Azeroth at MOTHER at rank 3.

How much currency there will be for the activities and what the prices for the essences will be is still unclear and will be revealed in the coming days. That will also likely determine how easily the essences can be unlocked for twinks.

WoW Jaina Blood Elf Female Heart of Azeroth title 1140x445

What are the prerequisites? In order to purchase the essences with secondary characters, it is necessary that you have already unlocked the desired essence at rank 3 on another character. If that is the case, you can also directly unlock the corresponding essence at rank 3 with twinks who have earned “Echoes of Ny’alotha”.

This should make the 6-7 months without new content a bit more bearable.

For which essences is it particularly worthwhile? Basically, for all essences available in the game. Especially those that are hidden behind extensive farming work, such as in Mechagon, Nazjatar, or the raid Eternal Palace. These essences often require days or weeks of farming to reach level 3.

The hotfix also brings another change, namely more corrupted gear.

Players are thrilled: In the WoW subreddit and on wowhead, players are almost unanimously excited about this change. After all, this is exactly what players have been demanding and wishing for months. Here are a few excerpts from comments:

  • “PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD N’ZOTH!”
  • “It was about time.”
  • “Better late than never, I guess. Good change!”

However, there are also a few rather cynical comments, like the one from Zen_Galactic:

Hm. A massive pandemic is sweeping the country and Blizzard has done something that makes twinks less of a headache.
Yes, the end is definitely near.

What do you think of the change? A cool new feature that finally makes twinks playable again? Or does it make everything too easy now?

Destiny 2: Trials of Osiris explained – Everything Important for the Start of the Trials

Many have been waiting for this. In Destiny 2, the Trials of Osiris are finally returning today. Here you will find everything you need to know about this new old PvP flagship activity.

What are the Trials all about? The Trials of Osiris are the most popular Crucible format and the highlight for the PvP elite in Destiny.

Week after week, Guardians came together there to fight their way to the Lighthouse. Because there, coveted Trials loot could be obtained, which could not be found anywhere else.

In Destiny 2, this was initially called Trials of the Nine. However, due to some questionable design decisions, the Trials could not match the success of the predecessor and flopped. In August 2018, the Trials of the Nine took place for the last time in Destiny 2. Then the mode was removed from the game for a overhaul.

With the Trials of Osiris, this PvP flagship activity is finally returning in a revised form in the Season 10.

Trials armor

Here is the trailer to get you in the mood: Destiny 2: The Trials of Osiris are finally starting today – the new trailer gets you ready

All you need to know about the Trials of Osiris

When do the Trials start in Destiny 2? The Trials of Osiris are a content from Season 10, the Season of Worthy, of Destiny 2.

The start of the first Trials weekend is Friday, March 13, 2020 – probably at 18:00 German time.

In general, the Trials of Osiris are active every Friday to Tuesday (until reset).

Who can participate in the Trials? The requirements: Basically, all Guardians who have reached at least Power Level 960 can participate.

Additionally, a fixed team of 3 is required. Because you will not be matched with other players for the Trials.

Furthermore, you need a Trials Pass, which you can get from Saint-14, the 14th Saint, in the Tower hangar.

Trials loot

How are the Trials played? The Trials are held in a 3vs3 format, with the game mode being elimination. You can revive your teammates, but not yourself.

The team that kills all enemy Guardians first wins the round. If members of both teams are still standing after the round time (2 minutes) expires, a zone spawns that must be captured. If you capture it or eliminate the enemy team, you win.

The team that wins 5 rounds first wins the match and counts a victory on the Trials Pass. You need to reach seven victories. A maximum of 3 losses is allowed. Then you need a new pass.

If you achieve 7 victories without a loss, you’ve achieved a flawless run. For that, you go to the Lighthouse, where you will get top-tier loot.

Power Level advantages are active in the Trials – What does that mean? In short: players with higher power levels deal more damage to Guardians with lower power levels and can take more damage from weaker players.

What about the seasonal artifact in the Trials? The mods of the seasonal artifact will be available in the Trials, but the additional power levels unlocked through the artifact will only be active during the first Trials weekend. After that, the artifact’s bonus levels will be disabled until a cap can be implemented.

Destiny 2 listens to criticism – resolves the biggest issue of the Trials even before the start

How does matchmaking work in the Trials? In the Trials of Osiris, opponents are matched based on the quality of your connection and your number of victories on the current Trials Pass.

Saint-14 – Vendor and Contact for the Trials: The Trials are managed by the 14th Saint. Saint is not only the new announcer (formerly Shaxx) for the matches, he also provides you with everything you need for the Trials:

  • Trials Bounties
  • Trials Pass
  • Trials Engrams in exchange for Trials Tokens

Every Friday, his inventory is updated and remains available until reset the following Tuesday.

What you need to know about Trials Passes: There are a total of 5 different Trials Passes that can be purchased from Saint-14. Each offers its own mechanics.

  • Pass of Confidence: Receive a bonus reward after a flawless run from the Flawless Chest.
  • Pass of Grace: Gives you a loss forgiveness per run (not counted as a loss).
  • Pass of Vigor: Without losses, a further victory is credited with the 3rd win.
  • Pass of Abundance: Grants more Trials Tokens after completed Trials matches and victories.
  • Pass of Wisdom: Grants bonus XP for Trials victories, based on the number of wins on the ticket.

Each of these passes is valid for one Trials run and tracks your victories and defeats in that run. Once you have 3 defeats on the pass, access to the Trials is denied. You then need to reset the pass or purchase a new one.

All about Trials Bounties: In addition to the passes, you can also buy 3 different types of Trials Bounties from Saint, which offer various rewards upon completion:

  • Daily Bounty: XP, 15 Valor rank points, and 2 Trials Tokens
  • Weekly Bounty: XP, Glimmer, 35 Valor rank points, and 5 Trials Tokens
  • Additional Bounties: XP and 2 Trials Tokens

The Trials Engram: The special tokens you earn from the Trials can be given to Saint-14 to level up your rank. Upon level-ups, a Trials Engram is awarded as a reward.

These engrams then contain a random Trials item that you have received at least once before.

Note: The tokens are only valid for the corresponding Trials weekend. All tokens that you do not spend will be removed with the Weekly Reset on Tuesday.

These are the rewards in the Trials: Players with 3, 5, or 7 victories on their Trials Pass receive a weekly reward that depends on the number of victories on the individual pass. Once you receive a third defeat, wins are no longer counted until you reset the pass or buy a new one.

The rewards are distributed as follows:

  • 3 Wins: Powerful Gear (Tier 2)
  • 5 Wins: Powerful Gear (Tier 3)
  • 7 Wins: Top Gear

The top gear can only be obtained once a week per class.

If you achieve a flawless run (7 wins, no losses), you gain access to the Lighthouse – a kind of exclusive social space for the PvP elite who have achieved a flawless run. There, in the so-called Flawless Chest, top gear awaits you.

By the way: Once the chest has been opened and you left the Lighthouse, you will need to achieve a new flawless run to visit the Lighthouse again.

Destiny 2 Honor

Special reward for flawless: A flawless run not only grants you access to the Lighthouse – everyone should also see that you were flawless in the Trials.

After a flawless Trials run, your Trials armor receives a special yellow glow effect. This will weaken over the course of a week. If you want to “refresh” the glow, you must go flawless again during the following Trials weekend.

As soon as you achieve a flawless run, you receive two emblems through which you can further adjust the color of the glow effect:

  • Light for the Lost: Glows white. Creators of Light carry this emblem when they help other players reach the Lighthouse.
  • Flawless Empyrean: Glows red. This emblem is carried by Lightbreakers when they try to prevent other players from reaching the Lighthouse.

Are you joining right at the start of the Trials? What do you think of their revised form so far?

Pokémon GO cancels Community Day in March – What else can be done?

The Community Day with Abra in Pokémon GO has been postponed indefinitely. Niantic announced this and cited the novel coronavirus as the reason.

What was announced? The coronavirus is also hitting Pokémon GO hard. In addition to various measures aimed at making playing from home easier, there is also the cancellation of the Community Day.

Initially, the event was supposed to take place this Sunday, but Niantic has canceled the Community Day. Infected individuals should not be incentivized to go outside.

Community Day with Abra canceled – When will the replacement be?

Is there already a rescheduled date? So far, the cancellation is indefinite. There is no new date yet because it is unclear how the coronavirus crisis will develop.

Pokemon GO Community Day Abra

When could the Community Day take place? Currently, various federal states in Germany are canceling major events. Other countries worldwide are following suit. Most cancellations apply until mid or late April.

It’s quite possible that Niantic is taking a similar approach. The Community Day is unlikely to take place in March. We will have to wait and see if we will have two Community Days in a month instead.

How can you use the day on Sunday instead?

If you have already cleared your day for Sunday, you don’t have to go without Pokémon GO. There are plenty of alternatives you can do from home.

PvP League
Compete in the PvP League

Here’s what you can do from home: Currently, the PvP League is particularly interesting. It officially starts the first season on March 13 at 10 PM. So be sure to check out our Tier List for each league and get your victory. As a reward, the legendary Pokémon Giratina is among the prizes.

Otherwise, you can benefit from an hour of incense. You can purchase 30 incense in a box for one PokéCoin, which will last for an hour each.

Otherwise, use the time at home to sort your Pokémon and send away unused monsters. Alternatively, you can evolve them with a Lucky Egg and rack up some extra XP.

Those with a few spawn points outside will currently encounter many fighting Pokémon:

CoD Warzone: Twitch streamer shows perfect weapon for the start

The Warzone of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare opened a few days ago and now the first meta tactics that can provide advantages in certain situations are beginning to emerge. At the start, you should probably grab a vehicle. Twitch streamer pokelawls shows how to start strong in a match.

What tactic gives advantages at the start? Jump out of the plane and glide into an area with many enemies. You can already see your desired weapon on the map, as it is a vehicle.

Look before you jump where a car is standing in this area and grab it right upon landing. Now drive around a bit and significantly thin out the horde of opponents who landed with you here.

The first minutes of a match in the battle royale “Warzone” of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sometimes decide the course of the rest of the round. With a few kills at the start, you often go into the battle with a completely different mindset. This brings better chances of victory.

An SUV brings the perfect round start

What does such a round start look like? The Twitch streamer “pokelawls”, known for his laughter, shows in a clip how this can work. He jumps into the popular landing zone of “Atlas Superstores”, grabs a vehicle directly, and starts his match in the best way – with a lot of kills:

Link to the Twitch content

Throughout his journey, the streamer takes out 4 opponents and stocks up on a basic loadout of weapons and equipment in between. He is also very pleased with the good start and is able to enter the next match with strong conditions.

Why does it work so well? The landing zone was full of enemies, some of whom even jump right in front of his bumper. A vehicle can become a really strong choice at the beginning. Because the vehicle benefits from the following points:

  • Area with many jumpers
  • Surprise effect
  • Few go for rocket launchers at the start

The CoD battle royale brings high tempo and rewards an aggressive playstyle, especially at the start. More on this can be found in our tips for the Warzone.

In an area with many enemies, players often focus initially on finding a gun and securing the environment. A Scar or MP7 is more likely to be picked up here than a rocket launcher. This way, you are relatively safe in a vehicle. An enemy with an RPG is the biggest weakness of this technique, which can otherwise give you a good advantage at the start.

What tactics help further? The Warzone has only been open for a few days and the best strategies for the huge battle royale are still emerging. But slowly a few methods are establishing themselves and there are even tricks that are not so obvious:

What tactic do you follow after the match begins? Do you prefer to land further away from the hot spots or go right in? The Plunder mode also brings a lot of action:

What still needs to be done? According to the developers, there is only a list of bugs to be addressed. Every day, J. Todd Coleman asks if it will be today. The team is indeed close to starting the beta.

How will the beta start? Once the bug list is addressed, the update will go live on the test server first. Shortly after, the team will deploy it to the live servers.

The beta should include almost everything that will also be available at the official launch, including the strategy parts and the building of a city.

Crowfall Frostweaver class
The Frostweaver is a versatile class in the MMORPG Crowfall.

The Frostweaver – A versatile class

What else has the team announced? In addition to announcing that the beta is close to launch, the developers introduced a new class, the Frostweaver. The Frostweaver uses ice magic to deal frost damage and protect itself with ice shields.

You can develop your Frostweaver in certain directions through the so-called promotion classes. For example, it is possible to create a healer who uses his frost magic to heal companions, but it is also possible to push him more towards combat. Then he can even wear plate armor.

However, a Frostweaver is never able to use pets. More details about this class will follow.

So we are close to the beta of the MMORPG Crowfall – Are you looking forward to it?

Diablo 3 Season 20: Best Classes, Best Builds – Tier List

In this tier list, we show you the best classes, builds, and equipment for Season 20 in Diablo 3. New sets from Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor from Patch 2.6.8 are included.

What is happening in Diablo 3? The start date of Season 20 is today, March 13, 2020. All participants of the season start again at “zero”. If you create a seasonal character, it starts at level 1 and has nothing at first. No Paragon points from previous adventures either.

Everything you need to know about the start of Season 20 in Diablo 3.

Playing this season is worthwhile for you if you collect cosmetic items from past seasons and completely new companions and portrait frames.

What makes Season 20 different? The new season theme allows you to create completely new compositions in Kanai’s Cube. You no longer have to necessarily pair a weapon with an armor piece and a piece of jewelry, but you can also choose 3 weapon attributes that are active at the same time. Players want to keep the season theme from S20, but Blizzard says “no”.

Who created this tier list? The tier list shown here comes from Diablo expert Bluddshed. The community celebrates the YouTuber and Twitch streamer (YouTube channel, Twitch channel) for his analyses, expert knowledge, and his experiments with off-meta builds.

He regularly publishes tier lists for current patches in Diablo 3 and shows the strongest classes and builds in the current meta.

We present Bluddshed’s tier list for Season 20 of Diablo 3 here. Even with his tier list for Season 19, the expert was very accurate.

Diablo 3 Season 20 Tier List BluddShed
The builds highlighted in red are also playable in Hardcore – Source: Bluddshed (YouTube)

What do the tiers in the tier list mean? This tier list assigns builds from Season 20 to various potential tiers. Builds in the “S” category are considered the strongest of the season. Builds in the “C” category are weaker.

Despite these tiers, all builds are good. A build from the C tier can be played well and can also push Greater Nephalem Rifts. However, builds from the S tier have more potential to reach higher G-Rifts.

In general, this tier list should be seen as a rough guide and not as the absolute truth. The listing could still change during the season.

With all these builds, you can complete Greater Rifts level 70 without further problems. You need this milestone to unlock the ancient items. They are among the strongest items in Diablo 3.

You will learn here: On this and the next pages, we introduce you to the three potentially best builds for each class. By clicking on the name of the build, you will be redirected to corresponding websites that show you all items, skills, and gems that the respective build requires.

With the Barbarian, you will find one of the strongest sets from Season 20. With WW-Rend, you will be well-served if you want to reach the top in the Greater Nephalem Rifts. But the new set also performs well and should be tried out.

  • S-Tier: WW-Rend (via Diablofans.com) – Many of you loved the Whirlwind Barbarian in Season 19. Even in Season 20, the Whirlwind is still at the forefront and will likely lead the rankings in solo pushing. – By the way, also super suitable for speed farming.
  • A-Tier: Frenzy (via Diablofans.com) – The new Barbarian set, Horde of the Ninety Savages, brings the Frenzy build back into the top lists of Diablo 3. Try this set with this build. Even if it is not the strongest, you will have a lot of fun with this build.
  • B-Tier: Seismic Barb (Seismic Slam) (via Diablofans.com) – A build that allows you to be mobile and not have to stand inside the mobs. In Season 19, the Seismic Barb was still in tier A, but now it has to make way for stronger builds.

Due to Coronavirus – You don’t have to go outside for Pokémon GO

Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO, is doing its part to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. There are various bonuses that encourage you not to leave the house.

Update March 14: There are now two more measures against the spread of the coronavirus. You can find them here.

What has changed? There are various bonuses that you can take advantage of from home. One should not have the temptation to go outside because of this event as a potentially infected person.

We give you an overview of what you can use from home now.

These measures are effective immediately

What Niantic is changing: To make it easier to play from home, Niantic has now implemented some changes. The following things are now available:

  • More Pokémon will spawn, so you don’t have to walk far for many catches
  • The item Incense is available in the shop for 30x for just one PokéCoin
  • Incense lasts for one hour worldwide
  • Gifts are now more frequent from PokéStops
  • The distance of eggs is halved
  • The biomes of Pokémon are relaxed, allowing for a greater variety of Pokémon
Pokémon GO Incense
30 Incense now costs you one PokéCoin in the shop

Do these measures make a difference? Of course, it is now easier to play from home, as especially the Incense attracts Pokémon everywhere.

However, the many Incenses do not help if you do not have Poké Balls. You will need to go outside to collect Balls. The reduced egg distance is nice, but it cannot really be utilized from home. You need to go outside for that too.

Some of these measures have already been implemented in the countries Italy, South Korea, and Japan. Several events have already been canceled there.

Can you utilize more from home? A major factor is the new PvP League, which starts on March 13 at 10:00 PM. Here you can also compete against trainers from all over the world from home.

Today Season 20 in Diablo 3 starts – What you need to know

Season 20 starts in Diablo 3 in just a few hours with patch 2.6.8. Everything about the launch, content, starter sets, and seasonal theme can be found here.

Update from March 13: We have updated the article with additional information, PTR impressions, and changes to sets.

When does Season 20 start? The new season begins today, March 13, 2020. As usual, the server gates will open at 5:00 PM, allowing you to create new seasonal characters and start your adventures from level 1 again. You can find out how to level up your character quickly in our Level Guide for Season 20 in Diablo 3.

This does not apply to console players. For Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, Season 20 starts a bit later, on March 14, at 2:00 AM.

Today is also the day that the Path of Exile expansion “Delirium” is released. So Blizzard has some tough competition among ARPGs at the start of the season.

How long will Season 20 last? An exact end date is not yet known. Usually, a season in Diablo 3 lasts about three months. The date may be pushed a bit forward or backward.

What changes in Season 20?

For the upcoming Season 20, Blizzard has again a lot to offer in Diablo 3. Among other things:

  • an exciting seasonal theme
  • cosmetic rewards
  • Haedrig’s Gifts
  • fresh patch 2.6.8

The seasonal theme “The Forbidden Archives”

What is it? For several seasons now, Blizzard has been introducing special themes designed to make the chapters unique. In season 20, everything revolves around Kanai’s Cube. Because you have the opportunity to fill the cube slots however you like. Here’s how to unlock Kanai’s Cube in Diablo 3.

You are no longer forced to equip a ring, an armor piece, and a weapon there. No, you can also simply toss three weapons into the cube.

What the Kanai buff brings in Season 20 of Diablo 3 and why players would prefer to keep it forever, we explain to you here.

Diablo 3 Kanai's Cube Chicken Build

When does this come into play? Especially in group play, the new seasonal theme is popular. This was shown in tests on the PTR server. One class that benefits greatly from the season buff is the Necromancer.

Cosmetic Rewards

Old and New: In Season 17, Blizzard began distributing rewards that have been available in Diablo before. This was meant to help players who may have missed these cosmetics the first time.

Therefore, rewards from Season 8 are returning in Season 20.

Diablo 3 Season 20 Cosmetic Rewards

But there won’t be only old rewards. Those who complete the entire season journey in Season 20 will receive the Bat Companion and a new portrait frame.

The new content looks like this:

Diablo 3 Season 20 Cosmetic New

Which Starter Sets does Haedrig give away?

What is it? For completing chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the season journey, you will receive Haedrig’s Gifts, which are equipped with set pieces. The sets distributed change with each season.

Here we show you the sets you will receive as gifts in S20 in Diablo 3.

Diablo 3 Season 20 Haedrig

What changes with patch 2.6.8 in Diablo 3? The new sets

What’s new: With the patch, three new sets will be added to Diablo 3. One for the Barbarian, one for the Witch Doctor, and one for the Wizard.

Just before the start of Season 20, Blizzard adjusted the values of the sets again. They should now be more balanced.

Witch Doctor – Mundunugu’s Regalia:

  • Set bonus 2 pieces: The big bad Voodoo now follows you and lasts twice as long.
  • Set bonus 4 pieces: When you enter the Spirit Realm, your damage taken is reduced by 60% for 30 seconds.
  • Set bonus 6 pieces: Spirit Barrage deals 20,000% increased damage plus additional damage equal to five times your mana regeneration per second.

Wizard – The Typhon’s Veil:

  • Set bonus 2 pieces: Doubles the duration of Hydras and increases the number of heads of multi-headed Hydras by 2.
  • Set bonus 4 pieces: Damage taken is reduced by 8% for each living Hydra head as long as one is available. Each time you take damage, one Hydra head dies. Heads cannot die more than once every 2 seconds.
  • Set bonus 6 pieces: Hydras deal 1,300% increased damage for each living Hydra head.

Barbarian – Horde of the Ninety Savages:

  • Set bonus 2 pieces: Doubles the effectiveness of all shouts. Frightened, frozen, or stunned enemies take double damage.
  • Set bonus 4 pieces: Each stack of Fury reduces your damage taken by 6%. Fury lasts twice as long.
  • Set bonus 6 pieces: Fury deals 1,000% increased damage per stack.

You can find the complete patch notes for patch 2.6.8 here on diablo3.com.

Which classes will you play?

You have chosen: Before the start of S20, we asked you which classes you will play. It turned out that especially Barbarians, Witch Doctors, and Wizards are popular among you. The three classes lead the survey results.

This is probably also because they have become more interesting to you with their new sets and you want to try out the new playstyles.

You can see the complete results of our survey here.

Tier List – Which classes are strong? In our Tier list for Season 20 of Diablo 3, we show you which classes and builds have a lot of potential in the current patch and can make it to the top in the big Nephalem Rifts.

Difficult Start Time with Path of Exile?

This is what players say: In the Reddit post of the Diablo forum announcing Season 20, players complain about the start time. “You messed up because you’re launching at the same time as the new league in Path of Exile. You should have started a week earlier,” writes Reddit user Quzoide.

von Andreas Bertits

The post has many upvotes in the thread. Players explain that they would prefer to play Diablo 3 for a week before diving into Path of Exile. This way, they could arrange it so they don’t miss either content.

“This will be a ghost season, with the same start date as the PoE league. How crazy,” writes flessi00 on Reddit.

But other players like Eamk explain: “There are still many people who prefer to play Diablo 3 over PoE. Myself included.”

What does Blizzard say about it? Nevalistis writes as a community manager in the Diablo forum and responds to the request to start the season a week earlier.

[…] In this case, starting a week earlier wouldn’t have given us the time between patch launch and season launch to perform last-minute bug fixes or balance adjustments. That’s precisely why we allowed for more time between patch release and season start. This is based on our experiences and player feedback. […]

Source: Nevalistis on Reddit

She states that such scheduling overlaps can happen repeatedly. “It’s more an unfortunate coincidence than anything else.”

Minecraft: 266 Blocks per second – This is how crazy the new Speed Enchantment is

In Minecraft there are many ways to move quickly. But a new variant is so fast that the game can hardly keep up.

If you play on a Minecraft server with many friends, you know the problem: The game world is huge, and getting from A to B can take quite a while. Many players simply build roads or tunnels for that. Those who prefer a more elegant solution build a rail network or a boat connection. However, the possibly fastest method was implemented with the latest snapshot (a test version) of Minecraft.

What happened? In the current snapshot 20w11a, which is part of a large patch to revamp the Nether, there is a new enchantment called “Soul Speed.” This allows the character to run faster on soul sand. Normally, you are slowed down on soul sand.

If you combine this enchantment with other effects, such as diving (characters are fast while diving), you can achieve an incredible speed. How fast this new top speed is, is shown in a short clip:

Traveling 1400 blocks in about 6 seconds using soul speed in the latest snapshot from r/Minecraft

How fast is it? In the shown clip, the player travels 1,400 blocks in 6 seconds. This corresponds to an average speed of 266 blocks per second! There is currently no faster method of travel in Minecraft.

A bit slower – but no less absurd – is this small demonstration of the speed buff. In the YouTube video, you can see what happens when the YouTuber docm77 taps the W key to walk just once. The game then accelerates him on soul sand (with water on top) to a high speed:

Link to the YouTube content

How do you get the enchantment? In the current snapshot, the enchantment can only be obtained through trading with the Piglins. This is a new species that lives in the Nether and loves gold – here we introduced the Piglins in detail.

Minecraft Piglin Gold title 1140x445
The Piglins might have the enchantment for you…

What is the problem? The speed leads to greater issues. Characters move so quickly with this trick that Minecraft often cannot load the corresponding “chunks” (a unit of measure for areas with blocks). As a result, it often looks like the character is falling through the game world. Especially on multiplayer servers, this could lead to significant lags when Minecraft tries to load the chunks crossed at this pace.

There is thus a high probability that this type of movement will be removed before the official release of the patch. But for the moment, it’s a pretty cool way to get around.

Destiny 2: Achievements of the last years gone? This is Bungie’s solution

With the start of Season 10, Destiny 2 upset many Guardians. Since the related overhaul of the emblems, many achievements from the past years can no longer be displayed. Bungie has now commented on the issue and presented a solution.

This caused frustration: Recently, Season 10 started in Destiny 2. And while many may be eagerly anticipating the return of the Trials today, another matter has caused bad moods among numerous Guardians.

With the Update 2.8.0, the emblems in Destiny 2 were overhauled among other things. Many of these actually tracked specific statistics and achievements of your Guardians in the game. However, after the patch, numerous emblems were completely empty and only displayed their background image.

Many players are therefore upset. For some emblems and statistics, Guardians had worked for years and were proud to display what they had achieved in their Guardian careers for everyone to see. This is no longer possible with all emblems.

In short: Many personal achievements from the last 2.5 years were simply gone with the patch.

This is Bungie’s statement: In the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, Bungie has addressed this situation.

It states that with the Season of the Worthy, all emblems have been converted to utilize the new stat trackers. This means that all emblems can optionally turn these trackers on and off.

When this system was designed, the goal was to provide players with more ways and opportunities to showcase their achievements.

Destiny 2 Thumbs up

In selecting the displayed stats, those that represented a performance that could be improved week after week and season after season were prioritized. They also focused on stats that they thought players would want to showcase and that would be significant for other Guardians.

Due to this decision, some stats were no longer included after the overhaul, as they could no longer be completed or improved.

While the studio generally believes in this new tracker system for emblems and introduced it with good intentions, the implementation did not go optimally, resulting in numerous achievements from past seasons no longer being visible.

This is Bungie’s solution: Apparently, nothing that was previously tracked is permanently lost. According to Bungie, all stats are still stored with them. However, some require more effort to bring back. They ask players for feedback to better prioritize.

The studio has now presented a first selection of missing stats that could be brought back in a future patch. However, when exactly this will be, the studio did not disclose. They only said that they plan to bring these trackers back in an update later in the season.

destiny-2-robo-titan-pc

These stats are supposed to return on emblems:

Seasons (for the entire Destiny 2 period):

  • Season 8 Season Pass rank earned
  • Season 9 Season Pass rank earned
  • Fractaline donated

Account (for the entire Destiny 2 period):

  • Kills as Sentinel Titan
  • Kills as Striker Titan
  • Kills as Sunbreaker Titan
  • Kills as Arcstrider Hunter
  • Kills as Nightstalker Hunter
  • Kills as Gunslinger Hunter
  • Kills as Stormcaller Warlock
  • Kills as Dawnblade Warlock
  • Kills as Voidwalker Warlock

Crucible (for the entire Destiny 2 period):

  • Gold medals earned
  • Longest glory win streak
  • Total valor rank resets

Locations (for the entire Destiny 2 period):

  • Number of “Pit of Heresy” solo flawless completions

Note: The list is not yet complete and is to be expanded before the release of the corresponding update.

What do you think of this solution? Can you live with it? Or are stats on emblems absolutely irrelevant to you?

PvP in New World explained – The benefits of fortress battles and open world

Amazon’s new MMO New World now relies on a mix of PvE and PvP. New details about PvP have been revealed in a developer diary, which we have summarized for you.

How is the PvP structured? In New World, there will primarily be two types of PvP:

  • Fortress battles that take place in a shielded area
  • “Open World” PvP that can be activated and deactivated independently in safe settlements

Additionally, you can join one of three factions, which fight against each other in the MMO. This way, you have allies to support you in battle and are not left alone.

The PvP system thus differs significantly from the first alpha, which focused almost exclusively on player battles in the open world.

This article was originally created on January 18, 2020, and was updated on March 13, 2020. We have added new information about the factions and the fortress battles.
New-World-Krieg-1140x445
The battles for the fortresses are supposed to be particularly fun

Why were the changes made? According to developer statements, the permanent PvP was a problem. Experienced players often eliminated newcomers early, causing them to lose interest in New World.

Additionally, this led to acts of revenge by groups that poisoned the atmosphere in the MMO.

The new structure, on the other hand, is intended to be more newcomer-friendly and attract PvE fans. Therefore, harsh punishments such as “Full Loot” upon death were removed.

Because Amazon has owned me, the new MMO New World comes without forced PvP
von Leya Jankowski

Do I have to play PvP in New World? No, you are not forced to activate PvP in the MMO at all. The world should also allow you to experience it as a PvE player.

Despite the changes, PvP should continue to play an important role in New World. Only through this system can fortresses be conquered and defended: an important aspect in the endgame.

Even in the open world, there should be incentives in the form of additional rewards to activate PvP. According to the developers, a good balance between PvE and PvP is the goal.

Fortress battles – 50v50 by agreement

How do fortress battles work? In fortress battles, two companies face off against each other. One company attacks the fortress while the other defends it. This proceeds as follows:

  • A guild declares war. The defending guild, on the other hand, has set specific times when they are ready for battle. This is to prevent a fortress from being overrun without defenders.
  • The battle for a fortress takes place in a shielded area. The area is not directly instantiated but can only be entered by participants of the battle.
  • A maximum of 50v50 can participate.
  • There are siege weapons for attackers.
  • There are intended to be different stages during a siege.

The winner gains or retains control of the fortress. Only through PvP will there be an opportunity for fortresses to change ownership.

One of the stages in the fortress battles: Capturing points outside

How is a war declared? Before you can declare war on a fortress and thus a territory, your company must strengthen its influence there.

This can be achieved through both PvE and PvP missions. In the latter, you will be automatically marked for “Open World” PvP and must also expect attacks from hostile players.

What are companies? Companies are somewhat like guilds in New World. A company always belongs to a faction and can control and upgrade a fortress. It is led by a player who founded it, who can share many rights with other members of the company.

While you can never switch factions in the game, switching companies is possible.

New World Explosion
The goal of every battle: Opening the fortress gates

PvP in the Open World optional, but rewarding

How does PvP work in the open world? In the open world, you have the option to activate or deactivate PvP. Those who are experienced and eager for fights can find them at any time.

However, actively having PvP poses a certain risk. That’s why there should be rewards for it, including:

  • Better loot when defeating PvE creatures
  • More XP
  • Loot upon victory over other players

Is there “Full Loot” in New World? While there was “Full Loot” upon death in the first alpha, you no longer lose your inventory now.

The penalty now lies in time. You must therefore make the long journey from the safe settlement back into the wild again.

New World Bear Wilderness
Not only other players but also dangerous PvE creatures lurk in the world

When can you participate in PvP? Only at level 10 can you join one of the three play factions. Before that, no PvP is possible.

Only when you have familiarized yourself somewhat with the MMO will you unlock the corresponding options.

Dynamic battles in New World

What is the combat system like? For PvP to be really fun, there needs to be a correspondingly good combat system. New World relies on an action combat system and dispenses with tab-targeting.

In the first videos about the combat system, everything looks very dynamic. There are dodges and skills that allow you to leap at opponents.

There are no classes in New World. Instead, your equipment determines your playstyle. Weapons are used that resemble those from the 17th century. For the first time, sword and bow encounter gunpowder and ammunition.

Destiny 2: New exploit discovered before Trials start – Bungie disables Exotic

In Destiny 2, shortly before the start of the Trials of Osiris, an exploit was discovered that can give the Hunter a huge advantage in PvP. Bungie reacted and has disabled an Exotic that has just been introduced to the game.

What are the Trials? Today, on March 13, in Season 10, the Trials finally return after a long forced break – but as Trials of Osiris and no longer as Trials of the Nine. This is a PvP pinnacle activity and arguably the most popular crucible format of Destiny.

Here’s a little preview: Destiny 2: Today, the Trials of Osiris finally start – new trailer sets the mood

And here you can find everything important about the Trials: Trials of Osiris explained – Everything important for the start of the Trials

What have the players discovered? Just before the start of the Trials of Osiris, players discovered an exploit that allows the Arc Hunter to gain a significant, unfair advantage in PvP.

With the new Hunter Exotic from the Season of Worthy, the Exotic chest armor Raiju’s Harness, it is possible to essentially maintain the Arc Staff Super’s Whirlwind Protection indefinitely.

destiny-2-arkus-akrobat-kabal

How is Bungie reacting? The exploit was discovered several days ago, but on the eve of the Trials, Bungie finally reacted. As reported by the Bungie Help account on Twitter, the new armor Exotic has now been disabled.

How long, they did not reveal. It is only said “until a fix can be released at a later time.” However, Raiju’s Harness will definitely not play a role at the start of the Trials.

Is the problem solved now? The problem with the infinite Whirlwind is resolved. However, players are already trying to highlight another problem with the Arc Hunter that occurs even without the new Hunter Exotic.

If you use the lower focus tree as an Arc Hunter and get killed, you retain the amount of super energy you had at the time of death upon respawning in PvP. This apparently happens every time and completely without the “help” of the disabled Hunter Exotic.

https://twitter.com/Lachegga/status/1237563208958787585?s=20

However, it is not known whether this problem can also be solved before the start of the Trials. However, the German community manager Maurice Zerjav stated that they are working on the issue.

By the way, Destiny 2 has made its servers safer for the Trials and is preparing against cheaters:

Wolcen – Action RPG Hit on Steam

Genre: Hack & SlashDeveloper: WOLCEN Studio | Platform: PC | Release Date: February 13, 2020 | Model: Buy2Play

What is Wolcen? Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a new action RPG that was released in February 2020. Wolcen was originally developed by an indie developer under the name “Umbra” and was renamed some time before the release.

In terms of game design, Wolcen strongly resembles Diablo, also indicating the potential success of Diablo 4 if well executed. At launch, the hack and slay had some issues, but at least the most severe problems have been resolved by now.

These are the Highlights of Wolcen

Wolcen excels particularly with the following features:

  • The great graphics
  • The good combat system
  • An excellent talent tree
  • Fun boss fights
  • Overall good value for the price

Wolcen is especially popular on Steam because it fills the wait for new highlights. Currently, many fans of the genre are eagerly waiting for Path of Exile 2 and/or Diablo 4.

Why Should You Play Wolcen in March?

If the successful action RPG has passed you by so far, now is a good time to dive into Wolcen. The worst launch errors have been fixed, and nasty exploits have been removed, so a restart should run smoother now than just a few days ago.

In addition, there are already many guides about the game available from us:

Wolcen has convinced our editorial team, and we can highly recommend it to you for March.

Destiny 2: The Trials of Osiris finally start today – new trailer gets you in the mood

In Destiny 2, the long-awaited Trials of Osiris return on March 13. Bungie released a trailer the day before that makes you really excited for the PvP content.

What does the new trailer show? The new trailer focuses solely on the PvP mode Trials of Osiris, which returns with the new Season of Worthy.

In it, you will be able to compete in 3v3 matches with other players to ultimately reach the Lighthouse. The battles shown in the trailer look very spectacular.

The video also reveals details about the game’s content:

  • The mode will only be available to you on weekends.
  • There are new, exclusive rewards for winning 7 matches in a row (Flawless).
  • It can be used by all players, regardless of whether they own Shadowkeep or the Season Pass.
  • Fan favorite Saint-14 will be the announcer in this game mode.

The Trials will be challenging and bring back Flawless loot

Why are many excited about the Trials? The Trials of Osiris were a PvP content that was especially popular in the predecessor Destiny 1. However, the version in D2 did not fare well, which is why it was disabled for several years.

Now they are making a return and will be “the raids for PvP” and very challenging. Communication with teammates also plays an important role.

We have already gathered 10 tips for preparing for the Trials of Osiris for you.

What rewards are in store? The video shows weapons and armor in an Egyptian style. Some look like the old Adept weapons. With these prestigious items, you could show off and had additional abilities that made them even stronger.

Additionally, new, colorful glow effects, the so-called Flawless ornaments, can be seen. With these, a Guardian shows that they managed to reach the Lighthouse this week, meaning they won multiple times in a row.

Trials-loot
The new gear is inspired by the original and glows

What about balance and cheaters? The developer Bungie has already prepared for the Trials. At the start of Season 10, there was a balance patch that made adjustments for the Trials.

There have also been upgrades in the fight against cheaters. So there should be nothing standing in the way of some successful and enjoyable rounds in the Trials starting March 13.

DrDisrespect has payday – signs multi-million-dollar deal with Twitch

After some streamers have turned their backs on the platform Twitch, it is now taking action and attracting more and more well-known faces. DrDisrespect has secured a good deal, as has recently been revealed.

What kind of contract is it? DrDisrespect has announced that he has signed a new contract with the platform Twitch. His agency confirms that it is set to run for several years.

While the exact financial circumstances have not been disclosed, it can be assumed that this is a contract worth several million dollars.

The significantly smaller streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys has secured an exclusive deal that brings “big money”.

Crazy video about staying on Twitch

How did DrDisrespect share the news with his fans? The stay on Twitch was shared by the streamer in his usual crazy manner with his fans.

A very elaborate video was created in which DrDisrespect is in the cockpit of a spaceship. He is having a discussion with the pilots who do not know what to do. He says:

Do you know the biggest difference between me and you guys? I really fly the spaceship.

Then he catapults himself out of the spaceship, flying past the moon directly towards the Twitch logo.

What else is special about the video? The video is very high-quality and elaborately produced, as described in more detail by the colleagues from the Hollywood Reporter in a report. The production took place back in January.

Originally, however, it was supposed to be a helicopter and not a spaceship. The concept was changed at short notice due to the death of Kobe Bryant.

DrDisrespect, the new face of Twitch?

Who is DrDisrespect? Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV was born in 1982 and has been a full-time streamer since 2015. He became known for his crazy personality, which he embodies as “DrDisrespect”.

In his early days, he played the shooters H1Z1, PUBG, and later Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, with which his channel grew. In December 2017, he took a break due to issues in his relationship.

He is currently one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. In the last 30 days, an average of 22,084 people watched him. At peak times, he reached over 50,000. He has played a variety of games, primarily shooters such as Overwatch, CS:GO, or Escape from Tarkov (via Sullygnome).

The Doctor has even had a match with the feared Undertaker

What has changed for the streamers? In 2019, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “shroud” Grzesiek left the streaming platform and moved to Mixer. It simply offered more money and ensured that both streamers were no longer so dependent on their viewers.

However, the switch also allowed for new deals on Twitch, as it now had to fight for the retention of the streamers. Useful are agencies that take care of new contracts.

Now, one of the most well-known streamers on the platform benefits from this. DrDisrespect has committed himself to Twitch for the long term. We can be curious to see how this will affect his future streams.

ARK Genesis: How to defeat Moeder, the 1st underwater boss

The Moeder is not only the first boss in ARK Genesis Part 1, but also the first underwater boss ever. It presents a great challenge, and we will tell you how to defeat it.

The Moeder is a massive, eel-like creature in the ocean biome of ARK: Genesis. It is the strongest underwater dinosaur in ARK and the largest creature in Genesis. We will tell you where to find the underwater boss, what precautions you should take, and how to defeat it.

Attention Spoilers: As this is a boss guide, spoilers cannot be excluded!

Prepare for the Fight

Proper preparation is crucial for this fight. The entire boss battle takes place underwater, and there are no air pockets.

Bring the following items:

  • Diving Suit: To breathe underwater
  • Medical Brew: To quickly restore your health points

These dinosaurs are helpful:

  • 1 Megachelon: Equipped with a saddle, the Giant Tortoise can produce air and serves as an emergency solution when you run out of breath.
  • A few X-Mosasauruses: They have very high stats and can be equipped with a TEK saddle to shoot the boss from a distance.
  • A few X-Megalodons: Can be equipped with a TEK saddle to shoot at enemies.
ARK-Mosasaurus-TEK
The Mosasaurus with the TEK saddle is perfect for the fight

Train your dinosaurs to have sufficient health; the Mosasaurs should ideally have 30,000 to 50,000 health points. The Megalodons can remain at about 7,000 to 10,000. However, be prepared for some of your dinosaurs to die.

Here You Find the Moeder Boss

The underwater boss does not just swim around anywhere in the ocean biome. Instead, you need to find a mission terminal and teleport yourself to the boss arena. You will find the terminal at position 39.4 – 52.0.

You can easily find the terminal if you command your drone HLN-A to show the position of the mission “One Tough Moeder”.

Boss Details and Battle Progression

The Stats of Moeder

You can fight the boss in 3 difficulty levels:

  • Gamma
  • Beta
  • Alpha

It is recommended to start at the Gamma level. The higher the level, the higher the health points and damage of Moeder.

  • Gamma: 490,000 health points | 180 base damage
  • Beta: 686,000 health points | 360 base damage
  • Alpha: 960,400 health points | 520 base damage

In comparison, an Alpha T-Rex has a base damage of 170, while a Giganotosaurus has a value of 1000.

This is How the Moeder Boss Fight Goes

Moeder essentially has 2 phases that alternate constantly:

  • Phase 1: Moeder minions appear and attack you. Meanwhile, Moeder is invulnerable and hides
  • Phase 2: Once all minions are eliminated, Moeder appears and attacks

The Moeder minions are thick eels that will heat you up with their electric shocks. If you ride a dinosaur, you will still take damage from the shocks. It is best to defeat them from a distance. The Megalodons and Mosasaurs with their TEK saddles are suitable for this.

Once the minions are defeated, Moeder will emerge from her hole and attack in close combat. Occasionally, she spits out electric orbs that you should dodge. Moeder herself has a large hitbox and moves slowly. You can also lure her behind you and continually attack her from a distance.

The two phases alternate regularly, and a whirlpool occasionally appears. If you get caught in it, you will be thrown around and take damage.

If you run out of air, move to the Giant Tortoise that you leave somewhere at the edge of the arena. It is best to bring two diving tanks anyway to be prepared.

ARK TEK – These Are Your Rewards

If you defeat Moeder, you will receive a lot of Hexagon as a mission reward, the currency in ARK Genesis. You will also unlock various TEK equipment:

  • Gamma: TEK Generator | TEK Trough | TEK Sensor
  • Beta: TEK Gloves | TEK Boots | TEK Helmet
  • Alpha: TEK Teleporter | TEK Force Field | TEK Grenade Launcher

The Moeder can also drop various items, such as an Astrocetus TEK saddle, which you need for the Space Whale.

Guild Wars 2 surprisingly announces 3rd expansion, players are excited

In a blog post, Guild Wars 2 has provided insight into future plans. In addition to the roadmap for summer, a third expansion has also been announced. No one expected this ahead of time.

What happened? In a post titled “Outlook on Spring, Summer, and the Future,” Guild Wars 2 has released a roadmap for the coming months.

New episodes of the Living World, festivals, and content for PvP and WvW are announced. However, at the end of the post, there is also a hint at content beyond summer.

And it is exactly here that a third expansion is announced.

What kind of announcement is this? The announcement states that ArenaNet is working on a third expansion for Guild Wars 2. However, it is still too early to discuss details.

So far, we can only speculate about what the exact contents will be. Only a short teaser image has been released.

From this teaser image, some draw conclusions about Cantha, a continent from Guild Wars 1 that had an Asian flair. It is certainly possible after this image, as it reveals an Asian city and a suitable color scheme.

Fans are excited because no one expected it

Why are the players so excited? After the second expansion Path of Fire in September 2017, ArenaNet focused heavily on the Living World. This refers to regular content updates that bring new areas, stories, and further content. There was even the official statement that no new expansions would be developed for the time being.

However, the subsequent Season 4 disappointed players, and the gap between episodes grew larger. 2019 then followed as the most challenging year in the developer’s history. A mass layoff and content drought in summer were the consequences.

Many had almost written off Guild Wars 2 at the end of 2019.

What are the players saying now? On Reddit and other platforms, players are currently excited. They are happy, speculating, and can hardly process the announcement:

  • Havenfaire: “What is going on here? Third expansion? Can someone please wake me up?”
  • WannabeRoleplayer: “This came out of nowhere. I jumped up when I read this section.”
  • Lowdrake: “Third expansion. Finally a reason to look forward to the future of Guild Wars 2.”
  • Sondo1001: “Maybe the deep seed dragon in Cantha?”

Only a few are hitting the brakes, suspecting that development could take a few more years or reminding players that Path of Fire seemed unfinished in the story.

Overall, however, a bit of euphoria seems to have broken out in a game that many had already declared dead.

Innovations coming in a week, roadmap for summer

What else is in the blog post? In addition to the third expansion, the blog post also provides insights into updates that will be released in the near future. Already on March 17, the Visions of the Past with content that players have long desired will come.

And in addition to PvE content, ArenaNet also announced innovations for PvP and WvW:

  • The PvP will receive the new legendary amulet “Transcendence”
  • World vs. World will receive the legendary ring “Confluence”

Both contents will likely keep players occupied longer, as is customary with legendary items. Additionally, a new 2v2 season is currently ongoing in PvP, which the author of this article really enjoys.

Plans for the 2nd quarter of Guild Wars 2

What happens after the update? Right after, the Super Adventure Box will take place at the end of March. This will then be followed by the third episode of the Living World, which is supposed to bring a large area similar to WvW.

After that, the following two months of the 2nd quarter will be filled with bonus events and the Dragon Rumble. In addition, the old Legends Tournament, a special PvP event, will be revived.

The Super Adventure Box is a highlight for players every year

How has the year been so far? Guild Wars 2 has already received an episode of the Living World and a big update for PvP and balance in the first two months of 2020.

So far, the developer ArenaNet seems to be able to keep its promise, according to which something exciting is supposed to happen every month. Allegedly, ArenaNet is also working on another game for consoles.

Fortnite: Here are the skins and cosmetics of Ghost vs. Shadow

With the start of Season 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you can assign your agents to the teams Ghost or Shadow. This unlocks a skin and cosmetic variant for each. We will show you what the outfits of Midas, Skye, Meowcles, TNTina, and Brutus look like, so you can make a better decision.

What factions are involved? In Fortnite, there is a “battle” between the teams Ghost and Shadow. You can assign your agents to these factions.

Here you can see what you need to know about Team Ghost and Shadow.

By assigning them, you unlock the style variants for your Battle Pass skins of Season 2 and related cosmetics.

Style Variants for Ghost or Shadow

The decision cannot be undone, so you must choose wisely. To make your decision easier, we will show you all style variants at a glance.

Agent Brutus – Ghost or Shadow

The first skin that you can assign is Brutus. The large, muscular bodyguard has 2 different variants that can be unlocked.

He comes with a white suit and a black one. There is also a back accessory and a glider.

You can unlock the back piece either in black with the Shadow logo or white with the Ghost logo.

Agent Meowscles – Ghost or Shadow

The muscular cat Meowscles can also be assigned to one of the two teams. With this agent, the difference between the two factions is clearly visible.

These are the style variants for Meowscles:

Agent Skye also has 2 different style variants. However, she is the only skin that does not adhere to the black/white theme.

The last agent that you can assign is the agent leader Midas. Here we again find the theme of black and white, but there is also a lot of gold involved.
