Since April 10, the MMORPG Albion Online has been playable as a Free2Play game. This switch has visibly benefited the online game. The number of players has tremendously increased, and even after three weeks, there are still queues when logging in.
In the past 30 days, there have been an average of about 5,600 players online at the same time. At peak times, it was even 13,312.
In March 2019, the game had an average of about 330 players online and a peak of 758.
The Steam numbers are thus 52 times (average) and 16 times (peak) higher than in the previous month.
These are very good numbers. Especially the Easter weekend and the weekend following that were a great success for the MMORPG.
The record of 13,312 players was reached by Albion Online on April 28. Will this record be surpassed next weekend?
The Downsides of Success
What problems have arisen due to the success? This high number of players is causing the performance of the game to suffer. Queues are also appearing because too many fans want to log in. Some of these queues are over 6,000 players long. However, it is slowly stabilizing.
Nevertheless, there are still queues and lags due to the high player numbers. And this is three weeks after the switch to Free2Play. This shows that the success is lasting longer than one might have thought.
Why is the MMORPG currently doing so well? There are several reasons for the success of Albion Online.
Especially in Eastern Europe, the MMORPG is extremely popular. It is seen as the spiritual successor to the classic Tibia, which is one of the most popular online role-playing games in Poland. With the switch to Free2Play, many Tibia fans are trying out the title now. And apparently, they are enjoying it.
Generally, many players test a new MMORPG when it switches to a Free2Play model.
Albion Online is well received by PvP fans, as it heavily focuses on player-versus-player battles and territorial wars.
The MMORPG offers a lot of freedom, especially through its character system, where your equipment determines what role you play.
Team play is important. A good guild is basically essential for surviving in the world and achieving something. The team play is well received.
Albion Online offers players many challenges. It does not guide the player as much as other MMORPGs do. Many find this appealing.
The Free2Play system is considered fair, as you can essentially earn everything through gameplay. Although it is possible to spend a lot of money to progress faster, it is not strictly necessary. You can even earn the premium status. Spending money just minimizes the grind a bit.
Is Albion Online free of problems? As well as the MMORPG is currently doing, there are also some critical voices. The character creation with too few options for customization is a point of criticism.
It is also not well received that other players can take loot away from you. And if you’re not interested in PvP, you won’t be happy in the open PvP zones, as you can’t avoid entering these areas later in the game.
Will the success last? The coming weeks will show whether Albion Online can establish long-term success. So far, the situation looks good. If the developers can tackle the issues with queues and lags and continue to provide many new contents, the MMORPG could experience a second spring.
InCall of Duty: Black Ops 4, the new Operation Spectre Rising will be launched on April 30th with an update on PS4. Fans can look forward to these contents during the new season.
What are Operations in Black Ops 4? Operations are part of the so-called Supply Stream Progression. This system is intended to continuously supply Black Ops 4 with fresh content, similar to how Fortnite manages with Seasons.
The Operations in Black Ops 4 are essentially nothing more than Seasons. They also provide new seasonal content for the game at certain intervals. The latest operation is now called Spectre Rising.
This is what the new Operation Spectre Rising offers you in Black Ops 4
When exactly does the new Operation start? Operation Spectre Rising will initially start on April 30th on PS4. An exact time is not yet known, but updates and content drops usually occur around 7 PM our time.
The launch on PC and Xbox One will traditionally take place a week later.
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Multiplayer
Multiplayer enthusiasts can look forward to numerous new contents during the new season. Some of them will start in the launch week, while others will follow during the course of the new operation. We have summarized the highlights for you.
New Specialist: As previously teased, a new specialist Spectre, an old fan favorite, is coming to Black Ops 4. He carries a smoke grenade as specialized equipment, which is perfect for stealth kills. Only Spectre can see through this dense smoke.
Moreover, Spectre uses his special ability, the Shadow Blade – a sword. This shifts the view to third-person perspective, providing better visibility as Spectre dodges enemy fire with acrobatic moves and slices his opponents.
Spectre will be unlocked on the first tier of the new stream and will then be available as a playable character in traditional multiplayer and in Blackout.
New maps: Owners of the Black Ops Pass can look forward to the following 3 maps
Masquerade: Takes place at a festival in a densely populated residential area of Bangladesh and in a multi-story building of the US Embassy.
Artifact: Takes place in a rocky landscape of Iceland, where you can move in a platform-style manner across multiple levels and fight for advantageous positions.
WMD: This popular map originally comes from Black Ops 1, set on the grounds of an old, abandoned Soviet base in a snowy mountainous region.
Additionally, there will be an alternative version of the Hacienda map available to all players, which can now be played during dusk.
New weapons: These weapons can be earned from day one through the new stream:
Nifo’Oti melee weapon
Light Machine Gun (LMG) Tigershark
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Blackout mode
Here are the biggest highlights you can expect during the season in Blackout:
New map updates: As some fans have already speculated, the game world of Blackout will change as part of the new season.
Wetworks: The dam on the regular large map of Blackout will be blown up, flooding large areas of the landscape. The areas around Hijacked (Yacht), Cargo Docks, or the Farm near the shooting range are now underwater. You can also move around with boats there.
Alcatraz map: Game flow and layout will be improved.
New game modes:
Bounty Hunter: Find Spectre crates from which you can get his “Shadow Blade” sword as well as numerous other useful items like Level 3 armor, smoke grenades, and stealth perks. When you equip the Shadow Blade, you become Spectre with unique skills. Fight your way to the top in a constantly shrinking circle.
Ground War: Large-scale “team vs. team” battles that can descend into pure chaos.
New characters:
Uncle Frank (older Sgt. Woods from Black Ops 2, only with the Black Ops Pass)
Misty from the Zombies Victis crew
Sergei, Renzov’s prison buddy
Sarah Hall, a reconnaissance expert infected with CORVUS from Black Ops 3
Blackjack, the black market dealer
Mason, the main protagonist from Black Ops
New weapons and gear:
DART killstreak from regular multiplayer is now also available in Blackout.
Throughout the operation, new weapons, vehicles, and other new equipment are to follow.
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Zombies
New Gauntlets: Gauntlets are special challenges of the Zombie mode. They involve 30 rounds, can be repeated endlessly, and have unique rules for each round.
As part of Spectre Rising, there will be two new Gauntlets:
Super Blood Wolf Moon (for Dead of the Night)
Labours of Hercules (for Ancient Evil)
Additionally, Hard Mode Gauntlets are to follow. There will also be a new Mystery Box weapon (Tigerschark LMG) and two new features:
Classic Elixir Restock: When you consume an Elixir during a Zombie match, the empty slot will be filled with a random Classic Elixir.
Gauntlet Leaderboards for friends.
These innovations bring Operation Spectre Rising to the Black Market
New contraband stream: There will traditionally be a new stream with 50 ranks – for the first half of the operation. Players can unlock, among other things,
new weapons (Nifo’Oti melee weapon, Light Machine Gun Tigershark)
new Mastercraft weapons
new MKII weapons
new Blackout characters
new Specialist outfits
and more new cosmetic items like gestures, war paints, or jump packs.
More content is expected to arrive throughout the season.
New cosmetic items: There will also be two new categories for cosmetic items:
Death Effects: These change the effects of the projectiles you shoot. Instead of blood splatter, confetti rains down when you kill an opponent. All kills will then trigger the equipped effect.
Weapon Charms: These will allow you to further customize your weapons.

In Borderlands 3, you can already collect cool loot before the game is even released. This is possible with the help of Twitch.
Loot
is an essential part of the Borderlands series. There’s hardly anything
more satisfying than the good feeling of getting a fancy weapon in
the game, with which you can really give it to the crazy enemies in the
next few hours. It’s even cooler that fans can snag some weapons
and gear before the game’s release. All they have to do is watch streamers
play on Twitch.
How does it all work? Borderlands 3 uses a Twitch extension called ECHOcast. By using this, you can look closer at what the streamer is doing. For instance, you can see the exact weapons they are using, which talents they have chosen, or what kind of inventory they have. If you also link your Twitch account with your Shift account, there is another feature: Loot that the streamer receives can be used in your own game.

A loot piece from the streamer’s chest: Whenever the respective streamer opens a rare loot chest, all users of the ECHOcast extension have 30 seconds to activate it. After that, all users are entered into a draw, and some winners are randomly selected. These winners can choose an item that was in the streamer’s chest. That item will then drop directly into the in-game mailbox of Borderlands 3.
Loot before the release: In plain language, this means that fans can already collect their first loot pieces before the release of Borderlands 3. They just need to watch the streamers and pay attention to when they open a loot chest to have a chance at the extra loot.
When is the first loot available? The first gameplay sessions with streamers will be tomorrow, on May 1, 2019. Then our Leya will be able to play Borderlands 3, and anyone who wants can earn some loot that Leya gets her hands on.
How to participate: Anyone who wants to snag some first loot needs a Twitch account as well as a Shift account (register here). Next, you go to the account management of Shift, select “Game Platforms,” and link your Shift account with your Twitch account – done! Now you can snag loot when streamers are playing the game.
Will you secure some loot from the streamers before the game’s release? Or would you rather earn all the weapons yourself?
In Pokémon GO, players report about the release of Selfe, Tobutz, and Vesprit in the wild. Numerous trainers found the legendary Pokémon in the wild.
Here you can find the legendary Pokémon: Normally, you only find legendary Pokémon in raids or in research breakthroughs. However, reports of legendary Pokémon appearing in the wild are increasing.
Since around 5 AM, the special monsters have been appearing in the wild. Whether this is a mistake by Niantic or intentional remains to be seen.
What we know so far about the Lake Trio in the wild
Niantic has announced them: At 5 AM, Niantic posted a tweet about the sightings of the Lake Trio. It was assumed that they would take the place in the raids currently occupied by Groudon.

All the more surprising was that the 3 Pokémon can now be caught in the wild.
Where were the Pokémon sighted? Players report seeing the legendary Pokémon all over the world. Interestingly, the legendary Pokémon could be regional.
So the following Pokémon were discovered here:
Vesprit is caught in Europe
Selfe is caught in Asia and Oceania
Tobutz is caught in North America
Vesprit was already caught in Stuttgart.
On Reddit, players give a hint that the legendary Pokémon are supposed to spawn primarily around lakes. That would be fitting, as this trio is named after 3 lakes in the console games where they were found.
That’s why you should go hunting now: If you want to catch the legendary Pokémon in the wild, you should head out sooner rather than later, as many players initially suspected a bug at the release. How long the legendary Pokémon will stay is unknown.
However, it does not appear to be a mistake, as the Pokémon are still available in the wild. If it had been an error, it would have already been fixed long ago.
There was an error here: A similar mistake occurred with Schalellos. This Pokémon appeared in the wild for a short time during the night but then suddenly disappeared again.
Don’t miss the news: To stay up to date, follow our Facebook page for Pokémon GO and join our relevant group.
First gameplay footage of Borderlands 3 is circulating. It is unclear whether this was a planned Easter egg or a mistake by Gearbox just before the reveal. The hint on how to find the gameplay was hidden in an official YouTube video from Borderlands 3.
Where does the gameplay come from? Gearbox has introduced a new feature that allows players to earn loot in Borderlands 3 by watching Twitch diligently. This feature was presented in a short YouTube video. This YouTube video is therefore official and was nicely uploaded to the Borderlands 3 YouTube channel.
At one point in the video, an absurdly long name appears: “xfvkhjrvufoqpn3qwvmggipsd.“
Here in a video from the official channel, you can see a Twitch account name.
This was probably the name of a Twitch account. A user looked at this account on Twitch, it says on reddit, and found a clip.
This clip shows gameplay from Borderlands 3. It is about 26 seconds long.
Although the video was quickly deleted on Twitch, there are now mirrors (via streamable) circulating that show the gameplay.
Why are we seeing this already? It is not clear whether this was a mistake or if Borderlands 3 is hiding an Easter egg here to further hype.
What does the clip show? The actual clip shows an opened chest with some weapons:
there is a green weapon
a green grenade
and a gray weapon in a second box
In the background, Claptrap is chattering. He presents it as if this were currently a TV show and viewers have the chance to win every loot they are currently seeing.
Here are two screenshots from the clip that show the interface and weapons.
What happens next? On May 1, the gameplay is supposed to be officially shown at a big event. First, Gearbox wants to present Borderlands 3 itself, then streamers from around the world will get to take control.
Leya from MeinMMO will be on site and streaming the gameplay on MAX, the joint Twitch channel of MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro.
This evening, the Ground Event started in Pokémon GO. Now it is also known which bonuses are active for you.
Update: The Ground Event started on April 29th at 10:00 PM. The bonuses are:
Increased spawning of Ground Pokémon
Shiny Diglett can now be found in the wild
Double Stardust for catching Pokémon
Double candies for catching Pokémon
Groudon appears in raids
How long are the bonuses active? These bonuses are active from April 29th to May 2nd.
Continuing with the original announcement:
What players look forward to: The Ground Event was announced in connection with an Earth Day initiative. If enough players collect trash, then a Ground Event will take place.
So far, it is known that over 5000 players participated in the initiative. This would unlock some bonuses, but part of it has not been reached yet. The initiative already ended yesterday, on April 28th.
However, Niantic has now provided new information. What bonuses have been unlocked additionally? At what time does the event start? Players are eagerly waiting.
The Earth Day Event – All we know so far
When does the event start? So far, we only know that the event is supposed to start today, on April 29th. So far, the event has not started yet. We assume it starts at 10 PM, as events usually do.
The Earth Day initiative is over. Now we are waiting for the announcement of the participant numbers
The event runs, according to previous announcements, until May 2nd. So you have less than a week for the bonuses.
What is known about bonuses? With currently 5000 confirmed participations, there are the following bonuses:
Shiny Diglett comes into the game
Increased spawns of Ground Pokémon
What players are still hoping for: So far, there is no confirmation from Niantic about whether 7000 players helped collect trash. If this is the case, then Groudon would appear in raids and the double amount of Stardust and candies would be available.
Shiny Diglett is already confirmed. The confirmation for Groudon is still missing.
When can we expect a confirmation? Since the event is supposed to start today, Niantic should also announce something soon. At the latest by 10 PM, when events normally start, we should expect a confirmation.
However, it is also possible that not over 7000 players went out to collect trash, which would mean not all bonuses were unlocked. We will have to wait and see.
A new raid boss should also be expected from this evening. These are the hot candidates:
With Mordhau comes a new sword fighting game in the style of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare or For Honor on Steam. Just before release, the developers released a new trailer and revealed the features.
What is Mordhau? Mordhau is a so-called “multiplayer slasher,” where you face off against each other on battlefields similar to shooters. Instead of various firearms, you use swords, axes, bows, and crossbows.

Read more about our privacy policy.
Mordhau supports battles with up to 64 players simultaneously, battling to the death in a realistic world. You can play in first or third person.
The name of the game, Mordhau, is derived from a particularly brutal sword strike that is frowned upon by many swordsmen. In this, the fighter takes their sword by the blade and kills the opponent lying on the ground by striking the pommel through their helmet.
This is how the sword is wielded during the eponymous Mordhau.
Here are the features of Mordhau: Mordhau offers you numerous features in the game:
Battlefields with up to 64 players
Horde mode with co-op and offline functionality
Special gameplay styles for melee and ranged combat
Character customization for weapons and armor
various weapons such as swords, bows, catapults, and ballistae
realistic combat physics that simulate the impact of hits
removable limbs
mounted combat
This is how Mordhau is currently received: There are no reviews and playtests for Mordhau yet. However, there is already a fan community for the game. The corresponding Subreddit for Mordhau already has over 6,000 members who actively exchange ideas.
The qualification for the Fortnite World Cup is in full swing, and in week 3, the first big streamer, Tfue, has qualified. He celebrated his qualification joyfully live on Twitch until his girlfriend interrupted and shouted to the chat: “Tfue has to stop now, he is drunk.”
That’s why the World Cup qualification was a big deal for Tfue: Turner “Tfue” Tenney (22) had been trying unsuccessfully to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup for the past two weeks. As a streamer, he was at a huge disadvantage because others know his tactics, stream snipe him, and he became a preferred target for attackers.
All the more exuberant was his cheer now. Because at the World Cup in Fortnite, it’s about 30 million dollars.
How Tfue celebrates his qualification for the World Cup
What the viewers see: A first clip shows Tfue’s gameplay that was enough for qualification. There, Tfue is still anxious and hopes that his 69 points are enough for qualification.

Once it’s clear that he has qualified, Tfue takes his stream viewers with him in his celebrations. He climbs out of a ground-level window and lets his family and friends douse him with champagne.
Meanwhile, the stream continues, and you can hear the shouting of joy from the streamer and his family.

This is how his girlfriend reacts: After Tfue comes back inside, he sits down at his PC and talks to his community. It’s clear that he is tipsy and can no longer express himself clearly. He explains that now that he is going to New York, everything else is trivial to him.
His girlfriend then comes over to his desk and says: “Chat, he has to stop now, he is drunk. Come on now!” Afterwards, she even says: “The softy weighs so little that he can’t handle it!”.
Tfue only responds that he is not drunk, just a little tipsy, but then submits to it.

Tfue is the first of the really big streamers to qualify for the World Cup. Before him, the Fortnite wonder kid Mongraal also qualified for the World Cup. The 14-year-old made it with his duo partner already in week 2.
Why do streamers have it so hard? The top streamers have thousands of viewers while they are battling for qualification. Some viewers are in the same lobby with the streamers and are essentially hunting them. Furthermore, their preferences are known.
Many streamers also simply do not belong to the top players, but are entertainers.
The streamer Ninja has not yet qualified for the World Cup
What stands out in the qualifications: If you look at the list of players qualified so far, you hardly see any names known from Twitch.
The streamers known for their gaming skills like Myth or Ninja had their great successes early on in Fortnite. Back then, they impressed in games “against regular opponents” with aggressive and advanced playstyles and made a name for themselves early on.
These successful pros from 2018 are currently not breaking through, while players are coming to the forefront who have not built large Twitch channels.
Players must spend a lot of time getting used to the “new Fortnite” and readjusting. Many streamers who mainly go for kills and spectacular play are at a disadvantage here.
These two players will certainly not qualify for the World Cup:
The Necromancer is an important part of The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. Fans are already looking forward to the Necromancer and his abilities related to death. Watch the trailer here.
This is shown in the trailer: In the new video for The Elder Scrolls Online, there is now an animated look at the Necromancer class. As a Necro, you deal directly with death. You can create corpses and then use them for spells and other abilities.
And that’s what the trailer is about. Smaller and larger skeletons emerge from dark power out of nowhere, dead creatures wander around like zombies.

What abilities does the Necromancer master? Necromancers can create numerous minions from corpses to fight for them. However, they don’t last long. So they are not permanent companions.
For the Necro to effectively use skills, he needs corpses for some abilities. Positioning in battles is therefore extremely important for this class. Skills that create corpses when none are available help in this regard.
These are the consequences of the Necromancer’s abilities: In Tamriel’s society, necromancy is despised. This means that you can be reported for crimes if you use skills of this class in sight of normal citizens.
However, this only applies to skills that are obviously necromancy. For example, if you make the dead rise from the ground. The healing ability “Shape Flesh” may look unappetizing, but it doesn’t seem to disturb the citizens, explains Kyle Nowak, the Combat Designer of this class, in the TESO blog.
To ensure that this legal system does not act too harshly, the developers have made some changes in the world. So you can quest in peace, without NPCs immediately reporting you and you receiving a bounty.
When will the Necromancer be available? It will be playable with the new Elsweyr expansion. This starts on June 4, 2019. Here’s why you shouldn’t miss this expansion:
Accordingly, the topic of the ban waves was also prominently featured on social media, such as Reddit. There are numerous memes, comics, and comments about the incident.
The ban wave was a major topic – fortunately for most, the penalties were later converted into warnings.
Some of the highlights were collected by the colleagues from buffed, which we have supplemented a bit and want to share with you.
Zedatronic made a screenshot of his Night Elf, who with modifications apparently has a significantly larger bust and clearly “questionable” clothing. She is quickly dismantled into her components, referencing the fate of some superheroes…
The user lolpancakeslol tries it with a screenshot of Goldshire, showing a guard. He felt a “disturbance in the Force” as if thousands of voices cried out in fear. Unsurprisingly, the “nude mods” were popular among regular guests of the notorious tavern of Goldshire.
However, there are also some users on Reddit who believe that a punishment of 180 days would still be far too lenient. When seeing such images and model adjustments, they consider a “life sentence – both in-game and in real life” appropriate.
“God remains in heaven because he is afraid of what he created.”
A large part of the users on Reddit seems surprised (and shocked) at how many players apparently used such modifications.
Did you know about these different model adjustments and did you use them? Or did you keep your hands off them? What do you think of how the community handles this?

In Anthem there are strongholds that function similarly to raids. You must unlock these first. Strongholds are challenging but also drop the best loot.
How do I unlock strongholds? Currently, there are a total of three strongholds in Anthem. You must meet various requirements to enter and play them.
Name of the Stronghold
Unlock Stronghold
The Tyrant’s Mine
Complete story mission “Old Friends”
The Temple of the Scars
Complete story mission “Return to the Heart of Rage”
The Heart of Rage
Complete story mission “Return to the Heart of Rage”
This article was published on February 27, 2019, and updated on April 29.
Every pilot dreams of the best loot to upgrade their Javelin. Strongholds are ideal for the best loot.
Tips for the 3 Strongholds in Anthem
In the following section, you will find a small guide to the respective strongholds. There are tips for the respective bosses and procedures in the strongholds.
General tip: Always read what is displayed at the top right of the screen in the game. Here it is explained exactly what you need to do.
The Tyrant’s Mine
How to complete The Tyrant’s Mine step by step:
Head to the first relic by simply following the marker.
Contain the relics by collecting 8 echoes and placing them at the relic. Then defeat most of the enemies until you can proceed.
Now head to the next relic, which is indicated by the marker. Here you need to collect 12 echoes and place them at the relic. Then defeat most of the enemies until you can proceed.
Now head underground. The marker shows the way.
There, you need to search the tunnels for eggs. The marker will help you here too.
At the eggs, you will find another relic that needs to be contained. To do this, collect 6 fragments and bring them to the relic.
Proceed to the next waypoint. You will end up in a large chamber.
You will encounter the spider-like “Swarm Tyrant”. You need to kill it. Once the Swarm Tyrant is defeated, the raid is complete.

The Dominion Furies have a new electric attack that hurts a lot. It’s best to dodge immediately when the Fury raises her hand. The attack follows afterward.
The fight with the Monitor does not differ from the story mission “Return to the Heart of Rage”. You have already completed it at this point. As a reminder: The weak points of the Monitor always move to where it next initiates an attack. This is indicated with a glowing yellow mark.
You will face a flight suppression zone, which you deactivate by standing in the large green circle and defeating the Dominion.
Venture deeper into the structure.
Eliminate all enemies in the next room and a puzzle sequence follows.
You need to solve two pressure plate puzzles. Two small pyramids that can be pressed will appear near the middle of the room. Press one of them and watch how symbols appear over three platforms on the other side of the room. Players need to stand on the platforms in the correct order to solve the puzzle. Repeat the game on the other side.
Ascend to the next platform and eliminate all enemies there again.
Afterward, seven control rods will appear that need to be clicked. Click on the rods as quickly as possible, as they will reset after a while. Only then deal with the rolling enemies.
Then proceed to the next level where some Zinder Breakers await you.
The Sunken Cell.
Next, go up to the next room where you’ll have to fight Dominion forces again. This time, however, the enemies will have turrets with them. However, once you finish the job, you can also open a chest.
Follow a slightly longer path that will take you underwater as well. In the next room, there will be Dominion and turrets again.
Once you defeat the enemies, there will be another puzzle. You need to align symbols on rotating plates. This puzzle has already appeared in a campaign mission from Dax. Activate a switch on a plate and it will start moving. The symbol that needs to be aligned is in the middle. Activate the switch every time the respective symbol matches on the different rings.
Continue through a tunnel that is locked by laser beams, somewhat like in the movie Resident Evil. For safe passage, stay down in the middle. At the end, there is a switch that deactivates the lasers and opens the door. Behind it awaits you again a chest.
In the next room, you need to collect 12 echoes.
The next passage leads you to the boss, the giant Fury “The Unfathomable”. Defeat the enemy to complete the stronghold.

In various rooms, pay special attention to the turrets. The elite homing turrets can lock onto you in an instant and knock you out of the Javelin if you’re not careful.
It’s best to leave the symbol puzzle to a single player and help with defeating enemies in the room. Expect Frost Breakers that can hit hard.
The weak points of the final boss are his metallic seals on the right arm and back.
The boss shoots purple beams through the room at regular intervals, often targeting Javelins. Additionally, he slams his huge arm on the ground, dealing AoE damage. During this time, it’s best to hold back with melee combat.

The Gnome Heritage Armor in World of Warcraft comes with a special upgrade. Because Gnomes get more than just new clothing.
The upcoming Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara brings a ton of new features to World of Warcraft. In addition to the Heritage Armor for Tauren, Gnomes will finally also receive their “Heritage Armor.” This will be earned through a questline and offers an additional reward, exclusive to Gnomes. The questline begins with Patch 8.2 at the Embassy in Stormwind.
What requirements must be met? To start the questline, two requirements for your character must be fulfilled:
A Gnome must be level 120
The Gnome must be exalted with the faction “Gnomeregan”
The possibly missing reputation with Gnomeregan can be farmed quickly by simply wearing a tabard from Gnomeregan and running through old dungeons.
G.E.A.R. – The Elite Gnome Unit.
Team Formation in New Tinkertown: The first part of the questline takes place in New Tinkertown. Here you will be informed that the Alliance has agreed to fund a special unit of Gnomes – and the player will be a part of it. First, some members must be recruited before the team is sent on its first mission.
You will go down into the depths of Gnomeregan – the polluted city is still overrun with hostile creatures. A stealth mission with gnome camouflage devices finally brings the team to an “Arcane Engine” that needs to be recovered.
The first deployment in Northrend: No sooner has the engine been recovered than the team receives a distress call from far-off Northrend. The landing strip Crankshaft is under attack – the perfect location for the first mission of the Elite Gnomes.
Troggs are attacking the landing strip, and you must defend it against the attackers. You have a variety of weapons to choose from that correspond to the gnome (slightly crazy) engineering style. In addition to mechanical, exploding chickens, a death ray, and plenty of homing missiles, you can test some gnome inventions on your enemies.
After the majority of the troops have been eliminated, it’s time to deal with the leader. This Trogg seems smarter than the rest since he even rides a Mechano-Bot and leaves behind a communication device upon his death.
There’s a Gnome behind it all: After you manage to reverse the communication device and locate the original sender, the elite team discovers who is behind the attacks. “Telzo Sparkspanner” has not yet made an appearance but is one of Thermadraht’s officers in the lore – he was the Gnome who polluted and ultimately destroyed Gnomeregan.
The signal can be traced back to the Storm Peaks – the next mission point.
The entire area of the Storm Peaks is full of Troggs and other minions that Telzo Sparkspanner has exploited. There are several missions in which the Gnome team uses various devices (including a shrunk tank that grows back to normal size) to eliminate numerous Troggs. Piece by piece, the team fights through the Storm Peaks until they reach the gates of Ulduar.
The Halls of Stone: The final step leads into the Halls of Stone. The defenses of Ulduar have been reprogrammed so that the team is viewed as enemies there. In the final battle, it is against Tezlo and his most dangerous robot – the destruction of which also leads to Tezlo’s demise.
After the job is done, you go back to the camp, where the reward finally awaits.
The Heritage Armor has many screws: The Gnome Heritage Armor is not particularly spectacular but fits perfectly with the story of the Gnomes, who are indeed genius inventors. With many little pockets, screws, and gears, it visually corresponds perfectly with the impression of a slightly mad mechanic. Of course, especially stylish are the glasses that have been flipped up to keep the eyes more free.
A special feature for Gnomes: Particularly cool is that Gnomes will receive another item. The “G.E.A.R. Tracking Beacon” is an upgrade for the flight master’s whistle. It ensures that the Gnome will no longer be picked up by a boring Griffin but rather that an elite Gnome aircraft will come by! Anyone wanting to travel in style from one mission to the next should definitely get this item.
This aircraft will pick you up if you are a Gnome.

What do you think of the Gnome Heritage Armor? Do you like the design of the clothing and the additional feature with the aircraft? Or would you have preferred something different?
You can currently test the changes of the upcoming Title Update 3 on the PTS of The Division 2. Here are the reactions so far.
This can be tested so far: The PTS (Player Test Server) is currently in its second phase. On these servers, the changes and new features of Title Update 3 can be tested. These include various changes to talents and gear sets as well as 3 solutions for blueprints, ammunition, and mods.
Developers Massive are collecting a lot of feedback from players to make adjustments to the update. Here’s what players are saying so far.
Players find: Here is where Massive needs to improve
This is how the community responds: Overall, the feedback for the update so far has been mixed. Many things are praised, but some changes are criticized.
The changes to the recalibration station are especially praised. With the current test version of Title Update 3, it will be possible to transfer values when recalibrating without loss.
Opinions are divided about the balance changes. Some adjustments have been made to talents and difficulty levels.
There is also criticism from a technical perspective.
Recalibration and Loot
The change to recalibration is at least a step towards transferring perfect values to a desired item more easily. However, not everyone is completely satisfied with this step.
What is the problem? Some fans criticize that obtaining perfect gear pieces is still too difficult. For example, ToastitoTheBandito states in the feedback post on the PTS how many factors determine whether a gear piece is perfect (a God-Roll):
A God-Roll mask, for example, needs a talent, the right talent, a suitable stat value (x2), and for each of these values, the correct type, which also have to be perfect. That’s over 3 RNG levels more than with weapons. And that’s for a gear slot that often has only half as many talents and values as others. That’s just unforgiving.
This calculation also leaves out the brand sets and their different bonuses.
Therefore, he suggests that recalibration should allow not only the transfer of values of the same categories but also replace different categories with others.
For example, one could replace a headshot damage value (Red) with a health value (Blue) and have more freedom.
Additionally, one should be able to freely modify one talent and one stat each. Currently, one can only modify a single value on the respective item. However, he is solely referring to armor pieces.
This is what players say about the balance changes: With the changes made to talents on weapons and gear, not everyone is happy.
The changes primarily affect DPS talents that increased player damage. Now, some fear that players might become too resilient in PvP.
Some are already afraid of a return to the PvP of The Division 1, where players could dance around endlessly until the enemy went down. But the changes also affect PvE.
With the latest PTS update, the difficulty levels and time-to-kill (Kill) of enemies have also been adjusted. Many agents view this very negatively, as they feel that the game is becoming too easy.
One will probably have to wait until there are more impressions of the effects on the live servers if these changes remain.
This is what players are saying about the technical side: There are many minor issues related to the technology or enemy AI.
Additionally, PC players are reporting significantly increased loading times. These should have been fixed in a maintenance on April 25. However, the problem still seems to persist, as several players report in the subreddit of The Division 2.
The conclusion: Overall, player feedback focuses on many details. There is no clear sentiment. Most are feverishly testing and discussing details and what could be improved.
However, Massive definitely still has a lot to do to satisfy players.
When is Title Update 3 expected to be released? So far, there is no fixed date. Only May is indicated as the targeted release.
He spent 24 hours with his VR headset on in Minecraft. In the game, that’s 72 days. How does the body react to the fact that days pass much faster when one isolates their head from reality?
This is what the streamer did: The YouTuber Apollow demonstrates his experiment on the YouTube channel of Disrupt. He wanted to try out what happens to the body after spending 24 hours in a VR game. He even slept with the headset on, and the first thing he saw upon waking up was the VR world.
He set a rule for the 24-hour challenge that his headset would always stay on his head. He then published his results on YouTube in an 11-minute video, detailing how the experiment affected his body.
Why did he choose this VR game? For his project, he chose Minecraft-VR because he finds many engaging activities there. This way, he wouldn’t get bored during the stream.
24 hours in the real world equals 72 days in Minecraft. The YouTuber wanted to find out what it feels like to experience so many days virtually while real time passes slower.
Maybe he’ll choose an MMORPG for his next attempt?
How did the stream go? At first, Apollow had problems with controlling Minecraft, resulting in several deaths of his character. However, he later got the hang of it and built houses.
During his stream, he took three breaks, which he used for sleeping.
Two breaks lasted about 2 hours
one break was longer, during which he slept for 4 hours
Throughout this time, the headset and VR goggles remained on his head. He fell asleep with the VR world in front of his eyes and woke up to it as well.
Source: YouTube Disrupt
According to his experiences, only the first few seconds after waking up are strange. “You wonder where you are,” says the streamer. But then the mind quickly switches back, and you continue from where you left off before falling asleep.
A problematic aspect of sleeping was that he placed the chicken farm in the game near the bed. Falling asleep under the clucking was a challenge.

Didn’t he feel sick while doing this? Apollow didn’t experience such negative effects. The exception was riding the boat in Minecraft. The small wooden vehicles are incredibly fast on water in Minecraft, which made him feel a bit sick.
This is how the stream ended: The last hour of the stream was the hardest. After all, he streamed for 24 hours and was on his feet for 16 of those. For the final moments, the streamer gathered fireworks and shot the rockets into the air to celebrate his achievement.
In Season 7, Destiny 2will nerf two of its strongest and most popular PvP weapons. A huge discussion around this upcoming nerf has erupted in the community. Here’s what fans think.
Which weapons will be nerfed? The two top hand cannons Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten are about to be nerfed. As Bungie stated in their developer blog, these two weapons will be nerfed during Season 7.
Nerfs and buffs occur regularly in Destiny 2. However, few nerfs have sparked as many and as controversial discussions recently as the upcoming nerf of these two top weapons. But why? Particularly these four aspects are hotly debated:
The weapons are hard to earn: Firstly, these are two top PvP weapons. Both are tied to lengthy and challenging quests in PvP and are difficult for most Guardians to obtain. Nevertheless, many players try for them, some for several seasons.
Some have just earned these weapons or are currently close to doing so. Others will never earn them. Yet others are still struggling with them but are determined to see it through. Until now.
Luna’s Howl
The weapons are too strong for many: The two hand cannons are dominant in the Crucible due to their perks. Their TTK is so short with the right playstyle that in the eyes of fans, few other primary weapons can keep up.
The meta is significantly shaped by both weapons. According to fans, there are hardly any alternatives if one wants to be competitive. While some expect exactly that from a top weapon and consider it a worthy reward, numerous other fans demand a nerf.
The weapons represent achievement: For many who have already earned one or both hand cannons, they have become a status symbol that says: “I busted my butt and completed this mammoth task. This is now my well-deserved reward.”
Most players spent a lot of time, blood, and sweat to earn these weapons. The effort is now deemed worthless in the eyes of many fans, even though Bungie continually emphasizes that they want to respect the players’ invested time.
Not Forgotten
The weapons also represent paid services: This is a major source of frustration for many fans: the two weapons symbolize so-called “Paid Carries” or “Boosting Services.”
Many who cannot earn the weapons themselves – whether due to lack of time or skill – pay third-party providers to fully earn the weapon or assist them on their way to this coveted prize. The demand has exploded until now. Up to 800 € or more could be spent (depending on progress) for both weapons – although it has become somewhat cheaper lately.
Many wished that Bungie would punish such players. But nothing has happened. Now some Guardians are taking satisfaction in the consequences of the nerf for the affected “cheaters”.
What do fans think about this nerf?
Just as there were various viewpoints in the discussions leading up to it, there are differing reactions and divided opinions after the announcement of the nerf. Here at MeinMMO, it was evident in the over 400 comments. On Reddit, the mood is not much different.
Some see the nerf calmly: Some, like user Sleeping-Ex, view the nerf calmly: “It’s actually a slap in the face for those who earned the weapon. On the other hand, the players who earned this weapon themselves are still strong in the Crucible and the ones who had to use a carry service to be able to use Luna still remain cannon fodder. So probably not much will change.”
Others are frustrated about the nerf: But there are also numerous players who cannot understand this nerf – whether they have the weapons or not.
For example, Alfalfa86 writes: “I don’t have either weapon. But I feel bad for everyone who has earned the guns legitimately or is still trying. They are the hardest weapons to get in the game, and they should be very strong and remain so.”
User Bakerman says: “This is unacceptable. I have spent a lot of hours on Luna and now it’s going to be nerfed. It’s just really frustrating.”
Some support the nerf: Conversely, some are looking forward to the nerf or consider it justified – like our reader Andreas Straub: “It’s about time! Such obviously overpowered weapons ruin the PvP.”
Marcel Brattig says: “I got Luna’s Howl last week, and it doesn’t really bother me. Quite the opposite. Playing the weapon myself reminded me how OP it is.”
Some fans would have preferred a different solution: Some believe a change is necessary but would have preferred a different form. Antester writes: “It’s true, the weapons are pretty powerful and dominant, and are actually more exotic than legendary, but why not counter weapons that everyone could get or a general adjustment of existing weapons?”
Some have lost motivation: Other Guardians lost all motivation or drive due to the nerf. User Matumba writes: “What’s the point? You take a long road to at least get Luna, and the team can’t find a better way than to nerf.”
The reader Psycheater sums up the attitude of many players well: “A top weapon should dominate. Otherwise, it’s just as effective as any other. Why should you bust your butt to get it when you can play any other HC?”
And for some, the schadenfreude outweighs: Some Guardians take schadenfreude towards players who spent a lot of money on these weapons – like our user Kcee Kay: “… the people who cheated or bought through Comp, I totally wish them the nerf. This bunch doesn’t deserve to run around with the NF.”

With the latest update, Anthem has received a fourth Stronghold. How is the new Stronghold “The Sunken Cell” being received by players?
This is the new Stronghold: With the latest Patch 1.1.0, a new Stronghold has been added to Anthem. “The Sunken Cell” is located in the Northeast of the map, slightly above the ruins of the Sanctum.
“The Sunken Cell” is the fourth Stronghold in Anthem and the first Stronghold added after launch. Players can enter this new dungeon after completing the campaign.
Many players have already extensively examined the new Stronghold.
Spoiler Warning: If you haven’t played the Stronghold yet and don’t want to know anything about the final boss, you might want to stop reading now!
Here you will find the new Stronghold on the map.
What fans love about the new Stronghold: In the Anthem subreddit, many players praise the design of the new Stronghold. The atmosphere is great and overall a wonderful and impressive experience.
Particularly well-received is the final area where you face the boss: Players fly through a water-flooded tunnel upwards. The tunnel reveals a round arena surrounded by a rolling wall of waves. Above, a cloudy sky moves.
The final boss enters the area through this impressive wave wall.

What fans criticize about the Stronghold: Especially the final boss himself is criticized by some players. According to several posts, the enemy simply has too much HP. The boss “The Unfathomed” has 110,432,269 HP on the difficulty GM3, which is why he is already referred to as a “sponge” by some freelancers.
Furthermore, the boss has an ability that knocks players out of the Javelin with one hit – and he uses it very often and gladly.

There is also criticism of the mechanics in “The Sunken Cell”. Players are confronted with many familiar puzzles and have to once again collect echoes or stand in a green circle for an activity.
At one point, there is a color puzzle where players must coordinate entering platforms in a specific order. It is criticized that there is no text chat to quickly communicate with teammates.
Have you played the new Stronghold “The Sunken Cell” yet? How do you feel about the Stronghold?
However, the developers already announce that some experiences will not be identical to what players experienced back in World of Warcraft. They provide some examples for this.
Items in the last valid version: All loot will only be implemented in the latest available version in the game. Items will therefore have the stats they had back in patch 1.12 and will not change over time.
As an example, the developers mentioned the warrior helm from the T2 set, the “Helm of Wrath”. This item has changed multiple times between patch 1.0 and 1.12.
At the beginning, the helm had willpower and agility as attributes.
With patch 1.5, the helm instead gained stamina, strength, and defense as well as elemental resistances.
With patch 1.7, the amount of defense on the helm was reduced.
Patch 1.8 brought a bug fix, allowing the set bonus of the helm to apply to the ability “Whirlwind”.
With patch 1.9, the helm received a new visual design.
This “history” will not repeat for the helm. Once it is available in the game, it will be implemented in its final version – that is, at the state of patch 1.12.
The Unknown will be missing: Blizzard emphasizes that it will be impossible for the developers to recreate the “unknown”. For example, when players enter Blackwing Lair and fight Nefarian, they already know in advance which weapon will drop there. They know the strength of the Obsidian Edged Blade, so this weapon will no longer be a surprise.
The same goes for the progress in many raids. Back then, it took a long time for players to figure out how to trigger the second phase of the boss fight against Nefarian – if players even got to that boss. Today, most Classic fans will know that a certain number of drakonids had to be killed before the next phase begins.
This unknown and mysterious element cannot be recreated because players cannot simply forget that knowledge.
One of the most famous chromatic dragons was Chromaggus in Blackwing Lair. His abilities were based on those of all dragonflights. Furthermore, he was unbeatable at the beginning.
Many First Kills were only due to bugs: A similar “problem” exists with many bosses in World of Warcraft. Numerous first kills were achieved only because players exploited bugs.
Most first kills for Ragnaros (Molten Core) occurred only because a bug caused Ragnaros to cease fire the lava eruption after the raid had wiped.
Chromaggus (Blackwing Descent) was nearly unbeatable because a debuff stacked infinitely on the tanks. Only if you brought Chromaggus to a specific ramp could all players avoid the debuffs.
C’Thun was considered unbeatable for a long time until a hotfix by the developers reduced the number of summoned tentacles.
These and other bugs, which were a constant part of the player experience back then, will not exist in WoW Classic.
Do you think it’s good that WoW: Classic doesn’t reintroduce the same “bugs” that were present at the release of the respective content in the game? Or would such bugs and oddities belong to a “real” Classic experience?
Video games are not only good for entertainment. For example, it appears that the VR game Sea Hero Quest can help detect Alzheimer’s earlier.
What is Sea Hero Quest? In the VR game, you steer a boat through a kind of labyrinth. You must always find the fastest and most effective route to the goal. At the beginning, you are shown a map with checkpoints that you then have to navigate from memory.
Sea Hero Quest is developed by several universities, the studio Glitchers, and Deutsche Telekom.

A game that helps detect Alzheimer’s
How does the game help with Alzheimer’s detection? Individuals carrying the APOE4 gene, which increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, perform much worse in the game than those who do not have the gene.
Those at risk of Alzheimer’s tend to take a significantly less effective route with the boat, according to scientists.
The game thus identifies individuals who may not yet show the common symptoms of Alzheimer’s but apparently belong to the risk group. Those who perform poorly in the game may belong to the risk group.
How do the developers and researchers know it helps? The game was released in 2016 and has been downloaded 4.3 million times by individuals from over 190 countries.
According to scientists, the game is designed such that about 2 minutes of gameplay corresponds to five hours of laboratory examinations. Therefore, the team has now collected data equivalent to 17,600 years of research.
How can you play Sea Hero Quest? You need an Android smartphone or an iPhone as well as a VR headset. You can simply download the game from the respective app store.
What do the researchers hope for? The team behind the game hopes to detect Alzheimer’s earlier. Because when memory problems occur, the disease is often already far advanced.
If Alzheimer’s can be detected in an early stage, other therapies are possible which may help mitigate the worst symptoms in later stages.
What do users think? Overall, the idea is received positively, as games are seen in a different light. It’s not always just about “fighting”; you can also do good with players.
rydamusprime17 mentions on Reddit: “I love hearing about the healing possibilities that video games offer. People always only see the negative…”
The interesting space MMO Dual Universe is getting closer to release. Now the developers want to polish the graphics so that the online game can visually compete with current titles.
How is the graphics of the game improving? Dual Universe looks decent in the current alpha, but the developers want to improve its visual quality. More effects are intended to enhance the atmosphere and appeal to graphic enthusiasts.
Planet textures: The textures of the planets are being improved. The level of detail is expected to be 16 times higher than before.
Depth of field and motion blur: These two effects will support the artistic style. They are features commonly found in many modern games and enhance their visual quality.
Volumetric clouds: When you fly into the orbit of a planet and then land on it, you will rush through clouds that actually look like clouds and give a “fluffy” impression. Additionally, clouds can visually distinguish themselves from each other and change their positions.
Better graphics with minimal performance loss
What about performance? The developers place great emphasis on minimizing performance loss when implementing these effects.
However, it is possible to disable the effects in the options if players do not want them or if performance suffers as a result.
Which software is the team using? The developer studio Novaquark will use the Yebis software from Silicon Studio to introduce the effects of motion blur, depth of field, bloom, and color adjustments.
This way, the actual team can continue to focus on the game’s development without wasting resources on effects that can simply be purchased.
Fans are excited and want to see something
When will the graphic improvements be implemented? The Alpha Update 0.15 will bring the new effects to the game. A precise release date for the update has not yet been announced.
What do the fans think? The players are looking forward to the innovations, although some find it unfortunate that Novaquark has not released new gameplay material. On paper, the improvements sound good, but how do they look in action?
