The most important changes from the new update of Anthem – Patch Notes

Tarek Zehrer 23. April 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

With patch 1.1.0, Anthem has now received another update. Here are the most important changes summarized from the patch notes.

This is the new update: Patch 1.1.0 brings several new features and bug fixes. One of the biggest innovations is the new Stronghold “The Sunken Cell”.

When is the update available? The patch is already available for download. Today, on April 23rd, a multi-hour server maintenance took place during which the update was released. The servers are now back online.

How big is the update? The update is around 4 GB on all platforms.

These are the most important changes in summary.

The Sunken Cell – the new Stronghold

What are Strongholds? Strongholds, or fortresses, are larger missions in Anthem. The Sunken Cell is the 4th available and the first Stronghold added afterwards.

When can you play the new Stronghold? The mission is available as soon as you have completed the main story.

Forges and missions can now be activated everywhere

What is changing now: The forge is the menu where players customize their Javelin suits.

Previously, players always had to return to the HUB, Fort Tarsis, to modify their equipment.

With patch 1.1.0, the forge can now be used at any time.

The same applies to mission selection. Previously, you had to finish each mission and return to Fort Tarsis to choose another. This was quite annoying due to loading times.

From now on, you can jump from mission to mission without having to return.

Which areas does this affect? You can now use the forge in all activities:

missions
Strongholds
Freeplay

By the way: Contracts can now be accessed anywhere. You no longer have to run to each NPC to accept corresponding quests.

New universal components

With the new update, there are also 3 new universal components with different properties.

These are the new universal components:

Extended Sniper Magazine: Adds space for special sniper ammo. Increases base damage by +30%, significantly increases magazine capacity.
Rapid Hollow Points: Adds space for special semi-automatic pistol and autocannon ammo. Increases base damage by +30%. Also increases damage on weak points of the semi-automatic pistol and autocannon.
Extended Special Arms Magazine: Adds space for special pistol and grenade launcher ammo. Increases base damage by +30%. Significantly increases magazine capacity for both weapon types.

So these are components with which specific weapon types can be targeted for improvement.

Anthem will likely have to postpone some features promised for April

Balance changes

Patch 1.1.0 brings several balance changes that affect both weapons and gear. These mainly involve improved bonuses.

These are some examples:

Wyvern Blitz (sniper rifle): Bonus increased from +40% to 185%
Endless War (semi-automatic pistol): Bonus increased from +110% to 145%
Death from Above (precision rifle): Bonus increased from +65% to +235%
Serpent’s Veil (Interceptor ability): Bonus increased from +100% to +202.5%.
Cold-Blooded (Ranger ability): Bonus increased from +235% to +270%.

Many other items and weapons are also affected by these buffs.

There are numerous bug fixes

In addition to the new features and balance changes, there are also some bugs that have been fixed according to the patch notes.

Here is a selection of the biggest fixes:

A problem was fixed where a Titan’s fireball projectile could hit despite dodging.
Status elements should now properly expire and not be active longer than the in-game timer indicates.
A bug was removed where the Storm’s shield in some cases did not receive a resistance bonus when the player was hovering.
Explosive ammo should now again cause destructible objects to explode as intended.
The Devastator rifle should now refill normally when you pick up ammo.
Some text labels have been adjusted.

Issues with NPCs in Fort Tarsis have been fixed, including animation bugs and many other minor issues.
Target monsters continue to be displayed as a target even when you move farther away.
A bug in a world event was fixed where Sentinels disappeared from the battlefield even though they were part of the event.
Collectibles no longer have to be picked up by each individual player. If you are within 100 meters, you will automatically receive picked-up collectibles.

This is just a small excerpt of the numerous changes that are in the patch. You can find the full list of the patch notes on the official page.

Pokémon GO: Players show how to defeat the strongest raid with a tank

Noah Struthoff 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, only Giratina dominates the legendary raids in Pokémon GO. However, players demonstrate that this raid boss can be easily defeated with Snorlax.

How do players defeat Giratina? To defeat Giratina, 3 players fighting with Snorlax are sufficient. Snorlax is a classic defender and not particularly useful as an attacker.

However, he seems strong enough to defeat the currently strongest raid boss.

Watch here how Snorlax easily defeats a Giratina

This is the video: In the video, trainers Jaker0315, MrDrProfZoidbrg, and KingOfNoPants attack a Giratina together. The trainers are not even all at maximum level.

How does it work? It is quite remarkable that 3 players with Snorlax are enough to defeat Giratina. All Snorlax know the move Body Slam. This move was recently able to be learned by the Pokémon.

This move hits Giratina very effectively, allowing Snorlax to score points.

Can I do it too? This challenge is quite easy to complete. You don’t even need to level up your Snorlax significantly. It is sufficient if they have around 2700 CP and above.

However, the move Body Slam is important. If your Snorlax knows this move, then you should be able to take down Giratina easily with three of you.

This is what the challenge is about: Trainers repeatedly try to set up special challenges. The goal is to defeat a legendary Pokémon with very few players or with unusual Pokémon.

We have already reported multiple times about these challenges:

A group of players defeated a Kyogre using only their Pikachu.
Players have soloed 4-star raids such as Absol, Rhydon, or Ninjask.
Cresselia was defeated by just two players.
Dialga was beaten in duo.
Rayquaza could even be defeated by two players at level 25.

New update for Fallout 76 introduces cameras as weapons – the patch notes

Benedict Grothaus 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Fallout 76 has entered maintenance mode on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A new patch is set to be deployed, bringing new content to the game. Find out here what changes.

What kind of patch is this? Today, on April 23, 2019, Fallout 76 went into maintenance mode around 4 PM. A new patch is being deployed, which will bring new items to the game.

How long will the maintenance last? An end time has not yet been announced. However, the maintenance work has previously lasted roughly three hours, depending on the size of the new content.

Update at 6:40 PM – Fallout 76 is back online. You can log in and play now.

Fallout 76 roadmap new content revised with new data — The current roadmap

How big is the patch? The new patch 8.5 will have different sizes on PC and consoles:

The size for PC is under 1GB
The size for PS4 and Xbox One is roughly 2GB

Fallout 76 – Patch Notes for Patch 8.5 from April 23 in English

New Feature – ProSnap Deluxe Camera: With the new patch 8.5, Bethesda implements a new camera intended to enhance the photo mode of Fallout 76, which was already announced in the roadmap. The camera is designed to function via snapshots, which can also be taken during combat without having to switch to photo mode.

The camera itself can be equipped and modified like a weapon. By “aiming,” a subject can be selected and by “shooting,” a photo can be taken. The camera uses films as “ammunition,” which you can create at crafting stations.

To obtain the camera, you must retrieve a broken camera from dead tourists in Appalachia. You will then receive the quest “Bucket List” and can subsequently complete challenges related to the camera.

Fallout 76 ProSnap Deluxe camera as an item

New Shop Item – Repair Kit: Another change is the new Repair Kits in Fallout 76. These Repair Kits are intended to repair equipment instantly without using materials. They come in two versions:

Basic Repair Kit: Repairs an equipment item to 100% durability. Available for purchase for 50 atoms (1 piece) or 250 atoms (6 pieces) in the Atom Shop.
Advanced Repair Kit: Repairs an equipment item to 150% durability. Not available for purchase, can only be found as a rare drop.

The Repair Kits have caused a stir beforehand, as some fans considered the items to be pay-to-win content. Bethesda promised that the Atom Shop would only contain items that wouldn’t provide competitive advantages.

Therefore, Bethesda is now stating in the official patch notes that fan criticism has been heard. Currently, they see the kits as “a pleasant option.” Should the Repair Kits prove to be advantageous, Bethesda will adjust them to remove those advantages.

In addition to the highlights, there are some balance adjustments and bug fixes. You can find the complete patch notes on the official website of Fallout 76.

What do you think of the changes?

The announced player shops will come later. But some fans have already been creative:

How is Heroes of the Storm doing, after so many developers are missing

Cortyn 23. April 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

For a few months now, Heroes of the Storm has had only a few developers left. But does this harm the game?

In the past six months, there have been several changes at Blizzard. The game studio has let go of many employees and reallocated some resources from projects to push forward other games and release more new titles. One of the “sacrifices” was the MOBA Heroes of the Storm. Many developers have left the team and focused on other tasks.

But how is Heroes of the Storm actually doing, nearly 4 months after the team was drastically reduced?

Regular Updates and Balancing: Those who feared that Heroes of the Storm would no longer be supported were proven wrong in recent months. There have been new patches repeatedly, mainly aimed at addressing balancing issues.

But there were also more extensive reworks. For instance, Chromie was slightly reworked or many talents of Zagara were adjusted. The playstyle of some heroes has changed as a result. The fact that the developers are taking time for such adjustments is seen as a good sign that the game’s development is still ongoing.

New in-game events are still happening. Currently, the “Akropolis Caldeum” is live:

Link to the YouTube content

Real money loot boxes are gone: Quite surprisingly, Heroes of the Storm changed the purchase of loot boxes about a month ago. These can no longer be purchased with the premium currency “Diamonds”, but can only be obtained through gold or quests.

No explanation was given for this, but it was speculated that Blizzard wants to avoid the accusation of gambling. This seems strange, as in other games (Overwatch) such boxes can still be purchased. The player community was divided over this announcement.

Some were pleased with this and regarded this decision as a positive step. The less real-money gambling in a game, the better.

Others feared that Heroes of the Storm is now on the verge of being discontinued. In other games, the gradual removal of purchase options is seen as a clear sign that publishers or developers are letting the game go.

Everyone can buy what they need: There was also a major overhaul of skins. Almost all cosmetic items can now be specifically and individually purchased with jewels or crafted through shards. So, the gambling factor is also gone here.

Those who want can now specifically purchase the skin they actually want. This change was received positively by the community and seen as a clear step in the right direction.

Fewer new heroes: The impact of the team restructuring is most clearly noticeable in the frequency at which new heroes are released. Where previously a new hero appeared every few weeks, there are now several months between releases. This is particularly evident with Anduin Wrynn. Anduin was leaked back in February and has only now arrived in April on the PTR.

Additionally, it is assumed that Anduin was already in development by the end of 2018, before the team was downsized. These are likely the last major contents that had been “pre-produced”.

The big test for Heroes of the Storm will be whether the game can still offer new content and release interesting characters afterwards – and, above all, whether this will satisfy the players.

Short waiting times, enough players: The waiting times in Heroes of the Storm remain short, at least in the entire “fun” modes, like quick play or Brawl. In ranked modes, longer waiting times of several minutes can occur, as matching opponents need to be found.

This is not really dramatic yet. Those who want to play generally find a match within a few seconds or minutes.

Conclusion: Heroes of the Storm lives, but the future remains uncertain

In summary, it can be said that Heroes of the Storm is still playable and is generally in an acceptable state. However, some fears of the fans seem to be confirmed.

When more than two months pass between the first leak and the release of a hero, it is a clear sign of how the development has slowed down.

The concern that HotS is just “bleeding out” and then will die cannot be completely dismissed. However, there are still fresh content as well as graphical and gameplay updates. Although less frequent, with HotS now having a solid roster of heroes, this should not weigh heavily on long-time fans.

Only those who want a new hero every 3-4 weeks will likely have to give up on that thought.

What do you think of Heroes of the Storm? Are you still playing Blizzard’s MOBA? Or did you give up when the news of the developer reduction came?

Fortnite: Ninja refrains from outbursts on Twitch to improve the image of gamers

Noah Struthoff 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Fortnite streamer Ninja was originally known for his vulgar streams on Twitch. However, since reaching the peak of his success, he has become nicer and more family-friendly. He says he does this for the overall reputation of gaming.

This is what the streamer says about his outbursts: Many of his viewers wish the old Ninja back, who didn’t hold back and would sometimes erupt in foul-mouthed tirades when an opponent dared to defeat him.

Ninja has now responded to these remarks, explaining that the new Ninja is better for the gaming image in the mainstream.

He explains that no vulgar streamer could survive in the mainstream and that they would tarnish the reputation of gaming. So, Ninja is intentionally being nicer because it benefits gaming and its image in the mainstream.

This is how Ninja wants to improve the reputation of gaming

These statements were made by Ninja: In a stream, Ninja addressed the topic and said: “The things I have done, and the things I no longer say, and that the majority of my streams are now family-friendly, I do all of this for the gaming community and esports.

Do you think that anything I said when I was 21 and vulgar would make it into the news and on television in the mainstream? No, it wouldn’t. They would never show it.”

What does Ninja mean by this? With this statement, Ninja presents himself as a fighter for the good reputation of gaming. If he continued to stream so vulgarly with his reach, the media would only report negatively about him.

He would serve as an example of how immature and aggressive the gamer community is, further damaging the image of gaming.

So according to Ninja, he is family-friendly so that the general public has a positive image of gaming.

This is what Ninja says about other streamers: Ninja also addresses other streamers and says:

“Put any other streamer who talks and swears like he does into the mainstream media. Don’t you think the media would put him down and drag gaming through the dirt?”

Ninja sees the danger here in the major news networks in the USA and social media.

Can we agree with Ninja’s opinion? The fact is that Ninja is also a popular face outside the gaming community. For example, he was booked for a Super Bowl commercial and appeared on New Year’s Eve in Times Square.

For this, it is probably important to be “brand-safe,” meaning to be someone who is presentable. If he were a swearing troublemaker, he likely wouldn’t have received the lucrative deal with Red Bull. It’s important for him to be presentable.

Therefore, there is certainly something to what Ninja says. Although he himself benefits massively from this “mainstream success” personally, and surely not only “for gaming’s sake,” but also for the sake of money.

What is it like in Germany? Germany’s biggest streamer, MontanaBlack, is known for his direct but also honest choice of words. Recently the streamer wrote a book that promptly became a bestseller. MontanaBlack flirts with his gangster image but makes sure to not go as far as other German streamers.

So ApoRed, according to his own statements, was accused by Epic of not being “brand-safe”: This led to disadvantages in his collaboration with Epic.

Another streamer who is also known for being vulgar recently commented on Fortnite:

ESO has finally fixed the queues, some fans are still annoyed

Jürgen Horn 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online had too many players and weak servers recently. This led to queues. The developers have now solved the problem and some players are happy. Others, however, still criticize the performance of the servers.

This was the queue problem: Since ESO is currently in the Season of the Dragon and became unexpectedly successful thanks to numerous promotional campaigns, the megaservers in Europe were pushed to their breaking point.

As a result, five years after the release, queues had to be added again for the first time to control the influx of players. Sometimes players waited up to 40 minutes and could even prepare a full meal in the meantime.

Eso_Elsweyr_Trailer4 — No one was happy about the queues.

Zenimax is done faster than expected

What the developers have done: ESO head Matt Firor announced as early as mid-April that they would expand the server capacities. By the end of the month, it should be ready.

But apparently Zenimax was lucky and finished faster than expected. Therefore, the new hardware was likely ready just in time for the Easter weekend, and server performance could be steadily improved over the holidays.

As a result, the wait times disappeared over the weekend, and players could log in again without delays. In an act of problem prevention, the servers in the USA will soon also be expanded, and the consoles will also be monitored.

Players are happy, but not all

How are the players reacting? Many players reacted with great joy to the news of the problem resolution on April 17. They praised the quick response and the fact that they could finally play ESO again without endless wait times.

“Great, I’ll renew my 6-month subscription!”
“Praise be to Zenimax!”
“Great news! I think you’ve shocked the doomsayers!”

Why not all players are happy: However, the “doomsayers” were by no means silent for long. Because as great as playing ESO without wait times is, many players were upset that it had come to this in the first place.

Players claim the servers of ESO have always been very slow and inefficient. They do not understand why it took so long for everything to be too late, effectively shutting out paying customers. Furthermore, they state that performance is still poor and has not improved:

“When are you finally going to fix the console servers? They have been terrible for years!”
“The update did nothing, server performance is still very weak!”
“What hardware do you have in those servers? The server is still a piece of trash… be honest with your paying customers and don’t lie to us!!!”

However, the majority of fans seem to be happy that ESO is running again without queues. But these fans surely wouldn’t mind better server performance.

Anthem will likely have to postpone some features promised for April

Schuhmann 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Tonight, there will be a livestream for the online shooter Anthem . BioWare intends to present its new roadmap for the upcoming days: it seems clear that many of the planned contents and features will not arrive at the promised time.

This is the roadmap: BioWare had presented a massive roadmap for the “next 90 days” at the end of February after the first negative reviews .

In March, April, and May 2019, a lot of content and new features were supposed to be released. These were intended to significantly improve and expand Anthem.

However, BioWare quickly fell behind this roadmap. After many problems arose, Anthem focused mainly on tackling these issues during that time.

The presentation of new content has been put on hold after the major Kotaku report.

They also missed a livestream date due to technical issues.

This is still missing: A user has created a list on reddit outlining which points still need to come in April for Anthem to keep its promises. This includes:

the new Mastery system
the Freeplay event “Shaper Surge”
new items as rewards
the Stronghold “The Sunken Cell”
Leaderboards
Guilds
the 2nd phase of the Legendary Missions
weekly Stronghold challenges

What is the problem? At the moment, a patch is being deployed, but hardly anyone can imagine that all the promised features, which were supposed to come in April, are actually included in the patch.

It is also doubtful that the announced features for May will be met: including the Cataclysm, which fans were very excited about.

One thing is certain: the new Stronghold really comes today – what else is in the patch is not yet known.

Fortnite is soon launching a big event for Avengers: Endgame – Epic shows Thor’s axe

Patrick Freese 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale a major event related to the Avengers: Endgame movie is planned. Players are now speculating about the details. A teaser image has been released by Epic.

What’s new? Fortnite has now released a teaser image for an upcoming event starting alongside Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame.” The new superhero movie is set to release in theaters this week.

The event is expected to start on Thursday, April 25. The release of Endgame in Germany is on April 24.

This is what you see on the teaser: The image tweeted by Fortnite shows the Color Bomber from Fortnite with a “Captain America” shield:

Fortnite has not provided any further details about the event, just the date, April 25.

This is what the event could look like: This announcement regarding Avengers has sparked a lot of conversation in the Fortnite community. Last year, there was an event related to Avengers: Infinity War, which made the villain Thanos playable in the game with a special mode.

On Reddit a player writes: My guesses are a Thanos game mode and Avengers challenges.
As rewards for that, a player wishes for Thor’s axe as a pickaxe, Captain America’s shield as back bling, and Groot as a pet.

It is assumed that a special game mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale will be unlocked. Many believe that Thanos will return. He was so impressively featured last year that fans are now wishing for his return. There are already hints about Thanos found in the Fortnite code.

“At least one new item is confirmed, the Captain America shield. Hopefully, Thanos will return and bring new items as well,” a user writes on Reddit.

Many players hope for cosmetic items that can either be unlocked or purchased. Thor’s axe, “Stormbreaker,” is often wished for by fans as a harvesting tool.

Update 4:00 PM: Fortnite has just uploaded another teaser for the Endgame event. It now shows Thor’s axe, which is presumably being held up by the Fish Skin. Whether this will come into the game as a harvesting tool remains unclear. There are no new details about the event yet.

This is how the teaser is received by players: The announcement has created a lot of hype in the community. The teaser on Twitter received 160,000 likes after just 19 hours. Here, two massive franchises, Avengers and Fortnite, collide.

Even the shooter pro and streamer “Shroud” writes that he will probably reinstall Fortnite now.

Apex Legends announces a buff for Mirage after all, but 2 other legends get nerfs

Benedict Grothaus 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

After the latest patch of Apex Legends did not provide a buff for the legend Mirage, there was unrest in the community. The developers believed his win rate was good enough. However, buffs have now been announced.

What buffs are coming? In a post on reddit, the developer Leeeeeee-RSPN wrote that the legend Mirage might need “a little nudge upwards.” He hasn’t specified concrete changes yet, but it’s conceivable that some adjustments will be made:

to the “visibility of invisibility”
to the duration of invisibility
to the lifespan of decoys
to the cooldown of abilities, etc.

This caters to the hopes of some players who expected more from the last patch of Apex Legends. However, Mirage will not receive a major “rework” that fundamentally changes him.

Why is a buff being introduced after all? According to Leeeeeee-RSPN, there was a misunderstanding. In another post earlier in the same thread, he said that no changes were planned in the near future. However, he was unclear in his expression:

I agree with much of what has been said here. When I said, “no planned changes,” I was (unclear) referring to larger reworks like a new ultimate or something like that. The kind of change that directly conflicts with our ability to create new characters.
We believe that this is a better focus for the moment, as he [Mirage] is in a good position.
Leeeeeee-RSPN on reddit.

The fans gratefully accepted this and continued to discuss possible changes to Mirage that could make him a bit more useful.

Who is getting a nerf? Leeeeeee-RSPN also mentioned that two legends will be nerfed. Specifically, he named Lifeline and Wraith. Especially Wraith is currently the most popular legend in Apex Legends and has the highest win rate.

However, Lee has not described exactly what will be nerfed for both. It is supposed to be “gentle” nerfs.

When are the changes coming? A specific date has not yet been mentioned. The post merely states that it will happen “in the near term.”

What buffs and nerfs would you suggest?

Pokémon GO: Players are looking for Lapras quest, but it is damn rare

Noah Struthoff 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Shiny Lapras is now findable in Pokémon GO, but the search for the rare Shiny is proving very difficult. The quest for Lapras seems to have become rare.

Why are people searching for the Lapras quest? Since the Safari Zone in Singapore, Shiny Lapras can be found everywhere. However, in the wild, the Pokémon is very rare, so the focus is mainly on the quest that rewards you with a Lapras.

This quest has now been noticeably reduced. Many players report on Reddit that this field research is hardly found anymore.

This is the problem players face with Shiny Lapras

This is the quest in question: The field research “Win 5 Gym Battles” rewards you with a Lapras. This quest is currently being sought everywhere.

This is what players are reporting: On Reddit , a player from Cologne has spoken up. He reports that numerous trainers in his city are literally hunting for the Lapras quest, yet only 2 of these field research tasks have been found.

When you relate that to the size of Cologne and the density of PokéStops there, it is clear that this quest has definitely been reduced.

Another player reports from New York, where a map scans and reports every quest. There, it was said that on one day, there were only 4 Lapras quests, despite the fact that there are probably thousands of stops in New York.

This problem is not an isolated case: It has become noticeable that Niantic reduces the spawns of new Shinies. For instance, there are now significantly fewer Pidgey or Krabby since they can be found as Shiny. Before that, they were among the most common spawns here in Germany.

Now, for the first time, a quest has been reduced. It is therefore significantly harder than it already was to obtain a shiny Lapras.

What does it mean for the players? If you come across such a quest, you should share it with your community. It is currently extremely popular. Generally, it is important that you exchange information with your community, as this is the best way to find the rare quest.

Will Shiny Lapras become more common again? Lapras has been part of events before. So it is conceivable that the Pokémon can be obtained again in greater numbers through special events.

Additionally, Lapras was recently featured in the Safari Zone in Singapore. So it is certainly possible that we German players will have a chance to get Lapras at the GO Fest in Dortmund. But this is only speculation.

There is hope: The Lapras quest may become more frequent soon. On April 23rd at 10 PM, the Easter event ends, and with it, the special quests will also disappear.

So there may soon be more room for the Lapras quest.

While Shiny Lapras is likely very hard to obtain, you can get Scyther with an increased chance as Shiny:

It looks like the dragons will finally become important in WoW again

Cortyn 23. April 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

The dragons will again play an important role in World of Warcraft . An upcoming quest line will bring them into focus.

Dragons have played a major role in World of Warcraft in the past. However, after Cataclysm, they were stripped of much of their power. During Legion, even the green dragon aspect Ysera died. In Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, some dragons, however, are taking on a larger role again. We reveal what is happening with the once mighty creatures.

Spoiler alert: If you don’t want to know anything about the story of Patch 8.2 and the events surrounding the dragons, you should not continue reading. You have been warned.

With Patch 8.2, Magni calls the players to him to advance the healing of Azeroth. This also unlocks the new Essence system , which grants the Heart of Azeroth new, cool abilities. To use these abilities, Magni sends the players on a longer journey around the world. They must resolve various “disturbances” so that Azeroth can finally heal.

A Black Dragon for Azeroth

Ebenhorn helps Azeroth: The first encounter with a dragon takes place on the High Mountain. There, players meet the Tauren spiritwalker Ebenhorn. Those who remember the story from Legion will know that Ebenhorn is a black dragon in disguise. He helps us with the quest line to collect the first essence and then joins the Champions of Azeroth to support the healing of the planet.

Observation of a Black Talon Watcher: Those who pay close attention during the quest line can spot a Black Talon Watcher lurking in the area. These are the secret agents of Wrathion, the Black Prince.

For a long time, it was thought that he was the last black dragon, as he had killed all the others. Now that a Black Talon Watcher has appeared near Ebenhorn, it reveals that Wrathion knows very well that Ebenhorn exists. This will surely have consequences in the future.

After that, there are several more quest steps, where we are sent to Hyjal and then to the Maelstrom. There, some large Azerite Elementals are defeated, and various essences are collected that unlock new abilities in the Heart.

The Green Dragons in the Emerald Dream

Things get exciting again once the Heart of Azeroth reaches level 54. Then, in the Heart chamber, the blue dragon Kalecgos appears and asks us to travel to Val’sharah to speak with a certain Merithra.

The daughter of Ysera: Merithra carries the title < Daughter of Ysera > and thus seems to want to follow in her mother’s footsteps, who was once the guardian of the Emerald Dream. In this dream, there are numerous problems, as it is currently being overrun by Void creatures. Players assist Merithra in cleansing the dream.

A hidden detail: Those who pay close attention can discover an important detail in the Emerald Dream. Inside a hollow tree, shadowy roots can be seen. These roots are exactly where players in the raid “Emerald Nightmare” could find a “Remnant of the Void”.

Back then, shadow priests could interact with this and receive a small voice line from their blade Xal’atath. The Remnant of the Void can now be looted, but it serves no purpose in the inventory – at least none that would be immediately obvious. Another riddle of World of Warcraft seems to be brewing here.

The spirit of Ysera is missing: Merithra also explains during the quest line that the spirit of Ysera cannot be found anywhere in the Emerald Dream. No one knows where the essence of the green dragon is located. While in the raid “Emerald Nightmare,” Ysera’s spirit could be seen – she came from exactly the tree where the Remnant of the Void can now be found.

After that, we return to Magni with a new essence and Merithra in tow.

Attack of the Twilight Dragons

The next step of the quest is only available when the Heart of Azeroth reaches level 58. Kalecgos tasks the player with traveling to the Shadowlands. There is a meeting with the red dragons – the Life Binder Alexstrasza is also present.

Alexstrasza must be rescued: When we arrive, the Crimson Refuge, a large encampment of the red dragons, is under siege. The Twilight Dragons are back, and Vexiona, one of their leaders, wants to corrupt all the red dragons and lead them to the Twilight.

Vexiona appears to be under a dark influence (probably from the Void or N’Zoth), as she reveals some of her plans:

“Behold the future of all dragonflights. United. You will see the truth that I have seen, sister.”
“Your pitiful dragonflights will fall. If you will not serve the master, I will find someone who will!”

Thanks to the help of the player and Kalecgos, it is possible to repel the attack and save the red dragons. Afterwards, Alexstrasza also comes to the Heart chamber.

Where do the Twilight Dragons come from? Why the Twilight Dragons are still alive and regaining strength is still somewhat unclear. After all, we killed the brood mothers in Cataclysm and largely eradicated the swarm. However, the quest line suggests that there is a huge clutch of Twilight eggs buried under Grim Batol, dug up by the troggs. Twilight dragons also appeared during island expeditions, which sparked speculation among players.

The Bronze Dragonflight is late again

At level 70 of the Heart of Azeroth, the final quest step is supposed to take place. Here, all representatives of the major dragonflights meet in the Heart chamber and lend their power to the Heart of Azeroth. This is supposed to happen through a “great in-game cinematic” that has not yet been implemented.

After the ritual, Chromie appears, a dragon of the Bronze Dragonflight. She likes to switch between timelines and is often active in both the past and future. As a small joke, she proudly states that she is “on time for something for the first time”.

How the dragonflights will continue is still unclear. However, it seems obvious that the Twilight Dragons are once again being built up as a threat and that the other dragonflights are to take on a stronger role in the conflict. So far, they have had surprisingly little to do in Battle for Azeroth.

Are you looking forward to a reunion with Alexstrasza, Chromie, and co? Or should Blizzard have left the dragons alone after Cataclysm and Legion?

After tests, Diablo 3 still changes patch 2.6.5 – Necro wins

Patrick Freese 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Players have already tested the new patch 2.6.5 in Diablo 3 for Season 17. Now there is an update with changes. A Necromancer build is significantly buffed with this.

What’s new? Blizzard has now released revised patch notes for the new update 2.6.5. The original update was already tested by players on the test servers (PTR) in the past weeks.

More on the topic

Diablo 3 extends Season 16 by 2 months – Here’s what it’s all about

von Patrick Freese

The patch notes reveal several bug fixes for issues that players complained about in the forums. Additionally, the Inarius set has received a significant buff. Players say it will now be an extremely strong set for the Necromancer.

Why the patch is so important for the Necromancer: Among the new changes in patch 2.6.5 for Diablo 3 is an adjustment to the 6-piece set bonus of the Inarius’ Grace set for the Necromancer.

Bone Armor additionally creates a whirlwind of bones that deals 1,000% weapon damage to nearby enemies and increases the damage they take from the Necromancer by 10,000% (previously 3,750%).

This increase to 10,000% is celebrated by players. They have long thought that the bonus needed to be increased to make the set valuable again.

What fans are saying: On Reddit , user raptir writes:

Holy grace of the Inarius set. It makes it by far the strongest Necromancer set now.

The comments on YouTube show that fans have been waiting for the patch for a long time:

Can we all clap for the Inarius buffs? Finally?!
OMG! Inarius buff! I’m so happy, the season will be great.
Finally a bit of love for Inarius! It was long overdue.

Players are also mentioning that the Inarius set will be distributed in Haedrig’s Gift during Season 17. This means you can start quickly. Necromancer fans hope that these changes will remain in the patch and be implemented in Season 17 of Diablo.

What else is changing with patch 2.6.5 in Season 17?

Diablo 3 announced huge changes for Season 17. These include higher torment levels and additional slots for the loot vault. The new update from April 22 brings further changes.

How the new torment levels were improved:

Torment 14, 15, and 16 have been adjusted in terms of health points and damage from enemies to more closely match levels 65, 70, and 75 of the Greater Nephalem Rifts.

The rewards in Torment 14, 15, and 16 have been increased for infernal machines, organs, and greater rift keys.

Adjustments to items:

Akkhan’s Leniency has been nerfed again after the last PTR buffs. “Every enemy hit by Blessed Shield increases the skill damage by 30% to 35% for 3 seconds. Previously, the values were 75% to 100% (currently 15% to 20% on the live servers).

Chantodo’s Will: The damage of Wave of Destruction now scales with attack power. Earlier it was tested on the PTR that the ticks scale with attack power.

The Sin Seekers now also grant a damage buff of 250% to 300% to the Rapid Fire ability.

Wojahnni Storm increases the damage of Rapid Fire by 75% to 100% every half second while channeling (previously 60% to 75%). This stacks up to 30 times.

The complete patch notes and bug fixes for patch 2.6.5 can be found on the Diablo 3 website.

What do you think of the changes? Will you bring out the Necromancer again for Season 17?

Destiny 2: How to farm all new weapons from Gambit Prime and Reckoning

Sven Galitzki 23. April 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2, you now have a better chance to get the new weapons of Season 6 in Gambit Prime and the Reckoning mode. We explain how and where you can effectively farm all these new guns.

The Season of the Wanderer has expanded the Guardians’ arsenal with 10 new weapons that can be obtained from the new modes of Reckoning and Gambit Prime. However, for a long time, it was not clear how to get some of these new guns. Additionally, the Update 2.2.1 brought some changes to the loot distribution in the two new modes. We summarize everything important for you.

These are the 10 weapons: All new weapons from Gambit Prime – They have cool perks

Effectively farm 10 new Gambit Prime weapons – here’s how

You should hunt for these weapons here: With Update 2.2.1, Destiny 2 has increased the loot drop rate in the new activities Gambit Prime and Reckoning.

Most of these weapons have been added to the Gambit Prime loot pool and can drop after matches in this mode. With a bit of luck, you can now essentially just get most of them while playing Gambit Prime. However, Guardians have the best chances for these weapons in Reckoning.

Farming in Reckoning – What you should pay attention to

Why in the Reckoning mode? After Update 2.2.1, every boss kill at level 2 or 3 in Reckoning can drop one of these weapons for you. Additionally, the drop chance now increases in Reckoning after each run without receiving one of these weapons – and with every further “unsuccessful” farming attempt until you finally get one of these guns.

Where to get which weapons? In Reckoning, the 10 weapons are divided into two different loot pools, which are determined by the specific boss of the encounter and rotate weekly accordingly. So each week you can earn only certain weapons.

If the boss is the manifestation of Oryx, you can get the following weapons from this final boss:

Hand Cannon “Notration”
Auto Rifle “Magenknurren” (Only at level 3)
Pulse Rifle “Überdauern”
Grenade Launcher “Weltuntergang” (Only at level 3)
Submachine Gun “Survival-Kit”

If it’s a sword boss, you have the chance to get the following guns:

Shotgun “Nur noch einer steht”
Sniper “Einziger Überlebender”
Pistol “Einsam”
Scout Rifle “Nachtwache”
Sword “Für den Fall der Fälle” (Only at level 3)

Most players recommend farming for the weapons at level 2 of Reckoning, as it is noticeably easier – unless you absolutely need the weapons that are only available at level 3.

von Timo Kantner

Farming in Gambit Prime – What you should know

That’s why it’s worth checking out Gambit Prime: Even if you can generally hunt the new weapons most effectively in Reckoning, you might also consider visiting the Gambit Prime mode. Because there, you can specifically aim for four of the 10 new weapons and obtain them with a bit of luck.

These are the weapons in question: Specifically, you can earn there

the Submachine Gun Survival-Kit
the Sniper Rifle Einziger Überlebender
Hand Cannon Notration
and the Shotgun Nur noch einer steht

. These four weapons come as curated versions – so with fixed, predefined perk sets and already as a masterwork of level 10 with a certain stat.

What do you have to do? Previously, clever fans had found some ways to obtain these weapons. Now, all possibilities have been uncovered on how to receive the four curated versions.

The four weapons are essentially tied to different types of medals, which means certain achievements within a match. If you meet the requirements and earn one of these 12 medals, you will receive a so-called Synth – the type of Synth and the possible weapon depend on the role you assume.

Each of the different Synth types is tied to one of the four roles of Gambit Prime and therefore requires certain actions. When you receive a Synth, you have the chance at the end of the match for one of these weapons with Curated Rolls.

Note: In each match, you can only receive one of these Synths. So, you should play specifically as required for the medal of the respective Synth and for your desired weapon.

More on the topic

Destiny 2: Gambit Prime – With these tips you will rock the new mode

von Tom Rothstein

This is what you have to do for the four weapons:

The Submachine Gun “Survival-Kit”: This weapon is tied to the role and medals of the Reaper. Earn these medals and you will be rewarded with a Reaper Synth:

Massacre: Quickly defeat 12 enemies with no more than 3 seconds between each kill
Thrillmonger: Defeat 40 enemies in one round without dying
Value Hunter: Defeat a high-ranking target. It’s enough to just shoot at this enemy if someone from your team finishes them off

If you receive the Reaper Synth, the curated SMG can drop at the end of the round.

The Hand Cannon “Notration”: This Hand Cannon is tied to the role and medals of the Collector. Earn these medals and you will be rewarded with a Collector Synth:

Fast Fill: Collect 15 particles quickly
Go Big or Go Home: Summon a huge blocker (20 particles)
Half-Banked: Load the bank at least halfway in a single round

If you earn the Collector Synth, the curated Hand Cannon can drop at the end of the round.

The Shotgun “Nur noch einer steht”: This pump shotgun is tied to the Guardian role and medals. Earn one of the following medals and you will be rewarded with a Guardian Synth:

Blockbuster: Take out three blockers with no more than three seconds between each kill
Locksmith: Defeat the last blocker at your team’s bank three times in one round
Not on My Watch: Take out an invader within 10 seconds after they appear – before they can eliminate a member of your team

If you receive the Collector Synth, you have a chance at the end of the round to get the curated version of the shotgun.

Sniper Rifle “Einziger Überlebender”: For the sniper, you need to take on the role of the invader and earn the corresponding medals. If you earn one of the following medals, you will be rewarded with a Guardian Synth:

Army of One: Eliminate all four opposing players as an invader during a single invasion
Bank Heist: Withdraw several particles from the opposite bank during a single invasion while being nearby
Denied!: Prevent enemies as an invader from withdrawing at least 10 particles by defeating opponents who are currently carrying particles

These 3 major issues Fortnite wants to solve this week with patch 8.50

Jürgen Horn 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale is planning a major patch with Update 8.5 that includes many bug fixes. Some players want something different.

What is bothering the fans? Since Update 8.2 and several subsequent patches, many Fortnite players are angry. There are a number of annoying bugs that are currently plaguing the game.

Especially in light of the current qualifiers for the World Cup with millions of US dollars in prize money, players want a game that is as bug-free as possible.

Therefore, Epic is now promising a major patch that is supposed to fix (almost) all problems.

This is planned for Patch 8.5

In the upcoming Update 8.5, Epic intends to first address the new bugs and thus restore order to the game. According to an Epic employee, among other things, the following will change:

Ghost Sound Bug Fix: This bug came with 8.3 and causes sounds to occur where no one is. This completely ruins the game for many players, as they expect and react to opponents, but no one is there. Epic says this bug will be fixed in 8.5.
Trap Glitch Bug Fix: Those who wanted to place spike traps on a wall ended up placing them in the middle thanks to this glitch. Moreover, it frequently happened that players moved around the traps without activating them. Here too, help is promised with 8.5.
Loot Fail Bug Fix: There seems to be a glitch where you swap weapons even though you only wanted to collect them. Conversely, it often occurs that you collect when you actually want to swap the weapon. They also want to make some changes here to fix the problem.

When does Update 8.5 come? It is expected that the patch with the bug fixes will be released on April 24, 2019.

What do players want more? However, the bugs from the last updates are not the only annoyance right now. Because Epic removed a number of features starting with 8.2 that players had grown fond of. Among other things, players are annoyed by the following:

There are no hit points regained after kills
Less material is collected
Resources are harder limited

Therefore, many players demand “Epic, revert Patch 8.2 and fix the bugs!” The latter will be addressed by Epic now, but the rollback of the patch does not seem to be on the agenda.

These 2 Overwatch heroes visit the new zone Mechagon in WoW

Benedict Grothaus 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The World of Warcraft will feature several new areas with Patch 8.2. One of them is the gnome area Mechagon. Players have discovered an Easter egg from Overwatch in this new area on the PTR.

Who is in Mechagon? Players have found two unique NPCs while exploring Mechagon. These NPCs are the giant trogg Roadtrogg and the small gnome Junkbrat.

Roadtrogg wears a gas mask, leather armor, thick steel bracers, and wields a solid hook, while Junkbrat carries some sticks of dynamite on his chest, a grenade on his back, and a kind of grenade launcher in his hand.

The two characters are obviously a nod to Roadhog and Junkrat from Overwatch, Blizzard’s shooter.

Who are Roadhog and Junkrat? Mako “Roadhog” Rutledge and Jamison “Junkrat” Fawkes are two of the currently 30 playable heroes of Overwatch. Both are Australian outlaws whose story is closely tied to “Junkertown,” a city of wild ruffians and scrap collectors.

Roadhog is a rather stout fellow, characterized by a huge hook that he uses to pull enemies towards him and a gas mask. Junkrat, on the other hand, is a somewhat crazy explosive fanatic, throwing grenades, mines, and bombs around.

With Junkertown, they fit well into the new area Mechagon, because like Mechagon, Junkertown is also full of junk and technology.

What is Mechagon? Mechagon will be one of the new areas in the upcoming Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft. It is meant to be a kind of farming area, similar to the Timeless Isle from Mists of Pandaria.

Mechagon is said to be full of secrets. At every corner, something is supposed to be discovered that isn’t obvious, like rare enemies or secret quests. One of these secrets seems to have already been discovered with the two heroes – an Overwatch Easter egg.

Otherwise, Mechagon will have plenty of grinding. This grind is something Cortyn is particularly looking forward to.

Private server of a dead MMORPG was first invaded, closed shortly afterwards

Andreas Bertits 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

After the existence of a secret private server for the superhero MMORPG City of Heroes was revealed, a copycat followed. However, this was already shut down a few days after its launch due to legal reasons. But there seems to be hope.

Which server is it about? For six years, the private server SCORE (Secret Cabal Of Reverse Engineers) of the MMORPG City of Heroes (CoH) ran unnoticed and was only available to a few players before the matter was officially announced a few days ago.

There was a lot of criticism, as many CoH fans felt scammed. The community always prided itself on its solidarity, and after the MMORPG was discontinued in 2012, only selected fans were allowed to continue playing on the secret server. This upset many.

Subsequently, SCORE operator Leandro Pardini released the source code, which led to another server being opened. However, this one was already closed after only a few days.

Hope is the last to die

Why was the server closed? The reason given was that they were on a good path to a legal proceeding and wanted to protect families. It was a tough decision, but the risk was simply too great.

That’s why there is hope: The operators state that they are now looking for ways to continue the project in other ways.

The server on which the game previously ran is said to be gone and there apparently is no way to access its data anymore. However, the situation may not be as bleak as it currently seems. The team is working hard to solve the problem.

There seems to be some kind of backup that is now being checked. Perhaps this can be used to set up the server anew. However, it is unclear how this would then solve the legal situation.

A knee-jerk reaction

What is the problem? The private server of City of Heroes was operated without permission and apparently also without the knowledge of NCSoft, which still holds the rights to the MMORPG.

It is currently unclear how NCSoft will react to the whole situation. The current situation seems to be based purely on the panic of the operators, who preemptively took the server offline to avoid a lawsuit.

The team apologizes for this knee-jerk reaction and now wants to work on setting up a new server as soon as possible – hoping that NCSoft does not initiate legal action.

Perhaps it would be wiser to wait for the release of the unofficial CoH successor City of Titan…

Shadow Priests dominate new raid in WoW so hard that Blizzard is now nerfing them

Cortyn 23. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the new raid Crucible of Storms from World of Warcraft, Shadow Priests are the kings of damage. But now Blizzard is taking the crown away from them: A nerf is announced for the next patch.

For almost a week now, the raid “Crucible of Storms” has been available in World of Warcraft. However, it has become clear over the Easter weekend that one class is leading ahead of all others.

The Shadow Priest dominates in the two boss fights of the Crucible and is far ahead in first place on the damage charts. This was even too much for Blizzard, so a nerf for the Shadow Priests is coming to tone them down to a healthy level.

Why were Shadow Priests so successful? The main reason for the Priests’ success lies in the fact that Shadow Priests benefit from fights against multiple targets like no other class.

They can then build their resource “Insanity” faster and distribute their DoTs much more effectively and keep them active on multiple enemies for longer. Since both fights in the Crucible of Storms take place against multiple enemies, this advantage was particularly pronounced.

This is how Blizzard wants to nerf: The developers see the problem primarily in an Azerite trait. The ability “Promising Spirits”, which increases the damage of Shadowy Apparitions by 100% and is stackable multiple times, will be reduced to 70%. This should lower the overall damage of Shadow Priests by several percentage points and bring them more “in line” with other classes.

The Shadowy Apparitions are the little “ghosts” that players can see in a fight, flying from the Shadow Priest to the enemies. The more enemies are affected by DoTs, the more ghosts appear.

This is how Blizzard justifies the nerf: Blizzard emphasizes that it is not about weakening specializations that can shine in certain situations. Every class has its strengths and fights in which it excels.

This time, however, the Shadow Priest is far above the tolerable level and therefore needs to be scaled down a bit.

It is a bit ironic that Shadow Priests dominate in the raid they are story-wise responsible for. After all, it was the Shadow Priests who carried Xal’atath in Legion. This very blade was responsible for opening the raid and has now lured the players into a trap.

The changes are set to go live this week, most likely with the maintenance on Wednesday. These will also increase the item level of world quests.

Were you as a Shadow Priest out and about in the Crucible of Storms? How do you like the new raid? Do you find the nerfs justified?

Schuhmann 23. April 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The online shooter The Division 2 was released about a month ago and has already gone through quite a bit. Our author Schuhmann looks at where the game currently stands and gives an assessment of the situation.

These are the two phases of The Division 2: The previous course of The Division 2 can be divided into two phases:

The honeymoon period, in which (almost) everything was great – this lasted from the release on 15.3. to 5.4.
the current WR-5 phase, where many things are going well, but problems arise – this phase began on 5.4. with the first major update. The phase is expected to end in May when the raid goes live and the second major patch arrives, which will overhaul half the game

The Division 2 Tidal Basin Stronghold — The April update brought Tidal Basin and the turning point for The Division 2.

This is how the honeymoon was: The release of The Division 2 went smoothly and without major issues. Many “core fans” from The Division 1 were thrilled by how Massive has further developed the cover shooter that they know so well.

Especially the campaign of The Division 2 was praised. The atmosphere, gameplay, and strong polish of the game appealed to many.

The Division 2 felt complete and polished at release – especially compared to Anthem, which was released just a month before, The Division 2 had a lot to offer from day one.

Furthermore, Massive presented a solid content plan on how they would improve the game.

the division 2 invasion — The roadmap looked very solid – the raid was supposed to start in April.

Were there already any downsides? Overall, there were only clouds on the horizon in the first 3 weeks:

There was little PvP play
those who dared into PvP could fall victim to a much too strong build
the variety of builds proved to be not as great as hoped before launch
additionally, many players rushed into the then endgame – the regular players finished early

But there was always belief: The real fun in The Division 2 starts only with World Rank 5 and the raid later.

The-Division-2-Black-Tusk — The Black Tusk took command with Patch 3.0.

This was the turning point: The patch on 5.4. brought World Rank 5, but also some problems:

it became clear that build variety is quite limited, because tanks are perceived as too weak
additionally, issues with skill power arose: Here the mod system did not work
some bugs and glitches were newly introduced with the patch
overall, the balance at World Rank 5 struggled in many areas – some talents are too weak, some weapon types are hardly used, Exotics play no role, and the special gear sets are practically useless
and it turned out that the “Dark Zone,” the PvP, is hardly visited

This is how Massive reacted: The developers of The Division 2 responded mainly with analysis and a “stop”:

With smaller updates, the most pressing issues were addressed – special ammo started dropping again
Furthermore, Massive overhauled the schedule and stopped the raid for now: It will only be released when the balance is right
They also presented extensive plans on how to tackle balance issues regarding tanks, talents, skill power, and the Dark Zone
A test server for PC was introduced, where the new changes are already running

This is how The Division 2 currently stands: The honeymoon is over, and players are now aware of the difficulties.

The first patch was, in the eyes of many, more of a step back than a step forward. However, some see the current criticism of The Division 2 as “complaining on a high level”.

The mood around The Division 2 is still good, although not as euphoric as in the first weeks. The agents are currently in a waiting position, to see how the balance patch will unfold and how the raid will play.

Credit must be given to how well and confidently Massive has responded to the issues so far. The communication has been strong. Massive is clearly in tune with “The Division 2,” has addressed every problem and proposed solutions.

Now it will depend on how these problems are addressed in practice.

What’s next? The test server will run at least until May 2nd. The next major patch is not expected until May.

When exactly the major balance patch and the raid will come is currently still unknown.

Thousands are currently hacking lasers in Fortnite

Jürgen Horn 23. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale the season-ending event is entering its second round. This time, mysterious lasers have appeared, and players will likely need to align them together.

What has happened with the runes? Since April 19, mysterious runes have appeared in Fortnite. First, a rune wandered across a platform on the map, and players had to continuously hit it to move it to a large, cross-server event at the big bunker at Loot Lake.

This has now been completed, and the rune has activated a kind of machinery. However, the big bunker still has four more devices for additional runes.

What we know about the laser rune

What happened next? Recently, a new rune appeared, which conveniently hovers over the bunker at Loot Lake this time. But so far, it does nothing. Instead, platforms have emerged at three additional locations that emit a kind of colored laser:

Volcano: Green laser
Hill north of Pleasant Park: Blue laser
Hill south of Shifty Shafts: Red laser

What is the deal with the lasers? The lasers beam across the map and shift their alignment in seemingly random paths. Players can damage the lasers with pickaxes, which might relate to their movement. Thus, it may be that the lasers move whenever enough players have hit them worldwide.

A popular theory on Reddit suggests that the three lasers must all directly shine on the rune in Loot Lake for stage 2 of the puzzle to be completed.

What has been achieved so far? So far, a reaction has only been observed at one laser. The green beam at the volcano hit the rune and changed both its color intensity and its sound. So there seems to be some truth to the theory.

All players worldwide just need to hit the lasers strong enough so that all three align on the rune.

What’s next? The symbolism of the runes seems, according to a Reddit theory, to also provide clues to solving the puzzle:

Rune 1 creatively shows a rune pedestal being hit with a pickaxe. That directly led to the solution.
Rune 2 shows three points meeting with beams in the center. Exactly what seems to be needed with the lasers.
Rune 3 looks like a running character. Perhaps a lot of running is necessary to activate the next rune.
Rune 4 contains several triangles, possibly hinting at structures to build.

Those who have been paying attention know that there are actually 5 rune slots at Loot Lake. What is needed as the 5th puzzle piece is still unclear.

Perhaps in the end, everything has to do with Thanos and the Avengers, which has now been specifically announced.
