Did Destiny 2 accidentally nerf the Warlock? This is what Bungie says

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Since the last update, some Destiny 2 fans have complained about a weakening Warlock super and a seemingly broken Exotic. Was there an unintended nerf? Now Bungie has commented on the matter.

Not everything went smoothly with the latest update: The Update 2.2.1 not only initiated the Arc Week and included numerous sandbox changes – some annoying bugs also snuck into the game with the patch.

Bungie has already removed the most urgent issues with a hotfix, but some fans believed they had encountered another bug or unintended nerf with the Warlock class.

Fans complained about: Specifically, it’s about the performance of the Arc Warlock. With the start of Arc Week, the developers have strengthened numerous Arc classes – including the Warlock. However, some Guardians have noticed that his Arc super “Chaos Reach” does less or no damage in certain situations.

Additionally, the Geomag Stabilizers, an exotic leg armor for the Arc Warlock, also seemed to no longer function properly. They are supposed to extend the duration of Chaos Reach, among other things, but that apparently was not always the case.

Some fans suspected an unintended nerf in the form of another bug that came with Update 2.2.1. After all, this patch mainly strengthened Arc supers. The fact that an Arc super apparently performed worse than before the sandbox update did not make sense to many.

Destiny 2 Forsaken Exo Boots

This is Bungie’s response: Bungie has also commented on this matter. Initially, Community Manager Cozmo addressed this in one of the posts on Reddit, stating that the developers are looking into these reports.

Some time later, the problem was apparently identified. As Cozmo reports, everything is fine with the Chaos Reach super and the Geomag Stabilizers. There was no nerf or change to this Warlock super and the armor exotic. However, there seems to be a bug related to the exotic hand cannon Dorn.

It appears that enemies previously hit by the Dorn take no damage from the Chaos Reach super. The Geomags may also feel as if they are not doing their job properly in this case, according to Cozmo.

However, it could also be due to other factors. Players who experience the problem even without the Dorn have been asked to report it and, if possible, to provide videos.

If you enjoy playing this Warlock focus, you should refrain from using it in combination with the Dorn for now.

This issue is also being investigated: As the studio announced in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, another Arc super is experiencing problems after the major sandbox update.

Currently, the super attacks of the Arcstrider Hunter are unintentionally dealing much higher damage than intended. Strike and Gambit bosses are currently being pulverized by Hunters with their Arc staffs. So don’t be surprised if you can’t keep up with Arc Hunters at the moment.

Bungie is already working on this problem, but it is still unknown when the corresponding fixes will be released.

MMORPG Lost Ark gets a new class and it looks cool

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

Lance Master is the newest class announced for the Korean MMORPG Lost Ark. It integrates into the ranks of damage dealers.

What is a Lance Master? The new class is a fast damage dealer whose skills are approximately melee to medium range.

Which specializations the Lance Master will have or whether it is a specialization of a base class is still unclear.

von Irina Moritz

How does the Lance Master work? From the description and the video of the new class, it becomes clear that the Lance Master has two different stances.

  • “Ambush” stance is more suitable for large groups of enemies and AOE attacks
  • “Intensive” specializes in single enemies and deals high damage to them

Lance Master can switch between them relatively freely during combat and gains access to a set of red or blue skills that have different effects.

As is the case with the other classes in Lost Ark, the Lance Master has its own resource. It divides into “red” and “blue”, and is filled by using skills of the corresponding color.

The resource bar is divided into three segments. When switching stances in combat, the filled bars are consumed, and the Lance Master gains various buffs and advantages.

What about a release in Europe? While Lost Ark is continuously being supplied with more new content in Korea, gamers here in the West are left dry.

The announcement of Lost Ark in Russia made fans of the MMORPG hopeful, but nothing has happened there for a long time.

Although the developer Smile Gate has emphasized that they want to bring Lost Ark to the West in a “finished and polished state”, when that will happen is still unknown.

Looks like Fortnite is bringing Thanos back at the launch of Avengers: Endgame now

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite the Avengers villain Thanos could soon return. Dataminers discovered this in the latest patch 8.30.

Who is Thanos? This character actually comes from the Avengers movies, but had a guest appearance in Fortnite last May.

There you could find Thanos’s Infinity Gauntlet in a special game mode and evolve into this overpowering character.

This indicates Thanos’s return

Why should Thanos return? A dataminer has now reported a find in patch 8.30. There are clear indications of a return of Thanos.

That’s why it fits so well: Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame comes to theaters on April 24. It is possible that an event in Fortnite might promote the film again.

Officially, Epic has not yet confirmed such an event. But if it is launched in time for the film, then it will likely happen soon.

The last Thanos event went like this: The villain from the Avengers movies had his own game mode last year. Somewhere on the map his Infinity Gauntlet landed. Players had to search for this glove.

Thanos
Thanos was incredibly powerful in Fortnite

Whoever found the glove evolved into Thanos. This gave you significantly more health, allowed you to make huge jumps, and you fired a laser beam from your glove.

However, you were also somewhat limited. For example, you couldn’t build. But this wasn’t necessary, as you could jump through the air and easily destroy your opponents’ structures.

What was special about the mode: Regardless of Thanos, the same rules of a normal solo mode applied. The unique aspect of this mode was that Thanos’s opponents had to work together to defeat their powerful enemy. In a one-on-one, Thanos almost always won if played smart.

Would you be excited about a return of Thanos?

Maybe you can defeat Thanos with this strong combination?

In WoW you will soon be able to create your own piece of jewelry

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

In the next patch of World of Warcraft, you will create your own trinket. You can determine many attributes of the new jewelry piece yourself and gain powerful bonuses.

With Patch 8.2, a lot will change in World of Warcraft. In addition to the two new areas Nazjatar and Mechagon, there are also many changes to game mechanics. New systems will also be introduced.

If you want to customize your gear according to your individual preference, you should pay attention – because in Mechagon you can build your own piece of jewelry (trinket)!

Where can you find the new jewelry in WOW? According to the current state, the “Pocket-Sized Computational Device” will be obtained through the quest line in Mechagon. As it befits gnome technology, this jewelry piece can be equipped with various punch cards to gain new properties and attributes. The various punch cards are basically different colored sockets (like at the jeweler), but with more powerful effects.

These punch cards are available: In the presentation, 9 different punch cards were already shown, 3 for each socket place. Depending on the color, the punch cards have different effects. Essentially, the punch cards seem to be sorted as follows:

  • Yellow: Pure attributes for the jewelry piece, such as critical strike rating or versatility.
  • Red: An active ability or a powerful passive buff. This includes the channeling of a damage spell or a chance to increase speed by 10% for a few seconds.
  • Blue: Blue punch cards are “fluff” effects, so little gimmicks. For example, you can increase the underwater breathing duration by 1000% or have mechanical enemies displayed on the minimap.

Interaction with Azerite traits: Moreover, some punch cards are also said to be capable of enhancing or slightly altering certain Azerite traits from the Azerite armor. However, examples of this will likely only be seen when the patch is playable on the PTR.

Where can you find new punch cards? The punch cards, that is, the upgrades for the jewelry piece, can be obtained from almost all game content related to Mechagon. This can include rare mobs, world quests, or even a visit to the dungeon “Operation: Mechagon”.

WoW Mechagon Cybergnomes
In Mechagon, the robotic gnomes are waiting. Fortunately, a strong piece of jewelry is also waiting.

How long will you be wearing the jewelry piece? Whether the jewelry piece is so good that it serves as a constant companion in Patch 8.2 or will be replaced after a short time remains to be seen. However, that Blizzard allows players so much freedom in customizing their gear is a novelty and will certainly serve as an experiment to see if this will be allowed in future expansions.

Please keep in mind that the jewelry piece and its extensions may still change before the release of Patch 8.2. Blizzard wants to wait for player feedback from the PTR, which begins next week.

You can find more details on Patch 8.2 Azshara’s Ascension in our comprehensive overview article.

China is considering banning Bitcoin mining – due to environmental reasons

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Chinese government plans to consider whether to ban cryptocurrency mining like Bitcoin. As justification against crypto mining, China cites arguments such as energy waste and environmental pollution.

What is the Chinese government planning? According to a document from China’s state planning agency, a ban on cryptocurrency mining is to be considered.

What is the current value of Bitcoin? Currently, the cryptocurrency is recovering and is around 5,000 US dollars per Bitcoin. The highest value was once 20,000 dollars in 2017.

Bitcoin

A Ban Due to Environmental Pollution

Why is this ban coming? The reasons given include energy waste and significant environmental pollution.

For cryptocurrency mining like Bitcoin or Ethereum, fast graphics cards with good GPUs are used for the calculations. China now fears that there will be significant wear and tear on these.

Furthermore, crypto mining consumes a lot of electricity, which China claims could represent a waste of resources. Especially with Bitcoin, mining takes a long time, consuming a lot of electricity and putting heavy strain on the hardware through intensive computing processes.

According to the website Digiconomist.net, Bitcoin mining in one year is equivalent to the annual energy consumption of a country like Israel.

Mining cryptocurrency leads to wear on graphics cards.

For China, Bitcoin is a Red Rag

Are these the real reasons? Cryptocurrencies have long been a thorn in China’s side. The anonymity of the payment process and the almost non-existent control likely pose a problem for the authorities.

If mining is classified as a waste of resources and environmental pollution, a ban could follow.

China will Gaming einschränken – Zensur oder Kindeswohl?
von Schuhmann

What would a ban mean? China is currently regarded as a “hotspot” for cryptocurrency mining. If a ban were to be implemented, this status would likely fall to other countries, particularly those where electricity is relatively cheap.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies currently play no significant role in online games, even if for example MMORPGs have been experimenting with it for years or Bitcoin has been hidden in No Man’s Sky.

However, whether a ban will come is still uncertain. Additionally, rules and regulations must first be established that the authorities in China must adhere to in order to enforce a ban.

With this brilliant tactic, players in Apex Legends counter even hackers

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

A team developed a strategy in Apex Legends that even a hacker couldn’t defeat. This tactic doesn’t even require much skill; it just takes a long time.

This is how the trick works: Player TesservcT and his two teammates encountered an enemy cheater in Apex Legends. The cheater followed them through the walls and later killed them through almost impossible openings.

The team knew they couldn’t win an open confrontation. So they simply waited out the hacker—with as many healing items as they could find.

TesservcT and another colleague collected medkits and syringes that they eventually gave to their third colleague, a Lifeline. She survived by healing in the closing zone long enough that even the hacker died from the increasing damage, allowing them to secure the victory.

Why can hackers do nothing about it? Generally, hacks in Apex Legends are limited to three things:

However, it does little help a hacker to see and even hit an opponent if they can’t reach them alive. The closing zone deals more and more damage, but healing can mitigate that damage.

This is how TesservcT’s team did it. Apparently, Lifeline had more healing items than the hacker, who later died from the zone’s damage.

apex-lifeline
The healer Lifeline can also stay alive through her abilities.

What is the problem with hackers? Hackers are currently ruining the game for players of Apex Legends on PC. Due to their unfair behavior and cheating advantages, they often snatch undeserved victories.

The problem has already been pointed out by streamers like Dr DisRespect.

Apex Legends Dr DisRespect calls for Hacker Alarm

What can I do against hackers? For some time now, you can report hackers through a system in the game. Respawn then checks the case and has already distributed mass bans in the past.

If you have a hacker on your team and are sure they are cheating, you can also just lure them to their death.

What do you think of the strategy?

Cheaters in Apex Legends have become so brazen that they complain about penalties:

Anthem returns, will soon showcase its new Stronghold

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

After a very quiet time, the Anthem developers are back and announce a new livestream. They want to showcase a new Stronghold that is set to be released in April.

Why quiet? Just yesterday, we reported that it has been very quiet around Anthem lately. A planned stream was canceled to allow more time for work on the April update.

Players were already waiting for the announcement of the next livestream. Even before the release of Anthem, the livestreams with the developers took place approximately every two weeks.

BioWare wants to show Stronghold: BioWare recently announced a livestream scheduled for next week. It is set to start on April 17 at around 10 PM German time.

Anthem Stronghold The Sunken
This screenshot was posted by BioWare with the stream announcement. What can we expect in “The Sunken”?

The stream will be hosted by Ben Irving, the Lead Producer of Anthem. Along with a special guest, the new Stronghold “The Sunken Cell” will be introduced. The Stronghold is scheduled to be released later in April, but at a later date.

In April, more features for Anthem are expected, including:

  • Mastery System
  • New Freeplay Events
  • Weekly Stronghold Challenges
  • Leaderboards
  • Guilds

You can find more features that are planned for Anthem in our roadmap.

This is what players say: In the Anthem subreddit and on Twitter, players are glad to finally hear something about the upcoming content. However, some are disappointed that BioWare is taking so much time with the new content. The missing content is one of the many issues with Anthem.

Players hope that the new Stronghold is not just made up of old parts.

Alle News und Infos zum Spiel findet Ihr auch auf unserer Anthem-Seite auf Facebook. Mitspieler für PC, PS4 und Xbox One könnt Ihr in unserer Anthem-Gruppe auftreiben.

Additionally, they hope that “The Sunken Cell” is not just made of previously existing structures. User XxpogxzogxX says in the Anthem subreddit that the image of the new Stronghold looks like something that has already been seen in other Strongholds and Dungeons.

Some freelancers would still hope for a few bug fixes. On Reddit and also in the comments on our site MeinMMO, players report ongoing issues.

On Reddit user Ventrical fears that new content will bring even more problems. BioWare should first fix the major issues before introducing new content.

In other Strongholds, players deal so much damage that the final boss no longer wants to cooperate:

The Division 2 removes an anti-gay image – Ubisoft says: “Sorry!”

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division 2 there is trouble regarding a street art image found in the game world. It contains a homophobic insult. Here is Ubisoft’s response.

What is the problem? A street art image from The Division 2, found in the game world, depicts a homophobic insult.

Ubisoft has since responded and apologized. Additionally, the image has been removed from the game. But what exactly did the image show?

A police officer with an insult on the badge

This is the image in question: The problematic street art image shows a police officer holding a donut. The intended insult is cleverly concealed on the officer’s badge.

Source: Imgur

It says “FA6607”, which can be associated with leetspeak and is a homophobic insult. What the creator intended can only be speculated, as the insult was placed there without context.

According to PCGamer, some fans suspect that the image is a reference to the song “Police Story” by the American punk band “Black Flag”.

Regardless of the context, the word is quite well concealed and made incomprehensible to anyone unfamiliar with leetspeak.

What is leetspeak? It is a variation of the English language that has developed on the internet. Characters are replaced with numbers, and special characters can also be included.

To prevent such an incident from occurring again, the review process surrounding such images will also be scrutinized.

The Division 2 features dozens of such street arts scattered throughout its game world. As in its predecessor, these were created by numerous artists.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is allegedly a single-player game – without Frostbite

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

There are new indications of what we can expect from Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order. It is reportedly a single-player game that surprisingly does not use the Frostbite engine.

What are these indications: Journalist Jason Schreier from Kotaku tweeted that he is very optimistic about Respawn’s Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order. It is the first single-player game in the Star Wars universe in a very long time.

Furthermore, if successful, it could show Electronic Arts that not every game needs the Frostbite engine. A community manager from Electronic Arts also confirmed on Reddit that the title uses the Unreal Engine 4.

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1116428927759781888

A poster reveals details

What else is new? The poster for the game has been leaked, and it contains some interesting details:

  • We see a person holding a blue lightsaber. This is apparently the Padawan we will play.
  • The hero is accompanied by a small robot. Apparently, this is a sidekick.
  • In the sky, TIE Fighters can be seen, which are apparently searching for the Padawan.
  • On the rocky and snow-covered planet, a heavy Republic cruiser has crashed. This indicates that Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order is likely set shortly after the film Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith.

What do we learn from the new information? Jason Schreier is generally very well-informed and has many contacts in the gaming industry. So we can assume that Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order offers the following:

  • It is a single-player game.
  • It uses the Unreal Engine 4 instead of the Frostbite engine.
  • We will have a robot sidekick.
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Poster
The poster for Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order reveals some details about the game.

EA and the Unreal Engine?

Why is the engine so interesting? Until now, it was said that EA apparently insists on using the Frostbite engine for games. This has led to several problems, as revealed in an insider report by Jason Schreier about Bioware’s online shooter Anthem.

That Respawn is now allowed to use the Unreal Engine 4 is interesting. The production of the title supposedly began before EA acquired Respawn. Therefore, switching the engine to Frostbite did not make sense.

And as Jason Schreier writes, the success of the game could indeed lead EA to give developers more freedom in choosing the engine in the future.

How are fans reacting to the new information? Generally, the new information is being received very positively. The poster also excites fans to finally see the title in action.

Lord_Smeagol_III commented on Reddit regarding the confirmation of the Unreal Engine 4: “Thank goodness!”

On Saturday, April 13 at 8:30 PM, we will learn more about Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order at the Star Wars Celebration. EA and Respawn Entertainment will then present the game.

Elder Scrolls Online is bursting at the seams – MMORPG introduces queues

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

While some MMORPGs are desperately in need of new players, currently so many The Elder Scrolls Online players want to play that the EU servers of the PC version cannot provide enough capacity. Queue systems have now been introduced.

What is going on? Zenimax announced that there are performance issues on the EU megaserver of the PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online. According to the developer, this is associated with a surge of players that the server’s capacity cannot handle.

For this reason, queue systems had to be implemented.

Europeans are playing on PC

Why is this only the case for the EU servers? According to Matt Firor from Zenimax, this “problem” mainly affects the EU servers because there are more PC players in Europe. The Elder Scrolls Online is therefore predominantly played on PC rather than on consoles here.

How are the issues manifesting? In general, the server performance is not good, but there are other signs as well:

  • Lags
  • Connection dropouts
  • Zone transitions to “zones” do not work
  • Finding a group does not always succeed

von Lucas Kaczynski

When did the problem arise? According to Zenimax, initial signs were noticed in January, but by the end of March, there was an extreme surge in player numbers. This became so severe that the server could not keep up, negatively impacting the player experience for ESO fans.

Therefore, the team had no choice but to implement the queue systems now.

ESO is popular

What is causing the sudden influx of ESO players? At the end of March, a free play event took place, where players could play for free from March 28 to April 3. This probably attracted a lot of new players.

Additionally, the MMORPG was discounted for the 25th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series. Furthermore, it is possible to play the Elsweyr prologue quest for free, which introduces the upcoming Elsweyr addon. ESO is also currently celebrating its 5th anniversary with an event.

All these factors have likely not only rekindled the interest of veterans in checking out ESO again but also attracted new players.

What is Zenimax doing now? Initially, the queue system was implemented. However, this is not intended to be a permanent solution. The studio plans to increase server capacities.

This applies to both the EU and US megaserver, as the same problem is brewing on the horizon there.

As can be seen from this situation, the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is currently doing quite well.

That’s why Twitch star Ninja is now warning: Fortnite is following the path of flop H1Z1

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite there is currently a lot of criticism about the latest decisions from Epic. The Twitch star Ninja has spoken out, fearing that Fortnite is on its way to becoming the next H1Z1. That crashed down after great success.

That’s why the comparison to H1Z1: In 2016, H1Z1 was one of the most popular online shooters in the world. At some point in 2017, it was overtaken by PUBG after the developers made several poor decisions in the eyes of many and failed to “fix” the game.

In 2019, there was an attempt to relaunch H1Z1 with a new developer on PC, which did not work out.

H1Z1 was therefore in a similar position a few years ago as Fortnite is now: it was the biggest battle royale game of its time.

However, Fortnite is much larger and more successful, because H1Z1 was only on PC back then – Fortnite is available on all platforms.

H1Z1 title image
Was 2016 das größte Battle-Royale-Spiel und ein Hit auf Steam und Twitch war.

Why does Ninja fear Fortnite could crash now? Fortnite has made several decisions in recent weeks that the community has not received well.

Ninja warns: If it continues like this, Fortnite could lose numerous players.

This is what Ninja says about the situation in Fortnite

This is his statement: In a stream, Ninja talks about the situation in Fortnite and makes an interesting comparison with H1Z1.

He says: “I’m telling you, they need to be careful. At this point, they are taking on too much and there are still so many glitches in the game that need to be fixed. They release updates and just add more glitches. They need to be careful; they are going the way H1Z1 went.”

This is what bothers many about Fortnite:

fortnite-hamsterkugel-titel-01

This is how it was back then with H1Z1: The veteran of battle royale shooters has lost immensely in players after the developers made many controversial decisions.

  • For example, there was an eSports league that was streamed on Facebook, but hardly interested anyone.
  • In general, H1Z1 never really felt polished, but showed numerous technical difficulties.
  • Additionally, there were always disputes among the developers. It was suspected that the money had run out.
H1Z1 Title
The game H1Z1 is hardly played anymore

That’s why the comparison is flawed: The comparison doesn’t really fit. Ninja is raising alarms here and painting a grim picture:

  • Fortnite is much larger and more successful than H1Z1 ever was.
  • The foundation of Fortnite is also much better than that of H1Z1 back then, which was on shaky ground. Behind Fortnite is Epic, a large and successful tech company that develops its own engine.
  • Furthermore, Epic has proven that they are willing to make radical changes to Fortnite.

Fortnite is still far from losing players as massively as H1Z1 did back then.

Nevertheless, there is a feeling that Fortnite is currently at a turning point. Just before the start of the big World Championship, there is more criticism of Epic and their decisions than ever before.

What do you think? Could Ninja be right? Should Epic be careful so that Fortnite doesn’t crash in the near future?

Trailer shows armored Mewtwo – Will it come to Pokémon GO?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

There are new speculations regarding an armored Mewtwo in Pokémon GO. This Mewtwo was first shown in a Japanese trailer for the new Pokémon movie.

Why are there new speculations? A new Pokémon movie is set to release in Japan this summer. A new trailer has now been released that shows the armored form of Mewtwo for the first time.

Will it come to Pokémon GO? Just this trailer alone does not promise anything special. However, a few days ago, a new form of Mewtwo was discovered in the code of Pokémon GO. So it could be related.

Here are the chances of an armored Mewtwo

This is what the trailer shows: In the trailer, there are short clips of a battle between various Pokémon and Mewtwo. Additionally, we also see Mew, which will likely also play a role in the movie.

To give you an insight into the trailer, we have embedded it here for you. However, it is in Japanese.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwJ8cKynuOQ

However, you don’t have to understand the language to recognize the armored Mewtwo. This is shown in the trailer. It will therefore play a role in the movie.

Here you see the armored Mewtwo in the trailer

This is why it’s interesting for Pokémon GO: The theory behind this find in the trailer is that this Mewtwo is also supposed to come to Pokémon GO.

After all, a mysterious form of Mewtwo was found in the game’s code a few days ago. Trainers are now hoping that the movie will be promoted with an event in Pokémon GO.

This means that players might be given the chance to obtain the armored Mewtwo in Pokémon GO, thereby promoting the new movie. At least, this is what some trainers hope.

Pokémon GO Mewtwo Title 2
A new form of Mewtwo could be awaiting us soon

When does the movie come out? The movie is set to be released on July 12 in Japan. So it is quite possible that a corresponding event will also take place in Pokémon GO during this time.

Nintendo is in direct contact with Niantic. So we can speculate that this form will find its way to Pokémon GO.

The Community Day in April will take place on Saturday. Here you have all the info:

Guild Wars 2 has released a patch that is supposed to prepare for the final episode of the Living World Season 4. The side story revolves around the Mists and the fight against the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik. As a reward, new weapon skins await.

What happens in the new events? In Central Tyria, the base game of Guild Wars 2, new Rift events appear mainly in areas level 15 to 25. You must complete these to receive items that have to be delivered to certain NPCs at the end.

How long do the events last? The events appear every 10 minutes and take about 7 minutes to complete. Since you need to participate in each event once, you will need approximately 70 minutes for each individual event or 100 minutes to complete 10 Rift events for the second achievement.

What rewards are there? There are two achievements that reward you with 5 or 8 achievement points. Additionally, there is a Rift Stalker back piece that can be upgraded to a new weapon.

This is what the three new weapons look like:

  • Greatsword
  • Sword
  • Scepter

Guide to the Events

This is when the events start: The events start every 10 minutes, always at XX:00, XX:10 continuously. There might not be a beginning or end to the events, but there is a specific order in which they appear:

  • Kessex Hills – Waypoint [&BBMAAAA=]
  • Lornars Pass – Waypoint [&BJkBAAA=]
  • Iron Marches – Waypoint [&BOQBAAA=]
  • Brisban Wildlands – Waypoint [&BF0AAAA=]
  • Shatterer’s Cliffs – Waypoint [&BFcCAAA=]
  • Diessa Plateau – Waypoint [&BJoDAAA=]
  • Snowdrift Caves – Waypoint [&BLsAAAA=]

It is important that one run takes 70 minutes. Therefore, there is no fixed time per map. You need to determine where the current state is and then follow the sequence. Alternatively, you can use the timer by That_Shaman.

Once you complete an event, you will automatically land in the area and at the spot where the next event will start.

The first event in Tyria: At the beginning, an event starts where you must free a portal from its protective barrier so that you can enter the Mists.

To remove the barrier, you need to catch crystals. These fly from the portal in all directions. You must stand in the appropriate zones within the white circles to catch the crystal:

How to catch a crystal in the new Rift events

Then you need to run up to the portal and activate the crystal there. Just press the new skill #1 that you received. This weakens the barrier.

Closed portal Rift events GW2

Once the barrier is destroyed, the portal opens, and you can enter the Mists. You have a maximum of five minutes to complete the barrier event; otherwise, it fails, and you must travel to the next area.

Open portal into the Mists GW2

The event in the Mists: In the Mists, a Rift Stalker waits for you. You might know it from previous storyline episodes or from events on the latest map.

The Rift Stalker has several AoE attacks that you should avoid. It also has a phase at 75%, 50%, and 25% where it becomes invulnerable. During this phase, it builds a shield that can only be broken with the crystals.

Rift Stalker GW2

The mechanic that was previously used in the open world is now needed again. However, if a crystal is not caught, small branded Devourers will appear this time, attacking you as well.

Once you have successfully defeated the Rift Stalker, a 30-second timer will appear. During this time, a deadly field spreads throughout the area. You must quickly reach the portal (via a small jumping puzzle).

If you do not use the portal, you will not receive a Wobble Chest, and thus, you will not get the necessary item for the achievement.

Delivering Items to NPCs

The achievements: There are two achievements related to the events. For the “Rift Runner” (5 achievement points), you simply need to travel to the Mists ten times and close rifts there.

For the achievement “Helpful Hero” (8 achievement points), you must close each individual rift once (starting from each map) and then bring the items found to specific people.

It is important that for the description of the items, it matters where you exit. For example, the Lost Golem must be taken to the Brisban Wildlands. To get it, you must complete the event before the Brisban Wildlands, in this case, Iron Marches!

The locations of the people: For the locations, we will start in the same order in which we listed the events above. At the respective places, both the people and the Rift events themselves are located. Ideally, you should directly hand over the found item.

  • Statue for Verla
  • Greatsword for Hajta
  • Rifle for Wyrh Pfreilbruch
  • Golem for Denn
  • Cat for Trijikk
  • Cow for Romm-Vernichterbrand
  • Dolyak for Tahnvas

The Crafting of Rift Stalker Weapons

This is how you craft the weapons: As a reward for the “Helpful Hero” achievement, you receive a Rift Stalker back piece. You need this for crafting the weapons.

However, you can also find it by chance in loot bags from the events or buy it from other players at the Trading Post.

To create the weapon in the Mystic Forge, you will need:

  • 1x Rift Stalker back piece
  • 25x Mystic Crystals (available at the Forge vendor)
  • 25x Ectoplasm Sphere
  • 1x The corresponding T7 weapon piece (Deldrimor Steel Greatsword Handle, Deldrimor Steel Sword Handle, or Ghostwood Scepter Staff)

In Patch 8.2 of WoW, your mounts can run over water

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A detail from Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft should please mount collectors. Because you can teach your mounts new abilities.

What’s it about? Mounts are an important thing in World of Warcraft. They quickly bring players from point A to point B, but few of them have special properties. Especially the Water Striders are popular because they can walk on water as the only mounts. But that will change with Patch 8.2. All mounts will then be able to learn this and more abilities.

How does it work? With Patch 8.2, there is a new equipment slot for your mounts. You can then choose one of several bonuses that will be applied to your mounts. The equipment applies to all your mounts simultaneously, and you can only choose one item at a time. So, if you choose the bonus to walk on water, all your mounts can walk on water until you choose another piece of equipment.

WoW Mount Equipment Items

What bonuses are there? In the livestream, Blizzard presented three different items that can be given to mounts yesterday.

  • Saddlechute: If you dismount from your mount in the air, an emergency parachute is activated that reduces your fall damage.
  • Inflatable Mount Shoes: Your mount can walk on water. Any damage taken will break this effect.
  • Comfortable Rider’s Barding: Attacks from enemies will no longer daze you as long as you are riding a mount.

Whether there will be more items is uncertain, but likely. After all, there are many potential effects, even if they are just cosmetic.

Nerf for the Water Strider: At the same time, there will also be a nerf for the Water Strider. It will lose its ability to walk on water. As compensation, all owners of the Water Strider will receive the equipment for free, which allows your mounts to walk on water. Additionally, the price for further purchases of this equipment will be reduced if you own the Water Strider.

You can find more details about Patch 8.2 in our comprehensive overview article about Azshara’s Rise.

Are you looking forward to this adjustment of mounts? Or is it a pity that the Water Striders will lose their unique feature? Let us know in the comments!

Have you seen how cool the Heart of Azeroth will be soon?

After criticism: How Destiny 2 revises controversial plans for enhancement cores

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

For Season 7, Destiny 2 aims to make the coveted improvement cores more accessible. Recently, it was presented how. However, the plans received a lot of criticism from fans and have now been adjusted.

The original change pertains to: For Season 7, Bungie has big plans for Destiny 2. Among other things, the studio has tackled a sensitive and controversial topic – the improvement cores and infusing.

They wanted to ensure that no Guardian suffers from a lack of improvement cores anymore – a condition that numerous Guardians have been complaining about for quite some time.

The plans were to create an additional secure source for these coveted cores. In the next season, new bounties should therefore be introduced at the Gunsmith that reward players with guaranteed cores. The previous scrap collector bounties were to be eliminated.

D2 Core Title (1)

This is what the new plan entails: However, these plans were not well received by many fans and were criticized to some extent. The changes are not good enough, would shift the problem, or even worsen the situation, some players say.

Therefore, Bungie has now adjusted the original idea for Season 7 as follows:

  • Originally, the new bounties were to be obtainable at the Gunsmith for weapon materials. Now, they are to be purchasable with Glimmer instead.
  • There will be several daily bounties at the Gunsmith. Each of these will reward Guardians with a guaranteed improvement core and two mod components.
  • Additionally, there will be two weekly bounties. These should reward players with a guaranteed improvement core, a mod (for weapon or armor), as well as additional materials or reputation/rank points.
  • The points include, for example, Recklessness or Valor points. However, there will not be any Glory points from the competitive playlist.
Destiny 2 forsaken spider

What does this mean for players? Since the new bounties will be available for Glimmer, they are basically “free”. Players no longer need to provide weapon parts for them – one of the biggest points of criticism of the original plan – and can use this resource for mod components or reputation upgrades and packages at the Gunsmith.

Furthermore, it should now be possible for almost every player to earn sufficient cores. Considering several daily bounties at the Gunsmith and factoring in the weekly bounties as well as other sources like the Spider, there should be no more core shortage with this system – even if the scrap collector bounties are eliminated.

d2 banshee-44

This is how fans are reacting to this adjustment: Many players are pleased with this news and now consider this new plan to be an acceptable solution. Thus, the core shortage should soon be resolved for players with less time as well. However, some fans are now even more intensely demanding the complete abolition of cores as a required material for infusing.

Because soon it seems that everyone will be able to earn enough cores without any issues, making them not a real factor for infusing anymore. However, some fans do not understand why they would still need them at all. Then the improvement cores could be completely removed from this process. They should only be required for masterwork upgrades – so the wish.

What do you think of the new plans for the improvement cores and the corresponding bounties? Do they represent an acceptable solution for you in this form?

How cool the Heart of Azeroth will be in WoW: Patch 8.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has revealed how the Heart of Azeroth will change in World of Warcraft. We show what the developers have planned.

In a livestream, developer Jeremy Feasel from World of Warcraft talked about many changes that will come to players in Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara. One of the biggest innovations is the reworking of the Heart of Azeroth. We will tell you how the artifact necklace will change with the upcoming update.

WoW Heart of Azeroth New System 2
In the center is the large socket slot.

Active abilities for everyone: Every player can choose how they want to upgrade their Heart of Azeroth. These upgrades occur through essences, which players can unlock through various actions. Some may be available through world quests, others in raids or in PvP. These essences can then be placed in three socket slots – one large and two small.

  • The large socket slot grants the active ability of an essence and additionally its weaker passive bonus.
  • The small socket slots grant only the passive bonus of a chosen essence.
WoW Heart of Azeroth New System 3

Essences have multiple levels: Each essence exists in several ranks. They start with uncommon (green) and go up to legendary (orange). Ranks not only increase the raw numbers of an essence’s ability but also bring additional effects. For example, an essence might gain a second charge for its ability when upgrading from “rare” to “epic” or can deal damage to additional targets.

The last level (legendary) is cosmetic in nature and serves as some kind of prestige reward for the hardest content, such as mythic raiding or high-level PvP.

WoW Heart of Azeroth New System 4

Great choice for individuality: In the preview, there are 11 different essences, each coming with its own active ability. Thus, it will be possible to heavily customize the Heart of Azeroth and choose exactly the ability you want to play with. Whether they are also well-balanced, so that later not everyone runs around with the same abilities, remains to be seen.

You can reset the essences at will and swap them in rest zones, similar to talents. They will not be consumed. Once learned, you can apply an essence infinitely.

When is the patch coming? Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara is expected to hit the PTR sometime next week. Those who want can test the new features themselves before they are released on the live servers in a few months.

You can find many more details about Patch 8.2 “Azshara’s Rise” in our extensive overview article.

What do you think of the changes to the Heart of Azeroth? Is this a better, cool system? Or is it just a drop in the bucket?

The new Patch 2.1 for The Division 2 is coming soon – What does the update change?

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

Developer Massive has announced the next update for The Division 2 . Here are the changes from Patch 2.1.

When is Patch 2.1 coming? The update is coming next week, but Massive has not given a specific date yet.

What is changing? The patch mainly includes bug fixes. However, Massive also talked about other changes planned for the future.

division 2 agents 2

Patch 2.1 fixes the bench and the reviver skill

These bugs will be fixed:

  • The bench should now be able to upgrade to World Tier 5
  • The reviver skill should now work properly
  • Characters should no longer get stuck in certain places. If it does happen, you should report it to Ubisoft.
  • The 2-set bonus of the true patriot should now function properly. Until now, armor damage was useless in PvE.

For now, these are all the fixed changes included in Patch 2.1.

Today, on 11.4., there was maintenance with some fixes.

division-highend

Massive also addressed several other topics that are currently concerning the community:

About criticism of skill builds and skill power: In a future update, blue blueprints for skill mods will be available. Additionally, the effects of the mods are to be strengthened to justify the investment in skill power and make skills more powerful.

About the problem that health points and armor currently have little impact: They know that these values are not currently performing well.

This is a complicated problem and requires some work. However, they want to improve it in the future and strengthen defensive rolls.

They also plan adjustments to the talents, and they want to adjust the time-to-kill of players at higher difficulty levels.

In connection with the defensive rolls and improved skill mods, they hope to make both playstyles more attractive.

Further plans for future updates:

  • They know that the NPC Henry Haves is unavailable for some players. The issue is still being worked on.
  • A fix for the animation bug related to the T-poses of dead NPCs is in progress
  • Drops that are lower than your gear score are intended. However, they will look at fan feedback.
  • The feedback about underpowered gear sets has been received, but no hasty changes will be made. They want to give players time to experiment before taking action.
  • The criticism of exotic weapons has also been reached by the developers. They want to gather more feedback on this.
division 2 black tusk
  • The too aggressive AI is a top priority but is not expected to be fixed with Patch 2.1
  • In general, they will work on the PTS on difficulty levels and test several balance changes, especially NPC enemies on higher difficulty levels are in focus.
  • The PvP balance is also a topic they will test on the PTS
  • Blueprints are expected to be available across characters soon
