Fallout 76 Personality Quiz: Which mythical monster are you?

Fallout 76 is full of monsters, some more and others less dangerous. A few of these creatures are mythical beings, partly inspired by legends and tales from the real world. Which of these mythical monsters are you?

Which monsters are we talking about? These legendary monsters are beings that can be better described as phenomena. In real life, they are sightings by people who claim to have noticed something supernatural.

Often, these sightings coincide independently, leading to legends about mythical beings. These beings, whose existence is mostly scientifically doubted, are called cryptids. These are monsters like:

  • Bigfoot
  • Wendigos
  • Vampires
  • Werewolves
Conan Exiles Screenshot Jhebbal Sags Champion
Mythical monsters are also found in games like Conan Exiles.

In Fallout 76, Bethesda has taken inspiration from some of these cryptids. Since the Fallout series is known for its crazy monsters, these fit well into the universe. Their existence is often justified, as is the case with most monsters in Fallout, by radioactive radiation and mutation.

Since Fallout 76 takes place in Appalachia in West Virginia, Bethesda has mainly focused on cryptids whose legends originated in West Virginia. In this process, so many details have been incorporated that the whole state is flipping out.

Test: Which cryptid are you?

After the latest patch introduced an event with the new super boss Sheepsquatch in Fallout 76, we now offer you the opportunity to find out which mythical monster you would actually be in Appalachia.

Just answer the questions we pose to you here. If you want to retake the test, simply refresh the page and start over. Keep in mind that your first answer counts. You cannot change your mind during a run.

What is your result? As which monster do you make the lives of the residents of Vault 76 difficult?

In a previous test, we already asked you which of the factions of Fallout 76 you would belong to.

That’s why no one likes the new dungeon event in the MMORPG Blade & Soul

In Blade & Soul, there is currently an event where three event dungeons can be played. In these dungeons, players can earn new rewards. However, unfortunately, the dungeons are not very well received.

What does the new event include? In the event “Return of the Legends,” you can play three dungeons:

  • Ring of Revenge
  • Abandoned Tomb
  • Burning Tomb

As part of the event, among other things, players can work on earning two temporary weapons and various event items. “Emblems of Return” are required as the new currency.

Blade and Soul Summoner 2

Why is the event not well received by players? Many players criticize the event for the fourth level of the Ring of Revenge being far too difficult.

A very high damage output is required to complete the level before the enrage timer runs out. Only those who manage to complete the level can compete with a pig and earn the Emblems of Return.

However, the damage must be so high that players who complete the dungeon can do nothing with the event items. Their equipment is already far better than the rewards earned.

Blade and Soul Nachtklinge 1

Much criticism for the new dungeons

If you currently browse the forums of Blade & Soul, you will find many threads about the new event. Particularly, player NorbertTheOpinionated has engaged in very intensive discussion on the topic in his post.

How much damage do you need to deal? In his critique, he calculates exactly how much damage is needed for the dungeon for both developers and players.

At level 3, the Holy Longgui has 7,100,000 health points. To defeat him, you have one minute, so you need about 118,334 damage per second.

At level 4, the Holy Longgui has 236,000,000 health points. The time until the enrage timer is three minutes, which equates to approximately 1,311,112 damage per second.

Blade and Soul Klingentänzer Lyn 3

What rewards can you get? Among the best rewards of the event are the Weapon Chest of the Transient Flame, which is only usable for one day, and Bagua Chests of the Heavenly Emperor at levels 1 to 3.

Here too, NorbertTheOpinionated complains that, in his view, players who deal 1.3 million damage per second have no need for this equipment, as they already possess this or even better gear.

However, players who would be interested in the items cannot obtain them because the contents are too difficult and are primarily a pure DPS check.

Is the event a diabolical masterpiece? In the end, the player even goes so far as to claim that NCSoft has created a diabolical masterpiece with the event.

They present every player with a carrot, forcing them to upgrade their equipment. Since the event is only for a short time, one may have to invest real money to quickly obtain better values.

He describes the Return of the Legends as an event for whales, disguised as an event for all players.

Whales are players who invest a lot of money in a game.

Blade and Soul Mushin Tower Level 4

Other new features also cause bad vibes

One day after the patch was released, NCSoft announced another new feature that is not well received by players. There will soon be another server merger.

When will the servers be merged? On April 24th, the now third server merger for Blade & Soul will take place.

The remaining two American servers will be merged into the server Yura.

The three European players will all gather on Jinsoyun. Previously, there were separate servers for German and French players. In the future, everyone will play together on one server, which raises concerns about language discussions for many.

New engine in Asia: While there is a lot of criticism for Blade & Soul here, NCSoft is implementing a new engine and many small changes in the Korean version .

However, Blade & Soul has also lost revenue in Korea over the past year:

Insanity! This player has all Shinies and Lucky Pokémon in Pokémon GO

A Finnish player has once again reached a crazy goal in Pokémon GO! He now owns all the Shinies that exist and also has a Lucky Pokémon of each kind!

What did the player achieve? The Finnish player HelsinkiTrolli is once again exciting the player community. He has a PokéDex consisting of:

  • All Shinies that exist in the game
  • Lucky Pokémon of every type
  • All Pokémon in both genders
  • All Incognito letters

Who is the player? We already spoke with HelsinkiTrolli in January. At that time, he already had every possible Shiny that exists in Pokémon GO in his PokéDex.

The Finn is among the players with the most experience points in the game. He was the first player in Finland to reach level 40 and currently has over 420 million XP.

This is what HelsinkiTrolli has now achieved

This was his goal: For the Finnish player, it was the ultimate goal to fill his PokéDex with all Lucky Pokémon and Shinies. He has now achieved this after many trades.

Whether he is the first player in the world to do so is not known. Nevertheless, it is an enormous goal that HelsinkiTrolli achieved.

This was the hardest part: We asked the player what was the hardest part of the challenge for him. He said that the legendary Lucky Pokémon were the hardest to obtain.

You can only trade one legendary Pokémon per day, and his trading partners often wanted a legendary Pokémon back as well. This makes things harder since trading older Pokémon would make a Lucky trade more likely.

This was his last Pokémon: With the introduction of Lucky Friends, HelsinkiTrolli finally achieved his goal, as his first Lucky Friend gave him his last missing Lucky Pokémon: Latios.

For this, he had previously given away 3 Pokémon from 2016 that were already at maximum level.

This is what his Shiny collection looked like in January.

These Pokémon were a challenge: HelsinkiTrolli also tells us that it is difficult to get all Incognito. For the ?-Incognito, he traveled over 400 kilometers to trade for it.

Almost as hard was it to get the regional Pokémon. He talks about a player on the Canary Islands who came from Russia and traded him numerous Pachirisu.

How did he manage that? He emphasized that he could only achieve this challenge with his community in Helsinki. They always helped to obtain Lucky Pokémon.

Otherwise, the Finn simply played a lot. He caught over 488,000 Pokémon and traded over 6,500 Pokémon.

However, one player has traded significantly more:

Bug makes class in Destiny 2 overpowered – Bungie says “Enjoy it”

The last update for Destiny 2 introduced a bug that allows Arcstriders to deal much more damage than they should. Bungie says: Enjoy it while it lasts!

What is it about? Currently, the Arc Week is taking place, focusing on the Arc subclasses in Destiny 2. Additionally, Arc Supers are active, increasing this type of damage from all sources.

Bungie has also made adjustments with the last update primarily to the Arc subclasses of the Guardians. The Arc abilities of Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters have been buffed across the board.

However, a bug has slipped in, causing one Hunter subclass to unintentionally deal too much damage.

destiny-2-arkusakrobat
So, is he currently dealing abnormally high damage?

Bug makes class too strong: Especially the Arcstrider Hunters have benefited from the last update: The combo strike “Way of the Warrior” can now be stacked up to three times. The buff increases melee damage in PvE by 60% per stack instead of 50% as before.

This damage buff can unintentionally transfer to the Hunter’s Super. If the Guardians also use the exotic chest piece Raiden Flux, they become unstoppable: The armor perk Synaptic Connections ensures that fast consecutive attacks with the Arc Staff increase damage effect and duration.

Raiden Flux is also usable in the new PvE mode Reckoning.

A description of the bug can be found in this video by xHOUNDISHx:

This causes Arcstriders to melt bosses in every activity in seconds.

This is what Bungie says: On the Destiny subreddit, Guardians have already pointed out the abnormal high damage. Community Manager Cozmo stated that this was not an intentional change and the developers will look into it. In the meantime, players should enjoy the “spicy” Arcstrider.

Moreover, the bug was also mentioned in the last “This Week at Bungie” blog. The developers are examining the bug, which is possible due to the combination of certain perks. Until the issue is fixed, it might be that Guardians witness how bosses in Gambit or other activities are stomped into the ground by Hunters and their Arc Staff.

Have the Arc Warlocks been nerfed?

These are the strongest new decks in Hearthstone and here’s how to counter them

The strongest decks in Hearthstone are hardly unbeatable. We reveal to you how you can still succeed with a counter.

Currently, most Hearthstone players are still in the experimentation phase, which is completely normal after the release of a new addon. After all, there are 135 new cards in “Conspiracy of Shadows.”

However, many players have already settled on one or two decks that you encounter repeatedly in standard play. A form of control warrior and a pirate rogue are currently particularly popular.

These are two of the strongest decks in Hearthstone right now:

  • The pirate rogue brings back an old favorite: pirates with charge. With the Waggelpick, the rogue can return the charge minions back to hand and allow them to attack again at a discount.
  • The control warrior, on the other hand, relies on the archivist Elysiana to prolong the game. Coupled with numerous defensive abilities, armor, and spotters, battles are very long and often extend into fatigue, where the warrior wins purely through endurance.

If you want to join the hype surrounding these two decks, you can find their codes here. You can copy these codes into the clipboard and then paste them into Hearthstone. The game will automatically assemble the corresponding decks for you.

Code for the Control Warrior: AAECAQcGkAeS+AKO+wKggAP4hgOGnQMMS6IE/wf7DJvzAvT1AoP7Ap77ArP8ApWUA9KYA5KfAwA=

Code for the Pirate Rogue: AAECAaIHBLICyAOvBOf6Ag20AcsDzQPUBe4GiAfdCIYJpu8C+v4C1YwDj5cDiZsDAA==

These two decks dominate at almost all ranks and make climbing difficult if you are not playing them yourself. However, if you don’t feel like playing these two decks and are looking for solid counters or alternatives, we will help you.

The Control Mage with Powerful Dragons

Slowly but surely, this deck from Apxvoid is gaining popularity. It proves to be particularly solid against the aforementioned warrior and steadily overwhelms it with increasingly powerful dragons.

In addition, cards like Khadgar, in conjunction with Creation Power, the Astromancer, or Call of the Summoner bring so many minions to the board that the opponent must quickly throw in the towel. However, do not play all your trump cards at once, as warriors still have skirmishes, which can break many a player’s neck.

Thanks to Zilliax and some copies of Rotten Apple Tree, the mage should also have enough self-healing to survive initial attacks and ultimately establish enough dominance with a multitude of powerful minions.

Code for the Control Mage: AAECAf0ECPsGkAfF8wKggAPsiQPAmAOWmgOKngMLigfhB40Izu8CifECw/gC6IkD6JQD55UDg5YDoJsDAA==

Deathrattle Hunter with Many Spells

Also solid against the prevailing decks and thus on the rise is the Deathrattle Hunter. With various buff cards and a plethora of interactions between the individual deathrattle effects, this version of the hunter can quickly flood the board. At the same time, it can often trigger the deathrattle of its minions without the corresponding minions needing to die.

Combined with many spells, which are triggered once again by the hero card Zul’jin, the hunter can secure its position on the board.

This is what DrDisrespect says about the new Fortnite skin that looks a lot like him

Fortnite has released a variation of a skin that looks very similar to the popular streamer DrDisrespect. The streamer looks similar to this.

This is the new skin: In November, Fortnite released the Counter-Attack skin. It came along with a glider and a pickaxe. The skin was available for a short time if you bought a graphics card from Nvidia.

Now the skin was available in the Fortnite shop due to a glitch. Those who got it back then with the Nvidia bundle now receive a new version of the skin. Instead of wearing a green vest, the character wears a red vest. Also, there’s a headset on the head.

This is what DrDisrespect says about the skin: The streamer writes on Twitter:

“Fortnite is really preparing me for duos with Tfue.

Impressive … but I could sue them. For a lot of money”

Players want new content in Anthem, but there are so many issues

Recently, a livestream was announced for Anthem that aims to showcase the upcoming Stronghold. The community is divided: while some are excited about new content, others insist that the major issues need to be resolved first.

New content is coming: BioWare recently made a comeback after a quieter period with the announcement of the next livestream. Next week, the new Stronghold is set to be presented, which is expected to be released later in April.

In the livestream, the Lead Producer of Anthem, Ben Irving, will discuss the Stronghold “The Sunken Cell” along with a special guest.

You can read about what else is coming in April in our article on the roadmap.

However, there is a strange mood among the players. They are unsure whether BioWare should focus on new content or prioritize fixing more bugs first.

Anthem will introduce the new Stronghold “The Sunken”.

Should we be excited about new content when there are still so many problems?

Players want new content: Many players are excited about the announcement of new content. Some freelancers claim to have set the game aside due to a lack of things to do.

The statement that there is a plethora of endgame content in Anthem was the most popular joke post in the Anthem subreddit on April 1 with over 6,400 upvotes.

There is hope for bug fixes: Other freelancers hope that BioWare will address the issues first before adding new content to the game. Under an announcement post for the stream, players express that BioWare should focus on the worst bugs first, rather than on a new Stronghold.

As the user Ventrical in the Anthem subreddit states: “You wouldn’t lay new floors and carpets in a house with a leaky roof, right? Even if two different teams are working on that job, the roof should be repaired first, otherwise the rain will ruin all the work.”

Players want more information: Players wish for BioWare’s communication policy from before the launch to return. Back then, many developers were active on Reddit and social media, discussing Anthem with players.

Others suggest a regular blog like the “State of the Game” from The Division or “This Week at Bungie” for Destiny 2.

However, during the development of Anthem, mentioning Destiny was allegedly a taboo:

It takes this long until you can fly in WoW Patch 8.2

Blizzard has released new details about flying in Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft. We will tell you what you need for flying.

One of the most anticipated features of Patch 8.2 in World of Warcraft is flying. So far, it has not been possible to take off in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, but that will change soon. With the next update, flying will also be possible in the areas of Battle for Azeroth.

This is how long it takes to unlock: Even though there are no fixed numbers, Blizzard has already revealed that unlocking flying will take about three weeks for “average players.” What exactly defines an average player is open to debate. However, those who are diligent in following the story in Nazjatar and completing at least a handful of world quests or other activities in Nazjatar and Mechagon each day probably won’t have to wait long for flying.

What needs to be done for flying? The requirements for flying in Battle for Azeroth are similar to previous expansions. You must achieve at least a respectful reputation with the new factions of Patch 8.2. The factions are:

  • Rustbolt Resistance (Mechagon)
  • Ankoan (Nazjatar)
  • Unshackled (Nazjatar)

You unlock reputation as usual through quests and world quests that are intended to offer more variety. In Mechagon, you can also exchange scrap parts for reputation, which you can find throughout Mechagon.

It visually resembles the small parrot you got as a pet when you helped this couple achieve a happy future.

The special thing is that flying is also immediately applicable to the new areas of Nazjatar and Mechagon. There are no restrictions, and players can take to the skies in all zones of Battle for Azeroth.

After the last patch, there is a big topic in The Division 2: The Balance

It is an eternal topic in loot shooters, but with The Division 2 it has flared up again after the latest Title Patch 2.0. Should weak gear be buffed or strong items nerfed? This is what players are currently concerned about.

Why is there a discussion about balance? The last major patch brought some nerfs and other balancing changes. Many fans were not entirely happy with this. Instead, they demanded that weaker items simply be buffed.

On the other hand, there is another part of the players who find a balanced balance more important than just making everything stronger.

Nerfs are also necessary to regulate overpowered gear. It is an eternal point of contention surrounding loot-based games.

Buff or nerf? The eternal question

These nerfs are the source of the newly ignited discussion: With Title Update 2.0, two of the most popular weapons, the Mk17 rifle and the Model 700 sniper rifle, were weakened.

They were by far the strongest weapons in their respective categories, so Massive wanted to reduce that gap. They are still strong compared to the rest, but no longer as powerful as before.

This made many players angry. They would have preferred to see the other weapons in their respective categories adjusted. Instead of a nerf, a buff should have been applied.

That’s why this topic has been discussed for a long time: The Division 1 has a special history with the topic of balancing. In 3 years, the game underwent several profound changes that altered the gameplay experience on many levels.

Nerfs and buffs, which were sometimes received positively and sometimes negatively, were commonplace. However, there was significant resistance to nerfs for certain strong weapons and gear sets like the secret striker.

Players enjoyed their powerful builds and didn’t want to lose them. Instead, Massive should have tuned and strengthened the weaker equipment.

New Offshoot, Same Path?

This is what some players are criticizing now: In the subreddit of The Division 2 there are a variety of posts that basically all share the same concern. Developer Massive should refrain from nerfs and instead buff what is weaker.

This is being demanded for various things. For example, User Audenfred is concerned that the talents of high-end equipment could be diminished to make gear sets more valuable. According to many fans they are too weak.

This he derives from some statements by the developers regarding the upcoming patch 2.1 and the changes thereafter.

User AlphaSyncz is also calling for:

Massive, PLEASE PLEASE do not nerf the talents. Rather buff the weaker options to provide more variety and make our current grind feel worthwhile.

Source: Reddit

His post has over 1,400 upvotes (as of April 12, 1:56 PM). In hundreds of comments, many like-minded individuals agree and criticize that nowadays almost only the nerf hammer is swung when certain gear performs well.

Others believe that completely forgoing nerfs would be a mistake. Like user potaten64, who writes:

One must do both, but balancing and buffing every weapon just because one overperforms is not feasible and only leads to constant power creep.

The problem is that they [Massive] are overly cautious with their buffs. The things they have buffed are mostly still not good.

Source: Reddit

However, most agree: Currently, in The Division 2, some buffs should be implemented rather than weakening equipment.

The Division is currently showing its best side, but it could become VERY stale and boring very quickly if all the developer studio wants to do is nerf, nerf, nerf (this applies to all studios, not just Massive).

Some even go so far as to call for nerfs to be completely omitted. What works and is strong should remain as is. Everything else should simply be upgraded.

Is Fallout 76 currently building an entire city underground?

With the next patch of Fallout 76, an area underground in Appalachia will become accessible. A new “Out of the Vault” from Bethesda gives a small insight. Apparently, there is a kind of town awaiting you there.

What kind of town is it? With the latest “Out of the Vault”, Bethesda has introduced the upcoming underground dungeon “The Caves”. “The Caves” are a branching dungeon just below Harper’s Ferry.

Originally, the cave system was created for the drainage of Harpers Ferry. However, after the war broke out, people sought refuge down there from the new dangers created by the bombs.

From the drainage system emerged a “welcoming community”. Before the opening of Vault 76, some members of the Steel Brotherhood were sent into the caves because strange signals were coming from there.

The members did not return, and now dangers are suspected down there. It almost sounds like “The Caves” are a kind of Underworld (Fallout 3), where ghouls dwell. Only that the ghouls are no longer very welcoming.

What will I find in the town? There are no specific statements yet about what you can find in the caves. However, it is said that there should be “plenty of loot” to gather.

“The Caves” are designed for players level 50 and up and are said to be so dangerous that at least two players should tackle them together. However, Bethesda indicated that well-equipped players can also master the co-op dungeon alone.

How to enter the dungeon: According to the report, there are two entrances to the new dungeon:

  • a manhole cover near the armory
  • a manhole cover at Highway 65

When you enter the dungeon, you will receive the quest “Waste Disposal”. While this can only be completed once, the dungeon itself is repeatable.

“The Caves” are to be made accessible with the patch on April 16, 2019.

This is what fans say about the dungeon: So far, there have been few reactions to the caves. However, players are very positive that the dungeon is suitable for both co-op gameplay and solo players:

These are great news! I am so glad that the dungeon can be played in co-op and also attempted alone. I was afraid that four players would be needed.

GoddessDespeona on reddit.

Raids for four players will come in the future in the form of various vaults that can be tackled by player groups. Challenges for even more players are offered by events like the new boss, the Sheepsquatch. This approach is generally well received.

The Sheepsquatch is currently causing exciting battles.

However, players are talking more in the corresponding reddit thread about the upcoming in-game camera. This is supposed to come as a modifiable item, as a kind of “weapon” to enable instant snapshots.

What do you think of “The Caves”?

Fallout 76 will soon receive even more content and raids:

Server Down at The Division 2 today – When can you play again?

In the online shooter The Division 2, an emergency maintenance is taking place on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on April 12th. The servers will be offline from 1:30 PM to possibly 2:00 PM. What are they fixing there and when can we play The Division 2 again?

When does the emergency maintenance start? The maintenance begins on April 12th at 1:30 PM. The maintenance was announced about 30 minutes earlier on Twitter.

When can we play The Division 2 again? The servers for The Division 2 should be back online around 2:00 PM our time. We will keep you updated if there are last-minute changes to the maintenance plans for The Division 2.

Such emergency maintenance can sometimes be hard to gauge in terms of timing. The last time the maintenance only lasted about 3 minutes before it was aborted. However, it can also be the case that a server downtime extends over a longer period if the issues are more persistent than expected.

This is why the servers are going offline: There are problems with a specific ability of the specialization “Destruction Specialist“. Massive apparently wants to fix it.

It’s about the buff “Tactical Link” that ensures that group members deal 5% more damage to targets that are not in cover.

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

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.

destiny-2-warlock-super

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.

destiny-2-arkusakrobat

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

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.

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.

You can watch gameplay of the new class here:

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

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.

One of the lines states: “yielded to the <Sarcasm> POWER 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

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.
