In Destiny 2 the new Update 2.2.0.1 is being rolled out today, on March 12th. It fixes a few issues that came with Season 6.
Bungie has announced a fresh update for the MMO shooter Destiny 2. It will go live in the late afternoon and will be accompanied by server downtime.
These are the important times today, on March 12th:
At 4 PM, maintenance will start. Some features of the Companion app will no longer be available.
At 5 PM, Update 2.2.0.1 will be made available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in all regions. Update: The hotfix is now live. It is around 29 MB and will be downloaded during login.
At 5:45 PM players still in activities will be returned to the login screen.
By 6 PM the servers should be back online.
At 7 PM, the maintenance is expected to be completed. The companion services will be reactivated.
According to Bungie, server downtime is expected. As they just tweeted, it will last from 5:45 PM to 6 PM.
A problem has been fixed where weekly bounties were reset on Sundays instead of with the Weekly Reset on Tuesdays. We reported on the reset issue, which has now been quickly fixed.
A problem has been fixed where the quests from “Misdeeds” and “Broken Neck” in Gambit and Gambit-Prime were not progressing as expected.
In Reckoning, “Prisma” has been removed as a possible modifier due to an issue. A future update will bring the modifier back, but in turn will remove “Glass” from the rotation.
The Misdeed
A problem has been fixed where the “The Best Attack” triumph, which grants you Oxygen SG3, was not counting the correct number of Light Spheres created in Strikes.
A problem has been fixed where some Primordials disappeared in Gambit-Prime.
A problem has been fixed where blockers did not appear in “Kell’s Grave” and “Cathedral of Sorrow”. Bungie will activate these maps again once the issue is resolved.
A problem has been fixed where some Gambit quests and bounties were not progressing correctly.
A problem has been fixed where it was mistakenly announced in Gambit that players’ particles were lost when they were defeated by an opposing invader.
Additionally, a future update, in hotfix 2.2.0.2, will fix an issue with powerful rewards. Currently, they allow for lower level increases than expected. Normally, the progress should slow down starting from 690, but currently, the slow progress is active from 650.
As soon as more patch notes are available, we will add them here.
Starting this evening, you can hunt for the Thorn. The quest steps are already known:
In The Division 2, character creation is significantly more extensive than in the first part. However, agents miss some features.
These features are missed in the character editor: Shortly after the early access launch of The Division 2, one of the top posts in the Division Reddit is a complaint post by a young man. He complains that he feels discriminated against as a bald man.
The character editor does not allow agents to be bald. You can only choose a buzz cut – that is, a very short hairstyle. However, this buzz cut is not the same as being bald, emphasizes the user.
It can’t get any shorter than this
In the comments, most agents respond with humor. One jokes that a bald head would greatly affect gameplay. Because bald agents would have speed advantages, as the lack of hair provides no wind resistance. As a bald man, he knows this to be true.
Others write that they have been bald for years and now face an almost insurmountable decision about which hairstyle to give their agent. The disappointment is immense! Words like “discrimination” and “unplayable” appear in the comments – most certainly written with irony.
Nevertheless, another important feature is still missing, which men must do without: the three-day beard. In addition to the full beard and the mustache, there are six other beard styles, but no three-day beard.
Character Editor – How to create and customize your agent
When you start with The Division 2, the game begins directly with character creation. First, choose whether you want an agent or an agent (this is determined by “Switch Body Type”) – and then you have numerous customization options.
The customization options for the character are:
Appearance: Here you can choose between 12 head shapes, customize the face, adjust skin, eye, and hair color, and adjust hair and beard
Special features: Here you can select scars, facial paint, and tattoos on the neck, arms, and legs
Outfits: Additionally, you can choose a headgear, glasses, a shirt, pants, shoes, and a “patch.”
Agent with facial paint
Especially in tattoos, hair colors, and facial paint, there is quite a lot of choice. However, one is limited in hairstyles and beards.
How to optimize the face: You can extensively customize your agent’s face. Here the game gives you many options for adjustments:
Brow height
Brow depth
Eye line
Eye spacing
Nose width
Nose height
Nose root
Mouth height
Cheeks
Chin line
Ear spacing
Ear size
You can watch all customization options for male and female agents in this video by Arekkz Gaming:

How was it in The Division 1? Character customization in The Division 1 was significantly more limited. You only had 8 face shapes and 5 hairstyles to choose from. Only with tattoos, paint jobs, and piercings could you get a bit creative.
In The Division 2, the character editor is significantly more extensive.
Although the streamer Dr DisRespect Apex Legends is celebrating, he says there is a major downside. PUBG, Fortnite, and H1Z1 would do it better.
What does Dr DisRespect say? In one of his streams, he explains that while Apex Legends is a lot of fun to play, it is boring for the viewer. Other games in the same genre do this much better and entertain the viewers more.

This is what makes Fortnite and Co. better: In the stream, he says that the gameplay of Apex Legends is not exciting. “In my opinion, it’s more exciting to watch Battlegrounds.” He continues that Fortnite and H1Z1 are also more interesting for the viewer.
This game has the same problems: DisRespect then draws an interesting comparison between Apex Legends and a popular title from Blizzard.
It’s a bit like Overwatch. You know, Overwatch is really fun to play, you get hooked quickly. But it’s just terrible to watch.
What position does Apex Legends have on Twitch? The viewer numbers on TwitchTV show that there is a lot of interest in the Apex Legends streams. Many streamers are currently playing this battle royale shooter as their main game, including Dr DisRespect.
Fortnite was at the top of TwitchTV for months, but was surpassed by Apex Legends in February. Now, Fortnite has fought its way back to the top. This might have to do with Dexerto saying that Fortnite has a new season with new content like treasure maps, while everyone is still waiting for the start of Season 1 in Apex Legends.
The ranking of the most popular Twitch games could change with Season 1 of Apex Legends returning the shooter from Respawn to number 1.
Another issue bothering professional streamer Shroud:
The most famous Paladin from World of Warcraft has struck again. Rextroy has released a new video, and this time it’s about the battle between Alliance and Horde… more or less.
This is how the battle went: A new video from Rextroy shows a battle between 40 shamans and 40 paladins in one of the oldest and most famous battlefields of WoW, Alterac Valley. The two full raids clash and fight each other.
At the beginning, there is not much to see from the Paladins’ perspective except for a huge storm of chain lightning and a forest of totems. The whole encounter looks more like a light show of holy rays and elemental lightning.
For about 15 minutes, the two groups fought until the Alliance’s reinforcements (visible at the top of the screen under “Reinforcements”) ran out and the Horde won. Most of the battle took place in the “Zerg” in the middle of the map.

This is how the shamans won: As seen in the info screen at the end, most shamans killed significantly more paladins than vice versa. In Alterac Valley, both factions start with 700 reinforcements, which decrease through player deaths and other mechanics.
If the reinforcements drop to 0, the corresponding faction loses. However, the shamans apparently cheated a bit. As Rextroy writes under his video, there was an agreement that dead players would not release their spirits and rejoin the fight.
The paladins apparently took this agreement more seriously. More players on their side adhered to it, while the shamans eagerly released their spirits. Whether this was really the deciding factor cannot be said; it is merely an observation.
The top players of the round are all shamans.
Who is Rextroy? In the WoW community, Rextroy is well known for consistently creating absurd or funny scenes:
This is why the video: Rextroy himself describes the battle as a “reboot of the class struggle from Classic.” By this, he probably means a video that circulated many years ago, showing how 40 shamans and 40 paladins met in the open field.

The recordings were particularly interesting back then because in Classic only the Horde could choose shamans, and paladins were exclusive to the Alliance.
Fortnite is now giving you the chance to get a personal highlight video of Season 7. Here you can see how you performed in the past season.
These are the videos: In the previous seasons, Epic has compiled small highlights of you. For this season, you will receive numerous statistics that you’ve earned, along with some cool video sequences that underline the whole experience.

For a mod to Dota 2, you would expect that mainly Dota players would be excited about it. But currently, more and more Hearthstone streamers are playing Auto Chess. The reason for this is the fast updates that are painfully missed in the card game.
Which streamers play Dota 2 Auto Chess? Looking at the list of top English Hearthstone streamers of the last 365 days, measured by watch time, you will come across names like:
DisguisedToast
Dog
Asmodai
Amaz
Savjz
and Kolento
All six streamers currently play Auto Chess as a side activity or even exclusively. But other well-known Hearthstone names like Hafu, Trump, or Firebat have also recently dabbled with the mod.
This connects Hearthstone and Auto Chess
The two games Hearthstone and Auto Chess are very different in structure. However, they share the strategic approach and a well-functioning ranking system. This probably also adds to the appeal for many Hearthstone streamers.
Auto Chess comparable to Arena: In each round, you are presented with figures in Auto Chess from which you can choose.
Similar to the Arena in Hearthstone, you have to make the best out of what you are randomly offered.
Positioning plays a big role: In Hearthstone, good players pay attention to how they play their creatures. Against certain classes, specific positioning is useful to weaken the mage’s meteor, for example.
Positioning plays an even greater role in Auto Chess. Since the figures attack their opponents or even jump to the other side of the board, they must be positioned accordingly.
What Makes Auto Chess Better Than Hearthstone
Problems with Hearthstone: Many of the initially mentioned streamers have been dissatisfied with Hearthstone recently. The reason for this is a relatively rigid meta and few innovations. Even Blizzard has noticed that their card game is currently struggling with problems.
For many streamers, a new game comes in handy, especially if it addresses issues that Blizzard is responding to too slowly.
Regular updates: Since the release on January 4, there have already been over 60 updates. Although many of them were mainly bug fixes, several useful features were also added.
Useful changes include, for example, improved display options, better statistics for the game figures, and even some new figures.
Additionally, many languages are now supported, including German, French, and Russian.
Good balance and quick adjustments: Many streamers praise the balance in Auto Chess. Regularly, smaller adjustments are made there.
Amaz particularly emphasized in a livestream that, unlike Blizzard, all weak figures receive regular buffs to be useful.
According to Amaz, Blizzard nerfs strong cards far too often instead of improving weak ones.
Streamers in Action at Twitch Rivals
If you want to see some of the mentioned streamers live in action, you can tune in to Twitch Rivals tomorrow and the day after.
What are the Twitch Rivals? At the Twitch Rivals, well-known streamers are invited to compete in a tournament against each other. These duels take place in many different games, including Hearthstone.
In the duel in Auto Chess, a total of 32 streamers compete against each other for a prize pool of $25,000. The participants have since been announced via Twitter:
When do the Twitch Rivals take place? On March 13 and 14, the streamers will duel live on Twitch. The EU duels start at 5:00 PM our time, the American games at 9:00 PM.

With Diablo Immortal, Blizzard brings the first Diablo title to smartphones. This has caused quite a stir. We want to know from you whether you will play the mobile ARPG.
What is Diablo Immortal? Diablo is a popular RPG experience that has captivated fans for years.

This is the controversy surrounding Diablo Immortal: Upon announcement, Diablo Immortal was not well received by fans. They are eagerly waiting for a new installment in the Diablo series, but had no desire for a mobile game at first.
The core of Diablo fans consists of PC gamers. Many do not want to transition to mobile, associating it with lower quality and cash shops.
The frustration was also related to the timing of the announcement. At BlizzCon 2018, fans eagerly awaited news about Diablo 4. Instead, there was no information provided. Instead, the Diablo panel fully focused on the mobile game Diablo Immortal.
During a Q&A session, an audience member asked whether Diablo Immortal would also be released on PC. The developers stated that a PC version was not in the works, garnering boos from the crowd. That the Blizzard employees then also asked “Don’t you have phones?” quickly became a running gag.

Why it could still be cool: Diablo Immortal is supposed to bring fresh ideas and not rely on features like “Autoplay.” This is a core feature of many Asian RPGs, where characters automatically run while the player does not need to control them.
Developer NetEase has been a partner of Blizzard for 10 years and is not a “typical Asian developer.”
Moreover, Blizzard wants to focus more on mobile games. They will likely not implement this title half-heartedly, as this step with Diablo Immortal is very important for the company. We have explained to you the reasons why this game may turn out better than expected:
Our survey for you: We already asked you in November 2018 whether you would play Diablo Immortal. At that time, the announcement was still fresh, and opinions were heated. Now some time has passed, and some have changed their minds or at least want to give the game a chance. What about you?
Here should now appear a survey. If you can’t see it, just write your answer and reasoning in the comments.
Vote there for your answer and let us know in the comments how you feel about the game and what your reasons for or against Diablo Immortal are.
When Diablo Immortal is released is still unclear. There is hope for a release in 2019. The development looks promising:
Currently, there are four curated weapons available through the new Gambit Prime mode in Destiny 2. However, not many people know exactly what to do to obtain these coveted masterpiece firearms. We clarify.
In addition to new specific armor sets, Gambit Prime introduced 10 new legendary weapons to the game. Four of these are available as what are called Curated Rolls, meaning they are curated versions that can be obtained directly through the Gambit Prime mode.
What are curated weapons? These are special versions of regular weapons. Curated firearms come with fixed, predefined perk sets and are already at Masterwork level 10 with certain stats.
Some of these feature very sought-after perk combinations that can only be obtained with a lot of luck or through lengthy grinding.
How to Get Curated Weapons in Gambit Prime – Here’s What You Need to Do
These are the 4 weapons in question: While there is a curated version for all 10 new Gambit Prime-style weapons, only four of them can be securely obtained through the Gambit Prime mode itself. These are
the submachine gun “Survival Kit”
the sniper rifle “Only Survivor”
the hand cannon “Ration”
and the shotgun “Only One Stands”
Other curated weapons from the Gambit Prime arsenal, such as the scout rifle “Night Watch,” drop in tier 2 of the “Reckoning” mode. For others, no sources are known yet. It is therefore likely that more weapons with Curated Rolls will be added over time.
What do you need to do? Clever players have discovered a system by which these weapons can drop. To achieve this, you need to perform specific actions in Gambit Prime that will reward you with a specific item, known as a Synth.
Each of the different Synth types is tied to one of the total four roles of Gambit Prime and requires specific actions to drop. In each match, you only have the chance to receive one of these special Synths, depending on the role you take on and which task you complete first.
Keep in mind: If you complete a task and receive a specific Synth, you will not receive any other Synths in the ongoing match. So focus on just one task while farming and avoid deliberately completing other tasks “on the side.”
Because when one of the Synths drops for you, you also have the chance for the corresponding Curated Roll – and only for that one. If no curated weapon drops when you receive the Synth, luck was not on your side, and you need to try again in the next match.
By the way: The following methods are likely not the only ways to obtain these weapons. Some players report having apparently obtained them in other ways as well. However, this system is considered proven and has already been confirmed by numerous Guardians.
Submachine Gun “Survival Kit”: This weapon is tied to the Reaper role.
To receive the corresponding Synth, you need to eliminate a high-value target. It is enough to shoot at this opponent. Even if your team finishes the job, this Synth can drop.
When obtaining the Reaper Synth, the curated SMG can also drop for you.
Sniper Rifle “Only Survivor”: This sniper is tied to the Invader role. To receive the corresponding Synth, you need to obtain the “One Man Army” medal.
Specifically, this means you must eliminate all four members of the enemy team while invading. The curated version of the Gambit Prime sniper can also drop.
Hand Cannon “Ration”: For this hand cannon, you must prove yourself as a Collector.
If you want the Collector Synth and the opportunity for Ration, you need to deposit 50 motes during a Gambit Prime match at the bank.
Shotgun “Only One Stands”: For this shotgun, you must take on the role of the Sentinel. To get the Sentinel Synth and a chance for the curated version of the shotgun, you need to eliminate 5 blockers in a Prime match.
Important: You must deliver the killing blow to them. If one of your teammates eliminates the blocker, it does not count towards your progress on the way to the Sentinel Synth.
Are you eagerly waiting for new information about the battle royale mode Firestorm? Or do you generally want to know what is next for Battlefield 5? Then the next 2 weeks should be particularly interesting for you.
What makes the next 2 weeks so exciting: This is what many have been waiting for: As the developers from DICE recently announced on Reddit and Twitter, fans of Battlefield 5 can look forward to numerous exciting announcements and information in the coming two weeks.
What can fans expect? The focus is on the highly anticipated, in-house battle royale mode Firestorm as well as a widely requested roadmap that is supposed to outline the immediate future of Battlefield 5.
The week from March 11 to March 17:
A new cinematic trailer for Firestorm is set to be released on Thursday, March 14, and there will be new firsthand information
Additionally, the release date for the Firestorm mode is expected to be revealed. So far, it is only known that it is planned for sometime in the spring as part of Chapter 3 of the “Tides of War” service
The official Battlefield website is also expected to be updated
The week from March 18 to March 24:
A further Firestorm trailer is set to be released, this time featuring gameplay
Moreover, there will be a plethora of blogs and additional information leading up to the launch of the mode. The release of Firestorm should not take much longer
However, the highlight of the next week is expected to be a detailed roadmap. It is there that the immediate future of Battlefield 5 will be communicated.
The exciting part: According to the words of the community manager from DICE, the new roadmap is supposed to answer a large part of the burning questions from the community.
This was in response to a fan’s question, who inquired about the fate of new factions, weapons, vehicles, maps, and customizations, as well as a roadmap.
These pieces of info about Firestorm have already leaked: Recently, a video tutorial for the Battle Royale from Battlefield 5 surfaced on the internet. This appears to be official video material found on EA’s content servers.
The gameplay showcases various features of Firestorm and provides an in-depth look at the upcoming mode for the first time. For more details and the corresponding video, you can find it here: Leaked video for Battle Royale shows helicopter and epic weapons
Blizzard has released the official patch notes for the upcoming patch 8.1.5 for World of Warcraft. We have reviewed them and highlighted the key points.
Patch 8.1.5 will be released on March 13 on the European servers and it brings some changes. Now that the official homepage has the patch notes in English, we summarize the five most important changes for you.
Allied Races: Kul Tiran and Zandalari Trolls
The feature that many players are looking forward to in patch 8.1.5 is the new allied races. For the Alliance, the humans of Kul Tiras will be playable, and for the Horde, the Zandalari trolls. For both races, you need to meet some requirements:
Exalted reputation with the Proudmoore Admiralty (Alliance) or the Zandalari Empire (Horde)
If you meet the requirements, you will need to play a short scenario. As a reward, you will then gain access to the new races. If you play one of the races without a boost to level 110, you will even receive an exclusive transmog set.
The Story of the War Campaign Continues
For those who want to know what happens after the Battle of Dazar’Alor, the War Campaign continues in patch 8.1.5. The war efforts of both factions will continue and the tension will rise.
A completely new questline for most professions in World of Warcraft is coming. Those who have already reached level 150 in a crafting profession from BfA can visit their teacher in Zuldazar or Boralus with patch 8.1.5.
You will receive quests, at the end of which you can grab some rewards and new recipes. For example, leatherworkers will receive an enhancement for their war drums, and inscriptionists can heal themselves with the blood of the dead. However, jewelcrafters will receive a particularly hefty bonus.

For the dungeons in Battle for Azeroth, one of the possibly most important changes is coming. The changes specifically affect two of the least popular dungeons for Mythic+, King’s Rest and the Shrine of the Storm:
While “Swarming”, some non-boss enemies have been removed from the dungeons
With patch 8.1.5, two new features are making their way into the game. The next season of the Brawler’s Guild is starting and a new raid is opening its gates.
The Brawler’s Guild can be found as usual in Bizmo’s Brawlpub (Alliance) or in the Shlae’gar Arena (Horde). Several ranks await you, where you have to prove your strength in various fights and maybe uncover a secret while doing so.
The new raid, the Crucible of Storms, is also coming with patch 8.1.5, but only later. According to the patch notes, the 2-boss raid will open in mid-April. You can soon look forward to a strange story and special loot, with which you can even kill your friends.
The enemies in the Crucible of Storms

The new online shooter The Division 2 has been playable since Monday for the first time. Our author Schuhmann has already taken a look and explains how the game feels to him.
Even in the beta, I felt like I had spent countless hours with The Division 2 after just a few minutes, even though the game was brand new.
And yesterday my impression was further reinforced: Playing The Division 2 feels like “coming home.”
This is how the finished game differs from the beta:
Right at the beginning, there is a short tutorial with a different starting sequence than in the beta. It explains the “background” of The Division 2, that you follow a distress call and set off for the White House.
The character creation is significantly more extensive than in the first part. The only thing I found a bit strange was that they translated the gender of the character as “Change Body Type.”
I searched for a minute until I could switch from the default female to the male character type.
My hero looks a bit like he just came back from duck hunting.
But you can fine-tune quite a bit. I created a bearded redneck, but removed all neck and arm tattoos – just treated myself to a nice pair of glasses and a beanie.
Otherwise, the actual game starts with the “Storming of the White House,” which you already know from the beta.
I can imagine the developers have revised this area thousands of times to create that strong impression: This is the White House in distress.
You walk across the dirty lawn, past the infamous poisoned fountain, and get a sense of desperation and threat.
White House in The Division 2
This is how I played The Division 2: I completed the first zone last night, that is, I completed the 1st main mission, captured 3 control points, and finished the side missions in the first area.
For that, I tried to choose and test as many different weapons as possible. However, I stuck with a combination of turret and seeker mine skills, which I still know from The Division 1.
It feels good when you’ve cleared such a zone – I’ll get that last control point too.
The firefights are like in the first part, they feel exactly the same: You kill 4, 5 opponents – then the next group comes. I already liked the fighting in the first part, here I feel at home immediately
The machine gun is currently my weapon of choice: kills 4, 5 opponents – takes forever to reload.
The weapons significantly change the way you play, a machine gun makes me act differently than a shotgun – players will quickly find favorite weapons. So far I have mostly liked the classic M4. With submachine guns, I feel more like a street gangster just shooting wildly.
The game is clearly structured, you proceed methodically, gradually recapturing a block – typical Ubisoft format, you save the world piece by piece
Nice here though: After missions the settlement changes, there is a corner for children, a battery storage – the world gets a little better
A play corner for children opens up after one of my missions in the theater settlement.
The turret is controlled completely differently than in the first part, I need to work on that. They have changed something significantly: The turret still looks like in the first part, but now it doesn’t work automatically anymore, evidently manually.
While I felt at Anthem that I was truly having new experiences, I don’t have that with The Division. But that’s not a bad thing.
At the moment, I have the impression that a city is waiting for me to save it with the campaign. And I am evidently already at home in the world of The Division after 5 hours.
I also already had my first Delta error. When I logged in and saw 4000 people in front of me in the queue, I really felt at home.
But times are changing: The queue dwindled within seconds and I had no further errors that evening.
In a livestream, Ninja explains how you can defeat the best players in Fortnite without any cheats. What you need is the crucial weapon and practice with it.
How to defeat the best players? In a stream, the popular streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins recently talked about the most important skills that matter in Fortnite. If you master certain weapons, you should have a good chance of defeating the pros.
“Perfect your sniper skills” Ninja starts his explanation to his fans. “In every game, you want to master every one-shot kill item or weapon.”
Do you know how to take out the top players? Do you want to know how to take out all the crazy people who are among the best builders in the game and have the best gameplay experience?
You shoot them in the face with a sniper rifle.

Why is the method so good? If you master other weapons in Fortnite well, that also has advantages. However, mastering a heavy sniper rifle has significantly more impact. Ninja says it’s about the one-shot weapons. So guns that kill with one shot.
The heavy sniper rifle inflicts 150 to 157 damage in Fortnite. It can eliminate opponents who do not have full shields with one shot.
The heavy sniper rifle
This is important because the greatest build skills won’t help a player if they are taken out with a single well-aimed shot. If you are confident with the sniper that you can eliminate opponents from cover with one shot, it doesn’t matter who you are playing against. This way you can also take down the pros.
Where can you practice? In your matches, you should increasingly use the sniper as a primary weapon, even if it may not go well at first. Knowing where to aim at which distance to hit the opponent fatally is crucial here. Because the bullets of the rifles drop over their flight time.
We have a guide for you that explains everything about snipers so that you can win against the best players.
But the maps in creative mode can also help. In the Snipers VS Runners mode, two players duel. While one runs through a parkour, the other shoots at them with a sniper. Such courses are available with different weapons.
In the latest update, something has changed regarding assault rifles:
The MMO shooter The Division 2 is likely to survive the launch weeks well and unscathed, our author Tom finds.And that is a special feature.
Why do MMO shooters disappoint at launch? All previous MMO shooters with a focus on PvE went through roughly the same process.
Up to the release, they build hype, so many players eagerly await the launch with high expectations.
Shortly after release, however, disillusionment sets in. The community uncovers bugs, exploits, and balance issues. Usually, the endgame cannot motivate for long, cheaters ruin the gaming experience, or other problems arise. The launch weeks do not live up to expectations.
The developers then chase after the mistakes for weeks and months. Major innovations are not to be expected, as the base game must first function properly.
Only after months – or about a year – does the MMO shooter stand as one would have wished at launch. But by then, many players have already moved on.
This development has already been experienced by MMO shooters Destiny 1, Destiny 2, and The Division 1 – Anthem is currently in the midst of it.
Why doesn’t this happen with The Division 2? The Division 2, on the other hand, could skip this process and stand on a solid foundation from the start. Why is that?
You can find detailed information on the term “MMO shooter” here.
In-game scene from The Division 2
The Division 2 launches with a lot of diverse content
The problem with other MMO shooters: Like all games, MMO shooters face the problem that players eventually run out of content. However, as they are “games-as-a-service,” the community expects regular and satisfying content updates.
Especially MMO shooters with a focus on PvE, like The Division 1 or Anthem, cannot deliver new content as quickly as it is consumed by players.
Typically, they lack sufficient modes at launch with high long-term motivation to quench the thirst for content over an extended period.
Only with future expansions will new content be delivered – but in the meantime, players must exercise patience.
This is what The Division 2 does better: The Division 2 boasts a solid campaign right at launch, which Ubisoft claims should keep agents occupied for about 40 hours. However, if you play in a team, it can be completed significantly faster, as the first players have already completed the campaign.
Additionally, an open world invites exploration, filled with side missions, collectibles, and many hidden details.
In addition to extensive PvE content, which you can actually play solo or co-op, The Division 2 also features PvP modes that can keep many agents engaged for a long time and motivate through the competitive aspect. And then there is also the Dark Zone, a PvEvP area, which is a unique feature of the Division brand.
At launch, you already have a wide selection of how and what you want to play with your agents in The Division 2.

The Division 2 has an extensive endgame at launch
The problem with other MMO shooters: For many players, the fun in an MMO shooter only begins in the endgame. Because then it’s about optimizing the build, tackling the hardest challenges, and claiming the best loot.
That’s why some players rush through the campaign quickly to start the endgame – and find hardly any content waiting for them. The Destiny games, in particular, struggled for a long time with a varied endgame; The Division 1 initially had little to offer besides an underdeveloped Dark Zone and few incursions.
This is what The Division 2 does better: According to all available information, Massive seems to deliver a well-thought-out endgame that has a lot to offer. First, you actually have to unlock the full endgame.
There, 5 world tiers await you, each of which determines the difficulty and loot of the entire game world. New endgame features await you in each tier.
Furthermore, a new faction appears only in the endgame in The Division 2, which is said to be quite strong, introduces new weapons and tricks, and significantly shakes up the game. They occupy previously played story missions and strongholds, making this already played content exciting again.
The Division 2 offers what players expect from an endgame: that the game only truly begins then and that it sets goals for players to pursue.
The Division 2 will be a feast for build optimizers
The problem with other MMO shooters: MMO shooters often struggle with loot issues at launch. Either there is a lack of exciting loot, the drop rates are too high or too low, or some items are completely overpowered and ruin the balance.
This is what The Division 2 does better: Whether The Division 2 has its loot under control will only be seen in the coming days. However, it certainly shouldn’t become boring anytime soon.
Because you have plenty of options to optimize your character. In addition to different quality levels of armor (up to high-end), you can enhance builds with exotics, gear sets, specializations, and brand armor, all of which grant unique benefits.
Moreover, there are several skills, perks, weapons, and talents. Most can also be customized with mods, allowing you to experiment for hours to gradually improve your agent.
The Division 2 has learned from the mistakes of part 1
The problem with other MMO shooters: Here, Destiny serves as an example. For three years, the first part was continuously improved and fed with new content, culminating in a well-rounded MMO shooter.
And then came Destiny 2. Many of the praised improvements were discarded, the loot became horribly boring, and it took over a year before the game could be elevated to a higher level with Forsaken. It felt like Bungie did not learn from the development path that Destiny 1 went through and repeated the mistakes.
This is what The Division 2 does better: The Division developers have already emphasized multiple times that they learned from the mistakes of The Division 1 and will build on all the improvements they implemented in the first part over the past three years.
Currently, it seems these are not empty words. With clans, loadouts, dedicated PvP modes, a photo mode, and much more, The Division 2 delivers important features right at launch, which players waited for a long time – or in vain – in the first part. Much community feedback has been implemented in The Division 2.
The Division 2 has a solid post-launch plan
The problem with other MMO shooters: After the launch, many MMO shooters quickly run out of steam. While developers chase after many bugs, players impatiently await fresh content.
In the case of The Division 1, although the first DLC was released as planned after launch, it only caused more balance issues and failed to convince content-wise. The fact that it divided the community (only those who paid received new modes and PS4 players had to wait an additional month) added to the problem.
How The Division 2 will ultimately perform in the hot release phase will be shown in the coming days and weeks. Then, masses of agents will roam Washington D.C. and explore every corner of the game.
Currently, it looks good that The Division 2 will have an excellent launch for an MMO shooter.
In Destiny 2, an exotic rocket launcher is currently making waves. As long as Bungie doesn’t nerf it, everyone should give it a try now.
This is about the Exotic: The Wardcliff Coil is an exotic rocket launcher with an interesting history. It first appeared in databases as an icon in 2015, but it wasn’t until autumn 2017 that the Exotic could finally be played in Destiny 2.
Back then, it was debated whether it had the potential to rival the Gjallarhorn, a powerful weapon that blasts everything out of the way. However, the Wardcliff Coil did not achieve that – at least not until now. Because in Season 6, it is performing exceptionally well.
The Wardcliff Coil
The Wardcliff Coil in Season 6 deals heavy damage
This is how strong the Wardcliff Coil is now: With the recent Season 6 update, Bungie has significantly buffed the rocket launcher. The PvE damage against boss enemies has been increased by a whopping 115%, and the damage can even rise to +160% the weaker the enemy is.
Since other Exotics like the Sleeper Simulant or the Whisper of the Worm, which previously occupied the Exotic slot, have been severely restricted in their ammunition reserves, the Wardcliff Coil is becoming the first choice for many Guardians.
How does this damage buff manifest? The Wardcliff Coil is now powerful against Taken in Gambit, against strike bosses, against raid bosses, and any PvE enemies in general.
In no time, it vaporizes the health points of the big bosses. In this short video, you can see how the Wardcliff Coil takes down the Nightfall boss Nokris with just one shot:

Here is a compilation of how the Wardcliff Coil makes quick work of all strike bosses. In the video, it can be repeatedly heard and read in the comments that “this crazy weapon is insane.”

What exactly is the Wardcliff Coil? It is an exotic rocket launcher for the power slot. It deals Arc damage and has these special perks:
Crazy Scientist – exotic perk: The weapon fires a volley of rockets.
Mechanized Loader: The weapon automatically reloads when picking up ammunition.
Now it deals even more than double the damage to bosses in PvE than before, making it a new top Exotic.
How do I get it? You can obtain the Wardcliff Coil randomly from exotic engrams. Xur can also bring it. Since it is a Year 1 Exotic, it has probably been gathering dust in many of your vaults for a long time.
We have already reported on its new power when we gave tips for Gambit Prime. Because it also eliminates Taken in no time in Gambit.
Whether Bungie will soon put this strong weapon back in its place remains to be seen. Until then, it does remind one a bit of the power of the Gjallarhorn.
Players demand that the developers of Anthem “make a statement” by not logging in anymore. Our author Schuhmann says: That makes sense, but it’s the wrong statement.
What kind of boycott is this? Currently, many sites are reporting on a call for a boycott of Anthem.
Players are supposed to not log in for a week until March 15, to signal to the developers that they should adjust the loot rates again. At the core of the protest is a post on the English-speaking community platform Reddit.
On Reddit, they proudly list how many sites have already reported on the protest, from the German GameStar to Russian sites, including Kotaku and Polygon.
A part of the German press echo on the call for a boycott.
They want a “loot rain.” As many masterwork and legendary items should drop as possible so that players can then filter out the best rolls to refine their builds.
The logic is: “Even if I’m fully legendary equipped, I still don’t have the best items and farm for the God Rolls continuously.”
By purposely staying away, players want to send a message and force the developers to yield and adjust the drop rates.
The idea is: “If the game is completely dead for a week, then the investors and the developers themselves will see it and will respond.”
Currently, the tree is burning in Anthem – and the little clown.
That’s why I think it’s not a good idea: Basically, I have sympathy for people who want more loot. I want that too – always.
But I find this culture of coercion, which is forming on Reddit, troubling. It already bothered me when Reddit was deliberately used to have a annoying developer fired from Guild Wars 2 – and it bothers me now.
The developers have stated that loot is a sensitive issue. BioWare itself is dissatisfied with the loot in Anthem, but wants to be cautious in adjusting it.
They speak of “significant changes in the coming months.” Apparently, that’s too slow for the players.
What is the idea behind contradicting the developers and saying: Do it now?
It is a bit like telling the surgeon who is supposed to operate on your heart but wants to wait for the results: “No, just cut! Otherwise, it’s your turn.”
Why do they want to force them to do something that the developers themselves apparently believe is not a good idea?
Such actions ultimately cast a bad light on the game
The lines between developers and players harden
It puts even more pressure on the kettle
Under such pressure, hardly good things can arise. At best, a “short-term solution” will come out of this, which might cause lasting damage.
Full Legendary and then fly to the next game?
If everyone runs around completely legendary – What would be the impact on the game? Would it really be possible to keep that “healthy” over months and years?
It would encourage people to “play through Anthem and finish it” so they can move on to the next game. Is that really the best decision BioWare can make right now?
Example: The Division 1 and ESO
What would be the better solution? One can and should assume that the developers at BioWare have just as much interest in making Anthem the best possible game as the now angry fans. But this “coercive mentality” cannot be a solution.
Anthem is not the first game that has had major issues at launch. Virtually every major online game goes through a challenging phase at release. The only thing that really helps is to stay calm, take a close look at the feedback, and then respond to it in peace.
That takes time and is annoying, but that is the only reasonable solution.
The Elder Scrolls had huge changes discussed along with the top guilds
All games that have managed to turn around in the long term sought dialogue with the fans and then improved the game gradually over months:
In The Division, a “task force” of experts was called in
In Final Fantasy XIV, the game was even completely renewed from the ground up
All these processes took months and were based on good communication with the fans. Such “rush” boycott actions may be a vent for understandable frustration, but they send the wrong signal here.
More than pressure and boycotts, Anthem currently needs constructive feedback and time.
Anyone so furious with BioWare that they want to “send a signal to the investors” should perhaps just play something else until their heated mood has cooled down.
We spoke with Jeffrey Edwards and Derek Brinkmann from Citadel Studios about their sandbox MMORPG Legends of Aria. It turned out that the MMORPG aims to grow beyond the nostalgic Ultima Online experience.
In the conversation with Citadel Studios, we talked about the last major update for Legends of Aria as well as how the MMORPG will continue to evolve.
Mein-MMO:At the end of January, you released a comprehensive overhaul of the dungeons of Legends of Aria. How did that go?
Citadel Studios: Very well! We released a second level for all our existing Wilderness Dungeons and additionally made a graphical overhaul and redistribution of all levels. We have received great feedback on our changes and are now looking for new dungeons and monster experiences that we want to introduce in the coming months.
Mein-MMO: Will we see more dungeons in the future and can you tell us what we can expect from such new dungeons?
Citadel Studios: Our upcoming expansion The Frozen Tundra will introduce new dungeons into the world of Aria, primarily our Mythic Dungeons. We can’t go into detail at this time, but these dungeons will offer players entirely new challenges and opportunities to tackle.

LoA starts as a classic sandbox but intends to become more
Mein-MMO:Shroud of the Avatar had little success as the “spiritual successor to Ultima Online.” Have you learned anything from the release of SotA that will help you with LoA?
Citadel Studios: We have always said that only Richard Garriott can create a true spiritual successor to Ultima Online, and it is a privilege of the “creators” to take their “creation” in new and exciting directions. We are sometimes referred to as successors, but we would prefer to be seen as the younger sister of UO who is similar in the most important point but differs in every other aspect.
We have approached things a bit differently and did not intend to reinvent the wheel. Instead, we have tried to recreate this unique social sandbox gameplay that Starr Long and Richard Garriott discovered many years ago. This means knowing what can and cannot be done to create an experience that is based both on old-school sandbox games and makes use of the many advancements that games have undergone to create an MMORPG experience that is both new and “old”.
Citadel Studios: Absolutely. One of our main goals is to become a gateway for modern MMO players to experience old-school MMORPGs again, which requires a very healthy mix of new and old gameplay experiences. We are not doing this out of a strong sense of nostalgia (although that is obviously present!), but because modern MMOs no longer make interactivity, social interaction, and virtual worlds the core of their experience. We have no interest in developing action-based quests and content that is level-based. But we intend to offer something varied to this type of player.
While our current offering in Early Access can be called a rather “classic” experience, this is mainly because LoA is still in development. Our upcoming expansion The Frozen Tundra will include a range of features that both new and old players will equally enjoy.
The Early Access version offers a new player experience
Mein-MMO:People are waiting for the early access launch on Steam, which has been delayed. What can players expect from the early access launch compared to the version they can currently purchase on your website?

Citadel Studios: The release on Steam will coincide with our expansion The Frozen Tundra, which will be a content expansion for the game.
In Aria, players can today take on roles such as bartender, adventurer, or sage, build and decorate their houses, fight in dungeons, and create countless authentic and immersive existences. We largely see this as a “classic” experience. The foundation of a true sandbox MMORPG has been at the heart of our vision. While we continue to shape and balance this experience to be the best it can be, we are moving Legends of Aria into the next stage of development.
Our upcoming expansions will fundamentally change how players can engage with Aria by introducing new and exciting systems that complement and build upon the classic Aria experience.
One of our key features is our Mythic system, which allows players to acquire and enhance artifacts, improve the user, and reveal the powers and magic of ancient schools and professions. The Mythic system provides players with the exclusive opportunity to delve into the otherworldly, divine, or dark arts, and offers a completely new advancement, a PvE challenge, and an exciting new way to customize and develop characters.
About a year ago, the MMORPG RIFT Prime servers were launched, which were very well received at the time. Now suddenly, it is all coming to an end before the servers could go through the entire “Progression” process.
Why are the servers being shut down? Gamigo does not provide an explanation for this. It is only said that the servers have to be shut down with a heavy heart.
Why was this surprising? The servers launched very successfully about a year ago. There was a real boom because players appreciated the opportunity to start fresh with subscription servers and gradually experience the story through the addons. Now it has suddenly and without warning come to an end.
Actually, the Prime servers were supposed to run for at least two years to introduce all addons step by step and complete the story.
RIFT Prime struggled with problems
What could be the reasons for the shutdown? A lot is being discussed about the situation in the official RIFT forum. Players suspect that the status of the servers, coupled with the acquisition of Trion Worlds by Gamigo, led to the fact that the subscription servers can no longer be supported.
The servers were plagued by many bugs and issues that the developers intended to address over time. Now it seems they no longer have the capacity for this. Furthermore, the population on the servers has continued to shrink over the past months.
How are the fans reacting? Reactions vary. Some show understanding as the status of the classic servers simply meant a lot of work for the developers. Others are angry and disappointed.
discosoc writes in the official forum: “If there had been a real interest, they would not have laid off everyone who was capable of working on the game.”
When will the servers be shut down? The Prime servers will be closed on March 31.
Characters can be transferred to other servers – but only if played further on a US server. It is not possible to transfer characters from one region to another, which angers many players from Europe.
Tomorrow the legendary lunchtime event starts in Pokémon GO. To help you prepare as best as possible, we will provide you with information about start times, bonuses, and the legendary Pokémon.
This event focuses on the current raid boss Dialga. You will encounter this Pokémon in every gym.
Legendary Lunchtime Event in March – Start Times and Bonuses
What: The legendary lunchtime event in March 2019 When: On Wednesday, March 13 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM German time Pokémon of the Day: Dialga Bonus: Legendary raid bosses will appear in all gyms
You will need raid passes for this event.
This is how the legendary lunchtime event works
This is important: This type of event has not occurred before. Therefore, it is not possible to say exactly how this event will unfold. We are relying on statements from Niantic.
This is how the raids will come: According to Niantic, at 11:50 AM all gyms in the game will receive a legendary egg. This egg will hatch 10 minutes later, at noon.
This means that from noon, there will be a raid at every gym. So if you want to battle in gyms, you can forget about it during this time.
You will only find Dialga at every gym.
Are there bonuses? So far, Niantic has mentioned nothing about bonuses. However, there may well be some kind of bonus given at the start of the event. This remains to be seen.
What is behind the legendary lunchtime event: The developers want to try something new. They are implementing a completely new time. On a Wednesday at noon, only players who are currently on their lunch break will be able to participate. Niantic hopes for your feedback on whether such an event should happen again in the future.
What we know about the raid boss Dialga
These raids will be available: During the one hour, there will be only legendary raids. In this case, it will only be Dialga. You will not encounter any other raid boss.
What you should know about Dialga: Dialga is a Dragon and Steel type Pokémon. A 100% Dialga will have 2307 CP in the raid. With a weather bonus during snow or wind, it can even reach 2884 CP.
How many people do you need? You can manage Dialga with just two players. However, you need very strong counters and cloudy weather. Otherwise, you can comfortably take down Dialga with three and definitely with four players.
These are the counters: The legendary Pokémon is weak against Ground and Fighting types. The three best counters are:
Is Dialga worth it? The Pokémon is indeed a strong attacker. So it is worth utilizing the legendary lunchtime event. A detailed analysis of Dialga and a comparison with Palkia can be found here:
To help you make the most of the event, we provide you with some tips:
With our tips, you’ll be as prepared as possible!
Timing is crucial: This event lasts only for one hour. Therefore, it is crucial to be quick. If you really want to do as many raids as possible, you shouldn’t spend too much time on individual raids.
Gather a group ahead of time: To avoid wasting time, gather a group for raids beforehand. Don’t make this group too large, as it can slow things down. A smaller group with 5 players is much more effective.
Make a plan in advance: Think ahead about which gyms are close together and where it’s worth raiding. Those with a specific route will be faster.
Use the right counters: One of the best ways to save time is with the right counters. If everyone has a strong Machamp team, which is currently possible due to the Battle Event, you will be much faster than with Regice or Lugia as counters.
You won’t get far with Regice.
Keep moving: Once you start the battle against Dialga and are out of the lobby, you can keep moving. You can also catch while walking. This way, by the time you finish the raid, you’ll hopefully already be at the next raid and can start directly. This saves a lot of time.
Have these items ready: If you’re quick, you can easily manage 8-10 raids in one hour. So make sure to bring plenty of raid passes.
Moreover, using a lucky egg for so many consecutive raids is worthwhile. You will earn 20,000 XP per raid with it.
Looking for Pokémon in your inventory? Then make use of the search function:
BioWare recently provided further details from Patch 1.03 for Anthem. Players had accused the developers of wanting to hide negative patch notes.
What about the patch notes? BioWare released Patch 1.03 and provided patch notes for it last Saturday. The update was initially scheduled for today, March 12, but was moved up due to numerous player issues.
However, after the patch, players pointed out details that seemed to have changed but were not noted in the patch notes. Some even accused the developers of wanting to hide negative changes from players.
BioWare stated that there are some bugs with the components.
What was added? Community Manager Jesse Anderson has now updated some details in the Anthem subreddit and confirmed suspected bugs. Anderson also addressed two points that the community complained about:
After the patch, fewer high-end ember resources drop. This is a bug that is supposed to be fixed today, March 12, with a hotfix.
Changes to the path to glory, which are intended. The developers adjusted the parameters for daily, weekly, and monthly challenges so that players can complete tasks in February.
What bugs are there? The community manager also confirmed some bugs related to equipment and components that players have already discussed. These changes were not intended and are supposed to be reverted with an upcoming patch.
Some players receive legendary items for different javelins than the ones they are currently playing.
BioWare continues to urge the community to report changes or potential bugs. Some players report that they are receiving legendary items intended for a different javelin than the one they are currently playing.
However, there was no news on the loot debate. Anderson stated that the team is continuing to discuss changes and is looking at player feedback. There will be an update on loot only when more information is available.
BioWare has already explained how difficult the loot situation is:
The online shooter Fortnite receives a new update today on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Mobile. However, Patch 8.10 changes much more than one would have expected. Heavy Assault Rifles are becoming weaker, vending machines are changing completely in Fortnite.
This is quite a surprise this time, how much the patch changes. Normally, Epic announces such major changes in advance – this time it was only known that a hamster ball was coming, but there are indeed several changes.
Highlights of the Patch Notes for Fortnite Battle Royale
You can pull yourself up steep walls with the grappler and a boost or swing through treetops.
The driver is protected inside the ball, which can withstand 300 damage points.
This weapon is disappearing: The normal infantry rifle is leaving Fortnite.
Heavy Assault Rifles are becoming weaker
This weapon is becoming weaker: The heavy assault rifle is now available in gray/green/blue (previously blue/purple/gold).
The damage is reduced to 36/38/40 – previously it was 44/46/48, as Fortnitetracker knows.
Sticky grenades smaller stack: With the new Fortnite update, you can only carry 6 sticky grenades (previously 10).
Vending machines are changing completely: Items you pull from vending machines in Fortnite are now completely free. Previously, you had to leave plenty of resources.
However, the machines will disappear once they have been used.
There are no gray and green items in the vending machines anymore, and the turret has been removed from the legendary machines.
Treasure maps halved: The treasure maps in Fortnite have had their availability halved. You can only find them at 0.27% on the ground (previously 0.53%) and at 1.65% from chests (previously 3.25%).
Fortnite aims to resolve “Logout Problem”
Vehicles more practical: If players get into an empty vehicle, they will now always be the driver.
Logging out is no longer helpful: If someone “logs out”, dies in the storm, or commits suicide, the last player who caused damage to them in the last 15 seconds will get the kill.
Players had used logging out to deny kills to opponents in Ranked.
Highlights of the Patch Notes for Save the World
Beta storms are changing: These are new mission types that Epic is testing in Fortnite’s PvE mode.
“Data Retrieval” is returning, but with a vote on whether the balloon comes down first or whether the players want to wait and keep building their fortress
“Test Your Limits” is a new beta storm where players are supposed to traverse a series of waypoints as often as possible.
“Complete and Collect” is being removed from the rotation.
Hero back: “Shadow Sight Southie” returns to the shop. He will be available starting March 14 at 1:00 AM for a week in the shop.
