Apex Legends: Here are all the Legends and their abilities

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 5 minutes

The new battle royale game Apex Legends brings unique heroes to the BR genre. Learn everything about the individual characters and their special abilities in the game here.

What is Apex Legends? Apex Legends takes place in the Titanfall universe and is a battle royale game. 60 players battle it out in teams of 3 until only one squad remains. As a unique selling point, the game offers eight different characters, known as “Legends”.

Like in Overwatch, each of these characters has unique skills and plays differently. Here you can find out what each hero can do and what they are suited for.

Which legend should I play? Additionally, we will provide you with a recommendation for each character regarding which legend suits which player type. So much for now: There is something for everyone!

Gibraltar – The Shield Fortress

Who is he? Gibraltar is a powerful guy who appears to be of New Zealand warrior descent. At least one of his emotes is a haka war dance. He seems to be a warm-hearted, lovable guy who enjoys laughing heartily.

  • Defensive Bombardment: Gibraltar’s ultimate ability targets an area for bombardment from orbit. Ideal for flushing out entrenched enemies!

Who should play him? If you want to play a mobile bulwark and protect your team, then Gibraltar is your hero.

Caustic – The Toxic Trapper

Who is he? Caustic is one reason why the “heroes” in Apex Legends are called Legends. This guy is a real nasty piece of work and definitely not a hero! Rather, he is a sociopath who sees his fellow humans as pesky insects, which he cruelly kills with various chemical weapons.

Warning: Mirage is not playable from the start and must be unlocked or purchased for real money.

This is why the operations base in The Division 2 is so important

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

As in the predecessor, in The Division 2 you have your own Operations Base. This time it is the White House, the former government and residence of the US President. We summarize why it is so important and how it works.

As part of the Division, it is your task in The Division 2 to protect the city from civil war and the control of enemy factions. But Division agents also need a hideout where they can organize: the White House. There has been speculation for a long time that you need to rebuild the White House

Your new home in The Division 2: The new Operations Base is even more historical than the main post office of New York, which was the base in The Division 1. Now it is the place from where the USA was governed before the downfall.

At its core, it functions just like in the predecessor, but there are some changes to the Operations Base. We explain how it works and what the differences from the first part are.

division-operationsbasis

This is how it was in Part 1: The Operations Base of The Division 1 is located in the main post office of New York and is divided into three different wings:

  • Medical
  • Technical
  • Security

These three wings were also the focus of the story campaign. There are three different types of main and side missions that rewarded players with points for each area upon completion.

With these points, you could unlock passive perks and active skills for your character.

the division 2 white house

The Operations Base of The Division 2

At the beginning of the game, the White House is in a poor state. The Division in D.C. has failed and could barely hold on there.

This is how the base works: Primarily, the White House is the headquarters of the Division of Washington D.C. or at least what is left of it. It serves as a hideout and houses several important NPCs who also play a role in the story. You will also find:

  • A crafting station,
  • A recalibration station,
  • The quartermaster,
  • A shooting range,
  • The Dark Zone vendor
  • and “more” that is probably not yet revealed.

Many of these stations are not available at the beginning and must be unlocked during the story. You will need to recruit certain people throughout the campaign, who will then become active in your base. Details are still unclear, only the purpose of the quartermaster has been revealed.

This is the purpose of the quartermaster: At the quartermaster, you can unlock your skills and perks. Unlike The Division 1, you no longer unlock these through different wings of the base, but directly at the quartermaster.

the division 2 white house2
Source: YouTube

To do this, you need to collect SHD Tech, which is also known from the predecessor. You can unlock all skills in any order, but you will need both SHD Tech and skill points. However, for all perks, you must have recruited certain people in main and side missions before you can unlock them.

This is how you get SHD Tech: SHD Tech can be obtained in The Division 2 from main and side missions, but can also be found anywhere in the game world. How generous the game will be in this regard will likely only be known after release.

This is how you get skill points: At the moment, this is not entirely clear. Presumably, you can “buy” skill points with SHD Tech.

Do I also have to unlock everything in the beta first? No, in the Private Beta, the skills are available directly so that you can test everything.

Soon you will be able to take a look at the base yourself:

Is Neverwinter worth it: Does the MMORPG classic still hold up in 2019?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 8 minutes

The MMORPG Neverwinter (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is soon celebrating its sixth birthday. Time to see if the free online game is still fun in 2019. Many adventure modules have significantly expanded the story and game world, but time is taking its toll on the D&D classic. We test Neverwinter in our Mein-MMO review.

The review has been fundamentally revised on 5.2.2019.

What Neverwinter Offers

What is Neverwinter? The MMORPG Neverwinter places you in the Forgotten Realms, the classic D&D fantasy world par excellence. The focus is on story and quests as well as exploring large game areas. Additionally, the game offers a unique feature: through the Foundry editor, it is possible to create your own adventures that other players can then experience. Neverwinter is playable on PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.

  • Quests: Neverwinter offers a variety of quests that guide you through numerous areas. The quests tell an ongoing story that is continuously expanded and where you get to know the Forgotten Realms more closely.
  • Dungeons & Dragons feeling: Neverwinter creates an atmosphere as if you were sitting with friends around an exciting round of Pen & Paper D&D and experiencing adventures as a team.
  • Very good group play: The classes are well balanced and allow for good functionality in groups. Therefore, playing in a well-coordinated party is especially fun.
    Neverwinter_PS4
  • Constant expansions: Last November saw the release of The Heart of Fire, the now 15th expansion of the MMORPG. The development team regularly works on new content and continues to provide fans with new content and stories.
  • Dungeons and instances: The highlights of Neverwinter include the large dungeons and group instances. Mastering these and defeating the boss enemies as a team provides powerful loot and a lot of fun.
  • Foundry: Neverwinter offers players the opportunity to create their own quests using the Foundry editor. These can then be offered to other players. This ensures a constant stream of new adventures.

Neverwinter is on one hand a representative of classic MMORPGs, but offers a gaming experience that is more oriented towards D&D Pen & Paper game nights. The many contents ensure a very long duration of fun.

How Good is Neverwinter

Neverwinter is no longer the youngest MMORPG. You can tell that from the presentation of the game. However, the game manages to compensate for the slight aging weaknesses in the visuals with plenty of quests and many stories. It is primarily the story that drives the game.

Neverwinter Test 1

The city of Neverwinter and its surroundings are repeatedly targeted by dark forces. Therefore, as heroes, you have your hands full dealing with these threats. You will talk to NPCs in many areas, who will tell you more about the current situation and assign you missions. These missions lead you to diverse areas such as the sewers beneath the city, enchanted forests, deep dungeons, the snowy Icewind Dale, and even the jungles of Chult, where massive dinosaurs await you. With the module “Ravenloft”, a visit to a horror dimension was on the agenda.

The quests often follow a similar pattern, which can lead to a lack of variety over time. You explore the game area, fight against the creatures there, and at the end, you usually face a boss enemy for whom you need to devise a special strategy. In between, you solve the occasional switch puzzle or talk to an NPC who provides additional clues.

Even though the quests lack variety over time, there is always plenty to do, and the excitement remains due to the tactical fights. After each mission, you feel like you have achieved something and made progress. Either you find cooler equipment or you level up and gain new, more powerful skills. Equipped this way, you can happily dive into the next adventure.

Due to the way the quests build on each other and how they tell an epic story this way, you get the feeling of being an important part of the world. It’s like participating in a D&D Pen & Paper session with good friends. The story unfolds in bite-sized pieces, sometimes larger, sometimes smaller, but ultimately they form a big whole that convinces in terms of fun and excitement.

Neverwinter Test 2

The Story Moves Forward and On…

Neverwinter-Nasen

In Neverwinter, fans can rely on a continuous quality and a progressing story. 15 expansions have already been released over the past five years, but that is not the end.

The developers know exactly what fans want – new quests, new game areas, and a continuation of the story. Playing Neverwinter is like reading a good fantasy book series that keeps going. The heroes experience new adventures and face further challenges. Therefore, it is enjoyable to return to the world with each newly released adventure module to see what threat is to be contained next.

The developers also do a pretty good job in the way the story is told. It can happen that beloved NPCs die during the course of a narrative…

An Endless Stream of New Content

The Warlock in Neverwinter

An extraordinary feature of Neverwinter is the Foundry Editor, which is only available for the PC version of the MMORPG.

  • Foundry allows you to create your own missions through an editor. Here you can unleash your creativity and then offer these quests to other players.
  • Foundry quests represent additional content that can fill the waiting time for official updates and expansions.
  • There are certain rules to follow when creating quests, including restrictions on rewards to prevent abuse of the system.
  • With Foundry quests, you can earn additional rewards and improve your hero outside of the regular quests.
  • The Foundry Editor and thus the Foundry quests are only available for the PC version due to technical issues with the editor.

The Game Systems – Classic but Unmodern

Neverwinter plays classically. Eight classes, divided into typical patterns of Tank – Damage Dealer – and Healer, show that Neverwinter does not make great leaps to be innovative. The battles also feel familiar and MMO-like, with the difference that you have to click actively for strikes. You select an opponent and then use the “Hotbar” to deploy your learned skills.

More on the topic
Neverwinter – What is the best class?
von Andreas Bertits

Your hero levels up over time by defeating monsters and completing quests, earning experience points. This way, you can choose new skills that will help you in the more difficult missions.

Equipment also plays an important role, which is why you are always on the lookout for loot. Crafting is possible but does not represent a real focus in the MMO – even though the crafting system was fundamentally revised some time ago and is definitely more fun than before. Thus, the systems of Neverwinter are classic but somewhat lacking in innovation and no longer feel very modern.

Neverwinter

What About PvP?

PvP is also possible in Neverwinter. However, it does not form the core of the MMO, and you can clearly see that. PvP takes place in the Domination mode on special maps where ten players fight each other. The Gauntlgrym dungeon represents a PvP endgame content where 40 players fight. And in Icewind Dale, there is a special open PvP zone. Particularly fun is the Stronghold mode, where two guilds battle each other, expand their fortresses, and then initiate sieges.

While PvP in Neverwinter can certainly be fun and requires special equipment, the game clearly shows that the focus is on PvE.

Neverwinter was not originally planned as an MMORPG, and you can feel it. Originally, Cryptic Studios wanted to create an online RPG for smaller groups of players. However, publisher Perfect World decided they wanted an MMORPG instead. Hence, the developers had to adjust the game accordingly.

That Neverwinter was not originally designed as an MMO is noticeable in many areas. The quests are designed for cooperative gameplay, and the whole story feels more like a single-player game that can be played cooperatively. This makes the player experience in Neverwinter quite unique.

Neverwinter Online Role-Playing Game Free

How About the Long-Term Motivation of Neverwinter?

Neverwinter as an MMORPG aims to keep players engaged for a long time. There are endgame contents, the Foundry, and constant expansions. Nevertheless, there is a catch regarding long-term motivation. Yes, there’s a lot of content, but it is not particularly varied.

neverwinter river district 2

How Many Hours of Fun? Due to the previously released 15 expansions, the story of Neverwinter contains hundreds of hours of fun. This can be significantly expanded if you play quests created by players using the Foundry.

How Varied is the Game? Variety is somewhat the sticking point of Neverwinter. There is indeed a lot to do and many quests tell exciting stories. However, the actual missions usually follow a very similar pattern. You fight your way through an area, which often gives the impression of a linear level, facing the same recurring enemies. At the end, there’s usually a boss. Over time, this can become a bit monotonous.

What Do I Do After the Story? After the story, you can tackle endgame content in the form of Stronghold and Gauntlgrym battles or “raids”. However, you also have to enjoy PvP for that. Additionally, you’ll search for rare equipment by repeatedly hunting and defeating boss monsters, going on daily repeatable hunts. Moreover, it’s best to check out the Foundry quests of other players or even create your own missions with the editor.

Is There an Endgame? There is a number of intense “raid” dungeons that you can only complete in a group. There you face dangerous monsters like the dragon Tiamat or the Demogorgon. Defeating these creatures is only possible in a well-coordinated group and provides epic loot. In addition, PvP content is also waiting for you. With each expansion, the developers also add new challenges.

What About Microtransactions?

Neverwinter, as a free-to-play MMORPG, naturally offers microtransactions, through which further development is financed. The Zen Market allows you to purchase items such as epic companions or additional inventory slots using the in-game currency “Zen,” which can be bought with real money. However, this is not necessary unless you’re aiming for a competitive edge and wish to be among the best players. In that case, you might buy certain “advantages” that allow you to progress somewhat faster. It should not be seen as pay-to-win.

Neverwinter can also be completely “played through” without spending money. And you can have plenty of fun without spending a cent. Additionally, you’ll also collect Astral Diamonds in the game, which you can use to acquire almost any item in the auction house. The microtransactions in Neverwinter are essentially just for convenience. In around five years, the author of this article has not spent a single cent on Neverwinter and has still been able to experience countless adventures while having a lot of fun.

Thus, the microtransactions are a nice way to save time, but they are not strictly necessary. There are indeed references to microtransactions in the game, but they can be safely ignored.

Is the Game for Me?

Neverwinter is worth it for you if…

  • you want to experience quests in an MMORPG.
  • you do not focus on PvP but only occasionally want to compete with other players.
  • it’s important to you to experience an epic story that is continuously developed.
  • you are a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and especially of the Forgotten Realms scenario.

Similar Games: You Might Like Neverwinter if…

  • you enjoy the focus on story in The Elder Scrolls Online and like to explore a lot.
  • you love exciting boss fights like in TERA, where you have to come up with clever strategies with your team of friends to succeed.
  • you enjoy exploring large dungeons like in RIFT where there is much to discover and find.

Difficulty Level: Beginners and Advanced. The difficulty level increases steadily. Beginners do not feel overwhelmed, but veterans also get challenging encounters later on.

The head of Final Fantasy XIV wore this cosplay from Germany – This is what makes it special

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 4 minutes

Naoki Yoshida, the head of Final Fantasy XIV, wore a cosplay of the new job “Gunbreaker” at the Fan Festival in Paris. This cosplay was created by a regular girl from the FFXIV community.

What happened? Director Yoshida is known not only for his work on FFXIV but also for his little quirks and peculiarities. For example, players firmly believe that the designs of the T-shirts he wears at Fan Festivals hold clues for future content.

Another peculiarity is that the producer has made it a tradition to wear cosplays at Fan Festivals. Yoshida has already taken on the roles of a Black Mage, Machinist, and Samurai. The Samurai costume was made by the famous Maul-Cosplay and Lenora Gewandungen.

This cosplay tradition was also continued this time at the Fan Fest in France. Yoshida appeared on stage in the outfit of the new job “Gunbreaker”.

What is special about the cosplay? This outfit was tailor-made specifically for Yoshida by a regular girl from Germany.

The cosplayer Chezah became well-known in the FFXIV community for her Red Mage outfit and has since created several new FFXIV cosplays, including the famous Zenos yae Galvus, one of the antagonists of FFXIV.

That she would be the one to receive the offer to create the next outfit for Yoshida was something Chezah never expected, especially after his last outfit was made by such a prominent cosplayer as Maul.

How did the work on the cosplay go? For the first time, Square Enix approached Chezah after Gamescom 2018 to ask if she would be interested in making a cosplay for them. The cosplayer had to sign a strict NDA (non-disclosure agreement) stating that she could not reveal anything about it before the official reveal of the job.

A concept artwork of the outfit from the game was used as a reference. Later, Square Enix Japan sent more assets to facilitate the work on the finer details.

The requirements were extremely high. “It should be better than perfect,” Chezah said in our conversation. The deadline for submission was strict and she had to regularly report her progress to Japan and implement the feedback.

“But they [Square Enix] also gave me a lot of freedom,” she said. “For example, there were no pictures of the armor on the back under the coat, and I could decide how to design that part. What absolutely could not happen was that parts suddenly fell off on stage. That would have been catastrophic.”

Which part was the most difficult? The most challenging part was the work on the coat. According to Chezah, Square Enix initially wanted “a kind of military coat made of harder fabric.” However, the lower part should be light enough to flutter a bit while walking, as seen in the Shadowbringers trailer.

Therefore, the cosplayer ultimately decided on lighter synthetic leather, which still had enough weight to not stick out.

What are the reactions? The feedback on the cosplay on Reddit was extremely positive. Players found it cool that Yoshida asked someone from the community to create his cosplay.

Chezah’s tweet about her making the outfit has now received over 3,700 likes and more than 1,500 retweets.

Yoshida said on stage that the Gunblade weapon was too heavy for “such an old man” like him in the long run.

The cosplayer herself said she had a lot of fun working on it, despite the high expectations and the pressure to match the quality of Maul-Cosplay. “I know Yoshida’s measurements,” she said, laughing in the end.

That’s why players celebrate Apex Legends, the Titanfall battle royale

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

Surprisingly, on February 4th Apex Legends, the battle royale in the Titanfall universe, launched. We will show you why the game is so well received.

What’s it about? When Apex Legends was announced, many players wondered if a new battle royale could still succeed in 2019. After all, there are already PUBG, Fortnite, and Blackout in the battle royale genre that have established themselves, along with others that failed to compete with these giants.

Already after the first hours of gameplay, Apex Legends is showing quite positive feedback. We will show you what fans appreciate about the free battle royale game.

Apex Legends is already here – How to play Battle Royale in the Titanfall universe
von Patrick Freese

The release came without major prior advertising: Apex Legends was basically released “just like that”. Over the weekend, there were a few leaks, then they confirmed on Sunday that the reveal would come on Monday. On Monday, cool teasers were released, followed by the reveal and release. Short and concise.

“Very impressive from a PR standpoint. I already like the game just because of how they handled the launch,” writes ColourfulMonochrome on Reddit. Slimegodmillionaire adds: “Yes, screw the years of hype bullshit. Much better when things are kept secret and then come as a surprise.”

Apex Map4

Praise for the smooth gameplay: Players are surprised by how smoothly Apex Legends runs. One would expect more problems from a free-to-play title. “I am very surprised at how smooth the gameplay is. THIS is how a free-to-play game should be released. Completely without hype, let the quality speak for itself,” writes buzzyjw on Reddit. Player MurfMan11 adds: “It runs like a dream. Gunplay is identical to Titanfall 2, just without wallruns and double jumps. I am very, very impressed so far.”

It is also praised that players can be revived in Apex Legends, even after being killed. Fans like this feature.

In the comments on MeinMMO, Fly writes: “The gunplay feels directly like TF, the characters seem to be diverse, and it brings enough new elements (knockdown shield, respawn possibility, the abilities of the legends) to the BR to stand out. In short: I’m really excited to play this tonight in a team.”

Apex Legends Screenshot

Good server performance right at launch: For the surprising launch of Apex Legends, there have been no major issues so far. Players report that the servers remain stable. “The servers seem to be running well, the game performance is very good,” writes MBGKGFX on Reddit. We also read about the good server performance here at MeinMMO. Player Sero writes, “Yep. Servers are perfect and I haven’t noticed any errors. No stuttering, just super smooth.”

Apex Map6

What’s praised about the teams: In the comments on MeinMMO, lars debruyn writes that he likes the concept of team composition: “Really cool gameplay, I think 3-man teams are a great idea, since squads can sometimes be too much. Especially when you’re fighting against multiple teams. Great gunplay like you know it from Titanfall 2. Interesting class system with healer, tracker, sniper, etc., and also the respawn system and the shield you get when you are down are cool new features.

von Jürgen Horn

Positive surprise despite free-to-play: For many readers here, Apex Legends is surprisingly positive. From a free-to-play title, some expected less. MeinMMO reader DNS says in his conclusion after his first rounds: “Really successful and a very high-quality product. Microtransactions can be safely ignored. No pay-to-win. A solid shooter.

Also praised is the variety in gameplay that arises from the different classes and their abilities.

apex-screenshot-respawn-beacon.jpg.adapt.crop16x9.818p

What’s not so well-received? There are also criticisms of Apex Legends. Players miss the wallruns and double jumps they are used to from Titanfall. DNS also mentions this in his conclusion.

It is also criticized that the graphics come across as “somewhat blurry and very ‘free-to-play'” according to MeinMMO reader Ilias. User Christoph Bauer says that one can tell that the game is free-to-play. Technically flawless, “but that is probably due to the lackluster map.”

Conclusion: So far, according to players’ opinions, Apex Legends is doing a lot right. The gunplay works well and remains true to Titanfall. And larger bugs that could disrupt the atmosphere have not been found so far. This still convinces players in 2019, even though the BR market already offers much variety.

Here and there, there are still issues such as maps that seem lackluster and missing features like wallruns or double jumps. Maybe they will be added later to the game.

And what is actually going on with Titanfall 3?

PS Plus in February 2019: These are the new free games - What is worth?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 5 minutes

Sony has announced the new free PS Plus games for February. These monthly games are available for download free of charge for all PS Plus subscribers on PS4, PS3, and Vita.

Sony traditionally reveals the new free PS Plus games on the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of the new month. These titles then become available for download on the first Tuesday. In February 2019, that is the 5th.

These PS Plus games are available in February for PlayStation 4: On the latest Sony console, you can look forward to

  • For Honor
  • Hitman: The Complete First Season

as free titles.

For Honor

What is For Honor? It is an action-packed online combat game set in a medieval world, with a strong focus on multiplayer mode. You must prove your combat skills in the story mode or with friends against other players and bots in various multiplayer modes.

For Honor Marching Fire

The catch: You fight with swords, axes, and other weapons from the Middle Ages. You use different heroes, each with unique attacks and abilities.

You can choose heroes from the Samurai, Vikings, Knights, and Wu Lin factions. In For Honor, you need quite a bit of skill and practice to be among the best.

Who is For Honor suitable for? For Honor is a game for gamers who find Assassin’s Creed too lonely. If you are looking for a fighting game with exciting multiplayer battles and a sophisticated combat system, then For Honor is just right for you.

For Honor Frostwinde 1

Even players who don’t want to miss out on the action of shooters but aren’t interested in guns can have fun with For Honor. The game demands a lot of skill and practice. Moreover, for your first matches, you need some tough nerves. But once you get the hang of the tactical combat system, For Honor can captivate you for many hours.

The various modes offer the opportunity to duel, participate in sieges with friends, or team up with heroes to bash each other’s armor. Both single players and smaller groups of up to four players can have their fun.

If you need more reasons why downloading For Honor is worth it, check out our detailed article on the topic:

Hitman: The Complete First Season

What is Hitman? Hitman is a stealth action game where you take on the role of Agent 47 – a genetically modified professional killer. You control 47 from a third-person perspective. With him, you carry out various assassinations around the globe and receive all the content from the first season of the game.

hitman season 1 – 4

The most important thing for success is that the target is eliminated. But how – that is entirely up to you. There are hardly any limits to creativity on the lovingly designed maps. You can disguise yourself, hide, deceive, or resort to brute force to succeed.

hitmans season 1 – 3

Do you sneak in, so that no one even notices you were there? Do you prefer to poison the target’s food in the heavily guarded kitchen? Do you snipe them from 300 meters away? Do you prefer to make “personal contact” and finish off the target with a knife or a piano wire? Do you take a bomb? Or do you grab an assault rifle and shoot everything in your way? It’s entirely up to you.

Who is Hitman suitable for? Series fans should also find this Hitman spin-off to their liking. But anyone who has always wanted to step into the shoes of a hitman should take a closer look at Hitman. Because you won’t find a better representation of this role on the PS4.

If you enjoy sneaking, love detailed environments in games, and particularly appreciate freedom in completing missions, then Hitman is the right game for you. However, multiplayer fans might be disappointed. Because in Hitman, you are on your own. There is no real multiplayer.

Reason 1: The unique gameplay of For Honor

In For Honor, you battle as a Samurai, Knight, Viking, or Wu Lin against other characters in exciting matches. The gameplay mechanics are unique and provide a different experience than most other games can deliver.

For Honor is based on armed close combat and martial arts, which are partially accurately drawn from real existing martial arts.

for-honor-warden-execution

Authentic close combat and spectacular finishers

The focus of For Honor is on the combat between two heroes. Therefore, the animations and fighting styles are impressive. Each hero has their own style and fights with their own characteristic weapon.

The combat system is based on blocks, feints, quick and heavy attacks, as well as dodge steps.

Many heroes bring unique features such as ranged attacks, special feints, or hard counters.

Additionally, For Honor offers spectacular and sometimes very bloody visuals. If you defeat your enemy with a heavy blow, you have the opportunity to execute them afterwards.

More on the topic

von Tom Rothstein

These finishers, known as executions, eliminate the opposing hero and prevent respawn by their teammates, providing a clear and spectacular conclusion to a duel.

No matter whether you’ve won or lost, an execution is a worthy ending for a fight.

Executions are one of the main features of For Honor. You even have the option to purchase and equip special executions for the heroes to use your personal favorites.

For Honor Marching Fire

Diversity through game modes

For Honor offers a lot of variety in different game modes. Duels emphasize perfect mastery of the character, sieges enhance teamwork with others, and point matches require strategic thinking and collaborative efforts.

In addition, For Honor offers a story and PvE modes for solo players. In a long story, you can experience how the eternal conflict of the factions began and face many different bosses.

In PvE matches, you can play for yourself, train, or collect experience and equipment alone or with a friend in the arcade.

For Honor Apollyon

Reason 2: For Honor has improved significantly

For Honor had a tough start. After its release in February 2017, it lost many players and was considered a “dead game” for some time. However, Ubisoft did not give up and continued to work hard to improve For Honor.

Those who quickly left For Honor at launch and decide to check back in today will find a significantly better game.

New faction, new heroes

Despite much criticism, new heroes and even a completely new faction have been developed further. The Wu Lin, a faction inspired by Chinese fighters, was introduced with the DLC “Marching Fire”. (additional purchase required)

For Honor new hero

The faction provides four new playable heroes, expanding the roster with their unique fighting styles:

  • Shaolin, a hybrid fighter with staves and high agility
  • Tiandi, a strong Vanguard with a sabre and hard hits
  • Jiang Jun, a heavy fighter with a spear
  • Nuxia, a swift fighter with two hooks as weapons

Additionally, more heroes for all factions have been added in various updates.

The giant update for For Honor has arrived – Here’s how fans are reacting
von Andreas Bertits

A new game mode

Along with the Wu Lin, a new game mode, the Arcade, was also added with the “Marching Fire” DLC. This is a PvE-based solo and co-op mode. (This DLC is also required)

In the arcade mode, you face off against AI in various scenarios. The mode is designed to offer “endless replayability”. There are several modifiers that can affect your life or your attacks.

You complete quests with multiple chapters and receive experience and equipment for your chosen hero. Both can be transferred to the multiplayer modes.

for-honor-damage

Reason 3: Wonderful graphics

The visuals of a game are a key reason for many to play it. For Honor boasts truly great graphics that even look superb on not-so-modern PCs.

Details like scratches on armor, blood stains, and artistic paintings on the war masks of the heroes and NPCs as well as impressive buildings and siege weapons enhance the gameplay wonderfully.

The animations, especially the depiction of the popular executions, are further enhanced by the details and immerse you in the battles. It is simply fun to dive into a good fight with such a great look.

For honor Screenshot 2

Ubisoft has even continued to improve the graphics with the “Marching Fire” update. Compared to the game’s early days, there are now:

  • redesigned textures with more details
  • more realistic reflections of the sun
  • a correct skybox
  • more intense colors

Additionally, all settings have been optimized. For Honor should not only look better due to these innovations but also require less performance, thereby running more smoothly.

For Honor Screenshot PC

Reason 4: Many active players

If you want to start playing For Honor, now is an ideal time. After recovering from the initial setback, according to Ubisoft, in February 2018 over a million players were playing For Honor simultaneously each month.

When our author Tom, who truly loves For Honor, wanted to jump back in after a break, player shortage was one of his concerns: Would I have to wait long for a match?

However, it turned out that so many players still play For Honor that there was hardly any waiting time.

More on the topic
For Honor – Is anyone actually playing it in 2018?
von Tom Rothstein

Many people still regularly play For Honor on Steam as well. In January 2019, there were an average of 5,590 players on Steam. Through a free promotion, in August 2018, the number of concurrent players even temporarily rose to 210,000 – just on Steam.

A similar success could come to For Honor on PS4 from the PS Plus promotion. So now is particularly worth checking it out, as you are likely to be playing with other newcomers and not immediately get beaten up by pros.

According to the quarterly report from July 2018, the PS4 is also the most important platform for Ubisoft.

For Honor Frostwinde 1

Reason 5: The development of For Honor continues

If you want to start playing For Honor now, you do not need to worry about server shutdowns in the foreseeable future. Ubisoft has already released plans for the future of For Honor, and there is no end in sight.

On January 31, the “Year of the Harbinger” begins, where Ubisoft has already announced the Black Prior as the new hero for the Knights. Ubisoft has also shown a roadmap with further content for 2019. Other planned contents include:

  • a new Samurai hero
  • a new Viking hero
  • another Wu Lin hero

There will also be seasons where players will continuously compete against each other. With each victory that you achieve, you supply your chosen faction with more support for an overarching battle for control of the most territories.

This battle is overarching across all platforms. The strongest faction will receive special rewards at the end of each round and for each season, consisting of cosmetics, chests, or steel. The losers will receive something as well, but less. (Steel is needed for purchases in the in-game shop)

WoW: The Weekly Reset could cost Method the First Kill of Jaina

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Guild Method is running out of time in World of Warcraft. Because after a week, the US players will receive a small advantage again.

WoW Jaina Writing a book because I can

Lady Jaina Proudmoore is a real challenge in the mythic mode of the Battle of Dazar’alor. She is currently the toughest boss in World of Warcraft and is being tackled by over 30 guilds, all eager for the World First Kill. So far, Jaina has survived for a week, and Method is very close to the First Kill – but time is running out for them before US guilds gain another advantage.

Weekly Reset strengthens US guilds: The weekly reset happens in America on Tuesday. This means that US guilds can dive into a “fresh” version of the Battle of Dazar’alor tonight. This gives them access to 8 bosses, each dropping new loot and thus better gear for the players. This item advantage for a few hours could be the tipping point that allows US guilds like Limit to achieve the First Kill.

In Europe, the Weekly Reset occurs a few hours later, on Wednesday morning.

If you want to follow the race live, you can watch the Guild Method here.

WoW Orc Jaina Attack title

How far is Method? Method’s best attempt has brought Jaina down to 9.9% of her health. If the mythic fight ends the same way as the other versions of Jaina, then only 4.9% is needed to defeat Jaina. Meanwhile, it’s unclear how far their competitors at Limit are, as they are not streaming their progress.

Does Jaina have a secret phase? It is currently unknown whether Jaina has an additional phase, as some final bosses do on the mythic difficulty. If that is the case, the various guilds would be further away from the First Kill than expected. Otherwise, the fight ends with 5% health remaining for Jaina, and that is within reach.

Do you think Method can still secure the First Kill before time runs out? Or will the earlier US reset provide US guilds with the boost they need for their First Kill?

Destiny 2: Player Completes All Triumphs – First Congratulations, Then Ban

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

A player shoulders a mammoth task in Destiny 2, but is subsequently banned from the triumph leaderboard and the Destiny Sub-Reddit for it. But why?

What happened? The “Black Armory” DLC has released all its content, and Season 5 only offers Guardians the Crimson Week. Many are now focusing more on long-term goals like titles, seals, and triumphs.

A few days ago, a Guardian in Destiny 2 managed to unlock all triumphs and seals currently available in the game. Due to bugs, the complete 100% is currently not possible.

After initially being praised by the community for this supposed achievement, a controversial discussion arose about the earning of some triumphs. This debate ultimately led to the player being banned from the Light.gg leaderboards and the Destiny Sub-Reddit.

d2 triumphs
Source: Reddit

What makes this achievement so special? When this achievement became known on Reddit, there was a flood of praise and recognition from other users. The thread quickly received over 4,000 upvotes. This is a true mammoth task that requires a lot of time, dedication, and luck.

The triumphs require mastering a wide range of tasks across all areas of Destiny 2 and are partly heavily reliant on chance. Fans have eagerly awaited who would achieve this first. Accordingly, the initial feedback was very positive.

Destiny 2 PvP

What was the problem with this achievement? With his success, the player climbed to rank 1 on the triumph leaderboard on light.gg, a well-known database and tracking site for Destiny 2. But shortly after, some skeptical fans examined the player’s account in more detail and found some discrepancies.

It came to light that the PvP performances of the player in Quickplay and in the competitive playlist varied greatly. He apparently earned the title “Unbroken” with a dominant playstyle and fought for 5,500 points for the final glory rank. However, his history in Quickplay was anything but convincing.

How was the cheating discovered? The community came to the conclusion that someone else must have taken over the competitive part in PvP on his account – whether it was someone he knows or a boosting service provider. Also, the teammates in the competitive list had neither played before nor after with him.

With this realization, some community members confronted the player. After initially resisting, he ultimately admitted that others had played on his and other involved accounts to help him reach the 5,500 glory points.

destiny-2-hüter-pvp

This then resulted in the ban on light.gg and in the Destiny Sub-Reddit.

This is what fans say after the ban: Numerous fans welcome this step. They see it as the best way to respond to such behavior. Some even called for a ban from Bungie, as the player had also violated the terms of service.

Even the founder of light.gg believes that this is cheating and that the player does not belong on the leaderboards – even if he likely earned many of the triumphs himself. They will now work on mechanisms to detect such irregularities more quickly.

However, some fans also pointed out that even if this is cheating, it does not warrant a witch hunt that apparently took place in parts. Insulting, threatening, spamming, or publicly shaming the affected player is not an adequate response from parts of the community. The founder of light.gg shares this opinion and emphasizes it clearly in his statement.

Apex Legends: This is how the microtransactions in the Battle Royale work

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Free2Play game Apex Legends was surprisingly announced yesterday and even launched. But how does the battle royale game actually get funded?

Free2Play with microtransactions

Here’s how to buy items: In Apex Legends there are three currencies:

  • Apex Coins – You buy these with real money to acquire Apex Packs
  • Legend Tokens – You earn this currency in-game with level-ups and it is used to purchase colors for legendary weapons and skins, or unlock new characters
  • Crafting Metals – You earn these in Apex Legends to craft skins and items
Apex Legends Screenshot

What do the Apex Packs offer? There are different packs that contain various items depending on their cost. For example:

Apex Legends Starter Pack for 4.99 Euro

  • 600 Apex Coins
  • Exclusive animated weapon skin Fresh Meat RE45
  • Exclusive Feed Frenzy badge

Can characters be purchased with Apex Coins? Yes, it is currently possible to purchase two of the eight characters for 750 Apex Coins each. However, you can also unlock heroes with earned Legend Tokens. You need to provide 12,000 Legend Tokens per character for that.

Why are players expressing concerns? The fact that characters can also be purchased is currently causing some skepticism. Although it is (for now) only two of the eight heroes available, it still leaves a somewhat bad aftertaste. This is because the characters (known as Legends in the game) have unique abilities, including an ultimate. How exactly this will affect the game remains to be seen.

The developers want to create a fair system, which is why drop rates for the loot boxes are to be disclosed. They also point out that characters can always be unlocked in-game Apex Legends and do not have to be purchased.

What do you think of the system?

The raid of The Division 2 now sounds like an MMORPG

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Shortly before the start of the first beta, Massive Entertainment revealed some new details about the raids of The Division 2. It apparently goes more in the direction of an MMORPG.

What happened? Currently, very little is known about the raids of The Division 2. In an interview with the site PCGamesN, the Creative Director of Massive, Julian Gerighty, has now revealed some fresh info.

In The Division 1, there was no good plan for the endgame, according to Gerighty. It took several updates until the endgame was even properly in place.

With The Division 2, that is now different. The game starts with a well-developed endgame. The raids are supposed to become the crown jewel of this advanced content.

What was revealed about the raids? The raids were already announced at E3 last year, but very little has been known about their size until now. It was said that they should be huge, but now there is a clue as to how much time a raid in The Division 2 will take.

Last week, PCGamesN was able to play missions that took up to an hour. However, according to Gerighty, the raids are “much, much larger” than the game’s missions. One will probably have to schedule a good amount of time for this endgame activity.

Furthermore, the raids will require a high level of coordination within the raid team. All 8 players must work together to master them successfully. There will also be puzzle elements. It should be a lot of fun to tinker with the solution and crack it.

The first raid for The Division 2 was designed by the same team that was already responsible for the Operation “Stolen Signal” in The Division. Puzzle elements were already used there. Many fans considered Lost Signal to be the best operation so far and claimed that this content would come closest to a raid in The Division.

A raid like in an MMORPG – can this work? This means that the raids in The Division 2 are increasingly moving towards the classic raids from MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. Because there, you also need a large team, a lot of time, and have to solve puzzle tasks.

What started well in The Division and was well received by fans is now apparently being consistently continued. Other shooters have also successfully implemented these characteristic MMO raid aspects.

The story is also supposed to be consistently continued: The campaign of The Division 1 was incredibly well received – Part 2 is supposed to connect

the division 2 screen trailer

That raids can also work in shooters is shown by the example of Destiny. For example, the raids of the Destiny series offer various team mechanics and puzzles that need to be mastered. The raids themselves are intended as top activities in the endgame and are popular with many fans.

When is the first raid supposed to be released? No exact start date has been mentioned. However, the first raid is supposed to go live “very soon after the launch” of The Division 2, according to Julian Gerighty. In the upcoming betas, unfortunately, the raid will not be available for testing.

More details about the private beta of The Division 2 can be found here:

Anthem: How Alliances with Friends Work

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

During the open demo of the online game Anthem, testers could collect Alliance XP. Bioware quickly stated that this is not related to guilds. But what do these points bring?

How important are Alliances

What is the Alliance system? Basically, it is a reward system. If you and your friends play an expedition (which includes missions, contracts, freeplay, and strongholds), you will receive Alliance XP at the end. Not only the points you earned yourself are counted, but also those earned by other players.

Anthem Javelin Gear Score
So far it looks quite “naked”: The Javelin view

Even the points of players on your friends list who are not with you count. These XP earn you rewards. However, as of now, only the points of the top 5 players are counted in the Alliance XP pool.

How do you get the rewards? At the end of each week, you will receive the in-game currency Coin. The number of coins you receive depends on how many Alliance points you were able to collect that week. Each player in the “Alliance” receives the currency. You then use the coins to buy cosmetic items for your Javelin.

Friends are important in Anthem

Is there a limit to Alliance XP? The more you play together with friends, the more points you collect. This will be displayed in tiers. The higher the tier you reach, the more coins you get at the end of the week. However, you cannot collect unlimited XP. There is a limit, which Bioware has not yet revealed.

Anthem-Bossmonster

What is the purpose of the Alliance system? Bioware wants to reward playing together with friends. Since friends who are not currently on a mission with you also contribute to the Alliance XP pool, this is intended to create an incentive to make friends with as many players as possible.

If you are already looking for Anthem players and potential alliances, then follow our Facebook page for Anthem.
 

Or join our Discord channel.

How do players perceive the system? The fans of Anthem think the system is good. However, it will need to be seen upon release whether some optimizations are necessary. However, players miss a guild system that they were actually hoping for from the alliances. Bioware stated that guilds will be added to the game at a later date.

What Happens in The Division 2 After You’ve Completed the Story

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

There is new information about The Division 2 and this time the focus is on the PvE endgame. Spoiler alert: If you absolutely don’t want to know anything about the campaign, you should not read further. 

Here’s what it’s about: At a press event last week, participants were able to play the contents of the private beta of The Division 2. Now, there is information about the content. One of the biggest pieces of news revolves around the Black Tusk. This faction is supposed to make your life difficult.

Who are the Black Tusks? Details are not known at the moment. Translated, the name means something like “Black Tusk”. Probably Ubisoft does not want to reveal story details yet.

It is known for sure that it is a particularly dangerous faction that has stronger equipment available than the others. This includes drones and four-legged robots. They are said to be the biggest threat to the Division, but this will likely only be revealed after the story.

Perhaps a mysterious villain from The Division 1 is involved, whose return has already been confirmed?

the division 2 black tusk

The Black Tusks invade Washington D.C.

When do the Black Tusks appear? As soon as you finish the campaign in the main game, the “Invaded Missions” will be unlocked. The Black Tusks take control of D.C., and you must drive them out by playing the missions.

From main to side missions, all activities can be taken over by the Black Tusks. But even outside of activities in the game world, you will encounter them.

This increases the difficulty, as they are stronger and more numerous than the other factions. Additionally, the AI is said to act smarter. However, there is also much better loot to be had. It reminds a bit of the legendary difficulty from The Division 1.

It is part of the PvE endgame to defend Washington D.C. against this faction. In a kind of continuous loop, the Black Tusk attempts to conquer places in D.C. and apparently appears again and again in different locations. This is supposed to provide enough variety for PvE players.

Is there more? In an interview with PCGamer, Creative Director Julian Gerighty indicated that this is not all: “Yes, this is a big part, but it is only one of several.”

Furthermore, content after launch is already planned, such as the 8-player raids that are supposed to challenge you, as the developers have already announced. All expansions will be free in the first year.

Ubisoft has introduced the Black Tusks in a video:

Mad Max greets: Vehicle MMO SteamCraft has started its Open Beta

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be Mad Max, fighting against his enemies with his homemade car in intense battles? SteamCraft gives you the chance to experience this in the Open Beta.

War of the Vehicles

What is SteamCraft? In the MMO, you build a combat vehicle in a steampunk setting, equipping it with an arsenal of weapons. With this moving fortress, you fight in fast-paced battles against other players to acquire new weapons and equipment. This allows you to continuously improve your vehicle. It sounds a bit like the vehicle MMO with battle royale mode, Crossout.

The fast battles with the self-built and tuned vehicles outfitted with weapons remind one of the Mad Max movies. However, it’s not about collecting gasoline here, but rather obtaining parts to upgrade the vehicle.

Steamcraft Screenshot 2
  • Build your personal combat machine through an interesting construction system, with which you can even battle your opponents in the air
  • Over 600 components and 40 weapons are available to you
  • In battles, it is possible to destroy specific parts of a vehicle
  • Multiple game modes, including deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag
  • You will have the opportunity to sell your self-built vehicles to earn in-game currency
  • You team up with other players to conquer and defend bases together

Test the Open Beta

How do you play? On the official website, you can get a key for the Steam version. You then redeem it in your Steam client, log in, and you’re already participating in the Open Beta.

How long can you play? The Open Beta will take place until February 8. The development team will then use the feedback to further improve the title.

Steamcraft Screenshot 1

When is the release? A specific date has not been mentioned yet. However, according to Steam, it is expected to be in February.

This is why players are still skeptical: The developers behind SteamCraft released the survival game Next Day Survival, which was plagued by numerous problems at launch. Even now, over a year after its release, the reviews on Steam are still mixed.

Apex Legends is the new Titanfall – But what about Titanfall 3?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In the course of the release of Apex Legends, Respawn commented on Titanfall 3. They stated that there is currently no other Titanfall project in the works.

What’s new? On February 4, Respawn Entertainment unexpectedly released Apex Legends. This is a Battle Royale set in the Titanfall universe. The developers spoke about their work on this project and explained that they are currently not working on Titanfall 3. Fans hoping for a timely release will have to wait a little longer.

Respawn was secretly working on the free battle royale game Apex Legends. In August 2017, Respawn’s CEO Vince Zampella stated that the team was still working on Titanfall even after being acquired by EA. Many believed that Respawn was working on a sequel to Titanfall 2. But that is not the case.

Titanfall 2 weapon

That’s why they decided against big advertising beforehand: At a press event for Apex Legends, Respawn producer Drew McCoy explained to Eurogamer: “The world believes we are making Titanfall 3. But we are not. This [Apex Legends] is what we are making.”

They did not want to convince a skeptical audience with trailers and hands-on articles, but rather let the game speak for itself. They just wanted to release the game and let players play, McCoy says.

Apex Legends should speak for itself.

That’s why fans hoped for Titanfall 3: When Titanfall 2 was released in 2016, it did not catch a good release window. The release was right next to the two shooters Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Due to the huge competition, Titanfall 2 did not sell well. The fans who played it were in love, but the sales figures were a flop.

That’s why they hoped that for Titanfall 3 a better release window would be chosen.

Titanfall 2 Prime Titans

When EA then acquired Respawn in 2017, it also became known that they were already working on a new Titanfall game. Fans were immediately hoping for the third part of the series. At that time, it was said, they were working on a Titanfall game, a Star Wars game, and a VR game.

In November 2018, there were many job postings on the EA website looking for people for a Titanfall project. Fans were again certain that it would be Titanfall 3. Their biggest concern was only the release window.

Now it is clear that the team is focusing all its attention on Apex Legends and is currently not working on Titanfall 3.

And this is what Apex Legends looks like:

WoW changes the Jaina fight to make it harder for Method

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

With a hotfix, Blizzard is trying to slow down the guild Method in World of Warcraft. They apparently used a strategy that the developers didn’t like.

Update: The hotfix has been reverted. Blizzard has reconsidered its plans.

Original report: The race for the “World First Kill” of Lady Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft is still in full swing. Almost 30 guilds are currently involved, trying to take down Jaina on the Mythic difficulty. However, one strategy seems to not sit well with the developers, which is why a hotfix has been implemented. Ironically, the favorites Method are being slowed down by this.

What has Method tried? Currently, Method repeatedly manages to reach the final phase of the fight. Their strategy so far involves ignoring all additional enemies, such as the water elementals, as much as possible and focusing maximum damage on Jaina.

WoW Jaina red glow title water elemental

The water elementals are only occasionally interrupted before they can cast their Frost Nova. Thus, it was a race against time for Method to see if they could kill Jaina quickly enough.

This is how Blizzard addresses the “problem”: The developers have now implemented a hotfix that has altered the water elementals. From now on, it is no longer possible to fully prevent the Frost Nova of the water elementals.

If players want to avoid the damage, they must kill the elementals in a timely manner, as they will cast their Frost Nova at 100 energy. Previously, this only happened if they failed to interrupt a water bolt. Ignoring the adds now leads to a quick death.

WoW Battle for Azeroth Jaina

Method will now have to adjust their method and take care of the water elementals. Other guilds hadn’t considered this methodology until now.

What do you think of this adjustment “mid-race”? Is it good that a change happens before a guild gets the kill? Or is it unfair to bring about a change specifically to trick a guild’s strategy?

Another guild is currently celebrating a heroic first kill – and they achieved it thanks to a hunter pet!

There are also double XP for catching Pokémon. With the best possible throw (excellent, curve, first time), you can get up to 1040 experience points.

Feldforschungen Pokemon GO Dezembe

Thus, trading is worth it twice. On the one hand, you can complete this quest, and on the other, you have the chance for increased lucky Pokémon.

Shiny Spoink and Groink in the game

There are numerous chances for shinies in the event. For the first time, you have the chance to get Shiny Spoink and Groink.

Shiny Spoink Pokemon GO

In addition to these new shinies, you also have the chance to find a shiny among other event Pokémon. Rapidash, Dratini, Ampharos, and Rockruff can all also appear in their shiny form. It is therefore ideal for shiny hunters.

If you are out and take advantage of the event, you will encounter these raid bosses:
