The medieval MMO Conqueror’s Blade opens its gates this weekend and allows players to take their first look at the game.
The new MMO Conqueror’s Blade gives players a first glimpse into the game world this weekend. We will reveal what to expect there and how to participate.
This is how you can test Conqueror’s Blade
When does the test run? On December 15th and 16th, all players will have the opportunity to test the medieval MMO.
You can play the siege test “Winter Madness”. You can choose a character and select from numerous weapon specializations. Additionally, each player receives a certain starting capital to equip their troops. Booming has provided new maps and units for the test.
In the attack scenarios, one troop storms towards the walls while the other troop tries to defeat the attackers and defend the wall.
How can I participate in the test? Interested parties just need to register at cb.my.com . There you need to provide your email, and you can participate in the tests.
What is Conqueror’s Blade? This medieval MMO is a mix of action and strategy MMO that is set to be released for PC. A release date is not yet known. However, this test is supposed to give you a first glimpse so that you know what to look forward to.
You lead your units into battle to defend or protect your territory. Additionally, you manage fortresses, cities, resources, and trade routes. You command soldiers from various cultures. The culture also determines which weapons and abilities can be used.
For many players an important question: Does my hero say something? For the new online game Anthem, there is now an answer: The character will have a voice. You will also be able to customize the hero, but not as much as in previous BioWare titles.
This is what BioWare says about the “mute” question: BioWare has answered one of the important questions: “Can the character speak?”
In an interview with Comicbook, Mike Gamble stated that in Anthem, the hero will indeed have a voice. You will not play a mute hero like in Dragon Age: Origins.
However, BioWare has not yet revealed much more useful information about what the voice will sound like or how it will be customized.
It is only said that Anthem will take the “traditional binary route”. This probably means that players will have the choice of whether to choose a male or female voice.
Should the player’s hero be able to speak, so as not to just stand by like a statistic while others advance the story?
Or should the hero remain silent, allowing players to imagine that they themselves are truly the hero who acts.
Customization of the actual character is possible, but not so extreme
This is what Gamble also says about character customization: In an interview with Comicbook, the producer promises that there will be many options for creating your own character – but not as many as in previous BioWare titles.
Fortnite: Battle Royale has received a new airplane and a sword in Season 7. This changes everything for our author Jürgen!
This was my first contact with the airplane: When the new Update for Season 7 came on December 6, 2018, I actually just wanted to quickly go online to check the locations of the “Dance Prohibition Signs” from the Week 1 Challenge for my colleague Patrick.
Spoiler Alert: I didn’t get far. When I finally landed, there was already an Ice King (who buys all Battle Pass tiers for a lot of money just an hour after the Season starts?) and wanted to grab the dance challenge as well.
Instead of dancing with me, he wanted to kill me with the pickaxe.
First contact with airplane
This is how the airplane surprised me: Suddenly, bullets were whistling around me everywhere. But it wasn’t an opponent with a rifle, it was a damn airplane! It flew straight at us and riddled me with bullets. The Ice King, in turn, jumped into the sea in his desperation and drowned pitifully.
Shortly after, I was able to watch an exciting aerial duel between the airplane and another flyer in spectator view. The two machines circled each other and shot each other to pieces. Eventually, one crashed due to stupidity and got stuck on the ground.
It’s just like in Battlefield!
“Wow,” I thought: “This is just like in Battlefield!” Until now, Fortnite was mainly a game for me where I ran around, built buildings, and shot opponents. That suddenly airplanes were attacking would never have occurred to me before.
That’s why the airplanes are great fun for me: The planes bring a new, silly flair to the game for me. This is due to the totally ridiculous way they behave in the game. Many players have no idea how to steer the things and constantly crash planes into trees or cliffs.
Players who can handle them bring a good dose of chaos into the game. Because then, you are never safe from the planes and can be taken out from the air at any time. And then there are also crazy stunts like the one where Ninja captures two planes.
The sword is pure chaos!
The sword is my new favorite item: However, I find the new sword even cooler. Just the epic battles over the location of the blade are a real blast, and you can always expect action at Polar Peak.
Once you finally have the blade in your hands, you feel incredibly strong. Although you can still die pretty quickly as a noob, you already have better chances and can cause considerable chaos.
In the round when I got it, I immediately took out three opponents in a row. Eventually, I did get caught, but my kill statistics had already improved quite a bit.
That’s why the new items are perfect for me: For me, Fortnite remains a huge enjoyment that I play happily without ambition after work. Whether I die right away or get a few kills doesn’t matter to me as long as I am entertained.
And with the new additions like planes and swords, the game becomes more fun and lighthearted for me. Now we just need Thanos to return and challenge an ultimate duel of Infinity Blade and Infinity Gauntlet! That should be a blast.
If you want to use the sword too, here you can find tips and the location:
The new Black Desert class Archer is playable worldwide as of today. The Archer is a purely ranged class that decimates enemies with a bow and crossbow.
The Archer is the first class that has access to powerful Awakening abilities from the start. Alongside the event, two XP events will begin, allowing you to pair a character with the Archer, both gaining experience simultaneously.
Leveling the Archer is worthwhile
Here’s what you need to know about the double XP event: Concurrently with the release of the Archer, an event in Black Desert grants double experience points to all players. To benefit from the XP bonus, all you need to do is log in to Black Desert.
Additionally, players can pair a class they have created with an Archer. The pairing of characters in Black Desert has been possible since mid-2018 and only works if one of the two characters has reached level 65. However, during the event duration, it is possible to do so with the Archer starting at level 7. Furthermore, the Archer shares experience points with the character it is paired with.
This is how XP sharing works: Pairing is possible up to level 60. Select the “Character Swap” button found in the left side of the screen next to the “Camping Tool” icon. There, you can mark a character. The character must be marked as the main character, and you only collect XP for the other character when playing with the Archer. The pairing can only be dissolved when you log in with the paired characters and redeem combat and talent XP.
Therefore, you can use the event to effectively level up a twink alongside the Archer or finally bring an existing character close to level 60. By the way, your paired character also receives XP beyond level 50. Just remember that PvP will be activated once your character reaches level 50 or higher.
Until when do the XP events last? The XP events start on December 12, 2018, and run until January 9, 2019. So you have plenty of time to actively gather XP until the end of the year.
The Archer can awaken from the beginning
Typically, players must first gain some experience with a class before gaining access to the most powerful abilities. Most classes can use their Awakening abilities starting at level 56. However, with the Archer, developer Pearl Abyss is taking a new approach. The class has access to the basic weapons, consisting of a glove and a crossbow, from the start. At the same time, it can immediately equip its Awakening weapon, a longbow. Fans have been waiting for the Archer class for 4 years.
In the embedded video, you can take a look at the abilities that it uses.

The Archer is just the beginning of updates aimed at making Black Desert a better game. Recently, developer Pearl Abyss announced that the controversial Renown System would be abolished. Evening players in BDO have a chance in PvP again.

With the “New Year’s Fest”, The Elder Scrolls Online celebrates Christmas and New Year’s together. Players can complete various tasks and receive great rewards.
During the New Year’s Fest, you can unlock style pages, collectibles, and a special Frost Astronach skin. We will show you how to obtain the skin. Additionally, there are double experience points.
Every race celebrates Christmas differently
This is how you start the holiday quests: Before you can dive deeper into the customs of the individual races, you need to get the New Year’s Fest scroll from the crown shop. Use the scroll in your inventory, which will give you a quest that leads you directly to the festive Nord, Breda, who is waiting for you in Windhelm.
These quests are available: You will receive one of nine possible quests that will send you all across Tamriel. For the quests, you do not need to have ESO Plus or own any of the DLCs. The following quests are available:
How long does the event last? The New Year’s Fest starts on December 13th at 4 PM and runs until January 2nd, 2019 at 4 PM.
Collect gifts and get rewarded
What the boxes contain for the New Year’s Fest: For successfully completing the quests, you will receive festive containers. The containers can contain various items:
A chapter about the style of the shapeshifter
A special recipe for the New Year’s Fest in the qualities green, blue, and gold.
Various collectibles, including a Nordic bath towel, a mud bag, and a Colovian fur cap.
Consumables, style, and crafting materials.
During the event, you can purchase various seasonal items in the crown shop. This includes a special house that lets you live in a snow globe.
How do I receive the double XP? You can complete a small quest for Breda, which rewards you upon completion with a memento that grants you double experience points during the New Year’s Fest. This bonus stacks with other bonuses from experience scrolls or the XP bonus from ESO Plus.
With the Crystal Frost appearance, you look like a Frost Astronach
This is how you unlock the Crystal Frost appearance: During the event, players can enjoy a special skin. The Crystal Frost appearance gives you the look of a freezing Frost Astronach. To obtain the skin, you must complete the achievement “New Charitable”.
For the achievement, you need to fulfill 12 charity writings. You acquire the writings with a certain probability when you submit one of the daily tasks of the New Year’s Fest to the NPC Breda.
In the gallery, you can take a look at the offerings of the merchants from whom you need to shop.
These crafting skills do you need: To fulfill the writings, you need to craft various basic furniture. You can obtain the blueprints from carpenters, blacksmiths, and tailors. For crafting, you need specific passive skills:
Tailoring 4. The talent is unlocked at level 15 in tailoring.
Carpentry 3. You can unlock this talent once you reach level 10 in carpentry.
Blacksmithing 2. You can unlock the talent once your blacksmithing skill reaches level 5.
Once you have all the blueprints and the corresponding materials together, you go to a crafting table and craft the item that the crafting writing specifies.

The 3 Best Players in TDW 13 by Overall Rating
Best Players: Salah (Liverpool) and Kanté (Chelsea): Both have an overall rating of 90. Salah is a lightning-fast striker with strong technique, evidenced by his 94 Pace and 91 in Dribbling. Kanté, on the other hand, is one of the strongest defensive midfielders and, despite his small stature, has impressive defensive values. Additionally, with 82 in Dribbling and a 79 Passing value, he is quite a balanced player who is not only valuable defensively.
Position 2 goes to Cancelo (Juventus Turin): The right-back is a very balanced player with high speed (91 Pace), good technique, and overall strong defensive values. His passing values are also impressive; even his shot rating of 71 is not bad for a right-back.
Position 3 – Fernandes (Sporting Lisbon): Bruno Fernandes is a central midfielder who stands out with his offensive values. With 85 in Dribbling and 87 in Passing, he is already a technically strong ball distributor, and his 82 in Shooting and 80 in Pace make him a goal threat in the center.

However, the chance is considered low; you need a lot of luck.

This Hearthstone record is unlikely to be broken anytime soon. The player Disguised Toast has accumulated over 20,000 armor in a match.
The latest expansion of Hearthstone, Rastakhan’s Rumble, has been live for a few days now. While many players are still trying to form a new meta and get used to the fresh cards, streamer and YouTuber Disguised Toast has implemented other plans. A crazy combination of cards provides him with seemingly infinite armor points.
Who is Disguised Toast? YouTuber Jeremy Wang is better known as “Disguised Toast” and became quite famous with Hearthstone. He is considered not only a good player but also a “mastermind” when it comes to discovering new card combinations. Time and again, he finds brilliant ways to end a game spectacularly or achieve seemingly impossible outcomes.
The Shudderwock is to blame again: The focus of his latest video is a Shaman deck with Shudderwock. This card imitates all battle cries that have already been played in random order. In combination with some new cards that grant armor each time, he creates an endless combination that brings him several hundred armor points every turn.
Only the turn limit restricts him: The only limitation to this combo is the turn limit. After a certain number of turns, a game simply ends, resulting in a draw.

A match lasting several hours: During his first attempts, a match lasted more than three hours. This is because Hearthstone plays all animations in sequence, making a single turn very long.
As the number of animations increases with each round, it stretches out. You can see Disguised Toast doing yoga exercises or reading and analyzing from “Romeo and Juliet” in the meantime.
Ultimately, he managed to exceed a value of 20,000 armor by restarting the game. Players will take a while to get through that.
What do you think of Disguised Toast and his crazy moves? Are these cool ideas or just willfully ruining the gaming experience?
A special honor for the new MMORPG Lost Ark. It is so popular in South Korea that it is now being used for a promotion with Nvidia the graphics card giant is leveraging the popularity of the MMORPG to advertise two graphics cards.
This is what is happening: The graphics card manufacturer Nvidia has entered into a partnership with the MMORPG Lost Ark. They are promoting the RTX 2080 and GTX 1060 3 GB graphics cards through the game.
Those who purchase the cards receive in-game currency for Lost Ark for free.
A press release has been issued stating that Lost Ark has been tested and optimized for GeForce graphics cards. The cards are designed to provide players with the best gaming experience.
This is remarkable: It is not big news, but it shows that Lost Ark is currently reaching a dimension in South Korea that makes it attractive for a giant like Nvidia to promote the game and attract a new audience.
How popular is Lost Ark in South Korea: We have already reported about how great the surge for Lost Ark is in South Korea. At the start of the open beta, there were 250,000 players online, later it became 350,000.
This led to long queues and some frustration. South Koreans demanded that developer Smilegate should exclude the Chinese.
This is what is currently happening in South Korea: A new patch for Lost Ark is being released today, which aims to improve class balance and the islands (Via reddit).
With the Winter Wonderland 2018 came a new balance patch for Overwatch. This adjusts Doomfist and Brigitte, among other things. Changes to Brigitte have been desired for a long time.
What has changed? With the patch from December 11 for Overwatch, both the Winter Wonderland event and some buffs and nerfs arrived. McCree was particularly buffed, as his alternate fire now does more damage.
The nerfs affected Brigitte and Doomfist. Doomfist can no longer control opponents as well and loses a bit of range. Although Brigitte heals more now, she has received significant reductions to her shield bash. This nerf prevents her from being able to kill Tracer with a combo.
Flankers can breathe easy
This is what happened to Brigitte: After Brigitte was almost hated by parts of the community, she received adjustments that many players had been calling for a long time. She loses much of her old playstyle.
This is what Brigitte’s changes mean: Brigitte can now heal more effectively, as she provides more healing over a slightly longer period. While the stronger healing may seem minimal, it should be sufficient to keep the team alive better.
The changes to her shield bash are the actual nerf that many of her opponents have demanded. Because Brigitte now does less damage with the shield bash, her popular combo is also weakened (shield bash, melee attack, whip shot).
Previously, she could deal 155 damage with the combo during the duration of the shield bash stun. Opponents with low hit points like Tracer were killed even at full health. This is no longer possible due to the reduced damage.
This is the situation for the other heroes: McCree now deals more damage with his alternate fire. “Fan the Hammer” adds 10 more damage per bullet. This allows McCree to more easily take down tanks and eliminate targets that jump right in front of him.
Doomfist loses range and thus damage on his seismic slam. The uppercut now stuns targets for only 0.6 seconds instead of 3 seconds. In addition, the damage of his ultimate in the outer area has been reduced, while the inner area has been increased.
The changes to Doomfist correspond to those that Jeff Kaplan hinted at during Blizzcon. They mean for players currently that Doomfist has to play more cautiously than before.
This is what the fans say: Reactions to the new patch are mixed. Many people celebrate the nerf of Brigitte, while others fear a trajectory like that of Mercy, who was continually nerfed and adjusted.
Brigitte has lost her status as a flanking healer. In forums, it is often mentioned that she now has to be played more defensively. However, she is now a valuable addition to her team.
There are primarily complaints regarding Doomfist’s changes. Very few players found him “too strong” before and do not find the changes justified.
How the discussion will develop remains to be seen. In recent times, disputes over new patches have usually subsided after a few days and weeks.

A small detail in the patch notes is upsetting many players of World of Warcraft. There was a change that few wanted.
The Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance for World of Warcraft is live and players are already battling through the new war campaign and attacking the Darkshore. However, part of the player base is upset about a specific change that Blizzard sneaked into the patch notes at the last moment:
Mythic Keystone can no longer be destroyed.
What was the benefit of destroying keystones? If someone destroyed a keystone, they had the opportunity to receive a new one again in the same week. They just needed to visit and complete another mythic dungeon. Suddenly, there was a fresh keystone.
That’s why players are angry: Most players of high-level “Mythic+” dungeons had gotten used to being able to destroy a keystone if they were forced into a “bad” dungeon. Especially the Shrine of Storms was extremely unpopular and was frequently sorted out by players. Other dungeons, like Atal’Dazar, were perceived as “very easy” by players and were often tackled at higher levels.
Why was this changed? There is no clear statement from Blizzard as to why keystones can no longer be destroyed. However, players speculate that Blizzard does not want certain dungeons to simply be avoided.
Whoever has received a specific keystone should either come to terms with it or use a group member’s stone. Permanently destroying and “releveling” a stone until the “right” dungeon finally appears is apparently not intended.
What do you think about this change to mythic keystones? Is it good and sensible for players to sometimes face an unpleasant challenge? Or should Blizzard revert the change?
The biggest update of 2018 for Elite Dangerous, Beyond Chapter 4, has been released. We will reveal what’s included in the update.
The developer Frontier has introduced several new features in the latest update. This was already announced in October.
The game now features “Squadrons”, where players can join online clans. Players can also expect improved mining and exploration mechanics in Beyond Chapter 4, which will change the gameplay.
We will show you all the new features and explain how they affect the game.
Look forward to these new features in Beyond Chapter 4
This is Squadrons: Fans have been waiting a long time for this feature. With the new update, the Squadrons feature finally arrives. This allows players to form their own groups and fly together through space in multiplayer mode. With your clan, you can wage wars and complete missions together. There’s also a leaderboard that measures the various groups.
How mining is improved: You will receive new tools for mining that can even blow up asteroids. You can then collect the remnants, which are significantly more rewarding than before. New mechanics are designed to make mining more exciting for players.
These are the new exploration mechanics: The analysis mode has been completely revised. The Exploration Discovery Scanner and Detailed Discovery Scanner have been improved, allowing you to scan and analyze celestial bodies in greater detail. A new probe will save you a lot of time. You can shoot this at planets to obtain a precise analysis.
What else is new? The developers also introduce two new ships in the press release. Additionally, the update is said to bring visual improvements and fix various bugs.
In the following trailer, players get a taste of the new update Beyond Chapter 4:

In the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, in Red Dead Online, some players complain about griefers. However, others have no problems with the bad guys at all and praise the community highly. In any case, the topic is currently being hotly debated.
This is meant by griefing: As griefing in online games actually refers to anything negative targeted at annoying or bothering other players.
“Grief Play” in PvE games is, for example, joining a group and not doing anything, but letting others carry you through.
In Red Dead Online, griefing refers to PvP behavior where one attacks others, pressures them with the lasso, or simply shoots them: classic player-killing.
The question is how widespread griefing actually is.
As the US site Kotaku reports, there are completely different reports about whether the game has a griefer problem or not:
Some experience wonderful things in the game. People treat each other kindly and spontaneously do things together, like starting fight clubs. On Reddit, there are numerous stories of wonderful encounters with other players.
Others, however, tell horror stories that they were shot immediately when they left the starting area. They are pressured with lassos and repeatedly killed by the same people, virtually prevented from playing.
Why is the player experience so different? Players discuss in forums why some experience such harsh trolling while others do not. Some had the idea that it varies from platform to platform, and that it’s more peaceful on Xbox One (via Reddit). Others believe that as the beta progresses, more “unfriendly” players join, perhaps from other games.
But above all, it seems to depend on chance whether you get trolled or left alone – depending on which players you meet. The “online experience” can change radically from session to session.
On our site MeinMMO, players complain, for instance, about “Fortnite kids” who have wandered into Red Dead Online. Others complain that they have no chance and are shot as soon as they log in because they are reported before they can even react.
This is the concern: The concern of players in Red Dead Online is that it will end up like GTA Online. The game is known for its trolls and difficult player base.
This is what players demand: Players have a number of suggestions on how Rockstar could deal with the problem:
there are demands for private sessions that not all players are allowed to join
or they wish for a “passive mode” that makes them immune to damage from other players
or at least they should remain hidden from others on the map
many could envision a bounty system that rewards players for taking griefers down
Until Rockstar does something, some players want to help themselves. They urge friendly players to whistle to each other.
Are there also counter-arguments? Some say: Folks, don’t be so sensitive. This is the Wild West. What else should one do here other than shoot other players?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has received an additional vehicle in Blackout mode with the latest update. The ARAV is an armored vehicle with a cool machine gun on the roof. Find out here how the new vehicle works.
What is the ARAV? The ARAV provides the Blackout mode of Black Ops 4 with another vehicle. The ARAV is an “Infantry Fighting Vehicle,” a light armored vehicle with a machine gun on a turret mount.
All information about the ARAV
What can the ARAV do? The new vehicle is slightly slower than the ATV, which has been the fastest vehicle in the game so far. It also ranks second behind the truck in terms of durability.
Where can you find the ARAV? So far, the vehicle has been found in the following locations:
Turbine
Array
River town
How many players can fit inside? The ARAV accommodates three players in the following positions:
Driver: The driver controls the vehicle.
Passenger: The passenger can stay safely inside the vehicle, shielded from shots. However, they can only use healing items inside. They can lean out and use weapons and items, but this exposes them.
Gunner: Here you operate the machine gun on the turret mount on the roof of the vehicle. The machine gun is powerful and has unlimited ammunition. However, it is also quite inaccurate, especially when the ARAV is speeding through the terrain. If you shoot for too long, the machine gun overheats and eventually breaks down.
This is what the ARAV looks like in action: In the embedded video, you can see how the new vehicle performs in the game. The machine gun is powerful when it locks onto a good position, but many shots miss when at full speed.

However, the ARAV is fast enough to drive into an advantageous position. Then, the gunner or passenger can disembark and finish off the opponent with their regular weapons.
This is the community’s opinion: On Reddit, players are currently divided on whether the ARAV is too strong, too weak, or just right.
One player complains that it is hard to hit anything and that the vehicle doesn’t absorb enough damage. Another player claims to have achieved almost 20 kills with the vehicle.
Night Elves in World of Warcraft can now have black eyes and a new skin color. We reveal how to unlock these changes.
The Patch 8.1 of World of Warcraft is live. In addition to all the many major contents of Tides of Vengeance, such as the upcoming raid Battle for Dazar’Alor and the Faction Assaults, there are also a few nice little things. One of them is the new customization options for Night Elves, which must be unlocked first.
What customizations are available? Night Elves can take on the visual appearance of the “Night Warrior” with Patch 8.1, a special form of Elune’s Wrath. This ensures that they have black eyes and a slightly altered skin color. However, gameplay-wise, there is no change to the characters.
How to unlock the Night Warrior customizations: Unlocking the new customizations is simple. After logging in, Alliance characters who have reached level 120 are to be found in Boralus. Tyrande’s owl flies by and has a quest for the players. They are then sent to Stormwind to listen to the War Council. After that, it continues seamlessly to Darkshore.
The quest chain is self-explanatory and each step leads directly to the next. Tyrande undergoes the transformation into the Night Warrior, which you can also see in this cutscene.

How to use the customizations: After completing the quest chain, you can visit a barber with your Night Elves. The new customizations are available there – you can dye your eyes black and choose a new skin color. Please don’t ask us how the barber manages that. It is certainly strictly secret Elven technology.

Will you use the “Night Warrior” customizations? Or is it too “edgy” for you, and will you remain a good Elf with silver or golden eyes?
InFortnite: Battle Royale has recently introduced an extremely strong sword in the game. This took many participants of a high-stakes tournament by surprise and resulted in complete chaos.
On December 11, 2018, the first day of the finals of the major tournament Winter Skirmish took place. The tournament is equipped with a prize pool of one million dollars. So it’s a lot of money for the best players who have qualified.
New weapon comes to the servers with no preparation time: However, on December 11, the Update 7.01 was released on the servers and also applied to the tournament. The biggest change of the patch was the new sword Infinity Blade. The blade is an overpowered weapon and the participating pros hardly had any time to deal with it.
Complete Chaos at the Tournament
How one player slaughtered his way to the top: Since hardly any of the participating pros wanted to miss out on the potential advantage of the sword, there were fierce battles for the blade. In the end, one player managed to prevail.

The player Psalm got his hands on the blade at the end of the game and went to work. In the ever-shrinking storm circle, his opponents could not escape, and he ruthlessly mowed them down. Even the fortifications typical in the endgame were effortlessly smashed by the blade.
Player wanted to demonstrate his point: In the end, Psalm had a massive number of kills and led the leaderboard with an astounding 17 points. In a statement, the winner said: “Sorry guys! I just had to show how ridiculous the sword is.”
Pros are upset about Epic’s update policy: While Psalm can celebrate his victory despite his misgivings, other pros are clearly frustrated. Player Bizzle states: “I can’t believe I spent all my time in Fortnite and then they drop 2 updates right before a major tournament. Huge loss of respect for Fortnite!”
Avery from Clan FaZe also finds the sword absolutely unfair. The sword and the planes may be nice for casual players, but have no place in competitive games. He even goes so far as to demand that Epic should repeat the tournament round and revert the patch.
This is what Epic says: So far, Epic has not commented on the sword and the discontent among the pros. There has only been a list of known bugs and issues. The next round of the tournament finals starts today, December 12. It will be interesting to see if Epic disables the sword here.
What is your opinion on the sword in tournaments? Should Epic ensure that everyone in the tournament gets the game they know and have trained for? Or is it acceptable and even exciting for the best players in the world to be faced with completely unknown situations?
The Riddle Masters of World of Warcraft are back in action. Join the hunt for the secret Brain Mount!
With the launch of Patch 8.1: Tides of Vengeance, the great secret hunting has erupted in World of Warcraft again. Players are eager for a new mount that the developers have hidden in the game world. We’re talking about the large, wobbly brain known as “The Hivemind” – or also “Das Schwarmbewusstsein”.
What is the Hivemind? The Hivemind is an extraordinary mount in World of Warcraft, even though the exact functionality is still unknown. However, the description in the mount guide from WoW indicates that players can “team up with other members of the Hivemind”. So it sounds like multiple mounts can connect with each other.
What has the community discovered so far? As of now (11:15 AM, 12.12.2018), the riddle masters are still completely in the dark and have not found any solid clues. They are currently combing through the game world for any possible changes that might ultimately lead them on the right track. Currently, some usable items have been found on the island of Tol Dagor that transform players into different creatures when clicked. Whether this is part of the riddle is still unknown.
Where is the riddle being solved? Those who do not want to solve the riddle alone and are proficient in English should quickly head to the “WoW Secret Finding” server (direct invite link) on Discord. Thousands of players have gathered there to work on the riddle like a real Hivemind. Information and hints are exchanged at lightning speed, allowing players to solve riddles quickly and effectively.
Once the riddle of the Hivemind is solved, we will, of course, publish a detailed guide on it.
In the past, the players from the “WoW Secret Finding” server have solved plenty of riddles and uncovered secrets. For many of them, we have published extensive guides:
On Twitter, Pokémon GO reflected on the Pokémon year 2018. In two tweets, they also mentioned the year 2019.
The social media department of Niantic provided a recap of the year 2018 over the last two days. They discussed some new features that were introduced in 2018, including the friends system and field research.
They also offered a small preview of 2019 and promised the trainers an exciting year ahead.
New Pokémon and Adventures in 2019
Niantic wrote: On the Twitter account of Pokémon GO, the social media department thanked all players for a wonderful 2018. They also spoke of future adventures, stating: “2019 marks the beginning of a new chapter in Pokémon GO for all of us. More adventures await you, trainers!”
Niantic support also reached out on Twitter, stating: “Finally, we want to show you how valuable your feedback and suggestions are, and we have some exciting (and currently strictly secret) improvements and new features in store to make 2019 the best year yet!”
Will new Pokémon be coming soon? In another entry on Twitter, Niantic spoke about the PokéDex that was filled with Pokémon from the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions in 2018. They then mentioned more Pokémon that we can expect soon: “We have a sneaking suspicion that more Sinnoh Pokémon will be added to your Pokédex soon…”
Will new Pokémon come in 2018? The tweet sparked a discussion in the community. Will new Pokémon perhaps even arrive in 2018? This is quite possible. Niantic has already confirmed a Christmas event. In 2017, some new Pokémon from Generation 3 were released during this event. Niantic might pursue the same plan in 2018.
In Battlefield 5, changes to the Time to Kill are occurring with the update on December 11. DICE is aiming to make as many players happy as possible with a feature. The ultimate question is: How fast should Battlefield 5 be?
What happened? A few weeks ago, DICE announced that changes to the Time to Kill (TTK) and Time till Death (TTD) in Battlefield 5 would be coming soon. It is about how quickly players die in Battlefield 5.
This announcement has since sparked heated and controversial discussions among numerous fans. While many fans consider the current status quo optimal, there are many who demand a higher TTK. They want to live longer.
What will change: As the developers recently announced in an official update in the Battlefield forum, the first adjustments to the TTK and TTD in Battlefield 5 will come on December 12.
Players should then already be able to notice the first significant changes to the TTK/TTD damage model.
Today, the TTK will likely be in stronger focus. As DICE announced, today’s changes will have a direct impact on the Time to Kill throughout the game, thereby providing a more balanced gaming experience for all players.
Since the TTK and TTD are closely interconnected, improvements to the Time till Death are also being worked on simultaneously. These pertain to netcode as well as damage and health feedback, according to the developers.
The list of specific changes is expected to be provided later today.
This is how Battlefield 5 aims to make everyone happy: The upcoming changes have been controversially discussed for some time. However, even as the calls for adjustments to the TTK and TTD have increased, the developers have not overlooked the fact that many players prefer the current state of the damage model.
Therefore, DICE is leaving the choice to the fans regarding how they want to play. For this purpose, a new playlist has been designed, which goes live today – “Conquest Core”.
There, players will still be able to play with the previous TTK model. This playlist is expected to evolve over time and represents the first step towards the traditional hardcore experience of Battlefield 5.
In the other playlists and modes, the first changes to the TTK and TTD will already be active today. The developers encourage all players to try out the new playlist and make a direct comparison with the new adjustments. This feedback is enormously important for the further development of the game, according to DICE.
What exactly is Time-to-Kill? Time-to-Kill (abbreviated TTK) refers to the time required to eliminate an opponent with a particular weapon while at full health.
What exactly is Time till Death? Time till Death (abbreviated TTD) is the time from your full health until death.
The latest patch for World of Warcraft is now live. We will tell you what has changed in Tides of Vengeance.
After long weeks of waiting, the latest patch of World of Warcraft is finally live. As of today (12.12.2018), players can dive into patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance and experience new content in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
Many things are available immediately: Numerous contents can be experienced right from day one. These include:
The new Warfront Darkshore. The Alliance can immediately gather resources, while the Horde controls Darkshore and can complete world quests there.
The faction incursions – Various areas will be subject to faction attacks that offer new world quests
The Azerite vendor is here. Those who wish can specifically farm Azerite armor and be prepared for any eventuality.
Many contents will come later: Many contents of the patch will, however, only be unlocked in the coming weeks and months. For example, the raid “Battle of Dazar’alor” will not begin until late January. Then, the new PvP season will also start, and the difficulty of all dungeons will be increased.
There is also a second raid under the Shrine of the Storm – but we will probably have to wait until Spring 2019 for that.
Fans are disappointed: Many players are already disappointed with the patch before they have even played it. This is because Blizzard has not addressed fundamental issues, and some classes are still waiting for their revamp, which was intended for patch 8.1. For these players, WoW is probably only interesting again when the next major patch arrives.
If you want more information about the detailed changes of patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, we refer you to our large overview of patch 8.1.
Are you enjoying patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance and checking back regularly? Or have you turned your back on WoW and will only return with the next expansion?
