Misdeeds quest drives everyone crazy in Destiny 2 – This is what Bungie says

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Is there the Exotic Quest for the Hand Cannon Service Step only in the final Curse Week – that is, in a 3-week cycle for Destiny 2? Bungie has now provided an official answer.

Recently, the Curse over the Dreaming City reached its peak. In the final Curse phase – that is, the third week – the Exotic Quest for the Service Step went live.

Is the quest available only every 3 weeks? To get this quest, you must kill a special Ascendant Primeval in Gambit mode. However, this spawns randomly and some Guardians have had no luck so far. But the third week is slowly coming to an end and many fans are now wondering if this boss can only be found and killed every three weeks. Now Bungie has clarified the situation.

Chance for the Service Step remains, but fades with the Curse

Chance remains, but decreases: In a post on Reddit, Community Manager Cozmo has now confirmed that the chance for the Service Step quest remains even after the peak of the Curse, that is, after the end of each third week. However, the likelihood of the Ascendant Primeval spawning is higher during the final third Curse week.

destiny-2-dienstvergehen

Community dissatisfied: After Cozmo’s response, numerous fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the quest. Not only are many unhappy with the design decision to tie such a quest completely to chance – some players feel the spawn rate of the boss is also lacking.

Some players report more than 100 Gambit matches and over 30 hours of pure Gambit playtime in recent days, yet the Ascendant Primeval remains elusive – and this is during the third Curse week, where the spawn rate is said to be highest. What the chances are like in the remaining two weeks is something they don’t even want to think about.

Additionally, it has been reported that the Service Step quest is occasionally buggy. For instance, one team managed to finally encounter the relevant Primeval and even take it down first, but the victory was credited to the losing team – despite the fact that they hadn’t summoned the boss at all.

https://twitter.com/GlitchhR/status/1045871813610418177

Community Manager Cozmo has stated that he has communicated the Guardians’ concerns regarding the spawn rate to the development team. Whether or how Bungie will respond to the (further) feedback remains to be seen.

The Curse changes the Dreaming City

What’s going on with the Curse? After the Raid “Last Wish” was initially overcome, a curse was unleashed that spread over the Dreaming City. This curse has since expanded and reached its peak in the third week. According to Bungie, this 3-week cycle will now continue.

destiny-2-malfeasance-quest

The important thing is: The endgame activity The Shattered Throne is only available during the final Curse phase – that is, when the Dreaming City is completely afflicted by the Curse. The quest for the Exotic Bow Wishender is tied to this new activity and can therefore only be obtained every three weeks. Until recently, it was unclear if this also applied to the exotic Hand Cannon Service Step.

On October 10, it will happen, then you will experience the universe of MapleStory in a new way. Instead of playing from a 2D side-scrolling perspective, as is the case in the successful first part, you are now in a 3D world.

This is shown in the trailer: The video is a compilation of scenes from the game and live events that fans have participated in. The motto of the video is “The Road so far” and aims to show how far the MMORPG has come so far.

There is an early start: If you don’t want to wait until the official EU release on October 10, you can dive into the adventures today with a founder’s pack purchase and start the download right away.

There will be a patch for the head start: The patch introduces a fan-requested improvement for mouse and keyboard controls. Some players had complained about this during the beta. Additionally, there are several other adjustments and bug fixes.

  • Actions were simply canceled when the mouse was moved
  • The characters sometimes could not find their way to the clicked target
  • The pathfinding while flying led to strange paths that the characters took
  • The PvP arena had to be temporarily disabled to resolve some issues

This is how players react: Many players are excited about the release of MapleStory 2. During the beta, fans could see how Maple Story 2 steadily improved. However, Nexon still needs to get a grip on the problem with cheaters.

So player MushroomMurder says in the official forum: “The fact that Nexon has done nothing against exploiters and cheaters has ruined all the hype for me.”

Exgia argues: “As someone who played both betas and saw the improvements, I’m very hyped. It’s like watching a baby grow. “

How to play the Troll deck “Togwaggel-Druid” correctly in Hearthstone

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A Druid deck from Hearthstone causes despair for players. It uses a nasty trick and steals all options from the opponent.

In Hearthstone, funny deck ideas keep emerging that rely on a combination of various mechanics that result in great effects. Currently, there is a Druid deck that utilizes such a mechanic. We want to introduce you to the “Togwaggle Druid” deck today.

[vc_toggle title=Deck Code] AAECAZICBpvoAlaa7gLk+wKZ0wL96wIMmNIC6QHkCL/yAp7SApTSAoTmAkDb0wJfoM0Ch84CAA==[/vc_toggle]
Deck Cost: 9960 Arcane DustHearthstone Dreampetal Flourist title

How does the deck work? The deck primarily uses two mechanics from two legendary minions. The first is King Togwaggle. With him, you can swap your deck with the opponent’s for 8 mana. However, the opponent receives a spell that allows them to swap the decks back.

This very possibility is what you want to deny the opponent.

For this, it is either necessary to play King Togwaggle when the opponent already has a full hand (then they cannot receive the spell) or to use a second variant: Azalina Soulthief.

This legendary minion swaps your hand for a copy of the opponent’s hand. This means you also get the swap card! If the opponent now swaps the decks back, you can do it one more time yourself.

The difficulty: Basically, there are two problems when implementing this mechanic. These are the two possible “win conditions,” one of which must be fulfilled at the right time.

  • The opponent must have 10 cards in hand.
  • King Togwaggle and Azalina Soulthief must be played in the same turn.

Both win conditions can be brought about in several ways.

Hearthstone Azalina Soulthief title

Full hand of the opponent: If the opponent already has many cards in hand, you can fully fill your hand with Circle of Nature.

Togwaggle and Azalina in the same turn: The weapon Branch of the World Tree generates 10 mana as a death rattle. You should thus first play Togwaggle, then hit with the branch (it loses its last durability), and can then play Azalina.

Alternatively, you can hope for the Dream Petal Flourist. This is a minion that reduces the cost of a minion in hand by 7 at the end of the turn. Then, Togwaggle and Azalina can also be used in the same turn.

Overall, the deck is quite successful, but it is also great for “trolling” and simply having a lot of desperate opponents. If you want to try something new, you should best get your hands on the deck yourself!

What do you think of the deck? Do you find such a strategy exciting and interesting? Or is it very “cheesy”?

If you need solid decks in the Standard format, we have some suggestions for you here.

The flying island in Fortnite has reached its 1st target – This is what happened

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the new flying island is apparently activating the runes. Last night, the island reached a rune for the first time, changing the world a bit.

The cube is now an island: Interdimensional rifts formed a space cube in Season 5 of Fortnite. It then rolled slowly across the map, marking mysterious runes on the map, until it sank in Loot Lake.

In Season 6, the Loot Lake rose into an island that can fly. The slow cube has thus become a hovering island, and it will likely activate the runes.

On Sunday, we speculated: What will happen when the island reaches the first rune? Now we know.

What it means for players

This is what happened: Last night, the island arrived at a target for the first time: The rune was located west of Loot Lake. When the island reached its target, it created purple craters in the area. Players can jump off from them.

A kind of volcanic landscape has formed. The volcanoes seem to be blowing the “corruption” into the world. Additionally, a piece of the area with the rune has been pulled upward, creating a smaller flying island there.

It is now possible for players:

The island reached the first rune and changed it four days after the start of Season 6. It will be interesting to see what happens when it reaches the next six runes. After the space cube took so much time in Season 5, it seems to be starting faster now.

Map changes in Season 6 continue

Other strange things are happening: As players report, this is not the only map change in Fortnite. Apparently, smaller purple cubes are now appearing under the house on the flying island.

What Saurfang and “Zappy Boi” are up to in Patch 8.1 of World of Warcraft

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the upcoming Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance of WoW, the story of Saurfang continues. We’ll tell you what the old Orc is up to.

Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance of World of Warcraft advances the story of the war between Horde and Alliance. But there is also information about an old Orc who was imprisoned with the start of Battle for Azeroth. What players can expect from Saurfang in the upcoming patch, we reveal here.

WoW Saurfang Cinematic title 1

Spoiler Warning: If you do not want to know what happens with Saurfang in Patch 8.1, you should not read on.

Escape from the Alliance: Sylvanas has a special mission for the player. She has heard that Saurfang has escaped from his prison (he was imprisoned in Stormwind) and still needs to hide in the vicinity of Stormwind. She sends the player along with a dark ranger, Zekhan (whom everyone knows as “Zappy Boi”) and some soldiers to find Saurfang.

The mission is to bring Saurfang back. He must not “fall into the hands of the enemy” again.

WoW Zekhan Zappy Boi 5

After a longer search, the players find Saurfang, who does not want to come with them. The dark ranger, who has direct instructions from Sylvanas, wants to kill Saurfang on the spot if he continues to refuse. Zekhan joins Saurfang and (probably with the help of the players) manages to kill the dark ranger and the other Horde soldiers.

Courage for the Horde: However, Saurfang continues to decide not to show himself. He tells Zekhan that he must return to the Horde. He should pretend to have been defeated by Saurfang, which is why Saurfang also gives Zekhan a good beating.

Furthermore, Zekhan should “tell everyone who wishes for the honor of the Horde to be restored that they must not give up hope”.

WoW Sylvanas Warbringer Screen 1

Zekhan and the player then return to Sylvanas. She reacts skeptically that Zekhan is only slightly injured and wonders how Saurfang could supposedly take out the whole troop alone, but for now leaves it at that.

Please keep in mind that this information is still from the PTR. Details may still change before the release of the patch.

Our extensive overview reveals what else Patch 8.1 brings.

What do you think of Saurfang’s actions? What do you say about the re-emergence of Zekhan? What could Saurfang’s plans be?

What is it about? Join together with characters from the Mario games that you have selected on a virtual board game. In over 80 minigames, you have to prove your skill with the Switch controllers.

The minigames offer a lot of variety. While pedaling on small tricycles, you should move the Joy-Con controllers in a circle – stamina is key if you want to cross the finish line first. Other mini-games require full-body involvement when you have to mimic poses while dancing or march like in a parade.

You don’t have to play against each other necessarily. Cooperative modes like rafting test your teamwork skills. There is also an online mini-game mode.

The best exotic armors in Destiny 2 that you already have

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 7 minutes

Since the Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken, new exotic items have become scarce. Therefore, Guardians have compiled exotic armors from year 1 for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks. These are the best exotic armors that Guardians already have and that can still make an impact in Forsaken.

Forsaken has made exotics in Destiny 2 rarer again. This is a circumstance that not all players are happy with, as many have not seen any exotic items since the release of the expansion.

The community in the Destiny subreddit has therefore compiled some Year 1 items that harmonize with the new class abilities. Particularly Titans and Hunters will greatly benefit.

Old Items for New Abilities

What is the problem? With the first major expansion Forsaken, Bungie has significantly tweaked the drop rate of exotic items. Exotics are meant to be a rarity, rewarding players.

So far, Xur has not had anything new for the players. The new exotics from the expansion are said to be brought by the old Spaghetti face at a later time.

destiny-2-warlock-beam

No Gear for New Abilities: Since Forsaken has also introduced nine new ability trees for the classes, some players are particularly disappointed. For example, they play Spectral Blades Hunters or Chaos Reach, the new Arc tree of the Warlocks, but have not yet obtained the new exotic armor pieces tailored to these abilities.

For this reason, the community in the Destiny subreddit has come together and made a few recommendations for Year 1 exotics. Hunters and Titans are particularly fortunate here, as they have the largest selection of “old” gear pieces.

[toc]

The Best Year 1 Armor for Titans

Titans are lucky here: The community has already found exotic armor pieces for all new class paths. Solar, Void, and Arc Titans should all find something for themselves.

Insurmountable Skullfort

destiny-2-titan-schädelfeste

With the Insurmountable Skullfort, Arc Titans become true kung fu monsters in PvP. Through the perk Transfusion Matrix, kills with Arc melee abilities trigger health regeneration and also restore melee energy.

Since the class shoulder charge is a one-hit kill with the expansion, Titans receive nearly unlimited melee energy. This makes the helmet a good all-rounder for all Arc Titans and was already incredibly strong before Forsaken.

Dunemarchers

The perk Linear Actuators allows Titans with these stylish boots to run faster. Sprints also build up a static charge. After a melee attack on an enemy, this charge causes a damage chain to nearby foes.

Players recommend the boots for the new Titan paths Code of the Devastator and Code of the Missile.

Dunemarchers-2

Code of the Devastator allows the Solar Titan to throw hammers with his melee attack, which remain in the world and can be picked up again. When the hammer is picked up again, the Titan immediately receives all melee energy back and regenerates life.

With the Dunemarchers, the Titan’s melee hammers also receive the damage chain and can therefore deal enormous damage to large groups of enemies repeatedly. In the community, this combo is already referred to as “Thor”, like the hammer-throwing god.

With Code of the Missile, the Titan can perform his melee attack in the air to strike down and trigger something like a mini chaos fist. This attack regenerates some super energy. With the Dunemarchers, the “Ballistic Impact” also benefits from the damage chains and wipes out entire groups of enemies – or Guardians.

Doom Fang Pauldron

These gloves benefit Void Titans and especially the new Path Code of the Commander. Melee attacks from this talent tree not only trigger explosions but also attach detonators to enemies. When these explode, further detonators are attached to all remaining enemies within a radius.

destiny-2-exotic-doom-fang-pauldron-2

The Doom Fang Pauldron charges super energy through the perk Doom Horns with Void melee kills. In addition, melee kills while Sentinel Shield is active charge Shield Throw, extending your super with hits.

According to players, with the right timing, one can generate nearly unlimited super energy.

Good Year 1 exotics for Hunters and Warlocks can be found on the next two pages.

In The Division 2 sollen Waffen-Talente viel Einfluss auf Eure Builds haben

The Dev Blog for The Division 2 gives us the first info about the weapon talents and the Exotics. This is what you need to know.

Recently, Massive released the first entry to the Dev Blog for The Division 2. This discusses everything related to weapon categories, mods, and grenades.

There were also some details about the weapon talents. These are supposed to have a greater impact on your builds.

For the first time, we also received info about the Exotics and what the developers are aiming for with these in The Division 2.

How weapon talents are being revised

In The Division 2, weapon talents are supposed to be significantly more complex and thus have a greater influence on your builds.

New requirements for weapon talents: In The Division 2, almost anything can serve as a prerequisite to unlock a talent. Whether it is

Thus, not only your specialization influences which talents you unlock, but also your gear and weapon choice can be crucial. What all weapons have in common are the so-called “Gameplay Themes”.

What are the “Gameplay Themes”? Every weapon has a specific “theme”. This should clarify to players the utility of the weapon and whether it fits their desired playstyle or not.

Unfortunately, the blog does not specify what exactly this is about.

Weapons receive display aid for talents

Additionally, all weapons will receive an Augmented Reality Tracker.

What is the Tracker about? This gadget is supposed to provide players with certain display aids in combat depending on the talent, such as how many hits are needed to activate a talent. This should make them clearer for the players.

Something similar was already present in The Division 1 with the Predator set. To activate the set bonus, one has to land ten hits. The missing hits are displayed by a counter on the weapon.

Pokémon GO: Niantic extends time for regional egg event

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Niantic has extended the time in which Kangaskhan, Tauros, Porenta, and Pantimos can hatch from the 7 KM eggs in Pokémon GO.

What’s new? Due to the Ultra Event in Pokémon GO, regional Pokémon Kangaskhan, Tauros, Porenta, and Pantimos are currently hatching from the 7 KM eggs. Initially, this was only supposed to be active until the end of September. However, Niantic unexpectedly extended the duration of the event by another week.

Regional Pokémon from 7 KM Eggs – How long?

How long will the Regionals stay in eggs? On Pokémon GO’s social channels, the developers announced that the regional Pokémon Porenta, Kangaskhan, Pantimos, and Tauros can be hatched from the 7 KM eggs until October 8.

How do you get these eggs? You receive the 7 KM eggs by opening gifts from friends. There is a chance to receive a 7 KM egg along with other items such as Stardust or Poké Balls. Therefore, it is advantageous to have many friendships in Pokémon GO to replenish your egg supply.

Normally, trainers find the regional monsters in Pokémon GO in these regions.

Not only regional monsters in the eggs: If you hatch these 7 KM eggs, there is also a chance that other monsters will hatch. Alolan Pokémon such as Meowth, Diglett, Sandshrew, Vulpix, Geodude, or Grimer can also be included. Additionally, Tangela and Porygon could also be the result of hatching.

Pokémon GO Update Alola

What are the chances of Regionals: There is a higher chance of receiving an Alolan Pokémon from a 7 KM egg than hatching a regional Pokémon. We have listed the hatching chances of the 7 KM eggs here.

After the event, you can still hatch the Regionals: The contents of the eggs are determined the moment the eggs land in your inventory. Therefore, if you receive the 7 KM eggs from a friend’s gift until October 8, you can hatch them at any time. As long as the eggs come from the event, regional Pokémon can hatch from them.

Did you hear that? The best Pokémon GO player has been banned for 30 days.

Data miners find clues about the 2nd trap and evil skins in Fortnite

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Patch 6.0 is being thoroughly examined for news, and data miners have made some discoveries. They found a second trap with a freezing effect and hints about the “dark” skins that players have been waiting for weeks.

Patch 6.0 is under investigation: Every time a new patch goes live, numerous data miners are already digging into every last piece of code. Along the way, data miners continually stumble upon clues about what might happen next in Fortnite.

However, there is no confirmation whether and when these hints will actually come to fruition. But we will show you what data miners have found in the files of Patch 6.0 .

Freeze Trap

Freeze Trap discovered: There is a specific hint this time about a new item for Fortnite Battle Royale. It is the Freeze Trap, which you may already know from Save the World.

The Freeze Trap is supposed to deal minor damage to players and slow them down. Unlike the current “Spike Trap,” which kills many players immediately, it would act more as a supportive element.

The attacker would then find it easier to eliminate a shock-frozen opponent who can only move at a snail’s pace.

https://twitter.com/FNBRLeaks/status/1045613772595957761

The catch with traps in current Fortnite is how to get opponents to fall into one. In Fortnite: Save the World, there is a whole arsenal of ceiling, floor, and wall traps – in “Battle Royale” so far only the Spike Trap.

If the Freeze Trap comes in one of the next updates, it will likely have a rarity grade of rare (blue).

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 5 minutes

More and more players in Pokémon GO are reaching the maximum level of 40. However, many trainers lose their motivation to play upon reaching it. We will show you tips and tricks to keep you motivated.

Why do people still play when they have reached the maximum level of 40 in Pokémon GO? This question is being asked by more and more players as more and more players reach level 40.

How do you reach level 40? With 20 million experience points, you reach the maximum level. You can increase your experience points by catching Pokemon, spinning Pokéstops, and especially through raids. After level 40, you only collect experience points for yourself, as there is currently no level beyond 40.

Pokemon GO

Why should you continue playing after level 40?

Reaching the maximum level does not mean you are done with Pokémon GO. Other games simply end at the last level, but in Pokémon GO, you can play indefinitely.

But why? We will show you some reasons why level 40 is certainly not the end.

Community: The biggest factor is likely the community. A large part of the players is a member of a raid group or has made new friends through playing. If you have a particularly great community around you, you would only be annoyed if you stopped playing. Playing is much more fun with other players. Go hunting together with other players and make friendships. Those who have not found a community yet can look for playing partners in our Facebook group.

Improving Pokémon: Just because you are level 40 doesn’t mean you necessarily have incredibly strong Pokémon. Collect stardust and catch Pokémon with good IV values. Continuously improve your battle teams and deploy them against the respective new raid bosses. There are many Pokémon that are very useful in raids or for defense. Try to obtain these with good IV and level them all up.

von Noah Struthoff

Events: Niantic continually brings new events into the game. Make use of these events to earn candy and a lot of stardust. Also, the Community Days, such as next month with Tanhel, are great opportunities to rediscover your motivation.

Medals: A goal could be to gild your medals. Niantic has brought three new medals into the game with the trading system. Now it’s time to advance these. Especially the “Teenager” and “Fisher” medals present challenges for trainers. You need to catch 300 tiny Rattatas or 300 large Magikarp. Bringing these medals to gold status is indeed a significant achievement.

Pokedex: The motto of the Pokémon series was always “Gotta catch ’em all!” True to this motto, it is every trainer’s task to complete their Pokedex. Through trading, you can now obtain regional Pokémon without having been in the respective countries. It is now easier to complete the Pokedex.

Level increase: Niantic has already hinted that level 40 is not the final maximum level. So start collecting experience points diligently, so that you are well prepared in case of a level increase. When the increase comes, then it is possible that you may level up.

Set your own goals: Also set your own goals! Just because Niantic hasn’t designed the game for extreme players doesn’t mean you can’t play it extremely. Goals could be:

  • Catching a certain number of Pokémon in a timeframe (150 per day)
  • Successfully completing at least one raid every day
  • Improving your gym battle medal

Collecting stardust is the real goal

Reaching level 40 doesn’t really advance the player. You receive no advantages or other bonuses. Reaching the level has more of a symbolic meaning. Collecting stardust and strengthening your Pokémon advances a trainer much more. Just because there’s a 40 on your screen doesn’t mean you’ve reached everything in the game. There’s still so much for you to discover in Pokémon GO.

Pokémon GO stardust
Stardust is the most important resource in the game.

This is what our author Noah thinks about it

I have been level 40 in Pokémon GO since August 2017 and mainly play in a small town in Hesse. I have already gathered 73 million experience points, which is over 50 million XP more than what is needed for level 40. In my town, I am often asked why I still play, and especially why I am still so active. After all, I should have achieved everything in Pokémon GO.

The community is the most important thing: For me, Pokémon GO is much more than just a mobile game. Through it, I have met many of my best friends, with whom I do more than just play Pokémon GO. That’s why the community is the main reason I continue to play so actively.

Set goals: I also consciously set myself goals in the game. I want to catch 100,000 Pokémon and complete over 1,000 legendary raids. Especially these two goals drive me outside the most.

Pokémon GO Caught Noah

Utilize events: During every stardust event, I spend hours collecting stardust. For me, there’s nothing more important in the game than this dust. I love strengthening new Pokémon and adapting my battle teams to the new opponents.

Pokémon GO Stardust Event Title Guide

After reaching level 40, nothing has changed in my play style. Although I have a 40 on my screen, it could also be a 20 or 30. That doesn’t matter to me. I play Pokémon GO mainly because I stay in contact with friends and at the same time I am also outdoors. It doesn’t get better for me than that.

Find your play style: Everyone should find their own play style. In my opinion, however, reaching level 40 means that practically nothing has happened in the game. One should play because it’s fun and not because one is striving for a maximum level.

Are you already level 40? What are your goals in the game?

Artifact Weapons and Siege – What Awaits You in Rend 2018

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The new survival game Rend will soon receive several updates. The developers promise many new features and improved gameplay.

Rend roadmap: The Rend developers, Frostkeep Studios, have published a roadmap for fall and winter 2018. This outlines upcoming features such as sieges and new gear, as well as a new patch policy.

Rend harvesting screenshot title

Better combat in Rend

Legendary gear: Rend is a survival game set in Norse mythology. Players find themselves in a picturesque landscape where mythical beings such as Draugr roam.

This fantasy will now be expanded in Rend. Upcoming features include legendary items such as weapons and armor, deriving from Norse mythology. They are said to be able to change the “balance of power.”

Rend-Artifact-Armour

With this, Rend solidifies its planned status as a great survival MMORPG. It is not yet known which legendary artifacts will come, such as Thor’s hammer Mjölnir or Odin’s spear Gungnir.

Rend will be adapted to “modern shooters”: The weapons in Rend have so far been entirely ranged weapons. You have the choice between:

  • Bows
  • Crossbows
  • Repeaters
  • “Spike Launchers”
  • and “Shard Blasters”

Specifically, the abilities of creatures will now be changed to make combat a bit more interesting. The weapons and combat will also receive aesthetic and gameplay improvements to adapt the game more to “modern shooters.”

Rend-Frost-Giant

Improved combat between factions: In addition to the already improved combat system, the PvP should also be enhanced. Previously, it was possible to storm enemy bases at certain times, usually when they were already weakened by NPCs.

In future updates, there will be “dynamic sieges,” which should find factions in a more active combat setting. Siege weapons like catapults are to be integrated into the game.

More on the topic
Early Access von Rend wird das komplette Survival-MMO umfassen
von Andreas Bertits

To ensure more unity within the factions, the social system will also be revised. Players of a faction can form groups to experience PvE and PvP content together.

Instead of leaving the decision to “elders,” there will be access requests and a voting system. Crafting and storage will also be revised to make them clearer within the faction.

The complete roadmap in English can be found on the official website of Rend.

More updates in Rend

Better patch policy: The developers of Rend initially released smaller patches weekly. However, to address larger issues and deliver new features, patches are to be released less frequently but provide more content.

More information from the developers: For each of the topics, a special, in-depth article will be released during development, in which the respective developers will discuss the features.

When will the updates be released? The roadmap refers to “fall and winter 2018.” There are no exact dates yet. Rend itself has been in early access since July 2018 and has been playable since then.

Fortnite Merchandise: $400 Battle Bus and Funko Pop Figures

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Now Fortnite also has its own Funko Pop figures. In the USA, the distinctive collectibles are already available for pre-order. The highlight of the toy offerings for Fortnite is, however, a giant inflatable Battle Bus. We present to you what kind of merchandise for Fortnite is available.

What is Funko Pop? Funko is an American company that produces “pop culture relevant” collectibles.

Funko PoPs are a series of figures with oversized heads on skinny bodies. They are therefore merchandise and collectible figures with a distinctive look: fan items for franchises.

There are Funko Pops for just about everything: Harry Potter, the Masters of the Universe, “Back to the Future” and recently, of course, also for Fortnite.

Even Destiny has figures in the Funko Pop style.

Funko-PoP

Funko Pop as Merchandise for Fortnite

Now also for Fortnite: As Epic and Funko announce, the first lineup of Funko PoP figures is now known. Pre-orders have already started in the USA. The figures are expected to be delivered in December.

The deal has been in the works for a while and some fans have been waiting for these figures.

  • and many more

The figures cost around $11 in the USA, which is about €9.50. Unfortunately, the figures cannot be pre-ordered yet on Amazon Germany.

Valve nennt Karte in Artifact um, damit sie nicht mehr rassistisch klingt

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Valve’s new card game, Artifact, has not yet been released. However, it is already causing a stir on Twitter, along with allegations of racism.

Whips for “Black”: In recent days, Valve has gradually introduced cards for the new trading card game Artifact, the card game based on Dota 2. One of the cards was titled “Crack the Whip,” which translates to: “Let the whip crack.”

This card modified “black heroes” according to the card text. This is a combination that can quickly be associated with less desirable themes. Fans brought attention to Twitter regarding the potentially racist combination.

Valve Admits Mistakes and Adjusts Card

New Name for the Card: Valve quickly responded to the criticism. The connection between whips, “black heroes,” and slavery was apparently too obvious.

After it was pointed out that it could easily be misunderstood, Valve promptly renamed the corresponding card. “Crack the Whip” is now called “Coordinated Assault,” which translates roughly to: “Coordinated Assault.”


What Does the Card Do? The effect of the card is actually not further concerning. It strengthens a hero and grants him an effect:

Modifies a black hero with “After you played a black card, grant this hero and its allied neighbors +2 attack for this round.”

In Artifact, there are four different colors, similar to the new Magic card game, that apply to all cards and can be combined with various effects:

  • Red
  • Blue
  • Green
  • and Black

The effect of “Let the whip crack” only refers to black hero cards and other cards of the color black. Taken out of context, the card text could indeed cause some issues.

Artifact Card Crack the Whip

Users Confront Valve: However, the debate about the card also went beyond mere criticism of the misleading card text. Some users on Twitter responded with memes to draw Valve’s attention to the error.

It was also pointed out that the community on Twitch is known for quickly misunderstanding such small errors intentionally to use them “inappropriately.”

Other users reacted somewhat more harshly. User @BlackThvghts accused Valve of a lack of diversity by questioning whether a “POC” (People of Color) was present when the card was created.

The ban wave in Neverwinter becomes a PR problem

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

After a wave of bans for an exploit in the MMORPG Neverwinter, this situation is turning into a PR disaster for Cryptic Studios.

Dealing with exploits is not easy for a game studio either. This is currently evident in the situation surrounding Neverwinter.

Neverwinter Ravenloft 3

An exploit stirs emotions

What happened? In the current expansion Ravenloft, it was possible to repeat one of the newly introduced hunts infinitely, which yielded players many rewards in the form of Astral Diamonds each time. This exploit was reported to the developers before the release of Ravenloft in June of this year. Now in September, a hotfix was finally implemented across all platforms. However, there was also a threat of consequences for all who exploited this. A wave of bans followed.

This is why players are now angry: There are several reasons that have led Neverwinter fans to be very upset:

  • The exploit was not fixed for a long time, even though it had been known for months. There was also no response from the developers.
  • Many saw the exploit as a feature, especially because there was no reaction from the developers. Some used it to finally catch up with the power gamers. Without a response from the developers, some thought it was okay to do this.
  • Even players who had only exploited the exploit once or twice were rigorously banned.
  • The developers removed items from the inventories of some players without warning.
  • The team further fanned the flames with a clumsy response: “Exploits like these can negatively affect the ‘health’ of Neverwinter and impact players. The exploit has now been fixed. Players who chose to abuse the hunt system are violating our terms of service, thus action was taken against them. Any player who wishes to contest actions against their account may contact our customer service.”
  • Youtubers and streamers were even banned. Players now believe that this negatively impacts Neverwinter.

A community in rage

This is how fans are reacting: The community is angry. Especially on Twitter, players are venting their frustration. No matter what the developers post there, the community is discussing the wave of bans, criticizing the approach, and currently bombarding Twitter with the hashtag #DontBuyZen. This is a call to stop buying premium currency for the MMORPG. The situation is developing into a PR disaster for Cryptic Studios.

What players would have wished for: It would have been so easy to avoid all these problems. Fans themselves explain how the studio should have proceeded.

  • For one, Cryptic Studios should have responded directly to the report of the exploit.
  • The hotfix should have come out sooner.
  • A timely notice either on the website, in-game, or via email would have been necessary to warn players not to exploit this.

Not everyone is angry: A Neverwinter fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, even defends the developers. He states: “Knowing that you are doing something that goes against the intention of the game is cheating, and the vast majority of people who were banned did it for personal gain. The actions taken against those people were long overdue and not the fault of the company, but of the cheaters.”

Furthermore, the number of permanent bans is reportedly not so high, and the Cryptic Studios is apparently currently converting many bans into suspensions. Nonetheless, it is quite an uncomfortable situation for the development studio.

Don’t feel like Hearthstone? Here is the download for the new Magic

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Magic makes a play for the throne of digital card games, currently held by Hearthstone. If you want, you can start playing with the beta of Magic: The Gathering Arena now. Here is the link for the free download of the new Magic game.

When it comes to virtual collectible card games, Hearthstone is the undisputed genre leader. However, that could soon change, as some promising competitors are on the way. Especially the grandfather of all collectible card games, Magic The Gathering, is now playable.

The open beta of Magic The Gathering Arena (MTGA) has begun!

Who is Magic The Gathering Arena suitable for? Anyone who is simply fed up with Hearthstone or who played the real Magic years ago will feel at home in Magic The Gathering Arena immediately.

The graphic style is somewhat “serious” and the game is more tactical, but also a bit slower. Moreover, Magic boasts – rightly so – of being the card game that inspired almost all other collectible card games.

What distinguishes MTGA from other games? Instead of relying on “simple” mana as a resource, Magic offers different colors that can be used for specific cards.

Magic The Gathering Arena MTGA Gameplay 1

Otherwise, the mechanics resemble those of other card games. There are creatures that you can play out and use for attack, spells to strengthen or destroy them, and a variety of synergy effects to eliminate opponents through clever strategy.

Is the game Pay2Win? As is common in card games, you can buy booster packs for real money. However, if you don’t want that, you can also earn cards through various means in the game. Daily missions, victories, and participating in different game modes are rewarded with in-game currency and card packs. Those who use real money are simply a bit faster in building their collection.

How to download Magic The Gathering Arena for free

How can you join the game? If you are excited about the game or just want to take a quick look, you can download Magic The Gathering Arena for free (link to the official site).

Will you take a look at Magic The Gathering Arena? Or is another collectible card game uninteresting to you?

If you’d rather play an “anime card game,” you might want to check out Shadowverse!

Overwatch-Spieler spielen mehr Mains und gewinnen häufiger

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

New numbers in Overwatch show that players on PC are increasingly specializing in one hero. The most popular heroes are Supports and Tanks.

More Mains in Season 12: An analysis by Omnic Meta shows that more and more players on PC are playing a hero as their “Main”. Players who frequently switch heroes are now a minority across all ranks.

Overwatch Screenshot Pharah Highlight Intro Secure Landing Title

More Mains in Overwatch – is that good or bad?

Where the trend comes from: According to Omnic Meta, about 55% of players are specialized in one hero as their “Main”. This means that the hero was selected more than 50% of the time. A “One-Trick-Pony” plays the hero even more than 80% of the time.

The value is currently at its highest level. The reasons for this can only be speculated. The most likely reason is the new Group Search system. Since players can choose a role before the game, it is easier for them to assemble compositions with their best heroes.

Overall, players seem to be better off climbing the ranks with their strongest hero rather than focusing on a role.

Overwatch DVa Cinematic title 3

Tanks and Supports are the most popular: The heroes that players focus on the most are Healers and Tanks. There are six heroes who are played as a “Main” more frequently than others in at least one rank:

The numbers indicate that the heroes were present as a “Main” in at least 9% of all games in a rank. Three of them are the most played heroes for some areas of the rankings:

  • D.Va (Bronze)
  • Reinhardt (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond)
  • and Ana (Master, Grandmaster)
Overwatch Reinhardt Hair Amazing
Is a Main for many people: Reinhardt.

No harm to the meta: The fact that players are increasingly specializing in one hero in Season 12 has little impact on the current meta game. The most popular compositions like Dive or Quad-Tank remain the strongest.

This is because the “Main” heroes are primarily those that dominate the meta game anyway or are one of their core heroes. Specialists and “One-Trick-Ponies” do not disrupt the meta.

More on the topic
Will you get banned in Overwatch if you only want to play one hero?
von Cortyn

There are some outliers in the list of “Mains” per rank, such as Winston, who is only played in the upper tier, or Pharah, who is only seen in the lower tier. The win rates can thus fluctuate accordingly but fit quite well into the list of the strongest heroes.

Omnic Meta concludes that players like to specialize in heroes that are already represented in the meta. This increases both the win rate of the heroes and the win probability of the players.
