The new action MMORPG TERA will soon have a short beta for PS4 and Xbox One again. This time, you should be able to explore the beautiful TERA world with fewer issues and bugs during a weekend and enjoy the action combat system.
TERA, the action-packed online role-playing game from South Korea, previously had an open beta weekend for PS4 and Xbox One. However, it was quite unpleasant for some players due to bugs, login issues, and crashes. Even the wonderful action combat gameplay and pretty graphics couldn’t help.
Fortunately, that was not the last open beta test for TERA. En Masse, the western publisher of the console version, will soon host another beta weekend.
Fewer bugs, higher level cap! – Start and end of the TERA beta
The new beta of TERA on consoles starts on Friday, March 16 at 2:00 PM our time. However, the beta won’t last very long. It will end on March 18 at 5:00 AM.
If you’re interested in TERA, there is a lot to offer. The developers have learned from the problems of the first open beta and implemented some changes.
Almost all zones now have multiple channels. You can switch channels from the menu using the triangle or Y button. Previously, the zones were heavily overcrowded, leading to crashes or freezes. Now you can simply switch channels and have less stress.
The UI no longer closes when a Pegasus or teleportal is used nearby.
The name displays will no longer just disappear.
Additionally, the level cap has been increased to 58! This gives you access to more areas and dungeons. And from level 40, a new class, the Blade Dancer, will be introduced!
You can continue to use your previous beta heroes. The already announced wipe will only take place before the launch of the release version.
Stress Test Challenge and New Rewards
As last week, there will also be something to win this time. If you log in and play during the stress test times, you will receive a reward. This time it is a kind of halo, the “Blue Angel Halo”.
To receive it, you just need to log in during the stress test times and make the servers glow. These times are:
March 16 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (EU servers)
March 17 from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM (US servers)
March 17 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (EU servers)
March 18 from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM (US servers)
Your rewards will be available at the start of the release version.
A bittersweet note: This beta is not as open as last time. You must have downloaded the client last time to participate in the beta now.
A fan of World of Warcraft wanted all NPCs in the game to have their quest texts spoken. However, Blizzard didn’t like this at all.
In theory, it was a nice plan: all quest lines in World of Warcraft were to be provided with voice output. Essentially, it would have required nothing more than a small interface addon and many, many hours of mp3 files recorded by various community members. The project already generated attention on Reddit and in the forums of mmo-champion, and found some supporters.
Even a small teaser trailer for his addon was already finished by Tio Miklas and showed a few scenes from the Forest of Elwynn.

But as the project gained more support, Blizzard also took notice. Ultimately, it was Josh “Lore” Allen, the community manager of World of Warcraft, who contacted Miklas and delivered the negative news:
The project must be discontinued. Blizzard sees this as a violation of their intellectual property. They consider the project a “new interpretation” of Blizzard’s work and therefore cannot allow it.
No legal consequences, but clear words
However, Blizzard kindly asks the author to cease development and distribution of the addon, and there are no legal claims as of yet.
“The problem is not any potential revenue. The problem is simply that Blizzard does not want third parties to create story content in World of Warcraft, and voiceovers for existing quest texts fall under that. No one here thinks you’re acting with malicious intent – I am completely honest when I say we find your work impressive!”
A voiceover of the quest lines will therefore not take place – at least not from fans.
Cortyn says: Basically, I find it extremely unfortunate that these projects are crushed by Blizzard at the root. It would have benefited the game world and sounded like a great project that would have significantly enhanced the old world. Since it would only have taken place in the form of an interface expansion and thus – presumably – only a fraction of the players would have come into contact with it, I find the approach regrettable. Ultimately, however, the decision rests with Blizzard, even if many developers find the idea of such an addon great.
What do you think of this decision? A logical decision by Blizzard? Or would you have liked to see the project?
On March 14, the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking passed away at the age of 76 after a long battle with ALS. To honor him, the players of the space MMO EVE Online came up with something special.
Stephen Hawking was not only regarded as one of the brightest minds of our time and one of the most recognized physicists, but he was also something of a pop icon of physics. He did not take himself too seriously and even appeared in the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. He did not consider science fiction a meaningless form of entertainment, but rather supported it.
According to him, science fiction inspires science, sparks new ideas, and allows people to experience an exciting and mostly positive future in their minds.
Buoys shine for Stephen Hawking
To honor this great man of science, who passed away on March 14, the players in EVE Online lit many cyndrical buoys that emit a bright light. The buoys usually announce the opening of a jump bridge, which is actually a cause for panic. Because this often triggers large attacks.
However, on March 14, they served the purpose of honoring the legacy of Stephen Hawking. Almost all players participated in the action, and the buoys lit up for several hours.
A beautiful gesture
On a heatmap, it can be seen where most of these lights were concentrated. Up close, the buoys looked like distant galaxies. This farewell would surely have pleased Stephen Hawking.
The latest update for Fortnite brings remote detonators, Llamas, and a new quest series for PvE. The new mode “Fast-paced” is also coming, but it will be available next week. Irish-themed skins are included as well. We have the patch notes for Fortnite on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for you.
During the maintenance work, the patch is being installed. We summarize the most important information.
Highlights of the patch notes for Fortnite
Battle Royale
The remote detonator is coming. It occurs at a rarity level of “rare”. It can be found in stacks of 4. It is C4 that you can place and then detonate from a distance. A trailer shows the detonator in action:

For this, the smoke grenade is being removed. They have been underused by players in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Epic wants to revise them now.
Supply Llamas are supposed to provide loot where players least expect it.
The new limited-time mode is “Fast-paced” – it will be available starting Monday, March 19th. Matches here last a maximum of 15 minutes, but there is faster loot, and the storm grows quickly, leaving you little space.
Save the World (PvE)
Here comes the next chapter of the Spring Storm event – it is in the spirit of the Irish St. Patrick’s Day. Epic has prepared 3 legendary heroes in St. Patrick’s theme, and there is also an epic Leprechaun survivor. Quests in Fortnite: Save the World are series of missions that can be completed during the “regular missions”.
In the event shop, there will be the Shamrock Fighter, which is an explorer.
Additionally, the weapon and hero caps have been worked on.
In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, the next event is traditionally the “St. Patrick’s Day” event. Here you can find all the information about green player cards, SBC’s, jerseys, and sets.
Update March 16 16:00:
There will be no separate “St. Patrick’s Day” event! Instead, the Irish holiday will be celebrated within the FUT birthday with weekly challenges. There, you can get “St. Patrick’s Day” cards that unlock the four football legends Bastian Schweinsteiger, Robin van Persie, Yaya Toure, and Wayne Rooney.
EA has announced the start of the 9th “FUT Birthday” event for this evening. Currently, it seems that St. Patrick’s Day will not be celebrated this year.
Original Article:
St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday and is celebrated every year on March 17. Not only in Ireland but also in many other countries, the day is celebrated with lots of green and even more beer. There has been a corresponding event in FUT since FIFA 13 – and so St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated again in FIFA 18.
St. Patrick’s Day in FUT 18: All information about the release, special offers, SBC’s, and more
So far, EA has not released any official information about St. Patrick’s Day. We will of course keep this post updated.
However, there is already a green card design with clovers in the database, which can quite definitely be interpreted as a “St. Patrick’s Day” card.
The event is expected according to fifauteam to take place this year from March 16 to March 19, at 19:00 each day .
This is what happened for St. Patrick’s Day in FIFA 17
In FUT 17, there was a special, “green” team for St. Patrick’s Day. It consisted of 23 players of Irish nationality who received a green card. These cards were neither upgraded nor did they have any other function. They could only be used for exchanging for SBC’s. The Irish players could only be drawn from packs during the “St. Patrick’s Day” promo phase.
In addition, a green jersey was obtainable. It’s very likely that there will be a special jersey in FIFA 18 again, which can be obtained through a weekly challenge.
The Squad Building Challenges last year were very special: There were “Goldpot” rewards, where the player did not know beforehand how many coins they would receive as a reward. What kind of SBC’s we can expect this year is still uncertain. Presumably, it will still involve players of Irish nationality, and the green “St. Patrick’s Day” cards could also play a role.
As was the case last year – and in almost every promo phase – there will likely again be pack offers in the store. “Lightning Rounds” are also possible.
The hype around Fortnite is growing larger. Now the famous rapper Drake is playing the battle royale along with the star streamer Ninja. The duo breaks the viewer record on Twitch.
In the Fortnite community, the streamer “Ninja” is practically a star. In recent weeks, we have already reported on him, how he set new subscriber records and earned $250,000 a month.
Epic’s Fortnite is also played by big stars from the music industry, and they think Ninja is cool too. The well-known rapper and actor Aubrey “Drake” Graham recently followed Ninja on Instagram – now they are playing Fortnite together. The shared fanbase of both has now broken a viewer record on Twitch.
Twitch Viewer Record – Over 600k!
This morning, on March 15, the rapper Drake and the streamer Ninja had a digital meeting. After some communication issues followed by a fan incident involving Ninja’s wife, viewers could finally watch the duo playing together.
Drake and Ninja are connected via Discord, playing crossplay with Drake on PS4 and Ninja on PC.
At the start of the stream, many viewers were already present, wanting to watch the spectacle. There were about 200,000. Later the rapper tweeted that he was currently playing Fortnite with Ninja and linked the stream on Twitter. That was the moment for the viewer explosion. After all, Drake has 36 million followers on Twitter.

Of the 36 million, some are not only fans of his music but also want to see the rapper play. Over 600,000 people were watching live as Drake and Ninja played Fortnite together. That’s a new Twitch record! We are still waiting for official numbers from Twitch (or Ninja), but at most there were between 607,000 and 630,000 viewers watching the stream simultaneously.
During the stream, Ninja asked how long Drake has been playing Fortnite. He says he has been playing the game for about two months. During his stays in recording studios, there is often downtime where the rapper can relax. Then it would be time for gaming.
Another guest who joined the stream was Megaupload chief “Kim Dotcom”. Currently, Ninja is still live streaming with his team, and the stream is still being attached here: By now the stream has ended. In the following VOD, the fun starts at about 3 hours and 52 minutes – Shortly thereafter follows Drake’s tweet.

The people of Kul Tiras in WoW can become druids. Their bear form looks terrifying!
On Reddit, it is often joked that the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft should be titled “Battle for Hordezeroth” because the Horde is getting so many cool models and allied races. However, the latest version of the PTR turns the tables and brings a particularly cool Alliance model into the alpha version of Battle for Azeroth.
The people of Kul Tiras are also committed to druidism, similar to the former inhabitants of Gilneas. However, since their magic is more focused on dead objects, such as bones and branches, their druid forms look completely different from those of ordinary druids.
The bear form is a creepy tree construct, with glowing green eyes and a sinister mask. Definitely the sight of a creature you don’t want to encounter.
The model alone is not a guarantee that the people of Kul Tiras will become an allied race, but the chances have drastically increased. It seems likely that Alliance players will also be able to play thick and thin people in the future. However, this will probably not be the case at the launch of the expansion but will be added later with a subsequent patch. After all, Blizzard announced that more allied races would follow after the original 6.
The other druid forms of Kul Tiras have not yet been found in the game data. They will likely appear only in a later patch.
What do you think of the bear form of the “Kul Tiras” druids? Is the model successful? Or does it have no chance compared to the bear form of the Zandalari trolls?
Today, on March 15th, there will be server maintenance in Fortnite . During this time, the game will be offline. How long will Fortnite be down on PS4, Xbox One, and PC? What does update 3.3.0 include? We probably won’t see a new mode – but llamas and explosive remote charges!
To prepare the servers for the new update, version 3.3.0, they will be taken offline for an indefinite period.
At 10:00 AM German time, the Fortnite servers will be down.
Matchmaking for the Battle Royale mode will be disabled half an hour earlier – at 09:30 AM.
So far, it is not known how long the servers will be offline.
We will update this post for you when the servers are back online.
The Fortnite servers were back online around 12:00 PM.
What does update 3.3.0 bring to Fortnite on PS4, Xbox One, and PC? Llamas and explosive charges!
The patch notes for 3.3.0 are expected to be released during the maintenance. What the update will bring is not known except for the llamas spread across the map and the remote charges.
The C4 remote charges are also coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale and are expected to enable new tactical gameplay variations. You can attach a C4 charge anywhere and then detonate it.
In the patch, as in previous weeks, several bug fixes are likely to be included. Self-rotating parts continue to be a problem.
Bye Bye, smoke grenades! What about the new Halo skin?
With the addition of the C4 remote charges, the unpopular smoke grenades will be removed from Fortnite: Battle Royale. These are “going back to the workshop” and will be examined for customization options. It is therefore possible that they will return in the future.
Since Monday, interested players can register with Epic for a chance to receive an invitation for the mobile version of Fortnite: Battle Royale. The invitations will not be distributed randomly via lottery, but targeted, as Epic has now revealed.
To take part in the first round of Fortnite: Battle Royale on smartphones and tablets, you need an Apple device. Fortnite Mobile currently runs only on iOS.
Fortnite on Android will follow in the coming months, according to Epic. However, those who thought the invitations to interested players would be sent randomly are mistaken, as Epic employee Nick Chester has now revealed.
First come, first served, right?
According to Nick Chester, factors such as the order of registration, distance to the data center, and the selected model (on which the game will be played) play a role.
At least the order of registration raises questions. After all, the site was closed for maintenance for a long time after a short time window. The few players who were able to register before this maintenance will likely have an advantage. However, how Epic will balance this is not known.
Regarding the Apple device on which you want to play Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need not worry that only the latest iPads or the iPhone X will be supported. Epic wants to test the game behavior on as many different devices as possible – players with an iPhone 6S therefore have the same chances as the iPad Pro lineup.
The distance to data centers and access points also plays a similar role. Epic wants to test whether all players – whether close to or far from the data centers – receive a stable gaming experience. It can therefore be assumed that location will also play a role in the selection.
Will players’ experiences matter?
When selecting the invited players, other factors can be considered. Factors such as playtime, number of wins, or personal K/D may play a role in the selection.
However, Epic will presumably diversify in this regard as well. Players with different skills and play durations will be selected to ensure the widest possible range.
Anyone who has registered with Epic for the mobile version will have seen that Epic asked whether you have played Fortnite before. It is not excluded that especially players who have had no prior contact with Fortnite will be invited – a large pool of experienced players is already available.
But nothing helps – interested players will simply have to wait. Epic has assured that more and more players will be invited in the coming weeks and months. Sooner or later, everyone will be able to play Fortnite: Battle Royale on their smartphone or tablet.
Do you find these selection criteria reasonable?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Ghost Recon Wildlands has received the “New Assignment” update for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We show you what’s in it.

The New Assignment update brings the three classes Trapper, Stalker, and Guerrilla to the Ghost War game mode. Additionally, the developers unlock a new voting feature, allowing players to vote for one of three maps before a match.
The update has been available since March 14 and is about 4 GB on Steam. On UPlay and on PS4 and Xbox One, 15 GB must be downloaded.
For the Salvage game mode, the new maps Refinery and Cliff are available.
Refinery
The factory on this map is the largest cocaine lab in all of Bolivia. There are many paths that allow for various tactics to salvage.
Cliff
This village was once a rebel fortress and is now under the leadership of Santa Blanca. The tall buildings provide advantages for snipers.
New Classes for Ghost War
The three new classes are available through the Season Pass and the Ghost War Pass. If you do not own either pass, you can purchase the classes with Prestige Credits.
Trapper: With the Trapper, a precision shooter with a passive and an active ability joins the game. His passive ability marks fallen enemies on the HUD on the map for the team. The active ability allows placing stun gas traps remotely.
Stalker: This precision shooter class has two passive abilities. Enemies that are too far away cannot hear the shots from this class and do not perceive sound signatures. Additionally, enemies do not receive notifications when marked by the Stalker.
Guerrilla: A support class with a drone that can throw smoke grenades. All players in the smoke area are concealed and lose their marking. Furthermore, they cannot be marked again by drones, targeting, or binoculars during that time.
Additionally, GRW has shown on a roadmap that the next updates “Reinforcement” and “Bravo 6” will now be bundled as a single update in April. You can find the full patch notes for the new update here on the Ghost Recon Wildlands website.
The patch 4.25 of Final Fantasy XIV is now live and along with it the open world content “Forbidden Land Eureka”. We have a guide for leveling and farming in the new Forbidden Land, which allows you to obtain the relic weapons and relic armor.
In this guide, you will find useful tips and tricks for quick leveling and farming for the new relic equipment.
Basics – FFXIV Eureka Guide
Basically, you can enter the Forbidden Land Eureka both solo and in a group. Group formation is also possible and strongly recommended within the instance.
The item level is lowered to 300 upon entering the area and you can spend a maximum of 180 minutes there.
Flying is generally not possible in Eureka, and to unlock the mounts, you must complete the level 17 story quest of Eureka.
You can only switch jobs at the main camp at the entrance of Eureka. Next to the aetheryte in this camp, there are two more crystals on the map.
However, these can only be used when you have reached an elemental level of 9. You can also only teleport from one crystal to another.
The proximity to these crystals will not protect you from monsters. If monsters randomly come close, they will attack you just like anywhere else.
The quests also work differently in Eureka. There is no archive where you can check where to go next. Players should remember well what hints the NPCs have given; otherwise, it may happen that you forget where to go.
Some of the quests are also designed so that you must cooperate with at least one other player to solve them.
At the NPC material manager, you can buy various potions. They don’t cost much but can only be used in Eureka.
It is advisable to have at least a handful of healing potions and antidotes, as they help while farming or can even save the player’s life in FATEs.
Charles has also published a video about Eureka on his Youtube channel:

Instead of the normal levels, there is a separate element-based leveling system in Eureka. Players need Maginite, which can be used on the Magia Board to change their elemental strengths and weaknesses.
Maginite is obtained through leveling and completing quests within Eureka.
To place the Maginite on the Magia Board, you must use the Magia Fuser at the main camp at the entrance. It is the only place where players can place their Maginite.
You can see how much bonus the respective element receives by inserting the Maginite also on the display of the Magia Fuser. Two inserted Maginite give a bonus of 52%.
Basically, you want to adapt your element to the opponent you are fighting at the moment. To be able to do that quickly in battle, the board can be rotated.
Which elements the opponents are weak against can be seen directly on the Magia Board when you target them.
You can use elemental properties both offensively and defensively. In this case, the monster being targeted is wind-elemental.
That means:
The DPS and healers should invest their Maginite into the ice element to deal more damage.
The tanks, on the other hand, should choose the same element as the monster, as they will take much less damage as a result.
Your own elemental properties can be changed at any time by rotating the Magia Board. A completed rotation consumes one MA point, of which you can have a maximum of 5.
A rotation can consist of several turns in different directions. As long as the element is not locked, the MA point is not consumed.
The MA points are slowly replenished over time or can alternatively be fully replenished directly at the Magia Fuser.
Monsters of Eureka
The enemies in Eureka all have a fixed assigned elemental property and a level. For example, the level 1 spinning crabs are water-elemental and the level 9 black wolves are fire-elemental.
The monsters also possess four different aggro patterns:
They attack either upon line of sight: sight
when they hear the players’ steps: sound
when a character’s HP falls into the yellow area: blood
or when someone uses magic in their vicinity: magic
In general, the rule is: Everything with eyes is “sight-aggro,” meaning most animal monsters like crabs, wolves, or frogs and everything that walks on two legs.
But also magical beings like imps, bombers, or puddings. This means that you can stand right behind them without being attacked.
Unfortunately, you cannot infer in reverse that everything that “has no eyes” is “sound-aggro.” The sound-aggro monsters are, however, rarer and harder to identify.
Some plant monsters like morbols or bats, but also opponents like leeches or sea bishops can be classified as “sound-aggro.” As mentioned, unfortunately, it is not immediately visible, and only personal experience helps.
The “blood-aggro” occurs primarily with undead creatures like skeletons or ghosts, and “magic-aggro” only with elementals.
Additionally, the chance of being attacked by an opponent decreases with the increasing level. At level 4, you will be left alone by level 1 mosslings and crabs.
Overall, you can categorize the opponents in Anemos into three different categories:
Normal Level Mobs
These are the enemies you will fight in regular level groups. They do not have much HP and drop the coveted unstable crystals after death, which are needed for upgrading the relic equipment.
On the map, they gather in groups in specific areas, which can be seen in this overview.
Some of the monsters only appear under certain conditions, such as weather or time of day. For example, you can only find the undead like skeletons at night.
Notorious Monsters
This special type of enemy will be familiar to FFXI players. They appear as boss enemies in special FATEs of Eureka after certain conditions are met.
The FATEs can feature specific mechanics, similar to those in Ixion, which players must manage. These mechanics are often related to the elemental system of Eureka.
So in the FATE “Numerical Superiority,” you need to destroy portals, which have different elemental weaknesses, as quickly as possible to summon strong monsters.
As rewards for successfully completing, players receive large amounts of EXP, Anemos crystals, and lockboxes. Additionally, you can receive other small rewards.
For instance, from the FATE of the Anemos Emperor, you receive the level 1 headgear “Emperor’s Hairpin”.
To trigger the FATEs of the Notorious Monsters, you have to kill certain monsters. You can find all known Notorious Monsters and the necessary foes for them in the following table:
Notorious Monster

Approximate Location of the FATE
Sabotender Corrido Level 1

The table will be updated as new information becomes available regarding the NMs and their FATEs. The amount of opponents that need to be killed to trigger the FATEs varies widely. Player reports range from a dozen to nearly 100 monsters.
The notorious monsters are very strong and can take quite a bit of damage, even in low-level FATEs. However, like regular FATEs, their strength scales with the number of players who have participated in the previous FATE.
Friendly Monsters
The friendly enemies are various elemental spirits of Anemos. They are relatively rare and primarily inhabit larger areas populated by many monsters.
When interacting with them, you receive the buff “Elemental Blessing,” which has a significant impact. It increases attack power and grants a regen effect. Additionally, you receive more EXP from the enemies.
The buff lasts for one hour, and if players encounter such an elemental, they should definitely try to obtain the buff.
However, the fairies will not stay forever. After granting the buff to a certain number of players, they will disappear again.
On this map, you can find the possible appearance locations of the elementals. But beware: If they get caught by the AOEs of other enemies, they can die.
Leveling
Since Eureka is group content, leveling in groups is also more efficient than solo. Veterans from FFXI will be familiar with the process.
Group Composition
First, you build your own group using the new adventurer list or join an already existing group. A full group should be balanced in terms of jobs and ideally include the following roles:
1 to 2 tanks
2 healers
1 bard or machinist
1 red mage or summoner
One tank is enough to hold the enemies. However, a second tank is recommended for those “Oh shit!” situations that can and will happen. But as long as everything is fine, the second tank can stay in DPS stance.
Two healers are also a precaution. Firstly, it makes survival much easier and more comfortable.
Secondly, there is someone to resurrect the first healer if a monster decides to turn around in the middle of the fight and smack them. However, red mages or summoners can also serve as backup.
Bards and machinists are there because healers and melee fighters will eventually run out of MP and TP. Of course, they are not strictly necessary but practical to have.
Group members can either be found via the /shout command or by going into the adventurer list and directly asking players if they want to join.
Farming Camps
Within the group, you need to agree on what type of enemies you want to farm.
While you receive less EXP per enemy in a group because it gets split among all group members, monsters go down much faster in a group.
Therefore, it is advisable to farm enemies that are about 2 levels above you with a light team of 4-5 players. With 7-8 players in a group, you can tackle 4-5 levels stronger enemies.
There are certain “camps,” areas on the map where many monsters with the same elemental weaknesses gather.
At lower levels, for example, the area around X: 28.7 / Y: 27.1, where there are many water-elemental sheep yolks, or X: 13.1 / Y: 21.8 with many cactuars and protoplasm.
Players must adapt to the elemental strengths and weaknesses of the respective monsters on-site.
Thus, the DPS and healers in the sheep yolk camp would choose thunder as their attack element to deal more damage, and the tanks water for better defense.
As soon as everyone gathers at the camp, you look for a safe monster-free spot a bit off to begin pulling the enemies. Basically, this should be done by the tank, as everyone else will take extreme damage, up to one-shot.
Even if you don’t always have to pull only 1 monster at a time, but sometimes 2 or 3, you should still be careful. Dying in Eureka is heavily punished from level 6.
A character at level 6+ who is not revived within 10 minutes loses 25% of their EXP. A “level down” can only occur starting from level 11.
Success Strands: A New Mechanic
Another new feature that has made its way into the combat system of Eureka is the strands, also called “chains.”
It builds up automatically when you kill enemies within a short time. The maximum chain level is 30. After that, the counter resets to 0.
Each additional level in the chain increases the EXP gained by 3%.
The time in which you must kill the next monster to extend the chain decreases until it reaches down to 45 seconds.
The effect of the success strands is in addition to an increased chance of obtaining unstable crystals, also an increased EXP rate. Therefore, it is important to keep the chains from breaking as much as possible.
However, you should keep the following in mind:
Enemies below your level do not grant a success strand
Enemies attacked first by someone else provide little to no EXP
HOWEVER: Killing foreign monsters can extend your own success strand
Therefore, when players level, they should do so as much as possible away from other players and on enemies that are higher level than themselves.
FATEs of Eureka
As mentioned above, FATEs in Eureka are triggered by killing certain types of enemies. As soon as such a FATE appears on the map, you should immediately head there.
Not only do you receive lockboxes and Anemos crystals from there, but FATEs also give you an incredibly large amount of EXP.
Depending on the level of the FATE, you receive more or less EXP, but they are always worth it – so don’t miss them!
As with normal FATEs, it is important to join a group to be resurrected more quickly if you die and to receive as high rewards as possible.
After completion, FATEs go on cooldown, which can last between 90 and 120 minutes, so they cannot be triggered consecutively.
It cannot be emphasized enough how important it is to participate in such a FATE, so be sure to join!

There are a total of three different types of loot that you can obtain from enemies in Eureka.
Unstable Crystals
These are randomly dropped by enemies while leveling. Stronger monsters at level 15+ drop correspondingly more crystals.
They can be turned in to Gerolt to obtain the improved job-specific armor.
Anemos Crystals
Larger forms of unstable crystals. You receive them from special FATEs in Eureka and can exchange them for the ilvl 350 Anemos equipment.
Alternatively, you can have them broken down by Gerolt into unstable crystals. It is up to each player whether to break them down or not.
The exchange rate is random, and per Anemos crystal, you can expect 2-5 unstable ones. So if you can already obtain the unstable crystals through efficient farming, it is worth saving the Anemos crystals.
Lockboxes
The lockboxes function just like in Diadem. You also receive them from FATEs and can have them decrypted by the NPC.
The items contained within are varied: mounts, companions, Chocobo saddles, level 1 projection outfits for all classes, materia, and of course a lot of useless stuff that will clutter your inventory.
Here is the list of known special items that can be obtained from the lockboxes:
Level 1 Projection Armor
Anemos Hat
Anemos Cask
Anemos Jacket
Anemos Gambeson
Anemos Shirt with Suspenders
Anemos Gloves
Anemos Targeting Gloves
Anemos Sarouel
Anemos Chaps
Anemos Boots
Anemos Targeting Boots
Companions
Mini Fafnir
Mithra Doll
Prince of Anemos
Mount
Tyrannosaurus Mount
Miscellaneous
Red Mage Chocobo Saddle
Sheet Music “No Quarter”
Sheet Music “Wicked Winds Whisper”
Sharlayan Wardrobe
Sharlayan Chest
Relic Weapons and Armors
The new relic quest begins in Eureka after completing a level 1 quest. For this, bring Krille an unstable crystal.
After that, you can upgrade the job-specific ilvl 290 equipment obtained from the level 70 job quest with the help of these crystals from Gerolt.
These form the basis for future upgrades of the relic armor set until it becomes “best in slot”.
The upgrades start at ilvl 335 and occur gradually in increments of 5 ilvl. For this, players must carry the items that Gerolt should upgrade.
The steps are very simple. You just need to bring Gerolt about a ton of unstable crystals to get the gear upgraded to quality level +2, and then another half ton of Anemos crystals to make the last upgrade step.
In total, players need the following amount of crystals for individual armor sets:
Step 1 at ilvl 335: Requires 350 unstable crystals
Step 2 at ilvl 340: Requires 1150 unstable crystals
Step 3 at ilvl 345: Requires 2800 unstable crystals
Step 4 at ilvl 350 without weapon: Requires 1150 Anemos crystals
From ilvl 350, the armor can be dyed and gets 5 guaranteed materia slots.
The weapon will be upgraded separately in a later step and will receive a glowing effect that cannot be dyed. It also has 5 guaranteed materia slots.
For the final step of the weapon, you need exactly 3 Pazuzu Feathers, which you receive from the Pazuzu NM FATE. To trigger the FATE, you must kill shadow spirits.
The FATE of Pazuzu has a cooldown of only one hour, but it can only appear in stormy weather conditions.
After successful completion, you directly receive all 3 feathers, but only if you are at least level 19.
In total, you need 3 feathers and 5450 crystals, which is definitely a significant amount. With the help of this guide, the farming time should definitely be considerably reduced.
Good luck playing!
Eureka is a first highlight in 2018 – What else can we expect?
Microsoft recently announced when the company will hold its Xbox briefing at the upcoming E3. This year, the new features from Redmond will be presented on a Sunday. They promise the biggest appearance ever.
The Xbox briefing during this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, will take place this time at the Microsoft Theater in the LA Live entertainment complex, which will serve as the central hub for many Xbox events throughout the week.
The presentation itself will be held on Sunday, June 10 at 1 PM local time. German fans should set their alarms for 10 PM.
The briefing will be accompanied by various Xbox FanFest activities, hands-on gameplay, and demos for all E3 attendees. In addition, Microsoft will be present at the LA Convention Center, where they will focus exclusively on the streaming platform Mixer.
Presentation is expected to be “different”
According to Tom Warren from The Verge, Microsoft has planned something “different” for this year’s Xbox briefing. What this “different” is has not been revealed, but this hint is expected to make sense soon.
Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Xbox brand, is taking a bold approach and promises nothing less than the “biggest appearance ever”:
“Since our first appearance at E3 in 2000, Xbox has had a significant presence at the show and provides exclusive and immersive opportunities for fans to know what we are planning. 2018 will be no different. In fact, it will be our biggest show ever presented.”
In recent years, the Xbox One has often been criticized for its lack of exclusive titles. Observers have repeatedly pointed out that there are no system sellers to convince people to buy an Xbox.
Do you think Microsoft can address the issue with the “biggest appearance ever?”
Fortnite (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) is currently in the spotlight of hackers and thieves. Hundreds of player accounts have been hacked. If the accounts were linked to credit cards or PayPal, money was also stolen. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this.
Fortnite is currently a mega-hit with millions of players. Some of them may not be having much fun in the game right now. Several hackers are on the loose, attacking Fortnite accounts en masse.
The victims often realize they have been hacked only when suddenly hundreds of Euros for alleged Fortnite purchases appear on their credit card bills or PayPal statements.
Russian Hackers on the Prowl
The hackers seem to be coming from Russia, as victims have suddenly seen names in Cyrillic script appear in their contacts or purchase confirmations were in Russian. It is unclear how the hackers accessed the victims’ accounts.
Well-known hacking techniques like phishing or cracking weak passwords are conceivable. Epic Games assumes that the victims had poor password protection. There are no known security vulnerabilities at Epic itself.
What to Do When Your Account is Hacked?
If you notice that your account has been hacked, you should immediately contact Epic Games Support. You should also contact your credit card company or PayPal and temporarily freeze your account. Your Fortnite account can also be temporarily suspended by support until everything is clarified.
Then scan your computer thoroughly for viruses and change your password on Fortnite. For previous victims, support was able to help quickly, but it takes a few days for the money to be returned and the account to be unlocked.
How to Protect Yourself from Hackers
To prevent a hack from happening in the first place, you should adhere to the following tips:
Use secure and unique passwords for Fortnite
Download Fortnite only from the official Epic site. There are numerous shady sites that may want to trick you
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One) will receive new weapons in 2018, one of which has already been teased. Fans believe they have guessed the weapon, which is likely to be the FN FAL.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has a lot planned for 2018. In a roadmap for the year 2018, the developers promised new maps, emotes, and new weapons. An initial teaser image has already been shown to the community – we have used it as the title image for this article.
Shortly thereafter, some fans on Reddit had a clear suspicion of what the new weapon might be.
The FN FAL – Finally a big NATO rifle for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
According to fans on Reddit, the weapon in the teaser clip is the FN FAL from Belgium. FAL stands for “Fusil Automatique Léger” which translates to “Light Automatic Rifle”. However, the weapon is quite substantial. As the first NATO weapon in the game, it uses the hefty caliber of 7.62 mm.
This ammunition has only been associated with Eastern European assault rifles such as the Kalashnikov until now. Shooter fans might recognize the FN FAL from various Call of Duty and Battlefield games.
L1A1 SLR or DSA-58 OSW instead of the original?
However, it is possible that in PUBG it is not exactly the FN FAL but rather a licensed product from another manufacturer. The Enfield L1A1 SLR or DSA-58 OSW could also be considered.
Which upgrades the FN FAL can utilize is not known, nor when the weapon will come to the game.
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 with Battle Royale mode? Publisher Activision Blizzard, the company behind Call of Duty and Destiny 2, is “very aware” of the popularity of the genre.
It is quite possible that Activision will soon take a piece of the Battle Royale pie. This means that future (and current) games are theoretically eligible for a BR mode. This can be inferred from statements by the investment firm Oppenheimer.
Activision could ride the trend
Recently, Oppenheimer and Activision met for a meeting. The Financial Officer of Activision stated there that the company can quickly jump on lucrative trends. And Battle Royale is exactly that for the companies behind it – lucrative. The success of games like Fortnite and PUBG has not gone unnoticed by Activision Blizzard.
“The investment firm says that Activision is very aware of how much game publishers have recently benefited from releasing titles in the Battle Royale genre,” explains Dow Jones Newswires.
“Management has reminded investors that the company is a ‘Fast Follower’. Translated, a Fast Follower is a company that is quick to implement good, new ideas from other companies.”
Whether a Battle Royale mode will be activated in the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 remains unclear. The typical modes in a Call of Duty game include the single-player campaign, multiplayer mode with additional features, and the zombie mode.
A BR mode would probably only be feasible in a special implementation. After all, CoD is a first-person shooter, and most Battle Royale games can also be played in third-person mode. Whether CoD will then adapt to a third-person perspective or only present the BR mode in first-person perspective are questions the community is asking.
However, nothing further has been officially confirmed here except: Activision knows that Battle Royale is currently all the rage. It remains exciting to see what news Activision will use to attract attention in the coming weeks and months.
The new boss Izax from patch 5.8 of Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) doesn’t do things by halves. After less than 10 seconds, all players are dead.
The latest patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released next week. The biggest feature for fans of challenging operations is likely to be the fresh boss Izax, one of the “Machine Gods” from which later the religions on Zakuul emerged. However, Izax is not a quick snack!
The boss Izax in veteran mode is particularly difficult and is likely to remind players more of the nightmare difficulty. He is so powerful that the first fight on the PTR ended after exactly 8 seconds – then Izax had wiped out the players.
Even in later attempts, things went rather poorly for the players. While some groups made it to phase 4, they were then mowed down by a horde of additional adds. The trailer for the boss was presented in the developer livestream; here is the relevant excerpt:

In story mode, Izax seems to forgive more mistakes; he has already been defeated several times there.
New “old” companions – but only for the Empire
Players of the Empire can look forward to the return of two special companions – at least if they play the corresponding classes.
Ashara, the student of the Sith Inquisitor, returns as a companion. She has spent the last few years on Voss studying the Force – without her master. She is exclusive to the Sith Inquisitor.
Vector, the mysterious “bug man,” also returns. Vector is exclusive to the Imperial Agent.
Ashara is back – and she has been sorely missed.
In the stream, the developers also revealed that there are still many plans for 2018, such as Kira returning as a companion. But there are also already plans for “2019 and beyond” that they do not want to talk about yet.
Aside from that, the conquest system is being revised. The interface is now clearer and the rewards for various tasks have been adjusted to better match their difficulty.
By the way, there are no major changes to class balance in patch 5.8. The developers want to address that in update 5.9.
Are you looking forward to patch 5.8, Ashara, and Vector? Are you going straight for the new boss? Or are you hoping for the announcement of a new expansion?
With the announcement of The Division 2, discussions around the sequel began. While YouTube experts like MarcoStyle and Skill Up are optimistic and see a continuation as a great opportunity for the franchise, parts of the community fear another Destiny 2.
Although further information on The Division 2 is not expected before E3, the community is actively exchanging opinions on the upcoming successor to The Division:
How do the YouTube experts react?
What is the attitude of Mein MMO readers towards a sequel?
MarcoStyle – “The Division 2 will not just be a remake.”
In direct response to the reveal of the sequel, renowned Division YouTuber MarcoStyle released a video expressing his opinion. He sees the announcement very positively and primarily as an opportunity for Massive to completely redo The Division and make it better.
He understands the fans who want the story to continue from the first installment. However, that one has many fundamental issues like netcode, bugs, glitches, and hackers. Patches would not be enough to resolve these.
The Division 2 offers exactly the opportunity not to repeat such mistakes while integrating a lot of new content.
The developers’ statements contribute to Marco’s optimism. They have learned a lot from their time with The Division and are aware of the possibilities a sequel offers. Therefore, he believes The Division 2 will be more than just a remake.
A Destiny 2 scenario is also possible, one simply has to wait for more information.

Even one of the formerly largest Division YouTubers, Skill Up, sees things similarly and mentions many points in his statement, points that cannot be solved with DLCs for The Division 1 but require a sequel:
One should
revise the netcode
combat the hacker problem
fix animation issues
completely overhaul inventory management
fill the open world with more life
continue the main story
either provide new areas or a completely new setting
rethink the Dark Zone design (Rogue 2.0)
revise the concept of gear sets
A The Division 2 could mean a kind of fresh start for many players, attracting new ones and solidifying the franchise. It would therefore be an opportunity for Massive to finally overcome the problems of the past.
This is what Mein MMO readers say
The announcement of The Division 2 and the contents for Year 3 are received with mixed feelings in the comments on our articles by Mein MMO readers. Many fear a disaster akin to Destiny 2.
Sevenghost approaches it skeptically and hopes that the trend of add-ons as full-price titles does not become the norm.
Klatch 1.0 writes: “I now have nearly 3000 playing hours and I am looking forward to The Division 2! The current The Division has become so boring. It’s about time!”
Jimmey Dean would have been happy to wait another 2-3 years for proper expansions for the first part, to then see a finished, comprehensive, and polished The Division 2 after 5 years of development.
Erzkanzler feels similarly: “Shooter MMOs should take a cue from MMORPGs regarding the product lifecycle. They barely managed to bring The Division to a playable state and now want to emulate Bungie…”
krieglich is less skeptical and finds that the developers have really put effort into making the first part a well-rounded game that is now extremely fun in co-op, and thus looks forward to the new installment.
Compadre does not see the risk that The Division 2 will follow the path of Destiny 2. The Division 1 has actually gotten better since early 2017, while Destiny 1 has gotten worse since early 2016.
SVBgunslinger also contradicts the fears: For all the core problems, a sequel is the best solution. With all the experiences, Massive should now be able to deliver a top-notch game.
DevilRon1989 is optimistic and writes: “Nice news. Hopefully, the second part will also be fed with more content. I would also like to learn more of the story. I also wish for more variety in terms of enemies.”

On March 22, Monster Hunter World will receive its 1st DLC, which will also include the Deviljho. The content patch will also feature a large Spring Festival with rewards, adjustments to almost all weapons, and the ability to redesign your character. The DLC is free as promised.
Hunters can look forward to spring, as Monster Hunter World will be upgraded with a major update. The DLC will contain a plethora of new content and gameplay adjustments. The update will be available for free on PS4 and Xbox One.

Update 2.00 brings the new monster Deviljho on March 22
Next week Thursday, on March 22, the Deviljho will come to Monster Hunter World. On PS4, the update will be numbered 2.00, and on Xbox One, the patch will be 2.0.0.0.
The Deviljho is a brutal flying wyvern that is constantly hungry due to its high body temperature. This carnivore has been observed consuming its own kind.
Craft the “Vangis Armor” from the Deviljho – Also for the Palico
In Monster Hunter World, it’s customary to harvest monsters for their body parts. Hunters craft new weapons and armor from the monster materials. This also applies to the Deviljho.
The armor that can be crafted from the Deviljho at the forge is called Vangis, and it will be available as an Alpha and Beta set. There will also be a Deviljho variant for all 14 weapon classes in Monster Hunter World.
Vangis Armor in male and female

“Spring Blossom Fest” runs from April 6 to April 12: Brings rewards and new food
Spring is heralded in the new world, and the gathering place will be draped in a sea of flowers. The NPCs who work here will also receive a special uniform fitting for spring. Numerous fun activities await the hunters here, primarily revolving around hunting monsters.
As there can be no festival without plenty of food, there will also be a new meal in the canteen. Hopefully, it’s not Poogie, who sits here as a flower idol on the table…
A new Great Sword also comes with the festival
Just in time for the start of the Spring Festival on April 6, there will also be materials available to craft a new weapon. This is the “Wyvern Ignition” Great Sword. What makes this weapon special is that it originated from a fan competition conducted by Capcom.
We do not yet know what stats the weapon will possess, but it will certainly look great!
Almost all weapons will receive adjustments – Here is an overview
Most weapons will receive either a buff or balance adjustments with the update. Here is a quick overview of what’s changing:
Great Sword: Damage will be increased for charged slash abilities
Long Sword: Improvements to the foresight slash that adjusts the timing and hitbox direction
Sword & Shield: “Roundslash” damage will increase and the slinger ability will be improved
Dual Blades: Adjustments that help maintain the Archdemon mode
Hammer: Adjustments to paralysis values and charged attacks
Hunting Horn: Attack power will be generally increased
Spear: Counter-thrust has been adjusted to make it easier to apply
Gunlance: Sharpness loss will be reduced when shooting and attacks will be generally increased
Morphing Axe: “Zero Sum discharge” adjustments to make it more user-friendly
Energy Blade: Balance changes to the vials
Insect Glaive: Improvement of the extract attack power (red) and extract effect lasts longer
“Mega Man” Quest for the Palico runs from April 13 to April 27
During the “Spring Blossom” festival, there will be a special event quest. With this, you will receive a ticket to craft special armor for your Palico at the forge. This will transform your cat companion into the cult robot Mega-Man in pixel style.

Cosmetic appearance (hair, face paint, etc.) – This is, by the way, now also possible anytime for free and without a ticket
What the ticket CANNOT change:
Hunter’s name
Palico names

Trolling during looting will come to an end! “Friendly-Fire” disabled
In Monster Hunter World, there was a significant loot problem. Players trolled other hunters while harvesting monsters and denied them the loot. Through the “Friendly-Fire” mechanic, other hunters could be hit by players and thus interrupted during the looting action.
Capcom promised to consider solutions and has now found one: “Friendly-Fire” will be disabled when players loot the monster.
Players are immune after completing the quest against:
All kinds of weapon attacks
Bombs
This brief overview summarized the major Spring Festival Update. There will also be an event quest in which you can unlock the armor of Dante from Devil May Cry.

The professional players of Overwatch are widely complaining about Sombra. This may lead to another nerf.
Balance is a sensitive topic in Overwatch that repeatedly sparks wild discussions. Currently, Sombra has come under scrutiny from players and regularly triggers heated debates in the official forums and on Reddit.
The complaints seem to bear fruit, as according to a streamer, Sombra will be nerfed again in the near future.
The player Zachary “ZachaREEE” Lombardo, who is currently playing for the Overwatch Contenders team Fusion University, revealed during a stream that Blizzard is aware of the Sombra issue. “Almost all players in the Contenders complained to Blizzard about Sombra” and received positive feedback that Sombra will be adjusted soon.

The reason for the numerous complaints is the improvement of Sombra’s hacking. With the last major update, it was slightly reworked and can now hack a target within 0.65 seconds – interrupting it is barely possible.
But the effects of the hacking itself have also become more powerful, as Sombra now deactivates all abilities triggered by a button press. This includes things like Pharah’s rocket boost, as well as Hanzo’s and Genji’s wall climb.
In FIFA 18 the TOTW 26 (Team of the Week 26) is known. These players receive Inform cards in Ultimate Team.
In addition to the currently available in packs “Path to Glory” Spring special cards, the new Team of the Week (TDW 26) will be released on Wednesday, March 14, at 7 PM in FUT 18. The 23 upgraded players will be available in packs for one week from release.
This week's highlights include Paolo Dybala (92), Marco Veratti (89), and Franck Ribery, Michi Batshuayi, and Petr Cech (all 87).
TOTW 26 – Player Card Ratings in Ultimate Team
Recommendations for small budget
Alongside the highlights, there are also players each week who are strong but may go unnoticed by many players due to their rating or obscurity. This means they could be real bargains on the transfer market.
Milan Škriniar (83), CB, Inter Milan: 69 pace, 86 defending, 81 physical and 1.88 meters make this center-back a real force. Additionally, he is Slovak and thus has a green link to the popular “Serie A” midfielder Marek Hamsik.
Alassane Pléa (82), ST, OGC Nice: A solid striker with good pace, shot, and strength values. What makes him interesting is his club and his nation. He forms a “Perfect Link” with Wylan Cyprien, who received a strong Inform card last week.
Rodrigo (83), ST, Valencia CF: 94 pace, dribbling and shooting in the mid 80s and 4-star skills are what the Spaniard brings. A strong, fast striker for an affordable La Liga or Spain team.
These were the Predictions for Team of the Week 26 in FUT 18
TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players deserve a place in the upcoming Team of the Week. While these predictions never align 100% with the official TOTW, it is therefore risky to act on the transfer market based on these, nonetheless, they give a good overview of which players could receive the coveted special cards.
We provide an overview of predictions from various FIFA sites.
What is the Team of the Week (TDW) in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in their annual football simulation “Ultimate Team” mode. This is also the case in FIFA 18. Players who performed outstandingly in real football over the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within one week from the packs that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance for this is to be considered low.
Additionally, you can buy them on the transfer market when offered by other players. However, the prices for these are usually extremely high. If you want to purchase one of the new Informs for your team, it is advisable to buy it at the beginning of the next week, as they will be cheaper then.
