Ranked Play in Hearthstone repaired – Blizzard gives away card packs

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has temporarily disabled the Ranked Play mode in Hearthstone. A bug is causing issues. Players were promoted to Legend too quickly.

The new Ranked system in Hearthstone became active on March 1st, but has already been disabled.

Players rank up way too quickly

With the start of the March season, Blizzard planned to implement the new revised ranking system in Hearthstone. However, the Ranked Play mode was disabled shortly after the update due to technical problems.

Blizzard has not provided specific details about which bug it is. However, the deactivation of the mode coincides with a tweet about players in the Asian region:

Apparently, some of these players received 5 stars per win, which caused them to reach the Legend rank less than an hour after the launch of the season.

The Ranked mode has thus been temporarily disabled for the regions of Asia, China, and Europe, where the new season has started.

The fix is already in progress

In the official Battlenet forums, Community Manager Aratil stated in a post that the cause of the issue has been identified and the team is already working on a solution.

We have identified the cause of the issues with Ranked Play progression, and are working on a resolution. While we continue to work on this, Ranked Play will be in extended maintenance. We will continue to update this thread with information as it becomes available.

Ranked Play back available

Update 2.3.: Blizzard has meanwhile released a hotfix for the bug, and the Ranked Play mode is available again.

As an apology for the downtime, all players will receive three card packs from “Kobolds & Catacombs,” which they will receive through the gifting feature. 

The packs can be redeemed in Hearthstone starting next week.

Farming earns a lot of honor at the Boiling Coast in WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The new PvP area in WoW is convincing in every respect. The Seething Shore is the perfect farming spot to collect Honor.

Since last Wednesday, there has been a new battleground in World of Warcraft, the Seething Shore. Currently, the shore is only available as a “Brawl” – but those who have the opportunity should definitely sign up for it! Because the Seething Shore brings a lot of Honor and even more fun, as it works completely differently than all other battlegrounds in WoW.

Endless Honor

For those who found the Honor rewards too much effort, they should consider changing their mind. Because on the Seething Shore, Honor rains down. Players often leave the battleground with 1000 Honor if they win a match – even more if their faction is currently outnumbered and thus receives an Honor bonus. And this during a match duration of 10-12 minutes. Capturing Azerite takes only a few seconds, and each chunk grants around 40 Honor for the entire team. After 15 Azerite captures, the match is already over – a fast, effective Honor farming spot.

The green Azerite columns indicate where a new resource appears.

Fast target switching without breaks

Unlike other battlegrounds in WoW, there is constant action on the Seething Shore. Since the control points to be captured switch every few seconds, players must think quickly and shift the battle. Those who want to “just have a quick duel” will arrive late at the next Azerite spawn and lose important points for their team. Thanks to the ever-changing objectives, there is constant action. There are simply no boring “I’ll defend the courtyard now” phases or “Let’s protect the flag carrier in this corner for 5 minutes” moments.

But the Seething Shore has even more cool ideas that are a lot of fun. This allows players to enter the fray not at a fixed spawn point but virtually anywhere on the battlefield! This is possible because after death, you spawn on the airship hovering above the battleground. From there, the character can jump off and position themselves more accurately with two rocket boosts. It literally rains players, and long trips to the skirmish are completely eliminated.

WoW Seething Shore Title
Thanks to the airship, you can enter anywhere on the map directly!

Cortyn says: It’s been a long time since PvP in World of Warcraft has been this much fun for me as on the Seething Shore. The matches are quick, there are no endlessly long “zergs” over specific points, and those who are not on the ball are a handicap for their team. If a match is ever unbalanced, it’s not a big deal – after 10 minutes, a match is usually over anyway.
I do believe that the Honor gain on the shore is still a bit too high and Blizzard will correct it downwards, as no other battleground can compete otherwise. As long as it grants so much Honor, I give the clear recommendation: To the Seething Shore! A lot of Honor awaits.

How do you like the Seething Shore in WoW? Are you having fun in the new battleground, or is it too hectic for you?

Don’t feel like PvP? Then just do a “Mythic+22” dungeon solo, just like Mionee.

Fortnite received a tiny update 3.1.1 – Where are the patch notes?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

After the major patch 3.1.0 went live for Fortnite yesterday, a tiny, additional update has been rolled out today on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Players are wondering: What is in the update 3.1.1 and where are the patch notes?

Yesterday a major update came that changed a lot in Fortnite. We reported on it extensively.

Today at 10:00 AM the next update arrived and players are asking:

  • What is included now?
  • Did they change something again?
  • Where are the patch notes for the new update?

The update 3.1.1 is so small that it didn’t even require any downtime. Players just had to restart Fortnite for it to take effect.

The update is only meant to fix some game crashes that players were suffering from. There were no separate patch notes.

So nothing has changed in comparison to last night in Fortnite, except that there should be fewer crashes now.

The major changes that came to Fortnite yesterday are presented here:

Destiny 2: The Nightfall Modifiers are not dead, a return is possible soon

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 the Nightfall modifiers are not dead and buried, says Bungie. A return in the future is possible.

At the beginning of the week, the Update 1.1.3 fundamentally revised the Dawn Strike. Instead of a time limit and random modifiers, this endgame activity now features strike scoring and challenge cards that allow for individual difficulty adjustment.

Even though the removal of the timer is a welcome change for many Guardians, the new Nightfall does not satisfy all players. Because another change meets with great incomprehension: In the normal Dawn Strike, there are no modifiers at all, and even in the Prestige Nightfall, only a few modifiers can be set with the challenge card.

destiny-2-hüter-vex-strike

Modifiers actually bring variety to the Nightfall, as they favor certain playstyles and provide Guardians with advantages or disadvantages. Therefore, one would have preferred significantly more modifiers for the new Nightfall instead of their removal. Many users wrote in the forums that they cannot believe Bungie simply removed them.

If the players want it, the modifiers will return

The development team has now addressed some ambiguities regarding the new Dawn Strike. They also discussed the removal of the base modifiers.

According to Bungie, these were removed to focus the new Nightfall entirely on pure combat. This should allow the community to establish a meta for a high-scoring Nightfall run.

Bungie then emphasizes: The modifiers are not dead and buried. They can certainly be brought back in the future. The team is open to player feedback on this matter.

destiny_2_e3_2017_ps4_exclusive_strike_lake_of_shadows_pose_6

As numerous posts appeared in the reddit forum in recent days criticizing the removal of the modifiers, it can be assumed that they will be reactivated in the future. When this will happen is still unclear.

More info on Nightfall 2.0

Bungie provided two additional pieces of information about the new Dawn Strike:

How do you obtain the variants of the Nightfall badges? These can drop randomly when you complete a Nightfall. They are not guaranteed drops and are not tied to any challenges. The higher your score, the greater your chance of receiving a badge variant. The chance varies between 0% and 50%, depending on your score. The score thresholds that increase the chances are at 20k, 40k, 60k, and 80k.

When does the target value change to activate the aura? Currently, you need 60,000 points to activate the aura. This target value is based on internal testing. If the same Nightfall (Tree of Probabilities) returns, this value will likely be adjusted upwards. The new target value will then be based on the community highscores achieved this week. A certain percentage is taken to set the new value, likely the top 10%.

destiny-2-kampf_strike_action_03

Additionally, the team wants to publish weekly the strike teams that achieve the highest scores. Currently, the high score is at 222,873.

Known Issues after 1.1.3

Furthermore, Bungie released a list of known issues after 1.1.3 that they are currently working on:

  • Modifiers are currently unavailable for some players in the Heroic Adventures on Mercury. A solution is expected before Update 1.1.4.
  • The destination badge of the EDZ currently only shows 38 of the 41 Ghost scans after they have been found.
  • The statistics for the found Ghost scans do not update until a player returns to orbit or takes off and re-equip the badge.
  • A problem has been identified whereby score multipliers on challenge cards do not update correctly when players choose the elemental modifiers. You can work around the issue by toggling the power penalty up or down.
  • In the raid, there is a problem that some fireteam members do not spawn correctly after a wipe. This is triggered when a fireteam separates over a large distance. The issue is still being investigated. In the meantime, you can work around the problem by staying close together as a fireteam.

Pokémon GO: Exclusive Pokémon – Regional, from Eggs, Raids, and Events

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are different types of exclusive Pokémon. Some can only be found in eggs, others only in raids, and for some, you even have to travel to foreign countries to find them. You can always refer to this overview of exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon GO when you’re looking for information about them.

You have probably all heard of exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon GO. But can you name each one? In this article, we provide you with an overview of the Pokémon that can only be found under certain conditions.

[toc]

Regional Pokémon

We already know these special Pokémon from the first generation. With the addition of Generation 2 and Generation 3, this list has been expanded.

You can usually find regional Pokémon only in specific places around the world. In Europe, for example, we have Pantimos, which other regions like America or Asia typically lack. To catch these Pokémon, you must travel to their native region to find them in the wild.

However, Niantic has already proven that there are exceptions in this category. These Pokémon can rotate during special events or can be found temporarily in other locations. For example, there was a regional catch contest where Porenta (which is originally from East Asia) became available worldwide for a short period.

These regional Pokémon are known:

Pokémon GO Exclusive Regional
  • Tauros – North America
  • Pantimos – Europe
  • Kangama – Australia
  • Porenta – East Asia (Japan, South Korea, etc.)
  • Skaraborn – South America, southern Texas/Florida
  • Corasonn – Spawns in the tropics between 31N and 26S
  • Relicanth – New Zealand, Fiji
  • Sengo – Europe, Asia, and Australasia
  • Vipitis – North America, South America, Africa
  • Lunastein – Europe, Asia, and Australasia
  • Sonnfel – North America, South America, and Africa
  • Illumise – North America, South America, and Africa
  • Volbeat – Europe, Asia, and Australasia
  • Tropius – Africa
  • Qurtel – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, parts of Oman

Weather-Dependent Pokémon

So far, there is only one Pokémon (or rather different forms of it) that can only be caught under certain weather conditions. This Pokémon is called Formeo. Its different variations can only be found in the following weather:

Pokémon GO Exclusive Weather
  • Sunny Form in sun
  • Rain Form in rain
  • Snow Form in snow and fog
  • Normal Form in all other weather conditions

Pokémon That Hatch Exclusively from Eggs

“Baby” forms of various Pokémon can only be obtained when they hatch from specific eggs. These are divided into different categories.

Pokémon GO Exclusive Eggs
  • 2km: Pichu, Pii, Fluffeluff, Togepi
  • 5km: Elekid, Magby, Kussilla, Azurill, Isso, Rabauz

Raid-Exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon GO

Many of the Pokémon in Pokémon GO are exclusive as raid bosses in the game. You will only find them as guardians of gyms, which you can challenge by activating raid passes. Legendary Pokémon are often found here as well.

Keep in mind that some legendary raid bosses are no longer in the game, but they were exclusive as legendary raid bosses in Pokémon GO.

Pokémon GO Exclusive Raid1
  • Normal Raids (Pink Egg): Flunkifer
  • Rare Raids (Yellow Egg): Absol
Pokémon GO Exclusive Raid2
  • Legendary Raids (Purple Egg): Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Lugia, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Ho-Oh, Groudon, Kyogre

Event Exclusive – These Pokémon are only available during Pokémon GO In-Game Events

The trainers of Pokémon GO often participate in in-game events that link real-world holidays with the AR game. Sometimes there are special Pokémon for these events that are of interest to collectors.

Pokémon GO Exclusive Event

Community Days in Pokémon GO

Once a month, a Community Day event takes place in Pokémon GO. During the event, a Pokémon species appears more frequently in the game. This Pokémon (or its evolution) also knows an exclusive event move that makes these Pokémon special.

  • Pokémon GO Comm-Day January
  • Pokémon GO Community Day 2 with Move

Other special Pokémon in Pokémon GO are Shinies. With their shimmering form, they are very popular among collectors. We will show you where to catch them. Pokémon GO Shiny List 2018

From today you can earn loot in The Division by watching streams

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Starting today, on March 2nd, new Twitch Drops for The Division are available. Watch the developers play to receive valuable loot.

Throughout March, the developers want to celebrate the two-year anniversary of The Division with you. For this purpose, a Global Event will take place every weekend in March, so you can complete your secret gear sets.

Additionally, there are new “Twitch Drops” to celebrate. Twitch Drops in The Division took place already in early December and mid-January: You had to link your Twitch account with your Ubisoft Club account, then watch the developers’ livestreams for a certain time and as a reward, you received weapon skins in The Division.

Now you can participate in new Twitch Drops with new rewards throughout March.

What you need to know about the Twitch Drops in March 2018

The Twitch Drops run from March 2nd to March 30th. A specific start time has not been announced, but the community manager AmperCamper usually streams every Friday evening – by then the Twitch Drops should already be active.

To earn loot from the Twitch Drops, you must watch the developers play for a certain amount of time. We embed the official Division Twitch channel here – you need to watch this when the stream is live:

https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame

The longer you watch, the more rewards you will receive:

  • For 30 minutes: 3 Cipher Keys
  • For 60 minutes: The Asher Vanity Outfit
  • For 90 minutes: 3 Cipher Keys
  • For every additional 30 minutes (up to a maximum of 6 hours) you will receive 5 Cipher Key Fragments
    division-twitch-drops

Keep in mind that you do not have to watch the Division stream for 6 hours straight to earn the maximum loot. You can spread the stream time over March; the time will be counted for the Twitch Drops.

The developers promise that they will stream extensively in March – especially when the Global Events are live. So you will have many opportunities to earn the Twitch Drops.

How to get the Twitch Drops for free

You will only receive the loot from the Twitch Drops if you complete the following steps:

  • You need a Twitch account and a Ubisoft Club account
  • Link the accounts via drops-register.ubi.com – you must log in to both accounts and then authorize the process
  • Then watch one or more streams on the Division Twitch channel this month – for as long as you want. You should receive notifications as soon as you receive Twitch Drops.
  • Then visit the reward vendor in the Operations Base and grab the Cipher Keys. You can find the reward vendor in the entrance area of the base. Enter through the main entrance and head left. He is standing next to the weapon and equipment vendor.

Here is a tutorial on how to link the accounts:

What are Cipher Keys?

You need Cipher Keys to open encrypted containers at the Premium Vendor. These containers contain only random cosmetic items, such as skins, emotes, or outfit parts.

Cipher Keys can either be purchased from the Premium Vendor for real money or crafted with key fragments. The latter can drop randomly from named bosses. In March, you will now have another chance to obtain the keys for free through Twitch Drops.

Fortnite fans hide in the bush to show their love

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) requires a lot of dedication. But what to do when in the middle of the battle, the partner demands attention? You hide in the bush, of course. A Fortnite trend that’s slowly turning into a meme.

Fortnite: Battle Royale is a fast-paced online battle royale game. As long as a round lasts, you are fair game for all opponents. If you’re not careful, you can quickly get taken out and eliminated from the game.

Fortnite-Battle-Royale-Test-06

This is especially annoying when you are just about to win and only a few from the initially 100 players are left.

It’s silly when just then your friend or girlfriend calls or sends a text message!

The Relationship Dilemma of Online Gamers

Unlike offline games, you can’t simply pause an online game like Fortnite and then write your partner a sweet message or pick up the phone. If you go afk in Fortnite in the middle of the game, you can’t expect any mercy from your teammates.

Fortnite-Frau

On the other hand, it’s not advisable to give your partner the feeling that you would rather play a game than give them your attention. Feelings can easily get hurt, and the partner has every right to be upset.

The situation becomes especially dangerous when the partner is a dragon that you better not provoke!

Sweet Nothings from the Bush

To avoid this typical gamer relationship dilemma, some Fortnite players got creative and managed to survive the game while still giving their partner the necessary attention.

Fortnite-Battle-Royale-Bush-01

Some players cleverly used bush camouflage. Either they hid in the many bushes in the game or they used the cool camouflage item that transforms them into a bush. Hidden in this way, they could then reply to their loved ones undisturbed.

The Fortress of Love as a Safe Space!

But what to do when there is no suitable bush at hand? Then daring players simply build a thick fortress. But not a fortress of loneliness, rather one of love!

fortnite-bauen-titel

Protected by thick steel walls, the players are invisible to enemies and cannot be taken out easily. Ideal for then contacting the partner.

praises on Social Media

Many players have informed their loved ones in messages that they have built a fortress or are hiding in bushes just for them. This was often well received and proudly shared on social media. “Look, my partner is so sweet, he hides in a bush just to write to me! Romance is not dead!”

One woman even found it more romantic that her boyfriend built a massive fortress just to chat with her. “That’s so much sweeter than a stupid bush!”

fortnite-liebe-01

Other partners have less luck. When asked “Fortnite or me”, one player simply replied: “I just spent 25 dollars on the battle pass, the choice is clear.”

fortnite-liebe-02

Fortnite is increasingly influencing real life. In the USA, students are now allowed to write a chemistry exam on Fortnite due to a bet!

You can now look like a wobble worm in Monster Hunter World!

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

Become a Wobble Worm in Monster Hunter World! Right now, there is an event quest where you can craft this super funny helmet. The quest is available on PS4 and Xbox One. We will reveal how you can get the helmet and what materials you need. 

In the Coral Highlands, you may have noticed these little creatures popping up from the ground like small snakes. When they stick their heads out, they wiggle back and forth and almost look like they are dancing in the wind.

Let it wobble! – The event quest comes with a special head

You can now take on the event quest “Let it wobble!” in Monster Hunter World. It comes with a super quirky reward. By successfully completing the quest, you can craft a gigantic helmet that looks exactly like a wobble worm from the Coral Highlands.

To participate in the quest, you must be at least Hunter Rank 11 – Here we show you how to level up your Hunter Rank. The quest itself is not a big challenge.

The event quest “Let it wobble!” is available to you until March 8.

Wobble Worm Quest

Equip a Ghillie Mantle and roam through Area 1

The quest is a delivery quest. You need to catch a total of 10 wobble worms to complete the assignment successfully. Since the worms are extremely shy, it’s best to bring the Ghillie Mantle, which makes you invisible for a while.

To get my 10 wobble worms, I just walked back and forth in Area 1 in the Coral Highlands a few times. A lot of these little creatures appear here. As soon as you approach a group of wobble worms, take out your net.

You can catch the worms as soon as the target rectangle lights up orange. Once you catch a worm, the others immediately hide back in the ground. But that’s not a problem. If you just step away for a moment, they will slowly reappear from the ground and continue to wiggle happily.

By the way, the Ghillie Mantle is not strictly necessary. If you sneak up to the worms carefully and crouched, they will stay out as well.

Wobble Worm Visor

Go to the smithy with the Wobble Worm Ticket

As a reward, you will receive a Wobble Worm Ticket from the “Let it wobble!” quest. With it, you can now go to the smithy and unlock your Wobble Worm helmet. In the tweet below from the “Monster Hunter” Twitter, you can see the head animated.

  • Shamos Leather x 4
  • Gajau Scale x 4
  • Coral Bone x 3
You can find all important items from Monster Hunter World at these locations

These base values are for the Wobble Worm head:

  • Rarity: 5
  • Defense: 46
  • Slots: 1 x 2
  • Against Fire: 0
  • Against Water: 4
  • Against Thunder: 0
  • Against Ice: 0

So clever deutet Blizzard Diablo 3 für die Nintendo Switch an

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

This diabolical nightlight is supposed to hint that Blizzard is releasing their Diablo 3 for the Nintendo Switch.

Blizzard has released a teaser from which many fans conclude a release of Diablo 3 on the Nintendo Switch console. The short video shows a nightlight in the style of Diablo.

Diablo Nightlight – The Connection to the Switch?

The teaser video is only six seconds long and doesn’t even remotely show a console. However, if you think a little outside the box, you can find the connection to Nintendo’s Switch.

The video comes with the description “sweet dreams” and shows how a Diablo nightlight is turned on and off. For the English-speaking audience, the connection is clear: “Someone is switching Diablo on.”

In the comments on the video, the “Diablo Switch” reference is repeatedly read. Perhaps Blizzard wants to announce with a little wordplay puzzle that the popular hack & slash is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

treasure goblin-diablo-3

Since the release of Starcraft for the Nintendo 64 eighteen years ago, there has been no further Nintendo release from Blizzard.

Diablo 3 is the latest title in the series and was released in 2012. Initially, the dungeon crawler was only available for PC, later followed by Xbox and PlayStation. A release for the Switch would therefore be likely. Presumably, Blizzard will soon unveil official information about it.

According to rumors, Fortnite could also be released for the Nintendo Switch this year

Destiny 2: Iron Banner in March 2018 is coming – with these new weapons

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, the Iron Banner is coming in March 2018. Here are the start date, game mode, and the new weapons you can earn.

At the end of March, update 1.1.4 will fundamentally revise the Iron Banner event. Bungie is moving away from the monotonous 4v4 and bringing back the familiar 6v6 Iron Banner.

To adapt the PvP event to the larger number of players per match, further Iron Banner innovations will be implemented. The time limit, point limit, and especially the control mode in the Iron Banner will be revised. You can find all the information about the “new Iron Banner” in Destiny 2 here.

However, all these changes will only take effect at the end of March. This means that the Iron Banner taking place at the beginning of March will still adhere to the old rules. Bungie announced it a few hours ago.

This is what to expect in the March Iron Banner

It is expected that the March Iron Banner will be the last Iron Banner played in 4v4.

  • Start: March 6 (Tuesday) at 6 PM
  • End: March 13 (Tuesday) at 6 PM
  • Game mode: Conflict

Conflict is a straightforward PvP mode. Two four-player teams compete against each other. The team that collects more points through kills within a certain time or reaches a point limit first wins. There are no complicated mechanics – if you die, you respawn shortly after.

destiny-2-eisenbanner

The power level advantages are disabled in the Iron Banner, and there is a normal matchmaking system.

Participation requirements:

  • You must have unlocked the Tower, meaning you need to complete the main campaign.
  • You must be at least Level 20.
  • Then visit Lord Saladin to start an Iron Banner quest.

Turbo building has mainly improved Fortnite: BR on PS4, Xbox One

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

With the update 3.0.0, the architects of Fortnite: Battle Royale had every reason to rejoice: Many improvements have found their way into the game, making building even more efficient. However, there is still a catch!

Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode stands out particularly in terms of building compared to its competitors. With the resources wood, stone, and metal, you can quickly erect large fortresses to protect yourself from your enemies.

However, especially on PS4 and Xbox One, the building mode was considered inconsistent and unreliable for a long time. Incorrect building parts were selected, or a staircase was abruptly interrupted when the currently used resource ran out.

fortnite-treppe

However, with the latest update, Epic has done a lot. Are all players happy now? No – but close!

These changes to the building mode have made Fortnite: Battle Royale better!

Since the last update, the following improvements have made it into the game:

  • The turbo mode allows you to place building parts infinitely while holding down the build button – until your resources are depleted. If you are being shot at, you just have to hold down the build button and turn around in circles, so that your makeshift fortress stands. Extremely practical!
  • With the automatic material switch, a new resource is now automatically selected as soon as the one you just used runs out. You will no longer be jarringly yanked out of your stair building since the cumbersome material switch is eliminated.
  • You are now allowed to place building parts almost anywhere. Before the respective patch, even the tip of a tree was enough to prevent you from building. That’s no longer the case. From now on, you can build almost anywhere, regardless of the surroundings.
fortnite-beste-basis

The defensive playstyle particularly benefits from these changes. Fortresses for protection are erected faster, players are less affected by the environment, and building is not hindered by the automatic material switch.

This makes it harder for attackers to take out players from ambush without resistance (as long as the attacked player reacts quickly). Specifically, less experienced players benefit greatly from the changes to the building mode. 

The turbo mode also allows you to always place a building part under fire – because if a building part is destroyed, it can be rebuilt immediately. You no longer need any specific timing for this.

Is the building mode now perfect? No, one specific feature is still missing!

With our guide, you can quickly build the best fortresses in Fortnite: Battle Royale!

Epic – let us determine the order of building parts

Especially on consoles, you almost always have to skip a building part when building fortresses. Typically, walls are built, followed by a staircase. However, the floor/ceiling tile is still between these two building parts.

fortnite-burg

This is cumbersome and unnecessarily complicates the building process. For this reason, many players wish for a custom remapping of the building parts that is tailored to their needs.

As Epic has proven more than once in the past that they listen to the community’s wishes, the likelihood is great that this feature will come sooner or later. Only then will the building mode be perfect – or?

What features would you like to see for the building mode? Or are you satisfied with the current state?

Battlefield V is reportedly the next installment of the series, set in World War II

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The new Battlefield V has a setting in World War 2, offers loot boxes, and is coming this year – according to rumors. It is not the rumored Bad Company 3, but something new.

In early 2018, Electronic Arts stated that the new Battlefield installment would be released this fall. However, they did not want to disclose further details. Now, GamesBeat reports new information – The new installment of the Battlefield series is reportedly called “Battlefield V” and, like Call of Duty: WWII, is set in World War 2. GamesBeat’s report relies on information from an anonymous source familiar with EA’s plans.

First Battlefield 2, then Battlefield 5

The new installment of the Battlefield series is being developed by DICE in Sweden. According to rumors, the game initially had the working title Battlefield 2 but was later renamed Battlefield V. However, this will not be a remake of Battlefield 2 from 2005, but a completely new game with a WW2 background.

According to an anonymous source, the title is expected to be officially announced by EA soon. This makes sense, as the EA Play event in June is supposed to have the title playable.

Battlefield-1-Wüste-schießen title
BF 1

GamesBeat writes that EA and DICE already decided “years ago” to move away from Battlefield titles that are set in modern or near-future times. Battlefield 1 from 2016 took place in World War 1. This setting had not been used by any previous title in the series. BF1 was and is popular, being one of the best-selling games from EA.

It’s been a while since a Battlefield title focused on World War 2. The last one was Battlefield 1943 from 2009.

battlefield V Leak

The image is said to be a leak of the Battlefield V logo. This comes from Reddit.

Loot boxes in Battlefield V?

According to reports from USGamer, the new Battlefield V will feature loot boxes. These are expected to offer only cosmetic content. So it will work similarly to Battlefield 1, where players can obtain weapon skins from the loot boxes.

Following the bad mood regarding the Star Wars: Battlefront II loot boxes, this decision would not be surprising.

Battlefield 1 Revision 26

The new information is also bad news for fans looking forward to the third installment of the Bad Company series. The source states that DICE currently has no plans to revive the title but is taking fan feedback into account.

Keep in mind that all this information has not been officially confirmed.

Players of Hearthstone say: “Blizzard is patching out the fun”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The changes to Hearthstone are not liked by everyone. Many players feel that Blizzard is “patching out the fun” with the Hall of Fame.

Blizzard has unveiled the future of Hearthstone and created a rough plan for where the journey with the “Year of the Raven” should go. While most players are looking forward to the new expansions and the planned tournament mode, there is also a lot of criticism regarding the banning of three more cards to the “Hall of Fame”.

Three cards are to be banned and will only be playable in Wild Mode:

  • Molten Giant
  • Ice Block
  • Deep Sea Oracle

Hearthstone Cards Year of the Raven Wild
Mixed reactions to the Hall of Fame

The fans’ reactions to this are very mixed. While the Molten Giant is shrugged off by most players, the Ice Block and Deep Sea Oracle are viewed differently.

The Ice Block was a particularly important card for many players that clearly contributed to the identity of the Mage. Being able to play “beyond death” was a unique feature that only the Mage mastered. Many decks relied on the Ice Block to buy just the right amount of time to wipe out the opponent in the next turn.

Hearthstone Jaina Trailer

The disappearance of the Deep Sea Oracle, on the other hand, is hotly debated. The fact is that this will lead to the death of the entire archetype of a deck. A “Mill Deck” that is based on making the opponent draw too many cards so that he “burns” cards and eventually dies of exhaustion will hardly be playable anymore.
The justification from Blizzard is that the card provides too strong “neutral” card draw and thus dilutes the identity of some classes. But as long as the card is in the game, other effects in development would also be restricted, such as Battlecry or effects that return a card to the hand.

In the various Blizzard forums, there are always accusations that the developers have a “fun detector” and that as soon as something outside the desired meta is fun, a “FUN DETECTED” sensor goes off and immediately a patch or nerf is applied. No wonder that once again Reddit is flooded with such statements.

What do you think about the disappearance of these three cards from the game? Is it good for game balance? Or does it rather reduce the variety of decks?

The ranked mode in Hearthstone is causing problems – it’s not running so smoothly!

Destiny 2: Rumble is bigger than ever before – PvP changes in March

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, some PvP innovations are coming in March 2018. The Rumble mode is returning bigger than ever, and the Iron Banner is also getting some changes.

Update 1.1.4 is scheduled for March 27, which will make significant changes to the Crucible of Destiny 2. In the current “This Week at Bungie,” PvP Design Lead Derek Carroll provided more details on these innovations – specifically on the redesign and introduction of PvP modes.

Rumble, Cauldron, and Iron Banner from the end of March

The Rumble mode was a free-for-all mode in Destiny 1 that many Guardians sorely missed in Destiny 2. According to Bungie, it will make a triumphant return with update 1.1.4.

Rumble will be a ruthless mode, without complicated mechanics and especially without points for “Assists,” Carroll stated. You will receive a single point for a kill, just like in the good old days of video games.

destiny-2-pvp-hüter

Moreover, Rumble will be bigger compared to Destiny 1: Instead of six Guardians, eight Guardians will hunt each other in Destiny 2.

The Cauldron mode remains the Cauldron as we know it from the Dawning event. Two teams of four will compete against each other, with abilities charging much faster.

There are greater changes regarding the Iron Banner.

The new Iron Banner starting March 2018

The “new Iron Banner” closely resembles the Iron Banner from Destiny 1. Carroll also mentions this: The Iron Banner should once again align with the old school Iron Banner in the style of the Iron Lords.

With update 1.1.4, several changes will be made:

  • Instead of 4v4, you will fight in 6v6
  • The match time limit will be set to 12 minutes
  • The score limit will be 125 points
  • The respawn time will be 7 seconds
  • All control zones are neutral at the start (if the mode is Control)
  • It will take a little longer to capture control zones
  • More Guardians in a zone accelerate the capture (maximum is 3 Guardians)
  • Guardians involved in capturing zones will receive more super energy

Thus, the Iron Banner, specifically the Control mode in the Iron Banner, will be adjusted to 6v6.

destiny-2-eisenbanner

Rumble, Cauldron, and Iron Banner will be in a weekly playlist, with the modes rotating. They will not be active all the time. According to Bungie, this is to keep the modes fresh.

A double PvP mode is currently in development. The Crimson Doubles was well received, but they want to polish the mode a bit, improve it further, and make it more flexible. Once this is completed, it will also be added to the weekly PvP playlist. There is no release date for this yet.

What else is coming with Update 1.1.4?

  • Sandbox changes to weapons and abilities
  • The heroic strikes will receive modifiers
  • The Iron Banner will be played in 6v6 (all changes see above)
  • A weekly Crucible playlist will come – including Cauldron and Rumble
  • Ammunition and gameplay in the Crucible will be adjusted
  • Penalties for quitters in the Crucible will be implemented
  • A protective mechanism will be introduced to ensure that the map in PvP or the strike does not repeat when you play the playlists.
  • A mechanism will be introduced to prevent you from getting the same exotic repeatedly
  • Unique Nightfall strike rewards will come
  • In the companion app, you can inspect the vendors

Final Fantasy XIV brings Eureka and fan-favorite Hildibrand in March

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 3 minutes

The release date for Content Patch 4.25 of Final Fantasy XIV is set: on March 13, players will be able to enter the Forbidden Land of Eureka. Additionally, fan-favorite Hildibrand returns.

And as a bonus, there is the continuation of the quest line about the amusing adventures of the popular character Hildibrand.

Eureka brings along the relic weapons and armor

Fans of the Final Fantasy series will find the name Eureka quite familiar. In FFIII, the Forbidden Land of Eureka was an optional dungeon where long ago the strongest weapons and spells were sealed away, as they were far too powerful.

final fantasy xiv eureka screenshot

This concept is now being brought to FFXIV by the development team. With the launch of the forbidden land, the first relic quest of Stormblood also goes live.

The unique aspect is: Unlike the Zeta and Anima quests, players will be able to enhance not only their weapons but also job-specific armor in Eureka.

final fantasy xiv relic weapon eureka

However, Eureka operates drastically differently from all other content in Final Fantasy XIV.

Strong elemental currents prevail on the island: Normal levels do not have much effect there.

final fantasy xiv magia

Instead, heroes must collect elemental EXP and distribute it on the special “Magia Board” in such a way that they can optimally exploit the elemental strengths and weaknesses of their opponents.

All currently known information about the extensive leveling and combat system of Eureka can be read in our article about it:

The Forbidden Land of Eureka is the new concept of Final Fantasy XIV

The master detective Hildibrand is back

The adventures of the legendary master detective Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville enter the next round!

The humorous quest line about the miserable yet good-hearted detective Hildibrand became so popular among players that producer Naoki Yoshida promised to continue it in Stormblood.

After his last excursion to Dravanian in the Heavensward expansion, Hildi is now headed to the far east to Kugane. 

Because there, a thief named Lone Wolf is putting the rich upper class of the city into a panic, and Hildibrand’s loyal assistant Nashu is already hot on his heels.

Spring has just arrived in Final Fantasy XIV, and it must be celebrated with a seasonal quest:

How to get the cards of the Ratings Refresh in Ultimate Team

As soon as the winter upgrade cards are released, they can be pulled from packs. The only requirement is that the pack must contain players. The “old” cards of the respective players will no longer be found in packs from this moment on.

If you already own a card of a player who is being upgraded, that card will remain unchanged. It will not be automatically updated. If you want the player’s card with improved attributes, you must pull it from a pack. It is also possible to purchase the winter upgrade cards from other players on the transfer market.

Attention: The cards are particularly rare and therefore overpriced shortly after release. If you want to buy an upgraded card for your team, it is advisable to wait at least a few days before making the purchase.

How the Inform cards behave in the Ratings Refresh is somewhat complicated. You can find out in our overview of the Ratings Refresh in FUT 18. There, we list all previous Ratings Refresh cards.

The Division celebrates 20 million players, repeating all 4 global events in March

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Massive announces all 4 global events for March 2018 to celebrate the 2nd anniversary and 20 million players in The Division.

The State of the Game just aired on March 1. The topic included the upcoming 2nd anniversary of The Division. They revealed an interesting number today: Since the game’s launch on March 8, 2016, 20 million agents have played The Division.

To celebrate, all 4 global events will be repeated in March 2018. The first one is “Outbreak”, which has already been running since 6 PM today and will be online until Monday (March 5).

You have the opportunity this March to get the coveted classified sets with increased chances, as a global event will run every weekend!

The announced changes to the drop chances for classified gear will not be included in the game yet. These are planned for the future. Otherwise, they are the “normal” four global events that have already taken place. They will now be repeated in a shortened form.

When will the global events be repeated? – Schedule

division-sneeze

In addition, you will receive a free emote in March. Officially, it is called “Sneeze”, but it is actually meant to represent the well-known Dab. You can pick it up in March at the rewards vendor in the base. It should become available in the coming hours.

Twitch Drops

Additionally, there will be Twitch Drops throughout the entire month. This means: By watching streams on the official The Division Twitch channel, you can earn small rewards. However, you need to link your Ubisoft account with Twitch.

division-twitch-drops

The action starts tomorrow, on March 2. Here are all the details about the Twitch Drops summarized.

Massive will actively stream this month, especially when the global events are online.
