Cortyn 10. January 2018 Reading time 5 minutes

The latest Overwatch patch brought many bug fixes and numerous skins. We reveal what all is included in update 1.19 / 2.28.

Since last night (01/09/2018), the latest update for Overwatch is live. Patch 1.19 (PC) or 2.28 (PlayStation 4 / Xbox One) primarily unlocks the League skins that can now be purchased in the game. Players can now also watch Overwatch League games directly in Overwatch – the game features its own streaming menu to Twitch.

Aside from that, update 1.19 / 2.28 is a major bug fix patch that eliminates many errors in the game:

Especially Doomfist receives several improvements, his abilities should now work more reliably and no longer be plagued by as many bugs.
Junkrat, on the other hand, has to face a slight nerf to his Kamikaze tire, as he can now be heard at full volume by the opposing team at all times, even when he is in the air.

Below you will find the complete patch notes.

Angeblicher Wahlbetrug kostet Shroud of the Avatar einen 1. Platz

Andreas Bertits 10. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The website MassivelyOP asked readers in a survey about the most anticipated MMORPG for 2018 – and Shroud of the Avatar almost made it. But alleged electoral fraud got in the way of victory.

It is indeed paradoxical to nominate a game for the most anticipated MMORPG 2018, when it is stated in the FAQ of the Kickstarter campaign “Although Shroud of the Avatar will not be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, it will be a multiplayer game.” However, the developers now consider the game an MMORPG.

SotA in 1st Place – Yet Still Doesn’t Win

Other MMOs were nominated for the vote on the US site, including Crowfall, WoW Classic, Ashes of Creation, Chronicles of Elyria, and many others. About 2200 readers of the site voted.

In the end, Shroud of the Avatar managed to close the gap significantly and even fought its way to the first place. The game owed this to the community, which mobilized all active players in the official forum, via Steam, and also in the game itself. In the end, 387 votes were collected.

Nevertheless, the first place ultimately went to Crowfall. The editors of MassivelyOP explain that there were discrepancies during the voting. It is suspected electoral fraud because most votes for SotA were suddenly cast one morning. Of course, the game’s community is now greatly disappointed.

In Mein MMO Survey, SotA Not Even in the Top 10

By the way: In the Mein MMO survey for the “Most Anticipated Online Game 2018”, Shroud of the Avatar – without support from the SotA community – didn’t even make it into the Top 10. This shows how the tastes of readers differ from site to site, demonstrating that a lot depends on whether the active communities of the games promote their game in such surveys or not.

Potential Flop 2018?

In contrast, Shroud of the Avatar took second place in another survey by MassivelyOP. This one focused on potential flops of 2018. First place, by the way, was occupied by Star Citizen.

This survey and of course the ranking upset the fans of the online role-playing game SotA a lot, and they do not want to accept it, as only about 200 people cast their votes.

Shroud of the Avatar is set to officially release on March 27 – provided the game is in good standing at that time.

How to dye your Chocobo in Final Fantasy XIV – Guide with color list

Irina Moritz 10. January 2018 Reading time 7 minutes

In our guide about coloring the Chocobo in Final Fantasy XIV, we explain how to give your mount the right look.

Final Fantasy XIV follows the tradition of the offline FF games and gives the player their own Chocobo, which becomes a loyal companion and ally as they level up. In this guide, we explain one of the ways to customize your Chocobo: coloring.

How to get a Chocobo and color your mount

Once you have completed the main story quest at level 20 in FFXIV and joined a Grand Company, the quest “My Little Chocobo” becomes available at the respective Chocobo stalls. For this quest, you buy a Chocobo license from the Grand Company Quartermaster for 200 Company Seals, give it to the Chocobo vendor, and Olé!: you have a bird.

Now the game gives you the dilemma of naming this bird and customizing it in other ways. One of the ways is coloring the feathers, which is far from intuitive.

Coloring works according to the usual RGB system. The default color of the bird is desert yellow with RGB values of 219/180/87. So if you don’t want your proud steed to look like a running banana, you have to feed the Chocobo very specific fruits that affect the RGB values of its feathers.

There are two ways to get the fruits:

You can buy them directly from the market board under “Mixed”.
You can get the seeds from the Grand Company Hunt Master and plant them in your own garden (available only starting from level 50).

Each fruit has its own effect on the RGB value of the Chocobo’s feathers. Here is an overview table:

Fruit	Effect	R/G/B
Cieldalian Pineapple	Decreases the blue tone and increases the green and red	+5/+5/-5
Xelphatol Apple	Increases the red tone and decreases the blue and green	+5/-5/-5
Doma Plum	Decreases the red tone and increases the blue and green	-5/+5/+5
Val Fruit	Decreases the green tone and increases the blue and red	+5/-5/+5
Mamook Pear	Increases the green tone and decreases the blue and red	-5/+5/-5
O’Ghomoro Berry	Increases the blue tone and decreases the red and green	-5/-5/+5

The Han Lemon resets the color of the Chocobo back to “Desert Yellow”.

If you start from the default color and give the Chocobo, for example, 4 O’Ghomoro Berries, then the blue value of the feathers increases by 20 points, red and green decrease by the same amount, resulting in a new RGB value of 199/160/107. The game then adjusts these values to the closest matching color in the system. Therefore, the goal is to feed a combination of fruits that brings the RGB value as close as possible to the desired color.

Sounds complicated, but it isn’t. In the end, you just stuff the bird with the specified amount of fruits until its feathers reach the desired RGB value.

To be able to feed the Chocobo at all, you first need to put it in a stable; it doesn’t matter whether it’s your own or the Free Company’s. However, you need to pay attention to the following:

You should carefully watch which fruits you give to the Chocobo and ideally administer them alternately to avoid accidentally exceeding one of the RGB values over 255 or below 0.
If you exceed an RGB value over 255 or below 0 while feeding, the recoloring will fail.
The bird must spend at least 6 hours (real time) in the stable after successful feeding. Only then will its color change.
If you made a mistake, you can remove the Chocobo from the stable to abort the coloring process.
If you have already fed your bird and are unsure what RGB value its feathers have, you can use the Han Lemon to reset the color back to “Desert Yellow”.

The tables below show you the exact amounts of fruits that you need to give the Chocobo to achieve the desired color. The RGB value of “Desert Yellow” is the base color.

Pokémon GO trennt sich bald von diesen älteren Apple-Geräten

Patrick Freese 10. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Pokémon GO are discontinuing support for some older Apple devices that do not support iOS 11.

Pokémon GO is becoming increasingly modern, utilizing new features of iOS operating systems to enhance the game. Those who cannot keep up will be left behind. For this reason, trainers with outdated Apple iPhones and iPads will soon be unable to play Pokémon GO.

We will show you which devices are affected by this exclusion.

iPhone 5 and Pokémon GO part ways

In a blog post, the developers of Pokémon GO explain that they will discontinue support for some Apple devices in an upcoming update.

Affected are iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c models with the model identifiers:

iPhone 5 (2012): A1428, A1429, A1442
iPhone 5c (2013): A1456, A1507, A1516, A1529, A1532

Additionally, the following iPad devices will no longer be supported by the upcoming update:

iPad 2 (2011): A1395, A1396, A1397
iPad Mini (1st generation, late 2012): A1432, A1454, A1455
iPad (3rd generation, early 2012): A1416, A1430, A1403
iPad (4th generation, late 2012): A1458, A1459, A1460

This change takes effect on February 28, 2018. The developers explain: Those playing Pokémon GO with the devices mentioned from this point on may

Not be able to access their Pokémon GO account
Not be able to use PokéCoins
Not be able to use items

Pokémon GO AR+ Preview2 — The new AR+ mode in Pokémon GO

The reason for the changes is the latest enhancements in Pokémon GO that require features of the iOS 11 operating system. Since the aforementioned devices do not support these features (as they cannot be updated to iOS 11), support will be discontinued.

Niantic wants to ensure that trainers have the best possible gaming experience.

Trainers with outdated devices will be unable to utilize these features and may experience issues and bugs in the game. Such decisions are driven by the progress of technology.

The unfair EX Raid system is currently causing a lot of discussion in the Pokémon GO community. This YouTuber is now taking a break because he has had enough of the system.

WoW Fantheorie: Nicht Azeroth wird verdorben, sondern Elune

Cortyn 10. January 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

A new theory has solid evidence that in WoW it is not Azeroth that is in danger – but the Moon Goddess Elune is slowly being corrupted.

During the time “between” two expansions of World of Warcraft, fans spin many theories about the future of Azeroth. While some are quite absurd and can be easily refuted, there are indeed well-thought-out theories with substantial evidence that cannot be easily dismissed.

Basically, the theory of the YouTuber Pyromancer suggests that it is not Azeroth that has a major problem with corruption, but Elune.

He has gathered hints of this in the last major raid instances. In the Tomb of Sargeras, there is a fight against the Sisters of the Moon. The battle takes place on a platform that clearly represents the moon and thus Elune. As a result, we have a pretty accurate idea of what the surface of the moon looks like, what craters it has, and what special geological formations look like.

You can also see Elune from Elunaria

Comparing these formations with other representations in the game reveals parallels. For instance, from Elunaria, the planet where Eonar’s soul was hidden, you can also see two moons. What looks like random planets are in fact Elune and the blue child – the moons of Azeroth.

However, Elune looks strange from Elunaria. There are purple lines that stretch across the moon, strongly reminiscent of the corruption of the Old Gods.

WoW Elune Elunaria — On the left “Elune” in the Tomb of Sargeras, on the right in “Elunaria” in Antorus. The image snippets show the same craters.

Shadow Priests receive special treatment again in the Tomb of Sargeras. After the battle against the Sisters of the Moon, they are urged by their artifact weapon Xal’atath to draw power from Elune (Xal’atath wants to corrupt this power). However, if the Shadow Priest tries this, they are immediately killed by Elune.

However, it is also possible that Blizzard has repeatedly used the planet texture of the moon, assuming that players wouldn’t notice. The fact that both Elune and the blue child can be seen from “Elunaria” clearly indicates that Elunaria is near Azeroth.

Starseer Etraeus

The fight against Starseer Etraeus in the Nighthold has fueled many speculations, as he shows different planets in his three phases that have either been corrupted by the Old Gods or the Legion.

For a long time, it was thought that the corrupted planet was Azeroth – but upon closer inspection, this does not seem to be the case. For the texture of the corrupted planet seen by Etraeus resembles Elune from the Tomb of Sargeras and Elunaria!

WoW Elune Elunaria Etraeus — On the left the planet in the fight with Etraeus, on the right in Elunaria – both have the same patterns. Is this Elune?

This would also only make sense. Since the observatory is located on Azeroth, it would be strange if we were to see Azeroth from there.

The most likely theory is that Etraeus’s observatory is capable of piercing the veil around Azeroth (more on this later).

More planets than we can see

At the same time, Pyromancer points out another strange fact: We cannot see from Azeroth what we should be seeing.

From Azeroth, we can only see a few planets in the sky – namely Elune, the blue moon, and the sun, as well as temporarily Argus through a tear in space. However, there are many more planets in the immediate vicinity of Azeroth!

WoW Etraeus Planets around Azeroth — Etraeus shows us that there are many planets around Azeroth.

How do we know this? In the game, there are many star maps. For example, in Ulduar, they can be admired or in the Tomb of Sargeras. Even the Nightborne have many structures that represent star maps, where several planets can be identified.

But why can we not see all these planets, which are apparently already surrounded by the tentacles of the Old Gods? The answer to this question brings us to the next point: the veil around Azeroth.

The veil surrounding Azeroth

An important question posed by Pyromancer in the video is why we cannot see all these planets from Azeroth? After all, players have been observing the sky for years and only see three celestial bodies: the moon (Elune), the smaller blue moon (“the blue child”) and the sun.

WoW Azeroth Shrouded Planets — The “veil” around Azeroth and planets we cannot see from Azeroth.

The reason for this is easily found: The inhabitants of Azeroth are not supposed to see the other planets. There is a veil surrounding Azeroth that prevents certain things from being seen. From an outside perspective, they are perceptible, but as long as one is on Azeroth, they cannot be recognized.

There is even concrete evidence for the veil that has been in the game for a long time. For example, if one looks at the world map showing the three playable planets (Azeroth, Draenor (WoD), Broken Isles), only Azeroth is surrounded by a thick fog, apparently created by Aman’thul.

WoW Map Azeroth Shrouded — Azeroth is surrounded by a strange fog – even on the world map.

In summary, the theory is based on two important points:

Elune is being corrupted, possibly by the Old Gods.
There are many more planets in close proximity to Azeroth that are already corrupted.

Whether there is any truth to this theory, we will likely find out in the coming months when Battle for Azeroth kicks off!

What do you think about this theory? Does it make sense and feel consistent to you? Or do you need a very large tin foil hat to believe it?

Overwatch League Skins are here – Here’s how much they cost and what they look like!

Cortyn 10. January 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The League Skins for Overwatch have arrived. We will tell you which ones are available, what they cost, and how you can get them!

Fans have long waited and speculated about the costs of League Tokens and how they will be implemented in Overwatch. Since last night (January 9, 2018), there is a new menu item “Overwatch League” in the main menu of Overwatch, under which all skins can be purchased. But what are the new League Skins about and what do they cost? We reveal all the details in this article.

What are the Overwatch League Skins?

LosAngeles Valiants Mercy Overwatch League

Blizzard is hosting its own eSports tournament with the Overwatch League and has spared no expense or effort to make the event as glamorous as possible. This also means that all 12 participating teams receive complete color schemes for all characters – that is, 26 skins in the team’s colors, sometimes even adorned with the team’s logos.

How do you get Overwatch League Skins? What do they cost? What are League Tokens?

The Overwatch League Skins are not available in loot boxes. They can be purchased individually for 100 League Tokens in the game.

The League Tokens can only be purchased for real money as a new premium currency in Overwatch.
100 Tokens cost 5€ (= 1 Skin)
2,600 Tokens (= 26 Skins, or all skins of a team) are available at a reduced price of 100€.
Players receive 100 League Tokens for free once when they log into Overwatch before February 13. This allows a desired skin to be purchased for free.
If someone wants to own all the Skins of the Overwatch League, they will need 31,200 League Tokens – or 1,200€!

When purchasing skins through League Tokens, a portion of the profit is paid out to the teams whose skins you purchase. So if you want to support your favorite team, you can consider buying one or another skin.

Highlights among the League Skins

Regardless of the favorites at the Overwatch League, fans have already chosen some skins that look particularly cool. Here is a small selection of the most popular skins from the Overwatch League.

What do you think of the Overwatch League skins and will you buy any? Or do you find the skins boring and don’t want to spend money on Overwatch?

Have you read that the Overwatch League will be exclusively streamed on Twitch for two years?

Bungie confirms: The Crimson Week is coming back soon to Destiny 2!

Robert Albrecht 10. January 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Veterans will remember: In Destiny 1, the week around Valentine’s Day was celebrated with a special event in 2016. Bungie now confirms that the Crimson Week will return in Destiny 2 !

What is Crimson Week?

The “Crimson Week” event is meant to celebrate Valentine’s Day. For this occasion, the Tower was festively decorated with roses and hearts back in February 2016. New cosmetic items were introduced, and a special PvP mode was held.

This Crucible mode was playable only as a “Couple”; you had to find your partner yourself – there was no matchmaking.

The special thing about this mode called Crimson Doubles was the modifier “Broken Heart”: When your partner dies, you are driven by vengeance, you glow red, can draw your weapon faster, and recover from damage taken more quickly. This way, seemingly lost matches could still be turned around.

Destiny Tower Crimson — During Crimson Week in Destiny 1, the Tower was completely wrapped in red

In the game files on PC, clear hints have now been discovered that Crimson Week will return in Destiny 2. The information was compiled by Redditor Ginsor. He found symbols and text lines that explicitly refer to it.

At first, there was uncertainty whether this was a well-made fake. But now Bungie’s Community Manager Cozmo confirmed on Reddit that Crimson Week will return. The rumors are true, he writes. The event will not play out exactly like in 2016, but yes, Crimson Week is coming back. More official information will be available on Thursday.

Can we expect only cosmetic items again?

The Redditor Ginsor, who published the information, speaks of many new cosmetic items and a direct link to Eververse. He supports this with scripts he found in the depths of the game files (freely translated):

Guardians honor their indestructible bonds with their partner on and off the battlefield by participating in the Crucible event Crimson Week. But first, follow the rose petals in the Tower to Tess Everis – she has something for you.
“Talk to Tess Everis to receive your first Crimson Week Engram as a gift!”

The following cosmetic items have been allegedly associated with Crimson Week by the Redditor:

Emotes
Ghosts
Ornaments
Shaders
Mods
Transmat effects
Sparrows

Further texts suggest that there will be bundles available for purchase in Eververse again. Additionally, a special ghost is supposed to count the kills you achieve during Crimson Week. An overview of the cosmetic items was provided as well:

Information about the new weapon ornaments has appeared earlier.

Even if much suggests that the Crimson event revolves mainly around Eververse, the Redditor warns that the game files had already been present before the onset event. It is therefore conceivable that Bungie has made adjustments based on player feedback in the meantime that have not yet made their way into the game.

Crimson Week in the Crucible

According to the texts found in the game files, the PvP event will likely run similarly to 2016:

“Talk to Lord Shaxx to learn more about his love for Crimson Week.”
“Shaxx congratulates you and your partner for contested battles and deserved victories during Crimson Week – and rewards you for it!”
“Complete Crimson Doubles matches”
“Win a Crimson Week match in Sudden Death”

These scripts imply that the Crimson Doubles mode will return. More information is not yet known. What ‘Sudden Death’ will be, we will see.

What does the raid have to do with Crimson Week?

Unlike in Destiny 1, Crimson Week will likely also influence the raid this time. How exactly this will play out is not known, as the Redditor found no text passages regarding it.

However, graphics have surfaced, especially an image that can be assigned to the raid (top left):

Keep in mind that this leaked information has not yet been officially confirmed. Bungie has only revealed that Crimson Week will return.

What do you think about the return of Crimson Week?

Beta Ahoi! In a few days, the closed beta test of Sea of Thieves invites pirates to try it out.

Closed Beta of Sea of Thieves – Start and End

Players who registered in the Insider Program of Sea of Thieves before December 1st, or pre-ordered the game, can set sail on the open seas of the game in a few days.

The closed beta of Sea of Thieves starts on January 24 at 14:00 and lasts until January 28.

The special thing about this test is that the NDA clause does not come into effect. We can share our pirate adventures in the community and feed you with information.

However, during this test, we will not have access to all the features that the full version will offer. The developers want to create excitement for more and give an impression of what is possible. For this purpose, a “tailored gaming experience” has been crafted to give beta participants a feel for the pirate adventure.

Gameplay Video – This is how Sea of Thieves plays

For pre-orders:

Those who pre-ordered the game through the Xbox or Windows Store will see the game in their game library 24 hours before the start of the closed beta. Then you will need to download and install the game.
Those who pre-ordered Sea of Thieves at a retailer as a physical version must activate the code for the Black Dock Cosmetic Pack. Once activated, the game will appear in your library (24 hours before the start of the beta). You will then need to download and install the game.

The full release of the pirate adventure is on March 20, 2018, for Xbox One and Windows systems.

Viseris, the fastest car in GTA 5 Online, is surprisingly affordable

Patrick Freese 9. January 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Actually, the fastest cars in GTA 5 Online are expensive, but the newest fastest car is surprisingly cheap.

Regularly, the developers at Rockstar Games expand the online vehicle fleet of GTA 5. From flying motorcycles to jetpacks to racing cars with machine guns, players experience a lot of choices when purchasing vehicles.

The latest car addition has a higher top speed than any other car. And apparently, Rockstar wants as many of you to buy it as possible, because the price is unusually low.

Lampadati Viseris – Fastest Car in GTA 5 Online

For the Viseris, probably everyone of you has enough cash unless you have taken a liking to the overpowered orbital cannon. The Viseris can be purchased for a mere 875,000 GTA$ at Legendary Motorsport. A bargain!

Especially for a sports car in GTA 5 Online, the purchase price is low. Now many players suspect that while the car looks quite impressive (inspired by the De Tomaso Pantera), it may not be able to keep up with top cars.

Well, that’s not entirely correct. Surprisingly, the Viseris has the highest top speed in the game and is thus the fastest car. YouTuber Broughy1322 has already tested the car thoroughly and found out that it easily outpaces other supercars on straight roads. As a sports classic car, it reaches 146.5 mph compared to the fastest supercar, the Pfister 811, which only reaches 132.5 mph.

A Bug Makes the Viseris the Fastest Car

As YouTuber Broughy1322 explains in his video, apparently a bug causes the car to be incredibly fast. In the past, bugs with vehicle suspensions in GTA 5 Online have already been observed, causing some cars to drive faster than planned.

Whether this “bug” was intentionally left in by Rockstar to make the Viseris more appealing? Possibly, the error will soon be fixed, causing the Viseris to lose its top speed again. This cannot be guaranteed at this time.

Also, keep in mind that while the Viseris has the best top speed, it doesn’t win every race. On twisty racetracks, other vehicles have clear advantages, and the Viseris is pushed aside.

Twitch has Overwatch League exclusive for 2 years – No German casters

Schuhmann 9. January 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Twitch and Blizzard have signed a 2-year deal for the broadcasting rights to the Overwatch League. Overwatch is a shooter for PS4, Xbox One, and PC: Blizzard aims to establish it as a professional eSports.

For the coming years, the streaming service Twitch holds the official broadcasting rights to the matches of the Overwatch League. The league starts on the night from Wednesday to Thursday.

The deal is set for 2 years and also includes the playoffs and championship matches. In addition to English, the streams will be available in French and Korean. Twitch will not provide German commentators (casters).

The deal is valid worldwide except for China – Blizzard will likely team up with another partner there.

Teams faced issues finding sponsors because the deal came so late

The deal was long anticipated, and it likely made it difficult for the teams that the Blizzard-Twitch partnership for Overwatch was announced so late.

According to the US site PC Gamer, the owner of the San Francisco Shock stated it would have been easier if they could have told sponsors a month ago who the distribution partner of the league is, but that’s how it is.

There weren’t really many doubts that Blizzard and Twitch would team up. Both companies have already collaborated on tournaments for other games.

The business site Venturebeat believes: Another option for Blizzard could have been Facebook, but the channel is not established for eSports. Twitch, which belongs to Amazon, however, already is.

Overwatch League aims to set new standards

The Overwatch League from Blizzard is modeled after American sports leagues like the NFL or the NBA:

The teams are assigned to individual cities,
the players have contracts, so they are professionals
the schedule is broad – the league starts on Wednesday and lasts until June, with playoffs in July.

Overwatch currently not yet at the top of eSports

With Twitch as a strong partner for eSports, the Overwatch League has all doors open, however, there are still some question marks:

In 2017, Overwatch was not in the top 5 for prize money, but only ranked 7th, still behind Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone. Overwatch was far behind giants like Dota 2, CS: GO, or League of Legends in 2017.

Overwatch-Preisgeld — Prize money 2017 – Source: eSportsearnings.com

Even on Twitch, Overwatch is currently not at the top, here it is, according to market researchers from newzoo, in terms of viewer numbers in 4th place – also behind LoL, CS: GO, and Dota 2.

Zeit-Gesehen-Twitch — These are the numbers for November 2017, in which eSports were viewed on Twitch.

Perhaps Blizzard can eliminate these doubts in the coming weeks and months with the Overwatch League. A home has now been found.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on January 9th – Nightfall Strike, Flashpoint

Tom Rothstein 9. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 today, on January 9th, is the Weekly Reset. New activities come with the weekly reset, such as the Nightfall strike and the Flashpoint.

A thrilling Destiny week is ahead, as Bungie is expected to finally reveal the path Destiny 2 will take in 2018 during the night from Thursday to Friday.

How will the developers respond to all the feedback and criticism regarding the Eververse? How will the endgame be revised? When will Iron Banner and Faction Rally return? Game director Christopher Barrett announced “good information” regarding the future of Destiny 2. We will report on this soon.

Additionally, the Winter Event “The Dawning” ends today at 6 PM. For three weeks, you could throw snowballs at friends and foes, gift NPCs, and celebrate your light in the Cauldron. Now the festivities are over.

Let’s see what new things this week brings.

Nightfall starting January 9th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

This week, The Arms Dealer is the Nightfall.

The modifiers:

Prism: Attacks matching the displayed element deal more damage. Other elemental damage is reduced. The element changes.
Timewarp: Time Streak: Defeat enemies to extend the mission timer.

The challenges:

Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
Complete the Nightfall with less than 3 deaths.
Destroy a Harvester while fighting Bracus Tynoc.

Flashpoint, Raid Challenge, Treasure Maps, Meditations

The Flashpoint is on Earth in the EDZ. There, you can master public events.

The raid challenge takes place in the Throne Room with Calus.

Cayde-6 has treasure maps for the EDZ.

In the Eververse, you can obtain the Gallop and “Bureaucratic Walk” emote, as well as “Ikora’s Iron Will” (ship) and ornaments for the Prospector and D.A.R.C.I. for Glimmer.

Ikora Rey still mistakenly has a waypoint above her. She brings meditations for the missions 1 AE, Theft, and Well-Stored.

By the way: Shortly after the weekly reset, it’s still snowing in the Tower. Snowballs are still lying around. However, no Dawning items can be earned or Dawning milestones completed anymore.

The next event after the Dawning may already be in February:

WoW: Paladin defeats current raid boss after 8 hours of solo fight

Cortyn 9. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Another boss from Antorus, the current raid of WoW, has been soloed. This time, a Paladin succeeded in defeating the Garothi Worldbreaker.

World of Warcraft: Legion is nearing its end. The upcoming Patch 7.3.5 is almost complete and should soon be transferred from the PTR to the live servers. At the same time, many players are still flocking to the current raid, Antorus, the Burning Throne.

WoW Antorus Garothi Worldbreaker Screen wowhead

Although most bosses are relatively challenging in normal mode, this is still not a real challenge for some players. The protection Paladin Rextroy figured that he did not need other players and faced the Garothi Worldbreaker – and was successful!

With an exploit to solo kill the Garothi Worldbreaker

The method Rextroy used is borderline an exploit. The fight lasted more than 8 hours. The reason for this is that the Garothi Worldbreaker goes into a rage after a few minutes, dealing deadly damage.

However, all of the Worldbreaker’s abilities have a range of only 60 meters – so Rextroy only had to move out of range and wait to avoid the damage.

To deal the necessary damage, he used various cooldowns every 5 minutes, such as Divine Shield, to get close to the boss, deal some damage, and then return to a safe distance.

These ultra-rare items in PUBG have a 0.01% drop chance

Patrick Freese 9. January 2018 Reading time 5 minutes

In the new loot boxes from PUBG, there is extremely rare loot. The chances for this are very low – especially compared to loot box items from Overwatch or Destiny 2.

The developers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds presented a new update that is currently on the test servers. Included are bug fixes and cheater reporting functions as well as two new types of loot boxes.

One of them can be opened for free, while the other requires a paid key.

Chances for cosmetic items below 1%

The two new loot boxes increase the pool of boxes in PUBG from two to four. When the patch goes live, you will have a chance to drop one of the following loot boxes when spending BP:

Survivor or Wanderer Box – These are the old boxes. They have a 10% drop chance.
Desperado Box – One of the new boxes. Has a 40% drop rate and requires a paid Early Bird key to open. A price for this has not yet been announced.
Biker Box – The second new box. Also has a 40% drop rate but can be opened for free.

To provide as much transparency as possible, the developers explained the chances for the individual items from the loot boxes. This makes it clear that some clothes are so rare that many players will probably never see them in their inventory.

In the Biker Box, the chances for special items are at 0.01% – statistically meaning that one of those items is found in one out of 10,000 boxes.

Loot Box Comparison with Overwatch and Destiny 2

In other popular games like Overwatch or Destiny 2, the contents of the loot boxes are divided into various rarity categories. In Blizzard’s shooter Overwatch, legendary skins are particularly sought after. They change a character’s appearance almost entirely.

Overwatch players have a 7.4% chance that a loot box contains a legendary item. This corresponds to about every 13.5 boxes. However, players have discovered that this is apparently just a minimum, and the chances are sometimes higher. Additionally, the developers at Blizzard reduced the chance of duplicates.

In Destiny 2, there are Glimmer engrams. These contain, like in Overwatch, four items. However, the developers at Bungie do not disclose the chances of the contents. The rarest item tier in Destiny is “Exotic” and according to the experiences of many YouTubers, the chance for this is between eight to ten “boxes”.

What do you get for your money?

The cost for the Early Bird keys that you need to open the paid boxes in PUBG has not yet been revealed by PUBG Corp. It is assumed that prices will be around $2.50 again. So much as the key for the Gamescom box from PUBG cost.

This would be about the standard price that you would pay for keys from CS:GO, Killing Floor 2, and other games with such loot box systems.

However, you pay $2.50 for a single item in PUBG compared to four items in Overwatch. In Destiny 2, there are also 4 items, but some of those are fillers.

The value of your money is therefore more on the side of Overwatch than PUBG. The cost of a single box is at most around $1 in Overwatch and about $2 in Destiny 2.

Additionally, there is the poor progression system in PUBG. Overwatch rewards you with a loot box at every level-up. No matter how good or bad you play, you can look forward to a new box after each level up. It works similarly in Destiny 2, although the path to the loot box takes longer here.

In PUBG, you only get the boxes if you exchange them with the in-game currency “BP”. You receive some BPs when you finish a match. The better you perform in that match, the higher the BP reward.

There are still some opportunities to improve the game in PUBG.

Bless hat ein Herz für PvE-Fans mit Dungeons für Solo-Spieler & Raids

Jürgen Horn 9. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In the upcoming MMORPG Bless (PC) by Neowiz, there will be exciting dungeons for PvE fans. These instances bring not only loot and feelings of success while playing through but also curious stories.

Bless is set to launch in Europe and the USA soon after a long back and forth. Therefore, the developers are showcasing more of their game. This time it’s the dungeons that are getting attention. According to the folks at Neowiz, they are not just vehicles for loot.

Dungeons for Every Taste

As in most MMORPGs, there are dungeons in Bless. In these instances, dangerous creatures are waiting for you, and therefore, there is particularly good loot as a reward. Bless offers simple solo dungeons, but also epic 10-person raid instances. Those who manage to get through can enjoy the success alongside the loot.

Because tough dungeons require teamwork and skill. Bless aims to offer not only fans of epic realm-vs-realm PvP battles something but also to make PvE enthusiasts happy.

Each dungeon in Bless is supposed to tell a story. The instances are not just soulless dungeons and ruins that simply rot away in the vegetation. Each dungeon has a backstory that is supposed to be woven into the main plot of Bless.

Necromancers, Sexy Snake Ladies, and Killer Cats!

On the Steam page of Bless, the developers have already posted a few screenshots of various dungeons and bosses. And these images already make you eager for more. You can see, among other things:

A kind of nasty necromancer conjuring greedy, ghostly hands from the ground.
A scantily clad female figure seemingly having a snake body.
A floating, horned creature with a sort of club.
Two extremely mean-looking cat beings with jewel-studded turbans in a crystal cave. The beasts look almost like the evil cousins of the Palicos from Monster Hunter World!

Bless might still come to Steam in early 2018. Then we will finally find out what the deal is with the cat monsters. Maybe the impression is misleading, and they just want to play?

Bless looks great, but will it also be good? Find out here!

In A:IR könnt Ihr Monster züchten & eigene Monster zusammensetzen

Jürgen Horn 9. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Bluehole’s upcoming MMORPG Ascent: Infinite Realm (A:IR) features a monster breeding system. You can reassemble individual parts of creatures to create your personal mounts and pets.

Ascent: Infinite Realm (A:IR) by Bluehole is set to be a fast-paced action MMO with steampunk mechs and airships. This has been known for some time. However, new is the monster breeding feature, which a clever beta tester recently discovered.

The monster construction kit for the perfect mount or pet

In A:IR, there is housing and among the buildable objects, there is also a stable. In it, you can create monsters. There are various “monster memories” that you can find in the game as quest rewards.

The special feature of the system is that you can freely combine the parts. While only components of the same monster type can be used for now, the variations are already impressive. The beta tester Sera has already experimented with a griffin and a lion, posting pictures of them in the forum.

Thus, the lion could become a winged lion creature or gain an even more magnificent mane. The monsters bred this way can then be used as mounts and probably also as pets in the game.

PUBG update introduces 2 new loot boxes and improved reporting feature

Patrick Freese 9. January 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

On the PUBG(PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) test servers, the new loot boxes and the reporting feature are already being tested.

A new update for the battle royale shooter “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” brings crates full of cosmetic items and a new reporting feature against cheaters. The crates are available in both free and paid versions.

The developers aim to continue making the game fair with this update.

Reporting cheaters will be easier

By the end of 2017, PUBG reached a massive “3 million concurrent players” milestone. At the same time, it became known that 1.5 million cheaters had already been banned from the game. To ensure that cheaters continue to be identified and banned, it is important that you report suspicious players.

So brazenly do cheaters promote their hacks in PUBG

The PUBG team is making reporting easier for you. On the test server, you can now report cheaters directly using the replay feature. This means that a potential cheater no longer has to kill you for you to have video evidence and report the player in-game. The replay system now makes this task easier.

New loot boxes and keys for PUBG

Two new loot boxes are also making their way to PUBG – one can be opened for free, while for the other you need to purchase an early-bird key. All boxes that require a key to open need the early-bird key. You can then buy the key similarly to keys for CS:GO on the Steam market.

Players on the test servers receive 100,000 BP and six early-bird keys to test the boxes. This increases the pool of loot boxes from two to four. However, the contents of the new boxes are also purely cosmetic. The developers emphasized again that this does not create any gameplay advantage.

One of the four available boxes can be obtained on the test servers when you spend BP for it. The chance of receiving one of the two new boxes has been significantly increased for testing purposes.

The chance for the new Desperado box (which requires a paid key) is 40%
The chance for the new Biker box (which you can open for free) is 40%
Chances for the old Wanderer and Survivor boxes are each 10%

Here we have more information on the drop rates of the individual items in the boxes: These ultra-rare items in PUBG have a 0.01% drop chance

The BP currency, new items, and keys will not be transferred to your live accounts.

This update is also intended to improve the performance of PUBG. For example, the visibility while parachuting has been reduced and some bugs have been addressed.

The complete patch notes for the new test server update can be found on the PUBG Steam community page. Once the tests are successfully completed, the update will be transferred to the live servers. Here are the PUBG patch notes on Steamcommunity.com

Crash-free and competitive gameplay is in store for PUBG in 2018

The fastest Paladin from WoW has 3427% movement speed!

Cortyn 9. January 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

You can’t get faster legally than this. A Paladin breaks all records in WoW and zooms through the world.

Paladins are not exactly known for their speed in World of Warcraft – and that has been the case since Classic. They played slowly and were also not known for their quick decisions.

This past apparently sparked an ambitious goal in one player.

The player Doggiebone has set out to become the fastest Paladin in Azeroth and has mastered this task with flying colors. Where other players are already happy with 30% or 40% additional movement speed on their character sheet, for Doggiebone, that was just the beginning, as he breaks into the four-digit range.

The Paladin reaches an impressive 3427% movement speed! This allows him to move so quickly that normal control is virtually impossible. Just tapping a movement key lightly causes the character to run into any wall. Normal movement is practically impossible.

Turbospeed only possible in Arcway

The result was made possible by a clever combination of many items, including:

Sephuz’s Secret, the legendary ring that increases speed
Aggramar’s Stride, which increases speed based on a secondary stat
A Chronoshard, which increases speed through procs
Strang of Stars, which grants even more speed when combined with the Chronoshard

But the location also had to be perfect. To achieve the maximum bonus, Doggiebone and his group went to Suramar, into the instance Arcway. In the fight against Corstilax, players can pick up strong buffs through the speed zones that further increase their movement speed.

Is this useful? Probably not. Is this the fastest Paladin that can be played legally without a speed hack? Definitely!

What do you think of this turbo Paladin?

Paladins have achieved many strange successes in recent days. One defeated the Worldbreaker of the Garothi solo – over more than 8 hours!

5 Gaming Trends for 2018: The Year of the Shitstorm

Schuhmann 9. January 2018 Reading time 8 minutes

How will online gaming develop in 2018? What are the trends? Our author Schuhmann makes 5 predictions. He sees 2018 as the year of the shitstorm looming.

Predictions are difficult, especially when they concern the future. We have 5 gaming trends in 2018 for you, of which we are quite sure will come true.

Few big games – only gigantic or small

This is a strange trend that has been observed for years and will continue in 2018. While more and more indie games are being released on Steam, the supply in the “medium and large titles” category is drying up: Established studios can only be huge and mega.

The best example of this is RockStar Games. They used to release one or two games every year – since they launched the mega-seller GTA V, no new game has come out – and that was since 2013.

No experiments!

If you will, Grand Theft Auto V has killed 4 or 5 “good, big games,” because there was no space left next to the giant GTA V. Publishers are putting all their eggs in one basket and are reluctant to spread them out across several.

Even EA, Activision, and Ubisoft are experimenting less than before: They prefer to fatten the big franchises rather than try something new.

Especially in online gaming, this is clearly visible: When a studio attempts a game, they immediately reach for the top category with hundreds of employees, developing in 6 countries on 3 continents, getting support from external studios, and bringing the thing to all possible platforms. Anything less is no longer acceptable.

This will be a curse for game series that are not giant successes but only sell a few million copies. When EA realized, “Mass Effect Andromeda is not a blockbuster,” they canceled it and allocated the resources to the two mega-projects Star Wars Battlefront and Anthem.

So either there are giganto-mega-games or indie studios programming something for the PC with limited means. But these “big and medium-sized games” will be rare in 2018 – for the big publishers, only gigantic counts.

Ironically, 2017 was a “medium-sized game,” PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds from Korea, that was a mega-hit – but that is hard to plan.

Studios believe: More is more

If you look at the financial report from Activision Blizzard, one insight has long been acknowledged by the bosses of the companies: More is more.

Blizzard-Franchise — Activision Blizzard and its 8 billion franchises.

They say: “Our big franchises compete against the big franchises of our competitors.” And here’s the money to be made: Our mega-title should crush their mega-title.

The giant franchises are becoming increasingly important for companies, as a growing percentage of revenues depend on these mega-titles.

As long as studios think this way, the flagships, the mega-titles, will only get bigger.

One hears from all corners: “The game is now the biggest one we’ve ever worked on.” From Poland, it is said that Cyberpunk 2077 will be even bigger and more expensive than The Witcher 3.

At some point, this trend of gigantomania might hit limits, but certainly not in 2018.
