Weißt Du noch, wie in The Division alles begann?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, Massive asks if you still remember how it all began.

Last Friday, on 24th November, was Black Friday. This is commonly regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, where retailers heavily discount their goods, and countless people flock to stores and online shops to hunt for bargains.

For The Division, Black Friday is an important, a crucial day. Because according to the story, the virus pandemic that plunged humanity into chaos began with Black Friday.

Via Twitter, Massive asks if you remember that Black Friday in The Division was the starting point of the disaster. They embedded a video that was first shown over four years ago at E3 2013. Many of you may have never seen it or have long forgotten it. Enjoy:

What is the video about?

This video illustrates the complex and fragile world we live in. We rely on an enormous number of interconnected systems every day. We have created a house of cards: If just one card falls, the whole house collapses – and the catastrophe begins.

The fuel for this worldwide system is money, which is why the virus was circulated through banknotes to bring about the apocalypse. And since, according to the video, 200 million people storm the stores and exchange money on Black Friday, this day was used as the origin.

The video points out that a flu virus can survive on a banknote for up to 17 days. It then spreads to human skin, from there to other banknotes, to food, to toys, to children, and family members. By the time the first patient shows even slight symptoms, millions of people are already infected.

Division-Freunde-Feinde

With a deadly, modified virus, things escalate quickly. On the first day, hospital capacities are exceeded, and panic spreads. Quarantine zones are established, transport routes are closed, and systems collapse. By day 5, everyone will do anything to survive – thus everyone becomes a potential threat.

When the video was released years ago, it sparked a lot of discussion. It did not showcase wild science fiction ideas, but instead painted a dark future scenario that could occur “in reality”. In the following years, it became known that Massive worked with experts to create the most realistic scenario of what New York would look like in this post-apocalypse.

The video achieved one thing above all: it whetted the appetites of massive gaming fans and built the first high expectations for The Division.

Black Friday as a Missed Opportunity

The community is disappointed that Massive didn’t hold anything for Black Friday this year. After all, this day holds great significance for the game. One would have at least wished for a short event, or a mini-story mission, or a cutscene.

They even let the chance slip by to offer discounts on the in-game vendor offers.

A short Black Friday event would have been a welcome change during the wait for Update 1.8. Instead, currently, there is merely a double reward event, where there are two operation performance containers.

By the way: In 2013, not only was the upper Division trailer released, but also this trailer for the first gameplay reveal. The story begins three weeks after Black Friday – and compared to the finished game, there were still quite a few differences:

Destiny 2: Bungie breaks the silence, wants to address all the criticism!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, Bungie’s game director speaks out personally and promises answers to community feedback.

In recent days and weeks, Bungie has faced some criticism from the community: the boring endgame remains a constant topic, and now there have been an XP disaster and even fraud allegations. Additionally, Guardians are simply disappointed that Bungie is being silent on all the issues, despite having two livestreams in the last two weeks where they could have at least addressed them.

destiny-hüter-osiris

Just a few hours ago, Bungie broke its silence in the form of game director Luke Smith: Answers are finally coming next week.

Bungie’s heads answer the questions

Luke Smith tweeted that the Destiny 2 team will talk about the details regarding how the mechanics will change with the December update next week.

This includes

  • Economy updates: This discusses how vendors, the token system, legendary shards, and the way to obtain vendor gear will change
  • Investment updates: This covers new reward systems on how to earn weapons and armor pieces
  • Gameplay updates
  • and more.
https://twitter.com/thislukesmith/status/934489194432303104

Additionally, he will answer some questions together with Mark Noseworthy, the project lead from Bungie, and address the community feedback that has been gathered since the launch of Destiny 2.

destiny-2-hüter-vier

Smith and Noseworthy are the minds behind Destiny 2. They usually only appear when there are major, important announcements about the MMO shooter. During the Destiny 2 reveal in spring 2017, they were always present, but since the launch of Destiny 2, they have stepped back.

On Reddit, people are now looking to the future more positively. If significant and meaningful endgame improvements actually come in December, this could reignite the hype train, some say. After all, it means something when Bungie sends not just any developers, but the heads behind Destiny 2 themselves.

By the way: It is not stated exactly when Smith and Noseworthy will appear “next week.” Most likely, one can expect this on November 29. Then the final livestream regarding Curse of Osiris will take place. We will report on this.

WoW: Anduin’s Lies – Is He Serving the Old Gods?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

A new theory casts a dark shadow over King Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft. Is he unwittingly serving the Old Gods?

When the next expansion for World of Warcraft was announced at BlizzCon 2017, the surprise was great. Instead of an addon primarily dealing with the Old Gods, Battle for Azeroth focuses on the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. However, this leaves several questions unanswered. A user on Reddit, Vorsa, has now worked out a theory that would answer many unresolved questions and explain the course of WoW in the time after the coming war.

Once again, the whispers of the boss Il’gynoth from the Emerald Nightmare serve as the starting point for these theories – and they are slowly beginning to make sense!

“The diamond king once was, now made a peasant.”

Most players are now clear that only Magni can be meant by the diamond king. But when exactly he commits betrayal is still uncertain – however, it could be the case in Battle for Azeroth!

WoW Legion Magni
King Magni wants something from the players – are the Old Gods stirring in Azeroth again?

There, he gives the players the “Heart of Azeroth” and demands that the heroes collect Azerite – the blood of Azeroth itself. It is oozing from the world after Sargeras’ sword has wounded it. At least that is what Magni tells us.

“Your heart, a crater. We filled it.”

This saying implies that the Old Gods have corrupted Azeroth. And when you “fill a heart,” you do so with a substance that acts as blood. Azerite.

It is therefore very likely that the Azerite is not the lifeblood of Azeroth, but some essence corrupted by the Old Gods.

This would be comparable to Saronite, the blood of Yogg-Saron, which could be collected in Northrend. This “ore” also had particularly corrupting properties. So what if Azerite is a mix of the blood of Old Gods and the original blood of Azeroth?

Then we would be collecting the corrupted blood for Magni, which he will one day use for the Old Gods. Because Magni has long ceased to hear the voice of Azeroth – only that of the Old Gods.

Anduin’s Lies – Is he unconsciously serving the Old Gods?

“At the table of the master of the child king serves. Three lies he brings to you.”

The child king is likely referring to Anduin, even though he (by now) is technically no longer a child. However, he is often still referred to condescendingly as “boy” in cinematics and dialogues.

Link to the YouTube content

But what lies could Anduin speak that serve the “master,” meaning N’Zoth? Quite simply: three lies that reignite the war between Horde and Alliance:

1. The Horde betrayed us at the Broken Isles
2. The Horde set Teldrassil ablaze
3. The Horde did [something else evil over the course of Battle for Azeroth]

The Old Gods benefit when Azeroth sinks into chaos and there are many dead. This is confirmed, for example, by the weapon of the Shadow Priest Xal’atath, which revels in deaths and devours entire souls to become more powerful.

WoW Anduin Wrynn Cinematic

This would also mean that Sylvanas is not responsible for the burning of Teldrassil. Strictly speaking, the developers never explicitly said at BlizzCon that it was the Horde – only that the burning of Teldrassil was the trigger for the war.

The World Trees as Torches

“Five keys to open our path. Five torches to light our way.”
“His visage of flaming splendor only masks the shadows of the deep.”

It gets interesting here. For a long time, players thought that the five keys referred to the five Pillars of Creation. But what if something entirely different is meant? And what could a “great torch that lights the way” be? Maybe … a burning World Tree called Teldrassil?

A closer look reveals that there are currently five World Trees in Azeroth, which would make excellent torches.

  • Nordrassil (Hyjal)
  • Teldrassil (Darnassus)
  • Vordrassil (Grizzly Hills)
  • Shala’drassil (Val’Sharah)
  • Un’Goro Crater (Exists only in the Emerald Nightmare)
WoW Battle for Azeroth Burning Teldrassil Artwork

Whether it only stops at the burning of Teldrassil or if more World Trees will burn, remains to be seen. But it’s also exciting that Ragnaros wanted to burn Hyjal during “Cataclysm” as well, on behalf of Deathwing, who in turn served the Old Gods. Slowly but surely, the puzzle is coming together.

“The earth springs from its power. Our earth. Our power.”

WoW Azerite Crystal

What exactly corresponds to the ground in Battle for Azeroth and suddenly is a very strong source of power? Exactly – Azerite. The stuff we collect for Magni because “Azeroth instructed him to do so.” Yeah, right.

In summary, this theory assumes that Magni is commissioning the players to collect Azerite for the Old Gods to do something sinister with it. Meanwhile, Anduin is being unconsciously manipulated by the Old Gods and leads the Horde and Alliance into war.

What do you think of these theories? Did Blizzard really plan that far into the future? Or is this theory too illogical to be true?

Players of Destiny 2 accuse Bungie of cheating as they bought free candy

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the XP disaster is taking on larger forms. Bungie is now accused of fraud due to a promotional campaign.

We reported on this in August: Bungie and Activision entered into a partnership with “Rockstar Energy Drinks” and “Pop-Tarts” (Kelloggs) for Destiny 2 to promote their MMO shooter.

This promotional campaign involved Rockstar and Kelloggs launching products in Destiny 2 design, and customers received certain in-game benefits like engrams and XP boosts with their purchases.

destiny-2-pop-tarts

The Pop-Tarts promotional campaign, which only ran in the USA, is now causing a lot of discussion. Those who bought this sweet pastry received a code for an XP boost in Destiny 2. However, it has now been revealed – and Bungie recently admitted – that the XP system does not function as intended.

What is it actually about?

For every redeemed Pop-Tarts code, players received (and can still receive, as the campaign runs until early 2018) a boost of +25% on experience points gains. It is explicitly advertised that this code can be used for quick leveling up.

However, it has become known in recent days and weeks that XP in Destiny 2 does not work as the game suggests. For example, when quickly farming public events, a high XP gain appears on the screen each time, but the actual XP gain is significantly lower. Players are reportedly receiving up to 90% less experience points than indicated.

destiny-2-glimmer-hüter

This XP mechanic has been well hidden for a long time – after all, one assumes that +5000 XP is received when +5000 XP is shown, and not just a fraction of that. Only detailed tests by community members uncovered this deception.

Bungie has now admitted that such a system indeed exists to regulate XP gains. In long-term activities like PvP matches and raids, the XP gains would increase, while in quick activities that can be repeated rapidly, such as public events, they would decrease.

They analyzed the data and are “not happy” with the results, which is why Bungie has now decided to deactivate the system with immediate effect. From now on, the correct XP gain numbers should be displayed on the screen.

“I pay for something I do not receive”

A Guardian is now complaining on Reddit – where he is receiving much support – that this admission from Bungie is proof that the community was deceived with the Pop-Tarts promotional campaign.

Before the release of Destiny 2, he eagerly bought the sweets to receive the XP boosts. Although he does not actually like Pop-Tarts, he was willing to spend some money for faster level progression. He bought the snack just to receive the +25% XP.

destiny-2-warlock-hüter

The hidden XP mechanic has been in the game since the launch of Destiny 2, which is why he now complains: “I paid for something I did not receive as advertised.” This is not only unscrupulous, it is also fraud.

He is not concerned about the few dollars he invested in Pop-Tarts. He does not even want to request a refund. Instead, he wants to make it clear how bitterly disappointed he is that Bungie is lying to the players like this.

pop-tarts

Many users in the comments agree with him and emphasize that it is not about the money, but about the fraud and dishonesty.

However, other users point out that one “actually” never paid for the XP boost. Therefore, it cannot be called fraud. The promotional campaign always advertised that the XP boost comes free with the pack of Pop-Tarts.

Whether the responsible parties will comment on this remains to be seen.

What is your opinion on this?

By the way: According to some users, the displayed experience point gain is still not 100% accurate.

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Find collectibles – All locations in overview

Guddy Hoffmann-Schoenborn Guddy Hoffmann-Schoenborn Reading time 6 minutes

In the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2, you can find some collectibles – and they give you crafting parts as a bonus! How many collectibles there are per mission and where to find them, you can learn here.

In total, 23 collectibles are hidden on and off the paths. Since the corresponding boxes in which they can be found are opened by Iden Versio’s droids, you will only find them in the missions where you actually play the commander of the Inferno Squad.

Overall, by diligent collecting, you can obtain 175 crafting parts as a reward. So it’s worth keeping an eye out for them!

Battlefront-Boese

The campaign missions and the number of collectibles

Here are the collectibles:

  • 1. Mission – The Cleansing: 3 collectibles
  • 2. Mission – The Battle of Endor: 5 collectibles
  • 3. Mission – The Dauntless: 2 collectibles
  • 5. Mission – The Storm: 4 collectibles
  • 9. Mission – Under Covered Sky: 4 collectibles
  • 11. Mission – The Battle of Jakku: 3 collectibles
  • 12. Mission – Until the Ashes: 2 collectibles

Once you have found all the objects of the respective missions, you can go to the main menu and exchange them under the “Career” section to claim the crafting parts.

Where are the collectibles? Locations in the image guide

3 collectibles in the first mission: “The Cleansing”

first collectible Star Wars Battlefront 2

Right at the beginning, after you have shocked one of the enemies, turn to the right in the form of the droid.

Battlefront 2 collectibles 2

If you have made it through the ventilation shafts in the form of the droid and fly into the larger area, immediately keep to the right and fly into the middle level.

Battlefront 2 collectibles Iden

The third and last collectible of this mission can be found when you as Iden Versio encounter the group of enemies you are supposed to take out stealthily. Instead of going straight ahead, turn directly to the left and into the first corridor also to the left side.

5 collectibles in the second mission: “The Battle of Endor”

Battlefront 2 collectibles AT-AT

Right at the beginning of this mission, keep to the right and walk to the fallen AT-AT. Underneath its belly is the collectible.

Battlefront 2 collectibles Bunker

If you continue along the path, you will pass by a bunker on the right side. Inside there is the fifth collectible.

Battlefront 2 collectibles second bunker

As you get closer to your destination and reach the Stormtroopers, immediately keep left to the forest path to the next, more hidden bunker.

Battlefront 2 collectibles stairs

Later on, when you reach the building with many stairs, walk around to the back side where you will find the next chest.

Battlefront 2 collectibles X-Wing

The last collectible of this mission can be found just before you get into the TIE Fighter. To do this, go to the crashed X-Wing.

2 collectibles in the third mission: “The Dauntless”

Battlefront 2 collectibles look up

The first thing you should do after stepping out of your fighter and killing the first enemies is not to go through the door to the left, but to keep right. If you look up in the room, you will see the next collectible. Don’t worry, you won’t have to find a way up: The droid flies high enough on its own.

Battlefront 2 collectibles floor

Don’t forget to search the lower floor in the next large room with the three different mini-missions, where you will find another collectible.

4 collectibles in the fifth mission: “The Storm”

Battlefront 2 collectibles statue

When you see the red statue in front of you at the beginning of the fifth mission, do not go straight to it, but keep to the right. Behind the fence, you will find another box.

Battlefront 2 collectibles fifth mission

When you then reach the point where larger enemy squads encounter you, go left down the street.

Battlefront 2 collectibles corner

The next one is really just around the corner and to the left.

Battlefront 2 collectibles sniper

Just before you finally get into the AT-AT, search the upper areas of the area. There, where the snipers were located, you will find the last collectible of this mission.

4 collectibles in the ninth mission: “Under Covered Sky”

Battlefront 2 collectibles stairs

As soon as you exit the aircraft, do not go directly down one of the two staircases, but pass by them.

Battlefront 2 collectibles outside

If you take the elevators down, go outside and keep to the left.

Battlefront 2 collectibles corners

From there, it’s just a hop to the next collectible. Turn around, walk straight ahead, and left through the corridor. As soon as you are in the adjacent room, turn right towards the collectible.

Battlefront 2 collectibles Tie Fighter2

Exit the room one door further and walk to the TIE Fighters. The right one, which has no wings, is your target, as the last collectible of this mission is located there.

3 collectibles in the eleventh mission: “The Battle of Jakku”

Battlefront 2 collectibles container

When you exit the aircraft, take a good look in the containers. In one on the left side is one of the sought-after boxes.

Battlefront 2 collectibles wreck

Furthermore, you will find two collectibles in the segment with the crash-landed destroyer. When you exit the fighter there, you will see a TIE Fighter half-buried in the sand on the right side. Walk past it to the tubular ship parts. Go inside and find the collectible.

Battlefront 2 collectibles fire

After placing the detonators, you will enter the destroyer with many burning TIE Fighters. One is high on a platform. There sticks the last collectible of this mission.

2 collectibles in the twelfth mission: “Until the Ashes”

Battlefront 2 collectibles ash

Here you just need to walk to the destination. But instead of turning left, just keep going into the dead end where you find the box.

Battlefront 2 collectibles last box

The last collectible can be found right on the path. Just make sure not to walk past it. It lies on the right side of the road.

Of course, we have also completed the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2. Read Guddys opinion on it here!

How to play Lineage 2 Revolution on PC or Mac? Here’s how!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Lineage 2 Revolution (iOS and Android) is a mobile MMO designed for smartphones. But what if you don’t have a compatible device or prefer gaming on a larger computer? Then get a free Android emulator like Bluestacks or Nox and play it on PC or Mac.

Lineage 2 Revolution (L2R) is a fun online RPG designed for smartphones with Android or iOS. You play L2R on the mobile touchscreen and the comparatively small display.

Lineage-2-Revolution-10

This bothers some players who would prefer to play the game on a PC screen with a mouse and keyboard. Others do not have a suitable mobile device that would run L2R well – but have a powerful gaming PC!

But fortunately, there are free Android emulators!

With these Android emulators, L2R runs on your PC or Mac

With an Android emulator like Bluestacks or Nox, you can easily simulate an Android smartphone on your PC or Mac. Simply install the appropriate software and link it to your Google Play account. Everything works quite simply and self-explanatory.

https://youtu.be/qNd0yeksuFg

After that, you can install and configure most of the Android apps on your computer. This way, for example, you can set up the screen layout so that certain touch inputs are replaced by freely programmable keyboard and mouse buttons.

This allows for a completely different gaming experience! Because with the mouse and numerous hotkeys, Lineage 2 Revolution plays much smoother than on the mobile screen via touchscreen.

Start on PC and then continue grinding on your smartphone later

The best part is that you use the same account as on your phone. This way, you can comfortably play on the PC and complete the tricky missions.

With the UI and all the systems, I am now also getting along much better after the initial difficulties. Everything is well explained throughout the game.

When you need to leave later, log out on the PC, start L2R on the smartphone, and seamlessly continue where you left off on the PC.

Wait! Are Android emulators like Bluestacks even legal?

Don’t worry, Android emulators like Bluestacks are completely legal. You can use them without hesitation and don’t have to fear that Google will close your account. Furthermore, the software is supported by reputable manufacturers like Samsung, Intel, or AMD.

This is how to get top graphics on your PC

Lineage-2-Revolution-Bluestacks-Einstellungen

Lineage 2 Revolution looks great in maximum graphics. But only the best smartphones can handle this. However, a decent gaming PC should have no problems with it. Still, you may need to first adjust your settings to allow your machines to utilize the full resources of your PC or Mac.

Go to the options menu of your emulator. In Bluestacks, this is a small arrow in the top right corner of the window. In the settings menu, go to the “Engine” tab and set 4 CPU cores and 2,500 megabytes or more of RAM. This should provide your PC with the necessary power for L2R to look great.

If you can only select one core in the menu but actually have more, you first need to “enable virtualization (VT) in your PC’s BIOS”. You can find out how to do this at the link here!

And what about iOS? Here’s how to get the Apple version running on Bluestacks

Lineage-2-Revolution-02

Emulators like Nox or Bluestacks are primarily designed for Android, but with a simple trick, it also works for Apple’s iOS users. To make this work, you first need to link your L2R game account with Facebook.

Then log in to Bluestacks with your Facebook account and start playing. According to Reddit users, this method should work with both Nox and Bluestacks.

You can download Bluestacks for free here
You can download Nox for free here

FIFA 18: Cyber Monday is running – Packs and “Cyber Sale” SBCs in Ultimate Team

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

The Cyber Monday is approaching in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team. What pack offers and “Cyber Sale” SBCs can you expect?

The “Cyber Monday” will take place in FUT 18 next Monday. This is considered the little brother of Black Friday and is also a “bargain day.”

The Black Friday event in Ultimate Team mode ended on November 25 at 3 PM. If you missed it, you will get another chance on November 27 to take advantage of special pack offers. On this day, the Cyber Monday starts.

Black Friday is over, now the Cyber Monday is coming
Many players are boycotting the Black Friday offers!

Cyber Monday in FUT 18 – All information about the start and the offers

When does the “Cyber Monday” event run?

  • It starts on November 27 at 3 PM.
  • The Cyber Monday will end on November 28 at 9 AM.

What can I expect on Cyber Monday?

  • A new pack offer will be available in the store every hour. This runs from Monday 3 PM until Tuesday 9 AM.
  • There will be “special” pack offers that are very rare.
  • Flash SBCs will be available. These are squad-building challenges that you only have a short time to complete (usually 1-2 hours). In these challenges, you can create a team from your cards and exchange it for rewards.
  • There are special weekly objectives that have been running since Friday at 7 PM.
  • For a weekly objective, you will receive an exclusive Black Friday jersey.
  • There will be no free packs.

Update 3 PM: Premium Gold Player Packs (25,000 coins) and Prime Gold Player Packs (45,000 coins) are now available in the store. Additionally, some Cyber Sale SBCs are live.

fifa-icon

Last year, the special Flash SBCs were called “Cyber Sale” SBCs. With these, you could earn Mega Packs among other things. What you can win with SBCs this time will be revealed after the start.

Transfer Market and Market Crash before Black Friday and Cyber Monday

In order for players to purchase the Black Friday offers, they need coins. Therefore, they sold their cards before Black Friday, leading to many cards on the transfer market and thus a price drop.

In recent years, prices were lowest on the Thursday before Black Friday, after which they increased again.

On Cyber Monday, prices will also drop slightly, but not as much as on Black Friday. Most players who were looking for bargains will likely have spent their coins by Friday.

After Cyber Monday, prices on the transfer market should stabilize again. However, precise forecasts cannot be made as the transfer market is subject to numerous influencing factors.

So wollen Project TL und Lost Ark das PC-MMORPG retten

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

Fans of PC MMORPGs are eagerly looking towards Asia. With Lost Ark and Project TL, the next generation of MMORPGs is on the horizon. They could bring new impulses to the MMORPG genre from the action RPG perspective. But when will the games be released, and will they even come to Europe and North America?

The MMORPG genre has been in a sort of hibernation for years. The hopes of PC MMORPGs in the West have all perished: Blizzard has buried Titan, Daybreak pulled the plug on Everquest Next.

Cat boredom

This leaves genre fans with few alternatives:

  • Either you play the existing, decent western MMORPGs, all of which are a bit dated
  • or you play Asian imports from the second tier, which do not quite rock the boat. Furthermore, they are not tailored to our barbaric western tastes.
  • or you fall in love with an indie project and follow its development in the hope that something great comes out of it before you get too old to move a mouse
Online RPGs 2017: Boredom? 5 Recipes for MMORPG Fans

For many, “Lost Ark” is an exception. It is an action MMORPG from Korea that has been attracting the eager gazes of MMORPG fans worldwide for years. When you look at it, you quickly see: This is something special. This is interesting.

Lost Ark – the great hope from the East

In principle, Lost Ark is a typical MMORPG, but with a fixed perspective and gameplay elements from action RPGs like Diablo 3. This promise: “to mix MMORPG with action RPG” has been around for a while.

Lost Ark is meant to be the first game to really achieve this: A full-fledged MMORPG with action RPG gameplay.

The promise of Lost Ark is: A game with the depth of an MMORPG and dynamic gameplay like modern action titles.

We simplifiers from the gaming press like to say: “This is a Diablo MMORPG!” However, at Lost Ark, they scoff at that and say: “We actually have more in common with Guild Wars 2.”

Lost Ark has been in development for quite a while. The second beta was in 2017 and it all looks pretty neat. We reported extensively about it.

Gameplay videos of the 10 classes of Lost Ark – Cooler than Diablo 3?

The big catch: Lost Ark comes from Smilegate. And Smilegate is not a developer that does much in the West. So nobody knows whether Lost Ark will really come to Europe and North America. There have been signs so far indicating that Lost Ark will first conquer China after its home market Korea.

But Lost Ark still lacks a release date. Some criticize: You’re piling system upon system. You’re suffering from feature creep.

In 2018, we should hear more about Lost Ark, but for now the title remains a distant dream.

Project TL – the new ray of hope

Now newly risen as a star of hope for MMORPG fans is Project TL. This is the response of the Korean giant NCSoft to Lost Ark.

NCSoft has long tried to find a successor for the Lineage series, had a PC/mobile hybrid in development called “Lineage Eternal” that never worked. That thing is now dead and resurrected as “Project TL”.

Project TL promises us finally the destructible environment. MMORPG fans have been hot for it since Everquest Next tantalized us with it, but then rather passed away.

project-tl-06

Project TL promises the same vision as Lost Ark:

  • Unreal Engine 4 – so great graphics
  • Destructible environment
  • Dynamic weather
  • And action gameplay
  • 5 classes are currently confirmed

Is Project TL even coming as a new MMORPG for PS4 and Xbox One?

A bonus: Apparently, NCSoft plans to let us play the game with controllers – a hint that they might envision a port for PS4 and perhaps even for Xbox One. But that is music for the future.

  • The best part: NCSoft is a worldwide publisher with studios and connections here in the West. So the game should definitely also come to us in Europe and the USA. A worldwide release was also planned for Lineage Eternal.
  • The other best part: NCSoft has currently made a lot of money in the mobile market. If one can hope for something “big” from the MMORPG market right now, then it is from NCSoft.
  • The downside: Project TL will also take a while to materialize. A closed beta is planned for 2018.

The question of whether Project TL and Lost Ark can bring new impulses to the ailing PC MMORPG market and lead it into the next generation is a question for the coming years. Hope and longing are there and quite justified.

Wird der Merkur in Destiny 2 nur ein langweiliger Donut?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, the gaming press ruthlessly judges the first expansion “Curse of Osiris”.

A few weeks ago, selected YouTubers and press representatives were able to play “Curse of Osiris” in Seattle, record gameplay footage, and form an early opinion on the first Destiny 2 DLC. However, the information and recordings from this play event are under embargo – meaning they cannot be published until Bungie allows it.

Recently, the embargo for the Mercury patrol zone was lifted. New information about the “Mercury open world”, the largest public event, and some other features has come to light.

Not only YouTubers, but also large English-speaking gaming sites like IGN, PC Gamer, and GameSpot published their impressions, expressing doubts and criticism about “Curse of Osiris” across the board.

destiny-2-merkur-arena

GameSpot finds particularly clear words. They headline that Mercury is currently disappointing. The patrol zone is “not terribly interesting to explore” and the new strikes are “uninspired”.

Expectation looks different

There is skepticism about Mercury. The “open world” of this planet is quite small and circular – an “unimpressive donut map”. You can’t even pull out the Sparrow, it’s that small.

However, there are plenty of “high-ranking targets” to hunt. More than in any other location in Destiny 2, writes GameSpot.

destiny-2-merkur-arnea-hüter

Still, Mercury offers too little substance to bring players back to Destiny 2. Mercury is simply too small and too monotonous in the long run. A boring, donut-shaped place that exists just to get from the Lighthouse to the Infinite Forest.

Regarding the two new strikes, GameSpot writes that these are reworkings of two story missions from Curse of Osiris. The strikes may have interesting bosses, but there is not much variety in level design between the story and strike versions.

Overall, the strikes are “uninspired”.

The coolest aspect of the expansion is the Infinite Forest, a place in the middle of Mercury where the Vex can simulate infinite realities. This concept is promising and could offer a good addition to the endgame of Destiny 2.

In the Infinite Forest, you travel through time and fight in newly arranged arenas against different opponents each time. It is said to have high replayability. Curse of Osiris therefore brings even more content than just a boring “donut”.

Nevertheless: Most of the community agrees that Destiny 2 needs fundamental changes to the endgame mechanics before new content really makes sense. As long as Bungie does not adjust these, the mood among the guardians will not improve.

Ist das wirklich ein Mobile-Game? – Black Desert Mobile protzt mit Grafik!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Black Desert Online is getting a mobile spin-off called Black Desert Mobile. The smartphone version is hardly inferior to the original and looks so good that you could hardly believe it’s a mobile game!

Even in times when pretty mobile MMOs like Lineage 2 Revolution boast Unreal 4 graphics, many players still think of “mobile game” as a pixelated mush. But those players have never heard of Black Desert Mobile.

Black-Desert-Mobile-Action-Screenshot-01

The mobile version of the graphic powerhouse Black Desert Online is hardly inferior to the original and is simply stunning!

Stunning graphics on the smartphone

By now, detailed trailers for Black Desert Online and the first characters have emerged. If you didn’t know better, you might think these videos are from a new PC game. The graphics are similarly detailed and colorful as in Black Desert on the computer.

In addition, there are fluid animations, light and weather effects, and combat effects. However, the perspective is different from the PC. On the smartphone, the viewpoint is further away and the game is controlled more from an isometric perspective. Despite the high-quality graphics, Black Desert Mobile is supposed to even run on older smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S 5.

Sandbox MMO gameplay on the mobile

Black Desert Mobile shares more with its big brother Black Desert Online besides the graphics. Many elements of the sandbox MMORPG have made their way into the mobile version. These include:

  • Live skills such as vegetable farming, mining, tree chopping, and fishing
  • Taming and breeding horses; the mobile version even has a rodeo mini-game!
  • Pets
  • Awakening skills
  • PvP sieges
  • Auction house with auto-bid feature

Destiny 2: Bungie admits problems with the XP – And fixes the system

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

Bungie has addressed the criticized experience gains in Destiny 2 in a news article. Apparently, they conducted their own tests and were just as dissatisfied with the results as the community – and are responding promptly!

The trigger for the internal tests by Bungie were loud discussions on Reddit, that something was off with the experience gains. The protest peaked with the Fanfarenruf event, which was supposed to grant double experience gains. However, farming too quickly from public events and other activities was heavily penalized: Players reported losses of up to 90% in experience point gains.

The more public events completed in a short time, the fewer experience points were awarded. It was actually assumed that Bungie would remain inactive during these days – after all, Thanksgiving is in the USA, and employees are with their families.

immerforst-destiny

The loud protest on Reddit likely resulted in Bungie responding faster and conducting their own tests.

The 10 balance changes we wish for with the Curse of Osiris!

Bungie is unhappy with the test results

The test results show that the system does not function as desired:

Previously, players received more experience points when they played longer activities, such as a PvP match or a raid. Players received fewer experience points for activities that could be quickly repeated in a short time – like the public events, which were also part of the tests on Reddit.

destiny-2-dark-future

Bungie is not happy with the results and admits that the community is also critical of this system.

The system will be disabled until “more data is available”

For this reason, Bungie has completely disabled the system for the time being. This is effective immediately. 

This means that players will see different experience points across all activities, which are supposed to correspond to the truth.

Bungie will closely monitor the shutdown of the “system” in the coming week to ensure that the changes meet Bungie’s expectations – and those of the players.

savathun-destiny-2-strike

Robert says: Bungie is reacting – and at a time when no one really expected it. This is definitely a positive aspect. However, some questions remain. How did this “system” even make it into the game?

The numbers determined on Reddit at least suggest that there is some logic and calculation behind this system.

Whether the system will return – Bungie is not commenting on this, which will likely not please everyone. Many players want a “clear stance” here.

An additional aftertaste is provided by the fact that some players are already complaining on reddit that the experience point gains still do not match 100%. Detailed tests are still pending.

Did Bungie react too late? Are you hoping for a quick return of the Fanfarenruf event?

Neues Game Europa ist wie PUBG nur mit Unterwasserkämpfen

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With Europe, the Chinese publisher and developer Tencent is currently working on a new battle royale shooter that appears to be intended only for China.

Tencent is arguably the most successful gaming company in the world. Revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was around $9.8 billion. A number that even major publishers like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft can only dream of. Tencent operates in Asia and provides a large number of gamers there with new games.

Europe Boat

Recently, it became known that Tencent is taking over the distribution of the battle royale shooter PUBG in China. However, this is not the only battle royale game that the company is launching.

Battle Royale only for China?

Europe is an upcoming online action game that Tencent will offer via Steam – but only in Chinese. Why Steam then? Because Valve’s platform is becoming increasingly popular in Asia. The number of users from China is increasing month by month. Support for other languages is not currently planned.

Europe Diving

100 players, open world, diving

Currently, not much is known about Europe. The shooter takes place on a large island where up to 100 players can fight – even underwater. Diving is also addressed in the screenshots as well as in the gameplay trailer.

Tencent explains that Europe uses the in-house Quicksilver X Engine, which allows for detailed graphics. Survival elements are present, as well as action-packed shooter battles. You will use various vehicles, including boats, to move quickly across the game area.

Tencent aims to establish Europe in the e-sports sector and refers to the game as a “next generation e-sports” title. Alongside PUBG and two upcoming mobile games, Europe is thus the fourth battle royale game that Tencent distributes. More details about the shooter are expected to follow soon.

Jeder darf zweimal ziehen – Temporus ändert die Regeln in Hearthstone

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new Hearthstone card will completely change Priest deck building. Both players can then perform two turns in a row!

In the lead-up to the release of Kobolds and Catacombs, the next Hearthstone expansion, the developers are constantly presenting new cards. Although players thought that there couldn’t be “crazier effects” introduced, the development team has proven otherwise.

Priests seem to be increasingly focusing on dragons in Kobolds and Catacombs. And one dragon truly “takes the cake”: Temporus.

Hearthstone Temporus

Temporus is a 6/6 minion for 7 mana and is also a dragon, which provides powerful synergies for the priest. Its battle cry makes most players’ eyes widen: Your opponent plays two rounds. After that, you play two rounds.

That sounds as crazy as it is: Once Temporus is played, the Priest’s turn ends and the opponent takes their turn – for two full turns. This means they can spend all their mana, end their turn, and repeat that again. Only after that can the playing Priest take their turn and also complete two turns.

Hearthstone Priest

Fans are still not quite sure about the sense and nonsense of the card. It takes a very specific deck for Temporus to work. Allowing an opponent two turns late in the game is likely to lead to defeat.

Perfect Temporus combo deals 112 damage

A possible, devastating “perfect” combination has already been devised by the clever minds:

  • Turn 9: Temporus
  • Survive the opponent’s double turn (easier said than done)
  • Turn 10: Prophet Velen, Illusionist (on Velen)
  • Extra turn: Illusionist (on Velen), Mind Blast (40 damage), Mind Blast (40 damage), Holy Smite (16 damage), Holy Smite (16 damage)
  • Hearthstone

That’s 112 damage “in one go” and with the minions, you could also attack.

Basically, Temporus seems to be a typical “win more” card, only worth playing if the Priest is already well ahead. Anything else borders on suicide.

What do you think of Temporus? A cool card or just theoretical play?

Recently, we reported on the strongest card that Hearthstone has ever received – it was also for the Priest and also a dragon!

Destiny 2: Trials of the Nine – Map and Game Mode on 24.11.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine begin today, on November 24th. What map will be played? Which game mode is featured?

Currently, you can dive into the Iron Banner in November and shoot each other there. If you already have the coveted loot and possess the Iron Banner emblem for Season 1, the PvP fans among you can find variety in the Trials of the Nine starting today.

fortress

This week’s Trials of the Nine will be played on the map The Fortress. The game mode is Countdown. The PvP event starts on November 24th at 6 PM and ends at the next weekly reset – on November 28th at 10 AM.

What are the Trials of the Nine with the Countdown mode?

This time you will fight in the Trials in the “Countdown” mode. It is a round and objective-based PvP mode.

You compete in teams of four, with each round alternating the offensive and defensive roles between the teams:

  • If you are the offensive team, you must plant a bomb at one of two possible locations and defend it until it detonates.
  • If you are the defensive team, you must prevent a bomb from being planted or defuse the bomb in time.

The team that has successfully executed its role wins a round. You can also win a round by completely defeating the opposing team. A limited number of revives by team members is available. The team that first wins 6 rounds wins the match.

After each match, you will receive “Trials of the Nine” tokens, which you can redeem with the vendor for Trials engrams. Additionally, you will receive extra rewards for 3, 5, and 7 match victories. If you manage a flawless run (7 wins without a loss), you can pick up an extra reward. If you accumulate 3 match losses on your ticket, you must start over.

In the Trials of the Nine, there is no matchmaking. You must assemble your team of 4 players yourself. Additionally, it is a “locked-loadout playlist”. This means you cannot change your weapons and armor pieces until you leave the playlist.

You can read all the info about the Trials of the Nine here and in this article, we reveal what the Trials weapons can do.

Der Breitbandausbau stockt – Denn schnelles Internet „wollen nur Nerds!“

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The expansion of fast internet in Germany is stalling – and it’s intentional. Because turbo internet is “only wanted by nerds”.

Although Germany likes to see itself as a pioneer in the use and expansion of new technologies, we are lagging far behind in the expansion of the broadband network. There are still some rural areas where not even a proper DSL connection is offered.

But even in urban areas, the expansion of the broadband network in Germany is rather poor. In many cities, a connection of 100 Mbit/s is already the limit. Those who want to go faster on the internet have to pay a premium – if that option even exists.

Network Cable 2

In comparison, other countries are much further ahead. In South Korea, many cities offer speeds of 1 GBit/s for around €20 per month. In Germany, however, a fraction of that speed (around 50 MBit/s) often costs the same price.

German network operators hesitate – and it’s intentional

This raises the question: Have cable operators in Germany simply missed the new technologies?

Apparently not. The lack of faster internet is pure intention. This was confirmed a few days ago by the CFO of Tele Columbus, Franz Posnanski. In a press talk on November 21 in Berlin, he stated:

“More would already be possible with Docsis 3.0. We could already offer 800 MBit/s. But no one wants it. Data rates of 1 GBit/s would only be taken by the nerds, then it’s game over.”

In about 5 years, that would look different. Currently, however, it is about the providers catering to the customers “market-fit” – meaning they only offer what a large part of the customers actually wants.

Network Cable 3

Meanwhile, Deutsche Telekom is further expanding vectoring, which means that most households can currently only be supplied with “only” 100 MBit/s. If one believes Posnanski’s words, transmission rates of 800 Mbit/s or more would already be possible.

However, they are not completely inactive. At least Unitymedia has already started expanding, although so far only in Bochum. In the coming years, they plan to extend this overhaul to other areas.

What is your view on the topic of broadband network expansion? Does Posnanski have a point and are the current transmission rates completely sufficient? Or would you be one of the “nerds” who would already take advantage of 1 GBit/s?

On Amazon, you can get the PS4 Pro for 284 euros. This is currently the lowest price for the console and allows you to play in new quality.

The PS4 Pro is so far the most powerful PlayStation and therefore offers the opportunity to experience PS4 games in a new quality. A game like Horizon: Zero Dawn shows its full beauty because of this. It is not known how long the stock of PS4 Pros at Amazon will last. So if you are considering the console, you shouldn’t wait too long.

In addition, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for 561 euros at MediaMarkt. The current smartphone flagship has not been cheaper yet. All three color variants are reduced at MediaMarkt. The Galaxy S8 Plus stands out primarily due to an infinity display with a diagonal of 6.2 inches.
