Die neue Karte BlizzardWorld in Overwatch steckt voller Easter Eggs

Benedict Grothaus 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

This week the new map BlizzardWorld goes live on the Overwatch PTR. The theme park is not only a tribute to over 20 years of Blizzard – but also packed with Easter eggs!

Blizzard opens the Easter egg hunt!

BlizzardWorld is an amusement park revolving around all universes of Blizzard – except for Overwatch. And what can’t be missing at Blizzard? Right, amusing references to everything!

There are not only obvious pointers to the games, like the massive siege tank in the middle of the map. Even in the details, the creators hide some winks.

The names of the different attractions already show the creative use of their inspirations. The “Hellscream Roller Coaster” promises pure adrenaline, while the Nydus Worm slide offers a slimy variation. However, it is claimed that the green water in the breeding slime pool water park is still clear every morning…

Ashbringer, Doomhammer and Death Wings

Overwatch BlizzardWorld Snaxxramas inside

A little more love to detail can be found in the snack bar “Snaxxramas”. In the gourmet necropolis, hungry guests can indulge in Protoss waffles with Zerg slime syrup, and wash them down with a drink from a Space Marine cup! Or are you in the mood for something fiery? The Death Wings (my personal favorite) surely burn twice!

And what would an amusement park be without a souvenir shop? In the shops and stands scattered throughout the map, there are plenty of souvenirs:

Doomhammers and Ashbringers made of foam
Backpacks with Horde, Alliance, or Hearthstone logos
Murloc polo shirts
BlizzardWorld beach towels

The new healer Moira is already playable on the PTR!

BlizzardWorld’s dankest memes!

One of the most successful Easter eggs is probably the “Lost and Found Vikings” lost and found office. Not only is the reference to the ancient game built in – but also the meme of the searching John Travolta from the movie Pulp Fiction! Erik, Baleog, and Olaf take on the same poses as Vincent Vega.

These are just the bigger homages. But there are also smaller hints scattered all over the map – sometimes hard to discover:

The ropes that secure the balloons can be cut with a shot, causing the balloons to fly away – or can also be shot down
The voices of Deckard Cain, Uther Lightbringer, and the Acolyte from Starcraft can occasionally be heard
When Torbjörn enters the Diablo area, Deckard Cain warns him that he is not big enough for the attractions
When destroying barrels in the Diablo area, the sound of a Legendary drop from Diablo 3 can randomly be heard
In Heroes Arcade, there are “Azmodunks”, basketball machines, with a reference to the “Azmodunk” skin from Heroes of the Storm
The high scores of some games in the arcade are led by Sombra with 9,999 (HAX!)

BlizzardWorld will be released this week on the Overwatch test realm! Get ready to search for more Easter eggs and share them with the community!

Die zweite Bannwelle trifft Destiny 2 – wieder sind “unschuldige” Hüter betroffen

Tom Rothstein 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Bungie swings the banhammer at Destiny 2 on PC. Several Guardians complain that they were caught unfairly.

Almost two weeks after the official PC launch, the second major ban wave hits the MMO shooter. Those who use unauthorized tools or unfair advantages in Destiny 2 will be penalized – and fall victim to the banhammer.

If several user posts in the Destiny forums are to be believed, the developers have once again been “too generous” with the banhammer. Complaints are once again piling up from players who claim they “did nothing” and yet received a ban.

Shortly after the PC launch, numerous players were locked out of Destiny 2, unaware of any wrongdoing. Bungie emphasized at that time that every ban had been manually reviewed, which was indeed the case. Shortly thereafter, the developers backtracked, admitting that a glitch had led to some players being wrongly banned. Those bans were then lifted.

Did the same mistake happen again?

This week, several users are once again complaining about an unjustified ban, causing many to look suspiciously at Bungie. Is the mistake once again on the developers’ part, or are only unrepentant cheaters venting their frustration against Bungie? Ultimately, such statements cannot be verified – and cheaters rarely admit to cheating.

Some users speculate that the bans could be due to various third-party programs – and not cheating tools. One affected user writes that he is a programmer who has certain software on his PC that he needs for his work. These could be the reason for the ban; he could not think of any other reasons.

Another user writes angrily that he also has various programs on his computer that do not cause problems in any other Blizzard, Steam, or Origin game. That he gets a ban in Destiny 2 for this is sloppy on Bungie’s part. After the first ban wave, nobody would trust them anymore.

In the meantime, Bungie’s community manager Cozmo has spoken out. They have investigated the complaints. The last wave of protective measures was thoroughly reviewed, and in each case, it was identified that cheat tools had been used multiple times.

What is ultimately true about all these complaints can’t be judged from the outside. However, the current situation strongly resembles the one we had two weeks ago. It remains to be seen whether Bungie will comment on this again.

Log in to Hearthstone & grab this legendary card!

Jürgen Horn 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard’s online card game Hearthstone is giving away free legendary cards! If you log in now, you’ll receive a particularly strong card for free!

At BlizzCon 2017, alongside the new WoW expansion Battle for Azeroth and the new Overwatch hero Moira, the next expansion for the card game Hearthstone was announced. However, before “Kobolds and Catacombs” releases, Blizzard is giving you a legendary free card!

Highlights and disappointments of BlizzCon 2017

Marin the Fox as a cool legendary card

If you log in to Hearthstone before the release of the expansion Kobolds and Catacombs in December 2017, you will receive the card “Marin the Fox” for free. You just need to briefly show yourself in the game, and then “the fox” will be in your deck. If you had purchased a (virtual) ticket to BlizzCon 2017, you will even receive Marin the Fox as a golden card!

The card cannot be disenchanted or crafted in any other way. Marin the Fox is a 6/6 minion that costs 8 mana. That’s actually way too expensive. Its Battlecry ability gives the opponent a treasure chest with the stats 0/8. Also unfortunate. But if you break the chest, you will get an extremely strong card that can be game-changing!

Marin-Fantastic-Treasures — Source: Hearthpwn

How to make the best use of the legendary free card!

Combine the fox with a card that instantly takes out opposing minions. The “Crazy Alchemist” would be such a candidate. The Alchemist simply swaps an opponent’s attack with their health and thus takes out the chest – which has an attack value of 0 – instantly.

This way, you can trick your opponent and immediately grab the chest loot! However, the combo usually only works starting from turn 10, as you need a total of 10 mana to play Marin the Fox and then the Crazy Alchemist in one turn.

Here you can find all the currently known information about the new Hearthstone expansion Kobolds and Catacombs and the 48 solo bosses included!

Draconius GO wächst schnell! – Über 100.000 Downloads pro Woche

Patrick Freese 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The Pokémon GO competition has already built a strong base. Now the developers are showing new download figures for Draconius GO.

For the past few weeks, the dragon trainer game by Elyland has been a hot topic particularly in the Pokémon GO community. Draconius GO is the game where you add wild beasts to the bestiary instead of your PokéDex.

The dragon game, however, strikes a chord in the mobile community and has a rapidly growing player base.

Strong community growth in Draconius GO

The development team from Elyland recently spoke with PokémonGOHub about new figures for their game “Draconius GO.” Over 100,000 downloads were added within a week.

Current download numbers from November 6: 439,000 downloads on iOS and Android
Download figures from last Monday, October 30: 330,000 downloads on iOS and Android
Release was nearly three weeks ago, on October 16, 2017

Developers work with the community

The high downloads show that the game is well-received by many gamers. This is probably also due to the developers listening to community requests. Suggestions for changes to spawns and eggs are taken seriously by the developers, who attempt to implement them.

In a recent update, the developers changed the chances of creatures that can hatch from 10km eggs. Weaker standard monsters should no longer come from these eggs, but rather stronger fighters.

Especially the rural players are happy about the alternative to Pokémon GO. In rural areas, there are few PokéStops and gyms. Dragon catchers in Draconius GO can also look forward to many creatures, pillars, and more.

No news on the dispute with Niantic

We have already reported that Niantic has issues with Draconius GO. In the eyes of the Pokémon GO developers, there is a copyright infringement here. It seems they do not intend to let this go.

The Draconius GO team reacted casually to the complaint. They believe they are in the right and, according to their own statements, have not violated any copyright. However, there is no official statement regarding the current state of affairs. We will keep an eye on the dispute for you.

Lineage 3? Neues PC-MMORPG der Lineage-Reihe angekündigt!

Jürgen Horn 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

The planned Korean online role-playing game Lineage Eternal is officially dead! But instead, a new title called “Project TL” is coming to PC. It is expected to include some content from Lineage Eternal.

Lineage Eternal was once the great hope for the Korean software giant NCSoft. The game was highly praised during its long development period (it was first announced in 2011) in numerous previews and announced features. It was supposed to offer epic sieges, cool action-RPG gameplay like Diablo, and a whole stable of heroes that could be changed at any time.

Lineage Eternal was supposed to be released simultaneously for PC and mobile devices as a kind of hybrid MMORPG.

It all sounded good, but the first betas in South Korea were disappointing. The gameplay was apparently too grindy and not innovative enough, even for Koreans. Therefore, NCSoft first changed the management of the project and later even the entire engine!

Then there was a period of silence, and hardly anyone knew what was to become of Lineage Eternal. Now we know!

Lineage Eternal becomes the new game “Project LT”

At a recently held press event, NCSoft revealed not news about Lineage Eternal. Instead, a new game called Project TL (The Lineage) was announced for PC. This is still a working title. According to NCSoft, it is a new game and despite the previously misleading name, it is the next Lineage.

The “new” game clearly builds on the previous work on Lineage Eternal. It uses the Unreal 4 engine and will retain some of Eternal’s features, but will also get rid of many:

The game will continue to be an action MMO with dynamic gameplay.
Destructible and interactable environments remain a feature. You can topple columns and squash monsters with them or tear down walls.
Massive sieges, a feature from Lineage Eternal, will be present in Project TL.
The controversial character system with changeable heroes will be completely removed. Instead, you will have a more traditional hero system and build a character from a previous selection of 5 classes.
There will be dynamic weather effects.
Gamepad support is expected. The game may also be released for consoles.

Video shows first gameplay and similarities to Lineage Eternal

The progress made on Project TL can be seen in the first video teaser for the game. There, you can see, among other things, cutscenes, powerful heroes, sexy sorceresses, and wild battles. Especially cool: horse fights and an epic siege!

https://youtu.be/Ac1Yl3-oLI0

Some of the characters reminiscent of concepts from Lineage Eternal. For example, the elf assassin from the video strongly resembles the assassin from Eternal. And the heavily armored human knight in heavy armor looked quite similar in Eternal. The same goes for the dark sorceress.

A first closed beta of Project TL is slated to begin in 2018.

In the mobile sector, NCSoft is scoring points with the project “Lineage M”, but faces strong competition from the licensed product Lineage 2 Revolution from Netmarble.

Blade & Soul 2 angekündigt – wird ein Mobile-MMORPG!

Andreas Bertits 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Blade & Soul 2 is coming! But not in the way many might have imagined. Because NCSoft announced the sequel as a mobile MMORPG.

Wait a minute, isn’t there already another mobile game in development – Blade & Soul M?

Yes, but this one is supposed to differ from Blade & Soul 2. Both titles are being developed by different teams and, according to NCSoft, offer a different gaming experience. Both games will be playable on mobile devices.

A new team is taking care of Blade & Soul 2

Interestingly, the team that developed Blade & Soul for PC is now working on Blade & Soul M. This means that the official sequel is being produced by a different team. This could also be a good thing, as fresh ideas and new aspects might find their way into the game.

What exactly Blade & Soul 2 will be like and how it will differ from Blade & Soul M is currently unclear. NCSoft has only announced the game with a release date for 2018.

The shown trailer doesn’t actually reveal anything about the game. According to NCSoft, Blade & Soul 2 is already completely finished, so nothing should stand in the way of a release next year. Presumably, tests and optimization work are still pending.

Mobile game instead of PC sequel

It will be quite interesting to see how Blade & Soul 2 will play. Some PC owners and fans of the predecessor are probably disappointed, as it is a mobile game. But as current mobile MMORPGs show, they can also be deep and challenging.

Whether a PC version is in the works is currently unknown.

WoW: The standard backpack is getting larger! But there’s a catch…

Cortyn 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft addresses one of its long-standing complaints. However, not everyone is happy with how the backpack issue is being resolved…

Are you among the players of World of Warcraft who always have full bags, with even the banks bursting at the seams? Then you have probably noticed that the “standard backpack” in World of Warcraft is much smaller than other bags in the game. For example, a Hexweave Bag offers around 30 slots, while the regular backpack only offers 16 slots. The problem: The regular backpack cannot be exchanged.

At the Developer Q&A at BlizzCon, a question was asked that has made it to the developers almost every year:

When will the standard backpack finally be exchangeable?

In the past, the statement was always that this was due to programming issues that are not easy to fix.

Apparently, this has changed in recent weeks, as the developers stated that there will indeed soon be a way to increase the standard backpack.

Larger Backpack – Only with Authenticator

However, there is a catch, and that is the Blizzard Authenticator. The developers want to give players more incentives to use the Authenticator to better protect their game accounts.

The Authenticator is available in both physical and digital forms for smartphones. Once linked to the Battle.net account, you must enter an additional code generated by the Authenticator at each login. This adds another layer of security and makes account theft nearly impossible.

Only those who use the Authenticator will be rewarded with additional inventory slots.

As of now, there is no specific date or exact details on the precise increase of the backpack. We will report on this as soon as this bonus goes live.

Destiny 2: Circus Challenge – How to complete the raid challenge

Tom Rothstein 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

How does the Circus Challenge work in the Destiny 2 raid? Here is the solution for the raid challenge.

On November 7 at 10 AM, the second challenge in the Leviathan raid started. This leads into the Circus Encounter. In this, you have to transport psionic charges through a tunnel and then dunk them in the middle of the room.

The way the challenge works in the Circus was uncovered in no time – it is not particularly difficult. It is important to note that the challenge can be played in both normal mode and prestige mode.

Note: If you haven’t got the basics down for the Circus yet, you can read our Leviathan raid guide. We will only show you below how the challenge works.

Solution for the Raid Challenge in the Circus

You need to meet a requirement for the challenge:

During the entire encounter, you may only touch the same platform (pillar) once.

This means: As soon as one of you jumps on the same pillar a second time, the challenge is lost. If Guardian A jumps on the pillar with the chalice and Guardian A jumps on the same pillar with the chalice again later, the challenge has failed. This will be displayed with the message “Challenge failed” at the bottom left of the screen:

How should I best approach this challenge?

Divide yourselves (as usual) into two teams of three.
Each of the two teams has three roles that each member may assume during the encounter: One Guardian runs in the tunnel, one Guardian positions themselves on the pillars, one Guardian takes care of the spawning council members.

Example:

In the first phase, I run in the tunnel.
In the second phase, I take care of the spawning council members outside. I will never stand on a pillar in this run.
In the third phase, I will stand on all pillars one after another while shooting at the arrows. If a run is open, I jump directly to the next pillar.

This way, you will ensure that you do not step on the pillars twice during the encounter.

Note: To activate the Circus Encounter, you must stand on all four pillars. This does not count as the “first touch”.

Here is a video from Venero TV about it:

Fortnite Battle Royale hat 20 Millionen Spieler, schlägt PUBG!

Jürgen Horn 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite has reached over 20 million downloads thanks to the Battle Royale PvP mode. This surpasses the major competitor PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), which has 17 million players.

Fortnite was originally a pure PvE co-op loot shooter, but now there is a popular PvP mode called Battle Royale. In this mode, you can fight each other in true PUBG fashion on a deserted island. As the gameplay is heavily reminiscent of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, there has already been some trouble with its developer Bluehole.

This has actually turned the PUBG developer into a promoter for the competition, especially since Fortnite: Battle Royale is both free-to-play and playable on the consoles PS4 and Xbox One. PUBG is currently only available on PC.

So it’s not surprising that Fortnite now has more registered players than PUBG.

Fortnite leads in player numbers, but PUBG still has the most concurrent gamers

Overall, Fortnite boasts more than 20 million registered players. PUBG has “only” 17 million.

We just passed 20 million players across all of Fortnite since launch! Thanks from the bottom of our ??? pic.twitter.com/LuVV5vb7wj
— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) November 6, 2017

Keep in mind: PUBG costs money and can only be played via Steam on PC. The version for Xbox One is still pending and whether it will ever be released on PlayStation 4 is still unclear. Therefore, Fortnite currently has the edge thanks to console players.

However, PUBG still clearly leads in terms of concurrent players. More than 2 million gamers have played PUBG simultaneously. The record for Fortnite is 800,000.

It remains exciting to see how the upcoming Xbox One release of PUBG will affect the situation. Will Fortnite be able to maintain its lead on consoles, or will players flock to the “original”?

If you are interested in whether Fortnite: Battle Royale is worth it, or if it is just a lame PUBG clone, you should read our article on the subject.

Citadel: Forged with Fire receives much-needed endgame content

Andreas Bertits 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Citadel: Forged with Fire receives endgame content – but currently, hardly anyone plays the MMO.

The survival MMO Citadel: Forged with Fire had a strong launch this July. Almost 1,400 players were simultaneously active in the early access version. However, by September, the player count had drastically plummeted. Currently, according to Steamcharts, only about 99 players are online at the same time.

The focus is missing

If you look at the reviews on Steam, they are mixed. Overall, the sandbox feeling that the MMO creates at the beginning is praised. However, many players agree that the focus is missing. At some point, the game loses its way and there are hardly any goals left to achieve. Additionally, many feel that the developers do not know where the journey should lead at all.

Endgame content aims to bring players back

A new endgame content for the MMO has been announced, and it might just bring what many players are currently missing. Three new dungeons will soon be added to the game, which offer significant challenges. Only high-level players should venture into the dungeons in groups. However, you must first find the three soul stones scattered throughout the world. These contain the essences of an evil power. When you find and repair the stones, the dungeons will open up and reveal the secrets that await there.

Currently, it is not yet clear when the update will be released. It will show whether it can reignite interest in Citadel: Forged with Fire and motivate players in the long term. As it stands, the MMO could be forgotten before it even officially launches.

We played the survival MMO Citadel: Forged with Fire some time ago and told you how it plays.

LoL – Zoe: Das sind die Fähigkeiten der neuen Heldin mit hohem Skillcap

Patrick Freese 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Zoe can throw bubbles and teleport briefly in League of Legends. Additionally, she steals spells from opponents and minions.

Recently, Riot Games announced the new champion “Zoe” in a trailer. At first glance, she appears to be a Disney character. However, this “cute” reputation is overshadowed by the nasty abilities she possesses.

Zoe Champion Introduction – Abilities

Those who face Zoe as an opponent must prepare for some nasty tricks. She can reuse active spells and summoner spells from you. This applies to 40 spells and items. Your Flash becomes her Flash.

Passive: Spark Flight

The next normal attack deals additional damage after Zoe has cast a spell.

Q: Star Surge

With the Q ability, you shoot a star that deals magical damage in a small area and applies the passive spell (Spark Flight). You can cast Q again while the star is flying. This redirects the spell.

The damage of the star increases depending on the distance traveled (in a straight line).

W: Spell Thief

Here, Zoe shows her mean side! When your opponent uses a summoner spell or an active item, they drop a spell shard. This shard remains on the map for a certain time.

If Zoe collects the shard, she can cast the corresponding spell that caused the shard to appear. If your opponent flashes in a fight, they drop the flash shard. Zoe collects it and can then flash. Some minions can also drop spell shards when killed by Zoe.

Passive: If Zoe uses a summoner spell, her movement speed increases for a short time. Additionally, she fires projectiles at nearby enemies (prioritizing the nearest enemy to her). The special thing about this is that each projectile can trigger the passive Spark Flight.

E: Sleepy Trouble Bubble

With this spell, Zoe throws a spell bubble in a specific direction. This bubble explodes on the first enemy hit and deals magical damage. Enemies hit become drowsy and fall asleep after a few seconds. Enemies affected by this CC take additional damage from the next attack or spell.

If an opponent falls asleep, the cooldown of this ability is reduced.

If you miss the bubble on an enemy, it remains as a trap on the ground for a certain time.

R: Portal Jump

With her ultimate, Zoe can teleport to a target location for a short time and will then automatically be teleported back. During the teleport, you can use normal attacks, cast abilities, and see over walls. However, you cannot move.

At first glance, the ultimate seems to be nothing “crazy”. But: On Reddit, RiotScruffy explains that the cooldown of the ultimate is 10/8/6 seconds.

This then demonstrates the synergy with the Q ability, which does more damage over greater distances. So if you teleport away from an opponent with R, cast Q in the opposite direction of the opponent, and then redirect the star towards the opponent, it should deal massive damage!

On the other hand, the ultimate can also intercept skill shots. You can teleport with Zoe into the grab of a Blitzcrank and then stand back at your starting position. Your ADC will love you.

Due to her cute appearance, players were likely deceived. According to Riot employees on Reddit, Zoe’s skill cap is very high. “Easy to play, hard to master”

Indecent and Manipulative – Critique of Loot Boxes in Call of Duty WW2

Schuhmann 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The new shooter Call of Duty WW2 has received quite a bit of criticism for its loot boxes. It’s not so much about the content, but about the presentation.

“My grandfather didn’t fight in Normandy so that I could open a loot box full of common items,” is a review title of Call of Duty WW2 from the site Giantbomb.

The sentence captures a general sentiment that many likely feel: Something is not right. It just doesn’t fit.

Some loot box mechanics in CoD cause frustration. This is nothing new; fans in many games have issues with loot boxes. It’s usually about the content providing unfair advantages, that you have to “spend money to keep up,” leading to a pay-to-win scenario. In Call of Duty, however, the criticism of the loot crates takes a different direction.

Casino on Omaha Beach

In CoD WW2, the criticism targets other, more sophisticated mechanisms:

In CoD WW2, the loot boxes are public, and you can even benefit by watching someone else open a loot box. It’s a social event. For some, this has an uncomfortable effect; it feels psychologically manipulative. Anyone who opens a loot box publicly promotes these loot boxes, inviting others to buy and open loot boxes themselves.

Others open loot boxes, you get prizes – This is happening in CoD WW2

Additionally, the actual animation of opening a loot box resembles that of operating a one-armed bandit. How the boxes are celebrated during the opening is similar to a gambling machine. This also gives the process a bad aftertaste. The US site Forbes accuses Activision of creating a casino atmosphere, enticing players to gamble with bling-bling, dancing colors, and spectacle.

https://youtu.be/Yb2adSy9Myw?t=1m22s

Some find it particularly inappropriate and obscene that this process takes place in the headquarters on the beach in Normandy. Where thousands died, players now open loot boxes and give in to commerce. Therefore, choosing the beach in Normandy as headquarters is considered inappropriate by some. It conflicts with the history of Call of Duty, with the significance and brutality of World War II.

In a statement from Activision and developer Sledgehammer to Forbes, it is stated that it is historically accurate for the beach in Normandy to be made into a headquarters. This is also historically documented – Omaha Beach was transformed into a busy military depot just days after D-Day.

The actual criticisms of the game, however, are quite positive:

Destiny 2: The winning weapons of the 2nd faction battle – What can they do?

Tom Rothstein 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, we are taking a look at the winning weapons of the second faction rally (group fight). What can these weapons do, what are the perks?

The second faction rally is live! Executor Hideo, Arach Jalaal, and Lakshmi-2 have taken their positions in the Tower to win over Guardians for their cause. You have one week, until November 14th, to earn as many faction reward packages as possible and lead your faction to victory.

The winning faction will offer a winning weapon for one week. This is called “Winner’s Giving” in the game. The winning weapons of the other two factions remain locked – you can only get one of the three weapons.

We will show you what these three weapons can do.

Honor’s Grace – Sword of the New Monarchy

Executor Hideo is the faction leader of the New Monarchy, standing in the furthest corner of the Bazaar. He offers a legendary sword as a winning weapon: Honor’s Grace.

This melee weapon deals Arc damage by default. Compared to the sword “Crown Splitter,” it has lower impact but faster swing speed.

Here are the perks:

Adaptive Frame: Rounded and reliable. Uppercuts are possible.
En Garde: If you attack quickly right after switching to this weapon, you deal extra damage.

You have the choice between:

Tempered Blade: Increased sword damage, more ammunition.
Jagged Blade: Increased damage at the cost of sword ammunition.

Choice between:

Breakout Sword Vessel: The sword vessel has low efficiency and high defense.
Enduring Sword Vessel: The sword vessel has high efficiency and low defense.

Truthspeaker – Grenade Launcher of the Dead Orbit

Arach Jalaal stands in the Tower Hangar. He is the leader of the Dead Orbit and has a grenade launcher on offer: Truthspeaker.

The Truthspeaker deals Void damage by default, and the magazine holds one shot. Aside from stability, the grenade launcher has strong stats across the board.

Here are the perks:

Light Frame: One-shot grenade launcher with remote detonation. Hold the fire button to shoot and release to detonate.
Quick Draw: The weapon can be drawn faster.

You have the choice between:

Close Shots: Increases stability, explosion radius, and decreases speed
Linear Compensator: Slightly increases speed, explosion radius, and stability
Hard Shots: Significantly increases speed, reduces stability and explosion radius

Choice between:

Shockwave Grenades: The explosion of the grenades staggers enemies
Black Powder: Increases explosion radius, reduces stability

Timeline Vertex – Fusion Rifle of the Future War Cult

Lakshmi-2 is also waiting for you in the Tower Hangar. She represents the Future War Cult and offers a fusion rifle named Timeline Vertex.

This power weapon deals Solar damage. The charge time is 660, and the impact is 70. In comparison: The Merciless has a longer charge time of 900 and increased impact of 75. Aside from stability, The Merciless is better in all stats.

Here are the perks:

Adaptive Frame: A rounded grip, reliable and robust.
Snapshot Sights: It is faster to use the sighting device

You have the choice between:

Spark BV: Short zoom, increased range, increased weapon readiness speed
Torch HS3: Medium zoom, significantly increased range, reduces weapon readiness speed

Choice between:

Enhanced Battery: Increases magazine size
Accelerated Coils: Faster charge time, reduced impact

This week, only power weapons are on offer. If you are a member of the winning faction, you will receive the winning weapon for 1000 Glimmer. All others can also purchase the winning weapon but must pay 50,000 Glimmer.

Which faction will win? According to our survey, the winner is already determined!

Bock auf eine Diablo-Alternative? MU Legend ist im Soft-Launch!

Patrick Freese 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Now you can start in the Open Beta of MU Legend on PC. Since there is no reset, today is basically the release for MU Legend. Choose your class and dive into the adventure. Expect PvP battles, dungeons, and more.

Fans of “hack and slash” mechanics and MMO elements now have the chance to experience these features combined in one game. Those who haven’t tried MU Legend in the last beta phases can now test the ARPG for free.

The Open Beta test seamlessly transitions into the game’s release. You will retain your characters and equipment; nothing will be deleted.

What is MU Legend actually?

Soft launch of MU Legend on PC started – choose your class and start

After successful testing phases, MU Legend is finally launching in soft launch. On the official website, you can register and download the game for free.

During character creation, you have the choice between four different classes. More classes will be added later in MU Legend.

Want to take a lot of hits but still make a solid impression? Tanks choose the Dark Lord
Do you prefer melee combat and want to deal a lot of damage? Choose the Blader
Would you rather deal damage from a safe distance? Grab the Whisperer
Are you into wizards? With the War Mage it gets magical

MU Legend Guide for Beginners – What You Should Pay Attention To

What Can You Expect in MU Legend?

Right from the start, it’s fast-paced, as your class begins with an AOE ability. This allows you to slice through groups of monsters instead of grinding for XP with slow single-target moves.

The maximum level is 65, but the real challenge is mastering the soul levels. You only reach the max level there at 500! The soul levels support you with important attack, defense, and support values.

This is why Blizzard does not announce a release date for Classic servers in WoW

Benedict Grothaus 7. November 2017 Reading time 5 minutes

The announcement of WoW Classic was one of the most striking news from Blizzcon 2017. However, there is still an indeterminate time between the announcement and the release. Why is it taking so long?

“If there were a switch – we would have flipped it.”

The desire for servers where old expansions or WoW Classic is running is as old as “The Burning Crusade”.

But for a long time Blizzard did not want to fulfill this wish. It went so far that Blizzard maintained the reputation of not listening to its player base.

Game Director J. Allen Brack says in an interview with PC Gamer that he is not exactly sure how it came about, but the idea developed that Blizzard was vehemently against Classic servers. However, there was always an internal desire at Blizzard to find a way to keep old expansions running.

“If we could flip a switch, and Classic WoW would run again, we would do it. We would flip that switch.” But according to Brack, there are numerous issues that need to be resolved and still need to be resolved before WoW can be like it was in 2005.

Blizzcon World of Warcraft Classic Servers Chromie

It’s not just about the game, but also the emotions

One of the most significant reasons why the team hesitated so long with their decision is the perspective of the players. Playing Classic does not mean experiencing Classic. So what exactly makes Vanilla WoW so special?

Many players fondly remember the positive aspects of the game. Things that they enjoyed or that they associate with great experiences: reaching level 60 for the first time, the first raid, the first mount, or the feeling of being part of a large guild.

They have become accustomed to the conveniences of retail WoW and would probably be upset if certain things were missing (Alliance players had no Heroism in Classic!). However, this is often overlooked.

Even though this objection still stands, Blizzard wants to finally jump over this shadow of the past. Blizzard wants to stop telling people what they think. What matters more is what the players think.

World of Warcraft Raid Loot — The battle against Nefarian was the first of its kind for many players – and it brought many guilds together.

Get an insight here into what it would look like on a Classic server.

The players deserve a game of Blizzard quality

Vanilla is firmly anchored in the memories of the players. If it were to be re-released today unchanged, it would probably have a completely different impact. It is the memories of the players that make WoW Classic the game it has become to this day.

It is not important to consider what things made Classic great. It is important to know why those things were great. The memories players associate with something are more important than the things themselves. It is about bringing back the feel of Classic.

Brack says: “This game means a lot to the players. They have invested hundreds of hours into the game, which they feel a deep connection to, and it is something they cannot experience today. It is not something that can just be played in Blizzard quality – but that is exactly what we want to deliver.”

“It’s like we have two MMOs running.”

The second major reason for the long deliberation is technical difficulties. To run WoW Classic, you need a separate server infrastructure. The current version of the game and the one from back then are running so differently that they cannot simply be connected.

For smooth operation, two teams would be required, each managing a full-fledged MMO. A significant effort that is not easy to handle. Only a recently found approach could allow Vanilla to run on the current server structures.

However, this does not mean that Classic WoW will have the same features as the live servers. LFR, Dungeon Finder, and any cross-realm activities will not be supported. To ensure this separation, a complete, separate team will work on the project.

A dedicated team for better performance everywhere

Blizzard’s promise of success? They will hire this team specifically for this project and only hire people who want to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to this endeavor. So the Classic WoW team is specifically hired just for Classic.

In the new and current content, the same resources will continue to flow. With multiple, separately working teams, better service for everyone can be guaranteed.

Due to the size of this project, the announcement was also very vague. The effort is so great that Blizzard does not want to set a deadline for itself. Therefore, for now, it remains at the announcement that the servers are coming – without further information. There is no target date.

We have compiled all the information about Battle for Azeroth in our summary article.

There will be many tourists – but that’s okay

Ultimately, the change of mind came primarily from the decision to overlook one’s own opinions. Even if players might only visit the servers as “tourists”, they deserve a game at Blizzard level.

With the announcement, Blizzard has fully committed to Vanilla WoW. The team has taken on this project at this level, so they will see it through. Once the servers are live, they will not be taken offline again. As long as there is World of Warcraft, there will also be Classic WoW.

Classic WoW is a piece of video game history. A game that cannot be experienced like this again. That’s why it’s important to offer the option to revisit it. It’s about preserving that history.

SMITE: Troll Alert! New Goddess Discordia Drives You Insane

Leya Jankowski 7. November 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

The action MOBA SMITE is getting a new goddess in patch 1.24 who could be called an absolute troll. Discordia has a dubious apple that repeatedly makes her opponents yell “I am the greatest!”.

Discordia will be a nuisance when you have to face her in SMITE! The Roman goddess is a mage and has an enchanted, golden apple. The fruit causes Discordia’s opponents to suddenly show a massive ego and feel the need to tell the whole world that they are the greatest!

Discordia herself is combative and pugnacious – she constantly compares her own strength with that of her team. The strongest team member is granted a strength buff by Discordia.

These are Discordia’s skills – Goddess of Discord

Discordia’s abilities bring a lot of crowd control. Her ultimate skill can incapacitate the entire enemy team, thus securing kills.

Passive – Contest of Gods:
- Discordia constantly compares herself with her teammates to see who is the best. The god in her team who has dealt the most damage to enemy players receives a power buff that scales according to Discordia’s level.
Uncontainable Magic:
- Discordia hurls a sphere of uncontainable magic to a target location. On her way, she deals damage to all enemies hit. At the target location, it splits into 6 smaller projectiles that fly in all directions, dealing damage to affected enemies and bouncing off walls. If the bouncing spheres hit enemies, they deal damage again.

Disruption:
- Discordia creates an area of disruption that damages all enemies hit. If 2 or more enemy gods are hit, they are additionally hit with madness for 1s, causing them to attack each other and deal additional damage. The same applies to minions among themselves. If only one target of a type is hit, it becomes rooted for a short time.
Restless Behavior:
- Discordia makes a short jump and creates an area of confusion for 5s upon landing. Within this area, she is stealthed and gains a movement speed bonus. The cooldowns of her 1st and 2nd abilities are additionally reduced for every 0.5s she spends in this area. Attacks from this area briefly reveal her.
Ultimate – Golden Apple of Discord:
- Discordia throws her golden apple of discord. It penetrates minions, deals damage, and bounces off walls. If the apple hits an enemy god, it deals damage and forces the god to hold the apple. Gods holding the apple become unbearable, causing them to be crippled and intoxicated, while constantly boasting. At the end of the ability’s duration, the apple explodes, deals damage, and spreads the effects to nearby gods.

I am the greatest! No, I am the greatest!

Particularly annoying and funny at the same time is Discordia’s ultimate ability. SMITE features an automatic voice system – the VGS (Voice-Guided-System), through which you can quickly communicate with your team.

VGS is also great for boasting and cursing in a nice way. The god who must hold Discordia’s golden apple constantly starts spamming “I am the greatest!”. If the apple then hits other opponents, they start yelling “No, I am the greatest!”.

This might lead to some “rage-quits”.

WoW, Overwatch: Cortyn’s Highlights and Disappointments of Blizzcon

Cortyn 7. November 2017 Reading time 5 minutes

We take a look back at BlizzCon 2017 and discuss the highlights in WoW and Overwatch. But also, the disappointments in games like Hearthstone or Heroes of the Storm will be addressed…

BlizzCon 2017 has ended, and slowly but surely all the information has been processed, panels observed, and the initial hype is subsiding. This is exactly the right time to reflect on the highlights of this year’s Blizzard convention.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth – Finally, War Again!

The BlizzCon was entirely focused on one announcement: the next expansion of World of Warcraft. In Battle for Azeroth, the primary conflict in Azeroth is revisited: Alliance vs. Horde. In a large conflict, entire capitals are even destroyed. Familiar game mechanics, such as world quests, remain, and new features, like island explorations and a variety of new races, sound promising.

The bombastic cinematic got me hyped, and the various panels promise exactly what I wish for in a WoW expansion: New zones with cool stories, plenty of great stories about major characters like Anduin, Sylvanas, and Jaina, as well as useful improvements across the entire game world. Especially the scaling of old level areas, which is supposed to come in the next patch, brings me joy.

I find it funny that now there are many loud voices in the community complaining that the Alliance and Horde are once again in open war, when there are other problems to address. And this right after every expansion has been criticized for the Alliance and Horde being too friendly with each other. Blizzard just can’t please everyone – this is clearly evident here.

You can find all information about Battle for Azeroth in our comprehensive overview article.

Overwatch – BlizzardWorld

Blizzcon Overwatch Moira Light and Shadow

In Overwatch, there was a major announcement and a minor one. The relatively unexpected reveal was the new hero Moira, who is now playable on the PTR. The healer supports her allies by siphoning life from enemies while simultaneously returning it to her teammates. This makes her a rather “dark” supporter, devoted to shady dealings – all in the name of science, of course.

However, the real highlight for me was the announcement of the BlizzardWorld map. What began as a small joke two years ago at BlizzCon, which was then referred to as “Blizzney Land,” has now become a reality. Overwatch is getting a Blizzard theme park where the universes of Blizzard can be found. Hidden inside are plenty of Easter eggs, such as the fast-food place “Snaxsramas.” Anyone who follows all Blizzard universes will hardly be able to stop laughing and marveling at this map.

That there are finally crossover skins for the heroes is the icing on the cake…

And I almost forgot about the Reinhardt cinematic – one might shed a tear!

Hearthstone – “Standard Addon”

Hearthstone Kobolds and Kandles Cinematic header

The new Hearthstone expansion “Kobolds and Catacombs” hasn’t thrilled me so far. For the first time, I have no urge to save gold just yet to buy booster packs later. The spark just doesn’t ignite, even with the cool card reveals.

The single-player mode with 48 different bosses, randomly selected each time to bring the feeling of a “Dungeon & Dragons” adventure, sounds good on paper. However, there is no incentive to play this mode multiple times since completing it with all 9 classes only grants an exclusive card back.

At least the mode is completely free – still, I can’t bring myself to be excited.

Only the exclusive arena cards are appealing to me, as they might bring some fresh air to my favorite mode.

Heroes of the Storm – The Chubby Alexstrasza

Heroes of the Storm Blizzcon Alexstrasza Character

I found the announcements of new heroes from Heroes of the Storm disappointing. Although Hanzo and Alexstrasza are both very cool characters, the red dragon lady shocked me. After she was seen “as known” in the cinematic trailer, there was a presentation of her in-game model. There, Alexstrasza looks almost a bit chubby and her head seems too small.

It’s fine to have a bit sturdier women in video games – diversity is good! But this just doesn’t fit Alexstrasza. The entire model looks strange, and the proportions seem off. I can only hope that Blizzard adjusts the model a bit. Because, to put it bluntly: I wouldn’t want to play an Alexstrasza that looks like this, no matter how great her abilities are. That’s not “my Alex” as I experienced her for many years in World of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft Classic – Reserved Joy and Many Doubts

I am happy that the people who have been crying out for official Classic servers for years are finally getting their wishes fulfilled. I will also definitely log in to the Classic server, create a mage, and as a “3-minute mage,” hop through the battlegrounds to kill some player outright and then run for my life for 3 minutes.

Can this be fun? Definitely.

However, I believe that this whole action will backfire in the long run. I personally firmly believe that a large part of the players who adore Classic may no longer cope with the game today. Because whoever used to be a student and could easily gather a dungeon group for 5 hours will typically not have the time for that today.

The player base and its habits have changed.

On the other hand, I also genuinely wish for every player to experience finding Bhag’thera in Stranglethorn Vale without a quest guide – that will definitely take an entire afternoon.

What were your highlights at BlizzCon and what did you not like at all? Were you overall satisfied or disappointed? Did anything really hype you?

Pokémon GO: Update 0.79.4 is now available as a hotfix

Patrick Freese 7. November 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, a different Pokémon GO update was already in rollout. The developers had to halt that. Now they offer an alternative.

For Pokémon GO trainers, there is now the new update 0.79.4, which is currently in rollout. In the next few days, you should be able to find and download the update in your app stores. However, there is no exact release date for Germany yet.

The update comes as a surprise, as the developers actually planned a different update, which now had to be halted.

Rollout of 0.81.1 stopped

With the update, which bears version number 0.81.1 on Android devices and 1.51.1 for iOS devices, the developers actually wanted to update the game. The rollout was already in the last few days, and first trainers received the update. But now Niantic pulled the emergency brake.

On Twitter, the team explains that they had to interrupt the distribution of the new update because of unforeseen performance issues. Until these are addressed, there is now an update alternative.

Why was the rollout stopped?

It is suspected that new errors occurred due to the update of the Unity engine (which Pokémon GO is based on). However, this has not yet been confirmed by official sources. Niantic only states that there are issues.

I have version 0.81.1 – Do I have a problem now? What should I do?

If you have already downloaded the Pokémon GO update 0.81.1 through APK-Mirror or other means and have not noticed any issues, all is well.

If you have issues with version 0.81.1, you should install the new version 0.79.4. This should resolve the new issues.

Update 0.79.4 / 1.49.4 rolls everything back

For trainers, the update 0.79.4 will be available in the coming days to keep Pokémon GO playable. Data miners have already taken a close look at the patch and confirm that it is a rollback of version 0.81.1. The changes have thus been reverted.
