Pokémon GO: This list shows important Pokémon of Generation 3

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 10 minutes

In Pokémon GO everything indicates that the third generation won’t take long to arrive. We have taken a closer look at the Pokédex and would like to present you the Pokémon of the third generation. 

The release of the third generation in Pokémon GO is just around the corner. The third generation is based on the games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, which took us to the Hoenn region. In total, this edition introduced 135 new Pokémon to the franchise, most of whom we may also welcome in Pokémon GO.

The first Generation-3 Pokémon are already coming to Pokémon GO with Halloween – fitting for the Festival of Ghosts, these are Ghost-type Pokémon.

It is high time to get ready for the new monsters and take a closer look at the Pokédex. We have examined the monsters of the third generation and considered what they could mean for Pokémon GO.

This includes Pokémon with special backgrounds such as the starters and legendary ones, as well as currently highly rated Pokémon like Salamence.

The Starter Pokémon and their Evolutions

Traditionally, each trainer may choose one of three starter Pokémon at the beginning of their journey. In Pokémon GO, it works a bit differently. The starter Pokémon of the second generation can only be caught or hatched from eggs.

The official starters for Pokémon GO are from Generation 1: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle – this has not changed even after the release of the second generation.

Currently, it is assumed that Niantic will keep it this way and you will have to catch the three starters from Generation 3 – or receive them from an egg. To develop and strengthen the starters, the Buddy System is available.

Here are the starters with their developments:

#252 Treecko

  • Weak against types: Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug

Destiny 2: The token system is not always the best system, admits Bungie

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, Guardians receive almost only Tokens as loot. Bungie has now realized that Tokens alone are not fun. 

In Destiny 2, the proud Guardians have become silly collectors of tokens, only daring to enter battles to receive a bag full of tokens as a reward. While once they returned home with a Gjallarhorn or a perfectly rolled Eyasluna as loot, proudly sharing the news with a broad smile on their faces, now they only grunt after a victorious battle: “Great, more tokens…”

Random drops have been minimized in Destiny 2. The excitement of finally getting the item they’ve long desired after the battle is gone. Instead, one already knows in advance: I fight here to get tokens.

But tokens are not sexy. Tokens are boring and provide no variety.

Therefore, Guardians have been complaining for weeks about this stark dominance of the token system. They refer to it derogatorily as “The Token King”.

Many players do find some advantages in tokens, but these should serve more as a supplement to random drops – not replace them entirely. After all, we Guardians are radiant heroes and fearless godslayers who should not settle for tokens but only for the best loot, with the most powerful weapons and armor, after a glorious battle!

eisenbanner-season2
Iron Banner Gear Season 2

Bungie has recognized this as well and is changing the Iron Banner

At TwitchCon, Bungie addressed these discussions about the token system – specifically regarding the Iron Banner. With the start of the Iron Banner, this discussion nearly boiled over, as the Iron Banner essentially represented a normal control playlist with different tokens as rewards.

Bungie now states that Guardians have collectively spent over 1500 years of playtime in the Iron Banner. Through this, they learned how Guardians engage with the loot system and concluded: The token system is not always the best system.

Guardians want a “more meaningful” reward system, Bungie admits. Community feedback has clearly shown this. Therefore, changes will be made to loot in the future.

With Season 2, there will already be a change in Iron Banner loot. Tokens will still be obtained – they will not be removed – but you can buy weapons directly from Lord Saladin for tokens and Legendary Shards. Until now, you could only redeem tokens with him for a random reward.

eisenbanner-waffen
Iron Banner Weapon with Ornaments – Season 2

In Season 2, you can specifically farm tokens and Legendary Shards to get the Iron Banner weapon you want (that Lord Saladin has available). So far, Bungie has only spoken of purchasable weapons. Whether there will also be armor pieces for purchase remains to be seen in the future.

Season 2 does not yet have a concrete start date. An Iron Banner event will definitely take place in Season 1. This will still proceed with the existing reward system.

Arriving at TwitchCon in a big Lamborghini – PUBG streamer flaunts

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

Someone has to replicate this performance: This PUBG streamer arrives at TwitchCon in a flashy sports car.

Dr DisRespect is a famous character in the Twitch and YouTube scene. He made a name for himself in the early days of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 with his videos. He is currently very popular on Twitch.TV with his PUBG stream.

At TwitchCon, he caused a stir with a powerful sports car. Additionally, a miniature version of Dr DisRespect was present at the event, challenging him to a dance battle.

Arriving with the Lamborghini to meet fans

On the weekend from October 20 to 22, the TwitchCon takes place, featuring many big names in streaming. League of Legends stars like Dyrus and Imaqtpie mingled with Shroud and Tyler1 among the crowd.

Many fans came specifically to the convention to finally meet their favorite streamer Dr Disrespect and maybe even take a photo.

The waiting fans were surprised by the Doctor on Friday with a special show performance. He arrived in a Lamborghini:

The fans were thrilled! And the little ones also have their fun at the Twitch.TV event. A young fan in the Doc’s outfit challenged him to a dance competition. In the video, you see the dance battle and that the Doc seems not to be in great shape anymore. After a few seconds, he concedes defeat and says “Stop. I can’t breathe anymore.”

Dieses Mobile-Game sieht aus wie PUBG, soll aber Terminator 2 sein

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

This game looks PUBG extremely similar and runs remarkably well. Somehow, it’s also supposed to be a version of Terminator 2.

The great success of battle royale games like H1Z1 or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds attracts imitators. On PC, we’ve already seen in GTA 5 Online and Fortnite game modes that are based on the battle royale principle.

Now a Chinese mobile game is jumping on this bandwagon, although the game is actually about Terminator 2. Its BR mode looks remarkably similar to PUBG.

PUBG Clone on the Smartphone?

On Reddit, user llllghye shared a gameplay video of the mobile battle royale shooter. You will quickly notice that a lot in the game looks just like in PUBG. Admittedly, the interface looks clear and easy to use.

However, the developers could have at least changed the color of the Wall of Death. The blue wall that approaches you here would show at least goodwill in green or yellow. As it is now, it resembles more a PUBG clone than a “similar game”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1y13GjN1M

Information about the game was shared a few weeks ago via Twitter. It was said that up to 48 players per round would be supported. However, during the airplane drop, the number “11” can be seen in the upper right corner. There, the living players are displayed throughout the game.

This doesn’t sound like the typical battle royale fun with many opponents that one is used to from other games. Perhaps the map here is correspondingly smaller and compensates for the lower number of players.

And what does this have to do with Terminator 2?

At the end of the video, Chinese text appears, which a few users translated on Reddit. It states the name of the game “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. It is said to be the official game for the movie.

However, in the game, we hardly get reminded of Terminator. Okay. The title music that starts around 1:07 minutes is prominent. And the motorcycle ride could be considered another similarity. But we couldn’t recognize a T-1000 from liquid metal. Maybe it’s hidden in one of the supply crates?

The Terminator 2 mobile game comes from NetEase. They are in a partnership with Blizzard and publish their games in China, such as World of Warcraft or Hearthstone.

Regarding new versions of PUBG: Version 1.0 is expected to allow climbing and diving

The Black Death macht das Überleben schwerer – Spieler wollen lieber ein Tutorial

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG The Black Death fights for survival. So do the players of the game – and this has now become even harder. The title needed something completely different.

The Black Death was never meant to be an easy game. Life in Europe during the Middle Ages, at the time of the plague, was no picnic, and that oppressive feeling is what the developers wanted to convey in the MMORPG. Therefore, surviving is anything but easy – and is now made even more difficult with changes to the game mechanics of the plague.

the black death 1

Survival is getting harder

As a plague doctor, you try to find a cure for the plague by performing many autopsies. This is how the game’s story is pushed forward with the update. Of course, you can also become infected in the process, just as any player can contract the disease – no matter what role they play. If you get infected, you go through several stages that ultimately lead to death.

Initially, you lose 25 percent of your health points, making you an easy target for other players. Then you start coughing, which allows you to infect teammates. Finally, death awaits you if you are not cured beforehand.

With the update, hunger has also become more dangerous and leads to death faster than before.

The Black Death New Art

Players want a tutorial

Players are somewhat skeptical of these new mechanics, as they find that The Black Death is already too difficult. For example, it is anything but easy to simply light a campfire, as items need to be crafted from resources that are hard to come by. Furthermore, the character dies very quickly from starvation, as food is scarce – and the update exacerbates this further.

Players feel abandoned in the vast world, where there are barely any explanations or assistance. Therefore, many would prefer a tutorial first before the developers tweak the game mechanics. Those who are frustrated from the beginning because they don’t know what to do and keep dying will quickly give up.

The update brings further changes, including a revamped UI, improvements to the housing system, the ability to buy your own kingdom, NPC behavior enhancements, and much more – but a tutorial is not among them.

The developers have already attempted to save the struggling MMORPG with earlier updates, but so far without success. According to Steamcharts, the player count remains very low, with around 40 active players at the same time.

Ab ins Mittelalter – Life is Feudal erhält Open Beta Datum

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG version of the medieval online game Life is Feudal is approaching Open Beta. Soon everyone can experience the harsh and dark world.

In the meantime, the developers have completed five closed beta phases and gathered a lot of feedback from testers. Now it is almost time and anyone interested in living a virtual life in a medieval world can join the Open Beta.

life is feudal bear

The Open Beta starts soon

The open testing phase starts on November 17. As Life is Feudal is a Buy2Play game (with a free trial), you need to get one of the packages from the official website to gain access. Here you have the choice between three variations:

  • The True-Believer Package costs 60 Euros and offers the opportunity to play six hours before the official start of the Open Beta and to register your character name 24 hours in advance. Your account receives a 30-day premium status.
  • The Devoted-Believer Package costs 90 Euros and allows you to start 12 hours before the Open Beta begins, reserve your character name 48 hours in advance, and grants you a 60-day premium status as well as a version of the survival game Life is Feudal: Your Own.
  • The Zealous-Believer Package offers the opportunity to start 24 hours before the Open Beta begins for 135 Euros, reserve your character name 72 hours in advance, and your premium status lasts for 90 days. You also receive not only Life is Feudal: Your Own, but an exclusive robe for your hero.

Life is Feudal

From Peasant to King

Life is Feudal is set to receive a trial mode, where you can only stay on the tutorial island. However, anyone who wants to play “properly” must purchase the game. You start in the MMORPG as a simple inhabitant of the medieval world, but you can work your way up to a king and manage your realm. Survival is just as central as building cities, fighting against other players, and crafting to obtain better equipment.

Are you interested in the medieval MMO Life is Feudal and want to survive longer than five hours? Then we have some tips for you.

Raid XXL in Destiny 2 – Teams land with 9 guardians in the Leviathan raid

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

A very amusing bug allows more than six players to participate in a raid in Destiny 2!

Raids in Destiny have always been designed for a maximum of six players. Since the release of the Leviathan raid, reports have emerged from players who managed to exceed the player limit.

Until now, only images have been available as evidence for these large fireteams, but now there is even a video!

Video shows more than six players in the raid

The possibilities of reproducing this bug seem limited. All affected players report that this constellation only occurred when players were kicked from the activity and rejoined.

raid-leviathan-8

Any players inspecting others currently participating in a raid can see that while there are six players in the fireteam, the maximum player count indicates 6/9. It is currently unknown what causes this bug.

However, it seems that nine players is the limit. The raid instance hosts a fireteam of six players, as well as one of three players. This bug is recognizable by the fact that teammates in the raid are displayed with a blue symbol instead of a green one.

The different phases of the raid can also be played normally with more players. Only during a wipe does the game seem to realize something is off and allows only the fireteam members to be revived. The remaining three players can only watch.

You can check out the details in the following video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vetnod_v1E&feature=youtu.be
View all changes in the Prestige mode of the Leviathan raids here!

Not recommended for imitation!

All affected players unanimously report how much fun they had with this bug. It is seen as a welcome change. There are no reports of Bungie excluding players who exploit this bug. However, we do recommend not to imitate this if you find yourself in this situation!

The Division players will remember that there was a similar glitch there, but it was significantly more extensive. Fireteams consisting of 20 people were not uncommon.

What do you think about such bugs? A nice change or should Bungie fix this quickly?

Pokémon GO: Special Boxes in the Shop – Which One is Worth It for You?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

For the Halloween event 2017, there are three special boxes with super incubators, premium raid passes, and more available in the shop. Which Pokémon GO box is worth it?

Currently, the Halloween event 2017 is active in Pokémon GO, providing trainers with many rewards. There are candy rewards and new monsters from the third generation that have not been found in the wild so far.

In the shop, you can purchase three new special boxes during the event. They have different contents and cater to different types of players. Some contents are more suited for solo players, while others are aimed at hardcore trainers. We will show you which box might be worth it for you.

Special packages with incubators and raid passes

This analysis comes from PokémonGOHub and is aimed at players who are already planning to buy something in the shop. Overall, the sentiment about the special boxes among trainers is mixed. Some say the boxes are not worth it. Others are happy that their purchases are now cheaper.

To help you decide which box might be worth it for you, we first clarify the contents and their discounts. Important: We are calculating super incubators at a price of 150 coins each.

Pokémon GO Discount Boxes 3

As you can see, the discount from the non-reduced price for each box is about 50%. Therefore, there is no clear buying recommendation. Rather, the boxes are designed for different types of players.

Pokémon GO Bronze Box

The Special Box

  • This box is particularly aimed at trainers who frequently participate in raids, offering six premium raid passes for 480 coins instead of 600 coins. The incense and nanab berries are also attractive for collectors. Unfortunately, there are no super incubators in this box.
Pokémon GO Silver Box

The Super Box

  • The Super Box is interesting for solo players. You will get a lot of incense and also super incubators here. Additionally, there are a few premium raid passes. If you don’t place much value on raids, then this box might be a suitable offer for you.
Pokémon GO Gold Box

The Hyper Box

  • This box is aimed at hardcore players. There is a mix of many items that you can purchase for about 50% discount. If you were already planning a large purchase in the shop and generally want to stock up your inventory, you might be satisfied with this box.

Have you purchased any of the boxes yet?

WoW: Subraces found in the game data! Nightborn & Void Elves

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Nightborne, Void Elves, Highmountain Tauren, and Lightforged Draenei. Concrete evidence suggests new WoW races!

Ian Bates, known to the community of World of Warcraft mainly as “Red Shirt Guy” from BlizzCon, has been the source of many revelations. When he’s not throwing the developers’ own lore errors back at them, he writes insightful columns and makes predictions about the future of World of Warcraft based on datamining information.

In his latest article, he describes solid clues indicating that we will get subraces in the next expansion – variations of existing races.

Datamining finds 4 “new races”

The assumption is based on the datamining of Patch 7.3. In the game files of World of Warcraft, there is a list of all major races in WoW. This includes player characters like humans, orcs, and night elves, but also NPC races like nagas, vrykul, or taunka.

WoW Subraces Datamining List

In addition, there are a number of parameters that also appear in the list. Among them are values for “CreateScreenFire” and “SelectScreenFile“. In the case of NPC races, there is only the variable “0”, but for player races, there is a code. This code determines which background image is displayed at character creation and in the login screen.

And now comes the exciting part: Since Patch 7.3, there are 4 new entries in this list of races, each having a code for “SelectScreenFile” and “CreateScreenFile”!

And it gets even better. The codes suggest that these races already use existing background images, meaning they likely belong to already existing races. If these assumptions are confirmed, we will have the following subraces with the next addon:

  • Blood Elves – Nightborne
  • Tauren – Highmountain Tauren
  • Night Elves – Void Elves
  • Draenei – Lightforged Draenei
WoW Legion Nightborne

It is particularly interesting that the Nightborne do not yet have a proper model that suits equipment. The current armor items for the Nightborne have always been part of the model. So there is still much more work needed to truly realize this subrace.

What exactly the “Void Elves” could be is also still uncertain. They could be direct servants of Alleria who has passed on her teachings to others. However, why they should specifically be night elves is questionable. It is possible that the “Void Elves” are a kind of high elves – which has been long requested.

What do you think of these findings? Do you believe there could be something to the data? Or is Blizzard deliberately trying to mislead us?

Deshalb ist das Timewalking im „Schwarzer Tempel“ bei WoW ein Flop

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

After the initial hype surrounding the Black Temple in WoW, dissatisfaction remains. The timewalking system is not well thought out.

In World of Warcraft, the timewalking “The Burning Crusade” event is ongoing until the end of next Tuesday (24.10.2017). In addition to the old dungeons of the expansion, interested players can also form a raid group of 25 people to conquer the Black Temple. The values of the enemies and abilities have been adjusted to provide a small challenge even at level 110.

WoW-Illidan

However, there are a few problems that the developers did not consider: the sheer size of the raid. The Black Temple is not something that a group of players can quickly roll through in just a few minutes. Depending on the group, you can easily spend 2-4 hours in the raid. This is particularly a barrier for LFR players and for all players with limited time.

LFR Assignments Give Raids a Structure

Newer raids at least offer the easy LFR variant, which divides larger raids into smaller sections with 1-4 bosses each. This way, even with limited time, something can be achieved.

If someone has to leave the Black Temple early because real life calls, they have very little chance of getting back into a “started” instance later. And that means that all previous bosses have to be killed again – without awarding loot a second time. Genuine enjoyment is not something this system offers.

The argument “then one should look for a guild” does not hold much weight here either, as raid-interested guilds have little interest in spending an evening in the Black Temple, taking away time from “real” raids. After all, the fights in the temple are no longer fresh, and the loot is so poor that even fresh characters at level 110 think twice about making a detour into the temple.

Cortyn says: My opinion on timewalking raids has changed over time. After the announcement, I was thrilled to once again face Illidan in style “as before”. However, if Blizzard does not tweak the mechanics here and perhaps splits the raids into different wings as is the case today in LFR, then I see a dark future for this feature. A large part of the community has simply evolved. Finding 25 players willing to go through a raid for 4 hours straight, the loot of which they no longer need, is simply not happening anymore.

Or to put it in Akama’s words: “I still remember how the temple once was…”

How do you like the timewalking raid “The Black Temple”? Is it still fun, and do you have a suitable guild for it? Or do you go with randoms and end up frustrated?

Xur bringt endlich das Exotic mit, auf das die Hüter ewig in Destiny 1 warteten

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Guardians are logging back into Destiny 1 in droves. The reason: Xur finally has the Exotic that Guardians have been waiting for months.

Since early September, our “weekly Destiny articles” here on Mein-MMO, like the Weekly Reset, Xur’s visit, or the Trials start, have only focused on Destiny 2. After all, we want to keep up with the times, so we decided to make a clear break from these Destiny 1 rituals to start fresh in the Destiny 2 era.

This weekend, from October 20 to October 22, it’s worth taking a look back into Destiny 1. An event has occurred that Guardians have been waiting for months in vain.

Xur, the Agent of the Nine, is currently not only hanging out in Destiny 2 but also in the Tower of Destiny 1. And he has the Transversive Steps!

destiny-transversiv
The Exotic Leg Armor “Transversive Steps”

What were the Transversive Steps again?

The Transversive Steps are Exotic boots for the Warlock. They were discovered in the databases back in 2015, but they only made their way into the game with “The Taken King” in September 2016.

The Exotic perk “Vortex” means that you move faster while crouching. When you pick up ammunition, your weapon will be reloaded automatically.

This doesn’t necessarily sound like an Exotic that triggers immediate power fantasies, but they were indeed quite useful in practice. Some Guardians were big fans of them and used them all the time.

Therefore, everyone wanted to test how they played. However, there was one issue: To get the Transversive Steps, you either had to be lucky or wait for Xur to bring them. And Xur had been withholding the “Transversive Steps” for months – until this weekend.

You can now buy them until October 22 (Sunday) at 11 AM for 13 Strange Coins from Xur, if you want to complete your collection. Xur is in the Tower by the Vanguard, right next to the overview of completed quests.

destiny-xur
Xur in Destiny 1

In fact, this is not the first time Xur has brought this Exotic. Already in the first week after the launch of “The Taken King,” he brought them with him.

This current event has been celebrated in several threads on the reddit forum. At one point, the Xur thread for Destiny 1 even had more upvotes than that for Destiny 2. Many Guardians are saying that they will log back into Destiny 1 just for this.

Such heights of excitement, like when Xur brought the Gjallarhorn, are not quite reached by the Transversive Steps – but it does feel a bit reminiscent. The community probably won’t create its own holiday this time, like Gjallarhorn Day.

The Transversive Steps, by the way, returned in Destiny 2. What they can do now can be found here.

Pokémon GO: Zu Halloween gibt’s dieses Shiny-Pokémon aus Gen 3

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The Ghost Pokémon of the 3rd generation have appeared since the start of the Halloween event in Pokémon GO. One of the five is available as a Shiny variant.

On Friday evening, the Halloween event started in Pokémon GO. During the event, players are rewarded with “sweet” bonuses for catching, hatching, and sending Pokémon. In addition, five Ghost Pokémon from the 3rd generation are expected in the game. As trainers have discovered, there is currently one of them also in its Shiny variant.

Gen 3 Ghost Shinies

Since yesterday (October 20), Pokémon GO trainers worldwide have been out trying to catch the new monsters. In the game, there are now Zubiris, Shuppet, Banette, Zwirrlicht, and Zwirrklop. This is a special moment for the Pokémon GO community, as trainers can now catch the monsters from the Hoenn region in the wild for the first time.

Surprisingly, trainers have now discovered a special form of one of the five new ghosts. This refers to Zubiris. The monster with the “diamond eyes” has been found by some trainers not only in its normal purple appearance but also as Shiny.

Shinies are visually altered variants of Pokémon and are very rare in Pokémon GO. The Reddit user Ryozaaki confirms the Shiny form with the following screenshot:

Pokémon GO Zubiris Shiny

Why only one Shiny?

During data mining a few days ago, several Shiny forms of the 3rd Gen were discovered. Trainers assumed that all ghosts could be encountered in their Shiny form. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment.

The Shiny reports so far only refer to Zubiris. None of the other four ghosts have been discovered in their Shiny form during the Halloween event. To date, there are only five other Shiny variants in Pokémon GO: Magikarp and Gyarados as well as Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu.

We are curious whether there will be more Shiny surprises for Halloween. Have you caught a Shiny Zubiris yet?

Star Wars Battlefront II: Kampagne wird nur 5-7 Stunden lang

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The duration of the campaign for Star Wars: Battlefront II has been revealed. And it is less than what fans hoped and expected.

Fans are eagerly waiting for the next “Star Wars” game. Battlefront II is already on the starting blocks. Unlike its predecessor, developer DICE aims to implement a strong single-player campaign. Players will accompany Iden Versio as she experiences the death of the Emperor and continues to fight for the Empire. The gripping trailer does the rest and looks simply fantastic.

But how long will the single-player fun last? 10 hours? 20 hours? Maybe even a bit longer? After all, shooters are not particularly known for their long campaigns.

Colleagues from Press-Start conducted an interview with David Robillard and brought the result to light.

troopers fire battlefront 2

According to this, Battlefront 2 will have a duration of “5-7, maybe 8 hours” in the campaign – a disappointment for many fans. The reasoning is that players should have a very “intense experience in the ‘Star Wars’ universe” that does not feel “stretched out”.

Cortyn says: Back then, in the good old days when the world was still alright and games only consisted of a maximum of 32 colors, games with a length of 5 hours were on the cover CD of Bravo Screenfun and were called “demo version”. The extent disappoints me quite a bit because I was really hungry for the game after the trailer and just Stöffels trailer analysis really got me excited. But now I will probably wait until the game is thrown at me for 5€ – what a shame.

But maybe the 5-7 hours are just right to tell an exciting, compact story. However, it won’t be worth 60€ to me. I got a better deal in the cinema.

Battlefront 2 already has many problems – such as the massive pay-to-win accusations.

Conan O’Brien advertises Lineage 2 Revolution, has no idea

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The Korean company Netmarble wants to bring its mobile MMORPG Lineage 2 Revolution to Europe and North America at all costs. They have enlisted the Clueless Gamer, Conan O’Brien, as their ambassador. He announced the release date for Lineage 2 Revolution at TwitchCon.

For months, it has been known that the Korean game company Netmarble will make a huge push to North America and Europe. The war chest is well-filled, and Netmarble spares no expense or effort to secure a strong market entry in the West. After all, the gaming market for smartphones is huge – everyone has one of those devices. There is real money to be made.

Lineage is to Asia what WoW is to the West

Netmarble has already been successful in the West with games like Marvel Future Fight, but with “Lineage 2 Revolution” they have a mobile MMORPG in reserve that is set to usher in a new era in smartphone gaming. This has already been achieved in Asia.

Lineage is a massive brand name in South Korea. There, for decades, Lineage has been what “WoW” is in the West. With Lineage 2 Revolution, the franchise has conquered mobile devices in Korea and large parts of Asia. The big hype around Lineage 2 Revolution started back in early 2017.

lineage 2 revolution 02

The catch is that Lineage 2 Revolution is essentially a “real PC MMORPG” for mobile devices with PvP and everything that comes with it.

For months, people have been waiting for the game to come to Europe and the USA. Now at TwitchCon 2017, it made a big appearance, and the release date was announced.

Hearthstone streamers promote Lineage 2 Revolution

In a 50-minute presentation, Netmarble introduced the game. They have recruited a number of well-known streamers as ambassadors who speak positively about Lineage 2 Revolution.

You can see streamers known primarily from Hearthstone, like Kripparian, Trump, DisguisedToast, or Reynad – but also other prominent faces from Twitch.

Conan O’Brien as the main ambassador for Lineage 2 Revolution

You can tell how much money is behind the project over the course of the presentation. Netmarble has secured US talk show star Conan O’Brien as the main ambassador for Lineage 2 Revolution.

O’Brien has established a good reputation as an incompetent but humorous gamer in his talk show as the “Clueless Gamer” and showcases the advantages of Lineage 2 Revolution in a longer segment.

Lineage 2 Revolution

Clueless Gamer Conan O’Brien as a Korean gaming god

You can tell that O’Brien maintains an ironic distance from gaming and has no idea about the game itself. He simply reads off all the features – he doesn’t know what the abbreviations and buzzwords mean and doesn’t even bother to pretend that he does. He lets his co-host, Day 9, explain the nuances, of whose nickname O’Brien finds endlessly amusing: “Sounds like someone in a drug rehab program.”

O’Brien ironically notes that he promotes the game wholeheartedly because he believes teenagers should spend more time on their smartphones. He claims to have caused 7 accidents on the way to the show because he was so engrossed in Lineage 2 Revolution. Besides, he is a god in Korea.

Again and again, Conan O’Brien hints during the presentation that he has absolutely no idea what he is reading, while he claims “it just came to his mind.”

It is a funny and somewhat bizarre presentation with the charm that also characterizes the gaming segments from O’Brien’s show “Clueless Gamer”. You can also see it as satire on the influencer advertisements seen before, in which streamers celebrate the game.

The presentation concluded with a massive PvP match in Lineage 2 Revolution.

lineage 2 revolution 04

This seems to be the way NetMarble wants to promote the game here in Europe and North America:

  • Prominent streamers, especially from the Hearthstone environment, as influencers
  • PC MMORPG on mobile
  • 24 classes, open world, all the frills
  • massive PvP battles
  • and Conan O’Brien, because they can damn well afford it.

Release date for Lineage 2 Revolution announced

By the way, Lineage 2 Revolution also has a release date. It will come to Europe and North America on November 15.

We will then cover the exact features of the game in further articles.

Epic Games is currently working on new weapons and consumables for Fortnite Battle Royale. They are also tweaking the balance of some features. You can find out what else the developers revealed in their video update here.

In a developer update, Epic Games revealed that the overhaul of weapons is currently a priority in Fortnite Battle Royale. There are many ways to introduce new weapons into the game. The update also mentioned more points such as consumables and balance.

These are the important changes and plans:

  • Voice Chat: The voice chat was recently added to PC. Players on PS4 and Xbox will have to wait a bit longer, but the update with voice chat will also come to consoles soon.
  • When will new weapons arrive? The Battle Royale mode offers many possibilities to add new weapons. Epic wants to first introduce new weapons that best fit the core gameplay. As soon as it is possible, to create a balanced mix for new weapons that fits into the current weapons mix, the new weapons will arrive.

  • New Consumables: Epic feels that consumables currently need the most improvement. The developers are testing various prototypes. One of them is a Healing Potion that heals 75% of health and provides a small shield, but the effect takes effect over a certain period of time.
  • Adjustments to Weapon Accuracy: Adjustments to assault rifles are currently being worked on. According to Epic, these require the most editing. Things are being worked on like adding more accuracy while moving and shooting. If the adjustments leave a good impression, they will arrive next week.
  • Scope: It is possible to individually adjust the zoom (scope) in the settings.
  • What’s next? Account progression and character customization will be added and linked. Improvements to Aim Assist are also being worked on. “Quality of Life” improvements are also on the agenda – soon it should be possible for consoles to perform actions faster.

Destiny 2: Seht hier neue Waffen, Rüstungen, Geister, Schiffe aus Season 2

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

Season 2 of Destiny 2 comes packed with new items. Here we show you some weapons, armor pieces, shaders, ghosts, ships, sparrows, and an emote!

At TwitchCon, Bungie finally talked about the seasons in Destiny 2. In the first year of the MMO shooter, there will be a total of four seasons, each bringing significant changes. In addition to balance adjustments and a clan progress reset, new gameplay content, events, new PvP maps, new weapons and armor pieces, and some revisions of existing systems will be introduced.

You can find all the information about the seasons in Destiny 2 that have now been revealed here.

When Season 2 will start is still unknown. However, the developers have broadly revealed which content players can look forward to.

During the livestream, they showcased some items that Season 2 will introduce.

Items from Season 2

dawning-gear

In Season 2, the “The Dawning” event returns – this is the winter event that was celebrated in Destiny 1 in December 2016. This event brings a complete, exclusive armor set for each Guardian class: Design-wise, they are reminiscent of the Dawning armor sets from last year, but they are not simple reskins. They are new designs.

The Dawning event is also expected to introduce special weapons. There are no screenshots of these yet.

The Iron Banner will be revamped in Season 2. Lord Saladin will then offer weapons directly for sale. Additionally, you can earn ornaments for Iron Banner gear that change their appearance:

Major changes are also coming to the Faction Rally. In Season 2, it is set to change fundamentally. Among other things, with these new items:

toter-orbit

Dead Orbit:

neue-monarchie

New Monarchy:

fwc

Future War Cult:

waffen-fraktionen

Faction Weapons:

It is noticeable that the Future War Cult does not bring flashy items, but rather simple and elegant ones.

Here you can see ornaments for the “Trials of the Nine” weapons:

The Shiny Engrams will contain a lot of new items in Season 2, like these:

Ships:

Sparrows:

Ghost Shells:

The Elder Scrolls Online grants you more power over your equipment

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online allows you to customize your gear in the upcoming Update 16 and the DLC “Clockwork City”. You can find out how this works here.

Update 16 for The Elder Scrolls Online brings not only the DLC Clockwork City. In addition to the new region and the content found there, there is a new crafting system: Transmutation. This allows you to customize items to perfectly match your playstyle.

Build your weapons and armors with the properties of your choice

eso transmutation 01

Transmutation in ESO is a process that allows you to equip your weapons and gear with the values you want. For example, imagine you found a sword that has the property “Charged”. But you want it to be “Infused”.

In the past, that would have been your bad luck. You would have had to grind until you found the property you wanted. With the Transmutation system, it will soon be easy to change the property to another.

The following conditions apply:

  • Knowledge of the desired property for the corresponding item (you must have analyzed it)
  • The required number of transmutation crystals

What are transmutation crystals?

You are guaranteed to receive the crystals needed for transmutation if you fulfill the following tasks:

  • Daily first random dungeon
  • Vows of the Undaunted
  • Weekly Trial quests
  • Leaderboards for Arena, Trials, and Battlegrounds
  • Completion rewards for Alliance war campaigns
  • Your first reward of the day at “Just Rewards!”
  • Mahlstrom Arena (Veteran mode only)
  • Dragonstar Arena (Veteran mode only)
eso clockwork asylum 02

With a bit of luck, you will still get crystals after the last boss in a dungeon or from the random group search after the first of the day.

Transmutation – Only in the house or in the DLC “Clockwork City”

Additionally, you must have access to a transmutation station. You can find this in the open world only in the Brass Fortress in the Clockwork City DLC. However, you can also set up a transmutation workbench in your home or use the workbench in someone else’s house as a guest. In this case, you can use transmutation without owning a house or the DLC.

eso clockwork 01

Note: Transmuted weapons are no longer tradable and are bound to your account. You can only exchange the items with your other characters.

Clockwork City will be released on October 23 for PC and on November 7 for PS4 and Xbox One.

It’s worth getting into ESO, thanks to the Morrowind chapter, it now has over 10 million registered players.
