Destiny 2 verändert sich – Season 2 bringt Winter-Event und andere Waffen

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

Bungie explains how the seasons in Destiny 2 will work. In Season 2, there will be a winter event, different weapons, adjustments, and much more!

Most of you probably already know: We are currently in “Season 1”. You can see this by going to your clan profile on the Bungie website. Above your clan level, it says “Season 1”.

But what are these seasons in Destiny 2 about? Bungie provided answers to this question during TwitchCon.

Winter Event with Ice Hockey in Season 2

Community Manager DeeJ spoke along with two developers from the live team about the seasons. The live team at Bungie is responsible for time-limited events such as the Iron Banner or the Faction Rally. Their job is to keep players engaged and motivated, providing them with new goals and challenges. This is exactly what the seasons aim to achieve.

In the first year of Destiny 2, there will be four seasons. Each season is supposed to bring significant changes to Destiny 2. We are currently in Season 1. There is no specific start date for Season 2 yet. However, there will be at least one Iron Banner and one Faction Rally in Season 1 before that.

The highlight of Season 2 will be the winter event: “The Dawning”, in German “Der Anbruch”. This already took place in Destiny 1 at the end of 2016 and brought new exotics, the SRL, a book of triumphs, and strike scoring.

What The Dawning will bring to Destiny 2 is not yet fully known. Bungie only reveals that you will be allowed to play ice hockey and throw snowballs at each other: The ice hockey will likely be similar to the mini-soccer game in the Farm. You kick a puck back and forth and try to get it into the opposing goal.

The snowballs are supposed to be throwable in the open worlds – and if you hit an opponent with one, they will take damage.

Additionally, during “The Dawning” there will be new cosmetic items as well as a special armor set.

There has been no mention if the SRL, the Sparrow Racing, will return. More information about this winter event will follow in the future.

Numerous Innovations in Season 2

Destiny 2 is currently struggling to maintain long-term motivation. Many guardians complain that they have nothing to do in the endgame. Season 2 is intended to create new incentives for guardians to have something to do again.

The clan progress will be reset. In Season 2, everyone will start at zero again. The perks on your clan banner change from season to season. They always have a specific theme. In Season 1, the theme is “Cabal”.

There will be major changes to weapon balance with each new season. The seasons can be seen as milestones where tweaks can be made and new content can be deployed. However, smaller balance adjustments can also be made during a season if necessary.

ruhige hand

Not only weapon balance, but also the weapons themselves change from season to season. Apparently the kinetic and energy archetypes will be shuffled, and weapons will receive different perks. Thus, the pool of playable weapons will grow from season to season. An example from Bungie: The Iron Banner hand cannon is currently a kinetic weapon. In Season 2 it could return as an energy weapon with different perks.

In Season 2, ornaments for items from the Trials, Iron Banner, and Faction Rally will be introduced. These ornaments can be unlocked by mastering certain smaller challenges.

The Iron Banner will be adjusted in Season 2. You will then be able to buy weapons directly from Lord Saladin. The Trials of the Nine will be visually revised.

The contents of the Bright Engrams will be updated. In Season 2, you will find new emotes, new ships, new sparrows, and much more. These cosmetic items are season-specific. A cool ship that you get in Season 2 will not be available in Season 3 anymore. An exception are the shaders: these can always be obtained. New shaders are added each season, but none are removed.

destiny-2-hüter-pvp

There will be “Clarion Calls”. These are time-limited global events that grant XP bonuses when you complete certain tasks. Some of these events require a clan membership, but not all.

In Season 2, at least one new Crucible map will come. Something will trigger its release – similar to the Trials, the Raid, or the Iron Banner.

Update: You can find all the screenshots of weapons, armor pieces, ghosts, ships, and sparrows known for Season 2 here.

By the way: There was no information about ranked games, private matches, or new weapon mods.

More details will be available at the Paris Games Week. This will take place at the beginning of November.

What do you think of all this information? Is Destiny 2 heading in the right direction?

Overwatch: Ana hat ‘nen Vogel und die Community rastet aus

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new skin of Ana from Overwatch has caused an uproar in the community. “Is Blizzard cheating its customers?”

Currently, many players are flocking to Overwatch, as the Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017 event is in full swing. In addition to the popular mode of Junkrat’s Revenge, there are new loot boxes that are guaranteed to include some items from the event. With new skins available this year, the demand is high.

However, one skin is causing frustration among Overwatch players. The new skin of Ana, where she transforms into a classic pirate. Because the look “Corsair” makes players feel cheated.

In the preview of the skin, Ana has a small parrot sitting on her right shoulder – just as a true pirate maiden with an eye patch should.

Overwatch Halloween Event 2017 Skins Corsair Ana

The problem: In an actual match, Ana does not have the chattering bird sitting on her shoulder; it virtually does not exist.

On Reddit, players are now discussing whether the skin is misleading – after all, something different is being advertised than what one actually receives. The corresponding post had already received over 20,000 upvotes in just 14 hours, making it one of the most successful posts of this month on Reddit.

The community’s demands include two options:

  • One should be able to “return” the skin for the full amount of credits or at least receive some compensation
  • The parrot should be later implemented into the game and sit on her shoulder during matches
Overwatch Halloween Loot Boxes

There is currently no statement from Blizzard on this issue. It is possible that Blizzard included the parrot in the preview only as an Easter Egg and decoration, but the “joke” backfired significantly. On the other hand, it may also be a bug preventing the parrot from being visible in the match.

A lot of drama over nothing or clearly “false advertising”? Did you also get upset about the skin? Or is it just a small pile of pixels that we shouldn’t get so worked up about?

Mercy is currently a source of frustration. The latest patch has made her unbearable for professionals!

WoW Patch 7.3.2 – Patchnotes: Kein Raid, aber Nerf der Konvergenz!

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In World of Warcraft: Legion it is currently quite calm. Most of the current content has been completed, and the wait for Antorus is dragging on. However, patch notes and the preload for patch 7.3.2 are now available! Unfortunately, still without a raid.

A new patch for WoW is ready to go – and this comes just after the beta servers were switched to patch 8.0.0. As slow as it seemed to progress with the coast and Argus, Blizzard now seems eager to catch up.

Details about the beta patch 8.0.0 can be found in our report
 

Patch 7.3.2 has been available for preload via the Battle.net launcher for a few hours now. Blizzard has also released the English patch notes. We have translated them for you:

World of Warcraft Troll

 

Update: The translated patch notes have been replaced by the official German patch notes!

The German patch notes for patch 7.3.2

  • General bug fixes and minor changes to class balance.
  • Support for additional currencies in Battle.net.
  • Additional adjustments in preparation for the release of the raid Antorus, the Burning Throne.

Although further adjustments will be made for Antorus in this patch, the raid will not be unlocked with patch 7.3.2, but will be opened at a later time.

WoW Shaman Artwork

Classes:

  • Druid
    • Balance
      • The trait ‘Touch of the Moon’ has been revised. The amount of healing now increases per additional rank and the proc chance has been set to 20 % (previously: fixed amount of healing with a proc chance of 5 % per rank). It also will not trigger if the caster has more than 95 % health.
  • Shaman
    • Elemental
      • The trait ‘Shamanistic Healing’ has been revised. The amount of healing now increases per additional rank and the cooldown has been set to 30 sec. (previously: fixed amount of healing with a cooldown of [30 sec. minus 2 sec.] per rank).
WoW Legion Class Order Hall Paladin

Order Halls:

  • Three new missions have been added: “Scouring Krokuun”, “Abandoned Armory”, and “Material Marathon”. They all reward you with improvements for the armor of followers.
  • The Vindicator has been added as a vendor of Ursargerit.

Items:

  • Convergence of Fates now reduces the remaining cooldown of one of your powerful abilities by 4 sec. (previously 5 sec.) and the primary stat has been increased by 10  %.
  • A number of items for class sets from classic content can now be sold to vendors.
WoW Legion Companion App Title

Legion Companion App:

  • The “Mission Complete” button has been added back to the map.
  • Updated to support patch 7.3.2.

Player versus Player:

  • The weekly quest “Something Different” now grants the intended combatant cache for the active season.
  • The illusions Victory of the Ancients and Glorious Tyranny can now be purchased by players who have earned at least one of the following achievements for 10 honor badges:
    • Glorious Tyranny:
      • Duelist or Champion of the Horde/Alliance in season 14.
      • Duelist or Champion of the Horde/Alliance in season 15.
        World of Warcraft
    • Victory of the Ancients:
      • Duels or Champions of the Horde/Alliance in season 1 of Warlords of Draenor.
      • Duels or Champions of the Horde/Alliance in season 2 of Warlords of Draenor.
      • Duels or Champions of the Horde/Alliance in season 3 of Warlords of Draenor.

Benedict says: The adjustment of the Convergence was much needed, as it was still stronger than the trinkets from the Tomb of Sargeras for many classes. However, whether this nerf is enough to make it truly comparable remains to be seen.

The class adjustments are somewhat lackluster considering this could be the last patch before Antorus. With the current state, many players may feel taken aback in the raid. More precise information will likely be available only at Blizzcon.

More information and a schedule for Blizzcon can be found in our post!

New Hearthstone Expansion at BlizzCon – 5 Wild Theories About It

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

BlizzCon 2017 features the new expansion for Hearthstone. We have 5 theories for you about what it could be about.

It is now official: At BlizzCon 2017 not only the new expansion for World of Warcraft will be presented, but the next expansion for Hearthstone will also be revealed there. Based on last year, a release is expected just a few weeks later.

Hearthstone Mammoth Release Plan

Even beforehand, the developers of Hearthstone had teased a bit about what lies in the future of the card game. All 3 expansions from 2017 were hinted at in a small preview image. The jungle leaves represented Journey to Un’Goro, while the frost rune symbolized Knights of the Frozen Throne.

The last image, which represents the third expansion of 2017, gives little away. One has to look very closely to notice that a pile of gold is shimmering through the image. There is plenty of gold in Azeroth – but at least there are various theories one could establish.

The colleagues from Hearthpwn have formulated 5 theories that we want to present to you.

1. Booty Bay – Plenty of Pirates

WoW Pirates Booty Bay

When thinking of great treasures, pirates quickly come to mind, plundering their way across the seas. Indeed, there are many pirates in WoW, particularly in the pirate stronghold Booty Bay. The conflicts between the various pirate factions (like the Bloodsail Buccaneers) provide plenty of room for cool stories and even cooler cards. As pirates are already represented in Hearthstone, this would be a great opportunity to do more with this card type…

2. Kezan Island – The Stronghold of the Goblins

hearthstone-goblin-by-rafael-zanchetin-talan

Piles of gold? Surely the greedy goblins have their fingers in it! If we aren’t getting a South Seas expansion in WoW, at least we could get one in Hearthstone! The goblin metropolis Undermine certainly hides plenty of mountains of gold, obtained by the greedy green skins through dubious means. Goblins are known to do anything for money – and would produce anything as long as the price is right. Furthermore, players have long wished for more insight into the lives of goblins, and a conflict between rival trade princes and barons would be the perfect setting for a fun-yet-serious expansion, following the rather gloomy Frozen Throne.

3. The Deadmines and the Defias

Defias Brotherhood

However, the entire masonry guild of Stormwind was cheated out of their gold. Because Lady Onyxia enjoys sowing discord, the diligent workers who rebuilt Stormwind were never properly compensated. This led them to band together as the Defias Brotherhood and plot wicked revenge against Stormwind from the Deadmines. They robbed, looted, and swindled quite a few coins in the process. With the numerous bosses and different characters lurking in the Deadmines, there would be plenty of potential for fresh cards.

4. The Darkmoon Faire

WoW Silas Darkmoon

Some players suspect that the gold might not be “coins,” but rather tokens from the Darkmoon Faire. The Faire appears to be a place full of joy and thrilling discoveries under the leadership of the gnome Silas Darkmoon. However, aside from all the attractions and fun features, the market also has a dark side. It is said that sinister forces are at work and Silas has bound the employees through blood oaths. Moreover, the Faire is not shy to make a “critic” simply disappear…
The various attractions would even provide some seriously cool boss fights.

The Darkmoon Faire was a big deal in the “old” Trading Card Game of Warcraft – which is still completely missing in Hearthstone.

5. The Treasure of Deathwing

WoW Deathwing Wallpaper

The last idea is a bit farther-fetched, but that doesn’t mean much in Hearthstone. In the Broken Shore of the Legion expansion, players of WoW find the cave of Neltharion and within it a particularly large treasure that has since been taken over by kobolds. But how did Neltharion a.k.a. Deathwing come by this treasure? And which heroes wanted to stake a claim to this treasure? A cataclysmic event that has endured for several millennia is sure to have roasted many a creature, which would now make a fitting card.

Do you hope that one of these theories is true? Or do you have your own ideas for the next Hearthstone expansion? Let us know in the comments!

Did you know that waving can already lead to accusations of sexism? It can happen quickly if you’re a professional Hearthstone player…

Royal Blood vs. Lineage 2 Revolution – Who brings the 1st “real” Mobile MMO to the West?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The Korean mobile MMO Royal Blood aims to become the first “real” mobile MMO of the quality of a PC game in the West. However, the competition is right behind – the release of Lineage 2 Revolution is expected to be announced this weekend at TwitchCon.

In South Korea, mobile MMOs are currently experiencing unabated success. The immensely popular Lineage 2 Revolution by Netmarble managed to generate over 146 million US dollars in its first month after release. The game has also been successfully marketed in Japan and other countries in Asia since then.

But in the West, another game is set to snatch a large part of the mobile MMO pie: Royal Blood!

Gamevil wants to participate in the mobile MMO market

Royal Blood graphic

Royal Blood is a complex and beautiful mobile MMO. The game comes from developer Gamevil, a company that, while not small with its 450 employees in Korea, is more of an underdog compared to giants like Netmarble.

Nevertheless, the folks at Gamevil are not afraid of the competition and plan to establish their own IP in the 46 billion dollar market of mobile games with Royal Blood. Royal Blood aims to establish itself on the market as a full-fledged mobile MMO through the following features:

  • Large, vibrant game world with many players
  • Raids with dozens of players and powerful loot
  • Various “stances” of heroes. Depending on your stance, you should have a different playstyle.
  • High gloss graphics thanks to the Unity engine
  • Dynamic quests for solo players and groups
  • Networking technologies like in a PC game
  • Side activities like fishing
What is Lineage 2 Revolution? Release date will be announced soon

Royal Blood offers top items and conquest campaigns in PvP

Royal Blood Gameplay 01

Moreover, Royal Blood includes realm vs. realm PvP with up to 200 players. This is another way to distinguish itself from Lineage 2 Revolution. While it also features mass PvP, Royal Blood sees itself at an advantage here.

In Royal Blood, you will be able to conquer entire areas in PvP. For this, you will earn “Lord Points”. With these, you can unlock rare and powerful items. PvP should be worthwhile as top gear is said to also be available there and not just in raids.

Royal Blood wants to score points in the West before the competition

Kyu Lee, the president of Gamevil, realizes that the fight for the top in Korea will be extremely tough. Lineage games have been established there for years. Additionally, they actually wanted to release Royal Blood in Korea before Lineage 2 Revolution. However, they couldn’t manage that. Lineage 2 Revolution was released in December 2016, while Royal Blood, despite having over 100 dedicated developers, is still in development.

In the West, however, the market is still largely untapped and he sees a good chance for success there. Especially if his game is released here before the competition. Royal Blood is therefore heavily focused on success in the West.

According to Lee, mobile devices are a good platform for MMOs. The mobile market offers great potential here and is expected to grow stronger in the future than the PC market. The release of Royal Blood in the West is set for sometime in 2017. However, Lineage 2 Revolution is also highly anticipated and will likely announce its release date at Twitch Con starting October 20.

Royal Blood, on the other hand, has no concrete announcement for its global release other than “2017”. The race will be close and Gamevil must hurry if it wants to gain an edge before Lineage 2 Revolution.

Read here why Royal Blood could change the way you play MMOs.

Heute Nacht enthüllt Destiny 2 die Seasons – Was steckt dahinter?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Seasons are an important innovation in Destiny 2 – but what is actually behind it?

Update: Tonight is the night. We are curious about what the Seasons will bring? – Here is all the info about the Seasons!

Original report:

Most clan members among you may already know: We are currently in “Season 1”.

season 1

If you go to your clan profile on the Bungie site, you can see your progress there. The clan level as well as the Guardian Oath score are indicated – and it states: “Season 1”.

Recently, we learned that the new Iron Banner in Destiny 2 is tied to this Season system. This PvP event will have daily and seasonal milestones to measure your progress.

But: What are these Seasons actually about?

All the info about the Season system will come in October

In fact, Bungie has not provided any concrete info about Seasons so far. Only now is Bungie bringing up this term and announces:

  • All info about Seasons will be revealed on Friday, October 20, during the TwitchCon via livestream. The time is 4:30 pm Pacific – that is in the middle of the night for us on Saturday, October 21.
destiny-2-kabal

In this stream, the developers want to explain what Seasons mean for Destiny 2, what changes from season to season, how many Seasons can be expected, and when Season 2 begins.

What is currently known about Seasons?

  • The Seasons are supposed to keep the motivation of the Guardians high, to keep the “Destiny community engaged”. This was written by community manager DeeJ in a “This Week at Bungie”.
  • The clan level and clan perks will be reset each season. In the new Seasons, you can unlock new perks.
  • Seasonal Iron Banner milestones will be introduced.
  • And: Some activities will also be reset with the start of new Seasons! This info is on the Bungie Help page regarding the resets.

For the activity resets, the Weekly Reset is actually responsible. This brings fresh tasks weekly. How the activities will be changed with the Season Reset is, therefore, an exciting question. Certain constants like the “Time Limit Modifier” in the Nightfall strike may be replaced by other modifiers. Perhaps new enemies will appear in some content. However, this can currently only be speculated.

What do you think? What will Season 2 bring?

Presumably, the second season will begin before the first expansion:

Star Trek Online schenkt euch Uniformen aus der Netflix-Serie Discovery

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The SciFi MMO Star Trek Online is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the series “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. Additionally, you receive a free shuttle. Furthermore, you are gifted a uniform from the new Star Trek series Discovery.

Star Trek Online takes place after the conclusion of the last Star Trek movie storyline in the old timeline, but covers all other Star Trek eras of this timeline. Therefore, you can easily mess around in the past and explore the universe during the time of Kirk and Spock.

With the latest bonus content, they even go further back in time: to the era from Star Trek: Discovery.

Sparkly uniforms and TNG shuttle for free!

Star Trek Online Discovery Uniform 02

Star Trek Discovery is the latest series in the Star Trek universe and also takes place in the classic timeline. However, in the 2250s (well over 10 years before the Star Trek Classic series with Kirk and Spock), while the official STO occurs in 2410.

But regardless of whether over 100 years lie between the two narrative worlds, you get the chance to obtain a uniform from Discovery for free. The clothes with the sparkly look may not appeal to every fan, but they definitely stand out! Additionally, there is a fun “Type 7 Shuttle” from the cult series “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (TNG).

Anniversary promotion for the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation

Star Trek Online TNG Shuttle 01

The reason for the two gifts is the 30th anniversary of TNG. To receive your uniform and the shuttle, you only need to open the “Promotions” tab in the shop on PC or console, and you can wear sparkly uniforms while making the universe unsafe with the shuttle.

However, the promotion is valid only until October 31, 2017, at 6:00 PM.

Star Trek Online now already has the uniforms from Discovery. Will the ships follow soon?

Endlich ein neues PC-MMORPG – Bless kommt 2018 auf Steam!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The Korean online role-playing game Bless has a turbulent history behind it and was almost completely dead for a period of time. Now it has a rough release date on Steam for 2018, a new trailer, and an updated website in the West.

The story of the Western release of Bless, the promising MMORPG from South Korea, is a great drama. Originally, the game was supposed to be published here by the Berlin publisher Aeria-Games. However, the deal failed because they wanted to thoroughly revise the game in Korea and simply couldn’t finish it on time. Aeria-Games did not want to wait any longer and eventually ended the partnership.

Bless was even considered dead for a few days, and no one expected the Western release anymore.

Bless Steam 02

In the meantime, the developers at the Korean company Neowiz have taken control and want to distribute Bless independently in Europe. They are apparently further along in this ambitious project than expected.

Bless has a new trailer and website

Bless Steam 03

Recently, there is a new website for Bless. There you can see pictures of the world, view the seven races – including cool cat beings! – and find information about the game. Bless is said to allow powerful realm-vs-realm PvP battles, with 100 players on each side.

Also new: Bless is set to release in 2018, specifically on Steam! There is already a dedicated website for it on Valve’s distribution platform. Recently, the developers have provided a cool new trailer, showcasing much of the stunning world of Bless.

https://youtu.be/yKJMIWi3F78

You can find the Steam page for Bless here, and we have also embedded the trailer for you here!

We expect more details about the Western port of Bless to be revealed this weekend during TwitchCon. There should be news about Bless Online.

New footage of Monster Hunter World (PC, PS4, Xbox) can be seen in a Japanese TV commercial. It mainly shows battle scenes between hunters and monsters.

Capcom released the first TV commercial for Monster Hunter World today in Japan. The advertisement is only 30 seconds long but reflects the dynamics of monster hunting well. It mainly features battle scenes of the hunt.

Some of the various hunting weapons are shown in action, and the monsters also attack each other. In Monster Hunter World, a realistic ecosystem is aimed to be created, where a logical food chain exists.

The advertisement also shows the three areas that have been released so far:

  • the Ancient Forest: The forest resembles a tropical jungle and is huge. In the center is an ancient tree that is the heart of the forest.
  • the Wildspire Waste: Everything here is dry and seems more dead than alive. Nevertheless, some creatures have settled here, which could also be due to the vast swamp area bordering the waste. Water flows from the ancient forest. The area is called Wildspire Waste because ants build giant hills resembling towers.
  • the Coral Highlands: This area is completely new and resembles a coral reef. Curiously, the area is located on land and mimics the ebb and flow of the sea. The currents are created by air, causing coral eggs to float upwards.

First TV spot for Monster Hunter World – the release is not far off!

Overwatch: Dank neuer Mercy „so schlecht wie noch nie“

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Mercy is causing problems once again in Overwatch. Many players think: The hero shooter has never been this bad!

overwatch-mercy-witch-healing

In the nearly 17 months since the launch of Overwatch, the game has experienced many ups and downs. Problems with balancing have continually caused frustration and bad mood. For a long time, the chunky Roadhog was a thorn in the players’ side. But after dethroning the king of duels, attention turned to another problem: Mercy.

Mercy’s long journey with no end in sight

Mercy used to have one of the most powerful ultimates in the game. The mass resurrection, which could bring back up to 5 fallen allies simultaneously, was a real game changer. Matches were often turned around at the last second because of it.

The problem: It was neither exciting for the opposing team nor for their own team – not even for the Mercy player. Mercy simply waited behind a corner until all her teammates were dead, then jumped in and initiated the resurrection. Fun and skill look different.

Blizzard was then forced to revise Mercy. The mass resurrection was turned into a regular ability with a long cooldown. Mercy’s ultimate, the mass resurrection, was replaced by “Valkyrie,” allowing Mercy to fly and be more effective for 20 seconds.

Time and again, smaller changes were made that fiddled with the cooldown and effectiveness of the single resurrection. But finding common ground with the community has become impossible.

Unloved. Mercy causes frustration among players.

Fans find Mercy matches boring

In recent weeks, numerous fans have been complaining on Reddit. Overwatch has always been difficult as an eSport due to poor viewer functions. But with the revisions to Mercy, watching has become even more boring, as every match now plays out the same way.

This is also evident in the absurdly high pick rate Mercy has, which no other hero can reach.

At the APAC tournament, which took place just after the latest patch, it was particularly bad. Here, two teams were primarily dueling with their respective Widowmakers, who were repeatedly resurrected by Mercy.

Overwatch Mercy Poster

Basically, every game now revolves around who can quickly take out the opposing Mercy when she doesn’t have her Valkyrie ready. Mercy is, according to accusations, virtually unkillable in the pro scene during Valkyrie if one doesn’t have a tactical visor (Soldier: 76) or gunslinger (McCree) available.

Some fans are even calling for Mercy to simply be given back “her old ultimate” – the complete team resurrection. Although that was also annoying, its effect only occurred a few times per match, so the frustration was limited.

Many players believe that resurrection simply cannot be balanced. They suggest completely abandoning this concept and coming up with something entirely new for Mercy. Or, if one wants a simple solution: ban Mercy in pro tournaments until Blizzard comes up with a good solution.

What do you think of Mercy and the healer’s problems? Should Mercy be completely revised again? Or is she just right as she is now?

Team Deathmatch has disappeared from Overwatch. Whether it will return is discussed here.

Destiny 2: Workhorse – Is the exotic Gatling gun worth it?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

The workhorse in Destiny 2 is an exotic auto rifle that functions like a Gatling gun. Is it worth it?

During the “Destiny 2” beta, the workhorse caused a stir: it was one of three playable exotics – and a weapon like no other.

destiny-2-sweet-business-gatling

For the workhorse, which is categorized as an auto rifle, is essentially a Gatling gun – an automatic weapon with a revolving barrel:

Currently, Xur has the exotic on offer. Is it worth buying?

How to get the workhorse – Locations

There are several locations for the workhorse:

  • You can obtain it as a random drop from all sources that can drop exotic engrams. You’ll need some luck.
  • Xur: Sometimes the Agent of the Nine has the weapon for sale. You will need 29 Legendary Shards for this.
arbeitstier

Xur sells you the weapon up to a maximum power level of 270.

What makes the workhorse special in Destiny 2? The perks

The workhorse, known in English as “Sweet Business,” is an exotic auto rifle. It is carried in the kinetic slot.

The stats are interesting: The base rate of fire is 360, and the magazine size is a massive 99. All other stats such as impact (18), handling (10), or reload speed (10) are extremely low, with only the stability (46) being decent. Why would one equip such a weak weapon?

This is where the special perks come into play:

  • Payday: This perk ensures the large magazine and better accuracy when firing from the hip.
  • Let’s get down to business: When you hold down the trigger, range and rate of fire are improved, and ammo pickups are automatically loaded into the magazine. The rate of fire increases significantly.
Destiny 2 Gatling

Also noteworthy is the perk High-Caliber Rounds, which causes shots to stagger enemies. 

Is the workhorse worth it?

The gameplay style of this exotic is dictated by the perks: you are supposed to play aggressively and shoot at enemies for an extended period, preferably from the hip, which increases accuracy. You should feel like the hero in an action movie, blasting through enemies with a big minigun.

Thus, the workhorse should primarily be seen as a fun weapon. It’s enjoyable to enter battle with this Gatling gun, holding down the trigger and pumping around 100 rounds into enemies. Additionally, the weapon has a cool sound and looks great.

Destiny 1 veterans might reminisce about the assault rifles when holding the workhorse. This is a weapon class that has been removed from Destiny 2.

The workhorse not only has a high fun factor, but it can also be quite useful in certain situations. However, it does not rank among the top-tier exotics that one must always have.

  • In PvE, you can quickly decimate your enemies, but this can also be done with other auto rifles without using your exotic slot. The workhorse excels particularly against large bosses that you can keep under fire for a long time. Once you reach the maximum fire rate, your damage output is enormous.
  • In PvP, the workhorse has the slowest time-to-kill of all auto rifles (1.67 seconds). In comparison, Uriels Gift and Origin Story have 1.07 seconds. However, if you shoot at the enemy with the maximum fire rate, the optimal TTK is only 0.93 seconds. This requires 12 critical hits and 3 body shots. In a direct duel, you will often come out on the losing end, but if you are in sustained fire and enemies come one after another, you have a true beast in your hands.

In short: If you don’t have the workhorse yet, go for it. The weapon is fun and can shine in certain situations.

Note: If you want to get more out of the workhorse, you can try combining it with the Actium War Rig from Titan. This allows you to shoot continuously for about 12 seconds (instead of 7 seconds)!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 18, the Ultimate Scream event celebrates Halloween in FUT 18. New Scream cards will be added to Ultimate Team. Here are all the details about the Scream Team.

From Ultimate Team, it becomes Ultimate Scream! This is the annual Halloween event hosted by EA Sports in FUT mode. At the same time, it is the first major event coming to players in FUT 18.

Here is an overview of what to expect.

When does Ultimate Scream start? Release date of the Halloween event in FUT 18

As confirmed by EA Sports:

  • Ultimate Scream returns on October 20, 2017 at 7 PM.

Ultimate Scream was first celebrated in FIFA 16. Now it is taking place for the third time.

In FUT 18, the event will last just under two weeks. It is expected to end on November 1 at 7 PM.

Halloween cards in Ultimate Team – All Scream player cards – Scream Team

During Ultimate Scream, there will be special Scream cards in FUT 18. These will have a black and orange design.

The “Scream Team” consists of 23 players. It features a selection of players who have performed strongly on the pitch recently and are now rewarded with upgraded special cards.

The following applies:

  • These Halloween cards are available from now until October 29 in packs and will replace the standard cards of the respective players.
  • If you already have standard cards of these players in your team, nothing happens to them. So if you want a Halloween card, you must draw it from the packs or purchase it on the transfer market.
  • The Halloween cards have only minor boosts to player stats compared to the standard cards. However, there are exceptions: Between October 29 and November 1, these player cards will become “Monsters” – meaning they will be extremely upgraded. After November 1, they return to the normal Halloween cards with minor boosts. During the season at “frightening times,” EA Sports indicates, they will occasionally be upgraded again.

Halloween event – with special packs, SBCs, offers

During Ultimate Scream, EA Sports will put several set offers online, hold SBCs, and offer special items like Halloween jerseys. Gifts via the web app are also possible.

Update:

  • At the start of the event, Promo Packs will go live. A Premium Electrum Player Pack for 12,500 coins and a Premium Gold Player Pack for 25,000 coins. These are available for 4 or 2 days.
  • These are the jerseys available during the event:
    jerseys
  • The Dracula Squad is live as an SBC, through which you can obtain a Premium Gold Player Pack. It is active for 2 days.

How does Ultimate Scream affect the transfer market?

Predictions for the transfer market in FUT 18 should always be taken with caution, as the market is subject to fluctuations and depends on several factors.

It is expected that many packs will be opened during the Halloween event, as fans want the Scream cards. This means that more cards than usual will land on the transfer market. This will lead to a decrease in the prices of individual FUT cards. So during the event, keep an eye out for bargains.

Aus For Honor wird For Horror! – Das bringt das Halloween-Event

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In Ubisoft’s multiplayer battle epic For Honor, it’s Halloween time! The “Festival of the Otherworld” has begun, bringing a spooky version of the 4v4 Dominion mode where you fight against the undead!

Do you want to get properly spooked in the online game For Honor? Then you can participate in the newly launched Halloween event, where you master a new game mode and earn exclusive Halloween rewards.

For Honor Halloween 2

The Endless March awaits you

With the Festival of the Otherworld, the “Endless March” makes its way into the game. This is a new version of the 4v4 Dominion mode, where different rules apply. Now, you will face skeleton warriors who deal more damage than the normal warriors.

You still need to try to conquer the zones on the map, which will only temporarily earn you points. You will only earn permanent points by eliminating skeleton warriors and enemy players.

For Honor Halloween 3

Spooky rewards and cosmetic items

Additionally, you can look forward to a series of exclusive rewards related to Halloween. For example, you can equip your characters with spooky masks that transform you into demonic versions of yourself. These masks are placed in a new slot for customizing your hero.

It gets even spookier with cosmetic items as well as new mood effects, emotes, and creepy helmet accessories. You can obtain the rewards through loot drops at the end of a battle in the Endless March or by purchasing them in the shop.

The items in the shop are always changing. This week you can buy the masks for 15,000 steel, and next week a werewolf emote for 10,000 steel, which has a special effect that you will have to discover yourself.

The Festival of the Otherworld ends on November 2. If you want to quickly get the new items for For Honor, you need to hurry, as the prices will increase after the event.

With this event for For Honor, Ubisoft hopes to please the players, who need to be appeased after the embarrassing ESL tournament.

Hearthstone: Professional waves, community accuses him of sexism bullying

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A friendly wave or a nasty diss? The community of Hearthstone is angry about an ambiguous gesture.

In the world of sports, small gestures can be seen as unsportsmanlike conduct – and the same holds true for eSports. This is what player Chang-Hyun Kim, better known as Cocosasa, has recently experienced.

Last weekend, the Summer Hearthstone Championships took place in Los Angeles. There, Cocosasa faced off against player Wang XinYu, alias BaiZe. For the most part, the match proceeded relatively uneventfully. But then Cocosasa brought out the legendary card Prophet Velen with his Priest and waved his right hand at the camera.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uav4kE6F9cA&feature=youtu.be&t=652
Hearthstone Cocosasa waving

The commentators immediately asked: “Did he just say goodbye to her?”

What might seem like an innocuous gesture stands in stark contrast to the rest of the game. Prior to this, Cocosasa had completely ignored his opponent and put on a “poker face.”

With a wave to the sexist

Then what had to happen, happened: The community got angry and insulted Cocosasa for his unsportsmanlike behavior. There were calls for him to be banned from future tournaments. Others even viewed it as a sexist belittlement of BaiZe and claimed that he intentionally wanted to discourage women from making a name for themselves in this eSport.

Other streamers quickly jumped to Cocosasa’s defense, stating that one should not overreact and inflate a playful gesture into an act of sexism.

In Korea, some Hearthstone minions are waved at

Cocosasa apologized to BaiZe and the viewers at the beginning of the week, explaining that he always plays Hearthstone with “full body commitment,” which leads to such gestures. The wave was not intended as a “goodbye” for his opponent, but a “hello” acknowledging Prophet Velen.

It is quite common among streamers to “greet” legendary cards in this manner. Defenders came to his aid on Reddit, stating: “That is a Korean custom, the Velen-hi, to greet Velen.“

However, this incident also raises the intriguing question: What counts as unsportsmanlike conduct in a Hearthstone tournament? Is it permissible to provoke an opponent with such gestures to induce a mistake or moment of inattention? Or should one aim to play the match as emotionlessly as possible?

Cortyn says: You can really make a mountain out of a molehill. To me, this looks like a classic case of overzealous SJWs. It’s only a scandal if you want to see it that way. At worst, it’s a minor unsportsmanlike act that shouldn’t create such big waves. We are talking about a simple wave – and not about a raised middle finger or another obscene gesture. Especially with lively streamers who often keep their community entertained with gestures and movements, we should keep the ball flat.

Have you seen the double class event in Hearthstone? Only for Halloween!

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Pay2Win allegations are hard to avoid

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of the upcoming online shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 are aware of the criticism from players regarding the loot boxes and explain that it is not so easy to avoid accusations of pay-to-win.

During the open beta of Star Wars Battlefront 2, testers expressed strong criticism about how the loot boxes give advantages to those who spend money on the boxes. Therefore, the developers have already announced some changes.

Now, the developers have spoken again about the accusations and explain that they can indeed understand the players’ fear of pay-to-win.

Battlefront2 March

Pay2Win is hard to avoid

Chris Matthews from Electronic Arts says: “There are games that exploit players and there are games that do a better job. Dice has paid close attention to how Star Cards work, giving players more options in battles. Things like “pay-to-win” are hard to avoid, but the developers are really doing a great job balancing the system. The voices from the community do not annoy us, as we love our fans. We are gamers ourselves and want to create something that everyone can enjoy – but we understand the concerns.”

Mitch Dyer, who worked on the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2, explains additionally: “That’s exactly what the beta is for. To see how players respond to the balancing, the maps, and the gameplay flow. What do players enjoy and what do they not? What works and what doesn’t? We use all this feedback to improve Star Wars Battlefront 2. This will become a game that exists solely because of player feedback. Couch co-op, a single-player campaign… none of that would exist without the players who have shown interest in it. Dice listens to the feedback.”

Battlefront Evil

The loot box system is not finished yet

Dice states that the complete system with the loot boxes was not even included in the beta, as further fine-tuning is being conducted. Because although the Star Cards contribute to making you more powerful in the game, much more is needed to be really good in the game. We will find out how the system will eventually look on November 17 when Star Wars Battlefront 2 is released.

Do you want to know what changes Dice has already announced for the loot boxes of Star Wars Battlefront 2? We have outlined them in an article.

Mein-MMO fragt: Seid Ihr auch so schlecht mit dem Gamepad wie ich?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Which control method do you prefer? Some players swear by the gamepad with its ergonomically placed buttons and analog sticks. However, other gamers prefer the good old mouse and keyboard with their many keys and functions. What type of player are you?

Yes, I admit it! I just cannot handle controllers! Whenever I try, I’m completely confused when it suddenly says “Press R1 for a heavy attack.” Every time, I have to carefully look at the gamepad and search for the corresponding button. Even when I know it’s those buttons at the top of the gamepad, I still don’t exactly know where the right button is and whether R1 is the upper or lower button.

This is probably due to my severe left/right weakness and is always super embarrassing at events like GamesCom.

Marvel-Heroes-Controller

At game presentations, you usually get stuck with some stupid controller and a nice PR person says, “Come on, play!” The Shame, the Shame …

Controllers are really practical!

gaming controller xbox playstation

“What a noob this Stöffel is! Controllers are totally awesome!” I hear many writing here. And yes, of course, gamepads are great! If you can handle them, they combine the most important functions of most games on a few, easily reachable buttons and sticks. OMG, these little sticks are also terrible, I can hardly manage with them!

But no matter, for many games – like For Honor, The Witcher or Warframe – gamepads are a great thing. This way, experienced players can play smoothly and intuitively and certainly have a great gaming experience. Why would anyone want to use something else to control?

Mouse and Keyboard, that’s all you need!

Blizzard cat on keyboard

“Not true at all! Controllers are for console gamers! Real gamers play with mouse and keyboard,” some other readers might say here. That may be a bit harshly worded, but at least for me, controlling with mouse and keyboard is non-negotiable.

Nowhere else do I have all the keys and functions in sufficient quantity. And the precision of a mouse is still unmatched! No wonder console shooters sometimes have brutal aim assists, because otherwise, you wouldn’t hit a barn door.

Sure, a keyboard is primarily a work tool and not primarily designed for gaming. Special gaming keyboards do have their own functions, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, you constantly mistype and certainly end up as clueless as I am with the gamepad.

Gamepad Vs. Mouse & Keyboard – Which control do you prefer?

Now it’s your turn. Which control do you prefer? Is your heart set on DualShock controllers and Xbox gamepads? Or do you have an awesome gaming keyboard and precision mouse with tons of extra buttons? Let us know in the comments!

The Division: Dark-Zone-Event ist jetzt live! – Schnappt Euch den Loot

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

A Dark Zone event has started in The Division. You can find out what it brings and how long it lasts here.

The agency is eagerly waiting for Update 1.8 in the coming days and weeks, which will bring a lot of stuff that agents have been waiting for, in addition to two new game modes and a map expansion.

Although there is no concrete release date yet, if you want to pass the time until the launch, you can now benefit from a new event in the Dark Zone and grab more loot.

Event Info from October 20 to October 23

This Dark Zone event is not a “global event” but a kind of “weekend event” where you can earn more rewards than usual within a set period.

The event is divided into two phases:

  • From October 20 to October 21 (each at 2 AM), Dark Zone supply drops will contain additional rewards. There is talk of a “double reward”.
  • From October 21 to October 23 (each at 2 AM), supply drops will appear in the Dark Zone more frequently. They will appear every 30 minutes.
supply-drops-event

With supply drops, a crate with loot is dropped somewhere in the Dark Zone, protected by enemies. The agents who grab the loot first will get it. All others will go home empty-handed.

This means that at the event, you have the chance to get more loot or get loot faster through supply drops.

By the way: Yesterday, the “State of the Game” was canceled because some people from the community team are currently out of the office. Community developer Hamish Bode is currently at TwitchCon. The next weekly status report will therefore take place next Thursday, October 26.

By then, we should know if a special Halloween event in The Division is coming, which the developers mentioned a few weeks ago – or if this Dark Zone event was all they meant.
