PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Squad Mode – Once with Professionals!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 5 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a blast even as a solo player. But what about the squad mode? Does the battle royale shooter play differently in that mode? Jürgen tried it out with a team.

PUBG 06

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently being played by up to a million players at the same time. This leads to absurd scenes, many of which occur in squad mode. For example, when a sneaky Korean infiltrates an enemy team and takes them all out at the right moment. Or a team that flies into a house through a window on a motorcycle and wipes out the enemy.

I, Jürgen, wanted to experience that as well and gathered a team.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – A whole different game in squad mode!

By now, I know PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds well enough in solo mode. But how does it play with three other teammates? I found three good team members and started a squad mode round.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Loot Hamsters unwanted!

PUBG Mk14 EBR

As soon as we landed, a big difference to solo mode became apparent. While a lone wolf shamelessly takes everything lying around and every other player is fair game, as a team player you can’t just fill your pockets insolently.

Rather, loot needs to be shared fairly, because it’s pretty pointless if you have three different packs of ammunition, while your teammate is in his underwear, with an empty gun and a pan in hand providing cover.

PUBG – The enemy at the toilet!

PUBG 08

That’s exactly what happened to us in the first fight. I had not even a pan besides the mentioned underwear, but I did have a flashbang. A nearby teammate was better equipped, and the other loot was with the enemies or our remaining squad. Unfortunately, they were tied up at another front.

Therefore, we were surprised while looting enemies and had to hide in the bathroom. Crouched behind the toilet, I was ready with the grenade, while my teammate with the pistol whispered to me via Teamspeak slightly panicked: “The guy is coming in, we fight until the end! Hit him! Oh God, please hit him!” It was like “The Shining”, only with shotguns, pistols, and grenades!

PUBG – With underwear and grenade against shotgun

This moment was pure adrenaline! We heard the enemy shuffling outside the door, but he was probably scared himself and didn’t dare to come in.

PUBG 09

Then suddenly the door opened! I threw the grenade, but the damn thing bounced off the door frame and flew back into our room. It went kaboom and no one could see anything anymore! All three of us stumbled around disoriented, hitting and shooting aimlessly.

In the end, however, the spread of our enemy’s pellets prevailed in the cramped space, and we were left helpless to crawl on the floor for a few more seconds. Then they finally finished us off. But we were now especially hooked and immediately started the next round!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Professionals on noob hunt

PUBG 07

Already in the next round, we had more luck and found enough weapons and gear to equip the whole team. For the first time, it became apparent that my squad consisted of real pros.

The guys and gals were seasoned Arma players (and Arma was the first game that PUBG creator Brendan Greene had modded) and a well-coordinated team. Therefore, the area was always scouted with military precision, and the squad leader coordinated our actions with brief commands.

As a result, we managed to totally surprise an enemy team in the next settlement. The opponent had just loaded up on top gear and had become careless. We cornered them with a flanking attack and took them out with precisely directed shots. The US Marines couldn’t have done it better! I was incredibly proud of my performance and our team!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – With military precision to chicken dinner

PUBG 04

Although we weren’t the winners in that round, in the next session we held nothing back! As usual, we proceeded with the precision and ruthlessness of a commando unit and methodically took out all enemies.

PUBG 02

In the end, only 8 players were left: our squad and a complete enemy team. A dream finale! The enemies were hiding in a dilapidated shack in the valley, while we had occupied the nearby hill. Shots kept hitting us, but we had spread out wisely and could cover every window of the house. The enemy, on the other hand, had to reveal himself every time he wanted to shoot back. So he was always a good target for one of us.

And we had precise weapons with scopes! Thanks to my 8x zoom, I could effectively cover the upper floors, and once the enemy got too bold. A salvo later, there were only 7 players left. The rest was shortly thereafter closed in by the energy field, had to flee from the house, and we shot them down like startled chickens!

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Jürgen’s conclusion on squad mode

With a team, especially one that works effectively and precisely together, the experience in PUBG is completely different. In solo mode, you live in constant paranoia. You are entirely on your own and face up to 99 enemies who can be lurking everywhere. In squad mode, you are usually safe.

PUBG 10

Your teammates are ideally always there and cover your back. You can coordinate in battle, and if you do take a bullet, there’s hope that you might be revived.

However, the big loot buffet in squad mode is much sparser, especially at the beginning, and you need to communicate well about who gets which weapon and gear. Ammunition can quickly become scarce.

But the most fun in squad mode comes with a well-coordinated team. My experience with those teammates is likely to remain my PUBG highlight for a long time. So anyone who hasn’t tried squad mode yet: Do it! It’s worth it!

Destiny 2: The Raid is Coming – How to Quickly Increase Your Power Level

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 5 minutes

And the power level for the raid is already known: Your power level should be between 260 and 280. Ideally, you want to get as close to 280 as possible, as the final boss will very likely be at this level.

destiny-atheon-gläserne-kammer
Atheon – the final boss of the first raid of Destiny 1

A Guardian with a power level of 260 will therefore deal 60% less damage to the final boss according to previous Destiny mathematics. This is no longer a question of “skill” – here you have no chance. To have a realistic chance in the raid, your power level should be at least 270 – with the prospect of higher drops in the raid itself.

And here’s how to get there!

Up to 260 and beyond: Farming and Grinding

The power level of found equipment is based on the level you are currently at. Blue gear ranges between a few levels below and above your current power level. This way, you can achieve a power level of 260 with any activity.

Legendary equipment that you receive through legendary engrams and leveling up planetary factions always drops a few power levels above your current value – up to the cap of 265.

Note: Once you have over 270 power, blue and legendary items can also drop with higher power levels.

How to get tokens: Public heroic events

The fastest way to get tokens (the currency for leveling factions) is by completing heroic public events. These usually grant you two blue engrams, one token, and some glimmer.

The best place to participate in the events is Titan, as the area is small with numerous enemy spawns. While waiting for events, you can collect loot chests and finish patrol missions.

destiny_2_edz_public_event_04
A public event in the EDC

Additionally, only two public events can take place on Titan – the Fallen Walker and the Witch ritual. Both events make it very easy to trigger the heroic mode.

To increase your yield, you should use a fireteam medallion, as this grants better loot quality and more experience for you and your fireteam. You can obtain a medallion from Tess Everis in the Eververse after completing the campaign. You can buy more for 50 glimmer. Whenever you receive a glimmer engram, you can dismantle the loot to gain glimmer.

You can even find exotic engrams in public events, which always provide a boost to your current power level.

The next step: Weekly activities and exotic quests

Once you reach a point where you can no longer progress conventionally (around 265-270), there are these four weekly activities:

The power level of these activities is based on your current gear and will drop above that. Anyone who does these activities before the power level threshold of 265, “wastes” valuable points – as these rewards are only given weekly.

If you turn in the mentioned events only at power level 265, you will most likely reach 270-275, which is a good base for the raid start.

Even if you don’t like playing with others – join a clan. The Destiny community is passionate and helpful – the rewards are also noticeable! There are plenty of ways to find clans. Various forums and groups are available on Bungie.net, Facebook, or Reddit, to name just a few.

Also play the Crucible milestone! You can do quick matches and have fun. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose (for the quest, not for the ego).

The exotic quests

After completing the campaign, you can find three exotic weapons that are all above your current level and provide a nice boost:

These quests are not necessarily difficult – but they do require some grinding at times. For details on how to get the weapons, just follow the provided links.

For a little power boost in between: The mod components

Mods can be integrated into equipment and provide various bonuses. Among other things, there are legendary mods that can increase the power level of weapons and armor by 5 points.

Keep in mind that these are a proven means to further raise your power level. How exactly the mods and infusing work has already been presented.

With the proposed strategies, you should be able to enter the raid on 09/13 directly. The raids of Destiny are the ultimate challenge, the highlights. Don’t miss them!

Have you already assembled your raid fireteam? Let us know in the comments!

The Leviathan raid of Destiny 2 starts on 09/13 at 7 PM. To succeed, you should aim for a power level of around 270. Time is short – let’s get started!

Update: The raid has been completed! Here you can find our guide to the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2.

For many players, the raid represents the “blind date experience” that highlights the first week of Destiny 2. It is now known that you should have at least between 260 and 280 power level to tackle the raid.

To reach the required power level, you need to keep a few things in mind. We’ll give you an overview of the activities that you can tackle now, before the raid starts.

The recommended power level for activities in Destiny

Every activity in Destiny 2 has a recommendation for your power level which you should take seriously. Because it is more than just a well-intended piece of advice.

In Destiny 1, each light point below the recommendation cost you 3% damage. If you wanted to challenge a boss at light level 300 while your own level was at 285, you dealt 45% less damage.

Power levels in Destiny 2 work similarly. Whether the numbers are completely identical still needs to be investigated further. The fact is: You will deal little damage if you are significantly below the recommended power level.

And the power level for the raid is already known: Your power level should be between 260 and 280. Ideally, you want to get as close to 280 as possible, as the final boss will very likely be at this level.

Star Citizen: Mit 3.0 so langsam auf dem Stand eines Early Access

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

Star Citizen is a huge gaming project. Many fans are eagerly awaiting the release. To this, Cloud Imperium Games founder Chris Roberts has now commented.

Parts of Star Citizen have been playable for a long time, but it is not really a game yet. However, according to Chris Roberts, that is supposed to change soon. According to an interview with Eurogamer, he sees the Alpha 3.0 planned for this fall as something like an early access version. Alpha 3.0 is supposed to bring many of the basic systems together for the first time, creating a game. This also includes persistence.

Star-Citizen-Squadron

Alpha 3.0 is basically the early access version

Alpha 3.0 allows for the first time that your status in the game world is retained. So if you log out of the game after a fight, your ship is still damaged when you continue playing. Items that you deposited somewhere can be found again there. This is a major step for Star Citizen towards MMO.

The AI in Alpha 3.0 will not yet have the level that the developers desire, and in terms of missions, players are still presented with relatively simple tasks. Procedural pirate chases, item deliveries, and missions where you have to identify bodies on a spaceship. Additionally, an initial version of the trading system is integrated.

star-marine-star-citizen

From then on, new content will be continuously introduced. It will be possible, for example, from version 3.1 onwards, to purchase ships, engage in mining, repair items, and expand infrastructure within the game.

Game development has changed

Chris Roberts also explains that he is breaking away from how games were developed in the past. Previously, development would take place in a quiet room and then the game would be released. This is no longer the case today. Players can be involved from the beginning and influence the development.

Even when the game reaches a state where everything that was intended is included, development continues. Patches and updates will follow, along with new content and improvements. However, he is also aware that not everyone is in favor of this new development process.

Game development is unpredictable

To his critics, he says that games have always been delayed. Even large publishers like EA or Ubisoft announce games and do not adhere to the release date, but postpone it repeatedly. Additionally, some games are simply canceled during development. This is just how the games business is – unforeseen things happen.

With Star Citizen, players experience this earlier because they are not involved in the development process of other titles.

Star Citizen

Moreover, according to Roberts, most fans of Star Citizen are happy. He sees the numbers. The numbers of those who are actively playing and those who post in the forum. Of course, there are also critics and those who shout the loudest, but that is always only an extremely small fraction. Most are satisfied and simply do not express themselves.

As for crowdfunding, he does not want to dictate to anyone how much money they should spend. For many, it has simply become a hobby to support the game. All the money raised goes into the game. The company is currently not making a profit, according to Roberts.

New Relics: The Netherlight Crucible.

With the 22nd quest of the series, “A Gift of Shadows”, players finally gain access to the Netherlight Crucible in the body of the Vindikaar, which was mentioned at the beginning of the patch with the first part of the quest. What exactly the Netherlight Crucible does can be read in our related article.

In addition to the relics that players can now create, the artifact knowledge also increases by one level to 43. As a result, the artifact power gained per item increases by 27,040,000%.

WoW Netherlight Crucible

Class Balance Changes

In addition to the announced changes, which have already been known through the roadmap, Blizzard also changes the damage of ten specializations. Many players can therefore look forward to a small damage boost:

World of Warcraft Legenary Guide Rogue Flex Transmog
  • Frost Death Knight +4%
  • Destruction Demon Hunter +3%
  • Feral Druid +2%
  • Beast Mastery Hunter +6%
  • Survival Hunter +5%
  • Windwalker Monk +9%
  • Assassination Rogue +5%
  • Outlaw Rogue +6%
  • Subtlety Rogue +1.5%
  • Enhancement Shaman +3%

The Antorus raid and the associated features will arrive at a later, yet unspecified time. However, it will likely take several months before players can finally face Argus, the Unmaker.

What do you think about the idea that both the new and old raids should be available as “Mythic Raid+”?

Hearthstone: Seuchenherd war die beliebteste Karte – deshalb der Nerf!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Not all players understand the upcoming Hearthstone nerfs. The developers explain again exactly why the changes make sense from their perspective.

The nerf of Plague Maw was generally well received in the Hearthstone community. However, not all players understand exactly why Plague Maw is being nerfed in the way it is now.

The Druid spell for 5 mana summons as many 1/5 minions with taunt until you have as many minions as your opponent. After the nerf, the mana cost increases to 6, allowing the spell to be played later, but the effect remains unchanged.

Hearthstone Nerf Plague Maw

Many players would have liked the spell to summon weaker minions – such as 1/4 minions, which would be vulnerable to a Fireball, for example.

Plague Maw: Too much power for round 5

Blizzard, however, decided against it for a simple reason: other cards. There are also other cards that summon the 1/5 minions, and these should remain consistent with each other. Therefore, raising the mana cost seemed to be the best option.

Hearthstone Innervate Druid artwork

In an interview with IGN, Dean Ayala from Blizzard explained that they love when crazy things happen in Hearthstone. However, it would be too early for round 5 to play a card that gives you 30 or even 35 health points in taunt on the board. By increasing the mana cost, they retain the “fantastic” effect and fun of the card while also resolving the issue that it comes into play too early.

Furthermore, Plague Maw was the most popular Druid card in recent weeks. It was present twice in almost every deck. Whenever there is no alternative for a card, the developers feel compelled to intervene.

Especially in combination with the nerf to Innervate, Druids will now find it a bit harder against rush decks. Many of the other major combos may now be a thing of the past.

Hearthstone is also saying goodbye to forced synergies!

Destiny 2 Raid: Release, Start time, Power Level – Info about the Leviathan Raid

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

The Leviathan raid in Destiny 2 is coming! When is the release, at what time does it start? What power level does the raid have? Get ready for the raid!

Update: The raid has been cracked! Here you can find our guide to the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2.

The first raid in Destiny was the Glass Chamber – a PvE group activity, with boss enemies, jumping passages, loot, and numerous secrets waiting. For many Guardians, this raid still stands as the best content Destiny has produced in three years.

The Leviathan raid will now be the first raid in Destiny 2 and many players expect no less from it than from the Glass Chamber: It should captivate Guardians for hours and days, it should drop delicious loot and be just as mysterious, motivating Guardians to turn over every stone and uncover every secret within it.

destiny-2-raid-symbol

But when does it actually start? Because in the days following the launch of Destiny 2, the raid is not yet active. It must first be unlocked by Bungie.

When does the raid start in Destiny 2?

The raid, the largest and most difficult PvE activity for a fireteam of 6 players, begins one week after the launch of Destiny 2:

  • Raid start: September 13 at 7 PM (Wednesday)

Raids in Destiny usually take hours to master. Therefore, starting at 7 PM, it’s best not to plan anything else – because the raid run will take time. All bosses need to be defeated, and all puzzles solved.

destiny-2-raid

By the way: The raid opens only one week after the launch of Destiny 2, so you have time to prepare for the launch. A high power level is required.

Raid in Destiny 2 – Matchmaking and Power Level?

How high the required power level will be is still unknown. According to Luke Smith, the raid has a power between 260 and 280. So, you should use the time until Wednesday to boost your power level if you want to be there right at the raid start.

There will be no matchmaking for the raid. You need to form a fireteam of up to 6 players yourself. Presumably, some mechanics will require 6 players, so you should not attempt the raid with fewer Guardians.

The Guided Games for the raid will start on September 26. This means solo players will have to find a fireteam elsewhere if they want to sneak into the raid this week.

But – what can we expect in this raid?

destiny 2 raids

Note: Possible spoilers and speculations ahead!

The Arrival of the World Eater – and Calus

Many Guardians have already completed the quest “On the Comms” – in which the next quest step is to expect the arrival of the World Eater. This quest sends you to Nessus. There, you must collect communication codices of the Cabal. These give you the hint that something is approaching – a World Eater.

There is hardly any doubt that the World Eater refers to the Leviathan raid. That the raid is called “Leviathan” is evident from the trophy list of Destiny 2.

leviathan-destiny2

In concept art and in a vision at the beginning of the Destiny 2 campaign, a huge, fish-like structure with a wide-open mouth can be seen:

This thing was already discovered during the beta through a glitch on Nessus (On the Comms also sends you to Nessus):

destiny-fish

This is where the raid is likely to take place, as indicated by the following symbol, which is on the raid trophy and on a sweatshirt of game director Luke Smith and is, with a bit of imagination, formed by the huge “Leviathan”:

destiny-2-symbol

And against whom do we fight in this Leviathan? There is already a possible answer to this. The “Destiny 2 Collector’s Edition” includes a book of the Cabal, an “open invitation” from Emperor Calus. Calus was overthrown by Ghaul, betrayed by many friends and even family members and banished into exile. And this exile is said to be within a huge Leviathan, according to the book.

Calus lists all sorts of traitors that he claims to have killed. Could these be the enemies in the raid? You can find all information about these traitors here: Destiny 2: Cabal Secrets – Only buyers of the Collector’s Edition know this!

More information about the raid:

  • There will be a “brand new” penalty if you die in the raid. What this looks like is not known. This aims to solve the problem that players can only watch if they die (this was the case in the hard mode of Destiny 1).
  • The new raid is said to be “a place that feels real,” according to Luke Smith. Players should believe that it could be real.
  • The trophy list shows: There seems to be a difficulty called “Prestige” in the raid. This is probably the highest difficulty level.
  • In October, new tasks will come in the raid – likely raid challenges.

Power Level of the 1st Raids in Destiny 2 is known

Update 11.9. 22:55: As recently reported by the game director, the first raid of Destiny will have a power level of 260-280.

The Nightfall Strike is one of the toughest activities in Destiny 2. Only Guardians with a high Power Level are able to successfully complete it. The requirement is 230 Power, the recommended level is 240 – however, you should be above 260 before attempting the “Nightfall”.

On the one hand, it is easier to master then, and on the other hand, the “Powerful Gear” is worth it, which you can only earn weekly. Because the Nightfall is one of the weekly activities, whose loot is limited but among the best.

In the launch week of Destiny 2, the Strike “The Arms Dealer” is the Nightfall. In it, you need to eliminate the Cabal boss “Bracus Zahn”. While many Guardians are currently struggling to reach high Power Levels with this activity – and in a fireteam of three players – YouTuber Esoterickk is now showing how “easily” one can complete the Nightfall Strike solo.

With the Fist of Chaos into Death – and to Victory

Esoterickk is no stranger in the Guardian community. Back in Destiny 1, he repeatedly made waves with solo runs. In Destiny 2, this solo Nightfall is his biggest achievement so far.

This is his Guardian loadout:

  • Striker Titan with Pulse Grenade and the top skill tree (with Shoulder Charge “Seismic Strike”)
  • Kinetic Weapon: Nameless Midnight (Scout Rifle)
  • Energy Weapon: Skyburner’s Oath (Exotic Scout Rifle)
  • Power Weapon: Curtain Call – Rocket Launcher
  • He also has the exotic leg armor Dunemarchers
  • Power Level 295, Mobility 2, Resilience 5, Recovery 5
    Dunemarchers 2

He states that it was quite a challenge. The most difficult part was the end of the boss fight, which is why he decided to swiftly take down Bracus Zahn, throw a Pulse Grenade at him, and hit him with Fists of Chaos. While Esoterickk did die himself, so did the boss, allowing him to successfully complete the Nightfall Strike.

That he is not doing this Strike for the first time is apparent within moments. He purposefully completes the objectives and positions himself skillfully with the Titan Barricade. According to his own account, it took him 5-6 hours until this run succeeded.

By the way: The Nightfall Strike was completed on “Normal”. There is also the “Prestige” difficulty – for which the recommended Power is 300. It’s only a matter of time until Esoterickk attempts this solo.

The raid is starting soon as a new challenge in Destiny 2. All information can be found in the link.

Dense fog in PUBG – Limited visibility as a challenge?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

Before your next chicken dinner, you should check the weather report. The forecasts announce fog in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds)  .

The different weather conditions in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will soon be supplemented by fog. Like a veil, the white wall lies on the map, swallowing trees in the distance.

With this limited visibility, playing in PUBG is a whole new challenge.

Fog in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

On Twitter, the PUBG account recently showed more screenshots, giving you an impression of the new weather. Last week, the feature was announced for the early-access shooter with an image.

PUBG Fog-4
PUBG Fog-3
PUBG Fog-2
PUBG Fog-1

Do we need fog in PUBG?

Changing weather conditions are an interesting feature that makes each battle a bit different. The dynamic weather was heavily promoted in Battlefield 1 and was well received by fans who found themselves in sudden sandstorms.

Other games like Ghost Recon Wildlands take you to deserts, snowy mountains, and wet jungles. Here too, the environment affects various factors like visibility or camouflage.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Coop

In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, dense fog can make it difficult for a sniper when he can only see targets that are just a few meters away from him.

Are you excited about the new weather conditions, or is this just a burden that makes playing more difficult for you?

Tomorrow there will be patch notes with a new weapon

As announced on Twitter, we should get the patch notes for the latest PUBG update tomorrow, on Tuesday, September 12th. But there is not only fog in the new patch. A new weapon has also been announced.

The “Mini-14” is a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) and will be available across the entire map, not just as an airplane drop. You can find a picture of the MK-14 in PUBG here.

Other important changes include leaderboards for FPP modes and many bug fixes. You will find the complete patch notes tomorrow on Mein-MMO.de.

Until then, you can point your finger at speed hackers and say “Ha Ha.” Because they quickly feel their cheater karma.

WoW: Transmog farming made easy – Old dungeons revised!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft secretly changed the loot rules. Transmog collectors are happy about this – at least to a large extent.

With the wardrobe and collections in World of Warcraft, many people have caught the collecting fever. After all, one wants to have the right transmog set for every occasion so that their character always looks the part.

This has led many players to revisit old instances to snag that one fancy robe or the stylish plate bikini.

With Patch 7.3, Blizzard changed the loot rules in the “old” dungeons – those in levels 1-60, the “Classic” areas. These now also follow the rules of “personal loot” – but with a big change: Every boss always drops wearable loot when you’re playing solo.

WoW Corpses Scarlet
A feast for collectors – transmog farming is now much easier.

In plain terms, this means that every boss will always leave behind an item that can be used by the character and thus also goes into the wardrobe (except for rings and necklaces).

Old drop chances now irrelevant?

This also renders the drop probabilities for many items pointless. For example, if a cloth robe used to drop with a 7% chance, but now it is the only wearable item in the boss’s loot list, you will guaranteed get the robe.

However, there are already some players who are dissatisfied with these changes. Because anyone, for instance, looking for a cloak’s appearance that only has agility or strength will never see that cloak drop. A warrior looking for the skin of a paladin armor with intelligence will probably have to forget about it. Here, only second characters can help, with which the instances can be tackled again.

This change does not affect the random loot from trash mobs in the instances. Here, “green items” can still drop in masses as before, regardless of the armor class.

WoW Aurius Rivendare Loot

Whether this whole thing is just a bug or intentional is still not entirely certain. However, it is noticeable that this works only in the old instances and not in “The Burning Crusade” and beyond – where loot drops as usual. It seems like a confidential test run to gather reactions and data.

Cortyn says: While my collector’s heart is thrilled by the change, it significantly diminishes my ambition. I was quite proud of finally snagging the robes of reverence or other fancy items after countless instance visits. That they now occur more frequently somewhat diminishes that effort. But it remains to be seen what Blizzard will do with it in the future.

What do you think about these new loot rules? A great thing or thoughtless?

Should raids also get a “Mythic+” mode? We asked ourselves this in this article.

ArcheAge: Huh, no errors at all? The server merge went surprisingly smoothly

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The sandbox MMO ArcheAge is notorious for spreading all kinds of bugs and frustration during new server launches and mergers. But this time, everything went surprisingly smoothly.

ArcheAge erenor update 01

ArcheAge has a long history full of annoyances. Hardly any server restart or merge has gone smoothly. There have always been serious issues. Sometimes many players couldn’t log in and missed the big land rush. Other times items were not correctly transferred, leaving players stranded in the new world.

ArcheAge: A fresh start without major issues

Due to these bad experiences, many players were understandably skeptical when the merging of six ArcheAge servers each in the USA and Europe into two new realms was announced. The populations of the original servers were supposed to completely move to the two new realms in each region or other unaffected servers.

ArcheAge Hot Tub

But the expected trouble was absent this time! Overall, everything actually went smoothly. There were a few cases of lost items, and while these issues were being resolved, housing was disabled. However, this bug was quickly fixed, and now the houses are back up, and players are happily at work.

ArcheAge – Only a few bugs

Only a few bugs are currently bothering the developers, such as falling guild ratings after inviting new members. Also unfortunate: Some players are unable to move when they are automatically kicked from the game due to being AFK for too long. But compared to the frustrations that have occurred in ArcheAge before, the current bugs and program errors are not serious problems.

Fan site for Everquest 2 closes, apparently it was too uncomfortable for the developers

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A fan site for Everquest 2, which has been around for over 9 years, is closing its doors. The reasons include atmospheric disruptions with the development studio Daybreak Games.

The site EQ2 Wire has been a fan site for the Free2Play MMORPG Everquest 2 (2004) for over 9 years. In a letter to fans, the site operator Feldon explains why it is coming to an end.

Rebel and Fan Site Operator

Apparently, he took issue with being seen as a “rebel” and “complainer” by the developer and publisher Daybreak. He says: “I have always put the players first, and that has cost me again and again the support that I would have otherwise received from the Everquest 2 team.”

At the last SOE Live, the Community Council jokingly referred to him as “the chief complainer” because he repeatedly asked uncomfortable questions.

Feldon says he has consistently pointed out problems and addressed issues over the 9 years. He has also presented updates and expansions, keeping players as informed as possible.

Fan Site Chief Prefers to Judge the Quality of BBQ

However, he is not closing the site just because the relationship with the developers has worsened, but also for other reasons:

  • He no longer plays Everquest 2 himself
  • And he has less time because he is doing a variety of other things that now bring him a lot of joy, such as growing tomatoes or being a referee at BBQ competitions.

Who can blame him?

Fans express their regret in comments on the site. There are now over 100 comments. They commend Feldon as a contentious fighter for the interests of the players. Many also criticize developer Daybreak: Apparently, a farewell post for Feldon was deleted in the official forum. This is not well received.

Everquest 2 is already a few years old. Older MMORPGs are often “threatened with extinction”:

Mods in Destiny 2: How to infuse yourself to a higher power level!

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

Mods or mod components can be equipped in Destiny 2 to provide you with useful benefits. However, since the mods can also affect the power level, confusion is inevitable. We shed light on the mods!

Up to a certain point, the leveling process in Destiny 2 is fairly straightforward. You can level up by engaging in various activities. If you are particularly aiming for the raid that starts on September 13, you have a fundamental interest in how the mods work in Destiny 2. Because the mods can help you progress further than your gear would normally allow.

The Power Level Bottleneck at 260

Until you reach power level 260, you should not have any trouble acquiring suitable gear. From this point, however, it becomes significantly more difficult to level up. This is where legendary gear mods come into play. The US site Kotaku has introduced a little trick that can help you move forward faster.

All exotic armors from Destiny 2 listed neatly!

It may happen that you come across a legendary or exotic loot piece that is significantly above your current power level. If you inspect this item, you can marvel at a mod, which raises the power level by a whopping 5 points:

destiny-2-mod-ausrüstung
An equipment mod with Power Level+5

Items with such a modification should be particularly monitored and maintained! If you raise the base level of such gear through infusing, they will get an extra power boost from their mod that will help you level up!

These mods exist for both armor and weapons. And here it starts to get tricky:

To know your total power level, you must factor in the mods. This also applies to any new gear you get and may want to infuse. We have already summarized details on infusing and its effects on your power level for you.

Mods as Power Level Boost

An example that illustrates the complexity of the mods:

You have two helmets. Both are at power level 268. However, one of the helmets has a mod that increases the power level by 5, so the base value is “only” 263. If you now infuse the helmet without the mod (268) into the helmet with the mod (263), you will receive a helmet with a power level of 273 (268 base value + mod).

You infused two helmets that appeared to have the same power level at first glance and gained five power levels.

destiny-2-raid

The mods will help you overcome the bottleneck at power levels 260-270. Therefore, always keep an eye out for this mod on your weapons and armor.

Once you reach power level 280, you can even craft these mods at Banshee-44, the gunsmith.

Have you already found legendary mods? Let us know in the comments!

ESO: Kaiserstadt-Jubiläum – Doppelt Loot im Imperial-City-DLC-Event!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In The Elder Scrolls Online marks the second anniversary of the DLC “Imperial City”. Therefore, there is double loot in the Imperial City for a limited time.

ESO Imperial City event 02

In The Elder Scrolls Online, two years ago the first major DLC pack called Imperial City was released. In a mix of PvP and PvE, you could fight alongside your alliance to gain access to the capital in the contested central province of Cyrodiil and hit the Daedra and their cultists.

To celebrate two years of Imperial City, there is especially much loot in the Imperial City for a limited time.

The Elder Scrolls Online – Imperial City – DLC at half price

Until September 18 at 4 PM our time, there are a lot of cool goodies in the Imperial City. Those who do not have the DLC yet can buy it separately for half price (1,250 crowns). The bundle with additional goodies (including a mount and XP scrolls) is 40 percent cheaper at 3,300 crowns. Those with an ESO Plus subscription can also join in.

Additionally, there are the following anniversary goodies that you will receive for activities in the Imperial City:

  • Double the Tel Var Stones from all NPCs
  • Double chance for the Stonefire Scamp and the Soul Burden appearance
  • Double chance for key fragments, especially in the dungeons
  • Double chance for bags from Greed and Trickster Scamps

Due to the event, the usually sparsely populated Imperial City is suddenly full of players. This is great for fans of the PvP-PvE gameplay there. Less great for many players who do not usually go there and are more interested in PvE, as they are often and happily ganked by PvP players.

Many players on Reddit are reporting that the feared “Bomb-Blade” builds are hitting hard right now. Other players are complaining that even with the increased chances, they are still barely getting the rare drops like the Stonefire Scamp or the Soul Burden skin.

Pokémon GO: Buying safari tickets excluded – CentrO warns trainers

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Be careful when tickets for the Safari event in Oberhausen are offered to you for sale. Purchased tickets from other players will not grant you access to the Pokémon GO event at CentrO Oberhausen.

In just a few days, the Pokémon GO Safari event starts at CentrO Oberhausen. Anyone wishing to participate in this special event within the shopping center needs a ticket.

The shopping center is now warning about players wanting to sell their tickets. No transfer or resale is allowed. You cannot participate in the event with tickets purchased from other players.

Safari in Centro – Buying tickets is a waste of money

On September 16, 2017, a Pokémon GO Safari event will take place at the “CentrO” shopping center in Oberhausen. Participants of the event will have access to special PokéStops equipped with lure modules in CentrO.

Rare Pokémon like Kangaskhan or Unown are waiting for you there. Additionally, there are special 2km eggs.

Pokémon GO Unibail Title

All players need a ticket for the event if they want to participate in the Safari Zone. Initially, 4000 tickets were distributed. During the distribution, many players felt unfairly treated and expressed their anger with insults online.

Meanwhile, the situation has calmed down a bit. This is certainly also related to the 250 tickets that CentrO made available in a special raffle.

Organizer advises against purchasing tickets – No access granted

The limited availability of tickets attracts many people looking to profit from them. But don’t fall for the ticket sellers, because you won’t get access to the event.

On Facebook, CentrO writes that the transfer of tickets is not possible. And because such transfers are not allowed, you gain nothing from a purchase. The tickets are personalized and cannot be redeemed by other individuals.

Some trainers report in the comments that they will travel to Oberhausen even without a ticket. Even without a ticket, there is a chance at rare Pokémon. While you probably won’t receive a medal or special 2km eggs, many trainers are willing to make the journey for rare monsters in their collection.

The raid eggs with countdown are back – This has resulted in mixed reactions among Pokémon GO players. Many see only disadvantages.

Das Skill-System von Crowfall will, dass Ihr Eure Zeit managt

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

In the upcoming PvP MMORPG Crowfall, you can improve your hero through skills, like in other role-playing games. The developers have now explained how this works. It primarily revolves around time.

The entire system is roughly based on three spheres: Class, Race, and Profession. In these three areas, there are corresponding skill trees with individual abilities.

Crowfall Skill UI

Training Skills Takes Time

Skill trees are expanded over time based on certain prerequisites. This means that you gradually unlock new abilities. Therefore, it is not possible to train every skill directly from the start. 

  • To improve a skill, select the skill that you want to increase.
  • Over time, this skill will then train automatically. Once the training time has elapsed, the ability will increase in rank. Then, you select another skill that should be trained.
  • If the training would be completed while you are offline, the rank of the skill will not automatically continue to increase. In this case, the training time will go into what are called “Time Banks.”
  • The time stored in these Time Banks is then used when you are back in the game and improves your abilities. However, you cannot freely use this training time for every skill.  “Time Banks” only apply to the selected skill tree during training. Thus, time you accumulated, for example, in the combat tree cannot be used for the specific knight abilities, as they are in a different skill tree.

Collect Time in the “Time Bank”

The idea of the Time Banks is that “no time is lost” – just because a player is currently offline. The Time Banks serve as a buffer to save some time so that it does not “go unused.” Non-VIP players can accumulate up to 24 hours of time, while VIP players can accumulate up to 30 days.

Crowfall Alpha1

An example: You want to improve your skill “Leather Armor” from rank 2 to rank 3. You select this skill, and the training automatically progresses over time. If you go offline, the training time goes into the “Time Bank” and does not continue in the skill. When you log back into the game a few hours later, you will see that you have accumulated several hundred minutes of training time. You then use this time in the corresponding skill tree. This way, you not only improve your leather armor ability from rank 2 to rank 3 but might even raise it to rank 4.

The time you were offline has therefore not been lost. It has been saved and can be used in the skill tree to further improve abilities.

Transferring Training Time to Other Skills

At a later point, the developers want to introduce so-called “Skill Tomes.” These books allow you to use time in the “Time Bank” for skills from other skill trees as well. So, if you have collected hundreds of minutes in combat skills but want to use them for another skill tree, you can transfer these minutes from the “Time Bank” into the skill tome. In the skill tome, you then select the skill you would like to improve and transfer the training time to it.

However, this process costs a certain percentage of the accumulated time. The costs depend on the level of the skill rank you want to train. You cannot transfer all collected time to another skill. The skill tome is destroyed after the transfer. Furthermore, there are specific restrictions for these systems that are a bit more relaxed for “VIP” players, or premium players, than for others.

Phew, quite complicated everything. What do you think about this skill system of the MMORPG Crowfall?

Destiny 2: Dämmerlicht-Bruchstücke – So findet Ihr sie

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 you can find planetary resources like the “Dawnlight Shards.” Can these be farmed efficiently and what do they actually bring? We have the answers!

Destiny veterans will remember that in Destiny 1 there were items like “Ghost Flowers” or “Helium Filaments.” These were special resources that could only be collected on certain planets.

Destiny 2 also has planetary resources that vary by location. For example, in the EDZ there are Dawnlight Shards that you need to farm on specific days to complete challenges.

But what can you actually do with them?

You need Dawnlight Shards for this

Planetary resources are not only needed to complete challenges but also generate reputation with the vendors in the worlds. Devrim Kay, the representative in the EDZ, wants the Dawnlight Shards. The planetary materials yield slightly less reputation than the tokens.

destiny_2_edz_Devrim_Kay_

You can obtain the luminous materials (see our title image) in two different rarity levels: green and blue. The blue (rare) Dawnlight Shards yield more reputation.

How to farm Dawnlight Shards

Travel to the EDZ, specifically to the starting area (The Trostland). Now run northeast to the “Mävik Platz.” Search the entire area until you can no longer find any Dawnlight Shards. Then return to the Trostland. Since you change the area, the planetary resources are reset. At the “Mävik Platz,” you can now harvest Dawnlight Shards again.

This “farming method” can be repeated infinitely. This way you can quickly get the items.

The first “Loot Cave” has been discovered. This is how it works!

Robert says: Aside from the challenges where you need to specifically farm the materials, searching for the planetary items is not worth the effort. Boxes with tokens that yield more reputation, can also be shown from afar using an item from Cayde-6. This does not apply to planetary resources; these have to be painstakingly searched.

Atlas Reactor: Neuer 1vs1 Modus – Nie mehr nervige Mitspieler!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The tactical turn-based strategy arena game Atlas Reactor is getting a new game mode. In “Fourlancer”, you control your whole team by yourself. There is also a new hero: The killer squirrel Isadora!

atlas reactor Isadora

Atlas Reactor is a fun arena action game where you take turns executing your actions with three teammates, defeating your opponents through tactics and foresight. However, this only works with good teamwork. If everyone does what they want, everything can quickly go wrong, leading to great frustration.

Therefore, the developers have now introduced a new game mode in which you control your entire team all by yourself.

Atlas Reactor: No longer fail due to incompetent teammates!

Atlas-Reactor-Juno-Anchor

The new game mode is called “Fourlancer” and in it, you compete alone against a single enemy. However, you don’t control just one hero on the team, but all four. This allows you to plan your moves and synergy effects much better than if you were relying on your teammates.

To make sure everything works, you get a larger time limit for each turn in the Fourlancer mode. However, it is quite difficult to plan the actions of four heroes by yourself. If you are not a good multitasker, you should probably stick to the old 4vs4 modes and build a well-coordinated team.

Atlas Reactor: New heroine Isadora – The immortal killer squirrel!

Along with the new game mode, Atlas Reactor is getting a new freelancer (that’s what the heroes are called in the game). This time, there is a cute squirrel creature named Isadora, which rolls around like a hamster in a kind of ball. As long as the ball – a shield – is intact, Isadora is a strong tank.

https://youtu.be/ULY8_GaC79M

If the shield collapses, Isadora is easy to kill due to her low health points – she is a squirrel! – but she receives a hefty damage boost. So be careful that your seemingly easy prey doesn’t bite you in the butt!
