Argus Dealer WoW – Eye Collector Orix wants Intact Demon Eyes

A demon on Argus sells cool stuff in World of Warcraft – in exchange for intact demon eyes. We will tell you how to collect them here.

The new areas in Argus are packed with hidden enemies and little secrets. Among them is a vendor named Orix, the Eye Collector. As his name suggests, he has quite a fetish for demon eyes and exchanges them for various useful or silly items.

Collecting Demon Eyes

The intact demon eyes can only be collected in the Antoran Wastes and only if players have a special buff. But where do you get this buff?

At multiple locations in the Antoran Wastes, the shrines of Orix can appear, which remain for a few minutes after being clicked by a player.

WoW Orix Maps Shrines
Positions of already known shrines and Orix’s location.

Activating a shrine inflicts damage equal to 90% of your maximum health – so use it only when you are at full health and not in combat.

The buff lasts for 60 minutes and gives you a chance to collect intact demon eyes from demons in the Antoran Wastes. At the same time, your damage taken is increased by 100% – so be careful! The drop rate of the eyes is not very reliable. It can happen that a single demon drops 9 eyes, while you may kill 20 demons without seeing a single eye.

WoW Orix All Seers Focus
This is what a shrine looks like – currently, it seems there’s always a shrine next to Orix.

Important: As long as you have the buff, you are effectively transformed into a Man’ari Eredar of the Burning Legion. This means that the normally friendly factions, such as the Army of the Light, will attack you on sight. So do not ride through friendly camps “as usual” – they will kill you and remove the buff. Leaving the zone – for example, using a hearthstone – ends the transformation prematurely.

What can you get for intact demon eyes?

WoW Orix Inventory

Once you’ve collected enough demon eyes, you can return to Orix. He is hiding in a cave under the bridge at the coordinates 59, 45 in the Antoran Wastes. Currently, it seems there’s always a shrine next to Orix – although this could be a bug. Click on it to examine his inventory. He sells the following items for eyes.

  • Elixir of the All-Seer x5 – 25 intact demon eyes: With the elixir, you can renew the buff to continue collecting eyes. This eliminates the need to search for a shrine!
  • Crushed Demon Eyes x20 – 50 intact demon eyes: This item can be thrown at other players to temporarily color them fel green. Just in case you really dislike someone.
  • Gift of the All-Seer – 200 intact demon eyes: The Gift of the All-Seer works like the Elixir of the All-Seer and renews the buff that allows you to collect eyes. However, this item is never consumed!
  • Observer’s Resonator – 500 intact demon eyes: This item creates a portal that brings all allies in your group to the rare mob Rezira the Seer, who can drop a special toy. The resonator is not consumed upon use.
  • Squint Eye – 1000 intact demon eyes: A battle pet.
  • Eye of the All-Seer – 1000 intact demon eyes: A toy that allows you to target another character as a priest with “Mind Vision” and observe them. There’s also an extra button that lets you whisper demonic words to that player for one minute. However, it has a cooldown of 30 minutes.

This whole thing is reminiscent of the “White Bones” that you could farm back on the Isle of Giants. Unlike the Pandaria variant, however, the intact eyes are soulbound – they cannot be sold on the auction house.

Paladins OB58: VIP-Store & Grafik-Update kommen – Patch-Notes

The new patch OB 58 introduces the VIP store in Paladins (PC, PS4, Xbox), a system where players can purchase VIP packs and earn exclusive skins like Raeve Maeve through gameplay.

The biggest innovation in Paladins’ new update is the VIP store. Patch OB58 introduces the new VIP system and a fourth currency. Players will have the opportunity to earn VIP points while playing. The points can be spent in the VIP store for exclusive skins and other cosmetic items.

Paladins receives the VIP system in OB 58 – Here’s how it works

The new VIP system is designed to give players a chance to financially support the “Free to Play” shooter. In the VIP shop, there are exclusive cosmetic items like skins or voice packs. These can be unlocked with VIP points earned during gameplay. Players earn VIP points for winning or losing matches.

Here’s how the VIP system is structured:

  • Players can purchase the VIP pack. It costs 14.99 USD and already includes the first exclusive skin, VIP points, bonuses, chests, and 5x a 14-day VIP membership.
  • Alternatively, one can acquire a VIP membership. 14-day VIP memberships cost 200 crystals. The membership also acts as a booster for the VIP pack. Players receive bonuses on their VIP points and more chests.
  • Then there is a VIP points bundle. It costs 70 crystals and grants 10,000 VIP points.
 In the following article, you will learn everything about Paladins’ VIP system: VIP program explained in detail – This is how Paladins VIP program works and its costs.
 
 Raeve Maeve is the first legendary skin in the VIP store:
Paladins Raeve Maeve

Better performance: Graphics engine receives update – DirectX 11 Beta coming

Paladins is getting a graphical update that should improve performance in the future. The MOBA shooter is receiving DirectX 11 – a collection of programming interfaces designed to optimize fast graphics and audio operations. These optimizations should make the game run smoother.

However, the program is first going into beta. Players can voluntarily participate and test the new system.

  • DirectX 11 enhances CPU and GPU performance
  • To participate in the DirectX 11 Beta: Go to Settings -> Video Options -> check D2D11 (BETA) -> restart the game. To exit the BETA, simply uncheck D2D11 (BETA).
  • Performance will be improved by DirectX 11, but it may result in higher memory usage. This will be addressed in the beta before the release.
Paladins Skye Kunoichi

Bug fixes & general adjustments in Update OB58

The new patch makes general function adjustments and fixes bugs for Paladins. This applies to the interface and gameplay:

  • The preparation phase is now in third-person: Before each match, players have time to prepare and choose their cards. This will now happen in third person, meaning players can see their character from the outside.
  • Players receive 15 seconds more time in competitive to choose their champ.
  • Players who mute another player also mute the VGS for that player (No “Need Healing!!” spamming anymore!)
  • The feedback for damage and healing has been improved: Players will be able to see damage or healing received more clearly in the future. Now there is also feedback when healing was reduced, as the color of the healed numbers changes.
  • Especially the new champ Strix has received bug fixes.  For instance, the consumption of stealth is now displayed correctly, and Chronos functions normally on him.
  • Bug fix for Mal’Damba: Sometimes Mal’Damba’s healing would stop. This is now corrected.

Champion adjustments OB58: New look for Barik – First nerf for Strix

The new champ Strix has caused some excitement because his distributed damage was too high and he could stay in stealth mode for too long.

Visually, Barik seemed outdated from Studio Hi-Rez and is thus receiving a graphical update in OB58:

Paladins Barik Neu
  • Strix receives a nerf: Strix is new to Paladins and has entered the MOBA shooter a bit too strong. The damage of the sniper has been reduced from 1300 to 1200. The energy costs for stealth have been increased by 65%. Stealth energy recharge has been reduced by 20%. The maximum energy level required to use stealth has been increased by 33%.
  • Jenos receives a nerf: Jenos’ healing was too strong for the developers. Healing is reduced from 15% of maximum health to 10% of maximum health.
  • Maeve’s daggers are thrown faster: The time between dagger throws has been reduced from 0.1 to 0.05. Projectile size has increased by 16%. Projectile speed has increased from 260 to 400. Projectile gravity has increased by 33%.
  • Ruckus’ projectile speed has been increased from 300 to 400.

Several other champions have received minor adjustments as well. You can find those in our source reference.

New skins for Jenos, Cassie, & Lex – The Brazil chest is coming

The Brazil chest costs 40 crystals and contains weapon skins for Drogoz, Kinessa, Skye, and Tyra. In addition to the weapons, there are skins for Cassie and Lex, which feature Brazil’s main colors green and yellow.

  • Brazil-Cassie and Brazil-Lex – In the Brazil chest for 40 crystals
Paladins Brasil Cassie Lex
  • Eclipse-Jenos – Rare skin with body and weapon
Paladins Jenos Eclipse

Exclusive VIP skins for Lian, Zhin, Fernando & Maeve in OB 58

These skins are only available in the VIP store and can be unlocked with the new currency VIP points. Points can be earned during gameplay or a points bundle can be unlocked using crystals.

These are the exclusive VIP skins:

  • Goddess-Lian (Epic) – For 30,000 VIP points in the VIP store
Paladins Lian Goddess
  • FN-01 Erebos Fernando (Epic) – For 30,000 VIP points in the VIP store
Paladins Helios Fernando
  • Conqueror Zhin – Automatically unlocked by purchasing the VIP pack
Paladins Zhin Conqueror
  • Raeve Maeve (Legendary) – For 60,000 VIP points in the VIP store

In this patch OB58, the VIP store is the biggest change. However, the upgrade to DirectX 11 is also worth noting. Paladins has often faced issues with stronger lags. Such an upgrade could significantly improve Paladins’ performance in the future.

You can find the full patch notes in our source reference.

With the new patch OB 58, it is expected to arrive on PC on Wednesday, September 6. However, it may also come on Thursday or Friday. The consoles PS4 and Xbox One usually follow 1-2 weeks later.

Hearthstone: So schlecht wie nie? – Druiden-Nerf kommt!

In Hearthstone the community is criticizing the Druid – and the developers agree with them. A nerf is coming soon.

Those who have checked in since the release of Knights of the Frozen Throne in Hearthstone will primarily confront one class: Druids. They dominate the game, appear in many different variants, and all of them are so powerful that one has to create a complete “counter deck” just to have a chance.

A small indication that the Druid is too strong? At the HCT Europe Summer Playoffs tournament, a total of 77 players competed against each other. Each of them had a Druid deck. And each one was banned by the opponent because it was too powerful.

Hearthstone Malfurion the Pestilent Art

This also led to the game being referred to by many as “Druidstone” or “Hearthyawn” – because matches against Druids are boring. Many pros therefore refer to it as the “worst state that Hearthstone has ever been in.”

But Druids are not the only problem. Knights of the Frozen Throne has brought forth a whole series of decks against which playing is simply no fun. For instance, if one of the popular Highlander Priest decks manages to summon an Obsidian Statue with Barnes on turn 3 and resurrect it with full stats on turn 4, most opponents can already throw in the towel because they cannot recover from it.

Druid Nerf? Hearthstone head has ideas

At least in terms of the Druid, Blizzard is now showing some understanding. On Twitter, the Game Director of Hearthstone, Ben Brode, reveals that they are “considering options” to change the Druid. Even though Brode doesn’t phrase it clearly, it seems primarily to be about a nerf to Spreading Plague or the Evil Plague.

They plan to talk more about it this week and explain what changes are intended.

Once there are concrete details about the nerfs, we will inform you.

Or in other words: Those who still want to complete their 500 victories with the Druid should take advantage of the last few days.

Are you still playing in ranked mode? Or is the green plague bothering you so much that you prefer to play Arena or only against friends?


What exactly makes the Druid a jack of all trades right now, we explain in this article.

AFK-Farmen in PUBG soll bald ein Ende haben

The AFK farmers in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are already on the developers’ radar. The team is now considering how to effectively deal with AFK farmers.

In recent weeks, AFK farmers in PUBG have been making headlines. Players enter a match and let the game play itself.

Jumping out of the plane, gliding to the ground with a parachute, letting themselves be killed, and then racking up in-game currency – all of this happens automatically.

However, this is apparently going to be addressed soon. The developers are already planning solutions to the problem.

Less BP for AFK Farmers?

The special Gamescom crates in PUBG attracted AFK farmers. Players log into a PUBG match automatically and are rewarded with in-game currency for doing nothing. They bought Gamescom crates, which they then resold for “real money” on the Steam market. However, this method is likely coming to an end soon.

In an interview with PC Gamer , Chang-Han Kim from the Bluehole development team stated that the developers are aware of the problems with AFK players. However, a specific solution has not yet been determined.

“Our team is working to determine exactly what is happening. We know that the number of AFK players is not particularly high. Nevertheless, we want to develop tools or systems to prevent players from just farming BP (Battle Points) and not participating in the match.”

“We could simply adjust the balance of the BP awarded after a match. On the other hand, we could also completely eliminate AFK playing. We have not yet decided in which direction we will go.”

PUBG title houses field

Creative Player Solutions for the AFK Problem in PUBG

Several solutions to this problem are already circulating in social networks from the community. Players suggest that the automatic parachute jump should be removed from the game. However, this would likely only delay the time until a player goes AFK.

An interesting solution is suggested by player “Jon”. He says “Just implement a Captcha check when you want to open the parachute.”

Entering a solution word could at least keep some bots out of the game. But it would probably also affect regular players who have trouble deciphering the word combinations. “Hey Schuhmann, how could you die so early? The round just started.” “Ahhh I can’t write the damn word!”

Another idea can be found on Reddit: “Click on all the images where you see chicken in this dinner.”

The last ideas should be taken with a good dose of humor. We are already curious to see what system the developers will adopt to fix this “problem”.

Destiny 2: Create Clan and Edit Clan Banner – The Clan System

Destiny 2 has a new clan system. How can you create a clan, join a clan, and edit the clan banner? All information about clans.

In Destiny 2, clans are significantly more important than in Destiny 1. They not only show the affiliation with other Guardians but also have their own progression system with rewards and exclusive bonuses.

However, to benefit from these clan innovations, you must first be in a clan. We will show you what you need to know about clans.

Creating and joining clans – How to join a clan

To create a clan, go to the official Bungie website and log in with your Bungie account. In the top bar, you will find the tab “Clan.” There, you can create a clan, search for clans, and later manage your clan.

Note: All of this also works through the Destiny 2 companion app.

When founding a clan, you will need to make some decisions that you can later adjust in “Settings”:

  • Clan Name
  • Callsign
  • Clan Motto
  • About Us: This is what players will see when they connect with your clan. Write what makes your clan unique.

What else can I set?

In the general settings, you decide on the clan join options, the clan language, and the level for membership or for guided games. You also determine what rights you want to grant the administrators.

In the settings, you can also manage invitations, kick members, promote or demote, and block players. You decide who is in your clan. You invite new members by searching for the player and sending them an invitation to the clan.

Designing the clan banner

destiny-2-clan-banner

In Destiny 2, you finally have your own clan banner that you can customize. For this, go on Bungie.net to “My Clan” and then on the left side to “Settings”. Here you will see a field with “Edit Banner”.

  • First, choose a banner emblem. Currently, there are 24 different emblems to choose from, and more may come in the future.
  • Then choose the foreground color and the background color of the emblem.
  • In “Banner Detail”, you will find several patterns that adorn the background of the banner.
  • In “Detail Color”, choose the color of these background patterns.
  • And for Banner Color, decide on the overall background of the banner – which is neither patterned nor emblazoned.
  • Now click on update banner, and you will have a customized banner. If you select “Random,” you will receive a randomly assigned banner.

You can adjust the banner at any time.

Collecting clan banners from Hawthorne and clan seasons

destiny-2-clan-banner-perks

Hawthorne is a new character in Destiny 2 who will be important for clans. Because there, you will receive an in-game clan banner that has unique perks.

These perks are unlocked together as a clan. As your clan reaches higher levels, new clan perks become active. These perks grant you, for example, more rewards during public events or more glimmer when looting engrams.

You can see your clan progress on the clan page on Bungie.net by going to the clan profile. There, you will see a bar with the clan level, which is reset every season. How long a season lasts is not known. Depending on your progress per season, there are rewards. You can read more about clan perks and seasons here.

destiny 2 clan season

By the way: You not only receive rewards when you reach a high clan level per season. Every member of a clan also receives rewards in the form of engrams when your clan masters endgame activities (like Nightfall strikes). You can then collect these rewards from Hawthorne.

Guardian Oath for Guided Games

In addition to clan level, there is another clan score – the “Guardian Oath Score”. When you play by the rules of the Guardian Oath in guided games, this score improves.

Before you can lead guided games, you must take this Guardian Oath. In summary: You should be friendly and helpful and guide the solo player through the activity. If you fail to do this, the score will drop, and you will be temporarily barred from guided games.

How this score can specifically rise and fall is not known.

When these guided games start, you can find out here. They will not be available immediately at launch.

Clan transfer – Transfer from Destiny 1 is no longer possible

The clan transfer from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 has already been carried out. Now you can no longer make settings.

How the clan rewards will specifically look in the seasons is not known yet. However, there are supposed to be rewards like in the Super Bowl.

Warframe – Giant Monsters like Pacific Rim in the Open-World Update

The coop shooter Warframe is getting a major open-world update with the Plains of Eidolon at the end of the year. The bosses in it are enormous monsters reminiscent of the Kaijus from Pacific Rim.

warframe orthos

Warframe, the futuristic online coop shooter by Digital Extremes, will receive the long-awaited open-world update with the “Plains of Eidolon” at the end of 2017. In it, you can expect not only an open world full of NPCs, story and quests. There are even world bosses that are gigantic.

Warframe – Eidolons will be huge and hard to kill

In the Plains of Eidolon, the titular monsters will appear repeatedly. The Eidolon are terrifying creatures created by the “Sentients” to annihilate the Tenno. Therefore, they are truly huge. In an interview with PC Gamer, Live Ops and Community Producer Rebecca Ford (the voice of Lotus in the game) commented on what the Eidolon are about.

Link to the YouTube content

According to Ford, the Eidolon are about 10 stories tall. Therefore, they were also internally referred to as “Kaijus”, just like the giant creatures from the action blockbuster Pacific Rim. Additionally, the colossal monsters from the old Godzilla movies were referred to as Kaijus. As befits such a giant beast, you can’t just take it down.

Warframe – Monster kill requires teamwork

Rather, you need to regularly separate from your Warframe and head out as a human (and much weaker) Operator to make the Eidolon vulnerable with its special powers. Only then can you switch back to the Warframe and give the beast a few punches.

Plains of Eidolon – Open world with a day-night cycle

Also new in Plains of Eidolon will be a dynamic day-night cycle. However, it’s more than just a nice graphics gag. Rather, the time of day will influence your gameplay.

Warframe Grineer Nacht

During the day, Warframe in the open world is the usual slaughter of the Tenno against their weak enemies. However, at night, the veteran mode starts, and inexperienced players should better retreat to the safety of the cities.

EVE Online: Rohstoffkriege in der neuen Erweiterung Lifeblood

The economic system in the space MMORPG EVE Online is one of the most important pillars of the game and will be expanded in the upcoming addon Lifeblood with refineries and mining on moons.

The refineries are massive factories in space that players of EVE Online must build themselves. Here, raw materials are processed to create goods. This will likely affect the entire economy in New Eden and also spark new tensions among the various factions.

Anyone who wants to claim power in a specific area of the market can launch an attack on a refinery and ensure, by its destruction, that only their goods are in circulation.

eve online marshal

Mining and Pirates

This is a new feature that the upcoming addon Lifeblood will bring. Also included is mining on moons, which is related to the refineries. You mine resources on moons and then process them in the factories.

Also, pirates will take notice of you. New bases of the buccaneers have already been sighted, who now smell profit if they can seize the newly mined raw materials. 

Many New Features

Lifeblood will bring even more changes and new features for EVE Online, including a balancing update of the Alpha ships, the Marshal-class Concord combat ship, improvements to the Agency, and an overview of your mining activities.

Lifeblood will be released on October 24 for the MMORPG EVE Online. More information about the upcoming expansion can be found here in the video or on the EVE Online site.

New maps and ranked mode come free to LawBreakers

A new class, new maps, a ranking mode, and the skirmish feature are currently on the roadmap for LawBreakers. This content is free for owners of the game. A few details were revealed on Twitter.

LawBreakers was released just under a month ago and aims to keep its community engaged with free updates in the future. There was a preview of the roadmap on Twitter.

Alongside new maps, there are features such as skirmishes and a new class, of which only a silhouette is currently visible.

LawBreakers Maps and Game Modes on the Way

The new maps for LawBreakers are still under development. In the embedded tweet, we can see that the maps are named “Namsan” and “Gateway.” A very minimal insight is provided in the two shown screenshots.

As a new feature, we can expect skirmishes, and a ranking mode called “Boss Leagues” is on its way to us. A new class is shown in silhouette – unfortunately, there is no further information available at this time. The last entry on the roadmap includes more “Rapid Fire Updates.”

According to the preview, the updates are set to be released in this order in the fourth quarter of 2017. However, the team emphasizes that the content may change before release and is still in development.

This and other content in the future will be free for players who purchase LawBreakers. The anti-gravity shooter “LawBreakers” is now available for PC and PS4. In our preview test, we show you what the game has to offer.

Rend: Survival game is getting bigger than expected – more of a survival MMORPG

Rend was announced as an interesting mix of MOBA, Survival, and MMORPG. At PAX West, the developers presented a new version and explained that they will incorporate more MMO elements.

On one hand, the world will become significantly larger, providing players with more to explore and promoting sandbox elements. The new map of Rend is about three times larger than the old one and offers twelve instead of just three biomes.

Each biome will have different conditions for you to survive. For example, you will need warm clothing to survive in wintery areas. In these landscapes, you will encounter creatures, including animals that you can kill to obtain resources.

Crafting will be expanded

Regarding MMO elements, crafting is being expanded. You can now not only learn certain recipes but also become better at them. Additionally, you can create custom items that allow you to differentiate yourself visually from other players. Moreover, even crafted items will have different stats, even if they come from the same recipe. New are raids in caves, which are said to be among the most challenging challenges in the game.

Control Points for more tactics

rend 2

Additionally, control points are added to carry the conflict between the three factions out into the world. While defending your own base and attacking the enemy’s fortress remains central, capturing control points gives you tactical advantages. The control points can also be attacked by wild beasts.

Build your own fortifications

Depending on how you performed and how useful you were to your faction, you will receive bonus points at the end of a match, which you can use to further improve your hero.

In addition to your faction’s main base, you can also build your own small fortress. However, this is outside the protective wall of the faction base and can therefore be raided at any time. The faction base, on the other hand, can only be attacked in the final phase of a match. Then the so-called Divinity Stone of the faction must be destroyed, which removes the faction from the server. Whoever remains last wins.

Rend will enter an Early Access phase at the beginning of the coming year.

Fast so gut wie Pokémon Go! Die neuen Haustiere in WoW Patch 7.3

With the launch of Patch 7.3 “Shadow of Argus”, the weekly pet battle event unfortunately also came to an end in World of Warcraft. Nevertheless, Argus and some old areas offer new, small companions as well as trainers and battles for exciting pet battles with this update.

On Argus, it quickly becomes lonely despite the influx of heroes. Together with the unfriendliness of the planet, one soon feels discontent being alone. It’s nice to have a companion who stands by you!

Pets from the Wilderness

Most new pets can be caught in the new areas of Argus:

Krokuun

  • Pustulent Larva
  • Pustulent Plague
  • Flickering Argunite
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Flickering Argunite

Mac’Aree

  • Arcane Devourer
  • Demonically Addicted Wyrm
  • Dwarven Marsuul
  • Young Skyfin
  • Void Shardling
  • Wretched Void Stalker
  • Wretched Sphere Hunter
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Void Shardling

Antorian Wastes

  • Antorian Pustulent Larva
  • Antorian Pustulent Plague
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Antorian Bilescourge
The antorian versions of the Pustulent Larva and Pustulent Plague are mainly color relatives to the pets from Krokuun.

Since Mac’Aree will only be accessible this week, the pets from this area will also only be catchable this week.

Pets as Loot on Argus

You can also add some additional companions to your menagerie on Argus through quests, items, or defeating enemies:

Squinty Eye

Demonic Corrupted and the Tamed Skyfin

Rebellious Imp

  • Loot from Mother Rosula in the Antorian Wastes.
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Rebellious Imp
Like the other imps. Just more rebellious. It’s possible he “scorches” the kneecaps with a club.

Pets from Other Sources

Classic methods of looting and catching are joined by professions, achievements, and reputation – even if they are likely the original form of collecting for the passionate pet collector.

Professions

  • Demon Whippers can be obtained by herbalists when gathering herbs.
  • Burrowing Pustulent Larvae can be obtained through skinning.
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Fossorial Bile Larva

Reputation

  • The Forsaken Marsuul can be purchased with a benevolent reputation during the Argus Assault.
  • The Ghost Shark can be bought with the status “Good Friend” from Ilyssia of the Waters.
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Ghost SHark

Holidays

  • During the Winterveil, the Snow Globe Yeti can be obtained.
  • During the Hallow’s End, Naxxy can be obtained.
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Naxxy
A Naxxramas. In small. It flies. The Legion can pack it up.

Rewards from Trainers

  • Completing the collector achievement “A Matter of Typology” will reward you with the Demon Claw Marsuul.
  • Buddler is one of the possible rewards for defeating the Pet Battler in Gnomeregan.
World of Warcraft Argus Pet Felclaw Marsuul
Marsuul: These cute creatures are among the first you encounter upon arrival in Draenor.

Even fans of the old raids can rejoice. The achievement series “Walking the Leash” has received a fifth part, “Nettastrophe”. New pets can now be found in the following raids:

  • Throne of the Four Winds
  • Blackwing Descent
  • Bastion of Twilight
  • Firelands
  • Dragon Soul

Upon completing the achievement, the pet “Amalgam of Destruction” will also be unlocked!

World of Warcraft Argus Pet Amalgam of Destruction

Will you embark on the hunt for new companions, or do you prefer to leave the new pets behind? Is there perhaps one or two that particularly caught your attention? Oh, a Naxxy! Excuse me – caught your attention? Write it in the comments!

If you prefer to spend your time hunting mounts, you can find a detailed guide to the puzzle mount Lucid Nightmare here!

Fortnite builders hate these shells – ball fans love them

In Fortnite (PS4, Xbox One, PC) propan gas husks are a problem for diligent builders. But shooter friends find that just fine.

Fortnite is a mix of different genres, but essentially it boils down to the question: “How do players prefer to kill the attacking zombie monsters?

  • The builders create fortresses and death corridors, lure the monsters onto fixed paths and let the husks run through a chain of traps that ultimately kill them
  • The shooter friends aren’t much interested in base building but ambush the husks right at the spawn point and blast them away.
Fortnite Monster

Propan Gas Husk – the terror of builders in Fortnite

Now there is a type of husk that gives Fortnite builders a hard time. These are the propan gas husks – a bit stronger enemies that can take quite a bit of damage and carry a bomb with them.

The problem: When these husks die and the tank ignites, their propane tank falls to the ground and explodes. Especially at higher levels, this can quickly create a death zone. The walls, ceilings, and floors where the traps are stick suffer damage and are destroyed. This type of husk is extremely effective against wood.

The normal way to deal with these propane gas husks is to spot them as early as possible and aim for the gas tank. Then it explodes on site and kills other husks.

Fortnite Cross-Play

Camp at the spawn or go afk and let the traps do the work?

Builders say: We can’t play the way we want because the propane gas husks tear down our base. These creatures change Fortnite completely. Everyone just waits at the spawn and blasts them. No one builds properly anymore.

Shooter friends find that just fine and say: “They are the counter to your building. Without them, people would just set up these death traps and then go afk for 10 minutes. It should stay that way.”

An interesting discussion has arisen on reddit about this question. Here you can see wonderfully which interesting questions such a genre mix like Fortnite brings forth in practice.

Ultimately, this mob type is a blessing for shooter fans. It’s incredibly fun to blow up the tank and thin out the zombie herd. But they are a curse for builders because you constantly have to watch out that these creatures don’t tear down your super-constructed death trap at the other end of the base. For people with control issues, this is hell.

Destiny 2 Countdown: For the launch a guide to excess

The release of Destiny 2 is just around the corner. You’ve taken time off and want to use the limited time as efficiently as possible? We have the (not always entirely serious) guide for you!

The hype train announces its arrival at the final station with a cheerful “Choo Choo”. No more countless morsels of appetite in the form of videos and information snippets, soon it will be time to roll up your sleeves and save the world from the archvillain Gary Ghaul as a Guardian.

Unlike our preparation guides for the expansions in Destiny 1, you logically cannot make preparations in the game itself. We will show you how to prepare in real life to get the most out of your time!

Mandatory health warning: The ideas presented here are not healthy in the long run. Take breaks while playing. Also, keep in mind that sleep is important and not just something for softies! Tired Guardians have worse reaction times. Your clan mates will thank you if you are well-rested.

Destiny 2: Start time – What time is the official launch?

Your Armor

Depends on your regional climate. Wear relaxed clothing. If you like to wear cocktail dresses in your free time, you should skip that for longer sessions (it crumples up and doesn’t look good anymore, not to mention food stains).

Southpark-WoW

T-shirts (preferably in Destiny style) are recommended, or if it is a bit cooler, a sweater. Jogging pants are perfect for sitting/lying comfortably. If you like it cozy, you can also add a blanket.

If you want to wear rain ponchos without pants, you can do that too. We don’t question that. Wear what feels most comfortable for you.

Your Gaming World

Ensure a pleasant room climate – sweating and freezing are poor long-term motivation. Every second you have to fiddle with your heater or thermostat is wasted time. If you can control the room temperature via your smartphone – congratulations, you can do that comfortably from the sofa.

Set your screen to the right brightness. A bright display looks great, no question, but is not good for your eyes in the long run. The same goes for contrast. Dim your TV or monitor to a bearable level. Especially during longer sessions, your eyes will thank you.

Boys_wow

Consistently block out other light sources. Cover windows, doors with sight glass, and prominently placed clocks. If you can no longer distinguish whether it is day or night, you’ve done everything right. Your body will no longer send annoying signals that it’s time for bed, and you can stay awake better.

Lock all doors. You won’t hear anything under your headsets anyway.

Also, set your smartphone to silent. Let everyone know that you will not respond to calls, messages, etc., unless there is an absolute emergency (like enemy fire in the EDZ). Anyone who wants to contact you in September should please address you as “Guardian”.

Your Soundtrack

Block out all annoying noise sources that have nothing to do with the game. This includes pets, relatives, and partners. Let your relatives and significant others know that you love them – and that they will see you again one day.

If you want to listen to specific music, do it. Bungie has proven that they can create great soundtracks. If that gets too monotonous for you in the long run (especially in multiplayer battles), you can switch to your preferred musical accompaniment of choice. There are various playlists available online for just this purpose. Spotify also offers nice playlists for gaming.

Your Body

If you want to game for long periods of time, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Stand up for at least a minute after every hour of gameplay. Furthermore, you should walk around for 10 minutes every two hours (you don’t have to leave your cave unless you need replenishments from the fridge).
  • It’s important that your blood can circulate freely in your body. Do regular stretches, yoga, jog in place, or whatever else you enjoy.
  • Close your eyes regularly for a few minutes. These are especially strained from prolonged gaming.
  • Don’t just sit around and start to stink. Showering helps! Especially before a longer gaming session, it can help refresh you. Your roommates will also thank you.

Furthermore, make plans for when you want to take breaks and for how long. It’s best to coordinate this break plan with your clan mates, so that everyone is online at the same time. Destiny offers over 80 activities, testers report a campaign lasting good 50 hours. You won’t be the first to finish it if you game through the nights and run out of steam at the finish line.

sleeping_gamer

Your Equipment

Make sure you have enough storage space on your consoles. According to sources, you need at least 68GB of free storage space to be able to install Destiny 2. Ideally more, to allow for updates.

Your console will likely have the toughest time in the coming days – be good to it, and a long gaming pleasure is guaranteed. Dust off your console thoroughly and clean the vents. You should also clean your controllers thoroughly. Long use can lead to dirt or dust affecting handling.

dustycontroller

There are few things more frustrating than a controller or headset giving up the ghost in the middle of a fight. Protect yourself and your colleagues from this problem, by fully charging your equipment beforehand. Several charged controllers for quick swaps should be ready. If you need to charge your headset, do so during breaks or with a suitably long charging cable that doesn’t interfere.

Your Food

By now, you should have stocked up on energy drinks to grab the loot codes. But that doesn’t mean you have to down it all in a short time. On the contrary. Excessive consumption of energy drinks is dangerous and can lead to heart rhythm disturbances. If you don’t want to end up in the hospital, limit yourself to a maximum of 2 cans per day.

red_bull_vorrat

Alcohol is not a good idea either. Some can certainly recount legendary, drunken raid nights, but alcohol is unsuitable for longer gaming because it makes you tired and slows down your reaction time. The first few times you land in the abyss might still be funny, but sooner or later, slurring clan mates missing the big cabal can become quite annoying.

To avoid dehydration, you should mainly stick to water or unsweetened teas.

For larger meals, delivery services are a good option. Most allow you to pre-order days in advance. Plan what you want to eat in the coming days and order everything in one go.

Compile a list of snacks for between meals that you can then buy targeted. Chips, chocolate, or other sweets are tasty – but not a permanent alternative. For example, you can pre-cut vegetables and enjoy them with a dip. A tasty and healthy alternative. Cheese and meat snacks are also valuable sources of protein.

Sandwiches

Moreover, sandwiches can be perfectly prepared and stored in the refrigerator. This way, you should be well-prepared for all situations.

With all these tips, you are well-prepared for Destiny 2. Once you have mastered all aspects of the game, it’s time to return to the real world. Best with a post in a forum asking Bungie to finally deliver more content.

Destiny 2 Countdown

So you don’t forget the launch, we’ve included a countdown for you to keep an eye on:

How will you spend the first days in Destiny 2? Casually? Or full throttle? Let us know in the comments!

Diese 9 Pokémon schlüpfen nicht mehr aus Eiern in Pokémon GO

Changes to Eggs in Pokémon GO: Nine species no longer hatch – Other monsters are now “Hyper-Rare”! Find out here which Pokémon and eggs are affected by the recent changes.

Trainers in Pokémon GO catch new Pokémon not only after raid battles or in the wild, but also find their new companions in eggs. They must transport them in incubators for 2km, 5km, or 10km depending on the category, so that a monster hatches from them.

The developers at Niantic have recently made some changes to the contents of the eggs, which we will explain to you here.

First Generation Starter Pokémon no longer in Eggs

As reported by the Pokémon experts from TheSilphRoad, there have been some changes to the eggs. The timing of the changes can be attributed to the anniversary event of Pokémon GO. Since then, researchers have examined over 6000 eggs and found that the following species are no longer included in these eggs:

  • Bulbasaur
  • Charmander
  • Squirtle
  • Staryu
  • Ekans
  • Goldeen
  • Magnemite
  • Vulpix
  • Yanma

The community is happy about some of the changes that remove rather pointless monsters as rewards from eggs. However, some like Magnemite or Yanma are a bit sad, as they have cool evolutions in Generation 4.

As a result, the egg list has changed again. We have updated it for you and will keep it current in the future. You can find it here: Pokémon GO Egg List of Gen 1 and Gen 2

Pokemon GO Egg Patterns

New Rarity Category

If you have hatched eggs, you may have noticed that some Pokémon hatch significantly more frequently than others. The monsters have previously been classified into four rarity tiers: “Common“, “Unusual“, “Rare“, “Extremely Rare“.

As explained by TheSilphRoad, the new rarity tier “Hyper Rare” has now been added. Monsters in this category are only extremely rarely found as a reward from an egg. According to experts, four species belong to the new category. They are:

  • Woingenau
  • Girafarig
  • Dummisel
  • Pottrott

The new rarity table is now organized as follows – Ordered from “Common” to “Hyper Rare”:

The Division 1.8: Should all DLC content become free now? – Survey

For Update 1.8 of The Division, many agents are demanding one thing from Massive: All DLC content should be free. Season pass for everyone!

Since the early days of The Division, the season pass has divided the community. There are two reasons for this:

  • Those without a season pass must forgo the gameplay modes Underground, Survival, and Last Stand. Once, various gear sets were exclusive, but these have since been made available to all players.
  • Players on PS4 were disadvantaged when it came to DLC content. They had to wait at least a month longer for new content than Xbox and PC agents.
division-dark

The season pass has therefore caused frustration, anger, and a divided agency from the very beginning.

How long should the agency remain divided?

In year 2, Massive is taking a different approach: All upcoming content is free for all agents and will be released on all platforms simultaneously. Now, no one will be disadvantaged or favored.

However, the old problem continues to exist: the season pass content from year 1 is still exclusive to season pass holders. This divide still exists. Therefore, numerous agents are demanding on YouTube, Reddit, and in other forums that this content be made available to everyone.

Several arguments are being made for this step:

  • It would increase player numbers in all DLC modes. Currently, it takes a long time to find teammates. The entire player base would benefit from this.
  • It would improve the reputation of The Division and possibly attract new players.
  • This way, the community could move forward into the future of The Division as a “unified community”.
    division-cleaner

However, there are also voices that view this proposal critically – especially from among season pass holders. After all, they paid a lot of money for the expansion pass. Those who want this content should also pay up.

Supporters reply: The last season pass content was released over 6 months ago. That is enough exclusivity time. After all, everyone would benefit from having more players in The Division.

Now we want to know from you: What do you think? Should all agents get access to the DLC content?

 

It is already known that the Update 1.8 will bring improvements to the Underground. These improvements would then be exclusive to season pass holders.

An official statement from Massive and Ubisoft on this matter is not available.

Muss man die Kampagne von Destiny 2 solo spielen? Spoiler-Verwirrung

The dams at Destiny 2 are broken. A spoiler is causing problems now: Do you have to play the campaign completely alone?

We reported on this already on Friday, that the images and information of a strategy guide for Destiny 2 are on the internet. The flood of information has poured over the community in recent days. Everything you want to know about Destiny 2 can now be known.

But the spoilers are also causing problems.

Do you really have to play the campaign completely alone?

The leaked guide stated about the campaign, which will consist of a “single-player set of missions” – a set of missions designed for single players.

Apparently, some misunderstood this information and understood it to mean that you must play the Destiny 2 campaign only solo and cannot be with friends. If they want to play with them, they think they have to play the campaign a second time.

destiny-2-zavala

Destiny 2: Can you play this solo or do you even have to?

This assumption has prompted the chief producer of Destiny 2 to respond. Mark Noseworthy declared the assumption to be “absurd.” Only the initial moments are to be played solo to fully support the story. After that, you can team up with your friends and take out aliens.

https://twitter.com/knowsworthy/status/904347567714131969

So, the principle remains that we already know from Destiny 1: You can play Destiny 2 solo up to the endgame. But you don’t have to. You can also team up with your friends.

Bungie doesn’t let leaks bother them: Look away, Guardians

Otherwise, the whole “everything is leaked” situation doesn’t seem to affect Bungie much. The employees would likely prefer if players didn’t take advantage of these spoilers.

Noseworthy thanks all content creators who do not report on the spoilers. The launch is only a few days away. You should experience it live with your friends.

Community manager DeeJ comments on the people’s desire to look at the spoilers by saying: “I didn’t stare directly at the sun during the solar eclipse either. Look away, Guardians.”

Destiny 2: Spoiler – Max-Level & Power-Level: This is how you become stronger

In Destiny 2 details about character development have now been revealed. What is the max level in Destiny 2? How do Guardians become stronger? What should you know if you want to play effectively?

The strategy guide for Destiny 2 has leaked – initially, it was just a few images, but now it is fully available online. Therefore, we know the gameplay features that Bungie has kept secret until now. This is the real deal.

Spoiler alert: Everything that follows contains spoilers. It includes gameplay-relevant information about the scope and structure of Destiny 2. There are no story spoilers.

Destiny 2: Max Level and What Happens When You Level Up?

  • The max level in Destiny 2 is 20
  • When you level up, you receive a skill point
  • This is the normal character development: You gain experience points when you defeat enemies or complete activities. Leveling occurs seemingly as you progress towards endgame while completing story missions.
destiny-2-cayde-6

The Actual Leveling – What About the Light Level? How Do I Get Stronger?

  • Actual leveling occurs as in Destiny 1 through equipment: Instead of light level, in Destiny 2 it is the power level
  • The max power level is 300 – an important plateau is at 260. 260 appears to be the transition into endgame.
  • Bungie maintains a friendly system at the beginning in Destiny 2: New items are a few points better than what you possess. Thus, you slowly but surely increase your power level with each item you acquire. However, this only applies until power level 260
  • To become stronger beyond 260, players must complete “milestones.” These are weekly activities.
  • It is not known if there is better gear in the raid – the strategy guide also does not provide information about the raid.
destiny-2-waffe

How Many Activities Are There Exactly in Destiny 2? How Big Is It in PvE?

  • The campaign consists of 16 missions
  • There are 29 adventures – these are side quests
  • There are 4 world quests – these are the major quest lines
  • Additionally, there are other activities like public events, patrols, treasure hunts, or lost sectors. However, nothing is known about their number.
  • And there are 5 strikes (1 bonus strike for PlayStation 4)
destiny-2-schwert

What Are Milestones, Where Is the Good Stuff?

The weekly milestones are:

  • The Call-to-Arms in the Crucible – these are PvP missions
  • Flashpoints – a zone becomes the focal point, and you must complete public events there
  • Nightfall – this is the strike from the Vanguard like before, that is a hard version of a known strike
destiny-2-hüter

What Else Is There to Know?

  • According to the strategy guide, you should be as frugal as possible with the tokens for the vendors and only stock up when you reach power level 300. Until then, you will only get items at your level, which means you will overlevel them. You should only start buying with your tokens when you have reached 300.
  • In general, the milestones are crucial for quick progress. According to the strategy guide, this is the only source of progress beyond 260.
  • There is nothing in the strategy guide about “infusing.”
  • Banshee-44 and the weapon day are likely to return.
  • Crucible matches will now guarantee one item as a reward – power level is disabled by default.

For those wondering: What about Flashpoints? Is there more? We have covered all of that here:

Destiny 2: Class Guide for Beginners – Titan, Hunter or Warlock?

You are a newcomer in the world of Destiny 2 and don’t know which class to start with? Is there a best class? Here is our class guide with all the information at a glance.

Titan, Hunter or Warlock – What are these terms you have to decide between at the beginning of Destiny 2? How do these classes differ and which one is right for me?

destiny-2-hüter_story_heroic

Destiny 2 – Class Overview

In Destiny there are three classes: The Titan, the Warlock and the Hunter. Each class has several subclasses with different abilities.

Apart from the abilities of the respective subclasses, the three classes in Destiny mainly differ through their armor, melee animations, class-specific items, and different movement modes.

  • Titan (Brute Force): Titans are defenders and frontline fighters. They can create barriers but also deal devastating damage. Their melee is feared (Punchbros anywhere?), their class-specific item is a sash worn at the right hip. Titans are equipped with boosters that allow them to jump high quickly.
  • Warlock (Mystic): The Warlocks use arcane “magical” powers that grant them healing abilities and powerful ranged attacks. Their class-specific item is a bracelet worn on the left arm. Warlocks glide through the air.
  • Hunter (Agility): Hunters are agile and nimble guardians who can move quickly between cover. Hunters prefer knives that they can throw at enemies. Hunters wear capes of all variations as their class-specific items. They are fast in the air and can change direction quickly. They don’t float in the air but have double or multiple jumps.
Destiny Trio

In Destiny 2, the melee attacks of all three classes have the same range.

New Class Abilities in Destiny 2

Bungie has made changes to the classes in Destiny 2. Each class now has its own special abilities. This further distinguishes the classes from each other and gives players the opportunity to adopt specific roles or playstyles when selecting a class and the corresponding equipment.

The Titan is now equipped with a barrier that allows him to take cover anywhere and be protected from enemy fire. You can also choose between a large and a small cover. The small cover allows shooting over the barrier at enemies, and it has the advantage of reloading equipped weapons directly.

destiny_2_dawnblade

The Warlock gains with Destiny 2 special abilities that make him a kind of supporter. The Warlock can create a circle around him in which he and allied players regenerate health or deal increased damage.

All Hunter subclasses in Destiny 2 can dodge to avoid damage. This further increases the Hunter’s agility and allows him to reload weapons directly or reduce the cooldown of the melee upon successfully dodging.

The Subclasses in Destiny 2

Players in Destiny 2 can choose their preferred subclass within their class. To use all abilities of a subclass, they must first be unlocked with experience.

Each subclass is associated with an element: Void, Arc, and Solar. These three elements can be encountered all over the game: some weapons deal elemental damage, some enemies have elemental shields, and each Guardian subclass is tied to an element.

destiny-2-jäger-arcstrider

Each Guardian subclass offers different supers and skills, such as melee modifications or grenades.

Destiny 2 will offer 9 subclasses – three for each of the three classes:

Titan Subclasses

  • Striker (Arc) – The Striker favors an aggressive play style. You slam down with your fists in the super and deal area damage. This subclass becomes available after you obtain an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.
  • Sentinel (Void) – The Titan generates a powerful Void shield with his super attack, which he can use as protection, as a melee weapon, and as a ranged weapon. This subclass is automatically unlocked during the game.
  • Sunbreaker (Solar) – The Sunbreaker throws hammers, dealing significant damage from a distance. For this subclass, you need to find an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.

Hunter Subclasses

  • Gunslinger (Solar) – The Gunslinger comes with a “Golden Gun” that can shoot enemies from a distance. For this subclass, you need to find an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.
  • Arcstrider (Arc) – This Hunter twirls an Arc staff around him to acrobatically eliminate enemies. His super is effective in melee. This subclass is automatically unlocked during the game.
  • Nighthawk (Void) – This Hunter has several abilities to suppress, slow down, and weaken opponents. His super is an arrow that chains enemies, causing them to take more damage. For this subclass, you need to find an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.

Warlock Subclasses

  • Voidwalker (Void) – The Voidwalker throws a “Nova Bomb” at enemies – an explosive orb that can be customized in various ways. For this subclass, you need to find an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.
  • Dawnblade (Solar) – The Warlock receives a flaming sword in his super, which he can throw Solar blades at enemies. This subclass is automatically unlocked during the game.
  • Stormcaller (Arc) – The Warlock emits Arc electricity from his arms, moving across the battlefield to eliminate as many enemies as possible. For this subclass, you need to find an artifact and complete the subsequent mission.

The new subclasses in Destiny 2 are presented here in overview.

Which class should I play?

You should ideally try out all classes once to find your favorite.

Play around with the different jumping traits, as these also determined the fate of a class in Destiny 1. The melee skills are also quite different in some cases.

Here are a few considerations:

First, consider how you prefer to play shooters. As a frontline fighter with a shotgun or rather from a safe cover? Titans are great in the front-line combat, while Warlocks and Hunters have advantages in combat from a safe distance.

What about mobility? Destiny rewards agile, mobile gameplay, but not everyone enjoys jumping around with quick direction changes. If you prefer high agility, the Hunter might be your class of choice.

In a group or a lone wolf?

The Warlock is particularly suitable as a supporter with his new special ability. Your teammates will thank you if they can deal more damage or get healed. The Titan can create cover behind which allies can also find protection.

The Hunter is a welcome companion both as a solo player and as a group member, as he can operate from a distance with his high agility, but also quickly revive fallen allies.

Now let’s get to the last point, the appearance. You think it doesn’t matter?

You will likely have your character in front of you in the main game for hundreds of hours in the menu. And over the question of which class has the best style, wars and ugly discussions have already taken place. To answer the question: Warlocks.

All Destiny veterans will agree with me when I say that one could have a fantastic time with every class in Destiny 1. The differences listed here were not always strongly felt in gameplay – because all classes are fun and ultimately it’s about dealing a lot of damage to enemies.

Our Class Guide Collection for More Details!

In the meantime, we have continuously expanded our guide collection. You can now find guides under the following links that deal in detail with the abilities and skills of each class.

As an added bonus, we took a look at every exotic piece of gear for each class and provide you with various build suggestions. Enjoy browsing:

Best Class in Destiny 2 – Is there even such a thing?

If you now think “Appearance and abilities don’t matter to me – I want the best class!”, then here’s a reality check: There is no best class in Destiny 2. At least, none has been discovered yet.

Each class has its advantages and disadvantages; each class performs differently in various situations. It’s possible that in the future a “best class for PvP” or a “best class for this strike” will emerge, but that is not the case at present.

If you’re wondering which class is the most popular – we conducted a survey before the release of Destiny 2. The results were very close, but the Hunter secured the first place. You can read the full results here: The most popular class at the release of Destiny 2 – You voted!
