The recently released online survival game Dark and Light in Early Access has not received well on Steam and garnered numerous negative reviews. Massive technical issues were also to blame. This annoyance is now set to be resolved with new servers and a major patch.
Poor performance with extremely long loading times
Graphics bugs
Overly strong PvP focus
Too close to Ark: Survival Evolved
According to many players, Dark and Light is shockingly unfinished even for an Early Access game. The developers do not want to let this slide and have pulled a few all-nighters.
Dark and Light – Patch is here, Early Access Steam reviews are settling
To appease the angry players, a first patch has been released. This brings several improvements, such as:
Female characters now hit better with stone swords
Stamina and mana regeneration now work correctly
The blacksmith in Estel is finally dressed
Rank 2 equipment for magic defense can now be crafted correctly
You can loot ghost scythes from Wraiths
In addition to the patch, there were also plenty of new servers. Three more realms were launched for the USA, Asia, Oceania, and Europe. This should hopefully improve the massive loading times and performance issues. The new servers are called:
EU-Wyrmslayer-1
EU-Wyrmslayer-2
EU-Wyrmslayer-3
Meanwhile, the Steam reviews have stabilized. Positive reviews now slightly outweigh the negatives, but almost half of the players still find the game terrible. To improve the game and gather feedback, the developers have opened an official discussion on Steam at the provided link.
Anthem is taking a strange marketing approach. Instead of using advertising banners, they prefer to flatten innocent corn plants.
Marketing sometimes takes strange paths. Companies try to reach customers in the most noticeable and creative ways possible. When billboards, advertising banners, and product placement in YouTube videos no longer bear fruit, one seeks other ways – out into nature.
BioWare has come up with something special for Anthem. Instead of spending millions on a traditional advertising campaign, they rented a cornfield and created a work of art for eternity (or at least until the next harvest). A large Exo-Suit from the upcoming multiplayer shooter Anthem, along with the BioWare logo and plenty of cryptic runes to complete the artwork.

Clearly, they are not taking it too seriously, as the video is full of self-irony. However, one could certainly believe that some of the developers have truly never held an ear of corn in their hand.
An Exo-Suit in a Cornfield is Always Free
At least it’s nice to see that the studio has not lost its sense of humor after the debacle surrounding Mass Effect: Andromeda. Even if one does not really believe the enthusiasm shown by the participants in the video.
The reactions in the comments on YouTube are rather mixed. They range from “What a great idea” to “BioWare is making a fool of itself” and “What a damn waste of time and money” – it’s all there.
What do you think of this video? Just plain stupid and a waste of money and time? Or did the video fulfill its purpose – after all, people are talking about it now?
New sound files in Overwatch bring party vibes. Is Doomfist coming with a volleyball tournament for the Summer Games?
In the PTR, the test realm of Overwatch, new files are repeatedly found in the depths of the game that can only be logically associated late. Among them are recurring music pieces and sound snippets.

On Reddit, the user pyth0nix has now found two short music files. These can be attributed to the Summer Games, the next in-game event for Overwatch. Here, there will be the old skins and cosmetic rewards from last year, but also some new features. The first piece is associated with the 30 seconds of waiting time that will be at the start of the brawl:

As for the second piece, there is only speculation that it is the music for the loading screen of the new brawl. Then the brawl would probably be a bit darker than the cheerful Lúcioball.
Doomfist Volleyball at the Summer Games 2017?
Fans speculate that this could be an action-packed volleyball match. That would fit perfectly with Doomfist’s ability kit – because who could hit balls better than the epitome of a punch fighter?
Most players hope that Lúcioball will at least be available again in the arcade, as the mode was praised by many players last year. Although it was relatively simple, one could spend a lot of time in it.
It would also be possible that the Summer Games get a darker touch. Because the villain Doomfist stands for development through conflict and progress – although he is actually excluded from tournaments.
Doomfist will debut on July 27, 2017 – so still this week. The Summer Games will likely kick off a week later, on August 3.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds regularly impresses with new outrageous stunts. This time, a few players got on a motorcycle and bravely jumped into the second floor of a building. There, they took out the completely surprised enemies.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds throws around 100 players onto a deserted island and from there it’s about sheer survival. Each round is different and leads to thrilling final battles or bizarre scenes. Especially vehicles play a big role, for example, when a player raced through a bunker with a car or the disrespectful streamer Dr. DisRespect shot an extra passenger.
The latest stunt in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is even more extreme and resulted in a spectacular victory for a group of players.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Best motorcycle stunt ever!
The player Aaron Hansen was with his buddy AN1M4LPHA and two other teammates and the group encountered a building. Inside was another four-man team entrenched. The opponents were well-equipped and expected almost anything. What they did not expect was Hansen’s extreme stunt, who was riding a motorcycle with AN1M4LPHA.
Bravely, he drove towards the opponents’ building and jumped off thanks to a strategically positioned grassy hill. He flew directly towards a window and, miraculously, did not crash into the wall but managed to land directly on the second floor of the building. That was the only section of the house where the opponent was not paying attention and so AN1M4LPHA could take out all four enemies one by one while Hansen bravely caught the bullets.

A Guardian spent 15 hours on the farm yesterday, even though it was supposed to be open for only one hour. We report on his adventures alone on the farm and his heroic battle against madness in this article.
Last night around 9 PM, we received a message from an excited Guardian. He was still on the farm, suggesting that an article could be made about what a persistent Guardian he is. We listened with interest but politely declined. One hour longer didn’t seem worth mentioning to us.
However, it seems that after one hour, no new Guardians could enter the social space. But Bungie did not kick out the Guardians who were already on the farm. What were they supposed to do, there was hardly anything happening? The vendors were off.
15 Hours of a Guardian Alone on the Farm
A Guardian took it too far and spent 15 hours on the farm. Allegedly to “keep watch in case the Cabal come back, now that everyone is gone.”
To prevent the Guardian from going insane in his solitude, he behaved like Tom Hanks in the movie “Cast Away.” He made sure he had enough fresh drinking water and “played games to keep his mind sharp and his reflexes quick”.
He made it his mission to kick the soccer ball anywhere he could and he followed through with it.
Unfortunately, it is not recorded whether he started talking to the soccer ball, painted a face on it, and began arguments with “Wilson,” but Destiny scientists believe: That definitely happened. It could not have been any other way.
The Guardian published this collection of images from his adventures on imgur.
Season 11 in Diablo 3 (PS4, PC, Xbox One) attracts many players again to compete against each other on the leaderboard. We show you what you need to know for Season 11.
At the start of a new season in Diablo III, interest in the hack and slash title is particularly high. Anyone can participate in a season, but they must create a new character for that. Paragon level, gold, equipment – nothing from the previous seasons is available, you start anew.
This race is fun and invites competition with other players on the leaderboards. We provide you with the key information for Season 11 in Diablo 3.
Starting a Season – How to Participate in a Diablo 3 Season
To participate in a season in Diablo 3, you need a special character. So you create a new character and select the category “Seasonal Hero” during the creation process. Only if this option is activated can you participate in a season with this hero.
A seasonal character only has access for one season. At the end of a season (which usually lasts about 3 months), these characters are then converted to non-seasonal characters.
Then all gold, paragon levels, blood shards, items, and artisan levels are transferred to the non-seasonal heroes.
Reincarnation in Diablo 3
If you have grown particularly fond of your seasonal character, you can use it again in the next seasons. However, the hero will be completely reset and will only keep its name from the last season.
For a reincarnation, you select a hero from your character overview and click “Reincarnation” on the right side of the screen. A warning will then appear, informing you of the consequences.
Finding Kanai’s Cube
A cool and important feature in Diablo 3 is Kanai’s Cube. This allows you to extract legendary properties from gear and add them to your character. For example, you can extract the legendary property of the Ring of Royal Grandeur and receive its benefit of set item reduction even if you do not wear the ring.
To use Kanai’s Cube, you first need to find it. You can see the location of Kanai’s Cube in the following video:

The Season Journey presents you with various tasks during the seasons in Diablo 3. If you complete these, you will be rewarded with stash tabs or sets, for example.
For reaching stages 2, 3, and 4 of the Season Journey, you will receive one of Haedrig’s gifts. It contains several pieces of one of the class sets. It is important which class you open the gift with. If you open it with a wizard, it contains parts of a specific wizard set; if you open it with a monk, it contains parts of a monk set.
The sets included change with each season. In Season 11, the following class sets are available from Haedrig’s gift:
Barbarian – Wrath of the Wastes
Crusader – Roland’s Legacy
Demon Hunter – Unhallowed Essence
Monk – Raiment of a Thousand Storms
Necromancer – Rathma’s Bones
Witch Doctor – Helltooth Harness
Wizard – Tal Rasha’s Elements
The individual stages of the Season Journey are displayed in the game. You have an icon above the minimap that brings up an overview of the goals to be achieved.
If you do not let yourself be pulled up to level 70 by other players in a season, you may embark on this adventure alone or with friends at the same level. Leveling your character from level 1 to level 70 is not easy, but it can be accelerated with the right tips.
The Best Classes and Builds for Season 11 – Tier List
Due to the various balance patches, the ranking of the best classes and builds in Diablo 3 changes. Additionally, the Necromancer is competing for the first time in Season 11 and contending in the leaderboard of the strongest classes.
The Hunting Weapons of Monster Hunter World in Video – Here’s How to Hunt the Biggest Creatures!
Since the announcement of Monster Hunter World at E3, fans have been eagerly waiting for new material regarding the upcoming monster hunt. At Comic Con in San Diego, a panel was held over the weekend that specifically dealt with Monster Hunter World.
There will be a total of 14 different weapon types. Some of them can be seen below, such as the “Huntinghorn”, the “Switchaxe”, and the “Light Bowgun” – quite crazy combinations of ordinary weapons that have long been a part of the daily life for “Monster Hunter” fans.
The video unfortunately has low quality as it was filmed from a projector. However, it is enough for an initial impression:

14 Weapons in Monster Hunter World – One for Every Player Type
Thanks to the different weapons, there are also various playstyles. While players with the Bowgun tend to flank, teammates with a big club try to jump directly on the head of the hunting target and let the weapon circle there.
According to the relevant post on Reddit, Capcom also promised at Comic Con that each weapon will have its own video in the coming days, detailing the handling and gameplay experience.
Once again, the video also showed the feature of inviting other players to the hunt using beacons – a small detail that they are clearly very proud of (and which still receives applause from the fans).
Monster Hunter World is expected to be released early in 2018 – at least on PS4 and Xbox One. A PC version is supposed to follow “shortly thereafter.”
Which weapon looks the most interesting to you so far? Will you let the Switchaxe spin or rather go hunting with the Huntinghorn?
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has only been on the market for four months and regularly sets new records in terms of sold copies and concurrent players. The Battle Royale shooter has already sold more than 5.1 million copies and leads the Steam charts. The release on PS4 and Xbox One is still pending.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds celebrates one success after another. Recently, it was announced that it has surpassed GTA 5 in concurrent players with 382,561 gamers at the same time.
By now, there are likely even more players in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, as the game has reached a new milestone in sales.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – More players than ever before!
According to the current Steam charts, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has so far been sold more than 5.1 million times. The figures have not yet been confirmed by the developer Bluehole, but they are sourced, according to VG247, directly from the Steam charts and should therefore be accurate.
This great success is particularly impressive as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is still in Early Access and is far from finished. The game is set to release as a full version at the end of the year and will receive many updates until then.
and the mandatory fixes for server lags. Such delays and stuttering have been disrupting the gameplay since the start of Early Access. Sometimes they even lead to bizarre situations like a mass brawl among 100 unarmed players.
Bungie has unleashed the Guardians on the game with the beta of Destiny 2. A story mission is playable, along with a strike, and Guardians can also visit the Crucible. We show you which weapons can be played in the beta, and how they feel compared to the predecessor Destiny 1.
The most important information upfront: Bungie has announced that nothing in the current beta of Destiny 2 has to correspond to the final game. Especially regarding balancing, there may still be changes.
Ammunition drops in Destiny 2 are much rarer for the power weapons. In the other two slots, there are primary weapons, one without an element (kinetic) and one with an element such as Void, Arc, or Solar.
Kinetic and Energy Weapons – How do the individual weapon types fare?
In the two slots for kinetic and energy weapons, we find all representatives from the primary weapon category of Destiny 1 alongside the hand cannons.
Pulse Rifles
Pulse rifles have made a very good impression in the beta, both in PvE and PvP. Especially in PvP, Bungie will likely make further changes (i.e., nerfs), as pulse rifles are significantly stronger at both long and close ranges compared to the other weapon types.
Scout Rifles
The scout rifles, on the other hand, feel significantly worse than in the predecessor. This weapon category could score points for range in Destiny 1, but we are already experiencing massive damage drops at medium range in the beta.
Hand Cannons
Among the more popular categories of kinetic and energy weapons are also the hand cannons, which achieve good results in both PvE and PvP. The hand cannons suffer from damage adjustments, but one gets a good sense of why the hand cannon is by far the most popular weapon type in PvP in Destiny 1.
Pistols / Sidearms
The once housed in the special weapon slot pistols are back in play. However, they did not convince in either PvE or PvP, as they did in the predecessor.
Auto Rifles and Submachine Guns
The auto rifles are back. Bungie has split the fast-firing auto rifles with a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute and created a new weapon category of submachine guns, a kind of subclass that operates as its own category.
While the auto rifles feel good, but especially in PvE seem to deal too little damage, the submachine guns are only useful at short range. The weapon sway is noticeably present, and the damage drop is recognizable very early. Whether this weapon type can establish itself in the main game will also depend on whether Bungie succeeds in creating situations where submachine guns can play to their strengths.
The Power Weapons – How strong are the weapon types?
With the exception of the pistols, all special weapons and all heavy weapons from Destiny 1 have ended up in the power slot – except for machine guns, which are out.
This causes a crunch around the choice of weapon for the corresponding activity. Bungie wanted to unite all weapons with “one-hit kill” potential in a category with limited ammunition resources to make PvP more primed-oriented.
The shotguns felt excellent in both PvE and PvP. In the first story mission, even the enemies with yellow health bars fell after a few shots. Risky gameplay is clearly rewarded here. After the countless nerfs on shotguns in the predecessor, this is a very welcome change.
Fusion Rifles
The fusion rifle playable in the beta also played well. Stability and handling could keep up with the perfectly rolled Thesans and Panta Rheis from Destiny 1. If Bungie does not make any major changes here, the fusion rifle will surely be a popular alternative in the crucible of the main game.
Sniper Rifles
The sniper rifles felt less powerful than in Destiny 1. Especially in PvE, Bungie will have to significantly increase the damage to really present the Guardians with a real dilemma over the choice of the right weapon.
Linear Fusion Rifles
A new weapon category is represented by the linear fusion rifles. In Destiny 1, there was only one exotic representative with the Queenbreaker. Whether this weapon type will become a popular choice in the power slot also depends on the various playstyles that this weapon category will provide.
Grenade Launchers
With the grenade launchers, there is yet another new weapon category. The consensus among players here is that the weapon deals too little damage, whether in battles against AI or against other Guardians.
Rocket Launchers
Together with the well-known rocket launchers, which still provide the biggest explosions, guardians have a variety of options in just one weapon slot. The balancing will greatly influence which weapons can effectively combat the largest foes like raid bosses.
Especially the mods offer ample room for speculation about what can be “modified” here.
Since Bungie has already announced that weapons always come with the same perks, the modifications and intrinsic perks allow for individuality.
Exotic Weapons
The exotic weapons will also stimulate the collectors’ drive of the guardians. In gameplay videos and demonstrations, some exotic representatives have already been discovered. In the beta, we were also gifted three exotic weapons. You can read here which they are and what they can do.
The choice of the right exotic weapon will also be a determining theme in the main game, as only one slot can be equipped with an exotic equipment item.
What is your first impression of the weapons? What did you clean up in the Crucible or decimate the ranks of the Cabal with? Let us know in the comments!

The zombie online game Dying Light remains popular among its core players. Therefore, the developers have announced 10 DLCs.
According to Techland, the developer of the zombie game Dying Light, around half a million players play the online game every week.
Currently, there are rumors that the sequel is already in development; however, they do not want to neglect the fans of the current title. Therefore, the developers have now announced 10 free DLCs, which are set to be released over the next 12 months.
New monsters, events, and more
According to producer Tymon Smektala, the DLCs will bring new, challenging foes, plenty of secrets, many in-game events, and more.
To set the mood, DLC number 0, which is not one of the ten announced, will be released soon and introduces a series of new enemies into the game. The developers see the upcoming DLCs as a kind of thank you for the loyalty of the fans since it is not commonplace for a game to still engage half a million users three years after release.
What happened to the previous plans?
However, these plans also raise questions. Did Techland not want to focus on developing a new fantasy open-world game where players would fight together against giant enemies? The game had not yet been named, and there has been no news about the fantasy game for a while.
But if the developers are now focusing on DLCs for Dying Light, what will happen to this fantasy game?

An editor from an English gaming site had the opportunity to play an early version of Alpha 3.0 of the space MMO Star Citizen. He brings a trailer for 3.0 and some impressions.
The editor from PC Gamer reports how he flew from a space station into space, making a quantum jump to the moon Daymar, landing there, and getting out of the ship. All of this worked seamlessly and without loading times.
The editor states that he felt like an astronaut flying to the moon, landing without a crash, and finally stepping out to explore the alien world.
Speed adjustments with the mouse wheel
He had a special fun with a small but fine system: With the mouse wheel, you can continuously change the speed at which the character moves.
This is supposed to work simply and intuitively. You can switch at any time from a slow walk to a run and back again. This is meant to make running around more realistic, as in “real” life you can also move seamlessly at different speeds.
Racing with the Nox bike and multiplayer battles
The editor experienced even more. For example, he raced around with the Nox bike and engaged in a battle with other players on the moon. He also visited an old mining colony on an asteroid. Additionally, he learned about the plans Cloud Imperium has for the time after the release of Alpha 3.0. However, he wants to write about that in the magazine.
To set the mood for Alpha 3.0, a trailer of the game was also released, showing exciting scenes.

Resourceful players have discovered a new Goblin farming route in Act 4 of Diablo 3. We will show you how to find at least one Goblin per minute to complete your collection of pets and wings.
Once you’ve heard a Goblin’s laughter, you won’t forget it easily. They will drop everything to send the Goblin to oblivion. It doesn’t matter how many hordes of monsters you have to ignore for this, because Goblins drop great stuff once defeated.
Massive Treasure Goblins – the new best way to farm in Diablo 3?
The Redditor fourpickledcucumbers collected data from the community and found a Goblin spawn rate of over 50% in a specific area. The data is based on nearly 1,100 runs in the starting area in the Upper Realms of Cursed Fate in Act 4.
As soon as you teleport there, you will run through a relatively small labyrinth. Each run takes no longer than 30 seconds. In the 1,084 attempts, the following results were recorded:
Almost 500 times a Goblin was found
In about 100 runs, 2 Goblins were found there.
What Goblins can appear?
All sorts of Goblin types can be encountered here.
The Rainbow Goblin was encountered 23 times according to the assessment,
The Menagerie Goblin showed up in 38 runs.
The area is also excellent for farming, as elite enemies appear here that drop loot and crafting materials.
This isn’t the first time the community has exploited excellent farming spots to the max, only for Blizzard to remove or significantly nerf them afterward. Therefore, we advise you to make the most of this spot for as long as possible.
What are your experiences with this farming route? Let us know in the comments!
SWTOR sniffs draft – at least in housing. The next patch 5.4 brings “masterful” flashpoints and a player house on a train.
Star Wars: The Old Republic has been trying for a few months to give players a heads-up about what to expect in the next content patches. The next update is patch 5.4 and was only roughly outlined during the presentation of the roadmap for 2017.
The game producer of SWTOR, Keith Kanneg, has now clarified a bit in the forum and explained what players can expect in the next update.
The story will continue on the planet Umbara. Here awaits a new flashpoint in three difficulty levels (Story, Veteran, and Master). For the “Master” difficulty, something “special” has been planned. Players need an item level of 242 to register via the group finder. Self-made groups can also take on the challenge with lower levels.
The Umbara Stronghold will be a new, galactic fortress for housing. It is located on a moving train and should therefore include spectacular views and cool features. To unlock the fortress, however, the aforementioned flashpoint must be visited multiple times.
Aside from that, there are also some quality-of-life improvements in the game. Companions can soon be summoned while moving (which players have been requesting since the release), and there are new customization options for characters – including hairstyles for Lana, Koth, and Zenya.
Lastly, there are minor graphical improvements in shadows and contrast as well as the end of the 8th PvP season.
Frustration over item level limit of 242
Not all fans are satisfied with the announcements. Many do not want “more galactic fortresses” but rather “real content” – whatever that may mean. Additionally, many players feel that the required item level of 242 to join the “Master” difficulty level of the new flashpoint is too high.
Kanneg emphasizes that the feedback is appreciated, but the team should also be given the opportunity to try new things.
Patch 5.4 is set to be released in August. However, there is no fixed date yet.
Some say they symbolize the “law of the strongest”, a world where warlords have the say and military power trumps all.
The Cabal are pragmatic militarists with a drive for expansion: Anything in the way is cleared aside, if necessary they blow up planets. They envy humanity for its role as the “chosen people of the Traveler”, thinking of them as soft zombies who rely on being resurrected by the Traveler when they fail.
Nice guys.
Destiny 2 – Kill Gary
These Cabal are attacking the Tower, destroying everything Guardians built in Destiny 1, even letting the air out of the sacred ball. A true Guardian cannot let this go by.
In the beta of Destiny 2 first Guardians are now bringing Cabal ships down from the sky. It’s not that easy, but it works if you ignite your super and unleash a “Golden Gun” on the ship.
Shooting clay pigeons at Cabal ships
Here in the clip you can see the attempt by Redditor JAMeador13 to really show the Cabal what’s what:

The ship simply explodes unremarkably: No loot, no light sphere, nothing special happens. The Guardians stand there with an empty super and look dejected. It seems that the militaristic turtles cannot be so easily fended off.

Has Blizzard revealed the date for the next hero of Overwatch in the “Masquerade” comic? One theory suggests so – and has good indications.
Doomfist hasn’t even fully arrived in Overwatch and already fans are speculating about when the next character will be introduced in Blizzard’s hero shooter.
On Reddit, OverwatchSarah wrote a post pointing out some details that feature in the latest comic “Masquerade” regarding Doomfist. Doomfist, Maximilien, and Widowmaker are in a casino. While Doomfist and Maximilien discuss Talon and important business, Widowmaker is gambling – and this is where the clue is buried.
As Amelie and the casino guy are conversing in French, many fans miss the nuances of the dialogue – but it’s mostly about numbers, and they are quite suspicious!
Gambling reveals date for new Overwatch hero?
Widowmaker rolls a “seven” once and an “eleven” the next – then the casino omnic says, “Next player.” With a bit of imagination, his words could imply “07.11. next character”.
The date fits perfectly, as BlizzCon will take place this year on November 3rd and 4th. That would be the perfect time to announce a new hero, who would then appear on the PTR just three days later – namely on November 7th.
Whether there is any truth to this theory will only become clear in a few months. However, all signs point to it being more than just a coincidence, and Blizzard (as has happened many times before) has hidden an important detail in the comic.
Black Desert Online still has the best character editor of all online role-playing games. Therefore, you can customize the new heroine Mystic to your heart’s content during character creation. The editor offers an abundance of great templates and options.
When players are asked about the advantages of Black Desert Online, besides the brilliant combat system and the open sandbox world, the detailed character editor usually comes up as well. It is incredible what is possible with this powerful tool.
Black Desert Online – Thanks to the character editor, everything is possible
The new class Mystic doesn’t have to borrow the appearance of other characters and actors to look good. The new heroine holds her own against the known characters and comes as a athletic and long-legged blonde beauty.
However, if that doesn’t suit you, you can easily equip her with all sorts of hair colors and hairstyles and also adjust her body type in various ways.

What you can change about the new heroine and how the changes will look, you can see in the embedded YouTube videos here. Players have already checked out Mystic on the Korean servers and thoroughly explored the limits of what is possible in character creation.
https://youtu.be/WsqmYVWYqFg
However, we still have to be patient before we can admire Mystic in the character editor in the West. So far, the new fighter is only announced for Korea, and the Western release is still pending.
But it shouldn’t take too long, as new heroes have only come to Black Desert in Europe a few weeks after the Korean release.
Articuno and Lugia are difficult to catch. This is not only due to their monster strength but also because of server issues in Pokémon GO.
In celebration of the first anniversary of Pokémon GO, the legendary Pokémon are finally available in the game. So far, there are exactly two: Lugia and Articuno. Many trainers want to have these special monsters in their collection, but it’s not that easy.
On one hand, server issues from Niantic disrupt the catching process, on the other hand, the monsters are really hard to defeat and catch.
Problems Catching Lugia and Articuno – Group Size
The legendary Pokémon are something very special in the Pokémon world. These specimens are often associated with a story and are rare to find. For example, there is the legendary (bird) trio consisting of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. This group is led by Lugia.
Two of them, Articuno and Lugia, can now be found in Pokémon GO. However, these monsters also pose a unique challenge, as they are strong and have many combat points. For example, you can find a Lugia as a raid boss with 42,753 CP. For comparison: A Magikarp, the easiest raid boss, only has 1165 CP.You can find an overview of the difficulty levels of raid bosses in Pokémon GO here
Pokémon GO: How Many Trainers Are Needed for a Legendary? – Raids Disadvantage Players in Rural Areas
To defeat such a legendary raid boss, it is clear: This cannot be done alone; it requires the support of additional trainers and their Pokémon. If you live in a rural area that generally has few gyms or players, it will be difficult for you in this battle.
Trainers who have particularly strong Pokémon in their collection may only need a 10-player group for such a legendary raid. Trainers with average Pokémon will probably need about 20 players to defeat Lugia. Finding that many players at the same time for a raid in a village is not impossible, but it is challenging.
As seen in the trailers, Niantic’s goal is for these Pokémon to be attacked by large groups. It’s time to convince more people in your village to play.
Pokémon GO: Connectivity Issues and Difficulty Cause Frustration
With enough players and strong Pokémon, it is possible to defeat the legendary Pokémon. The next step is catching Articuno and Lugia. Some players complain about connectivity issues that make catching these Pokémon difficult. Players are discussing current problems on social networks:
In addition to connectivity issues, the boss design from Niantic is also a problem for many players. Several trainers are already reporting about the low catch chance of Articuno and Lugia. According to PokémonGOHub, this chance is only about 2%.
But is this really a reason to complain? After all, there is a reason they are called “legendary” Pokémon.
Legendary Pokémon – Should Be Special, But Everyone Wants Them
The opinions of the Pokémon GO community are divided. Many trainers are frustrated that they still haven’t been able to catch an Articuno or Lugia. Others explain that these monsters are “legendary” for a reason and should be something special.
If every trainer could catch these special monsters by themselves, they would be Pokémon like any other.
However, it is also understandable if trainers are upset because they are struggling with connectivity issues which deny them the chance to catch.
In the upcoming MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar those who pay for access to the test server and the Dev+ forum can early benefit from changes to the game system.
Anyone who has acquired a so-called Dev+ access at Shroud of the Avatar gets access to the so-called Dev+ forum and the test server. This access was offered during the Kickstarter campaign and for some time afterward to those who spent at least 450 dollars on the game.
In the Dev+ forum, upcoming changes and planned features as well as patch notes are announced earlier than in the regular forum.
Those who pay can enrich themselves with insider information
It has now been announced in the Dev+ forum that a change to the game economy will be implemented with the next release. This change means that significantly more resources will soon be required to craft a specific object.
The economy in the game is completely driven by the players. This means: Those who have now received this information early by paying for Dev+ access can already start gathering and stockpiling these resources on the live servers and can already craft the object that currently requires fewer of those resources.
Thus, players with Dev+ access have a significant economic advantage over all other players. They can craft the object cheaply now and then sell it profitably after the change is implemented.
This has caused some excitement in the forum. The corresponding thread in which the criticism was expressed was, however, deleted without comment by the developers. There is currently no official statement on this.
Second crowdfunding campaign is moving slowly
The developers are currently apparently more focused on completing the new game version that will be released this Thursday. Additionally, in about two weeks, the second crowdfunding campaign for SotA will end. This is currently moving very slowly, and it is not yet certain whether the minimum goal will be reached. However, another crowdfunding campaign to fund Episode 2 of the RPG is already in planning.
Lugia is one of the legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to successfully complete the Lugia raid and catch the monster.
For a few days now, you can experience legendary Pokémon as raid bosses in Pokémon GO, fight against them, and then try to catch them. This is an exciting experience for many trainers, as they have had to wait a long time for these special monsters.
In this guide, we show you important information, such as weaknesses and counters, for the Lugia raid in Pokémon GO.
Lugia CP – How difficult is the Lugia raid
To celebrate the first birthday of Pokémon GO, the developers met with over 20,000 trainers in Grant Park Chicago. During this GO Fest, there were various tasks for trainers on-site and around the world. As a reward for successfully completed tasks, the legendary Pokémon Lugia and Articuno were activated in the game, which can now be caught by trainers worldwide.
Catching legendary Pokémon is not easy and cannot be done alone. Important information comes from the experts at PokémonGOHub, which we compile for you here.
Lugia is one of the legendary Pokémon and is of the Psychic and Flying type. It has a few strong counters that will help you in the battle against this raid boss. As a raid boss, Lugia can have a maximum of 42753 CP – After being caught, a maximum of 2056 CP.
Lugia Raid Counters – How to defeat Lugia
If you start a Pokémon GO raid against a legendary opponent like Lugia, a lot of work awaits you. Remember that you cannot defeat this opponent alone, but need a group of several trainers and many strong Pokémon. Certain monsters counter Lugia with their movesets and are therefore particularly well suited for the fight against this boss.
Effective attacks against Lugia: Attacks of the type Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, and Dark are particularly effective and cause a lot of damage to Lugia. The following Pokémon are suitable as top attackers against Lugia:
Source: PokémonGOHub
Tyranitar with moveset Bite and Crunch or Bite and Stone Edge
Groudon with moveset Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Jolteon with moveset Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Magneton with moveset Thunder Shock and Charge Beam
Roserade with moveset Ice Wind and Blizzard
Gengar with moveset Dark Claw and Shadow Ball
More Lugia counters:
If you don’t have any of the top attackers shown above in your collection, the following Pokémon can help in battle:
Steelix with moveset Steel Tail and Crunch
Walrein with moveset Water Gun and Ice Beam
Slaking with moveset Water Gun and Blizzard
Espeon with moveset Last Resort and Parasite
Houndoom with moveset Last Resort and Parasite
Catching Lugia – Catch Chance and Buddy Kilometers
Once you’ve defeated Lugia after a tough battle, you’ll definitely want to add it to your Pokémon collection. However, this is not easy, as these legendary Pokémon have only about a 2% catch chance. Therefore, it is advisable to use berries for the catch.
If you have caught Lugia and selected it as your buddy, you need to walk 20 kilometers for the Pokémon to find a candy.

Doomfist from Overwatch is not live yet, but there are already many Plays of the Game featuring him. And some are truly hilarious.
Every week, absurd, exciting, or simply funny moments happen in Overwatch that are often captured in a “Play of the Game.” We have searched social media and picked out three special highlights for you. Enjoy our 3 “Play of the Game” moments of the week in Overwatch!
Our first clip is a submission from our readership. The player Affecteddemonstrates significant skill with Widowmaker and often dominates the opposing team single-handedly. But how do you top such a playstyle? Right: You propel yourself into the air with the Grappling Hook and deliver a precise headshot to the enemy. Because that wasn’t enough for Affected, he even took down a second foe with one shot – during the same movement. Simply insane.

Our second clip also features a Widowmaker with some serious skills. The player MountainDewd was scolded by his team for picking Widowmaker, being told that he “had no idea how to play her properly.” Of course, he couldn’t let that slide and made a move that few professionals can replicate. Many heads will roll.
Our last clip isn’t exactly a “Play of the Game,” but it’s a funny scene that impressively shows how to confuse enemies with Doomfist. Bullgrit becomes the victim of just such a deception. His enemy Boltshock (also Doomfist) seems to jump into a deadly abyss – only to vanish the next moment. What had to happen happened. A few seconds later, the fight is decided and the “suicider” is the winner.
