New epic skins for Tyra and Inara – Holiday Chest in Summer

Although we are currently in the middle of summer, Hi-Rez Studio releases winter skins for Tyra and Inara. Why not? The skins are available in the holiday chest, which contains old Christmas skins like Frohnatur-Evie.

Dire Wolf Tyra

The huntress would be perfectly equipped for icy mountains with this outfit. Her fur, tattoo, and clothing blend into a snowy landscape. The skin includes:

  • Champion Skin
  • Voice Pack
  • Weapon
  • Spray
Paladins DireWolf Tyra

Ice Walker Inara

The tank lady changes her element with this skin. With this skin, Inara appears like a cool ice queen. The skin includes:

  • Champion Skin
  • Voice Pack
  • Weapon
  • Spray
Paladins IceWalker Inara

Paladins OB54: Prices & Rewards Adjusted – Aimed at Supporting Player Progression

Hi-Rez Studio has examined player feedback and analyzed its own data.

The result: It is currently too difficult to unlock cards. In Paladins, players build decks with cards to customize the abilities of the champions. Deckbuilding is the heart of Paladins.

Especially for new players, it is important that they can quickly assemble at least 1-2 decks for their favorite heroes. To support player progression, the developers want to ensure that cards can be obtained faster.

In summary, prices and rewards will be adjusted as follows:

  • Players earn chests faster
  • Crafting costs of cards will be reduced
  • There will be new ways to earn essence
  • Gold rewards will be increased by 60% for weekly quests
Paladins Zhin Maeve

Radiant Chests

  • Cosmetic items will drop 33% more frequently from Radiant Chests

Card Crafting – Essence Costs Reduced

  • Legendary: 12,000 to 10,000
  • Epic: 5,000 to 4,000
  • Rare: 1,250 to 1,000
  • Common: 500 to 350

Daily Login Bonus

  • Provides 250 essence from day 4 (instead of 350 gold)
  • Provides 500 essence from day 5 (instead of 500 gold)
  • Provides 1,000 essence from day 6 (instead of 15 crystals)
paladins lian titel1

Weekly Quests – Rewards Increased & Essence Added

  • Players now receive 1250 gold each for playing 5 matches as support, front line, flank, or damage
  • “Adventure Awaits” now gives 1000 essence for playing 10 matches
  • “Champion” now gives 1000 essence for winning 6 matches
  • “Together, Indomitable” now gives 1000 essence for winning 4 matches

Champions Cost More

  • 7,500 gold champs now cost 12,500 gold
  • 5,000 gold champs now cost 7,500 gold
  • 4,000 gold champs now cost 5,000 gold

Prices of Cosmetic Items Adjusted

  • Cosmetic items now cost more gold, but fewer crystals.
Paladins Evie Festtag
Frohnatur-Evie is a relatively old skin. You can now pull the Christmas look from the holiday chest.

Paladins Champion Adjustments OB54 – Focus is on Legendary Cards

In this update, the legendary cards of the champions are mainly adjusted. The goal is to create a balanced balance among the three strongest cards of the heroes. Some cards are simply much stronger than the others from a hero set. This makes it almost mandatory to equip the champion with the strongest card.

In Paladins, players should be able to build a champion to their liking through deckbuilding.  This is only guaranteed if the balance between the cards is right. This is now being worked on in OB54.

Cards that have been little used will receive buffs and some will be completely overhauled.

Paladins Lian2

Otherwise, there were a few bug fixes. Champions are now displayed correctly in the match lobby when a player has selected them. You can find the full patch notes from Hi-Rez in our sources. There you can also see which legendary cards have been adjusted.

Have you tried Paladins new mode “Offensive”? A casual intermediate mode where you are rewarded for many kills.

Wild West Online: Gameplay trailer shows mix of Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption

There is a sign of life from the Western MMO Wild West Online (PC). A whimsical gameplay trailer presents a mix of Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption. The trailer shows the hunt for a wanted criminal. Furthermore, there are already pre-order packages available.

Wild West Online new

Imagine there is an MMO that combines the open world of Skyrim with the gritty Wild West setting of Red Dead Redemption and is even coming to PC. This is the game Wild West Online aims to be.

And if the first gameplay video is to be believed, Wild West Online has a good chance of becoming a worthy competitor to Rockstar’s western game Red Dead Redemption 2.

Wild West Online – Bandit or Bounty Hunter?

In the video for Wild West Online, you can see among other things the character creation and the hunt for a wanted bandit.

You first select the villain via a wanted poster and then track him based on the last known locations in the free, open world. If you catch the scoundrel, you get a bounty, and your good reputation as a lawman increases.

Alternatively, you can become a bandit yourself and rob banks or trains. Then your bad reputation increases, and eventually, there will be a wanted poster for you. Other players can then legally hunt you down for a reward.

Wild West Online – Early Access Founder Packages for Alpha and Beta

Wild West Online 1

If your virtual trigger finger is already itching, you can be happy. Because in summer 2017, the first alpha for Wild West Online is set to start.

The full game is expected to be released in December 2017.

You can order the founder packages at the provided  link.

ARK: Price goes up and down – Why is ARK suddenly so expensive?

In ARK Survival Evolved, the price has first risen and after a shitstorm, it has now fallen – at least on PC. PS4 and Xbox One are not affected by this price decrease. Why is ARK so expensive now?

ARK Survival Evolved has increased its price to €70. This led to a lot of criticism. Now the prices have at least fallen on the PC platform Steam. Over the weekend, the price for the German download version of ARK on PC was lowered from €69.99 to €59.99.

However, the game is still priced at €69.99 in the PlayStation Store. The Xbox One store also lists it at €69.99.

ark dragon

But what was the reason for the drastic price increase in recent days?

The price of the digital version is based on the retail price

The price increase from about $29.99 to $59.99 has caused a lot of trouble. The worldwide release of ARK Survival Evolved for PC, PS4, and Xbox One is on August 8. Before this commercial release, the price was increased so drastically.

According to Studio WildCard, the price increase was due to the wishes of the distribution partners. This is the business reality in a “retail model with pre-orders.”

The distribution partners did not want any price difference between digital sales and retail sales. Therefore, the digital version cannot be cheaper than the “retail” version.

Retail versions cost $60 – ARK seems to see little room to maneuver, although this is not explicitly stated.

Ark Survival Evolved

Pioneering role associated with problems

Since ARK now has 3 times more content than at the Early Access start, Studio WildCard found the price increase justified. Therefore, ARK decided to comply with these demands. However, they understand the frustration.

Only a few major games have made the leap from Early Access to a full launch like ARK, so this step now seems unusual.

They at ARK wish it could have been done in a more elegant way. But the entire industry still has to figure out how such a transition from Early Access to a release model works.

GTA 5 Online: Shooting in PUBG Style Brings a Lot of Money, Is Fun

Dive into the contested battlefield via parachute: The new GTA 5 Online game mode “Dawn Raid” is packed with action and reminiscent of PUBG.

With new game modes in the online world of Grand Theft Auto V, the developers consistently provide variety. The latest adversary mode is called Dawn Raid and is reminiscent of popular survival games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

You jump from the helicopter onto the battlefield and battle there with heavy weapons over a delivery that needs to be brought to a drop-off point. Those still playing today will receive double GTA$ and RP for it.

Dawn Raid – Battlegrounds in GTA 5

In the new Dawn Raid game mode, two teams of up to 12 players compete against each other. You start the match with a jump from a helicopter positioned over the battlefield. After the jump, you steer your character with their parachute to any point on the map.

This entry into the battlefield is strongly reminiscent of the current Steam hit “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, where players also parachute onto the map and equip themselves with gear and weapons. In the GTA 5 game mode, however, you are already equipped with armor and weapons and can start shooting right away.

GTA 5 Online Dawn Raid Sprung2

Once on the ground, both teams in Dawn Raid aim to find a hidden supply crate on the map and bring it to a drop-off point. You are equipped with night vision and thermal cameras so you can better spot your opponents on the night maps.

Support your team in securing the supply crate by taking out enemies with sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, or shotguns. Anyone who dies spawns again in the helicopter and dives back into the battlefield. Did you remember the position of your killer? Then sneak close to them and fill them with lead from behind!

GTA 5 Online Dawn Raid Sprung

Dawn Raid is tactical and a lot of fun. In this mode, it’s not just about “mindless slaughter,” but also about tactics. Will you hide in “safe” buildings until the coast is clear, or will you rush with your entire team and try to get to the drop-off point as quickly as possible? Which method you use is up to you.

Until the end of today, July 10th, you will earn double GTA$ and RP in this mode – and it’s worth it:

Pokémon GO: Event messages with Mewtwo or “Luigia” are not official

Reports from “Lugia” and Mewtwo are spreading in social Pokémon GO networks. Enjoy these reports with caution or humor.

Alleged announcements or reports from legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo or “Lugia” are not official. These are partly unconfirmed leaks based on supposed insider information. Other reports mock these leaks and the attention they attract, and should be understood as “satire”.

So be careful which reports you believe and which ones you should take a second look at.

Mewtwo – Legendary Pokémon

Pokémon GO is celebrating its first birthday with a arena overhaul, new features in the game, and controversial anniversary boxes. For this special birthday, we can expect much more in the coming weeks. At least that’s what the developer Niantic says. These heightened expectations are being used by websites to spread false information.

Pokémon GO leak Argentina

Many trainers are eagerly waiting for the legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO that were promised for summer 2017. If a website claims, “We know on which day legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo will arrive,” then this news receives a lot of attention. Fans spread the news without comment on social media, and the creators of the fake news are happy about the thousands of clicks on their website.

On an Argentinian Pokémon GO website, there has recently been a report stating that legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo and others are supposed to appear on July 22 at 1:00 PM PDT (the same day the Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago takes place).

Furthermore, the report states that special Squirtle with sunglasses from the Squirtle Squad will be temporarily available in the game and that the game marks your Pokémon green or red based on their IV ratings. This IV detection is particularly questionable because Niantic has never talked about these values or hinted at anything in that direction.

Since the website “Pokemongolive.com.ar” is named similarly to the official website “Pokemongolive.com”, players believe that the site is “real” and that the information is therefore also “real”. However, this is a fan site that believed these pieces of information were real. Meanwhile, the post has been updated, and the site claims that it did not verify the sources enough.

Pokemon GO Mewtwo

It is clear that the legendary Pokémon will come in summer. When that will be is not officially confirmed yet.

“Lugia” – Super Mario meets gaming trend and Pokémon GO

Another news about legendary creatures is circulating, among others, in our Pokémon GO Facebook group. There is talk of a legendary event where you can catch the Pokémon “Lugia”. An apparently intentional misspelling (actually “Lugia”), because this news comes from Spieletrend and pokes fun at the other current “leaks”.

Pokémon GO Spieletrend

In the latest Pokémon GO video on the Spieletrend YouTube channel , it is mentioned how easy it is to create such fake news and how quickly they can circulate in Facebook groups. Here, you are also reminded to closely examine where you get your Pokémon GO information from and whether you can trust this content.

So far, there is no official announcement regarding an exact start date for legendary Pokémon such as Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, and others. We will keep you updated on this topic.

WoW: Limit drops out of the First-Kill race – too many players banned!

The WoW professional guild Limit is running out of players. The developers have banned too many players due to dubious dealings.

Currently, the race for the First Kill of Kil’Jaeden on Mythic difficulty in the Tomb of Sargeras is still ongoing in World of Warcraft. While Method and Exorsus are battling it out to see who will be the first to bring Kil’jaeden down on the planet Argus, another professional guild is throwing in the towel.

Limit is now sitting back and “enjoying” the race from a spectator’s perspective. The professional guild is no longer getting enough players into the raid to make real progress. The reason is not that the players have lost interest – rather, a large part has been banned.

Banned for Account Sharing and Real Money Services

Many members of Limit have violated the terms of service by carrying other players through raids for real money. They also bought second accounts to be able to progress with multiple characters – account sharing has also been a factor.

WoW Limit Guild Guldan Kill
Limit was still very much in the lead during the race in the Night Hold.

Some streamers are now complaining that Blizzard is intentionally slowing down certain guilds and favoring others. According to streamer Asmongold, it is an “open secret” that all professional guilds sell raid runs to earn a bit. He finds it unfair that one guild is punished so harshly while others are apparently “let off the hook”.

Kil'Jaeden-WoW

There is a certain irony in the fact that a guild in ToS (Tomb of Sargeras) cannot raid further because it violated the ToS (Terms of Service) of the game. It seems Limit has indeed reached its limit.

What do you think of Blizzard’s approach? Good thing to crack down so hard? Or should they also act against everyone at the same time?


Other professional guilds are currently complaining that they are just “beta testers” in the new raid.

FIFA 18: Schluss mit Fehlentscheidungen? – Schiedsrichter werden überarbeitet

In FIFA 18 there should be fewer wrong decisions on the pitch. The referees are being improved.

In hardly any game are joy and sorrow so closely intertwined as in the annual installment of the FIFA series. When you dominate an opponent overwhelmingly or score the winning goal in the last minutes of the game, the joy is indescribable. However, the mood can shift dramatically in the next game. A major frustration point is the referee.

Those who have played a few games in FIFA 17 will surely know such situations: You barely touch the opponent and still get a yellow card right away. In the same game, an opponent tackles you brutally from behind, such that in real football, the player would have broken all bones – and for that, there is only a warning. This is not fair, it is a wrong decision, it makes your pulse race.

Fifa 16 Referee

In an interview with Kicker, Creative Director Matthew Prior talks about the referees in FIFA 18. They are supposed to officiate the game better than in FIFA 17.

Referees in FIFA 18 are supposed to improve

Prior admits that there are strange behaviors of the referees in FIFA 17. EA Sports is working on it and hopes that these will not occur anymore soon.

He explains: The referee decisions are based on the Frostbite engine. This game engine was first introduced in FIFA 17. Physically, Frostbite is “very accurate”, however, some game situations do indeed look more extreme than they actually are. This leads to wrong decisions.

fifa-18-ronaldo

For FIFA 18, they have refined the logic. This is not a huge change – the major gameplay innovations in FIFA 18 can be found here – but it is still something they have worked on.

In FIFA 18, joy and sorrow will certainly still lie close together. Hopefully, the emotional outbursts will depend less on the adventurous referee decisions.

League of Legends: Too old for LoL! Grandpa is being pulled away from the PC

An older man was yanked away from his PC by his granddaughter. She thought he was too old for League of Legends and was just embarrassing the family.

The Asian-focused site 2p reports on a strange phenomenon. It is a video showing a gray-haired man being pulled away from his PC by his granddaughter. He was calmly playing a game of League of Legends.

2p states that the girl is apparently his granddaughter and she pulls him away saying, “League of Legends is for young people. Grandma has already prepared the food. So stop playing the game. You are embarrassing us.”

The young man next to the mismatched pair seems to find the situation quite amusing.

In the video, the man valiantly defends himself. But 2p says : Ultimately, he gave in, turned off the PC, and went home.

PC Bangs are a big deal in Asia

Mein-MMO says: It’s strange when gaming takes place in public like in China.

There, gaming has developed differently than in our context. In the West, there were once the large arcades with slot machines. We have shifted gaming into the players’ homes – we play on home consoles like PlayStation 4 or Xbox One within our own four walls.

Heimerdinger LoL

In China and South Korea, however, gaming has remained in public. In PC cafés, the so-called PC Bangs, online games are played excessively. PlayStation 4 or Xbox One hardly play a role in Asia. The social life of a generation partially takes place in these PC Bangs, which replace clubs and associations as they are common in the West.

There are interesting considerations as to why this is the case:

  • Poor hardware at home.
  • The “One-Child Policy” in China means that siblings are missing at home, and players yearn for company.
  • Asians simply have fewer problems playing together in public than we do.

Asian developers who come to the West marvel at how our gaming market functions at all without the crucial PC Bangs, so deeply are they rooted in daily life.

In any case, this difference leads to strange situations like this one.

The best PvE MMOs – These online games offer strong PvE

The Elder Scrolls Online

Even though Zenimax no longer officially refers to the game as an MMORPG, it still offers all the characteristics of this genre: a vast, open world filled with players and plenty of quests and monsters that you can fight. You can team up with other players at any time to complete tasks together.

ESO places great emphasis on telling exciting stories. Story is the focus. Although you can do much on your own, as the difficulty adjusts to your level, it is most enjoyable when you are out with good friends.

Conclusion: The Elder Scrolls Online excels primarily through its quests. If you want to dive deeper, the trials offer serious high-end content for which your hero must be optimized.

Destiny 2: Es gibt viel zu tun! – Lost Sectors, Schatzkarten und Abenteuer

In Destiny 2 the worlds are full of activities. Here is some in-game footage.

A few days ago, IGN released a video in which the heads of Destiny 2, Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy, talked about the idea behind the sequel. There was plenty of fresh footage in which the Sherlocks of the Guardian community discovered many interesting things.

Is this a “Lost Sector”?

For a few seconds, gameplay footage of the new Titan subclass “Sentinel” was visible. However, that’s not all there is to see:

destiny-2-code-cache

At the bottom left of the screen, there is a note that a cache code has been obtained – a code that can be used to open a hideout. Many in the community are now certain that this scene takes place in a Lost Sector.

Lost Sectors are enemy dungeons in Destiny 2. They are said to contain unique bosses that protect treasures. Luke Smith once described these activities as going in, killing a boss, stealing the key, and then accessing the loot. Now many speculate that a “cache code” is needed to access the loot in a Lost Sector.

A map full of activities

In the IGN video, which we embed at the end of the article, the map of Nessus is briefly presented. Nessus is one of the four worlds in Destiny 2 – a planetoid transformed by the Vex:

destiny-nessus-map

Three different symbols are presented:

  • The white crosshairs are treasure maps. What these treasure maps entail is not yet known. A few weeks ago, Smith revealed that there will be a new endgame activity called “Flashpoints”. These are said to be weekly missions where there will be plenty to do in specific locations in the worlds – Smith mentioned treasure maps and special monsters that will appear. Presumably, these treasure maps are related to the Flashpoints.
destiny-adventures
  • The Adventures are indicated by the symbol of a sword. There are plenty of these on the map. The Adventures are short missions where players can learn more about the “Destiny 2” universe and the characters living within it. The rewards are also directly displayed on the map.
destiny-öffentliche-events
  • Public Events will also be present in Destiny 2. You will now see directly which event it is and – particularly cool – when the event starts. This way, you won’t be wandering around the planet hoping that an event will begin at some point. The rewards, blue and purple engrams, will also be indicated.
  • On the map, there are additional symbols that the cursor did not hover over. In the last image, a symbol showing a crown is displayed on the far right, slightly below the middle. In Destiny 1, this sign symbolized the next mission step that needed to be played.
  • Below the crown symbol is another symbol: a circle with a triangle inside. Several of these can be found on the map. Most likely, these indicate various landing points where you can fast travel.

PUBG: Power Armor, sexy hotpants & poisoned apples – Datamining

A dataminer found all sorts of new items in the code of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that currently do not exist in the game. Among them are a Sci-Fi power armor, camo-patterned hot pants, and even an allegedly poisonous apple!

Battlegrounds

In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, you buy crates with cosmetic items using your in-game currency. So far, the items have been quite rudimentary everyday clothes. Most players looked like they had just been thrown from an office into the merciless survival struggle on a deserted Eastern Bloc island.

But apparently, there are all sorts of cool clothes and items in the game’s code that you have never seen in the game before.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds meets Mad Max and Fallout

Dataminer and Reddit user DevinWatson dug through the files of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and found a number of items that are currently not available in the game. Among them were the following items:

  • Post-apocalyptic armors and leather jackets that could come straight out of Mad Max or Fallout
  • Punk clothing
  • Skins for backpacks and sports bags
  • A leather coat with a hood
  • Sexy camo hot pants
  • A syringe with a mysterious substance
  • An apple that was stored under “grenades” and is called “Poison Apple”
  • A complete space power armor!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Datamining costumes just placeholders?

The power armor, in terms of style, does not quite fit into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. According to the dataminer, the space armor is likely just a placeholder as it was found in a test folder. However, the other items might well have a future in the game and could possibly come with a new content update.

Unreleased PUBG Items / Skins

The syringe and the apple could in particular hint at cool new buffs. If you want to get a look at the new items, we have embedded DevinWatson’s Imgur gallery here. Have fun!


What do you think of the discovered items? Do you find them nice or all ugly and inappropriate for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? And do you think they will ever make it into the game? Let us know in the comments!

In The Division, a powerful Classified Gear set can destroy PvP. However, it needs a buff.

Update 1.7 introduces Classified Gear in The Division . Currently, some of these armor pieces can be tested on the PC-PTS, such as the “Lone Hero” set.

Division expert Skill Up took a closer look at this Classified set and concluded: It can destroy PvP – however, it still needs a buff.

What can the Classified version of “Lone Hero” do?

The classified armor pieces offer two significant advantages:

  • Each armor piece guarantees higher primary attributes (Firearms, Stamina, Electronics) than your previous gear set items.
  • If you wear 5 or 6 classified armor pieces, a 5-set bonus or 6-set bonus will become active.
    division-einsamer-held

If you have equipped all armor slots with Classified “Lone Hero”, you will receive these bonuses:

  • 2-set bonus: +100% ammunition capacity
  • 3-set bonus: +8% LMG damage and +8% shotgun damage
  • 4-set bonus: Talent – When the weapon is holstered again, it is instantly reloaded.
  • 5-set bonus: +50% ammunition capacity, +8% LMG damage, +8% shotgun damage – These additional 8% damage are enormous!
  • 6-set bonus: When a weapon has only 25% of the magazine left, there is a 50% chance that you will receive the following bonuses when the last bullet of the magazine is fired: The magazine is instantly reloaded, weapon damage is increased by 15%, rate of fire is increased by 25%, but stability and precision are reduced by 15%. These bonuses disappear as soon as you reload or leave the combat.

What does this mean? This 6-set bonus works like this:

  • You shoot until only 25% of the bullets are left in your magazine.
  • Then there is a 50% chance that the talent activates. If it activates, this green symbol will be displayed:
    division symbol lone star
  • Now you know: As soon as the last shot of the magazine is fired, the bonuses listed above will activate. The green symbol alone does not grant you any bonuses. It only indicates that the bonuses will be guaranteed active with the last shot of the magazine.
  • This talent is especially useful with LMGs.

6-set bonus in PvP – Extremely strong

To get the most out of this set, a special playstyle is necessary. While the increased damage from the 3-set and 5-set bonuses is always active, with the 6-set bonus you need to rely a bit on luck. Especially in PvP, you can also “force” this luck.

Before a “Agent vs. Agent” fight, shoot your magazines empty until the green symbol appears. Now wait until you encounter an enemy agent (the symbol for the upcoming damage boost does not expire). When you meet an enemy, fire the last bullet and you can immediately shoot at him with increased damage and increased rate of fire.

division-agent-waffe

+15% weapon damage and +25% rate of fire are an enormous DPS boost. If you don’t miss all your shots, you have a significant advantage in combat.

In PvE, the 6-set bonus will likely be stronger

In PvE, when you have to face hordes of enemies, it doesn’t make sense to “force” this bonus and shoot aimlessly until the bonus activates. Instead, you will always shoot at the enemies, and when the 6-set bonus becomes active, you will simply have these advantages.

Many users do not like this randomness. They prefer “reliable bonuses”. After all, you have no control over whether the green symbol appears when you reach 25% of the magazine.

Moreover: Especially in comparison to the new Classified Striker set, “Lone Hero” is significantly weaker in PvE. That set offers not only damage boosts but also healing boosts, making it the first choice for solo players. And Massive has already announced that the Classified Gear is supposed to remain strong.

The-Division-Pakham

In other words, “Lone Hero” needs a buff to remain competitive in PvE. It cannot compete with the Striker set.

An example of a possible buff: The 6-set bonus could affect the entire team in PvE. However, not in the Dark Zone or in Last Stand.

By the way: This Classified set could finally make high-speed magazines useful. Most users are undoubtedly playing with Extended Magazines. But with this set, it is at least an interesting option to equip high-speed magazines to activate the 6-set bonus faster.

Have you already tested this Classified set?

WoW: Professional guilds complain “We are just beta testers”

The race for the mythical Firstkill of Kil’jaeden in WoW is on. However, the professional guilds Method and Exorsus are not really interested anymore.

So far, Kil’jaeden, the current final boss of World of Warcraft, has not been defeated on the mythical difficulty in the raid instance “Tomb of Sargeras”. This is also because only two guilds have reached him at all – Method and Exorsus. However, both guilds are not having much fun racing for the Firstkill, as they have some significant complaints.

WoW Tomb of Sargeras All 9

Both guilds are complaining on Twitter that they do not feel like players in the Tomb of Sargeras, but rather like members of quality assurance. Some abilities and time periods in the Tomb are so absurd that one has to wonder if they were even tested.

As Scott McMillan from Method says:

“I wish Blizzard would be much quicker with the tuning. Some mechanics and timings in the fights are just ridiculous – it’s demotivating when these fights feel untested.”

They find it particularly annoying that the previous raid, the Night Hold, was almost perfect in terms of tuning and Blizzard responded very quickly to bug reports. Bugs were often fixed within a few hours with a hotfix, allowing for progress. As Exorsus states:

“That we now feel like internal QA members is really underwhelming after the good Night Hold raid.”

Even with the Fallen Avatar, the previous boss, there were some complaints. Many community members thought that it was mathematically impossible to defeat the boss under legal conditions. However, at least two guilds have proven that it is still possible.

As soon as one of the two guilds sends Kil’Jaeden to the ground, we will report on it.

Real women are only for casuals – Marry an anime character in VR!

Real women are only for casuals. Those who are really cool marry an anime girl these days.

The culture surrounding anime and its characters has changed rapidly in recent years. While “anime nerds” were initially labeled as otaku who escape into anime worlds and spend all day consuming series featuring scantily clad big-eyed girls, that perception has changed significantly. Most otakus are proud of their lifestyle, and thanks to the internet, they can always find like-minded people to indulge in nerd culture together.

Lovelyxcation Anime Wedding Girls

Rarely do silly remarks like “You won’t get a girl in real life as long as you’re ogling cartoon girls” help. And while that might be true in some cases, Japan has now found a solution for that.

As we all know, real women cannot compete with the qualities of anime girls—so why not marry one?

Do you want to love and honor her until the power outage separates you?

A new VR game from the developer Hibiki allows exactly that. With a VR headset, players can marry the anime girl of their dreams (“waifu”) in LovelyxCation. This includes a complete ceremony with a priest, guests, and of course, the desired wife.

Lovelyxcation Anime Wedding Kiss

For the obligatory wedding kiss, there’s even a small addition—a sponge that simulates the kiss of the lady.

Since this is Japan we are talking about, it surely won’t be long before there’s an “18+” patch that also includes the wedding night and honeymoon.

In this sense, let me leave you with an important life lesson: No waifu no laifu. Have a nice day.

What do you think of this kind of virtual reality? Absolute nonsense for unrealistic nerds? Or just a funny idea that one should try out? Let us know in the comments!

Overwatch: The game is balanced – even with overpowered heroes?

Many complain about the balance of Overwatch . However, Jeff Kaplan is satisfied, even if some heroes are out of line.

Jeff Kaplan is one of the few developers from Blizzard who regularly hangs out in the official Overwatch forum and comments on many topics. Periodically, there is an outcry in the forum that the “current meta” is far too boring and that Blizzard should do something about it.

Kaplan addressed this in a very long post and explained when and why balancing occurs and why it sometimes does not.

Overwatch Roadhog Tuckered Out

In general, Kaplan believes that Overwatch is currently balanced. By this, he means that there are no heroes who are too strong or too weak. However, this does not mean that all heroes are in a perfect situation. A current example is Roadhog. The elimination of the one-shot combo was necessary, but now Roadhog is not in the position where they would like him to be.

Another issue is Mercy’s resurrection. Currently, it’s not fun for anyone, neither for Mercy nor for the opposing team. However, this is not a “game breaker”, so they could take their time here until a solid solution is found.

Furthermore, balance is also heavily dependent on the perception of the players. For example, Symmetra and Torbjörn are considered too good, as their win rates are significantly above average. However, there is no major outcry in the community that Torbjörn and Symmetra need to be nerfed urgently.

Overwatch Symmetra Posing

The perception of balance is often much more important than the actual balance. This also explains why Symmetra is hardly played, despite her win rate being particularly high.

However, Kaplan is also proud that the team stands by their decisions and defends them sometimes against community protests. For example, after D.Va’s nerf, there was a lot of hatred directed at the developers, and a large part of the players claimed that this character is now “ruined”.

“There were megathreads after megathreads demanding that she be buffed. But we stood by our decision and believed it was good. We did not touch her. And now she is one of the dominant heroes in the current ‘Dive Meta’ – and obviously does not need a buff.”

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Game Director

How do you like the current balance in Overwatch? Is the game okay or is something radically too strong or too weak?

You can find the complete, very extensive post by Jeff Kaplan in our sources.


How about Overwatch as a Netflix series? A fan has already envisioned it!

Warframe hatte Angst vor Destiny – hat aber keine vor Anthem

The SF coop shooter Warframe was worried years ago when it first saw Destiny. But the new game Anthem is met with calmness.

Warframe is currently hosting TennoCon, its own trade show. This provides an opportunity for interviews. In a conversation with PcGamesN, Community Producer Rebecca Ford talked about Warframe’s competitors from AAA publishers.

Warframe is often compared to Destiny . The new BioWare game “Anthem” features Exo-suits and reminded many of Warframe when it was presented at E3. What does Digital Extremes think about the competition?

There’s always fear when you see a potential rival

This is now the second time that they have noticed the “twin syndrome” and thought: “Oh no, another SF coop game,” Ford tells.

When they first saw Destiny back then, they were scared. You always get scared when you spot a potential rival, says Ford.

anthem-game

Science fiction is in, you should play it

Now with Anthem, they are looking at the situation more calmly. Yes, even the Digital Extremes staff have noticed that there are similarities between Anthem and Warframe, but they are not worried.

Ford says: “When I saw it, it looked different enough from us that our target audience will understand that science fiction is in right now, and you should play as much science fiction as you want. Once someone has tasted science fiction, they want more of it.”

warframe1

Those who like Anthem will also hear about Warframe. And those who like Warframe will also like Anthem, thinks Ford. This competition helps each other. According to Ford’s experience, this is always a good experience for the community.

If the community gets lost in a world they love, it’s good. Whether it’s the world of Warframe or another one.


At TennoCon, there’s more than just interviews. Warframe is taking a step toward an open world in 2017:

In its own eyes, Warframe has long been in the concert of the greats, and the fact that Titanfall 2 and the 2016 Call of Duty were so weak might also be due to Warframe:

FIFA 17 – Summer Transfers: These players are already in their new clubs

The summer transfers in FIFA 17 are running. These players have already changed their clubs in Ultimate Team. All transfers at a glance. 

You don’t have to wait until FIFA 18 to play with Tolisso at Bayern, Pollersbeck at Hamburg, or Maximilian Philipp at Dortmund. EA Sports has released a number of summer transfers in FUT 17 to keep the game current and reflect the events of the real transfer market.

With the start of the FUTTIES season, nearly 750 new player cards with the adjusted clubs have been released. Here you will find all of them in the overview.

FIFA 17 FUT – Tolisso and Co. – All previous summer transfers

Since July 7, you can pull these summer transfers in the packs. You can sort the table as you like by clicking on “Club”, for example. Or you can directly enter the name in the “Search” field. If you want to see all summer transfers to FC Bayern, it is sufficient to enter “Bayern” in the search field:

Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.

Information about the summer transfers in FIFA 17

  • These summer transfer cards are now available in sets. They replace the previous standard cards of the respective players. This means you can no longer pull these players with their old clubs from the packs.
  • If you own a player who now receives a summer transfer card, nothing happens to your card. It keeps the previous club. If you want a card of the player with the new club, you need to pull it from a set or acquire it on the transfer market.
  • If a player transfers to a club that is not licensed in FIFA 17, he will disappear from the packs.
  • You can own both the old and the new card of a player. However, only one can be used in the team.
  • What advantages do the summer transfers have for me? Since the players have new clubs, fresh combinations are possible to create teams with high chemistry.

Throughout the summer, EA Sports is likely to integrate even more summer transfers into the game.
