WoW: Mehr Mounts, Spielzeuge und Pets – die geheimen Belohnungen von 7.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

Aside from the obvious class mount, there are many other secret rewards for the classes in WoW. We have prepared a list for you.

A long-awaited feature of Patch 7.2 will soon be accessible. Starting tomorrow (06.06.2017), in World of Warcraft the specific class mounts will be available, which players can finally earn. However, some classes will also enjoy some special additional rewards! They will receive additional mounts (in several color variations), special toys, or exclusive pets that are only available for that particular class.

wow-legion-classmount-mage
In addition to the mounts, there are more rewards!

To obtain the special rewards, a number of conditions must be met that are the same for all classes.

  • The class mount must have already been earned (including the “Assault on the Tomb” achievement)
  • The achievement “Exhausted Potential” must be achieved – so all traits of a specific artifact weapon must be unlocked. Important: If there are multiple rewards for different specializations of a class, each artifact weapon must also be fully upgraded! Example: for a “Frost” reward, the Frost artifact weapon must be completed

Each of the following rewards costs 1,000 Order Resources at the respective vendor in the Order Hall.

Death Knight

Death Knights have access to three special pets. Depending on the specialization, there is a different undead dragon.

WoW 72 Belohnung DK Blut

Blood: Bloodbrood Whelpling

WoW 72 Belohnung DK Frost

Frost: Frostbrood Whelpling

WoW 72 Belohnung DK Unheilig

Unholy: Vilebrood Whelpling

Demon Hunter

Demon Hunters have a fearsome companion that makes itself comfortable on the player’s head. They receive A tiny War Glaive set, with which they can place Demon Hunter Pepe on their head!

Mages are waiting for a small toy. Because a world-class mage naturally lets their battle pets stylishly float around – on a hovering platform that resembles the mage mount! For this, they simply buy the Magical Saucer.

Unfortunately, there are no pictures available yet.

Monk

The friends of alcohol and peculiar fighting styles get an exclusive companion by their side. They are greeted by Ban-Fu, Pup of Ban-Lu.

Paladins

Since not all paladins look alike and a human’s horse is indeed color-inappropriate for a Draenei, they receive additional colors tied to the specific artifact weapons.

Rogue

Rogues will receive three different additional variants of their raven. Additionally, all “Pirates” (especially Outlaw Rogues) can look forward to a small parrot – as it should be. However, this one is obtained through a small quest chain that starts in the Order Hall.

WoW 72 Belohnung Rogue Sublety

Subtlety: Infested Reins of the Dark Harbinger

WoW 72 Belohnung Rogue Outlaw

Outlaw: Bloody Reins of the Dark Harbinger

WoW 72 Belohnung Rogue Assassination

Warlock

WoW 72 Belohnung Warlock

Warlocks have an additional coloration for their mount. Those who do not like the spooky purple and prefer a “classic fiery horse” can simply buy the Felfire Reins of the Quarrelsome Steed from Calydus.

If your class is not listed, then there is no special feature for it – or it was not revealed beforehand on the PTR.

Blizzard has already announced that in the future (in the next expansion) pets and toys will be easier to obtain. They do not want anyone to be forced to grind for several classes in the next expansion when the content is no longer current.

The Division: Become the PvE Killing Machine – Striker Build 1.6.1

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, we present a build centered around the Striker set. With this, you’ll clean up nicely in New York!

For almost two weeks now, loadouts have been in the game. Now you can create, save, and quickly switch between up to six builds.

If you’re looking for a new build idea, Agent Lt Buzz Litebeer has a suggestion for you. He presents his “Solo Striker” build, which turns his character into a PvE killing machine. What can this build do?

A Striker Build for Solo Agents – The Division 1.6.1

This character setup does not rely on high electronics stats or skills like the seeker mine, but is focused on DPS and raw firepower. The agent is convinced that it is the best build to fight through elite enemies in PvE.

These are the armor pieces:

  • Chest piece: Striker – with bonuses to enemy armor damage, health points, and ammo capacity (mods for firearms and health points)
  • Mask: Striker – with bonuses to health points on kill and “Blind and Deaf” resistance (mod for firearms and health points)
  • Knee pads: Striker – with bonuses to health points, damage to elite, and “On Fire” resistance (mod with firearms and health points as well as first aid self-healing)
  • Holster: Striker – with bonuses to reload speed (mod with first aid self-healing)
  • Backpack: Nomad – with bonuses to stability and “On Fire” resistance (mod with firearms, health points, and first aid self-healing)
  • Gloves: Nomad – with bonuses to assault rifle damage, crit damage, and health points on kill

With the Striker’s combat gear, you gain +20% stability, +10% enemy armor damage, and the bonus that each successive hit deals +1% more damage. The bonus can reach up to 100%. Misses decrease it by 2%. The bonus decreases by 1% per second.

The 2-piece bonus from the Nomad grants +15% health points on kill. This bonus is important for this build, as you deal a lot of damage but must be careful how you stay alive. This bonus increases your chances of survival.

division-build-stirker
The weapon of the build

The primary weapon is the assault rifle M4 Lightweight. It has an enemy armor damage of 23% (very high) as well as the talents Brutal (+12% headshot damage), Vulnerable (+10% damage when within 10 meters of the enemy), and Vindictive (damage increases based on missing health). For the mods, a larger magazine, headshot damage, and crits are focused on.

The skills:

  • First Aid with the Overdose mod
  • Medical Station with the Savior mod

The character talents:

  • Adrenaline: The “First Aid Kit” heals for 10 seconds and does not stop healing when taking damage
  • Emergency Medicine: A first aid kit at low health increases damage resistance by 20% for 10 seconds
  • On the Move: Killing an enemy while in motion reduces damage taken by 15% for 10 seconds
  • One is None: A headshot gives a 50% chance to not consume the bullet

Destiny 2: Raids for Everyone – Is Bungie’s Solution Better than WoW?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2 a long-held player wish is fulfilled: automatic matchmaking for the really tough challenges, a raid finder. But this only works on Bungie’s terms. Is Bungie’s solution better than WoW’s weakened LFR raids?

We previously reported that Destiny 2 fulfills some of the players’ major wishes, but not in the way they envisioned.

The wish to “finally fix the balancing” results in Destiny 2, for example, in no percentage changes, but a new “weapon system.”

destiny-2-pvp-hüter

In a similar way, Bungie fulfills another old player wish: matchmaking – even for raids. 

Like WoW a few years ago, Destiny also wants to get as many players as possible to raid but is taking different approaches than WoW.

The Wish

In Destiny 1, automatic matchmaking works for almost everything except really difficult things like the 3-man Nightfall strike (PvE/Nightfall), the 3-man Trials of Osiris (PvP), or the 6-man raid (PvE).

The players also wish for automatic matchmaking for these tough activities.

In Destiny 1, players helped each other

Players solved the issue of missing matchmaking for these activities in Destiny 1 by themselves:

Matchmaking was outsourced from Destiny 1 to other websites or services.

destiny-2-handfeuerwaffe

Only 50% of players have seen the raid – hurdle for social contact too high

However: It hasn’t really worked “super” – especially in PvE.

As Bungie announced, only 50% of all players in Destiny 1 have seen a raid. And Bungie is so proud of the raids. So a solution is needed, more people should at least try the raids and the endgame of Destiny.

The problem is: the hurdle is too high to reach out to other people through Facebook groups and approach strangers. Time and again, players express they don’t want to do that. They expect to find a group within Destiny – not outside of it.

destiny 2 hüter_story_heroic_01

This is what players wanted

The players’ demand was : automatic matchmaking for everything – I want to press a button and then be in a group and start.

However, Bungie was against this demand, stating: If six completely strangers join a raid and don’t communicate, they often die, are frustrated, and have a bad gaming experience. We definitely don’t want that.

According to Bungie, these “hard activities” are designed for groups where the guardians communicate with each other – meaning they use voice chat and are so closely connected that setbacks don’t lead to the group breaking up immediately.

destiny-2-logo

This is how Bungie is solving it in Destiny 2 – Guided Games

Bungie’s solution: existing groups can take on “individual players” through a matchmaking system. The idea is, that the existing group does most of the work and the individual players learn to adapt and cope with them. The motto is: four people know what they are doing – the other two just do what everyone else does, and it’ll be fine.

Bungie’s intention is clear: they want to encourage individual players to join groups. From “mixed team of 4+2” fixed teams should emerge.

It’s an interesting concept – gently guiding players to where they want them to be. The idea is: once lone wolves have overcome the hurdle of playing with others in raids, they will see how great and easy it is – the hurdle lowers and the matter is settled.

destiny-2-ghaul

Interesting social experiment, but hopefully the raids won’t be too easy now

However: Problems and questions are already emerging with the new system:

  • The question is whether Bungie will also adjust the difficulty of the raid. Even in Destiny 1, a lot of players wished for the Nightfall and the raids to be more challenging. Especially the “hard modes” of the raid should have been more challenging. If the raids are now designed to be cleared by “4+2”, raids could be made easier.
  • Another danger is also clear: If a raid goes wrong, the “others” are to blame: the so-called “randoms”, the randomly taken players, are too weak and become the scapegoats – this could also lead to difficulties in the Trials of Osiris.
  • Will enough fixed groups take on new players to keep the waiting time manageable?
  • Will it be possible to specifically search for German groups?

These are the risks and still open questions of the new Guided Games system.

WoW Fanart Demon Hunter

LFR variant with “kindergarten raids” like in WoW would have been an option

In the MMORPG WoW, they had the same problem as Destiny 1 : too few people saw the raids. Many developer hours and important story steps are hidden in the raids. It’s frustrating when players keep hearing about a villain in quests but never see him because he’s the final boss in a raid they will never enter.

In WoW, Blizzard created a “kindergarten edition” of the raid at the end of 2011, which could also be completed by a group without any communication or coordination: the LFR raids. These were introduced at the end of the 3rd WoW expansion “Cataclysm.”

Destiny 2.6

Players were allowed to enter these “LFR raids” through an automated matchmaking system. This led to every WoW player being able to see the raids without any problems.

However: the loot in this version of the raid was significantly weaker than the loot in the “real raid.”

This would also have been a possible solution for Destiny 2. But: In WoW, they had only mediocre experiences with the “LFR raids.” Some WoW players believe that this solution devalued the entire raiding experience in WoW, trivializing the raids. The appeal of the “real raiding” has disappeared, it’s no longer special.

It’s understandable why Bungie chose differently here.

The “Guided Games” groups, with the 4+2 composition, will be in the same raids as the 6-man groups.

It’s definitely an interesting experiment. It will be exciting to see if Bungie’s solution works. If it does, it could become a widely used answer to a common MMORPG problem: too few players seeing the end content.

With Destiny 2, developers from other online games with strong PvE elements will surely scrutinize Destiny 2 and its Guided Games closely. Perhaps Bungie has come up with an innovative solution.

What do you think? Would you join a raid group as an individual player? Or would you complement your raid as part of an existing group?

ESO erwartete Fans von Elder Scrolls, bekam Hardcore-MMO-Spieler

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online was intended to reach a mass audience, but only attracted hardcore MMO players. This needed to change.

The site Glixel conducted an interview with the head of ESO, Matt Firor. This sheds light on some new facts.

Skyrim changed the development

Matt Firor Zenimax
Producer Matt Firor.

Without Skyrim, ESO would have looked different than we know it today.

The first systems for ESO emerged between 2008 and 2010 – back then, players had different ideas about what a “The Elder Scrolls” should be, then came 2011 and Skyrim. This changed player perception. Suddenly, levels in Elder Scrolls were no longer important.

Even then, there were considerations at ESO to do away with player levels, but it was ultimately decided against this, as the step would have been too drastic to redesign an existing massive, level-based world.

Ultimately, this step was taken with “One Tamriel” – levels now played a significantly smaller role than at launch. Most game content was now level-independent and accessible to everyone.

ESO Morrowind The Elder Scrolls Online

The Skyrim-ification of The Elder Scrolls Online began during development

Even though this point was implemented a few years late: Skyrim had a significant influence on ESO during development:

Due to Skyrim

  • ESO switched to first-person perspective
  • ESO adopted a smaller hotbar
  • ESO moved combat to the mouse buttons
  • Zenimax overall did much to make the game feel less like an MMO and more like an RPG.

Success eluded at launch

At launch in 2014, The Elder Scrolls Online still fell short of high expectations. According to Firor, it was not a flop in that sense, but it could not reach the “mass market” that the Elder Scrolls single-player games had.

Zenimax had expected to reach the “mass of users”, the fans of Elder Scrolls, with ESO, but instead received “hardcore MMO gamers.” They logged in every day and played.

elder scrolls online one tamriel duelle

Zenimax oriented itself around them when reshaping the game. Firor says: We simply did more of what the players wanted and less of what they didn’t want. For this, data collected and personal experience were utilized.

For the Justice system, for example, players wanted to go out and steal something – so they were given the ability to do it in a sandbox form without quests.

If you have something to build on, you can also be successful

Firor was already of the opinion in 2014 that ESO was fundamentally something good. You just had to loosen the systems and free the players from constraints, then success would follow, Firor believed.

You had players who played every day and thus something to build on. And when you have something to build on, you can make it more successful, thinks Firor.

Through the Champion system, players should now be able to customize their heroes as they wish, without having to grind veteran levels.

esokronenkisten

The mood in the studio after the release was never really down despite the issues; the sentiment was: “Okay, we did this so far. That didn’t work. We didn’t see that coming, but we can handle it.”

Head angry that there are no underwater contents in ESO

Meanwhile, success has arrived. However, Firor is still a bit bothered by one thing. He is a big fan of “underwater content.”

But … the Elder Scrolls series is not known for excelling here. Plans for underwater content were scrapped one day because there wasn’t enough time. Firor says: “I was pretty pissed about that, but it was probably just me.” Firor seems to have made peace with it now.

elder scrolls online stilstube

We are now really successful

They are now “really successful”, a lot of people play the game, they are now in Japan and are doing a lot of different things. At the moment, they are effectively rebranding the game as “Morrowind,” bringing new players to ESO and have created a new tutorial.

Anyone who has never played the old ESO can now simply jump in with Morrowind. They are really doing a lot of cool things and that is only possible because they were successful enough to play a bit with the formula.

On Tuesday, the next chapter in the history of The Elder Scrolls Online, the Morrowind expansion, begins. We were able to test it already:

Finally, the time has come – players can earn their special class mounts in World of Warcraft. What you need to do can be found here.

At the last BlizzCon, it was one of the major topics – the contents of World of Warcraft Patch 7.2. One of the most desired features was the class-specific mounts, which were presented more than half a year ago. When Patch 7.2 went live more than two months ago, disappointment was great – the mounts are only available at the end of a weeks-long quest chain. But now the time has finally come! Starting tomorrow morning (Tuesday, 06.06.2017), the different Class Mounts can be unlocked.

Class Mounts in WoW available from 06.06

If you are just now starting the quest chain on the Broken Shore, you have a lot of work ahead of you. In the past two months, a new quest has been unlocked every week. Only at the very end of all these quest lines of the Legion judges is the achievement “Assault on the Tomb” and thus access to the class mount.

If you plan to complete it “in one go”, you should allow a little more time. Because among other things, 10 world quests on the Broken Shore must be completed, a Legion invasion must be fended off, and a specific order mission must be completed. The entire achievement will therefore take several days even in the fastest case.

wow-legion-classmount-priest

However, those who have stayed “on the ball” so far should already be able to complete the last step starting tomorrow, which will once again begin on the Broken Shore.

We have already presented all class mounts in Patch 7.2 in detail in this article.

The class-specific mounts are a great way to gain a bit more individuality in World of Warcraft. Almost all mounts receive a special coloring for their respective specialization. Thus, even within the same class, there is variety.

Blizzard has revealed why the first raid in every expansion is so easy.

Overwatch: Roadogs Haken hat einen neuen Bug! – Die PotGs der Woche

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Roadhog’s Hook is finally fixed? Not at all! Our Plays of the Game from Overwatch show what funny things are now possible.

Every week, absurd, thrilling, or simply funny moments happen in Overwatch , often captured in a “Play of the Game”. We searched social media and picked out three special highlights for you. Enjoy our 3 “Plays of the Game” moments of the week in Overwatch!

Whoever is the coolest kid on the playground in Overwatch spices up their “Play of the Game” with a fitting spray logo or emote. The really stylish moves happen when you spray the logo just before the actual moment. This happened to Brizzle as Reaper on the map Eichenwalde. After he killed some enemies and then resurrected Mercy, he knew that his time had come. It’s only barely visible in the recording, but the “Sarcastic Shrug” spray couldn’t be set more perfectly!

https://gfycat.com/GiantWellwornGrassspider

Roadhog’s Hook has a long history full of bugs and strange behaviors. Even in its current version, it’s not perfect yet. Pros like ScrapDraft have already perfected it and exploit a new quirk. If you break your line of sight to the hook’s victim at just the right moment, the hook won’t break but instead hurls the target towards Roadhog – and beyond! This video shows how that looks in action, including an unbelieving WHAT from the opponent.

https://gfycat.com/AccomplishedFarDaddylonglegs

The Reinhardt Express often leads to complete kill streaks. Often, 2 or 3 opponents fly off the map at the same time. But when everything aligns, you can take a few more enemies along over the river Jordan! Indjim shows what a flawless charge looks like – this should certainly secure the control point for his team.

https://gfycat.com/WickedSoupyAiredale

Did you also experience a particularly cool game scene that you captured on video? Then just send us a link to the video and maybe you’ll find your clip in this post next week!

Have you seen the funniest way to capture the flag as Reinhardt? A very “stormy” event!

LoL: You could soon become the LoL manager in a new game

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A leak suggests that a manager simulator is planned for League of Legends, where you can become the boss of an eSports team.

There are already successful simulators for various game genres, where you can become managers or bosses of football clubs or transport companies. A manager simulation for League of Legends could be just right for fans who are frustrated with managing their favorite LoL team and think they could do it better themselves.

A leak shows images of such a mobile game that Tencent is allegedly working on.

LoL Simulator “Code Season 7”

According to a leak from the Chinese forum site “NGA”, Tencent is currently working on a mobile game called Code Season Seven. In this game, you can lead your own League of Legends team and make important decisions.

Based on the leaked screenshots, it is suspected that Code Season 7 has all the important licenses to use team logos. For example, you can see the logos of RNG, Echo Fox, and KT Rolster there.

In one screenshot, you can also see that the player “Rookie” has killed his opponent “Faker”. It is therefore suspected that the game even has the rights to use the real player names from the professional scene of League of Legends.

Manager simulators are popular among players, as can be seen from the large number of football managers available online. It is quite possible that such a simulation will also be implemented for the eSports sector. A game that focuses on the Korean StarCraft 2 scene is SC2VN. However, it looks more like a novel in which players can participate.

There is still no official statement from Tencent regarding Code Season 7. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the game will be released worldwide.

The first raid of an expansion is easy

When designing new raids, there is one exception for each expansion: the first raid is always easier than all the following ones. The reason for this is the high chance that the first raid instance will be the first raid for many players.

WoW Tomb of Sargeras Four 1

Here, newcomers can still have a bit of fun and achieve successes more quickly. In the patches that follow, less consideration is taken, which is why the Trial of Valor, the Night Hold, and the Tomb of Sargeras are each harder than the Emerald Nightmare.

The development of boss fights often takes strange turns. It frequently happens that developers create a fight designed for the “normal” difficulty. During the first testing, they then notice that the fight has so many mechanics that it is actually already a “mythic” encounter. Then, numbers are often adjusted (damage, cooldowns, etc.) and abilities for the easier difficulty levels are removed or otherwise adjusted.

Not every raid needs a mythic bonus phase

With end bosses, there is often a “hidden” boss on mythic or a special phase that only exists in the mythic difficulty. However, contrary to what fans expect, this is not set in stone.

WoW Varimathras

The developers simply look to see if something presents itself – like the additional “The Demon Within” phase in the Gul’dan fight. However, there is no fixed concept that every raid must have an “extra phase” on mythic.

By the way, in the Tomb of Sargeras, we can expect that the environment of a fight will be much more incorporated into the fight. This is likely to include destructible platforms and “Line of Sight” pillars.

Ashes of Creation is having stress with gaming site: “Hype wave and clickbait”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The fantasy MMORPG Ashes of Creation has come into conflict with the gaming press. It concerns the controversial referral model.

Ashes of Creation: Crowdfunding continues in June

Ashes of Creation is a fantasy MMORPG that has made headlines in recent weeks with a successful Kickstarter campaign. The highly ambitious project has raised $3,271,809. The Kickstarter campaign has now ended, but it will still accept money through crowdfunding.

Ashes of Creation says: We will continue crowdfunding in June via our own website to accommodate everyone who prefers to pay via PayPal, which Kickstarter does not support.

Referral issues and communication difficulties

While the Kickstarter campaign was still running, one of the largest gaming sites in the world, PC Gamer, critically examined the model behind “Ashes of Creation”.

One author introduced the game and noted some “problems”, such as the Ashes of Creation team lacking references and experience. Therefore, it is questionable whether they can truly achieve their lofty goals.

The main point of criticism is the company’s “referral system”: People receive money (15%) for getting others to sign up for the game through their referral links and ultimately spending money in Ashes of Creation. This primarily motivates YouTubers with large audiences to promote the game.

Interestingly, these referral rewards can also be cashed out.

The problem: Such a referral system actually contradicts the rules of Kickstarter. Anyone participating in a project through Kickstarter cannot financially benefit from it.

Then the issue gets a bit complicated:

In the PC Gamer article, it was mentioned that they had inquired with Kickstarter what they thought of the referral system. It would be against the rules of Kickstarter. Following this, Kickstarter contacted Ashes of Creation, and they removed the referral: Kickstarter donations no longer counted towards this referral program.

“That’s a flat-out lie” – Misunderstanding was likely Kickstarter’s fault

However, that was not true. The studio did not implement these changes.

The head of Ashes of Creation feels that he and his game have been treated unfairly by the article. He accuses PC Gamer of lying: “That’s a flat-out lie.” Kickstarter did not require the change.

The problem is likely: Kickstarter thought that they had demanded changes from Ashes of Creation – but they formulated so vaguely what exactly they should change that they now want to let the matter rest. In the future, they intend to communicate such matters more clearly.

According to information from MassivelyOp, the “Ashes of Creation” head, Steven Sharif, reacted quite strongly to the PC Gamer article. The author wants to ride the hype wave with “clickbait” titles. He is looking for a fight and has an agenda.

It had already become evident that the head of Ashes of Creation, Steven Sharif, has a critical view of the media. Sharif seems to believe that media only report on a game when it simultaneously launches a large advertisement campaign. That was one of his motivations to implement a referral system.

A release of Ashes of Creation for PC is planned for late 2018.

Crowdfunding needs success stories

Mein-MMO thinks: I have the feeling that we will be dealing with conflicts around Ashes of Creation more often. The studio seems to feel comfortable in a “us against everyone” role and is currently treading new paths with the referral system. That is perfectly fine. The critical stance against established media is understandable in the role of the underdog, who is vying for attention against marketing giants like Ubisoft or Activision.

Well, one could have spared the stress and communicated privately, but that’s beside the point.

However: Doubts about whether Ashes of Creation will achieve its truly lofty goals will remain. Just as doubts persist regarding comparable indie MMORPGs.

We can only keep our fingers crossed that Ashes of Creation succeeds. The “crowdfunding” concept needs success stories, and not just “we were successfully funded,” but also in the second part “and then we went on and developed a really great game.”

Sharif has a background in controversial “multi-level marketing”; we have dealt with the topic here:

Overwatch: Beware of Friendship Requests! – DDOS might follow

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A particularly insidious form of cheating is currently spreading in Overwatch . Beware of friend requests!

Cheaters and fraudsters are a serious problem not only on PC but also on the console versions of Overwatch. On PlayStation 4, there is now a particularly severe case that is currently making the rounds on social media and Reddit.

Overwatch Cyberninja Hanzo

The player in question joins ranked matches and then sends friend requests to all opponents. Due to a bug, it is currently possible to obtain the respective player’s IP address this way. Following that, a DDoS attack ensues – the opponent’s connection is bombarded with so many requests that it can’t keep up, resulting in massive lag and ultimately disconnecting from the game. The end result: one team fights with fewer players, making victory relatively easy.

The respective player has already been in the “Top 500” multiple times and also boasts that you should “cry to Blizzard if you want something done” – a clear provocation.

But it gets worse. The aforementioned player also brags publicly about his actions and celebrates what he does. This includes other offenses, such as threatening his own team – as many do not want to support a cheater and therefore allow the (weakened) opponent team to win.

Overwatch Anniversary Heroes

Currently, there is no “report” function on PS4 and Xbox One. This will be added in a future patch. However, it is still uncertain whether the bug or security hole regarding the retrieval of the IP address will be fixed by then.

At the latest, after this media attention, it shouldn’t take long for Blizzard to put a stop to the player – as he has been playing with the same account since the first season.

If you are playing on PS4, keep in mind: At least at the start of a match, do not accept friend requests from opponents!

Microsoft is also taking action against fraudsters in the future. They are implementing a program that monitors the PC and transmits data to game developers. Those who do not activate the program may be excluded from their games!

Pokémon GO Leak: Next Event “Fire and Ice” allegedly in June

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A leak reveals a Fire and Ice event for Pokémon GO, which is allegedly supposed to start in June. More Charmander and Articuno are to be expected for Trainers.

It is likely that the next big event in Pokémon GO will take place on June 13. As a leak now reveals, the Fire and Ice event is supposed to start on that day to celebrate the beginning of summer and winter.

We explicitly point out at this point that this is not a confirmed event, but rather a leak. Even if the source of the leak has accurately predicted other events, you should take this information with caution and not rely on it.

Fire and Ice Event in Pokémon GO

Apparently, the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO is supposed to be officially announced soon. At least that’s what the source that provided this information to PokémonGOHub says. We have also thought about a Fire event for the beginning of summer.

The leaked announcement states that the event will start on June 13 and will be active for a week until June 20. During this time, there will be increased encounters with Fire and Ice Pokémon in the wild. Additionally, there will be extra experience for special ball throws like the curveball and for eggs that hatch. As a discount in the shop, lucky eggs are supposed to be available for half the usual price.

Pokémon GO

According to the leak, the following Pokémon are supposed to appear more frequently:

  • Charmander
  • Cyndaquil
  • Houndour
  • Herdier
  • Rapidash
  • Spheal
  • Vulpix
  • Sneasel
  • Magmar
  • Articuno

The alleged message for Trainers includes the following information:

Trainers, summer is approaching in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. We couldn’t find a better time to celebrate the Fire and Ice event in Pokémon GO with you.

Starting June 13 at 1 PM PDT (approximately 10:00 PM German time) until June 20 at 1 PM PDT (approximately 10:00 PM German time), Trainers around the world will find more Pokémon like Charmander, Cyndaquil, Houndour, Herdier, Rapidash, Spheal, Vulpix, and their evolutions. You can also find Sneasel, Magmar, Articuno, and other Fire and Ice types during the event.

During the event time, you will receive more experience points for special throw bonuses like “Nice Throw”, curveballs, or catches on the first throw. As you walk through the streets and catch Pokémon, you will also gain more experience for hatching eggs.

To make the most of these bonuses, there are lucky eggs with a 50% discount in the shop.

Event for global events conceivable

An event to celebrate the beginning of summer and winter would fit with past events from Niantic. In Pokémon GO, major events like Halloween, Christmas, or Easter are celebrated and are aimed at a wide audience of players.

A Pentecost event in Pokémon GO would not typically be on the developers’ agenda because Pentecost does not hold the same significance in other parts of the world as it does here in Europe.

We’d like to emphasize again that this event is not officially confirmed!

Marvel Heroes announces event month, abolishes PvP ‘No longer salvageable’

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

It gives the impression that for the PC version, everything is primarily about releasing the “Omega Update” of the consoles for PC. Fans will have to wait for that. In the meantime, the event with numerous bonuses is active.

More about the launch on Xbox One and PS4 can be found here:

The action MMO Marvel Heroes Omega is now playable on PS4, and it should be coming to Xbox One soon. But the PC version is still the foundation. And it is struggling; only 2 new heroes are coming in 2017. Moreover, the developers want to abolish PvP.

PC players of Marvel Heroes feel neglected

Marvel Heroes Guardians

Marvel Heroes on PS4 is a big deal. Additionally, the Xbox One fans are ready to go.

Suddenly, Marvel Heroes is “in” – after having lived for so long as a niche game, a hidden tip. It was the “number 3” behind Diablo 3 and Path of Exile – slowly it seems to be changing.

But the PC players of Marvel Heroes feel neglected. After all, they have remained loyal to the game all these years. Now they are paying for it with a slower development of their game, while everything is focused on the PS4 and Xbox One versions – that is at least how it seems.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeJrrJqxYUM

For months, the PC players of Marvel Heroes have been calling for new content, but after the “biggest update of all time” and the move to consoles, it has been quite silent.

4-week event in June 2017

To honor the loyalty of PC fans, Gazillion is announcing a 4th birthday event that will last a month.

During the entire event, there will be 150% EXP and other bonuses. In the next 3 weeks, various events and sales will take place. In the last week of June, from June 22 to June 28, all events will be active at the same time. You can read the exact details here.

Carnage-Marvel-Heroes

PvP will be abolished – Only 2 new heroes in 2017 – Carnage and Odinson

In an interview with the US site Massivelyop, more details about the future of Marvel Heroes are brought to light:

  • There will be no changes made to the current version of PvP, as it is considered “irretrievable.” Over the course of the year, it will be completely removed. Competitive PvE, solo or in a group, is deemed more important. Long term, they think it’s great to build a better PvP experience, but Gazillion sees improving PvE leaderboards and tournaments as the better solution.
  • They promise PC players that there will be more for them after the big Omega Update is released on PC. Then both versions of Marvel Heroes will be developed “only a few percent slower” than if there was only one version. PC players will benefit from Marvel Heroes running on PS4 and Xbox One.
  • There are 2 new heroes planned for PC: Carnage is set to arrive in July, and in November Odinson (Unworthy Thor). They acknowledge that this is little. In the medium term, they aim to release six or eight new heroes per year.

It gives the impression that for the PC version, everything is primarily about releasing the “Omega Update” of the consoles for PC. Fans will have to wait for that. In the meantime, the event with numerous bonuses is active.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: PvP details may come at E3

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Fans are eagerly waiting for details about the PvP mode of Ghost Recon Wildlands. There may be new information at E3.

Are you looking forward to the planned PvP mode of Ghost Recon Wildlands? Yes? So are we. And that’s exactly why we would like to have more information about this important game feature.

Even before the release of Wildlands, the developers announced that the game would feature a PvP mode. Since then, not much has been said officially on this topic.

When will the PvP mode come to Wildlands?

In March, Ubisoft stated that there would be a PvP mode in Wildlands. Since then, the developers have not provided any further details or information on this subject.

In a recent Q&A session, the developers explained that they are aware of the high interest in the PvP mode. However, they cannot provide any precise details at this time and are telling interested fans to wait until summer when more information is expected to be available.

Ubisoft is currently considering how to integrate the free PvP update into the game. So far, it is only clear that players will be able to face off in four-on-four matches.

Ghost Recon Wildlands G28 Title

Ubisoft will be seen on Monday, June 12, during the E3 livestream. We hope that there will finally be more details about the PvP mode. Some possible details about this feature have already been shared by data miners.

Data miners uncover PvP content

More information about the mentioned mode was found by diligent data miners. While there is no guarantee that these findings will actually be implemented in the game, they provide an overview of what the developers planned.

10 Reasons for Final Fantasy XIV: The Right MMORPG for You? (Video)

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy 14 Stormblood is about to be released and is more current than ever. But why should you even play the complex online role-playing game from Square Enix? A video provides the answer!

final fantasy 14 3 5 01

Final Fantasy XIV is a phenomenon. The online role-playing game from Square Enix started as a mega-flop and was a disgrace for the developer and the glorious tradition of the series. But instead of scrapping everything and forgetting it, they brought in the new lead developer Naoki Yoshida, who steered it around and relaunched Final Fantasy 14.

The result is a successful subscription-based RPG, which will soon become even bigger with the expansion Stormblood. But why should you even play FF14? What is so great about the game?

Final Fantasy XIV – Here’s why it’s so good!

Final Fantasy XIV offers many reasons why fans of online RPGs should play it. Ten of the most popular reasons have been summarized by the friendly YouTuber Charles from Austria in a video.

In the video, Charles presents, among other things, the cross-platform gameplay of FF14. Hardly any MMO offers the opportunity for console players and PC gamers to play together, but in FF14 it’s possible!

Additionally, there are extensive options in the editor, where you can create your ideal dream hero. Another highlight of the game, according to Charles, is the exciting story, which is continuously advanced with content patches. Furthermore, Charles praises the dynamic classes that you can switch at any time, as well as the beautiful graphics and music. We have embedded the video here for you; enjoy watching!

What do you think about Charles’ arguments for Final Fantasy XIV? Do you agree? Do you find Final Fantasy XIV great for other reasons? Or do you think that Final Fantasy XIV is praised completely unjustly? Let us know your opinion in the comments!

Destiny 2: The Farm, the new Tower – Social Space with Football

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 there will be a new social space: The Farm. What is known about it?

Destiny 2 begins with an attack by the Cabal Legion on the Tower. This is destroyed, the Vanguard and the Guardians are expelled. With this, you lose not only your home in the sequel, but also your most important social space.

The social spaces are the meeting points in Destiny, where you find important NPCs and vendors, where the vaults, the Cryptarchs, and the Eververse are located.

destiny-europäische-todeszone

While Destiny 1 had the Felwinter Peak and the Vestian Outpost in the Reef as two additional social spaces, these will no longer exist in Destiny 2. Instead, you have only one meeting point: The Farm.

The Farm is in the EDZ, the largest Destiny world to date

This farm is located in the European Dead Zone, abbreviated as “EDZ”. According to the developers, this zone is about twice the size of any other world they have created for Destiny. Not only is the landscape extremely vast, but the amount of activities is tremendous.

destiny-2-hüter-camp

In the EDZ, you will find, in addition to a forest, a military base of the Cabal Legion, and a cave system below the surface, the new social space in Destiny 2. This has often been referred to by the developers as “The Farm”, but in the in-game material, it is also mentioned as the “Guardian Camp”:

We already know that players will access the European Dead Zone and the Farm early in Destiny 2. Many Guardians have gathered here after the Cabal attack. They did not want to flee any longer, but instead wanted to become strong again as a community. An important NPC at this location is Hawthorne.

Hawthorne – In the background is a piece of the Traveler

What the new social space offers

destiny 2 reisender

The new social space did not arise in a random location. Near it lies a piece of the Traveler, as the community manager DeeJ reveals. This “shard” broke off from the Traveler during the downfall of the Golden Age and is the structure shown in several scenes of the video material for Destiny 2:

This piece is expected to play a crucial role in the story of Destiny 2. After all, it is part of the Traveler – the source of the Guardians’ power.

The Farm is supposed to have a similar yet evolved function as the social spaces in Destiny 1. Here you talk to NPCs, here you prepare to embark on new missions, and to become stronger.

There should also be some things that serve only for fun. In Destiny 1, you could only dance with your buddies if you wanted to fool around, according to DeeJ. In Destiny 2, however, you will discover things on the Farm that make the world feel “livelier”, adding more fun. These show that even though Destiny 2 is set in a post-apocalyptic setting, the Guardians fight for a vibrant society and a hopeful future. Therefore, there must also be moments of joy.

destiny-2-fußball-ball
destiny-2-fußball

It has already been seen in gameplay material that there will be a kind of soccer on the Farm. In Destiny 1, there were balls, but now goals are also set up, and once a goal is scored, fireworks will be set off:

More info about the Farm:

  • It is the only social space in Destiny 2. With future updates, this meeting point can be expanded.
  • Up to 26 players can be in one instance at the same time:
    destiny-2-farm
  • A Cryptarch has already been discovered:
    destiny-2-kryptarch
  • There will be a post office and vendors again (this is derived from an interview with Luke Smith).
  • Whether the previous factions will also return remains to be seen.

In short: the Farm is supposed to be a place where you enjoy spending your time. Where you can play mini-games with your friends and prepare for the next adventures.

Here you can learn more about the new worlds in Destiny 2 and what activities are in them.

Windows 10 plans its own “cheat protection” for the operating system

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft is taking action against cheaters. A new cheat protection could be integrated directly into Windows 10.

Cheaters, botters, and fraudsters of all kinds ruin the online gaming experience for everyone involved. The fight against such third-party software or other cheating methods is often a daunting task. But now someone is stepping into the fight who was not expected – Microsoft.

According to “Insider” reports, the latest test version of Windows 10, the Insider Preview Build 16199, includes a new feature called “Game Monitor,” which can be enabled and disabled in the Windows settings. The translation of the feature description is as follows:

“Gaming is more fun when everyone plays fair. We share system information with the games to ensure everything runs as intended. If you disable this feature, it may reduce the number of games you can play.”

Microsoft Game Monitor Windows 10

This new tab and feature were added without much announcement. The Game Monitor currently seems to have no impact, as it looks.

In plain terms, this likely means that games will want to access this feature in the future. If users do not allow it, then the game or online features will not be available.

Whether Microsoft is entering into a partnership with various publishers and game developers to make games safer from cheaters or is offering this feature solely for its own produced games is still unknown. Certainly, Microsoft will issue a statement on this within the next few weeks – at the latest by the release of the current version of Windows 10.

However, this could mainly be a protection against piracy. Time will tell. More information about the feature is expected at E3 2017.

Cheaters are always a topic on our site. For example, in Pokemon GO, where they simply have to look through the tube!

Heroes of the Storm: Bikini Skins and Hot Surf Mount

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

If you enjoy a lot of skin and little clothing, you will surely have fun with the beach skins from Heroes of the Storm!

The hot days have begun, and that means summer clothing not only in the real world. In Heroes of the Storm, heroes also shed their shells and are given beachwear to survive the summer months.

The highlight is likely Tychus, who charges into battle dressed only in swim trunks, showcasing his body. Always with him is (of course) his big gun, which he has repurposed as a water gun – every kid in the neighborhood would look outdated next to his SuperSoaker.

Also new is Tracer with her “Slip ‘n Stream” skin, which also wraps her in a revealing swimsuit. The pistols have been replaced with water guns, and the ultimate is now a water bomb. Sticky water bombs are already high-tech.

Additionally, there are a few skins that do not follow any specific theme. Murky receives the “Sir Murkalot” skin, battling like a crusader. “Blood Raven” Sylvanas likes a lot of bones.

Also, there are new variations for the mounts. A surfboard complete with a wave can now carry heroes across the battlefields, just like the new “Emoticon” cloud, which displays three different emotional states – depending on how salty you’re feeling.

New sprays, banners, and display images round off the total package. There is yet no specific date for all this content, but most of it is likely to arrive in the game alongside Malthael. The Archangel of Death is set to be released next week.

What Malthael has to offer has been revealed in this post – he deals extreme percentage damage!

Overwatch: Mit den Helden am Strand entspannen – „Baewatch“

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the “beach episode” of Overwatch , things are getting heated. Bare skin and plenty of fanfiction await.

Since summer has already started a bit earlier this year, a getaway at the beach or a lake seems particularly appealing – this also applies to the heroes from Overwatch. A few cosplayers have come together to recreate a relaxed day at the beach.

Overwatch Cosplayers Spend a Day at the Sea

The whole thing is accompanied only by the sound files that the hero shooter Overwatch provides. You can check out how it looks when Tracer, Mercy, Pharah, Soldier: 76, Hanzo, and McCree spend a relaxed day at the beach. It’s hardly necessary to mention that certain ultimates with water guns are a bit unfair in a water fight.

“Baewatch” is an Anime Parody

The Youtube channel Deerstalker Pictures was inspired by a common cliche from the anime genre. In almost every series, there is a “beach episode” that often has little or nothing to do with the actual plot. Instead of intense battles or thrilling twists, it’s all about fan service, plenty of bare skin, and of course, “accidents” that bring the characters closer together.

In “Baewatch”, this has been picked up and several popular pairings from the fanfiction community have been included. The romance “McHanzo” is briefly hinted at – because who hasn’t always wanted McCree to rub sunscreen on his best friend Hanzo? But fans of “Pharmercy” also get to see their favorite couple – at least until “Mama” Ana intervenes and puts an end to her daughter’s indecent antics.

Of course, Genji must not be missed – he stands alone on the beach, far away from everyone else, calling for healing. Just as we know him.

In Overwatch, you cannot rate matches anymore – the feature will be removed with patch 1.12.
