In Guild Wars 2, a player created a masterpiece in the guild hall. Nothing less than the Mona Lisa has been created as a shadow artwork through floating objects!
Guild Wars 2 does not have a “proper” housing system where you can build your own homes at will. However, what you can do is place a few things in your guild hall, thus customizing the guild meeting point to your needs.
The current example from Guild Wars 2 shows what blossoms can result when creative and patient players are at work.
Guild Wars 2 – Mona Lisa – Leonardo da Vinci with Shadow Brush
When you enter the guild hall of the player Alilinke, you should notice a large white wall that seems completely out of place in the hall area. However, as you get closer, the outline of the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, suddenly appears on the wall.
The giant painting is impressive in itself, but even more curious is the fact that you actually cannot freely paint on objects in Guild Wars 2. Rather, the entire image consists solely of shadows!
These shadows come from numerous freely floating objects that Alilinke has painstakingly placed at the right angle to the sun and the wall up there.
Guild Wars 2 – Over 50 Hours of Work for the Mona Lisa
As objects cannot simply be placed freely in the air, Alilinke had to build a kind of framework from other objects beforehand to place the actual shadow givers on it. A tremendous effort!

Overall, the artist needed over 50 hours to achieve the feat of placing all those objects at exactly the right angle. We have embedded the entire work in a video here for you. Enjoy watching and admiring!
Can you imagine putting so much work into a piece of art that actually brings you no gameplay advantage? Let us know in the comments!
The battle royale shooter H1Z1 King of the Kill is said to have grown by 1000% since September 2016. The reason for this is not really clear even to those involved.
With H1Z1, they expected to grow, but not to this extent. They believe it is due to the genre, the battle royale shooter. It feels fresh and appeals to both new players and shooter veterans alike.
Development is now running in parallel: Live team and feature development
Currently, Daybreak Games is trying to handle the influx, scaling up server capacity to avoid queues.
They say this growth has caused “growing pains,” which they want to address by completely restructuring development. A live team is supposed to constantly work on the game while a development team focuses on new features.
This way, they aim to quickly release bug fixes and server updates, as well as to advance major feature developments.
H1Z1: Plans for the Future
For the future, Daybreak Games is planning among other things:
A new weapon for summer, which is supposed to have an “own role” – further details are not yet available
Shotguns are to become more reliable with the next content update, no longer as random as at present
Leaderboards for the game modes “Duos” and “Fives” are on the way
The air-drop mechanic is to be completely changed – players should be able to choose how valuable what falls from the sky is
Regarding the port to PS4 and Xbox One, H1Z1 King of the Kill remains silent
There hasn’t been much talk about the upcoming port of H1Z1 King of the Kill to PS4 and Xbox One for some time now. It was actually scheduled for summer 2016. They have also not spoken much about coming out of “Early Access” for a while now.
H1Z1 King of the Kill is one of those games that established itself over Steam and Twitch.
ASTA, a colorful online role-playing game from Korea, was permanently shut down in October 2016. But the end may not be so final, as the game is set to make a comeback on Steam in April!
ASTA: The War of Tears and Wind – often referred to as the “Korean World of Warcraft” – was permanently shut down by publisher Webzen on October 4, 2016 due to low player numbers. The servers for the Western version went offline, and players received refunds for their real money expenditures over the last 30 days. Game over – curtains down, monkey dead!
However, ASTA doesn’t seem to be as dead as it appears. The Korea MMO is making a comeback on April 26, 2017!
ASTA – Return on Steam
If you’ve bitterly missed the Asia MMO since its infamous end or regret never having played ASTA, mark April 26 on your calendar. On this day, you can play ASTA for free again via Steam under the new publisher Move Games.
On the official ASTA page on Steam, you can learn about the game’s features. ASTA will showcase stunning graphics thanks to CryEngine3, and the character system is expected to offer a variety of options, including a slider for eyebrows! Also included in ASTA: housing, two factions, PvR battles, martial arts fighting styles, and pets.
ASTA – Promo Actions for Loyal Players
Those who log in during the month following the release will receive a reward, including a fox pet and game resources. Fans who spread the word about ASTA on Facebook will also receive rewards for their efforts. If you want to register for ASTA, you can find the online role-playing game on Steam via the provided link.
What do you think about the return of ASTA? Have you missed the game or is it rightfully gone? And what do you think about the chances of the relaunch? Let us know in the comments!
The latest update for SWTOR is live and players can finally wage war on Iokath – but which side will they choose?
After some issues with Star Wars: The Old Republic last week, as Patch 5.2 did not meet internal quality standards, BioWare has finally made adjustments. As of today (04/18/2017), game update 5.2 “The War for Iokath” is live, and the patch notes have also been released.
Especially Sith Warriors and Troopers should be pleased, as they will reunite with their companions. Malavai Quinn and Elara Dorne appear throughout the story and may – depending on the choices made – not be fully convinced by the player.
Apart from a happy (or dramatic) reunion, the story surrounding the machine world Iokath itself is likely to impress. After completing the storyline, the player gains access to a new area with daily quests where they can support the Empire or the Republic – a decision that can be made anew again and again.
Fans of operations are finally getting fresh content again. The “Gods from the Machine” operation challenges players and is likely to present Raiders with new challenges.
Lastly, the star map has been updated. It is now accessible almost everywhere, and the associated fast travel options allow for even more comfortable travel through the galaxy. In most cases, a manual trip to the spaceship is no longer necessary.
You can find the full patch notes in German as usual in our sources.
Exciting new content is coming soon for Guardians of Ember, the alternative to Diablo 3. Act V will be released next week, and the Horde mode is coming soon.
In an update, the developers of Guardians of Ember report what to expect in the game over the next few weeks. After the recent release of the new Dark Knight class, new content will follow next week. Act 5 is already nearing release, while the planned Horde mode still needs some polishing.
Guardians of Ember – April Content
The development of the fifth act in Guardians of Ember has progressed faster than the developers expected. Because of this, this content can be released next week. The plan is for April 25th to be the release date for Act 5 in GoE. The release was initially scheduled for May.
Act V offers you cool new content: “In the abandoned landscape of Labato Fjord, your next task awaits. There, you must stop Arques before he joins Urdigard. Act 5 is the final chapter in Early Access.”
New DLC System: The team is introducing a system in GoE that allows players to unlock DLC content directly in the game, skipping the previous unlock codes.
Event Tool for Ingame Events: A new event tool is nearing completion to give the community management team the ability to launch in-game events.
Originally, the Horde mode was also supposed to be released in April, but it will now come next month. Due to feedback, some fine-tuning is still being done before the game mode is released. This especially concerns rewards and balancing.
Guardians of Ember – May Content
In May, players can expect not only the Horde mode but also the first parts of the English translation. Additionally, ranked matches are planned, as well as a guild skill system.
Horde Mode: This 5-player co-op mode is considered a survival mode where you must defeat waves of enemies. The mode tests your skill and rewards you with achievements and rewards afterward.
English Translation: In May, the first acts with English translation will be released. By summer, the remaining content of Guardians of Ember should be available in English.
Balance Update: The developers are currently evaluating stats and player feedback to complete a larger balancing update.
Ranked PvP: Once the game is better balanced, the developers plan to enable ranked PvP.
Guild Skill System: Leveling up your guild rank will provide each member with unique buffs.
Paladins is a team-based first-person shooter with MOBA elements. Recently, there is also a console version that we looked at more closely on the PS4. In our test video about Paladins, you will learn what we think about the multiplayer shooter.
Exaggeratedly speaking, it is a mix of the shooter Counter-Strike, the MOBA Heroes of the Storm, and the card game Hearthstone. And some malicious tongues claim it is an Overwatch clone. But much more importantly: Is the Steam sensation worth it? Does Paladins fill a gap in the shooters on console?

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the first players have filled all 96 nodes in the Record Book of Age of Triumph. Thus, they have completed Destiny 1 after two and a half years.
On reddit, a player announced: The Iron Banner is finished and the 390 “Wrath of the Machine” raid took place for the first time today. The Age of Triumph is basically completed, everything has been tackled at least once.
It is therefore possible to fill all 96 nodes of the vast Record Book of “Age of Triumph” and thus complete Destiny 1.
He did that and can confirm what many have suspected: There is no special reward for it. Only the inner completist is now satisfied.
The largest Record Book of all time is now also filled
The Record Book in Destiny is extensive and shows certain “achievements” that players can fulfill with their Guardians. When certain scores are reached and sections are fully completed, rewards are given gradually.
These are mostly emblems, and at the end, when rank 7 has been reached, a t-shirt awaits that Guardians can have shipped home if they pay for it. For that, you need to enter your gamertag on the Bungie store page; otherwise, you will pay 777,777 dollars and 77 cents.
Not everything in the book needs to be filled out to collect all rewards
The book is designed so that you can still get all those rewards even if you haven’t completed absolutely everything. However, some Guardians speculated that there might still be a bonus reward for the toughest of the tough.
Now we know: That is not the case. There is no hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Currently, the veterans hope at least that there will be some “recognition” in Destiny 2 that is worth wearing.
Most think it could be another emblem.
All milestones of the Record Book for Age of Triumph and what rewards are available can be read here:
The first season in Ghost Recon Wildlands is now active. We show you which challenges and rewards await you.

The live season challenges provide objectives for solo and co-op players and the community. Today, Season 1 started and has cool rewards for you. We show you what you need to do for the rewards and how much time you have for it.
Ghost Recon Wildlands Season 1 – Week 1
In the first week, you need to delve deeper into the UNIDAD as ghosts. You have information that UNIDAD is secretly moving troops and supplies to strategic positions in the country. This indicates that they are planning a major operation. What exactly happens in this operation, what objectives UNIDAD has, and how to initiate countermeasures must be uncovered. Go to the site and look for important information.
The following challenges await you next week:
Solo challenges
Level 1: Use a drone in Remanzo to expose SAM, alarm, and MG positions. 12 targets

Level 3: Manually disable jammers in Media Luna. 2 targets
You can complete these objectives individually or in co-op mode. In co-op mode, each player must fulfill these objectives. You can see the copper reward in the image.
Community challenge
Use the drone or binoculars in any province to mark UNIDAD soldiers. 3,000,000 targets
The whole community participates to achieve the goal. You can see the glasses reward in the image.
Command challenge:
To complete this challenge, you must kill UNIDAD snipers in any province from at least 300 meters away. 30 targets
This challenge is only for players belonging to a task force. You can see the vulture reward in the image.
The Necromancer in Diablo 3 is getting a forced break and will be deactivated on the test servers for now. Balance update?
Since April 12, you can test the Necromancer on the PBE servers, if you have gained access to it. But as of today, testing is over for now, as the Necromancer will be deactivated. However, the deactivation is only temporary.
Diablo 3 Necromancer not available – Revive Super-Overpowered
Is the Necromancer now getting its first revision based on beta feedback? In the forum, community manager Nevalistis announced that the Necromancer will not be available for testing on the PBE servers today starting at 7:00 PM. Players were already informed at the beginning of the testing phase that the new Necromancer class will not be continuously available. During this time, the developers can fix major bugs and experiment with changes internally.
It is possible that the Revive abilities of the Necromancer will be adjusted now. Testers have already been made aware that Revive is currently “Super Overpowered” and will undergo significant changes in the near future.
The developers did not specify exact reasons why the Necromancer is being deactivated today. There might be a balancing of the various skills in the coming days. All skills of the Necromancer can be found here
During the absence of the Necromancer, testers can try out more content from Patch 2.6.0 on the test servers. This includes the two new zones “The Moors” and “The Temple of the Firstborn”. You can reach these zones via a waypoint in Act II and Act IV.
Additionally, the Challenge Portals are ready for testing. There you can try out new builds in a dungeon that changes weekly. During the beta phase, the dungeon might change more frequently.
The reactivation of the Necromancer is planned. In the forum, Nevalistis writes that the thread will be updated as soon as the Necromancer is available again. We will inform you as soon as we know more about this topic.
In the pirate online game Sea of Thieves, technical alpha phases are being conducted repeatedly – but only on the Xbox One. PC players still have to wait.
Sea of Thieves is making steady progress. Players can see this themselves through the ongoing technical alphas. For the latest one, 23,000 new players were invited, allowing nearly 40,000 players to participate in the test phases. However, this is only for owners of an Xbox One.
While technical alphas for PC are planned, they are still forthcoming. The developers state that they are also making progress in this area. However, there is currently no date for the PC alpha.
New Alpha with New Features
Those who are lucky enough to participate in the Xbox One technical alpha will gain insights into new features and many improvements. For example, the combat system recently received an update, making sword fights even more interesting and exciting.
Additionally, it is now possible to dive, which brings new gameplay possibilities. For example, surprise attacks from the sea. And who knows, maybe you’ll be able to dive for sunken ships and treasure.
Limited Resources Lead to Conflicts
Moreover, there is a limited number of resources for the ships, which will likely lead to battles over the resources. Additionally, the difficulty level of the skeletons you may encounter during your adventures has been adjusted.
With one of the upcoming updates, a spyglass is also expected to make its way into the game, but the team is still discussing how it will be best implemented. In a new video, you can learn more about how development is progressing. Sea of Thieves is taking more shape overall. A release of the online game is still planned for this year.

Khadgar expects great things from the WoW players on the Broken Shore. Several thousand Nethershard must be farmed.
As has been customary on Tuesdays in the past weeks, the quest line on the Broken Shore continues and requires players to complete some new tasks. Those who venture to the Broken Shore in World of Warcraft from today, April 18, 2017, will be greeted by Khadgar, who has a new quest. For “Shard Times,” the Archmage demands that you deliver a staggering 2,500 Nethershards – quite a hefty task.
How to Obtain Nethershards for Shard Times?
Nethershards can be obtained for a handful of activities on the Broken Isles. The most lucrative source of income are the Legion Invasions. Open your map of the Broken Isles and check if one of the four zones is currently being attacked by the Legion. If so, mount a flying mount of your choice and complete as many world quests in the invasion area as possible. Each quest will reward you – in addition to gold, artifact power, and reputation points – with Nethershards. Between 225 and 350 are waiting for a single world quest.
Alternatively, you can find a group for the Sentinax through the group finder. This ship of the Legion circles the Broken Shore and creates portals. The enemies from these portals drop a few shards upon death – just like the rare elite enemies marked on the area map.
Handing over War Supplies of the Legion Judges is also rewarded with Nethershards. Mostly, however, only 75 shards for 100 resources.
If you prefer gambling, you can also participate in the Wyrm’s Tongue Lottery – and either win big or lose all your shards.
However, the conclusion of Shard Times brings a surprise. Apparently, Khadgar made a small miscalculation, as he actually only needs a single Nethershard. After completing the quest, you will get the remaining 2,499 shards back from him – in addition to 1,500 reputation points for the Legion Judges.
If you have not yet unlocked flying, this quest should finally allow you to achieve respectful reputation with the Legion Judges.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 will receive a splitscreen mode, allowing cooperative multiplayer even offline. However, this does not apply to the PC version.
Comfortably sitting with friends on the couch and playing a round of Star Wars Battlefront 2 together without needing to be online has its charm. Being able to sit in a room, discuss directly, see each other’s reactions, and toast to victory is something that an online mode cannot provide.
Splitscreen not on PC
The offline splitscreen mode of the newly announced online shooter offers the possibility to unlock rewards through cooperative battles, which will give you customization options. You can then also use these online.
However, the splitscreen mode will be reserved only for console owners. PC players will not have the option to play offline with friends. This was already the case with the predecessor and is partly due to the fact that the PC has never really been a popular platform for splitscreen multiplayer matches.
Invite friends for a game night
But those who own an Xbox One or a Playstation 4 can be happy and invite their buddies for a fun gaming night when Star Wars Battlefront 2 launches on November 17.
Then you can also play the single-player campaign that fans of the first game have been asking for. This is part of the official “canon” of Star Wars and is written by Walt Williams, the author who was responsible for the much-praised story of the shooter Spec Ops: The Line.

The quest system of Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen will differ from that of other MMORPGs. Not every player will receive the same quests.
Your hero in the new indie MMORPG Pantheon has a “Perception” skill. This determines whether you notice certain things during your wanderings through the game world – or not.
For example, you will hear a woman crying if your skill reaches a certain value. If you talk to this woman, you will receive a quest. Another player, whose Perception skill is lower, will not notice the woman’s crying and will therefore not receive this quest.
No help for quests
However, other factors also play a role in whether you “notice” a quest. These include your race, your faction affiliation, and your reputation.
You must always walk attentively through the world to not overlook quests, as you will not find NPCs with golden exclamation marks above their heads in Pantheon, and you will not be guided by breadcrumb trails or waypoints to the next quest objective. Once you have found a mission, you have to figure out how to solve it yourself.
If you need to find a hidden cave, you should really search for it, as it will not suddenly appear on the minimap.
If you don’t like quests, you don’t have to do them
The Perception system also has another benefit. Depending on how you behave, whether you help a woman in distress or not, your alignment will change, which in turn will affect the further course of your adventures.
The system is designed to give players who do not want to experience quests the opportunity to avoid them. If you do not increase your Perception skill, you will most likely not discover a quest and can focus on other things that may be more fun for you. However, if you enjoy stories, you will find new quests time and time again.
Crafters should be specialists
The developers of the MMORPG Pantheon have also talked about the crafting system. In this, players must specialize in one area.
If you want to be a blacksmith, you cannot also become a bowyer. However, anyone can gather resources. But through this specialization in crafting, true professionals should emerge, not crafters who can do a little bit of everything. D
The MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is currently in an alpha phase, with a beta expected to start later this year.

With your vote, you can snag 3 free packs for Hearthstone . We will tell you how to do it.
To engage the community more in the major Hearthstone tournaments, Blizzard has been enticing players with free packs when they choose a favorite team in recent weeks and months. This is now possible again at the Hearthstone Collegiate Finals in North America.
In the Collegiate Finals, teams from American colleges compete against each other. 8 teams have made it to the playoffs, the final matches, and will face off on April 22 and 23.
Even as Europeans, we can choose a college as a favorite and are rewarded with up to 3 packs from “The Streets of Gadgetzan”. One pack is given just for casting your vote. Another pack is awarded if the chosen team makes it from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals and from the semi-finals to the finals.
You have time to cast your vote until April 21 at 9:00 AM.
The tournament is more than just “a game,” as the prize pool of $160,000 will be awarded in the form of scholarships, which could be of great importance for some participants’ futures.
Which team you should bet your vote on is hard to say, as there are hardly any well-known champions in this tournament. It’s best to make your choice based on gut feeling, or do it like Schuhmann: Take the “Cal”, the “University of California – Berkeley”, as it has particularly many Asian-American students.
Such tournaments, where the prize money is paid out in the form of scholarships or tuition, happen more often at Blizzard. For instance, in HotS, there is the “Heroes of the Dorm” tournament that offers similar prizes.
For Black Desert , a new class called Striker has recently been announced. In Korea, the martial arts fighter will be available soon, and players of the Korean version can already create a Striker in advance in the character editor. See here what is possible.
Black Desert Online has the most beautiful, powerful, and detailed character editor ever seen in an online role-playing game. Every class has its own look and is determined by race and gender, but with enough time and effort, numerous cool heroes can be created.
Since character creation can take quite a bit of time due to the complex editor, players may already create their personal Kung Fu master in advance before the release of the new Striker class in Korea.
Black Desert Online – Striker – Fighting K-Pop Star?
Each class in Black Desert Online has a roughly defined look. The warrior is a rugged, masculine knight archetype, the Valkyrie is delicate, the witch is cute, and the wizard has long been a Gandalf-like character. The new hero Striker, on the other hand, resembles a K-Pop star in his standard appearance with his blonde, styled hair.
https://youtu.be/DAuEEK24DCs
If this look does not suit you, you can certainly change it completely, for example by shaving the hairstyle and sending the Striker into battle as a classic Kung Fu monk. Or you can give the Striker a casual long-haired hairstyle. With the theme of the young wild one, you can realize many ideas.
Black Desert Online – The Striker in the Trailer
The Striker not only looks good, but also carries his martial name justly. With light armor and armored fists, he strikes hard and can especially give a hard time to individual opponents.
The most important skills of the new Striker class have already been described in another article. However, to see how these look in action, a new trailer showcases it. We have embedded the video here for you. Enjoy!

The Striker will first be released only in Korea on April 20th. A release date for the western version is not yet known, but it should not take too long.
Is Massive really planning a The Division 2 or a big expansion? Why isn’t the shooter being developed further?
It’s quite puzzling. Massive has launched a million-dollar franchise for Ubisoft, created an MMO shooter in the wake of Destiny that has broken a ton of records and made a ridiculous amount of money. Then they developed the project for over a year with DLCs, kept it somewhat on track with updates and patches, and now we hear nothing from Malmö.
The fans had already grabbed their pitchforks and lit the torches when they learned about the Year 2 plans for The Division or rather when they learned nothing about them, as there were obviously no plans for a Year 2 in The Division.
The torches are now extinguished. Anger and frustration have been replaced by a certain wonder: How things are really going to proceed with “The Division” is not known to anyone outside of Ubisoft and Massive.
But it can’t seriously be that the studio is actually giving up “The Division” as a franchise after such a successful start to work on an “Avatar Project,” can it?
Massive Malmö is looking for 40 new employees
Massive has definitely not given up the “The Division” franchise. The location “Malmö” is more important than ever. After all, “The Avatar Project” is supposed to be developed here along with “The Division,” the next million-dollar franchise from Ubisoft.
There’s no news about large-scale layoffs. You usually hear about those when online games are being shut down. Only after the project’s release have some key figures publicly departed.
The horror scenario of “The Division” fans: Ubisoft has pulled the entire “The Division” team to work on the “Avatar Project.” But that seems far-fetched. Ubisoft has invested too much in “The Division,” and the franchise is too successful for that.
Moreover, some jobs are specifically advertised for “The Division.”
Currently, there are only two scenarios for the future of “The Division” that seem sensible: In both, The Division follows its “model” in terms of business model, Destiny.
We think Massive in Malmö is currently working on The Division:
either on a big expansion like “The Taken King,” but they’re not ready to reveal it yet
or they skip the step altogether and really go all out with “The Division 2”
Obviously, The Division is not planning any “small DLC” for €15 like in year 1 next. Because those would have been announced by now.
Massive is either planning a big expansion or a full-priced sequel. Both still seem to be a while away, otherwise, it would have been announced by now. Perhaps we will hear more at E3.
The “current” gap can be explained by the fact that Ubisoft has changed plans at short notice. Maybe “The Division 2” was indeed once planned, but now they have decided to release an expansion instead.
As evidence, a nebulous statement from the financial report in February can be cited. Ubisoft stated that they would prefer to continue developing a project rather than release a sequel for the franchise as initially planned. So far, it’s unknown which franchise from Ubisoft the statement is aimed at, but it is quite conceivable that it was referring to The Division.
An expansion would likely be well received – not The Division 2
Well, the situation for The Division isn’t good. The mood among fans remains angry and upset, as they would have expected more from the online shooter than a long pause.
If Ubisoft were to announce a “The Division 2” now, they would certainly have to face some criticism for not having done more with the first part. That wouldn’t be a good starting point for a new game. A “big expansion,” on the other hand, would have better chances.
What do you think?
The title image is from the jobs page of Massive Sweden.

The online shooter Destiny is a game where you fight aliens for three years and at the end, you get a T-shirt. Today, there are new aliens at the Weekly Reset on April 18th.
The fourth week of the Age of Triumph has begun. The first two weeks were really exciting, as there were 390 light versions of the ancient raids Crota’s End and the Vault of Glass. This week, the current raid “Wrath of the Machine” is on, which is being warmed up again, even though it is still quite warm. A bit like reheating fresh rolls, but well. Everything should be in order.
This means: You can loot exotic adept weapons from the Wrath of the Machine raid – primary weapons with elemental damage. Bungie has now allowed the legendary primary weapons in the raid to have elemental damage in their exotic versions. Originally, there were no primary weapons with elemental damage in “Wrath of the Machine”.
Fresh ornaments are definitely included. You have the chance to look even prettier today, before everything starts over again with Destiny 2. The armor ornaments in the “Wrath of the Machine” raid have this look:
Additionally, the April Iron Banner in Destiny ends with the Weekly Reset.
Modifiers in the Nightfall “Shield Brothers” in Destiny are:
Epic
Voidburn
Brawler

For premium pass users, the Narco Road DLC for Ghost Recon Wildlands is already unlocked today. New content such as weapons and races are awaiting you. When will the DLC be released?
The first official expansion for Ghost Recon Wildlands is being released today. It is called Narco Road and can be played by premium pass holders already today, a week before the actual release.
The release of the Wildlands expansion is again occurring in two phases. Apparently, console players already have access to the expansion.
Narco Road – Release Xbox One, PS4, PC
The release of the Narco Road DLC in Ghost Recon Wildlands is planned for today. According to a forum post, the DLC will be activated in two steps, similar to the last Wildlands patch 3.0. First access is reportedly already available for players on PS4 and Xbox One, while PC players will have to wait until this evening.
Release: In the forum, the Ubisoft community team writes that the Narco Road DLC should be available on PS4 and Xbox One since midnight.PC players have to wait until 9:00 PM today to be able to play the expansion.
However, there are already reports on social media from players who supposedly have already accessed the DLC content on PC. We have not been able to confirm this report yet and are waiting for further messages from the community and Ubisoft. The release date for players without a premium pass is next Tuesday, April 25.
Wildlands DLC – Narco Road Content
The Narco Road DLC is controversial among Ghost Recon Wildlands fans as it brings content like monster trucks or races into a game that is primarily a tactical shooter. On the other hand, there are also 15 new story missions, new side missions, nine new weapons, and new outfits. So players have other reasons besides the racing content to play the DLC.
The tamable Fenryr in World of Warcraft is causing problems. Some players have received him “incorrectly” – but Blizzard shows mercy.
Hunters in World of Warcraft are always looking for a very special companion that makes them stand out from the crowd of hunter players. With patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras,” some new wildlife was implemented in the game that hunters can tame. One of them is Fenryr, an instance boss from the Hall of Valor.
Many players already discovered that Fenryr was tamable in the first days and made the beast their own. This was possible on the mythic difficulty. A dungeon group cleared the entire instance, and the hunter then reset it, causing Fenryr to appear again. Taming thus became child’s play, and many players now roam with the noble wolf as their pet.
Instance reset for Fenryr was a bug
But that was not the plan from Blizzard. The actual challenge was to have hunters complete the instance on mythic solo all the way to Fenryr. However, the bug has since been fixed.
Since players could not foresee that this was a bug, Blizzard decided not to take Fenryr away from the corresponding characters. However, those who want to tame him now must fight their way to Fenryr’s den – only with a pet of their choice – and can then impose their will on him there. Blizzard stated in the official forum:
“To clarify: The soft reset was a bug that has now been fixed, and the intended method for taming Fenryr is a solo challenge. It would be unfair to take Fenryr away from those players who already have him, especially since the early tamers could not know that this method was not intended.”
No one has committed a crime regarding bug using, even if it was a bug – everyone can keep their Fenryr without bad conscience.
