Destiny: 11600 silver for a Triumph set? Criticism of the treasures of the ages

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny, some Guardians criticize the Treasures of Ages: The loot pool is way too large.

In Bungie’s MMO shooter, there have been several “Mystery Packages” in the form of treasures: From Radiant Treasures to Treasures of the Lost to Treasures of the Dawning. With the Age of Triumph, these items were replaced by the Treasures of Ages.

You can earn these “Treasures of Ages” by playing the heroic SIVA Crisis Strike playlist, the weekly story playlist, and the weekly Crucible playlist. This way, three free Treasures of Ages can be obtained per account each week. If you want more, you can purchase them in the Eververse for real money.

The most coveted loot in the Treasures of Ages: The Triumph Set!

The Treasures of Ages have a massive loot pool: It can contain Silver Dust, Chromatin, XP boosters, ornaments, gestures, emblems, armor pieces, ghost shells, masks, shaders, Sparrows, emotes, and ships – a whole bunch of stuff that has been available in Destiny before.

Additionally, there are new items in the Treasures of Ages, which have a low drop chance – and are therefore particularly sought after. There are new weapon ornaments, two ships, and three shaders – and foremost a Triumph Armor.

Recently, some critical voices have been raised on Reddit: “The Treasures of Ages can contain way too much!” If you are only after the new armor pieces, you would have to open an incredible number of treasures and always hope for the necessary luck. The chance of getting exactly what you desire is far too low.

A user complains that he will never get the “Age of Triumph” set. Nor will he get the shader “Laurel Wreath,” which is only available if you can complete a set.

Eververse Drops Test – 11600 Silver for a complete Triumph Set

In the description of these treasures, it states that they most likely contain an item that you do not yet own. The Redditor fxmercenary investigated this matter and tested how likely this “most likely” really is.

He allegedly received 11600 Silver as a gift, which he used for this experiment – and needed it all! He writes that as preparation he bought all the missing gestures, emotes, sparrows, ships, etc. with Silver Dust, so that “most likely” only the new items should drop.

The end result: He needed the complete 11600 Silver to receive just one complete Triumph Set for his Titan. In the second to last treasure, there was the helmet that he was still missing. In addition, he received tons of consumables and Chromatin. However, he also got all the new ships and shaders.

He concludes: Although he had already completed all his collections in advance (for gestures, shaders, etc.), the drop rate for the Triumph armor pieces is extremely low. However, he is now very satisfied with the look of his Titan:

This test by a single user is of course not representative, but it underscores the criticism of many Guardians towards the Treasures of Ages.

By the way: 5 Treasures of Ages cost 800 Silver. 5800 Silver costs 50 euros.

What do you think? Have you already obtained a complete Triumph Set?

Guild Wars 2: Things are tense – Why is the MMORPG not doing well right now?

Gastbeitrag Gastbeitrag Reading time 5 minutes

It has become quiet around the once flagship MMORPG Guild Wars 2 by NCSoft. Our reader Erzkanzler is getting to the bottom of it.

I see a cause for the current state of Guild Wars 2 in the player-friendly update strategy of the game. At first, this sounds contradictory, but it becomes clear compared to other MMOs. Blizzard, for example, releases big expansions year after year at inflated prices. In WoW, the expansions are usually extensive. Even players who have left WoW return by droves during an expansion to check out new areas, classes, raids, and mechanics.

gw 2

Even if they are not engaged for long, they buy the expansion and thus support the further development of the MMORPG.

The Living World is the Problem of Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet, on the other hand, is hindering itself with Guild Wars 2. The reason for this is the so-called “Living World” – an update philosophy that constantly expands the game in smaller story and area expansions. These updates are free for players who log in during the month of release. Anyone who missed an episode can unlock it later through the in-game shop.

The effects on the game are mostly marginal. The majority of players seem to be sufficiently occupied with the multitude of options offered in the game. They explore the world, frolic in dungeons and fractals, or bang their heads together in PvP: either in “World vs. World” or in competitive sPvP.

gw 3

Guild Wars 2 offers game content for months or even years, even without updates. And if that is not enough, one can turn to the only released paid expansion Heart of Thorns and gain access to various additional content.

There is no point to return to Guild Wars 2

And this positive trait becomes a problem for Guild Wars 2. There is hardly ever a time when it is worth it for former players to return. I myself have played it for a long time and intensively. Since Guild Wars 2 does not have a subscription model, I stop by from time to time to take my horde of characters for a short walk.

Even as a keen observer, I repeatedly miss new features and smaller expansions. When I take the time to read up on the content expansions since Heart of Thorns in the well-maintained wiki of the game, even the summary is a sight to behold.

  • The raid that came with the expansion Heart of Thorns has been expanded by two wings,
  • the use of gliders in the areas of the former base game has been enabled,
  • new legendary weapons have been implemented,
  • new fractals (dungeons) and PvP maps have been added.
  • And last but not least, the world map has been expanded with four new play areas.

Not bad for free content, right?

Guild Wars 2 lacks impact

If these contents were bundled and released in an update, a large part of the regular players would surely be willing to pay for this content. But of course, no one complains about free content. However, this strategy of “small chunks” prevents former players from seeing the entirety of the changes, and the media response is – who would have expected it – lower than with major, paid expansions. Potential new players are also harder to attract this way.

ArenaNet has always been a remarkable developer. Hardly anyone considered a Buy2Play MMO to be realistically financially feasible or even believed in a financial success. The first title of these ambitious former Blizzard employees proved the opposite from mid-2005: Guild Wars 1. By 2010, the sales figures were over 7 million copies. And even today, the first part has its loyal fans.

guild-wars-2-primordius

Even though many do not see the successor Guild Wars 2 in the tradition of the first part, the second part also has its loyal fanbase. ArenaNet can therefore afford community management with small content expansions. Money is generated by the in-game shop through costumes, colors, and other non-game-affecting offers.

Heart of Thorns – Not as successful as hoped

It is no secret that the last major expansion was probably not as successful as hoped. The next major expansion was indeed already mentioned in January 2016 at the edge of a blog post by the developers, but there has been no sign of life since. Only an alleged screenshot has been leaked, and content-wise, it seems to provide a credible scenario with the Crystal Desert. Various other small hints, such as minor changes to the world map, support these speculations. However, there is no official information.

Ultimately, the question remains whether a developer can afford the luxury of only managing existing customers nowadays and reducing communication about possible future content to a minimum. The community is divided, many wish for more information about a content expansion, also to keep the existing players in the game.

Guild-Wars-2-Eureka

But there are also warning voices that recall too optimistic promises from ArenaNet before Heart of Thorns. It will probably be impossible to please everyone, as always.

In my opinion, ArenaNet should find a middle ground, both in communication and in content marketing. A little hype train would certainly not hurt the somewhat dusty game at the moment, especially since Heart of Thorns has been on the servers since the end of October 2015. And even though I always enjoy the almost familial “Guild Chat” of the developers on Twitch, a bit more future prospects would be appreciated.

Especially since it will take a long time after an expansion announcement until we see this content on the server.

What keeps you hooked in your favorite game? Is it rather small, but many free expansions, or do you prefer large, paid expansions?

Total War Arena: Free2Play spin-off is an addition, not a replacement

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Wargaming and Creative Assembly are launching a free-to-play game, Total War Arena, which mixes the strategic/tactical gameplay of a regular Total War with the gameplay mechanics of a free-to-play title like World of Tanks.

The Total War series games have been known for complex strategy and tactics since the first Shogun game, where you plan campaigns on a large map and then engage in real-time battles with thousands of soldiers.

The Total War spin-off, Total War Arena, takes the exciting tactical real-time battles and packages them in a fast-paced free-to-play model like World of Tanks!

Total War Arena – Epic Moments through Chance

Total War Arena completely ignores the strategy part and throws you straight into battle. Before the fight, you choose your leader and three units to accompany him. The commanders come from antiquity and can be Romans, Greeks, or Barbarians. You have infantry, cavalry, catapults, or archers available as units.

total war arena alpha screen

But you are not fighting alone with your units against a single opponent. Rather, you start with nine other players, each commanding a leader with three units. This creates a decent horde of troops on each side, and under the right circumstances, epic mass battles can occur like in the movies 300 or “The Lord of the Rings”.

Total War Arena – Friendly Fire and Progress

To succeed in Total War Arena, you must work well as a team. Otherwise, it can easily happen that you lose your archers because your teammate didn’t keep them well protected with his hoplite phalanx. Or you might position your game-changing catapults so poorly that they hit your allied troops. Friendly fire is always an issue in Total War Arena.

total-war-arena-alpha-screen

After each match, you receive resources and experience, with which you can upgrade your units, just like in World of Tanks. This way, you gradually improve the abilities of your soldiers and teach them new tricks, such as the extremely strong tortoise formation of the Roman legionnaires. Game progress shall be able to be accelerated with real money, as is common with free-to-play games. However, the developers promise not to allow pay-to-win.

Total War Arena – Not a Competitor to the Main Series

The gameplay of Total War Arena is said to be much faster and more dynamic than the rather leisurely battles of series entries like Rome or Medieval. In just under ten minutes, the whole spectacle can already be over, and tactical mistakes are punished quickly. With this different focus in the well-known concept, Arena aims to appeal to Total War fans while not posing any competition to upcoming entries in the regular Total War series.

Rather, Total War Arena should be understood as a complement and not a replacement. Unfortunately, a release date is not yet known, nor whether there will be a console version. However, Wargaming does not want to rule that out.

Whining Wednesday: The Multiplayer Nerf of Mass Effect: Andromeda

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Cortyn complains a bit about Mass Effect: Andromeda. The multiplayer has some small issues that tarnish the enjoyment.

Let’s keep it short and painless again today: Yes, it’s about Mass Effect: Andromeda. No, it has nothing to do with the facial animations or the voice acting or specific quest issues.
This time it’s solely about the multiplayer.

Since my circle of friends has slowly overcome the initial “hype” phase and has been able to detach themselves from the single-player campaign of the game for longer than half an hour (for nourishment), we have been increasingly playing the multiplayer mode in recent weeks.

Mass Effect Andromeda Team

The multiplayer mode is fun, no doubt. However, some things become noticeable the more you play it.

For instance, there are several “protection mechanisms” that keep players from dying prematurely. A character has shield and health energy. When the shield energy is depleted, health points begin to decline with hits – nothing new there. However, what bothers me significantly are the protective barriers that have been erected within this system. When the character’s health points shrink to an inch, all enemies stop shooting at our character for 1-2 seconds.

The player gets a second chance – no matter how silly it is

Sure, this is a game mechanic intended to give the player another chance to take cover. But it’s silly. If I’m surrounded by 5 Kett because I positioned myself foolishly, I deserve to hit the ground. It’s just absurd that all enemies show mercy for a brief moment to allow me to escape. This massively disrupts the enjoyment of the game.

Mass Effect Andromeda Archon
Spontaneous peace negotiations – even the Kett give us a respite when we are close to death.

With the exception of execution animations of certain enemies that mean immediate death, the character also cannot be directly sent over this threshold.

An example: Our character has 20% health left and no shield energy. The next shot from the enemy is powerful and would normally deal 50% of our maximum health as damage – we would be down immediately. This protection mechanism now ensures that the shot does not directly kill our character but only brings them to the brink of death, where we again have 1-2 seconds of grace to take cover.

Mission objectives trivialized

Mass Effect Andromeda 2 head salarian

A second point is the nerf that took place last week. With the highly acclaimed patch 1.05, there were also some balancing changes to the multiplayer mode. Most notably, weapons and the damage of enemies were adjusted. In summary, enemies are somewhat less threatening, and the players’ weapons are stronger.

What is frustrating, however, is that some of the mission objectives have also been trivialized. For the objective “Devices”, four devices have to be activated in order. Activating takes time, so one player sits at the device while the other three protect him – at least that used to be the case. Now activating can be done within 5 seconds, which at the difficulty “Silver” means that even heavy fire cannot stop you. Cover from teammates is no longer necessary.

In a multiplayer mode that is so heavily based on cooperation, I would wish that both mentioned mechanics did not exist.

But hey – ultimately I play the multiplayer endlessly anyway – it’s just too much fun.

What patch 1.05 brought for Mass Effect: Andromeda, we have revealed in this article.

WoW: Unbelievable! US guild kills 2 bosses of the Night Fortress simultaneously

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Are you bored in World of Warcraft? Just pull the raid bosses together! That’s how it’s done in America.

The Night Fortress in World of Warcraft is still the latest raid, but the instance isn’t exactly fresh anymore. Most raiders have already cleared the fights several dozen times on normal or heroic, if they haven’t smashed one or the other boss on the mythic difficulty.

But how could we spice up the raid routine a bit? How can we make the monotonous, weekly farming of trivial bosses more exciting?

The guild Nature from the American server Tichondrius has asked themselves these questions as well and found a crystal clear answer: Just fight multiple bosses at the same time!

During their weekly visit to the Night Fortress, they decided to fight Aluriel the Spellblade and Krosus at the same time. This doubles the number of mechanics to pay attention to and puts all classes under double pressure – more damage, more tank reactions, and more healing are needed.

It’s worth noting that this was accomplished on normal difficulty, which is still quite a feat. Such an endeavor can only be done with a few bosses. Most big guys reset when pulled out of a specific area or when you leave their room.

Aluriel the Spellblade is an exception here, as she patrols through a large area of the Night Fortress and can be fought at any fixed location. That’s exactly why there is an achievement for sending her to the ground in different locations – by the way, the players of “Nature” also achieved that with their double kill.

In WoW, new followers for all classes – the Champions of the Legion Judges are waiting!

The Division: One year ago the great problems began

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

The Division had countless bugs, exploits, and balance issues in its past. A year ago, on April 12, 2016, the major concerns began.

Actually, Ubisoft’s shared-world shooter has never run completely smoothly. Even at launch, agents found an overpowered weapon in the Midas or encountered a Bullet King that let loot rain down. Cheats and hacks were also a serious issue early on. Massive had to act immediately after release against exploits, glitches, and balance issues and respond with bug fixes. Even today, corrections are necessary in many areas of the game.

However, the real problems began on April 12, 2016. This day saw the release of Update 1.1 – the first update for The Division.

division-mtw-falcon
Falcon Lost – The first Incursion

Update 1.1 brought Gear Sets – The origin of the major problems

Agents had high hopes for Update 1.1 “Incursions”. It was supposed to bring the long-awaited endgame content that was lacking. Everyone was particularly curious about the first Incursion “Falcon Lost”. In addition, Gear Sets, the introduction of the gear score, weekly and daily missions, supply drops in the Dark Zone, and the Observer camera were announced. Everything sounded tempting; the agent community was eager.

division-falconlost1

However, reality struck quickly: The Incursion “Falcon Lost” was bugged, glitches and exploits were rampant. Massive took weeks to get these issues under control. The mobile cover, which allowed players to glitch through walls, was particularly problematic. Players complained: The Incursion was unplayable. Criticism of the developers grew louder.

Really serious problems began with the introduction of certain items: the Gear Sets. These were supposed to provide variety and build diversity, but the opposite was true. The first four Gear Sets were the Vigilance, the Striker’s Battle Gear, the Tactician’s Authority, and the Nomad’s Way. It became apparent after just a few days that these were extremely unbalanced. But before Massive could bring them into balance, the next four Gear Sets arrived with Update 1.2.

Thus, it came to pass that “Vigilance” was regarded as the overpowered set for months, excelling in endgame activities. Although adjustments were made to the sets with Update 1.3, simultaneously 5 new sets were introduced! By that time, the balance had been completely destroyed, and it seemed hopeless that Massive could ever address all these problems they had been chasing for months. As soon as one problem was solved, 10 new ones appeared.

division-seekr-maske

By the way: Actually, the SEEKR set was supposed to be introduced with 1.6, but it turned out to be “broken” on the PTS. There seems to be a curse on the Gear Sets in The Division. And they originated with Update 1.1. The developers could no longer keep up with the flood of problems.

With 1.6.1 everything is supposed to get better

With each update (1.1 to 1.6), not only were bug fixes applied but also new content that came with fresh bugs. Massive announced a few weeks ago the Update 1.6.1, which is supposed to change things. This update will bring exclusively bug fixes, balance adjustments, and improvements that should enhance the agents’ experience.

The full focus should be on the current issues, without having to deal with new gameplay content. In retrospect: Such an update would have benefited the game right after 1.1 …

The Elder Scrolls Online: Voll naturbelassen – Der Hüter im Detail

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind brings you the first new class: the Warden. What the developers at Zenimax thought of the versatile nature mage, you can find out here.

The class selection in The Elder Scrolls Online is, in contrast to the vast scope of the online role-playing game, rather poor. There are only four archetypes to choose from. Although you can build them quite diversely thanks to various skill trees and weapon skills, certain concepts were left behind.

For example, the role of a ranger or druid, meaning a nature-connected mage and fighter. That is exactly what the Warden should be!

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind – “The Warden should feel organic”

According to lead designer Eric Wrobel, the idea of such a nature hero had been lingering in the minds of the developers for a while. But since neither Templars, Dragonknights, Nightblades, nor Sorcerers captured the nature flair, a new class was needed. From the beginning, care was taken to ensure that everything “felt organic”.

ESO Morrowind Trailerscreen14

Thus, the Warden summons his faithful bear companion with fluid, flowing movements. When he throws the seeds for healing plants, the beneficial flowers always grow in a chaotic random pattern like in the forest and not in lines.

ESO Morrowind Trailerscreen15

From the lore, the Warden is also clearly inspired by the chaotic and nature-bound Wood Elves (Bosmer). This people has priests of the divine Y’ffre, who use similar magic and preserve the history of the quirky elf people orally.

ESO: Morrowind – The Warden – Versatile Tank, Healer, and DD

Like nature, the Warden is also a versatile class. His three skill lines are clearly specialized in tank, healer, or damage, but with adjustments, you can change the skills individually and tailor them to your needs.

ESO Wilde Jagd 01

This way, you can boost individual effects so that they help not only you but also the whole group, making the Warden a good team player. But the damage line is also customizable. If you can aim well, you specialize in “Scorch” and specifically unleash three underground fight creatures on the enemy. Those who want reliable DPS will directly attack the opponent with the skill “Dive” and summon infallible Cliff Racers.

ESO Wilde Jagd 06

This also applies to healers. Those who want to effortlessly keep the group alive can use “Mushroom Growth” and simply heal the nearest friend. Those who prefer to play tactically can change the skill to “Beneficial Spores” and heal better when allies are close to the Warden.

If you want to see the Warden in action: The developers at Zenimax introduced the nature hero in a well 60-minute long Twitch stream. We have embedded the stream here for you. Enjoy!

Pokémon GO: Trainer Club Disruption – Authentication failed

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

Currently, on April 12, there is a Pokémon GO outage preventing trainers from logging into the Trainer Club.

A Pokémon GO outage is currently affecting part of the community and preventing trainers from logging in and catching new Pokémon. Apparently, this outage only affects trainers who log in with the Trainer Club. Google logins are currently functioning without issues.

Pokémon GO Down? Server Issues at the Trainer Club

Since this morning, trainers have been reporting issues with the Pokémon GO login servers. On social media, trainers are stating that they have issues logging into the Trainer Club. After entering their data, the error “Authentication Failed” appears, or the Pokemon.de website is having problems, and an administrator has been contacted.

Pokemon GO Trainer Club

The developers at Niantic have not yet commented on the issues affecting parts of the community. As soon as we have news about the issues, we will update this article and inform you.

SWTOR: Patch 5.2 verzögert – Qualität passt noch nicht

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The SWTOR update has been postponed by a week. The team is not yet satisfied with the quality of the new patch.

Players of Star Wars: The Old Republic were supposed to be frolicking on Iokath by now, engaging in battles against machines and helping either the Republic or the Empire regain power. But things turned out differently than expected. Patch 5.2 “War for Iokath” has been postponed by a week and will now be released no earlier than April 18, 2017.

In the official forum, Eric Musco, the SWTOR Community Manager, commented on this topic and explained:

SWTOR War for Iokath Tyth

“We want to ensure that all our updates are released with the best possible quality, and Patch 5.2 The War for Iokath is no exception. Currently, we are still not satisfied with the quality of the patch. Therefore, we are postponing the release of Patch 5.2 by a week, so it will be released on April 18. We did not make this decision lightly, as we know how much you all want to see the new story, reunite with old companions, and destroy the God of Wrath.”

Fans will have to wait another 7 days. As a small consolation, the current event has been extended for 250% experience and will last until the patch is released next week.

In “War for Iokath”, the focus is primarily on the titular planet, which consists largely of droids and other machines. The outsider must decide to whom the new resources will be allocated: the Republic or the Empire.

Rumors suggest that life might soon return to the KOTOR series – is there any truth to this?

ARK Survival Evolved: Yutyrannus – Warlord on the Battlefield

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

A new dossier has been released for ARK Survival Evolved. The Yutyrannus has been introduced and will assist survivors primarily in combat.

Studio Wildcard released a new dossier and introduced the Yutyrannus. It is believed to be related to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. One cannot deny a certain resemblance. Notably, the Yutyrannus is adorned with feathers that cover it from head to toe.

Yutyrannus – Its roar spreads fear and terror

Normally, feathered hunters are not necessarily dangerous to survivors in Ark. However, this is quite different with the Yutyrannus. Humans and animals must be cautious around it. It has been observed that the Yutyrannus hunts alongside the hostile Carnotaurus. Other creatures respect the feathered tyrant.

The Yutyrannus is the only dino that sends other creatures into panic with its roar. As soon as its scream sounds, everything around it flees to safety.

ark Yutyrannus_Dossier

Taming the Yutyrannus: The war general instills courage and spreads fear

Those who tame a Yutyrannus gain a strong warrior on the battlefield. It can be used for attack and defense. The Yutyrannus seems to possess a special ability that makes it the general of a dino army. Its roar instills fear in all creatures and enemies.

With training, the Yutyrannus’ roar becomes a battle cry that gives courage to allies. Due to these special leadership qualities, this dino becomes almost a “must” on the battlefield. Anyone looking to engage in larger battles should have the Yutyrannus by their side.

Currently, only the dossier of the Yutyrannus is known

The dossier of the Yutyrannus has been published. It is still unclear when it will be added to Ark Survival Evolved. The dossier indicates that the Yutyrannus will have a clear role as a warlord. Whether it can be ridden and how it can be tamed is still unknown.

When the Yutyrannus will arrive is still unknown. You can see which new dinos will arrive in Patch v257 for Ark here.

Overwatch: Aufstand – Alle neuen Skins, Emotes und Highlight-Intros

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The “Uprising” event in Overwatch features many new cosmetic items. We show you all the skins, emotes, and highlight intros from patch 1.10.

Yesterday, on April 11, 2017, a new in-game event began in Overwatch. The “Uprising” event (fr. Insurrection / eng. Uprising) mainly revolves around the backstory of Overwatch – at least narratively. The truth is, of course, that it’s about acquiring the new cosmetic items that will be available in the game for nearly 3 weeks. We have listed all the new skins, highlight intros, and emotes for you to give you an overview.

The new skins (New Skins) from the Overwatch event “Uprising”

This time, there are no losers among the skins, only winners.

Especially the “classic deployment team” of Mercy, Torbjörn, Reinhardt, and Tracer should appeal to many fans. Widowmaker now sports a crop top and has a healthier skin tone – no wonder, at that time her heart rate was still normal. The two battle omnics are outfitted in the Null Sector style, and McCree as well as Genji finally get their “Blackwatch” skin… at last. (Click to enlarge)

  • Overwatch Genji Blackwatch

The highlight intros from “Uprising”

No question. D.Va is the big winner.

The emotes from “Uprising”

Anyone who isn’t lucky enough to get all those cool upgrades can craft skins, emotes, and highlight intros themselves by spending credits. Credits are earned for duplicate items from loot boxes. But be careful: special items cost three times the normal price, as they are time-limited. So think twice about whether you really want to pay the price for a skin.

The “Uprising” event in Overwatch lasts until May 1, 2017. After that, no new “Uprising” loot boxes can be purchased or earned, instead only the “regular” loot boxes will be available.

A spray logo from “Uprising” even has a sad backstory. You can find out what Widowmaker has to do with it in this post.

Diablo 3 Necromancer: Beta test is now live – PTR patch notes 2.6.0

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The beta test for the Necromancer in Diablo 3 is now live. The patch notes for 2.6.0 include further changes such as Challenge Rifts.

Last night, Blizzard launched the beta test for the Necromancer in Diablo 3. During this testing phase, players can get an impression of the class and its individual abilities, learning how the Necro plays in various Hack & Slash situations. With revived monsters and an army of undead, you move through areas and dungeons.

Additionally, the developers released a preview of what to expect in patch 2.6.0. This includes new Challenge Rifts that will change regularly.

Necromancer Beta

Diablo 3 Screenshot Necro2

The time has come, and the beta test for the Necromancer has started. However, this is only available for players who have received an invitation for this testing phase. Keep an eye on your email inboxes. All others will have to wait for the release of the Necromancer in patch 2.6.0, which currently has no official date yet.

Diablo 3 Screenshot Necro 12

The Necromancer is considered a master of the dark arts, commanding the powers of life and death to restore balance. The Necromancers are powerful spellcasters who annihilate their enemies with both curses and revived minions. Additionally, they are aided by a versatile army of undead.

Blood and Bone are the essential building blocks of the playstyle of the new class in Diablo 3. An introduction to the skills of the Necromancer will follow shortly on Mein-MMO.de.

PTR Patch Notes 2.6.0

The new patch 2.6.0 will offer additional changes alongside the Necromancer, aiming to bring some fresh wind to Diablo 3. To distract a bit from the “grind,” there will be Challenge Rifts that change weekly.

General

  • New Feature – Challenge Rifts
  • You can try out new builds from other players in a dungeon that changes weekly. You can start the Challenge Rifts, similar to the Adventure and Story mode, from the game’s main screen.
  • During the beta, new Challenge Rifts may be available more frequently for testing purposes.

Adventure Mode

  • New Zones: “The Marshes” and “The Temple of the Firstborn”
  • Shrouded in fog are “The Marshes,” a new area in Diablo 3. You can reach them, just like the dark Temple of the Firstborn, through a new waypoint in Act 2 and explore them in Adventure Mode.
  • Set Rifts
  • The user interface of the Set Rifts has been updated to clearly and understandably explain the requirements for completing the levels.
  • Thus, the base level criteria must be completed within the time limit.
  • Bounties
  • Four new waypoints await you in Act IV. Each of them offers you a new bounty to complete. “These fate spheres are the unforeseen consequences of the battle between the Nephalem and Diablo in the High Heavens.”

Destiny Iron Banner April 2017: Strong Weapon Rolls and 100% Gear!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, the Iron Banner runs in April 2017. Lord Efrideet brings a strong offering. What weapon rolls does she have and which armor pieces provide 100% for T12?

With the start of the “Iron Banner,” Lord Efrideet took her usual place at the Felwinter Peak. She is your contact for this PvP event. She has bounties for you and, at certain Iron Banner ranks, also armor pieces and weapons.

With Iron Banner Gear to T12 – This is the 100% Armor

T12 is mentioned when your Guardian can fill 12 slots in the attributes of Intellect, Discipline, and Strength. If you want to achieve this, you need armor pieces that have an average of over 96% of the possible stat rolls. This week, all items with Efrideet have at least 96%, so you can buy them without concern. These items achieve a solid 100%:

  • Titan: Class item (25 Intellect, 25 Discipline), Gloves (41 Discipline, 41 Strength)
  • Warlock: Class item (25 Intellect, 25 Discipline)
  • Hunter: Class item (25 Intellect, 25 Discipline)

These items are available from Iron Banner Rank 3 for 25 Legendary Marks.

destiny-proud-tower-top
The Proud Tower Top – Shotgun

From Iron Banner Rank 4 and with 50 Legendary Marks, you can acquire The Proud Tower Top. It deals Void damage and has a Light level of 380. This shotgun was forged in honor of Silimar and belongs to the archetype with a high fire rate but low impact. Reload speed, stability, and aim assist are above average, while range is low.

These are the perks:

Linear Compensator, Improved Ballistics, or Field Choke

You have the choice between:

  • Enhanced Barrel: Increased range, slower reload
  • Oiled Frame: Fast reload, reduced range

Choice between:

  • Lightweight: +2 Character Agility
  • Attached Magazine: Larger magazine, slower reload

Choice between:

  • Performance Bonus: Kills can grant additional reserve ammunition
  • Life Support: Kills while severely wounded can initiate health regeneration

destiny-tree
The Unbent Tree – Auto Rifle

You can only buy The Unbent Tree from Rank 5 and with 50 Legendary Marks. This auto rifle was forged in honor of Saladin and has a max fire rate of 100, but a minimum impact of 2. Magazine and reload speed are top-notch, but range and stability are poor.

These are the perks:

Iron Red Dot, Iron Warrior Scope, and Iron Range Scope

You have the choice between:

  • Perfect Balance
  • Stabilized Frame: Increased stability, reduced magazine size

Choice between:

  • Lightweight: +2 Character Agility
  • Spring Magazine: Faster reload, reduced magazine size

Choice between:

  • Balance Adjustment: Stability increased
  • Hip Fire: Additional precision when firing from the hip

The Unbent Tree definitely needs more stability, which you can achieve here with Perfect Balance, Stabilized Frame, and Balance Adjustment. If you want to test the gun, you can certainly grab it here.

Good luck in the Iron Banner!

WoW: Legion Guide – How to get the Mastermind’s Thought Wyrm

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The riddle of the Riddler’s Mind Worm is solved. We will tell you step by step how to get it.

This article was originally published in April 2017. We have updated it since.

After we reported a while ago that the World of Warcraft community is on a hot trail, the riddle of the “Riddler’s Mind Worm” has now been solved. The flying mount awaits all players at the end of a rather long and difficult scavenger hunt that would likely never have been solved by a single player.

The scavenger hunt leads players across all of Azeroth, where they must find and click various pages of a book to make the next page visible. However, the clues on the book pages are very cryptic, and there is no clear direction.

In the early hours of April 12th, the Riddlers of the “WoW Secret Finding” Discord server finally deciphered the last hint and obtained the mount. We will now tell you how you can also get the mount.

How to Find the Riddler’s Mind Worm

You must click all pages in order. There is no time pressure, but after the weekly maintenance your progress will be reset – so it’s best to check all pages in one day.

WoW Riddler's Worm 1

Page 1 can be found in the current Dalaran, in a bookshelf in the central inn.

WoW Riddler's Worm 2

Page 2 is located in Darkshore, in the central crater at a moonwell, near the Dreamportal (coordinates 49 / 33).

WoW Riddler's Worm 3

Page 3 is waiting in the raid instance Firelands near the final boss Ragnaros. The next hint is located at the edge of the battle platform.

WoW Riddler's Worm 4

For Page 4, you need to travel to Uldum, to the southeast of the area, where the river flows into the sea. The note is at coordinates 70 / 78.

WoW Riddler's Worm 5

Page 5 can be found in the raid instance “The Siege of Orgrimmar” – the note is hidden in the boss chamber of the “Sha of Pride”.

WoW Riddler's Worm 6

Page 6 is located in the instance “The Well of Eternity” in the Caverns of Time. Play through the instance to the end, the note is on the southeastern shore of the well.

WoW Riddler's Worm 7

Page 7 is located in Pandaria, in the Kun-Lai Summit. Hidden on a small ledge by the Shado-Pan Monastery (coordinates 34 / 51).

WoW Riddler's Worm 8

The final Page 8 is in Uldum, in the eastern part of the area. At a statue at coordinates 76 / 53, almost perfectly camouflaged with the color of the stone.

WoW Riddler's Worm 9

After that, you need to go to Westfall, where the Riddler’s chest containing the mount is located. It is found in the wreckage of a small boat at coordinates 30 / 28.

Have fun with the mount!

The screenshots shown were taken from the Discord server, the corresponding Imgur page is noted in our sources. The many active players there deserve the thanks for solving this riddle, especially the screenshots used here from Ashley.

Do you still need the mount from Kosumoth? We will tell you how to get it here.

Overwatch: Patch Notes 1.10/2.09 – Lucio Change and Orisa Buff!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 1.10/2.09 for Overwatch is live and has changed the favorite healer. The tank newcomer Orisa receives a small buff.

Today, on April 11, 2017, the event “Uprising” of Overwatch went live. But alongside the new game mode where 4 players fight against Omnic hordes, there were also some balance changes. We have translated the patch notes for patch 1.10 (PC), 2.09 (PS4) of Overwatch for you, which concern the game balance.

Patch notes for Overwatch 1.10/2.09 – Here are the hero changes

Lúcio

Sound Amplifier
  • Damage increased by 25%
  • Projectile speed increased from 40 to 50
  • The alternate fire mode now considers the vertical orientation of the weapon when it knocks back opponents

  • Effective radius reduced from 30 meters to 10 meters
  • Healing Song
    • Healing per second increased by 30% (also affects Lúcio’s “Amp it Up”)

  • Movement speed during wall rides increased by 20%
  • Lúcio now receives a brief speed boost when he pushes off a wall

Orisa

  • The size of Orisa’s headshot hitbox has been reduced by 15%
    Overwatch Orisa Highlight

Besides the hero changes, there are also some new features on the maps. In Eichenwalde, a new path has been built for attackers, connecting the attackers’ spawn room with the control point. Fights will no longer only take place “under the bridge,” which made many matches monotonous.

In addition, there are numerous bug fixes and small improvements. Each character now has a short description in the hero gallery. Reporting toxic players is now also easier, and violations are clearly illustrated with examples. You can find the complete patch notes in their original English version in our sources.

Overwatch: New Event “Uprising” now live!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The latest event from Overwatch is now live. The “Uprising” brings numerous new skins and finally a fresh PvE mode! However, there are no Overwatch patch notes.

As promised, Overwatch today, on April 11, 2017, launched a new event. The “Uprising” brings a lot of new cosmetic upgrades and even a fresh game mode. The latest Overwatch patch is about 1.5 GB on PC and may therefore take a while to download on slower connections.

During the event, all new loot boxes will be replaced with special event loot boxes that may contain all new cosmetic upgrades.

Overwatch Uprising Reinhardt Menu Pose

The eponymous “Uprising” is a key event in Overwatch’s past, just before the organization is disbanded. Overwatch is already embroiled in negative news and has no real authority to act – especially not in England. Nevertheless, a team is sent to bring the situation under control.

The event includes not only numerous new skins, highlight intros, and spray logos but primarily the coveted PvE mode “Uprising”, in which four players must work together to contain the threat of the Omnics and complete various mission objectives. Depending on the performance, there are then experience points and thus loot boxes. The new game mode can be selected through the Arcade and is also only available until the end of the event.

New Skins and Game Modes in Overwatch’s Uprising

Among the most sought-after items are probably the new skins, which showcase the well-known Overwatch heroes in outfits.

Link to the YouTube content

The event runs from April 11 to May 1 inclusive. Anyone looking to secure corresponding loot boxes with a chance of new skins, sprays, voicelines, and emotes should play more Overwatch in the coming weeks and perhaps let the May tour fall through. Or simply throw a bunch of money at the problem, as loot boxes can also be purchased with real money.

There are no patch notes yet for the “Uprising” – however, the update probably only contains the new game modes and cosmetic expansions.

Making aimbots is bad, by the way. It often leads to imprisonment.

Destiny: Iron Banner in April 2017 is live! Here’s how to get the loot

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, the Iron Banner started in April 2017. How you can get the loot is explained here.

The last Iron Banner event in Destiny was the “February Iron Banner”. This took place from late February into March. Therefore, there was no separate “March Iron Banner” – possibly also because with the Age of Triumph, an irregularity occurred in the usual monthly rhythm.

Now the PvP event is back as the April Iron Banner. It starts on April 11 at 7 PM and ends on April 18 at 11 AM. The game mode is Control. Here, there are zones A, B, and C, and at this point, we have two tips: Don’t just shoot at the opponents, but also capture zones. And: Owning two zones is enough.

The featured weapons are the auto rifle “The Unyielding Tree” and the shotgun “The Proud Spire“. Additionally, Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters have gloves and class items.

Updates since the Age of Triumph:

  • There is now a chance that Dusty Iron Engrams will contain “Iron Companions” armor pieces from Year 2.
  • The rewards for Iron Banner matches have been updated and now include “Iron Companions” armor pieces from Year 2.
  • The chance for armor pieces from Year 1 and Year 2 in Iron Banner matches has been slightly increased.
  • Some items from Efrideet’s dealer have updated perks.

The Iron Banner Loot – How to Get It

If you are new to Destiny or haven’t played Iron Banner in a while, here are the key facts about the loot. There are four ways to get the loot:

  • Purchase from Efrideet: Every month, Efrideet offers two of the “Iron Banner” weapons with fixed perks: This time the auto rifle and the shotgun. The armor pieces can also be purchased from her.
  • Random drop after Iron Banner matches: The two weapons offered by Efrideet can drop after matches with random perks. Also, the armor pieces and other Iron Banner-specific rewards.
  • Reward for completing bounty quests: If you successfully complete Efrideet’s bounties, you will receive an immediate reward. Any Iron Banner gear piece can randomly be included, not just the items featured this week.
  • Random reward for the quest “The Pursuit of Light”, where you need to reach rank 1, 3, and 5 in Iron Banner. This quest is available only once!

Information on all Iron Banner weapons can be found here.
