Hearthstone: Are the Un’Goro packs bugged? – Blizzard responds

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The players of Un’Goro are upset. There are again way too many duplicates in the packs at Hearthstone.

hs_ung_neu_rar_9

Since last night (April 7, 2017), the latest Hearthstone expansion “Journey to Un’Goro” is live, and players can finally open their pre-ordered and earned card packs. But as the first players open their first dozen packs, strange incidents occur.

Again and again, the same cards are drawn from the packs, particularly notable is the Volcanosaur, which appears in every third or fourth card pack for many players.

A very similar problem occurred with the release of the last expansion “The Streets of Gadgetzan”. Here too, there was initially a massively increased chance of receiving “Triple-Class Cards,” and other rare cards were – well – significantly rarer.

The same mistakes as in Gadgetzan?

Something similar seems to be happening now, as many rare cards simply do not appear. There is – at least according to users in the forum – no trace of a fair distribution of cards in the packs.

On Reddit, comments are increasing that Blizzard is actively deleting posts in the official forum that address this issue. However, this has not been confirmed. Whether these incidents are really a bug or just “extremely bad luck” for some individuals is still hard to assess at this point.

The same mistakes as in Gadgetzan?

A statement from Blizzard on this issue is still pending but is likely to come within the next few hours.

Our tip: Do not open any more packs until there is an official statement from Blizzard on this.

What has been your yield with the card packs so far? Do you prefer to wait, or have you already torn open all the packs and are now heavily disappointed? Are you also affected by the problem of all the duplicates?

Blizzard responds

Update April 8, 20:45: The complaints have elicited a response from Blizzard: Community Manager Nik “Daxarri” Gianozakos says: They have heard the complaints about how many duplicates there are. He assures everyone in the Blizzard forum that they have looked into the matter. The distribution of cards in “Journey to Un’Goro” proceeds as planned. The distribution rates are in line with those of previous Hearthstone expansions. From Blizzard’s perspective, everything is fine and nothing is buggy.

You can find all 135 cards from “Journey to Un’Goro” in this post.

Final Fantasy XIV und WoW kämpfen um die Liebe eines Streamers

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitter accounts of the MMORPG giants World of Warcraft (WoW) and Final Fantasy XIV are having an amusing exchange on Twitter.

The streamer S1N3N may not be among the biggest streamers, but his innocent question has now caught the attention of the two giants in the MMORPG field.

Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft – Who is the prettiest in the land?

S1N3N asked on Twitter: “Should I play Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft?”

The official Twitter account of WoW replied: Warcraft! We let you shoot laser beams from your eyes!

Then the Twitter account of Final Fantasy XIV chimed in: Laser eyes, huh? Here you have a building-sized meteor!

Warcraft asks: Building-sized? Gul’dan certainly has something to say about that!

Final Fantasy XIV topped that with: Okay, that’s big, but here’s an entire moon that becomes Bahamut! If Deathwing is lucky, he might get an audition.

WoW then: Destroying moons? That’s cute. What do you think about destroying entire worlds?

The streamer can hardly believe his luck that his tweet has sparked these reactions. He enjoys this attention and visibly revels in it.

What he ultimately plays, whether he spends his hours in WoW or Final Fantasy XIV, he leaves open. The latest videos on his Twitch account show him playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: That’s something completely different.

US site sees a paradigm shift… Well

The US site Massively sees the conflict between FF14 and WoW as a somewhat sharp-tongued change in the MMORPG landscape. In the past, World of Warcraft largely ignored all other MMORPGs and only borrowed from their latest ideas when a WoW expansion was due – they liked to borrow a few features.

This discussion now shows that times have changed. WoW can no longer simply destroy and absorb other MMOs as it used to.

We think: The demon should be left in the Nether. Paradigm shift is a bit far-fetched, but the Twitter “dispute” is certainly entertaining.

How we see the situation at both MMORPGs and 3 others, you can read in this article:

Destiny: Smaller streamers start a fundraising campaign for terminally ill children

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the German community of Destiny there is a new movement in April. Smaller Destiny streamers have come together to raise money for dying children.

We are not RealKraftyy, but we want to help

“We are not RealKraftyy, but we want to help,” that would be a way to summarize the idea of “Helli the Hell.” The streamer is 39 and comes from Düsseldorf.

He may not have the reach of the big English-speaking streamers, and there are also larger German streamers who collaborate with Facebook groups or fan pages, but Helli has a mission.

The Düsseldorfer wants to help the local children’s hospice “Regenbogenland” by collecting donations for it in his Destiny stream.

The Regenbogenland cares for terminally ill, multiply disabled, and severely disabled children in Düsseldorf who have only a limited life expectancy. At Regenbogenland, life and joy of living should be the focus. There are playrooms where the siblings of the children can play with the little ones: The children’s hospice should be like a second home, relieving the families of the children.

The hospice is funded 75% by donations. Every euro can help secure the future of the hospice.

In April, “Helli the Hell” decided to donate everything that comes in as money from donations during his stream to the children’s hospice. He knows that people on the internet are often skeptical about such fundraising campaigns, so he says: “If you don’t want to do it through me, donate directly to the children’s hospice.” Here is the website of the Kinderhospiz Regenbogenland.

Helli also wants to send donation receipts issued by the hospice to anyone who provides him with their private address.

https://www.twitch.tv/hellithehell

Shooting for a good cause, even if the hospice is skeptical

The donation campaign has been running since April 1st, and some other smaller German-speaking streamers like the Team Niederroler from Austria and PanDa_mir have joined the campaign. They are also donating their contributions to the Kinderhospiz Regenbogenland in April.

It is going significantly better than expected. Since the beginning of the month, over 1000€ has already been raised for the hospice, says Helli.

However, the action is not running completely smoothly. The children’s hospice was skeptical when they heard that “shooter players” were donating. They fear it could scare away other donors if they are associated with “violence-glorifying games.” However, there is a compromise: The hospice’s logo will not be displayed in the livestream when Destiny is played.

Mein MMO believes: “Shooting for a good cause” – this may come across a bit strange in public. However, for gamers, this conflict does not exist. Therefore, we are happy to support the campaign.

The Black Death: Update The Long Night soll kriselndes MMORPG retten

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG The Black Death is in crisis. The few players on the server have led the developers to rethink their strategy and now they have released a major update.

With the update The Long Knight, the developer studio Syrin Studios aims to herald a turning point for the MMORPG The Black Death. So far, the game has not been particularly well received. Only a handful of players were online at the same time via Steam. Many buyers believe that the developers released the Early Access version too early. However, with the major update, this is supposed to change.

the black death 1
Day and Night and many other innovations

The Long Night introduces a day and night cycle, which also impacts the gameplay. Each day that a player spends in the dark, plague-ridden medieval world brings bonuses and gold.

Additionally, you can craft torches and light campfires, which especially benefits you at night when enemies are nearby. Furthermore, the game’s performance has been optimized, and it is now possible to start Dedicated Servers. There are also further changes to loot, respawning, the combat system, crafting, and skills.

Overall, a lot of revisions and improvements are on their way to The Black, making The Long Night the biggest update yet for the MMORPG. The release of the update has led to a doubling of player numbers. However, this only means that instead of around 30 players, currently about 65 are online at peak times according to Steamcharts.

Players are still disappointed

The update has had little impact on players’ previous opinions about the MMO. Although many have given the game another chance, they still do not seem very enthusiastic.

The update is just a drop in the bucket. Server issues, crashes, and a reset of housing are just a few of the problems currently frustrating players. The developer studio still has a long way to go to make The Black Death a good game. Let’s hope that the fans can hold on for as long…

Pokémon GO: Spring brings you back to the game – Co-op gameplay

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Can Pokémon GO trigger a new hype this year? With the planned features for 2017, the developers want to provide even more reasons to play.

According to the developers, there will soon be many reasons to play Pokémon GO and to spend time outdoors again. Over 65 million players engage with the augmented reality hit every month, inspiring the developers to continue improving the game. Therefore, this spring, cooperative gameplay will be introduced, which aims to provide you with a new gaming experience and may make the game even more popular.

Pokémon GO News – Planned Features in 2017

A few days ago, Pokémon GO won the award for Best Mobile and Handheld Game at the British Academy of Film, Television and Arts Game Awards. The developers express their gratitude for this award to the many millions of trainers who regularly log into Pokémon GO. Soon there will be more reasons to step into the world of Pikachu, Squirtle, and friends. In a blog post, the developers reveal what’s coming your way:

Pokemon GO Trading PVP Title

“We are still at the beginning of a great adventure. With the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere, players can look forward to new social and cooperative gameplay experiences that will provide trainers with new and exciting reasons to play in the sunshine again.”

One of these planned features could be the trading function. As the developers revealed, the trading feature won’t operate over the Internet, but will enhance the social aspect of Pokémon GO. Fans have been wishing for this feature much earlier in the game. However, there were good reasons why the developers waited with this function. The culprit is a very specific group of Pokémon GO players.

The planned cooperative experiences might also be closer than some trainers expect. In the code of the Pokémon GO Update 0.61.0 , interesting changes were found. Among other things, there were hints of raids that operate socially and cooperatively. The code features lines like “nearby_raid_notification_toast” “Nearby raid starting soon!”.

At the moment, experts assume that these raids will be used in Pokémon GO to plan and conduct group attacks on gyms. It may be possible to invite teammates from the same team to join in taking down gyms in the area.

World of Tanks: “We can easily last another 30 years!”

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The tank online game World of Tanks is expected by Wargaming manager Mohamed Fadl to remain online for another 30 years or more without any problems. Moreover, the esports manager commented in an interview on Gamespot about sports betting in World of Tanks.

World of Tanks, the online tank fun from Wargaming, has been on the market for almost seven years, but according to Wargaming’s Head of Global Competitive Gaming, Mohamed “Mo” Fadl, the game could easily be played for another 30 years or more. According to the “Games as a Service” concept, the game would be continuously improved and updated.

World of Tanks – “We compete with the top games every year!”

Due to its many updates, World of Tanks will always remain fresh according to Fadl: “Free2Play games that get as far [as World of Tanks] will never get old. It’s like a body with a heartbeat. It pumps fresh blood through the circulatory system every day.”

world of tanks M6A2E1

As one top manager at Epic Games said about Paragon, Mo Fadl also believes that successful free-to-play online games like World of Tanks need to be planned for the long term. Therefore, they must also be competitive every year with all current games (and those from the past).

World of Tanks Esports – Betting is part of it

Mohamed Fadl and his colleague Jungwon Hahn (GM for the Pacific region) also spoke about the issue of betting in esports. “It would be foolish to say that betting is bad,” Fadl said. Rather, they are “a natural part of all sports”. However, it is always a problem when real money is involved.

World-of-Tanks-2

Nevertheless, Wargaming does not want to completely ban this and is currently considering a concept. They may want to offer betting with virtual money. However, Wargaming has no control over real money bets outside the game. Therefore, they must approach the matter very carefully, but Wargaming definitely wants to do something in this direction, as there is a high demand for betting.

WoT – Paid pro players and 15vs.15 esports

In the interview, Mo and Jungwon Hahn also addressed the topic of paying pro players a salary, as Blizzard does for Overwatch. They need more data for that. It’s questionable how long Blizzard can continue to do this.

Additionally, it was mentioned that currently the PC leads the WoT esports scene, but consoles will likely soon have the necessary “critical mass” of players and experience for esports.

World-of-Tanks-IS3

Moreover, Mohamed Fadl still plans to increase the esports matches to 15vs.15 players instead of the usual 7vs.7 matches in a future update. After all, the regular WoT is played in teams of 15!

Also interesting: World of Tanks is supposed to last forever!

Should Pokémon GO: Arena Defenders soon be fed?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A new feature could soon ensure that arena defenders cannot stay in an arena indefinitely. Pokémon GO trainers would have to take care of their monsters.

The new Pokémon GO update 0.61.0 may offer much more than what the developers explained in the patch notes. Data mining reveals interesting new lines in the game’s code that could announce new features and functions. As long as there are no official announcements from Niantic, it is unknown if and when these features will be implemented in the game. So enjoy the following information with caution and do not see it as a firm promise.

Despite all warnings, the discovered code lines are making the hearts of many trainers race, as something seems to be happening in the arena system. In the future, a feature could be activated that would require you to feed your arena defenders. If you do not do so, they will leave the arena and come home.

Arena defenders get hungry too

During data mining, Pokémon experts regularly look at the latest updates and investigate them for unnamed changes. In the update 0.61.0, lines mentioning the arena imply that Pokémon are hungry.

This suggests that your monsters will need to be “fed” after a certain period or after a specific number of battles in order to remain in the arena. It’s expected that trainers will need to visit the respective arenas to feed their monsters, or else they will leave the arena.

“gym_removal_notification_toast” “{0} has fought hard and returned!” “{0} は

“pokemon_hungry_notification_toast” “{0} is hungry!” “{0} はお腹が空いている”
“pokemon_lost_notification_toast” “{0} lost a battle!” “{0} は負けてしまった”
“pokemon_won_notification_toast” “{0} defended the Gym!” “{0} はジムを守った！”

The experts at TheSilphRoad are still analyzing the code and trying to determine what is significant about this code and when the arena overhaul will take place. Niantic announced weeks ago that they are not satisfied with the current function of the arenas and want to overhaul them soon.

But that’s not all: On the Pokémon Blog, the developers thank over 65 million Pokémon GO players worldwide. They also announce that trainers can “look forward to the new social and cooperative gameplay.”

This may already be a hint that a new update is not that far away. Regarding cooperative gameplay, many more promising hints have been found during data mining.

Raids in Pokémon GO? Storming arenas with multiple players?

The analysis of the code also revealed hints on possible raids in Pokémon GO. Again, it should be noted that this information has not been officially confirmed by Niantic, but has only appeared in the code thus far. The lines indicate that nearby raids are about to start.

“nearby_raid_notification_toast” “Nearby raid starting soon!” “近くのジムでバ

“nearby_raid_notification_toast|1” “There’s a raid about to start near you!”
“nearby_raid_notification_toast|2” “A raid’s going to start nearby!” “近くでバ

This feature could mean that trainers can team up with other members of the same team in the future to attack arenas together. The concept of these raids is currently only conjectured and consists purely of speculation based on the displayed code.

Destiny 2: Gameplay is coming – Bungie promises “memorable moments”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Bungie will answer players’ questions about Destiny 2 but only later.

In “This Week at Bungie,” Community Manager DeeJ speaks to the fans. This time, it was mainly about the “Iron Banner” in Destiny 1 – we reported on that. But DeeJ knows that fans have questions about Destiny 2, the new adventure. Destiny 2 has been on the community’s mind lately. After the trailer and announcement, there are so many questions.

Gameplay for Destiny 2 comes on May 18 – Should be a “memorable moment”

DeeJ says: They have heard all player questions and cataloged them. They are very grateful that players are so curious.

A portion of the questions will be answered on May 18 during a livestream. There, gameplay for Destiny 2 is supposed to be shown.

Destiny2-Gameplay

Players should already take out their calendars and mark May 18.

Bungie promises: This will be a memorable moment. It will be the first time Guardians will dive into the world of Destiny 2.

No info on Destiny 2 until then

The focus right now is on ensuring that the livestream is absolutely fantastic. Therefore, they will not make any comments on Destiny 2 until then.

But: They will continue to listen. Players should definitely keep asking questions and remain curious. They should not take it personally if they have to wait until the “right moment” to talk to players about Destiny 2.

Ark has been planning to add bees for a while

The “Giant Bee” has been planned for Ark Survival Evolved for some time. It has not been released yet, but its dossier is already known.

Its full name is “Apis Lithohermaea Drone.” These creatures are always found near their nests, which they build high in the trees on the island or on cliffs.

The queen bee is not at the swarm but always inside the nest. The drones are aggressive and sting anything that comes too close to their territory.

Large spiders already exist in Ark.

Taming the “Giant Bee” and farming honey

It is possible to tame the queen bee. She will lay new drone eggs and build a nest. Those with the right equipment can farm the honey of the creatures. Mammals find the scent of honey irresistible, making it a popular tool for hunting.

The drones follow their queen into battle, making such a nest suitable for defense. The bee’s stings significantly weaken any creature, and its stinger is firmly attached to its body. This allows the drones to sting their victims multiple times and weaken them considerably.

It is still unknown when patch v257 will be implemented and when the bee will be added to the survival MMO.

Will you build your own honey farm? Do you find the “Giant Bee” useful?

Exciting news about Black Desert. In a livestream, the developers from Pearl Abyss announced the next steps – and they are worth looking forward to.

A new class named Striker will arrive in South Korea on May 13. It resembles the Monk from other RPGs, being an unarmed martial arts fighter. It will probably be exclusively male. When the Striker awakens, he might receive a kind of combat glove.

The Striker is expected to appear soon in South Korea. We do not know when the new class will come to us in Europe. There is no release date for the Striker in Black Desert yet.

WoW: Other gangster rappers tease Bushido about his hobby

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Should you be ashamed of playing WoW ? If you’re a gangster rapper, it might at least lead to an image problem, Bushido notes.

Recently, we reported that NBA stars were really into World of Warcraft. One of the former athletes said back then: “I have never played World of Warcraft. It always sounded like a virgin to me.”

There’s no question: World of Warcraft is associated with quite a few things that don’t exactly scream “cool macho.” This is also a problem that the self-proclaimed WoW player Bushido has to deal with. As a gangster rapper, the hobby “WoW” provides a target.

Southpark-WoW
WoW: Not exactly ultra-cool, is it?

A rather difficult question: Do you want to be known as a “World of Warcraft” player?

The online role-playing game has a certain reputation. In TV series like “South Park,” “The Big Bang Theory,” or “How I Met Your Mother,” World of Warcraft is portrayed as “nerdy.” As something that is neither cool nor masculine.

While in “How I Met Your Mother,” the ladies’ man Barney enjoys the Lair Day because it’s fantastic, nerdy Ted is scrutinized when it comes out how he met his new girlfriend.

http://youtu.be/6cj5XzJwCJA

Bushido plays WoW and has to endure quite a bit from his colleagues

It has been known for some time that the German gangster rapper Bushido, like millions of others, indulges in the hobby of World of Warcraft. In his industry, it’s common to clash with other gangster rappers regularly. You “diss” each other and have “beef.”

In 2014, the line in Kay One’s track “Judgment Day” went: “Don’t threaten me with an evil look and hair wax – What ghetto? You play World of Warcraft every day. Fight against wizards and dragons, buy swords and healing potions. How am I supposed to take you seriously, you fucking cripple?”

Other gangster rappers like Kollegah also use this point against Bushido to attack and mock him.

The message seems to be: You can’t be a “real man” if you play World of Warcraft.

Even though Bushido provides a target, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with his hobby. In a 2015 interview, he said: “That’s just my hobby. What’s the problem now? I’ve always been passionate about it […]”

He uses WoW as a counterbalance to his stressful life.

Duet or what?!

In the latest conflict, it seems that gangster rapper Farid Bang has a problem with Bushido, and again it’s about WoW.

Bang made a Facebook post where he offers Bushido to settle their conflict in person, preferably in a “World of Warcraft” duel.

Well, at least there’s no bloodshed.

Farid Bang recently had something to do with gaming: In “Ghost Recon Wildlands,” he took on a voice role. However, that’s probably not an image problem. Bang voices a gangster.

SMITE trifft Mario Kart – Patch 4.6 bringt Racing-Modus

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

SMITE revvs up and refuels. The game is getting a cart mode with wacky power-ups!

A battlefield of gods is already chaotic enough. Who wants to get in the way when Zeus is dueling Thor or Loki is finding out with Ratatoskr who can cause more mischief in the shortest time?

But the developers at HiRez apparently found it not chaotic enough yet. So what’s missing in a godly MOBA? Right, a racing mode! What feels like a belated April Fools’ joke is quite serious. With patch 4.6, SMITE is getting a new, temporary mode called “Apollo’s Racer Rumble”.

At least at first glance, this looks like a pretty amusing copy of the classic “Mario Kart” games. Whether it will play that way remains to be seen. At least the trailer makes you want more and will likely get some MOBA-weary players to spend some time in SMITE again.

Apollo’s Racer Rumble available for a limited time only

However, the mode is only temporarily available in the game.

  • On PC, it is accessible from April 11 to May 9.
  • On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it starts two weeks later, but ends a week earlier (understand that, who can): From April 25 to May 16.

Moreover, patch 4.6 also brings the “usual” goodies to the MOBA – new skins and voice packs.

Particularly impressive are the “Amazon Athena” skin and the “Winner’s Circle Apollo” in line with the racing mode. “Star Wars” fans will be excited about the new “Intergalactic Chang’e” skin, which strongly resembles Princess Leia Organa.

In terms of balancing changes, there is not much to report this time. The mage Hades is being reworked and will lose some of his health points but will deal significantly more damage with his abilities. A while ago, he was also a guardian (tank) – now he has become a fully-fledged mage.

The complete patch notes for patch 4.6 “Racer Rumble” can be found in our sources as usual.

Recently, there was an event in SMITE related to the Egyptian Pantheon.

Destiny: Trials of Osiris – The map on April 7th

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny the Trials of Osiris start today, on April 7th. What map will be played?

In the last few days, PvE has been in focus – the Glass Chamber is back and countless Guardians are daring to step into the first raid of Destiny again after years. After all, there are weapons, armor pieces, and raid ornaments to be earned and new challenges to master. You can read here how the challenges with Atheon and the Templar go.

In the coming days, there will also be things to do in the Crucible. Already tonight at 7 PM, the Trials of Osiris will begin. A few days later, on April 11th, the monthly PvP event, the Iron Banner in April, kicks off. You can read what there is to earn in the provided link.

destiny dungeons

The Trials today take place on the map The Dungeons.

What are the Trials of Osiris?

In the Trials, you will engage in PvP battles in the “Elimination” mode. You will compete against each other in three-member teams and try to fill your points card with victories. If the opposing team is completely defeated, you win a round. Fallen team members can be revived. Here, it not only depends on strong equipment, but also on communication among the Guardians. A good knowledge of the map is advantageous.

At 5 and 7 wins, there are random rewards from Osiris’s stash. You should also keep an eye on Brother Vance’s bounties for extra rewards. If you are in top form, you can reach Mercury with a “flawless” ticket and loot the chest with the fine loot there.

Good luck with the Trials, Guardians.

Xur has arrived! Since the Age of Triumph, he brings not just one weapon, but three – two of them in a bundle with ornaments. You can read here what Xur brings this time.

Star Trek Online will wissen, wie gut ihr wirklich seid

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Star Trek Online, a major performance evaluation will soon take place. The developers aim to create better and smarter matchmaking in PvP and competitive PvE.

Performance evaluations are generally quite unpleasant, for example when the boss summons you to their office with a serious expression to discuss the results. Usually, something is wrong and the job is at risk.

Star Trek Online Season 12

It’s different in Star Trek Online, as the game evaluates your performance to provide you with more fun in PvP and competitive PvE!

Star Trek Online – Performance Evaluation – Fair Matchmaking for Everyone

On the occasion of the recently introduced maneuver game mode – a competitive PvE – the developers have announced a significantly improved and completely redesigned matchmaking system. The details of how this will work are now established. The game will take your gear, levels, and specializations into account and will assign you accordingly. So far, so known.

Star Trek Online PS4 Xbox One

Additionally, STO now also evaluates your relative performance in relation to other players: how often you have won or lost. This also takes the differences between players into account. If you frequently lose against strong players, the system will adjust downwards and you’ll face easier opponents.

STO – Matchmaking – Always the Right Opponents

On the other hand, if you regularly blast the enemy into the ether, you’ll quickly rank up and will face opponents of your size in the future. Should your performance improve or decline in the future, the system will adjust again.

Star-Trek-Online-2014-Ship

The developers do not want to reveal the new system entirely, as they plan to tinker with it regularly to further optimize it.

Paladins: Auto-Buy – What is it and how do I disable it?

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

Paladins recently introduced an “Auto-Buy” system that automatically purchases items. Here’s how to disable it.

With patch OB 47, Paladins added a new feature: automatic item purchasing. Many players are now confused and believe this is a bug. However, automatic item purchasing was intentionally implemented in Paladins by Hi-Rez.

Paladins “Auto-Buy” is designed for new players

The “Auto-Buy” feature is meant to make the entry into Paladins easier for new players. In the team shooter, you can upgrade your champion during matches with item cards. This can be a challenge for some players, especially at the beginning. After all, you first have to learn the deck-building system.

paladins victor

That’s why Paladins now automatically purchases items for you if you do not turn off “Auto-Buy.” For players who just want to have some casual games in Paladins, this feature can be practical. You don’t have to think much about the item build but can dive straight into the action.

Those who have been in Paladins for a while usually prefer to build their items themselves. They have more experience and have developed strategies for using items.

Disable Auto-Buy for Items – Here’s how to turn off automatic purchasing

Automatic item purchasing has been enabled for every account since OB 47. You can simply disable Auto-Buy:

  • Go to settings
  • Click on gameplay
  • Disable automatic item purchasing

If you complete these three steps before starting the next match, you can purchase your items yourself again.

Pokémon GO: Datamining find – Redeemable codes could be coming soon

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The data mining of the new Pokémon GO update 0.61.0 shows that the developers have made significant progress with the redeemable codes.

Another update in Pokémon GO is on the way to the trainers’ smartphones. The update 0.61.0 brings changes like bug fixes and a cool new loading screen. As with almost every Pokémon GO patch, there are also changes that are not mentioned in the patch notes.

During the data mining of the 0.61.0 APK, the experts from PokémonGOHub found that the feature for the redeemable codes is finalized and could be activated.

Redeem codes for coins

References to promo codes in Pokémon GO were first found during the data mining of the 0.59.1 APK of the game. It turned out that players cannot receive monsters or eggs through these codes, but insteaditems, avatar clothing, candies, stardust, or PokéCoins.

With patch 0.61.0, it has now been shown that the developers have made significant progress. The redeemable codes have been tested and are ready to be released. In the in-game shop, players will soon be able to redeem the codes after the feature has been released. So far, this feature has not yet been released. There are at least two different types of promo codes in Pokémon GO.

Pokemon GO Promo Codes

The experts found details in the code that show that the feature is complete and ready for activation – possibly for an upcoming event.

For this function, the data miners did not find any new graphic elements. This suggests that the button will be created from existing UI elements and no further updates on the smartphones are needed to utilize the function. Therefore, the developers could unlock the promo codes at any time, and trainers could use them immediately.

Pokémon GO News – Soon clearly visible in the game

In addition to the redeemable codes, the data miners found hints of a notification box. The notification box allows you to see all important details and messages at a glance. It offers the categories:

  • Marketing
  • Announcement
  • Admin Message
  • Game Event

The messages in these categories can also have a specific status:

  • Unread
  • Expires soon
  • Immediate

It is expected that this feature will be released alongside the redeemable codes. Here, Niantic could inform you about upcoming events and remind you that certain codes will expire soon if not redeemed. According to PokémonGOHub, this feature does not yet look “complete”, but it is an important point in the code.

How could Pokémon GO be improved? Quests would be a good option
