Hearthstone: “Not the Mama!” – The coolest card texts from Un’Goro

The anecdote texts in “Journey to Un’goro” by Hearthstone are great. Lots of references to “The Dinos” are included.

Most players will never take a close look at this feature, but every card in Hearthstone has a small anecdote text. Usually a short, funny sentence or a specific reference either to the real world or World of Warcraft. The new cards from “Journey to Un’goro” also have a lot of card texts that at least provoke a smile. We have presented our 10 favorites here.

The Tortollan Priestess is a turtle who apparently watched too much Ninja Turtles as a child: “Always on the lookout … and always a bit smarter.”

Thermal Springs Guardian: YOU CANNOT PASS (until you have thoroughly showered.)

Kalimos, Lord of the Primordials: Kalimos is often disturbed by juvenile elementals who ask him for the time and then start giggling uncontrollably.

Victim of Lakkari: “And what, Gul’dan, is required of us for that?” The warlock pulled back his hood and replied in a creepy voice: “Six cards …”

Warcraft Guldan

Egg Mother Zavas: Single mother with 300 children seeks partner to fall in love again. Later marriage not excluded.

Tar Lurker: What does a tar lurker do when he is bored? Wait and drink tar.

The Heart of the Fire Pillar: Whoever sows mockery will reap Sulfuras!

Terrorhorn Hatchling: “Sometimes there are moments when you should just hold back on the your-mom jokes …”

Volcano Elemental: “One volcano elemental to another: Did you know that rain is bad for us?” The other one replies: “Yes, you can count on that.”

Stegodon: The level 40 Tortollan paladins have a quest where they have to tame a stegodon. There are no level 41 Tortollan paladins.

And lastly, a quartet. The translator has evidently watched the old series “The Dinos” a lot – but who didn’t watch that as a child (or still does secretly today)?

Egg Thief: Not the mama!
Pterrordax Hatchling: I’m the baby! You have to love me!
Volcano Saurus: Again! Again!
Ultrasaurus: The long neck is mainly for peeking into the neighbors’ front yard.

What are your favorite anecdote texts in Hearthstone?


All 135 cards from “Journey to Un’goro” can be found listed in this article.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Possible DLC leak causes excitement

A possible DLC leak for Ghost Recon Wildlands has been shown on Reddit. The community is not happy with the presumed contents.

A Reddit user has now presented the Ghost Recon Wildlands community with screenshots of a possible DLC for the tactical shooter. The leak allegedly shows selected images and screenshots of a future expansion for GRW. The images reveal possibilities for animal smuggling and car racing in Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Car Racing and Bounty Hunters in Wildlands?

The user who uploaded the screenshots and images mentions that there will be more activities in the game. However, these contents of the possible DLC are apparently not what the community would like to see:

  • (Stunt) races with airplanes

  • Treasure hunting
  • Animal smuggling in Narco Road-DLC
  • Sabotage and Headhunters in Fallen Ghosts-DLC
  • Nitro boosts for vehicles
  • Five new vehicles in Narco Road-DLC
  • Ghost Recon Wildlands Car Racing DLC
    Source: Reddit Evian_Water

    Particularly the image that apparently shows a car race is not well received by the community. How car racing fits into a tactical shooter is hard for many players to understand and not particularly logical.

    During the missions, you might encounter signs of illegal animal trade.

    Generally, many of the changes are not well received by other Reddit users. While some wonder if it’s just a joke, others are upset that they purchased a season pass. The air and land races stand out negatively, as they do not fit into the usual setting. As a consolation, the Headhunter missions are a mechanic that the developers can at least use for new missions.

    In the possible “leak”, the upcoming packs are named the Patriot Pack and the Vintage Car Pack:

    The user who published these images and possible DLC plans states that he was able to find them very easily and that there would be many more insights. Keep in mind that these contents are not from an official source, but are just a possible, unconfirmed leak.

    Official DLCs for Ghost Recon Wildlands – Narco Road & Fallen Ghosts

    Narco Road and Fallen Ghost are two expansions for Ghost Recon Wildlands that the developers have already announced. Both expansions are available in the Season Pass for you.

    Ghost Recon Wildlands Narco Road DLC

    Narco Road: This DLC gives you a glimpse into the life of drug dealers. With stylish vehicles, you race through a series of fast operations in Bolivia. Infiltrate various gangs and eliminate their leaders one by one.

    Ghost Recon Wildlands Fallen Ghosts DLC

    Fallen Ghost: Your squad is forced to improvise after your helicopter is shot down. You come under fire from an elite mercenary squad.

    Mecker Wednesday: The “Class Challenges” in WoW – Fine-tuning is missing

    The class challenges in WoW cause frustration among players. Even Cortyn doesn’t find much to appreciate about it.

    Have you already taken a look at your class challenge in World of Warcraft? They are quite difficult at times, and a large part of the players cannot – and should not – complete them yet.

    In principle, I think that difficult content, which only a small percentage of players can overcome, is quite good. This even applies when I personally will probably never get to see that content. In WoW, there are some examples, such as additional bosses on “mythic” difficulty or completely new phases in boss fights.

    WoW Broken Shore Eredar Mage

    Not every piece of content is meant for all players, and those who enjoy particularly difficult challenges should also be able to have them – even if other players are denied the rewards.

    What I don’t like about the class challenges, however, is the fact that so many classes have been thrown together. Almost always, 4 or 5 specializations share one challenge, which leads to a significant dilution of the task.

    They wanted to create challenges that are based on the “Green Fire” quest for Warlocks or the “Blessing/Curse” quest for Priests – but they did not do that. These are not tailored challenges for each specialization, but rather “one-size-fits-all” for several at the same time.

    WoW: Defeating the Twins – relatively easy for Frost Mages, extremely difficult for Shadow Priests

    And that exactly creates “unfair” situations. Frost Mages can relatively easily complete the “Defeat the Twins” fight if they have a solid amount of life steal on their gear. Shadow Priests rely on the right legendary item and luck – because only when their slowing Shadow Tendril procs, will the enemy be permanently slowed.

    Such examples exist for all class challenges. Some characters can – as of now – only succeed if they have the exactly correct legendaries.

    WoW Legion Paladin Scourge Battle
    With more fine-tuning, the class challenges would have been fairer.

    Sure, this problem will lessen in the coming weeks and months as the gear improves and the character’s performance increases proportionally. But it is exactly this unfair challenge (with widely varying difficulty among the specializations) that causes great dissatisfaction in the community. Personally, I would have preferred if each specialization had received a truly unique challenge – it can still be extremely difficult.

    What do you think of the class challenges? Do you find them good as they are? Or would you have preferred to see an individual challenge for each specialization?


    If you need tips and tricks for your class challenge, here we have video guides for all fights with additional strategy tips.

    The Division: The seeker mine is overpowered – Here’s how it will be reworked

    In The Division, the Airburst Seeker Mine has been a hot topic in the community for weeks. Massive explains how they plan to revise this skill.

    The Seeker Mine has been a frequently complained about issue since the launch of “Last Stand” in the eponymous PvP mode. Specifically, the Airburst mod, which is the Air Detonation mod. The reason: The Seeker Mine is far too strong with this mod, it can eliminate agents directly and is therefore often used. Many players are dissatisfied with this Seeker Mine meta.

    “Those who can do nothing, rely on the Seeker Mine!”

    division-sucher-mine-2

    The Seeker Mine is a skill from the Technology branch: You deploy a rolling mine that seeks out enemy targets and then explodes near them. With the Airburst mod, there are additional incendiary bombs that set enemies on fire and deal damage over time.

    The big problem is: This skill deals a lot of damage (especially with skill power builds) and requires no skill. One user writes that he has killed 20 enemies in Last Stand without even seeing them. He just has to throw one Seeker Mine after another on the ground, and the kills come automatically.

    division-agenten-last

    Massive is aware of this problem, as they have emphasized several times in recent weeks. For a skill that takes over aiming for someone, it is too powerful. In the past of The Division, there were phases when the Sticky Grenade dominated the meta. However, in order to use the Sticky Grenade effectively, agents at least have to aim themselves.

    How the Seeker Mine will be revised

    With an upcoming patch, the developers want to curb the power of the Air Detonation Seeker Mine. To do this, 20% of the initial explosion damage will be removed and transferred to the burn status effect that this skill causes afterwards.

    With high values in burn resistance, you can mitigate this status effect. With medkits, you can even cleanse it. This will make it easier to survive against this skill.

    However: The damage output overall remains the same for the Seeker Mine. This means that you will deal the same damage to PvE enemies as before, as they have no resistances or ways to get rid of the status effect.

    What do you think of this change?

    Escape from Tarkov: Keine Lust auf Regeln? Dann spielt einen Scav

    In the online shooter Escape from Tarkov, the two factions BEAR and USEC are actually at war. However, those who have no interest in this conflict simply become a lawless Scavenger.

    The option to play as a Scavenger will be introduced in the next alpha patch. The Scavengers or Scavs are bandits and looters. Everyone fights for themselves and is essentially on their own. They roam the streets of Tarkov, always searching for interesting items that they can sell later. In doing so, the Scavs also step over corpses and would kill for any valuable item.

    escape from tarkov alpha
    Scavengers only fight for themselves

    According to the developers, the gameplay of Escape from Tarkov changes when playing as a Scav. One is no longer focused on preserving their group and faction, but acts ruthlessly and fights only for themselves. However, this also means that Scavs cannot rely on anyone. Not even on other Scavengers.

    There is no group cohesion, as is the case with BEAR and USEC. Scavs also exist in the game world as NPCs and repeatedly disrupt the activities of the two factions. Thus, they become a nuisance that stands in the way of their own goals.

    Still no date for the beta

    Escape from Tarkov is currently still in alpha phase. The fans are eagerly waiting for the start of the beta, which should happen at any time. However, there is still no exact date.

    In the meantime, the developers have released a new video of the online shooter, showing how a Scavenger operates in the game world.

    WoW: The Legion’s Assault Begins – Defense of the Broken Isles

    On the Broken Isles of World of Warcraft, the Legion is hitting harder now – the invasion of the Legion has begun.

    Just yesterday, players of World of Warcraft were puzzling over how to complete a certain quest. Maiev Shadowsong wanted in “Defense of the Broken Isles” for the players to fend off a Legion attack – but there was no sign of that anywhere. Now, after the maintenance on 04/05/2017, the invasions of the Legion have begun on the Broken Isles.

    WoW Demon Invasion Murloc Cage

    Simply open your map and look at the Broken Isles – usually, an area will be marked with a large green symbol that indicates: The Legion is here and wants a solid beating.

    WoW: Legion Attack – Demon Invasion in Full Swing

    The invasion basically runs very similarly to the times of the pre-event of Legion. You enter an area and can help on all possible fronts, as there are many world quests directly related to the invasion.

    After you have completed a few small missions, you can take down the leaders. If you wish, you can even strike back at the end of the invasion and capture a Legion spaceship with some other players.

    WoW Legion Fly

    Aside from that, the invasions are a good source of nether shards that you can spend for various purposes. They are needed for attempts at the challenging class challenges or can be exchanged for “tokens” with which you receive gear of item level 880. In any case, nether shards are valuable, and one can (for now) never have enough of them.

    Also, keep in mind that you must complete at least one invasion in each area if you plan to fly on the Broken Isles later. Fending off an invasion in each area is part of the meta achievement “Pathfinder of the Broken Isles, Part 2”.


    Time is running out for the class challenges – the Mage Tower is already destroyed tomorrow!

    Hearthstone: Maiev – Der erste Bonus-Held, den alle problemlos kriegen können

    Today in Hearthstone “The Journey to Un’Goro” begins. The hero Maiev Shadowsong will soon be available for free and effortlessly for everyone.

    In Hearthstone, players can purchase heroes. These are “alternative skins.” They can be used instead of the normal default heroes.

    The 7 current bonus heroes or “Alternate Heroes” in Hearthstone – Here’s how to get them

    Currently, there are 7 such alternative heroes. 3 of them can be purchased for Euros. These 3 heroes currently cost 9.99€:

    • Magni Bronzebeard (Warrior)
    • Alleria Windrunner (Hunter)
    • Medivh (Mage)

    For these 2 heroes, special actions must be performed:

    • For Lady Liadrin (Paladin), it suffices to level a WoW hero to level 20. This does not apply retroactively, but the WoW character must be leveled up
    • For Morgl the Oracle (Shaman), players must recruit a friend, and that friend must then reach level 20 in Hearthstone.
    Hearthstone-Magni

    Currently, these 2 heroes are not available, they were once obtainable:

    • Tyrande Whisperwind (Priest) was available if you signed up for Twitch Prime
    • Khadgar (Mage) was available for a short time as part of a special promotion

    Hearthstone: How to get Maiev Shadowsong

    With the new expansion “Journey to Un’Goro” coming online today, the 8th hero will be available for purchase. It is the rogue Maiev Shadowsong. She is easy to obtain.

    Players simply need to win 10 games in “Standard Mode”. It doesn’t matter whether you do these games in ranked mode or unranked mode. The main thing is that in the end, you win and it is the Standard Mode.

    So eventually, everyone should have her. Even the weakest players win a game every now and then.

    Maiev Shadowsong replaces the rogue standard hero.


    The Journey to Un’Goro brings 135 new cards. Here you can see all of them:

    Pokémon GO: Niantic CEO warns against Virtual Reality, recommends PoGO

    The chief behind Pokémon GO sees a danger in virtual reality and points out the advantages of his game.

    In an interview with Gameindustrybiz, Niantic CEO John Hanke talks about virtual reality. He believes it is dangerous because it is too good. People could spend a lot of time with it, which would be bad for society in the long run.

    Already, Hanke has concerns that his children play so much Minecraft and that it is a great game.

    Virtual reality keeps players indoors, while augmented reality brings players outdoors into nature, which is significantly better and healthier.

    Virtual Reality is Too Good to Be Healthy

    “We are human beings, and a lot of research has shown that we are really much happier when we get movement, when we spend time outdoors – especially in nature. It is a problem for us as a society if we neglect this and spend all our time in a VR world like in Ready Player One,” says Hanke.

    Ready Player One is a dystopian sci-fi novel that is about to be adapted into a movie. In 2044, humanity lives in a bleak real world and escapes into a beautiful fictional one.

    Cyberith Virtualizer
    More augmented reality games should be developed

    Hanke therefore encourages developers to focus on augmented reality, like his game Pokémon Go. Such games lead players outdoors.

    Augmented reality has huge potential to positively influence people. Aspects that could be beneficial for the health of players. This research can be applied to all augmented reality games. Such games could motivate people to be more active than they otherwise would.

    Part of his motivation for developing a game like Pokémon GO, Hanke says, was to get his own children out of the house more often.

    Pokemon Trainer
    Pokémon GO: Team to be doubled

    In the long run, Hanke believes that virtual and augmented reality do not have to be mutually exclusive. At some point, they could be combined into a single thing and merge.

    Furthermore, Hanke says Niantic plans to release Ingress in a new, updated version, and they also want to double the size of the team working on Pokémon GO. For the future, they plan new events and more social features.

    LoL: Rakan und Xayah – Die Fähigkeiten des neuen Duo-Teams

    Riot introduces the new champions Rakan and Xayah, who will take on the roles of Support and ADC in League of Legends.

    With the words “She fights for the cause. He fights for her.” the developers have already revealed a small part of the new duo in League of Legends yesterday. Now the abilities of the two new champions have been introduced.

    Champion Introduction: Rakan

    Rakan bears the title “The Fan Favorite” and assumes the Support role in this special team. For this, he has abilities available that can shield or heal allies.

    Passive: Fluffed Up

    • From time to time, Rakan’s cape generates a shield (even during combat). The cooldown of Fluffed Up is reduced when he attacks enemy champions.

    Q – Phoenix Feather

    • Rakan throws a Feather in the target direction. If this feather hits an enemy champion or an epic monster, it deals damage and charges Rakan’s cape with magic. After a short time, a Healing Spell is triggered in Rakan’s vicinity. He can also trigger this spell immediately when he touches a teammate.

    W – Impressive Entrance

    • Rakan jumps to the target point and, after a short time, launches nearby enemies into the air.

    E – Battle Dancer

    • This ability is applied to allies and protects them from damage. During this, Rakan sprints to the target. After using Battle Dancer, he has a few seconds to use the ability again. It can also work twice on the same target.
    • If the target is Xayah, Battle Dancer has a higher range.

    R – Step Your Way Free!

    • Rakan begins to sprint and charges his cape. While the ability is active, he charms all enemies he touches and deals damage to them (only 1x per champion). The first champion grants him a movement speed boost.

    B – Recall

    • If Xayah or Rakan initiate a recall, the other can join this recall. Together they teleport back to base.

    You can see all of Rakan’s abilities in the following video:

    Champion Introduction: Xayah

    Xayah takes on the role of AD Carry in the team. For this, she has various abilities that harmonize with the Feather theme of the duo.

    Passive – Razor-Sharp Feathers

    • After using an ability, Xayah’s normal attacks pierce all enemies in their path. These attacks deal reduced damage to all targets after the first. Where they land, they leave a Feather that remains on the map for a moderate time.

    Q – Twin Feathers

    • In this ability, Xayah throws two daggers in one direction, dealing damage to all hit enemies. Where the daggers land, they leave a Feather.

    W – Featherstorm

    • A summoned storm of feather blades increases the strength and speed of Xayah’s next normal attacks. If she attacks an enemy champion while Featherstorm is active, she receives a movement speed boost for a short time.
    • If Rakan is nearby while Xayah casts Featherstorm, he also receives the effect of this ability.

    E – Caller of Blades

    • With this ability, Xayah calls all Feathers to her. On their way back to her, they deal damage to all enemies they hit. If a target is hit by multiple Feathers, it is briefly rooted.

    R – Raging Feathers

    • Upon triggering the ability, Xayah jumps into the air and can briefly become untargetable. After a short delay, knives rain down in a cone-shaped area in front of her. Each of these knives deals damage to hit enemies and leaves a Feather.
    • While she is in the air, Xayah can move.

    If Xayah or Rakan initiate a recall, the other can join this recall. Together, they teleport back to base.

    • Beginnen Xayah oder Rakan einen Rückruf, kann sich der jeweils andere diesem Rückruf anschließen. Zusammen porten sie sich dann zur Basis zurück.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda – Patch 1.05 arrives – BioWare addresses issues

    Mass Effect: Andromeda will soon receive its first patch. In addition to animation improvements, there will also be a larger inventory.

    A few days ago, BioWare announced that they would release new information about upcoming updates for the RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda. Now it’s finally time, and the studio has published the details of Patch 1.05. The patch fixes many bugs, especially performance issues and complete game crashes should largely be resolved. In addition, Patch 1.05 includes the following highlights:

    • The ship travel animations on the galaxy map can be skipped
    • The inventory limit will be increased
    • The depiction of the eyes of humans and Asari will be improved
    • The Remnant decrypting units will be cheaper at merchants
    • The lip-sync in non-English versions will be improved
    • Ryder’s animations are no longer faulty when walking in a “zig-zag” manner
    • The matchmaking and latency in multiplayer will be improved
    Mass Effect Andromeda 03

    Mass Effect: Andromeda Patch 1.05 will be released on Thursday, April 6, 2017, if there are no issues.

    For the Future: Better Character Editor, Better “Gay” Romances

    However, there are still many plans for the future that did not make it into Patch 1.05 and need more work. The character editor, in particular, is expected to be revamped to provide more options so that everyone can create their Ryder just as they see fit.

    The hair of many characters looks too “cartoonish”, and this will also be improved.

    Mass Effect Andromeda jaal

    Especially fans of the homosexual relationships may be pleased, as the male partners for Scott Ryder will receive a bit more attention. Here it’s only referred to as “improvements”, whether this involves new dialogues or just a generally better presentation remains to be seen. More about the drama surrounding the gay relationships can be found in this article.

    WoW: Solo-Herausforderungen werden nicht generft

    The class challenges are causing headaches for many players of World of Warcraft. This will continue to be the case.

    Recently, the Mage Tower has been completed on the Broken Shore in World of Warcraft, and players can attempt a class challenge to earn a new template for the artifact weapon. However, the challenges are so incredibly difficult that players are flooding the official forums to complain. After all, they also want a new, cool skin for their artifact weapon – which is not possible with their current gear or skill level.

    The demand to Blizzard is clear: Nerf the class challenges!

    WoW Broken Shore Eredar Mage

    Community Manager Aerythlea has taken this matter to heart and issued a clear statement. Accordingly, a nerf is not to be expected anytime soon.

    „I understand that the new templates are currently the “hot stuff” and everyone wants to grab them, causing frustration. However, it is important to mention that the challenges are supposed to be just that: a challenge. We do not expect most players to receive the new skins with the first run of the Mage Tower.

    Our goal for these challenges was that they are comparable to the “Green Fire” quest for Warlocks in Mists of Pandaria. In that case, very few Warlocks were able to defeat the boss Kanrethad immediately, but over time more and more players succeeded.

    A nerf is definitely not on the horizon. However, Aerythlea does provide reassurance that the challenges will become easier with increasing gear and the opening of the Tomb of Sargeras.

    WoW Corpses Scarlet
    If they are too strong, you are too weak (or your item level is too low).

    However, it will still be some weeks until the opening of the new raid, as the quest chain leading up to it has at least eleven steps, with only one of them being unlocked each week.

    Breakaway: Neue Assassine “Jarra” und Gameplay-Updates kommen

    In the team battle game Breakaway, the new stealth assassin Jarra has now been introduced, aiming to shake up the arena. Gameplay changes are intended to make controls easier.

    Breakaway is a team battle by Amazon Game Studios, where two teams of four players each compete to be the first to reach 3 points. It is still in development. Based on community feedback, there will now be some changes to Breakaway that aim to improve the game. Players complained about movement and various aspects of the battles.

    Gameplay Changes in Breakaway

    Movement

    • Due to alpha feedback, some changes have been made to the game to simplify movements. Players can now move while attacking, which should make gameplay significantly smoother. Additionally, a new camera angle allows you to aim better with your abilities. Another important point is that you can now strafe left and right in Breakaway.

    Using Abilities

    • Previously, it was problematic to gauge the range of various character abilities. The distance a sprint covered or how far a bullet flew was hard to discern. To make this easier in the future, the ability system has been worked on. There are now three options for how you can cast spells and attacks: Double Tap, Press-Release, and Smartcast.
    • Double Tap: You click once on the key of an ability to see its area of effect. A second click confirms the usage.
    • Press-Release:  As long as you hold down the ability key, you will see its area of effect. Releasing the key will trigger the skill.
    • Smartcast/Single Tap:  Pressing the ability key will cast it immediately.

    Buildables

    In Breakaway, you can build devices or items that assist you in the game. For example, Thorgrim can construct a huge wall that blocks opponents. Anne Bonny can set up a trampoline that propels you into the air. Although these buildables sound fun, they have rarely been used in the game. When they were used, chaos ensued too quickly in the game.

    Warriors in Breakaway can now create only one buildable instead of two after the changes. However, the constructed items have more health points. When they are destroyed, the gold goes directly to the destroying team (200 gold for the last hitter, 100 gold for the rest of the team) – The gold reward for destruction has been reduced. Additionally, some warriors now have different buildables than before due to balance changes.

    Gold

    Many players had trouble collecting gold during matches. Since the gold rewards for destroying buildables have been reduced, there are now additional ways to earn gold.

    New:

    • Passive Gold Income
    • Gold reward for assisting with a point
    • Increased gold rewards for kills and their assists

    New Assassin “Jarra”

    Jarra is a stealth assassin that has now been introduced by the developers. She has a low number of health points, but deals high burst damage to single targets. With these stats, she plays like a typical assassin who should take advantage of the element of surprise to influence the game. If she gets discovered, she quickly runs into problems due to her low health points.

    In the following video, you can see the abilities of Jarra, her buildable, and how to sneak up on opponents with her.

    Devilian: Spring Fling Event – Killing monsters in the name of love!

    The action MMO RPG Devilian celebrates the Spring Fling event at the beginning of spring. In this event, you help an unfortunate romantic win over his true love.

    Spring is finally here, and with it comes the season of love! It’s a shame if you can’t express your feelings and are dying of heartbreak. This happens to the poor Antwan in Devilian, who needs your help to find his true love! However, there are plenty of rewards, so it won’t be a fruitless effort.

    Spring Fling Event – Rose Petals from the cold dead hands of the enemies

    You can find Antwan by the fountain of Asperon. Until April 12, you can collect rose petals and bring them to Antwan. However, you won’t get rose petals by harvesting roses! Instead, you must earn them in bloody battles. Slay monsters that are at least five levels above you, and you might receive a petal. Bosses, on the other hand, always drop five petals.

    devilian spring fling 02

    Once you have enough petals, bring them to Antwan, and in exchange for the flowers, you’ll receive rewards from the following list, including silly duck costumes:

    • Fearless Dragon Ray

    • Talisman Box
    • Glowing Talisman Box

    For Honor in free fall – User reviews “mostly negative”

    The player base of For Honor is not holding back criticism of the melee game. Meanwhile, the recently added user reviews on Steam are mostly negative.

    For Honor had a successful launch in mid-February. With a player base of nearly 46,000, For Honor was among the top ten most played games on Steam. User reviews overall were rated “Very Positive”, particularly praising the graphics and the combat system.

    for-honor-berserker

    However, it became evident after just a few weeks that the hype was replaced by significant criticism of all the problems, and players were leaving in droves. After two weeks, the number dropped to around 20,000 players, and after three weeks, it was under 15,000 players. Now, in early April, the player base stands at a meager 5,000. And the curve continues to trend downwards.

    Players are dissatisfied and leaving poor reviews

    On Steam, the overall rating quickly changed from “Very Positive” to “Mixed”. Looking at the current Steam user reviews, the overall rating is still “Mixed”, but the recently added reviews are “mostly negative”.

    for honor stats

    Only 38% of all user reviews submitted in the last 30 days are positive.

    for-honor-kriegsfürst

    Reasons for this can be quickly identified: connection and matchmaking problems, lags, criticism of the high steel prices, unbalanced heroes, or some simply state that it is a Ubisoft game.

    In many games, the recently added reviews are better than the overall ratings, as developers roll out bug fixes and new features after the launch that improve the gaming experience. Once the teething problems are resolved, players are more satisfied with the game.

    However, with For Honor, the opposite is true. Recently, a boycott was called for to show Ubisoft that this cannot continue. Whether the developers will succeed in turning the mood around in the future remains to be seen.

    DC Universe Online – Event – Starro the Conqueror

    The Starros lived in the sea for a long time until they were caught by some unlucky researchers from Atlantis and could take over. Starros can latch onto a person’s face and control them. A gruesome fate! After the Starros further multiplied in the sea, they are now launching a major invasion of the coastal regions!

    DCU Starro 02

    To deal with the Starro plague, your heroes in DC Universe Online need to go out again and beat the parasites. Starting April 5, the following missions and instances will be available:

    • Central City Starro Deluge (Open World Mission): Thousands of Starros are swimming ashore, and your heroes must help the people from S.T.A.R. Labs or LexCorp contain the plague.
    • Starro: Spreading Spores (2-player Duo): Starros are spreading across the Earth, attempting to take over great heroes and villains. You need to stop them along with a partner!
    • Starro: Invasion (4-player Alert): This time, the Starros have controlled even more dangerous individuals, which requires the deployment of four heroes.
    • Starro: The Threat Below (8-player Raid): The Starros are coming from an ancient Atlantic research base beneath the Arctic. There, you need to go with seven other heroes to eliminate the plague at its source. The research base is a completely new map that is said to be particularly creepy and disgusting. The raid is available for players from level 10 or as an endgame version.
    DCU Starro 03

    As a reward for your efforts, there is a cool “Starro the Conqueror” costume, which is just below the current gear from Amazon Fury III. Additionally, you can stick (harmless) Starros as decorations on your face or clothing. Furthermore, in the duo alert and the following alerts, there is a special crate that contains special rewards for members, such as slots for the Starro mask or costume.

    On April 5, the new Time Capsule Team-Up will also start. So, if you’re not into starfish, you can enjoy that.

    World of Warships: Französische Kreuzer im Vorstellungs-Video

    World of Warships expands its range of ships with the new nation France. 10 new cruisers are making their debut here. We show you how the French cruisers stack up in terms of values in a video.

    With the fleets of the Japanese Empire, the US Navy, the German Navy, the Red Fleet of the Soviet Union, and the Royal Navy of Great Britain, Wargaming already has the key players of World War II in World of Warships.

    World of Warships French cruiser

    It’s time to turn our attention to the lesser-known but still interesting fleets of other nations. Here, we start with France, whose fleet is entering the game with a complete tech tree of cruisers.

    World of Warships: 10 new French ships

    France’s ships were previously only represented in the game by the premium battleship Dunkerque, thus placing them in the list of peculiar ships from nations that were not yet full tech trees in the game. However, that will soon change, as the fleet of the “Grande Nation” is entering the game with 10 cruisers as the latest tech tree nation. The following list shows the names of the ships and what makes them stand out:

    • Tier 1 – Bougainville: This small vessel is a manageable entry cruiser without significant strengths or weaknesses.
    • Tier 2 – Jurien de la Gravière: At Tier 2, the French cruiser line is still quite average; only the 8 guns are decent with a range of 10.3 km.
    • Tier 3 – Friant: This ship features similar artillery to its predecessor, but for the first time has torpedoes, which with two 3-tube launchers per broadside can cause great devastation up to 6 kilometers!
    • Tier 4 – Duguay Trouin: This ship establishes the great strength of the French: speed and good torpedoes. The cruiser races through the ocean at 33 knots and also mounts two triple launchers on each side. The torpedo range remains at 6 kilometers, with a main battery range of 15 km.
    • Tier 5 – Émile Bertin: This ship becomes even faster at 35 knots and now has only one triple launcher per broadside. Its torpedoes reach 9 kilometers and travel at 60 knots. The three 152mm triple turrets reach 14.9 kilometers.
    • Tier 6 – La Galissonnière: This ship is slightly slower than its predecessor at 31 knots, but its three triple turrets reach 15.9 kilometers. The torpedo launchers have been reduced to one double launcher each, and the torpedoes are the same as those of the predecessor.
    • Tier 7 – Algerie: The Algerie finally receives a gun upgrade from the previous 152mm to thick 203mm. Four double turrets fire at 17.9 kilometers and set enemy ships on fire with HE munitions with a 15 percent chance. The ship is 31 knots fast and again has one triple launcher with the well-known torpedoes.
    • Tier 8 – Charles Martel: This hefty ship gets three triple turrets with the 203mm guns known from the Algerie. The torpedoes have been reverted back to one double launcher each. The ship moves at a speed of 32.5 knots.
    • Tier 9 – Saint-Louis: This ship is very similar to its predecessor, but fires at 18.3 kilometers with its three triple guns. It also has triple launchers again.
    • Tier 10 – Henri IV: The top ship of the French has heavy 240mm guns in three triple turrets. It fires a proud 19.1 kilometers and ignites enemies with a 22 percent chance! It is also arrow-fast, reaching top speeds of 35 knots. The twin torpedo launchers fire the same fish as all French ships since Tier 5.

    Based on this data, it shows that the French prefer fast ships with long-range guns and quick torpedoes. The ships are still in the testing phase and may still change.

    World of Warships Émile Bertin

    The French ships are expected in the next patch, which is likely to come in May. We have embedded a video from YouTuber EiKarrRamba above, who has already extensively tested the new ships and explains them in detail.

    World of Warships – The Italians are coming too!

    In addition to the French cruiser line, Wargaming is also giving you a premium cruiser from Italy in the upcoming update. The ship named “Duca D’Aosta” is a premium ship of the cruiser type at Tier 6. It features four double turrets with 152mm, capable of hitting targets at 14 kilometers and igniting them with a 7 percent chance.

    World of Warships Duca D'Aosta

    The two triple launchers fire torpedoes at a speed of 66 knots, but only reach 4.5 kilometers. The AA of the Italian ship is also quite weak for Tier 6. However, what the Duca D’Aosta excels at is its extremely high speed of 36.5 knots. Thus, it is ideal for driving destroyers off mission targets.
