For Honor wird großzügiger – Update bringt mehr Stahl für alles

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In For Honor, there is today, on March 30th, a compensation for all players: 3 days of Champion Status. Additionally, you will now receive more Steel.

On March 28th, there were global disruptions at the Ubisoft servers for several hours. Current games such as For Honor or Ghost Recon Wildlands were affected. Players could not log in, there were NAT type issues – the servers were down.

For Honor is now offering all players compensation for this inconvenience. Starting today, on March 30th, Ubisoft is granting you the Champion Status for three days. The Champion Status gives you various benefits, such as an XP boost after matches. This bonus is available immediately.

More Steel after Activities

In recent weeks, there has been significant criticism of Ubisoft’s Steel policy. The prices are said to be far too high, taking years to unlock everything.

Today, the amount of Steel you earn through matches and orders is being increased on PS4, Xbox One, and PC:

  • All Matches: 25% more Steel
  • Daily Orders: 33% more Steel
  • Contract Orders: 50% more Steel
  • Community Orders: 2000 Steel

Maps are Coming Back, New Outfits Available

The map “River Fort” is being brought back into the game. Additionally, the map “High Fort” is supposed to return as soon as possible.

Furthermore, all heroes will receive new Elite Outfits:

  • The Battlefield Chic Outfits for the Knights
  • The Death Ravens Outfits for the Vikings
  • The Death Blossoms Outfits for the Samurai

Where are the Faction War Rewards?

Since Tuesday, the third round of the Faction War has ended. The Samurai are the winners. However, there is no sign of the rewards. Normally, the winners receive three Remainder Collector Chests, the runners-up two chests, and the third place one chest.

A community manager shared in the Ubi forum: The prizes of the Faction War are being reviewed. The situation will be corrected as soon as possible. It is only a matter of time before you receive your rewards.

The Division: Update 1.6.1 angekündigt – Soll Leben der Agenten verbessern

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, Update 1.6.1 has been announced. This will be released before 1.7 and will improve the agent experience.

Just now, the State of the Game aired on March 30. Community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau discussed the future of The Division and launched a live survey on the gear sets.

Quality Update 1.6.1 will be released in May

Update 1.7 will bring new content in summer 2017, such as events, loadouts, and feats. Before this content update goes live, Massive wants to address many issues in the post-apocalyptic Division world.

division-agent-schuss

Additionally, update 1.6.1 will be released in May. This will be a pure “quality update,” as the developers call it. It will include only bug fixes, balancing adjustments, and “quality of life” improvements. In other words: the agents’ lives should become more enjoyable.

For the first time in the history of The Division, an update will focus solely on such aspects. Previous updates 1.1 through 1.6 always brought new content, which introduced additional bugs and issues. With 1.6.1, the complete focus will be on the “quality” of the game – and not on fresh content.

division-agentin

Beforehand, a PTS phase will take place, during which you can test the adjustments on public test servers. However, this PTS is only available on PC. When it will start is still unknown. The PTS phase for update 1.7 will also be available on consoles.

Hunter’s Faith should be revised

Interestingly, during the livestream, the developers initiated a live survey that lasted 20 minutes. The chat was asked which gear set they would like to change, which set has the greatest need for adjustment.

The clear winner was the “Hunter’s Faith” set. Banchereau joked: “Okay, let’s nerf it!” How the balancing for this set will look specifically remains to be seen.

Further information:

  • The talent glitch has not been able to be reproduced so far. It may just be a UI bug.
  • The air detonation of the seeker mine will be revised in the future: initial damage will be reduced, while damage over time will be increased.

The talents of all gear sets in 1.6 will be presented here.

Warframe: Musical Update “Octavia’s Anthem” sets user record

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time < 1 minutes

The multiplayer shooter Warframe has set a record for the number of concurrent players again with the new update Octavia’s Anthem. The reason was the hunt for the new Octavia Warframe, which can even compose its own music.

Warframe sets new records for concurrent players with each major expansion, and the current update “Octavia’s Anthem” was no exception.

The reason for the current success was the new Warframe Octavia, who fights with music and even lets you compose your own pieces.

Warframe: The Hunt for the Techno Bard

To equip Octavia as a Warframe, players must complete a lengthy questline. Only then can you use the Bard Warframe and compose your own music with the tool “MandaChord”. This will then be used by Octavia as a skill in-game to confuse enemies or buff allies.

Destiny 2: Bungie, it’s time for a Diablo 3 in space!

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The MMO shooter Destiny 2 is coming soon. How should Bungie improve the success formula from Year 1? Our suggestion: Listen to Diablo. It worked the first time.

The US site Kotaku once reported: When Bungie was feeling a bit down after the launch difficulties of Destiny 1, publisher Activision organized a visit from Blizzard in December 2014. Game Director Josh Mosqueira and other team members from Diablo 3 gave a presentation at Bungie’s headquarters that was meant to inspire the Destiny team.

Diablo 3 already brought Destiny a turnaround

Diablo 3 itself started with difficulties. While it sold well, it received quite a bit of criticism. Diablo 3 managed to turn things around with the “Reaper of Souls” expansion. Activision probably thought: If anyone can tell Bungie’s team how to improve Destiny, it’s the team from Diablo 3. And they were completely right.

The main message back then: Too much randomness is not fun. You can make it seem like everything is random, but you need to manipulate the dice in favor of the players. People will play your game and they will eventually stop. Make sure they are satisfied when they take a break from the game. Then they’ll come back.

destiny-oryx-hüter

The Destiny team took this advice to heart. The loot system, which was heavily based on randomness before, was adjusted. Previously, players had limited chances in a week to get the items they were missing for max level – spooky tales of Forever 29 or Forever 31 circulated.

Destiny introduced more quests with “The Taken King” and guaranteed loot. That brought success.

“The Taken King,” the expansion for Destiny in September 2015, is generally seen as a turning point in Destiny’s history for the positive, before the game then flattened out due to content issues.

Destiny-Bloody
These 3 things should Destiny 2 bring

We at Mein MMO think: What worked before should be the goal again. Bungie, let yourselves be inspired by these 3 ideas from Diablo 3:

  • Item Sets – You already have sets in the game and clearly related items. Let the Guardians collect all pieces of a specific armor and grant them small bonuses when they wear all pieces. It’s fun, rewards the “collecting instinct,” and is simply a good idea. Even The Division manages that, and not much else works there.
  • You need some kind of “progression beyond max level”. YouTuber Datto gave a presentation about this. In Diablo 3, there is the Paragon system, through which your character keeps getting stronger. Every session is worthwhile – there’s always progress to be seen. That motivates. Diablo 3 also has the “Greater Rifts” system, which allows challenges to scale and become harder. That would be an idea for Destiny 2 – but you should disable the Paragon system in PvP.
    Destiny-Diablo
  • This has nothing to do with Diablo 3, but just brings more story, more variety, more quests, more of everything. Your fans have fed you with ideas for years on what Destiny 2 would benefit from, so listen to them every now and then! Finally fulfill your promises of a steady content flow. Diablo 3 didn’t manage that, but you should be able to with your huge team.

What do you think?

WoW: Fan Addon Wanted to Improve Quests – Stamped Out by Blizzard

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Suddenly canceled before release: Warcraft Tales was abruptly buried by Blizzard.

It was good news for all fans of the classic areas of World of Warcraft. YouTuber BellularGaming and his team took it upon themselves to release an interface addon for WoW that was supposed to elevate quests and stories in the starting areas to a new level. In addition to redesigning the existing quests, there were even recorded lines for every NPC, creating an entirely new sense of immersion.

Just days after the project was officially announced, it has now been abruptly buried – by Blizzard.

As Bellular announced in a new video, Warcraft Tales will not be released and the project has been put on hold. Unless “a small miracle” happens, the addon will likely never be released.

Particularly unfortunate: The work on the redesign of the quests in Elwynn was completed and was set to be released on April 6 – Westfall and Redridge Mountains were also significantly advanced and personally funded by Bellular.

It’s a bit strange because Bellular had repeatedly mentioned that he was in talks with some Blizzard employees who were excited about this addon. Since it was fundamentally just a modification of the interface, there seemed to be nothing standing in the way. However, Blizzard sees the addon as more and primarily as an “interference in the narrative” of World of Warcraft and is strictly against its release.

Bellular does not want to give up the matter yet and is trying to talk to Blizzard to potentially achieve a change of heart.

Star Trek Online: Season 13 – PvEvP-Kriegsspiele und neue Story

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

For Star Trek Online, Season 13 “Escalation” has been announced. It features a new story and the game mode “Maneuvers”, where you play PvE but still compete with other players. A new balancing system is intended to ensure fairness.

Star Trek Online PS4 Xbox One

The science fiction online role-playing game Star Trek Online already comprises 12 seasons, providing enough story content to produce several seasons of a Star Trek series. However, the storyline of STO is far from over, and Season 13 is ready to continue the story on PC on April 25. Additionally, there will be a new game mode and improved balancing.

STO – More Story!

As with every new season of Star Trek Online, this time there will also be an extensive story introduced through the quest “Sound and Smoke”. The focus of the story is the Lukari, a species recently discovered by the Federation.

Star Trek Online New Dawn Ship

To help the Lukari search for their past, you team up with the Lukari captain Kuumaarke. Of course, this all does not happen without conflict. The plundering Tzenkethi interfere and are the main villains of Season 13 “Escalation”.

Star Trek Online – Maneuvers – Together and Against Each Other

Action is also present in the new game mode War Games (Maneuvers). In this mode, you fight alongside four other captains in space against a similarly sized team of players. However, you do not eliminate each other directly but strive to reach PvE objectives before the other team does – thus a PvEvP mode! In War Games, you can earn rewards and even ships.

Star Trek Online Scan

To ensure that the battles in the War Games and regular PvP remain fair, the developers have introduced a new balancing system. While Perfect World has not disclosed exact details, the new system is designed to ensure that you always face opponents of equal strength and that every choice of starship equipment is a meaningful one.

WoW: Die Verheerte Küste ist doof

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The Broken Shore falls short of expectations. Our author Cortyn finds it one of the most boring zones in WoW.

Actually, I should have put this topic in a Whine Wednesday, but that’s still too far away for me, and it burns too much under my nails for me to wait a week. To be clear: I don’t like the Broken Shore.

WoW Broken Shore 1

The appearance of the Broken Shore is dreadful. Everything looks identical. Barren stones with destroyed Legion buildings and alternating green fire or purple shadow magics seeping from the ground into the world (or vice versa). I constantly have to look at the map to check where I actually want to go. The area has no truly distinctive points – aside from the Tomb of Sargeras. There’s no “creepy swamp zone” like in Tanaan or the misty cave with the elementals like on the Timeless Isle.

Yes, an area tainted by the Legion should be dead, inhospitable, and not exactly inviting. But the Broken Shore overdoes it. The colors are dull, everything seems identical, and there’s hardly anything to discover. Unless, of course, everything is so well hidden that I’ve simply overlooked it.

Hardly anything to discover on the Broken Shore

Another point of criticism is that the Broken Shore does not reward exploration. There are no hidden, rare enemies waiting at the end of a secret passage. There are also hardly any treasures – aside from the mini-chests – with cool toys that I will remember for a long time.

“Aha!” effects like in the jungle of Tanaan or the Timeless Isle are hardly present here – actually not at all. I believe my biggest discovery was that an ogre disguises itself as a turtle in a puddle, wanting to transform the priestesses of the Night Elves into a moonwell.

Currently, the Broken Shore is for me a large, monotonous “Grind Nether Shards!” area where I don’t want to stay because it makes you feel uncomfortable as a player. I’m nearly having flashbacks to Shadowmoon Valley from “The Burning Crusade” – only that one at least had many interesting quests.

WoW Broken Shore 3
The most colorful area on the shore – a graveyard.

Rather mediocre compared to other “patch zones”

In direct comparison to other “zone patches” from Burning Crusade (Quel’danas) to Pandaria (Timeless Isle, Isle of Thunder) and Warlords of Draenor (Tanaan), the shore looks old. There’s hardly anything to do. Some elite mob spawns every 15-20 minutes, carrying 30 more shards. Yes, wow. I’d rather farm Paragon rewards in Suramar.

It’s of course possible that the shore will change in the coming weeks, as the camp of the Legion judges is further expanded. Or I’ve simply been blind and have overlooked all the hidden details so far. But I’m rather skeptical about that.

What do you think of the Broken Shore so far? Is it exactly your thing or rather disappointing so far?

Patch 7.2 has more than just the Broken Shore. What else awaits you, we reveal here.

Destiny 2: Massiver Leak – Zwei Erweiterungen, Story und PC-Version

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

There is a massive leak regarding Destiny 2: If this is true, we have numerous details about the story, editions, and the PC version of the sequel.

Update: The Redditor apologizes, stating that this information was not yet intended for the public. He has now deleted the information. The person from whom he received the information will likely be fired, he writes. It’s difficult to determine how accurate this is. Enjoy the following information with a healthy dose of caution:

A user recently announced on Reddit: He is from the Spanish website “universodestiny.com” and he has massive leaks regarding Destiny 2. They received concrete information about the sequel from a well-known retailer. He translated this information into English and is now presenting it to the Guardians.

Leak – Story Information

According to this, the sequel to Destiny is coming. It is a first-person action shooter that sends you on an epic adventure through the solar system.

The Last City on Earth has fallen: The reason for this is an overwhelming invasion by the “Red Legion” (Cabal), led by Ghaul. Some survivors have abandoned the city. Now you must plunge into uncharted worlds of the solar system, where you will discover new devastating weapons and combat abilities.

To defeat the Red Legion and Ghaul, you must gather the surviving heroes of the Last City and reclaim your home.

Collector’s Edition and Limited Edition – Leak

There is information about a beta – if you pre-order, you will get early access to the beta. Additionally, there is the figure of Cayde-6 as a pre-order bonus. Other leaks have already indicated this.

Contents of the Collector’s Edition according to the leak:

  • Destiny 2 main game
  • Expansion I and II – These include quests, co-op activities, multiplayer content, and tons of armor pieces and gear
  • Legendary sword DLC
  • Legendary emote DLC
  • Cabal Empire insignia DLC
  • A limited steelbook

Additionally, some gimmicks like a paracord and a carry bag, as well as a premium box with Cabal theme containing a notebook, a map, and other items.

The Limited Edition includes:

  • The main game
  • The two expansions
  • The digital content (marked above with DLC)
  • The steelbook
  • The premium box

Battlefield 1: Premium Friends – Access DLC Content for Free

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The new Premium Friends feature in Battlefield 1 allows players without DLC to play the content of the expansion for free. However, not “all” content is free.

In Battlefield 1, a new system is being tested starting today, allowing players who haven’t purchased DLC to access the content of the expansions. This system is called Premium Friends and has been requested by the community in similar form. We will show you how the Premium Friends system works and what advantages and disadvantages it has.

Premium-Friends: Play with friends on Premium maps

To enhance cooperation in Battlefield 1, the developers at DICE take a lot of feedback from the fans and the community of Battlefield 1. Recently, it has been noted more often that players with a Premium Pass would like to see more players on the Premium maps. After considerable deliberation, the team concluded that they would introduce Premium Friends.

Battlefield 1 They Shall not Pass Title

If you own a Battlefield 1 Premium Pass , you can invite friends to the new maps. When you invite players to a group, the group receives the status “Premium-activated” and every player in this party can play on all maps, regardless of whether they purchased the content or not.

This allows all players with a friend who owns a Premium Pass to play together on the new DLC maps without being excluded. This has the advantage of having more players on the new maps and reducing wait times. However, not all content is shared with non-Premium friends.

Premium Friends – Exclusive content only for Pass owners

Some experiences of an expansion remain exclusive to players who own the Premium Pass in Battlefield 1.

  • If your group is “Premium-activated”, only players with the BF1 Premium Pass or owners of the expansion receive experience points for the maps belonging to the expansion. The XP for all other players is saved and distributed later if the player decides to get a Premium Pass.
  • Only the owners of the relevant expansion or a BF1 Premium Pass can spawn with vehicles or weapons specifically related to the expansion.
  • Progress on unique medals or codices of an expansion is also withheld from players with the BF1 Premium Pass or owners of the expansion.

During the current Battlefest, you might already be able to try out this Premium Friends feature. In the coming days, the developers are paying close attention to your feedback to further improve this feature.

WoW: Nothing to do in Patch 7.2? – Patience, content arrives “staggered”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Players are complaining that there is nothing to do in the new patch of WoW . After a few hours, the excitement wanes – but why?

The anticipation was high for most players when the heroes of Azeroth finally plunged into the new content of Patch 7.2 to give the Burning Legion a good kicking.

However, the spirit of exploration lasted only a short time. After battling through the quests and upgrading the artifact weapon for nearly an hour, a visit to the dungeon “The Cathedral of Eternal Night” was on the agenda – before the faces became longer and longer. Occasionally, an elite enemy appears on the map of the Broken Shore, but otherwise, not much happened.

Kil'Jaeden-WoW

Is that all there is? Does Patch 7.2 have nothing more to offer, and is the fun over after 2-3 hours?

That is only partially true, as Blizzard has decided to release the content of 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” in phases, which is why the first week is a bit lackluster. Meanwhile, the developers have clarified and explained when exactly the various contents of 7.2 will become available:

  • Week 2: The Legion invasions begin on the Broken Isles and the first PvP brawl is active
  • Week 3: Chapter 5 of the class campaign becomes accessible, unlocking new followers, new upgrades for the order hall, and class-specific world quests.
  • Week 4-11: Ongoing pieces of the story will be unlocked, ultimately leading to the opening of the Tomb of Sargeras and the ability to earn class mounts.
Wow Tomb of Sargeras Elven Glasses

There are several reasons for this phasing. One reason is that they do not want to overwhelm players with too many possibilities right away. Another reason is that the unlocking of the content follows a rough storyline arc, which is represented in this way. Week 1, for instance, is the attack of Dalaran on the Broken Shore, in week 2 the Legion counters with the invasions, and in week 3 the heroes react to that.

Blizzard apologizes for not having communicated this clearly from the beginning and hopes that all uncertainties are now resolved.

Blizzard is also drastically raising prices in WoW and Hearthstone – a good reason to complain.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Release planned for PS4 and Xbox One

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The console port of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One is taking shape. Now there is a first statement about it.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has only been in Early Access on Steam for a week and is already a success. The game has generated millions in revenue from sales in just a few days.

Therefore, the developers at Bluehole are likely to release the Battle Royale shooter on Xbox One and Playstation 4 relatively soon, as indicated by a recent statement.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Soon in Xbox Game Preview?

At least on Microsoft’s Xbox One, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds seems to be playable already. The website Kotaku found a statement from Bluehole employee and producer Chang-han Kim on the Korean website Inven.

In it, the producer states that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is already running on Xbox One. They aim for a release as “Game Preview” on Xbox One, which is a form of Early Access. Bluehole is currently polishing the game for the Xbox One early version.

Sony does not offer an “Early Access” program. Therefore, it is only possible to release games for “Full Release” on PS4. This is a situation that several “Early Access” phenomena have already struggled with.

Release on PS4 and Xbox One planned – Late summer 2017

When PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is finished and “fully released,” it is supposed to come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The Early Access period is planned for 6 months. Therefore, the full release of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on PC, PS4, and Xbox One should occur in late summer 2017. It could possibly appear on Xbox One even earlier.

However, these dates depend on whether the team’s plans and intentions are fulfilled.

Some caution is advised regarding this information: The producer’s statements are in Korean. Therefore, one must rely on Google Translator.

ArcheAge suddenly sells APEX cheaply – Buying frenzy at the end of the quarter?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the sandbox MMORPG ArcheAge, there are some murmurs about a wave of special offers. A flash-sale-like offer is particularly upsetting to fans. Is Trion Worlds trying to improve its quarterly numbers with sales?

As reported by the US site Massively, Trion Worlds is currently causing a stir in the ArcheAge forums with a special offer. On Monday, Trion Worlds launched a special offer for APEX: “A Special Bonus on APEX Purchases – for a Limited Time Only.”

  • Anyone who buys 5 APEX Packs gets 1 free.
  • Anyone who buys 10 APEX Packs gets 3 free.

What some people are complaining about is the phrase “Act fast! This offer could disappear at any moment.” It is a “flash sale” that is not clearly time-limited, to create a sense of “buying pressure” on players.

The APEX were, as Massively writes, stable until now and were never significantly discounted. That something like this just “comes out of nowhere on a Monday” surprises even this YouTuber:

Such a thing has never happened, that APEX were discounted in ArcheAge, no matter how much fans demanded it.

Flash Sale, Sale here, Sale there

This flash sale is only part of a “Sales Offensive” by Trion Worlds. There were also other “Limited Time Sales for Legacy and Fresh Start Servers” offered. Additionally, there is a “Buy One, Get One Yellow Charms” – meaning buy 1, get 2.

Players on reddit view this flood of offers and especially the “Strike now! It could disappear at any time” buying frenzy of ArcheAge critically. There’s a suspicion that Trion Worlds is trying to improve its numbers for the first quarter. Players believe Trion Worlds feels pressure and urgently wants to generate revenue to make its quarterly numbers look better.

ArcjheAge-Flash

It’s difficult to assess this from the outside. ArcheAge is one of the games that have always been critically observed and discussed regarding monetization.

Lantern Festival

Significantly less controversial is the “GeweonidForest Lantern Festival”, which began on March 29. Here, players can complete some quests and earn prizes for tokens.

The event runs until April 19.

EVE Online: Warship costs around 8,000 dollars, holds 100,000 corpses

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

CCP Games will introduce the warship Molok with the upcoming May update of the space MMO EVE Online .

This ship is the “Molok,” which is associated with the pirate faction Blood Raider. The cost for the Titan-class vessel is exorbitantly high. While the previously most expensive Titan ship Avatar costs 100 billion ISK, the costs for the Molok range from 300 to 500 billion ISK.

If someone were to buy this ISK for real money, it would come to a price between 5,000 and 8,000 US dollars. An exact price will be announced later.

Transporter for 100,000 corpses

The ship is made for the Blood Raider. Because the pirate faction attacks humans to siphon their blood for gruesome rituals. And the Molok can fit up to 100,000 human corpses in its cargo holds. This allows many dead bodies to be transported at once.

The pirates gather these corpses by collecting dead pilots floating in space. These bodies actually have no gameplay value, but can be used as trophies, and sometimes they are traded. The bodies of famous players can be worth a lot of money.

An expensive pleasure

EVE Online Mosaic

However, the cargo holds of the Molok will not actually be filled with corpses, this is only represented by a list. When a Molok is destroyed, the explosion also destroys the transported bodies. Anyone who owns such a ship also enjoys a bonus for the “Energy Nosferatu” devices. With these, you siphon energy from hostile ships for your own use.

Anyone looking to own a Molok in the space MMO EVE Online should start saving up before the May update rolls out and introduces the massive spaceship.
