What a patch! The unicorn came as a nice surprise. It is a mutation of the Equus, the new horse in Ark. It is considered extremely rare, always white, and has a horn on its head. You can only find one unicorn on the map.
In this Destiny 2 we take a closer look at the contents of the Collector’s Edition.
Destiny 2 can now be pre-ordered. For the biggest Destiny fans who are willing to spend a lot of money on their hobby, a Collector’s Edition is offered. This costs a whopping 249.99 euros (239.99 euros for PC) and includes, in addition to the main game and expansions, many items:
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 Expansion Pass
Destiny 2 – Frontier Bag
Adjustable bag that can be worn as a backpack or messenger bag
15″ laptop/tablet sleeve with protective case
Outland Kit with:
Solar-powered USB charger with built-in light
Paracord rope
Sunscreen blanket
Limited Edition Steelbook(TM) case
Booklet with secrets about the Cabal Empire
Cabal drawings
Collector’s postcards
Cabal military figurines
Digital Premium Content:
Legendary sword
Legendary player emote
Cabal-style emblem
Many fans will view this content skeptically. Why is there a Frontier Bag, a “Outland backpack,” and this Outland Kit?What does that have to do with Destiny 2? An answer is provided by the product description on Amazon.
The Frontier Bag belongs to Hawthorne – An important character in Destiny 2?
It turns out to be a Frontier Bag, like the one Hawthorne carries. The name Hawthorne has not appeared in Destiny 1 so far. According to the Amazon description, Hawthorne was born in the Last City. She left the city as a teenager to lead a life of freedom in the wilderness.
For years, she survived without the protection of the Guardians and discovered her true purpose: to provide protection to humanity by not only helping them survive but also showing them how to lead a better life.
Presumably, the Guardians will encounter this new character in Destiny 2. What role Hawthorne will play in it is still completely unknown. Some fans see in Hawthorne the strange Exo from Year 1 who never had time for explanations. It is known that both women are not Guardians. The future will show if we will finally learn more about this Stranger.
Is this the Cabal Emperor?
An interesting look at the collector’s box in Cabal style:
In the center, there is a golden Cabal head (yes, this is what the Cabal look like without helmets), surrounded by golden adornments. Apparently, the new enemies depicted inside were also seen in the trailer:
The Cabal head in the center may possibly be Ghaul, the leader of the Red Legion, or even the Emperor of the entire Cabal forces. For now, this can only be speculated.
What do you think? Who is Hawthorne and who do we see on the Cabal box?

In World of Tanks, the M6A2E1 was once only available to pre-order customers and has not been available since. Now, the legendary “Mutant” is set to return as a premium tank.
The M6A2E1 is a heavy American tank tier 8 that is extremely rarely encountered on the battlefields of World of Tanks. This is because the “Mutant” was only available to pre-order customers at the release of World of Tanks 6 years ago. Since then, the powerful tank has not been available in the PC version, and even Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi once noted that the M6A2E1 would probably never return.
However, “never again” should not be taken too seriously, as out of nowhere, the M6A2E1 suddenly appeared with selected YouTubers and can even be purchased for an extremely limited time.

It really exists – The M6A2E1 as a premium tank in the shop
The M6A2E1 is often referred to as the “Mutant,” and that name is well-deserved. It is monstrously large and has an enormous front armor! 191mm American steel at a perverse angle! This should allow the effective armor against frontal hits to rise effortlessly to 230 to 260mm. The turret armor is similarly tough at 229mm. Just forget about damaging the M6A2E1 from the front without special ammunition!
However, the situation looks different from the side, as the thick giant only has a measly 66mm. Any tiny tank can penetrate that! The cannon of the Mutant is 105mm with a penetration of 198, nothing special, so you may have to rely on APCR ammunition with 245mm penetration.
What rocks hard: The cannon has a depression angle of 10° down and 20° up. Ideal for hilly terrain!
M6A2E1 – Premium tank with minor weaknesses
In addition to its weak side armor, the low speed of a maximum of 29 km/h and the high turning radius are additional problems for the M6A2E1. Artillery is therefore a serious opponent, as are packs of small tanks that can flank him and exploit his weak side. However, if the M6A2E1 is well protected on the flanks and can face its front to the enemy, it is virtually invulnerable.
As a premium vehicle, the M6A2E1 generates a lot of credits and is relatively cheap to repair. Therefore, the strong M6A2E1 is ideal for fans of heavy tanks who want to farm optimal credits for their gameplay. Due to the special matchmaking, the M6A2E1 can only face tanks of tiers 8 and 9. It is ideally suited for tier 8, but some enemy tanks could pose serious difficulties for it at tier 9.
World of Tanks – Buy M6A2E1 – How to get the optimal farming tank!
If you’re now totally excited and shouting “Shut up and take my money” at the screen, you’ll need good timing. The M6A2E1 is intended to remain rare, so it is ONLY available on April 1st (this is definitely not a joke!) for 24 hours in the Wargaming shop for the PC version of World of Tanks. Whether and when it will come back is unknown.
The price and the contents of the M6A2E1 package are not yet known. However, we have asked Wargaming and will update this information here as soon as we know more. To let you take a closer look at the tank, we have embedded a video from YouTuber and World of Tanks pro Mootality, who was allowed to test the M6A2E1 in advance and caused quite a stir on the battlefield.

The latest hotfix for World of Warcraft increases the drop rates of Nether Shards. But there are also significant changes for healers in PvP.
Shortly after the release of a new patch, small hotfixes are always pushed out for World of Warcraft to fix the most urgent bugs in the game. Yesterday, a hotfix was deployed on the American servers, which is also active for us starting today (04/01/2017). Collecting Nether Shards should now be easier, as the rare elite enemies at the Broken Shore now leave behind significantly more shards. The same applies to all enemies defeated “in the shadow of the Sentinax.”
Nether Shards serve as currency for the new faction “Legion Judge.” With it, players can purchase toys, buffs, and equipment. Farming is particularly worthwhile for second characters or backups, as the items have an item level that usually ranges between 850 and 870 – the perfect starting gear for tougher adventures.
In general, the Legion ship Sentinax has received several improvements that provide players with more clarity. A message will now appear when the Sentinax has finished recharging its energies. This way, it is obvious to all players when the Sentinax signals can be used again to create new portals. Additionally, a loud warning sound will play when a particularly powerful enemy leaves the Sentinax.
Healing in the arena will be weaker
For 2v2 arena matches, healing is drastically reduced. The “dampening” effect that occurs in arenas after a while starts with a 20% effect in the 2v2 matches right from the start. This is intended to reduce the duration of arena matches.
Finally, a bug was fixed that prevented mythic raiders from completing the “Ahead of the Curve: Gul’dan” achievement. This should remain attainable until the Tomb of Sargeras opens – so at least 11 weeks; the quest line to open the new raid is not fully accessible before that.

In our overview, we present all 135 cards of the Hearthstone expansion “Journey to Un’Goro”.
Last night, on March 31, 2017, Blizzard presented all the cards of the new expansion “Journey to Un’Goro” in a livestream. A few cards were already known, but nearly 70 new ones were added. Now all cards from “Journey to Un’Goro” are complete, which we want to present to you in this article.
The cards are sorted by class and rarity. If you want to jump to a specific class, just click on the corresponding link. Otherwise, you can browse through the individual pages and take a look at all the cards one by one.
In the livestream, Blizzard also revealed the release date for “Journey to Un’Goro”. The card expansion “Journey to Un’Goro” will be released on April 6, 2017. Due to the different time zones, it will likely happen for us in the late evening – unless something comes up.
A new law is making life difficult for gamers worldwide. Games from America will now arrive in Europe much later.
Thanks to globalization, everything is just a small step away from us. When a game is released in Japan, America, or Korea, it usually only takes a few days before it hits our market as well – often it happens simultaneously. That may now be temporarily over, as a law from America is putting a stop to that.
Yesterday, on March 31, 2017, American President Donald Trump signed a new decree that will also have significant impacts on gaming culture in Europe. By law, the broadly defined term “technological achievements” may only enter the market elsewhere in the world with a delay of 6 months after its development and release in America. What was primarily intended for weapons, automotive, and industrial technology is proving to be a setback for all video game fans due to the wording of the decree.
For gamers, this means in plain language: American games will be released in Europe at the earliest 6 months (180 days) after the release in the USA.
In a press conference after the signing of the decree, Trump himself commented on this order:
“America is a leader in technology and software development. No one understands the development of software and technology as well as I do. It’s a shame that we pass software and technology on so quickly to other countries. Really bad! The new decree will ensure that new software and technology remain with the good people they are intended for: Americans.”
Meanwhile, Electronic Arts has already released a response to reassure customers in Europe.
“Even though many of our fans are disappointed that games will now be released late, we want to emphasize the positive aspects of this law. Our European customers may come into contact with our products later but will then receive a significantly improved version. Consider the delay as an extended beta test that you unfortunately cannot participate in but will benefit from all the advantages of this phase!”
Looking back at the game releases of recent years, that seems to be true. Especially in the first months, games are often improved with patches to fix the worst design flaws.
Blizzard has already announced that they will adjust the release dates of their games in the coming days. The latest Hearthstone expansion “Journey to Un’goro” will likely only be released in October – it’s indeed a particularly long journey.
On Twitter, the “Federal Act of Knowledge Export” (F.a-KE-Pact) triggered a worldwide backlash that is still ongoing. Trump countered this by stating that “America first” means that the American people also take precedence in entertainment.
Furthermore, they aim to further curb the copying and counterfeiting of software by ensuring that products do not leave their own country.
“There are many evil men and women out there. They want to do evil things. They copy our work, the good work of hard-working men and women. And counterfeit it. That’s sick!”
This may lead to a very lukewarm gaming summer in Europe – without American new releases.

The Secret World Legends, the reboot of The Secret World, has its own beta phase and further invitations will be sent out this weekend. Additionally, the developers at Funcom announced that all customers of the old The Secret World would automatically unlock all basic weapons in the relaunch.
The Secret World, the creepy mystery horror online role-playing game from Funcom, will soon be re-released as a quasi-fresh game The Secret World Legends. The new game is supposed to be more action-packed and dynamic than the rather bulky original. Also, only the term “Shared World RPG” is now used, no longer MMORPG.
As so much is changing in TSWL, a closed beta is intended to ensure a smooth release.

A large wave of beta invitations will reportedly be sent out today, March 31, according to Game Director Romain Amiel.
If you haven’t had any luck yet, you shouldn’t lose hope. Funcom wants maximum participation and will send out more beta invitations. With a bit of luck, you will eventually get your beta spot. However, note that a strict NDA is in place. You are not allowed to discuss your experiences until the beta ends.
The Secret World Legends: Weapon Arsenal for All Regular Customers!
If you already own the old The Secret World, you have reason to be happy. Customers of the original game will have all basic weapons in the game unlocked from the start of The Secret World Legends.
You will still have to create a new hero, but at least with a large arsenal of weapons, starting anew should be a bit easier. The Secret World remains Buy2Play while The Secret World Legends will be Free2Play.
Today, on March 31, the Trials of Osiris begin in Destiny. Which map will be played?
The update 2.6.0 last Tuesday brought several changes that directly affect the Trials. Regarding the bounties:
Existing Trials bounties remain in the player’s inventory and can be completed to receive the corresponding rewards.
New versions of the bounties are now offered by Brother Vance and can be completed daily when the Trials of Osiris are active.
Armor and weapon rewards from bounties have been updated and now include all “Year 3” items that do not have the “Masterwork” attribute.
Additionally:
A bug has been fixed that allowed a player in the surviving team to continue the round by using “Fireborn” even if all opponents were eliminated.
Furthermore, there were balance adjustments, such as the Scori and hand cannon nerf or that the No Land Beyond no longer has flinch. You can find the patch notes for 2.6.0 here.
The Trials of Osiris start today at 7 PM. They will last until the weekly reset next Tuesday. This time the map The Burning Shrine will be played.
What are the Trials of Osiris?
In the Trials, you engage in PvP battles in the “Elimination” mode. You compete 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. It is not only about having strong equipment but also about communication among the Guardians. A good knowledge of the map is beneficial.
With 5 and 7 wins, you gain random rewards from Osiris’s loot pool. Additionally, you should keep an eye on Brother Vance’s bounties for extra rewards. If you are in top form, you can use a “flawless” ticket to access Mercury and raid the chest with the fine loot.
FIFA 17 FUT celebrates its birthday today, on March 31st! Here you will find information about packs, the birthday team, gifts, SBCs, and player cards during the birthday event in Ultimate Team.
On March 19, 2009, the “Ultimate Team” mode was introduced in FIFA 09. On this day, the success story of FUT began – an online mode that became the most successful and profitable mode in the history of the FIFA series. Since then, FUT has been an integral part of FIFA, with new features added every year, such as in FIFA 17 FUT Champions and SBCs.
To celebrate this anniversary, the “FUT Birthday” event has been held in FUT since FIFA 14. This event is typically held shortly after March 19 and usually lasts a week.
FUT 17 turns 8 – Start of the Birthday Celebration
FUT Birthday starts on March 31 at 7 PM. It ends on April 8.
Contents of the Birthday Event – Team, SBCs, Gifts
A birthday team has just been revealed. It will be live from 7 PM and features 23 players with upgraded cards: New premium SBCs are coming. This way, you can obtain unique items and a jersey.
Additionally, there are daily birthday SBCs. The more you complete, the better the rewards. The extra rewards will be available after the event, but before April 14. Here are the extra rewards:
3 daily SBCs – Mega Pack
4 daily SBCs – Premium Player Pack
5 daily SBCs – Rare Player Pack
6 daily SBCs – Rare Mega Pack
7 daily SBCs – Jumbo Rare Player Pack
8 daily SBCs – Ultimate Pack
The contents of these packs are untradeable. The rewards do not stack.
Additionally: Log in every day to the web app or companion app. There are daily gifts waiting for you.
This is how the birthday went in FIFA 16
In FIFA 16 there were:
Pack offers: New packs went live every 8 hours that could be purchased.
Free packs – Gifts: On each day, there were free packs containing untradeable player cards. Even packs that normally cost 50k coins were included.
FUT tournament: The “FUT Birthday Cup” took place – a tournament with an exclusive jersey and substantial coin prizes.
International player cards: There were also 21 cards of players featuring the positions they held in their national teams. The ratings remained unchanged, only the positions were different.
With the right champion, the contents of patch 7.2 are a piece of cake. Have you got Meatball on the team?
With patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” for World of Warcraft, many players spend a large part of their time on the Broken Shore. Apart from a few world quests, there is also a major elite enemy every few minutes, who has particularly many nether shards in his possession. Alone, the opponent with 60 million health points is difficult to defeat. However, this can be drastically simplified if you have the right champion!
Did you know that patch 7.1.5 already brought a new companion for all class halls? For this, you need to head to the arena in Orgrimmar or Stormwind (Deep Run), as soon as you have access. Access can be obtained from reward chests from dungeons or from Vrykul in the northeast of Stormheim.
Meatball is a valuable ally on the Broken Shore.
You must win enough fights in the arena until you have defeated Meatball. When you return to the arena later, Meatball will be standing by and can be recruited as a companion for the Garrison in Draenor. Then return to your class hall.
After a while, a new mission for your followers will appear at the mission table: “No word about the arena”. You must complete this mission. It is important, however, that you increase the chance to 200%! Because the bonus loot from this mission is what matters. If you fail, you can try again afterwards.
This game cycles a few times and your followers have to complete a total of 5 missions around the arena and bring back the bonus loot each time. Once that is done, the quest “Meatball stew” starts – return to the arena and fetch your new champion.
What makes Meatball so special?
Meatball, or in English “Meatball”, is probably the most powerful companion one can wish for on the Broken Isles. He brings his abilities from the arena with him. Two abilities are particularly crucial here.
Energy orbs: Approximately every 10-15 seconds, Meatball causes an energy orb to appear through his melee attacks, which lands near the player. If the player runs through this orb, the damage dealt increases by 10% for 20 seconds. This effect is stackable up to 5 times! If Meatball is permanently engaged in battle, you can deal 50% more damage consistently, causing tough elite enemies to fall quickly!
Meatball is hungry: When Meatball hits an enemy and their health points fall between 20% and 25%, Meatball occasionally executes a finishing move. He then roars “MEATBALL IS HUNGRY!” and the corresponding enemy is stunned for 3 seconds. At the end of the stun, the enemy simply implodes and dies – no matter how many health points they had left! Against scaling rare elite enemies, Meatball can deal between 20-100 million damage, benefiting all players.
Meatball is definitely a worthwhile investment. Dive into the arena and get this elite gnoll, who would make even Hogger tremble.

New cards from the Un’Goro expansion reveal why Sylvanas was banned from Hearthstone .
In just under a week, the release of “Journey to Un’Goro”, the latest Hearthstone adventure, is expected. Before Blizzard reveals the big wave of the last cards, they have highlighted a few key features.
The new legendary card for the Druids is Tyrantus. This powerful beast costs 10 mana and has massive stats of 12/12. Particularly threatening is that Tyrantus cannot be targeted by spells or enemy hero powers, making it very difficult for foes to directly eliminate it.
Also a beast, but much smaller, is the Ravasaur Runt, a 2/2 minion for 2 mana. Through its Battlecry, it gains an Adapt effect if the player controls at least 2 other minions. So, the little hatchling learns from other minions.
One of the biggest changes with the start of the “Year of the Mammoth” is the shifting of several Classic cards that can no longer be played in the Standard format. This includes giants like Ragnaros, but also Sylvanas Windrunner. The reason why the latter was banned can seemingly be traced back to the new card Spiritsinger Umbra. This legendary 4-mana minion with stats of 3 /4 has a pretty powerful card effect. As long as she is on the field, she makes played minions trigger their Deathrattle effect immediately! For Sylvanas, that would have been a direct Mind Control, which they likely did not want in the game (far from priests) – especially since it can be triggered a second time.
Byebye, Sylvi.
What do you think of these new cards? Cool innovations with many possibilities? Or rather disappointing?
A new season in Diablo means that everything is reset to zero. At the same time, you have the chance to secure a place in the top positions of the leaderboard, into which only the best players can enter.
With a new patch, set items, legendary items, and characters are strengthened or weakened. This regularly changes the leaderboard of the strongest builds and classes in Diablo 3. For the current Season 10, we show you here the best builds and classes that give you the best chances in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
What does the builds and classes tier list depend on?
The tier list we present to you was created by Diablo 3 expert Rhykker. It is based on data he has evaluated from the NA, EU, Asia, PTR, Season, and non-Season leaderboards. Some builds and classes stood out as being significantly stronger than others.
It is important to note that no combination of class and build is considered “bad” in this tier list. It is about comparing which combination can complete higher Greater Nephalem Rifts. There is a difference of 15 Greater Rift levels between “Tier F” and “Tier S”. This does not mean that builds from F-Tier should not be played, but rather that they are the “worst of the best builds”.
All these combinations of skills and equipment (builds) can easily reach level 70 in the Greater Rifts, thereby unlocking archaic items that can significantly improve your equipment. To keep this list from becoming endlessly long, some builds that might be just below F-Tier are not included.
Order:
S-Tier: The best solo GR builds – Considered by many as OP builds in Diablo 3
A-Tier: Five GR levels behind S-Tier
B-Tier: Seven GR levels behind S-Tier
C-Tier: Ten GR levels behind S-Tier
D-Tier: Twelve GR levels behind S-Tier
F-Tier: 15 GR levels behind S-Tier
Note: You will often find the term “LON” in the tier list. LON stands for Legacy of Nightmare – This is the English name of the set bonus Legacy of Nightmares. This set bonus is available with the rings The Wailing Host and Litany of the Undaunted. “As long as this is your only set bonus, every equipped ancient item increases your damage by 100% and reduces the damage you take by 4%.”

F-Tier Builds Diablo 3 Season 10
Uliana’s Monk: The Uliana build for the Monk is still strong but cannot keep up with the other sets of this class. If you only have the Uliana set, you can play well with it, but you will be better off with other sets like Sun-Wuko. Here is the Uliana build on Icy-Veins.com
SunWuko’s Monk: This build is a weaker alternative to the LON Monk that you can use to farm the items for the LON-LTK-Monk. Parts of the equipment are used in both builds and reduce the time you need for farming. There are several playstyles for the SunWuko set, such as the Wave of Light build which has advantages in speedruns. The set is therefore not “bad” but is overshadowed by other sets when it comes to clearing Greater Rifts. Here is the SunWuko Lashing Tailkick build on Icy-Veins.com
LON-Thorns Barbarian: The LON builds are particularly difficult to farm because you need the right ancient items with optimal stats. If this LON build is not stronger than other builds where you do not have to farm these optimal ancient items, it is not worth the effort. Although this mentioned build does not deal significantly less damage, it is much harder to assemble, which is why it landed in F-Tier. Here is the LON-Thorns build on Icy-Veins.com
D-Tier Builds Diablo 3 Season 10
Invoker-Thorns Crusader: With this build, you get one step closer to the LON-Thorns Crusader. The Invoker-Thorns build is not bad, but it is overshadowed by the top builds. Here is the Invoker-Thorns build on Icy-Veins.com
Roland’s Crusader: In Patch 2.5.0, the Roland set received a buff and thus an increase in damage. Therefore, this build is roughly on par with the Invoker build – Maybe even slightly better. But as mentioned before: The Crusader has significantly better builds that cannot compete with these. Here is Roland’s build with Sweep Attack on Icy-Veins.com
Leapquake Barbarian: This build was still in F-Tier before Patch 2.5.0, but it rose to D-Tier due to a buff. It is among the strongest Barbarian builds, although they all lie in D-Tier (Sorry, dear Barbarian friends). Here is the Leapquake build on Icy-Veins.com
Jade Witch Doctor: Due to the recently activated changes to monster density in Greater Rifts, this build received an indirect buff. Nevertheless, it remains behind the Fire Bat build. Here is the Jade build on Icy-Veins.com
Helltooth Gigantuan Witch Doctor: The Helltooth Gigantuan Doctor was up until a few patches ago the strongest version of this class. The increased monster density, however, allowed other builds to benefit much more significantly, which is why this one is only in D-Tier. Here is the Helltooth Gigantuan build on Icy-Veins.com
Charge Barbarian: The Barbarian build that combines the Raekor and Immortal King sets was once one of the strongest. However, the change in monster density made another build even stronger than this one. Here is the Charge build on Icy-Veins.com
Whirlwind Barbarian: This is currently the strongest build of the Barbarian class. The fact that this one is in D-Tier does not reflect well on the Barbarian. This class could certainly use more love from the developers. Nevertheless, the Whirlwind benefits significantly from the increased monster density. Here is the Whirlwind Barbarian on Icy-Veins.com

C-Tier Builds in Diablo 3 Season 10
Inna’s EP Monk: The Inna set was buffed in Patch 2.5.0 and now causes 25% more damage than before. Due to this buff, the build has been promoted from D-Tier to C-Tier. The advantage of this set is that Inna is the starter set for Monks and can quickly be in your inventory. This set is used as a foundation for many good solo builds and is needed for the role of support monk in the group. Here is the Inna EP build on Icy-Veins.com
Zunimassa’s Fire Bat Witch Doctor: Originally, this build stood in the F-Tier category, but it was later raised a few tiers. Youtuber Anthony Evans found during testing that the Zunimassa set is also playable with Fire Bats, thus pushing the set a bit. Nevertheless, this set is not the best for the Witch Doctor. A video explaining the build can be found here on Youtube
LON-LTK Monk: A strong build for Monk fans that remains average overall. The reason is the LON variant, which makes farming the equipment possible only with a lot of time investment. Here is the LTK build with LON or Sunwuko on Icy-Veins.com
Marauder Grenade Demon Hunter: The buff of the Marauder set made this build one of the strongest for the DH. It is about two GR levels behind the best DH build and has the advantage that the DH starts with the Marauder set. The base equipment is therefore quickly in the inventory if you use Haedrig’s gift for the DH. The Marauder Grenade build is explained here on Youtube
Shadow Impale Demon Hunter: The changes in Patch 2.5.0 have been particularly beneficial for this set, as it now deals triple damage. You can also use this build in a group when you are deployed as a DD as a Rift Guardian Killer. Advantages include mobility and high toughness, allowing you to move through monster groups and not die as a glass cannon from every hit. The Ninja Impale build is explained here on Youtube.
Fire Bat Witch Doctor: This is the best Witch Doctor build for solo Greater Rifts. You have two options with different advantages: The Helltooth variant gives you more toughness and the Arachyr variant gives you more damage. You use Arachyr for group play (your allies keep you alive). To take on large groups of enemies, the Fire Bat build is probably the best build in Diablo 3. Here is the Fire Bat build on Icy-Veins.com

B-Tier Builds in Diablo 3 Season 10
LON-Daggers Demon Hunter: For a long time, this build was one of the best for the Demon Hunter. As mentioned, it is hard to farm your gear for a LON Build. However, once you have the items in your inventory, you can unleash the full power. Here is the LON-Daggers build on Icy-Veins.com
Inna Gen Monk: Until Patch 2.5.0, this build lagged far behind the Raiment Generator build for the Monk. Due to recent buffs, the Inna set can keep up again and is now only 2-3 GR levels behind the Raiment-Gen build. The Inna Generator Monk is explained here on Youtube
Unholy Essence with Grenade Demon Hunter: The grenade build with the UE set is the best build of the Demon Hunter. It has long been considered one of the best speed farming combinations for the Demon Hunter and has now become relevant for Greater Rifts due to the addition of grenades. The UE Grenade build is explained here on Youtube
A-Tier Builds in Diablo 3 Season 10
LON Bombardment Crusader: This Thorns build was for a while the best Crusader build in Diablo 3.Currently, it is only ranked second. As a LON build, it is again difficult to obtain the necessary gear before you can effectively utilize the combination. Here is the endgame Bombardment build on Icy-Veins.com
Raiment Duo-Gen Monk: This build is the best Monk build in Diablo 3. The generator builds of the Monk have been strong for some time, but the duo version is even stronger. It works better with the second spirit generator “somewhat” than the simple gen build and is therefore a few GR levels ahead of the Inna’s Gen build. You can find the basic setup of the Raiment-Gen Monk here on Icy-Veins.com – You need to replace the Cyclone Strike with the Way of the Hundred Fists with the Assimilation rune.
Hammerdin Crusader: The “Hammerdin” is the best build for the Crusader class. With this equipment and skill set, you have a high damage output that can bring you to the top rankings of the leaderboard. In this Youtube video, the Hammerdin build is explained to you
Lightning Archon Wizard: As an Archon Wizard with lightning damage, you have combined the best wizard build and the best solo build of Diablo 3. Although there was a slight nerf for this build in Patch 2.5.0, the Hydra variant compensates for this nerf.
A guide for the best solo build in Diablo 3, the Lightning Hydra build, can be seen in the following video:
Find information on the two expansions in Destiny 2. Guardians will have some form of involvement with Osiris.
The story in Destiny 2 is said to be “great”, “fresh”, and “inviting”, at least according to Bungie and Activision. However, we do not yet know many details about it. We know that the Last City will be destroyed by an invasion of the Cabal Legion, commanded by Ghaul. Ghaul will likely be the big boss to be defeated at the end, which is what the story is leading to.
To eliminate Ghaul, Guardians will be sent to mysterious and unknown worlds of the Solar System to reunite the scattered heroes of humanity. Together, they are to reclaim their home.
These “scattered heroes of humanity” leave much room for speculation – and for story content. Bungie may be bringing back some of the story-related content and lore that players missed in Destiny 1. Perhaps Guardians will finally get to know the characters they have only known by name until now. One example: Osiris.
Expansion I and II – Content from the expansion pass points to Osiris
The expansion pass for Destiny 2 costs 30 euros and includes expansions I and II. It is officially known that these expansions will feature new story missions, cooperative activities, a multiplayer mode, and new weapons, armor pieces, and other items. This graphic was published:
It shows two symbols:
Under Expansion I is the Osiris symbol. Most Guardians will be familiar with this. You encounter it during the Trials of Osiris.
Under Expansion II is a symbol associated with Rasputin.
Rasputin is a War Mind in the Cosmodrome, created during the Golden Age. He is the last surviving War Mind.
The Osiris symbol could simply mean that the Trials of Osiris return with the first expansion. After all, the season pass overview states that a multiplayer mode is included. Or Guardians may actually meet Osiris.
Osiris could be one of the ancient heroes that Guardians encounter on their journey through the Solar System. Osiris is an old Warlock who was once part of the Vanguard and was banished by the Speaker from the Last City.
He sought knowledge, the truth about the purpose of the Guardians. He believed in greater truths. He was particularly interested in the Darkness, especially the Hive. However, Osiris wasted important resources that were necessary for securing the last city to chase legends and rumors. For this reason – and because he was possessed by the nature of Darkness – he was banished by the Speaker.
Osiris still has disciples, like Brother Vance. Because he had connections to the Queen in the Reef (and also to the Nine), Brother Vance is located at the Vestian Outpost.
Brother Vance
Osiris has dealt with the big questions in the Destiny universe – with Light, with Darkness. Perhaps in Destiny 2, we will delve deep into the backstory!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Better Server Stability
The first patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is 4.2 gigabytes in size and adds new servers for South America and Oceania. Additionally, overall server performance has been improved, and crashes should occur less frequently now. In gameplay, the shrinking of the game world has been slightly slowed down to prevent frenzy and chaos at the end of a match.
Among other things, the first patch also brings the following changes:
View Distance setting added to the graphics options
Zone speed adjusted in the endgame
Weapon volume adjusted in the lobby
Crosshair removed in vehicles
Condition of items on the ground visible in TAB view
Sound bug while crouching and walking fixed
Performance issues in inventory fixed
Bokeh effect removed in spectator mode
Bug with reviving teammates fixed
Character creation bug fixed
Vehicle damage bug fixed
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Weekly Updates from Now On
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is set to receive regular updates. The developers are following this plan:
Daily updates: Improving server performance
Weekly updates: Bug fixes and client optimizations
Monthly updates: New content and balance improvements
In the coming weeks up to April 14, the developers at Bluehole are also planning improvements in frame rate, a better leaderboard, and a ping lock. This should exclude players with hopelessly bad pings before they ruin the whole game.
As it turned out, basketball legend Tim Duncan was a player of World of Warcraft. At his time, about 10 years ago, the game was quite popular in the NBA. Some of them really took it too far.
PvPLive reports on a podcast “Road Trippin” (link opens a new window.) Former superstar Tim Duncan (played from 1997-2016 for the San Antonio Spurs) appeared on this podcast with other basketball players like Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson.
About 6:30 minutes into the podcast, Channing Frye said, “Tim Duncan and I were in the same WoW guild. We took it seriously, but … man, Andrei Kirilenko – he overdid it.“
Andrei Kirilenko was probably a real WoW junkie
Andrei “AK 47” Kirilenko is a former Russian basketball player who played for the Utah Jazz for 10 years. As Channing Frye recounts, Kirilenko had several characters at max level and could have sold them for a lot of money because WoW was so popular back then.
At 3 AM, the night before an important basketball game, they reportedly saw Kirilenko running around with a character in WoW and asked him, “Hey, aren’t you playing tomorrow?” Kirilenko replied, “Yeah, probably.”
Everyone was like that back then, Frye says. Especially during exhausting away games with time differences, the stars felt the late-night WoW hours during the matches painfully.
Interestingly in this context: Kirilenko’s career took a turn for the worse in the 2006/2007 season. Until then, he had played strong years in the NBA, but from 06/07 onwards, it didn’t go so well. 2006/2007 was the peak phase of WoW.
But it’s unclear whether Kirilenko’s problems really had anything to do with his time in WoW or if there were other sports-related reasons, like a reshuffling of the Utah Jazz roster that season.
Dickpuncher and “WoW = Virgin”
The conversation of the former top athletes sounds like playful banter, as if old WoW friends are meeting. Frye talks about his hunter in WoW. He named his pet “Dickpuncher,” which led to a lot of laughter. “Nerd alert,” it is said multiple times.
However, the third former NBA star Richard Jefferson never played the MMORPG WoW. He played the strategy games Warcraft, but WoW always sounded to him like “virgin,” he says.
Gaming is a big deal in the NBA – not just WoW
As the conversation reveals, gaming in the NBA is not limited to WoW. Nowadays, many NBA players exchange their gamertags to compete against each other in NBA2k or Madden.
Tim Duncan was probably a feared player in “Call of Duty” on the PlayStation during his time. What his teammates never really understood was: How could Duncan even hold the controller with his huge hands?
Tim Duncan is considered one of the best players in the North American professional league NBA overall. The 2.11m tall power forward played 19 years for the San Antonio Spurs, won 5 NBA championships and was elected twice as the most valuable player. Duncan is a 15-time NBA All Star and is regarded as the best power forward of all time.
Week is over, work done, game mode on! But what will be played? We want to know what you are playing this weekend!
The current weekend from March 31 to April 2 is almost too nice for gaming due to its beautiful weather, but by the evening it should be time for extensive gaming sessions. Especially fans of monster brawling and melee slaughter should get their money’s worth this weekend.
Weekend Events – Death or Devil?
Two games are particularly worth it this weekend. On one hand, the brutal sword-fighting MMO For Honor from Ubisoft. There is again a Champion Status Weekend, where you can snag more experience points for your victories. Ideal for leveling up your heroes and collecting loot.

If you prefer to kick the devil in the red butt, log into Diablo 3 and throw yourself into the chaos of the tenth season. This time you can loot super rare and super powerful ancient items, and even console players can join for the first time.
What is the editorial team playing?
The team from Mein-MMO is gaming even in nice weather! Here you can see what keeps us in dark gaming rooms this weekend:
Colleague Ttime prefers to sharpen the katana and slip into the Orochi armor. Because he wants to make full use of the champion status in For Honor this weekend and golden his epic slaughters with even more XP. Destiny is, of course, also being played.
Cortyn has returned to the Nether after a trip to the Andromeda Galaxy and has returned to Azeroth in World of Warcraft. There, our local succubus is prowling around in the form of a Draenei priestess at the shattered coast, infiltrating unsuspecting groups of heroes. And even if she finds the coast stupid, she will still keep playing.
Patrick, on the other hand, has made a pact with the devil! In exchange for additional Pokémon, he has to play every season of Diablo 3 when it comes out. Therefore, he is glued to his PC the whole weekend and has to face the hellish legions in the tenth season of Diablo 3.
Only missing is little old me, Jürgen: This weekend I will definitely continue playing Mass Effect Andromeda. Because even though Ryder has a pancake face and nothing better came out in the editor, I have really grown fond of the anti-Shepard heroine with her rough humor. And the exploring-and-researching gameplay of Andromeda fits, in my opinion, perfectly to a science fiction RPG in a foreign galaxy, while it bothered me a lot in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
But I will also play a bit of For Honor and also grab the new goodies at Hearthstone. Because there is always time for a round of card bashing, and you can play it outside on the tablet!
But enough about us! What are you playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments!
