Destiny: Update 1.32 is now live – Patch Notes – Age of Triumph

Tom Rothstein 28. March 2017 Reading time 8 minutes

In Destiny, the update 2.6.0 with version number 1.32 for PS4 and Xbox One is live. The Age of Triumph begins. Here are the patch notes in English.

This evening, on March 28, the Age of Triumph dawns for the Guardians. Since September 2014, they have been fighting against the darkness – now it is time for the players to celebrate their legends and let “Destiny 1” fade out with one last hurrah. The sequel “Destiny 2” is already on the horizon.

Around 7 PM, update 2.6.0 went live, which marks the start of the “Age of Triumph.” It is approximately 850 MB in size. Some new features, bug fixes, and adjustments were already known in advance. What else is included in the patch notes?

Update 2.6.0 Patch Notes – Highlights

First, let’s talk about the raids: You can find new weapons, armor pieces, ornaments, ghost shells, sparrows, shaders, and emblems. Once a week per account, there are “Knuckles of Eao” to earn in the featured raids. This gives you extra rewards in the raids.

Three of Coins works with the Templar, Atheon, Ir-Yut (the Witch with Crota), and Crota. These four bosses also have challenge modes.
The detection of inactive players in strikes is stricter.
Xur now sells two exotic weapon packages each week: 1 exotic weapon and 1 corresponding weapon ornament are included.

The complete patch notes in English

We embed the patch notes here:

Raids

A Raid playlist is now available and recommends a raid each week in the navigator.

We removed a condition that caused fireteams with fewer than three players to be unable to make progress after the Gorgons in “Glass Chamber”.
A bug was fixed where one of the door switches in the second Vosik encounter was obscured by a wall and thus difficult to hit with a SIVA charge.

Ashes of Creation: Das Node-System – Ihr bestimmt, wie sich die Welt entwickelt

Andreas Bertits 28. March 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Ashes of Creation will give you the opportunity to influence the world around you through your actions and decisions. This employs a so-called node system.

Many fans have not understood exactly how this system works, which is why the developers have explained it again. Nodes are special points that are spread throughout the game world. At the beginning, you do not know where the nodes are located. Each node affects a specific area in the world. At a node, a camp is established through the actions of the players, which is then expanded into a village, a town, or even a large city.

Your actions change the world

Every action that players now perform in the influence area of the node affects it. This is manifested in the way the area develops in certain directions. But be careful, depending on how you behave in the area, certain developments will also be excluded. This can lead to conflicts with neighboring areas that would like to see their land developed in a different direction, which would benefit their own goals.

At the beginning of the game, you reach the world through a portal and set out to explore the landscape. Somewhere nearby, there will be a node. If you start mining ore from a rich deposit now, it will affect the node. Another player is cutting down wood because he wants to build a hut. Both players gain experience points and contribute to the development of the node. Once the node reaches level 1, NPCs settle nearby in a small camp. The NPCs will then interact with you, trade with you, and offer you quests.

You trigger events that happen differently on each server

Later, a well-developed city can attract enemies that you must fight to protect the city. However, if the location had not developed so far, these enemies would never have appeared. Since the city was also built near forests, the monsters from those forests become active and attack. A city on the coast, on the other hand, might have attracted sea monsters instead.

A further rise of the node unlocks a bridge over a large river, creating a trade route to another city. However, all these activities have awakened an ancient dragon that would have continued to slumber if the trade route had not been established. He now represents a dangerous boss enemy, who might not appear at all on another server, because the node there has developed completely differently.

You determine through your actions how a node develops, and the development of the node affects the game, the quests, the monsters you encounter, trade routes, and much more. This creates a continually evolving world where your actions dictate the direction in which it develops. The MMORPG Ashes of Creation is set to enter an alpha stage later this year.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – EA talks about solutions in Patch 1

Cortyn 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

EA and BioWare make no secret of the issues with Mass Effect. We reveal what problems they are currently working on.

Although Mass Effect: Andromeda entertains hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, there are still quite a few small issues in BioWare’s SciFi universe. From glitchy facial animations to bugged battles and unsolvable quests, everyone has probably encountered one annoyance or another. But what are the developers at BioWare currently working on? What will be included in the first patch for Mass Effect: Andromeda?

No patch notes, but first plans for a patch

Meanwhile, EA has released a list detailing some major issues that are currently being addressed.

Performance

Crossfire does not lead to a significant improvement in performance
Dolby Vision is currently disabled on PC
The image appears distorted in the 4:3 and 5:4 resolutions
Attempting to display the game in 16:9 or 16:10 can result in the game crashing
Performance may drop significantly in the Storm Canyons

Squad Members

Squad members can be repeatedly teleported to the player and follow them even when commanded not to

Interface

(Console) Objects in space can slowly rotate or “shake” when using the right control stick

Missions/Levels

(PS4) Repeatedly skipping the intro cinematic during the “Remnant City” mission may cause Ryder to get stuck in the air
During main missions, the game does not save often enough
We are aware of some areas where mission progress is not calculated correctly. Leaving the area and then returning can temporarily fix this.

General

When moving in a zig-zag, Ryder may get stuck in the wrong animations
Sound may disappear during gameplay. Exiting and restarting the game temporarily fixes this issue.
If a new Ryder is created immediately after leaving another save, some quest items from the journal may be transferred over, leading to further issues on the Hyperion.

It is emphasized that this list is not exhaustive, and they are aware of other issues; however, those listed here currently take priority.

It is still unclear whether fixes for all these problems will make it into the first patch. As soon as there is a finished update or plans regarding this, you will find the complete patch notes with us.

What issues are you facing in Mass Effect: Andromeda?

SAM is also getting on everyone’s nerves – will it get a patch too?

GTA 5 Online: Infernus Classic jetzt verfügbar – Ist er den Preis wert?

Patrick Freese 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

This is the new Infernus Classic in GTA 5 Online. Does this race car suit you and should you buy it right away?

Fans of fast sports cars regularly get their money’s worth in GTA 5 Online when developers release new cars. The latest model is the Infernus Classic, which is part of the recently activated “Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle update. This cool red racer is reminiscent of a well-known car from Italy, which is also not cheap. Is the Pegassi Infernus Classic worth its price?

Pegassi Infernus Classic – Speed and Tuning

As a Ferrari or Lamborghini fan, the new Pegassi Infernus Classic is a must-buy at first glance. The design with its low headlights, subtle spoiler, and side air intakes reminds of the Ferrari Testarossa or other vehicles like the Lamborghini Diablo or the Cizeta-Moroder V16T. It also features pop-up headlights that can be activated when needed.

However, the new car also comes with a certain price tag. It is not particularly cheap and costs just under a million dollars.

For 915,000 GTA$, you can get the Pegassi Infernus Classic at Legendary Motorsport. But how much power does this car have?

Infernus Classic or Turismo Classic?

Youtuber Broughy1322 took a close look at the Infernus Classic and the Turismo Classic, which will be released next week. He tested both cars on the PC version of GTA 5 Online by importing them with mods. His recommendation is to wait for the Turismo Classic and save your money if you want the faster car.

However, if your focus is not on winning races, but you want to expand your car collection with a nice vehicle, then the Infernus Classic is also a good choice for you.

When considering performance alone, the Turismo Classic is ahead compared to the Infernus in terms of performance. In circuit races, Broughy compared the cars and found that the Turismo Classic is significantly faster in this type of race than the Stirling GT and the Infernus Classic.

Hearthstone: Nesingwary is back – “Hemet” destroys its own deck

Cortyn 28. March 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

New “Un’Goro” cards in Hearthstone destroy your own deck. Is that tactically sound or way too risky?

In just over a week, the expansion “Journey to Un’Goro” is likely to be released. Blizzard is showing more and more cards to get players excited for the new expansion. In today’s edition, there are some Hunter cards as well as a legendary minion for Warriors and Hemet Nesingwary, which significantly reduces the player’s deck.

For Hunters, new synergies with Deathrattle cards are beckoning, as the Terrorscale Stalker, a 3/3 minion for 3 mana, triggers the Deathrattle effect of another minion upon battle cry.

The Small Raptor, 2/1 for 1 mana, comes with a strong battle cry. A 4/3 Raptor for 1 mana is shuffled into the Hunter’s deck.

As a neutral minion, the Thunder Lizard, a 3/3 beast for 3 mana, awaits. If an Elemental was played in the previous turn, the Lizard triggers “Adapt”.

A similar mechanic is present in the Hunter card Crackling Razormaw. For 2 mana with impressive stats of 3/2, it adds “Adapt” to a friendly beast as a battle cry – without any requirements.

For Paladins, there is the Lightinfused Stegodon. This dino for 4 mana with stats of 3/4 grants all Silver Hand recruits an “Adapt” – combined with several 1/1 recruits, this could become quite powerful.

Crazy indeed is Hemet, Jungle Hunter. For 6 mana, he has solid stats of 6/6 and a battle cry that requires planning. Hemet destroys all cards in the player’s deck that cost 3 mana or less! While this ensures that you draw something “big” from the deck every time, it could also destroy some key cards.

The legendary Warrior minion is King Mosh. For 9 mana, he has stats of 9/7 and the battle cry to kill all wounded minions on the battlefield.

What do you think of these new cards?

Until the release of “Journey to Un’Goro”, there are daily login rewards. Nobody should miss out on that!

SWTOR: Massive Update 5.2 “War for Iokath” arrives in April!

Jürgen Horn 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the story will continue soon. The next update “War for Iokath” is coming in April and brings not only a continuation of the story but also new raids!

SWTOR has launched an epic storyline with the last expansion Knights of the Eternal Throne, which is far from over. Because even outside of the many uprisings and rebellions against your rule, there is a new threat on the planet Iokath. Therefore, you must team up with the Empire and the Republic to go to this world and clean up.

SWTOR: War for Iokath – Finally new raid operations

The story on the new world Iokath will certainly be a highlight of update 5.2, but another highlight should be the new raid – called “Operation” in SWTOR. Since the expansion Shadows of Revan from December 2014, there have been no new raid instances in SWTOR. Therefore, expectations for BioWare are correspondingly high.

In addition to the raid, there will also be a reunion with two familiar faces on Iokath, although Bioware has yet to reveal who these well-known newcomers will be. Additionally, there will be a new “Master” difficulty level for the familiar uprisings and a new area for daily missions. All content of “War for Iokath” is designed for level 70. The War for Iokath and update 5.2 will be released on April 11, 2017, and can be downloaded for free by all SWTOR players.

What are your expectations for the new operation in SWTOR? Are you looking forward to the group content, or do you only play Star Wars: The Old Republic as a solo game now and have written it off as an MMO? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny Age of Triumph: Raid schedule – When will each raid be active?

Tom Rothstein 28. March 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny , Age of Triumph brings back the old raids and new items to the game. However, not all raids will be active at 390 Light Level simultaneously. Here are the dates and schedule for the raids and raid challenges.

destiny_age_of_triumph_vault_of_glass_action 16 1152x648

The biggest innovation from the last content update of Destiny 1 is the return of the old raids. The Vault of Glass, Crota’s End, and the King’s Fall raid will receive a 390 Light Level version to elevate them to the endgame level that the fourth raid “Wrath of the Machine” is already situated at.

Information about the Raids in the Age of Triumph

In the Age of Triumph, you need to keep the following in mind for all four raids:

In each raid at Light Level 390, there are legendary weapons and armor with maximum Light Level available as rewards.
Exotic Adept weapons and the new raid ornaments can only be obtained as loot if you complete the challenges in the weekly featured raids.
Each week, there is a featured raid, during which only in this raid are all raid challenges active. The Vault of Glass and Crota’s End raids, which previously had no challenges, will each receive two new challenges.

Important: The 390 Light Level version of a raid is only available after it has been featured for the first time. Once available, the 390 version will remain playable permanently, even if it is not the recommended raid for the week (though no raid challenges will be active then).

When are which raids featured? Dates

On March 28, the Age of Triumph begins with the Crota raid as the weekly featured raid. The following week, the Vault of Glass will be featured, followed by the King’s Fall raid and then Wrath of the Machine.

This means: In the week starting March 28, of the three returning raids, only the 390 version of Crota’s End will be available. In other words, you will have to wait until April 4 for the Vault of Glass and until April 11 for King’s Fall. However, after April 4, the 390 version of Crota’s End will remain permanently playable, though without challenge modes. The challenge modes for the Crota raid will not be live again until April 25.

Here is the schedule for the raid challenges. These are the days when the challenges start and they are active for one week:

Crota’s End: March 28, April 25, May 23, June 20, July 18, August 15
Vault of Glass: April 4, May 2, May 30, June 27, July 25, August 22
King’s Fall: April 11, May 9, June 6, July 4, August 1, August 29
Wrath of the Machine: April 18, May 16, June 13, July 11, August 8, September 5

According to a leak about Destiny 2, the sequel starts on September 8. Therefore, this (unofficial) schedule ends this week.

By the way: The official reason why Crota’s End comes first: This raid has undergone some great changes that you should discover right away.

You can find all 16 new exotic raid adept weapons here.

LoL: Der neue ARSR-Spielmodus – Bleibt er für immer?

Patrick Freese 28. March 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

League of Legends is getting a new game mode that will last forever if it is well-received. It focuses on popular concepts and mechanics.

Players of League of Legends get a new game mode in rotation every few weeks that they can try out on weekends. These modes aim to provide variety to the classic game modes in “5 against 5” matches. A popular alternative game mode is ARURF, where players deal TONS OF DAMAGE with random champions.

The next game mode that the developers are introducing to you could be active for longer than just a weekend. If everything goes well, the new mode may even stay in LoL forever!

ARSR – All Random Summoner’s Rift

The new game mode “All Random Summoner’s Rift” will soon be available for testing on the PBE servers. As the name suggests, you play in this mode with random champions on Summoner’s Rift. But what are the exact rules?

The developers are generally satisfied with the player experience in regular “5 against 5” games on Summoner’s Rift. Therefore, there will be no altered rules in ARSR – except for the random champions. Gold, experience, and other features remain unchanged, confirmed RiotL4T3NCY in the PBE forums.

Details on ARSR:

ARSR (All Random Summoner’s Rift)
Random champions in a regular game on Summoner’s Rift.
You can earn keys and chests.
The mode uses the same pattern for champion allocation as ARAM or ARURF.
Champions are chosen randomly from your purchased champions and the free rotation.
Rerolls are allowed to get new champions assigned.
Rerolls are shared with ARAM rerolls. While the mode is active, you will replenish your rerolls faster.

Will ARSR stay permanently?

So far, there are no specific plans from Riot to keep ARSR permanently, but the creators are not against this idea either. Unlike Dominion or similar game modes, the Summoner’s Rift mode with random champions does not require regular patches to keep the mode “playable”. In general, “it simply works”.

“If the ARSR mode proves to be ‘healthy’ and players have a good time in it, then the developers will consider keeping this game mode permanently,” says RiotL4T3NCY. For Riot, this would be an easy way to introduce a new game mode without having to invest much time in maintenance. A win for both players and developers.

The concept with random champions already exists in ARAM and ARURF. The ARAM mode was only played in custom games in the early days. There, players fought with random champions 5 against 5 on Summoner’s Rift but were only allowed to use the mid-lane to fight. The creators of League of Legends liked the community’s idea so much that they turned it into an official game mode with an exclusive map.

So the chances are good that the ARSR mode could stay forever if it is well-received by the community. Whether the mode ultimately works “well” will soon be seen. First, it will be tested on the PBE servers.

The Playstation 4 version of Skyforge launches today on March 28, 2017 in Early Access. But how do you get into early access and when will the full version be released?

Skyforge is a fast-paced and action-packed SciFi online role-playing game from the creators of Allods Online and is distributed in this region by My.com (Armored Warfare, Revelation Online).

Skyforge – Early Access and Download available today

The fast and instance-based gameplay of Skyforge is ideal for consoles like the PS4. Unfortunately, however, you will have to wait until April 11, as that is when the launch of the free-to-play game begins. But for those who cannot wait that long and want to grab some goodies beforehand, you can enter the game via early access today, March 28.

For this, a special early adopter pack is required, which has been available for purchase in the PSN Store since last night for 19.99, and includes not only two weeks of early access to Skyforge but also some useful bonuses:

10,000 Argents, the premium currency of Skyforge
7 days premium subscription (which provides additional experience)

By the way, if you are a member of PlayStation Plus, you get the early adopter pack at a lower price, and those who officially register for Skyforge will receive additional bonuses, such as a cool costume.

The PS4 version of Skyforge will be on par with the PC version. However, some endgame content may be missing at launch, but according to My.com, it will be quickly added via hotfix.

Mirage: Arcane Warfare: Beta start – Chivalry free to download!

Jürgen Horn 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Mirage: Arcane Warfare is the unofficial successor to the melee spectacle Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Unlike its predecessor, this one features more fantasy elements as magic and alchemists come into play. The colorful action fun will soon start its Closed Beta, which you can already download.

Those who know Chivalry: Medieval Warfare understand that the game revolves around wild melee fights, well-timed attacks, and blocks in a medieval world, similar to For Honor. Mirage: Arcane Warfare follows a similar gameplay principle.

However, the new game by Torn Banner takes place in a fantasy world where instead of brave knights, assassins, alchemists, and fat mages on flying carpets join the fray.

Mirage: Arcane Warfare – What’s it about?

As in Chivalry, skill and timing are essential in Mirage. Each of the six classes has its own strengths and weaknesses that you must exploit to win. You need to actively block, dodge attacks, and also pay attention to the game’s physics.

Available game modes include: Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, and a payload mode called “Push,” where you must protect a moving mission objective. There is also a capture mode where you capture and hold magical glyphs. The battles take place on a total of 11 maps, all influenced by the Persian/Arabian style of the game.

The Heroes of Mirage: Arcane Warfare

To help you accomplish these objectives, the developers at Torn Banner have prepared the following six classes for the beta:

Taurant: An easy-to-play brawler who jumps into the fray and smashes everything to bits.
Vypress: An agile assassin who strikes quickly and disappears again.
Tinker: A troll character who uses annoying traps and gadgets to hinder, impede, and troll the enemy.
Vigilist: A strong defensive fighter who holds back opponents with shield, spear, and magic, enabling counterattacks.
Alchemancer: A ranged mage who decimates the enemy from a distance with powerful magic.
Entropist: This chunky mage pug has a flying carpet and serves as a healer and supporter.

Ark Survival Evolved: Elixir of Forgetting – Reset Engram Points

Leya Jankowski 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

All engrams in Ark Survival Evolved occupied and not satisfied? Brew the “Potion of Forgetting” and simply reset your points.

Engrams are permanent crafting recipes in Ark Survival Evolved that players learn. Engrams are unlocked by occupying them with engram points. Engram points are awarded to the survivor when leveling up.

Have you unlocked a few recipes that you are no longer satisfied with? Don’t worry: You don’t have to create a new character to solve the problem. There is a super useful recipe for that!

The Amnesia Soup: The Potion of Forgetting

Amnesia Soup: The Potion of Forgetting – What is its function?

The Amnesia Soup is also called the “Potion of Forgetting.” It is capable of resetting your skill and engram points. Depending on your level, you can redistribute your engram points.

In addition to the engram points, the statistics of the survivor are reset: health, movement, speed, weight, etc. The potion resets your character back to level 1. As you will not lose any experience points, you level back up directly to your original level. So the level you had before consuming the soup.

Recipe “Potion of Forgetting” – Ingredients for making the Amnesia Soup

To create the “Potion of Forgetting,” you need a cooking pot. Additionally, add a Water-Skin, Water-Jar, or Canteen that contains 25% water.

Recipe – Ingredients for the Potion of Forgetting:

72 x Narcotic
72 x Stimulant
20 x Rare Flower
20 x Rare Mushroom
200 x Mejoberries
24 x Cooked Prime Meat
1 x Water-Skin

Does the “Potion of Forgetting” reset engram points for my dinos?

No. The Amnesia Soup is not able to reset the engram points of dinos. You cannot force-feed the potion to your dinos. The Potion of Forgetting only works for survivors.

When does the “Potion of Forgetting” spoil?

Like all food in Ark Survival Evolved, the Potion of Forgetting will spoil after a while. This is how long the Amnesia Soup stays fresh:

In player inventory: 5 hours
In the inventory of a tamed dino: 20 hours
Preserving-Bin: 2 days
Refrigerator: 20 days

With the Potion of Forgetting, you can distribute your engram points without worries. Just make the Amnesia Soup once and enjoy.

Final Fantasy XIV: Kostenlose Trial jetzt dauerhaft spielbar – Download

Jürgen Horn 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV is one of the few remaining subscription-based online role-playing games. If you wanted to play for free, you had to settle for a limited-time trial version. This limit has now been lifted.

Final Fantasy 14 is one of the few online role-playing games that has managed to survive alongside World of Warcraft with a subscription model. Nearly all other theme park MMORPGs have now become Free2Play or Buy2Play, but Final Fantasy 14 remains resilient in the subscription business thanks to many paying customers.

If you still wanted to try the Japanese MMORPG for free, you had to make do with a severely limited trial version that expired after 14 days.

Final Fantasy 14 – Unlimited free play?

This annoying limit has now been lifted. From now on, you can roam around Eorzea with your trial version for as long as you like, and the 90-day period in which you had to register a full version to keep your progress from the demo has been abolished. No matter when you purchase a full version, your achievements from the trial version are now guaranteed to also be in the regular version.

So is Final Fantasy 14 now Free2Play? Not at all, because just like in World of Warcraft, the trial version still has limits.

For example, you cannot level above 35 and thus never reach the endgame. Also unfortunate: Your maximum amount of GIL (the in-game currency in FF14) is also limited. To prevent this feature from being exploited by bots and spammers, you cannot shout, use trade channels, send mails, create groups, or start guilds.

FF14 – Trial Version – Ideal for Casual Testing

Over time, the “Free2Play-FF14” should not be much fun, but it should be sufficient for an extensive trial period.

Also cool: If you have a subscription, you can maximize your gaming fun and unlock special items like Chocobo feathers and emotes via the linked “Invite a Friend” campaign as soon as you can convince a friend to subscribe.

Final Fantasy XIV – Download here

These changes will take effect with today’s Patch 3.56. To register and download Final Fantasy XIV in the trial version on the official site, click here.

The Division: Alle Waffen-Talente aktiv – Neuer Glitch oder neuer Fake?

Tom Rothstein 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division , a supposedly new glitch is causing a stir. This glitch is said to allow multiple talents to be active on a weapon.

Currently, a possible new glitch is the top topic in the Reddit forum. A user writes that there have been ongoing reports in recent days of players being killed incredibly quickly in the “Last Stand” mode. In a closed Facebook group, a screenshot and a video have surfaced, which are supposed to show the cause of these rapid kills: A glitch allows all talents to be available on a weapon.

The screenshot shows the gun with the talents at the upgrade station:

And the video scrolls through the weapon talents:

The video quality is not the best, which is why some users dismiss this supposed glitch as fake. And at this point, we also want to point out that one must take these “evidence” with a large grain of caution.

“This is the cause of the defeat”

In the comments, some users write that this glitch would explain a lot. They confirm that agents in Last Stand are eliminating other players in no time. Only one magazine was needed to defeat their strike team, one user complains.

However, these could also have been incidents unrelated to this supposed glitch. Maybe just one user seized the opportunity, brought out their photo editing skills, and provided an “explanation” for these reports, to gain a bit of fame on Reddit.

However: A few hours earlier, there was another post where a user complained that there were a total of six weapon talents on their Bullfrog. Something seems to be off with the talents at the moment.

In a stream today, community developer Hamish Bode stated that the team is investigating this glitch. He himself has not seen any proof of it yet. But it could also just be a UI bug.

If there are new updates on this, you will find out here. Have you noticed similar occurrences in “Last Stand”?

Overwatch: eSport league could generate as much revenue as WWE in a year

Schuhmann 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Analysts have forecasted for Blizzard’s shooter Overwatch (PC, PS4, Xbox One). The scenarios for an Overwatch League look promising.

A new report from investment firm Morgan Stanley reveals: A professional eSports league for Overwatch is a cash cow for Blizzard. And the cash cow doesn’t just produce gold once, but could generate revenue annually.

In the best case, Blizzard could earn as much money with an Overwatch League in a year as the WWE – this is the so-called “Bull Case”, the best-case scenario when everything takes off.

As much money as the WWE in the best scenario

In the best possible scenario outlined by Morgan Stanley, an Overwatch League could generate up to 720 million US dollars per year – that would be about 665 million euros. This would make the Overwatch League as lucrative as the wrestling organization WWE.

To rake in that much money, Blizzard would need to double the Overwatch League from 16 to 32 teams, and it would need to really hit big. “Major League Gaming” would really need to become the “ESPN” of eSports, as Blizzard has announced. ESPN is the big sports network in the USA – like Sport1 with us, just much, much bigger.

The numbers range from 20-720 million dollars per year – 100 million seems quite likely

The “smallest scenario”, if Blizzard doesn’t succeed with the Overwatch League, isn’t so bad either. Then Blizzard would still generate 20 million US dollars annually with the Overwatch League, according to Morgan Stanley.

These are the two extremes. A normal scenario sees the Overwatch League at around 100 million US dollars:

32 million comes from advertising and content offers in this scenario,
30 more million from sponsors.
13 million, it is believed, Blizzard could earn through ticket sales,
27 million could be generated by Blizzard through merchandise.

Morgan Stanley outlines four possible scenarios for how the league develops:

eSport goes Mainstream – everything runs perfectly, many viewers, revenue flows, the venues are full, sponsors come on board
Play but no pay – many viewers, but hardly any revenue, as no one goes to the tournaments and sponsors are hesitant
A Niche following – only hardcore gamers watch, who pay as male millennials nonetheless
It’s a fad – total flop, Overwatch turns out to be a short-lived phenomenon like rollerblades, nobody is interested in Overwatch anymore

Ark Patch v256: Update brings the first major overhaul of the interface

Leya Jankowski 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The survival MMO Ark Survival Evolved (PC) is receiving Patch v256. For the first time, the menu will be completely redesigned. Additionally, there will be new dinos and Tek technologies.

Ark Survival Evolved is getting a new Update v256 for PC. The latest version is expected on Thursday (March 30).

Ark Update v256: First major redesign of the menu

Originally, the update was planned for tomorrow. However, today there was an update from Ark’s lead designer Jeremy Stieglitz via his Twitter account.

With Patch v256, Ark’s menu is being completely redesigned. The inventory is being revised both visually and functionally. This revision caused the delay of the new patch for PC.

Stieglitz also released a small teaser for the new menu. There will be new features such as “right-click context menus” and it aims to provide better clarity overall.

New dinos in Ark with Patch v256: Equus, Leedsichthys, Ichthyornis, Iguanodon

We can also expect new wild inhabitants in Ark. These creatures will be added to the survival MMO:

Equus: A mix of a zebra and large horse. It serves the survivor as a mount and to carry loads.
Leedsichthys: A gigantic fish that can swallow humans in one gulp. The carnivore is not intelligent enough to be tamed.
Ichthyornis: Resembles a modern seagull. Once tamed, they become loyal companions to the survivor, preferring to sit on their shoulder. From time to time, they bring their owner fish.
Iguanodon: A large herbivore. The spikes on its thumbs make it an excellent farmer. It collects seeds from fruits.
Unicorn: An extremely rare mutation of the Equus.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – SAM geht allen auf den Keks

Cortyn 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The nerves of the players of Mass Effect: Andromeda are frayed. SAM is driving players to the last bit of sanity.

If you’re looking for bugs and annoying incidents in Mass Effect: Andromeda, you won’t have to search long. From wooden facial animations to missing enemies and quests that can’t be completed, the latest installment of Mass Effect has a few small problems at every turn.

However, the worst problem for the community currently is the Artificial Intelligence SAM. This very SAM is our constant companion and an integral part of Ryder, as his electronics are partly integrated into the character’s body. His job is to analyze situations at lightning speed to provide suggestions and solutions that help Ryder navigate the worlds of the Andromeda system more effectively.

If SAM would just stick to that, there wouldn’t be a problem. It becomes annoying when exploring various planets with SAM. Every little change in condition is commented on by him:

“Warning, it’s too hot here, Pathfinder!”
“Hey, Pathfinder, there are resources here!”
“Warning, it’s too cold here, Pathfinder!”

Mass Effect Andromeda Voeld Nomad — Thanks, SAM. I would hardly have noticed that it’s cold here.

It gets silly on hot worlds because SAM talks every second when driving through an area where shadows and sunlight alternate. “Hot, cold, hot, cold!” – SAM will comment on every fluctuation with precision.

Particularly frustrating is that SAM’s voice output takes priority over all other events in the game. If teammates are about to start a funny dialogue – which they will only say once throughout the entire game – then SAM can smother that dialogue with a “Pathfinder, this area can be mined for resources.”

For many players, traumatic memories of Navi from “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” return, which was permanently punished with a “Hey, Listen!” It seems that SAM is now following in those footsteps nearly 20 years later. Perhaps he will hold his tongue in one of the future patches – fans wish for an option to at least turn off the annoying AI for recurring reminders.

Cortyn says: Personally, I am most annoyed that SAM occasionally takes on the role of “Captain Obvious.” After 50 hours of gameplay, I understood that I should scan the area to investigate a murder – but it’s good that SAM reminds me of it every few seconds.

Which cryo capsules you should open first, we already revealed to you yesterday.

Destiny: Age of Triumph starts today! – Update 2.6.0, Weekly Reset

Tom Rothstein 28. March 2017 Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny, on March 28th, the launch of Age of Triumph takes place. Update 2.6.0 is coming and the Weekly Reset is happening. What time do the new contents arrive?

Update 19:19: Update 2.6.0, which brought “Age of Triumph”, is now live on PS4 and Xbox One. Initial reports indicate that it weighs approximately 860 MB. That is the download size of today’s patch. The patch notes are summarized in this article on Mein-MMO.de for you.

A significant first change: Xur will sell two exotic packages each week for 30 strange coins and 25 silver dust – each package contains 1 exotic weapon and 1 matching ornament.

Original announcement:

Today marks the last chapter of Destiny 1. Some may get sentimental, while others are already racing towards Destiny 2 with the hype train. Because yesterday, on March 27th, the first official teaser for the sequel was released. Destiny 2 is taking shape!

However, today’s Tuesday sees the release of the content update Age of Triumph. You will find the most important information for today here.

What time does Age of Triumph start?

The new contents can be played as soon as you have downloaded and installed Update 2.6.0.

This update is coming today, March 28th, around 7 PM.

Usually, Destiny updates are made available only a few minutes after the announced time. By the way, there is no maintenance: Once you have downloaded and installed 2.6.0, Age of Triumph can begin.

Around 7 PM, you will be brought back to the login screen in the game and prompted to download the update. If it takes you longer for the update to appear, you can try to manually start it with the “Check for Updates” function. At the latest by 11 PM, all players will be removed from activities to download the update.

Information about the Weekly Reset and activities

Today, at 11 AM, the new week in Destiny begins. Then the weekly reset occurs. However, some activities will be unavailable from 11 AM:

The Nightfall strike and the weekly heroic strike playlist cannot be played until the launch of 2.6.0. Attempting to start these strikes results in the error code Honeydew. As soon as you install the update in the evening, you can play these activities.

Age of Triumph introduces new rewards (Treasures of Ages) for these activities that you would not receive this week if you completed the strikes before 2.6.0. Therefore, Bungie implemented this lock.

Important Note: For the weekly Crucible playlist, Bungie cannot implement a lock. If you play a match between 11 AM and the release of 2.6.0, you will not be able to earn a Treasure of Ages from this activity until the next reset.

destiny_age_of_triumph_shadow_thief_strike_action 7 1152x648

Therefore, our tip: Wait today with the weekly activities until you have installed Update 2.6.0.

Nightfall Strike on PS4 and Xbox One

Normally, we report on the weekly reset and new tasks for the week on Tuesday mornings. Since everything changes again at 7 PM, that makes no sense at this point. However, we can already give you a glimpse of which weekly activities are planned for this evening:

Nightfall Strike – Daybreak Strike: With AoT, the Daybreak modifier in Nightfall Strike is active every four weeks. The “Daybreak” modifier is essentially the Cauldron modifier that you know from the Crucible. You unleash your light, causing your abilities (melee, grenade, super) to charge faster. That means the Nightfall Strike should be significantly easier.
By completing the Nightfall Strike, you will once again receive the Nightfall Buff, which gives you a boost on XP gains. Additionally, blue flames will surround your heads.
Weekly Story Playlist: Story missions with modifiers, categorized missions. For example, in one week only the missions on Earth and the Moon are active.
Weekly Crucible Playlist
Heroic SIVA Crisis Strike Playlist
Challenge of the Elders
Weekly Raid: Today, the Crota Raid with the 390 Light Level version starts.

Additional information on the weekly activities and what rewards you can earn can be found here. Once Age of Triumph begins, you should first march to the Speaker. He has a quest for you that guides you through the new contents.

More information about Update 2.6.0 can be found here. The complete patch notes will be published today around 7 PM. We have summarized them in this article.

Paladins: PS4 vs. Xbox One – Winner receives 46,000 Euros

Leya Jankowski 28. March 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

PS4 players will compete against Xbox players at Paladins during DreamHack Valencia 2017. A prize pool of $50,000 is at stake.

Studio Hi-Rez wants to finally clarify which console players are the better ones! PS4 or Xbox One? Blue competes against Green.

At DreamHack in Valencia (Spain), the best Paladins players will compete against each other. This year, for the first time, Paladins console players will be represented in a major eSports event. The open beta of Paladins recently launched on PS4 and Xbox One. This is set to be celebrated at DreamHack in Valencia.

Paladins’ Great Console Battle: PS4 vs. Xbox One

The event makes eSports history. Cross-platform, PlayStation players will face off against Xbox players and represent “their” console. This has not happened before in any major multiplayer shooter at an event like DreamHack. The winner will receive a prize of €46,000.

Hi-Rez Studios’ CEO Todd Harris explained that they wanted to offer early competitive players on the console an attractive reward. The big console competition is meant to provide fun and finally end the “PS4 vs. Xbox” debate.

The tournament will take place from July 13 to 15 at DreamHack Valencia 2017 in Spain.

DreamHack is the world’s largest computer festival

DreamHack originally started as a simple LAN party. Now, there are two huge events in Sweden and even more festivals, events, and competitions all across Europe and North America. The events offer a platform for eSports, internet, gaming culture, and game developers. Last year, DreamHack recorded 233,000 visitors and over 135 million viewers following the live broadcast.

In addition to the great console battle, the following games from Hi-Rez are also scheduled for tournaments:
