Battlefield 1: DLC “They Shall not Pass” – Release for everyone today

Players of Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) can look forward to the DLC “They Shall not Pass,” which introduces the French Army and new maps to the game.

The paid They Shall not Pass expansion was activated two weeks ago. Until today, only players with a Premium Pass could participate in this early access. Starting today, non-Premium players can also try out the new content and get a feel for the maps, weapons, and other content.

They Shall not Pass – When is it released? At what time?

Battlefield 1 Soldier France

Players with a Premium Pass had access to the content of They Shall not Pass starting March 14. Two weeks later, today, the DLC is supposed to be activated for all players who purchased it but do not own a Premium Pass.

The developers have not yet provided a specific time when the expansion will be activated today. For Premium players, the content was made available on March 14 starting at 10:00 AM. One can expect a release throughout the day.

As soon as we have concrete times, we will update this article. They Shall not Pass is now available for all players

  • The new Elite class is the Trench Fighter, equipped with a powerful club.
  • The new maps are named Verdun Heights, Fort de Vaux, Soissons, and Bruch, each having its own charm, characterized by red poppy fields or underground labyrinths.

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

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.

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.

Ark Patch v256: New Tek Structures

The new update will expand the Tek technologies:

  • New structure and mechanics: Tek underwater bases
  • New structure: Tek teleporter
  • New structure: Tek mosa saddle

Ark Patch v256: More Updates from the Patch Notes

  • Aquatic and amphibious creatures can become pregnant
  • 1 x new hairstyle, 1 x new beard
  • 20 x new explorer notes
  • Nerf flying dinosaurs

When will the new ARK update for the inventory come to PS4, Xbox One?

It is currently unclear when the patch will be released on PS4 and Xbox One. It could take about two to three weeks. On PS4, the ARK patch would have version number 1.17 or 1.18 – depending on whether another patch is released by then.

Additionally: Aquatic and amphibious creatures can become pregnant starting with Patch v256.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – SAM geht allen auf den Keks

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.”

Mass Effect Andromeda SAM

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.

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

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.
    destiny_age_of_triumph_vault_of_glass_heroic 3 1152x648

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.

destiny-hüter

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:

destiny-hüter-age

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.
    destiny blue flames
  • 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

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:

Hearthstone: Free Gold and Cards as Login Reward

Hearthstone offers some rewards to players. However, you need to log into the game regularly.

In a few days, the next expansion of Hearthstone will be released. “Journey to Un’goro” ends the Year of the Kraken and kicks off the Year of the Mammoth. For Hearthstone players, this means that all expansions from the previous year will disappear from the rotation, and only the new expansions and those from the Year of the Kraken can be used in the “Standard” game mode.

Hearthstone Year of Mammoth

To celebrate the change of the years, the developers are granting players some special rewards when they log in every day. These login rewards include gold, Arcane Dust, card packs, and even a golden card. The login rewards are only available on a few days and only for one day – those who miss the login also miss the associated reward.

The following rewards can be claimed:

DateReward
March 2950 gold
March 30Card pack “Streets of Gadgetzan”
March 31100 Arcane Dust
April 1Card pack “Whispers of the Old Gods”
April 2Card pack from “Journey to Un’Goro”
April 3 50 gold
April 4 Card pack “Journey to Un’Goro”
April 5 

The login rewards reset at the same time as the quests – around midnight.

Overall, all rewards are likely to provide players with some cards. If you can’t use the cards, you can simply disenchant them for Arcane Dust to craft desired cards from the new expansion. In any case, players who check into the game daily will benefit.

It is questionable whether Blizzard will repeat such login rewards in the future. In any case, the necessary technology is now part of the game, which at least gives hope that there will be more gifts for players on special occasions that will encourage them to log in again.


The costs for card packs are rising in Europe, by the way – prices are experiencing a hefty jump.

Pre-order Destiny 2 PC – Gamestop apparently offers Cayde-6 as a bonus

A German Twitter user has apparently pre-ordered Destiny 2 on PC. This is causing a stir on social media.

This afternoon, a picture from a German user circulated on reddit. @Snowy tweeted that he had pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition for Destiny 2.

In “McMedia” in Hanover, he was able to pre-order the Destiny 2 version: he paid 110€ for a Destiny 2 Limited Edition PC.

Snowy tweeted further: GameStop also offers a “Limited Edition” for Destiny 2, which he has pre-ordered. He drove off after hearing from streamers that they could already pre-order Destiny 2 in Cologne.

Destiny 2 is scheduled in GameStop’s system for September 17 – but that is just a placeholder, it could come out anytime between September 1 and September 17 in Germany, he learned.

The news spread rapidly. Some of the biggest Destiny streamers like Gothalion spread the word. Videos were also made and published immediately.

The news also reached the heart of the English-speaking Destiny community, the subreddit for Destiny on reddit.

A “cached” website from GameStop Germany was also found, which already offers Destiny 2 for PC – with a placeholder graphic. The offer has since been removed.

Furthermore, Snowy suggests the possibility that a PS Pro bundle for Destiny 2 could be offered.

At Media Markt, you can pre-order Destiny 2 starting in April – probably

Also interesting: In response to inquiries, the Media Markt account tweeted that one should reach out again on Monday regarding any questions about Destiny 2.

Update Monday March 27, 11:18: Media Markt has contacted again. Pre-orders for Destiny 2 are not possible. Maybe starting in April. But that is not certain, it is said.

More comes from Italy

A leak from Italy aligns with the German information. The Italian website leganetwork.it apparently had information about what might be included in this “Limited Edition,” which @snowy describes.

In response to inquiries from Activision, the site took down the information. There should be a Cayde-6 action figure as a bonus included in the edition that GameStop is selling.

That Nathan Fillion as Cayde-6 is returning is one of the few things we know about Destiny 2.

Update March 28, 9:30: The rumors have since solidified further. The figure could be a pre-order bonus for Destiny 2 – as a special offer from the retail chain GameStop – perhaps a special edition. This image has surfaced:

Cayde-6 Statue
Xbox One Beta also leaked

Furthermore, pre-order customers should be able to access an Xbox One beta.

Whether there is any truth to it is hard to say with such unofficial social media matters. Therefore, we have also marked the news as a rumor. In any case, there is a bit of an air about it right now – with the promo poster for Destiny 2.

Destiny 2: Something is in the air

Mein MMO says: It’s hard to track such things. We know that “promo material” has already been sent – so it shouldn’t be long before Destiny 2 is officially announced. Maybe Bungie wants to wait for the release of

WoW: Legion – Alle Klassenmounts aus Patch 7.2

WoW receives a lot of class mounts with Patch 7.2. We show you the mounts of all 12 classes.

The Patch 7.2 is about to launch and will be rolled out on the live servers of World of Warcraft tomorrow, on March 29, 2017. As part of the new quests for each order campaign, there is a completely new mount for each class. We present to you a list of all mounts for the respective classes. Keep in mind that some mounts have different colors in different specializations. For example, the owl from the Priest is black in Shadow specialization, while it is white in Holy specialization.

Unlocking these mounts will take up to 11 weeks, as the respective quest lines will be unlocked gradually.

The colleagues from MMO-Champion have already extracted the mounts from the game data in advance and processed them into videos. You can find all preview videos on the following pages.

Druid

WoW Druid Mount

Druids traditionally transform into mounts themselves instead of summoning them. Accordingly, they will transform into a giant bird with different colorations depending on their specialization in Patch 7.2.

Demon Hunter

The latest class addition to World of Warcraft features an armored version of the Fel Bats. If you’ve ever missed the jump to the class hall, you were probably fished out of the air by a similar variant before.

Warlock

Hardly any quest line has remained as memorable for Warlocks as the summoning of a Dreadsteed from Xoroth. Based on this model, the new mount has been designed and will soon serve the Demon Summoners.

WoW: The patch notes for 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” are here

Blizzard has released the patch notes for Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras”. We will reveal to you what is changing in WoW.

In a few days it will be time, as Blizzard will roll out Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” for World of Warcraft this Wednesday (March 29, 2017). In advance, the developers have already published the patch notes.

Continuation of the class campaigns

WoW Legion priest holy

The class campaigns of Legion ended quite suddenly in Version 7.0, leaving a hunger for more story. These stories will continue now, and each class will receive a new chapter. As part of this new quest line, players will even be rewarded with a class-specific mount! Most specializations even have their own color variations, so everyone has a mount that corresponds to their favored playstyle.

New area: The Broken Shore

With Patch 7.2, the heroes return to the Broken Shore, where they try to stop the Legion’s advance alongside Illidan Stormrage and Khadgar. The area offers a new story and plenty of fresh world quests, as well as the faction of the Legion judges. For newcomers, it will be particularly pleasant, as the area offers nether shards that can be exchanged for strong entry-level equipment.

Flying in the Broken Isles

WoW Legion Flying

Some condemn it, others love it: Flying returns to World of Warcraft. After completing an achievement that involves grinding reputation and exploring the Broken Isles, characters can finally mount their flying mounts again. Traveling will thus be much more convenient, and the journey from one quest to the next will go (caution, pun) like a breeze.

New levels for artifact weapons

In addition to the order campaign, each artifact weapon receives a small quest line that unlocks new powers, thus providing new incentives for collecting artifact power. However, to start this quest, at least 35 points must have already been invested in the weapon. Some of the old traits can now also be upgraded up to 4 times, making even “old” abilities even more powerful.

More highlights from Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras”

  • The Obliterum Forge can now be unlocked for free
  • Class sets can now be easily sorted in transmog
  • The difficulty of all dungeons has been increased
  • Karazhan can now appear as “lower and upper” Karazhan in the dungeon finder
  • Almost all legendary items have received balance changes
Kil'Jaeden-WoW

You can find the full patch notes on the official World of Warcraft site (see sources).

WoW: Shadow Priest clears the mythic Soulshrine solo

A shadow priest in WoW didn’t want to join a group. Therefore, he cleaned the Soulshard alone.

Well-equipped groups often visit the mythical dungeons of World of Warcraft without a proper healer. Tanks can absorb so much damage that you can get through the dungeon significantly faster with 4 damage dealers, and no healer will get bored. However, if the tank is missing, it becomes more critical – or so one might think.

The YouTuber MadRez with his shadow priestess Rezebel had neither a tank nor a healer. Other damage dealers didn’t have one either, by the way. As reported by Buffed, he tackled the Soulshard alone on mythic difficulty and mastered it without major problems.

The average item level of Reebel was 902, which is already on the higher end.

As a shadow priest, such undertakings (similar to those of a death knight or demon hunter) are possible because one has a constant self-healing through Vampiric Touch. In particularly critical situations, Vampiric Embrace and Dispersion can then be activated to achieve particularly powerful healing bursts. Rezebel kept these abilities on cooldown at all times, which was probably mandatory against the bosses. However, the priest also skipped a few passages by simply consuming an Invisibility Potion – the path of least resistance.

Although Rezebel died several times, this always happened only after defeating a boss – lingering effects ultimately brought the Draenei priestess down.

Have you mastered dungeons solo in Legion? Or would such an undertaking be too exhausting for you? Or is this “once again” proof that in WoW, everything is “way too easy”?


Soon, he probably won’t succeed anymore – because mythical dungeons will become significantly harder.

Battlefield 1: Battlefest event starts in just a few days

In March, the new Battlefest starts in Battlefield 1 and invites to celebrate. Here you can see when it starts.

The next big event in Battlefield 1 is coming and is attracting players with cool content. The Battlefest will not take long to start, as the event begins this week. There will be special surprises for the players.

Battlefest March 2017

On Thursday, March 30, 2017, the next Battlefest in Battlefield 1 will begin. During the event, you can expect giveaways and special missions. Additionally, the developers have thought of some surprises, for which unfortunately no specific details are available yet.

Battlefield 1 Battlefest Title 2

Anyone who logs into Battlefield 1 now will first see the event announcement. There, the developers emphasize once again that you should definitely not miss the event.

The Battlefield team is making the last days before the event really exciting, as it is still unclear which Battlefield games will benefit from this fest. A summary of which bonuses are active on which days is also missing so far.

The last Battlefest took place in November and brought bonuses like weapon skins, a special battlepack, discounts for Battlefield and other EA titles, and cool dog tags. As soon as more details about the upcoming Battlefest are known, we will inform you.


Starting tomorrow, there will be the new They Shall Not Pass DLC for players without a premium pass.

Destiny 2 – First official teaser is here

The sequel to Destiny 2 is gaining momentum: The first official teaser is here.

destiny-2

Today, on March 27th at 7 PM, Bungie released the first official teaser for Destiny 2. It is an image they published via Twitter.

It features the Destiny logo with a large “2” behind it. In the background is the Traveler and below it the Last City, which appears to be under attack and being destroyed. Smoke is rising, and the atmosphere is dark.

We don’t have more information on this yet. This image was tweeted without comment.

The Last City is on fire? That sounds familiar.

Important note: The following images are no longer part of the official announcement!

Months ago, in the summer of 2016, there were “leaks” about Destiny 2 that turned out to be “scrapped concept art.” These images showed a similar setting to the official image now: dark colors and the Last City in flames.

destiny2-concept

We embed this scrapped concept art here again:

destiny-concept6

The design of the “2” from Destiny 2 was also revealed as part of this leak:

What might be particularly interesting: This setting of the burning Last City aligns with the setting of the “scrapped concept art.” This could mean that the concepts for new focuses and super attacks that came to light with this leak might also be accurate:

destiny-concept3
destiny-concept4

Are the Cabal attacking the Last City?

At the beginning of 2017, there was a “Mega Bloks” leak that suggested that the Cabal would attack the Last City and it would be up to the Guardians to stop this invasion. Lord Shaxx is said to play an important role. Together with him, you must eliminate the Cleavers of the Cabal’s “Red Guard.”

With the new image, it looks like this leak is becoming more likely. However, none of this is officially confirmed yet. Officially, we only have this one image from Bungie, which you see at the top of the article.

We will update here when new information becomes available.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: 11 million dollars earned in 4 days

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds launched in Early Access on Steam on March 23. During this time, it has already generated several million USD in revenue. But why is this game so popular?

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a multiplayer online shooter that originates from Brendan Greene, the legendary “PlayerUnknown.”

PlayerUnknown is known for essentially inventing the sub-genre of “battle royale” shooters by creating a mod for Arma 2. The genre has become so popular that there are numerous imitators, such as the H1Z1 spin-off King of the Kill.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – The Master at Work

Battlegrounds

After Brendan Greene could only react as a modder and wasn’t involved in the development of the games in question, he was finally allowed to join the studio Bluehole as the lead developer and create a game under his name. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is aimed primarily at the Twitch audience, emphasizing exciting action and dynamics.

In contrast to H1Z1, PUBG, according to an interview with a streamer on Polygon, “offers the gunplay of Arma 2 and H1Z1 while eliminating a large part of the bugs that otherwise hold back the genre.”

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Major Success After Just a Few Days in Early Access

PlayerUnknown’s fans seemed to have only been waiting for the early access release of the game because as soon as the game was out, it was purchased en masse and streamed on Twitch. A total of 3,600 streams took place, with more than 150,000 concurrent viewers.

The significant demand was, of course, also a financial success for the studio, as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has already generated over 11 million USD in revenue on Steam within four days of release. The figures come from developer Bluehole.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Guide: Fundorte der 8 Totem-Statuen

We show you the locations of the 8 mysterious statues that may be linked to the Yeti in Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Outside of story and side missions, there is much to discover in Ghost Recon Wildlands. The lovingly designed regions range from jungle to the snowy mountains of Inca Camina. Players explore the areas not only because of the beautiful surroundings but also because they are on the trail of a great secret.

In Ghost Recon Wildlands, eight statues have been discovered that you can interact with. However, they do not end up in your inventory after you collect them, but build themselves up in another location. Find out what these statues have to do with the Yeti in Wildlands here.

To check the connection between the Yeti and the statues and experience a treasure hunt at the same time, we show you the locations of the statues in GRW. It is recommended to fly to the spots with the helicopter and avoid fast travel. The fast travel option could reset the statues.

Location Totem Statue 1 – San Mateo

You can find the first statue in our guide in the north of San Mateo. The easiest way is to use a helicopter and head to the marked target point on the map.

Land with your helicopter on the marked mountain and keep an eye out for the small black statue standing on a ledge. In the next image, you can see the position of the statue more clearly. You should also be safe from the many enemies waiting down at the base.

Location Totem Statue 2 – Koani

In the north-west of Ghost Recon Wildlands is Koani, the next region where you can find a statue. Use your helicopter to fly to the southernmost part of the region.

Location Totem Statue 3 – Villa Verde

The next statue in GRW can be found in the north of Villa Verde. Here, it is also beneficial to use a helicopter for traveling. Fly to the spot marked on the map and land near the waterfall.

Location Totem Statue 4 – Inca Camina

You will find this statue in the Inca Camina region, right next to the shrine where the collected statues appear. This is the shrine we described in our Yeti search in Ghost Recon Wildlands. Approach the marked position on the map.

Inca Camina Location Removed

In Inca Camina, there is another statue that you will find at the other end of the region. Use your helicopter to fly to Nevado Llamiru Mountain.

Land your helicopter on the rounded rock and then climb to the spot you see in the picture. This spot is not easy to find, so you should orient yourself with the stones and rocks in the image to find the statue.

Inca Camina Location Heli 2

We found the statue first at night, but then realized that the location on the screenshot is hard to recognize. Therefore, here are two screenshots, one of which shows the desired position more clearly, even if it is without the statue.

Location Totem Statue 6 – Libertad

You can find the next statue in Ghost Recon Wildlands at the northeastern border of Libertad. Use your helicopter again to reach this waypoint in the mountains.

The statue can be found next to the landing spot in the shallow water. You have to look closely, as it is only difficult to see underneath the water surface. In our test, we found it next to a crate.

Gathering at the Shrine

After you have collected all the statues listed in this guide, many things will change at the mysterious shrine. You first saw the shrine at statue number 4 in Inca Camina. You will now find civilians who are partially praying and falling to their knees. Additionally, candles have been lit.

Shrine Gathering

How and whether this is related to the Yeti search may clarify in the coming days or weeks. Until then, we will continue to investigate further clues in this matter.

Evony advertised with breasts, was hacked – 33 million accounts affected

The browser game Evony is known for its quirky advertising campaign featuring well-placed breasts. However, the security is apparently not great.

The story about Evony dates back to October 2016, but it has only recently been picked up by the US site Massively.

Evony is a browser game that made waves around 2009 because it advertised with “breasts.” Well-built women lounged in advertising campaigns urging players: “Come play with me, MyLord” or “Save your beloved.”

Those who did so got to see a browser city-building game. Most will recognize the pattern of these games: hundreds of such games circulate online. They rely on players eventually turning to microtransactions to advance their progress, which becomes increasingly tedious over time.

Outside of the advertising campaign, there was no sight of breasts in Evony, as former players credibly assure.

Evony-2

As the site “securityaffairs” reported in October 2016, there was a hack at Evony that affected 33 million accounts.

Hackers reportedly attacked the site in June 2016 and obtained the data of 33,407,472 users. Two months later, another hack occurred: in August 2016, the data of 938,000 users was reportedly stolen.

Securityaffairs learned this from the blog “LeakedSource.” They possess a copy of this data of more than 33 million records. The data includes email addresses, passwords, IP addresses, and other information. It was easy for the hackers to decrypt the data.

Those who enjoy breasts in their games often have silly passwords

The data was then evaluated. Over 700,000 users are said to have used the password “123456”. The usual suspects, „Password“ and „qwerty“, were also popular.

Evony-Passwords
Source: Securityaffairs

Perhaps it’s due to the controversial campaign that at rank 8 the password “evildick” – the evil penis reigns.

It is not known whether Evony users were informed about this hack. You obviously don’t play the game, but you can warn one of your friends to change his password. Perhaps it’s not too late.

WoW: Legion – Alle alten Zonen neu vertont und redesignt – mit Addon!

The Forest of Elwynn in WoW with full voiceover and better story? An ambitious fan project is almost finished.

Although the old areas of World of Warcraft were brought up to date with the “Cataclysm” expansion, this update is now over 6 years old. Compared to newer zones like Suramar, the starting zones look quite outdated.

The team behind the YouTube channel BellularGaming has taken on quite a large project: a complete redesign of the old zones with interconnected stories, full voice acting of NPCs and dialogues that start in the “open field”.

What initially sounds like an unattainable pipe dream has actually made significant progress. With a total of 4 developers and 8 voice actors, the team has already addressed the story surrounding the Forest of Elwynn and is now in the final testing phase.

The most interesting thing is that this project is not about content for an illegal private server, but at its core, it is a complex interface addon.

The whole thing seems quite well thought out, and the examples given fit much more strongly into a larger story than the original quests from Blizzard could. While as a human, you slaughter kobolds in the Jasperlode mine, a small dialogue from Defias thugs runs in the background. This dialogue becomes important afterwards and is picked up in the subsequent quests.

How does it work?

Even though BellularGaming doesn’t go into the exact details, the video reveals a lot about how the addon proceeds. The original quest texts are not displayed but are replaced by the texts from their team. Particularly long texts are read aloud during the journey to the destination, so players do not have to wait long at the NPC – similar to Suramar, where Thalyssra keeps chiming in.

The project is set to be released episodically on a 6-week rhythm. It starts with Elwynn, followed by Westfall and the Redridge Mountains. Afterwards, the team hopes that enough donations come in through Patreon to also revamp more zones with multiple voice actors. Those who want to support the project can do so on the Patreon page of the “Warcraft Tales” team.

WoW Legion Suramar Husk
Bellular aimed to reach the quality of Suramar. Will they succeed?

The goal was to “reach the quality of Blizzard’s newer zones and to unify the often loose story arcs into a larger narrative”. Whether they will succeed can soon be tried by players.

Episode 1: The Forest of Elwynn will be released on April 6, 2017, in English.

Meanwhile, WoW is significantly increasing its prices for additional character services.

Bei H1Z1: King of the Kill sollt Ihr bald sehen können, auf was Ihr ballert

The battle royale shooter H1Z1: King of the Kill presents its latest build. This is meant to show players what they are actually shooting at.

H1Z1 may have been stuck in Early Access for a long time with little progress – but this mainly applies to the original H1Z1, which has been separated as a survival MMO called “Just Survive”. In good health is H1Z1: King of the Kill, the version of the MMO designed for Twitch.

H1Z1: King of the Kill is a battle royale shooter and is trending, or rather has been trending the whole time. Recently, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” has become the favorite of the masses on Twitch.

But H1Z1 is working on its issues.

H1Z1-Hit-Marker
Most players cannot tell if they hit the body or armor

Recently, numerous surveys have been sent to players, which have now been evaluated and analyzed, leading to some new steps.

Players should soon be able to better see what exactly they have hit. Through sound and graphics, players should be able to notice, even in the heat of battle, whether they hit “flesh” or an “armor part” when shooting at an opponent. Because 76% of all players could not clearly state what they hit when asked.

Most can tell if the opponent is wearing a helmet, but it’s different with body armor.

That’s why H1Z1 now has a new build on the test server where the “hit marker” is supposed to be clearer.

H1Z1-Psychopathen
Optimization and breaking vehicles

Additionally, Daybreak Games is optimizing the performance of H1Z1 – fans place great value on this according to surveys.

Moreover, players should now be able to more easily recognize when their vehicle is breaking apart with the new build. There are now various stages of “junk” that a car can reach when taking damage. This should signal to the player: It’s time to exit. That thing is about to explode.

The features are currently active on the test server and are set to be implemented into the live game H1Z1: King of the Kill soon.

Conan Exiles: Dyes – Crafting Colors and Dyeing Armors

In the barbarian MMO Conan Exiles, dyes can also be crafted since the last patch. We explain how to craft the colors and dye your clothing and armor here.

Conan Exiles

On March 23, the first major content patch for Conan Exiles was released, which brought a “soft server wipe” along with some new features. Among them was a long-awaited system for dyeing clothes and armor, allowing you to create your dream outfit or set up a unified clan uniform. But how do you get the coveted dyes?

Conan Exiles: Crafting Dyes – First, you need glass bottles!

Before the colorful fun starts, you first need a bottle to fill your color. But before you can start making the bottles, you need glass. Glass, in turn, is made from crystals that you find in caves in the center of the map and directly north of it. Two crystals yield a glass sheet in the blacksmith’s forge together with fuel.

Conan Exiles Craftsman

Next, you create a mold for glass bottles at the blacksmith station using 15 iron ingots. You only need the mold once, as it is reusable. Then place the mold along with three glass sheets and fuel in the oven to make enough bottles for your needs.

Conan Exiles: Colors and Dyes – How to Craft Dyes

Once you have enough bottles, fill them all at the well or the river/lake with water. Depending on which color you want, you will need to gather different ingredients for color pigments. The following table shows you what you need and where to find it:

Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.

We have also compiled detailed guides for the locations and crafting of sulfur and tar.

Age of Conan Raid

If you have the necessary color pigments in sufficient quantity, throw them along with the filled bottle into the braziers’ cauldron. The colors produced can then be darkened or lightened with the dyes “white” and “black”. The mentioned shades cannot be directly applied.

Conan Exiles – Dyes – How to Dye Clothes and Apply Dyes

Once you have enough colors, you just need to apply them. But how? This step is quite simple, as you just need to select the desired piece of clothing or armor in your inventory and click on “Dye”. You will find the button below the inventory window next to the options for repairing or dropping. Simply select your desired colors from the following menu, and you’ll be the perhaps most colorful barbarian in the wasteland!

The Division: Ein Guide zu 1.6 als Kurzfilm – Richtig stark!

A really good video has been released about The Division: A fan presents his guide to 1.6 in the form of a short film.

Guides and build videos for The Division are often not very entertaining. The information is delivered factually, and the interested user retrieves it and applies the newly gained insights directly in the game if possible. Nothing spectacular. There are thousands of them on YouTube.

That guide videos can also be presented in a completely different, refreshingly new format is shown by the previously unknown YouTuber Upora. A current video from him was recently shared on Reddit, which hit like a bomb and instantly gained thousands of views.

The special thing about it: The YouTuber presents the guide as a short film. According to the video description, a tactician build in 1.6 is supposed to be introduced, but basically, it’s only about weapon talents and two skills. However, a second part of this build will follow soon. Here you can watch the short film guide:

What is the video about?

In the video, an agent is being trained by a SHD instructor. He explains some of the new features in The Division 1.6 and what she needs to pay attention to now. “Skill haste” is extremely important (especially for a tactician skill build). She should:

  • focus on skill haste and enemy armor damage with the chest piece,
  • focus on enemy armor damage and damage against elites with the mask,
  • focus on enemy armor damage with the kneepads,
  • focus on skill haste and the nimble talent with the holster,
  • focus on skill haste and damage against elites with the gloves
  • and invest in skill power and the inventive talent with the backpack.
division-acr

For the armor mods, the agent should increase electronics, skill haste, and seeker mine damage.

As a weapon, an ACR (assault rifle) is used, which comes with a bonus of +22% enemy armor damage as well as the talents Destructive, Determined, and Malevolent.

division-sniper-agentin-980x500

This build aims for you to deal heavy damage in PvE with your skills “Seeker Mine” and “Sticky Bomb”. In the rest of the video, the agent conducts several experiments at the command of her instructor, where she increases damage against elites and enemy armor damage and observes how the damage output changes with skills against elite enemies. The result: The ACR with the bonus to enemy armor damage, along with Destructive and Malevolent provides strong advantages in combat against PvE enemies.

According to several comments on Reddit, this is a fantastically presented video that shows a lot of work has gone into it. The YouTuber is praised highly. However, it is also noted that this is not a particularly efficient method of conveying information. Nevertheless: A really strong video!


We present a powerful build for PvE in 1.6 here – in a compact and clear form.
