Cloud Imperium Games, the developer studio behind the space online game Star Citizen, has designed a mini basketball game in just one hour.
In space, heroes apparently also need a bit of leisure activity, and basketball seems to be perfectly suited for that. The developers at Cloud Imperium Games have designed some interesting “toys” for the online game Star Citizen in just one hour and showcase what they have created in the video series Happy Hour Gamedev. This includes a basketball game.
Star Citizen
Basketball in Star Citizen
This was created by technical designer Calix Renaeu. You can engage in sports in the hangar of the Javelin Destroyer spaceship. However, not right now, because it is not yet integrated into the Alpha of Star Citizen. Whether it will ever be is currently also uncertain. At least you will have to wait quite a while before you can throw some hoops.
The Lumberyard Engine allows for interesting experiments
In a video, the developers show how they developed and implemented this basketball game in just one hour. Additionally, they play a round of basketball to demonstrate that it actually works. This is meant to show, what is possible with the Lumberyard Engine in a very short time.

On the website of a Media Markt branch, a release date for Red Dead Redemption 2 was mentioned. Do the employees already know more than we do?
When Rockstar released the trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 in October 2016, a huge hype broke out in the gaming community. Finally, there were the first glimpses of the new part of the classic set in the Western world. However, there has not yet been an official release date for RDR2. In the trailer, players only learn that it is supposed to be sometime in the fall of 2017.
A potential “leak” from a Media Markt website is now causing unrest in the community.
Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Release – When?
The news hit RDR-2 fans out of nowhere. Suddenly, there was a release date for the multiplayer Western on a Polish Media Markt website. The game was announced for October. According to the Media Markt site, Red Dead Redemption 2 was supposed to be released on October 3, 2017.
This leak on the game’s pre-order page was found by the Polish website CD-Action.
Source: Reddit user Adakam8323
When they discovered the possible leak, they contacted Media Markt and received a reply via email from an employee stating that the retailer mentioned this date. It would not be an error on the website, but the date given to the marketing department: “I would like to inform you that our marketing department was informed by distributor of the game that its airing date is 3rd of October 2017”.
So far, so good. The “leak” is therefore official and the game is coming on October 3? No.
Command back, no official release date for RDR2
Shortly after the news was published, the PR manager of Media Markt, Wioletta Batóg, spoke up. She also wrote an email to CD-Action, which had already received a response from an employee of the store. However, she had different information for the team.
The employee of Media Markt reportedly made a mistake, according to her statement. There is not yet an official release date.
Meanwhile, the release date on the Polish Media Markt website has been changed back to the “December 31” placeholder. Most stores have given this date as a placeholder for the official delivery date, as it is only certain that the game is supposed to be released in fall 2017.
Whether the employee really made a mistake or perhaps leaked internal information remains unclear. What do you think of the potential leak?
Naked players in World of Warcraft. Enemies now scale with item level – What is the purpose of equipment then?
Blizzard has done it again. Once again, a major change from Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” did not appear in the official patch notes and Blizzard is desperately trying to put out the firestorm with a fire extinguisher.
Many players have noticed that enemies at the maximum level – that is, 110 – have become significantly stronger than they were before Patch 7.2. What was initially thought to be a mistake turned out to be a system implemented everywhere in the Broken Isles!
The catch is: When you remove equipment, the hit points of the enemies automatically and directly decrease. Even if you compare hit points with a friend who has a different item level, it becomes clear that there are now differences.
In summary, this means: Enemies at maximum level in the open world now scale with item level!
Those with better equipment now fight against stronger mobs
Ion Hazzikostas has already commented on this in the official forum and stated that this system is not a mistake. Since all outdoor content from Legion is supposed to remain relevant for a long time, they wanted to increase the difficulty of enemies. It would simply not be fun if you could “oneshot” all enemies and spend more time looting than killing foes.
However, they admit that there is likely a mistake with the current scaling. It should never be the case that removing equipment allows enemies to be defeated more quickly. The rough target of the developers, according to Hazzikostas, is the following: When the character becomes 5% stronger, the enemies should become 2-3% stronger. This way, fights would still happen faster, but you couldn’t just jump around and take down everything with one shot.
It should never be beneficial to remove equipment to progress faster. This is an obvious bug that they want to fix quickly.
Some players now fight almost naked, as this is the fastest way
The absurd situation now means that some players fight almost naked – because this way, some mobs fall the fastest.
Why such a change was not discussed in detail in the patch notes remains a mystery for now. According to the Game Director, it was definitely not the plan to hide this from the players – a system like this could not be hidden at all.
Furthermore, it remains a possibility to “completely scrap this system” if it only creates negative experiences for players. We will keep you updated as soon as something changes with the monsters.
What do you think of these changes? Is it good that Blizzard wants to keep the content relevant and make the mobs stronger? Or would you rather defeat all enemies with 1-2 abilities because you have earned the necessary equipment?
In The Division, the Invisible Glitch is back! Agents have found a new way to become invisible and “haunt” in Last Stand.
There is little good news these days about Ubisoft’s shared-world shooter The Division. Yesterday, a ominous glitch regarding weapon talents was the top topic on Reddit, and today the bad news comes in: The Invisible Glitch is back!
The Invisible Glitch made headlines last week. It has received various names from the community: The “Invisible Man Glitch”, the “Invincible Glitch”, or the “Casper Glitch”, as the agents seemed to be haunting like ghosts. The decent agents had no chance against these glitchers. Skills like the seeker mine or the turret should, however, be able to do something against the invisible players.
Invisible Glitch 2.0
Recently, Reddit and YouTube have been screaming: The Invisible Glitch is back! This was supposed to have been fixed with last week’s maintenance, but apparently new ways have been found to make agents invisible.
Step-by-step guides can already be found online, but we will not present any guide at this point. The “new” glitch is executed similarly to the “old” glitch. You just need some cover and then press the right buttons, and you can start haunting around.
The return of this glitch has already been reported in the Ubi forum. The community manager Ubi-gabelikes has also spoken up. Massive is aware of the problem and is currently investigating it.
When this glitch will be fixed is still unknown. Last week, Massive acted quickly and applied a fix directly with the next maintenance. Whether the developers will be that quick again, we will find out at the latest tomorrow.
In Destiny, you can find the Necrochasm in Year 3 with the Age of Triumph. It is tied to a quest that begins with the Husk of the Pit.
The Age of Triumph brings back an exotic auto rifle from the first year of Destiny: the Necrochasm. It was linked to a quest that primarily required one thing: luck.
Also in Year 3, the quest for the Necrochasm begins with a random drop, which is now significantly easier to trigger. This drop is the Husk of the Pit, which sparks this quest.

The Husk of the Pit is a rather unremarkable auto rifle, from which you will then shape the Necrochasm. The difficulty of the Husk of the Pit lies in finding it.
Numerous Guardians confirm that it can drop as a white engram from Ogresin PvE activities. Some report that it can also drop from Knights. It’s best to start a strike, a story mission, or the Nightfall strike where there are Hive enemies and hope for the Husk of the Pit.
Tip: In the week of March 28th, The Shadow Thief is the Nightfall strike. Right at the beginning, you encounter Ogres. Defeat them. If they don’t drop a Husk of the Pit, you can replay the start of this strike immediately. According to some users, the chance of the Husk of the Pit in the Nightfall is higher than in normal strikes.
By the way: You need a “new” Husk of the Pit. If you still have one from Year 1, it will not be useful for the new Necrochasm.
The Necrochasm Quest – The Crux of Darkness
Once you have the Husk of the Pit, it’s just a matter of diligence to obtain the Necrochasm.
Abomination of the Pit: In the first quest step, you need to upgrade the Husk of the Pit into the Eidolon Ally. For this, start Hive PvE activities and defeat either Thralls, Knights, or Witches. See what kills your Husk of the Pit requires.
The Speaker’s Knowledge: With the Eidolon Ally, you now run to the Speaker in the Tower. He gives you 25 Light particles and sends you to Eris Morn.
Secrets of the Hive: Go to Eris Morn in the Tower. She sends you to the Crota raid.
Ally of Darkness: In the Crota raid at 390 Light level, you need to cross the chasm (survive the lamp phase), defeat Crota, and defeat Omnigul in “The Will of Crota” strike.
https://youtu.be/_r0lKGA6EB0
End of the Quest: Return to Eris Morn. She gives you the Essence of the Over Soul. You now hit the Eidolon Ally with this item, turning it into the Necrochasm.
The Necrochasm in Age of Triumph
Now you have the new Necrochasm in your hands, which goes up to Light Level 400. It is an exotic auto rifle that deals Arc damage. The gun comes with a maximum rate of fire of 100 and a impact of 2:
The perk Cursed Bringer has been revised: You no longer need precision kills, but just any kills to trigger a “Cursed Thrall” explosion. Particularly useful during the lamp phase of the “Crota’s End” raid.
Additional Perks:
Cascade: Automatically reload a portion of the weapon magazine with melee kills.
Zen Moment: Damage dealt increases stability.
You have the choice between:
Adaptive Stock: Increased weapon stability
Single-point Sling: Switch weapons faster, move quicker while aiming.
Extended Mag: Reload speed is higher
With Melee Ballistics, Improved Ballistics, and Aggressive Ballistics, you can influence recoil, range, and impact.
For Final Fantasy 14, Patch 3.56 is live. This officially marks the end of the story of the current expansion Heavensward. In addition to the story finale, there are also new equipment and better loot.
Since the release of Heavensward, the first expansion of Final Fantasy 14, the story of the addon has been continued with each patch. But every story must come to an end, and with the final patch 3.56, the storyline of Heavensward will reach its deserved conclusion.
The story finale of Heavensward starts with the quest “Unheard Advice” from Alisaie in Sunstone. If you prefer raiding, you will be pleased. Alexander the Creator now has two treasure chests in the epic mode, and there are no longer any weekly restrictions for Alexander’s chests.
Also cool: you can now enter all sections of the instance via the Group Finder and don’t have to grind through it each time.
If you still don’t have enough items, you can acquire further equipment from a new vendor in Gold Saucer. This will be styled after the television series “Garo”.
PvP fans will be excited about the start of the fourth season of battles against other players. In addition to the new features mentioned here, there were various bug fixes, problem resolutions, and minor adjustments. For example, there was an increase in the drop rate for the “Demon Lanner Whistle”. You can find the complete patch notes for update 5.56 and the end of Heavensward in the references provided.
In Overwatch you only win if all players cooperate well as a team. Therefore, a particularly audacious player developed a new tactic: “Pay me something or I will ruin everything for you!”
In Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch, teamwork is especially important. Only those who work well with their teammates and choose the right heroes have a chance to win. If someone does not master their character well enough, they may ruin the victory and fun for everyone.
Mistakes happen. It’s less serious if you just had a bad day or are still new to the game.
Overwatch – “Pay up or you lose!”
Things look completely different when a player intentionally plays poorly, hindering their own team and throwing away the victory. Trolls and “funny guys” do this out of pure malice and spite, but a player on PlayStation took it to the extreme. He demanded 5 US dollars from every teammate before the game, insisting they transfer it to his PayPal account.
Otherwise, he would refuse to participate in the game. No one paid a cent to the troll.
As a result, he ruthlessly made his threat come true, choosing and blocking the tactically important healer Ana and acted like a fool by repeatedly throwing himself into enemy fire, thus giving the enemy valuable ultimate charges.
Overwatch – Blizzard does not respond
In the end, the round went, of course, down the drain and the remaining players were flabbergasted by such audacity. Therefore, the affected player “Emaias” contacted Blizzard’s customer service to hold the troll accountable. However, Blizzard shifted the responsibility for the incident to Sony, as Overwatch was played on their console.
Sony, in turn, also did not see itself as responsible and referred the case back to Blizzard. So far, nothing concrete has been heard from them on the topic. Also, a corresponding popular forum post by Emaias has yet to receive a constructive response. However, it is rather questionable that Blizzard tolerates such behavior for a long time.
What do you think about this? Have you experienced something like this, and how should one deal with such trolls? Let us know in the comments!
In the summer, the open beta of MU Legend will be launched, taking another step towards release.
The developers of MU Legend provide a reason for joy to their fan base. As it has now been announced, the action RPG will enter the open testing phase this summer. So you won’t have to wait long until the hack and slash with MMO influences is playable for you and your friends in the open beta.
MU Legend – Open Beta 2017
The open beta of MU Legend will be available in six languages, including German and English. Richard Moon from WEBZEN is looking forward to the testing phase: “Now that the Korean version has officially launched, we are glad to share this news with the global audience.” It is a significant milestone for the team to finally reach the status of open beta.
The remaining months will be used for fine-tuning the new features. These include trading NPCs, 3v3 PvP battles, and much more.
Although the start of the open beta of MU Legend is now in sight, some players are complaining about the long testing phase. In response to the complaints, the team writes that they prefer to take their time rather than rush things. “The first closed beta was only 5 months ago. We are making sure that players don’t have to wait too long and will announce more news in the coming weeks.”
New Character for the Open Beta – Soft Launch Confirmed
On the Facebook page of MU Legend, the team announces that you need to create a new character for the open beta. After that, there will be no further wipe.
This is a good reason for many players to invest more energy into the open beta, as you can keep your characters and continue playing in the released game.
Only a few hours left until the Water Festival in Pokémon GO is deactivated. Take advantage of the last moments with an increased chance of Water Pokémon!
In the last few days, you had an increased chance to catch Water Pokémon such as Totodile, Squirtle, Magikarp, or other monsters of this type in Pokémon GO. Unfortunately, this event is also time-limited. The last hours of the Water Event have now begun, and you should make good use of them if you are still missing specific Water Pokémon in your collection.
Water Event 2017 End
This special event started on March 22 and ends today, March 29 at 9:00 PM German time. So there are only a few hours left to take advantage of this event. For example, you can choose a stylish accessory for free from the shop and put it on your character. The Magikarp Hat is a real eye-catcher in the world of Pokémon GO
During the event, Shiny Pokémon also appeared for the first time. Trainers found golden Magikarp shortly after the Water Festival started. This special color indicates that it is the Shiny variant of this species, which is considered particularly rare.
For trainers, the current event is a good opportunity to increase your stock of Magikarp candies. This has two advantages:
A Magikarp requires 400 candies for its evolution, which you can farm more easily during the event.
If you evolve a Shiny Magikarp, the evolved Gyarados will also be a Shiny Pokémon.
Many trainers speculate on social media that the next event in Pokémon GO will be an Easter Event. However, there are currently no official statements from the developers, only speculations from trainers.
If there is an Easter Event in Pokémon GO, it is likely that the developers will change something about the eggs. For example, a Lucky Egg might last twice as long, or there could be enhanced rewards from eggs. As soon as there is official information from Niantic, we will, of course, inform you.
The largest update for World of Warcraft: Legion is now live. Patch 7.2 is ready for intense gaming!
Nobody really expected that Patch 7.2 for World of Warcraft would be released in the winter quarter – everyone was predicting a date in early summer. But now, after almost 8 hours of maintenance, it has already arrived on the live servers, the major Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras”.
The artifact weapons can be upgraded to new levels, but a quest line must also be completed first. This becomes accessible once the 35th point has been invested in the artifact weapon.
All players should also take another look at their legendary items, as almost every orange item has been revamped. Particularly powerful items have been slightly weakened, and the rather weaker items have received a significant buff. Overall, the balance between the legendaries should now be much better than before.
Apart from that, demon invasions have also resumed, this time on the Broken Isles. At more or less regular intervals, the zones are attacked and players must fend off demons and ultimately even capture Legion invasion ships – achievements and nice loot included.
The raid “The Tomb of Sargeras” is already present in the patch, but will not be released for a few weeks or even months. Blizzard will announce exact dates later.
In Destiny, the Crota raid “Crota’s End” has introduced two new raid challenges since the Age of Triumph. We will show you how to tackle the challenges with the Deathsinger and Crota.
The general flow of the raid Crota’s End is still like in Year 1 – you start with the lamp phase, proceed to the bridge phase, defeat the Deathsinger Ir Yut, and then Crota awaits you.
These aspects are new:
Lamp phase: You continue to run from lamp to lamp and build the bridge at the end. In the 390 raid, some adds are added, and at the end, when you build the bridge, witches can spawn.
In the bridge phase, there are now statues
Bridge phase: Here, the biggest innovation in the raid occurs. First, you split into three pairs, activate the bridge, and stand under the totems. Defeat the swordbearer. Now, one guardian crosses the bridge with the sword and kills the gatekeeper with it. New is that one of the ten new statues lights up. To proceed, all 10 statues must light up – meaning you must defeat 10 gatekeepers. Once the fourth guardian crosses the bridge, the bridge remains permanently active. Now six swords and some gatekeepers will spawn for you to hit. Once you’ve defeated them, the way is clear.
Witch phase Ir Yut: Here, the first challenge mode occurs in this raid.
Crota: Here, the second challenge mode occurs and also the innovations that the Chalice of Light is available in the 390 version, allowing you to heal, the Overmind now spawns after each damage phase (and no longer when a guardian dies), and the Balcony where the guardians once stood and shot at Crota with their Gjallarhorns is now blocked. Therefore, you will need to find another location (for example, right beside it) to force Crota to his knees.

Challenge Mode at Ir Yut – Deathsinger in Crota’s End
In short: You must defeat the Deathsinger, the witch Ir Yut, with the sword of a swordbearer.
After you have defeated all knights, witches, and shriekers, eliminate the remaining adds and knights in the Deathsinger’s room. Then exit the room. Ir Yut lets out a scream, causing new adds to spawn in the outside area. Defeat the enemies (including three ogres and the knights in the towers) so the swordbearer can spawn. Grab the sword and defeat the Deathsinger. She goes down with just one sword strike. But be careful: You must not take too long, as in this phase the witch starts her song. Then you only have 30 seconds left to defeat her.
As a reward, an emblem, a raid ornament, and a guaranteed adept weapon can drop.
Challenge Mode at Crota – Final Boss in Crota’s End
In short: You need to defeat Crota by having a different guardian as the swordbearer each time. Rotate through who hits Crota.
Crota requires 16 hits to die, and 14 hits to become enraged. If each swordbearer can land 6 hits, you will have defeated Crota after three swordbearers and successfully completed the challenge.
Important: You must not drop and then pick up the sword as a swordbearer. Otherwise, the challenge will fail.
Otherwise, remember the ogres, the knights, and the Overmind. You have relatively ample time to defeat the Overmind. Therefore, prioritize landing your hits on Crota.
The rewards here are a raid ornament, an adept weapon, and an emblem if you don’t have it yet. Armor can also drop.
Here we have a guide for the challenges in English from Schorri TV, providing you with some additional tips:

The latest hero addition in Overwatch is now fully integrated. The tank Orisa can now be used in any game mode.
About a week ago, Orisa made her debut in the digital world of Overwatch. However, with the rollout of the patch, the omnic lady was initially only available in Quick Match and Arcade. Blizzard had no major concerns regarding balance; instead, they wanted to give all players some time to get used to the new character.
No one should start a ranked game and try out a character they have never played before – that would likely ruin the fun for all other players.
Now, however, the starting signal for the ranked game mode has also been given in Overwatch. As announced via the official Overwatch Twitter account, Orisa can now also be fully utilized in Competitive Play, the ranked game mode. This marks the completion of the 24th hero’s implementation.

In Destiny 2 , the PlayStation 4 will be favored. This is indicated by a trailer. Destiny 2 players on PS4 are expected to receive exclusive game content. They are said to remain exclusive for at least one year.
Just enough seconds to announce: “You will get exclusive game content on PlayStation 4.”
Game content is to remain exclusive to PS4 players at least until fall 2018
The fine print states that this PlayStation-exclusive content is to be available only for PlayStation 4 at least until fall 2018. So exactly as long as originally with Destiny 1. Sony had secured a similar exclusivity deal there – much to the dismay of Xbox One players.
In Destiny 1, some exotic items, strikes, and PvP maps were exclusive to PS4.
Whenever “older things” became accessible to everyone, players on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 received new items via DLCs or updates that were only intended for them and not for Xbox One players.
Many questions about Destiny 2 remain open: Does this also affect the PC? What exactly is exclusive?
It is assumed that Destiny 2 will also be released for PC players. Currently, it is still unclear whether this will happen. An official statement is still missing – only numerous indications and leaks suggest it. A definitive announcement is expected on March 30 at 7:00 PM.
Whether PC players will also receive these exclusive contents for Destiny 2 is also still unclear. In The Division, for example, Xbox One had an exclusive deal, which also included PC players. In The Division, ultimately only PlayStation 4 players were disadvantaged. That was a form of “console exclusivity.” How it will be with Destiny 2 is still unknown.
Also unknown: Which contents this time, in Destiny 2, will be exclusively for PlayStation players. One can only expect that in summer.
When will there be more official information about Destiny 2?
The teaser trailer primarily builds excitement for March 30th, which is Thursday. That is when the “Worldwide Reveal Trailer” for Destiny 2 will be shown. This will happen at 7:00 PM our time.
And yes, Bungie is serious: The announcement trailer for Destiny 2 is being teased with a teaser trailer.
This is exactly how Bungie operates. Fans know the studio well. They would never announce something as significant as a new game without a prior announcement.
What does the teaser trailer for Destiny 2 tell us?
First of all, the trailer clearly shows that Cayde-6 is returning for Destiny 2. The jack-of-all-trades captured the hearts of fans in Destiny with “King of the Taken” and gave the game personality.
Furthermore, the teaser trailer shows that the Last City is apparently under attack. The attackers, who are briefly visible, can be identified as Cabal.
Everything fits perfectly with the rumors and leaks, that have been circulating for quite some time. This trailer also indicates that in Destiny 2, it seems that the initial conflict will be against the Cabal, and that the Last City itself is under attack.
The Cabal are the only race from Destiny 1 that hasn’t taken the forefront in any raid in the game yet.
And that Cayde-6 is a cool guy is evident from the trailer as well, but that was already known.

A small detail on the side: There are two differences between the German and English trailer.
In the German trailer, Cayde-6 apparently flirts with the cleaning robot in the Tower. In the English original, the flirting is absent, as Cayde only comments on the cleaning robot’s lack of reaction to his fantastic story with a “Well, you had to be there.”
By the way: The “Döner-Bude” in German sells “Ramen,” the instant soup in English. This shows that Bungie values cultural details.
The Elder Scrolls Online introduces the first stand-alone addon Morrowind, featuring a new class and battlefield arenas in PvP. Players were able to try both for the first time at PAX East 2017.
Black bears are actually harmless fuzzy creatures that just want to peacefully lick honey in their forest. But some specimens are ambitious. They make careers as fierce war bears and accompany Wardens in Morrowind, the first stand-alone expansion for ESO. There, they pose real problem and damage bears for their opponents, as they crush enemies with their thick paws.

War bears particularly enjoy smashing other players in the also new PvP battlegrounds – at least, if we go by the visitors of PAX East 2017 in America. Morrowind could indeed be extensively tested there.
Many players naturally opted for the new Warden class and its friend, the bear. In one of the three skill trees of the Warden, the ultimate ability is indeed that of the Master Pet. The bear acts as a tank and damage dealer and stays in place until it is slain.
The bear and human (Elf, Khajiit, Orc, Argonian) smashed their way through opposing teams in PvP, and many a foe met their end not at the Warden’s weapon or ice magic but under the bear’s paws. Rather, at least in one map – the Quarry at the foot of the Red Mountain – opponents can be thrown into the lava with a targeted strike.
In the video embedded above, you can see some snippets of bear action from PAX East 2017, the reactions of visitors, and a few words from ESO head Matt Firor and Creative Director Rich Lambert. Enjoy watching! Morrowind is set to release on June 6, 2017, for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
The skins for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds can be traded for credits on Steam. Due to the enormous success of the game, prices have already gone through the roof shortly after release.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a battle royale multiplayer shooter where 100 players compete for valuable resources on an ever-shrinking battlefield. In the end, only one can remain. To avoid looking like a fool as the sole survivor of such a “royal slaughter,” players can equip stylish skins and other cosmetic items like helmets or masks.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Skins – Supply and Demand on the Steam Marketplace
If you have excess skins and other cosmetic items in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, you can now sell them for real money on the Steam Marketplace. Prices are determined by supply and demand. Given the high demand due to the enormous success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds at present, prices are also correspondingly high!
Interested in examples? The trench coat from the special edition is currently worth over 90 US dollars in Steam credits. A matching scarf costs 37 dollars, exceeding the price of 29.99 euros for the entire game. By the way, Valve has no influence on these outrageous prices; the market regulates itself based on player buying behavior. However, only cosmetic items can be traded on the Steam Marketplace; weapons and other game resources remain off-limits.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – These skins are for sale
All items from Pioneer Crates, the special edition, and loot boxes are tradeable. However, the latter will receive a 7-day sales lock in the future to avoid overwhelming the market. If you want to buy skins yourself, you can find the Steam market for PUBG skins at the given link.
Major League Gaming ensures better balance in eSports tournaments for For Honor itself. They are banning the Peacekeeper hero class.
The Peacekeeper is undoubtedly one of the strongest heroes in For Honor for 1v1 duels and is therefore frequently used by players. With her quick attacks, she whirls around enemies, poisons them, and elegantly dodges enemy attack attempts.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Peacekeeper is also the first choice for many players in eSports tournaments. However, when a “Peacekeeper vs. Peacekeeper” duel follows one after another, it is not fun. Neither for the participants nor for the spectators.
As Ubisoft has not yet been able to solve this balancing issue, Major League Gaming, one of the world’s largest eSports organizers, is stepping in. Currently, a Brawl tournament is announced, in which the Peacekeeper is strictly prohibited. Participants must choose a different hero class. The tournament takes place on the PS4.
Whether and when Ubisoft will adjust the hero balance again is currently unknown. However, they should definitely patch it. Because in the “normal” live game, players have no way to simply exclude the Peacekeeper when searching for matches.
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 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.
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.
