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.
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.

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.

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
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
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
You can find the full patch notes on the official World of Warcraft site (see sources).
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”?
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.
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.
The sequel to Destiny 2 is gaining momentum: The first official teaser is here.
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.
We embed this scrapped concept art here again:
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:
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.
In Destiny we present the Videos of the Week. The Glass Chamber and a spectacular melee attack are the topics.
Every week, a monsoon of new videos from the community swirls into the Bungie studio, and every week, Community Manager Cozmo has the honorable task of presenting the favorites in the “Videos of the Week” section.
Every Guardian whose work is featured in this selection receives an in-game reward: A stylish emblem that they can proudly wear:
This week’s title “Movie of the Week” or short “MOTW” has been achieved by a video from DUBA. DUBA is no stranger to hardcore Destiny fans: He is known for the raps about all exotic weapons and all exotic armor pieces. This time, he presents a “calmer” video in which he aims to showcase the beauty of Destiny. It goes into the Glass Chamber:

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
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.
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.
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.
You can find the statue near the target marker on a prominent rock that clearly stands out from the mountain range.
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.
When you arrive at the position, face the waterfall. You will see a fallen log among the stones a few meters away from you. Take the path to the right of the waterfall that leads directly to the log and cross the log. There you will find the next totem statue.
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.
If you fly with the helicopter to the position, you can already see the shrine from the air. One of the stone positions has a statue you can interact with. Once you use it, it will move a few meters away to its place at the shrine.
Location Totem Statue 5 – Inca Camina #2
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.
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.
From this spot, you have a good view of the valley and will find the totem statue on a rock. The marker on the map should lead you directly to the statue.
Location Totem Statue 7 – Libertad
For the next statue, you need to travel to the Malca region. In the middle of this region, you will find a small lake that you will approach.
Head to the spot where the river flows into the lake. There you will find a small rock in the water on which the statue stands.
Location Totem Statue 8 – P.N. De Agua Verde
The last statue in our guide is located in the east of P.N. De Agua Verde. Land your helicopter near the water, close to the target marker.
The statue can be found next to the landing spot in the shallowwater. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In memory of games that advertise with breasts, we recommend this article:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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:

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.
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.
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!
Rift recently received a full expansion called Starfall Prophecy, which unfortunately did not meet expectations. In an open letter, the developers explain the debacle and also present the roadmap for further content.
Rift – Illness, Relocation, and Hardware Catastrophe
The developers want to apologize for all these inconveniences and provide an explanation. The reasons for the lack of quality in Starfall Prophecy include a massive hardware crash that brought the team to a standstill for days. Additionally, a particularly severe flu wave hit the studio, affecting even the most dedicated staff for days.
The team coordination came to a halt. During this time, a relocation of the studio was also necessary, and the new location posed its own challenges due to inadequate technology. All these factors cost the team significant time and energy that could have been spent on the game.
Rift – Levelable Weapons, Raids, and New Zones – What Lies Ahead!
These failures and setbacks are not the end for Rift. Rather, they plan to continue working diligently on the game in 2017, planning the following innovations and features with updates 4.1 and 4.2:
Update 4.1 will bring Eternal Weapons, which you can level up like the artifact weapons from WoW. Additionally, there will be epic quest lines.
There will be a revamp of Planar Crafting, allowing you to craft the best helmets and ranged weapons.
A new 10-man raid called “Tartaric Depths” will be introduced, along with new weekly quests.
To celebrate the 6th birthday of Rift, there will be a carnival event.
Update 4.2 will introduce a new level 70 zone called Vostigar Peaks, including an elite zone for particularly tough endgame heroes.
Additionally, there will be new daily and weekly quests, more quest lines, new zone events, and at least two new instant adventures.
Also in 4.2: New raid rifts, chronicles, and the final part of the Primalist souls.
Rift – Challenges Server with Unique Challenges
For the foreseeable future, the developers are possibly planning a special feature called “Rift Challenges.” This involves a special server that offers a completely unique set of rules for a limited time. For example, a hard-mode where all enemies hit much harder. Or an easy-mode where anyone could access previously unreachable regions and instances.
The respective rulesets are intended to be active for a limited time, and those who complete the respective challenge will receive rewards on their regular account, such as new armor sets or even new playable races. However, whether and how the challenges server will come is still unclear.
The search for the Yeti has now begun in Ghost Recon Wildlands. Eight statues are said to be related to the furry monster being sought.
Ubisoft’s tactical shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands is putting the community to the test. Mysterious things are happening in the mountainous landscape of Wildlands. Corpses with scratch marks lie on a mountain, charred bodies are found at camps. Additionally, statues can be found in various regions that can be collected.
So far, there is no clear evidence, but the community is convinced that a Yeti is hiding in the mountains of Ghost Recon Wildlands.
The Yeti doesn’t exist, does it?
So far, the Yeti in Ghost Recon Wildlands is still purely a theory and speculation. The impetus for this theory came from an outfit that can be bought in the Uplay store. It looks not just interesting, but is called Yeti Hunter:
Furthermore, players in the mountain region of GRW “Inca Camina” are making mysterious finds. There, dead hikers lie on the path with slashed clothing. In another spot, a charred body is found next to a tent. Of course, at first, the suspicion is that the Santa Blanca cartel has its hands in this. However, there’s no sign of the guys from the area of the finds.
Further clues of the Yeti?
There are no additional clues about the Yeti so far, but: There are interesting Easter eggs in Ghost Recon Wildlands that may have to do with the Yeti conspiracy. Players find statues in various regions of the vast world of Wildlands. There are presumably eight of these statues that you can collect. However, once you have collected them, they do not appear in your inventory but instead seem to simply disappear. Observant players have noticed that they do not just disappear, but reappear in another location on the map. What place could that be?
That’s right, the snow region Inca Camina, where there have already been the mysterious corpse finds. There, the statues appear outside on a kind of shrine. Once you have collected all eight statues, some civilians gather at this shrine, and some start to pray. How the statues are connected to the Yeti is the next mystery that the community wants to solve.

The dark survival MMORPG The Black Death launched in November of last year in Early Access, but it cannot be said that it has been a success. The team has taken drastic measures to revamp The Black Death.
The numbers on Steamcharts are actually a disaster for The Black Death. During “peak times,” about 30 players are currently online at the same time. Normally, only a handful are playing at the same time.
These are not good numbers for an MMORPG. The developers have realized this as well. They have now pulled the emergency brake to consider how they can still turn things around. They decided to resort to “drastic measures.”
That’s why the last update took so long to arrive.
A major update is expected to bring a revival
The team behind The Black Death has now reviewed its course and will make some major adjustments to the game with the upcoming update. This is hoped to make it more attractive for players and to bring it closer to the original vision of the developers.
Among other things, a day-night cycle is the smallest new feature, although interesting, as gameplay mechanics are planned for the future that will be tied to day and night. Additionally, the housing system will be revised to offer you even more options to set up nicely.
New areas, music, and combat
New music tracks and spawn points are also included in the update, just like a revamp of the combat system. With a new physics system, hits are more precise and hit feedback is clearer. New areas will also find their way into the game, where you can experience PvE adventures.
Places filled with bandits, victims of the plague, and wild animals are waiting to be explored, as there is plenty of valuable loot lurking there. However, you should be aware that many dangers await you there.
The major update for the MMORPG The Black Death, which is set to release on March 30, will bring these and several other things.
LoL: League of Legends’ professional eSports scene (LCS) is losing more and more viewers in Europe. Why is that, and what do “nerds” have to do with it?
Young men shyly smiling at the camera and mumbling a few sentences. This image is often presented when the top players of the LCS step in front of the camera. LCS stands for “League of Legends Championship Series” and consists of the European and North American eSports leagues in LoL.
These shy “nerds” could spell doom for the European LCS. Viewer numbers are continuing to decline in Europe. Fewer viewers mean less money and decreased support for the scene.
There are several reasons why viewer interest is decreasing. In this article, we focus on the personal aspect of the players.
Top players of the LCS are not media personalities
With YouTubers and streamers, the competition is growing. YouTubers and streamers often bring what professional LoL players lack: charisma and a casual approach to their medium. They market themselves to get their channel up and running. This is referred to as “personal branding.” Viewers come back to see the person and follow their story.
Professional players come from a different background. They are just damn good players. They have spent hours grinding to climb to the top of the leaderboard. They played until their fingers bled to perfect their techniques. And at some point, they were possibly picked up by a professional team.
During this time, they became top players, but not media personalities.
Sports thrive on their fans and stars
Now one might say: In eSports, it’s not about being a media personality, but about winning matches. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
Let’s compare it to football. What makes football great? Its fans and the love for their club, their players, and their coaches. Almost everyone will know who a Thomas Müller or a Bastian Schweinsteiger is. Players often stay with their club and in the public eye for years. They are present and make it possible to be a fan.
However, top football players receive intensive media and speech training before they step in front of a camera.
For LCS players, it’s different. They don’t receive training on how to present themselves in front of a camera and in interviews. This often leads to awkward moments that get shared on the internet.

While LoL players are thrown in front of the camera and the audience, the LCS is now getting more professional around them. The analysts and casters have a professional appearance and know how to articulate themselves. Every minute is filled with music that creates hype. Fan chants echo. Players wear jerseys with logos and sponsors. Still, the players struggle in front of the camera.
Why is “personal branding” important for the LCS?
The lack of personality hits us Europeans particularly hard.
In the West, the individual counts, and the single person is in the foreground. In Korea, for example, it’s the collective and the performance that matters. That’s why the Korean eSports scene gets along well without

With Age of Triumph come 16 new exotics in the MMO shooter Destiny. These are Adept versions of the raid primary weapons.
On 28.3., the Age of Triumph will be ushered in with the update 2.6.0. This brings not only the old raids up to endgame level with a 390 light level version but also initiates the return of numerous raid weapons.
In the first year of Destiny, the legendary raid primary weapons with elemental damage dominated the primary slots of the guardians. They are making a comeback – albeit in significantly altered form.
What you need to know about raid primary weapons in Age of Triumph:
All raid primary weapons have a standard version and an Adept version.
The standard versions are legendary and have no elemental damage. They can be obtained through the raids. In other words, Fatebringer and others can be reclaimed as legendary weapons, but they deal only kinetic damage.
The Adept versions are exotic, deal elemental damage, and have a new look. You will have to sacrifice the Exotic slot if you want to carry a solar, arc, or void primary weapon.
You can obtain the exotic raid adept weapons by mastering the challenges in the weekly featured raids. With AoT, the two old raids “The Vault of Glass” and “Crota’s End” now also have raid challenges available. This is also how you can get the ornament tokens, with which you can enhance your raid armor.
The primary weapons from the King’s Fall raid and from Wrath of the Machine also receive Adept versions that deal elemental damage – although the legendary standard versions never had elemental damage.
Overall, Age of Triumph introduces 16 new exotic raid adept weapons into the game, four for each of the four raids. What do they look like and what should one expect from them?
Fatebringer – Hand Cannon from the Vault of Glass
Fatebringer was the most talked-about weapon before AoT: A trailer showed that it no longer deals arc damage. The community was up in arms: Are the raid weapons being stripped of their elemental damage?
In a later teaser trailer, the Adept version was then seen and the guardians calmed down again – for they thought: “All is well, Fatebringer still has arc damage – and a new ornament?” It was only revealed in the last livestream for AoT that this was the Adept version.
Fatebringer was regarded as the best legendary hand cannon in Year 1 and a monster in PvE, as the perk combination of Outlaw, Firefly, and Explosive Rounds paired with arc damage was outstanding. Consequently, it was also popular among the guardians. Even in Year 3, players were looking for a “Fakebringer” – after an Imago loop that brings the Fatebringer perks.
Statistically, Fatebringer can impress. It is still unknown whether AoT will adjust the “Year 1” stats, but we expect that the raid weapons will retain their character. Fatebringer belongs to the popular Hawkmoon archetype and has an extremely high base range (even higher than Eyasluna or Palindrome!):
By the way: Update 2.6.0 will slightly reduce the base range of hand cannons. A nerf is coming for this strong weapon type.
The Super Adventure Box in Guild Wars 2 is back and takes your heroes into a bizarre Jump&Run world in pixel look. In it, you’ll face tough jumping puzzles and other challenges.
The Super Adventure Box in Guild Wars 2 is an elaborate “April Fool’s joke” that first came into the game in 2013. Back then as now, it is about entering a crazy world simulation using the namesake machine (which resembles a Game Cube), devised by the Asura tinkerer Moto (a nod to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto).
. In the box, you will then find a wacky world in pixel style with an 8-bit soundtrack and plenty of Jump’n Run.
Guild Wars 2 – Super Adventure Festival – Not for movement rejecters!
In 2016, the Super Adventure Box returns. The event is called “Super Adventure Festival”, but it is basically the same event as last year. Once again, you must rescue Princess Miya.
To that end, you will hop and fight your way through six levels in two worlds. The jumping segments are anything but easy, but at least in the “child’s play” mode, it’s still manageable. However, if you enjoy a full dose of frustration, choose the “Tough” mode for even more loot.
As every year, there will be various item skins in pixel energy field look to win. Additionally, you will receive decorations for your guild hall, which you can also transform into a kind of Super Adventure Box – provided your guild mates like pixel stuff.
The Super Adventure Festival 2017 begins on March 30 and ends on April 20. So you have plenty of time to master the difficult jumps and reap your rewards. Have fun in the Super Adventure Box!
The items from the Tomb of Sargeras in WoW are far too weak. Blizzard will be making significant adjustments to the item level.
The next update for World of Warcraft is already on the way. Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” will not only bring the new zone “Broken Shore” but also demon invasions and an increase in the difficulty of dungeons. Also included in the patch is the long-awaited raid “Tomb of Sargeras,” where some high-ranking demon lords will be confronted – at the very end stands Kil’jaeden, the right hand of Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion.
However, it will likely take several weeks before the raid is actually released, as the shore must first be conquered.
The community already has concerns about whether the raid will even be worth it. The item levels of the items there are relatively low. Many players would be better off using crafted gear or keeping the gear from the Nighthold (the “old” raid) for a long time.
The Community Manager Lore has responded to the players’ concerns and has already announced in the official forum that the tuning of the gear is not yet complete, even if the patch is already released. He stated:
“The item level of the gear is not yet final and it probably won’t be until shortly before the raid is released. To avoid confusion, I can already reveal that we will implement a small hotfix that will increase the item level of the loot from the Tomb of Sargeras by 15 points.”
After this change, the minimum item level of the new raid instance will look as follows:
LFR: 885
Normal: 900
Heroic: 915
Mythic: 930

Are you looking forward to the new raid? Or are you not done with the Nighthold yet? And what do you think about releasing patches even if parts of them are not final?
