What is the TOTW in FIFA 17?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This is also the case in FIFA 17. Players who performed outstandingly in real football in the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.

You can draw the TOTW cards within a week from those sets that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of this is considered low. Additionally, it is possible for you to buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. The prices are usually extremely high.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – When does it start? Release times for Europe

When will Mass Effect: Andromeda be released? We have the release dates for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

The long wait is almost over, as the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda is just around the corner. After nearly 5 years, fans of BioWare’s SciFi universe finally have the opportunity to take to the bridge of a spaceship to explore an alien galaxy once again. But when does the official launch start? At what time is the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda on PC, PS4, and Xbox One?

PC, Xbox One, and PS4 Release of Mass Effect Andromeda

Mass Effect Launch Trailer

Mass Effect: Andromeda will be released simultaneously at 12:00 AM on 23.03.2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One – that is, at midnight.

A large part of the world has been playing since Tuesday (21.03.2017), as the game has already been released in America.

Already in advance, players worldwide could try out a 10-hour trial version and get a first glimpse into the story and multiplayer.

Mass Effect Andromeda Architect Remnant

Mass Effect: Andromeda is more or less a relaunch of the series, as it takes place in a completely new galaxy at a different time. Familiar alien faces, such as the Asari, Salarians, or Krogan, are still part of the experience, so you don’t feel completely alien in the new environment. As a Pathfinder, it is your task to find a new home for humanity and make the planets habitable. This is not so easy, as the planets and their inhabitants are not all friendly.

To bridge the waiting time until midnight, we have some articles for you to help you prepare even better for BioWare’s RPG:

Conan Exiles: (Nearly) everything is gone – “Gentle” server wipe is coming

In Conan Exiles, a gigantic dupe exploit ruined the game balance. Therefore, a server wipe will erase the wrongfully acquired items and resources. However, the wipe will be less brutal than initially feared.

Last week, a major dupe exploit in Conan Exiles made headlines. Due to a bug, players on the official servers duplicated thousands and thousands of materials effortlessly, completely ruining the game balance. It seemed certain: Honest players would never be able to catch up with the “dupers” with this gigantic lead. Funcom has since fixed the exploit, but the damage remains. So what to do?

ConanExiles

Server rollback to an earlier point or wipe everything and kill every progress?

Conan Exiles: Everything will be wiped except for the players!

Meanwhile, the developers at Funcom have made a decision. There will be a server wipe across all official realms. But don’t worry! Your barbarians themselves are safe. Only all your possessions, your houses, and resources will go into oblivion.

conan-exiles-1

This means you start Conan Exiles anew just as every barbarian begins their life in the wasteland. Naked and broke. Only the cross should be spared this time. Since your character progress remains, you should at least quickly have an acceptable barbarian dwelling again.

The server wipe is expected to come with the next patch later this week. The update will also include a rebalancing of weapons.


What do you think of Funcom’s approach to the dupe exploit? Would you have preferred a complete wipe or rather a rollback? Or do you find the solution of wiping only the items and not the characters to be the most sensible decision? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny: Trailer Analysis – The End of the Fakers is Near

In Destiny, we take a closer look at the teaser trailer for the sandbox update of Age of Triumph. The end of the Fatebringer seems certain.

In Year 1 of Destiny, the legendary primary weapons with elemental damage dominated the primary slot of the Guardians. These could be obtained through the raids “Glass Chamber” and “Crota’s End.” Those who went into the Nightfall strike or the raids without these weapons were to blame.

destiny-schicksalsbringer

For a long time, the best and most popular legendary hand cannon was considered the Fatebringer. It dealt Arc damage and came with strong perks such as Outlaw, Firefly, and Explosive Rounds, making it outstanding in PvE.

destiny-imago-schleife

With The Taken King, these legendary primary weapons with elemental damage were left behind. That marked the end of Fatebringer and others. However, many Guardians wanted and still want to hold onto the “Fatebringer feeling.” Therefore, they eagerly sought an Imago Loop, which rolled with Outlaw, Firefly, and Explosive Rounds – thus looking for a “Fakebringer” that only lacks the Arc damage.

The Return of Primary Weapons with Elemental Damage?

Now we know: With Age of Triumph, old raid weapons are coming back – among these, the Fatebringer has already been confirmed. In an early trailer for AoT, doubts arose about whether the Fatebringer would still possess its Arc damage in Year 3, but new footage “proves” that legendary primary weapons with Arc, Solar, or Void damage are indeed returning. At least very likely.

But which scenes “prove” that legendary primary weapons with elemental damage are returning?

In a new teaser trailer for the Age of Triumph, which we have embedded here, some raid weapons are shown in use. Particularly interesting is this screenshot:

Three weapons from the Crota raid are depicted here: In the foreground, the pulse rifle “Soul Siphon” is being fired. This already had Arc damage in Year 1 and apparently, the weapon will also retain its Arc damage with AoT. At least, the blue glowing shots strongly suggest so.

On the left, the auto rifle “Fate of the Abyss” can be seen, which will likely return with Solar damage, and on the right is the Void hand cannon “Crota’s Word”.

destiny titan

Interestingly, this screenshot also shows the Crota armor pieces with the new ornaments. In the trailer, the green glowing horns of the Titan “grow” while he shoots (around 0:14). Whether this animation was created solely for the trailer or whether these effects also occur ingame is still unknown.

destiny arkus automatikgewehr

A scene from the trailer that also raises questions:

Here is the auto rifle “Wrath of Drystan” from the King’s Fall raid in action. This normally has kinetic damage. However, in the trailer, it apparently has a new ornament – and inflicts what appears to be Arc damage.

A few days ago, Community Manager DeeJ mentioned that there would be discussions about primary weapons with elemental damage. This evening, on March 22nd, we will learn more starting at 6 PM. Then it should ultimately be decided whether the Fatebringer will indeed make a return with Arc damage and relegate the Fakebringer to the vault. Because then the Guardians will be hunting for the original once again. 

Which Raid Weapons Could Return?

In addition to the already shown weapons, the trailer also features the following weapons:

destiny schicksalsbringer

A Fatebringer with a new ornament:

destiny kein land ornament

A sniper that is presumably the No Land Beyond with a new ornament:

destiny vex mythoclast

Vex Mythoclast with a new ornament:

destiny suros regime

For a brief moment, the new ornament of the SUROS Regime is visible:

destiny drachenatem

Additionally, the Dragon Breath with the Tiger Ornament is in the picture:

From last week’s livestream, we already know that the Lord of Wolves, Necrochasm, and Malevolent Touch will receive new ornaments.

But which raid weapons can we still look forward to that could return? Here is an overview.

These are all legendary weapons from the Glass Chamber:

  • Auto rifle: Atheon’s Epilogue
  • Hand cannon: Fatebringer
  • Pulsed rifle: Praedyth’s Timepiece
  • Scout rifle: Vision of Confluence
  • Sniper rifle: Praedyth’s Revenge
  • Fusion rifle: Praetorian Foil
  • Shotgun: Guilty as Charged
  • Rocket launcher: Hezen’s Vengeance
  • Machine gun: Correction Measure
    destiny-atheon

All legendary weapons from Crota’s End:

  • Auto rifle: Abyss Defiance
  • Hand cannon: Crota’s Word
  • Pulsed rifle: Soul Siphon
  • Scout rifle: Ir Yut’s Fang
  • Sniper rifle: Black Spindle
  • Fusion rifle: Light of the Abyss
  • Shotgun: Swordbreaker
  • Rocket launcher: Crota’s Hunger
  • Machine gun: Ir Yut’s Song
    destiny-crota-überseele

Whether all these weapons will return with Age of Triumph is still unknown. We will likely know more in the near future.

Pokémon GO Event: Water Festival starts today – chance to catch Lapras!

Today the Water Festival starts in Pokémon GO, a new event. During this time you can catch certain Water-type Pokémon more frequently, as the name suggests.

In the next days, you can catch many cool monsters in Pokémon GO that will appear more frequently during the upcoming event. Niantic has announced that the Water Festival starts today and will make big waves.

You will likely find Squirtle and its friends more often in the next days, so make sure to clear up space for new monsters and have enough Poké Balls in your inventory.

First shiny Pokémon found in the game – They are here!

Water Festival with Water Pokémon

Get ready, because starting tonight at 9:00 PM German time, the Water Festival in Pokémon GO begins. During the event, you will find Magikarp, Squirtle, Croconaw, and their evolutions more frequently in the wild.

When you explore areas where Water Pokémon usually appear more often, you will also have a better chance of encountering those that were originally discovered in the Johto region. The developers also write in their announcement, “Maybe … you’ll even encounter Lapras.”

The hint from the developers about a higher chance for Lapras makes many trainers happy. An event with a higher chance for Lapras already took place in November 2016. However, that Lapras event was not worldwide, but only in the locations where a tsunami caused severe damage in 2011. At that time, players wished that such an event would also take place worldwide.

Screenshot from the Lapras event 2016


This time the event is actually worldwide and offers a higher chance for many Water-type Pokémon, not just a single one. Additionally, there is a new avatar clothing item for trainers – The Magikarp Hat!

Water Event Start and End

Pokémon GO Squirtle mob

The Water Festival in Pokémon GO starts tonight at 9:00 PM and lasts until March 29 at 9:00 PM. So hurry up if you want to fill your Pokémon collection with Water-type Pokémon.


The new update 0.59.1 in Pokémon GO brings you guaranteed special items!

Hearthstone: New Card Megafin – The Murloc Revelation

In Un’Goro, there is the most powerful Murloc from Hearthstone. Megafin knows no mercy – but there’s plenty of gurgling.

The next expansion “Journey to Un’goro” is rapidly approaching all Hearthstone fans. Blizzard is releasing more and more new cards through streamers and fan sites so that everyone can prepare for the new minions and spells before the launch.

Today’s highlight is the quest for Shamans Unite the Murlocs. Like all quests, it begins in the opening hand. The task is to summon a total of 10 Murlocs for a reward that is worth it. The giant Murloc Megafin not only has stats of 8/8 for 5 mana but also a Battlecry that brings tears to the eyes of any friend of the gurgling beings: “Fill your hand with random Murlocs.”

This card addresses one of the biggest problems of Murloc decks, namely that eventually you simply have no cards left in hand when the first rush fails.

Another Murloc is the Primalfin Lookout for 3 mana with stats of 3/2 and the Battlecry: If you already control a Murloc, discover a Murloc. The world can never have enough Murlocs.

Another legendary card for Shamans was revealed, which deals more with Elementals. Kalimos, Primal Lord costs 8 mana for 7/7 and has a powerful Battlecry: If you played an Elemental last turn, cast an Elemental Invocation. The player then has the free choice of 4 different effects:

  • Wind – Deals 3 damage to all enemy minions.
  • Earth – Fills your side of the board with 1/1 Elementals.
  • Water – Restores 12 health to your hero.
  • Fire – Deals 6 damage to the enemy hero.

Finally, a rare neutral minion was introduced, the Tol’vir Stoneshaper. With 3/5 for 4 mana, he is relatively solid, but it’s his Battlecry that makes him really strong: If you played an Elemental last turn, this minion gains Taunt and Divine Shield.

What do you think of these cards? A toast to the new Murloc Shaman? Or will this already be the new terror of sleepless nights? Grlgrlgrlgrl?


More new cards, like the cool new Priest spell, can be found in this article.

ESO Wartungsarbeiten: PS4 bekommt großen Patch

The PS4 version of The Elder Scrolls Online receives a major patch today, March 22, 2017, which fixes performance issues and makes improvements to housing.

Every Wednesday, there are maintenance works in The Elder Scrolls Online for the PS4 version, and today, March 22, 2017, a major patch has been rolled out to the megaservers.

At the time of this article, only the patch notes for the Xbox version were available. They should be identical to the PS4 version. As soon as the official patch notes for the PS4 update are available, we will update it here accordingly. The patch was 12 gigabytes on Xbox; typically, it should be slightly smaller on PS4.

Meanwhile, the maintenance work has been completed, and the official patch notes for the PS4 version are available. They are – as expected – identical to those of the Xbox version. However, the size of the PS4 update is only 6.2 gigabytes, and the patch is called “v 1.22”.

The Elder Scrolls Online – Improvements to the Thieves Guild and the Base Game

The current patch fixes performance issues and bugs in housing and master writs. You can now more easily loot furnishing wax for housing (it now drops from insects and can be found in crates and urns) and the luxury vendor Zanil Theran is now more frequently present.

Additionally, there are adjustments for the DLC “Thieves Guild”. The quests “What Was Lost” and “Lonely Escape” were still plagued by bugs that prevented you from receiving quest-relevant documents from chests. That should now work. Furthermore, you should no longer be affected by certain effects in the raid “The Depths of Lorkhaj” after defeating the relevant bosses.

The Elder Scrolls Online Anniversary

Among other things, the following changes have been made in the base game:

  • Dogs no longer bark as often as they did since the release of Homestead
  • Nixad companions are screeching again
  • Diverse interface bugs have been fixed that prevented items from displaying with merchants or in the shop
  • Treasure chests can now contain paintings for housing
  • Item set bugs have been fixed
  • Some faulty housing items can now be crafted correctly
  • A bug that made you invulnerable after resurrection is now fixed
  • Diverse bug fixes for quests and in dungeons

For Honor: Hohe Stahl-Preise sind Absicht – Ubisoft zur Stahl-Kritik

In For Honor, Ubisoft responds to criticism about steel prices. Players are not supposed to unlock everything.

Since the launch of For Honor, the in-game currency steel has been criticized. The steel prices for emotes, ornaments, executions, effects, or outfits are considered too high, while the steel gain after matches is too low. This frustrates many players.

For-Honor-Orochi-Trailer-2

Just a few days ago, a Reddit post caused a stir in which a community member calculated: It takes over 2.5 years to unlock all current game content. Assuming you earn 1200 steel every day. Alternatively, all items can be purchased for 732 euros. The criticism of the steel prices has flared up again, and some even speak of “racketeering.” Now Ubisoft responds to this.

Everything works as intended, says Ubisoft

Yesterday, community developer Emile Gauthier and game director Damien Kieken addressed the accusations. According to Kieken, everything works as intended. The game design of For Honor is set up so that players cannot and should not unlock everything. It was never the intention for players to have access to everything.

He compares For Honor in this regard to World of Warcraft or MOBAs: They also do not try to unlock all content for all heroes. For Ubisoft’s melee game, they expected players to focus on one to three characters, for which they can then collect the items they like.

for-honor-walküre

According to Kieken, this expectation is also met: Current data shows that most players only focus on one hero class. Only a few have more than three favorite heroes.

Cosmetic items only become interesting in the endgame

The developers continue to emphasize that cosmetics are intended as end-game content. This is also supported by the data: Most players level up their heroes and bring them to the maximum gear level of 108 first. Only then do cosmetic items become interesting.

for-honor-kampf-alle

According to Kieken, they could have also reduced these cosmetic contents – making it possible to unlock all content for all heroes – but they wanted to give players a variety of items for character customization and individualization. The underlying idea is similar to a clothing store. You don’t buy all the T-shirts at once, just the ones you like.

New outfits are on the way

It has also been confirmed that new cosmetic items are already on the way. Fresh elite outfits are expected to make their way into the game this week. Since new content in For Honor always comes on Thursdays, we expect them to go live tomorrow, on March 23rd.

In a few weeks, the new season in For Honor will start. In addition to new maps and heroes, there will also be additional equipment and rare items with stars.

What do you think of these statements from Ubisoft?

Pokémon GO: That’s why trading comes to the game so late

Niantic has now stated the reasons why trading will be activated so late in Pokémon GO.

Trainers have been waiting for the trading function since the game’s release in the summer of 2016. Back then, one wondered how Niantic could release a new interactive Pokémon title without building in a trading option?

Niantic are the developers of the augmented reality hit Pokémon GO and have now cited reasons for the delayed activation of trading in the game.

Pokémon GO Spoofers are to Blame

During the Animation of Display Convention (AOD), David Hollin spoke about highlights and milestones of Pokémon GO. He also talked about changes that will come to the game in the future.

Hollin himself started at Niantic in April 2015 and works there as a designer/technical artist. He had the idea for the AR mode that can be used in Pokémon GO to catch Pokémon.

Pokémon GO

Currently, work is being done on the trading function, explains Hollin. The developers are taking their time to release the feature. He cited bots and spoofers as the reasons why the trading function has not yet been released. His words on this: “If you think bots and spoofers are bad now…”.

He implies that more users of these illegal services would exist if the trading function were already integrated into the game. They could exploit the trading feature and trade with trainers around the world or catch every important Pokémon, creating an unfair competitive edge in trading.

Furthermore, he would prefer the trade function to be active only when the respective trading partners are really next to each other. Similar to how it was in the “good old days” with Gameboys.

He did say, however, that he “would prefer” this, suggesting that Niantic is currently exploring other options for how trading could work.

Hollin did not mention a specific release date for the trading function in Pokémon GO.

Only at the end of a Season are they converted to non-seasonal characters and share their equipment, gold collections, and progress with your other characters.

If you want to start over with friends and collect all equipment again, a Season is a great option.

Create a seasonal character

Diablo 3 Character PS4

To create a seasonal character, you must be logged into PlayStation Network or Xbox Live. Then, activate “Seasonal Hero” – this option is always available during a season. Now select your class and off you go!

If you do not want to create a new character for the season, you can choose the Reincarnation option on an existing character. This character will be transformed into a seasonal character and set to level 1. All equipment, Paragon points, properties from Kanai’s Cube, gold, and so on will only be available at the end of the season.

The Seasonal Journey on PS4 and Xbox One

The seasonal journey refers to a combination of various challenges that are only available to seasonal heroes.

Diablo 3 Haedrig's Gift Season 10

If you complete the three stages of the seasonal journey, you will have a complete set for your class in hand. However, there is only one complete set per season, so you should carefully consider which hero you will open the gifts with.

GTA 5 Online: Update brings Hijak Ruston and special vehicles in the Creator

In GTA 5 Online, the new sports car Hijak Ruston is now available to you. We show you what this carbon fury can do!

As usual, Rockstar Games provides us with new content for the online mode of Grand Theft Auto V. This time, there is the new sports car Hijak Ruston, which is particularly lightweight. Although it lacks some safety features, it looks strikingly elegant.

In addition, the Stunt Race Creator now includes special vehicles that expand your options when creating such races.

Hijak Ruston – Price and Tuning

GTA 5 Online Hijak Ruston2

The Hijak Ruston has been reduced to the essentials by the developers. It is a compact lightweight with an extremely flat design. If you like to sit close to the asphalt in your car, the elegant Ruston might be the right car for you.

The price of the Hijak Ruston should appeal to many players, as it is far from the million prices of typical new cars. The car is now in stock at Legendary Motorsports and costs you only 430,000 GTA$.

Of course, you can customize the sleek racer to your own wishes and ideas. In the video by Almighty Gamer, the tuning options of the Hijak Ruston are presented to you.

TERA: Player boom for the MMORPG after Steam launch

TERA, the action-packed online role-playing game from Bluehole Studios, was successfully re-released on Steam in January. This seems to have benefited the game, as according to statements from the local publisher Gameforge, the player numbers have permanently increased.

TERA has been on the market for 5 years and has experienced some ups and downs. This includes a copyright dispute with the Lineage developers at NCSoft and an unpleasant back-and-forth regarding the Steam version. This was successfully distributed by the US publisher of the game – En Masse – until the European publisher Gameforge and the Russian counterpart Destiny Development intervened, as they each wanted to offer their own clients on Steam.

https://youtu.be/t50uGrGSop8

TERA – Successful on Steam

As the US version was unusually successful on Steam and at one point even became the most popular MMO on Valve’s distribution platform, Gameforge seemed keen to follow suit. Therefore, on January 31, 2017, finally the Steam launch of the Gameforge version of TERA took place. This was also successful and managed to attract many new players.

tera-lunar

According to Gameforge, however, these were not just one-hit wonders. Rather, numerous players are still loyal to TERA, and the player count has permanently increased by 50 percent.

Tera has consistently remained among the top 30 most popular free-to-play games on Steam and has received predominantly positive reviews, according to Gameforge. So, it is a good time for TERA players.

TERA – New Content – Moon Dancer and Console Version

Especially since the developers continue to provide significant content updates, such as the “gleftastical” Moon Dancer as a new class, which is already coming in April and for which you can already reserve a name.

Tera Castanic Sexy

In addition, TERA is expected to be released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Guide – This is how crafting works

Crafting items in Mass Effect: Andromeda is complex. We tell you how it works in our Mass Effect: Andromeda Crafting Guide.

The game world of Mass Effect: Andromeda is packed with tasks to complete. One can easily lose sight of the fact that weapons and equipment can also be crafted in ME:A. Those who completely neglect crafting will encounter problems with enemies sooner or later – at least on higher difficulty levels. We clearly explain in this article how crafting works in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Crafting weapons, equipment, and augmentations is divided into 2 broad steps: Research and Development.

Step 1: Research

Before weapons, armors, and augmentations can be crafted, they must first be researched. You can view already unlocked “ideas” in the “Research” window at a research station, such as on the Tempest (see screenshot).

Mass Effect Andromeda Crafting Research Center
The crafting station on the Tempest is always available – there are also others in the game world.

For research, you need research data from the respective faction. Weapons and equipment from the Milky Way require research points from the Milky Way – the same applies to all recipes from the Heleus Cluster and the Remnant. You obtain this research data by scanning in the game world when you discover foreign technologies, scan defeated enemies, complete missions, or through a perk of the Andromeda Initiative.

Mass Effect Andromeda Crafting N7 Eagle

Select a weapon or equipment that you want to research – in this example, the N7 Eagle Pistol. Since my Ryder already has a higher level, the pistol at Rank 1 is no longer sufficient, so I directly research up to Rank 5. Each time, the costs of research data increase, while the weapon becomes stronger as it simultaneously loses weight and gains accuracy.

Step 2: Development

Once the research on the desired item is completed, you can switch to the “Development” menu. Here you see all available blueprints listed that you have already unlocked. Search in the list for the researched weapon (in this example, the “N7 Eagle Pistol”) and ensure that you have selected the correct level – you can recognize this, as with research, by the Roman numerals.

Directly under the weapon, the necessary resources required to craft the weapon are displayed. By pressing the X key (PC version), you receive more detailed information about the resources.

Mass Effect Andromeda Crafting N7 Eagle Development

The necessary resources can be found in ME:A at various locations. You can either collect them while exploring a planet, drill with the Nomad, purchase them from traders, or obtain them through unlocked perks of the Andromeda Initiative. It is also possible to dismantle unwanted weapons in your inventory to gain additional resources.

Once you have the resources, you can develop the weapon and equip it with augmentations. Each weapon has different slots, identifiable by the hexagons directly under the necessary resources.

In the case of the N7 Eagle Pistol, there are 4 slots. Augmentations can be integrated into a weapon to improve or change its characteristics. The selection is vast: Do you want your weapon to fire seeking plasma instead of a bullet? Should the weapon enhance your biotic powers? Or should the weapon have infinite ammunition by simply consuming a portion of your health points?

Augmentations are important, as they make the weapons better than those you can find in the wild. However, they are not strictly necessary.

Mass Effect Andromeda Crafting N7 Eagle Augmentations
Augmentations significantly enhance your equipment – sometimes even with negative consequences.

Once you have selected all augmentations, confirm the process. Bang! The new weapon is now in your inventory and can be equipped in the “Loadout” before starting the next mission.

One last tip: Especially at the beginning of the game, one has little research data. Concentrate on a few weapons and armors and do not research “wildly” – the data is not enough for that, and you will only get mediocre equipment.

Overwatch could one day get a map editor

Who wouldn’t want to create their own maps in Overwatch ? That might be possible someday.

Overwatch is undoubtedly one of the most successful shooters, but it still has some flaws that particularly annoy fans. Many shooters come with a map editor built in, allowing dedicated players to create their own maps.

By now, Overwatch has a server browser that lets fans set their own rules. Now there has been a question in the forum about when, – and if at all – a map editor is planned.

Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch, responded (as often) quickly to this:

Overwatch Route 66 Map

“We are very open to the release of a map editor for Overwatch. But because Overwatch was created with a brand new engine, this is not a small matter or something that could happen soon. We have noted this in our long-term plan and strongly believe in player-created content. But there are still many challenges and it is still a long way before we can make our editor public.”

With this, fans have received an answer, but it likely doesn’t make anyone truly happy. Because when Blizzard says “not anytime soon,” it is a bit further away than “Soon” – whether it will happen in this decade remains to be seen.

How exactly such a map editor could look is also still questionable, as many of the objects used by Blizzard on the maps are unique or a fixed part of the environment. Whether it can simply be “extracted” is doubtful. Some objects also do not have textures on all sides – like houses, as they are never seen from above. It would thus require a lot of post-processing to release at least a “simple” editor.


Just yesterday, the patch 1.9 with Orisa was released in Overwatch – here are the patch notes for it.

Destiny: The Summit ends next week – PvP loot rewards for everyone!

In Destiny, the “Age of Triumph” marks the end of one of the longest questlines in the game: The path to the mountaintop.

“The Mountaintop” is the final step of an elaborate Crucible questline that many PvP non-enthusiasts have never completed. When the “Year 2” Triumph moments in Destiny went live, it came back into focus and many Guardians tackled the rocky climb to the mountaintop. Because the mountaintop was a triumph moment that they wanted to check off in their triumphs record.

“The Mountaintop” begins with Lord Shaxx in the quest “Forged in the Crucible.” This is followed by 7 more quest steps that take you all across the Crucible and require quite a bit of effort.

destiny_rise_of_iron_new_crucible_maps_pvp_skyline

The individual tasks are not all that difficult, but they require a lot of endurance from you. Anyone who generally plays little PvP eventually gave up on this quest. You can read all quest steps to the mountaintop here.

Age of Triumph removes the mountaintop

Once you have completed the eight quest steps and are at Crucible rank 3, Lord Shaxx offers you weekly Crucible bounties. Here you must regularly show your skills in a specific PvP mode, and in the end, there are tasty rewards.

Those who could or wanted to never complete the mountaintop do not have access to these bounties. This is set to change with Age of Triumph.

destiny_rise_of_iron_new_crucible_maps_pvp_skyline

As Bungie recently announced, “The Mountaintop” will be discontinued with the release of the Age of Triumph. After that, it can no longer be fully completed. If you are in the middle of a quest step, you can still complete it after March 28, but no further steps will follow.

It is important to note:

  • In order to receive weekly Crucible bounties, the completion of the mountaintop is no longer necessary with Age of Triumph.
  • Once this questline is discontinued, the legendary “The Hothead” rocket launcher will no longer be available.

Lord Shaxx brings two bounties with AoT

Lord Shaxx brings two weekly bounties with Age of Triumph that will offer rewards at Nightfall level. “Generosity” is a motto at AoT, so you can get all the items you have been wanting for months before Destiny 2.

In addition to these innovations, there are further changes to the Crucible: With AoT, there will be fewer PvP playlists, but more bounties will be added – including a Hand Cannon bounty that can contain Eyasluna. All info in the link.

What do you think about the discontinuation of The Mountaintop?

General Changes in 2.5.0 – PS4 1.18

The general changes in patch 2.5.0 include two new features: The armor stash and the storage of crafting materials.

The Armor Stash in Diablo 3 – How does it work?

  • Players can now save up to five different builds per character in the armor stash.
  • This feature can be found in the town of each act.
  • When you save a build, the game creates a snapshot of the equipment, socketed gems, active and passive skills, and properties from Kanai’s Cube.
  • When equipping a saved build, items swap places between character and storage.

Storing Crafting Materials

  • Crafting materials that you receive as loot from enemies or through salvaging now find a place in a new section of your inventory. This takes up less space in your loot bag. You can access the materials via a button on your inventory.
Diablo 3 Crafting Items Overview

Class Changes

Crusader

  • Glorious Shield
  • The rune Divine Judgment has been revised so that its effect also applies to enemies who are immune to CC.

Barbarian

  • Seismic Slam
  • The rune Rumbling has been revised. It now consumes all fury to increase the damage-over-time effect by 15% weapon damage per fury point consumed.

Fixed Errors

Demon Hunter

  • Piercing – Ricochet
    • An error was fixed that caused the second jump granted by this rune to sometimes fail when enemies were very close together.

Items – Primal Ancients

Diablo 3 Ancient Ones

Ancient items are intended for players who want to perfect their gear. Legendary and set items have a chance to roll as Ancient items. These items are significantly rarer than Primal items and have perfect stats on all affixes including the legendary ability of the item.

Ancient items only have a chance to drop after you have completed a Greater Nephalem Rift level 70 solo with your account. This requirement only needs to be fulfilled once per game mode (Hardcore or Non-Hardcore and Season or Non-Season). This requirement will be needed again with the start of each new season. Once this requirement is fulfilled, all characters in that game mode can benefit from it.

The stats of the items automatically adjust to your class with which you receive the item.

  • Ancient items are disenchanted into 15 Forgotten Souls
  • Primal items are disenchanted into 3 Forgotten Souls.

Further changes to items such as the Inna’s set of the Monk or the Zunimassa’s set of the Witch Doctor can be found in the official patch notes. Here’s the link to the official English patch notes for Diablo 3 on Battle.net

Adventure Mode

The requirements for participating in public games at certain difficulties have been changed from the current Paragon level to the highest completion of a Greater Nephalem Rift.

  • Qual I – No Requirement
  • Qual VII – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 30
  • Qual VIII – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 35
  • Qual IX – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 40
  • Qual X – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 45
  • Qual XI – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 50
  • Qual XII – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 55
  • Qual XIII – Greater Nephalem Rift Solo Level 60
  • These requirements only apply to PC/Mac players
Diablo 3 Barbar Title
Source: Battle.net – Fan Art

Bonus Acts have been removed:

  • With this change, completing five bounties now grants you a Great Horadric Chest.
  • These chests contain the total amount of loot and materials that were previously obtained from the two different chests. This way, you can freely decide which bounties you want to do without missing out on bonus loot.

Quality of Life Improvement

  • You can now allocate 100 Paragon points at once when you hold down the CTRL key and left-click.

Additionally, there are further changes to set dungeons that you can read about in the official patch notes. Here’s the link to the official English patch notes for Diablo 3 on Battle.net

Pokémon GO: Update 0.59.1 Patch Notes – Guaranteed Evolution Items

The new Pokémon GO update 0.59.1 is now being activated. With this patch, you will receive the coveted special items as a guaranteed reward in Pokémon GO.

The developers of Pokémon GO have created a new update that guarantees you the evolution items in the game. The update 0.59.1 for Android and 1.29.1 for iOS is currently rolling out. This means that the game will be released gradually for different regions of the world.

An exact release date for patch 0.59.1 in Germany has not yet been set. It is expected to be available in our app stores in a few hours.

Patch notes 0.59.1 Android / 1.29.1 iOS

The new patch should please many trainers who are looking for evolution items. In recent weeks, there have been many speculations about how the distribution of special items is connected. In the latest theory, trainers suspect that these items are distributed at certain times. But now the developers of Pokémon GO are showing some heart and guarantee you one random special item per week if you play Pokémon GO diligently every day.

  • You will receive a randomly chosen evolution item on your 7-day streak at PokéStops. This means that if you have received the “First PokéStop of the Day” bonus for seven consecutive days, you will receive a random special item as a reward on the 7th day.
  • Minor text corrections.
    Pokemon GO Evolution Stones Title

In the past, trainers have negatively noted that the distribution of these evolution items seemed rather random. Some trainers currently have ten or more of these special items in their inventory, while others have yet to receive any. It is encouraging that one of these coveted items is guaranteed if you visit a PokéStop for seven days in a row.

These items are popular because certain Pokémon can only evolve with the help of these items. One example is Porygon, which evolves into Porygon2 with an Up-Grade.
