EVE Online: A newbie takes revenge 4 years later on this nasty bully

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In EVE Online , a player took revenge on his former tormentor with a four-year delay.

EVE Online is a sci-fi MMORPG with “Emergent Gameplay,” as it’s called today. The most exciting stories aren’t programmed by the developers, but created by the players themselves, crafting their own legends. The game writes its own history.

A user named Darvo recently shared a delightful story on Reddit under the motto “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

In 2013, Darvo discovered the ultra-complex universe of EVE as a newcomer and announced it kindly in the in-game chat: “EVE beginner looking for other newbies to explore EVE together.”

The day will come when I find you and destroy you

A person with the mysteriously English-sounding name “kackpappe” contacted him. However, he was not a newbie but a scoundrel who had decided to ruin the start for as many beginners as possible in EVE Online. For months, the experienced player tyrannized the newcomers daily, until he lost interest and stopped. But the rookie Darvo vowed terrible revenge: “The day will come when I find you and take all your stuff away.”

And the day came. Darvo recounts that he then specialized in PvP over the years, started multiboxing to manage several accounts simultaneously, devoted hours and days to solo PvP, founded his own alliance, encountered enthusiastic players, and now competes with the big players.

Then he noticed that kackpappe was looking for a new corporation, which are the guilds in EVE Online. Darvo explained his plan to his friends. He changed his name in Teamspeak, convincing his old enemy to join their corp. Just as kackpappe felt secure, everyone descended upon him and destroyed him. The scoundrel had no idea what was happening to him.

EVE Online Exoplanet
Defeated player is embarrassed, wants to quit EVE

Darvo changed his name back and revealed himself as the once subjugated player. The defeated player murmured “Argh Fuck, Darvo Thellere” and then fell silent, humiliated, as he was thrown out of the corporation.

The thread where Darvo tells his story has received considerable support on Reddit.

This whole thing has consequences. The user with the mysterious name “kackpappe” is a German, meaning “kack-pappe,” and has reached out to Darvo. He can now accept his defeat and apologizes for his previous behavior.

One day later, kackpappe contacted again: Until now, he had been respected in the German community of EVE. Now everyone is talking about the story, and his reputation is completely ruined. Therefore, he will quit EVE.

League of Legends: LGBTQ Champions are coming when it fits

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Gay and lesbian characters will soon be joining League of Legends if their story fits.

It’s only a matter of time before there are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender champions in League of Legends. In an interview with Polygon, Greg Street, Design Director at RiotGames, explains that they are focused on the right story for the heroes. The team doesn’t want to force LGBT characters into the game whose lore does not match.

The sexuality must fit the character’s identity

During the interview, Polygon and Greg Street talked about the fan passions behind certain heroes in League of Legends. Parts of the large LoL fan community are still not receiving attention in the game. The Design Director was then asked if there will be champions in the game in the future whose sexuality is clearly not heterosexual.

Street responds that they owe it to the players and the world to take a step in that direction. What he doesn’t want is to say, “Okay team, the next character should definitely be a lesbian, no matter what.” – that wouldn’t produce a satisfactory result. It must fit the character’s identity from the beginning. “I’m sure we will implement that in the future. I don’t know which character it will be or when we will do it,” says Street.

Representing LGBT characters in character-based online games was already a major topic in the gaming community last year. When Blizzard made hints about the sexuality of various heroes in Overwatch, the community took notice. In a comic, Blizzard showed that Tracer is a lesbian.

While Overwatch and League of Legends are multiplayer games that tell little of the story within the game, they still provide fans outside the game many opportunities to read the background story and lore of various characters. Be it through comics, short stories, or short films that explain why champions are the way they are.

During the conversation with Polygon, Greg Street explained that he really liked Blizzard’s idea of revealing Tracer’s sexuality in this way. It’s likely that future LGBT characters will come out in a similar way, outside the game.

A matter of law as well

Games like League of Legends and Overwatch are played by gamers around the world. There are countries that have laws against what they see as “normal”. To avoid clashing with these laws, it is a good option to let storytelling happen outside the game.

“There are times when it’s worth fighting such a battle. But we have to be careful. It’s not just about a video game company going against the government of another country. Even if it might be very exciting for players, it could lead to players in a specific region losing access to the game. We don’t want to indirectly harm gamers through that,” says Street.

So we should remain surprised about the plans for future champions in League of Legends.

In World of Warcraft, lesbian night elves are part of the lore

Kingdom under Fire 2: New MMO for PS4, PC – When is the EU release?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

New information has emerged about the action MMORPG Kingdom under Fire 2. When can we expect a release of the MMORPG in Europe and Germany for PS4 and Xbox One? There is no release date yet, but a time frame is becoming clear.

At a press conference in South Korea, news about the fate of Kingdom under Fire 2 was revealed. Now the timing known as the planned release of the game in Europe and North America has been established:

  • The PlayStation 4 version of Kingdom under Fire 2 is set to enter a closed beta by the end of 2017 in South Korea, Japan, North America, and Europe.
  • A launch on PS4 is expected to follow relatively soon – the release window for the launch is between late 2017 and early 2018. The PS4 version is based on the PC version.
  • The PC and PS4 launch will take place simultaneously in Europe and North America.

Therefore, we should expect Kingdom under Fire 2 either late in 2017 or early in 2018 on both platforms, on PS4 and PC, here in Europe and Germany.

Kingdom under fire 2
What is Kingdom under Fire 2?

Kingdom under Fire 2 is a “siege MMO” where players control not only their main character but also an army of soldiers.

KuF2 has a tumultuous development history. It has been announced for various platforms for years. However, its release has been repeatedly delayed. For quite a while, only a version of KuF2 was playable in Southeast Asia, which did not exactly impress.

But now in 2017, visible progress is being made – in China, a “non-wipe” version is currently running, which is being fed with new gameplay content.

Kingdom under fire 2 Elf Ranger Combat 1

Kingdom under Fire 2 is considered the most expensive Korean MMORPG of all time with production costs of over 78 million dollars. It is being watched closely here in the West, especially because the franchise was popular on older Xbox consoles. A certain nostalgia factor surely plays a role.

Additionally, the new version promises quite a bit of potential. The popular YouTuber AngryJoe celebrated it as “his discovery” at an E3 years ago. Since then, the spark of “Kingdom under Fire 2” continues to glow, and perhaps it can ignite a real fire here in the West by late 2017 or early 2018.

PlayStation 4 is getting several new MMORPGs in 2017

For a long time, MMORPGs on the PS4 have been somewhat overlooked, with only Final Fantasy XIV being playable. In recent years, The Elder Scrolls Online and Neverwinter have joined. For 2017, PS4 ports of the action MMORPGs Tera and Skyforge have already been announced.

Update 3.3.2018: Here we have addressed the current situation regarding the Europe release of Kingdom under Fire 2:

Overwatch: “You Hanzo Main!” – Hanzo hate reaches school heights

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The negative attitude towards Overwatch’s character “Hanzo” is even spreading to schools. Is “Hanzo Main” the new “jerk”?

A game that is gradually taking over the world eventually reaches schoolyards as well. Some of you may still remember trading Pokémon cards during the breakfast break. Overwatch is currently arriving at schools more “verbally” than with cards.

A “slur” in Overwatch style, which the teacher couldn’t make sense of, is currently making the rounds on social networks and bringing many laughs.

Trouble for Overwatch insult

If parents play Overwatch, it can very well happen that children pick up one or two words and incorporate them into their vocabulary. @Abrekke83 can probably confirm this, as her daughter got in trouble at school for it.

When a classmate took Abrekke’s daughter’s pencil, she clearly disagreed. In response to the theft, she insulted her classmate with words that were intended to hit hard: She referred to him as “Hanzo Main“. When the parents found out, they could hardly stop laughing.

The teacher didn’t know what “Hanzo Main” meant, but clearly saw it as an insult

A letter from the teacher indicates that while she doesn’t know what “Hanzo Main” means, it was clearly meant as an insult. The note in the tweet was actually the 2nd attempt by the teacher to write down the “misdeed”. Initially, she wrote “Hanso-Main”, but was quickly corrected by the daughter.

For many players in the Overwatch community, the hero Hanzo  is considered a character that every beginner can handle. Anyone who declares that Hanzo is their main character, the one they play the most (thus their “Main”), often faces mockery from other players. Therefore, the term “Hanzo Main” is negatively viewed in the community.

Blizzard is pro “Hanzo Mains”, but …

There was also a response to the tweet from the Overwatch Twitter account. We are against insults and for Hanzo mains, but we like how your daughter thinks.

For Honor: 2.5 years to unlock everything? Frustration with the steel prices

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In For Honor, the new emotes are causing angry players. The heated discussion about the steel prices flares up again.

Just a few days ago, new emotes for the heroes were introduced as part of a live update new emotes for the heroes were introduced. For example, we previously saw a pony emote for the Lawbringer or an Orochi gesture where he elegantly spins his katana around. Many players thought, “Cool, I will equip my hero with this right away!”

However, the excitement was quickly dampened: For each of these new gestures, a whopping 7000 steel is required. Steel is the in-game currency in For Honor, which can be earned through gameplay or purchased for real money. And 7000 steel is a lot – 5000 steel costs 5 euros. So one might think twice about whether to invest the hard-earned currency in a gesture or in champion status and character upgrades.

for-honor-gesetzesbringer

On Reddit, players are complaining that these are exorbitant price expectations from Ubisoft. One user writes that the combat system in For Honor is really cool, but everything else is just terrible. How shockingly high the steel prices actually are is now being calculated by a user on Reddit.

2.5 years or 732 euros!

On average, it costs 91500 steel to unlock all gestures, executions, effects, outfits, and ornaments of a single hero. If this is calculated for each hero, a total of 1,098,000 steel must be earned to obtain all unlockable objects without spending real money.

for-honor-stahl

The most expensive steel bundle in the store costs 100 euros and grants you 150,000 steel. If you want to acquire the 1,098,000 steel with hard euros, you have to spend 732 euros.

According to the Redditor, it is realistic to earn about 1200 steel per day. For each completed match, you receive between 10 and 40 steel. In addition, you can earn several hundred steel daily by completing contracts. If you continue this steel farming, it will still take 77 days to have enough for just one hero. For all heroes, you will need to collect 1200 steel daily for 2.5 years.

For Honor stahl

It should be noted: These numbers only apply to the unlockable objects currently in the game. When new emotes, new ornaments, or new DLCs and heroes come, you’ll have to earn significantly more steel.

In short: It is impossible to unlock everything in For Honor just by playing. However, some players point out that this goal is not even desirable – you only want to own everything for your two or three favorite heroes. But many users point out that it is extremely frustrating to know that you can never unlock everything.

Even for just one of the new gestures, you will spend a week to obtain it. Whether it is not more sensible to invest the steel in champion status or in upgrades is something everyone must decide for themselves.

Whether Ubisoft will rethink and revise the pricing policy for steel is unknown.

What is your opinion on the steel prices?

WoW: Loot-Knigge für den LFR – Wie geht man mit Beute um?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Life in World of Warcraft is frustrating when players beg or insult you in LFR. Please follow these rules.

The LFR mode in World of Warcraft is a good opportunity to get gear. Unfortunately, there are always players who spread negative vibes. These players have become particularly noticeable since it became possible to trade gear with other players. Since then, the atmosphere in LFR is often toxic.

Because some WoW gamers believe they have a right to the loot of others or that they should receive it as a gift if they are just annoying enough.

On this topic, Reddit user octnoir has now set out guidelines that boil down to: Don’t annoy others if you want their loot.

It’s About Respect and Gratitude

With these seven rules, it should be friendlier in LFR in the future, as long as players adhere to them (which is questionable). After all, octnoir believes in the good in the WoW community and shared these rules on Reddit, which received a lot of support.

World of Warcraft Raid Loot
  1. It’s my loot, I can decide what to do with it. It’s my choice if I’d rather sell the item to a vendor or use it for a Chaos Crystal. You should be grateful if I decide to give you a piece.
  2. Starting a trade outright is rude. Saying “GIVE ME THE ITEM” is even ruder. Starting a vote kick afterward is sneaky. Harassing me in-game afterward goes too far and should result in a ban. If you see such behavior, you should report these players.
  3. When I farm my transmog pieces in LFR, that’s my business. I like my transmogs.
  4. There are many ways to get gear, and LFR is not the “only chance” for that. Mythic+ is good enough. Going through normal raids with your guild is sufficient as well. It’s surprising how many players claim they “need” certain pieces, even though there are much more efficient ways to improve their gear.
  5. Don’t roll on items that you can’t wear. Anyone rolling cloth as a DK just wants to boost their iLvl. It’s better to give it to the mage who can actually use it. Even if you won the roll, the mage can probably make much better use of it.
  6. I can decide who I want to give the gear to. No matter who wins the roll! I can still give it to a guild member if I choose to do so.
  7. Sometimes it happens that items cannot be traded. Even if you won the roll, there can be issues with distribution. It’s pointless to insult me afterward for it.

Have you experienced such stories in LFR as well? What are your stories on this unfortunate topic?

Revelation Online: Allegations of Pay2Win due to Cash Shop Treasure Maps

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Revelation Online is a Free2Play MMO where players can also purchase items in the cash shop. Since the last update, “Crusade Treasure Maps” have appeared there, which some players claim are Pay2Win.

In Revelation Online, you fight as a flying hero against various monsters, demons, and villains – or against other players in PvP. There are even epic guild wars and the siege of flying fortresses.

For optimal PvP power, you need PvP stones, which were previously Tier 4. The fact that Tier-6 stones are now obtainable through the cash shop is causing a stir in Revelation Online.

Revelation Online – Top PvP gear for real money?

Since the latest update in Revelation Online, there are various cosmetic gear and dungeon unlocks available in the cash shop, including treasure maps, a kind of RNG loot box, with which buyers can also find superior T6 PvP stones.

This is causing a lot of turmoil in the community and in the game’s forum. There, fans are making serious Pay2Win allegations.

ro_05

Players are complaining: With the loot box containing T6 stones, buyers have an advantage over those who only possess the regularly obtainable T4 stones. “Cashers” would be so clearly superior in other games.

One accusation from fans is that these cash shop items were only available in the Russian version of Revelation Online two months after the release. In the western version, they appeared just two weeks after the open beta start.

header

According to a forum user, you can also obtain the treasure maps through regular gameplay in “Ninefold Assault” and thus it is merely “Pay2Progress”. However, according to other users, the cash shop version of the maps can be purchased right away in a package.

Thus, paying customers receive the good PvP crystals much faster and in greater numbers, giving them a clear advantage over pure Free2Play players.

Pay2Win? – All or just half as bad?

According to another forum user, the developers have now nullified the effort and work of top players, as now any other player with enough money can get something better.

Revelation-Online13

Other players, in turn, are completely beside themselves and demand an immediate server rollback and the removal of the treasure maps from the shop.

Other players claim that the prices of the PvP stones have dropped rapidly in the auction house and that the whole thing would balance itself out. Moreover, it is not guaranteed that such a stone is obtained every time a treasure map is purchased. There is still a significant RNG factor.

As always, when it comes to Pay2Win allegations, the discussion is heated and the community is divided.

Overwatch PTR Patchnotes 1.10: Lucio is being changed – Less Range

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

In Overwatch, Lúcio is receiving changes on the PTR that restrict his aura range. Details can be found in the Overwatch PTR Patch Notes for 1.10.

Currently, a new patch is on the test servers of Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch. On the public PTR servers, you can try out the changes and get a glimpse of the new Lúcio. Additionally, the developers are changing competitive matches to reduce the number of “draw” outcomes. A new route for attackers is being tested on Eichenwalde.

Hero Update – Lúcio

The developers are changing Lúcio because he has often been regarded as a “must-have” due to his strong healing and speed boost. While Lúcio is still meant to have a significant impact on the game, it should be more difficult to support the entire team. Balance changes for Lúcio were already foreseeable.

For teams that fight closely together, it will remain easy to support many heroes at once. For heroes who are further apart (Widowmaker, Pharah, and so on), support should be more challenging. With the reduction of his auras, Lúcio will need to be significantly more active in the future to effectively support his allies.

Overwatch Lucio Turntable

Sound Amplifier (Mouse Click)

  • Projectile speed: 40 50
  • Secondary fire mode now also considers vertical orientation when pushing back.

Crossfade (Shift)

  • Range of songs: 30 meters 10 meters
  • A temporary graphics effect for Lúcio and his allies has been added to indicate the radius of this ability.
  • Healing boost: Healing per second has been increased by 50% (This also applies to his ability “Amp It Up”)

Sound Barrier (Q)

  • Range: 30 meters 20 meters

Wallride

  • Lúcio now moves 30% faster during wallride.
  • He now receives a speed boost when pushing off a wall.

Competitive Matches, Maps, and Champions Lore

In addition to the changes to Lúcio, the PTR patch notes include changes to the overall gameplay.

General

  • In the hero gallery, you can now find details about each hero’s backstory and associated skins.

Competitive Matches

  • A progression system has been added to assault and assault/escort maps that makes it easier to avoid a draw.
  • The developers are unhappy with how often competitive matches end in a draw. The new progression system allows the game to determine how far a team has taken a control point. It works similarly to the measured distance when delivering payload.
  • The team that has taken the largest share of a control point wins.
  • For testing purposes, the map rotation in ranked matches is limited to Eichenwalde and Hanamura.
Overwatch Eichenwalde

Maps

  • Attackers on Eichenwalde receive a new route. This route connects the starting area of the attacking team with the objective point.

Custom Games and Game Browser

  • Settings for custom games can now be saved in the game details.
  • Right-click on the card while creating a game or right-click on a game name in the game browser to do this.

Bug Fixes

General

  • A bug has been fixed that prevented achievements in competitive matches from being unlocked between seasons.
  • A bug has been fixed that caused voice lines to not play during game highlights.
  • A bug has been fixed that prevented voice lines from playing on control maps.

Custom Games and Game Browser

  • A bug has been fixed that displayed empty player slots even though they were disabled (e.g., in 6v1 games).
  • A bug has been fixed that caused pausing to not work after the game creator left the match.
  • A bug has been fixed that allowed excessively long team names to be chosen.

Heroes

  • Ana no longer unscopes her rifle after throwing a grenade.
  • The brightness of Bastion’s golden gun has been reduced when the BlizzCon skin is equipped.
  • A bug has been fixed where Mei’s pinky finger appeared strange in certain positions when the Chang’e or Luna skin was equipped.

Maps

  • A bug has been fixed that allowed players to see the outlines of enemy players through a dirt mound at the castle gate on Eichenwalde.
  • A bug has been fixed that caused players to get stuck in the destroyed castle gates on Eichenwalde.
  • A bug has been fixed that allowed Sombra to reach unintended locations on King’s Row.
  • A bug has been fixed that allowed players to reach unintended locations on the control capture version of Lijiang Tower.
  • A bug has been fixed that allowed Symmetra to hide turrets in unintended locations on Oasis.

Neverwinter: “The Cloaked Ascendancy” – Release Date PS4, Xbox One

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

While PC players are already experiencing the adventures of the new expansion “The Cloaked Ascendancy” for the MMORPG Neverwinter, players on PS4 and Xbox One still have to wait a bit. But the release date for the expansion is approaching.

The latest adventure module will be released for Xbox One and Playstation 4 on April 11.

The events will then take you back to the city of Neverwinter, where a new threat is brewing. Players are meant to feel as though they are returning to Neverwinter as heroes after the events of the last expansions. For example, Lord Neverember, the ruler of the city, will seek the advice of the legendary heroes instead of treating them like foot soldiers and making them do menial tasks.

neverwinter the cloaked ascendancy boss
Neverwinter is set to feel more like D&D again

Additionally, the feeling of a D&D game session is set to revive. The heroes will traditionally stop by a tavern to receive a quest. As lead designer Thomas Foss explains, the team has wanted to focus on the aspect of magic for a long time now, after players have fought against huge monsters for so long. He drew inspiration for the story of “The Cloaked Ascendancy” from images from D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast. They depicted powerful wizards in the city of Neverwinter, and Foss wanted to explore who these wizards are and what their plans entail.

With the new adventure module, the team also aims to move away from linear “tunnel” gameplay experiences and give players more freedom. The adventures are also set to be repeatable. You will determine how the adventures unfold and how you reclaim the new area “River District.” During your adventures, you will learn more about the mysterious wizards causing trouble in the city.

The next adventure takes place in a warmer area

Thomas Foss also explains that the console versions of Neverwinter are well-received by players and that in the future, expansions could be released simultaneously on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. We also have an interview coming up regarding Neverwinter on console for you. As for the next expansion, Foss aims to focus on warmer regions and allow you to experience adventures with well-known heroes. But first, console fans can look forward to April 11 when “The Cloaked Ascendancy” will be released.

Destiny: Fewer Playlists, More Loot – Major PvP Updates Coming

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Age of Triumph brings some changes to the PvP of Destiny. The Crucible will be streamlined.

In the livestream for the “Age of Triumph” last Wednesday, the developers visited Lord Shaxx in the Tower and presented his inventory. Starting March 28, the Crucible overseer will offer two weekly bounties that will grant you tasty rewards. In today’s “This Week at Bungie,” there were further details about the PvP area.

According to designer Jeremiah Pieschl, Age of Triumph pursues two goals for the Crucible:

  • To ensure the quality of matchmaking.
  • There will be more ways to earn rewards in the Crucible. “Generosity” will be prioritized.

The Crucible will be streamlined

They plan to achieve these goals by reducing the number of Crucible playlists. Each week there will be five core playlists displayed in the middle column of the Crucible navigator. A rotating playlist will be in the upper column, and private matches will be in the lower column. This is what the navigator will look like:

destiny pvp playlist
Control, Domination, Elimination/Trials, Salvage, and Rumble are in line here

This means that playlists such as Control or Clash will not be available every week. Different modes will be featured each week, focusing on keeping the matchmaking pools filled and reducing long wait times. There is one exception: Elimination will be available every week, replaced by the Trials of Osiris on weekends.

Players who do not own “Rise of Iron” will find their playlists in the upper column.

Changes to PvP Bounties

In addition to the second bounty from Lord Shaxx, there will also be updates to the daily Crucible bounties: It should no longer matter which mode you play, which subclass you have, or whether you play in a fireteam.

Additionally, the Crucible Quartermaster will offer five new bounties per week, which will grant you different weapon types. This will allow you to acquire “Year 2” and “Year 3” weapons from the Crucible, Iron Banner, and the Trials of Osiris. For example, there will be a Hand Cannon bounty, giving you a chance to obtain an Eyasluna!

destiny-pvp-hüter

The Trials bounties will also be updated. Each of them can be completed daily while the Trials are active. Silver and Gold tier bounties contain gear and weapons from Year 3.

More info from “This Week at Bungie”:

The weekly story playlist will feature these playlists on a rotating basis:

  • Earth and Moon: Story missions from the release of Destiny
  • Mars and Venus: Story missions from the release of Destiny
  • Dark Champions: Story missions from Darkness Awaits and House of Wolves
  • The Taken War: Story missions from The Taken King
  • The Iron Lords: Story missions from The Rise of Iron
    destiny-pvp

Additionally, it is reiterated: Yes, the Nightfall buff is coming back.

Next week, the third and final livestream for the Age of Triumph will take place, focusing on weapons and armor pieces. According to DeeJ, it might be that they have saved the best “Destiny 1” armor pieces for last. New ornaments will be showcased. Furthermore, they will need to discuss the primary weapons with elemental damage that will be returning.

Hearthstone: New Legendaries – 12 Un’Goro cards presented

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

For the online card game Hearthstone , Blizzard has introduced a whole new set of cards for the expansion “Journey to Un’Goro”. There are some pretty powerful legendary cards included.

We have known for a while that the next expansion for Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone is coming out in early April: The Journey to Un’Goro. Today, there was a lot of new cards revealed in a Hearthstone Card Reveal during the live stream. We will show you the 12 new cards.

Hearthstone Card Reveal: Those who hate RNG will … not love this card

Explore-Un'Goro

This is probably the nightmare card for anyone who thinks: There’s already too much randomness in Hearthstone. The whole deck is replaced with 1-mana cards that have the effect “Discover a random card.” You then get to choose between three cards when you play them.


Lakkar’s Sacrifice is one of the new “Quest cards” and we will also show its reward, the Nether Portal. If a Warlock manages to discard 6 cards while holding the Quest card, he gets the Nether Portal. Once played, it cannot be destroyed and will continuously spawn Imps: Two 3/2 Imps appear per round, at the end of the turn.


This trio includes a powerful Taunt for the Warlock that fits excellently with the Quest card. We also see typical class cards for Priests and Mages here.

Elise gives you a card pack for this match – RNG alarm

Elise


Elise is a pretty wild card. When you play Elise, a “2 Mana” card pack is mixed into your deck. When you open it, you then receive 5 Un’Goro cards for the match. When you play them, there is an animation as if you are opening a new card pack. However, you cannot keep the 5 extra cards after the match.


The Crawler is a nice mini-counter against Pirate decks. Dino-Size could be a lot of fun for Paladins, setting a minion’s health and attack to 10. The Tar Creeper is a Taunt that becomes stronger when the opponent’s turn begins, dealing 3 damage then. So it is an interesting defensive minion.

Two more legendary minions to finish

Corpse-Flower
King Dred


This legendary carnivorous plant does not die when defeated, but falls asleep. If the Rogue plays four cards in one turn, it awakens again. This might explain why Un’Goro is not exactly the top destination for tourists in Azeroth.

And lastly, this king of the jungle. A 9/9 dino for 7 mana that bites everything that moves. When the opponent plays a minion, the king bites as well.

You can actually already get a pack for Un’Goro, and it doesn’t take much effort:

Overwatch: Outsiders triumph with crazy strategy against professional teams

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

An almost unknown team is knocking out the pros in the Overwatch tournaments with quite strange strategies.

Thanks to the many characters and different possibilities, Overwatch always has the potential for exciting moments and unexpected tactics – at least in theory. In practice, however, a meta has established itself among the pros, where certain combinations of characters are considered essential. Popular combos like 2/2/2 (2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 DPS) or 3/2/1 (3 tanks, 2 healers, 1 DPS) can be seen repeatedly in the tournaments. Basically, it’s about waiting for an error from the others or finally breaking through that one bottleneck.

However, at the current APEX Overwatch tournament in South Korea, there is a team that doesn’t give a penny about all these things and simply doesn’t adhere to the “rules”. The team “Meta Athena” continually competes with unexpected team combinations in the second Apex season, even bringing 3 snipers in an offensive – that’s right. Exactly that, where you already hear insults that start with “Your mother” in quick match.

But Meta Athena is making quite an impact with these unusual tactics. Among the defeated enemies lie also major teams like EnVyUs.

One reason for Meta Athena’s success is their relentless aggression. Where other teams would briefly retreat, Meta Athena simply continues the assault to overwhelm the enemy. That they also play damn well goes without saying.

But the “3 sniper tactic” is not the only thing that makes Meta Athena special. In the following video, you’ll see a pretty crazy strategy on how to reach the first control point of Eichenwalde with Mei. All the defenses of the opponent don’t matter when the enemy team attacks from the “wrong” side.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVNE-R_3a_U

Whenever an opponent has prepared for Meta Athena, the team comes up with a new, crazy tactic. That’s why Meta Athena has also become a fan favorite – an underdog that is now on a winning streak.

As Kotaku reports, Meta Athena mainly consists of Korean teenagers.

Soon there could be buffs for Winston and adjustments for Lúcio – they are at the top of the “To do” list.

War Thunder: PvE instead of PvP – Military MMO receives Coop mode with 1.67

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

War Thunder, the military MMO from Gaijin Entertainment, receives a PvE mode with update 1.67. In it, you fight alone or together in co-op against a horde of enemies. There are also three new maps and new planes and tanks.

War Thunder is primarily a PvP game, where you team up with players using tanks and planes to battle an equally sized enemy force. With update 1.67 – the first major patch of 2017 – a co-op PvE horde mode is added.

War Thunder – Assault Mode – Together Against the Enemy

In the new Assault mode, you choose a vehicle from your fleet and then face waves of enemies. This works on the ground as well as in the air. Tank drivers engage massive amounts of enemy tanks, while air fighters must shoot down waves of bombers that appear at different altitudes, or else transform the ground into a bombing inferno.

The Assault mode can also be played in co-op, where the strength of the enemy is based on the rating of the strongest vehicle. So, pay attention to a proper team composition.

Battle of the Bulge and Flying Gun Platforms

In addition to the new game mode, there are also three new maps; the two maps “Ardennes” and “Phan Nga” are suitable for both tank drivers and pilots, while the “Guiana Highlands” map is relevant only for planes. In the Ardennes map, you play at the site of the legendary Battle of the Bulge, the largest land battle of the US Army in World War II.

The Phan Nga map, on the other hand, is set in the Pacific, and the Guiana Highlands are 6,000 meters above sea level in South America. The rugged terrain allows for particularly breathtaking maneuvers and dogfights straight out of Star Wars in the trench of the Death Star!

To avoid boredom, there are again plenty of new planes and tanks, including the following vehicles:

  • A-26B-50 Invader: A US ground attack aircraft equipped with 14 .50 caliber Browning guns, as well as a ton of unguided rockets.
  • Heavy Tank T34: A heavy US tank
  • Ju 87 StuKa: The feared StuKa receives a new model with fully animated bomb racks
  • FV4005: A gigantic British tank destroyer with a 183mm cannon
  • Spähpanzer Ru 251: A German post-war tank, the fastest tank so far in the game!
  • Ki-67 Hiryu: A legendary Japanese bomber from World War II
  • IS-6: The hefty Russian tank is finally in the game!
  • Sturmpanzer II: This self-propelled howitzer fires massive HE shells
  • Type 60 ATM: An armored personnel carrier of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, employing wire-guided anti-tank missiles.

Destiny: Trials of Osiris – The map on 17.3.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Trials of Osiris begin today, March 17th. Which map will be played?

A good month ago, the update 2.5.0.2 was released, which adjusted the weapon balance in Destiny. Just a few days later, the best weapon types that dominate the new meta became clear: the hand cannons, the sidearms, and particularly in the Trials, the sniper rifle No Land Beyond, which can be used in the primary slot. If you don’t reach for the hand cannon, the secondary slot is filled with a sniper.

With “Age of Triumph,” there will be another sandbox update. Bungie will discuss this in detail next Wednesday during a livestream. How this will affect the meta-game remains to be seen.

In advance, the Trials of Osiris start today. They begin at 6 PM and run until the weekly reset next week. This time, the map Rusted Lands will be played.

What are the Trials of Osiris?

In the Trials, you engage in PvP battles in the “Elimination” mode. You compete in teams of three and try to fill your scorecard with victories. If the opposing team is completely defeated, you win a round. Fallen team members can be revived. Here, it’s not just about having strong gear, but also about communication among the Guardians. A solid knowledge of the map is advantageous.

With 5 and 7 victories, there are random rewards from the stash of Osiris. You should also keep an eye on Brother Vance’s bounties for extra rewards. If you’re in top form, you can reach Mercury with a “flawless” ticket and loot the chest with fine loot there.

Good luck in the Trials, Guardians.

Conan Exiles is considering server wipes – Huge dupe exploit

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The survival MMO Conan Exiles is struggling with a major dupe exploit. This could lead to the wipe of all Funcom servers. Then everything would be gone on the official servers.

Angry users are writing on reddit: A dupe exploit is going around in Conan Exiles. Server 74 is full of “dupers.” In a dupe, an item is illegally duplicated by exploiting a game bug.

This leads to an imbalance in the economic balance of a game, because cheaters have huge resources at their disposal and gain insurmountable advantages over honest players. Such a dupe exploit ruins everything.

Thousands of building materials, really thousands

A player tells on reddit that they raided an outpost and found “thousands,” really “thousands” of building materials and foundations there. They are being used to build a massive wall around the northwestern area of the map. Apparently, there is also an exploit where players wear “full steel armor” even though they should actually be naked.

Another says: “Anyone with better equipment than T1 has used the exploit.”

A quick search on YouTube shows “Duping Exploits” with tutorials that emerged as early as March 8. So it has been going on for quite some time.

As statements from the developers indicate, a dupe exploit actually spread in the survival MMO Conan Exiles, but has since been fixed. The damage is still there. How should Funcom deal with it?

Conan Exiles Avatar by Yog
Monday might already see everything gone

In other threads, the demand can be heard: Funcom urgently needs to wipe the official servers now. Users don’t understand how this can NOT be done. The dupe bug has been extensively used for several days, and some have even been duping since the release. Conan Exiles is now “irreparably corrupted.”

Funcom has already responded, saying on reddit and via Twitter: They are currently weighing their options. Now that the exploit is fixed, Funcom is considering how to proceed. Nothing has been decided yet.

After the weekend, Funcom plans to provide updates, and they might have decided how to proceed by then. They hope to have news.

Funcom does not explicitly say it, but it seems likely: A wipe appears to be quite possible here.

In a “wipe” or “reset,” the official servers are reset, as if no one had ever played there. In a rollback, they are set back to an earlier point in time.

This has already happened in Conan Exiles shortly after release when Funcom changed the server operator. Funcom has big plans for the survival MMO:

Overwatch: New patch is supposed to result in fewer “draws”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Tied matches in Overwatch are annoying. Soon this should be a thing of the past.

Although Overwatch is one of the most successful shooters ever, even nearly a year after its release, there are still a lot of issues that the game suffers from. For many players, it’s quite a thorn in their side that it is possible to achieve a “tie” in competitive mode at all. This is also the case for user RedPanda, who wrote in the official forum:

“I would rather be steamrolled than waste another 20 minutes of my life trying to earn a tie. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this, but they happen way too often. (…)

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Game Director

Yeah, I know I still get XP, but I don’t care. It just feels terrible when you fight so hard and the game at the end says ‘It didn’t matter.’

Jeff Kaplan quickly responded and explained:

“We have some changes coming to the PTR soon. These changes will dramatically reduce the number of tied matches. More details will be available very soon.”

How exactly Blizzard wants to reduce the number of ties in Overwatch is still unknown. It could be possible to simply take the time of the “faster” team in the case of a tie to determine the winner. In the end, we’ll probably have to wait for details.

Later, Kaplan added that the changes should also help in “Capture the Flag” and “Elimination” modes, even though these are not part of competitive play. Apparently, Blizzard is generally unhappy with a “tie.”

Jeff Kaplan refers to himself as “a middle-aged nerd without charisma”.

Diablo 3: Season 10 for PS4 and Xbox One – Start date is set!

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard finally announced the day when Diablo 3 seasons will be activated for PS4 and Xbox One. Are you ready?

Console players had to wait a long time for this news: The seasons are coming to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Diablo 3 and now have an official start date.

Then you can enjoy the many benefits such as leaderboards, achievements, or season-specific rewards. You don’t have to wait much longer, as console players can participate in the seasons starting from season 10.

Diablo 3 Seasons on Console – When?

The 10th season of Diablo 3 starts on March 31. Then you players on PS4 or Xbox One can participate in these contents from Blizzard’s hack-and-slash. So the new season starts for PC players and console players on the same day. Blizzard confirmed the official start on Twitter:

What’s different? How do seasons work on console?

To participate in a season, you have to create a new character and activate it as a “season character” during creation. These season characters can be played in Hardcore mode and Non-Hardcore mode – it’s up to you.

Season characters are separate from your existing characters and share no resources. You start your adventure from scratch without gold, Paragon levels, crafting blueprints, stash spaces, crafting levels, or gear. Everything is reset to zero.

  • By completing various tasks of the season journey, you will be rewarded with gifts that include parts of your first set. If you’ve completed several tasks, you’ll have your first complete set in your hands, giving you a strong boost in terms of damage and toughness. This makes the first major Nephalem Rifts significantly easier for you.
  • On leaderboards, you can compete solo or in a group with other players.

After the season ends, your characters are not deleted, but transformed into non-seasonal heroes. All armors, materials, gold supplies, and Paragon experience you collected during the season will be available to your non-seasonal characters.

With the new patch 2.5.0, there will be new “best” items available that you can obtain with your Diablo 3 characters.
