WoW: Flying in Patch 7.2 – Requirements eased!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

With Patch 7.2, flying returns to WoW. The requirements have been significantly relaxed on the PTR.

One of the most eagerly awaited features of the next patch of World of Warcraft is flying on the Broken Isles. With Patch 7.2 “Tomb of Sargeras”, players will once again be able to quickly traverse distances on the Broken Isles on their flying mounts.

To unlock flying, a series of achievements must be completed. The first part is “Pathfinder of the Broken Isles (Part 1)”, which can already be accomplished in the game.

WoW Fel Murlocs Legionfall

The second part of this achievement can only be completed with Patch 7.2 and has had rather tough requirements involving a lot of farming and grinding. For instance, you had to be revered with the Legionfall faction and collect more than 50,000 Nethe shards on the Broken Coast (the new area).

The requirements for flying in WoW Patch 7.2

In the official forum, Blizzard has commented on the new requirements and listed what needs to be done to obtain the flying ability.

  • Complete Pathfinder of the Broken Isles Part 1
  • Fully explore the Broken Coast
  • Defender of the Broken Coast: Complete a demon invasion (including scenario) in each of the 4 zones
  • Reach respectful status with the Armies of Legionfall faction
WoW Legionfall Banner huge

One step required players to collect 50,000 Nethe shards. This quest step has since been drastically simplified, and now only 2,500 shards are needed. When you want to complete the quest, Khadgar even remarks that he only needs one and has no use for the remaining 2,499. Just an archmage.

No release date for Patch 7.2 and thus the flying ability has been announced yet.

What rewards the new faction Legionfall offers, we will reveal here.

For Honor: Neues Content-Update jetzt live – Bringt Items für jeden Helden

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

A new content update has gone live for For Honor. This brings ornaments for all heroes as well as an effect.

A few hours ago, Ubisoft announced via Twitter: A new content update is live! They also released a trailer, which we embed here for you:

New Decorations for the Heroes

This update brings no new maps, heroes, or game modes, but only an ornament (a helmet decoration) for each hero as well as the effect “Whirlwind.” However, you will need to unlock these new contents first with steel. The Whirlwind effect costs 5000 steel.

The “big” content updates are only released at the end of each season. A season consists of 5 rounds, with each round lasting two weeks. Currently, the second round of the first season is ongoing. It will end in 4 days.

So it will take some time before we see new heroes and maps. Perhaps we will see these two heroes then: A Centurion and a Ninja.

For Honor: 10 Einsteiger-Tipps im Video – So meistert ihr das Gameplay

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The complex sword fights in For Honor are neither easy to learn nor to master. But fortunately, our colleague Refaser has summarized ten particularly helpful tips for beginners in a video.

For Honor focuses on a complex gameplay of carefully coordinated attacks and defensive actions to simulate engaging melee combat. Anyone who just mashes away like a berserker is of no value, even as a berserker. Even the wild Viking brutes require finesse and good timing! But how can one improve in For Honor when constantly getting beaten down?

Pokémon GO: Egg Rarity – These Pokémon hatch extremely rarely

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

We show you which Pokémon hatch rarely and which hatch frequently in Pokémon GO. A Dratini hatches more often from eggs than a Machollo. 

So far, not much was known about the factors influencing the content of the eggs in Pokémon GO. Sometimes trainers get a Paras, sometimes there’s a Myrapla. If the best friend then hatches a Lapras from their 10 KM egg, envy quickly arises because you might be getting Dratini from these eggs consistently.

As experts have now found out, there are hidden rarity levels among the Pokémon from the different egg types. But how does this system work and which monsters are particularly rare from eggs?

Rare Pokémon from Eggs

The experts from TheSilphRoad have closely examined the eggs in Pokémon GO and reached an exciting conclusion: The contents of the eggs depend on rarity levels that are not synonymous with the egg type (2 KM, 5 KM, and 10 KM).

Simply put, this means: Not all 10 KM Pokémon are rarer than 2 KM Pokémon or 5 KM Pokémon. While this may initially sound confusing, it can be explained with a simple example: Currently, it is easier to obtain a 10 KM egg with a Dratini than a 2 KM egg with a Machollo. This conclusion resulted from an experiment where a total of 5945 eggs were analyzed.

4 Rarity Levels

Pokémon GO Egg Results TSR Final

In the first study, the experts analyzed 5945 eggs that hatched between the Halloween event and before the launch of the 2nd generation. The results were recorded in a table showing the frequency of the different Pokémon from the eggs.

  • In 1st place are Myrapla and Ponita, both hatching 172 times
  • Nidoran and Paras are close behind, each hatching 165 times
  • Sandan and Quapsel each hatched 164 times

The Pokémon mentioned above hatch frequently from eggs, in contrast to those with lower placements that are particularly rare from eggs.

  • Porygon is in last place, hatching only 14 times in the test
  • Amonitas hatched only 15 times
  • Chaneira is also particularly rare, as it hatched, like Sleima, only 16 times

Based on these results, TheSilphRoad categorized the Pokémon into the following 4 rarity levels:

  • Common
  • Uncommon
  • Rare
  • Extremely rare

But which Pokémon fit into the different categories? Before the launch of the 2nd generation, the table looked like this:

Pokémon GO Rarity Table

Rare Pokémon from Eggs, including 2nd Generation – Current

The 2nd generation has only been active in Pokémon GO for a few weeks now. TheSilphRoad is working hard to classify the new Pokémon into the rarity levels as well. So far, 2514 eggs have been analyzed, allowing for solid results in the Common and Uncommon categories. To achieve more accurate results in the Rare and Extremely Rare categories, more eggs need to be hatched. For now, the current egg rarity table looks like this:

Pokémon GO Rarity Table Gen2

It is now clear from the comparison in the introduction: The chance of getting a Dratini (common) from a 10 KM egg is greater than getting a Machollo (uncommon) from a 2 KM egg. For you, this may mean a change in your buddy Pokémon. If you are collecting candies for Sleima and hope to get this from a 5 KM egg, then you now know that the chance for that is low.

An overview of which Pokémon hatch from which egg can be found in our Pokémon GO Egg List including the 2nd Generation, which we regularly update.

Destiny: Trials of Osiris – The map on March 10th.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Trials of Osiris start today, March 10th. Which Trials map is up this time?

In the upcoming Seal Book for the Age of Triumph, the Trials of Osiris will be featured on an entire page. If you want to complete this book 100%, there’s no way around the Lighthouse. Since Bungie knows that many Guardians will never reach this milestone, you only need 6 out of 7 milestones to receive the Trials reward from the book.

Destiny-Asylum

The Trials today begin at 6 PM. They will run until next Tuesday at 10 AM. They will conclude with the weekly reset. This time, the map Asylum will be played.

What are the Trials of Osiris?

In the Trials, you will engage in PvP combat in the “Elimination” mode. You will 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 teammates can be revived. Here, not only a strong loadout but also communication among the Guardians is crucial. A good knowledge of the map is advantageous.

At 5 and 7 victories, there are random rewards from the loot pool 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 there loot the chest with fine loot.

Good luck in the Trials, Guardians.

Last Wednesday, the developers talked about the upcoming update “Age of Triumph”. You can find the information from that in the provided link. Next Wednesday, they will go into more detail about the changes affecting the weekly rituals. Expectedly, there will be information about the Nightfall strike, the Elder challenges, and further details about the raids.

Conan Exiles: For Glory and Views! YouTubers in the Fortress War

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Conan Exiles, everything is allowed. Even raiding and destroying other people’s houses and bases. However, a YouTuber went too far and destroyed the beloved base of a rival as revenge.

Conan Exiles Pirates

In Conan Exiles, it’s not just about naked genitals, even though the swinging masculinity saved Funcom. Instead, you play as a wild barbarian who must survive in the harsh wasteland. If necessary, against other exile barbarians who can steal valuable resources from you and rob you.

Conan Exiles – Small Raids Among Friends

Raiding other players’ houses is a staple of the survival MMO on PvP servers. It takes on a special twist when it’s not just about loot, but also about viewers.

The YouTuber Faceless (200,000 subscribers) raided the successful colleague H2ODelirious (8.6 million subscribers) and robbed his base.

A video of the dastardly act, featuring the “Raid on H20Delirious”, brought Faceless far more views than he usually gets with his videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYzwS63E4U

But the big YouTuber didn’t let that slide.

Faceless was particularly successful with a web series he produced together with the YouTube colleague Maxmoefoe. In this series, the two of them lovingly built a gigantic base on a blank, content-development-reserved private server. This fortress was their pride and the foundation of their successful web series.

The Barbarian’s Revenge!

Therefore, the horror and lament was great when Faceless and Maxmoefoe logged in one day and found their beloved base nearly completely erased from the earth. Only the wheel of pain and a few walls remained desolately in the wasteland. The rest had been neatly smashed to bits and ravaged.

Conan Exiles Wheel of Pain

“Who does something like this?” the two YouTubers wondered. Soon, the login data of the server revealed the culprit: It was H20Delirious!

As revenge for the raid on his base, H2ODelirious had sneaked onto the empty server while the owners were offline and begun his path of destruction until nothing was left of the formerly proud base.

H2ODelirious: “I did nothing wrong!”

Since the base was the centerpiece of Faceless’ and Maxmoefoe’s web series on YouTube, they had to abandon it, which they announced in a “Last Video”.

H2ODelirious felt the brunt of the anger from the fans of both, who flooded his next Conan video with over 43,000 dislikes and hate comments. Consequently, H2ODelirious disabled the comment function.

https://youtu.be/agRWLXh6kuQ

H20Delirious is not aware of any guilt. He and his “army” of fans argue that in a game like Conan Exiles, one can destroy bases because that’s part of the game. You have to get over it if it happens to you and not whine about it.

Conan-Exiles

This statement further inflamed the anger of the opposing side, as they argue that a private and otherwise empty content creator server should be off-limits. Various other YouTubers are now also criticizing H20Delirious for the destruction of the base.

What do you think about the matter? Did H20Delirious act correctly since you can explicitly destroy other players’ bases on PvP servers in Conan Exiles? Or are such actions simply unacceptable, especially when they ruin the business basis for other YouTubers? Let us know in the comments.

SMITE: New God “Cernunnos” puts the horns on you

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new god of SMITE, Cernunnos, comes from Celtic mythology. “The Horned” is a relentless hunter!

In SMITE, the release of a new god is imminent. After starting to implement the Celtic pantheon in the god MOBA with “The Morrigan” just a few patches ago, they are now adding a hunter with Cernunnos. Little is known about Cernunnos. He is considered the god of nature and animals, which is also reflected in his animalistic appearance. His name translates to “the Horned,” which is why he has been given an almost satyr-like appearance.

We take a quick look at Cernunnos’s abilities:

  • The passive ability Heavy Glaive ensures that his attacks deal additional damage to all enemies in melee range.
  • With Shifter of Seasons, Cernunnos can switch between 4 different stances corresponding to the seasons. Each stance comes with bonuses for automatic attacks:
    • Spring: Physical lifesteal
    • Summer: Additional damage
    • Autumn: Debuff with reduced physical protection
    • Winter: Slow
  • Bramble Blast fires a projectile of thorns in a straight line that explodes upon hitting the first enemy, a wall, or the end of its flight path. The explosion deals damage and leaves a thorny area for 5 seconds, which slows and deals damage.
  • Horn Charge is his movement ability. He charges forward in a straight line, piercing through all enemies and dealing damage to them.
  • Cernunnos’s ultimate is The Wild Hunt. A large area is marked, and after one second, all enemies in the area are transformed into wild boars, silenced and disarmed.

Aside from that, the patch – as usual – brings a lot of new skins. Among them is a cool punk rock skin for The Morrigan and the gruesomely beautiful “Dreadful Doll” skin for Izanami. Loki, on the other hand, becomes a goblin and lures with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

It will surely be a few days until the release of Patch 4.4 “Hunting Season.” There is currently no release date.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Launch Trailer – A New Home for Humanity

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The launch trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda has been released – lots of explosions and emotions collide in a new galaxy.

In just under 2 weeks, the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda will take place, the next chapter in BioWare’s SciFi universe. To further excite the fans and still doubtful players, BioWare has now released the launch trailer, which offers a first glimpse into the Andromeda galaxy.

The story of Mass Effect: Andromeda begins between Mass Effect 2 and 3, but then places the player nearly 600 years into the future, in the largely unknown Andromeda galaxy. As a “Pathfinder,” a selected team is supposed to search for a new home for humanity here, as the resources of Earth and the known systems have long been running out.

Consequently, humans in Andromeda are the “aliens” invading a foreign galaxy. How the different species in Andromeda will react to this is something you will find out for yourselves in a few weeks.

It is also important to note that the choices of players from Mass Effect 1-3 will have little relevance for the new installment. “Andromeda” is a fresh start and although Shepard is a well-known character, none of the (controversial) endings from Mass Effect 3 are canon now. How exactly this will be resolved, we will probably find out soon enough.

Mass Effect: Andromeda will be released in Europe on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on March 23, 2017. However, customers of “Origins Access” and “EA Access” can already get a taste of the game a week earlier with 10 hours of playtime.

Tera (The Exiled Realm of Arborea) is a high-profile free-to-play action MMORPG. It was released in South Korea in January 2011. After a strong start, development slowed down due to a legal conflict for a while. The creators of Lineage, NCSoft, had raised accusations against Bluehole, claiming they had stolen “Trade Secrets” for Lineage 3.

Since the accusations have been cleared, the development of Tera has picked up pace again, and new classes and fresh content have been released. The next addition will be a glaive-fighting class. Here in Europe, Tera is published by Gameforge.

When En Masse brought Tera to the PC platform Steam in 2015, Tera became the most played MMORPG on Valve’s platform in no time.

Tera-Action

Tera is a classic MMORPG, where combat against giant monsters – the BAMs (Big Ass Monsters) – takes center stage. The combat system is action-packed and is considered refined.

The fact that Tera is now coming to PS4 and Xbox One is a very interesting development for consoles. A pure action MMORPG like Tera is something new here. There isn’t anything quite like it there yet. Neverwinter is the closest to it. This year, the similarly themed Skyforge is also set to be released on PS4 and Xbox One.

Sea of Thieves: Gameplay video shows how a “Voyage” quest fails

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Sea of Thieves looks incredibly fun. In a new gameplay video, the developers of the online pirate game set out to complete one of the new “Voyage” quests… and fail at it.

A “Voyage” quest in Sea of Thieves can unfold in different ways. Some of these missions are very short, while others take you to multiple islands and accordingly take longer. During such a quest, players are supposed to feel like they are experiencing an epic adventure, which is also reflected by the music that changes according to the situation and creates an exciting atmosphere.

Sea of Thieves
From treasure hunting to sea battles

In a new gameplay video, some of the game’s developers embark on such a “Voyage” quest during the technical alpha.

The crew of a ship sets out to dig for treasure and then discovers another ship anchored near an island. Naturally, this leads directly to a sea battle against a breathtaking sunset. The ship takes a lot of damage, and the crew has to patch the leaks during the battle so that the vessel doesn’t sink. Suddenly, there is a boarding attack, and the crew must face the enemy crew on their own deck.

As can be seen in the video, the developers do not fare very well; most of the crew are killed, and the treasures are stolen. It is also shown what happens when a crew member dies. Because this person then finds themselves on a ghost ship.

It looks soooo good!

The video of Sea of Thieves is already a lot of fun to watch and shows how an adventure in the pirate game can unfold and how good it already looks during the alpha. It makes you excited to finally be able to play the online game yourself. But that still takes a while, as Sea of Thieves is set to be released later this year for Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One.

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Another week has gone by! Time to play! But what’s on your agenda? Let us know what you want to play in the coming days!

For most players, the end of the workday today means it’s time to relax with some online games over the weekend of March 10 to 12. This weekend is especially good for a trip to Bolivia, colorful fantasy worlds, or creepy wastelands.

Death to the Cartel!

Fans of tactics, action, and stunning open worlds surely have already booked a ticket to virtual Bolivia this weekend. In the game, the recently released tactical shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands lets you explore Bolivia, which turns out to be a corrupt drug swamp controlled by the minions of the Santa Blanca cartel.

This portrayal of the country, by the way, is not taken lightly by the Bolivian government and they have already filed a complaint against the manufacturer Ubisoft with the French government. But whether the portrayal of Bolivia in the game is authentic or not, Ghost Recon Wildlands is definitely fun, especially as it has been significantly improved since the disastrous beta version.

What is the editorial team playing?

Of course, the Mein-MMO team also uses the weekend to play our favorite games. Here is our list:

I, Jürgen, have just developed a similar passion for covert operations against the Santa Blanca cartel. After finally taking down my first cartel Buchons yesterday (burn in hell, “La Yuri y El Polito”!), I will also be playing Ghost Recon Wildlands this weekend along with some pen-and-paper RPG (DSA ftw!). Since I also like to play as a sniper but currently don’t have a decent scope yet, I will focus on finding better scopes for the sniper rifle.

If I find the time, I will invest my currently saved crowns in the new items in the ESO shop and crown crates of the Wild Hunt, because this stuff totally suits my taste this time.

But enough about us! What are you playing this weekend? Are you also drawn to Bolivia or do you have other plans? Let us know in the comments!

Dead by Daylight meets Left 4 Dead – New, free survivor “Bill”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

“Bill” from Left 4 Dead is now also in Dead by Daylight. The new free character brings cool perks into the matches.

In the developers’ livestreams of Dead by Daylight, they have repeatedly emphasized that they are big fans of the Left 4 Dead series. No wonder, as the zombie shooter is one of the most fun and enduring games on Steam. Now the developers have managed to come to an agreement with Valve to offer a new DLC for Dead by Daylight.

Dead by Daylight Left 4 Dead Characters

The DLC “Left Behind” is free and will be automatically added to all owners of Dead by Daylight. For all players, there is the new survivor Bill Overbeck, who comes with 3 unique perks.

  • Left Behind – If you are the last survivor in a match, you receive a powerful bonus to the repair speed of the remaining generators.
  • Borrowed Time – If you rescue someone from the hook while you are in the killer’s terror radius, any damage that would down you or the rescued player is delayed for a few seconds, allowing both to escape for a while.
  • Unyielding – Once per match, you can fully recover yourself from the downed state.

In addition to the new survivor Bill, there are also costumes for 4 more survivors, allowing you to dress them up like the protagonists from Left 4 Dead. Dwight looks like Ellis, Claudette borrows the appearance of Rochelle, Jake copies the outfit of Francis, and Meg is a reincarnation of Zoey.

Cortyn says: The combination of Dead by Daylight and Left 4 Dead fits perfectly here. I particularly like the fact of how the two “stories” have been intertwined. Because those who remember Left 4 Dead 2 know that Bill died while he had to repair a generator. That he now reappears in a game where he basically has to repair generators endlessly is brilliant and ironic at the same time. Well done.

Why we love Dead by Daylight, we explain to you in this article.

The Division: Bietet das Jahr 2 noch mehr als Events, Loadouts und Feats?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Year 2 of The Division delivers three major innovations. But is that it?

On March 8, 2017, during the one-year anniversary of The Division, Ubisoft and Massive spoke in detail about the plans for Year 2 for the first time. There will be two free expansions for all agents, with the first planned for the summer. Throughout the year, bug fixes and balancing patches will also be provided.

In the reveal stream, three major innovations were discussed:

  • Seasons: These are time-limited events where you play playlists of PvE activities with modifiers. There are leaderboards and special rewards.
  • Loadouts: Starting in the summer, you can save your builds and switch between them at will.
  • Feats: These are achievements that allow you to show in-game what great accomplishments you have already achieved. With these, you can customize your character’s appearance.
Division-Concept-Christmas

The agents are skeptical about these “big innovations”: Loadouts are a long-awaited feature, yes, but the rest sounds like cosmetic stuff and old activities with a new coat of paint. There are doubts that this can entertain for an entire year. Is there more to come?

Not all details have been revealed yet

In the Division forums, players express disappointment, stating that they expected more from Year 2. The Division is likely to be remembered as one of the “biggest missed opportunities” in gaming history, say frustrated agents.

Division-Concept

In a current “State of the Game” article, Massive addresses these concerns. They emphasize that only some “Year 2” plans have been announced. Not all details of the two expansions have been revealed. However, they are very interested in reading your ideas and suggestions on the “Suggestions and Feedback” page in the Division forum.

We know that there will be no paid DLCs in Year 2. There will also be no level cap increase. The map will not be expanded either. When asked about more story missions, the response was that the second expansion of this year will focus on “story” and narrative elements. Additionally, the developers mentioned a fantastic new vanity slot (for cosmetic items) that they can only talk about in detail in the future. It seems that not much more is to come.

Ttime says:

This “Year 2” reveal sounds less like “Hey, we are going all out in Year 2” and more like “We need some sort of activity for the players now!” while behind the scenes, they are working on something bigger – possibly a sequel, “The Division 2”.

In an interview with GameSpot, the Creative Director Julian Gerighty was asked directly how a sequel looks in the future. He replied that he can only say at the moment that the entire team is committed to working on The Division and will be busy for a long time. Furthermore, he stated that they are working on exciting plans for the future of the “The Division” brand.

It remains to be seen how motivating and varied the events will be. Perhaps there are still one or two nice surprises in the yet-to-be-announced “details” for Year 2. However, I wouldn’t recommend setting the expectations for Year 2 too high.

Currently, the “Year 1” celebration is taking place in The Division. What you can expect in the game can be found in the provided link.

World of Tanks: Ciabatta! Dolph Lundgren in hilarious commercial

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Wargaming, the creators of World of Tanks, recently enlisted action star Dolph Lundgren as their advertising icon. Now the first commercial featuring the 80s action legend has been released, and it is hilariously funny!

World-of-Tanks-Grille-15

In the 80s, the world was quite different and especially action heroes were icons of clichéd masculinity. Among them was Dolph Lundgren, who as the tough brute Ivan Drago pummeled the equally distinctive Sylvester Stallone around the ring in Rocky IV.

“We’re not in the 80s anymore”

But now the 80s are long gone, and masculinity is defined differently in the year 2017. Thus, Dolph Lundgren feels rather lost in the new World of Tanks commercial and is desperately searching for an appropriate new hobby for modern men.

World-of-Tanks-2

However, whether he is baking crispy ciabatta bread in a cooking class, attending relaxing yoga classes, or testing VR headsets – nothing works, everything ends in disaster. Then his manager has a life-saving idea. A game with tanks, and it’s also free! World of Tanks becomes Dolph Lundgren’s new hobby. To the detriment of an innocent loaf of bread!

World of Tanks – Action heroes and tanks – A perfect mix

The Dolph Lundgren ad hits the same note with its wit and crude humor as the advertisement for World of Warships featuring Steven Seagal released last year. It’s yet to be seen whether Dolph Lundgren – like Seagal – will be included in the game as a tank commander.

Perhaps other 80s action heroes like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, or even Chuck Norris will make an appearance in the game someday. At least Arnold Schwarzenegger has already proven with the advertising for the mobile game Mobile Strike that he’s up for such antics. It would definitely be cool, and Wargaming should have enough money for it too!

We have embedded the hilariously funny commercial here. Enjoy watching!

Also interesting: World of Tanks has proven to have humor in advertising before. See here how tanks trample potency drugs and housewife bickering in the Superbowl commercials!

My MMO asks: Satisfied with Ghost Recon Wildlands?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The beta phases of Ghost Recon Wildlands received a lot of criticism – Are you satisfied with the current version?

During last year’s E3 fair, Ubisoft showcased the first exciting trailers of the new tactical shooter. With further trailers and gameplay videos, players were prepared for the upcoming open world adventure. This year followed a closed and an open beta, both of which received a lot of criticism, but could convince in the cooperative sector.

On March 7th, the game was released and you had time to test it. How satisfied are you with Ghost Recon Wildlands?

Harsh criticism during beta tests

Ghost Recon Wildlands had a rough start. In early February 2017, it was time: selected players could participate in the closed beta of GRW. The community’s conclusion was interesting, as despite Wildlands having many bugs at that time, players did not reject it but demanded a later release.

This was requested so that the developers would have more time to fix the existing problems of the game. Something about Ubisoft’s new title was done right and convinced the community despite obvious weaknesses.

Ghost Recon Release Delay

As points of criticism, the vague vehicle controls were often seen, which made driving cars or motorcycles worse than players wanted. The complicated flying with the helicopter was also often criticized. Added to this was questionable behavior of the AI characters in the game. Both the teammates and the opponents controlled by the computer appeared lost and overwhelmed in many situations.

However, there were also many positive feedbacks, for example praising the cooperative gameplay. With up to four players, you can complete story and side missions in the various regions of Ghost Recon Wildlands. The simultaneous progress of the missions and the various tactical options were positively noted. The arsenal of weapons with 23 assault rifles and 17 sniper rifles was also well received by testers.

How do you rate the “finished” Ghost Recon Wildlands?

Despite the harsh criticism, many of you gave the game a chance and wanted to test the “finished” product. A few days have already passed since you could try Ubisoft’s tactical shooter. You may have already completed missions in the various regions, defeated boss enemies, and solved side missions to gather resources. Some of you probably had to parachute out of a helicopter because you couldn’t absolutely trust your pilot.

Does the current version of Ghost Recon Wildlands meet your expectations and are you satisfied with the game?

  • If yes: Which features or aspects convinced you? Cooperative gameplay, open world?
  • If no: Could a patch fix these problems, or is the game so far from your expectations that all hope is lost?

This is how Ghost Recon Wildlands has improved since the beta

If you are wondering why, Lifecoach is still an option, even though he recently announced just a few weeks ago that he is leaving Hearthstone for good: According to Lifecoach, he has only stepped back from the “Ladder”. He still wants to do Hearthstone-related things that he enjoys.
