The Division 1.6: This healer build keeps you alive in “Last Stand”

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division 1.6 we show you how to create a powerful healer build for “Last Stand”. This will keep you on your feet in PvP. 

Since the launch of the DLC “Last Stand” and Update 1.6, agents have been searching for new strong builds. Massive has rebalanced things significantly, leading many players to leave their AlphaBridge sets in storage and craft fresh character setups.

If you want to take on the supporter role in your squad and fully focus on skill power and healing abilities, MarcoStyle shows you an outstanding build in the video. This can significantly increase your chances of victory in “Last Stand”.

How to Create the Healer Build in The Division 1.6

This build fully relies on skill power, the tactician’s authority, and the skill “First Aid”. The idea behind the build is that your team is continuously healed, making you extremely hard to kill.

Skill power scales linearly up to a value of 450,000. That means that up to this (high!) value, your skills become stronger and stronger. Values above 450,000 have a weaker effect on the skills. Therefore, MarcoStyle relies on the tactician’s authority, as this set provides you with the following bonuses that boost skill power:

  • 2-set bonus: +15% skill haste
  • 3-set bonus: +10% skill power
  • 4-set bonus: Talent – For every bullet your group hits an enemy with, you gain 0.2% skill power, with a maximum bonus of 30%. The bonus disappears only when a skill is used.
    division-agenten-deckung

Focus on These Armor Pieces

  • Chest Piece: High-end with Energized: Allows all healing skills (including First Aid) to overheal. Ideally, all team members should have this talent. The chest piece also has a bonus to skill haste, health, and ammunition capacity.
  • Backpack: High-end with Inventive: Increases skill power by 15% at full health. Also provides a bonus to health and ammunition capacity. Thanks to the Energized talent, you will mostly have overheal and thus benefit greatly from the Inventive talent – as you remain at full health for longer.
  • Mask: Tactician’s Authority with a bonus to skill power and burn resistance.
  • Gloves: Tactician’s Authority with a bonus to health on kill, skill haste, and assault rifle damage.
  • Knee Pads: Tactician’s Authority with a bonus to health and status effect resistances.
  • Holster: Tactician’s Authority with a bonus to skill haste.
  • The Mods for this build mainly require skill haste, electronics, and “First Aid” boosts. This gets you to the following values:
division-healer-build
This build has over 9000 electronics!

The Character Skills:

  • First Aid with Defibrillator Mod: You receive an instant heal followed by a heal-over-time. Can revive allies. For example, if you have 300,000 HP ally healing, they will receive 150,000 HP instantly and another 150,000 HP over a 10-second period.

With this build, you heal your allies directly, and they can jump back into battle while being continuously healed for a further 10 seconds.

  • First Aid with Immunizer Mod: Thanks to this skill and the high-end talents, you will mostly have overheal.
    division-first-aid

The Character Talents:

  • Adrenaline: The First Aid set heals for 10 seconds and does not stop healing when you take damage.
  • Triage: Heals an ally with a skill to reduce the cooldown time by 15%.
  • Field Medic: Use a First Aid kit near allies to heal group members within 20 meters by 40%.
  • Helper’s Death: Destroying a skill deployed by an enemy increases skill power by 20% for 30 seconds.

The Weapons of the Build

The weapon used is the Liberator with the talents Competent (Weapon damage is increased by 10% for 15 seconds after a skill is used) and Gifted (When you eliminate a target, skill power is increased by 15% for 20 seconds). A second weapon is an RPK-74 E black market version with talented.

By the way: Before you plunge into battle, you can eat canned food (consumable). These increase healing effects by 40%. In Last Stand, you receive all consumables back on every respawn.

This way, you achieve incredibly high healing effects and can use healing skills at short intervals.

Conan Exiles has great plans for the penis: trophies and hitboxes are to come

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Penises in Conan Exiles remain one of the top topics in the survival MMO. At GDC 2017, Funcom CEO Joe Bylos presented further concepts that they still have in mind regarding the anatomy.

Conan Mod 01

Joe Bylos, Creative Director at Funcom, spoke at GDC 2017 about many innovations in Conan Exiles, including the upcoming sieges, mounts, sorcery and of course penises! Whether someone had asked him a question about it – like in the case of a colleague from PCGamer – or not, Bylos seemed fascinated by the topic.

Conan Exiles – Penises – “Women think it’s long overdue, men find it funny”

According to Bylos, almost everyone wanted to talk to him about penises at GDC. “I think I’ll be known forever as the “penis guy,”” he remarked at the end of the PCGamer interview. The penises in Conan Exiles weren’t originally planned to be a “big thing.” They were just there, and no one expected the later prominence of the topic.

conan exiles screenshot

“I thought it would be good for a few laughs for five minutes,” Bylos said. “We thought maybe a few people would enjoy that and make use of full nudity. But then all the big streamers on Twitch suddenly started running around with exposed genitals.”

Meanwhile, it seems that very few people are upset about the penises. “Women probably think it’s long overdue for men to have a slider [for penis size] and men find it hilarious. It’s all good.”

Conan Exiles – The Future of the Penis

Since the swinging masculinity in Conan Exiles is so popular, Bylos wants to incorporate even more penis content in the future. For example, swinging anatomy currently does not have its own hitbox. They are more like a piece of clothing that cannot be specifically targeted.

conan exiles fight

Since other games with penis content (such as Rust) have hitboxes for genitals, this could easily be possible in Conan Exiles as well.

Bylos still wants to incorporate castrations into the game. His previous statement on the topic in an AMA thread on Reddit was quite serious. He envisions a trophy system: “If you kill someone, you can click on the corpse and select ‘Harvest Trophy’ to receive an ear, a penis, a foot, or a hand. But it won’t always be a penis, especially not with female corpses.”

Conan Exiles Avatar von Yog

According to Bylos, trophies obtained this way could be used to create decorations or jewelry. “I want to allow people to create a necklace made of penises that they can wear. Why not? That’s funny!”

The release of the last Mass Effect was almost 4 years ago and technology in computers has rapidly advanced since then. If you don’t want to play Mass Effect: Andromeda on PS4 or Xbox One but prefer the beloved PC, you should check your system beforehand. It could be possible that the PC may struggle with Andromeda.

What are the system requirements for Mass Effect: Andromeda?

The bad news first: Mass Effect: Andromeda is quite resource-hungry. If you’re only gaming with your computer on World of Warcraft or Hearthstone, you will inevitably need to upgrade. Here are the minimum system requirements:

  • Processor: Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-6350
  • RAM: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2 GB, AMD Radeon 7850 2 GB
  • Hard Disk Space: At least 55 GB of free space
  • DirectX: DirectX 11
mass effect anromeda new 2

For the game to run smoothly and at maximum settings, your PC needs to perform significantly better. Here are the recommended system requirements:

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Store bug leads to endless flood of credits

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the new online shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands, a bug in the game’s store causes a flood of credits: Free credits can (or could) be withdrawn endlessly.

A YouTube video and a post on Reddit are currently reporting on an unusual bug in Ghost Recon Wildlands: a bug in the store that leads to infinite credits.

The 800 bonus credits available to players who purchased the season pass could be requested endlessly. In the store, the offer to get the 800 credits for free simply remains available, even if the offer has already been taken.

The bug apparently occurs in the PlayStation Store.

Bug in PlayStation Store of Ghost Recon Wildlands leads to infinite credits – But be careful

On Reddit, the user of this “bug”, Question_of_Mind, said he received 50,000 credits this way from the PS Store. That amounts to about 115 euros. However, the bug has reportedly been fixed – at least for him. Such bugs “in favor of the player” usually don’t last long in the game, it is agreed.

Ghost-Recon-800

A warning: Since players can obtain credits worth “real money” in this way, one can certainly expect actions and sanctions from the publisher in such cases. Therefore, we advise against using this bug yourself, should it still work. This could lead to a ban or other problems. This is definitely not intended. And exploiting something like this is considered an exploit.

Even though the season pass is often viewed critically with new games, and publishers attach significant reliefs and bonuses to it to boost sales … the incentive to buy a season pass for Ghost Recon Wildlands should probably not be that great.

A store bug also occurred in For Honor, but it affected the players negatively. Ubisoft stated that it was a display error:

Destiny: Age of Triumph – Does the Gjallarhorn lose Arc damage?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, there are discussions about the Fatebringer. Will this weapon lose its Arc damage with Age of Triumph?

Yesterday, Bungie released a reveal teaser for the upcoming content update Age of Triumph. Two important pieces of information can be gleaned from this: First, there is now no doubt that old raids with their unique weapons will be returning. The Glassed Chamber was shown in the teaser along with the Fatebringer. Secondly, the largest triumph book ever will be introduced, designed to capture all of your greatest moments in Destiny.

Now the Guardians have taken a closer look at the teaser and made an interesting discovery that raises questions: Will the hand cannon Fatebringer lose its Arc damage?

Is a Fatebringer without Arc damage still a “Fatebringer”?

destiny-fate-vergleich

This comparison comes from the YouTuber Unknown Player:

On the left, the old Fatebringer can be seen: The weapon has blue highlights and it throws blue lightning towards the enemies – all signs that the weapon deals Arc damage.

The new weapon, however, which is seen in the trailer, has no blue highlights and no traces of blue lightning are visible upon a kill. Many Guardians are therefore convinced that the raid primary weapons with elemental damage will lose this characteristic when upgraded with “Age of Triumph”. However, there are also speculations that:

  • the weapon in the teaser is not the Fatebringer at all, but just a new weapon that looks similar (with one user on Twitter questioning whether the Fatebringer without Arc damage is still a Fatebringer)
  • only in this cinematic were the Arc effects omitted. In the game, it will still have “Arc Burn”.

Interestingly, there is also a tweet from the community manager DeeJ. He suggests that there will be discussions about the Fatebringer.

Currently, it seems that the Fatebringer will indeed lose its Arc damage. This feature distinguished the hand cannon – even in Year 1, primary weapons with elemental damage were rare and sought after. With its perks Outlaw, Explosive Rounds, and Fireball, it was long regarded as the strongest legendary hand cannon. Even today, Guardians are still looking for the Fatebringer roll for their Imago Loop.

New Triumph Book has 13 Pages

destiny-urkundenbuch-age

The Age of Triumph will introduce the largest triumph book in Destiny to date. The trailer briefly shows that it will consist of 13 pages. Additionally, there will likely be class-specific milestones. One page is called “Hunter’s Way” – so the path of the Hunter.

What do you think? Will the Fatebringer return without Arc damage? Tomorrow evening we will be wiser.

Black Desert Online: Wer braucht Zelda? Link in BDO spielen!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Black Desert Online has the best character editor that has ever existed in an online role-playing game. Meanwhile, some players have created heroes from the new Zelda game “Breath of the Wild” in Black Desert Online and shared them via template downloads. Check out the coolest and most successful Zelda heroes in BDO.

Black Desert Link 02

If you want to run around in Black Desert Online as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dragon Queen Daenerys, Jesus, or Heisenberg, you can do this with just a few clicks thanks to templates shared online. Black Desert Online offers not only the best character editor in the MMO genre, it also allows you to share your creations on databases like BDO-Templates (link in the source reference).

Black Desert Online – Zelda without Switch?

Thanks to the character editor and sharing players, there are now also numerous templates for the heroes from the new Zelda game “Breath of the Wild”. So, if you want to see Link, Zelda, and others, you no longer need to buy a Switch (even if the new Zelda is totally worth the money according to colleague Leya).

Black Desert Link 01

The current templates show several versions of Link. Unfortunately, there is a compromise that one has to make. Ideally, the warrior class suits Link as he fights with sword and shield, the traditional weapons of Link. Unfortunately, the warrior must always be a rather robust person, but Link is actually a delicate elf (or rather Hylian, but they look like classic elves).

Female Link? Only in Black Desert Online!

In Black Desert Online, there are of course also elves, but they are all female. Both the forest elf, who with her blonde mane already looks very much like Link, as well as the new dark elf are always women due to gender lock. However, you can create particularly beautiful Links from them, if you don’t mind that the Zelda hero then has breasts.

Black Desert Link 03

If you are not interested in the whole race and gender confusion, you can also create the rogue Ganondorf as a giant berserker. There is also a template for this in the BDO forum in the sources.

Black Desert Ganon 01

Also interesting: In our article on templates in Black Desert Online we’ve already presented templates for Arnie, Geralt, and Daenerys.

Diablo 3: Ban wave cleans up top of the rankings of Season 9

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard is very concerned about the fairness during the seasons of the hack ‘n slash Diablo 3. Therefore, it seems that a ban wave is currently taking place in the USA, which aims to clean up the ranking of the current Season 9.

Due to the fact that players are currently receiving significantly too much bonus to their class’s main attribute with increasing Paragon level in Diablo 3, and thus the damage they deal increases enormously, a bot problem has developed in the game. Botting has become even more popular through this system than it already was before.

Because this gives players an easy way to fight their way to the top ranks of the leaderboard. But that is not the point.

Diablo Set portal preview
Cheaters are being targeted if they are at the top of the leaderboard

As reported by the website Troupster, a ban wave is currently taking place, through which Blizzard wants to clean up the leaderboard of Season 9 of Diablo 3. At least 13 players are said to have been affected so far – players who stood at the top of the 4-player leaderboards. However, this is currently only the case in the USA.

The problem also exists in the European and Asian versions. Whether Blizzard will also act in this way here is currently uncertain, but one can actually assume so. However, it would also make sense to address the core problem and revise the Paragon system so that it can no longer be exploited in the mentioned way.

Season 10 is already on the starting blocks

Diablo 3 Xbox

Perhaps Blizzard is planning something like this for the upcoming Season 10. Because this is already in preparation and can be tested on the test realm of Diablo 3 including the upcoming Patch 2.5.0.

How Blizzard detects cheaters remains a mystery, but the bans are likely carried out manually, which suggests that the accounts are indeed checked beforehand. This does not indicate automated software. It is definitely good that Blizzard is taking action against cheaters in Diablo 3.

Gigantic: Crumbling Overwatch competitor still has money problems

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The studio Motiga is behind the hero shooter Gigantic. Originally, it was supposed to be released with a Microsoft deal in 2015. Now there are more layoffs. The launch is still far away, and the money is running out.

Gigantic is a hero shooter similar to Overwatch or Paladins. Unlike these games, Gigantic revolves around a giant monster: the player’s own must be protected, while the opponent’s must be taken down. Unlike Paladins and Overwatch, Gigantic has also had serious problems for years; it is stuck in development.

First Microsoft, then difficulties

Gigantic has been in financial trouble for some time. This is likely due to Microsoft withdrawing from a publishing deal; originally, Gigantic was intended to be a “Windows 10” and “Xbox One” exclusive game.

In 2015, Gigantic was still announced as a partnership between the indie studio Motiga and the giant Microsoft. The hero shooter was also supposed to be released in 2015, it was said back then. But that has all completely fallen through.

Giganic-Charnok

Now Gigantic is behind schedule and the money before the launch is simply too tight. Although the studio Motiga is supported by the publisher “Perfect World” as of May 2016, the release is still a long way off. The launch of Gigantic is currently scheduled for the second quarter of 2017, so there are still 1-4 months to go.

To survive the time until launch (and hopefully until the then flowing revenues), Motiga has now laid off 15 of its 82 employees. It is said that one must reduce the “burn rate,” that is, the speed at which one loses money. CEO Chris Chung tells the site Destructoid that the layoffs relate to the “Business and Operation” departments. The layoffs would not affect the launch on the Arc platform.

Heroes of the Storm: Probius in the Spotlight – Elite Probe with Burst Damage

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

There is more story behind Probius than you might think. The spotlight trailer reveals everything about the new hero of Heroes of the Storm.

Several days ago, Blizzard introduced the next hero for Heroes of the Storm, and many were surprised. The little Protoss probe Probius is set to be the next hero. Probius hails from the StarCraft 2 universe and has even held a special job there. In the fight for the reclamation of Aiur, it was Probius who bravely warped in the important pylon that subsequently enabled the reclamation.

In Heroes of the Storm, Probius is a rather fragile specialist who can warp in Protoss structures and otherwise controls the battlefield. Blizzard has released a new “Spotlight” trailer that introduces him in more detail.

Overwatch: Orisa – The direct counter for the new Bastion meta

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Overwatch ‘s biggest problem is an omnic named Bastion. But that will take care of itself when the new hero Orisa is released.

Currently, Overwatch has become a “bit” monotonous, as most matches revolve around either killing the opposing Bastion or protecting your own Bastion to do the rest of the work. Although Bastion is obviously too strong – and will soon be nerfed again – there is hope on the horizon. The new hero Orisa seems to be the perfect counter to ruin Bastions and the protecting team’s day.

Link to the YouTube content

Orisa is literally the hero we have all been waiting for. Although all her mechanics are not new and exist in similar (or even the same) form with other heroes, she is a good mix of various useful abilities.

  • Her Barrier is weaker than Reinhardt’s, but a bit more flexible as it can be used from a distance. This way, a Bastion can be “intimidated” from multiple directions.
  • The range of her weapons is greater than that of any other tanks. Additionally, her damage is considerable and quickly takes out “weak” characters. Unlike Zarya, Winston, and Reinhardt, she can also deal headshots. Although she is a tank, she can relatively quickly take out barriers that often protect a Bastion.
  • The “Mini-Graviton Surge“, which temporarily binds enemies to one point, is incredibly valuable. It can pull enemies around corners, separate them from the group, or bunch all enemies together for an area attack. Particularly important: Even a Bastion in the configuration: Sentry can be pulled in.
  • Her ultimate ability, a generator that increases the damage of all nearby allies, will be immensely important in quickly turning group fights and is gold in both offensive and defensive situations. Barriers fall faster, and thus does the protective shield in front of our most hated omnic.
    Overwatch Orisa Highlight

Despite all these things, Orisa alone is not an effective hero. She struggles to win duels and is almost always reliant on a healer, but is hard to replace then. But that is exactly what an “anchor” is supposed to do – gather the team around them, and surely there is one or another healer among them.

Currently, Orisa is still on the PTR, but it won’t be long until she is released. I have high hopes that the current problems in Overwatch will largely resolve themselves automatically. We just need a release date for Orisa.

When Orisa arrives, Bastion will be nerfed in the same patch anyway – so the Bastion problem should be solved either way. Either by the nerf hammer or by the Orisa counter.

Maintaining a skill rating is now harder in Overwatch – it decays in just a few days!

WildStar: Free Level 50 Character for the Release of the Urmatrix Update!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

WildStar offers you not only a new update with a new progression system and instances. Those who do not have a hero at level 50, or do not have the right one, can get a fully equipped endgame hero for free at the release of the update.

WildStar Primal Matrix

WildStar is far from dead and continues to expand steadily. Therefore, on March 8, the “Secret of the Primordial Matrix” as a new update will also come. In it, you will receive a new form of character progression by collecting essences in instances, unlocking new skills and powers. To make the essence hunt not boring, the developers are also providing a new dungeon and another expedition.

WildStar: New Entry into the Endgame

These cool new features are only interesting for the endgame of WildStar, and for that, you need a hero at level 50, the maximum level. Those who do not have a character at level 50 or want to start a new twink can be happy. In the context of the “Frenetic 50” event from March 8 to March 13 at 8:59 (CET), the developers are giving you one (!) free hero at level 50.

WildStar Free2Play

This hero differs from the 50s boosts available for real money so far. You will receive the following items:

  • A complete equipment set for the respective damage dealer variant, which is already equipped
  • A tank or healer gear set, depending on what spec your chosen class allows
  • All rewards of the chosen path in a bag
  • An appropriate mount
  • A housing plot that has already been unlocked
  • A teleport to the capital

The free hero can only be redeemed once per account, and once you have made your choice, you cannot change it back. So choose wisely!

Black Desert Online: Dark Blade at Level 50 without Grind – With Video!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The Dark Knight has finally arrived in Black Desert Online and our colleague Refaser has already reached level 50. His video of the endgame gameplay of the Dark Elf explains how the new character plays at level 50.

blackdesertdarkknight

The long-awaited Dark Elf, temporarily known as Dark Knight and now localized as Dark Knight, has been playable since March 1 and a week later, some players have already leveled the dark elf significantly. YouTuber Refaser has also eagerly wielded his sword and brought his blood-red killer elf to level 50 without any grind.

Leveling without grind!

When Refaser began his career as an elf warrior, he rightly feared the notorious grind. However, this was not the case. The developers at Kakao Games had adjusted the Black Spirit quests, the story tasks of BDO, so that they ideally guide you through the game.

DarkKnight05

Therefore, the Spirit quests and a few side quests along the way are completely sufficient to effortlessly level the elf to 50. Towards the end, there was a real challenge as the final Spirit quests up to level 50 were a bit tougher than usual.

The Dark Knight – Melee Hacker with Stamina Issues

The gameplay of the Dark Knight is still very much to Refaser’s liking. She is an extremely agile character who deals devastating area damage in melee and inflicts damage from a distance with magic. Refaser liked the latter less, so he focused entirely on melee combat. In his embedded video, he describes the dark elf as a mix between a ninja and a dark sorceress.

One problem with the elf, however, is her mobility. While she swiftly darts between enemies, she uses up her magic resource for that. So if you want to engage enemies that are too far away, you might exhaust all your strength and need to recharge. You can forget your powerful attacks in the meantime.

Run, don’t cast

Therefore, it makes more sense to sheathe the weapon and get to the enemy “normally” by sprinting with stamina. However, when enemies are close together, the elf is a deadly whirling dervish who jumps between foes and hacks them all to pieces. Also cool: the Dark Knight can block attacks and execute counters.

By the way, Refaser plans to continue playing the Dark Knight in the future and to obtain the awakening weapon as soon as it is available.

Steam hit Blackwake: Competition to Sea of Thieves now playable

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Pirate scenario fans are already looking forward to the online game Sea of Thieves. However, a competing product called Blackwake is already available in Early Access.

Currently, a game called Blackwake is climbing high in the Steam charts. An online pirate game that sails in the same waters as Rare’s upcoming game Sea of Thieves. Has Rare now received serious competition and is being overtaken by this?

Even though both games are similar in some aspects, there are significant differences.

blackwake cannon
Naval battles with a seasoned crew

In both games, it is necessary to hire a crew made up of other players. Each crew member has a specific task on the large ships. In both online games, players must man the cannons, and a helmsman is needed. When boarding occurs in Sea of Thieves, players reach for their sabers and pistols and engage in a heated battle. Boarding is also possible in Blackwake, and as seen in the game’s trailer, things can get quite chaotic – and brutal.

However, while Blackwake focuses on naval battles, Sea of Thieves aims to offer even more. There’s also island exploration, fighting undead, and treasure hunting. There are supposed to be quests that lead you from island to island, and there must be a celebration among pirates with lots of grog. Additionally, there’s the graphic style. Blackwake maintains a very “realistic” look, while Rare opts for a humorous and colorful comic style in Sea of Thieves.

Two similar games that differ from each other

In Blackwake, the captain is chosen before each match. In these battles, you either fight against another ship or in 3-vs-3 battles. Those who prove themselves as captain might get votes again for the next match. In Sea of Thieves, anyone can be the captain, but it is also advisable to appoint a crew member for this role.

If you want to know how Blackwake plays, you can participate in the Early Access phase for €19.99. In contrast, Sea of Thieves occasionally holds technical alphas, for which you can apply on the official website.

Andreas says:

Although both Sea of Thieves and Blackwake deal with the pirate theme and feature naval battles, the titles differ significantly. Blackwake is a pure naval combat online game where players must form a strong crew to compete against other ships. In Sea of Thieves, however, you get more opportunities beyond naval battles and can explore islands, dig up treasures, and celebrate with your enemies.

Thus, Sea of Thieves is aimed more at those who prefer a kind of MMO – even if there will not be thousands of players per server. While Blackwake could be more described as a kind of pirate World of Warships.

In the trailer, your deeds are praised: You have led us into a new age of triumph. To honor this, this update introduces the largest triumph seal yet, which will feature numerous achievements to master.

Additionally, you will relive your most beautiful moments from the past. Scenes from the Vault of Glass (VoG) will be shown.

At the end, the narrator says: Thank you, Guardian. And we will never forget! Emphasizing “never”.

No more doubts about the return of the old raids

This trailer is another (clear) indication that the old raids are returning, that they will be upgraded. If any Guardian had any doubts, those should be dispelled by now.

Months ago, the community speculated that the live team was working on the old raids for spring 2017. The reason was a statement from the “Rise of Iron” head Chris Barret, who confirmed that this wish has always been present, that they want to listen to the fans, and that a remake of the old raids is absolutely being considered for the future.

Not only is the Vault of Glass returning, but the other raids will also play a role in Age of Triumph, as indicated by the milestones listed in the trailer: Here it mentions Doom of Oryx (likely the King’s Fall raid) and In the Dark (likely the Crota raid).

Next Wednesday we will know more. We at Mein-MMO will accompany the stream with a live ticker.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Launch-Trailer mit Wumms und schweren Waffen

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

With this launch trailer for Ghost Recon Wildlands, Ubisoft prepares you for your next adventures as ghosts. Expect a lot of action! We have the launch trailer in German.

Before Ghost Recon Wildlands is officially released tomorrow, Ubisoft shows you in the launch trailer what the game is about. You’ll get to know your enemies in the video and get hints as to why these individuals are involved in the drug trade. Parachuting from helicopters is just as much a part of the tactical shooter as sneaking up on enemies to take them down silently.

Heavy Weapons in Single Player and Co-op Mode

Accompanied by a lot of action, you’ll dive into the world of Ghost Recon Wildlands in the video. Miniguns and grenade launchers are your weapons against enemies from the Santa Blanca drug cartel. You decide whether to undertake your adventures in single-player mode with the help of AI teammates, or whether to utilize the co-op option of Wildlands. In multiplayer mode, you can form teams of up to four players and solve story-driven and side missions together.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Screenshot Combat

Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can complete missions loudly and with a bang, or quietly in stealth mode without drawing much attention. If the silent approach doesn’t work, you grab your shotguns and assault rifles instead and clear your way.

While some players report that they can already play Ghost Recon Wildlands, the official launch of the game is only happening tonight. So far, it seems that players who purchased Wildlands as a DVD version and not a digital version are eligible for the early start. Owners of Steam versions will have to wait longer for the start than players on Uplay.

The first reviews of Ghost Recon Wildlands are quite positive.

At Bungie, the community manager Cozmo is responsible for presenting the “Movies of the Week”. Every Guardian who participated in the winning videos receives an exclusive emblem, with which they can show off in-game: “Look at what I’ve accomplished!” The title “Video of the Week” this week went to an outstanding performance by a fireteam, about which we reported last week. They completed the Nightfall strike “The Monstrous Heist” in under three minutes. An insane speedrun, where no cheats were used:

Conan Exiles: Swinging Penis on the Xbox One? Microsoft says “No”

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Conan Exiles is famous and notorious for its wildly flopping penises. However, friends of mighty powers will not find satisfaction on the planned Xbox version.

Conan Exiles and penises are two topics that are hard to separate. Because although other survival games like Rust showcased bare masculinity, Conan Exiles was the first game to offer its own sliders for the genitals.

conan-exiles-kreuz

The enthusiasm for penises at Funcom began with a commission to Jenni Saarinen. She is responsible for the models and graphics at Funcom. Shortly after the commission, she had “reference material” on her screen for three weeks. Allegedly, this was amusing for everyone.

Conan Exiles: No sausage party on the Xbox

Those who were eagerly anticipating freely flopping genitals at the release of the Conan Exiles version for Xbox One might have gotten their hopes up too soon.

At GDC, Funcom CEO Joel Bylos stated that they could probably only show “partial nudity” on the console. This option leaves the chest of both men and women exposed but covers the genital area with a non-removable loincloth. Naked breasts have not been a problem in other games, so Funcom assumes that Microsoft will allow this.

Conan-Exiles-Frau-Kreuz

However, with wildly flopping penises, the situation seems to be different, and Funcom stated that Microsoft had been quite clear that such things could not be allowed. A statement from Sony regarding the also planned PS4 version of Conan Exiles is still pending, but a similar measure is expected there too. So, no option for full nudity and free penises for console gamers.

Also interesting: Conan Exiles – Mod allows gigantic penis!

What do you think about Microsoft’s “No-Penis” stance? Reasonable, since the console is supposed to be family-friendly, or an outrageous censorship of a wonderful work of art? Let us know and write it in the comments.
