The best PS4 headsets – These are the bestsellers

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

If you want to play online games on the PlayStation 4 optimally, a headset with a microphone is essential. This is the only way to ensure proper communication with your teammates. But which PS4 headsets are suitable for Sony’s console and how do you connect them to the PS4?

No matter if you’re playing multiplayer shooters like Ghost Recon Wildlands or Battlefield 1 or immersing yourself in MMORGs like Star Trek Online or The Elder Scrolls Online: Without a headset, you face significant disadvantages in communicating with your team. And if you don’t have bulky speakers or can’t use them due to noise-sensitive roommates or partners, you can still enjoy amazing sound directly in your ears via 7.1 surround headsets.

Headsets PlayStation 4 – Wireless, Closed, 5.1 or 7.1 Surround? What should I consider when buying?

Not all headsets are created equal; there are many differences. In the following list, you will learn, among other things, the advantages and disadvantages of wireless headsets and what the deal is with closed ear cups.

  • Wired headsets are cheaper and more reliable than wireless devices. However, there’s always an unsightly cable in the way.
  • Wireless headsets have no annoying cord, but they draw their power from internal batteries. These don’t last forever and need to be charged regularly. It’s frustrating when you’re in the middle of a game and suddenly run out of power. Additionally, wireless headsets are usually more expensive and heavier than their wired counterparts. Some wireless headsets may experience delays in sound playback.
  • Surround headsets are usually better than regular stereo headphones since they play sounds in relation to their source, allowing you to hear when a sneaky enemy approaches from behind or when gunshots come from the right. However, be advised: 5.1 or 7.1 in headphones is purely a marketing tactic. Unlike a high-quality surround system that distributes a corresponding number of speakers throughout the room, surround headsets merely simulate surround sound; 5.1 and 7.1 refer to the number of audio channels used.
  • Very important is the wearing comfort, especially for long-term use. Because no matter how great the headset is technically, if your head or ears hurt after half an hour, it’s pointless. Ideal headsets should generously enclose the ear, thus shielding outside noises and preventing the game sound from escaping and disturbing your partner, roommates, or pets.
  • The microphone is an important selection factor for headsets. It should be adjustable and deliver good quality. Ideally, the headset has a mute button so you can quickly turn it off if, for example, your partner barges into the room yelling, and you don’t want your gamer friends to witness the drama.

Darn, where do I connect a PC headset to the PS4?

Standard headphones, like the shabby included in-ear mono devices, simply plug into the 3.5 mm jack on your controller. However, most headsets have two plugs, one for the headphones and one for the microphone. But you can only connect one of them to the DualShock. Does that mean you can either only talk or listen and have to keep switching?

By no means, as a simple adapter plug for just under 5 euros can solve the issue. Just make sure that the adapter plug has three and not two notches. Otherwise, your microphone won’t work. Alternatively, you can also connect the headset directly to the console via USB dongle.

Especially wireless headphones utilize this technology. But no matter how you do it, thanks to the 3.5 mm jack or USB port, you can connect all PC-compatible headsets to your console.

Are we getting Lost Ark earlier because South Korea is afraid of the atomic bomb?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Mein MMO believes: It is indeed peculiar when world politics impacts the gaming industry in this way.

More about the “licenses” in China and the difficulties associated with them:

Censorship – China bans streams of games that are not “approved”

The booming mobile game industry in Korea is also likely to be affected by these new difficulties.

Mein MMO believes: It is indeed peculiar when world politics impacts the gaming industry in this way.

Censorship – China bans streams of games that are not “approved”

Games from South Korea may face difficulties entering the Chinese market in the future. This could lead to the western market becoming more important for South Korean publishers, and games like Lost Ark arriving earlier to us.

The South Korean MMO giant Nexon (Vindictus, Elsword) saw a drop of 7% at the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Tuesday, writes Nikkei Asian. This is because China has frozen the issuance of new licenses for South Korean games.

In order to distribute a game in China, a license is needed, which is tied to certain conditions: Publishers need the “okay” from the Chinese government if they want to make money in China.

This has already led to various conflicts. For example, Blizzard had to cover “bones” of the undead in Diablo 3 because displaying bare bones is considered taboo in China.

Diablo3-Skeleton

In general, it is believed that the freezing of new licenses is China’s response to South Korea installing a U.S. Army missile defense system: the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, abbreviated THAAD. According to the South Korean government, it is being deployed to protect against North Korean nuclear and weapons of mass destruction. China believes that the installation of this system could jeopardize stability on the Korean Peninsula.

These “licensing issues” affect games that are developed in South Korea and are intended for export to China. Games that already have such a license are not affected.

China bans South Korean games due to military conflict – What does this mean?

Due to China’s decision, there could also be some shifts in the MMO market. Recently, the West has slipped further down the priority list for South Korean publishers and has become less important.

This means that fans are currently waiting much longer for the “great games” because they come to China and Russia first rather than to us in Europe and North America.

KuF2-Skeleton Dragon
Even Kingdom under Fire II, the most expensive Korea MMO, comes to China first, then to Russia, and only then to the West.

The Chinese market has become increasingly important for Korea MMOs. Games like the highly anticipated Lost Ark have recently targeted the Chinese market as their primary focus; imports to the West have not been prioritized and, in the case of Lost Ark, have not even been announced. This may change with this shift in China. If China becomes unavailable as a market for South Korea, the West may come back into focus.

However,Lost Ark will still take a while to even be released in South Korea.

The booming mobile game industry in Korea is also likely to be affected by these new difficulties.

WoW: Legionsfall – Die Belohnungen der neuen Fraktion in Patch 7.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new WoW faction in Patch 7.2 has many rewards. The Armies of Legionfall have some goodies for diligent players.

With the next patch, there will be plenty to do in World of Warcraft again. A large part of the action takes place on the Broken Shore, the island where the Tomb of Sargeras stands. However, it won’t be straight into the raid from day one; instead, some time must be spent questing for the “Armies of Legionfall” to conquer the island piece by piece.

As is common in WoW, this happens in the form of a new reputation faction, where the affection of the NPCs must be earned.

WoW Legionfall Banner huge
All classes are represented on the Legionfall banner.

The colleagues at wowhead have created a small preview showing the reputation rewards and prices that are set for the individual items.

  • From friendly:
    • Cauterizing Void Shard (5,000 Nether Shards) – A reusable item that heals the player for a large amount and then deals moderate damage over 12 seconds.
    • Legionfall Banner (4,000 Nether Shards) – A decorative banner of the Armies of Legionfall.
  • From revered:
    • Legion Pocket Portal (7,500 Nether Shards) – A toy that creates a “dangerous portal of the Legion”.
    • Repurposed Fel Focuser (7,500 Nether Shards) – A reusable item that increases all attributes by 500 and acts like a potion.
  • From exalted:
    • Legion Invasion Simulator (25,000 Nether Shards) – A toy that allows you to control a miniature version of a Legion invasion ship.
    • Legion Fall Tabard (10,000 Nether Shards) – The matching tabard of the Armies of Legionfall.
WoW Legion Flyer

The Nether Shards are likely to remind some players of the invasions from the pre-event of Legion. They are now available for various activities on the Broken Shore – quite similar to the way Apex Shards were in the Tanaan Jungle back then.

Aside from that, the faction is also important for completing the achievement “Pathfinder of the Broken Isles (Part 2)”, which ultimately allows flying on the Broken Isles.

Please note that the costs and rewards are still tentative. Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” is currently still being tested.

The images used are from wowhead (see source).

Although there is already heated discussion about Patch 7.2, the last bits of content from 7.1.5 have only just gone live – Gul’dan is now also available in LFR.

For Honor: Gear balancing is coming, “Leaver” will soon receive penalties

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In For Honor, Ubisoft discusses upcoming measures against AFK players and leavers. Additionally, gear and gear stats adjustments are on the horizon.

Days after the launch of For Honor, initial complaints about the endgame appeared in the forums, gradually growing louder: The high-level armor pieces were deemed too powerful and led to extremely unbalanced battles.

for honor valkyrie

Especially the revenge builds are under criticism: With the right gear, you only have to block a few hits before you can trigger the revenge boost. According to dissatisfied players, this has nothing to do with the actual combat system; when revenge kicks in every few seconds – even in 1v1 matches – it’s no fun.

Balance adjustments are planned

In a recent livestream, the developers acknowledged that some of the gear stats are more powerful than they should be. They have started the work of rebalancing the gear and gear stats. However, internal tests are necessary before the changes can go live.

for honor legendary

Furthermore, in the future, the equipment stats will be considered in matchmaking. When these changes will be implemented is still unknown. Ubisoft mentions “soon”.

AFK detection and penalties for leavers

In the fight against AFK players, the developers plan to implement better “detection protocols” – that is, better ways to identify players who seek to gain unfair advantages and impair the experience of others. The new AFK detection should be able to recognize whether players are actually playing or not. We have already reported on the penalties that AFK farmers receive.

In addition to AFK detection, the developers are introducing penalties for leavers. So if you leave a match early in For Honor, there will be consequences, although details are not yet available. The penalties for leavers will only be implemented once the AFK detection is functioning properly.

Just a few hours ago, an “Easy AntiCheat” update was deployed, which included better detection of key scripts (autoblock cheats).

Overwatch: AFK farming forbidden – Kaplan “disappointed” by community

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Farming experience points on “AFK servers” of Overwatch became too much. Now Kaplan is speaking clear, harsh words.

Just yesterday we reported that some players in Overwatch tend to find lobbies in “Custom Games” where all the players are afk. The goal of these matches is not the game itself, but just to earn experience points without actually playing. Until today, we speculated whether Blizzard tolerates this behavior, now Game Director Jeff Kaplan gave a clear statement about it.

The answer is clear: Those who want to obtain afk experience points risk hefty account penalties!

In a long post in the official forum, Kaplan states:

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Game Director

“We knew there was the potential to abuse this feature, but we wanted to give everyone a fair chance before we became too restrictive with the system. It is very disappointing for us that some players have exploited the system to collect inactive experience points.”

In response, a hotfix was deployed that now marks players as afk in “Skirmish” matches after a while and exits the game. But Kaplan writes even more:

“I have seen some discussions in the community under the assumption that this is a gray area. Is it forbidden or okay? Well, let me take this gray area and color it clearly black and white. Exploiting Custom Games or any other game mode to accumulate experience points while being inactive is NOT okay. I say this very clearly because we will now start implementing disciplinary measures against people who exploit this. If you create your own game and encourage players in any way to collect experience points through inactivity, you risk having your account suspended.”

overwatch mei

It is also important that no humor is allowed there. Anyone who names their server just “for fun” risks penalties as well.

It is already possible to report servers. If you discover such an afk server, you should do so immediately to help the support team.

At the end of his post, Kaplan even indirectly “threatens” and hopes that the community prevents Blizzard from having to turn off experience points in Custom Games again.

“We, just like the majority of people who use the feature as we intended, do not want experience points to disappear. Please help us here.”

Fans will also have to wait a while for the new hero Orisa.

The Division: Server maintenance on March 9 – Issues in Last Stand will be fixed

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on March 9th, there is a server maintenance for The Division. The servers are down for several hours, with fixes and improvements coming in the “Last Stand” mode.

Update: There will be another server downtime tonight. The servers are expected to become more stable. The information is in the link.

Regular maintenance is taking place today, Thursday. Every Thursday, the developers take the servers down, work in the background on the servers, and occasionally deploy bug fixes, balancing patches, and error corrections. Especially in the first weeks after a major update, problem resolutions come weekly. As is the case today.

  • At 9:30 AM our time, the servers will go offline. The estimated downtime is three hours. You can return to the fray around 12:30 PM.
    division-agenten-last

Changelog on March 9th

What changes with today’s maintenance? Massive reports three new features, all related to the PvP mode “Last Stand”:

  • A bug is being fixed that allowed players to gain points through healing skills in Last Stand.
  • A bug is being addressed that sometimes placed you in full sessions in Last Stand.
  • The matchmaking in Last Stand is being improved: The priority for matching you with players from the same geographical region is being increased.
    division-agenten-last

The first bug fix addresses a problem that agents have been complaining about for days. This concerns a glitch that granted users a ton of points and thus countless loot crates. Some claimed that “Last Stand” was unplayable because of this. Massive responded that a solution would come as soon as possible. Today, Thursday, it has arrived.

State of the Game on March 9th

Update: The SotG has just been canceled for today.

Today, the State of the Game is also taking place, the weekly report from Massive. This was confirmed in yesterday’s special report. You can watch this livestream on The Division’s Twitch channel from 5 PM. We will report on it in a timely manner.

Yesterday, the developers talked about Year 2 of The Division. You can find all the information here.

Reinvented Wildstar – Urmatrix Update and Free Endgame Hero Live

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on March 8, 2017, the big Urmatrix update for Wildstar finally begins. To help you get started with the optimal hero, you receive a free level 50 hero.

The new Urmatrix update for Wildstar brings a whole new way to rebuild your hero in the endgame. Until now, level 50 was the limit, and you could only improve through better equipment. However, with the power of the Urmatrix, your heroes will recognize their true potential. Thanks to the help of Drusera, starting today, March 8, 2017, you can collect various essences of the Urmatrix in dungeons.

Wildstar Urmatrix – How to level up further

The Urmatrix is a collection of nodes that somewhat resemble the progress atlas from Skyforge . As in My.com’s god MMO, you collect different colored essences in WildStar and gradually unlock the nodes of the corresponding color. This way you gain powerful new skills and bonuses that make you even stronger.

WildStar-Matrix

You will receive the necessary essences from dungeons, from which regularly selected specimens are chosen to provide special bonuses of essences. Additionally, there are two new dungeons. To start, you will get a new expedition that leads you to a Mordesh ghost ship full of space zombies.

WildStar Primal Matrix Boss

An even tougher challenge awaits you in a new dungeon, where it is once again against Harizog Coldheart from Arkterra. Additionally, you can adjust old dungeons to be even harder.

Fresh start at max level

If you want to try all these innovations with a new hero, you can still create a new level 50 hero completely equipped for both specs for free until March 13 at 08:59 AM. This way you can play a new role without having to twink, or you can jump straight into the endgame if you’re new to Wildstar.

Ion: Weltraum-MMO des DayZ-Erfinders ist tot

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Dean Hall is well known as the developer behind the zombie online game DayZ. He no longer has any involvement with it, as he wanted to create a large space sandbox called Ion. However, that will not happen either.

Dean Hall apparently had enough of zombies when he left the developer studio Bohemia Interactive at the end of 2014 and founded the indie studio RocketWerkz. With a new team, he wanted to tackle an ambitious project. Ion was to become a space sandbox MMO, which aimed to offer players virtually endless possibilities. It was described as a mix between Minecraft and EVE Online with an isometric, Diablo-like perspective and organ simulation.

ion teaser 2
Without organs, no one can live

The characters’ organs were to have real functions. For example, if one’s brain was shot away, they should also not be able to do anything. Having only one lung would make breathing difficult, and so on. Apparently, it would have been possible to replace the organs.

The technology behind the game was supposed to be provided by the developer studio Improbable, which also provided the technology behind the MMO Worlds Adrift. Because a huge galaxy was supposed to be simulated that players could explore.

No one is working on Ion

But now no one is working on Ion anymore. Dan Hall and RocketWerkz are currently developing other games, and Improbable is no longer involved either. This apparently means the end of the project, as Dean Hall also confirmed that there are currently no works taking place on Ion. According to him, it is not possible to realize the ambitious game without the help of Improbable and their technology. However, he prefers when players are angry at him for not releasing a game than to release a game that neither he nor the fans are satisfied with.

It is simply normal that games are announced, paused, or canceled. That probably means we will not get to see the ambitious space MMO.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: So wurde GRW seit der Beta verbessert

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Ghost Recon Wildlands did not exactly create enthusiasm during the beta. The good news is that the developers have made several improvements since then. Read here how the Day-One patches have changed the tactical shooter, especially on PC.

Many players of Ghost Recon Wildlands were not enthusiastic about the beta of the tactical shooter and begged Ubisoft, “Please delay the game! Don’t release it like this, for God’s sake!” Ubisoft did not do anything like that, but the final result has significantly improved – especially on the PC version – since the beta. What is the reason?

https://youtu.be/0Mm8VphsZ80

Ghost Recon Wildlands – Day-One patches brought many fixes

The reason for the better gameplay experience of the release version is two large Day-One patches of over 3 gigabytes that were implemented into the game on the release day. These patches were initially described only as performance and visual improvements for weather and climate. In reality, however, there is much more, although many of the changes only apply to PC for now.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Screenshot Combat

This is because no one on PC prevents Ubisoft from releasing new content while developers on PS4 and Xbox One always have to subject new patches to a review process by Sony or Microsoft. But enough of the preamble, here are the patch notes for the Day-One updates of Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Ghost Recon Wildlands – Improvements to the PC version

  • Improvements to vehicles
  • Debug and improvements in ramming
  • Debug in deconstruction
  • Graphic glitches have been fixed
  • Various multi-GPU graphics errors have been cleaned up
  • Stability has been improved
  • Performance and graphics have been optimized
  • Fewer crashes
  • Improved player experience:
  • Smoother gameplay
  • Weapon optimizations
  • Optimization of PC controls
  • Optimization of anti-cheat software

Improvements to gameplay and missions

  • Diverse obstacles to progress and disturbances of immersion have been fixed

Improvements to coop and connectivity

  • Various fixes in coop concerning mission synchronization and online mechanisms

Improvements to the player experience

  • Improvements to vehicles
  • Debug and improvements in ramming
  • Debug in deconstruction
  • Graphic glitches have been fixed
  • Weapon optimizations
  • Improvements to the lobby, the TacMap, and cartel overview
  • New pop-ups for gameplay progress display

Improvements to stability

  • Fewer crashes
  • Performance improvements
  • Frame rate improvements

The Division Year 2 is confirmed! With three major innovations

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

It is now official for The Division: There will be a Year 2! This brings three important innovations.

Recently, the livestream for the one-year anniversary of The Division took place. The Shared-World-Shooter was released on March 8, 2016. For the birthday celebration, Massive held a livestream, a special report where they spoke about the future: about Year 2!

Year 2 brings Events, Loadouts, and Feats

Right away, the most important information: All content coming in Year 2 will be free! It will be released on all platforms simultaneously. There is neither time exclusivity nor a season pass.

In total, two expansions will come this year. The first is expected to be released in the summer, likely in July or August. However, there will be further updates, bug fixes, and balance adjustments throughout the year.

division-agent-dark

The goal that the developers are pursuing in Year 2 is a fun and balanced gameplay experience for the agents. Generosity, fun, and “repeatability” are emphasized. They want to achieve this through three innovations.

Seasons – The Events in The Division Year 2

The events coming in Year 2 are referred to as “Seasons”. These are playlists of activities that are constantly modified with modifiers. For example, you have to eliminate enemies at close range to deal more damage to them. From a greater distance, you deal hardly any damage. The developers can also change the meta with the modifiers, so you have to rethink your builds each time and adjust them to the new challenges.

There are rewards just for participation, but also for your performance in these events. If you are particularly good, special rewards await you. There will be leaderboards.

Loadouts are coming

Loadouts are coming! With this, you can save your builds and switch between them with one click. In total, there will be 6 loadout slots that you can access through the inventory. These can be adjusted and revised at any time. Loadouts save your equipment, talents, and chosen skills.

division loadouts

The loadouts will appear with the first expansion in the summer.

Feats are coming

Additionally, a new feature provisionally called “Feats” is coming. These are in-game rewards that you receive when you achieve something absolutely great. You can then equip this reward to your character and show it off in-game to other players: Look, this is what I have already achieved!

division-last-stand-agenten

These feats serve as a reward for great achievements, but also as a checklist. An example given: If you master all three missions on Legendary, there is a reward.

Information about the story in Year 2: The developers know that players are craving a continuation of the story. They are trying to incorporate as many narrative elements as possible into Year 2. The second expansion, in particular, is supposed to deliver this content.

Gifts for the Birthday

Additionally, the developers thank everyone who played The Division in Year 1 during the stream. The community has had an enormous influence on the developers, who have gone through a huge learning process. The agency is very passionate, and they are excited that there will be a Year 2.

division-emote

For the birthday, there are also gifts. If you log in from March 9 to March 16, you will receive a free emote where you raise your fist in the air, and 200 premium credits.

Also, starting tomorrow, events will begin where you will receive double rewards for HVTs and double operational performance containers.

Important: Tomorrow the fatal glitch in “Last Stand” will be fixed.

What do you think about these announcements?

Overwatch: Where is Orisa? “She still needs it”, says Kaplan

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

All Overwatch fans are waiting for the new hero Orisa. But she is not as ready as players would like.

The latest hero in Overwatch will be Orisa: an Omnic built from the remnants of an old OR-15 unit by the prodigy Efi Oladele. She has been available on the PTR for a while now, and many had hoped she would have already arrived on the live servers – but she has not.

Overwatch Orisa Highlight

In the past, new heroes in Overwatch – like Ana and Sombra – were always tested on the PTR for only a few days before being released to the larger player base. Orisa is an exception here, as the developers apparently are still not completely satisfied with the Omnic lady. The latest update from the PTR has caused her to undergo some nerfs. Her magazine size has been reduced, and the charge time for her ultimate ability has been increased.

In the official forum, Jeff Kaplan commented and explained that Orisa will likely be released “later this month”.

“Just to clarify, we are keeping Orisa on the PTR for a while longer. We are getting great feedback and fixing many issues. I know this feels longer than the other PTRs, but we believe this will lead to a better outcome. We know how much you are looking forward to Orisa joining the other heroes … and she will soon … but probably not until later this month and not early.”

Orisa-Efi

No concrete release date for Orisa has been mentioned by Kaplan yet, but at least “March” is still on schedule.

At least players on PC can currently check out Orisa themselves and simply visit the PTR to get a first impression of the new tank. Gamers on PS4 and Xbox One, on the other hand, will have to wait further.

Currently, many players are farming loot boxes – while they are afk. The server browser makes it possible.

Destiny: All 4 Raids with 390 Light Level and Special Challenges

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 5 minutes

In the SF-MMO shooter Destiny, Bungie is presenting the Age of Triumph in a stream tonight, the new update. We will live-ticker in German.

At Bungie, nothing happens without being presented in a live stream that is announced multiple times. And if they need a live stream for a simple balancing update, then there will be three for a “real” content update. If Bungie ever decides to present Destiny 2 in live streams, they will definitely stream every Wednesday for a quarter of a year. May the Traveler be with us.

But that is still a long way off; the spring update is just around the corner. It is expected on March 28.

Today, Wednesday, March 8th, the first live stream about “Age of Triumph” starts around 7 PM our time. This will be the final patch for Destiny 1, before moving on to Destiny 2 in the fall. This evening, the general contents of the free patch will likely be presented before details are discussed in the coming weeks.

We will be here in German with one of our traditionally slightly cheeky live tickers so that you don’t miss any information.

18:25: The main questions for today’s Destiny stream:

18:40: In the stream this evening:

  • Ryan Paradis. He is the lead designer of the live team, the team that is supposed to provide content “between the DLCs”. Paradis previously worked at Rockstar, contributing to Red Dead Redemption and GTA 5. He has been with Bungie since October 2013, designed the Patrol system at launch, and was then responsible for content such as the Festival of the Lost or the Prison of Elders, and the Spring update 2016.
  • The other guest is Joe Blackburn, a senior raid designer. He was already part of the live stream for “Wrath of the Machine”.
  • The whole thing will be moderated by Destiny’s announcement officer, a man named DeeJ.
  • We may also see a funny bunch of hobbits providing gameplay… but they usually remain nameless.

18:53: Welcome to Mein MMO. The site where the editor-in-chief works overtime on Wednesdays while the trainee returns from a cool event in England.

19:00: Starts around 19:06. About 50,000 people are currently in the Twitch stream.

Destiny: Old Raids Returning – at the Current Light Level

19:10: “All” raids are coming to the new light level. The goal is to bring all old raids to a “final light level.” Age of Triumph will be the last live update for Destiny 1.

19:14: The record book for Age of Triumph is being presented. It starts at rank 0. It is designed to guide players through the new content. DeeJ talks about the emblem. The community was right: the emblem had already hinted at what would come. The record book has 13 pages, and it is meant to accommodate 3 years of Destiny.

Day-One Players Will Receive a Special Emblem

19:16: The record book will show who is a “Day One Guardian.” Anyone who completed an activity before “Darkness Looms” will receive their own emblem. There should be something in the record book for every type of player that highlights and emphasizes their playstyle.

19:18: Even those who have completed everything up to this point will be able to fill half of the record book with new things. “Achievements” that they have already completed can be redeemed in the book with the content update and they will receive the reward for it.

When Will the New Update Release? Release Date Known

19:20: The release date for the update is indeed March 28. As everyone was already aware.

19:21: Oh, there are record pages for every single class. To fill the book, you will need to have actively played all 3 classes.

19:24: For hardcore players, the achievements so far all look like “Yeah, sure. I’ll do that before breakfast” – Nightfall under 30 minutes, 500 precision kills in Strikes. These are achievements that can only be approached after the launch of the update.

All 4 Old Raids Are Returning at Light Level 390 – Max Light Level for Guardians Remains

19:26: The new raids will come at light level 390. The 4 raids are: Glass Chamber, Crota’s End, King’s Fall, and Wrath of the Machine. For old raids that had no challenges, challenges will be added – such as Crota and Atheon.

19:27: The light level in Destiny will remain at 400 for Guardians. It will NOT increase.

Vex Mythoclast at Light 400

19:29: Vex Mythoclast is coming back. However, they want to talk about this and other rewards in two weeks.

Destiny-Vex-mythoclast

19:31: You need 100 shaders and 75 ships for the respective achievements. 130 dead ghosts, 25 Siva fragments.

19:33: Rank 25 with the factions is enough. So everything is quite reasonable for avid players.

19:35: Once in the Guardian’s career, you should have been to Mercury, for a “Flawless Ticket” in Osiris. This is also part of the record book. To “complete” Osiris, you only need 6 out of 7 achievements.

If You Have Rank 7 in the Record Book, You Can Buy a T-Shirt in the Real World

19:38: As a reward for completing the record book, there are various emblems. At rank 7, there is something special from the Bungie Store: a customized T-shirt, but it must then be purchased for real money. It is said to be a “reasonable price.” Curious about how shipping costs to Europe will turn out…

19:41: Oh dear, with the T-shirt. I don’t know if they are doing themselves any favors. I already see the shitstorm on the horizon.

Raid of the Week

19:42: There will be a featured raid every week where all challenges are activated. In Glass Chamber: Templar and Atheon. As a reward, there is raid set gear. The Atheon challenge is said to be the toughest one Bungie has ever designed.

19:44: There are new rewards in the old raids when they are featured. New raid gear for Glass Chamber with two ornament slots.

19:46: The first new raid is Crota’s End. In the second week, Atheon will be the new raid of the week. Once a raid has been the raid of the week, the 390 mode is available. In the third week, Oryx comes, and in the fourth week, Wrath of the Machine will be the “raid of the week” with special rewards and all challenges activated.

19:50: Now there’s gameplay from the Glass Chamber with level 40 mobs. It is NOT going to be about taken or SIVA here.

19:52: They initially wanted to change the raids significantly – to disable “shortcuts” but then decided to keep the raids as close to their original feel as possible.

19:56: Destiny 1 is expected to stay online for the “foreseeable future.”

19:59: Each raid will receive two new armors with ornaments. Wrath of the Machine will also receive an alternative for those who already have it.

20:00: The stream is slowly winding down. Next week, on Wednesday, March 15th, at 7 PM, there will be the next round. We will be back here at Mein MMO with another live ticker.

Dark and Light: Early Access startet noch 2017

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

When is the promising MMORPG Dark and Light going to be released? According to the developers, we can at least expect an early access phase in 2017.

Last autumn, it was said that the MMORPG Dark and Light was to enter early access in 2016. However, the year passed, and there was no playable version of the online role-playing game to be seen. In December, it was stated that the content for the early access version was almost ready and would start in 2017. Many fans assumed that it meant early 2017. But now, it’s March, and the MMORPG is still not playable.

dark and light battle
Early Access Phase Starts Later

Now, Publisher Snail Games has spoken out on Facebook, stating that fine-tuning and a revision of the graphics and animations are currently taking place. Therefore, the early access phase of Dark and Light will start later this year. Whether this will affect the planned release date in the fourth quarter of 2017 for the official version of the game is currently unknown.

A sandbox with many possibilities

Dark and Light is a new remake of a sandbox MMORPG from 2006, which is now being implemented with the Unreal Engine 4. The sandbox aspect remains at the forefront. Therefore, it is up to you how you navigate your way in the vast world. Whether you want to experience adventures and defeat monsters or become a crafter who creates the best weapons is equally possible.

However, in the game world, there should be fewer players than in other MMORPGs since the survival aspect also plays a role. So far, Dark and Light sounds very interesting. We will experience how it plays during the early access phase.

What is the TOTW in FUT 17?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. Just as in FIFA 17. In this, the players who performed outstandingly in real football in the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.

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

Interesting guides on FUT and all previous TOTW players can be found here.

WoW: Blizzard bans top players selling raid runs for real money

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Other players pay to get a rare mount in WoW? Blizzard is now taking action against it.

Those who look around a little longer in the group finder tool of World of Warcraft often notice certain offers instead of actual group requests. It is about selling particularly difficult dungeons, such as Mythic+15 or a “mount run” in Karazhan, to other players. The exact price is not always specified there. The reason for this is that often real money must change hands, following the thought: If you want the Karazhan mount, put down 50€.

Wow Gold Bank

Blizzard obviously has a problem with this type of sales. They do not want a market for such services to develop and want to stifle it in the future.

Community Manager Ornyx stated in the official forum:

“Many of the affected players were in the top raid guilds. We want to make it clear that anyone we have sanctioned has clearly stated that they know they are violating our terms of use. To maintain fair play and competitive integrity in the future, these activities will be monitored more closely to ensure everyone follows the rules. This includes selling services for real money, account sharing, and other offenses.”

What exact penalties were imposed, Blizzard has not revealed.

Sell Runs – prohibited for cash, explicitly allowed for gold

Blizzard explicitly emphasizes that there is absolutely no problem with offering in-game services for in-game gold. Offering a mount run for 200,000 gold is not a problem.

wow-legion-nightbane-secret-boss-karazhan

Additionally, there will be new reporting functions in patch 7.2 to be able to directly report such behavior to Blizzard. The Game Masters will then take the necessary actions.

Cortyn says: I’m not really surprised that especially players from the professional guilds wanted to earn a few Euros through such sell runs. Those who want to stay on top probably don’t have time for a full job and have to use what the game offers. So why not use the best equipment in the game for some monetary gain? Well, obviously, because Blizzard doesn’t want that. The complaints from the pros probably won’t take long to materialize.

In World of Warcraft, it is finally time to go after Gul’dan – the Night Hold is fully open in LFR!

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Sniper Rifle Scopes – Locations of all scopes

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Ghost Recon Wildlands, sniper rifles are the ultimate way to eliminate distant targets with precision. But without a good scope, any sniper rifle is just dead weight. Find out here the locations of the best scopes for sniper rifles.

Ghost Recon Wildlands cat

Ghost Recon Wildlands is a tactical shooter, and those who play particularly tactically neutralize enemies from extreme distances with a heavy sniper rifle. However, without a decent scope on the sniper rifle, even a high-tech gun is little fun. Standard sniper rifles are not equipped with an optimal scope.

Scopes – Here you will find the locations of the scopes for sniper rifles

The Ghosts are indeed an absolute elite unit of the US Army, but for some inexplicable reason, you start with relatively modest equipment in your fight against the cartel. The good stuff is currently hoarded by the cruel Santa Blanca cartel and hidden all over fictional Bolivia.

The locations of the rifle scopes are well hidden, and anyone who doesn’t know where to look in the vast open world of Bolivia won’t find a good sniper scope quickly. But do not despair, here are the locations:

World of Tanks: Wargaming Boss: “World of Tanks should last forever”

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 4 minutes

At GDC 2017, Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi spoke about past mistakes. Above all, the botched Rubicon update for World of Tanks. At the same time, he believes in the lasting success of World of Tanks, even though it is a significant challenge.

Wargaming’s boss Victor Kislyi spoke at GDC 2017 in San Francisco with colleagues from Polygon about past mistakes and plans for the future of the games World of Tanks and World of Warships. He also admitted to some unpleasant failures.

World of Tanks – Rubicon wasn’t that great

One of the worst failures in the history of World of Tanks was the Update 9.12 (formerly 10.0) “Rubicon” at the end of 2015. The update was supposed to bring new maps and a game mode called Rampage, which allowed limited respawns like its competitor War Thunder. Additionally, there were artillery strikes to call in and even gas attacks to eliminate the enemy crew.

world of tanks fury pack 02

The gas attack was then removed because “gassing” people in a game about tanks and World War II was probably too disrespectful and also poorly balanced. Then there was the terrorist attack in Paris in November 2015, and out of respect, one of the two new maps, the Paris map, was also removed from the patch.

World-of-Tanks-Grille-15

Only the Rampage mode remained, in which you could win an extremely good T-22 tank. This tank was very strong and was supposed to serve as a reward for top players. However, some guilds cheated and arranged victories among themselves to quickly get the super tanks. The Rampage mode was later removed, and according to Kislyi, the players, especially the Russians, were still angry for years.

World of Tanks: Praise instead of Trolls

As a consequence of the Rubicon debacle, Kislyi radically restructured the team. Until then, the team had been strongly Belarus-focused, with a headquarters in Minsk and a rather poor understanding of the English language. Therefore, Kislyi brought new people into the team and made everything more international.

World of Tanks Schweden02

All of this took years, but now the Wargaming team is much better at responding to player requests and improving the game. According to Victor, this is evident as players are playing more than before. But also according to Victor’s own experience, improvements can be observed.

world of tanks fury pack 01

The big boss plays World of Tanks himself every day for an hour, and under his real name. This is well known, and he always receives numerous messages from players. In the past, these were mainly complaints, insults, and trolling. Today he mainly hears gratitude and praise.

More Freedom for Warships and Warplanes

Part of Kislyi’s changed company strategy is that he wants to have less direct influence on his developers. Especially with the ship offshoot World of Warships, the boss insisted too much that the new game should be like World of Tanks with ships. In hindsight, this was a mistake, as many players have turned their backs on World of Warships after its initial success.

World of Tanks Details

The development teams now have more freedom and are supposed to decide for themselves how to evolve the games based on player feedback and community requests. Overall, Wargaming wants to focus on the flagship World of Tanks in 2017.

World of Tanks: “Winter is Coming and Will Not Pass!”

The plans for World of Tanks in 2017 include a complete graphics overhaul of the game. This is expected to be completed by August, keeping World of Tanks fit for the future. Kislyi said:

WoT-Update9.16

“We have recognized that World of Tanks can exist forever. But we must prepare for a long winter. Winter is coming and it will not go away. But this is a good problem. The approach should be to make a game that is built like the pyramids, for centuries or millennia.”

The Division: Fatal point glitch in Last Stand results in massive loot

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

The PvP mode “Last Stand” is plagued by a severe glitch in The Division. Players are getting tons of points and therefore countless endgame rewards.

A new glitch has been circulating in the Division forums for several days now. Recently, YouTube has been flooded with tutorials and “How to” videos about this glitch. This problem can no longer be kept under wraps – anyone visiting the relevant pages and channels will inevitably come across it.

division-gegner-last

Many tutorials state that they do not want to spread the glitch for agents to replicate – but rather that Massive becomes aware of it and resolves it as soon as possible. This is in the interest of the game.

What does this glitch do?

We will not provide a guide for this glitch here – within seconds you can find it yourself on reddit or YouTube. You just need the right gear pieces and skills, and you can start the point rain in “Last Stand”. At the end of a match, you will receive rewards based on your point total – which turn out to be extremely high this way. Loot boxes with delicious contents are available after every round in the double-digit range.

division-agenten-last

However, the glitchers are not only gaining advantages for themselves – they are also impairing the gaming experience of other players. To execute the glitch, one only needs to “camp” at a location – teamwork does not occur. It is not enjoyable. Agents complain: Last Stand is currently unplayable!

What does Massive say about it?

Massive has gotten wind of this glitch. Last night, community manager Mattshotcha wrote in the Ubi forum that a fix will be deployed as soon as possible.

Perhaps the problem can already be resolved tomorrow, on March 9, during the regular maintenance work. By the way, it is not marked as an exploit in the Ubi forum that would incur penalties.

This evening there is a livestream, a special report. But there were already advance details about Year 2!

GTA 5: Rockstar bezahlt Hacker für Fehlersuche

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

For finding bugs and other vulnerabilities of online services and websites, the GTA 5 publisher pays a lot of money to hackers.

This is how to use errors to your advantage: Rockstar offers a reward program where any user can earn money for showing them potentially dangerous security holes. This concerns several online services and websites belonging to Rockstar Games. Users receive a decent reward for verifiable bugs and security vulnerabilities if they help identify these issues.

Already paid over $90,000 to hackers

On the website HackerOne, Rockstar Games has a reward program in which users are rewarded for reporting potential security risks. These reports can be worthwhile as Rockstar pays at least $150 for every successful report. Depending on the severity and complexity of the security issue, the rewards can be even higher. So far, Rockstar has already spent $90,350 in this program and has given hackers an average of $500.

This advertisement is mainly about bugs and security vulnerabilities on certain domains. These include

  • www.rockstargames.com
  • socialclub.rockstargames.com
  • lifeinvader.com
  • patches.rockstargames.com

To report an issue to Rockstar and get paid for it, you must be the first person to report this bug. Moreover, the bug must not be made public before and after the submission.

GTA 5

However, these rewards are currently not for bugs, glitches, or exploits within the game itself. You can still report these issues on the official support website of Rockstar Games. Here’s the link to the Rockstar support website at support.rockstargames.com

If you have the technical skills and enjoy bug hunting, take a look at the advertisement from Rockstar Games. Maybe you can earn some extra money this way. Here’s the link to the Rockstar Games Bounty Program at Hackerone.com
