There are new changes coming to the PTR for Overwatch . They strengthen Winston and weaken Roadhog. We have the Overwatch PTR Patch Notes 1.8 for you.
On the night from Thursday to Friday, Blizzard announced changes in Overwatch that will soon come to the PTR with the next build. PC players can already test the changes that Blizzard is planning for Overwatch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on the PTR.
The cooldown increases from 6 to 8 – Roadhog will be able to use the hook less frequently
Targets will be pulled from 3.5 meters away from Roadhog, currently it is only 2 meters – the enemies will no longer stand directly in front of him when he hooks them
The spread of his shotgun will be reduced by 20% – this is supposed to help him hit something even when the opponent is not standing directly in front of him
As a result, Roadhog’s hook is supposed to be weakened, no longer serving enemies on a silver platter. In return, his shotgun is improved a bit when he doesn’t strike with the hook.
The ape Winston receives a 15% reduced critical hit volume, making it 15% harder to hit critically. His head was simply too big, and as a result, he took too much damage compared to other heroes, says Geoff Goodman, the Principal Designer of Overwatch. This change is meant to balance that out.
The next patch is also supposed to bring numerous changes beyond hero balance. Players are currently experimenting with the new “Custom Games” in Overwatch .
Further changes that are already live on the PTR of Overwatch concern Bastion and dear Mercy:
Thanks to Custom Games, things in Overwatch are now really crazy – we show you the wildest game modes created by fans.
The latest patch for Overwatch is on the Public Test Realm (PTR) and allows players to try out new features in advance.
One of the biggest innovations allows players to use the “Server Browser”, which means: players can create their own matches and find fellow players for them. Also new is the ability to freely customize the matches in almost all parameters. Should one team have double health points? The other team no cooldowns? May a team only play as Soldier: 76? All this can be set – and it has opened doors for all kinds of crazy game modes.
Kotaku has published a list of the coolest private matches that we don’t want to withhold from you. Here are some highlights:
In the “Soldier VS Predator” mode by Dartjuk, 3 players play as Soldier:76 with reduced health points and only rockets as their ability. On the opposing team, there is a Sombra with increased health points, faster movement, and virtually no cooldowns. There is no healing for either team – who will win? The Predator as Sombra or the team of soldiers?

The “Pro Genji Simulator” by Alber also looks like a ton of fun. There is no respawn time, everyone can only pick Genji, and they are permanently affected by a speed boost. Oh, and everyone has only 20 health points. One hit means instant death. A cheerful mass slaughter of cyber ninjas!

Finally, we have the “Zombie Mode” from Mirmon. One team plays as Soldier: 76 and the opposing team as Reinhardts with heavy slowing. To balance this, Reinhardt has almost no cooldowns, starts with charged Ultimate, and almost all of his abilities are an instant kill. Anyone who has played Left4Dead2 in “Realism Expert” knows what they’re getting into…

Have you also experimented with the settings and created cool game modes?
Next Tuesday, on February 14th, the Sandbox update is expected to be released around 7 PM, with adjustments being made to the weapons and Guardian classes.Some changes were presented in the livestream on Wednesday, which you can read about in the provided link.
Currently, they are checking the details for the patch notes, verifying and confirming stats and changes, and preparing everything so that the complete patch notes will also be meticulously and accurately published on February 14th.
By the way: When the update 2.5.0.2 is released on Tuesday, no server downtime is planned. Bungie will press the big red button and the changes will be activated. It is emphasized once again that no further changes will come on that day. Only Sandbox update.
What happens next?
It has already been announced multiple times that a content update will be released in the spring. The live team is working on it, but they cannot say anything about it yet. At the top of the speculation list: The old raids could be reactivated.
DeeJ writes that they noticed a strong interest from the community in adjusting the “Iron Lord” artifacts, especially Skorris’ Remembrance.
The update 2.5.0.2 will not bring any new features here, but with the next content update, adjustments to the sandbox could be made again. He reveals that this update may come with artifact tuning. Time will tell.
At the end of the letter, DeeJ reminds us that changes are never easy. We are entering a time of adjustments. Good luck out there, he wishes.
MMO shooter Destiny 2 is set to release this year, in 2017. Plans for content afterwards are already being made.
At this moment, the conference call from Activision Blizzard is taking place. In a press release, the figures and key facts are already available in advance.
Important here for Destiny fans: Destiny 2 is set to release in 2017 as a full-fledged sequel. Plans for gameplay content afterwards are already being made. This is supposed to ensure the global reach of the franchise and its growth.
Thus, Activision contradicts rumors that Destiny 2 will be delayed to 2018. Also interesting: There is talk of a “Full Destiny” sequel. It is emphasized that this is not just an expansion – like with “The Taken King”, but that it is at least a number larger.
We will update this article here when we have more facts from the audio part of the presentation.
Destiny 2 is set to become more accessible, releasing in Fall 2017
Update 23:30: Here are more details from the Q&A part of the call:
Destiny 2 is set to release in Fall 2017. A specific quarter is not mentioned. Development is proceeding great.
The game is supposed to be more accessible for those who want a great first-person experience, also for casual players
Activision promises that Destiny 2 will not lose what made core gamers love Destiny. It should succeed on two fronts
Destiny 2 is set to launch in more markets than ever before
That’s it for the official part of the information. There are still many speculations about whether “more markets” and “expanded reach” means that Destiny 2 will be released on PC. But we will stick to the statements from Activision.
In Conan Exiles, you can worship various gods and receive valuable rewards for your devotion. Here you will learn how to gain the favor of Yog, Mitra, and Set and what secrets each faith reveals.
Right at the beginning of the game during character creation in Conan Exiles, you can determine your barbarian’s religion alongside the breast and penis size. Currently, in the early access version, only four gods are available: the grim Crom, the gruesome Yog, the dark Set, and the just Mitra. But what do piety and faith bring you in the barbarian survival MMO?

One thing to note: Your choice at the beginning of the game only dictates which god you can immediately build a shrine for. You can also learn the shrines and religious teachings of the other gods at the corresponding cost of learning points, but this will cost quite a few points and you will also need to visit the respective teacher of the desired religion.
So think carefully about which god you choose, as each deity offers different bonuses and special items. Also, be aware that the shrines of different gods cannot be built too close to each other.
The immortals are a whimsical and jealous bunch! The locations of the religious NPCs are marked on the map shown here.
What Does Religion Bring in Conan Exiles?
Religion is richly rewarded in Conan Exiles. Your chosen god grants you knowledge of their shrine right from the start. There, you can begin collecting favor with the deity early on and receive special items for your worship.
As you continue to expand your shrine with increasing divine favor, you will receive further goodies and may eventually rise to become a priest. Once you have acquired enough favor with your god, you can summon an avatar of your god with the help of a sacrificed slave priest, who will then crush everything in its path as an unstoppable giant beast.
While controlling the avatar, your barbarian will remain standing in a well-visible light column at the altar. If a nasty assassin knocks you down in this state, the godly spectacle ends. But what use does each god have?
Which God in Conan Exiles is Right for Your Playstyle?
Yog – Not for Vegans!
The gruesome god Yog sounds a bit like the similarly horrific “Yog-Sothoth” from the Cthulhu Mythos. The “Lord of the Void” is a terrible being that is primarily worshipped by the wild cannibal tribe of the Dafari, demanding that his followers eat only meat.
At least once a month, juicy human flesh must also be grilled, which must be “flawless”. This means that for the Yoggites, the flesh must be struck from the corpse with a special club instead of a blade.
You will receive such a club when you build a “Yog pit” for your gruesome patron. The human flesh prepared there is a true miracle cure in the harsh Conan world, as it does not spoil, heals you even in combat, and even grants water upon consumption.
Later, we can craft special weapons and armor pieces with Yog’s blessing here, but the human flesh remains the best resource we can obtain here, as you can read in our level guide to Conan Exiles.
Mitra – For Supporters
The god Mitra is a deity of law and justice. Therefore, this patron is ideal for players who want to build something and help their teammates.
To please Mitra, you must collect the essence of dead enemies with the help of your holy ankh. You will receive the ankh from your first god shrine.
From the essence, you create valuable ambrosia at the sanctuary, a powerful healing remedy that grants you regeneration – even in combat.
Mitra priests later get the opportunity to construct sacred statues that help all players. For example, by creating an everlasting well in front of the statue.
Set – For Nasty Ranged Fighters
The Stygian snake god Set is one of the strongest and most feared gods in the Conan universe. For instance, the powerful wizard Thoth Amon from the MMORPG Age of Conan or the equally horrific cult leader Thulsa Doom from the first Conan film are devotees of Set.
Those who serve Set must not kill snakes. Never! In return, they receive an antidote from the altar and can use the snakes as deadly arrows – just like in the Conan film!
This makes Set particularly suitable for ranged fighters. To obtain all the Set goodies, you must take your sacrificial dagger and cut the heart out of dead enemies’ chests to sacrifice it at your altar.
Crom – For Atheists
Real barbarians do not whine before gods! Those who think this are likely followers of the grim god Crom. Crom sits in his mountain and does not care about what mortals do.
So if you don’t feel like religion in Conan Exiles, choose this god. However, you will get nothing! No altars for Crom followers.
However, later in the game, you can still be initiated into one of the other religions for valuable learning points and then build their altars. It is still unclear whether Crom followers receive any other rewards for their atheism.
Among them will most likely be the god Dagoth from the second Conan film. But the demon god Xotli, who had an entire class dedicated to him in Age of Conan, is also expected to join the game someday.
Ubisoft has announced an open beta for the shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands (PS4, Xbox One, PC).
Currently, the earning calls of the major publishers are taking place. Therefore, news about new releases and fresh games are piling up. Today it was Ubisoft’s turn. They have called for an open beta for their new shooter “Ghost Recon: Wildlands.” A closed beta had just taken place last weekend.
The open beta probably won’t be long in coming. We do not yet know an exact date for the OBT. It is said to be “coming sometime in the next few weeks.” However, it should be soon. The launch of Ghost Recon Wildlands is already on March 7 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
There were no indications that Ghost Recon Wildlands could be delayed from Ubisoft. After the closed beta, many players demanded to wait a bit longer for the release. They noticed some shortcomings:
Meanwhile, there are further details about new weapons, operations, ranks, and unlocks.
Battlefield 1: They Shall not Pass DLC weapons
In the expansion for Battlefield 1, in addition to new maps, there will also be weapons that you can try out in the various new locations. In They Shall not Pass, there are the following new weapons:
The Ribeyrolles 1918,
the RSC 1917,
the Lebel Model 1886,
the Chauchat,
the Sjögren Inertial and
the MLE 1903 Extended
Close Combat:
Rusted Mace
Nail Knife
Trench Fleur
The powerful fighter mace belongs to the Trench Fighter elite class.
New Operations, Ranks and Unlocks
The They Shall not Pass DLC brings two new operations into the game: Devil’s Anvil and Beyond the Marne. Huge tank battles and intense close combat await you there.
Additionally, you can continue your career and climb ten new ranks. In the France DLC, new medals, dog tags, service stars, and codex entries await you.
Unfortunately, the Battlefield 1 team did not want to provide a specific release date on Twitter yet.
Ubisoft made an interesting statement during an investors’ conference. It could involve The Division and a possible Year 2.
Currently, major software publishers are holding “Earning Calls”. There, they present their plans for the upcoming year.
Ubisoft was also involved. Their CEO Yves Guillemont announced that four AAA games are planned for the period from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018. One of them will be “South Park: The Fractured but Whole”. The other three are not yet revealed by Ubisoft.
It is interesting to note that they have decided to expand an existing successful game instead of releasing a new title in the franchise, as was originally planned.
Ubisoft focuses on Games as a Service
They are doing this because the company’s games are currently performing better than ever before. The “Back Catalog,” meaning the existing players, are more profitable than ever. Therefore, Ubisoft wants to concentrate on “Live Operations.” This means that Ubisoft is focusing more on “Games as a Service” , which are games that have a long lifespan, are supplied with content and updates for an extended period, and thus generate profit for a longer time.
We do not know whether the game that is being expanded instead of continued refers to The Division or perhaps Rainbow Six Siege. Both titles are certainly successful.
The future of The Division is currently completely open. There are no indications yet of what a Year 2 for The Division could look like.
We can speculate that Ubisoft had once planned to continue with “The Division 2” now. For Destiny, “Destiny 2” was also originally planned two years after the launch of the first part. If Ubisoft had followed this template, a “The Division 2” would have been due in Spring 2018, which would still fall under the timeline Ubisoft discussed today.
Instead, they will now enter a “Year 2” if the title they are talking about was indeed “The Division.”
All very hypothetical, a lot of “would have, could have, bicycle chain,” but that’s how it is when large companies hold their conferences without really showing their cards.
In Skyforge you play as an Immortal who can even ascend to godhood. However, during Valentine’s time, you become the god of love Cupid himself!
Your immortal heroes in Skyforge can ascend to the ranks of the gods of Aelion through hard work and many trials. But whether you are a grim god of war, a deity of storm and tempest, or the ruler of the eternal oceans: On Valentine’s Day, you can embody the strongest force in the universe: The gravity love!
Love is in the Air!
From February 8th to March 1st, you can put on a cheeky toga and strap on little wings. Your Cupid outfit is ready, and as Cupid, you are out with many other fun-loving souls to bring love and harmony to the invasion-plagued world of Aelion. Numerous funny emotes, like a love serenade on a cello, guarantee the full romantic experience.
However, not everything associated with love is beautiful. The tinkerer god Flavius has meddled in the thoughts of a dryad and now the lovely being is utterly infatuated with your hero. Therefore, she has hidden tokens of affection all over the world, which you can find for rewards. Additionally, you will discover whether the dryad’s infatuation has a happy ending.
Enough with the Romance: Developers Answer Questions
If the romantic chatter is of no concern to you, at least you can look forward to some solid information about the game. The developers have addressed the community’s questions in a blog post and have released the following information:
The best equipment will still come from distortions. Older items will soon be available through other means.
Counter invasions will definitely come someday.
A solution to bridge the gap between the end of the campaign and high-end raids is underway.
Story development currently has no priority over other innovations.
The council of gods is currently being revised.
A solution for more fairness in Pantheon wars is being worked on.
Players should also get the chance to become upper gods.
A new alien race is planned.
New classes are on the way
Divine forms will receive more variants.
Requirements for invasions will be adjusted so that more players can join.
Hostile territories and anomalies will return to the game.
In The Division, the PTS phase ends tomorrow, February 10th. The release of 1.6 and “Last Stand” is now not in the way – or?
The State of the Game took place on February 9th, the weekly status report from Massive. Community Developer Hamish Bode talked with a developer from Red Storm about the PTS and especially about the upcoming PvP mode “Last Stand”.
Information from the State of the Game on February 9th
The most important information first: Tomorrow, February 10th, the public test servers, the PTS, will be shut down. After weeks of testing, enough data and feedback have now been collected to give the update 1.6 and the Last Stand DLC its final touches. There is no specific time yet for the end of the PTS.
And when will the update 1.6 and “Last Stand” go live now? There is still no fixed answer to this question at the moment. The developers still have a lot of work ahead, according to Bode. As soon as a release date is set, they will announce it. Just a few weeks ago, Community Developer Yannick Bancherau hastily posted February 28th as the release date. However, this information was taken offline and silenced after just a few minutes.
More information:
The PTS has been incredibly useful for the developers. They received a lot of constructive feedback. They thank the community.
Before the release, they will still put a lot of work into the update and the DLC: The individual skills will be adjusted in “Last Stand”, as will the consumables upon respawn, and they will also reexamine the turret placements.
You will still be able to reload while sprinting.
Additionally, many agents are currently complaining about lag. Massive is currently investigating server performance.
SF-MMORPG Star Trek Online is getting bigger and more extensive on PS4 and Xbox One. Six exciting new PvE queues for instance scenarios have been announced.
Crystal entities! If there’s anything that makes any Star Trek officer recoil in horror, it is omnipotent crystal entities that easily absorb attacks and retaliate like ten Borg cubes. Even the good old Enterprise dealt with such a crystal creature. According to Perfect World, an even more terrifying crystal entity is set to appear in the console versions of Star Trek Online soon, teaching captains to fear!
The Mirror Universe Strikes!
Overall, six new PvE queues for scenarios will soon be available for the console version of STO. Besides the gruesome Crystal of Death, there are two instances where we fight against the “Terran Empire” known from Deep Space Nine. The following PvE scenarios are available:
Crystalline Catastrophe: The aforementioned scenario with the crystal entity
Couterpoint: Admiral Leeta from the Terran Empire attacks Deep Space Nine
Assault on Terok Nor: Here you launch a counterattack against the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe
Days of Doom: A time travel to the 23rd century throws you into a battle against a living Doomsday Machine!
Miner Instabilities: Romulans attack a mining colony, and you are to help!
The Battle of Procyon V: Back to the future! In the 26th century, time agents Chekov and Daniels need your help in a fateful conflict.
Just six days later, Funcom announced on Steam: “We have new servers!”
Today, February 9th, 81 servers in America are set to go online. The server start is planned right after the daily patch is deployed. European players will have to wait a little longer, as the 31 new Europe servers are planned for tomorrow, February 10th.
The new machines will initially be limited to 40 players, but are expected to be expanded soon. However, Funcom intends to thoroughly check the performance before potentially acquiring additional hardware.
However, there remains a disappointment: Due to corrupted data, it is unclear whether players’ saved progress from the old official servers can be transferred. So players should prepare for wipes.
Furthermore, the developers continue to emphasize: official servers are not the ultimate solution. Everyone should be happy in their own Conan world and play to their heart’s content on unofficial servers or even rent their own servers! You can find out how to do that in our guide at the provided link.
In short: The goal in each online mode is to defeat the opposing team. The “main mode” is called “Dominion”.
Dominion – 4v4: You fight in teams of four against each other and must gain control over zones. There are three zones on the maps (example: A is your zone, C is the enemy zone, and B is in the middle).
At B, soldiers from both teams constantly spawn. If you defeat enough of the enemy soldiers, your soldiers gain the upper hand here, and the zone belongs to you.
In Dominion, you must capture and hold as many zones as possible to earn points. If you capture the enemy zone C, you gain 100 points and one point per second as long as you hold the zone. If you stand still in this zone, you even get 2 points per second.
If you die, there is a respawn near your “home zone”. Once a team has 1000 points, “the opposing team breaks” and the respawn is removed. Now you must defeat the enemies one last time. Whoever survives in the end and defeats the last hero of a broken team wins.
Duels – 1v1: In this mode, you face off solo against another hero. Use your hero’s abilities, read the movements of the other player, and defeat them. Whoever wins three rounds decides the whole match. The radar is inactive.
Brawls – 2v2: This mode is like the duel, except this time two teams face off against each other. You must win three rounds to decide the match in your favor. A team wins a round when the last hero of the opposing team is defeated. There are no respawns. Watch out: The arenas are filled with traps and deep chasms.
Elimination – 4v4: In Elimination, you play “Best of 5”. There is no respawn. In this mode, executions are particularly important to prevent the enemies from reviving fallen teammates. If you defeat the hero who faces you at the beginning, you can rush to aid your allies. If you have no chance against your opponent, you can take to your heels and hope your teammates can support you. Here, there is also the Skirmish, where you must reach 1000 points for victory.
Story Mode and Faction War
In addition to the online modes, you will also find a story campaign and faction war in For Honor. The faction war is the meta-game in For Honor: Cross-platform, it reflects the war between the factions. After your matches, you earn war resources that you can use to defend your territories or to attack enemy territories. A faction war season lasts three months. Then it shows which faction owns the most territories.
In the story mode, you experience a tale about the fight between knights, vikings, and samurai. According to Ubisoft, players will “storm castles and fortresses, turn the tide in seemingly hopeless battles, face deadly bosses in intense duels, and ultimately emerge as battle-hardened warriors who can change the course of a bloody story.”
Important heroes in the campaign are the Warden (Knight), the Orochi (Samurai), and the Raider (Viking).
In Destiny, the rumor mill is churning: A Redditor unveils numerous potential leaks about Destiny 2!
In recent months, there have been ongoing rumors, speculations, and possible leaks regarding the sequel to Destiny, Destiny 2. Among them were plausible and credible leaks, but some were also quite ridiculous.
Now, a user named Inside_Leaks appears on Reddit. He claims to have received information about the future of Destiny from an important Bungie employee. He wants to remain anonymous. The information is said to be officially released at the upcoming Activision conference.
Destiny 2 is called “Forge of Hope” and will be released in November – according to the leak
The information seems plausible and aligns with the details and leaks that have surfaced in recent months. However, this information could also be completely faked.
The sequel is titled “Destiny II: Forge of Hope”.
It will be released in the fourth quarter of 2017, likely between November 4th and November 18th.
It will be available on 5 platforms: PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox Scorpio (TBA), and PC.
The PS4 exclusivity for certain content is maintained, limited to 3 months.
At launch, there will be three editions with specific in-game cosmetics.
The game features a brand new engine that allows for rapid creation and integration of new content into the world of Destiny.
New events, storylines, and gameplay mechanics are expected every 1-2 months.
Spoilers regarding the story
The story follows the end of “The Taken King”, after Oryx’s death.
The Cabal forces attack the Last City, and it is up to the Guardians to stop the Cabal.
While doing so, the Guardians will also learn what happens to Queen Mara Sov and the mysterious Exo.
The new raid targets the leader of the Cabal.
Further information:
In addition to regular events, there will be a major content update every quarter.
Bungie already has a small team working on the next major expansion for Fall 2018, which will focus on the Vex, Kabr, and Praydeth.
And: Previous characters will have to be left behind. With the new engine, this step is necessary. However, there will be numerous new customization options for the Guardians.
The next content update for Destiny is expected in May 2017.
Note: All this information is not officially confirmed! However, leaks have frequently surfaced just before such announcement events in the past. We will likely soon know what is true after the Activision conference. Maybe someone just wants to make themselves important shortly before the conference…
Hot mounts in a cross-promotion between WoW and HotS – but time is running out.
The developer Blizzard is known for offering a lot of “cross-promotions” between its different games, where fans are rewarded in one game for checking out another. In the coming weeks, there will be another such action where all fans of World of Warcraft can earn an exclusive mount by spending some matches in the MOBA Heroes of the Storm.
The task is somewhat more complex than usual: a total of 15 games must be completed while being in a group with a friend (a player on the friends list). You must play a character from the Warcraft universe.
Which character the friend plays does not matter for the quest, and not all 15 matches have to be completed with the same friend.
In total, there are 3 rewards for successfully completing this mission:
World of Warcraft: Mount Primal Fire Saber
Heroes of the Storm: 10-day Stimpack
Heroes of the Storm: Mount Flame Steed of Judgment
The special quest is available from February 15, 2017, to March 14, 2017 – whether the rewards will be available again afterwards is unlikely.
Those who want to secure both mounts – in WoW and HotS – should cancel some raids in the next 4 weeks to check out some matches in Blizzard’s MOBA with their teammates. Because the mounts look hot in any case.
With Dark and Light, Snail Games aims to create an MMO set in a magical world. This magic flows from the planet itself and is available to you.
Dark and Light could become an unusual MMO. It starts with the fact that only 100 players will be active per server. This supports the survival elements, which come into play better when you don’t meet a helpful player every few meters. Additionally, every encounter with other players should become something special. And you can explore the vast world on your own.
The world is full of magic
Dark and Light takes place on the planet Alpha, which is home to the “Sacred Path.” This is the center of magic. The world is flooded with magic, which you can use. The flow of magic through the land also shapes it. Overall, you will travel through 25 zones, from ancient moors and enchanted forests to gigantic volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, to floating islands.
The magic is also represented in the many creatures you encounter, including dragons and unicorns. Some of these beings you can tame and use as mounts, for example. However, to impose your will on the most powerful creatures, you will need the help of a whole clan. So while there will be relatively few players on the servers, group play is also important.
Survival like in Conan Exiles
Dark and Light comes – at least currently – without quests. The survival aspect is similar to that of Conan Exiles. You learn more about the world and its background story by wandering through the land and discovering clues.
However, there are currently plans to create a quest line for the introduction, to guide players into the MMO. Dark and Light is reportedly set to release later this year.
Ashes of Creation promises to be a very interesting MMORPG. The developers have now released a first gameplay video that shows what the game actually looks like.
With Ashes of Creation, MMORPG fans might expect what Everquest Next was supposed to be. In the game, you explore a huge fantasy world, which you can influence through your actions and what you build there. You can even become the ruler of a whole kingdom that spreads across the lands. But what does the game really look like?
Screenshots and trailers showing the landscape are nice, but a gameplay video says more.
When Mages Explore Dungeons
Therefore, the development studio has now released such a video. In this, a sorceress sets out to explore a dungeon that has appeared due to the actions of players near a newly built town. As players, you now venture out to explore this dungeon to find out if there are any treasures to be discovered and whether the creatures that dwell there pose a threat to the settlement.
The video shows how the sorceress explores the cave and encounters enemies that are fought using a traditional MMORPG combat system, where the position of the players plays an important role. It shows how important magic is to overcome abysses or to catch a deep fall after the ground collapses. This also demonstrates that group play is essential, as it will surely be difficult to master this dungeon without a mage.
Game Graphics but Enhanced
At the end of the dungeon, as the heroine is about to open a treasure chest, the massive boss enemy appears… The video showcases game graphics but presents them very cinematically, with UI turned off and various camera perspectives.
Ashes of Creation is set to enter alpha later this year and is already whetting the appetite for more.

Leya has tested Paladins new flanker Maeve and felt like the killer rubber ball. Here are her impressions of the new champion.
Maeve has entered Paladins and is probably one of the most fun champions I have ever played. She is a flanker and is not only very popular with me but among many players already.
Her combination currently deals significant damage, and I suspect this will be toned down in a future patch. With her “Pounce” ability, Maeve dashes forward. If she hits an opponent, they take massive damage. With “Nine Lives,” Maeve regains health and the cooldown of “Pounce” is reduced.
Maeve is not a cat, but a killer rubber ball
I was especially successful when I picked off opponents with low health and dealt the finishing blow with Pounce. This works even if you dive into a larger group.
You have enough evasion traits to run or jump away from the enemies right in front of you. Maeve also has an ability that gives her more speed and jump height.
I didn’t feel like a cat, but like a wild rubber ball. While playing, I noticed that Maeve can easily jump over high walls and has a double jump. I was literally flying back and forth with her, dodging enemies, hurling my daggers around me, and causing confusion and chaos. I was the killer rubber ball.
And that’s exactly what makes her incredibly fun to play. Anyone who enjoys a playful playstyle should definitely give her a try.
Maeve is fast but has low health
Despite her extremely high mobility, I had to position myself cleverly with Maeve. She has very low health and can be easily taken out with 1-2 skillful shots. A good Makoa can catch her with his hook and finish her off within seconds. It also gets tricky when slowed down or stuck by Pip or Bomb King.
Is Maeve now Paladins best flanker?
Maeve deals substantial damage for a flanker and is hard to catch. In 1vs1, I was able to take out most enemy flankers. She will probably be played often now and push out other flankers a bit – especially since she is new.
However, I still had trouble against a good Skye since Maeve can’t take much damage. You also have to hit with her skill shots. But if you land her full combo, hardly any opponent stands a chance of survival. Currently, I would assess her as a very strong flanker but not unbeatable.
I will probably build a loadout deck with her next that gives her more health.
ARK Survival Evolved and beer: How to make beer in ARK and what effect it has, you will find out here.
I like to think about how I can combine my favorite things. So it was high time for me to write about beer in ARK. It is possible to build a beer barrel and produce liquid happiness in it.
Making beer in ARK – What is its use?
Simply put, beer has a benefit in the harsh struggle for survival: getting drunk.
To elaborate, beer lowers your stamina and your screen shines in a golden glow. If your stamina is completely exhausted, you get a hangover and can only walk very slowly. Additionally, you will not regain your stamina for 2-3 minutes.
However, the beer keeps you cozy warm and you take less damage while you are drunk. It could still be useful to get out of a cold cave as a last resort. Just like you would eat a narcotic berry when you are about to starve.
But the greatest benefit will probably be found in activities such as celebrating a tribe member’s birthday or the taming day of your favorite dino.
Brewing beer in ARK – This is how it’s done
To make beer in ARK, you need a beer barrel with a water connection and enough berries and straw.
Craft a beer barrel (Beer Barrel). The beer barrel must be connected to a water pipe for brewing. It can also be filled with a water container in the inventory slot.
To make beer add: 40x berries (any), 40x straw, and water
Once you see small bubbles rising from the barrel, the brewing is in full swing. The brewing process takes 6 hours.
To tap the beer, you need a Water Jar. Other containers like Water Skin do not work.

Will you dare to brew beer or would you rather engage in other activities in ARK? Using human hair as fur, has also become a thing since the last patch…
