Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

This Friday, we want to know which games you will be playing over the weekend from February 24 to February 26.

Once again, a week is coming to an end and transitioning into a well-deserved weekend. In the next few days, you can participate in beta tests of Ghost Recon Wildlands or MU Legend. Do you like trying new games or do you stick to your favorites, to which you dedicate more time over the weekend?

What is the editorial team playing?

Over the weekend, we will be playing both classics and new games. Of course, the beta phases of Ghost Recon Wildlands and MU Legend are a significant topic for us. But these are not the only games we will focus on over the weekend:

Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta Start Title

I will spend the weekend with friends in the digital Bolivia of Ghost Recon Wildlands. Since the closed beta, I have been counting the days until the game’s launch. In the open beta, which is active until Monday, we will tackle the new missions in the new area. You can download the open beta of Wildlands here.

In the next few days, I will also participate in the beta of MU Legend and make my impressions of the state of the game. This beta phase is completely in German, and we even have beta keys for you if you want to try out the action MMORPG too.

What are you playing this weekend?

Albion Online: Release-Datum bekannt – Im Sommer geht es los!

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The German development studio Sandbox Interactive has finally announced the release date of the MMORPG Albion Online. This summer, fans should make no plans.

Server Wipe and Release Date for Albion Online

The release of Albion is scheduled for July 17. Then, the story of the MMORPG officially begins.

Before that, there will be a server wipe on March 10. Everyone who is already participating in the beta will have to start over.

All premium items and spent money will be credited back to the account. After the wipe, the developers will launch the last major update “Gallahad”. With it, new cities will make their way into the MMO.

Albion Online 2
A Wipe and a Major Update

The Swamp City, Forest City, Highland City, Mountain City, Steppe City, and Royal Central City not only represent the central settlements of the individual regions and biomes, but they are also key hubs for players and the center of economic life. Because, in Albion Online, the player-driven economy is in the foreground. The MMORPG is a massive sandbox where you play a significant role in shaping the world. You can, for example, become a master crafter known throughout the land for creating your swords.

Or you might be one of the bravest miners who dares to venture into particularly dangerous areas where valuable ore can be found. However, in Albion Online, you are never locked into a single role. Based on your equipment, you determine what you want to be. If you take a pickaxe, you are a miner; if you switch to a sword, you become a fighter, and if you take up a staff, you can cast magic. Of course, you must also master each role well, so it’s important to consider any change carefully. Perhaps you want to focus on sword fighting and become a well-known warrior.

PvP in Many Forms

PvP is also important in Albion Online. In the Outlands, guild wars and territorial battles occur. Here, you can be attacked anytime and anywhere. Therefore, you should explore the royal island before visiting this area. The further you venture inland, the more dangerous it becomes. In the capital, wars and siege battles occur regularly.

If you are looking for a new sandbox MMORPG that goes a bit in the direction of Ultima Online, presents you with many challenges, but also offers you a lot of freedom, then you can mark July 17 in your calendar. The day Albion Online officially launches.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Server Status – What does Ribera 1000B mean, what does Oruro 00107 mean?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

What do the error messages for Ghost Recon Wildlands Ribera-1000b and Oruro 00107 mean?

The open beta of Ghost Recon Wildlands is apparently not going according to plan. Players are reporting error messages that prevent them from testing the beta. The errors Ribera-1000B and Oruro-00107 occur most frequently and are related to connection problems.

Ribera 1000B Fix / Fix Ribera 1000B – Server Down?

Many players are reporting the Error Code 1000B and connection issues, while others can test the open beta without problems. There is a “solution” that is not guaranteed to work. On Reddit, user throwaway9000n explains that port forwarding can fix this error on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.

First, you should ensure that your console or PC has a static IP address in the router. Then, you need to open the ports “UDP 3074-3083 TCP 14020-14024, TCP 14000, TCP 14008” in your router. This should not present any security issues.

This solution is further explained in the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJr2oZp7GcA

If opening these ports does not help, you can try another workaround on your PC. Open your antivirus system and add the GRW.exe file from your Ghost Recon Wildlands installation folder as an exception in the antivirus. The security software may have issues with Wildlands.

Ghost Recon Ribera


The third method mentioned on Reddit and in the Wildlands forums is “Just keep restarting the game, eventually it will work automatically for me.” This is certainly not a well-thought-out workaround, but if the errors occur randomly, it may be that they are resolved with a few restarts. Even though this method “screams desperation”, it has helped some players.

Another suggestion comes from our reader mellowD in the comments. If you are receiving the Ribera-1000B error despite port forwarding, a router restart might help. Then you would start Ghost Recon Wildlands.

We would like to offer you guaranteed solutions to resolve the issues, but there is currently no reliable method. As soon as there is news on this, we will inform you immediately.

Oruro Error – Beta Maintenance

The Oruro-00107 error occurs, unlike the Ribera-1000B error, for all players at the same time. The explanation for this code is apparently maintenance on the servers, causing them to be temporarily unreachable. You cannot fix this error yourself, but must wait until the maintenance is completed.

The Division Update 1.6 – The 5 most important innovations at a glance

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, Update 1.6 and Last Stand are coming. We summarize the key innovations.

On February 28, 2017, Update 1.6 and Last Stand will be released. Both content deliveries will be released simultaneously on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. While Last Stand is paid and included in the Season Pass, all agents will receive Update 1.6 at no additional cost.

Last Stand includes two major innovations:

What changes with 1.6 in The Division?

All further innovations are included in Update 1.6. This update, by the way, does not introduce a new World Tier and does not increase the Gear Score. This means that your previous items remain relevant.

Innovations in the Dark Zone

The first thing you will notice when starting 1.6 is probably the Dark Zone expansion. It receives three new areas to the north, offering nearly 100% of the play area currently occupied by the DZ. These DZ areas are meant to be darker and more dangerous than the areas in the south.

More DZ Innovations:

  • Contamination Events: Occasionally, contamination events will start in the DZ, where you need to eliminate Cleaners in heavily contaminated zones.
  • DZ Leaderboards: Your activities will be tracked and recorded in leaderboards. The better you are, the better rewards you will receive.
    division-cleaner-dark

Legendary Difficulty

The legendary difficulty will be active in the story missions Times Square, WarrenGate Power Plant, and Napalm Production Site, and aims to provide a significant PvE challenge for hardcore players.

The enemies not only have more health but also come with new behavior patterns and skills. “Legendary” is intended for well-organized teams. Unique rewards will be available for this. Read more about legendary difficulty here.

Exotic Items and Gear Innovations

A long-requested innovation that comes with 1.6: The named high-end weapons will finally become unique – they will be “exotic”. Each “named weapon” will receive a special talent, that cannot be recalibrated or transferred with AlphaBridge.

By the way: The named armor pieces will also be exotic.

Important changes to gear sets affect AlphaBridge (only the third talent will be transferred), Recovery (focuses on the support role), and Tactician’s Authority (the buff only disappears after using a skill). The announced SEEKR set will not be released.

division-last-stand-logo

For weapons, submachine guns will regain the critical hit chance bonus.

Changes to Armor and Skill Power

In short: Armor loses its significance as it can no longer provide bonuses on armor pieces. You will need to focus more on skill power if your skills are to remain effective.

However, there are still some additional changes to your armor pieces that are also retroactive. You can find the information in the provided link.

Microtransactions

Update 1.6 introduces microtransactions in the form of an in-game store and “premium credits”. Here, you can only purchase cosmetic items like emotes, weapon skins, or clothing.

Massive announced that The Division will be supported with further updates after the release of Update 1.6.

Elite Dangerous: Why Planets Have Suddenly Become Beige

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The strange beige planets that appeared in the space online game Elite: Dangerous at the end of last year have now been explained.

When the developer studio Frontier Developments launched Update 2.2 at the end of last year, fans of Elite: Dangerous were a bit surprised. Many of the actually pretty and colorful planets suddenly appeared in a rather dull beige. Now there is also an explanation for this.

Elite Dangerous Horizons Surface
The dull coloring of the planets has a simple reason

Developer Michael Brookes apologized for only responding now. The reason for the new coloring of some planets is that a new system for rendering the worlds has been introduced. The look is determined by the chemical properties of the resources found on the planets. However, the developers use a system where the colors correspond to the standard coloring of these materials as they occur on Earth. And this is often a shade of beige or brown.

A new system is supposed to provide more color variety

However, it has been overlooked that the planets can have completely different conditions than Earth, which should make the coloring of the resources more varied. The development team now wants to work on a new system that should make the planets colorful again. However, this will require a greater effort, which is why this change should not be expected in one of the next updates.

Thus, the coloring of the worlds in Elite: Dangerous has a simple explanation, which may disappoint some players. There were already wild speculations within the community about a kind of infection slowly spreading over the planets.

Overwatch Roadhog: Nerf for Hook – Soon no more Stun Effect?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The hook of Roadhog in Overwatch will likely be nerfed again soon. The stun effect will be a thing of the past.

With the latest major patch of Overwatch, the balance of the game has been adjusted significantly, and especially Roadhog’s hook has lost some of its fear factor. He is no longer able to pull opponents “around corners” – but this came with a trade-off. The victims of Roadhog now land much more precisely right in front of him, which especially leads to a guaranteed kill against “smaller” characters like Lúcio or Ana.

overwatch skin christmas epic roadhog rudolph

In the official forum, many players still consider the hefty character too powerful, as he remains the undisputed king of duels. Hardly any character can survive his combo. The user Infenyte suggested making the hook work more like Junkrat’s trap. This would mean that most heroes could not use abilities while hooked, but could still use their weapons. Especially “injured” Roadhogs would have to think twice about whether they really want to pull an opponent close to them.

Geoff Goodman, the Principal Designer of Overwatch, responded quickly:

“I have already thought about this idea before, but to be honest, we have never tried it. It would be relatively easy to give it a try, and it’s probably worth testing to see how it feels for both sides.”

This clearly indicates that Roadhog’s hook will receive another nerf in one of the upcoming updates – at least for testing purposes on the PTR.

Overwatch Roadhog

Especially heroes like Mei or Reaper, who each have an “invulnerability effect”, could additionally free themselves from the hook. Especially Reaper would then pose an even greater threat to the 600-HP meatball.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Bonus-Missionen für Beta-Teilnehmer – Tötet El Comandante

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

For players of the Open Beta of Ghost Recon Wildlands, there are bonus missions in the main game.

Yesterday, the open beta of Ghost Recon Wildlands started, and players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC have been playing as Ghosts in Bolivia to take down the Santa Blanca drug cartel. During the testing phase, you have access to the two regions Itacua and Montuyoc, where you can complete missions.

Participants of this open beta will receive rewards that you can then get in the main game.

Bonus Missions for Open Beta Players

The developers reward the testing of Ghost Recon Wildlands with additional missions. Players who participated in the closed beta or in the open beta of Wildlands and purchase the game before March 31 will gain access to the Unidad Conspiracy Reward. This includes three missions that take place in the Unidad stronghold in the Media Luna region.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Header

El Comandante, a leader of Unidad, wants to take over the cartel and put the drug trade in the hands of Unidad. As Ghosts, it is your task to uncover this action and undermine the relationship between Unidad and the Santa Blanca drug cartel. Additionally, El Comandante is your target that you should eliminate.

You can download the Unidad Conspiracy Reward after the game’s release.

Twitch Prime Bonus for Ghost Recon Wildlands

There are also rewards for Twitch Prime subscribers in Wildlands. As reported by VG247, there will be the “War Within the Cartel” pack in March, featuring digital rewards such as patches, a Santa Blanca cap, and t-shirt for your characters, as well as the “Santa Blanca Scorpion” weapon skin.

For Honor: More than 400 players banned – also innocent?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In For Honor, some players are complaining about being banned unjustly. Ubisoft has responded.

Just a few days ago, Ubisoft announced that they will take ruthless action against cheaters and hackers in For Honor. They are leveraging the experience they have already gained from other Ubisoft games (like The Division) in the fight against fraud.

for-honor-kampf

If several user reports on Reddit are to be believed, the anti-cheat system in For Honor is going a bit too rigorously. Users are complaining about being banned unjustly. One Reddit user mentions that he doesn’t even own For Honor, yet received an email informing him of his ban. Another user received over 11,000 upvotes when he shared his plight about being banned without ever having played.

for-honor-kampf-alle

Apparently, such unfortunate incidents have occurred more often. Even players who own the game report being banned despite being unaware of any wrongdoing. Here, a Reddit moderator pointed out that bans can also be issued if unauthorized aids are used in single-player mode – after all, the campaign also requires a constant internet connection. Furthermore, even seemingly harmless third-party tools could face issues with the anti-cheat system.

What does Ubisoft say about it?

Recently, Ubisoft spoke out again on the topic of “cheating”: They have now identified and banned nearly 400 cheaters with their anti-cheat program. Additionally, 70 other players were banned for inappropriate emblems or harassment. All bans affect the account, not the hardware.

Once the program raises an alarm, the violation is reviewed by the team. If it can be verified, Ubisoft imposes the sanction. The player then receives an email with all the details.

Furthermore: Banned players who believe they are innocent can file a complaint. They are encouraged to contact customer support. Ubisoft looks into these cases and will decide on a case-by-case basis. Via Kotaku, a Ubisoft representative stated that they are aware of ban issues. For more information about the sanctions, you can read at the Ubi support.

In Destiny, the Agent of the Nine is coming today, on February 24th. Where is Xur? What items does he have on offer?

Last week, update 2.5.0.2 was deployed, which brought some balance changes to PvP. However, players and developers are not happy with the current power dynamics, which is why plans for further sandbox adjustments are already being made.

Pistols are supposed to be slightly nerfed, while the Truth will be buffed. Bungie is also addressing the “Iron Lord” artifact Skorris’ Reverie. All planned changes can be found at the provided link.

WoW: Mehr Legendaries für Zweit- und Dritt-Speccs in Patch 7.2!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

With patch 7.2 of World of Warcraft, Legendaries rain for the second and third specialization of your characters.

Yesterday, on 23.02.2017, Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft, along with Community Manager Josh Allen, held a livestream with a large Q&A session. One topic that has developed into a real hot topic is legendary items and their distribution rates.

wow-legion-ion-hazzikostas-josh-allen-interview

Ion Hazzikostas explained the rough plan for patch 7.2, which should make it significantly easier for players on a second or third specialization to obtain legendary items when they do not already have one for that specialization. Currently, the game checks how many legendary items a character has already received. The first legendary item has a greatly increased chance and drops very early, the second often follows a few days later. All further Legendaries then require more time/luck, as the additional bonus is gone. With patch 7.2, the game instead checks whether you already have a Legendary for your current specialization and adjusts your loot chances accordingly.

Wow priest healer

An example: Let’s say you are a Shadow Priest and already own two legendary items that are suitable for your shadow specialization. If you now switch to Holy, the game recognizes that you do not have a suitable Legendary for this specialization – you have therefore received “0 Legendaries” so far. As long as you now play Holy (and have chosen this loot specialization), the drop chance for the first and second Legendary of the Holy specialization is greatly increased again! This is to make it easier for players to switch specializations later without being forever damned to play the first specialization due to Legendaries already dropped.

However, one should take the statements with caution, as patch 7.2 is currently on the test realm and many details may change by the official release.

In patch 7.2, there is also a new trait for the artifact weapon, in which up to 50 levels can be invested.

Destiny: February Iron Banner has a date, Truth will be buffed!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

The Iron Banner in February 2017 has a date in Destiny. Additionally, a balancing is underway. Initial information is known.

In the “This Week at Bungie” there is some information about the future of Destiny. Regarding the start of the February Iron Banner. Many Guardians expected a date this week or last week, now we know:

  • The February Iron Banner starts on February 28 at 7 PM.
  • It ends on March 7 at 10 AM with the weekly reset.
  • The game mode is Control.
    destiny-sniper-eisenbanner

This time, the sniper rifle and the hand cannon are featured. Information about these weapons can be found in our overview of Iron Banner weapons since RoI. The armor pieces are the helmet and leg armor.

Next weapon balancing is coming

Senior Designer Josh Hamrick talks about the current meta in PvP and what changes will be implemented in the future. However, these adjustments are still being tested and may change. However, they want to give the Guardians an early look:

  • Pistols: These are currently too dominant. The plan is for pistols to still provide a small amount of special ammo after death, but not save any extra. This means you will have to look for special ammo crates more often.
  • Skorri’s Revenge: For the effect of Skorri to take place, you need to get a kill first. The effect lasts for a minute. After that, another kill is required. Bungie believes that this will not have a big impact in PvE, as you should be able to kill an enemy every 60 seconds. But in the Trials, the Skorri bearers will be forced into more activity.
  • Truth: This rocket launcher was harshly nerfed with 2.5.0.2. It can now carry only one projectile. The change now allows you to gain an additional projectile in your inventory and the reload speed of the Truth will be maximized.
  • No Land Beyond: The flinch will be adjusted – it will be made like other sniper rifles.
  • Quick Teleport: The recovery nerf will be removed. Additionally, the time during which the HUD is disabled will be shorter.
    destiny-prolog

These changes will come alongside those related to the regeneration perks. There is no specific date yet for when this patch will be deployed.

Finally, the Community Manager Cozmo reveals that we may receive a roadmap for March next week – what to expect this month.

WoW: The Broken Shore in Patch 7.2 – the Tanaan Jungle 2.0?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Devastated Coast of Patch 7.2 in WoW shows strong parallels to the Jungle of Tanaan from WoW – is that good?

The upcoming Patch 7.2 is currently on the test server of World of Warcraft. As Blizzard has announced, most features of the patch are now available with the latest update, and in the coming weeks, the focus will mainly be on fixing bugs and balancing the new game content.

wow legion devastated coast 1

The Devastated Coast suspiciously resembles the Tanaan Jungle from the previous expansion Warlords of Draenor. The parallels are so significant that some players are already wrinkling their noses and hoping, “Blizzard, please no.”

The parallels between the Devastated Coast and the Jungle of Tanaan

  • In the area, there is a new currency that appears similar to Apex crystals – Nethersplitter. These can be used to purchase various rewards but should also help advance the upgrade of the base of Legionfall (the new faction).
  • As in Tanaan, there are also various equipment tokens in the area of the Devastated Coast. With a simple click, one receives – depending on the type of token – a suitable item for their class. This should be especially rewarding for newcomers and alt characters, allowing them to reach a high gear standard quickly. By the way, the tokens have a small chance to create a legendary item when used!
  • The Devastated Coast has a total of 4 different world bosses, all of which drop loot with an item level of 890 (and can be upgraded with luck).
WoW Tanaan jungle story
Another trip to the Tanaan Jungle? No, thank you!

Cortyn says: Tanaan was a personal low point for me in Warlords of Draenor, it was farming and grinding in its purest form. I can only hope that the Devastated Coast does not develop in the same direction because I will quickly turn my back on it. However, the world quests system may solve the problem, so you don’t spend all day hanging out on the coast. The other areas of Legion are simply too beautiful for that.

I will get a precise impression of it myself on the PTR in the next few days. Maybe everything is much better than feared.

Soon, WoW will also no longer work on the old operating systems Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Connection Issues: No connection to the server / Beta Portal

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The open beta of Ghost Recon Wildlands is not running as smoothly as desired. Many players are struggling with connection issues.

Today, the open beta of the tactical shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands started. However, this test phase has not started as well as players hoped. Currently, users on PS4, Xbox One, and PC are facing connection issues to the Ubisoft servers. The error message indicates that users should visit the beta portal for more information about the problems.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta Portal

Many users are complaining on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks about issues with the Ghost Recon Wildlands servers. The error appears upon connection attempts:

“Error, Unable to connect to the Ghost Recon Wildlands servers. Check out www.ghostrecon.com/betaportal for more information about the server status and scheduled downtime.” However, the address to the beta portal only redirects to the general beta website and provides no information about potential server downtime.

Error code RIBERA 1000B in Ghost Recon Wildlands

Many users see the server code Ribera-1000B. This seems to be the code for “We cannot reach the servers.” It is suspected that it could be due to the servers being overloaded at the moment.

Server down in Ghost Recon Wildlands

In the forums, the team from Ubisoft has now stated that they are aware of the connection issues on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 and are working on a solution.

Ghost Recon Wildlands connection issues

However, the problems do not affect all players, but only part of them. There were already maintenance works on the PlayStation4 servers of the game today, which lasted for an hour. Whether there will be further maintenance to make the servers more stable in the coming days is currently unknown.

As soon as we have news about the server issues in Ghost Recon Wildlands, we will inform you.

In some cases, a simple reboot has helped – in that case, the welcome video for the beta must be watched twice.

Update 10:20 PM: Around 9:20 PM, there was maintenance on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. On PS4, the maintenance of the servers lasted 15 minutes. On Xbox One and PC, it lasted a bit longer. The maintenance work is now completed – the issues have been resolved.

Pokémon GO: Regional Pokémon – These can not be found in Germany

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Some monsters in Pokémon GO are regionally restricted and only available in certain countries – We show you which the regional Pokémon are and where you can find them.

To complete your collection in Pokémon GO, you need to catch many different Pokémon. However, some of these Pokémon are exclusive to certain countries and regions and therefore cannot be found in Germany, for example. From the first generation, Tauros, Pantimos, Porenta, and Kangama belong to these special monsters. With the release of the second generation, more Pokémon are now exclusively available in certain countries.

Regional Exclusive Pokémon

To catch all monsters in Pokémon GO, one must travel the world. This applies to both wild Pokémon and Pokémon that hatch from eggs. It is not possible for regional Pokémon to hatch from eggs if you have not obtained those eggs in the corresponding country. A Kangama cannot hatch from an egg that you found in Germany, but only from eggs that were found in Australia and its surroundings. The current locations for regional Pokémon:

  • Europe: Pantimos
  • North America: Tauros
  • Australia: Kangama
  • Asia: Porenta

Regional Pokémon of the 2nd generation:

  • Latin America, South Florida, and Texas: Skaraborn
  • Tropics: Corasonn
Pokémon GO Regional Pokémon

The exact locations of the new Pokémon are still being determined. Niantic has not released any official information on this topic, leaving trainers to discover where they can find the special monsters on their own. The shown map summarizes the collected data by Reddit user oktimeforplanb. Notably, Corasonn has been found between latitudes 31N and 26S according to preliminary results. Trainers are now searching for further spawn points of Corasonn to create a more accurate map.

These Pokémon of the 3rd generation are regionally exclusive

Therefore, anyone who wants to have their PokéDex complete must visit many different places around the world. In America, one even has the chance to encounter three of the regional Pokémon, while here in Europe there is only one. We will update the article if there are more details.

Casuals can stay outside – LoL wants gamers as employees, not Candy Crush players

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Riot, the creators behind League of Legends (LoL), are looking for gamers as employees.

On the business site LinkedIn, Benjamin Pommeraud has outlined Riot’s unique recruitment policy. Pommeraud is the General Manager for Riot Games in Singapore and Malaysia.

The most important thing to work for Riot is to be a “gamer.” Only if you are a gamer can you build games for other gamers.

At Riot, they make games for “core gamers.” They believe that while every player who plays a game is somewhat a gamer, they do not build games for those at Riot.

LoL is a multiplayer game – easy to learn, hard to master. It is competitive. Who wants to play Candy Crush is also a gamer. And that is a good game. However, it is not the game they make at Riot.

LoL Kayle Skin Riot

Players who enjoy Riot games play a lot. They have high expectations, as gaming is their passion, an important part of their lives. To develop games for this type of player, one must think, feel, and act like them, Pommeraud believes.

Even an accountant at Riot benefits from being a gamer, as it allows him to understand the company much better. However, he does not need to have any idea about game design.

Casual vs. Core Gamers: There are such gamers and those gamers

Mein MMO believes: One has to smile at the text because it is apparent that Pommeraud does not want to step on anyone’s toes, but the message is clear.

This is the “politically correct” attempt to say: There are gamers and gamers, and the other gamers might play, but … we play for real. Candy Crush serves as a symbol for the “casuals”, the casual gamers – even though Pommeraud never utters the nasty “C” word.

The best part is here:

At Riot, we make games for what we call “core gamers.” Not that we don’t think that anybody who plays games is a gamer, but we build a specific type of games.

You can already hear: Not that we have anything against casual players, but …

Being a “gamer” is part of a culture and a feeling of life, embracing it as a part of one’s identity, related to the value of the hobby. Core gamers do not just play, they live gaming and this lifestyle. It’s identity-forming.

LoL Warwick Skin Splash

This is naturally elitist, arrogant, and somewhat odd – but my goodness, many passions are like that. A fanatic follower of a football club, an ultra, sees himself differently than the family father who watches a game from home. And so passionate LoL players see themselves differently than those who pick up Candy Crush from time to time.

This “being a gamer” is a trend that has already expressed itself unpleasantly: “Games belong to us, you can stay out.” However, at Riot, it seems they have directed this into positive channels. Success proves them right. Riot is regarded as a close-knit community, a kind of family. And only allowing people who fit into the family is a legitimate recruitment philosophy.

By the way, Riot has already made it multiple times onto the list of the best workplaces in the USA:

The Division: Last Stand und Update 1.6 – Release-Termin steht!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, the Update 1.6 and “Last Stand” have a release date for PS4, PC, and Xbox One!

Now it is official: The Update 1.6 and “Last Stand” have passed the reviews from Microsoft and Sony. This was just confirmed in the livestream “State of the Game”. The content delivery will be deployed at the earliest possible time.

  • The date is February 28, 2017. This is a Tuesday. Maintenance work will take place in the morning, so the start is expected around 12:30 PM.
    division-last-stand-agenten

Important: Update 1.6 and Last Stand will be released on all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC) simultaneously. The time exclusivity for Xbox One and PC is now over.

Further information from the “State of the Game” on February 23.:

  • On February 28, Massive will hold a 24-hour stream presenting “Last Stand”. If you cannot start directly, you can check it out there.
  • In the stream, Hamish Bode confirmed again that after 1.6, further updates for The Division will come. However, this cannot be discussed at present. Additionally, Massive is working on improving server performance. Furthermore, the “PS4 Pro” version will receive additional improvements.
  • The full patch notes for 1.6 will be released on the Monday before the release. We will report on that. However, they should not contain major surprises.
    division-last-stand

The February 28th as the release date for 1.6 and “Last Stand” is not too surprising. This date had already appeared in the Ubi forum weeks ago. The community developer Yannick Bancherau posted it hastily in the PTS patch notes. However, after a few minutes, this date was removed from the site. Apparently, the plan of Massive and Ubisoft worked, so this release date can now be met.

For Honor: Spieler kritisieren das Endgame – Rache zu stark

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In For Honor, some players are dissatisfied with the endgame gear: The Revenge mode is too strong because of this.

Ubisoft’s melee game For Honor has only been on the market for a good week. But already after a few days, the first players reported: “I have reached the maximum!”

This means they have boosted their fighter’s glory rank and filled every equipment slot with legendary items. Your character gear level is 108 – it can’t go any higher.

for honor kensei

In the official “For Honor” forum, players are now talking about the achieved endgame – and especially lamenting one thing: the Revenge.

The Revenge is too strong in the endgame

A user writes that the endgame gear is completely “broken”, meaning that it significantly affects the player experience. The reason for this is that the best items provide too high bonuses to character stats. Especially the Revenge is “overpowered”.

With the helmet, you can extend the duration of the Revenge state, with the weapon parts increase attack and defense in Revenge mode as well as gain more Revenge Plus through injury and through defense.

The “Revenge Plus” bonus causes the Revenge to charge faster in combat. If you have the right endgame items for this, you can activate the Revenge every few strikes – even in 1v1 (that is, in Dominion or Deathmatch, when you are only fighting against one enemy).

for-honor-kampf

The Revenge mode temporarily boosts damage and health and results in knocking down attacking opponents when activated. Downed opponents are easy targets for you to deal devastating damage. Detailed information about the Revenge can be found here.

In the endgame, many players therefore rely on such Revenge builds – that is, character setups aimed at the Revenge. Because if you can use this temporary boost often, you significantly increase your chances of winning. Originally, the Revenge is meant to give you a higher chance of survival when fighting multiple enemies. However, it is now activated constantly in the endgame.

Many endgame players are therefore demanding that Ubisoft rework the “Revenge” mode. A petition has already been set up on Reddit for the Revenge to have a cooldown. Because it has little to do with a fair duel when the Revenge is activated every few hits. Users complain: This makes the endgame not fun!

Have you already reached gear level 108 with your character? What are your experiences?

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

The Patch OB 44 of Paladins is now live and marks the beginning of Season 1. The patch came earlier than expected and causes some issues, Hi-Rez is working on a solution. 

Earlier than expected, Patch OB 44 went live at Paladins. Actually, the recent changes to the patch were supposed to be tested on the PTR for a few more days. According to studio Hi-Rez, there were technical problems with the test server, which is why Patch OB 44 was launched earlier than planned.

Patch OB 44 is the start of Season 1 in Paladins.

Patch OB 44 comes with bugs, Hi-Rez is working on a hot-fix

However, the launch of OB 44 caused some problems. Players could not log in and reported bugs.

These problems are known:

  • Radiant Chests sometimes do not give any Essence. As soon as there is a fix for this, players will receive the Essence they are entitled to.
  • Survival mode has been temporarily removed from the game.
  • Barik has been temporarily removed from the game.
  • Radiant Chests for reaching certain Mastery levels were not delivered due to a large number of players. A hot-fix for this issue is supposed to be released today, allowing players to receive the missing chests.
  • Some maps that have already been unlocked have disappeared for some players.

Studio Hi-Rez is currently working to fix the bugs and is asking its players for some patience. In a tweet, Hi-Rez Community Manager “Alyssa” announced a hot-fix.

https://twitter.com/HiRezAlyssa/status/834767531839733760

With Patch OB 44, the new legendary cards come to Paladins, upgrading champions with powerful abilities. Each champion has three legendary cards available, one of which is already unlocked. The other two must be unlocked by players using the new currency Essence.
