Destiny: The Gjallarhorn among the Artifacts – That’s why Skorris’ Tribute needs a nerf

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, many Guardians are calling for a revision of the artifact “Skorris Memory.” Why is that?

Just about a week ago, Bungie’s live stream for update 2.5.0.2. This balance patch will adjust some weapons and focuses and bring changes that are currently not known. During the Twitch stream, however, the user chat was not only about weapons and Guardian classes: It repeatedly read: “Nerf Skorri”, “Fix Skorri”. Why is that?

By “Skorri,” the “Iron Lord” artifact Skorris Memory is meant. It has the ability: When your Super is full, the Super attacks of nearby allies charge faster. 

Skorris Memory breaks Osiris

If you play Destiny solo, Skorris Memory brings you little. However, if you play in a group, it is excellent in PvE as well as PvP, as you can trigger your Supers more often, thereby gaining important advantages. If you also use equipment that buffs the Supers, you have an excellent artifact.

Especially the Trials of Osiris prove to be a game mode in which Skorri shines. The members of a fireteam are usually close to each other to avoid opening weaknesses. Many Trials players therefore camp with Skorris Memory, collect their Supers, and use them when the opponent approaches.

In the Trials, you can be sure that one of the opposing Guardians wears this artifact. On reddit, a Guardian compares the status of Skorri to that of the Gjallarhorn from year 1: The Gjallarhorn used to be essential in every situation, now it is Skorris Memory – at least in the Trials. Those who do not have it equipped are at a disadvantage.

Artifacts are being examined

Shortly after the launch of “Rise of Iron”, the strong advantages of Skorri were discovered. Already in October, some users wrote: Skorris Memory will surely be nerfed soon!

However, the months passed and no balance adjustments came. The weapon balancing also took forever to arrive. Only about 5 months later will it be released on February 14. But Skorries Memory remains unaffected. Update 2.5.0.2 brings no new changes here.

However, the community manager DeeJ indicated: The next content update will also address the sandbox. He revealed that this update may have an artifact patch in tow. It is expected to be released in spring. We will see if Skorri will be weakened then.

Is Skorris Memory always with you too?

Skylords Reborn: Battleforge kehrt zurück

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Battleforge was one of the first representatives of online collectible card games, but the concept did not really take off at the time of its release in 2009. In late 2013, the game was discontinued by publisher Electronic Arts.

However, fans have been working for some time on a revival of the game. Battleforge Reborn was already well advanced last summer. A beta was just around the corner. But then it became silent again around the game.

Now the developers have returned and announced that they will release the game under the name Skylords Reborn. After negotiations with Electronic Arts, the company agreed to allow the developers to publish the game – however, not with the original name.

battleforge 2
Developers are allowed to earn money

Additionally, EA made some further demands. While the team is allowed to develop new content, all DLCs must be free. Nevertheless, EA wants to allow the developers to earn some money with the game. After all, operating the servers, providing services, and developing new content will cost money.

However, the team has not yet disclosed how exactly this monetization will look. One way will be donations.

New content is planned

With this deal, it is now possible to operate the project beyond the original goal. This goal was only to restore Battleforge to the state it was in before the servers were shut down. Now the team can even develop additional content. The developers also promise that they will never turn the game into a pay-to-win or pay-to-play product.

The team intends to announce soon when a release of Skylords Reborn can be expected.

Pokémon GO: Calm before the storm? Release of the 2nd generation expected

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The release of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO may include the changes that many trainers have been waiting for for months.

Pokémon GO is an augmented reality game that was released in summer 2016 and has captivated many trainers around the world since then. In the meantime, the number of players has significantly decreased, as the initial hype has faded. Reasons for the declining player numbers include missing mechanics such as a trading feature that would enhance the game.

New hopes for trainers arose during the Christmas season when Niantic introduced the baby Pokémon of the 2nd generation into the game. Since then, players have been waiting for more new monsters to find their way into Pokémon GO.

Niantic now confirms: Trading feature and PvP battles are already on the way!

The calm before the storm?

The hype of Pokémon GO caught the developers by surprise, especially in the first weeks and months. There were constant server issues that prevented smooth gameplay. Instead of enjoying exciting Pokémon adventures, there was frustration and smartphone restarts galore. As a result, Niantic had to push forward and improve the game in many areas. Such improvements take time and resources and can disrupt the game’s original plans.

Pokemon Go Starter Start

After such significant problems, it takes time to recover. In recent months, players have not seen any “big” changes, but rather small improvements: the activation of the buddy Pokémon, daily rewards, and baby Pokémon of the 2nd generation. Niantic has been working to develop the platform for something big.

Pokémon GO has been tidied up

Dataminers have closely monitored and analyzed changes in the APK versions of Pokémon GO in recent months. In addition to the obvious changes, it was noticed during the analysis that the code has been reduced to its essentials. This means that redundant code has been removed and there are fewer factors for potential errors in the game.

Pokémon GO

Niantic’s server structure has been massively improved, positively impacting the game’s performance and reliability. The game uses less bandwidth and still achieves a better connection with lower latency. While many improvements may not be immediately visible, they are nonetheless active in the background and change the game. However, it takes time to rebuild a game that initially faced so many technical problems.

The release of the 2nd Gen could change a lot in the game

If Niantic announces the release of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO, the game will change significantly. Because if 100 new Pokémon are unlocked in the game, the developers will likely not only celebrate this with a double XP weekend but also have reason for a big event. There is a possibility of unlocking many additional features and functions in the game that have already been discovered by dataminers in the code.

These could also be unlocked alongside the many new Pokémon.

Pokémon GO Unown

While there are currently no direct hints regarding the trading feature requested by fans, the aforementioned features will also significantly change the game. For Niantic, these are not small changes. Incorporating 100 new Pokémon into the game, adjusting their rarity, and defining their strengths are steps that should be well thought out and prepared. Through the continuous improvement of Pokémon GO and its servers, a foundation has been laid for such significant changes.

Whether Niantic plans to implement the release of the 2nd generation in this way can currently only be speculated. When Nintendo introduced Pokémon Gold and Silver, there were many more changes in the games alongside the 100 new monsters. These included shiny Pokémon, genders, and new Poké Balls.

Lack of content in Pokémon GO also worries YouTubers.

Obsidian arbeitet nicht mehr an Armored Warfare – Insider-Bericht mit Vorwürfen

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The studio Obsidian is no longer working on the F2P tank game Armored Warfare. The work is moving to Russia. An insider report is causing a stir behind the scenes.

Armored Warfare is a F2P action MMO, similar to World of Tanks. The studio Obsidian Entertainment was long known as a contractor for other studios, implementing versions of well-known franchises, and developing games like Fallout: New Vegas. Recently, they have had their own hits with Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny.

Obsidian developed Armored Warfare in collaboration with the Russian studio and publisher my.com as a contract job. However, they are now withdrawing from the game, as the work is shifting completely to Moscow. This had already been anticipated in the past. Statements indicate that Obsidian now has other commitments. My.com assures that they can fully take over support and development. Everything sounds quite peaceful.

Insider report causes trouble, attacks mail.ru

But things behind the scenes were not running smoothly. A supposed insider report has appeared on reddit. Someone writes, claiming he was a design consultant. He reports problems in the development between Obsidian and Mail.ru, the Russian corporation behind my.com. There were differing visions for Armored Warfare.

Mail.ru only wanted a “World of Tanks” clone

He accuses mail.ru of wanting to design only a “World of Tanks” clone for the Russian market to quickly make money. Mail.ru cannot see beyond the Russian market.

Obsidian, on the other hand, wanted to develop a completely original game, according to the insider. However, they were regularly held back by the Russians. After the technical alpha, Mail.Ru heard the criticism “You are just making a clone” and then gave Obsidian more leeway to implement their visions.

The conflict brewed beneath the surface. The impression is created that Obsidian wanted to make a big hit, while Mail.Ru only aimed for a piece of the “World of Tanks” pie, which Wargaming is currently almost monopolizing.

Armored Warfare

Mail.Ru was satisfied with how much the Russian market liked their version of Armored Warfare, says the insider. The Western market, which Obsidian targeted, was of no concern to them. As an example, the rudimentary base building can be cited. For Obsidian, it was only a first step, just as it was implemented in the game. In Russia, they were totally satisfied with it and decided: This is now the final version.

Allegedly a PS4 and Xbox One version of Armored Warfare in development

Further reports claim: MailRu ultimately terminated the contract with Obsidian and took over the development. Obsidian did not want to stop; they would have liked to continue developing.

A lot of people in Russia had already been working on the “Xbox One” and PS4 version of Armored Warfare. So they could just do everything at once. Obsidian-friendly employees at my.com lost their jobs and were replaced by Mail.ru personnel.

This information is unconfirmed. We will probably never get confirmation. But if a PS4 or Xbox One port of Armored Warfare appears soon, then … we should dig up the insider report again.

Overwatch: When Zarya simply uses Junkrat – the PotGs of the week

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Sometimes Zarya demands a blood sacrifice – in this case it was probably Junkrat, who was rewarded for it. Our Overwatch Play of the Game of the week.

Every week absurd, exciting, or simply funny moments occur in Overwatch, which are often captured in a “Play of the Game”. We have once again searched social media and selected three special highlights for you. Enjoy our 3 “Play of the Game” moments of the week!

Sometimes in life, one is faced with difficult questions. Does Zarya extend Junkrat’s life for a few seconds? Or does she use Junkrat as an effective bait to take out the entire enemy team? When Reptarlogan is surrounded by enemies, Zarya does the only right thing: she fires her ultimate at the dying Junkrat. This indeed guarantees him a certain death, but also provides a quadruple kill and thus a worthy “Play of the Game” – without any contribution from him.

Among the traditional German virtues are probably punctuality and precision. Exactly these qualities GenericZombies utilizes to intercept the enemy flag carrier as Reinhardt (who else?) with pinpoint accuracy and long-term planning. No one escapes an angry Crusader – and no one steals the flag from Reinhardt.

https://gfycat.com/ImmediateFastGermanspaniel

Lastly, here is a clip from the category “Too cool for school”, which impressively demonstrates how much one can achieve in Overwatch with a comprehensive map understanding and precision. Vanquish in the form of McCree proves on Route 66 that he knows the smallest nooks of the map and can handle his revolver quite accurately.

WoW: Vin Diesel – A round of PvP in Warcraft is always good

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

If Vin Diesel is not dodging explosions and racing fast cars, then he is beating people up – at least in the arena of World of Warcraft.

You would think that superstars have very little time during a promotional tour for their new movies to relax and dive into video games. But this does not apply when your name is Vin Diesel and you are an avid player of World of Warcraft.

Currently, Vin Diesel (Fast and the Furious, Riddick) is on a tour through China to promote his new film “xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage”. However, he does not hesitate to play a few extended rounds of World of Warcraft with his brother to give all potential opponents a hard time in the arena.

How do we know this? He shares it himself on Facebook. In a short video, where Diesel admittedly does not seem completely awake, he reveals what his evening plans look like. And they include plenty of honor points.

https://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel/videos/10155110891513313/

However, we do not find out his character name and faction – which is probably for the best, as otherwise Vin Diesel would hardly have any peace in the game.

Vin Diesel is generally considered a passionate gamer who openly embraces this hobby and always finds time to dive into digital parallel universes for a few hours.

The Division: Massive restarts servers – Is it better now?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In The Division, Massive restarted some servers. These caused issues.

A few days ago, we reported that many agents were collectively complaining about the servers. The server performance is terrible and is getting worse. Bullets are not registering, healing is not effective, and lag is rampant.

Massive responded that they are investigating these issues and will provide new information soon. And they have done so: On the evening of Sunday, February 12th, they announced:

We restarted some of our game servers that were causing a problem.

Whether this restart is the solution to all inconveniences is doubtful. Some users on reddit are already saying they haven’t noticed any improvements.

Therefore, the question for you: Is it running better for you than before?

For Honor: Open Beta is over – This faction has won

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

The open beta for For Honor has now ended. One realm has emerged victorious from the Faction War and can celebrate the victory.

On Sunday evening at 23:00 our time, the beta for For Honor ended. In the final minutes, it was unclear who had won the Faction War. The Faction War is the result of all the carnage during the beta. It’s not just about honor and the right to rise above the others, but Ubisoft also offered cosmetic rewards.

Although the Knights were ahead in the end, the Vikings had significantly closed the gap in the final hours. If the next round still counted, they would have secured the victory.

There was a discussion for almost an hour about who had won. Then came the news from Ubisoft: The Knights have won.

WoW Screenshots: Das Grabmal des Sargeras – ein grausig-schöner Schlachtzug

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The first images from the Tomb of Sargeras, the raid from Patch 7.2 of World of Warcraft reveal: It will be a stylish raid!

The Patch 7.2 for World of Warcraft is called “The Tomb of Sargeras” and introduces the raid of the same name. While the first boss fights can already be tested on the PTR, the team from wowhead has taken the time to create a lot of screenshots of the zone.

Wow Tomb of Sargeras Elven Glasses

Although the “Tomb of Sargeras” has a rather demon-infested name, one must not forget that the original purpose of the building was to be the heart of an elven civilization. To be precise, the tomb was even connected to Suramar by a bridge and is thus structurally similar – albeit without influences from the nightborne, but rather from the night elves as they lived over 10,000 years ago.

WoW Tomb of Sargeras Azshara Statue Elune

At the beginning, there are particularly beautiful stained glass windows showing elves using the Pillars of Creation.

WoW Tomb of Sargeras Hall with tree

Deeper in the raid, you can find the “Abyssal Throne”, where a huge night elf statue decorates the room, extending a large bowl of Elune – the elf’s clothing strongly resembles that of Queen Azshara, as seen from the Well of Eternity.

WoW Tomb of Sargeras Guldans skeletton

Especially nostalgic will be the old Warcraft fans who will surely find the skeleton of the first Gul’Dan in the dungeon, who met his death in the tomb…

The shown screenshots are from wowhead (see sources).

Cortyn says: As already seen in the Nighthold, I find it surprising how well the developers have managed to find a balance between “pretty” and “tainted”. Especially the glass images of the night elves and the large statue (Azshara?) give the associated rooms a great atmosphere, where one would rather spend hours role-playing than beating any demons back into the Nether. But well: First the beating, then the discussing.

Paladins will receive a “legendary” companion – Maximillian of Nordhain with Patch 7.2!

Kingdom under Fire 2: Most Expensive Korean MMO of All Time Set to Release for PS4 and PC

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Kingdom under Fire 2 is set to be the most expensive MMO from Korea. When will it come to Europe?

There is news about Kingdom under Fire 2. This is a siege MMO where players command a large army but can also get their hands bloody.

Kingdom under Fire 2 has a long and convoluted development history. It was announced back in 2009 for PS3 and Xbox 360. We have covered the development history multiple times. Because there have been several attempts by Blueside to rekindle players’ awareness, but somehow the engine is sputtering.

KuF2

So today only the new information. This time it should really start soon, even in the far east:

China first, Russia second … and Germany maybe third?

  • Kingdom under Fire 2 has cost 78 million US dollars to develop, making it the most expensive Korean MMO of all time, claims the game director in an interview.
  • KuF2 is set to enter an open beta in March in China, without a wipe – thus in a soft launch.
  • It is expected to come to Russia in summer 2017 and transition to an open beta there in autumn.
  • After Russia, the focus will be on North America, Europe, Japan and Korea. A launch for PC and PS4 is planned simultaneously in North America and Europe.

  • The PC version runs with the Blueside 2.0 Engine. It supports up to 10,000 units simultaneously. The average internet connection in South Korea can handle this, but there are doubts that the infrastructure of other countries can manage so many simultaneous units.
  • The PS4 version is supposed to run with the Blueside 3.0 Engine. It can display up to 60,000 units simultaneously – after the PS4 launch, the PC version is also expected to function under the 3.0 Engine.
Vampir-KUF2
Vampire in Kingdom under Fire 2. a new class.
  • At the moment, the team is working on more endgame content. They plan a raid with its own storyline that players should spend three months on.
  • A new class is supposed to come to KuF 2 every 4 or 5 months.
  • It should be possible to build villages and develop cities – this will be part of the guild system.
  • They at least want to try out VR, a VR demo is planned for May or June.

Mein MMO says: One should not immediately turn the hope up to the max. There have been too many disappointments in the past for that. Kingdom under Fire II is certainly a game that will still be kept an eye on, even if perhaps only in the far corners of one’s vision.

Paladins: I can only think about the maps – How I became a Paladins fan

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

Leya has been intensely playing Paladins for weeks and wants to tell you why she can’t put the game down.

A few weeks ago, my boss asked me if I would like to delve deeper into Paladins. Naturally, I am curious about new things and immediately went on an exploration tour of Paladins.

The result: I searched for Paladins and have to hold myself back from playing late into the night.

GGEZ! I know what I’m doing

Without much prior knowledge, I jumped into the first match. At first, it reminded me of Overwatch and I thought: GGEZ, I know what I’m doing. I need to capture control points and roll into the base. Then I got smacked hard and realized that I actually know nothing.

Paladins Cassie
Paladins’ simple complexity attracts me

What are these cards about? I started to research and quickly learned that Paladins is quite complex in its apparent simplicity. The card system allows for free customization of your champion and adaptation of their abilities. Suddenly, I found myself reading cards and assembling decks late into the night.

I caught myself thinking about a new possible deck while grocery shopping in the supermarket and forgetting what I originally wanted in the store. The champions feel different from standard champions since I can freely adapt them to my playstyle. Or just try out crazy decks that probably won’t work at all, but are fun.

paladins bomb king
Hi-Rez maintains open contact with the community

Once I completed my first testing phase, I was active in the Paladins community on Steam and Reddit to learn more about the game. To my surprise, I found out that the developer Hi-Rez is actively involved and writing everywhere.

Hi-Rez benefits from the fact that the community is still manageable and actively discusses feedback and ideas. The community called out for a glitter unicorn as a mount, and Hi-Rez delivered it for Valentine’s Day. These are the small but meaningful gestures that show me as a player that my wishes matter. The overall demeanor of the community feels friendly, which is why I enjoy being part of it.

paladins-skye-valentin-einhorn
Matchmaking and card variety need improvement

Paladins has a few weaknesses. The matchmaking is definitely not refined yet. I had some frustrating games where I was simply knocked out. There are only a few maps where you have to play the same one multiple times in a row.

However, I must admit, to my shame, that I am hopelessly directionless and need a lot of time to learn the maps. The small number of maps suits me well (in this regard) at the moment.

I won’t be putting down Paladins anytime soon, and I’m really looking forward to new content and the ongoing development of the game. The upcoming release on PS4 and Xbox One will surely cause a lot of movement in the community.

War Rage: Total War mit Action- und MMO-Elementen? – Sandbox gibt’s auch

The strategy and action MMO War Rage is entering beta in China. It is expected to be released here in the West in 2018.

Sunday is often the day when we take a look at the Far East, at games beyond the mainstream. What are they developing in Asia, where are the trends heading?

We have reported on War Rage several times before. This is one of those new action/strategy MMOs that are currently trending in Asia. Other games of this genre include the eternally lost Kingdom under Fire 2 or Tiger Knight: Empire War. This genre is also referred to as “Siege MMOs,” or siege games.

In all these games, you lead an army into battle like in the “Total War” series known in the West, but you can also intervene and participate.

War Rage is considered hyper-realistic. Following the latest trend in China, War Rage is also expected to feature sandbox elements. It is being developed by NetEase, who also release Blizzard games in China and are behind games like Revelation Online.

Slowly but surely, War Rage is taking shape. Development is progressing. It will enter beta in China on February 18. Here, the weather effects are also expected to be noticeable for the first time.

WoW: Raiden als Gehörloser – Die Probleme, die keiner versteht

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Raiding in World of Warcraft without hearing – what problems exist? Where are the biggest challenges?

Recently, we reported how the deaf guild Durus Veritas managed to defeat Xavius on Mythic difficulty in World of Warcraft. The colleagues from PCGamer interviewed the guild leader Joseph Antle. We have extracted some of the exciting passages and translated them for you.

Antle describes that before Durus Veritas, he was in a guild that attempted raids at that time. However, he did not really feel like he belonged, as the whole guild primarily discussed everything in Ventrilo – the chat was silent. He only received brief announcements such as “You dispel on the 3rd curse” or “You take care of the marked moon player”.

“I must admit that it was boring, and I felt isolated because no one used the chat, and everyone else used Ventrilo.”

WoW Atramedes
Somehow strange: In WoW there are deaf bosses (like Atramedes), but no options for deaf players.

In the interview, he explains in detail how the raid preparation of a deaf guild looks like during fights. The individual players have to remember many more mechanics and tasks than in a “regular” guild. No wonder that when a key player dies during the boss fight, the raid leader usually quickly announces a replacement in voice chat – but a guild with deaf players typically has little time for typing, as the mythical boss does not care about the players’ limitations.

WoW Nightmare Spider Boss

It is also exciting that many types of physical disabilities in games have already been considered. For many games, there are settings so that colorblind people receive special displays or the color spectrum is adjusted so that the differences are clearer for them. However, one searches in vain for special settings for deaf people – and no, subtitles during cutscenes do not really count.

When asked what Blizzard could change to provide more help to the deaf and elevate them to a fairer playing field, Antler responds with a thought-provoking sentence:

“That’s a difficult question to answer, considering we don’t know exactly what we’re missing.”

WoW Legion Illidan Boss

There have already been some debates, especially regarding Overwatch, about whether at least the announcements of enemy ultimates could be indicated through subtitles so that deaf players can prepare for them, as these players are already at a significant disadvantage in a shooter – where hearing is generally very important.

Cortyn says: I still find it quite impressive what people with a handicap can achieve when they really love a hobby. Furthermore, it is always refreshing to get a bit of “input” from other sides to be able to understand them. I find the argument for subtitles for Overwatch ultimates particularly fascinating, but it is something I would never have thought of in my life. The responsibility lies here with the hearing people to enable a better game for those without this “normality”.

Just recently, Durus Veritas defeated Xavius in the Mythic Emerald Nightmare.

Destiny. Gjallargasmus – there are 167 Ultras, here are all the gjallarhorned

In Destiny , the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn is still the benchmark. All 167 Ultras get a visit from Gjallarhorn.

There are the normal enemies in Destiny with red health bars, then there are the Majors, who have a yellow bar. Above them hover 167 Ultras, those are the named enemies, the bosses of Destiny. All 167 just got a gjallart from YouTuber BlazeBoss 17.

Let’s take a look at this:

The Gjallarhorn remains the cult weapon in the MMO shooter Destiny, even though there isn’t much to gjall during the current content drought.

Gjallarhorn – a rocket launcher through the ages

The iconic rocket launcher takes its name from Norse mythology. Heimdall blows the Gjallarhorn to warn of enemies. Or he takes his daily dose of mead. The old tales report: Gjallarhorn can also be used as a drinking vessel.

In Destiny, the cult weapon was sought after in Year 1, as it dealt significantly more damage with its pack missiles than any other weapon. There was even a special dance that some performed before opening a chest to appease the loot gods, hoping for mercy this time and for them to pour out their bounty.

In Year 1, the Gjallarhorn turned every boss into fodder. It was so strong that teams didn’t have to learn or apply the tactics for specific bosses; they could simply blast away foes like Skolas. At that time, the name “golden crowbar” was circulating. The Gjallarhorn opened many doors; in some random groups, you couldn’t get in unless you could show an entrance Gjallar.

Was terrified of the Gjallarhorn: Skolas

The rocket launcher was given a break in Year 2. Bungie didn’t want every year to be a Gjallarhorn year; other weapons should have their time in the spotlight.

With “Rise of Iron” and Year 3, Gjallarhorn made a nostalgic return to Destiny. Who knows, perhaps we will soon find a use for the treasure in Destiny 2? At the moment, it is still unclear whether Guardians can take their rocket launcher with them or how that will be in the sequel. Our readership is also divided on what they would prefer.

Hellgate London kommt als Retro-Fanprojekt und als VR-Shooter wieder

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The unfortunate franchise Hellgate London simply refuses to die.

Hellgate: London is a monument in gaming history. It was kind of a wet dream, a mix of Diablo and a first-person shooter from a studio founded by Blizzard veterans. This had to turn out well! Let’s make it short: It didn’t. It was quite a flop.

Hellgate

Since the actual game was discontinued in 2009, the rights have gone to a company in South Korea. There, a remake was set up, and a second part was also supposed to be developed. However, the development of Hellgate 2 was already discontinued in 2014. The remake survived relatively long, until it ended in 2016.

Hellgate is supposed to return – The two versions could hardly be more different

Now the game is set to be revived on two fronts.

  • A community has gathered to release a “Hellgate Revival“, a multiplayer reboot, called London 2038. It is a fan project and is supposed to be completely free. You should never have to buy anything, never be able to spend money. It is a child of pure passion. On this page, the developers keep fans updated. Currently, they are inviting to an alpha.

  • Hanbit, in turn, plans “Hellgate: London VR” and has completed the first focus group test in South Korea. The game is set to be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One and is expected to hit the market early in 2018. It is planned as a futuristic shooter being developed with Unreal Engine 4. Players should be able to fully immerse themselves in a gruesome version of the Hellgate universe. They take on the role of a hero tasked with protecting the Templar Jessica from demons. There is no information yet about a version for Europe and North America.

WoW Story 7.2: Stress bei der Allianz – Anduin und Genn im Konflikt

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Alliance in World of Warcraft is a wreck. Conflicts are brewing between Anduin Wrynn and Genn Greymane. We have information on how the story continues in 7.2.

More and more features of the upcoming update for World of Warcraft have been unlocked on the test server in recent days. This has also led data miners to extract new information from the data mountains, revealing some interesting developments. There are some spoilers here – you have been warned.

Obviously, the Alliance has not coped well with the death of Varian Wrynn, despite all efforts on the Broken Isles. Especially his son Anduin Wrynn is still trapped in mourning weeks later and seems to have fallen into lethargy.

WoW Anduin Wrynn Illidan Guldan

Especially Genn Greymane, the leader of the Worgen, seems to be losing patience with him. Although he often treats Anduin “like his own son,” his patience is wearing thin.

At least Alliance members seem to be getting a quest where the leaders of the Alliance gather to discuss King Anduin – at least Genn and “the Prophet” (Velen) seem to be consulting each other.

Anduin himself has also received a lot of voiceovers. It seems that you will accompany him through the city of Stormwind – while he is in disguise. Whether he fears enemies within or simply does not want to be recognized by the people is not yet clear.

It is also exciting that Anduin’s faith in the Light seems to be waning:

“Since you returned my father’s compass, I have prayed for guidance to the Light and to know that his soul rests. The Light does not answer.”

Self-doubt also plagues him:

“My people like me. They respect me. But they do not believe in me.”

Apparently, Anduin has not come through the words of the dreadlord who wanted to kill him unscathed, as the comic would have us believe.

Anduin talks a lot about his predecessors and the heroes who have protected his life and ultimately had to pay the “ultimate price” – death. “Now is my time to do the same,” he says before setting off towards the Broken Shore.

Genn Greymane, on the other hand, seems to be getting fed up with the “whining” of the boy. He fears that the Alliance will break apart if he does not soon “understand the horrors of war and the sacrifices his soldiers are making for him. A king must know the weight of his commands – their price.”

“If a compass breaks its morality, what will it do when war reaches our doorstep?”

The recent developments in the Alliance are definitely exciting and will likely lead to some speculation and thrilling twists in the upcoming patches. After all, as the old Il’gynoth said in the nightmare?

“The young king sits at the master’s table. He will offer you three lies.”

Please note that the voiceovers are still somewhat chaotic and not necessarily orderly. Many files from other characters, such as Velen, are still completely missing. And what is happening with the Horde is also still in the dark…

For Honor: Open Beta Ends – 3 Million Players, But When Does It End?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Open Beta for For Honor is coming to an end. When does the slaughter stop on PC, PS4, and Xbox One? We have the exact time of the end for you.

What time does the For Honor beta end? Exact time

The Open Beta for For Honor ends on Sunday. It will be over at 11:00 PM.

Update 11:00 PM: The beta is over. There was no extension and nothing, even though many begged for it. Exactly at 11:00 PM the Open Beta ended. Currently, the two factions, Vikings and Knights, are arguing about who won the Faction War. It is still unclear how exactly that will be settled, whether the next round counts or not. A statement from the developers is supposedly circulating on reddit, saying that the Knights decided in their favor. “Deus Vult” is now echoing through social media. But let’s wait and see.

Original report:

Players won’t feel the pain of withdrawal for too long: Just a day later, on Tuesday, February 14th, is the launch date. It just happens to fall on Valentine’s Day. One can be sure: Many men will be sobbing on the couch and pleading, “Please, notice me a little!” while their girlfriends leap wildly across the battlefields. Life is tough.

Much interest in For Honor

The Open Beta is well received. Although it’s more of a demo than a test that will have significant effects on development. Some matchmaking and connection issues plagued the Open Beta, as has been reported. On Saturday morning, the servers were down for a short patch. Ubisoft will have to address this.

Back to the “the Open Beta is well received” thing. In a tweet, the developers announced on Friday: nearly 3 million players are swinging axe, sword, and katana.

In the forums, there is a lot of shouting about the best heroes and about imbalance. The Conqueror and the affectionately called “Noob Bitch” Nobushi cause the most tears. Therefore, here’s a “Tear” list from us that shows which heroes trigger opponents’ tear ducts the most. No, it’s a Tier list, categorizing individual champions into different quality classes (English: Tiers). But … in principle, it fits with the “Tears” as well:

Which is the best class in For Honor? Which heroes lead the tier list? Here are tips for your hero selection.

In Ubisoft’s For Honor, there are 12 heroes at launch, each bringing unique abilities and advantages to cater to various playstyles. Do you want to be a powerful brawler on the battlefield or a nimble assassin instead? Your hero choice will determine that.

As with other multiplayer games that feature multiple characters, players of For Honor wonder: Which class is the best? Which hero should I rely on in PvP to not be at a disadvantage?

For Honor: Tier list of the best heroes in duels – PS4, Xbox One, PC

On Reddit, there are several surveys on this topic and many users have already shared their opinions. It appears that the Warden, the Peacekeeper, the Warlord, as well as the Orochi and the Nobushi are frequently mentioned as top-tier.

These user-generated tier lists on Reddit reinforce the rankings from the meta site RankedBoost. According to them, the top heroes (S-Tier) in direct multiplayer duels are:

  • Peacekeeper
  • Nobushi
  • Warden
  • Orochi

A-Tier:

  • Lawbringer
  • Conqueror
  • Kensei
  • Warlord

B-Tier:

  • Shugoki
  • Valkyrie
  • Raider
  • Berserker

However: Many users write that they consider the heroes to be quite balanced. It cannot be said that any class is “completely overpowered”.

The best hero classes in Dominion

For the scenario where you are not fighting 1v1, but dealing with several opponents – such as in the Dominion mode – a separate tier list has been created. Here are the best heroes:

  • Orochi
  • Nobushi
  • Warlord
  • Kensei
  • Warden
    for-honor-friedenshüter-kampf

The best classes for beginners, attackers, and defenders

As the best hero for beginners, the Warden has emerged at this time. This knight is easy to master, brings balanced abilities, and proves to be a powerful character in many situations.

As attacker classes, the Peacekeepers, Berserkers, and Orochi are strong. They come with fast, deadly attacks and have high DPS values.

As defender classes, the Conqueror and Warlord perform well. Both are equipped with shields. The tanks among the heroes.

Keep in mind that you can also be successful with the other hero classes in the battles. The main requirement is practice. Additionally, you can improve your fights within minutes by checking out our guide to battles in For Honor.
