Guild Wars 2: Episode 4 “Head of the Snake” – We have already played it

Jürgen Horn 8. February 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Episode 4 of the Living Story of Guild Wars 2 escalates the conflict in Kryta. While the capital Divinity’s Reach is under attack, the followers of the White Mantle have devastated the surrounding area. Together with the developers, we took a look at the new content.

“The Head of the Snake” in Episode 4 (Season 3) of Guild Wars 2 is none other than the cult of the White Mantle. These villains were already your arch-enemies in the first Guild Wars, and now they are back in Guild Wars 2. After the cult’s machinations have increasingly come to the fore in the previous episodes, the conflict finally escalates in Episode 4.

Guild Wars 2 – Death to the Mantle Bearers

In a hands-on session with ArenaNet, we were able to experience the key features of the new episode in detail. After you received the mission from Queen Jennah in Divinity’s Reach to stop the White Mantle, you immediately head to the outskirts of the city. The formerly quaint Kryta is hardly recognizable.

The city of Divinity’s Reach is under attack!

The cultists have laid everything to waste and set up their artillery positions everywhere. They are impressively bombarding the capital, which has quite an impressive shield. This shield still withstands the fire of the fanatics, but if you don’t quickly reduce the bombardment, the queen is in serious trouble.

Conceal and Deceive

However, even if you can provide temporary relief, in the end, the head of the snake must come down. To do this, you infiltrate a stronghold of the White Mantle, for example, by dressing in costumes and disguising yourselves as Mantle Knights. The deception is not perfect, so you must be careful not to be uncovered.

With disguises, you can infiltrate the enemy’s base unnoticed.

As a saboteur, you poison supplies, damage equipment, and create all sorts of havoc in the enemy camp. Later, you end up in remote areas of Kryta, where you encounter a quirky hermit who is preparing for the apocalypse and has built a small fortress in the wilderness. How fortunate that an army of Mantle Bearers is right behind you and you could really use the fortress.

The battles in the Centaur camp are brutal!

However, since the owner hates centaurs, you must deal with the aggressive horse people in exchange for help. They trample everything down at regular intervals and have set up entire gauntlets with hidden archers. Without a good plan, you’re sure to go down here!

Reclaim Kryta!

Another cool feature of the new episode is the (re)conquest of various villages in the outskirts. If no one does anything about it, the White Mantle occupies these settlements. If you help the loyal Seraph Guard of the queen, you can boost their morale and start a reconquest. This is followed by several tough fights including a boss fight, and in the end, you receive rewards, and the settlement is back in the hands of the royal troops.

This monster is the final boss of a liberation battle.

But that’s not the end of it. Every 40 minutes, the cultists attack some city again, and you have to defend it. There are also great rewards for this, and the more successful you are, the better your morale buff, which makes further battles easier. The White Mantle also has its own morale value. You lower it, among other things, by throwing rotten fish at them, soiling their cloaks, and thus demoralizing them.

Jürgen says: With Episode 4, ArenaNet continues the already fantastic third season of the Living Story. Especially the large battles over the villages and the overall state of war in Kryta provide a great atmosphere and really make you want to beat the wretched White Mantle. I’m curious how the conflict will end and what surprises the third season of Guild Wars 2 still holds.

Paragon: Rosa-Overkill zum Valentinstag

Jürgen Horn 8. February 2017 Reading time < 1 minutes

Valentine’s Day is also celebrated in the MOBA Paragon. Therefore, you’ll get plenty of pink skins for your heroes.

How can one imagine Valentine’s Day in an action-packed MOBA like Paragon? Do you cuddle your opponents instead of killing them? Do you throw flower bouquets instead of grenades? Or do you invite your enemies to romantic dinners in the “jungle”? Of course not! Even on Valentine’s Day, there will be plenty of shooting, blowing up, and brawling in Paragon!

However, you’ll need to buy the other three skins in the shop if you want to send your heroes into battle looking cute in pink. The skins and their corresponding heroes are:

Love-Machine-Howitzer
Soulmate-Dekker
Love-Potion-Crunch

Blade & Soul: Alle Details zu den zwei neuen 24er-Raids

Jürgen Horn 8. February 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The martial arts MMORPG Blade and Soul receives the update “Wings of the Raven” with two large new raids. These 24-player raids offer a new challenge and weekly reset lockouts.

A true Kung Fu master is always looking for new challenges. At least in the online role-playing game Blade & Soul, you can face new dangers every month. On February 8th, the update “The Wings of the Raven” will be released, and it features two new raids for 24 martial arts professionals.

Blade & Soul Raids – Weekly Lockouts

Sky Pinnacle

The first new raid takes you to the “Sky Pinnacle” on the island of Khanda Vihar. There, after many tough battles, you will encounter your former ally Lusung, who was already revealed during the tutorial of Blade & Soul at the Hongmoon School. Lusung is under the control of the dark Raven King in the raid, but a solid trouncing has cured everything so far. The loot includes new Baguas as well as the powerful “Weapons of the Raven”.

Dusk of Khanda Vihar

Raid number two is also located on the island of Khanda Vihar. The raid is called Dusk of Khanda Vihar.

Once a center of the ancient high culture of Naryu, those times are long gone, and now “Meganura,” an evil version of the “Great Dragon,” prowls through the ruins. In the raid, the enemies become increasingly difficult until the big boss finally appears.

You can only run both raids once per week. A lockdown timer ensures a prohibition if you have already defeated bosses or join a group that has already made progress. In this case, you can only continue where your group currently stands. The lockouts reset every Wednesday at 3 PM CET.

Conan Exiles: Server mieten – Das müsst ihr beachten

Jürgen Horn 8. February 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Conan Exiles offers you the opportunity to set up dedicated servers. Those who cannot afford or do not want their own server can rent servers in Conan Exiles. Learn here how it works and what you need to consider.

The survival MMO Conan Exiles has closed its first official servers, only to shortly after introduce new official servers. However, players also have the option to run their own private servers. There are already hundreds of such servers, as a glance at the server list in the game reveals. But what to do if you cannot find a server to your liking or simply want to play among yourselves? Then having your own server would be sensible.

Conan Exiles – Renting Servers – What does having your own server bring?

First of all, as the operator of your own server, you are the “god” of the online world. You determine the parameters, such as whether there is a multiplier for resources gained or experience points.

You can also set how much PvP is allowed, whether players keep their items upon death, whether other players can loot your corpse, and even how much nudity is allowed in the game.

Prudish players completely disable this feature, while fans of swinging penises and happily bouncing breasts are allowed to enjoy the full barbarian nude program. Additionally, you can install mods to your liking.

In short: You determine what happens in your Conan world. Furthermore, you can allow up to 70 players on your server and, via optional password prompts, only let in the people you want to have in the game. Ideal for clans and guilds that do not want to deal with trolling troublemakers.

Conan Exiles Server Renting – What should I watch out for?

If you want to rent a server, you should pay attention to several points. Because the cheapest offer is not always the best. The following table shows what a good private server should have:

Sufficient slots: Currently, you can let a maximum of 70 people onto your server, but Funcom plans to increase this limit to 100 later. So ensure that you account for enough slots for your fellow players when renting a server.
Prepaid payment: If you do not want annoying contracts with minimum terms, this option makes sense. You simply pay for the server regularly and do not have any stress if you do not feel like playing Conan Exiles after a few weeks. Alternatively, choose an offer with as short minimum contract terms as possible; otherwise, you might end up stuck with an empty server for a long time.
DDoS protection: A good rental server has some level of protection against such malicious attacks. If you want to secure yourself, DDoS protection is a must.
Additional storage for mods: Mods are a big reason for operating a private server, so there should also be enough space for mods in addition to the game and additional software.
Server location in Germany: If you want to have minimal lag, the server should be located in Germany. At least, if you also live in Germany. Because even if servers overseas or elsewhere are cheaper, performance is definitely not optimal when data has to travel across the Atlantic or over the Ural.

Alternatives to Renting a Server and Providers for Conan Exiles Servers

Alternatively, you can also set up your own machine as a server, but it would need to run continuously, and the high computational cost would likely make simultaneous play on the server difficult.

It is also possible to start a “Solo/Co-op round” in Conan Exiles and make it accessible to other players. But be careful: your hosted game instance is only active as long as you are online. So if you want a permanent world of your own, you cannot avoid a private server.

If you now want to rent a server for Conan Exiles, the following providers would be a good choice. However, you will find new offers on the internet daily that may suit your needs even better:

ZAP-Hosting: Slot from 0.56 Euro, DDoS protection, TeamSpeak server available for rent
Nitrado: Slot from 0.74 Euro, freely selectable minimum term
Dawn-Server: Slot from 0.75 Euro, 10 GB for mods, freely selectable minimum term

Destiny: Shotguns & dominant pulse rifles will become weaker

Schuhmann 8. February 2017 Reading time 5 minutes

Today, Bungie presents changes to weapon balance in Hotfix 2.5.0.2 at a stream on Twitch for Destiny. We at Mein MMO are live with a ticker in German.

The Hotfix 2.5.0.2 is scheduled to be applied on February 14. This will reorder weapon balance in Destiny. Such adjustments are usually planned every three months, but the last change to the “sandbox” occurred in September, and the regular patch in December was skipped.

Therefore, the “meta” is already a bit rusty. Especially the dominance of shotguns is criticized by players. This evening, Bungie wants to introduce how the balance will change in a live stream on Twitch, starting at 7:00 PM our time.

We are live with a fun ticker in German. We do this sometimes for important events. And … the content drought in Destiny is so huge that we’re doing this to avoid getting completely rusty and losing our live ticker skills.

https://www.twitch.tv/bungie

So you won’t miss any information, but will have them all in your head as if shot from a shotgun. It will certainly be a great Destiny evening.

5:00 PM: To prepare, we recommend reading our article on the weapon balance in Destiny and how our community would change it.

5:35 PM: Bungie aims to pursue 5 goals with the balancing:

Find alternatives and counters for shotguns
Adjust the power of primary weapons
Address some issues of each class
Fix issues with a selection of exotics
Make supportive adjustments to special ammunition

5:40 PM: Most fans wish Bungie would express itself more clearly. When I read the goals like this – it couldn’t be more unclear. Are we sure DeeJ didn’t graduate in obfuscation and propaganda?

6:00 PM: Bungie teases on Twitter. What could these numbers mean?

Link to the Twitter content

Probably “Yes, shotguns have always been strong, but it was manageable. Now they are nearly 30% – Oh God, we must intervene! Quick, wake Lars Bakken!”

6:05 PM: That’s how I imagine it.

6:40 PM: In 20 minutes, it begins. The actual highlight for the future of Destiny could be tomorrow evening, when around 10:30 PM the Activision conference call takes place. Perhaps we will receive more concrete hints regarding Destiny 2 or any other plans. It’s clear, that is now on the agenda. That’s what people want to hear.

6:55 PM: This would be the right time for pump players to make a prayer.

7:00 PM: They start a little later again. The countdown ends around 7:07 PM. About 8,400 people are in the stream. Far from previous records.

7:03 PM: People are starting to trickle in. DeeJ is doing a sound check: balance is changing for weapons and classes. It’s like at the cinema where everyone looks for a spot. Now 27,000 people are in the stream.

The live ticker for the live stream on balance changes in Destiny begins here

7:10 PM: You can thank the guy with the hat every time a hunter took you down with a golden gun. The Gunslinger was developed after that. Thank you very much, hat guy!

7:11 PM: The first statistic states: shotguns dominate. Particularly defender titans love them.

7:14 PM: In PvP (right image), hand cannons and pulse rifles are strong. Scout rifles and auto rifles are too weak. They need to be a bit stronger.

7:16 PM: And another statistic. It basically says: in PvP, guardians primarily use shotguns and snipers among special weapons. Fusion rifles and hand cannons are hardly used.

Shotgun nerf in Destiny

7:19 PM: These are the changes to shotguns.

Shotguns no longer have aim assist when fired from the hip.
If a guardian fires a shotgun while jumping, accuracy is significantly reduced.
Shotguns no longer deal extra damage for headshots.
To compensate in PvE, base damage is significantly increased (20%). Chaperon and Universal Remote continue to deal precision damage in Destiny.
The Invective will receive a 25% penalty on the time it takes to aim.

7:24 PM: The goal is for shotguns to work when you stand still and aim at the opponent’s body. Players should not be jumping around like Batman and taking people out from the air.

Pulse rifle nerf in Destiny – Clever Dragon, Malok’s Grip

7:26 PM: The two strongest pulse rifles are being addressed.

7.7% slower fire rate for rapidly firing pulse rifles. This affects pulse rifles like Clever Dragon or Malok’s Grip.
Clever Dragon and Malok’s Grip both received smaller magazines – about 6 rounds less.
High Caliber Rounds will become weaker.
Flinch overall will also be reduced for pulse rifles, making them less able to suppress opponents.
The slowest pulse rifles will fire 5.3% faster. This is a buff.

Pulse rifles, scout rifles, and auto rifles are now more accurate when fired in the air.

Auto rifle buff

7:31 PM: Auto rifles are getting buffed, especially the slow ones.

Slow-firing auto rifles will deal more damage. These include weapons like Suros Regime.
Precision hits with auto rifles will deal more damage – from 1.25 to 1.3.

Hand cannons – not a sniper weapon

Hand cannons will be more accurate starting next week but will have shorter range.

Hand cannons now have higher initial precision – like in year 1. The first shot hits again as it did in the past.
Range has been reduced by 5 meters. This causes the drop-off to occur earlier. At maximum distance, the hand cannon now deals significantly less damage.

Special ammunition – changes in the Crucible

The aim is for players to use primary weapons more frequently.

Players start PvP matches with special ammunition.
When dying, players lose all their special ammunition.
Special ammunition boxes will appear more frequently.
You need to be closer to the box to receive ammunition.
In elimination games, players only start the first round with special ammunition.
Icebreaker and Shadestep generate special ammunition.
Hand cannons retain special ammunition.

Class changes

Hunter: The Blade Dancer’s knife now gives back a large amount of health but no shield. The thrown knife now deals solar damage.
Warlock: Stormcaller has less range in melee. Landfall will be weakened, now reducing the time in trance.
Titan: Juggernaut will be disabled when titans are in the air – this takes a while.

Some changes to exotic weapons are expected. Universal Remote is likely to receive a nerf. They plan to present this in the patch notes next Tuesday.

7:55 PM: The chat is urgently asking for information about Skorr (Skorr’s Token). However, Bungie is not changing anything about the artifacts.

Other exotics that will be changed: Truth. Shinobu’s Vow.

8:00 PM: The stream is coming to an end. There are indeed some changes. Let us know in the comments how you feel about the changes.

Important information about the artifacts, which will surely play an important role even after the patch, can be found here. Especially check Skorr’s Token if the chat makes such a big deal out of it…

Final Fantasy XIV: Revenues in 2016 solid, but worse than 2015

Schuhmann 8. February 2017 Reading time < 1 minutes

The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV had a rather unimpressive year in 2016 – there was a lack of an expansion.

The financial report from Square Enix for the period from April to December 2016 is available. Overall, the company is doing significantly better compared to the previous year. Profits jumped up by 26%. This is mainly due to the two blockbusters Final Fantasy XV and Rise of the Tomb Raider. The mobile games like Final Fantasy Brave Exvius are also performing excellently.

A small reprimand in the financial report for the performance of MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV. The ongoing operating income is stable, but MMORPGs have achieved significantly lower sales volumes than in the previous year.

This translates to: Subscription money continues to come in, but there is a significant lack of income from one-time sales. The reason for this is mainly, that there was no major expansion for Final Fantasy XIV in 2016 like the previous year’s Heavensward.

In 2017, a large expansion for Final Fantasy XIV is set to be released in June with Stormblood. Perhaps next year there will be a pat on the back in the financial report for the MMORPG again.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Multiplayer mode becomes particularly important – competitor for GTA Online?

Patrick Freese 8. February 2017 Reading time < 1 minutes

Much emphasis is placed on the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. Does this make the game a competitor to GTA 5 Online?

One of the most important games of 2017 is likely to be the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games is working on versions for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which are set to be released this fall.

However, Red Dead Redemption will not be a purely offline game but will feature a promising online mode. According to publisher Take Two, this mode is not intended to compete with GTA 5 Online.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 Online do not obstruct each other

During a conference, Strauss Zelnick, president of Take Two, announced that RDR2 and GTA 5 Online will function simultaneously. He says that entertainment is something people want to have, but do not necessarily need. If there are no appealing offers in the market for players, there is no reason to use an offer. When multiple appealing offers are available, consumers will utilize all these offers.

According to Zelnick, the quality of Red Dead Redemption will ensure the game’s success. “The ongoing success of GTA 5 Online is due to the special quality of the game.” December was a record month for GTA 5 Online, with more players than ever before.

What players can expect in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 is still unknown. According to Rockstar, there is a vast and atmospheric game world that is supposed to serve as the basis for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

Paladins: OB 43 is live – Patch brings Maeve, weekly PvE quest and a pink unicorn

Leya Jankowski 8. February 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Paladins new patch OB 43 brings the new champion Maeve, a pink unicorn, and romantic Valentine’s Day skins. Hi-Rez has already deployed the update to live servers.

With Maeve, who made a name for herself as a very strong flanker on the test server, another champion enters the battlefield. And with Skye, it will be particularly romantic in this patch. She receives a heartbreaker skin. Other champions will also be adorned with pink heart weapons.

New Champion – Flanker Maeve

The community has been speculating about the new champion Maeve for weeks. Most were sure it would be a cat. Maeve is human but comes with skills that resemble those of a cat.

She is a flanker and sneaks up on her opponents by cloaking them in darkness and blinding them. She throws her claw-like daggers from a distance. Maeve has various abilities that give her more speed, allowing her to quickly run behind and around enemies. These are also useful for a quick escape.

Romantic Cosmetics for Valentine’s Day

In time for Valentine’s Day, a Valentine’s Day chest will appear in Paladins. It is filled with cosmetic upgrades for your champions. Skye gets a skin-tight, pink latex suit and her crossbow is adorned with hearts.

Other champions will also be getting pink, heart-shaped, and romantic skins. For example, Pipp now wears the well-known pink glasses on his head, and Viktor has a heart eyepatch. There are also Valentine’s weapons for some champions in the love chest.

Paladins New Mount: Candy-Unicorn

Players have been wishing for a new horse for Paladins for a while, and so yesterday some were excited in the Twitch chat about the Candy-Unicorn. It is white with hearts on its rear, has a pink mane and a deep red saddle with golden hearts.

Rewards for PvE Quests

There will now be rewards for the PvE mode – through weekly quests. If you win 5 matches in PvE, you get 50 Crystals. The crystals are available once per quest for each account.

Chests Can Now Be Bought in Large Quantities

Radiant Chests are now also available in large quantities. If you buy multiple chests, you get a bulk discount.

1x Radiant Chest – 50 Crystals (50 Crystals per chest)
5x Radiant Chests – 225 Crystals (45 Crystals per chest)
10x Radiant Chests – 400 Crystals (40 Crystals per chest)
15x Radiant Chests – 550 Crystals (37 Crystals per chest)
Radiant Chests – 700 Crystals (35 Crystals per chest)

As a quick option, it has been introduced that chests can be opened by pressing the spacebar or ESC. You can also now equip items immediately upon receiving them from a chest.

With patch OB43, bugs have also been fixed and a few items, champions, and maps have been adjusted.

What do you like best from Paladins patch OB43? I think I need to quickly get the unicorn. Have you already tested Paladins Laser Grandpa?

For Honor Charaktere: Alle Helden und Klassen in der Übersicht

Tom Rothstein 8. February 2017 Reading time 6 minutes

In For Honor (PC, PS4, Xbox One) we take a look at all 12 hero classes that will be available at the launch of the fighting game.

In For Honor, you find yourself in the middle of a war between knights, vikings, and samurai. You take on the role of 12 playable characters – the heroes. These are powerful elite fighters who can plow through foot soldiers with their weapon and engage in brutal duels with other heroes.

It is already known that post-launch, additional heroes will be introduced through free updates. There is currently no information available about these.

All Heroes and Classes of For Honor in Detail – Playstyle, Weapon, Abilities

All 12 heroes come with unique abilities and cater to specific playstyles. Each character is meant to feel unique and have advantages and disadvantages in certain situations.

The playable heroes can be divided into three factions: The Knights, the Vikings, and the Samurai. Each faction has four hero classes.

By the way: While you can choose the gender of most heroes, some heroes are bound to one gender.

For Honor: The Heroes and Classes of the Knights

The Knights aim to protect their homeland against invading forces in For Honor. They have succeeded in doing so for centuries – thanks to their great heroes. However, they now face two adversaries, the Vikings and the Samurai, whom they must stop.

Wardens (The Wardens)

The Wardens are powerful fighters who enter battle with their longsword and plate armor. They are meant to embody the highest virtues of chivalry.

Playstyle: Versatile (balanced in attack and defense)
Special Abilities: Unblockable shoulder charge, strong interrupt attacks, and throws.

Dauntless: System requirements are nice and comfy

Schuhmann 8. February 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

The system requirements for Dauntless are now known. They are not as gruesome as the Behemoths in the game.

Dauntless is expected to be a F2P coop online RPG. It is considered a mix of Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. Since Monster Hunter is not available on PC here in the West, the game already interests many people. In principle, Dauntless is like taking most of an MMORPG out and focusing on the boss fights and the preparation for them.

You will battle against huge monsters, the Behemoths, recognize their combat patterns, and learn to properly react to these attacks to eventually take down the Behemoths. This should be possible in coop with up to four players.

An open beta for Dauntless is expected this year. Now the system requirements are available.

The minimum system requirements for Dauntless

Graphics card: A 660 Ti (DX11)
CPU: i5 SandyBridge
RAM: 4 GB
Operating system: Windows 7 DX 11 Support

This will get you low settings and 720p.

The recommended system requirements for Dauntless

Graphics card: A GTX 980 (DX 11)
CPU: i7 Haswell
RAM: 8 GB
Operating system: Windows 10

This should allow you to handle high settings and 1080p.

Can your PC run Dauntless?

As is typical for free-to-play titles, these are relatively low minimum specs to allow access to as many players as possible, who can then play with potato quality if necessary. If it should look nicer, the computing machine needs to be a bit beefier.

Here you can check on the systemrequirementslab site if your PC can handle Dauntless. You need to install a tool and let it run. The website will then tell you whether your PC meets the minimum and recommended requirements or where there might be problems.

In Destiny, a strong music video about the exotic armor pieces has been released. The new video of the week?

Now there is a video that you will enjoy watching and listening to: Because DUBA is back!

“Who?”, some of you might be asking now. DUBA is a YouTuber who regularly raps about Xur’s inventory and has recently made a name for himself in the English-speaking Guardian community.

SWTOR: 250% Experience while Leveling and Galactic Command – for two months

Cortyn 8. February 2017 Reading time < 1 minutes

SWTOR attracts old and new players with great bonuses – it has never been easier to reach the endgame and get suitable gear!

At Star Wars: The Old Republic, the winter sales for experience points have apparently started. The developers at BioWare have decided to give SWTOR players a little “goodie” to bridge the time until the next patch.

From February 7, 2017, to April 10, 2017, there is 150% additional experience points for regular leveling and expansion of the Galactic Command.

Now is the perfect time to quickly level up secondary, tertiary, and quaternary characters to the maximum level and simultaneously boost the rank of the Galactic Command to unprecedented heights. Since better gear is directly linked to the Galactic Command, this is likely the perfect opportunity for many players to prepare for the endgame content and be ready for upcoming operations.

If that is still not enough experience points, the bonuses can also be combined with the boosters from the cartel market.

Patch 5.2 is also set to impress with new uprisings and operations.

Guild Wars 2: Blizzard ruiniert Start von Episode 4

Jürgen Horn 8. February 2017 Reading time < 1 minutes

Episode 4 of the living story of Guild Wars 2 was supposed to start on February 7. However, a wild snowstorm at the developer location in Seattle ruined everything.

Those who had reserved the evening of February 7 for the exciting fourth episode of the living story in Guild Wars 2 likely got frustrated and turned to another game. Instead of aiding Queen Jennah in the fight against the white mantle, players were left waiting in vain. The update for the next episode simply wouldn’t come.

Blizzard was to blame!

The reason for the delay of the new episode was force majeure. The Seattle area in the USA, where developer ArenaNet is located, was afflicted by particularly severe snowstorms at the planned update time. The blizzard was so intense that there were mass power outages in the area.

Without power, servers can’t run, so ArenaNet had no choice but to sit in candlelight and do nothing. By the way, no improvement is in sight yet.

In the official Guild Wars forum, Communications Manager Gaile Gray apologizes for the inconvenience and will also notify when the servers are back up. You can find the post in the sources.

Bitching Wednesday: Dead by Daylight – The survivors are teasing me!

Cortyn 8. February 2017 Reading time 4 minutes

Along with fun and horror, Cortyn experiences mainly one thing in the horror game Dead by Daylight: frustration to the limit.

Happy Wednesday everyone! After I have given too much attention to my favorite WoW in the last few weeks, I am now complaining on a different front. So what else is left but to dedicate a few lines to my new “underdog” Dead by Daylight, which has carried me through many a night?

Don’t know Dead by Daylight yet? Here we briefly introduce the game. Because while I have gotten better at the game over the past weeks, I have also noticed more and more bugs and annoyances that have been in the game for far too long.

Survivors just run in circles endlessly

The most annoying thing in the game is that there are still “Infinites.” On some maps, there are situations where survivors are simply unreachable. To explain it roughly: the killer is usually faster than a survivor. For a survivor to escape, he must either shake off the killer or buy time by jumping through windows. The killer can only pass blockades significantly slower.

Now, there are some situations where a survivor can simply “endlessly” toy with the killer (hence “Infinite”), while the rest repairs generators until the killer frustratedly stops the chase. Especially the players of the first hour, often recognizable by their prestige clothing, take advantage of such spots.

Equally frustrating is the matchmaking. Although I have surely improved in the last few weeks and now consider myself a “solid” killer with all characters, the matchmaking is a joke. Not only is it common to be mixed with 4 survivors at rank 1 while at rank 15, but also earning rank points is too easy. As a killer, I am currently at rank 3 – which is significantly better than I actually am. I am not as good as the game portrays me.

This is mainly because as a killer, you have to achieve very little not to fall in rank. Here a survivor hit, there a player successfully sacrificed – and you don’t drop, even if I was led by the nose 90% of the time. Currently, it is even possible for all players (survivors and killers) to leave a match so that they all rank up – that’s just ridiculous.

Survivors mock the killer

One last point is the “elite” players who hang out in voice chat as a group of four (for which the game, according to developer statements, is simply not designed) and are all armed with a flashlight and the Saboteur perk. It takes what feels like 20 seconds before there are four “Pling” sounds in a match and all hooks are destroyed, meaning I can no longer sacrifice the survivors in the usual way (the basement with the “indestructible” hooks is too far away).

But instead of ending it quickly and winning, the survivors mock me. As soon as I catch one of them and want to pick him up (silly of me, because where am I going to take him?), 3 people stand in front of me with their flashlights and blind me repeatedly. Over and over again. After that, they run in circles around me, teabagging like crazy and spamming emotes – should things get serious, they sprint away using the perk “Sprint Burst.”

In such moments, I don’t feel like the powerful killer that survivors should fear. I am no threat, but merely “points on two legs” that can be milked. I feel like the bullied outsider in a school playground shoving circle, who in desperation can only lash out in anger – or, in my case, simply escape the nightmare with Alt+F4 and hope to sink low enough in the ranking to play against reasonable people.

Sure, as the developers said, they are currently working on a massive update of the engine, which takes a lot of time. But when the base game has been suffering from bugs for over 2 months that ruin almost every match for the “better” players, and they also announce a console port… I have to wonder where the priorities of the developers really lie. As sympathetic as they are to me, I cannot understand it.

I really hope that the upcoming patch addresses all these issues – because the game itself is exciting and entertaining. But the bugs and annoyances lead to so much frustration that I currently log in less and less often.

I have also vented about Michael Myers in Dead by Daylight – he is also bad.

The Division: Back to its former strength? Submachine guns are being buffed

Tom Rothstein 8. February 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

Will submachine guns (SMGs) return to former glory in The Division? The latest PTS patch gives hope.

I still have it in my stash: my AUG. It was never one of my absolute favorite weapons – I always preferred the AK-74 black market version or the Vector – but it was a deadly beast.

In the early weeks and months, submachine guns dominated the scene in The Division. Leading the charge were the AUG and the Vector. Alongside the M1A sniper, they were the dominant weapon category in PvE and PvP. They were devastating at close range, devastating at medium range, and devastating “from the hip.” For long-range, one would pack an M1A sniper in the secondary slot and be ready for any danger.

The Decline of Submachine Guns

It is the same in The Division: What is powerful gets nerfed sooner or later. Submachine guns were hit particularly hard. Update 1.3 introduced a weapon balancing mechanism that granted new bonuses to weapon categories.

Previously, SMGs had the powerful bonus of increasing critical hit chance by several percentage points. With 1.3, the increased chance of crits was removed, instead, higher crit damage was introduced. A change that proved to be a significant weakening of SMGs in practice.

On top of that, the Vector and AUG were reduced in base damage by 10%. Massive made sure that submachine guns were dethroned.

With updates 1.4 and 1.5, they further stomped on the SMGs. The hip fire, once a major advantage of SMGs, was reworked so that the submachine guns exhibited extreme scatter. Assault rifles have since been superior to SMGs in almost all areas, which is why we already came to the conclusion: SMGs are currently “complete trash.”

SMGs Regain Former Strength

Since yesterday, the PTS Phase 4 is live, and it brought a surprising innovation: SMGs are getting their old bonus back! The developers had not talked about this at all, which makes this step quite surprising.

In short: Submachine guns are receiving the bonus for increased critical hit chance back. The maximum roll is expected to be around 22%.

Massive claims that during normalization testing in “Last Stand,” they observed old SMGs that still had the old bonus. They actually wanted to remove these weapons completely, but they performed excellently, and people enjoyed playing with them. Therefore, SMGs with critical hit chance will not be removed – instead, all SMGs in 1.6 will receive this bonus back.

On Reddit, agents are already writing: “Welcome back, SMGs!” How powerful they will ultimately be in the live version of 1.6 is yet to be seen. But one thing is certain: Along with the new Valkyria set, the eyes will once again be on the SMGs.

WoW Brand: Change is driving the market crazy – When is it coming to Europe?

Schuhmann 8. February 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

With the WoW token, you can now purchase services in Overwatch, Hearthstone, or HotS. Yes, even whole games. But when is this coming to Europe and Germany?

On the night from Monday to Tuesday, the change went live in the USA. With the WoW token, which can be purchased for WoW gold, players in the USA now receive Battle.net credits. Until now, the WoW token could only be used to purchase game time in World of Warcraft, but now the offer is broad.

With this credit, you can purchase card packs in Hearthstone, new heroes in Heroes of the Storm, or loot boxes in Overwatch. You can even acquire Blizzard games like Starcraft or Diablo.

WoW token triggers economic speculation in Azeroth

This has led to prices for the token skyrocketing in North America. Initially, the token cost about 58,000 gold in the USA. This rose throughout yesterday to 115k gold. However, it then flattened out to 72,000.

In Europe, the price was already around 114,000 gold before, and it then increased to 200,000. However, it has now fallen back to 118,000. Meanwhile, the adjusted token is not even live in Europe yet.

The value of the WoW token is not directly determined by players, but rather regulated by an algorithm based on supply and demand. Players hoard these tokens or have already hoarded them in the past.

So there is a bit of economic speculation happening in Azeroth.
