Hearthstone: “Smashing into the Clones Properly” – the 13 best card texts from Gadgetzan

The new Hearthstone cards are full of interesting and sometimes questionable anecdotes. We have compiled our top 13.

With the release of the new expansion “The Streets of Gadgetzan”, there are not only plenty of new cards, but also a whole range of “hidden” things in the game. Few players are aware of the anecdotal texts, often referred to as “flavor text”, that each card has when viewed in the collection.

We have created a list of the most entertaining quotes found in the new expansion.

  • Lunar Visions – “What did you see? A second moon of Azeroth? Very funny, how could a whole moon disappear…”
    A clear reference to World of Warcraft, where a patch long ago removed the “2nd moon”. It has since been restored to the game.
  • Shrink Potion – “Whoever dispels Shadow Word: Pain will be regretting it now.”
  • Jade Wasp – “He calls himself the King of Blades.”

  • Jade Shuriken – “The practical thing about it: After you’ve taken it out of the wound, you can use it to pay the bill for the treatment.”
  • Shadow Fury – “Oh yes. No joke.”
  • Shaku the Collector – “Interventions are in vain. Shaku doesn’t see that he is a hoarder. Will he get his problem under control? And will Aya forgive him for stealing the cards of her best friend? We will probably never know, as this is a game and not a telenovela.”

  • Jinyu Waterspeaker – “Waterspeakers possess the mystical and precious gift of foresight. That’s why the Jade Lotus often employs them as speculators in the auction house.”
  • Lotus Illusionist – “If you thought their Illidan and Sylvanas cosplays were good, just wait until you see them as Reno Jackson!”
  • Cabalist’s Pusher – “I have everything, I can procure anything. I have the craziest stuff out there. Mana crystals, potions of strength, transformation elixirs, gummy bears…”

  • Inspector Sally – “Who is she? Where did she come from? We don’t have any police in Gadgetzan – Mayor Noggenfogger”
  • Raging Reporter – “In her last column, she exposed Karla Bloom and her shady black market dealing in rare tusks in Old Town.”
  • Knatz-Fu Master – “Knatz-Fu is the ancient Hozen art of self-defense, in which students learn to harmonize body and mind to finally… smash opponents fair and square!!!”
  • hs_gg_neu_leg_7
    Furorion
    – “Furorion is a dragon, like his father, Deathwing. Why is he not marked as a dragon? DO YOU WANT TO BLOW HIS COVER??”
  • Take a look in the collection – have you also found some favorites?

    In Destiny today, on December 2nd, the Agent of the Nine arrives. At which location is Xur and what items does he have on offer?

    Destiny is slowly picking up pace again. Since the releases of the raid challenges from Vosik and Aksis, it has been quite quiet around the MMO shooter. Now the next events are already on the horizon. Here are the important events of the coming days:

    • Next week, the Iron Banner starts in December. The controversial mode Rift will be played. All info about the December Iron Banner can be found here.
    • Shortly after the Iron Banner, the “next party” will take place, hosted by the live team. This certainly refers to the Sparrow Racing League, which according to the “Rise of Iron” post-launch plan will take place in December.
    • Next Saturday and Sunday, the PlayStation Experience 2016 will take place. Bungie will be present at this event. Whatever they have to say, we will report on it immediately.

    WoW: Legion – Blizzard nerfs Trial of Valor – A Heart for Smaller Groups

    The current raid “Trial of Valor” in WoW has been simplified. The real reason seems to be that smaller guilds can join in again.

    As Blizzard recently announced on Twitter, a new hotfix for World of Warcraft: Legion has been applied, which has reduced the difficulty of the current raid instance “Trial of Valor”. Specifically, it concerns the first fight against Odyn. In Phase 1, players fight against Hyrja, who deals a lot of damage with her spell “Shield of Light” – this has now been “significantly” reduced on normal and heroic difficulty.

    In addition, the fight against Helya has also been adjusted. Some additional enemies in Phase 2 of the fight now have slightly fewer hit points, making the phase quicker to handle.

    WOW Helya

    Cortyn says: The actual reason for the nerf seems not to be that the instance itself was too difficult, but rather that it could not be handled with some group compositions. Normally, “heroic” raids scale with the number of players, which works well in many cases. However, this was not the case with Odyn, as the fight has too many mechanics for 10 players to fulfill them all, since the nerfed “Shield of Light” from Hyrja must (typically) be intercepted by 5 players. At the same time, 3×2 players need to deal with the rune summoners, and another tank must keep the other boss occupied.

    One does not need to be a math genius to notice that 10 players are insufficient to intercept an ability with 5 people when 7 players are otherwise occupied. Therefore, the nerf is fundamentally intended to make the raid accessible to smaller groups of 10-12 people on heroic difficulty.

    By the way: The second PvP season of Legion is also on the starting blocks!

    Overwatch: Season 3 Start – Das müsst Ihr wissen

    Overwatch starts its Season 3 of the Competitive mode! To prepare you well for the new season in Overwatch , we have created an overview of the changes for you.

    Just a few days after Season 2 ended, the competitive play for Season 3 has started. There will be some changes with the new season as well.

    Overwatch Season 3: Skill Rating Adjusted

    The skill rating system has once again been adjusted by Blizzard, after a flood of players was noticed in the Gold and Platinum ranks. In Season 2, many players were ranked too high and dropped significantly in rank during their first competitive matches. This led to frustration, as the skill levels of the games were vastly different.

    Overwatch Torbjoern Victory Pose Medal

    For Season 3, the skill rating system has been adjusted in such a way that many players will initially be ranked lower than they would expect from their placement matches. The rank is expected to normalize over the course of the season, as players with strong skills are anticipated to climb in rank quickly.

    Off-Season Play

    Blizzard expects that there will now be an “Off-Season” between each season. This will last for one week and gives you the opportunity to play and practice in the ranked mode without jeopardizing your rank. It is a playground to try out new tactics and champs with the same rules as in ranked play.

    Overwatch Dva selfdestruct

    What are your goals for Season 3? Do you want to master the new Oasis map or reach a specific rank?

    The Division: Server down on 2.12. – This will change today

    Today, on December 2nd, maintenance is taking place for The Division. The servers are offline.

    Yesterday, we reported on an issue affecting the final boss in the “Lexington Event Center” mission: Larae Barrett is sometimes invulnerable. Agents cannot deal damage to her then. This bug apparently occurs when all adds have already been killed before she jumps down from the balcony.

    This bug will be fixed today. Maintenance needs to take place on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

    At 12 PM our time, the servers will be taken down. They are expected to be down for about an hour. You can resume playing around 1 PM.


    Larae Barrett can drop a gear piece named after her. You can find all locations of named gear pieces in The Division here. However, the drop rate is low.

    Destiny: Iron Banner announced in December – featuring unpopular game mode!

    In Destiny, the Iron Banner has a date in December 2016.

    In the “This Week at Bungie”, the Community Manager DeeJ announced the next monthly PvP event. The December Iron Banner. During this event, even the biggest PvP haters will check out the Crucible to grab the good loot and continue their journey to Light Level 400 – if they haven’t reached it yet.

    Here are the dates:

    • Start: December 6 at 7 PM
    • End: December 13 at 10 AM

    Which game mode does Santa … uh, Efrideet bring? This time it will be Rift.

    Months ago, Bungie stated that while Rift is a fun mode, it wouldn’t really fit the Iron Banner. Therefore, Guardians were not excited in the past when this mode was up. However, it is making a return now. On reddit, a Guardian writes: As much as he doesn’t like Rift anymore, he will be hunting “The distant star”.

    destiny-distant-star

    Because this scout rifle will be featured in December, along with the fusion rifle. The armor pieces are helmet and the class item.

    DeeJ emphasizes that the safest way to ignite the Rift is to play with a determined fireteam. So team up and grab the loot.

    A look back and forward

    Yesterday, extensive maintenance took place. Now the confirmation that only the servers were maintained. There were no changes to the gameplay, you shouldn’t notice anything new.

    Next weekend, Bungie will be at the PlayStation Experience 2016. What they will announce there is still uncertain, probably there will be info about the SRL. DeeJ reveals that shortly after the Iron Banner, there will be “other things” to play. Anyone who owns “Rise of Iron” is already invited to the “next party” that the live team will host.

    More information about this will follow soon.

    Hearthstone: Warning! Bugged packs from Gadgetzan – do not open! [Update]

    The packs of the new Hearthstone expansion are bugged. Players should hold off on opening them.

    Update: The issue has since been fixed and players in America have received 33% of their opened packs as a bonus. Before the game went live in Europe, the hotfix was already applied on our end – so there is no compensation for us since we lost nothing.

    Original report:

    The new Hearthstone expansion, “Mean Streets of Gadgetzan”, has already been released in America, and it quickly encountered a medium-level problem.

    Many players are reporting in the official forums about “irregularities” when opening the new MSOG packs (“Mean Streets of Gadgetzan”).

    The card packs seem to be bugged and exhibit a particularly high chance of containing cards from the various “gangs” (Cabals, Jade Lotus, and Gangsaw). Other “neutral” cards are seen rather rarely.

    Blizzard is aware of this issue and is working tirelessly to fix the problem.

    hearthstone-gadgetzan-kabal-title

    Until the issue is resolved, players should hold off and not open any packs of the new expansion – unless they want to get especially many cards from the gangs.

    Whether there will be a “refund” for the already opened packs is questionable. So if anyone wants to play it safe, they should restrain their spending both with real money and gold until the developers give the all-clear and restore the “normal” distribution of the packs.

    However, it is quite possible that this incident will delay the release of the expansion in Europe – that should actually happen in a few hours.

    Cortyn says: Annoying, but at least we now have the advantage that expansions in Hearthstone appear a bit later in Europe. So better go to bed and wait for tomorrow – maybe everything will be “back to normal” and Blizzard will have fixed the issue.

    To pass the time, check out all 132 cards from the new expansion.

    Revelation Online: Ultimate-Skills – Die Rache des Brummkreisels!

    In Revelation Online, your characters can already perform a lot of cool moves, but with the newly added Ultimate Skills, they really turn up the heat. Among them are the Spinning Top of Corruption and the Triple Death Shot.

    The action combat system of Revelation Online was a clear highlight of the last beta and with numerous cool skills, you were able to take down whole hordes of enemies. And the coolest skills weren’t even in the game yet! The so-called “Ultimates” are yet to come.

    Revelation Online Beta07

    Go big or go home!

    But the wait should be worth it. The Ultimate Skills look very good and especially spectacular. Among them is, for example, a Mega Healing Wave, a drastic increase in the tank’s hit points, or a deadly spinning top of blades. Also cool: The Triple Death Shot of the Sniper.

    All Ultimate Skills have been compiled by NetEase, the developer of the China version of Revelation Online, in a video. In it, you can see all the skills in action and already get excited for the release. What is your favorite Ultimate? Let us know in the comments! Don’t miss my review of the first beta in Revelation Online.

    Lineage Eternal: Vier Helden auf einmal? Nein! – Closed Beta in Südkorea gestartet

    In Lineage Eternal many thought that you would play alone with a group of four heroes. One of them is to be controlled by the player, the rest by the AI. Now the beta has started in Korea and the party gameplay is a bit different than expected.

    First images and gameplay videos of Lineage Eternal, NCSoft’s Diablo MMO, suggested that you would control a complete party of four heroes alone. Just like in classic single-player RPGs, such as the good old Baldur’s Gate.

    There you always controlled one of the heroes in the party, while the rest was controlled by the AI, attacking, casting spells, and participating in battles.

    lineage-eternal02

    There can be only one!

    However, yesterday, on November 30, the closed beta of Lineage Eternal started in Korea and the first information about the actual gameplay came in. The truth about the party system quickly came to light: We actually only control one hero! But the party of up to four heroes still exists, the other three characters are just not involved in the game when they are not actively switched by the player. We switch between the heroes as needed, always selecting the character that seems most suitable for the respective situation.

    lineage-eternal-mmo-screenshot

    To ensure that this switching doesn’t break the game balance, there is a cooldown of 25 seconds between allowed switches.

    Also cool: All heroes always have the same character level, so we don’t have to level up all characters separately. We only need to assemble equipment individually for each avatar.


    What do you think of the current party setup system in Lineage Eternal? Would you have preferred to have all four heroes at once or do you find the switching game like in Master X Master better? Let us know in the comments. If you want to know again which characters there are, check here: All 13 hero classes in Lineage Eternal at a glance!

    The Division: An unbeatable boss is in the game – fix coming

    Currently, there is a bug in The Division that makes Larae Barrett invincible. Massive has already prepared a hotfix for this.

    Recently, the “State of the Game” took place on December 1st, which is the weekly status report from Massive. It provided several updates on already resolved issues and bugs that will be fixed soon.

    The Invincibility of Larae Barrett

    Since update 1.5, agents frequently visit Ms. Barrett at the Lexington Event Center, as there is a chance to obtain the Barret chest piece, a named gear piece. Additionally, this mission is a good opportunity to swiftly acquire loot.

    However, there is currently a problem: Barrett sometimes does not die. This bug seems to trigger if you are too quick and eliminate all adds before Barrett jumps down from the balcony. If you want to circumvent the issue, take your time during the final fight.

    division-treppe-agenten

    However, Massive has already completed a fix for this. This will be released tomorrow, on December 2nd, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There will be brief maintenance beforehand. So far, no specific time is known. We will report on this tomorrow.

    Furthermore, since 1.5, there have been complaints that the drop rate for this Barret gear piece is too low. However, this is intended by Massive. These items are meant to be rare. It is understood that some players are frustrated due to lack of luck, but there is a desire to have a few rare items that bring great joy upon acquisition amidst the loot rain. Therefore, there are no plans to increase the drop rates.

    Further Notes:

    • From today, there are new supply drops in the open world. Grab them.
    • Some issues are still being investigated, especially on PS4 and PC.
      division-survival-agent-waerme

    Statistics on Survival

    At the end of the stream, the community developer Yannick Banchereau mentioned some statistics regarding the survival mode. Here are some of his figures:

    • The average time for a survival session is 41 minutes.
    • 13% of all sessions are successfully completed (with heli extraction). This number varies from day to day.
    • One player has successfully escaped with the heli in PvE 45 times, while an agent managed to do it 69 times in PvP.
    • In PvE, one player has lost a survival session 176 times, whereas the maximum in PvP is 172 losses.

    WoW: Legion Guide – Die versteckten Artefaktwaffenskins des Schamanen

    We will tell you how to get the hidden artifact weapon skins for the Shaman in World of Warcraft.

    In World of Warcraft: Legion, the artifact weapons not only have a lot of different designs, but also a few hidden skins – each specialization has its own. We will tell you where to find the special skins for the three specs of the Shaman.

    Elemental – Pride of the Amani

    wow-legion-shaman-artifact-elemental

    For all Elemental Shamans, the wait is on until an artifact knowledge level of 4 is reached. After that, travel to Dalaran and visit the Shadow Side – the sewers. There, keep an eye out for rare enemies that are conveniently marked on the minimap. Almost all rare enemies have a chance to drop the “Lost Codex of the Zandalari,” which grants the alternate appearance upon use.

    Enhancement – Champion of the Zandalari

    wow-legion-shaman-artifact-enhancer

    Enhancement Shamans must wait for the correct world boss to appear. Only Goroth and Levantus have a chance to drop the additional skin for Enhancement. Thanks to the latest changes, the alternate appearance should now be a guaranteed drop. Logging in once a week and joining a group is enough for the hunt.

    Restoration – Serpent’s Wrap

    wow-legion-shaman-artifact-restoration

    Restoration Shamans can expect to make many visits to the instance “The Eye of Azshara.” There, the alternate skin can be dropped by the first boss, Lady Hatecoil. Whether the instance is visited on “heroic” or “mythic” seems to have no effect on the drop chance.

    The images of the artifact weapons used are from wowhead (see sources).

    Pokémon GO: Trainer paints team symbol on cemetery building

    There are many ways to show pride in your Pokémon GO team. Some of them are unnecessary and can harm the reputation of the team.

    Team-Trainer-Pokemon-Go

    Being part of a team is important to many people. Whether it’s a real-world football club or a fictional team doesn’t matter. Teams give a sense of unity and are often associated with many emotions. However, when one develops “hate” towards other teams and feels the need to show everywhere in the world that their team is the very best with no regard for others, then that team pride goes too far.

    Pride Without Boundaries?

    In Pokémon GO, there are teams, and trainers join one of three factions. The followers of different teams squabble amongst themselves or tease each other. Some feel a stronger connection to their own team and their Captain in Pokémon GO than is usual. But the fact that some develop outright hate towards others is going too far.

    But even “too much” pride can be a serious problem.

    The Reddit user aheadwarp9 uploaded this image showing a Pokémon GO team logo located on a cemetery building. On Reddit, the community almost unanimously condemns this behavior. Team pride is okay, it is said in a widely discussed thread, but this crap goes too far.

    Pokémon GO
    Source: aheadwarp9 – Reddit

    The image shows the Mountain View Cemetery in San Francisco. The mausoleum where the team logo is located is one of many PokéStops in the cemetery.

    Mein MMO says:  Those who behave disrespectfully towards their surroundings not only cast a bad light on themselves but on all Pokémon GO players.

    If you are out playing Pokémon GO, do so with the necessary respect. Actions like those shown in the image are just foolish and unnecessary.

    Fools’ hands smear tables and walls


    A library in Utah had Niantic remove its PokéStop because trainers could not behave there and even sold the building’s electricity.

    No Man’s Sky: So werden Basen zu Raumstationen!

    The base building introduced with the Foundation update in the space online game No Man’s Sky delights players, who even come up with curious ideas.

    Thanks to the new feature, it is possible to create custom bases in No Man’s Sky that differ in appearance. The construction and design of these stations seem to be very enjoyable for players, who proudly showcase their creations on Steam or Reddit. All that’s left is the ability to build your own space stations. Wait, that’s even possible now with a trick!

    no-mans-sky
    Build your own space station

    If you want to create a base in the orbit of a planet, you simply have to disable the height limit for constructions. You can do this by searching for the file “TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML” in the “BinariesSETTINGS” folder of No Man’s Sky on Steam. In this file, change “RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions” to “true”. If you have issues with this, you can check out a guide that explains everything step by step.

    While this won’t have your base floating in space, you can build it high enough so that it is in orbit around the planet. With some creativity, it can indeed look like a space station. For example, by building all the rooms and modules in space and only connecting them to the ground with a ladder.

    Changes to the game are at your own risk!

    no-mans-sky-basis-2

    Be aware that your game may not function correctly or may not work at all after the change. Such modifications to files can always have negative effects. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting and fun way to build bases in space. Let’s see what ideas the fans of No Man’s Sky come up with next.

    Overwatch: Reddit calls for a killcam for the cars of Oasis – Cool or macabre?

    The cars on the new map of Overwatch are well received by players. So much so that there is now a wish for a “Killcam” for them.

    In Overwatch, heroes can basically be killed by two things: enemy players and large abysses. With the new map “Oasis”, Blizzard adds another obstacle to the game world. Right next to the location, a highway runs by, bustling with activity. Anyone who takes an uncareful step onto the road – and doesn’t dodge – will quickly find themselves on the asphalt and respawn 10 seconds later.

    overwatch-car-runover

    Fans like the new obstacle so much that on Reddit, they immediately demanded a Killcam for deaths caused by cars, meaning: Whoever gets run over by a car should be able to “admire” their death from the driver’s perspective. Within a short time, the post has gathered over 3500 upvotes and brought forth even more ideas. If a car gets multiple kills in a row, it should also get the “Play of the Game”. In the “Highlight” animation, you can see the driver getting into the car leisurely.

    What do you think of these suggestions? Would that be a funny detail or too macabre?

    Cortyn says: I must confess that at first I thought, “Wow, that would be a bit macabre” and in the next moment immediately changed my mind. The whole game is full of things that are actually “macabre”, but entertaining in the context of Overwatch. When characters have a “Killstreak”, they say things like “I’m on a roll” or a cute “Sorry, sorry,” as if Mei just dropped a waffle with ice cream and not Mercy shot an icicle between the eyes.

    Therefore: I would find it extremely funny. Blizzard, pls.

    Speaking of cars and hot curves: Did you know that Sombra is now also in Street Fighter V?

    Hearthstone: What time does it start exactly?

However, if Blizzard follows the release pattern of previous expansions, then “The Streets of Gadgetzan” will likely start late at night, around 01:00 AM. We will update this article as soon as a definitive statement is made or if the release surprises us.

    The Streets of Gadgetzan includes a total of 132 new cards, which can be obtained through card packs as usual. These can either be bought in the shop for gold, real money, or earned in arena matches. For the first time, there are cross-class cards, which can be played by 3 classes each, allowing for new combination possibilities. For example, mages can access priest spells, or a hunter can pick up a trick or two from a paladin.

    GTA 5 Online: Liberty City als großes Bezahl-DLC?

    There may already be a large paid DLC for GTA 5 Online in 2017, which activates the “Liberty City” map.

    Regularly, DLCs are released for GTA 5 Online that bring new content to the game. The first was a CEO DLC, where you can earn millions of GTA$ by acquiring illegal goods for your warehouse and then selling them. The current DLC is called Bikers. As the leader of a motorcycle club, you can purchase various “businesses” where your staff produces goods that you can sell.

    GTA 5 Liberty City Release and Price

    In a GTA forum, a possible road map for GTA 5 Online has appeared. A user claims to know the upcoming DLCs for the game and also mentions the times when some of these DLCs are supposed to be released. Here you can find an overview of the possible road map for GTA 5 Online.

    GTA 5 Online Bikers DLC Preview Gangs

    Perhaps you’re wondering at this point why so much attention is being paid to a forum post by an unknown user. The post with the road map was made in August and mentioned the Bikers DLC with clubhouse and missions during free roam. In September, Rockstar Games followed up with the official announcement of this specific DLC. It’s unclear how the user knew about this. Therefore, the other listed DLCs in his post might also be accurate.

    Besides Law and Order, where you can play as the police, there are said to be other cool DLCs. According to the forum post, the “Liberty City” DLC is supposed to release as early as September 2017. This map is well-known to those who have played GTA 4. The DLC will include many interesting content, such as access to the casino and new maps! Furthermore, it is expected to feature the following:

    • Exclusive VIP membership granting access to the Casino in Los Santos.
    • A preorder bonus of 1 million GTA casino chips.
    • (GTA casino chips cannot be purchased through microtransactions)
    • Liberty City, North Yankton, and the casino are supposed to launch simultaneously so that players can distribute well and not feel overcrowded.
    • With Liberty City, you can trade on the stock market after purchasing a property for it (similar to how CEO missions currently work).
    • Both map DLCs will be full-priced titles.

    Keep in mind that this is unconfirmed information and should be treated with caution. The idea of Liberty City in GTA 5 Online is indeed interesting. Perhaps there will be new daily objectives where you have to go bowling with your cousin. This awakens many old memories of GTA 4.


    If you enjoy the role of Walter White and like playing GTA 5 Online? Produce your own drugs in the Bikers DLC and get rich!
