This hot rod is now available to you in GTA 5 Online. The video shows tuning options and the crazy sound of the hot rod.

The new Bikers Update in GTA 5 Online has already brought many cool vehicles into the game. Among them were mostly motorcycles, fitting the name. However, the latest vehicle from the Bikers DLC has 4 wheels and will be responsible for a lot of smoke on the streets of Los Santos. Although rust is this vehicle’s best friend, it somehow belongs to the cool rocker image that this car represents.

The Rat Rod is now available in GTA 5 Online and can be purchased at Southern San Andreas Super Autos. The car costs a hefty 378,000 GTA$ in its normal state, making it quite expensive.

WoW: Legion – The “secret” Karazhan boss fell on the first day

The secret Karazhan boss “Night Terror” in WoW was defeated on the first day – he wasn’t that hidden after all.

Blizzard strives to continuously incorporate secrets into the game with Legion, for players to seek out for a while. At least one secret did not last particularly long in Patch 7.1 “Return to Karazhan”, as the secret Karazhan boss “Night Terror” was found and defeated on the first day.

wow-legion-nightbane

If you think that you have to go on a long hunt to unlock the boss, you are mistaken. In fact, it is quite the opposite: a speedrun. After opening the first door of the dungeon, a timer of 8 minutes begins. During this time, the group must defeat the first boss (the theater event) and click the crystal at the end of the stage. Then a buff for 8 minutes is granted and the run continues.

Gradually, the crystals that were already needed for the quest line must be clicked. This means that after the theater event, there are 8 minutes to get to the room before the virtuous maid (the boss itself is not needed), then a few more minutes down to the cellar, before it goes to Moroes and ultimately the Curator. If successful, you will receive another 5-minute buff, with which you rush to the terrace of the instance and can summon the boss “Night Terror”. In addition to equipment with item level 870, the boss drops itself as a mount – guaranteed once per group.

For well-equipped groups with the proper setup, this poses no major problem, as this video by Jace DK shows:

Cortyn says: Honestly, the secret boss is one of the few real disappointments for me from the Karazhan patch. I would have appreciated it if this boss was accessible through a treasure hunt or another puzzle. A simple “time run”, where you just rush through the instance, as is already the case in “Mythic+” instances, feels a bit uncreative to me. Nevertheless, the associated mount is thus a special feature that random groups will likely struggle with for a while. Congratulations to everyone who has already secured the skeletal dragon – and good luck to all who try again this week.

Battlefield 1: Here are the best weapons for all classes

These weapons are a good choice for the different classes in Battlefield 1. We will show you their advantages.

In Battlefield 1, besides the standard weapons of each class, you have many other equipment options that are offered to you in the game. To unlock the different weapons, you need war bonds and the corresponding level. With our Battlefield 1 tips for leveling classes, this is quite simple. We will show you which weapons are well-suited for the 4 classes and what their advantages over the other weapons are.

Best weapon for Scout in Battlefield 1

The weapons in Battlefield 1 offer various advantages, which can be “better” than others depending on play style or game mode. A quick reload time and high precision are just as important for a sniper rifle as the specific distance at which the most damage is inflicted. For the sniper players among you, we would like to recommend 2 different rifles. The Russian 1895 and the Gewehr 98.

Battlefield 1 comparison of sniper weapons

Russian 1895: This rifle is designed for medium ranges and has a short reload time. If you miss the enemy’s head with a shot, the target doesn’t have much time to hide before you follow up with a second shot. With the large scope, you have a good overview that other scopes cannot reach. A wider field of vision allows you to spot enemies more quickly.

Gewehr 98: If you prefer raw power and long range, then this rifle is a good choice. Although it has a longer reload time, the cartridges reach the enemy faster and fly with more precision. The bullets travel longer in a straight line before they start to drop towards the ground. If a precise weapon with high range suits your play style better, then the Gewehr 98 is a good choice for you.

Best weapon for Assault in Battlefield 1

The difference between the two presented Assault weapons is the weapon class. A strong choice is both a shotgun and a submachine gun.

battlefield-1-assault-choice

M97 Trench Gun (Overpumped): With a shotgun, you can inflict a lot of damage to enemies up close. Since you are shooting with the weapon at close range, precision is not a major concern. If you prefer to fight without much distance to the enemy, then this weapon is a good choice.

MP18 Trench: If you prefer to play with automatic weapons, then the MP18 is the better choice for you. Quickly unlocked with a lot of damage at short range. Due to the high hip-fire value, you can quickly inflict damage when enemies suddenly appear. While the M97 is better suited for clearing a control point, the MP18 is good for clearing the way to a control point.

Best weapon for Support in Battlefield 1

For supporters, we offer 2 different weapons that fit different play styles. It depends on whether you prefer to suppress the enemy or make kills.

BF1 Support weapon comparison

M1909 Benet-Mercie: The standard weapon of supply soldiers does a solid job and is well-suited for suppressing enemies. The range is also adequate for this purpose. The M1909 Benet-Mercie is a direct upgrade from the standard weapon. It has a better fire rate and a more accurate sights. 

Bar M1918: If you prefer to participate in battles and kill more enemies, then the Bar M1918 is a great choice. It has a longer range compared to the M1909, a sight, and a bipod that can be used to keep the weapon steady. This weapon is well-suited for offensive supporters.

Best weapon for Medic in Battlefield 1

The weapon choice for the medic is designed to help you quickly get out of a tight spot if the enemy gets too close. Here, too, we offer 2 different weapons that are well-suited for this purpose.

Self-loader M1916: Shooting is not one of your main tasks as a medic, which is why the standard weapon is actually quite okay. However, it is too slow to effectively deal with an enemy. The M1916 has good precision and deals enough damage to quickly kill an enemy.

BF 1 Medic weapons comparison best

Mondragón Sniper: In a battle where there are many enemy snipers, the Mondragón will help you. The rifle has a scope and a bipod, with which you can protect yourself and your allies and shoot at enemy scouts. With the attached bayonet, you can also kill enemies that have advanced too close to your territory.

Overwatch: “Display as Offline”, to have his peace

In Overwatch you might soon be able to go offline – at least for your friends list.

Who doesn’t know that? You feel like playing a round, but just have no desire to deal with your friends. Occasionally, you just want to play something carefree and alone. However, the Battle.net software often puts a spanner in the works, because as soon as one of the games is started, all “BattleTag” friends can see immediately what you are up to.

overwatch-ana-halloween-skin-hush-now

While this is extremely helpful when you want to invite friends to a game of Overwatch or a raid in WoW , it is very annoying when you really don’t feel like it and just want some peace. It hasn’t helped much that you can now join your friends in voice chat on Battle.net with just one click. This happens so frequently, in fact, that you don’t even notice when a player joins the conversation.

In the official forum, some Overwatch players have now requested to be able to appear “Offline” on Battle.net to have some peace for a while. All other major launchers, such as Steam, offer such a feature as well, so Blizzard is under pressure. Jeff Kaplan quickly responded to these requests:

“We would like to integrate an ‘appear as Offline’ option for Overwatch. We are currently in the process of coordinating this with Battle.net and the teams of the other games. Because our social systems are cross-game (WoW, Hearthstone, HotS, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3), it’s not easy to add this functionality. I know that there has been a discussion about this topic for a long time, and things have definitely not moved as quickly as would be acceptable. I assure you that we are taking care of this feature and want to find out how we can make it a reality. (…)”

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Game Director

Thank you for your patience.”

Cortyn says: I’ve been wishing for such a feature for a long time, because sometimes I just want to play without dealing with all that “social drama” that might be lurking in the guild chat or friends list. I hope that this feature comes sooner rather than later – hopefully in the first half of 2017. That at least a reaction to this topic is coming is a good sign.

Overwatch “Sombra” and Diablo 3 “Necromancer” leaked!

Fresh food for fans. Sombra (Overwatch) and the Necromancer (Diablo 3) have been leaked.

It seems that Blizzard won’t have the luck of keeping information under wraps for long in 2016 either. Because in the “Blizzard Gear Store,” the official shop of Blizzard, some images briefly appeared that reveal quite precisely where this year’s journey is heading.

Overwatch – Image of Sombra Confirms First Leak

There have been many discussions and rumors about Sombra, especially after a supposed image of the new heroine was leaked on the selection screen of Overwatch. Now an artwork of the master hacker has emerged, confirming this leak and showcasing Sombra in all her glory – riding a gigantic Omnic that she has obviously bent to her will. This seems to confirm that the new addition will be presented in more detail at BlizzCon.

Overwatch Sombra gro

The image also gives a small hint about possible abilities. The purple beams could be her “hacking ability” that allows her to temporarily take control of or manipulate weapon systems. But before that leads to new speculations, we better wait for BlizzCon and further statements from the developers.

Diablo – The Necromancer as a “new” class

diablo-3-nekromant

Fans of Diablo 3 can also breathe easy, as they will receive new content at BlizzCon as well – provided the leak proves true. A second image showed the Necromancer in the shop, indicating that this class will be available in the game in the future. Whether that will come in the form of a patch or even a completely new expansion remains to be seen next weekend.

The Blizzcon 2016 will take place on November 4th and 5th. We will, of course, report for you.

Cortyn says: On one hand, I’m glad that there are finally more definitive information about Sombra, but on the other hand, it is naturally unfortunate for Blizzard if the big show is ruined by leaks coming to light beforehand. I just hope that these aren’t the only “big reveals” announced at BlizzCon – otherwise, that could leave fans disappointed in the end.

League of Legends: Is Christmas Coming Soon? A Winter Map is Coming!

The new winter map puts a hat on the Baron and creates a Christmas atmosphere for the players of League of Legends.

If your account in League of Legends is a few years old, you probably still remember the winter map. The mainly green map was colored white and was a welcome change for the players. With the snow on Summoners Rift and the nice little details, this special map quickly became one of the highlights for fans. A new teaser video suggests that a winter map will be activated again this year. But this one has new details that you can see in the video.

Santa Baron Nashor sends greetings

With the new winter map, Riot once again fulfills a major wish of the community. The changes for the 2017 season already took into account many wishes like a sandbox mode or an integrated replay function. We show you these and other details in our overview of the League of Legends changes for the 2017 season. Currently, League of Legends is addressing almost all the points that previously began with “Rito PLZ.” With a video teaser, they are now showing what could await us in winter.

In the video, Snow Day Bard takes us into the magic of winter and shows how Summoners Rift can look in winter. For the absolute Christmas atmosphere, we recommend watching the video with sound on. It makes a greater impression when Baron Nashor appears in his pit with his Christmas hat. With little gifts scattered around the map, the developers once again prove their love for detail.

The WIP logo in the video suggests that the map is not yet complete and that some changes can still be made. How do you like the design of the map? Did the developers manage to create a Christmas atmosphere for you as well?

Gigantic: Zweites Closed Beta Wochenende

Next weekend, selected players can once again try out the colorful MOBA Gigantic. The second Closed Beta weekend offers numerous heroes, 3 maps, and a ton of skills.

Gigantic, the colorful comic-MOBA from Motiga and Perfect World, can be tried out by selected players next weekend. It all starts on Thursday, November 3, at 5:00 PM. The fun ends on Monday, November 7, at 8:59 AM our time.

Gigantic-Tyto
What’s in the Beta?

During the second Closed Beta weekend, we will receive four fixed and four randomly selected heroes. However, we can unlock additional characters. With our chosen champion, we will battle over three maps and try to take down the enemy overlord. To do this, we need to upgrade our own beast accordingly and unleash it on the enemy, because only if our monster takes down the enemy creature can we attack the beast.

The gameplay of Gigantic feels like an action game and our skills can be diversified and customized in-game. Streamers can look forward to it, as there will be no NDA during the event. Those who already had access to the first Beta weekend are allowed to participate again, and additional invitations have been sent to registered players.

Paragon: Dusk and Dawn – What is it about?

Developer Epic Games provides further insights into the creation process of the new map in Paragon:  “Monolith”.

In Paragon, the Open Beta Free-To-Play MOBA for PC and PS4, the first test of the upcoming new map “Monolith” is just around the corner. However, before that happens, developer Epic Games is giving a preview of what players can expect and what graphical changes they can look forward to as part of a more open dialogue with the community.

Safe Gathering

Thus, Monolith will not only be nearly 30% smaller than the current map but also offer asymmetrical gameplay through the various paths. The so-called “safe path” should be the ideal route for carries like Murdock, Sparrow, or Twinblast in combination with a support character.

paragon-monolith-minimap
Highlighted: The “safe path” including new buffs (yellow dots)

A new buff located near the safe path is intended to improve team economy overall. Additionally, the layout is designed to make it difficult for enemies to gank from a natural defensive position. This creates a farming area with low risk for the still very fragile carries at the beginning of the game.

Interesting: Paragon: Monolith – First Info on the New Map

From Dusk Till Dawn

However, the upcoming map will not only bring new possibilities in gameplay. Epic has also opted for a better distinction between the two halves of the map, referring to them as Dusk and Dawn.

paragon-monolith-basis
The Dawn base of Monolith in a concept drawing

While the Dawn area will feature rounder architecture, brighter materials, as well as lush and colorful nature, the Dusk area will be the opposite. Sharper edges, cold metal, and darker tones will characterize this part of the battleground.

In addition to all these changes, verticality, a hallmark of Paragon, has also been addressed. While some heroes have gained too much advantage from an elevated position against their opponents on the current map, there will also be spatial redesigns to address this issue. We will soon be able to see how that looks in the heat of battle.

WoW: Legion – Is the secret “Cow Level” coming soon?

Is World of Warcraft also getting a cow level? At least everything indicates that it will be in January …

One of the oldest mysteries in video game history is probably the legendary cow level from Diablo 2. Since then, the phrase “There is no cow level” is probably one of the most quoted phrases on the Internet. And yet it is a flat-out lie, because Diablo 2 had a cow level. To access it, you had to combine a Tome of Town Portal with Wirt’s Third Leg in the Horadric Cube and voila – the slaughter of the udder herds could begin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdjXo94fo_8

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Diablo franchise, there is also an achievement in World of Warcraft that has a description that exactly says “There is no cow level.” Interestingly, as we know from data miners, at this time all the items are also in the game to create the portal to the cow level. “Wirt’s Third Leg” has been an item in the game since Classic, and the “Horadric Sack” along with the Town Portal Scrolls are likely to come with the related event.

The corresponding event takes place in World of Warcraft from January 4 to 10, 2017 – so there is still some time to mentally prepare for it.

But maybe all of this is just a myth and there is – at least in World of Warcraft – no cow level. But then Blizzard wouldn’t be Blizzard somehow.

CoD Infinite Warfare: What the Developers Learned from Your Beta Feedback

The developers of CoD Infinite Warfare not only collected feedback during the beta but also utilized it to make some adjustments. These include various balancing changes and matchmaking adjustments.

Before the release of a game, beta phases are used to test various aspects of the game. For instance, the developers of Call of Duty wanted to find out how well the new matchmaking system works. For this purpose, a beta phase was extended by one day. The developers were especially interested in feedback on the balancing of the game. Based on this feedback, several balance changes were made that will be active on Launch Day of CoD Infinite Warfare.

Shorter Wait Times in Matchmaking

cod-infinite

In the new matchmaking system, the player search was too detailed and took too many factors into account, resulting in unnecessarily long wait times. Even during the beta, adjustments were made to these settings to shorten the wait times. While the matchmaking system works well when creating new lobbies, joining an ongoing match took too long. This issue has also been resolved and is expected to result in shorter wait times in the multiplayer of CoD Infinite Warfare in the future. 

Changes to Weapons: The developers also evaluated the various weapons using the beta data. Based on this data, several balance changes are being implemented in the game. Here is a small excerpt of these changes.

  • Shotguns: The damage at longer distances has been increased.
  • The range for a one-shot kill has been slightly increased.
  • Sniper Rifles: The bullet spread now immediately goes to 0 as soon as the scope is on the player’s eye and is no longer reduced over time.
  • Before the optic completely reaches the player’s eye, there is no aim assist.

Changes to Game Modes: Along with the weapons, there are also some adjustments to the various game modes of CoD Infinite Warfare.

  • Defender: As the carrier of the drone, the score-per-second bonus has been increased from 5 to 10 points per second.
  • Gun Game: Now supports all classic weapons.
  • Domination: If you, as a player, move away from a flag, the capture progress was decreasing too quickly. The decrease in progress is now only half as fast, allowing players to move away from the flag to defend it.

On Reddit, you can find the full list of changes that will be active in the game on launch day. Here you can find the list of changes on Reddit. Call of Duty Infinite Warfare will be released on November 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Destiny: The videos of the week are “incredibly” good!

In Destiny we take a look at the videos of the week. Bungie has three contributions, and we provide three works from our community.

It’s that time again: Bungie raised their finger, pointed at three submissions from the worldwide community and said, “These are the best videos of the week!” This week, however, the selection was difficult since there were plenty of excellent clips. Bungie referred to them as “incredible” and “amazing” works. However, (usually) only three videos are presented weekly. All Guardians involved receive this snazzy emblem: Last Thursday we reported on a brilliant video that was celebrated by the overwhelming majority of our community: Something Strange was Discovered on the Moon. Everyone was sure: “This will be the video of the week!” But no, the dance performance in the Crota raid only landed in second place.

The title of “Video of the Week” was secured by the following masterpiece: Aksis was Defeated Solo. We also reported on that last week:

WoW: “Garrosh sollte eine Armee aus Kobolden und Troggs haben”

The Orc Garrosh in World of Warcraft was not always planned as the leader of the Iron Horde – his army looked very different at one point.

wow-trogg-garrosh

Many things in World of Warcraft have undergone a significant alteration of the story over the years to make more sense in the overall context of the universe. However, there were also many plot lines that were briefly considered and then discarded. Those who remember “Warlords of Draenor” know that Garrosh united the Iron Horde – but that was not planned from the beginning. One of the first ideas was that Garrosh would unite the “Bastard” races (“Mongrel”) and lead them into battle: Goblins, Gnolls, Troggs, and more.

There were already some concept drawings for these considerations to give the old races a sense of threat again and to explain how such a union of these very different species could even come about.

The advantage here would have been that every player from Warcraft already knows these races from the early days and some might have wondered: What has happened to the little threats?

Cortyn says: An actually cool idea, that would have required a lot of work to present it convincingly. Because if we are honest, the last time we really “feared” Goblins, Troggs, and Gnolls was when we were in the level range of 20-40 and desperately looking for the entrance to the Deadmines or Uldaman.
Nevertheless, it would certainly have been interesting to give all these races more history and a fresh look to let them line up under the motto “even the small ones are a great threat together”. Honestly, I am happy with how it turned out with Garrosh now – as an Orc fanatic, I liked him very much.

Titanfall 2: Low Sales Figures – Is Battlefield 1 to Blame?

The sales figures for Titanfall 2 are not even a quarter of what the original achieved.

That Titanfall 2 would have a hard time competing against current game releases was to be expected. In the week of its release, the game only made it to number 4 in the UK charts, standing behind Battlefield 1, the remastered version of Skyrim, and FIFA 17. According to Gamesindustry.biz, the current sales correspond to less than a quarter of the sales of the first part. However, these numbers are unlikely to be so low because of the quality of the game, as Titanfall 2 has received particularly good reviews on Metacritic.

Wrong release timing?

Battlefield - Titanfall Banner

A release between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare could be the reason why Titanfall 2 is struggling in the market right now. Battlefield 1 only lost 39% of its sales in the second week. It is not uncommon for games to lose 70% to 80% of their sales in the second week. Thus, the game maintains a strong hold at number 1 in the UK charts. Additionally, the remastered version of Skyrim has been received so well that there is currently hardly any free playtime for other games among players. Would Titanfall 2 have sold better if it had been released at a different time?

Andrew Wilson, the CEO of EA, stated earlier that Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 would not get in each other’s way. In his opinion, there is enough space in the FPS genre and many different player preferences, so that there would be no problems. Titanfall 2 not only offers a fast multiplayer, but also a campaign that has received good reviews. Additionally, unlike its predecessor, the game is now also available for PS4. It is hard to say what the exact reasons for the low sales figures are. Presumably, the timing of the release could have been better chosen.

Did you decide for or against Titanfall 2? What are your reasons?

Bless Online: Cinematic Trailer erschienen, komplett neues Kampfsystem

For the highly anticipated online role-playing game Bless there is a magnificent cinematic trailer. Additionally, the developers announce a completely new combat system for the release in the West.

Bless, the magnificent AAA-MMORPG from Korea, has still not been released in the West, but a spectacular cinematic trailer already makes you crave for more. In it, we see the world of the online role-playing game along with airships, playable feline races, and dragons.

Bless Online Title
Completely new combat system for the West!

In addition to the trailer, the developers also stated that Bless Online will be released in the West with a completely new combat system. Unfortunately, nothing about this can be seen in the cinematic trailer, and the developers have not provided us with further details so far.

The combat system was recently also the reason for the delays in the implementation of Bless in the West, as the developers found more issues here than was initially assumed. The news about a complete reinterpretation of the combat gameplay is therefore a good sign that Bless will enter the market here as an innovative and fresh game.

MU Legend: Erste Eindrücke – So spielt sich das “Diablo-MMO”

The closed beta of MU Legend has started and shows us impressions of the MMO with Diablo character.

On October 25, the launch of the closed beta of MU Legend, the sequel to MU Online, took place. During the testing phase of the action RPG, the strong focus on hack and slash elements is evident. The class selection features 5 different classes that fit various play styles. As with MU Online, there is also no class in the successor that is solely specialized in healing. We show you the first impressions of MU Legend.

Quests and dungeons await you

Players start the game with the usual character creation. You have the choice between the 5 classes Dark Lord (Tank), Blader (Melee DPS), War Mage (Wizard), Whisperer (Archer), and Emphasizer (Ranged – Crowd Control). Once the game starts, you begin your adventure at a high level (100) and start a battle against a huge monster. After completing the first section of the game and getting a taste of your character’s high level, you will be downgraded and will have to earn your new levels.

To do this, you need to kill many monsters that grant you experience points, with which you can level up 2 different levels. One level is the normal character level, which allows you to use stronger equipment and new talents as you level up. Your soul level is divided into 4 different sections: Attack, Defense, Support, and Miscellaneous, where you can allocate points upon leveling up. Additionally, there are weapon skills that are divided, for example, for the Dark Lord into 1-handed and 2-handed weapons. Quests are mainly focused on killing monsters rather than solving other tasks. In cooperative dungeons, you can fight alongside other players against nasty monsters and bosses, as you can see in the video.

The combat system may not be as smooth as in Diablo, but it offers lots of content

According to MMOCulture, the combat system of MU Legend is not as “fluid” as in Diablo. However, this is compensated by huge maps and a lot of content. In dungeons, there is the coveted equipment that you otherwise only obtain in town through crafting. To prevent players from farming dungeons all day and obtaining their equipment too quickly, the developers have taken precautions. You can enter a total of 10 dungeons per day. After that, there is a mandatory break until the counter resets. From time to time, there is an “Overdrive” for certain regions. During Overdrive, the 10-dungeon limit is lifted, and you can enter as many dungeons as you want per day.

MU Legend map

Like every other action RPG?

If you liked the first impressions of the game and want to try out MU Legend yourself, you can register for the beta on the official website. Beta registration on MULegend.webzen.com. In the humorously presented video by TheHiveLeader, you will see the various aspects of the game. He describes the game in terms of appearance and playstyle as “like every other action RPG,” which is not necessarily a negative assessment. The old scheme of “Accept a quest, kill something, accept a new quest, kill even more” also came up during quests. In summary, he describes MU Legend as a well-polished action RPG MMO that, on first impression, seems somewhat generic. Those who like these games should register for the beta phase.

MU Legend: First German beta with release date coming soon!

WoW: Legion Guide – Die versteckten Artefaktwaffenskins des Kriegers

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

In World of Warcraft: Legion, artifact weapons not only have a variety of 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 warrior.

Weapons – Arcanite Reaper

wow-legion-warrior-artifact-skin-arms

Warriors with the arms specialization must speak with Master Blacksmith Helgar in their order hall. Sooner or later, he will have a dialogue option, after which a quest begins. This requires you to travel to Dalaran and find Highlord Saurfang and speak with him. After that, return to the order hall and speak with Helgar again. Then a duel against Saurfang begins. If you emerge victorious, you can afterwards receive the new artifact weapon skin from Helgar.

Obtaining this weapon is currently only possible on the American servers. A hotfix is on the way.

Fury – Slicer of the Dragon Slayer

wow-legion-warrior-artifact-skin-fury

Fury warriors must prepare for a pretty long quest, because to obtain the alternative skin, a total of 3 items must be found, which sometimes only drop from world bosses. The first item is the “Grip of the God-King,” which drops from God-King Skovald in the Halls of Valor. The other two items are difficult to obtain: the Skull of Shar’tos and the Skull of Nithogg drop from the respective world bosses. Since there is only one of these world bosses each week (and Nithogg has already been present), this can still take a while for newcomers.

Once all 3 items are combined, you will receive the alternative appearance of the weapon.

Protection – Last Breath of the Worldbreaker

wow-legion-warrior-artifact-skin-protection

Protection warriors can approach the matter relatively relaxed. They first need an artifact knowledge level of 5 and have then a daily chance to obtain their hidden design. First, the legend on the stone tablet in the order hall must be read (behind the guy who upgrades the hall). Then make sure you are specced into defense and jump to Thunder Totem.

Afterwards, visit Neltharion’s Chamber (not the instance). Upon entering, you may read an emote that speaks of a “strange roar” in the cave. If that is the case, search the entire cave (near the piles of gold) for the alternative skin.

If you cannot read an emote, try again another day; there is a daily chance for it.

The images used for the artifact weapons come from wowhead (see sources).

MMORPG Tree of Savior erhält Mobile Ableger

Mobile MMORPGs are on the rise, which is why the online role-playing game Tree of Savior will also receive a mobile version.

As NCsoft has already shown, many game publishers – especially in the Asian region – are increasingly focusing on mobile games. This is also true for IMC Games and publisher Nexon. Some time ago, it was announced that a mobile version of the MMORPG Tree of Savior is being developed. However, this is the first time the game has been shown.

Tree of Savior
No 1:1 port

However, this is not a 1:1 port of the PC MMO, although both versions are supposed to be quite similar. One reason is the graphics. Both the PC version and the mobile game use the same assets. So you will be in the same world and see the same characters. The starting classes will also be the same.

But the mobile version of Tree of Savior does not include all the advanced jobs. Some compromises are being made, which is why it will probably not be possible to transfer your characters from one version to the other. However, the popular party system from the PC version will also be included in the mobile version and will play a very important role.

Trailer shows the mobile game

A video has been released for Tree of Savior Mobile, showing how the game operates on mobile devices. It is immediately evident that the graphics are the same; the mobile version simply looks like the PC original. Generally, the trailer gives the impression that both versions will play similarly. Therefore, the changes will likely only lie in the details, such as in the already mentioned classes. The video clearly shows that the controls will work through touch elements displayed on the screen.

Currently, it is still unclear when Tree of Savior Mobile will be released and whether it will also be available in the West.
