Destiny: Leveling up solo in Light – over 365 without a fireteam

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny, we provide you with tips on how to efficiently improve your light level as a solo Guardian.

As a lone wolf, it’s not easy in Destiny. The (most) raids are impossible solo, the Nightfall strike can only be accomplished with a lot of time and skills, and most PvE activities are designed for fireteams with multiple players. Even to be truly successful in PvP, you should have well-coordinated friends in your fireteam.

destiny-sepiks-perfected

However, even the most loyal comrades can’t always be online, which is why you occasionally have to look for ways to level up alone in light level, the maximum of which was raised with “Rise of Iron.” How can you efficiently reach values over 365 solo?

Sepiks Perfected gives you the loot you need

The Redditor vpz has put together a highly praised guide on how he reached light level 365 without a fireteam. This guide is easy to replicate.

For a good start, you can directly buy a vendor ghost shell at 350 and two armor pieces at 350. Additionally, early in “The Rise of Iron,” you will receive a “Iron Lord” artifact from Tyra Karn, which also has 350 LL.

destiny-rise-saladin

And now you play the strike “Sepiks Perfected” over and over again with the 320 difficulty. Choose the strike directly from the director. The strike goes quickly and does not require a fireteam to master it. If other Guardians leave the strike, it can also be completed solo. According to the user, the boss drops items that can be up to 365.

  • Always use the Three of Coins and save the Exotics Engrams for later.
  • Also, keep the Legendary Engrams that occasionally drop.
  • Skeleton Keys should also remain untouched in your inventory.
  • Always equip the item with the higher light level immediately. Do not infuse it. This saves you Legendary Marks and other items.
  • A problem when leveling is ghost shells and artifacts, which lower the overall light level due to their rarity. How to quickly get artifacts with higher light level, you can find out here.
  • Once you are near light level 365, you can decrypt all the stored legendary engrams. The reason for this: sought-after artifacts with high light level can also be in them. The user only decrypted these when he urgently needed a better artifact.
  • If you now have a “problem slot” where you have no item with high level but have an Exotic Engram, you can decrypt this now.
destiny-hüter-handfeuerwaffe

Now you can infuse the items you have at 365 into your good gear – or you simply keep the new items.

What to do at Light Level 365?

At 365, it becomes really difficult to level up solo. You can rely on faction reward packages, exotic engrams, and strike treasures. Or you can venture into the Nightfall strike solo.

What other options you have to reach 385 light level, we summarize here.

What tips do you have for solo Guardians?

During the Iron Banner, you can also grab items up to 385. We present the new Iron Banner after “Rise of Iron” here.

Blade & Soul: Dungeon for the Tough, Time Travel Event and even less Upgrade Grind

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Blade & Soul has done it again and in the brand new update “Citadel of the Dark Dragons” added another, even tougher dungeon. Only the strongest warriors, most skilled swordsmen, and wisest sorcerers can survive in it. Meanwhile, the bosses in the time travel event “Tower of Memories” are less tough. Additionally, there are adjustments to the upgrade costs for accessories.

Your Kung Fu is so strong that all bosses in Blade & Soul bow down to you before you even lift a finger of your divine Thunder Fist of Justice? Then you should take a look on the horizon, because the dark Citadel of the Dark Dragons is ready to challenge your mighty Kung Fu again.

Blade&Soul-DarkDragons02
Phantoms and Time Travel

The new super dungeon from NCSoft’s martial arts MMO Blade & Soul may not sound very dangerous, but the instance for four or six players offers the “Doom Phantom Zakhan” as a very strong boss, which of course brings along a few more bosses. To defeat Zakhan and his cult, you need the best equipment, and so you won’t have to grind forever for your accessories, the developers have reduced the upgrade costs by 30 percent.

Blade&Soul-Tomb03

The Citadel of the Dark Dragons is only for the toughest martial arts warriors, but even less powerful players will find something in the update. From October 5th to October 26th, the “Tower of Memories” will be open, and all players level 16 and above can participate in group events where we can battle bosses from the past. So, a kind of limited time travel with some good brawling. Additionally, there is now a spectator mode for the PvP arena. You can find the full patch notes in the source reference.

The Division: New OP weapon accidentally released from “Survival” – The MG5-LMG

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, a new weapon is known that is supposed to come into the game with the “Survival” expansion. By accident, it is already on the PTS.

Massive is currently hard at work on patch 1.4, which is still scheduled for release in October. This update does not bring new activities, but rather changes and improves the existing ones to make the player experience enjoyable again.

However, this patch is not the only project that the developers are working on. The “Survival” expansion, is also set to be released this year. Now a weapon has appeared that was supposed to come with this DLC.

MG5 is better than all the rest

The YouTuber Skill Up discovered the light machine gun MG5 at the blueprint vendor in the underground on the PTS, the public test servers. This weapon type is not yet in the game.

He then contacted the lead weapon designer from Massive, who assured him: Yes, this weapon should not be on the PTS. It will not be coming with update 1.4, but rather with the Survival expansion. However, this did not deter the YouTuber from purchasing the blueprint for Phoenix Credits and testing it thoroughly. With the result: The MG5 is definitely better than all other weapons in the game.

division-vergleich249b

What makes the weapon so strong? Compared to other LMGs, the MG5 has simply outstanding values. Here is a comparison with the M249 B:

The base damage is roughly equal, but the rate of fire is significantly higher. Only the magazine size is smaller.

division-vergleich-rpk

A comparison with the RPK-74 E clearly favors the MG5:

division-vergleich-l86

There is not a single reason why one should prefer the RPK-74 E over the MG5. The same goes for the L86:

However, in terms of handling, the MG5 pulls strongly upward. However, this can be compensated with mods for stability.

You can see this beast in action in the embedded video above, as it quickly chews through the health bars of enemies.

Note: This weapon is currently only available on the PTS. Since it is so overpowered, it can be assumed that it will not come to the main game in its current form with “Survival.” Otherwise, it would be the only logical choice for the primary slot.

Update: Meanwhile, according to Massive, the weapon should no longer be available. Moreover, it is still not balanced, especially not for 1.4.

What do you think of the LMG monster?

With Survival comes a new enemy faction: The Hunters!

Black Desert Online: Pre-Patch fürs Meer und Dev-Blog zu Life-Skills

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

For Black Desert Online there is now a pre-patch that prepares the previously unreachable sea of Margoria . Additionally, developer Jae Hee Kim has addressed the life skills such as farming, hunting, and horse breeding and explained them.

The sea is approaching in small drops, as the second pre-patch with content for the upcoming Margoria update has now reached the servers of Kakao Games Sandbox MMO. In addition to the Margoria pre-patch, there have been a few smaller adjustments, for example, silver now weighs about a third less than before.

No Awakening, but Dev Talk

Moreover, there are adjustments to certain items and a snack package for the guild elephant is also a must-have. This will quickly make the pachyderm fit again. New Awakening weapons based on those of the warrior, the black magician, and the berserker are not available this time.

Anyone less interested in the patch, but curious about the backstory behind the “life skills” of Black Desert Online, should check out the dev blog by developer Jae Hee Kim. There, the game designer explained in detail how the game mechanics behind activities such as farming, fishing, and livestock breeding came about. The simple answer: “We wanted a system that is fun!”. The complex explanation can be found in full detail on the dev blog at the provided link.

Destiny: How speedrunners play the game! With impressive Sparrow skills

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

A video has been released on Destiny that includes gameplay footage showcasing simply impressive skills.

Each of us plays Destiny differently. One is a daring brawler who throws himself into hordes of enemies and ruthlessly mows down everything in his path. The other prefers to operate from the background and ends the fight successfully with skilled sniper shots.

For some Guardians, however, only one criterion is in the foreground: speed. They try to complete certain PvE activities in the shortest time possible to attract attention in the speedrunning community. A few months ago, we reported on a user who took only about a minute to complete the story mission “Faust von Crota”.

The YouTuber JakesAndStuff now showcases a speedrun that lasts 2:12 minutes, but is all the more impressive. He did not require heavy shooter skills for this, but rather an outstanding handling of his Sparrow.

Dead in a Flash – Not even Draksis can see that quickly

The following video features the story mission “Scourge of Winter” being played on Venus. In it, you must seek out and eliminate Draksis, the Winter Kell. You can see how this is achieved in just over two minutes here:

While some may still be busy trying to pick up their jaw, the YouTuber summarizes that there is still room for improvement. The time can definitely be beaten.

For many Guardians, today’s conclusion is likely: their own Sparrow skills could still use a bit of improvement. After all, JakesAndStuff manages to reach places with the vehicle that are not really intended for Sparrows using the necessary tricks. In short: impressive!

What do you think about it? Do you perform such stunts before brushing your teeth?

A place that you definitely cannot reach with the Sparrow is the highest area on the Felwinter Peak. Here we show you how to get to the top in Destiny.

Pokémon GO: More Rare Pokémon Through Catch Bonus Feature!

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A new feature will soon make it easier for trainers to catch rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

Catching rare Pokémon is not always easy, as finding these monsters is a challenge in itself. Once you find a rare Pokémon, you still have to catch it. You hope that the corresponding PokéBall does everything right and stays closed. If a rare Pokémon escapes after it has “actually” been in the PokéBall but then freed itself, frustration is guaranteed. With a new feature in Pokémon GO, the catch chance for certain Pokémon types will soon be increased.

Higher chance of catching rare Pokémon
Pokémon GO

On the official “Pokémon GO” website, a feature has now been announced that gives you a catch bonus for Pokémon-related medals. These medals have names like Hothead, Psychic, and Gardener, and are associated with certain Pokémon types. So if you reach a higher rank of your Hothead medal, your chance of catching fire-type Pokémon like Charmander, Vulpix, Ponyta, or other Pokémon of the “Fire” type increases.

But how do you raise the rank of a medal? You can increase the rank of a medal by catching Pokémon of a specific type. So if you catch a lot of plant-type Pokémon, the rank of the corresponding medal increases.

For Pokémon with 2 types, the average of your bonuses for these types is used. For example, Pidgey has the types Normal and Flying. The catch bonus for this Pokémon would be the average of your bonuses for Normal and Flying type. So if you catch a lot of Pidgey, this bonus is valid not only for other Pidgey but also for other Pokémon with Normal and/or Flying type.

When this feature will be released has not yet been announced by developer Niantic. We will keep you updated on this.

Warframe: Love at Second Kick

Pascal Pascal Reading time 5 minutes

A veteran player discusses waiting for new content and the challenge of filling the inner void in Warframe. A column by our author Pascal.

The Beginnings

When I first launched Warframe over two and a half years ago, much was different than it is today. There was no cinematic introduction quest to slowly familiarize new players with the story and the vast universe, no overview of what the endless expanse had to offer gameplay-wise, and hardly any helpful tips on how to progress.

In short: My first encounter with Warframe was not an easy or positive one; it was not love at first sight. Therefore, I left the title behind after a few weeks and turned to other things that were more accessible and understandable.

warframe2
The first Prime I could earn

Yet something in me did not want to give up so easily, did not want to throw in the towel right away, wanted to give the sci-fi shooter with its refreshingly different and fast parkour movement another chance. It just couldn’t be that it was indeed so difficult to understand and at least somewhat master the mechanics, the universe, and the game itself.

At that time, however, there was no one with whom I could attempt a second try. The friend I first explored Warframe with had already been uninterested back then and could never get excited about it again. Therefore, I had no choice but to find a clan whose members would explain the basics to me, answer my questions, and guide me a little.

Fortunately, I found a large, mostly friendly, and helpful clan that did just that and opened my eyes to the vast game world and the seemingly endless freedom the game offered. Whether it was assembling and altering weapons and their stats, combining and enhancing character abilities, or just little tips and tricks – suddenly it “clicked,” and the world of Warframe captivated me.

warframe3
My Frost Prime found a home

I began to painstakingly pursue things that interested me on my own, because it was clear early on that Warframe would not be a game for the casual player. To understand everything and really progress, to get the best out of one’s equipment and character, it was not enough to just play blindly.

Thus, I accumulated my knowledge over more than 1500 hours of gameplay in the English wiki (since the German one unfortunately has significant gaps), brought every single Warframe and every terrible weapon I could find to their maximum level, and reached the current highest mastery rank of 22.

Over time, Warframe became my passion, my enthusiasm, to which I dedicate time even when I’m not actively playing. My love for the game went so far that at the end of last year, on the suggestion of mein-mmo.de, I sat down to write a current German beginner’s guide, as it simply couldn’t be that something like this was so hard to find and, if at all, was consistently outdated and anything but complete and error-free.

warframe4
Trinity and Kavat – on the verge of new adventures

Over time, the entry for new players became easier, yet unfortunately, much is still only touched upon or learned significantly more easily and quickly in conversations with seasoned Warframe veterans.

Therefore, to all who may not have engaged with Warframe yet or are suffering from starting difficulties and want to know how to progress, the recently updated guide is highly recommended. Just take a little time for reading and have something nice to drink.

The Vacuum Within

As it often is when you spend a lot of time with something or someone, a certain routine sets in, which sometimes leads to boredom. I have now reached a point in Warframe where that is indeed the case. You play a round or two to collect your focus points, check out the daily mission assignments, maybe do a few Syndicate missions, or just quickly start the game to grab the daily login bonus.

In short: you have seen and tried everything, accumulated all mods, weapons, and Warframes numerous times, and are waiting for new, exciting content. Meanwhile, a certain emptiness, a sense of indifference sets in, as the developer simply cannot deliver new content as quickly as one would wish. Which is understandable.

warframe5
Sentients – an underestimated opponent

The question, however, arises as to what constitutes true new content. For some, it may be sufficient to receive new weapons and mods. Players who have only recently discovered Warframe or those who simply have not progressed far may find a target to work toward through these additions.

However, this hardly keeps a long-term player engaged, or it leads to nothing more than an indifferent shoulder shrug, simply because the additional arsenal is mostly not useful, as you own far better and more meaningful items. Not to mention that you can max out a new toy in at most 2 missions.

Yet even when it is not just fodder for the mastery rank, but a high-end piece that can split opponents in half with a single strike, many Warframe veterans and content creators & YouTubers see this as a “problem” as there currently is no need to deal out such sometimes ridiculously high damage.

warframe6
Titania’s backstory is revealed through her quest

And they are right. Before the rework of the star chart and the associated change in the void, rather the ability to obtain prime parts, the name of the so-called “endless” missions also applied to them. It only required one key for 4 players, and then one could play a capture, survival, or defense mission for as long as the enemies became actually too strong or one simply lost interest after 3 hours or longer.

In the old system, you collected maximum loot with minimal effort (1 key). Here, good, perfected equipment and a well-coordinated team still made sense. However, with the introduction of relics, the

The Division: Open world will become more lucrative, your agents will become even more powerful with 1.4

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, with the start of the third week of the PTS phase, numerous changes will be implemented.

Today, on October 6th, the third week of the PTS phase begins, during which the new features of update 1.4 will be tested and adjusted. The servers should be back online at 1:30 PM, allowing you PC agents to directly try out the changes. But beware: The progress you’ve made on the PTS will be wiped. The database has been reset.

division-feind

According to the developers, we are getting closer to the final result for update 1.4. Only minor adjustments need to be made. For week 3, a list of patch notes has now been published, from which we will pick out the most important aspects.

Time to Kill and Time to be killed will be adjusted

A major goal of update 1.4 is to ensure that you feel powerful again and that not every random NPC is overwhelmingly superior to you. This direction has already been strongly pursued, but is now taking a further step:

  • The enemies from level 31 to 33 will now deal 15% less damage to you.
  • Additionally, the armor of elite enemies at levels 31 to 33 will be weakened by 17%>.

In other words: You can take them out faster and withstand more yourself.

division-bullet-king

Moreover, the threat mechanic will be adjusted. NPCs will now react differently to your behavior. Some of your skills, such as the ballistic shield, generate threat, while others reduce it. You will have more control and more options when tanking through this mechanic. Massive’s request: Test it and give your feedback.

Farming in the open world will be more lucrative

In the open world, two important changes are coming. Firstly, the spawn time of named NPCs has been significantly reduced. They now reappear 4 hours after being killed, instead of 24 as before.

Additionally, the “Search and Destroy” missions will be quicker and easier, making farming more efficient. Enemies will now appear as “normal” foes or as veterans, and no longer as elites. On top of that, you will receive more target data when you complete these missions.

division-hvt-officers

The high-value targets and high-risk objectives now scale in difficulty based on the size of your squad. They can now also be completed solo.

Further innovations:

  • The new Banshee set now has the bonus for non-rogue agents instead of the increased movement speed, meaning you no longer lose experience or Dark Zone currency when you die.
  • Named weapons are no longer tied to a gear score. 229 is possible. The only exception remains the Damascus, which can only be obtained after completing the story.
  • Valkyria and Liberator can now be purchased from a Phoenix Credits vendor with respective scores.
    division-valkyria
  • There are some adjustments to loot: For example, you will now receive crafting materials instead of guaranteed high-end items from the Four Horsemen.
  • In the future, crafting will be revised, but not with 1.4.
  • Division Tech is becoming nearly useless. It is only useful for being converted into crafting materials.
  • With all currencies, you can purchase sealed containers. With Phoenix Credits, you will be able to choose from which “item pool” the items inside should come, such as weapons, mods, or gear sets.
  • In all incursions, you will find all gear sets. However, some incursions will yield more of certain armor pieces: (Note: Armor here refers to chest protection).

World of Tanks: The first Swedish tank with update 9.16

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Tanks, with Update 9.16, the first Swedish tank comes into play as a premium vehicle. The patch also offers a new map in the French capital Paris, as well as sound upgrades.

In World of Tanks, the first tank from cold Sweden rumbles across the battlefields with Update 9.16. It is actually just a model, as the “Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2” is currently the only tank of the Northerners that we can drive in Wargaming’s tank hunt.

WoT-Update9.16
The Swedish Frenchman

The Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 is a medium tank that fights at Tier VI. It is equipped with a French combat turret that comes from the AMX 13. Therefore, the Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 also has an automatic loader, which is actually typical for French tanks, making it the first Tier 6 tank with this feature. Unfortunately, the Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 is not available through regular gameplay and is only accessible as a premium tank for real money.

France was not only the main sponsor of the Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2, but the new map “Paris” also comes from the land of the French. By the way, this new map will appear twice as often in random battles until October 19. In addition to these changes, the developers have packed even more new features into Update 9.16, including improved sound, a comparison option for tanks in the garage, and much more. You can find the full announcement for Update 9.16 in the source reference.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Regions introduced in cool videos – Jungle, Canyon and Co.

New regions of Ghost Recon Wildlands have now been showcased on Ubisoft’s YouTube channel. Insights into the history of these places are also provided.

In the first gameplay videos of Ghost Recon Wildlands, viewers could already get a glimpse of the game’s environment. The game features dynamic weather and a day-night cycle. These two features further impact the surroundings and bring variety to the different missions.

The areas range from valleys to high mountains

The videos showcase the various areas and regions and tell part of the background story of each location. It is explained which people live there and what dangers lurk in the surroundings. In Ghost Recon Wildlands, it does not restrict itself to a specific setting, but creates a varied gaming experience with environmental changes and weather shifts. However, in the background, there are always the “bad guys” who tarnish the beautiful image of these places.

The Elder Scrolls Online: One Tamriel ist live, mehr Freiheiten für die Spieler!

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

It is time: Zenimax Online has released the DLC One Tamriel and the associated patch for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online.

With the DLC, you can now enjoy the game as you wish. When you find yourself in Tamriel after the tutorial, you do not have to follow the storyline to level up slowly. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. All content and areas are scaled. This means that you will always face a challenge, but it will always be achievable. You no longer need a minimum level to tackle certain content, and you do not have to belong to a specific faction to complete certain quests.

elder-scrolls-online-one-tamriel-duelle
Tamriel is one!

With this, they want to give players more freedom to experience the world as they wish, and they want to remove as many hurdles for casual players as possible, allowing them to experience all content. It is even possible for you to team up with players from a different alliance. Only the land of Cyrodiil still works as before. Here you must consider your level in the PvP battles. Otherwise, you can also fight players outside of Cyrodiil by challenging them to duels. During the duel, you stay in a designated zone. The first to reach 0 hit points loses.

You can try this right away, for example in the Kargstein zone, which was previously designed only for groups. Now, even solo players can keep up here. You may now enter dungeons in both Normal and Veteran modes, which affects the difficulty level. You will still only find loot that is appropriate for your level. New weapons, ultimates, and an increase in champion points are also included in the update. You can find the complete, extensive patch notes on the official website. There you will also find a note about Update 13 and the upcoming housing system!

Since October 4th, the October Iron Banner has been running in 2016. And there are some new things: There are fresh items, changed rules, and a new Iron Banner representative: Efrideet. This former Iron Lord has returned and takes over the role that Lord Saladin has excellently fulfilled in recent years.

With Efrideet, you will find bounties and the Weapons and armor pieces in the “Iron Banner” look, which you can acquire from certain Iron Banner ranks. She is now the contact person for the monthly PvP event. You can find her at the Felwinter Peak, when you run over the bridge and then turn left.

But Lord Saladin also has a new item in his inventory: A Dusty Iron Engram. What is this?

With Silver Dust for old Iron Banner Gear

In addition to emblems and shaders, Lord Saladin now sells you a “Dusty Iron Engram.” You have to pay 5 Silver Dust for it. The in-game description reads:

Contains an Iron Banner armor piece.

When you have the dusty engram decrypted by the Cryptarch, Iron Banner items from year 1 and 2 are included. For example, the Iron Insignia items and the Iron Will items.

destiny-alte-eisenbanner-items

All decrypted items are at Light Level 3. Therefore, Dusty Iron Engrams are not suitable for leveling up. Collectors, however, should be pleased with the chance to obtain these stylish armor pieces.

However, the 5 Silver Dust is not exactly little for many Guardians – unless you want to spend real money for Radiant Treasures. Some prefer to save this new currency for the ornaments that Xur brings week after week.

Do you have questions about Rise of Iron, as everything is so new and confusing? In our guide collection for year 3 of Destiny, you’ll surely get help. Here you can find guides, info, and numerous help articles.

Overwatch: Developer Update – “Two new heroes in development”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

New heroes and a rework of Symmetra are coming soon to Overwatch .

Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch, addressed the player community in a new “Developer Update” video and discussed some “hot topics” that are currently on the minds of the community. This included new heroes, new game modes, a rework of Symmetra, and plenty of quality of life improvements.

Next Overwatch hero “coming soon”

If you’re waiting for new heroes in Overwatch, you should be satisfied soon. Because according to Kaplan, the next hero of Overwatch will be implemented into the game “soon,” as the developers are very pleased with the abilities and design. Another hero is currently in the conceptual phase, but the whole team is so excited about it that they are confident it will be realized. This second hero is likely to appear in 2017, as he does not yet have any custom animations or effects – those are currently just placeholders.

Symmetra is set to become more versatile

Overwatch Symmetra Posing 2

As previously mentioned several times, the developers are considering a fundamental change to Symmetra. Many fans from the community are demanding that she should receive healing abilities – but the developers are not pursuing that path. It has never been the design of Symmetra to be able to heal actively.

Nevertheless, they want to pay her a lot of attention so that she is useful in more situations and not just in the defense of the first control point. Jeff Kaplan does not specify a concrete date for these changes to Symmetra. Players should expect it “no earlier than mid-November”, but it could also be considerably later (possibly even 2017). Comprehensive changes undergo long internal testing first.

Apart from that, the developers are working on several new maps and game modes, although Kaplan emphasizes that some will likely never get past internal testing because not all good ideas create a good game mode.

If you have about fifteen minutes, you can watch all of Kaplan’s statements in the video yourself:

Cortyn comments: If you’re planning significant changes to Symmetra for “no earlier than mid-November”, it gives the impression that a major patch is on the way – perhaps one so large that it might even include a new hero? However, who this might be is a different question. It’s slowly time to release more information about Sombra, as the lady is already failing to meet expectations.

FIFA 17: TOTW 3 – Das Team der Woche vom 5.10. – 12.10. in FUT 17

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 17, the Team of the Week is known from October 5th to October 12th in the “Ultimate Team” mode. Which players will receive a coveted “in-form” card?

This week, there are some highlights in the TOTW. From a German perspective, Lukas Podolski made it into the team, who incidentally has one of the best shot power ratings in FUT 17.

With overall ratings of 89, Lloris and Higuain are outstanding. But a special feature in this team is particularly exciting – or rather three of them. Because there are three “Ones to Watch” cards in TOTW 3, namely Higuain, Giuliano, and Embolo from Schalke. Those who already own one of these stars in focus can now rejoice: Because this card will be upgraded according to the “in-form” card.

Next, we will take a close look at all player ratings of the TOTW.

The ratings and player values of the “Team of the Week” players – Week 3

totw3-elf

Here is the starting XI of the “Team of the Week” players:

totw3-auswechsel

And here are the substitutes:

These players are available in the packs from Wednesday at 7 PM until the following Wednesday, October 12th, at 6:45 PM. After that, you can only acquire these special cards on the transfer market.

What is TOTW anyway?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This also applies to FIFA 17. The players who showed outstanding performances in real football the previous week are rewarded with special cards that possess improved attributes.

You can pull the TOTW cards from packs that can contain Rare (Gold) players within a week. However, the chance of doing so is considered low. Additionally, you can buy them on the transfer market when they are offered by other players. However, prices are usually extremely high.

Good luck opening the packs!

WoW: Legion – Second LFR wing of the Nightmare open earlier than planned!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Fans of LFR raids in WoW can continue playing today – the second wing of the Nightmare is open a week earlier than planned.

When Blizzard revealed the plans for the release of the first raid a few weeks ago, the plan seemed somewhat different from how it is now implemented. Fans of the LFR tool were actually supposed to have another week in the first wing of the Emerald Nightmare, facing only the first 3 bosses.

3 fresh bosses, one week early

Blizzard has now opened the second part of the Emerald Nightmare for LFR players – a week early. Therefore, everyone can now easily face the following 3 bosses:

  • Ursoc
  • The Dragons of Nightmare (Ysondre)
  • Cenarius
WoW Legion corrupted Cenarius

The item level of the bosses is 835+ (meaning guaranteed 835 with a chance for an upgrade). Also, remember to pick up the seals from Archmage Lan’dalock before visiting Dalaran so you have a bonus roll on the loot for the bosses you want.

However, the last boss, Xavius, cannot be defeated yet. Access to the final boss of the Emerald Nightmare will be available on October 19, 2016 – this date has also been moved up by a week.

Cortyn says: Now that I’m “actively raiding” again, my heart bleeds a little when I look at the LFR. It’s sad how much the boss mechanics can simply be ignored and it takes away much of the appeal of the cool instance. Those who have the opportunity should look for a proper raid group – even if it’s just for one or two nights. In normal (or heroic) mode, the raid is a completely different experience.

This marks the beginning of the third week of this test phase. We will learn about the changes made during today’s “State of the Game,” which we will report on.

Sea of Thieves: Die Entwickler sprechen über die Musik

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time < 1 minutes

What kind of music do you imagine in a pirate game? The developers of the upcoming online game Sea of Thieves have talked about that.

Does an orchestral, “clean” soundtrack make sense in a game about pirates? No, the developers at Rare thought. The music has to sound like it is played by pirates and not by professional musicians. Not an easy task when you are actually a professional musician and have to create the soundtrack for Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves Undead
This is how you make pirate music!

So they first had to choose the right musical instruments. When you think of sailing, the accordion inevitably comes to mind. Therefore, it will play a prominent role in the music. Also, bones will often be heard for rhythm, with the musicians using real animal bones to create an authentic sound. Of course, one shouldn’t forget about a barrel organ that they had specially made for the game.

All this leads to a typical music style for pirate movies in the game, which doesn’t sound too clean, but rather like a band of drunken buccaneers making music together. The online game will be released in February for Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One.

WildStar: Hoverboard races from “Back to the Future” are back!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Wildstar the popular hoverboard racing inspired by the movie “Back to the Future” is back. Just like last year, our heroes in NCSoft’s colorful MMORPG can once again treat their boards with speed wax and complete wacky racetracks accompanied by flame trails.

Every year the so-called “zPrix” comes to WildStar. It’s a totally cool event where we use the typical hoverboards from WildStar for all sorts of wild racing courses. We zip through areas of the game that have been quickly transformed into racetracks at breakneck speed. We have to drive through numerous rings and boosters and jump to gain valuable speed boosts.

Hoverboard Goodies and Costumes

Because only with top speed can we achieve the necessary best times for particularly cool goodies. These include special costumes and items that all fit well with the theme of “Back to the Future”. For example, an emote that simulates a lightning strike with “1.21 GigaZapp”, a flame trail animation, or the hoverboard rider costume inspired by Marty McFly’s future outfit.

wildstar-hoverboard2016-02

This year’s zPrix in WildStar starts on October 7th and ends again on October 11th. In addition to the event, there are cool hoverboards in the item shop, including the brand new “zBoard 83 Hummelsing”. You can start the event through special NPCs that you can find as Exiles in Thayd at the Champions’ Corner. Subjects of the Dominion, on the other hand, go to the magnificent Illum and look for the zPrix NPC at the Conqueror’s Square.

What do you think of the hoverboard racing? Is it a reason to log back into WildStar? Or do you think hoverboards are wildly overhyped? Let us know in the comments.
