WoW: Legion – Mit der Companion App immer auf dem Laufenden

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Companion App for World of Warcraft: Legion is released today. We reveal what the software can do.

Keep an eye on order halls and world quests

Since Blizzard has realized that we gamers can’t be at the computer 24/7, no matter how much we sometimes wish we could, the developers have now launched an app that should work on most Android and iOS devices – the app will be released today (09/06/2016)!

The “Legion Companion App” is truly beneficial only if you have purchased the current expansion “Legion,” as all features relate to the new content of the game.

What can you do with the app?

The app’s functions mainly focus on all activities that can be completed in the order halls. This includes the following features:

  • Followers and champions can be sent on missions and these can be completed.
  • Any rewards will be added to your character’s inventory.
  • Upgrade levels of the order hall can be explored.
  • The equipment of the champions can be modified.
  • New troops can be recruited.

The various functions obviously require the corresponding amount of order hall resources to be executed.

WoW Legion App Release

Additionally, once your character reaches level 110, the world map can be accessed to display current world quests. There, rewards are shown, as well as how long a quest will still be available. For those with a tight schedule, this makes it easy to plan short gaming sessions so that important rewards do not expire.

By the way: The app cannot be used simultaneously with the game. It is not possible to manage the order hall while also being in the game world with your character. Only one service (game or app) can access the account at a time.

Black Desert: Awakening für die Magierin – Magier werden jünger?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

In Black Desert, the Awakening weapon of the Sorceress is introduced, showing that the Sorceress apparently invents a rejuvenation spell.

With Lightning and Ice to Take Down Opponents

While the first Awakening weapons for characters from Black Desert are slowly being released in the European version, the Korean version is already approaching the finish line. In a new video, Kakaogames has now introduced the Awakening weapon of the Sorceress. As a Tamer of the Elements, the Sorceress now increasingly focuses on devastating lightning attacks that deal damage to enemies over a wide area.

However, that’s not enough on its own (and a Sorceress of the world must also show off), as enemies are still being frozen or uprooted with the power of the earth. She teleports rapidly across the battlefield, but must charge many attacks first in order to unleash the wrath of the storm upon her foes afterward. You can see how it all plays out in the following video.

At the end of the video, there is even a small preview of the Awakening weapons of the Wizard. The last seconds particularly have left some fans amazed and pondering, as the displayed Wizard looks exceptionally young – much younger than would be possible with the current character settings. The developers remain tight-lipped about what this exactly means.

Either the Awakening weapon changes the character, or in the future, there will be the possibility to create much younger Wizards – something fans have been wishing for quite a while. We will keep you updated.

Destiny: Three of Coins in “Rise of Iron” – How to use them effectively?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Three of Coins will also be available in “The Rise of Iron.” Bungie has commented on this.

The Three of Coins are mysterious consumables that have been in the game since “The Taken King.” You can obtain them by successfully completing the Nightfall strike or by exchanging Strange Coins with the exotic vendor Xur.

If you use the coins, your chances of receiving an exotic engram from the next ultra-kill or from a completed Crucible match will increase. The effect is supposed to be stackable and will increase if the last “Three of Coins” usage was unsuccessful.

destiny_rise_of_iron_new_crucible_maps_pvp_skyline

According to Scott Taylor, the executive producer of “Rise of Iron,” these items will also be available in the upcoming fall expansion of Destiny. Bungie is happy with the concept that the Guardians are always excitedly anticipating an exotic engram when they take down an ultra. They do not want to take that away from the players.

This is how the executive producer uses the Three of Coins

Although the Three of Coins have been in the game for a whole year now, no final success recipe has been found on how to use the coins effectively. At the launch of TTK, these items dropped too many exotics, which is why a patch was released shortly after. This addressed the Draksis farming method. Now, Guardians are still puzzled about whether there is a kind of cooldown after a successful use, how many coins should be used at once, or what wild rituals might be the most promising.

destiny_rise_of_iron_new_crucible_maps_pvp_lastexit__01

In an interview with Eurogamer, Taylor now gives a clear answer on how he does it. He only activates one coin at a time. And when asked if there is a cooldown timer, he says: No, there isn’t.

However, this statement contradicts a passionate study that some Guardians put together a few months ago. The result was: Yes, the Three of Coins have a cooldown, during which the chance of exotics is significantly lower. In a “speedrun,” you win an exotic roughly every 10 coins; if you use them more carefully, only about 5 coins are needed for an exotic.

We have already reported extensively on this “Three of Coins” study.

WoW: Legion – “The highest player count in several years”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has confirmed what many suspected: The player numbers of World of Warcraft have developed splendidly with Legion.

The Burning Legion invites heroes back to Azeroth

Blizzard has been at PAX West in the past few days and not only revealed some details about the upcoming Karazhan patch, but also about Legion and the state of the game itself. The developers seemed visibly satisfied, as the reviews of the expansions are consistently good, with few exceptions of downward trends.

WoW Harbingers Illidan

There is certainly more significance to the comment that the current number of players in the game is higher than it has been for “several years”.

WoW Comic Highmountain Divided Tauren

An important feature that fans have been asking for years was more class-specific quests. Since Cataclysm, class quests had been removed from the game – with few exceptions. Previously, it was thought better to develop quests “for all players” so that more players could enjoy more content. With Legion, this has been developed exactly in the opposite direction. This ensures that each class feels different from the quests and thus gives the classes more individuality – exactly what fans have wanted for years. This is now rewarded with higher player numbers.

Mein-MMO believes: These are certainly good news for World of Warcraft, but the developers are also experts in vague statements. There is no really reliable data, so “more players than for a few years” could essentially just mean the two years since Warlords of Draenor. Subjectively, however, Legion clearly attracts more players back to Azeroth than the last expansion did. The Burning Legion is simply a more appealing enemy than the highly technological orcs from the past of another timeline.

Battlefield 1: Is a new map coming to the open beta?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Will there be another map to choose from in the open beta of Battlefield 1?

The open beta of Battlefield 1 currently offers two game modes on one map. Many players have been wishing for another map since the beta started to have more variety during the testing phase. However, the developers have stated so far that another map is not planned. The latest responses from the Battlefield Twitter account, however, say that suggestions for another map are being accepted in the Battlefield forums.

Second beta map for Battlefield 1?

It was a surprise for many players to see a different map in the beta version of Battlefield 1 than in the alpha version. There, players experienced the Scar of St. Quentin. Now it’s time for the “Sinai Desert” map, which all players can try out. Although the developers have already announced an official end to the beta, they are now accepting suggestions for additional maps.

So which maps should be available right at the beginning of the game. However, the responses from the “Battlefield 1” Twitter account are in direct context to beta requests.

Will the open beta be extended?

If the developers were to include a second map in the open beta of Battlefield 1, it would be conceivable for the beta phase to be extended as a result. The actual end of the beta on September 8 could then be postponed to the upcoming weekend. This would give players more time to test the game and see the dynamic weather in action on another map. However, this is only wishful thinking from some fans.

ArcheAge: Revelation Update 3.0 should feel like a new game

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

This year, the MMORPG ArcheAge will be expanded with Update 3.0: Revelation, which represents the largest update for the game to date.

This update brings extensive changes and expansions to the game. This includes a complete storyline for the new races of Dwarves and Warborn, leading players from Level 1 to Level 30. Featured are new quests, zones, items, and housing areas. While the Dwarves live in a snowy region on Nuia, the Warborn are at home in a devastated area on Haranya. Both races will receive their own capital city.

ArcheAge
Of Dwarves and Warborn

The male Dwarves resemble those known from D&D. They enjoy drinking, are fantastic craftsmen and miners, and fearless warriors. The female Dwarves, on the other hand, have a more feminine look. This means they have no beards, are stout, but also attractive. The Warborn appear as walking demons, although the female representatives of the race look somewhat more feminine. Both races possess a special skill that allows them to transform into a kind of “ultimate form”. This is unlocked at Level 30 and is particularly suited for PvP battles.

The six new zones offer numerous PvE and housing content. In each area, there is a special item that can be crafted. Crafting is expanded. Masters, for example, can produce a vehicle that can be sold. In each area, there exists a community center through which housing is managed. As the owner of a house, you must interact with the community center and complete the listed goals there. This provides rewards. In this way, the community center grows, and when it reaches Level 3, you can craft a very special item.

A Peaceful Zone

ArcheAge

The zone Anamar on the western continent is a peaceful housing zone full of farms. Here, 800 to 1,200 houses can be built, and players can focus entirely on their craft without having to fear being attacked. Because PvP is not possible here. The zone is intended for recovering from the war. The Revelation update is expected to be released at the end of the year, with Trion Worlds estimating December. At the same time, new servers will go online, which are based on a new cluster. However, anyone wanting to play there will need a new account.

Pokémon GO: Catching Dragonite? Alleged spawn behavior discovered

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a pattern has been discovered that is said to make catching a Dragonite easier.

Rare Pokémon are popular in Pokémon GO and are sought after by trainers. Unlike Pidgey, a Dragonite does not appear on every 5th blade of grass and wants to be caught by you. Comments are piling up on Reddit, confirming that Dragonite often appears near a specific Pokémon.

Where does Dragonite spawn in Pokémon GO?

Pokemon GO

According to users in the subreddit TheSilphRoad, they have found that Dragonite is often caught near Clefairy spawns. The TheSilphRoad subreddit specializes in a detailed analysis of game data. In a recent thread, a user claimed that the appearance of Dragonite often occurs near Clefairy nests/habitats. In the comments, there was prompt confirmation: “I can confirm that Dragonite spawns near Clefairy. The only place I have seen Dragonite is the same place where I farm Clefairy.”

He added a picture to his comment and said that only 2 of the Dragonite in his collection came through evolution. He caught the rest in the Clefairy area. Following this analysis, other users reported that they have now caught Dragonite thanks to this tip (Reddit thread by Cryomancerr). The chance of a spawn of the dragon is said to be relatively low, with about 200 Clefairy leading to 1 Dragonite.

According to PokémonGOHub, Dragonite typically spawns in elevated areas such as hills or mountains – Clefairy also often spawns there. If you have a mountain nearby where Clefairy commonly spawns, then keep an eye out for Dragonite there. Feel free to share your experiences with us if you’ve tried this method.

Keep in mind the low chance of a Dragonite spawn when you go looking. It will not appear as frequently as a Pidgey or a Caterpie.

Overwatch: Play of the Game of the Week – Reinhardt clears the way

In the current plays of the week from Overwatch , Reinhardt swings the hammer. Additionally, a Genji gets caught off guard.

When Reinhardt hammers twice

Every week, a multitude of fun plays happen in Overwatch that are so entertaining or funny that you should check them out. But instead of rummaging through Reddit and social media, you have us. We present to you three “Play of the Game” moments this week that you don’t experience every day.

The first scene of the day comes from the Ana player Judaslover, who has experienced a rather unusual highlight. On the new map Eichenwalde, Ana granted her Reinhardt a Nanoboost, only to pass away moments later. Reinhardt then single-handedly clears the entire enemy team – that’s what you call the sacrifice of a healer!

Our second clip also shows a Reinhardt, played by Sexykorean (yes, today we’ve caught the funny names), who plunges into the enemy team with gusto. After a stunning attack on 4 opponents, a precise fire strike, and a subsequent charge, three enemies are already down. But see for yourself.

Our last contribution for this week showcases the probably unluckiest Genji there ever was. Proxer makes the (relatively difficult) jump on Ilios, so he jumps from the center of the map to the enemy spawn point. Heroically, he draws his katana to engage the newly appearing enemies – only to experience his afternoon miracle a split second later.

In recent years, it has become fashionable to publish various statistics about the numbers and events in MMORPGs. World of Warcraft is no exception and has shown in a large infographic how the pre-event of Legion unfolded.

The numbers provide insight into how many players participated in the different demon invasions and also some interesting facts about the demon hunters.

Overall, more than 2.5 million demon invasions were successfully repelled during the roughly 3 weeks of the pre-event. However, this number seems to be slightly distorted, as the invasions ultimately also “defended themselves” because eventually the NPCs managed to handle the problems themselves.

More exciting is the following fact: During the pre-event, a proud 3.9 million demon hunters were created, who fought for victory on Mardum under Illidan’s leadership. Since demon hunters could only be created by pre-order customers, it gives at least a rough idea of how many players were ready to purchase the expansion beforehand.

Also amusing is the following number: More than 1.7 million instance visits were undertaken by groups that had at least 4 demon hunters. Given the wild jumping around, the associated healers must have regularly had their eyes fall out of their heads.

You can view the complete graphic here (click to enlarge).

In the coming weeks and months, Blizzard plans to publish more statistics, especially about artifacts, world quests, and dungeons. Unfortunately, all these numbers provide little insight into how many players World of Warcraft has again – since Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard has not disclosed numbers anymore.

Battlefield 1: When does the open beta end? Date is confirmed

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the upcoming shooter Battlefield 1, the date for the end of the open beta has been set. For a long time, no concrete date was mentioned.

Since the end of August, numerous amateur soldiers have been eagerly diving into battle: the open beta phase of the highly anticipated first-person shooter Battlefield 1 is ongoing. Days and weeks before the launch, people were asking: When does this test end? How long do I have to explore every corner of the playable map?

A few hours ago, Battlefield announced the deadline on Twitter: On September 8th, this coming Thursday, the open beta will end.

You still have two days to have some fun in the Sinai Desert and to test out various weapons, classes, and elite units.

https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/772841762830376960

What happens to my progress?

Already in the beta phase, you can rank up and make progress. A user publicly asked if a carry-over would be possible. He reached rank 40, unlocked numerous weapons, and would like to be able to transfer these achievements to the main game.

battlefield1-soldaten

However, DICE has a clear answer for the dedicated beta tester: No, progress cannot be transferred to the final version. All soldiers will start over again.

Battlefield 1 takes place in a “World War I” setting, where you will fight on land, in water, and in the air. Since the extremely successful reveal trailer and the spectacular multiplayer show at E3 2016, it has been very high on the wish list of many gamers.

What do you think of the open beta so far?

Battlefield 1 will be released on October 21 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Here you can read an initial impression of the open beta of Battlefield 1 from a guest author of ours.

War Rage: Sandbox-MMO aus China bringt strategische Gefechte

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In War Rage we are a Chinese general who would like to be the Emperor of China. To achieve this, we need to conquer cities and castles, form alliances, and deploy our troops wisely. The sandbox MMO from China emphasizes strategy and tactics.

War Rage will be a competitive MMO that puts us in the role of a Chinese general with ambitions of rulership. Our general is a tough guy, knocking down opponents by the dozen, but we cannot win a war on our own. We need troops for support, and we can upgrade and improve them like equipment during our campaign. In battle, we then send the soldiers to the front or command them to perform special maneuvers.

[iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/1nYEAQmlag8″ align=”center” mode=”normal” autoplay=”no”]

This will be sorely needed, as Sun Tzu once wrote in his work “The Art of War” that a wise commander should always use the terrain and battlefield to their advantage. Therefore, in War Rage, we should also follow Sun Tzu’s wise words and lure the enemy onto suspension bridges and then cut them. Or we hide our troops in the forest and set a trap for the enemy.

War-Rage01

Later in the game, we should be able to conquer all of China, which can only be done in conjunction with other players and ever-changing alliances. Additionally, the developers at NetEase Games are already working on models for other factions, including Crusaders and Musketeers. Possibly, the entire world will become the stage for the game later.

Battlefield 1 Open Beta: Stress Test – Disruptions and Server Downs Possible

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A stress test for the servers – Additionally, initial changes for the open beta of Battlefield 1 were played on the servers today.

The developers of Battlefield 1 announced a stress test for the game today, which may negatively impact server performance. Additionally an update for Battlefield 1 was released that affects all participating platforms of the open beta. As a player, however, you do not need to download a patch for this, as the changes were made on the servers. Although there are no official patch notes yet, players are already reporting changes to the Conquest mode.

Server issues in Battlefield 1

Today, a stress test for the servers of Battlefield 1 begins. The developers are simulating extreme startup situations to prepare for the release of the game. Due to this stress test, it is possible that the servers may not operate reliably. Connection drops, disruptions, and error messages such as “failed to join server” or “lost connection” can be the result. Remember that this stress test is important for the game to ensure a smoother launch and to avoid high server downtimes.

“Battlefield 1 Beta” update

Furthermore, it was announced on Twitter that an update for the open beta of Battlefield 1 has been released today. However, the developers did not communicate the changes in patch notes. Some changes were quickly noticed. For example, players confirm that the Conquest mode no longer has a 15-minute countdown timer in its current state. The time limit is no longer present in this mode. The team that reaches 300 points first in any time now wins.

Battlefield 1 Horse

Further changes have not yet become known. While players have been wishing for a second map for days to bring some variety into the game, the developers have not given any hints in this direction yet. The fulfillment of this wish seems also unlikely. Players who ask for a map on Twitter are referred to the Battlefield 1 forums.

Armored Warfare: New map “Frontline” and additional PvE missions in the upcoming update 0.17

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time < 1 minutes

Armored Warfare receives update 0.17 with a brand new map called Frontline. However, new areas also appear in PvE and the shooting mechanics have been revamped. Lastly, there are also new tanks.

The new map “Frontline” for My.com’s armored warfare game Armored Warfare is a vast, open space without many sneaking paths. Therefore, the map should thoroughly overturn existing tank tactics in the game and promote entirely new approaches. For example, adventurous flanking attacks or sniper actions at extreme distance.

[iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/jM_NrdPlhSs” align=”center” mode=”normal” autoplay=”no”]

However, there’s also something new in the PvE mode. The map “Leviathan” takes place on a tropical island and a brand new experimental satellite named “Aurora” is to be prepared for launch. Some villains are against this, and our mercenary team is to secure the launch and neutralize the enemies. To provide a better selection in PvE as in PvP, update 0.17 also brings the new tanks VBR (a reconnaissance vehicle) and the AMX 10 RCR (a tank destroyer), both at Tier 8.

Armored-Warfare-Leviathan-Map

As further innovations, the existing map “Snakebite” will also be revised and enlarged. And finally, the mechanics for shooting on the move have been reworked. We should now be able to shoot more accurately while our vehicles are moving. For more information on the upcoming update 0.17, you can find it on the official Armored Warfare site.

WoW: Legion – Die beklemmende Questreihe der Schneider

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The profession quests of World of Warcraft: Legion are exciting. Cortyn raves about the quest line for Tailors.

Better than expected, darker than thought

For almost a week now, World of Warcraft: Legion has been available and I am slowly nearing the completion of all (non-repeatable) quests. As the final step, I have largely completed the professions and must say: Not bad, what Blizzard has delivered. Below are some spoilers regarding the story of the Tailor quest line. You have been warned.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the profession quests. And while many steps (in pretty much all professions) only involve: “Go to Dungeon X and bring us Item Y”, it is indeed the story-driven interludes that have stuck with me. As a Tailor, one quickly realizes that the fabrics of the Broken Isles are hardly usable, so one relies on the help of a local – the Nightstalker Lyndras.

WoW_Legion_Berufe_Lyndras
Lyndras helps. He explains how we can process the fabrics of the Broken Isles.

After a series of missions, we invite the Elf in decline to Dalaran. Time and again, Lyndras disappears, and we catch him succumbing to the temptations of the city, trying to gain mana from every corner. One is never really sure: Is Lyndras just playing his role to get mana? Or is he genuinely trying to help us as much as possible?

After he disappears several times without a trace, it ultimately leads to a worse incident: Lyndras succumbs to addiction, attacks residents of Dalaran, and is imprisoned in the Violet Hold as punishment. When we go to check on him, his transformation into a Withered is already complete – Lyndras is gone, only his mana-hungry shell remains. I have rarely found it so difficult to kill an NPC (except for Val’Sharah – you know who I mean).

WoW Legion Suramar Husk
Slaughter Withered to distance ourselves from them. Dark.

But that’s not the end of the quest line. To become better Tailors, the journey leads us to Suramar, where we join the Nightborne – those Elves who banished Lyndras and cut him off from the magic source of the Nightwell. The Tailors’ Guild of the “Leyweavers” accepts us, but only if we distance ourselves from Lyndras. To prove that we have no sympathy for the outcasts, we are to go out and extinguish the life lights of 25 displaced Nightstalkers. This “Kill 25 Withered” quest is just a small interlude, not very creative, but the feeling this quest evokes was suffocating. Each of the 25 “kills” felt wrong and like a betrayal to Lyndras, who had helped us for so long.

The whole quest line is overshadowed only by the last step of the quest line. The Leyweavers reveal to us, in exchange for a lot of resources and tasks, why their tailoring is so perfect. They use the “Queen’s Loom” for this – but it is actually just an ordinary loom. The true power behind it is revealed to us shortly. The loom is permanently enhanced with fel magic by demons of the Burning Legion.

WoW Schneiderei Felmagie
No wonder the loom produces “magical” results. Demons operate it.

The Leyweavers themselves have made a pact with Gul’dan – knowledge of the Legion in exchange for magical clothing which further empowers the demons. At the end of the quest line, we are nothing more than the outfitter of the Burning Legion, whom we have supplied with a lot of resources, and we wonder which side we are actually working for.

The entire quest line was so dark that I will remember it for a long time. For a mission that deals with something as trivial as a profession, I can’t help but praise it. Please more of that.
