The Division: DeadEYE in PvP – A powerful set in the Dark Zone

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, we take a closer look at the DeadEYE gear set. How good is the set in the Dark Zone?

A few weeks ago, we examined the DeadEYE set and came to the conclusion: It is probably the worst set – at least in PvE. You can read here the reasons why DeadEYE cannot convince at all in PvE.

A few days later, the PvP was revised: The weapon damage was increased, so that agents now deal 20% more damage to each other. According to the YouTuber Skill Up, this change caused DeadEYE to become the best set in PvP.

Useless in PvE, a Beast in PvP

The YouTuber noted in recent weeks that agents with shotguns dominate the Dark Zone. With 1-2 shots, other players can be eliminated. Currently, only the DeadEYE set can withstand this overpower. But what makes DeadEYE, specifically the talent of the set, so strong?

In The Division, there are four types of weapon damage, which will be displayed to you in different colors:

  • White numbers: Normal body shots
  • Red numbers: Headshot hits
  • Orange numbers: Critical body shots
  • Orange numbers: Critical headshot hits. These are also indicated in orange.

With the DeadEYE talent, all bonuses for headshot hits are removed for precision rifles, but every shot will be a critical hit (at least when you are not looking through the scope). Every damage will be displayed to you in orange.

division-kugel-sniper

You can increase critical hit damage by up to 320%, and the special thing is: To deal this massive damage, you don’t have to aim carefully at the head, but have the entire body as a target area. You can even spray fire with the sniper at close enemies from the hip and still deal extremely high damage. This is particularly useful in PvP, as other players rarely allow themselves to be shot at without moving.

But how much damage do you deal with the set in the Dark Zone with the 20% additional weapon damage? Assuming the opponents have around 400-500k toughness – which can currently be considered standard – you need about 4 body shots with an M1A to take them down. The optimal range of a sniper is significantly higher than that of a shotgun, giving you a significant advantage here.

However, you also need an impulse provider and a corresponding build to boost your critical hit damage. In the embedded video above, you can take a detailed look at Skill Up’s build.

division-skill-up

In short: It increases the critical hit damage for nearly all items. Besides DeadEYE, he relies on two pieces of the B.L.I.N.D. sets, which grant him +20% critical hit damage through the impulse provider. In addition, he builds on 400k toughness himself, as he would otherwise go down too quickly in PvP.

Especially in combination with explosive rounds, Skill Up sees this set as too strong, as it requires little skill to deal extremely high damage. With this gear setup, it becomes too easy for agents to deal huge amounts of damage.

Have you tested this set in the Dark Zone? What do you think about it?

In this article, we present the DeadEYE set in The Division in detail.

Apart from the Demon Hunters, players can now experience the introductory scenario and travel to the Broken Shore to the Tomb of Sargeras to witness the arrival of the Legion up close.

Furthermore, the Legion also began its attacks on the game world this morning and is landing in several zones to conquer Azeroth in the name of demons. Those who participate in the defense will be rewarded with special weapon skins, toys, and pets. Part of this event is also that players are whispered to in the capitals by demons who promise them special powers. Will you heed the whispers and reach for the corrupted power to destroy your friends as a raid boss?

WoW Legion PreEvent Eredar Forsaken City

The event will intensify in the coming weeks until “Legion” actually launches on August 30, and players can flood to the Broken Isles.

No Man’s Sky: Atlas Pass and Atlas Stone – Here’s how to find them

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In No Man’s Sky, we will take a closer look at the items “Atlas Pass” and “Atlas Stone”.

No Man’s Sky offers you a gigantic universe in which you can move freely. When you see a foreign planet, you simply fly towards it. If you find a cave, you can just go inside. There are no limits for you. Or are there?

There are also places where you cannot just stroll in. In fact, there are many locked doors and sealed containers. If you want to open these, you will receive a message that an Atlas Pass of a certain version is required. For example, there is the “Atlas Pass v1”. What is it all about?

NoMansSky_Monolith

The Atlas Passes are universal keys that are easy to craft as long as you have the blueprints for them. However, obtaining an Atlas Pass blueprint requires time and effort.

Atlas Leads You to the Atlas Passes

no-mans-sky-wallpaper

In No Man’s Sky, there is an “Atlas”, an entity that helps to hold together all parts of the universe. This “Atlas” is represented as a diamond and is the symbol of No Man’s Sky:

After you have mastered a few missions in the game, you will be tasked to investigate a specific monolith. This will show you a waypoint to Atlas, so you can directly warp to an Atlas Base.

atlas-stein

Now you just need to have enough Warp Cells and embark on the journey there. Once you arrive, you will be rewarded with an Atlas Pass. Even at later points, Atlas will send you to various artifacts where you can obtain the passes.

What is the deal with Atlas Stones?

Inside an Atlas Station, you will also receive an Atlas Stone. These stones are valuable items that you can exchange for a lot of Units (around 75k). How to quickly get money, you can read here.

There are also increasing reports that you should keep 10 Atlas Stones. These are said to be important for the end of the game.

By the way: The closer you get to the center of the universe, the better passes you will receive. With a higher-ranked Atlas Pass, you can open more secure doors and containers.

A user reports that he found an Atlas Pass v1 in a space anomaly while exploring a new solar system:

Gaming makes you smart, social media makes you stupid – claims a study

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Those who game daily are better at math and those who use Facebook cannot calculate well. What is true about this new study?

Games enhance student performance

It’s an eternal back and forth. Video games make you stupid. No! Yes! Oh!

A new study by RMIT University in Melbourne has once again addressed this prejudice and analyzed the online behavior and PISA results of more than 12,000 Australian adolescents aged 15.

The result may surprise some people. Because those who play online games daily scored on average 15 points more in the math tasks of the PISA study than classmates who refrain from such games. In the scientific area, the difference was even 17 points. Gamers were also clearly better in reading.

WoW Paragon Lichking
Daily gaming enhances math performance – is there any truth to it?

Social media users are worse at math

It looks significantly worse for all users of social networks. Those who write messages on Facebook daily have on average 20 points less in the mathematical area than classmates who keep away from social media.

Social Media Eye

However – and this must be made clear – these correlations are not monocausal according to the researchers. So it cannot always be definitively stated what causes and effects are. For example, someone who spends the whole day posting various videos or chatting with friends on WhatsApp may neglect their school obligations. On the other hand, it is “also possible that the weaker students maintain social contacts with others more strongly” and therefore increasingly resort to social media.

Ultimately, internet consumption is only one of many influencing factors that affect a child and contribute to success and failure. More strongly influencing the grade point average is (who would have guessed?) skipping classes or having a migration background.

Mein-MMO says: At least for MMOs, it is still relatively easy to understand why heavy players perform better in math. Anyone who has listened to two professionals discussing “theorycrafting” could very well think they landed in math class. Memorizing, such as boss fights and their abilities, trains the brain and certainly contributes to improving the memorization of content.

No Man’s Sky: What can you actually do?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

No Man’s Sky is just around the corner. Many are already rubbing their hands in anticipation, but what can you actually do in the game?

No Man’s Sky is a sandbox. This means: Do what you feel like. At the beginning, the game is still somewhat linear as you first need to repair your ship and escape from the first planet. Additionally, you need a hyperdrive to explore other locations in the galaxy. But basically, it’s up to you how you proceed and where you want to travel.

no-mans-sky
Resources and Crafting

In the beginning, you set out to explore the surroundings of the foreign planet and mine resources with your multi-tool. You will do this quite often in the game, as you explore multiple star systems and constantly need resources, for example, to repair your spaceship or to craft fuel. Furthermore, rare and valuable resources earn you a lot of money and help you perform upgrades. Exploring planets and mining resources is, therefore, an element that will accompany you throughout the game.

Crafting continues to play an important role. As you mine resources, they are added to your inventory. Crafting takes place in the inventory. You select a space where it shows you what you can craft and which resources you need for it. Once you have everything together, you craft the item, such as a warp cell, and it appears in your inventory. Some of the crafting recipes you already know from the beginning, while others you have to find first.

Space Flights and Combat

No Mans Sky COmbat

On the planets, you can also fight, although this is not always advisable – especially not at the beginning. When you mine resources, Sentinels will appear. The flying robots will scan you. If you attack them, they will call for reinforcements and you will become embroiled in battles. This also happens when you attack animals to obtain rare resources. The combat occurs like in a shooter. Depending on how effective your weapon is, you deal more or less damage.

Once you get into your ship, you can explore space and fly to other planets. With your ship’s lasers, you also mine resources in space by firing the weapons at asteroids. However, there can also be battles with NPC ships. So, you should constantly improve your weapon systems and the armor of your ship through crafting.

Trade and Scanning

At space stations, it is possible to land and trade at the marketplace or with docked ships. For example, you sell valuable resources that you do not necessarily need and buy other important items that you might not be able to craft yourself at the moment. Not all ships and stations trade the same items, just as there are not all resources on every planet.

no-mans-sky

Scanning is always important. Because this way, you find out what resources are available in a solar system or on a planet. When you land on an unknown world, you can even give animals their own names when you scan them.

There is a lot to do in the online game No Man’s Sky. These are just the basic things that should make it easier for you to get started on PlayStation 4 starting August 10 and on PC starting August 12.

Hearthstone Karazhan: Why is the new Priest card “Purify” so bad?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new Hearthstone card “Purify” for priest is hated by the community. Ben Brode comments on this.

Purify – the worst card ever?

Although there are plenty of standout cards in the new “One Night in Karazhan” expansion, one card particularly displeases players. We are talking about “Purify” for the priest. It is generally considered the worst card of the expansion, likely to flourish neither in the arena nor in normal play.

HS_ONiK_Pri_3

Purify is a new spell for priests that costs 2 mana. The spell silences a friendly minion and allows the priest to draw a card.

The issues with this card are quite obvious. It costs 2 mana and is even less versatile than “Silence,” which is already included in the priest’s basic set. So for 2 mana, you sacrifice the ability to silence an enemy minion and receive in return the option to draw a card – a pretty bad deal, almost all players think.

Ben Brode has now commented on this issue and released a new “Designer Insights” video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7nlHXPLqU

Basically, Brode agrees with the accusations and even admits that the developers made a mistake. However, he sees some possibilities for how priests can emerge stronger from the expansion. If that does not succeed, adjustments will be made in future expansions. The developers know that priests are currently at the lower end of the meta, both in the arena and in general, but they did not want to further enhance the “Silence” mechanic after it was just recently made more expensive.

Hearthstone ONiK Dancers

In general, it should be noted that not every card in Hearthstone should be “powerful,” but many serve a pure fun factor. How exactly that is supposed to be possible with “Purify” remains to be seen.

Perhaps all these worries are unfounded, and in two months we will all shake our heads wondering how we could underestimate this card – so far, it does not seem so.

Destiny: Alle Infos zum Konto-Import auf PS4, PS3, Xbox One und Xbox 360

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

At Destiny we summarize all the information you need to know about account import on August 16. This affects all platforms: PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.

In one week it will happen: Starting August 16, 2016, the account import can be performed in Destiny. Future Destiny updates and content will only be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from then on.

The last-gen consoles, PS3 and Xbox 360, will be considered “old consoles” from this date on, which will only receive minor updates in case of major issues. Thus, “The Rise of Iron” will also run exclusively on the current-gen consoles.

destiny-hüter-rise

For this reason, all Destiny accounts need to perform a one-time account import when they first log in to PS4 or Xbox One after this date.

Everyone must perform an account import on PS4 and Xbox One

Through the account import, all your data, including character data, progress, gear, and inventory, purchased Silver and Eververse licenses will be transferred from the old console to the current console – within the same console family.

destiny-16-august

Any progress made on the old console after this import will not be transferable. After the import, progress will proceed on parallel paths. The following image illustrates this:

Note: All existing accounts must perform the one-time account import. Even if you have only played on PS4 or Xbox One until now, you must accept the import dialog when you log in for the first time after August 16. After performing the import, you can continue playing as usual.

destiny-daumen-hoch

Important: The transfer of data is only possible for consoles within the same console family. You can only transfer data from PS3 to PS4 and from Xbox 360 to Xbox One.

Performing the import in Destiny

As soon as the import can be performed starting August 16, you will see an “Account Import” dialog when you log in for the first time on PS4 or Xbox One.

  • You accept the dialog and the account import begins.
  • You must accept the dialog, otherwise you cannot play Destiny on PS4 or Xbox One.
Destiny-Pläne-980x500

Attention: The import cannot be repeated. It is a one-time process. If you are not ready for the import yet, you can also close the dialog. You will then return to the title screen.

More information about the account import:

  • Currently, there is no deadline for how long you can postpone the account import. However, it does not have to be done directly on August 16.
  • It is not required to purchase “The Taken King” or “The Rise of Iron” for the account import. More information can be found on the official Bungie page.

Here you can find out which content PS3 and “Xbox 360” guardians can still play from August 16 – and which they cannot.

1. Repair Your Ship

You begin your journey on an alien planet – with each of you “waking up” on a different planet. You will see a destroyed ship that is right next to you. Your first task will be to get this ship running so you can visit other planets.

For this, you need to gather resources – you already have your multi-tool for that – craft technologies and combine various elements. This way you create the items you need to repair the ship.

2. Make Sure You Can Survive

no-mans-sky-raumschiffe

Many planets are inhabited by hostile creatures. If you just wander around, you will quickly bite the dust – or whatever vegetation you find on the planet. Additionally, some climate conditions are extremely hostile to life. Therefore, enhance your suit with resources. It may also be that you start on such a planet. Then your life will be “a bit harder”.

3. Upload Your Experiences

According to Murray, players should not forget to upload their experiences on their first planet. One is so focused on repairing the ship and finally being able to explore space that one might forget the upload.

Here he adds that in the beginning there is no rush. You can leisurely explore the first planet. You still have enough time to travel the universe.

4. Visit Other Planets

no-mans-sky

During the beginning, you are not yet able to make interstellar journeys. You still lack the technologies for that. You first need a “hyperdrive” engine to overcome extreme distances. Therefore, you want to visit other planets and space stations to find what you’re looking for. By the way, you also need fuel for the “hyperdrive” technology, which you have to craft.

5. Explore the Entire Universe

Murray’s last tip is simply this: as soon as you can travel long distances, do so. He has seen people stay over 10 hours in the first solar system. Be brave and venture far out.

When does your journey in No Man’s Sky begin? Are you getting the game?

For Honor: Alle PvP-Modi sind auch gegen Bots spielbar

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

The melee game For Honor will offer extensive content even for multiplayer skeptics.

For Honor is one of the most anticipated games expected at the beginning of next year. With stunning E3 trailers and fresh gameplay, the Ubisoft game received strong reviews across the board.

For Honor Guardian

For Honor places a great focus on the online aspect. There will be several PvP modes in which you will compete against each other and bash each other in brutal sword fights.

For single player fans, there is a single-player campaign of For Honor. You can see footage of a story mission of the Vikings here. But for fighters who have no interest in nice online battles, there is still more to do.

Because according to Ubisoft employee Ubi_SpaceElephant, all PvP modes can also be played against bots. He announced this via reddit. This way, you can also practice the modes before you venture into multiplayer combat.

For Honor will be released on February 14, 2017 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Overwatch: Blizzard geht gegen Bugnutzer im Lúcioball vor

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A bug in Lúcioball of Overwatch causes frustration among players. Blizzard now threatens all those who exploit this error with account penalties.

Lúcioball – only without Lúcio

Currently, the first seasonal event is taking place in Overwatch, the Summer Games 2016. These not only brought exclusive skins, emotes, and other cosmetic frills, but also the temporary game mode “Lúcioball”. Here, players can duel in a specially created arena in 3v3 matches – but not with weapons, rather with an oversized soccer ball. As the name of the game mode suggests, only Lúcios face off against each other, whose abilities have been altered so that they can push the ball (and players) across the field.

Overwatch Lucioball Gameplay

However, there is also a bug in this mode that occasionally assigns some players a different character. For example, it has happened that suddenly Bastion or Widowmaker were on the field and simply shot down the opposing Lúcios.

Shortly after the bug became known, some players tried to find the cause of this error – and were successful. Thus, it is specifically possible to play Lúcioball with a character other than Lúcio, which mercilessly ruins the fun for the other 5 teammates.

Blizzard has no understanding for exploiting this bug, and Jeff Kaplan has already commented in the forum:

“We apologize for this error. We have tried to fix it several times, but some issues make this difficult. We hope to have a fix for it this week.

In the meantime, we are working with our support team to take action against those who knowingly and repeatedly exploit this bug to play as other heroes than Lúcio.

Please do not exploit this bug. This is a fair warning.”

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan Game Director

So it is probably only a matter of time before Blizzard imposes the first account penalties. So stay clean out there and play Lúcioball as it was intended by the developers.

No Man’s Sky: Resource Guide – How to collect Heridium, Zinc and Co.

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The highly anticipated online game No Man’s Sky is starting and you will finally be able to explore a vast universe. One of the first questions will be: How do I get resources like Heredium or Zinc?

In the game, gathering resources is also on the agenda. Without mining them, you won’t get very far in the game. If you find an object, like a rock or a tree, you can extract a resource like iron or carbon from it. Resources, in turn, are divided into chemical elements that serve different purposes. Isotopes, for example, are needed for fuel, silicates for crafting upgrades.

no-mans-sky-menu

How to get resources

You start in No Man’s Sky with just a few resources, but there are plenty of resources on the starting planet. You should definitely mine these! To do this, you go on an exploration tour and look around in the landscape. If you discover something that is blinking, it should catch your attention, as it is usually a resource that you can mine with the multi-tool you carry. To do this, aim and fire the tool at the object. Depending on its size, it may take a little time to get the resources from it.

If you find a rock, for example, you mine iron and also receive oxides. You need these for constructing and loading defense technologies. In other words, you will then make plates from the iron to armor your spaceship.

Many worlds, many resources

Mined resources go directly into your inventory. Crafting also takes place in the inventory. On an empty slot, you can create the object displayed there – provided you have the necessary resources in the required amount. If your ship needs four armor plates, they will occupy four slots in the inventory. You then click on “Create product” there, select the plate, and if you have collected the necessary resources, it will be produced.

no-mans-sky-planet-kampf

Diverse objects yield you different resources. Sometimes you only have to stand next to a plant and simply choose “collect” to receive the resources “within it”; sometimes you have to fire your multi-tool at a monolith for a long time to obtain very rare resources. Not every resource is present on every planet. Therefore, you explore space to discover worlds where you can find new and rare resources. Some substances like Emeril you trade at space stations for money, others like Heredium you need to operate your ship’s pulse drive.

Be sure to collect 25 carbon (from organic objects like plants) and 20 iron (from ore) right at the beginning. This way, you can activate your scanner and analysis visor, which makes it easier for you to recognize objects. This should make collecting resources easier.

How to quickly get Iridium

YouTuber Spartan Sarge reveals a farming method for quickly obtaining the resource Iridium. For this, you go into the depths of space and look out for larger asteroids. You destroy these with your spaceship’s weapon and watch as the Iridium gushes into your inventory.

No Man’s Sky: What is the dynamic resonator all about?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

What is the Dynamic Resonator from the online game No Man’s Sky and why is it so important?

No Man’s Sky is a game that offers you a lot of freedom and doesn’t guide you too much. You should discover as much as possible on your own, which can lead to situations where you might not know exactly what to do.

The game starts on a planet, and you first need to repair your spaceship to be able to leave this world. Once you’ve accomplished this, you will likely want to explore not just the star system you’re in but see as much of the universe as possible. This, in turn, requires a Hyperdrive, which you must build first. For that, you need a Dynamic Resonator. Without this device, your ship will never be able to travel to other parts of the galaxy.

Quickly get your Dynamic Resonator!

To get a Dynamic Resonator, you should visit a space station as soon as possible after starting from the first planet. There you can trade with NPCs who have a Dynamic Resonator for sale. You will find the device at the marketplace on the station. Of course, you should have enough money to buy it. You can get money by selling valuable resources. Be careful: It’s possible to buy a Dynamic Resonator and then lose it! Because the device is installed in your ship, and if you sell that ship, the Dynamic Resonator will be gone too. Then it might be difficult to find a new one.

no-mans-sky

You can receive new Dynamic Resonators from NPC spaceships that are currently docked at stations. Because then these ships are ready for trading, and one of them might carry a Dynamic Resonator. Once you’ve built your Hyperdrive, there will be nothing stopping you from long travels in space – provided you always pay attention to your fuel!

According to Bioware, the MMO market is larger than ever – thanks to Destiny, The Division, and more.

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Looking at the MMO market, one might get the impression that it is currently in a bit of a crisis. But Bioware sees it quite differently.

Are MMOs in crisis? Blizzard currently does not plan to develop any new games in the genre and canceled the World of Warcraft “successor” Titan about two years ago, Daybreak halted development on Everquest Next, and no major AAA MMORPGs have been presented at any gaming expo in recent times. However, according to Bioware, the studio behind Star Wars: The Old Republic, the MMO market is currently larger than ever before.

MMOs have evolved

In an interview with MCV, Bioware’s James Ohlen stated that the success of Activision’s Destiny and Ubisoft’s The Division shows that the genre is still expanding. People today have lost the understanding of what the genre can encompass. James Ohlen explains that many believe that an MMO is a hardcore game. However, two of the strongest brands now also belong to the genre – Destiny and The Division. Both are MMOs that are only referred to as such.

division-agent-rennen

Those who play MMOs would also recognize this. The genre has expanded significantly and has even spilled over to mobile games. He is likely referring to the success of Pokémon GO, which many label as an MMO and which also shows strong parallels to other games in the genre. MMOs are no longer what they used to be, those hardcore online RPGs; the genre has changed and evolved. Star Wars: The Old Republic is indeed a classic MMO, but one can distinguish it from competitors due to the fact that it is a Star Wars game and the focus on storytelling.

Do you see it the same way as James Ohlen? Are MMOs no longer what they once were, and has the genre evolved?
