Destiny: These are the PlayStation-exclusive contents of “Rise of Iron” [Update]

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, a graphic has been spreading on the internet for the MMO shooter Destiny, which supposedly shows the exclusive content for PS4.

Update 16.8.: In short: An exclusive quest, a PvP map, and a new ship are coming as PlayStation-exclusive content.

  • Quest: The questline is called “Show of Strength”. If you successfully complete it, you will receive the new ship named “Timeless Tereshkova”.
  • PvP Map: The new map is called Icarus and is set on Mercury. The map is medium-sized and designed for all 6v6 modes. There will be both long sightlines and areas for close combat. In the center of the map, there is a main chamber with doors that close.

Original Announcement:

With the expansions in Destiny, Guardians on PlayStation receive time-exclusive content that they can play before Xbox Guardians. This mainly includes weapons, armor pieces, or even entire strikes. For example, the last update in April introduced the nice sniper rifle Zen Meteor, which Xbox users still have to wait for.

The fall expansion “The Rise of Iron” will bring PlayStation-exclusive content. This has already been confirmed. Since “Rise of Iron” will only run on Current-Gen, one can speak directly of PS4-exclusive content. What this content entails has not yet been officially disclosed. However, a screenshot has now surfaced, which is supposed to show the content.

PvP Map and Stylish Ship Only on PS4 This Fall?

The source of the following graphic is the Twitter account of XxHaVoC83xX. The user allegedly received an email from Bungie listing these contents:

destiny-ps4-exklusiv

According to this screenshot, PS4 Guardians receive exclusively:

  • A PvP multiplayer map
  • A questline with rewards

Additionally, a sleek ship is visible, which may represent the reward of this questline.

The time exclusivity lasts at least until fall 2017, as can be inferred from the fine print.

At this point, a clear note: This information is not official and should therefore not be taken at face value. Bungie has not yet commented on this.

destiny-bild

Update: Screenshots from our community have reached us from the PlayStation Store. Apparently, these contents are indeed the PS4-exclusive content:

Platform-exclusive content is always a contentious issue in the community. While those affected rejoice over the benefits, others feel disadvantaged – after all, they pay the same amount. However, Destiny is not an isolated case. Marketing deals with hardware manufacturers are common in the gaming scene. For example, The Division favors Xbox and PC agents with time-exclusive expansions.

What do you think about these possible PlayStation-exclusive contents with “The Rise of Iron”?

In this article, we present the triumphs for year two of Destiny.

Pokémon GO: Beware of Fake Facebook Pages

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Beware of scammers exploiting the “Pokémon GO”- hype.

Pokémon GO is spreading rapidly around the world, sending more and more aspiring trainers on new adventures. Unfortunately, all this excitement comes with its downsides. Especially on Facebook, there are increasingly more fraudulent pages posing as the official “Pokémon GO” page and starting contests or similar. Some enthusiastic Pokémon trainers fall for these scams.

“Official” doesn’t always mean “official”

Pokémon GO

In the past, there have often been contests on Facebook that made one shake their head when their Facebook friends shared them. There was an Audi official page that gave away a brand new car to 3 users – however, the condition was that you had to like the page, share the post, and write your favorite color in the comments. The final prize was, by the way, a picture of a poster of the displayed car.

Even Pokémon GO is not spared from these scammers. Pages like “Pokémon GO Germany Official” or “Pokémon Go – Plus” advertise fake contests that are unfortunately eagerly shared by various Facebook users. At the moment, there isn’t even a trading function in Pokémon GO, which would make it possible to receive a Pokémon as a gift.

Pokémon GO

Some pages that already had several thousands of likes have been disabled by Facebook. Also warn your friends not to just like and share every random Facebook contest. Official pages often have a blue checkmark next to the name, which confirms the authenticity of the page. Don’t fall for it.

Tips and tricks for Pokémon GO can be found in our guide collection.

Riders of Icarus: Update – Pesthauch des eisigen Bergfriedes kommt schon nächste Woche!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Riders of Icarus, the MMO with many mounts, is currently in the open beta, and already next week, a larger update is coming that raises the level cap and brings new areas, mounts, and challenges.

The open beta for the online role-playing game Riders of Icarus has only been available for a few weeks, and the first update along with an expansion is already here. In “Breath of the Icy Keep,” the world of Riders of Icarus will become significantly larger but also more dangerous. Our heroes can now directly reach the icy shores of “Parna’s Coast,” where the icy keep, the citadel of the archvillain Rondo, is located. Furthermore, we can dive into dark caves, of which the worst is the “Cavern of the Veil.”

[iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKYCa0CkhtQ” align=”center” mode=”normal” autoplay=”no”]

To ensure our heroes can face these new dangers optimally, the level cap of Riders of Icarus will also be raised with the update. From then on, we can reach level 35, and the new areas are all designed for this level. Furthermore, we can expect new creatures in the new lands. After all, Riders of Icarus wouldn’t be Riders of Icarus if there weren’t plenty of creatures to tame and ride. Particularly sought after in the new regions are the Karas, Casperts, and Terror Keravs. Additionally, the developers have created an overview video for the update, which we have embedded here for you.

Related to the topic: Riders of Icarus – Preview report from the open beta

How have you found the beta of Riders of Icarus so far? Is the game still enjoyable for you and is the upcoming update bringing you great joy, or has the air already run out of the Asia MMORPG, with new areas and mounts changing nothing? Let us know and write it in the comments!

Overwatch: New hints about the next hero – Is it Sombra?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard releases a new teaser for the Overwatch heroine Sombra. Quite hidden, but no chance against the sheer power of the internet.

Sombra likes to play games

In the latest developer update of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan elaborates on the advantages of the latest patch, introduces Ana, and explains again what the reasoning was behind the limitation of heroes in competitive play. At the end of the 12-minute video, there is a brief flash of just under a second. At first glance, one might think that it is just a visual glitch, but far from it: The developers have implemented new hints.

Overwatch QRcode Sombra

In just 4 hours, “the internet” researched what this “visual glitch” was about and took some pretty amazing paths. This visual glitch was a barcode. It was scanned and the numbers were then converted into binary code. The binary code was then represented in pixels, which could in turn be converted into a QR code. When this QR code was scanned, you received the following message (translated from Spanish):

“Was that easy? Now that I have your attention, let’s make things a little more difficult.”

Mein-MMO says: Since Sombra is a “shadow”, it is pretty cool to announce this character in such a way and to drop initial hints. Blizzard can definitely be sure that the community will now scrutinize every further content with eagle eyes to bring more details to light. It remains to be seen whether the developers will have some fun with this and mislead fans a few times – we would do that.

The Division: Server down am 21.7. – Vier Bugs werden gefixt

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on July 21st, there will be maintenance for The Division . The servers are offline.

This morning, the weekly maintenance will take place. Massive is making some adjustments to the servers and fixing four bugs that have crept in with update 1.3 and the Underground expansion.

On PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the servers will be taken down at 9 AM. The downtime will last three hours. Around 12 PM, the developers will hit the button, and the server status will be back online.

division-untergrund-outfit

This week seems to be the first in a long time where there is only one maintenance. Recently, the developers have rolled out bug fixes and patches more frequently, so a server downtime once a week was not sufficient. Today, problems will also be addressed.

Changes on July 21st.

The changelog mentions four changes that will be implemented today:

  • In crates in the highest Dark Zone class, you will no longer find Division Tech of blue quality.
  • The AlphaBridge gloves will be revised again so they do not show duplicate values when recalibrated. We have already addressed this AlphaBridge issue here.
  • During the “Tatiana Atkins Missing Persons” mission, you will no longer be teleported back to the safehouse.
  • Additionally, a bug will be fixed that caused players to be teleported back to the safehouse during the “Aaron Keener Missing Agent” mission.

During today’s maintenance, you can take a look at our The Division guide collection. There you will find unique builds and numerous weapon reviews.

Pokémon GO: Paid from August? Report puts fans in a panic

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, fans are excited: Will Pokémon Go really become a paid service starting in August?

We received three messages from excited fans within an hour. Apparently, there is currently a rumor circulating that Pokémon GO will soon cost €12.99 per month. Developer Niantic is thrilled that their game is doing so well, but the current free-to-play phase is only temporary. This is just the trial month. Soon, they will switch to a subscription model..

Whether we at Mein MMO have heard something about this, people are asking visibly frightened and wounded, why they only know about this shocking news from Facebook and not from sites like ours.

As the origin of the news, we were able to identify an article from the well-known German satire site “Der Postillion”: So there is nothing to this news; rather, it is meant to be funny and provoke thought through exaggeration. For example, about the issues of blindly signing terms and conditions that no one reads.

pokemon-go-pokeball

Money is supposedly needed to pay motorcycle riders to release Pokémon

For some experienced internet users, the report is likely to be immediately recognizable as satire. At the latest when it is mentioned that Niantic needs money to pay “Pokémon distributors” who ride around on motorcycles releasing Pokémon.

But some of the younger Pokémon fans are probably not so familiar with the concept of satire, and when the information comes second-hand and looks seemingly official, especially when it is greatly abbreviated, confusion arises. We hope to clarify this with this article, although addressing satire often feels like spoiling jokes.

Even some gaming magazines sometimes fall for a clever satire, as the news, where a man sues NCSoft because his relationship with a virtual cat ruined his life, made medium waves.

Destiny: Winter Is Coming – and a Gjallarhorn Sparrow! Information from the stream on July 20.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, the livestream for the “Cosmodrome Winter Tour” was held on Destiny. We summarize the most exciting information.

The stream started with a bang. Bungie released a short trailer for an item that many guardians will desire: The “Iron Gjallarwing Sparrow.” You can watch the trailer directly here:

https://youtu.be/g9NbaNuAA0I

This stylish vehicle is a Sparrow based on the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn. You will receive it together with the Iron Gjallarhorn, if you pre-order “The Rise of Iron.”

iron-sparrow

Note: The pre-order bonuses apply to PS4 and Xbox One. When asked when Xbox players could pre-order the expansion, Community Manager Deej replied: Soon. A specific date was not mentioned.

destiny-sparrow-elegant

Next, early concepts of this Gjallarhorn Sparrow were presented in the stream, where early designs looked more like a rocket launcher than a Sparrow. Before the vehicle was finalized, several ideas were created and discarded. Now it looks like this:

New Gear and Environment with Rise of Iron

destiny-neues-gear

Subsequently, the developers presented gameplay footage in the revamped Cosmodrome. But first, everyone showcased their gear that they were wearing:

In Rise of Iron, winter descends upon the Cosmodrome. Destiny aims to depict a dynamic world that changes over time. This is now happening with Old Russia in the fall expansion.

destiny-zerschnitten

Everywhere there is snow, and the scenery is marked by the work of the Devil Splicers. These are not only in the Plagued Lands, but have also penetrated the known Cosmodrome. The Splicers have cut many metallic objects and even melted some completely.

The Devil Splicers themselves resemble the Fallen closely, as we are used to. They appear somewhat darker and shoot, as seen in the gameplay, with red ammunition. They can be taken down with firepower. The Splicer Outcasts, Vandals, and Shanks do not require any fancy strategy to be defeated. Just keep shooting.

However, SIVA is supposed to grant them special abilities and tricks that we will discover later. The Splicer Servitors can, for example, unleash many attacks in quick succession. By the way: All enemies that the developers encountered in the Cosmodrome were at level 42. It was repeatedly emphasized that everything is still in the development phase and could change by release. Briefly, the Light Level 355 of the guardians was also visible.

destiny-siva-rot
SIVA

The SIVA outbreak manifests itself in the form of red “roots” spreading everywhere in the Cosmodrome and the Plagued Lands. SIVA is an old technology, a self-replicating machine, which will pose a threat in “The Rise of Iron.” In design, it is intended to appear both organic and mechanical. In addition to the red “roots,” small black, pyramid-shaped objects on and beside the roots are characteristic of SIVA.

destiny-neue-waffe
This weapon was briefly visible when Deej died and the perspective shifted to another developer.
destiny-bei-sepiks

The developers traversed several locations in the Cosmodrome, just before Sepiks Prime. They showed how the environment will change. Here is the object that the Ghost is allowed to scan in the “Sepiks Prime” strike:

destiny-siva-

How the SIVA outbreak has shaped the Plagued Lands can be seen in this concept:

That was all the information from today’s stream. The next livestream will take place during Gamescom in mid-August. Bungie is traveling to Germany to present the new features in the Crucible. We are excited!

CoD Infinite Warfare: Ein Blick auf die Waffen und Fahrzeuge

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

From the fleet hub to the fighters and weapons in Infinite Warfare – Everything in the video!

During a live event by Infinity Ward on Facebook, the two main responsible persons were interviewed about vehicles and weapons. Dan Savage and Sean Byers talked about the various aspects of vehicles and weapons in the game and how they were adapted to the new setting in space.

The Vehicles in Infinite Warfare

At the beginning of the interview, they talk about the Retribution, the largest ship of the SATO fleet. On the Retribution, you as a commander have the option to select the various missions of the game from the bridge. The ship serves as a central hub from which you can jump into the various adventures without a loading screen.

Cod infinite Facebook

The Jackal is a type of jet that is well-suited for aerial combat. When designing the Jackal, care was taken to maintain the desired “NASA meets Navy” theme. With this vehicle, you can maneuver quickly and safely, as it controls similarly to a ground vehicle.

The last vehicle of the SATO fleet is called Raven. With this “ship,” you can transport crew personnel, soldiers, or ground vehicles to various locations.

Settlement Defense Front – abbreviated SDF – is the opponent in this game, which, however, cannot keep up with the SATO fleet in terms of technology. Because they are lagging behind in the fighter jets, the counterpart to the Retribution, Olympus Mons, is huge and makes the SATO hub look small. In general, the vehicles of the SATO fleet are supposed to look sleeker and more polished than those of the SDF.

The Weapons in Infinite Warfare

Regarding the weapons, Sean Byers states that as a “Call of Duty” player, there is no need to worry about getting used to a new design because the “Call of Duty” look as you envision it has been implemented in this game as well. The challenge with the weapons was to make them feel “real” in this futuristic background. This included not only the choice of materials but also the overall appearance of the weapons.

In the video, you can see the various aircraft as well as the weapons in action. It’s definitely worth watching the entire video to get an impression of the new Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Dota 2 – Red Bull Heroicks – Second Qualifier for eSport Event offers a chance for rookies

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The Dota 2 tournament “Red Bull Heroicks” starts this Saturday with the second qualifier. Here, both professionals and pure rookie beginner teams can qualify.

The Red Bull Heroicks is a large German Dota 2 esports tournament where real pro teams as well as various rookie teams can compete, thus receiving a chance to measure themselves against the best. In total, there are four so-called “qualifiers” where rookie teams can also earn a spot in the big tournament. This Saturday, on July 23, the second such round will take place, hosted by our sister site GameStar!

So, anyone wishing to participate with their team can still register for the tournament on JoinDOTA until July 23 at 2 PM. There are a total of 512 free spots for aspiring teams. Each team must consist of at least 50 percent players from the German-speaking area, namely Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Additionally, players can also name a substitute player in case they themselves cannot participate at short notice. However, this player must not be registered with another team.

Dota Event Live
“The International” is one notch bigger, but the Red Bull Heroicks are also not to be underestimated.

The final tournament of the Red Bull Heroicks will take place on September 16 in Rastatt near Karlsruhe. There, in addition to the teams participating via the qualifiers, pro teams such as Team OG and Alliance will also be present. You can find all further info about the Red Bull Heroicks tournament (GameStar.de) under the provided link.

What do you think about the Red Bull Heroicks and the qualification rounds? Will you participate or do you lack a suitable team? Or do you think it doesn’t make much sense for a beginner team to compete against real professionals, as these rookies will eat them for breakfast anyway? Let us know your opinion and write it in the comments!

Skyforge: Update führt neuen PvP-Wettkampf-Modus ein

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Skyforge is being expanded with a new PvP competition mode, “Battle of Equals”. The update is being implemented today.

The new mode is aimed at both beginners and veterans. You take on a pre-made hero with a set prestige value in the tournaments and fight against equal opponents. The battles are held in a 3×3 mode, and the traditional guidelines for small battles in arenas apply. You have two weeks to achieve the highest score during the qualification phase. After you have completed ten qualification matches, the actual battle awaits you. You will face enemies with a similar rating as yourself.

New PvP battles and many more changes

The 16 teams with the highest overall score can participate in the finals. Fights will be for promotion to a higher league, with each league offering different rewards. 500 for Silver, 1,000 for Gold, 2,500 for Ruby, and 5,000 for Diamond League. The update also brings several other changes.

skyforge antea 2

These include the new region Antea Wasteland. Although the area has been spared from invasions, it is one of the deadliest areas in the game world. Not only the weather, but also the dangerous monsters make life difficult for you. You can expect plenty of missions in the Antea Wasteland. Expansions to the Progress Atlas, legendary trophies, adjustments to prices and currencies, as well as optimizations to classes, PvE, and PvP are also part of the update, along with bug fixes. You can view the very long list of all patch notes on the official website of the MMORPG Skyforge.

Sea of Thieves bietet Open-PvP – eine natürliche, offene Spielwelt

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Rare, the developers of the upcoming pirate MMORPG Sea of Thieves, have revealed some very interesting new details about their online game.

Sea of Thieves is essentially already an MMORPG, but it is not labeled as such. This is because MMO fans will not find statistics, numbers, menus, and windows here, but rather just the essence of it all – the fun of the game. Rare places great importance on allowing players to simply jump into the game and do everything without the need for explanations. Everything is designed to feel natural and logical. If you want to do something, you should just do it in the way you believe it should work.

Sea of Thieves Combat
Just “do it”!

No one will explain to you for long that you have to combine this with that and drag it into the window after reading this recipe. You simply do everything directly in the game world by interacting with objects. This “just doing” is intended to permeate the entire game. When you encounter other players, you won’t know what they are planning. This naturally means you can essentially trust no one. A crew consists of up to five players.

Because of the open-PvP system, it will be possible to betray anyone at any time. The developers have considered for a long time how they can implement this in a way that feels natural but is not frustrating. Because you are, of course, playing pirates, who are rogues. They have decided that they want to provide players in a group with positive experiences. Cooperative players will be rewarded for their actions. Additionally, you cannot take anyone’s treasures, as loot will always be “personal” to individual players. Furthermore, you will not be able to attack group members.

A natural, open game world

Sea of Thieves Undead

The game world is designed to function in a similarly natural way as the rest of the game. There will be something to discover everywhere – whether it’s sharks or mermaids. There will be battles against suddenly appearing Krakens, and on an island, the undead can fall upon the crew. At sea, you will see ships without knowing beforehand whether the crew is friendly and willing to trade or will immediately open fire, leading to a naval battle. Anyone embarking on quests can expect plenty of adventures.

It is clear that probably everyone wants to be the captain of a ship. Therefore, players will be given good reasons to take on other positions on a ship as well. How this will work is something we will have to wait and see. Certainly, when the Closed Beta of Sea of Thieves starts. A specific date has not yet been set, but it is intended to occur later this year, as the official release of the online game is planned for February 2017.

WoW Legion: How do glyphs work?

MeinMMO MeinMMO Reading time 2 minutes

With the expansion World of Warcraft: Legion, the glyphs are getting a makeover.

As usual, Blizzard keeps changing existing game mechanics. The well-known glyph interface has disappeared. Glyphs are no longer unlocked and they disappear after use. You will have to buy new ones regularly. But how do you use them?

WoW Legion PreEvent Westfall Infernal
Using, swapping, and removing glyphs

As before, the glyph is initially located in your inventory in WoW Legion. Right-click on it to open the spell book. Then use the cursor to select the corresponding ability you want to affect. Eligible skills will be highlighted directly. The icon of the spell will receive a small pink icon in the upper right corner. This indicates that a glyph has been used. When you use this ability now, the glyph effect is triggered.

If we want to switch the glyph, we proceed similarly. Right-click on the glyph and then left-click on the ability. The only difference is the security question that now appears asking if we want to overwrite the effect. This process can be repeated as often as you want. There are no restrictions. Disadvantage: Each spell can only have one active glyph.

Maybe we don’t want to replace anything, but delete. For this, we need a dust, which can be purchased from the reagent vendor. The system is identical: Right-click on the dust, left-click on the ability, confirm the security question.

WoW Legion Azsuna Ruins

Many important glyphs removed – will scribes become unemployed?

Significant glyphs have been removed in WoW Legion. As compensation, some of their effects are already included in the spells. The scribe thus only creates the minor glyphs in a one-time variant – mainly allowing only cosmetic adjustments through these items. In return, the scribe can create Vantus runes. These consumables allow players to fight more effectively against a specific raid boss each week.

What do you think of this change? Are you glad you no longer have to constantly swap glyphs since most will only be cosmetic? Or do you mourn the loss of another customization option?

Interesting: World of Warcraft: Legion – Pre-Patch 7.0.3. – WoW starts again! What changes are there?

Doom: Update brings “secret” weapon balancing in multiplayer

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

An update has been deployed for Doom that brought an unknown weapon balancing. Now details are known.

Recently, an update was released for Doom that brought changes to weapons in multiplayer modes. The developers at id Software revealed which weapons were adjusted, but did not go into details. Many Doom players were dissatisfied with this lack of information and raised their voices. Now the curtain has been lifted in the Bethesda forum:

  • Combat Shotgun and Super Shotgun: The effective range has been slightly reduced, meaning you need to get closer to enemies to deal maximum damage. The speed at which you can switch these weapons has also been adjusted.
  • Chaingun: You can now dodge in combat at a speed that matches the other weapons. “Spinning Up” the weapon no longer slows the player down.
  • Plasma Rifle: The fire rate will be increased, but the damage is slightly reduced.
  • Heavy Assault Rifle: You can now draw the weapon faster to respond to threats more quickly.

The developers are seeking feedback from the community on this.

The Division: Over 700k Toughness – A Remarkable Tanktician Build

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, we present a build with an impressive toughness value.

A week ago, Massive made some changes to the PvP: Since then, agents deal more weapon damage to each other in the Dark Zone. The developers aim to address the issue that agents waste bullets for minutes without anyone going down. Many players have high toughness values, resulting in some battles being quite literally “tough”.

division-700k

YouTuber MarcoStyle has now found a way to withstand the increased weapon damage: he cranks his toughness value to dizzying heights – over 700k!

A build with over 700k toughness

MarcoStyle refers to his build as the “Tanktician build of all Tanktician builds”. To create this setup, he played the raid “Falcon Lost” in challenging mode for days. It involved a lot of work and time. The YouTuber recommends not to replicate this for the sake of mental health.

division-700k-brust

The build consists of four parts of the “Authority of the Tactician” and two pieces of “Final Measure“. The weapons used play a minor role here, as the weapon values are low and most weapon talents cannot be unlocked.

To increase toughness in The Division, you need to focus on armor and stamina. To be prepared against exotic damage, you should also increase your resistance to it:

  • Chest Piece Final Measure: +1074 stamina and bonuses to armor and exotic damage resistance. Two high-end mods for stamina and exotic resistance are equipped.
  • Kneepads Final Measure: +910 stamina and bonuses to exotic damage resistance. With these two armor pieces, the 2-set bonus becomes active, granting 50% exotic resistance.
  • Backpack Tactician: +907 stamina and bonuses to skill power and ammunition capacity.
  • Gloves Tactician: +748 stamina and bonuses to critical hit chance, LMG damage, and critical hit damage.
  • Holster Tactician: +657 firearms, +752 stamina, +743 electronics, and bonuses to armor.
  • Mask Tactician: +908 stamina and bonuses to skill power.

This activates all bonuses and the talent of the “Authority of the Tactician”.

In this way, the YouTuber achieves the maximum values for armor and resistance against exotic damage.

The weapons used are the LMG Custom L86 A2 and the sniper rifle SOCOM M1A.

This build is mainly recommended for team play. While you can take a lot of damage, you can deal very little. In the Dark Zone, even with this enormous toughness, you stand little chance against a group of enemy agents.

The Skills and Talents

The following skills are used:

  • Ballistic Shield with the Mod Attack Shield: With the portable shield, damage, reload speed, and precision of the secondary weapon are increased and recoil is reduced.
  • First Aid: Heals you and all allies in a small radius.

The talents are:

  • Emergency Medical: Use a medkit at low health to increase damage resistance by 40% for 10 seconds.
  • Triage: When you heal an ally with a skill, skill cooldowns are reduced by 15%.

The other two talents can be adjusted based on your playstyle. For example, if you switch to the sticky grenade, the Chain Reaction is recommended.

The advantages of this build are numerous: You can serve as a shield for your friends, carry the supports in “Clear Sky”, and lead the way in PvP. With this extreme toughness, your chances of cutting the rope in the Dark Zone and stealing the loot are also better.

Note: The required armor pieces for this build do not simply drop from the sky. You will need to invest a lot of time and effort to achieve such numbers. MarcoStyle has set a benchmark that many other agents can aspire to.

What do you think of this build?

Here we present a Tanktician build with over 500k toughness.

Pokémon GO: 3000 McDonalds branches will probably become PokéGyms

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

The first major sponsored deal with Pokémon GO is sealed.

In the code, there were already signs detected, now McDonald’s Japan has confirmed it. The first major deal that Pokémon GO is making with a company will probably be with McDonald’s.

McDonald’s has not revealed the details yet. Yesterday a site reported that they are turning 3000 McDonald’s locations in Japan into PokéGyms. In Japan, the home of Pokémon, the game Pokémon GO has not launched yet, supposedly because they feared that the local server capacity would not handle the expected rush.

Some media outlets are also fueling fears: When it launches in Japan, we here in Europe are ultimately doomed, the servers would crash and collapse. Then there will be only problems, but whether that will actually have an impact seems rather questionable – at least the EU and North America servers appear to be operating independently from each other.

Pokemon GO: Pokemon Radar – See Rare Pokemon on the Map

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

With this app you can see the locations of Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

The Pokémon fever has broken out in Germany and Pokémon trainers are running all over the streets, looking to expand their collection of pocket monsters. The game has a strong social factor, bringing many trainers together who then exchange tips. In our Pokémon GO Facebook group, we currently have almost 2000 members who support each other daily with tips and tricks.

Search for or enter Pokémon locations in the app

The “Poké Radar” app makes sharing Pokémon locations around the world much easier. The operation is also straightforward and can be done without much time investment. When you catch a Pokémon, you can select your location on the world map and even enter the captured Pokémon with the time. Other trainers will then see that there is a specific Pokémon at that location.

Pokémon GO map share publicly social

Although the app is just in its initial phase, various Pokémon types have already been entered in many areas. To not lose track of all the locations, the app also includes a filter that allows you to search for specific Pokémon. So if you are looking for a Psyduck, you can display these locations on the map without a Snorlax blocking your view.

When you are searching, pay attention to Rustling leaves or footprints, because perhaps you can also enter another Pokémon on the map. It doesn’t matter which selection you made when choosing a team in Pokémon GO – all trainers stick together here. As a nice side effect, the eggs will also hatch during your adventures. Here you can see which Pokémon can hatch from the different eggs.

So far, the “Poké Radar” app for the browser or for iOS devices for download is available. Currently, the browser version is a bit overloaded and doesn’t always load – please be patient.

No power to trolls

Poké Radar thrives on the community and the social factor of Pokémon GO. Like with any popular game, trolls try their luck with Pokémon GO as well. Poké Radar has a rating system in place for this case, so you can rely more on the Pokémon locations.

Pokémon GO

Each location is marked with the trainer name of the player who enters this location. You can then vote up or down on how helpful this entry on the map was for you. If the community sticks together here as well, this app will become increasingly helpful in the future and make catching Pokémon significantly easier!

In our Pokémon guide collection you will find many more useful tips for Pokémon GO!

The improved physical play in FIFA 17

In all areas of the pitch, the physical interaction of players has been redesigned. This aims to give you more control in the battle for space and ball possession. Here are the main revisions:

  • Pushback technology: This gives you more time until your teammates are in good positions. Innovations in ball reception, dribbling, physics, and defense allow you to better control the ball and keep it within your ranks.
  • New physical play: Players now increasingly utilize their bodies, aiming to make the action on the pitch more dynamic. This includes goalkeeper collisions, aerial duels, ball control when shielding, and positional battles while the ball is in the air.
  • 360° shielding: Shielding has also been improved. You can fend off opponents while dribbling in any direction and defend your ball possession.
