The Division: Neue Waffen-Talente des Updates 1.3

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division , the “Underground Update” introduces new weapons and weapon talents. We take a closer look at the talents.

During E3 2016, a lot of gameplay material for the Underground expansion has been released. Besides the new missions, new weapons and weapon talents were also showcased.

division-agent

In the meantime, more information about these talents has become known, which will be presented below.

New Weapon Talents of Update 1.3 of The Division

So far, we know the names and effects of three new talents. How many talents will come with the “Underground” remains to be seen.

  • Focused: If no skill has a cooldown, weapon damage is increased by about 12.5%. Since players usually frequently use skills in The Division, this talent will hardly maintain its effect for long. A skill power build that quickly resets cooldowns may be advisable here.
    The G36 Assault Rifles coming with Update 1.3 will always have this talent. This is essentially their fixed talent.
  • division-agenten-feuer
    Decisive:     When you eliminate an enemy, the next shot is guaranteed to be a critical hit. Since Update 1.2, a hundred percent critical hit chance can no longer be achieved. With this talent, at least a 100% Crit Chance is ensured with a shot. This is a “fixed” talent of the new SVD Sniper Rifles.
  • Hurried: The more critical hits you achieve, the faster you reload. This talent always appears on PP19 Submachine Guns.
  • Showstopper: The further the magazine is emptied, the more accurate the weapon becomes. This talent is available on the fully automatic shotgun called Showstopper.

With Update 1.3, agents will be able to re-roll the weapon talents. If you don’t like these “fixed” talents, you can change them. It is currently unknown whether these talents can also appear on other weapons.

  • Additionally, the new talent Distracted has already been spotted: Damage is increased by 100% when shooting at enemies with the “Blind and Deaf” status. This talent was found on the “B.L.I.N.D. System Battle Rifle”, a gear set-specific weapon. However, Massive has already announced that this weapon will not be included in Update 1.3. It will come at a later date.

My MMO asks: Swimming pool or gaming – What do you do in summer?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Today’s “Mein-MMO Asks” focuses on your gaming behavior during the summer months. Do you play differently in summer?

tshirt-zocken

Just yesterday, a heatwave rolled over Germany, leaving us all panting and sweating. Today, temperatures beyond 30 degrees are expected. People flock to public pools, ice cream parlors, or beer gardens to enjoy the cool liquid, whether in frozen or tasty form.

However, some barricade themselves with lowered blinds and a plethora of fans in their own four walls and play a fresh game. Do you too?

Do you play less in summer than usual?

Summer – many first think of vacations or summer holidays. Tons of free time to spend as you please. But what does one do with all that time? Do you sunbathe? Go out with your buddies? Or finally play that game you never have time for?

Southpark-WoW

For hardcore gamers, there’s hardly anything better than being able to dive into the beloved online world without interruption. No annoying work breaking the flow of the game. Finally, you can play through the night – you don’t have to get up early. Wonderful! Or?

On the other hand, now is the chance to stretch your head into the sun and get rid of that pale face. After all, you still have the whole night to roam the online world and cause a ruckus with your buddies. Or is the night too short for you? Do you use your summer free time to finally make progress in the game?

How do you prepare for gaming in the summer?

fenster-zocken

Sometimes, however, one struggles with a nasty sunburn or simply feels the urge to have a nice gaming session. How do you fight the heat so that gaming remains fun? Fans are a must in many rooms. Plenty of water or other cool drinks are also essential. Moreover, you are truly grateful for every piece of clothing not worn. If necessary, the ice tub must come into play.

Or do you laugh at this heat problem and play comfortably in air-conditioned rooms? Otherwise, there’s also the option to set up a screen in the garden and move the entertainment system outside. Maybe combined with a delightful barbecue evening?

There are definitely many ways to adapt gaming for the summer months. Completely giving it up isn’t necessary.

How does your gaming behavior change in summer?

Overwatch: Fast 270 Millionen Dollar in einer Woche

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The revenue from Overwatch is astonishing. Nearly 270 million dollars in just one week.

Overwatch – From Zero to Hero(shooter)

Overwatch Symmetra Posing 2

By now, there are hardly any people online who do not at least have a rough idea of what Overwatch is. Blizzard’s hero shooter was underestimated by many and then hit like a bomb. After Blizzard recently announced that it had surpassed the 10 million players mark, the analysts at SuperData have now released part of the May report, which provides even more insights into the sales success. Thus, Overwatch (on PC, PS4, and Xbox One combined) alone made nearly 269 million dollars in May. Overwatch contributed significantly to the fact that the volume of the PC market for digital titles increased by a remarkable 8% in May.

While the game hardly received any recognition during the closed beta in livestreams, it reached fifth place among the most popular streaming titles after its release.

Overwatch leaves Battleborn far, far behind

Battleborn_StartScreen_HeroArt
Battleborn lags far behind in direct comparison – but that doesn’t have to mean failure.

Only in direct comparison with other games does it become truly clear how strong Overwatch has proven to be as a sales title. The comparison with Battleborn, which was often treated as a rival to Overwatch, makes this evident.

Overwatch’s 269 million dollars in revenue can only be countered by Battleborn with “only” 18 million dollars. This by no means indicates that Battleborn is a failure, but it only shows that Overwatch plays in a completely different league, in which no one can keep up so quickly.

This is especially impressive when considering that Overwatch was only released towards the end of the month, on May 24. The figures for the coming months will be particularly interesting when one can estimate how much the game takes in solely from the sale of loot boxes.

Destiny: Xur today – location and inventory from June 24 to June 26.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Today, the vendor Xur appears in Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny. We take a look at his location and inventory for this weekend.

Looking back, the last few days in Destiny have been anything but glorious: The Trials of Osiris were abruptly ended, and the Iron Banner was completely canceled. The culprit was a matchmaking issue and the new feature “Track Friends,” which was addressed with the Hotfix 2.3.0.1 last night.

If everything runs smoothly now, the Trials of Osiris will resume today. The June Iron Banner might also take place next week. After all, time is running out for Lord Saladin to prepare us for the dangers of the “The Taken King” expansion.

While we still have to wait for a statement from Bungie regarding what happens with Osiris and the Iron Banner. The arrival of the shaggy vendor Xur is, however, certain. Let’s take a look at his location and offerings.

All about Xur in Destiny on June 24th, 25th, and 26th on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360

When does Xur come and when does he leave again?

Xur appears on Friday, June 24th, at 11 AM. He will wander among the guardians for 48 hours, taking their Strange Coins until he departs again on June 26th at 11 AM.

Where is Xur? What is his location this weekend?

Every weekend, Xur chooses a nice location where he presents his inventory to the guardians. This week’s location is the balcony near the Speaker. Our friends from ProNDC show you the way:

Blade & Soul: New Class Elemental Fighter now playable

Blade & Soul has received a new class. The Elemental Fighter is now available.

A mix of Kung Fu and the elements in Blade and Soul

At Blade and Soul, major content updates come one after another. This is not surprising, as the Korean version of the game is still ahead by several patches – although we are slowly catching up.

As the latest expansion, the Elemental Fighter has now been added to the game. This class is a blend of the Kung Fu Master and the Elementalist, combining the advantages – but also the disadvantages – of both classes.

Aside from the Elemental Fighter, there are also further changes to the game. Players can now encounter the new class as opponents in the “Arena of the Chosen” and the “Tower of Infinity”. Furthermore, there is now more gold available when completing the daily quests in the Heaven’s Mandate and the Split Nexus.

PvP players are starting the third PvP season, which will last until August 2.

However, something has also been done about annoying disturbances in the game. New measures have been implemented to protect players from spam posts. Lastly, players who send you a friend request can now be blocked and reported directly through the menu.

Heroes of the Storm: All heroes unlocked – At the launch of the new ranking system

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

All heroes are free to play in Heroes of the Storm this weekend!

One free choice, please

Recently, there was a major patch for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s MOBA. It has revamped ranked play and kicked off the first “real” season for the hero and team league, where players can now climb ranks and earn rewards.

Hots Helden f2p juni

To allow former and new players to enjoy these new modes and perhaps find their way back into the worlds of the Nexus, Blizzard is hosting a special event this weekend. From Friday, June 24 to Monday, June 27, all heroes in Heroes of the Storm will be unlocked and playable as “free to play”.

This is the perfect opportunity to try out all characters to get a better feel for them and then decide later whether to purchase them. Especially with expensive characters (usually newer ones) like Chromie or Medivh, it is advisable to play a few real matches before making a purchase decision. The “try out” mode often reveals little about how a hero performs in an actual match.

At the same time, the weekend can be used to earn a lot of gold – because even if you do not own a hero, you can level them during the hero’s “free to play” time, and thus at least gain the gold rewards for level 5. It’s best to team up with other players from your friends list, as this will result in extra experience points, leading to faster gold earnings.

To benefit from the various heroes, check out our guides to Heroes of the Storm.

Destiny: Patch came tonight on 23.6. – Does it bring back Osiris?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny , a hotfix was deployed this evening on June 23rd.

This came unexpectedly. Bungie deployed a hotfix 2.3.0.1 on Thursday evening. This time there was no major warning – unusual for Bungie. It is said: Download the patch, let us know how it runs, wait for what we have to announce about the Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris.

The hotfix is supposed to fix the “matchmaking” issue that led to the suspension of Iron Banner and Osiris this week. Apparently, the problem occurred when many friends participated in an activity. This prevented player searching.

Furthermore, the update for Destiny is supposed to resolve another issue with inspecting activities that many friends participate in. Well, that didn’t cause too much trouble.

The problem was people with too many friends (No, Bungie messed it up)

This new feature, “track friends”, which came with the last patch, seems to be the core of the problem and is responsible for us having to skip Osiris and Iron Banner this week.

Players with too many friends scrambled the whole system. Now there’s a cap of 10 friends who can be displayed at the same time.

destiny-saladin
Is there still going to be the June Iron Banner? And when does it start in Destiny?

If all goes well, the patch should ensure that Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner take place again. This could mean: The June Iron Banner starts next week. A day ago, it was said that there were no plans to start Iron Banner in the middle of the week. But as mentioned at the beginning: Bungie says we should wait for further statements.

If all goes smoothly, Trials of Osiris should start tomorrow, Friday, and next week there will be the June Iron Banner, as stated in “This Week at Bungie.” They also mention: Look forward to July 7th. That’s Bungie Day – we have something special planned to honor the community and its achievements.

Unofficially: Rumor has it: It will likely be about the Moments of Triumph on that day.

Destiny-Triumph
Information about Rise of Iron will probably come at Gamescom

By the way, they do NOT want to release news about Rise of Iron “drop by drop” every Thursday in the community letter, but want to wait for an “explosive moment” in the summer.

Unofficially again: From August 17th to August 21st, Gamescom will take place in Cologne – tactically, that would probably be the ideal moment for an information explosion about Rise of Iron, which is set to be released a month later.

destiny-gjallarhorn

But well, we’ll have to wait for that. Last year there was information about a cooperation with the US magazine GameInformer – such a thing could also be conceivable, even if it’s not an “explosive moment.”

We will also have to wait a little bit for Xur. He appears on Friday, June 24th, at 11:00 AM in the Tower. We will be there to report on his offers.

During the Steam Summer Sale, there are great deals – Here are today’s highlights!

It’s summer again, and Steam is calling for the big Steam Summer Sale, where there are huge discounts on popular games. For many gamers, this means buying games to perhaps try them out sometime in the next 2 years – After all, it was a good deal! One of the many offer categories is called “Today’s Top Deals” and shows highlights of the offers this summer every 24 hours. The offers for these games are valid throughout the Summer Sale. Here are our highlights of today’s deals:

Daily Deals – valid from June 23 to June 24

Our highlights today are the following games:

Patrick’s personal recommendation: Payday 2

Payday 2

If you’re in the mood for coordinated heists with a team, then Payday 2 can provide you with many enjoyable hours. It’s essential to function as a team and agree on a tactic; otherwise, you’ll trigger the alarm and make everything significantly harder. You can complete missions in stealth mode (that is, without triggering an alarm) or the loud way, with heavy weapons, grenades, and armor. However, communication and strategy are crucial for many missions.

Ideally, you play Payday together with friends with whom you are connected through Teamspeak, Skype, or other voice programs so that you can quickly communicate in case of an emergency.

The Elder Scrolls Online: One Tamriel ist letzter Schritt, ESO für alle zu öffnen

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

During E3, some interesting things about the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online were announced.

Now, the magazine MMORPG.com conducted an interview with Game Director Matt Firor to address several points. In the interview, he states that, in principle, there would not be a preferred platform for fans of The Elder Scrolls Online. They are all ESO players who have fun on any platform, and there are also hardcore gamers on every platform.

the elder scrolls online dark brotherhood murder
DLCs and the Crown Store are well received

The ESO Plus membership shows ups and downs. Especially with the release of new DLCs, the number increased. However, there is a healthy base. The Crown Store is running well, and they feel confirmed in their strategy to primarily offer cosmetic items for money there. These items are very well received by the players.

Regarding the announcement of One Tamriel, the contents of the update are based on player feedback. Since the launch of ESO, it has been repeatedly mentioned that the game is too segmented and restrictive. Many players want more options and open systems as well as the ability to choose. With all previous updates, they have already introduced many more possibilities and made the game “broader”. One Tamriel is now the final step, and they have been working on opening up the game for everyone and lifting restrictions for a long time.

Character progression will continue

elder scrolls online tomb

Regarding character progression, the first 50 levels are definitely meaningful, even though with One Tamriel all content will be accessible regardless of level. Because improving and gaining new skills is simply something many players expect. Additionally, there is still veteran content and the Champion system. Players will always have a sense of progression.

Now they are also focusing on the next DLC “Shadows of the Hist”, which will introduce Argonian dungeons and new customization options for their heroes. Regarding the housing of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, they will reveal much more details about it by the end of the year.

The launch of Sony’s twin-stick shooter MOBA “Kill Strain” is just around the corner. In less than a month, the game will be released on PS4.

Kill Strain is a competitive, team-based shooter developed by Sony’s San Diego Studio.

In this PvP experience, three teams compete under “unique, dynamic circumstances”: two teams, each consisting of four players, battle each other while one team, made up of mutants, hunts the humans.

The mutants have the ability to transform players – which can shift the team sizes and power dynamics throughout the game. With the following gameplay trailer, you can get a glimpse of Kill Strain:

The Division: Update 1.3 – So nerfen sie die Spezial-Munition

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In the shared-world shooter The Division, we present the changes to the explosive and incendiary ammunition that the underground update will bring.

In the last State of the Game, Ubisoft Massive discussed a variety of changes with update 1.3. They also addressed the special ammunition that is to be adjusted.

This is how explosive and incendiary ammunition changes in The Division

Both special ammunition types will receive “significant nerfs.” They will each be weakened by about 75% in terms of effectiveness, according to Massive.

  • Incendiary ammunition: The burn effect lasts shorter as it currently lasts longer than that of a fire grenade.
    Update: The duration will be reduced from 10 seconds to 3 seconds.
    division-explosion
  • Explosive ammunition: The explosive damage is now expected to be lower. This will scale 1:1 with the damage of the bullet. Depending on your build and “some other factors,” the ratio may also be a bit different. So far, the explosive damage is a multiple of the “normal” bullet damage.

With these changes, the Reclaimer set in The Division probably won’t be as overpowered as initially feared. This will give the entire team the effect when a consumable (including special ammunition) is used. Furthermore, the ammunition will not be consumed, allowing it to be activated again immediately.

What do you think about these changes to special ammunition?

Black Desert Guide: Fußball zur EM – so funktioniert das Event

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The European Championship in football does not go unnoticed in Black Desert either. With two special events and offers, they want to celebrate the European Championship in the game by Daum as well. We tell you how to get the items to celebrate the football European Championship in Black Desert.

The Football Team of Heidel

Black Desert Football Children

The most active part of the event revolves around the football team of Heidel. The children would like to continue training their favorite sport, but the monsters of the region have made off with their footballs. North of Heidel, near the arena, the children can be found, who will inform about the “serious situation”. To regain the footballs, the heroes do what they do best: They attack the creatures with their weapons and spells and wrest them from their dead claws. The balls then serve as currency and can be exchanged with the children for 2 housing items.

Black Desert Flaggs

For 10 footballs, a golden trophy is offered, and for each 20 footballs, one can buy a national flag of their favorite participating country to display in their house.

This event remains active until July 13 – so anyone looking to stock up on fan material for their virtual home should take advantage of the coming weeks.

Show Your Colors in the Shop

Those who want to display the colors of their favorite nation on their character cannot avoid a visit to the Black Desert shop. However, colors are usually quite expensive – but there is a special offer for the European Championship. For just 1 loyalty point, one can obtain a “fan pack” of colors in the shop, which contains the 7 colors (black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, and orange) used to make the flags of the 20 participating nations. This offer is valid only until June 13.

Even those who are not interested in football can acquire some colors at this low price.

Overwatch rules in the PC Bangs of Korea

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

Overwatch has actually established itself as the “game of choice” in PC bangs in Korea.

For years,League of Legends has been unassailable at the forefront in PC bangs, the gamer temples of Korea. It seems that Overwatch has actually now emerged. After being close in the last weeks, Overwatch now has a bit more of a lead according to the Gamemetrics statistics on June 21.

Almost one in three people gaming in a PC bang plays Overwatch, the statistics say. Whether the LoL record of 200 weeks at the top will be broken seems rather unlikely. But currently, a new idol is being worshipped in the PC temples.

Overwatch is “on fire.” Some say this enormous popularity worldwide is also thanks to the “diverse” cast of heroes. And indeed: with “D.Va,” there is a hero that seems perfectly tailored to the PC bangs.

Destiny: Heroic Strikes nun mit Modifikatoren – das sind die Möglichkeiten

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In Destiny, there are changes to the Heroic difficulty Vanguard Strikes since update 2.3.0. We present the possible modifiers.

After update 2.3.0, Guardians noticed changes in the Heroic Strike playlist. The new features have since been officially explained.

Possible Modifiers for the Heroic Strike Playlist

From now on, there are three “groups” from which the modifiers for the Heroic Strikes are selected. While “Heroic” is always active, the following are chosen randomly:

  • Group 1: Small Arms; Specialist; Brawler; Catapult
  • Group 2: Airborne; Solar Burn; Arc Burn; Void Burn
  • Group 3: Juggler; Fresh Troops; Shields; Exposure; Trash; Berserker
Destiny-Darkblade

From each group, one modifier is rolled. It is apparently excluded that multiple modifiers from one group are selected.

An example:

Currently, the modifiers Catapult (Group 1), Arc Burn (Group 2), and Exposure (Group 3) are active.

The nasty modifier “Trickle”, which slows down the cooldown of your abilities, is not active in Heroic Strikes. This is explicitly mentioned in the patch notes.

What do you think about it?

WildStar: How successful is the Free2Play MMORPG on Steam?

For about two weeks now, the MMORPG Wildstar is also playable on the Steam platform. How has this affected the online game?

As can be seen from the Steam charts, an average of 1,154 players have been playing the MMO on Steam concurrently over the past 30 days. At peak times, there were even 5,040 players simultaneously.

Steamspy shows that nearly 334,000 players own Wildstar, and in the last two weeks about 201,000 players have played the MMO. In the past 24 hours, nearly 3,800 players were simultaneously in the game at peak times. The numbers have remained consistently high since our last post on the successful Steam launch of WildStar. Some readers had feared that the MMORPG would quickly drop off after the first trial days. However, interest has hardly waned.

WildStar Cabin Boy Mission

Of course, it must be said that Wildstar has only been available on Steam since June 9, and we will only be able to see how the numbers stabilize in the coming months. But it is a good start that keeps the MMORPG regularly in the top 100 of the Steam charts – even after 2 weeks. This beginning is a good foundation to build upon. Additionally, there is a very helpful community that makes it easier for newcomers to get started, which for many is an incentive to try the MMO.

Better chances to escape the killer as a survivor in Dead by Daylight.

To provide more variety in the multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight, the developers have designed over 48 perks for survivors and killers. With these improvements, survivors have a greater chance of successfully escaping from the killer. Perks have 3 different tiers that affect their effectiveness – Additionally, the perks are divided into rarity tiers:

Heroes of the Storm: Support publicly exposes “completely innocent” players

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A HotS player complains in the forum that he has been unfairly punished. Blizzard is very open and “explains” his offenses.

“I was unfairly silenced!”

Especially MOBAs like League of Legends, SMITE or Heroes of the Storm are notorious for not having the friendliest players to encounter in random matches. Many of these games therefore have a reporting feature that allows players to directly report others when they become abusive.

In Heroes of the Storm, the result of enough reports is that the corresponding players are “silenced” – they can no longer chat with strangers for one day.

The user DougJuggler received this penalty and shared in the forum how disappointed he is with this system, as it has unfairly impacted him. He writes:

“WOW I am soooo disappointed. Every time someone has a problem in the game and becomes toxic, I report them and also write ‘reported’. But I guess if you do that, you just get reported as well. I didn’t break any rules, yet I was silenced. Thanks, Blizzard. Do you even look at the reports or are the terms and conditions just for show?”

When players are reported, Blizzard shows little mercy.

Blizzard rarely reveals why individual players received penalties, but with such boldness, they likely couldn’t hold back. A support employee responded in the forum:

“For your confirmation: You were not silenced because you reported others. You were silenced because you wrote such things in chat:

  • LILI WAS ZUR (double profanity) are you (profanity)
  • Kill Tracer, Noobs (character from the religion) (obscene word)
  • WONDERFUL, THE (offensive word) THAT CANNOT RESPOND TO MY INSULTS HAVE SNATCHED MY HERO AWAY

If anyone thinks they were unfairly silenced, please contact our support team and the game masters will review all files related to this incident.”

Blizzard has shown quite a stylish sense of humor.

Livelock is somewhat of a mix between Diablo 3 and a shooter, if you will. Perfect World describes the game as a top-down co-op shooter. The perspective is a bit unusual for an “MMO shooter.” The above video gives you a good insight into the gameplay and how the game is intended to be played.
