The Division: “Reclaimer” – The fourth gear set of update 1.3

In The Division, the name, bonuses, and talent of another gear set are known, which is set to come with the Underground expansion. This one seems overpowered!

Just yesterday, we introduced three upcoming sets in The Division. Now, a third set has been revealed, which is named “Reclaimer”.

This is the Reclaimer set in The Division

The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming was able to explore a bit of the Underground expansion ahead of E3 and discovered three new sets just yesterday. Now he has also found the fourth set, which might come with update 1.3. He suspects that this will primarily be available through the Dark Zone.

The Reclaimer set is apparently intended for supporters and provides bonuses and a talent when multiple pieces are collected:

  • 2 pieces: +100% healing speed of the “Support Station”, the aid station.
  • 3 pieces: +50% duration of consumables
  • 4 pieces: Talent Reclaimer: When you use consumables (water, incendiary rounds, etc.), your entire squad receives this benefit. Additionally, the consumable is not consumed.
division-survival

Especially the talent is causing a stir: It is quite unlikely that this will come in this form in The Division. It basically means that the entire team can use unlimited incendiary rounds etc. This would likely be too imbalanced.


You can access the previous three new Gear Sets (and one Gear Set weapon!) from Underground. However, it remains unclear whether all will actually come with the upcoming expansion.

Destiny: Data miner finds “Moments of Triumph” for Year 2 – and they are quite intense

In Destiny, a graphic has appeared that supposedly shows the Year 2 “Moments of Triumph.” However, these are not confirmed.

Before the “The Taken King” expansion, Bungie revealed the “Moments of Triumph”: specific tasks that Year 1 Guardians could complete to earn an exclusive reward, a fancy emblem. Thus, the veterans of Destiny were recognized, who can now proudly say: “I am a Year 1 Guardian. I have experienced all these ‘Moments of Triumph!'”

destiny-triumph-jahr1
Only Year 1 veterans can enjoy this emblem

Now, a graphic has appeared that indicates these Triumph Moments for Year 2 of Destiny.

Are these the Year 2 “Moments of Triumph” in Destiny?

destiny-momente-jahr2

The user Vivek Hari shared this graphic on his Twitter account. The image is allegedly based on data he found in the API database.

According to the graphic, the Moments of Triumph for Year 2 are:

  • Challenge of the Elders: Complete the scorecard in the Prison of Elders, the Elders’ Seal.
  • The Play’s the Thing: Complete the main questline of “The Taken King.”
  • The Third Element: Complete a Year 2 focus of a character.
  • This is Amazing: Finish the Crucible questline.
  • Eris Morn’s Revenge: Collect all 50 calcified fragments.
  • A Blade Reborn: Complete one of Shaxx’s quests culminating in an exotic sword.
  • Return to the Reef: Complete the quests from the April update “At the Gates” and “Return to the Prison.”
  • The Sword Logic: Defeat Oryx in the King’s Fall raid on Hard.

If these tasks are confirmed, there would be some hefty, daunting challenges – especially for Guardians not in an active clan. The 50 fragments also need to be painstakingly collected – for which you must complete all three challenge modes in the raid.

Destiny-PvP

On the other hand, if you are only engaged in PvE, the Crucible questline presents a significant challenge. Many Guardians may have started them, but few have completed them. However, a note: These Year 2 moments are not confirmed and do not appear on Bungie’s website. What rewards there may be is unknown.

What do you think? Have you completed all these moments?

Overwatch: Neue Helden noch in diesem Jahr

Blizzard has confirmed that we can expect new heroes for Overwatch later this year.

More heroes and maps still in 2016

Jeff Kaplan, the game director of Overwatch, regularly tries to be active in the official forum to look at player feedback and address some points himself. Now a player simply asked: “Can you tell us the next steps for Overwatch?”

Overwatch-Founder

Kaplan took the time to comprehensively answer this question. The team is currently working on several patches simultaneously, with planning extending into spring 2017. Currently, the ranked mode, “Ranked Play,” holds significant value. Although the plan still stands to release the mode in June, it will likely take several seasons before Blizzard and the community are truly satisfied with the feature – adjustments are already planned.

Players are particularly eager for new heroes, and work is being done on several heroes simultaneously. Some are already well-developed, while others are nothing more than a rough concept that may never see the light of day. However, Kaplan does not want to give potential dates, as he believes that would quickly lead to people saying they made promises, even though that is not the case.

Interesting: Overwatch: The great overview of all heroes

The team is also currently working on new maps. One of them is currently “officially” in production, meaning the team is generally satisfied with the map and is now creating various objects and graphics to bring the map to life.

Jeff Kaplan Forum Heroes OW

A fan expressed dissatisfaction and cautiously asked: “I don’t want an exact date, but can we expect new heroes and maps this year?” The brief and clear response from Kaplan: Yes!

Aside from that, the team is also working on numerous bug fixes, especially for the console version. Currently, it is not possible to leave a game as a group – a bug that greatly irritates the developers and causes them sleepless nights.

You can find the original post from Jeff Kaplan in its entirety in our sources.

WoW: Legion – 2 dungeons are only available on Mythic

World of Warcraft: Legion will launch with as many dungeons as few expansions. However, 2 of them are only available on Mythic.

Suramar is Endgame – also regarding the dungeons

WoW Court of Stars

The next expansion of World of Warcraft, Legion, puts a greater focus on group play and thus on dungeons. All instances should remain relevant throughout the duration of the whole addon. However, of the 10 announced dungeons, 8 will be available on “normal” or “heroic” – 2 dungeons are only available on “mythic”. Does this exclude casuals from the instances that tell part of the story? Not quite. In the official forum, Blizzard has now explained why this is the case and what they were thinking.

The two instances “Court of Stars” and “Arcway” are located in the area of Suramar, which is designed for players level 110. Both dungeons are closely intertwined with the story and therefore have an “Attunement” quest – to enter them, you must first quest in Suramar for a while. The developers wanted these two instances to serve as a reward by giving players another opportunity to obtain better gear. However, since most players only enter dungeons through the “Looking for Group” tool, it didn’t feel like a reward to be able to choose between 9 or 10 instances instead of 8 in the random selection of dungeons.

WoW Legion Court of Stars Screen

For this reason, the mentioned dungeons will only be offered as Mythic versions. Unlike normal and heroic instances, the mythic variant can only be entered with a self-made group. This is also important as Court of Stars and Arcway have special mechanics that require specific agreements.

Blizzard emphasizes that mythic dungeons in Legion are not as difficult as in Warlords of Draenor. Anyone looking for a hardcore challenge will be happy in “Mythic+” – because here the difficulty increases, while the rewards get better.

However, if you are worried that you cannot complete the quest area Suramar, they reassure you. Although the instances are unlocked during the storyline, the actual quests for it are only “side stories” and not required for the main plot.


What else changes with the addon, you can read in our overview article on World of Warcraft: Legion.

The Division: Server down on June 16 – A bug is being fixed

In The Division, the servers will be taken down today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. A problem is being fixed.

Currently, some developers from Massive are in the USA to promote the expansions of The Division at E3. For this reason, today’s weekly status report, the State of The Game, is also canceled. However, a few technicians stayed home to carry out the weekly maintenance and tweak the game a little.

division-untergrund-feuer

Today, at 9 AM, the servers will be taken down. The estimated server downtime is 3 hours. Therefore, you can play again around 12 PM.

What changes on June 16th in The Division?

A fix is provided by Massive:

  • A problem is being fixed that allowed low-level agents to receive high-end items when they completed high-level targets with friends at level 30.

What can we expect in The Division?

Destiny: This is how infusion will be with Rise of Iron – Can you keep your old stuff?

In Destiny there is now information on how item infusion will work with Rise of Iron.

Infusion (or infusing) in Destiny works by using an item with a higher defense or attack value to bring a lower item up to the strength of the higher one. The stronger item disappears in the process. Through this mechanic, Destiny players can put together their favorite gear with ideal stats. This is an important “customization option.”

The mechanic has become even friendlier to players since the April update: Items now take on new values at a 1:1 ratio.

Overall, the loot system in Destiny has been oriented towards benefiting the players since April and is relatively frustration-free. However, it hasn’t always been this way. We assumed in an article that this would change and become grittier when “real content” comes, to keep players occupied for as long as possible. New content – just like how it is supposed to come with “Rise of Iron” in September.

destiny-klingentänzer
Infusion works in Destiny, no changes desired

As the page mashable has now learned from the game director of the next expansion, the infusion system is to remain as it is. According to Barrett, infusion will continue to exist. Players should be able to bring their favorite gear that they like and love up to the new power level and thus reach the new light level.

Barrett believes the current system works well. They have received positive feedback, and people like it. With Rise of Iron, they want to address difficulties in the game, change elements that hinder gameplay. They want to focus on things that players have been calling for and asking about for a long time.

There is nothing to announce regarding infusion. They find it works quite well in Destiny.

destiny-rise-gjallarhorn

Is Bungie making the same mistake as in House of Wolves?

Mein MMO thinks: One should still be skeptical, although it sounds so decisive.

“So infusion is staying around,” he told Mashable in an E3 2016 interview. “The stuff that you have now that you like and love, you’ll be able to bring up to the new power level, the new Light level.”

How it will play out in practice is another question. Ultimately, it’s about : Can hardcore players keep their painstakingly optimized sets and simply “upgrade” them? Will they be able to take their favorite weapons with them? Or will they be “forced” to collect new items due to some change?

However, the will of the players is not necessarily the ideal solution.

Destiny-365-Schicksalsbringer
Everyone loved it back then… for 2 weeks.

In House of Wolves, which Barrett also directed, it was indeed the case that “old items” could be raised to the new values. A mistake, as it turned out. Players lost motivation to search for new items after just a few weeks.

Destiny and the hard reset – now not again?

The infusion system is good, but whether one should really take year-2 items into year-3… opinions differ on that. Last time with “The Taken King,” the system was restricted so that year-1 items could not simply be taken into year 2. The “Ascension” system was recognized as a failed development and called for another item hard reset.

destiny-action-shot-hüter

At the moment, based on Barrett’s statements, it seems that Bungie is once again answering the question of whether “old items” can be taken with them for year 3 differently and apparently skipping the hard reset.

However: Maybe this is also a sign that Bungie does not see “Rise of Iron” as a “new era” – as it was with “King of the Taken” in year 2, but rather as an “interim solution,” as “House of Wolves” ultimately was.

In a “Destiny 2,” one probably wouldn’t be allowed to take old items with them – as seems to be the case with Rise of Iron.

Xbox One: Scorpio is only worth it for 4k enthusiasts, will cost a “premium” price

The new Microsoft console, Scorpio, will not be for everyone.

As Xbox chief Phil Spencer explained in an interview with Eurogamer, the new Xbox version “Scorpio” is only interesting for players who also own a 4k TV. For everyone else, “the most powerful gaming console of all time” is simply not worth it.

And it also sounds like it will be quite expensive. Spencer talks about a “premium price” for gaming enthusiasts. The target audience is clearly gamers willing to pay quite a bit for the ability to play in 4k. Those who can forgo 4k, Spencer recommends the Xbox One S(lim). They plan to offer it at a budget price.

Guild Wars 2 – Buccaneer Weapon Set Causes Trouble

For Guild Wars 2, new skins have arrived in the cash shop. However, unlike usual, the pirate weapon set can no longer be resold in the trading post. This has made some players angry!

In Guild Wars 2, you can exchange certain skins for a so-called “Black Lion Ticket.” And these tickets are only found in special chests, which can be opened for real money. Because that’s the only way to obtain a total of 10 ticket scraps, which in turn result in the coveted ticket. Therefore, there were always players who opened a大量of chests and unlocked skins from the tickets, which they then sold profitably in the trading post. From the proceeds, they could buy gems, the real money currency in Guild Wars 2.

Sales Ban for Pirate Stuff!

But with the recently introduced pirate weapon set, this is changing. Because this set is specifically only available for tickets and cannot be sold in the trading post at all. Therefore, only players willing to spend a lot of real money will get the set. This has enraged many players, and threads soon appeared on Reddit discussing “money making” and calling it “rip-off.” Consequently, developer Arenanet has reacted as well. Producer Sarah Witter said about this:

Guild Wars 2 PvP League

“The set is designed to be a special, exclusive set, and therefore it is a bit different from the rest. Additionally, there are a few interesting factors that I would like to share with you: The set is available for a ticket. It will also be offered for a ticket in the future, so anyone who wants it doesn’t have to worry that it will no longer be available or increase in price.”

Trouble in GW2 – Is it really that bad?

Witter further promised that Arenanet will continue to offer skins for the trading post in the future. Additionally, the fixed ticket prices could also contribute to stabilizing the soaring inflation in Guild Wars 2, as another Reddit user noted.


What do you think about the situation? Is it okay if individual sets – like the pirate weapon set here – are not available for free trade, or is that unacceptable because all real money items should also be available for in-game currency? And do you also think that this step improves the inflationary gold prices in Guild Wars 2? Write it in the comments and let us know!

TERA: Ein Sommer voller Änderungen

New instances, raids, and guild wars are coming in summer for Tera – at least already in Korea.

The Gameforge team is diligently working on further improving TERA. After the changes that are expected in the original version of the game were announced in Korea, they have now followed up with some highlights that are coming in the next months.

The concept of guild wars is being revised. Once a week, all guilds can compete against each other simultaneously and must defend their outposts while overrunning the opponent’s facilities. The guild with the last intact outpost will gain control over Velika and the surrounding region for one week, allowing the region to be taxed and special tasks to be undertaken.

Tera Dawnfall Title

New content is also planned for smaller and larger groups. Up to 30 players will face a new raid boss of “epic size.” Smaller groups can venture into at least 2 new dungeons (Lilith’s Castle and Rakelith’s Ruins), but they must adapt to the constantly changing behavior patterns of the enemies. These “unpredictable” adjustments of the foes are intended to keep the new instances exciting for a long time.

Tera Spell effect changes
The effects are set to become more beautiful.

Furthermore, there will be a thorough overhaul of the classes, starting with the wizard classes. This involves not only balance but also updating the visual effects of the various abilities.

Lastly, the somewhat overloaded interface developed over the years is being addressed, aiming to eliminate “useless” information while clearly presenting important mechanics, such as warnings for enemy attacks.

It is emphasized that these changes will not all come to the game at the same time – a specific date cannot be given yet.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Neues Gameplay-Video zeigt Drohnen, Fahrzeuge und Schießereien!

In a new gameplay video, you can see how to handle drones and sniper rifles in Wildlands.

Recently, the official E3 trailer and gameplay footage for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands was revealed. The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming had the chance to try out the game at E3 and recorded the results.

First Impressions of the Gameplay

In this video, you can see how to approach a mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands. At E3 in Los Angeles, there was a test mission that could be tried out directly at the fair. Equipped with drones and a sniper rifle, you gain an overview of the map and inform your teammates (up to 4 players in co-op mode) of enemy positions. It’s also important to advance in a coordinated and tactical manner, similar to what you know from games like PayDay 2.

Black Desert Online – Belagerungen verschoben

The sieges in Black Desert Online were supposed to arrive in the game today, June 15. However, they are not, as publisher Daum has postponed the PvP sieges.

In Black Desert Online, you can build special fortresses with your guild, and other guilds can then besiege and possibly capture these in the guild wars, thus earning fame and honor. Or at least, you should be able to do this, as so far only players from the Korean version of the Asia-sandbox MMO have the privilege of the sieges.

Actually, the siege battles were supposed to be patched into the game today, but due to some last-minute issues, the feature has been postponed. Therefore, the siege battles in Black Desert Online will unfortunately not arrive until next Friday, June 17.

The reason for the delay – Too much new content

So what exactly was the problem? Belsazar, community manager at Daum, explains it by stating that they needed to implement features from Season 4 of the Korean version for the siege battles. However, since these are based on the first three seasons as well as the yet-to-be-released Valencia update, the necessary infrastructure for the siege battles in the western version of the game was not yet available.

Black Desert Valencia Update

Therefore, some elements of the Valencia update had to be brought forward, and thus the quality assurance took longer than planned. Consequently, Daum had to make the difficult decision to postpone the siege feature to June 17, 2016.

Interesting: Black Desert: Valencia brings hundreds of quests, camels, and elephants


That’s it for the official explanation. What do you think about the postponement? Is it okay if the quality is good at least, or do you think this whole mess was predictable and avoidable?

Paragon: Tiefgreifende Umstellungen bringen Draft-Modus und neues Balancing

For almost three months, the MOBA Paragon has been in its early access phase and in just a few weeks it will enter open beta. With the last patch, Epic Games is changing quite a bit and has even more in store. What to expect, you will find out here.

Once upon a time…

…a studio was formed in 1991 to bring titles such as Jill of the Jungle, Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament, Gears of War, and others to life. This traditional studio, which is unleashing creativity in its 25th year, announced an ambitious new project at last year’s E3 that was received very positively from the start: Paragon.

In the coming months, they set out to create a third-person MOBA in a quiet chamber that was to be both a graphical feast and highly competitive. In mid-March, early access began for this title, thus flooding the battlefields with new, interested players.

Riktor – the latest hero in the Paragon lineup

Since then, countless matches have been played, new heroes have been released every three weeks, and a huge amount of data has been collected. And after almost exactly three months of continuous development and analysis, it is time to tackle some major issues and thus pack the most comprehensive changes into an update to send it on its way to the fighters of Agora.

…an ogre

paragon3

But these problems had to be identified and understood before one could address corresponding ideas and solutions. Because often it is not as simple as it seems. Some nuts are as layered as an onion – only when you delve into the core do you recognize the truth.

But without further ado, let’s get right to the hard facts.

Problem and solution

A core problem that caused long waiting times before the actual match was player search. To address this and make a first step towards ranked games, from today the Draft Mode is available.

Only after your entry will the characters of both teams be chosen, which naturally allows for better composition and coordination. However, you must be proficient in several heroes, in case a teammate snatches your favorite away from you or he is banned by the opposing team. But that is part of the business as usual in MOBAs.

Khaimera joins his companions next week
Khaimera joins his companions next week

With the passive ability of all tough fighters and the upgrade of the standard attack within a match, Epic hoped for a depth and strategic component that ultimately turned out to be significantly less than expected. Therefore, both things are largely being discarded.

The passives have now been integrated or transformed into the existing character abilities, and increasing the standard attack now occurs automatically with rising level. Furthermore, your first three abilities can be upgraded four times, and the ultimate ability three times.

The balance

Regarding the individual heroes, all have undergone re-evaluation and adjustment. Please have mercy if we cannot go into every detail here, as that would exceed the scope and you would still be here tomorrow. And torture is of course also prohibited here.

paragon4
Assassin Kallari is at the forefront of the character changes

Additionally, she will be available to you faster again, and by breaking stealth with her standard attack, she now deals minor bonus damage to her targets. But that’s not all. “Blood Dagger” is now “Mutilation Dagger” and slows its targets on hits instead of causing a bleeding effect.

And finally, “Death Sentence”: With this, you mark all opponents for you and your entire team for up to 7 seconds, can teleport directly to a target of your choice, and deal up to double base attack damage.

Goodbye Deathball or: “Get out of my jungle”

Since we’re already on Kallari and thus junglers, let’s go directly to the next, and most unpleasant problem of how Paragon is played, especially in the early game, by some individuals, which is a greater thorn in the side of Epic Games: The so-called “Deathball”.

If you have not yet fallen victim to it, or do not use such tactics: Congratulations. My condolences to all others. This involves early roaming, usually in a complete 5-man team, through the jungle and across the lanes. This was quite effective, as everyone benefited from the experience gained up to that point and thus the enemy was often completely overwhelmed.

However, if you are among the Kallari pros, a complete overhaul awaits you with the update. Her base damage has been reduced, and the cooldown of her backward leap has been increased by 6 seconds. But before the outcry begins, read on. Because now your Shadow Run lasts at least 18 seconds and, when fully upgraded, a whopping 36 seconds.

paragon5tabelle
The new gain of map experience is no longer worth it for everyone

However, this should now belong to the past, as the distribution of map experience is now different. Basically, the one who gets the kill receives 100% of the experience. Now for the difference. If you’re two on the lane, the killer and his helper each receive 100%. However, if another teammate joins in, as mentioned, the killer still gets the full amount.

But the two others have to share 100% and thus only get 50% each. Consequently, this means that with a full team presence on the lane, only one really benefits. The remaining 4 helpers would then only receive 25% experience each (since 100:4=25).

paragon6
The jungle of Agora

And in the jungle, there is now only one ruler. Helping hands no longer receive any share; they come up completely empty. Only the one who gets the kill will receive the corresponding points and can then choose something nice in the shop with sufficient points.

This restructuring of map experience is also intended to help clarify roles during the game. The jungle will thus be left to the jungler.

Furthermore, there were changes to minions regarding number, composition, health points, and damage, the inhibitors no longer respawn automatically after their destruction and received more health points.

“Open Beta” weekend & Future plans

To properly test all these innovations, the next “Open Beta” weekend is already on the horizon. This will take place from June 16 to 19 inclusive. If you have not yet registered for such events, you can still do so by June 15.

paragon7

However, even in the long term, there are already some more concrete ideas for optimizing Paragon. Thus, the inhibitors will only be resummoned upon successful delivery of the main orb if one decides to do so. Additionally, the travel mode is to be completely abolished. Instead, every hero can teleport across the fields to allied towers after a short activation period.

However, this naturally has a cooldown after use, so undisciplined team jumps to a single lane can potentially have dire consequences, as they may not return quickly enough to their original position and possibly lose towers themselves.

Phew, so far the most important things. Whoever of you has made it this far deserves my respect and can now watch a small summarizing video of the developers again in a compact form.

This set will be particularly useful in PvE and serve crowd control. If you have several pieces of it, additional bonuses will be unlocked. With four sets, there will be a unique talent on top.

  • 2 pieces: +100% critical hit damage through Impulses
  • 3 pieces: +100% resistance to the “Blind and Deaf” status
  • 4 pieces: Talent “B.L.I.N.D System”: When you kill an enemy, a flash effect is triggered at that location. Nearby enemies will be blinded within a certain radius. This is particularly helpful when a group of enemies rushes at you. Kill the weakest and keep them all at bay.

This is the FireCrest Set

This set is designed for agents who like to play with fire. Here are the set bonuses:

  • 2 pieces: +3 capacity of incendiary grenades. Currently, you can carry a maximum of three. With this bonus, it will be six.
  • 3 pieces: +100% reload speed
  • 4 pieces: Talent FireCrest: When you kill a burning target, you receive incendiary grenades for ten seconds. In other words: This allows you to enjoy the additional damage and effect of incendiary grenades for a long time. To ignite enemies, you can use incendiary grenades, fire grenades, or the flamer turret.

This is the FrontLine Set

This set puts the ballistic shield in focus. You may be able to create the “ultimate” tank with it. Here are the set bonuses:

  • 2 pieces: +300% “Ballistic Shield” health
  • 3 pieces: +100% “Ballistic Shield” damage resistance. This will also make this skill stronger.
  • 4 pieces: Talent FrontLine: With an active ballistic shield, you can wield a submachine gun. Previously, it was only possible to shoot with sidearms. This is a big change that gives this set this capability.

Update: Here is the fourth set of the Underground update: Reclaimer!

Update: It is now confirmed that the FrontLine set will not be coming with update 1.3.

Are “Gear Set” specific weapons coming to The Division?

division-gear-set-waffe

The YouTuber Schorri TV discovered another exciting news in the gameplay material for “Underground”:

Apparently, weapons tailored to Gear Sets are coming, such as here “B.L.I.N.D. System Battle Rifle”. However, there is still no detailed information about it. An additional number is displayed behind the weapon’s SPS value, which significantly increases the damage per second. This likely depends on the number of set pieces you carry. Speculation is also abundant here.

Such a game change has been desired by many agents: that there would be set weapons corresponding to special set pieces. We are excited to see what information Massive will announce about this.

These gear sets, set weapons, and more information about Underground can be shown to you in the following video by our friend Schorri TV:

Here we show you how the weapon balance in The Division will change with “Underground” .

The Elder Scrolls Legends: Online collectible card game will compete with Hearthstone

During E3, Bethesda Softworks presented the online collectible card game The Elder Scrolls Legends.

Those familiar with the genre will have no problem playing in The Elder Scrolls Legends as well. Because in terms of gameplay, it is not significantly different from, for example, Blizzard’s Hearthstone. You compete in card duels against other players or an AI and try to win as many games as possible.

Play your cards

Your collected cards come into play. Each card serves a certain purpose. Attack cards deal damage, defense can reduce this. In a battle, the aim is to defeat the opponent by ensuring they have no defense left. You then try to play the cards in your deck strategically but must always react to the constantly changing situation that arises when the opponent places a new card.

The cards are placed in two rows, and you need to ensure that you place your cards in the row where the opponent’s card is located that you want to “take out,” or through which you want to attack the opponent directly. By placing a card in a lane, you also protect it from the next attack. Therefore, you must play strategically and keep an eye on the entire field. Additionally, you must decide whether to attack the opponent’s cards or the opponent directly.

War against the Aldmeri

The Elder Scrolls Legends thus utilizes a somewhat expanded system that is supposed to be more tactical. Whether this is really the case will be seen when one can play the game themselves. There is also a campaign that you experience in single-player mode, which tells a story in which you must go to war against the new Aldmeri Dominion.

The Elder Scrolls Legends is set to be released later this year. On the official website, you can sign up for a beta. You can see how the game plays in this video:

Detroit Become Human – Massig Entscheidungsfreiheit im neuen Trailer

The thriller “Detroit Become Human” has received an impressive trailer. Check it out here.

Detroit Become Human – The new drama thriller from Quantic Dream

Among the many titles presented at E3, there were not only exciting multiplayer announcements but also plenty of games that can be played solo and captivate viewers with engaging stories. One of these games is “Detroit Become Human”.

In the future, androids live among us, created to serve humans. They perform unpleasant tasks, keep systems running, or even serve as partners for people who struggle to connect with “real” individuals. But what happens when one of these machines suddenly goes rogue? What if it develops truly human traits?

In the new game from Quantic Dream, the comprehensive freedom of choice will once again be in the foreground, allowing players to change the course of their story. According to the latest trailer, you take on the role of the android Connor, who – similar to the FBI agent in the predecessor – must solve crimes. But whether all clues are found, the right conclusions drawn, and especially the correct decisions made, is entirely up to the players’ freedom of choice.

The trailer shows the dramatic resolution of a crime in which an android takes a young girl hostage. Connor must now defuse this situation … and fails. But it could have all unfolded differently! The focus and message of the trailer is clear: “As players, you have numerous decision-making options. Every choice affects the course of the story.”

“Detroit Become Human” is the indirect successor to the games Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls and has quite a crazy backstory. At the release of Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream created a tech demo that was originally meant to showcase the high level of detail in character representation. However, this tech demo was so emotionally rich in story that the calls for a standalone game grew loud – and this is exactly what “Detroit Become Human” is.

No fixed release date has been set yet, but it is said to be “sometime” in 2017 – the platform will be the PlayStation 4.

Destiny: How to farm the “Grip of Malok” in the Omnigul Dusk Strike

We are taking a look at Destiny and a method on how you can efficiently farm “Grasp of Malok” this week.

Yesterday, update 2.3.0 went live – after a somewhat bumpy start. In addition to numerous changes to weapons and the Hunter class, it also brought a big surprise: Omnigul is back as a Nightfall strike this week.

Destiny-Grasp-of-Malok

Many Guardians are now sounding the alarm: Because the Grasp of Malok, the exclusive weapon from the “Will of Crota” strike, can now be dropped by Omnigul with an increased chance. The drop chances for strike-exclusive items are significantly higher in the Nightfall.

“Grasp of Malok” farming method in the Omnigul Nightfall

Our friend Nexxoss Gaming shows you a farming method on how you can efficiently obtain this coveted pulse rifle. Since this week the Nightfall strike is modified with solar ignitions, you need to adjust your weapons and focuses accordingly.

destiny-griff-malok

As weapons, the YouTuber recommends the exotic solar sword Recluse. Additionally, you can equip a solar shotgun in your secondary slot, as special weapons are also favored this week.

However, the important part of this farming method is the setup of your Guardians. While one player chooses the Hunter with Shadowshot to be able to “bind” Omnigul, another player should create the following Hunter focus:

  • The focus Gunslinger comes with the super “Golden Gun”, which is enhanced by solar ignitions.
  • Focus on the focus node Grail, which increases the precision and damage of the Golden Gun. Nexxoss also recommends Out of the Horizon, which increases the range of the super.
  • Additionally, select the exotic helmet “Celestial Night Hawk”, which causes a shot from the Golden Gun to deal 6 times the damage. This way, you can significantly reduce Omnigul’s health, which is fruitful for this farming method.
Destiny-Nachtpirscher

When you first encounter Omnigul in the strike, shoot a Shadowshot at her, unleash your Golden Gun, and otherwise whack away with the solar sword. She should die within a few seconds, dropping the Grasp of Malok with a bit of luck.

Now you can have yourself die and hunt the witch again from the last checkpoint. Make sure you produce and collect many Light Spheres during this time, so your super is always ready.

Nexxoss managed to secure 15 “Maloks” in this manner within 3-4 hours. The chance to obtain this pulse rifle with strong perks in a short time is high.

You can see the farming method in action in the video below. Here you can also see how quickly you can finish Omnigul using this method:

Star Wars: Battlefront VR Version – In the Cockpit of an X-Wing (Video)

Electronic Arts and Dice have been working on a Virtual Reality version of the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront for some time.

Now, a first teaser for this version was shown at E3. In the video, the player sits in the cockpit of an X-Wing fighter and looks around freely. You fly under a rebel cruiser while other X-Wings zoom past you. Finally, you turn and fly towards a Star Destroyer. As TIE Fighters rush towards the player and the first shots and explosions can be seen, the video comes to an end.

Star Wars Battlefront Millennium Falcon

Into the Depths of Space with Virtual Reality

The PlayStation VR version of this special mission from Star Wars: Battlefront was presented. The video showcases very well where the journey is headed. Whether the Virtual Reality version of the shooter will include the complete game is still unclear. It is clear that it is at least a special VR mission that can be played with the headset. It is also interesting that it is a space mission. Because there were none in the main game. Apparently, the battles in space are at least finding their way into the game with the VR missions.

The X-Wing VR mission from Star Wars: Battlefront is expected to be released on October 13, as that is the day the PlayStation VR headset will also be launched. Additionally, the mission will be exclusive to PlayStation 4. So it cannot be played on PC with an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset. Whether it is only a temporary exclusivity is unclear. However, the video looks quite good and really makes you want to strap into the virtual cockpit of an X-Wing fighter and battle TIE Fighters.

Here you can watch the video directly – also pay attention to where the music from the trailer comes from…

The Elder Scrolls Online – Dark Brotherhood – DLC is released today on Playstation 4

For The Elder Scrolls Online, the latest DLC Dark Brotherhood was actually supposed to be released yesterday, June 14. However, that didn’t happen, but today it should finally be the day.

Dark Brotherhood, the latest DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, was already released on May 31 for the PC version of the online role-playing game, but the console editions were supposed to follow two weeks later, on June 14. However, while the launch yesterday on Xbox One went smoothly, there were several issues with the PlayStation 4 release.

Due to “unforeseen technical problems,” Zenimax employee Jessica Folsom announced in the TESO forum yesterday that the PS4 launch would be delayed by one day. The new launch date for Dark Brotherhood is therefore today, June 15. Maintenance work to implement the DLC began at 12:00 PM our time and was expected to last about four hours. By around 4 PM, the big assassination fun should also begin for PlayStation fans.

The DLC “Dark Brotherhood” introduces the notorious assassin cult led by the “Black Mother” into the game. Our characters can join this group and become cold-blooded killers. A correspondingly bloody trailer already gave a good preview. More info about this organization and the contents of the DLC can be found at the provided link.
