The Division: “Path of the Nomad” – The Set for Solo Agents

Tom Rothstein 11. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMO shooter The Division, we present the gear set “Path of the Nomad”.

The “Path of the Nomad” is considered the gear set that solo agents should keep an eye on. This set helps you stay alive longer. If you don’t have buddies around to revive you in an emergency, this gear set can be a valuable option.

What the “Path of the Nomad” can do in The Division

The complete gear set consists of a total of six individual parts. You can find these in the Dark Zone, in the PvP area of The Division. While the vendor in the safe room in DZ06 has some parts for sale, you can only find others as loot from Named enemies or from supply drops. The specific locations of all set pieces in The Division are listed here.

Each part of the “Path of the Nomad” grants you certain bonuses, such as increased damage from critical hits or protection from elites. Once you have equipped multiple individual components of the set, additional bonuses will be unlocked. With four pieces, a unique talent activates.

2 pieces: +100% Scavenger. Info on scavenging in The Division can be found here.
3 pieces: +20% health from kills.
4 pieces: Talent “Nomad”: After receiving fatal damage, health is automatically restored to full. Can only be used once every 10 minutes.

This set is controversial in the community. As the YouTuber ThePwnstar4hire says, the bonus from 3 pieces is a true lifesaver. In both PvE and PvP, health is regenerated by 20% with every kill. This allows you to stay alive longer in combat, particularly for offensive builds – or solo builds – this bonus is outstanding.

However, many agents are skeptical of the unique talent “Nomad”. Some users report that it doesn’t work in the Dark Zone, while others believe it is buggy. Even in PvE, this talent seems to react randomly: Sometimes it activates when health is low, but then again does not. According to user reports, the cooldown time has always elapsed during self-tests. The following video shows this talent in action:

It is unclear when exactly the talent intervenes. Therefore, the YouTuber ThePwnstar4hire for example has often used a medical skill to regenerate low health – however, at the same time the talent activated and the skill was wasted. Here, the YouTuber wishes for more transparency and a visual display of when the talent becomes active.

After the talent has been activated, the “Nomad” icon displays the cooldown. You can find this symbol below the grenades.

Except for this questionable talent, the “Path of the Nomad” is useful as a whole to stay alive longer. However, it is not a favorite among most agents.

What do you think of the Path of the Nomad?

The “Call of the Watch” set in The Division is considered by many agents to be the best gear set currently in the game.

Destiny: Chance of Drops in the Iron Banner – “It Rained Loot”

Tom Rothstein 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

Last week, the Iron Banner ended in Destiny. This monthly PvP event offers exclusive items that can only be obtained through it. A Redditor meticulously noted his drop rates during the Iron Banner and can now state: “It rained loot all week.”

Drop chances in the Iron Banner have been significantly increased

The user HeyFitzy kept track of the Iron Banner events from previous months and presented his results to the community. Back then, he came to the sober conclusion that the drop chances of the Iron Banner were so low that they might even be bugged. It was hardly worth grinding for the coveted items during the IB week – the chances were simply too poor before. According to the user, however, the situation looks completely different in the first Iron Banner after the April update: Apparently, Bungie dusted off their generosity and was generous during this week.

For his statistical survey, HeyFitzy completed 300 Iron Banner matches – the same number as in his previous studies. He played 257 games with his Titan alone. He needed 81 to reach rank 5. In the following table, you can see the drops he received with his Titan at the respective ranks. On the left, he also indicates the maps he played on.His personal drop rate is now at 22%. This is almost double that of his earlier surveys. In previous “Iron Banner” PvP events, he only received an Iron Banner drop about once every nine games.

The Reddit user definitely considers this a step in the right direction. An event that only lasts a week must pay off. And this Iron Banner was worth it for him, he can say nothing but praise.

Note: These figures are solely from community data. They are neither official nor to be considered generally applicable. However, “Hey Fitzi” has gained some fame in the community with these Iron Banner evaluations. Some even believe that his highly regarded assessments have contributed to the drop rate being so much better now.

What were your drops in the last Iron Banner?

Titanfall 2: Release für diesen Herbst geplant – Macht sich EA mit Battlefield 1 selbst Konkurrenz?

Information about the upcoming first-person shooter Titanfall 2.

As Electronic Arts recently announced, the release of Titanfall 2 is planned for late 2016. This was revealed in a presentation for the fiscal year 2017. In this presentation, EA lists the launch of Titanfall 2 for the third fiscal quarter, which runs from October to the end of December 2016.

Will Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 clash?

This release window comes as a bit of a surprise, as EA already has another hot title in the shooter genre during this period: Battlefield 1 is set to release on October 21, 2016.

Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, is taking this situation calmly. He downplays any possibility that the two games could get in each other’s way. He considers the FPS genre to be “a huge section in our industry”.

Some players would prefer a fast-paced experience in shooters, while others prefer a strategic approach. And then there are others who want both in different contexts. He is confident that they are well positioned this year with both upcoming shooters in the FPS genre.

Titanfall 2 is being developed by Respawn Entertainment for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. The predecessor, “Titanfall,” was exclusively available for PC and Xbox. Here we introduced the first mini-teaser for Titanfall II.

Battlefield 1: Weapons List – These weapons are available at release

Tom Rothstein 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

In the upcoming shooter Battlefield 1, several weapons are already known.

Battlefield 1 will take place during World War I, which was officially confirmed after the reveal trailer last week. This trailer quickly became the most successful trailer on YouTube ever: Fans have high expectations for this shooter.

However, the community has concerns: What weapons and equipment will be available? How extensive will the selection be? After all, during World War I, there weren’t weapons like those we are used to from other shooters.

Heroes of the Storm: Ranked Games – The new Ranked system of HotS

Jürgen Horn 11. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

In Heroes of the Storm, the ranked games as well as the hero and team leagues are being completely revamped. What this means for you, we explain here.

The developers of Blizzard’s MOBA are dissatisfied with the existing system of ranked games and the team and hero leagues. Therefore, they have completely overhauled the entire system. The new version launches on June 15, but what exactly can we expect?

From Bronze Scrub to Grandmaster – The New League System

With the new league system, Blizzard aims to better represent the actual strengths of the players and has divided the new league into six ranks. These are:

Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Master

Each of these ranks is further divided into individual divisions; the lower the division, the stronger the player in that rank is. For example, a player classified as Silver 3 is nominally stronger than a player who is only classified as Silver 4. The last rank, the so-called “Grandmasters”, is exempt from divisions. Grandmasters are all players who have surpassed the Master status. There are a maximum of 500 Grandmasters who are listed in a regularly updated leaderboard. So it’s a classic leaderboard.

Fairness and Transparency

To ensure that the games are not unfair, groups can only consist of players of the same rank or the next higher or lower rank. A player from the Gold rank could therefore group with all players between Silver 5 and Platinum 1. Groups consist of a maximum of 3 players, and anyone currently banned is not allowed to join a group as long as the penalty lasts.

Players earn points for winning games to rise through the ranks and divisions; however, those who cannot hold their ground lose points. If enough points are accumulated, players ascend within their rank or reach the next highest rank. Conversely, ranks and divisions can also be lost due to repeated defeats.

But don’t worry, Blizzard has implemented a mechanic that specifically alerts you in such cases when the next game will either promote you to a new tier or reset you. This way, you can either really push yourself or perhaps take a break, because who wants to play when they’re fatigued or facing another handicap when it matters?

Ranked Seasons and Rewards

The ranked games are divided into special seasons, lasting between 8 and 12 weeks. The exact length will be determined by Blizzard. The first season starts with the release of the new league structure on June 15.

The currently existing structures thus represent the pre-season, and diligent players will be assigned a corresponding rank based on their performance and receive rewards, which we will present in the table below. Additionally, there will be epic rewards in each respective season, separated by hero and team leagues. So, it’s worth playing in both leagues to reap double rewards!

Rewards from the Pre-Season

Depending on your previous status in the ranked matches, the following rewards can be earned.

Ranks	Hero League
1	· 4,000 Gold · Elemental Wolf mount · Epic Elemental Wolf mount · Special portrait
5-2	· 3,500 Gold · Elemental Wolf mount · Epic Elemental Wolf mount · Special portrait
10-6	· 3,000 Gold · Elemental Wolf mount · Epic Elemental Wolf mount · Special portrait
20-11	· 2,500 Gold · Elemental Wolf mount · Special portrait
30-21	· 2,000 Gold · Elemental Wolf mount · Special portrait
40-31	· 1,500 Gold · Special portrait
50-41	· Special portrait

The Division: 300k SPS – Damage Dealer Build for PvE and PvP

Tom Rothstein 11. May 2016 Reading time 4 minutes

In The Division, we introduce an agent with a DD build that deals over 300,000 damage per second.

The YouTuber Schorri TV presents his build in a new video: It is an offensive damage dealer that exceeds the magical threshold of 300k and is applicable in both PvE and PvP. We take a closer look at this build.

DD Build with over 300k DPS in The Division

Many agents wonder how to even reach such spheres above 300k DPS. Some are still struggling with the 200k barrier.

Schorri TV focuses not only on DPS but also on health points and armor in his DD build, allowing him to not only deal a lot of damage but also to take some bullets. This enables him to adopt an offensive play style. However, the skill power suffers significantly as a result.

The values in detail:

DPS: 304,300; Weapons: 3112
Health Points: 78,870; Stamina: 2629
Skill Power: 5,350; Electronics: 535

These weapons are used

The following weapons are in use for the DD build:

AUG A3 Para XS (Submachine gun): This weapon is the primary weapon of the YouTuber, with which he is very satisfied. It has the talents Brutal (headshot damage increased by 24.5%), Malicious (critical hit chance at full health increased by 13.5%) and Careful (eliminating a target has a chance of 23.5% to refill the magazine). Thanks to his mods, the AUG has a fire rate of 912 and a magazine size of 49. For the offensive play style, it supposedly deals “a lot of damage,” according to the YouTuber.
ACR Tactical (Assault rifle): This weapon is currently the secondary weapon with the talents Resilient (killing a target increases health points by 6%), Vindictive (damage increases based on missing health) and Receptive (distance under 10 meters to the target increases damage by 13.5%). With this weapon, he is not entirely satisfied yet, but it is indeed solid in both PvE and PvP. SPM: 968, Mag: 57.
Additionally, he has the marksman rifle M1A Series 1 with him, but he is not fully happy with this one yet. He still needs to work on it. Info about the M1A Series 1 in The Division can be found here.

These are the armor pieces

As armor pieces, Schorri TV specifically relies on a High-End Operator Vest in PvP, which increases weapons by 820 with two mod slots, provides 1,508 armor and features the talent Ruthless.

Moreover, he plays with three gear set pieces of the Striker and two of the Watcher. This provides him with +20% enemy armor damage, +50% critical hit damage, and 30% more headshot damage. He forgoes the unique talents of the gear sets in PvP. The YouTuber does not see this combination as a set solution, but for himself, he has found it to be the best variant.

For PvE, he removes the high-end vest and instead uses the “Watcher” vest, which allows him to deal an additional 20% damage against elites. However, his PvE equipment also depends on how his squad members are equipped. He recommends: Coordinate with your buddies.

Armor and Health Points in the DD Build

High DPS values are not much use if you cannot take damage yourself and find yourself looking at the radishes from below after just a few shots. A high armor value is recommended here. Look for items and mods that grant armor bonuses so you can get close to 65%. This value can be seen in the character stats under the category “Survivability”. 65% is the maximum.

Without a high armor value, your health points will be depleted faster than you can appreciate. To boost health points, you need items that improve stamina. Only with a combination of high stamina and high health points can you take many bullets.

These are the talents and skills of the 300k DPS build in PvP

These skills are used in PvP:

First Aid with doping syringe mod
Turret with taser mod
As an individual skill the Survivor Link

Since skill power is neglected in this build, these skills are not very effective.

These are the chosen talents for PvP:

Adrenaline
Rescue Medicine
On the Move
One is None (however, this talent is still bugged until update 1.2)

You can also watch this build in the following video. Here is the video from Schorri TV:

Destiny: Weapons Master brings two God Roll Scouts on 11.5 – Cocytus, Tuonela

Schuhmann 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Banshee-44 arrives in the Tower today and brings new weapons.

If you build a good relationship with Banshee-44, the Gunsmith in Destiny, you will gain higher ranks and ultimately contracts, which lead to exotic weapons. It’s worth it!

Here are the prototypes this week

To gain reputation with Banshee, you need to try these prototypes this week.

With a Hand Cannon from Häkke, you should achieve double kills.
A Hand Cannon from Omolon must be used against Vex.
Suros provides you with a Pulse Rifle, which you should also try against Vex.
A Shotgun from Häkke aims to collect kills in the Crucible.
A Sniper Rifle from Omolon is targeting Fallen Captains.

These weapons can be ordered this week

The Scout Rifle Suros DIS-43 is almost a Sniper Rifle with high range. An interesting weapon, even if not outstanding.
Once again, the Häkke Pulse Rifle Lyudmila-D is available. An exciting choice after the April patch. The damage increased by 3%.
The PDX-41 is also a Pulse Rifle, but a completely different type, focusing more on finesse perks and can achieve high stability.
The Rocket Launcher JLB-42 is likely of little interest to anyone right now. There was just the Killer Rocket Launcher at Iron Banner and overall the various Rocket Launchers don’t differ much from each other: Kaboom is just Kaboom. With the right perks, you can be satisfied with that.
The Sniper Rifle Tamar-D is the last weapon today. Revive kills are now possible with the 22-impact sniper. Such a weapon could establish itself in the new meta.

These weapons can be picked up this week

Guardians rave about two weapons that have come with Godrolls this week. If you still have one of the two Scouts lying around, you can hit the jackpot this week.

These are the Scout Rifle Cocytus SR4. It comes with Triple, Fireball, and Hand-Laid Stock.

The Tuonela, another Scout Rifle, also comes with Triple and Fireball, as well as a Rifled Barrel for more range.

You can find the rolls for weapons from last week in this video: Arminius-D, Suros Ari-45, Suros JLB-42, Suros JLB-47, Jinguko-D.

Paragon: Grim.exe – Small Goblin with Great Firepower

Pascal 11. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

In the MOBA Paragon, the next hero duo enters the arena. We present Grim.exe and review the changes to the supporters Muriel, Dekker, and Gadget.

G.T.F.O. – Ultimate ability with devastating effect

On Tuesday, a new character was introduced in the weekly update of the MOBA Paragon. Whether the little flying goblin Grim, who operates the massive gun on two legs, has to compensate for something or simply wants to enter the fight for Agora with high firepower is unclear.

However, he has a useful weapon in the Ranger. This can generate a temporary shield that blocks the next incoming ability. With the displacement explosion, opponents can be pushed away from him or into allied towers.

Link to the YouTube content

If Grim.exe gets too close to enemies or tries to escape from his range, the suppression mode of his pulse cannon causes a slow with every hit. And to finish off the wounded opponents, he activates his ultimate ability, the G.T.F.O.

Those who have a decent command of English might consider the abbreviation to be a crude insult. However, it refers to a Gyro Targeted Force Orb, a homing projectile that pierces all objects and units that are not heroes.

paragon-muriel — Muriel’s wings have been slightly trimmed

Support Buffs and Nerfs in Paragon

The three support ladies from the gas station, Dekker, Gadget, and Muriel, have undergone some changes. For example, the cooldown of Dekker’s stasis bomb is now reduced with each level up. Enemy heroes that enter its area of effect are additionally stunned.

Additionally, the safety fence, her ultimate ability, which temporarily traps enemies and allies in a small arena, lasts one second longer at levels 2 and 3. These modifications are intended to make Dekker generally more interesting for players.

paragon-dekker — Dekker – the often underestimated supporter

As for Gadget, who uses technical tricks, her sticky mine received increased damage, range, and a shorter detonation time. The flying drone was also strengthened. In return, her speed gate received a nerf.

Its duration is shorter in comparison, the cooldown is higher, and additionally, the movement speed bonus granted is lower. Therefore, allies should pay attention to pass Gadget’s speed gate in time to catch fleeing enemies and give them a proper beating.

paragon-gadget — Gadget vaguely resembles Gaige from Borderlands 2

And finally, Muriel, the metallic mascot of Paragon, who provided the most fun for support class friends. Her wings were slightly trimmed.

While the slow effect on enemy heroes from her ability “Equanimity” now increases with ascending level, “Zeal” now provides less shield for her and allies, and her ultimate ability has completely lost the additional shield for team members after it lands.

Therefore, you should ensure that you have enough mana after activation to play “Blessed Ground” to provide your team members with a protective advantage.

Complaining Wednesday: “Noobs!” – Betas and the friendly atmosphere

Cortyn 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The long weekend of the open beta of Overwatch is over and, overall, I had as much fun with my friends as I haven’t had in a long time in a game. However, even the most beautiful experiences always come with a few negative points that have regularly annoyed me. And who would have thought? It’s again people who drive me up the virtual wall!

Always these “Noobs” in the Betas! Scandal!

“Omg, noobs, don’t choose [any hero here]” – On one hand, I can completely understand that some heroes are really not optimal in certain situations (an attacker team with two Widowmaker most likely doesn’t need a third). But can’t that be expressed more kindly?

How on earth does one come up with the glorious idea of calling other players “Noobs” on the first evening of a beta? Nearly 90% of the players were able to check the game out for the first time that day – what else could they possibly be? Fully trained eSports professionals with a degree in “360° no scope” and a diploma for “ez, rekt” spamming?

Such statements are particularly uplifting, of course, when they come from teammates who themselves are just chasing kills and consider the “Map Objectives” something pretty disgusting that should definitely be avoided.

Presumably, these experiences are also due to the “don’t care” attitude that many people have when they haven’t even bought a game yet. They run no risk of losing anything for bad behavior, so they can behave like an axe in the forest without worries.

The 30-Minute Experts

A second point that massively annoyed me was all the so-called “experts” who, after half a day in the beta, already unpacked their professional knowledge and exactly knew which character was “completely overpowered” and which was “way too weak”.

bastion overwatch — Bastion is, by the way, way too strong and invincible. – Oh wait, not anymore.

Ah, why am I even getting worked up? Starting May 24th, I’ll surely do it again – because then the “Noobs!” screamers will reappear and misbehave towards the newcomers again.

LoL: Schalke is not buying an LCS spot – but wants to be in eSport

Patrick Freese 11. May 2016 Reading time < 1 minutes

Although Schalke 04 has not yet purchased a spot in the LCS, they plan to use the Schalke stadium for League of Legends (LoL) events.

After the Esport Observer announced a few days ago that the football club FC Schalke 04 has bought a spot in the League of Legends tournament LCS, there was now a statement from FC Schalke 04.

Schalke has been involved in eSports for a while!

Dota Event Live — Dota 2 – The International 2014

The eSport Kicker inquired with Schalke 04 whether the rumors about the purchase of a spot in the LCS for LoL were true. This could not be confirmed by Anja Kleine-Wilde, the head of corporate communications at FC Schalke 04, but it was stated that they have been dealing with eSports for some time. They can particularly imagine large-scale events in the Veltins Arena.

That large eSport tournaments are held in football stadiums is nothing new. In 2014, the World Championship in League of Legends was held at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, where fans could cheer for their idols live on site. However, it is still unclear whether the Veltins Arena will become a venue for such events or simply be used for public viewing.

Overwatch: Siegesraten – Wer gewann öfter? Verteidiger oder Angreifer?

Cortyn 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

What are the win rates between attackers and defenders in Overwatch? Blizzard releases interesting figures.

Newcomers defend better, pros attack stronger

The Game Director of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan, has published some interesting data on the win rates in the attack maps. The goal on the maps as attackers is to capture 2 control points from the opposing team sequentially. The defending team must, in turn, prevent this.

For the three maps of this game mode, the win rates are as follows:

Temple of Anubis: Attackers win 48.9% – Defenders win 51.1%
Hanamura: Attackers win 48.4% – Defenders win 51.2%
Volskaya Industries: Attackers win 46.5% – Defenders win 53.5%

Kaplan explains that these figures mainly apply to newcomers. With increasing player experience, the win rates would change, giving attackers a slight advantage.

Kaplan sees this (slight) imbalance among newcomers primarily in the fact that Overwatch does not sufficiently explain to players how to handle difficult situations. Particular chokepoints pose challenges for players on the maps.

“In Overwatch, you can use abilities to break through chokepoints instead of standing still and fighting your way through.”

Another reason is that players initially may not know how to counter defensive heroes, such as Mei, Bastion, or Torbjörn. For the future, they plan to provide players with more tips to better prepare them against such threats.

WoW: Legion – Ein Reittier für 2 Millionen Gold

Cortyn 11. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

With Legion, World of Warcraft gets a rather expensive mount. A whopping 2,000,000 Gold needs to change hands.

The most expensive mount in World of Warcraft

Just recently, we reported that the gold cap in World of Warcraft: Legion will be raised. Blizzard didn’t wait long and implemented a new vendor in the game who takes advantage of this gold cap. The NPC “The Mad Merchant” has several items for sale, and their prices are quite steep.

250,000 Gold: Prismatic Bauble – A toy that momentarily follows the player with a rainbow trail
500,000 Gold: Madman’s Luggage – A 34-slot bag
1,000,000 Gold: Celestial Calf, a shimmering hippopotamus (Battle-Pet)
2,000,000 Gold: Bloodfang Widow Mount – a large spider mount

Many players of the Alpha version of Legion have now complained about these prices in the forum. Especially the expensive mount is an eyesore for them. Many refer to this vendor simply as a “gold sink” in order for Blizzard to combat inflation and remove currency from the game.

In the official forum, they addressed this vendor and clarified: The “Mad Merchant” is not a gold sink, but merely an exclusive reward for a certain group of players.

“If we wanted to take as much gold as possible from the players, we would have set the prices differently. If the mount only cost 200,000 gold, then significantly more than ten times the number of players would buy this mount. The purpose of this mount is to be absurdly expensive, just as the Time-Lost Proto-Drake was absurdly rare.”

Wow Gold Bank — Whoever wants the mount should have ideally started farming gold three years ago.

They also delve deeper into the criticism that the mount was only made for a small minority of players.

“Almost every facet of World of Warcraft consists of activities that are created for a minority of players. It may sound strange at first, but it is true. Part of what makes the magic of WoW is that it is not a straightforward game, but one that can be played in many different ways. A minority of players raid. A minority of players engage in PvP. A tiny minority raid mythic. A tiny minority participate in rated PvP. A minority has multiple characters at max level. A minority plays pet battles, role playing, sells things in the auction house, and so on. (…)”

And yet: this collection of minorities is in the truest sense of the word World of Warcraft.

The price of this mount is unlikely to change. It is meant to be exclusive for the players who have set the goal of accumulating as much gold as possible. Let the farming begin.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 announced for 2017 – “Larger, better worlds”

Schuhmann 11. May 2016 Reading time < 1 minutes

Electronic Arts has announced another Star Wars Battlefront for 2017.

Star Wars Battlefront was one of the brightest highlights in Electronic Arts’ financial report. Ultimately, 14 million units of the online shooter were sold. Particularly important for EA: 15% of the buyers were new to the EA ecosystem.

With such numbers, it is not surprising that they are announcing a new Battlefront for the “next year.” It is not entirely clear whether EA means the calendar “next year,” that is, 2017, or the “fiscal next year” 2017, as that has already begun for EA. But one can probably assume the “calendar year.” Then we can expect Star Wars Battlefront in 2017.

As EA CFO Blake Jorgensen stated, Battlefront 2 is supposed to have “larger and better worlds.” And it will include gameplay content from “the new movies.” The first Battlefront only offered content from the original film trilogy.

The next “main” Star Wars film Episode VIII is set to hit theaters at Christmas 2017. That would also be a logical date for Star Wars Battlefront 2 – or whatever the game will be called.

WoW: Legion – Die Beta beginnt!

Cortyn 10. May 2016 Reading time < 1 minutes

World of Warcraft: Legion is transitioning from Alpha to Beta. We have the exact date for you.

The Beta for World of Warcraft: Legion starts on May 12

The upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, Legion, has been in closed Alpha testing for several months. Blizzard has now announced that the development of the addon has progressed to the point where it is transitioning from Alpha to Beta.

In the developer livestream, it was revealed today that the Beta for World of Warcraft: Legion will begin on May 12 at 11:00 PM our time.

All participants of the Alpha version are allowed to join this test. New invitations for the Beta will be sent out in the coming days. As usual, there will be multiple waves. Anyone who wants to have a chance to join the Beta should indicate this in their Battle.net account.

For all who were already in the Alpha, this means a reset of the characters – game data will be deleted and all Beta participants must start “fresh” with a level 100 character.

For more news and articles related to Legion, you can find them on our World of Warcraft game page.

Im Sandbox-MMO Exile Online geht der Cyberpunk ab!

Andreas Bertits 10. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

MMORPGs do not always have to take place in fantasy worlds. How about the cyberpunk scenario of the MMO Exile Online?

Exile Online places you in the world of Erebus, ruled by megacorporations. The scenario is comparable to those of the movies Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, or Total Recall, as well as the game Deus Ex or the comic Akira. Additionally, there are aliens that also inhabit the world and intelligent machines.

Free Hero Development

You create a hero based on eleven skill categories, each further divided into ten so-called tiers. This allows you to freely determine how your hero should develop. It is said that over time, you will be able to learn and master every skill. With your hero, you set out to explore the vast, dystopian world. Along the way, you will encounter many factions that you can join and for which you can complete missions.

However, since Exile Online is a sandbox, you will have the freedom to choose your path in the dark world. You may acquire a house and decorate it according to your wishes, you can craft and sell items, or you can venture into the world in search of monsters to defeat. It will be possible for your actions to shape the world. Battles (both in PvE and PvP) are indeed an important pillar of the game, but no one will be forced to participate in skirmishes. You can also live your virtual life as a trader or crafter and even lead a megacorporation if you get that far.

The Cyberspace Awaits

The cyberpunk scenario of the MMORPG is calling for a cyberspace. You will be able to visit it in Exile Online. In the Cybernet, you embody a different avatar and can act in a virtual world. Your actions will then even affect the real world.

Exile Online is to be financed via a Kickstarter campaign. By June 7, the developers want to raise at least £30,000.

Overwatch: Beta beendet! – Wie und wann geht es weiter?

Cortyn 10. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The open beta of Overwatch has ended. But what is next for the game? When can we play again?

If you are reading this, then the open beta of Overwatch has just concluded (7:00 PM, May 10). For nearly 6 days, players around the world could take a peek into the hero shooter, open loot boxes, and wrestle with the decision of whether the game is worth the full price.

Conclusion: The beta was solid, with only minor issues

In conclusion, it can be said that the beta of Overwatch has made a significant impact. In forums and social media, the feedback has been predominantly positive, and interest in the game is skyrocketing – sometimes even in places where it was least expected. However, it was clear from the start that this beta was purely a promotion – if Blizzard wanted to test anything, it was only the server structure and whether it could handle the masses of players.

Nevertheless, the open beta also showed that there are still some minor issues. Occasionally, servers were spontaneously shut down or significant lag made the game a torturous experience for both sides. A rather amusing bug occurred where players suddenly found themselves in the enemy team’s spawn room at the beginning of a match – much to the amusement of both teams. The decision to delete unlocked skins and other cosmetic upgrades after the beta caused some unease among players. Those who have scored a cool skin for their favorite character can only hope to draw it again soon in the live version from a loot box.

When is the release of Overwatch?

For those who wanted to sneak a peek into the game for free, the fun is now officially over. The servers of Overwatch will reopen on May 24, when the game officially celebrates its release for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. However, you will need to purchase the game.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

And what comes after the release?

Also for the future, Blizzard has announced that they will support the game. They promise that new heroes, maps, and game modes will be released over the coming months – these will be free. They promise an “exciting summer” for all players, even though no specific details have been provided so far. The only certainty is that the ranked mode will return. This was playable in the closed beta but did not really please either the developers or the players – improvements will be made, and then it will be reintroduced.

Those who can’t get enough of Overwatch before the release should also check out our article on the game’s background story or our guides to Reinhardt or Lucio.

Empyrean entwickeln MMORPGs, die man durchspielen kann

Andreas Bertits 10. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

MMORPGs that you can complete? How is that supposed to work? The new developer studio Empyrean Interactive aims to answer that.

Themepark MMOs usually have a problem: You want to tell an exciting story through quests, but in principle, the actions of the players have no impact. Everyone completes the same missions, kills the same enemies, experiences the same story that never comes to a conclusion because the evil final boss constantly respawns.

A MMO that you can complete

Empyrean wants to change this by allowing you to truly complete the story in an MMO world. How exactly this will work is yet to be specified by the developers. In principle, these are adventures experienced cooperatively with other players, taking place in a large, persistent online world.

Whether this means that you experience a story in a group like in a single-player RPG, complete this story, and then wait for new content is unclear, but it would somehow make sense. You should focus on exploring the world, engaging in exciting battles, and completing quests during the adventures. This way, you will either win or lose in the end.

Concentrated experience

It should be clear from who works at this developer studio, that not just a few people are at work here with a vision they do not know how to implement. On board are former employees of well-known studios such as Riot, Red 5, Turbine, Blizzard, Trion, 38 Studios, and Valve.

The games they are currently planning are not referred to as MMORPGs, but as Persistent Cooperative Adventures (PCAs). To realize this idea, the founders of Empyrean, Geoff Virtue (Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft) and Joe Piepiora (Wildstar), are currently looking for investors.

It will be interesting to see how the PCAs will play out. Online games where you can truly experience a story with impact and an ending sound intriguing.

Black Desert zeigt die Awakening-Waffe der Maewha (und kurzen Blick auf den Ninja)

Schuhmann 10. May 2016 Reading time < 1 minutes

In Black Desert, the new Awakening weapons of the Maewha are being showcased.

In Korea, Black Desert has developed significantly further than it has in the West. The big feature that they already have, but we do not yet, is the “Awakening Weapons.” Individual classes receive an alternative weapon relatively late in their development, along with a different play style. This is a significant change in gameplay, a so-called game-changer.

One of the classes still waiting for its Awakening weapon is the Maewha, previously known as Plum or female Blader. What their Awakening weapon looks like is shown in this video:

The update is set to be deployed in Korea later this week. At the very end of the video, there is also a glimpse of the Ninja. This is one of the two classes that are still completely missing in Europe. The video shows its Awakening form. It is said to be able to wield multiple swords at once, like a classic Asian swordsman.

We should receive Ninja and Kunoichi, the last 2 classes, in the coming months. The Awakening system should not take long to arrive either.

The Division: “Authority of the Tactician” – Is this set worth it?

Tom Rothstein 10. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, we present the gear set “Tactician’s Authority” and ask: Is this set worth it in practice?

When it comes to choosing gear sets, many agents recommend the “Watch’s Call” set. Perhaps combined with a few pieces of the Striker’s gear or other items with nice bonuses.

In contrast, the “Tactician’s Authority” set is not considered the top choice when discussing “the best set” in The Division. Some players even claim in forums that this gear set from Massive is poorly thought out. Is that true, or is the Tactician’s Authority simply underestimated?

What Makes the “Tactician’s Authority” Stand Out in The Division

The “Tactician’s Authority” set consists of a total of six pieces. You can acquire these in the raid “Falcon Lost”, in the Dark Zone, in daily missions in Challenge Mode, and from the special equipment vendor in the Operations Base. We have detailed the exact locations of the set pieces in The Division here.

Each individual armor piece of the Tactician’s Authority grants you specific bonuses. If you have multiple pieces of this set equipped, additional bonuses will be unlocked. Starting with 4 set pieces, a unique talent is activated, which can only be obtained through the Tactician’s Authority.

2 Pieces: +4000 Skill Power
3 Pieces: +20% Haste (this reduces the cooldown of skills)
4 Pieces: Talent “Tactician’s Authority”: After causing a total of 60k damage as a group, you gain 1% skill strength, up to a maximum bonus of 100%. However, the bonus decreases by 1% each second as long as the group does not cause any more damage.

At first glance, this is an excellent set for skill power builds, allowing you to use your skills even more efficiently. However, there is a catch to this, which many agents criticize.

“Tactician’s Authority” is Not Suitable for Skill Power Builds

The problem is: Beyond certain skill power values, skills are not further improved. For many skills, the maximum is reached at about 45k skill strength: The effect of the skill does not increase any further, and the cooldown time does not decrease.

This means: Every additional skill point becomes useless. If your agent is already fully invested in skill strength, this set with its advantages is of no use to you anymore. Therefore, many users criticize that they cannot specialize in the support role in The Division. There simply is no gear set that could advance this build.

Other agents, however, praise this set, like the YouTuber ThePwnstar4hire. He must also admit that the Tactician’s Authority cannot further improve a skill power build, but it does open up many more options.

For example, you can increasingly focus on the stamina attribute, but thanks to the unique talent “Tactician’s Authority”, you can also enjoy the benefits of high skill power. The set thus offers hybrid solutions.

However, the talent only shines when you play in a group and consistently deal damage. Only then can you maintain the skill power bonus at a high level. If you are playing solo, this set is likely less useful.

On one hand, you can focus on the attributes firearms and stamina with the Tactician’s Authority, but you do not have to give up skill strength. On the other hand, however, this set does not help you improve your already strong skill power build.

What do you think of the Tactician’s Authority?

In this article, we present the “Watch’s Call” set in The Division .

Having your own headquarters as a drug lord or jewel dealer in GTA 5 Online – that should soon be possible!

With a large post about upcoming changes to GTA 5 Online, Rockstar Games has once again made many friends. They have taken a close look at the latest updates and the criticism regarding them and want to continue accommodating players. Although they haven’t said anything about a biker DLC in GTA 5 Online, there are other highlights that definitely make the wait worthwhile.

A business with smuggled goods in GTA 5

The chapter “Executives and Other Criminals” where you could previously become a VIP and lead an organization will soon give you the opportunity to build a business with smuggled goods. It doesn’t matter what you buy and sell – from drugs to jewels, anything is possible. You will work with your team in new headquarters and warehouses to run your business. But be careful when leaving the houses with your team to fetch new goods… something could always go wrong.

New stunt opportunities for the GTA 5 racers

Get ready for a big update for Grand Theft Auto, opening doors to entirely new racing or stunt worlds. There will be new stunt-capable vehicles and accessories so you can perfect this sport. There will also be new options for the creator mode, making stunt races even more interesting.
