Overwatch ist ein Team-Spiel – Gameplay ist mit Freunden komplett anders als alleine

Cortyn 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The gameplay of Overwatch changes massively through friends. Absurd tactics and a hell of a fun are in the foreground.

Absurd ideas in Overwatch are twice as fun with friends

When I first reported on Overwatch a few months ago, I was quite skeptical. Alone, the game was entertaining, but it could never really convince me – plain and simple because I was only relying on “nameless randoms”.

But obviously, it applies what always applies to Blizzard games: Alone is not really the deal, with friends it is a great pleasure. It is amazing how much the gameplay of Overwatch changes when you simply go into battle with 3 friends. Especially absurd and funny tactics (4-6 Tracers in the team or 4-6 Reinhardts) completely change the game feeling. When the big blue wall of shields slowly marches towards the opponents, it may not be the most effective way, but definitely the funniest. Especially funny is a combination of Roadhog and 2-3 Symmetras. The ladies with the organizational obsession fill a small room with their turrets and Roadhog then simply stands in the room to pull anyone “innocent” in with his hook. You can repeat that approximately every 8 seconds and it quickly becomes a running gag – both for the opposing team and your own.

Almost just as silly is a combination of 4-6 D.Vas, all saving their ultimate ability for the same moment – with that, you can almost cover the whole map in a devastating explosion, which (at least temporarily) leads to a rather empty battlefield.

Sure, these methods are not necessarily particularly effective, but they are fun and that for both sides, because it is so delightfully absurd (quite the opposite of 6 Torbjörns – nobody has fun there). The combination of absurd tactics, paired with friends on Skype or Teamspeak makes Overwatch already in the open beta a pretty good entertainment. Overwatch is, when played with friends, a completely different game than alone. That will certainly change as soon as the ranked mode is introduced, but even then you can still have a lot of fun in quickmatch – the gameplay and the playstyles of the heroes in Overwatch change massively when you go into battle with friends.

Blizzard’s plan to generate massive interest in the game through the open beta seems – at least when I look around in my private environment – to be completely working. The last time we had so much fun as a group in a shooter was in Left 4 Dead 2 – and that involved zombies and exploding heads.

For more news and articles about Blizzard’s hero shooter, you can find it on our Overwatch game page. There you will also find further articles on the beta.

In the coming weeks, they plan to further present the expansion. It is expected for summer 2016.

In recent years, the original Enterprise has experienced a renaissance. After a successful cinema reboot, a TV series is now planned to be aired weekly. The MMORPG Star Trek Online had, in recent months, possibly been working towards this storyline twist with a time travel story.

Albion Online: Es geht zauberhaft weiter mit einer neuen Welt

Andreas Bertits 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of the MMORPG Albion Online have released a new video discussing the upcoming Darian update and Beta Phase 2.

The Darian update will introduce a lot of new spells to the MMORPG Albion Online. This aims to enhance the battles. Currently, they are attempting to create new concepts and possibilities for the fights with the new spells and are experimenting a lot. Among them are area spells like a fire roll that rolls towards enemies and ignites anyone it touches.

Many revisions

Additionally, work is currently underway on a revision of the Morgana faction in the game. With the Darian update, they will revise the mobs, give them new abilities, and introduce new creatures. The revisions aim to make the battles more dynamic, so that there is more movement in the game and opponents do not just stand face to face. Creatures will now also drop special decoration items that belong to the opponent’s faction. This allows players to decorate their area accordingly.

A new world

With Beta Phase 2, they will introduce the new world that is currently being built. For this, they have hired new level designers who are currently creating the new game world of the MMO. Beta Phase 2 is set to begin this summer. The new world will be divided into five biomes, including mountains, highlands, steppes, forests, and swamps. Work has now begun on creating the swamp biome. Everything is being completely revamped, and they will not revise old maps but rather recreate the world from scratch. Each biome is intended to feel different, play differently, and have its own characteristics.

Moreover, they are working on the game economy by allowing items to be dismantled to discover how they were made, instead of simply selling them. You can watch the interesting video with the developers about all the upcoming changes to the MMORPG Albion Online directly here:

Tom Rothstein 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The Division: Ist der Effekt des Taktischen Scanners stapelbar?

Tom Rothstein 5. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, we take a closer look at the Pulse skill.

Many agents use the Pulse in The Division with the “Tactical Scanner” mod to deal more damage to marked enemies. We want to take a detailed look at this skill as it offers advantages that some agents may not have noticed yet. Additionally, we will explore the question: Is the Pulse effect stackable?

This is the Pulse in The Division

The Pulse is a skill from the Medical branch, which is available to agents early in the game. You can send out a pulse that marks enemies and allies through walls and cover. The base effect alone is useful to ensure you don’t suddenly find yourself amidst enemies. Additionally, you gain an increased chance for critical hits on the marked target. The damage from critical hits also increases.

Once you have unlocked the Master Mod, the Pulse gains additional permanent benefits: it gives early warnings when enemies are nearby and determines if the user is detected by an enemy Pulse.

The early warning is indicated by the Pulse icon lighting up red. The faster it flickers, the closer the threat is. In the following image, you can see the icon lighting up:

If you are marked by enemies with a Pulse, you will notice small squares on your agent’s body. If the squares are white, you have been scanned by a neutral agent; if they are red, you are on an enemy’s radar:

If you upgrade the quarantine in the Medical wing of the Base of Operations, three modifications will be available to you:

Pulse Amplifier: The pulse has a greater range (80m) and can additionally locate nearby loot crates. This mod is likely used by very few agents, but it can be useful when you want to farm materials and don’t have a fixed route for it yet.
Disruptor: The Pulse protects the user and all allies from enemy Pulses. This benefit can be used both preventively and reactively: even after you have been scanned, you can shake off the marking. This mod is particularly effective in the Dark Zone: if you are marked, you can escape from pursuers more easily. Additionally, it allows you to turn the tables: remove your marking, scan the other player, and gain advantages over them.
Tactical Scanner: Damage increases when attacking enemy targets identified by the Pulse. This mod is considered the favorite of most agents, as “More damage is always good.” But is this damage bonus stackable if multiple agents in the squad use the Tactical Scanner?

The Tactical Scanner’s effect does not stack

The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming sought an answer to this question and came to the disappointing conclusion: No, the damage bonus is not stackable. However, the Pulse works on a principle that may lead some agents to believe otherwise:

If an agent activates the Tactical Scanner, the damage bonus is increased.
If another squad member with higher skill strength (making the effect of the Tactical Scanner stronger) then activates the Pulse, the skill of the other agent expires: now the better Tactical Scanner is active.

In other words:

The effect of the Tactical Scanner is not stackable; the better one simply overrides the worse one.

Arekkz Gaming reached this conclusion through a self-experiment with some friends, who examined this effect in various scenarios. You can watch the video below:

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare: SF-Trailer bekommt massenweise Dislikes

Tom Rothstein 5. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

Fans are not happy with what they see in the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reveal trailer.

YouTube is not exactly known as a place of decency or a venue for intelligent, fruitful discussions. There will always be haters who want to attract ridicule, scorn, and attention with dislikes and provocative comments. That is clear. Even with reveal trailers of new games, hate is often thrown around; however, the fans of the upcoming game are usually in the majority, so the positive ratings far outweigh the negative ones – at least if the trailer is well received.

However, with the “CoD: Infinite Warfare” reveal trailer, it looks different: There’s an avalanche of bad ratings. Currently, nearly 300,000 users have given it a thumbs down, and dozens more join every minute. The gaming site Kotaku is even already talking about a mass dislike campaign against the upcoming installment of the series.

Space setting in Infinite Warfare? Not well received

The space setting does not appeal to many fans. They prefer hardcore battles on the ground. Covered in blood and dirt with a big gun in hand. Done. No silly planet hopping.

The footage in the video has nothing to do with Call of Duty; according to some users, it resembles Destiny more. Different expectations are placed on a CoD. It should rather stay true to its roots. The graphics also draw ridicule, as they were already better in last-gen.

The “Modern Warfare” remake, on the other hand, is much better received in the community; however, many fans can hardly believe that the remastered version can only be purchased alongside Infinite Warfare. Certainly also a reason why the “Like” bar below the video tends heavily to the left.

Redditor ImLuddx has summarized the reactions to the various Call of Duty trailers in a graphic – he did this yesterday, at that time the reactions to the Infinite Warfare trailer were already bad, but still much more forgiving than today:

On the other hand, the trailer at least pleases nearly 177,000 shooter fans. There is still some time until the launch, and one can expect that many feelings will have calmed down by then and they will have gotten used to the space setting. After all, nothing is as hot as it is cooked.

infinite-warfare-gesicht — A satisfied face looks different

The next big reveals for Infinite Warfare are expected at E3 in June. Perhaps the developers will share some information then so that the new CoD part is not “mass-disliked” by fans anymore.

Here are some details on the “Modern Warfare” remastered version.

Chronicles of Elyria: Kickstarter campaign for unusual MMORPG has begun

Andreas Bertits 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The promising MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is seeking financial support, which is why the Kickstarter campaign has now been launched.

The developers are looking to raise 900,000 USD to at least realize the basic game. Additionally, there are other funding sources. The founder of Soulbound Studios sold an inherited property, where he wanted to build his dream house, and invested the money into the game’s development.

The Kickstarter campaign is going well

The Kickstarter campaign started on May 3, and already today, on May 5, over 400,000 dollars have been raised. So it actually looks quite good, as the campaign runs until June 3. However, the cash flow usually drops significantly after the first few days and only picks up again towards the end of the campaign. Therefore, reaching the funding goal is not yet certain.

If you are interested in the MMO, you have the opportunity to financially support the developers. There are various amounts you can give. Depending on the amount, you will get access to the game once it starts, including a “Spark of Life,” which represents a life in the game, or you will receive an exclusive pet or access to the beta.

Sandbox, dynamic story, and skill

Chronicles of Elyria wants to mix a sandbox with story, where the quests are not predefined by the developers as in other MMORPGs, where basically everyone does the same quests, levels up to the same maximum level, and nothing is special because everyone has done the same thing. Quests are dynamically generated and arise from situations or are assigned by other players when you need to complete something for them.

The skill and combat system focus on the skills and agility of the hero. The character will age and eventually die inevitably. Those who take more risks may die earlier. Then you buy a Spark of Life with real money to create a new character who inherits some abilities from the old one and becomes his successor.

Sparks of Life can also be purchased with story points, which you earn during adventures. PvP is generally possible everywhere, but it is illegal in cities and those who are caught will go to prison, wasting valuable life time.

Chronicles of Elyria is an ambitious game being developed by a small independent studio that cannot rely on the financial support of a large publisher. Therefore, it is dependent on the Kickstarter campaign.

Black Desert: Part 2 of the Mediah expansion is live with 3 new areas – It’s getting piratey

Cortyn 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

The second part of the Mediah update for Black Desert is live. We reveal to you what the patch has in store.

Plundering on the Kuit Islands

Since yesterday, May 4th, the latest patch for the western version of Black Desert Online is live. After maintenance the day before, players can now dive into new adventures.

The centerpiece of the “Mediah Part 2 Update” is the three new areas where players can complete many new quests and have adventures.

On the Kuit Islands, one must challenge the local pirates to take back the plundered treasures. Because plundering from plunderers is much more heroic.
In the Tungra Forest, many dangers lurk, and if one is not careful, “the landlubbers will finish off the players faster than scurvy.”
Lastly, there is the Hasrah Dungeon, a dark cave where the remains of ancient golems have been found. Because remains are usually not great dangers, players will likely discover some surprises here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5JtAMowKQw

Two Events until May 24

Additionally, the patch brought two new events with extra quest lines and rewards, both of which are active from May 4 to May 25.

As an introduction to the “pirate-themed” content, there is – as one would expect from true pirates – a Rum Search. Across the world, monsters can now leave behind rum bottles, which will then go into your inventory. Each bottle can either be consumed for a small buff or exchanged for rewards by NPC Shilly on the Kuit Islands. She has the following items on offer:

100 Rum – Pirate Flag (Home Decoration)
200 Rum – Pirate Eye Patch
300 Rum – Pirate Hat

For Mother’s Day, there is a special title “Motherlover” and a daily quest, where you must choose from one of two one-hour buffs as a reward. The “Heart Chocolate” improves many combat attributes, while the “Love Chocolate” gives bonuses to nearly all crafting-related attributes.

Destiny: Stolen Will – Sexy Shotgun with Possessed Look

Tom Rothstein 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

We present the legendary shotgun Stolen Will in the MMO shooter Destiny.

The Stolen Will is a shotgun that is highly coveted among many Guardians, not least because of its striking Taken design. Some users consider it one of the most beautiful weapons in the game. But can this sexy shotgun also perform in practice?

You can obtain the Stolen Will as a reward in the heroic Archon Priest Strike on Venus. However, you only have a chance at the weapon if you complete the Taken version of the Winter’s End Strike. The Stolen Will drops randomly as a “legendary engram” from the defeated priest.

What makes Stolen Will special in Destiny

The Stolen Will belongs to shotguns with a high rate of fire and low impact. The reload speed is excellent. Here are the specific stats:

destiny-gestohlener-wille-stats — Source: Bungie

Stolen Will can drop with Solar, Arc, or Void damage and comes with exclusively random perks. Highly recommended is Field Prep, which increases the weapon’s effectiveness. Generally, perks that compensate for the low range are useful. Keep an eye out for them.

Is Stolen Will worth it in PvE and PvP?

The Stolen Will is worth it for many Guardians, not least because of the Taken appearance, which definitely stands out and fits well with the “Dreadnaught Armor”. In PvE, it is praised by Guardians: thanks to the high rate of fire, you can effectively deal with both small enemies and big bosses. Since you don’t have to reload the weapon for long, you can quickly engage again.

In PvP, however, opinions about the Stolen Will differ. Some Guardians report that it is a lot of fun to run through the Crucible with it. It feels really good in the hand – the Taken style certainly contributes to that.

However, many users prefer shotguns with higher impact in PvP, like Partycrasher +1, so the Stolen Will may not be their first choice in the Crucible. Also, due to its low range, you will often come up short against other Guardians unless you can enhance it with appropriate perks.

Based solely on its stats, the shotgun Stolen Will is definitely not a new “overpowered weapon”, but it gains bonus points among Guardians due to its sexy appearance. If you want to roam the Destiny universe with it, you should primarily engage in PvE activities.

The Division: Compensation for the 2 biggest bugs is out

Tom Rothstein 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

Players affected by the “backpack bug” and the issue with missing agents have now received their compensations in The Division.

As Massive informs, with yesterday’s maintenance and the fix of the daily missions, the compensations have also been sent out to the agents affected by the most significant errors in The Division so far.

Apparently, the development team was able to identify the suffering users and provide them with compensation in the form of 500 Phoenix Credits and ten pieces of each high-end crafting material (including Division Tech).

Some agents are already reporting in the forums that they were able to successfully accept this compensation. They will be notified upon login that they can collect it from the rewards vendor in the operations base.

The backpack bug was probably the most well-known and significant error in The Division during the early days and weeks. Agents preferred to stay away from the backpacks in the game, fearing that they could lead to a lockout. According to Massive, the issue was caused by equipped mods from unused items, which caused the inventory problems leading to a lockout.

The missing agents issue occurred after update 1.1: A faulty server did not synchronize the character data properly, causing some players not to see their characters. Although the problem was resolved relatively quickly, all progress of the affected users had to be reset to the status before the update.

These annoyances have now been resolved, and the compensations have been sent out. Hopefully, this can be seen as a conclusion to these issues.

Blade & Soul: Goodbye, Moonwater Path

Cortyn 5. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

Blade & Soul takes away a weapon path from players – but nothing is lost. We will tell you what the changes mean.

The enhancement system for weapons is one of the characteristics of Blade and Soul. Instead of constantly exchanging weapons as in other MMORPGs, players in B&S continuously enhance theirs. Just as players have properly internalized the system, it is already changing.

The Moonwater Path for weapons will disappear in June at the highest ranks

In the coming weeks, there will be significant changes to weapon enhancement in Blade & Soul. Players currently have the option between two paths for upgrading their weapons – the Moonwater Path and the Silverfrost Path. On June 1, the last two ranks of the Moonwater Path (“the Siren” and “the Pirate”) will disappear.

The weapons themselves will not disappear. They will simply be redirected to the Silverfrost Path upon the next enhancement.

The changes are justified by the fact that for the highest ranks of the Moonwater Path one has to farm dungeons and content that do not correspond to the maximum level. This content is not particularly challenging and therefore not enjoyable. To ensure all players can experience the new areas of the Silverfrost Peaks, they are limiting the choice to this path. In the original version of the game, this was introduced much earlier.

A second reason is an upcoming event where players can obtain so-called “enhancement stones for fog weapons,” which can reduce the cost of an enhancement by 10-40%. Exact details about this event will be available in the coming weeks.

Gem Hammers and Compensation

Another change will take place on May 11, which primarily serves to enhance the players’ comfort. With gem hammers, it is possible to give weapons additional gem slots. However, it could happen that these slots were lost when enhancing the weapon. Although this was “planned” and corresponds to the original system, it caused frustration among many players.

For this reason, they are removing this disadvantage when enhancing and instead providing an additional chance to unlock extra slots. Players affected by the loss of slots will receive 4 additional hammers, which will be available after the maintenance on May 11.

Overwatch Guide: Die 4 besten Helden für Anfänger

Cortyn 5. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

We reveal to you in our beginner’s guide which heroes you can have fun with in Overwatch even as a beginner.

Which hero to choose at the beginning? 4 beginner-friendly heroes in Overwatch

If you have only played Blizzard games so far, you have not come into contact with FPS shooters. In Overwatch, which is currently in open beta, there are many playable heroes, but not all of them are equally suitable for beginners. We show you 4 characters with which you can quickly achieve success without a lot of shooter experience.

Reinhardt – Stable tank with a clear purpose

Every good team needs a character that can take some hits. Therefore, for fans of classic tanks, the German knight Reinhardt is a good choice. He is massive and thus an easy target – but that is exactly what he is supposed to be. With his blue shield, he can absorb a lot of fire for himself and his team without taking damage – friends can shoot through the barrier.

With his hammer, he dishes out heavy damage in close combat but can also hurl fireballs at enemies that penetrate all barriers. Finally, his ultimate stuns opponents in the targeted area for several seconds, making them easy prey for everyone. That he can charge and squish any “soft” character with a hit goes without saying, right?

Soldier: 76 – Offensive character with simple mechanics

Easy to understand and simple in its mechanics, the offensive hero Soldier: 76 is a great choice. If you’re coming from other shooters, you should pick this character, as his abilities are easy to understand and use. With his assault rifle, he deals high damage at medium range. Unlike other heroes, he can sprint indefinitely, making him quickly back in action.

As an ultimate ability, he has an integrated aimbot – for a few seconds, all his bullets will hit an enemy as long as they are roughly in Soldier: 76’s line of sight.

Symmetra – Support character without a demanding “healer role”

If you like to support your team but don’t want to be pushed into a classic healer role, you might be happy with Symmetra. She can grant all allies a shield that increases maximum hit points by 25 and regenerates quickly. Important chokepoints can be fortified with small turrets. If multiple of these are stacked in one place, many heroes will fall in a fraction of a second.

The damage of her weapon is not outstanding and only effective at close range, but it is homing – precise aiming with the crosshairs is not necessary. The ultimate, a teleporter for the entire team, shortens the travel times for all players.

Torbjörn – Defensive character with a powerful turret

If you like to secure points and play proactively, you’ll find an easy entry with Torbjörn. The tinkerer can build a turret anywhere, which he can then upgrade to level 2 with his hammer (which he should always do). The turret will automatically fire at enemies. From defeated enemies, you gain “scrap,” which can be converted into armor that benefits the entire team. The weapon has two firing modes for close and long-range combat, and the ultimate boosts both Torbjörn and his turret, which can turn the tide of many battles.

Despite these beginner heroes, you should remember that in Overwatch you can change your character after each death. Often it is also necessary to outsmart the enemy’s hero combination.

Update 02:40 AM: At least the region selection issue has been resolved. Restart the Battle.net client and you can set “Europe” as the region in the dropdown menu.

The open beta of Overwatch starts on May 5 at 1:00 AM

The long months of waiting come to an end tonight. Overwatch, the hero shooter from Blizzard, starts tonight, on May 5, 2016, at 1:00 AM, in the open beta.

This means: Everyone can try the game for free for almost 5 days to get a feel for it. The open beta will be accessible to all interested parties until May 9 at 7:00 PM, after which the game will disappear into its final break until the release on May 24.

What happens to the progress?

It is important to know that the progress made will not be carried over to the final version of the game. So, if you are currently opening loot boxes diligently and leveling up your player, you will lose this at the end of the beta. Blizzard wants all players to start “from zero” at the official release of the game and will therefore perform a reset of all accounts.

Overwatch Reaper Pose — Unlocked skins and poses will disappear after the beta.

How does the download work? Will my computer run Overwatch?

To play, the game must first be downloaded. But this is very easy.

On the PC, you just need to have the Battle.net launcher running and select the “Overwatch” menu item. The big button marked “Install” is hard to miss. However, you should check if your computer meets the minimum system requirements:

Operating System: Windows 7/8/10
CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD X3 8650
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, ATI Radeon HD 4850 or Intel HD Graphics 4400
RAM: 4GB RAM
HDD: 30GB of free hard disk space

On consoles, the process is only slightly more complicated. You just need to open the shop page of PlayStation 4 or Xbox One and search for “Overwatch”; you should find the entry “Overwatch: Open Beta”. Just select “Download” for this menu item, and after the download is complete, you can start playing the game.

Note that the download on PS4, Xbox One, and PC cannot start until 1:00 AM. And if you want to get off to a good start, be sure to read the following article: Overwatch Guide: The 4 Best Heroes for Beginners

If there are server problems tonight due to too many players trying to log in, we will keep you updated in this post.

Final Fantasy XIV: Nichts-Arche Stadt der Tränen, der nächste 24-Spieler-Raid

Andreas Bertits 4. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

Before new content can be introduced into an MMORPG like Final Fantasy XIV, it must be thoroughly tested. Especially a 24-player raid like the “City of Tears.”

With the upcoming update 3.3, the new “City of Tears” Nothing-arch is introduced into the MMO Final Fantasy XIV. Now, some programmers, as well as designers, community representatives, and even more members from the FFXIV team have been assigned to extensively test this upcoming content. After all, one wants to ensure that it is fun and not too difficult.

Explore the City of Tears

You will visit the City of Tears with update 3.3 as part of the Chronicles of a New Era. Together with the Red-berried, you will explore the city as the next target in the questline “Shadows of Mhach.” Mhach is a city from ancient legends. Its heyday lies aeons back.

Now, only ruins remain of it, which have been nested by hordes of monsters. Among them are very dangerous crocodiles with razor-sharp fangs. You will notice a peculiarity while exploring. The environment will noticeably change during the course of the adventure.

You will fight your way from the ruins to the center of Mhach and encounter many different creatures along the way. The raid stands out for its unique geometric design that is also meant to impress visually. You will have much to explore and admire. A specific release date for patch 3.3 of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will be announced soon. However, it is said to be in summer.

Battleborn responds to criticism, fixes issue in hours, says: “That’s how it works here”

Schuhmann 4. May 2016 Reading time < 1 minutes

In the recently launched hero shooter Battleborn , a journalist wanted to see the intro multiple times. No problem.

A 7-minute intro graces the beginning of Battleborn. The colleagues from Gamestar saw similarities to a “Gorillaz” video. Quite bizarre stuff that you might want to take a second look at.

Therefore, some found it not so cool that they could only see the intro once; after that, it was no longer played. Even journalist Mike Fahey from Kotaku was annoyed about this and wrote an article titled: “The best part of Battleborn so far – and you can only see it once.”

People at Gearbox read the article and thought: Well, if that’s all it is. They released a stealth patch and now the intro can be replayed multiple times on demand. They also rolled this out with a statement: “This is a sign of how quickly we can respond to feedback from players and media!” This is due to SHiFT and micro-patches.

However, one must say, that is really quick. If this is a sign of how swiftly one can respond to fan wishes: Not bad. Here is the intro in question.

Looks like there is a ninth reason why Battleborn rocks. Here you can read about the other 8.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Diese Gebiete erkundet Ihr im DLC Dark Brotherhood

Andreas Bertits 4. May 2016 Reading time 2 minutes

With the upcoming DLC Dark Brotherhood, the Gold Coast will be introduced as a new area in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online.

The Gold Coast, actually the Colovian Coast, is the westernmost region of the old Empire on the continent of Tamriel. Here is the coastal city of Anwil, which is controlled by Governor Fortunata ap Dugal.

Anwil is a thriving trade city and has established itself as the dominant power in the region with the help of the Red Sail Pirates and a fleet of privateer ships. Everyone should explore the streets of the city and visit sights such as the historic castle Anwil, the great chapel of Dibella, or the lighthouse of Anwil – while always keeping an eye on their wallet!

Don’t make a Kvatch!

Kvatch is the second-largest city on the Gold Coast. Count Carolus, nephew of the former Emperor, rules the rather quiet city by trying to balance between Fortunata’s ambitions and Primus Artorius’ religious dictates. The Cathedral of Akatosh and the Arena of Kvatch are the main sights. Especially the Arena provides a counterbalance to the otherwise rather sluggish and pious lifestyle of the inhabitants.

North of Anwil, you will find the Hrota Cave. The cave carved from rock is home to criminals but also many dangerous creatures. Therefore, most people make a wide berth around the collection of passages and chambers. Since the well-known vampire hunter Mel Adrys was seen in the vicinity of the cave, many residents of the Gold Coast are now very concerned. The Ayleid ruin Garlas Agea, also known as “Chamber of Secrets,” attracts adventurers and researchers. In the winding chambers, there are said to be many treasures and secrets. However, there are indications that someone – or something – has taken up residence in the ruin.

Much to explore

the elder scrolls online dark brotherhood mord

The old fortress, also known as the Enclave of the Hourglass, has served the Order of the Hour, the War Priests, as a base in recent years. However, siege weapons are now being built there and many supplies are delivered. It is suspected that the War Priests are facing a danger of which nothing is yet known.

As you can see, there are many new and interesting places to explore when the DLC Dark Brotherhood for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is released on May 31 for PC and Mac and on June 14 for Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Destiny im Wohnzimmer: Gjallarhorn, Falkenmond und Co. – Unglaubliche Replika-Sammlung

Tom Rothstein 4. May 2016 Reading time 3 minutes

A Guardian has created an incredible collection of weapon replicas from Destiny. These are worth seeing!

Considering the following images, some of you will surely have a sparkle in your eyes: The cosplayer and prop maker Eric Newgard has been steadily recreating new weapons from the Destiny universe over the past few months. He now boasts an incredibly comprehensive collection that many fans will surely envy.

Because who hasn’t always wanted to have their own Gjallarhorn hanging above the fireplace? Or feel a Hawkmoon in their hands?

Destiny Weapons for the Living Room

For many of us, this will likely remain a dream for a long time, but at least we can admire Newgard’s collection in pictures. In addition to numerous firearms, he also has swords in his arsenal, and even a loot chest.

As can be seen from his flickr page, he did not use a 3D printer for the weapons but built them with a ruler, pencil, and templates from conventional materials. Everything here is “handmade”. Let’s take a look at a few replicas.
