No Man’s Sky: Wird es Virtual Reality unterstützen?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Will No Man’s Sky come with VR support? Here’s what the developers say.

no-mans-sky-maschinen

In an interview with IGN, the founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, discusses a possible VR support for the upcoming space survival game No Man’s Sky. However, he does not want to confirm it definitively, but admits that it “would fit very well.”

In No Man’s Sky, players dive into an almost infinite galaxy and discover alien planets and cultures. In addition to exploration, players must constantly fight for survival, as countless dangers lurk.

For some time now, forums and social networks have been buzzing that No Man’s Sky could convince players to adopt the new technology of virtual reality. After all, you should discover completely new worlds, and how could immersion be better than feeling like you’re right in the middle of it?

VR for No Man’s Sky still not confirmed

But so far, Hello Games is still hesitant when it comes to VR. In response to a direct inquiry from IGN, Sean Murray seems to choose his words carefully. He says about VR:

I think VR is incredibly exciting in general.

He believes in this technology, and he is optimistic that it will succeed. However, it still needs a “killer app,” meaning a reason that convinces many people to acquire this technology. Virtual reality should not remain just a fad or a toy. People need to see a benefit in it.

Regarding VR headsets and the skepticism of some people about having to wear headsets for several hours, Murray said:

[With the VR headsets] there is a huge opportunity to play this game in a normal way and also to have these truly intense moments in the midst of the game.

Players could experience a mix of both.

But Murray believes it would be “incredibly cool” to experience new planets that one likes in VR. And who knows, perhaps No Man’s Sky will become that “killer app” that enables the breakthrough of virtual reality. But first, VR support should be confirmed.

No Man’s Sky is releasing on June 22 for PS4 and PC.

A new cinematic is set to immerse fans in Overwatch , which starts its open beta in just a few days. Check it out here.

Winston Calls for the Overwatch Beta

The early beta access for Overwatch began tonight, May 3rd at 1:00 AM. To invite those who are still undecided about the game, Blizzard has created a teaser cinematic, in which the gorilla scientist Winston explains the current situation on planet Earth and the rough history of Overwatch.

Accordingly, Overwatch was founded during a time of crisis to crush the Omnics (robots) during a rebellion. Later, the organization took on the role of a kind of “world police” before its name became increasingly infamous and it was dissolved. Now the world is once again in chaos and a certain primate with heightened aggression potential is calling the former team back together.

For those who haven’t checked out the game yet, they can participate in the open beta from May 5th to May 9th. This will take place simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Installation is easily done through the Battle.net software or the stores of PS4 and Xbox.

Hearthstone: Yogg-Saron – the most ridiculous card in its best moments

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

The old god Yogg-Saron causes insane experiences in Hearthstone. The funniest plays have been compiled in a video.

An old god who loves to cast spells – and makes everyone laugh

hs-wotog-neu-50-yoggsaron-hopes-end

Of all the crazy cards that “Whispers of the Old Gods” has brought into the game world of Hearthstone, “Yogg-Saron, Hope’s End” is probably the weirdest card. The old god is known in the Warcraft universe for his whispers of madness and lives up to that reputation in the card game.

When played, his Battlecry ensures that a lot of spells are cast. How many exactly? That depends on how many spells the owner of Yogg-Saron has cast during the game.

However, what happens on the battlefield is completely random, as Yogg-Saron casts spells from all possible classes and targets randomly. Chaos and madness are thus guaranteed. The Youtuber Hearthstone SparkTV has compiled the best clips from various streamers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXPf6uit3zo

Among other things, there are videos of the well-known players Forsen and Kripparian, who sometimes experience quite a shock when the fireballs fly back into their own face or repeated sprinting causes them to die from exhaustion damage. In any case, the results are laughable and bring good cheer – and these are exactly the experiences Blizzard wanted to force with the latest expansion.

The Division: PvE area is to be strengthened and revived

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, the PvE area of the open world is set to be revitalized. This was revealed by Community Developer Hamish Bode.

division-dark

Once agents reach the max level of 30 and have successfully completed all fights and side missions, they will only find themselves in the Dark Zone or within designated missions. The rest of the open world becomes uninteresting. Some players might still eagerly search to collect all the “filler content” in The Division. However, for agents who are only after action and shootouts, there are no more challenges here.

The Dark Zone, the PvP area, is intended for long-term gameplay enjoyment. However, the morale of upright agents is currently being dampened by numerous hackers and cheaters. Many agents – especially those on PC – would appreciate more variety in PvE given the current situation. What does Massive say about this?

There are plans to “revitalize” the open world

division-ruf-der-wache-gefecht

During a Twitch stream, Community Developer Hamish Bode was asked if there were any plans to revitalize the PvE area. And Bode replied: Yes, there are.

Fans of PvE can therefore look forward to the future of The Division, although the Community Developer did not elaborate on what specific changes will be introduced or when they will come.

In May, we can expect Update 1.2 “Conflict”, which will be free for all. This is intended to deliver a new raid and new challenge modes. However, the focus of this update will be on the Dark Zone: New features in the PvP area are meant to herald the “beginning of a wild manhunt in the Dark Zone.”

Therefore, significant changes in the open world are likely to come only with the “Underground” expansion, which is set to release in June. Little is currently known about this DLC, which is included in the season pass.

World of Warcraft: Are there any rewards in WoW for watching the movie?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A visit to the cinema for the upcoming Warcraft movie could be worth it, as there are in-game goodies for newcomers and veterans.

Weapon skins and all expansions for free with a cinema visit

On May 26, 2016, the long wait is over, and the film Warcraft: The Beginning finally comes to German cinemas – even two weeks before it can be seen in America. As reported by mmo-champion, the “rewards” for the cinema visit have now been announced on the French website of Kinopolis. Accordingly, all players of World of Warcraft can look forward to a range of rewards.

WoW Movie Transmog Alliance

There will be four different weapon skins, all relating to important characters from the film. Alliance players can look forward to a sword and shield in a distinct Stormwind style.

WoW Movie Transmog Horde

Horde players, on the other hand, can look forward to an axe styled after Durotan and a staff inspired by Gul’dan.

For those who have never dipped into World of Warcraft before, the code essentially provides a “starter pack”. Because in addition to the weapon skins, there is the complete game including the “Warlords of Draenor” expansion for free. To ensure that players can immediately dive into Azeroth, a full month of game time is added on top.

According to current information, it seems that the rewards will only work with a “fresh” account, but this has not been definitively confirmed yet. Even then, veterans could also enjoy the weapon skins, as multiple WoW accounts can be registered on a Battle.net account, all sharing a common wardrobe with “Legion”.

It is also still uncertain whether these rewards will actually be available in all countries. It is assumed that such codes will be distributed during cinema visits in Germany, but official confirmation is still pending.

The Division: Ubisoft Massive krallt sich Game Director mit massig MMO-Shooter-Erfahrung

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

Matthew Higby is now working for Ubisoft Massive. He brings plenty of MMO shooter experience. Maybe for The Division?

Planetside 2 is considered by some to be the only true “MMO shooter.” There, hundreds, even thousands of players can participate in battles simultaneously, firing at each other and blasting away.

One of the key figures of Planetside 2 was Matthew Higby, who served as Creative Director for the overall vision of the game for over four years.

In the wake of restructuring at Sony Online Entertainment, Higby left his employer and also Planetside 2 by his own request in February 2015. After just over a year, Higby has found a new job: he will be Game Director at Ubisoft Massive in Malmö. He announced this on Twitter.

Whether he is working on The Division or doing something else is not known. Given his resume, he would undoubtedly be a good fit for the job at The Division. The “last” Game Director of The Division left Massive in March to work on Hitman. Higby would be a natural replacement, bringing a wealth of experience in shooters and MMOs.

Starting today, a new week begins in The Division. There is a fresh weekly assignment on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.

This week, the talking watch on your agent’s wrist has received a transmission, the assignment “Operation ISAC”. This assignment consists of several tasks that you must complete within the next seven days to earn the reward in the form of Phoenix Credits. To add more depth and excitement to the weekly assignments, Ubisoft releases a video about it each week.

This is the “Operation ISAC” transmission this week:

Apparently, you did a good job last week: Simon was able to restore the ISAC node thanks to your help after the enemy hacker attack. However, there is a new threat that makes life difficult for him, and especially for you: In a propaganda video, an enemy calls upon all factions to eliminate the Division agents. He has placed bounties on you.

Now you must complete the following tasks to thwart the plans of the mysterious enemy. You can find these tasks in-game on your map when you switch to the “Mission Overview”:

  • Eliminate 20 elite enemies: You need to neutralize 20 elite enemies in the Dark Zone. The enemy factions are after you. Therefore, you should go out there and show them that the Division is still a force to be reckoned with. Kill their elites.
  • Disassemble 20 specialized items: You need to disassemble 20 items of the quality level Specialized (Blue) or higher.
  • 40 headshot kills: Take out 40 enemies with headshots.
  • Complete 10 missions: You must complete 10 main missions on “Hard” or “Challenging” difficulty.

On May 3rd, there are no daily missions in The Division

As the Community Developer Hamish Bode communicates via Twitter, there will be no daily missions today, May 3rd. Therefore, you cannot earn any Phoenix Credits today. According to Bode, the system will be fixed tomorrow. The dailies will therefore be unplayable all day today.

CoD Infinite Warfare: Zombie-Modus und Multiplayer

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the upcoming installment of the shooter series in 2016, information about the zombie mode and multiplayer has been revealed.

During a livestream event yesterday, the developers from Infinity Ward talked about CoD: Infinite Warfare, which will be released at the end of the year. In addition to already known information about the new CoD, there are now hints about the zombie mode and multiplayer.

No Aliens, but Zombies in Infinite Warfare

cod-infinite-zombies

During the event, an image was revealed that clearly hints at a zombie mode in Infinite Warfare:

It features a film reel with a zombie on a single frame. Popcorn and blood are also a must.

The announcement of a zombie mode is somewhat surprising, as Infinite Warfare is said to take place in a complete futuristic setting. Previous zombie modes in the series have always taken players back in time. According to a press release from Activision, this mode will present a new story and further evolve gameplay compared to previous installments. The developers stated that it will be “unique” and “different”.

The zombie mode was first introduced by Treyarch in 2008 with Call of Duty: World at War and has since become a popular mode where you battle the undead. Infinite Warfare will be the first game where the developers from Infinity Ward deliver this mode. The zombies from Infinity Ward will reportedly differ from those of Treyarch, as confirmed by the developers during the stream.

Furthermore, it was mentioned that the new zombie mode will be packed with Easter eggs.

  • There will be battles in zero gravity, with new mechanics that will be revealed at a later date.
  • Infinity Ward is said to feel credible and “grounded” despite the futuristic setting; there will be no aliens.
  • The next major announcements will take place at E3 in June.

Infinite Warfare will be released on November 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Overwatch: Is the game also coming for the Mac?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Overwatch is just around the corner. But will the game also be released for Mac OS X devices?

Mac users miss out on Overwatch

The early access for the Overwatch beta is just around the corner. While all users of PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and a Windows PC can soon join the cheerful shooting, a very specific group of gamers is left out: The Mac users. As of now, Overwatch is not being developed for Mac OS X devices (Apple iMac, MacBook, etc.).

Overwatch-Wir-sind

Even during the beta, this became apparent, as the official FAQ answered the question of whether “Mac users can also play” with a clear “No” – there was no beta for Mac. Nothing is mentioned about “sometime” or “later”; it simply does not seem to be the plan.

In an interview with pcgamesn.com, Jeff Kaplan from Blizzard commented on this topic, namely a possible Mac version for Overwatch.

“[The decision against Mac] was the result of not receiving the technical support we would need to make the game work well on Mac.” Furthermore, he stated that “the enthusiasm from Sony and Microsoft is overwhelming to have Overwatch on their platforms” – something that Apple probably does not experience.

The only solution to this problem, Kaplan sees, is if Mac users bring this issue to Apple’s attention. “I think Apple is a great company. And I hope that Mac gamers will reach out to Apple and make it clear that gaming on a Mac is an important issue for many.”

However, there is a possible way: booting Windows on the Mac and then playing Overwatch from there. This requires a Windows license and is probably not the most elegant solution.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Is it going to Mordor, but does the MMORPG end in 2017?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Lord of the Rings Online, they celebrate a birthday while looking into an uncertain future.

As reported by MassivelyOP, Lord of the Rings Online celebrated its ninth birthday and chatted with fans during a six-hour live stream.

The next goal on the path to Mount Doom is “Mordor”. There, the heroes are set to venture next. It was probably hinted between the lines that the team is currently working on “Minas Morgul”. However, this was not confirmed.

The fans want to know: Will you get the license again? Or is 2017 the end?

They have completed expansions, and no new classes or races are planned. Lord of the Rings Online will continue to be developed with content updates. That is the plan. They are working on a friendlier vision of Minas Tirith, improving some of the cinematics, and the next raid will include at least 5 bosses.

Lord-of-the-Rings-Online-Pelennor

Fans mainly had one question on their minds: Your license expires in 2017. Will you get it extended? Will we still be able to play Lord of the Rings Online after 2017? Turbine could not or did not want to answer that. Fans have to be content with the statement: “We’ll address that when the time comes.”

In 2014, Turbine’s license for Lord of the Rings was extended again until 2017. Recently, signs have been increasing that HdRO must watch its costs, a promised transfer of the EU servers to Amsterdam was recently canceled. The “known” story of Lord of the Rings Online seems to be approaching an end in 2017 – HdRO is following the books there. However, it has been suggested that, once the Ring has landed in the mountain, they could tell their own stories outside the known narrative.

League of Legends: Streamer insults and trolls for views, banned from LoL

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Harshest punishment for toxic players – permanent ban at League of Legends (LoL)!

For a long time, League of Legends has had to deal with the reputation that the community can often be particularly negative, ruining the fun of the game for other LoL fans.

A LoL streamer became known for such toxic behavior (insults, intentional feeding, etc.) and built his fanbase through it. However, he will no longer be able to express this behavior in the well-known MOBA League of Legends, as he has now received a permanent ban.

Bad reputation among other LoL streamers

Tyler1 has recently built a reputation for being the poster child for toxic behavior in League of Legends. Until recently, he never had particularly many viewers – but the viewership skyrocketed when it became known that he enjoys insulting other players or trying to ruin their game.

Many viewers found this so interesting that Tyler1 now has over 99,000 followers on his Twitch.TV channel. However, he did not have a good reputation among other LoL streamers, as they saw the danger of others taking Tyler as an example to become popular through vulgar behavior themselves.

The Division: M1A Series 1 – The best precision rifle, but how long will it last?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, the M1A Series 1 is one of the best weapons in the game. We outline reasons why this marksman rifle is superior to other snipers.

In Ubisoft’s MMO shooter, sniper rifles can be generally divided into two categories:

  • High-damage sniper rifles with lower magazine size and fire rate (like the M44).
  • Sniper rifles with lower damage, but large magazines and high fire rates. The reload speed is also higher (such as the SCAR-H).

According to Arekkz Gaming, the M1A Series 1 of high-end quality is the exception to this rule. This sniper cannot be clearly classified into a category – as it combines the best attributes of both classes.  

Is the M1A the best sniper rifle in The Division?

The YouTuber and “The Division” expert Arekkz believes that the High-End First Wave M1A is the best sniper in the game. He cites three reasons:

  • The M1A Series 1 has a solid magazine size (base value: 10)
  • It has a high fire rate (base value: 300)
  • Moreover, it has a “truck-like” impact

These are the specific stats:

These base stats alone would currently make the M1A Series 1 the best sniper in the game, which is why every agent relying on sniper rifles should try it at least once.

There are several sources to obtain the M1A: Named enemies drop this weapon, such as Hornet in the Russian consulate. It can also occasionally be acquired as a blueprint. Currently, the DZ weapon dealer in the safe house of DZ03 sells a high-end SOCOM M1A.

With the right mods, you can further enhance the M1A Series 1. An extended magazine, which allows up to 19 shots, is especially recommended. This way you can keep enemies under continuous fire.

The talents of the M1A Series 1 are random. Watch out for the following useful talents:

  • Balanced: The weapon achieves maximum precision faster when shouldered. This is the most important talent, as it allows the already low recoil of the M1A to be almost neglected. This allows you to fire numerous headshots in a row, as the weapon hardly deviates.
  • Brutal: Headshot damage is increased by x%.
  • Deadly: Critical hit damage is increased by 10-30%.

The M1A Series 1 excels in both PvE and PvP. As a sniper rifle, it is especially useful for long-range combat; you can take out enemies from a distance before they even realize what is happening. However, according to the YouTuber, the M1A is also valuable in critical situations when you are overwhelmed by enemies: Thanks to the high fire rate and stability, you can pump it full of bullets at close and medium range.

If you want to wander through the post-apocalypse of The Division with this currently best sniper rifle, you should try to obtain it in the near future. Massive has already announced weapon balance changes, which will likely come with the May update. Which weapons and weapon types will be revised is still unknown. However, many agents would be surprised if the M1A were not nerfed.

Furthermore, the outstanding talent Balanced will be adjusted with update 1.2, as confirmed by community developer Yannick Banchereau.

The sniper rifle M1A is among the best weapons in The Division.

Black Desert: Lukrativer Handel und das “Goldseller-sichere” Auktionshaus im Videoguide

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

We show you in the video guide how the auction house and NPC trading work in Black Desert.

Trade Exchange and Long Journeys – Earning Money in Black Desert

Black Desert is a quite complex game, where almost every aspect of the MMORPG might need its own guide. How nice that we have our YouTuber Refaser to explain the most important mechanics of the game and give tips on how you can dive into the various systems. In this video, he mainly addresses how trading works in the game – both in the auction house and with NPCs.

The auction house of Black Desert is rather classic and corresponds to what most players already know from other MMORPGs. Crafting materials, equipment, and other items can be sold to other players through the trade exchange. While many games require addons for this, Black Desert already provides important information about the items by default. What is the current highest bid and the lowest? With several data points, you can estimate how much profit can be made from the surplus items.

Trading through the auction house in Black Desert is not as free as players are used to. A precautionary measure: To keep gold sellers away from Black Desert, items can only be sold within relatively narrow price ranges.

Completely independent of the auction house, there is also the option to trade goods with certain NPCs in the world. The basic principle is quite simple. You travel to Village A, buy any goods at a low price, then walk (or better ride) to Village B and sell all that stuff for a nice profit. If you also want to increase your strength attribute, you should take some foot marches and bring the goods from place to place on foot – because this way you will get stronger by itself and can then carry more.

It’s faster with a horse, while more experienced traders quickly switch first to the donkey and later to wagons.

Fight on the ground and in space in CoD: Infinite Warfare

The game is supposed to introduce players to breathtaking, previously unseen environments, with new weapons and innovative character traits. The battles will take place both on the ground and in space, as you control “high-speed space fighters.” As the captain of your own warship, you must face an unyielding enemy.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will take players to places they have never seen before in the CoD series, said the head of Infinity Ward Studio Dave Stohl. The futuristic setting offers players an epic journey, with “incredible gameplay innovations” and new experiences. Nevertheless, the game aims to return to the roots of the series and focus on massive battlefields set against a cinematic and gripping military story.

Diablo 3 Guide – How to get all the new wings in patch 2.4.1

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

Here you can get the cool new wings in Diablo 3 – Patch 2.4.1.

The new Season 6 in Diablo 3 has just started a few days ago. Especially sought after are not only the new companions, but also the beautiful wings that can now be unlocked for your characters. Unlocking them isn’t that hard if you know where to look. Of course, you will have to kill a few enemies, but it is definitely worth the effort!

To get these cosmic wings, you need to go to the county of Launebach. As you can see in the picture, this is the Pony Level, which can be opened by a small Rainbow Goblin.

However, you don’t have the wings for sure yet, because a rare enemy named Princess Lillian must appear in this Pony Level. She will then gift you the Cosmic Wings. The item is displayed in white text, rather inconspicuously. So keep your eyes open!

The Falcon Wings are a bit easier to obtain than the cosmic wings. All you have to do is teleport to the Gardens of Hope (first level) in Act 4 and search the entire map for a mysterious chest.

You can also do this as a group of 4 to save time. Once you find the chest (and haven’t opened it yet), you can invite your friends to your group so they can also get the wings.

Watch out for this chest!

Dark Bat Wings in Diablo 3

To get these bat wings, you need some luck in your Nephalem Rifts. For at the end, the Rift boss “Tethrys” must appear for her to give you these wings as a reward. It is unknown how high the drop chance is, so it is advisable to aim for a high torment level.

As with all wings so far, these will only be displayed in white text, so you should pay special attention to the loot.

Attention: As of now (02.05.2016), these wings are only available on the PTR and cannot yet be obtained on the live servers!

Not all wings unlocked in Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.1 yet

As you can see, only 2 of the planned 6 wings are currently unlocked in the live version of Diablo 3. It is quite possible that more wings will be found in the future.

There are also the wings of Mercy, which can be unlocked in connection with Blizzard’s “Overwatch”. If you want to collect more cosmetic enhancements that make your character even a bit more special, you should check out our Pet Guide for Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.1.
