In a few days, Battleborn will be released on all platforms (PC, PS4, and Xbox One), and we have the release trailer for you.
On May 3, it’s finally happening, and the colorful hero shooter Battleborn is launching. Gearbox, who are also known for Borderlands, promise a lot of fun with the game, especially when teaming up with friends. Right on time for the launch, they have now released the release trailer, which showcases some of the absurd action players will encounter.
Unlike other games in the genre, such as Overwatch or Paladins, Battleborn also features an exciting campaign and has incorporated some MOBA elements into the game that are sure to appeal to PvP players. Players will need to defend minions, build towers, and defeat certain mini-bosses to secure victory.
Battleborn is being released not only for PC but also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game even comes with a split-screen mode on the consoles.
You can find more news and articles about the hero shooter from Gearbox on our Battleborn game page.
Today, fresh item deliveries have arrived for the vendors in The Division. We take a look at what the special equipment vendor and the DZ weapons vendor have for PS4, Xbox One, and PC this week.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, the vendors’ offerings change in The Division. Particularly interesting are the special equipment vendor and the DZ weapons vendor, as they carry high-level items that are exciting for many agents. While the items are mostly completely exchanged weekly, the blueprints generally remain the same. Sometimes they are provided with new price tags.
You can find the special equipment vendor in the operations base in the tech wing and the Dark Zone weapons vendor in the DZ03 safe room:
What the special equipment vendor offers starting from April 30th
This vendor charges Phoenix Credits in exchange for his high-end goods. While he surprised with the desirable weapon AUG A3 Para XS and SOCOM M1A last week, the weapons this week are less spectacular. However, this may be a chance for some agents to test other weapons thoroughly.
Weapons:
MK46 – Military Version (Light Machine Gun): 820 PCs – Value 204 (Talents: Destroyer, Accurate, Prepared)
Px4 Storm Type T (Pistol): 656 PCs – Value 204 (Talents: Expert, Painful)
Additionally, there is a tactical vest, two knee pads, and a holster of high-end quality available for purchase. The stylish cosmetic items Ranger Jacket and Jacket – Sand Color are also always in stock.
This week, the special equipment vendor again offers a whole truckload of blueprints, including the individual parts of some equipment sets. Which blueprints this vendor has in The Division – these remain the same every week – you can check here.
Offer of the Dark Zone weapons vendor on April 30th
This vendor only offers his goods in exchange for Dark Zone currency. To be able to buy these, you must have reached certain DZ ranks. Apparently, light machine guns are in trend this week, and this vendor has one as well. His offer of blueprints changes, at least partially, every week.
High-End Weapons:
RPK-74 M – Military Version (Light Machine Gun): 18125 DZW – Value 163 (Rank 25) (Talents: Malicious, Challenging, Capable)
M60 E 3 – Black Market Version (Light Machine Gun): 261422 – Value 204 (Rank 75)
The following blueprints all have a value of 163 and are available starting from rank 25:
SOCOM Mk20 SSR (Sniper Rifle): 14619 DZW
ACR Tactic (Assault Rifle): 15815 DZW
AUG A3P Tactic (Submachine Gun): 13398 DZW
M60 E6 – Black Market Version (Light Machine Gun): 13258 DZW
M1911 Tactic (Pistol): 10957DZW
SASG-12 S – Black Market Version (Shotgun): 14667 DZW
We will no longer go into detail about the offer of the Dark Zone specialties vendor, our “Dark Xur”. Since the April update, he has had the Nomad knee pads and the Nomad gloves every week, with the blueprints for the Nomad knee pads and holsters. There are no weekly changes here.
Have fun shopping, agents!

After a long break, Dragon’s Prophet returns with a patch that fixes numerous bugs and brings new costumes.
The first of “many updates” for Dragon’s Prophet
Since the summer of last year, not much has happened in Dragon’s Prophet; nearly 9 months have passed without a proper update. The game has suffered some serious setbacks after being deemed not worthwhile in America – the American servers were shut down in November 2015.
For Europe, however, they have not thrown in the towel but are now returning with Patch 3.0.1592 “Spring Awakening”. While it does not contain any new content aside from two new costumes and settings options in the options menu, it has fixed numerous bugs. The most changes can be found in the numerous dungeons of the game:
In Mictlan’s Corridor, the rock bone dragon can no longer spontaneously kill players.
In Corzine, the gate of the coliseum now opens as planned after defeating the boss.
In Deyarkage Prison, fewer enemies must now be killed to complete the quest.
Moreover, raising dragons is now more pleasant, as random attributes of the flying creatures can no longer fall below 3 – or 3.50 for the special attribute.
According to gamigo, Spring Awakening is only the first of many updates that will come to European players in the coming months. So far, the focus has been on fixing bugs, but now they want to turn their attention to new content.

In the Trials of Osiris in Destiny, there will be a new map on April 29th.
Since 7:00 PM on Friday, the weekly PvP event “Trials of Osiris” has been running in Destiny.
This time, the map “The Timekeeper” is the active Osiris map. As the mastermind behind Osiris, Derek Carol, announced: a debut, it has never been featured before.
With 5 and 7 wins, there are random rewards from the Osiris pool. Otherwise, you must complete the bounty from Brother Vance. Very hardcore players try to go “flawless” to Mercury to empty the chest.
Good luck, Guardian.

Eternal Crusade is leveling up and performing an engine upgrade. This is expected to significantly improve the performance of the shooter.
Eternal Crusade – The War Will Be Even More Beautiful
The Unreal Engine 4 will be upgraded to version 4.11. Since Eternal Crusade, the upcoming shooter MMO from the Warhammer universe, is based on this engine, fans can look forward to significant performance improvements. According to the developer blog on Steam, the new patch is expected to launch during the week of May 2, 2016. In addition to the engine upgrade, there will also be improved matchmaking that is expected to largely prevent unbalanced matches. Apart from that, the patch will come with a variety of balancing changes, bug fixes, and some “surprises” that they cannot discuss yet.
Orks in Waaaagh! is Serious Business
This video shows how “serious” it gets during the motion capture recordings used in Eternal Crusade. You can often see how the actors have to hold back their laughter. Definitely a very entertaining job (which leads to cool results in games).

Currently, Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade is still in early access on Steam and is currently more of a lobby shooter. Ultimately, the game is supposed to be an MMO. However, before that happens, the shooter elements need to function perfectly.
Blizzard has agreed to meet with the team behind the World of Warcraft Classic server Nostalrius.
The Will of the Fans Meets Blizzard
The story surrounding the private Classic server Nostalrius of World of Warcraft is taking more and more exciting turns. After Mark Kern addressed Blizzard in a video to present the petition for the creation of “legacy servers”, Blizzard has now responded.
On Nostalrius’ Facebook page, the team of the former server announced that “Blizzard is ready to host the Nostalrius team.” The Nostalrius team is quite excited and is looking forward to bringing the fans’ wishes to Blizzard.
Mark Kern has also spoken out on Twitter again, announcing that Blizzard has invited him to discussions. There are supposed to be “multiple meetings” where the former colleagues will discuss the whole topic.
Moreover, there is talk of an “announcement” that they want to make later this week – whether this already concerns concrete plans for legacy servers is still questionable at this time.
Mein-MMO says: It is remarkable how quickly this whole thing around Nostalrius has developed into such a big topic that Blizzard is willing to have discussions. Reactions on social media are significant, and the expectations of nostalgia fans are slowly reaching a boiling point. Meanwhile, the petition seems to have fully served its purpose. Blizzard has taken notice, and that alone is more than many other petitions have ever achieved. Whether any real actions will follow from the “discussions” – and whether they will meet the expectations of the fans – remains to be seen. It would be desirable.
For more news and articles about the former Nostalrius server and the upcoming expansion Legion, you can find them on our World of Warcraft gaming page.

In The Division, the problem of cheats and hacks seems to be so pronounced that even hackers are complaining about other hackers.
A reddit user made a surprising find in a forum for hackers: An agent complains that The Division is hardly playable due to the many hackers. The curious part: He openly admits that he also uses hacks.
Hacker vs. Hacker – The fraudsters are swarming in the Dark Zone
A self-proclaimed hacker expresses his annoyance that he hardly has any advantages in the Dark Zone anymore, as other hackers simply take him down. As the user says, the PvP area of The Division is now nearly impossible to play, even if one uses cheats and hacks themselves.
Recently, he ran through the Dark Zone for about two hours and encountered several “10-year-olds” who were all using aim-bots and RPM-hacks. With his complaint, the user now wants to ask the other agents what their opinions are on “player-aimbots,” which every agent can currently access for free.
While one comment endorses the free hack methods – after all, this gives all agents the same chances to cheat – most other agents see this as a disgrace for the cheat and hack protection measures from Massive. Especially on the PC version, nearly only hackers are competing against hackers; the decent agents have no chance anymore in the Dark Zone.
With their statements in the last “State of the Game,” community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau want to calm the heated tempers of the agents: They are optimistic that the problems will be solved in the future. Also, the cheat and hack protection measures are continuously being improved. However, all of this still takes time, and they ask for patience.
At The Division, spontaneous maintenance work is taking place this afternoon on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
As Massive just announced via Twitter, the servers will be taken offline on April 29th. Maintenance work is underway.
The servers will be offline starting at 4:30 PM. The estimated downtime is 30 minutes. If everything goes as planned, agents can re-enter the post-apocalyptic New York right on time for the evening at 5 PM.

As part of this maintenance, an issue will be resolved that unexpectedly occurred yesterday after the fix: “The Death Ladder”, as this bug is referred to by Massive themselves.
The bug caused agents who stayed too long near certain ladders to be suddenly killed. The problem will be fixed this afternoon.
The open beta of Overwatch is on the starting blocks. But when is the exact release of the open beta and is the preload already active? Find out here the times, system requirements, and other important information about the launch.
Start times: 2 days early access for pre-orderers
After the closed beta of Overwatch retired on April 25, the open beta will soon follow, in which all interested players can participate for free. As a special treat for all pre-orderers who secured the game by April 29, there is early access to the beta. The pre-orderers will receive 2 keys – one for themselves and another for a friend, whom you can recruit.
Early access to the beta starts on May 3 at 1:00 AM.
Normal access to the open beta starts 2 days later, on May 5, also at 1:00 AM.
The servers will remain online until May 9 at 7:00 PM, before the open beta ends.
Please note that all progress from the beta, such as the achieved account level and unlocks through loot boxes, will be deleted afterwards. The progress will not be transferred to the live version of the game.
Afterwards, players will have to wait a few weeks, as the hero shooter celebrates its official release on May 24.
Preload, download and system requirements of Overwatch
The download of Overwatch should work smoothly on all 3 platforms (PC, PS4, Xbox One). A preload of the Overwatch client is currently not offered. As soon as this becomes available, we will inform you.
On the Windows PC, it is the easiest – you just need to install the Battle.net software, log in with your account, and download the game to be able to start it anytime from the Battle.net launcher.
On the PlayStation 4, go to the PlayStation Store, select “Search” and enter “Overwatch”. Under the different events, you should find “Overwatch: Open Beta” – select it and confirm with “Download”. Afterwards, you can play the game like any other with “Start”.
On the Xbox One, you also go to the store, navigate to the “Games” category, and then “Search All Games”. In the search bar, type “Overwatch”, select the event “Overwatch: Open Beta”, confirm here with “Download” and after the download is complete, you can run the game by clicking “Start”.
To ensure the game runs smoothly on the PC, your computer must meet certain specifications. Here are the final minimum system requirements for Overwatch:
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
Our step-by-step guide on how to level up quickly and efficiently in the new Season 6 of Diablo 3.
Especially in the early phase of Diablo 3, it is crucial how quickly you reach the maximum level, as there are few other players around to “boost” you at that time. There are, however, several points to consider to make leveling faster in Season 6.
How to level up particularly fast in Diablo 3 from Patch 2.4.1
Start the game on the difficulty “Hard” and first do the Act with the bonus Bounty to quickly get your first skills and some gear.
After you’ve retrieved your loot from the bonus cube, craft Cain’s or Born’s set to gain extra experience points.
Up to Level 20, you should do Solo Rifts on the “Hard” difficulty.
Once you reach Level 20, it is advisable to kill Leoric to obtain his Crown as loot. You should then socket it with a Ruby – this will greatly increase your experience points. The new, stronger massacre bonus also works well with a Ruby in your helm – and it is worth it!
From Level 20 to 42, continue with solo rifts on “Hard” – if that becomes too boring, you can alternatively farm bonus acts or select specific quests that are likely to give you a massacre bonus to gain experience quickly.
Once you reach Level 42, you should craft a 1-handed weapon for Level 60 that has a level requirement reduction of 18 levels. Then you can probably raise the difficulty and still do well in solo rifts. However, keep in mind that you should play time-efficient: just because you can do a solo rift on torment 1 doesn’t mean you would get less experience on “Hard” in that time. Even if you have items with reduced level requirements, solo rifts on “Hard” can still be the most effective.
Once you reach Level 61 and have obtained Death’s Breath, you should craft a 2-handed weapon. It should ideally be a level 70 weapon with reduced level requirements.
From here, continue leveling in solo rifts on “Hard” or at a higher difficulty if you have very good gear, until you reach Level 70. If rifts become too monotonous, you can also farm massacre bonuses in the Halls of Agony.
Tips and Tricks for Speed Leveling in Diablo 3 for Season 6
As soon as you start the game and begin your season, you should steal the weapon from your companion and equip it yourself.
Crafting low-level legendary items now requires the same crafting materials as crafting rare items, just more of them. So you don’t need any extra ingredients.
You should buy rings (level 7) and amulets (level 11) with min-max damage, as these scale well in the early levels and provide you with a lot of extra damage.
When you are around level 20, you’ve probably already found some gems as loot. Socket Rubies in helmets and weapons. Diamonds in armor and jewelry.
Also, keep all legendary items you find on your leveling path. In Kanai’s Cube, low-level items are just as good as max-level items.
Definitely do not throw away a Bovine Bardiche or a Puzzle Ring, as these items grant you access to special zones that you should ideally enter with friends at level 70. Alternatively: You can also use the Bovine Bardiche while leveling, as there are a lot of enemies in the zone that can provide you with massacre bonuses.
How you can quickly get your first set for level 70 with your character is detailed in our article about the guaranteed sets in Diablo 3 in Season 6. If you then need the right companion for your adventures, you’ll surely find something in our Diablo Pet Guide for Patch 2.4.1.

After Aurelion Sol, there are already the first images of the new champion at League of Legends.
With a huge story that spans several pages, Riot Games announces the new champion “Taliyah”. Almost like a book, the story of the new heroine reads and reveals one or two secrets. This will certainly not be the last teaser about this champion, as there were also several teasers before Jhin to fully tap into the hype.
It is still officially unknown whether “Taliyah” will be the next champ. However… the assumption is extremely close.
Connection to the LoL hero Yasuo
In the story, you will not only learn a lot about Taliyah’s personal history but also something about her connection to Yasuo. Furthermore, she has abilities with which she can control stones – whether that will make her Malphite’s arch-nemesis remains unclear. Abilities are unfortunately not known at the moment – however, the champion designer DanielZKlein, who was also responsible for Azir.
Now some of you will light up because Azir has indeed become a nice champion who is only moderately annoying. However, Azir is not the only champion for whom DanielZKlein is responsible. Thanks to him, we also have our good friend Tahm Kench in the game.
After the first 3 months of 2016 brought us new releases like Blade and Soul, Black Desert, and The Division for our “MMO of the Month”, we chose a hidden gem for April with Marvel Heroes 2016.
The Free2Play comic spectacle with distinct Diablo parallels is still under the radar for most here. This is certainly due to a botched launch. The hack’n’slash fell short of expectations back then. As a Marvel fan, I immediately installed it, but after just a few hours, I uninstalled it: it felt less like a real MMORPG and more like a hastily cobbled together browser game.
But I then, also because I heard so much good about the game, dived into the Marvel world every now and then, and I liked it better with each visit. Because Marvel Heroes shows the great advantage that MMORPGs have: they evolve continuously.
Today, Marvel Heroes is a great game for a quick session or for longer play, which we want to recommend to you in April.

For these 5 reasons, Marvel Heroes is our MMO of the Month in April
It is thoroughly Marvel – The action MMORPG is not a soulless licensed product, but it breathes Marvel. The heroes and villains exchange banter, there are insider jokes and references everywhere, and you dive into the superhero world. Whether you hit the Kingpin as Daredevil or fight Red Skull as Captain America – you feel that real comic fans were at work here. There are now more than 50 heroes. And whenever the next Marvel movie is in theaters or the next series is on Netflix, there’s definitely something planned in the Marvel Heroes universe.
It is surprisingly deep – Marvel Heroes is a fully-fledged MMORPG. With a long campaign, prestige systems, various progress options. There are even challenging group activities. Players ponder over “optimal builds” for heroes. It’s much more sophisticated than it seems at first glance – with numerous talents, an account-wide synergy system, or alternative progression options. Loot and achievements are fully rewarded.
It is also something for quick sessions – Logging in, checking the daily missions, and then diving into combat can be done quickly despite all the complexity, inviting you to play in between. Unnecessarily complex systems like the crafting system have been significantly simplified over time.
It is Free2Play – I’ve played Marvel Heroes for quite some time when you add up the hours. I have 4 characters at the maximum level of 60 and have never invested a cent into the game. And except for inventory space, I miss nothing. It has a fair payment system where you can unlock a lot with in-game currencies. Additionally, there are regular events and special promotions where you progress particularly fast.
It really keeps evolving – Almost every month a new hero is released. Big, free updates come regularly. New features and clever improvements are in the works. If you take a break for a quarter of a year, you can be sure: Marvel Heroes has gotten even better.
In FIFA 16 Ultimate Team, the first TOTS, the Teams of the Season, have been introduced. Featuring: Marcel Schmelzer and Mitchell Weiser!
Here we go! The first Teams of the Season are known, several hours earlier than expected. For the TOTS, EA Sports creates teams of players who they believe stood out this season.
Today, the TOTS weeks in FIFA 16 will initially kick off with teams chosen by the community. These include Bronze, Silver, and Gold players who consistently showed good performances throughout the season, yet never made it into the Team of the Week. These players will now be celebrated retrospectively with TOTS cards.
This is the TOTS of the Community Gold Players in FIFA 16
Among the Gold Players chosen by the community, Marcel Schmelzer from Borussia Dortmund made it into the Team of the Season. He receives an overall rating of 85! No other German players, nor any other players from the Bundesliga, made it into this TOTS:
This is the TOTS of the Community Silver Players in FIFA 16
In the Community Silver TOTS, you can find among others the Bundesliga stars Mitchell Weiser from Hertha BSC Berlin (now overall 74) and Vincenzo Grifo (also 74) from Freiburg:
The release of the two classes Ninja and Kunoichi is postponed in Black Desert, but Valencia is still scheduled for June.
Ninja/Kunoichi with balance issues, Valencia remains a trilogy
Our colleagues from Dualshockers had the opportunity to conduct a fairly long interview with Daniel Loehr, the German project manager of Black Desert at Daum, to talk about the current state of Black Desert and especially the future of the game. We have summarized and translated the most interesting points for you.
The most important insight from the interview is the fact that Ninja and Kunoichi, two new classes, no longer have May as their release date. The reason for this is that the developers are not satisfied with the balance of these two classes in Korea and want to update them there first to bring them in line with the other classes. Only after that does Daum intend to handle an implementation: It is better to release something new later, but in a much “smoother” state, rather than rushing it out and alienating fans.
June is still “more or less” the intended date for the Valencia update. However, this is so extensive that it will, just like in Korea, be released in three parts.
Awakening weapons in one go, 3-4 months behind Korea
Some words were also lost about the Awakening weapons. The goal is to introduce all Awakening weapons at the same time. In Korea, these were released “piece by piece”, but here, we want to bring all the weapons simultaneously – at least all that have been released by the time of the patch.
The “goal” is, by the way, to always lag about 3-4 months behind the original version of the game. This is inevitable anyway, to localize the content in three languages, but it also has a nice side effect. The developers thus had enough time to fix any bugs, so we always receive a (relatively) bug-free version of the game in the West.
If you are interested in the entire interview lasting nearly 40 minutes:

In the upcoming shooter Doom , gameplay material has been released, providing insights into the single-player campaign.

In addition to numerous gameplay scenes from the campaign, you will see monsters, demons, and various weapons in action. Of course, bloody chainsaw kills cannot be missed. In the background, the developers discuss the showcased material and explain the design decisions that were made.
Here are some details the developers revealed:
There is no reload function. As in the first Doom, weapons can hold an irrational amount of ammunition. You can keep shooting until you run out of ammo.
There will be a weapon wheel in the single-player campaign, which allows you to switch between your guns at any time. When you activate the weapon wheel, the environment slows down. However, you shouldn’t take too much time with your choice, as the action is not completely paused. By the way, there is no weapon wheel in multiplayer; you have to pre-select specific weapons.
Each weapon has various mods that you can toggle on and off with the press of a button.
Additionally, we get a look at the brutal “finishing moves”, which grant you invulnerability during the animation. As a reward, you gain health and ammunition.
The campaign will feature various optional challenges, such as having to eliminate one enemy with an exploding foe.
Furthermore, there will be a lot of lore that you can experience through audio files.
Doom will be released on May 13 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The digital revenue of The Division is enormous: Ubisoft’s MMO shooter clearly knocks Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 off its throne in March.
According to a recent analysis by the market research company SuperData, The Division generated over 109 million US dollars in digital revenue in March 2016.

The new season in Diablo 3 starts today – to kick things off, you receive a gift set for your character!
Today at 5:00 PM (excluding server issues) the new season begins. To progress effectively in the game, you should unlock set bonuses with your character quickly. To ensure you don’t have to wait long, you will receive a complete set with one of your characters.
4 Steps to the Gift Set in Diablo 3
It is best to choose a higher difficulty than “Normal” right during the leveling phase, so you can reach the maximum level with your character faster. Solo rifts on “Hard” are quite suitable for gathering experience points. If you wear Leoric’s Crown in these rifts and socket it with a level of a Ruby, you can significantly accelerate your leveling progress. Once you reach level 70, it won’t take long to get your first set together.
You will receive the first 2 set pieces as soon as you reach level 70.
If you already have good items, you should increase the difficulty to Torment 2 and kill Izual to get pieces 3 & 4 of the set.
Start a solo rift on Torment 4 difficulty to unlock Greater Rifts at level 20 – if you’re lucky in the solo rift, you will receive a key for a Greater Rift as a reward.
Use this key to complete a Greater Rift at level 20, as this will give you pieces 5 & 6 (and the 7th piece for some sets).
Once you have your complete set, you should be ready to play on higher difficulties (Torment 5 and above). If you haven’t activated Kanai’s Cube yet, you should do that right away!
Today we at Mein-MMO are asking the question of all questions. Which game are you playing on your console: Bungie’s Destiny or Ubisoft’s The Division?
Before you gather in the twilight at the village square and brandish pitchforks and torches over this foolish question to drive this foolish Ttime into the woods, I would like to narrow down the question a bit:
Which “April Update” – both MMO shooters were supplied with fresh content on April 12th – currently convinces you more?
Are you stuck in the post-apocalyptic New York or in the Destiny universe? Or do you simply play both equally?
Are you currently playing more Destiny?
The MMO shooter Destiny has been around for several months, the last big content chunk was indeed already 7, in words: seven, months ago with the “King’s Fall” expansion. Only the most loyal and dutiful Guardians have probably forced the Darkness to its knees daily during this time. Various events, such as the SRL in Destiny or the Crimson Days in Destiny, only brought short-term variety – and certainly not to the extent that many players would have hoped for.
Now the live team released the April update half a month ago, and numerous Guardians are flooding back into the world of Destiny. Eager and full of energy, they grab their jump ship, activate their old clan, and face the emerging dangers that must be defeated with brave hearts.
In addition to the centerpiece of the update, a revamped Prison of Elders, which is supposed to provide endgame entertainment for several weeks, there is an additional Taken Strike and some new features, such as Chromatin, which allows you to make your Guardians shine. Additionally, some Year 1 weapons have been upgraded to Year 2 level, giving Guardians more choices for their weapons.
The Darkness is far from defeated. Are you keeping Malok and Co. in check these days? Or are you allowing the Darkness to persist because you have other tasks to attend to?
Are you currently playing more The Division?
In The Division, New York is still not safe. Sinister factions are vying for control of this city. With the “Incursions” update, LMB is making dangerous plans that you must thwart in the first incursion “Falcon Lost”.
Moreover, new features have been added, such as the trading system, gear score, equipment sets, and daily and weekly orders. The Dark Zone has also been made a bit more lucrative.
The Division is still fresh and currently experiencing a number of teething problems. As the community developer Yannick Banchereau mentioned in a livestream, the development team is currently in a learning process. The Division, after it was launched in March, still has to find its direction and endure the storm until it reaches safer waters. Given the current climate, one can only hope that this ambitious game doesn’t capsize prematurely.
Do you still fulfill your duties as a Division agent, even though the many glitches, exploits, and issues dampen the fun of the game? After all, you also need to increase your gear score to be prepared for future tasks.
Ttime says: I have really been playing both games equally lately. Right on April 12th, I started with The Division, not only because the Destiny update came a few hours later, but also because I was interested in the incursion – how does this mode work, what makes this mode special?
With Destiny, you already had an idea in your head beforehand of how the Prison of Elders and the strikes in general would play out – nothing groundbreaking revolutionary was to be expected.
As it looks right now, I will still be satisfied with both MMO shooters for a while, as I have not yet reached the maximum light level with all three Guardians nor exhausted the gear score with my agent. If I didn’t have to report on a new glitch, exploit, or cheat in The Division every other week – which, by the way, as a player and also as a Mein-MMO author, really gets on my nerves – I would probably be further along by now.
The question of which game will land in my console in the coming weeks and months, I can’t answer yet. The next big thing for Destiny is only coming in the fall, while The Division is already following up with the “Conflict” update next month. How the motivation of the agents will look in the future, however, remains to be seen.
But back to you, let’s focus again on the here and now:
Destiny or The Division – which game will you play this weekend?
