It has now been officially confirmed that the item bonus “Protection from Elite” does not work as intended in The Division.
In recent weeks, the “State of the Game” livestream has taken place during maintenance every Tuesday, where the developers discuss the current situation of the game and usually reveal interesting information. This has now been moved to Thursday, along with the maintenance work.
But there was also a livestream today, in which community developer Hamish Bode showcased his skills in The Division. During this stream, he briefly addressed a current reddit post that exposed the item bonus “Protection from Elite” as faulty.
Massive advises to avoid “Protection from Elite”
As Bode now states, the team has read and reviewed this reddit entry. Apparently, “Protection from Elite” does indeed not work as intended and even has the opposite effect. Therefore, the community developer advises to refrain from using items that grant this bonus. The reddit users were absolutely right.
However, Bode added that the problem will be fixed “very, very, very soon.” When exactly remains to be seen. Since the weekly maintenance will take place this Thursday, that day can be considered the next possible date.
Originally intended as a PR stunt for Overwatch , it ended in a car accident – a cosplayer crashed his truck into another car.
Soldier: 76 rams into another car
This is certainly not what Blizzard had in mind. At this year’s PAX East, there was a small cross-promotion with Uber, where some cosplayers were supposed to escort lucky winners from a hotel to PAX. The performers were dressed in costumes of Overwatch characters and drove quite large, eye-catching vehicles – after all, they wanted to promote the game.
Unfortunately, a cosplayer dressed as Soldier: 76, along with his Ford F650 Supertruck, had an accident and crashed into another car. To make matters worse, Randy Pitchford from Gearbox, who is working on the competitor game Battleborn, appeared shortly after. After making sure that no one was injured, he took a few pictures of the scene.

But what can you say about that? Soldier: 76 is indeed a true outlaw. Although from our (German) perspective, it is also incomprehensible how someone can even drive a car in this costume, where visibility and freedom of movement are clearly restricted.
It wasn’t as bad for the chosen ones who were supposed to be brought to PAX after all – as there was also a second “Soldier 76” driving fans in his vehicle across Boston to PAX. So there was no need to switch to Tracer or D.Va, who were also on site. That would have surely been terrible…
True to the motto “any advertising is good advertising,” this definitely drew a bit of media interest. Therefore, despite the accident – or perhaps precisely because of it – the whole action was probably a success.

DC Universe Online was released in 2011 for PC and PlayStation 3, and in 2013, the title was released on PlayStation 4. The Xbox One version is set to release in the next 2 months, dated for Q2 2016. DC Universe Online is a free-to-play title and has proven to be a real flagship for DGC .
The delayed port of the title to Xbox One is due to the developer company only separating from Sony last year, thus now being able to port its own titles to the Xbox One. This was apparently not possible before.
Currently, DC Universe Online receives a new content patch every month. The content is introduced to the game in episode form. Premium members with an active subscription play these. Non-subscribers can purchase the episodes individually.

On The Division, there is a new weekly assignment called Operation ISAC every Tuesday, for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. To mark this occasion, Ubisoft has released a new video.
During the night from Monday to Tuesday, your “Intelligent System Analytic Computer” receives a transmission in the form of an assignment that consists of several tasks. If you only consider the weekly assignment within the game itself, it is rather unspectacular. That’s why Ubisoft releases a video each week to explain the background and convey the seriousness of the situation.
You now have seven days to complete the four tasks of the assignment to earn Phoenix Credits as a reward. This is this week’s “Operation ISAC” video:

In the third video transmission, Agent Simon Keyes, a technician responsible for maintaining an ISAC node in New York City, is still searching for more information about the fate of the kidnapped Agent St. Clair. However, this week there’s a setback: the ISAC node is hacked! Who is behind it?
The weekly assignment now requires you to help Simon regain control of the situation. Here are the tasks in detail:
Eliminate 50 Rikers: You need to take down 50 Rikers in the Dark Zone. The presence of Rikers is apparently increasing in the city. You need to do something about it.
Collect 30 tools: To reactivate the local ISAC node, tools are necessary. You are allowed to collect 30 of them.
Eliminate 20 elite enemies: For this task, you need to take out 20 enemies with a yellow health bar above their heads.
Complete 10 missions: This week, you can still complete 10 main missions on the difficulty levels “Hard” or “Challenging”.
If you manage all of this within the next seven days, you will receive 30 Phoenix Credits as a reward.
Note: Today, on April 26th, the mission “WarrenGate Power Plant” is both the daily mission on “Challenging” and a mission on “Hard”.
If you are scratching your head and wondering what this Simon is all about, feel free to check out the video transmissions from previous weeks:
Battleborn is coming out on May 3rd and recently we had the chance to have fun in the open beta. Therefore, we can name you eight reasons why the hero shooter from the creators of Borderlands truly rocks.
Battleborn is a mix of team shooter, coop spectacle, and MOBA. And since the latest game from the creators of Borderlands will be a classic Buy2Play title, you can’t just jump in and try out the game. But don’t worry, we were active in the open beta and discussed eight reasons why the game is worth it.
Unlike classic MOBAs like LoL, Dota2, or Heroes of the Storm, you play Battleborn from a first-person perspective like a shooter. But don’t worry, the missing overview is well compensated for by the detailed minimap, and skill shots can easily be done with a bit of practice.
Due to the first-person perspective, we are much closer to the action and experience it up close. This significantly increases immersion and the gaming feel. Battleborn is thus ideally suited for players who are comfortable with shooters and generally interested in MOBA gameplay.
2 – Wacky characters
Anyone who knows Borderlands knows that the developers at Gearbox place a lot of value on quirky and original characters. And Battleborn perfectly continues this tradition. The playable heroes are all original and quite bizarre.
Looking for examples? No problem, there is among others a cute little penguin in a mech suit, a four-armed anarcho-witch, a huge muscle mountain with a tiny head, a punk girl who sends a demon to attack her enemies, a ninja mushroom, and a flying luchador! Therefore, if you want to play more than just the usual hero clichés, Battleborn is the right choice.
3 – Delightfully dark humor
Just like the Borderlands games, Battleborn is filled with wickedly dark humor. This starts with the individual characters and their backstories and is deepened in the game through frequent comments from the characters – for example, when a kill is made or when we get taken out ourselves.
However, the humor comes across best in the coop mode. For example, when we fight against a multi-legged guard robot that thinks it is “Arachnis, the Spider King” and constantly talks about what super spider powers it has. In another mission, we accompany another hefty battle robot who, despite numerous hints like “Operation Death March,” still doesn’t realize that he has to sacrifice himself with an atomic bomb on his back for the good of the team.
4 – Fun coop mode
Are battles against other players not your thing? Did you find the coop mode in Borderlands super? No problem, because besides the MOBA mode, you can also play Battleborn cooperatively with other players. In its missions, we blast through hordes of enemies and follow the storyline through excitingly staged levels.
In coop mode, we can complete story missions together with friends.
These missions always have a clever story as a backdrop and are full of cool moments. Moreover, teamwork is essential to successfully navigate through the missions.
5 – Easy to get into
Battleborn is easy to learn because each hero has only one weapon, which clearly defines their gameplay style. Additionally, each character has two regular skills, a passive ability, and an ultimate skill, which will only be unlocked later in the game.
In the skill menu, we can quickly select the appropriate upgrades when leveling up.
In addition, there is a very dynamic leveling system that offers us one of two upgrades for our skills with each level-up. The system is easy to overview and even easier to learn. This way, we can quickly get into the game and have more time to practice optimal tactics.
6 – Practical shop system
In addition to our fixed skills and weapons, we can carry three items before a match, which give us valuable bonuses. The items themselves come from loot crates that we earn in the game. However, the items are not easy to use.
For example, if we want to shoot faster or desire higher speed, we must activate the corresponding items first by collecting resources in the game world. The optional items give Battleborn more depth, and even two identical heroes are not the same.
7 – Meaningful building mechanics
The resources in the game world are not only used to activate items. At predefined points, we can build useful structures. For example, turrets, healing stations, or speed boosters. The latter temporarily increases our speed and that of our minions, allowing them to reach their target sooner.
Additionally, we earn experience points by building structures, allowing us to help our team and level up even if we are not the best shooter on the battlefield. More than one match in Battleborn has already been decided by a strategically well-placed turret or a helpful healing station.
8 – Thoughtful hero unlock system
The 25 heroes in Battleborn are not all available right from the start. Instead, you have to unlock most of them first. To do this, we need to display a corresponding gameplay style, complete specific PvE missions, or simply play long enough until our player account reaches a certain level.
The warrior Galilea is only available when we have defeated a total of 800 minions.
Since we do not have all the heroes at once, we are – especially as beginners – not immediately overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices and can gradually unlock our dream hero. And because of this method, we also get to play pretty much every character and get to know them naturally, understanding their strengths and weaknesses on the battlefield. Ideal when we have to face them in battle.
So, those are our eight reasons that speak for Battleborn. But what do you think of the game? Were you in the beta or did you find the game too colorful and too bizarre? Let us know your opinion and engage in lively discussions in the comments!
A second opinion from one of our readers can be found here:
Blizzard has officially commented on Nostalrius and the Classic servers for World of Warcraft .
A few weeks ago, Blizzard closed the “private server” Nostalrius through legal pressure. It hosted a very old version of World of Warcraft, with 150,000 active players playing under a different flag.
The closure of the server sparked a discussion: Why doesn’t Blizzard offer such Classic servers themselves when so many long for a way to play the old WoW?
Blizzard has been closely following the discussion
In a statement on Battlenet, Blizzard, represented by J. Allen Brack, has now addressed the situation regarding the Classic servers. Brack is the Executive Producer and Senior Vice President.
They have been closely monitoring the discussion about Nostalrius and Classic servers. The silence regarding the situation does not reflect the passion and attention with which Blizzard is following the topic.
Internally, they have been discussing “Classic Servers” for years, especially in the past few weeks. Some of these thoughts are now being shared publicly.
The end of Nostalrius – there was even a funeral march
Why couldn’t Nostalrius just be left alone?
This wasn’t possible because it would have harmed the rights by not acting against this copyright infringement. And there was no way to not act against it while still ensuring that the rights were protected.
If there were a button for Classic servers, Blizzard would press it
They have explored options to set up their own Classic servers. But this is associated with huge problems. If there were a button that could simply create such Classic servers, they would press it. However, the difficulties of integrating such servers are immense. Not to mention the hassle of maintaining multiple versions of World of Warcraft simultaneously.
Alternative: Pristine Realms
They have thought about “Pristine Realms.” These would be servers where certain features, such as accelerated leveling, heirlooms, character boosts, group finders, and cross-realm zones, would be disabled. But they don’t yet know if this would appeal to the fans.
In the meantime, they are in communication with some of the people who operated Nostalrius. They look forward to exchanging ideas with them in the coming weeks.

Information about the crafting system and resource management can be found in No Man’s Sky.
Without resources, you won’t get far in the upcoming space simulation No Man’s Sky. In an almost limitless, procedurally generated galaxy, you need enough supplies and decent equipment to avoid failing hopelessly right at the start of your journey.
So far, little was known about the resources, except that the elements are based in part on our periodic table, but also can be purely fictional. Now, further information has been released.
Crafting and Resource System in No Man’s Sky
In an interview with IGN, the founder of Hello Games Sean Murray discusses the essentials of the crafting system in No Man’s Sky and explains why you should always look for resources.

According to Murray, there are three important things you can upgrade: your ship, your weapon, and your spacesuit. Each of these three objects has its own unique inventory. There are various inventory slots: upgrade slots and item slots.
The player must make significant choices about whether to focus more on upgrades for their ship to add numerous functions or to build a large storage. Here, you will need to find a balance to store all the important resources while also being sufficiently equipped to survive in the galaxy.
On your exploration, you will find various ways to acquire crafting materials and resources, whether by exploring previously undiscovered planets, fighting wild creatures, raiding foreign trading ships, or destroying asteroids in space.
For example, you will need plutonium, which will serve as a source of fuel. You need fuel not only for your ship but also for weapons and certain shields of your spacesuit. In No Man’s Sky, nothing recharges automatically; you need to ensure that you have a supply. Here, the survival aspect of the game is heavily emphasized.
In the interview, Murray did not go into detail about how players can find the needed items in this vast galaxy. But No Man’s Sky also operates according to certain rules that players will discover, which will help them in their quest for a specific resource. Although all planets are uniquely generated, they still follow certain scientific principles.
As Murray states, temperature, vegetation, and indeed the resources depend in part on how far a given planet is from the nearest sun. But the task lies solely with the players to discover, understand, and thus quickly access the desired resources in the galaxy of No Man’s Sky.
In 2016 and 2017, a lot was planned for Black Desert. Naval battles and dark elves are awaiting players.
At Sea – a Pirate in Black Desert
Although Black Desert has only recently officially launched in Europe, fans are already thirsty for knowledge about new content. In a fairly extensive interview, mmorpg.com spoke with Daum Games (EU) and Pearl Abyss about the future of the game and revealed what players can expect in 2016 and 2017. We have listed the announced content for you.
Naval Battles in Black Desert
While there are already plenty of experiences on land in Black Desert, the sea remains almost entirely unused. Vast oceans are set to be added to the world, where there will be much to experience: in addition to proper navigation (for which you need a compass and nautical charts), it will also be possible to equip trade ships, thereby expanding your trading empire. If that sounds too boring, you can simply build a warship with your guild – as naval battles will also be an important part of this expansion.
Are you more of the explorer type? Of course, large seas do not come without sunken treasures, which you will have to dive for – there will be something for every play style.
Two New Areas: The Land of Elves and Giants
But the mainland will also be expanded. In total, at least two large zones will broaden the world. There is not much known about Dregan, the land of giants, but Kamasilvia, the land of elves, is different. The long ears have their own capital, Grandir, which is ruled by two queens simultaneously. Brolina and Herawen take care of most political matters.
Together with Kamasilvia, a new race/class combination comes: the dark elf or presumably “Dunkelelfe” in German.
Further Content Next Year
Apart from these two major innovations, there are many small things that the developers will also tackle. Among them:
New level 9 horses
Baby elephants (especially useful for traders)
The introduction of more awakening weapons
However, the criticism and suggestions from fans are still taken to heart. There will soon be support for voice chats to improve communication among players.
Please keep in mind that all announced content is only “provisional” and none of it is set in stone. There could still be bigger changes, and all announcements should be understood with a “perhaps”.
Players Will Be Able to Craft More Costumes – Many Other Fan Ideas Are (For Now) Rejected
Other popular fan ideas, such as a mobile app to manage workers on the go, or UI modifications, have been excluded for the time being. A “male ranger” is also not planned, as it seems that this cannot be included in the class spectrum.
Furthermore, the restrictions in the trading system remain, as they have proven to protect against bots and thus protect players’ performances. The developers are not big fans of traditional instanced dungeons, but they do not rule this out for all time; rather, they want to go in a different design direction to compensate for the absence of such elements.

Leveling in World of Warcraft goes quite fast. However, how quickly it can really be done is shown in this video.
After less than 5 hours at level 100 in World of Warcraft
Leveling in World of Warcraft is a game content that divides opinions. While many players view raising the maximum level as a tedious necessity to finally dive into the endgame, for others, leveling is the greatest fulfillment. Experiencing new stories and completing quests satisfies the collecting and completion urge for many or conveys the feeling of always needing to do something.
However, if one is not interested in “annoying leveling,” one can simply buy a level boost – or invest an evening. YouTuber Sodapoppin grabbed some friends and demonstrated in a livestream how to level from 1 to 100 in less than 5 hours. Check out the highlights of the stream here:

If you are now blinking in confusion and asking what cheats and hacks are being used, you are mistaken. Sodapoppin and his friends simply combine all the XP bonuses that can be obtained in the game.
The group combines the Elixir of Ancient Knowledge, which gives 300% additional XP (up to level 85), along with the Elixir of the Swift Mind, which also grants 300% XP (up to level 100). Additionally, there is the “Recruit a Friend” bonus, which offers another impressive 300%. The whole thing is rounded off with heirlooms that provide an additional 50% experience. Thus, the group has a total XP bonus of a staggering 950% for the first 85 levels!
After 2 hours and 15 minutes, the magical threshold of level 90 is reached. From there, it becomes a bit slower, mainly due to the mandatory introductory quest line for Draenor and “only” 350% bonus XP. After just under 4 hours and 45 minutes, it is all completed.

In The Division, weekly maintenance will be moved to Thursday. Today, on April 26th, the servers remain online.
Since the launch of The Division, maintenance has taken place every Tuesday from 9 AM to 12 PM on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. The developers take down the servers during this time to deploy patches or work on the servers in the background.
This week, the weekly schedule at Massive changes: Maintenance will now take place on Thursdays. However, the times should not change. The server downtime will therefore also last three hours on Thursday.
On Tuesday, April 26th, the server status of The Division will be “online” all day.
However, this schedule change does not affect the weekly rewards and missions. These will continue to refresh on Tuesday.
Please note that Weekly Maintenance will now take place on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays (same time). There will be no maintenance tomorrow.
What gameplay changes the maintenance on Thursday will bring is still unknown. But there are still a few issues in The Division, that the developers may need to address soon.

The first expansion of Monster Hunter Online expands the game with 8 new creatures and plenty of weapons.
The Elder Dragon masters all elements
As the developers from Tencent have announced, Monster Hunter Online will receive its first major update tomorrow, on April 26, 2016. Particularly powerful is said to be the “Elder Dragon,” which has settled in the game’s volcanic region and can use all 5 elements simultaneously. This makes it an opponent that is difficult to counter and will likely consume a lot of healing potions.
For the distant future of the game, 8 additional monsters are already planned. There is no concrete date for this yet, but they would like to announce it “soon.” At least on the test server, some of the specimens could already be sighted, but it’s best to check out the pictures yourself (click to enlarge).
New monsters naturally come with new loot and thus better equipment that can be crafted from the remains of the creatures.
There are no new updates for western fans. Whether the game will ever come to Europe remains unclear (and is quite well hidden in the stars).
This is all happening faster than expected. Today, the DLC “Dark Brotherhood” was released on the PC test server, and the release dates for the live version are already known.
For PC and Mac, it will be on May 31.
For Playstation 4 and Xbox One, it starts on June 14.
Both dates are Tuesdays. Active members will be able to play the DLC at no additional cost, while players without ESO Plus can unlock it for 2000 crowns.

In addition to the increased frame rate, the patch also brings the new hunter Jing Wei, who stands out with her unique flight abilities and exhibits extremely high mobility. Furthermore, the event “Escape of the Underworld” is also unlocked, which has been running on PC for several weeks already.
Special quests reward with additional display images, and dark skins for various gods await in exchange for jewels. During the event’s duration, the arena will be redecorated, and at the end of each match, there is a small “Sudden Death” finale: a final team fight for additional followers (the mastery level of the gods).
On Xbox One, patch 3.6 will already arrive tomorrow, on April 26, while on PlayStation 4, you will have to wait one more day, as it will be released on April 27.

At the PAX East game fair, Soulbound Studios presented an updated pre-alpha of the upcoming MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria and announced some new information.
The combat system was playable at the fair. One could see how fast it is and how much it resembles fencing. Players dance around each other, trying to find a gap in the opponent’s defense, jumping forward and striking. The whole thing is very action-oriented and fast-paced, requiring keen attention. The developers aimed to avoid the skills-in-a-hotbar combat system known from other MMOs, so that the battles truly feel “real”.
It was intended to become more of a dance, and apparently, it seems to work well. Blocking, parrying, dodging, and striking accurately are the elements that lead to victory.
Your hero changes over the course of the game
Additionally, they showed how the character will change over time. In Chronicles of Elyria, the character will age and die after about a year. The aging process will be visible. One’s appearance will age until one eventually controls a character around 70 years old.
Moreover, behavior also alters the character of the hero. For example, someone who only munches on cake will become fat. Someone who forges a lot will develop a muscular hero. The customization of the character does not end with the creation of the hero but continues throughout the entire gameplay.
The team is currently preparing for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. This will launch on May 3rd, and they aim to raise at least $900,000 to realize the grand vision behind the MMORPG. The team is passionately engaged and working on a game that weaves the sandbox mechanics of known MMOs with personal stories, a vast world, and interesting combat and aging mechanics.

This time there are new quest objectives for the season journey, and also changing achievements and rewards await us in Season 6 of Diablo 3.
The developers at D3 have made some adjustments to the game for the upcoming new Season 6, so that players have a more exciting experience while playing. With the start of each new season, the quest objectives are now supposed to rotate, providing a bit more variety in the game. Additionally, the requirements for Haedrig’s gift, through which you receive a set as a gift, have been changed for this season in Diablo 3.
Requirements for Gifted Sets in Season 6
Set rewards in Season 6
You must complete the following quest conditions to receive the special set items as rewards:
Stage 3 – Reaching Level 70
Stage 4 – Defeating Izual at Level 70 on Torment 2 difficulty or higher
Stage 4 – Completing a Greater Nephalem Rift (Level 20) in solo play
As a reward, you will receive a complete class set for one class – this also counts for hardcore heroes. You should carefully consider which class you choose to receive the following sets as a gift.
Barbarian: The Legacy of Raekor
Crusader: Akkhan’s Armor
Demon Hunter: The Marauder’s Gear
Monk: Inna’s Influence
Witch Doctor: Zunimassa’s Haunt
Wizard: Delseres Magnum Opus
Reworked Achievements in the New Diablo 3 Season
Reworked achievements for the new season
In the new season of D3, the various achievements are an important point for the players. However, since the sets and different character classes have become stronger, these achievements have been slightly reworked and adjusted. For the achievement Speed Demon or Boss Mode, you need to achieve a specific goal within a narrow timeframe. Simply Divine is what you will be if you successfully complete a Greater Nephalem Rift of level 75.
So get ready and choose your starter class with which you want to grab the gifted set. On Friday, April 29th, it starts at 5:00 PM – provided the servers can handle the spectacle.

In Destiny, since the April update, there are Sterling Treasures, cube-shaped objects that contain delicious new items. We summarize all the information about it.
Since the April update, a lot has changed in Destiny: The light level goes up to 335, the once Guardian-abandoned Prison of Elders is full of players again, and old Year 1 weapons are back in style. The Sterling Treasures are also new.
A Sterling Treasure is a new consumable item in Destiny that grants you items when you use it. But how do you obtain the Sterling Treasures? And what is actually inside?
How to Get Sterling Treasures in Destiny
Each week you have the chance to snag three Sterling Treasures. Here are the sources:
Visit the Post Office every week: A fresh Sterling Treasure is delivered to you at the Post Office in the Tower every Tuesday, which you can pick up for free. This way, you get the chance for new items once a week without having to do anything.
Complete the Prison of Elders at Level 41: To get this weekly Sterling Treasure, you need to delve into the Prison of Elders and fulfill your duties as a Guardian. You don’t get this Sterling Treasure for free – however, if your Guardians have high light levels, this challenge shouldn’t be too difficult. Go grab the treasure!
Complete a game from the Crucible playlist: Even Guardians who are reluctant to step into the Prison of Elders, preferring to frolic in the Crucible, get a chance to snag an additional Sterling Treasure.
These are the three weekly opportunities to obtain Sterling Treasures in the game. By the way, these treasures are account-wide, meaning that if you have already gotten them with your main Guardian, other characters will not receive any more.
However, you also have the option to purchase 200 Silver Sterling Treasures in the Eververse. If three Sterling Treasures per week are not enough for you and you’re willing to invest a few euros, you can indulge here as you please.
What Do the Sterling Treasures in Destiny Contain?
But what’s actually inside? Is it worth it to grind for Sterling Treasures?
These cubes contain Chromatin, which are objects that can make your Guardian’s gear glow. In addition, you have the chance to get Chromatin-approved gear with Sterling Treasures, which always comes at Level 3. Since infusing now works 1:1, this shouldn’t cause too many issues.

Sterling Treasures contain one guaranteed and up to four possible items. Here are the items you can find in Sterling Treasures:
McCree, the gunslinger from Overwatch, now has his own comic – learn more about his backstory here.
McCree on the Train – Comic of the Gunslinger
To prepare fans a little more for Overwatch, Blizzard has been releasing more and more material about the backstory of Overwatch in recent weeks. After the monkey from the moon, Winston, and the sexy sniper Widowmaker have already had their own cinematic, it is now McCree’s turn to be highlighted in more detail.
Although the comic is relatively short at 10 pages, it conveys a bit more personality of the gunslinger with the robotic arm, who can shoot faster than Lucky Luke. However, the story also leaves the reader with many questions – what exactly was being searched for on the train? Why is McCree still considered a wanted terrorist by Overwatch despite his “redemption”?
Unlike previous releases, this piece leaves fans with a hunger in their stomach – a bit like a teaser for an upcoming episode of their favorite series: While one is glad to have seen the heroes, one is not any wiser than before.

Currently, a statement from a “FOX News” moderator about Ubisoft’s MMO shooter is causing a stir in The Division.
Instead of another annoying report that we have had to write more often in recent weeks, there is something amusing to share about The Division today. Only for the game’s developers, the following may not have been too amusing.
Andy Levy from FOX News left Ubisoft’s MMO shooter in a poor light during a satirical live broadcast with a pointed remark:
It was about a contribution regarding the basic skills an 18-year-old needs today to succeed in college and later in life. Besides obvious points like the ability to talk to strangers or manage money, there was also a skill added, obviously by Fox News itself, which was to improve their character in The Division.
After Levy read this last point, he quickly added the remark:
… and that despite the way Massive nerfed the crafting system and allowed a bunch of super-equipped rogues to wipe you out in the Dark Zone. Thank you, idiot.
