Yelling Wednesday Overwatch: Just play a healer!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes
Overwatch Mercy

I wish you all a healing Wednesday. Why healing? Quite simply, that’s my topic today. I’m sure I’ve already gotten worked up about this in the past (or multiple times), but recent events keep bringing this topic to the surface. For the grand finale of the closed beta of Overwatch, I’m complaining once again about my dear teammates. No, I’m actually doing a disservice to a large number of people – I mean a very special group.

Hail, you pig!

“Cortyn, pick heal or leave!!!!” is not exactly the friendly request that can make me play a healer in Overwatch. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy healing. I like Mercy, Lucio, or Zenyatta and enjoy playing them if the team needs it or if I’m asked nicely.

If the only tank of the group asks me if I can support him with healing – no problem, gladly! But when I hear the 3rd sniper in the team scream that I should please play a healer, I have the urgent desire to insert my keyboard orally and sideways so that my account cannot be banned for massive insults. Fortunately, I usually swallow that down. Along with the cable.

Wow priest healer

Perhaps it’s just selective perception, but it feels like it’s always exactly these people who are screaming, who are playing something that is not beneficial to the victory at all. Hey, are we on the attacking side? Better bring along the 3rd sniper so we can really defend our spawn area safely!

I suspect that this plague has simply been transferred from League of Legends, SMITE and all the other MOBAs to Overwatch as well. In the spirit of: Whoever logs in first gets to play what they want. Completely disregarding what the rest of the players would like – first come, first served!

How do you see the whole thing? Do you give in to such whiners and demanders and switch to a healer? Or do you stand firm, even if it could diminish the success of the group? And above all: Do you actually enjoy playing healers?

The Division: Keine Challenge-Mode-Mission am 13.4.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In The Division, agents cannot play the daily mission on the “Challenging” difficulty today.

“Never play on Patch Day.” This old gaming wisdom was partially true yesterday in The Division, the problems that occurred have already been fixed or are actively being worked on. But even today, the day after, not everything is running smoothly in the post-apocalypse of New York.

Today, the daily mission in the Challenge Mode is missing, it is not displayed on the map. However, the dailies on “Hard” are available.

Via Twitter, the developers have already commented that they are aware of the issue. However, they are not able to solve the problem today. They assure that the Challenge Mode will return tomorrow.

Even the last few days before update 1.1 had severe issues with the daily missions. It was hoped that all annoyances regarding this would be eliminated with the patch. Let’s hope that today’s problem will remain an exception.

ArcheAge: Fun in the “Heated Pool” causes stress

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Going splashing and being able to sleep more? In ArcheAge this is now available to anyone willing to reach deep into their pockets.

Double Work Points thanks to Bathing Fun

Anyone looking to spend real money in the MMORPG ArcheAge in the coming days will receive some nice bonuses that will trigger a Pay2Win outcry. Anyone who invests a solid 100€ in a credit pack between April 8 and April 19 will receive a special decorative item in addition to the credits, which can be placed in the house by a character. The heated pool can accommodate up to 4 players who can relax and unwind in it.

The catch: For the homeowner, using the pool will grant the “Clear Mind” debuff once a day, allowing them to sleep 2 times a day. This means that they can generate twice as many work points through sleeping as other players who do not have access to the hot pool. “Guests” cannot benefit from this advantage; it is only active for the property owner – so it’s not enough to know a rich friend and sneak into their bathtub with dubious promises.

While some may be annoyed by this, ArcheAge veterans say: Who still sleeps for work points? That’s what Twinks are for.

ArcheAge Hot Tub Flowers

As a little cherry on top, there are also 2 plant decorations that thematically fit perfectly with the hot tub – but looking at the functionality of the bathing pleasure, the plants immediately fade into the background.

In the cheaper package for 50€, there’s also a small bonus, but this is significantly less impactful. With the purchase of such a package, 100 loyalty tokens are added, which can be freely used to purchase various bonuses.

Destiny: Foul Chalice – This is how the new Strike goes – Nightfall is also

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny a new Strike called Fauliger Kelch was released yesterday. We will show it to you.

Actually, the S.A.B.E.R. Strike was the Nightfall Strike in Destiny yesterday. But that changed with the patch in the evening, as they elevated the new Strike “Fauliger Kelch”, the Malok Strike, to Nightfall status.

Modifiers are:

  • Voidburn – Void damage is significantly increased.
  • Berserker – Enemies do not flinch.
  • Specialist – Special weapon damage is preferred.
  • Juggler – Defeated enemies do not drop ammunition for the weapon currently wielded by the Guardian.

The modifiers apply for this week now. If Fauliger Kelch is the Nightfall Strike next time, it could be something completely different.

We will show you how 3 experienced Guardians tackle the new Strike “Fauliger Kelch” in Destiny. Our friend Nexxoss has created a video guide:

The Division: Hotfix dampens Highend flood, armors tanks – but agents are missing

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the MMO shooter The Division, Ubisoft released a hotfix yesterday.

We reported yesterday that in The Division a yellow fever has broken out. Some named enemies dropped four high-end items upon their defeat. That was definitely too much. We suspected yesterday that it wouldn’t stay that way.

division-highends

And indeed, a hotfix for The Division came after midnight yesterday:

  • Now, the named enemies in challenge mode will only guarantee one high-end item.
  • Additionally, they adjusted the APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) in the new operations. The armored vehicle was likely buggy; it should no longer take damage from player weapons and its mortar should fire correctly.

This means the operation may have gained significantly in difficulty.

However, the hotfix could not solve one problem: Some players simply cannot find their agents. They disappeared with update 1.1. This is a complicated issue that Ubisoft is working on. It is said that further investigations are necessary.

Overwatch: Endlich! Das letzte Beta-Wochenende naht

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard invites players one last time to the closed beta of Overwatch . We have the date and more details.

This weekend marks the start of the last Overwatch Beta weekend

Overwatch Dva jump

The development of Overwatch is nearing completion, as it will only be a few weeks until Blizzard’s hero shooter is released. To put the servers through one last intensive stress test, Blizzard invites a large number of players one last time before the shooter leaves the closed beta.

By the evening of Thursday, April 14, 2016, all accounts that were chosen for the beta should have been “flagged.” You can check this in several ways. Either you visit the account management of Battle.net or simply check the Battle.net launcher, as there should be an “Install” button available for “Overwatch” as soon as you are selected. Alternatively, emails will be sent to all participants, but these may sometimes “arrive delayed”, which is why checking the launcher provides quicker certainty.

From Friday evening until Saturday night (April 15 and 16), all testers can then try most of Overwatch’s game content. All 21 heroes are available, as well as all maps and the progression system. However, one will have to forgo ranked mode and the weekly “Brawls.”

Overwatch Winston junior Lore

This time, “more players than ever before” are to be invited to the beta. Who hasn’t had the chance yet could finally get to enjoy the game now!

Blizzard especially seeks feedback regarding the servers, as they want to push the technology “to its limits” to see how much the servers can take and at what load they will crash. At the same time, they want to know how smoothly the game runs for individual players. To this end, all beta participants will also have access to the relevant forums for the duration of the weekend.

You can find more news and articles about the hero shooter on our Overwatch topic page.

Bei Project Gorgon könnt Ihr einen Marktstand mieten

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In an MMORPG, one wants to sell found and crafted items quickly and profitably. This is made possible by the MMO Project Gorgon through sales stands.

Every hero always carries a lot of items with them, just like every craftsman. What you don’t need yourself, you naturally want to sell. However, going around selling everywhere is not an effective method. The MMORPG Project Gorgon offers an interesting possibility.

Project Gorgon character
Rent market stalls

Every player can have a sales stand and sell their goods either themselves or through a hired NPC. You rent the stand, hire the NPC, and put the goods up for sale that you want to offer. With the NPC seller, you can even offer the items around the clock. It’s up to you how you want to decorate your stand. The more eye-catching, the more potential customers you attract.

You can also retrieve detailed information on every sale. This way, you can see who bought which items and in what quantity. Players can also reserve items. These are then only visible to them and cannot be bought by others. To rent a market stall, you need to train your hero in the skill “Retail Management”. Stands can always be rented for 30 days, after which the rental price increases.

The return to the classics

Project Gorgon

The MMORPG Project Gorgon aims to provide a classic gaming experience, drawing inspiration from Everquest. You can do whatever you want in the sandbox world. If you don’t want to be a craftsman or trader, you are free to explore the world and fight monsters there. PvP is possible in certain zones, but it does not represent the focus of the RPG. Currently, Project Gorgon is still in an Alpha phase, which everyone can participate in.

The MMORPG Revelation will also be released in Europe and the USA.

The Chinese developer NetEase announced that they have found a publisher for the western market. However, they have not yet revealed who it is. What is certain is that the MMORPG will be released in four languages: German, English, French, and Russian.

Revelation will be released in German

Revelation is the first MMORPG from NetEase that will be published on the western market. This is expected to happen as quickly as possible, which is why localization is now being accelerated. In addition, there are already plans to launch the game in even more regions and languages.

Meanwhile in China, the launch of the Open Beta is approaching, scheduled for April 22. This phase will bring Cross-Realm PvP and a setting for maximum graphical excellence. Additionally, they will introduce the epic raid dungeon “Dragon’s Abyss.” This is divided into six sectors where you must face ten boss enemies. The developers indicate that a new guild should take about two to three months to master this raid.

An epic raid

The raid is available in three difficulty levels. The easiest can be completed from level 59, which is expected to be achievable in about two to three weeks. In the harder difficulty levels, better items can be found. However, the best gear in the game can only be crafted. The developers state that they spent about two years designing, developing, and finding the right balance for “Dragon’s Abyss.”

The patch notes for the April update are here – Nightfall Strike and Raid will be more rewarding

Update: The patch notes for the April update can be found here.

We summarize the key information that we did not have before at a glance:

  • In the weekly Nightfall Strike, items with 330 Light can now drop.(The recommended light level also increases to 320).
  • Additionally, in the King’s Fall Raid, the drop chances for weapons and armor have been increased – this applies to both the normal and heroic version.
  • 10 weapons of the Queen will return to the Prison of Elders. You will be able to obtain 5 Fallen weapons as reputation rewards from Variks. It is likely that you will be able to apply Chroma to these 15 weapons.
  • Also important: The Light increase in the Raid of Destiny has made it into the patch. This likely refers to the 335 Light in hard mode. As Bungie reports via community manager Cozmo: You can now raid without concerns. No one has to wait for a hotfix as originally announced.

A major announcement regarding the changes to the weapon balance, including Exotics, can be read in German here – with all the wonderful percentages and the small changes that every Destiny fan loves so dearly.

Black Desert: New classes “Musa” and “Maewha” are coming next week

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Two new classes will be added in April to Black Desert. We will tell you when Musa and Maehwa are taking off with us!

Musa and Maehwa – 2 genders of the same profession

Black Desert continues to make significant efforts to bring the content from Korea to the West as quickly as possible. On April 20, the next step in this direction will be taken, as 2 more classes will be added: Musa and Maehwa will make their appearance.

The Musa is a nimble melee fighter capable of unleashing quick, deadly combinations. However, a wrong step can quickly lead to one’s demise, as the defensive values of this class are virtually non-existent. The melee fighter especially excels in battles against multiple enemies, as numerous attacks cause high area damage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwSkD7q8DdA&feature=youtu.be

The Maehwa is the female counterpart to the Musa. While most abilities are similar, the Maehwa has a significantly stronger focus on single targets and can even briefly stun them to transition into a final attack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79iyR7Yl3L0&feature=youtu.be

In addition to strong melee attacks, both classes, previously known as Blader and Plum, can also rely on their short bows and have some abilities in their repertoire that allow them to cause havoc over greater distances – or at least prepare for the next melee attack.

Named enemies drop up to four high-end items

Reports are already piling up on reddit that the named Challenge bosses leave up to four high-end items once defeated. “Proof images” did not take long to appear, such as the following:

A reddit user is already keeping a list of reports regarding high-end drops from named Challenge bosses. So far, all reports unanimously state that four high-end items await you at the Lexington Event Center as a reward.

However, the official Division website states that the named enemies would only drop one guaranteed high-end item. Massive has not yet commented on this high-end downpour.

H1Z1: Players build autodrome in the zombie game, while the developers struggle with problems

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In H1Z1 it’s all about cars and problems.

The good and the bad are often closely connected. In a producer letter, the head of H1Z1 addressed the fans of the shooter part “King of the Kill.” Essentially, it can be summarized as “Guys, we have problems.”

Recently, the team announced that they would spend more time polishing and testing the content: The patches are full of bugs, and there is dissatisfaction. Some of the issues are now so severe that it would take too long to find a proper solution, so they are pulling the plug and disabling the features:

  • Cars are flying through the air, and they have temporarily disabled them in the Box of Destiny. The Box of Destiny is the lobby for Battle Royale games.
  • The fog is too foggy, so they’ve turned it off completely.
  • The weapons are not working as planned, and the producer assures that they need to address this.

1 year after the launch in Early Access, the now two H1Z1 games still face numerous issues. The structural decision to polish the shooter part now and release it in summer, also for consoles, reveals how much fine-tuning is still needed.

LoL: Riot versenkt Nautilus vor der australischen Küste

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

Developer RiotGames not only cares about the players of League of Legends (LoL), but also takes care of the environment.

In January 2015, LoL players from New Zealand and Australia had the opportunity to participate in a huge event to do something good for the environment. Players from the corresponding League of Legends servers could earn points after a game if they met certain requirements.

The community had to reach 275,000 points by playing LoL

LoL Nautilus Project Drawing

During the aforementioned point collection, there were various milestones that the community could achieve together. For this, there were time-limited skins or also increased chances for Legendary skins. Each player could contribute only one point to the community points pool for a victory. The big goal was 275,000 points so that RiotGames could sink an artificial reef in the shape of the LoL champion Nautilus into the sea. The choice of Nautilus was also decided by the community. The heroes Nami and Fizz were also options.

The Division: “DZ-Rang 1” is just a display error, compensations for daily missions bug

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Recently, the State of  the Game for this week concluded at The Division. We summarize the information provided in this status report.

The community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau spoke about Update 1.1 during today’s maintenance, which has been available since 12 PM. In the “State of the Game” livestream, they briefly touched upon the new content in The Division that you can read about here.

division-brücke

They also revealed new information, which we want to summarize compactly below.

Daily and weekly missions are live, Daily Missions are back

In recent days, agents were unable to complete daily missions due to a bug. This problem is being fixed today, and these missions are available again. Since agents could not earn Phoenix Credits from this source on those days, Yannick Banchereau announced that there would be compensations. This compensation will be in the form of Phoenix Credits. The amount that will be given to the agents has not been specified.

Additionally, the daily and weekly missions are going live immediately:

  • Every day, three different missions (for combat, crafting, and Dark Zone) are assigned, giving agents 24 hours to complete them. Today, enemies must be eliminated, crafting materials converted, and LMB enemies taken out in the Dark Zone. Rewards include Phoenix Credits, Division Tech, and DZ experience.
  • The weekly mission consists of four tasks, which you have 7 days to complete. A new weekly mission is released every Tuesday. In the end, you will be rewarded with 30 Phoenix Credits.

During the stream, it was observed in the chat that players find 30 credits somewhat meager for a weekly mission. Yannick Banchereau pointed out that most tasks could be completed alongside.

New problem with “DZ Rank 1” is just a display issue

the-division-dark-zone

During the stream, it was mentioned that some agents will have a “problem” during character selection: It will show that they are DZ Rank 1. However, this is just a display issue; in the game, you will regain your previous rank in the Dark Zone. Nothing has been reset, so there is no need to worry.

Further information discussed:

  • The issue with the backpack bug is hoped to be mostly resolved. However, the team is still working on this complex problem.
  • In trading, you can only “drop” an item for one hour after picking it up. The patch notes state that this is possible for 2 hours.
  • New blueprints will only be available from DZ Rank 75 and 90. We have already reported about this here.
  • The gear sets consist of a total of six pieces. However, you only need four to unlock each unique talent.
  • The Dark Zone specialty vendor now sells his items for DZ currency instead of Phoenix Credits.

All of this has been available since 12 PM today.

WoW Nostalrius Shutdown Suicidemarch

The players of the private server Nostalrius were hit hard by the news. The illegal World of Warcraft server, which aimed to revive the “Vanilla” experience on Classic, was shut down during the night from April 10 to 11. We have already addressed the exact reasons in this post.

Since the shutdown was announced in advance, players took the opportunity to say goodbye to their characters and organized a virtual “suicide march.” Hundreds of characters set off together from Orgrimmar, traversed Durotar, the Barrens, and Mulgore, to finally ascend Thunderbluff and plunge to their deaths. The entire march is said to have lasted more than an hour.

In the last minutes of the server, there was a large gathering of all players in front of Ironforge, who loudly thanked for the server and the beautiful memories one last time. One last time, magical effects were thrown around, and they danced, laughed, and cried together… before the connection was lost. Probably forever.

The team behind Nostalrius has also started its own petition to ask Blizzard to reconsider Classic servers. So far, the open letter has received support from nearly 80,000 people – perhaps a heart can be softened with this.

According to its own statements, the Nostalrius website had over 800,000 registered accounts, of which 150,000 were actually active players. At its peak, more than 18,000 players were logged in simultaneously.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, an info graphic was presented that shows statistics about the game. Additionally, the MMO shooter leads the PlayStation Store charts for the month of March.

Ubisoft Massive has released an info graphic containing some statistics gathered in the first month of The Division. Alongside interesting figures, there are also a few pieces of information that fall under the category of “nice to know, but not essential.”

These statistics revealed by Massive about The Division

Below is the info graphic with the stats:

This can be gathered from the graphic:

  • 57.2% of the average playtime, the agents were on their own. The rest of the time, they strolled together in teams through the streets of New York. If you are one of the lone wolves who prefer to cooperate with other players only in exceptional cases, we have presented a solo build for The Division here.
  • A total of 17,258,683,433 enemies were eliminated. Good job, agents!
  • The Classic AK-47 was the most frequently used primary weapon in the first month.
  • 250 million needy citizens could count on your help.
  • The most worn jacket is the “Simple Cargo Jacket,” and the most worn shirt is the Training Hoodie.
  • Additionally, 150 million jumping jacks were performed. With this gesture, one can express, for example, in the Dark Zone that no shots should be fired. Usually, however, people just clown around with friends or random encounters.

Destiny: Dämmerungsstrike and Raid Challenge on 12.4. before the patch [Update: New Nightfall]

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Today, major changes are coming to the MMO shooter Destiny . What does the Weekly Reset bring for Nightfall Strikes and Raids?

It’s a tough situation today. The actual Destiny day starts at 11:00 AM, but everything changes at 7:00 PM: The April Patch is coming tonight and will shake up the world of Destiny. The Light level will rise to 335, along with the quality of rewards.

The question is: Is it even worth it to tackle one of the activities before the evening, or does it squander a chance at better items?

There was no information from Bungie beforehand regarding the reset, whether to skip it or start later. So we can’t provide a fact-based recommendation.

Our tip: Hold back with the activities and wait for tonight. What do you really have to lose? Currently, there isn’t much to gain in the “old activities” for most players.

Destiny-Saber

This is the Nightfall Strike on April 12: Fallen S.A.B.E.R.

Update: With yesterday’s patch, the Nightfall Strike has changed. The new Nightfall is “Foul Chalice”. You can find the info in this article.

It’s set on Earth in the strike with the most feared opening sequence.

Modifiers are:

  • Berserker – Enemies do not back away
  • Specialist – Special weapon damage is preferred
  • Armored Ship – More enemies have shields
  • Aerial – Guardians deal more damage in the air

These items are wanted by the factions

  • Eris Morn wants Hadium Flakes.
  • The Future War Cult is eager for Wormspores.
  • Dead Orbit and New Monarchy want Relic Iron.
  • Remember: Wait to reach a new reputation level before the patch comes and the factions receive new rewards.
    Golgoroth-Destiny

The Raid Challenge on April 12 is Golgoroth

Golgoroth is up today. We’ll tell you how to tackle him so that he drops extra loot in this article.

Changes in item values are also announced for the raid: It will go up to 330. The 335 loot is supposed to come “later” with a hotfix. When exactly that will be and whether it’s worth waiting with the raiding this week is unknown. We just don’t know when the hotfix will come and whether it will be this week.

The Court of Oryx is Kagoor

The boss in the Court of Oryx, Tier 3, is Kagoor. She’s the lady accompanied by Ogres.

For the Court of Oryx, you should definitely wait until tonight. It’s known that they want to drop higher-tier items.

Videos, tips and tricks for the challenges this week?
