WoW: Legion – Mythic Dungeons get “Diablo 3” mechanics – Always harder

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Mythic dungeons in WoW: Legion will be a bit more challenging. Additional modifiers make the instances more exciting.

Ongoing issues in mythic instances

WoW Legion Dungeon Ship

Instances in World of Warcraft have had a significant problem since Classic. Either they are quite difficult (like at the start of Cataclysm) or they are extremely easy (Mists of Pandaria). Either way, the issue is that as players’ gear increases, the once challenging instances lose much of their difficulty and thus fun. In Legion, they want to solve this problem a bit more creatively than they did with the Challenge Mode.

Those who desire can use so-called Challenge Stones in mythic instances in Legion to further increase the difficulty of the dungeon. These stones are initially socketed in item slots – once that is done, a timer begins for the instance during which it must be completed. However, the time limit is not the real hurdle, but the special properties of the stone. Completing the dungeons makes the stone more powerful, and you can reuse it. The more powerful the stone used, the harder the dungeon, and the better the additional rewards waiting at the end.

It gets really exciting when the stone reaches level 3 or level 6, as then the mythic dungeons gain additional “properties” that turn the instance visit into a real torture and challenge all players significantly.

Level 3

  • Tyrannical: The bosses of the instance are stronger and have more health.
  • Empowering: Killing trash mobs empowers other trash mobs nearby.
  • Enraged: Trash mobs deal double damage when their HP is low.
  • Swarming: Additional trash mobs and patrols populate the instance.

Level 6

  • Necrotic: Opposing melee fighters inflict a debuff that reduces healing received and deals damage over time.
  • Volcanic: Enemies create volcanic eruptions under all ranged attackers that deal additional damage.
  • Nervous: Tanks generate much less threat.
  • Decay: All group members suffer constant damage throughout the entire instance.

Depending on the combination, this can become relatively difficult for healers, tanks, or DPS. Blizzard is currently gathering player feedback to find out which modifiers and combinations are enjoyable and which are just “annoying”.

The goal in Legion will be to make the stone and its modifications continuously stronger to secure the best rewards. However, caution is also advised: A failed attempt means that the stone will be reset. At least this is the current plan, which may change during the beta.

Tree of Savior: Gilden-PvP kommt bald, Handel eingeschränkt

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Tree of Savior, you take a look into the future while also restricting player trading.

Restrict trading to expose botters

An extensive article on the official site of Tree of Savior discusses the player trading system. After a trade is successfully completed, 48 hours pass before gold and items actually change hands. This allows the developers to detect suspicious activities, thus exposing gold sellers and botters before they can cause real damage to the server economy.

Tree-of-Savior-screenshot-3

However, the developers know that this system is not completely satisfactory and hope to develop an automated system in the future that will automatically filter harmful activities. Then, a time span of 48 hours would no longer be necessary.

Guild PvP – Protecting and destroying towers

Furthermore, a first glimpse into the future of the game is offered, and how it should progress after the official Free2Play launch. One of the biggest features will be the guild battles, where two guilds face off against each other. This will be possible twice a day. Strategy and planning are important as both guilds spawn on the large map at one of eight different points.

Tree of Savior Guild PvP

The goal is to destroy the opposing guild’s tower before your own tower falls – but that tower must first be found! At the start of a battle, you do not know where the enemy team starts. The top 10 guilds on a server will be showered with rewards at the end of the week before their earned ranking is reset and the fun begins anew.

No specific date for the guild battles has been announced yet, but the developers want to keep fans informed. We will report as soon as there are new informations.

The Division: No daily tasks – Is the code out? [Update: Statement from the developers]

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter The Division , daily tasks are also missing on Sunday. A user has an explanation.

Update: There is now a statement from the developers on Twitter: The problems will be resolved with the update on April 12. Until then, there will be no daily missions. They apologize for the inconvenience. This seems to fully confirm the theory we present in the article.

Original Article:

Since yesterday, there have been no daily tasks in The Division. Even today on Sunday, players have to forgo this activity and the associated Phoenix Credits.

When civilization collapses, players can handle it easily. But woe to the daily routine being disrupted. Then the protest is great.

The developers have communicated via Twitter that they are aware of the problem and want to take a closer look, but nothing more has been said. Understandably: It’s also the weekend.

division-bliss

Player Says: Daily Missions Are Not Generated Automatically, But Are Coded In

An explanation for the puzzling problem (“How can this happen?”) is provided by a player in the reddit forum. He took a closer look at the code of The Division. He unpacked and analyzed a file that every player has on their computer.

In doing so, he found that: The daily missions are not generated automatically, but are coded in the game. And the last entry found was for April 8, for Friday. That was also the last day there were normal daily missions in The Division.

No code exists in the file for Saturday, Sunday, and the days after: Consequently, there are also no daily missions. A new patch must probably come that provides new data.

In The Division, the Code is Probably Out

division-übergriffe

The player’s theory on this: Massive probably wanted to deploy the next patch last week, which would have also brought new daily missions. According to the theory, the patch may have been delayed, and Massive overlooked that this also led to the “daily missions” running out.

At the moment this is speculation, there is no statement from the developers on this. However, it sounds quirky but quite plausible. If this theory is correct, there should also be no daily missions tomorrow, on Monday. From Tuesday afternoon, when 1.1 comes out, everything in The Division should return to normal.

The action MMORPG Marvel Heroes 2016 has brought the next hero directly from television.

The heroes from the big screen have long been part of Marvel Heroes 2016. Players can long take on the role of Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and many other characters, battling, shooting, or gliding in a Diablo-like brawler.

But Marvel is not only found there and in the comics; they have now also discovered the small screen, television. Series like Jessica Jones and Daredevil are making waves on Netflix. From the second season of Daredevil, Marvel Heroes has now “snatched” Elektra and made her the 57th hero in the action MMORPG. Recently, they even gave Daredevil away personally.

WoW: Legion – Die Artefaktwaffen der Paladine

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 5 minutes

We present to you the three artifact weapons that Paladins can acquire in World of Warcraft: Legion.

In the upcoming expansion Legion of World of Warcraft, a lot will revolve around the so-called artifact weapons. These are powerful relics that players wield as weapons and gain power and strength throughout the entire expansion. Each specialization receives its own weapon, so a total of 3 artifacts are available for the Paladin. Let us take a look at the individual weapons.

Holy – The Silver Hand (Artifact for Healing Paladins)

WoW Legion Artifact Pal Silver Hand

Background story: When the Guardians, the direct emissaries of the Titans, still ruled over Azeroth and its development, Guardian Tyr used the Silver Hand as a weapon to defeat the enemies of the Pantheon. At some point, however, Tyr noticed that the Guardian Loken had succumbed to corruption and gathered his comrades to steal the discs of Norgannon – for with them, one could find out how far the betrayal extended.

But Loken noticed the theft and unleashed dark creatures against Tyr and his allies. Tyr sacrificed himself in the fight against these monsters, allowing his friends to escape. Where Tyr died, the land is now called “Tirisfal”, and somewhere there lies his weapon, the Silver Hand, buried …

WoW Legion Artifact Silver Hand

Properties of the Silver Hand: As the name suggests, the Holy specialization is aimed at healing allies. Consequently, most properties are designed to reduce ability cooldowns or increase the healing done.

  • Every Silver Hand starts with Tyr’s Deliverance, a powerful healing-over-time spell that heals a single target over 10 seconds. However, the spell has a high cooldown to compensate for its strength.
  • Power of the Silver Hand unleashes the power of the Silver Hand for 10 seconds. This results in the next Holy Shock becoming stronger, specifically by 15% of all healing or damage done in those 10 seconds.
  • The Light Saves enhances the Beacon of Light. If the target of this spell falls below 50% of its maximum hit points, the next Holy Light or Flash of Light on that target heals for double the amount. This effect, however, can only be triggered once every 30 seconds.
  • Protection of Tyr Improves the Paladin’s Aura Mastery. For the duration of the spell, all group members receive 15% additional healing from all sources.

Protection – Keeper of Truth (Artifact for Tank Paladins)

WoW Legion Artifact Pal Keeper of Truth

Background story: Also of titan origin are the sword and shield that together formed the duo “Keeper of Truth”. Tyr and Arachaedas forged these weapons and entrusted them to a gifted Vrykull warrior who managed to uncover Loken’s betrayal. After Tyr fell while defending his comrades, the Vrykull warrior lost his purpose and took the weapons towards Stormheim on the shattered isles, where the weapons found their (for now) final resting place in the Path of Kings.

WoW Legion Artifact Truthguard

Properties of the Keeper of Truth: In the Protection specialization, it is clear that it is a tank role. To support this, “Keeper of Truth” has a large number of passive properties that reduce damage taken or increase threat generated.

  • The starting property is Eye of Tyr, a powerful spell with a one-minute cooldown. All targets in the area take damage and are “blinded”, reducing their damage done by 25% for 9 seconds.
  • Bulwark of Order is a direct improvement for the Shield of Vengeance, as it grants the Paladin a shield equal to the damage dealt, which lasts for 8 seconds.
  • Tyr’s Enforcer is another enhancement of the Shield of Vengeance. Each target hit causes high area damage around it, significantly increasing the Paladin’s threat to multiple targets.
  • Light of the Titans increases the Paladin’s self-healing, as it ensures that the Shield of the Righteous increases the healing of the next Light of the Protector by a high amount.

Retribution – Ashbringer (Artifact for DPS Paladins)

WoW Legion Artifact Pal Ashbringer

Background story: Few weapons have garnered so much glory and simultaneously so much disdain as the Ashbringer. After a crystal of pure darkness was purified by the Light, it was the dwarven king Magni Bronzebeard who created the legendary blade Ashbringer from it. Over the years, the blade had many wielders, but only a few could wield it for long.

Famous for its devastating power against the undead, the most notable moment of the Ashbringer was perhaps when the sword in the hands of Tirion Fordring shattered the runeblade Frostmourne, bringing an end to the Lich King Arthas. To this day, the blade is still in the hands of Fordring – it would be dreadful if something were to happen to him …

WoW Legion Artifact Ashbringer

Properties of the Ashbringer: To live up to its name, the Ashbringer is responsible for dealing damage. Therefore, most properties increase the damage or critical strike chance of abilities or reduce their cooldown.

  • All Retribution Paladins start with Wake of the Ashes, an active ability. The Ashbringer is slammed into the ground and strikes all enemies in front of the Paladin with radiant light, slowing the struck targets. If they are demons or undead, they are stunned for 6 seconds.
  • Ashes of Ashes enhances Wake of the Ashes by increasing the spell’s damage significantly. The struck targets burn in righteous fire for 6 seconds.
  • Divine Tempest improves the Paladin’s Divine Storm. The Ashbringer copies the ability and unleashes it in a beam up to 20 meters in a straight line, damaging all enemies in its path. Additionally, the damage of Divine Storm is increased by 20%.
  • Echo of the Highlord further increases damage. The Ashbringer casts the spells Divine Storm and Templar’s Verdict one additional time when the Paladin casts them.

For more details on the weapons, you can find our overview of the artifacts. There you can also view the artifacts of the Death Knight.

Destiny: This is how the MMO shooter could look with 60 FPS

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO shooter Destiny runs on PS4 and Xbox One at a frame rate of 30 FPS. The following videos show what Destiny would look like at 60 frames per second.

Already in the summer of 2014, it became known that Destiny would not run at 60 FPS on the next-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One, but only at 30 FPS.

Destiny Tower Pink Ghost

At that time, Senior Environmental Artist Jason Sussman confirmed that Destiny would be released in 1080p resolution and at 30 frames per second. This was a significant disappointment for players, as they wanted to fully enjoy the advantages of a next-gen console. Sussman explained:

I could get very technical now, but I would bore you to death. A lot has to do with performance.

The “problem” was that Destiny was released for PS4, Xbox One, but also for PS3 and Xbox360, which is why a similar gaming experience had to be ensured across all four consoles. To achieve this cross-platform, compromises had to be made for the refresh rate.

This is what Destiny would look like at 30 FPS

Some guardians, however, do not want to accept this compromise and have increased the FPS themselves using appropriate tools. The following video shows gameplay footage of Destiny at 60 FPS:

The user reports that he recorded the video with “Xbox One Game DVR” and doubled the framerate using “Motion Interpolation”. He recommends watching the video in HD. The results are impressive.

The following video is also supposed to show Destiny at 60 FPS. However, the HUD swings alarmingly:

In the comments and forums of the worldwide internet, guardians demand 60 FPS for “Destiny 2”. Everything with less than that belongs to the past. So far, there is no information on whether Bungie will adjust the framerate. Since the MMO shooter Destiny is expected to exist for several more years, this will be an inevitable step for the game to survive in the future.

At this point, thanks to our reader SpaceEse, who drew our attention to a 60 FPS video of Destiny in the comments.

The developer responsible for the USA, En Masse, has laid off employees. We have the details for you.

Mass Layoffs at TERA

According to the English-language site mmorpg.com, the western developer En Masse, which is responsible for Tera-US among other things, has recently experienced layoffs. In En Masse’s official statement, it says:

“The gaming industry moves quickly, is constantly evolving, and is always changing, which means that companies need to adapt from time to time to meet the needs of the market and the community. En Masse found itself in exactly this situation, and a reduction of the workforce was part of this transition in March to better prepare for the future.

We are saddened to let some of our employees go, but we will help them find new positions quickly. We will continue to expand our presence as a western publisher and support our games, such as TERA or the upcoming Battleplans, a unique real-time strategy hybrid that will be our company’s first cross-platform project.”

What will happen to TERA?

Whether and how significant the impact will be for TERA is still unclear. The exact number of laid-off employees is also unknown, making it difficult to say whether this is truly a “heavy blow” for TERA or just the usual adjustments in the industry.

The Division: “Statue Glitch” leads to invincibility and discontent in the Dark Zone

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, a new glitch has been made public, which threatens the game balance of the Dark Zone. Rogues hide in a statue to gain invulnerability.

division-strasse

The Dark Zone is supposed to be the most dangerous and exciting place in Tom Clancy’s The Division. Especially when one becomes rogue and possibly even receives the player hunting status, this PvP area provides extraordinary thrills. When the entire Dark Zone is after you, your survival is in great danger.

“Statue Glitch” causes anger in The Division

division-glitch

Some agents on reddit have apparently found a way to circumvent this thrill: They “glitch” themselves into a statue in the Dark Zone as soon as they become rogue to become invulnerable. Neither bullets nor explosions can harm them. Now they let the rogue timer run down comfortably and collect the reward for it.

There is no doubt that this is a severe intervention in the game balance of the Dark Zone. The rogue status becomes no challenge due to this glitch, which is certainly not the point. However, some agents are already turning the tables and are waiting near this statue to eliminate potential glitchers before they can disappear into the statue.

No statement from Ubisoft Massive regarding the solution to the problem has been made yet. On reddit, people hope that this glitch will now gain notoriety and thus be quickly fixed by the developers.

Black Desert: The Legal Horse Bot – Auto Loop Feature Now Live

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Black Desert, the auto loop feature for long distances has been activated. This allows for skill leveling while asleep.

Progressing in Black Desert while being AFK

This week, the European developers of Daum asked what players think about an auto-loop feature in Black Desert. In Korea, this is part of the game; until now, it was missing in the West. In the forum, interested parties could vote on the decision, and the result was quite clear. More than 80% voted in favor of introducing this feature.

But what does it actually bring? Those who want to can now command their character to march up and down the same route repeatedly. This can be done either traditionally on foot or on horseback. When using a horse, there is the additional option to regularly feed it carrots when its stamina is running low. Since in Black Desert, both the horse and the player become stronger as they cover distances (with and without load), this can be used for skill leveling.

In the Korean version, players would heavily load their heroes and then have them walk back and forth a few meters in the city to increase their carrying capacity. Or they let their character ride across the continent multiple times with the computer on while they themselves are sleeping or at work.

Black Desert Waypoint
Image source: dualshockers

The feature is incredibly easy to activate: You simply have to right-click to mark a waypoint on the map, then press the ALT key and hover over your character’s icon until the marked route turns green. With a left-click, you confirm, and voila: The character will traverse the predetermined route up and down for all days (or until the server maintenance).

This is especially useful for players who have little time or want their character to do something useful even when they themselves have no time to play.

We have discussed this “AFK feature” in this article.

Heroes of the Storm: So sieht meine Heldenauswahl gerade aus – Und Eure auch

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In Heroes of the Storm, you can play all heroes over the weekend.

If you stare at the title image and think: Cool, that should also look like this for me: This is exactly how it looks for you (well, except for the levels). Until Monday evening, every player has access to all heroes in Heroes of the Storm. Also to the newcomers like Xul or Dehaka. Additionally, there are 10 days of 50% bonus XP until April 18.

You can read why this is happening here, but it probably won’t be very important for most: The main thing is that you have access to all heroes and can try everything out or specifically collect levels to earn gold.

For those who haven’t played HotS for a while or want to start fresh, now is the right time. Normally, you have to unlock heroes with gold or euros – or wait until they are in the free rotation.

ARK: New “Extinction” servers with meteor impact

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In ARK there is now a new type of server: On the “Extinction” servers, players only have 30 days before everything is wiped out.

New creatures invade the island of ARK

The Xbox One version of ARK: Survival Evolved has received a pretty powerful update. The centerpiece of the patch is three new creatures that will now make the island unsafe and the new “Extinction” servers.

  • The Wooly Rhino is actually peaceful, but when it charges, you should quickly get out of the way, as it can take down even the most powerful dinosaurs in seconds.
  • In the deep waters, however, there is the Dunkleosteus, an armored fish with a powerful jaw. It is excellent for battles in the cool depths, but even after its death, you can still extract a lot of chitin from its carcass.
  • Lastly, the Eurypterid has been added, a large lobster with powerful claws. While this creature cannot be tamed, you can extract pretty potent poisons from its remains – sometimes even black pearls, which are required for certain technologies.

After 30 days, a meteor destroys the island

Also new are the so-called “Extinction” servers, which are primarily designed for new players. On these servers, there is a time limit of 30 days before a meteor devastates the island and resets all progress. Players will be rewarded with various badges for their achievements. It is also important to note that the Extinction servers are completely new servers – the existing number of “regular” servers does not shrink.

In addition, the patch brought several other improvements. Once again, the frame rate has been tinkered with, and if everything works as promised, players should notice an improvement of 10% again. Lastly, players who are “stuck underground” will automatically be teleported back to the surface.

The Division: No dailies today on 9.4. – What’s the reason?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the MMO shooter The Division, there are no dailies today, Saturday, April 9th. The daily tasks apparently were not reset.

At 2:00 AM, the reset occurred in The Division, normally new daily tasks also appear. Not this time. In forums like reddit , users are wondering: Am I the only one? What’s going on? Can I do anything to get it working again?

It’s not a problem that can be solved by logging out and logging back in. That much is already known. The “Gibbs” solution, simply restarting, does not work. Even though the vendors have reset properly.

Ubisoft has addressed the issue on Twitter and stated: They are aware that the daily tasks of some players are not resetting properly. They are looking into it further. And they thank the players.

Warframe: Baro Ki’Teer on April 8th – Location and offerings of the Void Trader for PC, PS4, and Xbox One

Pascal Pascal Reading time 3 minutes

We take a look at what the Void Trader Baro Ki’Teer has to offer starting April 8th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Two weeks have passed again, during which Baro Ki’Teer, a somewhat aloof trader of the online shooter Warframe, had time to hunt for lost treasures in space to offer them to the Tenno. Whether he has found such treasures or is just trying to sell his old goods like at a flea market, read on.

Since Thursday, console Tenno also know that Baro Ki’Teer is always on the hunt for artifacts and lost treasures, but prefers not to get his hands dirty.

After all, such an appearance hardly allows for movement, and the beautiful black nail polish might suffer. Instead, he prefers to direct and look down on us at the end to collect the profit. But where is the little silverfish with the travel pedestal hiding this time?

The ‘When, Where, and What’ of the current offer

When can Baro be encountered?

warframe3

From April 8, 2016, 7 PM to Sunday, April 10, 2016, 7 PM.

Where can he be found?

  • PC: Luranda Relay, Mercury
  • PS4: Strata Relay, Earth
  • Xbox One: Vesper Relay, Venus

What does he have with him?

 Let’s first focus on the offer for PS4 and Xbox One:

For PC players, it has already become a habit that Baro carries more than just 3-4 items, but this is the first time this is the case on consoles.

Basically: Those who don’t know what to do with their Ducats and credits can reward the trader richly during his spring shopping. However, newer players can safely skip the Primed Grineer Malice.

However, one should definitely consider the melee mod Primed Reach. Especially the abilities of the character Wukong benefit when installed on your preferred blade, as it scales the length of his staff. And that refers to his ultimate ability, not what you might think.

With the Prisma Gorgon, Baro offers a weapon for completionists and enthusiasts. However, it is less recommended for slightly more demanding missions, and 600 Ducats is quite a hefty price that the Prisma Gorgon is not necessarily worth.

PC Offer

But what is there for PC players now that Easter was a bit underwhelming? Will one be able to get the Holy Grail of (piercing) mods, or just a cheap imitation crystal skull that hardly anyone wants to buy? Let’s take a look:

For those who missed the Nexus Fell pattern earlier, this is another chance to repaint your four-legged friend.

Newcomers should be told that they can safely ignore the Primed Magazine because the minimal benefit, if one can even speak of it, does not justify the immense effort and wear of fusion cores and credits to max it out.

Voltaic Strike and Electrocution may be very good and sensible mods, but they are also available through the normal Infested Sabotage on Eris.

Then, the Machete Wraith and Prisma Tetra are a bit more worthwhile. However, do not expect too much, as both are also not high-end weapons. Nevertheless, one can tease a few enemies with them.

Don’t forget, console Tenno, to log into Warframe by April 15th, 8 PM to find three weapons in your inbox, which were distributed on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the online shooter. And if you’re eagerly waiting for the Shadow of the Guilt event, you should know that it starts on April 14th. You will find out what to expect there in detail from us.

Online Shooter Fragmented startet bald in den Early Access

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Before the end of this month, the online shooter Fragmented is expected to launch as an Early Access game on Steam.

The developers cannot currently provide an exact date, but they are working hard to offer fans something playable soon. Those who supported the MMORPG The Repopulation, meaning backers, have already received invitations. However, these players are still subject to an NDA; this will be lifted soon so that they can talk publicly about their gameplay experiences.

The development continues

The developers have also released a very extensive update for this pre-Early Access version last month. This improves various aspects including AI, animations, the combat system, and graphics. You can view the extensive patch notes with over 10,000 words on the official website.

Joshua Halls, founder of Above and Beyond Technologies, explains: “We have taken care of many items on our checklist to prepare the game for Early Access release. This includes improvements across the entire game as well as the development of core systems and the incorporation of familiar graphics from The Repopulation – but of course also new graphics specifically created for Fragmented.”

The Repopulation is coming… eventually

Fragmented is a spinoff that has emerged from the MMORPG The Repopulation. The further development of The Repopulation is currently more or less on hold as they have switched engines and now want to secure further funding for the MMORPG through the online shooter Fragmented.

Based on Fragmented, they are now further developing the MMORPG The Repopulation. It is definitely set to be released, although at a significantly later date than originally planned before the engine switch. Until then, players can pass the time with Fragmented when the Early Access starts at the end of the month.

The Division: Das sind die einzigartigen Talente der Sets

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, a graphic has been released showing the bonuses and talents of the Gear Sets.

division-aussicht

With the upcoming Incursion update, Gear Sets, which are equipment sets, will be introduced to the game. When all four parts of a set are collected, a unique talent is unlocked. Four Gear Sets will be introduced with the update: Striker, Nomad, Tactician, and Defender, which fit specific playstyles.

These are the talents of the Gear Sets in The Division

Below we will list the unique talents of the various Gear Sets:

  • “Striker’s Battle Gear” – Striker: Each subsequent hit deals 1% more damage, with a maximum limit of 100%. For misses, the bonus drops by 2%. The bonus decreases by 1% each second.
  • “Nomad’s Way” – Nomad: After receiving fatal damage, full health is automatically restored. Can be used only once every 10 minutes.
  • “Tactician’s Authority” – Tactician’s Authority: Upon dealing a total of 60k damage by the group, you gain 1% Skill Strength, up to a maximum bonus of 100%. However, the bonus decreases by 1% each second as long as the group is not dealing any damage.
  • “Watcher’s Call” – Stalker: Headshots mark the enemy and increase damage dealt by 15% for 10 seconds. A target can receive up to three marks.
    division-talente-gearsets

If you do not have all four parts of an armor set, various bonuses are unlocked with as few as two or three parts of the same Gear Set. These are not unique and can be found in the graphic.

What do you think of these unique talents?

During the week, PvP changes were announced, primarily affecting “Elimination,” the mode of Osiris. It is intended that reviving will take longer and become overall weaker. The so-called “Revive” kills, when you take freshly revived players back down, should become easier and also possible with other sniper rifles than the 32 power weapons.

Balance changes, fresh rules for special ammunition, and new armors, as well as stronger rewards with higher light levels are on the way. Osiris bounties are supposed to go up to 330 light, while the Mercury chest will contain items up to 335, and Osiris armors will also be coming soon.

Starting next Friday, when Osiris resumes, all of this should apply, and the new rules will take effect. The patch itself will come on Tuesday evening around 7 PM.

destiny-osiris-april3

Today, Trials of Osiris takes place one last time before the patch comes.

As special rewards for 5 and 7 victories, gloves and the hand cannon are available today.

As Square Enix states, the journey is over. On May 31, the servers will close. Those who have purchased anything since March 1 will receive a refund. Now, both old and new players can still play until the end, but they will not leave any money in the game, the possibility to do so is closed.

The team thanks for the support over the years, expressing how sad they are. The reason given for the closure is that the player numbers simply have not grown enough to justify further operation.

Nosgoth is an Unreal Engine 3 game for Windows, intended as a spinoff of the action-adventure series Legacy of Kain. In Nosgoth, the melee-specialized “Vampires” faced off against the ranged “Humans”.

The game started in January 2015 in an open beta. It does not end with a release, but with the closure.
