Armored Warfare: Abendzeit ist Panzerzeit in der PvE-Alternative zu World of Tanks

In Armored Warfare, a new event called “Happy Hour” starts in April.

“Happy Hour” usually refers to the afternoon time in bars where drinks are cheaper, so everyone can become as “happy” as possible quickly.

Armored Warfare has come up with something similar for April. The Happy Hour starts tonight.

Anyone playing on the European server between 7 PM and 10 PM will receive a 100% bonus on reputation and credits, the two main resources of Armored Warfare.

We tested the “PvE alternative” to World of Tanks at the start of the Open Beta. Since then, quite a bit has changed: a lot of new tanks and missions are now in the game. The PvE missions are now designed to be more random, so you don’t know exactly when and where an enemy will appear. This was one of our main criticisms back in December.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Hier metzelt der Chef noch selbst

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is turning two years old – the developers are using this occasion to reflect on the past.

Director Matt Firor explains that the launch of the console version of The Elder Scrolls Online led to millions of new players joining. Additionally, three DLCs have been released, bringing a lot of new content. He is very pleased with how the game and the community are developing and will continue to work to improve the game in the future.

The Elder Scrolls Online
This is how the Game Director progresses in the game

Matt Firor shows on the official ESO website how his character has developed since the launch of the MMO in March 2014 until now. He also explains that he is progressing very slowly in the game, as he plays all the content on the developer servers before it can go live. Additionally, the shown hero is only his PC character. He also has one for the console version that he plays occasionally.

Matt Firor does not want to reveal the name of his Nightblade. He also explains that he regularly takes screenshots of moments that have particularly stuck in his memory or simply of beautiful landscapes. He does not participate in PvP or dungeons, simply because he lacks the time to play actively enough to keep up.

You can see Firor’s journey as a Nightblade on the ESO website in German.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Fighting a crocodile!

In conclusion, the Game Director thanks the players for the past two years, which – as he admits – were not always very easy. Without the support of the ESO community, the MMORPG would not be as successful as it is today. If you want to celebrate the anniversary of The Elder Scrolls Online, then join the big event!

The Division: New Blueprints, Items for DZ Rank 90, Backpack Bug

Recently, the State of the Game for The Division took place on April 5th. We summarize the information shared.

In this week’s status report from the developers of The Division, community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Bancherau spoke about the upcoming changes in the game. During the maintenance work on April 5th, nothing was changed in the game; the work was only server-side.

New blueprints coming, items for DZ rank 90

division-übergriffe

During the course of today, the patch notes for the upcoming update “Incursions” will be released. Then we will be able to report in detail about the changes. It was already revealed in the State of the Game that the vendors will carry new blueprints, and the patch notes will mention level 31 and 32 items.

However, these item levels will be replaced by the Gear Score with the update. In the future, we should no longer refer to item levels but only to Gear Score.

Note: Currently, if equipped mainly with high ends, the Gear Score will be around 160.

The items and blueprints that you can acquire in the Dark Zone will in the future no longer only be available from DZ rank 30 and 50, several tiers will be introduced. This is to allow agents who have not yet had time to reach a high DZ rank to buy items – because DZ rank 50 is a lot of work. You will be able to acquire items starting from rank 15.

division-goali

The agents who have been diligently leveling up will also be rewarded: There will be items available that are only accessible from DZ ranks 75 and 90! It is worth putting a lot of time and effort into the Dark Zone.

Regarding Phoenix Credits, it was mentioned that the change to increase the drop rate on PC for level 31 and 32 enemies will be integrated into the game with the upcoming update. Previously, this adjustment caused server problems, which was why it had been postponed. The PC drop rates will be:

  • Lvl 30: 1-3 Phoenix Credits
  • Lvl 31: 2-4 Phoenix Credits
  • Lvl 32: 3-5 Phoenix Credits

About the backpack bug and cheating

Division-Rhodes

Yannick Bancherau shared regarding the backpack issue in The Division that there are several reasons why players may be excluded from the game. It is possible that some agents may still not be able to access the servers despite the upcoming update. While a solution has been found, it cannot be guaranteed that this will work for all agents. The issue is very complicated. This is frustrating not only for players but also for developers.

Regarding cheats and hacks, it was mentioned that agents should continue to report cheaters. This allows developers to respond quickly. They also have a means to identify and ban cheaters and hackers, but this is not a perfect solution. They are working on better solutions. The developers may catch many fraudsters, but longer-term changes are necessary.

Players are asked to only report others when they are really sure that they are using cheats. It may also be the case that the agent is simply significantly stronger than oneself or that there was a lag causing them to “teleport”. Apparently, many agents are reported who are not cheating.

More information from the State of the Game

The community developers also addressed several other topics:

  • More information about Incursions will come this week.
  • Rewards from daily and weekly assignments will consist of Phoenix Credits, Division Tech, and even DZ experience.
  • Regarding trading, the developers expressed their happiness at finding this solution. However, they will pay attention to agent feedback and will gladly make changes if required.
  • The update “Incursions” will be applied during the maintenance on April 12th. Agents should be able to download it by 12 PM at the latest.

Information about the Incursions update in The Division can be found here.

Black Desert macht Dampf – Blader, Plum, die Ninjas und Valencia

A press conference from Korea sparks rumors. How quickly will Black Desert deliver new content to Europe?

New Classes for Black Desert in April and May

Although Black Desert has only been available in the West for a few weeks, a massive content patch Mediah has already been rolled out. This pace obviously aims to be maintained, with further updates planned in the coming months to keep players engaged for as long as possible. According to the press conference, it will only take a few more weeks until Black Desert has more significant content available again.

Black Desert Plum
The Plum could be coming soon if we believe the statements.

A bit strange: The information was not provided in English, but was given at the Korean press conference in Seoul, where the Korea plans for 2016 were presented. The Korean site inven reported on this, and a Korean-speaking fan translated it in the Black Desert Forum.

If the translations are correct, then the upcoming release plan for Black Desert in the West looks as follows:

  • The classes Blader and Plum are expected to be released in April.
  • Two more classes, the Ninja and the Kunoichi, will follow one month later, in May.
  • With June, they will begin to introduce the areas of Valencia and the Awakening weapons.

Some other details also emerge from the press conference. They express great satisfaction with the cash shop. It is said, “Although cash items are relatively expensive, we achieve large profits from it and expect this trend to continue for the rest of the year.”

The Mediah expansion was initially planned for mid-April, but it was brought forward.

Special content updates for Europe are not planned, but a few minor details may be included. Perhaps an exclusive pet or changes in the weather.

Please keep in mind that these translations do not represent an announcement or official confirmation from Daum Europe. Once there are definitive statements from Daum, we will report on them.

Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear – Much ado about a transgender cleric

After more than 17 years, a new expansion for the RPG Baldur’s Gate, Siege of Dragonspear, has been released. However, it has received heavy criticism.

Some of this criticism is quite justified. Many bugs are pointed out and the multiplayer mode does not work as well as hoped. Apart from the fact that the multiplayer mode runs stably, there are also issues with the pause function that sometimes cannot be ended.

baldurs gate siege of dragonspear screenshot
Shitstorm over transgender character

However, these issues are not the main reason why Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear is currently receiving poor reviews on Steam. In the game, you encounter the cleric Mizhena. During the conversation with her, it is revealed that she was born a man but feels like a woman and therefore lives as a woman. This sparked a real shitstorm among some fans of the RPG series. Political views have no place in the RPG classic.

There wouldn’t be anything against transgender people, but this topic shouldn’t be addressed in a computer game. Moreover, the dialogue is very poorly written. There is even a video in which a player kills Mizhena after she revealed to him that she is actually a man. The developers of Beamdog spoke out.

The designer who created the cleric Mizhena justified herself by saying that she no longer wanted to write about stereotypical, heterosexual, and white heroes. Diversity is important, just like in our world.

Poor reviews due to intolerance?

Trent Oster, founder of Beamdog, expressed disappointment that the game is apparently being rated poorly just because of intolerance. Those who like Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear should also leave a positive review. Otherwise, the game would only be seen in a negative light because of the intolerant views of some players.

LoL: Taric Comic “Aufstieg” erschienen – Rework kommt wohl bald

After a teaser for Taric was released a few days ago for League of Legends (LoL) , a comic now follows, which is about Taric and his changes.

The champ Taric has long been a candidate for a major overhaul in LoL; it looks like it will happen soon. However, at Riot, such announcements are not made via patch notes, but with in-game events.

The event surrounding the mountain “Targon” is now slowly moving into the decisive phase and deals extensively with Taric. A few days ago, RiotGames prepared the players of LoL for an imminent rework of Taric. The last teaser was about a ring. This time, it is said in the story that “everything will be different”.

“Rise” – LoL will likely change Taric soon

LoL Taric Targon

What exactly this mountain is about and whether he might even find an old friend on his journey can be read in this exciting comic. Here you can find the comic on the official League of Legends website. Let us know in the comments how you liked the comic.

How exactly Taric is supposed to change in LoL and what goals the developers have can be read here.

World of Warcraft: Superman musste eben noch die Instanz abschließen

An actor reveals how World of Warcraft almost cost him the role of a lifetime.

Superman still needed the loot

It is an old hat that raids and dungeons in MMORPGs often invite players to tune out their surroundings and focus entirely on the game. But what you could almost miss when you don’t answer the phone because the dungeon group needs help, is now shown by an amusing, prominent case.

WoW Paragon Lichking
Sometimes raiding is just more important than anything else – or?

Henry Cavill, who is currently seen in “Batman v Superman” as Superman, was asked on Conan O’Brien’s show how the first call went when he was offered the role. With a grin, Cavill replied, “I didn’t answer the phone,” and then continued: “I was playing World of Warcraft at the time. I knew where my priorities lay. (…) I was in a dungeon and it was a crucial part that I had to get through.”

As soon as the danger (probably a boss fight) was overcome, he reached for the still ringing phone receiver… but it was too late. Luckily, this could be quickly clarified with a return call, where he (more or less truthfully) announced, “Sorry, but I just had to save someone’s life.”

You can watch the entire conversation here:

Strictly speaking, you can’t really blame Cavill – saving lives is somehow the trademark of Superman, whether real or virtual.

Have you ever missed something important because the raid group or an MMORPG was more important at that moment?

The Division: Server down on April 5th on PS4, Xbox One and PC [Update]

In the shared-world shooter The Division, maintenance will take place on April 5th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers will be unavailable.

On April 5th, the weekly maintenance will occur. As Ubisoft Massive announced via Twitter, the servers will also be unavailable this week from 9 AM for approximately three hours. If everything goes according to plan, you can dive back into the post-apocalypse at noon.

So far, there is no information on whether changes will be made that will affect gameplay for the agents. A possible patch has not been announced. Presumably, the developers are just tinkering behind the scenes with the servers.

division-cap

The backpack bug that has been on everyone’s lips for days will not be fixed at least. This was already communicated last week by community manager Natchai Stappers. Players who have been excluded from the game due to this problem will have to be patient until April 12th, which is next Tuesday. Then, with the Incursions update, some changes will come to The Division.

Update: There will be no changes this week, as Massive has announced via Twitter.

12 PM: The servers should now be back live.

During the maintenance, the developers are holding a livestream via Twitch, the State of the Game. If any interesting information is announced in this report, we will report on it promptly.


Are you looking for reading material for the time during the maintenance? In our The Division guide collection, you will surely find something.

Destiny: Videos der Woche sind künstlerisch wertvoll

In the MMO shooter Destiny , community videos have been crowned. This time, they are aesthetically compelling.

Next week, the patch for Destiny comes, and on Tuesday, April 12th, it will be here. The patch reflects the artist’s hand: This time, much value is placed on aesthetics. We will see armor dyes, special armors, and Taken ships – a lot of cosmetics to delight the eye.

This desire for beauty is also evident in the videos of the week. The video of the week is this one:

The Division: Mythbusters – Here’s how to make a quick trip from the Dark Zone

In The Division, there are still some unresolved questions. The YouTubers from the channel DefendTheHouse investigate some myths and either confirm or debunk them – very much in the style of Mythbusters.

The YouTubers DefendTheHouse are known for their “Mythbusters series,” in which they delve into myths from various games. In a new video, they aim to explore questions about The Division that some agents may have pondered but haven’t had the time to verify.

These myths are investigated by the Mythbusters in The Division

  • Can you kill Larae Barrett in the “Lexington Event Center” mission before she runs away?
    Answer: Yes, you can. However, the mission cannot be completed afterward.
    division-barrett
  • Can you fast travel from the Dark Zone?
    Answer: Yes, but only at a specific location in the Dark Zone. You can see this in the video starting at 1:05.

  • Can you enter the Operations Base faster with the Survival Link activated? This individual ability increases movement speed.
    Answer: No, you cannot. This myth is debunked.
    Tip: To avoid having to walk the entire way slowly, you can dash into the entrance of the Operations Base. This saves you some time.
  • Can you heal yourself with First Aid twice?
    Answer: Yes, you can. Shoot it on the ground in front of you and run into it multiple times.
  • Can you revive yourself with the Defibrillator mod of the “First Aid” skill?
    Answer: No, you cannot. Myth debunked.
    division-cinema
  • Can a rogue agent heal a non-hostile agent?
    Answer: Normally not. However, it seems that you can heal them as a rogue if you are not in combat for about 10 seconds. You best see this yourself in the video above.

Have you ever asked yourself these questions?

Devilian receives mega servers and loosens PvP restrictions

The latest letter from the producer to the players of Devilian reveals what will change in the coming weeks. Changes to PvP are planned to reduce waiting times, along with new spring events and the introduction of megaservers.

Megaservers in Devilian – Servers will be merged as soon as possible

One of the biggest changes coming to players in the next few weeks and months is the introduction of megaservers. The existing servers will be merged, creating only one server for America and one for Europe. As is typical for servers of this kind, they can fluidly open new channels and instances as soon as the population in a specific area becomes too large.

Devilian Release
Devilian will soon introduce megaservers – all Europeans will then be in one world.

There is no specific date for this yet, but efforts are being made to have the megaservers introduced “before the next increase in the level cap.” At the same time, it is emphasized that the transfer will only be undertaken when it is certain that there will be no complications and that the players’ character data is completely safe. There is still a lot of work “behind the scenes” that must be completed first.

PvP in Devilian – Less choice, earlier access

The current PvP in Devilian is still somewhat unsatisfactory. There are long waiting times as players are split into different groups depending on which PvP content they are actually interested in. To reduce this, there will be a change to the 6vs6 map “Depraved Temple”. This will become a weekly event and it will no longer be possible to queue up through the waiting list.

At the same time, the requirement to participate in the 20vs20 battles has been lowered, allowing players to join starting at level 25. Since characters with a low level are boosted in PvP, there should be no worries about being helplessly outmatched.

Devilian Spring Costumes
Spring Events and Demonic Imps

In spring, a new event is set to unfold that continues the love story between Antwan and Belle. Those who agree to help Antwan with his romantic troubles will be rewarded with special costumes – from revealing to silly, there should be something for everyone.

Also new is the ability to combine pet skills at will, allowing players to quickly create their favorite companion. It is supposed to be very easy, but will also be explained in a preview video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHI9p7Y2Rog

Finally, the demonic imps that can appear all over the world are mentioned. These little monsters carry a lot of gold and items, but players only have a few seconds to defeat them. If they fail, they explode and take all the valuable loot with them to the afterlife – quick action is required.

Overwatch: Will PvE content still come?

The Game Director talks about the future of Overwatch and how it might eventually come to PvE content.

PvE in Overwatch – A case for Overwatch 2 or another game?

Although the hero shooter Overwatch has not even been released yet, Blizzard is already considering how the new franchise can move forward. The Game Director Jeff Kaplan revealed in an interview with Gameinformer that Overwatch could also focus on PvE content in the future – although not necessarily in the same game.

Overwatch Lore Teaser

They plan to work properly on the “player vs. AI” mode for the shooter to reach a similar level as seen in Heroes of the Storm. There, players can queue individually or as a group to engage in some battles against computer-controlled enemies (bots).

But Kaplan reveals even more, weaving the story a little into the future, as the team is indeed interested in developing other content that players can face together.

“The idea of developing PvE content for Overwatch appeals to the developers, and we are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to do that. But whether that will be in the next Overwatch game or even in a completely different genre is still uncertain. We all really want to create PvE, but not in this game, not for the original offering of Overwatch, which is entirely focused on team-based hero action. It’s something we want to tackle eventually in another game.”

Overwatch McCree Lore

Either way, it seems that with Overwatch and the game’s world, there is still a long way to go.

Mein-MMO says:  That the world of Overwatch definitely has potential for exciting stories can be seen not least in the captivating cinematics that have been released so far:

Whether it’s an action RPG, strategy title, or a shooter with a campaign, the world of Overwatch is already so rich and well thought out that there are seemingly endless possibilities to develop games and storylines from it. We are definitely looking forward to seeing that come to fruition in the coming years.

RIFT experiments with “LFR” mode for raid newcomers

For newcomers to the raid scenario, the Free2Play MMORPG Rift will soon have a “Beginner Mode” with massive simplifications.

“The Comet of Ahnket” introduces Beginner Mode for Raids

The transition from regular group instances to raids is often a painful experience for many players. Either they feel their performance is too poor, don’t know the various bosses well enough, or simply feel unsure if they are up to these difficult challenges.

These concerns lead many players to avoid trying raids altogether and turn their backs on these gameplay elements.

Rift Comet of Ahnket Raid

With the next major patch, Rift will introduce the new raid instance “The Comet of Ahnket”, which consists of a total of 6 encounters – 4 bosses and 2 minibosses. In addition to the usual difficulty levels “Easy”, “Normal”, and “Hard”, there will also be a 4th one, the “Universal Introduction Mode” or the introduction mode.

Increasing Chances through Stackable Buff

In particular, two things are supposed to make these encounters easier for newcomers. First, all players will receive 1600 hit rating points, significantly reducing the chance to miss attacks. Second, there is a powerful buff that makes the encounters progressively easier over time. The “Ascended Odds!” buff ensures that players in the raid gradually become stronger.

Rift Comet of Ahnket Raid 2

Every 30 seconds they are in combat with a boss, dealt damage, healing, and HP increase by 2%. This means players gradually become stronger the longer they are engaged in a boss fight. The stacks of the buff are only removed when the fight is won, the difficulty of the raid changes, or the instance is reset.

Whether this beginner mode will make it beyond the test realm is yet to be determined. So far, it’s just an experiment to see if it feels “smooth” and achieves the desired result of motivating more players to raid.

World of Warcraft has a very similar principle in its “Looking For Raid” mode (LFR), where each defeat increases the group’s damage and healing by 5%. Among hardcore players, such mechanics are often disparagingly referred to as “loser buff”.

The Division: Level 31-Items – Mit 30 ist noch lange nicht Schluss

In The Division, there are items that exceed the “maximum level” of 30. We take a look at the Level 31 items.

division-32level

In the endgame of The Division, it’s all about improving and upgrading the agents’ weapons and armor. The max level of your Division agents is 30; a higher level cannot currently be reached. However, there are items in the game that exceed this level 30 limit.

How do I recognize a Level 31 item in The Division?

That level 30 can be exceeded in The Division should be clear to all agents who have encountered enemies in the endgame, for instance in the northern part of the Dark Zone or in Challenge Mode: These NPCs can even reach level 32. There are also items for Division agents that are above level 30.

division-item30

What actual level your items have is a bit hidden; it is not displayed directly when you select an item. The number shown in large on the top right of the screen, which can currently reach a maximum of 30, can be misleading:

division-item31

To find the actual level of your items, you must scroll down on the item. Only there will the “Item Level” be displayed, or for blueprints, the “Power Level”. Below that is the required level that your agent needs to equip the item. This is currently a maximum of 30, and that number is what is displayed at the top right as “Level”.

How to get Level 31 items in The Division

There are various ways to acquire Level 31 items. Especially the Phoenix Credits play an important role:

LoL: New Look – 3 strong Skins and uniform Splash Art

As a preview of Patch 6.7 for the MOBA League of Legends (LoL), players can already check out the 3 new legendary skins on the test servers.

Days ago, developer Riot Games drew attention with a special teaser indicating that a new “mechanical” themed skin for one of the League of Legends champions will be coming soon. It quickly became clear that this pertains to Sion. Additionally, other skins have been uploaded for testing on the LoL beta servers. Furthermore, a comprehensive overhaul of many (older) champion splash arts is underway.

Mecha Zero Sion – Choo Choo, here comes the LoL train

Not only die-hard Sion fans are excited about this new skin from the creative minds of the Riot Games design team. This skin literally transforms Sion into a train when he uses his ultimate ability. His abilities have been reworked, he has a new voice, and even a new animation when he teleports back to base. Mecha Zero Sion currently costs 1820 Riot Points on the PBE servers – the price may still change.

The developers at Riot Games believe that players should not have such strong visual differences for the champions, as it can evoke a different perception of these champions. The splash arts of each champion, which players see during champion selection and on the loading screen, are expected to look more uniform (across various regions) in the future.

To give you an overview of these new champion splash arts in League of Legends, there are 2 huge image albums on Imgur.

Black Desert erlaubt sich einen Gag auf Blizzards Kosten

In Black Desert , there was an April Fools’ joke at Blizzard’s expense.

On April 1st, Daum announced that with the latest expansion Mediah, a victory pose will be introduced in the new battlefield that came with the Mediah expansion. This special “Butt Pose Victory Animation” will have the victorious hero strike a pose that emphasizes their backside. This will be available for every class, regardless of gender.

Black Desert Joke

This is clearly a reference to the “mini-scandal” surrounding Overwatch. Blizzard had responded to fan protests and removed a “too provocative” pose of the heroine Tracer. She was showcasing her backside in an outfit that now closely resembles a Black Desert character.

It’s also likely an action to draw attention to the Mediah expansion .

Escape from Tarkov: Neue Videos zeigen Waffen und Ausrüstung

Weapons play an important role in the upcoming MMO shooter Escape from Tarkov. New videos now showcase some weapon mods and equipment.

It is known from MMORPGs: You can customize your armor. A plate armor, leather greaves for the legs, and a chain coif. This is also possible in Escape from Tarkov. There are various clothing options such as jackets, pants, shoes, or caps. The material of the clothing even plays a role. Those who wear a soft cotton jacket will see how it behaves differently due to movement compared to a harder leather jacket. While this does not have any gameplay effects, it aims to immerse you even deeper into the simulation of a world.

Escape from Tarkov: New Hardcore Shooter Appears Extremely Detailed

As for weapons, you will be able to modify them in various ways. In principle, it is possible to completely disassemble a weapon and replace its individual parts to create new weapons. This way, you can meet another player who carries a weapon that completely differs from yours. However, it turns out that both of your weapons are based on the same base weapon.

New Weapons and Locations

Additionally, two new sniper rifles have been integrated into the shooter. The original weapons were photographed, and based on those photographs, 3D models were created that closely resemble the originals. The developers of Escape from Tarkov visited the manufacturer of the weapons, and they were even able to try them out and record the sounds made by the rifles.

Based on concept drawings, areas were presented where you can also find vehicles. These can later be driven as well. As you can see, the developers of the MMO shooter Escape from Tarkov really place an enormous emphasis on the smallest details of their game.

Star Citizen: Raumstationen und Gefängnisausbrüche

Space stations play an important role in the MMO Star Citizen. The developers have now talked about what one can expect from these.

If you log out of Star Citizen, you will awaken in the space base Port Olisar during your next login, as long as you are too far away from your own hangar. In Port Olisar, there are rooms that can be rented, and there will soon be businesses where certain items can be purchased. Weapons are prohibited on the station, which is currently enforced by simply not allowing players to draw their weapons. Later, security forces and turrets will come into play to ensure that there are no fights on Port Olisar.

Own a space station

The developers of Star Citizen have considered whether players should even be able to destroy the station. However, they decided against it, as this would cause too many problems. In a universe where everything could be destroyed, everything would likely be destroyed shortly after launch, they believe. And one must prioritize fun above all.

Instead, they are considering whether players could own their own stations and determine aspects such as taxes or gravity conditions there. They haven’t discussed the possible costs of owning a space station yet.

Plan a prison break

Hornet Star Citizen

There are also plans to expand the legal system. One idea is to have a space station for renegades and criminals. A pirate base where you wake up after logging in when you are in conflict with the law. Additionally, there are plans for a prison station. If caught committing crimes, a player goes to jail and must serve their sentence – unless friends attempt to break them out of prison.

Currently, work is being done on update 2.4.0 of the MMO Star Citizen, which will introduce customization options for heroes through clothing.

Destiny: “The Charged Warlock” – a build for PvP

In Destiny, you can create builds by skillfully combining your focuses, weapons, and armor. Nexxoss Gaming presents his build “The Charged Warlock”.

The YouTuber Nexxos Gaming presents a Warlock build in a video, which should be particularly effective in the Crucible. For this, he introduces his focus, the weapons and armor that he combines in such a way that synergy effects arise.

This is the build “The Charged Warlock” in Destiny

“The Charged Warlock” is a combination of the Stormcaller focus, the Tlaloc, and various perks. According to Nexxoss, this build is particularly useful in PvP in the Control mode. The build is showcased in the following video:

Destiny: Adjust your focus to Stormcaller for this Warlock build

For the “Charged Warlock,” you need to choose the Warlock focus Stormcaller. The focus nodes are designed to charge the super quickly and use it effectively:

  • Take the Storm Grenade, which “unleashes a targeted storm.” It is important for this build that you hit your enemies with the grenade – eliminating opponents is secondary.
  • Also choose Superconductor, which doubles the chain ability of your Storm trance. This allows you to kill enemies more efficiently when they are close together, as is often the case in Control mode. You can also achieve double kills more easily, which will be significant for this build.

  • For the melee attack, rely on Gathering Storm: Hits with the Thunderstrike charge the super, ability, and melee energy. Since this build specializes in super attacks, this focus perk will help you.
  • Importantly, the focus node Transcendence: With full grenade and melee energy, Storm trance fully restores your health and drains more slowly. This allows you to extend the duration of your super and thus deal devastating damage for longer.
  • You should also select the Electrostatic Surge for the “Charged Warlock”: Storm trance charges faster when allies are nearby. When Storm trance is active, nearby enemies take damage. These advantages come into play especially in Control mode.

The importance of these focus nodes will become apparent in the following sections.

The reason you should charge the super as quickly as possible is also tied to the choice of weapons for this build:

Tlaloc-Destiny

Tlaloc: The exotic scout rifle Tlaloc and the Stormcaller focus complement each other. These weapon perks favor the “Charged Warlock”:

  • Grenadier: Kills with this weapon reduce the cooldown of your grenade. This perk is combined with the armor perk From the Ashes, more on that shortly.
  • Overflow: This is the significant perk of this weapon and this build: The weapon has improved handling, rate of fire, and stability when the holder’s super is charged. The build ensures that the super is charged quickly to take advantage of the Tlaloc. When this perk is active, according to Nexxoss, the Tlaloc becomes a “super weapon”
    Destiny Warlock
    .

As a secondary weapon, Nexxoss recommends a shotgun to have a weapon for close combat. The Tlaloc is more suitable for enemies at a distance. He personally uses the Conspiracy Theory-D. In Control mode, the YouTuber likes to use a machine gun as a heavy weapon, here he takes the Tormented Terminus by Qullim.

Select these armor perks for the Warlock PvP build

In general, you should use items that increase Intellect (for the super) and Discipline (for grenades).

Pay attention to these perks on the armor pieces:

  • From the Ashes: Hitting grenades gives you bonus super energy. This helps you recharge the super quickly after use. Combined with the perk Grenadier from the Tlaloc and the Storm Grenade, which allows for easy hits, fruitful synergy effects arise. “From the Ashes” can be found, for example, on the helmet “Iron Camelot Hood”.
  • Lightning Rod: The perk unlocks the Stormcaller focus node Landfall for free: When you activate Storm trance, you strike a lightning bolt into the ground, generating a devastating shockwave beneath you. This makes your super even more powerful. You can find this perk on the exotic gauntlets “The Impossible Machines”.
    Destiny-Die-Unmoeglichen-Maschinen-151
  • Earthly Medicine: Grants you a boost for recovery per grenade kill. This is stackable for 20 seconds. Since the grenade is important in this build – it charges quickly and grants super energy – it is useful to gain additional recovery through grenades. You can find this perk, for example, on the chest piece “Tormented Chasm of Yuul”.
  • Arc Double Kill: After an Arc double kill, agility increases for 5 seconds. With the selected focus node Superconductor, you achieve double kills more frequently with your Storm trance, which increases agility. Thus, you can rush through the Crucible faster and hunt Guardians with your active super. You can find this perk, for example, on the leg armor “Winged Sun Boots”.

This is what “the Charged Warlock” can do in Destiny

Destiny-Warlock

The focus, the Tlaloc, and the advantages of the armor items harmonize with each other, allowing you to score in the Crucible, especially in Control mode.

The build is designed to charge the grenades and super as quickly as possible to use the strengths of the Tlaloc. When the right moment arises and you encounter multiple Guardians in close quarters, you can effectively utilize the super attack.

“The Charged Warlock” combines the strengths of the Stormcaller with those of the Tlaloc. How this build performs in practice is shown to you by Nexxoss in the following video:

According to Nexxoss, however, one problem with this build is that it takes a while to fully charge the super in order to utilize its advantages. “The Charged Warlock” has to charge up first.
