In The Division, the Phoenix Credits vendors have new items and blueprints available. We look at what they have this week for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, a new week begins in The Division: The items that the specialty vendors have in stock will be exchanged or updated with new price tags. Restock will take place at 2 AM starting this week – thanks to Daylight Saving Time.
You can find the specialty equipment vendor in the operations base in the tech wing, right next to the upgrade station. To access the items from the Dark Zone specialty vendor, affectionately known as “Dark Xur”, you must venture far into the northern part of the Dark Zone. There, he waits alone in his safe house in DZ06.
What the Dark Zone specialty vendor has on offer in The Division this week
To purchase items and blueprints from “Dark Xur”, you need to be level 30 and have at least Dark Zone Rank 30 (for superior items) or DZ Rank 50 (for high-end items). Additionally, it will cost you Phoenix Credits.
Weapons:
Px4 Storm Type F (High-end pistol) 168 PCs
M249 B (Superior light machine gun) 60 PCs
Other high-end items:
Operator knee pads (knee pads) 112 PCs
Operator gloves 112 PCs
Additionally, the vendor offers a mask, body armor, backpack, knee pads, holster, gloves, and a weapon mod of the superior rank.
A Dark Zone key can be purchased for 40 PCs
He also has the Ranger jacket (322 PCs) and the jacket – tan (320 PCs) available again.
The selection of blueprints remains the same, but the prices of the items change slightly. This is the cost of the blueprints for high-end weapons this week:
In a new Dev Diary, the developers of the upcoming MMORPG Project Genom discuss the current development of the game.
Currently, a new hero control system is being worked on, which is also shown in the video linked below. The movements appear much more natural and fluid, which should lead to a more pleasant control experience. Additionally, the character development system has been completely changed, just like the equipment, trading, skill, and stat systems. However, the interface is still not satisfactory and will continue to be worked on.
Things are progressing
To utilize skills even more effectively, new parameters such as “Armor Energy Output” and “Weapon Energy Consumption” have been introduced, which you need to pay attention to when assembling your hero. In addition, over a hundred new quests and interactive events have been developed, and a large portion of the existing quests have been revised. Basically, there are now four ways to complete tasks. To play through the four chapters of the story, you will now need around 40 hours.
Additionally, the starting area has been enlarged threefold, allowing new players to have an exciting experience right from the start. Currently, work continues on quad bikes, buggies, gliders, manipulators, wings, cover, mounts, and pets. In addition, the melee combat system, the construction of spaceships, and personal items are being worked on. A prototype of the resource extraction system, crafting, and item upgrades is also under development.

The MMORPG Project Genom is therefore taking on more concrete forms, even if the developers apologize to the backers for progressing somewhat slower than originally planned. The Early Access phase of the MMO is set to begin in May.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the new Trials of Osiris will take place on April 1st.
The Trials of Osiris will be revamped with the update on April 12th. There is a new emblem and the loot is said to go up to 335. However, today and next week, there will still be the “old” trials.
This time, a “rotation” has been chosen as the map – keeping any April Fools’ jokes in mind. This means that there is not a fixed map for all matches, but different maps might come up. This has happened in the past.
This weekend, Trials of Osiris will be held on a number of the best Destiny Crucible maps, because we love you. pic.twitter.com/VFbMchUChy
The bulk of the rewards comes through the bounties from Brother Vance. Anyone who achieves 9-0 on their card has earned a trip to Mercury. The three buffs, which you can mark directly on the card, help with this. There, a chest awaits with a chance for exotic items and an adept primary weapon like the Doctrine of Passing.
With 5 wins, you will receive the chest armor, and with 7 wins, “The Unseeing Eye,” a machine gun.
The Trials of Osiris will end along with the March Iron Banner next Tuesday at 11:00 AM, during reset.

There is still a long way to go with Star Trek Online. There are first details about the plans for the coming years.
Three Expansions in Planning
As early as next month, there should be the next update “Temporal Front” for Star Trek Online. But the makers of the SciFi-MMO are far from done. In an interview with the Priority One Podcast, Cryptic revealed that they are already working on the third expansion and also have something planned for “the next and the one after that,” although this is still tentative at this early stage.
A major part of the upcoming content will be the overhaul of the “Exploration System”. The developers already have some good ideas that they want to implement, but since many things can still change, they are not revealing any concrete details yet.
In addition to the upcoming expansions, there are already some ideas in the pipeline to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. A major announcement is promised for May 5, 2016.
Finally, it was even hinted that possibly new playable factions could be added to the game, at least the Cardassians, Jem’Hadar, and Borg would be suitable for this. They will be assimilated.
In The Division, players on PC have the ability to collect loot from a distance.
In the PC version of Ubisoft’s MMO shooter, you don’t have to run to the items to pick them up quickly: there is also the option to “loot” drops from a distance. This method works in the open world, in missions, and even in the Dark Zone.
However, only items that exhibit an “Item Box” can be recovered from a distance. This does not include Phoenix Credits, DZ currency, regular credits, or medkits.
The “Item Box” can be found amidst a drop, hovering slightly above the ground. It is displayed as a small, square box:
This is how you collect loot from a distance in The Division
And this is how the fun works on PC:
Aim with a weapon at the Item Box of the drop you want to pick up.
Double-click the left mouse button on the Item Box. If you aim correctly, you should “loot” the item. If not, you’ll just be firing a few rounds from your weapon instead. If you have a “double-click button” on your mouse, this action becomes even easier. And just like that, you have picked up the item from a distance.
Tip: With precision rifles, you can aim at the Item Box even better.
There is a second way to collect items from a distance:
Focus on the drop.
Hold down the “Alt key” on your keyboard to activate the cursor.
Double-click on the box with the mouse cursor, and you will have picked up the item.
Note: This method seems to only work on PC. On consoles, it is reportedly not possible. I personally tried it on the PS4 and can confirm that you cannot collect items from a distance – no matter how many times you shoot at the Item Box.

The pirate multiplayer game Sea of Thieves by Rare features water.
With Sea of Thieves, many players might see a childhood dream come true. The game from the cult studio “Rare” is set to be released for PC and Xbox One, depicting a kind of “pirate adventure”. It currently falls under the genre of online multiplayer adventure.
Not much is known about the game yet. The project is hard to assess from the outside, many have some doubts about whether Rare has what it takes to connect back to the cult hits of the past. Microsoft seems to believe in it and states that Sea of Thieves should be the best game Rare has ever made.
Now they are showcasing the water in a video on Twitter:
The Super Adventure Box makes its return to the world of Guild Wars 2 as a regularly recurring event.
Jump&Run in Tyria – The Super Adventure Box
At first glance, fans had to furrow their brows a bit, as the announcement that the “Super Adventure Box” from Guild Wars 2 is returning suspiciously close to April 1st. However, it seems to be no joke, and the developers have taken the time to dust off the SAB and bring it back to an acceptable state.
The Super Adventure Box is a “game within a game”, as it allows characters to leave the world of Tyria and dive into a classic Jump&Run. Anyone wanting to participate must simply head to Rata Sum and jump into the large glowing portal on the highest level. There, players must fight their way through various levels (with cuddly graphics), buy power-ups, find secrets, and defeat powerful bosses.
While no new game worlds have been developed for the SAB, the old variants have been significantly polished. In the two easier difficulty levels, there are now many shortcuts, and the “correct way,” which was sometimes very hard to find, is now a bit more obvious. However, these changes do not apply to the highest difficulty level: Here, everything is still just as hard as before, although falls to the depths no longer automatically kill – but many other dangers will take care of that.
Some new rewards have been added to the SAB. In the game world within the game, new shops have been hidden where you can buy some new decorations for the guild halls.
The Super Adventure Box will henceforth be an annual event and thus a more or less fixed part of the game world. This year, you still have until April 19th to secure the various rewards or simply spend a few fun hours away from the usual madness of Guild Wars 2.
If you escape from a virtual game world into an even more virtual one… oh, let’s not think about that!

The “Imperium”, the last superpower in EVE, has been considered untouchable for years. Now it finds itself facing a multitude of opponents who are opening various fronts, nibbling at the giant’s territory.
Developer CCP views this with delight. In a Dev Blog, they describe the multi-hour battle at 1P-VL2 as the second-largest fight in the history of EVE Online ever. 5806 pilots are said to have participated.
“And the best part is, that was just one of the first battles in the new Great War of EVE,” they exclaim. CCP looks forward to months of conflicts and even bloodier battles.
The alliances noticed a number of new players and old friends were returning to participate in the largest war in years in the history of EVE, it is said. In Iceland, where the developers are located, they seem to be gleefully rubbing their hands: War is clearly good for business.

Monster Hunter Online will be expanded with the creature Diablos. We have the details for you.
An old hand with new tricks is coming to Monster Hunter Online
As Tencent Games has now announced, there will soon be a new update for Monster Hunter Online that brings a classic into the game world. In earlier installments of the Monster Hunter series, players could take on “Diablos” to rob it of its valuable materials and snag plenty of big rewards.
This classic is now returning under the name Desert Tyran Wyvern Diablos to the online setting of the series.

Diablos possesses numerous traits that make them feared yet rewarding opponents. Almost the entire body of the wyvern is surrounded by a thick armor, making it extremely difficult to inflict damage. Two massive horns are often used for charging, and anyone trying to dodge to its back will be struck by a massive tail swung like a bludgeon. And there are also sharp claws as an added bonus.
As if all these abilities weren’t bad enough, Diablos can also burrow and move very quickly underground to surprise enemies or flee from a fight to recover in its nest.
Currently, Monster Hunter Online is only available and playable in Chinese, fans have been working on a patch to translate the game at least into English.

For The Division, there has been an annoying problem with backpacks for days. Massive has now found a solution.
In social media and forums, Division agents have been complaining for days about a very annoying problem: They can no longer play the game because the “backpack bug” of The Division excludes them. Most players report that the error occurs when crafting a high-end backpack. After that, items disappeared and the agents were locked out.
The following video shows an agent whose backpack slot in the inventory is empty. This should not be possible:

At a later point, the agent wanted to log in again, but he could no longer enter the game. In a further, rather unspectacular Youtube video, the user shows an endless loading screen as proof that he is now locked out.
Massive has found a solution to the “backpack bug” in The Division
Over a week ago, Ubisoft’s Community Manager Natchai Stappers explained in the Ubi forum that the team is aware of this error and is working on a solution. However, community assistance is needed, which is why a separate “Infinite Loading / Crafting” thread for The Division was created, in which agents should detail their experiences.
And they did: So far, more than 138 pages have been filled, which seems to bear fruit: As Natchai now states in an update, the cause of this problem has been identified thanks to feedback from the community.
No patch has yet been released for the problem, but this is currently the “top priority.” The solution will be released “as soon as possible.”
Attention:
In the meantime, it is strongly advised not to create mods for items that you are not using!
Officially, no reason has been given. However, they thank for the cooperation and patience.
In the reddit forum, based on player feedback, it is pointed out that it is best to keep the backpack inventory minimal to avoid a lockout. The reason why unused items should not be carried with mods is, according to users, that the bug would damage the mods so much that they would suddenly take up additional inventory slots.
Thus, five modified weapons equipped with five mods could suddenly occupy 30 slots (because 5 weapons + 5 mods per weapon). This would overload the inventory so much that one could no longer log in. However, these are just reports from the community!
When the official solution will be released is still unclear. Scheduled maintenance will take place next Tuesday. However, the patch might also come at an earlier time.
Achievements, achievements, achievements, deeds. These are all names for a form of collectible content that has increasingly made its way into the world of MMOs over the past decade. While some of these achievements are practically thrown at you, others are indeed more difficult to obtain. Often, several conditions must be met, and the RNG gods must also be graciously inclined to bring about a very specific situation.
Achievements provide new motivation. – If you’re into that.
For other achievements, diligence, perseverance, and a large portion of skill are needed to transfer the points (which usually don’t provide any benefit) to your account.
Today we want to know from you, which achievement from which game is particularly important to you? What do you associate with the achievement and how hard did you have to work to earn it? Why did you take on this effort?
Cortyn says: I didn’t have to think long about the question, as I only really went on an “achievement hunt” in one game, and that was World of Warcraft. For many, the achievement is relatively unknown, as it only appears in the list of deeds once you have unlocked it. “On the Edge of Madness” or in English “Insane in the Membrane” requires the player to raise their reputation with some game factions to a high value.
What’s special is that most of these factions are pretty difficult or very tedious. For “Rabenholdt”, for instance, you need to exchange about 1400 Heavy Loot Boxes, which can only be obtained with a rogue. For another part of the achievement, you must demolish the neutral goblin town of Beutebucht to become revered with a pirate faction.
However, because that would be far too boring, you then have to become exalted with Beutebucht again – yes, you read that right. First, you decimate the goblin population until they attack you on their own, and then you butter them up piece by piece again. The effort is rewarded with the title “The Insane”. Even though I didn’t work on it “continuously”, the achievement sure occupied me for many weeks – too bad that the title is completely unsuitable for RP.
Oh yes… I have two others from my “bad” days: But enough about me, let’s get to you! What’s the biggest or rarest achievement you’ve earned in an MMO? How many attempts did you need and how much time did you invest? And above all: Was the effort worth it? Let us know in the comments and discuss enthusiastically!

As in the last season (5) in Diablo 3, you will also receive a set as a gift for one of your characters this time.
On the test servers of Blizzard’s Diablo 3, you can already play and test the new season and all the changes that come with it. It probably won’t be long until Season 6 starts, if Blizzard sticks to its 3-month plan. Patch 2.4.1, which will be active with the new season, provides new rewards to make the start into the game easier. Because this time you can also choose a character to whom you want to give Haedrig’s gift.
This includes Haedrig’s gift for each class in Season 6
Haedrig’s gift offers an item set for one of your Season 6 characters. This time, you also have to complete 3 tasks to receive each part of the set. First, you must reach level 70 with a seasonal character, then the boss “Izual” must be killed on at least Torment 2, and you also need to complete a Greater Rift that is at least level 20. As a reward, you will receive the following sets for each respective class:
Crusader: Akkhan’s Armor
Witch Doctor: Zunimassa’s Haunt
Barbarian: Raekor’s Legacy
Monk: Inna’s Mantra
Demon Hunter: Marauder’s Gear
Wizard: Delsere’s Magnum Opus
Additionally, there are new portrait frames, new transmogrifications, and an additional tab in the loot chest in Season 6 of Diablo 3.
The new ranking hunt will start again soon and will bring a few days/weeks of fun for most players. However, even if you particularly want to be at the top of the ranking, you should not try to do it with unfair means. Just recently, there was a wave of bans, that even caught well-known streamers live on stream.

With the new level cap, there is a lot to do in Blade & Soul, we reveal which content is waiting at level 50, that is, in the endgame.
With the last major patch “Silverfrost Mountains,” Blade & Soul has been expanded with numerous content. This included an increase in the maximum level to 50, which raises the question for many players: What to do at level 50?
Since the developers are obviously aware of this question, they have published a small list outlining the various content. We have summarized the most important points for you briefly.
Dungeons – the classic variant in the endgame
Traditionally, players can venture into dungeons – the various instances available for level 50. While the 5 “expert dungeons” are still relatively easy, things get significantly tougher in the heroic dungeons. However, there are also more and, above all, better rewards that can be used to upgrade weapons and accessories, and makeup and Baguas can also be found there.
For experts, there are the following 5 dungeons:
Impure Laboratory
Talus Dungeon
Ogong’s Folly
The Screaming Caves
Frost Cave of the Chuanka
In the heroic variant, there are these 3 options:
Snowstorm Cave
Awakened Necropolis
Den of the Frosted Fangs
Large-scale content at level 50
If you’re not too keen on the different dungeons, then the so-called “large-scale content” might be just right for you. Most of these are public events that you can participate in without much preparation to earn some gold, makeup, or experience points. Examples of locations include:
Raid: Grand Harvest Square in the Northern Sky Blossom Fields
Frostscale Basin in the Northeastern Shiverstone Peaks
The Spawning Sanctuary in the Northeastern Sky Blossom Fields
Daily Quests
If you have little time or simply do not feel like playing with other players, then daily quests are a good option. As the name suggests, these can be repeated every day. Although the gold and experience rewards are not as high as in other game content, they can contribute to variety and can be completed even when you just want to “casually play around” a bit.
There are a total of 3 such quest hubs available at level 50:
Herbologist Hut in the Southern Shiverstone Peaks
Snowwood Monastery in the Western Forest of Ancients
Grand Harvest Square in the Northern Sky Blossom Fields
PvP Content
Finally, the developers recommend indulging in the various PvP content of the game, which can be tackled at almost any player level. Besides the daily quests, there are also some rewards available such as gold, experience points, Zen Beans, and different seasonal rewards. In any case, a match in the battlefields of the game world provides a change from the otherwise more leisurely monster farming in PvE.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , additional information about the April update has been released: they showcase legendary weapons and armor sets.
On the night from Thursday to Friday, there was a “This Week at Bungie”, which revolved around Wednesday’s stream. They presented the rewards for the April update, which is set to come on April 12.
They made a slight mistake during the livestream and have to correct it. The legendary weapons from Year 1 that will be coming back will NOT come from legendary engrams, as previously stated, but from Vanguard and Crucible reward packages. Players who reach a new level with the quartermasters will have a chance to receive one of the legendary weapons up to 330 light.
Additionally, they have increased reputation gain in Strikes, the Crucible, and the Prison of Elders.
The following “classic” legendary weapons are returning to Destiny in Year 2
These are the weapons that will make the transition from Year 1 to Year 2 – it’s important to note that they must be found “new”, players will not be able to simply infuse Year 1 versions of the weapons up to 335. Again: They are available from Crucible and Vanguard reward packages up to attack value 330.
The Devil You Know
Shadow Price
LDR 5001
Badger CCL
The Comedian
THE SWARM
Y-09 Longbow Synthesis
Grim Citizen III
Two to the Morgue
Zombie Apocalypse WF47
The Saterienne Rapier
Lord High Fixer
Here are some mixed information regarding the April update in Destiny:
Additionally, there will be a new emblem for the Trials of Osiris – but that will take some time.
The 1:1 infusion also applies to Exotics.
Variks will no longer sell shaders and ships from Year 1; instead, they will be included in his reputation packages.
Here’s what the 5 new armor sets in Destiny look like
Bungie has revealed “pictures” of the 5 new armor sets, which will be available with the April update on April 12.
This is the Taken armor, available from the Sterling Treasure.
The Chroma armor, also obtainable from the Sterling Treasure.
The New Monarchy.
The Future War Cult.
The Dead Orbit.
The armor pieces from the three reputation factions will be available from the respective faction’s reward packages upon reputation ranks.
We have showcased the stream and also the new exotic items coming with the April update on our site. If you need more information, here are the relevant articles:
In a Special Report, the developers revealed information about the upcoming update 1.1 “Incursions” for The Division via Twitch. We summarize the information.
The Division is now a good three weeks old. Nevertheless, agents are already craving new endgame content. The good news: Fresh content is on the way!
On the evening of March 31st, the developers revealed what lies ahead for The Division in the near future and spoke about the update “Incursions”, in German, the “Übergriffe”.
The update 1.1 “Übergriffe” will be released on Tuesday, April 12. It is free for all Division agents.
These are the Incursions in The Division
As Hamish Bode emphasized several times at the beginning of the livestream, many “great things” will be presented. We list what was revealed about the Incursions:
Incursions are endgame content and designed for a group of 4 agents.
Incursions will be “much harder” than the previous Challenge Modes.
They are very challenging. Coordination and communication within the group are important. Agents must develop tactics and strategies. It is hardly manageable with just anyone; you need a really good team, as the developers stated.
Some enemies can only be defeated with a specific strategy. Relying only on your weapons is not enough. Future Incursions will feature various mechanics.
Agents should expect that they will not succeed in the Incursions on the first attempt. Maybe not even on the tenth.
You get better rewards in the form of weapons and gear.
The best rewards in the Incursions are available only once per week. However, these endgame activities can be done as many times as you want; good loot is always there. You should never come away empty-handed. But the best loot is only available once a week. This can be earned with each of your characters.
There are two difficulty levels: a Hard Mode, which is already very “hard”. You need very good high-end items to survive. The Challenge Mode of the Incursions is “very, very hard”.
There will be matchmaking, but with certain requirements for players (a specific gear score, more on that shortly).
There will be no checkpoints! If the entire team dies, they must start from the beginning.
The first Incursion is called “Falcon Lost”.
This is what to expect in “Falcon Lost”, the first Incursion in The Division
We start this Incursion by descending into the underground. The goal is to take out an LMB base. Although the leader of the LMB is dead, this faction still wants to control New York. Our task is to prevent that.
Gameplay snippets have shown that you have to survive multiple enemy waves, in this case, 15! This likely supports the developers’ statement that the Incursions are a challenge even for the most skilled players out there.
“Falcon Lost” is the first Incursion, but there will be more to come. The factions to be fought will also vary. These will lead agents to new locations and challenge your team play. However, they do not want to reveal too much; “new challenges” were emphasized several times.
„Gear Sets“ are coming to The Division
Additionally, with this update, four different “Gear Sets” are being introduced. The items in these sets are rare and hard to obtain. You get these through the Incursions, through Challenge Modes of missions, through the Dark Zone, and as blueprints that you need to acquire.
The special thing about these sets: If you have all pieces of a set, you unlock a unique talent, known as “set bonuses”. Depending on the set, there are various bonuses that favor a specific play style, e.g., for snipers or for supporters. However, not too much will be revealed here yet.
The catch with these Gear Sets: While they are supposed to be “stronger” than high-ends, they do not have their own talents. Therefore, our existing items will not become “useless”, as the existing items allow for variations with their talents; it is advised not to destroy them.
The Gear Score will be introduced
With the update, the Gear Score will also be introduced, which will be significant from max level 30. For some Incursions, a certain Gear Score will be required to start them. For other content, a Gear Score is recommended, which agents can recognize whether they should start this activity or better improve their Gear Score first.
In groups, the Gear Scores of your members will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen next to their names. We have already dealt with the Gear Score in The Division in this article.
Trading is coming, but it will be quite limited
Whether trading is to be introduced has apparently been discussed for a long time within the development team. The beta phases made it clear that the community absolutely wants this feature.
Trading works as follows:
If an agent picks up an item and wants to give it to a member of their team, they can drop it. The member can now pick up this item. Trading only works within a team.
Since all members can pick up the item, it should only be dropped if you truly trust all agents. If a “wrong” agent picks it up, they can drop it again.
In the Dark Zone, there should be safe areas where you can drop items for group members. This ensures that other agents in the Dark Zone cannot access the items.
Weekly and daily assignments are coming
Weekly and daily assignments are being introduced. If you complete these tasks, “good rewards” such as Phoenix Credits or Division Tech await you. These assignments are intended to be diverse and also refresh the Dark Zone.
Supply Drops in the Dark Zone bring very good loot
Additionally, a new feature is coming to the Dark Zone, the “Supply Drops”. These fall from the sky in the Dark Zone, landing in various locations. They contain very good loot that only the group that arrives at that location first will receive. However, these drops are guarded by strong enemies.
You do not need to extract these items from the Dark Zone: The first group that gets the items has them safe. After all, the items are not contaminated.
A “Spectator Camera” is coming
Currently, it is very boring if you are dead in The Division. Therefore, the feature will be introduced that you can observe your teammates while you are dead on the ground.
Furthermore, changes will be made to the game that have not yet been presented.
With The Skies, a new post-apocalyptic survival-MMORPG is coming soon!
The American-Ukrainian development studio Eforb is currently working on The Skies for PC. The MMORPG combines shooter and RPG elements and is set in a post-apocalyptic world. You are survivors trying to find your place in this world. The developers state that they want to offer players a lot of freedom. Therefore, there is no linear story to follow.
Your actions change the world
Rather, your actions determine how the fortunes in the world change. Your actions affect the economy and can even trigger larger events. For example, you could be responsible for the outbreak of a war. Thus, the world is constantly changing due to your actions, and you will always have to react to these changes. Cities can be overrun or taken over by a faction from one day to the next, which influences the entire economy in the area. However, it would also be possible to unite and liberate these cities.
Linear gameplay is something the developers want to completely avoid. Everything should be dynamic and determined by the players. How exactly the survival elements will play into this is still not entirely clear. Going by the trailer, you will at least need to pay attention to food and water. The apocalyptic world is also home to mutants, so you will have to face these creatures in the wilderness. In addition, there are PvP battles and territorial wars.
