The military MMO War Thunder has received reinforcements in the last weeks.
The military MMOs are growing and growing: features, tanks, airplanes, warships, maps, modes – reinforcements are constantly coming in, constant improvements are being made – none of the competitors want to be left behind. It’s an arms race.
For War Thunder, the time had come this week. 1.57 “Battle March” was released. With the two new winter maps “Wolokolamak” and “Frozen Pass”, there are new battlefields in the Alps and Central Russia.

The user interface has been updated, gameplay improved, damage calculation revised and numerous new vehicles introduced. Among them the Chieftain Mk. 3 for the Brits. The developers consider this monster to be the most sought-after tank in 1.57.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Trials of Osiris will take place on a familiar map on March 18.
The Trials of Osiris start today at 6 PM, next week as well, then not again until 7 PM – due to the change in time.
Bungie has selected the map “Widow’s Court” for this weekend until Tuesday at 10:00 AM. It is generally considered a paradise for snipers. Here, Past-Nexxos explains the map, which, thanks to the power of the internet, dates back to the summer of 2015 – some information will need to be adjusted, but the map remains the same.

The sandbox game Landmark will soon give players expanded options for storytelling.
With the next beta update, Landmark aims to advance the long-awaited “storytelling” feature. Currently, while players can build many things, it is challenging to tell a story using just blocks; one cannot create a dungeon or an adventure. For this, other characters or monsters are needed. Therefore, the next tool players will practically be given is the ability to place characters, both friends and foes.
They will then receive specific instructions on how to behave. The long-term goal would probably be to tell “stories” in the world of Landmark: creating a narrative through which other players can fight their way through.

The news is overshadowed in some places by the mourning for Everquest Next. The “mother project” of Landmark was recently canceled.

But that is by no means all. In the third developer blog, which solely focuses on the adjustments of “New Order”, the topics are support, weapons, and especially the magical classes.
Slowing fireballs or strengthening songs?
With New Order, all classes can rely on different aspects. They work similarly to “combat stances” in other MMORPGs. In addition to a passive bonus to certain stats, aspects also provide other advantages. A mage specializing in “support”, for instance, deals slightly less damage but can additionally slow down enemies with fireballs. The same applies to bards and engineers, who can strengthen their allies in various ways with the support aspect – but deal less damage in return.
Weapons – rarer, but more options for all
There are some changes to the weapons. Each class is now supposed to have a greater selection than before, but the new deadly tools will only be available as rewards from bosses. This means that getting weapons is a bit more difficult, but there are more options for what you want to equip your hero with.

What will the upcoming survival MMORPG Conan Exiles look like? The developers provide a small insight.
The world in which the survival game Conan Exiles takes place must capture the look that Robert E. Howard’s books create in the minds of readers. This look has already been depicted in many images of Conan, comics, films, and also in the MMORPG Age of Conan. Now Funcom demonstrates with initial artworks how Conan Exiles will look.
Developers Present Graphic Assets
Two images have been released showing rock formations and parts of buildings. The developers explain that this is just a fraction of the assets that are currently being created for the game. The focus is currently on finishing the desert area, which will be the landscape that can be explored in the early access to the MMO. However, more biomes will follow later, so the artists and model creators still have plenty of work ahead of them.
Everything Consists of Individual Parts
The developers explain that landscapes and buildings consist of smaller individual parts. A building, for example, can be assembled from various parts, which has the advantage that each building can look unique. Not only basic parts but also more complex ones are used. This method aims to create a believable landscape, and places and buildings will also have very special defense mechanisms. After all, places are constantly under attack, whether from other players or from NPCs from neighboring kingdoms.
Recently, the developers of the MMORPG Conan Exiles saved about some game elements and revealed, for example, that there will be no skills and that the combat will be very active and brutal.
Conan Exiles is set to enter early access for PC in the summer. Versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are also planned.

In Tree of Savior, players are questioning their own early access plan following fans’ protests.
Just recently, we reported on Tree of Savior and its three different early access packages. Depending on how much money one puts on the table, the longer exclusive access they get. Those who pay a hefty 50 euros should get 3 months of early access to the game before free-to-play players can join in.
According to the motto “Less is sometimes more”, the community has now taken to the barricades. According to fans, this period is far too long and would split the player base into several groups. Because those with a 3-month lead are playing with equipment that is in totally different leagues compared to newcomers, if they haven’t already obtained the best gear in the game.
3 Options for Early Access to Tree of Savior
IMCGAMES has taken this criticism to heart and simply asked fans in the forum what they would prefer. The official post states:
“We see communities as an important part of an MMORPG and consider every single player important, regardless of whether they spend money on the game or not. We also want to sincerely apologize for changing the plans for a founder server after initially announcing an open beta without enough explanation.”
In a survey, visitors to the forum can now choose from three options for how they would prefer the release and early access period:
1 week early access: Staggered into 1, 4 and 7 days of exclusive access
1 month early access: No staggering, all founder packages get one month
3 months early access: Staggered into 30, 60 and 90 days of exclusive access (as before)
These changes would also affect additional rewards, such as the premium currency TP. Currently, the “1 Month Early Access” package is clearly in the lead in the survey with 65% of the votes.
How exactly these potential adjustments will impact the timeline and whether the community’s decision can really be implemented is still unknown.

In The Division, the Dark Zone specialty vendor has two expensive jackets in stock. Is it worth purchasing them?
Until tonight, the weekly offer of the Dark Zone specialty vendor is still current. After that, he will have new items available in the northern part of the Dark Zone. We want to take a look at the most expensive items he currently has in stock: jackets!
These cosmetic items cost a whopping 321 Phoenix Credits each and are significantly more expensive than the High-End Vector .45 (206 Phoenix Credits), which is the most expensive weapon on offer. They are the “Ranger Jacket” and the “Jacket – Sand Color”. Is it worth buying these jackets for this hefty price?
This is the “Ranger Jacket” in The Division
This jacket comes in a dark green-brown shade. For 321 Phoenix Credits – not exactly a bargain.
This is the “Jacket – Sand Color” in The Division
This jacket is somewhat flashier than the other one. Thanks to its orange color, it is likely to be more of an eye-catcher (see also title image).
For such a price, which requires a long time to farm Phoenix Credits, these jackets are probably rather disappointing. Therefore, Arekkz Gaming advises to steer clear and instead invest in nice weapons or equipment pieces. You will probably get more out of that. However, if you find these jackets awesome and really want them, you still have until tonight to purchase them.
You can be sure that not everyone will spend so many PCs on a jacket, so you could at least create a unique look that stands out a bit from the crowd. If you still have plenty of PCs left, the decision is entirely up to you regarding what you want to do with them.
In this video, you can admire the jackets from different angles:

For Heroes of the Storm, a new map will be released soon, but it only has one path and hardly any map objectives. We have the details.
The Lost Cavern – simple, but fun?
With the next major patch, there will be a new map in the Nexus of “Heroes of the Storm”. However, the new map will not be available in the regular rotation, but only in custom matches.
The “Lost Cavern” differs significantly from the previous battlegrounds, as there is only a single path. As if that weren’t strange enough, there are also no bosses or other map objectives to fulfill, only some power-ups in the form of regeneration orbs scattered along the way. Heroes must also forgo the hearthstone, as they cannot heal at the fountain. Thus, every hit point gains more significance and the match consists of relentless back and forth, an eternal group fight that will likely only end late.
The developers designed this map because players had already created such matches themselves and had previously generated these conflicts “artificially”. Even though it might not be referred to that way, the developers are aware that almost every other MOBA has a similar mode, which is usually called “Aram” (“All random, all mid”). Apart from the random heroes, that is exactly what has now been delivered.
In general, her abilities are expected to be improved, and the gameplay with the plants should also be refreshed. Especially her role as a counter-attacker with strong zone control (Man, these German technical terms sound so nice …) is viewed positively and should be refined a bit more. Another important point is her passive ability. Players and the development team have labeled this ability as “the weak point of her kit.”
While “The Mistress of Thorns” (passive) offers some interesting moments when you would otherwise just be dead, this slow flight speed and the long wait time until you can use this ability make The Mistress of Thorns rather boring and unremarkable. Her other abilities, such as “Riveting Roots” (E), are well-received and fit the plant sorcerer theme.
Zyra is designed as a support champion, but should still remain a solid choice for the mid-lane. The placement of melee and ranged plants is unique and should be retained. Now, let’s take a look at the changes.
This is what is coming with the Wizard update for Zyra in LoL
Traits that are likely to be retained:
Identity as a counter-attack sorcerer
The ability to immobilize enemies and “burst” them when they enter her area
Enemies will clearly feel the plant theme
Dies quickly if caught
Her ultimate ability is strong, characteristic, and compelling
Traits that are unsatisfactory and need improvement:
Not enough ways to interact with plants
Her passive ability is not as fun as it should be
The behavior of her plants often feels strange/glitchy
How Zyra should play after the Wizard update in LoL
With her abilities, there should be more ways to interact with plants
Players attacking a rooted Zyra should be cautious
Zyra’s strategic nature as a counter-attacker should be further developed and become even stronger.
I am very curious about what Riot will come up with to interact more with plants. I also find the statement good that they will design her as a support, while also keeping in mind that many players want to play her in the mid lane.
CCP Games has announced the release of the major EVE Online update “Citadel” on April 27, allowing you to create your own cities in space.
Own spaceships are cool, large space stations are better – but how about being able to build an entire city in space? With the upcoming “Citadel” update, players of the MMORPG EVE Online will be able to construct space cities in three different sizes. The largest XL citadel even allows massive titans to dock!
Expensive Space Cities
The city can be expanded with modules. For instance, you can attach a market, a clone section, and other units. Furthermore, you must ensure sufficient defense systems. Naturally, a city also needs a population and personnel. Depending on its size, a citadel costs between 700 million and 120 billion. Your city must also be maintained once a week. The size of the city determines how long the maintenance takes. During this time, the citadel is vulnerable, so you will need to rely on other defense methods.
Your city will then serve as your home base or can be used as a trading post. It can develop into a popular spot in the galaxy.
There are a few changes
The “Citadel” update will also introduce a number of other changes to the MMO EVE Online. These include modifications and new adjustments to titans as well as visually more prominent indicators in the UI when something important happens. The Force Auxiliaries will be the new remotely operated repair ships. Additionally, some objects, such as NPC offices or hangars, can be modified so that they cannot be destroyed anymore. What is stored there will then be safer for players.
If you want to build your own space city in the MMORPG EVE Online, you will have to wait until the release of the “Citadel” update on April 27.

The Korean MMORPG Black Desertcelebrates St. Patrick’s Day in the West with beer and green dye boxes.
This is called multi-culti. The genuinely Korean MMORPG Black Desert celebrates the Irish memorial day for Bishop Patrick in the Western version.
In Western popular culture, St. Patrick’s Day (on March 17th) is commonly known as: everything that can be dyed is dyed green; drink as much as possible and pretend to be Irish. Similar to Halloween, this was actually quite rare in Germany. However, it is gaining popularity in major cities. In the USA, people with Irish roots celebrate the day enthusiastically, also to emphasize their own identity as Irish. Many others like to join in.
In Black Desert, St. Patrick’s Day means: Through the “Loyalty Menu,” players can request a green dye box, 3 beers, and 2 green fireworks. This is available daily until March 21 at 10:00 AM.
Additionally, during this time, cheaper green dye packages can be purchased in the Pearl Store, and one dye package is practically given for 1 loyalty point. But only one per family.

Are you excited about the upcoming flood of mobile MMOs for iPhone or Android? Or is that a game full of mysteries for you?
Friday is question day. As is the case every weekend, we want to discuss with you again today and talk about the changes in the colorful landscape of MMORPGs to exchange opinions and find out how our community feels about certain topics. Today, we’re also discussing (as the name of our site somehow suggests) MMORPGs.
Mobile MMOs like “Dungeon Hunter” are already on the rise.
Regardless of how you look at it, classic MMORPGs are currently in a difficult situation. Those who want to express it a bit more dramatically could also claim that MMORPGs are currently “dying,” and they wouldn’t be wrong. In the Asian market, more and more MMORPGs are “going down the drain,” publishers are withdrawing from the PC market and focusing on mobile.
Here too, a grim picture is slowly emerging. In addition to some perennial giants like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2, more and more providers have to fold, cease operations, or generate new revenue streams (like recently Rift). The trend has been clear for some time: mobile gaming is becoming more important.
But can the concept of a mobile MMORPG really work? Publishers and developers are firmly convinced of that. Although there is currently a lack of “mobile AAA titles,” it seems just a matter of time before they conquer the market in Asia and will then be played millions of times here as well. NCSoft opened a mobile studio in the USA for a lot of money a few months ago.
Surely many mechanics would need to be changed and adapted for the mobile market, which is a process in which the two types of games can inspire each other. After all, more and more “mobile/browser game” elements are appearing in MMORPGs, so the step in the other direction also makes sense.
The garrison in WoW has learned from “mobile games”. Small click tasks and “energy” in the form of garrison resources.
Cortyn says: Ahahaha. No. Seriously, just no. For me, “mobile gaming” still encompasses a secret round of “Pokémon Red,” which you played under the covers while you were supposed to be sleeping in for math class. I can certainly understand that people find pleasure in the “typical” money traps in the mobile sector and temporarily lose themselves in “Heroes Charge” or similar games.
But for me, an MMO is still a game that I play on the computer or at worst on the console, where I feel comfortable, can spend a lot of time at once, and am not bound to a small display. Maybe it has to hit me cold before I can bring myself to really dive into mobile gaming. But as long as I still have enough alternatives on the PC, that is a distant future for me.
But enough about me, how do you see it? Can you imagine succumbing to the mobile MMO market if it truly blooms? Or does an MMO only work in the familiar home environment in front of the big screen? Are you perhaps looking forward to a specific mobile MMO? Let us know in the comments!

The new patch for Blizzard’s Diablo 3 will be overhauling some legendary gems to make them fit “better” into the game.
In particular, the popular legendary gems are now in focus. The reason is that some of these gems do not fulfill a clear role. Some gems in Diablo 3 fit perfectly into a specific role, while others fit a specific playstyle (for example, the “Enforcer” fits a playstyle with many companions); while some gems perform poorly in their role or do not fit into a specific role at all.
This is why 5 legendary gems have been chosen for revision in the upcoming patch. These are not the last gems to be revised in Diablo 3. However, they are the ones that currently stand out the most to the development team. These gems will now either receive a clearer role assignment or just a little “refinement.”
These legendary gems will be revised in Diablo 3
The following changes will take place for the Enforcer:
Companions take less damage
The damage bonus can now be combined with other sources that provide a similar damage bonus (example: “Tasker and Theo”)
With these changes, the aim is to make this gem a reasonable choice for players who play with many companions. The survival of these companions is important. It was also considered to make the companions invulnerable at gem level 25, but that would make the gameplay too dull.
The following changes will take place for Gogok of Swiftness:
A stack of “Swiftness” is now generated with every attack
In addition to attack speed, each stack of Swiftness now also increases a bonus to dodge chance
With each gem level, the dodge chance will be increased additionally
Since now “Swiftness” is constantly active in combat, it is easier for the development team to adjust the values of this gem. Because this gem now provides attack speed, cooldown reduction and toughness, it will become an option for multiple playstyles and roles.
The following changes will take place for Mirinae, Tear of the Starweaver:
“Strike Down” now does more damage
The bonus damage per gem level has also been increased
The cooldown of Strike Down at gem level 25 has been reduced
Strike Down now also heals you every time an enemy is hit by it for a percentage of your maximum life
To differentiate Mirinae more from other legendary gems in Diablo 3, some changes were necessary. With these changes, the gem is now intended to be an option for players who need more damage on single targets and also do not say “No!” to additional healing.
The following changes will take place for Strength of Simplicity:
The damage bonus is now combinable with other sources that provide a similar damage bonus (example: “Depth Digger”)
The healing granted by the gem at level 25 has now been increased
To better align the gem with its role, it has now been upgraded. While it has always been “nice” when primary skills dealt more damage, this bonus must of course be sufficiently high to compete against other gems.
The following changes will take place for Taeguk:
Now grants a stack only when resources are spent on a channeled skill
These stacks are now limited to 10
The stacks no longer last 3 seconds but decay faster
The damage bonus has been increased
With each gem level, the damage bonus increases
The armor bonus received at gem level 25 has been increased
This gem has been comprehensively changed to avoid being an “all-rounder for nearly every role”. Currently, the gem fits almost every playstyle, and players simply spam skills into the void to maintain the stacks. The aim is for this gem to be used by players who play with skills like Barrage or Whirlwind. While the changes to this gem are significant, other gems have been adjusted accordingly.
What do you think of the changes? Finally some sensible legendary gems in Diablo 3, or was everything fine as it was?
What else does patch 2.4.1 bring, read in this article:
As Ubisoft Massive stated on the official The Division website, a patch is set to be released sometime next week. However, the exact release date and what changes the update will bring have not been disclosed by the developers. More information will be revealed “very soon”.
A possible time for the patch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC could be in the morning on March 22. Maintenance work is said to occur weekly on Tuesdays between 9 and 12. Every week, Ubisoft Massive publishes an article in which they present news from the developer and community team.
The developers may adjust the Dark Zone with this patch. After all, it was hinted at in a previous developer livestream that changes to this PvP area are necessary. There is a lack of a PvP element that truly motivates agents. We have already discussed in this article that things are too peaceful in the Dark Zone.
We will report on this patch as soon as new information becomes available.

All about Xur on March 18, March 19, and March 20
When does Xur arrive at the Tower and when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, March 18, at 10:00 AM. He leaves on Sunday, March 20, also at 10:00 AM.
Where is Xur? What is his location today?
Xur is once again by the Speaker in the Tower.

A new trailer for the upcoming Warcraft movie has been released. Check it out here.
Second Trailer of Warcraft: The Beginning
European fans only have a little over 2 months to wait until the movie “Warcraft: The Beginning” hits theaters on May 26. Legendary Pictures has now released the second trailer of the film, which we don’t want to withhold from you. This time there’s a little less story to see, but some fight sequences instead. Although not all the footage is new and much was already seen in the first trailer, it is nevertheless worth a look (not only for fans).
By the way: In America, the film will be released several weeks later, in June. Keep this joyful event in mind the next time you want to complain about how “the Americans always get everything before us”.
The rumor mill is boiling – is World of Warcraft: Legion coming in June? Some hints at least suggest so.
Is the Legion stealing our summer vacation?
It has now become a regular procedure that rumors shoot up whenever a new expansion for World of Warcraft is supposed to be released finally. In particular, various retailers, who often carelessly list a supposed release date, fuel the rumor mill every time.
As reported by the English site mmorpg.com, various retailers in Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Arab Emirates have announced the sale of the expansion for June 30. However, as this is also the last day of “spring”, it could simply be an estimate, since Blizzard had planned to release the addon in “summer”.
At the end of May, the movie “Warcraft: The Beginning” will come to Europe, and since Blizzard has already conducted a survey beforehand about what players would think of a possible “Movie Packet” containing the base game and additional playtime. This could bridge the gap until the release of Legion – at least in theory.
Currently, World of Warcraft: Legion is still in closed alpha phase, and not all areas and game content are accessible yet. A release in June seems, given Blizzard’s usual pace (“It’s done, when it’s done”), rather unrealistic.
For more news and articles about the upcoming expansion Legion, you can find it on our World of Warcraft topic page.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the spring update will be released in a month.
Today, there were new infos from Bungie in “This Week at Bungie.” It’s about the big content patch scheduled for spring.
The spring update finally has a date
The spring update will now be called the “April Update.” It is set to release on April 12, 2016. The official name is “Update 2.2.0.” Included will be:
new PvE challenges
new and updated gear
a new quest that includes the “Blighted Chalice Strike”
an increase in the maximum light level and rewards
sandbox and crucible updates (that are probably balance changes)
… and more (with three significant dots).
Bungie will present the next free update of Destiny in three streams
The update will be free if you have “The Taken King.” So just download it and that’s it.
It will be presented over the next three Wednesdays. These are March 24, March 31, and April 6. Each at 11 AM Pacific Time. For us, that’s the first time at 7 PM and then twice at 8 PM. (There’s the time change on Sunday, the 27th, in Germany in between).
In the first stream on the 23rd at 7:00 PM, it will be about new game content.
In the second stream on the 30th at 8:00 PM about the new rewards.
And in the 3rd stream on April 6 at 8:00 PM, it will be about balance changes.
What all this means exactly, what will happen in the April update, we will learn in the coming weeks. We at Mein-MMO will likely accompany the three live streams with a live ticker in German.
Today, we have dealt with what could be coming and what the keywords from Bungie might conceal. The only “new” information about the content is regarding the quest and the “Blighted Chalice Strike” (something like corrupted chalice) – that sounds quite like the Taken:
It looks like we shouldn’t make any plans for the next Wednesday evenings. Closer in the future is the visit of Xur, the agent of the Nine. He is scheduled for Friday, March 18, at 10:00 AM. Here is our “Xur in Destiny” article from March 18.

Next week, the first purchasable DLC “Outer Rim” for Star Wars Battlefront will be released.
On Tuesday, March 22, it’s finally happening. Then the first paid DLC “Outer Rim” for the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront will be released on PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. EA announced this tonight in a trailer: On March 22, it should be playable if you own a Season Pass.
Update: It is now confirmed. Players without a Season Pass will only be able to start on April 5. The 4 DLCs are expected to cost $15 each (likely also in Euros), the Season Pass with all four was available for $50.
The trailer once again addresses the age-old question: Who shot first? Han or Greedo?
The DLC brings four new maps on Sullust and Tatooine. It promises pipelines, platforms, Jabba’s throne room, and the hangar of his sail barge. With Greedo and Nien Nunb two extraordinary heroes are newly added. The Relby-v10 rifle and the DT-12 blaster pistol are also included. For star cards, you can expect “Scattergun”, “Dioxis Grenade”, and “Adrenaline Stimulator”.
The fresh game mode “Transport” is also thrown into the mix by EA. Here, rebels must recover material from transports and bring it to their cargo ship. The imperial troops will try to prevent them from doing so.

Fans of the background story of Overwatch will soon get plenty of food for thought. We have the details.
Why does Winston like peanut butter?
Already at BlizzCon two years ago, fans expressed concerns that Overwatch would be a great game, but without exciting lore, many players might never engage with it. Blizzard heard these concerns and, a year later, at BlizzCon 2015, announced that it would tell the background story of the hero shooter in different ways. It seems that they are now serious about this.

This March, they plan to start releasing “Shorts”: short cinematics that highlight the background story of individual characters. At first glance, these videos will match the quality of the intro cinematics – so it will be exciting to see.
Comic lovers will also get their money’s worth – oh, nonsense. It’s free! In total, Blizzard plans to release 6 short, digital comics by the launch of the game on May 24, which will shed light on the past of the criminals Roadhog and Junkrat, but also take a closer look at the German knight Reinhardt. The first comic is set to be released in April and reveals details about the story of McCree.
In conclusion, there is also a larger work, a complete “Graphic Novel” that deals with the Omnic Crisis. The Omnic Crisis was the uprising of the robots, which hardly any nation could resist and ultimately led to the founding of Overwatch. Logically, this will address the stories of the founding members of Overwatch, such as heroes like Soldier: 76, Torbjörn, Reaper, and Reinhardt. However, the cost of this work and when exactly it will be released is still unknown.
Where did Winston get his glasses? Why are Genji and Hanzo at war with each other? Why does Reinhardt like Hasslehoff’s music? (Okay, dumb question) And most importantly for the numerous fanfictions: What happened between Widowmaker and Tracer?
Reinhardt hunting dragons? Yep, that’s how it is…
