6. What is there to do after reaching max level 30?
Have you already reached the maximum level in The Division and now want to dive into the endgame content? Here is an overview of everything you should know about the endgame content of The Division.
In Destiny, we want to take a look back and watch a video that evokes many memories.
Bungie remains tight-lipped about the upcoming content for Destiny. Tonight, we expect the weekly letter to the community, and hopefully, we will receive a piece of information that we can eagerly dive into. However, since it has been quite silent regarding Bungie’s MMO shooter recently, and the developers seemingly want to let the The Division wave die down, we take the opportunity to look back once more. So really far back.
The following video evokes numerous memories for many of us: many good ones, but surely also some that drove us to the brink of madness. With humor and a healthy dose of irony, the Year-One content of Destiny is presented to us once again. Take a look:

In this video, a Year-One Guardian explains to some “noobs” what he has experienced in the first year. Right from the start, the all-defining topic of the first year of Destiny is brought up, the Gjallarhorn. The weapon is called a true beast, which was highly coveted – and that’s putting it mildly.
The Year-One Guardian further explains that we completed the same activities over and over again. We often swore we would never play Destiny again, yet we never stopped. “They always come back.”
The story also gets its share of criticism: We played it, understood almost nothing, and in the end thought: “What the f…, is this it?” We waited months for new story content, which never really came. Furthermore, we all ran around in the Crucible with the same weapons, such as Suros or Thorn. In PvE, we all had the Icebreaker or the Black Spindle. A look back at all our successes in the raids is also part of it. “Those were the days.”
Back then, you couldn’t buy resources like Ghost Fragments. You had to farm Ghost Fragments on Venus for half of Saturday to have enough to level up just one item.
He also reminds us that we had to farm treasure keys for hours and days and set new speed records with the Sparrows to open chests as often as possible before the timer ran out. “God, that was awesome!”
We experienced a lot and met other Guardians
Guardians who started in Year 2 will never experience all these memories, and many more. Even though many experiences were truly bad and annoying, we would not want to miss them. They shape our seasoned Guardians. They are part of us.
For many, the highlight in Destiny was and is the online experience with other Guardians. It often happened that random encounters turned into clan members and clan members became friends.
In Destiny, it is not about the story, raids, or the Crucible. It is only about the experiences you gather with your friends. And no one can take that away from you.
In Year 1, the Hawkmoon was an extremely deadly weapon. What can it do in the second year of Destiny? Find out here.

What can you do if The Division shows the error Delta 20010186?
In The Division, some PC players are experiencing connection issues. They see the Delta error 20010186.
In the reddit forum for The Division, users help each other who are suffering from this error. It seems to have something to do with network settings: a delicate topic. Those who are afraid of breaking something should rather stay away.
Amateurs on reddit recommend, for example, that you uninstall or turn off VPN (virtual private network). This seems to have helped some.
Another solution that apparently helps some Windows 10 users is to enter these 4 commands under Run as “Admin”:
netsh advfirewall reset
netsh int ip reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset
Additionally, there is a reference to this help article for resetting the network adapters.
If you have a healthy distrust of people you don’t know who post anonymously on the Internet telling you what to change on your computer – which we fully understand – you should contact Ubisoft customer support.
Do you have problems with the Delta error 20010186, have you gained experiences and have a solution ready?

Overwatch has been expanded with a new map and numerous legendary skins. We have the details.
On March 8th, a new patch for Overwatch was released, which includes a whopping 4 GB. The contents of the update include a new map, small changes to the progression system, new skins, and an updated voiceover for the healer Mercy.
New Map Ilios
From now on, the heroes of Overwatch can also try their luck on the map Ilios to capture the three control points on the beautiful island. One might occasionally wonder why one cannot lounge on the beautiful beach chairs, as the surroundings resemble an idyllic vacation paradise.
Several other maps have also received updates, as health packs have been repositioned on many maps and the Temple of Anubis has undergone changes at the second control point: here, attackers now have more options.
Changes to the Overwatch Progression System
Some adjustments have also been made to the progression system and new skins have been added. All characters now have at least one emote that can be used in the game by default. Additionally, all heroes now have the emotes “Heroic”, “Cheer”, and “Taunt”, which can be unlocked through the system.
There are also 7 new legendary outfits for Bastion, McCree, Reinhardt, Lucio, Pharah, and Soldier 76, which can be purchased for 1000 credits or obtained directly from loot boxes.
New Voice for Mercy
There is a small change for fans of the healer Mercy. She now has a completely new voice actress in the English version of the game. According to Blizzard, this recasting was done because they always try to find voice actors who are proficient in both English and the native language of the respective character. This is exactly the case with the new voice. This also results in Mercy occasionally saying “Heroes never die!” during her ultimate.
Mercy has a new voice and occasionally speaks German.
Numerous hints and leaks are already pointing in a certain direction. Most of it is just some internet stuff. A Reddit user has now discovered a clue about the theme of the expansion in the real world in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
“Whispers of the Old Gods”, the whispering of the Old Gods, is what it seems. This will be the first card expansion for Hearthstone in 2016. Essentially, all the hints that exist point in this direction. And now we also have it written on a wall in Brooklyn.
The title image is a snippet from the Imgur image that we also have in the article. It was taken and published by Reddit user That_Azzin .

In The Division, agents are wondering what Phoenix Credits really are. We clarify.
In The Division, you must collect various currencies with which you can acquire various items. In addition to credits and the Dark Zone currency, there are also Phoenix Credits. But what is this currency about?
This is what Phoenix Credits are in The Division
Arekkz Gaming provides us with the following information about this currency:
Phoenix Credits are an endgame currency that you can use to buy endgame equipment pieces. The two vendors for this are located in the Tech Wing of the Base of Operations and far to the north in the safe zone of the Dark Zone.
Arekkz deliberately speaks of endgame equipment pieces, as it is not just about high-ends. There are also superior items, mods, Dark Zone keys, or cosmetic items that you can acquire with this.
You earn these credits by completing daily activities and missions in Challenge Mode. Once you reach level 30, the daily missions will be unlocked.Note: The Phoenix Credits from Challenging Mode activities can only be earned once per week.
Sometimes you receive bonus credits from the final boss.

The Asia MMORPG Black Desert has likely had a good start, can show impressive player numbers, and is expanding.
As reported by 2p, the freshly launched MMORPG Black Desert in the West broke the barrier of 100,000 concurrent players during its first weekend. The proportion of returning players is high at 80%.
It is further stated that over 500,000 players participated in the character creation event before the actual launch. The site 2p refers to statements by publisher Daum but does not provide any further sources.
@_Aethiru we are working on it, we are also increasing server capacity. Our Apologies for the hassle
While many newly launched MMORPGs experience such a surge, most recently with Blade and Soul, the peculiarity here is that Black Desert is a Buy2Play MMORPG. Most MMORPGs with such a turnout are Free2Play games. They have a much lower barrier to giving it a try.
While the characteristics of Black Desert’s AFK-friendliness could contribute to the high server load. A similar phenomenon was observed with ArcheAge.

The YouTuber Refaser presents the latest class in Blade & Soul, the Pactbreaker, in detail.
A few days ago, a new patch was applied to the live servers of Blade & Soul, which has already added a new class to the game less than a month after the west release. The Pactbreaker (originally: Warlock) is an aggressive ranged fighter who can deal powerful damage alongside a demon at his side and keeps opponents trapped in control effects for longer periods.
However, such power also comes with downsides, as the Pactbreaker is literally a glass cannon and can quickly end up in the dirt. Refaser introduces the Pactbreaker in the video and reveals why he currently considers this class overpowered, why beginners should take note of it, and how players can take advantage of a free character slot.

The MMO shooter The Division makes history for Ubisoft. More copies of The Division were sold in the first 24 hours than any other game in the company’s history.
In addition to the record for the best-selling Ubisoft game in 24 hours, the “Third Person Action RPG” is breaking another record. The digital sales on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 were higher in one day than any other Ubisoft title ever has been.

The CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, is celebrating, stating that the launch is an incredible achievement for Ubisoft. It demonstrates the company’s unparalleled ability to take a new game market and turn it into an entertainment blockbuster. This is a memorable day for Ubisoft, and more importantly: It marks the start for millions of players in the world of The Division. They are sure to love it.
In The Division, there are 40 unlockable perks that permanently improve your agents. We will look at which perks are particularly worth it at the beginning.
Right from the start of your journey, it’s wise to efficiently gather experience points and (DZ) credits. With the following ten perks, which we will now present, you should be able to progress quickly in the game.
Here you will find all the abilities.
Start with these 10 perks
You unlock perks by upgrading the wings of your base and choosing specific upgrades at the laptops. Start with the Security Wing.
Perk: Experienced Agent
Security Wing Upgrade: Operations Center
Cost: none, this is your first upgrade
This should be your initial perk. Complete the first Security mission to gain this advantage, which increases your XP from all activities by 10 percent. That’s a good start.
Perk: Credit
Medical Wing Upgrade: Consultation
Cost: 200
This is an inexpensive perk that increases the credits you receive by 10%. And you can never have enough credits.
Perk: Incendiary Rounds / Special Ammunition
Security Wing Upgrade: Watchtower
Cost: 200
Here you unlock two perks that will be useful in combat. Incendiary rounds increase the duration of fire damage by 10 seconds, and with Special Ammunition, you can pick up incendiary and explosive rounds in the Security Wing every hour. These should be useful for boss fights.
Perk: Inventory
Tech Wing Upgrade: Command Room
Cost: none, first upgrade
Here you get 10 additional slots for your inventory. This allows you more space in your backpack for all the nice things you find out there.
Perk: Info Discovery
Security Wing Upgrade: K9 Unit
Cost: 200
This reveals all collectible items in a zone once all side missions and encounters are completed. This allows you to efficiently grab the extra XP waiting for you there.
Perk: Dark Zone Currency
Tech Wing Upgrade: Charging Center
Cost: 200
This perk increases the loot of Dark Zone currency by 10% and is considered highly valuable – after all, you can buy lucrative items with DZ currency.
Perk: Division Tech Material / Engineer
Tech Wing Upgrade: Division Tech
Cost: 1000
If you want to start with Crafting, these perks are worthwhile. Engineer allows you to collect a crafting material called “Electronics” once per hour in the Tech Wing. With Division Tech Material, you can convert Division Tech crafting material into other materials at the crafting station.
Perk: Hazardous Materials
Tech Wing Upgrade: Communication
Cost: 500
This expands the Dark Zone inventory by one more slot. By the way, you can find perks with the same benefit in the Medical and Security Wings.
Perk: Advanced Weapons / Grenades
Security Wing Upgrade: Arsenal
Cost: 500
Here, two perks are unlocked as well. An extra grenade, especially the “Grenade,” is always useful. The Advanced Weapons vendor is particularly useful later in the game since you will need a lot of money for these weapons.
Perk: First Aid Kit
Medical Wing Upgrades: Clinic, Intensive Care, Pediatric Care
Cost: various (3x unlockable)
Here, you can increase your medkit inventory to a maximum of 5. It never hurts to have enough medkits on hand.
Note that individual upgrades also unlock various talents and skills; we have made the recommendations based solely on the always-active bonuses from the perks.
What do you think of these perks? Would you recommend others at the beginning?
What would a fantasy MMORPG be without a Ranger? In Crowfall, you can also take on the role of such a ranged fighter.
Like every class in Crowfall, the Ranger is designed to be fun to play even with few but effective skills. The Ranger is also the first ranged class, which posed some problems for the developers. How should aiming work? How strong are bows compared to melee weapons? Should arrows be unlimited?
Arrows and Stealth
As for ammunition, it has been decided that it must be crafted (or bought). So one has to think carefully in battles and, of course, aim well so as not to waste ammunition unnecessarily. This led to the question of what would happen if one runs out of arrows.
Therefore, the Ranger has the option to perform melee attacks as well. A Ranger does not have a “stealth mode” in which they can move around invisibly. They can hide, which makes them invisible, but only as long as they do not move. Aiming does not work through a helper system; as a Ranger, you have to pay attention to where you shoot.
Melee and Ranged Combat
Recently, many sandbox titles have been announced. Crowfall is considered one of the biggest hopes for MMORPGs.
The Ranger can switch between melee and ranged combat, but this always takes a bit of time and must therefore be planned tactically. With the switch, his powers that he can use also change. The Ranger in Crowfall, in addition to active powers, also has passive abilities, such as “controlled breathing,” through which the Ranger can regenerate energy. The energy is needed to use active skills.
If you want to learn more about the Ranger of the MMORPG Crowfall in detail, you can read more about him on the official website of the MMO. The developers note, however, that everything is still in flux and many things can still change for the Ranger.

In Destiny , the rumor of a so-called industry insider is circulating that Destiny 2 is set to be released at Christmas 2017 and is flirting with Nintendo’s new console NX..
It is an extremely dubious rumor that has been circulating for a few days. Now that there is a statement from Bungie’s PR specialists, we want to tell you about it.
Rumor: Destiny 2 is called Beyond Destiny, is set for Christmas 2017
The website “Dual Pixels” reported from an industry insider who has previously released information about Pokemon that turned out to be true. He claims to have even hotter information on Destiny now. It is said that “Destiny 2” has been renamed “Beyond Destiny”.
According to the rumors, you will be able to play “Beyond Destiny” not only online but also as a local multiplayer. Nintendo wants beta access for the new NX console to “Beyond Destiny” and plans to release the first Destiny in early 2017 on the NX in a complete version.
According to the industry insider, “Beyond Destiny” is supposed to be released at Christmas 2017.
Bungie’s PR manager comments on the rumor with a smile
The whole rumor was viewed extremely skeptically by Destiny players. Nintendo and Destiny don’t seem to go well together for many. Destiny, as an “Always-On” title, suddenly in a local multiplayer – doubts about the credibility of the rumor arose.
A tweet from Bungie’s PR chief Eric Osborne ultimately took the wind out of the rumor’s sails. He wrote, “After a few fun years in the industry, I am beyond such rumors and speculation. I wish you were too.”
After a few fun years in the industry, I am well Beyond rumor and speculation. I wish you were 2!
The new, major update for the MMORPG Project Gorgon brings many changes to the online game.
Project Gorgon is a sandbox MMORPG that aims to evoke the early days of the genre. There are no watered-down quests, and you cannot reach the endgame within a few hours. Hard work is required in a relentless world where every mistake can have serious consequences and every success can bring enormous riches.
More Exciting Battles
The MMORPG is currently still in alpha and is continuously expanded and improved in collaboration with the community. A new and very extensive update has now been released. This introduces an early version of the city of Rahu and the South Serbule area. The areas are not finished yet but can already be visited.
However, the real changes lie in the areas of leveling, combat, and loot. You now level up significantly slower through battles, and the fights also last longer. This is intended to give you a greater sense of needing to do something to improve. Additionally, the chance has been introduced for every monster to drop rare loot, not just the boss enemies.
This should lead to high-level players also engaging with regular monsters again. The spawn rate of creatures has also been somewhat reduced, so it should feel a bit better to fight through the dungeons. A
A new element called “Combat Wisdom” has been introduced. This is a type of additional EXP that you primarily receive when fighting in a group. With these points, you are able to unlock and improve special abilities.
In addition, the update for the MMORPG Project Gorgon has introduced several other changes. You can read about them in the very extensive post in the official forum of the online game.

In The Division, the first agents have already reached the max level 30. What activities are there for these agents to do in the endgame?
Although the official launch of The Division was only two days ago, the first max-level agents are already roaming the streets of New York. One of the first was the reddit user nikulasu, who shares this success with the community. The user took nearly 15 hours to reach the highest level in The Division. He followed only the main story, did a few side missions here and there, and took out the encounters he ran into.
He summarizes, without giving too much away, that he had as much fun with the game as he hasn’t had in a long time. Leveling, scenery, battles, the different areas ‒ everything was incredibly enjoyable. But what is there for agents at the max level, like nikulasu, to do? What are the current endgame contents?
Things for max-level agents to do in The Division
After reaching level 30, agents can continue to build their so-called Gear Score. The higher the average Gear Score of your equipment, the more powerful you are. This is comparable to the light level in Destiny. We have summarized more details in this article.
You can continue to explore the Dark Zone. The open PvP area not only offers agents special challenges but also particularly lucrative loot. Here you can continue to raise your Gear Score and snag DZ currency.
Additionally, there are daily missions to complete, which are not particularly challenging but rewarding. In the daily missions, you can earn Phoenix Credits, among others.
From level 30 onwards, you can play certain story missions in Challenge difficulty mode. Here you can also earn Phoenix Credits, but only once per week.
The Collectibles known from other Ubisoft games are also found in The Division – from Echos to missing agents to phone reports.
Additionally, you can already look forward to the first update, which is set to arrive in April and will integrate the Incursions, the raids, into the game. A raid is a 4-player endgame activity. You can find more detailed information in this article.
Is the max level still far away for you, as you’re stuck at the activation of your agent? Here is a solution suggestion.

In Star Wars Battlefront , Jabba the Hutt will likely be introduced. He will award “Hutt Contracts”.
In the latest trailer for free updates for Star Wars Battlefront, Jabba the Hutt is seen. As features and reasons to check back into Battlefront, it is proclaimed:
Free new maps
2 free co-op missions
Unlocking new gear
And “Coming Soon” Hutt Contracts.
We don’t yet know what the Hutt Contracts entail. In February and March recently, there were indeed new missions and maps, but there was no mention of Jabba.
It looks like the “Hutt Contracts” will introduce game content in one of the upcoming patches. For March, the DLC “Outer Rim” is still planned, where Jabba’s Palace is expected to play a role. It seems that the old slave owner will also be included in the game – and for free. He certainly wouldn’t like that.

The start date for the open beta test of Tree of Savior has been leaked. But how true is this?
Is the Tree of Savior beta starting next week?
In recent days, the number of leaks surrounding numerous games has increased. The latest “victim” of such an incident is the MMORPG Tree of Savior, which is expected to enter an open beta for the international version soon.
According to this, a post appeared briefly on the official Tree of Savior page stating that the game’s beta is supposed to start on March 14, 2016, and the game itself will be available on Steam. However, the leaked post also stated that the game’s preload should begin on March 7, but as of now (as of March 9, 6:00 AM), this is still not the case.
Since the announcement also included an advertising graphic referring to the date, it is at least quite likely that the beta will actually start on March 14. If the date should be postponed again, it will likely only be by a few days.
Currently, agents in The Division are amusing and frustrating themselves over a problem that some jokers are ruthlessly exploiting: they block the doors, preventing other agents from passing.
In The Division, a problem has arisen that some agents find extremely funny, while others find it very annoying – depending on which side of the door you are on. The doors in the game are only wide enough for an agent to walk through comfortably, but if an agent stands right between the door frames, problems occur.

These “problems” are shamelessly exploited by hilarious agents, who chuckle to themselves when they can hinder other agents in their progress. Especially in the safe houses, where many agents gather in one place, joy and sorrow are closely intertwined.
A solution that supposedly provides relief from the troublemakers is as follows: just run against the disruptors until the game’s physics fail and let you pass. Or you can just stay forever in this safe house and throw a party with the other agents. If it gets boring, you can also organize something like this together with the others:
This is how you can identify Germans in an online game.
Have you noticed this door problem as well?

In Guild Wars 2, a new raid wing opens up, unleashing a rather slow boss enemy. We have the details.
The Sloth and Some Worms
Guild Wars 2 opened its newest raid wing, the Salvation Pass, yesterday, on March 8, 2016. In the depths of the Maguuma jungle, a strange magical force is at work, constantly creating new dangers in the form of horrific creatures. The latest spawn of this process is the gigantic sloth and raid boss Slothasor. Generally, one doesn’t think of a sloth as an acute threat, but a glance at the “face” of the beast is enough to send a shiver down players’ spines.
The monster doesn’t come alone, but summons a whole host of worms that additionally target the raid, inflict negative effects, and poison again upon their demise. It will likely take a few days for the professional guilds to publish a reasonable strategy for this fight.
New challenges in Guild Wars 2 also come with plenty of new rewards. This happens in the form of various weapons, new skins for the weapons, and even a mini-Slothasor as a companion. It’s quite cute, isn’t it?
In The Division, a common issue currently arises where you can’t verify your identity right at the beginning: activation cannot be completed. So far, there is only one solution to the problem.
Only a few minutes in, and some agents cannot proceed: After you have created your character, you proceed to the Safehouse in The Division, where you must “activate” your agent. At a laptop, you must verify your identity by pressing Square (PS4) or the X button. An orange bar fills up.But: While some can complete this task without issues, many agents are currently facing nothing happening. Even repeatedly pressing the required buttons does not help.
The currently only, but by no means reliable solution to this problem is: log out. After you log out via the menu (with Triangle or Y), you can attempt to complete the activation again.
If this method does not work the first time, repeat the process. There has not yet been an official statement from Ubisoft.
Here is a video about it:
