The latest DLC Thieves Guild has been released for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, and the developers discuss this update and the continuation of the main quest in an interview.
With the freshly released DLC Thieves Guild for PC, a new storyline awaits you that will keep you engaged for about eight to ten hours. The adventures take place in both new areas and old zones. This time, the developers have consciously decided to make the quests a bit “shorter” than they were in the DLC Orsinium. Instead, there are many more daily quests and repeatable missions.
Passive Skills and Assistants
The new skills that you receive as part of the Thieves Guild are passive skills. This was to ensure that activities like stealing and combat can be made more lucrative, but also that these skills do not have a major impact on the PvE and PvP balancing of the game. It is also recognized that not every player wants to be a thief and sneak and steal through the game world.
Players who aren’t interested can still have fun with the storyline of the DLC. As a reward, you can look forward to an assistant that you can summon. The entire group can then interact with this.

The Dark Brotherhood and the Continuation of the Main Story
Furthermore, it has been decided not to offer a respec with every DLC. This would mean having to completely reskill the character each time. However, there are considerations to offer a respec for individual skills in the future, rather than the entire character.
Additionally, the Thieves Guild has nothing to do with the Dark Brotherhood, although the skills of the Dark Brotherhood also affect the game’s legal system. As a member of the Dark Brotherhood, you won’t sneak and steal, but sneak and kill.
A small insight into the continuation of the main story of The Elder Scrolls Online was also given. They see the end as relatively complete, which is why they want to take their time to tell smaller stories before they begin to expand the main story and resolve any loose ends.

In The Division, there are increasing reports that agents are not receiving their promised items. These should be available from the reward dealer.
Since yesterday, numerous agents have been roaming the post-apocalyptic New York of The Division. Many want to collect their pre-order bonus and unlocked items from the reward dealer. However, there appear to be issues. In social networks and the reddit forum, agents complain that they are not receiving their promised items. This includes the pre-order bonus and items that are received for participation in the alpha and beta testing phases as rewards. To find out which items are involved, you can refer to this article.
The problem seems to occur to varying degrees: While some do not receive any Ubisoft rewards from the reward dealer, others report that they only receive parts of their rewards. According to a reddit user’s statement, one should visit the reward dealer again at a later time. Some players received the rewards only after a while. However, this is not confirmed.
The unlocking of items occurs in two steps: First, you must unlock the rewards in the Ubisoft Club. Here, there are free rewards as well as items that you can purchase with Uplay points. We have summarized which items are available in this article.
To access all these bonuses and unlocked items in the game, you only need to march to the reward dealer and collect them from him. If no issues arise, the items will appear on his sales list.
Do you also have problems with your bonuses and items?

It seems that Bethesda Softworks is already working on Fallout 5 and I believe it will be an online survival game.
Ryan Alosio, voice actor in Fallout 4, revealed on Twitter that Fallout 5 is already in pre-production. This is actually not surprising. Fallout 4 has sold exceptionally well, is very popular, and Bethesda will certainly develop a sequel because of that. It is also completely normal for a team to come together after the release of a game and make plans for a sequel – that’s pre-production. Ideas are gathered, looking at what could work well and once a concept is put together, actual production begins.
So far, this is quite normal. That it has already come out that Bethesda is working on Fallout 5 is a bit early. Additionally, one should always treat statements that do not come directly from the developer with caution. Nevertheless, it seems logical that Bethesda is at least considering Fallout 5.
Will Fallout 5 be an online survival game?
I have my own theory about the game, and I believe it will be an online survival game. With The Elder Scrolls Online already on the market as an MMORPG (even if it claims not to be one). Another online game in the style of TESO is therefore unnecessary, as it would only create competition for itself. However, another online game would still be beneficial for the studio, as online games offer a different customer retention model: Continuous revenue can be generated through an item shop, and online games remain very popular.
Just like the genre of survival games. And here, the Fallout scenario would be ideal. The game could revolve around: As a survivor, you try to build, expand and defend a base together with other players. To get the necessary resources, you scour the post-apocalyptic desert and ruined cities. There, you engage in battles with other players and mutants. A hint at such gameplay can even be found in Fallout 4. The building mode, through which you create and expand settlements, could have been a kind of field test. The feedback from this will then be collected for Fallout Online.
The environments are believable and coherent, looking good.
This is of course all just speculation. And yet, I believe I am not too far off. Who knows, maybe Bethesda will announce something like this at E3. Because the company is preparing a presentation for the game fair. Bethesda usually only does that when they truly have something new to show. Maybe that will be Fallout Online…

In the game Grand Theft Auto V by Rockstar Games, players must be particularly careful in online mode.
Massive satellite dishes spawn in players’ garages, pedestrians get glued to the heads of their characters, or they explode spontaneously and die. These are scenarios that players of Grand Theft Auto 5 Online have likely experienced through various hackers. In recent weeks, it seemed that the problem with hackers and modders in GTA 5 Online had calmed down a bit. However, there are now new hacks, and they are much worse.
Many countermeasures have already been attempted
The war that developer Rockstar is waging against these hackers has existed since the game’s release. Rockstar has already made various attempts to combat hackers and modders. This included “covertly monitoring player statistics, disabling all modifications, and editing game files with nonsensical code to slow down hackers.
The last system didn’t work quite as the developers had envisioned, as it significantly degraded the game’s performance. Therefore, the “covert monitoring of player statistics” has now been greatly improved so that it can detect anything unusual. It tracks the character’s location, where other players are in relation to their character, how much money they have, what they spend that money on, what missions they are playing, how they interact with other players, and much more. Sounds pretty secure, right?
Unfortunately, this system also has its backdoors, and it is possible for hackers to steal your money now.
Stealing money and tagging players as “unsportsmanlike”
With a new hack, players who use this hack can commit “insurance fraud.” They destroy their own vehicles, but other players on the same server have to pay for these damaged cars. The system thinks at that moment that they have destroyed a teammate’s personal vehicle. In addition to the damage that they must cover, they will also be marked as an “unsportsmanlike player” in the system. This means that in the future, they will end up on servers with players who are also considered unsportsmanlike.
As far as is known, this hack currently exists only on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5.
This video shows the damage that players suffer due to this hack. So make sure to be careful when you are online in GTA 5.

In Tom Clancy’s The Division, data miners have found hints about the level system. This system may be familiar to Destiny players.
The maximum level in The Division is 30. Your agents cannot reach a higher level initially. However, this is not the end, as data miners have now discovered: Starting from player level 30, it is important to increase the gear score.
You can view this score in your profile. It is also displayed for players at the maximum level next to their health bar.
This information comes from data miners who shared their findings about the level system with the community. Just yesterday, we reported on clever data miners who discovered the number of missions and weapons in the game data.
This is what the level system in The Division is supposed to look like
First, you need to bring your level up to the maximum of 30; then, the gear score becomes crucial. Data miners have inferred this from the following lines they found in the game data. We translate them into English:
“Compare the gear scores of the most powerful items in the game to find out which are the best. Increase your average gear score so that you have chances in high-end content and can showcase your skills in the Dark Zone.”
“Every ‘non-vanity equipment piece’ that can be found when you are at level 30 has a gear score value. The higher the gear score of the item, the stronger the item.”
“You can view your agent’s total gear score in the main menu next to your player level. The gear score indicates your agent’s progress.”
“You can recognize the gear score of other agents next to their health bar.”
“By upgrading your equipment and thereby increasing your overall gear score, your agent gains access to the most dangerous high-end challenges. Your average gear score can be found in the main menu and is visible to other players. This is the average value of all equipped equipment pieces.”
Destiny players among you should find such a system familiar. Because the level of your Guardian (max. 40) and the light level (max. 320) essentially work in the same way. In Destiny, your light level also determines whether you can start the most difficult challenges, which ultimately offer the best loot.
However, it is still unclear to what extent the value in The Division actually affects the gaming experience. In most games, a “gear score” is just an abstract indicator. In Destiny, however, it has a real impact on gameplay, determining how much damage you inflict on higher-level opponents. This remains to be seen in The Division until players reach level 30 and report on it.
At this point, a reminder that this information is not official. However, the information that the data miners have obtained seems quite likely.
The date for the open beta of Overwatch is set. But what about the Early Access? We have all the details.
Pre-order customers get extra time
After a leak yesterday revealed the release date for Overwatch, Blizzard quickly followed up and confirmed it. Accordingly, the hero shooter Overwatch will be released on May 24, 2016.
The date for the open beta has also been mentioned. From May 5 to May 9, all interested players can try Overwatch completely for free. There will be no restrictions in the beta, all heroes, maps, and game modes will be freely accessible during this time.

Anyone who decides to pre-order Overwatch by April 29 will even receive a little extra benefit. All pre-order customers will receive “Early Access” to the open beta on May 3 and 4, which only pre-order customers can participate in – along with a friend. That’s right, anyone who buys Overwatch in advance will receive two keys for the beta, one for themselves and one for a friend. According to Jeff Kaplan “Overwatch is most fun when played with friends” and that’s exactly what they want to convince players of during the beta.
On May 3 and 4, the “Open Beta” will essentially be “exclusive”, after which it will be open for everyone. The beta will take place on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, players on different platforms cannot play against or with each other.
Furthermore, all progress from the Open Beta and “Early Access Open Beta” will not be transferred to the live version of the game. Earned skins, reward boxes, statistics, and other cosmetics will be deleted again before release.
However, there is a small negative news for console players. For Xbox One players, an Xbox Live Gold membership is required, both for the beta and the published game. For PS4, no PlayStation Plus is required for the beta, but it is necessary for the published version.
Developers RiotGames surprises the League of Legends players with the new “Game Mode Rotation”.
In a surprising move, the developers of League of Legends announced yesterday evening that two years after the first special game mode, a Game Mode Rotation will be implemented in the game, designed to attract players each weekend with various game modes. This includes familiar modes such as U.R.F. (Ultra Rapid Fire) mode and new game modes that have not been seen before.
Game Mode Rotation combined with Championship Points & LoL Hextech Workshop
In the new Game Mode Rotation of League of Legends, players still earn Championship Points for the hero they played after each game. It doesn’t matter whether you are playing the Legend of the Porokönig or the One-for-All game mode. And the best part is: By earning Championship Points and thus also “ratings”, you can earn Hextech loot chests in arranged games through an S-rating, once the Hextech Workshop System is implemented in the game.
Hearthstone players will likely compare this mode quickly to the Tavern Brawl, where a different game mode is unlocked for a few days once a week. There, you can earn card packs, but only once in the respective Tavern Brawl.
When will all this come to League of Legends?
Unfortunately, there is still no exact time set for when the rotating queue will be incorporated alongside ARAM and the classic queue. The news explicitly states that U.R.F. will not be returning on April 1st. The developers cannot yet present the full range of game modes at this time; however, the Ultra Rapid Fire mode is expected to be available at least twice in 2016.
A schedule for the other game modes will be published in advance as soon as it is complete. With the announcement of these game modes in LoL, the aim was to counter the speculation already surrounding this year’s URF event.
So stretch your neck and train your forehead so you can soon roll your head across the keyboard without suffering permanent damage. Which mode in League of Legends are you most looking forward to?

New graphics card drivers from Nvidia are out, designed specifically for The Division. However, they are causing issues.
Last night, new Nvidia drivers went live. As a diligent and respectable PC gamer, I installed them immediately, hoping they would be optimized for The Division as promised.
After that, nothing worked. Graphics card error, Blue Screen, had to restart and perform system recovery.
As reported by vg247, I am not the only one experiencing these problems. Currently, it is unclear what is causing them. It could be that the issues mainly affect players who use multiple monitors or players who upgraded their Windows version to Win10 instead of performing a “clean” installation. Naturally, I fall into both target groups. The driver team at Nvidia is currently investigating the matter.
Nvidia advises against using the express installation, suggesting instead “Custom -> Clean Install Installation.” Vg247 and I also recommend: Keep your drivers for now. A Blue Screen is not fun.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , a new week with Raid challenge and Nightfall strike begins on Tuesday, March 8th.
A new week in Destiny starts today. The only date we have for the foreseeable future is Thursday evening. There is supposed to be a stream showcasing the work of the audio team on Destiny. Other than that, the current information is that they are working on presenting the Spring Update for Destiny through a series of streams, but there is no schedule for that yet. They want to wait until everything is finalized, it is said.
Let’s get to the current week.
The Nightfall strike on March 8th is S.A.B.E.R.
The Saber strike is on the agenda this week. It has one of the toughest starting sequences.
Modifiers are:
Fresh Troops – Some enemy troops have been reinforced
Match Game – You should use a corresponding weapon type for the enemy shields.
Airborne – Guardians deal more damage while in the air
You can exchange these items with the factions for reputation
Eris Morn, the good one, wants Worm Spore.
The Future War Cult demands Ghost Flowers from its followers.
The Dead Orbit wants Worm Spore.
The New Monarchy is interested in Relic Iron.
Raid challenge this week is Oryx
In the week starting March 8th, Oryx is the Challenge Mode in the King’s Fall raid. How to defeat him so that he drops bonus loot like one of the famous loot geysers of the Islands, you can read in this article.
By the way: Before you book a trip to Iceland, plain water comes out of the geysers. Contrary to popular belief, Iceland is not the home of the Gjallarhorn. They mainly have ponies there.
The T3 boss in Oryx’s courtyard is Thalnok
The Tier-3 boss in Oryx’s courtyard is Thalnok, the fanatic of Crota.
Are there videos, guides, and tips?
But oh yes, there are. We will be adding videos of the challenges and the Guardians facing them to this article throughout the day.
This is how you destroy Thalnok’s hopes of ever becoming Oryx’s adoptive son.

The new game mode “Standard” is coming to Hearthstone. We’ll tell you 5 things you should do beforehand.
Save money and nerves before the Hearthstone expansion
In a few days, Blizzard will make a “big announcement” for Hearthstone and it is an open secret that this will be about the next expansion and a date for the “Standard” game mode. This will change a lot about the card game, which is why players should act wisely now to save time and nerves and avoid getting upset about certain changes later.
On hearthpwn, 5 steps have been compiled that all active players should take to prepare optimally for the switch of the game mode. We have translated the list for you and added explanatory notes.
1. Buy GvG packs
The GvG packs will soon disappear from the shop. So this is your last chance!
If you want to play in the upcoming “Wild” mode, where all cards are allowed, you should strike now and buy some GvG packs if you’re still missing certain cards. This set is soon going to disappear from the shop and will likely not return. Alternatively, the needed cards can still be crafted using Arcane Dust (even afterwards); however, depending on the type and rarity of the card, this is much more expensive than stocking up on cards now.
2. Buy at least one wing from “Naxxramas”
Just like the GvG packs, Naxxramas will also disappear from the game’s shop. However, there is a small exception! If players have already purchased one wing of the adventure – whether with gold or real money – they can purchase the other wings afterwards. Therefore, it’s worth buying at least the first wing so that you can still obtain the others at a later point.
The cards can be obtained from the bosses as usual, but they can also be crafted using dust. Essentially, it’s only about the single-player experience that you’re missing out on – and probably some legendary cards for the “Wild” mode.
3. Craft Murlocs!
The card “Old Murk-Eye”, a legendary Murloc, is currently given as a “gift” if you own all other Murlocs from the classic set. This will change with the introduction of the new game mode; after that, Old Murk-Eye will only be craftable with Arcane Dust. If you want to secure him at a discounted price, simply craft the following 4 Murlocs using a total of 700 Arcane Dust:
Deepsea Oracle
Deepsea Seer
Murloc Tidecaller
Murloc Raider
Later, crafting Old Murk-Eye will cost 1600 dust – so you should act quickly.
4. Farm gold!
If you farm gold now, you’ll have a clear advantage later and save real Euros.
The advice is actually easy to understand, but it ensures that you consistently complete your daily missions. It’s enough to do this every 3 days. Substitute the “small” quests that only bring in 40 gold with better ones; with a bit of luck, you’ll get a more profitable one. In the past, an expansion has always followed shortly after the announcement. If you start collecting now, you can afford plenty of cards (or arena matches) once the new cards go live. This saves real Euros.
5. Don’t disenchant anything!
If you have extra cards, save them at all costs! Blizzard has announced that numerous cards will be revised, which will likely lead to them being able to be disenchanted for an increased amount of Arcane Dust. If you keep your fingers still now, you could build up a substantial supply of dust, which will give you a good head start in the next expansion.

In The Division players on PC and Playstation 4 will have to wait thirty days longer for the first 2 DLCs.
It has long been rumored, and in an advertising campaign from Gamespot it also appeared: Xbox One players will receive fresh content first. In The Division, the release dates of the new DLCs apply only to players on Xbox One.
Everyone else can mentally add a month. Because the content will be accessible to Xbox One players exclusively for 30 days
Underground is coming for Xbox One players in June, for everyone else probably in July.
Survvival is expected to arrive in summer. Once a date is set, PC and PS4 players will have to add a month.
These two DLCs will definitely be reserved solely for Xbox One players for 30 days.
Exclusivity does not apply to updates and 3rd DLC
However: The two free patches and the third DLC, “The Last Stand,” which is set to be released in winter, will be available for all platforms simultaneously.

In Landmark, the way land is claimed and new players dive into the world is drastically changing.
More Land, Less Claims
A major update is upcoming for Landmark, which will primarily affect the size of claimed areas. In a post on the official forum, the developer “Domino” commented on the upcoming changes. The size of the “Claims”, the areas that can be built on, is fundamentally changing. Instead of claiming many small areas and merging them into one large one as before, there will now be a standardized size for all Claims, which is about 16 times the size of the previous areas.
New players will start on a so-called “Pioneer Island” with the update, which is particularly flat, has no surface caves, and is therefore excellent for initial attempts as a builder. Anyone who cannot make use of this island can immediately move on and seek out another patch of land.
Extensive changes are also being made to the various levels of caves. Previously, resources were available on the surface and more in deeper layers of the earth – there were a total of 5 levels of caves, all with different resources. These levels are being phased out; instead, everything below the surface is considered “Subterranean” and can contain all the resources from the previous caves.
No specific date for the patch has been announced yet, but it has been stated that it “definitely will not come in the first half of March.” Players still have some time to prepare and bid farewell to their old “Claims” – as they will be reset upon the release of the new patch.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Bungie has crowned videos from the community. This time, there are many hits and a few misses.
For the video of the week, Bungie made a video in which a Guardian suddenly falls through a time rift during the “Vault of Glass” times and emerges in “King of the Taken.” With music segments.

The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online is currently in beta but will be released in the third quarter of this year.
The developers are using the time before the game’s release to test many game systems, gather feedback, and implement new systems. They are currently working on a major update called “Cador.” In an initial video blog, the developers discuss this upcoming update and the player numbers of the beta version.
Cador is coming!
While instances for the dungeons have already been introduced, designed to provide players with a truly exciting gaming experience, with Cador, further innovations for the dungeons will come. Larger dungeons are intended to be less frustrating when one stays in them for a longer time. Equipment in the game wears down and could not be repaired in dungeons until now, but this will change with Cador. This way, everyone can enjoy the best possible experience in the dungeons without worrying about having to bring spare weapons.
The new death mechanism in the game
Additionally, the death mechanism in the game will be revised. A knockdown will be introduced. This means that if you are defeated in both PvP and PvE, you will initially fall to the ground. Your enemy then has the opportunity to kill you. As long as you are just lying on the ground, your allies can try to rescue you by jumping in to prevent the fatal blow.
The developers are currently not thinking about the player numbers of the beta version of Albion Online. These are currently very stable and are completely sufficient. It is assumed that after the next wipe, more players will be gained. But the wipe will be a while coming.

The PS4 version of World of Tanks is getting a major update, which adds numerous German and Soviet tanks to the game.
The German Master Gunners
In a few days, a big update is coming for the PlayStation 4 version of the tank MMO “World of Tanks”. The main attraction is likely to be a new German and Soviet line of tanks, as well as a total of 3 new battlefields where tank drivers around the world can showcase who has the biggest gun.
A total of 18 new tanks will be added to the game, 9 of which are from German production, the other half from the Soviets.
Among the “more well-known” models are the Leopard prototypes. Generally, German tanks are to be considered as “glass cannons”, meaning they deal high damage and are extremely agile, but have almost no armor.
Soviet tanks like the T-60 or Object 430, on the other hand, are true all-rounders that can impress with solid performance in all areas. This allows them to adapt to almost any situation and turn around a seemingly lost battle.
In addition to the new tanks, there are also a total of 3 new maps, which could hardly be more different. One takes you to the green land of the Dragon Ridge, to the icy snow paths of Sewerogorsk, or to the cool valleys of the tundra – the new maps should provide even more variety.
Many gamers have already pre-ordered or purchased Tom Clancy’s The Division digitally. For those who want to buy The Division now, we provide an overview of what the game currently costs in major electronics retail chains.
Have you caught the The Division fever and are now wondering where to find the game at the best price? We show you an overview of the official prices offered by Media Markt, Saturn, GameStop, and the online retailer Amazon for the game.
Gamestop also offers the option for The Division, where you can trade in two of your games and get The Division (Standard Edition) for 9.99 Euros. The list of games you can trade in can be found here at Gamestop.
The official release is on March 8. However, it can now be assumed that all the stores listed here are already selling The Division to customers. There are already many discs in circulation, which is why even your trusted retailers may be releasing the discs. Just ask and kindly point out if necessary that the release date has already been broken by many electronics retailers.
In Destiny, the strength of your guardians is influenced not only by weapons but also by armor. In this article, we want to take a look at the helmet “The Taikonaut.” Is it useful in PvE and PvP?
The Taikonaut is an exotic helmet for Titans, available since the Taken King expansion. We want to take a look at what makes this helmet special.
Where can you obtain the helmet “The Taikonaut”?
There are three ways to obtain the Titan helmet:
King’s Fall Raid: In the raid where you can take down Oryx, this exotic item can be found.
Nightfall Strike: At the end of the Nightfall, there is a chance that you may rejoice over the Taikonaut.
Xûr: Finally, it may also happen that our friendly Agent of the Nine has the helmet in stock.
Furthermore, you need the Taken King expansion for the Taikonaut to drop for you.
What makes “The Taikonaut” special in Destiny?
If you are having trouble hitting fast enemies with your rocket launcher, The Taikonaut can help you. Because it comes with these perks:
Aerial Traffic Control: This gives all your rocket launchers tracking. Additionally, thanks to this perk, heavy ammo drops are increased and the radar remains visible while aiming with heavy weapons. This perk greatly enhances your heavy weapons, especially the rocket launchers.
Heavy Lifting: When you kill minions of the darkness with heavy weapons, bonus Super energy is guaranteed.
A random perk from: Whisper of the Worm (increased Super energy when minions of the darkness are defeated), From the Ashes (bonus Super energy after grenade hits) and Practically Gifted (eliminating minions of the darkness with melee kills grants bonus Super energy).
Another random perk. Here the choices are: Innervation (bonus grenade energy when picking up orbs), Empowerment (orbs grant bonus melee energy), Better Already (shields regenerate instantly upon picking up an orb) and Infusion (light orbs restore health).
Furthermore, there are selectable perks that increase your intellect, strength, or discipline.
Basically, the idea behind this helmet is that your heavy weapons are upgraded, especially the rocket launchers. Strong tracking rocket launchers have been a rarity since the Taken King expansion. For example, theTruth can be cited, which we discussed in this article.The Taikonaut thus enhances rocket launchers that do not have tracking functionality. Utilize these synergy effects! The exotic Dragon’s Breath can, for example, benefit from this helmet. So if you like to use tracking rockets, this helmet greatly expands your options. If you already possess a strong tracking rocket launcher, this helmet might not be your first choice.
What can The Taikonaut do in PvE and PvP?
In PvE, the Titan helmet brings numerous advantages: Besides all the benefits that the perk Aerial Traffic Control provides, the Heavy Lifting perk is also interesting here. Because the minions of the darkness that you need to kill for bonus Super energy are only present in PvE.
In PvP, Heavy Lifting does not come into play. However, it is particularly valuable in the Crucible that the radar remains active when using heavy weapons. This applies not only to rocket launchers but also to machine guns. Even if you don’t want to run around with this helmet permanently, you can quickly switch to the Taikonaut when heavy ammo is delivered. This may give you crucial advantages.

By the way: The term “Taikonaut” stands for a Chinese astronaut and is equivalent in meaning to astronaut (term for NASA astronauts) or cosmonaut (term for astronauts of the Russian space agency). Therefore, the description of the helmet is quite fitting:
The helmets worn by the first Chinese lunar colonists of the Golden Age.
What do you think of this helmet for Titans? Do you use it?
In Allods Online, the biggest changes since the release are being made. There are massive changes for each class.
More than just a single playstyle with “Aspects”
In Allods Online, a big update is coming in the next few days. The Patch 7.0 named “New Order” lives up to its name and significantly revamps the MMORPG. The biggest changes are in the area of the various classes. Until now, the different classes could almost always effectively perform only a single role, resulting in rigid labels like “Tank”, “Healer”, and “Damage Dealer”, without ever being able to break out of that role.
For this reason, the developers are now introducing Aspects. Aspects provide players with new ways to customize their character. They are essentially “stances” that enhance certain abilities of the character and increase their effects. Not every class will have access to all Aspects, but there will be at least 2-3 for everyone. And this is what they look like:
Aspect of Assault: Character damage increases by up to 30%.
Aspect of Defense: Character health increases by up to 50% and generated threat by up to 100%.
Aspect of Healing: Increases healing done by up to 50%.
Aspect of Suppression: Control effects become instant casts. The duration of control effects is increased by up to 200%.
Aspect of Support: The duration of support effects is increased by up to 200% and their effectiveness by up to 45%.
Overall, the changes and new features are so extensive that they could not be covered in a single blog post, as it would have been overwhelmingly long. Further information about update 7.0 “New Order” will follow in the coming days.

The launch of The Division is now imminent. The last preparations are being made. We are looking at how you are preparing.
Soon all agents will be able to dive into the post-apocalypse of New York! Here we want to take a look at what preparations you have made to successfully kick off your agent journey in The Division. In our last “Mein-MMO asks“, we wanted to know just that from you. And you answered diligently.
Here preparations are being made meticulously
Many of you, such as m4st3rchi3f, have used the preload so that they can start right away at launch and do not have to download huge amounts of gigabytes first. Others have even ordered the Sleeper Agent Edition, like Raggi316. Also, BFCler1988 pre-ordered this edition weeks ago. He is a “fan of collector’s editions,” so the price did not deter him.
So, now that the game is ordered, what other measures are you taking? Der Ralle sees himself as “the blindest, hoof-trotting Division fan horse there is around”, but he stands by it. After work, he will quickly go home today, toss the disc into his Xbox, start the Day One patch, and enjoy dinner with his three women during the loading time. Then he sends his “two princesses” to bed, hands the “queen” a book, and then he has free reign for The Division.
Also Crow_11111 has already completed the spring cleaning in wise anticipation that the apartment will likely be neglected in the coming weeks. Over the weekend, he distracted himself with the Uncharted beta, and today he is stocking up on coffee, sandwiches, snacks, and pizza. He is doing well!
Caldrus82 took a vacation specifically for a home renovation. As luck would have it, the release of The Division is also during this vacation. Hopefully, the apartment does not suffer because of it!
Thorn Von Wolfenstein also took time off: three days, from today until Wednesday. Until then, he will “cut off all social contacts in real life”. His girlfriend already knows and lets him “chill until Wednesday”. Such an understanding girlfriend is something every man wishes for! Now he can roam through New York with his “virtual buddies”.
ratpaak took a week off straight away. He thanks his wife for taking care of the two kids. Now he is getting “pizza and energy drinks and then off we go!”.
Nookiezilla will come home from work on Tuesday at 1:30 PM, load the patch, “shower, quickly eat something, have a smoke, grab a cup of coffee and an energy drink”, and then off goes his journey. The journey of our reader mee will begin on Tuesday, immediately after he falls out of bed.
Ace Ffm compares his anticipation to that of a 12-year-old just before Christmas. Even though he is already an adult now, he still feels such emotions. Therefore, he will also try to dive into the game as early as possible; he “is definitely looking forward to it immensely.”
These users are taking it easy
In our community, there are also voices that are considerably more cautious when it comes to the launch of The Division. For example, Connor Kenway will simply pop the game in and start playing. echterman will not prepare for The Division either, especially since he will not have the game at release. But he does not typically prepare much for such things anyway. He just sits down, turns on the game, and that’s it. It is not a problem to get up for coffee.
SP1ELER01 will chill in front of the console today without any stress, join his buddies in the party, and watch their streams. He himself has not yet felt the spark. krieglich is also waiting to see before getting The Division. He has not had good experiences with launches of Ubisoft titles so far.

So, those were some statements from our readers that they left in the comments. We read everything! Unfortunately, not everyone could be included in this article – that would have exceeded the scope by far.
Thank you for all your diligent contributions! We will see you on the streets of New York, agents.
In Star Citizen, a new alpha version is live, bringing the massive project one step forward.
Alpha 2.2 has been on the test server for a while and is now on the live servers. There isn’t a major highlight. The development of the massive project is progressing in small but important steps.
Mainly, Alpha 2.2 includes a lot of bug fixes and balance changes – to really understand most of the changes, one has to be deeply involved in the subject. Those who want can check the patch notes here.
Among the “flagships” of Star Citizen, the ships, the Sabre is now flyable and the Xi’An Scout is in the hangar.
