In the forum of Black Desert, the developers answered numerous questions from fans. Will there be male versions of all classes? Will there be more races?
Genderlock remains, new races may come
In the official Black Desert Forum, numerous fan questions regarding the game, which will be released soon, have been answered. In the thread, some users complain that mainly already known statements were repeated, but the justifications are often very detailed, contributing to the understanding of the respective situation. We have extracted and translated the most exciting answers and explanations for you.
Will there be male counterparts for Ranger, Sorceress, Valkyrie, and Tamer?
Stays firmly in female hands – the Ranger.
Currently, there are no concrete plans to design male counterparts for the purely female classes. The workload for such an implementation would be almost as great as developing a completely new class – something like that would be significantly more likely. However, they do not want to completely rule out the possibility – this also depends on how player interest develops.
Will there be additional races to choose from?
The situation is different when it comes to choosing races. The developers are already planning to add new races to the game. However, it must be realized that the most probable addition is a race that already exists in the game. The developers are currently considering the introduction of a Shai race as a playable character, but a final decision has not yet been made internally.
The developers are considering a new, playable Shai race.
More land area and region-dependent items
It is also worth mentioning that the developers of Black Desert want to add many new areas to the game, which are currently covered by fog on the map, especially the south of Calpheon, Mediah, and parts of Valencia. These zones are already in development but are not just intended to expand the game with new creatures and loot, but also to change the way of playing. For the Valencia III update, they want to focus on water bodies and highlight trade via shipping routes or resource gathering in wet areas.
The developers at Daum have definitely recognized that different regions (Korea, EU, US) have different preferences when playing, which is why the PvP system will differ slightly from that in Korea. The developers promise that if players in America or Europe want specific content, they should provide corresponding feedback – it would definitely be feasible.
Mobile app to manage workers
One question wanted to find out whether a mobile app is being developed for the future, with which you can monitor and manage the storage or the workers. The developers are open to such requests but want to ensure that players of Black Desert in all regions are satisfied first. “We do not believe that Black Desert is perfect yet.” Therefore, such a feature is unlikely to be expected in the near future.
Legendary quest lines – Will they come?
They have also commented on the desire for particularly challenging and rewarding quest lines, which are often called “legendary” quest lines in other games. The developers are clearly against such tasks because they do not want to see players feeling compelled to complete a certain quest to keep up with other players. Moreover, legendary quest lines are only truly legendary for a very short moment: until someone has designed a guide for them.
Quests in Black Desert are meant to expand the game and provide incentives to explore the vast areas without restricting players too much. However, they do not exclude the possibility that “difficult” quests could be added – although there is no concrete information about the release yet.
A new trailer has surfaced for Tom Clancy’s The Division showcasing footage at 60 frames per second. It is definitely worth watching.
Ubisoft and Massive have released a trailer that aims to demonstrate the graphical capabilities of The Division. This features selected gameplay scenes at 60 FPS, captured on PC. It is noted that the best visual quality is achieved with the latest generation of devices and browsers.

The patch notes for the new patch 6.4 for League of Legends are ready. We summarize the most important changes to the champs of LoL.
Among other things, as already announced, the Dominion game mode has been removed from the game. Also, the Zz’Rot Portal, which was deactivated during patch 6.3 due to a bug, is now active again. But don’t worry: Udyr has received a hit from the nerf hammer.
Udyr and other movement speed junglers in League of Legends nerfed
Many players were really annoyed in patch 6.3 that junglers simply bought items that provided high movement speed and became “unstoppable” in LoL. Udyr, in particular, was often noted in this context and was even banned in many games. Now Udyr’s turtle stance (W) shield and Udyr’s phoenix stance (R) damage have been nerfed. Also, typical items like boots of swiftness and the rune echo enchantment on the jungler item have been weakened in speed bonus.
It has also been recognized that the buffs/changes for Xin Zhao in the last patch were a bit too strong, and so the scaling of ability power and attack speed bonus of his battle cry (W) have been reduced.
Adjustments for marksmen: Kog’Maw, Ezreal, and Lucian down – Cait, Jhin, Ashe, and Sivir up
Additionally, 3 of the currently most popular marksmen were nerfed in this patch. The base attack speed of Kog’Maw has been reduced (who would have thought?!), so that he might need one more item before he melts opponents. The range of Lucian’s culling (R) has been reduced so that he can no longer comfortably spread his damage from the second row, but must position himself a bit closer to the enemy.
For Ezreal, the cooldown of his ability arcane barrage (R) has been significantly increased. Because let’s be honest, the yellow giant banana was really very frequently on the map.
Caitlyn received a buff with this patch, as the cooldown of her caliber 90 net (E) has been reduced and the damage of her headshots (passive), when triggered by a yordle trap (W), is now calculated based on a scaling base value instead of proportionally.
Jhin received minor buffs to his base stats shortly after his release, but has now been adjusted so that his deadly flourish (W) and his curtain call (R) count as single-target attacks against champions. This allows for more synergy with the touch of deathfire (mastery).
Sivir’s ricochet (W) can now critically hit targets. This is a very strong buff for Sivir that can change the outcome of a team fight entirely. Additionally, Ashe can rejoice a bit in this patch 6.4. Her ranger focus (Q) is now active for 5 seconds instead of 4. Furthermore, she no longer completely loses her focus increases after not attacking for 4 seconds; instead, these increases decrease by 1 every 4 seconds.
The top lane is not spared from the nerf hammer either
Gankplank, Fiora, and Malphite, who were particularly popular in patch 6.3, have been adjusted in the game.
Those who followed the game TSM vs. Cloud 9 will have seen what a powerhouse Gankplank can become. He now receives less gold from his parrrlay (Q) and can now only place a maximum of 3 barrels (E) at once on each level, which is no longer modified by his cannon barrage (R).
For Fiora, the cooldown of her counter ability (W) has been increased in the early game, and blade dance (E) has been changed so that the cooldown now does not start immediately upon use, but only after the second hit. Malphite now has less base health regeneration and the damage of his ground slam (E) has been reduced.
Change to the mastery Bloodlust of the Warlord – Greetings to all Olaf fans in LoL
This mastery previously had little to do with Olaf, as it referred to critical hits against champions. However, this key mastery has now been changed to the point where it has become almost a “must” for Olaf. The notes now state (in addition to the healing and attack speed on critical hits) that attacks against champions now provide up to 20% lifesteal, depending on how much health the own champion is missing. This effect is halved against minions.
For those who don’t know: Olaf’s passive ability grants him 1% attack speed bonus for every 1% of lost health. The strong synergy of the mastery with his passive ability is therefore quite evident.
Champion select – Finally, you can see your own champions
One point that many players in League of Legends (rightly!) complained about was that during other players selecting their champions, their own champion grid was not accessible. That has now changed, and the champion grid is accessible at all times during champion select. Furthermore, you can now change your champion wish at any time, and opponents can no longer see it when it is your turn. Oh, and very importantly: The game now remembers which skin you played last and sets it as default for the next game!
Of course, these were not all the points of the patch notes for League of Legends patch 6.4. You can read the entire package on the official LoL website. Here are the patch notes.
What do you think of the changes? Which champion has been hit too hard or too soft?

In Destiny you can join multiple factions. As you gain their favor, there are stylish rewards. With these tips, you can increase your reputation a bit faster.
Our friend Nexxoss Gaming explains in a new video to the Destiny community how Guardians can properly level up their faction reputation with Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and the Future War Cult. We summarize the key information.
What you should know in advance:
First, you choose a faction by heading to a representative in the Tower. Here you have the choice between New Monarchy, Dead Orbit, and Future War Cult.
You always earn the respective faction reputation by gaining Vanguard and Crucible reputation. A quick way to do this is by completing bounties.
Once you reach a certain reputation rank, you can acquire faction-specific weapons and gear. Even at rank 1, cool items await your pickup.
As most already know, class items can also lead to reputation boosts, as can be seen in the following image:
So far, so good. Nothing particularly surprising yet. But now Nexxoss comes along and explains some “secret ways” to make leveling up reputation more efficient. This should be done with Glimmer, Legendary Marks, Strange Coins, Light Particles, and all sorts of materials.

In the video, Nexxoss initially explains through the example of the New Monarchy, how you can increase your standing with this faction through material exchange. Right above the rewards that the faction offers, there is the tab “Material Exchange”. In the first example, a “Wormspore donation” allows you to increase your reputation by donating “Wormspores to replenish the group reserves”. The New Monarchy wants to see 25 Wormspores for this.
You can farm Wormspores quite easily, perhaps even unconsciously. Some Ghost Shells have the property that when looting engrams on the Dreadnaught, you have a chance for more Wormspores. This is called the “Wormspore Extractor”.
Especially in Raids or Strikes, you can efficiently gather this green stuff. The rune challenges also allow engrams (and Wormspores) to drop frequently. This tip can be applied to all other materials.
However, this doesn’t give a lot of reputation, specifically only +50. Each week, the materials that factions require change – the latest information can be found on our website, Mein MMO, in our article about the weekly reset on Tuesday.
So if you currently have a shortage of Wormspores but an abundance of spin metal, your chance will come.
Earn Reputation with Legendary Marks
At the Vanguard Quartermaster, you can purchase all the materials your heart desires with Legendary Marks – or rather, your faction. 20 of them cost 10 Legendary Marks each. If you want to convert these marks into reputation, first buy the required materials and donate them to the faction to raise your standing.
Earn Reputation with Heavy Ammo in Destiny
If you have plenty of Strange Coins and the next Xur visit is imminent, then stock up on Heavy Ammo Syntheses! Your faction can never have enough of those. Each synthesis yields +25 reputation in the “Heavy Ammo Donation”. That’s not a lot, but better than nothing if you want to level up quickly. By the way, Xur offers three syntheses for one Strange Coin.
According to Nexxoss, the Heavy Ammo donation is more worthwhile than donating Special Ammo, “simply based on the costs”. For Special Ammo, you have to give up four pieces to gain standing.
By the way, you can find Heavy Ammo at the Gunsmith for Glimmer and from Eris Morn. The latter desires the Black Wax Idol for that. Whatever she plans to do with it…
Variks provides Heavy Ammo if you give him some Glimmer and Ether Seed. In terms of Glimmer, Variks is cheaper than the Gunsmith, but you have to give up some Ether Seed.
Increase Reputation with Glimmer in Destiny
If you have enough weapon parts, you can donate these as well. In this case, it’s worth visiting the Gunsmith first. Because you can acquire weapon parts fairly cheaply from Banshee. According to Nexxoss, this is a very profitable way to increase reputation with Glimmer. Weapon parts are significantly cheaper than, for example, ammo syntheses, which you can also buy from the Gunsmith. However, weapon parts provide more value.
By the way: You can also donate armor pieces to the faction with open arms. You farm these, for example, from the rune challenges, as numerous engrams drop there. Surely there’s at least one armor piece among them.
Increase Reputation with Light Particles
Finally, you still have the option to gain reputation through a “Light Particle donation” during Material Exchange. Here you get a whopping +100 reputation for five Light Particles. That certainly boosts your standing significantly.
With this table, you can keep track
A clever user on reddit put together a clear table from which you can see which method is the most efficient for you, which “currency” you want to farm.
He has converted everything you can use for reputation into a “Glimmer value”. For example: How much is “Ether Seed” worth in Glimmer? Heavy ammo is worth 625 Glimmer. Since you can also buy Heavy Ammo for 250 Glimmer + one Ether Seed, the user concludes that the value of Ether Seed is 375 Glimmer, because: 625 – 250 = 375. He performed similar exchange rates for all other “currencies”.And this is how you read this table: Let’s take Strange Coins as an example. These are listed as the first item in the table. It is indicated next to that you must spend the coins for Heavy Ammo. The Glimmer value of Strange Coins amounts to 1875 according to his calculations. For each coin, you get +75 reputation. To level up, you need 2500 reputation, so you need over 33 coins for this.
Now you can find out which method seems most comfortable for you, to generate a high Glimmer value in the shortest amount of time. Options for quickly obtaining Strange Coins (as they have a respectable Glimmer value of 1875!), we have thoroughly discussed in this article.
Ultimately, it can be said: just donate everything you have in surplus to your faction. They will thank you with the coveted reputation. Just browse through the “Material Exchange” to see what you can hand in this week. The term “Material Exchange” is a bit misleading, as not everyone would consider reputation to be material. But that’s just what it’s called.
In the Dark Zone of The Division, your survival is not guaranteed. With these 7 tips, you have the chance to stay alive longer and dominate the PVP area.
James Duggan presents 7 tips in a video from IGN that will help you make the most of your time in the Dark Zone. Because if you rush blindly into the DZ, you rarely come out unscathed. With these tips, you can be among those who dominate the PVP area of The Division.
Tip 1: Go Rogue – if the opportunity arises
Your progress in the Dark Zone is terribly slow if you only kill NPCs. Occasionally, it can be very advisable to take another agent’s loot. You can identify a suitable target by the yellow container it carries on its back, and most importantly: that it is alone. This is the best opportunity to ambush the agent and quickly grab some loot. Of course, this approach also carries dangers – as you will be marked as rogue.
At the extraction points, you will encounter many agents loaded with fresh loot. If you go rogue here, you can loot the most – if you survive. Because usually, the rogue draws the short straw here, as fire is opened on them from many barrels. You must also be aware that you are not the only one waiting for a chance to swipe some fancy items.
Tip 2: Open the fight with a grenade
In the event of a confrontation, it is advantageous to deal significant damage to the enemy before they can fire the first shot. Grenades are excellent for launching the fight with a bang.
In addition to this obvious benefit, many grenades have the effect of preventing your opponents from sprinting away. This stops their likely first reaction: to flee. Furthermore, a well-placed grenade can catch the agent off guard and momentarily make them lose their composure. Use this to your advantage.
Tip 3: Team up
Even though you can stroll through the Dark Zone alone, a lone wolf rarely stands a chance against a group of other agents. Therefore: Team up with others. Grab a friend – or better yet, three – and dominate together in the Dark Zone.
This way, you will not only have more firepower at your disposal, but you can also revive each other. You can further act tactically and decide battles in your favor with a well-crafted strategy.
Tip 4: When in doubt, run
Whether you are currently rogue or being pursued by rogue agents: sometimes fleeing is the best defense. If you face outnumbering enemies or are otherwise unsure whether you will emerge victorious from a situation, thensprint like mad.
On one hand, you will be harder to hit while sprinting and rolling, on the other hand, during your escape, you have the option to heal and regroup. So take your legs and run. This is rarely a bad idea – unless you get hit anyway, outflanked, or run straight into the arms of the next hostile group.
Tip 5: Use shortcuts
If you want to dominate the Dark Zone, it is first important that you know it. You need to know how to get from A to B the quickest or where the next escape route is. The subway tunnels are excellent for this.
Occasionally disappearing underground is very advisable. Especially when you are rogue, you can hide in the underground. Not only does it offer a variety of cover options, but also some of your enemies will not know how to get there. Perfect for waiting out the timer.
Tip 6: Spend the DZ currency
By participating in various activities in the Dark Zone, you earn DZ currency. The rule is: The more you carry with you, the more you can lose. Especially if you are rogue. So if you want to save up for the best weapons from the get-go, this plan can backfire. Better a bird in the hand than a pigeon on the roof!
Therefore, it is advisable initially to invest small savings in fresh equipment and weapons and steadily increase. This way, you can convert your DZ currency into items that you will no longer lose.
Tip 7: Trust no one
This should be the golden rule that you always keep in mind. Just because an agent didn’t take you out during your last encounter doesn’t mean they won’t aim their weapon at you next time you turn your back. If you give other players an easy opportunity to snatch your loot, they will take it. This rule applies especially in these places: the extraction zones.

According to IGN, these are the best tips for dominating the Dark Zone. However, they will not keep you safe from death in this PVP area forever. For there is no guarantee of survival. So just have fun and make the best of your time in the Dark Zone.
At the end of March, the lightly clad ladies of Scarlet Blade will be no more. After numerous issues, the end of the MMORPG has now been announced.
On March 31, it will be the end of the permissiveness
In the MMORPG Scarlet Blade (formerly “Queens Blade”), the lights will finally go out shortly before its 3rd birthday. The game has particularly made headlines due to its distinct permissiveness of the exclusively female heroes. After being unable to regularly deliver content last year due to technical difficulties, the game is now facing its end.
In recent months, there were attempts to roll out a new patch repeatedly. However, an error prevented this several times. The unfortunate developers simply could not fix this problem and now find themselves forced to shut down Scarlet Blade at the end of next month.
Until the servers are shut down on March 31, players will still receive some advantages. The XP gain has been increased by 500%, and all items in the cash shop have been reduced to a cost of 1 AP – they are basically a gift. Those who might be upset now because they spent real money on the game in recent weeks can breathe a sigh of relief. Aeria Games will refund all buyers the currency so that it can be used in other games from the publisher.
Fans can continue playing in Echo of Soul
Interestingly, there is an offer in connection with Echo of Soul: Anyone who had at least one character of level 39 or higher in Scarlet Blade can grab a special veteran pack in Echo of Soul. This starts you directly at level 35 in the game and gives you some special extras.
Because it is probably the first and last time we will report on this: Here’s a little something for the male eye. This is what you missed (Spoiler: It’s not the story):

In WildStar , the number of servers is once again being reduced. This is primarily hoped to bring some benefits to the PvP players.
PvP Currency – now also available in PvE
A big change is coming to Carbine’s MMORPG WildStar: the remaining 4 servers will be shrunk down to 2. The two PvP servers Warhound and Luminai are being retired, and on March 16, all existing characters and guilds will be transferred to Entity(US) and Jabbit(EU). This is expected to lead to a better experience for the remaining PvP players since these two servers in WildStar are almost extinct – the “mass” of players is playing on the PvE mega servers.
Those who do not want to wait until March 16 can already take advantage of a free character transfer to acclimate to the new environment. This is strongly advised, as in the case of duplicate names the rules apply: First come, first served, and active players before inactive ones.
Additional incentives for PvP, especially in the open world, will be offered by rewarding players when they have activated their PvP flag. Regular opponents (at a reasonable level) now also drop Prestige and additional gold upon defeat, which is intended to motivate more players to engage in the dangers of PvP more often.
The PvP is to be revitalized by bringing all players together.
Mein-MMO says: The repeated merging of servers and thus the ultimate reduction of servers to 2 worldwide only further reinforces the grim picture that looms over Carbine’s MMORPG. Whether the additional incentives will be enough to truly motivate players to engage in more PvP is questionable. With the mentioned changes, it could also simply happen that PvP completely falls asleep and players get their rewards solely from PvE – as Prestige can now be farmed without having to deal with “annoying” other players. Is this really the solution to the problem?

According to Gearbox, Battleborn is the largest investment that has been made in a video game so far. Will these expenses pay off?
Battleborn employs 80% of the studio
With the upcoming hero shooter “Battleborn” from the creators of Borderlands, Gearbox has high hopes for the title. In an interview with Polygon, the studio’s CEO, Randy Pitchford, shared just how high the expectations really are.
Since Borderlands 1 and 2 were quite large successes, one can imagine the pressure on Battleborn when it is stated: “We invested more in Battleborn than in Borderlands 1 and 2 combined” and adds, “And we don’t even know if people will be interested in it.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQK7HX2CXE
A significant risk, as they claim that 80% of the 300 people at Gearbox headquarters are working on the title, while the rest take care of maintaining other titles or work on design ideas for future games.
However, the developers knew they were working on something “big” when other game studios developed a similar concept (like Blizzard with Overwatch or HiRez with Paladins). “When other people showed up with similar projects, it motivated us. At first, there’s a bit of competition, and that’s a fun challenge. But beyond that, I mean, wow, these people are really clever, and they think this [genre] has a future. Maybe we’re not so crazy after all. Maybe there really is a customer base for this game.”
Nevertheless, Battleborn claims it can stand out from the crowd. A key unique selling point is definitely the extensive campaign that no other game of this type can offer. This goes hand in hand with the exciting story that is promised: After all, Battleborn takes place on the last fertile planet in the galaxy and is therefore driven by all kinds of alien species. This also beautifully hits Pitchford’s wish, where he says:
“I wanted a first-person shooter where I can have a Jedi knight fighting alongside Master Chief while Gandalf stands by their side.”
Battleborn will be released this coming May simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
For more information about the game and the individual heroes, you can visit our Battleborn news site.

As Zenimax reports, they want to add a pet every time players unlock one of the quarterly paid expansions. This applies retroactively to the Orc DLC “Orsinium.” Anyone who has unlocked Orsinium will receive the achievement “A Gift from Orsinium” and this rather strange Echaletten companion.
Those who unlock the Thieves Guild will receive “The Bounty of Ahab’s Landing” and the nice jackal that is looking at you somewhat disdainfully from the cover image. Hmm, jackals really shouldn’t be that arrogant.
A nice gesture: You can also access the pets even if you haven’t purchased the DLCs but have access to them through ESO Plus.

The early access phase of the MMORPG Project Genom will start this May.
The early access of the MMO Project Genom will not contain all features yet. These will be gradually added. In the first version, you will be able to create an individual character and customize its appearance according to your preferences. You will also get to try out the skills system, which is divided into twelve paths, each with six skills. By improving the skills, you can unlock new character abilities.
Just swap the organs
Project Genom relies on the ability to enhance your character through organs and you can test this system in the early access of the MMO as well. Overall, your organism in the game consists of six systems, each containing different organs. You can enhance these organs through medication and drugs, or you can mutate them. It is also possible to replace the organs with synthetic ones. Depending on your decisions, you will unlock new abilities and can develop your character in different directions.
There will be plenty to do in the early access version
In the early access, you will explore the world together with friends and can already start crafting by gathering various raw materials and processing them into items. The quad bike provides the first opportunity to move faster through the world with a vehicle. You will even encounter the first boss monsters that you should only attack in a well-coordinated group.
Your personal retreat will be a small cabin that you can expand. So, there is already plenty to do in the early access of Project Genom. A specific start date for the version will be announced later, but it is confirmed that it will be in May.

The Free2Play MMORPG Allods Online will receive a new update with patch 7.0 soon.
While there is no release date yet, my.com started introducing the “New Order” update for Allods Online last week. Last year, the Russian MMO on Steam was hoped to attract a new influx of players. They now want to feed that with fresh game content.
In a blog post, they roughly describe the story of the patch: You encounter the Architects and the erupting conflict plunges all worlds into a war.
In another blog post, there is information about the new equipment that players can earn. It is about the mini-chapters and that instead of discarding old equipment, you can elevate it to a new level. Both articles are available in German, and we have linked them in the sources.

Fans of the MMORPG Neverwinter should mark March 15 on their calendars, as on that day the new module “The Maze Engine” will be released, bringing back some older dungeons.
The story of the new module tells of the Maze Engine, a powerful artifact capable of changing all of reality. Baphomet, the Prince of Beasts, seeks to find this machine to construct a new reality in which the city of Neverwinter is destroyed. You will set out together with your friends and famous heroes from the Forgotten Realms to thwart Baphomet’s plan.
Visit new versions of older dungeons
During your adventures, you will also explore older dungeons that you have visited before in the game. This includes Castle Never, which is now infested by Orcus, the Demon Prince of Undeath. He has resurrected all boss enemies and even the fallen heroes within the castle.
The Caves of Karrundax, the hideout of the pirate king, the Cloak Tower, and the Frozen Heart are also among the dungeons you will get to revisit – now in an updated form. New challenges await you there. However, the developers have stated that this time they have paid close attention to allow for significant solo play as well. Your level will also be automatically increased to 70 when you enter these dungeons.
Get heroes by your side!
Decause you can enlist legendary heroes like Drizzt Do’Urden, Minsc, or Makos to your side and experience adventures together with them. In creating the quests, care has been taken to incorporate the heroes as faithfully as possible to their original portrayals. This time, best-selling author R.A. Salvatore will not contribute any adventures, but the other authors are all making an effort to treat his hero Drizzt appropriately.
Your mounts can be customized better and through the new matchmaking system, you will be able to find a suitable group more easily and effectively. By the way, the release date of March 15 applies only to the PC version of The Maze Engine. Neverwinter players on Xbox One will have to wait a little longer.

Now they take a step further and simulate the apocalypse based on ourselves: You are infected with smallpox and go to the hospital. What happens then?
After entering the address, a pretty intense simulation starts to run, and from time to time you still have the choice of where to drag yourself next, but nothing really changes. For me, the world was on the brink of collapse after just 26 days. Can you do it faster? Here you can find Ubisoft’s apocalypse simulator.

In ARK: Survival Evolved, new content has been patched into the PC version of the game. The highlights are giant beavers and handcuffs.
A big beaver, but at least it doesn’t sing
At more or less regular intervals, ARK: Survival Evolved brings new content for the PC version of the game, which is then brought to the Xbox One with some delay. The latest patch added a new creature to the island, the so-called “Castoroides.” Since hardly anyone can remember this name, we simply call it “giant beaver” and hit the nail (or the rodent?) on the head.
Like many other creatures, you can ride the beaver and gather wood particularly quickly with it, although it cannot carry heavy loads. However, it is said to be useful for crafting quickly “on the go.” In the wild, beavers like to build dams, although it usually doesn’t take long before other creatures destroy them. However, beavers also make quite annoying noises – a scoundrel thinks of other beavers while doing so.

Anyone who enjoys restraining other players or has a particular fondness for a certain type of “role-playing” will take great pleasure in handcuffs. It is now possible to put a player’s hands in irons to hinder them from further actions – may the time of self-proclaimed policemen begin!
As every week, the new Team of the Week in FIFA 16: Ultimate Team is released today on Wednesday, February 24th. This time featuring: Müller, Ibrahimovic, and Tevez!
In FIFA 16: FUT, the Team of the Week 24 is released today. Players who have recently performed excellently in the real football world are honored with In-Form cards. These cards are usually in high demand since players are assigned improved attributes. Additionally, they can only be drawn in packs for one week.
The following players have made it into the Team of the Week:
The Bundesliga star Thomas Müller has experienced an increase of +2 overall. In the shooting attributes, which are crucial for the offensive player, he received an additional 4 points. As a CAM, the +5 in passing attributes is also excellent.
These players will be available in the packs from 7 PM. Additionally, a new weekly challenge starts where you can compete against the team offline. Depending on the difficulty level, rewards in the form of fresh coins await.
In an “IGN First”, Ubisoft Massive explains how the RPG aspect of weapons in The Division looks and what customization options are available.
Senior Game Designer Fredrik Thylander explains in a new video from IGN that the RPG aspects of The Division are diverse. According to the designer from Massive, all weapons have different characteristics, so all player types can be satisfied. You will likely soon find your individual favorite weapon and customize it as you like.
Each Weapon Type is Unique
Fredrik Thylander is responsible for the weapons and weapon modifications in The Division. In the video, he describes the different weapon types and explains how to modify them. RPG and shooter are intended to become one.
This is to be achieved by ensuring that each weapon type has unique characteristics. They should not only represent “visual variations” but also feel different. Each type has its own mechanics.
There are six different weapon types:
Light Machine Gun: When you shoot with it, this weapon type becomes increasingly precise while shooting, stability is increased, and spread is reduced. This should allow for long bursts of fire.
Assault Rifle: The classic assault rifle feels like you are used to from other shooters. It has some recoil and spread, but everything is within a controllable range.
Submachine Gun: These have a fairly large spread but do not deviate too much when firing. They are not very precise but quite stable. At optimal distance from the enemy, they perform well.
Sniper Rifle: All sniper rifles have a strong headshot bonus. That is what makes them unique. Headshots deal devastating damage.
Shotgun: Nothing is really said about them, but it should be known from the beta that they are extremely deadly at close range.
Thylander explains that the talents are not unlocked immediately. You need to meet certain prerequisites, such as a specific amount of stamina, electronics, etc. Here, the RPG aspect is particularly noticeable. Efforts are required to fully exploit your weapon’s potential. Combinations of all customization options can provide you with significant advantages.
With Modifications to the Favorite Weapon
There is also the possibility to modify your weapon. There are up to four mod slots: Optics, Underbarrel, Magazine, and Muzzle. You can customize your weapon as you like: If you think it doesn’t zoom in close enough, spreads too much, or needs a silencer, there are numerous modification options for your weapon.

Senior Game Designer Fredrik Thylander believes that the agents will appreciate this variety. He is very proud that they have been able to reconcile the cover shooter with RPG mechanics. Both combined work exceptionally well.
In the MMO shooter Destiny the Iron Banner is active in February. We show the rewards, including Weyloran’s March and Tormod’s Toll.
The Iron Banner has been active since yesterday at 7:00 PM. According to Bungie, it is supposed to end on Tuesday at 10:00 AM… but one is not entirely convinced, as it has ended hours earlier in previous instances. However, 10:00 AM is the official timing from Bungie.
At Lord Saladin, his friends call him “the Salad Bar,” but he has no friends, the following items with “fixed values” can be purchased:

What else is there to consider? How do I get other items?
Crucial reputation ranks are 3 and 5. There is a new package from Lord Saladin for those. It is important: You must collect the Rank 3 package now before you receive the Rank 5 package, otherwise, it will expire.
The Rank 3 package contains a rare 310 artifact, 4 Light particles, and 4 strange coins.
The Rank 5 package contains a Ghost Shell with 310 and then either a weapon or an armor piece from the Iron Banner with a value of 310 or higher.
What are the properties of the weapons Weyloran’s March and Tormod’s Toll?
The Sniper Rifle Weyloran’s March is currently being celebrated a bit because it has a high “Aim Assist.” However, it is a fast-firing sniper rifle, so it is not a so-called “Revive” sniper, which is in demand in Osiris to take down revived players with headshots right away.
It comes with the following perks:
Falcon Eye SLR15/Long Range SLR20/Surveillance SLH25
Maintenance work is taking place today, February 24, for the Asia MMO Blade and Soul. When will the game be available again, when can Blade and Soul be played?
Since 1:00 PM today, the servers for Blade and Soul have been offline. Maintenance work is underway. The targeted time for the Free2Play MMORPG to be back online is 5:00 PM. In such cases, the Asia MMORPG has given the somewhat quirky message: “When the game becomes available, restart the launcher.”
The maintenance work is not introducing any major changes. The Valentine’s Day event is ending – however, the red and white roses can be redeemed until March 1. Additionally, new skill descriptions in German have been completed and will go live now.
Just yesterday, we reported on a Q&A session with the developers on Reddit. There was a lot of current information, including an explanation of why patches are always applied during “peak times” in Europe:
An Alpha gameplay trailer has been released for the multiplayer space shooter EVE: Valkyrie. This is full of space action and praise for the upcoming VR game.
CCP Games has recently released a new trailer for EVE: Valkyrie. This is intended to entice players for the upcoming VR game: You will need an Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, or HTC Vive for your Valkyrie experience.
The trailer is rather short, but it provides a nice insight into the alpha version of the game. Quite modestly, the trailer begins with the statement that the dawn of the VR revolution is upon us. It follows with frantic and fast-paced scenes, where a lot flies into the air. Just beautiful space action.
A quote or two is also displayed, praising the game. Ben Kuchera from Polygon says it is breathtaking every time. William Schwartz (Attack of the Fanboy) considers it beautiful and immersive, and Andy Keller (PC Gamer) says:
„Absolutely exhilarating“
The developers of Valkyrie state that the game was built from the ground up with the latest technology for VR and that it is the most intuitive, intense, and realistic dogfighting game that has ever been available cross-platform.

As Bethesda announces, the shooter classic Doom will come uncensored to Germany. The USK has granted a rating of 18 (“No Youth Release”).
In a press release from Bethesda, it was announced that Doom will be released in Germany in the uncensored version. The USK has rated the game with the label “No Youth Release”. It can be sold without restrictions to adult players.
The new Doom will include multiplayer deathmatches, relentless demons, and a variety of destructive weapons that you can use to bloodily eliminate your opponents. The shooter featured countless extremely brutal scenes in previous trailers, which is why an uncensored release in Germany was by no means a given. However, if desired, German gamers can also access the English original version.
