Although The Division is set to release in just a few days, the MMO shooter already has numerous followers. Now, a fan-made short film has been released that is worth watching.
“Outliers” is the name of the fan-made short film, which did not win an Oscar yesterday (and probably won’t for a while), yet it is definitely worth a watch.
This film was developed and released by the team of the YouTube channel “Frisky Biscuit” and is supposed to be based on Tom Clancy’s The Division. According to their own statements, they worked on the short film for months and started filming even before there was much information about this game.
Nevertheless, the film features some elements that most of us discovered during the beta phases – the recognition effect with The Division is certainly present. Furthermore, there is no shortage of blood and gunfights. A little sprinkle of humor makes this fan-created short film at least an entertaining pastime.
If you have a good nine minutes to spare or don’t know how to pass the excruciating wait until the launch of The Division, it is worth taking a look at this short film.

On World of Warcraft there was some commotion in the forum regarding the planned changes to the Water Striders. They should soon stay on land.
Will the Water Striders Stay on Dry Land?
If players of World of Warcraft cannot stand one thing, it is the retroactive devaluation of hard-earned rewards. The latest patch on the alpha servers of the upcoming expansion “Legion” should allow just that. The problem was the so-called “Water Strider” mounts, which were introduced with Mist of Pandaria. These are – as the name suggests – capable of marching over most bodies of water and thus provide a significant advantage over almost all other mounts, especially when flying is not permitted in an area.
Since these mounts are often associated with a high farming effort – in Warlords of Draenor, you had to catch 100 very rare fish for it – the community was outraged when it was said: In Legion, the mounts would no longer be able to walk on water.
This sparked a heated discussion in the forum, during which Blizzard initially explained that the changes were important to avoid “forcing” players to certain mounts – after all, there are over 300 cool mounts and only a handful of Water Striders.
The community defended the Water Striders and stated that there are quite a few other methods to walk on water. There was no reason to take away something of its unique ability – because it is not that unique.
After initially proposing a compromise, where the Water Striders would only stay on the ground in the areas of “Legion”, a complete reversal of the changes was ultimately decided. After internal discussions and considering the feedback, it was concluded that Water Striders would continue to walk on water in Legion. Somehow, “Water Strider that can only walk on certain water” would also be a very impractical name for a mount.
In ArcheAge , the possibility for server transfer is available again. However, certain conditions must be met. We have the details for you.
No Bindings on the Old Server
After a long demand from the fans, as of today, February 29, 2016, there is again the possibility to move characters from one server to another in ArcheAge. For each transfer, 2700 credits must be paid to purchase the corresponding item in the Glyph shop. This also means that free-to-play players can earn a transfer without spending real money through some clever auction house purchases. However, to embark on the new server journey, certain conditions must be fulfilled, and we have a few here for you:
The character must not have any mail in the mailbox or auctions in the auction house
The character must not own any land
The character must neither be in a guild nor in a family
You will find a complete list of the requirements and restrictions in our sources.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cfuhTvQ9BE
Apart from the character transfer, there are also some new items in the shop. The highlight is probably the new Thunderous Pegasus, which can be obtained from certain chests. For the first time, it can also be sold through the auction house, providing an additional benefit for free-to-play players, who can thus enjoy the mount.
For more news and information about the game, you can find it on our ArcheAge topic page.

The wait for Tree of Savior is coming to an end soon, the international version will soon enter an open beta phase.
When is Tree of Savior coming to the West? No fixed date, just “soon”
As early as December of last year, the MMORPG with the picturesque cuddly graphics Tree of Savior launched in Korea. Now it has been announced that an international version will follow soon. Although there is still no specific date, the official announcement states:“Yes, the open beta for Tree of Savior is coming soon to a statue of a goddess near you!”
Along with this change, the official website has also been redesigned and visually enhanced to be a bit more appealing.
However, the eagerly awaiting players are expressly asked to read the terms and conditions carefully in advance.
Meanwhile, there are some minor changes in the Korean version of the game. Those who have achieved rank 5 or better will now find a statue of their character in the city of Klaipeda, which can be admired by the whole world.

In this FIFA 16: FUT guide, we take a detailed look at the best players in the game. We sort them by their attributes and leagues and present them in leaderboards.
In FIFA 16, every footballer has individual attributes, which are characteristics that determine their quality on the pitch. With the winter upgrades, which are now complete, some players have been assigned improved values by EA Sports. We now want to take an in-depth look at which players are now the best in the FIFA 16 Ultimate Team mode and how the power dynamics have shifted.
Our approach is to first look at the best players in FUT sorted by their attributes. Next, we zoom into individual leagues and examine their best players. We will take a closer look at the 1. Bundesliga, the Premier League, the BBVA, the Serie A, and the Ligue 1.
In this guide, we will only focus on the standard cards, as TOTY cards, In-Forms, etc., would only distort the picture. The TOTY players would of course dominate all leaderboards. We also do not want to consider the legends – only the standard cards that are available on all platforms.

This ensures a good overview of which games are popular and which are flops.
Today, we take a look at games that cost less than €10 on Steam and have received the best ratings – at least according to the community. Get ready for the top 5.

It just made it into the top 5, the point & click adventure Primordia. The graphics may not blow anyone away (and didn’t even do so at its release), but that’s not what makes this genre appealing.
In a futuristic world where humans have disappeared and only robots roam the landscape, you experience the story from the perspective of Horatio Nullbuilt, a robot whose energy source has recently been stolen.
The story is filled with humor and simultaneously bitter seriousness, as the world is dying. A must for point & click fans, but even genre opponents might be able to warm up to it.
In The Division, they are celebrating 1 million Facebook likes with a weapon skin that they want to distribute to everyone. Additionally, the National Guard Gear Set will be unlockable for every agent.
Ubisoft is feeling generous: On one hand, they want to celebrate the 1 million Facebook likes with the entire community by throwing around weapon skins, and on the other hand, the publisher silently releases the National Gear Set for everyone. This not only brings joy.
For the Facebook celebration, there’s a weapon skin
But first, about the free weapon skin: On this official page from Ubisoft, all agents are invited to celebrate the 1 million Facebook likes with the publisher. If you sign up on the page, you will receive an “exclusive weapon skin” after March 15, 2016.
The National Guard Set will be available for everyone
However, the decision from Ubisoft that the National Guard Set will be available for everyone is causing unrest. According to the Division Zone website, the publisher made this decision quietly and did not communicate it clearly. Until now, it was assumed that the set was actually intended as an exclusive purchasing incentive for the “Tom Clancy’s The Division Gold Edition”.
The National Guard Set will not only be available for Gold Edition buyers.
Gamers who ordered the Gold Edition a while ago to receive this “exclusive skin” are now disappointed.
How to get the National Guard Gear Set:
Buyers of the Season Pass will receive the set from day one – the Season Pass is included in certain game editions, such as the Gold Edition.
Every agent unlocks the set at some point during their gameplay progress.
By the way: The set has nothing to do with pre-order bonuses.
What do you think of both announcements?

In Destiny, there are some items that are already known but have not yet been discovered by any Guardian. For example, the ship “Fatal Vision” and the shader “Chalcedon” can be mentioned.
Some Guardians are still desperately searching for mysterious items in the Destiny universe, about which little is known but a lot is speculated. These include the ship “Fatal Vision” and the shader “Chalcedon”.
In the Tower of Destiny, in addition to collections for exotic items, there are also Item Collections for emotes, ships, sparrows, shaders, and emblems. These hold items that have already been unlocked for Guardians, which can be retrieved there even if they have been dismantled.
These collections can also be viewed as databases. Therefore, Guardians know that there are still items somewhere in the Destiny universe, as these items are already visible in the collections. Just like the jump ship “Fatal Vision”. Guardians have been wondering for ages how to get their hands on this interstellar vehicle.
Over two months ago, there was hope that the Fatal Vision would be obtained after collecting 50 calcinated fragments. But the hope of obtaining this beautiful ship this way quickly dissipated into the sand. There was only the “Beltane Shader”.
Speaking of shaders – what about the Chalcedon? This sporty shader is also found in the database and is high on the wish list of Guardians. Numerous other shaders are still undiscovered. What about those?
Bungie: Items are not available
Now Bungie has spoken up – a relaxed 5 months later, after Guardians first raised these questions. And the statement is more than sobering:
Some items that are visible in the Item Collection cannot currently be obtained in the game.
The items in question are as follows:
Emblems:
Knowledge Stream
Spectral Theory
Shaders:
Anahata
Old Land
Beowulf
Chalcedon
Heroic Deeds
Cicero
Gilgamesh
Lion Dancer
Lost City
Valsgärde
Last Night
Walkabout
Ships:
Fatal Vision
Important: For clarification, as we receive some comments: Some of the shaders listed here were available in year 1 and were quite widespread. So you are not a unique snowflake if you have one of those things. “CURRENTLY,” says the nice uncle from Bungie, they are no longer obtainable.
Guardians are not pleased with this meager announcement
The reactions online are as expected. Guardians are outraged that Bungie has only now decided to speak up and make statements about these items.
Furthermore, there is dissatisfaction that Bungie merely stated that these items are currently not available, and not when they will be available. Moreover, it is already known that they cannot be obtained at the moment; otherwise, clever Guardians would have discovered them long ago. This raises the question: Why can they not be obtained yet? The developers, however, remain silent on this.
Weapon skins were scarce in the Open Beta of The Division. Not everyone was lucky enough to style their weapon with a fresh skin. We showcase some skins that were discovered in the Open Beta.
In the shooter community, it is popular to customize one’s weapons and proudly display them. The customizations go far beyond a new sight and stock – the favorite weapon must also look good. To spruce up the gun, one can apply a nice skin to it.
The Division will also have weapon skins so you can change your firearms cosmetically. Although some skins were already available during the beta testing phases, very few of us were lucky (or had the time) for a skin to drop. These coveted cosmetics were in short supply.
Arekkz Gaming shows us in a new video what weapon skins he and his friends received in the Open Beta. His skin dropped on the last day of the Open Beta. Check it out:

Note at this point: These are by no means all the weapon skins available during this testing phase. There are also reports of pink and neon green weapon skins.
Would pink be something for you?
In general, not much is known about the skins, what versions and ranks they will have. Only speculation can be made at this point. The video shows the following colors: “Solid – Light Blue”, “Solid – Dark Blue”, “Solid – Highland Green”, “Solid – Orange”, and “Solid – Stealth Gray”. The preceding info “Solid” suggests that the skins will have different ranks.
We have already reported in this article that the developer Massive Entertainment announced that there will be a vendor offering several weapon skins. Until now, the skins have simply been too rare, and the distribution hasn’t matched up. With the option of a vendor, significantly more players can procure the coveted skins and customize their characters.
This vendor will be waiting for you at the Operations Base with stylish and sporty skins. And you should be able to pay and acquire the skins with in-game currency. There is still a chance that there will be no microtransactions in The Division at all.
What do you think of these weapon skins? Which colors did you adorn your weapons with in the Open Beta?
The digital sales of games are booming. The top games in January 2016 are now League of Legends, WoW and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Superdata Research creates various reports full of analyses. Data for this comes from developers, publishers, and payment service providers – the data from 47 million paying players worldwide, according to their own statements. The goal is to sell it to companies. However, a part is also presented publicly.
This time, it all revolves around their favorite topic, the digital game market. It continues to boom, increasing by 8% in January compared to the previous year. PC and console games are rising the most, as players are now not just buying DLCs or small items digitally, but the full games.
In the Free2Play games, we see 3 well-known names, 2 exotic ones
In the Free2Play MMOs, it looks like this. Superdata identifies games here that do not have a subscription function, nor an optional one:
In this segment, little has changed for years. LoL and World of Tanks seem to be market leaders in their areas, their position is probably quite cemented. There’s a bold thesis: There is actually no MOBA genre, there is only LoL and others that try have a hard time. Even software giants like Blizzard or Valve may be successful with their MOBA titles, but are far from the dimensions that League of Legends achieves.
When you see images or videos of the two Asian games, you can’t help but rub your eyes in amazement as a Westerner. But well, LoL or Dota 2 aren’t exactly beauties whose fascination is evident at first glance.
And yes: Superdata defines the term “MMO” much broader than most do here. That MOBAs like LoL or DOTA 2 fall under it is normal for the analysis company. While here, people would debate heatedly whether World of Tanks even falls under the term.
TERA stronger than Star Wars: The Old Republic and Blade and Soul
In the MMOs that have a subscription option, the revenue rankings in January are as follows:
The definition of “Pay2Play” as “One can take out a subscription” is quite debatable and might seem arbitrary to some readers. But here, there is indeed an interesting mix of games. The top two are the respective giants and silverbacks in the West and East, which is not so exciting. But that TERA, SWTOR, and Blade and Soul particularly hold places 3-5 tells an interesting story.
Each of the games has its own strengths and weaknesses. TERA was long underdeveloped due to a lawsuit, SWTOR was almost written off after a difficult release, but EA just wouldn’t let it die, developing it further because of the great license, and B&S took ages to get a Western release. But despite all the differences, the games have one thing in common: success.
The franchise rules: Destiny and FIFA 16 also top in January
In console games, the digital revenue looks like this:
In consoles, there are no major surprises. Destiny is the only title that doesn’t signal through a numeral: “Hello, I am a big franchise”, although Destiny is explicitly aiming to become one. The numbers show why the console market, like Hollywood, is firmly in the grasp of “series, franchises, and sequels”: They simply make the most money.
Genuine surprises in this weight class are probably rare.

In the action MMORPG TERA the “old” starting area gets a major overhaul. From now on, max-level monsters will roam here!
From Starting Area to Endgame Zone
At EnMasse, it has been announced that the next patch for the US version of TERA will be deployed on March 1, 2016. This brings fresh air to the story surrounding the Twilight Island, as it was recently replaced by the new “Dream Tree Island” as the starting area and has since lain fallow without quests and resources.
This will now be changed, as the Twilight Island will be significantly revamped with the upcoming update. The old enemies of levels 1-6 will be replaced by BAMs (TERA’s version of “Elite” foes), providing plenty of opportunities for daily and weekly quests. The story will also continue, as it needs to be explored how the World Tree could be destroyed.
But there are also some new features away from the Twilight Island. A new difficulty level is available for the “Forsaken Island”, an endgame dungeon. In hard mode, players can face particularly tough bosses and collect valuable armor and crafting materials. According to the presentation, it is said to be really difficult this time, as the visit is only for the “best of the best of the best”.
Finally, the Dreadspire, the terror peak, returns once again and brings a total of 22 challenges for players brave enough to face the individual levels.
Although there will also be maintenance work at Gameforge this coming weekend, the patch for our EU version has not yet been announced there. So, we will have to wait a few more days.
For more news and articles about the game, you can find them on our TERA themed page.

The Black Desert starting today has problems with the head start. An unexpected error has occurred. Players are unable to log in.
At 9:00 AM this morning, Black Desert was supposed to start, but network issues are affecting BD like many MMORPGs before at launch.
Important: A short patch was released just before the launch. It may help to close the client and restart it to pull the new patch.
Currently, players are receiving the error message “Unexpected error -100.” There seem to be network issues behind it. This seems widespread. On reddit, posts like “Can anyone else not log in?” have popped up like mushrooms.
Surely expected somewhere, in the first minutes of many MMORPGs it went this way. Hardly one was spared. However, since players had to pay quite a bit for the head start, it is still a surprise. And also unpleasant for the publisher, after all, players spent quite a lot to start immediately.
We will keep you updated in this thread about how things develop.
Update 9:23: It looks like they got the issues under control relatively quickly and a bunch of imps are also at the start. Good!
Head Start for pre-order players of the Conqueror’s Package has begun! Help us with that imp plague! /go pic.twitter.com/VhL4sm5LD6
Over time, many items have been lost in World of Warcraft. We have listed some of the rarest items for you and reveal their origins.
Lost in Data Nirvana Over the Years
With its 5 expansions so far, World of Warcraft has undergone many changes and transformations. It is no wonder that some items that could only be obtained in Classic have since met their demise and are no longer available in the game. Many “newbies” also have no idea where these items actually come from or what purpose they once served. We have compiled a handful of tidbits (with some input from Kotaku) that are rarely found in WoW.
Some of them can even be sold for a lot of money. Maybe you’re rich and don’t even know it?
Haunted Memento
Those who participated in the starter event for Wrath of the Lich King will remember the Haunted Mementos. They were thrown around during the Scourge invasion, and every player probably had several of them. “Back then,” you could even throw these items to your fellow players and thus transfer them to their inventory. Many players only noticed the effect late: If you had the memento with you, a small, transparent wraith would follow you, lurking at your heels.
Since then, the memento has been changed multiple times: you can no longer throw it to other players, and the wraith appears only rarely, often lasting just a few seconds. Rumor has it that the item caused several server crashes at the launch of Warlords of Draenor – is there some truth to that?
Today, it is rarely seen, especially when some returners sell it or long-time owners want to part with it. Essentially useless, but worth several thousand gold pieces to many players.
On the second page, you will find a particularly rare robe and probably the most sought-after dragon in the game.

The Asia MMORPG Black Desert will go into Headstart on February 28th. Before that, there will be a few announcements.
Originally, Black Desert planned to start with 2 servers in the USA and 2 in Europe. Due to the “incredible growth” in the player base, this has been increased to 3 each. This was announced the night before the first Headstart. Each server will have 9 channels, 7 of which will be open.
The EU servers are named Croxus, Jordine, and Alustine. Jordine and Alustine were planned, Croxus is now new in the mix.
By the way, Daum is ready to intervene in the feared “bottleneck” with the Imps when necessary if players get stuck again. In the Beta, these were always horribly over-farmed quest areas, right at the beginning.
The patch that players have to download before the start of the servers is said to be approximately 700 MB in size.
Costume Price Reduced
The price of complete costumes with weapons in the cash shop has been reduced. There has been a heated discussion about this. It goes down from 3200 pearls (32€) to 2900 pearls (29€). Skeptics already say: They only did this so that no one can say a costume is more expensive than the game itself.
From March 3rd to March 14th, the price will be reduced to 2500 pearls. This allows buyers of a Conqueror package to take advantage of their 2,500 pearls. During this time, pets will also be 20% cheaper. Headstarters should perhaps wait with purchases until the release.
As a “last-minute change,” a relatively complex loot system for groups has been added. This comes fresh from the Korean servers. Players can either roll for an item or auction it off in a sort of auction.
When does Black Desert start? At what time does it go live?
In the tank MMO Armored Warfare the patch 0.13, which brings the third dealer, is now live. Seven Chinese tanks and the map Burning Coast are also new.
With a week delay, the update 0.13 for Armored Warfare arrived on Thursday. The game is still in open beta and is being quickly developed. However, the patch that was introduced earlier had been delayed due to technical problems.
The map “Dangerous Coast” in the Mediterranean is another highlight. In a street battle, players maneuver through an urban jungle, past burnt-out wrecks, and eliminate their enemies.
At Blade & Soul, there’s more detailed information about the new content coming with the next patch: the Naryuan Labyrinth and the next floor in the Tower of Mushin.
From March 2nd, hungry players of Blade & Soul will have new content once again. The next patch will introduce a new dungeon for 6 or 4 players (depending on the difficulty) and the Tower of Mushin will be expanded to the 8th floor.
The Naryuan Labyrinth
Those who have already reached the maximum level in Blade & Soul and battled through the “standard” dungeons will surely enjoy the Naryuan Labyrinth. The dungeon is divided into 3 levels, each visit offering a slightly different experience since which corridors open is left to chance.
Yaaa… not creepy at all, this Be Ido.
In addition to exciting battles, players must also demonstrate their skill in various jumping sections to face the bosses at the end of each area. One of them, “Be Ido,” seems to have stepped right out of Stephen King’s “It” – you definitely wouldn’t want to meet him at night.
Cool costumes await all players who take on the challenges.
Rewards include new armor sets, such as those from the boss duo Fuji and Raijin. Players can dress up in the attire of an embodiment of wind or thunder.
The (temporarily) Last Level of the Tower
For those who have had enough of the labyrinth, they can now venture into the 8th floor of the Tower of Mushin. Here, players must fight against 3 manifestations of the name giver (Spoiler: Mushin!) and each must succeed against a strict time limit. As expected, rewards include special weapon skins and a fresh set of Bagua. In the future, the tower will offer more levels, but these will come in a later content patch.
The Finnish raid guild Paragon, which has snagged many first kills in World of Warcraft, is retreating from the raid race.
A pillar of the raid scene is collapsing
Once again, World of Warcraft loses one of its major raid guilds. The Finnish guild Paragon has now officially announced that they will cease raid operations and consequently will not participate in the races for “first kills” in Legion.
While many players see this as another sign of the decline of World of Warcraft, Paragon cites different reasons. The guild has been unable to maintain 20-25 Finnish players at a high level for a long time, making it impossible to continue competing in the first kill race in the future. There was discussion about becoming more international, but after a long debate, this was rejected, and the guild decided to come to an end. They also lament the possibility that there might once again be no “mythic” difficulty for a smaller group – around 10 players – which makes things even more difficult.
Paragon can look back on a long list of achievements. They gained significant attention with the second kill of Yogg-Saron (with 0 guardians) in Wrath of the Lich King, and among their greatest accomplishments was the first kill of Garrosh Hellscream in the Siege of Orgrimmar. Even in recent months, they were still competing at the “top”, having caused the second recorded demise of mythic Archimonde.
Many players have also simply “benefited passively” from this guild, as many strategies for defeating the hardest bosses originated from Paragon.
The raiders are not completely stepping away from the gaming scene, however; they have announced that they will be found in Overwatch in the coming weeks and months. Whether they will compete at the “top” there or just take some relaxation remains to be seen.
In September, players from the raid guild “Method” became independent as “Serenity” to be even more “hardcore”:
In the MMO shooter Destiny , fans have created creative and exciting Ghost shells.
You can tell lately that Bungie has been getting a bit quirky with Ghost shells during events like the Festival of the Lost. There’s one with icing and one covered in chocolate. Overall, the Ghost shells in Destiny are rather uncreative and don’t spark discussions like the particularly extravagant armor or weapons do.
This inspired a fan to design his own themed Ghost shells to match Destiny. The enthusiastic community then came up with further suggestions: Do this and do that! And he did.
We have the results here for you:
This shell could be from Atheon in hard mode, the artist suggests. The one from the title image could be a hidden reward after the Gorgons.
He is actually the fan favorite. The “Prime shell” was requested by most Guardians.
What do you think? Is this too silly? Or just really creative?
In The Division, there are 24 passive traits that can enhance your agents: the talents. We present them in a compact and clear manner.
In a video by Arekkz Gaming, all 24 talents are introduced and explained. The talents are passive traits. This means that once you have unlocked them, they automatically take effect in certain situations, thereby improving your agent. You can refer to the following list to see in which situations they are triggered.
In the “Abilities”, you will also find the tab “Talents”
You can select a maximum of four talents simultaneously as soon as you have unlocked the slots for them. You are free to change the talents at any time if you believe that a new combination brings you more advantages.
There are a total of 24 talents: 8 in Medicine, 8 in Technology, and 8 in Security. You unlock them by completing missions.
Attention: This does not refer to the talents that upgrade your weapons, but solely to the passive traits of your agent.
Here are the talents in the Medicine tree
Adrenaline: Use a medkit when you are not at full health to receive an “overheal”. This temporarily increases your max health.
Shock and Awe: Suppress an enemy to increase your speed by 25% for 10 seconds. This is useful for quickly escaping a fight.
Critical Save: Use a medkit at low health to increase damage resistance by 40% for 10 seconds.
Combat Medic: When you use a medkit, you heal your group members and other allies within 20 meters by 40%.
Strike Back: At low health, you reduce the active skill cooldown time by 20%.
Shrapnel: When you inflict “bleeding” on an enemy, there is a 30% chance to transfer this effect to all enemies within 10 meters.
Battle Buddy: When you revive a teammate, the damage taken for both agents is reduced by 50% for 10 seconds.
Triage: When you heal an ally with a skill, skill cooldowns are reduced by 15%.
Here are the talents in the Technology tree:
Tactical Advance: This talent activates when you perform a cover-to-cover move. For 10 seconds, your weapon damage increases by 2% per meter. Therefore, the benefit is greater the longer the cover-to-cover move is.
Police Up: Kill an enemy with any skill for a 25% chance that all ammunition types are fully replenished.
Evasive Action: During a cover-to-cover move, incoming damage is reduced by 30%.
Wildfire: Similar to “Shrapnel”, there is a 30% chance of applying an effect to all enemies within 10 meters when you inflict the effect on an enemy. However, this is not “bleeding”, but rather “burning”.
Death by Proxy: If you prevent an enemy-used skill, your skill power increases by 20% for 30 seconds.
Tech Support: Kill an enemy during an active skill to extend the duration of the skill by 10%.
Fear Tactics: Similar to “Shrapnel” and “Wildfire”, but this time with the effect “shock”.
Demolition Expert: Kill an enemy with an explosion to increase explosion damage by 40%. This lasts for 15 seconds.
Here are the talents of the Security tree:
Steady Hands: When you go into cover, recoil is reduced by 25% for 10 seconds.
Precision: On a headshot, your enemy is marked for 10 seconds.
Desperate Times: At low health, accuracy while firing from cover, “blind fire”, is increased by 20%.
Repo Reaper: Kill an enemy with your sidearm to receive a full magazine for your primary weapon.
One is None: If you hit your opponent with a headshot, there is a 50% chance that the bullet is not consumed. It essentially bounces back into your magazine. According to Arekkz, this talent is his favorite.
Stopping Power: Suppress an enemy to increase headshot damage by 25% for 10 seconds.
Chain Reaction: If you damage multiple enemies with an explosion, explosion damage is increased by 40%.
On The Move: If you kill an enemy while moving, damage taken is reduced by 30% for 10 seconds.

Black Desert is our MMO of the month. We will tell you what speaks for the new MMORPG.
Admittedly, the choice for MMO of the month was difficult for us in February. In January, we had a neck-and-neck race between Diablo 3 and Blade and Soul, but there wasn’t much going on in February. There were few content updates in the games, no new releases, not much happening. Everything is gearing up for March.
We chose Black Desert in February, even though the game could only be played for a few days in a closed beta. But at least I had more “aha” moments in the two, three, four days of the beta than in weeks of other MMORPGs. These are advance praises that we are handing out here, but the 30 or more hours I spent in the beta would have already been worth the purchase price of about 30€ (without extras).
Black Desert starts on February 28 with the head start. I rarely looked forward to an MMORPG as much as this time.
Black Desert works differently than our games
Black Desert is a Korean MMORPG focused on combat, exploration, trading, and crafting.
In the MMORPGs we are used to, you are sent from village to village. The NPCs stand in formation and tell you their entire life story and want you to do something for them. There are quests in bite-sized pieces, it’s all “questing by numbers,” the world is divided into portions waiting to be consumed gradually.
In Black Desert, you arrive in a village and first have to chat with the residents, gain their trust before they provide you with quests. You have to establish an existence in the world, uncover secrets, or perhaps build a small trading empire.

Five reasons why Black Desert is our MMO of the month February
It’s beautiful – A lot has been written about the character editor, but the landscape itself has a lot to offer as well. I have rarely spent so much time alone in the starting area, and it has rarely been so okay for me to run from point A to point B. It is a world where you simply enjoy being.
It’s mysterious – Right now, you see everywhere “I played the beta, I have no idea what’s going on. But I look forward to figuring it out.” Exactly, that’s the appeal. Black Desert is exotic and underexplained. The node system, the knowledge system, how it all works – I have no idea after x hours in beta. I have a faint idea, the glimmer of understanding glows, and that is enough for me at the moment. This may be a disadvantage for some. For me, who felt like I had “seen through” the game in the first 2 hours of the last MMORPGs, it’s an advantage. Finally unexplored land again.
It’s fun to slay monsters. In the first beta, I was out with a berserker. It was really fun to smash the monsters just because they were there. The combos and actions flowed smoothly. And I had no need to stare at the quest counter or the EXP display. Good thing! In the second beta as a ranger, I had a completely different gaming experience. That wasn’t really for me. For the release, I am still fluctuating between berserker and something entirely different; maybe it will be the tamer.
Exploring is worth it again. Anyone looking at the map in Black Desert sees something worth exploring. There is a collection of stones here, a cave on the coast there. What lies behind the waterfall? I have no idea, but I want to find out and get the “knowledge” about it. This will then be noted in the quest log. Who knows what it’s good for!
Black Desert is foreign. For two years, I have been writing about Black Desert, wondering from afar how this or that system would work in practice. It operates on unknown patterns and can surprise me with it! Man, when was the last time you could say something like that about an MMORPG?
