Blade & Soul: Valentine event live, lures with enticing rewards

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In MMORPG Blade & Soul there is currently a Valentine’s event taking place, where players can earn or buy stylish rewards for a limited time.

Collect as many flowers as possible

Blade and Soul Pimp Costume
Stylish outfits are of course part of every good in-game event.

In a game with attractive characters, as is the case with Blade & Soul, a fitting Valentine’s event is of course a must. The task during the event seems relatively simple and entices with stylish rewards. Characters must collect red and white roses to later exchange them for one of the desired items.

Collecting the roses is possible from level 16. The red flowers are obtained through a daily quest that requires players to travel to the Jadestone Village (the mission appears automatically in the quest log). After completing a small task, you must fulfill various “heart’s wishes” under time pressure – if you succeed, you can collect 4-5 red roses per day.

Those who do not feel like doing the daily missions can also purchase a box containing 12 red roses from the shop every day to spare themselves the trouble.

For the white roses, you have to venture into the numerous dungeons, the vaults of Blade & Soul. They are primarily distributed through the completion of dynamic events, which provides an additional incentive to explore the game’s instances.

But what’s the whole fuss for?

The various flowers can later be exchanged for different rewards. A powerful new gemstone awaits, with which you can upgrade your equipment, or the “Gift for the Festival of Love” – just check out the graphic to see everything it contains.

Blade and Soul Gift Festival of Love

We have already discussed in detail about the particularly revealing Valentine’s costumes that you can purchase in the shop for the duration of the event.

The Valentine’s event is only active from February 10 to February 24 – so if you want the rewards, you should start collecting the flowers soon!

World of Warcraft: Legion – Talentrechner für PvE, PvP und Artefakte!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

What do the talents in World of Warcraft: Legion look like? How should I plan my character? A new talent calculator provides assistance.

The Talents in Legion

The next expansion of World of Warcraft is currently in development and the closed alpha test is in full swing. Although it will still take a while for the contents of Legion to be finalized, more and more aspects of the add-on are gradually taking shape.

The colleagues at mmo-champion have already made the effort to update three different talent calculators. With these small tools, one can already determine the distribution of skill points for the individual classes, divided into the “regular” talents, the special PvP talents, and the properties of the artifact weapons.

WoW Legion Artifact traits Arcane Mage

Here are the individual talent calculators:

Please note that all this content is still in planning and consequently the talents can be significantly changed or even completely replaced until the actual release of “Legion”.

Grimm Dark Legacy: TV series “Grimm” gets its own MMO

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

The TV series “Grimm,” which airs on Vox, is getting its own MMO called “Grimm: Dark Legacy.”

The series “Grimm” is based on the idea that Grimm’s fairy tales are based on true facts. There are beastly creatures living among us in human form, discovered and hunted by a “Grimm.” There are flesh-eating Blutbaden (wolves), anxious bauernschweine, clever fuchsteufel, and nasty hexenbiester.

The TV series has been airing since 2011 in the USA: a police officer, a Grimm, investigates alongside a vegan Blutbaden and a whole host of helpers. It’s relatively light fantasy/crime fare.

Grimm: Dark Legacy is set in a world hundreds of years ago. Players are expected to use all the abilities of the Grimms and their weapons to survive. The game will be free-to-play. Combat is expected to be an important part of the game. Missions need to be completed, and rewards reaped. Behind the description, MMO players know that anything could be lurking.

Farming 320 Ghost Shells in Destiny through Suicide on Valentine’s Day

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

This week, there are new, coveted Ghost shells at Destiny for Valentine’s Day. Some players are farming them with a macabre trick.

Currently, the Crimson Days are in full swing. There are a few new bounties, a quest, emotes, and a few rewards that you can snag. Particularly coveted are the Ghost shells that can drop up to Light Level 320. They also look quite funny.

Of course, the savvy Guardians among us have already figured out a trick on how to proceed most efficiently when hunting for loot: through suicide.

Crimson Days Rewards

Initially, the Guardians start as “couples” in a Crimson double, the new 2vs2 PvP event. Then they throw themselves into the abyss, killing themselves, effectively dying for each other.

It has been shown that the chance for loot is always the same, no matter how many kills players have achieved.

If you only want these Ghost shells, and do so as quickly as possible, you simply need to copy the fate of Romeo and Juliet and repeat it a few times. The players on the other side of the “Suicide Teams” have the same advantages, quickly grabbing loot. So if you encounter opponents using this tactic, don’t be surprised… it is madness, but there is method in it.

H1Z1 verspricht mehr Personal, schlauere Zombies

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In H1Z1 it promises to deliver larger teams and smarter zombies for the now two games.

Last week, the “Split” of H1Z1 caused quite a stir. H1Z1 has now become two separate games that are to be developed and sold separately.

Lead Designer Terrence Lee explained the background to the US site mmorpg. The “Split” into 2 games came organically. They developed H1Z1 and realized that the community was splitting into 2 camps. Some wanted an MMO with zombies, base building, and crafting – these are catered for with “Just Survive.” Others wanted a kind of eSport, an arena shooter, a spectacle. For them, they deliver “King of the Kill.”

The two games are to be managed by separate teams. They have recently hired many talented people and want to continue hiring to develop both games optimally.

H1Z1-Logo

For “Just Survive,” they promise smarter zombies: They have worked a lot on the AI, and the Screamer zombie should be arriving soon. Since they want to stay in Early Access with this part, they will develop it closely with the community.

The shooter “King of the Kill” is expected to be released this summer for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here they promise a competitive game that is fun to watch as well as to play. They want to give players the opportunity to host their own events and games. The developer Daybreak itself will host tournaments.

Shroud of the Avatar: 12.000 $ für ein Schloss – der Häusermarkt boomt

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar offers not only the story but also a sandbox where housing plays a very important role – because it is worth a lot of money.

Anyone who wants to own land and a house in SotA to utilize the housing system of the game must either have a lot of luck or a lot of money. Building plots in the game world are only available in limited numbers, so there is a limited number of construction sites. Early in the development of the game, it became clear that many gamers are interested in housing, which is why the team at Portalarium has placed great emphasis on this feature.

shroud of the avatar homes
Housing can be quite expensive

In the game – both in offline and online modes – it will be possible to earn possession certificates for land just like the houses. So you don’t have to spend real money if you want to use housing. However, since the building plots are limited, you can secure them in advance. But only if you buy possession certificates for land with real money – and that can be quite expensive.

shroud of the avatar dungeon entrance

The smallest building plot for a townhouse costs 100 US dollars. Depending on the size of the land – which also determines what type of house can be built on it – this goes up to a large building plot in a city for 2,100 US dollars! It should be noted that you don’t own a house yet, but only the land.

Additionally, it should be considered that you have to pay maintenance for the land. Depending on the size, fees in the in-game currency apply, which you have to pay monthly. If you can’t raise this money, you will lose your land – but not the possession certificate, so you can look for another free building plot. The maintenance costs, however, should be relatively easy to earn if you don’t want to own a huge property.

Now, of course, you want to have a house on your land. The costs for this range from a moderate 10 dollars for a small wooden hut to a whopping 12,000 dollars for a castle! But that’s still not all. Because you can also buy basement rooms at various depths for money, as well as decorations like fountains, statues, hedges, and more, all of which also cost something. If you think that’s it, you are mistaken.

Because you can even buy entire towns, which cost between 900 and 6,000 dollars depending on their size. The town will then be added to the overworld map. The buyer sets the rules, such as whether there should be open PvP and offers the plots for sale.

The housing of SotA is a goldmine

The housing system of Shroud of the Avatar is popular. Players are already concerned about whether there will still be free building plots after launch, as there are already numerous reservations. This has several reasons: On the one hand, many players find it important to have a house or a town in the game world to become a part of this world. They want to lead a kind of second life in Shroud of the Avatar and also own a virtual house that they can furnish according to their ideas and present to other players.

shroud of the Avatar Home interior

Another reason is that the value of the properties will increase once the game goes live. This is due to the limitation of building plots as well as the high demand for them. Players see their lands as an investment. It is quite possible that the value of the building plots will increase significantly over time and that they can eventually sell their land for a profit.

For Portalarium, the housing system is a goldmine through which they can generate revenue to further develop Shroud of the Avatar. It seems to be a win-win situation for everyone – except for those who believe that you can only participate in housing with real money because the chances of earning possession certificates and houses are so low. At least in offline mode, there will always be building plots available.

The Division will steal Destiny’s launch record

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming MMO shooter The Division aims to steal a title from Destiny according to Ubisoft.

When Destiny launched in 2014, it immediately took a title from Ubisoft. Its shooter “Watch Dogs” held the record for the most successful release of a new franchise until then. Destiny surpassed it and claimed the title for itself.

Now, two years later, it seems that Ubisoft wants to reclaim the title. At least that is what they are aiming for. During yesterday’s financial report, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemont stated: The Division exceeded all expectations in the closed beta. The Division is set to become one of the biggest launches of a new brand in the history of the video game industry.

Destiny launched on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360. The Division will not cater to the “old consoles” PS3 and Xbox 360 anymore, but it will be available for PC – and Xbox One and PS4 should now be in significantly more living rooms than back then. It could be exciting.

Destiny-Fire
Destiny currently still holds the place in the sun.

Destiny is said to have 25 million players who played for 3 billion hours

Interestingly, no one reveals the exact sales figures. Some journalists have already taken to the fun of describing Destiny’s success with as many words as possible without ever saying “This is how much we sold.” Back in 2014, it was said that games worth 500 million USD were “delivered.” The latest figure from yesterday indicates that Destiny has 25 million registered players who have spent 3 billion hours in the game.

Watch Dogs reportedly sold 4 million units in the first week.

There is always a lot of PR involved with such goals and figures. Nevertheless, it will be exciting to see if Ubisoft can reclaim the title of “best launch of a new franchise” after two years. The fact that the closed beta went so well is already a good sign that they have captured the players’ interest.

The Division: Das sind die 40 freischaltbaren Perks!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, there will be 40 unlockable perks that allow you to level up your character. We list them all.

The upcoming MMO shooter from Ubisoft will feature 40 unlockable perks. Unlike skills and talents, perks are permanently available once unlocked. These are essentially passive advantages. You do not need to adjust and equip them individually every time. Consequently, an agent of a higher level will always have advantages over an agent of a lower level.

Most perks increase the “comfort of players”; for example, experienced agents can carry not just 6 contaminated items simultaneously, but 9.

the-division-beta-agent

You unlock perks by completing missions and upgrading the wings in your operations base. So far, no perks have been tested in the alpha or closed beta. In total, there will be 40 perks: 13 in medicine, 12 in technology, and 15 in security.

The perks in the medicine tree of The Division:

  • Medkits (3x): Expands the medkit inventory by one slot (starting at 2, max: 5).
  • Protective Measures (3x): Increases virus protection by 1 (this allows you to enter areas of higher contamination. Without these perks, you would eventually die in these areas).
  • Canned Food: Increases the duration of canned food by ten seconds (canned food increases your healing).
  • Supplier: Once per hour, you can collect canned food, energy bars, water, and soda at the base.
  • Contamination Intel: Reveals all contaminated areas on the map.
  • Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by one slot.
  • Rigger: Once per hour, you can gather “fabrics”, a crafting material, in the medical wing.
  • Credit: Increases credit income by ten percent.
  • Talents: Opens an additional talent slot.

These passive traits are available in the technology tree

  • Inventory: Your inventory is expanded by 10 slots.
  • Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by another slot (see medicine tree).
  • Division Tech Materials: Transforms division tech crafting materials into other materials at the crafting station.
  • Engineer: Once per hour, you can gather another crafting material, “electronics”, in the tech wing.
  • Soda: Increases the effect duration by 10 seconds (reduces skill cooldown time by 30%).
  • Water: Increases the effect duration by 10 seconds (increases damage dealt to enemies).
  • Craftsman: Once per hour, you can gather a crafting material in the tech wing called “tools”.
  • Energy Bar: Increases the effect duration by 5 seconds (heals all negative status effects and protects against further effects for 5 seconds; with this perk, it is 10 seconds).
  • Resource Assessment: Reveals all division tech crafting nodes on the dark zone map.
  • Stat Switch: Allows the swapping of item stats at the recalibration station. (What exactly this is, is still unknown. However, it should be useful for endgame, probably to reroll rolls).
  • Dark Zone Funds: Increases the loot from dark zone currency by 10%.
  • Stash: Expands storage by 10 slots.

All perks in the security tree:

  • Experienced Agent: Increases XP from all activities by 10% (best unlocked early in the game).
  • Grenades: An additional slot for grenades.
  • Advanced Weaponry: Unlocks a vendor for advanced weapons in the security wing.
  • Combat Veteran: Increases XP gain from awards by 25 percent.
  • Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by another slot (see above).
  • Black Market Vendor: Unlocks purchases with dark zone currency in the operations base.
  • Clothes Vendor: In the operations base, you will find a clothing vendor.
  • Explosive Bullets: Increases the duration of explosive rounds by 10 seconds.
  • Gunsmith: Allows you to gather weapon parts (crafting materials) in the security wing once per hour.
  • Scavenger: Collects items from the scavenger box in the security wing once per hour.
  • Incendiary Bullets: Increases the duration of incendiary bullets by 10 seconds.
  • Special Ammo: Collects incendiary and explosive ammo in the supply line once per hour.
  • Shooting Range: Increases accuracy at greater distances.
  • Intel Discovery: Reveals all collectibles in a zone when all side missions and encounters have been completed.
  • Collector: Increases the loot rate by 15%.

You can also admire all perks in the following video:

Star Wars: Battlefront – Double XP for Valentine’s Weekend!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

The online shooter Star Wars Battlefront offers players a massive XP bonus this weekend, allowing them to unlock numerous bonuses faster.

Romantically hunt down the rebel scum in Star Wars Battlefront

Anyone who has been planning to advance their account’s progress in Star Wars: Battlefront should grab the gamepad or keyboard. For the weekend from February 12 to February 14, all XP gains in the shooter are doubled!

Players benefit from this twice, as the experience points also determine how many credits are awarded at the end of a match.

Star Wars Battlefront XP Bonus
Casually scooped up – Exceeded the target by almost 50%.

The reason for this bonus was the second “Community Mission” that EA launched last week. They asked players to complete at least 3 million daily challenges. The players weren’t fooled and surpassed the target with a relaxed 4.3 million completed personal missions.

My-MMO asks: Do you always use the same name in MMOs?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Today we want to know from you what names you give yourselves in MMOs. Is it always the same one? Is the name particularly important to you? Or do you decide spontaneously?

A Name Holds Much Power (and Money)

It’s Friday again, and that means it’s time to interview our readers (spoiler: that’s you!) with a question to reveal and discuss the various views of our community. Today, it’s all about a central aspect of character and account creation in MMOs: choosing the right name.

WoW Legion warrior furor
Didn’t get your favorite name? That’s when emotions can really boil over!

Players attribute a very special significance to character names, which even reflects in the view counts on Mein-MMO.de. Especially the news about character name reservations or issues with them (like with Blade & Soul) were extremely successful for us. Some might cynically say: If there’s stress with names, then that’s good for our site. This is not only true for us: When the name reservation for Black Desert started recently, the site was initially down: Too much traffic.

It’s therefore undeniable that names are important to players and often reflect part of their personality. But how do you handle it? Do you rush into a game and secure the one name you always use? Or do you choose anew or even randomly each time? Is it a fantasy name or a “famous” name from anime, video games, or a novel? Do you have much competition for your name? What do you associate with the special name you have chosen for yourself?

Cortyn says: Maybe I’m just seeing this through my rose-colored RPG glasses, but for me it’s usually not that important to have the same name in MMORPGs. Cortyn is (and nobody can deny this) the most beautiful name in the world, but it fits only selectively to the different races of fantasy worlds.

Blade and Soul Poharan
There was stress over name reservations, especially in Blade & Soul.

However, it’s different for me with “account names,” such as with Battle.net, SMITE or Steam. I get really grumpy if someone has already “snatched” my name, and I have to revert to another one.

This may sound strange at first, but “Cortyn” has simply become an important part of my personality. However, there is also the opposite case where I explicitly refrain from calling myself “as always” – especially when I don’t want to be recognized.

But enough about me, let’s get to you!

How important is it to you to snag the “right” name in a game? Would you even spend extra money just to reserve a name? Or do you not care about the whole thing and choose spontaneously or even use a “random” button? Let us know in the comments and discuss vigorously.

Destiny: Xur on 12.2. – What does he have today and where is he?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny on February 12, Xur arrives in the Tower. What items does he have on offer and where is he located?

Yesterday, the long wait came to an end. Bungie at least roughly presented a “Roadmap” for the near future, installed three pillars on how they want to develop the shooter further – with a PvE update, an expansion, and Destiny 2 now at least provides fixed points for the community to orient itself. In recent months, Destiny players have painfully missed such points of orientation.

Destiny-Bloody

But even the earliest date for fresh content is likely still a while away. That’s a downer. But let’s get to Xur now. Some things just don’t change.

All about Xur on February 12, 13, and 14 in Destiny

When does Xur arrive in the Tower and when does he leave?

Xur arrives on Friday, February 12, at 10:00 AM in the Tower. On Sunday, February 14, he will leave at 10:00 AM.

Where is Xur today in Destiny?

Xur is located in the Hangar.

Blizzard: WoW ist Ende 2015 “gewachsen”, Hearthstone sehr erfolgreich

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Activision has announced the new quarterly results for Blizzard games – and it reads relatively successful.

WoW accounts for less than 50% of total revenue

At regular intervals, Activision publishes various numbers and facts about its current video games. Since Blizzard is also part of the huge corporation, some words have also been lost about Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, and all the other titles – and they read extremely positively.

Although exact player numbers for World of Warcraft are no longer published – the last count was 5.5 million players in Q3 2015. Nevertheless, they speak of “growth” compared to last month. What this specifically means, however, is not answered.

Interestingly, more than half of Blizzard’s revenue comes from sources other than World of Warcraft for the first time – whether this means that WoW has lost even more players or that the other games have gained significantly remains open to interpretation. In connection with the “growth” of WoW, the latter option is probably more likely.

The charity pet Glowing Paws raised 7 million US dollars for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

WoW Demon Hunter female nightelf
Is WoW struggling? Over 50% of revenue comes from other games.

Especially Hearthstone seems to be doing wonderfully. With more than 40 million registered accounts, the card game scored points last year. Sales of the latest expansion “The League of Explorers” were also good, selling 20% more in the first 6 weeks than the previous adventure “Blackrock Mountain”.

For the closed beta of Overwatch, 8 million players signed up, and Diablo 3 managed to shine well even years after its release thanks to a “strong community” and its launch in China in 2015.

Overall, however, Activision has slightly fallen short of expectations. Analysts had previously estimated revenue at 2.2 billion dollars, Activision itself at 2.15 billion. In reality, however, it was “only” 2.12 billion dollars in revenue.

Destiny 2 announced for 2017, expansion coming in 2016, next PvE update in spring

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny the cat is finally out of the bag and talks about the PvE plans of the game. It’s about Destiny 2, the expansion in 2016, and the next patch.

This time in the Weekly Update there was the information that players have been waiting for so long.

Destiny 2, Major Expansion, Spring Update – here’s what’s next for Destiny

  • A PvE update is set to be released in the Spring. This increases the light level, brings new challenges for PvE players that should be replayable and new gear. (The calendar spring begins in mid-March and ends in mid-June.)
  • Later in the year, so still in 2016, a “major expansion” is planned. This would probably be analogous to “The Taken King.”
  • In 2017, a “full sequel” is supposed to be released. This would have to be what we know as Destiny 2.

In the coming weeks, Bungie wants to explain to Destiny players in more detail how it will continue and what they are planning. In this Weekly Update from Bungie, there were only these core data and a little more that probably doesn’t interest anyone much.

Destiny Tower Scarlet

Mein MMO thinks: There isn’t really much information yet, but at least there is a clear “roadmap” for how Destiny will continue. It seems that the reports were correct, Destiny 2 will be delayed, but other than a “major expansion”, there was really not much hoped for 2016.

So how do you see it? Are you skeptical after the long content drought or are you happy that you now know how it will continue?

In this context, we have some links for you to our articles:

An even closer date is on Friday, February 12, in the Tower: That’s when Xur will return. We will be there to report on Xur’s inventory.

Wild Terra: NPCs must stay outside – world populated only by players

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of the sandbox MMORPG Wild Terra have released a new trailer that showcases the world populated only by players.

Wild Terra could evolve into an MMO, as fans of the classic Ultima Online have long wished for. Because the sandbox aspect is the main focus here. The game world – which is recreated from server to server and thus has a different layout on each server – is only populated by the players. There are no NPCs.

wild terra new
From Survival Game to MMORPG

You start in the wilderness with only rags on your skin. Now it’s time to survive. You start by crafting tools so that you can mine resources with which you can craft better equipment. Additionally, you need a shelter to protect yourself from the dangers of the wild. While Wild Terra begins like a survival game, it evolves over time into a profound MMORPG. You join forces with other players or fight each other in open PvP. By working in teams, it is even possible to create entire cities. You farm food, collect ore in mines, and hunt animals.

You determine how the world evolves

Wild Terra MMORPG

Thus, you gradually build your own economy, which is entirely run by the players. Essentially, as a community, you determine everything that happens in the world. The developers only provide you with this world and the game system. Even wars are possible, where the rulers of various cities send their armies – consisting of players – with self-made war machines into battles against other cities.

Adventurers can also explore the world, delve into caves, and fight against the creatures that dwell there. What you make of your virtual life in Wild Terra is entirely up to you.

Check out the new trailer for the MMO to get an impression of what awaits you in the game. By the way, the developers are currently overhauling the graphics and want to introduce 3D models.

The martial arts MMORPG Blade and Soul has surpassed the two million player mark.

A little over a month after the release, Blade and Soul received its first content patch yesterday and broke the two million player mark in North America and Europe. NCSoft announced this on Twitter. Blade and Soul is a free-to-play game. However, they do not disclose how many of the two million have logged in recently or play regularly.

After initial issues, as they had to continuously add more servers, the developers seem to slowly have the player influx under control. The game has been available in South Korea for several years and has accumulated a wealth of content over the years that they want to gradually release in the West. Financially, the game is doing excellently in Asia.

Skillhandel in EVE Online ist live

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

A very controversial feature has now been introduced with an update to the space MMO EVE Online: skill trading.

CCP Games explains that skill trading should be seen as passing experience to other characters. This way, you can create a second hero and transfer some skill points to them, so you don’t have to start from scratch. Some characters in EVE Online have a surplus of skill points and don’t know what to do with them. According to the logic, the skill-rich could simply transfer them to the skill-poor.

What is EVE Online
Sell your surplus skill points

It has been possible to trade a character in the MMORPG over the bazaar for some time now. Heroes are sold with everything included. Now, trading skill points is added to this. So, anyone who collects a lot of money in the game but doesn’t get to acquire skill points can now simply buy them from other players. These players extract their unnecessary points and create so-called skill injectors, which they sell to other players. However, you cannot sell acquired skill points immediately, but only after a certain period of time.

EVE Online - Skills

To extract skill points, you must purchase special extractors in the New Eden Store for Aurum. Additionally, extractors are offered through markets and can be purchased there with ISK currency. Alternatively, you can get them directly through account management.

A skill extractor must be filled with 500,000 skill points. Injectors can also be filled with less depending on the amount of skill points a character has. The system is intended to promote new characters and protect the prestige associated with working on a hero. Additionally, skill trading is supposed to further develop the economy of EVE Online and introduce a new aspect.

So far, players appear rather skeptical, as they believe that especially newer players will become better too quickly without having to put in much effort. Whether this is truly the case and how well the system is received will be seen over time.

Destiny: Holt Euch zwei kostenlose Emotes

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny, you can acquire emotes for silver. However, these two gestures are completely free.

Destiny-Tess

Normally, Tess Everis digs deep into your pockets when you want to acquire emotes, meaning gestures, dances, etc. For this, she has set up a stand in the Tower, the Eververse. However, if you make the effort to walk towards the hangar to the bar, you can grab two free emotes.

With these emotes, you can express your approval or disapproval. Your Guardian performs corresponding head movements and subtle hand gestures.

Destiny-Emotes-Ja-

Not very spectacular, nothing that will blow you away; but you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. And: What you have, you have.

But before I type any more trivial sayings, I want to emphasize again that you obtain the gestures not from Tess, but at the hangar bar. I made the effort myself, as you can see in the title image – not to grab them, but of course only to show you the exact location. How selfless of me!

The following video shows the exact way:

Oh, woe to you if you say anything against my hairstyle (see title image)!

During the Crimson Week, there are currently more emotes to be obtained. However, these cost silver.

In the military MMO Armored Warfare, patch 0.13 is delayed by a few days. There will be a bonus weekend.

Wednesday is usually patch day for the two current titles developed by my.com and Obsidian. However, while Skyforge was patched as planned yesterday, Armored Warfare’s tanks remained cool. Due to technical problems, the update has been postponed to Monday or Tuesday.

The patch will include a new trader with Chinese tanks and this new map.

Nevertheless, there is a reason to take the vehicles of the tank MMO out over the weekend. On February 12, the “Grand Bear Invitational” is being held: Until February 14, all players will receive 100% more reputation. Those who play 5 games will also receive a 7-day 50% boost on credits and reputation.

On Saturday, between 6 PM and 9 PM, an additional 400% reputation bonus and 100% credit bonus will be applied.

Phantasy Star Online 2: Are secret agreements preventing the Western release?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

There is still no sign of Phantasy Star Online 2 – allegedly, secret contracts are responsible for preventing the game from reaching us.

PSO2 not on Steam due to a contract allegedly prohibiting it

The MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 has been around for several years now. Since its first playable version in 2012 and its arrival in Asia in 2014 – including an English translation – it has been quiet. There were even initial parts of an advertising campaign for the western market, but there has been no sign of a real release. The site tssz claims to have heard from a source why the western release has been off the table since then.

According to this, there is a contractual obligation between Sega Japan and a Chinese company that prohibits Sega from releasing Phantasy Star Online 2 on Steam. Since Steam is the main platform for Sega games, this could indeed be the reason why the MMO has still not appeared for us. Although it is also claimed that the duration of this contract is time-limited, no date is mentioned.

If there is any truth to this story, then we probably shouldn’t expect a western release of Phantasy Star Online 2 anytime soon – but fans have already slowly gotten used to that.

By the way: PSO 2 is said to be coming to PlayStation 4 in Asia soon.
