Monster Hunter Online: Fanübersetzung in vollem Gange – so sehen die Menüs auf Englisch aus

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Fans had set their minds on the English translation of Monster Hunter Online – and things are already happening!

Update: The English patch has now been released. Here we explain how to install it.

By Fans for Fans

Do you remember the announcement of a fan of Monster Hunter Online who wanted to translate the game into English with the help of volunteers? For a few days, there was silence around the project and many players feared that the project would fizzle out and be nothing more than a brief flare-up. But that was a mistake!

MHO Translation Mainmenu

Update: The images shown so far are currently only edited images to help players navigate in MHO. These are not images from a possible patch.

Slowly, things are starting to move in that direction. Aslind Samure, who started the fan translation project, has published some images that at least show a rough translation of the various game menus. Accordingly, it seems that at least the most important points will be translated soon to enable general gameplay, namely: main menu, system settings, and character screen.

But the first interaction possibilities, such as the guild and chat menus, have also been gradually translated. While all the images are still “Work in Progress”, they already suggest that the quality is likely to be much better than feared.

At least in the first screenshots, it looks reasonably solid and should help all players who do not associate Asian characters with anything more than the logo of a Chinese restaurant around the corner.

MHO Translation Keybindings

On his Facebook page, Samure states that work is indeed being done on the patch.

“I have often been asked about the English patch in the past few days. Don’t worry! We are working on it! We took a 3-day break when the open beta started, but now we are back at it full force!”

MHO Translation Guildscreen
Still a bit fragmented – but progress is being made!

A fan patch was necessary because, despite the considerable interest, there are currently no plans to port Monster Hunter Online to the West. However, the developers have agreed to collaborate with the dedicated fans and provide them with the necessary information so they can tackle the translation themselves.

Escape from Tarkov: Skill-System des MMO-Shooters orientiert sich an TESO

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of the upcoming online shooter Escape from Tarkov spoke about the RPG elements of the game, which will be similar to those in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Looking at the first trailer for Escape from Tarkov, one gets the impression that it is a regular online shooter. However, there is a lot of RPG in the game. The developers even compare the system to that of The Elder Scrolls Online. You have many skills that improve through use.

However, they only want to build on this system and also incorporate something of their own. The higher you train a skill, the more new tactical options open up for the player. Over time, you even unlock elite skills. However, it is necessary to remain fit in the skills you need. If a skill is not used for a while, it deteriorates again.

Escape from Tarkov
Trade and Clans

While it should be possible to fight alone through the streets of the city of Tarkov, there will be no offline mode. You will always encounter other players. Whether you interact with them is up to you. Additionally, trading plays an important role. You may trade with both other players and NPCs. Prices dynamically adjust to certain conditions, including changing currency, the condition of the NPC, and more. If you enjoy being in clans, you may also found a clan in Escape from Tarkov and participate in PvP battles and guild wars.

There is clearly much more in the online game Escape from Tarkov than just a shooter. At the beginning of the coming year, players should be able to convince themselves during a beta. Registrations for this beta can already be made on the official website of the MMO.

Bless Online: MMORPG amused with Christmas clip, had little to laugh in 2015

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

The Korean fantasy MMORPG Bless Online wishes all players a Merry Christmas in an unusual way. There wasn’t much to celebrate even in 2015.

Last year, Bless surprised with an eccentric Christmas card. This time, they showcase a quirky sense of humor – a hot Santa elf performs a magic trick while surrounded by goblins dressed as reindeer. I wonder how that will turn out?

http://youtu.be/4CKwH6EPhsI

Unfortunately, there isn’t much for Bless to celebrate in 2015 in the year-in-review. They completed their closed beta cycle and went through the second and third closed betas, but the testers’ verdict was rather mixed, leading them to decide to go back and revise the game systems before they want to try again.

At the moment, they are conducting small group focus tests away from the public. Bless is designed as an MMORPG that focuses on two factions and a strong PvP system.

War Rage: Hyperrealistisches Belagerungs-MMO?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Realistic action in ancient China? War Rage offers an exciting concept between RPG and real-time strategy.

When the Shogun Knocks at the Door …

Looking ahead to the next MMO year, there are primarily releases of MOBAs and hero shooters on the horizon, while other genres are left a bit short. However, for those who enjoy large, realistic battles and have a penchant for ancient China, 2016 could hold a real hidden gem.

War Rage Combat
Great tactician or tough brawler? In War Rage, you have to be both.

War Rage is the game from developer NetEase and lives up to its name. Players take control of a commander and must command large troop formations during the Ming Dynasty in ancient China to achieve victory over their enemies. The game is supposed to be a mix of real-time strategy combined with RPG elements.

In addition to placing and commanding entire troop formations, the general must also be led into battle, fighting on the front lines (and should urgently do so).

In a nearly 15-minute video, one of the developers walks through some gameplay scenes and explains it all – unfortunately in Chinese. However, it is sufficient for a first impression, although one should keep in mind that this is a very early version of the game.

Several publishers in the West have already expressed interest in bringing the game to our regions. However, the developers want to focus first on the Chinese version and make it as “perfect as possible.” This includes various PvP modes and level systems to give troops and commanders more power. Ultimately, they aim to see the game on consoles as well – but there is still a lot of work ahead.

Mein-MMO states: Numerous cool details, such as the crouching of different rows of archers or the precise swordsmanship, will likely excite many fans of this era. However, whether the game is suitable for the masses remains to be seen, as from the first impression, the action on the screen appears somewhat chaotic and confusing. However, War Rage is also not yet in a public test, so one should probably wait for a later version to get a clearer picture of it.

Paragon: 4 Minuten Gameplay des MOBA-Shooters (PC, PS4)

The new MOBA Paragon has been presented with much fanfare. Now, four minutes of actual gameplay from the alpha can be seen.

With a spectacular trailer, the new MOBA with shooter elements Paragon for the Playstation 4 was announced. It is also set to come to PC. It looked great in trailers, but how is it in actual gameplay? A video now shows 4 minutes from the alpha.

During the presentation, the presenters repeatedly say that everything is still quite raw. They have full understanding for anyone who wants to check it out later. By then, Paragon will surely be more “polished.”

Polished or not – there are impressions of the gameplay: a travel mode (a kind of sprint), a card system to adjust abilities, and a jungle (They must be crazy!) is also included in the surprise package.

Star Citizen: Only those who spent $10,000 can join this club

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

That in the upcoming space MMO Star Citizen you can sink a lot of money, is already evident from the prices for the spaceships. Now there is also access to an exclusive in-game club.

Star Citizen has to finance itself because the game is being developed based on extremely ambitious plans. Spaceships that you will be able to fly in the game can already cost 1,000 US dollars. Many fans think it is worth it, as they plan to spend a lot of time on their hobby.

Star Citizen Shooter
The Club for the wealthy Star Citizen players

However, it can still get more expensive. Because those who purchased a special backer package for 10,000 US dollars in 2012 gain access to an exclusive club in the game, the Million Mile High Club. This club is located in the persistent universe of the game. Those who did not pay the 10,000 dollars are not allowed in unless invited by a member. For the club, the developers have flexed their graphical muscles and offer visuals that you currently only see in AAA shooters. In the club, you meet like-minded individuals, relax, swap stories, and tell each other jokes. It is a place where you can recover from adventures and just catch your breath.

Whether it is worth it, however, each person must decide for themselves. After all, you do not pay 10,000 dollars just for access to the club. This was merely part of the respective package. However, there might also be other ways to gain access to the Million Mile High Club later. Perhaps Cloud Imperium Games will then sell access separately, although hopefully not for 10,000 dollars. Maybe you can also earn access through some achievements that you work for. It would certainly be a shame if new players never got to see the Million Mile High Club.

World of Warships: Slanting Commercial – Instead of thick pipes, there are now tight mushrooms

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Japanese humor combined with commercials? A holy alliance for World of Warships.

A little fun is a must …

That the publisher Wargaming adapts quite well to the respective country in which it wants to promote its products has been proven several times. Particularly the Japanese clip for World of Tanks caused quite a stir at the time and also brought some chuckles here in the West.

Now Wargaming is also promoting “World of Warships” in Japan with a suitable commercial that of course strikes the same humorous tone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjOnAEHqsks

You only understand the little gag at the end if you’ve already seen the other spot – not a silly idea to link various advertisements with a small story.

World of Warships might gain popularity in the coming weeks, especially in Japan, as an anime update is introduced, which transfers characters and ships from the anime series “Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova” into the game.

Destiny: Dawn Strike and Raid Challenge on December 22nd

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny there is a new Nightfall strike and a challenge mode in the raid just before Christmas. Who challenges the players?

The rest of the year is pretty clear in Destiny: On December 29th, the Sparrow Racing League ends in the morning, and in the evening of the 29th, Lord Saladin arrives in the Tower and there will be a Year End Iron Banner. In the new year, it will continue first with a “small event,” before new content comes to the players.

Two questions are still open:

  • Yes, is there something for Christmas?
  • Does the quest with the 50 calcified fragments continue?

Maybe we will get answers today.

Destiny-The-Undying-Mind-Zick

Nightfall Strike on 22.12. is The Undying Mind

The Nightfall strike this week is “The Undying Mind” – a strike that was previously exclusive to PlayStation.

Modifiers are:

  • Bring it On – Enemies do not flinch
  • Brawler – Guardians deal increased damage in melee
  • Match Game – You should pay even more attention than usual to fight shielded enemies with matching elemental damage
  • Burn – Abilities have a longer cooldown

Today on 22.12., the Black Spindle mission is available. Lost to the Light is the daily mission.

Destiny-Warpriest

The Raid challenge is the Warpriest

This week, the Warpriest is active again as a challenge in challenge mode. How to defeat the Warpriest as a challenge mode in the raid and what loot awaits you can be read in this article.

After some statements on reddit that the challenge was different this week, the first streamers have now confirmed: The challenge is exactly the same as the first time the Warpriest was active. So it can also be completed by players who finished it the first time. And there will be rewards again.

T3 Boss in the Hall of Oryx is Balwur

The Tier-3 boss in the Hall of Oryx this week is the witch Balwur.

Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade – Neuer Trailer zeigt mehr blutige Action

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade has been expanded with a new battlefield – a frosty atmosphere reigns.

Directly from the closed Alpha

In the 41st millennium, there is only war. Well, and game development, obviously. But it is quite bloody. A first look at the Alpha of Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade has been available in recent weeks, and now there is a brand new trailer. It is not only quite bloody, but also shows a new arctic map where Space Marines and their slightly chaotic opponents battle it out.

The followers of the Emperor are not particularly delicate with each other, as on the Pegasus Station, they often shoot downed enemies in the face. Blood for the Blood God… and so on.

More info for spectators – more mass appeal?

Blizzard is currently working with community member Ahli to fundamentally revise the existing spectator feature and its corresponding interface. A hint of this was already seen during BlizzCon when the matches were presented there.

Hots New Observer Interface
More info at a glance – or is it too cluttered?

However, anyone who wants to try out the new interface will still have to manually install it quite cumbersome – but this is indeed supported by Blizzard (they advertise it on their site) to gather feedback. You can find a guide on how to install the new features on the official Blizzard homepage.

New Legendary Skin?

Lastly, there is a first look at a new skin for the bony warrior Leoric. Apparently, this is a legendary skin, as not only numerous animations are updated, but also a new voice is used. Additionally, there are unique graphics when using his abilities. In this case, the skin will probably cost a hefty €15 – similar to the infected Tychus. A release date for this is still pending.

In this week’s Destiny, videos featuring Titans as the main characters were particularly highlighted as the videos of the week. The Titans of Destiny showcase what they’re capable of.

There are only two videos from Bungie this time – the actual “Video of the Week” is not available in Germany due to GEMA conflicts. In second place, this Titan makes it after a wild chase with the enemies. To survive, he employs the “staggering dove” technique, which he owes to the Dämmerbruch Garrison. We have already introduced the Titan’s best friend.

Armored Warfare verschenkt Panzer, legt sich mit World of Tanks an, bringt neues Update

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

At Armored Warfare, they are generous at Christmas, discreetly asking for a little support while also dissing the competition of World of Tanks.

At Christmas, Armored Warfare gives every player a Type 59 tank and celebrates it joyfully. One could also say: Armored Warfare goes all out.

Following the motto “In competitive games, you have to do so much for a piece, but we want such legendary tanks to be played, so we gift one to everyone who logs in from December 18 to January 3.”

It is kindly stated: “The old generation of tank games” … clearly pointed at whom it targets: World of Tanks.

Why can such tanks be given away in Armored Warfare while they can’t in other games? Well, the Type 59 tank is historically rooted in the 1950s. Other military MMOs focus on World War II. Therefore, the Type 59 tank is “at the end of the food chain,” a killer endgame machine.

In Armored Warfare, you start only at the end of World War II; the Type 59 tank is a premium tier 3 model – in the category of “advanced beginner.” However, it comes with a rank 5 crew, which is the highest level. But of course: It can be given away.

Patch 0.12 turns every tank into a “Premium” tank … for an extra fee

Last week, an update 0.12 was released. The most important change: For an extra fee of gold (the real money currency), players can turn any “normal” tank of tier 3 or higher into a “combat-experienced tank,” which then grants more credit points, reputation, and the crew also gets more exp per match. Normally, such bonuses are reserved for real money tanks.

Starry-Night-Armored-Warfare

This is certainly interesting for Armored Warfare, as resources to unlock new tanks do come over time, but credits, the money for new tanks, are often scarce.

Additionally, 3 new PvE missions (Hydra, Sapphire, and Starry Night) have been introduced, and the spawning behavior of the previous ones has been slightly modified. Previously, PvE missions were sometimes a bit like “Memory,” a criticism from our review, now there is chaos: Why isn’t there a tank coming? One always used to come. What 0.12 brought otherwise, you can read here in the patch notes for Armored Warfare.

Armored Warfare is our MMO of the month December.

Respec: World of Darkness, Crowfall und Shroud of the Avatar

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The end of the year is approaching. This is reason enough for some indie developers to take a look at 2016 and explain what fans of games like World of Darkness, Crowfall, or Shroud of the Avatar can look forward to.

World of Darkness

world-of-darkness

After the planned MMORPG based on World of Darkness was cancelled and the brand was sold to Paradox, fans had high hopes that a new game would be developed. And that is exactly what will happen, as Paradox announced. However, it is still unclear what type of PC game it will be.

The chances for an MMORPG are slim, but not entirely hopeless. The company is currently considering whether it can use the already developed assets: More information on this will be available at a later date.

Also in the works is a new pen-and-paper RPG with a new backstory for World of Darkness, as well as a trading card game and new novels.

Project Gorgon
Project Gorgon Characters

The highly anticipated MMORPG Project Gorgon is set to launch as an early access game on Steam next year. The developers need to make some adjustments to the game, primarily to facilitate onboarding. They are wisely utilizing the funds from their Kickstarter campaign; however, they want to visually enhance the game, which can only be achieved if they generate enough revenue during the early access phase. Fans will have to wait a bit longer for Project Gorgon.

More about the game: Sandbox MMORPG Project: Gorgon successfully funded via Kickstarter

Crowfall

Crowfall Into the Breach

The developers of the highly interesting PvP MMORPG Crowfall are currently teasing the community with some hints about a major upcoming reveal. The hint: “Its offer was simple: Eternal life for eternal service.”

There has been speculation that a permadeath system could be introduced, but the developers have since denied this. One can look forward to what this major revelation for the MMORPG Crowfall could be. Additionally, siege wars are expected to be introduced in February.

Shroud of the Avatar
Shroud of the Avatar Character

Portalarium, the development studio behind the upcoming selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar, provided an outlook on the upcoming pre-alpha phases. Particularly interesting is that by the end of March, the offline mode of the game is expected to launch.

From then on, they will begin implementing features exclusive to this mode, ensuring that SotA also plays like a true single-player RPG upon release. Furthermore, the developers have stated that the alpha phase is not expected to start before the second quarter of 2016.

Darkfall: Unholy Wars

Darkfall Online

The developers of the MMORPG Darkfall: Unholy Wars are currently contemplating whether to switch the business model of the online game to freemium. The subscription will not be abolished but only offered as optional, as many MMOs do currently. Those who take out a subscription will enjoy some advantages, while those who wish to play for free can do so with some limitations. Whether this will happen is not yet certain. They want to wait for community feedback on this proposal first.

Despite Christmas, we will again check next week what has been happening with the indie MMOs.

Diablo 3: When will patch 2.4 come to Xbox One and Playstation 4? And what’s included?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the hack-and-slash Diablo 3, Blizzard has now commented on the consoles Xbox One and Playstation 4. When will they get the new patch 2.4?

Diablo 3 is for many a typical PC title, but the console players on Xbox One and Playstation 4 are also hunting in Sanctuary for loot, albeit without seasons and but with more cheating issues. With all the discussions around the new patch and season 5, they often feel left out. Now there are clear answers from Blizzard via Twitter.

The patch 2.4 will also be released on Playstation 4 and Xbox One and “Basically include everything that the PC patch brings.” Except for the seasons. There will still be no seasons for consoles – even though it was considered at one point.

An exact date has not yet been announced, but the patch is supposed to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on the same day.

At the moment, it is assumed that it will be in the first week of January.

Destiny: MIDA Multi-Tool – Are 9 out of 10 players using it wrong?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the MIDA Multi-Tool is a strong PvP weapon when used correctly.

Destiny-MIDA

The MIDA Multi-Tool was one of the most popular weapons in Year 1. Just a few weeks ago, the exotic scout rifle is now available in a Year 2 version. MIDA Multi-Tool is highly praised for the additional speed and overview it gives players. It is considered a favorite weapon. But are players simply aiming wrong with it? And where should they aim?

The sights in Destiny sometimes drive players crazy. Somehow, there are countless different targeting systems, and the exotic weapons have their own. It shouldn’t be that hard: find the crosshair, place the head of the opponent in the center, and then pull the trigger. Right?

In a video, a YouTuber explains: 90% of you are using the MIDA Multi-Tool incorrectly. You think, you need to place the arrow on the opponent’s face to land a critical hit. But that’s wrong! Even though you occasionally land a critical hit that way, the actual trick is: you have to put a little hat on them with the arrow.

For Crits: Just put a hat on the players

This is because the aiming device, the crosshair, of the MIDA Multi-Tool was modeled after a “real sight” from our world, and it works like that – with many arrows and stuff.

The YouTuber said: I read this somewhere. (The tip originally comes from an article on the fan site Planet Destiny.)  I didn’t want to believe it at first, but it’s true – it works. Since I learned this, I can reliably score critical hits, making the MIDA a 4 shots-per-kill weapon.

MMO: Die 5 größten Enttäuschungen im Jahr 2015

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 15 minutes

The MMO year had its ups and downs. Today we focus on the downs. What disappointed us the most in 2015?

Creating MMOs and MMORPGs is an extremely difficult business. There are often problems, conflicts with players, something gets delayed or just doesn’t work. Today we look back at the year 2015: What were the major disappointments?

Flop 5: Archeage – Sandbox runs into the sand

ArcheAge, it’s hard to believe today, was the big thing in September 2014. New hot sandbox game with PvP, crafting, naval combat, social systems – super exciting!

But by the end of the year, cracks started to show. The hype turned out to be a flash in the pan, and it only smoldered after a series of blunders and issues from the Western publisher Trion Worlds. By the end of 2014, the Korea port only earned mockery and schadenfreude. The errors made were too absurd, and the cash shop was too brazen. Without test servers, development was pushed ahead blindly to strike while the iron was hot: The consequences were disastrous.

ArcheAge Black Pearl 3

In 2015, Trion Worlds said things would be different. They claimed to have understood and planned a fresh start with ArcheAge. The old team of producer and community manager moved on to Devilian – with fresh faces, ArcheAge was supposed to go to work, but even the first actions seemed unfortunate. The new producer wanted to do it “too well”, gifting returning players a dolphin for which others had paid dearly. Then some promises of being lenient with the cash shop could not be held (Korea was causing stress) and somehow the first half of the year went pretty much into the sand.

For the second half of the year, they wanted to strike back with a server merger and important updates, but by then ArcheAge had already run out of steam, and interest in the game had faded.

Overall, ArcheAge has become a dark chapter in the MMO history of the last 2 years due to the many problems with the port, handling the community, and with the cash shop. It’s still a shame because the game itself has so much potential and fans who can overlook all that are still occupied and happy.

It remains a great “What if?” – What if a publisher had patiently and quietly brought “ArcheAge” to market instead of hastily chasing the hype that slipped like sand through their fingers? Currently, people almost only talk about ArcheAge as “We have learned from our mistakes” and as “We don’t want to do it like ArcheAge anymore.” – Also a legacy.

Paladins: Patch brings eSports suitability!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The latest Paladins update has the pro players cheering with joy – eSports is practically underway!

Build Your Own Decks

The latest update of Paladins ensures that the hero shooter from HiRez is unstoppable on its way to eSports. After weeks of only being able to play the “Siege” mode, where primarily the basic functionality was tested, players can now create their own decks. But what does this mean for the game?

Coincidence? Barely Possible!

The Beta Patch 10 of Paladins allows players to create fully independent decks now. Until now, players have always drawn completely random cards during matches as long as they were in their collection. Now every player can set their own deck for each character and thus determine 100% which cards they will receive at any given time in the game. This opens the door for eSports and competitive tournaments, and the community is already actively working on strategies and deck variants in the official forum to make the most of the various characters.

Paladins Siege Turret
From now on, it gets competitive – free choice of decks!

Since HiRez doesn’t do things by halves, they are also giving the starting signal for the first official tournament. While only founders and other beta players will have access to it – after all, the game is not yet released – there is already $100,000 at stake.

“This is our signal to competitive players: We need you to make Paladins an eSport!” says the official announcement.

The first tournament is set to take place in spring 2016.
