Destiny: For a handful of strange coins – Which class does Xur prefer, which does he disadvantage?

Shadow Market Trader Xur in Destiny can sell six armor pieces for each class and a total of twelve weapons. But which parts have not been included yet? And which class does he hate the most? Hunters, Warlocks or Titans?

Every Friday, players pilgrimage to Xur. What he can sell is known due to the Xur glitches for quite some time. But what items are still missing now? Which items do players long for the most? Which exotic armor piece has he had the most often? Which one not at all? And which class has the most reason to hate Xur?

What armor is still missing for the Titan?

Titans have almost everything. Only a helmet is still missing. The “An Insurmountable Skullfort.” The other five armor pieces for Titans were not distributed very evenly. Five times in 14 weeks he had the healing armor available. The “Helm of Saint-14” only once so far and that was in the fourth week when not many knew what this guy actually does.

However, helmets are particularly sought after, to reach level 30. Because they are not available at the new Iron Banner and also in the raid they only drop from the final boss on hard. Therefore, Titans certainly have reason to complain.

Conclusion: 3 out of 5 angry fists and a little slap in the direction of Xur.

Destiny-Skullfort-Titan-Helmet

What armor is still missing for the Hunters?

None. Hunters he loves to cuddle with. Already in the first four weeks all three helmets and also a chest armor were available. And in the previous week, he had the last missing Hunter Exotic with the gloves on offer. Only the “Knucklehead Radar” is what some Hunters might wish for again, as it was only available once and then in the third week.

Conclusion: 0 out of 5 drawn knives. Xur loves you, dear Hunters.

Destiny

What is still missing for the Warlocks in Xur’s repertoire?

The Warlocks are still missing a helmet and a chest armor. Xur has never had the “Skull of Dire Ahamkara” for the helmet, and the “Heart of Praxic Fire” has been missing for a long time for the chest armor. Overall, Warlocks really have every reason to hate Xur.

In the first four weeks, he gave them the “Sunbreakers” three times. By now they have received the “Void Fang Vestments” a sixth time, a chest armor. Six out of fourteen possible times. That’s really bitter. The two helmets that actually appeared in between were only available once each. And in the last six weeks, there were five times the “Void Fang Vestments” and once the Sunbreakers. Mean!

Conclusion: 5 out of 5 Warlocks pray that the sun never shines for Xur again.

Destiny-Heart-of-Praxic-Fire

What exotic weapons have never been available with Xur, even though he can have them?

Only three weapons are still missing from Xur. Remarkably few, considering that he can sell twelve and has only been there fourteen times. The odds look quite different.

The most sought after weapon is “Thunderlord”, an exotic machine gun with arc damage that many would like to have. “Hard Light” is an auto rifle but is probably overshadowed by the Suros Regime, which Xur has sold twice.

The “Universal Remote” is also still missing, an exotic shotgun and likely also relatively sought after.

Besides the “Thunderlord”, many players certainly wish for the “Gjallarhorn” to return. Xur has only had it available once, right in the second week. If only one had struck back then, many a guardian in Destiny says today.

Destiny-ThunderLord

Conclusion: Xur will appear once more before “Darkness Looms” when new exotic weapons and armor will be introduced. Whether Xur will be as important in this new world of Destiny as he is now and has been in the past three and a half months remains to be seen. Depending on which class you belong to, you might be more or less happy to see him again. But his allure remains: For a handful of strange coins, he may have helped some to reach the all-important level 30 – others had their pockets full, and there was simply nothing on offer.

Bless Online looks like an action MMO in the new gameplay trailer – AAA Asia MMOs coming in 2015, 2016, and 2017

The Korean MMO Bless Online now showcases its action roots in the combat system with a new gameplay trailer.

In 2015 and 2016, the “three big” Bs are Bless Online, Black Desert, and Blade and Soul: Triple-A Asia MMOs pushing into the West. Blade and Soul is likely to come in 2015, then in early 2016 the sand park MMO Black Desert, and later in 2016 or 2017 perhaps Bless Online.

However, nothing is known about a West release for Bless: A publisher for the West has not yet been determined; only for China and Taiwan has one been positioned alongside its home country of South Korea. While Blade and Soul has been on the market in Asia for several years and Black Desert is set to release in Korea at the end of the year, Bless is still in an earlier stage of development.

Bless Classes

Bless will now go into the second closed beta in Korea from December 16 to 22, bringing a second faction, introducing fresh classes such as the mage and the assassin, raising the level cap to 36, and presenting the new “end-game” dungeon in a trailer.

It is already evident here that the game has its roots in action combat: a trend in Asia MMOs, which can also be seen in the only currently existing Asia AAA MMO in the West, Tera Rising. Fast combos, lots of numbers, “flashy” effects, and a very unique art style. In Tera , development was significantly slowed due to a prolonged legal dispute, hopefully it will be different for Bless and Black Desert.

Skyforge: Meet the Berserker and his Chainsaw Sword

In the god MMO Skyforge , the spotlight is now on the Berserker, the man for the really tough stuff.

In Skyforge, you will start as an Immortal and then slowly work your way up to becoming a god. Along the way, you will take on various roles, which correspond to the “classes.” In the past, the Paladin or the Cryomancer have been introduced.

This week, it’s the “Berserker’s” turn, who fulfills the role of a “melee DPS” with some off-tank qualities in MMO terms. He follows the legends of his ancestors from the Viking era: the more intense it gets, the more he enters a battle frenzy and the more dangerous he becomes. Well, the times of the Vikings are long gone, and the Berserker uses a kind of chainsaw sword in Skyforge. Nice.

Have fun with the trailer! If you want to learn more about Skyforge and the classes within it, we recommend our article about the somewhat complex class system.

Hearthstone: Three new class cards for Goblins vs Gnomes: Druid, Hunter, Shaman

For the upcoming expansion of Hearthstone “Goblins vs Gnomes”, the values of three more class cards have been revealed.

Hearthstone-Cackle

The Shaman receives a new 2-mana spell called “Crackle” that deals 3-6 damage and causes an overload point. This is again a very RNG-dependent card, but extremely powerful. Best case is a Fireball for 2 mana, and worst case is 3 damage for 2 mana – still quite strong. It only becomes problematic when something needs to be taken down with Lightning and it still stands afterward. The crux of relying on RNG.

Hearthstone-Steamwheedle-Sniper

The Hunter receives an interesting 2-mana minion called the Steamwheedle Sniper with 2/3 stats. As long as this minion is active, the Hunter can apply their class ability to any minion. It’s like having a double Mage ping. By the way, this effect only counts for the Hunter. If the Sniper is taken over by other classes, nothing happens.

Hearthstone-Druid-of-the-Fang

The Druid receives the currently most enigmatic card in the package. A 5-mana minion with 4/4 stats that mutates into a 7/7 minion when the Druid has a beast. The card is called “Druid of the Fang”, which could probably be translated in German as “Druide des Giftzahns”. “Mutate” means: The minion then turns into the beast form (likely a giant serpent) and cannot be reverted back to 4/4 even with a Silence. Beasts currently play little to no role in Druid decks. Therefore, some suspect that beast forms from the standard 5-mana Druid drop “Druid of the Claw” will be declared beasts with GvG. This has already happened to some constructs from the base game, which with the expansion “Goblins vs Gnomes” will become mechs in Hearthstone.

Destiny: The Secret Sixth Chest in the Raid “The Glass Chamber”

In Destiny, many legends and mysteries revolve around the last secret chest in the raid “The Glass Vault.” Where is the 6th treasure chest? And does it even exist?

The Guardians and the Secret of the Sixth Chest

Bungie is famous for hiding Easter eggs and secrets in their games. And the Destiny community is crazy about decoding them. Shortly after the release, players decoded ciphers and entered coordinates to find out where, for instance, the Tower was geographically located in our world.

However, most energy in Destiny has been spent since release trying to discover another secret somewhere in the raid “The Glass Vault.” Despite hundreds of thousands of players already wandering through the halls, it is suspected that something hidden still lurks somewhere.

So far, five chests have been found, one of which is quite hidden and only appears when the Templar is defeated before he can teleport. Now, there’s nothing spectacular in this “Templar” chest, but at least the Guardians found something. The spirit of discovery is awakened. This has only fueled conspiracy theories.
http://youtu.be/Hyea2C0Iph0

Is This Wall Drawing the Key?

There are videos of Guardians closely examining a wall drawing on Venus and suspecting that in it (“If you tilt it and turn it 180 degrees!”) is a secret sign from the developers, seeing a map of the raid in Destiny and believing that the sixth chest is marked here.

Repeatedly, a quote from a Bungie employee is brought up: “The Guardians have not seen everything in the Glass Vault yet!” This is interpreted as: “There are still secret treasures!”
This quote originates from the first weeks when the Guardians were not even in the “Hard Mode” yet and had actually still not seen everything.
http://youtu.be/k8Z5rchGBH4

“Come with me! I’ll show you a secret chest!

Destiny
Does the guy know where the sixth chest is?

Bungie understands the cult around the supposedly last chest perfectly. A Guardian shared on reddit the story of how on Thanksgiving evening in the USA, DeeJ, Bungie’s community manager, took him and four other Guardians on a trip to the Glass Vault in his free time.

At the end of the raid, when Atheon was defeated, DeeJ then said: “Come with me! I’ll show you the secret chest!” DeeJ shot into the deep abyss behind Atheon and said: “There’s the chest!” One hesitated, while the other already jumped to his safe death. Meanwhile, DeeJ commented: “The guy believes everything.”

An overview of what can be found in the five “previously real” chests in Destiny can be found in our article about the loot table in “The Glass Vault.”

H1Z1: Atmospheric fan trailer prepares for Early Access

A fan has now created a trailer for the upcoming Early Access of H1Z1.

For months, we heard little from the survival MMO H1Z1. Now a tweet has awakened the dead: It should start soon. The H1Z1 community is also getting active.

A YouTuber has created a trailer to get the community really excited. For this, he used elements and footage from the MMO and mixed in a bit from the Liam Neeson movie “The Grey”. The community obviously likes the little video, which begins with voices from the radio reporting on a disaster that we too will soon finally experience.

Additionally, there is a small gallery of screenshots, mostly landscape images, from H1Z1. This is even officially from the H1Z1 community manager.

Hearthstone: Bolvar or Mal’Ganis? – WoW celebrities are coming for ‘Goblins vs. Gnome’

In Hearthstone , the first expansion “Goblins vs Gnomes” is now announcing some prominent faces. The legendary Paladin card Bolvar or the Warlock Legendary Mal’Ganis, fans are voting on which should be shown first.

In Hearthstone, there is a vote on which card’s stats should be revealed beforehand. This time, two prominent figures from World of Warcraft are up for selection. As the Paladin Legendary, Bolvar Fordragon is slated, who had a rapid rise in Wrath of the Lich King. For Warlocks, things are getting serious, as they will be fielding Mal’Ganis, one of the classic villains from Warcraft 3.

Hearthstone mastermind Ben Brode already rejoiced: Both were among his five favorite cards. He could only win in this vote.

After it seemed at Blizzcon that mainly mechs and constructs would be coming to Hearthstone, thematically fitting with goblins or gnomes, the last revealed cards have shown that the focus is indeed broader than initially assumed.

The vote is running on Twitter. Recently, there were minor issues.

SWTOR: Exciting Facts and Figures about Star Wars: The Old Republic

Because it seems to be in vogue, the developers of “Star Wars: The Old Republic” have now released a graphic that deals with various numbers and facts about the sci-fi MMO.

Since the launch of the game nearly three years ago, over 57 million characters have been created, of which 17 million are Jedi alone. But a few questions that I have always asked are also answered: The length of all in-game cinematics (including quest dialogues, of course) amounts to a whopping 104 hours – this gives you an idea of the work that goes into a German localization and why it can sometimes be a bit bumpy. Some interesting interpretations also arise from the distribution of the individual classes. Jedi Knights and -Sages are (along with their Sith counterparts) the most popular, followed by the Bounty Hunter. In last place are the Agents/Smugglers.

But enough of the words, even if you are not among the million active players, a look at the following graphic is sure to be interesting, which contains a whole lot of additional information:

World of Warcraft: Where can I find Rare Mounts in Warlords of Draenor?

In the latest expansion of World of Warcraft, “Warlords of Draenor”, Blizzard has of course not missed the chance to bring some new mounts into the game. As usual, some of them are quite easy to obtain, while others require either a large group, a lot of perseverance, or simply an oversized portion of luck. Rare mounts, indeed.

We have compiled the current information here so that you can hunt and catch some of these animals yourself.

As of our current knowledge, there are 7 mounts that can only be obtained from certain enemies, starting with “Garn Nighthowler”.

Where is Garn Nighthowler?

WoW Garn Nighthowler

This oversized wolf is located in the far west of Frostfire Ridge and can be hunted by “Nok-Karosh.” However, do not hope to take down this monster alone, as it has over 10 million HP, makes quick work of any cloth wearer, and is also surrounded by numerous smaller wolves, all of which have over 2 million HP. A full group with tank and healer is advisable, but a larger raid group could also be a wise decision. Also important to know is that the mount drops only once – not everyone who participated in the fight automatically gets it!

So be careful not to join a shady group whose leader is the “Loot Master” and crafts the mount for themselves.

If you have organized a few friends, it only takes a few hours – Nok-Karosh reappears just a few minutes after his death (15-30 minutes) and can then be defeated again until all group members have the mount – those who want can even sell it at the auction house…

Where are the other rare WoD mounts?

The situation is a bit more difficult with the other 6, the following animals can be found in the vastness of Draenor:

  • Pathrunner in Shadowmoon Valley
  • Mudhide in Talador
  • Nakk in Nagrand
  • Luk’hok in Nagrand
  • Gorok in Frostfire Ridge
  • Ramthaw in Gorgrond

These 6 are all “rare” enemies, and their respawn time is between 20 and 30 hours – a good portion of luck or perseverance is therefore required. However, the advantage is that all players involved in the fight are guaranteed to receive the mount, regardless of how much damage they inflict or which faction they belong to.

It is also important to note that Draenor is divided into several instances and phases – depending on your personal quest progress, it may be that you cannot see certain rare enemies at all, while others appear twice. Each phase has its own rare spawn timer; unfortunately, it is difficult to check which one you are currently in.

Although you can often deal with most of these enemies on your own, it is a kind gesture to announce in the general channel that the respective enemy is standing in front of you – you lose nothing by doing so, and perhaps someone will return the favor when you want to catch one of the other animals.

But enough words, afterward, we have for you the graphic from “Obtain”, a user from wowhead, which shows all the spawn points of the coveted animals (and their names), as well as a video from mmo-champion where you can see the individual mounts in action – have fun collecting and good luck hunting!

Destiny: Xur, Agent of the Nine, Offer and Location on 28.11.

In Destiny Xur, the Agent of the Nine, appeared on Friday, November 28, at the Tower and is once again offering a selection of exotic armor and weapons. What does the black market vendor have on offer this time? What does he have with him?

What will Xur sell with the new DLC in Destiny?

Today is the second to last time Xur will appear at the Tower before the “Darkness Looms” DLC arrives. Then either his offerings will change and he will have new exotic weapons and armor with him or the Guardians will quickly lose interest in him, as there will be new annihilation weapons, new, even cooler armor pieces that the DLC will bring.

And whether Xur is allowed to sell them, whether Bungie gives him the license for it? One does not know. Like so much about him, it is mysterious.

Xur: The Fashion Designer of Destiny

We know, however, that Xur is the most powerful man in Destiny. Like a fashion designer, he determines what people wear. Especially with weapons, his word is law. Although his offering is theoretically huge: six armor pieces per class and numerous weapons are on offer, but in practice, he is a diva.

For Titans, he sold the healing armor three times in a row, for Warlocks in the last five weeks four times the Voidfang Vestments. And “Heart of Praxic Fire,” which so many desire, he hasn’t had at all. He just didn’t feel like it. Good that the seemingly same armors were always available in a slightly different variant.

Today is Black Friday in the USA. Although Bungie said that Xur will remain unimpressed. The Guardians in reddit or other forums still hope that he will carry a special offer in Destiny.

All about Xur, Agent of the Nine, on November 28.

When does Xur come to the Tower and how long does he stay in Destiny?

Xur comes to the Tower on Friday, November 28, at 10:00 AM and stays until Sunday, November 30, also at 10:00 AM German time.

Where is Xur? What is his location?

Xur is with the Crucible vendors. You can recognize his location in this video from our friends at Ziro.tv.

What does Xur have on offer this time for Titans, Hunters, Warlocks? And what weapon is he selling?

For Titans, he is once again offering the Healing Armor. He parts with it for 13 strange coins. The Healing Armor is now available for the fifth time in the seventh week. This week it has 130 Discipline, which is slightly worse than the last two times, but still a good roll.

Destiny-Heilrüstung-2811

For Hunters, the Crest of Alpha Lupi (The Crest of Alpha Lupi) is also available for 13 strange coins. He last had it on offer two weeks ago. This time it has 128 Strength, which is above average. However, the last time it was slightly stronger.

Destiny-Wappen-von-Alpha-Lupi-2811

For Warlocks, Xur is again offering the Voidfang Vestments (the Voidfang Vestments). This is now the sixth time Xur has them with him. This is the fifth time within six weeks. It has 124 Strength and is just above average but still better than the last times.

Destiny-Leere-Fangzahn-Kleidung-2811


And as a weapon and certainly as a highlight, the exotic fusion rifle Plan C with Arc Damage. Xur wants 17 strange coins for it. He hasn’t had that one before.

Destiny-Plan-C

He is also selling a glove engram for 23 Light particles. Here, one of three different pairs of gloves can be obtained: Sunbreakers for Warlocks, No Backup Plans for Titans, and Young Ahkamara’s Spine for Hunters.


And one word in our own regard: Today, since 10 AM, we had a DDOS attack on our website, just when we wanted to update the information about Xur. The DDOS attack lasted until about 4:30 PM. Around 10:20 AM, we then added the “bare” information in a comment. We could still do that, much more was not possible.

We apologize that the images and videos came much later today than usual. It was simply not in our power to change that.

We know that many of you come directly to our website at 10 AM on Fridays to check what Xur has brought in Destiny. We hope that you cultivate and maintain this excellent habit.

Hearthstone: 4 new “Goblins vs Gnomes” cards – Anti-Deathrattle cards included

Four more cards have been revealed at Hearthstone . They will find their way into the game with the expansion “Goblins vs Gnomes” in December. This time, there are mainly cards that directly affect Deathrattle decks.

And again, 24 hours have passed and four new cards are known: This time there are class cards for Warlock, Paladin, and Hunter, as well as a minion for everyone. Especially the Deathrattle decks might not be too happy to see two of the cards presented here. These decks are currently built around cards like the Gravekeeper and are known to provide a lot of “value” (i.e. impact per mana point). Some effective Hunter decks might suffer because of this. But since the Hunter seems to be intended as a Deathrattle class, they are getting another card today that strengthens Deathrattle decks.

Deathrattle decks will hate these two cards

The Paladin receives a “Scarlet Purifier“, a 3-mana minion with 4/3 stats. The special thing about it: As a Battlecry, it deals 2 damage to all minions that have a “Deathrattle” effect.

And as a neutral minion with an offer: The “Lil’ Exorcist“, a 3-mana minion with stats of 2/3 and Taunt. It gains +1/+1 for each opponent that has a Deathrattle effect. Essentially the anti-Gravekeeper.

Class card for Hunter and Warlock

The Hunter gets a Pro-Rattle card. A two-mana spell “Feign Death” that triggers all Deathrattle effects on your own minions. This allows for some special effects to be possible. Especially in combination with cards like Sylvanas or Cairne Bloodhoof, it can provide real “value.”

The Warlock can look forward to a new spell that should be quite familiar to all Warlocks. “Felheart” costs 5 mana and deals 5 damage to an opponent. However, if the spell is cast on a friendly demon, it receives a buff of +5/+5. The spell already exists in a smaller version called “Demonfire”, where you can simply replace each 5 with a 2.

Civilization Online has the most beautiful character generation music ever

The Korean Civilization Online has now introduced its character generator and shines with the typical Civilization/The Lion King music.

Civilization Online is a book with, let’s say, five and a half seals. For us Westerners, it is quite hard to imagine what XLGames, the creators of ArcheAge, are currently working on. A sort of “What if we were a single character in Civilization?” MMO.

Civ-Online1

At the moment, the game is still in a relatively early stage of development, currently in the second closed beta, and there are problems: Everyone wants to be Egyptians. However, they never win because they only build and do not wage war. Meanwhile, war has always been the only way to win. But that will be taken care of. Later, alternative win conditions like pyramid building are supposed to be added to the game.

The game is a unique blend of MMORPG and turn-based strategy. The individual player must team up with others from their “civilization” and collaborate to achieve something.

The Asia MMO specialist Steparu has now dug up some videos from character creation. The outstanding music immediately stands out here.

The game is currently in its second closed beta, to which 50,000 players were invited. We in the West might have to wait two or three years to enjoy the game, if at all. They do not want to distribute the game themselves abroad but rather seek partners for that. So, there will be plenty of time to engage with the gameplay. But for now: Character creation.

War Thunder is set to appear on Nvidia Shield Tablet in PC version – hardly any compromises made

The MMO War Thunder is set to arrive on the Nvidia Shield Tablet soon. The special thing is: According to the developer, it will be almost the same version as on PC or consoles.

In a conversation with Shacknews, Alexander Trifonov, a developer at Gaijin, discusses the planned port of War Thunder to the Nvidia Shield Tablet. Essentially, it will be the same version. You can simply continue playing on the go with your existing PC account. You will even fly together with all Linux, PS4, Mac, and PC players on the same server.

Ten years ago we were still in the Stone Age

Trifonov described the development in the mobile sector as fantastic. If you go back ten years, you would find that we were in the Stone Age compared to today: “Who would have thought just a few years ago that you could play such complex and beautiful games like War Thunder on a device that fits in your pocket?”

Tablet players would only have to make a few sacrifices: The simulation mode will be omitted, as it probably requires a keyboard to operate. And there will be no cockpit mode, as a view from the cockpit would not be advantageous on a small display.

War Thunder

Tablet and VR glasses, War Thunder takes unusual paths

War Thunder is not only taking new paths with the tablet, but has also embraced the virtual reality idea at Gaijin. In the fight against the competitor World of Tanks, which is significantly larger, they seem to be focusing on innovative ideas.

There is no release date for War Thunder on the Nvidia Shield Tablet yet. We have addressed the topic of Tablets and MMOs in this article.

World of Warcraft: Caution with Dance Guide, Strategy Guide and Retraining Certificate

In World of Warcraft, caution is advised when players use the ultimate dance guide, the Hearthstone strategy guide, or the retraining certificate with their followers. What do these items do and why are they so treacherous?

What do the ultimate dance guide and the Hearthstone strategy guide do?

A small addition to our great follower guide in WoW. In recent days, we have received questions about what the three special follower items are intended for.

The ultimate dance guide” gives a follower the ability “Dancer” and counteracts danger zones. This allows followers to counter three opposing abilities instead of just one or two.

The “Hearthstone strategy guide” teaches the ability “Hearthstone Pro“, which increases the experience gained by group members by 35%.

But beware: Both items replace a randomly selected trait of the follower with this new trait (these are the “lower” skills among the followers).

Therefore, one should only do this with followers whose traits are not critical. So not with the only blacksmith when one needs them urgently. There is currently no “safety query or warning.”

Both items can be obtained randomly through relatively rare missions. (Pay attention to the name of the dance teacher during the dance mission.)

Certificate rerolls everything except Bodyguard

The third item “retraining certificate for followers” is even more extreme. The certificate rerolls all traits and abilities – except “Bodyguard”. That remains intact and cannot be learned randomly.

Anyone who has gotten into trouble through use and has lost an important trait in their roster: With the tavern at level 2, one follower can be recruited each week, for which one can choose either a trait or an ability.

Destiny: Exotic weapons Thorn and Bad Karma are to be strengthened before December 9th

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the two exotic weapons “Dorn” and “Bad Juju” are set to be strengthened before the release of the DLC “Darkness Looms” on December 9.

It was announced months ago, that the two exotic weapons were considered too weak and that they wanted to strengthen them. Since then, players with these two guns in their arsenal have been waiting for good news. Since they can be obtained through bounties, they are among some. So far in vain. Even worse: In the last patch, Dorn was unintentionally further weakened.

But that could change soon. The community manager DeeJ has been hinting for some time that it could happen soon, but has never really committed. That is now different. A user on Twitter clearly asked him, “Yes or No? Will Dorn and Bad Juju be strengthened before December 9?” and the answer was just as clear: Yes.

Probably not only these two exotic weapons will be upgraded, there are also some others on the list, like the Vex Mythoclast or the Red Death. However, they were not explicitly mentioned in the question.

As this week due to Thanksgiving probably won’t see much happening, and the DLC is coming next week, it could be that next Tuesday is the day. But again, there is nothing concrete.

ArcheAge: Apex are back; bizarre forum post causes excitement

In the sandbox MMO ArcheAge, the function with the Apex has been restored and an extremely bizarre forum post is causing a stir.

In recent days the APEX were disabled. An “exploit” was discovered and made the rounds. This time it was supposedly related to the posting system in ArcheAge and has since been fixed. This exploit, like the one before it, allowed players to obtain unlimited credits, the in-game currency, from a 10-euro item. The Apex can now be purchased and redeemed again.

However, a forum post is causing excitement, which has not yet been confirmed or commented on by Trion Worlds, so it could also be a fake. A player posts an alleged message from a Trion Worlds GM. The message states: The account is banned. The player “owes” Trion Worlds 43 APEX. The account will only be released again when he has settled this debt, meaning he must actually purchase the 43 used APEX in the store. Apparently, this is the answer to a “plea for mercy” to lift a ban.

The user admits to having used the latest APEX exploit, referring to it as “creative exploitation of the game mechanics” and complains that it is now happening to him, while exploiters before him got away with 24-hour bans.

Many fans in the forum were almost exploding with joy over this unusual “method”, which they feel is justified. While others call it “extortion”. On Reddit, it is even said that Trion Worlds is “taking accounts hostage”.

Whether there is any truth to this method is still unknown at the moment. It certainly doesn’t sound very likely; that would be quite absurd. It is probably a clever trolling attempt to push the accusation against Trion Worlds that they are only after money to the extreme. It should be clarified in the next few hours.

Black Desert: New Screens Just Before the Open Beta

The Korean sandbox MMORPG Black Desert has opened the box ahead of the next closed beta and released a whole series of screenshots to the public.

Daum, the Korean publisher of Black Desert, knows the advantages of its game – and besides, this way they don’t have to translate anything: They simply post a lot of screenshots of Black Desert and hope that fans in the West will take the bait. And the cunning tactic works.

The screenshots, as beautifully put by Massively, the rear end of a pack donkey, the rear end of a girl, a goblin with a basket full of fruits, knights with spiky hair, fish, murder, and sunsets: Everything you would expect from an Asian sandbox MMORPG. We have a selection for you. And if you want to read something about Black Desert the old-school way, we recommend our preview. Moreover, after the open beta, the release will start and the first tests in Europe should also begin shortly after.

Skyforge is giving away beta keys and prizes through a Minesweeper-like mini-game

The god MMO Skyforge is giving away beta keys through a mini-game on the homepage.

“At least it’s something different,” writes massively about the mini-game happening on the Skyforge homepage. A first attempt turns out to be quite depressing. After a simple registration, we click desperately twice on an opening image that we take for the actual game, but nothing happens (nasty fake), until we then discover the link “Play Now”. This leads to a glitchy mini-game that probably could not withstand yesterday’s rush. You then click on fields, hoping to hit the best one, a good blue field, but we hit twice and then a kind of “Minesweeper-that’s-it” bomb and that’s probably it. “Come back tomorrow,” it says.

Well, if you want to try your luck, here’s the mini-game. You can win beta keys, headsets, and graphics cards. The game runs until December 23. At some point in that time or shortly thereafter, the next beta should start anyway. You can find more about Skyforge on our theme page and in the coming days on mein-mmo.de.
