Overwatch: Zenyatta Guide and Tips

0
0


If you enjoy playing a Support role, but you find yourself getting frustrated by the typically low damage output in this category, we think there's a lot you'll enjoy about playing Zenyatta. While his primary purpose is to buff and debuff battlefield targets, this robotic healer is capable of dishing out a surprising amount of damage when he's caught out by the enemy.



The community continues to find ever-more imaginative ways to make a virtue out of Zenyatta's unique Abilities, but here are all the best tips we've found for this Hero so far.
  • Prioritise tanks with Orb of Discord, and help your teammates push through the frontlines first. After this, you should all find it a lot easier to deal with the squishier opponents who are making up the rest of the team.
  • Watch out for messages on your screen that indicate the availability of a new target for your Discord Orb. Also keep in mind that while a Discord target is marked on the map for you, the rest of your team do not gain this advantage. Either communicate this intel to them, or be ready to deal with the marked man yourself.
  • Orb of Discord cannot be applied to a target if they have a shield blocking the path of the projectile. Neither can you put multiple Orbs of Discord on a single target if you have another Zenyatta on the team.
  • Zenyatta has an extremely low health pool, and next to nothing in the way of mobility options. Stay well back at all times and keep the Support coming from the rear.
  • As mentioned above, your volley of damage Orbs do less damage individually. Make sure you charge them up to the maximum level before letting rip into an enemy's face.
  • Note that you only need a single unit of ammo left in your weapon to charge up a complete stack of five orbs for this volley shot.
  • You can only have one Orb of Harmony and one Orb of Discord active at any one time, so choose your targets very carefully, and don't forget to move each Orb onto a new target when required to do so.
  • Focus Orb of Harmony on your DPS teammates, or on your tank if they are about to go screaming into the thick of battle. Outside of combat they can typically keep themselves alive, but once a fracas starts they'll need your help.

Overwatch: Mercy Guide and Tips

0
0

Mercy is an Overwatch healer who takes quite some time to master but can make an incredible difference in battle - particularly when she finds a solid teammate to work with. Like Lucio, her weapon allows her to provide a friendly target with one of two different buffs. One of the beams it creates will heal her target nice and quickly over time, while the other instead boosts the target's damage output for as long as the beam is rolling. She's also the only Hero in Overwatch capable of resurrecting fallen comrades, thanks to her exceptionally powerful Ultimate ability.



There are a few more tried and tested tricks of the trade that will help you make a big impact when playing Mercy.
  • Check the Resurrect indicator before hitting the Q button. It will show you how many of your friends will be brought back to life - you might be able to get more of them back if you head forwards just a little bit more! Do keep in mind that they may not benefit from being brought back to life, right where they'd been obliterated just moments before...
  • No matter which direction you face, the beam from Mercy's weapon will still connect with its target. This allows you to keep scoping out local threats while still charging forwards with your friend and providing your exceptional buff.
  • Resurrect is extremely powerful, but it will only land on a target that has been dead for 10 seconds or less, and is within 15 metres of Mercy. After the ten seconds is up, they will simply pop back into life at the spawn room.
  • When it comes to your buff beams, you have a very brief window of opportunity to catch up with your friendly target if you break line of sight. If the beam disconnects for too long, you'll have to get it charged up and firing all over again.
  • The healing element of the Caduceus Staff is not just good for healing up lost health points, it can also be used to restore your target's shield and armour elements. This can be an incredible way of keeping a Reinhardt - for example - in the game for longer.
  • While you will spend the majority of your time wielding the Caduceus Staff, if there are no allies in sight and you can't fly to anyone, keep the pistol out. It might just save your life, although you need to be ready to switch over as soon as you have teammates nearby. You'll be much more use aiding them in battle then firing your own gun.

Chronicle of Elyria Has No Mage or Magic in Its World

0
0
Soulbound Studio's Chronicle of Elyria is a fantasy MMORPG that will not have magic stuff, according to the developer in a recent FAQ. Magic only exists in rumors in the gaming world and no one has seen it for hundreds of years. So it's a bit of shame to those who like to cast fireballs, ice bolts, or dark magic.

>> Exclusive Chronicles of Elyria Interview: Tons of Gameplay Details Are Here


 
And in case you also expect to play elf, gnome or wolverine characters, you will be disappointed, too. There are only humanoid races in the world of Chronicle of Elyria. However, characters in different regions will get distinct features.
 

Thus in the deserts you may find darker skinned characters who can withstand heat and are better equipped for a lack of water. In a mountainous region where Elyrians have been mining for years you may find short and squat characters who have a natural ability to see better in low light.

 


The FAQ also confirms the game has no PvE server.
 

There will not be a PvE server, nor will certain regions of the map (cities for example) be off-limits for PvP. That being said, based on the sheer number of people plus NPC guards in cities, we believe they will be a mostly safe place. Our Bounty system, with financial repercussions for crimes, is another thing to help combat griefing while still allowing for whole world PvP.

 
So the game is not a typical high fantasy game. If you are fine with the facts that you can't play mage characters and non-human races, I think the game is still worth your time.

Clash Royale: Best Giant Deck and Strategy for Arena 3-4

0
0
Many players in Arena 3 are asking about how to get to Arena 4. Today I want to share this deck which helped me successfully push from Arena 3 to Arena 4. I have won 5-10 games in a row with it. It has got me some amazing victories.
 

Card Analysis
Spear Goblins – Solid card. Can distract Prince/Mini P.E.K.K.A. Great at supporting the giant, especially after you’ve seen your opponent waste their Arrows/Fireball on offence or on your minions.
 
Witch– The main damage dealer of this deck. You will want to use her on offense most of the time but sometimes she is very useful at dealing with Minions, Prince, P.E.K.K.A,… Don’t play her next to your Tower If your opponent has either Rocket, Fireball or Lightning Spell.
 
Giant– The main tanker of this deck. Sometimes you can use his on defense too for soaking damage and protect your support troops.
 
Prince – I usually use him to push on the other tower after I have a good counter push. If unattended a prince coupled with spear goblins will easily clear a tower.
 
Goblin Hut – Its Spear Goblins can distract P.E.K.K.A, Prince and much more. If the enemy sends a tank towards your way, and it’s ignoring your tower, a Goblin Horde will be spawned during the time it takes for the tank to die and you can counter with your own tank.
 
Baby Dragon – It’s an air troop that can target air and ground units and does area damage. Also It’s a good tank that can be paired up with anything.
 
Minions– They are extremely effective to destroy enemy Balloons/Giant, as the Balloon/Giant only targets buildings.
 
Bomber– It is useful to defend high hitpoints troops against hordes of low health ground enemies, e.g protecting Giants against an opposing Skeleton Army.

 
Tips:
1. Keep Bomber and Baby Dragon to take out Skeleton Armies and Minion Horde.
2. If your opponents have Musketeer, use Baby Dragon along with Arena Tower to take her down.
3. Witch and Goblin Hut are mainly used to distract enemies. So you had better drop Witch at the very back of your Towers.
4. Drop troops after enemies crossing river, so that we can have Arena help with defense.
5. Use Goblin/Minion to finish Giant/Hog Rider. After that, make your huge push with Pricne.
 
 
Battle Strategy:
In the most of time, your opponents’ king tower level or card level are higher than you. It’s wise for you playing defensively.
 
In the beginning, drop Goblins/Minions once you load up to see which lane your opponents are going to push. After that, make sure you have at least 5 elixir to deal with emergencies and use Prince to counter push.
 

Clash Royale: Best Giant + Witch Deck and Strategy for Arena 4-5

0
0
Now many new beginners meet level 6/7 or even level 8 players in Arena 4. Since defense is the best to attack, I am going to recommend a strong defensive deck to you guys.
 

Card Analysis:
 
Giant – Giant serves as your biggest tank or your best defensive option. Paired with a Witch/Bomber it can quickly take down a tower. In the last few seconds of the game, place Giant in front of tower can distract your enemies.
 
 
Knight – The second tank of this Deck. It’s used for defense mostly. I use it to counter Prince/Valkyrie/Musketeer. It can also be used in a push. Pair it up with a Witch and 1000’s of damage can be done if being ignored.
 
Witch – The main card of this Deck. It can target both ground and air Troops, perfect for taking out the Minion Horde and barbarians.
 
Arrows – It can quickly deal with skeleton armies, Minion Hordes, Spear Goblins, and Goblin Barrels.
 
Fireball – Since spawner decks are common in this arena it’s better to have Fireball. Be sure to hit the wave of barbarians coming through the Barbarian Hut along with the crown tower. Also send this when you are going for the all in final push.
 
Barbarians – It is a defensive card and never put them on offense. In very situational instances once the Barbarians finish off the hog, you can counter push with Giant/Knight + Barbarians.
 
Bomber  It is just like a Walking Bomb Tower, making it a perfect counter to hordes of troops.
 
Archers – Archers is nice supporting troops, targeting both air and ground troops.
 
 
Battle Strategy:
If the opponent makes a move before you hit 10 Elixir, it is always better to drop whatever offensive strat you had and to counterplay for positive Elixir trades.
At the start of a match, if you have Giant in hand, pick a lane and drop him behind your King tower the second your elixir hits 10. Drop supporting troops behind Giant to make a huge push. Droop low cost troops to finish your opponents’ high DPS troops after they targeting your arena tower.

Overwatch Guide: How to Counter/Evade Each Hero's Ultimate Ability

0
0

This guide is originally posted by Overwatch player felicefairy on the Chinese fansite NGA. I think it's good guide for new players and translate it to English.
 
Bastion
Bastion's tank mode is powerful (205 damage per hit) but only lasts 8 seconds. Besides, it takes 1 sec to initiate the tank mode. Bastion usually stays in the back of the team (especially in defense turn), and you can tell when he's using the ultimate ability by listening to the voice. So frontline heroes have enough time to step off Bastion's sight or look for cover, and snipers can judge Bastion's location by listening to his voice, looking for a chance to snipe him. Tank mode grants Bastion additional 150 armors, and that means sniper can still kill Bastion in tank mode if he's not in his full health.
 
D.Va
You can tell D.Va is using Self-Destruct from her speaking. Besides, there's a very obvious visual change on the mech when it's going to go off. You have 5 seconds to react.
 
So D.Va can use Self-Destruct in 3 ways: normal self destruction, boost to mid-air and initiate self destruction (when the mech lands on the ground it explodes), and boost into enemy crowd and initiate self destruction. Remember this and keep your eye opened.
 
Genji
Genji's Dragonblade lasts 8 seconds and deals 120 damage with each cut. He gets enhanced move speed during the 8 secs so it’s not easy for someone to run away in front of Genji. The smartest choice is, when you hear Genji is going to use Dragonblade, to find your teammates. If you are at frontline, try your best to fall back to where the group is. When you know the enemy team has Genji, remember to save your ultimate for Genji.
 
Hanzo
It takes 1 second to shoot the Dragonstrike, or in other words, the dragon appear 1 second after Hanzo press Q button. It deals 125 damage per second and it penetrates all forms of barriers and walls. It’s easy to evade, simply by listening what Hanzo says. You can also tell where the dragon comes from by listening to the dragon roar. Besides, the dragon is pretty slow and it gives you enough time to move away when you see it.
 
Junkrat
It takes 1 second to send out his RIP-Tire. The tire has 100 health itself, it can go to higher place, it can turn, and it deals 600 damage when explodes. However its health drops to 0 (destroyed) it won’t explode.

For most heroes, RIP-Tire can be countered. By listening to Junkrat’s voice you can predict his location and if you happen to be a highly mobile hero, you can easily kill Junkrat when he’s still rolling his tire to find a target. On the other hand, the tire makes big noise and it’s easy to know how far it is. Try to take cover in the corner and avoid stay in the crowd. In pro or semi-pro team, a player may choose to sacrifice himself to protect the others when there’s not possible to escape from the tire.
 
Lucio
Lucio’s Sound Barrier provide 600 points of shield for 5 secs (damage from the enemy will make the shield broken faster). If your DPS is lower than 120, or you are not having your teammates’ support, you shouldn’t waste your bullets shooting at the shield, and instead, you try to avoid direct contact when Lucio’s shield is still on.
  
McCree
It’s not easy to know whether McCree is using Deadeye by listening to his voice unless you are very focused. So usually you choose to predict whether he’s going to use Deadeye and find a cover. But if you do hear the voice of Deadeye and you are not having a good place to hide, you can try to counter Deadeye with Genji’s Deflect, D.Va’s Defense Matrix, or Roadhog Chain Hook.
 
Mei
If you stay in the range of Mei’s Blizzard for 2 seconds, you will be completed frozen and take 97 damage. When you see Mei throws out a snowball you try to predict where it goes and stay 9 yards away from the snowball. If you have teleport-like ability you can evade pretty easily.

Dual Universe Is a Sandbox MMO Allows You to Script Your Own Spaceships

0
0
Developed by Novaquark, Dual Universe is a voxel-based sandbox MMO focuses on player-driven economy and exploration. Different areas in the game world are seamlessly connected and you can traverse in the space or colonize the planets with other players or by your own. The most intriguing feature, in my opinion, is the possibility to script your spaceship (of course first you need some knowledge of script), contructs, and even AI to make them unique.


 
By script the spaceships and construct, you can modify their control or navigation system, weapon system, and AI abilities to enhance your gameplay. With voxel technology, the freedom of building things is unlimited and if you don't like script, you can still have fun and fair play in the game.


 
The game's economy is affected by the messes. Initiate a market exchange, harvest resources and sell them, start an industrial empire, do marketing and logistic, it's up to you how to want to be involved in the economy system.
 
The game will start alpha test in the second half of 2016, a public beta in the second half of 2017 and a final release in 2018. Hopefully the game doesn't disappoint those who are waiting for it — we've seen many ambitious projects get abandoned before the development is completed.

Blade & Soul: GMs Obtained Unreleased Weapons in the Game Illegally

0
0
A report from the Blade & Soul community about the unreleased items (the image below) in the game raised a lot of attention recently. It was first speculated to be obtained through hacking tools by the community. The game's Community Manager Rukkirii responded yesterday, claiming that these unreleased items were in the game because the GMs used NCsoft's tool "in an unauthorized manner".
 


Rukkirii wrote at the forum:
Last night, we received reports that there were characters in game that had items that aren’t available in our game. We found that two of our support agents were using our tools in an unauthorized manner. The items no longer exist on the accounts and we will be resolving the staff matter appropriately and internally. It is against our internal policy for items to be created for personal characters.
 
We've also received a report regarding a potential item duplication issue and while we take every matter seriously, with a deeper look, we discovered that the video was recorded on an illegal server. We caution players to be careful of downloading unofficial programs. We do appreciate the community reports and will investigate accordingly.
 
We hope this clarifies what we've experienced today. Please continue to send potentially game breaking or game concern issues to us directly.
 
The clarification raised new concern, as some players were worried about the GM's going rogue and NCsoft's failing on detecting such behavior. Feel free to share your opinions of this topic in comment.

Nemesis

Lore about Nemesis

Of arrogance and pride, the Greeks have but one word: hubris. It is a crime against Gods and Men, but a crime many commit with impunity. Even mighty Zeus is guilty. But when punishment is due, there is one from whom even the God of Thunder shrinks. She is Nemesis, the red-washed blade of Divine Retribution.

Recall the tale of Narcissus, so taken by his own beauty. Proudly, his visage was flaunted, to the detriment of all. Until, at last, he was led to a pond of crystal hue where his own reflection enraptured him. So long did he remain to gaze upon this self-image that hunger claimed his life. Thus does Nemesis respond to hubris. It is consequence equal to the crime.

Now, behold the war torn land, beset by the wrath of wanton Gods filling the air with blood and boasts. This battlefield is stained with hubris. Unwittingly, these foolish warriors have summoned their greatest adversary. Nemesis has come!

No longer will foul deeds engender success, no hoard of wealth held in undeserving hands, no legends told when falsely earned. Nemesis will unleash a tide of retribution. Punishment for the crime of hubris is death.

ASTA Announces a New Race and the End of Open Beta

0
0
WEBZEN announced the official commercial release of its Asian fantasy MMORPG ASTA – The War of Tears and Winds, marking the end of the open beta phase today.

ASTA is a classic fantasy MMORPG with a variety of options for races, classes and characters, along with classic MMO features like PVP battlegrounds and guild battles, a broad crafting system, scenarios and quests with rich lore, a player-driven economy and rewarding dungeons.



WEBZEN is rolling out ASTA's first expansion, titled "Myth I: Wrath of the Berserkers", introducing some brand-new dungeons and zones as well as the new race and class. The update is scheduled to go live on the 31st of May.

The Berserker is a new melee class, only available to characters of the Raksa race. Berserkers inflict damage by swinging their double weapons, such as swords or axes, with great power and speed. They exploit any gap left by a defeated enemy to mount their next attack. Using continuous attacks such as "Bloodstain", rather than powerful single blows, Berserkers are well capable of turning a situation in their favour. Berserkers can also use Combat Art Skills to enhance their own strength, and Soul Skills to improve the strength of the summoned creature "Cursed Doll".

More information on the new expansion and race are available on the ASTA site.

The game is now available for early access for $29/$59/$99/$147. You can learn more about the game at the official site.

First Round of Warcraft Movie Reviews Indicate the Film Is Not That Good

0
0


Last time, we posted some early screening reviews of the highly-anticipated Warcraft movie, and people who had a chance to watch the film gave it a mediocre score. Maybe you just thought they are not professional media, but with increasing reviews coming out, you may start to feel that maybe the film is not that good.

The Wrap:

Critics throw the term "soulless corporate filmmaking" around with abandon, but movies like "Warcraft" really manage to redefine the term. A film adaptation of the hugely popular MMORPG (that’s Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) "World of Warcraft," this latest video game adaptation ranks near the bottom of the deadly genre. Imagine “Battlefield Earth” without the verve, or the unintentional comedy, and you’ve got "Warcraft."



The Hollywood Reporter

Combining primitive textures (hides and sun-bleached bones) with the glowing whoosh of magical elements, Warcraft is a big-screen, 3D game that the viewer enters, to the martial beats of the elegantly ominous score by Ramin Djawadi (composer of the Game of Thrones theme). Its use of multiple cameras to film the motion capture performers in the same take as those playing human characters is one of the ways that it’s new. And then there’s Durotan’s eyes, and Garona’s grit. Dramatically and technically, Warcraft gives the concept of “hybrid” new punch.

Kotaku

Rather than tapping into the goofy core that makes a game like World of Warcraft interesting, the Warcraft movie aims for grittiness, missing the mark quite a bit. It just doesn’t work. The lore is too campy. This is a world where a mage’s most popular spell transforms his enemies into sheep, yet Warcraft acts as if it’s a green-screen version of Game of Thrones. At my theater, the biggest laughs came not from the occasional bouts of slapstick comedy but from the miserable archmages of Dalaran, whose CGI-enhanced eyes look especially absurd when you’re supposed to take them seriously.

Variety

The epic battle at the center of “Warcraft” isn’t the clash between humans and orcs. That’s just what takes up roughly two hours of screen time. The true conflict comes from filmmakers trying to tell a story with soul and struggling against the inherent ridiculousness of the commodity they’re working with. It shouldn’t take a mage to foresee that this pricey and preposterous adaptation of an online gaming phenomenon was preordained for artistic mediocrity.

Clash Royale: Best Hog Rider Decks and Strategies for Arena 4-7 (Part 1)

0
0
There is no doubt that Hog Rider is the most popular card in Arena 4-8. So today I am going to collect all the Hog Rider decks available for you. Hope one of the decks can help you to climb to higher arena.


Tips:
1. Start with Mini P.E.K.K.A /Hog Rider+ Skeletons/Fire Spirits combo.
2. If your opponents have Barbarians to counter Hog Rider push, then put Valkyrie first and place Hog Rider + Skeletons behind (Hog Rider can make Valkyrie move faster).
3. After taking the lead, you should keep pressuring on another lane.
4. If your opponents want to push both lane, drop Mini Horde in the middle so that they can be separated.
5. Keep in mind that every troop has its deployment time!

This deck aims to play defensivly early in the game. You want to wait until your opponent plays their units so you can play your counter unit and slowly build up an elixer advantage over your opponent. Many of the cards in this deck are able to very easily trade up with other ground units due to the wide variety of high single target, Air and AOE damaging units. The way you will often find you win games is through trading units constantly the first minute of the game until your effecient units finally over power your opponent and you can drop a prince in the opposite lane and sneak a free tower.

The main strategy is to use Hog Rider combo (Hog Rider + Minions/Valkyrie) to deal damages to your opponent's Archer Tower while using Bomb Tower to defend since many players are playing hut spammer decks in Arena 4 & 5. Noted that don't place Bomb Tower too early since its HP has been nerfed lately.

Now there are certain variations of this deck that I like to use. To make it more a much more offensive-oriented deck, you can replace the Fireball for Freeze Spell and replace the Inferno for the Cannon and Arrows for Zap Spell, to decrease your average elixir cost. This will make the deck a much more fast paced heavy offense deck, that can be very infuriating for your opponent to stop. So in this video I’m going to show you guys some live battles with both variations of this deck. I was able to obtain around 200 trophies quickly in Legendary Arena in one 30 minutes session with this deck!

During the earlier stage of the game, the best strategy is playing defensive and generating an Elixir lead. The Hog and Mini PEKKA can crash opponent tower and crowns very fast, the only thing you have to do is finding a perfect time to use them. The nice part about having both of these cards in the same deck is that they can set up pushes for each other and clear defenses for a future push.

First, the Fire Spirits are only a 2 Elixir card, they summon 3 units, and do about double the damage Goblins do. And together they do about 3 times the damage of 1 Zap Spell. Of course unlike Goblins, the Fire Spirits die after contact with the enemy troops. So in a way, they’re like a moving Zap Spell without the stun effect, but with vastly greater damage. So unlike a Zap Spell, the Fire Spirits can be used to counter Barbarians that cost 3 more Elixir than them. While since they’re a moving unit, you can combine them behind powerful and meaty troops like the Hog Rider and they can very effectively assist them in taking out some of the biggest defensive threats in the game. For example, we all know that the Barbarians can shut down a Hog Rider with Goblins and Zap Spell combo, but when you have Fire Spirits behind the Hog Rider, the Barbarians will be unable to counter the Hog Rider when you have the Fire Spirits and Zap Spell.

Key of this combo is the timing of Freeze. Hog Rider will be attacked by the enemy if you cast the Freeze too early, or the Hog Rider will be dead if you cast too late. While you catch the perfect timing, you always can get an Arena Tower down.

Lightning and baby dragon are the only two epic cards in this deck. The rest of the cards are mostly lower level cards, so they are not that hard to get. Most cards can also be replaced while without effecting the deck too much. Due to the lifetime reduction in the new patch, it could be replaced by Inferno Tower.

Battle Strategy:
Many beginners just copy others decks but have no idea about how to use them. Therefore it’s important for you guys knowing how to attack and defend.
 
On Offense
Hog Rider + Spear Goblins/Goblins: if your opponents drop a defensive building in the middle of two Arena Towers, you need to make Hog Rider jump over the river to attack Arena Tower directly. (pig push skills at the bottom of this page). After that, have your Fireball/Zap ready. Use Zap to counter hordes of troops, and have Fireball to counter Barbarians. Of course Fireball cannot take out Barbarian at the same level, but it can knock them back to win a few seconds for Hog Rider. And our Arena Tower can take out these Barbarians after they cross river.
 
On Defense
Skeletons/Spear Goblins can be used to distract Prince/Mini P.E.K.K.A/Giant Skeleton.
 
Minion Horde can be used to take out tankers or flying troops like Giant/Balloon/Baby Dragon.
 
Bomb Tower is perfect to annihilate ground troops. Fireball can quickly finish Mini Horde/Goblin Barrel/Barbarians/Three Musketeers and do some damage to the Arena Tower at the same time.
 
Zap can be used to finish Goblins/Spear Goblins/Skeletons/Minion Horde

Battle Strategy
In the beginning, if your opponents don’t place any horrible troops, just place Goblin Hut behind Arena Tower or have Goblins to cycle cards.

From 3:00 to 1:00, unless you have overwhelming advantage, play defensively is the best choice. If you load up elixir and have nothing else to do, just drop a card to cycle new card but Tombstone should be kept.
 
From 1:00 to overtime, drop more Goblin Huts behind Arena Tower. If you opponents try to make a strong push, just wait for defense and then counter push. While, if you opponents choose to defense, we can drop Baby Dragon/Barbarian behind Arena Tower to see what they will respond to. Remember defense is the best way to win.
