Fans React: The Most Loved and Loathed Features of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Written by Ivo Teel -

April 28th, 2023 marked the first anniversary of "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor". So I thought, why not find out what you, the players, really think of it. Well, I've been taking a pulse on the fandom –  you know, digging through those YouTube debates, those Reddit rabbit holes, the whole nine yards – and let me tell you, fellow fans, the Force is strong with this one...mixed with a few lingering frustrations.

What the fans loved about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

“Those lightsaber stances are pure gold!” This seems to be the unanimous verdict across Reddit. It’s hard to disagree. You've got the slow, heavy Kylo Ren vibes. You’ve got the blaster-and-saber combo for when you're feeling fancy. And you’ve got acrobatic moves that basically make you Jedi Spider-Man.  The way you can really customize your fights and feel out your own style –  that's pure make-your-own Star Wars right there. This comment from a redditor sums up the whole thing: "Thought the lightsaber duels in Fallen Order were pretty slick and couldn't get any better; I know so little.”

Many fans are thrilled about how much you can customize everything. Lightsabers, outfits, and even your droid companion, BD-1, can all be tweaked to the player’s liking. It sounds like being able to change BD-1’s look makes him feel even more like a partner in adventure. “Picking out parts for BD-1 is like prepping your best buddy for a big day out!” a fan explained in a forum post. “Customization for BD-1,  new outfits for Cal... come on, it's basically a Star Wars dress-up game at this point, and I'm here for it!,” a Redditor raved. 

The depth of the characters and the story really stood out to most people. Cal is more relatable as a Jedi with a past that affects his future, something many fans said they connected with. “None will convince me otherwise; Survivor’s makers had one brief: make players feel like they have a past in common with Cal,” a YouTube comment read. 

Survivor does another thing well: new characters stir things up; old friends return to add more layers to the story. But what really got people fired up was not “having to relearn abilities” or “regain gear we'd already mastered from the last game”. “No cheesy "force power amnesia" backwards step – yayyyy!” was the top rated comment on a forum thread about what fans felt after the first hour of gameplay. Indeed, “finally, a sequel that actually respects my progress as a player," was a common refrain.

 

What the fans loathed about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Look, as awesome as Survivor is, there's always some space for improvement, right? I was never too far from a ranting Redditor who “hated being frozen mid-battle on my PS5”. Some fans have been griping about those pesky frame rate drops –  especially on consoles – that “mess with the flow of those epic lightsaber duels”. 

For some, “big twisty reveals were pretty heavily foreshadowed and were obvious a light year ahead”. “I love the story, but sometimes I wish it would really shock me,” a fan noted. Perhaps it’s down to knowing one’s Star Wars too well, perhaps it’s something for the game-writers to note. 

So not everyone is blown away, but most are. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor did something that sequels are notoriously bad at – keeping what was good in the first story, and making it a bit better. Fans said that if Respawn can repeat this success one more time, they’d have “given us a Star Wars trilogy made for the Gods.”

Star Wars Jedi : Survivor is available to download on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox one. You can check other PS5 games out at our dedication section on the site

The best characters from role-playing games

Written by Ivo Teel -

There are plenty of top games to explore in the modern environment. Role-playing titles are just some of them, with gamers relishing the opportunity to be transported to an imaginary world filled with endless opportunities. Some games in this category also contain a fantasy or science fiction element, something which appeals to so many gamers. 

In today’s world, gaming communities are inundated with impressive role-playing products that can take them on numerous adventures. However, given the overall saturation that has occurred in the gaming sphere, there are also some releases that are worth avoiding. Thankfully, one look at various forums and the abundance of reviews out there highlights the releases worth dedicating some time and attention to. For example, people are opting to download games on mobile and PC that offer a strong role-playing experience, while there are also a range of other notable releases on other prominent console gaming platforms, such as the PlayStation 5.

These options offer an unforgettable world to explore and a variety of quests to complete, but they also contain some brilliant characters who have helped make the games so memorable. So, without further ado, below is a look at a few characters who have helped shape some excellent role-playing games. 

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII

The protagonist in Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife is a character fans will always remember fondly. His distinctive spiky blonde hair and his journey to becoming a hero make him a character that is hard not to like. Throw in Cloud Strife’s clear desire to save the world, and it’s almost impossible not to be captivated by his journey throughout the game. As far as iconic RPGs go, Final Fantasy VII is right up there, and Cloud Strife’s engaging personality most certainly helped shape it. 

Morrigan - Dragon Age

With the emergence of more dominant females in the gaming landscape, gaming communities have been captivated by some iconic female faces in recent times. Morrigan is certainly one of them, with Dragon Age’s complex character playing an integral role in the hit game. While Morrigan does have an ugly side that many gamers didn’t take to, it’s impossible to deny her impact in what is a much-loved title. With her own goals and her own motivations, this lone wolf is a fairly unique personality in a genre of gaming that tends to contain teamwork and unity. While she does bug gamers on occasion and has her various annoyances, Dragon Age definitely wouldn’t be the same without her. 

Geralt - The Witcher

If you’ve ever played The Witcher before, then you’ll almost certainly remember Geralt. An incredibly powerful personality who is capable of taking down formidable beasts, his unique skillset makes him impossible to ignore. While his alarmingly weak ankles are fairly comical throughout, Geralt also has numerous powers that enable him to reign supreme in any encounter. From powerful magic to his devastating dual swords, this deadly Witcher’s white-haired appearance sends fear into any victim he’s about to see off. Also offering deadpan humour and showcasing his way with the opposite sex on numerous occasions, Geralt is easily one of the best characters from the role-playing genre. 

Link - The Legend of Zelda

A game that many regards as the best of all-time, The Legend of Zelda and the plethora of missions gamers can tackle in the title makes it an undisputed favourite. Link, the green-clothed hero who gamers adore, will always be associated with the product. Not only does he have a likeable personality, but his courage and skill while embarking on the most challenging of immersive missions is admirable.

Crow Country: A spine-chilling indie classic lands on consoles

Written by AG Staff -

The PS1-inspired horror game, Crow Country, has officially launched and is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. The game, which is set in an eerie abandoned theme park, is the latest offering from the critically acclaimed indie studio SFB Games, known for their work on the Switch launch title Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together! and the mystery adventure Tangle Tower.

Crow Country has been described as "a modern indie classic" by Matt Gardner of Forbes and "a gorgeous homage to landmark titles of the past" by The Guardian, which gave the game a 5-star rating. The game offers two modes of play: survival horror, where players must fend off deadly monsters, and exploration mode, where the combat can be turned off to focus on the story and puzzles.

In Crow Country, SFB Games extends an invite to brave players to explore the abandoned theme park, and perhaps die trying, in this atmospheric love letter to '90s horror games. The game's launch has been eagerly anticipated by fans of the genre, and it is now available for players to experience on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.

Video Games with the Best Casinos

Written by Ivo Teel -

Video games have truly cemented a place for themselves in modern culture. Not only are there so many types of video games to choose from, but they also offer a unique experience like no other, where people can escape from their everyday life. One theme that has become increasingly popular in video games is gambling. Online gambling and casinos have grown due to several factors, such as improved tech and widespread internet availability. Mobile technology allows people to play wherever they are, and the games are more advanced than ever before. Slots are hugely popular, and classic table games such as blackjack and roulette have been given a new lease of life through new technology. For example, some of the best online casinos allow you to play live roulette games in real time, giving the games a truly authentic feel.

This popularity is reflected in video games, and with casinos featuring in games more, players can enjoy casino games as part of storylines or as mini games within the title. With this in mind, let’s explore some of the video games that have the best casinos.

Grand Theft Auto V

One game that is incredibly popular is Grand Theft Auto V. This best-selling game features the iconic Diamond Casino. Not only is the gameplay incredibly realistic, but the mini casino games players can try at the Diamond Casino include blackjack, roulette, slots based on TV shows from the video game, three-card poker and even horse race betting at the Inside Track. 

As it is part of a multiplayer game designed to mimic real life, players of this game will feel as though they are socialising in a traditional brick and mortar casino. The social element of the game also means that players can forge bonds with one another as well as share tips and tricks about the game. As there are so many casino games to play at the Diamond Casino in GTA V, players are also bound to pick up a few skills and strategies which they can apply to casino games outside of video games.

The Sims 3

Another great video game with a casino theme is The Sims 3. This game has been revolutionary for video gamers who are fans of simulation. Players can build their own virtual world and create characters who navigate the world, just like in real life. One of the many activities that the characters in this game can participate in is gambling. The expansion pack, Lucky Simoleon Casino, is modelled after the famous Flamingo Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. There are many types of casino games that can be played here such as card games like blackjack and poker as well as roulette. Slot machines are also available to play which intrigue players with their fast-paced nature and exciting themes. It is not just the act of playing these games in The Sims 3 that has attracted many players as you are able to dress up for the occasion, making the experience feel just like going to a real-life casino.

Vegas Party

Vegas Party was released in 2018 and is an exciting casino themed video game. It is a relatively new and unique gambling game on the Nintendo Switch that is perfect for those people who want to push themselves out of their comfort zone. The premise of the game is to race down the Las Vegas Strip where you will compete with other players. Overall, there are ten mini games, including roulette, blackjack, Texas Holdem, Baccarat and Bingo. These must be completed before being allowed to pass onto the next stage of the game. The thrilling aspect of this game is that the mini games must be completed under certain time conditions to win the game and triumph over your competitors.

It features over eighteen original environments and seventeen casinos, as well as many hilarious cliches of Las Vegas. It comes highly recommend as a game to play with a group of friends or your family for some light hearted entertainment. 

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout: New Vegas is an incredibly popular video game which showcases Las Vegas after the apocalypse. Players can get a glimpse of all the wonderful casinos in Las Vegas such as Sierra Madre Casino, Ultra-Luxe, and Atomic Wrangler Casino. This game allows players to evaluate a variety of unique casino games to find one that aligns perfectly with their tastes and preferences.

Each casino has its own chips for visual purposes, but you can use your chips at any casino you wish. Players can earn rewards and achievements from playing in the casinos, so there is a great incentive for gamers to strategise when playing in the casinos. From slot machines to blackjack and roulette, the casinos in Fallout: New Vegas have something for everyone. 

From the Diamond Casino in GTA V to the casino possibilities in The Sims 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, there are a huge variety of casino themes in video games. Not only are these games incredibly entertaining, but they also perfectly capture the thrill and excitement of real-life gambling. In the future, it is likely that more people will become interested in these types of virtual experiences especially as more casino themed video games are coming onto the scene.

Which One is For You: Steam Purchases or Xbox Game Pass PC’s Unlimited Access?

Written by Ivo Teel -

In PC gaming, where its landscape is as vast as the universe in No Man’s Sky, there lie two titans vying for your loyalty (and your wallet): the legendary Steam, with its treasure trove of purchases, and the mighty PC Game Pass, the Netflix of gaming. Let's dive into the ultimate showdown: Steam Stash vs. Xbox Game Pass for PC. Which one is best for you?

The Steam Stash

Steam, a haven for gamers since the age of the dinosaurs (well, 2003, but who's counting?), offers a mind-blowing array of games. From indie darlings like Sea of Stars to blockbuster hits such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Steam's library is as rich and diverse as a meme gallery. But here's the kicker: you buy, you own. Each game you purchase on Steam becomes a part of your digital collection, a badge of honor in your gaming journey.

The platform is famed for its epic sales, where prices slash down like a sword in Elden Ring, making it a paradise for bargain hunters. Moreover, Steam isn't just about games; it's a community. With forums, mod support, and user reviews, it's like the digital equivalent of hanging out at an arcade, minus the sticky floors.

The Xbox PC Game Pass’ Counterattack

Enter Xbox Game Pass for PC, a challenger that emerged from the mists in 2017. Imagine having unlimited access to a constantly evolving library of over 100 PC games. Yes, you heard right – unlimited access. For a monthly subscription, akin to the cost of a fancy avocado toast, you can play a plethora of games, from the postapocalyptic wastelands of Fallout to the hellish landscapes of Diablo IV.

The beauty of PC Game Pass lies in its "play more, worry less" mantra. No more buyer's remorse over a game that didn't meet the hype. Plus, Microsoft keeps adding new titles, including day-one releases of their own studio games. It's like your gaming library gets a surprise drop every now and then, keeping the excitement level maxed out.

Steam Stash vs. Xbox Game Pass for PC: The Showdown

So, how do you choose your champion in this gaming gladiator match? Let's break it down:

  • Ownership vs. Access: Steam grants you a kingdom where every game you buy is yours forever. Xbox PC Game Pass,  on the other hand, offers a playground with unlimited rides, as long as your subscription is active.

  • Library Size vs. Curated Experience: Steam boasts an enormous library, giving you the freedom to explore virtually limitless options. Game Pass curates a premium selection, ensuring you have access to high-quality, diverse titles without being overwhelmed.

  • Community Features vs. Convenience: Steam thrives on community engagement, reviews, and mods, enhancing the gaming experience. Xbox PC Game Pass emphasizes ease and convenience, perfect for gamers who want to jump straight into action without the fuss.

  • Individual Price vs. Monthly Fee: Steam offers a buy-one-keep-forever model for individual game purchases. Meanwhile, Game Pass provides unlimited access to a curated library of games for a fixed monthly subscription fee, letting you explore without ownership – perfect for gamers on a budget.

Which Side Are You On?

Choosing between Steam and PC Game Pass is like choosing between a DIY gourmet meal and an all-you-can-eat buffet. Both have their charms and challenges. Are you the collector type, priding yourself on a vast library of games that are yours forever? Or do you prefer the thrill of endless exploration, diving into new games without the commitment and overspending?

And speaking of overspending, check out digital marketplaces like Eneba for fantastic deals and offers on all things gaming. Whether you're a loyal knight of the kingdom of Lord Gaben, seeking affordable Steam keys, or you prefer the ever-changing landscape of games at your fingertips with Xbox subscriptions, there's something for everyone.

20 Years Later: How World of Warcraft Still Remains the King of MMOs

Written by Ivo Teel -

Ah, World of Warcraft, the colossal titan of the MMO world. Decades have rolled by, and yet, this legendary game continues to sit comfortably on its throne, wearing its crown with an air of nonchalance that screams, "Yeah, I still got it." But how? How does WoW maintain its regal status in the ever-evolving realm of online gaming? 

The Legend Begins

Born from the creative minds at Blizzard Entertainment, WoW was conceived as a bold leap into the MMO genre, building upon the rich lore of its real-time strategy predecessors, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II, and Warcraft III. Launched in 2004, it was a gamble in a world just beginning to embrace online gaming at such a massive scale. WoW's inception was fueled by a desire to create an immersive, living world where players could write their own stories, forge alliances, and battle foes on a scale never before seen. The game was a product of visionary thinking, cutting-edge technology, and a deep passion for storytelling, setting the stage for what would become a defining chapter in the annals of video gaming history.

The Nostalgia Factor: A Portal to Azeroth

First off, nostalgia plays a massive role. For many, WoW is like that old, worn-out hoodie from high school — it's comforting, familiar, and full of memories. Every login is a portal back to Azeroth, a world that's seen friendships forged in the heat of battle, epic guild dramas, and countless "just five more minutes" turning into "oh, it's sunrise." It's this emotional connection, this digital home away from home, that keeps players coming back.

A Universe Ever-Expanding

WoW's ability to evolve without losing its essence is nothing short of wizardry. With each expansion, Blizzard invites players to new adventures, lands, and lore, ensuring the world of Azeroth is a never-ending story. This constant renewal keeps the game fresh and exciting, much like how every "Harry Potter" book offered new magic while keeping us anchored in Hogwarts. It's this blend of the familiar and the new that keeps players spellbound, making every minute of their WoW game time an unforgettable adventure.

Community: The Fellowship of Azeroth

Then there's the community, a vast network of players from around the globe. WoW's community is the lifeblood of the game, a diverse tapestry of individuals who've spent years, if not decades, building their lives within the game. From hardcore raiders to casual adventurers, role-players to craftsmen, this melting pot of personalities makes WoW more than just a game; it's a world teeming with life, stories, and connections. It's like stepping into "The Lord of the Rings" where every player is part of an epic narrative, contributing to the legend that is WoW.

Adaptation and Innovation

Blizzard's commitment to adaptation and innovation has ensured that WoW never falls into the abyss of irrelevance. Whether it's through graphical updates that keep the game visually appealing or system overhauls that refine the gameplay, WoW has managed to stay current in an industry where games come and go like seasons. It's the gaming equivalent of David Bowie, constantly reinventing itself to stay at the pinnacle of popularity.

Long Live the King

So, here we are, years into its reign, and World of Warcraft still holds the scepter as the undisputed king of MMOs. Its blend of nostalgia, a dynamic world, a vibrant community, and a commitment to evolution makes it a fortress that stands tall amidst the sands of time. WoW is more than just a game; it's a phenomenon, a culture, and for many, a way of life.

The kingdom of Azeroth will continue to thrive, inviting old and new adventurers alike to its ever-expanding lore. Ready to embark on epic quests? Dive into digital marketplaces like Eneba, where you can snag unbeatable offers on WoW game time and all of the game’s expansions, all at prices that will make your wallet sing.

Most Curious Unobtainable WoW Mounts and How to Get Them

Written by Ivo Teel -

Since the game launch in 2004, Blizzard has added an impressive array of friendly beasts, strong enough to transport you. The category includes horses, dragons, or even ancient creatures that only bend to you after a hard questline. Many have joined the category of unobtainable WoW mounts due to the end of respective promotions and time limits for raids, new updates, or whatever.

If you wonder what they look like and how you could regularly unlock them, the following guide from Frostyboost.com is going to help you find out. You will also learn how to get these seemingly unobtainable animal friends today. Start with a comprehensive overview, composed subjectively, reflecting just one viewpoint out of many.

Types of Retired Beasts

While not all unavailable rare mounts from the following categories are on the list, they are often categorized as follows:

Raid & Dungeon 

Azeroth has been constantly shaken by numerous cataclysms, from wars to the plagues of ancient monsters threatening all living things. Often it leads to new temporary raids and dungeons carrying various rewards. These include animal friends who would join the player collections. With time, they have also joined the category of unobtainable and TCG mounts, which earned them high prestige and status. 

PVP Loot

Some of them went to those who defeat everyone in PvP. Since the Burning Crusade, Blizzard has been adding new PvP rewards. Of course, with each new season, access to the old ones is closed, so only the best users have them. In the earlier updates, you needed to be in the top 0.5% of 3v3 Arena players for the WoW Gladiator Achievement. 

Recently, for Retail WoW, the criteria have been simplified: players must achieve a 2400+ rating in the 3v3 bracket and secure at least 50 victories above this rating within the season. However, in WoW Classic, the requirement remains to place in the top 0.5% of the leaderboard to claim the Gladiator title, awarded two weeks after the season ends. 

The title of Rank 1 Gladiator is awarded similarly in both Retail and Classic versions of the game. You must be in the top 0.1% leaderboard and receive this title after two weeks. Whatever rare mounts or gladiator titles you want, Frostyboost might help with its WoW Gladiator boost service.

Discontinued Promotion

From time to time, Blizzard launches new promotions to support their products or the development of World of Warcraft itself. Users are typically encouraged to invite their friends, play Blizzard games, attend real-life events, and perform different activities to add exclusive horses, tigers, dragons, and others to their collection.

Other 

This category includes animal friends you may have gotten through a donation in the Bnet store, referring a friend, or due to a bug. Some were added to the game by mistake, but Blizzard did not remove them from user inventories. Others got additional redesigned versions. These include the original Epic ones. Nevertheless, they stand out from the crowded background due to their appearance and rarety.

  1. Amani War Bear

It is a black bear encased in massive armor with different elements, including wooden plates and horns. According to Wowhead, only 2% of accounts own Amani War Bear, which makes it quite rare in the game. Its owners can rightfully show off in front of teammates. 

You could obtain it in 2007 when the 2.3.0 The Gods of Zul'Aman' update came out. Users were encouraged to complete the temporary Zul’Aman run within a specific time limit to unlock it as loot. It was removed from the game when The Wrath of The Lich King came out.

  1. Black Qiraji Battle Tank

It’s a beetle with a unique and detailed model, featuring a violet, black, and blue palette. The beetle has sharp pincers, large pointed legs, a rugged carapace, two prominent antennae extending from its head, and glowing eyes. Its unique appearance makes it one of the most curious unobtainable WoW mounts. 

It was available during the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, a world event in 2006. The players had to fill the War Effort progress bar by contributing their resources to help open the Gates. Completing the bar would start a 5-day countdown and cause all NPCs to bring their materials to where the gates opened.

After five days, users who had obtained the Scepter of The Shifting Sands upon passing a chain of 32 quests could engage in a ten-hour-long war at the Scarab Wall. It was a raid filled with nine bosses and countless mobs, mechanics, and rewards, including the Black Qiraji Battle Tank. Your entire guild had to help you get the resources and finish the raid. Given such a challenge, it is an even more prestigious loot.

  1. Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm

This wyrm has extensive wings and a frightening snout expression with glowing blue eyes. Its body hides under frosty, metallic plates with many blue details suggesting its magical frost power. It is a common feature of all creatures associated with the Scourge or the Icecrown Citadel themes from the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

The Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm came out in update 9.2.7 to support the newly released WTLK Classic. You had to fully finish the Zone of Decay as the Death Knight to get access. It was around the time of the Dragonflight expansion announcement, causing many to think the wyrm would be allowed for dragonriding. However, their assumptions did not come true, and it remained just an addition to the collection of flying beasts.

  1. Swift Nether Drake

Its color scheme is purple with gray for armor. It appears to be somewhat grafted onto its body, which makes it look highly protected. The Swift Nether Drake has shining eyes and a row of spikes along its spine and tail, contributing to the overall aesthetic. It was a reward for the best 0.5% of 3v3 Arena players of Season 1.

  1. Jiggleworth Sr.

It looks like something that used to be a tiger with a green spectral body and shining yellow eyes. Its translucent, wraith-like appearance suggests an undead nature, while its skeleton structure is visible beneath the skin. The dark chains that look reins give an eerie expression to Jigglesworth Sr. 

Nobody knows how the saddle stays on its back. However, the ghostly body hasn't prevented it from transporting players, starting from patch 9.2.7. It came out along with Fated Raids, a system new to Shadowlands akin to what Blizzard is doing now with Awakened raids. You should have finished all three renewed raids on a Normal mode or above to gain it. 

  1. Warlord’s Deathwheel

One of the few in the game, this vehicle looks rugged and impressive. It's a motorcycle frame with the front part decorated by two long horns, suited for the Horde theme. The rear also has numerous spikes, wooden plates, skulls, and metallic parts to match its warlike design. 

Warlord's Deathwheel was the winner of Azeroth Choppers, a reality show hosted by Blizzard and American Choppers in the game. To receive it, you needed to enter the account at least once before the deadline of 30 September 2014. Although it’s not the rarest, it’s still an impressive companion.

  1. Cataclysmic Gladiator's Twilight Drake

This one has a dramatic and dark appearance, dominated by purples and blues. Its body is sleek with spiky, regal armor plates, while the wings feature an impressive span. The drake's eyes shine with a fierce light, matching the cosmic and mysterious vibe it creates. 

Cataclysmic Gladiator's Twilight Drake and the Swift Drake are just two examples from a broad array of Arena-specific creatures, mostly dragons. wyrms, and drakes. The WoW Mounts Boost service from Frostyboost allows you access to focus on game enjoyment instead of grinding hard-to-get and rare beasts. 

  1. Spectral Wind Rider and Spectral Gryphon

These flying friends share a spirit theme. Each of them corresponds to one of the game's two major factions—Horde for the Wind Rider and Alliance for the Gryphon. Both are enveloped in an ethereal blue glow indicating they are not quite alive. 

To collect one of them, you had to add either the email or the nickname and realm of your friend and bring their character alive through the Resurrection Scroll. Sadly, it was replaced by the character boost service in 2014, and the Spectral Wind Rider and the Spectral Gryphon became unobtainable.

  1. Grove Warden

Being a flying stag, it features an intricate design, inspired by the natural magic of Azeroth. Its antlers are wide and ornate, glowing with a mystical light. The brown body has numerous green elements, reflecting its deep connection to forest protection. In addition, the stag wears Druidic armor made of gems, stone, and wood.

World of Warcraft users could only receive it upon defeating Archimonde when completing the Hellfire Citadel run on the Heroic tier before the Legion expansion. The standard version of Grove Warden was obtainable in the game between June 2015 and July 2016, later followed by revised versions, such as Grove Defiler.

  1. Uncorrupted Voidwing

Its appearance is reminiscent of a dark void, with purple, black, and blue accents. It has a slender body and extensive wings reminding of the night sky. Its sharp teeth and piercing eyes add to its fierce and otherworldly demeanor. Uncorrupted Voidwing is a symbol of resistance against corruption, once awarded after defeating the Old God N'Zoth in the Heroic mode of the Ny'alotha raid of the Battle for Azeroth. 

Ways to Get Unobtainable Creatures Today

These and other beasts attract many seekers of unique items in World of Warcraft with their appearance and rarity. But you can't get them now; the access to the respective promotions and PvP seasons is closed, or the raids and dungeons no longer give these rewards. However, a few unconventional options might help you.

Trading Card Game 

Some of them are unlocked by submitting scratch-off codes from their trading cards. Since the TCG program is discontinued, you can't find the new ones anywhere except third-party websites where players sell unused cards for these TCG mounts. Notably, such transactions are usually expensive due to the limited number of cards and frequently cause scam risks.

Black Market Auction House

Many removed items appear in new black market auction lots. It is a specific in-game location where users find unique armor sets, cosmetics, and mounts. To win the lot, offer more gold than all auction members. Others are likely to hinder you from doing it because very few of these items are available now, and everyone wants them. 

Black Market is a real though expansive option to get a rare animal friend. However, it is not the easiest way to get Wow Gladiator creatures and other beasts, especially the earlier ones.

WoW Gladiator Character Transfer Service

Frostyboost offers a Gladiator Character transfer service as a solution to obtain the most prestigious gladiator mounts that would later become unobtainable. It ensures safe character transfer between WoW accounts with no penalties or ban risks. Using the service, you can get rare beasts such as Obsidian Gladiator Mount, Sinful Gladiator Mount, or perhaps those from earlier seasons. 

Try the standard option, taking 30 days to complete, or the express version. Whatever the choice, Frostyboost ensures safe passage through the WoW account rename option. Your animal friends remain unactivated and in the bag, as it should be. After you contact the team, it will help manage all the payment and character transfer details.

Frostyboost has rapidly gained popularity among World of Warcraft players, who point to quality and safety in the Trustpilot reviews as the most distinctive features of the website. After the Battle Net account name change, there are no links to that your character is boosted, which adds to safety.

Pine: A Story of Loss - A heartrending Indie Game experience

Written by AG Staff -

Indie games publisher, Fellow Traveller, has unveiled their latest venture, Pine: A Story of Loss. This emotive narrative game, created by New York-based developer, Made Up Games, is set to combine hand-drawn animation with wordless storytelling. The game, which is expected to launch on Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile platforms in late 2024, tells the poignant tale of a woodworker grappling with the recent loss of his wife.

The game invites players into the quiet forest glade where the woodworker once shared a life with his wife. As the seasons change, the character's daily tasks, from collecting water to planting crops, stir up vivid memories of his late spouse. These memories are then immortalized in intricate wood carvings, each one a promise to remember, yet also a potent obsession.

Designed to be completed in one or two sittings, Pine utilizes environmental storytelling, ambient soundscapes, and an original musical score to immerse players in the protagonist's world. The interactive puzzles and mini-games mirror daily chores, while the transforming landscapes reflect the passage of the four seasons. The artwork in Pine is inspired by the impressionistic environments of N.C. Wyeth, juxtaposed against clean character animations reminiscent of classic comics like Tintin.

Pine: A Story of Loss was born out of a sketch by professional illustrator and children’s book author Tom Booth, following a personal tragedy. The sketch, which depicted the woodworker in his grief, resonated with fans and sparked a wave of support, leading Booth and programmer Najati Imam to further develop the story into a full-fledged game. Pine: A Story of Loss is more than just a game; it's an interactive experience that reminds us that no one is alone in their loss. 

You can add Pine: A Story of Loss to your wishlist on Steam to be notified when it becomes available.

7 Best Classic Card Games to Try

Written by Ivo Teel -

Introduction

Card games are an excellent piece of entertainment and hobby. They're one of the leading and most accessible multiplayer gaming experiences in the entertainment world. All that players need to play a huge number of card games is a standard deck of 52 cards.

The English-American style of playing cards is the industry standard, with only proprietary or regional games taking advantage of alternative decks. Most of the classic card games, including Solitaire, feature 52 cards, including:

  • King

  • Queen

  • Jack

  • Numbered Ace (1)-10

Every card has four copies, each of which is a different symbol or suit. Let's discover the top seven classic card games you can play now.

Solitaire

One of the most popular classic single-player card games, Solitaire is available on almost every PC that uses Microsoft software. This classic game has been available on Microsoft devices since 1990, and you can also play solitaire online. The classic card game is only popular for a good reason. Anyone can play Solitaire with a flat surface and a deck of cards. The game has also stretched to digital devices.

Players try to create tableaus, completing sequences of cards in descending order based on their rank and the number associated with the cards available. Mathematically speaking, not every Solitaire variant is winnable. However, since the game is only played solo, losing it isn’t considered a real loss. Just shuffle up the card deck and start to play it again.

Hearts

Trick-taking card games are popular, thanks to their interesting game mechanics that provide room for a depth of strategy. Hearts is one of these classic games. In this game, every player plays a card at a time, comparing the cards against each other trick by trick.

Hearts utilizes a lowest-score-wins system. The Queen of Spades and heart-suited cards count for 13 points and 1 point each, respectively. Hearts features two and three-player variants. The game is best played with a full table of four.

End your Hearts game with the lowest score to emerge the winner. Unless you are trying to shoot the moon, try as much as possible to avoid taking tricks with penalty cards.

Spades

With four players in teams of two, the Spades game utilizes the standard 52-card deck. 2 is the lowest, while Ace is the highest in terms of ranking. Cards are dealt to the user first. After that, they’re dealt around the table. After all cards are dealt, each player must have a hand or 13 cards.

At this level of the game, every contender bids the number of tricks they consider as a win. The objective is for every participating team to win enough tricks to exceed or meet its combined total of bids.

The goal here is to accumulate 500 points. Unless a team hits 500 points, scores are added after every round, which consists of 13 tricks. There is no restriction to the number of rounds a team can play to achieve the 500-point goal in the Spades game.

Euchre

Anywhere between two and four players can enjoy this game. As a fast-paced, trick-taking game, Euchre supports both teams and singles. It uses 24, 28, or 36 cards from the standard deck of cards.

Each player is required to nominate a single card to attempt to outrank other contenders and emerge the victor of the trick. The highest-value card of the suit represents the winner. Euchre’s objective is to win a minimum of five tricks in every round.

Double FreeCell

Double FreeCell features 104 cards or two decks. Players simply need to move all 104 cards, in this game to four foundation piles by suit, starting from Ace to King. This occurs in an ascending manner. Players can only do this by moving and organizing their cards in the tableau and using six open or free cells.

Eight Off

Eight Off consists of a single deck of cards. It has eight free cells, and all cards are sequenced by suit. In the Eight Off game, all you need to do is move all the cards into four foundation piles when playing the game. You need to move them by suit in an ascending manner.

Forty Thieves

Forty Thieves is another classic card game that uses 104 cards or two decks. The objective of Forty Thieves is simple. You only need to move all cards from the stockpile and tableau into eight foundation piles by suit. This is done in an ascending manner.

These card games are a thrill to play. Do you want to play a shedding game? A banking game? Or a comparison game? It doesn’t matter! Classic card games offer a tactile experience that’s simply lacking in the digital gaming landscape.

While you can play them on digital devices and platforms, these classic card games have something special to deliver. Try these classic card games today and take your gaming experience to the next level.

The Impact of Gambling Mechanics in Game Design

Written by Ivo Teel -

Video games often incorporate elements where players bet or stake virtual items. These features draw interest and debate. Some argue they make games more dynamic and offer depth and the others are concerned about possible injury, particularly to younger or more susceptible players. This article will examine these components' effects on game design and how important they are to a game's overall success. We shall examine these mechanisms' advantages as well as their drawbacks. The objective is to comprehend their impact on the gaming industry.

The Development of Game Gambling Mechanisms

For many years, betting has been included in video games. These principles were first used in simpler form in early arcade games. Gambling mechanics were often subtle, focusing on the thrill of risk and reward. Players used luck or skill to gain in-game cash. New game levels or items could be unlocked using this cash.

Back in 1980, for example, the decision to go after ghosts with power pellets in PacMan can be seen as a gamble. Many classic pinball machines featured score multipliers and special bonus rounds. These aspects encouraged players to take a chance on losing a ball in order to increase their score, much to gambling's high stakes and uncertain rewards.

More intricate systems developed with time: it was possible to wager on game results in certain games, others offered loot boxes, in which users may purchase rare things with real money or in-game currency.

How Gambling Mechanics Enhance Game Design

Risk/reward structures and randomness are essential to increasing the immersion of video games. These components give the game more depth and unpredictability. Players often face decisions that test their risk tolerance, which can lead to extremely profitable outcomes or significant losses, simulating the dynamics of real-world gambling.

Here are five popular video games that skillfully integrate gambling mechanics, offering players unique challenges and rewards:

  1. Hearthstone by Blizzard Entertainment: is a fast-paced strategy card game, where players purchase packs of random cards similar to gambling for rare finds. There is always a game of luck element as they roll for new minions. The unpredictability of what minions will show up next keeps the game exciting and makes players eager to keep playing.

  2. FIFA Ultimate Team: introduced in 2008, the game allows players to create an all star team made up of football players from various teams. Gamers play against other people in a competitive environment, and can add a random element to the teams by purchasing packs containing players. When there is a chance to use the game currency instead of real money, a player decides to wager real money in packs.

  3. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: a 2012 tactical shooter created by Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve. The gambling here refers to the part, when one can wager on the worth of in-game things using the game's skin trading and case systems. These virtual skins, which alter the look of characters or weaponry, can have a substantial real-world worth.

  4. GTA Online: published in 2013 by Rockstar Games, this action-adventure multiplayer features an in-game casino where players can gamble with virtual currency on games like poker and slot machines.

  5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: a sequel in the Witcher video game series, that all contain betting elements. It offers in-game card game Gwent, where players bet against NPCs to win cards, adding a layer of risk and reward.

Such mechanics tap into player psychology. The thrill of potentially receiving rare items keeps players coming back. It's a powerful retention strategy. It creates moments of high excitement that encourage continued play and even spending.

Overall, gambling mechanics can significantly impact game design. They introduce an element of surprise and strategy. Players must weigh their options and decide if the potential reward is worth the risk. This balance is crucial in crafting engaging and enduring games.

Fair Play and Security 

As gambling elements, such as real-money betting, virtual casinos, and in-game wagers, become increasingly incorporated into video games, robust security measures become paramount. Here are several key facets of security in gambling mechanics in game design:

 

1. Data Encryption

Data encryption is fundamental in protecting players' personal and financial information. Utilizing advanced encryption standards, like SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, ensures that data transferred between the player's device and the game servers is secure and unreadable to unauthorized parties. This is particularly important for games that involve eCheck deposits or other forms of financial transactions.

 

2. Secure Payment Gateways

For games that allow real-money transactions, integrating secure payment gateways is essential. These gateways must comply with financial industry standards and regulations, such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), to ensure the secure processing of payments and withdrawals. This protects both the players and the game developers from financial fraud and theft. Particularly for transactions that go directly from a player's bank account, such as those facilitated by echeck deposit casinos, it is crucial to employ payment gateways that offer advanced encryption and security measures to maintain the integrity of these transactions.

 

3. Random Number Generators

The fairness of gambling games heavily relies on the unpredictability of their outcomes. Random Number Generators (RNGs) are algorithms used to ensure that the results of games are completely random and not influenced by external factors. Certified and audited RNGs are a cornerstone of fair play in gambling mechanics, providing players with confidence that the game is impartial.

 

4. Fraud Detection and Prevention

Implementing sophisticated fraud detection and prevention mechanisms is vital to identify and mitigate potential fraudulent activities. This includes monitoring for unusual transaction patterns, verifying player identities (also known as KYC - Know Your Customer procedures), and employing anti-cheating software to prevent manipulation of the game's mechanics.

 

5. Regulatory Compliance

Adhering to local and international gaming and gambling regulations is critical for game developers to operate legally and ethically. Compliance involves obtaining necessary licenses, following anti-money laundering (AML) protocols, and promoting responsible gaming practices. This also includes ensuring that gambling mechanics do not target minors or vulnerable individuals.

Narrative-Driven Adventures with a Twist

4 Tips for Navigating Virtual Reality Safely

Written by Ivo Teel -

Virtual reality (VR) has taken major leaps forward in recent years. With the release of the Apple Vision Pro in early 2024, people are starting to realize how truly powerful this technology is and how it’s likely to transform our lives.

As with most new ground-breaking technologies, widespread adoption brings tremendous opportunities and, unfortunately, significant challenges as well. This article will cover some of the main safety challenges associated with VR and offer strategies to mitigate them.

How to address the negative physical effects of VR use

VR headsets are unlike anything the human mind has ever had to deal with. It’s like entering a completely different world, which leads to unique challenges. Prolonged use as a beginner will likely lead to symptoms like motion sickness, eye strain, and headaches. 

  • If you’re new to VR, it’s best to keep your sessions brief, ideally no longer than 30 minutes. Regular breaks will reduce eye strain and mental fatigue. As your mind gets used to the technology, you can try prolonging the sessions.

  • Another must for reducing physical symptoms is adjusting the VR settings, such as brightness, contrast, and field of view (FOV). One study has shown that adjusting the FOV reduces VR sickness and allows users to adjust to VR more quickly. The same study also points out that how quickly things are happening on the screen can lead to discomfort. So, if there’s a way to reduce the speed within the VR environment, it will likely make the experience more comfortable.

Virtual threats associated with VR

Aside from physical discomfort, VR also brings some unique virtual challenges. The metaverse encourages interaction with strangers and fosters virtual communities. This can open individuals up to unwanted malicious attention like cyberbullying and scams. 

Social engineering attacks can be even more effective in the metaverse due to the immersive and trusting environments it creates. Investors and individuals have already lost thousands of dollars from buying fake properties in the metaverse. There are very little regulations about these scams, so users must take great personal accountability to remain safe.

Mitigate virtual threats with a password manager

One of the best tools for mitigating most virtual threats is a password manager. A password manager can greatly enhance your security in the metaverse by securely storing and managing your unique passwords for different virtual platforms and accounts. It will create complex, hard-to-guess passwords without the need to remember each one, significantly reducing the risk of account breaches.

If you don’t know where to start, the password manager comparison chart created by Reddit users can help you choose a reputable provider.

Gaming responsibly in VR

One of the primary use cases for VR is the elevated gaming experience. However, gaming rooms in the metaverse are also a breeding ground for various scams and spam.

For example, players might encounter fake contests that promise exclusive in-game items or currency in exchange for personal information or money. These scams often appear legitimate, mimicking the style and communication methods used by trusted developers and gaming platforms.

The major key to protecting against these threats is to never share personal information with strangers.

The benefits of a VPN for VR gaming

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can greatly improve the gaming experience in the metaverse:

  1. It enhances privacy by encrypting your internet connection

  2. It provides access to geo-restricted content

  3. Allows you to use your VR headset securely over public Wi-Fi

If you set up a VPN with port forwarding, you will also benefit from increased gaming speed and performance.

How to set up secure user profiles

Having a secure user account is often the determining factor for your privacy level. To secure your accounts, you must protect them with a strong password (that’s why a password manager is very useful) as well as two-factor authentication.

Once your account is secured, you should also explore the various privacy settings that may be available. 

Start by reviewing the default privacy settings on any platform. Often, these are set to be more open than you might prefer. Change them to limit who can see your information and interact with you. For instance, you might make your profiles visible only to friends or connections rather than publicly available.

Final thoughts

Virtual reality is an exciting new technology that will transform how we consume digital content and interact with each other. However, as with any technology, it comes with its own set of challenges and risks, particularly in terms of privacy and security.

As users, we must be proactive in securing our virtual presence. We must learn about the latest scams cybercriminals use and protect our accounts with strong credentials and strict privacy settings. Only then will we not simply solve issues created by the latest technology but benefit from it, as we should.

Enhance Your Solitaire Skills: A Comprehensive Guide

Written by Ivo Teel -

Introduction

Solitaire, often celebrated as a classic among card games, holds a special place in both the history of gaming and the hearts of millions around the world. Perfect for playing alone, this game not only passes time but also sharpens the mind, enhancing cognitive functions like strategic planning and problem-solving. Whether you're waiting in a queue or enjoying a quiet evening at home, learning to play solitaire effectively can offer endless hours of entertainment and mental exercise. In this guide, we'll dive into the essentials of solitaire, from its intriguing history to expert tips for mastering the game.

Understanding Solitaire

Solitaire, also known as "Patience" in some parts of the world, has a storied history that dates back to the late 18th century in Northern Europe. Initially a pastime for the aristocracy, it gradually became a popular activity among the common folk as playing cards became more widely available. The game gained a significant foothold in culture when it was included as a digital version on personal computers in the 1990s, notably through Microsoft Solitaire. This inclusion helped catapult solitaire to global popularity, making it a staple on virtually every computer and significantly influencing its spread across generations.

The essence of solitaire lies in its simple objective: to sort a shuffled deck of 52 cards into their designated suits in an ascending order, all while following specific layout and movement rules. The classic version known as Klondike is the most recognized form, where cards are arranged in a tableau of seven piles that build down in alternating colors and are completed with a stack of each suit.

How to Play Solitaire

Playing solitaire, particularly the Klondike version, involves both strategic planning and a bit of luck. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

  1. Setup: Begin by laying out seven piles of cards face down, except for the top card on each pile, which should be face up. The layout should start with one card in the first pile, two in the second, and so on, up to seven cards in the seventh pile.

  2. Building the Tableau: The tableau piles are built down by alternate colors. For instance, if the bottommost card of a tableau pile is a red queen (hearts or diamonds), a black jack (spades or clubs) can be placed on it.

  3. Drawing from the Stock: Cards that cannot be placed immediately in the tableau or foundations can be drawn from the stockpile to help you continue the game. Typically, you can cycle through the stockpile three times if you get stuck.

  4. Foundations: Start each foundation pile with an Ace and build up in sequence to the King. The objective is to complete all four foundation piles with cards sorted by suit and in ascending order.

Tips for Beginners:

  • Reveal Hidden Cards: Always prioritize moves that reveal hidden cards. Uncovering new cards provides more options for organizing your tableau and building your foundation piles.

  • Plan Ahead: Before making a move, consider how it might affect your ability to play future cards. Sometimes, the obvious choice isn't the best strategic move.

Understanding and applying these rules can significantly enhance your ability to play solitaire effectively, turning random dealings into opportunities for strategic decision-making.

Strategies to Improve Your Game

Mastering solitaire requires more than just understanding the basic rules; it involves developing strategies that can significantly enhance your chances of winning. Here’s how you can refine your approach to excel in the world of classic games like solitaire:

Key Strategies:

  • Manage the Tableau Efficiently: Always aim to keep tableau piles as empty as possible. This flexibility allows for more moves and options as the game progresses.

  • Use the Stock Wisely: Be strategic about when you use the stockpile. Try not to cycle through it too quickly, as each pass may limit future options.

  • Transfer Cards for Access: Sometimes, it’s beneficial to temporarily place cards in less ideal spots to access crucial hidden cards.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid:

  • Wasting Aces and Twos: Early in the game, if you draw an Ace or Two, place it on the foundation immediately. These plays often open up other moves.

  • Ignoring Order of Moves: Evaluate the order of your moves to maximize the uncovering of hidden cards and the strategic build-up of the tableau.

By adopting these tactics, you can improve your solitaire gameplay, making each session more engaging and potentially more successful. Developing a deeper understanding of these strategies will not only enhance your solitaire skills but also your strategic thinking across various card games.

Choosing the Right Solitaire Game

The beauty of solitaire lies in its variety, offering numerous versions beyond the traditional Klondike that can provide fresh challenges and new strategies. Each variant has its unique twist, and exploring them can enhance your overall enjoyment and skill in the world of classic games. Here are a few popular solitaire variants you should consider:

Freecell:

  • Gameplay: Uses the same deck as Klondike but with all cards visible at the start, which eliminates luck from the equation.

  • Strategy: Focuses on free cells to temporarily hold cards, aiding in strategic moves.

Spider Solitaire:

  • Gameplay: Involves ten tableau piles with 54 cards, aiming to build down the tableaus in a single suit.

  • Complexity: Generally considered more challenging than Klondike, requiring careful planning and strategy.

Pyramid Solitaire:

  • Gameplay: Cards are arranged in a pyramid, and players remove pairs that add up to 13.

  • Challenge: The game requires foresight and sometimes quick decision-making to clear the board.

Exploring these variations can offer a broader perspective on strategic card play, sharpening skills that are applicable across the spectrum of solitaire games. Each version brings its unique challenges and strategies, enriching the experience of those who delve into these classic games.

Conclusion

Solitaire is not just a game; it's a testament to the timeless appeal of classic games, offering a unique blend of strategy, skill, and sometimes a touch of luck. Whether you prefer the traditional challenges of Klondike or the complex strategies of Spider Solitaire, this game continues to captivate players around the world. Its ability to adapt to various formats, from physical decks to digital platforms, ensures that solitaire remains relevant and beloved in today's gaming landscape.

Playing solitaire sharpens the mind, provides a relaxing escape, and brings a sense of accomplishment with each game mastered. As you explore different versions and refine your strategies, you'll discover even more ways to enjoy and excel in this classic game.
