The release of Hearthstone patch 29.2 was met with dissatisfaction from players. After players updated the game and logged in, they noted a significant change in terms of the Hearthstone Weekly Quest system. Later, based on player feedback, Blizzard announced an unscheduled hotfix to address the issue. Read on for details.

Hearthstone Weekly Quest update



The launch of Hearthstone patch 29.2 featured an updated Weekly Quest system. The change granted more XP, but made the Weekly Quests harder to complete. For example, instead of winning five ranked games to complete a Weekly Quest, the requirement went up to 15 wins.




Really not liking the #Hearthstone weekly quests change. Increasing the requirements x3 to get any reward will hit casual and f2p players the hardest, while rewarding high engagement players (who probably don’t need the gold) more. pic.twitter.com/a9GXBLkUBv— Dr. (10 Years) Hearthstone Boomer 🎉🎂🎈 (@DrB00mer) April 16, 2024




Some Hearthstone players posted about the update on social media. DrB00mer, for example, noted that the Weekly Quest completion requirement tripled. The user also noted the effect on free-to-play (F2P) players.



"Increasing the requirements x3 to get any reward will hit casual and f2p players the hardest, while rewarding high engagement players (who probably don’t need the gold) more," DrB00mer wrote.

Meanwhile, Hearthstone influencer manager Ridiculous Hat acknowledged the community feedback. "My job right now is to listen and relay feedback," the post stated. "People are upset and that is valid." Ridiculous Hat also followed up with some more information, noting the existence of meetings and conversations about the new Hearthstone Weekly Quest system.

Blizzard addresses new Hearthstone Weekly Quest update

XDefiant has plenty of customization when it comes to its weaponry. Its on par with the likes of Call of Duty in that sense. So, if you want to know the best weapon loadouts for Ubisoft's XDefiant, we've got you covered.



There are multiple weapon categories that any FPS veteran is familiar with. And the same goes for the guns in those categories, as the weapons are popular ones often used in shooters. With our help, you'll know which one to use and how to kit it out for each category.






The best XDefiant loadouts



XDefiant has six weapon categories to choose from, which let you create a loadout filled with customization. You pick a gun, add attachments, decide on a secondary, and finish with a Device, which is the likes of a grenade or mine.






Here's each category and the best XDefiant weapon loadout for it:



Assault



(Screenshot via esports.gg)




Weapon: ACR 6.8

Barrel: Recon



Front Rail: Handstop



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Quick Mag



Rear Grip: Heavy Grip





Secondary Weapon: M9

Muzzle: Brake



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Fast Mag



Rear Grip: Leather Wrapped





Device: Frag Grenade




This XDefiant loadout is all about staying in the game. The ACR is definitely the top Assault-class weapon available. The chosen attachments boost its accuracy, allowing for clean shots, and up its ammo capacity so you can keep on shooting.



The secondary is simple enough. The M9 is a reliable sidearm, and if you need to finish the job, this version will make it easy for you to swap it out and land your shots. Then go with a Frag for the Device to cause some havoc.



SMG



(Screenshot via esports.gg)




Weapon: MP7

Front Rail: Tactical



Optics: Reflex



Magazine: Quick Mag



Rear Grip: Grip Tape



Stock: Padded





Secondary Weapon: M1911

Muzzle: Barrel Extender



Optics: Reflex



Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip





Device: Flashbang




The MP7 is arguably the best all-around SMG in XDefiant, and this loadout improves upon that

The patch is coming soon, and the latest Brawl Talk revealed a ton of content coming for the Brawl Stars May update! Including two brand-new brawlers, six hypercharges, and new game modes. Supercell also shared more information on City Smash, the game mode in collaboration with Godzilla. However, there's also a new skin theme coming to different brawlers: The hacker skins.



If this is not enough, keep reading to find out more about the new modifiers that will be introduced for trophy modes and ranked.









Lily and Draco: May's new brawlers



Lily and Draco are coming with the Brawl Stars May Update, and we've got some details on how their mechanics work and some of their damage information. The first one is a Mythic rarity brawler, while the second is Legendary.




New Brawler: Lily



Lily's normal attack 



Lily's super damage and distance

Lily has only one ammo for her normal attack and deals a fixed amount of 2400, according to the Brawl Talk footage. Her range is about the same as El Primo's but can deal with long distances thanks to her super. When it lands, Lily will jump to the target location and deal a fixed amount of 2000 damage.








Draco's normal attack three instances of damage



Draco's super allows him to mount a dragon
Swipe to see how he works!



Draco attacks with his guitar, and the most damage he can make depends on landing it on full range. The guitar will do three instances of damage (1200/1620/2400), and his super depends on how many fireballs you connect.



Lily and Draco are getting skins on launch, for 29 gems each.



Godzilla x Brawl Stars event - A Comeback!



It's been a while since the last Brawl Stars collaboration, and Godzilla will be the comeback! With this new season, three new features will be introduced: Monster Egg, City Smash (new game mode), and mutations; plus, a free skin for Buzz.

Mutations will only be available during the Godzilla

Brawl Stars May Update: Free rewards, new brawlers, and more!

The newly-launched Crownfall offers a myriad of rewards including the popular Arcanas, Treasures, and even a new set of chatwheels. But among them all, there's one Mythical set perfect for a devoted Invoker player or just a funny hat collector. Take a look at the Invoker's Wyrdwing Exaltation set and how you can get it!



A look at the Invoker "Wyrdwing Exaltation" set



The Crownfall event released an ambient set for Invoker. This set styles Invoker in a long, messy ponytail and his abdomen is now visible. But the most striking part of the set is his new pair of monstrous wings. The feathery wings are colored in a glowy purple by default but the set also comes in three other styles that have the wings in different colors! Take a look below!




Style 1 













Style 2 









Style 3 









Style 4 








How to get the Invoker set via the Crownfall event



Crownfall brings forth a ton of hero sets and cosmetics. But out of all the sets, this Invoker one is particularly special because it is a reward that you can only get if you play the Crownfall event until the very end.







To get the Invoker "Wyrdwing Exaltation" set, you must complete the Main Quest on the Overworld Map of Act I (The Markets of Midgate). Finish the quests from "Start" to "Finish" and by the end, you'll earn yourself a set of rewards. You'll obtain the Invoker set, a "Crownfall Act I Completionist" medal, and three sets of decoration that you can put on your player profile.



Note that you don't have to complete the Side Quests which are marked in a purple line. This makes obtaining the Invoker set alongside the other rewards completely free!

Dota 2 Crownfall: How to get the Mythical Invoker "Wyrdwing Exaltation" set

Roll out the red carpet! The Dota 2 community is excited and ready to welcome the arrival of the mischievous Ringmaster, Dota 2's upcoming new hero. Valve first introduced Ringmaster during the culmination of The International 2023, teasing its arrival in 2024. With the highly-anticipated Crownfall update coming, many are also expecting Ringmaster's release. Here's everything we know about Ringmaster, including its release date, abilities, and voice actor.



UPDATE: Valve has yet to unleash Ringmaster following Crownfall's release, nor share updates regarding its release date. Many speculate that the hero will arrive in the next chapter of Crownfall, Act II, which may come in another week or more.



When is the release date for Ringmaster?







Ringmaster is scheduled to release in "early 2024". Ringmaster is likely set to release alongside the massive Crownfall update which will release in "mid April".



As we are sitting right in the middle of April, Ringmaster may come anytime soon! Valve typically releases Dota 2 patches on Tuesday or Thursday Seattle time, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled on these days.






What are Ringmaster's abilities?



There are many speculations when it comes to Ringmaster's abilities and concept. The hero has a distinct similarity to Heroes of Newerth's hero, Puppet Master. Aside from the name that aligns, both hero has the   "jester" look and a wickedly mischievous concept. 









HoN's Puppet Master has abilities that can tie an enemy hero to a puppet's string and restrain their movement. The Ringmaster trailer showed an image of Axe tied with a rope. The trailer also showed how Ringmaster is able to trick or deceive the enemy unit and control them to do what he wants, a similar concept to Puppet Master's mind-control ability "Puppet Show".

Dislyte Chu Yao quiz answers

Crownfall has brought two new flashy Arcanas to Dota 2, but the first question on every player’s mind is if they can claim them for free. Valve has been generous in the past with free Arcanas in battle passes, or at least making them reasonably cheap. Now that the developer has returned to the standard $35 price tags, is there a chance it's willing to drop it even lower?



Eagle-eyed fans have noticed the coin discount in the shop, which can already knock a solid chunk off their prices. However, if you can get enough Crownfall coins, is it possible to claim the Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit Arcanas for free?



Crownfall Arcanas aren’t free, but you can claim a discount



Crownfall coin discounts do not stack, which means you can’t get the Arcanas for Skywrath Mage or Vengeful Spirit for free. However, it's still possible to get them for a discount. 



Players can cash in Crownfall coins to get a $8 discount on anything in the store. This could be a free Crownfall Royal Bundle, which surreptitiously costs the exact amount as the discount. Players can also spend it on a few free Crownfall treasures if they purchase the $20 bundle of nine. This naturally leads to whether they can stack, and the answer appears to be no.



The discount is available on everything in the Crownfall store (Image via Valve)



The discount appears to only apply once to any single item in the store. The coupon is consumed at the time of purchase, so there’s no way to stack up 100 Crownfall coins and discounts and use them to get some free Arcanas. The most you can do is bring both Arcanas down to $26, which is still a nice discount, but far from complimentary.



Crownfall will include 60 free coins, which, if all stacked onto one of the two Arcanas, would theoretically allow players to claim one for free. We’ll have to wait and see if Valve changes the rules to allow this miracle as the event unfolds. 



Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest updates on all things Dota 2.

Can you get the new Crownfall Arcanas for free?

If you're new to XDefiant, you might find yourself in need of a sensitivity converter. Instead of fiddling with the setting until it feels right, you can calculate a good place to start.



Either do the match yourself, or use one of several conversion tools to help you hit the sweet spot. You'll be able to set your sensitivity to a familiar number early on and tweak it to your liking.






XDefiant sensitivity converter tools to use



There are a lot of websites out there with sensitivity conversion methods to help you find the right setting in XDefiant. Here are some details about the most popular and effective:




KovaaK's

It does cost money on Steam, but is a popular aim trainer that players use for dozens upon dozens of games. You can test out a variety of sensitivities from many titles to see what fits best.





Mouse-Sensitivity

This website can be complicated, but thankfully, there are simple options among its many advanced features. Select XDefiant as the game you'd like to convert to, and whatever game you'd like to convert from. Put in your Sensitivity and DPI, and you're good to go.





Aiming.Pro

This is perhaps the most convenient and simplest of the bunch. Just select the games and it will convert your sensitivity. Unfortunately, XDefiant is not available on the site yet, but once it is, it may be your best bet.






Common game conversions

If you are playing XDefiant, you more than likely have played a shooter of some kind before. Whether you're trying it and coming from Overwatch, VALORANT, or even Fortnite, you can convert your sensitivity to XDefiant.



Here are what many believe are the best sentivitiy settings for multiple games, with a consideration of 800 DPI for each, and how they convert to the new Ubisoft FPS:

<p>Hearthstone announced that Theorycrafting streams return for the Festival of Legends expansion. During April 5 and 6, some streamers will be able to test the new instruments coming.</p>



<p>This Theorycrafting show will have something for everyone, with Twitch Drops giving out free packs and streamers giving away Festival of Legends Megabundles. Let's go over the details.</p>

<p>The usual -and somewhat controversial- theorycrafting event for the Festival of Legends will start on April 5 and will last for almost 24 hours. During the Theorycrafting event, some content creators will get early access to the new Festival of Legends expansion.</p>



<p>Streamers will be divided into three groups depending on their region and time zones. If you have a favorite player, make sure you know when they are going live:</p>



<ul><li>Americas/EMEA players will pick one of two time slots on April 5, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (PT) or 3:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (PT)</li><li>APAC players will play on April 6, 2:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. (PT) / 6:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. (KST)</li></ul>

<h3>Theorycrafting rules</h3>



<p>With the idea of highlighting the new Festival of Legends cards, this Theorycrafting event has some deckbuilding restrictions. Players have to include at least 10 Festival of Legends cards in each deck (counting duplicates).</p>



<p>This rule encourages participants to explore the possibilities that the new content brings. However, this time is not like they have many other options. The Festival of Legends expansion will bring the Hearthstone annual set rotation, so during the Theorycrafting only the sets from 2022 and 2023 -plus the updated core set- will be eligible to play.</p>

<h2>No Wild Theorycrafting</h2>



<p>For the first time, <a href="https://esports.gg/news/hearthstone/hearthstone-wild-mode-teases-big-plans-for-year-of-the-wolf/">there will be no Wild event</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/alkali_layke" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alkali</a>, part of the Hearthstone Community Manager team, gave Wild fans some comfort: "You may not see Wild in this event but stay tuned! We've got plans."</p>
