The randomized dungeons are the biggest feature arriving in Albion Online with the Oberon update on March 20th, but they might be a bigger feature than you’re aware of. The latest discussion from the developers talks about the mechanics behind the randomized dungeons and what lurks within, but it also talks about why this is a big feature for the game as a whole, starting with the fact that it’s new PvE content to bring people into the open world. That alone is a good reason to be excited. Beyond that, however, the addition of randomized dungeons also means building the tech to provide alternative form of randomized content and more dynamic things spawning in the open world. The infrastructure will be in place for things like gathering dungeons, raid dungeons, and other unusual spawns throughout the open world. Last but not least, it keeps players from finding the “most profitable” content and chain-running it, since randomized dungeons are, well, random.

Epic Games yanks Fortnite ads from YouTube over super gross child exploitation expose
Welp, if there’s anything that might finally convince Google to overhaul its horrible, awful, no-good YouTube video algorithms that somehow start you with puppy vids and get you to creepy conspiracy vids in five clicks, it’s the loss of that sweet, sweet Fortnite ad revenue. As The Verge reports, former YouTuber Matt Watson this week exposed how innocuous searches were now leading to “disturbing and exploitative videos of children” with comments overtly sexualizing the young people within them. Apparently, Epic Games is having none of that, and it’s joining other advertisers – Kotaku mentions McDonalds and Nestle – in yanking its ads from YouTube, presumably until Google cleans up the pool. For its part, YouTube says it “took immediate action by deleting accounts and channels, reporting illegal activity to authorities and disabling violative comments,” though of course the real problem is how Google aims to prevent it from happening … [Read more...] about Epic Games yanks Fortnite ads from YouTube over super gross child exploitation expose
Blizzard Randomly Polling Hearthstone Players About Rastakhan’s Rumble & the Importance of Competitive Play
A couple of threads have cropped up on the Hearthstone Reddit about a recent survey sent out to players. The questions cover a wide variety of topics regarding the game in general and the recently released Rastakhan's Rumble expansion in particular. A couple queries in particular piqued our interest: "How important are Blizzard sponsored Hearthstone tournaments to you?" and "If there were no Blizzard sponsored Hearthstone tournaments, how likely are you to play Hearthstone in the next 30 days?" The timing of the lengthy survey, particularly with those questions attached to it, is worrisome to players after the recent gutting of the Blizzard-sponsored competitive portion of Heroes of the Storm. The abrupt cancellation of the HotS tournament league came after professional players were assured at BlizzCon 2018 that it would be continuing in 2019. As a result, the survey questions have led some Redditors to wonder if Hearthstone's competitive league is next. This survey has led to YouTuber … [Read more...] about Blizzard Randomly Polling Hearthstone Players About Rastakhan’s Rumble & the Importance of Competitive Play
