Hearthstone’s Undertaker gets a nerf: no more health buff

Blizzard have handed down another nerf smackdown to a card in the Hearthstone game, finally making it a little less of a pain to go up against. The card in the firing line this time? Undertaker.

 

Previously the Undertaker’s card text read “Whenever you summon a minion with Deathrattle gain +1/+1” which in special Deathrattle decks could lead to an Undertaker getting buffed to hell in one turn. Blizzard have now revised it to merely “Whenever you summon a minion with Deathrattle, gain +1 Attack”. This means while it will still be a powerful card if played right, its less of a fully-armed fortress and more of a glass cannon now.

Blizzard’s community manager Zeriyah explained the need to make the change saying “Undertaker was frustrating to play against. It often gained both Attack and Health stats significantly above those of other inexpensive minions very early in the game. With this change, we expect Undertaker will still be better than other 1-Mana minions when played in a deck with a Deathrattle theme, but more likely to die in combat against other minions.”

 

The Undertaker’s been a bit of an issue for a few months, having been released in the Naxxramas event and some of the cards included in December’s expansion, Goblins vs. Gnomes were noticeably set up to counter Deathrattles in an attempt to solve the problem. Seems it wasn’t enough though so the Undertaker’s health buff had to go.

Xbox One controller quicker, less wonky with latest preview

XBox-One-Controller

 

If you’ve been experiencing random disconnection with your Xbox One’s controller, there may be relief in site, according to a Major Nelson blog post. The latest preview features a controller update that’s supposed to fix “(stability) issues submitted by customers and preview participants.”

 

We’re not sure if that means it specifically addresses the disconnection problem, but we’ve asked Microsoft for more info. Meanwhile, the controller will also connect to the Xbox in around two seconds now instead of five, a boon only to the truly impatient. Preview members can get the fix by downloading the console update, then connecting their controller to the console with a USB cable and following the instructions here.

FNAF3 is revealed with an atmospheric trailer

After a few weeks of speculation over the mysterious first teaser image, as well as the implications of a second image that showed the faceplates of the second game’s ‘Toy’ animatronics in a box (as well as the mystery creature from the first image when brightened). Now a trailer has been released by the games’ maker and you know what the most shocking thing was to me?

 

That mystery figure wasn’t the infamous Golden Freddy… what is though is just a little bit terrifying.

 

 

The game’s also on Steam Greenlight, which also reveals a lot of teaser images as well as the story this time round:

 

“Thirty years after Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza closed it’s doors, the events that took place there have become nothing more than a rumor and a childhood memory, but the owners of “Fazbear’s Fright: The Horror Attraction” are determined to revive the legend and make the experience as authentic as possible for patrons, going to great lengths to find anything that might have survived decades of neglect and ruin. 

At first there were only empty shells, a hand, a hook, an old paper-plate doll, but then a remarkable discovery was made… 

The attraction now has one animatronic.”

 

There’s no more information to go off yet besides what we can get from the trailer and the two teaser images, but it should be interesting. I hope it will provide a satisfactory end to the games though, because as a fan of them I think 3 games might be just enough for Freddy… or whoever this animatronic is.

Ubisoft rescind “fraudulent” game keys

Over the weekend a number of Uplay accounts had games suddenly vanish from their libraries. These users took to the Ubisoft forums to enquire about why this had happened and Ubisoft have provided an answer. They’re actively seeking out and disabling keys that they believe were obtained in a fraudulent manner through bad credit cards and then resold.

 

The keys in questions came from a number of third-party sites, such as Kinguin and G2A, the latter seems to be where the majority of users who have lost access to their game bought keys from and it isn’t the first time G2A keys have been found to be obtained in a fraudulent manner. Back in April 2014 Devolver disabled a number of keys for game keys purchased through the site. People still buy from third-party sites though because they will often sell the keys at a lower price than the official channels will.

 

ubisoft

 

A Ubisoft rep issued a statement earlier to Eurogamer that read:

 

“We regularly deactivate keys that were fraudulently obtained and resold. In this case, we are currently investigating the origin of the fraud, and will update customers as soon as we have more information to share. In the meantime, customers should contact the vendor from whom they purchased the key.”

 

As always the moral of the story is that if you buy third-party, you take a risk on your key later being rescinded. Most third-party sites do have the policy of refunding keys that no longer work though, so if you’ve been affected contact them. You can only try.
