CoD: Warzone 2 DMZ – How To Access New Koschei Complex Exclusion Zone

Posted on By Charlielikes

Season 3 Reloaded is live in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, bringing a brand-new exclusion zone to DMZ mode. Instead of being a completely separate map to choose like Ashika Island or Building 21, Koschei Complex is only accessible by locating entrances around Al Mazrah. Here are all the different ways you can enter this secret location.

How to locate Koschei Complex access points

There are four entrances for the Koschei Complex map. Three are labeled as a question mark icon on the Tac-Map for Al Mazrah, and a fourth is an unmarked location. These bunker entrances will teleport you to the new map, but regardless of the path, there will be a unique puzzle to complete for each entrance.

One question mark is at Rohan Oil, and you’ll be able to reach this entrance by heading down into Rohan’s access tunnels. There are doors open on both sides of the underground area, but you’re looking for the garage door that’s only partially raised to crouch under.

WoW: Dragonflight’s New “Simple” Upgrade System Is Resulting In Some Complex Cheat Sheets

Posted on By Charlielikes

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Embers of Neltharion update introduced a new, more universal gear upgrade system that Blizzard hoped would make gearing in the MMORPG simpler. And while the new system certainly has its share of benefits over the old system, it has also left some players scratching their heads and consulting some complicated-looking charts in order to grasp it.

The new system makes it so PvE gear earned from raids, the open world, and Mythic+ dungeons can be upgraded using currencies called Flightstones and Shadowflame Crests, replacing one-off systems like the old Valor system that was used exclusively to upgrade Mythic+ gear. It sounds good on paper, and it is definitely a great way for those who are more focused on open world content or raiding to continue progressing their characters by doing a wider variety of content. Blizzard said in a FAQ the goal of the system was to keep the “base player experience simple.”

Simple, however, seems up for debate. While Flightstones are earned from just about any endgame activity and are fairly straightforward, the real confusion surrounding the new system stems from the multiple different types of crests, crest fragments, and sub-divisions of gear that dictate how powerful a particular piece of gear can become. Depending on the difficulty of the content the gear was acquired from, it requires different types of crests to be upgraded. That has led to confused players attempting to help their fellow gamers make sense of it all in the form of various different flow charts and “cheat sheets,” like the one below from Reddit user ernest314. Another chart from user ChiefSach breaks it down in a different way.

Following a series of rapid-response alterations to newcomer Lifeweaver, game director Aaron Keller reflects on the Overwatch 2 team’s modern hero design philosophy and the importance of “high-impact abilities.”

Is The Last Starship hard because it’s a complex early access sim, or because I’m bad?

Posted on By Charlielikes

Introversion Software are, we can infer, at home in simulation games by now, what with their most famous game Prison Architect having a bajillion DLCs that, at this point, can add zombies, rehabilitation, or the jungle to your prison. Their new one is called The Last Starship, a layered spaceship simulator that’s less friendly than their prison. I am not sure if it’s because the early access is still largely without any tutorial markers, or because I am very bad at the game.
