Activision Blizzard planning to port Overwatch, Warcarft to Mobile

Activision is planning to continue on its successful venture into mobile gaming market by potentially bringing all of its major franchise into the play. After a tremendously successful run with their first mobile title Call of Duty: Mobile, the Activision Blizzard President Daniel Alerge hinted that mobile market is very important to the company.

In their Q3 Call, Alerge stated their interest in bringing “all (Activision) franchises to mobile over time.” This points towards the company’s famous titles like Overwatch and Warcraft, which can soon enter into the world of mobile gaming.

The complete statement reads, “We need to make sure that we’re enabling our franchises on the billions of mobile devices that are available right now. That’s by far our biggest opportunity and we’re investing meaningfully to capitalize on this and to take all our franchises to mobile over time.”

Currently, Activision is already working on a mobile version of Diablo Immortal and more titles can potentially make their way on to this list starting with Call of Duty: Warzone. This game was assumed to come into mobile market due to a job listing confusion by Activision with no further leads pointing out towards a Warzone mobile game.

Call of Duty: Mobile successfully debuted in the mobile gaming world last year and now, the game is entering into China where over 50 million players have pre-registered to date. Activision Blizzard is not the only company to tap into the potential of mobile market as other titans like Riot Games and EA have already announced their own mobile titles namely League of Legends: Wild Rift and Apex Legends respectively.

Considering the fact that Overwatch and Warcraft have been major Activision Blizzard titles since their launch and this plausible statement of bringing all of their franchise could mean that Overwatch or Warcraft fans may soon get their hands on a portable version of their favourite game.

How to Farm Primogems in Genshin Impact

This is a guide about Primogems, a currency used in Genshin Impact. To learn about Primogems, their uses, and the best farming method of Primogems, read on.

How to Get Primogems in Genshin Impact

Get From Login Bonuses

Genshin_Impact_Login_Bonus.jpg

Occasionally, Mihoyo will feature an event called Seize the Day. It’s basically a login reward event and the rewards range from a lot of Mora to even Primogems! This event mostly happens when there’s new content so make sure to stay updated for all the latest info to maximize your Primogem earnings!

Purchase with Stardust and Starglitter

These items are obtained from wishes and can be used to avail other reward through Paimon’s bargain shop. But we highly recommend using them to purchase Primogems to be able to use more Wishes.

Obtain Through Mail

primogem mail.png

Primogems can be obtained through login bonus. An extremely fast way to get Primogems for players who played the game at launch. When issues happen in the game, Mihoyo also issues a mail that contains primogems. Make sure not to neglect those mails!

Clear Missions

commission.jpg

Primogems can be obtained by clearing missions. These missions include daily missions so make sure not to neglect doing them!

World quests are limited but to ensure a smooth flow of Primgems, make sure to atleast complete your commissions daily!

Open Treasure Chests and Activate Teleport Waypoints

Activating Waypoints and Treasure Chests gives you an option for a faster travel as well as loots. In addition to that, you can also obtain Primogems! Make sure to prioritize these two tasks due to their various benefits!

Open The Game Tips

Primogems 4.png

Upon encountering unknown features from the game, the game will explain it if you interact with the square UI on the lower center of the screen. Doing so will also reward you with Primogems.

How to Use Primogems in Genshin Impact

Exchange For Items Usable for Wishes

Genshin Impact - Acquaint Fate.pngGenshin_Impact_Intertwined_Fate.jpg
ItemPrimogem Cost
Intertwined Fate160 Primogems
Acquaint Fate160 Primogems

Each fate item that can be used for gachas are hard to acquire. They can be bought using primogems for 160 a piece. It is also recommended to purchase on the gacha screen instead of the shop to avoid buying the wrong type of item.

Original Resin Can Be Refilled

Primogem CostAmount Restored
1st try5060
2nd try10060
3rd try10060
4th try15060
5th try20060
6th try20060

It is possible to restore your Original Resin by spending Primogems. The maximum number of times this can be done is six times per day. The cost also increases for every restoration count so think before doing this!

We do not encourage doing this. Primogems is a currency that may seem abundant at the early stages of the game but will get scarce later on. Try to hold off on using Primogems carelessly.

Exceeding Original Resin Limit is Possible

It is completely possible to exceed your current Original Resin limit using this step.

Find the ‘Final Ruin’ in Genshin Impact

“Treasure Lost, Treasure Found” is one of the more interesting missions in the Liyue region of miHoYo’s RPG title Genshin Impact. The quest requires players to gather a number of treasures in the region before engaging in a boss fight at the end.

To initiate the “Treasure Lost, Treasure Found” quest, players will have to talk to the NPC Soraya, who can be found in Guili Plains located in the Guili Assembly.

After completing the initial stages of the quest, players will be given the task to find the “Final Ruins”.

The Final Ruins are located in the circular structure north of the Guili Assembly. The area can be identified by the positions of the four Jade Plates that players have to find in the first half of the quest. The Final Ruins lie in the centre of the locations of the four plates on the map.

If you’re still confused on where the Final Ruins are, its position is marked on the map below:

After finding the place, players can interact with the ruin to trigger a boss fight. The boss fight will require the player to defeat three disabled Ruin Guards for a reward of a Luxurious Chest and two Precious Chests. After defeating the bosses, players can return to Soraya and complete the quest to get further rewards.

Tencent’s Honor Kings hits 100M daily users on Mobile

Honor of Kings is the China-based MOBA game that is extremely famous in the country. The success of this game is incomparable to any other mobile game in the genre and it has set many records till date.

By 2017, Honor of Kings had over 80 million daily active players and 200 million monthly active players but the game has broken its own records to reach a landmark of 100 million active users for the first time in five years.

Honor of Kings is a multiplayer MOBA game developed by Tencent’s TiMi Studios and the game recently completed five years successfully.

On the occasion of this five year anniversary, Tencent released some information that revealed many landmarks of the game, most significant one being the daily active users landmark.

Honor of Kings became immensely popular in China right from the launch and owing to this success, the game was released globally under the name of Arena of Valor in 2017. Tencent first approached Riot Games in 2015 with the hopes of recreating the mobile version of their famous title League of Legends.

They were turned down by Riot with the claims that the “gameplay could not be replicated on smartphones”, after which Tencent created their own game which was launched under the name of Honor of Kings.

Riot later announced their own project named as League of Legends: Wild Rift, which is LOL on mobile and console devices. This game is currently undergoing open beta testing in the SEA region.

On the special anniversary event, Tencent also announced that they will be launching an officially licensed Bruce Lee skin to celebrate their success story of five years. Honor of Kings is a major title in China and the is always on the top of the charts of monthly player spending data released by SensorTower. The global version of this game also has a large esports ecosystem based in the SEA region.

Looking at the success story of this game, the interpretation of mobile MOBA games in China is basically Honor of Kings till date but things can take a different turn in the upcoming years. League of Legends is a very popular title in the country and the upcoming Wild Rift can potentially topple these kings to claim the throne.

PUBG Mobile working in India despite the shutdown

PUBG Mobile was expected to fully shut down in India when Tencent announced that they were closing down all their PUBG Mobile operations in India but the picture is quite different. Despite the game technically rendered unplayable, players are still finding various ways to enjoy PUBG Mobile in India. This time, players are opting for PUBG Mobile Korean version to solve enjoy the game despite of the imposed ban.

PUBG Mobile was banned in India alongside several other Chinese apps which were declared as a threat to the national security and user privacy. The IT Ministry of India imposed this ban on PUBG Mobile under the pretext of them being “involved in activities against India’s sovereignty, defense and security of states and public order.”

Since this ban, the first obvious outcome was that the game itself will be completely useless in India but that was not the case. After the ban, the game was taken down from official App stores but still, it was working completely fine. PUBG Corporation severed its ties with Tencent for Indian region within a week of this ban but still, the game was running in the country for almost two months until Tencent finally stated that they are stepping away from the Indian region for PUBG Mobile and shut down all of their operations in the country.

After this decision, PUBG Mobile servers were closed down in India and players were unable to play this game for a while but PUBG enthusiasts found out a method that solved this problem as well. The global version of PUBG Mobile is now replaced with a Korean version of the game which is completely similar to PUBG Mobile but with different servers and user IDs.

PUBG Mobile Korean version is easily accessible in the country and this shift allows players to enjoy the game at the cost of losing all their previous achievements, costumes, ranks and more. This shift is like a new start for most of the players and the game is becoming quite popular in the community as well.

This game may not be the perfect alternative for the entire PUBG Mobile esports scene in India but can be considered as a boon for the casual players. Despite the ban, PUBG Mobile can be still considered to be in a working condition in India but under a different name and form.

Pokimane caps donations to her Twitch channel to $5

Popular Twitch Streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys announced yesterday on Twitter that she would be limiting the amount of donations that could be given to her on Twitch.

worked with @streamlabs to create a donation cap of $5 for my channel! Thank you for supporting me to the point where I consider anything more than that unnecessary. To anyone that was more generous- please support growing channels, charities, and treat yourselves.Red heartSmiling face with smiling eyes

Pokimane On Twitter

Pokimane Donation Cap

In an unprecedented move, the most famous female streamer announced that through a Twitch addon called Streamlabs, she would limit the maximum donation amount that anyone could give to $5. She added that anything more was “unnecessary” and that her supporters who had more money should give it to charities, up and coming streamers or just treat themselves.

The tweet, which has been liked by over 50,000 users, got her a lot of support from the community with everyone respecting the decision that she made.

It does not mean that she will earn a lot less, though. Combining sponsored streams, donations and brand endorsements, the Morrocon-Canadian earns upwards of $3 Million, with the number set to be growing. The current announcement is only a limit to the amount of donations that she receives.

While some might say that it is a bad move for business, apart from the goodwill and respect she has earned from the community, it should not affect most of her other revenue lines. Pokimane has previously donated $50,000 to UC Irvine for an Esports Scholarship, so she is not privy to donating money either.

Averaging over 16,000 viewers per stream, Pokimane’s popularity is soaring through the pandemic, with this move certain to increase it even further. One can hope that this decision will influence more big names to consider doing something similar.
