Vindictus: Defying Fate mixes heavy boss battles with a Celtic setting. On Steam, you can now test a TeMinecraft gets a brand new weapon that theoretically kills every enemy with one blow

The mace is currently being tested in Minecraft and has some very exciting strategic possibilities

Although Minecraft is one of the biggest and most creative sandboxes of all time, the choice of melee weapons is surprisingly limited. Without mods, you basically only have three fully-fledged melee weapons at your disposal, if we disregard tools such as pickaxes or shovels.

But soon there will be a fourth type of weapon in Minecraft, which is currently being discussed by the community. The new weapon is a mace, which in theory has a very powerful ability. In practice, however, it will not always be so easy to implement

What the mace can do

The mace is swung with one hand and can therefore also be combined with a shield, for example. On its own, the mace is already an extremely good weapon, inflicting seven points of damage with each blow and having an attack speed of 1.6. This makes the mace about as strong as a diamond sword

However, it has another special feature. The mace deals more damage when you fall from above onto an opponent. The lower you fall, the higher the damage This is unlimited, so you can theoretically finish off any opponent with one hit. The fall damage is also negated if you hit someone. One X user already shows the potential of this mechanic:

How to get the mace

Like the sword and the axe, the mace can also be crafted and is therefore different from the last newly introduced melee weapon. That was the trident, which was added to the game six years ago and can still only be found as loot. You can make the new mace yourself, but the material for it is not so easy to find

You will need a Heavy Core and a Blast Rod to craft it. While you simply have to clear a gust for the gust rod, you have to unlock a safe in a test chamber for the heavy core. There is only a 2.2 percent chance of finding a Heavy Core inside

The mace will be integrated into the Java and Bedrock versions of Minecraft in a future updateProbably with update 1.21, which is expected in mid-2024 However, you can already try it out now. All you have to do is switch to the current development version 24w11a in the launcher, or 1.20.80.22 if you are playing Bedrock.

Diablo IV: Blizzard announces date for next Campfire Chat

Blizzard has finally confirmed the date for the next Campfire Chat. In it, they want to talk about the upcoming season of Diablo IV and its features.

Even though the Blizzard community is generally enthusiastic about Diablo IV, the fantasy RPG still has one major weakness: itemization. We recently explained what this is all about. Blizzard had already announced in advance that they wanted to tackle this flaw with the upcoming fourth season, but there had been no details about its launch until now.

These will finally follow on 

March 20 at 7pm 

as part of the new Campfire Chat on 

Twitch and YouTube . Community Director Adam Fletcher, Associate Game Designer Charles Dunnn, Lead Live Class Designer Adam Jackson and Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora will talk about the upcoming new features and give a first look into the upcoming season of Diablo IV.

In addition, the four want to talk about the also announced 

Public Test Realm

 of Diablo IV, which 

will only be available to BattleNet users on PC.

 This will go live before the actual start of the season, giving the development team the opportunity to respond to community feedback before the season goes live.

Following the official announcement, there will be a

Q&A segment

 where viewers can ask the team direct questions.

What is Vindictus: Defying Fate?

The action role-playing game focuses on crisp combat and is reminiscent of titles such as Devil May Cry, Darksiders or Bayonetta.

You take on various enemies and giant bosses with medieval weaponry and have to dodge or parry their attacks at the right moment.

In between, you can use light and strong blows with your sword or use one of your active skills. A trailer shows what the fights look like:

The test version only contains a small part of the game currently in development and is primarily intended to introduce you to the combat system. You may also encounter technical teething troubles here

On 

Steam

 and the official 

Discord server

 the developers reveal further details about their plans for Vindictus:

World:

 There will be no open world in the action role-playing game. Instead, you can expect several unique regions in which exciting experiences

 

 await you. The developers have not revealed whether these will be freely explorable areas or more closed levels. Visually, the world and its inhabitants are inspired by Celtic mythology.

Story:

 The story of Vindictus is not yet present in the test version, but there will be a story campaign in the finished game.

Boss battles:

 The attacks of boss enemies always follow a certain pattern. You either cannot parry their attacks or cannot dodge them, so you need to react correctly.

Characters:

 Two different characters can be selected in the test version, but there are significantly more in the finished game. Not only do they look different, but they also each require their own style of play.

Multiplayer:

 There will also be a multiplayer mode for the release of Vindictus. This is initially only geared towards co-op, there are no plans yet for battles against other players.

When will Vindictus: Defying Fate be released?

 In an FAQ, the developers state that they do not yet have a fixed release schedule. There is also no rough release timeframe mentioned.

The currently playable part of Vindictus was developed in just one year. However, as the game is set to become much bigger, you will probably have to wait even longer.
