Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand. FANTASTIC!

X35 Earthwalker Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is fantastic! X35 Earthwalker has been really getting into this game and it’s turned up for real. Atlas Fallen at first had some stuff going on but didn’t bring in the people or have the action like that. Then the developers took the actual good feedback, and not the hate from idiots on the internet, and made a big update that changed basically everything. The developers ‘Deck 13’ have done a fantastic job and we respect y’all for it. Spread the news ‘Focus Entertainment’. Come on. Let’s take a look.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is a whole new game. The update offed so much that it can be called a whole new experience. First of all learn about what’s new. Watch this trailer.

So new enemies, new intro, new voice acting, new essence stones right? There’s also new armour, new customisation options, improved VFX, UI and sounds. There’s also some other upgrades and improvements too. We can confirm the most important parts of this. The customisation is more hilarious than effective though. There’s some stuff that look silly but there’s a few so far that’s actually good. They could do more when it comes to customisation but we respect it. Dao much change has happened that the developers even said “While you can carry over progress from your old character, starting a new playthrough is highly recommended for the optimal experience.”

The action is the best. Things flow nicely in Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand. The many essence stones add so many moves and abilities. There’s multiple ways to play. You have have 3 presets, which means multiple builds and you can switch between them on the fly to fit the situation. The sand skin combined with aerial combat with the combo potential with the different weapons leads to some satisfying moments and clean battles. Some essence stones are clearly better than others but have a use still… for the most part.

Probably best of all is that Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is available on Xbox Game Pass. So Xbox players can play and get a real feel for the game. Xbox is the best place to play Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand.

Overall Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is definitely worth playing. It is fantastic and the lore should not be underestimated. Read, listen and collect them all to get more information. Now Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand may have the massive game changing update but it’s still not enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Palworld Biggest Update. Continues to Grow

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Palworld Update

This is going to be about Palworld. It’s been a while and you guys already know I made a video on it. I spoke about the updates that came in July to Palworld which added a bunch of new things. This is without doubt the biggest update that Palworld has ever received. X35 Earthwalker is easily one of the biggest supporters of Palworld. Now there’s more for us to dive into. Palworld is an Xbox exclusive.

There’s a lot that could be done as well. First of all they call this update the 0.3.3. There’s this whole new island. It brought in PvP options which is interesting because every time when people think of like these monster catching games and stuff like that, creature capture and all that, they always think of like battles and you know PvP like Nexomon, Palworld has definitely got their thing.

So first of all, you’ve got what’s known as the, it’s basically the mushroom island, the land of mushrooms. Giant mushrooms. That’s what it is. You know, the Sakurajima island. It’s also introduced new pals as well. You can see shroomers and these silly little frogs that’s got like these sticks and they, well, they want to beat you with it. They do kind of low key. Remind me of Farfetch’d. Anyway, believe it or not that the way they dress, they annoy me. Just looking at them annoys me. There’s also what they call Mimogs. They’re basically
mimics. They’re like chests, but they don’t look like the other chests you usually find. So they’re very easy to identify. I’ve seen them in like a few other places but also a volcanic place as well.

It was kind of like, what are you guys doing here? I attacked it and it dropped some, you know, coins. And was we’re thinking, oh, coins, what do you mean coins? Yeah, they’re called ‘Dog coin’. I’ve got a few of them now. And the description says the “mysterious coin apparently there are people who collect these and mimog will usually have them. But for some reason, they cannot be obtained by butchering it”. Yeah, video game logic.

X35 Earthwalker Palworld Update

There are new, you can say alternative forms of pals out there, some call them subspecies, some say alternate, you know. And you can find, for example, them in like different colours, you know, how they have the different types. So that’s for you to look out for. So those of you who are like, gotta get em all, you got more to look out for as you hunt them down. Catch everything And maybe do it fast. After all it’s the fastest way to level up in this game anyway. For example, there is a pink chillet. Pink chillet is a thing. So those of you like pinky stuff, have fun. You want to rock a pink suit. Maybe could rock with a pink chillet.

Of course, as I mentioned, the PVP arena, I’ve actually went to there myself.  It’s like to the east. It’s the east of the map. So if you were to go up to where the free pal alliance tower entrance is and you scroll across a lot, just go literally east, go straight to the right, just straight across. You will see an island. Now, if you haven’t been there, you haven’t discovered it on your map. But basically, just follow that line and you will end up reaching the arena. It’ll be marked as arena entrance when you get there. If you want another indication of where it is, do you guys remember like the desert area that’s to the northeast? When you find that menasting boss, his location on the map.
From him, go directly like southeast and you go there. It’s like, it’s off the coast. You’ve got to go across the water. So bring a serfent with you or pal that flies and go across the water. And you’ll make your way there and you see an arena entrance.

X35 Earthwalker Palworld Update

And as a place that allows you to do, 3v3 pal and player combat. Now, that’s a problem because if it says pal, that’s one thing. But if it’s pal AND player, meaning somebody’s going to be in there firing rocket launches at you. Oh, no, not about that, bro. I bet since it just came out, the balancing is probably going to be whack. In addition there’s also going to be a new tower. A new boss tower on the Sakurajima island. I haven’t gone to the tower yet, but I’ve seen it in the distance. There is off course a new major boss. Make sure to gather a good amount of fragments and go use that summoning altar. I’ve been collecting the blazamat ones. So when you use those slab fragments, put them in there and bam, you get yourself a whole new monster that you’re going to have to jump. Make it happen.

Of course, new weapons and other technology. This means new materials that I didn’t show in the video, but this plasteel and this crude oil. Crude oil extractor to get all that good but not so rich oil. Glass buildings and foundations are a thing and they do look good. 

Remember I showed you in video how the ranks have increased. You could say technology has increased. So it’s no longer 50 anymore. It’s now gone ip to 55. The level cap for Pals has increased also. So instead of just being level 50, I’m now level 55 and so are multiple Pals I have. So we are the strongest we can be. Obviously, we’ve got to use the souls to improve their stats. So that’s something people who been in this game for a long time will be grinding and doing. They’re going to have lots of these souls and they’re going to max out HP max out attack max out defense. And for those who are working hard… work speed.

Next mission for us is exploring mushroom island… you know, Sakurajima islands. We do hope that the developers make it so that players can fast travel to fast travel points from the map instead of finding a fast travel point. Make things easier for players. We already showed the meteorite event where alien Pals are present at the crash site. There’s also the supply drops as well. Palworld has gotten bigger and better than ever before. There’s more to do. Even end game players can jump back in to find more.

Overall Palworld is getting more as expected. A massive game with a lot of room for more. X35 Earthwalker will continue to explore and conquer. Palworld may have got a massive update, but it’s still too small when compared to the ‘Earth Walk!’

Xbox One. Big update

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

The big update for the Xbox One is here. There have been been some big changes and straight up we can say that we are happy with it. If you are an Xbox gamer then you just have to check this out.

The first thing you’ll notice with this big update is your Xbox will let you know that the ‘Xbox button’ now functions differently. Remember when you wanted to snap an app to your screen so you could do two things at once but then sometimes your double tap doesn’t go through and is counted as a single tap? Well that won’t happen anymore. This big update fixed all that. Now just by pressing the button once you bring up the newly enhanced Guide as an overlay on the left hand side of your screen. Then with one more button you can bring up Game DVR in an instant to record your best moments. This makes things so much easier. X35 Earthwalker has had moments when during a match something happened and he needs to quickly record the last 30 seconds but double taps and instead gets taken to the home page and then has to go back in and maybe get killed trying to record that. That will never happen again thanks to this. Also Game DVR no longer snaps to the right hand side of your  screen reducing the screen of your game. It records in the back ground like it should. Great decision Xbox. We love it! 

Next obvious change you’ll notice, because of the big update, is how the home page and UI looks. It’s a different design. It first of all allows you to see your background much better. It looks more neat we would say and there are additional features to the guide on the left handside like an achievement tracker to make getting those achievements easier since you’ll know how much more you have to do or how many enemies you got left or a reminder of what the achievement was while gaming. There is also an easier access to the achievement leaderboard for those who are in competition with their friends over who can get the gain the most gamer score points and who reigns over their friends. It’s a nice feature as at the end of the day you should always aim to make things easier to do. Nothing is more annoying than knowing you can do something cool but it’s complex or requires too many steps. Make it simple which is what Xbox has done. 

If you checked everything in the guide then you would have noticed another large change thanks to the big update. That’s right. It’s Beam. Have you ever wanted to stream? Wanted your friends and others to watch you live in action kicking butt and making your opponents rage quit? Well now you can and best of all, it’s simple and easy to do. Just select Beam and then if you agree you can do the simple settings for your stream like where your camera (if you have one) would go, where your chat feed would go whether you want microphone enabled etc. Select your name for that stream or keep the default one and then select ‘Start broadcast’ to begin. It’s that simple. Straight away this is an excellent feature to have. Even if you don’t want to use it, you at least have the option which is almost always a good thing. Now there are some more stuff like ‘Screen time limits’ which would allow yourself or parents to set how long you or your child can be on the Xbox for. It’s about responsibility. Don’t be one of those people who sit in front of the Xbox for 12 hours and do nothing else. That’s sad. There’s ‘blue-ray bitstream passthrough’ which basically allows your receiver to decode audio natively. All the formats for bitstream are supported, including newer ones like DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. These are the main changes in the big update.

Overall we at X35 Earthwalker are happy with this big update. It adds some cool new stuff to the Xbox making it a more powerful and useful console for sure. The best part is that quite a lot of things have been made more simple now like streaming and using game DVR. The team at Xbox did a fantastic job and it must be said. Thank you for all your hard work Xbox. This is worth checking out but whether you are happy with the big update or not… be happy with the ‘Earth Walk!’

Halo wars 2 big update

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Halo wars 2 has received a big update that contains many changes and some new content. This big update is so big that it’s worth checking out. We mean it. Every Halo wars 2 gamer needs to check it out before playing anymore matches.

First of all the fact that this update is here shows that the developers ‘343 industries’ and ‘Creative assembly’ do listen to their fans and gamers who play their game. That’s a good sign. There is lots to say so lets just jump right in.

Leader powers have been effected. Now Shipmaster’s Scout mines can no longer be dropped on buildings to do big damage. This is fair as it can be used to destroy buildings straight out.
The Banished Cleansing Beam speed has been slightly reduced to make escaping it easier. We agree with the speed being reduced and so don’t have a problem with it.
ODSTs cost increased from 600 to 800 and their HP has been slightly decreased. This is fine. Nothing too big here. 

Concerning Economy they have adjusted the Supply income curve to give less of a bonus income on the first few Supply Pads/Warehouses, but less limiting as player’s build additional pads. So now players who have multiple bases have a bigger advantage over those with one base.

Now concerning Sergeant Forge they have removed the discount on Supply Pads and Reactors in the “Rolling Economy” leader power. Thank goodness. We are so glad. Rolling economy made Forge the strongest leader in the game. We are so glad it’s gone. Also Accelerated Assembly has switched places with Lotus Mines. We also think that’s fair. Stronger abilities should be available later, not early.

Concerning rush and counter-infantry units
Jump Pack Brutes
have Increased HP
Increased basic DPS
Slight increase to move speed

Hellbringers
Significant increase to HP
Significant increase to fire damage dealt to basic infantry units
Slight move speed increase
Cost reduced from 80/50 to 80/40
Reduced pre-attack and post-attack cooldown to improve responsivenes
We disagree with this. Hell bringers have enough health already. We do agree with damage against infantry and movement speed but everything else not so much.

Suicide Grunts (Not Blitz Suicide Grunts)
Increased HP
Base damage decreased
Base AOE range increased
Move speed slightly increased
Charge distance increased
Charge speed decreased
Cost reduced from 100/25 to 100/20
Suicide grunts if anything should be boosted in every sense after all their job is to run at the army and make things go boom. We have never seen anyone use them in a standard match but will this update to them be enough to convince players?

Elite Rangers
Significantly increased HP
Armor type changed to be more resistant to small arms fire from Marine & Grunt squads
Faster projecticles that don’t miss as often
Cost reworked from 80/110 to 125/90
DPS increased
Finally! The Elite Rangers were absolutely useless. They lost to marines, Hellbringers… They lost to everything and did very little damage but now they should actually be worth using.

Scout units
Reduced ram reflect damage, so will now take less damage when ramming
Reduced damage versus buildings

Jackrabbit
Cost reduced from 220/15 to 200/12
Ghost
Cost reduced from 265/20 to 230/15
Chopper
Cost reduced from 280/20 to 245/15

Counter vehicle units
Hunters
Cost reduced from 150/200 to 160/160
DPS reduced
We don’t agree with this change. I mean have you not seen the hunters in every other Halo game? They blow everything up in one shot. They should be strong anti vehicles but let’s see how this turns out.

Cyclops
Cost changed from 120/150 to 120/120
DPS reduced

Tanks
Wraiths
HP significantly increased
Shields significantly increased
Build time reduced
Cost changed from 550/40 to 525/70
Plasma Cannon DPS increased
Plasma Mortar DPS increased
Plasma Mortar Fire rate increased
Y ability initial damage increased significantly
Incoming healing reduced
We are saying this for both the wraith and scorpion tanks. This is one of the best changes. The tanks need to be powerful. We felt that wraiths before got destroyed more easily and didn’t stand out much. This should now encourage players to use them a bit more. What a big update indeed.

Scorpion
HP increased
Cost changed from 650/50 to 600/90
Machinegun DPS increased
Cannon DPS increased
Cannon AOE size decreased
Canister shell DPS increased
Canister shell AOE size increased
Incoming healing reduced

Grizzly
HP increased
Machinegun DPS increased
Missile pod DPS increased
Cannon DPS increased
Missile Barrage ability damage increased
Well if the regular scorpion gets stronger then it makes sense to boost the Grizzly as well.

Core infantry
Grunts
Grunt squad build time reduced
Overall DPS increased for basic and mine-upgrade squads
Overall DPS increased for pack brother-upgrade squads
This is a good change. Grunts were laughable even when upgraded but now it looks like they should be quite equal to marines as it should be. Grunts or marines shouldn’t be clearly stronger than the other.

Marines
Grenade DPS decreased
Grenade large AOE size reduced
Marine Assault rifle DPS slightly decreased

Protector Sentinels
Move speed decreased
No longer has a huge damage bonus vs. buildings
General DPS decreased
Lockdown Bolt damage decreased significantly
We know that almost everyone has been waiting for this. It’s pretty much everything we at X35 Earthwalker asked for. Now they don’t melt bases within seconds and aren’t as fast meaning your armies can actually catch them to fight them. Finally!

Banshees
Banshee Plasma Torpedo damage significantly reduced
We never cared but do agree with this. The plasma torpedo should be an assist to fight air not count as a proper anti-air unit level of damage. So yeah, good job with this one.

Locusts
Basic DPS slightly reduced
Line of sight range reduced
Weapon range reduced
We agree with the weapon range and damage reduction. Locusts annoyed us. They should be for destroying buildings and that’s their main purpose only.

Base turrets
UNSC and Banished upgraded turrets DPS increased
Banished turrets HP increased
UNSC turrets build time reduced
Banished turret build time reduced
We also agree with this. Turrets should be able to hold their ground against enemies that come but not against armies. When you fall back to your base, you should feel safe to some extent knowing that you can make a stand there.

Strongholds
UNSC and Banished HQ HP increased to a constant, high HP amount across all tech tiers

The big update also brought some new content as well. Basically ranked matches.

Halo Wars 2 Xbox One Playlists:

Ranked 1v1 War
Ranked 2v2 War
Ranked 3v3 War
(Blitz) Standard
(Blitz) Brawl
(Blitz) Ranked Standard
(Blitz) Ranked Brawl
We agree that their should be ranked for those who want to do that. Honestly they should have had this before but whatever, we aren’t in their studios knowing what’s going on.

Halo Wars 2 Windows 10 Playlists:

Ranked 1v1 War
Ranked 2v2 War
Ranked 3v3 War
(Blitz) Standard
(Blitz) Brawl
(Blitz) Ranked Brawl 

Overall we are very happy with this big update as it addresses many big issues but also helps make things more balanced. Adjustments to Forge, sentinels and tanks were our favourites though. X35 Earthwalker himself is excited to get back on the battle field and give these changes a try. Whether you are happy with the big update or not… You must be happy about the ‘Earth Walk!’

Halo 5 Monitor’s bounty update

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

 

The halo 5 ‘Monitor’s bounty’ came out on the 8th of December 2016. The big update on halo 5 is so far excellent. ‘343 Industries’ has done a lot of things right with this one indeed. Let’s start with the Warzone updates. The fact that they finally added difficulty modes that we can choose for Warzone firefight makes a big difference. There is now ‘heroic’, ‘legendary’ and the terrifying ‘mythic’ firefight modes. ‘Heroic’ is much easier and allows for casual games in your fight against both covenant and Prometheans alike. ‘Legandary’ is the mode we all know and love. Mythic is the mode that spartans have learnt to fear. It’s basically legendary but they have added some skulls from campaign mode into this, which makes all the difference here. In round one of firefight the skull tough luck is activated which means that all enemies will continually dodge grenades and don’t run away. Round two has tough luck and black eye which means that your shields never recharge until you melee an enemy (good luck doing that on legendary). Round three has tough luck, black eye and thunderstorm which means that all enemies have been upgraded. For example casual blue elites get promoted to red or above elites which have more shields and at times better weapons. Round four has the previous skulls plus catch which means that the enemies are now grenade happy, constantly using grenades. Round 5 has all the previous skulls plus mythic which increases the health of all the enemies, including the bosses!

We must say though that mythic firefight is really hard and creates a good challenge. Two team mates and I had tanks (one of them was a Hannibal scorpion) and were hitting the grunt mech boss hard and it was doing very little. Most likely because of the mythic skull. X35 Earthwalkers first attempt at this was a fail.

We was also very glad to see the grenade launcher from halo reach show up to warzone. This weapon makes handling those vehicles easier as when you hold the trigger and then let go, it becomes an emp grenade disabling all vehicles it hits. This weapon is also great for harassing enemy bases as you can bounce shots around corners to hit hiding Spartans who think they can recharge their shields. Not gonna happen. The second tier grenade launcher aka ‘Pro pipe’ is really cool and it adds more skill to the weapon. It has an enhanced bounce trajectory. Basically the grenade bounces towards enemies after hitting a wall or the ground. The sentinel beam from halo 3 is something I wanted for a long time in Warzone and it’s finally here, dishing out laser burns and death. I hope they bring a level 2 and 3 tier sentinel beam as the current one just makes enemies panic (as it should).

There is now also the Oni and Hannibal wasps (tier 2 & 3 wasp vehicles) which so far the most popular things that I see in the skies of Warzone matches. They aren’t too tough and just add more variety to the game. The designs look very nice, easy to identify them and there upgraded weapons look deadly enough. We like them, especially destroying them. We haven’t tried the anti-air wraith yet but seen it in action a bit. I hope the fuel rod shots home in on air. It looks vicious though and truly hope that it can clear the skies.

The update also brought in character voices like the monitor, grunt and buck from halo Odst. Basically when you have spartan Palmer doing announcements like a base has been captured or a boss appear, you can unlock and choose what voice you want. It’s a nice addition and idea (personally I just want the monitor voice).

They split up the game modes in arena into two groups: social and ranked. This makes things better, especially for newer players. Both have different types of game modes. So go take a look.

I must say though that even with all these added features and improvements they forgot to make the one thing that is truly needed.  A feature that allows us to sell multiple req cards at once instead of one by one which gets annoying as it is long. Please can this get changed.

Overall we are happy with this big update and want to see more in time. Keep up the good work 343 Industries, you are doing a great job. For more information check out the link below:
