MAG: Double XP weekend and DLC ahead

Starting April 29th, MAG players get double XP again for the whole weekend. Sometime during this period, they will also publish the Fast Attack Gear DLC.

Guess what I will be playing next weekend! Still need 14 levels until 60...

Changes to the PS3Heroes-API!

In advance of a more capable API for PS3Heroes.com, please note that from May 15th on, requests to the API will only be allowed on the new API subdomain api.ps3heroes.com!

All other requests to the API will be declined from that moment on. So please make this little change to your scripts as soon as possible.

Forums are here!

They finally arrived and also replace comments on games and clans. So, here is the main link to the forums. There are a couple of them for major topics. Let's see which topics get so hot, that a forum of their own would be good.

You will also notice, that there is a Forum-Tab on each game now. The old comments of each game are already in seperate topic, but feel free to create new topics when you want to talk about another thing in that game.

Clans now also have a real forum, that means with various topics and not only one, as it was before. Clan forums are only accessible by clan members.

So, if you have any questions regarding the forums, I would like to invite you to the PS3Heroes.com-Feedback Forum.

And once again a big thank you to Alex Kaiser who did a great job on designing the forum!

PS3 System Software 3.30

A large step for the version number, but only a small for mankind the players.

It seems Sony only offers some new ways to sort your trophies. Do you want to know what you first trophy was? Just got to your profile page here on PS3Heroes (Example: richard4481)!

Ah, yes, they also will support their Bravia 3D TVs. I guess that's why the fancy version number with all the 3's in it. Impressive...

MAG Patch V1.05 on monday

Now it's official. Monday, April 19th we will see Update V1.05 for MAG. This are the updates we are about to see:

• Adjusted automatic Leadership selection criteria to include Leadership point total in preference formula.

Technical

• Repaired bug that prevented players who were incapacitated and then revived from throwing grenades until they reload.
• Fixed issue with the game lock-ups caused by “hanging” black screen following the conclusion of a gameplay round.
• Repaired crash that sometimes occurred after playing more than 15 consecutive rounds.
• Resolved issue with rare game crash that occurred during playback of intro video.
• Numerous localization changes for in-game text.

Weapons

• Adjusted iron sights to give player clearer view for the following weapons: AK-103, M4A1, PKP MG, Apex 100, RTK-74, Boudini 12 Gauge, and T-195.
• Improved accuracy on all iron sights and red dot sights.
