Diablo 3 brings you two new sets with Season 21 – This is what they can do

Patrick Freese 18. May 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

In the new patch 2.6.9 for Diablo 3, new sets for Demon Hunters and Necromancers are coming. In the patch notes, Blizzard shows what these armors can do. This is the preparation for Season 21.

What’s new? Blizzard released the patch notes for update 2.6.9. This game version aims to prepare Diablo 3 for Season 21.

A few months ago, Blizzard mentioned that each class in D3 would receive a new set. Demon Hunters and Necromancers were at the end of this list, after all other classes already had their new sets.

In the patch notes, the team now shows how the new sets for DH and Necro will play and which abilities will benefit from them.

Keep in mind that the percentages and bonuses are not set in stone. During the time on the PTR, the team will work on and adjust these aspects.

The PTR for Season 21 starts on Thursday, May 21. What we know about the end of Season 20 and the start of S21 can be found here.

“Gear of Terror” for Demon Hunters

What can the set do?

2-piece bonus: Grants a stack of Momentum when you attack with a primary skill. Each stack of Momentum lasts for 2 seconds, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. Your primary skills deal 10% more damage per stack.
4-piece bonus: When using Suppression Fire against enemies, your last cast primary skill is automatically fired. Additionally, you gain 60% damage reduction during and for 5 seconds after Suppression Fire. While Suppression Fire is active, your movement speed increases per stack of Momentum.
6-piece bonus: Your primary skills deal 10,000% more damage.

Additional adjustments: To better integrate this set and the Demon Hunter in general with Season 21, the Blizzard team has made further changes to items.

Leonine Bow of Hashir: Bolas have a chance of ~~30 %~~ 100 % to pull all enemies within 24 meters upon explosion and deal 100–150 % increased damage.
Emimei’s Deep Pouch: Bolas now explode without delay and deal 150–175 % increased damage.
The Ninth Cirri Satchel: Hungry Arrow ~~has a chance of 20–25 %~~ guaranteed to pierce targets and deals 450–600 % increased damage.
Odyssey’s End: Enemies hit and slowed by Entrapping Shot take ~~20–25 %~~ 100–150 % more damage from all sources.
Hunter’s Wrath: Increases your primary skill attack speed by 30 % and their damage by ~~45–60 %~~ 150–200 %.
Holy Point Shot: Impale now throws 2 additional knives and deals 75–100 % increased damage.

Why is the set important? Demon Hunters have been waiting a long time for a new set. In the current ranking list, they are lagging in last place. And there were no exciting new builds for them in the Season 20 tier list for Diablo 3.

With a new set, Blizzard shows DH players that they have not been forgotten. And that is important. In the coming days on the PTR, it will become clear how good the new set really is.

“Masquerade of the Burning Carnival” for Necromancers

What can the set do?

2-piece bonus: Your Simulacra take no damage, receive all runes, and the cooldown is completed upon your death.
4-piece bonus: While you have a Simulacrum active, you take 50% reduced damage. Damage taken is also split between you and your Simulacra.
6-piece bonus: Bone Spear deals 10,000% increased damage. Simulacra receive triple the bonus.

Additional adjustments: Just like the Demon Hunter, the Necromancer also receives further adjustments to their items and even other set pieces.

Grasps of Essence: When an Exploding Corpse deals damage to at least one enemy, the damage of your Corpse Explosion is increased by ~~75–100 %~~ 150–200 % for 6 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
Haunted Visions: Simulacrum now drains ~~5 %~~ 1 % of your maximum life every second and ~~lasts twice as long~~ remains permanently active. Simulacra can now duplicate Death Scythe instead of Skeleton Mages.
Razeth’s Will: Skeleton Mages receive the effect of the runes Gift of Death and Singularity. You gain 35–50 % damage reduction when your essence pool is not completely full.
Jesseth’s Weapons: Set bonus (2 pieces): As long as your skeletons are commanded to attack a target, your damage is increased by 400 %.
Inarius’s Grace: Set bonus (4 pieces): Bone Armor grants damage reduction of ~~2 %~~ 3 % for each enemy hit.
Pestilence Mask: Set bonus (6 pieces): For each corpse used by you, you gain a charge of Empowered Bone Spear, increasing the damage of additional Bone Spear attacks by 3,300 %. Additionally, the damage of Corpse Lance and Corpse Explosion is increased by ~~1,650 %~~ 3,300 % .

In addition, Blizzard worked on the skills of the Necromancers.

Last Service
- No longer consumes servants.
Bone Prison
- Simulacra now benefit from this passive skill.
Tooth Weapons
- Simulacra now benefit from this passive skill.
Corpse Explosion
- Damage has been increased from 350 % to 1,050 %.

Thus, the introduction of new sets for Diablo 3 seems to be complete for now. Blizzard wanted to provide each of the classes in the game with a new set. Demon Hunters and Necromancers are the last ones to receive these new sets until Season 21.

In Season 19, Monk and Crusader received these new sets
In Season 20, new sets for Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor followed

What else changes with Season 21? Patch Notes for 2.6.9 in Diablo 3

This is the new buff: With each season, Diablo 3 now brings a specific buff that players can benefit from. In Season 20, the seasonal theme looks like this:

Every 2 minutes, your character will channel a power that radiates into the environment for a limited time. The following powers await you:

Meteors raining down around you
Lightning emanating from your character
A wall of flames consuming everything
Whirlwinds of pure energy
Snowballs that knock down enemies

The reward: If you completely complete the Season Journey of 21 in Diablo 3, you will receive a portrait frame and a companion. In Season 20, there is this cool bat as a companion.

Additional adjustments:

Crusaders can now stack the effect of Shield of Wrath up to 10 times, previously it was up to 20.
Stone of Jordan: A new additional property ensures that all elemental damage bonuses for skills now match your highest elemental skill bonus.
Wraps of the Soul Reaper: An internal cooldown of 2 seconds has been added to the healing sphere effect.
Mantle of Channeling: Now works in conjunction with Blood Siphon from Necromancers.
Convention of Elements: The wording “not static” was added to the description of the legendary property. The functionality remains unchanged.

How do you like the two new sets for Demon Hunters and Necromancers? Maybe these classes will become powerful again and mix it up at the top of the ranking. A crazy speedrun shows how powerful the Witch Doctor has become now through its new set in Diablo 3.

MMORPG Black Desert Online is booming – player numbers soared in 2020

Andreas Bertits 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Black Desert Online (BDO) is currently experiencing a boom. The developer studio Pearl Abyss has reported significantly increasing player numbers.

What did the developers mean? The studio Pearl Abyss explained that Black Desert Online is currently running very successfully. Player numbers are on the rise. And this is happening in almost every country where the game is available.

In Japan, for example, the number of new users increased by 211% in April of this year. In Turkey, it rose by 469% compared to April of last year. In Korea, the number of new and returning users compared to May of last year has increased by 10 to 15 times, which is mainly due to the new seasonal servers.

An MMORPG with a good plan

How does it look in this country? Precise statements cannot be made since there are no player numbers for the Xbox One and PS4 versions. Only the user numbers on Steam can be referenced. According to Steamcharts, it can be seen that player numbers rose by 60 percent in March. However, in April, they dropped again by about 3.6 percent. Nevertheless, an upward trend has been noticeable since January.

Roadmap-BDO-2020 — The roadmap of the MMORPG BDO for the first half of 2020 looks good.

What is the reason for this? In January, Pearl Abyss announced the roadmap for new content for the MMORPG Black Desert Online, which is supposed to be released in the first half of 2020. This includes:

the new region Odyllita with many areas
a new PvPvE battlefield
the equipment of the Black Star
the island region Papua Crinea
the new class Gardia

There was some criticism because some players wished for more PvP content – especially for smaller groups. There are also discussions about the current implementation of the existing roadmap. The contents from the second quarter are, as of now (May 18), still not in the game, with the exception of “Playing and composing”.

Furthermore, the Korean roadmap of the game differs somewhat from ours. The PvEvP battlefield is missing from ours, and some content comes to the West later. This might also explain why the player numbers here are not increasing as strongly as in other areas.

However, Black Desert Online is fundamentally being developed in a good direction and regularly receives new content. That seems to please the players.

https://youtu.be/F0ejC_H4e0Q

This is what the new region Odyllita in BDO looks like.

Additionally, the Corona crisis plays a role. Because player numbers increased significantly during that time. More players have time and then look at what is probably the most beautiful MMORPG currently available.

In March, there was also a promotion where you could get the beginner’s package of the PC version of the MMORPG for free. Surely some took advantage of this.

What is next? At the end of May, Pearl Abyss wants to announce the roadmap for the second half of 2020. Then we will know which content Black Desert Online will receive by the end of the year.

Do you want to start playing the MMORPG Black Desert Online now? Then you can prepare well with the MeinMMO article 9 things you can do in the MMORPG Black Desert 2020.

FIFA 20: How to get Witsel’s “absurdly cheap” card before it disappears

Max Handwerk 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

As part of the Bundesliga TOTSSF, Axel Witsel has received a strong Flashback card in FIFA 20. The SBC is fairly cheap – but only runs for a short time.

This is what Witsel’s Flashback card looks like: With an overall rating of 93, the new Witsel card is among the absolute top midfielder cards in the Bundesliga, which does not have to hide from the TOTSSF. He has overall strong values, with particularly high numbers in the defensive and physical areas.

The Witsel card promises a responsive destroyer who will definitely hold your midfield defensively together.

Is Witsel’s card expensive? Compared to other SBCs, Witsel’s card is surprisingly cheap. You only need to exchange an 84 and an 85 team, both without too difficult side tasks.

On reddit, the reactions from the community are surprisingly: “That’s absurdly cheap” or “incredibly cheap for such a monster card” – some players even suspect that the SBC accidentally turned out to be so cheap. However, this is unlikely, as it has not been deactivated or adjusted.

One thing is for sure: The Witsel card can be an affordable, but good reinforcement for your team. Especially with red picks from the currently rewarding Weekend League, you can quickly gather the values. But: The SBC only runs for a short time, until May 19. Therefore, you will find two possible solutions for the partial SBCs here.

This is how you get Witsel’s Flashback card

Solution for BVB SBC: The first SBC requires an 84 team with a 65 chemistry rating and at least one Dortmund player. Chemistry is quickly achieved if you pay attention to your links and use players that fit together.

It should not cost you more than 45,000 coins, but will be significantly cheaper if you use players from your club. On futbin, there are numerous solutions that may fit with the players you already have. One well-functioning solution from the Futbin community looks like this:

Solution for Red Devils SBC: SBC number two wants an 85 team from you, but only a chemistry of 60. Here too, chemistry can be quickly achieved and you can use a highly rated goalkeeper somewhere in the field to reach the overall values. You need at least one Belgian player, of which there are also plenty.

The SBC costs about 85,000 coins if you buy all players new. Here too, however, you can very well rely on fodder from your club. A possible Futbin solution looks like this:

A possible Red Devils solution (via Futbin)

Are you looking for more strong cards for your team? Then it is currently worth searching the transfer market. Many top players have become cheaper thanks to the TOTSSF event. And there are also some legends available for little coins.

3 Incredible Kill Records in CoD: Warzone – How close can you get?

Sven Galitzki 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

For a long time, players have outdone each other with new kill records in Call of Duty: Warzone. By now, some incredible numbers have been reached. How do your top performances compare? Participate in our survey.

Players love records: In CoD: Warzone, the in-house battle royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there are regularly particularly cool kills, refined tactics, or fun moments to see. That’s what the community enjoys.

Records are also part of it. In recent weeks, for example, new best marks for kills in the various Warzone modes have emerged. Time and again, record holders have been celebrated by the community for their new achievements.

But where do we stand now? How many kills does one currently need to sit on the throne as a record holder in the different formats Solo, Trios, and Quads?

Note: The following best performances are not official world records. While it is likely, no one has contested these performances or published better ones so far. However, there is still a possibility that they may have already been surpassed by someone and just not come to light yet.

These are the kill records in Call of Duty: Warzone

Below you can see the current kill best performances for Warzone solo players as well as for 3-player (Trios) and four-man teams (Quads). The Duo mode for the battle royale of CoD: Modern Warfare is still awaited.

CoD Warzone – Kill record in Quads: The current record for Quads, which are 4-man squads, was set on May 15. Here, the best mark is an incredible 121 kills – and this is for a total of 150 players in a match.

In other words, the record holders tore through just about everything and everyone in this match, hunting them down as they came across their sights, even considering respawns through the Gulag.

This record was set by a team around former “Call of Duty” pro and world champion TeePee – together with players DougisRaw, Symfuhny, and HusKerrs.

CoD Warzone – Kill record in Trios: The record in the Trio format has been standing for a while now. It was set on April 30 with 93 kills and has remained since then.

The record was set by a team around the French YouTuber OtherGun, in collaboration with Swiko and Seoxi.

CoD Warzone – Kill record solo: As a lone wolf, the relatively unknown YouTuber Risible achieved a remarkable 39 kills on May 3, 2020 (in the regular solo mode – not as a solo player in Quads or Trios and also not in Solo Stimulus).

Many players consider this to be the hardest of the 3 records, as the achievement relies entirely on the skill of a single player.

You can watch the record match here:

MeinMMO Survey: How close do you get to these best performances?

Where do you stand with your records? We at MeinMMO have prepared a survey for you and want to know from you: Where is your best performance in comparison? How good are you in which mode?

You might have just barely missed out on one record or maybe even surpassed it without knowing, or you know someone who has.

Take part in our survey: The survey consists of a total of 3 pages – one for Solo, Trios, and Quads each. You have one vote per page. Have fun participating, and thank you for your time.

By the way, feel free to share and discuss your best performances with others in our comment section.

No Man’s Sky: How to tame and ride the animals in Beyond

Alexander Leitsch 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Since the big Beyond update, you can ride and even milk animals in the space game No Man’s Sky. However, you need to get along well with them. This little guide is all about the fauna of the game.

What’s new in No Man’s Sky? Since the big Beyond update, where the space game gained VR support among other things, you can not only recruit animals as companions, but also ride or milk them.

Although the release of the patch was somewhat chaotic, the new features regarding the fauna of the game are popular.

What are the requirements for riding and milking? Before you can start thinking about which animals to use for your adventures, you need to invest at least a few hours in No Man’s Sky.

In order to feed the animals the right food, you will need the Nutrient Processor. You can find the blueprint for it in the Anomaly, but it is not located in the classic technology tree.

You can find the blueprint near Polo and Nada in the Base Research Terminal. It costs 10 Salvaged Data.

The Nutrient Processor itself costs then in production:

2x Metal Plates
1x Hermetic Seal
25x Sodium

You will reach the Anomaly after the first warp jumps. However, the game leads you there relatively linearly and quickly.

More on the topic

No Man’s Sky: Players Build Cyberpunk City That Nobody Would Have Thought Possible

von Alexander Leitsch

Taming Animals Made Easy

How do I gain the animals’ trust? In the first step, you should scan the corresponding animal you want to milk or ride. The scan will tell you which food the respective animal prefers.

If the animal cannot be scanned, you can use a bait made of Carbon to start feeding it.

In the next step, you then need to craft the correct food to fully familiarize the animal with you.

What can the animals do? After the first feeding, the animals are favorably inclined towards you. They are likely to leave behind a pile after eating, which you can then collect as material.

As you get to know them, you can actively tame them. Afterwards, the animals will find valuable materials for you, defend you against attackers, or can be ridden and milked.

How long does the friendship last? Unfortunately, the tamed animals cannot be taken to other planets. So if you change location, you will have to find new companions again.

WoW: A player finds the largest bot farm in the entire game

Cortyn 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Druids are currently making a fortune in WoW – and it’s fully automated. A player has discovered a gigantic number of bots.

That there are bots in World of Warcraft is no big secret. Almost everyone has encountered a bot or two that is automatically performing some activity. However, a player on the WoW subreddit has supposedly discovered a huge “bot farm.” Several hundred druids are there farming a significant amount of gold. One of the easiest gold farming methods is actually disappearing today.

What is it about? The Reddit user AchmedTDT posted a small video. It shows him standing in front of the instance entrance to the Iron Docks, a dungeon from Warlords of Draenor. He wanted to catch up on some old achievements here when he was presented with a strange sight. Druids in large numbers are streaming out of the dungeon and immediately re-entering it.

The Largest Bot Farm in WoW’s History. from r/wow

Why are the Iron Docks so popular? The Iron Docks is a fairly simple instance with numerous humanoid enemies, especially at the beginning. They all drop a solid amount of loot that can easily be turned into gold through NPC vendors. With a sufficiently high number of characters, a massive amount of gold can be generated.

There are also bots and ban waves in WoW Classic – but they often hit the wrong ones.

The druids exit the dungeon to reset it and then immediately enter it again. This can be done up to 10 times per hour, allowing them to farm gold almost continuously. Since the first boss of the dungeon is available after a few meters and is accompanied by many trash mobs, it’s a quickly earned amount of several hundred gold pieces in just a few moments. Even more extreme are the gold farming bots in China.

Other dungeons from Warlords of Draenor are not so well suited for this. They either have a “confusing” design over multiple levels or not such large groups of trash mobs at the beginning, which reduces the effectiveness and therefore the “gold per hour” factor.

Check your realm to see how many druids are currently in the Iron Docks – simply use “/who Iron Docks” or “/wer Eisendocks”.

CoD MW & Warzone: World Champion complains – Controller aiming secretly nerfed?

Maik Schneider 18. May 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Last week, several reports emerged regarding altered aiming in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone. A former world champion joined the discussion and pointed out the significant adjustments, especially for the many controller players.

What exactly is this about? Comfortable controls are a crucial foundation for fast-paced shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Warzone, allowing many players to handle the games well.

The longer you play a specific control scheme or settings, the more the reactions and movements become ingrained in your muscle memory, allowing you to execute the corresponding moves even faster and more accurately. This applies to aiming, but also to quick movements.

Frequent changes could disrupt these trained routines for some players. However, it seems that Call of Duty does this regularly and now to such an extent that a former world champion has joined the discussion. Specifically, it concerns:

The horizontal aim assist
Input delay of the entire control system

Pro discovers hidden changes in aim assist – But there’s more

Which world champion is speaking? Christopher “Parasite” Duarte was able to win the world championship title in “Black Ops 2” with his team “Fariko Impact” in 2013. The 25-year-old is still actively competing in tournaments and is part of the CoD esports scene, but does not participate in the official “Call of Duty League”.

What changes have occurred in the aim assist? On Twitter, the prominent player showcased significant changes in the aim assist and proved it with a rather conclusive video:

The horizontal aim assist seems to have been nearly completely removed from the game. Normally, controller players experience what is called “aim slowdown” when they sweep across a certain part of an enemy’s hitbox with their crosshair, temporarily reducing the aim sensitivity so they can stay better on the hitbox.

However, the effect appears to have remained normal for vertical movements from top to bottom and vice versa. Here’s everything about aim assist in CoD MW:

More on the topic

How to optimally use aim assist in CoD Modern Warfare

von Maik Schneider

How does this affect the game? The problem with such changes are the effects on the players’ muscle memory. Many thousands of controller players have become accustomed to the peculiarities of the aim assist over a long period, and some may suddenly feel insecure about aiming for no apparent reason.

Overall, the aiming accuracy of controller players is likely to decrease, and mouse & keyboard will become even stronger compared to controllers. The two input devices come with different advantages and disadvantages and the controller thus loses one of its strongest advantages against the more precise mouse control.

Suddenly, it’s also about input delay

What else has come up? “Parasite” posted two tweets yesterday (May 17) about altered aiming in Call of Duty:

While he had no issues at a tournament, he felt a change in sensitivity after resetting his console. His sensitivity settings for the controller sticks were at 6-6, but it felt to him more sensitive, more like the settings were at 8-8. He changed the settings of his deadzone and felt better with that, but he would like to know if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue.

What could have changed here? Subsequently, a player came forward who may have an explanation. “@FletcherDK2” referred to a reddit thread that appeared a few days ago (May 11), in which an engaged player highlighted changes regarding input delay (via reddit).

He tested the changes after every major update and found that nearly every patch since the introduction of Season 1 involved an adjustment of the delay. According to his records, the delay has risen from 45 to 50 ms to 200 – 300 ms since release. According to the thread creator “SpiritualBiskit”, the value increased step by step.

How does this affect the game? Aiming feels different, which can also lead to uncertainties among players. If you notice a certain change or uncertainty after a patch, it could be due to these delay adjustments.

Since the time-to-kill (TTK) in CoD 2019 is quite low and players go down in a fraction of a second, a 300 ms input lag represents a significant disruption to gameplay. Together with reaction time and the calculated TTK, the input delay constitutes a substantial part of the actual TTK.

Furthermore, “SpiritualBiskit” claims that these delays only affect controller players, which would be another marked disadvantage compared to players with mouse & keyboard.

Will this stay like this? So far, there has been no official statement from the developers regarding the findings, neither about aim assist nor about input delay.

Due to crossplay, many players using different input devices come together in Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone, and such significant changes should at least be communicated by the developers. Have you noticed anything or felt that something changes regularly?

If you want to improve your aim, check out the Warzone training of a CoD expert. Even with high input lag, you can secure hits with enough practice.

This graphic mod makes GTA 5 look like a completely new game after 6 years

Eilyn Rapp 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A developer team has created a graphics mod that makes GTA 5 shine years after its release, as if it were a game that has just been released. The mod’s trailer is truly astounding.

What’s new? While GTA 5 may seem outdated after more than 6 years, diligent developers from the community continue to work on mods that refresh the game’s visuals.

On PC, there are many modifications to customize the graphics. This focuses on a special mod by Razed called “NaturalVision Evolved.” The mod is still in Early Access but already looks stunning.

The trailer shows how the graphics mod changes GTA:

According to the developers of this mod, some weather effects could not be accurately shown in the trailer. Therefore, the mod is said to look even better in the game than it does in the trailer.

In the trailer, the developers show how the mod affects:

Light conditions
Reflections on the road and buildings
Street textures
Weather conditions

Is the mod available yet? As the graphics mod is still in development, it is currently only available in Early Access. Therefore, anyone who wants to test the mod must obtain a Gold membership from razedmods on patreon.com, which costs 10 dollars per month. According to the developer, it will be available for everyone on gta5-mods.com after completion.

Could GTA 6 look like this?

Players are eagerly awaiting the next game in the GTA series and although there are already some theories about when GTA 6 is finally supposed to be released, there is still no solid evidence of how it will all look.

This graphics mod allows players to immerse themselves in a world that looks as if it were the new trailer for GTA 6. Thus, some players comment under the trailer video:

“I can’t wait for people to take this trailer and pass it off as GTA 6 gameplay.”
“Rockstar never makes GTA 6. This guy: Okay, I will create it myself.”
“Rockstar must be sweating right now and thinking: Now we really have to deliver when we release GTA 6.”

Another player has created a map as a concept of what it might look like in GTA 6. The community was thrilled with his design and this is exactly how they wish the upcoming map for GTA 6 to look.

Hundreds of thousands of new players: This is why DayZ has suddenly become so successful

Andreas Bertits 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The zombie survival game DayZ is currently extremely successful. And this is despite the fact that the development studio was recently closed. How is that?

Why is DayZ so successful? The studio Bohemia Interactive explains that “there has been a large influx of new players.” “Hundreds of thousands” have joined recently. This is because DayZ has been part of the Xbox Game Pass since May 7.

Bohemia Interactive’s Publishing Director, Vojtěch Ješátko, explains the situation:

The Xbox Game Pass is a great opportunity for us to make the game accessible to a different audience and let a large number of new players experience DayZ in all its roughness and beauty alongside the veterans.

DayZ is a massive success. In the video, you can see the latest version.

A great success

What does it mean to be part of the Xbox Game Pass? Those who subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass gain access to over 100 games on the Xbox One.

The regular pass costs 9.99 euros per month, while the Ultimate Pass including Xbox Live Gold membership costs only 1 euro in the first month, then 12.99.

New games are regularly added to the library, including DayZ on May 7. Players who get the Xbox Pass Ultimate can play DayZ and hundreds of other titles for only one euro in the first month.

What is the current status of DayZ? The zombie survival game has been in development for what feels like an eternity. Nevertheless, it is already a lot of fun in its current version.

The alpha version of DayZ started in December 2013. In December 2018, version 1.0 finally went live and the game was ported to a new graphics engine. Since spring 2019, DayZ is also no longer part of the Xbox Game Preview Program but has been officially released.

In May 2019, the version for PS4 was also released.

Only at the end of April did Bohemia Interactive announce via Twitter that the development studio in Bratislava, which had previously worked on DayZ, had been closed. They thanked the team and stated that despite the closure, the current roadmap for updates for DayZ will continue.

However, Bohemia Interactive does not seem to want to give up the game:

Asmongold feels discriminated as a white man – by Twitch advisory board member

Schuhmann 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

There is a heated discussion on Twitch about the new Twitch Safety Council. One member of the council has called for a more critical view on voice chat in online games. After a heated discussion, the prominent WoW streamer Asmongold feels discriminated against.

This is the Twitch Safety Council: On May 14, Twitch introduced its new “Safety Council.” The council consists of 7 members. According to Twitch, the members of the council have a “deep understanding of the unique challenges and perspectives of a creator.”

These 7 are now supposed to help shape the rules on Twitch.

Twitch Council member wants to limit voice chat

These statements are causing anger: One member of the new Twitch Council is Steaph “FerociuslySteph” Loehr. She originally comes from Heroes of the Storm but has also played a lot of Apex Legends over the last year. Steph is one of the first transgender streamers to become a Twitch partner.

The streamer has “only” 19,136 followers on the platform. However, since she became a Twitch council member, she has significantly gained relevance. Some of her clips now reach around 250,000 views. Her viewership numbers have increased tenfold.

She has initiated a discussion about voice chat in games. The reason is that it gives players an unfair advantage who use it. Those who do not use voice chat are at a disadvantage, believes the streamer. Therefore, there must be alternatives to voice chat.

Underlying this is the idea that members of minority groups in games (like women) often do not use voice chat because they have had bad experiences with being identified by their voice as a member of a minority and then being treated strangely. This happened to a LoL developer in Valorant, for example.

Twitch appoints streamer to safety council who behaves like a deer

Twitch council member speaks about “white cis men”

In another clip, FerociuslySteph states: People have said that voice chat is not a problem. And these were mainly people whose voices sounded like “white cis men.” They said she should just turn off voice chat. That it is not a problem.

Especially in the highly divided society of the USA, her statements carry significant weight. This is evident from the outraged response from Asmongold and the extremely high view counts on these clips.

Asmongold is back on Twitch after a long break. The streamer had considerable success with WoW Classic, but that also drove him away from the platform.

These are people whose voices are not “marginalized.”

A CIS man is a man who was born a man and identifies as a man.

In another Twitch clip, the streamer says (via Twitch):

“A lot of players are in reality supporters of white supremacy. I’m sorry. That’s just how I feel.”

I thought this was America!

Asmongold is now upset about this: The well-known WoW streamer Asmongold feels discriminated against by these statements as a white man.

He says if this statement had been made about any other group, about Black people or transgender individuals, the speaker would have been banned from Twitch. But in this case, when it concerns white men, Twitch even supports the statement.

He finds it wrong.

Asmongold does not want negative things said about him based on his race. He says:

“I thought this was America and people are judged by what they do, not by how they look.”

Streamer sees herself as an advocate for minorities, sparks controversy

What it’s all about: The statements of FerociuslySteph are currently causing quite a stir in the Twitch community. Because she was appointed to the Twitch Council, her statements are now getting much more attention than before. Her voice is now regarded as one that is supported and endorsed by Twitch.

The streamer has stated that she aims to use her newfound relevance to promote herself and her topics.

Especially in the highly divided society of the USA, her statements carry significant weight. This is evident from the outraged response from Asmongold and the extremely high view counts on these clips.

Asmongold is back on Twitch after a long break. The streamer had considerable success with WoW Classic, but that also drove him away from the platform.

Smoky Day in Pokémon GO broken? Trainers complain about the event

Patrick Freese 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The smoke day with Carvahna did not go well for some trainers in Pokémon GO.

What happened? On Sunday, May 17, 2020, the smoke day with Carvahna took place in Pokémon GO. By using the smoke item, more Carvahna were supposed to be attracted during the event period. Niantic promoted the event by stating that with luck, trainers could encounter shiny versions of this species. Usually, the developers activate an increased chance for shinies for these events so that all trainers can find them.

However, finding the shinies did not go according to plan in some places. Frustrated trainers report their experiences.

Trainers say: That was a waste of time

What was the problem? Due to the time difference, players from New Zealand or Australia get to participate in events before other trainers, as they start before the German event time. Therefore, they are often “guinea pigs” – what didn’t work for them must be improved for the events in other regions that start a few hours later.

It was similar during the smoke day on Sunday. A glitch probably caused initially very few shiny Carvahna to appear. The shiny chances were initially not increased as expected.

Trainer Ausja, on reddit reports: “The shiny rate of Carvahna seems to have been fixed. After a brief network outage, more shiny reports are coming in.”

However, it took several hours for this fix to happen. The event lasted a total of 6 hours. Due to the presumably “broken” shiny rate, trainers were at a disadvantage. Ausjam writes on reddit:

“Those playing from New Zealand played for 5 hours and 20 minutes of the 6 hours without enhanced shiny rate”
“Those from Australia etc. played for 3 hours and 20 minutes of the 6 hours without enhanced shiny rate”

This is what the players say

This is the mood: On social networks, trainers express their frustration about the event. On reddit, they write:

“What a waste of time. It took 5 hours and 57 minutes for one shiny. […]”
“Kiwi here. I played all day and only got one shiny Carvahna (2 minutes before the end of the event). I’m glad I got one, but it’s still annoying that it was only fixed now.”
“I got nothing and had smoke on for 6 hours”
“Kiwi players, complain to in-game support. If we put enough pressure on them, they might give us an hour of compensation or something.”

On Twitter, players are also asking for compensation and reporting low shiny catches in the affected regions:

How did the smoke day with Carvahna go for you? Were you able to catch some of the sought-after shinies, or did you also have bad luck?

In the current Hoenn event, you now receive a Pokémon that has been missing for a long time. While it’s not a shiny Carvahna, it will also enhance your collection.

Valorant: Ex-Pro misses tournament, flips out, receives lifetime ban

Jürgen Horn 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Valorant a professional eSports scene is currently establishing itself. It has already seen its first major dramas. Recently, there was significant trouble surrounding former Overwatch pro Dafran.

Who is Dafran? Daniel “Dafran” Francesca (26 years old) is a former Danish Overwatch pro. He is now active as a streamer and plays Valorant. He is an excellent player and has over 500,000 followers on Twitch. Due to his skills, he is also referred to as the “Aim God”.

https://youtu.be/76g_7MsKwWk

Here you can see some crazy plays by Dafran from Overwatch.

However, he has often been noted for his explosive outbursts. He has already been disqualified from competitions for abandoning games and griefing. Therefore, the following scene is not entirely surprising.

Dafran messes up tournament start and flips out

What happened in the tournament? Dafran and his team Prodigy participated in a tournament organized by the French organization Solary. There, a round in the semifinals was scheduled against the team HypHypHyp, led by Damien “HyP” Souville. Unfortunately, the appointment was moved up, and Prodigy seemingly did not notice it.

Therefore, only HyP’s team was present, and Prodigy arrived much later. This would normally have been a reason for disqualification for Prodigy, as anyone who does not show up within 15 minutes forfeits the match. (via tournament rules on toornament.com)

Nevertheless, HyP’s team wanted to give Prodigy a chance. However, since they had plans for the evening and could not play for too long, the first of three rounds was to be credited as a win to HyP’s team if Prodigy could still compete as a complete team.

The players from Prodigy were all finally present and wanted to play – except for Dafran. He was still happily streaming Overwatch at that time. However, he was eventually made aware on Twitter by a teammate of HyP that the tournament would now start. It was irresponsible and selfish of him not to show up.

So the drama continued: When Dafran learned that the tournament had been rescheduled without his knowledge and that his team was now down 1:0, he became angry and allegedly lashed out on Twitter in now non-existent tweets about HyP, his team, and the tournament organizers of Solary, cursing them harshly.

These were the consequences: As a result of this outburst, it is said that the remaining Prodigy team members agreed on a new substitute date. Without a points advantage, but Prodigy was to compete without Dafran and name a replacement player.

On the other hand, Dafran was banned for life from all Solary tournaments by the tournament organizers due to his ongoing insults. Interestingly, Prodigy even won 2:1 with their substitute player.

Here’s how Dafran reacted: The banned streamer did not become more peaceful as a result of this action. Among other things, he called his opponents on Twitter stupid “bitches” and “washed-up Overwatch players” who were too cowardly to compete against him. He also referred to the tournament as a bunch of “dog shit” and demanded that the tournament organizers “suck his balls”.

His fans, presumably at Dafran’s urging, subsequently attacked HyP and the Solary organization via social media and game chat. HyP then wrote a lengthy text on TwitLonger, stating that such harassment and coercion have no place in eSports and that he strongly disapproves of Dafran’s behavior.

This is the current situation: By now, Dafran has realized that he probably went too far by inciting his followers to such behavior. In one match, a random teammate of Dafran was attacked by his fans after it became known that he played for Solary. That was too much for Dafran and he asked his fans to leave him alone. He then remarked, “Solary is shit, you are not”.

Currently, there are quite a few bans going on with Riot’s team shooter Valorant. For instance, the popular streamer Forsen was banned from the game for two weeks, but no one knows exactly why.

Is Destiny 2 really not losing a planet? Bungie removes exciting clues

Philipp Hansen 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 may soon say goodbye to a complete location. Players have found new clues in-game that support this theory – but suddenly there seems to be no trace of it.

Warning – possible spoilers, read at your own risk!

This is what the theory is about: MeinMMO already reported that the destruction of not just 2 locations could be imminent. The theory that Titan could even be completely destroyed was actually deemed quite unlikely.

But players have now found clues in the game itself that threaten to confirm the scenario.

This has now been found: Each location has an NPC who is the point of contact for the area and offers quests as well as planet-specific gear. On Titan, Sloane takes on this role. However, warnings have now appeared in her inventory, marking her items as only available for “Limited Time”:

Titan gone destroyed Sloan NPC emblem Destiny 2 — “Limited Time” what happens to the emblem when the time runs out?

This warning uses Destiny 2 to make it clear to the Guardian that an item will soon disappear from the game. It is usually used for seasonal or event-related items. Fuel for the “Titan will be destroyed” theorists.

What does it mean? A look into Sloane’s inventory shows 2 of the warnings:

The planetary emblem “New-Pacifica-Archeology” is not only limited in availability
The legendary weapon “Fast Ride” is only available for a limited time

That the weapon is stamped with a time limit is not unusual. Other NPCs from different locations always have this note with their weapons – because the directly purchasable guns rotate seasonally.

However, it gets interesting with the emblem: None of the other comparable emblems from other locations bear the label “Limited Time”. You can easily check this yourself. For example, visit Ana on Mars or Devrim in the EDZ. In any case, the weapon is limited in time, but the planetary emblem is without notes in their inventory.

This could have 3 reasons according to the theorists:

Titan is being destroyed, therefore the specific emblem can no longer be earned
Titan is getting a major overhaul and will be the setting of an expansion – along with a new emblem
It is simply a bug or display error

Update – 11:30 AM: More and more players are now reporting that the timestamp of the emblem suddenly is no longer visible. They also write on MeinMMO that they could recently still read the mysterious inscription. But now there is no trace of it anymore.

I myself was able to still read the warning and took the embedded image above.

The Darkness could devour whole planets

This is how destruction could occur: That the Darkness (in the form of the threatening pyramid ships) is getting closer is no longer a secret. Week after week, their fleet is growing in our solar system.

Soon our enemy will have reached Saturn with its moon Titan. Bungie has already announced some time ago that Destiny 2 cannot continuously grow. If anything can erase an entire location, it is the enemy we have been waiting for nearly 6 years.

With the destruction, Bungie would accomplish two things at once: The Darkness would be impressively presented as the greatest threat in the game. The eradication of a location would significantly declutter the game and make room for new experiences.

Many Guardians agree: If an entire location is indeed going to be wiped out, Titan would be the most obvious choice. The area is relatively small and does not offer as many relevant contents as other locations.

What do you think? Is the destruction of an entire location suddenly becoming more likely, or are these just fantasies? Did Bungie remove the hint because it was a bug or to maintain suspense?

That’s why many warn against buying a new zombie survival game

Andreas Bertits 18. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Sergey Titov is back. He previously made waves with games like The War Z and Wild West Online. Now he has released a new zombie survival game, Outbreak: New Dawn, which some are already warning about.

What kind of game is this? Outbreak: The New Dawn places you in a world five years after the zombie apocalypse. The last surviving humans have retreated to fortified camps but must repeatedly search for resources and food.

You are one of these survivors. Together, you set out to explore the devastated world, gather loot, complete quests for NPCs, and clash with zombies. You improve your heroes through skills and new weapons.

This is still an early access version, for which you can buy access in the form of a founder’s package on the official website of Outbreak: New Dawn. These packages cost between 35 and 100 euros. A Steam release is expected to take place in 2021 when the survival game officially launches.

The video shows you how Outbreak: New Dawn plays out.

Who is Sergey Titov? Sergey Titov is behind the online survival game The War Z, which was released in alpha version on December 17, 2012, via Steam. Just two days later, the game was taken offline again. The accusation of misleading advertising was raised because The War Z did not actually have some of the advertised features. For example, there were no skills and no private servers, even though the game was advertised as such.

In June 2013, the game was relaunched under the name Infestation: Survivor Stories due to copyright issues stemming from the previous title. The title was too close to that of the blockbuster film World War Z.

In 2015, the same developer released the game Romero’s Aftermath, also a zombie survival game, which has strong similarities to Infestation.

Both Infestation and Romero’s Aftermath are no longer being developed. The online action game Wild West Online has also been attributed to Sergey Titov. This game no longer exists in its previous form. Instead, it returned as two games:

The PvP survival game New Frontier
The battle royale game Magnificent 5

Just in March, a new game called Infestation: Battle Royale was released, which mixes zombie survival with battle royale and is based on the games of Sergey Titov. All titles are in an unfinished state, if they still exist at all.

Infestation: Survivor Stories looks quite a lot like Outbreak: New Dawn.

Players warn against buying

Why are there warnings about Outbreak: The New Dawn? Essentially, this is again a rehash of The War Z, or rather Infestation: Survivor Stories. It uses the same engine and apparently the same assets as well as a very similar gameplay. It is still in an early development phase and is unfinished. Nevertheless, access is supposed to cost between 35 and 100 euros already.

This is what players say about the new title:

Avaral35 says on reddit: “Don’t buy it! Titov is a crafty fraud!”
ElvenNeko explains: “If he’s still doing this, it means people are buying it and it is profitable. And that’s kind of sad.”
rockymc writes: “He even reused the same models and screenshots from Infestation / WarZ. These buildings look just like Campus City buildings.”
MrBla says: “He is a genius. He knows how to fool people and get away with it. He is a deceiver, but people will fall for his lies and willingly give him money again.”

What does Sergey Titov think about all this? The producer of the games is quite diplomatic:

It has always been a love-hate relationship. A certain percentage of our players are big fans, and we do [Outbreak] primarily for them. But there has always been a group of people on the other end of the spectrum who hate what we do, and they simply do not get the gaming experience they expect from [our games], and we understand that.

WoW: Covenants in Shadowlands worry players – that’s the reason

Cortyn 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Covenants are an important topic in WoW: Shadowlands. But that’s exactly why many players criticize that switching becomes difficult – although it is not hard at the beginning.

One of the major features of World of Warcraft Shadowlands will be the four covenants. Players will get to know all four factions throughout the story, but at level 60 they have to choose a covenant. This brings not only cosmetic rewards but also special powers. This, however, is a thorn in the players’ side.

Why is there so much criticism? Covenants are much more than just a cosmetic decision. Each covenant comes with 2 special abilities – one of which is the same for all players of the covenant, while the second is class-specific. Additionally, there are other passive (and sometimes active) bonuses such as soulbinds that grant additional strengths.

Because character strength is so directly tied to the covenant, many players worry that there will essentially be a “mandatory covenant” for each class that provides the mathematically best option. Therefore, some players wish that they could switch freely between covenants, just as they can with talents.

We at MeinMMO also have criticism – for example regarding the “old, new” abilities.

This is Blizzard’s plan: In an interview on Twitch, Morgan Day from Blizzard explained that switching a covenant is not that complicated – at least at the beginning. If you choose, for example, the Night Fae, you can relatively easily switch to the Kyrians and thus join another covenant. This way you can rectify an initial mistake and reconsider your choice.

The problem only arises when you want to switch back to the Night Fae. Once someone leaves a covenant and thus breaks their oath, they will only regain access to that covenant with considerable effort. How much effort this entails is still unclear.

Blizzard does not see the problem that one covenant could outshine all others. The covenants are more than just their two abilities but also have additional bonuses through soulbinds and other systems (like conduits). These should be so diverse and mixed that there are only rare cases where there is a “best option.” If during the alpha it turns out that a covenant is regarded as “the best” for a class, the abilities and bonuses will be adjusted.

What do you think of this system? Is it good that players have to commit to something again? Or is it trash and has no place in an MMORPG?

Destiny 2: The most annoying step of “The Lie” cracked – Now a bug stops you

Sven Galitzki 18. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Finally, the Guardians have cracked the longest and most annoying step of the new quest “The Lie” in Destiny 2. Many were already looking forward to quickly acquiring the shotgun Felwinter’s Lie. However, a bug is currently hindering players.

What is happening in Destiny 2 right now? Recently, a new quest went live unexpectedly in Destiny 2 – The Lie. This quest apparently leads the Guardians in several steps to the new legendary shotgun Felwinter’s Lie.

However, the first step turned out to be frustrating for many players. It required the community to achieve 9 million completions of the Seraph Tower event. Many simply did not want to do that, Bungie has since made this step 10x easier. And now, just a few hours ago, it was finally cleared.

Some stayed up until the early morning hours farming 1,000 shotgun kills. But instead of finally holding the new weapon in their hands, many players are once again left empty-handed. A bug currently prevents progress in the quest at the last step.

What is the issue with the bug? During the quest, players need to achieve 1,000 shotgun kills. Once that is done, a new mission symbol on the Moon is unlocked – the arguably last step. And this step seems to be bugged.

When starting this mission, players do not begin the quest but spawn with Eris. It seems that currently all players are affected by this bug. So far, there are no known cases of anyone successfully starting the right mission.

What does Bungie say? Bungie is aware of the bug and has already spoken on Twitter. Community Manager dmg04 stated that it would indeed be a bug if you interact with the “The Lie” marker on the Moon and then appear with Eris.

The problem will be addressed early in the morning (US time), and players will be kept updated. Bungie has not yet clarified when exactly a fix will be available. They also ask players to report if anyone is able to progress through this step without issues.

What are the players saying? The mood is currently a bit down. The quest started off poorly in the eyes of many players and already caused frustration and annoyance with the exaggerated first step. That players are once again being held back just before the climax, namely the reward, this time by a bug, does not necessarily improve the general mood.

Even though things are a bit off right now, the ongoing Season 10 could still bring one or two positive surprises: Why Season 10 could still become exciting towards the end

Unreal Engine 5: What is your opinion on the PS5 demo?

Irina Moritz 17. May 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games and Sony have released a video showcasing the capabilities of the new Unreal Engine 5 on the PS5. What did you think of the video?

What happened? Yesterday, on May 13, a new YouTube video from Epic made the rounds in the gaming world. Two employees from Epic introduced the new Unreal Engine 5 in it. The video was meant to give a first impression of what games on the next generation of consoles could look like.

The tech demo was played on the PlayStation 5 and is said to show actual gameplay in real time according to the developers. It is indeed a proper playable demo that runs on the PS5.

The technology of UE5 is based on two features:

Nanite: It is the ability to use huge amounts of polygons for rendering the environment. This makes the representation of assets in games much more detailed.
Lumen: This technology is meant to improve lighting in games. For example, it should enable better and more believable representations of dynamic scenes.

Things like pop-ins, which are suddenly appearing objects in the game, should be avoided in the future and provide a smoother gaming experience.

The Unreal Engine 5 will not only run on the PS5. Developers will also be able to create their games on PC and the Xbox Series X with the new technology. The release of the engine has initially been announced for “early 2021.”

CoD MW & Warzone: These 7 essays have hidden properties

Benedict Grothaus 17. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Your weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone become really powerful only when you equip them with the right attachments. However, the attachments do not always do what is stated. 7 attachments have secret properties that are not listed on the data sheet.

What are these secret changes? These are effects that certain attachments have and that the game does not inform you about.

Actually, every attachment in Gunsmith comes with a small data sheet. From this data sheet, you can read the pros and cons and thus quickly see how the attachment affects your weapon’s values.

That this is not always the case is already shown by the explanation, what the Full Metal Jacket perk really does. Although it increases your damage according to the display – in reality, it just costs an attachment slot.

Secret properties of 7 attachments of the MP5 and M4A1

What effects do the changes have? YouTuber and CoD expert TheXclusiveAce has looked at some attachments in a video and shown that they change more than is actually displayed. Primarily, it concerns attachments for the barrel.

These barrel attachments often change bullet velocity or other values. This directly affects the damage of the weapon. More precisely: It changes the damage range, meaning the distance at which the weapon’s damage falls off.

He tested two weapons in detail: the MP5 and the M4A1. The MP5 is still the strongest weapon in its category, while the M4A1 has been dethroned by the RAM-7. Nevertheless, both weapons are still extremely popular and are often used.

Which attachments have secret properties? Basically, every barrel changes the muzzle velocity of your weapon. Ace comes to the following conclusions for each of the attachments in Call of Duty:

For the M4A1
- FSS 11.5″ Commando: ~15% reduced damage range
- M16 Grenadier: no change measured
- FSS 14.5″ Tac Light: ~10% reduced damage range
- Corvus Custom Marksman: no change measured
- FSS 12.4″ Predator: ~25% reduced damage range

von Benedict Grothaus

For the MP5
- FSS Light: ~15% reduced damage range
- Muzzle Brake (integrated, Monolithic): ~12.5% increased damage range
- FSS Mini: ~25% reduced damage range
- Muzzle Brake (integrated Subsonic): ~30% reduced damage range

von Benedict Grothaus

This means that certain builds like the secret MP5K are even worse at longer ranges than previously assumed. Anyone playing such setups should be well aware that they are only suitable for close combat.

Ace also found that the barrel affects hip fire spread. As a rule of thumb, the longer the barrel, the less accurate the hip fire is. Longer barrels also have the disadvantage that your aim stability (“idle sway”) increases, making aiming slightly more difficult. More information on all attachments for better aiming can be found here. You can see the effects in the embedded video by TheXclusiveAce here:

Other hidden changes

Further tests have shown that the “No Stock” attachment also reduces hip fire spread. Otherwise, Ace has not yet found any attachments that have a really significant influence on the game and the choice of a weapon, as barrels do.

However, many players have suspected that suppressors increase aiming accuracy. This is one of the “hidden changes” that is not true. Suppressors do not improve your aim. Read here, what suppressors really do and how to use them.

The next time you build your loadout for Warzone or Modern Warfare, keep in mind that especially the choice of your barrel influences how you should best play – can you play at a distance or do you need to get up close? How important the right setup is shown by this build for the M13, which practically turns it into a laser.

WoW meets Minecraft: Fan recreates the Arathi Basin battlefield

You can now experience the Arathi Basin in Minecraft. A fan has meticulously recreated the battlefield from WoW.

In Minecraft, players can let their creativity run wild. However, not every creation is entirely original. Often, environments and locations from other games are recreated as accurately as possible. This is also the case with the Arathi Basin. On Reddit, the user MooshPMC has built the popular battlefield from World of Warcraft.

What is it? The Arathi Basin is one of the most popular battlegrounds in World of Warcraft, as it has one of the longest histories in the game. The fundamentally rather simple design of the battleground (despite a visual update) makes it a perfect candidate for recreation in Minecraft.

MooshPMC has uploaded several screenshots of his project. Most WoW players would recognize the map at first glance. Almost everyone knows the characteristic forge in the middle of the Arathi Basin, surrounded by water. But the other control points, such as the mine, stables, and sawmill, are also easily recognizable.

This is how players react: Generally, WoW fans are excited about the project and immediately recognized the Arathi Basin. However, most leave rather amused comments.

“Where are all the people fighting on the streets?”
“No one at the stables, seems very accurate.”
“Not very fitting, the whole Horde team is not at the forge at all.”

Apparently, many players associate the Arathi with some very special memories and clichés.

What do you think of the Arathi Basin recreation in Minecraft? Would you have recognized it immediately?

If Season 3 of Fortnite turns into a water game, I’m out

Eilyn Rapp 17. May 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

There are a few theories about how Season 3 in Fortnite will play out. So far, it looks like water will be a major theme of the next season. If Fortnite becomes a water-based game, MeinMMO author Eilyn Rapp is not excited at all.

What are the theories about the next theme in Fortnite? There are already a few clues and theories about how Season 3 will play out in Fortnite.

Posters were found on the map showing that there will be a lot of water.

Houses on floating rings, sharks, and Meowscles standing hip-deep in water, all clues pointing to a flooded map in Fortnite.

If we look at the theories about the end of Season 2, this suspicion is reinforced. It is expected that an apocalyptic device will be activated, and this could blow the entire map to pieces.

Fortnite underwater is too exhausting for me

So if the theories are confirmed and the entire map or parts of it are underwater, that would be too exhausting in my opinion. There are a few reasons for this.

Only swimming instead of running?

For getting around or to get to a location faster, I actually find the swimming feature quite good. But what if you have to swim instead of run to reach the next point?

If you are in the water and enemies are lurking at a safe place, you have a clear disadvantage. They can leisurely shoot while you desperately try to find cover.

And if you can swim underwater, will enemies sneak up on you without you noticing? Or do they even hide down there until the match is over?

This doesn’t sound very appealing to me so far, and I can hardly imagine how this is all going to play out.

Fights in the water – how is that going to work?

The other reason I am not convinced by this “underwater map” idea is the fights. Will these take place in the water while looking for a spot that might be on land?

Fights in the water are not that cool, as you can hardly see your opponents when you are swimming in the water yourself. It will be difficult to eliminate other players.

Moreover, it takes me several attempts to build a proper floor in the water. By the time I manage to do that, my opponent has surely already built a whole fortress.

So far, the entire concept of Season 3 does not really convince me, and it would be the first time I am not eagerly waiting for a new season in Fortnite. But so far, these are just theories, and we do not know how this will really play out.

My wishes for the next season remain the same as for the last season, except that there are a few minimal changes if the map really gets flooded. As I know myself, I will definitely check out the new season and hopefully be positively surprised, and not miss a season.
