Destiny 2: The curse of Telesto remains unbroken in Season 10 – Is deactivation imminent?

The Destiny 2 running gag about the glitchy weapon exotic Telesto just won’t stop, the bug monster is living up to its name as “The Besto” in Season 10. The latest glitch threatens the balance again, but players take it with humor. Because Telesto glitches have now achieved cult status.    

Telesto is the Besto: The exotic Telesto is the one weapon plagued by bugs, which has been breaking the game balance of Destiny for years and has even been completely disabled. This troublesome weapon belongs to the fusion rifles but fires, unlike its cousins, basically sticky bombs. After some time or upon contact with enemies, these explode.

And these unique sticky bombs just don’t fit well into the sandbox of Destiny 2. The crazy glitches and bugs that have become possible with the exotic have earned it the nickname “Telesto is the Besto”.

Telesto-Destiny
Telesto the Besto

In this article, we take a look at the current glitch but also at the cult status that the broken exotic now enjoys among the guardians.

This is the new glitch from Season 10: Now it’s time, a new glitch from “The Besto” has been found in the current Season 10. This allows malicious Warlocks to quickly achieve a very high buff using Telesto and the exotic helmet Lore of Truth and unleash deadly grenades immediately on their hopeless opponents in PvP.

We consciously do not provide instructions here, but just want to inform you about the glitch. Even though the story of Telesto sounds funny, the application, especially in PvP, is anything but humorous or a minor offense. Wherever other players take damage from such actions, we strictly request to refrain from using them.

Is the disabling of the exo imminent? The new glitch was made public on April 17. The guardians are wondering if Bungie will respond by disabling Telesto. At this time (April 18, 10 AM), we do not know if Bungie plans to disable Telesto again. The exotic is still equippable in the game. In contrast, two exotic armors had to be disabled repeatedly recently.

However, a disabling of Telesto does not seem entirely out of the question in light of this – especially due to PvP.

The sticky bombs keep causing problems

Telesto the Besto has cult status in Destiny 2

This is how the community makes fun of it: On reddit, threads immediately sprang up with the discovery of the new Telesto glitch, poking fun at the exotic and Bungie. Among other things, statements like “finally the glitch for this season has been found” or “every season needs its Telesto glitch” can be found.

In reference to the funny accident counter in the Tower, it was demanded:

Bungie should add a counter “Days that Telesto did not break the game” at the bottom of every TWaB

Trazinski via reddit

Bungie’s Community Manager Dylan “dmg04” Gafner also responded with the simple remark: “0” referring to the now reset accident counter.

This is the story of Telesto: Even in the days of Destiny 1, Telesto was considered a troublemaker. Even the most famous Destiny exotic ever, the Gjallarhorn, became a glitch accomplice.

In Destiny 2, Telesto was initially classified as a power weapon, but during the transitions from the Forsaken era, the exotic was moved to the special slot, which means significantly more available ammunition. This was the gateway to many glitches and all sorts of absurd discoveries.

The YouTuber Cheese Forever summarized the glitch history of Telesto in a video:

Included are these Telesto glitches:

  • Telesto was able to virtually skip the activity The Blind Well and significantly shorten the duration. A run took seconds instead of the standard 10 minutes
  • In the raid Crown of Sorrow, Telesto was able to circumvent entire mechanics
  • The first disabling of Telesto occurred due to a glitch that instantly refilled the user’s super using grenades – even in PvP
  • Unlimited ammo could also be glitched through Telesto
  • Telesto triggered a multitude of guardian abilities and unnaturally maximized buffs quickly. Instant deadly throwing hammers were just one of the results

What do you think of the cult surrounding the glitchy exo fusion rifle? Do you shake your head or can you only laugh? By the way, Telesto not only causes problems or laughter, but the exotic has also predicted the future of Destiny 2.

Steam reviews show: Fallout 76 is just escaping the trap

The survival MMO Fallout 76 has now been released on Steam and received a major expansion with “Wastelanders.” Once again, the game is causing a stir, but this time it has mostly positive reviews on Steam. What is it about Fallout 76 that excites people? It is the “franchise trap,” says our author Schuhmann.

Here’s the situation with the Steam reviews: Fallout 76 has been around since 2018, but it has only now been released on Steam with the Wastelanders update:

But especially the negative reviews highlight the interesting crux of Fallout 76.

Steam-Fallout-76
Still not great, but already quite okay: 73% of the reviews are positive.

Fallout 76 still stands in the shadow of Fallout 4

This is what some Steam reviews criticize: If you go through the Steam reviews for Fallout 76, you will find a word in some negative reviews: “Fallout 4.”

It is stated:

  • People wished for a “Fallout 4 multiplayer,” but got Fallout 76 instead
  • A Steam reviewer is disappointed because Fallout 76 is not an “open world” game like Fallout 4.
  • Wastelanders, another hoped, should bring the epic depth of Fallout 4, but now only brought “typical MMO” quests.

In short: A criticism from players of Fallout 76 is that it is an MMO and not a single-player RPG.

Fallout-Steam-Kritik
An excerpt from a negative Steam review of Fallout 76, which 1624 people labeled as “helpful”.

Bethesda is stuck in the “franchise trap” with Fallout 76:

  • The fans of the series want a successor to Fallout 4 or a “multiplayer mode”
  • The fans have clear expectations for a game in their series: They want to find exactly the strengths that they loved in previous titles
  • Bethesda wants to develop an online game to monetize it in the long term. Because no matter how much success Fallout 4 or Skyrim had, these games only make money with releases – an MMO or a “games-as-a-service” title is a secure source of income over the years
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 was the last single-player RPG in the series. It was released in 2015 and has a Metacritic score of 84%.

Here’s why this is important: The Fallout RPG series is something of a sanctuary for role-players on PC. The series has been around since 1997: It has always impressed with an extraordinary scenario, dry humor, and its own aesthetics.

The “Bethesda of old” is considered alongside the “BioWare of old” as “the RPG forge” for PC.

Both have tried in recent years to excite their existing fans for new multiplayer online projects and have made efforts to communicate that as well as possible. But there have been setbacks.

So inform Anthem and Fallout 76 their fans that they are online
von Schuhmann

For fans of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls Online in 2014 from the sister studio ZOS was a heavy blow. Instead of a Skyrim successor, an MMORPG came. The second disappointment for the single-player fans came with Fallout 76 instead of Fallout 5.

The Elder Scrolls Online
The Elder Scrolls Online was harshly criticized in 2014 for not being Skyrim and having many “MMO” problems.

This put Fallout 76 in a difficult situation from the very beginning: Just as it had put ESO in a difficult situation back in 2014. Some people wanted to see the games fail, and both online games provided enough fodder for criticism with mixed release versions:

  • There were technical problems
  • Content deficiencies
  • The typical weaknesses of MMOs that annoy single-player fans the most, like: monotonous quests, unnecessary side missions, grind, and weak NPCs. Fallout 76 even completely eliminated NPCs.

And no matter how such games are communicated beforehand: Ultimately, single-player fans always feel somewhat deceived. Because even the name “The Elder Scrolls” or “Fallout” suggests them a different gaming experience than what they then encounter.

Fallout 76 Abschluss in Camp McClintock Soldat
Fallout 76 – a Fallout without NPCs? Many criticized this about the survival MMO.

This was Bethesda’s reaction: To the criticism of ESO 2014, the developers ultimately reacted as follows:

  • Zenimax Online Studios, a sister studio of Bethesda, brought together some of the core gamers in the fall of 2014 for a meeting, laid the cards on the table and discussed what needs to be done
  • They consistently directed the game over the years towards “Skyrim Online” – they changed the payment model from subscription to buy-to-play, reworked the endgame, removed useless limits and restrictions from the game, focused on story-heavy expansions, and simply brought much more content

To the criticism of Fallout 76, Bethesda ultimately reacted similarly:

  • Here too, there was talk of “meetings with core gamers” to address the issues. This apparently happened back in 2019 before the “Nuclear Winter” update
  • With Wastelanders, the game is now more clearly moving towards a “Fallout 4 multiplayer” than before
  • Even the NPCs have now arrived

That this method has had some initial success can be seen in the positive Steam reviews. The mood around the game seems to have improved somewhat.

Fallout 76 Wastelanders Erste NPCs
The NPCs are here.

It is clear: Bethesda will find it hard to reach hardcore fans of single-player RPGs. However, they can find a compromise. Ultimately, time and consistent work on the game will help to escape the comparison with Fallout 4, where Fallout 76 can only lose.

And perhaps in a few years, Fallout 76 will be viewed like ESO: It will be seen as a standalone game that has its strengths and weaknesses, but is no longer trapped in this “This is not a single-player RPG” franchise trap.

A report on how Fallout 76 plays and has changed with Wastelanders can be read here.

What legendary MMO villain are you? Join our quiz

Imagine being in an MMO not as the hero, but as a villain. Which MMO villain would you be? Find out.

Do you find villains fascinating too? Hardly any fantasy story is complete without them. And they are often represented in MMOs. They have no scruples and use their often impressive abilities to achieve their goals – no matter the cost.

In most cases, we gamers play “the good guys” in MMOs. So we are the heroes who save the princess, the kingdom, and the world. But what if we don’t want to be good? What if we want to lay waste to everything for a change? They say that evil resides in each of us, just waiting to be released.

So here’s the question: If you were an MMO villain, which one would you be? Which cruel and cunning villain fits you best?

Well, we’ve created a quiz to find that out for you.

Diablo 3: Season 20 surprises with Goblin Buff – What does this mean for you?

Season 20 of Diablo 3 has become more attractive for many players, as another buff is now active. This brings you more goblins – but there is a catch.

What is this buff? Surprisingly, Blizzard activated a goblin buff on Friday evening, April 17, for the currently running Season 20 of Diablo 3. The season has been active for a month.

The buff ensures that the spawns of treasure goblins will be doubled until the end of Season 20. So if you find a treasure goblin, there will be another treasure goblin right next to it. This results in more loot, but also chaos if both disappear in different directions.

What does the goblin buff look like?

Here are the details: There are a few more things you need to consider regarding the goblin buff. The menagerist goblins can, as players prove with videos (via reddit), appear double. This is good for you because you will get two companions in one encounter.

Diablo 3 Goblin Double Spawn
If you now encounter goblins, they will spawn in pairs in the wild

However, there is a catch, as not all types of goblins are affected by the buff. Blizzard explains:

  • Goblins from bandit shrines, goblin “rift” groups, or the goblins in the realm of treasures are not affected
  • If you encounter a double spawn of rainbow goblins, both Whimsydale portals lead to the same dungeon
  • The goblins of the “Unbearable Scoundrel” type are intentionally excluded from the goblin buff

Diablo 3: This cool bat is the reason why I am pushing through Season 20
von Patrick Freese

Is it worth it for you?

Here’s why it is worth it: If you turned your back on Season 20 a few days ago but actually enjoy playing Diablo 3, it is worth taking another look at Season 20. This way, you can now farm materials or companions more easily due to the increased goblin spawns.

Here’s why it is not worth it: If you found the season theme of Season 20 too boring, the goblin buff won’t change much. Players have already expressed wishes to double the material drops as well. If Blizzard were to consider this request, the season could also become exciting for you again.

If this is now a reason for you to play S20, then grab a set from the tier list for Season 20 in Diablo 3 and get started.

CoD Modern Warfare: Players excite thousands with action like in John Wick

In the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a combat scene has accidentally emerged that could easily come from a Hollywood action movie. Thousands of players are celebrating the clip.

What is the clip about? The players of CoD: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone often put on spectacular performances and like to capture these in clips.

Whether helicopter pilots trying to be grill masters or knife throwing skills that are unmatched – the creativity on display knows hardly any limits.

Now, a fresh clip is causing excitement within the community. Reddit user ghaupt1 managed to capture a spectacular combat moment that one would more commonly see in John Wick movies or the Bourne series.

Ghost

What exactly does the clip show? A player, who is playing as Ghost, catches another inattentive player from behind and initiates an execution – a Finishing Move.

As Ghost spectacularly takes down his opponent, he is also surprised from behind by a finisher, leading to another combat sequence. However, he unexpectedly and impressively manages to win this one as well. But see for yourself:

Link to the Reddit content

What is so special about it? Many wondered how the scene could even occur in this manner. Apparently, it is a thick coincidence, as well as possibly a bug. Initially, the player in the Ghost skin starts a finisher, but is interrupted by an enemy finisher just before his animation finishes.

During the execution performed by the female operator, it apparently belongs to the animation that the victim, in this case Ghost, initially resists. This creates the further combat sequence in the clip.

Eventually, Ghost or something else interrupts the animation of the second finisher and takes out the female operator with a shot from his weapon.

The special part: Although all of this happens completely by chance, it flows so seamlessly and smoothly into each other that it almost looks like a scripted combat scene from an action movie. The fact that chance and possibly also errors play a significant role is absolutely not visible.

Ghost in action

This is what other players are saying: In the community, the short video is being heavily celebrated. Within just 10 hours, the post on reddit received over 10,000 upvotes, players love this clip.

The scene seems as if it is directly from a movie. “Oh my God, that is Jason Bourne,” can be read from several users referencing comparable scenes that are characteristic of the Bourne series. Or also “Baba Yaga” as a reference to John Wick.

Some also think the clip would be perfect as material for cut-scenes. And almost everyone agrees: It is an absolute masterpiece.

What do you think of the clip? Do you share the community’s enthusiasm, or does this action moment leave you completely cold? By the way, parallels to movies or series are not only present in this clip: Players are crazy about new skin – Reminds of Netflix star

WoW shows new character creation – players see possible console version

In the latest alpha build of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, the new character creation screen can be seen for the first time. This is well received by most players, but also leads to wild speculations.

This is what the new screen looks like: On the night of April 17, a new build for the currently running alpha of Shadowlands was released. This also brought the new character creation.

This is now significantly more compact than before. Instead of displaying all possible options with a preview and cluttering the screen with text, all races and classes can now be seen at a glance. Additional info is available with a right-click. The customization options are divided into several areas with sliders:

The new editor is still in development, which is why races like Kul Tiran and Worgen are not yet visible. Additionally, all of the new character customization options, including the void elves, are missing. None of this can be tried out yet.

By the time Shadowlands is released, there may still be a lot of changes to the editor. If you’re looking for more details on the new features, you can find all info on the upcoming expansion Shadowlands here.

Players see mobile in the screen – or consoles

This is what players see in it: In a thread on reddit , some WoW fans have already exchanged thoughts on the new character creation. Many find the implementation great, but lament the lack of story for the races. A setback for role-players.

Some others claim to have discovered hints in the new design. User Enosh25 finds it “too mobile”. User Filnizer says it reminds him of the character creation from the mobile game World of Kings:

World of Kings WoW
This image of the character creation in the mobile game World of Kings was compared to the editor. Image source: reddit.

In fact, a mobile spin-off of WoW is a wish of the players, but whether this is intended in this form remains questionable.

Everything indicates that WoW Mobile is the new game, but maybe not as an MMORPG
von Schuhmann

What does the new UI mean? However, the consideration has also sparked a discussion about whether this is intended more for a console adaptation.

Players find that the new creation looks as though it is designed to provide more comfort to console gamers. Additionally, a controller support for WoW is supposed to be coming.

In 2018, Blizzard almost ruled out a console version of WoW. Therefore, it is more likely that it is simply about a simple modernization and an improvement for accessibility. Both controllers and better visibility can help people with disabilities to pursue their hobby more easily.

Until Shadowlands finally launches, a lot can still change, as everything is still in development at the moment. If you want to help out and provide your feedback, you can register for participation. All info on Alpha & Beta for Shadowlands and registration can be found here.

When does it start? The first Team of the Season will be released on Friday, April 24 at 7:00 PM in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

TOTS becomes TOTTSF

What is the Team of the Season So Far? This year, the TOTS event is running a bit differently due to the current Corona crisis than FUT veterans are used to. In this TOTS, the performances of players are counted up to the last matchday before the football break.

All performances that take place after the Corona-related break will not be considered for this year’s TOTS. Strong performances will then be awarded with TOTW or Man-of-the-Match cards.

Which players can be chosen? You can vote for who should be included in the Community TOTSSF through the FUT community pages FUTWIZ and FUTHEAD. Players from all over the world can be chosen, who have received at most one performance-based special card in FUT 20 so far.

There are the following rules for voting:

  • You may choose a maximum of 5 players from the same league
  • At least 2 goalkeepers
  • At least 6 defenders
  • At least 6 midfielders
  • At least 3 forwards

There are also prominent players represented in the selection, such as: Busquets, Fernandinho, Thiago, Pique, Godin, Icardi, or Casemiro.

How long will the event last? Typically, the TOTS event in FUT runs over several weeks, during which a new Team of the Season from a major league is released each week. We expect another multi-week event that will last at least 5 weeks.

Fortnite is getting a new shotgun – This is how strong it will be

Data miners have found hints of a new shotgun in Fortnite. Will it be stronger than the regular shotgun? How powerful is the weapon supposed to be?

What kind of shotgun is this? The data miner HYPEX was able to find a new shotgun named: “Charge” in Fortnite’s data.

The new gun seems to be in the works and could be added to the game soon.

The new shotgun is supposed to be available in all rarities. You would find it quite often on the ground, in chests, and supply drops, unlike epic and legendary shotguns, which are much rarer.

The new shotgun’s strength

How much damage does the weapon deal? The data miner HYPEX could see in the files how much damage the shotgun is supposed to deal.

Body shots are supposed to deal 68 to 102 damage, depending on whether you hit a critical spot. The closer the shot hits the head, the higher the damage will be.

Headshots are supposed to receive a multiplier of 1.5. Therefore, the lowest damage would be -> 102 and the highest damage -> 153.

How long does it take to reload? The new shotgun is supposed to reload quickly. It will take one second to fully reload the ammunition.

How big is the magazine supposed to be? A magazine is supposed to hold 3 shots. You can fire them one after another before you need to reload again.

New shotgun better than the regular shotgun?

Which shotgun is better? In comparison, the new shotgun should deal more damage to the body. But for headshots, the regular shotgun wins. You can see the damage numbers of the regular shotgun at fortnitetracker.com.

Shotguns are among the most popular weapons of Season 2, and finding the right one can give you a strong combat advantage.

The advantage of the new shotgun is the reload time. Here you only need 1 second. For the regular shotgun, it takes 6.3 seconds.

Additionally, the regular shotgun has a larger magazine with 8 shots. The new one would only have 3.

As another option, the new shotgun would certainly be good, but it cannot really compete with the good old shotgun.

Fortnite: Deadpool Week 9 – Find shorts and salute pants

In Fortnite: Battle Royale the Deadpool Challenges for Week 9 are here. You must help Deadpool find his shorts and then salute in front of his pants. This week there is a cool style variant as a reward. We will show you all the locations.

What is this challenge? In Week 9 of Season 2 in Fortnite, you need to search for an item in the Agents’ headquarters and salute in front of Deadpool’s pants on the yacht.

Deadpool has taken over the yacht and a Deadpool event is taking place there.

By completing these tasks, you can unlock another style variant for the Deadpool skin.

Deadpool’s Shorts – Location

For the first part of the task, you need to find Deadpool’s shorts in the Agents’ headquarters.

Simply select the Agents’ room:

Fortnite-agenten-zimmer

Then, select Agent Midas and visit his room. There you will find Deadpool’s shorts on a chair.

Fortnite-deadpool-shorts

Salute in front of Deadpool’s Pants

For the second part of the task, you need to go to the Fortnite map, which has been slightly altered by the Deadpool event.

For this task, you should land on Deadpool’s yacht, which is located in the northeastern part of the map. In the front area, right at the tip, you will find a flapping pair of pants.

These are the sought-after Deadpool pants. You can interact with them so you can salute in front of them.

Fortnite-Deadpool-hose

While the task sounds funny, you should be careful, as Deadpool and his henchmen can attack you while they patrol. It is best to disguise yourself as a henchman at a phone booth so you don’t get noticed.

Also watch out for other opponents who want to complete this task as well.

What rewards are there for the tasks?

If you have completed both tasks, you unlock another cool style variant in the X-Force style for your Deadpool skin.

Pokémon GO: A new regional monster for Germany is coming – but only briefly

In Pokémon GO you can catch some monsters only in specific locations. However, next week, two Pokémon will be available worldwide.

These are the Pokémon: Recently, a leak hinted that the two bugs Volbeat and Illumise might soon appear worldwide. With the new buddy event next week, this will indeed be the case: Both will be available everywhere for the event period from April 21 to April 27.

Catch Illumise and Volbeat – also as Shiny

What changes here: Normally, you can only catch one of both monsters in Germany – namely Volbeat. This is the regional Pokémon of this duo for Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Illumise is usually only found in North and South America as well as Africa.

So if you’re missing an Illumise in your collection, you can take the opportunity during the event. Both Pokémon are not significant in battles: They are not represented on the list of best PvP monsters, and you should prefer to use other Pokémon in raids and arenas. However, for the Pokédex, you should definitely catch at least one specimen if you don’t have them yet. Especially since the two bugs will return to their respective regions after the event.

Volbeat Illumise Shiny
You can also secure the Shinies

Both monsters will be available for the first time, as many trainers have already suspected, also as Shiny. This should motivate many trainers who already have a Volbeat or Illumise to search and catch them.

How can you get Volbeat and Illumise? Both Pokémon can be caught in the wild. However, they also appear in eggs and can be rewards for field research. So it shouldn’t be too hard to secure the regional Pokémon.

What do the NPCs do? If an atomic bomb falls on an NPC town in the new Wastelanders update of Fallout 76, then honestly, not much happens. The NPCs put on protective suits and go about their business. Some even seem a bit annoyed while dusting off.

This is a reaction that fits perfectly with their dry humor: “An atomic bomb? Damn, then I can’t wear my nice dress.” The video from YouTuber Rattler shows it all in action:

With Wastelanders, two major factions have come to Fallout 76: The Raiders and the Settlers. Both have a base, essentially a large town, in the north and south of the map respectively. Rattler chose Foundation, the base of the Raiders. However, all new locations likely work as targets unless they are in safe zones like the Wayward.

Where do the bombs come from? The bombs are actually meant to provide endgame content for players by opening a kind of raid at certain locations. The atomic bombs summon the Scorchbeast Queen.

To even get an atomic bomb, you have to work through a long series of encrypted messages and crack a code, to finally enter it in a heavily guarded bunker. How to get codes and fire a nuke is explained here.

That’s why there is always an invisible atomic bomb in Fallout 76

Players praise the details – and the humor

How players react: So far, over 25,000 people have watched the video and commented on it. Bethesda is praised for the attention to detail, although with a little jab:

  • “That they put on a suit is more effort than I expected”
  • “I expected ghouls and 100% of the settlement in ruins […] Good to know that Bethesda isn’t going the way of outright jerks.”
  • “I love this guy who is cleaning. Damn, that dedication.”

The video creator Rattler himself says: “It’s not much, but I appreciate the effort. That’s a cool little detail.” Bethesda has indeed put a lot of effort into the NPCs, and MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus finds it was absolutely the right decision.

Why should you even do that? There isn’t really any advantage to attacking the settlements. There’s neither extremely good loot nor bosses that appear because of the atomic bomb, at least none are known so far.

Still, many players seem to feel the need to express their opinions to the new NPCs with atomic emphasis. In your biggest wishes for Wastelanders, MeinMMO readers even revealed that they would like to drive the NPCs away again, after all they fought to make it habitable.

Overall, the update is exceptionally well received and seems to be the salvation for Fallout 76 that many fans hoped for the game. After initial difficulties, the ratings on Steam have skyrocketed and more than doubled. Currently (April 17), they are “mostly positive” with 71%.

Immortal cheaters in CoD Warzone terrorize fair teams – Here is what you can do

Players of Call of Duty: Warzone repeatedly report eerie encounters. Aimbot cheaters, God mode hackers, and whatnot disturb regular players. Check out what this looks like and what you can do.

How do players cheat in the Warzone? There are many types of cheating in Call of Duty: Warzone, but three cheats are the most prominent:

  • God mode – The hacker becomes immortal
  • Aim bot – The hack assists in aiming to automatically hit all opponents
  • Wall glitch – Players exploit weaknesses in the level structure to attack opponents from walls

God mode and aim bot are indeed real hacks. Through sneaky tools, cheaters gain a ruthless advantage. You cannot eliminate these players, for example, because they take no damage or cheaters show in the kill cam an inhuman level of accuracy.

The “wall glitch” seems almost harmless but is equally unfair. There are apparently a few weaknesses in the level structure where glitchers can hide outside the visible map and fire bullets from walls.

Cheaters easily take out entire teams

What does this look like? A new video once again shows how unfair and brazen cheaters act. “RaviVora” shared a clip of his team on reddit, which was just about to win. Only one opponent was left, and the squad was rightly confident of victory. But then things got ugly:

The four-person squad just couldn’t take down the solo player. The team tried everything: constant fire, grenades, rocket launchers, melee attacks – nothing helped against the damned cheater. And instead of a strong victory, they only achieved a disappointing second place. That is really not nice to see.

What can I do about it? If you notice a cheater in the Warzone, try to flee. Aimbot cheaters and wall glitchers could still somehow be dealt with, but in close combat, you rarely have a chance here.

However, against a god mode cheater, you virtually have no chance to take him down. Even if you can flee, you will see the unfair spinner again at the endgame.

If you encounter a cheater, report the player. Infinity Ward has already banned 70,000 cheaters and promises to continue working on the problem.

cod-Warzone-out-of-bounds-glitch-1
The kill cam from the perspective of a wall glitcher.

Report players who cheat and hack whenever possible!

How do I report players? This cannot be done directly in the match, but once you are back in the lobby, you can report the cheater – you just have to remember his nickname.

In your social menu, where you usually organize your squad and regiments, you have the “Recent Players” tab on the far right. Here you can see the last 200 players you played with in a match. Click on the player and in the pop-up menu, you will find “Report Player”.

Is there anything else I can do? Technically speaking, it is much more difficult to hack on consoles than on PC, as it is much easier to access the game’s data here. Some players therefore suggest to disable crossplay to protect themselves from hackers.

But especially the wall glitchers can be found on all platforms and have long been a problem in regular multiplayer of Modern Warfare.

The developers at Infinity Ward repeatedly emphasize that they continue to work on effective measures against cheaters. Players have long demanded, for example, a more direct way to report cheaters. Gameplay scenes like the ones in the video above hopefully belong to the past soon.

Valorant shows less blood to earn more money

Riot Games aims to reach as broad an audience as possible with the online shooter Valorant. To achieve this, the amount of blood shown must be reduced.

What is the issue with blood in Valorant? Riot Games wants to establish the shooter in the eSports scene, a first major tournament has already taken place. In eSports, many matches are broadcast live or can be watched as recordings, for example via Twitch or YouTube.

To reach as many viewers and therefore interested players as possible, blood must not be shown in Valorant during tournaments.

That’s why there is no blood in eSports tournaments

What does Riot Games say about the situation? Whalen Rozelle, Senior Director of eSports at Riot Games, explains the situation as follows:

„Ultimately, we want our eSport to be as accessible as possible, and this includes achieving a high reach. By removing blood, we enable more sponsors and merchants to join the ecosystem, which ultimately leads to greater accessibility and stability for everyone.”

Whalen Rozelle, Senior Director of Esports at Riot Games

Why is that so? So that more players find interest in Valorant and participate or watch, an option has been added to the game that disables blood. This option is to be used especially in eSports tournaments or when the game is streamed live, regardless of the size of the tournament.

For sponsors, it can be problematic if they do not want to be associated with the “killer game” image. Sponsors can also come from areas outside of gaming, such as cosmetics manufacturers. If the depiction of violence is kept to a minimum, it becomes easier for eSports teams and tournament organizers to find sponsors. This increases the potential pool of sponsors.

Furthermore, YouTubers cannot monetize a video if they show content intended for people over 18 years old. This includes a lot of blood in games. If there is an option to turn off the blood, it is more attractive for YouTubers to upload videos about Valorant and show scenes from tournaments.

It is also important to look at China. The huge gaming market in China is subject to strict rules. For example, showing blood is prohibited. The depiction of character corpses can also be a problem that can be disabled in Valorant. All of this must be considered by Riot Games if the studio wants to be successful internationally with Valorant in eSports.

So how does Riot Games proceed now? In eSports tournaments, organizers must ensure that players use the “No Blood Option” to disable blood effects in matches.

Valorant is specifically designed as an online shooter for the competitive scene and aims to play a major role in eSports. If you want to know how Riot Games’ title plays, MeinMMO editor Jeya Jankowski reveals what she thinks of the shooter.

WoW Classic: Guild defeats boss in 2 minutes, which even the WoW chief couldn’t do

In WoW Classic the new raid Zul’Gurub has only recently opened and has already been defeated. One of the fights offers a special challenge and has officially been undefeated until now.

Which boss is it? It is the final boss in the new raid, the Blood God Hakkar. Hakkar is a Loa worshipped by the Gurubashi trolls and waits for the players at his altar in Zul’Gurub as the last boss.

What makes him so difficult? The boss fight with Hakkar itself is actually not that hard; he was already killed several times during Vanilla. However, he has a special mechanic that makes him more challenging if one wishes – a kind of “hard mode” and the first of its kind.

WoW-Hakkar
The Loa God Hakkar.

In Zul’Gurub there are five priests who act as additional bosses. The plan is to defeat them before the group engages Hakkar. If left alive, they grant the boss various additional abilities:

  • High area damage, silencing players for 8 seconds
  • the dangerous Blood Plague also deals about 800 damage to the raid
  • Stun the player with the highest threat for 6 seconds – resets threat
  • 150% increased attack speed
  • makes the player with the highest threat incapacitated for 2 seconds – resets threat

Since April 15 at 11:59 PM the fourth phase has started on WoW’s Classic servers and with it, Zul’Gurub is accessible for the first time in the updated version. Zul’Gurub first appeared on September 13, 2005, with Patch 1.7 for World of Warcraft.

Who accomplished this? The guild “BlaDE of KiLL” made their way to Hakkar shortly after the raid opened and killed him in just one minute and 21 seconds. Here is the video; the fight begins at minute 4:37:

Even the WoW director has failed

What’s behind this? The current game director of World of Warcraft, Ion Hazzikostas, also attempted to kill Hakkar during Vanilla in this composition. At that time, he was the guild leader of the guild “Elitist Jerks”.

His guild attempted the kill a few hours before the release of the first expansion “The Burning Crusade” with the then-best gear from the raid Naxxramas. However, they fell short with 2% health left on the boss.

How did the guild manage to achieve this? “BlaDE of KiLL” armed themselves to the teeth and buffed themselves with every possible buff.

So several warriors wielded the legendary weapon Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, which they owe in part to outrageous loot luck in Molten Core.

wow thunderfury beim schurken
Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?

Numerous players obtained the rank “Grand Marshal,” the highest PvP rank of the Alliance, which even the toughest streamers have struggled to achieve. They also worked with special buffs and debuffs to weaken Hakkar’s armor and make his attacks even stronger, causing him to take more damage in return.

Moreover, they only had 90 seconds before one of the boss’s spells would wipe them out and heal him. The race was an “all or nothing” situation that ultimately worked out.

Hakkar himself receives a new character model in the new WoW expansion Shadowlands and will face the players again. Are you looking forward to being able to take him down again?

Pokémon GO finally lets you send Pokémon much more conveniently

Mass transfers for event Pokémon in Pokémon GO are finally allowed. A feature that players have been asking for years. Why was that so annoying?

What’s new? Niantic support officially announced that in the new update with version number 0.173.0 a major change is coming. A long-requested feature will be activated. They write:

Trainers, in our latest update (0.173.0) you can now transfer multiple Pokémon that are wearing costumes. Please note that Pokémon that are currently or were previously your buddy cannot be sent this way.

Source: Niantic Support on Twitter

Why is this change so important?

This was annoying: If you participated in events like the recent Easter event 2020, you encountered monsters with costumes during your Pokémon hunt. This included Pikachu with a flower hat or Haspiror with a flower crown.

Pokémon GO Spring 2020 Title
Here you see the costumed event Pokémon from the Easter event

On one hand, players are happy about the catches. But if you have collected many of them and want to send them, you had to do it one by one for each costumed Pokémon – and that takes time. Additionally, each individual transfer had to be confirmed twice. In February, trainers were already vocal and demanded: “We want to send event Pokémon normally”

Pokémon without costumes could already be sent as mass transfers simultaneously long ago. This always made things faster.

Pokémon expert and MeinMMO author Noah Struthoff already explained that the Easter event was both cool and annoying.

What’s better now: With the new update, trainers can also send the event Pokémon as mass transfers. So if your collection is full of costumed specimens, you can now send them to the professor much faster and more easily upon request.

What the players say: Many trainers are very excited about this announcement. On Twitter, user @CoopsTheCasual shows the change in action and writes: “THANK.YOU.SO.MUCH. Honestly, this really is the best feature you’ve tweaked for a long time. Thanks again”

In the corresponding thread on reddit, players write:

  • […] I still don’t understand why it wasn’t like this all the time […]”
  • A player explains “It was removed because a bug displayed the costumed Pokémon as normal Pokémon in the Pokémon box, and people accidentally sent the costumed Pokémon […]”
  • “I might now catch more than one costumed Pokémon”
  • “After 4 years, technology for mass transfers has finally arrived”

Strong Pokémon without costumes can also be caught in raids. It won’t be long before you can raid from home. Niantic has now shown further details, on how these home raids will take place and what else will change.

CoD MW Remaster 2: What’s up with the missing multiplayer? Leak brings new info

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, players can embark on a time travel journey to one of the most popular CoD installments. However, the highlight, the multiplayer mode, is currently missing. A leak now reveals why that might be the case.

The current status of the Remastered CoD MW 2: On March 31st, the wait for many CoD fans came to an end as the Remastered version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was finally released. A polished and enhanced version of the classic from 2009 (initially only on PS4).

Currently, only the cool campaign is playable, with no trace of the multiplayer mode. However, many consider that to be the heart and one of the best MP modes in the entire series. According to official statements from Activision, it’s not something to expect at this time.

Currently, CoD is focusing on Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale Warzone

A leak has revealed that behind closed doors, there is indeed work being done on the acclaimed multiplayer. The leaker has now returned with new information.

Where do the sources come from? The leak we are referring to comes in both cases from TheGamingRevolution. He has made a name for himself in the CoD community through his accurate predictions. However, take these statements with a grain of skepticism. They are not officially confirmed.

His Twitter account seems to have been banned in the meantime, but in a recently released video, he shared his purported insights with the world:

“They don’t know if they’ll ever release [the MP]”

What does the new leak say? According to the latest information, the multiplayer mode of the Remastered version is basically finished and could be released. However, the developers have decided against it because “so much has changed, and they’re not sure if the community would like it.”

Furthermore, it is said about the multiplayer: “It has strayed far from the original Modern Warfare 2.” The reason for the silence regarding the missing multiplayer mode is therefore the fear of upsetting fans of the classic, according to the leak.

More in the video:

I have heard that they are still testing it, so I assume they are still making changes. I feel that it will eventually come out, I just really don’t know when. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not until a year from now.

TheGamingRevolution via YouTube

What does Activision say about this? Regarding the current leak, the publisher of Call of Duty or developer Infinity Ward has not commented. However, they continue to stand by their statement that they do not want to unnecessarily divide the player base.

The current focus is entirely on CoD: Modern Warfare and the hot new Warzone mode. There, they respond quickly to player feedback and promptly bring back the most popular mode and even have a long-awaited surprise up their sleeve.

Fortnite: Twitch streamer Tfue is accused of abusing his kids’ army power

The Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney mocked the same duo during a Fortnite tournament. Now he is accused of using his kids army to intimidate other players.

This is the situation: The Fortnite pro Tfue is participating in the “Fortnite Champions Series” in duo with his partner “Scoped”. He qualified for the finals, which will start on April 17 (via Epic Games).

During the qualification, another duo consistently landed in the same spot as Tfue. The Twitch streamer and his partner eliminated the opposing duo at the beginning of each round, which is now causing discussions.

The encounters are now causing problems

What is the problem? In Fortnite, part of the tactic is to find a good landing spot from which to start and collect loot. This can be crucial for success in a tournament.

Tfue chose the landing spot “The Grotto” for this tournament. However, the opposing duo “OopsRekt” and “StarvingAiden” also chose this location.

Tfue’s fans likely thought the other duo were stream-snipers trying to ruin their favorite streamer’s tournament by landing in the same spot. Therefore, they attacked the duo.

Tfue should watch what he says

This is how the opposing duo reacted to the accusation: The opposing duo reportedly has been landing at “The Grotto” for much longer than Tfue. A video posted by the clan StarvingHustler on Twitter supposedly proves that they did not land there because of the streamer.

https://twitter.com/Starving_Gaming/status/1249558350825750528?s=20

In the video posted by the clan, you can see StarvingAidan receiving many hate messages.

In a comment, there is even a post detailing where StarvingAidan is supposed to live. Tfue’s fans go so far as to publish personal information about the opponents.

The accusation against Tfue: He should be careful about what he says because he has a strong influence on children who cannot think for themselves. This only happens because Tfue decided to land there. That is sad.

Tfue is exploiting his power over these children, causing players to perhaps be too afraid to join in. This would ruin their joy in being successful, especially when they receive so much hate.

Tfue mocked the opposing team

How did Tfue react to the video? In the stream, Tfue watched this video from the clan and then mocked the opposing duo. He spoke very sarcastically, saying the duo was so intimidating.

“They have been landing there for ages. They surely have a lot of experience. You should be wary of them.”

After all the rounds, he looked at the tournament placements. The opposing duo had 0 eliminations in all 6 matches.

“Oh, they have 0 eliminations in 6 matches? And we have just started landing there?! You should be more careful!”

The streamer seems to find it amusing that the duo keeps landing with them and fails every time. This does not indicate that they have been landing there for a long time and are familiar with the landing spot.

Publishing personal information like residence is not okay. For streamers, this can lead to their house being SWATed. This is what happened to the world champion Bugha when a special unit suddenly stood in front of his door, because a viewer wanted to play a prank and called the police anonymously.

The Division 2: Unscheduled Maintenance on April 17 – Process and Patch Notes

Update 12:04 PM: According to Massive, the maintenance is now over. The servers should be available again on all platforms. There were no additions to the patch notes.

The Division 2 has scheduled urgent maintenance today for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The servers will also be offline for some time. How does the maintenance proceed? And what do the patch notes say?

What is the maintenance about? Actually, there were no maintenance works planned for today for The Division 2. However, as the developers of Massive just announced on Twitter, an emergency maintenance has been scheduled for this morning.

These are the key times:

  • The maintenance work will begin today at 11:00 AM German time.
  • Thus, downtime will start, and the servers will be offline for a while.
  • The server downtime is expected to last for one hour. So, anyone wanting to play comfortably will have to take an enforced break.
  • By noon, at 12:00 PM, the Division 2 servers should be back online and the maintenance should end – provided everything goes according to plan.

However, keep in mind that the maintenance could end a bit earlier or even a few hours later. The times are therefore only for rough orientation and are not 100% binding. Especially as this is an unplanned maintenance, there could potentially be delays.

What is the reason for the maintenance? The patch notes reveal: So far, Massive only indicates back-end changes as the reason for the urgent maintenance – as with the last maintenance on April 14. These are being made to resolve server crashes.

No further information is currently available, but they may follow during the maintenance. If this is the case, we will update it here as soon as possible.

In Torchlight 3 you can live in a large fort if you deserve it

The action RPG Torchlight 3 gets a housing feature. But instead of a simple house, you will build a whole fort.

Where do you live in Torchlight 3? In online games, it is often possible to build a house and furnish it according to your own preferences. In Torchlight 3, which was originally announced as Torchlight Frontiers, you also get a home.

However, you live in the fantasy world in a large fort. You are also allowed to expand and decorate it as you like.

Torchlight 3 Fort 1
In Torchlight 3, you get a fort as a home that you can expand and decorate.

Become the lord of your own fort

How do you get the fort? Nearby, a tribe of goblins has settled. Right where you would like to live. So, you pay them a visit and make it clear with sword and magic that this area now belongs to you. Now you own the fort and can use it as a base.

What can you do in the fort? You enjoy a lot of freedom when it comes to expansion and decoration. It is possible, for example, to create a beautiful garden or to place a monument of the greatest hero: you.

You can create new decorative objects and place them anywhere you want. You can also find decorative items during your adventures.

Torchlight 3 Fort 2
How you decorate your fort in Torchlight 3 is up to you. The luck tree, for example, provides a small buff.

What does the home bring? The housing in Torchlight 3 – which belongs to the 9 hack ‘n slays we expect for 2020 – is basically cosmetic in nature. You gain hardly any advantages when you seize the fort from the goblins and settle there. The feature is meant for you to unleash your creativity in decoration. However, you can, for example, place an enchanting station or a luck tree in the fort that provides some buffs.

Additionally, it is possible to show your fort to other players. Although Torchlight 3 is no longer an MMO, you can still play together with others. This allows you to invite teammates to your fort and also visit the structures of others.

What else does the fort bring? Your home counts for the entire account and not just for one character. All your heroes can participate in the expansion, live there, and use the enchanting station to upgrade items.

When is Torchlight 3 coming out? The action RPG, which has developed from an MMO into a classic sequel of the hack-and-slash series, is set to be released on Steam this summer. The developers have not yet mentioned a specific date.
