DrDisrespect takes the business perspective

What does DrDisrespect say? Known for his role as a macho who likes to throw around trash talk, there was curiosity about the reaction of streamer DrDisrespect .

In his tweet, he showed goodwill towards Ninja.

I’ll put it this way: It took way too long for Epic to release an influencer skin. Especially a Ninja skin.

Those thin developers from North Carolina are finally awake.

In his tweet, he also symbolically writes of a firm handshake to congratulate Ninja on the skin.

Twitch streamers from LoL want something like that for themselves

Should LoL do the same? It’s intriguing that streamers from other games are speaking up. VoyBoy, Doublelift, and Trick2G, known as League of Legends players, comment on Ninja’s tweet. Voyboy writes simply “Legend”, Doublelift acknowledges “Holy shit, this is insane”.

Trick2G expresses an idea. “LoL should provide me with something like this,” he writes. The streamer is well known in the LoL community – has often caused a stir with his unusual jungle methods or his outbursts.

So far, League of Legends has already dedicated several skins to the pro players who won the World Championship.

Finally, the time has come: The popular Fortnite streamer Ninja has his own skin in Epic’s Battle Royale. What do his fellow streamers on Twitch say about it? Jealousy or congratulations?

This is the situation: On January 15, 2020, developer Epic Games announced a new series of cosmetic outfits that they will be selling in Fortnite: Battle: the Icon Series.

Kicking it off is the livestreamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. His set includes

  • a Ninja outfit
  • the back accessory “Ninja Blades”
  • the emote “Ninja Style”
  • and the pickaxe “Twin Katanas”

See here how the Ninja skin looks in Fortnite.

For several months, Ninja had repeatedly made it clear that he wanted his own skin in the game – for him, it would only make sense.

What other streamers say

The news of the Ninja skin quickly spread across social channels. Twitch streamers friendly with Ninja such as Ben “DrLupo” Lupo or Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar commented positively about it.

DrLupo writes:

Every little detail of this skin is so great. Hats off to the artists who made it look so good.

Congratulations, buddy. Something you have joked about for a long time – now it’s real.

TimTheTatman writes: “So proud of my boy Ninja.”

But there is also a small diss from TimTheTatman. He shows the Ninja skin in his stream and performs a Fortnite dance with it. He then shouts, “Hey guys, I don’t see enough movement!”, dances the dance and laughs.

So far, League of Legends has already dedicated several skins to the pro players who won the World Championship.

In his tweet, he also symbolically writes of a firm handshake to congratulate Ninja on the skin.

Pokémon GO: How to make the most of the Community Day with Piplup

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 4 minutes

The Community Day in January is coming up in Pokémon GO. This time it’s all about the Water starter Piplup. We’ll give an overview of the start time, Shinies, and bonuses.

What is the Community Day? This event takes place every month. It always revolves around an event Pokémon that appears more frequently as a Shiny. There are also many bonuses that complement the event.

In January, everything revolves around Piplup. The starter from Gen 4 appears frequently for a full 3 hours.

Start Times and Bonuses – All Info about the Community Day

What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in January 2020
When: On Sunday, January 19, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM German time 
Pokémon of the Day: Piplup
Exclusive Attack: Hydro Cannon for Empoleon
Bonus: Incubators take only a quarter of the time to hatch
Bonus: During the Community Day, Piplup hatches from 2-km eggs and appears in raids
Bonus: 3-hour Lure Modules
Additional Bonus: You can evolve Empoleon until 4:00 PM to learn the exclusive attack
Piplup Overview

Note the times: The Community Day takes place in Germany at 11 AM. All countries in the Northern Hemisphere have these start times. The countries in the Southern Hemisphere start their event in the afternoon.

How to Make the Most of Community Day

This bonus is crucial: Once again, it’s all about hatching eggs, as the hatch distance is reduced. So make the most of this bonus, and with a bit of luck, you can hatch new Pokémon from Generation 5.

It is important that you only place eggs in the incubator after the event starts. Before that, the reduced distance does not count. Ideally, place the eggs so that they hatch at the same time. Then you can use a Star Piece concurrently and earn more Stardust.

Eggs

Stock up on your Stardust: Not only do the eggs bring in a lot of Stardust during the event. The spawns are increased during Community Day, and you can catch a ton of Pokémon.

So make sure to use the catching trick to catch a lot of Pokémon and collect Stardust. The more Pokémon you catch, the more Shinies you’ll catch.

von Noah Struthoff

Choose the right place to play: A small village is probably not ideal for a Community Day. So consider traveling to the next larger city for the Community Day. Ideally, choose a location with many PokéStops, where, in the best case, many Lure Modules are activated.

Shiny Piplup, Prinplup, and Empoleon

Is there a Shiny Piplup? As always, the Shiny of the event Pokémon is a highlight of Community Day. This time Shiny Piplup will be available for the first time.

The Shiny is a bit lighter than the normal form. So, the difference is not that obvious.

Shiny Piplup

What are the chances of Shiny Piplup? You will have good chances for a Shiny. During Community Day, the rate for Shiny Piplup is increased. It is approximately 1 in 25. Normally, the Shiny chance for such Pokémon is 1 in 450.

Empoleon with Hydro Cannon – What can the move do?

This is the move: Like every Water starter before, Empoleon can learn Hydro Cannon. This is a powerful Charged Move of Water type.

How good is Hydro Cannon? Empoleon will significantly improve with this attack. It rises to the best Water attackers and ranks 4th among the top attackers.

DPS Table
Empoleon with this attack compared to other Water Pokémon.

You can find a detailed analysis of the move for Empoleon here.

So it is a strong alternative to the best attackers but does not necessarily have to belong to your team.

How to learn the move? To do this, you need to evolve your Empoleon on Sunday between 11 AM and 4 PM. During this period, it learns the move through evolution. After that, or only through TMs, the move cannot be learned.

Use These Items on Community Day

  • Egg Incubators – 9 or more
    • For the Community Day bonus, you should have enough incubators. With 9 incubators, you can hatch a total of 27 eggs, which is not bad for 3 hours.
  • Star Pieces – 6 or more
    • With 6 Star Pieces, you can permanently earn 1.5 times the Stardust for the entire 3 hours. This is definitely worth it with the many spawns.
Stardust
  • Lure Modules – 3 or more
    • You should make use of 3-hour Lure Modules and also throw in a few modules. Ideally, choose a location with many PokéStops clustered together.
  • Balls – 200 or more
    • Without balls, you can’t catch any Pokémon. Therefore, collect at least 200 balls, so you don’t run out during the event. Great Balls and Ultra Balls would be ideal since Piplup is certainly not easy to catch.

In Gen 5, there are still some strong Pokémon coming your way. We’ll show you the highlights:

Destiny 2: Probably no quick solution – New puzzle will be “more of a marathon”

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Currently, the community is working hard on Destiny 2 to solve a new massive puzzle – the quest “Exploration of the Corridors of Time.” But it seems like the Guardians will have to work on it for a while longer.

What is currently happening in Destiny 2? Since the Weekly Reset on January 14, many players have been diligently working on solving a quest called “Exploration of the Corridors of Time,” which brings a huge new puzzle.

As with many puzzles before, the Destiny community is currently coming together again. Many players, streamers, and Destiny experts are actively working together to solve the puzzle in a mysterious labyrinth of time and reach a mysterious tomb.

This is what it looks like in the Labyrinth of Time

More about this giant new puzzle can be found here: Exploration of the Corridors of Time – How the new puzzle works

What is the current status of the new mega-puzzle? The community has already made the first major step yesterday, on January 15. This involved walking through a labyrinth in the correct order to unlock a total of 19 different symbol codes.

Source: KackisHD

This revealed further symbol combinations in the time-warped vault, the final room of the labyrinth, from which the Guardians have put together a sort of large labyrinth map.

Will this large map bring the solution? (Source: Reddit user C00ps935)

But now the community just can’t seem to move forward. They still can’t reach the tomb in the middle of the last room. A lot has been tried; various patterns and symbol sequences have been walked through on the map. But no further progress has been made.

Many of these patterns make up the large map (Source: KackisHD)

This is what Bungie says: While some involved Guardians have already despaired, many, such as professional player Gladd, continued diligently until late into the night yesterday.

The community is working on a solution

However, Bungie then spoke up. In a tweet, it said: “Broken into many pieces, the Corridors of Time must be reassembled. The solution is a marathon, not a sprint.”

Later, the community manager dmg04 also spoke up on Twitter. There he urged Gladd’s chat to spam “Go to bed” so that the visibly exhausted streamer would finally set the puzzle aside and get some sleep.

What does this mean for the puzzle? Even though many Guardians are still working on a solution in various sub-Reddits, streams, and social media – it seems there will be no quick solution for this puzzle, especially since it is like a marathon and they are trying to send people to bed.

Some therefore suspect that further progress may be tied to a time lock or that more patterns or hints may emerge over the days through which the puzzle could continue or be solved. But according to Bungie, there will be no time gate. It seems it will simply take an incredibly long time to gather all the necessary data and patterns.

How does one access this tomb? (Source: Reddit user MrTurtleWings)

By the way: That this puzzle is as complex once again as it was with the Niobe Labs is considered unlikely. In the Niobe Lab, the complex puzzle proved to be too difficult, and Bungie also caused some confusion with the solution. Eventually, the studio simply made the Bergusia Forge, which was tied to the progress of the puzzle, available to everyone.

What do you think? How will the puzzle continue? Are you actively participating in the solution, watching it casually, or do such contents leave you cold?

I can hardly admit it, but Patch 8.3 of WoW is really fun

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

Cortyn was initially skeptical, but now he is having a lot of fun with Patch 8.3 in World of Warcraft. But will this last long or fade away quickly?

Since yesterday (January 15, 2020), Patch 8.3 in World of Warcraft is live. I do not hide the fact that I was quite skeptical. This was mainly because I would have preferred to dedicate an entire expansion to an antagonist like N’Zoth rather than just a single patch. But also the fact that almost “only” old areas are being revised and there is little that is truly new made me skeptical.

But at least for now, I can put my doubts aside with confidence. I am having fun with Patch 8.3, as the content is really well done.

WoW Tauren Magni Angry

Great story combined with grind: First of all, I must congratulate Blizzard for the successful combination of the main story with grind elements. The large quest storyline around N’Zoth is cleverly integrated into the new endgame areas, so the initial repulsion of N’Zoth’s attacks does not feel bothersome at all.

For me, it was just a (somewhat more extensive) quest step that I liked. This has given me a more positive attitude towards the attacks and I will surely complete them many more times.

But the sheer length of the questline is also impressive. I think I was moving quite quickly, yet I still took just over 2 hours, excluding the completion of the attacks. This is due to several interesting scenarios, cool cutscenes, and a dense atmosphere.

For those who are not sure what to do, here is a neat to-do list to get started.

WoW Wrathion Story Dragon

Diversion from the dreary everyday life: I particularly want to highlight the events during the attacks. There is really a lot of variety. In addition to the usual “Defend the NPC” events, there are also mini-games with small puzzles, such as the solar panels in Uldum. I also positively noticed the “stepping on eyes while dodging a laser” in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

The small inserts and events clearly lighten the action, making everything feel less grindy than it actually is.

Disturbing visions are my favorite: However, my personal highlight is the Disturbing Visions, which remind me strongly of the Chromie scenario. In the visions, you have limited time and must primarily achieve one goal: kill the final boss. This also marks the end of the visit.

Those who are brave can complete additional objectives in the instance, save some residents or simply kill a few enemies to increase the reward.

WOW NZoth Thrall Corruption

The trick is to plan your remaining health in such a way that you still have enough left to defeat the final boss, regardless of what else you have accomplished. For this, there is a new resource that can be invested back into talent points, which increases your strength in the Disturbing Visions.

This way, you can last longer, deal more damage, or even be resurrected once.

The only downside: The visions are massively limited. You can only visit them 2-3 times a week. Additionally, it can be very frustrating if you die due to a silly mistake and thus get set back in the upgrade of the legendary cloak or the talents for the visions.

However, Patch 8.3 also has a few bugs – you should be aware of them.

Conclusion:
Patch 8.3 has hooked me, but for how long?

In summary, Patch 8.3 has managed to break me out of my current WoW fatigue. I have spent many hours in a row back in the game and I am currently really excited about the new raid and more disturbing visions. Blizzard always manages to rekindle the fire in the fans.

However, I also have a slight fear that this fun will not last forever – probably not even for particularly long. After the main story has more or less been completed, one falls back into the daily routine. Those are the emissary quests, a quick visit to a small vision and a handful of daily quests.

Great variety does not seem to be expected and as soon as the attacks repeat after 2 weeks, the thrill could be gone again.

But until then I am having fun – and besides, the new raid is coming too…

How do you like Patch 8.3 so far? What is your first impression?

CoD Modern Warfare extends Season 1 and brings a new weapon

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

The currently ongoing Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is being extended. There will be quite a few things to do, including earning a new weapon.

The developers announced: In a new developer blog, Infinity Ward surprisingly announced that they will extend the ongoing Season 1 of CoD Modern Warfare – by one week.

The first season started on December 3, 2019, and was originally supposed to last until February 3. The new end date for Season 1 has now been set to February 11.

COD MODERN WARFARE HOLGER-26

Why the extension? In the coming weeks, a lot of new items and challenges are supposed to make their way into the game – including an in-game challenge where you can earn a new weapon.

Additionally, further game modes, new playlists, and extra store content will be activated.

To accommodate everything before the season ends, Season 1 of Modern Warfare has been extended. Furthermore, during this time

  • Double XP
  • Double Weapon XP
  • Double tier progression in the Battle Pass will be provided

so you can prepare well for the upcoming Season 2. By the way, if you want to level up the Season 1 Battle Pass faster, you can find some tips here: 7 tips for leveling up the Battle Pass of CoD Modern Warfare quickly

cod modern warfare season 1 roadmap
The roadmap for Season 1 of Call of Duty Modern Warfare

What new weapon is coming? The new weapon will officially be a crossbow.

The crossbow is already known from previous “Call of Duty” installments like Black Ops, Black Ops 2, Advanced Warfare, or World War 2, and had a loyal fan base there. Infinity Ward has not yet revealed details about the corresponding challenge or the exact function of the crossbow.

However, what the weapon looks like is likely already known. As early as November 2019, the crossbow was leaked along with the Vector SMG. Whether the Vector might also come into play in Season 1 is not known. The crossbow has now been confirmed.

This is what the new crossbow probably looks like: Last November, clever players first noticed an in-game poster featuring a crossbow, hinting at the weapon.

The weapon apparently comes from XRK, a fictional brand that enhances some firearms in Modern Warfare with blueprints featuring new attachments in a special look.

Subsequently, initial in-game images of the new weapon itself have already surfaced. They came from a short video that leaked its way onto YouTube and social media.

It seems that the leaker TheGamingRevolution was right about this information as well.

What do you think of the new weapon? Are you already looking forward to going hunting with the crossbow soon?

Fortnite: Find Dwarves at Logjam and Nice View – Locations

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, you should once again search for dwarves. Two tasks will send you across the map – we will show you the locations.

New Overtime Challenges: In the Glibber/Mud challenge and the 8-Ball challenge, the Overtime Challenges require you to find a dwarf each. However, to unlock the sub-challenge, you must complete the previous tasks. The Glibber mission sends you to search with the following instructions:

  • Find the dwarf hidden between the Logjam Lumberyard, a shed, and a bucket tree. 

For the 8-Ball challenge, you need to follow these instructions: 

  • Find the dwarf hidden between the spot “Nice View”, a wooden cabin, and a big house.

If you complete the tasks, you will be one step closer to the new variants of the Battle Pass skins. We have marked the locations of both dwarves for you on the map: 

Fortnite dwarf locations

Dwarf between Logjam Lumberyard, a shed, and a bucket tree

Here you can find the dwarf: To find the Logjam dwarf, you need to travel to the west of the map. It is located on the path between Slurpy Swamp and Holly Hedges. It’s best to start from Slurpy Swamp, then you will find the Logjam Lumberyard near the swamp area.

You should also be able to find the shed and the tree with the buckets quickly. You will then find the Logjam dwarf at a tree in the swamp that is easy to overlook.

Dwarf between the spot “Nice View”, a wooden cabin, and a big house

Here you can find the dwarf: You will find the dwarf near the edge of the map, in the middle of a green meadow below Sweaty Sands. There he stands among yellow flowers and just needs to be picked up.

This second dwarf is also located in the west of the map. If you have already completed the corresponding Battle Pass level and challenges, you can tackle both dwarves in one go. For the Glibber missions, you need to have reached level 50 in the Battle Pass, and for the 8-Ball missions, level 60.

Why the new puzzle in Destiny 2 was urgently needed

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, the Guardians are currently puzzled over a surprise quest. Let me tell you why this is so interesting and enjoyable for many.

What’s happening in Destiny 2 right now? Without much announcement, a secret quest was recently discovered. For about 24 hours now, the Guardians have been working on the task “Exploration of the Corridors of Time”.

Many progress has already been made – however, the puzzle is still not completely solved. I would like to briefly explain to you why such tasks continually fascinate in the world of Destiny.

More on the topic
Destiny 2: Exploration of the Corridors of Time – How the new puzzle works
von Sven Galitzki

This is why players love puzzles

The surprise is important: An important factor in the success of such missions is the element of surprise. Those who took a look at the roadmap during yesterday’s reset will have noticed with boredom that no fresh, seasonal content was being served.

When the first rumors spread that Osiris had a secret quest, many people’s curiosity was piqued. The information spread quickly, and a corresponding Reddit thread gathered almost 8000 upvotes and 1300 comments in no time.

Although pre-announced content also sparks player interest, the feeling of being surprised by the game again is stronger. It connects to the experiences from the early days of Destiny.

Igniting the burning hammer for the first time

Memories of the early days? For many, even today, the first steps in Bungie’s Destiny universe are considered a highlight of looter-shooters. This is partly due to the nostalgic way we view those experiences.

Back then, we had hardly anything comparable. The first exotic with incredible abilities in our hands. Unlocking a new subclass and marveling at the bombastic super. Finding and flattening a huge boss during patrols. All of this was new and exciting.

Today, as veterans, we have experienced much and seen even more. The thrill of the unknown is missing. And this is where surprise quests come into play.

Gladd puzzles Destiny 2
Gladd has a “Niobe Labs feeling”

The sense of belonging is important: Destiny has a large and sometimes loud community. That’s how it should be for a “shared-world shooter.” While players can play many areas of Destiny 2 solo, they are almost never truly alone.

Everywhere you encounter other Guardians. In the Tower, players gather in front of the Postmaster or in patrol zones, while a teammate shoots without an invitation. In almost all activities, the game even automatically seeks your assistance.

Through clans or activities like raids, players are even more closely bonded together. Personally, I also often log in just to help a buddy or just to “shoot aliens in the face together.”

raid closure destiny 2
Celebrating together after a raid

However, the community comes closest together during the hardest activities. In addition to the first completion of a raid, the puzzles of the secret missions also count. The big streamers and Destiny personalities cannot solve Bungie’s incredibly difficult tasks alone.

Entire armies of helpful Guardians stand at the forefront. They tirelessly contribute to the solution in small efforts. The thread from Raidsecrets revolves around the solution of the current quest with 8500 upvotes and more than 4000 comments. The feeling of contributing to solving the seemingly impossible task fascinates many users.

The hype around the current task benefits from the fact that every Guardian can try it for themselves. The mission is accessible to all, and rewards are already waiting. Besides lore entries, you can also earn a sleek emblem, for example.

This shows: I was there.

Savior of the Past emblem

This is how players were surprised in the past

Surprise in the summer lull: In the summer of 2018, Destiny 2 was quiet. The content powder was spent. The Guardians prepared for the fact that nothing would happen until fall (Forsaken). But a surprise woke the players from their “summer sleep”.

Odd anomalies were discovered that led to a cool and extremely challenging mission. In the end, the exotic The Whisper of the Worm awaited the Guardians. But that wasn’t all. The mission had more secrets to uncover and puzzles to solve.

Whisper-Of-the-Worm-Destiny

More cult missions: The mission surrounding the exotic Imperfection Rifle “Perfected Outbreak” also saw success a year later for similar reasons. Even in Destiny 1, the puzzles surrounding those weapons created unforgettable moments.

The new “Exploration of the Corridors of Time” could also achieve such a status. It doesn’t matter what reward awaits us at the end. The mere fact that Destiny 2 can still surprise me is worth a lot.

What do you think, can Destiny still surprise you? Do the challenging puzzles bring players closer together? Let us know in the comments.

Pokémon GO: Empoleon learns Hydro Cannon on Community Day – How strong will it be?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

On the Community Day in January with Piplup, the exclusive move will once again be Hydro Cannon. This will allow Empoleon to learn this powerful Water-type move in Pokémon GO.

This is the move: On every Community Day, there is also an exclusive move that a Pokémon can learn. In January 2020, during the Community Day with Piplup, it will be Empoleon that can learn the move Hydro Cannon.

This was not surprising, as all Water starters have been able to learn this powerful move so far. We will show you whether Empoleon is worth it with this move.

Empoleon with Hydro Cannon – How good will it be

Is the move worth it? Hydro Cannon is a significant improvement for Empoleon. It will make it a noticeably better Water attacker.

However, it still does not play a role among the best attackers. Kyogre, Kingler, and Swampert will still perform better. After that, however, comes Empoleon.

Should you secure an Empoleon? An Empoleon with Hydro Cannon is definitely a strong Pokémon. However, if you already have a team consisting of the best attackers, you don’t necessarily need to level one up. As a strong alternative, it is certainly good.

How to get the move? For that, you have to evolve your Piplup on Community Day, which is this Sunday, between 11 AM and 4 PM. During these 5 hours, the move is available, after which it will not be. You also cannot learn the move through TMs.

What else is there on Community Day? This time, everything revolves around the Water starter Piplup. You can also catch this Pokémon as Shiny.

As a reward, reduced egg distance and three-hour lure modules await you.

Borderlands 3: Mini-Event “Farm Fever” starts and delivers a lot of loot

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Are you looking for legendary weapons in Borderlands 3? The mini-event “Farm Fever” has everything you need to rake in loads of loot.

When does the event start? Gearbox announced on the official website that the loot event “Farm Fever” will start on Thursday, January 16th. It begins at 6:00 PM CET and will last exactly two weeks until January 30th.

It’s time to farm bosses

What does the “Farm Fever” event bring you?

What’s in the event? The event offers you pretty much everything worth farming, in enhanced form. Farming bosses is a popular activity in Borderlands 3 – now it will be even more rewarding. There will be special loot drops that will bring you extra legendary loot.

This applies to:

  • Repeatable bosses from the story
  • The proving grounds
  • The slaughter circle
  • Maliwan Takedown
  • Rare spawns
  • Hammerlock hunts
  • Opportunity targets
Borderlands 3 weapon rarity loot drop
The event is likely to fill your inventory

In addition to an increased rate of legendary weapons, there will also be additional anointed weapons. Furthermore, rare spawns, such as Wick and Warty, will noticeably appear more often than usual. 

Maliwan Takedown is included: Since the scaled version of Maliwan Takedown was delayed, this variant now coincides with the new loot event. This should please many players.

This not only offers the opportunity to tackle the takedown with a smaller group – it should also yield rewarding loot. Normally, the takedown is only doable in a party of four and at max level. However, in the coming two weeks, the difficulty will adjust to your group size.

MMO Magic: Legends surprisingly announces PC release for 2020

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO-ARPG Magic: Legends is set to be released in 2020, at least for PC. This was announced in the revised version of a press release. We have summarized all the information about the game again.

What is new? We have already reported on the plans for a beta and the release of the Magic MMO. Back then, it was mentioned that a release was scheduled for 2021. As it turns out, this information was not correct.

The developers of Magic: Legends have announced in a revised version of the press release that the PC release is set to take place in 2020. However, the old release timeframe of 2021 still applies for consoles Xbox One and PS4.

A specific release date for the MMO-ARPG has not yet been provided. However, we know that the first beta is scheduled to start in spring. You can register for it on the official website.

Action RPG in the Style of Diablo

What is Magic: Legends? The new MMO takes place in the universe of the card game series Magic: The Gathering and resembles the gameplay of Diablo.

You take on the role of a Planeswalker, a powerful wizard who can jump between various worlds. You have 5 different classes to choose from. The first two classes have already been presented.

From an isometric perspective, you then fight in hack and slash against massive hordes of monsters. The special feature is that there will be no traditional loot. Instead, you will receive cards that you can assemble into a deck before each mission.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXY4iPsovx8&feature=emb_title

Was Magic: Legends not supposed to become an MMORPG? Originally, Magic: Legends was announced as an Action MMORPG. However, we now know that the direction of the game has changed.

The developers consciously opted for an Action RPG format, as summoning many creatures is intended to play an important role. To fit this, the isometric perspective was introduced for better visibility.

You can experience your adventures either alone or with up to 2 other players.

magic legends classes header

What were the first reactions? There was significant criticism after the release of the gameplay trailer for the change in play style. Players had false expectations of the game and were disappointed.

Additionally, there are several exciting new Action RPGs in development, while things look rather bleak for MMORPGs.

Which new hack and slashes are coming, we will reveal to you in this list:

After months of whining, Ninja gets his own skin in Fortnite – Here it is

The mixer streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is getting his own skin in Fortnite. He had requested it months ago and seemed slightly offended that he had to wait so long. But now the time has come and Ninja is putting on a good face for the bad game.

What kind of skin is this? Epic is finally ready and announced the “Icon Series” on January 15, 2020. These are skins of the “Top Creators” of Fortnite.

The first streamer to receive a skin will be Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, the most famous Fortnite streamer. It is a four-part set:

  • The Outfit Ninja
  • The Back Bling “Ninja Blades”
  • The Emote “Ninja Style”
  • And the Pickaxe “Twin Katanas”

Epic has already announced that it will continue afterward. The next skins will go to Australian Twitch streamer Loserfruit and Spanish YouTuber “TheGrefg”.

Have there been such skins before? With the skins, Epic follows the model of “PUBG” which also created skins in cooperation with their biggest streamers.

So far, there have not been such skins officially in Fortnite, but some skins have been “claimed” or attributed to streamers.

In April 2019, the Twitch streamer DrDisrespect declared a skin in Fortnite that looked like him as “his” skin. He announced that he might sue Epic Games – for a lot of money.

In December 2018, the controversial YouTuber Daniel M. “Keemstar” Keem believed Epic wanted to mock him with a garden gnome skin. He was anyway not pleased with Epic Games.

Keemstar saw the skin as a personal attack.

In November 2018, there was a skin in the game that looked like it was made for Twitch streamer “Summit1g“. At that time, Ninja did not find it funny at all that a competitor was to receive a skin before him.

Now Ninja is the first with an official skin in Fortnite, which should reconcile him.

FIFA 20 TOTW 18: This is the new Team of the Week in Ultimate Team

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

EA Sports has just introduced the TOTW 18 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 20. Find out from us which players are included in the new Team of the Week.

This is the Team of the Week: Every week, EA releases the Team of the Week in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. This team includes 23 players who performed well in real football over the past weekend.

In addition to a spot in the TOTW, these players also receive upgraded Inform cards.

This is why the Bundesliga is not included: The Bundesliga is still on winter break, which is why Bundesliga players will not be available until TOTW 19.

They are not included in this Team of the Week.

These are the strongest cards in TOTW 18: The card with the highest overall rating this week goes to Agüero with a strong rating of 91. Moreover, the new TOTW cards of Handanovic (89), Mahrez (88), Bruno Fernandes (87), Azpilicueta (86), and Rashford (85) are decent upgrades.

The new Record-Breaker card for Agüero: In this TOTW, Sergio Agüero receives a Record-Breaker card. He deserves this because he now has the most goals as a foreign player in the Premier League (176).

And compared to his last Inform cards, the following areas have improved the most:

  • Speed: 82 -> 84
  • Passing: 79 -> 81
  • Physical: 75 -> 77

This is the Team of the Week 18

All cards in TOTW 18

TOTW 18 – Starting XI

TOTW 18 – Substitutes

When TOTW 18 will be available: The new Inform cards will be available starting today, January 15 at 7:00 PM, in FUT 20.

On the Transfer Market: If you want to ensure you get a TOTW card, it’s best to use the transfer market. There, you’ll find all special cards. However, be sure to compare prices before you buy and it’s best to wait a few days.

Because usually, new Inform card prices drop after a few days.

Earn coins with the TOTW: If your FIFA coins are tight, you can also use the new Inform cards to earn some coins. Here’s what you need to consider:

Diablo 4 much more brutal than Diablo 3: Enemies will be decapitated, go up in flames

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Diablo 4 will not only be much darker than Diablo 3, but also significantly more brutal. In an interview, the developers revealed how much blood and violence is in the new installment.

This is what Diablo 4 offers: In conversation with the English site GamesRadar, Senior Producer Tiffany Wat revealed how you can attack enemies in the upcoming Diablo 4.

Each of the available classes has its own means and ways to eliminate the enemies in as spectacular a manner as possible:

What people liked about Diablo 3, we still have here. There are hacking and slashing and blood that splatters everywhere […]. Depending on how you kill the monsters, their bodies will fall apart.

If you decapitate an enemy, the head falls off. If you are a sorceress with a fire spell, you can scorch their flesh from their bones. Or you can freeze them and watch them explode into a million pieces.

von Patrick Freese

GamesRadar also reports that they were able to see during a gameplay session how the druid rips enemies apart as if they were just wet paper, or observe reanimated waterlogged corpses dragging their faces through the muck.

Brutal gameplay fits Diablo

Here are the impressions: GamesRadar also had the opportunity for a 20-minute hands-on with Diablo 4 during the interview. There, the testers found heaps of “blood, pus, and other bodily fluids”.

They even saw a small boy who had been cursed. He choked on his own vomit. This illustrates well how dirty Diablo 4 is going to be. The developers confirm this as well.

Executive Producer Allan Adham told the site: “There is no clean victory in Diablo. The world is not your typical clean world where the good guys always win and evil is always defeated.”

Diablo 4 apparently wants to ensure that you feel that too. Bright and colorful colors and rainbows will be consistently kept out as in the third part.

Diablo 3 Rainbow Level
Diablo 3 also had quite colorful, albeit secret levels.

How does Diablo 4 play? Although Diablo 4 sounds increasingly like an MMO with many of its features, it still remains at its roots a Diablo – a particularly brutal one at that.

The core endgame content consists mainly of the hundreds of different dungeons that you can make more difficult for yourself. They are instanced, accessible only to you and your group.

With a total of an hour of gameplay for the classes, it may be easier for you to get an impression of all this.

When can I play it myself?

This is what we know about the release: So far, there is not much information about a beta and a release. All assumptions are based on the years between 2020 and 2022. Only a later release is expected by no one. Everything we know about the release of Diablo 4 can be found here.

While you wait for the release, there are a few ways to pass the time:

Fortnite: Leaked Skins from 11.40 – These new outfits will be in the shop soon

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Patch 11.40 has been released in Fortnite and data miners have found numerous skins that are likely to be released in the game soon.

Which skins are we talking about? In the coming days, numerous new skins will hit the Fortnite shop. Some of them were found in the new update 11.40 and shown by data miners.

The cosmetics are not yet fully implemented in the game and will be added gradually.

These are the skins: A total of 27 new skins or sets were found in the patch. Some skins look quite similar and only differ slightly in color. Two sets do not have proper skins yet, just placeholders as images. So it will be interesting to see what else comes.

A highlight is likely the skin “Oro”, which represents a golden skeleton.

Pokémon GO: These 7 Pokémon from Gen 5 are still missing and are really strong

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO the 2nd wave of the 5th generation is here, bringing many new monsters. However, there are still numerous missing Pokémon from the Unova region. We show you 7 really strong monsters.

This is what the list shows: Here we focus on the best Pokémon of the 5th generation that are not yet in the game. However, we only consider non-legendary monsters here. The legendary ones are released individually, while the other Pokémon are likely to appear in a future wave.

Recently, 17 new Pokémon from the 5th generation were added to the game.

The shown Pokémon are relevant in the PvE meta, meaning for gyms and raids. PvP is not taken into account here.

These are the 7 Pokémon you can look forward to

Place 7 – Caesurio: The Pokémon is of Steel and Dark type and has an interesting typing combination. Its stats are as follows:

  • Attack value: 232
  • Defense value: 176
  • HP value: 163
  • Maximum CP: 2844
Caesurio

Caesurio may not be the best attacker for any type, but it remains a solid alternative. Its typing combination makes it versatile, and its attack value is decent. However, its downside is its fragility. It is likely to be defeated quickly.

Place 6 – Washakwil: The eagle Pokémon not only looks really cool but also has solid stats. It is of Flying and Normal type and has the following values:

  • Attack value: 232
  • Defense value: 152
  • HP value: 225
  • Maximum CP: 3088
Washakwil

For a Flying Pokémon, Washakwil has really good stats. However, it currently learns mostly weak moves. One can hope that Niantic improves it before its release, making it a strong Flying attacker. Otherwise, it remains more of a solid alternative to monsters like Moltres or Corviknight.

Place 5 – Rabigator: The Pokémon of Dark and Ground type is one of the quirkiest Pokémon of the 5th generation. Its stats are quite solid:

  • Attack value: 229
  • Defense value: 158
  • HP value: 216
  • Maximum CP: 3046
Rabigator

Rabigator learns solid movesets for both Dark and Ground types and has a decent attack value. While it doesn’t reach the top attackers of its types, those who want to fight with a stylish alternative should consider using Rabigator.

Place 4 – Somnivora: The Psychic-type Pokémon is the only good defender from the 5th generation. Its stats speak for themselves:

  • Attack value: 183
  • Defense value: 166
  • HP value: 253
  • Maximum CP: 2723
Somnivora

Somnivora has a strong HP value, therefore it is good for gyms. Additionally, it possesses almost every attack that can pose a threat to the classic fighting attackers. As a Pokémon between slacking and Chansey in the gym, it would be a great choice.

Place 3 – Zoroark: The Dark-type Pokémon can be compared to Snivy. It has a strong attack value but can be quickly defeated:

  • Attack value: 250
  • Defense value: 127
  • HP value: 155
  • Maximum CP: 2571
Zoroark

As a Dark attacker, Zoroark becomes really strong but is quite fragile. Pokémon like Darkrai or Dragapult remain better, but Zoroark can be used as a strong alternative.

Place 2 – Flampivian: The Fire-type Pokémon will be a really good attacker of this type. Especially its attack value is convincing:

  • Attack value: 263
  • Defense value: 114
  • HP value: 233
  • Maximum CP: 3105
Flampivian

Flampivian also learns strong Fire moves and has an attack value of 263, higher than all other current Fire attackers. So we will have a strong new Pokémon here.

Place 1 – Ramoth: Even better and usable for 2 types – Ramoth will be the new top attacker of Fire and Bug type:

  • Attack value: 264
  • Defense value: 189
  • HP value: 198
  • Maximum CP: 3632
Ramoth

Ramoth has the best moves of Fire and Bug type and an extremely high attack value. Especially in the Bug type, Ramoth will be by far the best attacker.

Which legendary Pokémon from the 5th generation will be really good, you can find out here:

The new hit on Twitch? Betting on game characters with fictional money

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, there are bets running on the streaming site Twitch.TV for an autobattler from Final Fantasy Tactics. Hundreds of people are constantly in the live stream placing their bets.

What kind of stream is this? The channel of FFTBattleground is automated and designed for viewers to place bets. Your bet is placed on one of the eight teams controlled by the computer. They all compete against each other in single-elimination tournaments in Final Fantasy Tactics. With your bet, you should predict which team will emerge as the winner of the tournament.

How does it work? Each viewer receives 1000G. As a subscriber, you even start with 2000G. A currency of fake money that only works for this stream. If you lose all your money, you fall back on a cushion of 100G or 200G for subscribers.

To start a tournament, you choose a team like Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White, Black, Brown, or Purple and then use the “!bet” command in the chat.

von Alexander Leitsch

The bot or the stream shows you when it’s time to place bets. After the betting time ends, the different teams fight on the map until only one stands. That team then faces the winning team from the last tournament to crown the true winner. After that, everything starts all over again.

FFT Twitch Play FFTBattleground

The entry is not as easy as it seems. You have to first delve into the skills and items to understand which team actually has a chance of victory.

However, the stream proves to be popular. Over 600 people are currently watching at the same time, and there is active participation in the chat. Final Fantasy Tactics seems to have not yet caught on to the possible end of the auto-chess hype. Is another big hit like TwitchPlaysPokémon on the horizon?

Why do people bet? So far, the options for spending G-currency are limited. With the fake money, you can input your name into the game, which might then be used for a unit. This includes gender, class, skills, and more. Skills are purchasable at the beginning of each round. A bot announces the skill drops, which you can take advantage of.

Those who bet successfully earn experience points as well. Every 5 levels, you automatically unlock skills.

Do you like this kind of interactive stream, or are you content just watching well-known figures play?

WoW Classic changes the wrong thing in Alterac Valley, players are mad

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A change to Alterac Valley in WoW Classic is currently making players angry. Blizzard is changing things, but not what is causing the problems.

With the maintenance on 15.01.2020, there was a small hotfix in World of Warcraft Classic that changed a detail in Alterac Valley. This is meant to stop rewarding continuous ganking at the graveyard. However, players are outraged about this change – or rather about Blizzard changing what they consider an insignificant detail, while not addressing the real issues.

What was changed? Those who are resurrected by the spirit healer in Alterac Valley will now receive the “Honorless Target” buff for a few seconds. This ensures that these characters yield no honor for the opposing faction if they are killed again within this time frame. Blizzard states as justification:

We have observed some behaviors in Alterac Valley that can only be described as griefing – a violation of our in-game conduct rules. If this had happened in the original World of Warcraft, we would have considered it a situation that needs to be addressed or even resulted in account penalties. We believe that our approach is now the best solution.

WoW Korraks Revenge Alterac Valley

Why are players angry? In the subreddit, on wowhead, and in the official forums, players are upset. The developers are making the wrong changes and prioritizing obvious trivialities, such as graveyard ganking, much more than they should. They believe that other issues must be addressed that are currently causing massive harm to WoW: Classic and PvP. The frustration in Alterac Valley remains.

Phase 3 might soon distract from the problems – as it is also starting soon.

What problems are players talking about? Currently, it is common across all realms for an Alterac Valley to start with extremely unbalanced forces. Often around 10 Alliance players face 40 Horde players.

The cause is not WoW itself, but the behavior of the players. Many large groups from the Alliance are currently trying to register as a “Premade” raid with 40 people. To succeed, all players log into the queue simultaneously and then communicate via voice chat whether they receive the invite at the same time. If not, the invite is declined, and shortly after, they re-register.

The problem is that the declined players were already slated for the Alterac Valley that is now starting. Only gradually do individual players arrive late in the battlefield, which is already lost.

world-of-warcraft-classic-alteractal

How can the problems be solved? The current problems in Alterac Valley are mainly created by the community itself. Blizzard would need to introduce changes, such as mandatory participation in Alterac Valley after registration. Otherwise, it will be difficult to tackle this problem.

How are you currently experiencing PvP in WoW: Classic? Have you also been in such problem Alterac Valleys?

LoL makes a scorching skin ridiculously cheap to warn about dangerous volcano

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

For Philippine LoL players, the skin “Volcanic Wukong” is now significantly cheaper. The reason for this is a frightening event, as the Taal volcano is apparently about to erupt. The LoL developers want to highlight this with the skin.

What kind of skin is this? League of Legends has a wide range of skins for most of its 148 champions. This is also true for Wukong, the Monkey King. He is available as “Volcanic Wukong” in a red, fiery appearance. From now on and until January 31, 2020, Philippine players can get this skin for only 1 RP. Normally, it would cost 975 RP, which is approximately €7.50.

Most players should find 1 RP on their LoL account. So Riot Games isn’t aiming to make money – the amount is really insignificant.

LoL Volcanic Wukong small

Why is Riot Games doing this? At the beginning of 2020, the Taal Volcano in the Philippines showed activity. The volcano recently spewed ash up to 14 kilometers high, reports CNN.

Since January 12, authorities have already evacuated 25,000 people living in potential range of the volcano. However, some residents remain in their homes despite the possible eruption.

Riot wants to draw attention here and warn people. They started this initiative with the skin.

In social networks, the developers share a graphic on the subject. There they warn about the potential dangers associated with the volcano activity.

LoL Volcano Attention

The people there should protect their skin as much as possible, wear breathing masks to protect their lungs, and secure themselves as well as possible.

Video Games and Natural Events

What else is happening? As DoteSports reports, LoL players asked Riot Games if they would sell the Firefighter Tristana skin and donate the proceeds to combat the Australian bushfires.

Overwatch players wished for skins for Roadhog to help Australia. Blizzard regularly does such initiatives, to help with breast cancer awareness, for example.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you can donate with this skin package to help in Australia.

The shooter Destiny 2 is also planning an initiative to help Australia in the fight against the fires.

CoD MW: Tank driving Juggernaut terrorizes players

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, deliberate gameplay and a firm handling of weapons lead to victory. However, some players take their tactics a bit too far. Check out how a Juggernaut and a Wheelson aim to conquer the meta together.

The latest Call of Duty, a reboot of the “Modern Warfare” series, has been enjoyable for many soldiers for almost three months now.

But over time, there comes a time when a refreshing change is needed, which the changing modes and maps can’t provide every gaming night.

At this point, when CoD MW becomes boring for you, you have three options:

  1. Change the game
  2. Do real-life things
  3. Come up with completely crazy tactics and playstyles

The colleagues in the following video chose option 3. Armed with Wheelson and Juggernaut, the two rampage across the map and terrorize their poor opponents.

Juggernaut on Tour – No Chance to Counter

Sounds nasty! What does that look like? In a video on reddit, the user “ABagOfSmack” shows how he, slightly surprised, suddenly stands in front of this killstreak monster.

Escape seems impossible, so the brave soldier decides to confront it. However, “ABagOfSmack” only manages to fire off more than 2 small bullets before the nasty tank driver blows out his light.

What makes the combo so nasty? The Juggernaut comes with strong armor and can take quite a few hits before the armor gives out. The disadvantage of the combat suit is its slow movement.

With the Wheelson as a vehicle, the Juggernaut not only rolls across the map much faster, but can also make great progress using the mini-gun.

Additionally, the Wheelson itself is a dangerous opponent. As a combo, it’s definitely a twisted and really nasty number. When you see something like this, you want to put the game down for a while, but even when things go poorly, many stay with Modern Warfare.

cod modern warfare action juggernaut

Unlocking is Difficult, Fun is Bigger

How can I try this too? You can’t unlock this killstreak combo that easily, and you need a buddy to drive you around.

  • Tank Driver: Wheelson
    • Unlocked at 7 kills in a row
  • Tank Gunner: Juggernaut
    • Unlocked at 15 kills in a row

On the way to the 15 kills, you also unlock some other killstreaks. With the red perk “Kill Chain”, the kills with these killstreaks also count towards progressing in the other killstreaks. This way, you’re sure to get the 15 kills even without nasty wall glitches.

Have you thought of some nasty tricks too? What trick do you like to surprise your opponents with? Knives are supposed to be really nasty too:
