What is the current status of the MMORPG Torchlight Frontiers, which was supposed to be released in 2019?

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Torchlight Frontiers was originally supposed to be released in 2019. This date now seems more than unlikely, as the game is still in alpha. We have taken a look at the current state.

Update January 28: Torchlight Frontiers is now being released as Torchlight 3 and will no longer be an MMO. This means the project is significantly smaller than originally planned, but it is expected to be released this summer on Steam.

What is Torchlight Frontiers? Torchlight Frontiers is the third part of the Torchlight series, but it is supposed to differ from the previous two games.

While Torchlight 1 and 2 were classic hack ‘n’ slash games, Frontiers focuses more on MMO content:

The action RPG uses a persistent, shared world where hundreds of players can interact with each other. Frontiers will only be playable online.
You can level your character, and the areas are assigned to specific levels (the starting area is designed for levels 1-6).
There will be housing. You will be able to build forts where you can craft, and which can be visited by other players.
The game world is also expected to continuously evolve after release, as the team will develop more content.

Despite this, Torchlight Frontiers retains some content from the original series. It will still be played from an isometric perspective, and masses of enemies will be taken out in hack ‘n’ slash fashion.

What will Torchlight Frontiers cost? There are also differences in monetization: While Torchlight 1 and 2 were full-price titles, Frontiers will be free to play. Instead, the developers will focus on microtransactions in the form of:

Cosmetic content
Convenience content
Temporary boosts that can be shared with the group

There are also early discussions about whether the boosts might be considered pay-to-win. However, the developers have stated that the buffs are not necessary to find the best loot.

von Andreas Bertits

Frontiers will be released when it is ready

What is the current status of Torchlight Frontiers? Even though the official website and also the preview on Google still show the year 2019 for the release, it is extremely unlikely that Frontiers will be released in the next 6 weeks.

This was also confirmed by Max Schaefer, founder of the developer Echtra Games, in an interview with segmentnext:

2019 was a rough estimate. As you may know, we are better at making games than estimating release dates, but in the end, the game will be released when it is ready.
Shigeru Miyamoto [developer at Nintendo] once said: “A delayed game is only delayed until it is released. A bad game is bad forever.”

What is currently happening in Torchlight Frontiers? The action MMORPG is currently in a closed live alpha, for which one can register and might be selected.

However, the game is making some progress:

Update 7 on July 15 brought new features for companions and revised the relics. Additionally, new features were added for character creation.
In Update 8, which was released on August 20, new difficulties were added and many quality of life changes were made.
Update 9, which was added to the game on September 13, introduced bounty boards with new quests and general missions that allow you to earn fort decorations, crafting materials, and new companions.
Furthermore, since our interview earlier this year, the third of the expected four classes has been introduced: The Rail Fighter.

The entire development can be tracked as a roadmap in a Trello board. There, it is precisely listed what is currently being worked on and what the long-term goals are.

Is there an NDA on the alpha? Even though Torchlight Frontiers is still in alpha, it is currently not under any NDA (non-disclosure agreement). Therefore, it can also be followed on YouTube or in live streams.

Longtime fans of the series are already getting creative. Player Papi has developed a skill calculator for Torchlight Frontiers. Anyone who wants to get an overview of the classes without access to the alpha can do so with this tool.

Have you already had a chance to test Torchlight Frontiers? What is your impression and are you excited for the new part of the series?

Destiny 2: Halloween event ends soon – But there is still a surprise

Philipp Hansen 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, the Festival of the Lost 2019 ends next Tuesday. Bungie announced that Eva Levante still has one last trick up her sleeve. Players are now speculating about what that could be.

About this event: The Festival of the Lost is essentially Destiny’s Halloween. The Guardians mourn the Lost and everything is spooky decorated.

But not everything is sad. As is customary for Halloween, players can collect candy and dress up in spooky masks. Along with the festival, some activities like the Haunted Forest and the new dungeon have made their way into Destiny 2.

The event is almost over; with the reset on November 19, the haunting will come to an end for now. But according to Bungie, there should still be one last surprise waiting for the Guardians.

There is still a surprise: In the yesterday’s community letter (TWAB), the Destiny developer announced that players have a few more days to collect candy. You have until Tuesday to complete your collection of masks or Eververse items and to get the auto rifle Braytech Werewolf.

In addition, Eva Levante is said to have another trick up her sleeve to surprise us. Bungie was mysterious about this. They do not want to reveal the ‘trick.’ Players must uncover the mystery themselves.

A Last Trick

The Guardians are guessing: The Destiny community loves to speculate. Thus, the lively speculation and guessing about Eva’s surprise quickly began. We want to share some theories with you:

Some Guardians hope for a previously hidden exo-quest. Last year, the Festival of the Lost featured the exotic machine gun Thunderlord. However, we consider the chances of that rather slim.
Some players argued that the surprise was probably just the hidden spider triumph. Guardians can unlock this since Tuesday.

I think it was just the spider triumph.
Lividmin o taur via Reddit

Other theories focus on a dozen masked ghosts. Under the stairs in the Tower Bazaar – where robot Benedict used to be found – Guardians encounter a strange sight.

Squeezing past some boards and cobwebs, a handful of eerie figures await the player in a rather calm manner. Could this eerie procession have something to do with the last Halloween surprise?

What do you think – can Bungie surprise us this year with one last Halloween fright? Or is the energy no longer sufficient for that?

The new star of LoL had already ended his career – But his wife saw things differently

Schuhmann 15. November 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The player Kim “Doinb” Tae-sang (22) won the LoL Worlds 2019 with his team. He had announced his retirement as a professional player in League of Legends a year earlier. But his wife Li “Umi” Youzi was able to change his mind.

This is how Doinb’s career went up to 2018:

Doinb made a name for himself as a streamer and strong solo player in South Korea
Then in 2015 he hopefully started a professional career in China – Many teams wanted him, as ESPN says, but he consciously went to the second league to learn “from the ground up” there
He made a name for himself as a strong player and successful professional – But he was often viewed strangely due to his unconventional style in LoL because he didn’t stay in the mid lane but always roamed
Additionally, an internal dispute, in which Doinb was involved, caused a scandal and tarnished his reputation in April 2016

Self-doubt and health issues

Where was Doinb a year ago? The mid laner announced his retirement in October 2018. He had already finished his career as a LoL professional. In September 2018, he had declared himself inactive with his team “Rogue Warrior”.

He cited health reasons for his retirement. Doinb simply didn’t want to continue anymore, as he told ESPN in an interview. He felt he hadn’t achieved anything significant in his career. The mid laner doubted himself, and his body didn’t feel good anymore.

Although some organizations wanted to sign him, Doinb told his team he didn’t want to be traded anymore. He was now planning a career as a streamer.

But a year later, everything turned out differently than planned. In December 2018, the Chinese team FunPlus Phoenix suddenly announced that they had signed Doinb as their new mid laner.

2019 will be the year of Doinb in LoL

This is where Doinb stands now: The move to FunPlus Phoenix was not a retirement home. The team restructured around Doinb and signed players who fit the quirky playing style of the “Super Carry”.

Doinb played an extremely strong season with FunPlus Phoenix:

They won the league 13-2,
Then became champions in the playoffs against RNG with star player Uzi
And they have now won the LoL World Championship 2019 – in the final they were so overwhelmingly superior that ADC Lwx didn’t die a single time, a new record

The Worlds are the crown of League of Legends. One cannot win more in LoL.

Doinb was undoubtedly one of the stars of the tournament. With his unusual, roaming play style from the mid lane, he shaped the LoL Worlds 2019.

This is how Doinb almost single-handedly won the quarter-finals against Fnatic. With aggressive champions like Ryze, he achieved fantastic kill rates in the matches.

In the final against G2 Esports, however, he played a different role with “tanky” champions like Nautilus or Galio and was able to continuously set up his teammates.

It was exactly this “strange champion pool” and roaming play style, for which he was often criticized, that now made Doinb the star of the LoL Worlds 2019.

LoL-Nautilus — Doinb on Nautilus set up many kills.

Doinb’s wife becomes the secret star of the LoL Worlds

What role does his wife play? Doinb is married to Li “Umi” Youzi. She also comes from the eSports scene. Umi was previously a caster for the popular online game “Dungeon Fighter Online” in China.

Doinb proposed to her at a FunPlus Phoenix event.

Umi caught the eyes of the fans repeatedly during the LoL World Championship and became a star herself at the World Championship. She was always by her husband’s side in the halls of Europe and often one of the few who supported the Chinese among a sea of cheering EU fans.

Doinb particularly thanks his wife (via dexerto). He says:

Before this year, I had thought about quitting, but she told me to believe in myself and to give it one last try. I couldn’t have won this trophy without her.

At the same time, he also apologizes to his wife (via inven): Even when the team takes breaks, he doesn’t go home. And when he does go home, he plays ranked all the time.

At the moment, Doinb is thinking again about ending his career. Let’s see what his wife says about it.

How the professional players react to the new big Overwatch patch

Cortyn 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming patch for Overwatch is being hotly debated. Not everyone is pleased with the changes to the heroes, especially among the professionals who have mixed opinions.

The upcoming patch for Overwatch is likely to be one of the most important balance patches in the history of the game. It not only alters the barriers of numerous tanks and reduces their values but also changes the calculation for armor and its damage reduction. However, even among professionals and major streamers, the changes are controversial and are being passionately discussed.

Armor as the new problem: Each point of armor now reduces the damage taken by 5 points instead of just 3. This not only buffs characters with an armor value massively but also makes Brigitte significantly stronger as a healer. Her healing provides armor, allowing fragile characters to become quite resilient heroes. Former professional Seagull (Brandon Larned) critically notes this:

Shields are now a piece of cake for many heroes: A few more details are very interesting. For example, Roadhog can now destroy Orisa’s protective barrier with 4 shots – provided he stands right in front of this barrier. Thus, he doesn’t even need a full magazine and can breach the protection in no time.

https://twitter.com/PharaohOW/status/1194778467524628489

Orisa faces criticism despite nerf: Although Orisa’s barrier has been significantly weakened, there is criticism of the tank-omnics. The issue here is the Defensive Protocol, which reduces Orisa’s damage taken by 50% for a few seconds and makes her immune to knockback effects and stuns. The cooldown of this ability has been reduced from 12 seconds to 10.

With the interplay of the Defensive Protocol and armor, Orisa has become even more powerful and, according to professional Samito, has an effective HP pool of 800. He hopes that Orisa’s damage reduction will be toned down.

Link to the Twitter content

What is the general sentiment? Overall, the patch seems to be received positively by the community. The weakening of the shields has been long requested and should help Overwatch achieve a “healthier” gameplay where players are not permanently huddled behind shields. The accompanying changes to the tanks are welcomed – except for Orisa’s change. Despite the weakened barrier, she is now considered too strong.

Whether the patch will have the desired effects in the next season of Overwatch remains to be seen. At least the changes are likely to disrupt the current meta and lead to shorter, more intense battles.

What do you think of the upcoming patch?

The 1st new game from Epic after Fortnite is out – What is Battle Breakers like?

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games has released a new game called Battle Breakers. It is an RPG that is available for PC, Android, and iOS.

What is Battle Breakers? Battle Breakers is the first game that Epic Games has launched since the release of Fortnite in July 2017. According to their own statement, the RPG was developed by a small team at the studio.

Battle Breakers is a turn-based RPG where you destroy crystals to uncover hidden treasures or enemies. Battle Breakers features over 1,000 dungeons and a whole lot of tough opponents to conquer.

Inspired by Pokémon, you can collect hundreds of elemental heroes who will fight alongside you in the dungeons. Battle Breakers embraces a “Saturday morning cartoon vibe,” both visually and in the trailer:

Is Battle Breakers Free2Play? The new RPG is essentially free to play. You can download and play it on PC via the Epic Launcher, on Android smartphones via the Epic Games App, or on iOS via the App Store.

It is financed through a battle pass and a “Hero Store,” where new heroes can be unlocked.

Players have mixed reactions to new Epic game

What do the first players say? While the trailer was positively received by many, the reactions to the actual game are rather mixed.

YouTube user Celestial Grimace writes under the trailer:

The theme sounds like Power Rangers, and I am 100% on board with that. However, I am very disappointed with the actual gameplay and Epic’s preferred monetization model.

Other users on YouTube react similarly:

SSEEAALL: “Fantastic trailer, then comes the gameplay. A classic mobile game, feels bad.”
Inkymation: “The theme is the best part of the game, unfortunately. 2/10. Very boring. Even though the art style is beautiful, it is confusing and pay-to-win. The quality is low compared to Fortnite.”

In the App Store, however, the game currently has 13 reviews, all giving the game 5 stars. The good gameplay and the sense of reward are positively highlighted.

At first glance, it seems that Battle Breakers will not be infringing on the throne of Fortnite, which is currently hosting a special Star Wars event.

Survival MMO Rend actually looked good – Now it is as good as dead

Benedict Grothaus 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The survival MMO Rend had big plans and ambitions. However, hardly anyone plays it on Steam anymore. What is going on with the game?

This is the current state of Rend: For some time now, Rend has hardly any players on Steam. According to Steamcharts , only 23 people have played Rend simultaneously in the last 24 hours at peak.

On average, only 7.1 people were online (as of November 15 at 11 AM).

Rend has been struggling for a while, as we reported back in March. After a long early access phase, Rend was officially released in March 2019. But the release apparently did not help.

The reviews on Steam are still “mixed” with 56% positive, but even the positive reviews already warn new players that the servers are dead and nobody is playing anymore:

It was an interesting concept and a somewhat new approach in the survival genre, but now the servers are dead and the real goal of the game is nearly unattainable. If only they would come back, fix the bugs, and keep the servers up, that would be cool.
Ooglesnuff on Steam

The Goals of Rend

This is what Rend aimed for: Rend is based on many players playing simultaneously. There are three factions in which players come together and fight against the other factions for victory. Victors are rewarded with powerful items.

The focus is on PvP, but it is also important to build together with your faction at the shared base to repel enemies. Artifact weapons and sieges were meant to be major features.

The beautiful game world of Rend is based on Norse mythology and there is plenty of space for many players. These many players are also needed to really play the sandbox game – however, they are missing.

Survival MMO Rend – slowly left to die?

The developers remain silent: Since the launch in March 2019, there have been no updates from the developers Frostkeep. Neither on Steam, nor on the official website have there been any news or announcements about the game since March. They do not intend to bring new content anymore either.

Players have also noticed that the developers have completely withdrawn:

Beautiful game, but the developers have given up.
Ciomegu on Steam

The official Twitter account of Rend has also only been retweeting the tweets from Frostkeep since then. The developers seem to be working on a completely new project (via MassivelyOP). The music of Rend was only recently nominated for “best video game music”:

What does the future hold? Since nothing has happened since March, it is unlikely that anything will happen in the near future. Some fans even hope that Frostkeep hands over Rend to another studio to take care of it.

The idea of Rend is unique and the game is really good, as you can read in detail in our first impression test. If the developers respond or other developers take over, Rend still has potential.

It even used to belong to our best survival games:

GTA Online: You can earn a lot of money with bunker sales – But only for a short time

Eilyn Rapp 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The bonus week in GTA 5 Online provides you with many discounts and a lot of money. We show you why investing in a bunker business is worth it now.

Why is there more money? A new bonus week has started in GTA Online. For you, this means that there are now at least twice as many money and RP rewards to earn in various in-game activities. At least until next Thursday, November 21. Because then the activities that give you rewards will be reshuffled.

Which bonuses are active? This week, there are increased rewards in several areas of the game.

Bunker goods sales bring double value until November 21
In the “King of the Hill” mode you can also earn double the amount of GTA dollars
In certain Survival series you earn double GTA dollars
The MOC missions bring double value this week until November 21

Why investing in bunkers is worth it now

Here’s why these investments are worth it now: This week, you have several discounts and benefits related to the bunker. There are the following advantages:

Bunker upgrades: 40% cheaper
Bunker supplies: 25% cheaper
Bunker research: 50% faster
Bunker missions: double rewards

This way you can buy goods cheaper and sell them faster. Additionally, bunker research progresses faster. For bunker missions, you even receive double the amount of GTA dollars.

The method of buying bunker supplies is particularly convenient. Players like it because the supplies are delivered, and they don’t have to pick them up themselves. This week should especially please them, as it’s even cheaper to order the supplies.

Buy Doomsday Vehicles now and reenact your own scenarios

Why are these vehicles worth it now? The special thing about the bonus week is mainly the discounts on doomsday vehicles. Those who take advantage now can create their own doomsday scenarios for little money.

If you have better ideas for doomsday missions, you can buy the vehicles and then simply recreate your own doomsday scenario. Especially if you bring along a few friends, it could become a real fun.

The vehicle bonuses are particularly worth it for you now. Because Rockstar activated a discount on:

Imponte Deluxo, 25%
TM-02 Khanjali, 35%
HVY Barrage, 35%
Chernobog, 35%
Nightshark, 35%
HVY APC, 35%
BF Dune FAV, 35%
Bravado Half Track, 35%

Technical Aqua, 35%
Insurgent, 35%

Why is the game still worthwhile now?

The podium car has changed: Alongside new money bonuses, the car that spins on the podium of the casino has also changed. Now you can find the Ocelot Stromberg there:

So now spin the lucky wheel diligently and challenge your personal luck to receive the Stromberg as a gift.

Players have already suspected that there is a trick to definitely get the podium car in GTA Online.

Current discounts in GTA Online

Where can you save now? As mentioned earlier, there are some discounts around the doomsday vehicles. Additionally, there are the following offers:

Mobile operations center: 40% off
MOC renovations: 40% off

Twitch streamer becomes the “most hated man” in WoW Classic

Schuhmann 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Daniel “Jokerd” Gobey has become the villain of WoW Classic overnight. He took an item in a raid. The community on reddit made him feel their wrath. Following buckets of hate, there was extensive mockery after the streamer was kicked out of his guild.

This is what the player did: The player Jokerd took the item Staff of Dominance in the raid Molten Core. He “ninja’d” the item, as they say.

Ninja looting is not possible in modern WoW – but it is in the “old WoW Classic”. It regularly upsets people there.

Jokerd acted against the explicit agreement with the raid group and simply took an item that he was not entitled to. Another player should have received the item.

He did this with the clear comment: “What can happen to me? They think I care about my reputation on an American server.”

The attitude came across clearly as “You can’t do anything to me.” He even said, “he can do whatever he wants.” He would be the first to reach level 60 in WoW Classic, hundreds of thousands had watched him, he was not just some “random.”

WoW Celebrity in Focus

This is the problem: If it had been a normal player, people would have been annoyed. Maybe the player’s name would have circulated as “don’t raid with him”, but otherwise it would have more or less faded away.

However, Jokerd is a “WoW celebrity”:

He is a Twitch streamer with 150,000 followers
He was the first to reach level 60 in WoW Classic
and belongs to the guild “Method”, one of the largest and most well-known guilds in WoW

Therefore, his actions had consequences.

Reddit Mutilates Player

Here’s how the community reacted: On reddit a post with over 15,000 upvotes emerged where the incident is discussed. The mood was heated:

People are already angry at Twitch streamers who think they are better
This arrogant behavior “You can’t do anything to me” made people even angrier

More on the topic

WoW Classic: How PvP Players Want to Drive Twitch Streamers Off the Servers

von Andreas Bertits

This was the hate: On reddit, hundreds of WoW players say what an asshole Jokerd is:

He is a “totally broken internet kid”, a “grown loser”, “a guy you want to punch in the face”, “a prick”, “cancer”, a “piece of shit”.

It goes on like this for pages.

One user calls on others to directly contact Method and tell them that Jokerd has broken the rules. Even better would be to contact their sponsors directly.

Mockery After the Kick

This was the mockery: With great satisfaction, the users on reddit noted that the guild Method had kicked the player out a few hours after the incident. Now the mockery followed:

A reddit user said: “Imagine ruining your career for a few pixels.”
A player created a post about the Staff of Dominance as the most expensive item in WoW because it cost the streamer so much.

“You can’t do anything to me” vs. “Internet”

This is what’s behind it: A lot of emotions come together here:

There is a need for “self-purification” where the community wants to punish this ninja-looter by ostracizing a player.
But there is also a lot of pent-up anger against such “people who think they are better”. And the joy of seeing someone “punished”.

A strange example of the community of an online game in full swing, standing against an individual. Although he really did everything to play the role of the super villain here.

It would have only been missing if he had strangled a kitten and canceled Christmas.

Many negative actions help a Twitch streamer. However, Jokerd has lost about 1000 followers on Twitch in the last 3 days (via socialblade) – he has become more prominent through the incident, but not in a good way.

Pokémon GO: Here’s why Terrakion raids will be worth it for you

Noah Struthoff 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, Terrakion will soon be available in level 5 raids. The Pokémon will be extremely useful, which is why you should participate in many raids.

When is Terrakion coming? The legendary Pokémon will replace Cobalion. It will disappear on November 26 at 10:00 PM and directly make way for Terrakion. Terrakion will then stay for almost a month, until December 17.

Terrakion is a Fighting and Rock type and very useful. We will tell you how strong it will be.

Terrakion as an Attacker – What can it do?

This is where Terrakion excels: The best usage for Terrakion is as a Rock attacker. It learns really good moves and competes with the top attackers.

While it doesn’t deal as much damage as Rampardos, it is significantly sturdier in battle. It can withstand about the same amount of damage as Tyranitar but deals significantly more damage per second.

You may not have the best attacker with Terrakion, but if you want to save some potions while still dealing a lot of damage, you have found the right Pokémon in Terrakion.

How is it as a Fighting Attacker? Although Terrakion is also a Fighting type, it cannot really shine here. While it has a higher attack value of 260 compared to Machamp, it simply has the wrong moves. It does not learn any Fighting-type fast moves. If this changes in the future, then Terrakion could also become a strong Fighting attacker.

Here Terrakion is particularly useful: If you like to battle against the Rocket bosses, you can look forward to using Terrakion. Arlo always uses a Scyther as his first Pokémon, which Terrakion is ideally suited against.

It takes relatively little damage from Scyther (unlike Tyranitar) and is also very sturdy in battle.

It is also very useful against Rocket Pokémon like Dragonite or Zubat.

Are many raids worth it? Definitely! Another advantage is that Terrakion can be easily defeated by just 3 players. So you don’t need large groups to take down Terrakion.

Therefore, do as many raids as possible to catch good specimens. The raids are definitely more worth it than currently with Cobalion.

Regigigas is now also in EX-Raids, but it won’t last long:

This is how Destiny 2 wants to help the Guardian who went into the raid 102 times and always had bad luck

Sven Galitzki 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

102 completions in the raid “Scourge of the Past”, yet the raid exotic is still eluding a Guardian currently in Destiny 2. But Bungie aims to change that. We will show you how.

What’s with the bad luck? The Redditor HomewardBone expressed his frustration about the randomness factor in raids on the discussion platform. He has had terrible luck so far.

He has been chasing the raid exotic in the “Scourge of the Past” raid from the Black Armory DLC for a long time. But after now 102 completions, he is still without it. The exotic just won’t drop. And that definitely shouldn’t be the case, according to HomewardBone in his post.

He has received a lot of support for this. In just over 13 hours, the thread garnered more than 4,100 upvotes and in the over 500 comments, many people agree with him or share similar experiences.

This exotic is about: The reason why HomewardBone keeps subjecting himself to the Black Armory raid is the exotic grenade launcher “Anarchy”. And it is not only good for the collection but also very popular among many Guardians.

The special thing about Anarchy is that the launcher fires sticky mines instead of grenades. These stick to surfaces or enemies and deal damage over time. When multiple are fired, they link together and create a damage area (or line). All enemies caught in or between them take damage.

Especially in boss fights, Anarchy is very popular. You fire two grenades, they chain together and deal damage over time to the boss. While doing this, you switch to another weapon and continue shooting. This way, you can deal substantial damage with multiple weapons simultaneously.

That should change: Surprisingly, community manager dmg04 spoke up in the thread and addressed the concerns of the desperate Guardian.

There was good news for all who still want to earn the exotic grenade launcher Anarchy.

In an upcoming update, the drop chance for Anarchy is set to be increased. As was previously the case with the One Thousand Voices from the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”, the chance for Anarchy will then be at 10%.

Furthermore, dmg also addressed the frequently expressed wish of many Guardians for some sort of random protection (RNG Protection). This is to prevent players from having to wait too long for specific items. With each raid clear without the item, the chance for it will, for instance, increase with every additional run that is not rewarded with the raid exotic.

The community manager mentioned that Bungie has already heard some such stories and that he will forward the feedback to the appropriate development team. However, he cannot promise the introduction of RNG protection for the existing raids.

When is this change coming? dmg04 did not mention a specific date for the buff of the drop rate. However, it seems likely that the update planned for the new Season 9 will arrive. There, adjustments to the sandbox, bug fixes, and “Quality of Life” changes are expected to come to the game.

The One-Eyed Mask, as well as the Recluse, will also be nerfed in this context, while the exotic SMG Xenophage will be buffed. The increase in drop rates would fit in well with that.

Have you also had similar experiences with randomness in raids? What do you think of this change? Is 10% enough for a specific weapon? Or should Bungie further increase the drop rate or even extend it to other raid exotics like the Tarrabah SMG from the Last Wish? By the way, here’s what awaits you in Season 8:

CoD Modern Warfare: Much criticism of matchmaking, but developers do not want to talk about it

Maik Schneider 15. November 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there have been many complaints lately, but no topic seems to excite the community as much as matchmaking. And the problem is self-made, as Infinity Ward simply won’t talk about it.

How are matches created? Creating online matches is a science in itself and must consider many factors. In addition to a reasonable connection, factors such as skill, game progress, or region often play a role.

These parameters can play a role:

Server region
Connection quality
Skills
Game progress
Mode selection
Map selection
Contact list
Settings
Private servers
Technical requirements

All these factors must be brought together to ultimately create a decent lobby. This is often not that easy, and players frequently complain about poorly assembled lobbies.

The topic is also heavily discussed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but only by the players. The developers don’t say a word about it.

Skill-based matchmaking in Modern Warfare?

How does matchmaking work in Modern Warfare? Due to the lack of feedback from the developers, it is not easy to say.

However, many players assume a skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system, and there are already research efforts by players that back this up with data.

Reddit has the answer

Is there evidence for SBMM? The Redditor “OrtusPhoenix” has collected data from a total of 100 matchmakings and comes to a clear conclusion. He used two different accounts with initially the following values:

His main account
- KD: 2.41
- Points per minute: 233
A fun account
- KD: 0.38
- Points per minute: 140

The accounts are well suited to explore a skill-based lobby creation. Since it is not possible to check the skills of opponents, “OrtusPhoenix” takes the indirect route through the time of matchmaking.

He measured the time it took for the game to start the match. To account for the changing number of players overall, he swapped accounts after every 5 matches.

Matches that had already started and lobbies where a player dropped out before the match started did not count.

The evidence supports it!

What do the results say? With the results of nearly 100 games, there is a pretty clear statement: There is skill-based matchmaking in Modern Warfare:

Main account
- about 46 seconds until match start
- 11 games started without a full lobby
Secondary account
- about 28.5 seconds until match start
- No game started without a full lobby

According to the data, there is SBMM, and it is even strong enough to start matches with not fully filled lobbies. This would currently be a bigger issue for many players, than the 725 that simply cannot be brought under control.

The community feels poorly informed

And the community is not okay with this? The CoD soldiers wish for matchmaking based on connection. However, for many players, it would also be acceptable if the developers would at least talk about it, like they do about their plans and updates.

Link to the Reddit content

The thread with a meme requesting the developers to please talk with the community has generated a lot of feedback.

Among the countless comments, the reasons can also be found as to why players wish for a connection-oriented game setup.

[…] It is simply annoying when I have to play a round with an extremely high ping again due to SBMM. It is miserable!
gaelliso24 on reddit (translated)

This ensures a good game connection for those who also have a reasonable connection. gaelliso24 complains on reddit about the partly high pings that would not occur otherwise.

It’s not about crushing noobs for me. I hate SBMM because I am fully challenged in every game – it is simply exhausting!
Without SBMM, you can dominate and sometimes you get dominated, but in the end it somehow balances out.
The connection should take priority over skill in game setup.
GOpencyprep24 on reddit (translated)

However, difficulty also plays a role. With SBMM, each game is a tough challenge and must be played with full concentration to have a chance at that high level.

Developers don’t want to address this at all

Why won’t the developers address this? Currently, one can only speculate, but it seems that the developers are serious about it.

Yesterday, on November 14th, David Vonderhaar, co-responsible for the previous CoD: Black Ops 4, tweeted a few things about the matchmaking of CoD, which have already been deleted again.

In the post, Vonderhaar mentions that CoD developers struggle with the same discussions every year and assures players that the matches are created based on connections.

However, the fact that the post and some others were deleted again raises doubts. On one hand regarding the matchmaking and on the other hand concerning the communication strategy of those responsible.

What do you think, how are matches created? And why doesn’t Infinity Ward want to talk about it?

The start of Season 19 in Diablo 3 is just a week away – Date, Rewards, Theme

Noah Struthoff 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

We now know when Season 19 in Diablo 3 starts. Blizzard has now announced the start date and the theme of Season 19: It kicks off on November 22.

When does Season 19 in Diablo 3 start? The season will begin on November 22, so you will have to wait another week until the 19th season finally starts.

How long will Season 19 last? There is no exact date for that yet. However, you can expect it to last about 3 months. Season 18 lasted roughly that long too.

There has already been a significant update for Season 19.

Haedrig’s Gift in Season 19

This is what the gift looks like: If you are diligent, you will receive gifts upon completing certain seasonal objectives. These contain set pieces that form a complete set upon fulfilling all requirements.

Depending on the class, there are different sets. Season 19 includes the following sets:

Barbarian – Wrath of the Wastes
Crusader – Roland’s Legacy
Demon Hunter – Unholy Essence
Monk – Raiment of a Thousand Storms
Necromancer – Rathma’s Bones
Witch Doctor – Helltooth Harness
Wizard – Tal Rasha’s Elements

These cosmetic rewards await you

These are the rewards: If you missed previous seasons, you have another chance for cosmetic rewards from Season 7 in Season 19.

Additionally, there are also two completely new rewards so that veteran players can earn something new as well. They are:

Frame of Valor
The Companion Heavenly Goblin

This seasonal theme awaits you in Season 19

Look forward to this theme: Season 19 is the Season of the Eternal Conflict. Corresponding to the theme, there will also be rewards for consecutively slain enemies. The stacking effect this season is Pandemonium.

This effect increases your damage bonus and movement speed. You can achieve +50% movement speed and +100% damage at a maximum of 1000 stacks.

The team responsible for balancing Diablo 3 has been significantly reduced:

Fortnite launches event with Star Wars – Here’s how to get the new skin “Stormtrooper”

Eilyn Rapp 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, a new crossover with Star Wars and the new game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order has started today. We will show you what this crossover has brought to the game and how you can buy the cool skin associated with it.

What kind of event is this? Fortnite and Star Wars have launched a crossover. This was announced with a trailer from Epic Games. There is a skin that can be purchased, and a “Star Destroyer” has appeared in the sky.

This is the trailer for the event:

You can see 2 Stormtroopers from Star Wars looking at a Star Destroyer in the sky. Afterwards, you see some skins from Fortnite preparing for battle. Will this be a battle between the worlds of Fortnite and Star Wars?

Here’s how to get the “Stormtrooper Skin”

What kind of skin is this? The Stormtrooper is known from the Star Wars movies, where they fight alongside Darth Vader for the Imperium. Now, there is also a skin for the Stormtrooper in Fortnite that you can purchase.

How can you get the skin? There are 2 different ways to get the Stormtrooper.

The first option: You can buy the skin in Fortnite’s item shop for 1500 V-Bucks. The process is exactly the same as with the other skins that can be purchased in the shop. You simply top up your V-Bucks balance and can then get the skin directly.

The second option: This option might be especially worthwhile for fans of Star Wars. If you were going to buy the game, Jedi: Fallen Order anyway, it’s even more beneficial. If you purchase the Star Wars game in the Epic Store, you will receive a free code for the Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite.

This is what the Stormtrooper skin looks like:

Epic Games promotes its store

Why are they doing this? It’s noticeable that Fortnite is frequently doing crossovers with new major game titles. Recently it was with Borderlands 3: This even had its own zone in the game:

Epic is clearly using this to promote its own “Epic Games Store”, which they want to establish as a competitor to Steam.
Such deals are attractive for companies because they reach a new audience through Fortnite, especially young players.

What do you think of this crossover? Will you buy the Stormtrooper?

The largest shooter in Asia is coming to us – Here is how it looks in the new trailer

Schuhmann 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In South Korea, “Crossfire” is what we have as Counter-Strike: Simply the biggest multiplayer shooter in the country for a decade. Now, Crossfire X is coming to Xbox One. The Western release is planned for 2020. A trailer shows what we can expect from the free-to-play shooter.

What is Crossfire? Crossfire is an incredibly successful first-person shooter in Asia. It is “the thing” in PC cafes. It has been running in South Korea since 2007, in China since 2008, and regularly earns enough money to appear in the “Top 10” of the most lucrative PC game titles worldwide:

Crossfire is said to have generated $10.8 billion by 2018.
It is said to have 660 million players. (Via businesswire): This would make Crossfire the largest game in the world.

The game is a phenomenon in Korea, even though it hardly matters here in the West. Smilegate wanted to bring Crossfire to the West in 2016, but it didn’t go so well. They closed the Berlin office after just one year. From a Western perspective, the title doesn’t look fresh anymore.

Now Smilegate is trying again, with a new title based on Crossfire: Crossfire X. And they have found a strong partner in Microsoft. They presented Crossfire X at E3 2019.

Microsoft is apparently launching a small initiative in search of exclusive titles to bring big Asian titles to the West. Phantasy Star Online 2, a hit from Japan, will also be ported.

The Essentials of Crossfire X at a Glance

What Crossfire X will be: The new title will:

Release for Xbox One in 2020
Also be free-to-play
Require Xbox Live Gold to play online.
Crossfire X will obviously be financed through microtransactions.
Developed by original developer Smilegate, together with Xbox Game Studios and Remedy (Quantum Break, Max Payne)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNZyNNCmO-c&feature=emb_title

Trailer Shows the New Free-to-Play Shooter

This is what the trailer shows: We see military action in a southern European-looking city. There is also “DMX – X Gon’ Give It to Ya”, a rap hit from 2002 that also served as the song for the film “Deadpool”.

The game reminds us of titles like Counter-Strike.

The trailer features two factions, “Global Risk” and “Black List”: One group is supposed to consist of veterans fighting for order, while the others are mercenaries fighting for freedom.

This is what Smilegate says: They say that with Crossfire X, they will bring an “intense gameplay experience” for all types of first-person fans with a somewhat unique and innovative game mode.

After 10 years of success, it is the right time to attempt this now.

Crossfire X was presented again at X019 – the title was officially announced at E3 2019.

Rust is a brutal hit on Steam – Is it finally coming to PS4, Xbox One?

Alexander Leitsch 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The survival game Rust was released in 2013 for PC and has been highly popular since then. In July 2019, the game set a new personal record. Now it is also set to be released for consoles PS4 and Xbox One.

What is Rust? Rust is a classic survival game where you start naked and armed only with a stone. The goal is to survive in a dangerous world. You will encounter wild animals, radioactivity, and other players who want to harm you.

To survive, you need to eat and drink, can build a shelter, and equip yourself with new tools.

Rust has developed well over the years. The game now also offers power generation through wind and solar energy. This can be used for lights, doors, but also for automatic traps and defense systems.

When will Rust be released for consoles? Until now, you could only play Rust on PC. This is set to change, as the developer Facepunch Studios has announced.

A release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is planned for 2020. No further information on the scope and whether there will be crossplay is available yet.

In conjunction with the announcement for consoles, a new trailer has been released:

Rust sets a new player record in July

How successful is Rust? Rust has been in the top 10 on Steam for about a year now. This was also due to the balloon update at the end of 2018, which was very well received by players.

In July 2019, the survival game set a new record. On average, 62,260 players played Rust, with a peak of 93,595 at the same time. One reason for this may have been the mounts that were introduced in June.

As a result, Rust also made it to the 1st place of the most successful MMOs on Steam in August 2019. Currently, this position, however, belongs to the shooter Destiny 2, which was released on Steam in October.

Rust has an extremely good rating on Steam. Out of 172,000 reviews, more than 80% are positive. The game left early access in February 2018 and currently costs €29.99 on the platform.

For those who don’t want to wait until the release of Rust on consoles, you can also find other survival games in our list:

Microsoft brings MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV to the Xbox – But on which?

Irina Moritz 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

At the recent X019 Inside Xbox conference, Phil Spencer promised that the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will be available on Xbox.

What did Spencer say? During a press conference before the event, the head of Microsoft’s Xbox division emphasized that the MMORPG FFXIV will be coming to Xbox.

[…] You can be sure that we will bring the game [FFXIV] to Xbox. We have a very good relationship with Yoshida-san and are looking at what it means to bring a cross-platform MMO to Xbox that has been running for years.
Phil Spencer

The director of FFXIV, Naoki Yoshida, has been negotiating with Microsoft for years to bring his MMORPG to Xbox platforms. According to him, the one big condition for a port was unrestricted cross-play.

Now it seems that Spencer and Yoshida have found a way to meet these conditions.

For which Xbox will it be released? While Spencer clearly states that Final Fantasy XIV is coming to Xbox, he does not explicitly say which Xbox console he means. He also did not mention an approximate release timeframe for the MMORPG on his console.

This could theoretically mean both the current Xbox One as well as the new Xbox “Project Scarlett”. It could also possibly mean both, as FFXIV has previously released between two console generations.

At that time, the PS3 version was shut down about 4 years after the original release of “A Realm Reborn” in 2017. It is therefore quite possible that a similar scenario could happen with Xbox One and the next Xbox.

This would also fit with Yoshida’s general mindset. He emphasizes time and again that he wants to bring FFXIV to as many platforms as possible.

What do you think? For which Xbox console will FFXIV be released? Are you excited for the port? Let us know in the comments!

Pokémon GO: Regigigas is only briefly in EX Raids – Make use of the time

Noah Struthoff 15. November 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The EX-Raids in Pokémon GO now include the legendary Pokémon Regigigas. It has been revealed how long you can encounter this monster there.

This is how long Regigigas will be available: Pokémon insider Serebii shared this interesting info. He says that Regigigas will only be available until January 7, 2020.

You only have about 2 months to secure an EX-Raid pass and encounter the colossal Pokémon.

Regigigas in EX-Raids – What you need to know

This is interesting about the times: After Mewtwo was available in the EX-Raids for only a few weeks, now there is also only Regigigas for not even 2 months.

Niantic seems to significantly reduce the times for EX-Raid Pokémon here. After previously having Mewtwo and Deoxys for a year each in the EX-Raids, the durations have now decreased significantly.

What does this mean for the players? If you do not have a Regigigas from the paid special research, you need to act quickly this winter. You only have a few pass distributions to secure your invitation for Regigigas.

How do you get an EX-Raid invitation? You must first complete a normal raid at an EX-Raid Arena. If several other players have raided at this arena alongside you, an EX-Raid will be triggered there.

However, you can only participate in this EX-Raid by invitation. So if you have raided beforehand, you will receive an invitation.

Are Regigigas raids worth it? Much more than the Pokédex entry is not needed for Regigigas. Although it is a Pokémon with strong stats, its Normal type and weak attacks do not help here.

You can find a detailed analysis of Regigigas and its usability here:

Dead by Daylight: Missions are damn hard – and it will get worse

Cortyn 15. November 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Dead by Daylight there have been challenges for a few weeks now – but they are extremely difficult. Many players in the community think this is not well designed.

For just over two weeks now, the Archives feature has been active in Dead by Daylight. Here, players can unlock background information and cinematics, as well as earn cosmetic items and bloodpoints. This is done through various challenges. After the challenges at level 1 were quite solid, level 2 has now been unlocked – and they are sometimes so difficult that many players are in despair. But it gets worse.

What is the problem? To make progress in the respective “Tome” of Dead by Daylight, you must complete specific tasks. The first tasks are still quite simple, such as:

Rescue 2 survivors safely from hooks in a match.
Sacrifice a survivor during the Endgame Collapse.
Search 3 chests in a single match.

But on level 2 it gets more difficult. There are some requirements such as:

Repair 3 generators fully in a match.
Blind the killer 2 times in a match.
Catch 4 survivors in bear traps within a match.

Some of the requirements are extremely difficult. Fully repairing three generators alone means that the rest of the team – the other 3 survivors – can only complete 2 generators together in the match. You must be lucky enough to be able to work on generators in peace the whole time and have teammates who do not like to work on generators.

Have you seen the teaser for the next killer?

Level 4 will be even harder: A few players were able to see the challenges for level 4 already due to a bug, meaning the tasks from the past weeks. These are an entirely different caliber and seem to be hardly achievable through normal gameplay. A few examples?

Blind the killer while he carries a survivor, 2 times in a match.
Fully repair 4 generators in a single match.
Search 4 chests in a single match.
Rescue three survivors in a match after the Endgame Collapse has started.
Sacrifice 4 survivors in the basement in a match.

Many of these challenges are almost impossible to achieve through normal gameplay. The task with the chests can only be solved through special offerings, as only 2-3 chests appear on each map by default. You must increase the number of chests through offerings. If multiple survivors pursue this task simultaneously, it is impossible. The other challenges are of similar difficulty and will likely be completed by very few players.

How are players reacting? Since the difficulty of the challenges has become widely known, memes and a lot of criticism have flooded the Dead by Daylight subreddit. Players hope that the developers will fine-tune the challenges and make them easier or at least remove the requirement to complete them in a single match.

The new challenges are crazy. from r/deadbydaylight

The biggest point of criticism is that the challenges are an important part of unlocking all cosmetics in the Rift. This can only be done within a specific time frame. Although you can unlock everything without the challenges, it takes an extremely long time.

How do you perceive the difficulty level of the challenges? Are they good and appropriate? Or way too hard?

Next patch for CoD Modern Warfare is coming – This is what changes with the new update

Maik Schneider 15. November 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare continue to maintain a high speed with the patches and have already announced the focus areas of the next update.

How is Modern Warfare doing? The first weeks of CoD: Modern Warfare were quite turbulent.

After a good start, more and more annoying small and large problems emerged, and the weapon balancing is particularly in the spotlight.

However, the developers are staying on it and have already announced content for the next patch on Twitter.

Tanks and Killfeed targeted in the next patch

What has been announced? A few focus areas of the next update are already known. David Mickner, one of the multiplayer designers at Infinity Ward, wrote about the packed killfeed.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

The killfeed displays kills from the match on the player’s screen. Because, for example, savior or revenge kills are also displayed in the feed, there’s always a lot happening. This feed will be made clearer.

https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1194881815292440577

Additionally, tanks in the large mode “Ground War” are set to be nerfed. Currently, tanks have neither a tank nor ammunition limit and are too suitable for camping at certain spots.

725 remains on the kill list

What else is being worked on? Infinity Ward apparently wants to maintain a high speed for patches and is working diligently on bugs and balancing.

The shotgun 725 is still in focus here, as it apparently became even stronger after the last update.

Additionally, the bug with the Officer Rank challenges, which can lead to a crash loop, is at the top of the developers’ list.

Regarding the invincible knife warriors currently causing chaos in the lobbies, no official statement has been found yet.

What do you think about the newly planned changes? A step in the right direction again or is there something urgent missing for you?

Borderlands 3 – First DLC: It looks like we’re going to meet Handsome Jack again soon

The first DLC for Borderlands 3 has been announced. An old acquaintance is making a return, as the teaser shows a giant Handsome Jack.

Good it’s been two months since the release of Borderlands 3. Aside from a Halloween event, there hasn’t been much to do in the shooter, but that will likely change soon. A teaser has hinted at the first major story DLC, and we’ll encounter old acquaintances.

What does the teaser show? In the short clip, we first see a statue and then a large hologram of Handsome Jack, with many yellow buildings in the background, which is typical for Hyperion. Moxxi’s voice speaks and asks, “Ready to bring down the house?” In German, this would be roughly “Ready to rock the house?”

What does this mean? Those who played Borderlands 2 might recognize the familiar setting of Opportunity in the trailer. That was the city that Hyperion founded under the leadership of Handsome Jack. In Borderlands 2, there were many missions there, such as bringing down statues of Jack, killing his doubles, and sabotaging Hyperion in other ways. We don’t yet know how the city has fared since then.

Is it really Handsome Jack? Just because a hologram of Handsome Jack is shown, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Jack appears in “living” form. However, it is possible that he shows up as a digital representation of himself. After all, Handsome Jack existed in this form in “Tales from the Borderlands”, and the final decision of the game was whether to destroy or preserve this copy of Handsome Jack.

It is conceivable that Gearbox takes the decision of “preserving” as canon and spins a new story from it.

When will we get more information? We will learn more about the first major DLC of Borderlands 3 on November 20. Then the DLC will be presented and revealed.

Are you looking forward to the new DLC and a reunion with Handsome Jack? Or are you fed up with him?
