Head of Baldur’s Gate: “People still do not understand what Stadia will be”

Benedikt Schlotmann 8. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

There is much speculation surrounding Google Stadia regarding release, games, and performance. The head of Larian Studios believes that players cannot yet understand Google Stadia.

The founder and head of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, shared a bit about his major project Baldurs Gate 3 in an interview with GameSpot. He also discussed Google Stadia.

This is Swen Vincke: Swen Vincke is the head of Larian Studios and one of the leading minds behind Baldurs Gate 3. Baldurs Gate 3 is set to release for Google Stadia. When the game will exactly launch is still unknown.

Furthermore, he and his team are working extensively with Google Stadia, so he knows about Stadia.

“Stadia is accessible to everyone” – The advantages of Google Stadia will be visible soon

This is what the head of Larian Studios said: The founder and head of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, said in an interview with GameSpot Video Producer Dave Jewit:

“I don’t believe people currently understand the potential of Stadia. I don’t mean that economically; that’s my own opinion. Because they [people] haven’t seen it, haven’t felt it, but it is something special.”

Vincke admits that it is still difficult for players to grasp what Stadia can really do, as they haven’t seen it in action yet. However, it should truly be special and some features will be revealed in due time.

On the one hand, people are limited by their hardware, and with Google Stadia, all gamers have the same opportunities to play at ultra settings.

This is how Google Stadia works:
Google Stadia loads a lot of game data into the cloud. The player can then stream this data from the cloud to their screen. The advantage is that they are not limited by their hardware, as their own PC does not need to compute the game.
Google Stadia also uses PC hardware but can scale it based on demand.

And on the other hand, he adds: “We have always tried to develop games with fair, low requirements, and [Stadia] solves that problem.”

This is the problem for developers: Games must often be developed in a way that they can run on low settings, according to Vincke. Developers are always bound by the technology in the form of PC and console. However, Google Stadia would solve a significant problem for developers.

This is the advantage for developers: In the data center, multiple devices can be connected simultaneously, creating performance that a single device at home cannot achieve. The data center processes animations and graphics, which can be realized with the help of multiple connected systems in the cloud and can ultimately be streamed to a screen.

Thus, Vincke explains in another interview that developers can display graphics across multiple systems on one screen. Game developers are thus less restricted in game design and can create larger, more impressive worlds.

The performance of the PC or console no longer matters. And that is also the biggest advantage of Google Stadia compared to the hardware at home, as developers are no longer restricted. Load times of games would also no longer be limited by the installed hard drive.

The Football Manager 20 for example (via Techradar) takes advantage of the benefits of Google’s data centers. Unlike traditional PCs and consoles, progress advances faster via Google Stadia. The extensive datasets, including match results from various leagues, are calculated in parallel across multiple nodes in the cloud (simulating multiple computers).

For this reason, Google Stadia is, according to Vincke, much more interesting for developers than the next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft:

“Our biggest problem: Who can join me?” – Stadia makes multiplayer easier

Playing multiplayer, source: Ravalmatic.com

This is why Stadia is important for multiplayer: Vincke emphasizes the possibilities for multiplayer:

“If you have access from anywhere with something like Stadia, then the chance to continue the adventure together increases,” Vincke elaborates on the possibilities of multiplayer. Especially if a game offers many hundred hours of gameplay, it becomes all the more important that all players can join.

No one should be excluded due to poor hardware or long distances.

This is another advantage: A single PC or console struggles to display many players simultaneously without lags. This applies, for example, to battle royale games or MMOs. However, many computers simultaneously can handle the calculations. Vincke said in another interview with wccftech.com:

In the data centers, the devices are connected to each other […]. Something like: Put a few servers together and let them simulate physics that is not possible on local hardware.

Google Stadia thus provides much more power simultaneously. In battle royale or MMOs, much more players would be possible with Google Stadia than before.

Swen Vincke has high hopes for Google Stadia. What are your expectations for Stadia?

The head of Google Stadia has also spoken out and wanted to know the opinion of the users. What future features do you wish for:

Athene was formerly the “best paladin” in WoW – now founded a religion in Germany

Benedict Grothaus 8. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The player Athene became known many years ago for his videos on World of Warcraft and other games. However, for some time now, he has withdrawn from gaming and instead founded a religion.

Who is Athene? Bachir “Athene” Boumaaza is a Belgian streamer and content creator who became famous in 2007 for his videos on World of Warcraft. Back then, his videos largely consisted of trolling and an increased self-presentation as the “best paladin in the world.”

At that time, it was not as common as it is today, and Athene became one of the first “stars” in the young gaming internet.

A big question with Athene has always been how much of what he does is serious and how far he plays a fictional, exaggerated role. In that respect, he resembles the now well-known Twitch streamer DrDisrespect.

Over the years, Athene’s content changed, transitioning from World of Warcraft to Hearthstone, poker, and science to philosophy and charity. He is still largely active in these areas today.

Why we are reporting on Athene now: An hour and a half long exposé video by British journalist Chris Bratt deals with the current events surrounding Athene.

For some time now, Athene has been running a religion based here in Germany, on the Polish border.

This video discusses what the religion is supposed to represent according to Athene, but it also addresses that apparently, there are many problems and issues around Athene.

What’s behind Athene’s “Religion”

What kind of religion is this? In 2015, Athene founded the network “The Singularity Group“, created with the idea of helping and is in the spirit of the “IPower” also founded by Athene. Important pillars are logic and willingness to help.

Athene secured a large house for the network in Forst (Lausitz) in Germany on the Polish border. Here, the volunteer staff lives and keeps the network alive.

They are not paid, but receive food and accommodation.

Registered as a “religion,” according to Athene himself, this helps to avoid complications with payment and taxation.

The network includes projects like “Gaming for Good,” which are supposed to help combat suffering in the world, help children, and generally encourage people to think solution-oriented and make the world a better place.

This is how “Athensism” works: The actual religion behind the Singularity Group is referred to as Neuro-Spinozism or “Athensism.” This is supposed to help members achieve a better life in four steps:

Step 1: Develop unconditional trust in logic
Step 2: Discover what one’s own emotional drive is
Step 3: Realize that life never feels complete or meaningful as long as “experience” is the goal
Step 4: Selflessly “click”

The “clicking” is the core of the religion, around which everything seems to revolve, a kind of enlightenment. It refers to the point in life when one understands what has gone wrong so far and how to do everything better.

The further goals are logical decisions and solution-oriented action. Those who think in problems rather than in solutions are more likely to be part of the problem and not part of the solution.

What does the religion promise? According to the official website of Athensism, there are numerous benefits that one obtains through “clicking.” Examples include:

Addictions (like drugs) are easily overcome, as the status for which they are needed has now been reached.
The urge to eat is reduced, as one has less desire to reward oneself with it.
Social anxieties and depression are said to gradually disappear, which is supposed to improve the ability to find a partner.
All problems are supposed to disappear immediately as one begins to think in solutions instead of problems.

Problems with the Religion

Why “Athensism” could be problematic: For a long time, journalist and reporter Chris Bratt has been filming a documentary about the religion for the YouTube channel People Make Games.

In the hour and a half documentary, he uncovers grievances that the religion apparently suffers from. According to impressions, it is not such a harmonious religious community, but rather a cult. Some major problems include:

Misogyny/Misandry: Athene himself describes women as manipulative and men as their victims.
Hurtful content: Athene claims that depression is self-inflicted. Once one knows that one is depressed and still is, one deserves it. Because depression is tied to how one feels and to one’s experience.
Ban on criticism: Criticism of the group, the ideas or Athene is generally prohibited by confidentiality agreements.

Furthermore, Athene himself makes several promises. The religion is supposed to be “the thing” in the future, and whoever “clicks” will have as much “pussy” as they want. Women would throw themselves at him when he approaches one in a bar and says he has “clicked.” Even at the headquarters, everyone gets as much as they want.

Problems of former members: Bratt spoke for his video with former members of the community, who told him that they wouldn’t wish what they experienced there on anyone.

One of them was even something like Athene’s partner and accused him several times of toxic behavior and emotional abuse (such as insults, humiliation, etc.). However, she returned several times and prohibited Bratt from using her statements because they had originated from emotional confusion.

Bratt himself also attempted an interview via a livestream with Athene, where he was muted for several minutes. It lasts nearly an hour and is visible in the video above.

What do you think of Athene’s development and his religion?

Destiny 2: How easy it is to get 2 exotic weapons from the Black Armory

Irina Moritz 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The drops of the two exclusive exotic weapons in the Black Armory of Destiny 2 used to depend on chance. That has now changed.

Which weapons are involved? The two exclusive weapons from the Black Armory are the Fusion Rifle Jötunn and the Bow Le Monarque. Especially the Jötunn is considered a very powerful weapon, but it is currently bugged, which led to its deactivation in the race for the World First Kill of the new raid from Bungie.

Until now, the weapons only dropped randomly upon completion of a powerful weapon frame from Ada-1 in certain forges of the Black Armory. This means that some unfortunate players have never received these exotics.

With the release of the Shadowkeep expansion, you can now obtain both weapons for sure, although it will take some time.

This is how you now acquire both exotics: Starting with Shadowkeep, the two exotic weapons are now available as quests, and you no longer have to rely on the whims of chance.

Go to the Tower to Ada-1. She will have two exotic quests for you called:

“Giant’s Might” for Jötunn
“Let Fly” for Le Monarque

The quests require you to forge 10 powerful weapon frames for each weapon. Additionally, you need to kill different types of enemies for both:

For Jötunn, you need to take down Vex using fusion rifles
For Le Monarque, it’s the Fallen that you must shoot with bows

It will take a few weeks to forge all the weapon frames, but at least the two exotics are no longer dependent on chance.

Good luck farming!

Pokémon GO: Everything you need to know about the Raid Hour with Mewtwo today

Noah Struthoff 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Tonight, on October 8th, the Raid Hour with Mewtwo starts in Pokémon GO. We provide you with information about the start time, counters, and the Shinies.

When does the event take place? Tonight at 6 PM it begins. Then a Mewtwo will appear at all gyms where no other raid is ongoing. You can battle against Mewtwo for one hour.

It is the make-up hour after the previous event was canceled due to technical problems. So this is for now the last chance to catch Mewtwo in regular raids.

Mewtwo Raid Hour tonight – All Information

What makes the Raid Hour special: After Mewtwo was in regular raids for a week thanks to the Ultra Bonus, it disappeared in September and was replaced by Giratina. Now it returns once for the Raid Hour. Otherwise, you can only encounter Mewtwo in EX-Raids.

So if you want another chance to get 10 or more Mewtwo in a day, make sure to take advantage of the Raid Hour tonight.

How do I counter Mewtwo? The Psychic Pokémon has 3 weaknesses: Ghost, Dark, and Bug. The best counters are Giratina, Gengar, and Mewtwo with Shadow Ball.

You can easily defeat Mewtwo with four players. In a trio, it’s only possible with a very strong team. For the Raid Hour, we recommend a group size of about 6 players.

What attacks does Mewtwo learn? The legendary Pokémon can learn the move Psycho Cut again during the Raid Hour. This attack makes it the best Psychic attacker in the game by far and is extremely powerful.

Some Mewtwo raids also hatch shortly after 6 PM. According to reports from players, these will have the attack Shadow Ball, which is otherwise only available in EX-Raids.

This is the compensation for the downtime

Here’s something for free: Due to the technical problems last time, Niantic is compensating all players with two free raid passes.

You can use up to 4 free passes today. To do this, you need to have saved the pass from yesterday and not completed any other raid before the Raid Hour. Then you’ll have the 2 free and the daily passes from today and yesterday.

How to make the most of such an event? The Raid Hour with Mewtwo is worth it if you maximize your time. Here are some tips:

Have a fixed raid group beforehand and meet a few minutes before 6 PM at a starting point
Your raid route should ideally pass by many gyms that are close together
Once you are in battle, you can keep walking from the gym. So you can catch and fight while walking to the next gym
Don’t have huge raid groups, as they often slow things down. Aim for 6-8 players so that the organization remains manageable.

What should you know about Shiny Mewtwo? In the Raid Hour, you also have a chance for Shiny Mewtwo. The probability is 1 in 19, as usual with legendary Pokémon.

What happens next? Niantic has already announced numerous further raid hours for October. So you still have a lot to do in October.

There are also hints about the return of the Regi trio:

These rings from WoW Patch 8.3 are powerful – but they have major disadvantages

Cortyn 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

New loot in Patch 8.3 of World of Warcraft is causing a stir. These rings are quite powerful, but they can also kill you under certain circumstances.

Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth of World of Warcraft is currently on the PTR and brings a lot of changes. As already seen in Patch 8.1.5, Blizzard seems to be experimenting with special loot that does not only provide positive effects. Some rings from Patch 8.3 are particularly noteworthy as they have an extremely strong passive effect, which also comes with drawbacks.

The data miners from WoWhead have already found these rings in the game data.

Rings provide a hefty bonus: In general, these rings provide a fixed bonus of a solid 2% on damage dealt and healing done while equipped – in addition to the normal values that a ring provides. However, in return, there is a very hindering negative effect, a special corruption. Here are the drawbacks of each ring:

Face of Truth: Occasionally, a ghostly scroll appears that you and all others with this corruption can see. Every second you do not look at the scroll, you take damage. If you take damage 5 times, you will be feared for 6 seconds.
Last Grasp: When you defeat an enemy, you summon a hostile void tentacle that attempts to pull you in with Void Grip.
Masochistic: When you drop below 25% of your health, you taunt all nearby enemies for 5 seconds.
Mesmerizing: Your damage spells and abilities that hit the same target multiple times in a row reduce your movement speed by 5% for 6 seconds, stacking up to 10 times.

Overconfident: When you gain overhealing, you refuse further healing for the next few seconds, up to a maximum of 25% of your maximum health.
Revel in Violence: Your killing blows cause you to revel in violence, rooting you for 6 seconds.
Spontaneous Fury: At periodic intervals, a random enemy is marked, becoming the target of your fury. While the fury lasts, your damage against all other enemies is reduced by 10%.
Thing From Beyond: At periodic intervals, the Thing from the Deep appears and attacks you. Its movement speed increases with corruption.

Are the rings worth it? Of course, the rings are currently just initial ideas on the PTR that may still be adjusted. In general, a bonus of 2% is quite strong, and sometimes even more valuable than some Azerite traits. Whether the drawback outweighs this effect will be a decision each player must make for themselves. For those who do not enjoy keeping track of additional mechanics, the rings are likely unsuitable.

What does Blizzard hope to achieve with this? In recent years, there has been ongoing criticism of Blizzard and WoW that individual items have lost significance. In Classic, for example, when a mage possessed a “Staff of Dominance”, they were proud of it and knew exactly where it came from or what it could do.

In Battle for Azeroth, hardly anyone knows the names of the items they simply carry, as they have become generic. Through the effects on the rings, Blizzard aims to make loot feel more meaningful again while incorporating small gameplay challenges.

You can find all information about Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth in our comprehensive overview.

What do you think about items with such effects? Should there be more items with drawbacks? Does this add variety? Or is it rather annoying and disrupts gameplay?

PlayStation 5 officially announced – PS5 release window known

Schuhmann 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Sony has now officially announced that the PlayStation 5 is coming. A release window is also known: it will be at the end of 2020. Sony raves in the blog post about a new controller with haptic feedback and adjustable triggers.

In a blog post, Sony has now officially announced what the PlayStation 5 is called and when it will be released. The release of the PS5 is set to happen in time for the Christmas season of 2020. This usually means “Between September and November 2020.”

The name “PlayStation 5” is also confirmed. The next-gen console will not bear any other name.

Many details about the PlayStation 5 were already revealed by Sony in April.

The new controller is the centerpiece

The goal of the new PS5 is to immerse players deeper into the games. For this, a new controller with “haptic feedback” is important. Players should dive into the action through the touch of the controller:

The “haptic” feedback gives players the sensation of receiving broader feedback. It feels completely different now to crash a racing car into a wall than to be tackled in a football game. This haptic feedback replaces the rumble technology.
On the other hand, there are now “adaptive triggers” on L2/R2. Developers can set it up so that you get the feeling of actually pulling a bow or accelerating in a car off-road when pressing the buttons.

This contributes to the new gaming-feeling that Sony wants to create with the PlayStation 5.

The magazine Wired, which has seen and held a prototype of the controller, said: The controller looks almost exactly like the PS4 DualShock 4.

Sony says: Until the PlayStation 5 arrives, players still have much to look forward to on the PlayStation 4. This includes Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima.

PS5 offers 4k Blu-ray player, SSD, and better interface

What else does Sony say? In addition to the blog post, there is information from the site Wired. They could speak exclusively with the creators of the PS5, but there weren’t too many questions posed:

The graphics card’s hardware has an acceleration for “Ray Tracing” – this seems to be the statement that people are waiting for, says system architect Mark Cerny.
An important point is still the SSD – but Sony does not reveal how large it will be.
Players should be able to decide what to install in games: It will be possible to install “only” the multiplayer or “only” the single-player part of a game – or to install everything and then delete parts.

Leak says: Destiny 3 will be a launch title for PS5 and new Xbox in 2020

von Sven Galitzki

The PlayStation 5 uses an “Optical Drive” that accommodates 100 GB discs – this can also be used as a 4k Blu-ray player.
The interface should clearly communicate to players: What activities they can currently engage in during multiplayer. Or tell them in single-player: This is what you can do right now and this is the reward for it.
About the AI-supported voice assistant, Sony did not want to comment.

Tester raves about the new controller

What about the controller? Wired was able to test the controller. It is assumed that it will be called “Dualshock 5”, but Sony insists that the controller does not yet have a name.

The tester describes his experience as “incredibly clear and immersive” – when he walked through sand in “Astro Bot Rescue Mission”, it felt slow. When he slid over ice, the quick responses of the sticks actually felt like he was gliding. And in water he could notice the resistance.

The tester was also able to play Gran Turismo Sport on a PS5 dev kit and felt the difference between asphalt and dirt.

The old “rumble feedback” pales in comparison to the new experience.

Leak about Red Dead Redemption 2 PC was right – Came too soon

Schuhmann 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In mid-August, a user on Reddit correctly predicted that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be released for PC and Google Stadia. The release date was also accurate, and that the blockbuster would not initially be available on Steam. An incredible leak, but it was way ahead of its time.

What kind of leak was that? A Reddit user, whose account has since been deleted, predicted on August 11 that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be revealed for PC and Stadia in August. He forecasted August 19 as the announcement date for both versions.

This was his logic:

Since Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to Google Stadia, it makes sense that it would also be released for PC. Rockstar is definitely making a high-resolution version.
As the release date for Stadia, the player mentioned November for launch – for PC either October or also November alongside the release on Google Stadia.

He then explained: The joke would be that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not coming to Steam, but exclusively for the Epic Games Store and the R* Social Club.

The user cited a Rockstar insider as the source and probably his own conclusions.

Leak bursts with a loud pop

So it was: The leak fizzled out when nothing was announced at the Stadia event on August 19.

They didn’t mention Rockstar at all.

It looked as if everything had dissolved into thin air. And it was the umpteenth “leak” about Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC that was totally unfounded.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming for PC and Stadia

So it is now: Rockstar announced last week, on October 4, how it will really be:

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on November 5 for PC.
The game will be available through the Epic Game Store, Greenman Gaming, Humble Store, GameStop, and elsewhere – just not through Steam. It will arrive there in December.
It will be a launch title for Google Stadia in November 2019. There is no specific date yet.

The Reddit user was almost right about everything, at least about the core facts – just the announcement date was 6 weeks too early. Furthermore, Steam is not completely out, but at least in a way that it will hurt them.

WoW changes the auction house drastically: The end of ‘1-item offers’?

Cortyn 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft gives the auction house a complete overhaul. We reveal what changes are set to occur to improve business.

Anyone who deals with the auction house in World of Warcraft a lot – whether as a buyer or seller – has experienced a lot of frustration. The auction house has aged poorly over the years. It is slow, and the flood of “1-item offers” for crafting materials, of which you often need several dozen, significantly dampens the trading experience. Blizzard has recognized this and will give the auction house a complete overhaul with Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth.

What was the problem? The currently active auction house is technically undeveloped and has faced several issues. With the quantity of items and transactions, search queries can take several seconds to up to a minute. That’s time players spend waiting. Once they find their item, it may be the case that the player has to click through many pages, all filled with “1-item auctions.” Those who prefer to buy 100 Anchor herb in a stack do not want to buy 100 individual auctions but rather go straight for the large stack. However, those are usually buried on the last pages.

Offers will be consolidated: In the future, the auction house will automatically consolidate all crafting materials into stacks. These will then be displayed on the right side. For example, if there are 136 auctions for rune cloth at 10 silver each, the auction house will consolidate them into a single item. On the left side, you can then enter how many units you want to buy. This makes it possible to buy only a fraction of a “stack” or acquire multiple individual auctions simultaneously.

As a seller, this is also not a problem: If only a part of the offered items is sold, you will receive the earned gold, and the unsold remainder of the items will be returned by mail.

By the way: Crafting materials will no longer be “biddable.” They will only be available for immediate purchase.

All information about Patch 8.3 can be found in our comprehensive overview.

No reason to undercut: Particularly annoying in World of Warcraft was always that vendors continuously undercut each other with their offers. If an item was worth 10 gold early in the morning, the value dropped to about 5 gold in the evening because so many offers were added. That will soon be a thing of the past.

With Patch 8.3, there is no reason to undercut your competitors anymore. The auction house sells at equal-priced auctions those that were listed last first. So if Player A placed their Anchor herb in the auction house 10 hours ago (and it hasn’t been purchased yet) and Player B placed their Anchor herb 5 minutes ago, Player B will sell their Anchor herb first.

This small change removes any incentive to constantly undercut other players.

Further improvements are planned: In addition, the auction house has more improvements and simplifications. For instance, you can create your own favorites list to quickly find items that you purchase frequently. If desired, the auction house can also be searched specifically for upgrades, meaning any items that would be a clear improvement for the character.

What do you think of this overhaul of the auction house? Is it a good thing for many annoying aspects to disappear? Or is Blizzard ruining trade among players?

How to quickly improve in FIFA 20 – Tips and Tricks

Julian Schröder 8. October 2019 Reading time 6 minutes

About two weeks after the launch of FIFA 20, many players are still struggling with the new gameplay. We show you tips and tricks to quickly improve your skills and win more matches.

EA has changed a lot in the gameplay of FIFA 20, and much requires some adjustment. Especially the new defending needs to be learned first. However, many players are currently also struggling with offense.

Therefore, we have gathered 9 tips and tricks that can help you improve your offense and defense.

1. Play chipped passes

What’s important: In FIFA 20, there is a new way to pass the ball – the new chipped and through passes.

The advantage of these passes is that the ball arrives at your teammate at a half-height. This means you can immediately pass the ball on or volley it towards the goal without having to control it first. This saves precious time!

Moreover, opposing defenders have a hard time intercepting half-height passes, and you can easily bypass sliding opponents with a chipped pass.

Here’s how it works: Executing the new passes couldn’t be easier. Just press the pass button twice quickly, and your pass will be chipped.

There are two variants:

Chipped Pass – Press X/A button twice
Chipped Through Pass – Press Triangle/Y button twice

With the latest update, these have been slightly toned down again. Therefore, the new chipped passes should not replace standard passes, as they can get misdirected more often in tight situations.

2. Throw far with power goal kicks

What’s important: Every FIFA player knows the situation where you take a goal kick without focus and directly throw the ball at the opponent’s feet. This can lead to a really frustrating goal that could easily be avoided.

The solution: Adopt the power goal kick! This makes poor goal kicks a thing of the past.

What’s the advantage? With power goal kicks, it is almost impossible to throw the ball to the opponent. These kicks are much more precise and considerably more powerful than ordinary goal kicks. Even if your target player is quite a distance away, it’s not a problem for the power goal kick.

There is also a power cross that you can use to initiate counterattacks. This delivers the ball far and powerfully to your strikers.

Here’s how it works: Simply target the player and then press the pass button simultaneously with R1/RB.

Power Kick – R1/RB and Pass Button
Power Cross – R1/RB and Cross Button

3. Learn to move the goalkeeper manually

What’s important: This feature was introduced in FIFA 19, and although it is not as strong in FIFA 20, it is still extremely important. Because when you learn to move the goalkeeper correctly in the right situations, it can prevent many goals and hence decide matches.

When should the goalkeeper be moved?

When the opponent is alone on the wing and crosses, you can cleverly intercept the cross with the goalkeeper in the penalty area
On corners: You can intercept these like crosses. Additionally, you can close spaces with the goalkeeper so that the opponent cannot bring the corner into those areas
When the opponent stands alone in front of the goalkeeper, move backward toward the goal and try to anticipate the direction of the shot. Move towards there and close the angle.

In FIFA 20, the goalkeeper finally listens to you – What this means for your game

von Julian Schröder

Here’s how it works: Press the right stick in and move it while pressed. This is how you control the goalkeeper. However, it is not possible to sprint or perform other special movements while doing this.

4. Practice close dribbling

What’s important: The new close dribbling in FIFA 20 offers many advantages. It is easy to execute and can be very helpful in many situations. Because you won’t get as much ball control with any other method in FIFA 20 as you do with close dribbling.

What’s the advantage? You can evade defenders and slip through defensive lines. Close dribbling is also excellent in the penalty area to position yourself for a shot on goal. Furthermore, you can react to any movement of the defender with close dribbling.

Here’s how it works: Take the speed down and control the player with the left stick. Additionally, hold L1/LB to keep the ball close to the player and you can dribble very accurately.

Keep in mind that close dribbling is even better controlled when the executing player has strong dribbling stats.

von Tom Rothstein

5. Switch players with the right stick

What’s important: Many players switch players out of habit using L1/LB. This works quite well. However, often a player is selected that you cannot use effectively. With the right-stick player switch, you can decide for yourself which player you want to control. This has significant advantages, especially in defense.

Here’s how it works: The player switch with the right stick is as simple as it sounds. You switch players with the right stick. Just aim at the desired player, and you will control him.

However, this requires some practice. After a while, you should be able to execute the player switch precisely.

6. Use your body

What’s important: Play with physicality! You can actively use your body, which is useful in both attack and defense. By using your body, you can shield the ball and have more time to plan your next pass. The defender will have no chance to take the ball away.

Moreover, with well-timed physical contact, you can also win the ball. Often, this tackling is not even considered a foul by the referee.

Here’s how it works:

With ball possession: Just hold the L2/LT button, and your player will shield the ball and use his body to defend. You can’t sprint while doing this.
For ball recovery: Use the L2/LT button for tackling. The player will push the opponent and win the ball.

7. This shot is nearly unstoppable

What’s important: Currently, there is one shot that gives goalkeepers significant problems – the curled power shot. This shot comes so quickly and precisely that goalkeepers often struggle to respond.

You should use this shot ideally within the penalty area and with the player’s stronger foot. Then nothing can go wrong.

Here’s how it works: This meta-shot isn’t very complicated. You press R1/RB and charge with the shoot button. Then release R1/RB and the shoot button while holding R1/RB and L1/RB pressed; by doing this, the shot will be low instead of high. Make sure that the angle is slanted.

8. Call and send your teammates

What’s important: This technique has not only been in FIFA 20; many players still do not know about it. Yet it is simple and very effective. You can ensure your teammates offer for the ball or run into free spaces. This is very practical when you have difficulty finding someone to pass to.

Here’s how it works:

Call players – Aim at the desired player and press R1/RB
Send players – Aim at the desired player and press L1/LB

9. Use the powerful pass as a cross

What’s important: In a penalty area situation, a normal or L1 cross can be quickly intercepted by an opposing defender. However, to create an opportunity to effectively deliver to a teammate in the opponent’s penalty area, you can repurpose the powerful pass as a cross.

This pass is so fast and precise that you can use it ideally as a cross in many penalty area situations.

Here’s how it works: Aim at your target and press R1 and the pass button. The striker can ideally convert the ball directly.

AMD has announced the 5500 series – an alternative to the 5700 series and GTX Super?

Benedikt Schlotmann 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

With the 5500 Radeon series, AMD has announced mid-range graphics cards intended to compete with Nvidia’s GTX 1650. Everything about price, release, and performance.

After AMD released the new RX 5700 series in the summer, there is now news about weaker models.

These graphics cards have been announced: The RX 5500 series consists of the Radeon RX 5500M, the RX 5500, and the RX 5500 XT. There will be both desktop and mobile versions.

Who is the 5500 series interesting for?

AMD RX 580 and Nvidia GTX 1650 — Battle in the entry-level segment: The 5500 series from AMD is supposed to compete against these graphics cards

The 5500 series is intended to compete with the RX 480/580 and Nvidia GTX 1650. Therefore, the 5500 series is clearly aimed at the mid-range market and full HD gaming. The 5700 series from AMD and the Super cards from Nvidia are more targeted at gamers who want to play at 1440p.

If you mainly play in the full HD range, it might be worth looking at the 5500 series.

Price and release date of the Radeon RX 5500

It is unknown when the series will be released. AMD has announced the 5500 series only for this quarter. The cards are expected to be released later in the year.

It is also not yet known what the 5500 series from AMD will cost. However, if the 5500 series is to compete with the RX 580, it will likely cost around 200 euros. The RX 480 was priced around 250 euros at launch.

These questions still remain: So far, we do not know what the differences will be between the XT and the standard variants.

Additionally, no custom models have been announced at this time. Custom models often offer better fans and a more pleasant noise level.

Videocards.com speculates that the XT and standard variants differ only in the size of the video memory.

Are you interested in the 5700 series from AMD or Nvidia’s SUPER models? Then check out our article where we present a selection of custom models:

See the traditional armors for Goblins and Worgen in WoW

Cortyn 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

After a long wait, the Heritage Armors for Worgen and Goblins in WoW will soon be available. Check them out here now!

The disappointment of the players was great when patch 8.2.5 of World of Warcraft did not bring the Heritage Armors. However, with patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth, the armor and the corresponding quest lines will finally be added. Game Director Ion Hazzikostas has already introduced the two armors, so we can take a first look at them.

This is the Heritage Armor of the Goblins: Goblins are tinkers with a penchant for explosions, and you can definitely see that in their Heritage Armor. It appears to be a mix of leather and metal to withstand smaller explosions. There’s a small pouch on the belt that contains some tools. Particularly cool are also the TNT on the shoulders and a shoulder rocket, with which one at least gives the impression of being about to bombard their enemies.

The set is complemented by a flight cap, which apparently comes in two versions: You can either wear it with the protection over the eyes or “flip it up” so that it sits on the head. This was similar for the gnomes as well.

You can find more information about patch 8.3 in our extensive overview.

This is the Heritage Armor of the Worgen: Worgen let it be known that they consider themselves to be something better and wear significantly more noble clothing that reminds of nobility. This visually fits perfectly with the look of Gilneas before it was conquered by Sylvanas. Of course, it also comes with a top hat adorned with fine golden decorations.

Especially the small details are chic, for example, one wears a rose on the lapel, and a brooch (or watch?) with the crest of the Worgen of Gilneas hangs from the belt.

How do you get the Heritage Armors? As usual, to obtain the Heritage Armor, you must complete a special quest line. This will be unlocked when you have a level 120 character of the respective race and are revered with the home faction. After a short, but usually very story-heavy quest line, the characters will then unlock the Heritage Armor.

What do you think of the Heritage Armors of the Worgen and Goblins? Do you like the sets? Or is it not your taste at all?

She came, saw and honked – How Untitled Goose Game conquered the internet

Irina Moritz 8. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The new indie game Untitled Goose Game has quickly gained great popularity and has become a meme on the internet.

What is Untitled Goose Game? It is a beautiful morning in a village and you are a terrible goose.

In the small indie game that was released on September 20 for PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch, it revolves around a goose causing chaos with surgical precision in an English village. The game combines the genres of puzzle and stealth.

Throughout the game, you must complete various small tasks on your list. You steal items from the villagers, make them trip and fall on their backs, lock them in garages and phone booths, and generally annoy them thoroughly.

Untitled Goose Game comes from the Australian studio House House, which consists of only 4 people. The quirky title of the game was originally intended as a placeholder, which was later to be replaced by a proper title. However, it stuck.

How has Untitled Goose Game been received? After the reveal trailer for Untitled Goose Game went viral on social media, it became clear that the small indie game would receive a lot of attention after its release.

Gaming media that reviewed the game particularly highlighted the harmless humor and charm of the game. The humor came from the “slapstick” genre, which is actually as old as the world itself. But the fact that you are running around in the game as a goose causing chaos gives the game its own spin.

Our colleagues from GameStar also found that Untitled Goose Game is a highlight among indie games, even though they believe that the game could have been a bit longer.

Here are some ratings:

Destructoid: 8.5/10
IGN: 8/10
Nintendolife: 8/10
Gamepot: 8/10
Metacritic: Switch – 81/100, PC – 78/100
USgamer: 4/5 stars

While the media considered the game a nice and amusing distraction, it exploded in the gaming community and there was a flood of memes.

The goose is everywhere. Also in your favorite games

These jokes are now circulating about Untitled Goose Game: Within a short time after the release of the indie game, fan arts and references to the game appeared on social media and various gaming subreddits.

The large gaming subreddit r/gaming, a collecting place for gaming memes, was flooded with jokes about the goose:

It went so far that the admins decided to change the name to “Untitled Gaming Subreddit” and the banner for a week to join in on the hype of the game.

This trend of renaming also spread to social media, such as Twitter, where “Untitled” accounts sprang up everywhere.

In the subreddit of Magic: The Gathering Arena, players demanded that the sound of the new “Guilded Goose” card be changed from the falcon-like sound to the annoying and unbearable “Honk”, which is a clear reference to Untitled Goose Game.

In other subreddits and on Twitter, numerous fan arts featuring Untitled Goose Game appeared. They often depicted the goose stealing something from the NPCs of their own game. Like for example the keyblade of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Here are some examples of that:

Also popular internet memes were quickly adapted to the goose and released in the graphic style of Untitled Goose Game. For example, the meme with the two women and the cat, which has been shared a lot in recent months.

The goose has not only conquered the gardens of the small village for a short time but also the internet and especially the hearts of the players. And personally, I would love to see a sequel titled “Untitled Geese Game” with a co-op mode.

How to use the Halloween event in Apex Legends: Start, Skins, and new mode

Benedict Grothaus 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Apex Legends has announced the first official Halloween event “Fight or Fright”. This will start soon and brings new skins, an all-new game mode, and the King’s Canyon map back.

What’s in the Halloween event: With “Fight or Fright,” several new features are coming to Apex Legends:

exclusive event challenges with two legendary weapon skins as rewards
exclusive “Shadowfall” mode featuring a night version of King’s Canyon
a total of 24 limited cosmetics
a Lifeline heirloom set
double experience points for the top 5 from October 25 to 28

When does the Halloween event start? “Fight or Fright” starts on October 15. An exact start time has not been announced yet; however, events typically start between 7 and 9 PM. The event ends on November 5.

The Halloween Skins

These are the skins you can get: So far, only the two legendary weapons and three skins for legends have been announced:

a legendary skin for the Alternator in scarecrow style
a legendary skin for the Devotion in vampire style
“Vampire” Crypto (see title image)
“Frankenstein” Gibraltar
“Clown” Caustic

Other cosmetics include badges and music packs. Each skin also receives its own quips that the legend can equip.

How do I get the skins? You can either purchase the skins directly for Apex Coins (real money currency), craft them with crafting materials, or receive them randomly in event Apex Packs:

When bought, they cost
- legendary items 1800 Apex Coins
- epic items 1000 Apex Coins
In crafting, they cost
- legendary items 2400 crafting materials
- epic items 800 crafting materials
Event Apex Packs cost 700 Apex Coins

You cannot get duplicates in the packs. They contain one event item and two non-event items. This is likely a response to the frustration caused during the “Iron Crown” event.

This is how you get the heirlooms: Additionally, there is an heirloom set for Lifeline. You will receive this as a free reward if you collect all 24 cosmetics from the event.

If you fail to obtain the heirloom during the event, you can still randomly obtain it as a bonus in packs like you could with Wraith. However, getting it targeted after the event could be expensive.

This is how the new mode “Shadowfall” works

What is “Shadowfall”? In “Shadowfall,” you play on the old map King’s Canyon, which was replaced by the new map “World’s Edge” in Season 3. However, King’s Canyon is now in a dark night version with creepy decorations.

A match of “Shadowfall” is played solo, but not as a traditional battle royale. You start with 34 other players in a round and engage in combat first. However, if you die, you are not dead but return as a zombie.

The zombies cannot use weapons or abilities but can run fast, climb, and perform a strong melee attack. They also have unlimited respawns.

Once only ten legends are left alive, they must reach an evacuation ship. The zombies must prevent them from reaching it.

Astellia releases a major update with class expansions 10 days after launch

Alexander Leitsch 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Astellia brought a major update to the West today. It included expansions for the classes and new features for the endgame.

What exactly did the new update bring? The new patch for Astellia focused on three things:

Class expansions
The first level of legendary dungeons
Errors in the localization of the German and French versions

This means that you now have some new tasks in the endgame. The class expansions can only be applied once you have reached the maximum level. The same applies to legendary dungeons.

Furthermore, the major point of criticism that there are currently many errors in the German localization has been addressed with the patch. However, we do not yet know if this affects all errors.

When did the update come out? The servers went into maintenance mode this morning, on October 8 at 9:00 AM.

They have been back online since 11:30 AM with the new update.

More on the topic

All 5 classes of Astellia – Which one suits you in the new MMORPG?

von Alexander Leitsch

New abilities and new attributes through higher classes

What changed with the classes? With the new update, higher classes were introduced. This allows each class to focus on a specific playstyle.

As a ranged character, you have three specializations available:

Bounty Hunter
Hawkeye
and Ranger

Each improves different stats and grants you new abilities. As a Ranger, you tend to control enemies and dodge attacks, while as a Hawkeye, you can defeat enemies faster.

How do the higher classes work? After reaching level 50, you can specialize in a so-called higher class and level it through “Star Levels”.

With each specialization, you receive:

Always two new skills
Two specific attributes are always improved
An old skill is upgraded to an Awakened version

Astellia: Guide to Attributes – This is what you should skill

von Alexander Leitsch

Do I have to keep the subclass forever? In Astellia, you are not bound to a subclass forever but can switch. However, you lose the new skills and gained attributes.

A switch is still worthwhile since the Awakened version of the old skill remains. So, if you level all three higher classes, you benefit from a total of 3 Awakened versions and from the bonuses granted by your selected higher class.

Avalon, other legendary dungeons and events

What does Astellia plan for the future? Today’s update brought the first legendary dungeons. However, these are only the first level and more content in this direction is to follow.

Additionally, the PvP area Avalon, which resembles the WvW from Guild Wars 2, is still missing.

For this year, Halloween and Christmas events are also planned, as well as two more Guardian Astels.

What are your experiences with the new MMORPG so far? You can find the impressions of our author here:

Destiny 2: Locations of the Rabbits on the Moon and what to do with them

Irina Moritz 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

On your adventures on the Moon, you will repeatedly encounter small rabbit statues. We will explain to you where to find them and what they are for.

These rabbit statues: If you were wandering on the Moon last week, you have surely stumbled upon the strange little rabbit statues that are hidden everywhere.

While you can interact with the rabbits, in most cases nothing happens. Experienced Guardians who have played the Forsaken expansion will have a guess about what the rabbits are about.

How to interact with the rabbit statues: To properly interact with the rabbit statues, you need the item “Small Rice Cake.” You get it once a week as a drop from random activities on the Moon, such as opening chests.

After receiving the cake, the rabbits will be teleported from their location to the “Trophy Room” at the landing point Sanctuary and displayed there. This way, you can always check how many rabbits you have left.

As a reward for the rice cake, you will receive some Illusory Fragments that you need for the Enchantment Table from Eris Morn to potentially obtain powerful legendary weapons.

The rabbits function similarly to the cats in the Dreaming City. However, it is still unknown what reward there will be when all rabbits have been given a cake. Some Guardians assume that it will also be an emblem this time.

Here you can find the statues: The locations of all rabbit statues can be found in the following video:

Streamer is banned from Twitch – YouTube recruits him, he is number 1 there

Schuhmann 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer Matthew “dellor” Vaughan was banned on Twitch for pulling a keyboard over his head. He then stated that he was depressed and expressed thoughts of suicide. Now he streamed on YouTube and was very successful there. In the meantime, he was the number one on the platform.

Who is dellor and why was he banned on Twitch? The former Overwatch professional dellor (31) is known for his strong shooter skills and lack of impulse control.

The shooter skills have often brought him great successes and big opportunities, which he then lost because he couldn’t control himself:

In 2017, he was kicked out of his Overwatch professional team for making racist remarks
In April 2019, he lost his partner status on Twitch and thereby all money-generating subscriptions. He received a ban for making sexist remarks: He told a female player in Apex Legends to make him a sandwich
In July, he fought to get subscriptions back on Twitch – and was successful: On October 1, he was supposed to get them back if he can hold it together by then
But on October 1, just when he was about to get subscriptions again, he was banned “indefinitely” from Twitch for breaking a keyboard over his head – which is considered “self-harm”. This is prohibited by Twitch’s rules.

dellor expresses suicidal thoughts, YouTube offers help

This happened after the ban: dellor felt the ban was unjustified. He said he constantly breaks keyboards on his head. Everyone knows that. It’s his trademark. He buys cheap keyboards just for that.

However, the ban for “self-harm” affected him deeply. Dellor said he has been depressed for months and expressed himself in a way that sounded like suicidal thoughts.

The 31-year-old then sought medical treatment.

https://twitter.com/Fwiz/status/1179122462086184960

This was how the gaming head of YouTube offered his help to dellor.

Before that, the head of YouTube Gaming had offered him to talk about his career. That seemed to be a clear attempt to lure him onto YouTube Gaming.

This is what happened now: Apparently, dellor accepted this offer from YouTube and was live on YouTube for the first time.

There he had much more success than before on Twitch. At its peak, 20,000 people watched him and he was number one on the website.

Mother says: “You are a star”

This made him so happy that he screamed.

Previously, when he had 15,000 viewers, his mother called him in the stream (via neatclip). He told his mother how many were currently watching and that one shouldn’t worry too much.

His mother assured him that he was a star and that people loved him. It was Twitch’s fault for letting him go.

The new WoW raid in patch 8.3 will be huge, has 12 bosses

Cortyn 8. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the next raid of World of Warcraft, a lot is happening. We will tell you which 12 bosses are lurking in Ny’alotha.

For several hours now, the PTR for World of Warcraft Patch 8.3 is playable. The update “Visions of N’zoth” also includes a new raid that leads players into the dark depths of Ny’alotha, the Sleeping City, and the Heart of the Black Empire. Although the raid is not yet available, much information has already been extracted from the game files. We will tell you which bosses you will have to face.

Small Spoiler Warning: If you do not want to know which enemies appear in the new raid of Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth, you should not read further.

12 Bosses await in Ny’alotha

With a total of 12 bosses, the Ny’alotha raid is one of the larger ones of its kind. The various descriptions from the adventure guide have already been read out, giving us an idea of which bosses can be defeated. Here are the bosses you will encounter:

Wrathion, the Black Emperor: Furorion is the son of Deathwing and ultimately could not withstand N’Zoth’s corruption.
Maut: An obsidian statue endowed with the power of the Old God that has devoured numerous prophets.

The Prophet Skitra: Skitra is one of N’Zoth’s top prophets and is capable of manipulating the minds of his victims until they can no longer distinguish reality from truth.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: When creatures succeed in resisting N’Zoth’s whispers, they come to Xanesh. He tortures the minds of his victims until they succumb to madness. Currently, he is torturing Queen Azshara.
The Hivemind: Two of N’Zoth’s generals who control many minions. They each try to seize complete control, causing the minions to adjust their strategies.

Shad’har the Insatiable: A corruption created by N’Zoth that devours everything. He consumes disgusting sludge that keeps him alive but simultaneously causes repulsive mutations.
Drest’agaht: This servant of N’Zoth has slept long in the Black Empire and is now breaking through the crust of Azeroth to spread her corruption.
Vexiona: Vexiona is a leader of the Twilight Dragons who lures fallen souls by promising they will be reborn in N’Zoth’s will.
Ra-den the Despoiled: Once this titanic guardian was imprisoned in the Throne of Thunder, but now he is free and completely under N’Zoth’s control.

The avatar of N’Zoth. Source: wowhead

Il’gynoth, Corruption Reborn: After Il’gynoth was defeated in the Emerald Nightmare, he returned to Ny’alotha. Here he has merged with N’Zoth’s surroundings and spreads like a tumor.
Carapace of N’Zoth: Looking like a gigantic mountain made of flesh, eyes, and tentacles, the body of N’Zoth represents the core and heart of the Black Empire.
N’Zoth, the Corruptor: The true form of N’Zoth and the actual fight against the Old God. He is the final enemy in this raid.

Will all these bosses die? The game data does not reveal whether all the bosses you fight will actually be defeated. It is quite possible that some characters survive, such as Furorion in the first fight or Azshara, who is currently being tormented by the Inquisitor. Whether these important characters actually die will likely be revealed in a few days or weeks.

All info about Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth can be found in our overview.

Are you already looking forward to the new raid? Are you eager to explore the “Sleeping City” Ny’alotha? Or does the raid leave you cold?

Destiny 2: Since the switch to Steam, players are totally going crazy with their names

Andreas Bertits 8. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

With the switch to Steam, players of the loot shooter Destiny 2 can now give their Guardians new names. This leads to some quite curious outcomes.

Why do players change their names? When Destiny 2 was still played via Battle.net, the character’s name was tied to the account name. Now, since the loot shooter can be played via Steam, that’s different. You can now choose the name you like.

Guardians with Curious Names

What names do players choose? Since everyone is now free to give their Guardian any name, this has some quite curious effects. Players show creativity in naming their heroes.

For example, you might encounter characters with the following names:

BIGWORM, Biggest of Worms
TMNT – In Theatres Sept. 1
NPC
6 Pc. Chicken Nuggets 1.79
I hate this game
Goblin Jesus is near
Menstrual cycle is near A Nightmare manifests
Snack that smiles back

On Twitter, a collection of the most curious Guardian names has been opened.

There are even players who figured out how to incorporate symbols into their names. On this page, you might find the symbols and possibly use them yourself.

Players are Creative

Is this something new? No. Players have always been creative in finding names. You also encounter types in other online games who simply make a game of giving their characters the silliest names. Name reservations are therefore always useful so that you can name your character as you wish.

Silly names may not be particularly atmospheric, but they are simply part of an MMO gaming experience.

What do you think of silly names? Do you like it when players get creative with naming, or should one stick to certain guidelines to ensure that the atmosphere of a game is not harmed by strange names? Do you maybe use such a name in Destiny 2 or another game? Let us know in the comments.
