Destiny 2: How to unlock the new Vex invasions in the Black Garden

With the new raid, the Vex invasions in Destiny 2 went online as well. However, participation in them is subject to certain conditions. We show you how to unlock the Vex invasions.

What are the Vex offensives? The offensive is a new endgame activity on the Moon and in the Black Garden. It requires:

  • 6 players (has matchmaking)
  • Level 750

During the offensive, you must defeat several waves of Vex and complete other tasks in order to be able to open boxes with new loot from Season 8 at the end.

How do I unlock the offensive? To accept the quest for the Vex offensive, you first need the Season 8 pass “Season of the Undying.” Go to the Tower and visit Ikora Rey.

She will have the quest “The Vex Offensive” for you, where you need to stop the Vex attacks on the Moon. For the quest you must:

  • Kill 100 regular Vex
  • Kill 3 Gate Lords.

There are three zones on the Moon that will be attacked. They are marked on the map by Vex heads and are structured similarly to regular public events.

When an attack begins, a huge Vex portal will appear in the sky above the zone.

destiny 2 vex attacks zones
The zones of Vex attacks are located in the Hellmouth, at the Fireteam’s Line, and at the Anchor of Light.

Fight your way through the attacking Vex and finish off the Gate Lords to complete your quest. After that, the quest will lead you to Eris Morn, who will open the entrance to the garden where the actual invasions take place.

Ikora has no quest for me, what now? If you possess the Season Pass but Ikora does not want to give you a quest, it is best to contact support. Kotaku reports that some players are having issues with the contents of the new Season Pass, so it’s quite likely that you are among the unfortunate ones.

How do the offensives work? The Vex offensives in the Black Garden are self-explanatory. You go in with 5 other players and start the invasion by activating a Vex Plate.

Several waves of Vex enemies will follow, and you need to take down a certain amount of them, which is displayed as a percentage in the upper left corner.

destiny 2 vex offensive oracle
You generally have plenty of time to destroy the oracles, but you shouldn’t dawdle.

During some rounds, multiple oracles will appear that Destiny veterans will recognize from the Glass Chamber raid. Use broken heads from the Vex Minotaurs to destroy these oracles. It is best to split up to quickly destroy all the oracles.

The boss at the end of the invasion has a shield around him, which can also be destroyed with these Vex heads. Once it is broken, you have some time to deal damage to him.

Afterward, he will move to another location in the garden until you finally take him down.

Loot – What drops for you in the Vex invasions and offensives

What rewards are there? For your efforts, you will certainly be able to collect a decent amount of loot:

  • During the invasions on the Moon, you can find Vex armor and weapons from Season 8 as random drops with random stats
  • After each boss phase during the Vex invasion in the garden, a chest with random drops from Season 8 will appear
  • The collected Vex parts can be exchanged at Ikora for “Data Seed” quests. Once you have killed a certain amount of enemies with the corresponding weapon type, you will get the weapon

It is therefore a dynamic and fast activity where you can gather good gear. For more tips and guides on Destiny 2, check out our articles:

Slay Together MMORPG battle

An MMORPG for old-school fans

Who is the MMORPG aimed at? Anyone who enjoys classics like Metin2, Flyff, or Dragonica should feel right at home in Slay Together. Because the name of the game is its program. It’s about going out together, completing quests, and fighting monsters. This way you earn loot and can level up.

How do you play together? It’s a free-to-play game that you can simply download via Steam, create an account, and join in.

How is the title received? The ratings on Steam in the last 30 days are at 69% and “Mixed”. However, the overall rating is at 75% and “Mostly Positive”.

What do the players think? It has been criticized that Slay Together offers very little content. Crafting, dungeons, and generally endgame content are lacking. However, this is entirely normal, as it is an early-access game from a small indie team. Updates keep coming out as well.

Those who are aware that it is an unfinished MMORPG are indeed having fun with it. It is said to play well and smoothly, be entertaining, and simply be fun.

Age of Wushu 2: What we know about the new stylish MMORPG from Asia

We haven’t heard much about Asia MMORPG Age of Wushu 2 for a long time – until now. But what kind of game is it?

What is Age of Wushu 2? The MMORPG from Snail Games has little in common with its predecessor apart from the name and the scenario. Age of Wushu (2012) is a classic martial arts MMORPG.

In Age of Wushu 2, you must survive in an open sandbox world, which is why the new game leans more towards the survival genre.

However, survival here does not mean that you need to search for food or craft equipment. Survival means successfully finding your way.

Ageofwushuscreen

Age of Wushu 2 differs from its predecessor

How does the predecessor play out? Age of Wushu, also known as Age of Wulin in this region, immerses you in ancient China. There, you join one of several martial arts schools, learn martial arts skills, and explore the vast world.

Along the way, you must complete quests and fight against members of rival schools.

What is the difference to part 2? You enjoy much more freedom than in the predecessor. Martial fights are still at the center. However, you are not locked into a predefined path. You must find your own way while trying to balance body and mind.

It is important to build relationships with NPCs. Whether you extort them for protection money or help them with problems. Your clothing plays a role in how NPCs react to you. Social interaction with other players is also very important.

You can build your own houses and even establish your own martial arts school that you manage.

wushuscreen

How do the fights work? You still learn your skills in a martial arts school where you can work your way up to mastery. Physics plays a big role in the fights. Additionally, the elements are important. These include water, fire, earth, wood, and gold. You specialize in one of the elements.

If your element is water, then you train by rivers and lakes, which improves your skills.

Combos are also crucial. Thus, the fights remind a bit of beat ’em ups like Street Fighter. You need to time your attacks and act tactically.

Ranged combat is also important. Some weapons operate similarly to a shooter.

So Age of Wushu 2 plays quite differently than its predecessor.

Age of Wuhsu 2 Fortress

Coming soon – in China

Which engine is being used? The Unreal Engine 4 is being used, which should ensure fantastic visuals.

What about the release? A release date has not yet been announced. It has also been quiet for a long time about the MMORPG.

However, a button has recently appeared on the official Chinese website. Clicking it allows you to register for a test phase.

This likely means that Age of Wushu 2 is making great strides towards release. However, we’ll have to wait a bit longer in this region.

PlayStation 4: Update 7.00 brings new features and one that hardly anyone needs

Sony has announced the new system update 7.00 for the PlayStation 4. This includes an update to existing features, which are being expanded with brand new features.

These features include: On the official blog, Sony has announced changes for the groups feature as well as Remote Play. Major changes include:

  • Doubling of group size
  • official Remote Play for Android devices

Additionally, both the party feature and Remote Play will see several other new enhancements.

When will update 7.00 be released? The announcement was made on October 6th and states that the update will be released “this week.” It is expected to be available by Friday, October 11th.

How large is update 7.00? The size has not yet been revealed.

Larger and better groups on PS4

What changes to the groups feature? The biggest change to the groups feature is the increase of group size from previously eight to now 16 players who can be in a party.

PS4 larger groups update 7

Groups will not only be larger but also better. It is expected that:

  • the network connection will be improved
  • the audio quality will be improved
  • Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text features will be added (US only)

Here’s how the changes will impact: Players can organize larger groups for games and compete together. This is a significant advantage in larger multiplayer titles like shooters, where players must coordinate for victory.

The improved network and audio quality should ensure that you can understand and play with your teammates in groups better. The text feature is particularly interesting for hearing-impaired individuals, but it is not yet available for the EU market. It will output speech input in text form or text as speech.

Remote Play for Android

What changes with Remote Play: Remote Play is now officially available for Android, after PS4 streaming on Android was possible through unofficial programs as early as 2015. Until now, only iOS and Xperia devices were officially supported for Remote Play.

Best survival game on iOS and Android title with smartphones 2

Remote Play allows you to stream games from the PlayStation 4 to smartphones and tablets, enabling you to play PS4 titles on the go. You will need Android 5.0 or higher and the PS4 Remote Play app from the Google Play Store.

Here’s how Remote Play will be further modified: iOS users will have the option to lock the screen orientation for Remote Play and toggle the controller display at any time.

Additionally, DualShock 4 controllers can be connected to Remote Play via Bluetooth. However, you will need iOS 13, iPadOS 13, macOS Catalina (releasing in October), or Android 10.

Currently, Android 10 is not widely used and will likely not be available for many users anytime soon, which is why this feature is often ridiculed by many fans.

A Turk saves his team at the LoL Worlds, despite being down 0:3 – Is he the hero?

The Turkish team from Royal Youth was actually at the end at the LoL Worlds. After 3 consecutive losses in the group stage, things looked bleak. But then the top laner Armut turned it around and sent the Brazilians from Flamengo eSports home. That was the highlight of the World Championships at the League of Legends on day 4.

Here was the situation: Group D in the group stage of the LoL Worlds had a clear favorite and they played just as one would expect.

  • The Koreans from DamwonGaming won all 4 matches in the group stage. They were the best team of the tournament so far and remained the only team undefeated in all 4 groups.
Damwon-Gaming-Burger
Just as DamwonGaming devoured the McDonalds burgers here in Berlin, they also devoured their opponents. Source: Twitter

Everyone knew how strong the Koreans were. From the start, it was only about 2nd place for the other two teams in Group D. That’s enough to advance:

  • The Turkish team, Royal Youth, plays with 2 Turks, 2 South Koreans, and the German Tolerant as support
  • Flamengo eSports has a roster of 4 Brazilians and 3 South Koreans

The first match between Brazil and Turkey was won by the Brazilians. Along with the 2 certain losses against the South Koreans, the Turks found themselves with their backs against the wall in the 4th match.

They had already accumulated 3 losses and the World Championship was nearly over.

Fiora-Neu-Skin
Armut on Fiora brought the first victory.

3 losses in a row – but then 2 wins

This is how the Turks won: As Invenglobal reports, October 5th was a big day for top laner Irfan “Armut” Berk Tükek:

In the first match, he played on Fiora and dominated the match from the top lane. His opponent Leonardo “Robo” Souza had no answer for him.

Armut won the lane and was able to turn the match in their favor. He drew so much attention to himself that Flamengo had to stop him with up to 4 players to prevent him from taking down all their towers and the base.

While most players are at Baron, Armut is terrorizing the enemy’s base.

Because he drew so much attention, the rest of the team had free rein to gain advantages.

Royal Youth won the match, now they stood at 1-3, just like Flamengo. So a tiebreaker was needed.

LoL-Gankplank
Armut on Gankplank was too much for the Brazilians.

Even in the tiebreaker, Armut shone, this time on Gankplank. He had such control over his lane that he could influence the entire map and lead Royal Youth to victory.

The jungler from Flamengo, shrimp, on Nocturne had to constantly deal with keeping Armut in check, yet that was still not enough to fully control him.

Inven honors Armut’s performance and names him player of day 4.

Royal Youth celebrates their victory.

This is how it continues: Today, Royal Youth will compete in the tiebreaker matches. They face the US team Clutch Gaming. Armut will be up against Huni. He plays on the top lane for Clutch Gaming and is likely a bigger fish than his counterpart from Brazil:

  • Whoever wins today’s match will advance to the main round on October 12. There, the favorite teams of the LoL Worlds will compete.
  • Whoever loses today will be eliminated. But Royal Youth knows this situation well from the last 2 matches.

New studio wants to shake up the MMO market – This is their plan

A team consisting of former developers of EVE Online and Max Payne has founded a new studio. It aims to create a cloud-based, social MMO.

Who are the developers? Behind the new studio Mainframe Industries is a team led by Thor Gunnarsson. Gunnarsson was previously the Vice President at CCP Games. He gathered a group of former EVE Online developers and employees from Remedy to develop new MMOs that utilize Cloud Gaming.

EVE Online
Some former developers of EVE Online are working on a new MMO.

An MMO that you can play anywhere

What is the first project? Mainframe Industries sees itself as a developer studio for MMOs. Accordingly, the first project is also an online game.

Thor Gunnarsson is keeping much under wraps for now. However, it is a very ambitious game. The project will utilize cloud technology. This makes it possible for you to play the title on virtually any device. Whether on a PC, a console, a smart TV, or a mobile phone, you simply start the title and get going.

What is special about it? Mainframe wants to encourage players to engage with their MMO through everyday surfing on the internet. To do this, the entry barrier should be as low as possible.

You see an advertisement for the game while surfing, click on it, and you’re off. Whether on PC, via 5G on your phone, a smart TV, or a console.

What kind of game will this be? The developers are being very tight-lipped about details. What is certain is that it will be a sandbox MMO. The social aspect is at the forefront. They plan to develop a AAA game. Furthermore, they want to bring fresh air to the genre with this title. It should be something innovative that also presents many challenges for the players.

The cloud technology is expected to offer larger worlds, physical simulations, better AI, and generally a new gaming experience.

Mainframe Industries Team
The team behind Mainframe Industries.

Will it be like EVE Online?

What can we expect? Given the background of the team, it is likely that the new title could resemble EVE Online. However, whether it will be set in a science fiction scenario or fantasy is currently unclear.

How is the game financed? Mainframe has so far received 2 million euros in funding from investors, including Maki.vc, Play Ventures, Crowberry Capital, and Sisu Game Ventures.

Samuli Syvähuoko from Sisu Game Ventures says: “What motivated me to join this adventure is the team’s passion for pushing the known boundaries for games and going beyond everything we’ve seen so far.”

When can we expect the release? There is currently no date. Development is still in its early stages, so we’ll probably have to wait a few more years.

The Division 2: Servers going down for maintenance – Update responds to player criticism

The Division 2 will go into maintenance on Monday morning at 10:00 AM for four hours to improve the current Explorer Event. During this time, the servers will be down. There have been some complaints from players about the low chances of Event Caches. Massive wants to counter this with an update.

What’s currently happening in the event for The Division 2? Since September 24, the “Explorer Event” has been running on the servers of Division 2. Players receive Event Caches by reaching level-ups or completing projects, which contain special cosmetics.

The current event brings nearly 30 new clothing items into the game and is associated with the Washington Museum from Division 2, coming with a pilot cap and trapper hat.

What’s wrong with the event? There have been a lot of complaints about the low chance of getting Event Caches when reaching Field Proficiency, the Division equivalent of a level-up.

For many players, these level-ups are the main source of the Event Caches.

What is changing now in the event

  • Increased chance of receiving an Explorer Cache upon level-up
  • Caches can be collected until October 15
    • that’s one week longer than planned
    • afterwards, you can still buy caches with real money premium credits for one more week and open existing caches
  • Event Caches are active until October 22
    • The event will end then, and the Explorer Caches will disappear for now
The Trapper outfit is available with the current Explorer Event

Maintenance on Monday morning – How long will the servers be down?

  • Maintenance begins on Monday, October 7 at 10:00 AM
    • No access to the servers of The Division 2
  • The maintenance is expected to end around 2:00 PM

This is how the developers are reacting to the community’s feedback: In fact, the maintenance on Monday will improve the drop chance of the Event Clothing Caches, and the “Explorer Event” remains active for one week longer. This shows that the people at Massive directly responded to the players’ feedback in the past few days.

The Paratrooper resembles a parachutist

Developers react to criticism

This is what the developers initially said about the problem with the event: Chris Gansler, The Division 2 Community Developer, responded a few days ago to the growing frustration on Reddit and made it clear that the developers are aware of the problem:

Hello! We agree with your feedback about the stretches of bad RNG where it can take a lot of Field Proficiency or Dark Zone Caches before you get another Apparel Event Cache key. We know it can be frustrating when you don’t get a key, and the game does not provide you with this feedback or tells you if and when you’ll get a key next.

For future events, we’re currently looking at solutions which would allow you to have a more predictable path to acquire event keys and better feedback from the games’ UI.

Chris Gansler on Reddit

In his post on Reddit, Chris Gansler addresses players who have received very few caches from level-ups so far and understands how frustrating it is when no Event Cache drops after multiple level-ups.

Since the game also does not give any indication of when you will receive the next Event Cache, this can be very annoying.

He also mentions that solutions are already being sought for future events to make the cache distribution more comprehensible and to allow Agents to check their progress.

The Aviator outfit comes with a stylish cap and leather jacket

Caches will be distributed more generously

However, Massive has now decided to adjust the current event and respond quickly to player feedback. With the patch on Monday, October 7, the chance of receiving Event Caches will be increased.

If you unlock all cosmetics from the event, you will receive the Space Explorer on top

The largest expansion to date is coming

Isn’t the next Title Update 6 approaching? The release of Title Update 6 has been announced for mid-October, bringing many new contents and changing some mechanics in the game. The update is supposed to be released simultaneously with the content expansion “Episode 2”.

Check here for more information about the upcoming content or changes coming to The Division 2:

Pokémon GO: The 3 best vacation spots to catch many regional Pokémon

There are currently 27 regional Pokémon in Pokémon GO to catch, hiding all around the world. But which places are best suited to catch many at once?

Admittedly, traveling to another country just for regional Pokémon is quite intense, but it can have a positive connotation if you can catch various new Pokémon in your vacation destination.

We will show you here 3 places that bring many new Pokémon and could certainly complete your PokéDex.

3 Places with particularly many regional Pokémon

Important: We have looked at the regional Pokémon that you currently cannot catch in Germany. However, they may already be available through events or be found here by trading regions.

Pokémon GO Kanto Regional Title

Currently, in Germany, you can catch Pantimos, Volbeat, Sengo, Lunastein, the eastern Schalellos (blue), Vesprit, Grillmak, and Fermicula. These will not be taken into account here. You can find the list of all regional Pokémon here:

Pokémon GO: All regional Pokémon and where to catch them – Status 2024
von Patrick Freese

Northern Australia

Which Pokémon can be caught here? 5 regional Pokémon that are not available in Germany can be caught here. These include:

  • Kangaskhan
  • Corasonn
  • Plushie
  • Selfe
  • Vegimak
Plushie
With luck, you’ll find Plushie here

If you want to snag all regional Pokémon here, you must go to the north of Australia, because only here can you catch Corasonn. All other Pokémon can be found across Australia.

Canary Islands

Which Pokémon can be caught here? Although the Canary Islands are still part of Europe, they have completely different regional Pokémon. There are 7 new regional Pokémon:

  • Corasonn
  • Tropius
  • Illumise
  • Sonnfel
  • Vipitis
  • Western Schalellos (pink)
  • Furnifraß
Pokémon GO Regional Title 2

The Canaries are a popular travel destination for tourists, and it’s also worth it for Pokémon GO. Niantic counts the island group as part of Africa, which is why Tropius can be found here. Additionally, the islands are located in the western hemisphere, which is why you can find the red Schalellos and Furnifraß here.

State of Florida

Which Pokémon can be caught here? All places are overshadowed by the US state. Here, new regional Pokémon abound, allowing you to catch up to 11 of them. These include:

  • Tauros
  • Corasonn
  • Scaraborn
  • Illumise
  • Vipitis
  • Sonnfel
  • Venuflibis
  • Western Schalellos (pink)
  • Tobutz
  • Sodamak
  • Furnifraß
regional

In Florida, many things come together. In the northern part of the state, you can still find Tauros, while south of Orlando, Scaraborn appears. Additionally, there is also the very small area for Venuflibis. Those who vacation here can snag a lot of Dex entries.

Which place would you like to vacation?

Destiny 2: Team achieves World First in the Raid – Twitch stream rises from 12 to 23,000

Yesterday evening, the new raid “Garden of Salvation” went live in Destiny 2. It didn’t stay unbeaten for long. By night, there was a winner: a PC clan completed the raid in just over 6 hours. The Twitch stream of the winning team exploded over the course of the evening. We look at the race and the reactions.

How long did the raid last? The raid opened at 7:00 PM last night – from then on, 3 exotics were locked across Destiny 2.

At 1:22 AM last night, Bungie announced that there was a winner.

The team from Ascend earned the title of World First for the new raid in Shadowkeep. They completed the raid just 2 minutes and 33 seconds ahead of the second team.

The team needed 6 hours and 13 minutes for this.

Who won? Ascend is a PC clan, and they will now wear the specially crafted belts of the World First.

After the “big clans” such as Redeem with Twitch streamer xGladd had always won before, this time it was more unknown players from the Destiny community.

Anthem-xGladd
xGladd – he and his team were the first to complete Last Wish. This time, it wasn’t enough for the World First.

How does the time compare to other raids? The slightly more than 6 hours are pretty much the “normal raid time” for a World First in Destiny 2:

In Last Wish, teams struggled in September 2018 because they were hopelessly undergeared.

Other teams besides the winners spent more than 24 hours straight in Last Wish to complete the raid within the first day and snatch a bonus. In the end, they were standing KO, just exhausted. Just Datto went down in history as a tragic hero with his teammates.

This time, the raid was more forgiving.

This is how Bungie experienced the raid: As we’ve known for some time, the developers from Bungie gather every time for a raid in an auditorium at their headquarters in Seattle. They watch the raid live there like a movie or a football match.

After all, it’s the first time someone can test their baby outside of Bungie.

There was also applause in the room when the raid was completed.

The Twitch channel of the team exploded

What are the reactions? On reddit, people are happy that this time an “unknown team” won. The success is tied to the Twitch stream of one of the team members, which completely exploded from 12 viewers at the beginning.

The stream was broadcast live on the Twitch channel of “ExBlack”:

  • He usually has 11 viewers on average
  • His Twitch stream yesterday had an average of 3,500 viewers, and at the end, when it was clear that his team was about to win, the viewer count shot up to 23,291

In retrospect, there is also praise for Bungie on Reddit, that they locked the “exploit exotics.” The Ascend team deserved to win – they handled the final fight better than other streams, it is said on reddit.

Player plays Minecraft completely wrong – Does not mine a single block

Can you complete Minecraft without “mining”? Yes, you can. The result is quite impressive!

Minecraft is, for all its love, no longer a new game and for some gamers therefore quite worn out. Yet people continuously seek new challenges to achieve new successes in the block world. Recently, we had a player who completed Minecraft without taking a single step.

However, the YouTuber Hedgey has imposed a different, strange hurdle on himself. He wanted to complete Minecraft without breaking a single block by hand.

In a game called “Minecraft”, completely forgoing mining sounds a bit crazy. You can see how well it worked here:

This is how Hedgey proceeded: The beginning is particularly rocky because Hedgey first needs to acquire basic resources like food. To do this, he searches for villages and plunders their treasure chests. He hops around on the villagers’ tilled fields because this has a chance of “ruining” the fields, causing seeds or potatoes to pop out of the ground. He can then eat these or simply use them for trades with the villagers.

Piece by piece, he collects his equipment, receives food, iron, and thereby gains access to weapons. This allows him later to collect Ender Pearls to activate the portal that takes him to the “End”. He even manages to completely defeat the Ender Dragon without breaking any blocks. Particularly impressive is how often he saves his life with a bucket of water during this.

Minecraft Banner

What were his tricks? Most blocks and items in Minecraft can also be obtained without breaking them yourself. For example, Hedgey was able to use the exploding Creepers to destroy trees, which then left behind a few pieces of wood. In other cases, he could use the TNT that he found in treasure chests or villages. To trigger this explosion, he only had to activate a button.

What do you think about it? A cool achievement to manage the game this way? Or completely stupid?

Halloween Event 2019 in Pokémon GO – These Pokémon could be waiting for you

One of the biggest events in Pokémon GO is likely to start again in 2019: the Halloween event. But which Pokémon can be expected?

What makes the Halloween event special: In the last two years, new Pokémon were added for Halloween as well. For example, Ghost Pokémon from the 3rd and 4th generation appeared in the wild. In 2018, a new legendary Pokémon was even introduced with Giratina.

This year, a lot could also happen in the popular event. We will show you what has already been leaked and which Pokémon fit the occasion.

These 5th generation Pokémon could come

These are the ghost monsters: With the first wave of the 5th generation, two ghost families were already introduced. There are only two other ghost-type families in the 5th generation:

  • Swablu and Apoquallyp
  • Makabaja and Echnatoll
Gen 5 Ghost

Makabaja was teased by Niantic a few days ago, so a release soon is conceivable. It would fit perfectly with Halloween.

These are the dark monsters: As we already know from other Halloween events, not only ghost Pokémon come to Halloween. Dark-type monsters are also found in larger numbers. Last year, for example, Skunkapuh was one of them.

The following dark-type Pokémon are available in the 5th generation:

  • Ganovil, Rokkaiman and Rabigator
  • Zurrokex and Irokex
  • Zorua and Zoroark
  • Gladiantri and Caesurio
  • Skallyk and Grypheldis
Gen 5 Dark

These are the psychic Pokémon: In addition to ghost and dark types, psychic Pokémon also often join the Halloween event. Here’s a selection of psychic monsters that fit well with Halloween:

  • Fleknoil and Fletiamo
  • Mollimorba, Hypnomorba and Morbitesse
  • Monozyto, Mitodos and Zytomega
Gen 5 Psychic

Which Pokémon are the most realistic? Strong candidates for release are Makabaja and Zorua. They fit perfectly into the Halloween setting. Skallyk and Grypheldis could also fit in, as they represent vultures that are often depicted as evil.

What data miners have already found

Diverse hints of the return of Kryppuk have been discovered. This Pokémon was introduced in Halloween 2018 in special research and has only been catchable this time.

If data miners can be believed, it could return this year and bring a new special research with it.

Kryppuk

These files indicate Kryppuk: Diverse text files were found with the names “Quest Title Kryppuk 2019” or “A Scary Message 2019” .

It is said that the special research has 3 stages. In 2018 there were also 3 stages and at the end one was able to catch Kryppuk.

Fans hope for: The return of a Pokémon always raises hopes for the introduction of a shiny version. This would also provide an incentive for players who already own Kryppuk to complete the special research.

Shiny Kryppuk
Could Shiny Kryppuk come?

What else could happen at Halloween? These events have always brought double candies. A similar bonus is probably to be expected in 2019.

In 2018, there were special field research tasks and generally more ghost and dark Pokémon appeared. This could also be quite conceivable in 2019.

What are you hoping for at the Halloween event 2019? Which new Pokémon would you be excited about?

The most powerful weapon in CoD Mobile: How to get the nuclear bomb

If you want to eliminate all opponents at once in Call of Duty: Mobile, you need the Nuke, which is the atomic bomb in English. But how do you get it?

This is what the Nuke does: The atomic bomb has been one of the most powerful weapons in many Call of Duty titles. When used, all players on the map are eliminated.

This works the same way in the mobile version of Call of Duty, which is already a huge hit. However, in order to get the Nuke, you must have proven your skills first.

How to get the Nuke in CoD Mobile – Here’s how

These are the requirements you must meet: To obtain this powerful weapon, you need rank 20. If you haven’t reached this level yet, you cannot obtain the atomic bomb.

You can fulfill all other requirements, but without this rank, you will not get the bomb.

At minute 3:10, you can see the atomic bomb.

These are the requirements you must meet: The Nuke can only be achieved with an extremely high kill streak. You need to eliminate 20 opponents in a row to unlock the weapon. You cannot die in between.

Kill streak rewards do not count, meaning the rewards that you can earn for kills. For example, if you use an airstrike as a reward and eliminate opponents with it, those do not count towards the 20 kills for the Nuke.

CoD Mobile

This is how to use the Nuke: After you have actually landed 20 kills in a row, the message “Deploy Atomic Bomb” will appear on your screen, and you can fire the Nuke.

Your character will pull out a case containing the trigger. He will then open it, and the atomic bomb will be deployed. All enemies on the map will then be eliminated.

It’s important that you must stop aiming. Only then will this message appear. If you’re still aiming, you cannot deploy the Nuke.

Call of Duty is very successful, which is especially good for developer Activision:

Why BlizzCon 2019 can only be good for gamers

In a few weeks, it will be time for BlizzCon again. After last year’s fiasco, we can expect some “big surprises” this year. At least that’s the assessment from Cortyn.

In a few weeks, it’s that time again: BlizzCon 2019 will take place. The event runs from November 1 to 3, 2019. Hopefully, there will be plenty of new announcements and presentations related to Blizzard’s game universes.

J. Allen Brack, the current head of Blizzard, has already promised that BlizzCon 2019 is likely to be “the best one yet”.

And as critical as I am of Brack and have criticized Blizzard’s “changes” in the past, I am inclined to believe him. At least all signs currently indicate that BlizzCon 2019 will be a highlight for gamers.

In no case do you want to start two years in a row with a rather negatively perceived BlizzCon. After last year’s presentation was almost exclusively about Diablo Immortal, the expectations of core gamers are even higher this year.

Blizzard BlizzCon 2019 Key Art

BlizzCon 2019 must meet huge expectations

But what can we actually expect at BlizzCon 2019? There is currently no exact schedule from Blizzard, but there is a lot of room for speculation. I will only mention the things that come to mind spontaneously and that are more or less likely:

New expansion for World of Warcraft: Although Patch 8.2.5 has just gone live in Battle for Azeroth, BlizzCon is likely to include the reveal of the next WoW expansion. After all, many fans have mentally already checked out the current addon and are looking forward to the next chapter.

World of Warcraft WoW Shadowlands

In particular, the leak of “Shadowlands” is relevant here. The current events in WoW fit the supposed leak and would bring the story into the realm of the dead.

Diablo IV: If there was one thing you had to bet money on, it would probably be the official announcement of Diablo IV. After its absence last year left fans extremely disappointed, Blizzard has virtually no other choice but to present something new here. Last year, it was said that they were “working on several Diablo projects” and simply weren’t ready to show more than Diablo Immortal.

diablo-4-titel

A year later, this should look different. Diablo universe fans should therefore brace themselves for a new title that is likely to be revealed.

Diablo Immortal: Even though the announcement of the mobile title was a complete disaster with “Don’t you guys have phones?” frustration, Diablo Immortal is interesting. Half of our readers are excited for the title and want to at least try it out.

However, it has also been relatively quiet around the game since the announcement. New information is therefore extremely likely, especially considering that the game made a solid impression last year.

Warcraft 3 Reforged: Announced just last year, Warcraft 3 Reforged will be released in 2019. It is a remake of the old strategy classic with new graphics. Apart from some small expansions in the story that bring certain characters more into the spotlight, the classic remains unchanged.

Since pre-orders have been running for months and the release is listed as “by December 31, 2019 at the latest,” a release is imminent. The assumption is high that Blizzard will simply say at BlizzCon, “Oh, by the way, the game is finished, you can start playing!” This would at least be a small surprise and give Warcraft fans something new (or old) to play.

Overwatch 2: A particularly eagerly awaited favorite is also the project known to players as “Overwatch 2”. However, the name may be misleading, as the next Overwatch game will likely not replace the current game but rather expand the game world with campaigns and story missions. This has been desired by fans for a long time, and various job postings in the past have indicated that fresh content for co-op fans is in the works.

Overwatch 2 title 1140x445

However, it is questionable whether “Overwatch 2” or a similar title will actually be presented. It is quite possible that it may take another year or two of development time before any initial images can be seen.

Hearthstone: For Hearthstone, the program will probably return to “Standard”. It is to be expected that the developers will announce the next expansion that concludes 2019 and thus the story around Ü.B.E.L. and the Explorer’s League. This will certainly also come with 135 new cards and another PvE adventure.

Hearthstone Jaina Mage Rogue Valeera title 1140x445

Really interesting is only whether Hearthstone will finally fulfill many of the community’s wishes. After all, for years, a 2-player mode or a tournament mode has been requested. The latter was provisionally shelved, but perhaps there will be a surprise.

A new franchise: There have also been rumors that Blizzard is working on a completely new franchise. After all, Overwatch has been around for a while now, and the goal is to produce more new content. A new franchise would mean fresh wind and could potentially open doors for new genres where Blizzard has not been very active so far.

Mobile Games – The Big Unknown

Mobile games are still viewed critically by most gamers. They are often full of micro-transactions, and the game design is geared towards only being able to keep up if you spend a good dozen hours in the game every day. Moreover, playing on a small screen is still uncomfortable for many players and has nothing to do with “real gaming”.

I also view mobile games critically. I just couldn’t warm up to them so far.

But if there is a game developer that I at least trust to spark my interest in these games, it would probably be Blizzard. After all, I will give their games a chance, and if I am not bombarded with “Pay2Win” microtransactions at every turn, Blizzard has a fair chance to win me over.

If they make a cool “Warcraft Mobile” or even just a kind of DOTA Underlords in Warcraft style, then I’ll be in right away. At least, if the framework is right.

WoW Mobile Game title
The vision comes true.

If I take all the points mentioned above into account, I certainly believe that BlizzCon will be a huge success. Even if half of the speculations don’t come true, it should still be a pretty good BlizzCon.

So yes, I am inclined to believe J. Allen Brack in this statement. For gamers, November 1 and 2 are important dates that will shed much light on the games of the coming years.

Are you looking forward to BlizzCon? Or have you buried your hope for exciting news from Blizzard?

Pokémon GO: Mewtwo with Shadow Ball is now in EX Raids – Is the attack worth it?

Mewtwo with the move Shadow Ball is now back in EX Raids of Pokémon GO. But is the attack worth it and what other moves are good?

How can you get Mewtwo with Shadow Ball? You can obtain Mewtwo’s exclusive move only from EX Raids. In the upcoming raid hour on Tuesday, Mewtwo will know Confusion.

So if you want Mewtwo with Shadow Ball, you need to complete an EX Raid in the coming weeks. You cannot teach Mewtwo the move via TM.

Mewtwo’s strength with Shadow Ball

What can the move do? At first glance, the move seems a bit useless, as Mewtwo is a Psychic type and Shadow Ball is a Ghost-type move. The legendary Pokémon does not have STAB, and no fighting bonus because it is not the same type as the move.

Pokémon GO Mewtwo Title 2

If you look closer, Mewtwo is damn strong with the move, as the attack does a strong base damage and Mewtwo has an enormous attack value.

With the move “Shadow Ball,” Mewtwo becomes one of the best ghost attackers in the game. Only the original form of Giratina and Chandelure perform better than Mewtwo.

In the best counters against Mewtwo, it is even placed third. So if you are currently battling an EX Raid, you can’t go wrong with a Mewtwo with Shadow Ball.

Pokémon GO Mewtwo Elements

The 3 strongest moves of Mewtwo in Pokémon GO

Which move of Mewtwo is still worthwhile? Mewtwo can master a total of 8 moves. Some of them it can no longer learn now, but you may have received an older specimen. Mewtwo can learn the following moves in Pokémon GO:

  • Ice Beam
  • Flamethrower
  • Thunderbolt
  • Shadow Ball (only in EX Raids)
  • Confusion (only through past raids and the raid hour on Tuesday)
  • Psycho Cut
  • Focus Blast
  • Hyper Beam (can no longer learn)

Of the 8 moves, only 3 are truly worthwhile. These include Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, and Confusion:

  • With Ice Beam, Mewtwo ranks behind the top Ice attackers. It is in 4th place among the top counters against Rayquaza.
  • Confusion makes Mewtwo the best all-rounder in the game and is therefore useful against almost every Pokémon. It is definitely the best Psychic attacker.

Don’t care about the move? If you already have enough Mewtwo with Shadow Ball or simply do not like fighting with Mewtwo, then the EX Raids have another function: Mewtwo can be shiny there. The chance is about 1 in 19.

Recently, various quests related to Team Rocket were leaked:

How to Annoy Your Teammates Effectively in Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne offers you many ways to achieve something together with other players. We have some tips for you on how to make a wonderful impression.

With the expansion, a variety of new content came to players in Monster Hunter World. Most of the new monsters from Iceborne are better dealt with as a team. It is, of course, important that you work well together. We have compiled a few tips to ensure that you will (not) convince your colleagues.

Save Your Potions

They’re running low!

In Monster Hunter World, you only have a limited number of potions available. You can carry 10 potions and 10 mega potions in your pouch. So to succeed in your missions, you need to manage them sparingly.

A good tip is to wait until a teammate with an area effect uses a healing potion. With this skill, you are influenced by your colleagues’ items.

Otherwise, you can always run around with a half-filled health bar. The likelihood that the monster will deal you that much damage is very low after all.

Take Care of Yourself

Even in the expansion of Monster Hunter World, it is important to keep an eye on yourself. You should always have Nullberries or evasion rolls ready for abnormal status effects.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Path
Looking out for yourself

If a teammate is stunned, rather refrain from knocking him out. You could deal him damage and potentially kill him.

Moreover, the two asterisks next to his health bar mean he is doing fabulously well. Why else would Monster Hunter World use such a symbol?

Secure Loot

The most important thing in Monster Hunter World is farming. You should always try to use your playtime effectively. This way, you’ll quickly get good equipment for further battles.

If you take a break, it makes sense to still join a quest. You can spend your absence in the camp. This way, you’ll get loot even if you are not currently playing.

Monster Hunter World Wild Expert Bine
Can’t defend herself: The Wild Expert

Moreover, someone has to guard the camp. After all, the Wild Expert is all alone there. You never know what dangers might lurk for her.

Leave the Wounding to Others

With Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, a new weapon tool came into play. The Clutch Claw lets you pull towards enemies and execute powerful attacks.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Clutch Claw
So practical: The Clutch Claw

An important feature of this new weapon is the wounding of monsters. This makes a body part more vulnerable to damage and easier to break.

This attack is, however, very dangerous, as the monster can also defend itself. Therefore, you should leave the duty of using the Clutch Claw to other players. It’s most effective if only one of four people takes care of it.

Respond to as Many SOS Signals as Possible

One way to get quests in Monster Hunter World is via SOS signals. You can join other players who need help with their mission.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Brodelnder Bazelgeuse
Also reachable at a low level: Brodelnden Bazelgeuse

You should definitely respond to SOS signals whose target is still too difficult for you. This way, you might also get loot when the quest fails. The other players won’t mind if you rush to help them and die three times in the process.

Take Gear for Maximum Damage

The most important thing in Monster Hunter World is known to be a player’s damage. So you should always ensure that you have the right damage set ready for your 14 weapon types.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Namielle
Namielle inflicts lightning and water damage

Even against opponents like Teostra, who come with a lot of elemental damage, you should go for it. “Resistance is for the weak!” So you should give up on elemental resistances as quickly as possible, your mission will be over sooner that way. Whether due to high damage or because it fails doesn’t matter.

And now, seriously: These are obviously not serious tips. To be honest, everyone has to leave suddenly at some point. Besides, hardly anyone has the perfect gear for all monsters or even for any of them. And the following is very important: we also simply die sometimes. Don’t let yourself be turned off, neither by yourself nor by your teammates.

But we also have serious guides for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne for you:

Twitch makes deal with McDonald’s – But the streamer messed it up badly

The streaming platform Twitch has apparently struck a big deal with the fast-food giant McDonald’s. However, it did not go according to plan. The Twitch streamer Tucker “JERICHO” Boner was supposed to promote the deal, but he misspoke and mentioned Whoppers.

Who is that? The streamer Tucker “JERICHO” Boner has about 1.1 million followers on Twitch. He is a variety streamer who plays all kinds of games. Last week he was playing Borderlands 3, CS:GO, and the “Untitled Goose Game.” Occasionally, he also cooks on Twitch.

According to his own statements, he was supposed to be the poster child for a deal between Twitch and McDonald’s. The deal seems to have been arranged for him by Twitch.

Streamer confuses Whopper with Big Mac – big mistake

What went wrong? JERICHO said at the beginning of the campaign in his stream that McDonald’s was one of the few companies he would work with.

They sent him a suitcase with 100 golden “Whopper-Coins” last year for the 50th anniversary of the Whopper.

He realizes immediately that it was not a Whopper, the famous burger from Burger King, but a “Big Mac” and “Big Mac” coins, but by then it was already too late.

He tried to explain: Someone had written “Whopper” in the chat and he had seen that, he was just an idiot – and oh.

Hamburger Meinmmo fragt
Untitled Burger.

It’s like accidentally calling the teacher “Mommy”

This is what the streamer says: In another stream, JERICHO says it was a “Freudian slip,” just like accidentally calling your teacher “Mommy.” He noticed it immediately, but it was already too late.

Jericho explaining how he messed up McDonald sponsorship from r/LivestreamFail

Streamer is temporarily sidelined

According to JERICHO:

  • McDonald’s was very angry – it could also have legal dimensions
  • The important people at Twitch who had closed the deal were very angry – it was the first campaign of this magnitude between Twitch and McDonald’s
  • It was actually planned for JERICHO to be prominently featured – that has probably been canceled
  • Twitch apparently informed him that they would not use him for such sponsored deals for the “foreseeable future” – he is in the dog house
McDonalds-Jericho
Apparently it was initially planned for JERICHO to take on a larger role in advertising for Twitch – that has probably been canceled.

Error could cost Twitch a lot of money

The streamer says it was a mistake. But a big mistake. And such a mistake cannot be afforded when working with the biggest companies in the world.

JERICHO explains that because of the mistake, Twitch might now lose the McDonald’s deal and a lot of money. He takes full responsibility for it.

He says he won’t be making deals with companies for a long, long time.

The streaming service Twitch has been able to further expand its market-leading position in the last 3 months:

Everyone is hunting in WoW Classic only “Best in Slot” – It’s annoying

Even in WoW Classic , the hunt for the best gear is a priority for many players. However, this perfect math annoys some – including our author Cortyn.

Even before World of Warcraft Classic launched, there were many discussions and talks about how the game might have changed. It wasn’t about the game itself – because that’s practically identical – but about the views and attitudes of the players.

After all, there are now many more sources of information than 15 years ago, and almost every detail of Classic is known. There are no more secrets, and with just a few clicks, anyone can find out where to get the mathematically calculated best equipment for their character. What “Best in Slot” is for each class can be easily researched.

Now, after almost 5 weeks in WoW Classic, that is slowly getting on my nerves.

Perfectionism Hinders Enjoyment

I am personally massively disturbed by the hunt for the “Best in Slot” items. Because that seems to be what a large portion of players care about above all else. Once you secure the “BiS” item, a dungeon becomes practically uninteresting.

I really can’t blame the players. After all, time has become rather scarce for most gamers in recent years and is not something that’s available in endless amounts – quite different from how it was “back then” for students or schoolchildren.

I can fundamentally understand the urge to optimize one’s character and to sacrifice time only for what might mean progress. For many players, it is a sense of achievement to look at their character and claim that it is “completed” at this current state.

WoW Classic players have something against streamers titled pitchforks

But then I think back to the past, to “WoW Vanilla,” and remember that I must have run into Scholomance a hundred times or pushed the Baron off his moldy horse in Stratholme.

Even long after I could pull anything valuable from the dungeon, I joyfully ran in there repeatedly. Not necessarily for the loot, but just to do something together in WoW.

“New content” for WoW Classic is coming later this year, by the way.

Less Knowledge = More Fun?

I consciously decided against looking at a “Best in Slot” list for the mage because I fear that otherwise I would approach WoW Classic in the same way. But now it is slowly backfiring that I am probably more of an exception since it eats away at my enjoyment of the game in a “reverse way.” Because while I don’t play with the same goal as others, the selection of playmates gets smaller every day.

From the “solid tanks and healers” on my friends list, there are fewer and fewer each day that can still be excited about a run in a dungeon from which they already have all the upgrades. Many primarily pursue personal goals, murdering Rend Blackhand 10 times a day for one of his swords or farming the saber in Winterquell. Or they have already started striving for level 60 with their first twinks as well.

In summary, I am still glad that I am not worried about “Best in Slot” and simply take what I can get. I am happy about every upgrade and sometimes get surprised because I didn’t even know 100% where certain items actually came from. At least for me, that helped a lot to maintain my joy in Classic.

I am also happy with my fire mage – that was the best, worst decision!

I can only hope that in a few weeks, the players who sought to optimize their character will be “finished”. Perhaps I am only bothered by it so much because I now have to read at least once in every group, “X is my BiS, can I have it?”.

But how about you? Have you created a “Best in Slot” list for your character and are you working through it systematically? Or do you avoid such lists and just play a bit more relaxed?

Why many players are disappointed with the story in Destiny 2 Shadowkeep

Destiny 2 wants to tell its story in a new way with Shadowkeep. However, the way Bungie does this divides the community.

Attention, story spoiler. If you want to experience the story of Shadowkeep for yourself, you should not read on.

What’s happening in the Destiny universe? Guardians had to wait a long time, but since October 1st, Shadowkeep is finally available – including a new campaign. In the last few days, many have dived into the new story, and more and more Guardians have now reached their conclusion. However, this ending is currently leading to heated discussions.

Guardians meet an old acquaintance on the Moon

What you will experience in Shadowkeep

What happens in the story of Shadowkeep? The Guardians meet an old acquaintance on the Moon known from Destiny 1: Eris Morn. She needs your help to eliminate nightmares that are spreading throughout the solar system.

During the story, the Guardians encounter one of the pyramid ships, which have had several brief appearances in the lore and are considered the great mystery of Destiny. In Shadowkeep, you not only get to see this construct, but in the final mission, you even enter the interior of this colossal ship.

In the end, you recover a mysterious artifact and find yourself in a green meadow that strongly resembles the “Black Garden“. The Guardians were last at the birthplace of the Vex in the final mission of Destiny’s original campaign.

In this picturesque place, you meet an exact copy of your Guardian. This supposed avatar of darkness tells you that he is neither your enemy nor your friend, but your salvation. Afterwards, you hand over the artifact to Eris, who wants to study it further. Then, at the climax of the plot, it’s basically over.

This is currently being eagerly discussed

This is being criticized about the story: Destiny has been criticized since part 1 for not having a well-told story. Even with the latest expansion, Shadowkeep, the annual discussion flares up again.

Especially the abrupt ending is perceived negatively by many. The open conclusion comes very suddenly at a key moment and provides no answers. On the contrary, it raises even more unanswered questions. It is increasingly heard that Destiny 2 doesn’t have a real campaign.

Who was the mysterious doppelgänger of our Guardian, and what is the deal with the pyramid ships?

These reactions on Reddit exemplify the emotions of many Guardians:

  • One user writes: “At first I thought I accidentally skipped the cutscene.”
  • Another criticizes: “The Guardian met his doppelgänger and was in that strange place, but after the cutscene, everything was back to normal, and it was as if nothing had happened.”
Throughout the campaign, we encounter Destiny staple Crota

Some defend the story: Especially the dark look of the campaign is well received by players. The story involving fan-favourite Eris Morn is also very atmospheric. Furthermore, the renewed focus on darkness excites many veterans. There is a lot of criticism, but not only, as we can see.

In the comments on Mein-MMO, Marki Wolle writes: “Hard to believe, but the atmosphere during the story surrounding Eris is simply great. The thing with the phantoms, the dark mood. In short: it just fits! It has captivated me…”

Supporters also comment on the sudden ending and the cliffhanger (via reddit):

  • It is said on Reddit: “If the story feels like it ends in the middle, that’s intentional. The story will continue soon with the upcoming raid and Vex Offensive.”
  • One user noted: “The final mission was a feast for lore lovers.”
  • There are also statements like: “The story that started with Shadowkeep will be developed throughout the entire season, which is a big step towards good storytelling.”

Bungie recently announced that they want to tell a continuous story with Destiny 2 through the seasons. The story is to unfold over the course of the entire season and will even transition into the next season. The seasonal events and activities are integrated into the overarching narrative.
