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

Schuhmann Schuhmann 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.

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 Cortyn 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 corrupted Furorion. Source: wowhead
  • 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.
The obsidian statue Maut. Source: wowhead
  • 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.
Azshara is being tortured. But will she survive?

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 Andreas Bertits 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.

https://twitter.com/BIackwing/status/1181277564536385537

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.

https://twitter.com/Mythbustman/status/1181446125124894722

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.

Hearthstone kicks Grandmaster out, strips his prize money

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The Hearthstone pro Chung “Blitzchung” Ng Wai was suspended by Blizzard. After a political statement about the situation in Hong Kong, he was stripped of his Grandmaster status, had his prize money revoked, and received a one-year ban.

What did “Blitzchung” do? Chung “Blitzchung” Ng Wai is one of the best Hearthstone players and holds the Grandmaster status. Only 48 players worldwide have this.

In an interview during the Asia Pacific Hearthstone Grandmasters livestream after a match, he shouted: “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age!” He was wearing a gas mask and ski goggles.

The two casters ducked under the table when he began to speak, giggling at the same time.

What is the background? Since June, many residents of Hong Kong have been protesting against a new law that provides for the extradition of criminals to mainland China. Many fear that this will undermine Hong Kong’s independence.

Although the implementation of the law has been postponed, many residents of Hong Kong continue to protest for more independence.

Blizzard takes action

What was the consequence of “Blitzchung’s” action? Blizzard took the livestream offline and stated that Chung Ng Wai violated Hearthstone rules. The concerns revolve around Section 6.1 of the “Hearthstone Grandmasters Official Competition Rules”. According to this rule, Grandmasters cannot make statements that would bring the player, the game, or Blizzard into disrepute.

The penalties are:

  • Blizzard revoked “Blitzchung’s” Grandmaster status
  • Blizzard will withhold all his prize money for Season 2
  • Furthermore, he may not participate in Hearthstone tournaments for one year – from October 5, 2019, to October 5, 2020

Additionally, the collaboration with the two casters/hosts who interviewed “Blitzchung” has been terminated, even though they did not address the political statement and even displayed advertisements directly.

Blizzard states that they respect players’ opinions, but those who represent the company must adhere to the rules.

Hearthstone Grandmaster Blitzchung

What does “Blitzchung” think about it? The player explains that he was well aware of the potential consequences of his statements in the livestream. Yet he stands by his opinion. Even if it now poses a threat to his life. He feels obligated to speak out about the political situation in Hong Kong.

What do players think about the situation? There is heated discussion about the penalty that “Blitzchung” received on Reddit. Most players support Chung Ng Wai and consider Blizzard’s reaction to be exaggerated. Even in Blizzard’s official forum, there are calls for solidarity with “Blitzchung”.

Was Sylvanas the last Warchief of WoW? Here’s how it goes in Patch 8.3

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

With Patch 8.3, the story of the Horde and Alliance continues in World of Warcraft. But what will happen to the role of the Warchief? This has now been revealed.

With Patch 8.2.5, an exciting cinematic came to World of Warcraft, leading to the end of the war between the Horde and Alliance. Sylvanas has disappeared, and the Horde is now without a Warchief. But who will take charge of the Horde? Who will be the new Warchief, and is there even going to be one? The first datamining from Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth provides the answers.

Spoiler Warning! If you do not want to know how the story of WoW continues in Patch 8.3, you should not read on. You have been warned.

What does Patch 8.3 reveal? In Patch 8.3, there are numerous quests in which the leaders of the Horde and Alliance converse. Anduin Wrynn and Tyrande Whisperwind meet there, leading to a dialogue that reveals who now leads the Horde. The following dialogue takes place between Anduin, Tyrande, and Genn (translated from the English):

Anduin: The truce is signed. After a long time, the Fourth War has come to an end.

Tyrande: No. Not as long as the Black Moon still cries for vengeance. Not as long as the Horde has not yet paid for its betrayal.

Anduin: Further bloodshed will not bring back the fallen. We must renew our hope and forge a future for those who survived.

Tyrande: And if the next Warchief gathers an army, will hope save you when Stormwind burns?

Anduin: I know it is difficult to trust, but there are signs of change within the Horde. Instead of a Warchief, there is now a council, led by Baine, Thrall, and the others. I believe they could –

Tyrande: Your faith is naive, Lion son. I will not sign a truce contract if it is not written in the blood of the Banshee!

Anduin: Tyrande!

Genn: There is truth in her words, Anduin. Peace may currently be negotiated, but soon the Horde will strike their drums and march to war. When that day comes, no piece of paper will hold them back.

Anduin: The path to peace will not be an easy one, and not everyone will choose to walk it. But that is the only way to create a better future. I believe it can succeed, Genn.

Who is in the Horde Council? From the conversation, it becomes clear that the concept of the Warchief is probably no longer used in the Horde. Instead, there is now a council and no sole ruler. This is likely to quell many individual initiatives.

There is also a dialogue in the Horde that clarifies who is part of this council. Besides Baine Bloodhoof (Tauren) and Thrall (Orc), the council also includes Rokhan (Darkspear Troll) and Lor’Themar Theron (Blood Elf). For the Forsaken, there seems to currently be Lillian Voss as a spokesperson, even if she “does not want to lead her people”.

Whether other important characters, such as Princess Talanji (Zandalari Troll) or Geya’rah (Mag’har Orc), are also in the council is still not completely clear.

WoW Lorthemar Theron Blood Elf leader
Also, Lor’Themar is in the council.

It is clear that Sylvanas was, for the time being, the last Warchief of the Horde. Whether the Horde Council will do a better job now or whether conflicts will soon break out again remains to be seen.

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

What do you think of this development? Is it good that the Horde no longer has a Warchief? Or does this only weaken the faction of the Horde?

CoD Modern Warfare shows gameplay trailer without gameplay – fans love it anyway

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has released a new gameplay trailer. It features the night mode and some excerpts from the story, but no gameplay. Fans are laughing about this action and still love the trailer.

What was shown? For weeks, Modern Warfare has been releasing new trailers for the game. Now a launch gameplay trailer follows, even though the launch is still several weeks away.

The trailer brings some laughs, as there isn’t much of the promised gameplay. Nevertheless, the trailer is well-received, and the mood before the launch couldn’t be better.

Watch the gameplay trailer without gameplay here

This is the clip: The video lasts about a minute and mainly shows scenes of Captain Price, who will encounter us in the story mode.

There are also brief insights into the night mode of Modern Warfare. The whole is accompanied by loud music from the metal band Metallica, which was already used in another trailer.

Amid all the action and numerous insights, the gameplay remains elusive.

This is what fans say: The missing gameplay has also been noticed by players, so there has already been some joking about it on Reddit. We show you some voices of the fans:

  • TheRed24: “Not a real gameplay trailer because it’s without gameplay, but it’s still cool!”
  • bduckets: “Cool “gameplay”, but I love how the epic voice at the end says: PREORDERCALLOFDUTYMODERNWARFARE”
  • ThingsUponMyHead: “Half of the trailer consists of reused scenes. What is new looks good, but I expected more.”
  • StrickenCross88: “Am I the only one who thinks that this gameplay trailer… lacks gameplay?”
Modern Warfare

It is remarkable that a trailer like this, which does not fulfill the promises, is still so well received. The mood around the game is generally very good, and every new trailer is celebrated. Recently, a story trailer was extremely well received.

When does Modern Warfare come out? The new installment of the Call of Duty saga is set to release on October 25 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game even impresses various critics. Here are some reasons for that:

MMORPG Pantheon asks about 5 years of very strange stuff – Frustrates the fans

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Brad McQuaid posted a rather strange message in the official forum of the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and upset the community.

What does the post say? Brad McQuaid, known in the forum as Aradune, posted a message, starting off by saying he has some time to address questions from the community. He set some ground rules and asked players to send him suggestions for the MMORPG Pantheon as well as questions.

The tone in his message comes off as quite strange and somewhat incoherent. He threatens the community with bans if they do not follow his rules, while at the same time praising them for becoming more mature. The entire post has a peculiar character.

He also wants to recognize the players’ passion in their messages. It somewhat feels like he is asking for more attention for his game.

Pantheon Dungeon Battle

A post that upset the community

How are the players reacting? The post is not being received positively. While some are actively posting questions and suggestions for the MMORPG, others are very upset.

After five years of development, there is now a call for ideas and suggestions. Moreover, important questions about gameplay are now to be answered. Some believe that this should have happened much earlier, and the development of Pantheon is being questioned. Additionally, some dislike the tone in which the post was written.

In general, some do not understand what Brad McQuaid wants at all. For many in the community, the post is simply incoherent and lacks a real message. The question now is what is going on with the developers.

After Brad McQuaid’s post, some in the community even claim to regret supporting the project, which seems a bit exaggerated. For many, the MMORPG is the great PvE hope, which is why there is such an emotional reaction.

Pantheon Forest

What does the community want? Following Brad McQuaid’s post, there is concern that the developers could get sidetracked. The team should not ask for even more features, but simply finish the MMORPG.

It is now time to show more of Pantheon, the online role-playing game that wants to bring the Everquest principle to our time. Players wish to see progress that shows the MMORPG is on the right track. This year, there has simply been too little.

The post by Brad McQuaid apparently did not help to strengthen the community’s trust – rather the opposite has occurred.

The Division 2: Fragments are flying out – Here’s how to use them best now

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 4 minutes

The Division 2 brings many innovations to the game with the major Title Update 6, and the developers are working on several game mechanics. The clothing boxes are also not spared, and the system with clothing fragments is being removed from the game. With a little trick, there are a few extra boxes available at the start of the new update.

How do the clothing boxes of The Division 2 work? Like almost every major online game that prides itself, The Division 2 offers a lot of items for customizing the character. Scarves, pilot caps, flip-flops, but also weapon skins, patches, and a lot of camouflage are available to the agents.

Farming fragments and crafting boxes

In addition to special clothing events that bring special and more or less themed “cosmetics” into the game, like the current “Explorer Event”, players receive new clothes through craftable clothing boxes.

The space explorer is available as a reward at the current explorer event if you have received all other cosmetics of the event

To craft these boxes, agents regularly earn box fragments through field expertise – the leveling up in Division 2. With these fragments, two different clothing containers can be crafted.

  • 100 fragments: Specialized Clothing Box
  • 250 fragments: Superior Clothing Box

Like weapons, “cosmetics” are also classified into rarity tiers and the 250-fragment boxes offer better chances for a rarer clothing piece.

the division 2 header game world

Clothing fragments are being removed from the game

What changes with the next update? The clothing fragments will completely disappear from the game with Title Update 6. This will also change the way these standard boxes can be obtained. The developers want to make the system more transparent.

Previously, it was necessary to craft the boxes. Massive completely removes this intermediate step from the game and gives agents a chance to receive clothing boxes upon leveling up. Additionally, there will be only one type of standard clothing boxes.

Here are the new boxes with TU6

  • Field Expertise
  • Dark Zone Expertise
  • Conflict Matches

The loot pool, i.e., the number of items that can be drawn with the new boxes, has also been reduced and will have a rotation. What the rotation looks like is not yet known. However, we already know that the loot pool will be reduced to nearly 100 items.

division 2 agents

What happens now to my fragments? The developers do not want to take any fragments or boxes away from the agents with the system change and will convert existing clothing currency into the new boxes.

This is what you get for your fragments and boxes

  • 100 fragments give one new box
  • The remaining fragments will be rounded up
    • for example, for 101 fragments you then receive 2 boxes
  • Specialized boxes (100 fragments) give one new box
  • Superior boxes (250 fragments) give 3 new boxes
  • High-End boxes give 5 new boxes
    • These boxes can be obtained through actions or through the Ubisoft Club

To upgrade your old stock, you don’t need to do anything other than log into the game after TU6. The conversion happens automatically.

division-2-agent

How should I best use my fragments now? Many agents have hoarded a bunch of these fragments. With the shift to the new system, however, the fragments should now also be put back into circulation.

You get 3 new boxes for the “Superior Clothing Containers” with the update, for which you would actually need 300 fragments. However, if you first get the superior boxes from your fragments, you’ll get 3 boxes for 250 fragments.

Buy superior boxes!

So after the launch of Title Update 6, to be able to rummage properly in the new “cosmetics” pool, buy the “Superior Clothing Containers” quickly before TU6 starts.

What other changes do the new expansions bring? Besides TU6, which turns many game mechanics upside down, the next content DLC “Episode 2” has also been announced for mid-October. Check here for info about the upcoming upheaval of The Division 2:

What do you think of the new system without fragments?

Pokémon GO: Hints on the return of the Regi Trio – Are they coming in a big live event?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In the game files of Pokémon GO, a new image of the Regi Trio has surfaced. This makes a possible return likely. Players already have good theories about it: The Regi Trio could return in a live event, consisting of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

What was found? The image shows all three Regis, namely Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. It was discovered in the game files and has not yet appeared in the Pokémon GO app itself.

Now, one can speculate that the Regi Trio will return in the near future. They might also bring Regigigas with them, as it is the leader of the Regis.

Regi Trio
This image has now surfaced in the game files

Possible return of the Regi Trio – What could come?

This is suspected: A few days ago, players found clues about an upcoming live event in the files. A ticket for the event “A Colossal Encounter” was discovered. Trainers suspect the Pokémon Regigigas behind it, as it is also called “the colossal Pokémon”.

Regigigas is one of the few missing Pokémon from Generation 4.

Now the image of the Regi Trio appears, and some trainers draw a parallel. Stealthless says on Reddit: “I suspect that the tasks before the encounter with Regigigas will be as follows: Catch 1 Regirock, Catch 1 Regice, Catch 1 Registeel.”

So, in connection with the live event, one might first catch all 3 Regis before getting the chance to catch Regigigas. This was already the case in console games of Pokémon: You could only encounter Regigigas if you had all 3 other Regis in your possession.

Regigigas
Could the live event and Regigigas play a role?

This was also found: Regarding the live event, dataminers have also discovered some additional information. It is said that the ticket will likely be available in the shop on October 15. This was noted in the game files.

This is also conceivable: A simple return of the Regi Trio to the raids would likely not satisfy many players. After all, the 3 Pokémon were already very unpopular during the first introduction in summer 2018, as they were not effective in battles.

Shiny Regi

It is quite conceivable that they would also introduce the shiny versions. This way, all trainers would at least have the incentive to invest raid passes for these 3 Pokémon.

What do you think? What could the image of the 3 Regis mean?

WoW introduces 2 allied races – But not the race that many wanted

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

With Patch 8.3, there are two new allied races in World of Warcraft. We tell you the essentials about Vulpera (Horde) and Mechagnomes (Alliance): which classes can they become and what racial abilities do they have. However, there is one race that has been forgotten – fans are sad about that.

Patch 8.3 of WoW was presented yesterday with numerous features released and roughly introduced. For fans of twinks and alternative characters or simply a new design for the characters, the patch should contain some nice news. Because there are two new allied races, one for the Horde and one for the Alliance.

The Vulpera and the Mechagnomes join the factions.

These are the Mechagnomes for the Alliance

What are the Mechagnomes? The Mechagnomes inhabit Mechagon and are basically just a variation of regular gnomes. Over the years, they have replaced individual body parts with mechanical devices, such as replacing arms and legs or enhancing eyes with cybernetics. In Mechagon, they fight against the namesake king, who wanted to fully mechanize them, leaving the gnomes as mere machines.

Mechagnome: Classes and Racial Abilities in WoW

Which classes can Mechagnomes play? Mechagnomes are able to play the following classes:

  • Hunter
  • Mage
  • Monk
  • Priest
  • Rogue
  • Warlock
  • Warrior

These are the racial abilities of the Mechagnomes: Like all races, Mechagnomes also have a set of special racial abilities. Currently, they are:

  • Combat Analysis: You collect data during combat. Every 5 seconds, your primary stat is increased by X, stackable up to 8 times. Outside of combat, this bonus decays slowly.
  • Hyper Organic Light Originator: Summons organic light duplicates to distract your enemies.
  • Mastercraft: You act as a personal smithing anvil, campfire, and smelting oven. Additionally, your body parts contain all crafting tools.
  • Re-Arm: If you drop below 20% health, you are instantly healed for 20% of your maximum health. Can only be triggered once every 90 seconds.
  • Skeleton Pinkie: Allows you to open locked boxes and doors up to a skill of X.

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

These are the Vulpera for the Horde

What are the Vulpera? The Vulpera are fox-like humanoids primarily found in Vol’dun. As a player of the Horde, you accompany several Vulpera in their caravan and defend their home against the Sethrak.

Apparently, the Vulpera are now joining the Horde at the end of the war to fight for their supporters in future conflicts.

Which classes can Vulpera play? As of now, the following classes are available for Vulpera:

  • Hunter
  • Mage
  • Monk
  • Priest
  • Rogue
  • Shaman
  • Warlock
  • Warrior

These are the racial abilities of the Vulpera: Vulpera also come with a set of their own racial abilities.

  • Fire Resistance: Fire damage taken is reduced by 1%.
  • Make Camp: Set up a campfire at this location. Can only be cast outdoors.
    • Return to Camp: Brings you back to your camp. 1 hour cooldown.
  • Nose for Trouble: The first time you take damage from an enemy, that damage is reduced by 5% of your total health.
  • Rummage your Bag: [Not yet implemented]
  • Vulpera Survival Kit: You have a chance to loot an additional loot bag from humanoids.
WoW Vulpera Pirate Caravan title 1140x445

How to unlock the allied races? Unlocking the two races is quite simple. You just need to be revered with the Voldunai (Vulpera) or revered with Mechagon (Mechagnomes) on a character. Then you can accept the quest to recruit the respective race.

Which race is missing?

Players demand Sethrak: Since the launch of Battle for Azeroth, players have wished for Sethrak to be playable characters. They would also have been the “logical” counterpart to the Vulpera, as they belong to two different factions in Vol’dun. The fact that Sethrak did not make it into the ranks of playable races causes discontent.

The Sethrak were requested – but the dream is currently sinking.

Are you excited for the Vulpera and the Mechagnomes? Or would you have preferred Sethrak?

WoW Classic brings new dungeon – What you need to know about Darkshore

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft Classic has discarded its plans for the release of content. Next week, on October 16, there will be a “new” dungeon for all players with Dire Maul.

To simulate the release of content in World of Warcraft Classic as it was many years ago, the contents will be released gradually. Blizzard actually had a plan for this, which divides WoW Classic into different phases. Phase 2 was supposed to start only when all servers were using a single layer, that is, by the end of the year. However, a small chunk of content is now being brought forward. The instance Dire Maul will be starting soon!

When is Dire Maul coming? The Dire Maul instance (Dire Maul) with its three wings should already be active in the coming week. That would be Wednesday, October 16, for us in Europe. After maintenance, the instance should be available.

Dire Maul – one of the first Mega-Dungeons of WoW

What makes Dire Maul special? Dire Maul is essentially one of the first “Mega-Dungeons” if you will. A multitude of bosses with diverse loot makes this dungeon particularly rewarding for players at level 60.

Whether you take on a “Tribute Run” with the ogres or aim to defeat the spirits and demons of this area, Dire Maul offers high-quality gear that will likely remain “Best in Slot” for many characters for a long time.

WoW Legion Warlock succubus
Warlocks can finally get their mount.

Important for Paladins and Warlocks: Especially Paladins and Warlocks should be excited about the early unlocking of Dire Maul. Because they can only complete their quest chain through this dungeon to get their epic mounts. But Mages are also looking forward to it, as they can learn the spell to conjure water (Rank 7) in Dire Maul.

Thus, the conjured water is just as good as the rations of the Argent Dawn.

Are you looking forward to Dire Maul and the associated quests? Or would you have preferred to have the entire Phase 2 immediately?

Fortnite: Why I expect a huge event and a new map on Sunday

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 4 minutes

Season 10 is coming to an end in Fortnite soon. Next Sunday it will happen. Our author Eilyn explains why she expects a huge live event and a new map for Season 11.

Season X brought some positive and negative surprises. But the storyline was extremely exciting and well told. I was able to find many clues that made me ponder – both about the past and the future of Fortnite:

  • The mixture of past seasons with the current season evoked nostalgic feelings in me. It celebrated the past of Fortnite.
  • But the clues indicate a new map for Season 11. Data miners found some leaks that could indicate this. This in turn suggests an exciting future for Fortnite.
Fortnite Season 10 Title

I think the event will be huge!

What kind of event is this? At the end of Season X, a live event will take place. On October 13th at 8:00 PM it will happen and I am really looking forward to it.

Why I think it will be a huge event:

I have witnessed every live event so far. It is always my personal highlight at the end of a season. But this live event feels different to me, because I think something huge is brewing. These are the reasons:

  • There are several “items” from past live events on the map (The floating island, the rocket, the meteor, the skeleton of Cattus and the “rift ball” at Loot Lake)
  • In Season X we took a journey through the past, perhaps to finally say goodbye to the previous seasons
  • The live event could reach such proportions that the entire map would be destroyed
fortnite-season-10-map-blanko

My theory about the live event:

I have thought about how the live event might unfold. I noticed that there are some items on the map related to past live events. What if all these items play a role in the event?

My theory: It is just before 8:00 PM, the skeleton of Cattus has mysteriously disappeared. The rocket launches at 8:00 PM, it flies to the rift ball at Loot Lake and is teleported there. However, once the rocket is launched, time flows normally again and the meteor strikes in Dusty Depot.

Fortnite-Live-Event-Countdown-S10

The rocket comes out at the other end of the rift and crashes into the floating island. Kevin the cube, which is located in the island, explodes and destroys a large part of the map.

Fortnite Island with Motel Zoom

This creates a huge shockwave and revives the monster from Polar Peak. The robot “Doggus” returns to the island to save the island’s inhabitants. There is another battle between the 2 giants, but this time the monster wins.

It destroys the remaining part of the map.

Fortnite Monster Robot Cinematic Title

The island is now uninhabitable and the Battle Bus takes the players to a new map. We wave gratefully to the bus driver, just like you could see in the loading screen of the “Last Stop Challenges”.

Why I expect a new map in Season 11

Loading screen from “Last Stop Missions: A loading screen has appeared, which could hint at a new map. In the image you can see some skins waving to the Battle Bus.

The place where they are located looks new to me. You can see a large lake surrounded by mountains and hills. I have never seen this place on the current map.

Fortnite-Leaked-Loading-Screen-Season-11

Leaked POIs that could belong to the new map: The data miner Lucas7yoshi found some names of places that suggest a new map. Although the names sound similar to the places that already existed on the map, they are still quite different. I would be happy to see a new version of the familiar places on a new map.

These are the leaked names of the places:

Why I wish for a new map: After playing so many seasons, I would really wish for a new map. It would be nice to finally explore new places again. Moreover, it would be a perfect fresh start, as no one would be familiar with the new map.

A new map will definitely bring fresh wind into the game and provide even more motivation to continue playing Fortnite. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Fortnite, but it would make me happy to explore something completely new again.

Patch 8.3 for WoW brings the Black Empire Ny’alotha

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The next patch for World of Warcraft has been revealed. It concerns the Old God N’Zoth, the Black Empire, and plenty of dark visions.

Quite unexpectedly, the WoW team released a new video today. Game Director Ion Hazzikostas took about 20 minutes to talk not only about WoW Classic but also about the future of Battle for Azeroth. The next patch was revealed: Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth. A lot had hinted at a PTR a few days ago.

What is Patch 8.3 about? The war between Horde and Alliance is over, but N’Zoth has been freed. He is the first Old God that is completely unshackled and is now ravaging Azeroth. This results in many titanic facilities being attacked.

Link to the YouTube content

Old areas are being revamped: N’Zoth’s attacks are also taking place in other locations. Regular attacks occur in Uldum (south of Kalimdor) and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (Pandaria). These areas are being attacked by N’Zoth’s forces and hold new quests, puzzles, secrets, treasures, and other rewards for players as long as an attack is ongoing.

Those who fend off the attacks can subsequently enter the dreams of N’Zoth and see a piece of the world as N’Zoth envisions it – completely corrupted by his power.

Stormwind and Orgrimmar as a scenario: Part of these visions is a complete corruption of Stormwind and Orgrimmar. These are new scenarios for 1-5 players that scale depending on group size. While in the visions, the characters’ mental health decreases, and they suffer ever stronger debuffs and negative effects, forcing them to retreat early.

However, each time players learn a little more about the visions, so their next visit lasts longer. Piece by piece, they can conquer the visions and ultimately cleanse them to claim rewards.

Stormwind and Orgrimmar in the corrupted visions.

Ny’alotha will be the raid: The centerpiece of Patch 8.3 is the Sleeping City Ny’alotha. This will be a new raid, where the Old God N’Zoth himself can be encountered at the end. The raid seems quite large, as there are a total of 12 bosses there.

What happens after that will probably only be revealed at BlizzCon 2019.

When is the patch coming out? There is no exact release date for Patch 8.3 yet. Since the PTR has just activated, it will likely take a few weeks, if not months.

Are you looking forward to Patch 8.3 and the implications of N’Zoth? Or does it leave you rather indifferent?

The best British cyclist in eSports disqualified for “doping” – title lost

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The winner of the “British Cycling’s eRacing Championships” has had his title stripped and received further penalties after a long dispute since his victory in March. The reason: cheating or “digital doping”.

This is the ex-champion: 22-year-old Brit Cameron Jeffers participated in the British Cycling’s eRacing Championships in March 2019 and won the title with the first place. He held this title until recently, when it was revoked by the association.

The tournament deals with virtual cycling as eSports.

Zwift British Cycling’s eRacing Championships

Why the punishment? The reason for the penalty is formally “cheating”. The (digital) bike with which the Brit competed was not earned through regular means but was obtained through an automated program – essentially through a bot.

The “Tron-Bike”, referred to as the “Z1 Concept bike” in the game, can actually only be unlocked through several weeks of training. However, Jeffers used a program that someone from his community offered him to simulate his training. The bike is merely a skin and provides no other advantages.

Thus, he competed with the cheated bike. He stated that he would have normally earned it by the time of the penalty, but he wouldn’t have had it for the tournament. Therefore, he respects and accepts the penalty. In a video, he explained it in more detail.

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

The severity of the penalty: The sanctions for violating the rules include even more than just the revocation of the title:

  • Disqualification from the 2019 tournament
  • 6-month ban from participating in events
  • £250 fine

Jeffers is not hit as hard as athletes in traditional sports, like Lance Armstrong, who lost seven titles due to doping, but it is still noticeable.

Cycling as eSport

How does it work at all? Athletes participate in the tournaments using stationary bikes that look and function similarly to exercise bikes in the gym. Their performance is then transmitted to the game ‘Zwift’, where they compete with an avatar. It works similarly in other disciplines of eRacing.

This avatar can be customized, for example, using the “Tron-Bike” for which Jeffers was banned. This bike is styled after the movie “Tron” with glowing tires. In the game GTA Online, there is also a Tron vehicle, the Shotaro motorcycle.

Otherwise, Zwift has the advantage that real accidents and collisions are not possible, allowing athletes to ride without having to “consider”.

Singleplayer DLC for GTA 5? What Rockstar doesn’t deliver, this mod takes care of

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Players of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) are waiting in vain for new content for the singleplayer. However, a modder regularly adds new missions for free that you can play now.

How does the new content come to the offline mode? For the singleplayer mode of GTA 5, no new content is planned by the developers at Rockstar Games. Already in 2017, Rockstar stated that singleplayer DLC would neither be possible nor necessary (via gameinformer).

However, the modder alebal regularly puts effort into developing new missions for GTA 5. He uses the tool “Mission Maker” for this.

Just recently, his mod was expanded by 10 more missions.

What does the mod bring? The mission pack from alebal now includes 70 missions for the singleplayer in GTA 5. In a trailer, the modder has already shown what content you can expect when you install it.

Included are missions with

  • Limo
  • Submarine
  • Luxury Tanks
  • Attack Helicopters
  • and Supercars

But also handling a sniper rifle and flying with the jetpack seem to be a fixed part of this mission pack. However, this is not the end of development.

As PCGamer reports, the developer adds another 10 missions with each major update. So there is plenty of content for you to play in singleplayer with Michael, Trevor, and Franklin.

Helicopters and tanks were also used by the hackers who controlled this ridiculously large transformer in GTA Online.

How to install the mod?

The requirement: To play the missions, you first need to download the Mission Maker mod (found here at gta5-mods.com). Additionally, download the mission pack from alebal (you can find the mission pack here at gta5-mods.com).

If you encounter problems, browse through the comments on the mod’s page. Creator alebal provides assistance there.

GTA Online Money Title

Is it worth it?

Who should try it? If you are among the players who have played the story of GTA 5 multiple times, then this mod is a good choice for you. Although the wild story of GTA is not continued here, you will experience further adventures with the three characters who remained in your memory through drug abuse, yoga, or wild rides as a towing service.

A completely different way to play GTA 5 brought the game back to the top of TwitchTV in 2019

GTA 5 Michael Franklin Trevor

If you can’t get into the online mode of GTA 5, GTA Online, but want to experience fresh content in the game, then it might be worth trying out the mod for you.

If you also enjoy the online mode, you should take advantage of the next few days while there are big money bonuses:

Class action lawsuit against Fortnite – Game is said to be as addictive as cocaine

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games, the developers behind Fortnite, are now facing a class-action lawsuit. A law firm intends to sue the company for not warning about the addictive nature of their game, allegedly as addictive as cocaine.

This is what the lawsuit looks like: A Canadian law firm represents two parents who believe that their children have become addicted after extensive play of Fortnite, and that this addiction resembles a cocaine addiction.

Because Fortnite does not warn players about the potential risk of addiction, the lawsuit follows.

Fortnite makes children addicted – This is how the law firm explains it

This is the basis of the lawsuit: The lawsuit references a ruling by the Supreme Court of Quebec. The court sentenced a tobacco company in 2015 for not alerting its customers to the harmful effects of smoking.

The same is now being accused of Epic: they did not warn about the potential addiction.

Fortnite is said to be extremely addictive, according to a law firm

Fortnite deliberately aims to make players addicted

This is what the lawyer says: Alessandra Esposito Chartrand, a lawyer at Calax Légal, the suing law firm, explains the step to the site CBC News:

“We dug in and found that there is a good argument for this. […] It is basically the same legal basis as in the case of the tobacco company.”

The lawyer also states that Fortnite is designed to be as addictive as possible and that Epic’s success is based on extensive research and development aimed at creating an addictive game.

“Epic Games, when developing Fortnite, hired psychologists for years – they really dug into the human brain and made an effort to develop it to be as addictive as possible.”

Chartrand also explains what motivated the parents to file this lawsuit. They said to the law firm: “If we had known that it is so addictive that it would ruin our child’s life, we would have never let them start playing Fortnite, or we would have monitored it much more closely.”

Computer Sucht Troll

Is Fortnite really that bad? There are recurring stories, especially of children who seem trapped in Fortnite addiction. For example, a 9-year-old girl was sent to therapy after becoming addicted.

Another child destroyed a car after its parents took Fortnite away from it. Prince Harry also called for a ban on Fortnite, saying children spend too much time on it.

A certain risk of addiction is indeed present for young players. It remains to be seen how the class-action lawsuit against Epic will turn out.

Even professional football players are affected by Fortnite addiction. The coach subsequently cut off the internet:

The Division 2 shows first cinematic about the Pentagon – This will be the next highlight

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

At the annual “Ubiday” events, Ubisoft is inviting fans and cosplayers to a big party in Japan this year. As part of the event, the first cinematic of the upcoming expansion “Episode 2” for The Division 2 was shown. Watch the short film here.

What’s next for The Division 2? The post-apocalyptic shooter The Division 2 is about to receive its biggest expansion yet. Title Update 6 brings many balance changes and revamps some mechanics. Alongside this rather technical update, the free content DLC “Episode 2” will be released.

Episode 2 takes you to the Pentagon

With the new expansion, agents can expect a trip to the Pentagon. However, the form in which the content will come is still unknown. A specific release date for these announced contents has not yet been provided.

More information is expected on Wednesday, October 9, with the weekly community stream “State of the Game”.

At the “Ubiday” in Tokyo, there was a little teaser of the Pentagon in the form of a short cinematic trailer.

Ubiday surprises with Pentagon video

division 2 episode 1

What was said about The Division 2 at Ubiday? At the annual fan and cosplayer meeting “Ubiday”, many Ubisoft developers and employees presented current titles from the publisher. The Division 2 also received a segment with Clint Hocking, Creative Director at Ubisoft, as a guest.

During the interview, the Ubisoft team talked about the current raid “Dark Hours” and discussed the mechanics of individual bosses and the story behind the villains. The already known changes from Title Update 6 were also mentioned.

Hocking also talks about the upcoming content expansion “Episode 2” and surprisingly announces that he has a small trailer with him, showcasing previously unseen material from the Pentagon update.

This cinematic video is about:

  • From 3:37:00, Clint Hocking is on stage
  • At 3:58:30, the Pentagon trailer starts
  • The entire interview lasts until 4:06:00

What does the video show? The cinematic trailer shows a drone shot of the Pentagon at night. Many soldiers from the mercenary group “Black Tusk” can be seen bringing a lot of equipment and supplies into the Pentagon.

Pentagon overrun by Black Tusk

The second shot shows the interior of the Pentagon, probably from the perspective of a Division agent. The voice indicates that these are the “DARPA” labs. “DARPA” is a U.S. technology agency and apparently has labs on the lower floors of the Pentagon in The Division 2.

The task of the “Division agents” now is to find out what technologies have fallen into the hands of the “Black Tusk” with the takeover of the Pentagon.

Where could the excerpt be from? The video is likely part of the introductory mission of the Pentagon and gives agents the reason why the former Department of Defense is now of interest to the Washington factions.

The-Division-2-Expedition

The expansions will be released in mid-October

What else is coming with Title Update 6? In recent weeks, more and more has been revealed about what the developers at Massive want to change with Title Update 6. Countless weapon balancing, comfort features, and more efficient builds are promised.

Report says: 3 player types buy CoD Modern Warfare – Are you an Ultimate Gamer?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is approaching. A gaming analytics provider now shows who will buy the game. This is mainly the ultimate gamers. But what is that and do you belong to this group?

Who provides the analysis? The analyst group “Newzoo” is concerned with the video game market. They have also summarized which are the five most toxic online games . This month they presented a new analysis that deals with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The findings of the analysis are supposed to show which personalities are likely to buy the game.

What does the analysis say? “After the cross-play beta test, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released on October 25, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. From all persons surveyed in our Game Brand Tracker (who have heard of Call of Duty), ‘ultimate gamers’ are the most likely to buy the game. 33% of them stated that they want to buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” says the report from Newzoo.

About a third of all ultimate gamers will therefore jump on this game. But what kind of categorization is that? Do you belong to it as well?

What are ultimate gamers?

This is how ultimate gamers behave: According to analysts, ultimate gamers are those who regularly watch videos about games and also love to learn everything about the newest and best games.

“The ultimate gamer is completely immersed in everything related to games. Whether they spend hours grinding levels in World of Warcraft, buying the latest hardware or console when they are released, or watching Ninja dominate in Fortnite,” explains Newzoo to gamedaily.biz.

What other types of gamers are there?

Which gaming type plays Call of Duty? Additionally, Newzoo took a look at the consumer market to measure interest in the new CoD installment. According to this study, about 10% of “popcorn gamers” and 3% of “time fillers” have played a Call of Duty in the last three months.

The so-called time fillers mainly use video games to pass the time. Such as while waiting for the bus or while watching Netflix. “They primarily play on their phones and enjoy games that are short and easy to operate on their small screens,” defines Kaylee van Geen from Newzoo.

Popcorn gamers play their games alone but often enjoy watching others play.

Newzoo also explained why the game studio Blizzard is now focusing on mobile gaming.

This grandma has been gaming for 40 years and explains why gaming is such a great hobby

The personas compared: The two personalities “time fillers” and “popcorn gamers” tend to be more casual in their gaming habits and rely on mobile experiences. You find the ultimate gamers more often in the PC and console space. For time fillers, a title like Modern Warfare would be less attractive because it requires a significant time investment to learn the mechanics and become competitive.

Which type of these gaming personalities would you consider yourself to be?

Destiny 2: Player has already reached highest season rank, but in a really boring way

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

As soon as Season 8 of Destiny 2 became available, a player managed to reach Level 100. In a post on Reddit, he reveals how he did it.

This is how the Season Pass works: The Pass for Season 8 introduced Season Ranks in Destiny 2 for the first time, similar to what you know from games like Fortnite. Guardians can collect EXP by completing various tasks in Destiny 2 and level up their rank.

When players reach certain levels in the ranks, they receive rewards, such as:

  • EXP Boosters
  • Cosmetics
  • Resources
  • Legendary Gear

So, there is a really hefty amount of EXP that you need to collect to reach Rank 100 and pick up all the rewards of the Season Pass along the way. However, one player has already completed the grind. The user JPDeathBlade was the first to report that he reached Rank 100.

While other Guardians were battling for the World First Kill in the new raid, he seems to have secured the World First Rank 100.

How did he do it? In a thread on Reddit, JPDeathBlade revealed how he was able to reach Rank 100 in less than a week after launch.

The strategy through which he farmed the majority of his EXP was as simple as it was grind-heavy: He spammed the Bounties from Eris Morn continuously. He bought all Bounties for 3,000 Glimmer and headed to the Lost Sector K1 Logistics:

On a good run, I could complete all 5 at the same time. I deleted Tidal Lock and started over. It’s very grind-heavy, but it gives you a level for every 3 to 5 sector runs.

JPDeathBlade on Reddit

This method may be dull, but it’s still very efficient. JPDeathBlade took the extreme grind with humor. When asked in the thread if he knew what the sun looked like, he replied with: “…sun?”

Guardian eris morn shadowkeep Destiny

What comes after Level 100? After reaching Level 100 with the Season Pass and collecting all the rewards along the way, according to JPDeathBlade, you receive so-called “Nostalgic Engrams” every 500,000 EXP. These engrams drop random cosmetics from previous seasons of Destiny 2.

In addition, the Guardian has collected tons of EXP for his Gate Lord’s Eye, which has given him a power bonus of +13.

There are still about two months left until the end of the season.
