Destiny 2: Weekly reset on 01.10. – Shadowkeep is here, the new era begins

Sven Galitzki 1. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

For Destiny 2, today, October 1, 2019, is a very special day. Not only is the Weekly Reset happening today – also the highly anticipated Shadowkeep expansion and the Free-to-Play version Destiny 2: New Light are launching. The third year begins.

Many have been waiting for this: After a massive maintenance and possibly some time in the queue, it is finally here. The Destiny servers are back online. If Update 2.6.0.1 is installed, you can now dive into the new content of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep or try out Destiny 2: New Light, the new Free-to-Play version of the game.

What makes today so special? Today marks a new era for Destiny. With Shadowkeep, Bungie is launching its first creation after the split from Activision. This is expected to be a milestone for the further development of the MMO shooter and is eagerly watched by numerous fans and critics.

There are numerous changes, such as the new armor system Armor 2.0, which aims to bring more RPG elements and depth to the game, or New Light, a free version of Destiny 2 designed to make the universe accessible for many new guardians.

Bungie is consistently working on its own vision of Destiny, and the dawn of Year 3 marks the beginning of what we hope will be a long journey.

The Weekly Reset without Weekly Reset

What about the usual reset? Today, the usual Weekly Reset also takes place. But for the usual information on sources for powerful loot and the weekly activities, you will have to wait another week.

Why? As mentioned at the beginning, a lot will change in Destiny 2 today. We take this as an opportunity to study these changes closely and to calmly adapt our existing format to deliver you the best possible result. And that goes for all guardians – whether you are playing Shadowkeep or exploring New Light.

Next week, you will again have the most important information available – whether in a similar, moderately adapted or completely new form. We hope you understand. After all, we’re doing this for you.

Have fun in the new era: However, we also want to use this article to celebrate and welcome the third year of Destiny 2 together with you.

For many, today marks a great homecoming on the Moon, others are taking their first steps as guardians today, and still others may intend to dust off their old armor. But one thing connects us all: We all want to have as much fun as possible together this evening.

With that in mind, we at MeinMMO wish you all – whether “New Lights” or seasoned guardians – much enjoyment in the new era of Destiny 2. Take care of each other, help the newcomers, and don’t forget that you also started small. As the motto of my clan puts it so beautifully: Together we shine brighter. See you starside, guardians!

Check out our Shadowkeep stream: If you can’t play today but don’t want to miss the launch of Shadowkeep, you can tune into our stream. Nexxoss Gaming will take you along and go through the first steps in the new expansion with you.

Destiny 2: Servers back online – Patch notes and all information about update 2.6.0.1

Tom Rothstein 1. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

After extensive maintenance, the servers for Destiny 2 are finally back online. All information regarding the important times, the update preload on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as the patch notes for update 2.6.0.1 can be found here.

Update: On October 1st at precisely 7:00 PM, the Destiny servers came back online. If you have installed update 2.6.0.1, you can now dive into the new content.

Note: However, it may happen that you initially land in a queue and must wait a little longer. Have fun and good loot, Guardians!

The important times for maintenance: Before the Shadowkeep expansion of Destiny 2 begins on October 1st, extensive maintenance will take place. Bungie has already announced this in advance. Maintenance started on September 30th:

At 6:45 PM the servers went down. By the way, not just for Destiny 2, but also for Destiny 1. Since then, you cannot log in. At that time, year 2 of Destiny 2 ended.
Only today, on October 1st, will the servers come back online. Scheduled for 7 PM. The server downtime amounts to well over 24 hours. At that time, update 2.6.0.1 is expected to be made available worldwide on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 9 PM on October 1st. Until then, there may still be increased login issues and server disruptions.

Keep in mind that the above time estimates are not set in stone. If difficulties arise, Bungie may extend the maintenance. A “soft launch” is less likely, however.

Steam migration and Shadowkeep launch are coming

Why is the maintenance taking so long? During the maintenance for Destiny 2, several things are happening:

Destiny 2 is migrating from Battle.net to Steam on PC
The Shadowkeep launch is being prepared. The fall expansion will start as soon as the servers come back online
Destiny 2 will be available as “New Light” free-to-play
Update 2.6.0.1 will be deployed

What you need to do now: If you have not yet linked your Steam and Battle.net accounts, now is the time. If you want to continue your Guardian journey on PC, you need to initiate the Steam migration on the Bungie site. If you miss it, all your progress made on Battle.net will be lost. All information here:

von Micha Deckert

And what is changing in Destiny 2? On October 1st at 7 PM, several changes will take place in the game. Thanks to “New Light”, many new Guardians will be exploring the game, and you will patiently teach them things like heroic public events.

With Shadowkeep, several new activities will be introduced, like a campaign on the moon, a new raid, new strikes, a new nightfall system, and fresh PvP content. Additionally, there will be new and exciting loot to chase. With an artifact, you can also achieve unlimited power. You can find the most important innovations of Shadowkeep and Season 8 here.

In addition to the new content, Bungie is also working on some of the old content. The most significant change is the Armor 2.0 system, which gives you more freedom in how you want to build and customize your Guardian. Additionally, many other areas of the game will be improved, and we will present some particularly cool changes here:

When does the preload of the big Shadowkeep update start?

Information about the preload: The big update 2.6.0 that you need for Shadowkeep can be downloaded on PS4 and Xbox One during this maintenance:

According to Bungie, update 2.6.0 will be made available during the 24-hour downtime for PS4 and Xbox One. They do not provide a specific time. However, they will announce on Twitter as soon as the preload is possible.
All PC players can download Destiny 2 now via Steam. This preload includes New Light and Shadowkeep. Since New Light is free for everyone, no advance purchase is required for this preload.

What is the download size of update 2.6.0? We discuss the expected download size of Shadowkeep here. The required storage space has been specified as around 165 GB, but the download sizes on Steam are currently significantly smaller at around 80 GB.

Patch Notes for Destiny 2 Update 2.6.0.1

Moreover, the official patch notes for update 2.6.0.1 are now available – however, so far only in English. Until the patch notes are available in German, we have included the original English changelog for you:

Season 3: Crypto and the new map could drastically change Apex Legends

Benedict Grothaus 1. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

Some players have already been able to catch a preview of the new Season 3 of Apex Legends. What was seen there could have a significant impact on the meta established in Season 2: Particularly the new map and the legend Crypto.

What changes could come? With Season 3 of Apex Legends comes both the new map World’s Edge and the new legend Crypto. Both have mechanics that can strongly counter current meta teams.

Additionally, there are some changes to weapons and attachments, which also weaken popular setups.

As a result, new team compositions and top weapons will likely be established, possibly even new strategies around scouting.

Season 3 starts today, on October 1st at 21:00 CEST. With it come most of the changes discussed here.

World’s Edge – The new map in Season 3

What does the map look like? World’s Edge is a new map with several biomes, where green spaces, icy areas, cities, and lava lakes merge. There are several areas with wide spaces but also cities with narrow street gorges and buildings.

This impact could World’s Edge have: The new map has four mechanics that can strongly affect gameplay and players’ tactical decisions:

Lava in the southern part of the map that deals damage over time when touched.
Geysers that serve as jump platforms and launch players into the air.
A train that moves across the map.
A loot room that apparently contains high-quality loot.

These are the impacts on “Early Game”: The lava will likely have the least impact, but at the start of a round, it could be crucial for some fights. Since players can be pushed back significantly by close-quarter attacks, attackers could inflict more damage by shoving opponents into the lava.

Traps from Octane or Wattson can also provide advantages here if the legends trap their enemies between the trap and lava. This opens opportunities for characters with more area control or for Pathfinder with his grapple.

These are the impacts on “Mid Game”: The geysers are useful throughout the game and help every player who is good at moving quickly. They provide a boost even for slower legends like Gibraltar, allowing them to move faster to ambush a team.

In addition, there is a train that is apparently in constant motion. Anyone caught by it is likely to die instantly, so teams must always keep an eye open when fighting on the tracks. Other teams could deliberately lure them into a trap there.

Loot Room could tilt games

These are the impacts on “End Game”: However, the probably most important change is the loot room. This has only been briefly shown in the gameplay trailer. Crypto shoots a drone that drops a crate with a keycard.

This card apparently opens a secret room where epic and legendary loot is plentiful. This could become a true “game changer” for both heavily outmatched teams and those needing a comeback.

Teams that have had bad luck with loot throughout the round and have never encountered opponents can gear up here and potentially score big at the end. Those who are already doing well might find the last item they need for victory here.

The new legend Crypto

What can Crypto do? Crypto’s abilities all revolve around his drone. The drone is his active ability and it functions as the basis for his ultimate ability EMP and his passive ability.

The drone can be freely controlled, passively reveals enemies and items, can mark them, and even collect banners from fallen allies. It can also be placed down to serve as a passive lookout.

This is how Crypto could change the meta: While Crypto himself is stationary and needs protection, his drone is extremely mobile. Thus, he could reveal previously fortified positions of popular meta teams without himself being in real danger.

Additionally, the EMP apparently originates from his drone. So once he reveals a position, he can fly his drone in, trigger the EMP, and destroy all traps, damage shields, and stun opponents to prepare for an assault.

Since the currently strongest combos aim to anchor in good positions and only reposition when necessary, Crypto could cause significant upheaval here.

The weapon changes

What will change? Both the attachments “Skullpiercer” and “Disruptor Rounds” (new with Season 2) will disappear. This will significantly weaken some of the most popular weapons (Alternator, Longbow, Wingman).

While the Longbow and Wingman will do more headshot damage on their own, the effects remain to be seen. In contrast, two new attachments are coming: Double Tap (G7/EVA-8) for two shots in quick succession and Anvil Receiver (R-301/Flatline) for stronger attacks in single-shot mode.

With these changes, some of the most popular combinations from Season 2 are nerfed or even entirely removed. The changes in general make it seem like fights will shift to medium range rather than taking place at close or very long ranges.

What do you think of the changes? Do you believe the meta will change significantly?

Destiny is so successful that it leaves unsuspecting players amazed

Schuhmann 1. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Shortly before the release of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, a fact became known: The franchise has been hugely successful in sales in the USA since 2014. The extent of the success surprised some players on reddit, who didn’t realize how big this Destiny actually is.

This is the fact that astonished players: Mat Piscatella is an analyst for the market research group “The NPD Group.” They closely track how games perform in retail sales in the USA. They analyze the sales figures.

He tweeted before the release of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep two facts:

Destiny has been the number 2 of the first-person shooter franchises in sales in US dollars since its release in September 2014. Only Call of Duty is stronger.
If you look beyond just first-person shooters, Destiny is number 7 during this period of the last 5 years in sales of game series tracked by the NPD Group – that is, in the USA.

https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1178695329278873601

Shit, I didn’t know it was that big

This is the reaction: The numbers are discussed at reddit/Games. Usually, there is not a big fan of “multiplayer shooters” or titles like Destiny, which lean towards “MMO.”

In the large subreddit, strong single-player titles like Skyrim or Fallout: New Vegas are traditionally revered.

The comments that receive the most approval there are astonished:

“Damn, I knew Destiny had fans, but number 2? Wow.”
“Shit, I didn’t think Bungie would surpass Halo in a million years when they left Microsoft.”

One who presumably actively plays Destiny 2 says:

“Destiny is like Diablo 3 – it was bad at launch, but the first expansion really polished the game.”

Not everyone is aware of Destiny’s success

This is what’s behind it: For us at MeinMMO and the readers here, it’s a bit strange to observe such reactions. We have been reporting on Destiny for 5 years. The game series has always had a prominent position on our site.

But in the “gaming mainstream,” many such “MMO-like” games like Destiny are viewed critically. It is believed that the games repeat themselves too often and do not offer enough content.

Bungie says: They are transforming Destiny and creating a new, different game

von Benedict Grothaus

The perspective of “non-Destiny players” is often very different from that of fans.

Especially since Destiny has been negatively portrayed in the press many times due to drought phases, a weird story, and various problems.

Destiny fans have often taken to the barricades in the last 5 years and voiced their anger loudly. From the outside, one might get the impression that the franchise is not doing very well.

A news item about this long-term success of Destiny is already a rarity.

There are also explanations for the success found on reddit:

On the one hand, the game simply appeals to many target groups – PvP fans of Halo, RPG players, people who like dungeons in MMO style, and also casual players, who just enjoy shooting aliens in the face.
On the other hand, you can criticize many things about Destiny, but it did release a new game or expansion every September, which helps with the sales of the brand.

What is Neverwinter? Neverwinter is a Free2Play MMORPG based on the fantasy role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons”. It was released on April 30, 2013, and has since built a fanbase.

In May, Neverwinter ranked 5th among the most popular MMORPGs on Steam, thus having more players on the platform than the new Legends of Aria or Life is Feudal.

Neverwinter regularly receives new and free expansions. These bring new stories and areas, but also completely new features, such as the raid and the new playable race in Uprising.

Neverwinter in Conflict

How is the mood in the MMORPG currently? The previous update 16 titled Undermountain brought many changes that made the game more modern, but some players felt it made it too easy. These changes also focused on newcomers.

That’s why many referred to Uprising as Mod 16.5, because it is not a large, standalone campaign, but simply adds many supplements to the previous update.

However, the update 17, which has now been released for consoles, is said to be significantly better according to a reddit post by Adinos from August. He particularly highlights the new appearance system, which has saved him a lot of inventory space. The new raid is also said to be challenging.

Negatively, he and other commentators see the small changes in crafting and the overall lack of content. From these players’ perspective, the update is too small.

Our author Andreas Bertits took a closer look at the MMORPG at the beginning of the year and conducted a small test:

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

What is Destiny 2: Shadowkeep? Under the title Shadowkeep, developer Bungie brings its second major expansion for the shooter Destiny 2. The German title of the addon is Fortress of Shadows. You do not need any previous expansions of Destiny 2 to play Shadowkeep.

In this expansion, Eris Morn returns. She unleashed a power that has long been dormant beneath the surface of the moon. She cannot control it herself.

The Guardians’ task is to return to the moon and help Eris eliminate the lurking nightmares there. They must succeed before the evil forces leave the moon and plunge humanity into an age of darkness.

The moon zone is said to be twice the size of that in Destiny 1. You will find the raid that the expansion brings at the Black Garden. New weapons and armors with an astronaut theme are also part of the expansion. Once you reach the endgame, amongst other things, you will be faced with a new activity called “Nightmare Hunt,” designed for up to 3 players with different difficulty levels.

Fortnite apparently had a great plan for the mechs – But it backfired on them

Eilyn Rapp 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games had planned the mechs in Fortnite. The robots were part of the story and were supposed to serve a purpose. However, the community was not at all excited about this plan.

What were the mechs supposed to do in the game? Epic Games had had a plan for the mechs from the beginning. They were supposed to be part of the story, which is usually told in the background. But it quickly became clear that they were too powerful.

At the beginning of Season X, the robots were introduced. At first, it wasn’t noticeable that they were part of the story. But in the last weeks of the season, clues appeared that the scientist needs these robots to work on his rocket and the rift beacons.

The mechs explode on landing!

What happened to the mechs? After the update 10.40, the mechs explode shortly after they land. They may still be displayed on the map at first, but as soon as they touch the ground, they explode and disappear from the map.

If you now go to the big computer in Dusty Depot, you can see a virus on the screen that was implanted in the robots. This virus triggers the explosion. The virus was probably activated by the scientist.

Community wants the mechs out of the game, Epic remains stubborn

Why doesn’t the community want the mechs? Shortly after the mechs were introduced in the game, players noticed that these robots were way too strong. Many complained and urged Epic Games to remove the mechs from the game. Even the hashtag #RemoveTheMechs trended on Twitter.

Epic tried to accommodate the community and nerfed the mechs. But players were not satisfied with that at all. Throughout the entire season, players found new bugs caused by the mech. The players didn’t want a nerf anymore; the mechs should disappear from the game!

Why didn’t Epic remove the mechs? Now it’s clear why Epic Games never completely removed the mechs from the game. The robots were part of the story. They had actually thought of a cool story for the mechs, but they did not anticipate the community’s reaction.

They tried to find a middle ground, but this did not resonate well with the players. Now the mechs are finally “out of the game” and the story could be told.

What do you think? Did you notice that the mechs were part of the story?

Twitch: Blink-182 erupts at TwitchCon “Fuck Mixer” – Ninja takes it personally

Noah Struthoff 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The punk rock band Blink-182 and Fortnite streamer Ninja are surely no longer friends. At a concert at TwitchCon, the musicians made negative comments about Mixer, which the streamer probably took personally.

This is about these musicians: The band Blink-182 has been one of the most successful punk rock bands in the world for years and became known in Germany with songs like “All the Small Things” and “First Date.”

Recently, they performed at TwitchCon, the expo of the streaming giant Twitch. During the concert, lead singer Mark Hoppus said, “I just want to take a short moment and say fuck Mixer,” which was met with much applause.

Ninja reacts with concern to this statement

This is what Ninja says: In a livestream, Fortnite streamer was asked by colleague Reverse2k what he thought of Blink-182’s statement.

Ninja initially didn’t know what was meant, after all, he wasn’t at the event and preferred to complain about it from home. But once he was informed, Ninja responded personally affected by the statement.

Did they really say that? Why would they do that? That’s really toxic. […] Well, I think it’s time for me to stop listening to Blink-182.

The streamer even goes a step further and considers it a personal attack on himself. “Unintentionally, they are basically saying fuck Ninja. […] There is really no other reason for them to talk about Mixer.”

Why does he see the attack so personally? Ninja has faced a lot of criticism lately. His switch from Twitch to Mixer has been poorly received by many fans who accused him of greed.

There were even clips, that mocked Ninja’s departure. Now that Ninja is the face of Mixer, he takes many attacks against the platform personally. After all, many people know this streaming service only because of Ninja.

Two other Fortnite players were recently called out by their boss. They simply left too much mess behind:

An “NPC doctor” in Fallout 76 is so popular that no one wants to kill him

Benedict Grothaus 1. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

One player has completely dedicated himself to role-playing and interacting with other players in Fallout 76. However, from his role as a doctor soon became a whole corporation with proper planning.

What kind of players are these? These characters are players who have chosen a specific role in Fallout 76 that they embody – similar to how a player did with the most annoying character from Fallout 4.

They then practice more or less proper professions in Appalachia, such as a whole police station or in this case a doctor with staff. The original creator is the player Brent “CJ Martin” Fairchild.

https://www.facebook.com/DrCJMartin/videos/774603876230085/

CJ Martin, as his character is called in Fallout 76, offers his “patients” several services, even distributes quests, and has his own employees who work for him and whom he pays. Just like a real NPC, although the latter come with Wastelanders.

What does a doctor do in the nuclear wasteland?

This is what CJ Martin offers: The list of services that players can receive from CJ Martin is clear but significant. Players can for example:

Purchase stimpaks and chems from him and his vending machines
Get targeted mutations induced by him through radiation weapons
Have their injuries, radiation exposure and diseases healed
Get informed about the latest changes (patch notes) and how they affect their abilities
Collect information about the ideal perks and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. values for their builds (especially for new players)

CJ Martin is always in his lab coat or other medical clothing in his camp helping. He often sets up his camp right next to impact sites of nuclear warheads to support players battling the Queen of the Burnt Beasts there.

This is how he runs his business: The “Doc” claims to sell over 20,000 units of stimpaks, chems, and other goods per week (via Polygon). He can only manage this by hiring other players.

They then provide him with tick blood for stimpaks or other items, unless players donate them to him. Donations and investments from other players also occur.

To provide for his employees, CJ Martin has hired a cook who takes care of food and drink. His employees are even paid for their work. They receive wages, holiday pay, and various bonuses for their work.

All of this is almost like a real company that he has built within the game. It is managed via Google Docs and various apps.

The “Doc” even gives out quests and is a “Companion”

What tasks can one complete for him? Those who do not work for the Doc can still complete tasks for him. He likes to give players quests, which are mostly escort quests. He also offers himself as a companion for adventures.

For the quests, he deliberately overloads himself so that he is slower, and players are to bring him back to his camp while protecting him along the way. He cannot fight himself, but supplies his bodyguards with chems and food.

The player knows Appalachia well, as he grew up there. Accordingly, he likes to take detours on the way home or wander through areas with particularly tough enemies. The harder and longer the route, the higher the reward at the end.

The community and their “Doc”

This is how the role is received: Players are enthusiastic about the Doc. Many players know him, and according to Polygon, his server and camp fill up as soon as he logs in. He even enjoys protection from all factions that players embody.

The various raider factions (also players) that terrorize Appalachia sometimes fail in the process see the Doc as a kind of neutral party. He provides them with drugs at a low cost – so they make sure nothing happens to him.

There was even once a bounty placed on the Doc. However, the person who wanted to place it was deliberately ignored by all bounty hunters. No one wanted to take the job, despite the immense reward.

This is how players and the Doc relate to each other: CJ Martin himself says that in Fallout 76, it is primarily about community and cooperation. That is why he offers his help without even asking for payment.

This solidarity also comes back. As he recounts, once his game CD broke. By the next morning, his Facebook and PS4 messages were filled with PSN gift cards so that he could continue playing.

Battlefield 5 brings long-awaited remake of a cult map – fans celebrate

Noah Struthoff 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A new trailer for Battlefield 5 shows that an absolute fan favorite is returning to the game: The map Operation Metro makes a comeback in a new edition.

What does Battlefield 5 show? The shooter will feature a new map, which many players of the Battlefield series will likely find familiar. It’s called Operation Underground and strongly resembles the cult map Operation Metro from Battlefield 3.

Fans are celebrating, as many of them have spent unforgettable hours here, and now the map is returning in the style of World War-themed gameplay.

Link to the YouTube content

Already in June, the map was announced as part of Chapter 4. It is now set to be released in October 2019 as planned. This is important, as Chapter 4 received a poor reception recently.

This is the map: While Operation Metro in Battlefield 3 was set in the Parisian underground, the journey now takes us to Germany. This is clearly indicated by the German signs hanging on the walls.

The setting is also tied to the World War scenario, with details everywhere recalling the Third Reich.

The map is tight and has many points where you will encounter enemies directly. You can even dive for a moment to surprise enemies from behind.

Why the map is so popular: While in Battlefield one often engages in prolonged battles and can dominate with vehicles, Operation Metro has made a clear cut here. It revolves around many and close-range confrontations, a lot of action, and no significant strategy. This made the map so popular that it was also playable in Battlefield 4.

The map is returning and promises at least from the trailer a similarly high level of action.

How do players react? The fans of Battlefield 5 are ecstatic. The trailer is being received positively, and the fans have reason to be happy.

We show you some reactions from Reddit:

“I can’t wait to dive in with all of you, let’s go!”
“Trust me, this is a great shotgun map”
“The trailer is damn awesome!”
“They make SO good trailers”
“Finally a good reason to reinstall the game”

When will the map be released? Starting October 3rd, you can play Operation Underground. There will be a free update for this.

Recently, there was stress in Battlefield 5 due to a new update:

Borderlands 3 nerfs FL4K and Amara – But Moze can still one-hit everything

Larissa Then 1. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Borderlands 3 released a balancing hotfix last weekend. It buffs the allegedly weak Zane, but most of all it nerfs FL4K and Amara. The gunner Moze has been spared.

This is what the hotfix does: Borderlands 3 introduced a hotfix on September 27. This should balance out some strengths and weaknesses. For Agent Zane, the clone and drone were buffed.

The Beastmaster FL4K, on the other hand, had to endure a significant setback. His most effective action skill has been reduced in duration and intensity. Also, Siren Amara has not escaped unscathed. She heals less and can no longer reduce her enemies’ damage as much.

However, it seems that one character has been forgotten by the hotfix, the gunner Moze. She has a very powerful build that could overshadow the other characters in the endgame now.

Moze with 1-HP build to One-Hit-Queen

This is what the gunner can do: Moze is a soldier who comes with a lot of firepower and a teddy mech. Her skill trees can improve her shield and damage. Additionally, they can enhance her ammo regeneration, area damage, or her action skill.

This is about the solo build: If you focus on her talent trees Demolition Woman and Revenge Shield, you can kill many enemies with one shot (One-Hit). For this, you best need an artifact that reduces your health to 1 health point (HP) – that’s right. Additionally, this item doubles your shield.

With the right skills you deal more damage with Moze the less health you have. 1 HP is very little health, so it packs quite a punch. With your huge shield, which you further improve through your skill tree, you are almost immortal.

Mixed feelings in the community

This is what the fans demand: For most, Moze is not a problem with the hotfix. Many discussions still revolve around the agent. The supposedly too weak Zane for the endgame has been buffed. Fans are happy about this, but it seems that the hotfix does not have the desired effect:

It’s great that Zane has been buffed. Unfortunately, it has completely missed the core of the issue. Better than nothing, I don’t want to complain.
TiTaak about Reddit

With Amara, there are hardly any complaints. However, FL4K fans are not really excited. Some are appalled that FL4K’s best build is no longer playable. Others demand buffs for FL4K’s two other skill trees:

I would like a possible pet build, to be honest. Especially the +100% bonus on the pet feels like wasting 5 skill points.
crayonsnachas about Reddit

Moze is doing quite well. In terms of gunner, there is only a call for more power for her “Iron Bear”:

I wish the bear could be just a pet. Or at least without getting in, so it doesn’t steal my damage when I get into it myself.
DontBeThatGuy09 about Reddit

This is how it is with Moze: So it seems that no one really cares that Moze was not nerfed – on the contrary. Players even wish for a buff, though not for her, but for her mech.

The gunner is a strong character with a powerful endgame build. However, this is equipment-dependent if one wants to utilize it optimally. It takes effort to farm all items, and that should be rewarded – with one-hits.

If you feel like farming some bosses now, here are tips for legendary loot:

Teamfight Tactics: This is the strongest combo in 9.19 – Are you using it yet?

Alexander Leitsch 1. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The new Patch 9.19 for Teamfight Tactics has been out for almost a week now. It has noticeably changed the meta – strongly in favor of a combo of Shapeshifters and Wilds.

Update December 2019: This guide refers to the state of Patch 9.19. Teamfight Tactics is currently in Patch 9.23. You can find an updated guide for the best combos here.

Which combo is currently the strongest? The currently strongest combo from Patch 9.19 was originally developed as a counter to the Yordle champions. It relies on 4 Wilds, so opponents cannot evade your attacks.

The combo is supplemented by Assassins for damage, Shapeshifters, and 2 Hextechs. As champions, you need:

Jayce – Hextech/Shapeshifter
Nidalee – Wild/Shapeshifter
Gnar – Wild/Shapeshifter
Warwick – Wild/Brawler
Rengar – Wild/Assassin
Zed or Akali – Ninja/Assassin
Pyke – Pirate/Assassin
Vi – Hextech/Brawler

More on the topic

Teamfight Tactics proudly presents player numbers – Did LoL help to become even bigger

von Alexander Leitsch

What makes the combo so strong? This now quite popular combo has several significant advantages:

It is very cheap (mainly 1- and 2-gold units)
It is easy to obtain and you don’t have to rebuild your team – you can keep the starting champions
You are not necessarily dependent on items, as in other combos.
The bonus of the 3 Shapeshifters has been spared from the nerf of the new patch.
Hextechs can disable game-changing items for your opponents.

They are currently hard to counter. Only 6 Knights and 4 Imperials can beat them, but this combo is hard to get and will beat everything else on the battlefield anyway.

This is how you play the currently strongest combo

How does the early game go? The combo is so simply structured that you can’t go wrong at the start of the game. In the first carousel, you should try to get one of the following four items:

Giant’s Sword
Combat Gloves
Spatula
Chain Vest

In the following rounds, you simply collect the champions you need for the combo and bring them onto the field. Until you find Gnar, Ahri can take the position of the fourth Wild.

Vi usually enters the field as the eighth and last champion, but can be collected beforehand.

More on the topic

6 Tips about Teamfight Tactics that I wish I had known beforehand

von Alexander Leitsch

Which champions should I bring to level 3? In this specific combo, it should be possible to get at least two or even more champions to level 3. The most useful are:

Pyke
Rengar
Zed (if you get him to level 3, otherwise switch to Akali)
Vi

Which items are important for the combo? The combo of Wilds, Assassins, and Shapeshifters is very variable in items. However, extremely useful are:

Pyke with 2x Frozen Heart and Morellonomicon
Rengar with Bloodthirster and Guardian Angel
Gnar with Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Dragon Claw, and Warmog’s Armor

Additionally, you can also give Akali/Zed damage items like Infinity Edge.

How do I position the combo correctly? Assassins thrive on being able to jump on opponents. They should therefore move away from the edge. Accordingly, you should place all champions as far down as possible.

Will I always be first with the combo? Based on experience, you land in the top 4 very consistently with Wilds, Assassins, and Shapeshifters, usually top 2.

But victories are also possible with the combo.

What alternative combos are currently available? Shortly after the release of Patch 9.19, we introduced you to seven very strong combos. We have adjusted this list, and it is still current.

Pokémon GO has not had PokéStop submissions for 5 days – What’s going on?

Noah Struthoff 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO players can no longer submit PokéStops for a few days now, but what seemed to be a small problem turned out to be quite significant.

What is going on with the submissions? Five days ago, on September 26, Niantic tweeted that they had to disable PokéStop submissions. So no new Stops can be submitted anymore.

Some players believed that this was just a short-term issue, but so far there have been no updates and the feature is still down.

What is behind the removal of the feature

Why is the function down? Niantic explained in their tweet that there is a problem with the photo function. This is, of course, necessary when one wants to submit a Stop. Because of this, they temporarily shut down the function.

Now, however, various trainers are waiting for news regarding the issue. For 5 days there have been no updates, and the function remains lost.

There are generally problems: It is possible that the photo function is not the only issue Niantic needs to fix. Many trainers report that their submissions are not being processed at all.

A trainer from Argentina even reports on Reddit that none of their submissions have gone through for 7 months. Their city has not received a new PokéStop, even though there are many places that meet the guidelines for a Stop.

But frustration is also great in Germany. In our Facebook group, players repeatedly report that they have had no success with their submissions. Other trainers, however, have no problems with it.

Niantic is also currently dealing with other issues. There have reportedly been various account suspensions that were unjustified:

4 Reasons Why Every Shooter Fan Should Try Destiny 2: New Light

Sven Galitzki 1. October 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

Destiny 2 will today be Free-to-Play – specifically in the form of New Light. And for those who, as shooter fans, have overlooked the full-price title or haven’t even been aware of it, there are some good reasons to check out the free version.

What is Destiny 2: New Light? New Light is the official name for the Free-to-Play version of Destiny 2.

It launches today, on October 1st, simultaneously with the Shadowkeep expansion – the planned time is 7:00 PM German time. However, due to extensive maintenance work, there may be a delay.

What is Destiny 2? Destiny 2 is a multiplayer online shooter with MMO elements from Bungie. It is played from the first-person perspective. The game launched on September 6, 2017, on PS4 and Xbox One and was released on October 24, 2017, for PC. Now the base game along with many additional contents is going Free-to-Play.

In Destiny 2, you take on the role of a Guardian. Roughly speaking, it’s about protecting the remnants of humanity from various dangers posed by hostile alien races, looting new weapons and gear, and making your character increasingly powerful.

The adventures take Guardians in Destiny 2 to different planets, grant them new powerful abilities, and offer plenty of loot to collect.

That’s why every shooter fan should try Destiny 2: New Light

If you are a shooter fan but haven’t played Destiny 2 yet or have set it aside for a while? Then you should definitely (re)consider checking out Destiny 2: New Light with its release. Because for anyone who has even a slight interest in first-person shooters, it could be worth a look. And we’ll tell you why.

Excellent gunplay that is second to none

The Destiny series is particularly known for its unique gunplay. Especially on consoles, the feeling of using weapons is still unmatched to this day, but it doesn’t hide on PC either.

The combination of various weapons, target optics, sounds, vibrations, and visual effects, along with animations, creates a truly unique gameplay feel and hit feedback.

You can literally feel how you hit the enemy when you secure a kill with a critical hit, how the recoil behaves, or how cumbersome a weapon can feel compared to another.

For those who value gunplay in shooters, Destiny 2: New Light is certainly a good choice.

Destiny 2: New Light is completely free – you can’t go wrong

The cool thing about Destiny 2: New Light is that you can just try it out. Because New Light is completely free of charge. You won’t have to pay anything for the start, nor will there be any hidden costs awaiting you. If you don’t like the experience, you can simply put the game aside. You really can’t go wrong with it.

You’ll only incur costs if you resort to microtransactions or purchase additional game content. The microtransactions are, by the way, optional and purely cosmetic. They are the same for both the free New Light version and the full game.

Destiny 2: New Light offers gigantic scope – plenty to do for everyone

For a free-to-play game, Destiny 2: New Light offers an enormous amount of content. The scope is truly gigantic and easily provides 100 hours or more until you have really seen, played, and thoroughly tried everything if you’ve never had anything to do with Destiny 2 before.

There’s truly something for everyone: From story missions and open-world exploration to strikes (mini-dungeons) and raids, the most challenging group content offers PvE players a lot of exciting content.

PvP enthusiasts can let loose in various modes and on numerous maps of the Crucible – the PvP area of Destiny 2. There are no restrictions – you have exactly the same PvP content available as in the “full” game.

If you’re into a mix of PvE and PvP, you can try the Gambit mode, where you face off against AI in teams, but also face Guardian duels.

What exactly is included in Destiny 2: New Light is detailed in this extensive overview article and the following infographic: Destiny 2: New Light – These content features the Free-to-Play version at launch

Keep in mind that numerous players spent over 100€ on the contents of New Light in the years 2017 and 2018. What is missing are, in principle, content from the major Forsaken expansion as well as from Shadowkeep. Moreover, there are no limits to your leveling. You can reach the same level as players in the full-price title.

Like New Light? You can jump in fully at any time

With New Light, you now have a great opportunity to get a really deep insight into the world of Destiny 2 – with all the important systems and core mechanics of the game completely for free. If Destiny 2: New Light convinces you and sparks your interest for more, you can expand your experience at any time.

You can purchase various optional contents such as individual seasons or expansions separately and truly play what interests you. You don’t have to own all available content to continue your journey in the Destiny universe.

You always keep your progress. So if you switch from Free-to-Play to Buy-to-Play, your options simply expand, and you can seamlessly continue your journey as a Guardian. Everything else remains the same and preserved – previous characters, quest progress, gear, levels, achievements, purchases.

Learn more about your options to expand your Destiny 2 experience here:

Are you going to give Destiny 2 a chance with New Light and check it out? Or can even a Free-to-Play version not make you a Guardian? By the way, you can find more details about Destiny 2: New Light here:

Team leader exposes 2 young Fortnite professionals: They mess up his place

Schuhmann 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite , the head of the professional team 100 Thieves exposed two young pros on Twitter. Although both earned $900,000 each through Fortnite at the World Championship, they littered the team house. Fast food wrappers are scattered everywhere. The training arena is a pigsty.

The team head accuses them of: In a video on Twitter, Matt “Nadeshot” Haag shows the cluttered training and living area in the team house of 100 Thieves.

He says: “This is what happens when you let the Fortnite team stay all alone in a wonderful house.”

It sounds a bit ominous when he says: “Ceice, Elevate. We will talk about this. This is really disgusting.”

The camera pans over fast food packaging, showing dirty dishes. Glasses, cups, and trash pile up on the ping pong table, on the tables, and even in front of the computers. It looks terrible.

In the end, you see the astonished expression of an adult looking at it.

The player Elevate’s real name is Hayden Kruger. He is a Canadian teenager who has earned nearly a million dollars in prize money with Fortnite. Just finishing 3rd in the duo at the Fortnite World Championship earned him $900,000, with some taxes on that.

The Division 2: Players are dying as quickly on the PTS as in Call of Duty

Maik Schneider 1. October 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In The Division 2, the testing server phase (PTS) is coming to an end and the next major update is just around the corner. Agents have tried a lot and now found a build that takes out players in PvP as quickly as in first-person shooters.

What is happening on the testing servers? The next major Title Update 6 is approaching, and diligent PC agents can already try out some of the planned changes from the upcoming update on a testing server (PTS).

The PTS phase ends today, October 1st at 2 PM, and Title Update 6 is set to release alongside the content expansion “Episode 2” in mid-October. Many unknown things were discovered on the PTS, and players tested builds, reproduced bugs, and vented in the forums.

The PTS agent “McGuns17” has discovered a nasty build for the Dark Zone, which hopefully won’t make its way into the official update.

Time-to-Kill at Call of Duty Level

Recommended editorial content

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

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

Link to the YouTube content

Video by YouTuber “McGuns17”
He shows parts of his PTS builds and some incredibly fast kills

What kind of build is this? The build focuses on the new strength of submachine guns and has high critical values. With ten red damage attributes, “McGuns17” brings his critical stats to a lethal level and can deal an unbelievable amount of damage in mere fractions of a second. His human opponents in the Dark Zone die as quickly as one would expect only from games like Call of Duty. The Time to Kill is almost on par with a fast first-person shooter.

These are the main components of the build

The weapon is the MP5 submachine gun with about 23,400 damage
3x Wyvern Wear armor
- 7% Critical Damage
- 10% Critical Chance
2x Solokov armor
- 8% Critical Damage
- 10% SMG Damage
Chest piece with the talent “Berserker”
- more damage at low armor
Backpack with the new talent “Spark”
- Increases damage on skill hits
10 red damage attributes for a total of:
- 60% Critical Chance
- +78% Critical Damage
- +30% Total Weapon Damage

In the video, “McGuns17” does not show all of his equipment, but makes it clear that this combination is enough to be an absolute killer in PvP.

How does this even work?

How can he achieve such high damage? With the new update, several mechanics are being revised, and one of the most significant changes is the new function of “Passive Talents”.

Until now, the values of these talents could be stacked, meaning that with two parts equipped with the same talent, the value would double. This is no longer possible with the “Passive Talents” – but all values of these talents have been significantly strengthened.

This particularly benefits the two passive talents “Critical” and “Surgical”, as well as the popular “Devastating”. After the update, they will likely look like this:

Critical
- +20% Critical Hit Damage (previously +5%)
Surgical
- +15% Critical Hit Chance (previously +5%)
Devastating
- +10% Weapon Damage (previously +5%).

The talents are only available on gloves or holsters, but already provide a strong foundation for crit builds.

Testing servers generate strong crit builds

With a good crit chance holster, “Surgical” and the 14.5% critical hit chance from the MP, one quickly reaches 45% crit chance and is usually only a damage attribute away from the 60% maximum.

This build was assembled on the testing server within two weeks, and “McGuns17” thinks there is even more potential. For example, his mask still has the PvE talent “Ruthless”, which offers no advantage in PvP.

The community partially expected this

What do the players think? The mood in the post about this video on reddit ranges from schadenfreude over the alleged incompetence of the developers to the hope that the testing servers will uncover extreme cases like this to prevent them from making it to the actual release.

Don’t worry, in 3-6 months Massive will do another balance pass. Then another and another and another.
ToeCtter on reddit

Diversity only applies in PvE, in PvP it’s all about the meta and without it you are dead meat. That will never change.
wordlife96 on reddit

Lol, that’s going to be nerfed before TU6 comes out, I’ll bet
frohb on reddit

How the talents and weapons will look with the new Title Update 6 remains to be seen. However, if cases like this already occur on the testing server, it should at least give the developers something to think about.

What else did the testing server have to offer? With the end of the testing servers, the developers can focus entirely on the release of the major Title Update 6. You can read about the highlights that the testing server had to offer here.

Do you think this build could really make it into the game with TU6? Or do you think the developers will react in time?

This is probably the meanest sniper kill possible in Overwatch

Cortyn 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Sometimes it’s all about winning in Overwatch and you can gladly use every sneaky trick available to you…

Actually, matches in Overwatch are decided by various factors. The skill of individual players, their teamwork, and adaptability are probably the most important traits. But now and then players secure victory by resorting to methods their opponents simply do not expect – like using the chat. Streamer Beeftipsy took advantage of this.

What happened? During the fight on the map Volskaya Industries, Beeftipsy positioned himself at one of the side entrances to stop the enemy defenders. However, since agile characters were in constant motion, landing a headshot would have been difficult without revealing his position through some missed shots. But how do you get an opponent to simply stand still for a moment? Right, you address them in the chat.

That’s exactly what he did, typing “Hey Ashe” in the global chat. After Ashe stood still to respond with “???”, it was already done. That brief moment of standing still was enough time for him to land a headshot and send Ashe back to the respawn room.

Streamer acknowledges his “mistake”: Beeftipsy apparently feels a bit guilty afterward, admitting, “I’ll probably go to hell for this.” Nevertheless, he seemed to have a lot of fun with it. Quite unlike Ashe, who, after her hit, expresses her anger in the chat and lets loose her fury.

What do you think of such an approach? Is it mean, unsportsmanlike, and should it be banned? Or is it just a fun tactic that only works a few times anyway?

Too hard or just right? Anointed enemies divide players of Borderlands 3

Max Handwerk 1. October 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Anointed enemies are among the toughest nuts to crack in Borderlands 3. Are they perhaps too strong?

These are anointed enemies: Once you’ve completed the story in Borderlands 3, there are several ways to occupy yourself in the game’s endgame. Both the True Vault Hunter mode and the various Mayhem levels can keep you quite busy.

The Mayhem mode not only makes everything harder and introduces random elements into the world of Borderlands 3. You will also encounter significantly more “anointed” enemies.

The “anointed” are enemies that are even stronger than, for example, badass enemies – but not bosses. They have abilities such as specific immunities or invulnerability phases, the ability to teleport, or special elemental attacks. In short: They are damn difficult to take down.

Anointed enemies are brutally hard to defeat in the endgame

This is how strong anointed enemies are in Mayhem mode: If you have activated the hardest level, Mayhem 3, the name says it all. A fight against an anointed enemy can become a brutal stand-off. Because: The various random modifications in Mayhem 3 can also provide you with additional disadvantages.

For example, it can happen that your weapons suddenly only deal half damage in the area where the enemy is located. Or that the element you’re geared towards suddenly doesn’t do much.

At the same time, an “anointed” can ambush you, exhibiting just the right immunities against your build. Then you can expect a really long fight, which may not end in your favor.

Borderlands 3 players are at their wit’s end – or?

This is how players cope with the challenge: On reddit, there are lively discussions about “Anointed Enemies.” Most players agree that it’s cool that there is no universally applicable build that steamrolls everything in its path. However, many players view the anointed enemies as a fight against windmills. This means: Many players find the battles against the quasi-bosses sometimes just too tough – even at a high level.

Several Zane players on reddit report that anointed enemies are unimpressed by the character’s cryo abilities. They prefer to withdraw when an anointed enemy appears – even when Zane is now stronger. However, the other characters also have problems when the “anointed” suddenly become invulnerable, blast lasers at you, or teleport out of the line of fire only to attack from nowhere again. There is a lack of weaknesses. You can see how such a fight can unfold in this video from “Simple Ape“:

Some players on reddit report having fewer problems. However, they admit that they may have just hit on the right build. Others see the enemies solely as a challenge to overcome, no matter how long it takes.

The majority of players, however, criticize the design of the anointed enemies quite sharply and wish for a nerf. Especially the temporary invulnerability bothers many.

Furthermore, many players feel that the anointed enemies drop too little powerful loot. However, when it comes to this enemy, you are at the right place:

YouTuber teaches his dog how to play Minecraft – But he is really bad

Cortyn 1. October 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Even a dog can play Minecraft . While that’s true, whether the dog will actually succeed is another matter …

Few computer games have stood the test of time as well as Minecraft. Even years after its release, the game still has thousands of streamers and YouTubers covering it, and thanks to new patches, there are always fresh contents to discover. However, some YouTubers seem to want to bring friends into the blocky world over the years, but also the animal companions.

At least that’s what YouTuber Liam Thompson thought, who wanted to teach his dog the basics of Minecraft.

A special keyboard just for dogs: As preparation, a keyboard is first disassembled, which ultimately contains only 2 keys. One for “walk” and one for “destroy” (i.e., hit / break). By using two large pieces of cardboard, only these two keys remain, which the dog then has to learn.

Treats for “destroying”: Then follows the long and hard training, where Thompson tries to teach the dog the two commands. While success takes a while at first and the dog seems rather confused, he later understands the instructions and executes them correctly. As a small bonus, he even (accidentally) discovered jumping in the game.

Do you know the player who completed Minecraft without taking a step?

Or to put it in Thompson’s words: “We managed to get Max to destroy things. We managed to get him to walk. He now masters all the basics of a Minecrafter!”

This is of course a bit self-ironic, but the video has turned out to be quite cute and funny.

Now Max just has to learn to use the mouse and panic bark when encountering a Creeper …

Viewers find it adorable: In the comments, viewers show themselves more or less enthusiastic. Most find this action extremely cute, but some jokingly express their concern:

It’s funny now, but when he starts chatting with others, it will get creepy!

While others ask:

Impressive – but can Max tame a dog in Minecraft?

That would probably be the next step.

What do you think of this action? Is it silly and should one not do this with an animal? Or is the learning for the dog just a fun game with rewards?
