Developers of Guild Wars 2 admit: “Players are better than we are”

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

In the MMORPG Guild Wars 2, there are often discussions about the difficulty of new content. The developers have acknowledged this problem but admit that the players are simply better than they are.

What happened? On Tuesday, September 17, the Prologue to Living World Season 5 was released in Guild Wars 2. This introduced the first strike mission meant to prepare players for raid content.

However, many criticize the strike mission for being not only easy but far too easy to complete. The boss fight with 10 players takes hardly longer than 3 minutes for many spontaneous groups.

While the rewards in the form of a new shoulder skin and a chair are good, players do not see it as a genuine introduction to raid content.

What do the developers say about it? PCGamesN had the chance to talk with Lead Designer Heather Conover about the episode. They discussed the difficulty of the boss fights.

The developer says:

One of the hardest tasks in balancing PvE content is assessing the difficulty in relation to the skill of our players. Our players are generally better at the game than we are.

We aim to provide a certain variety of difficulties in the content we publish. And we anticipate adjustments to the difficulty based on player data and feedback.

At the same time, Senior Designer Justin Reilly describes the new strike missions as “not easy.” You need a good squad to defeat the boss and obtain the best rewards. Many players do not share this opinion.

Hardcore players in GW2 have been dissatisfied for a while

What are players dissatisfied with? Even before Heather Conover’s statement, players speculated about why the last raids were all coolly designed but far too easy.

They suspected that the capabilities of players might exceed the expectations and skills of the developers. Heather Conover’s statement supports this assumption.

When raids were introduced in November 2015 in Guild Wars 2, there was approximately a new raid every 4 months. However, this cycle only applied to the first 4 raids. After that, the intervals have noticeably increased.

What does the interview reveal? In addition to the strike missions and players’ skills, the story of the new update was also in the spotlight.

This was created, as Narrative Designer Novera King revealed, from both long-term planning and spontaneous ideas.

The developers already knew that the Charr should be in the spotlight in the future. However, it was only with the requiem to Rytlock shortly before the final episode of Season 4 that they decided to dive deeper into his story.

Expansions in the future of Guild Wars 2? This interview also discussed the topic of paid expansions for GW2. This was brought back into play through an interview in early September.

Heather Conover said that many decisions for the future depend on the success of the Icebrood Saga. They will review their data and make a decision intended to ensure that Guild Wars 2 remains a successful game.

Currently, four development teams are working on new content for GW2. We reveal what that content is here:

In the new survival MMO Population Zero, you can join factions and wage war

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

With Population Zero a new survival MMO is being released that aims to “reshape the survival genre”, according to its own website. Currently, only a closed beta is running, but there are some details about the game already.

What is Population Zero? In Population Zero, you play as a colonist who crashes on the way to their new colony in space and lands on an unknown planet. There, dangerous enemies and surreal biomes await you, where you need to survive.

You are free to cooperate with other players, gather resources, and build bases. The goal is to explore the world you have landed on and uncover the secrets of those who were here before you.

All of this sounds a bit like RimWorld, one of our best survival games of 2019, or even like a No Man’s Sky as an MMO.

When and where will the game be released? Currently, a closed beta is running on PC, which players can enter by purchasing a Founder’s Pack for at least €9. However, this will only last until Monday, September 23.

On Steam, Population Zero will not be released for the time being. It will come with its own launcher. A release date has not yet been announced.

Will there be more information? News from the developers is shared on the official website. There probably won’t be any community opinions in the near future, as the beta is under a non-disclosure agreement. So those of you participating will not be able to share your experiences either.

What makes Population Zero so special

This is how the world evolves: In Population Zero, there is an ecosystem that, according to developer information, you can apparently influence. The creatures of the world have both individual and collective behavior.

Both behaviors are controlled by an algorithm that changes when you intervene in the ecosystem. It sounds like you cannot just wildly farm amounts of meat and leather, but must ensure that everything stays in balance.

population zero monster

There are also said to be different biomes, such as a jungle and a desert. How much this affects the game and the behavior of the NPCs is still uncertain.

This is how the interaction works: The social aspect sounds similarly interesting. The developers speak of a “fight for survival” in which you can team up with other players in groups and even factions.

These then spread across the world in the form of camps and can either fight over resources or form alliances. Large alliances can eventually wage war against one another if it comes to that.

At the worst time, the matchmaking in Dead by Daylight is broken

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Only now is Dead by Daylight plagued by a problem. The matches are unfair and newcomers are mercilessly scared off.

With the “Stranger Things” chapter, Dead by Daylight has actually caught its big haul and could attract thousands of new players to the 4vs1 horror game. However, there is currently a disastrous bug that ruins the gaming experience for newcomers. Dead by Daylight has suffered from this very bug in the past.

What is the bug? Those currently searching for a match in Dead by Daylight quickly find teammates and can start playing right away. However, only after completing the map does one see in the end menu of the game: The ranks of the players do not match at all. It repeatedly occurs that killers ranked 18-20 face off against four survivors ranked 1-5. Conversely, it can also happen that a rank-1 killer faces survivors who are still playing at the “beginner” ranks.

Newcomers’ entry is ruined: Currently, there are particularly many newcomers in Dead by Daylight who have such a negative gaming experience. A “fresh” player ranked 20, who has not unlocked any perks and has hardly any experience, has no chance against experienced players in the higher ranks. For both sides, these matches become quite boring, and the sense of achievement for newcomers is completely absent.

That’s why this is so fatal: A few days ago, the “Stranger Things” DLC launched alongside a “Free Weekend” for Dead by Daylight. Fans of the Netflix series now have the opportunity to try out the game for free and get an impression of it. If they only get “beaten up” and face players with hundreds or thousands of hours of experience, they will find little joy in Dead by Daylight and will hardly become long-term players.

What you can do as a newcomer: If newcomers still want to have fun, we have some tips and tricks for beginners here that might just work:

We hope that the developers can address this problem promptly so that players can compete against each other at the same level.

Have you also suffered from the matchmaking problem? Or have you been lucky so far with balanced matches?

This is where the race starts: Head to the area near Trevor’s airfield. There you will find the quarry, which has also played a role in other races and in the story of GTA 5.

Enter the marker on foot to start the race. You can find the start point at the purple remote control on the map.

What should be noted? The race takes place, as so often, on slippery ground. The sand offers less traction than a paved road, so you should carefully calculate your turns.

  • The time for the race is tight – anyone who has an accident will likely need to restart
  • Pay attention to the arrows in the checkpoints – The more arrows there are (1 to 3), the sharper the turn

Open Beta of Modern Warfare introduces new feature – This is what Cross Save is about

Christopher Dietrich Christopher Dietrich Reading time 3 minutes

During the CoD Modern Warfare Open Beta, some players made an interesting discovery. Cross Save is now activated there. But what is behind it?

Where was the Cross-Save feature discovered? From today, the Open Beta of CoD Modern Warfare is running on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Some players are testing the game on different platforms. In doing so, they discovered a new feature. The Cross-Save function is activated in the Modern Warfare beta. This was neither known before nor announced by the developers.

Cross Save in the Open Beta – How it works

How does Cross-Save work? When you link two different platforms, such as PC and Xbox One, the progress from one platform is also transferred to the other. Specifically, this means: you essentially have an overarching CoD account that you can use on all supported platforms you are playing on.

CoD-Modern-Warfare-Panzer

You can link your accounts here: Call of Duty Account Management

Players have become aware of this in the Open Beta of Modern Warfare and have wondered if it could be a mistake, as such a Cross-Save function has not been announced for the beta. Our author Christopher tested it himself and his progress from the Xbox One was directly transferred to the PC.

Link your platform to the CoD account to test Cross-Save

This function transfers things like your level progress, equipment, emblems, and calling cards to other platforms. However, linking to the CoD account is necessary.

So far, it is unclear whether this feature will also be included in the finished game. A month ago, the developers explained that they were experimenting with this feature, but it has not yet been confirmed for the final version.

What benefits do you get from the feature? If this function is also implemented in the finished game, it could offer some advantages for players. Cross-Save no longer binds you to one platform, and you can play the same save across different devices without having to start over each time.

This way, you can play on the PC during the day and in the evening start with your friends on the PS4. However, you will likely have to own the game for both platforms, as this is not Play-Anywhere.

What does Cross Save bring?

What is the goal of Cross-Play? The developers want to create a large Call of Duty community with Cross-Play and at the same time offer the ultimate multiplayer experience.

In conjunction with the already implemented Cross-Play feature, Cross-Save would bring additional comfort and freedom for players. They want to ensure that players can enjoy the experience completely independently of their platform. Therefore, most content is also intended to be released simultaneously on all platforms.

This way, they want to prevent a split in the community. Playstation 4 players should still receive a “Day 1” advantage. What this will involve, however, is not yet known.

This is what players say about Cross-Save: When the Cross-Save rumors first emerged a month ago, players on reddit were excited about the idea. Some would even be willing to buy the game for multiple platforms if the developers included Cross-Save. One player jokingly said, “So are the developers finally making the CoD account useful?”.

However, it remains to be seen whether this feature will actually make it into the finished version of the game. It can currently be tested in the Open Beta and works without apparent problems. At least from a technical standpoint, the chances look good that players will also find the Cross-Save feature in the retail version of Modern Warfare.

These changes are expected in the current beta:

Fortnite: Secret Star in Week 8 (S10) – Location

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite we are in the 8th week of Season 10. We will show you where to find the hidden Battle Star that is concealed in the loading screen.

What is this star? Each week there is a loading screen that can be unlocked by completing three time-limited challenges. The loading screen contains a hint about the location of the hidden star.

Requirement: The Battle Star will only appear for you in the game after you have completed three of the time-limited challenges. Once you have completed the 3 tasks of the Gothic missions and received the loading screen, you can begin your search for the star.

Finding the Battle Star from Week 8 in Season X

What does the loading screen look like? The loading screen features the new Gotham City, which has appeared in the game. If you look closely at the neck of the stone figure, you can see coordinates. The coordinates G2/G3/H2/H3 reveal the exact location of the hidden star.

Where is the location? The coordinates G2/G3/H2/H3 lead you to the star. You should search at the intersection of these coordinates.

Location on the map:

Location at the coordinates: If you mark the intersection of these 4 coordinates, you can fly directly there. You will see a metallic building near the marker. The Battle Star is located in the crater. Once you have collected the star, you will level up in the Battle Pass.

Red Dead Online: Player intervenes with axe in brawl, gets beaten up

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

A special video titled “Never Interrupt a Brawl” is currently causing quite a stir in the Red Dead Online community, the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, and bringing a lot of laughs. A player intervenes in a fistfight with an axe – the result is going viral.

Currently, not only the recently introduced roles of Bounty Hunter, Trader, or Collector are giving RDO players something to talk about. A funny video is also drawing the attention of many fans and creating a lot of buzz.

What exactly does the video show? About a day ago, user StealthShinobi shared a funny clip from Red Dead Online on the discussion platform Reddit, showing an unexpected outcome of a fight. A player is seen intervening with an axe in a fistfight between two other cowboys. However, nothing comes from the two seemingly easy kills.

The combatants quickly put their disputes aside and team up against the unfair interloper who dared to interrupt the fist duel between two men and wanted to exploit the situation. In true western fashion, he gets thoroughly beaten up.

As if that weren’t enough, the two fighters then turn back to each other and continue resolving their own differences after they have dealt sweet dreams and quite a headache to the armed troublemaker.

You can see the video here:

How do the fans react? The video is being celebrated hard by the community and is quite popular among fans. It has already received over 24,000 upvotes in just about a day. Many say they still can’t stop laughing.

Users celebrate how cool the two main participants put their disputes aside and make quick work of the dishonorable third player. What is particularly appreciated: After that, it continues as if nothing happened – almost like in a movie or wrestling, just as one would expect from tough men in the Wild West. That’s why you shouldn’t interfere in a duel between two men.

Also the fact that the troublemaker simply wanted to get easy kills, felt superior with his axe, and ended up getting thoroughly beaten, brings a lot of laughs. Many fans agree that nothing less is what the guy deserved after his cowardly act.

Unfortunately, what the clip does not show is who ultimately emerged as the winner of the actual duel. Many fans would have liked to see that.

By the way, there are many more cool moments in Red Dead Redemption 2:

What do you think of this fight and the fate of the axe fighter? Would you also have liked to see the rest of the duel? Let us know in the comments.

Guardians see only one way to forgive their greatest enemies in Destiny 2

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, a Guardian can only imagine one way to forgive the vile Uldren Sov. Thousands of Guardians agree with him.

What is currently being discussed? While countless players are eagerly waiting for the new Shadowkeep expansion, ideas and speculations are constantly popping up in the reddit forum about how certain plot lines of the confusing Destiny story might continue in the future.

Yesterday, the topic “Uldren Sov” became quite prominent. This character became the arch-enemy of many Guardians in Forsaken, as he mercilessly killed their favorite Hunter Cayde-6. Since Uldren Sov will eventually return in the future, there has been speculation about what needs to happen for us not to shoot him on sight.

Uldren Sov

The Only Way Uldren Can Atone

Here’s the suggestion: The only way Uldren can atone is by bringing a quest for the Gjallarhorn, writes the Guardian blue_13.

He then writes a short scene about how the encounter with Uldren might go:

  • Uldren: Enters the Tower
  • I: “You will pay with your life again for killing Cayde. Speak your last words” – Draws the Thorn
  • Uldren: “I know where the Gjallarhorn is.”
  • I: “Hey, buddy. Welcome home. Let me buy you a drink. Cayde? Never heard of that guy!”

Within a few hours, this post received over 7,200 upvotes and several awards. In the comments, people mention that while the post is entertaining, they are especially surprised by the overwhelming support from other reddit users.

“You just posted this 3 minutes ago, how the hell do you already have 2 awards on it,” is the top comment. So Guardians massively agree with him.

Apparently, many Guardians can forgive even the meanest enemy in Destiny 2 – no matter what they have done – if they bring the Gjallarhorn. Why is that?

Destiny-Gjallarhorn
Gjallarhorn

Gjallarhorn Stands Above All

This is the Gjallarhorn: In short – the Gjallarhorn was THE weapon from Year 1 of Destiny 1. When veteran Guardians look back to the early days, images of the Gjallarhorn surely come to mind. This exotic rocket launcher has burned into the brains of all Year 1 Guardians forever.

For an entire year, the Guardian community was in a Gjallarhorn frenzy: The exotic rocket launcher was so powerful in Year 1 that it was the best choice for nearly every challenge.

A true cult developed around this exotic, and when Xur finally brought this weapon after months of waiting in August 2015, a Gjallarhorn Day was declared, which Guardians still celebrate annually.

Therefore: If anything can calm the spirits of the Guardians, it is the return of the weapon that shaped Destiny for them for a year. It’s also possible to forgive even the meanest enemies who kill long-time companions.

destiny-2-uldren-augen

Why is Uldren Sov Returning?

Who is Uldren Sov? Uldren is the brother of the Awoken Queen Mara Sov. He was already hostile to Guardians in Destiny 1, and in Forsaken he completely lost the Guardians’ favor when he killed Cayde-6.

At the end of the Forsaken story, Uldren was executed out of revenge.

However, a few weeks later, a cutscene was unlocked in Destiny 2 that shows: Uldren is alive again! He was revived by a Ghost and is now a Light bearer. You can watch the cutscene here:

https://youtu.be/xh5arwBDj9I

With the Shadowkeep expansion in October 2019, the story will focus primarily on Eris Morn, the Moon, and then on the Vex. The return of Uldren is likely not expected in the near future.

But the cutscene teases a future encounter of Guardians with Uldren. As a revived Light bearer, he should have lost his memories from his previous life, but the renewed encounter with the Guardians should still be exciting.

And who knows, maybe he will actually bring something that can atone for his sins.

FIFA 20: Best Packs in Ultimate Team – All Sets at a Glance

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 5 minutes

In FIFA 20, we showcase the best packs in Ultimate Team. Here you can quickly find an overview of which sets are most worth buying and opening. All packs in FUT 20 with price, value, and contents are listed.

Attention: Here you can find the best packs in FIFA 21 for the new season.

What you need to know about pack opening in FUT 20: The Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 20 involves opening sets from time to time – a process also known as “pack opening” in Germany. Especially at the start of the new FUT season, you should manage your scarce coins wisely and first build a powerful team before spending all your coins on packs.

Because in most cases, pack opening is a loss-making business. You receive items with a lower value than the cost of the pack. Nevertheless, searching for luck in the packs is part of the appeal of FUT: “Maybe I’ll find Messi in the next set!”

Tips and hints before drawing packs:

  • Many packs can be purchased with coins or FIFA Points. FIFA Points are a currency that can only be bought with real money.
  • If you are willing to invest real money in FUT 20, you should initially buy packs only with FIFA Points. Because you need your coins to bid on players in the transfer market and improve your team.
  • Draw sets where you can get the most for your coins. These will be available in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team only occasionally. Then go for it. Which packs are the best, we will show you now.

Best sets in FUT 20 that can be purchased with coins

How to find the best sets in FUT 20: In most cases, those sets are the best where you pay the least price per rare card. Sets with guaranteed rare players are particularly recommended.

Only in packs that can contain rare players is there a low probability of absolute top players and special cards with high ratings.

List of the best packs that you can buy with coins: In the following sets, you potentially receive the most for your coins. The calculations come from the site fifauteam and are based on hundreds of pack openings. They calculated how many coins a rare gold player costs on average through the respective set:

Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.

Additionally, there should occasionally be set offers where you receive rare players for specific positions, such as a rare gold striker set. These are also recommended but are missing from the list.

What are the best sets? The expensive sets are generally the sets where you get the most for your money. However, you first need to raise enough coins or FIFA Points to be able to afford them. Additionally, they are not always available.

Are there really “best packs”? Most FUT players want rare gold players that have top values and fetch high amounts on the transfer market. The above pack recommendations are intended for these users. If you want to build a bronze team, bronze packs are recommended for you.

Critical Error: Priests are currently extremely OP in WoW Classic

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft Classic there are still a number of bugs. One is so severe that priests currently have a huge advantage in PvP.

World of Warcraft Classic has been live for just over 3 weeks and many players are already at level 60. Although there are no PvP rewards yet, especially the PvP servers are full and invite constant skirmishes and battles between the two factions. Resourceful players have now discovered a bug that gives priests an unfair advantage: Certain attacks simply do no damage to them.

Fishing is also currently problematic in WoW Classic …

What kind of error is this? The bug apparently affects the spell “Power Word: Shield,” which allows priests to create a temporary shield that absorbs some damage points. However, there is currently a drastic error, as the shield takes no damage from critical melee attacks!

In this video, you can see a warrior mercilessly beating on a priest’s shield – to no avail:

This can be especially well proven when a warrior uses Recklessness. As a result, almost all of the warrior’s attacks become critical hits, making the issue particularly evident.

Other types of damage are not affected by this. Critical spell hits or ranged attacks deal the usual damage. Only critical melee attacks lead to an endless “absorb” that simply cannot destroy the priest’s shield.

Are priests now unstoppable? Of course, priests are not “invincible” in PvP because of this, but the bug is quite serious. Rogues and warriors rely heavily on critical hits in melee, which puts these classes at a significant disadvantage when they face a priest.

What is Blizzard doing? So far, there has been no statement from Blizzard on this. However, it is to be expected that the developers will place such a serious bug high on their priority list and will take action against it with appropriate speed.

Have you noticed this bug too? Or have you not experienced this with your priest yet?

Join our test: How do you find Borderlands 3 so far?

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

Since at least Friday, many of you have already been busy playing Borderlands 3. How are you enjoying the game so far?

So far, Borderlands has been rated: The reviews from various gaming websites and media resulted in a solid score of 85 points on Metacritic, with 21 positive reviews and one neutral.

The action-packed gameplay with many enemies to dismantle and a rewarding system that delivers tons of loot has been particularly praised.

However, the user score is far lower at 5.2 points based on 1077 ratings (as of September 15, 2019, 16:51). The majority of negative reviews criticize poor performance on consoles and many bugs.

Why “Party Sync” in World of Warcraft won’t really help

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 5 minutes

Patch 8.2.5 of World of Warcraft introduces Party Sync. At least Cortyn sees it quite critically and does not believe it will have much effect.

While the hype continues in World of Warcraft Classic and players are gradually approaching level 60, in “Retail” things are feeling a bit stale. No wonder, as the Azshara Patch 8.2 is now more than 3 months old. However, the next update is already in the works and nearly completed. One of the “big” features of Patch 8.2.5 is the “Party Sync” feature.

But I honestly do not believe that this will truly help with group play in World of Warcraft.

What is the “Party Sync” feature? With Patch 8.2.5, it will be possible to adjust the level of your character to match the gameplay area of another character.

For example: A friend has just started and is at level 58. You have a character at level 120, so you would defeat all enemies in mere fractions of a second. If you are now in a group with your friend, you can “scale down” to your friend’s level range.

In this example, the character would then be set to level 60. He temporarily loses talents and abilities that he would not have at level 60.

At the same time, there is the possibility to set your progress on the same quests as your friend. You can thus complete quests again and receive rewards for them while you are with your friend. The rewards will then scale to also be meaningful at level 120.

Actually, it seems like a win-win situation, doesn’t it?

Exactly, I see it completely differently.

Group play in WoW offers no real incentive during leveling

The biggest problem for me is that there is essentially no incentive to play with other players during the leveling phase, which is a shame. By incentives, I do not mean rewards, but rather incentives that arise from the game mechanics itself.

The leveling phase in World of Warcraft has been tailored to solo players for quite a while. There are hardly any group quests left, aside from a few very old quests from The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. The regular enemies pose no threat to any class in any specialization, so leveling is actually a very comfortable, steady flow without major hurdles.

From a pure gameplay perspective, forming a group “doesn’t benefit me”. It reduces the experience points received per mob, and you are not much faster – whether enemies fall after 5 seconds or 4 seconds changes the speed only marginally.

To draw a comparison to Classic, which is currently in the spotlight: There, (almost) every class has some “downtimes” during leveling, where killing enemies is tough. Warriors, for example, often reach their limits around level 30 when good gear is lacking, as do mages or rogues. Just from the game’s design, it already makes sense to form a group and head out together.

This motivation is completely missing. The quests in World of Warcraft are certainly interesting, but only a fraction of them have a difficulty that would justify forming a group for them.

WOW Gathering before Moonwell Title

So there remains only one solid reason: The desire to play with the other person. That may be sufficient for some, but I think it is not enough for a larger portion of the player base. I always look forward to doing something with my friends at level 120, but during the leveling phase, I prefer to go solo. And I believe many feel the same way.

Every player has their own “flow” when questing. Some are quicker, some are more relaxed. If it does not align perfectly, dissatisfaction quickly arises. Again, for comparison: In Classic, this flow is naturally determined by the regeneration times and mana pauses after battles. In Retail, that is not the case.

The leveling phase is too short

I am, of course, happy that Blizzard is trying to make the leveling phase more enjoyable for newcomers, and the fundamental ability to play with friends “always” is certainly a fundamentally good thing.

However, I wonder why Blizzard even undertakes this effort. After all, the leveling phase in World of Warcraft is extremely short. Those who really put in the effort can level from 1 to 120 in just a few days – even faster with leveling gear.

Implementing such a comprehensive system, where virtually all quests in the game have been evaluated for their “sync compatibility”, for a segment of gameplay that is comparatively quick to finish is hard for me to understand.

My only hope here is that Blizzard is planning a revision of the world in the future (perhaps with the next expansion?) and wants to expand and implement the feature directly then. That would also fit with the overall goal of making the leveling phase more enjoyable and giving it more significance. But that is still just wishful thinking.

PvP in “Party Sync” could become a joke

One last point that makes me ponder is the PvP integrity of “Party Sync”. I believe there could be some very annoying situations if there are no countermeasures.

Let’s assume the mythically geared player at level 120 scales down to level 60 to play with his friend. Now a player from the opposing faction comes along who is at level 80.

There will be PvP rogues happy to gank.

Will the mythically geared “level 120 player” be simply destroyed by the level 80 character because the 120 player had Party Sync active? If so, that would be a clear argument against using this feature or, alternatively, to completely avoid war mode.

If that happens, I already see a horde of PvP players just waiting to take down characters with Party Sync. That does not sound like the best motivation to use this feature to me.

WoW Levelup

In summary, I do not think that “Party Sync” will lead to many players suddenly pairing up with friends. I simply cannot imagine it, as the necessity for it does not exist and the rewards are negligible.

In my opinion, Blizzard needs to overhaul the leveling phase in such a way that group play provides an incentive on its own, whether because the gameplay is challenging or because one cannot complete elite quests otherwise.

But maybe it is just me thinking this way. What do you think about the “Party Sync” feature? Will it be a huge success and lead to you questing with lower-level players? Or is this feature not for you?

The bigger mode of Modern Warfare is here – Here’s how you can all try it in the beta

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

Everyone interested in the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare should definitely play the Modern Warfare Open Beta on PS4, Xbox One, and PC now. Because Ground War is now finally live – the largest mode in traditional multiplayer of Call of Duty so far.

Many have been eagerly waiting for this: Currently, the second phase of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta is running. Since the evening of September 20, the Ground War mode is finally available to play – initially only for all PS4 players and pre-orderers on PC and Xbox One. Originally, this mode was supposed to be available starting at 7:00 PM on September 21.

Ground War is the largest mode for the regular multiplayer part of the “Call of Duty” series so far. Accordingly, many players are now eager to finally try out the new mode themselves.

This is how everyone can try out Ground War: Throughout today (September 21), the Modern Warfare Beta will be open for all players on all platforms – probably around 7:00 PM German time. Then all interested parties on PS4, Xbox One, and PC can get their own impression of Ground War (and other multiplayer modes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare).

To do this, you just need to search your respective platform store for “Modern Warfare Beta” and download it. Once the beta is open for everyone today, everyone can enjoy the new Ground War mode.

More info can be found here: CoD Modern Warfare: 2nd Beta phase starts with many changes – Here’s how you can participate

What exactly is in Ground War?

  • Ground War is basically a larger variation of the Domination mode. It is a traditional multiplayer format in a new size and not a battle royale like Blackout from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
  • Gameplay currently features 32 vs 32, with 64 players. It is already the largest mode for the regular multiplayer of the entire “Call of Duty” series so far.
  • Two teams fight with weapons, tanks, troop transports, or helicopters on a large map for control points (5 on the current map).
  • The Ground War maps are larger than the regular maps. They are said to be the largest maps in the history of Call of Duty. One map is available in the beta – Karst River Quarry.
  • On a larger map, the developers have already experimented with 100 or more players. However, the final player numbers will depend on the size of the map and the number of control points.
  • The regular multiplayer loadout is used – meaning weapons with attachments and perks.
  • Killstreaks can also be used in Ground War.

Will you try Ground War or have you already? What is your impression of this new mode?

Mewtwo returns to EX-Raids of Pokémon GO – The attack is a highlight

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The next EX-Raid boss in Pokémon GO is known! Mewtwo will return and bring a special move.

When will Mewtwo return? Currently, you can still find Mewtwo in regular raids, but starting September 25, invitations for EX-Raids that bring Mewtwo will be distributed.

The legendary Pokémon will not completely disappear from the game; you will get it in EX-Raids. The special thing about the raids is that Mewtwo will learn the exclusive move Shadow Ball there.

Everything about the new EX-Raid boss

When can you fight Mewtwo? Currently, several EX-Raid invitations have already been sent out. These will all still bring you Deoxys.

Only an invitation that you receive from September 25 will actually bring Mewtwo in the EX-Raid.

Pokémon GO Mewtwo Title 2

What makes Mewtwo so special? Mewtwo was previously available in EX-Raid and was then replaced by Deoxys after about a year. So far, Mewtwo could only learn the move Shadow Ball in EX-Raids. This will continue to be the case, as the powerful Ghost move will only be available in EX-Raids.

Mewtwo can also continue to appear as Shiny in EX-Raids. This is new for the special raids. For the first time, a Pokémon can also appear in its shiny version in EX-Raids.

Is Shadow Ball worth it? This move makes Mewtwo one of the best Ghost attackers. It is definitely worth doing the new EX-Raids, as only then will you obtain Mewtwo with Shadow Ball.

How do I participate in an EX-Raid? For an EX-Raid, you need an invitation. You will only receive this if you and many other players have raided at an EX-Raid Arena. Only if enough players have raided there will there be an EX-Raid.

Mark on Arena
The mark in the upper right corner indicates the EX-Raid Arena

You can recognize the special arenas by the mark in the upper right corner. Click on the arena, and you will see the mark. Such arenas are usually located in parks.

Teamfight Tactics: Patch 9.19 changes almost everything – The 5 biggest highlights

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In Teamfight Tactics, patch 9.19 is on the way and it is set to be significant. Developer Mortdog has once again released an overview of the planned changes for the LoL Auto Chess.

When does patch 9.19 come out? The new update for TFT is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, September 25. It includes some new features that were originally planned for patch 9.18.

We have highlighted the five biggest highlights of the update for you and will present them in more detail.

Teamfight Tactics News Download

1. The new Battle Gloves

What is the biggest change of the update? Patch 9.19 finally brings the long-awaited Battle Gloves into the game. This is a new basic item that can be combined with others.

Battle Gloves themselves provide:

  • +10% chance to dodge
  • +10% chance for critical hits

The Battle Gloves thus introduce 9 additional items with new properties.

LoL Kai'Sa Splash

2. The new champion Kai’Sa

What can the new champion do? Patch 9.19 will introduce a new champion. Kai’Sa will cost 5 gold and will have the origin Void Creature.

She represents both the classes Assassins and Archers. This is a very interesting combo in the current meta. Currently, Void Creatures and Assassins play a central role, but Archers are also in demand.

Her special ability allows Kai’Sa to hop across the board and escape from tricky situations.

3. Changes to the Void Creatures

What is changing about the origin? With Kai’Sa, the fifth Void Creature is coming into play, and thus the origin will be revised with patch 9.19.

In the future, only all Void Creatures will deal true damage when there are four instead of three on the field:

  • (2) – One Void Creature deals true damage
  • (4) – All Void Creatures deal true damage
LoL-Cho'gath

4. Nerfs for Shapeshifters

What is changing with the Shapeshifters? Shapeshifters have been strong in the meta since patch 9.17. Therefore, they will receive a noticeable nerf with the upcoming update.

Their maximum health increase will now be 100% instead of 120%. Additionally, the damage of Shyvanna will be reduced from 250/375/500 to 200/300/400.

Gnar is also expected to be slightly nerfed.

League of Legends Gnar

5. Buff for Jinx

Which champion buff is particularly interesting? With patch 9.19, Jinx is set to become somewhat stronger again. After the release of the Hextech Champions in patch 9.16, she briefly dominated the meta and was found in almost every combo.

However, after a week, she was nerfed, and since then she has still been played, but is only present in a few builds.

Patch 9.19 will be bigger than planned

What else is changing? Patch 9.19 brings many small adjustments to item distribution, player damage, and to Ice Beasts and Volibear.

On the buff side, Ninjas will receive an additional 10 attack and spell damage. Blitzcrank, Vi, and the item Titanic Hydra will also be pleased.

Nerfs, however, are on the way for Archers, whose attack speed is reduced from 30% to 25%. Dragons, Sejuani, Braum, and the two popular items Infinity Blade and Rapid Fire Gun will also be weakened.

Developer Mortdog announced via Twitter that patch 9.19 has unexpectedly become quite large. Additionally, 9.19 will be the patch that is played at TwitchCon, where there will be a Twitch Rivals event for Teamfight Tactics.

Next week, there will be many major changes for Teamfight Tactics. Nevertheless, interest in the game has decreased. We have taken a closer look at the current state:

Borderlands 3: With this solo build for Zane, you deal massive damage

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 4 minutes

In Borderlands 3, you can choose from a total of four different characters. If you have decided on Zane, you will find a build suggestion for a lot of damage here.

What makes Zane special? Aside from being an entertaining character in Borderlands 3, what sets him apart is primarily this ability: he can select two Action Skills simultaneously if he gives up grenades. This makes him extremely complex and offers many build possibilities.

Who is this build suitable for? The suggested build focuses on dealing as much damage as possible without getting too much in the line of fire. It is suitable for solo players who want to take out as many enemies as possible. However, this Zane variant is also useful in co-op.

If you plan to try out the various grenade types in the game, this may not be the perfect build for you. This build relies on two different Action Skills, forfeiting the grenade slot. But: You don’t have to completely forgo explosives.

Zane can do anything – even plumbing if necessary

Skill for Zane: The Talents in English

These are Zane’s talents: Like the other characters, the agent comes with three skill trees. These are:

  • Doppelagent
  • Assassin
  • Undercover

The “Undercover” skill tree unlocks the Action Skill “Barrier”. With this skill, Zane gets a shield behind which he and his teammates can hide. A rather useful defensive tactic – especially in co-op.

In this build, however, we focus on the skill trees “Assassin” and “Doppelagent”. This gives you two important helpers for Zane: the remote-controlled drone “SNTL” and a Digi-Clone.

Both the drone and your doppelgänger can assist you in thinning out enemy ranks without getting caught in the crossfire themselves, thanks to many passive skills.

Lots of Damage Through Drone and Digi-Clone

This is how you should distribute your skills: We start with the Digi-Clone. Your doppelgänger draws enemy fire, attacks on its own, and gives you the opportunity to swap places with it. This way, you can quickly escape combat if necessary.

To maximize the potential of the clone, distribute your skill points like this:

The most important skills from “Doppelagent”: The doppelgänger is supposed to help you attack enemies from multiple directions. The talent tree offers many passive abilities that, for example, extend Action Skill time or increase your weapon damage and speed when you defeat enemies. Here are the helpful skills:

  • Synchronization
  • Borrowed Time
  • Commotion
  • Supersonic
  • Boom and Better
  • Light Trick
  • Breather

The more enemies you defeat, the stronger Zane and his Digi-Clone become. With Action Skill extensions, you can use “Binary System” and “Double Blaster”. Both allow you to deal damage through swapping places or by exploding the doppelgänger while you wreak havoc elsewhere on the battlefield. At the same time, your shield is recharged.

The Digi-Clone helps in all situations

Lastly, your Digi-Clone needs the following abilities:

  • Fractal Grenades
  • Sticky Mod
  • Dual Shot
  • Old-U

These abilities allow Zane to use grenades – without using the grenade slot. Both Zane and the clone can automatically distribute grenades to a certain percentage while firing – even with the currently equipped grenade mod.

The “Dual Shot” gives the doppelgänger a copy of Zane’s weapon, which is also useful when you have a strong or at least special weapon on you. Old-U is your insurance: When you are fighting for your life, you can simply sacrifice the clone and re-enter the fray with renewed strength. This helps, especially when focusing on the offensive.

This is how you use SNTL

The most important “Assassin” skills: With the “SNTL” drone, you get another helper focused primarily on offense.

Complement your existing skills with the following skill distribution:

The passive abilities: The second skill tree helps you maximize the damage and duration of your kill skills, increase your speed, and deal more elemental damage. Additionally, the drone throws grenades when needed.

The skills used are:

  • SNTL
  • Speed Over Corpses
  • Brutal Swing
  • Drone Delivery
  • Death Lurking Everywhere
  • Stasis Field
  • Sleeping Gas

The combination of these two trees should allow you to fight your way effortlessly through the Borderlands – even if you are playing solo. After all, Zane has two homemade partners to accompany him.

Of course, this is just one of many possibilities – the Undercover tree, for example, is not considered.

If you are playing with another character anyway, maybe these builds are something for you:

“Noob weapon” Jötunn is so powerful that Destiny 2 locks it for the new raid

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

Due to a bug, the exotic weapon Jötunn in Destiny 2 is so overpowered that Bungie has disabled it for the Shadowkeep raid. What is going on?

This was the statement: On September 20th, Franchise Director Luke Smith spoke up on Twitter and announced that Bungie will disable the exotic weapon Jötunn for the Shadowkeep raid Garden of Salvation.

Why is Jötunn being disabled? Officially, it was stated that the team has identified an issue with Jötunn. They plan to bring a fix in a future update.

This step is reportedly due to a glitch that allows this exotic weapon to deal massive damage to bosses, taking them down in no time. If you get close to the respective end boss while using the weapon and take damage yourself, the damage output skyrockets.

The glitch or bug has apparently been in the game since January 2019, but oddly only gained widespread attention in recent days. The issue is present on Xbox One and PS4, but is particularly severe on PC, where the damage appears to be directly linked to the FPS. As a result, the damage there is significantly higher than on consoles.

Link to the YouTube content

This ultimately led to Bungie’s decision to remove the weapon from the game for the new raid. During the World First race for the first raid clear of Garden of Salvation, one could secure an unfair advantage with Jötunn.

The new raid starts on October 5th.

Why “Noob weapon”? Many Guardians refer to Jötunn as a “Noob weapon,” which is primarily due to PvP. Some players believe that no skill is required for kills with this weapon and even the biggest noob can achieve guaranteed kills with it.

The projectiles of the weapon have tracking and are lethal on a direct hit. An unsuspecting enemy can thus be taken out in the Crucible with just one shot, without the need for precise aiming.

How to get Jötunn: Jötunn is an exotic weapon from the Black Armory. You will need the Forsaken Annual Pass, which is now free for all Forsaken owners.

Jötunn itself can drop randomly from the Bergusia Forge when you complete a Powerful weapon frame from Ada-1 there.

What do you think of this decision? Was it the right step? Let us know in the comments.

Patch 8.2.5 for WoW is coming! Here’s how to start the pre-load

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The next patch for World of Warcraft is almost here. To get started, you need to activate the pre-load right now.

Although the majority of players in World of Warcraft are currently engaged in Classic, the next patch for Battle for Azeroth is near. The Patch 8.2.5 has been on the PTR for a while, but the testing phase is coming to an end. The first “Release Candidate” has just been released on the PTR – this is traditionally the last update before the patch goes live, provided no bugs are found. To start right at the release, you should activate the pre-load now.

Here’s how to start the pre-load: To start the pre-load, you need to launch the Battle.net software and follow these steps:

  • Select “Options”.
  • Now, on the side, choose “Installation & Updates” and scroll down to “Game Updates”.
  • Click on “Game-specific Settings”, a new menu will open.
  • Set “Latest & Future Updates” for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.

Confirm with “Done” and the Battle.net app should start downloading the next patch. However, keep in mind that on release day, some data will still need to be downloaded to pull the most recent changes.

If it looks like this for you, then everything is set up correctly.

What’s included in Patch 8.2.5? The 8.2.5 update is just a “small” patch, but it still brings a lot of changes that players will appreciate. Some of the biggest features include:

When is Patch 8.2.5 coming out? There is now an exact release date for Patch 8.2.5! Patch 8.2.5 will launch on September 25, so next week.

Are you looking forward to the next update of World of Warcraft? Or are you just waiting for BlizzCon and the likely announcement of the next expansion?

The Division 2: Vendor Reset on 21.09. – This is the offer of the week

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division 2, today, on September 21st, is the Vendor Reset. This week’s offering may not include a top roll item, but there should be something useful for some agents.

What happens during the Vendor Reset? In our time zone, the offers from various vendors in The Division 2 change on the night from Friday to Saturday.

Agents swarm from all corners to the diligent merchants and inspect the latest goods. We gladly make your shopping trip a little easier by presenting some worthwhile items. Maybe there is something useful for you.

Which items are worth it?

These items are noteworthy: Overall, the Vendor Reset is again somewhat disappointing. The attribute rolls are generally nothing special. However, there are a few bright spots.

Overlord Skill Starter Kit Vest

  • Vendor: DZ East
  • Brand: Overlord Armaments
  • Value: 461
  • The “Big Drum” armor vest offers stable values for starting a skill build. The chest piece comes with 13% armor improvement, 6.5% weapon damage, 8,931 health, and the talent “Unbreakable.” Although the values are quite far from the maximum rolls on normal vests (Armor Max: 36.5% / Weapon Damage Max: 18%), this armor provides a stable foundation when health is exchanged for a good armor value.

Gila Guard PvE Mask

  • Vendor: White House
  • Brand: Gila-Guard

There is a lot going on in The Division 2 right now

The release of the next major Title Update 6 has been announced for October, and there are currently test servers (PTS) running on PC.

Many changes have already been announced, for example in PvP, and the developers are working on balance updates.

Starting next week, a new apparel event will run on the regular servers. This time, the outfits will again be in military style and not colorful beach wear.

When is Cassie’s reset? For some time now, Cassie’s reset occurs a day later, and she will only receive new items at night from Saturday to Sunday. Additionally, it requires a small scavenger hunt to find her each week.

What do you think of this week’s reset? Is there anything for you?
