Is Destiny 3 ever coming? Bungie reveals 7-year plan for Destiny 2

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, a 7-year plan has been discovered. The current Destiny title seems to be around for a long time, and Destiny 3 is a distant prospect.

Here are the new details: Bungie has released a fresh ViDoc for Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, showcasing exciting gameplay and addressing some of the already known Shadowkeep innovations.

A particularly thrilling scene can be seen in the ViDoc from minute 5. Game Director Luke Smith discusses the future content of Destiny 2 on a large whiteboard – and the whiteboard shows Seasons 8, 9, 10, and 11 along with the next Destiny 2 years 4, 5, 6, and 7. You can see the most important excerpts here:

seasons
year-7

Destiny 2 is likely to remain relevant for many years

This is seen on the whiteboard:

  • The top row represents the season number, the row below it for the season name, and the third row for the “player fantasy”.
  • Season 8 is described as “Undying” with the player fantasy “Stem the Tide”. We know that Season 8 is called “Season of the Undying” and includes Vex invasions. These Vex invasions are likely described here as the “tide” that you need to stem.
  • Season 9 is referred to as “Dawn” on the whiteboard. Luke Smith already confirmed in the information about the new season pass model that the ninth season is called “Season of Dawn”. In the player fantasy, he writes “Fix the Timeline”. The Vex may be messing up the timelines that you will need to repair in Season 9. Or does that have something to do with the cycle in the Dreaming City?
  • Season 10 is called “Scene”.
  • Season 11 is called “Deleted”.
  • After Season 11, Year 4 is on the roadmap.
  • In another camera angle, it is clear that the roadmap extends to Year 7 on the whiteboard. However, the names of these years cannot be deciphered clearly.

Is Destiny 2 really going to last 5 more years? Years 4 to 7 might also refer to new Destiny installments, but then they shouldn’t be called “Year 4” etc. The Destiny franchise is already a few years older, and the 4th year and the following years refer to the years after the Destiny 2 launch.

Therefore, this roadmap apparently shows: Destiny 2 is running (at least) for 7 years, so now another 5 – Shadowkeep kicks off year 3.

What does the community say about this? On reddit, people are equally surprised and excited by this news: “Up to seven years of Destiny 2? My God, 7 years of Destiny 2,” one exclaims. Another guardian finds this great. This way, Bungie can create high-quality content rather than piecing something together quickly for Destiny 3.

They want to create something alive

What does Bungie say about this? In the ViDoc, it is repeatedly stated that Destiny 2 is to become something that is alive and continuously evolving. With Shadowkeep, they aim to deliver content for players who love the game. They want to show what direction Bungie is taking with Destiny 2 – where the further guardian journey is headed.

Luke Smith says: “Hey, we’re back, and this is the 5-year plan for the game” – which likely confirms the information from the upper whiteboard.

Shadowkeep will prepare Destiny for the next big changes. Destiny 2 is to become a world where players feel that their actions and those of the global community drive the Destiny universe forward in meaningful ways.

The vision for the game: To be a great action MMO, set in an ever-evolving world that you can enter with your friends everywhere.

This is what Smith says about future expansions: Every year, there will be an “expansion set” like Shadowkeep, which will bring four subsequent seasons. The expansions serve as an anchor that sets the new story part. Growth, evolution, and change of these new situations occur during the seasons. The seasons are story-connected.

It’s about a universe, Smith says, that is dynamic, that evolves and that gives you memories. Then you can say: “I was there when …”

With the new seasons, old content will also be removed when new content is released.

Season 11 will be different from anything before

This is what Bungie says about the upcoming seasons:

  • In the Season of the Undying, Season 8, it is about the Vex launching an invasion from the Black Garden. They fall upon the moon, and you must stop them.
  • In Season 9, things will begin to build on Season 8
  • And in Season 10, it is supposed to get quite intense. When Bungie talks about it, scenes featuring Rasputin, the Warmind on Mars, can be seen.
  • In Season 11, everything will come together – and according to Bungie, you won’t want to miss that. There’s never been anything like it before.

Shadowkeep is now a cornerstone for significant changes upon which many things will build. Luke Smith ends by asking, “Are we done?” and answers himself directly: “We’re not even close.”

What is known about Destiny 3?

What do we know about Destiny 3? Bungie has not officially said a word about Destiny 3 yet. Previous rumors all stem from leaks.

But according to recent statements, it strongly seems that Destiny 2 will be relevant for many years to come. A “Destiny 3” was not on the roadmap for the next 5 years. In previous months, the developers repeatedly assured that they are far from being done with Destiny 2.

New SpatialOS MMORPG announced, is extremely ambitious – perhaps too much?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Antares is a complex and highly ambitious sandbox MMORPG currently in development, created using SpatialOS technology.

What is Antares Open World? The game is described as “the concept & modeling of a morphogenetic procedural multi-domain field environment
based on connectionist approaches of sub-symbolic type
on an AOW-based IDE for world simulations.”

Not understood? No worries. Antares Open World (AOW) simply aims to be a groundbreaking, complex strategy-sandbox MMORPG set in a vast, simulated world that players can alter.

You find yourselves in the world of Antares, where nothing is as it seems. Reality and perception are far apart. Therefore, it is necessary to always be on guard. You cannot trust anyone and must uncover the secrets of the world, which may even lead to rewriting the history.

A Highly Ambitious MMORPG

What makes the MMORPG special? AOW is extremely ambitious and offers interesting features. These include:

  • You can manipulate and alter the world and the objects within it
  • Animals and plants create an ecosystem that promises a lifelike world
  • Your decisions affect you and the world. You have to live with the consequences
  • The soul plays an important role, as through it you can “outsource” character values to trick death
  • When you are offline, you can assign tasks to your character so it continues to develop in your absence

Additionally, the game breaks with several elements that are usually common in the genre. These include:

  • no grinding mechanisms
  • no random events
  • no global auction houses
  • no health bars
  • no levels
  • no classes
  • no names above characters (tags)
  • no name changes
  • no classic chats or interfaces
  • no quest markers
  • no interaction markers
  • no teleportation (waypoints)

Developer Jan Ohlmann explains that the title is not for casual gamers; he plans to make Antares Open World one of the most complex MMORPGs ever.

How will the game be realized? The SpatialOS technology from Improbable will be used, enabling the creation of and management of huge online worlds.

Antares Open World Screenshot

What is the status of the MMORPG? AOW is in a very early stage of development. The team is currently looking for staff to help realize the extremely ambitious vision for the game. It will take quite some time before AOW is in a truly playable state.

Furthermore, the developers are planning a Kickstarter campaign to finance the game. There is currently no date for the crowdfunding.

Is the game overly ambitious?

What are the dangers? AOW sounds extremely ambitious. However, the team behind it is still quite small, and a planned Kickstarter campaign implies that funding options are being sought.

Already other SpatialOS games, which were similarly ambitious, have been shut down. It often feels that small teams take on too much with these projects. While SpatialOS promises that indie developers can create vast worlds for their games, this is not enough when it comes to an MMORPG.

Therefore, it remains to be seen how Antares Online World will develop further.

Pokémon GO cancels Raid Hour with Mewtwo for today – What is going on?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the raid hour with Mewtwo has surprisingly been canceled for today. It was supposed to take place this evening, on September 18.

What is the raid hour? This event regularly takes place in Pokémon GO. For one hour, a legendary raid appears at almost every gym, and you can battle it for an hour.

In fact, such an event was already announced for today, but Niantic has now canceled the raid hour with Mewtwo.

Update from September 20: The new date for the legendary raid hour is set. It will be in October.

Raid hour on September 18 canceled – Why?

Why is there no event? The developers justified their decision with technical problems. They announced this via Twitter.

Players from New Zealand reported this morning that no legendary raids appeared during their raid hour with Mewtwo. After the raids finally arrived with over an hour delay, many trainers had already gone home.

First trainers from Australia, where the raid hour starts after New Zealand, reported early Mewtwo raids. The raids appeared without an egg beforehand.

Now it seems Niantic has pulled the emergency brake and postponed the raid hour.

Mewtwo

When will the event be repeated? So far, nothing is known about this. It is only said that the raid hour should be made up for at a later date.

This could cause difficulties: Mewtwo is only available in raids until next Monday, September 23. If Niantic wants a repeat during this period, they need to hurry.

Can you still battle Mewtwo? Even though there were difficulties during the raid hour, Mewtwo remains in the legendary raids.

So anyone who wants to raid actively can continue to battle Mewtwo. Only the raid hour has been postponed.

Shiny Mewtwo

What are the chances of a Shiny? According to initial findings, the Shiny rate is again expected to be 1 in 19. This is the case for every legendary Pokémon.

You currently also have better chances for regional Pokémon:

The Demogorgon now also slaughters in Dead by Daylight

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new DLC for Dead by Daylight is live. The “Stranger Things” expansion brings the Demogorgon and two survivors from the Netflix series.

By far the largest DLC of Dead by Daylight is now live. The new “Stranger Things” chapter is based on the popular Netflix series and introduces the new killer Demogorgon, as well as a new map and two survivors – Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington.

What can the new killer do? The Demogorgon is capable of placing up to 6 different portals on the map, allowing it to move quickly between them. This enables covering large distances swiftly. Survivors can destroy the portals, but they need time to do so and are so focused while sealing the portal that they cannot hear the killer’s terror radius.

Additionally, the Demogorgon can perform a charged “lunge attack” to finish chases quicker and land a hit rapidly. This video shows the Demogorgon and its perks in action:

How much does the DLC cost? The chapter can now be purchased in the Steam shop or the PlayStation and Microsoft Store. The price is €11.99.

For complete newcomers, there is currently also the “Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Edition” on Steam. This includes the base game, the latest DLC, and some cosmetic items for the price of €20.20.

By the way:
If you do not buy the DLC, you can still play on the new map and against the new killer. Additionally, it is possible to obtain all perks through the Shrine of Secrets, even if it may take a lot of time. Thus, there is a way to access all perks without buying the DLC.

What’s included in the DLC? The DLC is a bit larger than regular chapters of Dead by Daylight, as it features two survivors. Hence, the “Stranger Things” chapter contains the following items:

  • The new killer Demogorgon with 3 unique perks
  • The survivor Steve Harrington with 3 unique perks
  • The survivor Nancy Wheeler with 3 unique perks
  • The new map “The Underground Complex” in Hawkins National Laboratory

More information about the perks and abilities of the survivors and the Demogorgon can be found in this article.

Are you getting the DLC for Stranger Things? Or are you not interested in the Demogorgon as a killer at all?

Who can play today? If you are playing FIFA 20 through Origin Access on PC, the new FIFA season is expected to kick off for you today, on September 18th.

EA Sports officially announces September 19th as the release date, but it has been the case in previous years that Origin Access members could start a day earlier.

The servers should go live around 5 PM or later in the evening.

What about EA Access? Madden 20 from EA Sports launched this year through EA Access a day before the stated release date. Therefore, EA Access members might also hope to start the trial version of FIFA 20 today.

This is EA Access: This is basically “Origin Access” for PS4 and Xbox One. However, here you only get a 10-hour trial version of FIFA 20. Although videos are circulating online about an EA Access glitch that supposedly allows extending the trial version, we strongly advise against it.

Why is starting before the release so exciting? The FIFA fans want to start as soon as possible in Ultimate Team to quickly build a competitive team and dominate in Weekend League. Those who start earlier have advantages over those who are still waiting for the release of their edition.

LoL reveals current player numbers, it is the most popular PC game in the world

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In the announcement for the 10th anniversary of League of Legends, the developers also mentioned current player numbers. These are so large that LoL could be the most popular PC game.

How many players does LoL have? According to their own statements, there are about 8 million players logged into League of Legends at peak times. This number consists of users from all regions as of August 2019.

Riot Games proudly claims that League of Legends is the largest PC game in the world. In total, more people play LoL daily than the ten most popular games on Steam combined.

Is LoL actually the most popular PC game? There are currently discussions regarding this question. For instance, the publisher of the Counter-Strike clone Crossfire also claims to have 8 million players daily. The game is particularly popular in Asia.

However, even if LoL were only the second most popular game, 8 million concurrent players is quite a number. And this is 10 years after the release of the MOBA.

In the future, LoL is set to receive a mobile version with Wild Rift.

Celebrations for the round birthday start on October 16

What does LoL plan for the round birthday? League of Legends was released on October 27, 2009. However, the activities for the tenth birthday will begin a bit earlier.

A livestream with the developers will take place on October 16, 2019, at 3:00 AM our time. It will look back at the most beautiful moments of the last 10 years. At the same time, there will also be information about the future.

Besides the plans for the League of Legends Pre-Season in 2020, a significant content update for Teamfight Tactics is also on the agenda.

New logo for LoL: In line with the tenth birthday, Riot Games also presents a new logo for League of Legends, which you can see right above this paragraph.

It is simpler than the old version but is still supposed to bring fresh air.

The Division 2 will nerf rare raid weapon – players find: this is disrespectful

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 4 minutes

The major Title Update 6 for The Division 2 is coming next month and the developers have opened a “Public Test Server” (PTS) for PC. The preliminary patch notes are causing quite a stir in the community. The raid-exclusive weapon Eagle Bearer is set to be nerfed.

What is going on with The Division 2? Recently, the test servers (PTS) for the next big Title Update 6 went live and Massive released a list of preliminary patch notes. However, a lot could still change before the end of the testing phase on October 1.

Eagle Bearer nerf causing outrage

The rarest weapon in the game, the exotic and raid-exclusive Eagle Bearer assault rifle, is set to be nerfed with the next update. The raid-exclusive weapon will deal 15% less base damage.

This is understandably frustrating for many agents: On Twitter and Reddit, this news has overshadowed every other topic regarding the preliminary patch notes. Many players see this change as “disrespectful” to their efforts and are voicing their frustration.

“The Eagle Bearer nerf is absolutely disrespectful to the players,” writes an agent on Reddit, receiving much support.

The agents demand proper recognition for the many hours spent in the raid before they could finally examine the coveted firearm in their own inventory.

Anyone who grinds for a strong weapon wants it to remain strong. Twitter user Gen4 states that the “Eagle Bearer” is the only reason he keeps playing the raid. Now he is questioning why he should even keep playing the raid if the weapon is being nerfed so severely.

division-2-eagle-bearer

However, there are other opinions: The Eagle Bearer certainly has its critics. A weapon that is very strong but hard to access in a game with PvP modes is often not very popular among those who don’t own a version.

It is also argued that the weapon remains a strong assault rifle with excellent talents, even after the nerf.

What does Massive say about it?

This is what the developers say: On Twitter, a developer joined the discussion and explained the goals of the planned balance updates. Fredrik Thylander is Lead Designer at Massive and is responsible for the weapons. In response to the accusation that this change only serves players who do not own an Eagle Bearer, he posted the following:

“It’s that everyone who gets it has no other choices. And we don’t either. Once something has power crept like that, we can’t add anything new ever that Interests anyone that has that gun, because it’s too far above the intended balance of the game.”

Fredrik Thylander on Twitter

The developer states here: Everyone who gets the weapon has no other choice but to use it. When such a powerful weapon takes the lead, we can’t add anything new to the game that interests those who own that weapon, because it is too far above the intended balance.

Massive wanted a strong exotic raid weapon and has perhaps overshot its target. Now they are focusing on increasing build diversity and achieving a certain balance among weapons, armor, and talents.

Other balance highlights from the preliminary patch notes. The major weapon balance update is likely coming with the next PTS phase on September 24. The current balance changes on the test server primarily affect talents and skills.

We have compiled some adjustments of the currently most popular talents for you.

  • In the Ropes
    • Increases weapon damage by 15% (instead of 20%) while skills are on cooldown
  • Unstoppable Force
    • Killing an enemy increases weapon damage by 1% (instead of 2%) for every 20,000 (previously 25,000) of your maximum armor
  • Scout
    • Enemies marked by a pulse take +15% damage (instead of 20%)
  • Compensated
    • If the critical hit chance is below 20%, weapon damage increases by 10% (previously 15%)
  • Ranger
    • now has no attribute requirements (previously 4 or fewer skill attributes)
  • Steady Hands
    • Each hit increases weapon handling by 3% (instead of 2%). Max 10x stackable (previously 15x). After reaching the maximum, each additional hit has a 5% chance to consume the stack and reload the magazine.

Developers want more meaningful builds

The nerfs to armor talents specifically target the highly used perks. “In the Ropes”, “Scout”, and “Compensated” are some of the cornerstones of the popular 3-11-7 build and a weakening of the combination was expected.

Here too, the developers are heading in the direction of build diversity and closely examining which talents are played for what reason.

What do you think about the EB nerf? Is it acceptable or should the developers have handled it differently?

Players clutter the world in the MMORPG Tibia so much that developers now need to intervene

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

MMORPG players probably know this: No matter where you go, there are used items lying around from other players. In the MMORPG classic Tibia, this will soon be a thing of the past, as an automatic cleaning function is being introduced.

Why does Tibia need a cleaning function? In the MMORPG from 1997, it is possible to simply drop items you no longer need on the ground. This allows players to free themselves from this unnecessary burden, and others may find a cool armor or a better sword and take these items.

However, this situation has gotten out of hand in Tibia for some time now. Player “trash” is lying around everywhere. It not only looks ugly but also ruins the atmosphere. Anyone wanting to descend into a dark dungeon and beat monsters doesn’t want to trample over piles of player items.

An automatic cleaning function

How is Tibia addressing the problem? The developers are integrating a function into the MMORPG that will regularly remove this “trash” from the game world. As a Tibia player, one should ensure that no items are left lying around that might be needed later.

Is this a general problem? Especially in sandbox games, this “cluttering” of the game world is common. This started with Ultima Online. There, players were not only bothered by the items lying around but also by the houses that could be built everywhere and eventually fell into disrepair because players no longer cared for them.

Seeing some player houses with rather questionable decoration right next to the dragon cave was not considered a thrilling and atmospheric gaming experience by many.

Even in Legends of Aria, this phenomenon can be seen. Items are lying around everywhere that can be picked up or must be ignored. This is especially true when players are training their crafting skills, producing armor after armor or sword after sword, and actually do not need these items. So they get thrown away.

Ultima Online - one of the pioneers of sandbox MMOs

Some MMORPGs handle the situation differently

What do other games do about it? Especially theme park MMORPGs, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, do not allow players to simply drop items on the ground. Those who do so destroy the item in some titles.

This is managed not only for atmospheric reasons. The more items lie around in the game world, the more 3D objects the game has to render, which could significantly affect performance over time.

What is the advantage of items that can be dropped? The world feels naturally more realistic when items can be placed on the ground, and it is possible to set traps with items or to delight other players with cool items.

However, this becomes a problem in most games, which is why appropriate countermeasures need to be taken.

What do you think about items being placed on the ground in an MMORPG? Is it part of an online role-playing game or does this “pollution of the game world” annoy you?

With this build, you will be (almost) immortal in Remnant: From the Ashes

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 4 minutes

With the latest update in Remnant: From the Ashes new armor bonuses were added, enabling fantastic synergies. With a special setup, it is now possible to take such little damage for a short period of time that you can survive even in the highest difficulty amidst a horde of enemies. We will show you what you need for the setup.

What exactly does this build do? Specifically, it is about boosting your damage resistance to such heights that even the toughest attacks cannot harm you. In fact, with the presented setup, under ideal conditions, you achieve a damage resistance of 75% while having absurd armor values.

That this setup works is proven by the following video, in which a player stands amidst a horde of enemies and loses almost no health. The video was notably recorded in Nightmare mode, the toughest difficulty of Remnant: From the Ashes.

You need to align your armor, traits and mods in such a way that you achieve the maximum possible damage resistance. The core of the build is the Void Armor and its new trait, which grants either bonuses to armor or damage based on incoming or outgoing damage.

The exact combination was found by Redditor Turbulencee, and it is aptly named the Immortal Build. We will explain what items you need for this setup and how to activate the “perfect” defense.

Remnant: From the Ashes Archetypes

These items, traits, and mods are needed for the Immortal Build

These equipments you need to collect: You will probably need to collect a bit before you have gathered all parts. However, thanks to our list, you will at least know where to look. The adventure mode is suitable for most items:

  • The Void Armor – Activate the Checkpoint Monolith on Rhom and complete the simple plate puzzle at the entrance. The solution to the riddle can be found on the back of the tower. Inside the tower, you can acquire the armor for 2,500 scrap.
  • Mother’s Ring – Can be found randomly in an area on Earth. Increases damage resistance against ranged attacks by 20%.
  • Guardian’s Ring – Can be purchased from the traveling merchant on Yaesha for 100,000 scrap. Increases damage resistance against melee attacks by 15%.
  • Scythe of the Reaver – Give the Heart of the Beast to the Eternal King to receive the Scythe of the Reaver as a reward. This grants you lifesteal on melee hits.
  • Mod Immunity of the Howler – Defeat the dog Maul on Rhom. This event is random. You may need to reset the world multiple times.
Remnant: From the Ashes Yaesha Pan Jungle

These traits you should level to maximum: The traits help you take less damage and allow the mods to be used more frequently.

  • Blessing of the Mother – Received after the horde assault in the church on Earth. Grants up to 20% resistance against ranged attacks.
  • Blessing of the Guardians – Defeat the Seed Horror on Yaesha, which later hangs around at the merchant after you encounter it for the first time. Increases resistance to melee attacks by up to 20%.
  • Thick Hide – Speak with the Wailing Tree on Earth when you are wearing the Mask of Rot. You obtain this mask randomly in two ways at certain events on Earth. Once in the horde event at the gallows, and another time with an underground merchant, who you have to ask about his mask. This trait increases your armor value.
  • Recovery – Speak with Navun on Yaesha. Increases the effectiveness of healing items.
  • Inspiration – Increases the mod build rate. Ex-Cultists have this trait from the start; all others must complete the supply event on Earth, which also rewards the assault rifle.

Remnant: From the Ashes Traits – All traits and how to unlock them
von Micha Deckert

How do you extract the maximum defense power from the build? When you are hit while wearing the Void Armor, you gain a defensive stack. At three stacks, your armor increases by 30%. With Thick Hide, you already have 677.5 armor with the Void Armor. With the bonus, you will become the super tank.

By using the traits, rings, and mods, you also achieve 75% damage resistance. Combine this with a Golden Plum and a Blood Tincture, and you will take less damage than you can heal. Especially in Nightmare mode, you can thus survive tricky situations without harm.

Remnant: From the Ashes Goat Monsters

Which amulet and weapons should I equip? Here you have the choice. Take what you like. Leto’s Amulet is recommended, as it allows you to dodge and roll faster despite the heavy armor. For weapons, the Destroyer is a good choice since you can be revived with the mod when it is charged.

What are the disadvantages of the build? It is very defensive. Especially in Nightmare mode, you also need to deal high damage to progress quickly. Invest in traits that increase your ranged damage, critical hit chance, and critical hit damage.

The build plays best in co-op mode. If you have a damage dealer with you, you can completely focus on drawing aggro and reviving your teammates. If that all seems too easy, you can trade a ring for the Admiral’s Ring.

Have you tried the build yet? What do you think of it?

FIFA 20 shows in the Pitch Notes: Everything changes with the Icons

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 20, the Icons will no longer be available in the usual way. EA Sports is trying something new. Here is how you will get the Icons in the future.

This is how you used to get Icons: There were several ways to obtain Icons. You either got them with a lot of luck from packs, bought them with a lot of money on the transfer market, or exchanged them in Icon SBCs.

All three methods were usually very expensive. After all, many Icons are still stronger than the best normal cards in the game. The chance of getting Icons in packs was low, the prices on the market were high, and you also had to throw in very strong players in the SBCs to get an Icon. All of this is set to change now.

What FIFA 20 changes about Icons

Versions will be distributed: There are a total of 89 Icons in FIFA 20. Each of them will receive four different versions.

  • Base Icon
  • Mid Icon
  • Prime Icon
  • Prime Icon Moments

These four forms were also available in FIFA 19. However, the sudden introduction of Prime Icon Moments caused some frustration among players. EA has now clearly communicated when exactly you can pull which versions from packs.

Source: EA Sports

Both the Base and Mid forms can be pulled directly from packs at the beginning. Prime Icons will be available from December, and the Moments will follow in February. The Icon versions in Draft will also adhere to these schedules.

What changes with Prime Icon Moments: The Prime Icon Moments will remain the strongest version of each Icon card. However, since they are oriented around specific moments in the legends’ careers, the new cards may differ from the known Prime Icon Moments of FIFA 19. So there could be new top cards.

What FIFA 20 changes for Icon SBCs

Will there still be Icon SBCs? The answer to this question is, in the broadest sense: “No”. The known SBCs, in which you exchanged strong players for a specific Icon, will no longer exist in this form.

EA says: “We want to make Icons accessible to a larger group of players.” The crux of the matter: For the Icon SBCs, you almost always needed another Icon player to trade.

EA concluded that Base Icons only had the status of SBC fodder and were hardly used in teams anymore. Additionally, the long-term solution for SBCs led to strong price fluctuations on the transfer market for SBC-suitable Icons and the absolute top legends.

drogba icon fifa 20
Will not be available as a single SBC: Drogba

What changes: In FIFA 20, there will be no SBCs where you have to exchange Icons. Additionally, the minimum price for Icons will be reduced from 102,000 coins to 63,750 coins.

There will still be Icon Pack SBCs from which you can pull a guaranteed Icon. However, you will not know which one it is. Individual Icon SBCs will no longer exist. Instead, FIFA 20 introduces the new Icon Swap system.

Icon Swaps: The new way to get legends

What Icon Swaps are: The new Icon Swap system is based on the known FUT Swaps from FIFA 19. It works in three steps:

  • Complete tasks
  • Get Player Tokens
  • Exchange Player Tokens

There will be a total of three major Icon Swaps throughout the year. Each Icon Swap will include a selection of at least 20 Icons. Important: If an Icon card was available in one of the Swaps, it will not be included in future Swaps. This means, for example, that Prime-Drogba will not be part of the remaining two Icon Swaps if his Base form is available in the first Icon Swap.

Each Icon card will need a specific number of Player Tokens. It is to be expected that a Crespo with 85 rating will cost fewer Tokens than an Owen with 91. So choose wisely for whom you spend your Tokens.

The Player Tokens will be released gradually throughout each Swap release. Important: Player Tokens from Icon Swap 1 cannot be used in Icon Swap 2 or 3.

The first Icon Swap: The first selection of exchangeable Icons is already known. The first Icon Swap starts on October 11 and ends in December.

Source: EA Sports

What does this mean? As you will likely receive Player Tokens through objectives, it will be possible to earn Icons like Zidane or Kaká in a way. This will potentially make it easier to obtain Icons without having to spend too much time on the transfer market.

All Icons that you can obtain in FIFA 20 can be found here:

Pokémon GO: That’s why you can now hatch more regional Pokémon

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can now hatch even more regional Pokémon. Niantic has increased the number of eggs from gifts.

What has changed? Until now, you could only get a 7-km egg from a friend’s gift. However, now you have the chance to receive 2 eggs per gift.

After many players expressed their frustration over the low daily limit for opening gifts, this is now a good compromise. After all, you can now receive more eggs from gifts again.

More eggs from gifts – What this means for you

How many eggs can you get now? Exact probabilities cannot be stated yet. However, the fact is that not every gift will guarantee 2 eggs. There are still gifts that contain no eggs.

Pokémon GO 7KM Egg

Previously, you received about 12-15 eggs from 20 gifts. Now it could easily be 20 eggs, as you can now receive 2 eggs more often.

What does this mean for players? More eggs also means better chances of finding regional Pokémon that can be Shiny. Currently, you can find Porenta, Pantimos, Tauros, and Kangama in the 7-km eggs.

The chance of getting a Shiny increases as well. The Shiny rate is about 1 in 30 to 1 in 50. Until now, it often wasn’t due to bad luck, but rather because one simply couldn’t obtain any more 7-km eggs.

Now you can get more eggs, and surely some players will also be rewarded with a Shiny.

Pokémon GO regional Shiny Tauros Kangama Pantimos Porenta

How long will this change last? This feature is unfortunately limited to a few days. Already next Monday, September 23, you will again receive a maximum of one egg from gifts. The reason for this is the end of the Ultra Bonus at 10 PM.

Currently, you can also find Mewtwo in raids. We will show you how you can defeat it with four players:

Guild Wars 2: How to reach the hidden place in the Shattered Steppes

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The new Guild Wars 2 patch “Bound by Blood” is here and it holds many tasks for you. However, anyone looking to explore the map or collect all the coins will inevitably face a riddle.

What is the problem in the Gorthmar Valley? In the middle of the new map, which was introduced with the prologue, lies the Shattered Steppes. There is a sight that is essential for map exploration.

It is hidden behind a door that you cannot simply open. Behind the door, you will also find:

  • The achievement “Carving Hunt” with 3 achievement points
  • The Ancient Grothmar Coin No. 5
  • The beginning of the collection “Eyes for Ears”
  • The Ash Training Course adventure
More on the topic
Guild Wars 2 says: We want to bring you something exciting every month
von Alexander Leitsch

How do you get to the sight? To find the secret hideout of the Ash Legion, you need to interact with runes on trees in the War Hill.

You need to address four of the seven trees in the correct order. We have marked the trees for you on the map:

In what order must the trees be activated? When you interact with a tree in the correct order, you will hear a faint click.

The exact order cannot currently be said with 100% certainty. It seems to vary daily. Currently, the order looks like this:

DayOrder
Tuesday, 17.9.1 – 2 – 5 – 6
Wednesday, 18.9.1 – 2 – 3 – 4
Thursday, 19.9.1 – 6 – 4 – 8
Friday, 20.9.1 – 4 – 2 – 6
Thursday, 26.9.1 – 8 – 4 – 2

We will expand the table in the coming days to see if a pattern emerges. By the way, you can always find the up-to-date trees in the Ash Legion’s camp with Malice, scratched into a table in a tent.

What happens with the wrong order? If you interact with the trees in the wrong order, you will start to burn. It’s easy to quickly determine the order in which you need to interact with the trees through trial and error.

What else happens in the prologue? In “Bound by Blood” there are plenty of activities and tasks to complete. Additionally, there are many story contents and the first new assault mission.

Our author Alexander Leitsch has already played the prologue and written down his experiences.

One of the four content teams worked on the prologue, but what is the rest doing? We will tell you:

The patch notes of WoW 8.2.5 have some unexpected highlights

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has released the patch notes for the upcoming WoW update 8.2.5. Among them are some highlights that no one expected.

For a while now, the upcoming patch 8.2.5 of World of Warcraft has been on the PTR. Slowly, it seems that the testing phase is coming to an end, as Blizzard has released the official patch notes that inform about all the new features and details. In addition to the expected innovations such as the “Party Sync” feature, there are also other highlights that we want to briefly present to you here.

Event Transmog for the whole year: With the Lunar Festival (taking place in January), players can complete a new quest. This quest ensures that the flower crowns that were given as rewards for the festival are upgraded. This will make it possible to use the flower crowns as transmogrification items throughout the year! This is an improvement that fans have been demanding for years.

So far, it has only been possible to use rewards from holiday events during the respective holidays.

Whether the other events and their special clothing will receive such an upgrade remains to be seen.

New things in the Black Market AH: Not entirely unexpectedly comes the announcement that there will be new content in the Black Market Auction House. We are talking about “new mounts, enchantments, and transmogrifiable gear”. Which enchantments and equipment this pertains to is still not entirely clear. However, the mounts are likely to be mounts like the Zhevra that were available through the old “Recruit a Friend” system and are now gone.

We will probably only receive the full list of these new items in the weeks following the patch release.

Patch 8.2.5 will also have 2 really big cinematics…

Gold and War Resources for Max Level: If you have already brought your necklace (Heart of Azeroth) to level 70 and can’t make use of Artifact Power anymore, you will instead receive gold or war resources as a reward from world quests. This way, world quests should continue to provide an incentive to be completed.

WoW Gold Goblin title

Auction House Security Lock: If you like to shop in the auction house, you will be pleased with this small change. If you want to make a purchase that costs more than 50,000 gold coins, you now have to confirm this action in an additional dialog box. This should reduce the frequency of “mistaken purchases” – as these cannot be undone in the auction house.

You can view the complete patch notes with all details here on the official WoW site.

When is patch 8.2.5 coming out? There is still no official release date. However, it can only be a matter of weeks until the update finally goes live, as the associated “Recruit a Friend” system is expected to start “in the coming weeks”. So, logically, the patch must be released by then.

Are you looking forward to patch 8.2.5? Or do you currently have other games, like WoW Classic, that take up all your time?

Destiny 2 shows new gameplay for Shadowkeep, even for a mini-raid on the moon

Christopher Dietrich Christopher Dietrich Reading time 4 minutes

Before Shadowkeep starts, Bungie wants to explain to players what they can expect soon in Destiny 2. Now they have shown new gameplay scenes from the expansion.

Where can we see the new gameplay? On Bungie’s official YouTube channel, the developers provided a new behind-the-scenes look yesterday. They not only talked about many innovations of Shadowkeep – most of which are already known – but also repeatedly showed exciting gameplay scenes that we had not seen before.

What kind of mini-raid? In the video, you can see both new material from Shadowkeep’s campaign and some upcoming activities. Among other things, we get a little insight into what the upcoming dungeon will look like. This can be seen as a kind of mini-raid – the Broken Throne, the only dungeon currently in Destiny 2, was also dubbed as such.

Additionally, we see the first boss of the dungeon and learn more about the new Nightfall modes.

Note: Spoilers ahead!

More from the dungeon and new Nightfall modes

This could be the boss from the Shadowkeep dungeon

This is what the new dungeon in Shadowkeep looks like: In the dungeon, you must delve into the depths of the Moon in the Scarlet Fortress. You fight your way from top to bottom until you carve your path into the abyss. However, many traps await you. This includes huge rollers with dangerous spikes. You should keep your distance and be careful.

Many dangers and traps lurk in the depths of the dungeon

The dungeon is supposed to provide a raid experience but is instead played with a 3-player fireteam. At the end of the activity, we see a cool Cabal Knight, who might also be the boss of the dungeon. In his hand, he holds a gigantic, flaming sword.

How do dungeons work in Destiny 2? So far, there is only the dungeon “The Broken Throne”, which was introduced with Shadowkeep in the Dreaming City. It is also a 3-player activity. The dungeon activities are aimed at all players who have always wanted to play a raid but have not been able to gather a 6-player fireteam so far.

Raids have been considered the absolute highlight of the game since Destiny 1 due to their mechanics. Unfortunately, they are played by very few players. Dungeons are therefore a good alternative.

One of the champions from the new Nightfall modes

This is the new Nightfall mode “The Crucible”: In the video, they also show new Nightfall modes. Bungie calls these “Nightfall: The Crucible”. Players can choose between different difficulty levels and encounter Champion enemies in the strikes. The champions are the new, toughest foes in the new Nightfall modes. In the future, it will be important that you prepare your character for these enemies in the endgame and master the hardest level. The seasonal artifacts are supposed to support you, with their infinite power grind, in this task.

There will be four different difficulty levels for the new Nightfall modes:

  • Adept – Power Level 750 is recommended
  • Hero – Power Level 920 is recommended
  • Legend – Power Level 950 is recommended
  • Master – Power Level 980 is recommended

The higher the difficulty, the greater the chance of receiving the rewards you want. These rewards from the Master rank include, according to the video, Enhancement Prisms, Ascendant Shards, and exotic gear.

A vibrant and growing game world

How has the game developed so far? So far, the seasons in Destiny 2 have been independent of each other. They do not follow a major overarching narrative or influence the entire game world. Instead, each season tells its own little story. However, these usually have nothing to do with the main events in the game world. This is supposed to change now.

What does Bungie want to change now? The developers want players to feel like they are embarking on a journey together with them. They no longer want to dictate or prescribe to players what they should experience.

They want to give the Guardians the feeling that they are responsible for some of the events in the world and to push the game world forward in meaningful ways. Bungie aims to build the best version of Destiny 2. All these changes are mainly aimed at players who love Destiny.

Bungie’s vision is an action MMO in a single evolving world. In this world, everything should be interconnected. According to the developers, Shadowkeep is the first step in the right direction. The expansions serve as anchors for the actions, and the story is supposed to continue from season to season, changing the game world.

All of this is told in this new ViDoc. In it, you can see some new gameplay scenes, some of which also contain spoilers. At minute 6:50, you can see more of the dungeon:

LoL: Issues with ticket sales for Worlds Finals – Prices over $600

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The highlight for many fans of League of Legends is the big World Finals, which this time take place in three locations. However, a problem with ticket sales leaves many fans empty-handed.

These are the Worlds 2019: Here, the best LoL players compete to determine which team is the strongest. Those who do particularly well end up in one of the 4 Finals, which will also take place in Berlin.

Anyone who wants to be there as a spectator must purchase a highly sought-after ticket in advance. However, there have now been problems with this, causing many fans to be on the ticket portals at the wrong time and unable to get any tickets.

Problems with ticket purchasing – What happened?

What players are complaining about: On Reddit, a fan complains that the event venue’s website in Paris stated a sales start time for tickets of 4:00 PM. However, on other platforms like Ticketmaster, tickets were already offered 2 hours earlier. By 4:00 PM, everything was sold out and the fan was left without a ticket.

It seems that many potential spectators experienced the same situation, as the thread on Reddit has garnered over 14,000 upvotes.

How are the organizers reacting? Under the Reddit thread, a representative from Riot comments on the incident. He says: “The early sale accounted for only a small portion of the total available tickets. It was intended for our partners who had to secure tickets through the ticket portal this year.”

Although the early sale was presumably only intended for Riot partners, it seems that other customers also jumped on it. It is no wonder that by 4:00 PM, according to the Reddit user, the tickets were already sold out.

This is particularly bitter: For the fans who went empty-handed, there are even more reasons to be upset. Various third-party sellers are now listing the tickets for immense sums on their platforms.

For the event in Paris, some vendors are already charging prices of $700 for a ticket (via Dexerto). Normally, the tickets cost between 15 and 80 Euros.

On German ticket portals, tickets for the event in Berlin are also being traded. There, some ticket auctions are already well over 100 Euros. So even here, fans have to dig deeper into their pockets.

Fortnite down: Servers offline for maintenance – what’s in update 10.31?

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

Today, on Wednesday the 18th, the Fortnite servers will be taken down on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). A new update will be deployed. How long will the maintenance work take and what does the patch bring? MeinMMO has the answers!

What’s going on today in Fortnite? As in every week, there will be a new update in Fortnite. However, something is different this time. Normally, smaller updates are purely content updates without maintenance. This week is different. The reason for this is not known.

The assumption at least is that Epic wants to fix some problems in the game that have occurred since the last update. The big battle robot is still causing issues.

Update 12:10 PM: The patch 10.31 is now here and can be played by you. Some bugs have been fixed and the zip-lines are returning. We show you in the patch notes what is changing.

Fortnite servers are going down – when and for how long?

Downtime starts in the morning: At 9:30 AM German time, you can join a new lobby for the last time. At 10 AM, the servers will no longer be accessible and Fortnite will be down.

How long will the maintenance take? Since this is a content patch, the maintenance duration should remain manageable. We expect that you will be able to rejoin by lunchtime at the latest.

Fortnite-Vote-1140x445

Technical issues may delay the maintenance work. If this is the case, you will of course find out here.

When will the patch notes be released? What is changing in the update will be revealed to us later this time. Fortnite has announced that they will publish the patch notes only after the downtime. But you will find them right here on MeinMMO.

What new content does update 10.31 bring?

What new things will there be in Battle Royale mode? The information situation is also extremely thin this week. Epic announced the update with the words “It’s time to mobilize”. In the forums, some players are already sarcastically talking about making the robots even faster.

Title image Season X Trailer

Presumably, either the jetpacks are returning or a new item that makes players faster (the hop rocks for example?). We will learn more precisely only with the patch notes. An event for the planned raid on Area 51 is also possible, as appropriate skins have already been leaked.

What does the update bring for the Save the World mode? PvE players have been complaining for a long time about a lack of content in Save the World. The current patch will likely change little in that regard. Players can only hope for a new rocket launcher.

What do you think? What will today’s update bring?

Borderlands 3 – What rewards do you get when you tip Mad Moxxi?

Larissa Then Larissa Then Reading time 3 minutes

Borderlands 3 features a lot of crazy weapons. You can get some of them from the delightfully quirky Mad Moxxi when you fill her tip jar.

The Borderlands series has always been known for its huge selection of wacky weapons. You can obtain them in various ways. You can defeat enemies or complete quests. One way to get nice weapons is through Mad Moxxi. This lovely barmaid is happy to supply you with firearms – if you tip her for it.

Which weapons do you get from Mad Moxxi? Of course, the good Mad Moxxi has several weapons on offer:

  • The Crit
  • The Hail

Short and sweet, and familiar to many from Borderlands 2. In Borderlands 3, you can get both weapons in various versions.

What can Mad Moxxi’s weapons do?

The Crit is one of the two weapons from Mad Moxxi. Some of you might remember it from the second part of the Borderlands series. There, you received the weapon from Tiny Tina.

What are the properties of The Crit? The Crit is a weapon of epic rarity. It has shock damage, making it very effective against blue shields. The weapon is produced by the company Maliwan, one of the 9 weapon manufacturers in Borderlands 3.

The exact stats of the gun depend on its level. The version shown here, Agile Crit, gives you a bonus to critical damage, as well as to fire rate and reload speed.

Attention! The Crit has a 12% chance of being dropped while reloading – “Slippery when wet.”!

The other weapon is The Hail. The Hail might also be familiar to many. This weapon already existed in Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel.

What are the properties of The Hail? With this weapon, you don’t shoot your ammunition straight ahead, but in an arc. You need to factor this in when firing. Additionally, you can choose between two methods to play this weapon. You can use it fully automatic, or in a 3-shot burst. The Hail is made by the manufacturer Dahl.

Borderlands 3 The Hail Mad Moxxi

For The Hail, the exact properties of the weapon also depend on the level. In the case of the version Decaying Deft Hail, you get a bonus to critical damage, your accuracy, and reload speed.

How do you get the weapons?

Mad Moxxi and her tip jar. You receive the weapons from Mad Moxxi when you pay her tips. You can find Moxxi in her bar on Sanctuary 3. You need to go through the left door and down the hallway. You can’t miss the bar since it has “Moxxxis” written in large neon letters.

On her counter, you’ll find a jar labeled “Tip.” You need to drop a tip for Mad Moxxi there. You can do this either with $100 or $1000 at once. If you’ve put enough money in, she promises you a reward. You will then receive it through your mail system.

The amount of the tip seems to vary. The YouTuber Glitching Queen had success with $15,000, $30,000, and $40,000:

And the money can really pay off. Mad Moxxi’s weapons were also strong in the previous game. Especially, they can shine with their elements. If you keep tipping Mad Moxxi, she will reward you with different versions of both weapons.

Patch from September 17 – Patch Notes

Changes to the heroes: In addition to the new challenge, Blizzard is changing some of the heroes in Overwatch.

  • Bastion: Self-repair no longer costs resources when used at maximum hit points and now allows Bastion to regenerate for 0.25 seconds before firing again.
  • Symmetra: The width of her primary fire beam has been reduced from 0.3 to 0.2 meters, and damage from 65/130/195 to 60/120/180.
  • Zarya: The width of the primary fire beam is now 0.15 meters regardless of energy and deals 170 damage per second at maximum energy, instead of 190.
Zarya Overwatch Particle Gun

The new hero Sigma‘s abilities have been adjusted:

  • The damage of Hyperspheres has been reduced from 35 to 30.
  • The Experimental Barrier now has a toggle function and a hack from Sombra makes it return to Sigma. An EMP destroys it completely.
  • The explosion damage of Accretion has been increased from 50 to 60.
  • The duration of Gravitational Flux has been increased from 0.4 to 0.6 seconds.

Some new features have been added to the Workshop as well as bug fixes. On the official website, you can find the complete patch notes in English.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on September 17 – The last Iron Banner in Year 2 begins

In Destiny 2, today, on September 17th, is the Weekly Reset. The last Iron Banner of Year 2 begins, and there are fresh activities to master.

What is happening today in Destiny 2? Today is quite an eventful Tuesday in Destiny 2. The Year 2 is nearing its end, Shadowkeep is just around the corner, and the last Year 2 activities are finishing or starting:

  • Today, the Triumph Moments 2019 come to an end. If you do not have the Triumphs for the T-shirt or the title yet, you have missed your chance.
  • Additionally, you need to install Update 2.5.2.3 today to continue playing Destiny 2. This update makes the billing easier, among other things.
  • And the last Iron Banner PvP event of Year 2 starts.

Under the watchful eyes of Lord Saladin, you can compete in the Iron Banner for a week. It runs from September 17th to September 24th – when the last Year 2 week before Shadowkeep begins.

If you are not familiar with the latest changes in the Iron Banner, you can find them here:

The Hearthstone adventure “Grave Diggers of Dread” is now live

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Solo players have a lot to do in Hearthstone again. In the latest adventure, you explore the Tombs of Terror.

Just a few minutes ago, the latest patch of Hearthstone went live, which unlocked the new adventure “Tombs of Terror”. This is the solo campaign that belongs to the current expansion “Saviors of Uldum”, which started a few weeks ago with 135 new cards .

What is included in the adventure? The adventure “Tombs of Terror” consists of a total of 5 chapters, with the first serving as the introduction and the last as the finale. As is now “customary”, you can choose from several heroes (the characters of the League of Explorers) and must fight your way through multiple dungeons.

For every victory, you receive new (temporary) cards and valuable treasures, with which you gradually build an hopefully unbeatable deck. But the enemies will also become tougher, and each encounter has a different special twist or unique mechanic.

We have listed the rewards available in the “Tombs of Terror” for you here.

How much does the expansion cost? The first chapter of the adventure is free and is meant to give a small taste. The other chapters, however, cost real money or gold and will be released at later dates.

  • The entire package costs 15 Euros.
  • Individual chapters cost 6.99 Euros or 700 Gold.

However, only the first two chapters are currently available. The other chapters will come in the coming weeks.

  • Chapter 3 starts on September 24.
  • Chapter 4 and the finale will be available on October 1.

Who is the Tombs of Terror suitable for? As usual, the focus in solo adventures is on fun rather than rewards in the form of card packs. Just like with the Dalaran adventure, this mode is primarily aimed at players who enjoy crazy solo adventures with funny combinations and want to escape from the “everyday” Hearthstone.

Are you already playing the “Tombs of Terror”? Or did you not like the introduction chapter at all?
