Player levels Dwarven Priest in WoW Classic only via his mobile phone – Here’s how to do it

In WoW Classic , a player has reported that he is leveling his Dwarf Priest by controlling it with a mobile phone via Steam Link. This raises questions among players. The reactions to this WoW Mobile are mixed.

This is the clip: A clip has been circulating on reddit since yesterday, showing a Dwarf Priest steadily taking down three Gnolls. The clip lasts 1 minute and 36 seconds.

The Gnolls are defeated one after another as the Priest heals himself.

The interesting part: The Priest is apparently controlled via a mobile phone. It is not the usual control with mouse and keyboard, but a touch board that is being used.

“Personal Classic WoW Mobile”

What the player says: He claims to have created his personal “Classic WoW Mobile” and can play from about 160 kilometers away from his PC.

It runs quite well; there is hardly any input lag, and no significant difficulties arise. He thinks he could even heal a dungeon this way.

To play from such a distance is the only way for him to enjoy WoW Classic. He has so much to do that he can’t find time to sit at his PC for hours.

How did he manage that? In short:

  • He installed “Steam Link” on his mobile phone
  • set up a network
  • added WoW to Steam as a “Non-Steam” game
  • enabled the controller setting on the phone and configured WoW to fit everything – for this, he had to overcome a variety of smaller hurdles

A detailed guide with links and tricks about which settings were changed can be found here in English (via reddit).

Is that allowed? The player cannot guarantee that: He says: It may violate the terms of use of WoW, but personally, he is not interested.

The vision becomes reality.

“Looks like we really have phones”

Here are the reactions: On reddit, there are several reactions to this clip. The thread has nearly 1000 comments:

Diablo Immortal Combat Group
The controversial Diablo Immortal is a mobile game by Blizzard.
  • Others are impressed by the performance: They say that no one would have dreamed in 2006 that you could play something like WoW on mobile.
  • One warns, however: “Buddy, don’t give Blizzard any ideas.”
  • And someone even says: “I respect the work, but this is really not what WoW Classic needs. A mobile adaptation is the worst way to play a normal PC game.”

FIFA 20 includes the 100 best players in FUT, but does not reveal their ratings

In FIFA 20, the top 100 players are now officially known. EA Sports reveals their cards in FUT 20 – but without ratings.

Update: Here you can find the article with the ratings of the top 100 in FIFA 20.

What has been revealed now? On September 6, EA Sports started the big, annual ratings reveal. But differently than in previous years. Instead of revealing the top 100 gradually along with ratings, they are now only showing the 100 best players. Their ratings will follow on September 9 – so next Monday.

Today, EA Sports presents a short trailer that illustrates how elaborate the ratings are determined. According to the trailer, players must undergo intensive tests, allowing the values for passing, shooting, dribbling, and so on to be precisely determined. This is, of course, just for fun, but still quite cool:

Destiny 2 removes 4 PvP maps, introduces a completely new one – This is all changing Shaxx

In Destiny 2, Bungie shows how Lord Shaxx is changing the PvP experience with Shadowkeep. A completely new map is coming, and 4 old ones will be removed for now.

This brings more variety to the Crucible: Since the Forsaken release a year ago, little has changed in the Crucible. Guardians have been waiting in vain for innovative new features or fresh PvP maps. Therefore, the PvP area of Destiny 2 has been criticized for some time.

With Shadowkeep, Lord Shaxx has had enough of the old Crucible and is throwing a lot out. With each new season, the PvP experience should be a little different from the previous one. For this, the list of PvP maps will be revised – some maps will be removed and are expected to be improved.

The following 4 PvP maps will be removed from all playlists first:

  • The Death Cliffs – a map in the EDZ on Earth
  • Legion’s Gulch – also a map in the EDZ
  • Retribution – a PvP map on a Cabal ship above Mars
  • Solitude – a PvP map on Mars
destiny-2-death-cliffs
The Death Cliffs will soon no longer be in the playlists

Bungie states that – if time allows – they will revisit these maps. The spawn areas, ammunition spawns, and general structure are to be changed so that they return better than before.

Additionally, some maps will be removed from playlists where they could not shine.

  • Equinox will only appear in the modes Breakthrough, Iron Banner, and Scorched
  • Fortress Echo can only be found in the modes Domination, Iron Banner, and Breakthrough
destiny-2-equinox
Equinox

New map reminiscent of the Dreaming City + Frosted Vale

These maps are new in Destiny 2: With Shadowkeep, there will be three new PvP maps for the Guardians.

Two maps from the Destiny 1 era will return in Season 8:

  • Widow’s Court
  • Duskfall

Additionally, there will be a completely new map:

  • Fragment

For the Fragment map, Bungie shows this image. The map is supposed to remind one of a mix between Dreaming City and Frosted Vale :

fragment destiny 2
The new map Fragment

What else is new in the PvP playlists?

These PvP changes are coming: Besides the new maps, there are plenty of changes to the PvP playlists:

  • There are no more Quickplay and Competitive playlists in the Crucible Navigator.
  • A similar experience to Quickplay is now offered by the “Classic Mix” – Here, matchmaking particularly focuses on connection quality. This playlist includes the modes Control, Conflict, and Domination.
  • Competitive is replaced by a 3v3 Survival mode (gives Glory)
  • A Solo Survival playlist is coming (also gives Glory)
  • A 6v6 Control will be added as its own playlist. Here, especially newcomers can have fun, according to Bungie, and find their footing in the Crucible.
  • There will be a playlist for 4v4 and 6v6, in which modes like Conflict, Domination, Iron Banner, Lockdown, or Countdown will rotate weekly.

Your Crucible Navigator will look like this:

destiny new crucible

But that’s not all that the Crucible overseer Lord Shaxx has to offer in Shadowkeep. The elimination mode that many Guardian veterans know from the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 1 returns via Crucible Labs in Destiny 2.

They will test several variants of the elimination mode to find out how this format performs with the new weapons and abilities in Destiny 2.

There’s a new feature in 6v6 playlists: When a Guardian picks up Heavy ammo from a crate, their teammates have 7 seconds to interact with the same Heavy ammo crate and pick up Heavy ammo.

If a sneaky enemy from the other team picks up the ammo first, it will be marked red for you – you will not be able to touch it anymore.

This change is only active in 6v6 modes.

Through these “shared ammo crates”, all players receive less Heavy ammo than from “unshared crates” in 4v4 or 3v3. The amount of ammo you get from it is fixed. It doesn’t matter whether 2 team members or 5 team members interact with the crate.

This treasure hunt in GTA Online saves you money in Red Dead Online

In this treasure hunt in GTA 5 Online, you will save a lot of gold in Red Dead Online. We will show you how this works in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and what you need to know.

What kind of event is this? A major update is coming to Red Dead Online. This unlocks the three roles “Bounty Hunter”, “Trader”, and “Collector”. Normally, unlocking these roles costs 15 gold. However, for the Collector, there is an event related to GTA Online.

Whoever collects all 54 playing cards in GTA Online saves 15 gold bars in Red Dead Online for the collector’s bag. This is the unlock for the Collector role, which you can earn through the treasure hunt in GTA Online.

The effort is worth it. 25 gold bars cost €9.99 in the Red Dead Online shop. This is the smallest package available.

This is how the treasure hunt with the playing cards works in GTA Online

Where should you search? Throughout the entire map of GTA Online, the developers have hidden playing cards. These are poker cards that are noticeable by a glowing effect when you are nearby.

GTA 5 Online playing card found

A total of 54 of these cards are hidden. Collecting them grants you a small amount of chips that you can spend in the new casino of GTA Online. Additionally, you will unlock an outfit.

In our guide, we show you where to find each of the 54 playing cards in GTA Online.

Reward in Red Dead Online – Unlock collector for free

What is the Collector? For the major summer update in Red Dead Online, Rockstar announced three roles that offer you new activities.

Red Dead Online new roles
  • As a Bounty Hunter, you roam the area tracking down characters who are wanted. There is even a prisoner transport involved.
  • The Trader travels through the world of Red Dead Online procuring materials by hunting animals.
  • The Collector scours the map for valuable treasures that he can sell directly. Alternatively, he can also sell complete sets for even more money.

Once you have found all 54 playing cards in GTA Online, you save the down payment of 15 gold bars for the Collector and receive the collector’s bag for free.

Even though this treasure hunt will surely take you an hour, it is worth your time. We recommend completing this search to grab the role of the Collector in RDO for free. This way, you will also have money left for the new Battle Pass that Red Dead Online will receive.

How the new roles in Red Dead Online work and what benefits they bring, we will show you here:

Blizzard warns: Move to Steam with Destiny 2, or you might not be able to play soon

Some of you must have been surprised today: In an email, Blizzard urgently reminded that Destiny 2 is soon moving from Battle.net to Steam. By the release of Shadowkeep, you need to have migrated your account to the new platform, as the shooter will no longer be available on Battle.net after October 1.

What is this email about? Today, on September 6, Blizzard sent an email to all Destiny 2 players who have previously been on the PC in the name of light. In the email, the studio once again urgently points out that the shooter is moving from Battle.net to Steam with the release of the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep.

Destiny 2 Blizzard Email Steam Move
This email reminds that Destiny 2 will move to Steam on October 1

When does Destiny 2 move? Destiny 2 will be available on Blizzard’s Battle.net until September 30. After that, Bungie’s shooter will celebrate its release on Valve’s gaming platform Steam.

However, this also means that the PC players among you must have linked their Battle.net and Steam accounts by this date. Starting October 1, you will no longer be able to access Destiny 2 through Battle.net, as the title will simply no longer be available on the platform from that date.

destiny 2 vex armor

How to switch to Steam? The move of Destiny 2, or the migration from Battle.net to Steam, has been available along with the Cross-Save connection since August 20. Actually, this feature was supposed to arrive with the release of Shadowkeep, but with the postponement of the expansion, these options were made accessible earlier.

Both options, Steam migration and Cross-Save, can be conveniently adjusted on the respective websites of Bungie. Just remember to complete your switch from Battle.net to Steam before October 1.

Why is Destiny 2 moving? Earlier this year, Bungie separated from its former publisher Activision Blizzard. The studio Bungie is now solely responsible for the Destiny brand.

With the end of the partnership, it is only logical that the shooter will no longer be available on Blizzard’s Battle.net platform. Therefore, Destiny 2 has found its new home on PC through Steam.

Huge update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne – Here are the highlights in the 33GB patch

A new update for Monster Hunter World is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the big 33GB download, many new features are coming your way. Here are the highlights of the patch notes.

What areas do our highlights cover? The new update brings a range of new features, including comfort adjustments that affect the space in your item chest. However, the most interesting updates are likely in terms of quests and monsters. You can find out what they are here.

There is now more space for everything

Where there was previously limited space, you now have enough slots for your needs. For one, the wish list for your desired equipment has been expanded by several pages. In addition, you now have more slots available for your weapons and armor.

Hooray! Finally more space

The number of possible investigations has also been greatly increased. If you ever have too many investigations, there is now a button that allows you to delete all unregistered investigations.

Cool new features in the quests

Your crashes are now regulated. If you can’t make it to the camp at the start of a quest, your crash is now controlled. You either fall into an area with good gathering points or directly into the area where your target monster is located.

This is happening in multiplayer battles. With the new patch, a two-player mode is being introduced. In addition, your difficulty level will now be adjusted to your number of players in real-time.

You can now use a return option. With the new patch comes a new feature in your quests. You can now specify where you want to return after your quest.

This is happening in dealing with the monsters

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Vulkan-Odogaron

There are also several new features to discover in direct combat with the monsters.

  • The knife attack is strengthened: When mounting a monster, your attack with the knife is strengthened. This allows you to achieve a successful knockdown more quickly.
  • The monsters no longer fall asleep as easily. You now have to be patient if you want to use the sleep trick in Monster Hunter World. A limping monster will only lie down if you are not nearby.
  • Use of the insect glaive is made more difficult: You can no longer use insect glaives for mounting. They are no longer usable as long as a monster is nearby.
  • Lightning capsules are adjusted: If a monster develops a tolerance to lightning attacks, it becomes less vulnerable or even immune. This tolerance will reset after a while.

Pokémon GO: The chance of catching Shiny Skorgla is now 3 times higher – take the opportunity

Good news for shiny hunters! You can now find Shiny Skorgla more often in Pokémon GO.

This is Shiny Skorgla: Skorgla is a Ground and Flying-type Pokémon that resembles a bat. With 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, you can evolve it into Skorgro.

Since the beginning of the “Johto Journey“, you can encounter and catch Skorgla in its shiny form. Shinies have a different color than the normal version of the Pokémon and are very rare. You can also encounter Shiny Wiesor since early September – currently also in raids, just like Skorgla.

Other raid bosses include Raikou, Entei, and Suicune – hopefully also as shiny!

Pokémon GO Johto Journey Title
The Johto Journey brought various bonuses – including the Shinies

Shiny Skorgla appears more frequently

You will encounter Skorgla more often now: According to data from experts at “TheSilphRoad“, the shiny rate for Skorgla in Pokémon GO has changed. At the beginning of the event, the chance for a shiny was also the standard rate of 1 in 450 for Skorgla.

However, after about 24 hours, the rate was improved: Currently, you have about a 1 in 150 chance of encountering a shiny Skorgla and catching it for your collection. How long this rate will last is currently uncertain.

For Wiesor, the shiny rate also seems to differ slightly from the standard values, according to “TheSilphRoad”, but not as clearly as with Skorgla. TheSilphRoad found 45 shinies among 13,857 encounters with Wiesor.

Pokémon GO Shiny Wiesor Skorgla
Shiny Wiesor and Skorgla including their evolutions

This is how trainers are reacting: In the Pokémon subreddit, trainers hope to have more luck in their shiny hunt now. “Skorgla is the shiny I want more than any other. Hopefully, I can get one,” writes a user.

Some trainers have already successfully obtained Shiny Skorgla, while others had more luck with Wiesor. Many are still waiting to encounter the shiny version: “I still have a big fat nothing,” writes for example “Sputnikboy.”

Partially, trainers had trouble finding either Wiesor or Skorgla at all. Some trainers report not observing any spawns of the two Pokémon for a time.

Have you been lucky with the shinies yet? Or are you more interested in other bonuses from the Johto Journey – like an Icognito for example?

WoW Classic: What is the “Layering Exploit” and is it as bad as some say?

A mechanic in WoW Classic allows players to farm faster and more effectively. This was not intended by Blizzard and disrupts honest players. However, the developers downplay the issue, stating that it is not as bad as it seems.

What is being exploited? It concerns the mechanic of layering in WoW Classic. This was supposed to ensure that areas in WoW are not completely overcrowded. Due to the large influx, starting areas are particularly full of players.

To prevent these players from constantly stealing opponents or blocking each other, the world is divided into different “layers.” These are essentially copies of the world on the same server. Players in different layers cannot see each other and therefore cannot steal anything.

This is how the system is exploited: The system should not hinder groups. When someone invites a friend, they bring them onto their layer so they can play together. This usually happens within seconds.

WoW Orcs in line scorpid title 1140x445
If you play together, you are on the same layer.

Players are now exploiting this to be invited into other layers on purpose. They circumvent the respawn of enemies or materials. This makes it easier for them to skill their professions or reach level 60 faster.

For players who want to play without exploits, we have some tips for leveling up quickly in WoW Classic and tricks to get gold faster.

Layering and exploits: How bad is it really

This is what Blizzard and the fans say: “Fair” players now fear that this exploit disadvantages them as exploiters make excessive use of layering, potentially destroying the economy of the entire server.

According to WoW developer Pazorax in the official US forums of WoW, the problem is significantly smaller than many players claim:

We want to assure you that this is a much smaller problem than some people are claiming. We have closely monitored the impact of layering on the economy and other aspects of the game, and many of the stories posted here are simply false.

There were screenshots of banks full of crafting materials that we verified and found to be fake.

WoW-Classic-voll
Servers full of players are a real problem. Overstuffed banks and bags are less of an issue.

In any case, each server only has a single-digit number of layers. Most of them have a rather low number. Claims of dozens of layers per server are false.

This is how the problem will be addressed: Nevertheless, Blizzard wants to take action against the exploit. As a first measure, it is planned to increase the time between transfers between layers. Players who are invited will therefore take longer to switch layers.

In addition, layering is to be disabled in later phases of WoW Classic. This will happen when the player population is better distributed in the world and does not cluster in areas.

With Rogue Company, Hi-Rez Studios has announced a new team shooter that will support crossplay from day one. Players on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch will compete against each other.

What is Rogue Company? Hi-Rez Studios wants to delight you with a new online shooter that focuses on fast battles in small teams. The game is developed by First Watch Games.

The story revolves around the titular Rogue Company, an organization tasked with solving the toughest conflicts in the world. You are one of the Rogue Company mercenaries and participate in the missions.

No Battle Royale, but fast shooter action

What makes this shooter special? Hi-Rez Studios states that it is not a battle royale game like Realm Royale – even if the trailer looks like it – but rather classic shooter fare. Visually, the game with its comic-style look is reminiscent of Overwatch or Fortnite.

You will be in small teams of five players, engaging in fast battles with a variety of weapons. Several maps and different game modes will be available; however, the team wants to talk about these at a later time.

Classes are extremely important. Each player takes on a specific role that has tactical implications for the match outcomes. More information about these roles will also come later. However, it is planned that new mercenaries, maps, and weapons will be added regularly.

The feedback from players will play a significant role in new content.

Rogue Company – Release planned for 2020

For which platforms is the game being released? Rogue Company will be available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A specific release date has not yet been announced. The game is expected to be released in 2020.

Rogue Company will be available for PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store. Whether it will be a free-to-play or buy-to-play game has not yet been disclosed by the developers. However, Hi-Rez games are generally free-to-play.

If you want, you can now sign up for an alpha on the official website. You will be notified once it starts.

Crossplay with all platforms

What about crossplay? Hi-Rez Studios explains that you can play with any Rogue Company player, regardless of which platform you are on. This means the shooter offers crossplay with all platforms and does so right from launch.

Hi-Rez Studios means that it was planned from the beginning to allow you to play with all your friends from the start, regardless of whether they have purchased the title on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch.

How are players reacting to the announcement? Players are curious about what to expect from the shooter. Some think the trailer has a bit of Rainbow Six Siege and already call the title Rainbow Six Siege 2 or Rainbow Six Siege Free2Play.

However, there is still skepticism about whether Hi-Rez Studios can really establish themselves with a new shooter in an already highly competitive market.

This set consists of universal ornaments that you will earn through the premium season rank rewards.

Dota 2: Cheat turns 5vs5 into 18vs5 – Twitch streamer can only laugh

In the MOBA DOTA 2, there’s currently a bizarre cheat circulating that allows a team to start with not 5 heroes, but significantly more. Twitch streamer “cancel”, who witnessed this in his ranked match, could only laugh, as it looked so absurd.

What is going on? Twitch streamer Mihai “canceL” Antonio was streaming ranked play in DOTA 2 when he found himself in a completely unexpected situation.

It quickly became clear that something was off, even as the match was forming in the lobby. As the website dexerto reports, there were already many disconnect and connect messages during the “pick-and-ban” phase.

When the game started, about 13 additional heroes appeared on the Twitch streamer’s side, all bearing the URL of a Russian website in their names, which apparently sells cheats for Dota 2.

The streamer exclaimed, “Dude, what the hell is happening here?” As the army of heroes moved out and headed to the mid lane, Twitch streamer canceL could only laugh.

As reported by dexerto, the streamer then played through the match while laughing. Simply giving up – like this Dota team did particularly foolishly, is normally not an option in ranked play. In the end, canceL reported the bots and queued for the next match in DOTA 2.

Cheaters likely use streamers for marketing

Is this only happening to him? No, at least it’s not an isolated case. Another streamer has also encountered this strange problem.

On reddit , people are discussing the incident and saying, “DOTA 2 seems to have a bit of a cheater problem right now.”

One user there states: But it’s not extraordinarily widespread. These cheaters specifically target streamers and only aim for matches with high matchmaking rankings.

Where does the cheat come from? It seems that these bots initiate a DDoS attack on the game before it starts, resulting in this bizarre situation.

Fortnite removes 3 important weapons – Update came last night, is already live

Fortnite made some hotfix adjustments yesterday, September 5th, at 9:00 PM. Three of the strongest weapons are now in the vault. We will show you which weapons they are.

What are these adjustments? Fortnite tweeted yesterday at 9:00 PM that they made some adjustments to the game. The hotfix adjustments of the Update 10.20. Three weapons were moved to the vault.

These 3 weapons were sent to the vault:

Combat Shotgun: A shotgun that dealt very high damage even at a greater distance. It also stood out due to its ability to shoot and reload quickly.

The Combat Shotgun was already a hot topic right at release in Fortnite.

Source: Amino Apps

Drum Shotgun: This shotgun was known for being able to shoot quickly in succession and having a large magazine. While it didn’t deal as much damage as the Combat Shotgun, it could compensate for that with its faster firing rate.

Proximity Grenade Launcher: Similar to the grenade launcher, it fires grenades. However, the difference lies in the name; these are proximity grenades that only explode when an opponent is nearby. Thus, it could be used similarly to a shotgun and fired directly at the opponent.

Source: Fortnite Fandom

How are players reacting? The majority of players seem to be happy about the new adjustments. There has been a long-standing discussion in the community about whether the Combat Shotgun was too strong.

On Reddit, players particularly complained about the Combat Shotgun, because it:

  • deals the most damage
  • has 10 shots
  • has the longest range
  • has the best fire rate
  • is the most accurate weapon
  • can reload 2 shells at once

As u/Frankie Fishsticks wrote: “The only downside of a Combat Shotgun is: not having one.”

u/Jacktropolis: “Attacking someone with a Combat Shotgun feels unfair, and vice versa.”

Streamers seem to be happy: Streamers like Tfue and SypherPK seem to be pleased about this. They tweeted:

Tfue: “The Combat Shotgun has been vaulted, LET’S GO!!”

WoW Classic opens new German realm – you can transfer for free from your full server

The free character transfers for WoW Classic are now available. To further ease the load on the servers, Blizzard has even opened another PvP realm for Germany: Heartstriker.

These servers are available: Blizzard announced in a new forum post that two of the German realms have been opened for free character transfer. However, the target realm differs from the originally announced realm for the transfer:

  • From Venoxis to Heartstriker
  • From Lucifron to Heartstriker
wow classic server selection with heartstriker

Heartstriker is a new German realm, specifically opened for transfers, which serves as a destination for transitioning players instead of the new realm Transcendence. Heartstriker is a PvP realm where character transfers can only be made in the coming hours. For the moment, it is still locked for creating new characters.

This is how the transfer works: If you want to switch yourself, your characters must meet a few requirements, as explained in the forum:

  • You must not be a guild master.
  • There must be no ongoing auctions in the auction house.
  • There must be no mail in the mailbox.

If you want to swap a character, you can do that directly from the selection screen. However, a transfer can take several hours and cannot be undone.

wow classic character selection lucifron

It may also be that the character’s name must be changed upon reaching the realm. You will then receive a message with the corresponding function.

What is behind Heartstriker?

This is why there was a new realm: The new realm Heartstriker was presumably opened due to greater concerns in the community regarding the originally planned transfer.

Many players feared that Transcendence would also become overloaded due to the switch, as it is already quite full – where “full” really means full. The queue from Lucifron would have simply been postponed, not resolved.

WoW Classic wait time
Lucifron had absurd wait times at times.

Additionally, it was criticized that Venoxis was also already full, even having a partially larger queue than the largest PvE realm Everlook. Heartstriker was meant to prevent both problems.

New realms are generally opened only with caution. Apparently, the demand was greater than expected:

“Holy Sh…!” – This is what an ETF expert says about the future of The Division 2

In The Division 2, there are finally first statements about the future of the game. An ETF member breaks the silence, and the community is excited about the little information.

Who provided the information? The YouTuber LtBuzzLitebeer is currently in Sweden to talk with Massive as a selected member of the Elite Task Force, the “ETF”, about the upcoming changes in The Division 2.

A few hours ago, he tweeted his first assessment of the ETF workshop. With the conclusion: “Holy s…!!!”.

What does LtBuzzLitebeer reveal? He writes that he cannot go into detail. But the entire ETF group has been actively dealing with an enormous amount of upcoming content. Regarding the content and the positive changes that the player base has demanded, he can say: “Holy s…!!!”.

From these statements, we can conclude:

  • Massive is working on a ton of new content.
  • Massive is implementing changes that the community has requested. Some player feedback will be taken into account.

“Fingers crossed”

This is what the agents say about the information: LtBuzzLitebeer is regarded as a calm, likeable, and honest Division YouTuber. In the comments, fans write that they trust him if he considers the changes to be good.

Also on reddit, an agent writes “fingers crossed” – which means “Daumen drücken” in German – and quotes LtBuzzLitebeer’s assessment. That sounds good, and one is now looking more optimistically towards the future.

Other agents, however, are still pessimistic. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” writes one. And another agent says: “Then players will still complain.”

An agent fears that an update similar to Update 1.4 from The Division 1 will be necessary to lure many players back to The Division 2. Update 1.4 completely turned the first part around after Massive admitted: Our game is not fun.

When will there be more information? Actually, Massive planned to release information about the future the day before yesterday, on September 4. However, the “State of the Game” livestream had to be postponed, and the current status is: There will be information next week.

Until then, we will have to make do with statements from ETF members.

What is the ETF actually? Currently, from September 4 to September 6, there is an ETF workshop taking place at the Massive studio in Sweden. Selected community representatives, the “ETF”, are allowed to review upcoming innovations and changes and provide their feedback.

The ETF members are not allowed to discuss in detail what they see at Massive.

In The Division 1, there were already several ETF phases. The most important ETF was probably the one before Update 1.4, which finally got The Division back on track after months of criticism. According to Massive, past ETFs were important key moments to roll out game-changing innovations.

MMORPG EVE Online will griefing support offer when newbies lose their 1st ship

CCP Games wants to introduce a new feature in EVE Online to better cope with the grief over the loss of the first ship. Ultimately, this is supposed to help more new players stay longer in the MMORPG.

What is the situation with new players in EVE Online? According to CCP Games, about 600,000 new players joined the MMORPG in 2018. However, only about 10 percent of them stayed longer than seven days.

The journey usually ends when the new player loses their first ship. Then, they seem to lose motivation and give up.

For CCP Games, this is a difficult situation. The MMORPG needs new players. However, if most of them drop out within seven days, something is wrong.

EVE Online: Mass Battle

New players need to persevere longer

What is the problem? EVE Online is a complex game. It takes relatively long to get accustomed to it. The many systems and depth reveal themselves to players only after a while. Those who endure this learning phase can experience one of the most interesting MMORPGs, which offers enormous possibilities.

However, many do not last that long. Once the first spaceship is gone, most newcomers turn their backs on EVE Online.

What does CCP Games plan now? In EVE Online, there are many player-run assistance organizations that take care of newcomers to help them find their way into the MMORPG more easily.

This idea is the basis for the “Grief Counseling” system. A tool is to be introduced in the game that informs moderators at CCP Games as soon as a newcomer loses their first spaceship. The moderator will then reach out to the player.

They explain what went wrong, that the situation isn’t as bad as might be feared, and what the player can do now. There may even be compensation for the lost ship.

This is intended to encourage the player to try again and to do better this time instead of simply giving up in frustration.

EVE Online Lifeblood

In the future, there will be automatic grief management

This is how the system will be expanded: While the first version of the “Grief Counseling” system operates manually and the player speaks with a moderator, it will later operate automatically. An automated process will then “comfort” the player and help them.

What does CCP Games hope to achieve with this? According to the developers, it is a “magical moment” for many players when they understand why they lost their ship. Then they start to understand for the first time what makes EVE so special. Those who recognize this usually stay and find their place in the EVE universe. Those who do not understand it typically leave the MMORPG.

The “Grief Counseling” system is meant to help players experience this magical moment more easily. Ultimately, the developers hope that more newcomers will stay with EVE Online longer and more easily overcome the loss of their first ship.

Shroud is so addicted to WoW Classic that he plays it while skipping Twitch

The shooter streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek seems to really like WoW Classic . Recently he played it simply without turning on the Twitch stream. He is the second largest streamer on the platform. So he misses out on some views.

This is remarkable: The streamer Shroud is usually live daily on Twitch. But he took a little break from Twitch on the afternoon of September 3 and September 4.

After a 12-hour stream from Monday evening to Tuesday morning, one might naively assume: Well, he must need a break from WoW Classic. He plays like a madman. But the opposite is true.

As his girlfriend reveals on Twitter, Shroud still played 12 hours of WoW Classic on his non-Twitch days. He just wasn’t live on Twitch.

Shroud then said: “I just hit level 55. I’ve played so much WoW. Kill me!”

On Thursday, he was back with a 12-hour stream of “World of Warcraft” on Twitch.

WoW Classic title

This is the special part: Shroud is currently the second largest streamer on the platform with nearly 7 million people following his channel. When he streams, about 30,000 people on average watch him, giving him donations and subscriptions. He earns his money that way.

Playing for two days without streaming is already something special. He is essentially skipping his job but still doing the work.

DrDisrespect misses Shroud, wants to bring him “back to reality”

This special donation was received by Shroud: The Twitch streamer DrDisrespect is a shooter colleague of Shroud on Twitch. The two often tease each other.

DrDisrespect feels he is losing “his friend” to this WoW Classic.

He donated $100 to Shroud to send him the message that he had lost him to “the game” and needed to bring him back to reality. Surely a reference to the fact that WoW has the reputation of making players “addicted”.

DrDisrespect himself can hardly relate to WoW Classic.
