In Remnant from the Ashes, you will soon be able to farm targeted equipment

Gunfire Games’ surprise hit Remnant from the Ashes has been on the market for a few weeks now. Time for a new supply! This week, players can look forward to a long-awaited feature.

What new content will there be for Remnant? Remnant from the Ashes had a strong start, and fans are hungry for new content. Gunfire Games announced two new contents in a corresponding post. The Adventure Mode will be available this week, specifically on Thursday, September 12.

A week later, on Thursday, September 19, new content will finally arrive, the Leto Laboratories. This storyline takes you through the Alpha Research Station. You will follow the trails of Leto Apostolakis, who researched fast travel with the crystals.

Remnant: From the Ashes Yaesha Pan Jungle

The area will randomly appear on Earth, and you may have to reset the area occasionally until the new dungeon appears. It should be worth it, as there will be a new boss fight to contend with and new loot to obtain.

What exactly does the Adventure Mode do? The Adventure Mode works similarly to Diablo 3. Instead of resetting your entire story progression as before, you can “roll” individual worlds anew at the crystal in Station 13. This will work on Thursday for the worlds Earth, Rhom, and Yaesha. Corsus is expected to follow later.

At the crystal in Station 13, you can reset individual worlds

Resetting a world has no effect on your story. Everything you find in Adventure Mode, you can keep. With the Adventure Mode, it should be easier to collect any missing quests or items, as you don’t always have to reset the entire story.

This is how you get the Heart of the Beast in Remnant from the Ashes.

What will the updates cost? The updates are free and available to any player who has purchased the main game.

Remnant: From the Ashes Archetypes

Whether the developer will also fix some annoying bugs such as the missing communication option with the Seed Mother in multiplayer in the update is still unknown. The connection issues in public sessions are also frustrating many players. It’s to be hoped that some of the problems will be addressed soon.

What do you think of the new content? Are you looking forward to it?

Hearthstone: How a Druid gets 650,000 Armor – In one go

This will make every opponent breathless. With this combo, a Druid gains more than 650,000 armor in Hearthstone – effectively making him nearly immortal.

A few weeks ago, we had a player from Hearthstone who managed to build a proud 2,500 armor in just one turn. However, this record has now been far surpassed. One player has managed to execute a combo that leaves the hero with 655,364 armor at the end. Victory for the opponent is virtually impossible.

How does the combo work? To play the combo from the video, you need to be in “wild” game mode. Here, all cards can be played. It’s important to use the Druid class in order to execute the combo:

655364 armor in one turn Druid deck + Jades win condition. from r/hearthstone

Through Imperator Thaurissan, the Druid reduces the costs of the remaining cards in hand. These include cards like “ARGH! BEES!!!”, but also Healing Touch and Earthen Scales, as well as the main “hero” of the entire combo, the Devastator. This card doubles its attack every time it overwhelms a minion. In addition, Flurps’ glorious Glibber is needed along with Elise the Enlightened.

Elise doubles the cards in the Druid’s hand, and then the fun begins. Thanks to the card discounts, the Druid can play the Devastator and then attack with “ARGH! BEES!!!” up to 16 times. Each time, the Devastator’s attack is doubled. With Healing Touch, the Druid ensures that the Devastator does not die in between.

Elise allows the devastating move.

The end result is a Devastator with 327,680 attack! This is buffed 2 more times with Earthen Scales, giving it +1/+1 and simultaneously granting the Druid the attack power of the minion as armor.

This results in a proud armor total of 655,364 – insurmountable for the rest of the game.

To top it all off, the Druid also has a win condition – namely the Jade Idol. With it, he can generate not only an infinite number of cards but also summon increasingly powerful minions.

How likely is it? For the combo to work, the perfect cards need to be in the Druid’s hand. A bit of luck is definitely involved. In most games, the combo probably won’t come into play, as the Druid must survive until the end. However, if successful, the joy is immense.

What do you think of this combo? Brilliant or just annoying?

CoD Modern Warfare includes beta content – Here is everything you can test

Finally, it is known which content the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Open Beta will offer. A multiplayer beta trailer already provides a first glimpse. Players will be able to try the following modes and features before the release.

Beta content officially announced: For a long time, it was unclear which content the Modern Warfare Beta would include. While there were smaller info snippets, an official overview was lacking until now. That has now changed.

Shortly before the start of the Modern Warfare Multiplayer Beta on September 12, Activision has now announced the playable content in a blog and provided a first glimpse of it in a trailer. We show you what you can look forward to during the beta.

What does the trailer show? In addition to the dynamic match entry via helicopter, there are also some quick combat scenes, a night map using night vision goggles, and the iconic Harrier kill streak.

In addition, there is finally a first look at Ground War, the largest mode of the Modern Warfare multiplayer. Large groups of players fight there using vehicles and helicopters – close to the style of Battlefield. Quads are also used there.

How can you participate in the beta? The Modern Warfare Beta starts on September 12 and offers all interested parties the chance to get a first impression of the multiplayer of the latest series installment before its release. 

The beta is divided into 2 phases and is basically open to all players after the pre-order early access. Phase 1 is PS4-exclusive, phase 2 is aimed at interested parties on all platforms – including PC and Xbox One.

How you can participate in the beta and many other details can be found here: Everything about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta – How to Participate

Pokémon GO: With these counters you will defeat all Deoxys forms in Raids

This week in Pokémon GO, you can find all Deoxys forms in raids. Learn how to defeat the Normal form, Speed form, Attack form, and Defense form of the former EX Raid Boss here.

You can find Deoxys here: In Pokémon GO, this week begins the second part of the Ultra Bonus. With it, Deoxys will appear in regular level-5 raids. Previously, you could only challenge and catch Deoxys as an EX Raid Boss.

What is special about Deoxys: Deoxys can be encountered in four different forms.

  • Normal form
  • Attack form
  • Defense form
  • Speed form

As part of the Ultra Bonus, you can challenge all four Deoxys forms in raids. We will introduce the forms and show you the counters you should use against them. Many counters for Deoxys are currently available in raids!

Pokémon GO Deoxys

Basic tips for catching Deoxys: Deoxys is a Psychic-type Pokémon. Once you’ve defeated it, you can increase your catch chances by using berries or making excellent throws. The different forms of the Pokémon differ slightly from one another.

Best counters against the Normal form

These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Normal form: If you challenge Deoxys in the Normal form, it can primarily know Psychic and Electric attacks.

Normal Deoxys can use Zen Headbutt (Psychic) or Charge Beam (Electric) as its fast attack. For its charge attacks, it can use Psyshock (Psychic), Thunderbolt (Electric), and Hyper Beam (Normal).

The normal Deoxys has an attack value of 345 and a defense value of 115. So in theory, it can deal a lot of damage, but it can’t take much.

Pokémon GO Deoxys Normal
Deoxys in the Normal form

These are the best counters against Normal Deoxys: Deoxys is weak against Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type Pokémon. The best counters against Deoxys in the Normal form are:

  • Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
  • Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
  • Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
  • Attack form Deoxys with Sludge Bomb and Dark Pulse
  • Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball

Alternatively, you can also use Banette, Kramshef, Scizor, Absol, and Raikou if you have the right attack combinations (movesets).

Best counters against the Speed form

These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Speed form: In the Speed form, Deoxys has a slightly changed moveset.

It also has Zen Headbutt and Charge Beam as its fast attacks. For the charge attacks, Speed Deoxys knows Psyshock (Psychic), Meteor Mash (Steel), and Thunder Cannon (Electric).

It has an attack value of 230 and a defense value of 218. In battle, it isn’t very useful. This form was the last one you could get in EX Raids.

Pokémon GO Deoxys Speed
Deoxys in the Speed form

These are the best counters against Speed Deoxys: For Deoxys in the Speed form, the following counters are recommended.

  • Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
  • Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
  • Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
  • Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
  • Snibunna with Faint Attack and Leech Seed

Alternatively, you can rely on Kramshef, Traunmagil, Raikou, Scizor, or Banette. A player duo even managed to defeat the Speed form with a Gengar team in duo.

Best counters against the Defense form

These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Defense form: Defense Deoxys also knows the Psychic attack Zen Headbutt, but can also learn the Fighting attack Counter. The charge attacks include Psyshock (Psychic), Rock Slide (Rock), and Thunder Cannon (Electric).

It has a defense value of 330, while its attack value is 144. So it can take a lot of hits, but offensively it isn’t particularly dangerous – since you can’t use it in gyms, it is of little use.

However, you will need at least three players to take on the Defense form – probably more.

Pokémon GO Deoxys Defense

These are the best counters against Defense Deoxys: Against the Defense form, you are best prepared with Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon. The best counters are:

  • Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
  • Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
  • Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
  • Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
  • Snibunna with Faint Attack and Leech Seed

Following them are Banette, Raikou, Absol, Pinsir, and Traunmagil.

Best counters against the Attack form

These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Attack form: As the name suggests, the Attack form is fully focused on offense. The huge attack value of 414 is impressive, but the defense of 46 significantly hinders this Deoxys form. It could theoretically deal a lot of damage, but it doesn’t last long in battle.

The Attack form knows Zen Headbutt and Sludge Bomb as its fast attacks. The charge attacks are Psyshock (Psychic), Dark Pulse (Dark), and Thunder Cannon (Electric). You could even defeat this form alone in EX Raids.

Pokémon GO Deoxys Attack
Deoxys in the Attack form

These are the best counters against Attack Deoxys: This Deoxys form is also vulnerable to similar Pokémon. The best ones to try are:

  • Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
  • Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
  • Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
  • Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
  • Snibunna with Faint Attack and Leech Seed

If you already have an Attack Deoxys, you can send it into battle as well. Next are Kramshef, Raikou, Houndoom, and Absol as good candidates. As part of the Ultra Bonus, several good counters for Deoxys will be available in raids.

Now that Deoxys can be caught in regular raids, a new EX Raid Boss will likely appear. These are potential candidates:

Wizards Unite brings even more Pokémon GO into the game: This time an item

The new Tracking Tonic brings a new wave of Pokémon GO to Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. We show you what the new potion can do and what the players are saying about it.

What kind of potion is this? In your brewing recipes in Wizards Unite you can now find the new Tracking Tonic. After consumption, you will gain the effect of discovering more traces in the world.

Players have already discovered that you find a new trace about every three minutes. Whether you’re moving or not.

To brew the new potion, you need:

  • 6x Christophskraut
  • 4x Pustelsaft
  • 4x Engelstrompete
  • 2x Erumpent-Horn

Without Master Notes, the brewing process takes 7 hours.

What else is new? The new potion came into the game with the latest update. On September 6th, the Wizards Unite team announced that the new potion and a free gift were introduced through the update.

Additionally, the basic capacity of ingredients for new players was raised from 200 to 210. Existing players receive this expansion for free in the gift. The potion capacity was also increased from 50 to 55. This increase can be redeemed in the same way as the item expansion.

The healing potions you previously received upon leveling up have been replaced with 25 Spell Energy.

This is included in the free gift: In the Wizards Unite shop, you can pick up a free gift in the next 10 days. It contains:

  • 1x Tracking Tonic
  • 10x Ingredient capacity
  • 5x Potion capacity
  • 5x Seed and Water capacity
  • 6x Christophskraut
  • 4x Pustelsaft
  • 4x Engelstrompete
  • 2x Erumpent-Horn

“It was about time”

Wizards Unite is the game Niantic released after Pokémon GO. Both are based on a similar AR principle and often utilize the same features. The community was already wondering when such an item would come.

How does it compare to Pokémon GO? With the new potion for discovering traces, you practically have the item Smoke, which reveals monsters nearby in Pokémon GO.

Reddit user Thameus writes, “We already had Lucky Eggs and Lures, they were just late to implement the smoke mechanic.”

Have you already used the new potion? Another feature known from Pokémon GO is important in Wizards Unite:

LoL: TSM disappointed again – Top team misses Worlds 2019 in a nasty way

But from game 3 onwards, CG was in control and TSM collapsed. The early ganks failed this time, and they kept losing games one after the other.

That was it for TSM.

That’s why it’s so bitter: TSM had positioned themselves excellently throughout the year to snatch the 3rd place at the LoL Worlds – but squandered it in just a few matches. They had already missed the Worlds in 2018.

“Team SoloMid” is the US team with probably the largest fan base. The marketing and professionalism of the eSports organization are also considered strong. Between 2011 and 2017, they secured several first places and often competed for the top spot in the USA.

TSM fans discuss their team similarly to how one might discuss Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in football: they can practically attract any “top player”. There’s enough money, at least from the perspective of the supporters.

LoL players like the Dane Bjergsen on the mid lane are international stars and popular with fans. But somehow, lately, things have not been going well, and the team cannot replicate the successes of the past.

In 2018, TSM missed the Worlds – in 2019 they will miss it again.

This is particularly bitter because an US team, Team Liquid, is currently on the rise. Team Liquid made an impact at the 2019 Mid Season Invitationals in LoL and managed to give the strong Asians a black eye. Many TSM fans wish their team to play that role.

It’s also bitter that the LoL veteran Doublelift plays a major role at Team Liquid – who was long with TSM and swore revenge after the team ruthlessly replaced him.

Winners say: “If we lose, who cares?”

This is what the winners say: The top laner of CG, Heo “Huni” Seung-Hoon, says to Inven: After the first two losses, they were not down at all. The team was not tilted, but in a good mood. They believe in each other, trust each other, and play for the team. That’s why CG won.

No one expects them to perform well at the Worlds now. But no one expected them to qualify at all.

That’s the beauty of not getting support – there is no pressure:

As Dotesports writes, TSM was able to dominate the first matches through aggressive ganks on the mid lane and bot gaming early on, but Clutch Gaming managed to come back in both games.

Only through weak team fights did Clutch Gaming end up losing the two matches.

But from game 3 onwards, CG was in control and TSM collapsed. The early ganks failed this time, and they kept losing games one after the other.

After the first two matches, TSM was indeed leading 2-0 against “Clutch Gaming”. However, it did not seem so convincing.

At this point, TSM still looked like a secure winner.

As Dotesports writes, TSM was able to dominate the first matches through aggressive ganks on the mid lane and bot gaming early on, but Clutch Gaming managed to come back in both games.

Only through weak team fights did Clutch Gaming end up losing the two matches.

But from game 3 onwards, CG was in control and TSM collapsed. The early ganks failed this time, and they kept losing games one after the other.

That was it for TSM.

That’s why it’s so bitter: TSM had positioned themselves excellently throughout the year to snatch the 3rd place at the LoL Worlds – but squandered it in just a few matches. They had already missed the Worlds in 2018.

“Team SoloMid” is the US team with probably the largest fan base. The marketing and professionalism of the eSports organization are also considered strong. Between 2011 and 2017, they secured several first places and often competed for the top spot in the USA.

TSM fans discuss their team similarly to how one might discuss Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in football: they can practically attract any “top player”. There’s enough money, at least from the perspective of the supporters.

LoL players like the Dane Bjergsen on the mid lane are international stars and popular with fans. But somehow, lately, things have not been going well, and the team cannot replicate the successes of the past.

In 2018, TSM missed the Worlds – in 2019 they will miss it again.

Doublelift hangs over TSM like a curse.

This is particularly bitter because an US team, Team Liquid, is currently on the rise. Team Liquid made an impact at the 2019 Mid Season Invitationals in LoL and managed to give the strong Asians a black eye. Many TSM fans wish their team to play that role.

It’s also bitter that the LoL veteran Doublelift plays a major role at Team Liquid – who was long with TSM and swore revenge after the team ruthlessly replaced him.

Winners say: “If we lose, who cares?”

This is what the winners say: The top laner of CG, Heo “Huni” Seung-Hoon, says to Inven: After the first two losses, they were not down at all. The team was not tilted, but in a good mood. They believe in each other, trust each other, and play for the team. That’s why CG won.

No one expects them to perform well at the Worlds now. But no one expected them to qualify at all.

That’s the beauty of not getting support – there is no pressure:

At TSM, the loss seems to matter to a lot of people. Maybe that’s the difference.

In League of Legends, “Team SoloMid” has once again failed. After a bitter defeat against Clutch Gaming, the LoL Worlds 2019 will take place without the major US team TSM. The star players around Bjergsen appear disappointed. The way they lost was particularly bitter: they surrendered a 2-0 lead against an underdog.

Which game was lost? Today was the decisive last game at the “Regional Finals” in the LCS. Here, 4 teams compete against each other to determine who gets the 3rd place for North America at the Worlds 2019: This is the huge LoL World Championship at the end of the year.

For these spots, the professionals fight all year round. Ultimately, good performances during the season mean nothing – in deciding games, only one emerges victorious at the end.

LoL Twisted Treeline Amumu

The qualifiers are a competition of the “losers”: as teams 3 to 6 from the league compete against each other. The two top US teams, Team Liquid (winners of the LCS in summer) and Cloud 9 (most points in the LCS), are already qualified for the Worlds and do not participate in the qualifiers.

However, TSM had the best placement for the tournament. They were waiting in the finals for the team that fought through the first 2 rounds. TSM only had to win this one pairing.

In the finals, they faced Clutch Gaming: who previously eliminated FLYQuest and CLG.

TSM leads 2:0, but somehow loses clearly

This is how the finals went: The games were played in a “Best of 5” format – a LoL team needed 3 wins to win and secure their place at the Worlds 2019.

Borderlands 3 Review – Not surprising at any point, but still great
von Leya Jankowski

Worthy successor or stuck in time?

Borderlands 3 has received mostly positive feedback so far. Only one outlier highlights the sides that are not received as well, somewhat more clearly.

What is praised

The positives in short: The majority of reviews agree on the positive points regarding Borderlands 3. Frequently praised are:

  • The action-packed, fast-paced gameplay
  • An elaborate and rewarding skill and progress system
  • The selection and enormous variety of different weapons

This is how the gameplay is received: The gameplay of Borderlands 3 ranges from cutscenes, in which you can gain background knowledge about the characters or hear funny stories, to numerous quests, up to the naturally abundant shootouts.

The latter, according to the reviews, makes up a large part of the charm of Borderlands 3 and also a good portion of the game itself. The shootouts are not always challenging, but entertaining. GameStar writes about this:

Borderlands 3 rarely provides a truly demanding challenge – and that is completely fine! It aims to be a shooter-Diablo, and that naturally includes mountains of cannon fodder that we can slaughter to our heart’s content.

This is how the skill system is received: Particularly for players who want to enjoy the co-op mode of Borderlands 3, the skill aspect is interesting. The four available heroes of the game all come with unique abilities and skill trees.

Depending on how you skill, the characters play differently and a little more individually.

Borderlands 3 offers more flexibility than ever before to create the character you want. For the first time in the series, an active skill is linked to one of the three talent trees of the vault hunter. […] As a result, you and a friend can easily play the same character but have completely different builds and roles in the battlefield.

Gamespot

This is how the weapons are received: However, the aforementioned weapons are the highlight for most testers. Previous installments of Borderlands 3 have already amazed with a plethora of weapons that are worth collecting, testing, and using.

In Borderlands 3, the weapon manufacturers have given their products special properties. This leads to each brand playing differently. For every play style, you can choose your very own favorite weapons. Leya says in the MeinMMO review about this:

With the random combinations of features, every weapon drop is a surprise. The weapons feel extremely different. Every player will likely experience at some point a specific weapon with too low a level dragged along much longer than anticipated because it feels so perfect for them.

What is criticized

The negatives in short: On the other hand, there are also some points that are perceived negatively. In most reviews, the advantages comfort the testers over minor flaws. Only PCGamer is harsher in its judgment of Borderlands 3. The magazine particularly criticizes:

  • The flat characters and only somewhat engaging story
  • The childish scatological humor
  • Boring endgame and frequent occurring bugs

This is what bothers about the story: Regarding the characters, PCGamer writes that they are often introduced quickly, say their lines, and then disappear or are made to disappear. It is as if the characters are supposed to be already familiar, and you should be happy that they appear briefly.

Borderlands-3-Tattoo-Kid-1024x400
There are exceptions, but many characters are quite flat.

This is what bothers about the content: The humor seems to be one of the biggest points of criticism that PCGamer raises. It might have been funny a few years ago, but it no longer suffices to convince today:

It is stuck in the ’00s, when superficial vulgarity was enough to be ‘extraordinary’ – Borderlands 3 really goes for the poop jokes. Back when the series first gained traction, that was sufficient. […]

It is simultaneously attractive and repulsive, an FPS-RPG that stands out when its weapon generation system spits out weapons that feel wonderful, supplemented with additions that turn hordes of minions, bugs, and soldiers into clouds of red mist […] And then it tells one of its long, bad jokes, and the cloud disappears. I have a terrible trauma.

The endgame is deemed boring as it simply requires more and harder grinding or a replay of the story. However, some bugs mean that players may spend longer in certain areas than they would like.

As the “best and worst part of the series” Borderlands 3 simply comes too late.

Monster Hunter World: The best weapons in Iceborne based on pure damage value

With the expansion Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, a new set of weapons comes into play. The weapons of the Acid Glavenus have the highest base attack.

The weapons and armors in Monster Hunter World are divided by monsters. Each armor set and each weapon tree has its own skills and attack values.

You get the weapons from this monster: The Acid Glavenus is – as the name suggests – a subspecies of the Glavenus. Its tail is sharp like a sword and it uses it accordingly. The tail of the Acid Glavenus is additionally coated with acid. Its greatest weakness is the fire element, so you should counter it with that.

What characteristics do Acid Glavenus weapons have?

  • Level 11
  • High attack value
  • Affinity 0% (no negative value)
  • Hidden element
  • Slot for decorations

The tail of the Acid Glavenus is like a sword

List of all Acid Glavenus weapons

For each of the 14 weapon types in Monster Hunter World, the Acid Glavenus has one ready.

  • Bow: Acid Arrow II with 336 damage (240 Thunder), no power coating
  • Dual Blades: The Rending Scissors with 406 damage (210 Paralysis)
  • Energy Blade: The Melting Grip with 1044 damage (270 Paralysis)
  • Gunlance: Acid Breaker II with 667 damage (330 Paralysis)
  • Great Sword: Acid Shredder II with 1392 damage (420 Paralysis)
  • Hammer: The Cracking Hammer with 1508 damage (330 Paralysis)
  • Insect Glaive: The Flowing Spiral with 899 damage (210 Paralysis)
  • Hunting Horn: The Rough Ballad with 1218 damage (330 Paralysis)
  • Long Sword: Acid Scimitar II with 957 damage (390 Paralysis)
  • Spear: The Dissolution Spindle with 667 damage (330 Paralysis)
  • Light Bowgun: Acid Blitz II with 325 damage
  • Morphing Axe: Acid Crusher II with 1015 damage (390 Paralysis)
  • Heavy Bowgun: The Disemboweling Sigh with 435 damage
  • Sword and Shield: Acid Ripper II with 406 (210 Paralysis)
Monster Hunter World Iceborne Acid Glavenus Hammer
The Cracking Hammer from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Do Acid Glavenus weapons have a weakness? A major drawback of Acid Glavenus weapons is their comparatively low sharpness. However, you can avoid this or at least make it easier for yourself.

The skill Protective Polish, for example, prevents your sharpness from decreasing for a certain time after sharpening. Handicraft increases your sharpness bar right from the start, and Fast Sharpening allows you to sharpen faster.

How to get even more damage out of your weapon

Can I increase the damage of my weapon further? There is a very simple way to enhance your attack value. You only need a weapon without an active element. The weapons of the Acid Glavenus have a hidden element. If this remains hidden, the weapon is considered elementless.

Then a decoration called Elementless Jewel 2 comes into play. It includes the skill Non-Element Boost at level 1. This increases the base attack of your weapon even more.

Can I somehow utilize the element that is on the weapon? If you want to forego the additional damage from Non-Element Boost, you can activate the element. For this, you need the skill Super Weapon. This can be especially useful for paralysis. You obtain this skill, for example, through the Kirin Armor of the Master Rank.

5 Best Landing Spots in Fortnite – Here you will find a lot of loot and few opponents

We show you the best landing spots in Fortnite. These landing spots are great because you can find a lot of loot there and encounter fewer opponents.

The right choice of landing spot is always a trade-off between potential loot and the number of opponents you have to face.

Tilted Town and Paradise Palms (this location is probably getting a change soon) are good landing spots for good loot – but the number of opponents you encounter can be intimidating.

At the landing spots in Fortnite that we present to you here, you won’t have to fight with hordes of opponents for the loot. These places are rarely visited and offer a lot of loot.

Landing Spot 1: Viking Mountain + Snobby Shores

What makes this place so special? The Viking Mountain offers you one large and six smaller buildings to loot. Additionally, there’s a large Viking ship. In total, you’ll find about 10 chests. There’s also plenty of wood and stone to gather.

If you have time and the storm zone moves in your favor, you can also stop by Snobby Shores. Snobby Shores has four large houses with a lot of loot (especially suitable for teams) and plenty of materials to gather. You will also encounter a Reboot Bus.

Pro
  • Good loot opportunity (suitable for teams)
  • Plenty of materials (wood/stone/metal)
  • Reboot Bus available
Contra
  • Usually far from the zone
  • Loot route doesn’t offer many buildings to loot

Landing Spot 2: Lazy Lagoon

What makes this place so special? Lazy Lagoon offers you many options, for example a large wooden ship with many chests and a small town that you can loot. Additionally, there is a lot of wood and stone to gather, so you will be well-equipped for the end game.

If you need a Reboot Bus, there is one available at Lazy Lagoon. At this location, you usually only meet one other team. If you are going solo, you can expect around 1-2 opponents.

Depending on where the next zone is located, you can also make a detour to Tomato Temple. There, you will also find some chests and be able to gather a lot of stone.

Pro
  • Many loot opportunities
  • Plenty of materials (wood/stone)
  • Few opponents
  • Reboot Bus available
Contra
  • Water complicates movement

Landing Spot 3: Lonely Lodge

What makes this place so special? Lonely Lodge has a lot to offer. You can find many loot spots, mushrooms, campfires, and sometimes even a vending machine and a Reboot Bus. You can gather plenty of materials as there are many trees, stones, and cars around. This way, you can head to the endgame well-equipped.

You are unlikely to meet opponents here. If you are going solo, it can happen that you encounter one opponent.

After Lonely Lodge, you can visit the trailer park. There, you will find plenty of ammunition and a few chests.

Pro
  • Many loot spots
  • Usually a vending machine
  • Mushrooms and campfires
  • Plenty of materials (wood/stone/metal)
  • Few opponents
  • Reboot Bus available
Contra
  • Can be far from the zone

Landing Spot 4: Shifty Shafts:

What makes this place so special? Shifty Shafts offers many loot opportunities. There are also two adjacent houses that you can loot. It is rather centrally located on the map, and there is a Reboot Van available if you need to bring back your teammates.

To recharge your shield, you can also snack on the mushrooms that are around Shifty Shafts.

Depending on which route you choose, you can walk to Tilted Town or Salty Springs. But keep in mind that you will likely encounter opponents there.

Pro
  • Lots of loot
  • Mushrooms
  • Much wood
  • Centrally located
  • Reboot Bus available
Contra
  • Higher chance of opponents

Landing Spot 5: Happy Hamlet

What makes this place so special? Since Happy Hamlet is a small winter town, it has a lot of loot to offer. At this location, you should know your way around to loot quickly. Usually, there is also a vending machine, and you can gather a lot of materials (especially stone).

If you need a Reboot Bus, you will find one in Happy Hamlet. Due to its loot, the location is popular, and it’s likely that you will encounter opponents.

You should loot Happy Hamlet quickly because it is usually far outside the zone. Depending on where the zone takes you, you can stop by the big chair or the small factory and gather even more loot.

Pro
  • Very much loot
  • Vending machines
  • Plenty of materials (stone)
  • Reboot Bus available
Contra
  • Higher chance of opponents
  • Far from the zone

What are your favorite landing spots? Is one of the ones mentioned above your favorite too?

Titans who want to be rockets in Destiny 2 are asking for more love from Bungie

In Destiny 2, many Guardians want a buff for the Rocket Titan. Thundercrash is expected to be better, but Bungie shows no love.

This has happened: For the past few days, the demands for Bungie to finally show more love for the Rocket Titans have been increasing. In the last “This Week at Bungie” post, the developers presented changes to the focal points and supers with Shadowkeep – and the Rocket focus of the Titan is not receiving a buff, even though many Guardians say it is overdue.

The Rocket Titan, or the “Code of the Rocket”, is a focus path of the Arc Titan. The special super is called Thundercrash, where the Titan launches through the air like a rocket and crashes into the enemy with a massive boom. Many Titans believe this “boom” could deal more damage.
destiny-titan-rakete

Thundercrash should be stronger

What do the Guardians demand? Over the weekend, a Guardian on Reddit received over 6000 upvotes for pointing out that currently, the Bungie forums are exploding with complaint posts: Bungie is not giving Thundercrash any love. He is pleased that people are finally discussing it intensely.

They have been demanding a buff for a long time now, but many – like him – have been waiting to see what super changes Shadowkeep would bring. But since there is no mention of a Thundercrash buff in the patch notes, he hopes that the Rocket Titans will finally get Bungie’s attention this way.

What is the problem with the Rocket Super? Several issues are criticized regarding Thundercrash:

  • The damage in PvE is too low – especially compared to other super attacks, which are significantly easier and “safer” to perform. With Thundercrash, you recklessly dive into the enemies and have to see if you can get out alive. It’s a risky super, which is why it should deal more damage than others, according to opinion.
  • Currently, the damage against bosses is so low that the use of rockets hardly seems worthwhile, and better DPS can be achieved otherwise. But what else should you use Thundercrash for? Many other supers are better suited against adds, making it difficult to find arguments when wanting to play the Rocket Titan.
  • Additionally, the damage resistance in PvP is too low. Some more mobile supers, which can strike more often, withstand more. As a rocket, you shouldn’t be so easily stopped, is the criticism.

Guardians, therefore, suggest not only adding a damage buff to Thundercrash. It could also have additional effects. For example, enemies at medium range could be pushed away from the impact by a shockwave or shaken, similar to a war satellite crash.

Nerf instead of Buff

Another Guardian in the comments summarizes: No, such buffs are not coming. But Bungie is giving you a nerf to the damage resistance of the super.

In PvP, the Guardians are supposed to have a better chance of withstanding super attacks. Therefore, the damage resistance during active Thundercrash super is being reduced from 54% to 49%. However, other supers receive similar nerfs, this is not exclusive to Thundercrash.

Nevertheless, some Titans believe: Many supers need a resistance nerf, yes, but Thundercrash does not.

By the way, the Sentinel Titan is receiving some buffs. As the only Titan subclass. Some Guardians joke that this is because Bungie wants to enforce the Titan bubble, as it has been announced: With Shadowkeep, the weapons of light are returning.

Do you also think that the Rocket Titan deserves a proper buff?

This morning, the youngest major MMORPG on Steam died – hardly anyone mourns

In the MMORPG Bless Online, the servers went offline on Steam this morning. The MMORPG has become history after nearly a year and a half: it was the last major AAA MMORPG that tried to launch in the West and failed brutally.

When did it end? The service for Bless on Steam was officially discontinued today at 9:00 AM on Monday, September 9th.

Although Bless can still be downloaded and installed via Steam, the launcher can no longer find a region: a sad sight.

The end of Bless was already announced by developer Neowiz in June.

Bless-Love-Emote
No amount of emotes can help: Bless is dead.

People want their money back

What’s the mood on Steam? In contrast to dead MMORPGs like WildStar, whose end was accompanied by nostalgia and wistfulness, the prevailing emotions in Bless are anger and disappointment. (via steamcommunity)

Only a few comments express regret.

On Steam, players call the developers “frauds.” They say the developers can save their warm words; they want their money back.

Because Bless is now, quite literally, just unplayable.

Bless Online - Blue against Red
Bless was seen as the MMORPG hope from Korea in 2018 – did not go well

What makes people so angry about Bless? Bless had a rough run:

  • It was released in May 2018 in Early Access on Steam. There was neither a beta nor another way to preview the game – hence some bought it “blindly,” many of whom immediately regretted the purchase. Only 60% of buyers reached level 5 in Bless.
  • People were aware of the MMORPG’s issues in other regions: however, the developers promised to significantly revise the MMORPG for the West.
  • The MMORPG cost $60 million to produce and was marketed as a AAA MMORPG, but failed to meet the technical minimum standards at launch.

von Schuhmann
  • Later it was said that this had been a misunderstanding – Western players expected a finished MMORPG, but it was an Early Access launch.
  • Then Bless was released as “Free2Play” – which upset those who had already invested money.
  • However, Bless couldn’t really achieve much at the “real” launch – the hype had long since faded.
  • Content was sparse after the launch, and those were parts that had been cut from the MMORPG and withheld – Bless couldn’t turn the tide even in the slightest. In the end, Bless had an average of 26 players online on Steam. At its peak in June 2018, there were an average of 8,500 (via steamcharts).
Bless-Heroes

Here’s what it’s about: Bless was one of the last major AAA releases for MMORPGs on Steam in the West. There hasn’t been much since Black Desert – maybe with the exception of MapleStory 2.

All the more disappointing how it ultimately all went down. The story of Bless shows us how great the interest in a “new MMORPG” is here in the West, but also how brutally hope and anticipation can turn into frustration and disappointment.

The positive aspects of the MMORPG like the taming system or the world will likely fade into obscurity for most MMORPG games, or they never got to experience that side of Bless.

The people on Steam don’t seem to mourn Bless; they rather mourn their money.

Guild Wars 2 says: We want to bring you something exciting every month

Our author Alexander Leitsch had the chance to interview Guild Wars 2 Game Director Mike Zadorojny. He revealed some details about the Living World Season 5 and the regularity of updates.

What is the interview about? On August 30, the MMORPG announced the new Icebrood Saga. This is a series of story updates that will expand the game and tell the story around Norn, a malevolent cult, and the Ice Dragon Jormag.

Game Director Mike Zadorojny has answered some questions for me accordingly.

Guild Wars 2 Quiz: How fit are you for the Icebrood Saga?
von Alexander Leitsch

Lessons from previous seasons of the Living World

What will the Icebrood Saga do differently? First, Mike and I talked about the lessons developers have learned from the previous four seasons of the Living World.

The Icebrood Saga intends to do some things differently in terms of innovations and structure. It will be particularly based on the first seasons:

Don’t expect a new map with every update. We will also work with existing maps and expand them. It will be comparable to Season 2, just a bit more significant and larger than the two maps back then.

We will initially start with a new large map and then implement things that we haven’t done before.

According to Mike, the first season was also a great inspiration because it was a lot of fun for the developers and kept players engaged.

What changes in storytelling? Guild Wars 2 has also evolved over the years in the way stories are told. Mike mentioned a very specific example:

In Season 2, we introduced Belinda and killed her shortly after. We had something similar with Blish in Season 4, but the character was much more developed.

The outcry: “You created this character just to kill her” was much smaller than back then.

He also proudly states that the way the story is told has positively changed. It has become much more focused than in the early days.

von Alexander Leitsch

What about our hero group in the story? If you’re a fan of the characters Marjory and Kasmeer like I am, you’ll be happy to hear about their return. After they completely disappeared after Path of Fire, they will now return in the Icebrood Saga.

Mike describes the story of the new Icebrood Saga as darker and more Cthulhu-style. Therefore, it’s fitting that especially Marjory, as a necromancer, has a return.

Overall, there will be more rotations in our hero group. This way, players won’t interact with too many characters at once, yet the group will remain consistent.

Exciting events every month

How regularly do episodes of the Living World 5 appear? Of course, I wanted to know from Mike how often we can expect new episodes.

From the last seasons, we were used to a rhythm of 2-3 months, but the developers now want to change that:

Actually, we want to be faster than in the last season. Our current priority is to try to have something exciting in the game every month.

For that, we have the Living World, but also festivals that take place regularly. In addition, there are the bonus events, as we internally call them, in which you are supposed to defeat world bosses, for example.

Based on Mike’s description, the update calendar for 2019 could look something like this:

  • September – Prologue
  • October – Halloween
  • November – Episode 1
  • December – Christmas

The calendar will then be supplemented by bonus events that have been taking place regularly lately. Currently, there is one specifically for returnees and newcomers.

Northern Shiverpeaks and new challenges

Where are we heading first in the Icebrood Saga? On September 17, the prologue “Bound by Blood” will be in the game, which will already bring some innovations.

But it will really kick off with the first episode of the Living World Season 5. It will definitely be released this year. The first area will be the Northern Shiverpeaks.

Mike describes this as a particularly beautiful place:

You can look forward to some incredibly beautiful vistas. The art team has worked hard and also drew a lot of inspiration from the Guild Wars 1 maps.

Image from the Thunderhead Peaks

Are there new world bosses? The new world boss Drakkar has already been announced during the event, and Mike was able to tell me a little about it. He is supposed to be more challenging than the last released world bosses:

The Shatterer in Jahai was a good intermediate step, but he was not as challenging as the three-headed jungle worm. The new world boss will be big and is supposed to bring players together.

However, it will not be on the new map from the start, but will be added later.

From the announcement, we already know that Drakkar is intended for the second episode.

guild wars 2 drakkar concept
Concept Art of Drakkar

How do assault missions work? In addition to world bosses, we also discussed the new assault missions. In this, 10 players face a boss that is supposed to be challenging.

Mike describes this new challenge as follows:

Assault missions are instanced content that can be entered in two ways. If you just want to fight, you can enter the site and be randomly matched with other players, similar to the riftstrider events.

Way number 2 is a separate entrance for your group. There you can gather and defeat the boss, even in smaller groups than intended.

New fractals and raids are still being worked on, as Mike confirmed to me upon request.

We also briefly discussed repeatable challenge modes in raids. These are being discussed internally, but there is no new information about them yet.

Currently, ArenaNet is very satisfied with the development of the Living World. However, paid expansions for the future are not ruled out, as revealed in another interview:

Poster for BlizzCon 2019 fuels rumors about Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2

The BlizzCon 2019 starts in November. With a poster, a key art, it fueled rumors among fans. Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2? Both? Or nothing at all?

Which poster was shown? We are still a few weeks away from the start of BlizzCon 2019, but the topic is becoming more present. New to this is the official key art, the poster that belongs to this year’s event at Blizzard.

Blizzard BlizzCon 2019 Key Art

What can be seen on the poster? One can recognize the characters from various Blizzard games. Mecha-Tyrael (HotS), Elise (Hearthstone), Barbarian (Diablo / Diablo Immortal), Egon Stetmann (StarCraft), Sylvanas (WoW) and Tracer (Overwatch).

Players emphasize that Tracer is obviously at the forefront and therefore something for Overwatch may be in the works. Other players say that the Barbarian in the middle plays a central role and suspect important announcements for Diablo.

New rumors about Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 – For BlizzCon 2019?

There are many reactions to the poster. Everyone sees what they want to see. For some players, it’s clear that Overwatch and Diablo will play an important role at BlizzCon ’19 because they are positioned so centrally in the image.

The speculations about Diablo:

Players say that Blizzard wants to indicate by positioning it in the middle that Diablo will take the most important role at the event. Here the trends go towards Diablo Immortal. Do they want to announce a release?

“If they don’t suddenly come out with a Diablo 4 announcement, I’m pretty sure that all Diablo announcements will have to do with Immortal,” writes ltdansgotnewlegs on Reddit.

Diablo Immortal, the mobile game, was the big announcement of BlizzCon 2018.

diablo-4-title

On the other hand, hopes for Diablo 4 are high. An announcement for the new installment of the Diablo series has been desperately awaited by fans for many months. Some interpret the central placement of the Barbarian as an indication that Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 will be announced during BlizzCon 2019.

A major insider report named exciting details about Diablo 4, which is to become an MMO-lite.

The speculations about Overwatch 2

Many players want to interpret Tracer’s positioning in the foreground as an important hint.

“[Tracer] not only looks good, but is also prominently presented in the image. I have the feeling that Overwatch will be a major focus of BlizzCon this year. […]” writes hanyou007 on Reddit.

Overwatch Tracer Closeup

Here, a PvE expansion or a DLC is suspected. Instead of a PvE expansion, many believe in a story-based PvE game, Overwatch 2. There was an insider report that described Overwatch 2 as a kind of Left 4 Dead.

There is something for everyone

It is interesting that players from other franchises take something positive from the key art.

Generally, Blizzard always shows many characters in the key arts for the Blizzcons, which players interpret as something big. We advise not to get your hopes up too high and not to read too much into the poster.

Which franchise are you most looking forward to during BlizzCon 2019?

The Demogorgon kills so evil in Dead by Daylight

The Demogorgon will soon rage in Dead by Daylight. If you want to see just how he kills, you can check out the creepy Mori animation here.

The next chapter is coming soon in Dead by Daylight. The “Stranger Things” DLC is particularly significant, as it features not only a new killer and a new map but also two survivors. On the PTR, the new characters are already playable, which means the Demogorgon’s “Mori” animation is now available. Of course, we don’t want to withhold this from you.

What is a “Mori” animation? In Dead by Daylight, the killer usually wins when they hang the survivors on meat hooks and sacrifice them. However, all killers have the option to kill their victims directly “by hand”. This is possible through special perks or offerings. One of these offerings is the “Memento Mori” offerings. That’s why the community refers to the “Mori animation” – the specific animation with which a killer directly kills the survivor. Each killer has their own Mori animation that fits their character and backstory.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19-zECsPvjw

How the Demogorgon “morits”: The Demogorgon leaps at the survivor lying on the ground and slashes its claws into their torso. When the survivor holds their wounds, the Demogorgon opens its flower-like head and envelops the survivor’s head to eat him. It crunches and cracks grossly until the survivor is spat out and remains dead on the ground. The Demogorgon then pokes at its victim again and roars triumphantly.

The “Stranger Things” DLC is probably the smartest move of the game developers of Dead by Daylight.

Why is there no decapitation? Although Dead by Daylight is quite a brutal game, the Demogorgon’s Mori animation does not involve biting off a head, even though it would fit with the animation. The reason is likely that decapitations would cause Dead by Daylight to receive different age ratings in some countries or would not be allowed to be distributed openly. Previously, the developers had stated that there would be no decapitations in the game (at least depicted).

When is the Demogorgon coming? Currently, the Demogorgon is still on the PTR of Dead by Daylight. Its release will take place sometime in September, but there is no exact date yet.

Are you excited for the Demogorgon and will you get the DLC? What do you think of the Mori animation?

Player builds cornfield maze in Fallout 76 and people love it

Autumn is just around the corner, and with it comes the harvest of corn. To welcome autumn in the online game Fallout 76, a player has come up with something very special.

What has Fallout 76 player Jcoffill come up with? Jcoffill used about 75 percent of his Camp budget to create a maze made of corn in the online game Fallout 76.

He is now inviting all players to come and check it out. He promises some surprises while navigating the maze.

Into the cornfield

What’s the deal with cornfield mazes? Especially in the USA, mazes are created from cornfields. Usually for festivals to celebrate harvest time. One of the most famous corn mazes is built annually at Tulley’s Farm in Crawley, West Sussex. It is intended as a horror attraction.

Based on this tradition, Fallout 76 player Jcoffill has now built his own maze.

What does Jcoffill’s maze offer? It is a classic maze, with dead ends and many branches. You have to try to find the exit. There is a lot to see in the maze. Among other things, you will find a trader who offers interesting items suitable for the season.

From time to time, ghouls may wander into the field, which should provide a scare and make exploring the maze not entirely safe. By the way, you will recognize the end by the glow of a campfire.

Fallout 76 Cornfield Maze

Players love such creative things

How is the maze received? Many are excited about it and even dress up when they enter the corn maze. This adds extra fun as you can meet players dressed in funny or spooky outfits. These players even leave bags of candy in the field as a nod to Halloween.

The community on Reddit praises Jcoffill and says they are having a lot of fun in the maze. Such ideas to make his camp interesting are generally well received.

Where can you find the cornfield? A bit north of Charleston Station, you can discover the maze – but only if you are playing on PS4.

When is the maze ready for exploration? Jcoffill explains that you can enter the maze every evening.

Power-leveling or relaxation – How quickly do you level up in WoW Classic?

We want to know how fast you are in WoW Classic! Do you level up while running nonstop? Are you taking it easy? What level has your character already reached?

World of Warcraft Classic has been out for nearly two weeks now and many players are still roaming around in the “old” Azeroth. There are still queues on most realms every day and the interest remains high.

But how far have you, the players, progressed by now? Are you leveling up at turbo speed or are you taking your time and enjoying the old game world?

WoW classic title image human orc tauren

While it is a lot of fun for some players to rush through the leveling phase of WoW Classic as fast as possible, others are taking a more leisurely approach, taking their time for quests or leveling only together with a specific player. The first gnome achieved level 60 in just a few days through extreme grinding and even used a slight exploit to avoid waiting for enemies.

If you need some tips for leveling, you can find them here:

We now know what Megan Fox does in Black Desert - Not much

The MMORPG Black Desert has enlisted actress Megan Fox to promote the release on PS4. After several weeks of waiting, we now see the live-action trailer. It aims to show a magical transformation into the true self.

What’s going on with Megan Fox and Black Desert? This has been a long-standing question. Pearl Abyss, the developers of the MMORPG, have contracted Megan Fox (Transformers) as the “spoke-person” for the PS4 launch:

  • On August 22, a 15-second teaser trailer was released, featuring her driving through the desert in a convertible.
  • On August 30, a sort of interview with Megan Fox was released, in which she explained that Black Desert can help young girls feel empowered. It could have a therapeutic effect.
Black-Desert-Megan-Fox-1140x445

These videos were met with criticism from MMORPG fans. Questions arose about what exactly Megan Fox has to do with Black Desert and why it reflects so little of the experiences players have in the MMORPG.

The overarching idea of the campaign is that Black Desert can help individuals find their “true self.”

The actress has a breakdown in the desert, of course, there’s no mobile reception. So she gets out and immediately sees a laser beam in the distance.

As she approaches the beam, she first fixes her hair and then runs towards the beam. Ultimately, she discovers a magical PS4 controller in the sand and transforms from a beautiful actress into a just as beautiful MMORPG heroine.

Somehow, she seems to have skipped the class selection.

This is the message: The video is advertised as “It takes courage to move forward and become who you really are. Watch Megan’s transformation as she travels through the desert to become her true self.”

What’s behind it? It’s actually a classic commercial:

  • Beautiful woman promotes “beautiful product”
  • The advantages of Black Desert, the great graphics, are put in the spotlight

Because this likely doesn’t quite fit into today’s times, the “True Self” concept is added.

This is Megan Fox’s “true self,” according to Black Desert.

MMORPG players have already critically noted in recent weeks that what’s shown doesn’t really have much to do with Black Desert.

While playing, players tend to deal with mundane issues, such as players “blocking spots in Black Desert and biting anyone who wants to come near.”

Black Desert is currently the strongest PS4 game in the PS Store for new games in 2019.

When I see these armors in Destiny 2, I regret being a Warlock

The Warlock has plenty of cool abilities in Destiny 2, but when it comes to appearance, many of the armors just seem uninspired. Therefore, our author Christopher regrets choosing this class. Unfortunately, Shadowkeep doesn’t help either.

Which armor pieces are meant? At this point, I could list numerous armor pieces and sets that show why the Warlock simply looks terrible. However, I have chosen to select some special examples that best illustrate the problem I have with the design:

Phoenix Protocol Chestpiece

For example, we have the Phoenix Protocol Chestpiece, which does have its own idea, but it’s not particularly beautiful. Ultimately, it’s just a regular robe. Now it seems they thought it would be especially cool if it were adorned with 50 cables. However, with that, you look more like a telecom technician and less like a venerable battle mage.

Starfire Protocol Robe

The Starfire Protocol Robe lacks any semblance of a reasonable idea. Apart from the symbols on the robe, there is nothing special to see here. Uniqueness is sought in vain.

Simulator Robe

When the Faction Wars took place in Destiny 2, I held out a slight hope that I might find some treasures for my Warlock, and I could finally build a good-looking battle mage in the future war cult. But I was unfortunately left with the Simulator Robe. It looks like the last rag my mage could find in his closet just to wear something and not run naked around the Tower.

In principle, I have no problem if sets for a mage class revolve around robes, but the fact that they are almost exclusively designed around the robes is a thorn in my side.

At the beginning, the armor wasn’t bad, but then the ideas ran out

Why do I sometimes regret being a Warlock: With the launch of Destiny 2, Bungie brought many cool ideas to the game. The armor pieces back then felt fresh and new. This also applied to the Warlock’s armor pieces. Now it seems the only idea for the mage is to be given boring robes that hardly differ from each other. Due to a lack of concepts, the armor sets look increasingly similar and hardly bring anything new. My class doesn’t deserve that!

The Wings of Sacred Dawn made my Warlock look noble and fit very well with the Dawnblade. This chestpiece contained more than just another robe. The golden design with the angelic wings was something really special and made me hopeful. Generally, many of the starting sets for the Warlock were very well designed, and I felt like a wizard in space. None of this could really compete with the armors from Destiny 1, but I was convinced that Bungie would improve here, and I would see good Warlock sets with creative ideas.

The Exotic Chest Armor “Wings of Sacred Dawn”

After all, I’ve been primarily playing a Warlock since Day 1 of Destiny and was quite sure that I wanted to continue playing this class. But it quickly became clear to me that my air mage would likely always look worse than all the other classes in the game. When I look at current armors, I increasingly regret having chosen the Warlock.

What change occurred? By now, I consider the Warlock to be the class in the game that looks the worst. Support and new ideas? Nonexistent!

Instead, from season to season, there are more and more Warlock armors that follow the same design. They are only variations of old garments, because apparently Bungie believes that Warlocks can only be represented by robes. Many of the chestpieces almost exclusively follow this schema.

Those waiting for bulkier armors with edges and points will be thoroughly disappointed. They apparently don’t dare to try different ideas or play around with combinations.

How about a cool battle mage armor if I want to look like a strong warrior with my Warlock? That won’t work, as many armor pieces tend to be rather a boring wizard with a robe. So I am visually pushed into a role with my class that I might have imagined differently.

How do players perceive the Warlock? Other Guardians also seem not entirely satisfied with the Warlock’s appearance. While there are always some individual pieces that look quite okay, fundamentally, the Warlock ranks the worst in appearance and gets the ugliest sets gifted by Bungie.

Destiny 2 Black Armory gear 1

The armor of the Black Armory and the Dawn Chestpiece is considered by some Guardians to be what suits a Warlock.

A Guardian on reddit hits the nail on the head and says:

“The overwhelming majority (of the armors) looks like a Warlock has gouged out their own eyes and has ransacked their closet.”

Of course, there are also other voices in the community that believe the Warlock looks totally okay, but that remains a matter of taste.

Will everything get better with Shadowkeep and Season 8?

How does the new Shadowkeep armor for the Warlock look? Before every new season and upcoming expansions, I sit in front of the PC and keep my fingers crossed that my Warlock will receive cool new armor and one day also get a compliment for it.

With the new Shadowkeep armor, however, my mage should quickly hide as he comes with this dreadful owl mask that is at least on the creepiness level of Pennywise the clown.

destiny 2 shadowkeep laser warlock

By now, I seriously wonder if Bungie simply doesn’t like the Warlock and is thus intentionally making him uglier. I simply can’t explain the design of the Moon Armor otherwise. The theme could have offered so much, and instead, I get to see a drunken owl. No wonder my mage ends up being an outsider and is probably only still tolerated by other Guardians thanks to his Well of Radiance.

Are hopes resting on the new Vex armor? At least there’s a new season starting this fall. There must be something nice in it, right?

destiny 2 vex offensive

Only to a limited extent. While the Vex armor for the Season of the Undying generally looks decent, the Warlock doesn’t stand out much. Instead, he gets a regular robe with Vex skin. The design is relatively interchangeable. While the Titan is gifted unique Vex wings, my Warlock has to settle for the absolute standard and resembles more a Bionicle than a true mage.

A Warlock must look good too! For the time being, it seems there won’t be anything with my stylish air wizard. However, some exceptions keep giving me hope that Bungie will find the right path one day and has great plans for the Warlock. After all, there’s still new content in the form of the Battle Pass waiting for us, and this season won’t be the last one.

I’m sure my Warlock will soon be able to walk through the world with dignity. Armor 2.0 at least brings the possibility to experiment a bit more. Thus, it should be possible to find a transitional solution to make my mage look like one. But until then, he has to settle for his old robes and accept that he simply doesn’t look as good as the other classes.

Do you also think Bungie is neglecting the Warlock, or do you have a completely different opinion?

19-Year-Old Explains to Pros How Fortnite Really Works – Turns Boys into Millionaires

19-year-old Hugh Gilmour is considered one of the best Fortnite coaches in the world. He has helped make millionaires out of teenagers at the Fortnite World Cup and does so at quite a reasonable price.

Who is he? The 19-year-old top coach is named Hugh Gilmour. Online, he goes by “DestinysJesus”.

In an interview with the BBC, he reveals that he lives with his parents in Kent, England.

The idea of becoming a coach was born out of necessity. He couldn’t make it as a professional Fortnite player himself. Gilmour tried from March 2018 to July 2019 but failed to qualify for the World Cup. So he could just as well coach.

He says he worked for 3 years in a gym and discovered his passion for leading others to success.

Protégés earn $17 million at Fortnite World Cup

Whom has he coached? Among the players who Hugh helped to become millionaires are:

  • 16-year-old Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf – he became the solo winner at the Fortnite World Championship and took home $3 million in prize money, although a lot of it will go to taxes.
  • 15-year-old Jaden “Wolfiez” Ashman and his partner “Dave “Rojo” Jong, who together made $2.25 million. They became World Cup runners-up in duo.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The coach’s homepage showcases his successes.

According to his own homepage, Gilmour’s protégés earned almost $17 million in prize money at the Fortnite World Cup alone (via destinyjesus).

This means players who took hours with him captured more than half of the total earnings available at the Fortnite World Cup:

With the resume, “DestinyJesus” was looking for a permanent job as a coach.

How much does he charge? Hugh charges £120 per session, which is about €133, as reported by the BBC. He does not participate in the winnings of his protégés.

However, he knew it would be good for him when his protégés performed so well at the World Cup. It enhances his reputation in the scene.

Fortnite is not a children’s game

How does he help the players? Gilmour says most people look at Fortnite and think it’s a kids’ game because of the cartoon graphics. But Fortnite is complex and deep. It’s an intense game.

Players must invest a lot of work into mechanics, aiming, and looting.

Hugh spends a lot of his time on video analysis. He analyzes landing spots and routes, teaching players specific techniques on how to defend themselves. Coaching takes place via video chat on Discord.

What do the pros he helped say? Rojo, one of the new millionaires, says the coaching was extremely important. This way, they knew where other people landed and could refine their own landing and rotation.

He and Wolfiez made some mistakes as a duo that they could fix before the tournament, thanks to the help of the coach. Without those hours, they would probably have made the mistakes and would not have placed second.

Coaching is now a crucial part of esports.

But it’s not just “guys” who benefit from the training. Experienced Twitch streamers and older players like Nickmercs and SypherPk now trust the coach.

The Twitch streamer Nicksmercs says he and SypherpK paid Hugh to watch over their videos (via dexerto):

He showed us a lot of crap we just can’t do anymore. We used impulse grenades incorrectly, rotated wrongly, built wrong. We did so many stupid things that we really can’t do anymore.
