How to win the time trial Sawmill in GTA Online

The route: After the start, you will drive left across the area, take a shortcut, and then follow the tracks for a few kilometers. Shortly after Trevor’s airstrip, you will then turn back onto the street. Then it’s just a few meters to the finish.

This is how the ride goes: Right after the start, you shouldn’t go straight over the bridge, but left across the sawmill’s area.

At this point, go right through the wall and head directly towards the tunnel, where you will drive in and follow the tracks.

For an extended period, you will now speed along the tracks. Keep in mind that a train could come from the front at any time, so prepare to dodge.

When you reach the desert, turn right after Trevor’s airstrip, drive along an unpaved road, and thus find your way back to the street.

Follow this road straight ahead until you see the barrier on the left. Break through it and stay on the road to finally reach the finish.

Video Tutorial: The time trial Sawmill has been beaten by the guys from GTA-Series, and their attempt has been recorded in this YouTube video:

Can you repeat the race? Yes, you can run it as often as you like. However, the 102,000 GTA Dollars are only awarded once per event week.

Which vehicle should you use? In our attempt, we used the Tron bike “Shotaro” and reached the finish on time. Other motorcycles are also suitable. Cars without rocket propulsion like the new Locust should be avoided in this time trial.

In GTA Online, you can earn much more money in the coming days. We will show you how to do that:

Known FIFA 20 Trophy List – To get Platinum you have to play a lot of FUT

Tom Rothstein 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

For FIFA 20, you will find all trophies and achievements in the list here. In total, you need to unlock 31 trophies to be rewarded with Platinum on PS4.

What are trophies in FIFA 20? Trophies (PS4) or Achievements (Xbox One) refer to unlockable successes. For some players, they hold significant importance – they attempt to collect all the trophies to complete the game – while others skillfully ignore them.

All trophy hunters can already prepare for what they need to do from the FIFA 20 release to obtain all achievements. Because the trophy list is already known.

All trophies and achievements require FUT and Volta – Trophy Guide

So many trophies does FIFA 20 have: There are 31 trophies and achievements. If you collect them all, you unlock the Platinum trophy as a reward on PS4. So there are 32 trophies on PS4.

How high is the gamerscore? In total, 1000 gamerscore points can be earned. So far, only this score is known for the respective achievements. But normally, 15 points are equivalent to bronze trophies, 30 points to silver trophies, and 80 points to gold trophies.

All bronze trophies in the list (15 gamerscore):

Sharpshooter: Scores a free-kick goal
Perfection: Completes all multiplayer skill games
Natural Talent: Wins a penalty shootout without a miss
Master Focus: Scores a goal with perfect finishing timing
Squad Showdown: Wins a match in the FUT Squad Battles
Interior Decorator: Customizes your stadium by obtaining and applying a choreo or stadium theme in FUT
Friendly Fun: Plays a game in FUT friendlies with any house rules
Grand Strategist: Creates your own, individual tactic in FIFA Ultimate Team
Puzzle Master: Completes 10 squad-building challenges in FUT
Learning the Ropes: Receives a task group reward in FUT
Unstoppable: Completes and wins your first league match in Pro Clubs Seasons
In the Game: Plays a match with women.

All silver trophies in the list (30 gamerscore): Presumably, there are also a few bronze trophies included, as the quality gradations for trophies (PS4) are not yet known:

Ranking Up: Reaches a Gold 3 rank in FUT squad battles
Welcome to the League: Achieves your first qualification for the FUT Champions Weekend League
Play of the Season: Receives a season reward in FUT
Divide and Conquer: Reaches level 3 or better in FUT Division Rivals
Getting into the Action: Plays 3 Volta kickoff matches with different team formations
Beginner’s Luck: Wins a match in Surprise Ball or King of the Hill
Wise Choice: Unlocks all attributes of a skill tree path
At the Top: Plays and completes a house rules cup in Pro Clubs
Evolution: Unlocks a super attribute in Pro Clubs
Explorer: Takes part in both a pre-match and a post-match press conference in Career Mode
Comfort-Zone: Selects all types of available responses in press conferences
Trendsetter: Wears 3 different outfits in three different matches
The Legends: Wins the UEFA Europa League Final
The Collector: Collects 5 legends in Volta

All gold trophies in the list (80 gamerscore):

Divisive Figure: Plays a match in Division 4 or higher in Division Rivals in FUT
Club Legend: Achieves 200 club appearances with a player in FIFA Ultimate Team
Going down in History: Wins the UEFA Champions League Final
End of the Journey: Completes the Volta Story
Only One: Maximizes the overall rating of your avatar in Volta

Platinum trophy: Unlocks all other trophies (PS4 only)

What stands out? The trophies and achievements mainly revolve around the new Volta mode, where you can kick on the street, and Ultimate Team. Particularly the trophy where you need to reach Division 4 in the Division Rivals could pose a significant hurdle for some players. How long it will take to maximize the overall rating of the Volta avatar remains to be seen.

3 new exotics spotted at PAX West from Destiny 2: Shadowkeep – What can they do?

Sven Galitzki 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

At PAX West 2019, players discovered 3 new exotics from Destiny 2: Shadowkeep in the game. Now we know what these guns can do.

Where does the info come from? At PAX West, interested players currently have the opportunity to try out new features in Destiny 2 and get a preview of some fresh content – such as Armor 2.0 or some new weapons.

Attentive fans have already discovered 3 exotics there that will likely be introduced with the Shadowkeep expansion. Specifically, it is about

the insect MG, which currently has no official name
the Void rocket launcher Deathbringer, which bears some resemblance to the Gjallarhorn
as well as the exotic weapon Divinity – a raid exotic

A Guardian has apparently already experienced the machine gun in action, describing his impressions.

This is what the insect MG from Shadowkeep can do

The MG has already caught the attention of Guardians some time ago. It was first sighted as a real model at GuardianCon in early July. However, there was no further information about it. Now it was discovered at PAX in the playable build of Destiny 2. However, it still does not have a proper name, just a placeholder.

The MG deals Solar damage. The exotic perk is called Pyrotoxin Rounds. With this, the MG fires high-powered explosive ammunition (fires high-powered explosive ammunition).

As the Reddit user VON_TAR mentions, the MG plays differently than previous models. It shoots effectively like a linear fusion rifle, but without delay and drop-off.

The MG is semi-automatic and can hold a maximum of 13 shots in the magazine (3 shots per ammo box in PvP). It deals 150 damage to the body and kills instantly with a headshot (PvP). Overall, this weapon plays very satisfyingly, according to the Redditor.

This is what the rocket launcher Deathbringer can do

This rocket launcher has already caught the fans’ attention in the Gamescom trailer for Shadowkeep. Now it has also been discovered in the game itself at PAX.

The Deathbringer deals Void damage and has one rocket in the magazine. Its exotic perk is called Dark Deliverance. This allows the launcher to fire remote-detonated projectiles that drop void orbs on enemies. In the trailer, these void spheres also followed the enemies. To fire, you press the shoot button. If you release it, the projectile detonates.

This is what the exotic weapon Divinity can do

This exotic weapon was first sighted at PAX and apparently comes from the raid. The Reddit user tehr0b rummaged through the raid collection in the menus and discovered this new exotic there.

Divinity deals Arc damage and has 194 shots in the magazine. The exotic perk is called Judgement. Continuous damage from this weapon envelops the target in a force field that weakens and disrupts enemies.

What do you think of these 3 new exotics? Are they making you excited for more?

Guild Wars 2 announces the Icebrood Saga – Here are the first reactions

Irina Moritz 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

ArenaNet announced the next big chapter of the Living World for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 in a stream. We summarize what fans had to say about this announcement.

Here’s what the Icebrood Saga is about: The Icebrood Saga will revolve around the Elder Dragon Jormag and the hordes of his mindless slaves. Long ago, Jormag corrupted the Norn hunter Svanir and brought him under his influence.

This led to the cult of the Sons of Svanir, who have turned away from worshiping the spirits of the wild and now adore Jormag. The Elder Dragon has amassed more power over time and poses a great threat to Tyria.

New features of the Icebrood Saga include:

more story chapters
new areas in the Bitterfrost
assault missions that are a mix of raids and meta-events
new world bosses like Drakkar, the Champion of Jormag
build templates and loadouts for your characters

What fans are saying about the announcement

Over 32,000 viewers attended the announcement stream, and right after the trailer went online, the first reactions rolled in—both excited and disappointed.

What fans are excited about: Players of the MMORPG are especially celebrating the continuation of the story of Guild Wars 2. The stream had about 32,000 viewers, and in the YouTube comments under the trailer, players are particularly looking forward to the dragon Jormag, who they consider to be a good villain and whose voice they find very fitting.

The best villains are those who do not control others through brute force but through psychological tricks.
Laura Piacentini Casarin on YouTube

guild wars 2 jormag — Dragon Jormag appears at the end of the trailer

In general, many are eager for the continuation of the story, now leading into the snowy areas of the Bitterfrost. User Mr. Stregu wrote, for example:

I’m so excited! The story is the main reason I play this game!

Players are also looking forward to the build templates. It’s one of the most highly anticipated new features coming to Guild Wars 2.

Why some fans are disappointed: However, there were also disappointed fans who expected more from the announcement. On Reddit and Twitter, players are expressing their frustration. These players had hoped for this new content in particular:

specializations
raids
world versus world content
PvP content
playable races

I love the game, folks. But this announcement was not what the community expected.
@iamsiwel on Twitter

The prevailing feeling in these posts was that not enough concrete content was shown for such a large announcement. On the other hand, players also said that the expectations were probably too high for some. User Lordkrall wrote on Reddit:

They announced exactly what they told us a month ago […]. Why would one assume they’d announce anything else?

How did you find the presentation? Do you like Jormag as a villain? Would you have liked to see more? Let us know.

Pokémon GO: This is the research breakthrough for September and October

Patrick Freese 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Eevee with Flower Crown is the Research Breakthrough in September and October 2019 in Pokémon GO. Players are criticizing Niantic harshly.

What was announced? On August 31, Niantic reported that Eevee would be the Research Breakthrough for the next two months. This involves the special Eevee form with a flower crown on its head.

How long is Eevee a Research Breakthrough? From September 1, 2019 at 10:00 PM to November 1, 2019 at 10:00 PM, you will receive this Pokémon in Research Breakthroughs in Pokémon GO.

Is there a Shiny version? Yes. The developers confirmed that with some luck, you can also get a Shiny Eevee with a flower crown as a Research Breakthrough.

Keep in mind: If you catch an Eevee with a flower crown, you can evolve it into many other Eevee variants that wear such a flower crown. If you are still missing some in your collection, the Research Breakthroughs are a good opportunity to acquire these Pokémon.

How to develop Eevee strategically in Pokémon GO, you can find out here.

This is how players react to the Research Breakthrough for September and October 2019

What players are happy about: Opinions about the Eevee reward are divided on social media. Some players, especially collectors, are happy to complete their collection with the missing flower Eevees.

Another user writes on Twitter: “Of the 4 different Legendary Pokémon that have Shiny versions, Eevee is now added. I find that disappointing, especially considering it’s the month of Ultra Bonuses. Maybe the regional Kanto Pokémon would have been a better choice?”

In the Reddit thread regarding the Eevee announcement, this comment is currently the most upvoted: “This has to be the most disappointing Research Breakthrough so far. Why didn’t they just throw in the Regional Kanto Pokémon along with the Ultra Bonus into the rewards?”

Another player pointed out another problem. Those who don’t raid much or have little opportunity to do so in rural areas use the Research Breakthroughs to obtain Legendary Pokémon.

“For someone who doesn’t raid often and relies on Research Breakthroughs to fill their Pokédex, this is really disappointing.”

How do you like the Research Breakthrough? Can you still use a few Eevees, or would you have preferred to receive something Legendary?

The Division 2: Vendor Reset on 31.8. – This vest is a top deal

Tom Rothstein 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division 2, today, on August 31, the vendor reset is happening. There’s a strong item that you shouldn’t miss.

Here’s why the vendor reset is worth it: At 2 AM from Friday to Saturday, the vendors in Washington D.C. swap out their goods, enticing curious agents to spend their credits.

The items in the vendor offers can be used to optimize your builds and to stack powerful stats into your gear. Therefore, we only show items that are as close to a max value as possible. This way, you significantly reduce months of farming for top rolls.

Clan hopping is in this week

If you want the really good stuff this week, you need to switch between multiple clans at different levels. The clan vendor offers different gear depending on the clan’s level. This clan hopping annoys many and has been heavily criticized, but it’s an efficient way to get good loot.

This is the top item of the week: At the clan vendor at level 15, you will find a vest from Gila Guard. This body armor grants +25% total armor – this bonus to overall armor is enormous. This allows you to boost the armor on your builds.

It’s best to buy several of them right away, because you won’t find a better roll anytime soon.

In addition to the total armor, the armored vest also provides +3% headshot damage, +4% crit chance, and the talent “Self-Regulating”, which grants +20% armor regeneration. By the way, as a Gila Guard vest, it gives an extra +5% total armor.

More good items:

A Providence backpack can be found at the clan vendor at level 21, which is great for skill builds . It has bonuses of +15% skill haste, +5.5% crit chance, +335 skill power, and the talents Vital (+20% health) and Skilled (skill kills have a 25% chance to reset skill cooldowns)

An Airaldi Holdings holster is available from the clan vendor at level 30. This offers a solid +14.5% crit chance.
A Gila Guard backpack is also waiting for you at the level 30 clan vendor, featuring almost 25,000 armor.

You can find all other offers this week here on the rubenalamina page.

What about Cassie? The secret vendor Cassie has her reset at different times. With title update 4, there was a change, so she is updated only on the night from Saturday to Sunday. We will probably embed a video about her here on Sunday morning – if we forget, you can probably find it on the German-speaking YouTube channel ue40zocken.

Jeff Kaplan is responsible for the most annoying quest in WoW Classic

Cortyn 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

To ensure all players could read his short story, Jeff Kaplan created a particularly annoying quest in World of Warcraft Classic.

World of Warcraft Classic has been released for several days now, and the rush is still tremendous. Blizzard continues to release small promo videos in which the original developers of the Vanilla version of World of Warcraft reveal a few details. This time it was Jeff Kaplan’s turn, the current Overwatch head. He mainly remembers how he annoyed everyone.

This quest is Jeff Kaplan’s fault: Jeff Kaplan was one of two quest designers back then. He is responsible for a variety of tasks that players experience today in WoW Classic. However, one task has particularly stuck in his memory, as it frequently drove players to despair. This refers to the quest “The Green Hills of Stranglethorn.” This quest had several built-in mechanics that players are sure to remember.

Link to the YouTube content

What was so terrible about the quest? For the quest, one had to find several pages of the book “The Green Hills of Stranglethorn.” The pages could randomly drop from almost all enemies within Stranglethorn with a low probability. Those who wanted to complete the quest worked on it for days or bought pages from the auction house or traded with other players. Additionally, each page took up an inventory slot, which was extremely scarce – after all, most players in Stranglethorn only had 8-10 bag slots.

More on the topic

See here how much fun the original developers have with WoW Classic

von Cortyn

Why did Jeff Kaplan do this? The reason is simple: He wrote the short story “The Green Hills of Stranglethorn” and wanted players to read it. However, he knew that hardly anyone would read it if it just lay around as a single book in the game world. So he built a quest around it that divided the book into many pages.

The first player has already reached level 60.

Whether the plan helped is something everyone must decide for themselves.

First player in WoW Classic reaches level 60 – Wants to delete character

Benedict Grothaus 30. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

It’s time! The first player has reached WoW Classic Level 60. What most players had to achieve through months of effort, Jokerd accomplished in less than 4 days. Now he wants to delete his level 60 character.

Who is this player? The first player to reach level 60 in WoW Classic is Jokerd. Under the name JokerdTV, he streamed his run on Twitch and was already the first player at level 51 yesterday by a considerable margin.

Jokerd reaches Level 60 and wants to delete the character

How did he do it? Jokerd farmed for days with his gnome mage. As a mage, he could utilize a tactic to pull many enemies together. Then he could use spells like Blizzard and Frost Nova to stop and slowly kill them.

Since he could also supply himself with water, he had to go to the city less often to restock than potential competitors. This allowed Jokerd to reach level 60 in less than four full days. With our 10 tips, you can also quickly reach level 60.

The player probably hardly slept and did little else that was not necessary to survive the grind to level 60 in WoW Classic. Other players resorted to somewhat unscrupulous tricks to avoid being kicked from the game and having to wait in queues.

This is how Jokerd deals with it: After reaching level 60, Jokerd showed on his stream how he will delete his mage. He opened the character screen, clicked “delete”, and followed the instructions for deletion.

At the moment (August 30 at 8:45 PM), he could still not delete his character – because he has mail. As long as a character has unread mail, it cannot be deleted.

In his Twitch chat, people are now calling to send him mail, and more and more letters with congratulations are appearing. The community does not seem to want to allow him to delete the gnome.

Level 60 – and now?

What’s next: Currently, Jokerd is the only player at level 60. Other players, such as the professionals from Method, are lagging behind. The highest player after Jokerd is currently only at level 56 (via dotesports).

As soon as more players reach level 60, the “World First Race” in Classic can begin. Here, several groups will compete again to be the first in the world to defeat famous bosses like Onyxia or Ragnaros (again).

Another streamer has had a rough time so far:

ArcheAge: “Not-Pay2Win” MMORPG announces release date and prices – Sounds absurd

Schuhmann 30. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG ArcheAge will be relaunched 5 years after its launch as a “Free2Play” game. This time as a premium MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained, completely without Pay2Win elements. Now the release date and prices are known. However, the message sounds absurd.

This is the story of ArcheAge: The MMORPG ArcheAge was a hopeful sign for MMORPG fans in Europe and North America in late summer 2014.

At that time, WildStar and The Elder Scrolls Online had just launched but had already failed quite badly. The new WoW expansion “Warlords of Draenor” was still far off, and MMORPG fans longed for something new and different.

ArcheAge had a good reputation in Korea at that time, as it was developed by MMORPG legend Jake Song and offered interesting sandbox concepts – many found it exciting back then, it was something new. Nowadays, sandbox MMORPGs are more of the standard than the exception.

Technical problems and Pay2Win caused ArcheAge to fail

Why did ArcheAge fail? At launch in the West, ArcheAge was a huge success for Trion Worlds. The servers were overloaded. But the good mood faded quickly:

ArcheAge relied on “Pay2Win” mechanics – those who spent real money in the shop could buy advantages.

Trion Worlds later admitted this, saying there was little they could do – they had signed contracts with the Korean developers.

Burdened with a multitude of technical problems, the MMORPG could not achieve long-term success – numerous restarts in the years that followed and major content updates ultimately failed, with only a hardcore remaining loyal to ArcheAge.

However, some players said that the MMORPG itself was great – especially for guilds. It offered so many freedoms, especially in housing, trading, and the economic system. If it weren’t for the cash shop…

More on the topic

These 3 AAA MMORPGs have brutally failed despite the hype

von Schuhmann

Once again with feeling

This is new now: Trion Worlds has since been dissolved and the German company gamigo is now leading the MMORPG. Some of the leading minds from Trion Worlds have been acquired.

gamigo is now releasing a premium version of the MMORPG with ArcheAge Unchained. The big promise is not to sell any “Pay2Win” elements.

It is repeatedly emphasized that players can earn everything, there are no overpowering premium items.

Release date and prices of ArcheAge Unchained

When is the release? The release of ArcheAge Unchained is on September 30, 2019.

What does ArcheAge Unchained cost? Gamigo offers 3 founder packages:

The cheapest for €25.99, the middle one for €49.99, and the most expensive for €79.99. However, only cosmetic items and emotes are supposed to be included. Pre-orders receive special bonuses. Here is the website for pre-orders (via archeageunchained.com).

ArcheAge was Pay2Win – ArcheAge Unchained is not

This is what it’s about: The absurdity in the version is that the new team behind ArcheAge Unchained indirectly admits with each press release just how terrible Pay2Win the “original release” of ArcheAge was. This is evident from every other sentence.

Archeage-Unchained-Botschaft — A screenshot of the homepage of ArcheAge Unchained.

It is somewhat absurd when a major selling argument is that now everything “can be earned by any fan equally.”

Or that there are “No shortcuts to obtain powerful equipment.”

Nice also is the message: “Your gameplay progress will only be limited by your own ambitions.”

What is the current class balance in Diablo 3?

Robert Albrecht 30. August 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

It feels like only wizards and necromancers appear in the leaderboards of the highest portal levels. The actual numbers support this, but also show astonishing changes in the best classes in Diablo 3. Why is it so hard to achieve perfect balance, and does Blizzard even want that? A look at the statistics.

Which leaderboards are actually being discussed? The endgame content in Diablo 3 is mainly defined by the great Nephalem Rifts (English: Greater Rifts). For several years now, players have been trying to solo reach the highest portal levels.

The realm of possibility has continuously shifted upward in recent years, mainly due to changes made by Blizzard.

What is Blizzard doing to continually push the limits? With each new season in Diablo 3, many changes are made to class abilities as well as bonuses from armor sets and other equipment. These changes enable players to reach ever higher portal levels. These balance changes recently kicked off Season 18 in Diablo 3.

What role does “balance” play in these considerations? In fact, Blizzard has to perform a tightrope walk here. A too strong class is likely to be favored by players to reach the highest portal levels in the leaderboard. For this reason, game developers strive to design all classes to be about equally strong to avoid advantages for certain classes. A look at the statistics of the past years shows that this has been achieved better at times than others.

What statistics were referenced? On the site eu.diablo3.com, statistics for the class-specific portal levels for 11 past seasons can be traced back to the year 2014. This way, all solo high scores of the great Nephalem Rifts can be displayed and compared. You can find the results of this evaluation in the following graphic (as of 08/30, 2:00 PM):

How can the graphic be interpreted? While the Barbarian and Demon Hunter were still unchallenged at the top in 2014, other classes have improved significantly in recent seasons. The feeling that the wizard and the necromancer have been at the top for some time can be supported by the numbers without a doubt. In a balance patch for Season 17, the Necromancer was the big winner.

However, it also shows something else:

Indeed, the performance of different classes fluctuates significantly. Only the Witch Doctor can almost always be found in the lower realms.
Since the beginning of recording, the individual classes have been able to gain an average of 80 portal levels, which equals a gigantic progress. At the same time, criticism has emerged, that Diablo 3 is becoming easier and easier.
The differences between the classes have decreased in the past seasons. In Season 2014-1 there were still 13 levels between the best and worst class, whereas in the current season there are only 9. In some cases, the differences are even smaller.

And what does that say about the balance in Diablo 3? Although the wizard and the necromancer have been leading for some time, the differences are small. The Crusader has also been one of the top classes in past seasons. Furthermore, Blizzard has ensured in the past that the same class does not always play at the top, but has also ensured variety.

Specifically, the necromancer is also a special case. He has only been in the game for two years and is not coincidentally one of the strongest classes. Economic considerations on the part of Blizzard may play a role here, as the necromancer is available for purchase and is not a starter class.

That’s why the balance in Diablo 3 is not so important: Diablo 3 does not have a mode where players compete against each other. In that case, class balancing would be of much greater importance to avoid unfair advantages.

And to be honest, classes are fun in different ways. Each role is played differently and has individual strengths and weaknesses. Many players choose the class that they enjoy the most. And that’s a good thing.

What do you think about the whole balancing topic? Should Blizzard take action here? Or are you satisfied with how it is right now?

Guild Wars 2: We already know details about the new chapter of the MMORPG

Irina Moritz 30. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The next big chapter of the Living World of Guild Wars 2 is now known. The Icebrood Saga begins on September 17 and brings new story content as well as new features.

What is the Icebrood Saga? The continuation of the Living World of Guild Wars 2 will take players to the icy north in the autumn. There, deep in the Shiverpeaks, the Elder Ice Dragon Jormag continues to gain power and expand its corrupted influence. He will become a serious threat to the inhabitants of Tyria.

He is supported by the defector cult “Sons of Svanir”. They have turned away from the worship of the Spirits of the Wild and instead pray to the Elder Dragon as their ultimate animal totem. He has already corrupted countless Norn and Kodan and made them his mindless slaves.

The owners of the expansion Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire will receive the entire Icebrood Saga for free. A prologue titled “Bound by Blood” will be released on September 17. The first episode is expected to be released later this autumn.

You can watch the stylish trailer here:

Other features include:

New boss creatures in the areas around Grothmar Valley and the Northern Shiverpeaks
Drakkar, the Champion of the Elder Dragon Jormag, whom fans will recognize from Guild Wars 1. He will appear as a world boss in Episode 2
New masteries that tell the story of the Spirits of the Wild. The first will come with Episode 1 and focus on the Raven
A new PvP armor has been announced
Additionally, features such as build templates and WvW updates from the roadmap in April are expected to be released “soon”.

Fortnite is rolling back a patch: What is behind the crazy strategy?

Schuhmann 30. August 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In Fortnite , the patch policy has become strange. The developers have repeatedly proven that they are not afraid of radical, sweeping updates, only to cave in and retract the changes when the backlash is loud enough. What’s behind this?

How does Epic patch? Epic actually patches Fortnite every week – but only every other week does a real update come:

At the start of a season, a major update with a full number is released – here Epic brings the big features of a season
Every 2 weeks, a patch is released that brings new items, removes old ones, or implements larger changes
In between, weekly “content updates” are released that usually change just a little bit in Fortnite

Epic wants to be radically different

The amazing thing is: Epic wants to keep its game Fortnite fresh by any means necessary. In Season X, the patches are particularly radical. Epic’s stated goal is this quarter:

To also give “weak” players a chance to win and collect successful experiences
To limit the advantages of “strong” players

Here is how Fortnite aims to weaken the “strong” players: Just in this season, there have been two major patch changes:

Right with Season 10, the “Mechs” came to Fortnite, extremely powerful vehicles that could decide a match
On August 28th, Epic also announced, changing turbo building, so that the strongest players with top ping no longer have such a significant advantage

More on the topic

Fortnite nerfs Turbo Building – Top players are really upset

von Patrick Freese

This very pattern of radical changes can also be observed in past seasons:

Epic has already brought a powerful sword to Fortnite – and announced that it will continue with more “legendary items” in the same manner
established a predecessor of the Mech with the airplanes
introduced advantages for aggressive players, then removed them from the game

Twitch Streamers and Pros are taking up the pitchforks

This is the reaction: Every time such a change occurs, a powerful backlash descends on Epic. The Twitch streamers and Fortnite pros mobilize their followers. In the worst case, they threaten to strike or just play Uno.

Streamers complain that Epic really has no idea what they are doing. They are driving the game into the ground.

The demand is then often: “Revert” – take the patch back. A few weeks ago, the hashtag “RemoveTheMechs” even trended on Twitter.

This protest incites other users on reddit, Twitter, or YouTube, and the sentiment boils over social media.

Here’s how Epic reacts: Epic’s response to all these things is to initially stand firm, but ultimately to cave in.

It seems Epic is following a plan. They let the controversial change stay online for a few days before ultimately giving in and altering it. Often, they seek a compromise:

they held on to the Mechs firmly at first, then reduced their spawn rate in arena mode, and ultimately hit them with the nerf hammer
They corrected the turbo building just after one day
previous changes were usually reverted after some back and forth
only a few “season-important” changes, like the baller or the airplanes, remained in the game for a full 10 weeks – but they had to endure nerfs over and over again

Fortnite: Patch first, ask later

What’s behind this: Epic must now know how the Fortnite community reacts to such radical changes that come at the expense of “good players”. But apparently, they keep trying and boldly push forward with their updates.

They patch, so to speak, “by sight” and react to the movement of the community:

If everything stays calm, they leave the change in
If there’s a roar, they retract the change

This strange “shoot first, ask later” style keeps Fortnite constantly in discussion, but it also puts a lot of pressure on the community’s mood.

The advantage for Epic is:

The game remains genuinely fresh this way
Fortnite is constantly discussed and stays in the media

The disadvantage for Epic is:

they are constantly flamed on social media
and there’s a permanent unrest in the game
the pressure on the developers is apparently extremely high – they have to work overtime to revert changes

Apparently, Epic is willing to accept this for the moment. If it’s madness, it at least has a method.

Whoever enters the raid of Fallout 76 after patch 13 gets what he deserves

Benedict Grothaus 30. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

After players of Fallout 76 have requested several improvements to the game, Bethesda is now responding to these wishes. Particularly, the new Raid Vault 94 will receive some love in the next patch.

These were the issues so far: For some time now, bugs in Fallout 76 have been causing frustration for some players. These include:

Bugs with power armor
Connection drops and unstable servers
Disappearing enemies and corpses

Since Vault 94 was released as the first raid, there have been some problems here as well. Players completed the raid and received disappointing loot.

Many of these issues are to be fixed by Bethesda in the upcoming update 13, with a focus on issues with the raid.

These changes are coming in Patch 13

These bugs will be fixed: In a new “Out of the Vault” update, a list of bug fixes has been presented that are to be implemented in the next patch. The most important ones include:

Improvements for Vault 94 – items such as the drill should no longer appear as loot. Additionally, the experience points gained and the number of items required for completion are to be increased.
Stability improvements – According to many players, stability has become worse again since Patch 12. Patch 13 is supposed to improve performance and reduce connection drops, especially in Vault 94.
Power armor bugs – Players exiting their power armor are losing control over their character more frequently. This bug is more complex than initially thought, but it is on the list for fixes. Whether the fix will actually come with Patch 13 is still uncertain.

These issues are still being addressed: Bethesda also intends to make adjustments to mods, weapons, and armor. Several bugs are to be fixed that cause incorrect calculations of armor penetration or unclear explanations of mods.

Additionally, the option to display collectible mods is expected to be added.

A complete list of the fixes announced so far can be found on the official website of Bethesda.

This feature is already active: Even though the focus is on fixing bugs, a new feature is coming. The new legendary vendor of Fallout 76 now has special offers.

Until Tuesday, September 3rd at 6 PM, you will receive a 25% discount on all legendary weapons and armor.

This is how players see it: Fallout 76 has been criticized by fans for its unresolved bugs for some time now. There have already been extensive discussions about new features being temporarily halted until the game runs smoothly and without bugs.

In the announcement of Patch 13 on reddit, there is considerable excitement regarding the bug fixes. Players are pleased that bugs are finally being addressed. Although some wish that more action were taken, most fans agree that a thorough overhaul in slow steps is better.

Some other players are just making the best of the bugs they encounter:

New Hearthstone adventure has release date, enticing with free packs

Cortyn 30. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The next Hearthstone adventure “Tombs of Terror” is coming soon. Even before that, you can snag 5 packs.

The release of the Hearthstone expansion “Saviors of Uldum” was a few weeks ago, but there has been no sign of the solo adventure until now. That has changed, as the “Tombs of Terror” now has a release date – but even before that, you can snag card packs.

When do the Tombs of Terror start? The Tombs of Terror have their official release on September 17, 2019. There is no set time yet, but typically such new game modes go live in the early evening (around 20:00).

There are rewards in advance: To prepare for the new solo content, there will be special card chaos variants in the weeks before that hint at the upcoming story. In total, you can snag 5 card packs through the card chaos variants and associated quests, of which 2 belong to the Classic set and 3 to the latest expansion “Saviors of Uldum”.

This is what you get in Week 1: From September 4 to September 10, there is “The League of Explorers is back!”. Here, you must help Elise Starseeker save and reunite the other friends of the League of Explorers so they are ready for the upcoming adventure.

As a reward, there is a classic card pack and a pack from Saviors of Uldum.

This is what you get in Week 2: From September 11 to September 18, there is the event “Three Wishes,” where Zephrys the Great hosts a card chaos and grants players all sorts of wishes.

As a reward, there is one classic and two packs from Saviors of Uldum.

Many players feel that Blizzard distributes too few card packs.

Quests will be overwritten: Blizzard specifically points out that the quests for the event will overwrite other existing daily quests. So anyone who wants to avoid a loss should ensure that there is enough space in the quest log corresponding to the start of the events.

Are you excited for the new solo adventure in Hearthstone? Or do you have other things planned?

Shroud is no longer number 1 on Twitch – Shooter star now plays WoW Classic

Schuhmann 30. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek was the active streamer with the most followers on Twitch for four weeks after Ninja moved. That’s not the case anymore – Fortnite professional Tfue has replaced him as number 1. But the shooter pro seems to be indifferent, he is now playing WoW Classic.

Who is number 1 on Twitch? It is a bizarre situation. Because Tyler “Ninja” Blevins had a massive lead over the second place before his move to Mixer. But Ninja’s channel is no longer active on Twitch.

As a result, Michael “shroud” Grzesiek became the new number 1. Shroud was previously a CS:GO pro and is known for his exceptional shooter skills : Twitch clips showing shroud taking out multiple opponents with precision are often circulating online.

Shroud especially benefited from the huge hype around Apex Legends in February 2019 – but he broke his arm in a scooter accident, the hype around Apex Legends faded, and also his channel did not grow as significantly as it did in February.

However, since shroud has been active for so long and has gathered followers over the years, he was still number 1 on Twitch during the first weeks of August with 6.9 million followers.

But the new number 1 on Twitch is now Turner “Tfue” Tenney, who continues to play almost exclusively the popular Fortnite.

Tfue was able to outrun Shroud a few days ago. This had been building for some time: Tfue’s growth was significantly higher than shroud’s, who has had difficulties finding an interesting game in recent months.

Shooter pro becomes an Orc, already played 58 hours

What is shroud doing right now? To the surprise of many, shroud is currently only playing WoW Classic. The Canadian, known for his shooter skills, is currently leveling an Orc Shaman.

He says he plays WoW Classic, although he expects not to receive as many followers, subscriptions, and donations as usual. But that’s not so important to him at the moment.

He simply plays WoW Classic for himself.

In a first stream immediately after the release, shroud was online for 25 hours. Otherwise, he has hardly taken any breaks since the release of WoW Classic: he has played WoW Classic for 58.3 hours in the days since release – other Twitch streamers even sleep while streaming WoW Classic.

Interest in Shroud’s streams is not as high as it was during the peak times of Apex Legends, but an average of around 20,000 to 30,000 people still watch his streams at the same time.

The 10 most popular MMOs on Steam – currently they have the most players

Andreas Bertits 30. August 2019 Reading time 12 minutes

We would like to introduce you to the MMOs that currently have the most players on Steam. In these popular multiplayer online games, you should always be able to find players. Survival MMOs and military games dominate the list – but there are also a few surprises in the top 10 most popular MMOs on Steam.

This is how this list came about: Our list is based on the popularity of the games presented here on Steam. These are multiplayer games with MMO elements, which as of August 30, 2019, according to Steamcharts, have the most players. We relied on the player numbers from the last 30 days.

We did not include the “classic MMORPGs” such as The Elder Scrolls Online or Black Desert in this list – we will cover those in a separate list (here is the list of the most popular MMORPGs on Steam from May 2019).

Rank 10: World of Warships

Steam Hub	World of Warships on Steam
User Reviews Overall (recent)	74% (74% in the last 30 days)
Genre	Action MMO
Release on Steam	November 15, 2017
Payment Model	Free to Play

What is World of Warships? World of Warships brings the tactical team battles of World of Tanks to the sea. You command your own battleship and must try to eliminate opponents on the maps.

Each ship has different advantages and disadvantages and should be used in the team according to its tactical function. It is even possible to modify and upgrade the ships.

You attempt various scenarios, such as protecting forts, escorting supply ships, and rescuing survivors. You have access to more than 200 ships from World War I and II, including submarines.

So many players does World of Warships have on Steam: In the past 30 days, there were an average of 4,663 players online at the same time. At peak times, there were 9,346 players in the game simultaneously.

Recommended editorial content

Link to the YouTube content

This is what players think: World of Warships is generally well received among players. The balancing is right, the naval battles are enjoyable, and teamwork is important. However, many consider the premium ships to be too strong. Additionally, a lot of grinding is required to unlock free ships.

TheGiantFox says on Steam: “The game has been quite good so far. The grinding is a bit exhausting, but the gameplay mechanics are quite easy to understand.”
Desperado explains: “It used to be a fun game with exciting events and interesting activities. Now everything that the developers release turns into a huge grind fest.”

This is what MeinMMO says about World of Warships: World of Warships is aimed at everyone who has had enough of tanks, but wants to experience the tactical battles of World of Tanks at sea. Fun, although a bit grind-heavy.

Gearbox explains why they kept a secret about Borderlands 3 for 3 years

Schuhmann 30. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

About the shooter Borderlands 3 has been rumored for years, but not publicly discussed. Now Gearbox explains why they introduced Borderlands 3 so late.

Who’s speaking? Producer Chris Brock speaks with the site PCGamesN about Borderlands 3.

This was the situation: For years, Borderlands 3 was not officially announced. Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford made numerous hints that they were working on Borderlands 3, but it was never officially announced:

By 2017, it was clear that Gearbox was working on a Borderlands 3 – at that time, a tech demo was even released

Borderlands 3 appeared in Take-Two’s financial reports only as “unannounced game of one of our major franchises”.

Fans speculated multiple times in 2018 that at the next big fair, Borderlands 3 would be announced, only to be disappointed time and time again.

When Borderlands 3 was finally announced in March 2019, it was 4 years after the release of “Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel” and about half a year before release.

Announcing a game three years in advance brings nothing

This is why the announcement came so late: Brock says:

“It doesn’t feel like anything great can happen when you say: In three years we will have a game.
People can be excited, but then you disappoint them by telling them how long it still is. And if you don’t say anything for too long, it means: “Cool, so this is vaporware, we don’t believe it exists at all.”

At Gearbox, they didn’t want to show up until they were really ready.

Working until 2 days before release – and then continuing

This is what Gearbox says about the changes in the market: The way games are developed has changed, according to Brock:

“In the past, a game reached gold status and you were done. That’s no longer the case. Today, it’s like this: When a game reaches gold status, it goes into production, but it wouldn’t be a modern game without a day-one patch, so you work on the version as long as possible because everything is digital.”

When a game like Borderlands 3 comes out on September 13, you can work on it until the 11th.

And after that, it’s already about developing the content for the time after launch. That’s the expectation today.

Today, you’re actually never done with a game.
