6 Online games and MMOs in September 2019 that we recommend

Alexander Leitsch 31. August 2019 Reading time 8 minutes

At the end of August 2019, there were some major releases in the MMO sector. And September also holds many new things for you. So look forward to 6 online games and MMOs that we recommend.

On the following seven pages, we’ve compiled six online games for you that will surely provide a lot of fun in the coming weeks.

In addition, the last page also offers a small outlook, as there are some releases in September itself that you should definitely keep an eye on.

The first entry on our list is the remake of the most influential MMORPG in the West.

[toc]

World of Warcraft Classic

What is WoW Classic? The Classic version of World of Warcraft is the remake of the old MMORPG as it was released in 2004. Blizzard has made sure that the content is structured as similarly as possible to back then.

You will therefore forgo your own comfort features such as the LFG tool or the later added new classes and playable races. The game areas are also limited to the classic world again, and you will have to make compromises in graphics.

These are the highlights of WoW Classic

Anyone who engages deeply with WoW Classic knows only one true highlight: Nostalgia. Nostalgia also includes:

Slow leveling to 60
Slow respawn of monsters
The old 40-man raids like Molten Core
Significantly fewer flight points
The English names for the capitals like Stormwind or Undercity

Why should you play WoW Classic in September?

Classic targets the old fans who are not happy with the current developments of the MMORPG. It also relies on the nostalgia factor, as even players who have long since stopped playing WoW might take a look back into the old world.

Soon everyone will be able to test the biggest MP mode of CoD Modern Warfare

Sven Galitzki 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In September, all players have the chance to get their first impression of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – as part of the beta. While not much is known about the content so far, a new detail has emerged that should please many players.

This is the detail regarding the beta: In the latest podcast from GameInformer, developers from Infinity Ward discussed Modern Warfare 2019 and also answered some community questions.

Among other things, questions were asked about the largest mode of Modern Warfare so far: Ground War. Up to 100 players or even more are planned, along with the use of vehicles and technology – and it is not a Battle Royale.

What will likely please many fans: In one of their responses, the developers confirmed that Ground War will be part of the upcoming Modern Warfare beta. After experiencing the fast-paced 2vs2 battles of the Gunfight mode in the Alpha (which is coming back in the beta), players will also be able to test the largest multiplayer format of Modern Warfare 2019 in the beta.

When does the Modern Warfare beta take place? The beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be held in September. It will occur in two phases:

The first test phase runs from September 12 to 16. This phase is only accessible to PS4 players – from September 12 to 13 for players with early access and from September 14 to 16 for all interested PS4 players.
The second phase runs from September 19 to 23 and is open to players on all platforms. From September 19 to 20, only players with early access can participate. From September 21 to 23, all interested players on all platforms can join.

For more detailed information about the beta, you can find it here: Everything about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta – How to participate

What we know so far about Ground War:

Ground War is a larger variation of the Domination mode. It is a traditional multiplayer format in a new scale – not a Battle Royale like Blackout from Black Ops 4. Thus, it is the largest mode for the standard multiplayer of the entire “Call of Duty” series.
Two teams fight with handguns as well as controllable tanks, troop transports, or helicopters on a large map for control points in the form of flags that need to be captured.
The Ground War maps are larger than the regular maps. They are said to be the largest maps in the history of Call of Duty.
Currently, they are experimenting with 40-64 players. On a larger map, they have already tested 100 or more players. They are still looking for the optimal balance. The final player count will depend, among other things, on the size of the map and the number of control points.
Games will be played with the regular multiplayer loadout – that is, weapons with attachments and perks.
In this mode, players will also be able to use killstreaks like the Juggernaut.

In a way, this format almost resembles Battlefield, which is why a former manager from Battlefield already warned EA: CoD Modern Warfare will be a big competitor

In what form will Ground War be playable in the beta? The developers have not commented on this so far. In previous presentations and play sessions, the formats 20vs20 and 32vs32 have been used. Although Activision aims to allow 100 players or more in Ground War, it is uncertain whether such a scale will be tested in the beta.

What do you think about this news? Are you excited to try out this new mode? Or do you think such a large format has no appeal to Call of Duty?

Everything we already know about the 5th generation in Pokémon GO

von Noah Struthoff

When will Generation 5 be released in Pokémon GO? For a few weeks now, the first signs of the Pokémon from the Unova region can be found in the code. Niantic is working on a release: Niantic sent players this crazy hint about Gen 5 in Pokémon GO.

On September 16 at 10 PM, the first Pokémon from Gen 5 will appear in Pokémon GO. This is part of the Ultra Bonus. Niantic has already mentioned the monsters: Klikk, Nagelotz, Yorkleff. In a video, they also showed the three starters Serpifeu, Ottaro, and Floink.

It is assumed that these 6 belong to the first batch of Gen 5 in Pokémon GO. It is unlikely that the 61 found Pokémon will all be available at launch.

Solo players rejoice: Borderlands 3 offers matchmaking in the endgame

Cortyn 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Borderlands is definitely more fun in a group, and that will be the case with part 3 as well. To ensure you don’t have to play alone, there is a matchmaking system.

In just a few days, the long-awaited release of Borderlands 3 is finally here. The loot shooter from Gearbox is once again bursting with madness and plenty of activities. However, many of these should be tackled best in a group. This not only makes it more fun but is also more practical, as you can help each other in coop to defeat particularly tough enemies.

That’s why Borderlands 3 will also feature a matchmaking feature.

What was said? In a conversation with IGN readers, Christ Brock, one of the executive producers at Gearbox, revealed that Borderlands has a matchmaking system that can be sorted “by mode”. Depending on the selected endgame content, you should be able to find the right players every time. He says:

If you specifically want to find players for the trial grounds or the circle of slaughter, that’s possible.

How was it in the past? In Borderlands 2, there was no matchmaking at all. There, you had to find friends or arrange to meet each other (for example, via the Steam forums) to tackle particularly difficult quests or raids together. This should now be easier and ensure that even casual players can frequently join the endgame content of Borderlands 3 without being dependent on a fixed group.

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

von Schuhmann

Of course, Borderlands 3, like its predecessors, will be most enjoyable when played with a fixed group of friends. However, the fact that you at least have the option to team up with “randoms” should be a good solution for gaming sessions where the other friends have lazy excuses (work, family, and all that nonsense).

Will you use the matchmaking of Borderlands 3? Or do you only play the game with a fixed group of friends?

3 Things Players Report as Bugs in WoW Classic that are Actually Features

Cortyn 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Even after the release, many players still report issues in WoW Classic that are not actually issues. The list has now been expanded.

After the launch of Classic, it continues to happen that many issues are reported in World of Warcraft Classic to Blizzard that are not actually issues. These are features or intended mechanics that may appear as an “obvious bug” to newcomers (but also some veterans).

Therefore, the developers felt compelled to add three points to the official list of “issues that are not issues”.

1. Group Buffs in PvP

Untargeted group or AoE buffs do not affect group or raid members if you are flagged for PvP but your group members are not, and vice versa.

Anyone who wants to strengthen other players with an “AoE buff” must have the same PvP status as those players. This is intentional to ensure that one does not “accidentally” activate PvP and, conversely, cannot interfere in PvP fights without being affected by the PvP mode oneself. For raid groups, it is helpful if all players have the same PvP status so that buffs always affect all players.

2. Escort Quests are Buggy

It is much easier to not get quest progress in WoW Classic escort quests than in Battle for Azeroth. Keep close to your NPC allies to ensure you also receive quest progress!

Many players complain that so-called “escort quests” are buggy. These are missions where you often have to escort NPCs through difficult terrain, where they are frequently attacked by enemies.

However, these quests only count if you stay very close to the NPC you are protecting. If you take a short “mana break” and create too much distance, you will likely fail the quests.

However, there are also bugs that are actually issues. Even quite a few.

3. Monster Respawn

Monsters respawn in many areas of the game significantly faster when their population is reduced below certain values. This works correctly and matches the data from our reference client.

Frequently, players defeat an enemy and almost simultaneously that very enemy reappears. This is because enemies in Classic often respawn in “waves”. The respawn time appears to depend on how many of these enemies are dead in the vicinity. If an entire area is wiped out of Satyrs by hundreds of players, it can sometimes take just a few seconds for them all to return. This is particularly problematic for classes that need a pause after combat.

Did you know that these occurrences are part of “features” and intended mechanics? Or did you think they were bugs?

Luke Smith shows: New seasons in Destiny 2 will be significantly cooler than the old ones

Tom Rothstein 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 , game director Luke Smith talks about how cool year 2 would have been in the new year 3 style.

This is the new year 3 style: When the Shadowkeep expansion kicks off year 3 on October 1, 2019, many things are supposed to change in Destiny 2. One of the most significant innovations is the fresh season system:

Each of the 4 seasons in year 3 generates a new scenario that unfolds throughout the season and transitions into the next season. New activities will replace old seasonal activities. This is intended to provide Destiny 2 with a dynamic world where something really happens that pushes the story forward. Because in recent years, it felt like Destiny has been standing still, just adding content without really moving forward.

Game director Luke Smith now shows how we can imagine this dynamic world in year 3. He talks about how a season in year 2 could have played out if it had the year 3 style.

An alternative season of the Forge

This is how the season of the Forge played out: The first season after the Forsaken release was the season of the Forge, during which Ada-1 from the Black Armory appeared. Ada-1 gave guardians quests related to the forges and has been standing boringly in the tower for months now, hardly visited by any guardians.

This is how the season of the Forge could have played out: Luke Smith describes how the season of the Forge would have unfolded in the year 3 style:

A week before the season begins, all players would receive a message in their inbox: “I have returned from the stars. Let’s meet on December 4 at 6:15 PM. – Ada,” it would have said. A countdown would appear with the Traveler.
At this time, the Guardians gather in the tower, where a ship lands on time between Zavala and Lord Shaxx, and Ada-1 appears, walking through the tower and opening a door that had long been closed. Players follow Ada-1 until she removes her hood and greets the players: “I am Ada and we have work ahead of us.”
A season-long experience begins, where Ada and the players ignite the forges in the world, complete loot runs, and tackle the new raid.

Luke Smith makes a sly joke here: In a twist, Datto and his group manage to snag the world-first title in the raid. Because Datto failed in a horrific way.

As players work together to forge weapons and create new ones, the space where Ada stands changes. And the weapons and mods that can be obtained are not all accessible through the seasonal activity but must also be earned in new encounters in Strikes – or even in the “Last Wish” raid.
As the community goes about its tasks, new meta objectives are revealed. Once a certain number of players reach specific ranks in the season pass, cinematics are unlocked for all. In them, you see the Wanderer and Ada discussing something. The scene ends with the Wanderer raising his eyebrows as he glimpses a weapon plan behind Ada.
As the season draws to a close, the Wanderer begins to gather the players around him. He first invites the players who have obtained the Dredgen title to his new room in the tower. Guardians can now collect materials for the new heist from the Wanderer, who can’t stop talking about Ada’s weapon plan.

Late in the season, you notice that Ada is packing up her stuff and soon disappearing. The weapon plans are missing. Over the next couple of weeks, she packs up, and in an event similar to her arrival, she leaves. Ada, her goods, and the forges are gone.
Banshee-44 reminds you that Ada left him the plans for the weapons and armor and that he will be rotating them over time.
And the Wanderer now wants you to visit him. He has a surprise for you.

Luke Smith writes that the above story is just fiction. But he is working to make something like this possible for future seasons to make the season pass experience unique.

Megan Fox hopes Black Desert helps girls feel empowered

Schuhmann 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Hollywood actress Megan Fox has been hired as the spokesperson for the MMORPG Black Desert on PS4. She hopes that the MMORPG helps especially young girls to find their way in the difficult real world.

What does Megan Fox have to do with Black Desert? Apparently, the developers of Black Desert, Pearl Abyss, have enlisted Megan Fox to promote the PS4 version of the MMORPG.

A short trailer was released a week ago, showing Megan Fox driving through a desert.

According to Pearl Abyss: “Megan Fox becomes her true self as she travels through the desert.”

Afterward, Pearl Abyss promised us another full trailer, but it has not yet arrived. This big live-action trailer for Black Desert on PlayStation 4 is set to release on September 6.

Megan Fox is an actress and model – she is best known for her leading role as Mikaela Banes in the Transformers films (2007&2009). She also played April O’Neil in Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (2014&2016).

Fox believes Black Desert could have “therapeutic” effects

This is what Megan Fox says: A video has now been released in which the actress talks about Black Desert and what impact she hopes the game will have, especially on young girls.

A game like Black Desert can help teenagers recognize the good qualities within themselves that they want to enhance. Even if it’s only on the screen for now, they can bring those qualities into the real world.

It’s almost therapeutic, a way for girls to discover who they want to be and who they have always been.

In today’s times, it’s hard to be a girl. A game like Black Desert offers a way to escape the toxic world of social media. They can create a world where they feel comfortable and powerful.

Through the MMORPG, one can visualize what their life could be like. It’s almost like a powerful form of meditation.

What are the reactions? The reactions to both videos are, to say the least, “stunned” and somewhat mocking:

One says “Oh yes, it’s very therapeutic to be taken down by an overpowered player.”
Another asks: “What the heck is this? This has nothing to do with Black Desert Online?”

Borderlands 3: The new Mayhem mode is set to offer an exciting endgame experience

Sven Galitzki 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

More and more details about the endgame of Borderlands 3 are being released. Gearbox Software has now introduced the new Mayhem mode, which is supposed to enrich the endgame with randomness and more challenge. Here’s what’s in it.

Story completed – what’s next? Even after you have traveled the galaxy, eliminated countless enemies, and completed the story of Borderlands 3, there should still be plenty for the Vault Hunters to do – specifically in the endgame. The hunt for the best loot really starts there.

Part of the endgame will include

the True Vault Hunter Mode, essentially a kind of New Game Plus
as well as the Guardian Ranks, a revised Badass Rank system that was already used in Borderlands 2

among other things, the new Mayhem mode. What this has to offer, you can read here.

What’s in the Mayhem mode of Borderlands 3

What is Mayhem all about? This mode is supposed to provide more variety and a greater challenge in the endgame with random elements and different difficulty levels.

How and when can you play Mayhem? Once you have completed the story of Borderlands 3, you will be able to activate a mysterious terminal aboard Sanctuary III. This will allow you to start this new mode.

What makes Mayhem unique:

When you activate Mayhem through the terminal, you have three difficulty levels to choose from – Tier 1 to 3
The higher the level, the greater the risks: enemies will have more health, stronger shields, and armor.
The higher the Mayhem tier, the better the rewards: you will receive bonus cash, Eridium, additional XP, and have the chance for better loot
Mayhem also activates various random modifiers on all planets you visit. For instance, with Savage, enemies deal more weapon damage. With Wizard, your normal bullets deal less damage, while your elemental damage increases. This forces you to rethink, use new strategies, and adopt a dynamic play style.
The active mods will be displayed on the map view
Some mods will only activate at Tier 2 or 3 and will make your life hell there

What you should consider with Mayhem: It is recommended to start Mayhem on Tier 1 and equip yourself with better gear before trying a harder difficulty level. If you jump straight to Tier 3 at the beginning, it’s essentially a certain death sentence. Mayhem offers more Bad Asses and tougher enemies. In short: everything gets significantly harder. However, this is offset by better gear that can buff your skills – even class-specific ones.

The MeinMMO readers’ thoughts on World of Warcraft Classic after launch

Cortyn 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

We asked for your first impression of WoW Classic and you responded. The result is clear.

A few days ago, we wanted to know how your first impression of WoW Classic is. After all, the first impression is often crucial to whether one continues to follow a game or quickly sets it aside in frustration. Many of you participated in the survey, allowing us to present the results here.

WoW Classic is extremely popular

At least our survey speaks a clear language: WoW Classic is extremely popular among our readers.

30% are completely enthusiastic and find WoW Classic much better than expected.
31% are less euphoric but are having a lot of fun.

Dera n0x describes it this way:

I am absolutely thrilled by how lively the general chat is, how helpful people are to each other (buffing, healing, or helping with quests). This sense of community is something I’ve always missed in Retail WoW. I am looking forward to the many hours I will spend in Classic 🙂

Even many retail fans must admit that they like Classic.

There are only a few negative voices: The few negative voices in the survey are completely overshadowed. Only 8% of participants assessed WoW Classic as “negative” or “somewhat negative,” because:

4% believe that many things are bothering in WoW Classic
4% find WoW Classic terrible. They are having no fun at all.

Every fifth player is still undecided: However, there is still a large part of players who have not yet made a decision. The reasons for this vary. Some want to hold off on making a decision so early, while others are unable to play due to long queues preventing them from doing so.

For example, mordran says:

At the moment it’s more World of Waitcraft than anything else, to put it mildly, Blizzard has not exactly shone. But overall, aside from the queues and the ridiculous discussion about the LFG addon, it’s fun. The experience with people forming groups, helping each other, etc., has been consistently positive so far, and I hope it stays that way.

By the way: In a few weeks, we will repeat the survey and see if the motivation and joy in WoW Classic can withstand the long-term test. Let’s see if the numbers point in a different direction or if even more players feel drawn to Classic.

Would you have thought that WoW Classic would be received so positively? Or did you think that Classic would scare away more people from the start?

More on the topic

Okay, I admit it: WoW Classic is pretty awesome

Star Citizen postpones Beta for Squadron 42 again – Says it’s a good thing

Schuhmann 31. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The great space simulation Star Citizen has announced a delay. The beta for the single-player part “Squadron 42” has been delayed by 3 months. It is said that the delay is a necessary and good step. They are internally adjusting the development model a bit.

What is Star Citizen changing right now? The developers have issued a blog post saying they are adjusting the development a bit (Via robertsspaceindustries). They call it “Staggered Development”.

In short: The work cycles of the teams are to be longer. They are now to work longer on larger features instead of shorter on smaller ones.

Essentially, the individual teams are shifting from a 3-month cycle to a 6-month cycle.

Better patches need a little more time

This is the impact: Quarterly updates are to continue, but with better quality and fewer bugs.

However, this adjustment now leads to a delay, meaning the next patch will likely be “lighter”; the subsequent updates should be just as full as previous patches, just more polished.

More on the topic

Star Citizen: Singleplayer component is supposed to start in beta in 2020 – This time really

von Andreas Bertits

Beta for Squadron 42 comes 12 weeks later

What about the roadmap? On August 30, as part of this adjustment, the Star Citizen roadmap was updated (via robertsspaceindustrie/Roadmap).

It is noticeable that the release of the beta for “Squadron 42” has disappeared from the second quarter of 2020. Squadron 42 is the single-player module featuring many high-profile actors.

CIG states that they have moved the beta start by 12 weeks – so the beta would then be in the third quarter of 2020.

This is actually good for development, because Star Citizen and Squadron 42 share a common codebase. Overall, they expect “good effects” on Squadron 42.

Some fans are losing patience – others are not

How are the players reacting? As always with Star Citizen, it’s not so easy to say; opinions are divided, with negative voices predominating on reddit and in the official forum this time.

The critical voices say:

The explanation would be “cosmetic” to paint the repeated delays in development in a positive light.
It was clear that Star Citizen could not adhere to its actual roadmap and needed another delay.
the beta of Squadron 42 will surely be delayed even longer than 3 months at the current pace.

Other players, however, are discussing the new roadmap and looking forward to changes and improvements in the upcoming patches.

Squadron 42 has already been delayed many times; it was thought that this time the plan would be set:

GTA Online: Get 102,000 GTA dollars in 2 minutes – Time Trial

Patrick Freese 31. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In GTA Online the time trial “Sawmill” is active and rewards you with 102,000 GTA Dollars. We will show you how to win the race and easily earn a lot of money.

How to win the money? You can find the time trial on the map in GTA Online. You don’t have to start any game mode for this, just drive to the starting point at the purple stopwatch.

The time for this race is tight, and you can’t afford accidents. You need to drive an ideal route. Only then will you secure the win.

Which race is active? Currently, the time trial “Sawmill” is running in GTA Online. You have 2:15 minutes to reach the finish line. If you make it on time, you will get 102,000 GTA Dollars.

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:

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.

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…

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.
