TV channel cancels Apex Legends – players criticize the reasoning

The online shooter Apex Legends was supposed to have a major appearance on the sports channel ESPN this coming Sunday. However, due to the recent shootings in the USA and likely because of the statement from President Trump, that will not happen now.

What was planned? The major US sports channel ESPN had planned a 2-hour special on eSports for Sunday, August 11th. It was supposed to be a highlight show of the tournament “EXP Invitational APEX Legends at X Games”.

The tournament itself already took place from August 2nd to 3rd in Minneapolis at the X Games. The show on ESPN was meant to emphasize the highlights and best moments, and likely also bring eSports closer to the mainstream.

But now it has been announced that the show will not take place. Instead, there will be a documentary about hockey at the same broadcast time.

Shooting ruins eSports show

Why won’t the tournament be shown anymore? According to a tweet from eSports specialist Rod “Slasher” Breslau, the recent shootings in the USA are the reason for the cancellation of the show.

“Out of respect for the victims and all those affected by the recent shootings, ABC [the media group behind ESPN] will no longer broadcast “EXP Invitational APEX Legends at X Games” on Sunday, August 11th.”

According to Rod Breslau, however, the show might still be seen later on the channel ESPN3. Additionally, the show is already available on the network’s YouTube channel; only the public TV broadcast is affected.

The cancellation of the eSports event was, by the way, already dated for August 6th, just 2 days after the last shooting in Dayton.

Fans criticize the channel’s decision

What could be the reasons for the cancellation? The channel’s decision not to show games with violent content fits well with the general discussion currently taking place in the USA. Because conservative politicians along with President Trump currently believe that violent video games could lead to shootings.

apex legends octane celebrates title

This statement from the president has already led to declining stock prices for major publishers. It is quite possible that the media group ABC has preemptively removed all games with violent content from the schedule to avoid being at the center of criticism.

 How does the community react? Many users do not understand the channel’s actions and express their opinions on Twitter and Reddit:

  • “Enough respect for the victims to cancel an event, but not enough respect to really ban weapons and save people!”
  • “What a ridiculous decision that has nothing to do with respect!”
  • “This is really sad, I can hardly believe you equate these shootings with video games. You’re just punishing yourselves and making fools of yourselves!”
  • “Out of respect for the victims? More like, because our president decided by chance that games have something to do with shootings.”
  • “Many lives will probably be saved because ABC is not broadcasting this show on Sunday.”
  • “Holy shit, there is zero evidence to support such dumb claims!”

However, there is also understanding for the decision:

“An Apex tournament would essentially be constant shooting and killing and not much more. That’s what the game is about. TV channels have often made such decisions after shootings. The Punisher was also postponed by 2 weeks because of the Vegas shooting.”

What is your opinion on the action? Should one refrain from depicting violence in games on TV following horrific acts of violence?

The Division 2: These are the best armor talents for your skill builds

In The Division 2, we present the best armor talents that are particularly recommended for skill builds and hybrid builds after Title Update 5.

For which builds are the talents suitable? In The Division 2, you have many options to build unique builds. Skill builds were long considered useless, but with the recent Title Update 5, they have finally become really good options.

YouTuber LtBuzzLitebeer has analyzed all talents in The Division 2 and has pointed out which ones are currently particularly suitable for the powerful skill builds. However, these are not only good for skill builds; you can also apply them for your hybrid builds. Below the video, we present the best armor talents that you should loot or craft, in German:

Destructive (Destructive) – The best passive utility talent

This is what the talent “Destructive” does: You gain +20% explosion damage.

This makes the talent so strong: Destructive is currently one of the best talents for skill builds. Especially for this bombastic drone build. With it, you can significantly increase the explosion damage your skills deal.

Destructive can be found in all 6 armor slots. And if you equip 6x Destructive, you will blast away all enemies.

More good passive utility talents:

  • Capacitive: This talent gives +20% skill duration. However, the bonus is relatively low, which is why you should increase skill duration with mods instead.
  • Empowered: This talent gives +10% skill strength. However, you better increase this bonus with armor attributes.
division-2-agenten-drohne

Calculated (Calculated) – A strong, active utility talent

This is what the talent “Calculated” does: Kills from cover reduce the active cooldown of skills by 10%.

This makes the talent so strong: In The Division 2, you should spend most of your time in cover. And since you only need to achieve kills from cover for the talent bonus, Calculated constantly ensures that you can use your skills more often.

More good active utility talents:

  • Deceptive Death: Status effects spread to the next enemy within 10m. Can occur once every 15 seconds. If you have a build that relies on status effects like burns, this is a useful talent.
  • Talented: With kills using skills, there is a 25% chance to reset active skill cooldowns. This is a really good talent that, while not reliable (only 25%), can decide between life and death in practice.
  • Technical Assistance: Kills through active skills grant +25% skill damage for 10 seconds. A must-have talent for skill builds.
  • Terminator: Destroying an enemy’s armor grants +35% skill damage for 15 seconds. This is the best talent to increase skill damage. However, it is only useful in certain situations.

von Sven Galitzki

More exciting talents for specific situations

These talents are worth considering:

  • Compensated: Weapon damage is increased by 15% when critical hit chance is below 20%. If you primarily build around skills and not at all on crits, you can still deal solid weapon damage with this talent.
  • On the Ropes: Weapon damage increases by 25% when all skills are on cooldown. Activate all your skills that already deal good damage, and then take advantage of this talent by having increased weapon damage on top of that. This way you bridge the time until you can use the skills again.
  • Impact Charge: Destroying an enemy skill helper grants +50% explosion damage for 15 seconds. If you have skills that deal explosion damage, this is a good talent that significantly increases damage. It can only be found on chest pieces.
  • Explorer: +20% weapon damage to enemies marked by the pulse. +20% is a substantial boost. Additionally, your teammates also benefit as they deal more damage from the pulse generator. This talent can only be found on masks.
  • Malicious: +10% weapon damage to enemies affected by status effects. If you use skills that inflict status effects, you have a good talent with Malicious.

In the new tactical shooter Caliber, older players should also make an impact

Wargaming, the creators of World of Tanks, are planning a new game called Caliber. It is set to be a tactical shooter that emphasizes teamwork and planning. This makes it particularly interesting for older players.

What is Caliber? Wargaming is mainly known for its tank epic World of Tanks. However, the Belarusians are currently planning, together with 1C Game Studios, the next military game: the shooter Caliber.

This time it is not about heavy tanks, warships, or airplanes. Instead, you will be operating as a member of a military special unit, fighting in PvE and PvP.

What makes Caliber special? As a major unique selling point, Caliber aims to focus on tactical combat and teamwork. It should not be the player with the best reflexes who wins, but rather the team that proceeds thoughtfully and tactically. Four players should act together as a team.

This also involves making optimal use of the chosen class. The options are to be Assault Soldier, Support, Medic, and Sniper. Caliber fully embraces realism, featuring authentic weapons and uniforms from real special units, such as the German KSK, the US Navy SEALs, or the Polish GROM.

caliber-screenshot-01

Through the focus on teamwork and less on quick reflexes, as well as the serious, realistic look, Caliber aims to attract primarily older shooter fans who are less interested in fast, frantic action like in Fortnite or Call of Duty.

Caliber will be available for free as a free-to-play game for PC. After extensive testing in Russia, you can try it out for the first time at Gamescom 2019 starting August 20, 2019.

Finally, there is a new MMORPG on Steam – What do the first reviews say?

On August 6, the MMORPG Legends of Aria was released in Early Access on Steam. We took a look at the first reactions and will tell you what the game does well and where its weaknesses lie.

What is Legends of Aria? Legends of Aria is a sandbox MMORPG where you have to set your own goals to enjoy the game world.

Your character has no class; instead, you improve it by leveling skills. You can also avoid combat and pursue your path as a merchant or craftsman.

Legends of Aria Steam Release

Originally, the MMORPG was known as Shards Online and relied on community-created servers. Players were supposed to set their own rules and modify stories and quests.

This system is still present in Legends of Aria, although the developers have created their own world in which you can let loose.

5 Things You Must Know Before the Launch of the New MMORPG Legends of Aria
von Andreas Bertits

How is Legends of Aria rated on Steam? Currently, the reviews for the MMORPG are very balanced. 55% of the 125 ratings are positive.

However, the number is still low, and many reviews are based on experiences players have had outside of Steam. The game has been playable for supporters who invested money earlier for a significantly longer time.

Is Legends of Aria an Ultima Online 2.0?

How is Legends of Aria structured? In the reviews, the comparison to Ultima Online is often drawn. The reason for this is the many freedoms and the sandbox aspect.

  • CUFreeze: “As a former UO player, the game is really super. It’s like turning back time – just paired with more modern graphics.”
  • Deathsummer: “The game is a mix of Runescape and Ultima Online.”
  • User Sanitarium666 highlights the crafting system and housing. However, he also warns players that they will hardly be guided and have to set their goals entirely on their own.
  • Player Kugelfang goes even further and points out that the game also involves grind. While necessary, he believes it doesn’t result in significant time pressure or stress.
  • The fact that the entry can be really tough is also confirmed by the review from Werfgun. He finds the game too difficult and is also unhappy with the graphic style. The game already seems old to him and thus doesn’t make a good impression.

The highlight is the mods

What do the positive reviews highlight particularly? Besides the many freedoms in the sandbox game, the community servers and the associated mods are especially praised.

As user Stimwalt writes:

Most people who rate the game have no idea that it is actually a platform game. Community modders can create their own world within the Legends of Aria engine. Their games can be completely different from the official LoA. […]

And there are already servers [..] that use the original ruleset and gameplay from Ultima Online. Players just have to go to the community tab after logging in and select “Legends of Ultima.”

This opinion is shared by many other users. Felty256 even goes so far as to try to make Legends of Aria an RTS game with his own creatures.

von Andreas Bertits

What about PvP? In the positive reviews, much is also discussed about the latest changes to PvP. The developers have declared many mid-game areas in the official Legends of Aria as safe zones with consensual PvP.

Some players appreciate this change, who would rather focus on crafting. They do not understand why one must attack and even kill weaker players.

Others criticize this and at the same time accuse the developers of being aimless.

Developers give a clueless impression

Where is Legends of Aria headed? Many players wonder what the actual goal of the MMORPG is. Originally, only community servers were planned, but now Legends of Aria offers its own world.

This world initially resembled Ultima Online quite a bit, but many recent changes are moving the game in a different direction. The reduction of open-world PvP is seen by many as a dagger in the back of the game’s original concept.

User IDiivil writes:

The developers have no real vision for the game. Their plans are based on aimless feedback implemented in the worst form.

The Archery Tamer was too strong a build and the developers weakened it so much that it became useless due to movement delays, halved damage, and missing skills.

This happened not only with that build but with every other system in the game.

Janus10 describes Legends of Aria as a game where he cannot explain why it does not feel good for him. All areas are unfinished, and it lacks a sense of reward. In his view, the game could still develop positively in the future.

Legends of Aria Steam Treasure Hunting

Some backers are particularly disappointed

Why are LoA backers disappointed? Some players invested a lot of money in Legends of Aria beforehand. While you currently only have to pay 16.49 euros for the Early Access on Steam, some of them spent 100 dollars or more.

For this, they were also promised special items and benefits that are still not in the game today. Backers were supposed to have a head start that was reset with a rollback.

Also, the delay of the Steam release, which was originally planned for December 4, 2018, still lingers for some.

Legends of Aria Steam Dragon

What about the performance of LoA? With new games in Early Access, performance is always closely scrutinized. This seems to not be a complete disaster for Legends of Aria, but users complain they cannot get beyond 15 or 20 FPS.

What has been your experience with Legends of Aria so far? Have you ever visited a community server yourself?

Destiny 2: Cross-Save has a date, coming this month

Alongside the Shadowkeep expansion, numerous fans are already looking forward to the new Cross-Save feature of Destiny 2. Now Bungie has finally revealed when it will officially launch. You won’t have to wait long for it.

When does Cross-Save start for Destiny 2? Originally, Cross-Save was supposed to launch in the fall. However, Bungie has expedited this feature and finally announced a concrete launch date.

Guardians who switch to another platform or want to play on multiple platforms have been able to use Cross-Save since August 21.

We have a complete guide on how to use Cross-Save for you here.

destiny-2-shadowkeep-waffe

What is Cross-Save and how does it work? With Cross-Save, it will soon be possible to share a save file across different platforms on which you play Destiny 2. The principle is simple:

  • You link your accounts with the Bungie account.
  • Next, you select a main account or save with the characters you want to play.
  • This progress/save will be shared and available on all other platforms on which you play Destiny 2.
  • This will finally make it possible to unify your adventures across multiple platforms. You will then carry your gear, weapons, and loot to other platforms. What you earn on one platform can be used everywhere – no matter where you play.

What you should note about Cross-Save: Free content like Destiny 2: New Light can be used across platforms through Cross-Save without hurdles.

However, paid content such as the Destiny 2 expansions Forsaken or Shadowkeep will also need to be purchased on a new or different platform – even if you already own them on another platform. This is the only way you can access the contents of the expansions there as well.

Cross-Save will save all your gear, your characters, and your items across all platforms – regardless of which expansion you own.

However, there is no way to merge accounts, silver (real money currency), characters, or progress from multiple accounts. The characters, items, triumphs, etc., correspond to your selected save. Characters from other saves cannot be used with everything that belongs to them as long as Cross-Save is active.

Additionally, Cross-Save should not be confused with Cross-Play. Players on Google Stadia, PC, PS4, and Xbox One will not be able to play together. The player searches are still separated for the individual platforms.

What to expect until the release of Shadowkeep: What to expect in and out of Destiny 2 until the release of the big fall expansion, find out here:

Are you looking forward to the Cross-Save feature and will you use it? Or are you not interested at all and will remain loyal to your current platform?

Call of Duty 2020 is said to be even dirtier and more brutal than Modern Warfare

A new leak about Call of Duty 2020 has come to light. It says that it is supposed to be a reboot of Black Ops and even more brutal than Modern Warfare.

Where does the leak come from? This comes from “LongSensation”. He is known for numerous leaks around Call of Duty. For instance, he also revealed the name of Modern Warfare.

Now the leaker is also commenting on the next Call of Duty, which surprisingly is supposed to be released in 2020. This aligns with the report from Kotaku, which previously reported on the new installment in May.

Reboot of Black Ops in the Cold War

This is what the leak says: On Twitter, LongSensation writes that the new Call of Duty currently has two names:

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops V
https://twitter.com/LongSensationYT/status/1159077570912096261

This part is supposed to be a reboot of the Black Ops series. This would be just like Modern Warfare, which is coming out this October. This too is a reboot.

According to the leak, the story is supposed to cover the entire years around the wars in Korea and Vietnam. You will dive into multiple regions and not just one, according to the leaker.

Furthermore, this part is supposed to be even more gruesome than Modern Warfare, which is already depicted as brutally realistic. The wars it addresses would fit, as these were considered particularly horrible.

How credible is the leak? In the end, this is a leak and not official information from the developers. Nevertheless, the leaker has often been correct and enjoys a high reputation among many fans.

LongSensation has claimed that the new Modern Warfare is probably going to be the most controversial game in the series. So far he seems to be right based on early findings, as the developers address many horrible aspects of warfare here.

Especially exciting will be the even more brutal depiction. After all, testers are said to have cried at Modern Warfare from sheer horror. How a possible Black Ops installment can top this remains to be seen.

The leaker has now also commented on Battle Royale in Modern Warfare:

Player numbers trends in Hearthstone, WoW and Overwatch 2019

Activision Blizzard, the major publisher, has announced its quarterly results for the second quarter of 2019. How have player numbers for Blizzard’s games Hearthstone and Overwatch developed? And what is the status of subscriptions in the MMORPG World of Warcraft?

Activision Blizzard has announced its quarterly results for the second quarter of 2019. There are also some insights into player numbers for Blizzard’s big games. Activision Blizzard is announcing trends here.

What is the general situation? Things are not going super well for Activision Blizzard right now. After the announcement of the numbers for the quarter from April to June 30, 2019, the stock price fell by 3%.

Activision Blizzard had 1.4 billion dollars in revenue, which is slightly less than the 1.64 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2018.

For the third quarter of 2019, Activision Blizzard is providing an estimate that is below what Wall Street expects. Therefore, the stock price is struggling – the situation on the stock market is already difficult due to Trump’s warning about violent video games.

Their rise was the highlight in WoW last quarter.

Blizzard stable in monthly active users

What are the player numbers? Blizzard had 32 million active users in the quarter. That’s the same as the last quarter.

It is said that players spent more time on Blizzard games per day compared to 2018.

Monthly active users are players who have logged in at least once a month. Activision Blizzard then adds the users over the three months and divides by three to get this value for the quarter.

Hearthstone Rise of Shadows Rafaam title

Hearthstone wins – WoW and Overwatch stable

This is how Hearthstone is doing: The player count for Hearthstone has increased compared to the last quarter. This is due to the expansion “Rise of Shadows” and the single-player adventure “The Dalaran Heist.”

Activision Blizzard further states that revenue has increased.

This is how Overwatch is doing: Here, the player count has remained “relatively” the same. Activity increased after the release of the workshop.

Activision Blizzard highlights the Overwatch League. Here, the hours watched have increased compared to 2018. Over the season, the audience and the minutes each person watches on average have increased by double digits percentage-wise.

WoW Classic and Azshara bring more subscriptions

What about subscriptions for WoW? It is reported that the number of subscribers for WoW has increased since mid-May, after the release date and beta for World of Warcraft Classic were announced and the content update “Rise of Azshara” was released.

Activision Blizzard has not provided specific subscription numbers for WoW in some time.

Because the numbers for Hearthstone, WoW, and Overwatch increased or remained the same, while the number of monthly active users stayed constant, it is assumed that titles like Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 have lost some players. However, Activision Blizzard does not provide details here.

No new games are coming right now

This is what’s behind it: Activision Blizzard is currently in a difficult situation. Already in February, Activision Blizzard caused a stir, when they laid off 800 people after a strong quarter.

Currently, too few new games are being released. For 2019, Activision Blizzard has little major aside from the annual Call of Duty in the pipeline.

They are now repeatedly saying that they are working to develop more new brands and games and therefore expanding the teams. But this all takes time.

Diablo Immortal Screen 3
Diablo Immortal seems somewhat lost.

Waiting for Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4

This is the new announcement: CEO Bobby Kotick has now stated that Activision Blizzard has prioritized investments in key franchises in the first half of 2019. In the second half of the year, players might see the first results of these investments.

What’s next? Based on rumors, it is assumed that this year at BlizzCon 2019, two new Blizzard games, Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, will be presented. When they will come is still up in the air.

There has also been little news about Diablo Immortal lately.

In the investors’ call, Activision Blizzard also announced that new brands are being developed across various business areas, including at Blizzard:

In the next patch of Fallout 76, you can finally show off your finds

In Fallout 76, Patch 12 is on the way. Bethesda gives you a first look and especially makes the show-offs happy, as you can now display your finds.

This feature is coming: Patch 12 will bring display cases for your C.A.M.P. There you can showcase any finds you’ve accumulated over the months.

This will please many fans, as you can now flaunt particularly rare items and showcase them for your friends in Appalachia.

You can set up to 30 cases and showcase everything from weapons to comics. In your stash, you can simply select the desired item and assign it to a display case.

However, some players are concerned about this new feature. They think it’s cool to showcase special items, but they are worried about their inventory space. After all, it’s limited, and the items in the display cases could take up unnecessary space.

What else is included in Patch 12

Here’s what is being remodeled: The Charleston Capitol is getting a new look. As Bethesda announces, they have revised the floor plan of the building to better fit the story.

Capitol

The quest line “Keys to the Past” is supposed to play out even more excitingly. Additionally, you can adjust the difficulty level in the building twice. The main area of the Capitol buildings and the courthouse wing can now have different difficulties.

Finally carrying more caps: The wealthy players among you will be pleased: The upper limit of 25,000 caps is set to be increased to 30,000 caps with Patch 12.

This should make saving for expensive items easier and comes at the right time, as a lot of caps can be earned with the vending machines from Patch 9.

Title image Fallout vending machines

Changes in Nuclear Winter: The battle royale mode of Fallout 76 will also receive some adjustments. These are mainly balancing adjustments that aim to make weapons stronger or weaker.

Additionally, there will be the “Quick Stairs” kit in Nuclear Winter. This allows you to quickly ascend steep buildings.

When will Patch 12 be released? Bethesda indicates the approximate timeframe as the end of the month. So we still have to wait a bit until we can finally show off our finds.

Blizzard wants to lure you back to more WoW with a free level boost

In World of Warcraft there are currently free character boosts to level 100. At least if you meet a few requirements.

Those who have been away from World of Warcraft for a few months or years may face some barriers in the game. Perhaps the characters are too low-level or one has played a class that is no longer fun at all. To make returning to World of Warcraft a bit easier, Blizzard is currently giving away plenty of character boosts to level 100.

Who is the boost for? It is still not entirely clear which players are being offered the gift. According to the statements of some players, the account has been inactive on average for 2 years. Those who have not maintained a subscription for that long should check to see if they have received a boost. By the way, this can be redeemed until the end of October.

WoW Goblin Levelboost Rocket

How to redeem the boost? Redeeming the boost is quite simple through the Battle.net launcher. There you will find an extra button for “Gifts” that also suspiciously blinks if you have received one. Select the boost there and click “Redeem” so you can use the boost in the game afterwards.

Why does the boost only go up to level 100? Some players wonder why the character boost only goes to level 100 and not up to 110, as the current boost in the shop offers. This can only be speculated upon.

The most likely reason is that Blizzard wants to try to attract some former players back to the current World of Warcraft with the release of WoW Classic. With a boost to level 100, players could directly enter the areas of Legion and experience interesting content for 10 levels. If the boost went to level 110, players would first have to buy “Battle for Azeroth” to have something to do with it.

WoW Charakter Boost

This way, players have the opportunity to test the current game for a few levels and only then decide on a purchase.

Will you use the boost? Or have you not received this gift? Do you think it’s good how Blizzard wants to bring players back?

Leak says: CoD Modern Warfare will indeed have Battle Royale – Even Free2Play

If a new leak is to be believed, then Call of Duty: Modern Warfare might indeed receive a battle royale mode. This is supposed to be free-to-play, but will not launch with the game.

Where do the information come from? The latest leak regarding the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare comes from YouTuber LongSensation. He has correctly predicted several leaks about this year’s “Call of Duty” installment in the past. Among other things, he was the first to leak the final name of the new Modern Warfare.

Nonetheless: These are unofficially confirmed details. Therefore, take them with a grain of caution.

What is the current official status regarding battle royale in Modern Warfare? Although the developers at Infinity Ward have not categorically ruled out a possible battle royale, currently such a mode is not the topic.

They are focusing firmly on the traditional multiplayer. Therefore, there are currently numerous discussions and speculations about whether Modern Warfare will get a battle royale or not.

Modern Warfare MP2 (1)

What does the leak reveal? The new alleged details revolve around a battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

There are 2 central pieces of information:

  • Modern Warfare 2019 will receive a battle royale mode, but not directly at launch. It is supposed to be added early in 2020.
  • According to the leak, the battle royale of Modern Warfare will be free-to-play. Moreover, it should be available for download as a standalone game. However, it will be linked to the base game.
https://twitter.com/LongSensationYT/status/1159067410344882176

What does this mean for players? If this information turns out to be true, it would be a big step towards the players.

Battle royale was introduced in Call of Duty with Black Ops 4 in the form of Blackout, but is tied to the main game. So anyone who wanted to play battle royale in Call of Duty had to buy Black Ops 4.

If battle royale were now decoupled from the main game, many more players could try out this mode and fill the servers. Because the blackout mode from Black Ops 4 is popular among players. However, many interested players or pure battle royale enthusiasts have been deterred by the fact that blackout was only available in connection with the paid game. But this might change with the next installment of the series.

Modern-Warfare-Sniper-1-1140x445

These details were recently officially revealed: Although there is no further official information about a possible battle royale, the developers have released several other interesting details in the past few days:

What would you think of a battle royale in Modern Warfare 2019? Especially if it were free-to-play and a standalone mode?

ARK Survival Evolved is getting a new, big expansion: Genesis – Instead of ARK 2

In ARK Survival Evolved (PC, PS4, Xbox One), it was thought that no more expansions would come and that the developers were already working on ARK 2. But now Studio Wildcard has introduced the ARK Genesis expansion. It is set to be released in two parts: the release of the first part of Genesis is in December 2019. The new features and creatures sound exciting.

Update January 23, 2020: The first part of the DLC Genesis has been postponed. The release is now on February 25, 2020. Part 2 is now planned for Winter 2020.

This is the situation: It was originally thought that the survival MMO ARK Survival Evolved would only receive two expansions after its release in August 2017:

  • In December 2017, Aberration was released, featuring the underground.
  • In November 2018, Extinction came out, an apocalyptic DLC.

It was known that the developers were already considering the idea of “ARK 2” and their new MMO Atlas was already running. In 2019, things became relatively quiet around ARK Survival Evolved.

But the developers now say: ARK is doing so well and is consistently in the top 10 on Steam. Therefore, they are allowing the title a longer lifespan than initially intended.

ARK Genesis Releases in 2019 and 2020

This is now the surprise: The studio has announced that they will bring a 3rd expansion for ARK Survival Evolved after all. On a teaser page, fans deciphered the message, “This is not Ark 2,” and then the announcement came:

  • The first half of Genesis will be released in December 2019.
  • The second half will come in the second half of 2020.

There is even already an announcement trailer for ARK: Genesis live.

New Map, Creatures, and a Talking Helper

What’s new? ARK Genesis brings:

  • A new map with volcanic regions. There is also supposed to be a “crazy snow mountain” biome.
  • A new story.
  • New creatures.
  • And the first character in ARK that can speak, HLN-A (Human Learning Neural Aid), an AI.
ARK-Survival-Genesis

New Floating Base

What is already known about the creatures: Three creatures are known to come with Genesis.

  • On the giant turtle, you can build a fortress. The turtle can swim in the water and even dive with the base. Resources will grow on the turtle’s back.
  • Then there is a pet that looks cute but transforms into a giant monster when it comes into contact with “Element”.
  • And a giant volcanic lizard can be seen.

It looks like ARK 2 is indeed further away than previously thought, and at least we will still have ARK Survival Evolved until 2020.

LoL: Twitch clip shows the probably most unfair way to lose a match

A player in LoL (League of Legends) shows how he lost a game in a special way. An invisible “Ninja-ghoul” single-handedly destroyed the Nexus and surprised everyone.

This game is being discussed: On Reddit, player Drumingrl shared the result of a LoL match. It ended surprisingly for her and her team, as an apparently invisible minion alone devoured the Nexus. This went unnoticed during the game, and suddenly the team lost. It was only in the replay that it became clear what actually happened.

A special interaction between the champions Mordekaiser and Yorick caused Yorick’s summoned ghouls to apparently become invisible.

In the comments, there is a lot of schadenfreude. Drumingrl shared both perspectives: what the losers saw and what actually happened.

This is what the losers see:

How did this problem arise? Mordekaiser cast his ultimate ability on the opposing Yorick. Both players are dragged into a “death realm,” another dimension. For the teams, both characters are temporarily invisible during the ultimate. Just before leaving the dimension, Yorick used his ultimate ability and summoned a spirit (the Mistress of the Mist) that can bring ghouls (Mistwalkers) back to life.

After the ultimate ended, the spirit apparently remained invisible due to a bug and continued to summon ghouls. Both the spirit and the ghouls were invisible to both teams. These ghouls then attacked Drumingrl’s team’s base.

Yorick and the summoned ghouls

In the video, a player from Drumingrl’s team asks, “Why are the inhibitors still being destroyed?” Another replies, “No idea, that’s bullshit.”

One of the ghouls slipped through and single-handedly destroyed the Nexus. While the defending team focused on the middle lane and had no idea that their base was being secretly destroyed. Suddenly, the game was over.

This is how players react: On Reddit , this clip is particularly popular. Many people make jokes and say, “Yorick is probably the counter to Mordekaiser.” Another player writes, “LMAO, that’s tragic.”

The Yorick player from the shown encounter also took to Reddit and commented in the thread. He stated that he wanted to try what would happen if he used Yorick’s ultimate just before the end of Mordekaiser’s ultimate. Other users noted that many abilities are bugged when used towards the end of Mordekaiser’s death realm.

In the horror game Man of Medan, you can kill your friends in co-op

Man of Medan is coming out this month. In the trailer, the developers show how the decisions of you and your friends affect each other in co-op and how the Shared Story works.

What is Man of Medan? Supermassive Games is releasing the survival horror game “Man of Medan” at the end of August. Just like in Until Dawn, it will be scary. The story reveals that 5 friends are going on a diving trip and then encounter problems.

The protagonists in Man of Medan

An adventure begins for you that you can play together with friends in co-op. In the Shared Story, you experience everything that there is in single-player mode with a partner. In Movie Night mode, you play Man of Medan like a movie night with up to 5 participants.

This is shown in the new video: In the new developer video, the team explains how the Shared Story will unfold.

The players take on the roles of 2 people from the group. Each makes decisions for their respective character.

You can be spatially separated. While one player is diving, the other can chat with NPCs on the boat. Thus, both players simultaneously experience a completely different perspective of the story. Nevertheless, the players’ decisions impact the course of the story. Both can significantly change it.

Will Man of Medan be better than Until Dawn? These 4 points speak for it.

You can hurt your friends: The decisions you or your co-op partner make can either have little or significant consequences. It’s possible that you make a choice that harms your friend, and he might even die.

In Man of Medan, all playable characters can live or die. The fate of the individuals is entirely in your hands. You decide who gets saved.

On August 30, Man of Medan will be released on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One. We have already played the game and share our impressions of the horror survival here:

GTA Online can’t control the new money glitch – players make millions

In GTA Online there are glitches in horse racing that can bring players millions of GTA dollars in a short time. With these cheats, players fill their pockets, even though Rockstar actually fixed the issue.

This is the situation: On July 23, the casino opened in GTA Online. There are plenty of gambling options available: A lucky wheel, slot machines, blackjack, poker, and even virtual horse racing.

However, in horse racing, there is a glitch that rewards players with far too high payouts. They earn millions of chips per hour, which they can then exchange for GTA currency.

For days, players filled their pockets with a glitch in horse racing. Then on August 7, the news appeared: “Rockstar has fixed the glitch in horse racing.” Players were sad that they could no longer exploit this mechanic.

Just a few hours later, there was a sigh of relief in the glitch community: “Guys, the glitch still works. Just a little differently.”

GTA Online horse racing

What kind of glitch is this? The horse race “Inside Track” in GTA Online is easy to explain. You bet on one of the 6 displayed horses. If the horse you bet on finishes 1st, you win chips according to the odds. The more you bet, the more you can win.

Thanks to a glitch, players are only deducted 200 chips, while in the background, the bet continues to increase. There are payouts of at least 20,000 chips for a winning race, even though you hardly spend any chips for it.

GTA Online Inside Race overview

This way, players easily earn 1.5 million chips per hour. They can then exchange this 1:1 for in-game currency. Because you can even execute the glitch “afk” with a script, it is very popular.

On August 7, Rockstar fixed the original method of the glitch. This was shared by data miner TezFunz2 on Twitter.

But players found out just a few hours later how to continue cheating. This is evident from a look into the subreddit of the glitch community. By modifying a part of the glitch, it can still be executed. This is “a bit more inconvenient,” but it works just like usual.

GTA Glitch Reddit
In the middle the message that the glitch has been patched. Above and below are the new methods

So Rockstar probably has to step up again and find another way to get the glitch under control. A similar event occurred with the big Lester glitch in GTA Online, which enriched players with millions of dollars.

Is it allowed to use the glitch? We advise against cheating in this glitch in GTA Online horse racing. This mechanic is not intended by the game. Some players on Reddit already report that after using this glitch for hours, they were banned from activities in the casino.

Final Fantasy XIV will spare new players the most exhausting part

The head of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, announced that some of the long and sluggish story quests of the MMORPG will be made more compact.

What did Yoshida say? In the past producer stream, the head of FFXIV answered player questions during a Q&A. He mentioned that the development team is currently working on shortening the story quests of “A Realm Reborn.”

final-fantasy-14-minfilia
The NPC Minfilia has become a running gag in the community because players often had to run around a lot because of her.

The quests are to be made more compact overall. The change is expected to come with Patch 5.3 next year.

This adjustment will be especially beneficial for new players starting with FFXIV and having to work through long lines of fetch quests from ARR.

Yoshida did not specify which aspects of ARR will be shortened, but it can be assumed that it will not impact the storytelling of the MMORPG.

Why is this a problem? While Final Fantasy XIV is praised by many for its great story, the beginning of the MMORPG is generally considered very sluggish. New players must play through the entire story before they can reach the endgame.

final fantasy xiv kristallturm cut scene
The story of FFXIV now includes 600+ quests.

Meanwhile, the starter quests of the “A Realm Reborn” storyline are considered rather uninteresting, even though they contribute to world-building. They mainly contain an extremely large number of fetch quests, which sometimes require a lot of running on foot.

This can also deter new players and is supposed to change in the future.

von Erzkanzler

What does the community say? The information has received a large response in the community. On reddit, players voiced their opinions in a long thread on the topic.

Many said that while the length and amount of fetch quests did not bother them too much, the game would benefit from reducing the running around. Some also mentioned examples of fetch quests that annoyed them the most while playing:

[…] The one thing that annoyed me was the quest where you have to dump a bucket of water over a guy’s head: You take the bucket, go to the river, and use it. Ok, done, right? No, you have to put the bucket in the river. Then you have to click it again to fill it. Ok, now are you done? No, you have to click it again to pick it up. And every action has a preparation time.

by senj0ugahara

Other quests from ARR have also received criticism. Players also mentioned the quest line leading to the battle against Titan as one they found to be the worst.

final fantasy xiv innocence fight

What’s next for FFXIV? After the release of Shadowbringers and the start of the summer event in FFXIV, the developers are now working on the next content patch number 5.1, which should go live in the fall. It will include, among other things, the following content:

  • Continuation of the Shadowbringers story
  • The first quests for the Beast Tribes of Shadowbringers
  • The 24-man raid for Nier Automata
  • Balance adjustments for jobs like Ninja, Samurai, Summoner, and some others
  • The Extreme version of the last trial of Shadowbringers

Players can also look forward to the “Festival of Rebirth” event at the end of August / beginning of September to celebrate the 6th anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV; data miners have already found hints for it in the game code. It will likely be accompanied by a 14-hour live stream from the developer studio in Tokyo, as has been the case in previous years.

How CoD Modern Warfare wants to offer something for every type of player with its kill streaks

The developers of Infinity Ward have now revealed fresh details about the kill streak system of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. And this should delight many players. Because there is something for every playstyle. Three approaches from previous series installments are combined.

What are kill streaks anyway? Kill streaks represent a special reward in multiplayer for numerous installments of the “Call of Duty” series that can be earned by achieving multiple consecutive kills.

A certain number of kills, for example, can reward you with a helicopter, a reconnaissance drone, or white phosphorus. You can then call them in at the press of a button at an opportune moment, giving the opposing team another round of heat.

The system rewards good players and teams who achieve many kills without being taken down themselves.

modern-warfare-phosphor-titel-01

These systems also exist: In addition to kill streaks, there are also other systems in the individual series installments:

  • Score streaks: This system was last used in Black Ops 4. Here, special rewards are earned not (only) through kills but through points. This rewards not only players who make kills but also players who “play the objective” by completing tasks and thus earning points for their team.
  • In addition, there was the so-called specialist perk system in Modern Warfare 3. This allowed players to forgo regular kill streak rewards and instead unlock additional perks for consecutive kills, granting their character extra bonuses.

This is how the kill streak system works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

What is it like in Modern Warfare? The reboot of Modern Warfare will primarily rely on the kill streaks in its multiplayer – this will be the standard system. The developers have already revealed this some time ago.

More about this can be found here: CoD Modern Warfare gets kill streaks again – Many fans find it annoying

However, to cater to all types of players, there will be options for the other systems to come into play if desired. These are, however, optional. And this is how it is supposed to work.

Modern-warfare-juggernaught

Score streaks are also possible: As the design directors Geoff Smith and Joe Cecot from Infinity Ward stated in the new developer blog post, there will be a perk called “Point Man” in Modern Warfare.

This will allow players to change kill streaks to score streaks if they prefer this system.

The specialist perk streaks are returning: The specialist streaks from Modern Warfare 3 are also set to return in the reboot of the series. These were only briefly mentioned in the blog, so Joe Cecot elaborated on them a bit more on Twitter.

This will allow players to completely forgo kill streaks and instead utilize the specialist system (no, not the specialists from the Black Ops series).

https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1159160774222180352

This will be an extra option in the perk menu that can be unlocked during progress. If selected, the kill streaks will be replaced with three selected additional perks, granting the operator additional bonuses with increasing consecutive kills.

https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1159161767060094976

Who is this new system aimed at? This system is clearly designed to offer players as many options as possible to fit their individual playstyle. With this design, Modern Warfare aims to provide something for every type of player.

Players who prefer kills can utilize the standard kill streak system. Players who prefer achieving objectives or supporting can earn their rewards with score streaks. And operators who want to equip their character with additional bonuses can also benefit from the specialist perk streaks.

And this is likely to delight many fans. Because when Modern Warfare first announced that they were returning to the kill streak system, there were numerous discussions on Reddit and other platforms. Many were dissatisfied and found the score streak system better. However, after the latest details were revealed, every player should be happy with the new system.

What do you think of this system? A good compromise that would make all types of players happy? Or do you only prefer one of these systems?

There is a new PC MMORPG about Dragon Ball – Here is Gameplay

Out of nowhere, a PC MMORPG based on Dragon Ball appeared at the Chinese gaming fair ChinaJoy, where it was even playable.

What was there to see at the ChinaJoy fair? ChinaJoy is the largest Asian gaming fair, which took place last week in Shanghai. One of the countless games presented there was a new MMORPG for PC developed by Namco Bandai and Giant Network.

It is surprising that there has been almost no information about an MMORPG of such a major IP as Dragon Ball until now. The game has already gone through several closed beta tests and even has a playable demo version showcased at the ChinaJoy fair.

The title of the game is roughly translated as “Dragon Ball: Legend of Space and Time”. You can watch a long gameplay video here:

4 Races and Locations That Dragon Ball Fans Know

What do we know about the MMORPG? For now, there isn’t much information available about the MMORPG. So far, the only confirmed platform is the PC. The playable demo provided the following information:

  • There are 4 playable races: Sayajin, Majin, Namekians, and Earthlings.
  • The story seems to revolve around time travel, and Trunks is an important NPC character.
  • Players can visit several well-known locations from the Dragon Ball universe, such as Master Roshi’s Island.
  • There is a kind of upgrade system consisting of “implants,” and players can assemble a setup from available boosts. These enhance various stats like attack power or HP.
  • The Majin have the highest defense values of all 4 races, making them a sort of “melee tank.”
  • The Namekians specialize in ranged combat and also have healing skills.

Excitement about the game seems to be limited so far. The few reactions found online mention slow tab-target combat and that the gameplay “feels worse than many mobile games.”

dragon ball mmorpg character

Is there any information about beta tests or a release date? So far, at least two closed beta tests for the MMORPG have been held, but there is still no known release date.

Interestingly, the official website of the game has not been updated since May, despite having a booth with a playable demo at ChinaJoy.

This is what Piemonte Calcio should look like in FIFA 20, fans celebrate the emblem

In FIFA 20, the first image of the emblem of Piemonte Calcio has surfaced. And it doesn’t look bad at all.

Update: Here you can find the ratings of Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20.

What is this image? A few hours ago, a closed beta for FIFA 20 started for a select few. This is not available in Germany, but only in the USA and the UK.

It is said that the emblem of Piemonte Calcio has been leaked. This leak is currently spreading on reddit. Here is what the emblem looks like:

fifa 20 piemonte calcio emblem
This is said to be the emblem of Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20

EA Sports officially prohibits streaming the beta or posting images and videos from it online. However, the last few years have shown that not all participants adhere to this, revealing exciting information to the community rebelliously.

Where was this emblem displayed in the beta? According to a reddit post, at the start of FIFA 20, you can choose your favorite club to support. Piemonte Calcio also appeared with this emblem there. Piemonte Calcio is actually Juventus Turin, but the rights to it belong to competitor Konami, so EA Sports has to create a new name, a new emblem, and a new jersey for it.

This emblem is quite well received

This is how the community reacts: “For a fake emblem, this looks really good,” is the top comment under the leak. So far, over 500 people have agreed with this opinion. Many other comments state that it looks “really good” or “surprisingly good.”

Several users believe that this emblem looks better than the new official emblem of Juventus Turin. You can see the “real” emblem here on the chest of Cristiano Ronaldo from FIFA 19:

fifa 19 logo

People are glad that the “Piemonte Calcio” logo instead resembles the old Juve emblem much more and incorporates some of its elements:

The shape of the emblem, the arc in the middle, as well as an animal logo (but a different one) at the bottom in the middle have been retained, and the colors black and white dominate.

Is this the real logo of Piemonte Calcio? Keep in mind that this is a leak that has not been officially confirmed and comes from the beta. So enjoy the info with a grain of caution.

Are these the ratings of Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20? The leak also shows the club’s team rating: 89 in attack, 84 in midfield, and 85 in defense. However, the ratings in the beta are not yet in their final form. There will certainly still be adjustments before the FIFA 20 release on September 27.

Update: Here you can find more leaks from the FIFA 20 beta. Among them is said to be the new Piemonte Calcio jersey.

What does the jersey of Piemonte Calcio look like? That is not known. Some weeks ago, there was a supposed leak that showed this jersey:

fifa 20 gameplay

However, the emblem on it looks different than that from the beta. What design the jersey will ultimately have remains to be seen.

When you can play the FIFA 20 demo, we discuss here.

Why is Piemonte Calcio even in FIFA 20?

This is what it’s about: The end of the partnership between EA Sports and Juventus has several implications for FIFA 20:

  • The club has to be renamed. EA Sports decided on Piemonte Calcio.
  • Piemonte Calcio will be equipped with fictional emblems and jerseys.
  • The Juve players still have the real names and an authentic look.

Here are Predictions for the Bayern Ratings in FIFA 20. Such strong values could be the ratings for players from FC Bayern Munich.

Yes, in WoW: Classic hunters’ pets remain pure chaos

Blizzard has confirmed that Hunter pets in World of Warcraft Classic will continue to be a source of constant joy. Their aggro radius remains unpredictable.

Last night, the final “Pre-Launch Test” for World of Warcraft Classic began. Blizzard took this opportunity to mention a few bugs that are not actually errors. However, there are still some fixes coming, as not everything is running smoothly in WoW: Classic. However, those hoping that Hunter companions would no longer cause chaos in the “new” Classic are mistaken.

These 2 things are not errors: Blizzard revealed two details about Hunters that are not errors. These are:

  • The rate at which companions regenerate focus is not always consistent.
  • The aggro radius of companions works exactly as expected.

Especially on the last point, Blizzard emphasizes that “as expected” actually means: It is chaotic and extremely inconsistent. This was the case back then and will be again.

What does this mean? For all Hunters and groups who take a Hunter along, this is likely to be a frightening message. This means that Hunter companions will frequently “add” and engage enemies that were actually far away. But that’s just part of the Classic feeling.

More bugs that are not bugs can be found in this article.

These bugs will still be fixed: Additionally, there are some bugs that were indeed errors and will be fixed by Blizzard before the release. These include the following issues:

  • Attacking (melee) resets the timer for the active “Auto Shot”.
  • When a quiver is equipped, the tooltip for Aimed Shot incorrectly shows a speed bonus, even though the ability does not receive one.
  • The Hunter’s quiver sometimes appears incorrectly on the Hunter’s hand instead of the equipped weapon.
  • There is a slight delay when using companion abilities (Hunter and Warlock) when activated via “Auto Casting”.
  • The animation and sound for Auto Shot play every time the target is switched while Auto Shot is active.
  • Hunter’s Mark is stackable with different ranks of Improved Hunter’s Mark.
  • Multi-Shot can hit totems.
  • Hunter pet abilities are not automatically pulled into the pet bar when learned.
  • Eagle Eye fails when selecting a location further than 100 meters away.

So there is still a bit to do before the release in about 3 weeks.
