FIFA 20: These 8 transfers have the greatest impact on your Ultimate Team

Max Handwerk 13. August 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

The transfer market in real football is also noticeable in FIFA 20. Players change clubs – and can give you new opportunities when building your Ultimate Team!

That is why transfers are important: In Ultimate Team it’s about building a team of as strong players as possible. However, you need to pay attention to team chemistry. Depending on which club, league, and nationality a player represents, he will fit better with other players.

That is why especially transfers in real football are interesting that involve moving to a different league. This creates new combination possibilities. We show you a selection of particularly interesting transfers that open up new opportunities for your Ultimate Team!

Eden Hazard

That is why the Hazard transfer is interesting: Eden Hazard is one of the absolute top players in the world. This also applies to the FIFA series, which made Hazard one of the cover stars for FIFA 20. With the Belgian, Real Madrid, and thus the Spanish League, get a great forward. He won’t be easy to obtain, but if you build a La Liga team, you should try to buy Hazard at some point during the game (or pull him from packs).

Hazard now fits all La Liga players. As a Belgian, Hazard also gives you a good opportunity to build hybrid teams. For example, he fits with Axel Witsel (Bundesliga), Radja Nainggolan (Serie A), or Dries Mertens (also Serie A).

Nicolas Pépé

That is why the Pépé transfer is interesting: Pépé transferred this summer from LOSC Lille to FC Arsenal. His standard card doesn’t look like much at first. However, it’s to be expected that Pépé will get a significant upgrade next year. This season he has made quite an impression, as his TOTS card shows. With Pépé, you get a lightning-fast winger for your Premier League team.

In the Premier League, there are already very fast players like Sterling or Salah. However, Pépé is likely to be at least cheaper than Salah. If Serge Aurier from Tottenham Hotspur stays in the league, there’s even a strong connection due to nationality.

Joao Cancelo

That is why the Cancelo transfer is interesting: Joao Cancelo was one of the most popular right-backs in FIFA 19 and collected many special cards. He was extremely strong both defensively and offensively. For the upcoming season, he is joining Manchester City.

Cancelo is likely to be one of the best right-backs in FIFA 20. In real football, he has just become the most expensive right-back of all time. Therefore, the former Juventus player will be interesting for every Premier League team after he has left Italian Serie A. Additionally, there is a perfect connection to teammate Bernardo Silva.

Matthijs de Ligt

That is why the de Ligt transfer is interesting: The 20-year-old is considered a huge talent and was among the FIFA 19 Future Stars. With Ajax Amsterdam he stirred things up in the Champions League. Now the center-back has transferred to Juventus Turin – or in the case of FIFA 20 to Piemonte Calcio.

With this transfer, the Italians get another strong center-back, as de Ligt is also likely to be stronger than in FIFA 19. The Dutchman is also interesting for hybrid fans – which is related to our next transfer.

Frenkie de Jong

That is why the de Jong transfer is interesting: Frenkie de Jong played together with Matthijs de Ligt for Ajax Amsterdam. The 22-year-old has moved to the great FC Barcelona in the summer. There, he will be allowed to play in central midfield.

This provides the perfect link to de Ligt. The two Dutch players enable a strong La Liga-Serie A hybrid. Or: You can connect one of the two with Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. However, that one is likely to become much more expensive.

Romelu Lukaku

That is why the Lukaku transfer is interesting: The forward from Manchester United has moved to Italy to Inter Milan. There the Belgian is now playing in attack.

Lukaku is a powerful forward that fits many players in Serie A. He offers you a strong alternative in attack – especially since he is likely to receive a small rating downgrade and will probably be a bit cheaper. Similar to Hazard, he is also very well suited as a Belgian to create hybrid teams.

Pablo Sarabia

That is why the Sarabia transfer is interesting: Pablo Sarabia is moving from the Spanish league from FC Sevilla to the stadiums of the French league to Paris Saint-Germain. The Spaniard had a base card with a rating of 83 since the winter upgrade in FIFA 19. In FIFA 20, he is likely to become a bit stronger.

Sarabia is a good all-rounder who has played both in the center and on the wing. With Sarabia, you get a Spaniard in the French league – and with that a strong combination option for La Liga and Ligue 1. This way, you can integrate the stars of PSG well into your teams, if you get them.

Kieran Trippier

That is why the Trippier transfer is interesting: Kieran Trippier played as an English right-back for the English club Tottenham Hotspur. In the Premier League, there were better alternatives. However, now the defensive specialist plays for Atlético Madrid.

That gives you an English right-back in the Spanish league. Most English players play in the Premier League, so you have a unique opportunity to connect your La Liga players with the English league. By the way, he also fits perfectly with Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and thus offers the possibility of a Bundesliga-Premier-League hybrid.

These are the transfers we are still waiting for: In real football, the transfer window is still open in many leagues. For example, in the Bundesliga, one or another transfer could still take place. Especially FC Bayern is said to still plan a major transfer – it’s possible that things will shift here.

Furthermore, stars like Gareth Bale or Neymar are still being linked with a move. Players of such caliber would also cause shifts in Ultimate Team. But for now, it’s still: wait and see.

Twitch streamer causes WoW Classic servers to overflow

Cortyn 13. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Asmongold gave his all during the stress test of WoW Classic. Together with his community, he pushed the servers to the brink of collapse. With hundreds of players on screen at once, it looked truly like an MMORPG again.

For the final stress test of World of Warcraft Classic, Blizzard urged fans to be particularly active at a specific time. They wanted to see how much load the servers could handle and when layering would need to come into play. The message was clear: Stress the realms as much as possible!

Some streamers took this as an opportunity to carry out this task. For instance, the largest WoW streamer Asmongold brought several hundred viewers along with him.

This is what happened: Asmongold’s stream lasted for several hours, but the most impressive moments of the stress test were captured on the YouTube channel “Asmongold Moments” in a nearly 50-minute video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzDF2-6bM7U

Especially impressive are the scenes where Asmongold gets his viewers to comply with his wishes. Hundreds of players line up to be invited into his guild (minute 19) or run “like a tornado” around him (minute 22:30).

Asmongold pushes WoW Classic servers beyond the breaking point

Server could not handle the load: The result of the immense influx was that the realms could not withstand the pressure multiple times. The server seemed to freeze repeatedly, and all characters were running in place. Accepting or handing in quests was nearly impossible – let alone meaningful fights.

Gradually, the realm seemed to be coping with it and shuffled players into different layers. This is essentially a type of sharding that is only supposed to be used at the launch of WoW Classic so that the player experience at the beginning is not too negative.

Asmongold stops playing WoW title — The Twitch streamer Asmongold.

Even if you cannot relate to Asmongold as a streamer, it is impressive how many players crowded the stress test of WoW Classic and what that did to the server. It is hoped that the release in two weeks will not be as chaotic.

Did you participate in the stress test last weekend? Was it just as crowded and chaotic on your server?

Fortnite: Season 10 Starter Pack, Red Strike, leaked: This is what it looks like

Jürgen Horn 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale offers a new Starter Pack almost every season. This time it is called Red Strike and brings a skin along with V-Bucks. A leak also shows what the skin looks like.

What is included in the new Starter Pack? According to data miners, a new Starter Pack in Fortnite is expected to be released soon. It should be called Red Strike and will include the following items:

Skin “Red Strike”
Back Bling for Red Strike
600 V-Bucks

What does the skin look like? Red Strike is a skin that, according to the leak, wears a black and red jacket. He has a mask on, with a tuft of hair sticking out. His pants, on the other hand, are golden. In the embedded tweet, you can see the skin in action. Unfortunately, we currently lack images and information regarding the back bling.

https://twitter.com/s1l0x/status/1160580735494836224

A bargain, but only for real money

How much does the pack cost? If you want the pack, you should expect to pay the usual $4.99 according to the leak. Here, the packs were available for the same amount in Euros. Since the 600 V-Bucks in the pack are already worth 6 Euros, the pack is a real bargain at this price.

Why is it so cheap? The Starter Packs are probably offered so cheaply to encourage players to engage in microtransactions who have not done so before or have earned V-Bucks through Battle Pass rewards or the PvE mode Save the World.

Because the Starter Pack is explicitly available only for real money, not through in-game V-Bucks. Since you can hardly buy anything with the 600 Bucks in the pack, some customers may well go back to the shop to purchase more Bucks.

When does the pack come out? When the Starter Pack Red Strike comes out is not known. However, since it is already in the game data, it could come with the next update. Updates usually happen on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So keep your eyes peeled if you want the pack.

New Update 23 at ESO live today – 4 changes that cause annoyance

Jürgen Horn 12. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online has received a lot of new content today with the DLC Scalebreaker and the free Update 23. However, player reactions are mixed: We’ll show you 4 changes that are causing trouble.

What’s included in the updates? The DLC Scalebreaker brings two new dungeons, the Moongrave Temple City and the Nest of Maarselok. Update 23, on the other hand, offers three major quality-of-life improvements as well as numerous balancing updates.

Quality of life yay, balancing nay

Here’s how the updates are received: The three major quality-of-life changes are as follows:

You can now craft and refine as many items as you have resources. All at once.
You can now bid on multiple guild trading posts at the same time
You now receive Unfettered Keys and can directly exchange them for certain chests and items.

These three changes have been very well received and fans love them.

This bothers parts of the community: However, many fans hold a different opinion about the balance changes. The patch alters numerous aspects of the game that many fans didn’t consider to be in need of change. Some of the most discussed aspects in the Test Server Forum include:

The skill Momentum, which is gained from PvP, has been nerfed. It now heals more, but the time between healing pulses has been doubled.
Healing staffs can no longer spam the skill Major Healing
The werewolf skills now cost 25 percent more, but also deal more damage. However, the developers may introduce further changes here soon.
Two-handed weapons, which were already considered strong by many players, are now even stronger. The skill “Executioner” now deals 400% more damage instead of the previous 350%.

All these changes and a few more are necessary from the developers’ perspective in the patch notes, as they want a consistent concept, especially for area damage and healing. However, this now leads to many builds that players have become accustomed to needing to be restructured.

It will therefore show whether the changes were ultimately sensible or if the developers overdid it.

One of the reasons for the players’ frustration could also be that ESO still has performance issues. Therefore, parts of the community are upset that resources and time are being invested in unwarranted balancing, while important performance fixes are postponed to 2020.

Dungeons are cool

Here’s how the dungeons are received: As controversial as Update 23 is, many fans are clearly satisfied with the two new dungeons. Especially the Nest of Maarselok impressed with its elaborate boss mechanics.

The Moongrave Temple City we were able to test ourselves and found the final battle with dragons and vampires particularly well staged.

New glitch in GTA Online supposedly guarantees players the supercar prize

Patrick Freese 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Glitches in GTA Online are currently popular, shortly after the casino’s opening. A glitch at the lucky wheel now guarantees players win the podium car.

What is this glitch? With this glitch or trick, the lucky wheel in the GTA Online casino always lands on the car prize. The lucky wheel is supposed to randomly determine whether a player wins RP, money, clothing, or other valuables like the podium car.

With the 4-second glitch, this randomness principle is simply bypassed. Players say that the lucky wheel always stops at the podium car. With another glitch at the lucky wheel, you have unlimited attempts.

How does the glitch work? We will refrain from giving a detailed guide here. Essentially, it involves having the correct starting field and then following a 4-second rule. If these two factors play off correctly, the lucky wheel is supposed to always stop on the car field and gift players the podium vehicle.

A player comments, “Nothing is random when it comes to computers. We will find everything.”

That’s why so many love the new car in GTA Online, even though it’s slow

von Patrick Freese

This is being discussed: Some players claim that the glitch is not a glitch at all, but a rumor. They say they can’t manage to win the car with it. These players are said to execute the glitch incorrectly.

Other voices, however, say that it works, and they won the car immediately on the first spin. These players are said to have just been lucky.

So these two instances stand opposed to each other.

Why use this glitch? At the lucky wheel of GTA Online, you can win cool stuff or draw some miserable booby prizes. You can find the big winners and losers of the lucky wheel in GTA Online here.

Weekly, the car displayed on the podium in the casino changes. It is one of the most popular prizes in the casino, and players do not want to leave such a valuable prize to chance. Players can spin the lucky wheel once per day, and it costs neither chips nor GTA dollars, it is completely free.

The glitches in the casino are currently very popular, and Rockstar is having trouble getting control of them.

Why players are now so hot on No Man’s Sky – Are you also looking forward to NMS 2.0?

Sven Galitzki 12. August 2019 Reading time 6 minutes

The space game No Man’s Sky is currently all the rage. The hype feels as big as it was at release, thanks to many upcoming contents. But why? We show what the upcoming mammoth update Beyond contains and what makes Beyond and “No Man’s Sky 2.0” so special for many.

Why the current hype? There was a huge hype around No Man’s Sky at its release in August 2016. But the game did not meet the high expectations of players and was for many the disappointment of the year.

But the developers at Hello Games continued to work on the project despite massive criticism and numerous difficulties, expanding it piece by piece. In their major updates, the developers oriented themselves towards their own visions and the wishes of the fans.

Now, No Man’s Sky is receiving the next big update Beyond on August 14 – the largest for the game to date. Recently, the developers of Hello Games introduced Beyond with its own trailer. This update is free for all owners of No Man’s Sky.

Since then, a new hype has erupted around the title. The space sim is getting numerous exciting new features, with something for everyone, many of which have been eagerly awaited for a long time. Additionally, numerous fans joke that there is so much new content that one didn’t even know they wanted it until its recent presentation.

You can watch the trailer here:

Who is the update interesting for? What many are celebrating about the update: It really has something for almost everyone who is interested in the game:

Newcomers are offered an attractive and extensive overall package that embodies what many expected at the launch of No Man’s Sky
Returning players will be lured in with completely new experiences like VR and the expanded online multiplayer
Established veterans can look forward to numerous desired features and innovations that should transport them into the world of No Man’s Sky for many more hours

What’s in No Man’s Sky Beyond

The update is very extensive and is essentially built on three pillars:

Online features
Virtual Reality (VR)
and No Man’s Sky 2.0

The developers refer to NMS 2.0 as the overall package of improvements and new features that will come into the game with Beyond.

Below, we show you some highlights that you can expect in Beyond and that are responsible for the current hype around No Man’s Sky. Many are particularly looking forward to these.

More online and more together

Expanded online features: With Beyond, the multiplayer will be significantly expanded and offer numerous new features that aim to highlight the online component more. Because playing together with friends is much more fun, as the developers say.

16 – 32 players, depending on the platform. Filled with friends or random players.
New social space – The Nexus. This exists outside of time and space, can be summoned in any system you are currently in, and can be entered seamlessly without loading times. It works similarly to the Tower in Destiny. You can move freely there, showcase your ships, suits, and constructions
In the Nexus, there are new shops, missions, and story elements. It is operated by Polo and Nada
In the Nexus, you can take on multiplayer missions, grant everyone in the Nexus access to your base, and team up with strike teams to seamlessly venture into the same system for joint adventures
Featured Bases: This is where the developers will showcase particularly cool constructions from the community. Every player can then visit this base for a limited time and see for themselves
Community missions: If you participate, you will automatically be warped to a specific planet in a specific system and mixed with other online players. If you master these quests, you earn special in-game currency that you can then spend in a corresponding shop for new rewards. This will not be available directly at the launch of Beyond
Some planets will also be transformed into social spaces where players can freely have fun together

VR takes No Man’s Sky to a new level

Full VR experience: The VR experience has been praised to the skies by everyone who has already had a chance to experience it. This would take No Man’s Sky to a completely new level, according to numerous pages and magazines. Here is what we currently know about VR in NMS:

Everything you can do in the normal game can also be done in VR. You can easily play with players without VR (only virtual fist-bumps won’t work)
You can continue with your normal save in VR
VR supports all major available headsets and their input methods – including PSVR for PS4
PS4 players are not forced to use the Move controllers, they can also use the regular DualShock 4 controller
Teleportation options and direct movements are available
Controls work somewhat fundamentally differently than in the regular gameplay experience. For example, the analysis visor is activated when you tap the headset twice. Menus are operated through a holo-pad on the glove. You can reach up to close the cockpit canopy of your ship. If you prefer to smash carbon out of an alien plant, you can do that too

What is No Man’s Sky 2.0?

No Man’s Sky 2.0: The list of features in this pillar is enormous and roughly twice as long as the previously largest update Next. NMS 2.0 runs through almost all areas of the game. Thus, there is something for almost every player and playstyle – even if you are not into online play and the VR experience. This has also been very highlighted and praised by many fans.

The list of changes and new features for Next contained nearly 250 points. Beyond will contain about twice as many.
Strong focus on optimizations
Requests and feedback from fans served as the basis for most changes and innovations
There will be a new galaxy map, among other things
New alien races
New languages
NPCs finally move – in stations and on planets
You can sit on chairs (which is celebrated a lot)
Expanded base building for larger complex constructions with industrial elements (solar panels, mining equipment), electricity conduits, teleporters, physics-altering systems, and logic elements that allow the building of own mechanics

Creatures can be tamed, ridden, or even milked
Planets will be revamped; they should no longer just be large boring biomes.
Menus and various other elements of the user interface have been revised
Cooking and recipes are coming to the game
The sizes of many objects (like ships or plants) have been revised for VR, but also for the normal game.

Sean Murray, the head of Hello Games, goes into detail about many of the new features in this video:

What is No Man’s Sky anyway? No Man’s Sky is a space exploration and survival game that you can experience alone or online with other players.

In a gigantic, procedurally generated open world consisting of 18 trillion planets, the game puts you in the role of a spaceship pilot and space explorer. You wake up on a random planet, have to repair your ship, and then either travel to the center of the galaxy (the main goal of the game, which is actually completely secondary) or go on an exploration tour in the infinite vastness of space.

There you can fight, discover, build bases, interact with other players, and more.

Survey: Are you also excited for No Man’s Sky Beyond?

On reddit and other forums or discussion platforms, many fans are currently excited for Beyond and are already counting the hours until release. In this context, we want to know if you are also excited about the new update. Will you check out the game for the first time? Will you return? Or are you looking forward to the new features as a veteran with a lot of playtime?

Fortnite: The next map change in Season 10 is coming – New rift discovered

Jürgen Horn 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Season 10 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, something big will soon change on the map again. This time, the machines for the Rift have appeared at Mega Mall. Is this place soon to be history?

What happened? Anyone who visited the location Mega Mall in Fortnite recently probably noticed the strange machines suddenly standing around there.

And anyone who has looked more closely at Season 10 knows that exactly such a machinery (a Rift anchor) last stood in Tilted Towers before the whole place was sent back in time and turned into a Wild West town.

Big changes are coming to Mega Mall

What happens next? YouTuber Ali-A, who discovered the anchor and posted it on Twitter, suspects that the days of Mega Mall are now numbered. He saw this coming and suspects that Season 10 is slowly bringing back the futuristic new areas from Season 9 through the Rift anchors.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

However, fans are divided on what will happen in Mega Mall. Here are some of the speculations from Reddit and Twitter:

Some speculate that Mega Mall will become Retail Row again, the place that was destroyed by the volcano in Season 8 and revived as the futuristic shopping center Mega Mall in Season 9.
Others think that Mega Mall will be brought into the future, to a time when it exists as a ruined, empty shell of its current form.
Maybe Mega Mall will even become a sort of western shopping street again.

Additionally, many players agree that Mega Mall will have a special rule:

Some fear that there will be a building ban here as well, as was the case at Tilted last time.
Others speculate a zero-gravity zone where you’ll make enormous jumps.
Others think that there might not be any jumps in the new zone and that you have to stay firmly on the ground.

When will the changes arrive? It is also unclear when it will happen. However, it is suspected that it will be in the next update. This usually happens on Tuesday or Wednesday, but at the latest on Thursday, when the new mission challenges are planned.

Will players have to resort to drastic measures again in the event of a new building ban?

Weird Mech Glitch Guarantees Victory in Fortnite – Here’s What Epic Says

Jürgen Horn 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale has another reason to hate the new mech. Because with a bizarre glitch, it may be that you automatically win the game without lifting a finger.

What is the glitch? In Fortnite, the new mech is a major nuisance for many players. The stomping battle machines are extremely powerful and difficult to counter. But there is another reason to be mad at them: A glitch enables an exploit that guarantees you win the game.

A YouTuber has explained exactly how it works on his channel. We don’t want to explain an obvious exploit here, as this is clearly not desired and could rightfully lead to a ban. After all, you are ruining the fun for everyone else.

However, when the glitch is properly exploited in duo mode, two players can use a mech and a grenade to self-destruct and somehow convince the game that they are still a living mech with 1,000 hit points.

This then allows you to survive as a bodiless but still present player until the last opponent miserably burns up in the storm. A cowardly and mean way to win that works like a charm if you exploit the complicated glitch.

What happens, however, if 2 teams use this exploit is not known.

Does the glitch finally lead to the mech being removed?

This is how players are reacting: The video about the glitch has already been viewed almost 29,000 times (as of August 10, 2019). While some are excited about the “trick” for an easy victory, others humorously hope that the mech will finally be removed from the game as a measure against this glitch:

“Thanks for doing God’s work here, now hopefully they’ll finally remove the mechs!”
“Thanks for getting rid of the mech for us!”
“Hopefully Epic will finally remove the mech from the game because of the glitch!”

What is being done against the glitch? So far, Epic has not reacted to the glitch and exploit. Since the problem seems to be inherently related to the mech, it could possibly lead to a (temporary) removal of the vehicle from the game.

This is Epic’s response

Update 12.8. 16:33: Sean “MrPopo” Hamilton from Epic has now commented on the glitch (via reddit).

It is stated that Epic can confirm this problem will be fixed with the V10.10 update.

There is no exact date for the update yet, but possible release dates for the patch and thus the fix could be Tuesday, 13.8., or Wednesday, 14.8.

Beta testers say about the Asia MMORPG Astellia: “It will not be Bless 2.0”

Alexander Leitsch 12. August 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

On August 5th, the second Closed Beta for the MMORPG Astellia ended. After this test, many shared their experiences in forums and on Reddit. The conclusion is predominantly positive.

How did the second beta test go? The second beta ran from July 30th to August 8th. For this, the developers of Astellia adjusted some content, which was criticized in the first test.

There was an attempt to reduce the downtime between battles, and the world PvP was given a bit more focus. Players are generally satisfied with the changes, although there are some concerns about the number of players.

Too few testers for the world PvP

What do the players think about Avalon? In the large world PvP, the three factions Ceres, Physe, and Eos compete against each other. For one week, players can join a group, fight for it, and earn rewards.

In the second Closed Beta, this area, which is very similar to the world versus world from Guild Wars 2, was supposed to be tested. However, many players simply couldn’t find opponents, as they reported on Reddit:

Groqstrong: I jumped into the area of Avalon, but it was like a ghost town. Where are the PvP zones?
Idunaz: I used the “Instant Level 50” boost and wandered around Avalon. During that time, I encountered 4-5 opponents in an hour.

Players are concerned about player numbers: User CieI is pessimistic regarding the PvP area. He describes that there were already problems with Avalon in Korea because the Open World PvE simply offers more rewards.

The Reddit user PizzaForever98 goes even further. He fears that Astellia will generally struggle with low player numbers in the West because there has been hardly any media attention for the Asian MMORPG.

There will be no Bless 2.0!

What do players think about Astellia? PizzaForever98 does have concerns about player numbers but finds the MMORPG very good:

The game is really fun, but there are still thousands of beta keys unused and you hardly see players in-game. The game lacks a bit of PR.
Many users call it Bless 2.0, but it has nothing in common with Bless, except for the engine. The developers urgently need to create awareness, or the game will die quickly.

von Schuhmann

Other players also draw positive conclusions from the beta, even if some concerns are expressed:

explodedteabag: I enjoy it. I love the design of the Astels and that you can deploy and put them away as you like.
Groqstrong: The graphics of the Astels is the only issue I have with the MMORPG. [..] I understand that Astellia doesn’t bring much new, but it also doesn’t advertise itself as a game changer. The game may not be for everyone, but I like it.
DemonicToys666: The game is really fun and it reminds me a lot of Aion. I would love to play it at launch, but I don’t want to invest money because it will probably fail.

What criticism is there? Not all voices on Reddit are positive. Some criticize Astellia for not bringing any unique features or innovations.

Normadie calls the Astel system an overly glorified pet system. It only increases the grind because you have to level both yourself and the pets.

The Reddit user Famous_Cryptographer is not enthusiastic about Astellia and asks:

A game released in 2018 with DirectX9 and Unreal Engine 3? An AFK simulator with the only exciting feature being to dodge fields on the ground?
Girls that look like 12-year-olds with big breasts and high heels, setting out to explore the world? [..]
Is this the MMORPG that’s supposed to give players a bit of hope?

Good performance inspires hope for the future

How was the performance of the beta? There are often discussions about performance in MMORPGs. Some games do not reach the desired FPS count, which is why performance is closely monitored during the beta.

However, here too, the positive voices prevail, stating that they had no problems with FPS counts and lags. Again, user Groqstrong again draws the comparison to Bless.

There are said to be worlds of difference in performance between the two games, favoring Astellia.

What’s next for Astellia? Currently, there is no exact information about the future of the Asian MMORPG. What is certain is that a release is still planned for 2019.

When exactly and whether we will have another beta test beforehand is still unknown.

We also took a look at the MMORPG in the first beta and drew a conclusion:

Destiny 2: One thing does not transfer with cross-save

Schuhmann 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The online shooter Destiny 2 will receive the “Cross-Save” feature in a few days. Players will then be able to switch from PS4 to PC or Xbox One and vice versa, taking almost everything with them to their new home. Well, almost everything. Because the Silver remains on the old platform.

This is the good news: On August 21, Cross-Save will be active in Destiny 2. This is important for anyone who plays Destiny 2 on more than one platform or plans to switch permanently.

You can then use the same account on:

PS4,
Xbox One,
and PC (initially through Battle.net, but soon through Steam)

.

Bungie promises that Guardians can take everything that is on their account. This includes weapons, gear, and loot.

We have detailed how Cross-Save works here for you.

You switch to the platform “arm” in Destiny 2

What can you not take with you? First of all, the expansions and games you purchased will be missing. Just because you own the “Forsaken” expansion on PS4 doesn’t mean you can continue playing it on PC. This has been known for a while.

New information is that you also cannot take the real-money currency “Silver” to the other platform. You must spend the Silver on the platform where you purchased it.

You will only possess the Silver associated with a character that you purchased on the current platform and have not yet spent.

This apparently stems from the fact that each platform has its own shop.

Those switching permanently should keep the Silver problem in mind

Who does this affect and how can they solve the problem? If you plan to permanently switch platforms and want to transition from PS4 to PC and burn all bridges behind you, you should consider in the coming days what you want to do with your existing Silver: Specifically, what cosmetic item you might want to acquire.

Because on the new platform, the Guardian will possess the newly purchased item, but not the Silver they had accumulated before.

If you plan to play permanently on two platforms anyway, the lack of Silver might not be an issue. The real annoyance is that you will have to buy Forsaken or the season pass again.

This is the story mode in FIFA 20 Volta – Duration, Trailer, first information

Tom Rothstein 12. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

First info is known about the story mode in FIFA 20 Volta. You can play these contents in the story mode of Vilta, that’s how long the game duration is and that’s the story trailer.

This is the story mode in Volta: “Volta” is a comprehensive, new mode in FIFA 20 where you play not on the field, but on small fields in 3v3, 4v4 or 5v5. Street football returns to the FIFA series with Volta.

Volta consists of 4 game modes:

There is a story mode
In the Volta kickoff mode, you play with real teams on small fields
In the Volta Tour, you compete against other community teams in single-player mode
In the Volta League, you play against other players online

You can see the story mode as a detailed tutorial that gently introduces you to this Volta world.

This content is offered in the story of FIFA 20 Volta

You can play this in the story: In the story mode, you kick against street football legends, professional footballers, and teams generated by the community, according to EA Sports. These are the main features:

You create your own avatar. This is then the main protagonist in the story and the character you will play with in the Volta world. Your avatar is “dynamic” – the better you play, the better the avatar gets. You can freely determine appearance and gender.
You learn how to recruit players. To succeed in street football, you cannot just kick alone. You have to build a team over the course of the story to outplay the opposing teams.
In the story, you learn the basics of how to build and manage a team.
You travel to unique playing fields that have never existed in this form in FIFA before. In total, there are supposed to be 17 different small fields. We list all stadiums and small fields in FIFA 20 here.
You play against street legends in competitive matches on their home fields.
Additionally, there are mini-skill games where you can, for example, break glass windows. Through these mini-games in FIFA 20 Volta, you can unlock rewards.

What is the story about? Your avatar has a dream: he wants to be invited to the VOLTA WORLD Championships in Buenos Aires and win the “ultimate small field prize.” For that, he now needs to build a team that can help him succeed.

So you will not be a professional footballer like Alex Hunter in The Journey, but a street kicker.

Story trailer for Volta: EA Sports has released a short trailer for the story in FIFA 20 Volta that captures the street atmosphere:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

The trailer doesn’t reveal too much yet. But EA promises that the story will be an “immersive experience.”

Is this a sequel to The Journey? The Journey was the story mode from FIFA 17 to FIFA 19. The trilogy about Alex Hunter ended in FIFA 19. The Volta story mode tells a new story with new protagonists.

How long does the story last? When does it end?

So the story mode is supposed to last: According to the developers, the story is about 5 to 6 hours long. That is significantly shorter than the story of The Journey.

However, after these 5 to 6 hours, it’s not over. You will be released into the Volta world, where you can continue to improve your avatar and progress in various Volta modes.

There isn’t a real ending like in The Journey. You can then play online with your avatar and his team or participate in single-player mode.

Keep in mind that the Volta world almost always requires a permanent online connection. Only the kickoff mode is supposed to be playable offline.

When can I play Volta for the first time? A portion of the Volta mode is expected to be playable in the demo. All info here:

In my WoW realm, the war mode feels like cheating

Cortyn 12. August 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

The war mode in World of Warcraft is a great thing. Especially Cortyn is happy about it, because it brings significant advantages – without any danger.

Since Battle for Azeroth, there has been the war mode in World of Warcraft, which is supposed to entice players to PvP. On all realms, players must actively choose to participate in this mode in order to be attackable by the other faction. This is rewarded with different bonuses, such as additional quests and rewards, which then result in more gold or extra reputation points. Actually, the war mode should also pose some danger, but that is not the case – at least not on the realm “Die Aldor”, as it is a special case that simply bypasses the system.

The bonus in war mode: In the war mode, there is a varying bonus on received gold, currencies like mana pearls, or experience points during the leveling phase. This bonus ranges from 10% to 30% and depends on how balanced the factions were in the past week within a region (Europe, America, etc.). So if there were many more Horde players than Alliance members in the war mode last week, then there will be a larger bonus for the Alliance in the next week. This is intended to give the previously disadvantaged faction an incentive to still venture into the war mode.

The Aldor is a very special realm

And this is exactly where the “problem” of my realm comes in. The Aldor is not only a role-playing realm but also a quite peculiar one in Blizzard’s realm structure. Unlike almost all other realms, the Aldor is not automatically connected by “cross-realm” with other realms. This means in clear terms: if you play on “Die Aldor”, you only encounter people from that server. The only exception occurs when players from “Die Aldor” open a group and players from other realms join the group.

This is of course a wonderful thing because the Aldor is one of the last RP realms where a lot of RP is still done. Not being disturbed by “server outsiders” who jump in with spells during RP conversations is really relaxing in the RP metropolises and a clear plus point.

But now we come to the absurdity that a connection of these two systems brings with it. On the Aldor, there is a very unequal distribution of the two factions. About 70% of players play an Alliance character, while there are about 30% for the Horde. The “real” numbers are probably even more unfair and are distorted by the fact that many Alliance players also have one or two characters on the Horde.

Because the Alliance is completely superior, most Alliance characters also play directly in war mode in PvE. Since only players from “Die Aldor” are there, you don’t have to fear attacks from the Horde.

Technically speaking, the realm belongs to the “Europe” area and thus benefits from the war mode bonus that applies to the entire region. Across all of Europe, the Alliance is almost always outnumbered.

More on the topic

Patch 8.2 of WoW is still fun even after a month – Why is that?

von Cortyn

Maximum bonus for almost no risk

Ultimately, this means for my realm that the Alliance permanently enjoys a bonus of 25% or 30% and is still the superior faction that has nothing to fear in the war mode.

Even more bonuses without risk: But the 25% – 30% are not the only bonus you get. Additionally, there are extra quests in Nazjatar or Mechagon, as well as of course the pure advantage of actively using the PvP talents in the open world. This makes farming particularly enjoyable.

Do you remember the “Air Drops”, those loot boxes that land in Nazjatar approximately every 45 minutes? 100% of them go to the Alliance.

I therefore have access to additional rewards and abilities and an almost non-existent risk.

The situation on the Aldor is so absurd that Alliance players in the general channel are sometimes completely outraged when one or two Horde players stray into the war mode and kill someone. Often, there is an uproar in the general channel about it, and some sarcastically ask:

“Horde players in the war mode from Aldor? Isn’t that against the terms of service?”

In summary, playing in war mode as an Alliance player on the Aldor feels like cheating. It doesn’t feel fair and also somewhat ruins the sense that the war mode is supposed to convey. Therefore, I would even wish that – at least in war mode – the realm would be connected with other realms.

Because where there is a sunny side, there is also a dark side, and a group of players that I feel sorry for: The Horde side of the Aldor. They have all the disadvantages of the war mode but not a single advantage. Except maybe the certainty of always having enough targets in sight.

ESO: Scalebreaker brings new dungeons: We have already played one of them

Jürgen Horn 12. August 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online receives two new dungeons today: the Halls of Maarselok and the Moongrave Temple City. We were able to play through the latter live with the developers. Here are our highlights!

Which dungeon is it about? We were with the developers Rich Lambert (Creative Director), Jeremy Sera (Lead Content Designer), and Mike Finnigan (Lead Designer – Dungeons) in the dungeon “Moongrave Temple City”.

This instance is part of the new ESO DLC Scalebreaker, which is released today, August 12, 2019, for PC. The console versions will follow on August 27.

This is the story behind the dungeon: The Temple City is still in Elsweyr and has long been abandoned by the Khajiit. However, dark vampires from the cat folk can now be found there, who have made the Temple City their hideout.

That would be bad enough, but the vampires have teamed up with a rogue Dragonguard and brought a dragon down from the sky.

The beast is now being held in the center of the Temple City and is intended to serve as a blood bank for the vampires. The blue suckers hope to gain legendary dragon powers by consuming the dragon’s lifeblood.

These are the highlights of the dungeon

This is the most fun in the new dungeon: Like with all DLC dungeons from recent years, the developers have come up with a few special things here as well. In the following paragraphs, you’ll find out what I, Jürgen, found particularly positive in the dungeon.

The cool Khajiit architecture

This is what the dungeon looks like: The developers really put in effort when designing the massive Khajiit buildings in the ESO expansion. The dungeon of the Moongrave Temple City takes it a step further.

The entire site looks like a site abandoned for centuries by a religious cult that built a place far from civilization to serve higher powers. The whole structure resembles a mix of Indian and Thai architecture. However, one quickly notices that they are not on an Asian trip but in Tamriel.

Everywhere there are colossal statues of mystical Khajiit heroes, and all the symbolism is clearly aimed at the mystery cult of the two moons Jone and Jode, which are worshipped by the Khajiit in a cult that is hardly understandable for outsiders.

Furthermore, the entire site is designed so that throughout the traverse one can always look across the central square and recognize the entrance again and again. The level design is certainly impressive and significantly contributes to the atmosphere.

The enemy design

These are the enemies in the dungeon: As mentioned, vampires are the main opponents here. However, they are not the usual pale bloodsuckers you have fought against numerous times in the game. The vampires in the Temple City are all Khajiit. This also applies to the panthers that are sneaking around everywhere, which are also Khajiit subspecies.

In addition, there are unholy parts of the architecture that have been filled with dark rituals of bloodlust. This results in suddenly broken decorations of the temple facade jumping at us, wanting to drink our blood.

However, particularly impressive are the big brothers of the usual vampires. Like all Khajiit, there are also vampiric versions in different forms. The feared giant Khajiit of the Pahmar-Rath type are present as special elite enemies and as a special boss in the dungeon.

To appropriately stage the cat colossal beings, the developers mostly placed them in narrow corridors as patrols. When a three-meter-tall vampire cat person suddenly strolls around the corner, it certainly makes a significant impression on our dungeon team.

The box mechanics

This is what the boxes are about: Like in many new dungeons, there is a special new mechanic here that one uses repeatedly to make puzzles and boss fights more exciting.

In the Moongrave Temple City, these are boxes that you push in the opposite direction through attacks. This is first used to weigh down pressure plates and thus open doors.

This requires teamwork and offers plenty of potential for trolling. For example, if one of the developers always pushes the box somewhere else after I have painstakingly positioned it.

However, at the latest during a special boss fight, the box pushing must be done correctly. A nasty cat gargoyle confronts us on a field from which lava geysers are regularly summoned from cracks.

These must be closed in time with boxes, and if the team does not coordinate optimally here, it can go completely wrong.

The epic final battle

This is what awaits you at the end of the dungeon: As mentioned at the beginning, the goal in the Temple City is to stop the vampires before they can drain the captive dragon.

Unfortunately, we can no longer prevent that. In an epic scene, we first beat the head vampire, but then he jumps over to the dragon, which is buried under rubble.

Filled with dragon power, the vampire becomes a significantly stronger enemy that hits us hard. But the dragon has finally had enough of being a blood bank. Therefore, he randomly intervenes in the fight with his fire breath and supports us in the battle against the bloodsucker.

We can finally take down the vampire together with the excellently animated dragon and have a final conversation with the dragon monster before it succumbs to its injuries.

“It’s a shame that the dragon is dead,” I note. “It would have been cool if we had become friends.” To this, one of the developers replies, “No, that can’t happen. Dragons hate you. This one just hated the vampire even more and liked you a little less now.”

Jürgen’s conclusion: A successful addition to Elsweyr

I had fun in the Temple City. The dungeon is well-designed and exploring an abandoned old temple complex is simply enjoyable. Especially the final battle, where the dragon breathes massive fire streams into the fray, is one of the coolest boss fights I’ve had so far in ESO.

Additionally, the scenario fits well with the Elsweyr story. While there you deal directly with the dragons and their machinations, in this dungeon you see what side plots emerge with the return of the dragons and that the danger does not only come from the dragons themselves.

I’m certainly very curious how the story continues for the rest of the year.

We unfortunately couldn’t play the second dungeon as well, but it was already well-received on the test server:

Why does yet another MMORPG with a hardcore approach fail?

Andreas Bertits 12. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The sandbox MMORPG Life is Feudal MMO actually looked quite interesting, but so far success has eluded it. According to players, it is far too slow and targets a hardcore niche.

What is Life is Feudal? “Difficult and realistic, LiF: MMO portrays medieval life on a grand scale.” This is how the MMORPG is advertised on Steam. The sandbox is meant to present players with a significant challenge and is not supposed to be a walk in the park.

You create a hero and are thrown into a harsh world
It is your task to survive
Like in survival games, you gather resources to craft tools, weapons, and equipment
You can build structures and together create entire cities with other players
PvP is the central factor of the MMORPG. You can be attacked and even enslaved anywhere and anytime
Massive siege battles and guild wars occur

Hardcore is not always well received

Why is the game considered “hardcore”? The developers want players to face challenges. The high difficulty level is supposed to be the hallmark of Life is Feudal. It takes a very long time to build something up. You are constantly at risk from other players and wild NPC tribes, and it is possible to lose everything.

How is the MMORPG currently received? The reviews on Steam show 28 percent for the past 30 days, which is considered “mostly negative.”

According to Steamcharts, around 730 simultaneous players have played in the last 30 days. At peak times, it was 1,628.

Even the switch to a free-to-play model in July couldn’t bring the hoped-for success, although player numbers have slightly increased since then.

What is the opinion on the game? As the reviews on Steam show, the MMORPG is not particularly well received by most.

There is a general consensus that this title only appeals to those who have a lot of time, a great deal of patience, and wish to play in large guilds.

You can achieve nothing alone in Life is Feudal. At least ten players are needed for a guild, and only in a large guild do you have the chance to gradually build something up. You also need to be very tolerant of frustration, as everything you have built up over months can be lost in a battle or raid.

Furthermore, the tutorial reveals hardly anything about the actual game, and there are many reports of bugs and lags.

All this currently appeals to only a small portion of the MMORPG community. It is clear that momentarily popular are more casual online role-playing games, in which you can achieve results faster.

Players apparently want “simpler” MMORPGs

Which games are currently doing it better? The hardcore approach of Life is Feudal currently targets only a niche of players. Most players simply want titles that are easier to play. These include:

As you can see, MMORPGs remain popular. Just those online role-playing games that do not pursue a heavy hardcore approach and can be played “easier” – and even in between – and promise faster achievements.

Life is Feudal MMO barely aligns with what MMORPG fans currently seem to want. And that is why the game remains unsuccessful at present. A similar fate has befallen the MMORPG Wildstar, which was considered a hardcore MMORPG.

Why is that so curious? It is an interesting situation as many players often call for more “hardcore” and “casual MMORPGs” are frequently criticized. Players demand great challenges and do not want to be hand-held.

However, when such a game appears, success does not follow, as can be seen with Wildstar and now with Life is Feudal. Is it just a loud minority that demands hardcore MMORPGs? The success of online role-playing games that are more “casual” seems to support this thesis.

Even the director of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, has recognized the problem. Therefore, the MMORPG also offers smaller, easily digestible bites of content for players who have less time. Overall, Yoshida sees the problem with MMORPGs being the “time,” as these games compete with other leisure activities of the players and become more problematic the more time-consuming an online game is.

Thus, the discrepancy between what some players demand (hardcore) and what actually succeeds (casual) becomes apparent.

Black Desert: What players say about the beta of the MMORPG on the PS4

Alexander Leitsch 12. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Since Friday, the Open Beta for the MMORPG Black Desert Online has been running on the PS4. Players have now expressed their opinions on the implementation, and many of them are not satisfied.

How has the beta gone so far? The beta officially started on August 9 at 9:00 AM our time. While Americans were able to play Black Desert without issues, some EU players are still waiting for a login error to be resolved.

However, criticism has also come from Americans regarding the beta. Some have experienced performance issues or even crashes.

How long will the beta run? Those who want to see Black Desert on PlayStation must hurry. It will run until August 13 at 11:00 AM.

As a reward for participating in the beta, you will receive a special pet and a 10% discount voucher for the full version.

FPS Issues and Region Lock

How is the performance on the PS4? During the beta test for Black Desert, there seem to have been some performance issues. Many users have complained about it on Reddit:

Shadowmnn02: BDO doesn’t even reach 30 FPS. It hurts my eyes to play this game.
HereComesTiny: The PS4 port is a disgrace, and Pearl Abyss should be ashamed. It’s poorly optimized, plays terribly, and looks bad as well.
GamePlayHeaven: The performance on the PS4 is awful, the worst I’ve seen on PlayStation.
Badprawn: The biggest issue I’ve noticed is that damage is not registered instantly. First, nothing happens, and 10 seconds later, the enemies die instantly.

What else is bothering the players? Besides performance, there is criticism as well. It seems that some cutscenes appeared without audio, and the user cjwatts111 is complaining that the controller controls are not optimally resolved.

Another point of criticism in the beta was the region lock, which prevented European players from playing with friends overseas. However, this restriction is expected to be removed in the release version.

What do players praise? The beta’s performance has received much criticism, especially due to the significant issues in Europe.

However, some players have spoken out who are very excited about the porting to PlayStation. Many find the MMORPG itself successful, but the implementation must also be right.

The user llShenll wants to give BDO another chance because of the PS4:

I played the PC version, but stopped after a few months because there were many cheaters and bots. I want to give Black Desert another chance with the PS4 version.

Black Desert player count: How often has the MMORPG been sold on Xbox One

von Schuhmann

Can Pearl Abyss fix the issues in time? The release of Black Desert on the PS4 is scheduled for August 22. Until then, the developers have time to address the issues.

Some players, however, are also taking the situation calmly. Since Black Desert runs smoothly on Xbox One, they hope that Pearl Abyss will also optimize the PS4 version.

PS4 Version Lags Behind PC and Xbox

What can you experience on the PS4? The PlayStation version of Black Desert Online will start significantly behind the PC version, similar to the Xbox.

The first major difference lies already in the classes. On the PS4, you can only choose one of the six base classes. The PC already has the Shai as the 18th class.

The Xbox version also started in March of this year with the same six classes. However, you can now choose from twelve different classes.

When are the first expansions planned? Shortly after the release for Xbox One, there were plenty of updates. Similar hopes are held for the PlayStation.

At the Gamescom, there could be further information on this. A community manager apparently announced during the beta that a roadmap for Black Desert on PS4 would be presented there.

The aim should be to align the game versions of PS4 and Xbox One as quickly as possible.

The studio behind Black Desert recently announced a new MMORPG:

Patrick Freese 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Due to your successes in research, you have unlocked the Raid Day with Suicune in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the info from counters to shiny that you need to know for the event.

When is the Suicune Day? On August 17, 2019, the Raid Day with Suicune will take place. That is the upcoming Saturday. The event will be held from 4 PM to 7 PM, giving you three hours to battle the beast in raids.

What to expect on Raid Day with Suicune

What bonuses are there? As seen in past Raid Day events, the corresponding Pokémon will be available in raids during the event time. So you will see plenty of raids with Suicune in many gyms.

To encourage you to actively participate in these raids, there are free raid passes available for you. You can obtain up to 5 free passes from gyms during the event time.

Raikou, Entei and Suicune are coming back to Pokémon GO – Which one is worth it?

von Noah Struthoff

As a special highlight, Suicune will also be available in its shiny form. We will embed a comparison image here, showing the normal form and the shiny form of the Pokémon.

How to counter Suicune: About 3-5 players are needed for the battle against Suicune. Electric attackers are a good choice against Suicune. Bring the following attackers to perform well in the raids:

Raikou with Thunder Shock and Charge Beam
Zapdos with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Magnezone with Spark and Charge Beam
Luxray with Spark and Charge Beam
Electivire with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
Roserade with Razor Leaf and Grass Knot

Why is there the event? During the GO Fest in Yokohama, players were encouraged to research a lot in Pokémon GO. Completing this task rewards you with stardust bonuses on catches, raids, and egg hatches. Also, star pieces last longer.

This stardust event starts on Tuesday, August 13, in Pokémon GO.

Since all teams completed the global challenge, the Raid Day with Suicune will begin soon. This will unlock all bonuses for Blanche’s global challenge.

This is how trainers react: The Raid Day with Suicune is being actively discussed on social media. On Twitter, player @FischMaster3001 states that Suicune is not worth any premium passes and he will only use the free raids.

On Reddit user UltraGasi writes: “Wow, 5 free raids and then I’m going home. Still a bad Pokémon.”

Another user replies that the shiny form of Suicune looks cool. He also mentions that there is 3,000 stardust per raid. “With a star piece, that’s 4,500 stardust. The star pieces also last for an hour. Although the Pokémon is useless, there are many incentives for this Raid Day.”

Do you like the reward or would you have preferred a different Pokémon as a reward?

The officially best cosplay in the world is from Monster Hunter World – And this is how it looks

Irina Moritz 12. August 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

At the annual World Cosplay Summit in Japan, 77 cosplayers competed against each other this year. The winners were monstrous outfits from Monster Hunter World.

What happened at the World Cosplay Summit? Since 2003, the World Cosplay Summit has existed as a friendly international competition around Japanese pop culture.

In 2019, 77 teams from a total of 40 countries competed against each other and demonstrated their sewing and crafting talents on the stages in Tokyo and Nagoya.

A total of 8 teams made it to the finals, and the cosplays from Monster Hunter World were crowned winners.

Which armor won? The first prize was awarded to the two cosplayers from Australia. Their glowing Monster Hunter armors overshadowed the competition.

This is the special Azurstern armor, whose quest was only available in Japan for a long time. Monster Hunter has always been known for its elaborate and complex armors that even professional cosplayers find challenging to create.

On their social media accounts, the cosplayers Wirru and K Cosplay thanked for the many kind words and reiterated that creating such cosplays involves many months of hard work.

Destiny 2 actually alleviates the most annoying grind of the summer event

Sven Galitzki 12. August 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The 100 mini-boss kills for the Solstice armor are currently driving many Guardians crazy in Destiny 2. However, player criticism has not gone unheard. Bungie is responding and is about to make the most annoying grind of the Solstice event more bearable.

This is what the grind is about: Currently, the Summer event “Solstice of Heroes” is in full swing in Destiny 2.

Many Guardians are trying to upgrade their Solstice armor in this context. At some point, every player has to defeat 100 mini-bosses in the ELZ, a special event area on Earth. And it is exactly this step that has frustrated many players; many have expressed criticism on Reddit and other discussion platforms and demanded changes.

Now there is good news. Even though hardly anyone expected it – Bungie has actually announced changes that should make many players happy, especially those who still have this step ahead of them.

This is what Bungie wants to change: After the massive criticism, the developers have now reacted. As announced in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, Bungie has acknowledged that they may have overdone it with the requirements at this step.

Therefore, these requirements will soon be lowered. Instead of 100, you will now only need to defeat 50 mini-bosses in the ELZ for your Majestic Event armor. Currently, it is still 100.

If you also defeat the final boss of an ELZ run, you will receive 5 additional points credited to your progress. If you have already earned points for this step, they will remain after the changes.

When will the changes go live? You won’t have to wait long. The hotfix 2.5.2.1 for Destiny 2 will be released next Tuesday, August 13th. This will also bring the nerf to the annoying grind into the game.

11 Tips for the Solstice of Heroes in Destiny 2 that I wish I had known earlier

von Micha Deckert

What exactly is the problem with this step? Many players criticize that the task is very time-consuming and involves enormous grinding – especially when you are playing without a fixed team. Only kills that you personally contribute to the mini-boss count towards progress.

In one run, a random group can manage about 7 mini-bosses, of which you can deal damage to 4 or 5. This amounts to nearly 20 matches, which can take hours. It is already annoying with one character. If you want to earn the event armor for all three Guardians, the frustration factor can increase even more.

This leads to many teammates leaving after the mini-boss phase to start a new run directly. Unfortunately, this is currently an efficient method to get the necessary kills – the final boss currently does not count towards progress. This has made the grind even harder.

As a result, it often happens that you join a running match or directly into the boss phase of a run without a team, as players are already missing there, which means you can only achieve a few or even no mini-boss kills.

This is how the Guardians are reacting: This announcement is very well received by many Guardians. In a popular Reddit thread, players are mass thanking Bungie for listening to feedback and alleviating this annoying step.

Players without fixed teams, with little time, or multiple characters are now hopeful that they can still grab the armor in time.

Some even couldn’t believe it. There are multiple questions on whether this announcement is actually real or confirmed.

However, there are also some fans who do not like the announcement at all. These are usually Guardians who have already completed the annoying grind, sometimes multiple times. They are now upset that their achievement is devalued or that they had to do more work than many other Guardians will have to do starting Tuesday.

What do you think about this step? Is it the right decision or a slap in the face for all those who have already completed it? By the way, until the change is active, the following method might help you with this step:
