Destiny 2 will soon make weapon quests easier, for which some grinded forever

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Good news for everyone who still wants to earn the popular rocket launchers “The Summit” and “Wendigo GL3” in Destiny 2. The quests for these two top weapons are supposed to become easier soon.

What does Bungie have planned? As Bungie recently announced in its “This Week at Bungie” blog, the quests for the top weapons “The Summit” and “Wendigo GL3” are set to become more accessible, meaning easier.

This is good news for everyone looking to earn these two rocket launchers. Rocket launchers are currently all the rage, and these two specimens are among the best that Destiny 2 has to offer in its arsenal.

What exactly is changing with the quests? Bungie did not go into detail. The studio only mentioned that certain quest tasks will be adjusted based on player feedback.

Many fans are now assuming that the grind for the required kills for both weapons, as well as the medal requirements explicitly for The Summit, could be lowered. These aspects have been criticized by many Guardians as too grind-heavy, unnecessarily prolonged, or just downright annoying.

Recently, many players complained about the sometimes enormous grind for the new Iron Banner gear. Bungie responded and made improvements with Update 2.5.2 to the most heavily criticized quest steps.

When will it happen? Players will have to be a little patient. The changes are set to be implemented with Update 2.5.2.2 for Destiny 2, which is currently scheduled for release on September 3.

What are these weapons anyway? Both affected rocket launchers are known as top weapons. Bungie refers to special legendary firearms that are hidden behind lengthy quests and are associated with enormous effort and time. For this effort, Guardians are rewarded with weapons that are among the best that Destiny 2 has to offer – including these two specimens.

Both The Summit and the Wendigo GL3 live up to their designation as top weapons. Both are among the best boss-killers in Destiny 2 and are therefore highly sought after.

In our reader survey, they were voted into 3rd (Wendigo) and 4th (Summit) places among 13 candidates regarding the best top weapons in Destiny 2.

What was the problem with the quests? Even though these firearms are very popular, the quests and the associated grind are not for many Guardians.

The game makes you work quite hard for The Summit in the Crucible. You need to achieve a lot of rocket launcher kills in PvP, then collect Double Plays (taking out at least 2 enemies quickly in a row) and earn “Calculated Trajectory” medals.

In competitive PvP, you make progress more quickly, but in Quickplay, the path to The Summit can turn into a true grind-fest, where many a Guardian has frustratingly given up – especially if they don’t have strong feelings about the Crucible.

For the Wendigo as well, you have to work quite hard, but here at least only in the Vanguard strike playlist. However, it is still required to

  • achieve 1,500 rocket launcher final blows
  • land 500 multi-kills with a rocket launcher
  • and score 15,000 points (killing enemies), where your own deaths hinder progress

Only then can you claim the relatively new top weapon from the Vanguard for Season 7. For many players, this also feels like too much grind.

What do you think about Bungie’s plan to simplify the quests soon? Motivation for everyone who still wants them? Or a slap in the face for those who have already earned them?

Journalist defends games on US TV against Trump – Says what many gamers think

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The eSports journalist and expert Rod Breslau appeared on US television at Fox News to defend video games against the accusations of US President Donald Trump. He accused games of creating an environment that glorifies violence.

Where did the appearance take place? Breslau appeared on “The Daily Briefing” on the TV channel Fox News. Fox is considered “the home channel” of President Trump. It is the channel he watches himself, and where the president receives much support. The channel is accused of engaging in politics itself and inflaming sentiment with biased reporting.

In recent days, US Republican politicians have made statements about video games on this channel and the danger they pose. Shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, claimed 31 victims.

Trump-Rally
The US President attributed some blame to games for the recent shootings.

Games are everywhere – this violence only in the USA

This is what Breslau said: Breslau began his appearance by saying that he sees many guests and interviews on Fox News and it is very frustrating for someone who comes from the video game industry. He has been playing shooters for 15 or 20 years and has never felt the urge to harm someone.

He states that video games are a global phenomenon. They are played everywhere. But “these things” only happen in the USA and nowhere else.

Breslau calls the current accusations against video games “complete nonsense.” They sound like things people would have said 10 or 15 years ago against Grand Theft Auto, metal music, or Marilyn Manson. These accusations only serve to push aside the real issues at hand.

The real issues, according to Breslau, are guns and access to these guns.

Gamers are no longer basement dwellers

People have a false image of gamers, that they huddle in their basements playing games. Nowadays, everything is online; players communicate today – there are international competitions.

People meet, talk to each other, friendships are formed.

Games are something that brings players together and pulls them out of their hole.

Hillary Clinton and Take-Two CEO express similar views

Who else thinks this? Breslau presents arguments that gamers worldwide are currently expressing. The hashtag #VideoGamesAreNottoBlame trended on Twitter a few hours ago in response to Trump’s statements.

Breslau receives support from Hillary Clinton. She also attacks Trump’s arguments. Around the world, there are people who play video games or suffer from mental illnesses. The difference is the guns.

The CEO of Take-Two, Straus Zelnick, called Trump’s statements irresponsible and very disrespectful to the victims and their families. It is a fact that entertainment is enjoyed worldwide – but gun violence is unique to the USA.

Take-Two is the publisher of GTA 5, a game that has repeatedly been associated with the glorification of violence:

Hearthstone: Everything you need to know about the launch of “Saviors of Uldum”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The launch of “Saviors of Uldum” is approaching. We will tell you what you need to know for the new Hearthstone expansion.

Today, on August 6, 2019, a new expansion starts in Hearthstone. The “Saviors of Uldum” are being released and will bring fresh air to Blizzard’s digital card game. To ensure you are perfectly prepared for the launch, we have summarized all the important innovations in this article for you.

When does “Saviors of Uldum” start? The kickoff is at 7:00 PM, today on August 6, 2019. Please keep in mind that there have been small delays in the past or the login servers have been overloaded. If you want to start playing right at launch, you should bring some waiting time and patience in case the servers can withstand the rush again.

This heavy Hearthstone combo is only for sadists
von Cortyn

What are the major innovations? The perhaps most important innovations are a total of 135 new cards, including some really strong highlights. There’s even a card that always presents you with a perfect solution for the current battlefield.

Aside from the new cards, there are also new mechanics and the return of old card types.

  • Rebirth: Cards with this keyword will be resurrected with 1 health point after their first death and can continue fighting.
  • Plagues: Each class receives a powerful plague spell that (typically) affects both sides of the battlefield. Therefore, it must be used wisely.
  • Quests return: Each class is given a new, powerful quest. Quests start in the player’s hand and bring strong rewards when completed.

Is there something for free? Yes! Anyone who logs into the game within the first 90 days after release will receive some free rewards as an incentive.

  • A random legendary quest card from Saviors of Uldum
  • A quest chain that brings further rewards (probably card packs)
  • Additionally, there will be an adventure whose access should also be free – at least the first wing.

When does the solo adventure come? The solo adventure of “Saviors of Uldum” will be released later, specifically in September. However, there is still no exact date for it. An announcement from Blizzard is still pending.

What’s changing in the Arena: For fans of the Arena mode, there are also a few changes. The previous rotation will be lifted, instead, cards from other expansions will be available. The new rotation includes:

  • Basic Set
  • Classic Set
  • The League of Explorers
  • Journey to Un’goro
  • Knights of the Frozen Throne
  • Rastakhan’s Rumble
  • Saviors of Uldum

This means you should encounter new, exciting decks in the Arena, and of course, create interesting combinations yourself.

If you still want to pass the time for a few hours – just watch this video until the end:

Fans think: That’s why Pokémon Centers would be good for Pokémon GO now

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Fans of Pokémon GO have a big wish: They want Pokémon Centers in the game, as these would fit perfectly right now.

Why is this wish coming up now? After Team Rocket now appears in Pokémon GO, a Pokémon Center would also fit as another feature from the console games into the AR game.

On Reddit, some fans already have firm ideas about the feature and good ideas about what Pokémon Centers should be able to do.

Team Rocket
Could Pokémon Centers also come after Team Rocket?

This is what Pokémon Centers could look like in Pokémon GO

This problem currently faced by players: Those who fight against Team Rocket a lot need some potions and revives. However, many players are missing these, which is why the wish has come up that Pokémon can be healed in other ways.

von Noah Struthoff

Here’s how Pokémon Centers are imagined: Reddit user “ThisFalcon” has created a thread where he shares his idea for Pokémon Centers. The post has already received over 4000 upvotes.

He suggests that a Pokémon Center should work similarly to Team Rocket. So instead of a Rocket Stop, there should simply be a Pokémon Center Stop that heals all Pokémon when spun.

He proposes that in return, no field research or items should be obtained from the stop. Healing the Pokémon would be sufficient.

User “Gijswar8” goes even further. He says that Pokémon Centers should simply be a large building in the game, just like in the console games. Players could then go there to heal their Pokémon. Another player suggests that players could give candies or stardust for this.

Could this wish come true? So far, Niantic has not made any hints in this direction, but they have shown with Team Rocket that they can also bring features from console games into play.

A Pokémon Center would thus not be unthinkable. It would also be fitting that there could be a market where players can buy or sell items. Many trainers also wish for this.

What do you think? Are Pokémon Centers realistic in Pokémon GO?

In patch 8.2.5 of WoW, players hunt Furion – Does he belong to the good?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

Patch 8.2.5 of World of Warcraft continues the story of the dragon Wrathion. We reveal what he is up to.

Several days ago we reported that some characters in World of Warcraft have received a new model. This is usually a clear sign that the respective characters are gaining importance. Regarding Wrathion, the supposedly last black dragon, there is a new questline in Patch 8.2.5. We reveal what Wrathion is planning and what role he plays in the upcoming patch.

Spoiler warning: If you don’t want to know about Wrathion, his plans, and actions, you should not continue reading. You have been warned.

WoW Black Prince Wrathion
The Black Prince – Wrathion.

N’Zoth wants the black dragons: With Patch 8.2.5, N’Zoth is freed and his influence on the world is growing. Players notice this immediately in the Heart Chamber of Azeroth, as the Tauren spiritwalker Ebenhorn suffers. Ebenhorn is a black dragon who primarily walks through the world in his Tauren form. He complains that his mind is being attacked by N’Zoth and has increasingly stronger problems resisting the whispers of the Old God. After all, the black dragons were already under the control of the Old Gods back then – Deathwing being foremost.

The construct MOTHER wants to “cleanse” and destroy Ebenhorn immediately upon discovering the corruption, but Magni intervenes. He asks the players to find a salvation for Ebenhorn.

MOTHER wants to laser Ebenhorn – Magni is against it.

The players follow Wrathion’s trail: The champions of Azeroth hope for salvation from Wrathion, the self-proclaimed “Black Prince.” For a long time, he believed that he was the last black dragon and has gained a lot of knowledge over the years. As players, one follows his trail first to Pandaria, to the Tavern in the Mists, where his two bodyguards “Right” and “Left” can be found. They have clues for the player, but only reveal them after the watchful eyes of N’Zoth have been taken down. The Old God is also following the trail and trying to find Wrathion.

WoW Nzoth full artwork

Records reveal Wrathion’s journey: Gradually, the player receives more and more diary entries from Wrathion. He describes his journey, how he collects knowledge from different cultures. For instance, he visited the Shado-Pan and the Lorewalkers to hear stories about the Sha (which are born from an Old God). He has also infiltrated the library of Shen’dralar (Dire Maul) to study their knowledge, as well as Karazhan.

In the end, the players find out that Wrathion has managed to create an “antidote” that can dampen the whispers of the Old Gods. While this is only a first step, it could save Ebenhorn. The very potion needed has been left behind by Wrathion so that we can take it with us. He knew we would seek him out to save Ebenhorn.

Is Wrathion a “Good”? From the records, it is clear that Wrathion wants to redeem his name. He does not want to become like his father and hopes to rectify his past mistakes. This refers to the fact that he helped Garrosh enter the alternative timeline of Draenor (Warlords of Draenor). Seemingly, he truly wants to help the players and Azeroth to win what he calls the “true fight for Azeroth”.

Does Wrathion have dark plans? Whether Wrathion is truly good cannot be said yet. After all, the black dragon has intrigued and pursued dubious plans in the past. Moreover, it is suspicious that a final diary page is burned next to the saving potion on the floor. This could of course have been the recipe for the potion. But why would Wrathion not share this knowledge? After all, it could also help other beings afflicted by the whispers.

Wrathion himself does not appear in this questline, but there are many hints about him. He is apparently being slowly built up as an important character who will play a significant role in an upcoming patch or expansion. This fits well with the alleged leak of the next expansion “Shadowlands” – there are supposed to be the Dragon Isles as a new area, with Wrathion in an important role.

What do you think of Wrathion? Is this a character you would like to see more of? Or should the young dragon curl back into its egg?

Roblox has 100 million players per month, even more than Minecraft – But why?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The gaming sandbox platform Roblox has been around for some time and is becoming increasingly successful. Overall, the games via Roblox have more players than Minecraft!

What is Roblox? Behind Roblox is a large platform that is a mix of social media and a game development sandbox. You can create and design all sorts of games in Roblox using a simple scripting language and numerous building blocks.

The games, in turn, are displayed in a large database to all interested Roblox users. Additionally, there is the option to customize your own avatar to your heart’s content. Roblox is already 13 years old and has a lovable, blocky pixel look that somewhat resembles Lego or Minecraft.

Roblox and the games in it are so successful

How many players does Roblox have? According to the latest numbers published by the developers on their blog, there are now over 100 million players who check in at Roblox every month to play one of the many games there.

For comparison: The also extremely popular Minecraft among children and teenagers had only “91 million” monthly users in the last player report in March 2019.

roblox screenshot

However, the comparison to Minecraft is not entirely appropriate, as Roblox is a platform with thousands of games, while Minecraft is just a single game.

Why is Roblox so popular? Nevertheless, the 100 million users of Roblox is a significant achievement. The success is mainly due to Roblox being child-friendly and easy to use. Thanks to many filters and adjustments, parents can effectively control what their children are able to see.

roblox-jailbreak

Once that is ensured, creative minds can let loose in the game and unleash their creative urges. There are currently about 50 million user-generated contents on Roblox. Moreover, it runs on numerous platforms, namely PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Amazon devices, and Xbox One.

What does Roblox bring to developers? Since the game currency from Roblox can be exchanged for real money, some of the developers there are now quite wealthy. A prominent example is the creators of the popular Roblox game “Jailbreak.” In this game, robbers fight against police officers, and the developers have become millionaires according to Business Insider.

By the way, to celebrate the platform’s great success, there’s a set of shoulder parts in the shape of gold bars for your avatars for free.

CoD Modern Warfare eliminates the ladder, because you can’t trust strangers

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has already removed a cool feature before release – the so-called Buddy Boost. But why? And what exactly was this feature? The developers from Infinity Ward revealed this in an interview.

This is the feature: The release of Modern Warfare 2019 is approaching, and more and more features like the Gunsmith or the dynamic start sequences for multiplayer matches are becoming known.

The 2019 Modern Warfare reboot was almost given a Buddy Boost feature. This involved an interaction between two players to reach elevated positions and otherwise inaccessible areas of a map.

One player crouches. A second operator uses this crouching comrade as a pedestal and climbs up – essentially a human ladder. However, this feature did not make it into the final game.

It was ultimately removed by the developers, even though it had been in the game for more than a year.

It is too difficult to get random players to cooperate

Why was the feature removed? What sounds really cool in theory turned out to be difficult to implement in practice. In the end, it wasn’t possible to trust that players would cooperate with each other accordingly.

According to Multiplayer Map Design Director Jeffrey Smith, it’s really hard to get a random person to cooperate with you.

You would have to climb over someone and also rely on them to pull you up. Players simply wouldn’t cooperate often enough for it to be worthwhile in the end.

Especially since the crouching player had to remain in a disadvantageous position while being easily taken out by opponents. There were just too many question marks regarding the required teamwork.

Modern-Warfare-Team-Ops

This is how Modern Warfare was adjusted after the removal of the human ladder: However, the absence of the Buddy Boost feature contributed something good to Modern Warfare. Because of the failure of this idea, a different one emerged.

The development team loved that players could reach places on maps that remained inaccessible without the human ladder. Once this feature was removed, they decided to make the maps much more interactive and accessible, turning them into a kind of immersive playground with more possibilities than before.

Do you want to try Modern Warfare 2019 before its release? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released on October 25, 2019. However, there will be a beta phase in September where you can get your own impression of the upcoming shooter. You can find out more about it here: CoD Modern Warfare starts Open Beta in September with Crossplay

What do you think about the human ladder feature? Would you have liked to see it in the game, or was it the right decision to remove this system?

Red Dead Redemption 2 stagnates in 2019: Take-Two surprisingly strong

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The gaming publisher Take-Two had a strong quarter from April to June 2019. However, the successes are more attributed to a resurgence of the old GTA 5 and GTA Online . The newer Red Dead Redemption 2 and the online mode Red Dead Online are having some issues. However, Take-Two believes that Rockstar is on the right track.

What are these numbers? The numbers come from Q1 2020, which runs from April to June 2019.

Take-Two was able to present surprisingly strong numbers for the quarter. Although the stock price fell by 5% during the day on August 5,after US President Trump criticized video games, the stock price later rose by 6.7%.

As reported by Venturebeat:

  • analysts had forecast revenues of $356.9 million
  • but the actual revenues were $540.5 million – that’s 39% more than last year
GTA 5 Online Jimmy James Tracey
Still doing great in 2019 for Take-Two: Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5.

These are Take-Two’s strengths: The big winners are:

  • GTA 5 – which has now sold a total of 110 million units
  • NBA 2k19 – which has sold 12 million units
  • also older parts of the Borderlands series, which performed well during the quarter with the release of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

Microtransactions drive success

This is the decisive factor: What’s going up is the money that Take-Two earns with games that have already been purchased; microtransactions, DLCs, and add-ons. Particularly Grand Theft Auto Online and NBA 2k stand out here.

Revenues from microtransactions, the ongoing spending of players, increased by 31%.

These “ongoing expenses” of players now account for 58% of Take-Two’s revenue.

Red Dead Online Ancient Tomahawk

Red Dead Redemption 2 sells 1 million units in 3 months

What’s the flaw? The sales of Red Dead Redemption 2 are not going as strong when compared to GTA 5.

Take-Two had announced in the Christmas quarter that it had sold 23 million units. Now it’s 25 million. In the last 3 months, about 1 million units were sold.

The online mode, Red Dead Online, has not taken off as much as GTA Online. But Take-Two is optimistic that it will still get there.

It is said that Rockstar has plans to further develop the world of Red Dead Online. Both player counts and player spending have already increased and are expected to continue to develop positively.

Borderlands-3-Psycho
Borderlands 3: That’s coming too.

Here’s what’s next for Take-Two: For the future, Take-Two is looking forward to the release of Borderlands 3 in September.

Take-Two goes into the financial year and the next 9 months confidently with Borderlands 3, NBA 20k20, WWE 2k20, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, and The Outer Worlds. Take-Two believes it has the strongest development pipeline in the company’s history at the moment.

Check out fresh gameplay for Borderlands 3 – with plenty of Claptrap

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Fresh gameplay of Borderlands 3 shows Moze in action. As a “bonus”, there is plenty of chatter from Claptrap, the big general of the Crimson Raiders.

In a few weeks, the release of Borderlands 3 is finally coming. For many gamers, it is already the highlight of the year. Finally shooting around in Pandora again and looting everything in sight is a great temptation – paired with the cool Borderlands story. Now, 15 minutes of fresh gameplay have been released, showing the beginning of the shooter.

What can be seen? The video shows the first attempts of Moze, one of the four vault hunters from Borderlands 3. She is greeted by Claptrap and subsequently introduced to the game mechanics. Using weapons, movement, and so on. There is also some shooting, as Claptrap leads the vault hunter into a problematic situation, resulting in a fight against some psychos and bandits.

Also present is Lilith, who in Borderlands 3 (like Angel in Borderlands 2) provides hints and is simply projected right onto the screen.

In the last minutes, Moze’s mech can even be seen, which she can call in for the first time. As can be guessed, it does not end well for the bandits.

Recently, Borderlands 3 “accidentally” streamed 4 hours of gameplay on Twitch.

Borderlands 3 Clap Trap

Claptrap is coming along: Most of the time, you will be accompanied by Claptrap in the tutorial – this role he also fulfills in Borderlands 3. He introduces himself as the general of the Crimson Raiders (which he certainly is not) and hopes to become a “super general” of the Crimson Raiders for his grand performances (which does not happen). However, he excels in his task of showing the player the basics – that is, interacting with objects, completing missions, and of course looting everything that is not securely fastened.

Interestingly, the video does not spoil much. The first minutes are still quite unspectacular story-wise and serve more as an introduction to the game mechanics.

Fortnite: Runner-up must pay about $850,000 in taxes – Reacts wonderfully

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite the player Harrison “Psalm” Chang placed second in the solo event at the World Championship, earning 1.8 million US dollars in prize money. However, a significant portion goes to the tax office. His reaction to this in an interview is delightful.

How much did Psalm win and how much does he have to pay? Psalm won 1.8 million US dollars at the Fortnite World Championship solo. That’s about 1.6 million euros.

However, about half of that goes to taxes:

  • the city of New York alone, where the Fortnite World Championship took place, collects 8.82% in taxes
  • then there’s the top tax rate in the US of 39.4%

Thus, he effectively hands over about half of his winnings to the state and New York.

This is how Psalm reacts: In an interview with Fox Business Network, Psalm was explicitly asked how it feels when at least 50% of the income disappears. The interviewer appears quite amused and emphasizes how high the tax rate in New York is.

Psalm grimaces, thinks for a moment, and finally says: “I love America,” then there’s a pause: “But sometimes it can be tough.”

With the money, Psalm intends to buy a house and hopes that its value will increase.

Fortnite-Psalm-Lacht
Here Psalm can still laugh. That was before the question.

From the Hard Grind in Heroes of the Storm to Millionaire

Who is Psalm? Psalm was an outsider at the World Championship. The average age of the participating players was 16, one of the stars of the World Championship, King, was even only 13 years old. In contrast, Psalm, at 24, is well above average.

Psalm has already experienced what many competitors still have ahead of them: a career in eSports.

Originally, Psalm was a professional player of Blizzard’s MOBA “Heroes of the Storm.” He played from 2014 until the summer of 2018.

Heroes-of-the-Storm-02
In Heroes of the Storm, it’s about much less money – but it still requires hard training.

He then switched to Fortnite when eSports began to emerge there and it became clear what a hype it would be. Psalm said at that time that he believed he had what it takes to succeed in Fortnite if he gave it his all. He had a passion for the game and believed in June 2018 that it was time for a change.

This proved to be the right decision. A few months after his switch, Blizzard significantly reduced eSports for Heroes of the Storm and many HotS professionals sought new games.

Even before the major cuts at Heroes of the Storm, Psalm had decided to switch to Fortnite.

During his time as a professional in Heroes of the Storm, Psalm earned about $80,000 in prize money over the years (via liquipedia.net) – in Fortnite alone at the World Championship, he secured 1.8 million US dollars. So it won’t bother him too much that a lot of that melts away.

At the World Championship, Psalm finished solidly in second place, far behind the winner Bugha, but quite successful. Bugha had to pay even more taxes than Psalm.

Also, the music for Portkeys should no longer play if you have disabled it in the settings.

These changes were discovered by players themselves: Some changes were not officially announced in the update. On Reddit, player virodoran writes about changes he has found:

  • The collectible item Happy Toilet has visually changed
  • The Ministry ID appears larger on the map screen
  • The animation for masterful spells has been slightly altered and is now displayed every time
  • A new animation now lights up in the experience point display for collectible items
  • The interface for daily tasks has changed slightly. The completed tasks now appear at the top.

Still no Adventure Sync

What are players waiting for? Since the launch of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, players have been missing a feature they consider important. Adventure Sync. With this feature, the steps you take are counted even when the app is closed. This then counts towards your progress in Wizards Unite.

Pokémon GO, the predecessor of Wizards Unite from Niantic, already has the feature. Therefore, players know how convenient it is to have the kilometer progress counted, even when the game is closed.

On Reddit, a player asks under the update announcement: “Adventure Sync when?!” Also on Twitter, the responses to the update are heavily focused on this topic. It is clear that players are becoming impatient:

There is also a problem with the Auror talent “Dancing with Dummies”. The talent does not seem to be functioning as planned. Players are calling for the developers’ attention to fix the problem.

Have you already installed the new update? Do you miss Adventure Sync or do you not care?

The Division 2: How to open the locked loot rooms in Kenly College

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

The new expeditions of The Division 2 take you to the various sections of Kenly College. We will show you how to unlock the respective Secret Rooms in the library, subway, and student union to grab the daily loot – including the positions of the corresponding terminals.

What are expeditions? With Title Update 5, a new PvE activity was introduced – the expeditions. These are missions that take you to various areas of Kenly College outside of Washington D.C. and test your exploration, puzzle, and combat skills. The goal is to uncover the fate of a missing military convoy.

What are the loot rooms about? During the expeditions to Kenly College, you can secure daily loot from secret or locked rooms, called loot rooms. Each of the three college sections, namely

  • library
  • subway station
  • and student union

has its own loot room. However, these are locked and can only be opened during an active mission via one of the access terminals.

How do you get to Kenly College? You can start Kenly College via the map view or by speaking directly to the helicopter pilot at the operations base at the White House. This way, you can reach the college grounds. There, you can select the different wings and initiate a mission.

Note that a mission must be active to access the loot rooms.

Loot Room and Access Terminals in the Library of Kenly College

The library was the first expedition section that went live. There are a total of 5 terminals distributed throughout this college section. One of them opens the locked door to the supply room. So head to the entrance of the library and start a mission.

You can find the location of all 5 switches in this video (The clip starts directly with the mission’s start). Follow the agent’s run route until you encounter a terminal that grants you access to the loot room.

Trump lashes out against video games – shares of major publishers fall

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The US President Donald Trump has spoken negatively about video games following shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. He says we need to stop or reduce the violent culture. The stock prices of Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty), Take Two (GTA 5), and EA (Battlefield 5) fell by several percent on August 5.

This is what Trump said: Trump addressed the gruesome incidents in El Paso and Dayton, where 31 people lost their lives.

He said:

“We must stop the glorification of violence in our society. This includes cruel and gruesome video games that are commonplace today. It is too easy for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence.

We need to stop it or significantly reduce it, and it must start immediately. A change in culture is hard, but each of us can choose to create a culture that celebrates the value and dignity of every human life. We must do this now.”

GTA 5 OnlineGunrunning 10
GTA 5 is often criticized when it comes to video games.

The president sees partial blame on the internet. We must recognize that the internet provides a dangerous access point through which confused minds are radicalized.

The shooter in El Paso had shared a “manifesto” on the internet forum 8chan – as a result, the company Cloudflare distanced itself from the forum. They had previously provided protection for the website.

Just in the past days, leading US Republican politicians have spoken critically about video games.

Famous Twitch streamers associated with games like Call of Duty or Fortnite criticized the politicians’ statements and the media coverage. They called for strict gun laws.

call-of-duty-modern-warfare-titel-multiplayer-stream-01

Stock Market Reacts with Falling Prices

This is how the stock market reacted: Overall, the US stock market fell after the incidents. But especially video game companies were apparently hit hard by the fluctuations. As Marketwatch reports, video game companies suffered significant price losses between 4 and 6%, after Trump criticized the glorification of violence (via Marketwatch).

This is how the stocks fell on August 5:

  • Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty) from €43.56 to €41.44
  • Take-Two (GTA 5 Online) from €108.86 to €101.42
  • EA (Battlefield 5) from €84 to €79.10

Take-Two presented excellent quarterly numbers after the stock market closed, which then pushed the price back up. Especially GTA 5 Online is performing excellently.

Trump’s statements have drawn criticism. For instance, e-sports journalist Rod Breslau has commented critically on it:

Teamfight Tactics: Crazy bug makes champions fight against their own team – Again

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In Teamfight Tactics there is a new bug where the champion Yasuo attacks his own team. This was experienced live by streamer DisguisedToast. It is not the first time that champions rebel against their masters.

What kind of bug is this? In this new bug in TFT, Yasuo uses his ability Steel Tempest and hits allies. Instead of enemy champions, the own ones are thrown into the air by the whirlwind.

It is not the first time that a champion has rebelled against his allies. Streamer Scarra has already had major issues with Elise.

Who has already been affected by the bug? The bug with Yasuo was experienced live by streamer DisguisedToast yesterday in a stream. He faced off against player Mister Lau, who also had a Yasuo on the board.

After about 13 seconds of combat, Yasuo from DisguisedToast launched his whirlwind from left to right across the field. While he killed the opposing Leona, he simultaneously threw the allies Volibear and Ahri into the air.

The opposing Yasuo was frozen at that time and did not intervene in the events.

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

Link to the Twitch content

Did the bug cost DisguisedToast the game? Even before Yasuo threw his allies into the air, it was clear that the streamer would lose the duel.

This was mainly due to the opposing Draven, who, as a two-star ranged champion and equipped with three items, could attack permanently. Nevertheless, more opposing champions would probably have died, and DisguisedToast would have taken less damage.

In the end, however, this does not matter. The streamer won the entire game with 6 remaining health points. The reason for this was the powerful Volibear and Cho’Gath, who is very strong since the latest patch.

LoL Bloodmoon Yasuo

How did the bug occur? It is currently not known how exactly the error occurred. However, it does not seem to be the only time Yasuo has hit allies with the whirlwind.

Players are already joking that Yasuo is just following his lore. The Ionian was cast out by his people because he was accused of having killed his master.

Later, it turned out that Riven was responsible for the murder, but at that time Yasuo had already taken the lives of other Ionians and even his brother in battle for his freedom.

With the next patch, four new champions with their own origins are set to come to the game:

That’s why many Guardians in Destiny 2 fear: I have to grind for 7 days now

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Many players are currently wondering if they only have one week left for the masterwork version of the new Solstice armor in Destiny 2. Because only in the next 7 days can a quest be completed during the summer event.

Guardians faced this problem: While numerous Guardians are grinding to upgrade the Solstice armor from “Void” to “Renewed” and then from “Renewed” to “Majestic”, some players have already discovered a problem that arises afterwards:

Those who want to upgrade the armor from “Majestic” to the masterwork version apparently have the chance to do so only in the next 7 days.

Here’s the reason: For one of the armor pieces, you need to play the dungeon “The Shattered Throne” in the Dreaming City – and that with a maximum of 2 players in the fireteam.

However:

  • The Shattered Throne can only be played in the 3rd curse week of the Dreaming City.
  • From August 6 at 7 PM to August 13 at 7 PM, this 3rd curse week runs – so from this evening for 7 days
  • The next 3rd curse week won’t happen again until August 27.
  • However, the “Solstice of Heroes” event ends on August 27.

This means that the upcoming Destiny 2 week is the only week during the summer event in which the 3rd curse week is active.

Do you have to rush through the armor tasks now and play day and night to be able to obtain the masterwork armor?

Here’s what Bungie says: As more and more Guardians discovered this time problem, questions about the masterwork Solstice armor piled up on social media. Bungie’s community manager dmg04 has now responded to this:

“You can make the armor masterwork after the event ends.”

This makes it clear: You can take your time with the masterwork version. You don’t have to power through in the next 7 days.

On Twitter and reddit, Guardians express relief over this news. It makes things much easier and better. It is a great relief not having to get everything done this week.

By the way: For the triumph moment, that you need to make the Solstice armor masterwork, according to user reports, you only need one Solstice armor piece as a masterwork. So, you are not dependent on the 3rd curse week for this triumph.

You need to obtain the Majestic Solstice armor before the end of the summer event if you want to have it in your possession.

How far have you upgraded your Solstice armor?

What is the Solstice armor anyway? At the end of July, Guardians received a battered armor from Eva Levante. By completing several lengthy tasks, you can gradually upgrade the armor – all the way to masterwork. We list all the steps here:

You will soon be able to reserve your names in WoW Classic

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In a few days, name reservation for World of Warcraft Classic will begin. Those who want their name should hurry.

In a few weeks, it will finally happen, then World of Warcraft Classic will be launched. Players can then experience the “classic” Azeroth again and level up in the world before The Burning Crusade, tackle raids and become masters of their professions. However, to ensure that every player is guaranteed to get the name for their character that they want, there will be a name reservation beforehand. This will be next week.

When will the name reservation take place? On August 12 at midnight (i.e., from August 12 to August 13), the name reservation for WoW Classic will begin. You should have already downloaded the game client to participate in the reservation.

WoW Ragnaros Classic title thirteenth attempt please please 2

How does the reservation work? To participate in the reservation, you must have an active subscription to World of Warcraft. Afterwards, you can log in to the servers of your choice at the aforementioned time and create up to 3 characters, securing their names.

When will there be information about the servers? The exact server list will be published by Blizzard “later this week.” This is to give all players enough time to agree on a server and faction with their friends. Just recently, Blizzard granted players German realms after there were loud protests.

By the way, you can own a maximum of 10 characters per server and 50 characters across all Classic realms – regardless of how many you own in the “normal” version of World of Warcraft.

FIFA 19: The best player in the world is a German – This is what makes him so good

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

The German FIFA professional MoAuba sensationally wins the FIFA eWorld Cup in London. But what makes the newly crowned world champion so strong in FIFA 19? We take a look at his tactics.

At the FIFA eWorld Cup in London, MoAuba sensationally managed to win the world champion title in FIFA. The path was anything but easy.

This is how the World Cup went for MoAuba: The German FIFA professional from SV Werder Bremen qualified with 31 other players for the FIFA eWorld Cup, the official FIFA 19 World Championship.

Until the semifinals, the FIFA professional made it without major problems. But then he faced nicolas99fc. This match was a showdown of giants and could only be decided by a dramatic penalty shootout. MoAuba won this 4:3.

Next, he faced the previously undefeated defending champion Mosaad from Saudi Arabia in the final.

In the first leg of the final, on the unfamiliar Xbox One, MoAuba even managed a strong 1:1.

After that followed the really exciting second leg of the final on the Playstation. MoAuba was able to win this with a score of 2:1 after taking a 2:0 lead. This secured him the world champion title and a prize of 250,000 US dollars.

Who is MoAuba? Mohammed Harkous is a German FIFA professional from SV Werder Bremen. He is already a 4-time German champion and now world champion in FIFA. On the Playstation, he ranks 5th in the world ranking.

He is also part of the newly founded German FIFA national team.

MoAuba has already had the opportunity to play FIFA 20 and share his impressions:

von Julian Schröder

What makes the first German world champion so good?

This is his team: Of course, MoAuba also has a top team in FIFA 19. This consists of many Icon cards and top FUT cards. Absolute highlights are Cristiano Ronaldo (TOTS), Prime-Icon-Ronaldo, and Neymar (TOTS).

This is an incredibly strong offense. But the opponents’ teams also have FUT cards of the same quality.

MoAuba starts with the following team:

  • Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Neymar Jr
  • Gullit
  • Havertz
  • Vieria
  • Ronaldo
  • Mendy
  • Varane
  • Van Dijk
  • Da Costa
  • Van der Sar

This is his tactic: On his YouTube channel, MoAuba has presented his tactics for the FIFA World Cup again, where he explains that he switches to a 4-1-2-1-2 formation with a narrow diamond when behind. A rather unusual setup in the professional field.

Here he chooses the setting “Quick Build-up” and additionally instructs his players to apply constant pressure. This gives MoAuba absolute dominance in attack. Many players offer themselves and are in the opponent’s half, always ready to receive the deadly pass.

Link to the Twitter content

A pretty dangerous tactic, but one that can definitely pay off. The only important thing is that it is not played from the beginning. Otherwise, too many spaces are left open and the players get tired quickly.

This is his play style: MoAuba is particularly praised for his technical skills, especially in defense. The FIFA professional has perfected this. He masters player switching flawlessly and is always present with a defender. He often anticipates the opponent’s passes and closes off passing lanes. A really strong way of playing that requires immense practice and training.

On reddit , he is also recognized for rarely exploiting the meta of FIFA 19 and thereby abusing game mechanics. This is not the case for many professionals.
