The mechs are supposed to be one of the highlights in Season 10 of Fortnite . However, various pros, such as streamer Tfue, are annoyed by the powerful robots.
These are the mechs: Since the start of Season 10, these robots have been in the game. You can get into the mechs as a duo, easily flatten entire houses, and shoot with large rockets.
For many players, the mechs are just too strong. They are difficult to defeat and often determine the outcome of a game.
The mechs are so unpopular among the pros
What do the pros say? The famous streamer and World Cup participant Tfue already harbors a real hatred for the combat robots. In various clips, you can see how he gets taken out by the mechs and has almost no chance of survival.

Out of his anger towards the robots, a laugh eventually emerged. When his duo partner Cloak first complained about a mech in his area and then got eliminated, Tfue just started laughing.

Other personalities are also annoyed by the robots. Streamer CouRage sees leaving the match as the only alternative to counter the mech. He says that 80% of his recent matches have been decided by the mech.

Are the mechs really such a problem? For the pros, the combat robots are a big problem. After all, it doesn’t take much skill to flatten buildings with a robot and shoot wildly.
However, since the mech has so many hit points, it cannot be taken down quickly. The best option is to just flee. However, the later it gets in the endgame, the harder it is to flee. A mech often decides the outcome at the end.
How does Epic respond? An official statement from Epic regarding the mechs is still pending. However, a message from an “Epic Games expert” appeared on Reddit , where he supposedly responded to a player’s email to Epic.
This is the response received by the Reddit user
In it, he says that they want to nerf the mech soon and apologizes for the inconveniences caused by the robot. However, whether this is actually an official response from Epic remains to be seen.
If a nerf comes, it should be in the upcoming updates. It will be interesting to see how Epic tries to make the robot weaker.
What do you think? Does the robot need a nerf or is it good that it is so strong?
Fans have suspected Crypto as the next legend of Apex Legends for quite some time. Now, an employee has reignited this suspicion with a teaser. We will reveal what we know so far.
What does this hint mean? Developer Tina Sanchez posted some images and comments on Twitter. The images show her in a motion capture suit, which is used to record lifelike movements for characters.
The images were simply titled: “Working on Apex Legends stuff.” When asked by a fan if this was about Crypto, only a mouthless smiley was returned as a reply. This fuels the rumor mill.
What’s in favor of Crypto: Crypto was introduced as a possible legend with the start of Season 2. His name appeared early in the game files, and in the trailers and teasers for Season 2, there were several scenes that hinted at the hacker.
The videos show an unseen person typing something on a laptop and apparently distributing a hack or malware.

Shortly after, the Repulsor Tower collapses, destroying part of the map and the island’s protection. This caused the changes for Season 2.
What we know about Crypto: So far, only speculation surrounds what Crypto’s abilities might be. They are said to have something to do with hacking and technology. It’s conceivable that Crypto:
can foresee the ring or perhaps drops, similar to Pathfinder
gets some sort of EMP attack
can disrupt enemy shields or abilities
can attack with his sword that hangs on his back
More is known about his appearance. An image of Crypto emerged early on. In the artwork of Pathfinder, a person in a yellow jacket can be seen on a banner behind the robot, which is supposed to represent Crypto.
If he can really deal well with fortified positions using his abilities, he would already be a counter to the new legend Wattson. However, it is still unclear what he will actually be able to do.
When will Crypto arrive? So far, it is unknown when or if Crypto will appear at all. Season 2 is expected to end in October. However, if the animation recordings are indeed for Crypto, he could still make it to Apex Legends during that time.
However, there are currently very few hints about Rosie. The data miner That1MiningGuy only states that Tina Sanchez’s size and stature might not fit Crypto, but rather could align with Rosie (via Dexerto). She might also come after Crypto. Until more is known, the many players of Apex Legends can only wait and see:
The new models for Goblins and Worgen in World of Warcraft are finally here. Check out the differences to the current appearance!
With Patch 8.2.5, Blizzard is finally fulfilling a long-standing promise and giving two more races a visual overhaul. The Worgen and Goblins from World of Warcraft are finally getting new models. This affects not only the player characters but also all NPCs belonging to these factions.
To enlarge the respective images, simply click on them.
Image source: wowhead
These are the new Goblin models: The changes in male Goblins are hardly noticeable at first glance, but they can clearly be seen in the faces. The head shape has changed a bit, appearing more angular and no longer as bulky.
Image source: wowhead
Much more noticeable are the changes in the female Goblins. Especially the faces are now much softer, and the facial features appear more feminine, without losing the sneaky expression.
Image source: wowhead
These are the new Worgen models: In the case of the Worgen, the improvements are more noticeable due to the size of the character model. In males, the face shape is particularly striking.
Image source: wowhead
Now you can see much more of the Worgen’s eyes, which are no longer slitted. The intense eye colors make it all the more threatening and wild than before.
Female Worgen receive a lot of praise: Blizzard has been praised for the design of the female Worgen so far. They were previously mocked by many players as they had more of a “Chihuahua” look than resembling a type of dark werewolf. With Patch 8.2.5, female Worgen now look much more wolf-like and their lips are closed.
However, there is also criticism. Some players believe that the female Worgen now look too much like “Disney”.
When will the models be available? The new models will be available to players with the release of Patch 8.2.5. While the patch does not have a fixed date yet, if Blizzard sticks to its previous plans, the release should take place around mid-September.

The end of Season 17 in Diablo 3 is in sight. The start of Season 18 follows shortly after. Everything you need to know.
When does Season 17 end? In the forums of Diablo 3, Community Manager Nevalistis has now announced that S17 will end on Sunday, August 18, 2019. Here in Germany, it is supposed to be finished at 5:00 PM.
When does Season 18 start? The developers did not want to reveal an exact start date yet. It is said that they will announce the date when they release the preview for Season 18. And that is supposed to happen before the end of Season 17.
It is suspected that after the end of S17, there will be about a week to two weeks of pause before the new season begins.
Season 18 could start on August 23 or August 30.
This is happening in S18: The new chapter will start with Patch 2.6.6. And here Blizzard has come up with some changes to make the game interesting.
when players stay in this circle. The idea behind it is that the Season buff should be helpful for all players – no matter how far they have progressed in the current season.
Additionally, a new Legendary gem will come into play that has captivated players. With the “Legacy of Dreams” gem, players receive the buff from Legacy of Nightmares. Instead of wearing two rings, you can comfortably wear one gem. The Legacy of Dreams is likely to define Season 18.
In Destiny 2 , the Solstice of Heroes is currently in full swing, and many Guardians are chasing the corresponding event armor. If you want not only the armor itself but also a specific roll, you should keep a little something in mind – it might be worth it.
I have the armor – now what? Once you have earned the legendary set, you can further masterwork it and/or chase your personal desired roll. Because the armor has been brought up to Year 2 standards for the Solstice 2019 – it comes with corresponding mod slots and random rolls. With a bit of luck, you can not only look stylish but also align the armor functionally with your playstyle.
Here’s what you should consider while hunting for your desired roll: In order to hunt for different rolls on the Solstice armor, you first need to earn the legendary (majestic) armor set for the respective class.
Once you have done that, this armor will be added to the loot pool of the Solstice packages. Consequently, alongside rare and legendary gear, enhancement cores, and materials, legendary set pieces can now also drop from Solstice packages. You will receive these packages during the event.
Anyone wanting to pursue a specific desired roll should pay attention to the following:
First, refrain from opening Solstice packages.
Collect these packages and stash them until you have earned a majestic (legendary) set.
When you open them afterward, they can now contain random set pieces with random rolls.
By the time you have earned a legendary set, you should already have accumulated quite a few packages, if you haven’t opened them yet. This gives you a good additional chance to get your desired roll on the event armor pieces.
What makes the Solstice armor interesting: The cool thing is: the Solstice armor can roll with improved perks as one of the few legendary sets in the game. So you not only have the chance for a desired perk, but this can also be stronger than most of the other armor pieces in the game – another reason why opening the packages at the right time is worth it.
Here’s how you get the Solstice packages: You receive these packages from the chests at the end of the combat meditations in the European Air Zone (ELZ). You can open the chests with Solstice Key Fragments, which you receive by completing any activities during the Solstice of Heroes.
After the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, the debate over violent video games has flared up again in the USA. Republican politicians see video games like Call of Duty as partially responsible. Fortnite is also being dragged into the debate.
In recent days, there have been two mass shootings in the USA:
A shooter killed 20 people and injured 26 others in a shopping center in El Paso, a border town with Mexico
In Dayton, Ohio, a man killed nine people and injured at least 27 others
Both atrocities occurred within 24 hours.
Video games dehumanize people
This is what the Republican group leader says: American politician Kevin McCarthy is the Republican group leader in the US House of Representatives. The Republicans are the more conservative of the two US parties. President Donald Trump is also a member of their party.
McCarthy says video games contribute to the dehumanization of people. For him, video games in which players shoot at others have always been a problem for future generations.
Looking at photos, one can find similar scenes in video games.
We have always had weapons – but video games are new
This is what Dan Patrick says: The Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, expressed similar sentiments: He said that in the shooter’s manifesto, he talked about living out his super-soldier fantasy in Call of Duty. Patrick questions how long the video game industry will be allowed to continue and remain ignored. He sees the federal government primarily responsible.
According to Patrick, there have been studies that say video games influence people and others that say they do not.
But as a father and grandfather in his 60s, he asks himself: “What has changed in the country? We have always had weapons, there has always been evil, but what has changed since we have had so many mass shootings? And I see the video game industry teaching young people to kill.”
This is what a former FBI agent says: Maureen O’Connell used to work for the FBI. She speculated on FOX that the shooter surely spent 6 to 8 hours playing one of these shooters like Fortnite, where you do nothing but dehumanize people by shooting them in the head.
She sees “soft” parenting methods as part of the problem.

The Pokémon GO Festival in Japan is approaching and brings Shiny Quapsel with it. Additionally, all previous Hat Pikachu will be available.
What kind of event is this? After the GO Fests in Chicago and Dortmund have already taken place, Yokohama now follows. Just like at the other events, there will be a new Shiny here as well.
However, the Japanese event brings another bonus. Since the Pikachu Outbreak is taking place in Japan simultaneously, all previous Hat Pikachu will also be catchable worldwide.
All about Shiny Quapsel and the Hat Pikachu
When is the event? According to the Twitter announcements, the Pokémon will come at different times:
The Hat Pikachu will be available from August 6 at 3 AM until August 12 at 10 AM
Shiny Quapsel will be available from August 6 at 3 PM and will likely remain until the end of the GO Fest, which is also August 12 at 10 AM
What do we know about Shiny Quapsel? If the introduction goes as it did for Shiny Seeper and Shiny Nidoran, it should also be found somewhat more frequently in the wild. At least as long as the event lasts.
The Shiny family of Quapsel
Shiny Quapsel is significantly brighter than the normal one, and you will recognize it at the latest during its final evolution.
With this image, Niantic introduces the Hat Pikachu
Some of these Pikachu were also available as Shiny. It remains to be seen whether all these Pikachu will now be available as Shiny due to the event.
Another Shiny could come: Some players speculate that Shiny Hoppspross could also make an appearance. It can be seen in the announcement image for the GO Fest and is otherwise not very useful. A Shiny version would definitely make sense. However, this is not confirmed.
How such an event works: In line with Quapsel, there will likely be other Pokémon that will appear more frequently. This was already the case during the events in Dortmund and Chicago.
In addition to the GO Fest, there is also an event with gifts and a new Shiny starting today:
The last season of Hearthstone was extremely unpopular. The blame was on a new format, which Blizzard immediately buried again.
In the previous season of Hearthstone, there was a lot of criticism directed at Blizzard. A new tournament format had ensured that the matches became boring and especially the viewers experienced little variety.
That is why the “Grandmasters” tour has now decided not to play the “Specialists” format in the next season, but to return to “Conquest,” while bringing some improvements.
Players were only allowed to play one class – fans found it boring
What was the Specialists format? In the Specialists format, players were only allowed to play one class. One deck was then chosen as their “main deck,” and the other two decks had to belong to the same class. Only a handful of cards were allowed to differ, leading to many variations of the same deck being seen.
For many viewers, this was boring, as the adjustments to the decks were often minimal and the same strategy was often seen repeatedly.
Dozens of Control Warriors – exciting is something else.
What changes with the Conquest format? In the Conquest format, players must now bring 4 decks, all from different classes. Each player can then “protect” one deck. This deck cannot be selected to be removed by the opponent.
After both players have protected a deck, the opponent selects one of the remaining three decks that cannot participate. With the three decks that each player still has, they play until one player has won two matches. That player is the winner of the match.
Grandmasters is set to become more dynamic: For 2020, Blizzard announced that the spots in the Grandmasters tournament will be more freely accessible. Currently, it is the case that the professionals in the tournament can hardly lose their position. Only two of the 48 professionals can drop down, allowing newcomers to rise. This was considered extremely elitist and static. In the future, they want to increase this number but have not provided any specific details yet.
Do you think the changes to the eSport of Hearthstone are good? Or did you like the Specialists format?

The “High Moon Studios” were assigned in 2015 by Activision Blizzard as a support studio to Bungie’s partners to work on Destiny and Destiny 2. Now, it is known what they are doing after separating from Activision Blizzard and Bungie: They are assisting with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
What kind of studio is this? The “High Moon Studios” were formerly known as “Sammy Studios” and were founded in Carlsbad, California.
They are known for their work on the Transformers games between 2010 and 2012. Those were still released under their own name.
Shortly thereafter, High Moon Studios officially announced that they are working on Destiny with their 100 employees.
Thus, the studio later announced its collaboration on Destiny.
The celebrated campaign made by Forsaken
What was strange about Destiny: Even though High Moon Studios was recruited in 2015 as a support studio for Bungie, their actual work was consciously recognized in public only really in 2018.
After the end of the partnership, Activision laid off some employees
The idea behind it was: Activision Blizzard wanted to solve Bungie’s content problem with the “High Moon Studio”. Because they could not produce content for Destiny as fast as the fans were consuming it. Bungie had about 700 employees, but that was still not enough.
What are they doing now? As it has now been revealed, Activision Blizzard has found a new use for the studio. They are assisting Infinity Ward in the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Along with Beenox and Raven Software, High Moon Studios are also involved in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. They are supposed to provide overall support there.
The studio has experience with Call of Duty. In 2014, they developed the “Xbox 360” and “PS3” versions for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
In Pokémon GO Stolloss is not really a good choice in battles. However, two trainers are proving that the Pokémon is quite strong against Rayquaza.
What did the two players achieve? They defeated the current raid boss Rayquaza in a duo using only Stolloss. While Rayquaza is easy to defeat with two, it’s quite difficult to do so with Stolloss. The Pokémon’s stats are just too poor.
Nevertheless, Stolloss shines here, as one can exploit Rayquaza’s weakness and finally use the Pokémon effectively.
On Reddit, the trainers are being celebrated for this action. After all, Stolloss is generally hated, but here you can see that it can do something after all.
2 Stolloss teams can actually defeat a Rayquaza
How to defeat Rayquaza using only Stolloss
Why is Stolloss so bad and hated? The Steel and Rock-type Pokémon is mostly despised by competitive players. It is suggested in almost every raid, even though it is simply bad.
The stats of Stolloss make it quite useless. It is not a good attacker and not even good as a defender.
This is what two players are showing now: The well-known trainer “kiengiv” has previously achieved spectacular duos. Now he shows with his teammate “SparklTangerine” that a team of 6 Stolloss is sufficient against Rayquaza:

How is this possible? In the last change of moves, Niantic finally gave Stolloss a Rock-type quick move. It now has the move set Rock Throw and Stone Edge.
Additionally, Stolloss’s endurance is an advantage. Each trainer lost just 4 Stolloss and did not have to revive any Pokémon. This saves a lot of time.
Finally, the two trainers also benefit from weather bonuses. Stolloss is therefore stronger than usual. That’s the only way to succeed.
Despite the video, you should not use Stolloss in any raid
Is Stolloss a good counter? Even though the two players showed here that Stolloss is not so bad, it remains no top counter.
They are fighting here with 6 Stolloss at the highest level. You would need to invest a lot of dust to build such a team. So it is better to stick with Mamutel, Snibunna, and Glaziola against Rayquaza. This way you can defeat the legendary Pokémon much easier.
Have you heard about the new gift event in Pokémon GO?
The players are celebrating the release of a very specific item in GTA 5 Online at the casino shop. It is a yellow dog statue: Yellow Dog with Cone.
What is special about the statue? With the announcement of the casino in GTA Online, a shop page also went online. It showcased the new items for the penthouse and exclusive outfits that players can earn in the casino.
Below was the “Yellow Dog with Cone” statue. It is an abstract imitation of a sitting dog wearing a cone collar. And apparently, this dog has charmed the GTA 5 community. Because when the casino went online and the dog was missing from the shop, the disappointment was great.
In several Reddit threads and on social media, such as Twitter, players are asking where the dog statue has gone. To emphasize their demands, fans of the yellow dog even created their own subreddit .
How does the community react? But now, a week later, this significant flaw in the casino shop has finally been fixed. For a mere 41,500 chips, you can finally call this masterpiece your own.
The arrival of the dog statue was celebrated on Reddit and social media with several posts and threads. Under the announcement tweet there were numerous comments stating that they have now bought the dog. Players also posted screenshots of themselves and their dog statues.
If you want to get the yellow dog statue for your own penthouse, you need to hurry. One cannot predict when the item will be available again once the content of the shop has changed.
Why is the dog so popular? Players are sure to have various reasons for their enthusiasm. For some, the dog statue in GTA 5 Online may be understood as an “ironical comment” on modern artworks in the real world, of which no one knows why exactly they are art, but people place them in their luxury apartments for an unbelievable amount of money.
And in GTA Online, wealthy players can now also be such eccentric art collectors.
In Destiny 2 , first images of the new Shadowkeep armor and new weapons have been released. Warlocks need to be strong now.
Where do the images come from? Both Bungie and the official Destiny 2 page on Steam have recently released fresh images of the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion. For the first time, new armor pieces and weapons can be seen that you can obtain in “Season of the Shadows.”
On the left, you see the Titan in new armor. This is reminiscent of an astronaut suit. In his hand, he presumably holds a shotgun.
In the middle stands the Hunter in new attire with a sidearm.
On the right, the Warlock shows his new armor. On his back, he carries a sword, and in his hand, he presumably has a scout or automatic rifle.
What do Guardians say about this armor? Many players are laughing and crying about this Shadowkeep armor on Reddit. There is no doubt that this is the “Moon Set,” but from a design perspective, Bungie hasn’t done anything particularly great.
“I’m not sure how well a spacesuit from the 1970s holds up against blaster fire, void rays, and arc projectiles,” jokes one Guardian.
Another says Bungie definitely needs to change the armor designers.
“They look terrible” or “Thanks, I hate it” is also being read.
Overall, most Guardians find these armor pieces funny or just ugly and unworthy of a Guardian. Especially the Warlock helm is being ridiculed:
What do Guardians say about the Warlock helmet:
“Did the Warlock just shoot a bird and decide to wear its body on his face?”, asks one. Because around the helmet is a feathered, strangely designed mask.
One mentions that the mask looks like the Warlock landed directly in front of a pigeon while teleporting, which is now squished on his helmet.
And one Guardian writes: “As a Warlock, I personally feel harassed.”
Another user sums it up this way:
Titan: “I am an astronaut!”
Hunter: “I am a creepy guy!”
Warlock: “Hey guys, look what I found at the flea market!”

In Red Dead Online, 3 new roles are set to be introduced this summer. For many animal lovers, one of the jobs fulfills a long-held wish: a dog is coming.
What is this highlight? Those who have closely examined the announcement of the 3 jobs will have seen that pets will soon be available in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2.
So, the trader is supposed to get a loyal companion who will warn of impending attacks on the camp. Fans are already excited because pets have been long desired.
How excited players are about dogs in Red Dead Online
What do players say? In the Subreddit of Red Dead Online, the announcement of the 3 jobs was celebrated with many upvotes. However, the top comments were mostly about the joy over the trader’s loyal companion.
The trader will also have a dog
So, one user writes ProbablyFear: “The most important new feature: DOGS!” and receives a lot of support.
Another user responds: “Oh my god, did they listen to my suggestion? I mean, other players must have suggested it too, but this is just great.”
What do players wish for? From the brief announcement that traders will have dogs, there wasn’t much information.
Players currently hope that the dog will accompany them in the open world and not just wait for them at the camp.
Pets have long been desired in Red Dead Online
Additionally, much speculation is already taking place about the possible dog breeds. Fans have various wishes for which dog breed should appear in Red Dead Online.
There are already many Reddit threads where players are looking for suggestions for dog names. They want to give their loyal companion a really cool name. The anticipation for this feature is apparently high.
What do you think about dogs in Red Dead Online? Are you excited about the furry companion?
Guild Wars 2 is a successful game, but not everyone can warm up to the MMORPG. The game targets specific demographics. In this article, we will reveal which player types should definitely give the game a chance.
The reasons why players dislike Guild Wars 2 are varied. Some find the content not challenging enough and feel that new raids come too infrequently. Others miss the ever-increasing gear level and therefore have no long-term goals.
But those who don’t see a problem with these two points are exactly in the target group of the MMORPG.
Casual Players
The casual player doesn’t need overly heavy content in 2019, but is satisfied that he can experience the current story and the latest content alone or with his best (in-game) friends.
That’s why GW2 is suitable for casual players: ArenaNet pays great attention to ensuring that all story content is playable solo. Even fights against nasty final bosses and huge dragons forgive mistakes and allow for a respawn after death without resetting the battle.
As early as 2014, the developers removed penalties such as repair costs for broken armor from the game. With the accompanying patch, the entry into the game was also simplified, and many new explanations were added.
All open world content can also be completed in spontaneously formed groups. The huge world events with 50+ players ensure that you feel like you are defeating a really tough boss. However, ideally, you don’t have to organize anything and don’t need to know any of your teammates to experience these epic fights.
Players with Limited Time
MMORPGs and family life don’t always fit together. However, Guild Wars 2 eliminates many hurdles for exactly these players.
That’s why GW2 is suitable for players with little time: In November 2012, the “Ascended” gear level was introduced. It has since been the highest level, and anyone who crafted armor in 2012 still has the best stats today.
ArenaNet thus avoids regular grinding for the best gear. The two expansions, Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire, have not changed anything about that.
The only hurdle that players with little time mostly have to overcome is logging in once every 2-4 months. This unlocks the current episode of the Living World and eliminates the need to purchase it later with gems.
Otherwise, you can also take a break for several weeks or months.
Players of Multiple MMORPGs
Those who play several MMORPGs at once usually have not only a problem with time but also with costs. Regular expansions and subscriptions are not uncommon in this genre.
That’s why GW2 is suitable for players with multiple MMOs: Guild Wars 2 has no monthly costs and has released only two expansions over a period of 7 years, with a total price of 75 euros at launch. Currently, both packages together cost only 49.99 euros.
Even if you miss Living World episodes in between, you can purchase them for in-game currency. Even if you only want to log into Guild Wars 2 occasionally, you don’t have to worry about costs.
The difficulty with Guild Wars 2 actually lies in sometimes missing the carrot in front of your nose. You have to set your own goals, but not everyone finds that easy.
That’s why GW2 is suitable for self-sufficient players: If you want to let your creativity flow, you can especially let loose in the “fashion” area in Guild Wars 2. There are many different armors that can be combined with each other and dyed to your liking.
The wardrobe system makes it possible to restyle characters in seconds while also providing access to all armors and weapons you have ever unlocked.
In addition, special skins are waiting at the end in legendary armors and weapons. Some of these even have special animations or can be combined with colorful infusions that provide additional effects.
If you’re not into fashion, you can lead a guild and decorate the guild hall as you like, chase achievements, help other players, or level up new characters.
With all the love for personal goals, we still have to say that Guild Wars 2 is a theme park MMO. In the end, there are certainly limits here that don’t necessarily exist in sandbox games.
Story Fanatics
Story fanatics love the story and absorb every detail. The developers of Guild Wars 2, on the other hand, love to work in great detail.
That’s why GW2 is suitable for story fanatics: While the core story of the game is quite simple and linear to follow, real fanatics should take a look to the left and right.
The developers often hide details in dialogues or tell tragic stories about characters found only on the outskirts of a map. In the new episode “Everything or Nothing“, for example, there is an NPC who wants us to fetch him ammunition supplies.
Only in later dialogues do we learn that his friends have been corrupted by the dragon. They repeatedly attack innocents who come to the village. He has made it his life’s mission to shoot his friends repeatedly to keep them in check.
If you want to earn easy gold in Guild Wars 2, we reveal all the tricks here:
In the shooter The Division 2, players have been discovering clues about strange yellow rubber ducks that somehow look suspicious since the release. What’s behind this? And what does Massive itself say about it?
What does The Division 2 have to do with ducks? It seems to be a running gag in The Division 2. Yellow rubber ducks are scattered throughout the game world, found in strange locations.
The ducks are often conspicuously arranged, as if they are hiding or have done something wrong.
A player found two ducks sitting in a heart and kissing.
Particularly striking is a top duck sitting in front of a pile of bottom ducks with the graffiti “ProDUCKtive” in the background – the English word for “productive.”
Even in a devastated city, people are having fun
What’s up with that? An employee from Massive has now commented on reddit and said that it’s an insider joke among the developers. They did it just for fun.
There are situations in the game where players find a corpse and a rubber duck nearby that looks quite guilty.
One of the developers wrote in a Dev Blog post: “A fun thing we came up with was to place ducks everywhere. You can see them in the beta and it became a big deal for the fans.”

From a game logic perspective, it makes sense not to take everything so seriously. The environment developers ensure that these little gags are not forced upon players, but that the world feels believable and coherent.
Environment artist Sonja Christoph said: “One must remember that there are still people living in this world. They are rebuilding this devastated city. I do believe that they would at least try to have a little fun doing so.”
From the developers’ perspective, the inhabitants of Washington D.C. are thus arranging the ducks in the game world to enjoy themselves.

Are players reacting? There is a dedicated Twitter channel for The Division 2, Division 2 Duck Hunt, which is solely focused on finding pictures of rubber ducks in The Division 2. However, it’s been a bit quiet since April.
Nevertheless, players continue to rediscover the ducks of The Division 2 and will chuckle and wonder about them.
In Fortnite, a new location could soon emerge. Dataminers have found hints of a Western town named “Tilted Town.” This could be the successor to the former hotspot “Tilted Towers.”
What indicates the new town? Already in the Season X trailer, the narrator revealed that the world today may not be the same as the world of tomorrow in Fortnite. Season 10 could thus bring significant map changes.
Now, dataminers have found new details in the Patch 10.00. There were hints of a new town that is to be built at the site of Neo Tilted.
Is the Wild West Coming to Fortnite Soon?
What have the dataminers found? The leaker “FortTory” shares various pictures of houses in a Western style on his Twitter account. He also found some files named “Western_Enter.”

The dataminer shows the changes to the map, indicating how the view of the new town will be. There is not much left of the modern Neo Tilted.
FortTory also shares a video that is supposed to give a first glimpse of the new town. While the buildings from Neo Tilted are still standing, the rest already looks changed:

Moreover, the Wild West fits the theme of time travel that Fortnite is currently exploring. For example, Dusty Depot reappeared, which has not been in the game since Season 4. Another time travel could turn Neo Tilted into Tilted Town.
Is this confirmed? So far, there are only leaks about it. Epic itself has not said anything yet. Therefore, this information should be taken with caution for now, as Epic may not include anything in the game.
What do you think? Would a Western theme fit into Fortnite?
In the MMORPG EVE Online, chaos breaks out, and that is exactly what CCP’s CEO, Hilmar Pétursson, wants. He warns players: Get ready for the impact. According to the CEO, EVE Online had more players in July 2019 than in the last 5 years.
What’s happening in EVE Online? For years, EVE Online existed in constant conflicts. These were initiated by the players: Huge alliances of thousands of pilots formed and fought against each other. There were major intrigues, wars, betrayal, lies, espionage, and dramas.
But that came from the players. The game universe itself was relatively stable and predictable.
This has changed in recent weeks. Now CCP is actively intervening in the MMORPG:
At the same time, developer CCP has not communicated some of the changes and simply let them happen – some players even declared war on CCP as a result. CCP responded by making the NPCs even more aggressive.
The CEO of CCP, Hilmar Veigar Pétursson.
CEO of EVE says: We do not want this so-called order
This is what the CEO says: The CEO of CCP Games recently discussed the changes in a podcast (via talkingstations).
He says: “Over time, the chaos in EVE Online has slowly moved towards order and reached a common denominator of how things should be.”
But this so-called order is not something he and his team wish for EVE Online.
The goal is to mix things up with more experiments in the coming months.
What’s next? Pétursson has declared this time of chaos and tells players they should prepare for the impact.
Next, CCP plans a massive intervention in the game’s economy (via devblog). A tax increase is coming to the MMORPG EVE Online. It is mainly aimed at NPC-controlled space stations, thereby strengthening the player-run markets.
Players are willing to pay taxes for the defense of EVE Online, right?
Additionally, there are hints that CCP is questioning “Asset Security,” the security of items.
Currently, if a space station is destroyed, a player can, under special circumstances, retrieve the items they would otherwise lose.
As Kotaku reports, the lead community developer has stated for years that he opposes this system. This is not something that should exist in EVE Online. Pétursson now states that Asset Security is something that could be removed from the game to increase the factors of “chaos” and “risk” in EVE Online.
EVE Online had more players in July 2019 than in the last 5 years
Has this been successful? The reactions to this era of chaos and change are mixed. Some are happy about the variety; others criticize the new form of EVE Online.
According to the CEO, the strategy has been successful. July 2019 would have been the strongest month with the most active players in 5 years.
About a year ago, CCP was bought by a Korean studio. It is quite possible that the revival of EVE Online and the “new more radical perspective” are related to this.
At the gaming expo ChinaJoy, a visitor destroyed a PS4 console in protest. He expressed his displeasure with the new game Genshin Impact.
What happened at the ChinaJoy expo? At the ChinaJoy expo in Shanghai, developer miHoYo announced a PS4 version of its new game Genshin Impact. Sony is handling the port and promotion of the title.
The third-person action game has faced a lot of criticism since its initial announcement at E3 2019 for PC and mobile devices. Many of the gameplay elements and the graphic style are strongly reminiscent of the popular Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Why did the fan destroy the console? One of the fans of Breath of the Wild was particularly outraged by the “shameless copy.” The expo visitor stood in front of the Genshin Impact booth, took a PS4 console out of his backpack, and smashed it on the ground in front of everyone.
He believes it is shameless of Sony to bring a game to the PS4 that so brazenly copies Breath of the Wild. And he is not alone in his opinion.
On the Chinese social media platform Weibo, the post about the PS4 port of Genshin Impact has received many angry and insulting comments towards Sony and developer miHoYo.
What is Genshin Impact? Genshin Impact is a third-person action game that sends you on adventures in an open world. You have a selection of several different characters, each with their own abilities and strengths.
During the announcement at E3 2019, the developers stated that Genshin Impact was inspired by Breath of the Wild. You can watch a trailer here and judge for yourself whether it looks like a “clone” or not:
