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

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

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

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

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

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

destiny-2-shadowkeep-waffe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

Reboot of Black Ops in the Cold War

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Player numbers trends in Hearthstone, WoW and Overwatch 2019

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

Their rise was the highlight in WoW last quarter.

Blizzard stable in monthly active users

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

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

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

Hearthstone Rise of Shadows Rafaam title

Hearthstone wins – WoW and Overwatch stable

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

Activision Blizzard further states that revenue has increased.

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

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

WoW Classic and Azshara bring more subscriptions

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

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

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

Overwatch Reinhardt blue title

No new games are coming right now

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

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

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

Diablo Immortal Screen 3
Diablo Immortal seems somewhat lost.

Waiting for Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4

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

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

There has also been little news about Diablo Immortal lately.

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

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

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

What else is included in Patch 12

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

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

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

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

Title image Fallout vending machines

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

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

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

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

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

WoW Goblin Levelboost Rocket

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

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

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

WoW Charakter Boost

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

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

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

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

Modern Warfare MP2 (1)

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

There are 2 central pieces of information:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARK-Genesis

ARK Genesis Releases in 2019 and 2020

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

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

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

New Map, Creatures, and a Talking Helper

What’s new? ARK Genesis brings:

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

New Floating Base

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

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

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

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

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

This is what the losers see:

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

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

LoL Yorick abilities
Yorick and the summoned ghouls

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

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

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

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

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

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

GTA Online horse racing

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

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

GTA Online Inside Race overview

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

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

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

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

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

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

Final Fantasy XIV will spare new players the most exhausting part

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 3 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is it still worth starting fresh with Final Fantasy XIV in 2021?
von Erzkanzler

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

4 Races and Locations That Dragon Ball Fans Know

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This emblem is quite well received

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

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

fifa 19 logo

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

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

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

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

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

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

fifa 20 gameplay

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

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

Why is Piemonte Calcio even in FIFA 20?

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

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

What do you think of this emblem?

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

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do games like FIFA 19 give Twitch streamers better chances at loot boxes?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In many games like FIFA 19 , there is an idea circulating that Twitch streamers and YouTubers have better chances with loot boxes than regular players. Now, during a hearing, a detail came to light that at least gives new fuel to this rumor, but does not confirm it.

This is the situation: Games like FIFA 19 rely on loot boxes. EA makes an incredible amount of money from it here in the West. In Asia, the model is even more widespread – mobile MMOs are full of loot boxes.

In FIFA 19, players buy card packs and then open them in hopes of drawing particularly strong players. However, the chance of getting the right superstars is virtually negligible.

Players believe that these chances might be manipulated.

YouTUbe-FIFA-19
The YouTube video of a pack opening for FIFA 15 has now garnered 40 million views.

Some FIFA players have felt for years:

  • I only get rubbish
  • But YouTubers or Twitch streamers often get super players

This idea of favoritism towards content creators has circulated – like the idea of momentum – for years in the community. Some dismiss it as selective perception or a conspiracy theory. But others firmly believe that something is fishy.

Until now, there has not been any real “evidence” but it has been referred to the realm of “player superstition”.

FIFA-Youtube-Pack
These pack openings are also popular on German YouTube and generate views – especially the exceptionally good ones.

Streamer manager says: It was considered just once

This is new: Currently, loot boxes are being widely discussed and there are first changes. Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation have now advocated that loot boxes should be “transparent”.

At a workshop on “loot boxes” by the US Federal Trade Commission, loot boxes were the topic.

Omeed Dariani, the CEO of a streamer agency, was asked here about the relationship between publishers and streamers regarding the topic of “loot boxes”.

Triggered the debate: loot boxes in Battlefront 2
In Star Wars Battlefront 2, loot boxes caused a lot of trouble.

He says: “Companies pay streamers to open loot boxes.” Although it is rare for someone to say: “Hey, just open a lot of loot boxes,” it does happen.

Dariani says: “I have definitely been in a room where a publisher said, we could give this person better chances with the packs if he opens them for advertising reasons.”

However, this has only happened once. Dariani does not say which game this was specifically proposed for or which publisher is meant. So it is not clear whether it was FIFA 19.

Further, it is not known whether a Twitch streamer or YouTuber ever really had “better chances”. What is known is that at least one publisher has toyed with the idea.

x-ray llamas
In Fortnite: Save the World, there are now transparent loot boxes.

Loot boxes are important for Twitch streamers

Why are loot boxes appealing to viewers? Dariani explains: “It’s exciting. You never know what will come out. You never know if they will get rare stuff. But hey, I don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to buy my own loot boxes, I can watch someone else do it.”

von Max Handwerk

This is how streamers handle sponsorships: According to Dariani, streamers do not hide the fact that they are supported by companies. For them, it is a badge of honor.

They then tell their viewers: “Look, EA sees that my content is valuable. They pay me. They support my work and the community I have built.”

For many people, this is a validation and a signal of growth.

Paid pack openings create the impression of “better loot boxes”

Here’s what it’s about: From the information:

  • it becomes clear that streamers sometimes actually open loot boxes with “other people’s money”
  • but it is not clear that they really have better chances

However, publishers seem to be using streamers and YouTubers to promote loot boxes. Especially on YouTube, the videos with the very best openings get the most clicks. By highlighting these highlights, the feeling is reinforced that the chances are better than in the daily lives of players.

Borderlands 3: 2k's response to accusations of intimidating a YouTuber

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the loot shooter Borderlands 3 there is unrest in the community a month before the release. YouTuber SupMatto made allegations that the publisher 2k had sent detectives to his home – following which others called for a boycott of Borderlands 3. 2k now confirms that detectives were sent. But the situation is different from how the YouTuber presents it.

This is the situation: About a week ago, a test stream went live, showing 4 hours of gameplay from Borderlands 3. A YouTuber reported on this “secret” stream. That YouTuber was Matt “SupMatto” Somers (featured image). He has been uploading videos about the Borderlands series on his channel since 2015.

As a result, the publisher of Borderlands 3, Take-Two, reportedly issued seven copyright strikes against SupMatto on YouTube and sent him two “Private Investigators,” as the YouTuber described in a video.

In the community, some expressed solidarity with the YouTuber and the hashtag #BoycottBorderlands3 trended for four hours on Twitter in the USA. One reason for this boycott call was that it should not be allowed for a company to intimidate a YouTuber like this.

Borderlands 3 Rhys Title 1140x445

2k says: We have been investigating SupMatto for 10 months

This is what Take-Two says now: A spokesperson for 2k says in a statement to IGN: “Take Two and 2k take the security and confidentiality of our trade secrets very seriously. The action we took this week was the result of a 10-month investigation.”

It is further stated that this “content creator,” meaning SupMatto, had long benefited from violating Take-Two’s policies and leaking confidential information about their products. He had violated 2k’s copyright.

Borderlands 3 Moze

This is what the YouTuber says: The YouTuber represented in the video that the official Borderlands YouTube channel had posted a hint about the test channel on YouTube on April 29 itself. This test channel for the stream of Borderlands 3 was not found by him, but was generally known.

YouTuber apparently knew too much

This is what the YouTuber allegedly did according to 2k: According to 2k, the YouTuber misrepresents the situation. He supposedly exploited a vulnerability in Twitch’s security system. The Twitch stream for Borderlands 3 was private, not public, as SupMatto states.

SupMatto reportedly published videos in 2018 that contained accurate information about characters and mechanics in Borderlands 3 that were not yet official:

The corresponding videos on SupMatto’s channel have since been deleted.

von Leya Jankowski

The YouTuber is also said to have operated a Discord channel where he published further leaked information about Borderlands 3. Players gained access to this channel if they purchased a $5 membership for SupMatto’s YouTube channel.

Take-Two views the action against the YouTuber as part of their efforts to close leaks and maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets. They want to prevent such leaks from having a negative impact on fans and customers.

Borderlands 3 Gaige title

What happens next? IGN also states that Discord and Twitch are likely investigating the respective account of SupMatto. SupMatto’s Discord channel was allegedly locked 20 minutes after the visit of the private detectives due to “the sale, promotion, or distribution of hacks, cheats, or cracked accounts.”

2k and Take-Two do not seemingly want to take further action against the leaker.

SupMatto himself has deleted his Twitter account and announced a break from YouTube.

He will then see in September whether he will even play Borderlands 3. At the moment he is out. He seems to have been at the source for too long and now needs to step back from Borderlands 3.

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep still has many open questions – Bungie says when answers will come

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

With Destiny 2, the release of Shadowkeep is slowly approaching. Until then, the developers want to share a lot of interesting information on important topics with the fans. We will show what Bungie is planning before the release.

What is Shadowkeep? Shadowkeep is the name of the upcoming fall expansion for Destiny 2. It will be released on October 1, 2019, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

It will not only bring new content such as the Moon location, a new raid, or fresh exotics, but also numerous changes to the game – for example, to the in-game shop Eververse or the armor system.

Everything we know so far about Shadowkeep can be found here: Everything about Destiny 2: Shadowkeep – Release, Pre-order, and Features

destiny-2-shadowkeep-titan-warlock

What is the planned information flood about? Even though Bungie has already revealed some details about the new expansion, fans still have many unanswered questions – for example, about the new Armor 2.0 system or PvP. The studio aims to address many of these topics before the release of Shadowkeep.

Information roadmap until Shadowkeep – What Bungie wants to discuss

In the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, Bungie has now announced how they intend to satisfy the knowledge thirst of eager Guardians until October 1. The studio has a lot planned for this. Here’s what you can expect:

destiny-2-shadowkeep-waffe

Insights into the learnings from Destiny 2 for Shadowkeep: Already next week (starting August 12), Destiny’s Franchise Director Luke Smith will release a kind of Director’s Cut on the current State of the Game.

In it, he will reflect on the past six months of Destiny 2, discuss what has been learned, and which changes will result from it for Shadowkeep.

This will actually be the first of two parts of the post. However, this part alone is expected to be over 4,100 words long. The second part is expected to follow shortly and will be of approximately the same length.

destiny 2 shadowkeep gun armor

Armor customization preview: Also next week (on August 14), there will be a stream in which the developers want to highlight the new Armor 2.0 system and its possibilities. Bungie wants to show you how to “build a better monster-killing machine”.

In the live stream, the developers will assemble a Titan, a Warlock, and a Hunter. They will use various mods, artifacts, and ornaments on the armor and test the new builds in the sandbox.

Destiny 2 at Gamescom: Bungie will be present at the big gaming fair Gamescom, which opens on August 19 with the Opening Night Show (running until August 24). During the fair, there will be more new details about the Shadowkeep expansion.

destiny 2 shadowkeep moon

The seasons in year 3 of Destiny 2: The developers also want to address how the seasons of Destiny 2 will change in the third year of the game.

So far, it is only known that the seasons will be independent of each other. This means they can all be purchased separately. So if you do not like the content of a specific season, you can simply skip it.

PvP in Shadowkeep: Many fans are curious about the future of Destiny 2’s Crucible. The developers also apparently want to address this topic before the launch. A PvP reveal is expected beforehand. Additionally, there should be an invite to the Crucible at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), which runs from August 30 to September 2.

destiny 2 shadowkeep

What else is coming? Bungie has not yet provided an explicit answer to this. However, the studio emphasizes that the previously announced topics are just a few highlights, and there will be more. Everything will be compressed into a kind of final push in September.

Are you already excited about the latest info? What topic concerns you the most leading up to Shadowkeep? What do you want to know more about?
