The gift in FIFA 19 is so good that people are flocking to EA’s place

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19, EA Sports promised a TOTS player for every fan who watched the FIFA 19 World Cup final via Twitch. So many took advantage of this offer that there are now problems.

What kind of gift is this? Last Sunday, on 04.08., the final of the FIFAeWorldCup took place. This is the World Cup of FIFA 19.

To attract numerous viewers for this event, EA Sports launched a giveaway. Every fan who watched the spectacle on Sunday through the EA Sports Twitch channel was to receive a TOTS player from one of the top 5 leagues immediately afterward.

What are TOTS players? These are players from the Teams of the Season of FIFA 19. From May to June, TOTS players with outstanding ratings were released in FUT – highly-rated player cards from the best players of the season from various leagues.

These TOTS cards can enhance any Ultimate Team, and are therefore as sought after as they are rare.

Therefore, countless FIFA fans did not want to miss out on participating in this giveaway for the FIFA 19 World Cup.

No one would probably refuse a player from this Bundesliga TOTS

Players are still waiting for their cards

This is the problem: EA communicated in advance that at the end of the World Cup stream, all participating viewers would receive their guaranteed TOTS pack containing an untradeable TOTS player.

However, these rewards are now taking time.

This is what EA Sports says about the annoyance: Shortly after the stream, EA Sports wrote via Twitter that it will take some time to process the TOTS packs. The reason given is: “There were really a lot of you in the stream.”

The gift was so good that more viewers came than expected. EA did not anticipate such a surge.

Just a few hours ago, EA gave another update. A few players have since received their packs, but they are still working to ensure all viewers receive their deserved prize. Processing so many account details is not a fast process, but they are on it. The verification process is taking time.

This means: If you watched the stream, you will still receive your pack. It just takes longer than expected. Some players have already expressed concerns on reddit that they might never receive their pack and that some errors might have occurred.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne shows 15 cool new armor sets

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 4 minutes

Together with the new monsters, the Iceborne expansion also brings new armor sets to Monster Hunter World. Here you can check them all out.

What’s new in Iceborne? The MHW social media channels are continuously releasing new information about the new expansion. There is now a whole series of short videos showcasing new armor sets from Iceborne.

A total of 13 new sets have already been shown. Among them are many Master Rank equipment that come with the new difficulty rank to MHW. Some of these could already be admired in the PS4 beta of Iceborne, but here you can see them all at a glance.

von Irina Moritz

Direwolf Set

The fluffy and warm Direwolf armor is one of the sets players could wear during the Iceborne beta on PS4. The wintery design fits perfectly into the cold setting of the expansion.

Beotodus Set

This armor gets its black and gold color from the scales of the new Iceborne monster Beotodus. The flexibility of the set is said to enable better mobility for its wearer and increase dexterity.

Nargacuga Set

Nargacuga is one of the most popular beasts in the Monster Hunter series, which is not least due to its stylish and sleek armor sets. We all know that looking cool makes strong armor even better.

Banbaro Set

The massive new monster Banbaro is almost entirely covered in fur, which makes its armor set look even fluffier than Direwolf. If you’ve ever wanted to look like a real Viking, you can’t miss the Banbaro armor.

Tigrex Set

Tigrex is another fan favorite from the older Monster Hunter games that has made it to Iceborne. The characteristic bright yellow-blue coloring of the wyvern is also reflected in its armor set.

Screaming Legiana Set

The Screaming Legiana is a subspecies of the normal Legiana, which will make its debut in Iceborne. Although the two monsters are related, the design of their armor sets differs drastically from each other.

Legiana Set (Master Rank)

The Legiana is a familiar face for MHW players and already has several armor sets. With Iceborne, however, like many other monsters, it receives its own Master Rank equipment, which naturally also features a new design.

Rathian Set (Master Rank)

The queen of the land, Rathian, also receives its own Master Rank armor in Iceborne. The crown and the long skirt make the set look like a proper royal dress, featuring the characteristic green color of Rathian.

Pukei-Pukei Set (Master Rank)

The motto of the Master Rank armor of Pukei is “less is more”. It looks lighter and more agile compared to the Alpha and Beta sets. And also quite a bit cooler.

Great Girros Set (Master Rank)

The Master Rank armor of Great Girros is dark, stylish and has a really cool Assassin’s Creed look. So if you missed the crossover event and the Assassin’s armor, this would be a cool alternative.

Anjanath Set (Master Rank)

Among the currently known Master Rank armors, Anjanath’s is definitely one of the most revealing. The dangerously sexy look underlines the brutality and aggressiveness of the monster, which doesn’t care much about defense.

Black Diablos Set (Master Rank)

What better way to showcase your victory over a black Diablos than by decorating your armor with its massive horns? The question of how the character can see anything sideways with the shoulder plates on is absolutely irrelevant.

Odogaron Set (Master Rank)

The Master Rank equipment of Odogaron also looks more stylish compared to the alpha and beta versions from MHW. Especially the wide hat will make any longsword player look like a real samurai.

Rathalos Set (Master Rank)

The Master Rank armor of Rathalos follows the design pattern already used in the Alpha and Beta sets. Heavy scales from the monster are fused with metal plates in the set. The helmet then makes you look almost exactly like the king of the skies.

Tobi-Kadachi Set (Master Rank)

The swift and aggressive Tobi-Kadachi represents the first real challenge for many new players of MHW. Therefore, one is all the more pleased with the victory and the loot. The warm Master Rank armor will serve you well in the cold regions of Iceborne.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be released in just under a month on September 6. We were able to play the full version of the expansion:

Gunsmith in CoD Modern Warfare: How to build the perfect weapon

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, the developers at Infinity Ward provided a closer look at the Gunsmith system of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Here you will learn how to customize your weapons in the upcoming series reboot and what impact it will have on the gameplay.

Assembling the right loadout for Multiplayer has always been an integral part of the “Call of Duty” series. In Modern Warfare 2019, you will be able to build your weapons using the so-called Gunsmith.

What is Gunsmith anyway? The Gunsmith is essentially a part of the loadout editor. This system focuses explicitly on your firearms. As the name suggests, these can be customized for various situations.

What exactly can you do with the Gunsmith? In short: you have the option to choose up to 5 attachments from a total of 60 different attachments (almost 30 for pistols) at 8 positions (and one perk slot).

From stocks, barrels, rail systems, magazines, and various optional grips to a wide range of sights or laser targeting aids, it includes just about everything that modern weaponry consists of today.

However, with the Gunsmith, not only does the appearance of your weapons change. Your choices are also supposed to have noticeable effects. The system is designed to be deeper than anything Call of Duty has offered before.

This is how your choice of attachments affects gameplay: With a maximum of 5 attachments, you can completely tailor a weapon to your own playstyle. Different aspects, such as damage, precision, and other important stats, can be influenced.

To show the pros and cons of each weapon part, the properties of the attachments are clearly displayed in a “Pro and Con” comparison in the Gunsmith. Additionally, graphs indicate how much each attachment affects stats like precision, range, rate of fire, mobility, or control.

For example, you could equip a rifle with a lighter barrel, allowing you to raise the weapon and get into aim view faster. However, this advantage comes at the cost of range and rate of fire.

There is no optimal attachment, as stat boosts in one area will come at the expense of other stats. While it may be possible to focus entirely on damage increase, the negative aspects that accumulate from this will leave you at a disadvantage against other builds in certain situations.

If the weapon is “overloaded” with attachments, meaning it becomes too heavy, it takes much longer to aim and use the sight. Additionally, you may also move more slowly. In direct confrontations with opponents who can aim faster, you will likely lose.

Therefore, it will be important to find the right individual balance to create the perfect weapon for yourself. You should focus on the attachments that provide you with a noticeable benefit and not just load the weapon with as many attachments as possible. This is not always the right path for everyone.

You can get a closer look at the Gunsmith mode in this video from the well-known “Call of Duty” YouTuber eColiEspresso:

Get the cool pistol lamp in The Division 2 in 10 minutes

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division 2 there is the pistol flashlight as a new mod. We will show you in a guide how to acquire this flashlight in about 10 minutes and finally have the light you have always wished for.

How do you get the pistol flashlight in The Division 2? The way is easy and very straightforward. You don’t have to run around like crazy:

  • You start from the White House and set a marker on the underground entrance (it is yellow) directly south of the White House near the fuel depot
  • Then you go down, it’s about 400 meters, and descend into the sewer
  • Here you run around briefly until you reach a fork, one way goes up a ladder, the other takes you deeper into the sewer – you take the path that leads deeper
Pistol Flashlight-Division-Site
Here is the yellow entrance marked that you should aim for.
  • You then enter a large room, where the mysterious “She does not speak” faction hangs out in The Division 2. It is known as the “Underground faction”. Here you hear nothing but gunfire and the sound of a chainsaw revving up
  • You now kill the chainsaw guy, a heavy, and since you are at it, take out all the other goons as well. If you are well-equipped, it should go smoothly
  • The big guy with the chainsaw drops the blueprint for the pistol flashlight – you can now craft it at the White House
Division-Pistol-Flashlight
After the job is done: Just grab it.

Players were afraid of the darkness

What’s the deal with the pistol flashlight? When The Division 2 was released, players complained that it was so terribly dark, especially in the sewers. It was somewhat creepy.

They asked if The Division 2 could bring a flashlight. Massive has now indirectly answered this request with the pistol flashlight.

Players demand flashlights in The Division 2 because they are damn necessary
von Tom Rothstein

The ironic thing is that to get the thing, you have to go into the darkest corners of the sewer to take down a pretty creepy chainsaw guy.

The-Division-2-Pistol-Mod
A bit of steel and carbon fibers should be left over.

What is the pistol flashlight like? The mod must be mounted on the under-barrel of a pistol. So you need to play a weapon that has such a mod slot. This does limit its usefulness a bit.

But the beam of light is clearly visible when you draw the weapon. A nice little gimmick that surely contributes to the atmosphere.

There is also another type of flashlight in The Division 2:

So clever reacts Twitch to the departure of the biggest star Ninja

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The popular Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has said goodbye to Twitch and is now with the competition. But Twitch has a great idea on how to handle his old channel.

Ninja is now with Microsoft: On August 1, Ninja announced that he will no longer present his livestreams on Twitch.TV, but is now switching to “Mixer.” That’s Microsoft’s livestreaming platform. He has signed an exclusive deal for it.

This is not only a big change for his viewers and Mixer. Twitch.TV also has to say goodbye to a star, as Ninja’s channel has 14 million followers and is therefore the most followed. A significant loss for Twitch. But something has happened on Ninja’s Twitch channel.

This is how Twitch reacts to Ninja’s departure: Ninja’s former Twitch channel has received a design makeover. It now serves as an advertisement for other Fortnite streams. Anyone who visits his Twitch link now sees the following greeting:

“The Ninja you are looking for is in another castle. Check out these popular live channels.” With the “another castle,” Twitch references the Mario games.

Ninja Stream Twitch

His streamed broadcasts can still be viewed. The operators of the livestreaming platform cleverly use his channel’s homepage to keep visitors on the site. Instead of saying “Oh, the livestream is no longer available, I’m leaving,” there is now an incentive to stay on Twitch.TV.

Viewers applaud Twitch: The reactions of the viewers on Reddit are positive towards Twitch’s action.

  • “Somehow it’s hilarious that they show other Fortnite streams and removed his links below. I guess the channel’s traffic was so high that they created this individual page.”
  • “Okay, this is really funny. Well done, Twitch.”
  • “This passive aggression is hilarious.”

Ninja received negative feedback for his action. In his first stream on Mixer, he had to hear “You sold out”.

pewdiepie title

Is Twitch doing this with every streaming channel? A viewer notes that popular YouTuber and livestreamer “PewDiePie” still has his Twitch channel with subscription feature, even though he signed an exclusive contract with DLIVE. It is suspected that PewDiePie just wasn’t as big a deal for Twitch as Ninja.

With a Fortnite appearance, PewDiePie destroyed Twitch and then left.

The most powerful build imaginable in Destiny 2 is now possible

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, during the Solstice of Heroes, there is a build possible that is incredibly powerful. With this, a Guardian can bring down raid bosses in seconds.

This build comes from: Gladd. He is a Guardian who has made a big name for himself in the Guardian community. Gladd is a streamer, YouTuber, and competitive PvE player who has earned several World-First titles in Destiny raids as a member of the Clan Redeem, like last September in the “Last Wish” raid.

What can this build do? According to Gladd, it is the most powerful build that Destiny (both Destiny 1 and 2) has ever seen. With this, he receives extremely strong melee attacks that allow him to smash raid bosses into pieces in seconds.

He achieves this enormous melee damage by stacking multiple buffs. The important one is the “Arc Empowered” buff, which is only possible every few days during the Solstice of Heroes, the current summer event.

This video shows how this crazy build works in practice. Gladd takes down the dogs in the Leviathan raid (0:44), Argos (1:26), and Riven (3:56) with great ease. They die in seconds:

Link to the YouTube content

How does this build work?

You will need the following: You need an Arcstrider Hunter with

  • Combination Blow x3 – This is an Arcstrider melee ability that increases melee damage for 20 seconds and is stackable.
  • The “Arc Empowered” buff from the Solstice, which also increases melee damage. For this, 30 Arc spheres must be collected on an Arc day to activate it.
  • A shotgun with the Double-Punch perk. If an enemy is hit by every shotgun shot, melee damage is increased.
  • Tractor Cannon (exotic shotgun) for a debuff that makes enemies more susceptible to damage.
  • Fist of the Liar (exotic gauntlets) – If you use the Arc melee ability or are hit by a melee attack, you can follow up with a powerful melee counterattack that also heals you.

The video shows how Gladd charges up Combination Blow with melee kills before a fight and gathers the last Arc spheres. Now he blasts the boss with the shotgun, follows up, and the enemy goes down. For example, Riven dies in just a little over a second.

Gladd exploits a glitch

Is this done fairly? Unfortunately not, as Gladd exploits a rather easily executed glitch with the “Fist of the Liar” gauntlets. This keeps the exotic perk permanently active – meaning: melee damage is increased every time.

How the community reacts: In the comments, Guardians admit they have never seen such fast raid boss kills. This build is described as “insane” or “incredible. “

Moreover, a user writes that he now feels sorry for Titans. Until now, “slamming” was their thing, but now Hunters are surpassing them in it.

There are no complaints about the use of the glitch. After all, Gladd does not keep it a secret but rather utilizes what is possible in the game. People are more excited to see that such fast kills are even possible.

What do you think of this build?

Fortnite: Twitch streamer Tfue despises the new mech with deep intensity

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Email
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?

There is a new hint about the next legend for Apex Legends – Is it Crypto?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

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.

https://twitter.com/Teanah/status/1157036213452197888

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.

https://twitter.com/Teanah/status/1157088320972705792

Crypto – the new legend for Apex Legends?

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.

Link to the YouTube content

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.

Apex Legends Pathfinder Concept Art with Crypto in the background

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.

What if it’s not Crypto?

This legend is still possible: There is currently also a rumor that the next legend could be “Rosie.” The name Rosie appeared in the same leak where Crypto was first mentioned.

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:

Check out 7 pictures of the new Goblin and Worgen models in WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

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 known – But when does Season 18 start?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

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.

You have less than two weeks left to fulfill your goals for the season. This could be worthwhile for you because if you complete all 9 chapters of the Season journey, you will receive galactic wings.

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.

The strengthening effect for S18 brings a Magical Buff that can manifest in three forms. It is a strengthening circle that either

  • increases the damage bonus by 100%
  • reduces resource costs by 50%
  • or reduces the cooldown faster

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.

Destiny 2: Are you hunting for the perfect roll for the Solstice Armor? This tip helps

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

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.

About this armor: With the ongoing Solstice of Heroes, Destiny 2 is wrapping up its second year. The highlight of this summer event for many is the Solstice armor. This armor needs to be upgraded in multiple steps across several quality tiers, until you receive a legendary, opulent version of the set. The hunt for this armor is keeping many Guardians busy right now.

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.

destiny 2 solstice 2019

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.

destiny-2-european-air-zone-elz

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.

Moreover, the Solstice armor will remain relevant even after the transition of the armor system with the release of the major fall expansion Shadowkeep. Read more about it here: How you can make your Guardians look good AND efficient in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

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.

US politicians blame video games for recent shooting sprees

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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.

https://twitter.com/existentialfish/status/1158021253778874369

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.

https://twitter.com/existentialfish/status/1158008058930442240

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.

Pokémon GO Fest in Japan brings Shiny Quapsel and this Hat Pikachu worldwide

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

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.

GO Fest Yokohama

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.

What Hat Pikachu will there be? If you look at the corresponding picture, almost all old Hat Pikachu will return. The exceptions are the Pikachu with One Piece Hat and with the black hat from a Japanese designer.

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 Hearthstone tournament was so unpopular that Blizzard changed the rules

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Hearthstone Warrior Garrosh
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.

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 studio has been working on Destiny 2 since 2015 – now they are helping with the next giant title

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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.

In May 2015, it was publicly revealed that High Moon Studios is actively working on Destiny. The studio revealed itself through a job advertisement on their homepage. They were looking for someone with a passionate enthusiasm for the Destiny universe.

Shortly thereafter, High Moon Studios officially announced that they are working on Destiny with their 100 employees.

High-Moon-Partner-Destiny
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.

Because it became clear there:

  • High Moon Studios had primarily developed the campaign for the Destiny 2 expansion “Forsaken” – that was the campaign about the Barons
  • While another support studio from Activision Blizzard, Vicarious Visions, took over the PC port

Port and campaign were perceived as successful by fans.

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.

But as soon as the partnership started, it also ended. Because in January 2019, Activision Blizzard and Bungie announced that they would go separate ways. This also eliminated the support studios. Bungie is back on its own.

Also as a result of this separation, Activision Blizzard laid off 800 employees in February 2019, including some employees of High Moon Studios.

Next mission: Call of Duty

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.

Stolloss is damn useless in Pokémon GO, but it shines in this raid boss

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Pokémon GO Rayquaza Title
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:

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

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.

Stolloss
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.

Among all the new items in GTA 5 Online, players celebrate this statue the most

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Destiny 2: If you are a Warlock, it’s better to look away now

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

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.”

After Bungie delayed the Shadowkeep expansion by 2 weeks, these images might ease your pain a little and make the long wait until release more bearable.

An Overview of the New Shadowkeep Images

These are 3 new armor sets:

destiny 2 shadowkeep armor
  • 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!”
