Streamer mocks cheeky viewers on Twitch who want to see her laundry

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Streamer PaladinAmber regularly battles sexist remarks from trolls during her stream. However, she takes it with humor and ruthlessly exposes the troublemakers in a humorous way.

Who is it about? The Twitch streamer PaladinAmber has, like many female Twitch users, regularly faced guys in her stream who come at her with stupid, sexist remarks. Frequently, they ask if she will show her breasts or if she can meet users for dates and one-night stands.

While such behavior unfortunately seems to occur frequently and often goes unpunished, PaladinAmber has developed an effective method to put trolls in their place.

She humorously exposes them and verbally dismantles them with mockery.

Fake News Overlay Against Sexism

This is how the streamer deals with trolls: Often, trolls and stupid remark-makers on Twitch are ignored or quickly return after a ban. Either with a new account or by simply harassing other streamers.

PaladinAmber, on the other hand, believes that it is much more effective to expose and mock the trolls. Then they often realize how inappropriate their behavior is and may change.

This is how the streamer does it: Whenever someone makes a stupid remark, for example, wanting to see her breasts, she switches to a new overlay. For the breast request, it was a telemarketing screen. There she “sells” for 19.95 the option to open a new tab in the browser and see tons of online boobs. Just for 19.95!

Another time, she uses a kind of breaking news overlay to expose a user who asked if she was bisexual or single. Immediately it turned into a breaking news segment where she announced the following:

https://twitter.com/PaladinAmber/status/1153539349905989632

“I am a female being on the internet, but I don’t want to date any of you. This just in: It is really possible that people on the internet do not want to have horizontal tango with each other or with any of you. Therefore I now announce, it’s none of your damn business! It doesn’t matter. I’m a buddy-girl on the internet and if you like my content, then you can hang out here. You can even subscribe to me. You can not do that and still hang out here. That’s cool too. But don’t ask me about my sexual preferences or dating!”

Does the Tactic Work?

This is how the trolls react: Overall, the behavior of the troublemakers on her channel has become less toxic, says PaladinAmber via Kotaku. She believes it is more effective to show people their behavior than just to ban them. One troll even apologized and said he wants to improve.

Trollface Cafe

On the other hand, there are also some guys who enjoy being the target of PaladinAmber’s overlay attacks in her stream. They then come into the chat and intentionally say the most disgusting things just to see how she reacts.

But even here, people tend to ask for quirky instead of deeply offensive things, for example, asking the streamer to show her feet.

PaladinAmber also states that while her tactic is effective against trolls, certainly not every streamer is emotionally stable and quick-witted enough to pull this off constantly.

2 weapons annoyed the guardians in Destiny 2 hard – Bungie now sets a monument for both

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

Two special weapons created some particularly crazy moments in the PvP of Destiny 2. One has already been nerfed, the second one will be nerfed soon. But soon Bungie will also honor the former reign of terror of these two guns. And so a Guardian will also benefit from it.

These are the weapons: Do you remember the laser show shortly after the release of Destiny 2? And have you also been recently shredded by a particular exotic weapon (at least on PC)? Then you should know

both quite well. Both weapons were or still are considered broken or OP and stirred up the Crucible of Destiny 2 quite a bit. That is why the Prometheus Lens has already been nerfed by Bungie and Lord of Wolves will receive an adjustment with update 2.5.2 on July 30.

destiny-2-prometheus-linse
The Prometheus Lens

This is how Bungie honors these two weapons: Even though it wasn’t intended by Bungie, both weapons caused some crazy moments and a chaotic time in the Crucible.

That is why the developers have come up with something special to keep the memory of the two guns alive. Both weapons will receive their own emblem in the game, with Lord of Wolves even getting its own triumph.

You can easily check if you qualify for the emblems with an online tool. You can read here how to do that.

This is how you get the emblems: The emblem for Lord of Wolves is called “Wolves unleashed”.

To obtain it, you must have participated in a Iron Banner match this year between 7:00 PM on June 18 and 7:00 PM on June 25 or between 7:00 PM on July 23 and 7:00 PM on July 30.

The emblem for Lord of Wolves

All Guardians who meet this requirement will receive the “Lost History” package in their mailbox after update 2.5.2 on July 30. This will unlock a unique triumph. Once you redeem this, you will receive the corresponding emblem.

To honor the time when skulls were melted by the laser from the Prometheus Lens, Bungie has designed the emblem “Prismatic Inferno”.

Emblem for the Prometheus Lens

All Guardians who participated in a Crucible match between 7:00 PM on December 8 and 7:00 PM on December 12, 2017, will gain access to this emblem.

What was so special about the Prometheus Lens? The Prometheus Lens was introduced with the “Curse of Osiris” DLC and quickly earned the nickname Gjallar-Laser, referencing the powerful Gjallarhorn from Destiny 1. It also brought back memories of the overly powerful Vex Mythoclast (pre-nerf).

Because the exotic trace rifle was absolutely overpowered, killing enemies in just 0.5 seconds. Sometimes it was enough to merely graze a Guardian with the beam to cause them to perish.

destiny-2-hüter-prometheus
Prometheus Lens in action

As a consequence, almost everyone who had the weapon ran around with it in the Crucible. Then Xur sold the weapon, so that nearly all Guardians could have fun with the Lens before it was nerfed into the ground by Bungie. The Trials weekend following the sale at Xur went down in history as the laser show in Destiny 2.

More on this: The Prometheus Lens is so powerful that Trials are in danger

What was so special about Lord of Wolves? Lord of Wolves is intrinsically a weapon from the first spin-off, but it made its return to Destiny 2 some time ago with Forsaken. This exotic shotgun was a solid weapon from the start but then significantly benefited from a buff during a sandbox update.

destiny-lord-der-woelfe2
Lord of Wolves

Its perk “Release the Wolves” was so powerful that the weapon simply wiped out everything in its path. Even against an active Super, it took a maximum of two shots (salvos) to take down the opposing Guardian.

Especially on PC with mouse and keyboard, the weapon terrorized many players. Many fans raised their voices and demanded an adjustment to the weapon, which took away fun from numerous players in the Crucible. On July 30, it is now time, and Lord of Wolves will also be nerfed.

More on this can be found here: This weapon is currently ruining PvP for many in Destiny 2

What do you think about it? A cool gesture or absolutely unnecessary? Are you looking forward to the emblems and will you even use them?

So cool starts you in the new Modern Warfare into a multiplayer match

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Another teaser for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been released. In it, we can see the start of a multiplayer round, and fans are still in awe.

What does the teaser show? There is not much information about the game to be seen. You see how a round starts in multiplayer, as you are dropped from a helicopter and enter the match.

Many players are celebrating this teaser for Modern Warfare. Overall, the mood is very positive, as the previous teasers and details have been well received everywhere.

Check out the new teaser for the multiplayer

This is the video: The clip lasts about 20 seconds and shows a scene in a helicopter bringing you to the location:

https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1154436181117067272

What was said about this: In line with the teaser, Activision also released a short text. It describes the scene in more detail:

It is day 215. Operation “Gun Runner” is in full swing as you drop out of a helicopter.
As you crouch on the side of the helicopter, you hear a radio conversation and sit next to Operator “D-Day,” who is holding an assault rifle (with a short stock). It looks like you have chosen an assault rifle with a long barrel and a hybrid sight. As you jump onto the broken concrete ramp near this train station, you move out immediately and are ready for your first enemy contact.


What you have seen is one of the tactical entries of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare; this shows an entry into the multiplayer map currently referred to as “Gun Runner”. These entries usually happen between the moment you choose your multiplayer loadout and the start of the MP match.

Activision in their blog
Modern Warfare

What does this mean? It is something completely different from what we have known so far and allows a round to start dynamically.

However, there will also be other start sequences than these. What other sequences will look like is not known.

How are fans reacting? They are once again thrilled by Modern Warfare. We show you some statements from players on Reddit:

  • Overwatchjsi: “So cool, the game looks phenomenal. I hope they don’t ruin it with microtransactions.”
  • III-Urban-III: “I really wish they wouldn’t release a new CoD next year, but keep this one going with content updates.”
  • Vampire_Prince10: “Damn, such an intro for a map is so cool.”

When will there be more info? Modern Warfare will present the first gameplay on August 1. At 7 PM German time, you can watch the new gameplay on Twitch.

What do you think of this teaser? Are you now just as excited about the multiplayer?

MMORPG Worlds Adrift aimed high but closes today – What caused the crash?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Worlds Adrift is coming to an end. Today the gates close, but it will be celebrated with a big party.

Why is Worlds Adrift closing? As the developers have already explained, the MMORPG just couldn’t achieve the success that the team had hoped for and which would have been necessary for long-term operation.

Furthermore, the development simply took too long and focused too much on the functionality of the game and too little on exciting content. The problem with griefers was something the developers could never really get under control. Constant attacks robbed newcomers of the fun right from the start.

In the end, the team had no choice but to cease operations now.

The end is coming soon

When do the gates close? Today marks the end. However, Worlds Adrift invites all players to participate in a big party.

This party starts today around 4 PM. It will last about six hours and then the lights will go out. After that, fans of Worlds Adrift will have to say goodbye.

What can players expect from the party? The developers promise it will be a very special event. The end of the world will be celebrated appropriately.

How are the fans reacting? Players are sad because they have already developed an emotional bond with the MMORPG and actually found the game quite good. They want to gather one last time for the party to give Worlds Adrift the worthy farewell it deserves.

These games also said goodbye with an event

Worlds Adrift is not the only MMORPG that has said goodbye to its community with a big event.

Final Fantasy XIV: The first version of the MMORPG was released in 2010 but could not captivate the fans. Therefore, the version was discontinued at the end of 2012. The developers made meteors and even the moon rain down on the fantasy world of Hydaelyn, and huge armies clashed. Subsequently, the world was reborn in the new version of FF14.

Wildstar: On November 28, 2018, the MMORPG Wildstar bid farewell. In the last weeks, many events took place, including hoverboard races and EXP boosts, to ensure that players could have a great time at the end.

Devilian: The action RPG was closed in March 2018. Players of the online game gathered together at the end in the game to celebrate one last, big party together. The end was then rather unspectacular with a “Stopped Working” error message.

New hotfix in Fallout 76 makes PvP battles more exciting and good players more dangerous

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Bethesda has deployed a new hotfix to the servers of Fallout 76 . This only affects the PvP mode, but affects all players equally. The best players are now an even greater threat.

What kind of hotfix is this? The new hotfix was released on July 25 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It ensures that the top-ranked players in the Survival Mode are no longer displayed on the map.

Since a patch that also brought special PvP weapons, the top 3 in the rankings are the players with the most kills. Their positions were previously visible on the map, allowing other players to hunt them. This is no longer the case.

Fallout 76 Nuclear Winner grim face title

How large is the hotfix? The size varies depending on the platform:

  • For PC, the hotfix is about 50MB
  • For PS4 and Xbox One, the size is nearly 1GB

If the patcher indicates a larger size, Bethesda claims it’s a display error. The actual size is as stated here.

Hotfix from July 25, 2019 – Patch Notes

How are players now more dangerous? Due to this small change, it is now more difficult for other players to find the best ones on their server. Previously, it was quite easy to directly hunt down the top players and thus find exciting battles.

Since they are no longer displayed on the map, the best players can potentially get more kills. After all, they are no longer visible to every opponent at all times and can sneak around more easily.

What changes for me? However, since only up to 32 players can be on the huge map, battles may also become generally rarer. Kills will become more valuable, as the best players can no longer be simply hunted.

Anyone who wants to be in first place now has to put in the effort. Because the change also means that no players (and thus potential kills) will flock to the top players anymore. The fight for the top will definitely be more strenuous now.

Fallout 76 PvP mode leaderboard

What else is changing in PvP: Along with the change on the map, the weapons for PvP have been adjusted:

  • The damage multiplier in PvP has been removed. Weapons now deal similar base damage as in Adventure Mode
  • Some damage bonuses from upgraded weapons have been reduced. This makes battles more balanced, and certain builds are no longer too strong
  • The maximum damage that a weapon can deal in PvP has been lowered
Fallout 76 Nuclear Winter pvp

Battles should become more exciting again and also last a bit longer, instead of players being simply shot from behind.

What does the future hold?

What Bethesda has announced: In a related “Out of the Vault“, Bethesda also announced that they would pay more attention to player feedback, after recent complaints have increased.

Specifically, it has been confirmed that there is indeed a problem with legendary loot. This should drop more frequently in the future. However, the work on the solution will slightly shift the “Meat” event from July 30 to August 1:

New raid bosses in Pokémon GO – Which ones are particularly worthwhile?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can now find various raid bosses from Team Rocket. We show you an overview of all current Pokémon in raids.

That’s why there are new bosses: A Team Rocket event is currently running, which is why the raid bosses have changed. Numerous Pokémon that Team Rocket has battled in the console games are now in the raids.

In addition to the new Pokémon, there are still numerous counters against Mewtwo in the raids, as the special Mewtwo with armor is still the level-5 boss.

The raid bosses for the Team Rocket event

Raid Bosses
Raid LevelPokémon
Level-1 Raid (red egg)Rettan
Zubat
Mauzi
Tragosso
Shuppet
Driftlon
Zwirrlicht
Sheinux
Level-2 Raid (red egg)Flunkifer 
Sniebel
Magneton
Sleimok
Duflor
Sandamer
Tannza
Traunfugil
Alola-Kokowei
Level-3 Raid (yellow egg)Hypno
Gengar
Sichlor
Torhaido
Machomei
Alola-Raichu
Level-4 Raid (yellow egg)Absol
Despotar
Alola-Knogga
Hundemon
Sarzenia
Tengulist
Level-5 Raid (black egg)Armored Mewtwo

What’s special about the list: Currently, the pool of possible raid Pokémon is extremely large. Sometimes there are 9 different Pokémon at one raid level. Normally, there are usually 4 to 5 Pokémon here.

Which bosses are worth it? As a counter against Mewtwo, you should rely on Despotar and Gengar. They are among the top counters.

Also interesting is Sniebel, as its evolution Snibunna is a top counter and this Pokémon can also be shiny since the event started. In raids, you have a good opportunity.

Shiny Sniebel
This is what the shiny family of Sniebel looks like

Which Pokémon can be shiny? The list of possible shinies is long again. Especially in the small raid levels, many possible shinies are included:

  • Zubat
  • Shuppet
  • Sheinux
  • Rettan
  • Zwirrlicht
  • Driftlon
  • Tragosso
  • Sniebel
  • Tannza
  • Traunfugil
  • Flunkifer
  • Alola-Kokowei
  • Sichlor
  • Alola-Raichu
  • Alola-Knogga
  • Absol

How long will the bosses stay like this? The event with Team Rocket ends on August 1. Mewtwo will even disappear a day earlier on July 31.

So we can expect new raid bosses by August 1 at the latest, which will then correspond to the new legendary Pokémon.

Firmware Update 7.00 of PS4 increases party size – What else is in it?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The PlayStation 4 will soon receive the new firmware 7.00. Some players can already test the beta version. What are the new features?

How can you get firmware 7.00? Currently, only selected users have access to the new firmware. These players can invite 19 more friends to join. So if you have such an invitation, you can bring in additional testers.

The general public will, therefore, be excluded for now, and the new firmware will still be tested.

Now the group size is increased to 16. So those playing with many friends can now talk in larger parties.

This feature was already included in a previous test firmware but was ultimately removed along with the test version. Now there is another attempt.

Fewer restarts required: What will also please many players is fewer restarts. If the PS4 needs to perform minor system updates, it will not restart afterwards, but it should run in the background.

However, this probably only applies to minor updates. Larger versions will still involve a restart.

MMORPG Black Desert: Experiment failed? Social class does get combat update

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

An update has been announced for the heavily debated Shai class of the MMORPG Black Desert Online. This update transforms the class, originally designed for “Social,” into better fighters.

What is a Shai? The Shai class (and race) was introduced to the MMORPG Black Desert Online in June. It is a support class that aids its allies with buffs, healing, and shields. It is the first healing class in the online game. However, it can also attack with a boomerang.

The Shai are not really designed for combat, but rather for the “Social” part of the MMORPG. They are meant to play differently, allowing players to focus on the social aspects of BDO.

However, many players want to be able to fight with their characters. This has led to a desire for the Shai to become more effective in combat.

https://youtu.be/V27Zr7GgSF0

New Musical Talents

What does the update bring? Pearl Abyss has announced that the Shai class will receive new abilities and can unlock talents as a result.

From Level 56, you will complete a quest line that grants you the magical leaf of the Maestra, the “Sol” item, which allows you to learn music.

You will decide based on the abilities whether you want to play a “Tring” in the form of a lute, the “Tute” with a flute, or the “TamTam” on three drums. Depending on the instrument, you will unlock further abilities that you use in combat. The main abilities include:

  • Misty Haze – a beautiful sound that puts the listener to sleep
  • Harder, Faster! – an energetic sound that strengthens your allies
  • Forest’s Echo – a sound with the power of nature that prevents your enemies from moving

The new update makes the class significantly more relevant for combat. It’s worth playing Shai now even if you’re not just in the “Social” area, but also want to experience adventures and fight.

When is the update coming? The Shai class will receive the new abilities on July 31st.

Black Desert Online Shai Music

A Controversial People

How are the Shai currently received? When the race was announced, there were controversial discussions about their appearance. The Shai are small and delicate, resembling children. Therefore, the model for the “western” version of Black Desert was given pajamas. The Shai people in our version do not wear regular underwear.

This has led to discussions about “preemptive censorship.” Additionally, many find the pajamas unattractive. Pearl Abyss explained that they wanted to consider cultural differences in various countries. Nevertheless, this discussion is still ongoing in the community of the MMORPG.

Nonetheless, the Shai class has managed to win the hearts of many players. Especially those who like such cute races, so-called “Loli” races, appreciate the Shai and are now looking forward to the update that will give the class even more depth.

Moreover, many are glad that the Shai can now be better utilized in fights and can be used more diversely.

7 guilds fail against the current WoW end boss, now comes a huge nerf

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The current final boss of World of Warcraft is too hard. For days, the professional guilds have been failing against Azshara. Now a nerf is coming that could signal the end.

Queen Azshara has proven to be quite a tough final boss in World of Warcraft, at least in the mythical mode. The big professional guilds like Limit and Method have already racked up several hundred attempts and are barely managing to bring Azshara to 50% of her health. However, the subsequent phase transition has so far almost always spelled death.

Azshara is still holding her own – especially due to her minions.

What is the problem? The battle against Queen Azshara has many phases where there is a lot to keep track of. Especially the third phase is currently nearly impossible to clear. Additional enemies (adds) appear here, which must be defeated quickly.

There are only 2 minutes for this, as after that the adds go into an enrage and kill the raid within seconds. The adds also enrage when Azshara drops to 50% health, initiating the next phase.

You can watch the professionals live here.

This is also the reason why the best pulls of the guilds Method and Limit are at around 50% remaining health of Azshara and little progress is being made.

7 guilds are at 7/8 bosses. Image source: wowprogress

This is how Blizzard plans to improve things: Meanwhile, the developers have announced a clear nerf for Azshara. They are increasing the enrage timer for the adds that appear in the fight to 3 minutes. This gives raid groups a full minute more time to defeat the respective enemies and prepare for the phase transition. This should result in the adds rarely going into an enrage – unless Azshara reaches the magical 50% threshold too early.

Is that enough to defeat Azshara? Whether the nerf is enough to finally bring Azshara down will likely be shown in a few hours. However, it should not be forgotten that the Naga lady still has around 50% of her health remaining and that the professional guilds need to master further mechanics in the last phase. In any case, the nerf should ensure that the guilds can soon push well below the 50% mark.

Are you following the “World First” race regarding Queen Azshara? Which guild do you think deserves the first kill?

Destiny 2: These annoying issues will finally be history with update 2.5.2

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

In a short while, Destiny 2 will receive the new update 2.5.2. This patch will address numerous issues and bugs that have been plaguing Guardians for some time. What is changing?

This update is about: Next Tuesday, July 30, the new update 2.5.2 will be released. This patch will not only bring the new summer event, Solstice of Heroes, to the game but will also tackle some annoying problems that Destiny 2 is currently facing.

What’s changing in Destiny 2 with update 2.5.2

Where is the information coming from? In the recent “This Week at Bungie” blog, Bungie revealed the changes players can expect next Tuesday. They have only presented a few highlights, and there will be more changes coming. However, these will only be published in the respective patch notes on the day of the update.

destiny-lord-der-woelfe2

Lord of Wolves will be adjusted: The exotic shotgun Lord of Wolves is currently terrorizing the Crucible on PC. This will soon come to an end as the weapon will be adjusted by Bungie:

  • The amount of ammunition granted by the respective looter perks while the exotic perk “Release the Wolves” is active will be reduced.
  • The effective range of the weapon will be reduced.
  • When “Release the Wolves” is active, the range will be further curtailed.

By the way: Lord of Wolves will not only be nerfed due to its terror reign but will also be honored: This is how Destiny 2 wants to honor a weapon that terrorizes PvP

Eisenbanner grind for the armor quest will be easier: Since the start of Season 7, set pieces of the new Iron Banner armor have to be obtained through a quest. However, many Guardians felt that this was too grind-heavy, and some steps were artificially prolonged. Many fans were annoyed by this new quest.

As announced by Bungie, the requirements for some steps of this quest will be adjusted for future Iron Banner events, such as:

  • The number of required grenade kills will be reduced by 50%. Grenade kills by allies count just as much as your own. Many Guardians believe this is one of the most annoying steps ever.
  • The number of required sword kills will be reduced, and sword kills by allies count just as much as your own.

Penalty for cheating in the Bad Juju quest is coming: Not everyone has earned the Exotic weapon Bad Juju from Season 7 honestly. Some Guardians have cheated in this quest and taken shortcuts on the necessary tributes. Bungie will now take action against this.

How – you can find out here: Cheated for the Bad Juju quest? Here’s what the penalty looks like

And this is how you can get Bad Juju normally: Bad Juju is back – Here’s how to get the new exotic weapon

An annoying triumph for the tribute hall will be adjusted: There was long confusion about how to earn two tributes.

Finally, Bungie explained that they can only be earned by playing a weapons and armor loadout that consists of specific Calus items, meaning it exclusively comes from the following activities:

  • Leviathan Raid
  • Taken King Raid Zone
  • Starfire Protocol Raid Zone
  • The Menagerie (Opulent set pieces for armor)
  • “Crown of Sorrows” Raid

Bungie is soon making life easier for Guardians. Here’s what’s changing for these tributes:

  • The tributes “Gladiator of the Emperor” (Earn Valor in the Crucible) and “Rogue in Uniform” (Earn Infamy in Gambit) no longer require a full Calus gear loadout to make progress.
  • Players will now earn more progress, just like with other tributes, the more Calus items they equip.

Sword drops in the Menagerie will be adjusted: For some players, the new class swords from the Menagerie were a mystery. They are reserved for the heroic mode of this activity. While many received them right away upon their first heroic completion, others haven’t seen them at all. This is set to change as follows:

  • On the very first successful run of the heroic mode in the Menagerie, the corresponding class sword will drop with 100% probability.
  • In all subsequent successful runs, you will have a 25% chance of receiving a sword.
Destiny-2-Crucible-pvp

Annoying performance issues will be fixed: Destiny 2 has been facing performance issues for some time. These should now be resolved with the new update.

  • For example, the extremely annoying issue where players could not spawn during a Crucible match will be fixed.
  • Notifications about successfully completed bounties and quests should also be displayed correctly again.

What do you think about these changes? Is there any urgent issue in Destiny 2 in your view that needs addressing? Keep in mind that this is just a sample selection and not a complete list of all changes.

All about the Event with Team Rocket

What are the bonuses? The main factor here is clearly the new shinies. There are 4 of them. Otherwise, it revolves around Pokémon that you already know from the anime and the console games in connection with Team Rocket.

  • The following 4 Pokémon can now be shiny: Rettan, Smogon, Sniebel, and Zubat
  • Special Pokémon are hatching more frequently from eggs
  • New raid bosses dominate the arenas

What’s up with the shinies? While Niantic announced Rettan and Smogon as shiny, Sniebel and Zubat have been confirmed by diligent players.

The biggest loser has his own planet in Borderlands 3

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 3 an old acquaintance returns, who initially had nothing to his name. Now he owns an entire planet.

In a few weeks, the long-awaited release of Borderlands 3 is finally coming. This much-anticipated loot shooter continues the story of its predecessors and brings back some characters from Tales From The Borderlands. The main character of the game, Rhys, is also back in action – in his new role as CEO of Atlas.

Who is Rhys? Rhys was one of the protagonists from Tales from the Borderlands. At that time, he was still an employee of Hyperion, but always aimed to step into the shoes of Handsome Jack. He almost succeeds too well because an AI modeled after Handsome Jack ends up in his cyborg components and tries to carry out its own plans.

Although Rhys was portrayed as a “loser” in the game, he evolves into a calculating and witty hero, who ultimately reaps his reward – control over the Atlas corporation.

What is Rhys’ role in Borderlands 3? In Borderlands 3, Rhys is the current CEO of the mega-corporation Atlas. Thus, Rhys is also on the planet Promethea, where Atlas’s main base is located.

Here, for the first time, the technique of the Eridians was found, the strange aliens from Borderlands 1. Atlas decoded this technology and created their own weapons from it.

Other familiar heroes are also back – like Tiny Tina!

The planet Promethea is currently under the control of Rhys and Atlas, although the weapon manufacturer is in open war with Maliwan (another arms manufacturer). Aside from that, there are also plenty of other creatures on Promethea that want to dominate the city planet and assault the automated turrets of the weapon manufacturers.

Rhys has a funny last name: The trailer also revealed the long-unknown last name of Rhys: Strongfork, which translates to something like “Strong Fork”. Whether this rather strange name has a backstory, we will surely learn during Borderlands 3, as players will likely have quite a bit to do with Rhys.

Are you looking forward to finally seeing Rhys again? Or did he annoy you to no end in Tales From the Borderlands?

The Division 2: Maintenance and Server Downtime on July 26th – What is changing?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

Today, July 26, shortly after the release of Title Update 5, there will be emergency maintenance for The Division 2 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There will be several hours of downtime, so the Division servers will go offline. Here is everything you need to know about the maintenance process as well as the patch notes.

Unscheduled maintenance is coming: Yesterday, Thursday, the usual weekly maintenance was skipped. However, for today, Friday, emergency maintenance has now been scheduled – luckily, not during prime time.

When is The Division 2 offline today and when can players return?

Here’s the official schedule for today’s work on the Division servers:

  • The maintenance is set to begin at 9:30 AM German time. At the same time, the server downtime will start.
  • According to Massive, the maintenance work is estimated to take about 3 hours. During this time, you will not be able to play – at least not The Division 2.
  • If everything goes according to plan, the servers are expected to be back online by 12:30 PM German time. Then you can dive back into the battles for D.C.
The Division 2 Expedition

What changes today during maintenance? The primary reason for the maintenance appears to be an issue with the Defender Drone. This skill has been faulty since the release of Title Update 5. Using this drone can cause the skill user to become completely immune to all incoming damage for a period of time.

Especially in PvP, this phenomenon currently ruins the experience for many players – especially when encountering a full team that exploits this bug.

What do the patch notes say? The official patch notes are now available – here’s what’s included:

  • A bug has been fixed that made the Defender Drone temporarily invulnerable to its user.
  • A crash issue was resolved that sometimes caused the game to crash when a team member was kicked.
  • A problem was fixed where the Firefly skill could not target more than 3 enemies.
  • A problem was resolved where the notification for level-ups or new field expertise was not displayed correctly.

Destiny 2: No More Event Engrams – New Cosmetics Cost Something during the New Event

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the summer event Solstice of Heroes is just around the corner. Many Guardians are already looking forward to it. However, this also brings a change that concerns many fans. What’s going on?

What is the Solstice of Heroes? The Solstice of Heroes is an annual summer event that marks the end of the respective Destiny year, in this case, the second, allowing Guardians to celebrate their achievements and accomplishments.

Traditionally, there are also a variety of new theme-inspired cosmetic items through the Eververse. However, this year the Solstice event gets a significant change from Bungie.

You can find out more about it here: Solstice of Heroes is coming – What’s in the summer highlight of Destiny 2

This is what the change is about: Although there will still be many event-specific items through the Eververse during the Solstice of Heroes 2019, these can no longer be earned in the form of event engrams. The event engrams for the Eververse will be completely removed for the Solstice. Whether this will also apply to subsequent events is not yet known.

The individual event items can then be purchased directly from Tess Everis’s shop using real-money currency Silver and the in-game currency Glimmer. Each event-specific item will be guaranteed available during the Solstice event for Glimmer.

Previously, every level-up after reaching the maximum character level during events rewarded players with double Glimmer engrams: one from the respective season and one event engram, from which the event-specific rewards were obtained—alongside the existing Eververse offerings.

Destiny 2 tess everis

There was a duplicate protection for event engrams. An item could only be obtained again once all items from the event loot pool were already collected. Players considered this a fair and balanced method to obtain event rewards.

What does this mean for players? Specifically, this means: Apart from the armor, you will now receive event-specific rewards if you pay for them—either with Silver or Glimmer. You can no longer earn them.

If you

  • only have limited Glimmer reserves and have little time during the event to earn more
  • and/or do not acquire enough Glimmer by dismantling existing Eververse items

then it might be difficult for you to collect all the desired items from the summer event.

What do the fans say? Although the prices for the items are not yet known, many players fear that Guardians with little Glimmer may be pushed to reach for their wallets if they really want to have this or that item.

In the past, you had a good chance to earn everything completely for free through the event engrams—given enough time. Many fans now say that the event has lost a lot of its appeal for them since they have little Glimmer but do not want to spend money on the new items.

Many consider the event engrams in their previous form to be one of the best decisions Bungie made regarding the previously criticized Eververse, and therefore cannot understand this step.

Others support this change because now each event item can be specifically purchased with in-game currency. Chance is completely eliminated, provided you have enough Glimmer or, if necessary, Silver—a change many players have desired for some time, especially when they have little time to play.

Conversely, some speculate that Bungie might now be intentionally trying to deplete the Glimmer resources of Guardians before the release of Shadowkeep. Because the Glimmer economy of the Eververse will be revised with this expansion.

Whether it will indeed become easier to acquire sufficient Glimmer remains to be seen. Some think it is conceivable that Bungie wants to prevent larger accumulations of Glimmer.

What do you think of this change? Right decision? Or do you wish for the event engrams with the previous system back? Let us know in the comments.

Guild Wars 2 finally gets legendary runes and sigils, players fear the costs

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

Guild Wars 2 has announced legendary runes and sigils for the upcoming patch on Tuesday, July 30. Players fear, based on initial information, that the costs for this new feature could explode.

What is special about the legendary runes and sigils? In Guild Wars 2, armor pieces can be upgraded with runes and weapons with sigils. Besides the actual attributes of the weapon, these upgrades provide additional bonuses.

Legendary equipment has the unique feature that the attributes can be changed freely at any time. This was not possible with runes and sigils before. They had to be manually swapped constantly.

That is supposed to change now.

More on the topic
Guild Wars 2 wants to revive old content: using a proven trick from Guild Wars 1
von Alexander Leitsch

How do the new runes and sigils work? In the first step, you need to create a legendary upgrade at the Mystic Forge. This is then applied to an armor piece or weapon.

After that, you can change the values of this legendary upgrade at any time. These upgrades can be applied to any armor and weapon and removed without an extractor.

However, they have no special effect. They can also be combined with existing exotic runes to obtain the set bonuses.

The image shows how to select any rune in a legendary version:

The new feature is part of many quality of life updates in recent months. In March, the entire loot system was overhauled and at the end of 2018, there were major adjustments to player inventory.

However, players are extremely skeptical about the costs of the legendary runes and sigils. These could explode.

More on the topic
Does Guild Wars 2 really need a successor Guild Wars 3?
von Alexander Leitsch

Legendary runes and sigils could become expensive

Why are players skeptical? To create the new version, the Mystic Forge is required. A new gift must be used, which must be unlocked during an event. And this gift is causing players concerns.

A data miner found the Gift of Upgrades weeks ago, which could have been introduced into the game specifically for this purpose. It requires:

  • 250x Piles of Shimmering Crystals
  • 250x Talisman of Brilliance
  • 250x Talisman of Skill
  • 250x Talisman of Power

The prices of these materials were already high beforehand and have exploded now. The talismans cost between 55 silver and 1.2 gold. For each upgrade alone, that would be over 700 gold.

For all six armor pieces and four weapon slots, one would need over 7,000 gold. For that amount, you could easily buy all the runes and sigils in the game in multiple copies along with large bags for storage.

This new feature is, from the perspective of many players on Reddit, not an improvement but rather aims to rip gold from players’ pockets.

Guild Wars 2 Living Story Episode 2

How is the recipe for the Mystic Forge unlocked? To get the recipe for the legendary upgrades, a community event in Lion’s Arch must be carried out first.

On July 30, along with the release of the patch, an event will begin where players can use piles of shimmering crystals in exchange for loot bags.

Once enough has been donated by all players, the recipe will unlock globally for everyone.

This new feature also comes again without a new episode of the Living World. Small patches are piling up, which our author Alexander Leitsch appreciates:

If you play Wolfenstein: Youngblood, be sure to check out Elite Hans

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be released today, on July 25 on PC. Shortly thereafter on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. During the pre-test, our author Benedict noticed an Easter egg that everyone should see.

What is this Easter egg? While playing and testing the new Wolfenstein, I noticed some slot machines that are standing around in the catacombs, the resistance base, during my second session. You don’t even need co-op for them.

Unlike the machines elsewhere, these can be used. And they run “Elite Hans”, a quite old-looking but very amusing game that proves to be a fantastic Easter egg at first glance.

Wolfenstein Youngblood Elite Hans Arcade
The “Elite Hans” machines in the catacombs.

Elite Hans, or: The Story of Wolfenstein

Who or what is Elite Hans? Elite Hans is a character in Wolfenstein: Youngblood who has a game series of the same name. You can play “Elite Hans 2: The New Order” at the machines. (Note: The character is written with a hyphen, the game without)

The games are integrated with old 3D graphics with many pixels and rudimentary controls. You can aim left and right and move on a level, similar to the old parts of Serious Sam or DOOM.

Wolfenstein Youngblood Elite Hans Gameplay

Elite Hans himself is a blue-eyed, blonde fighter in his games who fights against Americans, Soviets, and other opponents to escape from buildings that look heavily like prisons.

The character has existed in Wolfenstein for a longer time. He was already used as propaganda in the direct predecessor “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus” and even a video game about Elite Hans was playable.

That’s why the game is so important: The “Elite Hans” series and specifically “Elite Hans 2” is visually almost an exact copy of the classic game “Wolfenstein 3D” from 1992. Almost everything looks identical.

The only difference is that you play as a war veteran in “Elite Hans” who takes on the Wiesenau Circle and fights B.J. Blazkowicz – that very Blazkowicz who is the protagonist of the Wolfenstein games.

Wolfenstein Youngblood Elite Hans Blazkowicz Poster

A major and important factor is: The game is a lot of fun. In my first session, I needed nine levels and 15 minutes for the first of the two episodes (“Escape from Wolfstone”). I haven’t quite finished the second episode (“Operation: Terror”). However, after my impressions of Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Elite Hans really captivated me.

How does Youngblood handle this? What I find splendid about the Easter egg is how Youngblood implements “Elite Hans”. There is quite a bit of backstory available for “Elite Hans” here, unlike in the predecessors.

You can find a cassette in the game where a Swedish resistance fighter explains the character of Elite Hans and the game series. A sequel to the game called “Return to Castle Wolfstone” was also supposed to be released, but it never came due to the revolution in America.

Wolfenstein Youngblood Elite Hans Kassette

He also says that he would like to access the source data. He would then want to create a game where you play as a resistance fighter. And to make it sound a bit more Germanic, he would name it “Castle Wolfenstein” … Well, does it ring a bell?

Anyone who wants to see Elite Hans can play Youngblood on PC starting July 25 at 7:00 PM. The release for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch is on July 26.

For the release, Pagan Online fulfills the greatest wish of the community

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The Diablo MMO Pagan Online finally has a release date and will be officially launching soon. The developers have planned a ton of new content and features, including a function that the community has long desired.

What is Pagan Online? This game is an action RPG like Diablo that you can play online with other players. It takes place in a wild world shaped by Slavic mythology where you drop down from the sky as a hero to smash a lot of monsters and collect loot in fast-paced action.

The game is being developed under the aegis of Wargaming and is currently available in Early Access for PC. That is set to change soon, as a release date has finally been announced.

Pagan Online Tank Hero Istok Title

Release and a ton of new content

When is Pagan Online coming? The release date for the game is set for August 27, 2019.

What does Pagan Online cost? You can buy the game at launch for 24.99 Euro. The early access version is currently available on Steam for 16.99 Euro.

What else will be included in the release? Similar to the infamous “Big Fucking Patch” earlier in July, the release update of Pagan includes a lot of content:

  • Complete story campaign with 8 acts and new maps and bosses
  • Two more heroes, an ice construct with two weapons and a guy who burns everything
  • You can make legendary weapons even more powerful and upgrade them to “Fabled Weapons”
  • Ultra-rare gear sets
  • Looting and crafting will be revamped to become more meaningful
  • Each hero will get a new skill tree
  • Endgame content for those who have seen everything else
Pagan Online Screenshot Player in Social Hub 2

Finally Controller Support

This is what players wanted the most: In addition to all these goodies, there’s another feature that the developers say was particularly close to the fans’ hearts. Pagan Online was designed for PC gamers and only utilized control via WASD.

https://youtu.be/QzLL5rtr_9E

However, an “overwhelming majority” of players would have liked to connect a gamepad and play with it. Action RPGs are simply more fun for many players like that.

Therefore, the developers came to a realization, and with the launch on August 27, the long-awaited controller support for Pagan Online will also be added.

Destiny 2 down for 2 hours today – Maintenance on 25.07.

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 the servers are down today, July 25, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Bungie is only performing maintenance, but the downtime coincides with your evening break.

Yesterday afternoon, Bungie announced via Twitter that the servers are down. This is the reason why you cannot play right now, as the servers are currently being maintained. The downtime was planned to start at 5:30 PM, but Destiny was already unavailable half an hour earlier.

When can you play again? Various times are important. We give you an overview:

  • The maintenance is taking place for both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2, across all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC).
  • The servers are down from 5 PM to 7 PM. You cannot log into the game. Originally, the downtime was supposed to begin at 5:30, but the servers were offline precisely at 5 PM.
  • The maintenance will last until 11 PM. However, you can log in again at 7 PM and get back to playing.

Bungie shared these times, but they are not a precise guarantee. The servers could also come back online a bit later.

Update 7:32 PM: After it was initially said that the maintenance would be extended until 9 PM, Bungie now reports that the Destiny 2 servers are back online. The maintenance is over.

What is Bungie changing in Destiny 2 today?

Are any changes known? The developers have not revealed any further details about the server downtime. Therefore, it is not known whether the maintenance might bring about small changes or fixes.

So it seems likely that nothing major will happen, as Bungie would announce something like that in advance.

Destiny-2-Trio

This is why maintenance is annoying: The server downtime happens for German players exactly when most people are off work. So the rounds of casual gaming get pushed back, as it can only commence after 7 PM.

What can you do instead? There is a lot going on in Destiny 2 right now. To ensure you are up to date when you log back in, you can check out the following articles:

When you can play again, you should try this challenging task. This is how you get the Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition for free:
