Pokémon GO: This small extension makes thousands of players happy

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

A great wish of many players in Pokémon GO is fulfilled: You can now expand your Pokémon box.

Niantic announced: Via Twitter, Niantic announced that the Pokémon box can now contain 500 more slots. So you can carry up to 2500 Pokémon at the same time.

This is the first expansion since November 2018. Back then you could expand from 1500 to 2000. Players are happy because their Pokémon box was extremely full again lately.

That’s why the expansion was so highly requested

This happened in recent months: The Pokémon box became fuller again in recent months. Since November, many new Pokémon have been added, which of course must be accommodated somewhere.

In addition to the new monsters from Generation 4, there were also new hat Pikachu, new Shinies, and now also Crypto-Pokémon. Diligent collectors do not want to part with them and want to keep at least one specimen each.

New Pokémon are filling up the Pokémon box quite a bit

The result is an overflowing Pokémon box. Especially with the introduction of Crypto-Pokémon, the cries for a larger box grew louder. Niantic has now responded to this wish.

What does expanding cost? An expansion by 50 slots costs as usual 200 coins. So if you want to get the full 500 slots, you need to pay 2000 coins. This corresponds to about 20 euros.

How do players react to this? The enthusiasm is great. The thread on the topic receives over 4000 upvotes on Reddit and the comments below are largely positive.

  • XUndeadA55asinX: “Good timing, just as I started to reach the previous maximum of 2000. I just wish they would completely overhaul the Pokémon box system rather than just increasing it bit by bit.”
  • arcreature: “I’m glad they didn’t wait as long as last time to increase it. This is great news for many players.”
  • Exaskryz: “Yes! Now I can enjoy Community Day with Trasla.”
Pikachu Ash
Players are excited about the expansion

What is still being wished for: After the Pokémon box was enlarged for the second time in a row, some players are now wishing for an expansion of the item bag. After all, it has been at 2000 items for a long time and is very full for many players.

However, Niantic has not yet announced anything regarding this. So we will have to wait and see if they actually want to enlarge the bag.

Another reason for joy for many players is the introduction of Shiny Rayquaza:

The original MMORPG Dragons Prophet is ending – What about our version?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Dragons Prophet has no future in its home Taiwan anymore. In early September, the servers will shut down. What does this mean for the game in the West?

What will happen to Dragons Prophet in Asia? The MMORPG Dragons Prophet from the Taiwanese developer Runewaker (Runes of Magic) will soon come to an end in Asia. The servers of the MMORPG are set to be shut down on September 5. Thus, the online role-playing game will be history in its home after a good 6 years and will no longer be playable.

Why are the servers shutting down? Dragons Prophet is not the only game from Runewaker that will soon be shut down. Also the venerable Runes of Magic will be affected in September. The reason is the overall decline of MMORPGs in Asia, where mobile games have largely outperformed the major PC MMORPGs.

Can the West version survive without the original?

What about the West version of the game? Here in the West, Dragons Prophet is distributed under the title “Dragons Prophet: Savage Hunt” by the publisher Gamigo. The game surprisingly released in December 2017 as a reboot without much announcement.

Dragons Prophet - Screenshot

On the Polish MMO site MMORPG.pl, there are already concerns that Dragons Prophet may not have a great future in the West, and only a few games will survive the downfall of the Asian original version in the West.

However, at least for Runes of Magic, which is published by Gameforge in the West, it was said immediately that they would definitely continue the game. Perhaps it will also work out for Gamigo and Dragons Prophet.

What is Dragons Prophet? Dragons Prophet is an MMORPG aimed mainly at fans of Pokémon. Because you can catch and tame over 600 dragons in the game. These creatures are suitable as mounts, and you can even fly on them.

By the way, Dragon’s Prophet already ended in the USA in 2015 under the former publisher Daybreak Games.

Fortnite removes 14-year-old from World Cup match – This is what he did wrong

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

At the Fortnite Solo World Championship, a 14-year-old player was removed from the last match. Epic accuses him of peeking over his own monitor and looking at the large spectator screens in the hall – and this happened more than once.

This player is: It is about Mark “Letw1k3” Danilov, a 14-year-old Russian who plays for Gambit eSports and participated in the Fortnite World Cup.

Allegation: He peeked – and did so multiple times

What did he do? Danilov is accused of having peeked.

He is alleged to have looked over his own monitor at the spectator screens multiple times. Therefore, Danilov was removed from the match in the midst of the 6th game.

Fortnite-Marshmello-Concert
The World Cup was a spectacle – with a performance by Marshmello. Many monitors were hanging in the hall.

An Epic Games spokesperson stated that Danilov had peeked at a spectator monitor multiple times and had been warned:

„After multiple warnings to the player, a penalty was imposed and he was removed from the match. However, he was not disqualified and will not face any further penalties.”

Therefore, the player retains his entry prize of $50,000. He ultimately placed 59th out of 100 with 11 points.

He violated this rule: According to the rules of the Fortnite World Cup, it is prohibited to look at anything other than one’s own monitor setup.

Players were not allowed to use outside help to find out where other players are or what condition they are in. It is explicitly forbidden to look at the spectator monitors. They show the official stream, which displays scenes from the match currently underway.

A similar issue was had by Fortnite pros Nate Hill and Funkbomb – but that was about a Twitch broadcast.

Boy says: I only heard a noise

This is how the player reacted: In a Twitter clip, you can see the boy after he was removed from the Fortnite match. Danilov, frustrated, puts his hands over his face and struggles with the decision.

The player later said he only looked around because he heard a loud noise. In any case, he apparently had a bad day, as Epic had given him the wrong keyboard.

Some fans criticize Epic

This is how fans are reacting: Epic’s decision is being controversially discussed, especially on Twitter. People are particularly upset that such a minor infraction is being punished so harshly, as Danilov only looked away from his monitor for a few seconds.

Again, the player XXiF is referenced as a cautionary example. He was caught cheating, banned for two weeks, and still managed to qualify for the World Cup.

Furthermore, other players also looked at the spectator monitor, but only Danilov was punished.

It is only natural to take a quick glance at a large monitor when one is taking a moment to relax. The problem is seen more as players having it too easy to look at a monitor. Here, logistical mistakes by Epic are evident.

Note: We obtained the title image from a YouTube video by Gambit-eSports, which is the clan of the young pro.

6 important or at least nice changes that patch 8.2.5 brings to WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The next update for World of Warcraft is coming soon to the PTR. Blizzard has already revealed what’s included. We present the 6 highlights from patch 8.2.5

Just recently Azshara fell in the Mythic mode of the Eternal Palace raid and Blizzard already reveals how World of Warcraft will continue. The next patch with version number 8.2.5 will soon arrive on the PTR. The developers have already disclosed which content will be available. We briefly present the highlights here.

These are the 6 highlights of WoW patch 8.2.5 from the PTR

New models for Worgen and Goblins: For many players, this might be the highlight, as Worgen and Goblins finally receive their new character models. These have been promised since Warlords of Draenor, and now this promise will finally be fulfilled. Their legacy armor will also be revealed.

Timewalking – Firelands: With patch 8.2.5, the old raid “Firelands” will be reworked so that it will also be available during Timewalking: Cataclysm. Players can visit the raid and will be downscaled to the values of that time. However, the rewards within the raid correspond to items that the character can also use well outside the raid at level 120. Who wouldn’t want to hit Ragnaros and his Majordomo Staghelm once again?

If you’ve forgotten – here’s the trailer for the Firelands:

Bee mount for Alliance is coming: Everyone thought this mount was already in the game, but that is not the case. Soon, Alliance players will be able to earn a bee mount and fly through the skies. The questline will somehow begin in Stormsong Valley, but exact details are not yet known.

The bee mount is coming soon for Alliance players.

15th Anniversary Event brings many contents: During the time of patch 8.2.5, World of Warcraft will also celebrate its official 15th birthday. There will be many celebrations and players can dive into three special raids. Here they will fight against the most popular raid bosses of all past expansions. Those who defeat all 9 bosses during the event will receive a special mount that looks like a smaller Deathwing. PvP players can look forward to a “classic” Alterac Valley – without tickets. Here, the game continues until a commander falls.

“Refer a Friend” is returning: Soon, players will be able to refer each other again and grab great rewards. This rewards mounts, pets, game time, and other things. The system will scale with the number of referred players, making it more rewarding than ever. The longer your referred friends buy game time, the more rewards there will be – month by month.

Party Sync brings players together: Another feature Blizzard wants to try is called “Party Sync”. With this, players can lower themselves to the level of their friends in order to be able to run dungeons with them that would otherwise be too easy for them. This should encourage more people to play together and allow veterans to do something with newcomers.

Playing together, regardless of level.

As for the story of patch 8.2.5 – and whether there will be new story quests – no information is available yet. It’s quite possible that patch 8.2.5 focuses only on improvements to existing systems.

Are you looking forward to patch 8.2.5? Or do you still have enough to do with patch 8.2 that you can’t even think about the next patch?

Pokémon GO fulfills huge fan wish: Shiny Rayquaza is coming

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Finally, Shiny Rayquaza is coming to Pokémon GO! It will replace Mewtwo and be available for one month. We will provide you with all the info.

When is Rayquaza coming? The legendary Pokémon will be the replacement for Armored Mewtwo. It will debut on July 31 at 10 PM and will remain in raids until September 2 at 10 PM.

Additionally, it will be available for the first time as Shiny. This excites many players, as Rayquaza has been requested many times in its Shiny form.

All about the release of Shiny Rayquaza

What do you need to know about the Shiny? You will easily recognize the Shiny, as it is black. This is also one reason why it is celebrated, as it is one of the few black Shinies.

Shiny Rayquaza
This is what the Shiny looks like

The probability is probably 1 in 20. That has been the chance for legendary Pokémon so far. So if you participate in a raid every day using your free raid pass, you should have a good chance of getting a Shiny.

Why is Rayquaza celebrated so much? Rayquaza is considered by many players to be the best Pokémon in the game. After all, it is the strongest Dragon attacker and can be useful against almost any Pokémon at least somewhat.

Additionally, Rayquaza has been awaited for a very long time. It is part of the weather trio of the 3rd generation, and the other two legendary Pokémon, Groudon and Kyogre, have been available as Shiny for a long time. However, Rayquaza has been missing, which is why the calls for the Shiny introduction have become louder.

How do I beat Rayquaza? Here, there is also a huge advantage, as Rayquaza can already be easily beaten by two players. This can already be done at level 25.

Title image Rayquaza Level 25
Rayquaza is especially vulnerable to Ice-type moves

You need to use effective Pokémon of type Ice, Dragon, Fairy, and Rock. The best counter here is Mamoswine with Ice attacks.

A huge mod brings new endgame to Diablo 2 – Do you know it already?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

With the Median XL mod, Diablo 2 is heavily overhauled. We show you what changes in the game and for whom the modification is worthwhile.

What is Median XL? Median XL is a free modification for Blizzard’s Diablo 2. In January 2019, the mod received a huge update with the Sigma update. This brings many improvements, such as the option for a 1024×768 resolution instead of the usual 800×600 for Diablo 2.

Diablo 2 Wallpaper

The mod completely overhauls Diablo 2. There are new areas, various new abilities, and of course even more loot. Each class learns 30 new skills through Median XL. Other skills can also be unlocked by completing quests. This allows for entirely new builds.

The endgame is significantly expanded by the mod with over 40 new quests. In these tasks, you must prove your skills with your character, farm effectively, and uncover secrets. Additionally, there are convenience features, such as the automatic pickup of gold, which make gameplay easier.

For more information and the download, you can visit the official Median XL website.

What interesting things have happened in Median XL? The modification continues to be expanded. Just in December 2018, the huge Sigma update with a new engine was released. Shortly thereafter, in January, it was announced that 34 new game servers were activated. In total, there are 53 servers.

Who is Median XL worth it for?

Many wonder if Diablo 2 becomes more interesting with this mod or if it is now more worthwhile to play. Based on its features, it can be roughly defined for whom this mod is worth it with Diablo 2.

The mod utilizes the English version of Diablo 2. Those who are not keen on that and are not proficient in English may have less fun with Median XL.

Diablo 2 Wallpaper 2

Diablo 2 fans who played back in the day: Anyone looking to dive back into the nostalgia of Diablo 2 and refresh their experiences could have fun with this mod. There are new, tougher content and a revamped endgame. This could be worth it for you. With the many new content, Diablo 2 is significantly expanded again and offers old fans reasons to install it again.

However, the visuals remain the same. This is not a remaster version, but just a slightly polished game. If you are not playing for the feeling and now place more value on graphics, you will have to look the other way.

Players who have never played Diablo 2: Those who have never played Diablo 2 and are used to the standards of newer games in terms of controls and graphics will have a hard time with Diablo 2.

Despite Median XL, the game clearly shows its age. To have fun with it, nostalgia feelings should be present that could be awakened.

For those who only started enjoying the Blizzard series with Diablo 3, it might be tough to get excited about Diablo 2 in 2019. However, it is not impossible. We recommend first watching gameplay and then forming an opinion about the game + mod.

Thousands of Warframe players celebrate a video because it reminds them of earlier times

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Warframe has a helpful and social community, where teamwork is highly valued. Therefore, a video featuring an experienced player looking after a newcomer was very well received. This brought a lot of joy and nostalgic feelings to Warframe fans.

What can be seen in the video? In the Reddit video, you can see a little “Baby-Space-Ninja” sneaking through the jungles of Earth with great concentration, trying hard to avoid every enemy or stealthily assassinate them from behind.

But to ensure everything goes well, he has his Space-Ninja Master, an experienced Tenno, with him. He is far better equipped and follows the newcomer closely in the background.

Whenever the rookie gets in over his head, he intervenes, but otherwise, he lets the “little one” do his thing, although he could easily wipe the entire map in a few minutes with his super-duper Tenno skills.

Attention: If you do not see a video here, follow this link to the relevant Reddit thread.

Video evokes nostalgia: “That’s how I started too!”

This is how the video was received: On Reddit, the video was received with great favor. It received over 5,000 upvotes and more than 400 comments. Fans praised that they too had started in this way and had stealthily rushed through the levels:

  • “If you don’t solve everything with Bullet Jump and nukes, the game really can pass as a stealth title!”
  • “I always play spy missions like this, as roleplay.”
  • “That’s how I played for the first few hours. I took it quite seriously and explored every corner of the maps. I think my first spy mission took me 45 minutes. Not because it was so hard, but because I was constantly sneaking around the levels in a crouch.”
  • “That’s how it was way back when. I honestly miss the atmosphere that Warframe had in its early days.”
  • “As a newcomer with less than 20 hours of experience, I played most of the missions this way. I only recently switched to a somewhat less stealthy assault rifle and am mowing down enemies with it now. But that’s not as much fun.”
warframe-weltraum-trip-titel-01

Others praise the helpfulness of the “caretaker,” who keeps a close watch over his protege:

  •  “I love welcoming new players on Earth. I encountered a player with MR 0 in a mission and watched him struggle through it. I don’t know why, but I just find new players adorable.
  • “When I see a newcomer, I make sure not to rush past him at a zillion miles per hour.”
  • “Sometimes I just stand in front of the gates of Cetus or Fortuna to see the new players. It makes me happy.”

This is what Warframe looks like when you don’t play it casually: As a stark contrast, we have included a speedrun that takes down the Jackal boss in 68 seconds. A newcomer would have barely eliminated a few enemies in that time and would be quite astonished if the mission ended in just under a minute.

Pokémon GO gives hints: Could shiny crypto Pokémon be coming soon?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

A mysterious tweet from Pokémon GO is now making many players hope for shiny Crypto-Pokémon. We tell you what was shown.

What was shown? The tweet from the official Twitter account of Pokémon GO is much more an image puzzle. A black circle and stars are shown.

Many players are sure: This is about Shiny Crypto-Pokémon, which currently do not exist. Niantic has not confirmed this yet.

What’s behind the mysterious tweet

How realistic are Shinys: After the initial hype surrounding Team Rocket has subsided, shiny Cryptos are definitely conceivable. Players often complain about how useless the Cryptos are. Zubat, Rattfratz, and Schiggy can do nothing.

Shinys would change the situation. There would at least be another incentive for a battle.

Crypto Pokemon
Could Crypto-Pokémon soon be Shiny?

What do other theories say? Other players suspect that the post is an announcement for Darkrai. It is, after all, a Dark-type Pokémon and would fit with the black circles in the tweet.

Others say that it hints at Shiny Rayquaza. After all, the shiny form does not exist yet, and the form is black. So it could fit, especially since a new raid boss will appear on July 31.

Shiny Rayquaza
Could Shiny Rayquaza be behind this?

Other players relate the post to the lunar phases. On August 1, there is a new moon, which is sometimes also called “Dark Moon”. A fitting event would be conceivable.

When will we know more? Normally, Niantic resolves such mysterious tweets quite quickly. So we can expect more information in the coming days.

What do you think? What could be behind the image puzzle from Twitter?

PUBG: Tournament series is running so catastrophically that developers have to intervene

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

During a tournament of the shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) in Thailand, chaotic scenes allegedly unfolded. In the end, some participants left before it concluded.

What kind of tournament was it? Last weekend, the PUBG MET Asia Series was held in Thailand. Numerous players from various Asian countries faced off against each other.

However, the tournament series went so disastrously that PUBG intervened and issued a statement regarding it. They canceled a Wild Card spot, citing the impossibility of maintaining competitive integrity.

The Tournament Unfolded Chaotically

The news is credible: Generally, the news surrounding the tournament is very chaotic and disorganized. Especially Chinese media report poorly about the tournament series, but solid evidence cannot be presented. This is particularly controversial, as PUBG has been under criticism in China for a long time.

This is supposed to have happened: According to some media reports, a power outage in the middle of a round caused chaos. Before the outage, the PCL China team was leading, but after the match restarted, they played poorly. Therefore, they were at a disadvantage.

Additionally, some spectators of the tournament allegedly provided tips to the local SEA team from Thailand from the stands. The opponent, a Chinese team, then felt disadvantaged.

According to the site “mmoculture“, Chinese media accused a Korean team of cheating. However, there is no concrete evidence for this, which makes the allegations seem rather arbitrary.

In the end, the headphones provided by the organizer allegedly did not work properly.

Fortnite: Teaser 2 for Season 10 shows Robot – Here are the theories

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Teaser #2 for Season 10 in Fortnite: Battle Royale is here. The image shows something like a robot, and the caption suggests futuristic content. We show you the most popular theories about it.

This is the second teaser: On Monday afternoon around 4:00 PM German time, Fortnite officially released its second teaser for the upcoming 10th season “Season X”.

Fortnite Season X Teaser 2

The image is mostly dark, showing the body of a supposed robot with 2 weapons on its arms. In the background, the “X” shines in bright blue, which apparently stands for Season X (10).

Fortnite writes: “Look Forward”. It also refers to the start date of Season 10, August 1, 2019.

What did the first teaser show? The first teaser for the new Season X was shown by Fortnite during the live stream of the World Championship. This contrasts somewhat with the new teaser, as the first one spoke about looking back instead of forward.

Therefore, there remains the suspicion that Season 10 could be related to time travel. The first teaser showed an old location that players know well.

Return of a skin: Players recognize the logo of the Visitor in the image. This is an outfit that joined Fortnite: Battle Royale in Season 4. Only the most diligent players could earn it.

It is now suspected that the skin will return. Curiously, its flight with the rocket through the dimensional rifts triggered the major events of the later seasons.

Fortnite-Visitor-02

Are mechs coming into play? The second theory revolves around new vehicles. Some players see the robot as a sign that mechs might be released. These are robots that players can enter and control, similar to games like Titanfall.

“I swear to God, if they bring the mechs into play lmao”

Funny: The battle royale spin-off of Titanfall, Apex Legends, has no mechs.

Futuristic content is received mixed in the community. One player writes, “More futuristic stuff? Oh damn, I’m not really a fan of the futuristic stuff Fortnite has brought so far. I hope I’m wrong about this.”

Another writes: “Please, let it be a skin. Please, please no more overpowered new vehicles. These vehicles have been the biggest problem in the last 3 seasons in my opinion.”

Fallout 76: Developers give 3 tips to ensure you don’t fail in the Battle Royale

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

The Battle Royale mode “Nuclear Winter” is still quite new in Fallout 76 and offers unique features. Some players may still have a few issues with it. At QuakeCon 2019, the developers provided some tips on how to win.

Where do the tips come from? During the Fallout 76 panel at QuakeCon 2019, the developers of Fallout 76 were asked about the future and state of the game.

Right at the beginning of the panel, the conversation turned to Nuclear Winter, the new Battle Royale in Fallout 76. This mode is now available as a permanent mode.

Content Manager Anne Lewis noted that she is “not one of the best players” and asked for some tips. Co-Studio Director Tom Mustaine took on the task of providing some helpful advice.

1. Pay attention to the surroundings: Play strategically

What kind of tip is this? Mustaine points out that it can often happen that enemies seem to appear out of nowhere.

He advised that it is important to pay attention to what is happening around you. Fallout 76 offers many details and opportunities to hide.

Fallout 76 Nuclear Winter battle against creatures
Creatures are also a threat in Nuclear Winter.

This leads to the entire environment serving both as protection and as an ambush. One should be careful where one steps and consider whether it is worth searching that suitcase up ahead for loot.

How do I implement this? You can adopt this tip in several ways for your playstyle:

  • Watch out for bushes and trees – could enemies be lurking there?
  • Use the environment itself and hide. Use camouflage to survive.
  • Are you a good shot? Use the environment to set an ambush and take out enemies.

2. Coordinate with each other

What kind of tip is this? In his second tip, it’s about communication and using personal skills as effectively as possible. Teamwork is the keyword here.

In an anecdote, Mustaine explained how he played with Senior Community Manager Jessica Finster. Finster presumably likes to roam the world and the map to grab loot – even in Battle Royale.

Fallout 76 Nuclear Winter pvp

However, she often ends up in the crossfire of other players. Mustaine and other team members now take advantage of this to flank the attackers and eliminate them since they have revealed their position. Finster sees this as a “sacrifice for the team”

How do I implement this? The core of the tip is that you should coordinate with the team. Play together, for example, by:

  • using one player as bait to take out entire teams.
  • coordinating who will loot which house or secure a certain area.
  • coordinating with the team and teaming up with players who complement your playstyle or use the appropriate mutations.

3. Use the C.A.M.P.s

What kind of tip is this? As a final tip, Mustaine notes that Fallout 76 offers the special feature of C.A.M.P.s in Battle Royale. These structures are similar to the building system in the genre king Fortnite.

In Nuclear Winter, you can also use blueprints that you create in Adventure Mode and use in Battle Royale. This is a feature that many forget. Blueprints allow you to place pre-made C.A.M.P.s directly.

As an example, Mustaine mentioned that some players and testers like to place whole forests of small houses or latrines as C.A.M.P.s. In the dozens of huts, players then hope for loot. However, when they search them, the owners of the C.A.M.P.s are waiting there with shotguns to farm easy kills on unsuspecting players.

How do I implement this? The most important thing about the tip is simply not to forget that this building system and the option for blueprints exist:

  • Use Adventure Mode to create blueprints.
  • Think about how you want to build the C.A.M.P.: A trap, a fortress, something offensive, or completely crazy C.A.M.P.s?
  • Use the environment. A forest of houses in the middle of nowhere is likely to be somewhat conspicuous.

Are there any more tips?

This is what the other developers say: Co-Studio Director Mark Tardiff also briefly spoke up. His tip was, however, only that you should team up with players who are better than you. But you shouldn’t rely on his tips because according to his own statement, you would be better off asking him for hair care tips (Note: He has hardly any hair).

Fortnite: Sportschau moderator Julia Scharf “dis” eSports players

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The WM for Fortnite: Battle Royale was commented on in the ARD sports show by presenter Julia Scharf. She had sharp words for the players of BR-Gamers. Now she is backpedaling and explaining herself.

What did the presenter say? The Fortnite WM last weekend was even a topic for the ARD sports show for a contribution, which you can see here in the media library. Under the moderation of Julia Scharf, the Fortnite World Championship was reported on.

However, towards the end of the show, there was a moment that caused a stir. Because the presenter said:

“Children who sit in front of the PC day and night and can no longer tie their shoes themselves. Now you can decide for yourself whether this is sport or not.”

Statement causes a shitstorm, presenter explains herself

Here are the reactions: The contribution and the final statement by Julia Scharf did not go down well with many Fortnite fans. The sentence was described as naive and populist, among other things.

One is also reminded of the quotes from other sports experts who do not want to equate eSport with “real” sports like football, etc..

Title image WM winner
Bugha, the winner of the Solo WM

How did Julia Scharf react? The presenter did not want to let this sit and spoke out via Twitter with two statements. She explained among other things:

  • The sentence she mentioned was not her opinion, but a quote from the doctor Dr. Fischer, who also spoke in the contribution and treats children with Fortnite addiction.
  • She studied sports and therefore has a good understanding of the definition of this term.
  • She primarily wanted to initiate a discussion about how much eSport can be seen as equivalent to traditional sports.

https://twitter.com/JuliaScharf/status/1155533887214411782

The answer to the question she posed should and can be decided by everyone themselves; for her, it was merely about sparking an exciting discussion about whether a game involving shooting is really a “sport.”

However, she did not want to diminish the performance of the Fortnite players at the WM.

Whoever plays Destiny 2 on PC can now buy the Ryzen 3000 without worries

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny 2 finally receives a fix for Ryzen 3000 processors. AMD is now offering a beta chipset driver via Reddit that allows Destiny 2 to start again, even when using the new CPU. Initial player reactions are positive.

This was the problem with Destiny 2: Anyone who started Destiny 2 with a Ryzen 3000 faced issues. The game appeared in the task manager as a running process, but Destiny 2 refused to start.

A fresh installation of Windows with the latest drivers did not solve the problem. Incompatible motherboards could also be ruled out as a source of the issue.

AMD releases fix for Ryzen 3000

AMD has now released a fix for Destiny 2 and the Ryzen 3000 series.

The Senior Technical Marketing Manager Robert Hallock apologized to the users. At the same time, he pointed out that the fix only resolves the issue with starting Destiny 2.

Players say: With the fix, Destiny 2 starts again with Ryzen 3000

Initial player reactions: Players are now responding to the AMD post and thanking them as the game starts again for them. The fix seems to be working, and Ryzen owners can launch Destiny 2 without difficulties once more.

Where can I get the Destiny 2 fix for my Ryzen 3000? AMD offers a Google Drive link via Reddit. Through the link, you can download the fix for Ryzen 3000 processors.

What you need to consider about the beta driver: Be aware that the driver is a workaround. Windows or the installation will likely warn about an upgrade or an already installed driver.

The fix is also only intended for the Ryzen models of the 3000 series . If you play Destiny 2 with an older Ryzen processor or with an Intel processor, you do not need a hotfix.

Is it worth buying a Ryzen 3000 now? Are you considering purchasing a Ryzen 3000 from AMD? In our article, we have summarized all important information for you:

I want to play and love The Division 2 again – But it is really hard for me

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

Our author Schuhmann has once again taken a look at The Division 2 with the new DLC. He says the new missions are really fun and well made, yet it is hard to play The Division 2 again after a break.

This is my situation with The Division 2: I played The Division 2 with great enthusiasm and joy in the first three to four weeks, liberated Washington, and reached Gear Level 503 – back then it was still possible.

I didn’t build a great setup and didn’t deal with builds and game mechanics. I just took the items I thought “That’s fine” and had a great time replaying the missions and shooting around. I enjoyed the atmosphere of The Division 2.

However, I barely logged in during the last few months: I lacked new content after the “Tidal Basin” update. I briefly went through the secret missions, but they weren’t anything special.

The real new content has now come with the first free DLC.

I was determined to play The Division 2 again with Update 5 and Episode 1.

Division-2

Amazing new missions in a picturesque setting

This is how I like the new update: I have now played the two new story missions that came with Episode 1. In my opinion, both are on par with the main missions: really good.

They are fast, varied missions in a picturesque setting. Massive has once again managed to tell a story through the environment. I found the idyllic house by the lake with the boat dock as a battleground cool – just like the zoo. You sense the dramas that took place here when the virus struck.

Division-2-Episode

Like Rambo in Easy Mode through the new missions

A bittersweet drop for me was that I had to play both missions on “Story” difficulty the first time, even though I was used to harder content. This created little tension.

We rushed through the first mission with a makeshift three-person team and through the second mission with a two-person team, and played more like mini-Rambos.

However, the tactical approach and using cover is what makes The Division 2 appealing to me.

The Division 2 promises “several hours of new content” – Free
von Schuhmann

I don’t understand the loot anymore

This is why I find it so hard to get back into The Division 2: What I’m currently missing in The Division 2 is the appeal of finding better items.

Although I already had three of the four new items in the DLC in my inventory after an hour of gameplay, I didn’t use any of them:

Otherwise, I didn’t exchange any items.

Division-2-Park

In any case, loot in The Division 2 seems confusing after being away for a while. You receive so many items near the max level and actually should sit down and take a closer look at the loot after each instance.

More on the topic
The Division 2: How good is your gear – List shows best possible rolls
von Tarek Zehrer

To do this, you have to answer four questions:

  • What stats do I actually want for my build?
  • What stats can actually be on the individual gear piece?
  • How strong is the individual value on the item now within its parameters?
  • Is the new item really better than what I’m wearing – also regarding set bonuses that change and mods?

Answering these four questions doesn’t seem very inviting to me when you’ve been away from the game for a while. I also considered switching to the gear set “True Patriot,” but it seems to become attractive only with five pieces.

In other games, it is usually enough to just look at DPS or gear score to decide whether an item is an upgrade. In The Division 2, there are no such simple indicators.

The-Division-2-Agent-Zerstoerer
I’ve been running around with the same items more or less since April.

The Division 2 has rejected the increase of gear score a few months ago, maybe now is the time to bring it.

Or it needs a revision of the loot system so that you don’t need an Excel sheet to see if an item is really good and advances the build.

I’m sure for min-maxers, who are neck-deep in The Division 2, this is not a problem. They know exactly which items they are looking for and still need for their ideal build. I truly wish them the fun.

However, The Division 2 makes it really hard for me to get back in and continue from where I left off in April.

Fortnite: World Champion Bugha explodes on Twitch and Twitter – Is immediately hacked

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The new Fortnite world champion Bugha had not only a reason to be happy. After his Twitter and Twitch channel exploded after the victory, reality hit. Hackers had targeted the champion.

What happened to the channels? Anyone who wanted to check out the channels of the freshly crowned world champion on the night from Sunday to Monday discovered only strange retweets and requests to follow certain Twitter accounts.

Via Instagram, Bugha then announced that his accounts had been hacked and he had no access to them. Meanwhile, everything is back to normal, and the professional can not only be happy about 3 million dollars in prize money but also about thousands of new followers.

How his channels evolved

Thousands of new followers: Not only fame and honor but also many new fans Bugha received after his victory. According to Socialblade , his Twitter followers rose from 31,000 on Saturday to nearly 200,000 today.

On Twitch, the numbers increased from 76,000 to nearly 140,000 followers. Here, the number almost doubles.

That’s why it’s frustrating: New followers are of course also new fans and sources of income. It was all the more frustrating that a hacker had his hands in the cookie jar during such a big rise.

Fortunately, the team behind Bugha quickly got the problems under control, and now the 16-year-old can be back on it without worries.

What do fans say about it? They directly attacked the alleged hacker. They reported the Twitter accounts that, according to the post, one should follow. So there was a lot of support for Bugha, and even under the hacker’s tweets, the professional received a lot of support.

Bugha
Bugha is still celebrated by his fans

For example, it is said: “Imagine hacking someone for followers and still getting none.”

A response to that was: “Imagine you are Bugha, play a game, and win millions of dollars. Congratulations Bugha!”

Pokémon GO: That’s why many players don’t want to release their Crypto-Pokémon

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

With the introduction of Crypto Monsters in Pokémon GO, many players have found new favorites. This is interesting, as the story behind the Crypto Pokémon is dark.

What are Crypto Pokémon? You receive these monsters when you have fought against Team Rocket. As a reward for the victory, you will then receive these Pokémon.

But what really lies behind the Crypto Pokémon? We tell you why they have red eyes and why players love them despite their sad story.

The sad story behind the Crypto Pokémon

How they are formed: Crypto Pokémon actually do not have a nice backstory. In the console games, they were stolen in their normal form by villains and then subjected to a kind of brainwashing.

Crypto Dratini
You can recognize the Crypto Pokémon by their red eyes

As a result, the “door to the heart of the Pokémon” was closed. They feel no emotions anymore, which is why they become much stronger and more brutal.

So despite the sad background, many players do not want to redeem the Crypto Pokémon. They want to keep the door to the heart closed.

After the Countdown: Pokémon GO disappoints thousands of fans
von Noah Struthoff

What players love: The reason is the different appearance of the Crypto Pokémon. Many players think it’s really cool how the Pokémon look with their red eyes.

For example, the Reddit user ski-ro-dah writes on Reddit: “I want to keep my Crypto Pokémon. I know that the redeemed version is much stronger, but the Crypto version looks so cute!”

Crypto Glumanda

The Reddit user also receives support. Another player says that the current Crypto Pokémon are all not very useful. So you can leave them in the Crypto version with a clear conscience.

Is it worth redeeming at all? From a purely statistical point of view, a Crypto Pokémon becomes better after redemption, as it receives a boost of 2 points in each of its stats. Additionally, it comes directly at level 25. So it also becomes better in terms of CP than the Crypto version.

But there are also other details that Team Rocket appreciates. Our author Noah is pleased about the difficulty:

Moira terrorizes the PTR of Overwatch with "unfair" buff - Blizzard responds

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

On the PTR of Overwatch , Moira received a seemingly inconspicuous buff. Many players considered it too strong and criticized the decision. Blizzard has now decided to revert the change.

What was this buff? With the PTR patch from July 18, 2018, Moira’s ability “Fade” was reworked. The healer could now use the ability even when she was stunned or under similar effects.

A patch that also brought some changes to the new hero Sigma removed this buff again. Moira can no longer use her Fade while stunned.

How strong was Moira

What was the problem? With the new buff, Moira could suddenly escape many dangerous situations that would have cost her life before. Moira could free herself from many abilities that would have meant her death, such as:

  • Ana’s sleep dart
  • McCree’s flashbang
  • Junkrat’s trap
  • Ultimates like Reinhardt’s Earthshatter
Overwatch Reinhardt Earthshatter
Earthshatter could mean nothing to Moira.

This led to Moira players becoming significantly more aggressive. They sought fights with opponents they would otherwise have lost and killed them quite effortlessly, or fled when it was no longer possible.

What was the purpose of the buff? According to the developers, the buff was actually intended to reflect Moira’s ” evasive nature”. It should be clearer that she is a difficult target to hit, who can free herself well.

Blizzcon Overwatch Moira Light and Shadow

The idea was that she could also help her team when everyone was trapped in Reinhardt’s Earthshatter. She should then free herself and keep her team from dying.

This is how players are reacting to the buff: However, the result was players making something even stronger out of an already strong Moira. Complaints arose in the form of memes, such as on Twitter, where one user shows with a video how “ridiculously strong” the buff is:

Moira players themselves were pleased with the short buff. However, when it became known that the buff would be reverted, disappointment set in. Some players complained that Blizzard only listens to “crying McCree players”, and they find it ridiculous that this buff is being reverted, while McCree remains strong.

Another change, meanwhile, receives greater approval:

This is the most beautiful way to kill all survivors in Dead by Daylight

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Killing the Survivors in Dead by Daylight is an art. This player achieves the seemingly impossible.

In Dead by Daylight, the Killer has several options to kill the Survivors. You can hook them on meat hooks, manually kill them with a special “Mori” animation, or simply let them bleed out on the ground. For a while, there has also been the “End Game Collapse”, a timer at the end of the game. If the Survivors do not escape in time, the creepy being “Entity” simply kills them on the spot. However, such kills are rare because the timer starts only when a gate has been opened and there are only a few meters left to escape.

This Korean streamer has accomplished the seemingly impossible: He killed all 4 Survivors through the Endgame Collapse, beautifully lined up side by side.

Korean streamer creates a choir (for entity) from r/deadbydaylight

What happens in the video? The Survivors flee together from the Killer towards the opened exit gate. The Killer lets them go and does not strike again, but only follows them. Upon reaching the exit, the Survivors experience a surprise: the exit gate is locked by black effects, and they cannot escape. A few seconds later, the timer at the top of the screen drops to 0. The “End Game Collapse” is finished, which means the immediate death of all Survivors. They are impaled and sacrificed on the spot by the Entity.

The Killer shown in the video, Freddy, has recently received a rework!

How is this possible? This scenario is only possible through extremely good planning (or luck) and the correct utilization of the perk “Blood Warden”. Blood Warden ensures that after the gates are opened, when hanging the next Survivor, the exits are blocked for 60 seconds. If during this time, the “End Game Collapse” is advanced to the point where less than 60 seconds remain, then the Survivors have no chance and will be executed when the time runs out, without being able to escape.

The problem here is that the gate must first be opened and the Survivors then need to be kept “busy” for over a minute. Only then can the Killer hang a Survivor to activate Blood Warden. This only succeeds in the rarest of cases.

A chilling choir of the death cries of the Survivors – music to the Killer player and the Entity.

Have you ever managed such a perfect “4-man kill” at the last second? Or does that seem way too difficult?

Recently published list by the Eurasian Economic Commission reveals hints of four additional Ryzen 3000 models. Will there be new competition for Intel among these processors?

AMD’s new Ryzen 3000 series currently includes the Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 7 3800X, Ryzen 9 3900X, and the flagship Ryzen 9 3950X processors.

However, AMD seems to be planning additional models for the 3000 series, as indicated by a release from the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Where does the leak about the new 3000 models come from? The Eurasian Economic Commission published the information on a list. The Eurasian Economic Commission is responsible for trade agreements and the protection of trademark rights in the Eurasian Economic Union, among other things. The information from a public state authority appears trustworthy.

Hints for 4 new 3000 models discovered

Which new 3000 models are mentioned? Four new models are mentioned. These include:

  • Ryzen 5 3500: The Ryzen 5 3500 does not have an X variant in the third generation. Possibly, the Ryzen 3 3500, as considered by Tom’s Hardware, could be a successor to the Ryzen 5 2500X. As this CPU has not been available separately, the technical specifications are also unknown so far.
  • Ryzen 5 PRO 3600: This could possibly be a stronger variant of the currently available Ryzen 5 3600. The PRO variant of the 3600 also requires 65W and is a 6-core processor.
  • Ryzen 7 PRO 3700: Also presumably the weaker version of the 3700X. This CPU is also rated at 65W, while the X version requires 105W. This processor is an 8-core processor, presumably with 16 threads like the X model.
  • Ryzen 9 PRO 3900: According to the list, this processor is supposed to run with 65 watts compared to the 3900X and uses the AM4 chipset. The X version currently runs with 105W. The Ryzen 3900 PRO offers 12 cores like the X model and presumably also 24 threads.

This guy has the crappiest job in GTA 5 Online

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The doorman in front of the casino in GTA Online has to endure some torments. Players have made him a target for nasty pranks.

This NPC is about: A few days ago, the Diamond & Resort casino opened in GTA Online. Now there are new vehicles, missions, and also a huge casino that you can enter.

The casino has a valet service. A guy in a red vest stands at the entrance and takes your car if needed to safely park it nearby.

Unfortunately, the guy has really chosen a bad job and probably regrets his decision already. Players use him as a living target for nasty, deadly actions.

What are the players doing to him? More and more videos and screenshots of players wanting to get to the doorman are appearing on social networks.

Many players are messing around in the entrance area or causing car explosions, setting the NPC on fire. Sometimes he seems totally unimpressed and continues his job normally while on fire. An example can be found in the Reddit video by velo6rapports, which we embed for you here.

Not all attacks on the doorman have to end fatally. Harmless trolling is also popular in the community. Players drive huge vehicles, planes, or even submarines to the doorman, wanting to make use of his valet service.

However, he apparently cannot handle such huge vehicles. Players bring the biggest rides, as shown in this screenshot by Kaw_Jun:

The solution: Players do not want to accept the bullying and are forming a defense movement.
