CoD: Modern Warfare takes fans’ fear of pink neon unicorn skins

Jürgen Horn 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare many players are currently concerned. They do not want bright pink cosmetics in the game. The developers have now commented on this.

What are the fans’ worries? On Reddit there is a thread with over 1.5K upvotes and more than 200 comments (as of July 20, 2019 at 1:00 PM), in which a player expresses his great concern:

“Please don’t make pink, rainbow-colored, glowing, and randomly selected unrealistic skins for our characters. This is so annoying in Black Ops 4 and every CoD has had it so far. Black Ops 4 was so much better at release. I remember a tactical feeling and boom, now we have pink guys running around with glowing skins and bright guns. Please. Don’t. Do. That!”

The fear of the thread creator is well-founded, as many readers agreed with him:

“I hope CoD will be spared from this stuff – clear, authentic, minimalist!”
“Use real military uniforms from different countries, that would look impressive!”
“I think of equipment like in The Division. Cool gloves and skins with different camouflage patterns, etc.”

Indeed, while past CoD titles have always been military-themed shooters, especially in the aforementioned Black Ops 4, there were quite silly skins, such as the glowing unicorn gun “Tactical Unicorn”.

Developers assure that Call of Duty remains realistic and relevant

This is what the developers said: Soon, developers from Infinity Ward spoke up and eased the worries of the Reddit users.

Developer Joel “Artpeasant” Emslie, the Art Director at the studio, stated that they want to remain “realistic and relevant” with the skins.

Many users reacted happily to this:

“Good to hear, man! With all the emphasis on realism this time, it would really be a shame if you could wear pink and glowing camouflage patterns.”
“Can’t we just leave the Black Ops series with their glowing unicorn skins to the Fortnite kids and keep the cool military outfits in Modern Warfare? That way everyone would get the CoD they like.”

Modern-Warfare-Sniper — Many fans want skins and weapons in Modern Warfare to look like this.

Others, however, are skeptical and do not trust the developers’ promises:

“At least until a few months after the launch have passed and Activision forces you to include the childish stuff anyway.”
“I don’t have high hopes. We will undoubtedly see skins that are meant to sell well. Animated skins are probably very popular because Black Ops 4 has sold so many of them repeatedly.”

It remains exciting to see what the skins and outfits in Modern Warfare will ultimately look like.

Weird bug in Apex Legends leads to insane brawl

Benedict Grothaus 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, a match in Apex Legends should proceed with tactical fights and many weapons and items. However, due to a bug, an entire lobby of players was forced to determine the winner in the oldest way: with fists.

What was that bug? Due to an apparent error, neither weapons nor other items appeared on the entire map of Apex Legends in a match. All containers and houses were simply empty.

The user garyspurr opened a thread on reddit, which has now received over 1,600 upvotes. In this thread, he shows in a short clip what happened after the landing:

It can be seen that neither he nor the one opponent could find weapons. After a short brawl, more opponents appeared – from further away and also without weapons. It turned into a real brawl.

No Weapons in Apex Legends – Fists as a New Game Mode?

This is how the match went: In response to inquiries from other users in the thread, garyspurr confirmed that there was not a single weapon to be found on the entire map. However, he himself got knocked out relatively early, as he stated that he is not the best close-combat fighter.

There is currently no documented record of the match. It is also unclear who ultimately managed to win the brawl and how they did it. However, the final circle must have been quite exciting.

This is how the fans react: Although Apex Legends is currently plagued by some bugs and oddities, this error is quite well received. Players find it more entertaining than really annoying and have already discussed which legends are particularly useful here:

Octane, due to his self-healing
Lifeline, due to her item drop
Caustic with his gas canisters
Wattson with her electric fences

There was also the idea of introducing this unarmed mode as “Royal Rumble”, a format known from wrestling, in which multiple participants knock each other out of the ring with punches and kicks. And new modes are indeed planned:

One of the most anticipated DLCs for ESO finally has a release date

Jürgen Horn 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online will soon receive the new DLC Scalebreaker for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This not only continues the story about the dragons but also brings much-anticipated comfort features. The DLC along with Update 23 finally has a release date since QuakeCon.

When will Scalebreaker be released? At QuakeCon 2019, ESO was also a major topic. Among other things, the release date of Scalebreaker, the 3rd DLC for 2019, was mentioned. Until now, it was only known that the DLC along with the free Update 23 would come “sometime in August”.

Now we finally know exactly when the update is coming:

On August 12, it will finally be here. Then you can play Scalebreaker and the important Update 23 on PC.
For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, unfortunately, it will not be until August 27, 2019.

Cool Dungeons and Important Comfort Features in Update 23

What’s included in the DLC Scalebreaker: Scalebreaker picks up the story from Elsweyr and the Season of the Dragons. It primarily deals with the aftermath of the events from Elsweyr:

In the Moongrave temple city, vampires are in the process of draining a downed dragon. This would create super-vampires with dragon blood, and no one wants a kind of vampire Dovahkiin. Therefore, you should take out the bloodsuckers before the dragon blood bank opens.
In the lair of Maarselok, the dragon of the same name is hatching dark plans to corrupt the nearby woods of the Bosmer. Here, you will battle against the dragon and his minions, and this dungeon was very well received by fans on the test server due to its cool boss mechanics.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

Link to the YouTube content

Additionally, there will be a new questline, in which it will finally become clear what the familiar Sai Sahan from the last trailer in Elsweyr is doing there and how things will progress with the dragons.

Why Update 23 is so important: The big highlight is, however, the free Update 23. This will also be released on August 12 and brings some features that ESO fans have longed for since the beta.

The most important new feature is multicrafting. Up until now, you had to painstakingly create each individual item in crafting. This is frustrating when you want to craft a batch of healing potions or buff food and have to click through menus forever.

With the update, you can finally craft large quantities at once. The same applies to refining and breaking down items. This feature was extremely well received on the test server.

Additionally, there is the also well-received feature of exchanging rewards from the Undaunted directly in loot boxes to better obtain your desired loot.

Only the feature regarding guild trading posts was viewed skeptically on the PTS. A long-term test on the live server will show whether it is worth something.

CoD Modern Warfare gets Killstreaks again – Many fans think it’s bad

Jürgen Horn 30. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare you can further decimate your opponents as a good player with killstreaks. The developers have now officially announced the killstreaks and provided some cool examples. However, not all fans are happy about it.

What are killstreaks? Killstreaks were rewards in previous CoD games that you could earn through kills. If you achieved a certain number of kills, you received a special reward, such as a bombardment or a reconnaissance drone, that provided you with advantages. This allowed good players to become even better and to earn special bonuses for their team.

However, if you die, you lose everything. The system rewards good players who rack up kills without dying themselves.

Heavy Armor, Phosphorus, and Tanks

What can be earned with the killstreaks? In a tweet, the developers mentioned alongside the mere announcement of the killstreaks also three examples that can be earned:

Juggernaut Assault Gear: A massive body armor that protects you from gunfire
Infantry Assault Vehicle: A light armored personnel carrier with a .50 caliber machine gun
White Phosphorus: An incendiary bomb dropped from the air that obscures the area and ignites opponents

https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1155886018232328192

Is that all there is? According to data leaks, there should be many more killstreaks, including a nuke that kills all players and ends the game. However, only the streaks mentioned here have been officially confirmed so far.

What is special about killstreaks? The latest games in the series had scorestreaks instead of killstreaks or pointstreaks. This is basically the same, except here you could earn points for achieving mission objectives and support in multiplayer for the streak, not just for kills. Modern Warfare is thus deliberately taking a step back. But is that a good idea?

How are the killstreaks received by players? On Twitter and Reddit, fans are currently vigorously discussing whether killstreaks are such a good idea now. Proponents say that in a shooter, kills are simply the most fun and should also be rewarded. Anything else would diminish the FPS experience. One user sums up this opinion succinctly on Reddit:

“Killstreaks require that you have the skill to get kills without dying. This requires precision, target acquisition, map knowledge, spawn knowledge, and positioning.
People who want scorestreaks are terrible at all the things I mentioned above. They think being present is everything and they want streaks for sitting in a bright area and waiting for a display to fill up.”

Many on Reddit in various threads disagree with that:

“I prefer scorestreaks simply because you get rewarded for completing objectives.”
“[Killstreaks are] not better, they encourage selfish gameplay and ignoring mission objectives for simple kills.”
“You all must be blinded by nostalgia!”
“This is a strange decision. I understand they want to make it like the old CoDs and differentiate from the other parts of the franchise. But that was changed for a good reason. Scorestreaks encourage objective-oriented play. Killstreaks do the opposite. Of all the ways to make CoD 2019 more like the old games, this is probably the one no one asked for.”
“Scorestreaks were a good change back then. I think they’re changing it back because of nostalgia.”

Pokémon GO is hosting a PvP tournament at the World Championships – The community is divided

Noah Struthoff 30. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO is hosting an official PvP tournament in the USA soon. Many players see this as the beginning, as it could actually lead to many tournaments being held in PvP.

What kind of tournament is this? This tournament will take place as part of the Pokémon World Championships in Washington D.C. Representatives from various Pokémon games will meet there and hold tournaments.

This time, Pokémon GO is also represented for the first time, as selected players will compete in a small PvP tournament there. You can watch it live on Twitch.

All info about the official PvP tournament

When does the event start? The tournament will take place on August 16. The exact time is not yet known.

How will the tournament proceed? A total of 8 players will compete against each other. They will eliminate each other, and in the end, the grand final will take place.

In each match, there will be a maximum of 5 rounds. The first player to win 3 rounds wins the match.

Beforehand, each player must assemble a team of 6 Pokémon. Each Pokémon must be of a different type. The 6 monsters must then be used throughout the tournament.

Half a year later: How important is PvP still in Pokémon GO?

Who is participating? The tournament will feature several prominent figures from the Pokémon world. Alongside two employees from Game Freak, Pokémon YouTubers like UnlistedLeaf will also participate.

Also, many players may recognize the name KiengIV. He is known for his spectacular duos and trios in raids.

A lucky fan will also get to participate. However, they must already be on-site and have registered beforehand. A random selection will determine who it will be.

The commentator for the tournament is also well-known. The YouTuber TrainerTips will commentate the entire event.

How can I watch? The event will be streamed live on Twitch. So be sure to check out the official Twitch channel of Pokémon on the day of the competition. We will embed it here:

What do players think about this? The community is somewhat divided. Many fans see it critically, as they could not participate in this tournament or qualify beforehand. Holding something like this at the World Championships is odd. After all, you cannot crown a World Champion if there were only 8 players to choose from.

Other players, especially on Reddit, find the idea cool. They see it as the beginning for Pokémon GO to finally organize such tournaments. This has only happened at GO Fests or was organized by the community itself.

So there could actually be a future, and players hope that PvP tournaments could be held worldwide by Pokémon GO.

As Grimey_Rick writes: “This is really cool. It is fantastic to see how they are finally doing something official with PvP. I was not very excited to get into the mode because the lack of an official league or recognition of competitive matches made the feature seem insignificant.”

Finally, Pokémon GO made some changes to the PvP mode:

Numbers say: German WoW streamers are the new hit on Twitch - No one knows why.

Benedict Grothaus 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft is a popular game, but it hasn’t really been a hit on Twitch. Until now. Suddenly, a lot of German WoW streamers have made their way into the top 10 channels with the largest follower growth. And no one quite knows how this happened.

What happened here? In the past 30 days, countless German WoW streamers have sneaked into the top spots of those channels on Twitch that are gaining followers the fastest.

According to sullygnome , among the fastest-growing channels in the last 30 days on Twitch (as of July 30) are in the top 10:

Kaytlien
zprefection_tv
emmadizzy
knoffwow
pink_screen

The streamers Miaumarmelade, EisMelone, and Neevi have even made it into the top 5, pushing the Twitch stars Shroud and Ninja out of the top 10. The numbers from sullygnome roughly align with a second site, TwitchMetrics.

German WoW Streamers at the Top of Twitch Growth

Here’s the strange part: While WoW streamers have suddenly gained a lot of followers, none of them can boast significantly more viewers than before.

In the last 30 days (as of July 30), the peak viewership was:

Neevi 720 viewers at peak
Miaumarmelade 515
Eismelone 387

However, they all gained over 170,000 followers.

Where does the sudden trend come from? We at MeinMMO have inquired a bit and spoke with the German WoW streamer DerBehla. He noticed this phenomenon quite early on.

He suspects that a bot manufacturer is behind the increase, wanting to make their accounts look “more real.” The bots follow the channels, so as not to be immediately recognized as bots. In this case, such an occurrence is not meant to support the channel but to expand bots.

Buying followers and viewers on Twitch is prohibited, but it’s a practice used to boost a channel. They are also used to specifically attack channels and report them for violating guidelines.

DerBehla added that his partner JackyUndSo was also contacted by a provider. She was asked during her live stream through a whisper message if she wanted to boost her stream.

As for how the streamers who quickly gained followers achieved this boost, we at MeinMMO also do not know. There are only speculations about what could be behind this bizarre trend.

How is WoW doing on Twitch? At the launch of WoW Classic, World of Warcraft was able to conquer Twitch again . Here, the numbers shot through the roof again.

However, during this growth, particularly the largest WoW streamer in the world, Asmongold, played a significant role. The World-First race for the latest final boss Azshara also contributed to good numbers:

Servers at Anthem are down for 3 hours today – But don’t expect too much

Schuhmann 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In the online game Anthem , the servers are down today on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and the game is offline. The maintenance is expected to last about three and a half hours. Fans are frustrated, as not much should be expected today. The test server for Anthem is shutting down, but the Cataclysm update will not be released this week.

When are the servers of Anthem going down? According to the Twitter account of Anthem, the servers will be offline today, on July 30, for three and a half hours on PC, PS4, and Xbox One:

The maintenance starts at 1:30 PM German time.
The maintenance is expected to end at 5 PM.

Update aims to fix crash issues in Anthem

What can players expect today? No major update is planned; rather, EA talks about maintenance work that will take place today.

EA Help tells a player that their technical issues might be resolved with today’s maintenance. So at least some “crash issues” will be addressed.

It is definitely not the patch 1.3 that everyone is waiting for in Anthem. Players had hoped that the big Cataclysm would start now, after it is down from the patch server.

Here is the situation with Anthem: Things seem to be quite tense at the moment.

Some players are asking quite irritably when the Cataclysm event will finally start. Anthem has been lacking new content for months – only small balance patches appeared 6 weeks ago. Players are impatient.

There was a pre-event – but it was rather a drop in the bucket.

Especially on Twitter, a lot of frustration is boiling over. One player commented on the announcement that the servers are going down, saying: “Don’t bother bringing them back up.”

You will learn to hate this new Mage card from Hearthstone

Cortyn 30. July 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

Another Hearthstone card has been released in the last few days. We are showing you the latest highlights from the Restorers of Uldum.

In a few days, it will finally be time again in Hearthstone as the next expansion is released. With “Restorers of Uldum” 135 new cards will come into the game, allowing for new tactics and shaking up the existing meta. In the last few days, new cards with exciting effects have been revealed, and we want to briefly introduce their highlights here.

The Summoned Illusion is a new neutral minion with quite strong stats. For just 4 mana, the minion brings attributes of 3/10 onto the battlefield and is also equipped with Taunt. However, the illusion has a major flaw: At the beginning of the player’s turn, the card is shuffled back into the deck. So it is a cheap Taunt, but it only lasts until the next turn.

Paladins receive a powerful spell, a reinforced variant of Blessing of Kings. The Blessing of the Pharaoh costs 6 mana and gives a minion +4/+4 as well as Divine Shield and Taunt. This turns even the weakest minions into a significant threat and an annoying obstacle.

Priests are happy about the cheap spell Balsamation. For 1 mana, they can grant a minion of their choice Rebirth. Rebirth is the new keyword from Restorers of Uldum and ensures that minions are resurrected once with one remaining health point after dying.

For Warriors , the Gravekeeper awaits. This minion costs 8 mana and has weak stats of 3/6 and Taunt. However, upon Battlecry, a direct copy of this minion is summoned. So if you enhance it already in hand, it will provide greater utility on the battlefield.

Mages receive a new Secret, that is, a spell. For 3 mana, the Flame Trap can be played. Once a minion has attacked the Magician’s hero next time (that is, after taking damage), the trap will activate and deal 3 damage to all enemy minions. This should be a very effective protection against many small “Rush” decks, but will also often save you from lethal damage.

An interesting spell has been revealed for Rogues . For 4 mana, the Shadow of Death can be cast. Here, the Rogue chooses a minion of their choice and then shuffles 3 Shadows into their deck. When one of the Shadows is drawn, a direct copy of the chosen minion is summoned.

This heavy Hearthstone combo is only for sadists

von Cortyn

A new minion for Rogues, which is also a beast, will be the Pharaoh Cat. This embalmed cat costs 1 mana and has stats of 1/2. However, as a Battlecry, it has an interesting effect because the Rogue gets a random minion with Rebirth into their hand. This can also include minions from other classes, so cool combos can arise from this.

Joining the ranks of “great minions that cost little but have a drawback” is the Mummification Machine. For just 5 mana, this mech brings impressive stats of 8/8 onto the battlefield but has a dangerous mechanic. Whenever the opponent plays a minion, that minion is granted “Rebirth.” One should carefully consider whether to have the Mummification Machine on the battlefield.

A new neutral Legendary is the minion Siamat. This Elemental is likely to find a place in many decks because it is basically a “wish card” with changing effects. For 7 mana, it has stats of 6/6, but gains 2 of the following 4 keywords, which the player can choose freely: Fervor, Taunt, Divine Shield, or Windfury. This way, Siamat can be tailored to one’s wishes and respond to many situations.

What do you think of these Hearthstone cards? Do you like them, and do you already have ideas on how you will use them?

Destiny 2: 2 severe bugs annoy in PvP – But players discover how to work around them

Micha Deckert 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

For some time now, things have not been going well in Destiny 2. Players are reporting performance issues and strange bugs. The PvP mode is particularly affected, as Guardians can get stuck in Spectator Mode, or players and items become invisible. The community has now gathered some simple tips to work around the issue.

What kinds of bugs are these? For about two weeks, players have been reporting strange bugs in Destiny 2. Guardians are being thrown out of activities more often than usual, and progress in quests, bounties, or rewards is not being credited.

Things are also not going smoothly in PvP right now. Currently, two bugs are particularly annoying players:

In competitive mode, Guardians sometimes cannot spawn into the match. They get stuck in Spectator Mode and can only watch their teammates play.
Weapons or even entire Guardians become invisible and can only be seen as vague outlines. This can happen in all modes and can even affect your own Guardian.

While Bungie has not yet commented on a workaround, the community has taken matters into its own hands. Tips have been gathered on Reddit on how to work around these bugs.

How are players coping? A solution to prevent these annoying bugs has not yet been found. However, there are some tips that you can try if you are affected by these issues:

Go to your menu to the new quests tab and wait for all quests on one page to load. For many players, this is enough, and character models reload so they can normally enter the PvP match.
Others report that they have to claim the last bounty they completed.
Another option is to take an item from the vault using the Destiny 2 app or another inventory app.
A few players have reported that they had to delete a shader for everything to work again.

Which of the tips helped you? Do you have any further ideas on how to work around these annoying bugs? Then let us know in the comments.

When will the bugs be fixed? Bungie will also make some performance improvements with Update 2.5.2, which will be played on the Destiny 2 servers today, July 30, It has already been announced that the bug where Guardians cannot spawn into Crucible matches will be fixed.

The invisibility bug is also expected to be addressed with the upcoming patch: The problem has already been identified, and it is anticipated that this bug can be fixed with Patch 2.5.2.

With Update 2.5.2, not only bug fixes are coming but also the Solstice of Heroes:

You are making a new MMORPG for Ragnarok Online – Even coming for PC

Schuhmann 30. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In South Korea, Gravity announced a new MMORPG based on the online role-playing classic “Ragnarok Online.” The surprise: The game is set to be released not only for mobile but also for PC. The release in South Korea is already planned for September 2019.

What little is known so far: The Korean game developer and publisher Gravity has announced a new MMORPG based on the “Ragnarok” brand.

The game is expected to be released in South Korea as early as September 2019. It is described as a “reinterpretation” of Ragnarok Online.

The game is also expected to be released for PC – that is now something special, as the mobile boom has firmly taken hold in Asia. Many classic PC MMORPGs are being replaced by mobile versions, while the old PC originals are phasing out like the recently discontinued Runes of Magic.

Cross-Platform as a Major Feature for the New Ragnarok MMORPG

The special twist is: It is said that the greatest feature of the new MMORPG Ragnarok Online is the ability to play across platforms on PC and mobile devices (likely iOS and Android).

The focus is on being able to play the new Ragnarok Online from anywhere and at any time.

It is further mentioned that there is a feature that compensates “students and busy working players” for being offline for a long time.

These 8 new MMORPGs are coming out in 2019 – Release List

von Andreas Bertits

What is Ragnarok Online all about? Ragnarok Online is a cult MMORPG that was released in South Korea in 2002. Here in Europe, it was released in 2004.

The game is also from Gravity and has many fans because it was relatively unconventional but offered players a lot of freedom. Ragnarok Online has a high “buzz” factor.

Players could choose the “Rebirth” option at maximum level and then start again at level 1, allowing them to take on a new job later.

This freedom was a major draw for many when it came to Ragnarok Online. Even today, many players wish back such a game. Veterans nostalgically talk about their “Ragnarok Online” times.

In recent years, there have been several attempts to capture the charm of Ragnarok Online:

MMORPGs like Tree of Savior have tried this. However, the major success was missing.
Ragnarok Online 2 was discontinued in 2019.
Mobile versions are now out.

Whether the new MMORPG can meet high expectations and whether we can play it in Europe is currently still unknown.

What’s behind it: From what little is known so far from Korean sources, it sounds like a typical mobile game with the familiar mobile mechanics like autoplay, which is also coming to PC. But the news situation here is still extremely thin.

Fortnite: Find all Fortbytes with this map in 1 hour

Patrick Freese 30. July 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

Quickly find all Fortbytes in Fortnite: Battle Royale – this is possible with this map that shows all locations. A player created it and claims that with his route, all collectible Fortbytes can be found within an hour.

What kind of map is this? The player Setosorcerer shared the map with marked routes with the community on Reddit. The post, which obviously took a lot of work, received more than 15,000 upvotes within 12 hours.

The map shows the entire island of the Battle Royale mode of Fortnite. All positions of the Fortbytes that can be collected are recorded. Colorful lines indicate how to quickly collect the Fortbytes in succession and show the “perfect route” for that.

Why should one do this? You will be rewarded for collecting the Fortbytes. For 90 of the Bytes, you will receive the outfit Singularity.

Map with all Fortbytes – Perfect Route

Setosorcerer writes that he only needed 8 games and a total of one hour with this perfect route to collect all the Fortbytes hidden on the map. We embed the map here:

Instructions for the Map

In order to perfectly utilize the route, the creator provides instructions that we present here in translation.

Start at the corresponding routes always at the circle, finish the routes at the X. The routes are calculated so that you pass by the spawn points of the Bouncers repeatedly. Use the Bouncers to master the routes quickly.

The Start – Game 1: Equip the following items

Stratus Skin
Ravager Glider
Bunker Basher Pickaxe
Impulse Grenade
Kyo Back Bling

Now start in solo mode and initially run along the red path.

Game 2: Now switch to the Vendetta skin and start a solo game. Follow the blue path there.

Game 3: Now switch to the Demi skin and play Team Rumble. Follow the purple path on the map. As a first step, glide through the rings using the Ravager Glider. If you land beforehand, the rings will despawn. So do the rings first, grab the Fork-Knife Fortbyte, and then use the sky platform to glide to the Bouncers in the snowy biome. Grab a Bouncer and continue the route from there.

Game 4: Now switch to the Rox skin and the Plasma Glider. Start a solo game and follow the orange path there.

Game 5: Switch to the Vega skin, to the Scarlet Scythe Glider, and the Scarlet Scythe Pickaxe. Start a solo game and follow the green path in it.

Game 6: Switch to the Bunker Jonesy outfit, the Nana Nana Back Bling (the banana peel), and the Vox Pickaxe. With this equipment, you will run along the light blue path in the solo game and collect the Bytes.

Game 7: Switch to the Sentinel skin and collect the Fortbytes marked with the magenta color. Start Team Rumble for that.

Game 8: Here a round of Team Rumble with a friend is useful. During the night, you go to the castle, during the day to the other mountain. For Fortbyte 53, grab a friend and dance with him at the Outlaw Hideout. For Fortbyte 82, solve the pressure plate puzzle in the north. Grab the Bytes at the yellow markers on the map.

What about the remaining Fortbytes? With this map, you will collect 75 Fortbytes. The remaining 25 are obtained by earning XP or surviving long in matches. There is no collection guide for that on the map.

If you have problems unlocking the Fortbytes, just check out our guides on it:

This is how World of Warcraft will revolutionize its group play

Cortyn 30. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft has big plans to improve gameplay for all players. Soon, players at max level will also be able to play with lower-level characters.

With the upcoming Patch 8.2.5, World of Warcraft aims to revamp player interaction. It will then be possible to complete quests again if friends have that quest. Additionally, players will be able to accompany friends into low-level dungeons, and their strength will be scaled down. We reveal what is already known.

What is the problem? For players of World of Warcraft, it is difficult to recruit new players. This is mainly because newcomers have to “struggle” through a long leveling phase before they can play with their friends. While friends can help, running through dungeons is not particularly exciting.

Blizzard has been looking for a way to allow players of different levels to play together while keeping the content engaging.

Party Sync brings players together: Blizzard is testing a new feature. Members in a group can activate “Party Sync” while playing together. This ensures that all group members are brought to the same state of quests.

This also means they are placed in the same phase (if a quest modifies the environment, for example). Additionally, one can see in the quest log what progress classmates have made and who can turn in their quest.

World of Warcraft already scales very extensively in many cases.

Replay feature for many quests: At the same time, developers are trying to create a feature that allows players to replay quests. If a friend completes a quest for level 20 and you have already reached level 80 and completed the quest long ago, you can complete it again together with the level 20 friend.

The quest then provides rewards that are relevant to the player’s actual level. This would allow players to help friends with quests while also gaining an advantage for themselves.

“Party Sync” reduces levels in dungeons: Party Sync also ensures that you can go with friends into a dungeon that is well below your own level. For example, you could accompany your leveling friend into the Deadmines, even though you have already reached level 120.

Your character’s level will then be scaled down so that the content remains exciting. However, the character also loses access to abilities that one simply wouldn’t have at the lower level (such as Azerite abilities).

If the features work as Blizzard envisions, it could be a small revolution for group play in World of Warcraft. Then further barriers that currently hinder players from playing together would fall.

If you prefer to level quickly to max level, check out our leveling guide:

Pokémon GO: This small extension makes thousands of players happy

Noah Struthoff 30. July 2019 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.

Link to the Twitter content

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.

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.”

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 30. July 2019 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.

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 30. July 2019 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.

Who won the Fortnite World Cup 2019 in Solo?

von Noah Struthoff

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.

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 30. July 2019 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.

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.

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 30. July 2019 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.

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.

More on the topic

With this probability you will get Shinys in Pokémon GO

von Noah Struthoff

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.

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 29. July 2019 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.

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.

That’s why Torchlight Frontiers is now more like Diablo 2

von Andreas Bertits

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 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 29. July 2019 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.”

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 29. July 2019 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.

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.

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?
