Leak sounds like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is heading towards The Division 2

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Officially, we don’t know much about the new Coop mode Spec Ops in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, according to a leak, this new mode should be quite cool and reminiscent of a shooter MMO like The Division 2. The Battle Royale mode may also play a role in it.

What is Spec Ops? Under this name, one knows a coop mode in the Call of Duty games from Infinity Ward, where you could play certain multiplayer-designed maps with a buddy.

How do we know about the Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare? In the upcoming new CoD game, Modern Warfare, this mode is said to reappear. At least that’s what the prominent leaker and YouTuber TheGamingRevolution claims. He supposedly knows what’s really behind the new mode and how it ties into the alleged Battle Royale mode.

Open World and Battle Royale – The Features in the Spec Ops Mode of Modern Warfare

What’s up with the Open World? The biggest highlight of the new Spec Ops is likely the Open World. It is said to be huge and allow gameplay like in an MMO shooter. Like in The Division 2 or Destiny 2, you should be able to move freely on the large map with your coop buddy.

According to the rumor from TheGamingRevolution, there will be up to 80 quests, events, and bosses. Missions are provided by well-known NPCs, including Captain Price.

Modern-Warfare-Feuer

Who can you play with in coop? According to the leaker, you will have the choice between 20 operators from the main game. Additionally, you can play as both Americans and Russians.

What does the coop mode bring? Besides the great fun you can have with a good coop partner in an open world, there are also tangible rewards in Spec Ops. When you complete missions, you can earn in-game currency that you can spend in other modes of Modern Warfare.

What’s up with the Battle Royale mode? The map already has a hint of Battle Royale in the coop mode, as you jump out of an attack helicopter over the large map without much equipment and have to gather materials.

Modern-Warfare-Feuer-Dach

However, Battle Royale fans will actually reportedly get their favorite mode. Because supposedly the open-world map is also the map for the BR mode, where 200 players will be able to shoot each other.

Will coop and Battle Royale be free to play? TheGamingRevolution also claims to have information on this. He suggests that the coop mode could be free to play. Alternatively, this might also be the case for the rumored Battle Royale mode.

How are fans reacting? In the comments on the video by TheGamingRevolution, fans are excited and hope that the rumors are true:

  • “I’m so super hyped for CoD MW. I can’t wait!”
  • “That sounds just too good to be true!”
  • “If all this is true, it could be the best CoD of all time.”
call of duty modern warfare titelbild

However, many fans are missing the survival mode from previous games in the series. Some fans also suspect that this mode could appear as an event or mission in the open world.

How likely is it that all this is true? As with all leaks and rumors, the statements from TheGamingRevolution are not official and cannot currently be verified.

Nonetheless, the leaker’s statements sound plausible, and TheGamingRevolution has often published accurate rumors in the past.

We might learn more on August 1, as Infinity Ward plans to release more information about the multiplayer of Modern Warfare.

Life is Feudal MMO promises full Free2Play – but there is a catch

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The Life is Feudal MMO from Bitbox is now officially Free2Play. At least that’s what the developers claim in their latest patch. However, there is a catch.

What is Life is Feudal? Life is Feudal is a sandbox MMO with many survival elements. The goal is to survive in a medieval world, build cities together in a guild, and compete with other guilds.

The game relies heavily on realism and requires a lot of time and dedication to develop your character. The focus is strongly on PvP.

Only one character is allowed on the mainland

What is new about the payment system? The developers announced in the new patch 0.25.22.5 that Life is Feudal is now “fully Free2Play”.

New and old players will now receive a ticket to Abella and thus to the mainland thanks to the patch. Additionally, they will receive a premium account for three days.

However, for additional characters, a fee of 10 euros is still required. Strictly speaking, it is only Free2Play for one character. By the way, the ticket is not returned if the character gets deleted.

von Jürgen Horn

How did the payment system work before? Life is Feudal was originally designed as a Buy2Play MMO. However, since patch 0.2 in February, it has been “Free2Play”.

Players could create a character for free and try it out on the starting island. There they could already test and experience most features.

However, if they wanted to play with guilds and enter the mainland, they had to invest money. A transfer cost around 7 euros.

On the website, however, there is little mention of this. There, under “Get the game,” several packages ranging from 27.99 euros to 92.99 euros are offered first. These include premium accounts for 30 to 90 days, as well as shop currency and 1 to 3 transfer tickets for characters.

Big differences between starting area and mainland

How important is a switch to the mainland? The starting area of Life is Feudal is good for getting to know the game and its features. But the real gaming experience only develops on the mainland, also because all constructed buildings are regularly destroyed to ensure that new players always find a place.

Only on the mainland does guild life begin; there players take care of the maintenance of the lands or their own equipment. Because when switching to the mainland, players retain their skills, but their equipment and inventory are lost.

The map is also huge. It takes over 8 hours to traverse it from north to south, and there are dangers lurking everywhere along the way.

If you really want to get to know the game, you have to tackle switching to the mainland. And one character alone is only enough to experience a fraction of everything in the game.

Life is Feudal Playtest Angler by the lake

What are the player numbers of Life is Feudal? The game has been in early access since January 2018 and had a well-populated niche in the meantime. According to Steamcharts, over 3,000 players played it on average in February 2018.

The numbers dropped until the major update 0.2 in February of this year. After a small upswing, the numbers dropped again, and in June, only 573 players on average logged into the MMO.

With the new changes, they hope to attract new players again.

Our author Benedict watched Life is Feudal for more than 40 hours in 2018. Here is his report on it:

4 Things the leaked gameplay videos reveal about Marvel’s Avengers

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 3 minutes

A lengthy leak video shows the first gameplay of Marvel’s Avengers. Here are 4 insights that can be drawn from this video.

What kind of video is this? Fresh from Comic Con come two leaked videos, each 6 minutes long, of Marvel’s Avengers. They showcase the first gameplay footage that was originally only presented behind closed doors.

In it, you apparently see the first story mission of the game and the gameplay of all 5 Avengers. Since the videos were filmed, the quality isn’t very high, but some interesting details can still be recognized.

The switch between the Avengers is seamless

During the battles in the story missions, you switch between the different heroes without interruptions. The order in which you play the characters seems to be determined by the story.

So in the shown story mission, you cannot simply choose an Avenger and just slash through the game with him until the end. The game will force you to switch.

square enix avengers project shield

Whether this will be the case for all story missions is still unclear. However, for the multiplayer quests, you will be able to choose your heroes. Although there is the restriction that two players cannot choose the same Avenger.

The combat system uses warning signals like in “Assassin’s Creed” games

During the battles in the video, red exclamation marks and indicators repeatedly appear, for example, above the heads of the opponents.

It is a warning system that you know in a similar form from Assassin’s Creed games. It is meant to signal to the player from which direction an attack is coming.

marvels avengers thor ironman

Just like in AC games, there seems to be a kind of counter system attached to it. You can see in the video multiple times how Thor attacks such marked opponents and the red exclamation mark turns white and then disappears.

The Avengers seem to have their own “super moves”

It can be seen clearly in the videos during, for example, the Thor and Ironman gameplay, that both heroes use extremely powerful-looking attacks during their fights.

  • Thor creates a shockwave with his hammer and then has a glowing thunder aura around him for some time.
  • Ironman uses a massive laser beam that tears apart everything in his surroundings.
  • Captain America slams his shield into the ground and thereby throws the opponents away.

It is possible that these attacks need to be charged first; however, you see very little of the game’s interface in the video. Therefore, it’s hard to say what exactly the triggers for such attacks might be.

However, after Ironman, Thor, and Captain America have shown their “special skills”, one can assume that other Avengers heroes will also have their own cool moves.

marvels avengers ironman leak

Is there more than one game mode?

While Marvel’s Avengers is mostly a third-person action game, there will likely be individual sections that play differently.

When the perspective switches from Thor to Ironman in the video, the gameplay changes from a normal action brawler to a rail shooter. The section isn’t very long, but it suggests that there could be more of this.

In any case, this would give each Avenger hero a unique gameplay feel and make them more distinctive.

The strength of the 5 new legendary cards from Hearthstone

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has revealed new cards for Hearthstone . Now there are the powerful legendaries that are sure to dominate the game in the coming months.

We are quickly heading towards the next expansion in Hearthstone, as “Saviors of Uldum” will be released next month. Blizzard continues to reveal numerous cards from the upcoming addon. Many legendary minions for the classes have been revealed now. Some of them are really, really strong! We show you the 5 new cards.

Sir Finley of the Sands is the new legendary Paladin minion. For 2 Mana, he has solid stats of 2/3, but it is his Battlecry that truly sets this Murloc apart. If the deck contains no duplicate cards, the Paladin discovers an improved hero power. Since this is possible very early in the game, it should guarantee many plays of this card.

Druids get Elise the Enlightened. A minion for 5 Mana with stats of 5/5. Her Battlecry is also special. If the deck contains no duplicate cards, the Druid’s hand is duplicated! So if someone has particularly powerful cards in hand, they can simply double them.

Hunters get Brann the Dinosaur Hunter, a minion with stats of 2/4 for a proud 7 Mana. However, his Battlecry is something special. If the player’s deck contains no duplicate cards, Brann summons King Crunch! This is an 8/8 beast with Charge and will most likely be considered a “finisher.” King Crunch alone normally costs 9 Mana.

Mages are looking forward to the legendary minion Reno the Relicologist. For 6 Mana, he brings stats of 4/6 onto the battlefield. He follows the same principle as the other cards, that no card in the Mage’s deck can be present multiple times. If this is the case, his Battlecry deals 10 damage, which is split among random enemies. This goes well with another Mage card.

Warriors receive the legendary minion Armagürtlon, a beast for 6 Mana with stats of 4/7 and Taunt. Additionally, at the end of each turn, it ensures that all minions with Taunt in the Warrior’s hand receive a +2/+2 boost. Thus, Warriors will soon bring even more strong defenders to the board.

What do you think of these new cards? Are they too strong? Too weak? Or just right to shake up Hearthstone again?

Apex Legends intentionally makes its weapons more annoying for players

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Apex Legends is currently annoying players with one thing: the excessive muzzle flash visible on some weapons that obscures everything. This seems to be intentional.

What is the problem with weapons in Apex? Many weapons in Apex Legends have a very pronounced muzzle flash. It is so bad that you can’t see anything except colorful lights. Many players completely lose track of the game and either let enemies escape or get taken out themselves.

Famous streamers are upset

How serious is the problem: The internet is filled with complaints about the muzzle flash. Various well-known streamers have also expressed their frustration:

  • The former Overwatch pro Seagull was taken out along with his buddy because he lost sight of the enemies in the battle due to all the light effects. The enemy killed him and his teammate. “I can’t see him, I can’t see him, this is so stupid!” were his last words in the game.
  • Dr. Disrespect was so confused by all the effects, which also occur with hits, that he got shot and then loudly complained about what he saw as stupid hit feedback: “It shouldn’t feel like my screen is going to explode!”
  • A player named Cassiopeia93 could no longer see where his opponent was after he was firing continuously from an elevated position. Thus, the opponent was able to escape and foil a safe kill. “This is just borderline disgusting!” was the feedback from a Reddit thread on this.

Muzzle flash chaos is probably intentional

Why is the muzzle flash suddenly a topic? Curiously, the muzzle flash was not an issue in Apex Legends until Patch 1.2. Because until then, you had the option to simply turn off the annoying light show.

But with the update, this option disappeared and now you have to live with it. Worse still, it seems that this was not a bug or oversight.

That’s why the strong muzzle flash is intentional: Rather, the developers have added the muzzle flash as an additional difficulty since there are rare weapon upgrades for the barrel that specifically reduce the muzzle flash.

It seems that Respawn wants to give players a clear advantage who manage to obtain such a valuable barrel upgrade. Of course, most players find this rather annoying, as it means that everyone else has little fun shooting.

So it remains to be seen whether Respawn will have a change of heart and either reintroduce the option to turn it off or reduce the “muzzle flash disco” to a bearable level.

The first pro opens up: This is how FIFA 20 plays

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

The German FIFA eSports player MoAuba has already had the opportunity to play FIFA 20 at an EA event. Find out here what he says about the gameplay.

In the FIFA 20 demo, you can test the new gameplay yourself. All info about the demo – release and teams – can be found here.

EA Sports promises numerous innovations and gameplay improvements for FIFA 20. Most fans will be able to find out how these actually affect gameplay earliest at Gamescom or at the demo release.

However, FIFA pro MoAuba has already been able to play an unfinished version of FIFA 20 and shares his experiences.

Who is MoAuba? Mohammed Harkous is a German FIFA pro from SV Werder Bremen. He is a 4-time German champion in FIFA and a top-4 player on PlayStation. He is also part of the new German FIFA national team.

This is how FIFA 20 is played according to MoAuba

What the pro says: According to MoAuba, FIFA 20 feels significantly different from its predecessor. In particular, the well-known meta bugs that allowed for simple goals are said to be toned down now. This includes spamming special moves in the penalty area or the popular and often exploited bug cross. Header shots are also said no longer to be as effective.

Additionally, he noticed 3 things that are new in FIFA 20:

  • New L1 dribbling – The ball is supposed to be closer to the player and allow for quicker direction changes
  • Uneven pitches – The ball is supposed to bounce on uneven surfaces
  • Skill-based manual tackling – Well-timed tackling should give the defender the ball much more often

Furthermore, the goalkeeper should now be controlled much slower when manually repositioning. This makes this feature somewhat fairer.

What else is new in FIFA 20?

What we already know: Some innovations are indeed to be expected in FIFA 20. The standard systems for free kicks and penalties have been completely overhauled. According to EA, the ball physics are also said to be significantly more realistic.

How to make your Guardians pretty AND efficient in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 aims to revolutionize its armor system with Armor 2.0 at the launch of the Shadowkeep expansion. You should no longer have to choose between aesthetic appeal and functional benefits for your Guardians. Now the studio has revealed more details about this system.

What is Armor 2.0? Bungie refers to the armor system to be introduced in Destiny 2 this autumn with the Shadowkeep expansion. This is expected to change drastically compared to the current model.

Players will finally gain more freedom to customize their gear so that they no longer have to compromise between looking good and functionality.

Armor pieces will essentially function as a kind of shell with some stats. You choose a piece you like visually or customize it further with a universal ornament from the Eververse and can then adapt it to your individual wishes and needs with various mods.

destiny-2-shadowkeep-6

So you will finally be able to be both attractive AND efficient – which has been more of an exception in Destiny 2.

What exactly we know so far about Armor 2.0 can be found here: This is how Destiny 2 wants to radically overhaul its armor system with Shadowkeep

Where do the new information come from? Fresh information about the upcoming armor system was shared in another exclusive interview by Bungie with the US site Polygon. There, Destiny Franchise Director Luke Smith and Destiny General Manager Mark Noseworthy chatted a bit about Armor 2.0.

Bungie has now revealed the following about Armor 2.0

Initially, Bungie wanted to know whether the Shadowkeep expansion would bring more customization options for the individual Guardian classes – a widely requested feature among fans.

Bungie heard the feedback and wishes of the players but stated that nothing would change in this regard in autumn. Instead, they primarily focused in Shadowkeep on separating the aesthetics from the gameplay aspect of armors – namely in the form of Armor 2.0.

Then the following details were provided:

  • There will be numerous new mods for armor pieces that can be found or crafted. The exact number has not yet been determined. Work is still actively being done on this – as well as on how powerful the individual mods will eventually be.
  • Armors will have an energy system. This means players will be able to charge or level up armor pieces with energy, thereby increasing the mod capacity of the individual pieces. Players should feel more powerful as they develop their armor.
Here is the bar of the energy system (Source: Houndish on YouTube)
  • Moreover, the number of stats on an armor piece will be doubled. The current stats, mobility, health regeneration, and resilience will be supplemented by intellect, discipline, and strength. These will also reduce the cooldowns for your super, grenades, and melee, as in Destiny 1. The three original stats will also become more noticeable. However, players will have to wait until they find out what this specifically means.
  • These stats and the mods will be the two main pillars of Armor 2.0. The different stat combinations should ensure that the hunt for a good-looking armor piece remains exciting, while the mods allow players to tailor these armor pieces to their own playstyle.
  • Additionally, an appropriate example was provided. Players who like to optimize their builds down to the smallest detail and invest in their gear can get a lot out of it.
  • Moreover, you will be able to stack mods. So if you are totally into hand cannons, you can stack 2 reload mods for hand cannons on the same pair of gloves. The effect will stack and yield more in that specific area. Targeted specializations will thus be possible.

It is thus clearly moving more towards RPG – something many fans have been wishing for a long time.

What do you think of Armor 2.0 based on current knowledge? Is Destiny moving in the right direction?

Pokémon GO: Here is how you can evaluate hundreds of Pokémon in seconds

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The new evaluation system in Pokémon GO is here and is loved by players. You can now evaluate hundreds of Pokémon at once within seconds.

What kind of system is this? With the latest update, a new evaluation system was introduced. It now shows you directly what values your Pokémon has and you no longer need to read long sentences from your team leaders.

But how do you use this system effectively and quickly? What is it best suited for?

How to make the most of the new evaluation system

What do you need to do? If you’ve played for a few hours, you will have accumulated quite a few Pokémon in your Pokémon box. Now it’s time to evaluate and send these quickly. But how is that done best?

Use the search function in Pokémon GO. Enter “0*,1*,2*” in the search bar. All Pokémon under 80% IV will be displayed to you. You can then send these without any worries, as you actually don’t need them.

poor IV
The Groink has 0 stars, so it has very poor IV

As an exception, you should of course keep Pokémon that you want to trade or special ones like Shinies.

If you catch 200 Pokémon in one day, you will already be able to send away 150 Pokémon easily with this search filter.

How to evaluate in more detail: Now you can enter “3*” and you will see all Pokémon that have between 82.2% and 97.8% IV.

Here you can quickly go through with the new evaluation function. Open it with the first Pokémon and check if the Pokémon has all 3 values close to 15, meaning full bars. If that is the case, the Pokémon has over 90% and it is worth keeping.

evaluation
The Alpollo has all values above the second bar, but still not fully. The IV are only slightly above 82%

If it has only one value below 10, meaning still before the second small line, then it has weak IV. The same applies if all bars are only slightly above the 10 mark. Then you can also send it without worries.

Finally, you can also enter “4*” in the search bar. If you have caught a Pokémon with 100% IV, it will be displayed to you. You can thus see it at a glance.

Where is the evaluation system most useful? At events like Community Days, such a system is most beneficial. There, you usually don’t have time to evaluate many Pokémon, but the bag fills up quickly.

What was shown at the Comic Con? The developers presented the first gameplay footage from the campaign behind closed doors and showcased how cool the abilities of the individual heroes are.

It was stated that fun takes precedence over realism, leading to a massive destruction spree in the levels. The customization options of the heroes and the loot were also key topics.

What about customization? Everyone knows what Iron Man or Captain America’s armor looks like. But you can change this completely.

You can adjust the colors and use completely new costumes. You can turn Thor into a Viking or put Hulk in a gangster suit. Additionally, you can give the characters war paint.

The developers plan to offer many customization options. This way, everyone can create their own version of the superheroes.

Loot and Skills Matter

What about the loot? Loot plays a significant role in Marvel’s Avengers. The developers did not reveal much at the Comic Con. However, there are rarity grades for certain items, typically indicated by colors.

It seems that loot will not affect the appearance of the characters. This is purely determined by cosmetic items. The loot you find seemingly only affects gameplay, such as how much damage you deal or how well you are protected.

How do you upgrade abilities? What was shown behind closed doors at the Comic Con was a classic skill tree with various abilities. Each character has individual skills that you unlock and can also upgrade.

What else do we know about Marvel’s Avengers? The single-player campaign of the game is said to be very cinematic, but you can only play it alone. The story revolves around the Avengers trying to stop a terrorist attack but realizing too late that it is a distraction. This leads to many deaths, and the Avengers are subsequently hated and disbanded.

During the single-player campaign, you unlock side missions that you can also experience with your friends in multiplayer. It is important to pay attention to the composition of the team since each hero can only appear once.

With further updates and throughout the story, you will improve your abilities, customize your heroes, and later new superheroes from the Marvel universe with special powers will be added, which you will unlock.

Limit and Method are in a heated duel in the “World First” race of WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The race for the World First Kill of Queen Azshara in WoW is in full swing. Two guilds are in a close race.

In World of Warcraft, the race for the World First Kill of Queen Azshara has ignited. Despite the still varying start times for Europeans, Americans, and Asians, this race is once again very exciting. The two professional guilds Method and Limit are engaged in an exciting duel.

What has happened so far? After the Americans had several hours of advantage due to the time difference and different maintenance activities, many US guilds were already at 3/8 defeated bosses before the Europeans could even participate. However, the 4th boss, Lady Ashwind, proved to be particularly tough and gave the European guild Method enough time to catch up.

Even better: Method even achieved the First Kill of Lady Ashwind and rose to the top!

Shortly after, however, Limit caught up again, allowing both guilds to work on the next boss, Orgozoa. Here, it was the guild Limit that took the lead again and sent the tentacle monster to the ground first.

Method followed shortly after and rushed straight to the queen’s court, which they were able to defeat first. However, the Americans from Limit quickly followed, so now both guilds stand at 6/8 bosses and are tackling Za’qul, the Harbinger of Ny’alotha. This is the last hurdle before it is about “the grand prize”, namely Queen Azshara herself.

She still smiles – but only one boss separates her from the pro guilds.

The race is more exciting than ever: No matter how you look at it, the two pro guilds of Method and Limit are engaged in an exciting race where sometimes one and sometimes the other guild takes the lead. Anyone interested in the World First race is sure to be entertained. This is not least due to the fact that almost all major guilds are streaming their progress live. While the guilds may give away their tricks and tips that other guilds could then copy, it is all the more exciting for the viewers.

Of course, nothing is decided yet, and one of the other guilds could still catch up. Guilds like Exorsus, Pieces, or Aversion are still at 4/8 defeated bosses, but they probably still have enough time to catch up.

The current state in the race for the World First. Image source: wowprogress.com, as of 11:20 AM, 19.07.19

It could very well be that the World First of Queen Azshara will be visible as early as this weekend. Anyone interested in the race should keep an eye on the corresponding Twitch channels.

The Division 2: Do the test servers make the year pass worthless for PC players?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

In the community, there has been a long discussion about whether the Year 1 Pass for The Division 2 is worth the money. Many fans on PC now consider the yearly pass nearly worthless due to the test servers. What do you think about it?

Many fans are currently discussing: Currently, things are rather quiet in The Division 2. Many agents are waiting for new content and further improvements in the form of Title Update 5 as well as the Episode 1 DLCs.

Meanwhile, the community has once again raised the question of whether the contents of the paid Year 1 Pass for The Division 2 are worth their money and actually deliver what they promise.

What is included in the Year 1 Pass for The Division 2? The Year 1 Pass is paid and costs around 40 € when purchased separately. It can also be acquired together with the game in certain editions, making it cheaper.

division-2-year-1-content

The Year 1 Pass includes the following contents:

  • 7 days of early access to all episodes in Year 1, which are released for free for all players.
  • Immediate access to all 3 new specializations from Year 1 as soon as they are released – such as the Gunner. All other players must unlock these new specializations first.
  • 8 Classified Assignments: 8 smaller secret missions that delve deeper into the fall of D.C.
  • Exclusive cosmetic items 
  • Additional in-game activities, meaning one extra project per day and one extra bounty per week.

Discussion about the Year Pass – What fans are saying

What Year Pass supporters are saying: On one hand, there are many players who advocate for purchasing the Year 1 Pass, justifying it with the argument that you directly support the developers this way.

The-Division-2-Expedition

They believe the launch brought a great game with plenty of content and that they are now working hard and steadily to expand The Division 2 further in line with the wishes of the fans. This also incurs high costs, and buying the Year Pass would additionally support this work.

Some say they purchased the Year Pass right after the beta with that goal in mind, to support the developers, and not necessarily due to its content. Massive is taking a different route than many competitors and is essentially releasing all essential additional content for free for all players. Moreover, microtransactions in The Division 2 are said to be limited and fair. Many players want to reward such aspects with the additional purchase.

Others are happy because, for them, the new Gunner specialization was unlocked directly, and they could save themselves this tedious task. Many fans even jokingly say that alone was worth the Year Pass. The classified assignments are also well-received by some players. Ultimately, many players feel that they are getting enough in return from Massive for the additional 40 €.

What disappointed agents are saying: Many are also disappointed with the Year Pass for The Division 2 and clearly say that in their eyes, it is not worth the money.

Many are disappointed with the mini-missions in the form of classified assignments. The specialization quests still need to be played if one wants to obtain the corresponding cosmetics. The additional bounties and projects would not yield anything with the current loot anyway.

division-2-raid-x2

However, where many feel aggrieved is the early access to new content. This aspect was a decisive or even the main argument for many for the purchase. However, this is completely undermined by the test servers, making the pass nearly worthless for many – at least on PC.

Because every PC player has access to these servers and can test and try out most new content there beforehand for free – note that unlike Season Pass owners, they do not have to pay extra for it. Many feel cheated here. Ubisoft is no better than other publishers; they just found a better way to push this Year Pass on players. The associated content is not worth the 40 €.

Furthermore, many doubt that the extra revenue from the Year Pass actually supports the game or the developers in any direct way.

And what do you say? Participate in our survey

In this context, we have prepared a survey for you and want to know if the Year 1 Pass for The Division 2 is worth your money or not.

Remember, you only have one answer option. Additionally, we divided the survey for PC and console players into two pages. Thank you for your time and participation.

In Fortnite, everyone is waiting for the big event, but leakers don’t want to reveal anything

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale the big end-of-season event will take place tomorrow. There will finally be the great final battle between the robot and the Cattus monster. You don’t have to worry about spoilers.

What to expect in Fortnite? Tomorrow, on July 20, 2019 at 8:00 PM, the great duel of the giants is expected to take place. The monster “Cattus” will probably rise from the sea and fight the giant robot “Doggus”.

Update: July 20, 8:45 PM: Monsters and robots have fought. See the epic fight in this video:

More on the topic
In Fortnite, monsters and robots battled epically – Watch the fight here
von Patrick Freese

This naturally raises many questions:

Fortnite-Heist

This could be answered by a bold dive of data miners into the depths of the game data shortly before the event. Because about 30 minutes before the start of the event, the data would be in the game and could be read.

Big data miners don’t want to ruin your fun

This is what the leakers are doing: A data miner who leaks information about the event just before it happens is likely to rake in a lot of traffic on YouTube and other platforms. After all, such end-of-season events are usually attended by millions of players, and they often want to know beforehand what is going to happen.

Others, however, would like to be surprised and have no interest in spoilers. Therefore, several big leakers have teamed up behind the data miner FortTory and announced via the hashtag #Wedontleak that they will refrain from leaking any information about the event beforehand.

fortnite-fallende-spieler-titel-01

Additionally, a call went out to all other leakers to also please adhere to this and not spoil anything in advance.

So the fans are reacting: In general, many players on Reddit appreciated the approach of the leakers and welcomed the idea. However, realistic voices quickly arose, doubting the feasibility of a non-disclosure agreement for the event:

“There is no way to silence everyone who could theoretically extract data. The best method to avoid spoilers is to stay away from social media beforehand.”

Others doubt whether the leakers even have the opportunity to decrypt the data so quickly:

“Funny that they want to profit from not leaking something. They would rather like to leak it but can’t because the data is encrypted.”

But whatever the motives of the leakers behind #Wedontleak are, if it means fewer spoilers circulate about the event, that is a good thing for the community.

But in general, many are looking forward to playing DC Universe Online on the Switch soon.

How drastically Overwatch Brigitte and 10 other heroes change

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The next patch of Overwatch brings many changes to 11 heroes. We tell you what changes are coming soon.

Things are happening in Overwatch these days. First Blizzard announced that “Role-Queue” will be coming soon, where players will have to lock into a role before the match. Now it has also been revealed how significantly some heroes will be adjusted to meet the new system.

So many changes are brought by the next patch of Overwatch

The upcoming changes to the heroes are currently playable on the PTR of Overwatch. Anyone who wants to can try them out on PC and just needs to download the appropriate client.

    • The healing amount has been reduced from 150 to 120.
    • Now heals over 2 seconds instead of instantly.
    • If multiple charges are used on the same person, the current duration is extended by 2 seconds.
  • Whiplash
    • The impact speed has been increased from 60 to 80.
    • The cooldown time of the ability has been reduced from 0.6 seconds to 0.3 seconds.

  • Teleporter
    • Now lasts indefinitely or until destroyed.
    • Symmetra can manually destroy her teleporter.
    • The cooldown begins once a teleporter has been destroyed.
    • The cooldown has been increased from 12 to 15 seconds.
    • The maximum range has been increased from 25 to 30 meters.
    • The teleporter is destroyed when the two teleporters are further than 40 meters apart (e.g. on moving platforms).
    • Teleporters can now only be used by the same character every 1.5 seconds (instead of every second).

Tracer

  • Pulse Bomb
    • The damage has been increased from 300 to 350.

Wrecking Ball (Hammond)

  • Minefield
    • The projectile speed has been increased from 10 to 13, causing the mines to spread out over a larger radius.
    • The activation time has been reduced from 0.25 seconds to 0.1 seconds.

Why are there so many changes? In his “Developer Update,” Game Director Jeff Kaplan explained why there are now so many adjustments. The reason is the new Role-Queue system and the associated balance of a “2-2-2” team (2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 DPS). For example, Kaplan mentioned Brigitte. Brigitte is currently extremely strong when combined with two other healers. This will no longer be possible in the future, which is why significant adjustments are necessary to ensure that Brigitte continues to serve a purpose.

MMORPG Astellia announces date for the second beta – Here’s how you can participate

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The Asia MMORPG Astellia will enter its second Closed Beta this July. The developers have now informed us about the date and new content.

When does the second Closed Beta start? The second Closed Beta of Astellia will open on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, starting at 9:00 AM German time.

The Beta will run until Tuesday, August 6, 2019, at 5:00 PM. So you have just over a week to test the game.

How do I participate in the Beta? For the second Beta, there will be keys available, as with the first, that you can win. Therefore, you should definitely keep an eye on Astellia’s social media channels.

A guaranteed participation in the second Closed Beta can be obtained through the Platinum or the Legendary Founder’s Package. Both give you early access to the game, as well as special rewards and a key for the second Closed Beta.

  • The Platinum Package costs 59.99 euros
  • The Legendary Package costs 99.99 euros

Astellia itself will be Buy2Play, so you will also need to pay around 30 euros for regular game access.

More Focus on PvP and the Shop

What’s new in the second Beta? In the first Closed Beta, the PvE areas, crafting, and even the legendary dungeons could already be tested. We took a close look at these contents for you.

The second Beta shifts its focus a bit more towards PvP. The area Avalon, which can be compared to the “World vs. World” from Guild Wars 2, will be extensively tested.

Additionally, the real-money shop will be introduced, which will be scrutinized. This will determine whether Astellia can keep its promise of not being pay-to-win.

Images of a PvP battle in Astellia

Are there adjustments compared to the first Beta? The developers have thoroughly evaluated the feedback from the first Beta. There should already be adjustments to mana regeneration, the speed of progress, and the difficulty of dungeons.

When will Astellia be released? So far, there is no official release date for the MMORPG. However, it is definitely slated for release in 2019. The current target is the third quarter.

This is how the new ESO DLC Scalebreaker is coming, which you will soon be playing

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 4 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online will soon receive the new DLC Scalebreaker. You can already play it on the test server. We have gathered player feedback on the new update here for you.

What is Scalebreaker? Scalebreaker is the 3rd DLC for 2019 in ESO. It brings 2 new dungeons and launches simultaneously with the free Update 23, which introduces some long-awaited innovations and adjustments to the game. Among other things, the following should be possible:

  • Mass crafting of items
  • Multiple bids at trading guild marketplaces
  • Use the Unraveled keys as currency and exchange them specifically for loot boxes
eso-scalebreaker-06

Feedback on Update 23 and Scalebreaker from the Test Server

You can learn how players are reacting to the dungeons and the new features in the DLC and Update 23 in the following paragraphs.

How the new dungeons are received

Moongrab Temple Town: This dungeon revolves around a fallen dragon that is being misused by vampires. The idea sounds good, but players in the forum have encountered a few problems with the final boss.

It is simply too stressful, as it distributes numerous effects. Among other things, there are various damage-over-time effects, debuffs, and other annoying states. It is no fun to struggle through this chaos. However, the dungeon is enjoyable until the final boss.

eso-scalebreaker-04

Hoard of Maarselok: This dungeon features a dragon plotting devious things in its hoard. The dungeon is already well-received by players in the forum. Fans even compare it to the also popular Sunspire raid from Elsweyr. Especially the mechanics of the final boss are well-executed in hard mode.

What fans say about the changes to the trading guilds

With Update 23, guilds will be able to offer up to ten different locations for the guild trader per week. This is intended to ensure that guilds have a better chance of getting the location they desire.

eso-kostenlos-titel-01

However, some fans worry in the forum that unfair situations may arise due to increased bidding fees, as wealthy guilds can effectively afford the up to 10 possible bids.

But some players also note that this system likely cannot be well tested on the PTS and it will only reveal whether it works well on the live server.

This is the feedback on multi-crafting

This innovation is extremely well-received, as you can finally craft large quantities of items at once. And indeed all at once, not one after another, as was previously possible in various addons.

eso-clockwork-02

This delights the fans in the forum greatly, and they wish for a precise input of the number of items to be crafted and better filtering methods.

What do fans say about the new keys from the Undaunted?

In Update 23, you will receive the keys from the Undaunted challenges as currency, no longer as inventory items. With the new keys, you can buy a loot box containing rare items with 5 keys.

eso-problem-titel-01

The idea of using keys as currency is universally well-received in the forum. However, many generally feel that it is too much to ask for 5 keys for a box, as the RNG factor is very high for obtaining a specific type of item.

There is a 50% chance that armor drops, and then there is RNG on the type and trait as well. Therefore, 2 or 3 keys would be a better price.

How the new story is received (Warning, Spoilers!)

If you want to know how the story of Elsweyr and the Season of the Dragon continues, you can already access the prologue quest for the 4th DLC “Dragonhold”. It’s about teaming up with the swordmaster and dragon hunter Sai Sahan to initiate the final battle against the dragons .

ESO Bethesda PK ddues - Kopie

While Sai Sahan is an old fan-favorite from the base game, his appearance is confusing to some players. Depending on the player’s choice at the end of the base game, Sai Sahan could have met his demise. How can he be alive now?

The explanation is that he simply does not remember what happened after his “death” and has woken up somewhere in the Dragon’s Tail Mountains. This explanation does not sit well with all players in the forum.

Many find it rather silly and feel that the decision from the base game is completely consequence-free and thus irrelevant. However, perhaps there will be a better explanation later in the game for the resurrection of the swordmaster.

That’s all for the feedback from the Scalebreaker test server and Update 23. The release is planned for August 2019, and the developers will surely change a thing or two by then.

Overwatch introduces role restrictions in Quick Match, introduces 3 skill ratings

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Big changes are coming to Overwatch . Instead of a skill rating, players will now have three different ones!

Just yesterday, the leak circulated that there will soon be a “Role Queue” in Overwatch. Players will have to choose which role they want to play before the match: Tank, Healer, or DPS. They will be bound to this decision during the match. Game Director Jeff Kaplan has now explained more details about the new system in a long video. Overwatch is completely revamping its matchmaking.

Recommended editorial content

Link to the YouTube content

A skill rating for each role: The biggest change is likely to be that all players in ranked matches will now receive three different skill ratings, one for Healers, one for Tanks, and one for the DPS role. This means that a player could be ranked “Gold” as a Healer, “Platinum” as a Tank, and only “Silver” as DPS.

Currently, the Summer Games are taking place in Overwatch. Reinhardt is getting an “extremely German” skin!

Role Queue is also coming for Quick Play: The “Role Queue” is coming not just in ranked mode but also in Quick Play. This will create a requirement, as all teams will consist of a “2-2-2” combination, meaning 2 Tanks, 2 Healers, and 2 DPS. If someone absolutely doesn’t want this, they can find the “Quick Match Classic” mode in the Arcade and play there without these restrictions as before.

When is the system coming? The patch is set to go live in mid-August. The current ranked season will then be ended early to introduce a two-week test season for the new system. This “Beta Season” will last until the beginning of September. From then on, the “Role Queue” will be mandatory in ranked games, Quick Play, and also in the Overwatch League.

This change is not due to the meta: Kaplan emphasizes in the video that this change is not being made to forcefully change or influence the meta in Overwatch. A meta would also develop with the new system, and there will always be players who are dissatisfied with it!

Instead, the new system is meant to ensure that all players can truly play the role they want to. This alleviates social pressure because currently there are only 40 seconds during a match to form a good composition.

Many players feel forced to take on a role they did not want to play. With the new Role Queue system, these problems will completely disappear. There should also be fewer problems with cheaters in the future.

More rewards in ranked: Because players now receive their own skill ratings for all three roles, they also need to qualify for all roles. This requires 5 placement matches for each role – a total of 15. Those who qualify in all roles will receive more Competitive Points than with the old system. However, those who only want the spray logo and display picture of the season can also qualify with just one role.

This is how many “Competitive Points” you get under the new and old systems.

What do you think of all these changes? Is this a good step for Overwatch? Or is it going in completely the wrong direction?
