Fortnite: Tfue’s partner says that the stream sniper ruined his World Cup qualification

The qualification for the Fortnite World Cup is over, and even Tfue’s partner, Cloakzy, did not make it. He blamed stream snipers for that.

This is Cloakzy: Together with Tfue, Dennis “Cloakzy” Lepore forms one of the best duos in Fortnite. However, this duo did not make it to the World Cup and failed in the qualifiers.

The pro spoke about his elimination in a podcast, blaming stream snipers among other things. They often took important points away from the pros towards the end.

This is how Cloakzy explains the elimination

What does the pro say? Cloakzy states that stream snipers definitely share some responsibility for the elimination. Especially towards the end of a round, when players realize that they cannot qualify, they become increasingly aggressive towards other players.

“Epic removed the anonymous mode. Turner [Tfue] reaches 300,000 people. We are always first with a lead of 10-15 points each week. Then towards the end, when people know they won’t qualify, we are repeatedly massively attacked by other players. Often, there’s nothing we can blame ourselves for, but in 7 out of 9 weeks in the qualification matches, we were less than five points away from qualifying.”

Cloakzy on the podcast “The CouRage and Nadeshot Show”

What does the pro mean by that? When competitors realize towards the end of the qualifiers that they have too few points, they want to ruin it for other players. They can easily follow the duo’s location in Tfue’s stream and see if they might have weaknesses. Because Tfue is so well-known, many players actively hunt him.

Cloak and Tfue – One of the best duos in the world

In another statement, he says:

“You have these people who are not qualifying, and they are in their eighth or ninth game. The round is only 20-30 minutes left and they have 16, 18 points. They will not qualify and will do everything in their power to prevent others from qualifying.”

Cloakzy on the podcast “The CouRage and Nadeshot Show”

Is this a known problem? Cloakzy is not the first player to complain about this. Already Ninja complained about stream snipers at the beginning of the qualification.

Many players simply want to show that they are good and can even eliminate the most famous players. They abandon everything and rush straight at the streamer. In their stream, they easily see where he is currently located.

Why didn’t Tfue just turn off the stream? Cloakzy explained that Tfue offered to turn off the stream. However, Cloakzy did not want that, as he believes Tfue plays better with the stream on.

Fortnite-Heist

Is there any truth to the pro’s accusations? It is quite possible that the duo did not qualify because of stream snipers. However, it cannot be denied that Tfue also qualified in solo and that there was a stream running there as well.

Other duos are also struggling with stream snipers, though most do not have the same reach as Tfue. Nevertheless, they show that it is possible even with these problems.

Recently, Tfue explained which 2 weapons should be removed from Fortnite:

However, what the whole weapons can ultimately do in the game is still not concretely known. Some of the names are different than in reality, possibly because licenses are not available for all weapons.

More weapons are planned

What else is coming? This list with over 30 guns is already quite substantial. But a few more weapons are planned, including various rocket launchers and two yet unknown sniper rifles. So there should still be plenty of new firearms in the game.

Modern-Warfare-Fire-Roof

This is how fans are reacting: The weapon list triggered reactions from fans on Reddit, especially those who missed a weapon. Especially fans of shotguns often complained that there are currently only 4 confirmed shotguns. For example, the automatic shotgun SPAS-12 is sorely missed by some fans.

On the other hand, players who consider shotguns to be dumb noob weapons are happy and are fed up with them.

But everyone agrees that many more weapons will likely be added and that the list will ultimately grow larger.

Whoever bought the new Ryzen 3000 can soon play Destiny 2

PC gamers with the Ryzen 3000 CPU from AMD currently cannot play Destiny 2 with the expensive new processor. The manufacturer has apparently identified the error. A fix is expected to bring relief in the form of a BIOS update soon.

This should please many PC gamers: As AMD announced, they have identified the problem that prevents Destiny 2 on PC from working with the new Ryzen 3000 processor generation – just like numerous Linux applications. The company shared this in a statement to their motherboard partners.

Here’s how they plan to solve the problem: Now that the cause has been determined, a solution is already in place. They have already sent a new BIOS code to the motherboard manufacturers.

These manufacturers are now working on corresponding BIOS updates that are supposed to fix the error for affected Ryzen 3000 owners as soon as they are delivered.

When will the problem finally be fixed? That should happen soon. AMD says they expect customers will have access to the updates in the coming days.

“AMD has identified the cause of a problem affecting the operation of certain Linux distributions and Destiny 2 on Ryzen 3000 processors, and has already implemented a BIOS fix for it. We have distributed an updated BIOS to our motherboard partners and expect customers to have access to the new BIOS in the coming days.”

What was the issue with the incompatibility? AMD’s Ryzen 3000 is a long-awaited and highly praised new CPU for PCs based on 7nm technology. The new processor line was only recently released on July 7.

However, players who have purchased the new Ryzen 3000 report that they cannot play Destiny 2. The game doesn’t even start. Essentially, everyone who upgraded their PC and invested in the expensive new hardware has lost access to the game – much to the frustration of many Guardians.

This should finally be resolved in the next few days.

A new feature on Steam tells you what to play – What do you get out of it?

A new experimental feature has been revealed for Steam. This is designed to help you find suitable games faster.

What it’s about: For its distribution platform Steam, the company Valve has provided a new technique. This aims to make game recommendations more accurately tailored to the individual user. It is referred to as the “Interactive Recommender” and relies on a “neural network model”.

What’s new about the system: Until now, game recommendations were mainly based on user reviews and tags. The new model generates suggestions in real time based on striking data, such as playtime history, and has been trained on data from millions of Steam users and gaming sessions.
Game information, such as genre or price, is no longer considered.

More on the topic
These 5 MMORPGs had the most players on Steam in May 2019
von Andreas Bertits

What do I, as a player, gain from the innovation? The system will be highly customizable. You as a user will have the option to adjust the new recommender through various parameters. For example, only newer games can be suggested on request, or niche titles from the vast Steam catalog can be explicitly searched.
If the system is successful, it can save a significant amount of time in searching for titles and expand your library with unexpected games.

What does Steam gain from the new feature? On one hand, the new system promises an improved user experience in the form of more precision in searching for new titles. This could be a long-term reason for players to use the store.

Steam Logo
Let’s see who laughs last.

On the other hand, the new function also brings benefits for developers.

They no longer have to optimize their games according to the algorithm used by conventional search models.
According to the visionaries at Steam, developers will be able to focus entirely on fun gameplay without worrying about which tags and metadata might influence the success of their product. Smaller titles from indie developers could particularly benefit from the new feature.

How can I try the new model? You can find and try the new recommender in the Steam Laboratories within the ongoing experiments.

The recommendation didn’t fit you? No worries, here you can find a guide on how to return the mispurchase:

3 things The Division 2 needs to change to attract more players again

The online shooter The Division 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is currently in a quieter phase. We wanted to know what changes MeinMMO readers wish for to look back into The Division 2. They expressed 3 major wishes.

Where do the numbers come from? We created a MeinMMO survey on July 1. We wanted to know: “What is the most important change that The Division 2 needs for you to play again?”

A total of 2,874 agents participated in the survey.

The 3 biggest wishes revolve around loot and content

Here are the top 3 changes: The top 3 changes are nearly equal at around 20%.

  • “I want more exciting items to hunt, better gear sets, and more exotics” – 568 readers chose this option (19.7%)
  • “The way I obtain gear needs to change” – 557 readers voted for this (19.3%)
  • “I want more new content” – 526 readers chose this option (18.3%).

The new exotic “Diamondback” is coming to The Division 2.

95% of our readers are giving The Division 2 another chance

What else did the survey reveal? There are two major insights:

  • Only 151 readers said “I will not play The Division 2, no matter what they do” – so only about 5% of all readers. 95% would give the game another chance.
  • 431 readers said “I am still playing anyway.”

The game still has a future, even though the desire for change is strong.

Title Update 5 addresses some issues, but not all

Is The Division 2 addressing the issues? Of the 3 wishes from our readers, two will be at least partially fulfilled on July 23:

However, 290 readers also wanted a “rework of the skill system to increase build diversity” – Update 5 seems to aim to deliver that.

The Title Update 5 will be released on July 23 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Division-2-Umfrage

The survey shows: It is clear that many of our readers are currently taking a break from The Division 2, but are definitely considering a return.

The new Update 5 and Episode 1 seem to hit the mark, although some readers would have wished for an even more radical overhaul.

But by the end of July 2019, Washington, DC, can expect significantly more visits from MeinMMO readers than it is currently seeing.

MMORPG Bless Unleashed starts on Xbox One – How the beta is currently received

The MMORPG Bless Unleashed for Xbox One is currently in the 2nd Closed Beta. The testers are generally satisfied, but the combat system is something that many still do not like at all.

How is the Beta of Bless Unleashed being received? Bless Unleashed, the standalone offshoot of the unfortunate MMORPG Bless, is in its 2nd Closed Beta from July 11 to July 15. The testers have already gathered quite a bit of feedback. Players currently appreciate the following on Reddit:

  • The beautiful graphics of the game
  • Stable and good performance on Xbox One
  • Few bugs. In fact, the developers removed 99% of the known issues from the 1st Beta.
  • Good presence of the developers in the game as Game Masters and on social media during the Beta.

However, one thing currently stinks for almost all testers: the combat system!

Combat system far below expectations

What is the problem with the combat system? The unanimous opinion of the beta testers regarding the combat system is: Why the hell is it so slow?

Players on Reddit are already derogatorily calling it “Slow Unleashed”, as the fighting is so slow and sluggish, especially for melee classes. Here are a few statements from annoyed players on Reddit:

  • “When I watch developer videos, the combat system looks fast, quick, and responsive. However, when I play it, I have a 2 to 3-second lag between the controller input and a reaction on the screen. It feels like two completely different games.”
  • “I really have to say that the pace of the combat system is just a notch above a turn-based game.”
  • “The stamina is so painfully limited that one might really think they are playing a horror game, where you are intentionally meant to feel desperate and helpless.”
  • “Combos take forever to string together. There’s at least a 2-second delay between each part of the chain.”
BlessUnleashed_Archer

The combat system was already sluggish in the 1st Beta, and fans are now slowly wondering when the developers will change anything. Others fear that Bless has been designed intentionally slow. After all, the devs closed other issues quite promptly.

That would be a big step back for many, as they had expected fast action gameplay like in TERA or Black Desert Online for Bless Unleashed. Both games are also available on Xbox One and are strong competition for Bless Unleashed.

After just 2 days, the current WoW end boss is nerfed – Here’s what it means

After just over two days, the current final boss of World of Warcraft has already been nerfed. Azshara is now significantly easier.

Since last Wednesday, the latest raid “Eternal Palace” has been available in World of Warcraft. Many guilds are making their way through the raid in heroic and normal mode. The greatest barrier is the final boss Azshara, who turned out to be somewhat stronger than expected. The developers have already reacted and nerfed numerous abilities of Azshara. We reveal what has changed.

Azshara has been nerfed on all difficulties: The final boss of the Eternal Palace has undergone a lot of adjustments. All changes to Azshara are direct nerfs designed to make the fight easier.

  • Aethanel and Cyranus have 10% fewer health points in LFR, normal, and heroic difficulty.
  • Azshara’s Unyielding, Azshara’s Devoted, Overzealous Colossus, and all Sirens have 10% fewer health points on all difficulty levels.
  • Queen Azshara now only drains 30% energy from the Ancient Protector during Phase 1 (previously 50% energy).
  • The Short Circuit triggered by the Controlled Outbreak of the Titan Console now drains less energy from an Ancient Protector, namely:
    • 30% on heroic difficulty (previously 40%).
    • 40% on mythic difficulty (previously 50%).
  • The casting time of Arcane Detonation has been raised to 6 seconds in LFR and 5 seconds in normal mode. Heroic and Mythic remain at 4 seconds.
  • The Controlled Outbreak of the Titan Console has a higher chance of granting players the “Essence of Azeroth” buff in Phase 4 of the fight.

Why has it already been nerfed? Queen Azshara has proven to be too difficult. Many groups that were supposed to succeed in the boss fight failed against her. Therefore, some mechanics have been simplified, and other areas have been given a bit more room for error. The fight is still not really “easy”.

By the way: The mythic mode and the LFR variant are not yet available. They will open their gates next Wednesday (July 17). If you want to see the ending cinematic, you can do that here.

What else did the hotfix bring? Apart from adjustments to the raid, there were also other minor changes intended to make life easier for players in Azeroth. Some of the most important changes include:

  • Completing the Heroic Warfront and defeating the enemy commander now grants the corresponding quest progress to all participants.
  • Companions in Nazjatar who are in stealth should no longer generate threat to their surroundings.
  • Sir Finley Mrrgglton no longer disappears as easily when accompanying players on quests in Mechagon.

What do you think of these changes? Is it good that Blizzard reacted so quickly? Or should this have happened on the PTR?

Thousands are currently amazed by this hidden PS4 feature – Do you know it?

A player stumbled upon an old feature of the PS4 and was so amazed that he shared it with other players on Reddit. This promptly left thousands more players in awe. Because this and other useful features are so well hidden that many are not even aware of them. Did you know about this?

What happened? Do you think you already know your PS4 inside out? Then you should take a look at some of the following features of the Sony console. Even loyal users and fans who have been around for years still find the occasional surprise that leaves them astonished.

Reddit user RockyBalbubba also experienced this, as he recently came across a hidden feature on the PS4 that he didn’t know existed after nearly five years with the console. He was so amazed that he shared his experiences on Reddit, leaving many others open-mouthed. Apparently, he was far from the only one who was unaware of this feature.

ps4-pro

Here’s what the feature is about: As RockyBalbubba recently discovered, it is possible to view the hidden trophies of a game in detail on the PS4. If you select a hidden trophy and press the Square button in the trophy view, the description of the secret trophy is revealed – complete with details.

A really useful feature that saves dedicated trophy hunters additional research online.

That’s why it’s so odd: This feature has been available on the PS4 for years. It has been usable since the release of firmware 4.00 in September 2016. However, it was so well hidden that many users did not notice it at all.

So fans are reacting: More than 27,000 Reddit users upvoted the thread – after just 24 hours. Numerous PS4 users thanked the almost 1,500 comments for this “discovery,” as they, too, have been oblivious since the console’s launch – whether as newcomers or longtime users.

The post quickly turned into a kind of collection thread for more cool and useful features that not every PS4 user is aware of yet.

Even the official PlayStationUK account on Twitter has now posted the Reddit thread so that more fans can finally learn about these features.

PlayStation 4: Now you can finally change your name in the PSN

Here are some more PS4 tricks from the community: We have picked out a few tricks, tips, and features that were also presented in the thread.

  • The slower the light on your controller pulses while charging, the more it is charged.
  • You can lower the brightness of the controller light and thus significantly extend the battery life. Go to Settings/Devices/Controllers and set the brightness of the DualShock 4 light bar to low.
  • If you are currently viewing a hidden trophy, you have the option to conveniently and directly search for guides for that success from the PS4. Press the options button in the trophy view and select Search the Internet.
  • If you find “typing” with the controller too cumbersome, you can also conveniently use your mobile phone or tablet as a keyboard. For this, you’ll need the official PlayStation app for iOS or Android. Once the PS4 and the smartphone are connected (via Settings/Connected Devices), you can type much more comfortably than with the DualShock gamepad.

Do you know any other tricks, tips, or features that everyone should know? Share them with us and other readers in the comments.

Although Bungie Destiny 2 is still being expanded and improved, there are some things that players wish for in the shooter. The community manager dmg04 recently responded to a player’s request and explained why there are features that players still have to wait for after years.

What features are being discussed? In the Destiny subreddit, a Guardian recently started a thread addressing often-requested features. In particular, it concerned options for content that has been in the game for some time, if not for years.

These included:

  • Mercury from Curse of Osiris: Players still cannot ride the Sparrow there
  • Sleeper Nodes from Warmind: There is still no protection against players having to open nodes they have already opened

Additionally, updates for the content from the last seasons were also requested. Unlocking the forges from the Black Armory might be fun the first time, but every subsequent time it is a chore. An update for the mode Reckoning from the Season of the Drifter was also requested.

destiny-2-merkur-arena
Mercury is the only planet in Destiny 2 where you still cannot ride the Sparrow

What is the problem? Players are progressing further in Destiny 2 with their power level, which makes some mechanics of old content feel like an additional slowdown. After all, more and more features are being added to the game, but they often only affect newer content.

While there is a protection against receiving items you already have in the collection for the Eververse and Xur, this does not apply to activities and quests. It is still a nightmare for players to open all sleeper nodes on Mars, as it is possible that they simply do not receive the quest for the missing nodes.

What does Bungie say? The community manager dmg04 has commented on the post. The questions and requests from players help the developers understand what Guardians want most in the game.

However, some requests are more difficult to implement than others, as he explained with the example of the Sparrow on Mercury. The team had previously attempted to make riding the Sparrow on the planet from Curse of Osiris possible. However, this led to crashes or affected several activities on Mercury.

The problem took some time and blocked the developers from working on other things during that time. The team decided to look at the issue at a later point, as they simply did not have enough time to fix the error at the time.

The developers had to decide: do they spend time on the Sparrow Mercury issue or work on the Curse Cycle in the Dreaming City? The team will continually make such decisions regarding prioritizing and determining which features are more important right now and which can be addressed at a different time.

22 year old MMORPG Tibia receives a major graphical update from fans – Here’s what it looks like

Tibia is now 22 years old. Nevertheless, fans are still playing it enthusiastically. Two of the fans have taken on a mammoth project and are giving the MMORPG classic a new graphics.

What is Tibia? The MMORPG was developed in 1995 by then-students Stephan Börzsönyi, Guido Lübke, Ulrich Schlott, and Stephan Vogler at the University of Regensburg and was released in January 1997.

The MMORPG Tibia has gained popularity over the years and is still playable today, over 22 years later. It even has a loyal fan base of around 500,000 active players, who keep discovering new things in the game.

Tibia plays like a typical MMORPG. You create a hero, explore the game world together with friends, fight monsters, and improve your character.

The comparison between 2D and 3D

In the video below, you will find the current and completely pixelated 2D gameplay of Tibia.

What does Tibia look like now in 2D? The 2D graphics of Tibia strongly resemble Ultima 6, released in 1990, but with higher resolution and more details.

You control your hero from a top-down perspective through a colorful game world. This graphics now seem outdated, but the fans don’t mind too much. A better look would still be nice.

This is what Tibia looks like in 3D:

This is why the project is impressive: The two Polish players “Fedor” and “Picus” have been working on an ambitious project for over a year. They want to improve the graphics of Tibia.

This means that the 2D visuals will be completely replaced by a 3D engine. This entails that essentially all graphical assets need to be recreated.

Every object, every texture, and every creature must be recreated. It is a gigantic project that has already taken good shape.

von Benedict Grothaus

The two Tibia fans are working on this project in their spare time. Although Tibia does not look super modern with the new graphics, the graphics are not comparable to those of The Elder Scrolls Online, it still makes a significantly better impression visually.

What does the 3D Tibia look like? Several videos have been released showing how Tibia looks in 3D. Interestingly, the charm and character of the game remain intact.

The videos make a good impression.

https://youtu.be/9ujIHfYHO0s

The release is still uncertain

When will the graphics update be released? There is currently no release date.

Is the project even allowed to be released? It could be that Tibia developers Cipsoft require the work on the graphics update to be stopped. However, the company has not yet acted against fan projects. For instance, an alternative version of Tibia Online, named Archlight Online, has long existed and is tolerated.

It is therefore conceivable that Cipsoft has no objections to the release of the graphics update for the MMORPG.

Twitch star Tfue explains which 2 weapons need to disappear from Fortnite

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Twitch star Tfue is fed up with 2 weapons. In his opinion, the game would be much better without these guns.

Which weapons are we talking about? In a stream, pro Tfue was caught off guard by an opponent and taken down up close with the controversial drum shotgun. This prompted the streamer to voice his thoughts on the state of the game.

According to Tfue, who is number 3 on Twitch, the two new shotguns, the combat shotgun and the drum shotgun, are not a good addition to the weapon pool.

fortnite-drum-shotgun-titel

Everything would be better without the drum and combat shotgun

What is the problem with the two weapons? According to Tfue, there are too many shotguns. In addition to the two new shotguns, there is also the unbreakable tactical shotgun and the reintroduced pump shotgun. This makes four shotguns in the game, and it muddles up the loot pool.

TFue states that with so many different weapons spawning in various rarities, it is now harder to get the weapon that you want:

“It seems like all the good guns are so damn rare. When I first started playing, gray pump shotguns were everywhere.”

Now Tfue often gets some bad guns and is having less and less fun in the game.

Fans criticize: The loot pool in Fortnite is messed up

What do the fans say? Tfue is not alone in his opinion. On Reddit, various players agree with him:

  • “Right now, just as the loot pool is working again, they bring in this damn drum shotgun and everything is ruined again. I can hardly find pump or combat shotguns anymore. Just the damn drum shotgun.”
  • “I don’t get the point of the drum shotgun. It’s a shotgun that does assault rifle damage.”

According to many fans, it is indeed necessary to readjust the loot pool by at least removing the drum shotgun. However, the combat shotgun still seems to have its supporters.

The dilemma of shotguns in the loot pool seems to remain a significant issue for Fortnite in Season 9.

Overwatch is cracking down harder on cheaters and you will benefit from it

Cheaters in Overwatch will soon face stricter penalties. And the best part: Other players will no longer suffer because of them.

Cheaters are still a problem in Overwatch, even though the developers are taking strong action against them. In the upcoming patch, currently being tested on the PTR, it will be even easier to punish offenders. Players who end up in a match with cheaters will no longer have to worry about their skill rating – no matter which side they are on.

What kind of cheats are there? As with most other shooters, there is a lot of cheating software available. There are aimbots that automatically aim for the opponents’ heads, or wallhacks that allow players to see through walls. Speedhacks are also common, where characters move at absurd speeds and seem to teleport across the map.

Recommended editorial content

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

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

What will change? Overwatch will receive new systems that are designed to automatically detect and sanction cheaters. If the game identifies that there is a cheater on one side, then that (ranked) match will not affect the skill rating of a player. It doesn’t matter if you are on a team with the cheater or have to compete against them. If a cheater is identified, then the entire match will have no impact on the skill rating.

Another problem that Overwatch is currently facing is smurf accounts.

Harsh penalties for offenders: Jeff Kaplan also announced that there would be “harsh penalties” for cheaters. Although he did not provide any specific details, based on previous cheating incidents in Overwatch, first-time offenders may expect a ban of several weeks, while repeat offenders may lose access to the game entirely. However, this is just speculation, as no specific penalties have been mentioned.

Also discussed were the Summer Games and Hero 31:

Modern Warfare showcases its multiplayer for the first time: Why fans are worried

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has shown gameplay from its mysterious multiplayer for the first time. However, some fans were not convinced and are worried. This is what the developers say about it.

This is what many fans have been waiting for: On July 11, it finally happened. The 2019 reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare publicly showcased gameplay from its mysterious multiplayer for the first time.

For over an hour, 4 well-known content creators from the CoD scene were able to play a special mode from the multiplayer part in a stream. Thus, anyone interested could get an initial impression of what players can expect from fall onwards.

What was showcased? The mode played was Gunfight. The streamers engaged in fast-paced, hectic duels in a 2vs2 format on three different maps designed specifically for this mode.

The mode played out differently than most (Face-Off in MW3 was similar), compared to what players are used to from Call of Duty. Besides better weapon animations and impactful sounds, it quickly became apparent that some familiar features such as class selection or creation, auto-heal, and the mini-map were absent in this mode.

Instead, there were some new features to see, such as executions, where you can eliminate an unaware opponent from behind with a knife.

You can watch the entire gameplay presentation here:

That’s why some fans are worried: Not everyone was convinced by the presentation. The showcased gameplay was praised by many, but during the stream, some fans noted that this new multiplayer mode did not really excite them. They hope that it is not representative of the entire multiplayer experience and that more content is on the way.

Some characteristic aspects would be missing. The gameplay would be too different from the usual experience in the multiplayer of the series. A true Call of Duty feeling simply has not yet emerged, according to the criticism of some fans. They would prefer a more traditional experience.

Modern-warfare-juggernaught

What do the developers say about fans’ concerns: The criticism did not go unnoticed by the developers of Modern Warfare. To address fans’ concerns, the lead multiplayer developer of Infinity Ward, Joe Cecot, quickly spoke up on Twitter.

There, he answered a fan’s question about whether the rest of the multiplayer would play the same way or if there would be a more traditional experience. Because the new mode is not really his style.

https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1149374490704400385

Joe Cecot replied that there would definitely be a traditional multiplayer. This was just a taste.

Fans apparently won’t have to wait too long for more information. The full official presentation of the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is set to take place on August 1. By then, fans should know exactly what to expect from the multiplayer part of the reboot.

This is how the Gunfight mode works in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2019:

Having now gained insight into the Gunfight mode for over an hour, we now know how this new format works. This is what makes Gunfight special:

  • You play exclusively 2 vs 2
  • The maps for Gunfight are designed specifically for this mode
  • 3 maps are already known: King (Warehouse), Pine (Forest area), and Stack (Container yard in the desert).
  • There is no class selection or creation. The loadouts are fixed and change every 2 rounds
Modern-Warfare-Sniper
  • After the match begins, you have 40 seconds to decide the outcome. If there is no winner after 40 seconds, a flag appears that must be defended for 3 seconds to win. If neither team succeeds, the team with more remaining total health wins.
  • Each player starts with 100 health, so 200 per team.
  • There is no auto-heal or any other healing possibility.
  • At the top, the combined health of both teams is displayed, so you can see how much damage has been dealt and how much health your team has left.

What do you think of the Gunfight mode and the gameplay shown from the multiplayer? Does it make you want more?

“Big Fucking Patch” transforms Pagan Online – But everything earned is gone

The action RPG Pagan Online received a major update. This changes so much that even the entire game progress had to be reset. Everything earned is gone after the wipe.

What was released? Mad Head Games and Wargaming have launched the first “Big Fucking Patch” for the Early Access version of Pagan Online. With this BFP, the hack ‘n slash is supposed to be played completely differently now.

Pagan Online combat screenshot

A massive update for Pagan Online

What changes has the BFP introduced? There are several major new features and changes to the game. These are so extensive that there was a wipe, meaning the reset of characters in the game:

  • The Ability Tree: A new ability system for the heroes has been integrated, which is supposed to be more robust and interesting in the long run. Each time you level up, you now get a skill point that you can use to buy new skills or improve skills in three levels.
  • Each hero gets two new abilities to improve balancing.
  • The stat system has been overhauled so that players not only focus on offensive characters but can also try out defensive builds.
  • New items are making their way to Pagan Online, and the balancing of items is being revised.
  • Crafting is no longer as important. There are no more crafting levels, and you won’t find recipes as often.
  • The story has been expanded with Act 6.
  • The UI should now be more comfortable.

von Benedict Grothaus

Why were these changes made? As can be seen from the ratings on Steam, the hack ‘n slash Pagan Online has not been very well received so far.

In the past 30 days, the rating of Pagan Online on Steam has been 58 percent and “Mixed”.

Especially the previously weak character development and lack of loot were criticized. The balancing also did not go over well. And these are exactly the issues that the developers are now addressing with the major patch.

Good changes, but a surprising wipe

What do the players think of the update? The wipe took the players by surprise. Many are upset that their entire game progress is gone and they now have to start over. And this, even though it was actually said that there would be no wipes.

The developers have already apologized for this and are giving every player as compensation the opportunity to play all heroes from the beginning without having to unlock them. Additionally, each character receives a Hero Souls and 150 Shards of in-game currency.

Overall, the changes are well-received because they address exactly the things that players have criticized about the gameplay. For many, Pagan Online is developing in the right direction and could become a very good hack ‘n slash with more polish.

Why players should be cautious: The developers have announced that this BFP is just the first one. More of these large updates are to follow. Therefore, it is quite possible that there will be wipes again.

WoW: How to level your bodyguards in Nazjatar faster

Leveling the bodyguards in Nazjatar takes a lot of time, but is important in World of Warcraft. We will tell you how to do it much faster.

In Nazjatar there’s plenty to do and some tasks take a lot of time. Every player can choose three bodyguards who will accompany them every step of the way. Leveling these bodyguards is part of many achievements and is also required for mounts or an essence of the Heart of Azeroth.

The problem: Anyone who levels their bodyguards solely through the daily missions will need exactly 90 days, during which they must complete all quests – so almost 3 months. However, this time can be reduced, sometimes even drastically. We’ll reveal to you which tricks you can use to level your bodyguards a bit faster.

In Nazjatar, a lot of time is needed to level the bodyguards. However, this can be significantly shortened.

Guide: Leveling followers in Nazjatar quickly

The trick is that there are several items in Nazjatar that you can give to your bodyguards. Then either a specific or all bodyguards receive a small amount of experience points. Some of these items can only be obtained once a week, while others can be farmed endlessly, thereby completing the leveling in a shorter time with enough effort.

Unusual items: There are several unusual (green) items that have a low drop chance. These items can be farmed infinitely, but it can take a while.

  • Eel fillet: Can be dropped by any eel and snake creatures in Nazjatar. It increases the experience of Vim (Horde) or Ori (Alliance) by 50.
  • Deep ray wings: Dropped by all rays. It increases the experience of Neri (Horde) or Akana (Alliance) by 50.
  • Giant crab leg: All crabs in Nazjatar have a chance to drop their leg. It increases the experience of Poen (Horde) or Inowari (Alliance) by 50.
  • Reef wanderer bark: The reef wanderer bark has a slightly greater benefit as it provides more overall experience. It can be dropped by any reef wanderer and increases the experience of all bodyguards by 20 (a total of 60).
The rare reef wanderers are a particularly good source. They can drop two of the items!

Rare items: In addition to the unusual items, there are also the rare (blue) items. These are significantly rarer and harder to obtain, but have a much stronger benefit.

  • Ancient reef wanderer bark: This item can be exchanged to grant 100 experience for all 3 bodyguards (a total of 300). It can be dropped by the 4 different rare reef wanderers. How to summon them, we revealed here. However, this item can only be dropped once a week on your character.
  • Naga orders: You can obtain the Naga orders multiple times per week if you’re lucky. They can rarely be contained in the chests you can discover with the Seer stone (a drop from rare enemies). They give all bodyguards a significant experience boost of 150 points (a total of 450).
    Alternatively, this item can sometimes be bought from the Murloc Mrrl if you wear a benthic cloak that reveals his additional offerings.
The Seer stone allows the character to discover chests. They usually contain junk, but sometimes good stuff.

Epic items: Finally, there is one item that falls into the epic (purple) quality tier. But don’t be fooled by the rarity, it is weaker than the blue options.

  • Unusually wise hermit crab: This crab is sometimes sold in the regular offer by the Murloc Mrrl at the respective camp of the Alliance or Horde. It grants 75 experience points to a targeted bodyguard when used. So you can choose whom you want to give it to.

What’s the point? Leveling the bodyguards is a requirement for some content and achievements. For example, you must have provided the bodyguards with a total value of 3,000 experience points to complete the main quest line in Nazjatar.

Once Neri (Horde) or Akana (Alliance) reach level 20, you will also receive a mount as a gift – a cool snap dragon. The other companions give pets or toys. Finally, leveling the bodyguards is necessary to earn many achievements. This includes the meta achievement for Nazjatar, which is rewarded with a riding crab!

We hope you have good luck farming and leveling your companions quickly. How far have you leveled your bodyguards? Or do you just leave them alone?

Epic Games is giving away one of the best action RPGs in the Diablo style for free

Want to experience an exciting hack ‘n slash in the style of Diablo? If you have an account for the Epic Games Store, you can now download the first part of Torchlight for free.

What is Torchlight? Runic Games released this action RPG in 2009, in which you explore the caves and labyrinths beneath the mining town of Torchlight with your hero.

While mining for the crucial mineral Emberstone, the workers awakened monsters in the caves that now threaten to overrun Torchlight. Therefore, the expertise of a hero is required to handle this problem.

A Free Diablo Light

How does Torchlight play? Part 1 of the hack ‘n slash series is a single-player RPG. You create a hero from several classes and battle through the mine levels similarly to Diablo. The classes you can choose are:

  • Melee Fighter (Destroyer)
  • Ranged Fighter/Thief (Vanquisher)
  • Mage (Alchemist)

As is common in many hack ‘n slashes, you collect a lot of loot during your adventures to acquire ever more powerful weapons and armor. Furthermore, you enhance your hero, who will gradually employ more potent skills.

The developers of Torchlight consist of former Blizzard employees like Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and Peter Hu. Experience in the hack ‘n slash genre was thus present during the production of the game.

Here’s How to Get Torchlight for Free

How do you get the game? The game is now available for free for a week via the Epic Games Store.

  • Create an account with Epic Games if you don’t have one yet
  • Log in to your account on the website
  • Visit the Torchlight store page
  • Click on the button “Free” there
  • Now you need to click “Place Order” in the new window that opens
  • This will add Torchlight to your account, and you can download and play it via the Epic Games Store Launcher
Torchlight 1 Screenshot
The hack ‘n slash Torchlight is currently available for free on the Epic Games Store.

The Start of an Interesting Series

How is the game received? The ratings of the hack ‘n slash on Steam have been at 97% and “very positive” in the past 30 days. The fluid gameplay, fast-paced combat, and treasure hunting are particularly praised.

Many call it a “Diablo Lite” because it has only three classes and no multiplayer, and because the story is not as deep. Nevertheless, it is considered one of the best action RPGs.

Here’s why you should play it: On September 3rd, Torchlight 2 will be released for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. With the free first part, you can get in the mood.

Moreover, the next installment of the series, Torchlight Frontiers, is currently in development, which this time will be an MMORPG. Torchlight 1 thus introduces you to the universe, and perhaps you’ll be tempted to play the subsequent parts as well. Additionally, you can use this to shorten the waiting time for Diablo 4.

Twitch streamer proudly exploits glitch in Teamfight Tactics – faces criticism

In Teamfight Tactics, there is currently a popular exploit where one can prematurely enter the carousel at the start of a game. This has recently been proudly utilized by Twitch streamer Pokimane, for which she is now facing a lot of criticism.

What did the streamer do? Imane Anys, known by her stage name “Pokimane”, was a guest on Twitch streamer Scarra’s channel, who had already had some fun experiences with TFT during livestreams. He was supposed to coach Pokimane while playing Teamfight Tactics and give her some tips.

At the beginning of her first round, however, she utilizes a trick to get directly inside the carousel and choose her desired champion before anyone else.

Pokimane is apparently very excited about her action and proud that she managed the trick again. Scarra comments that she should coach him instead, as he does not know the trick.

However, users in the Twitch chat and Reddit are less enthusiastic about the action and are strongly criticizing the streamer now.

I hope you won’t complain when the ban comes

What are the viewers criticizing? Many viewers and readers on Reddit are criticizing Pokimane’s unsportsmanlike behavior and calling her a cheater. It is not cool to exploit a bug and punish others for playing by the rules.

The Reddit user Crunchsmash says:

That’s so dumb. I’ll be right back, just quickly cleaning out your house until you remember to lock the door.

Reddit user Greindes, on the other hand, advises Pokimane not to complain later if she gets banned for such actions.

But not all users are against the streamer. The top comment on Reddit even supports her behavior.

LoL Darius Dreadnova

In the beta, mistakes can happen and should be exposed

Why don’t players find exploiting that bad? Reddit user Shahar333 wrote about the Twitch clip of Pokimane:

In my opinion, bugs should be exploited until the company fixes them. Of course, one can sit there and say: “Don’t exploit the bugs, that’s cheating”.

At the end of the day, in a competitive environment, players will use all resources to win.

The comment received over 365 upvotes and is currently the top comment on Reddit. Other players also support the streamer’s behavior.

Teamfight Tactics is still in beta. And the faster bugs are found in a beta, the sooner they will be fixed, say several players.

With the upcoming ranked mode, the mood regarding such behavior could change. When it comes to placements, players become noticeably more sensitive.

Besides the ranked mode, currently 4-star champions are being tested on the PBE:

Why Sunday is the perfect day to collect a lot of XP in Pokémon GO

This Sunday, you can level up quickly in Pokémon GO. We will tell you what you need to consider.

Why is it so fast? On Sunday, the Entei Day in Pokémon GO will take place, and you have the opportunity to do many raids in 3 hours.

This also affects your experience points, as you earn double XP in the raids.

How to level up quickly on Sunday

How much XP can you achieve? A legendary raid brings 20,000 XP on Sunday. If you use a Lucky Egg, you will even get 40,000 XP.

Pokémon GO Taubsi Raupy Hornliu Erfahrung
On Sunday, you can earn a lot of experience points

If you calculate these numbers for the raids, you get a considerable amount of experience points. Here’s what you can achieve:

  • For 20 raids: 800,000 XP
  • For 30 raids: 1.2 million XP

You can earn over 1 million XP in just one day through raiding. If you play in a slightly larger city, you can easily manage 30 raids without too much stress.

So you can get even more XP: Friendships can be ideally leveled up on such days. So if you have friends who are close to leveling up, agree to level up on Sunday. Everyone will be using a Lucky Egg anyway, and the XP can only rain down.

Friendship
Let friendships level up on Sunday

Additionally, when catching Pokémon, you get three times the amount of XP. If you catch a Pokémon with the first ball using a great curveball, you will get over 600 XP. With a Lucky Egg, it’s even over 1200 XP. If you catch 100 Pokémon like this, you’ll earn well over 100,000 XP. This is particularly noticeable at low levels.

Why is this day particularly worthwhile? The bonuses are already active and will last until July 16. So you can already start collecting massive XP now.

Sunday is even more worthwhile because for 3 hours you can find raids everywhere. This opportunity occurs very rarely. From raids, you can quickly gain a lot of XP, so you should take advantage of this raid day.

Pokemon GO Entei Title
The fight against Entei grants you 40,000 XP

If you play wisely and perhaps also do some Mewtwo Raids before Entei starts at 4 PM, you could easily earn over 2 million XP on that day.
