Destiny 2: Update 2.5.1.1 / 1.37 is live – Patch notes and all information

Sven Galitzki 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 was released today, on July 9th, for all platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC) the new update 2.5.1.1. Here’s everything you need to know about the maintenance work, server downtime, and the patch notes.

Today, some fresh content from the Season 7 is starting in Destiny 2. But before you can get started, there’s a new update. The patch is now live and can be downloaded. On PS4, the update has version number 1.37 and is approximately 380 MB in size.

What changes with update 2.5.1.1 / 1.37 in Destiny 2?

Bungie hasn’t revealed much about this yet. What is known so far is the following:

Some Guardians speculate that for example the overpowered exotic shotgun “Lord of Wolves” could be adjusted today or that Bungie might address the incompatibility of Destiny 2 with the new Ryzen 3000 processors on PC.

A complete list of all changes will likely only be available with the patch notes sometime later today.

Destiny 2: All about maintenance, downtimes and server downtime on July 9th.

Bungie is evidently not fully out of holiday mode after July 4th, as the studio has only recently released the schedule for today’s maintenance. Previously, there were only some brief updates on Twitter.

Now the exact schedule is finally known. The new Destiny update today will be accompanied by maintenance work. There will also be a brief server downtime.

This is what we know about the maintenance on July 9th:

The maintenance work is set to begin at 6:00 PM German time.
At 6:45 PM, all Guardians will be removed from their activities and will no longer be able to log in. The servers will go offline.
At 7:00 PM, the servers will be brought back online, if everything goes according to plan. The update 2.5.1.1 will then be rolled out on all platforms. After downloading the update, you should be able to play again, even if there may still be login issues.
By 9:00 PM, the maintenance work should be completely finished.

Patch notes for update 2.5.1.1 / 1.37 for Destiny 2

The official German patch notes for the new Destiny 2 update are not yet available. These will likely be released by Bungie later tonight (July 9th). Until then, we have linked the original English change log for you:

Razer wants to tie Twitch streamers to its brand with quests and hardware

Jürgen Horn 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The hardware manufacturer Razer aims to support emerging streamers on Twitch. Streamers can sign up for the new program #RazerStreamer and receive quests to earn free hardware or fame.

What is RazerStreamer? Razer is primarily known for its colorful gaming hardware and crazy toasters. But starting today, July 9, 2019, Razer also wants to make a name for itself as a supporter of streamers on Twitch. With the #RazerStreamer program, newcomers in the streaming field are to be supported.

To this end, Razer offers both discounts on hardware and support mediation. Additionally, there are quests for dedicated streamers. But there is also a catch: what does Razer gain from this?

What does RazerStreamer bring for streamers? If a streamer participates in RazerStreamer, Razer advertises with these benefits:

Discounts on Razer hardware, for example the Kraken headset
The opportunity to participate in the Razer affiliate program and thus earn a commission when fans purchase Razer hardware
The chance to be featured as a streamer on the Razer Live page
The first 500 participants each month also receive a free membership for 30 days in the professional streamer community Pipeline.

There is also the possibility to qualify for the bonus program RazerQuest.

von Norman Wittkopf

Quests for streamers with hardware as rewards

What is RazerQuest? This program is a bonus for dedicated streamers. Each month there are selected challenges, such as “Show the best kill in Apex Legends”.

For this, there are tangible prizes like free hardware, vouchers, or rewards.

In addition, particularly impressive actions are recorded on Razer Live and the Spotlight page “Streamer of the Month”. This is meant to help streamers gain more attention.

Through Razer quests, the “gamification” – that is, imparting achievements through game-like elements – is intended to motivate a streamer to achieve greater performance and progress.

How can one participate? Participation in RazerStreamer is free and takes place on the official RazerStreamer page.

The use of Razer hardware is not mandatory, so one can continue using hardware from other providers. However, for participation in RazerQuests, it is required to use at least one Razer device.

Are there any costs? Participation in RazerStreamer is supposed to be free. You can also stop at any time and are not permanently bound to Razer by a contract.

What does Razer gain from this?

The benefits of the streaming program sound quite promising. You get a starting boost, rewards, and attention as a streamer. But what does Razer gain from this?

The hardware manufacturer is not doing this out of sheer goodwill. Because even if one is not tightly bound to Razer, participating in the program signals to followers that one stands behind Razer and promotes their products.

Through the participants, Razer receives a lot of attention and essentially free advertising. Especially by unlocking goodies through Razer quests, which might then be given away to followers, Razer gains additional attention and potentially ties itself and the followers closer to Razer than one originally intended.

This need not be a bad thing and could potentially be a win/win situation. However, every streamer should consider how closely they want to work with established brands like Razer and others at the start of their career.

If you are closely involved with Razer, you should not make the mistake of this streamer.

35 seconds leave tanks in The Division 2 hoping they will finally be useful

Schuhmann 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division 2 a clip is circulating from the test server that shows shields now absorb considerable damage and even deal damage themselves when the right build is played. Will tanks become playable with Title Update 5?

This is the clip: The clip on reddit shows approximately 35 seconds of a player with a shield withstanding fire from a heavily armed elite enemy. The agent’s shield absorbs the machine gun hits while the player shoots at the enemy with a pistol.

Because the player is using a “Deflector Shield,” the enemy inflicts damage on itself.

This is how players react: They seem positively surprised at first. One player is already fantasizing about how they will build a pistol “Liberty” to become a tank.

Other players make fun of the enemy:

“What an idiot, he’s killing himself.”
“Stop hitting yourself.”

The Division 2 explains why no one plays Tanks and how they want to change that

von Schuhmann

Mod now reflects 100% more damage instead of 20% more

What’s behind the clip? The shield skills in The Division 2 are designed for defensively playing players, for the tanks. But until now, they have not been a viable option.

Those playing as a tank in The Division 2 felt: “I deal less damage and can withstand a few more shots, but then I’m dead without having done anything first.”

Until now, it has not been a sensible decision to play as a tank, as Massive itself has admitted. But this should change with the current Update 5 that is on the PTS.

This is the aim of the new update: Update 5 should make not only DPS builds but also skill builds and tank builds useful.

Until now, Massive has mainly talked about the skill builds. However, the shields have also been significantly overhauled. A tank typically plays with a ballistic shield in The Division 2, which is further refined through mods:

The bonuses increased here for many skill mods from around 20% directly to 100%. This is also true for the mod “Thermoresponsive Polymer,” where now 100% more damage is reflected instead of the previous 20%. This is noticeable in the game itself.

One can be curious whether the build variety will really increase as much as it seems. At the moment, Title Update 5 looks really good and is getting more attractive with news to news.

Whoever wants the new Fortnite skin must buy stuff for the PS4

Noah Struthoff 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite there is a new skin that you can get by purchasing products for the PS4. So you have to dig deep into your pockets to get the Neo Versa skin.

What kind of skin is this? This is a new variant of the Versa skins. The Neo Versa skin is basically the blue variant of the outfit and can only be obtained when you purchase a PlayStation 4 or accessories.

In total, there are 5 different bundles that you can purchase. The skin is included in all of them along with some additional goodies.

How to get the Neo Versa Skin in Fortnite

What bundles are available? You can get the skin in 5 different ways. We present the bundles to you:

Bundle with a PlayStation 4, one controller, the Neo Versa skin, and 2000 V-Bucks
Bundle with a PlayStation 4, two controllers, the Neo Versa skin, and 2000 V-Bucks
Bundle with a PlayStation 4 Pro, one controller, the Neo Versa skin, and 2000 V-Bucks
Bundle with a PS4 controller, the Neo Versa skin, and 500 V-Bucks
Bundle with a wireless headset for the PS4, the Neo Versa skin, and 2000 V-Bucks

What does this mean for the skin? The prices for the bundles are not yet known, but the sets will probably cost significantly more than the usual 10 euros for a normal skin.

The cheapest bundle is likely to be the one with the controller. Comparable offers were around 75 euros. So the Neo Versa skin will indeed be a very expensive skin and therefore also rare.

It is not the first time that Epic goes into such collaborations and distributes skins this way. For instance, there were skins for the purchase of special phones or an Xbox. PlayStation players could also secure a special skin by buying a PS4.

When will the outfit be available? The bundles are expected to be released later this month. However, there is no exact date yet.

What do you think of the skin? Would you spend that much money for it?

Smurfs ruin the fun in Overwatch, players demand a change at last

Cortyn 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Overwatch has been plagued by a problem for years. Smurfs ruin the gaming experience for both sides.

Anyone who plays in ranked mode in Overwatch and is placed in Silver, Gold, or Platinum experiences a shocking surprise every few matches. Again and again, you suddenly encounter one or more players who can handle Genji incredibly well, who distribute headshots with Widowmaker in split seconds, or who can obliterate entire teams with Hanzo.

If you then look at the playtime of these players, you rub your eyes in disbelief. Often they have only a few hours with the respective character.

This leads to the thought: This is a Smurf. And it is precisely these Smurf accounts that greatly disturb the players of Overwatch.

What is a Smurf? A Smurf (translated as “Schlumpf”) is a player’s second account. Typically, this player is quite good and has a high skill rating, so they are placed in the higher ranks.

With a Smurf account, they can then “start anew” and compete against players who are significantly below their skill level. Thus, an experienced player often decides matches alone.

What’s wrong with Smurfs? Smurfs ruin the gaming experience for all other players. In most cases, Smurfs are significantly better than all the other players in the match, causing them to feel hopelessly outmatched.

While the Smurf feels like they are mercilessly dominating everyone else, the other 11 players feel that they can’t do anything at all. That’s frustrating.

overwatch-widowmaker-facestep — Getting stomped into the ground by Widowmaker – most find this quite unenjoyable. Well, most.

Why are there so many Smurfs in Overwatch? In Overwatch, it’s particularly easy to create a Smurf account. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it’s even free, so many players have ten or more accounts. However, on PC, one has to buy a new Overwatch version each time.

Another issue is the low entry barrier. To participate in ranked games, you only need an account level of 25. This can be achieved in just a few hours and poses little barrier for experienced players (who want to smurf).

In order for Smurfs not to rise back into their “actual” play area, they often team up to collectively lose some matches. This way, they can stay in a skill range that does not correspond to their actual strength.

This is what fans demand: On Reddit, players demand that Blizzard takes action against Smurf accounts. If there are no penalties for this, then at least the required account level should be significantly raised.

Instead of 25, players wish for a raise to 50 or even 75. A corresponding suggestion has received nearly 8,000 upvotes. Then Smurfs would have to invest significantly more time and might be deterred.

How rich is the richest player in Path of Exile in €?

Benedict Grothaus 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A player posted his latest personal achievement in Path of Exile . He shows his inventory and his collection. It turns out: He is probably the currently richest player in the game when it comes to his items.

This is how much money the player has: The player and Reddit user Angelsergiuboy posted a screenshot of his inventory with 100 “Mirror of Kalandra”. He is the first player to document owning so many copies of the item.

The mirror is currently the rarest and most valuable item in the game. On some pages, its value is estimated to be around €165. With his number of mirrors, the player would have €16,500 available if he were to sell them.

That is enough to buy a brand new VW Polo directly from the manufacturer (approx. €14,300) or to go to the cinema about 800 times.

What makes the mirrors so valuable? The mirrors have a special property. They can duplicate any non-unique and non-corrupted item. They are also a thousand times rarer than “Exalted Orbs”, which is why many players may spend hundreds of hours without finding a single mirror.

This is the catch

Is his inventory really worth that much? The price that the mirrors are worth fluctuates and depends on which offer is used as a basis. Additionally, Angelsergiuboy possesses his collection of 100 mirrors in the Standard league.

In this league, all league characters end up after the season and all hardcore characters after their death. The economy here is rather uninteresting for many high-end players who might be interested in the mirrors. They focus more on the current league.

However, he can exchange his mirrors on the official trading site for other valuable items that might bring him even more.

Can he exchange that for real money? Trading with real money is prohibited in Path of Exile. Therefore, even if he finds a buyer in the league, Angelsergiuboy would still have a problem getting the money.

However, it remains a great achievement to acquire so many copies of the rarest item that many do not even get to see. His next goal is now a full stack of 144 mirrors.

Fortnite: Fortbyte #34 – Search between a fork and a knife

Jürgen Horn 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is now the Fortbyte #34. It can be found between a fork and a knife . How and where you can find it, you will learn here.

Where is the Fortbyte? Fortbyte number 34 can be found according to the game text when you “search between a fork and a knife”. Anyone who knows Fortnite knows that this is not just a popular pun but also describes a specific point. It is located here on the map at the coordinates F8.

Get the Fortbyte number 34 at the location between the fork and the knife

Here’s how you can pick up the Fortbyte: The byte is located right on the grassy area between the indentations in the shape of a fork and a knife. You don’t need any special preparations to collect it.

But be careful, because as always there are unfriendly fellows around who won’t let you get the byte. Instead, they lie in wait for cheap kills and shoot you from behind while you search for the byte. So watch out!

Is there also a video? In the embedded video from the YouTuber WohltatTV you can also find the byte. Have fun!

https://youtu.be/yXdVXjLgq9I

What are Fortbytes anyway and how do you collect them all? The mysterious Fortbytes are microchips that act as virtual puzzle pieces. At the end, they form a still-secret bonus image. If you have 90 of them, you can unlock the special skin for Season 9.

We have compiled an overview of all Fortbytes so far for you:

In Elite Dangerous, 13,615 pilots set out on the journey – Only 3,747 arrived

Alexander Leitsch 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

On January 13, over 13,000 pilots set off on a journey through the universe in the MMO Elite Dangerous (PC, PS4, Xbox One). The goal of this event was Beagle Point, but only a few of the pilots would reach this location.

What kind of event was this? The community of Elite Dangerous continuously sets itself special challenges. One of these projects was called Distant Worlds and took players to the planet Beagle Point in 2016, one of the most distant locations in the game.

In 2019, players wanted to repeat the journey and set off together again. This time, however, the event was planned to be even larger. Joint actions were planned along the way, and even the developers participated.

A total of 13,615 players signed up for Distant Worlds II. The pilots wanted to experience the journey together.

Overwhelming majority traveled on PC, few used PS4 or Xbox One

How many players reached the destination? In a forum post, player Qohen Leth published statistics about the event. Among the statistics, there is also the number of players who reached Beagle Point:

In the end, only 3,747 pilots fully experienced the event. The others were lost along the way.

Nevertheless, the players traveled a total of 1,118,000,000 light-years, mostly from PC. Only about 1,500 players used PS4 or Xbox. Together, they played something more than 18 years of Elite Dangerous.

Dangerous systems and long distances take their toll

What caused more than 9,000 players to fail? From the starting system Sol, over 65,000 light-years had to be covered to reach Beagle Point.

The organizers of the event planned for a travel speed of 5,000 light-years per week. This meant players had to plan at least 3 hours of playtime per week.

But it wasn’t just playtime that took its toll. Due to various dangers in the game world, travelers lost their ships or ran out of fuel.

Elite Dangerous: Player was stranded in space for months, now he is home

von Andreas Bertits

What dangers lurk in Elite Dangerous? Even small things like the strong gravitational pull of a planet can bring an end to the journey. This reportedly happened quite early in the journey at the solar system “The View”.

There, ships crashed onto the planet and could not start again or even exploded when trying to leave.

However, pirates, asteroids, and other dangers also lurk in the game.

Although players can respawn at a final station, they often lost connection to the event.

Too many players for the servers? But it wasn’t just the players who had problems on their journey. Right at the start of the event, the servers crashed, even though the space explorers started in three separate waves.

Despite the adversities, many players made it to the destination. With the exception of the Federal Dropship, every ship type even reached Beagle Point. A good result for the event organizers.

Elite Dangerous received an update in April that made it easier to get into the MMO:

This error is really annoying to the players of WoW

Cortyn 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Players of World of Warcraft are complaining about a particularly annoying problem. Fights last forever – even when there are no enemies left.

Anyone spending their days in the new areas of World of Warcraft, Mechagon and Nazjatar, has surely encountered one or the other annoying bug. Players are particularly disturbed that fights seem to have no end. The character simply remains “in combat” permanently. This severely restricts progress.

What is the problem? In Nazjatar and Mechagon, players often struggle with not being able to “get out of combat.” This means they cannot mount their ride. Logging out of the game in the usual way is also not possible.

What are players fighting against? This is the big mystery. The question “What the hell am I fighting?” garnered a lot of sympathizers in the World of Warcraft subreddit. 96% of users agreed, quickly giving the article over 5,500 upvotes. The highest-rated response was: “Nazjatar. With all of Nazjatar.”

And that seems to be correct in some cases. Nazjatar has some “enemies” that are hardly identifiable as such. There are magical summoning orbs all over the place that fire area effects at nearby players.

Once they hit the player, the character goes into combat – and often cannot escape from it. Since the orbs cannot be destroyed, ending the fight is only possible by running several hundred meters away.

In another spot, players are often in combat with creatures they can barely notice. Since Nazjatar is full of “critter,” i.e. small animals, players often aggro them due to various effects. When such a mini-crab, which is only a few pixels big, hits the character, it’s hardly noticeable.

Equally problematic are enemies that are scripted to fight another enemy, such as dueling naga or crabs fighting each other. If you somehow get these enemies into a fight but do not generate enough aggro, the two enemies simply continue to battle each other. Figuring out who the character is actually fighting is not that easy.

You have decided: Is WoW Patch 8.2 a Hit or a Flop?

von Cortyn

Lastly, there are of course a number of “bugged” enemies that are stuck in the ground. They try to attack the player but can never reach them. This is particularly frustrating when it involves enemies in stealth. Spotting them is virtually impossible.

How do players solve the problem? To finally get out of combat, there are some methods that work better for certain characters than others.

Rogues use “Vanish” to escape combat.
Night Elves use their racial ability Shadowmeld.
Mages activate their Invisibility.

However, most characters cannot rely on such effects. Those who simply cannot get out of combat often resort to more drastic measures:

One uses their Hearthstone to change areas.
One quits the game with Alt+F4 and waits 5 minutes before logging back in.
One lets themselves be killed.

It is to be hoped that Blizzard will implement some hotfixes to address the “permanent combat” issue.

Have you also been suffering from this problem in Nazjatar or Mechagon? Or have you been spared so far? How do you solve this little problem?

Today there is also another important thing in WoW:

Since no one understood the Steam Summer Sale, Valve is giving away 5,000 games

Cortyn 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Steam Summer Sale is ending, but many users are confused and unhappy. As a small compensation, Valve is giving away 5,000 games to participants.

The Steam Summer Sale 2019 did not go as Valve had hoped in many cases. This year’s community game was a race, the Grand Prix.

Players could join one of five teams. However, only a few understood how it all worked. This was particularly frustrating because there was a chance to win a reward for winning the race.

What could players win? If players joined the winning team, then there was a chance that they would receive the first game from their wishlist for free.

Many used this to place “Cyberpunk 2077” at the top of their list.

What was confusing about the race? There were several problems:

Players could “boost” their team by using certain boosts. They earned necessary points by playing specific games from their Steam library and collecting achievements.
They could also slow down other teams with items to gain an advantage.
However, how it all worked was unclear. Clear and understandable rules were lacking.

Nevertheless, “Team Corgi” was particularly successful and won continuously in the first days. Valve even had to adjust things so that Team Corgi wouldn’t dominate so much. In the end, they still won.

Valve apologizes and gives away 5,000 games: Valve apologized for the “unexpected twists” during the race and promises to learn from the criticism for next time and significantly improve the event. They want to communicate the mechanics more clearly.

As compensation, they decided to randomly select 5,000 players who participated in the “Grand Prix” of the Summer Sale 2019. Each will receive one game from their wishlist for free within the next 48 hours.

Are you one of the lucky winners? Did you understand the Grand Prix of the Summer Sale? Or are you also quite dissatisfied with the whole development?

The Summer Sale is still ongoing, by the way. We have some great deals for you:

Behind the whimsical Battle Royale of Fallout 76 lies this dark story

Jürgen Horn 9. July 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fallout 76 there is plenty of lore and background information if you search long and thoroughly. This also applies to the new Vault 51, which appears in the Battle Royale mode Nuclear Winter.

What is Vault 51? This Vault was newly introduced with the new Battle Royale mode Nuclear Winter in Fallout 76. Vault 51 no longer has a supervisor, and therefore the survivors from Vault 76 are supposed to fight it out in a hearty Battle Royale until only one remains and takes control. The mode itself is now so popular, that it will remain permanently after its testing.

What sounds like a fun reason for a light-hearted Battle Royale match, however, has solid lore backgrounds.

Huge Lore about the Battle Royale Vault

This is how Vault 51 is introduced: In a huge video, YouTuber Oxhorn shows what can be discovered about Vault 51 in Fallout 76. Some of this even outside of Battle Royale.

He first learns something about Vault 51 by opening two mysterious crates and shortly thereafter finds the body of the supervisor from Vault 51. On it is written:

Distract him (done)
Jump into the other crate (done)
Pray to God that I survive (done)
Find someone from 76 (done)
Kill ZAX

The note about ZAX was found earlier – but it was assumed that it was a reference to Fallout 3. However, Oxhorn finds even more information about Vault 51.

In the Vault register at Vaultec University, he discovers a recently unlocked entry about Vault 51. It states that Vault 51 aims to see how tribal behavior of humans develops without “something” while being guided by an experimental “something”.

Apparently, ZAX is now in Vault 51 and is a rogue that the supervisor wanted to eliminate – but can no longer do so. Instead, players now amusingly compete in ZAX’s murderous Battle Royale to become the supervisor themselves…

His story turns into a treasure hunt through the entire wasteland. Those who do not want to experience everything themselves can watch it here in a video by YouTuber Oxhorn. He has researched and explored everything and then uploaded a 90-minute mammoth video on YouTube.

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

How Players React

What do the fans say? Oxhorn’s video is well-received by fans. On the one hand, it contains according to many players an excellent story revolving around the fate of the mysterious Vault 51. Especially the uncovering of secrets from the records of the past is what attracts many fans in every Fallout game.

Furthermore, the evil AI ZAX is a classic villain for many Fallout fans that repeatedly appears in the Fallout series. Its reappearance in Fallout 76 is gladly welcomed.

Others praise that this way they can finally learn everything and do not have to wander through the game world for hours or unlock many levels in Battle Royale. However, the latter frustrates some players who would have liked an alternative method to the Battle Royale grind to directly experience the lore of Vault 51 in the game.

What do you think of the story of Vault 51? Have you figured it out in the game or is this video enough for you?

It is probably due to chance that all this can even be discovered. Because Fallout 76 was originally not supposed to have a Battle Royale mode.

Drug dealer arrested for playing Pokémon GO at 2 AM

Schuhmann 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

An alleged drug dealer in Florida was caught because he played Pokémon GO at night.

This caught the man’s attention: A 29-year-old from Florida was spotted at 2 a.m. in Beacon Meadows Park. This is a park in Tampa, Florida, which is only open between sunrise and sunset.

That someone goes out hunting for Pokémon at night isn’t really a serious crime but notable because the park is supposed to be closed at 2 a.m.

The police officer, Deputy Eneida Rossi, was patrolling the park at night. She noticed the man hunting for Pokémon and approached him. The 29-year-old wasn’t just playing Pokémon GO at 2 a.m., but open marijuana was also visible.

Drug Find — This is what the police found. Source: Facebook of the Sheriff’s Office in Hillsborough County

This is what the police found: When the officer saw the marijuana, she then searched the man’s car. There she found:

3.5 grams of cocaine
one pound of marijuana
over 5 pounds of THC oil

In the end, they praised their deputy with “Nice catch!” And said she probably earned more combat points and won the battle.

The reference is clear: Just as the excited trainer must catch all Pokémon, the police are there to catch all criminals.

In the USA, the media is poking fun at the case. “Florida men” have a certain reputation for getting into absurd situations.

A drug dealer caught because of Pokémon Go seems to fit the bill.

In Pokémon GO here, we might soon encounter villains:

Fortnite: Update 9.30 brings controversial airstrike – Patch notes in English

Jürgen Horn 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

To Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android) has received another small content update with Patch 9.30. The patch introduces a new explosive item that not all players seem to appreciate. We take a look at the Fortnite Patch Notes in English.

This is included in the new update for Patch 9.30: The 3rd update for Patch 9.30 is here. As before, the update is rather small, but it brings a new item to PvP that should be impactful.

However, there are also new items for PvE fans.

The features of the 3rd update for Patch 9.30 in PvP

New item – Air Strike: This is a grenade that calls down a hail of 20 rockets in a 9-meter radius. The rockets deal 75 damage per hit to players and 200(!) to buildings.

Therefore, builders are likely to have some trouble. Fortunately, the item is very rare and can only be found in a legendary version.

The weapon can be found on the ground, in chests, llamas, and supply drops, as well as available from vending machines.

Many players were already dissatisfied with the idea of another explosive weapon making its way to Fortnite. It will be interesting to see how the community will accept the new item in the long term.

These are the new limited-time modes in Fortnite (LTM)

High Explosives (Teams): Only explosive weapons

What changes in Creative mode: In Creative mode, there are now more cars available to place.

The patch highlights from the update for Patch 9.30 in PvE

New MMO launches in Germany in 2019 – Considered the most expensive Korean MMO of all time

Jürgen Horn 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Kingdom Under Fire (PC) is considered the most expensive Korean MMO, and for years a release in the West has been hinted at. But now it seems to finally be happening, and there is a Western publisher that wants to bring the game to Europe and North America in 2019 – this means Kingdom Under Fire 2 is also coming to Germany after so many years.

What is Kingdom Under Fire 2? The already announced Kingdom Under Fire 2 in 2008 is a mix of an MMO and a real-time strategy game. Similar to the recently released Conqueror’s Blade, you control not only your character but also an army of soldiers on the battlefield.

In Kingdom Under Fire 2, three factions fight for dominance in the land of Bersia. There is the Alliance of Humans, the Dark Legion, and the Encablossians. You can choose your character from several hero classes, customize it according to your preferences, and then command large armies in battle.

The game is considered the most expensive Korean MMO of all time. The costs are said to have exceeded 70 million euros in 2018 according to the Asian site Gnn.

Finally, the Western release via Gameforge

When will the game be available here? After the game has been repeatedly announced for a Western release by the Korean developer Blueside and then postponed again, it now seems to be finally moving forward.

It appears that a publisher has been found with Gameforge that will distribute the game here. Gameforge has already been involved with several Asia MMOs like TERA, AION, and SoulWorker, making them a suitable publisher for Kingdom Under Fire 2.

According to a press release from Gameforge, the Western release of Kingdom Under Fire 2 is set to start at the end of 2019. Currently, only a PC version is mentioned.

The developers originally announced that the game would also be brought to Europe for the PlayStation 4.

What is the story behind the release of the game? Due to the constant announcements and delays Kingdom Under Fire 2 was considered lost. It was only occasionally reported on at gaming fairs. Until recently, hardly anyone believed in a Western release.

Fun Fact: Already in 2014, Kingdom Under Fire 2 was highly praised by the streamer AngryJoe at the then E3 and was considered his highlight.

Will he still think it’s so great 5 years later?

How long will the downtime be? Here we have good news, because just like before, it is not necessary to take the servers offline for the patch. The update will be applied live to the servers without maintenance time or downtime.

Is an airstrike grenade coming?

What could be in the patch? Curiously, nothing has been revealed in the announcements about the planned contents of the update. Is it just a pure service patch that only fixes bugs and improves performance?

Leaks from the community contradict this, reporting on a planned item that works like a grenade. But instead of exploding itself, it would call in an airstrike, bombarding the area with an aerial assault.

This aligns with Epic’s announcement in the tweet, which promotes “get ready for an explosive time.” So a new, explosive item could indeed be coming. However, it could also just be a game mode where more explosive items are available.

How fans are reacting: The idea that Fortnite might get another explosive item isn’t being well received by all players. Some fans have complained in the Twitter post that the game doesn’t need another such item.

Others, however, are excited to blow up their opponents even more. Especially in the squad mode, such an item could create even more fun chaos.

We will know more when the patch arrives at 14:00. The patch notes will follow as soon as possible in another post.

What does the future hold for Pokémon GO in the coming years? – Niantic revealed this to us

Noah Struthoff 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The next few years will bring a lot in Pokémon GO! In conversation with two game designers from Niantic, we gained insight into their future plans.

As part of the GO Fest, we at MeinMMO conducted an interview with Laura Warner and Matt Ein, two game designers from Niantic. We asked them various questions about the game and received some interesting answers.

Among other things, we asked them what the plan looks like for the next few years and what to expect from Pokémon GO in 2019.

What will happen to Pokémon GO in the coming years?

What Niantic revealed for 2019: We asked the two game designers if we can expect something big and game-changing in Pokémon GO in 2019. Laura Warner replied that something is planned for 2019, but she cannot go into detail.

This could, for example, refer to the introduction of Team Rocket. Some details have already been found in the game and Niantic itself has teased something at the GO Fest.

However, it could also be something completely different. The fact is that something is coming to Pokémon GO in 2019 that will change the game.

What does the future hold? Some time ago, Niantic mentioned that they will introduce a new game-changing feature every quarter.

This approach will continue, Warner revealed. However, she also added that the schedule may not always adhere to the quarterly plan, as larger features can take longer, while smaller features may be implemented more quickly.

What does the future of Pokémon GO look like? The game designers confirmed that they already have a plan for the next few years and are confident that there will still be plenty of innovations coming to the game in 3 years and that the game will remain attractive.

What does this mean for players? Niantic is far from done with Pokémon GO. We now know that something big is coming in 2019 and features are also planned for the coming years.

The plan for 4 features per year seems to be holding, and roughly, Niantic is sticking to it. It remains to be seen what else the developers have planned for the game in the coming years.

We also asked the two game designers questions about the maximum level:

Fans continue building their favorite MMORPG after developers left it

Andreas Bertits 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG City of Heroes was shut down in 2012. However, secretly some fans continued playing on private servers. When these came to light, the online game regained popularity. The special thing is: The fans are even continuing to develop the MMORPG.

What is City of Heroes? Between 2004 and 2012, players experienced adventures in City of Heroes in the role of superheroes. Anyone could create their own hero and then protect the city from villains. With the expansion City of Villains, it was even possible to play as the foes.

Like a Phoenix from the Ashes

When was City of Heroes discontinued? In December 2012, the doors of the MMORPG closed because, according to NCSoft, it simply was no longer worth it to keep the servers running.

Why is it a topic again? In April, it was revealed that City of Heroes has been running for quite some time. This is on a secret, private server, which only certain players were invited to.

This led to considerable criticism of the operators because they had excluded the majority of the fans.

What is the situation like now? After the criticism, the game data was released, allowing other private servers to be created. This resulted in an active community forming around the MMORPG again.

Currently, there are nine such servers. The largest of them, “Homecoming,” currently hosts around 100,000 registered players across five shards, into which the servers are divided.

The Game is Being Further Developed

Which version is being played? Most of the servers are based on “Issue 24.” This was the version that was in development just before the MMORPG’s end in December 2012. However, Homecoming has now reached “Issue 25.”

Issue 25 is based on expansions, adjustments, and new content being worked on by the operators of the first private server, “SCORE”. This includes the new class of Sentinel, which is based on ideas from the original developers of City of Heroes. As you can see, the game is gradually being further developed by the fans themselves.

Are there “Classic” versions? No. Private servers can only use Issue 24 or higher. According to the operators, the chance of going back is zero.

What do the players fear? The private servers of City of Heroes are currently being operated without NCSoft’s permission. Therefore, there is a risk that the company will demand the shutdown of the servers. Especially Homecoming, with its around 100,000 players, could become the first target. Since the operators accept donations from the players, in May almost 7,000 dollars were raised in just 20 minutes.

So far, however, NCSoft has not reacted.

This is how you can join in: If you want to play City of Heroes on the Homecoming server, you can find an installation guide on the official website and can create an account there.

Dr Disrespect is back and Twitch is still around – He takes a jab at Ninja first

Schuhmann 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect returned to the streaming platform Twitch on July 8 after a ban. However, those expecting an earthquake were disappointed. The stream was a success for Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm, but the big rush did not happen. There was, however, a dig at Ninja.

That was the expectation: The last time Dr Disrespect was away from Twitch for an extended period, he was able to celebrate a massive return that shook Twitch. At that time, he took a break because he was “unfaithful” to his wife.

When he returned to Twitch after a few months away in February 2018, he hit 390,000 viewers at peak. Even Twitch went down for about 10 minutes. Dr Disrespect was the hottest streamer on the platform in 2017, and everything he did made significant waves.

People thought: 2019 would see a similarly gigantic return, with tens of thousands of viewers, new records, and Twitch outages. After all, the E3 controversy surrounding the streamer was big in the media and stretched over weeks.

However, this expectation was disappointed.

von Schuhmann

This is how it really was: As the site Kotaku reports, the first stream after the ban was a success for Dr Disrespect, but not an insane, earth-shattering experience.

The peak number of viewers was around 80,000 while the intro was running, and during the stream it dropped to 40,000. This is higher than the number of viewers the Doctor had before the Twitch ban, but significantly lower than the records from 2018.

Dr Disrespect received numerous donations that went as high as $500. The ban does not seem to have harmed him at all.

The Doctor played PUBG and shared some personal stories. He mentioned that Twitch rejected his new emote. He wanted to immortalize the famous “Doc looks over the toilet” image.

30 Minutes on Stream and More Subs than Ninja

This is the dig the Doctor made: He said live that he had been back on Twitch for just 30 minutes and already had more subs than Ninja.

He also let out quite a crazy laugh. Afterwards, he had to calm the chat down so they wouldn’t flame Ninja.

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has the most followers on the platform with 14 million and often serves as a target for Dr Disrespect’s jokes.

The “subs” are another important currency on Twitch alongside viewer numbers. These are the “hardcore fans” who financially support a streamer by distributing such subscriptions.

After all, a subscription gives the streamer about $3 a month. That is the “steady” income.

Ninja took the dig well. He laughed and said it was not entirely fair since he had hardly done anything on Twitch in the last weeks.

For the future, Dr Disrespect announced more IRL streams. For the moment, he is just happy to be back on Twitch.

Teamfight Tactics: Twitch streamer finds mega combo with Akali, only laughs maniacally

Alexander Leitsch 9. July 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Teamfight Tactics, items play an important role. The strength of the right items on the right champions is demonstrated by Twitch streamer Scarra, who comments on his action with a crazy laugh.

What happened? In a round of the new LoL Auto Chess, Scarra equipped his champion Akali with a full three items, creating a massive spectacle.

His goal was to eliminate three opponents right at the start of the fight and thus secure the match for himself.

Which items did Scarra use for that? The Twitch chat advised him to choose Spatula in the carousel, but he opted for the oversized staff to build another Rabadon’s Deathcap.

Thus, Akali had two Deathcaps and also Luden’s Echo to deal additional area damage. Both occupy good spots in our item tier list.

According to Scarra’s calculations, Akali should now deal 1667 damage with her ability. Did it work?

Did Scarra’s plan work out? In a Twitch clip, the first fight with the fully equipped Akali was recorded. The clip reached over 300,000 views within 12 hours.

There are two main focuses. On one hand, of course, the massive damage that Akali dealt through the items. Scarra calculated correctly, and she dealt 1,666 damage to three champions each.

On the other hand, viewers also enjoyed Scarra’s reaction. He commented on the events with a crazy laugh, which the community celebrated in the chat.

How did the game end for Scarra? Even before the clip started, the streamer only had 7 health points left. In the following round, Akali managed to quickly eliminate three opponents again.

However, there were also opposing champions that could then defeat Akali. That was the end for Scarra. He finished the game in fourth place.

Scarra was able to build many items, which also has to do with luck in the distribution of items. Riot Games wants to improve this with an upcoming patch.

Additionally, the streamer has already experienced some crazy actions in TFT:
