Twitch streamer goes berserk after 1-second action from teammate in LoL

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The popular LoL streamer Trick2G lost it in one of his Twitch streams and slammed his keyboard on the table. One of his teammates annoyed him terribly.

What happened? The LoL player Trick2G recently had a particularly frustrating moment in League of Legends.

He was playing on the top lane, fighting with the opponent and gathering minions. Then the friendly jungler who was waiting in the bush above him came onto the lane, killed a cannon minion with Smite, and went back.

After that, Trick2G lost it, picked up his keyboard, and threw it forcefully onto his desk. In the process, even his webcam was deactivated. A few seconds later, he turned it back on and tossed the keyboard aside again.

Why did he lose it? In this match, Trick2G played Nasus on the top lane. The goal with the character is to kill a lot of minions using the Q-attack. Because when you kill a minion with Q, you strengthen that attack. This can stack. If you collect hundreds of these stacks, you can kill opposing characters with low health in 2 to 3 hits.

The large minions that travel down the lane with cannons give more stacks than “normal small” minions; they are worth 4 times as much. Just such a large minion stood in front of Trick2G in the shown scene. He wanted to kill it to collect lots of gold and stacks for his Q-attack.

Apparently, the streamer assumed that the jungler “Cookie” wanted to help him attack the opposing champion. But then Cookie stole a valuable kill from Trick2G and many stacks for his Q-attack.

This sparked his anger.

LoL Nasus Skin

Before that, the streamer talked to the jungler, who had already been waiting in the bush for seconds. “Hey Cookie, just leave it. I’m playing Nasus, man, don’t worry about me.”

Trick2G plays the character Nasus often. In this game, he collected nearly 1800 stacks with the Q-attack and became powerful because of it.

Wizards Unite: How to effectively use Portkeys and Portmanteaus

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

The Portkey and Portmanteaus are an important part of the game in Wizards Unite. But how do they work and how can you use them effectively?

What are Portmanteaus? You can find these boxes all over the world of Wizards Unite. You need to walk a certain number of kilometers to be able to open the boxes. These boxes are comparable to eggs from Pokémon GO. There are 4 different types of Portmanteaus:

  • Valuable Portmanteau – 2 km
  • Magnificent Portmanteau – 5 km
  • Brilliant Portmanteau – 7 km
  • Superior Portmanteau – 10 km
Wizards Unite Portmanteau

How do I open the boxes? The keys open the Portmanteau for you. There are 2 different types of keys in Wizards Unite:

  • Golden Key – Lasts indefinitely and is automatically in your inventory
  • Silver Key – Lasts for exactly one Portmanteau and can be obtained in different ways

How do I best use the Portmanteau and Portkey?

How do I get the Portmanteaus? The boxes are just lying around like any other item. When you click on the box, it becomes yours. You can carry a total of 8 Portmanteaus.

What’s inside the Portmanteaus? Once you’ve walked the necessary kilometers and had the key in the box, you can open it.

Portkey
If you’ve walked enough kilometers, you will see the Portkey

A magical encounter awaits you there and you must open the box in AR mode.

How do I open the Portmanteau? Insert the golden or silver key into the Portmanteau and start walking. You will receive a notification when you have opened the box. Then go to your inventory and use the Portkey that was in the box.

This will open the AR mode, and you need to look around to see if you see a portal. You must then enter this portal.

Once you are inside, you will see a completely new game world. The game will tell you what to do. For example, you must find magical creatures in this world and tap on them. So look around well.

Here you can see how a Portkey is used

A distinction must be made here: In Wizards Unite, there are two different keys.

  • Once there is the key with which you can open the Portmanteau.
  • Inside the Portmanteau, there is a Portkey. Portkeys are already known from Harry Potter. They allowed wizards to travel to other places in seconds by opening a portal.

What makes the Portmanteaus so special: According to the game, the magical creatures you encounter through the Portkeys can only be found through the Portmanteau. You cannot find them on the street.

How do I get the keys for the boxes? You carry the golden key permanently with you. This is comparable to the infinite incubator in Pokémon GO. You can use the key infinitely for each Portmanteau.

The silver keys last only once and then disappear. However, you can find these keys relatively often. They are available during magical encounters and other activities in the game. If you want to open more Portmanteaus than one at a time, use the silver keys to open additional boxes.

Buy keys
You can also buy silver keys in the shop

You can also buy the keys in the game if you don’t have enough left. According to initial reports, the keys seem to drop quite frequently from encounters. So you should receive enough silver keys just by playing.

How do I use the keys effectively? You should mainly use the golden key on the 2-km Portmanteaus. It is not really worth using a precious silver key here.

You should use the silver keys on the boxes with more kilometers. These keys are more worthwhile here, as the encounters through the Portkey are rarer.

Gears 5 will be released in September, but no real gameplay has been shown yet. Now, the map builder for the cooperative mode Escape has been demonstrated. Additionally, the developers explained how to handle further content for multiplayer.

What do we know about Gears 5? At the E3 2019, Microsoft presented Gears 5. However, no actual gameplay was displayed. Instead, the new cooperative mode Escape was shown, where three players must fight side by side against nasty monsters and escape.

Gears 5 is set to launch on September 10, but so far, no gameplay scenes or significant information about the campaign have been revealed.

Instead, a video of the map builder has now been shown, allowing players to create their own multiplayer maps.

Gears 5 Enemies Cover

What was shown? The video showcases the map builder, which allows players to create their own Escape maps and share them with others. There is a wide selection of rooms that can connect in various ways, along with other variables such as enemies, weapons, or items that can be spread out across the map.

How does it play? In Black Ops 4, you have the choice between various game modes like multiplayer and the zombie mode. New for the series is also the battle royale mode Blackout.

In the familiar multiplayer, you select a pre-made character that comes with a special skill. Then choose your weaponry and jump into the match against other players.

In modes like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, or Domination, you battle against human opponents. If you enjoy cooperative fun with other players, you choose the zombie mode.

There is no campaign.

How does the title make money? In the in-game shop of Black Ops 4, you can buy the digital currency CoD Points. With this, you can acquire various cosmetic items on the black market, the in-game shop of Black Ops 4 – including new character skins, weapon camos, calling cards, or even simple reticles for the sights.

2 out of 3 readers want to play WoW Classic only with German realms

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Our survey on the popularity of WoW Classic was clear. The German community is outraged by the decision not to offer German servers.

Right after the announcement from Blizzard not to offer German servers for World of Warcraft Classic, we started a survey to capture the opinions of our readers. The result is disturbingly clear.

66% of our readers will not play WoW Classic because there are no German realms – exactly two thirds. A third does not mind the mixed-language realms and will still play.

The result is quite clear.

Whether the number of just under 2/3 is necessarily representative of the entire German WoW player base remains to be seen. In any case, the result aligns with the general sentiment currently prevailing in the forums and comment sections.

WoW: Classic – Blizzard is actually messing it up on the home stretch
von Cortyn

What the opposing voices say

You have also actively shared your opinions in the comments and explained what bothers you about this decision. Here are some voices from our community.

Bodicore clearly states:

No, for me this topic is settled. I waited so long and now this…

My day is completely ruined.

Or our dear Koronus:

No. I will take a one-month subscription for name reservation, but not play. I always appreciated Blizzard for providing dedicated language servers. With this development, I might as well play on a German BC server.

Sascha Schulte would have preferred a middle ground:

I can’t really understand this decision.
There have also been German servers so far, and I think they have been running quite well.

Maybe Blizzard should have first offered language-specific servers; if in the end, there is too little activity, they can still say “we have offered it and it was only moderately accepted”.
Merger is still possible.

What the pro voices say

Despite the clear result, the pro voices have also spoken up and given many comments.

Saigun for example says:

Doesn’t make a difference for me. I would have gone to an English [server] anyway. The BG wait times on the official servers chased me away from the German-speaking servers back in mid-2017, and it probably wouldn’t have been any better on German Classic servers.

WoW Classic players have something against Streamers Title Pitchforks

The Gari thinks:

Yes, why not?!
I have hidden the chat 90% of the time anyway, only the guild chat is active. And in the guild, you can freely choose who you join. There will surely be enough German guilds that people who only want German chat can join.
So for me, it makes no difference whether it’s mixed or German realms.

Or as Rakath 1 says:

I will still play it; I have no reason not to play because of that. For me, it’s more about some people I used to game with coming back and being able to play with them. Sure, I understand people who want to game with randoms that it would be better if there were language-separated servers, but in chat, one can simply indicate that they are only looking for their respective language.

WoW Classic Vegan Title

Is there still hope? The extremely strong protest could – at least theoretically – still ensure that Blizzard reconsiders its decision. After all, they have so far been very keen on precisely implementing the wishes of Classic fans. So there is still a glimmer of hope. And you couldn’t get better PR than if you still fulfill this wish for the players.

New MMORPG offers 11 classes and a touch of horror: Here is the 1st trailer

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Defend the Night is a new MMORPG where you must protect yourself from the dark night. The online role-playing game focuses less on common quests and more on large events.

What is Defend the Night? The MMORPG aims to do things differently while still providing players with the challenges that MMORPGs used to offer.

  • You create your hero from 11 classes, which are divided into Healers, Tanks, and Damage Dealers. The developers have not yet revealed which classes they are.
  • There are no typical fetch or kill quests.
  • Grinding is minimized.
  • The game emphasizes epic events where players must cooperate.
  • You build your own fortress that you can even develop into a town.
  • Fights will function classically via tab-targeting.
  • You improve your hero based on talents.
  • You will only get better through practice and gameplay.
  • There are dungeons and raids with bosses that you can only defeat in a group.
  • Guilds play a significant role.

Based on the first trailer, you get a glimpse of the gameplay:

Fear the Night!

What is the story about? You live in a large fantasy world that at first glance does not differ much from other MMORPGs. There you gather resources to expand your fortress, fight monsters, and experience adventures with friends.

But when night falls, you’d better seek shelter. Because the creatures of the night pose a great danger. They will attack your settlements to destroy you.

What is special about the game? Defend the Night wants to impress you with an interesting system. While you fight each other in PvP battles during the day, you must cooperate at night. Because only by defending your fortresses and towns together can you survive.

The MMORPG aims to move away from grinding and repetitive quests in MMORPGs. Instead, the developers focus on large events in which you can participate. Successfully completing such events will reward you with experience points that you can use to improve your hero.

Many questions remain unanswered

Will it be a Free2Play game? Currently, the team is still considering which path to take. Defend the Night could appear as a Free2Play game or as a subscription MMORPG. The subscription seems to be the current preference. However, players would then be able to play for free through a limited demo mode.

When will the MMORPG be released? The team currently cannot provide a date. Defend the Night has been in development since mid-2017 and is currently in internal alpha testing.

How is the development funded? Currently, the team operates a merchandise store, where you can buy T-shirts with the game’s logo. The revenues flow into the development.

Once the internal tests have progressed further, the developers plan to start a crowdfunding campaign. However, they want to have the game in a well-presentable state so that supporters can get a good impression of the title.

In addition, founder packages are to be offered in the future. However, there is no information about this yet.

DrLupo collects nearly 1 million dollars for sick children in just 4 hours with Fortnite on Twitch

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

The Fortnite streamer Ben “DrLupo” Lupo raised nearly 1 million US dollars for charity for a children’s hospital at the Guardian Con – all in just 4 hours of playing Fortnite. This means that about a quarter of the total proceeds from the charity event are attributed to him.

This is how much DrLupo’s Fortnite stream contributed to the Guardian Con: DrLupo, whose real name is Ben Lupo, is a well-known Fortnite streamer and a family man. He is known for regularly hosting charity streams. Additionally, he is a passionate supporter of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

After raising high amounts for the hospital during previous Guardian Cons, this year he managed to raise about a quarter of the total donations from the entire event.

In his 4-hour streaming block, where he played Fortnite, he collected almost 920,000 US dollars in donations for the hospital.

https://twitter.com/WeAreTiltify/status/1142835985572438017

For reaching certain donation milestones, there were various stretch goals. For instance, DrLupo played with self-imposed handicaps like a building ban in Fortnite.

After reaching this massive donation amount, Lupo was visibly moved and struggled with tears.

He emotionally thanked all the participants and donors, but also received great praise and admiration from the community as well as from other streaming figures like Tfue or Jacksepticeye.

This is how the Guardian Con 2019 went: This year, it is arguably the largest Guardian Con to date. Developers such as Bungie, Gearbox Software, or Digital Extremes and numerous prominent streamer figures like DrLupo were present.

The hoped-for goal of 3 million US dollars was significantly exceeded by the community. A total of over 3.7 million dollars in donations was raised through various smaller actions and the large-scale streaming marathon.

Bungie raised nearly 400,000 dollars for charity in their 4-hour streaming block. DrLupo set a new record, raising an insane amount with his stream – also within just 4 hours.

What is the Guardian Con and its charity event all about? The Guardian Con is an annual gaming event that originally has its roots in the Destiny community. What started as a small gathering of Bungie and some fans in a bar has now transformed into a huge event with many participants and a large-scale charity effort.

At this event, attendees can not only play games and meet developers as well as well-known streamers or community members. Through donations during the accompanying streams or ticket purchases, funds are raised for charitable purposes every year – namely to support the world-renowned St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in the USA.

The streaming marathon is now considered one of the absolute highlights of the event, where every year, everyone eagerly anticipates how much will be raised for the children’s hospital this time.

What do you think about the charity event as part of the Guardian Con? And how do you find DrLupo’s performance?

Imitator pretends to be DrDisrespect while he is banned on Twitch

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

On Twitch, the popular streamer DrDisrespect has been banned indefinitely. A seemingly big fan of his wants to fill this gap and imitates the Doctor in his absence by playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and reenacting the escapades of his idol.

What kind of impersonator is this? He calls himself DrDipsRespect and has been active on Twitch for a few days. On the streaming platform, he plays PUBG and talks a lot – just like his idol.

He looks like the slightly out-of-shape cousin of the Doctor and copies the hairstyle, mannerisms, and demeanor of the popular streamer. However, he lacks a bit of production quality and the explosive presence of his idol.

Moreover, he is missing the powerful mustache and the even more powerful mega macho ego.

What sets him apart? It is a self-deprecating performance that makes it clear that the impersonator knows and appreciates his idol.

Instead of being a “Champion,” like the Doctor, he presents himself as a “Participant”:

  • DrDisrespect is known as the “The Two-Time Blockbuster Video Game Champion” from the years 93 and 94, the two-time winner of a video game competition.
  • His impersonator is merely a two-time participant in a spelling competition and placed third and ninth.
DrDisrespect-Twitch
He is a champion.

Accordingly, his community is not the “Champion’s Club,” but the “Participant’s Club,” that is, the “Club of Participants.”

Even the outbursts of anger for which the Doctor is known, when someone catches him in PUBG, seem a bit forced coming from his fan and do not come from the gut. The impersonator says anyway that he does not want donations; people should rather go to the “real” one.

This feature from Wizards Unite is desired by trainers for Pokémon GO

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Wizards Unite has launched and many players from Pokémon GO have tried it out too. One feature has notably caught attention, something that one wishes for in Pokémon GO as well.

What feature is it? If you’re moving quickly in Wizards Unite, for example in a car, the wizard in the game gets on a broom and flies.

While it’s just a small animation, it looks more realistic than the walking the character does in Pokémon GO.

Players want a bike in Pokémon GO

How can this be implemented in Pokémon GO? Those who have played the console games of Pokémon know how to move quickly there: with a bike.

Bike
A bike would fit well in Pokémon GO. Source: Bulbapedia

It should be easy to incorporate such a bike into Pokémon GO. If you’re driving a car, the character jumps on the bike and rides along.

What do the players say about it? On Reddit, there is a relevant thread with over 700 upvotes. It calls for Niantic to include the bike in Pokémon GO. There is much agreement:

  • MoreDragonMaidPls: “Take notes, Niantic. Come to Reddit and get good ideas.”
  • HBFTM: “Also, a few avatar items that match the bike would be good, like a helmet.”
  • nighthunterrr: “Pokémon GO needs a bike mode!! No more silly walking avatar.”

This year, some Destiny 2 developers from Bungie participated in a Guardiancon stream. Among them was also Dave Samuel, known in the Destiny community as “Soundguy.” For an amount of $300,000, Samuel was to create his iconic sounds. The Guardians donated, and the “Soundguy” delivered.

What is Guardiancon? Guardiancon was founded by prominent Destiny streamers, including King Gothalion and Professor Broman. It is more than just a meeting place for Guardians; the convention also raises significant funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This year, Bungie also participated, as several developers joined in a dedicated stream segment for some fun. Franchise head Luke Smith was in the stream to talk about “business” – such as what nerfs Bungie is currently considering.

For a fundraising milestone of $300,000, Dave Samuel was also supposed to appear and showcase his iconic Destiny sounds. The Guardians didn’t need to be asked twice, and neither did the Soundguy.

Dave Samuel: FX Artist and incredibly talented sound guy

Who is Dave Samuel? Dave Samuel is a Senior Effects Artist at Bungie and is often noted for his wild “sound effects” in the developer’s ViDocs. Samuel is so enthusiastic about his work, that he describes new features with his own sounds.

In the Destiny community, Dave Samuel is incredibly popular and is referred to as the “Happiest Man Alive” or simply “Soundguy.”

Bungie even dedicated an emote to their developer in Destiny 2. The exotic emote “Unrestrained Enthusiasm” is attributed to Samuel and covers the Guardians in his trademarks: glasses, beard, and incredibly funny sounds.

What could be seen in the stream? After the Guardians raised $300,000 for his appearance, Samuel was to “commentate” a Crucible match in the stream. The Soundguy did his best, but for a long time, not much exciting happened in the match. Nevertheless, he provided a lot of good humor with his sounds for the Guardian’s steps and deaths.

Dave Samuel provided laughs when the Spectral Blades Hunter slaughtered enemies, and he excitedly shouted: “Slash! Slash! Slash!”

The approximately four-hour stream by Bungie was able to raise over $400,000 in donations:

MMORPG Rift will no longer receive large expansions, instead something else

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Fans of the MMORPG Rift have reason to be happy, as Community Manager Zyra has stated that the MMORPG has a future. However, it won’t include major expansions like it has in the past.

Why should Rift not have a future? Since Trion Worlds was acquired by gamigo, it has been quiet about the MMORPG Rift. Players have wondered about new updates and expansions. Essentially, nothing has been announced except for the Season Pass. Therefore, some believed that the future looked bleak for the online role-playing game.

Rift-4-3

New Content is Coming!

What has been announced now? Community Manager Zyra has come forward with good news. Rift will continue to receive content. However, in a slightly different form.

  • The MMORPG will no longer receive a major add-on every 1.5 years so that players do not have to wait so long for new content.
  • Instead, smaller updates with content are expected to be released at shorter intervals. This includes new dungeons, raids, quests, and more.

What do the plans for the future look like exactly? There is even already a glimpse of what players can expect.

Short-term plans are:

  • Call-to-Action Event: Unicornalia
  • Seasonal events like the summer festival
  • Call to Action will take place every two weeks from now on
  • Reduced costs for the “Planar Fragment” system

In the long term, players can expect the following:

  • A revision of the daily calendar
  • Battle Pass Season 2
  • Optimization of the “Planar Fragment” system
  • Revision of the “Critical Chance” for Planar Fragments

The Community Wants Something Different

How are players reacting to the announcement? Since the acquisition of Trion by gamigo and the reduction of servers as well as the shutdown of classic worlds, the mood in the official forum has become very tense. Accordingly, the community is divided over the announcement.

For many, some of the content comes far too late, and new dungeons are considered pointless. Seasonal events are not seen as major innovations, as such things are simply part of an MMORPG. Moreover, it is criticized that everything is just vague announcements, without real explanations and no timeline for when to expect the content.

Skiye writes in the forum: “This was really disappointing. The entire Rift community is waiting for balance optimizations and endgame content. And this is being ignored.”

Others, however, are happy that something is happening with Rift and that at least some new content is coming.

Hersheykisses writes, for example: “Thank you for the information. Although it is not new content, I appreciate having something to do while I wait for truly new content.”

PlayStation 4: Sony was No.3 among publishers at E3 2019 – They weren’t even there

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

As announced, Sony was not present at the E3 2019. However, even though they opted out of attending this year, PlayStation 4 was still a hot topic – at least according to Twitter.

Why was Sony not at E3 2019? Already at the end of 2018, Sony announced that they would not participate in E3 2019. They were exploring new and known paths and looking for original ideas to collaborate with their community, the company said at that time.

How did E3 go without Sony? Although they were absent from the world’s most significant gaming convention in 2019, comparatively, a lot was said about Sony.

Thus, Sony was the third most popular publisher at the event with its PlayStation. According to Twitter, the main topic was Nintendo, followed by Microsoft with its Xbox in second place.

Only these two publishers had more conversation than Sony. After that came Square Enix and Bethesda.

However, Microsoft and Nintendo were present in their usual capacity at this year’s game fair. PlayStation and Sony, on the other hand, had no event of their own.

Why was there so much talk about PlayStation? The reason for this was likely that most of the games shown at E3 2019 will be released for the PS4 and PS5. While they did not have their own conference, almost all major titles of E3 are coming to PlayStation 4.

It will be interesting to see if Sony might return to E3 next year, in 2020, and present their new next-gen console. Because the data from Twitter shows: Interest in Sony and PlayStation is high – even when they are not present.

12-year-old Fortnite pro takes revenge on “rat” Tfue for Twitch ban

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite , the 12-year-old pro FaZe H1ghSky1 received a Twitch ban because he was below the age limit and lied about being older. Now he is taking revenge with a “Diss Track” against the Twitch streamer Tfue, who revealed his age. However, the rap isn’t received too well.

This is how the boy is getting back at Tfue: The young Fortnite pro FaZe H1ghsky1 released a “Tfue Diss Track” on YouTube, where the boy raps.

He addresses details of the conflict between FaZe and Tfue and tells the story of his own ban in rap form:

  • FaZe H1ghSky1 only lied about his age because he wants to do the thing he loves
  • Tfue betrayed him and didn’t even apologize
  • He left the team when he was needed the most
  • Success got to his head
  • Moreover, H1ghSky1 is obviously a much better Fortnite player than Tfue, who has significantly declined

The boy says he made the video to lighten the mood. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Fortnite-Tfue-trinkt
Here, Tfue is accused of having an alcohol problem, which he had even before his time at FaZe.

Cramming Level “legendary”

This is how the video is received: The video is coming off as “so-so”. It currently has 30,400 upvotes and 16,600 downvotes, but already over 10,000 comments on YouTube.

In the comments, people are making fun of the video, saying it has too many effects and is cringeworthy.

However, some lines are indeed praised.

This is the background story: The streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney has the third-largest Twitch channel in the world and is considered one of the best Fortnite players.

But just before his big career started, he signed an unfavorable contract with the eSports organization FaZe. To get out of this contract, he filed a lawsuit and a complaint with the “Labor Commissioner” in Los Angeles.

Fortnite-Tfue-Lachen
H1ghSky1 and his many friends laugh at the isolated Tfue.

In the complaint, it was stated that FaZe also signed an 11-year-old, which apparently prompted Twitch to investigate.

Ultimately, Twitch banned the player FaZe H1ghsky1 from the streaming platform.

5 Things You Should Do Before the Release of WoW Patch 8.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

The next patch of World of Warcraft is just around the corner. We will tell you what you definitely should take care of before then.

This week, the next major patch for World of Warcraft is finally coming. Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara is one of the largest content patches to date and brings two new zones, as well as plenty of new quests, collectible items, and new gameplay mechanics.

In order to enjoy the new content without any restrictions, you should prepare as well as you can. We list five things you should definitely complete before Patch 8.2, which is coming this Wednesday.

WoW Azshara Patch 82 title

1. Get Heart of Azeroth to level 50

Even though many players find the Heart of Azeroth to be a thorn in their side, it plays a significant role in Battle for Azeroth, and that won’t change with Patch 8.2. There, you will unlock not only a new active ability but also up to two strong passive abilities as well as minor increases in stamina, which will allow your character to survive longer.

To have as much head start as possible, it’s worthwhile to upgrade the Heart of Azeroth to level 50 already. This is also the current maximum. Artifact power collected beyond that has no benefit.

The new cap with Patch 8.2 is, by the way, 75. Artifact knowledge will also be unlocked weekly again, making leveling go increasingly faster.

2. Complete Pathfinder of Battle for Azeroth (Part 1)

One of the major features of Patch 8.2 is the ability to finally unlock flying in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. The cool thing: This applies not only to the “old” areas but also to the two new zones Nazjatar and Mechagon.

To ensure that the unlocking of flying goes quickly, you should already complete the first part of the achievement. This usually happens “automatically” while playing and requires only a little active effort. Complete all quests, uncover all areas, and do some world quests.

3. Bring professions to the current maximum

If you are pursuing a crafting profession and want to earn gold with it, you should quickly bring your professions to the current maximum. With Patch 8.2, there are new recipes for all professions. This includes not only new armors but also extremely powerful potions and flasks that may far exceed their predecessors.

To avoid having to craft annoying “old” things when making the new items, you should get this done now. This saves time so you can directly continue with the new recipes on Wednesday.

4. Stockpile war resources

Do you see a few world quests that currently reward particularly many war resources? Then quickly complete them! War resources remain somewhat relevant, as they guarantee an income of artifact power through the follower missions, even when you are not playing.

Since you’ll primarily be active in Nazjatar and Mechagon with Patch 8.2, the number of available world quests is limited. It is good if you have a solid buffer of war resources in advance to send your followers out every day.

5. Complete the war campaign

The war campaign is an ongoing narrative for the Horde and Alliance in Battle for Azeroth. The missions are sometimes a bit longer and can take a bit of time. Since the war campaign is continued in Patch 8.2 and is even a prerequisite for some other content, such as the legacy armor of the Taurens, you should have it completed as much as possible in advance.

Is that it?

Those who compare this list with earlier “What should I do before the patch?” lists will find that the tasks this time are quite few, and most of them can be completed quickly. This could be because Patch 8.2 will likely be a new entry point for many players, and Blizzard sets the hurdles as low as possible.

Conversely, this means that returnees can relatively easily jump back into the game to give Battle for Azeroth another chance with Patch 8.2.

Are you already prepared for the big patch? Or are you not interested in the update at all?

Some players feel disadvantaged by magic energy in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

The release of Wizards Unite is here and thousands of players are hunting magical creatures. However, especially players from small towns are facing a problem: lack of spell energy.

What’s the problem? The spell energy is essential in Wizards Unite. You mainly get energy from inns and greenhouses, but these are not found everywhere.

Especially players in villages and small towns receive less spell energy. They are now complaining as this is a clear disadvantage for them.

Insufficient resources – A known problem with Niantic

What do players say? Many players are annoyed by the spell energy system. Already under one of our recent articles, there were some negative comments about it:

  • konradema: “You’ve conveniently left out the spell energy, or do these people only play in cities?! This is another disaster as we know it from PoGO. One would think that Niantic had learned from this, but Niantic has not.”
  • Timo L.: “The big problem is the energy. In our town, about 4 x 4 km, there are exactly 7 inns, 4 of which are on a 200-meter stretch of road, then one 100 meters further and the last 2 are 300 meters further at a bridge. That’s it. In the entire further area, there are only fortresses and flag pennants.
    So, the gameplay is limited to walking in circles around the few inns.
    And who plays in a city and has an inn at home doesn’t need to move at all for it.”
Wizards Unite spell energy
Spell energy is simply too rare for many players

This is how Niantic responded to the criticism: Before the launch in Germany, Niantic had adjusted the spell energy. Now there is significantly more energy than was originally the case.

When the change was announced, players suspected that this would not be sufficient, as spell energy is often needed.

What do you need this energy for? You need spell energy for casting spells. So, when you are having a magical encounter and want to attack or free the creature, you need spell energy.

If you don’t have enough energy, you cannot cast spells.

Houses
You receive spell energy at these inns

The problem is known: Players from villages have been complaining about a disadvantage for years,just like in Pokémon GO. They have too few PokéStops in their town and thus too few Pokéballs. So catching Pokémon is very difficult.

Why are there these problems? Wizards Unite relies on inns and greenhouses, just like Pokémon GO, on data from Ingress. You can also help by submitting PokéStops in Pokémon GO.

When a portal is created in Ingress, it becomes one of these inns in Wizards Unite. However, portals are only created in locations that are interesting to the public. These include churches, playgrounds, or similar places. Not every house can simply become a portal.

In villages, however, there are significantly fewer of these places than in large cities. Logically, there is also less spell energy for the players.

von Noah Struthoff

How can I get more spell energy? For village players, it will probably also be more difficult in the future than for players in the big city.

However, you can also get energy from challenges and daily logins. So you can score even in the village.

What do you think about the problem? Do you also have too little spell energy available?

Destiny 2 raises $400,000 in 4 hours – Shows 2 new Shadowkeep weapons

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, developer Bungie hosted approximately a 4-hour live stream for GuardianCon, resulting in $400,000 in donations. The team showcased two new weapons for the Shadowkeep expansion. With Twitch streamers like Tfue, DrLupo, and Cohhcarnage, a total of $3.7 million was raised for research on childhood diseases.

What is GuardianCon? GuardianCon is a community event founded in 2015 by Destiny streamers such as King Gothalion and Professor Broman. It takes place every year in Florida.

Bungie has officially embraced the event and is present at the convention. However, one should not expect major reveals like at BlizzCon. While Luke Smith shared a few details on the sidelines of the event regarding a upcoming nerf of the Supers, nothing too crazy was revealed.

There will be several keynotes and a live stream. Additionally, there will be a donation marathon on Twitch over a week.

Broman
Professor Broman.

GuardianCon is more of a quiet event where Bungie strives to do something good and celebrate the Destiny community. After all, they see themselves as guardians.

The event grows larger each year and is no longer solely focused on Destiny, but has evolved into a charity event that also includes other games like Borderlands 3 or Warframe and their companies.

For years, the most popular streamers on Twitch have used GuardianCon to give back as well. They encourage their communities to donate for a good cause.

How much money has Bungie raised: The segment of the charity stream designed by Bungie lasted 4 hours and raised just over $400,000.

The money came together right at the end of the stream, causing quite a commotion:

Fortnite team takes a 2-week break – But a big event is likely to start in the game

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In a blog post, Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite, mention that they will take a summer break. However, there could be some happenings in the game.

What was announced? Epic Games announces that they will take a short summer break. The Epic Games studios will be closed between June 24 and July 8. The employees will be on vacation.

Previously, Epic Games closed their studio for a short time during Christmas 2018. However, a lot happened in Fortnite during that time, and it is expected to be the same this summer.

Fortnite developers on summer break – What does that mean for the game?

What will happen to Fortnite during that time? The US site Polygon inquired with Epic and wanted to know if there would be nothing exciting happening in Fortnite during that time and how bugs would be addressed during this period.

14 Days of Summer
The Fortnite developers are taking vacation

Epic responded calmly and confirmed that Fortnite will continue to be updated, just like during the Christmas period. Additionally, measures are said to have been put in place to ensure that there will be a response if there are significant problems in Fortnite.

What can we expect during this time? While the developers were on winter break, a massive event called “14 Days of Fortnite” was presented to the players. This could happen again now, as tasks related to “14 Days of Summer” have already been found, which could soon arrive in the game.

14 Days of Fortnite
This summer, we will likely also experience an event for “14 Days of Fortnite”

Fortnite will probably not be boring, especially since weekly challenges will still be in place. Only tournaments in Fortnite will not take place during this time, Epic confirms on their website.

That’s why the break is so interesting: In April, insider reports surfaced that claimed many overtime hours at Epic Games, and the developers are under enormous pressure.

It makes it all the more interesting that Epic Games is simply closing down for 2 weeks and all employees will have time off.

The lead animator of Epic, Jay Hosfelt, wrote on Twitter that the employees will also have additional vacation and will take another two-week break during Christmas.

The World Cup qualifiers for Fortnite are now also over. Many well-known players are not seen there:
