Destiny 2: The Iron Banner now has much more grind – What do you think about it?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

Season 7 of Destiny 2 brought some changes to the Iron Banner. However, not everyone is happy about it. In particular, the new armor quest for the PvP event has been criticized by many. What do you think about this innovation?

This is the biggest change in the Iron Banner: With Season 7, access to the new seasonal armors has been significantly adjusted, along with some minor changes. The way to earn the new Iron Banner armor pieces has completely changed.

You can learn more about it here: What changes with the Iron Banner in Season 7

How it was before: Last season, the individual armor pieces were still tied to the weekly bounties from Lord Saladin. If you successfully completed them, the items were then available for direct purchase from Lord Saladin. Additionally, you could get them as random drops after Iron Banner matches. All bounties could be completed in parallel.

This is how it was before the Season of Opulence

This is how it is now: If you want event-specific armor pieces from the Iron Banner in the Season of Opulence, you must first embark on a quest. In this framework, you unlock the five individual armor pieces in a total of five steps. Only then can they drop as random rewards after matches.

There is no other way to obtain the new armors. Each step must be completed individually. Progress can only be made when you reach the respective step. You can no longer complete multiple tasks simultaneously, as was possible with the bounties.

This is how fans view the new armor quest from the Iron Banner

What supporters say: For numerous players, this new way is absolutely fine. After all, many wanted more grind and more to do. That is exactly what they have now.

Moreover, the tasks are anything but impossible to master. You just need to put in some effort and will then be rewarded accordingly for your efforts. For dedicated teams, the quest is no problem at all. Many cannot understand the uproar surrounding this change.

What critical voices say: Many other Guardians, however, believe that Bungie has overdone it with the new armor quest “The Power Test”. The current Iron Banner is perhaps the most grind-heavy and annoying that Destiny 2 has ever seen. Especially for solo players or smaller groups, the path to the armor can become a real ordeal.

destiny-2-eisenbanner

Because without a fixed team, the Iron Banner is unpredictable. If you’re lucky and hit a good group, you can make progress relatively quickly. If you’re unlucky, for example, the fifth and final step can potentially take up to 50 matches – unless you use a trick.

Generally, the entire quest seems far too focused on monotonous grind, with the steps feeling tedious, artificial, and unnecessarily drawn out for many fans. Additionally, it is sometimes unclear how progress is actually made (especially with grenade kills).

Many preferred the old bounty system and would like to see its return. Some wonder what motivated Bungie to make this decision. However, the prevailing sentiment is that Bungie must definitely improve before the next Iron Banner of Season 7. Because as it stands, the one-week PvP event is not enjoyable for many players at all.

destiny-2-eisenbanner

Some even jokingly note that as a “mortal” with a job and personal life, you almost have to take time off if you want to finish at least one character before the reset. To the disappointment of many, progress for the quest is also counted character-wide rather than account-wide.

If you want to unlock Iron Banner armors for all your Guardians, you must tackle this long quest with each one of them. This is hardly possible for working professionals and players with family commitments, according to the criticism. The previous system was significantly better.

Survey: What do you think of the new armor quest in the Iron Banner?

Even here at MeinMMO, there has been lively discussion on this topic. In this context, we have now prepared a survey for you and want to know what you think of the new armor quest.

Wizards Unite: How to Get and Save Spell Energy

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 4 minutes

Spell energy is probably the most important resource in Wizards Unite. We will show you how to get it and how to best manage it.

What is spell energy? This resource helps you to free findable items from Foundables. You also need it in Fortresses and at Greenhouses. Spell energy is therefore important in almost every situation.

However, spell energy is not exactly common. Because you use it so often, it is often empty as well. We will show you where to collect spell energy and how to best conserve it.

Getting spell energy – Here’s where to find it

Spell energy from inns: The inns are probably the easiest suppliers of spell energy. You can find them almost everywhere and receive different amounts of energy depending on the food.

Inns
These are the various inns that exist. Source: Wizards Unite Hub

We will show you a list of possible foods and how much energy you receive from them:

Food from the innSpell energy
Afternoon Tea3 spell energy
Tomato Soup3 spell energy
Pumpkin Juice3 spell energy
Bertie Bott’s Beans3 spell energy
Sausage and Mash5 spell energy
Fish & Chips6 spell energy
Honeydukes Chocolate 6 spell energy
Butterbeer7 spell energy
Turkey Platter10 spell energy

How is the food decided? It is random which food is conjured from the inn. Luck plays a part here too, whether you might even receive the Turkey Platter.

This is important with inns: You can receive spell energy from the inn every 5 minutes. When you have received food, the chimney smokes. When it stops smoking, you can collect new food.

Inns
The inns provide you with the most spell energy

Spell energy from greenhouses: Here you can grow plants that you later need for potions, but you also receive spell energy here. However, the energy you receive varies between the plants.

Spell energy through rewards: Daily logins reward you with spell energy. You also receive energy when completing daily assignments.

Level-ups also reward you with energy. This is still quite easy at the beginning, but later you do not level up as quickly.

Buying spell energy: If you cannot get spell energy in any other way, you can also buy it. You can use gold that you have earned beforehand.

You receive gold, for example, by completing challenges and through daily logins. So make sure to check in every day to at least get the gold for logging in. You can then use it to buy spell energy.

Saving spell energy – Things to consider

Be careful with energy: If you currently do not have enough energy, you may have wasted it unnecessarily. Be cautious with it and do not waste a lot of spell energy on findable items that you may already have often.

Wizards Unite casting spells
Take your time to trace the spell. This way you save the most energy

Here you can save energy: Especially at the beginning, we are all still amateurs when it comes to tracing spells. So take your time and do not rush it. Otherwise, the spells are not strong and you waste the energy.

So it is best to stand still when tracing spells. This way you can effectively conserve energy.

von Noah Struthoff

So you can build up a good supply: If you are currently in places where you can collect a lot of energy, it is worth it to build up a larger supply. You can purchase the enlargement in the in-game shop. An extension of 10 slots costs 150 gold.

You can buy more slots for energy in the shop

Keep some energy in reserve: When you are on the go, always make sure that you have 8-10 energy left in your inventory. You can then use this energy for the findable items that are really rare.

You can identify rare items in your inventory. If it says “Low” there, the items are not very rare. If it says something like “Emergency”, you should not leave them behind.

It would be frustrating if you found such an item but had no energy left for spells. The little reserve is therefore even more important.

Teamfight Tactics nerfs the OP hero before launch – Patch notes with 27 changes

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The new game from Riot, Teamfight Tactics, is set to launch tomorrow. A new update will be released, which slightly weakens one of the game’s major villains: Aurelion Sol will be nerfed, as he was considered completely OP. We take a look at the patch notes in English.

This is the situation: Currently, “Teamfight Tactics” is still in a testing phase and is tied to the version of LoL. Players need to gain access to the LoL test server to play it. This is not that easy and requires a well-maintained LoL account.

Nevertheless, the autobattler is already a hit on Twitch.

But the balance is off. Some heroes are apparently too strong, while others are too weak. In a new patch, Riot is now addressing one of the toughest.

Already on Wednesday, June 26, Teamfight Tactics is supposed to have its official release and officially become part of the regular client – that’s what everyone expects.

teamfight-tactics-header

This is the most significant nerf: It hits the dragon “Aurelion Sol”. He is clearly too strong and is considered in the first tier lists as “S” tier, which is the highest class.

In the new patch, his ultimate drops from 300-700 to 250-600 damage. Additionally, the mana cost increases from 100 to 120.

Season 9 and May bring 38% less revenue than 2018, but Fortnite is still huge

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The analysis page Superdata has published the May figures for Fortnite . Compared to last year, Epic generated 38% less revenue, but the developers do not need to be really worried.

What do the numbers say? A revenue loss of 38% should actually be concerning, but when looking at Fortnite’s numbers, that is not the case at all.

In May 2019, around the Season 9 of Fortnite, Epic earned 203 million dollars with the game. Fortnite remains the highest-grossing game on consoles. On PC it ranks fifth.

Fortnite is still huge, even though the hype is over

What is causing the revenue decline? In May 2018, Fortnite was likely at its peak. This was followed by the summer, which brought Fortnite worldwide fame.

Fortnite numbers
So the numbers for Fortnite had risen until May 2018

Now, a year later, the huge hype is over. However, a large number of players have remained loyal. Fortnite still has millions of players, but Epic cannot reach the last summer’s numbers.

Is Fortnite getting smaller now? The battle royale shooter still generates revenues that most other games can only dream of. On Twitch, Fortnite streamers are still the most popular, and in summer the big Fortnite World Championship for several million dollars in prize money is happening. So Fortnite is still not really “small.”

Numbers
On consoles, Fortnite is still the highest-grossing game

Here Fortnite has an advantage: Currently, the battle royale genre is still very popular. Fortnite is the first stop for players since no other game has managed to captivate like Fortnite has.

In February we witnessed the big rise of Apex Legends, but even Respawn’s game could not compete with Fortnite in the long run.

What’s next for Fortnite? In the coming years, Fortnite will certainly not disappear from the scene. Epic is trying to attack on all fronts and attract players.

World Cup
The big World Cup is coming up in summer

They are expanding their creative mode to attract fans from Minecraft and are currently building a very large esports department to establish Fortnite in this industry as well. There will be a huge highlight with the Fortnite World Cup in summer.

Currently, Fortnite is also planning something big again. There is now “14 Days of Summer” – an event where there will be a lot of new content every day:

Because Blizzard does not provide German servers for WoW Classic, players want to take one over

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The pain over the decision not to offer German realms for WoW Classic runs deep. But there is a workaround organized by the players.

For several days now, there has only been one big topic around World of Warcraft Classic. Blizzard has announced that it will not offer language-specific servers. This means that on most realms in WoW Classic, all European languages will be represented. So there will be no purely German servers.

While many fans express their frustration freely in the forum, some players are organizing to solve the problem themselves. They plan to turn one (or more) servers into a “German project”.

WoW Classic title

What is being planned? The goal is to initially unite the German players and then develop a common plan with the intention of turning one or more servers into “German” realms. Thus, German players should predominantly populate the realms selected by the community to find easier connections to guilds and other game content.

How many realms are being considered is not yet entirely clear. However, especially role players are likely to have a strong interest in a realm where predominantly German is spoken.

How can you participate? Anyone interested in the project should simply visit the corresponding Discord server and connect with like-minded individuals. Numerous guilds and upcoming projects are already forming there, wanting to get started together in WoW Classic. So far, nearly 1850 players have gathered on the Discord server. You can join the Discord server via this link.

WoW Ragnaros Classic title thirteenth attempt please please 2

Other language groups are planning similar things: Players from other languages are also organizing and coordinating to occupy servers strategically. To avoid getting in each other’s way, the communities are in communication with each other. The leadership of the German community is already in talks with the French and Spanish players.

Will Blizzard allow this? Currently, the project leadership is still trying to get in touch with Blizzard to facilitate possible collaboration or to ask for a server list to estimate the number of realms and the division into specific game areas (PvP, PvE, RP). Whether Blizzard is willing to cooperate in any way is rather questionable.

More on the topic
2 out of 3 readers want to play WoW Classic only with German realms
von Cortyn

Is there still hope for a change? Some fans still hope that Blizzard will backtrack and reconsider the decision. After all, there have been numerous complaints from European players in the official forum regarding this change, who feel they are not experiencing the “true Classic”. Whether Blizzard will change its mind about this will be the biggest concern for the player base.

There is already an initial reaction from Blizzard.

Do you think this “workaround” is good, that the community simply creates a server as a “predominantly German” project? Or should Blizzard just give in and offer German servers?

Lost Ark reminds players: The MMORPG is for the global market, not just Korea

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Lost Ark is preparing for launch in Russia. However, there is still no new information about an EU release. Will it even happen?

What do the developers say? In an interview with the Russian site mmo13, some questions were posed to the Executive Director of Smilegate. The director also commented on the target audience for which Lost Ark was developed:

Our goal was to create exciting content that sparks the interest of players around the world, regardless of their country, culture, or mindset.

The MMORPG was developed from the very beginning for the global market, according to the director. He is aware that, for example, Russian players are particularly interested in the MMORPG genre and is looking forward to their feedback.

Smilegate has apparently not given up on their plans for the global release of Lost Ark. However, when European players will be able to get their hands on the MMORPG remains, unfortunately, unknown.

lost ark lance master update header

Which version will Russian players receive? While we in Europe still have to wait, there are further details about the version of Lost Ark that Russian players will receive.

  • The version of Lost Ark that will be released in Russia is mostly the base version with some content additions and changes from the current Korean version. A kind of hybrid.
  • The publisher Mail.ru currently has no plans to change the cash shop of Lost Ark. The contents will remain identical to the Korean shop.
  • The Russian version of Lost Ark will receive exclusive content over time.

Unfortunately, this version of the MMORPG will have an IP lock that will only allow Russian IPs.

What could this mean for us? The information allows cautious conclusions about what changes the European version of Lost Ark might receive when it arrives.

It is common, for example, that in Korean MMORPGs we are several patches behind the Koreans in terms of content: As seen with Black Desert Online or Blade and Soul. Therefore, it can be assumed that Lost Ark will initially appear in an older version of the MMORPG with us.

Whether anything will change in the cash shop cannot yet be predicted. It is also not confirmed whether My.com, the subsidiary of Mail.ru, will publish Lost Ark for us or not.

Path of Exile: After revision, melee fighters top the rankings in Legion

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

In the third week of the new league of Path of Exile, the developers at Grinding Gear Games looked into which classes and ascendancies are the most chosen by players. It is noticeable that more melee characters are being played in Legion. Some melee characters are even leading the rankings – the revision of melee characters seems to be well-received by players.

What is it about? The developers at Grinding Gear Games recently published statistics on the classes being played. The classes and ascendancies of different level ranges are compared to determine which characters are chosen more often.

This is to give the developers an overview of which classes are currently popular among players.

The character choices between PC and the consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will also be compared. PS4 players have been able to join Path of Exile since March 26.

Path of Exile Artwork new

What are the notable changes? According to the developers, there is a rapid increase in melee characters in the new league Legion, which started on June 7 and immediatelyset a new player record. In the previous league Synthesis, these characters were the most popular:

  • Trickster (Shadow Ascendancy)
  • Occultist (Witch Ascendancy)
  • Elementalist (Witch Ascendancy)

Although the Trickster is an evolution of the melee character Shadow, the Witch ascendancies especially led the popularity scale in Synthesis.

This seems to have changed in the third week of Legion. Looking at all levels on PC, the hybrid melee class Duelist leads the rankings with 11.72% of all characters.

Path of Exile Legion all levels
The selection of characters on PC across all levels

The change becomes clearer with classes at level 70+. In the top four spots of all classes, there are melee characters:

  • Butcher 25.63%
  • Trickster 16.12%
  • Berserker 8.35%
  • Gladiator 6.41%

The distribution of characters at level 70+ is the same across all platforms: On PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the same four classes lead the popularity scale.

Path of Exile Legion 70+

What was the issue with melee characters? In Path of Exile, melee characters had long faced the problem of simply not being effective enough. Most ranged characters can defeat enemies from a distance or like witches simultaneously defeat hordes of monsters with their area damage.

Melee characters had a harder time and usually had to deal with their enemies one at a time. This made them much less efficient and slower when leveling up.

With the current season Legion and Patch 3.7.0, there was a major overhaul of the melee classes, ranging from changes to skills to buffs for gems and entire ascendancies:

People are excited about the new MMORPG Oath, investing money to make it bigger

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The indie MMORPG Oath achieved success even during its Kickstarter campaign. Now, fans are investing more money to make the online game even more extensive.

What is Oath? Oath is a hardcore sandbox MMORPG currently being developed with Unreal Engine 4 and Spatial OS technology.

  • The battles are action-packed and engaging
  • You have access to the seven classes: Knight, Berserker, Pyromancer, Cryomancer, Ranger, Rogue, and Guardian
  • Exploring dungeons is important
  • There are raids that can accommodate up to 20 players
  • You join guilds and participate in guild wars
  • PvE and PvP are not intertwined

A Surprise Success

How successful was the Kickstarter campaign? The development team aimed to raise 35,000 dollars through a Kickstarter campaign that started in early April. In the end, nearly 68,000 dollars were raised.

What fascinates players about Oath? During the Kickstarter campaign, it became clear how passionately the team wants to develop Oath. The developers are MMORPG fans who simply want to play an online role-playing game again that doesn’t cater to casual gamers and the mainstream.

And exactly that is well received by the players. They hope for a hardcore MMORPG that offers many challenges and in which they can invest a lot of time to master it. Furthermore, the developers promise that despite being free-to-play, there will be no pay-to-win elements.

Another point that MMORPG fans appreciate is that PvE and PvP are separate. Moreover, what has been shown so far looks good, even if the graphics are not final yet.

Stretch Goals Are Being Achieved

How are fans supporting the team now? Oath is currently doing so well that funding is continuing through the official website of the game – and it’s going very well.

Some founder packages are offered on the website, which provide access to both the alpha and beta as well as in-game currency.

The sale of these founder packages has ensured that over 105,000 dollars have been raised so far.

What stretch goals has the development team achieved? The additional income has now led to the achievement of some stretch goals:

  • A weather system is coming to the game
  • There will be activities on the ocean
  • A global farming system is being implemented
  • Continental wars and monarchies will also find their way into the MMORPG

Further stretch goals such as expanded mount skills, a PvE invasion system, and a fourth race could still be reached.

When will Oath be released? The first alpha of the MMORPG is planned for the fourth quarter of 2019. The release is expected to occur at the earliest in 2020.

The Division 2: Those who kill animals receive special ammunition – Many refuse to do so

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division 2, there is a curious bug that currently provides you with extra special ammunition. However, not everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity.

This is about the bug: As resourceful agents have discovered, it is currently possible in The Division 2 to obtain special ammunition through indirect means.

It seems that a bug is responsible for the current situation where ammunition for the individual weapons of the various specializations, like the Gunner, can drop when killing animals.

Previously, killing animals in the game was not rewarded, even though all animals in the game can be hunted. In addition, numerous animal lovers are repeatedly calling for more love for dogs. They want to pet them, feed them, or even take them to the operations base, but not kill them.

division-2-hunde

Many find it curious and ironic that dogs are now a reliable source of special ammunition – even if it is due to a bug.

How to currently get additional special ammunition: The animals are currently another source of this coveted ammunition. If you kill them, they often drop special ammunition. However, not all animals seem to drop ammunition.

Among others, dogs, eagles, or rats can refill your special ammunition supplies. However, you will get nothing from crows or deer.

If you kill an animal and it doesn’t drop ammunition, it helps to fill a bar, which ultimately leads to a guaranteed special ammunition drop. Normally, this bar, introduced with Title Update 4, only fills up by killing enemies.

When will this bug be fixed? It was already clear that it must be a bug since the last State of the Game. There, the developers mentioned after the release of Title Update 4 that “killing animals now apparently grants special ammunition.” So it’s not a planned feature.

It was probably also intended to fix this problem during the maintenance last Friday. However, that did not happen. This fix was not included in the patch notes, and animal kills still drop special ammunition.

How long this will remain the case is currently unclear. However, you can still get additional special ammunition if your supplies run low and you can bring yourself to do it.

Source: Kotaku

What do the fans say? Fans have mixed feelings about this additional “source” of special ammunition. Some do not want to raise a hand or a weapon against virtual animals, even if it means giving up the coveted and scarce ammunition.

Others take it with humor. Some emphasize that you should save this ammunition well before John Wick pays a visit to the “animal lovers”.

Still others see it as a welcome opportunity to replenish their scarce special ammunition more quickly. Killing virtual animals for that is not a problem. After all, this is explicitly intended by the game, as all representatives of the animal world can be hunted. Now it’s finally rewarded.

Moreover, it should not bother an agent, some of whom already have more than 1,000 people on their conscience, to shoot an animal in times of need.

What do you think of this bug? Will you try your hand at hunting to stock up on your special ammunition?

Fallout 76 suffers from a real problem: frog mutants with their grenade launchers

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The new battle royale mode “Nuclear Winter” in Fallout 76 offers players many special features. Among them are the perks known from the game. However, a specific combination of perks is causing quite a bit of annoyance.

What is this combination? A mix of three perks is currently spreading as a “meta” in the new battle royale mode “Nuclear Winter”:

  • “Frog Legs” – Increases jump height by 300%, similar to the mutation “Marsupial”
  • “Demolition Expert” – Explosive weapons deal 80% more damage
  • “Grenadier” – Grenades have double the explosion radius

On reddit, players report that they are encountering more and more opponents using these perks and that they often succumb to them.

What perks do in Nuclear Winter

What does this combination do? The combination of these perks allows players to easily climb tall buildings, jump across rooftops, and deal damage to opponents from above during battles.

With the jump height and the enhanced explosive weapons with increased blast radius on grenades, grenade launchers become killing machines. Players with these perks and this weapon are nearly unstoppable.

Some frustrated players report that it is nearly impossible to hit the hopping frogs, especially while being bombarded with grenades themselves.

With this trick, Battle Royale suddenly becomes much easier in Fallout 76
von Benedict Grothaus

What is the problem with these perks? In itself, it wouldn’t be a problem that this combination is so strong. However, not every player always has access to the corresponding perks:

  • Perks are found in packs when leveling up
  • Packs are available at every level up to level 13, then less frequently. From level 20, only every four levels
  • Perks can be duplicated. It is possible not to receive the perks even up to level 100
  • Other players can receive the perks directly with their first level-ups, but need 9 agility for “Frog Legs”

This leads to some players being able to dominate others without them having the opportunity to defend themselves.

Fallout-76-Nuclear-Winter-Übersicht-aller-Features-auf-Deutsch

This is what the community says about it: There are increasingly threads on reddit where players complain. Since Nuclear Winter is currently in the permanently playable pre-beta phase, some fans have already suggested changes such as increased action point consumption or limited charges.

A Community Manager from Bethesda has also responded and said that the criticism has been forwarded to the developers. When Nuclear Winter will be fully released is still uncertain.

Fortnite: Cloak “must” leave FaZe – Twitch star Tfue must stay

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite , players Cloak and Tfue are considered one of the best duos in the world. However, while Twitch star Tfue wants to leave the clan but is not allowed to, FaZe is now letting his partner Cloak go. This is because Tfue is participating in the Fortnite World Cup, but Cloak is not.

What Cloak says: The Twitch streamer and Fortnite player Dennis “Cloak” Lepore says he has wanted to leave his contract with FaZe for 6 months. Because he was in the same “shitty contract” as when he signed. Cloak has been with FaZe since March 2018.

But apparently he got neither permission to leave FaZe nor was offered a new contract for 6 months.

Only when it was clear that he would not qualify for the Fortnite World Cup, did FaZe issue a statement saying they would let Cloak go. However, without coordinating that with him first.

It was said that an agreement had been reached to let him go.

Cloak complains in the Twitch stream that they did not discuss this with him, even though he had wanted to leave for so long.

Even former FaZe players like “Thomas 72hrs” had problems leaving. For “72hrs”, the departure was delayed for two months until a replacement for the Fortnite team was found.

Recommended editorial content

Link to the Twitch content

The catch is: While FaZe is letting the Fortnite player Cloak go, they are retaining the “clan rights” to him.

If Cloak decides to join another organization, the new clan would need to negotiate a transfer fee with FaZe.

Apparently, FaZe wants to prevent Tfue from really starting an organization and recruiting his friend.

Tfue, however, denies wanting to start an organization – he is too dumb for that.

The irony is: The real star of FaZe is Cloak’s partner, Turner “Tfue” Tenney. He has one of the largest Twitch channels in the world.

Tfue is doing everything to get out of the contract, even suing the clan – but he is apparently too valuable to FaZe, who simply will not let him go.

There are no indications that FaZe and Tfue are moving in any way – FaZe seems to really be willing to let it go to court.

Thus, Tfue is still officially with FaZe and under contract, while his partner Cloak can now continue alone.

Tfue Fortnite
Tfue is the only one of the big streamers who has qualified for the Fortnite World Cup so far.

What it’s about: The bitter part here is that Cloak can apparently leave because he did not make it to the World Cup. So he is rewarded for a failure.

While Tfue remains under contract because he will be participating in the World Cup as a solo player. He is therefore punished for a competitive success.

Overall, this situation seems bad.

This new MMORPG sounds like GTA – Why you should be skeptical

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

RAW is a new MMORPG where you live in a fictional state and want to earn your living. Like as a store owner. The gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of GTA. However, those who want to support the project should proceed with caution.

What is RAW? RAW is inspired by Rust and GTA Online and aims to provide you with a simulated world where you can let loose while trying to make a living.

https://youtu.be/vSo8Oz_WPQE

GTA as MMORPG?

What RAW offers: One could call RAW a kind of modern Second Life, with realism taking top priority:

  • You start as a newcomer in a fictional area of 400 km²
  • You want to earn a living and make something of yourself
  • Together with other players, you build a city that also needs to be managed
  • Basically, you take care of everything
  • You buy land to build buildings on
  • If the residents of the city need gas for their cars, then a player has to run a gas station
  • Others sell cars
  • Some players need to deal with city planning
  • The population needs to be supplied with food. So some players should run supermarkets
  • Police will be needed in the city
  • Up to 200 players are active per server

You decide in the game how you earn your living and how you live your virtual life.

When is RAW coming? An early access version could launch by the end of the year. However, the developers state that they will only release RAW when the game is ready.

https://youtu.be/QaVw6OVluwc

Skepticism is advised

How is the MMORPG funded? Currently, there is a Kickstarter campaign taking place, through which the German development team Killerwhale Games hopes to raise 70,000 Euros by July 17. It also looks quite likely that the goal will be met.

More on the topic
MMORPG Crisis – Only 3 Online Role-Playing Games Are Likely to Come in 2019
von Jürgen Horn

That’s why you should be cautious: As interesting as RAW sounds, the community currently shows quite a bit of skepticism towards the project for several reasons:

  • In the game’s videos, it is apparent that assets from Turbosquid are being used. However, Turbosquid prohibits using assets in virtual worlds like Second Life
  • There is no legal notice to be found on the game’s website – according to German law, this is mandatory
  • Killerwhale Games is not registered as a company, but it should be, as income from a Kickstarter campaign must be taxed
  • The question arises whether a small indie team can handle such a project – especially with 70,000 Euros

On Reddit, caution is therefore advised. Let’s see how the situation around RAW develops.

In the meantime, another ambitious MMORPG has been announced:

People do not yet know gameplay for CoD: Modern Warfare – still pre-ordering

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is already successful and generates the most pre-orders at the retail chain GameStop. However, few know exactly what it looks like. That will soon change, as Infinity Ward announces they will show gameplay.

This is the announcement: The retail chain GameSpot may not be as important today in the digital age as it once was. Nevertheless, with 40,000 employees, they are still a big player. After the E3, they published their top 10 list of games that have been pre-ordered:

  • 1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 25.10.2019
  • 2. Pokemon Sword/Shield 15.11.2019
  • 3. Final Fantasy VII Remake 3.3.2020
  • 4. Cyberpunk 2077 16.4.2020
  • 5. Borderlands 3 13.9.2019
  • 6. Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening  20.9.2019
  • 7. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 15.11.2019
  • 8. Gears 5 6.9.2019
  • 9. Super Mario Maker 2 27.6.2019
  • 10. Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled 21.6.2019
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trailer Screenshot 5

However, there are no absolute numbers on how many times each title has been pre-ordered. As the shift to digital is in full swing, the numbers should be taken with caution.

But at least CoD: Modern Warfare is number 1.

“Yay, Call of Duty is still relevant!”

This is how the numbers are interpreted: The number 1 position at GameSpot is seen as a sign that Call of Duty is still relevant in 2019.

For years, it has been said that the franchise would die, but year after year it still becomes a hit for Activision Blizzard.

Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Zigarre

Activision’s new approach, “as dark and realistic as possible” seems to be paying off. People have a high trust in Modern Warfare.

Why this is noteworthy: Unlike games like Borderlands 3 or Cyberpunk 2077, we have not yet seen any gameplay from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

There have only been reports from people who have been allowed to see gameplay.

Modern-Warfare-Team-Ops

The worst part is: We still know very little about the multiplayer mode. It is said to offer a huge world, but we do not know any exact details.

Only a little has been said about character creation.

However, this is supposed to change soon; according to an announcement in the forum, we will get gameplay from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare “soon”. People just need to hang in there a little longer.

However, there is no exact date.

DrDisrespect hints at a spectacular Twitch return – When could that be?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The banned streamer DrDisrespect will return to the streaming platform Twitch. That much is clear. With a new image, he playfully references his ban. But when exactly can fans expect the return of the “Two Times” after the tragic toilet incident?

This is how DrDisrespect hints at his return: Since he has been banned, Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm is apparently recovering from the strains of his capricious life by making nonsense on Twitter.

In his latest tweet, he says: “I am putting millions into my new arena.”

He then posts a slightly distorted image of a studio with the note “Currently under construction – Please check back later.”

Link to the Twitter content

Here is the special joke: On the right side of the image, a hallway is visible that apparently leads to the toilet. In front of it hangs a sign that says, “No recording, no photography from this point forward.”

With this, DrDisrespect references the reason for his ban: he filmed from the toilets at E3 2019 and was apparently temporarily banned from Twitch because of it.

DrDisrespect-Toilette
“No recording, no photography from this point forward.” Source: Dexerto

How long will DrDisrespect’s Twitch ban last?

When will DrDisrespect return to Twitch? This is not exactly clear. The streamer himself surely knows, but he has not made it public. Presumably, to play with the fans’ anticipation.

If it had been a “short” penalty, as initially thought, DrDisrespect would have been back a long time ago, so it must be a longer suspension:

  • The ban was issued on June 12, 2019
  • the usual ban duration on Twitch is 14 days or 30 days

Accordingly, the return of the doctor would be possible either in the next few days if he received a 14-day ban.

With a month-long ban, he would be back on Twitch from July 12, 2019.

Twitch-Disrespect
This is how DrDisrespect showed his regret at the end of 2017.

Has he ever been away longer? DrDisrespect had taken a longer break from Twitch at the end of 2017 because he was unfaithful to his wife. When he announced the break, he did so without his usual outfit and in a serious tone.

In February 2018, DrDisrespect returned to Twitch, fully suited up. The “return” stream broke records back then.

One can assume that the streamer’s return to Twitch this time would be similarly successful and that he would stage it even more spectacularly.

Update June 26: The Twitch ban of DrDisrespect has ended.

With the Maneater update, women are now introduced into the online shooter SCUM. And yes, you can adjust their breast size.

What is SCUM? The online shooter SCUM is still in Early Access and places you as a prisoner on an island. There, you fight for your freedom in a perverse TV show. The conflicts are a matter of life and death. Only those who survive are free.

Women Can Be Evil Too

Why are women coming into the game now? Until now, it was only possible to create a male prisoner. However, since women can also be mean, the fans of the shooter wanted to be able to play as female prisoners. And the team now fulfills this wish for the players.

What about the customization of women? SCUM places great importance on allowing you to create your character as detailed as possible. This is not limited to the face and body type. For example, you can give your prisoner tattoos and you can even adjust the penis size.

Currently, these customizations for women are not as pronounced.

  • You currently choose only between three faces
  • Tattoos are not yet possible but will be added later
  • However, you can individually adjust the breast size of female prisoners using a slider
  • The developers have stated that there are still some secret customization options that you will have to discover – Apparently, there are uncensored female character models
  • The body type of women changes over time, just like with male characters. If you eat too much, you will get fat or even have a heart attack
SCUM Screenshot Women
In the online shooter SCUM, you can now create women as characters.

What else does the update bring? The Maneater update introduces further innovations and adjustments.

  • The game’s performance has been improved
  • The shooter now runs more stably
  • You can now build a rudimentary base and erect defense installations. This feature will be expanded over time
  • Male characters can now have beards. You decide how your prisoner’s beard should look
  • The inventory system has been revised
  • Cars can now be repaired
  • A new mission system is making its way into the game, starting with tutorial missions
  • There are safe zones with discos
  • A lot of bug fixes
SCUM Screenshot Beards
You can now also give your male characters beards in SCUM.

A Good Update

What does the community think of the Maneater update? Players find the Maneater update quite good so far. In particular, it is well received that the women do not look overly sexy like in other online games. They are simply female prisoners and do not have to be beautiful. This increases the realism.

How is SCUM doing currently? On Steam, the shooter currently has a rating of 55%. This is due to some balancing issues and, according to some fans, the developers not doing enough against griefers. There are high-level players who want to ruin the fun for others by hunting them.

However, according to Steamcharts, player numbers are steadily increasing and peak numbers in the last 30 days have been at 7,263 players.

Pokémon GO shows map of the Dortmund GO Fest, but players are disappointed

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO has released the map for the Dortmund GO Fest. It shows the habitats and team lounges. Many fans are disappointed so far.

What can be seen? On Twitter , Niantic shared an image of the map. The following items are marked:

  • The 4 habitats of the GO Fest
  • 3 team lounges
  • 4 information stands
  • Sights of Westfalenpark
  • The Niantic garden

Niantic wants to provide a look at the information stands that you can use. This is not yet a final map that you will be handed during the GO Fest.

This is what the map looks like that Niantic shared

This is how the map is received by the players

What do the fans say about it? Many players are disappointed with the map so far. Comparing the map with the GO Fest in Chicago, there seemed to be much more there.

In Chicago, for example, there were 5 habitats. In Dortmund, only 4 have been confirmed so far. Additionally, the park in Chicago was significantly smaller than Westfalenpark, yet there was more to see and the paths between the areas were not too large.

On Twitter, the reactions from the players are therefore rather negative. “abyssinier” writes in response to Niantic’s post: “Compared to the map from Chicago, this looks disappointing. I know it’s the first GO Fest in Germany, but a little more effort could have been made.”

https://twitter.com/K33P_C00L/status/1143092156418154496

Can anything change on the map? This map is not final yet. More details are likely to come. Whether more habitats will be added remains to be seen. If there are only 4 habitats, then we can look forward to the following Pokémon types:

  • Rocky Terrain: Rock and Ground
  • Boat Lake: Water
  • Mysterious Woods: Fairy, Bug, and Grass
  • Steel Factory: Steel

Hearthstone bans 2 old cards, immediately brings 10 new ones

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Rogues and Priests must say goodbye to 2 cards in Hearthstone . But don’t worry – there are plenty of replacements!

In recent months, Blizzard has been more open regarding class balancing and small changes within an expansion cycle of Hearthstone. These changes will also be maintained. Blizzard has now revealed that Hearthstone will ban two more cards from the “Classic” set. But don’t worry – a total of 10 cards will find their way into the game.

These two cards will be removed: Two cards are moving to the “Hall of Fame” and will not be playable in the ranked mode anymore. This includes the spell “Vanish” from the rogue as well as the Mind Spike from the priest.

The reasoning is that both spells do not truly fit the class identity of their respective class and would restrict the design of new cards. To prevent this, the cards will be moved to the Hall of Fame.

These two cards have replacements: To ensure that the number of available cards for priests and rogues does not decrease, there are two cards as compensation.

Priests receive the spell Radiance, which restores a total of 5 health points to their hero for 1 mana.

Rogues on the other hand receive the minion Plaguebringer. For 4 mana, it has the stats 3/3 and also makes a friendly minion poisonous.

Eight new cards in Classic packs: But there are even more innovations. A total of 8 new cards will be added to the Classic set. They can then be drawn from classic packs with the next patch or crafted with Arcane Dust.

Warlocks receive the Siegebreaker. A 5/8 demon for 7 mana with Taunt, which grants all other demons of the player +1 attack.

Druids receive the spell Gift of the Wild. For 8 mana, the spell grants all allied minions +2/+2 and Taunt. Perfect for strengthening an army of Treants.

Paladins receive Righteousness. For 5 mana, the spell grants all of the Paladin’s minions Divine Shield.

A neutral, legendary minion is Brightwing. This dragon costs 3 mana and has only the stats of 3/2. However, it has an interesting Battlecry, which ensures that you get a random legendary minion into your hand.

Also neutral and legendary is High Inquisitor Whitemane. She is a 6/8 minion for 7 mana with a powerful Battlecry: She squo;s resurrects all friendly allies that died this turn.

For 7 mana, the new Barrens Stablehand awaits. It is a 4/4 minion that summons a random beast with its Battlecry.

The SI:7 Infiltrator is a 5/4 minion for only 4 mana that destroys a random enemy secret with its Battlecry.

Lastly, the Arcane Devourer. An elemental for 8 mana with base stats of 5/5. However, it receives +2/+2 each time the player casts a spell.

When is the patch coming? There is still no exact date for the update. The changes are set to go live “with the next major patch”. However, when that will be has not yet been announced.

What do you think about the removal of the two cards? How do you like the new cards?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the big event “14 Days of Summer” is approaching. It brings you new challenges and weapons that have been removed from the game by Epic. We provide you with an overview.

What kind of event is this? The big summer event was already found in the last patch, and now that Epic is going into summer break, it starts in Fortnite.

A similar event is known from the Christmas season, but this time everything is supposed to be much bigger.

When does it start? “14 Days of Summer” starts tomorrow, on June 25. As the name suggests, it will last for 14 days.

14 Days of Fortnite – What you can look forward to

What will there be? Epic will publish a list of all the things you can experience in the event. There will be:

  • Every day a weapon that has actually been removed from Fortnite will be available in the game for 24 hours
  • A new LTM every day
  • A daily challenge that gives you a free reward
  • New skins and more in the in-game shop
  • A new featured island in Creative mode every day
  • A new mission in Save the World every day
https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1143147642458955776

What weapons could come? Epic has already removed numerous weapons from the game. Now, they are bringing one of these weapons back every day. Which ones exactly are not known.

Known representatives of these “forbidden” weapons include the Infinity Sword and the popular shotgun that was removed from the game with Season 9.

What LTMs will come? The Limited Time Modes are already known for the event. Epic has published a list of all LTMs on their website and shows you what they bring.

Many LTMs will be focused on the summer. For example, in “Storm Chaser: Wave Rider,” you will ride a huge wave and knock each other off with impulse grenades.

A water battle is also supposed to come. There, you will be able to knock each other off with water balloons.

What is known about the challenges? These tasks will be similar to those in “14 Days of Fortnite” at Christmas. There was a small challenge to complete every day that brought you free items. If you completed all tasks, there was a big reward.

For “14 Days of Summer,” the tasks have already been leaked. There could be a lot of summer fun waiting for you.

What do you think of the event? Which weapons do you wish to come back?
