Amazon announces some new games, lays off employees on the last day of E3

Schuhmann 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

According to new reports, Amazon removed dozens of employees from their gaming projects and effectively laid them off on the last day of E3 2019. However, the fallout is soft. Amazon has canceled some gaming projects. The survival MMO New World is safe.

Where does the news come from? The US site Kotaku received the information from a source at Amazon Game Studios, who was laid off themselves.

Amazon has confirmed the layoffs in a statement but did not disclose how many game developers were removed from their projects or which specific games in development were canceled.

The interesting thing is that the news surfaced on the last day of E3 2019.

This is what is happening at Amazon now: Amazon laid off “dozens of employees” on Thursday morning, effectively removing them from their current gaming projects.

The employees now have the opportunity to seek new positions within Amazon. If they do not find new employment at Amazon within 60 days, they will receive a severance package.

In addition, Amazon has canceled several “unannounced projects”.

This is what Amazon says: They say they are “reorganizing some teams” to give more attention to the development of New World and Crucible and to prioritize “new unannounced projects” that they are excited to unveil in the future.

Such maneuvers are normal in business planning, as long-term goals change. They are now working closely with affected employees to secure them new positions at Amazon.

That is why New World by Amazon is in a unique position

von Alexander Leitsch

How is gaming going at Amazon? Amazon has been aiming to enter gaming since 2014, but has faced difficulties.

Amazon presented its first three gaming projects in autumn 2016:

Breakaway, which was a kind of “action sports game”, but it was canceled as early as 2017
New World, is the survival MMO – although much has been heard about it, little has been seen. The game is still under NDA. However, it is expected to feature gigantic dimensions due to Amazon’s impressive server technology.
Crucible (cover image) is a third-person action game. Very little is known about the game.

Joe Smedley von Sony — He is developing something at Amazon, MMORPG pioneer John Smedley.

It is assumed that all future games from Amazon are tailored primarily for the streaming platform Twitch. Because that belongs to Amazon.

Also, their Lumberyard Engine is aimed at streaming, with which the games are developed.

However, several high-profile hires have left Amazon before their games were released, as Kotaku reports:

including Far Cry 2 Director Clint Hocking
and Portal Director Kim Swift

One who still works at Amazon (as far as we know) and whom we have followed at MeinMMO is the “father of Everquest” John Smedley.

FIFA 19 TOTS: The Ligue 1 Team of the Season – with Neymar

Julian Schröder 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The TOTS event in FIFA 19 continues and brings next Team of the Season from Ligue 1. You can find out what the team looks like here.

The Ligue 1 TOTS: The Team of the Season of the first French league is the last TOTS of a major European league. EA Sports was responsible for selecting the players, and this is what the team looks like:

The Ligue 1 Team of the Season

The strongest cards in the Ligue 1 TOTS: Really strong new TOTS cards are received by Neymar (98), Pepe (96), and Mbappe (96). But Di Maria (95), Thiago Silva (95), and Cavani have also received decent TOTS cards.

Players from the Rest of the World

Other players: This week EA Sports will release more TOTS cards of players from South America. Including players from these leagues: Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile.

Starting eleven:

GK: Benitez (93)
CB: Marquinhos (95)
RB: Lala (94)
CB: Jose Fonte (91)
CAM: Neymar (98)
RM: Pepe (96)
CM: Verrati (94)
CDM: Savanier (93)
CDM: Thiago Mendes (92)
ST: Mbappe (96)
LW: Di Maria (95)

Substitutes:

GK: Maignan (89)
CB: Thiago Silva (95)
RB: Atal (89)
LB: Mendy (92)
RM: Thauvin (93)
ST: Cavani (95)
ST: Khazri (88)
LM: Bamba (90)
ST: Delort (89)

This is the new TOTS card of Neymar: After his TOTY card Neymar also receives a TOTS card in FUT 19. This one is even one point stronger than the TOTY version.

It is noticeable that Neymar’s new TOTS card has changed position to CAM. This makes this card even more versatile.

In direct comparison, Neymar’s new TOTS card has increased almost everywhere by one point in rating. The biggest and most important boost is, however, in the physical stat:

Physical: 80 -> 86

How to get the new TOTS cards

From packs: As always, TOTS cards can be in these packs:

Gold Pack (5,000 coins)
Premium Gold Pack (7,500 coins)
or from other special and promo packs

To actually pull a good TOTS card from packs, a lot of luck is required. Therefore, you should rather use the transfer market.

What you need to pay attention to in the transfer market: You should always keep an eye on the prices of TOTS players on the transfer market. These are particularly high in the first days of a new TOTS.

Therefore, it is best to wait with the purchase of a TOTS player, as prices tend to drop after a few days.

What exactly is the Team of the Season?

This is how the event works: The Team of the Season (TOTS) concludes the FUT season every year and is the biggest and most important event in FIFA Ultimate Team for many FUT players. This event brings a variety of blue, significantly improved cards into the game.

The TOTS cards are that strong: The TOTS event offers many FUT players the opportunity to play with real endgame cards. And the cards are indeed impressive.

For the top stars of the big leagues, upgrades of 6-10 points in overall rating are not uncommon.

Otherwise, the TOTS cards behave like Inform cards. While a TOTS team is active, the TOTS versions replace the normal gold cards.

Shroud is considered the shooter expert on Twitch – Here’s what he says about the new Fallout 76

Benedict Grothaus 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch star Shroud is known for playing challenging shooters and showcasing them to his large audience. Now, the former CS professional apparently has a new favorite game: Fallout 76.

This is what Shroud says about Fallout 76: Shroud seems to be excited about Fallout 76. Since June 12, he has completed two streams where he showed about 9 hours of gameplay from Fallout 76.

He often speaks highly of the game and especially the new battle royale mode, Nuclear Winter. After his last stream, he even said:

God, I want to play more, but I can’t. I’ll play again tomorrow, no problem. It’s fun, man, there’s something special about just hanging around and building random classes and all that. Oh boy!

Why is Shroud even playing Fallout?

Here’s Shroud’s decision: Shroud actually plays shooters on Twitch, and in recent weeks Apex Legends has become his main game. However, this has particularly troubled him lately due to a now-fixed bug.

Nevertheless, Shroud announced on June 10 via Twitter that Fallout 76 would become his new main game. What sounded like a joke to many users now seems to be true for at least a while.

One of the reasons for the decision might also be that Fallout 76 is available for free for a week due to the new mode. Until June 17, you can play Fallout 76 in full and test the “Nuclear Winter” mode.

This is what the new mode offers: At E3 2019, Bethesda presented a new feature of the upcoming “Nuclear Winter” update for Fallout 76: The eponymous battle royale mode. In this, 52 players compete for the title of overseer of Vault 51.

The game combines the classic gameplay and weapons of Fallout 76, which can be found everywhere, team play in squads of up to four, and a building system that somewhat resembles that of Fortnite.

What’s particularly interesting about the mode is that atomic bombs can also be launched. Additionally, you level up with each victory and receive new perks for the mode, cosmetics, and rewards for the adventure mode of Fallout 76.

If you’re not interested in battle royale, the autumn update “Wastelanders” has something in store for you:

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will apparently be supplied with updates until 2020 – But not longer

Schuhmann 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In September 2019, a major expansion for PS4 and Xbox One titled Monster Hunter World will be released with Iceborne. It is expected to arrive later on Steam and PC. Capcom states that Iceborne will continue to receive further updates after the release. It looks like there will be a few monsters to hunt in 2020, but it is not intended to be a game for eternity.

This is the plan: As revealed at E3 2019, Capcom intends to support the Iceborne expansion with “multiple major updates” just as they did with Monster Hunter World.

Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto told the site PCGamesN.

Monster-Hunter-World-Iceborn-Story-Trailer1

What’s included in the updates? Capcom hasn’t revealed that yet. It seems they don’t know themselves.

The producer states: “It is often better if the game launches first, you see the feedback from players, and then decide what kind of update you need to make and what kind of changes are appropriate. But this will not only be bug fixes, but also comfort improvements and balance changes.”

Major updates planned after launch

Are there only minor updates? Tsujimoto says, “We want to provide a large post-launch cycle with a lot of content to keep players engaged with the game for a long time.”

But not a game for 5 to 10 years

But that’s not the case: He also says, Monster Hunter World Iceborne is “not a games-as-a-service” title, and there are no plans to support a single title for five or ten years.

However, they want to ensure that it is not just the release, and then it’s over.

Capcom will stick to the strategy used with Monster Hunter World and release updates after the launch.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne brings mounts and they are small monsters

von Schuhmann

This is how it was at release: At launch, Capcom had prepared content for about three-quarters of a year with events, patches, and new monsters. However, the flow of content has gradually diminished.

Highlights included some crossover events with other Capcom titles and The Witcher. New rewards were also introduced.

It seems we can expect that Monster Hunter World Iceborne will keep us engaged with new content for several months.

If it follows the pattern of Monster Hunter World, players on PS4 and Xbox One can expect new content for Iceborne until around mid-2020.

And who knows, perhaps a new installment in the series will be ready soon, after Monster Hunter World was such a success in the West.

Pokémon GO shows 3 interesting Pokémon on a new loading screen

Noah Struthoff 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The GO Fest in Chicago for Pokémon GO is in full swing and a new loading screen has been shown there. Several interesting Pokémon can be seen.

Where does the loading screen come from? Throughout the area of the GO Fest, there are PokéStops that show old loading screens. However, there is also a stop that gives a glimpse of the upcoming summer and likely shows the next loading screen.

The loading screens always provide a rough insight into the theme that is currently interesting in Pokémon GO. For example, together with Farbigeagle, the current screen was introduced. You can also see a photobomb, as it is important for Farbigeagle.

This is shown on the new loading screen

What can be seen in the picture? The image can only be seen at the PokéStop. Thus, it is not possible to see everything that the upcoming loading screen will likely show.

However, you can already recognize 3 Pokémon that are quite interesting:

Kaumalat
Vesprit
Selfe

Additionally, you can see the following Pokémon:

Wailmer
Enton
Seejong

What could be coming our way? Players now suspect that the legendary lake trio will return to raids in the summer. This was previously regional and we could only catch Vesprit in Germany.

It is quite conceivable that the Pokémon will rotate, meaning we will have the chance to catch Tobutz and Selfe.

Kaumalat also makes many players hopeful. The pre-evolution of Knakrack is currently extremely rare and only a few players already possess this Pokémon.

Thus, there could be an event centered around Kaumalat that could increase the spawns of this Pokémon.

Is a Water Event coming? If we look at the other Pokémon in the picture, we only see water Pokémon. This could indeed indicate a water event. It would certainly fit the theme of beach and vacation.

When will the loading screen arrive? So far, there is only this small insight during the GO Fest. However, summer is slowly starting, so we can certainly expect the new loading screen soon.

Currently, there is also an event that causes these 19 Pokémon to spawn more frequently:

Dota Underlords: How to start the download and play the new game by Valve

Alexander Leitsch 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Valve, the company behind Steam, announced today the beta of Dota Underlords. This is the standalone of the Auto Chess mod. The download of the game is a bit more complicated, and we will tell you what you need to do.

What is Dota Underlords? Dota Underlords is Valve’s answer to the current “Auto Chess” hype. The original mod was developed for Dota 2, but the independent studio behind it, Drodo Games, has become independent. In the meantime, the studio has released a mobile version and announced its own PC version.

That’s why Valve announced a few weeks ago its own Auto Chess, which can now be tested in the form of Dota Underlords in an initial beta.

However, not everyone can access Underlords yet.

How do I install the beta of Dota Underlords? To gain access to the first beta of Dota Underlords, you need a Dota Battle Pass. This can only be purchased in Dota 2 itself. So, you first need to download the free game from Steam.

There are several versions of the pass available in the shop. You are only interested in “The International 2019 Battle Pass” for 8.75 euros. If you activate the pass in the main menu, Underlords will also be available to you there as a private beta.

There you can add it to your Steam library and then download it.

Will Dota Underlords be paid? To participate in the first beta phase of Underlords, you need the Battle Pass, but the game itself will later be free to play.

The open beta is expected to start in about a week and will be available for PC (Windows, Mac, Linux), Android, and iOS. With this beta, ranked matches and crossplay between all systems will also be activated.

But not only Valve and Drodo Games are currently working on Auto Chess, Riot also wants to release a version for League of Legends:

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

Benedict Grothaus 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The new battle royale mode “Nuclear Winter” is currently entertaining players in Fallout 76. One of the developers has now come forward and revealed a trick that makes winning easier, but hardly anyone pays attention to it.

What is this trick? Developer Marc Tardif talked about the possibilities players have in the new battle royale of Fallout 76 . One of these possibilities is apparently forgotten by players, especially the veterans of the game: blueprints.

In the new battle royale, players are allowed to set up a C.A.M.P., similar to the structures in Fortnite. Unlike the competitor, however, in Fallout 76, blueprints for a C.A.M.P. can already be saved in adventure mode.

If you create a blueprint in adventure mode, you can easily set it up in Nuclear Winter with a click without having to painstakingly connect all the parts individually.

How to use blueprints correctly

What are blueprints? Blueprints are saved templates for camps that you can set up. They represent all the components that you have built in your C.A.M.P.

With a blueprint, you can easily place a saved C.A.M.P. somewhere in the world if space and terrain allow it. The corresponding parts are either taken from storage or built directly from available resources.

To create a blueprint, you first need to set up your C.A.M.P. as desired. Then, in edit mode, a button will be displayed at the bottom that allows you to save the blueprints. This differs depending on the platform.

You will find the blueprints when editing under the “Blueprints” tab, which is located quite early in the selection.

These blueprints are worth it: With the blueprints, you can create crazy C.A.M.P.s. To have decent blueprints available in battle royale, we have some basic tips for you to quickly and easily set up a good camp:

build as small a foundation as possible and expand it upwards. Small foundations collide less often with the ground
allocate a large part of the budget for turrets. These will help you the most in Nuclear Winter
consider a small “safe room” where you can retreat if you are being besieged
design the blueprint so that opponents cannot easily invade without being stopped by defensive structures
remember that you also need a way to enter the camp. Blocking everything is also not ideal

If you want to try it out, you can still play both adventure mode and Nuclear Winter for free until June 17:

New heroes in Marvel’s Avengers are available for free – What does one pay for?

Patrick Freese 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The action-adventure with superheroes, Marvel’s Avengers, aims to provide content for years to come. But how is it financed? What can microtransactions unlock?

What is available for free in the game? Marvel’s Avengers will continue to receive content after its release. Important for players are new superheroes that will be unlocked for free.

At launch, the 5 heroes

Iron Man
Hulk
Captain America
Black Widow
and Thor

are available.

Confirmed for a later release is also the character Ant-Man. Developer Crystal Dynamics stated that new superheroes will not require payment.

It is also clear that the game world in Marvel’s Avengers will be expanded with new regions after the launch. These new regions are, according to the developers, available for free.

What can you pay for? Eurogamer conducted an interview with two employees of Crystal Dynamics. Philippe Therien (Lead Designer) and Rose Hunt (Senior Producer).

The question was raised whether they would sell Iron Man skins to balance out the generous business model.

Philippe Therien responded: “We haven’t discussed what will be monetized yet. What’s important, however, is that new heroes or regions will not cost you anything when they are released.”

Rose Hunt adds: “We can say yes, you will be able to customize your hero with different skins and outfits. But this will never have any effect on gameplay. You will never find yourself in a situation where you have to pay to play.”

“We are also not doing loot boxes,” explains Therien.

There should also be further aesthetic customization options, like the Player Card. But none of this is supposed to influence gameplay.

This is how Marvel’s Avengers will ensure that every Iron Man is different

von Patrick Freese

How can characters be visually customized? Therien explains in the interview that outfits in Marvel’s Avengers can be customized. This way, they can appeal more to those who like the comic versions of the heroes. Others, who prefer the more current versions of the superheroes.

“There will be something for everyone, and there are many options to customize your heroes.”

Why are heroes and regions free? By selling new heroes or regions, the developers could generate revenue. But they do not want to go this route. The background is a social aspect:

” […] it is important for us to say this. We want to ensure that you can always play with your friends and jump in at any time.”

Guardians easily grab top weapon in Destiny 2 that would otherwise take them days

Micha Deckert 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The new Season 7 in Destiny 2 has again brought new top weapons. All PvE fans should be excited about one weapon: the grenade launcher Wendigo GL3. The quest for this weapon is elaborate, but players have already found a way to shorten the grind.

Which weapon are we talking about? In Season 7, there are again new top weapons. In the Vanguard, there is an absolute top weapon to grab this new Season 7: the legendary grenade launcher Wendigo GL3.

The grenade launcher deals Arc damage and fires flashbangs. Collected Spheres of Light increase the explosion radius and damage.

The Wendigo GL3 is doing so well this season, that it even finds a spot in one of the best PvE loadouts. The grenade launcher is considered the currently best and strongest legendary power weapon.

The Wendigo GL3 is the top weapon of the Vanguard in Season 7

What do you need to do for the weapon? The weapon is available through a quest line from Zavala. In the inventory of the Vanguard Titan, you can grab the legendary quest “A Gift for the Worthy,” which begins the task.

The quest requires you to achieve grenade launcher multikills and grenade launcher kills in playlist strikes:

You need to score 15,000 points. You achieve this by killing enemies with a grenade launcher.
Receive 1,500 grenade launcher kills
Complete 500 grenade launcher multikills

After that, you can collect the Wendigo GL3 from Zavala. You have earned it.

This task should keep you well occupied this season. However, clever players have found out how to obtain the weapon in just a few hours.

destiny-2-zavala — Zavala wants more grenade launcher kills from you!

How do Guardians easily get the weapon? Some Guardians are currently easing the grind for the grenade launcher with a “cheese.” This is an “alternative” method to quickly rack up many kills for the Wendigo.

Instead of following the strike, players simply go into the Blind Well, where they encounter many enemies. The Guardians proceed as follows:

Choose a fireteam of three players
Start the Vanguard playlist
Exit and restart the playlist until you receive the strike “The Corrupted”
Do not follow the strike but go to the Blind Well in the Dreaming City
Play the Well until you have completed all tasks for the quest. You can find out how to master the heroic challenge of the Well here.

The kills for the task also count in the Blind Well.

Since the strike “The Corrupted” and the Blind Well are located in the same area, the kills seem to count in this activity as well. Whether Bungie is aware of this or if it was intended is not known.

For this task, the exotic grenade launcher Thunderlord is particularly suitable. This uses primary ammo, which is even generated by the weapon upon kills.

As a Warlock, the Lunafaction Boots are useful. With these boots, the class rifts gain the additional ability to automatically reload allies’ weapons.

In Destiny, the quest for the Truth has also started. You can read here how to obtain the exotic weapon:

Crowfall trennt sich von deutschem Partner, bringt MMORPG selbst in Europa heraus

Andreas Bertits 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

After Travian Games has already parted ways with the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar, now Crowfall is next. The developers want to take care of the distribution of the online game in Europe themselves in the future.

What is Crowfall? Crowfall is an MMORPG with a special premise: you are essentially not in a persistent world, but travel in time-limited campaigns from one dying world to another to gather resources. You need these to continue building your eternal kingdom.

On the dying worlds, massive battles take place between players, including sieges.

Travian and Artcraft part ways

What did Travian Games have to do with Crowfall? In 2016, the German company Travian Games announced it had entered into a partnership with Artcraft Entertainment. Travian wanted to handle the marketing and distribution of the MMORPG Crowfall in Europe.

What has happened now? Artcraft announced that the partnership with Travian has ended. No reasons were given, but it is said to have been a decision made by mutual consent.

What does this mean for the MMORPG? Since June 13, Artcraft has been taking care of the distribution and marketing of the online game themselves. The players are likely to notice little of this. European players are now dealing with the support of the developer instead of Travian.

Why does this sound familiar? In November 2018, Portalarium and Travian announced the end of their partnership regarding the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar. Travian also took over the distribution and support for SotA in Europe.

Players have many questions

What do the players think about this? There is already a lot of speculation about this decision in the official forum. What led to this? Some questions remain open.

Kraahk asked: “Can you tell us what this means for the localization of the game and the support for players who do not speak English?”

Belantis speculates: “Was Travian perhaps bothered by the long development time? Or did Artcraft not get enough money from Travian?”

According to Artcraft, nothing should change, as the studio has already been taking care of a lot. So this announcement apparently means no major adjustment for Crowfall fans.

LoL: Twitch streamer decides the match with a brilliant suicide play

Schuhmann 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer TF Blade secured a victory in League of Legends with a clever suicide play. Players are currently discussing this and the “remake system” of LoL.

This is the standard practice: There is a “remake” system in League of Legends. Before a match has really started, a team can forfeit and request a “restart” without fearing any consequences. This does not count as a loss.

This is possible when a player is missing from the team who has not yet intervened in the match. The system serves as a kind of “AFK protection.”

The logic behind the remake system: It is unfair for a match to start with 4 against 5, then it is clear who will win.

Here was the situation: In a LoL match, the jungler of a team essentially “mis-skilled.” He took a teleport instead of smite – Smite is essential for the jungler role.

The jungler was now AFK and wanted to force a log out so that his team would only have four members left and they could utilize LoL’s “remake” system.

In the first 33 seconds of this video, you can see the streamer’s play.

This was the genius play: The streamer “TF Blade” utilized the information that the opposing team was discussing in chat that someone was AFK and they wanted to “re-make” the game.

TF Blade snuck into the opposing team’s base, where the “mis-skilled jungler” Lee Sin was still at the entry point. Here, TF Blade then threw himself at the opponent and died next to the AFK player.

This allowed him to gain experience points, and the game could no longer be “restarted.”

This is how it continued. The match was quickly finished. After 10 minutes, the team of TF Blade emerged victorious.

The opponents essentially gave up because they suspected they had no chance of turning the match around.

This is being discussed: In the subreddit for LoL, this play is currently being discussed. It is being talked about controversially:

It is said that one should never tell the other team that someone is AFK – so they don’t pull such stunts
This would not be “fair play” from TF Blade
It is “a bit rude,” but very funny, says a third

In general, the remake system in League of Legends is being discussed. Some see weaknesses in it.

TF Blade was temporarily banned from Twitch because it was thought he had used a racist term.

The 12 most important multiplayer games still to be released in 2019

Since E3 2019, several new release dates have been known, and many highly anticipated multiplayer games are even coming this year. We present to you the games that are scheduled to be released in 2019 according to the latest data.

[toc]

Which games make it to the list? We have limited our selection to games that offer a multiplayer aspect and sound the most promising so far. In addition, they must have a confirmed release date for 2019, at least tentatively.

In our list, not only new games appear, but also expansions and similar content that give a game a completely new aspect and thus represent an important part of the game that should be acknowledged.

Scavengers is a new online shooter with a fascinating idea

Andreas Bertits 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The online shooter Scavengers combines coop with PvP and survival, aiming to always give you a goal before a major final battle occurs. The concept sounds very exciting.

What is Scavengers? The online shooter places you in the future. The moon is destroyed, which has turned Earth into an ice wasteland. You live on a space station managed by an AI called Mother. Mother sends the Scavengers to Earth at regular intervals to seek resources for the survival of the people on the station.

A coop PvP shooter with survival elements

How does Scavengers play? The online shooter combines coop with survival and PvP. Some battle royale elements also find their way into the game. The SpatialOS technology is supposed to provide a diverse world.

You select one of several classes
In groups of players, you go to Earth
There, you must survive, as snowstorms can become very dangerous
You collect resources and search for equipment and weapons
You can upgrade your equipment with shards found in the world
On Earth, there are still bandits who have built fortresses. You must confront them
Teamplay is essential in your group
There are other Scavenger groups that collect resources. You are in competition with them
In the end, you must try to bring your resources to the spaceship that Mother sends down from the station first
A massive battle erupts around the ship, which feels a bit like battle royale
The winning group gets to enjoy special rewards
You can also upgrade your heroes to have better chances in future missions

scavengers_concept_2 — Scavengers, a loot shooter developed with SpatialOS.

A shooter with unique features

What makes Scavengers so special? The developer studio Midwinter wants to give you a task at all times. There should be no downtime during missions. You always know exactly what to do or will be confronted with a fight.

Moreover, you can adapt to your environment. Over time, you will learn where locations for ambushes are and where to be most cautious. Nevertheless, chance always plays a role. Every match is supposed to be different.

The classes are important. You should aim for a balanced team of supporters, melee, and ranged fighters. Supporters, for example, can craft weapons from junk, making them very useful.

Survival plays a role because you need to keep warm and protect yourself from the weather. Those who warm up by a fire receive a buff.

It is also possible for you to team up with other teams. However, you should not necessarily trust them. When it comes to the final battle, everyone wants to be the winner.

Additionally, an invasion by the alien Scourge may occur, leading to interesting events.

When is Scavengers coming out? Currently, there is no release date for the game. However, it is supposed to be released as a free-to-play title and will be regularly expanded with more content.

Story chief contradicts report that CoD: Modern Warfare has already been censored

Schuhmann 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), according to a media report, a dialogue line was removed even before the launch. Some fans feared censorship. The game’s Narrative Director opposes this claim: There is no censorship, and no compromises are being made.

This was the media report: On Tuesday, a report from Kotaku (via Kotaku) was published about a preview event at the E3 2019 related to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

The author focused primarily on a scene where a Russian soldier held a girl and declared loudly that they would deliver her to his superior, who “is into young girls.”

Modern Warfare: Child — In a scene from Modern Warfare, you play as a child.

The journalist confronted the Design Director with this statement and asked why sexual violence and pedophilia were included in the game.

He replied that Call of Duty Modern Warfare aims to depict the horrors of war.

However, the author claims that the PR team assured her afterward that this line would be removed from the game. It would no longer be present in the final game.

The PR team stated that initially, the line “He is into young girls” was meant to hint at a later development of the story – but that development would also no longer be in the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

E3 2019: How Call of Duty: Modern Warfare wants to be 100% realistic

von Tarek Zehrer

Some are shouting: Censorship!

This is how the fans reacted: This report has caught some in the Modern Warfare community by surprise. For them, the statement from the PR team is evidence that Infinity Ward will censor itself and is not telling the horrors of war as uncompromisingly as they had announced during the reveal.

This can be followed, for example, in comments on our article on MeinMMO. A reader named pretender xxx says:

“Well, there we have it. The censorship rumors are true. They can stick their game where the sun doesn’t shine.”

After initial reactions from journalists, some feared that the public would demand censorship. Now players see themselves confirmed in this fear.

Story Chief: No Censorship, No Compromises

This is what the Narrative Director says now: Confronted with these statements, the Narrative Director of Infinity Ward, Taylor Kurosaki, takes a different tone on Twitter.

He says:

“We do not make compromises.”
“We would never censor. Those are just rumors. They are not true.”
“No censorship. Never. All we do is polish and sharpen the story to make it the best campaign you’ve ever played.”

Does the Story Chief contradict his own PR Team?

This is what it’s about: The interesting thing here is that Kurosaki does not say the controversial dialogue line is still in the game.

He merely states that it has not been “censored.”

So he contradicts the journalist in her conclusion that the line was removed for “moral reasons.”

We will see if the campaign indeed contains references to pedophiles and rape.

So will Call of Duty Modern Warfare die Welt schockieren

It’s quite possible that both are right and that PR and the Story Chief do not contradict each other:

The dialogue line was removed, but only because it no longer fits the “plot,” not for any other reasons.

We will see if the campaign indeed contains references to pedophiles and rape.

Players discover secret new map on weapon skin in Apex Legends – What now?

Jürgen Horn 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Apex Legends currently has only one map. However, that may change soon. Dataminers have found a map on a weapon skin that hints at new areas and even more monsters.

What has the dataminer found? Dataminers have taken a closer look at a skin for a weapon. The skin “The Navigator” looked somehow strange, with its irregular lines and markings. Almost like an old map.

And indeed, the skin seems to be exactly that: When unfolded, it reveals a larger map. On it, you can see a landmass that appears to be unknown at first glance, presumably located on the planet Solace. This is the home of the legends Gibraltar and Mirage.

New Map and New Monsters on Weapon Skin Map

What can be seen on the map? If you look closely, you can see a few mountains and a crown on the southern island. That could be the current map King’s Canyon. Although it is an island in the game, perhaps the map is an earlier state of the area before it was remodeled into a battle royale arena.

However, there are many more areas around King’s Canyon. Respawn Entertainment may thus want to add a lot more.

These are the hints for more monsters: Almost more exciting than the new areas on the map are the markings for monsters. Known leviathans are already stomping in the water. They are currently roaming around the known Apex map.

Furthermore, it seems that the feared flyers known from Titanfall inhabit the northern map. The fact that these creatures are coming to Apex is considered quite certain after dataminers found voice lines related to them in the code and they were seen recently in a video teaser for Season 2.

However, new is a third type of creature that could be identified as a “Prowler.” These are tiger-like predators that also appeared in Titanfall and are considered particularly dangerous. A marking for these beasts is actually quite close to the supposed King’s Canyon.

It seems that there will soon be quite a lot of PvE action in Apex Legends.

How is the best MMORPG that we cannot play?

Andreas Bertits 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Many MMORPG fans are currently waiting for Lost Ark. It is already playable in Korea. But the situation has since changed there. What happened?

Which MMORPG is it about? Lost Ark by Smilegate has thrilled players since the first trailers. The game looks really good, is dynamic, and combines the action-packed fights and gameplay perspective of Diablo with the complex mechanics and depth of a classic MMORPG.

A Highly Anticipated MMORPG

How has the mood been so far? Those who were able to participate in the Korean beta have shown enthusiasm so far. It sparked a huge hype in Korea when the Open Beta launched in October. Lost Ark was overwhelmed.

Lost Ark plays smoothly and looks great
It offers plenty of content and interesting group activities, essentially merging the MMORPG genre with Diablo 3
You explore a vast world
The battles are action-packed yet tactical

Therefore, anticipation has been rising for a long time to finally be able to play it in Europe.

Lost Ark: Oh great, now there’s a great MMORPG, but not for us

von Schuhmann

What is the current status of the MMORPG? Lost Ark is getting a major update in Korea next week, introducing new content and another continent. The developers are taking care of the game and regularly providing fans with content.

The Mood is Declining

What is the current mood? You can sense that enthusiasm is waning. Players here are getting a bit impatient because they have been waiting too long and there is no launch date.

There is a fear that Lost Ark will be “done” before we can even play it. It was already evident in April that interest in the MMORPG was clearly decreasing.

But even internationally, the mood is declining. This is partly due to the introduction of a new feature that allows you to automatically complete raids for money.

Many players see this as a mechanic of mobile games and now believe that the developers want to cater more to mobile gamers with Lost Ark.

This is not so far-fetched, as there are rumors about a mobile version of the MMORPG and mobile games are extremely popular in Asia. So if a mobile version of Lost Ark comes out, it’s only logical that corresponding mechanics will be incorporated.

But fans are currently not pleased at all. Many had hoped for a complex, deep PC MMORPG. And now Lost Ark is increasingly turning into a mobile game.

What do the player numbers look like? A downward trend can be seen for Lost Ark.

Through the website Gamemetrics, you can see how popular games are in Korea right now.

What was visible there: The market share of the MMORPG had dropped from 14% to 3.64% between November 2018 and April 2019.

Several months after the launch of a major MMO, this was still within the usual range, if not even above average. Lost Ark consistently ranked in the top 5. However, the losses in player numbers seem to be endless.

Now in June, it is only at position 10, with a market share of around 2%, trailing behind Maple Story, which has now overtaken it. Player numbers have almost halved within 2 months.

What do you think of Lost Ark? Do you still have interest in the MMORPG?

Is it possible to play Lost Ark in Germany now?

von Irina Moritz

A similar trend is noticeable on Twitch. There are fewer and fewer streams for the game.

Lost Ark Twitch — Monthly overview of channels and viewers of Lost Ark on TwitchTV – Source: Twitchstats

What are players saying? The mood on Reddit is currently not very good. Regarding the feature that automatically completes raids for money, users write:

ArcticMonkey667 says: “We are surprised because it is a PC game and not a mobile game. At least for now…”
sythalrom explains: “And that has made me lose interest in this game.”
Freakindon sarcastically says: “Who could have seen that coming?”

However, there are still players defending Lost Ark. For example, chazzstrong states: “It is an action RPG. And that is exactly how I will play it. I’m not concerned about monetization. The game looks fantastic!”

Black Desert: Trailer shows new class Shai – Some players have a problem with her

Alexander Leitsch 14. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMORPG Black Desert, a new character class will be released in June. Shai differs gameplay-wise from the previous classes but mainly sparks discussions due to her appearance.

What is special about Shai? The now 18th character class in Black Desert is supposed to gameplay-wise differ from others. The focus is not on pure fighting, but rather on the crafting, social, and support aspects, as announced at an event in Korea.

Shai already has a master level in alchemy and gathering at the time of creation. Additionally, she is said to have special interactions with her three donkeys, including a “Wanderer Mode,” which allows her to explore the world without being attacked.

In her role as support, she can protect players from attacks, heal them, or make invisible attackers visible.

Many of these features can also be seen in the official class trailer.

What can be seen in the trailer? The first minute completely revolves around exploring and gathering materials. Only after about 90 seconds is there contact with a hostile bear.

However, Shai does not fight this bear; instead, she plays dead and thus avoids confrontation. According to the developers, this is not meant to work with all monsters.

From minute 2, it shows in which area the new class shines. She supports other fighters but simultaneously uses her boomerang to take down opponents.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L5VcxxzA2A&amp=&t=

Shai is too cute and childlike for many players

What do players like about Shai? Many fans of Black Desert are very fond of the idea of a support class. There has often been a desire for dungeons, which would be possible with Shai as support. A class that can heal or protect teammates from attacks makes these contents more likely.

Reddit user 129912994 wishes for a rework of the support skills of other classes and a tank mechanic to optimally utilize the group content, coinciding with the Shai release.

Contents like dungeons were originally a major part of Black Desert, but they were discarded before the release.

More on the topic

Black Desert should have hundreds of dungeons – Are they coming?

von Lucas Kaczynski

What bothers players about Shai? While the mechanics have been very well received by the players, the loli appearance of Shai is met with rejection in the West.

Community member Nina wrote under the first post about the class that Shai appears very childlike, typically Asian, and very cheesy. And with this opinion, she is not alone.

On Reddit, there are already memes about Shai’s age or about the FBI showing up when creating the new class for the first time. Shai is said to now take the place of the Tamer class, which has been heavily sexualized due to some daring outfits.

Other users joke about how embarrassing it must be when a seasoned warrior or giant is defeated by a little girl.

When will Shai arrive in the game? Starting June 19, players in Europe, North America, Japan, and Russia can create their first Shai. However, the new class will only be playable one week later, on June 26.

In Korea, everything is moved forward by a week. Here, players can already create their first Shai, and usage will be possible starting June 19.

Furthermore, Black Desert is set to receive several updates this summer, including a new PvE mode and many revisions related to shipping:

No Man’s Sky had to take a lot of beatings – fans are now motivating the team with a great action

Micha Deckert 14. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The players of the open-world game No Man’s Sky have come up with a great idea: They raised money to book a billboard near the studio Hello Games to thank the developers.

What action is it about? The user weedwhizard launched a nice initiative in the NMS subreddit: He wanted to thank the developers of No Man’s Sky, Hello Games, for continuously working on the game and permanently expanding and improving it.

For this, he set up a crowdfunding page. For 1,750 US dollars, a billboard near the developer studio should be booked, and the employees should be provided with beer and burgers.

From the planned 1,750 $, over 2,500 $ in donations were raised – and that in less than a day. Currently, the donation counter stands at over 2,900 US dollars.

Why was the game criticized? Upon release in August 2016, No Man’s Sky was rather mediocre because some features that were hinted at or promised were missing. Due to the criticism, the developers went back to the drawing board and released the Foundation Update in November 2016, which brought some improvements to the game.

From then on, things improved steadily: Hello Games regularly releases updates and patches to expand No Man’s Sky.

The next update is just around the corner: Beyond is set to bring some MMO features.

What does Hello Games say? The studio itself has also caught wind of the players’ billboard action. One of the founders of Hello Games, Sean Murray, commented on Twitter about the community’s plans.

“Our community has bought the billboard near our office to say thank you. Oh. My. God.”

Under Murray’s post, players joked further that they would buy the English town of Guildford, where the developer studio is located, and rename it to “Hello”.
