That’s why a player is grateful for how Red Dead Redemption 2 represents her disability

Micha Deckert 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Red Dead Redemption 2 has smaller side stories to offer in addition to the main story, where players can get to know different characters. One of them is Magnifico, who particularly excited a player. Because Magnifico is short-statured, just like the player herself.

What disability is it about? Recently, a player spoke out on the subreddit for Red Dead Redemption 2. happyquinn27 thanks Rockstar for how disabilities are portrayed in the game, especially her own disability.

Before buying Red Dead Redemption 2, the player watched playthrough videos on YouTube and came to a part where Arthur meets Marjorie and Bertram in the Van Horn Saloon and has to find Magnifico.

During the course of the quest, it is revealed that Magnifico is short-statured. A little shock for the player, who is also short-statured.

Who is Magnifico? You encounter Magnifico in the side quest “The Smell of Theater Makeup.” Miss Marjorie wants Arthur to find Magnifico, who does not want to perform together with her and Bertram, who suffers from gigantism.

The trio travels through the land and performs in shows. As happyquinn27 writes, this was very common for short-statured individuals at that time. They were showcased in exhibitions or the so-called “freak shows”.

The player draws a comparison to the movie “The Greatest Showman,” in which Hugh Jackman plays P.T. Barnum, who really lived and introduced the trend of using short-statured individuals as entertainment in circus shows. Barnum also introduced the English term ‘Midget’, comparable to ‘Zwerg’ in German. The term is now considered derogatory and meant “little fly” or something that can be crushed back then.

Fortunately, Rockstar has refrained from using this term.

The realism of RDR2 has been praised earlier, such as how hunts are conducted or how birds are portrayed in the game.

Why is this so important to her? The player further explains on Reddit that she is grateful that Rockstar portrayed short stature and her story semi-realistically. While degrading terms were avoided, everything else corresponds to the truth.

The character was even accurately represented. While other games might have simply scaled down Magnifico’s model, he was modeled realistically in Red Dead Redemption 2, with shorter limbs, a protruding nose, and forehead. happyquinn27 could even note similar features between herself and Magnifico, as they both have the same form of dwarfism, achondroplasia.

In conclusion, the player noted that she is glad that Rockstar incorporated the circus mission into the game. Although her stomach turns at the stories of how people like her were treated in the past, seeing her disability represented in a popular video game is very important to her.

Why the warrior in Hearthstone is so good that it becomes bad

Schuhmann 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Hearthstone , the “Warrior” decks were actually considered the big winners after the latest expansion. But in eSports, this is becoming a problem for anyone relying on the “Bomb Warrior” deck. Because they are being specifically countered.

Why was the Warrior so strong with the new cards? When the last expansion of Hearthstone, “Conspiracy of Shadows”, was released, the Warrior looked like the big winner.

Because he retained a strong hero card with “Dr. Boom”, while many other hero cards from other classes rotated out and could no longer be used in the Standard format.

Moreover, the Warrior received some nasty new ways to hide bombs in the opponents’ decks.

The trend was leaning towards slower Control decks through the Archivist, everything seemed to work in favor of the defensive Warrior.

Particularly the “Bomb Warrior” deck was popular. Tempo-Storm currently has it in its meta snapshot at position 2.

The idea behind the decks: You build up a lot of defense and plan for a multitude of bombs in the opponent’s deck to take them down gradually. You are essentially waiting out the games.

Many are intensively preparing for the Warrior as an opponent

This is now the problem: As reported by Dotesports, the popularity of the Warrior is now somewhat turning against him at the highest level in eSports.

For at the start of the “Grand-Master” tour in Las Vegas, experienced professionals anticipated that many would rely on the “Bomb Warrior”.

Especially newcomers who do not know what to expect at a LAN tournament would rely on the “safe choice”, the Bomb Warrior, they speculated.

Therefore, the strategists extensively studied how to create decks that can reliably win against the Warrior and experimented and practiced with them.

Grandmasters like Paul “Zale” Nemeth or Ryan “Purple” Murphy-Root have intensely dealt with how to reliably defeat the “Bomb Warrior”, Dotesports reports.

This is now the result: As reported by Dotesports, the Warrior was indeed the most played class on the first day of the tournament by far. There were 1399 games with the Warrior, nearly double that of the second most played class, the Rogue.

But after the first day, the Warrior only had a 48% win rate, the lowest among the top 4 classes.

Decks from Shamans and Hunters destroyed the Warrior in the tournament – against them, Warriors only achieved 38% and 42% wins, respectively – that is deadly.

Those who invested time in designing their decks to counter the Warrior have probably invested that time well.

In the deck list of Dog (via hearthpwn), it is evident that he had prepared for the Warrior. Besides Harrison Jones, he also had a Acidic Swamp Ooze to destroy the Warrior’s weapons.

Which classes were represented in the finals? In the new “Specialist format” in Hearthstone , the Grandmasters play only one class, but in three deck variations. In the top 8, there were:

5 Mages
2 Warriors
1 Rogue

The Warrior did play a significant role in the tournament, but was far from being as dominant as one could have inferred from the large number of matches played with him.

MMORPG Crisis – Only 3 Online Role-Playing Games Are Likely to Come in 2019

Jürgen Horn 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In 2019, it looks bleak if you’re into new MMORPGs. Because of the currently announced new online role-playing games, only three have a realistic chance of being released in 2019.

What does the MMORPG release list for 2019 look like? At first glance, looking at our release list for MMORPGs 2019, it looks quite promising. However, upon closer inspection, it quickly becomes apparent that hardly anything is really sure to come out in 2019:

Aspiring projects like Crowfall or Camelot Unchained claim almost every year that they might finally be releasing now, but one cannot rely on that.
The new game from NCSoft, Project TL, doesn’t even have a name yet, let alone a secure release date in 2019. Whether it will “definitely” come this year, as announced, is rather uncertain.
Moonlight Blade and A:IR are currently only active in Asia, and the Western release is also unclear.

New World Armors Female — New World, a MMO hope from Amazon. It is still in development, but will not be released in 2019.

This is likely to be released in 2019

These three games are relatively safe for 2019: Currently, only three games can be realistically expected:

The Asian MMORPG Astellia
The old-school online role-playing game Legends of Aria
The Bless spin-off Bless Unleashed

But even these games are not 100% certain candidates for a 2019 release. In the following paragraphs, we’ll take a closer look at the three games and how likely their release still is.

Legends of Aria (PC)

This is Legends of Aria: Legends of Aria is a classic, old-school sandbox MMORPG that primarily aims to attract fans of the classic Ultima Online. Additionally, you can create your own worlds (shards) and play by your own rules.

What do we know about the release? Legends of Aria was supposed to be released on Steam in spring 2019. However, the release has now been pushed back to the vague time of “summer 2019”.

Legends of Aria is therefore expected to be released in 2019, but whether it will actually happen in summer is not guaranteed.

What do we know about the release? According to the plan, Bless Unleashed is supposed to be released in the fourth quarter of 2019 for Xbox One. However, whether that will work out and if the PS4 version will also come out this year is uncertain.

Astellia (PC)

This is Astellia: Astellia is a classic theme park MMORPG with a PvE focus. PvP takes place in arenas. The game is from Korea and does not hold back on colorful effects. Additionally, you can summon the namesake “Astells” in addition to your class skills.

These are small helpers that come with their own abilities and complete your build. You can collect these creatures and create new combinations.

What do we know about the release? Of the three release candidates for 2019, Astellia is likely the game that will definitely come out in 2019. While we don’t know a concrete date yet, the closed beta will run from June 25 to July 1, 2019. After that, it should be released soon.

What will the future look like in 2020?

As bleak as 2019 looks for new MMORPGs, 2020 appears promising at the moment, at least judging by the announced release dates.

Some of the games mentioned earlier could finally be released, which we probably waited for in vain in 2019. And then, several promising titles are also scheduled for 2020.

But we thought that about 2019 in 2018 too.

That’s why the developers don’t want to patch Fallout 76 faster, even though they could

Benedict Grothaus 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Since its release, Fallout 76 has evolved with numerous patches and new content. Some players felt that this wasn’t fast enough. The Product Lead, Jeff Gardiner, now says that faster is not necessarily better.

Why aren’t the developers patching faster? In an interview with PCGamer during E3 2019, Jeff Gardiner discussed the challenges of developing a game-as-a-service like Fallout 76.

Fans want their problems addressed as quickly as possible. According to Gardiner, however, it is not good to patch a game too quickly and constantly. This leads to more problems:

We are trying our best to find a balance… we can’t feed the beast fast enough. But the faster we feed it, the more likely it is to get indigestion. So you have to find a good balance somehow.

This is what happens when patches are made too quickly

What kind of problems are we talking about? Gardiner cited one issue as an example which had quite a wide reach: Bobby Pins. Bobby Pins are an important tool in Fallout 76 used for lockpicking.

The items started the game weighing 0.1 pounds. This quickly resulted in players becoming overencumbered with their limited inventory space when carrying just a handful of Bobby Pins.

Players expected a quick fix for such a “small” problem and even sent Bethesda’s head Todd Howard a packet of Bobby Pins to show that the weight was absurd.

Those were already problems: Eventually the issue was fixed, and the weight was reduced to 0.001 pounds. However, in a later patch, this fix was accidentally reversed, so it had to be addressed again. Such occurrences can happen more frequently when patches are constant:

That was a reaction that caught us off guard. But again, we are only human. This is a 70-gig game; that’s a lot. We don’t do this intentionally. And we are not doing this because we are lazy.

This is how Fallout 76 proceeds now

This is the patch plan: To prevent patches from introducing new bugs that need to be patched again and thus get caught in a vicious cycle, Bethesda has established a fixed patch plan against this.

In the roadmap from early 2019, all new content and major updates are listed. Bethesda now intends to work through the milestones of this roadmap. Every few weeks, there will be a major patch with new content.

In between, smaller patches will come for bug fixes or with features that did not quite make the deadline for the larger update.

The upcoming update is “Nuclear Winter”, of which a major feature has already been implemented in the game:

FIFA 19 players are making fun of a German football professional

Noah Struthoff 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 19, a German soccer professional is currently causing a lot of laughter because the third division player lost his cool after a virtual match in FIFA 19 and verbally attacked his opponent. The opponent made it public.

This is the situation: The Reddit user “LukasJMD31” shared several images showing how a German soccer professional verbally attacked him after a match.

The German professional apparently could not believe that he lost this match and sent the Reddit user messages like “You played like a noob” and “You are the worst player I have ever seen.”

FIFA 19 exposed “real” football professionals through special card

This is how the professional was exposed: If you are a football professional, you can receive a very special FUT card from EA. The card is green and “the representation of the own player” has a 99 rating.

This honor is only granted to the professionals who are represented in FIFA 19.

The professionals can thus be very easily identified.

The Reddit user then showed a picture of the professional’s team where he himself was in attack.

It was clearly recognizable that the Reddit user played against a football professional from the 3rd Bundesliga.

FIFA players laugh about this chat history

This is what is laughed about: When the football professional lost, he apparently couldn’t cope with it. He sent the Reddit user nasty messages, portraying him as a bad player.

The Reddit user responded coolly and just replied that he should focus on a professional career and not insult other FIFA players.

In addition, the Reddit user sent a picture to the football professional where he had sold him on the transfer market for a quick sale. This brings the most laughter from the readers.

How do other players react? The post has already received over 3000 upvotes on Reddit. We show you some responses:

glen-hodl: “Oh man. If I were rich, I would rent an advertising board in his stadium and show the screenshots of his FIFA defeat there!”
THAT_ONE_GUY_JESUS: “I also played against this guy, lost 4:5 in extra time. He wrote to me to tell me that I am only dangerous at corners and asked me what rank I will end up in. I replied: “Gold 1, nice to see that the salary of the third division is still enough for FIFA points.”
Mesnaga: “This is the best FIFA post of the month. You took his pants off him. Well done!”

What do you think about it? Do you find the action funny or have you ever messaged a opponent like that?

Shadowkeep brings the Moon to Destiny 2 – Is more coming from Part 1?

Micha Deckert 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

With the next expansion for Destiny 2, Shadowkeep, the familiar Moon from the original game will be included. Are players now expecting even more zones from Destiny 1? Bungie recently discussed whether the team has further plans for the already existing areas from Destiny 1.

Where will Shadowkeep take us? The upcoming expansion for Destiny 2, Shadowkeep, brings some familiar zones into play: Destiny 1 veterans will likely recognize the Moon and the Black Garden. Both will be introduced in the expansion for Destiny 2.

However, Bungie will not be bringing the Moon in its original form into play. It is supposed to be expanded and upgraded. The location is expected to be twice as large as it was in Destiny 1.

Is there more to come? During the E3 2019, several Bungie developers talked about the new features presented and the future of the Destiny franchise. Among other things, it was also discussed whether and how Bungie wants to bring further content from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2.

In an interview with GamesRadar, franchise head Luke Smith described the Shadowkeep expansion as a kind of experiment. This would help determine what could be done with the library of content that has already been developed over time and how it could be further developed. Design lead Raylene Deck quickly replied that there are currently no plans to port Destiny 1 content directly to Destiny 2.

In a podcast with Jason Schreier, Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy elaborated on this point. The team would like to utilize existing zones by updating and recontextualizing them. As an example, Noseworthy mentioned a mission from Destiny 1: The Taken King, where players visited the boss area of the Sepiks strike and discovered a completely new area to explore there.

The Moon in Shadowkeep will now serve as a test for how well such implementations can work in Destiny 2.

Bungie and Recycling: Reusing old content is nothing new in Destiny 2: gradually, old weapons from Destiny 1 are returning to the current game.

Just yesterday, we reported that Bungie even “stole” and repurposed a tank as a raid boss in its own game.

Additionally, remnants from Destiny 1 seem to already be present in Destiny 2. Due to a bug, players were able to fly to Oryx’s Dreadnaught in Destiny 2 under certain circumstances in October 2018.

Players had many theories about why the Dreadnaught suddenly appeared in the game while they intended to fly to Titan. Bungie explained at the time that this was a bug and old code and that there were no indications that the ship would become playable at a later time.

Sounds like the online RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 is also coming for PS4 and Switch

Andreas Bertits 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

At E3, the MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 was surprisingly announced for a release in the USA – for PC and Xbox One. However, it seems that owners of a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch will be able to join in – at least eventually.

What was announced? During the Microsoft conference at E3, Phil Spencer surprisingly announced that Phantasy Star Online is coming to the USA. Fans have been waiting for the MMORPG since 2012, but a release in the West has not been in sight until now.

During the conference, it was stated that the MMORPG will be available for PC and Xbox One, which led players to suspect that it would be exclusively playable on these platforms in the West.

MMORPG will “come to all platforms”

What about the PS4 and Nintendo Switch? There was no discussion about the two consoles during the E3 conference. After all, it was a Microsoft event, and they shouldn’t promote the competition.

However, Phantasy Star Online 2 is also available for PS4 and PS Vita in Japan. Therefore, it seems only logical that the MMORPG will at least appear for the Playstation 4.

What is the current situation? Microsoft’s Phil Spencer was asked during an interview about the deal with Sega. He mentioned that he spoke with the Phantasy Star Online team to find a way to bring the MMORPG to the West. After all, it is a well-known brand, and the online game performs exceptionally well in Japan.

Furthermore, PSO 2 is very important to Phil Spencer, as he associates a lot with the MMORPG. According to him, the game already featured opportunities to play this kind of “strikes” even before Destiny.

According to Phil Spencer, it is not an exclusive deal. Spencer believes that Phantasy Star Online 2 will come to all platforms. This gives hope that we will see the MMORPG on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

This means Sega could also release the MMORPG on PS4 and also on Nintendo Switch. But Microsoft has nothing to do with that.

It apparently rests solely with Sega to negotiate relevant deals with Sony and Nintendo. However, nothing is currently known about such negotiations.

The anticipation is high

What about a release outside the USA? Phil Spencer stated that Microsoft is currently busy preparing the release in the USA. This is currently a priority. It seems, however, that Microsoft is interested in a release in other countries.

How are players reacting? There is excitement that Phantasy Star Online 2 can soon be played in the USA – and hopefully also in Europe. Players are also pleased that the MMORPG could appear on all platforms.

Mcmacladdie comments on Reddit: “I am glad I was wrong with my suspicion that the game would probably not come to PS4.”

Someone has turned Super Mario into a Battle Royale – Here’s how you can play right away

Patrick Freese 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The battle royale craze has also arrived in the cult game Super Mario Bros. And if you like, you can start playing right away.

What kind of game is this? As more and more games offer a battle royale mode, such as GTA 5, Battlefield 5 and even Fallout 76, now it’s Mario’s turn.

In Mario Royale, you play as Mario against 99 other Marios on the familiar maps from Super Mario Bros. However, it doesn’t follow the usual battle royale format, as you cannot directly attack other players. Instead, you interact with the game world. A fan created the game.

If you kick a green shell around, other players can be hit by it and lose their lives
You can destroy blocks that other players are standing on
Mushrooms as power-ups appear in the world but can only be collected by one player

The only way to “directly” enter the game of others is the star. If you collect this and run through other players, they die.

Another difference from the classic battle royale is that you fight to be the first to reach Bowser. Whoever gets through the world first and reaches the axe behind Bowser wins. There are also victory royales for 2nd and 3rd place.

Games are played on the maps World 1, World 2, and World 3, which are randomly selected in the map rotation.

Where can you play it? You can play the game in your browser. Just visit the developer’s website, infernoplus.com, and get started.

Create a name there first and then click on GO. You’ll then enter a lobby that will gradually fill up with more Marios.

Are new exotic weapons coming to The Division 2? That says Massive

Schuhmann 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Next week, an exotic gear piece will arrive in The Division 2 . But are new exotic weapons planned as well? “Yes,” says Massive. But there are some caveats.

Here’s the situation: In The Division 2, many “exotic weapons” don’t play as significant a role as they did in the first part. While there are outliers like the “Nemesis”, a very powerful sniper rifle, you can never have enough good Exotics. And the offering in The Division 2 is still somewhat sparse.

This week, Update 4 brings an exotic holster to The Division 2: It’s the first Exotic in the game that is not a weapon.

On the sidelines of E3 2019, Massive was asked in an interview with Gamesradar whether new Exotics for The Division 2 are planned.

the division 2 nemesis exotic — The Nemesis.

This is what Massive says: They say: “There are definitely plans for more exotic weapons and gear throughout the year, yes.”

But designing new exotic items is very labor-intensive. There’s significantly more effort involved than just bringing in more weapons:

“Gear sets and exotic weapons or gear are difficult because there is so much standard equipment, and the expectation for anything beyond that is that it should “bring something,” say the developers.

By “something,” they probably mean the “certain something” that distinguishes Exotics from the rest.

6 things that the fine patch will bring to The Division 2 next week

von Schuhmann

What The Division 2 considers before introducing a new Exotic

What considerations does Massive have regarding Exotics? Before designing a new exotic item, Massive needs to consider: For whom do we want to create the weapon?

Do we want to make it for the people who use spreadsheets and calculate even the smallest DPS gain?
Or do we want to develop it for players looking for a new gameplay experience?

division 2 exo holster — The new exotic holster arrives this week.

This question must be answered, and then many factors need to be considered:

How does the weapon affect this raid boss?
How does it affect that rated challenge?
What impact does it have on other content we have in the game?

It’s like a checklist that needs to be worked through. It’s complicated, but they do their best to pay attention to everything.

So it looks like our list of Exotics will be a bit longer in the long run:

Players fear: Path of Exile will be like Diablo 3 – Too casual

Jürgen Horn 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The seemingly ultra-hard and complex action RPG Path of Exile has a new expansion called Legion. There, after just about a week, a player has already reached the new max level. Has the game become too easy and casual now?

What happened? The new expansion Legion for Path of Exile was released on June 11, 2019. Just a few days later, a dedicated player had already reached the new maximum level of 100. And that in hardcore mode, where permadeath exists, and everything is lost after death.

It was also the case that SSF (Solo Self Found) applies. You cannot trade there and must find everything you use by yourself.

It was therefore not possible to trade ideal gear from other players.

Thus, the hardest conditions applied, and yet, just a few days after the release of Legion, the new highest level was reached.

Is Path of Exile becoming too easy or are the players just too good?

Is the game not hardcore enough anymore? Given the fact that after just a few days the maximum level has already been reached, some players are slowly skeptical about whether Path of Exile is becoming too easy.

After all, such accomplishments should take many weeks and months. How can it be that it went so quickly? Is the once highly praised, ultra-hard action RPG alternative now following the path of Diablo 3, i.e., the game that many PoE players vehemently reject due to its alleged casualness?

That’s why the player was so successful: However, the fortunate master of the maximum level was not just any casual bob, but Steelmage202 from Method.

Method are the guys who regularly steamroll the hardest new raids worldwide in WoW.

This ambition was likely also at work in Path of Exile, and Steelmage202 has been grinding for hours with great dedication using a particularly effective build.

He primarily uses damage-over-time effects, which he distributes across numerous enemies, who then gradually perish miserably while further damaging their comrades. This is how he grinds through high-level instances.

He kills simply like on an assembly line and does not take much time with looting and other distractions. Thus, he earns XP at a crazy speed and can level up continuously.

That’s why Path of Exile seems to have become easier: The game itself still seems quite tough, it was simply an extremely strong, ambitious player. Nevertheless, it has become less difficult to go wild in Path of Exile.

Because the developers no longer nerf overpowered builds as strongly as they used to, there are better items from league to league, and the overall skill of the players is steadily increasing. Those who have been around for a long time know the systems and can adapt faster than before.

Thus, it is less about the supposed ease of the game, but rather about the rising skill and better equipment of the players that makes Path of Exile seem too easy for some now.

How strong are Tigrex and Banbaro in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Irina Moritz 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

At E3 2019, YouTuber Arekkz was able to try out a demo version of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and fight against two new monsters: Tigrex and Banbaro.

What was shown at E3 about Iceborne? Visitors of the E3 fair had the opportunity to fight against two of the new monsters from the Iceborne expansion. These were the new monster Banbaro and the fan-favorite Tigrex.

Their quests were ranked in difficulty such that Banbaro was recommended for advanced players and Tigrex only for true professionals. Less experienced hunters could take on the good old Great Jagras and beat it to a pulp.

What can be seen in the videos? Arekkz was able to record his fights against both Banbaro and Tigrex. Besides the short intro, the videos are completely unedited, and you can watch the fights in all their action-packed glory.

As the fight against Tigrex was the most difficult in the demo, Arekkz teamed up with three other players. They used the following weapons:

Sword and Shield
Switch Axe
Long Sword
Hunting Horn

Various perspectives were captured during the fight. You can see how the different weapons play in a real combat situation and check out the new combos.

Arekkz, however, faced Banbaro alone. Here, he uses the energy blade and also takes advantage of the new practical slingshot mechanic, which allows you to draw closer to monsters.

You can also see how Banbaro uses elements from the environment, such as rocks or tree trunks, to attack the hunter.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare still in Pre-Alpha – Statement unsettles players

Schuhmann 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The new shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is currently still in a “Pre-Alpha” stage. Hearing this made some players so nervous that a developer from Infinity Ward had to step in to clarify.

This is how Call of Duty appeared at E3: Activision Blizzard did not have its own conference at E3 2019 and did not make much of an appearance at Microsoft either. Therefore, the major games from Activision like Destiny or Modern Warfare held smaller talk sessions, from which some nuggets of information were extracted.

Some screenshots were shown for Modern Warfare; behind the scenes at E3, demos were also shown that sparked a censorship discussion.

A statement from Infinity Ward during E3 caused unrest in the community.

A developer said, while discussing cross-play, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is still in the “Pre-Alpha” phase, so still relatively early in development. He used that as an excuse for not being able to make definitive statements.

This is how parts of the community reacted: The statement spread across social media. After all, the release is already on October 25: There is not much time left and “Pre-Alpha” sounds far from a release in the ears of the players.

Unrest arose. There was a video in the community where a YouTuber said he was very concerned (via YouTube). The topic has been brewing a bit over the last few days.

Tour de Force, but as far along as previous titles

This is how Infinity Ward now reacts: A developer spoke up on Friday at Reddit to provide clarification. He says it is his 4th Call of Duty and the 9th game in his career. So he has some experience.

He wants to explain now to ease the tension: The new Call of Duty is at this phase of development just as far along as CoD 2, CoD 4, and MW 2. And Modern Warfare is much more ambitious than the other games.

And lastly, many players have had bad experiences with games that should have stayed in development a bit longer.

So will Call of Duty Modern Warfare die Welt schockieren

von Schuhmann

There are parts of the game that are already in alpha, and others are before alpha and content lock. This is because the departments work differently. It is a huge undertaking to bring the entire game into alpha, and until Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reaches the point where one can say: “We are now content locked.”

Between alpha and beta, it will still be polished, bugs will be fixed and they will look for ways to improve the game, the developer continues.

Since the production of Modern Warfare started, they have been developing with the latest technologies and have never taken a moment for granted.

This is how players react to the explanation: The players on Reddit seem satisfied with the explanation and praise the developer for the open communication, which has dispelled some concerns.

Others say, however, that one can only really assess everything once the game is actually out.

This is behind it: When players hear “Pre-Alpha”, they think of early access games from indie developers that remain stagnant for years and make only little progress. These “openly developed games” that rely on crowdfunding are developed differently: they have to show early to generate revenue.

You don’t normally hear such terms as “Pre-Alpha” from AAA studios because games in this state are not talked about. However, for developers at a AAA studio, “Pre-Alpha” apparently is a term without much emotion and merely means: “More content is coming.”

The heated discussion shows, however, that many players are still uncertain about Modern Warfare currently as no gameplay has been shown yet – especially the multiplayer mode is still completely missing.

And lastly, many players have had bad experiences with games that should have stayed in development a bit longer.

In this MMORPG, you play as a very successful MMORPG player

Andreas Bertits 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

XL Games, the studio behind the popular MMORPG ArcheAge, is currently working with Moonlight Sculptor on a new online game. This offers a very interesting story.

What is Moonlight Sculptor? The new MMORPG from XL Games and Kakao Games will be released for smartphones, but is expected to offer a large, open game world. The online game was announced back in 2016, and now we can see the first artworks.

The developers are currently holding back on details about the features. However, it is said that players will enjoy great freedom in the open world.

The developers are known among other things for ArcheAge. An iconic race of the game, the Firran, can be seen in the title image and was used here as a symbol image.

An MMORPG with a novel basis

What is special about the game? Moonlight Sculptor is based on the South Korean novel series “The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor”. These novels tell an interesting story.

What are the books about? In the books, Lee Hyun tries to pay off his family’s debts. He is a very successful player of the MMORPG “Continent of Magic” and eventually sells his powerful character “Weed” at an auction for 3.1 billion Won, which equals about 2.3 million Euros.

However, he loses almost all the money to loan sharks. Now he is trying to earn enough money with the new VR MMORPG Royal Road to help his sick grandmother and pay for his sister’s education.

In Royal Road, he also achieves great success. As one of the few, he gains access to the secret class “Legendary Moonlight Sculptor” and is allowed to post his videos of the MMORPG online as one of only 500 players.

During his adventures in Royal Road, he meets many interesting players and even manages to become the “Greatest Ruler of the North”.

An MMO in a VR world?

What could this story mean for the online game? It seems that we also play a character who finds himself in the MMORPG Royal Road and explores the world there, wanting to go far. So similar to Sword Art Online.

What is there to see so far about the MMORPG? First artworks show colorful landscapes and cute characters typical for Asian MMORPGs.

When will the game be released? Moonlight Sculptor is expected to be released this year in Korea for mobile devices. There is currently no information about a release in Europe and the USA.

WoW Classic is so retro that even the cities have different names

Cortyn 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Classic version of World of Warcraft will do a few things differently than the current retail version – for example, it will have different names for places.

The beta of WoW Classic has been running for quite a while, but the German player community has been asking one question for some time: Will the Classic version of World of Warcraft also use the “old” names? In the past, places like “Ironforge” were not yet known, as they simply had the English name “Ironforge”.

After a long silence, Blizzard’s localization team has finally responded and clarified: Yes, WoW Classic will also use the old English names!

Localization has changed over the years: The way World of Warcraft is localized has changed significantly over the years. This is also explained by the Community Manager Toschayju in the German forum:

Throughout the history of World of Warcraft, our localization process has changed significantly. This includes translating certain words and phrases. For WoW Classic, we want to retain the original localization of the game as much as possible and create a player experience that feels authentic and true to its origins. For example, you may visit Bloodhoof instead of the village of Bluthufe, and you will encounter the dwarves of the Stormpike Expedition instead of the dwarves of Sturmlanzen.

There were discussions back then: Just before the release of “The Burning Crusade”, Blizzard decided to fully localize the game into the respective languages to create a linguistically uniform game world. This resulted in many places and terms being “Germanized”. While this barely went unnoticed for some names like “Whisperwind” (which became Wisperwind), it was more obvious for names like Proudmoore (which became Prachtmeer).

So the name remains “Thunder Bluff” and not “Donnerfels”.

This did not please everyone and already sparked fierce discussions back then. For some, the original names were something important, they were considered “proper names”. Others only understood why the world had previously been translated half-heartedly and were happy that finally all places and names had a German term.

Fortnite: Kids ruin family holidays, buy 65,000 V-Bucks

Patrick Freese 17. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The money saved for the trip to visit family was spent by the nephew and niece on tons of in-game currency in Fortnite: Battle Royale.

What are V-Bucks? This is the in-game currency of Fortnite. With these V-Bucks, you can buy outfits, gliders, battle passes, or other cosmetic items. The cheaper items can be bought for 500 V-Bucks (about 5 €). Extravagant items can cost as much as 2,000 V-Bucks, which is about 20 €.

The purchased items do not provide any gameplay advantage. It’s only about cosmetic changes that represent the played character or their weapons and vehicles differently than usual.

How did the kids get the money? On Reddit, user A_Sad_Frog1 shares their experience in the “Today I fucked up” subreddit.

Because his nephew and niece do not own many games on their PSN account, the Reddit user (their uncle) let them play on his PSN account. Since all payments require a verification number, he was sure that they could not buy games using his bank information.

The kids apparently bypassed this security measure by first filling the PSN account wallet with money. As A_Sad_Frog1 writes, this payment did not require a verification number. Afterwards, the kids could buy V-Bucks with the PSN wallet money – without verification.

The problem was only noticed after 65,000 V-Bucks had already been purchased. The father of the nephew contacted the Reddit user and asked, “Your nephew is currently playing Fortnite and has 65,000 V-Bucks. Is that normal?” Over the course of a week, the children spent this amount of in-game currency.

In total, $531 was deducted over the course of a week. Most of it happened yesterday. When I wanted to check the damage caused, 20,000 V-Bucks had already been spent.
I saw that the PlayStation wallet can be topped up before every purchase. So they probably paid by first buying wallet currency, which apparently did not require a code.
A_Sad_Frog1 on Reddit

A_Sad_Frog1 then immediately disconnected all bank accounts from the account. After his search, he concluded that there was no way to get his money back. The bank could not retrieve it, and the PlayStation Store had no protection against accidental purchases.

Why wasn’t this noticed earlier? Many users on Reddit state that you are notified by email when purchases are made with the PSN account. A_Sad_Frog1 agrees that such emails exist. However, his PSN account is linked to an email that does not send notifications to his smartphone.

What was the money planned for? The situation worsens, as the money was taken from an account that the girlfriend of uncle A_Sad_Frog1 used for her savings.

She is visiting her family in America and had saved this money for that purpose. They had planned many activities together, which she will now likely be unable to participate in.

What happens now? It seems there is hope for this case. In the comments on Reddit, user zemorah writes:

“You can get a refund!

Who told you that you can’t? In the PlayStation Store, there is a one-time (as in once in your life) chargeback for exactly these cases. I know this because my son did the same thing. He spent about $400. I called PlayStation, and it took about 30 minutes to clarify the situation. After a few days, I had all my money back.”

Additionally, the community coordinator of Fortnite, “MrPopoTFS”, spoke in the thread and offered his help. Together they plan to work on a solution. Whether the money will be back in time for the vacation and if the trip can still take place as planned is still unclear.

That young players spend so much money on Fortnite is not an isolated case. An 11-year-old boy spent $1200 on Fortnite, and the parents sued Epic Games.

The actress was torn apart by a monster in Star Trek Discovery, now in the MMORPG

Jürgen Horn 17. June 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In the current episode of Star Trek Online, Commander Landry from the Netflix series Star Trek Discovery plays an important role. Therefore, we were able to entice the original actress and voice actress Rekha Sharma to a little interview.

Warning: The following text contains spoilers for the first season of Star Trek Discovery!

Who is Rekha Sharma? Rekha Sharma is a Canadian actress of Indian descent. She has appeared in several sci-fi films and series, including Battlestar Galactica, V – The Visitors, The 100, and Aliens vs. Predator 2.

Who is Commander Landry? In Star Trek Discovery, Rekha Sharma played Commander Landry, the tough chief of security of the Discovery and right hand of Captain Lorca.

Unfortunately, Commander Landry’s appearances are very few. The brave woman soon falls victim to a giant tardigrade and is brutally torn apart.

Later in the series, Landry appears again as a counterpart in the mirror universe, only to meet a gruesome end there as well. In the current episode of Star Trek Online, Landry is still alive, as everything takes place before the events of the series.

Star-trek-online-landry-and-lorca — This is what Landry and Lorca look like in the game.

Currently, everything in the MMORPG Star Trek Online revolves around Discovery. As in the series, the character is also voiced by Rekha Sharma in the game.

Interview with Rekha Sharma (Commander Landry)

MeinMMO: Do you play online games or MMORPGs? And if so, have you ever played Star Trek Online and how did you like it?

Rekha Sharma: I haven’t played it yet. I game very little … I prefer to perform for other people. I enjoy it so much that I’ve made a career out of it.

MeinMMO: Are you a fan of Star Trek or science fiction in general?

Rekha Sharma: Yes, I am! I discovered the original series as a child through my brother. I grew up as a little non-white girl in a very white neighborhood, and the series made a lasting impression on me. I am an idealist, a dreamer, and an Aquarius.

That was the first time I saw the vision of a future without racism or other forms of discrimination. I was thrilled. I have seen a lot of ‘The Next Generation’, then DS9 and Voyager. That stopped when I got older and ‘cooler’ … now it’s really a relief to be totally UN-COOL again! HA HA!

MeinMMO: What can you tell us about your role as Commander Landry? What is your personal opinion of her? Did you enjoy playing her?

Rekha Sharma: I think Landry was a good soul full of hope and visions, which is why she joined Starfleet. I think what happened on the Buran was traumatizing. It was war (Battle of the Binary Stars), so she could never really process it.

And while she was in such a weakened state, she was further manipulated and misled by Mirror-Lorca. She had SEVERE Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

It is always an honor to embody another soul … no matter how painful that can sometimes be. She was also fun: She’s tough, never gives up, and has a dark, dry humor.

MeinMMO: How did you feel when you first heard about her final fate?

Rekha Sharma: I was traumatized myself! LOL. It was shocking. For all of us! We all understood each other so incredibly well that we didn’t want to say ‘Goodbye’ … but at least we will always have that connection, and maybe one day I can return in some way.

Star Trek is truly a family. I am grateful to be a part of it.

MeinMMO: How did you feel when you heard that you could play her again after her part in the series ended?

Rekha Sharma: EXCITED!

MeinMMO: What are the differences between Commander Landry on television and in the game?

Rekha Sharma: She is open, naive, in love … and then she has PTSD and has to deal with it and survive. When we see her on the Discovery, she is trying to do this with tireless discipline.

MeinMMO: Do you have any cool anecdotes from the Discovery set or the recordings for the game?

Rekha Sharma: STO treated me so well … there were donuts for me in the recording studio! Ha ha!

Here are more Star Trek interviews: We previously interviewed a voice actor from Star Trek Online. Find out here why the actor behind Dr. Bashir doesn’t play Star Trek Online:

16-year-old shot while trying to sell his Xbox One

Schuhmann 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A 16-year-old boy has been shot in the USA. He and his father met with two men to sell an Xbox One. However, the deal turned out to be a robbery that had terrible consequences.

On Wednesday, a 16-year-old from Merriville, Indiana, was murdered. He and his father had driven about 15 minutes from Gary, Indiana, to meet with two men. The boy had previously met them online through a sales app.

He wanted to sell the two men his “Xbox One Elite” console for $250 to buy himself a new phone.

Xbox-One-Sale — This was the ad he used to sell his Xbox One. Source: Fox32

As Gamerant reports, father and son arrived in Gary and met with two men. They led them to a house that was unoccupied. However, the father and son were not aware of this.

The boy plugged the Xbox into an outdoor socket so that the sellers could verify that the console was working. That was when the father noticed that one of the two supposed buyers was carrying a firearm.

Father and son then fled, but the son reached for the console while the father shouted at him to just run away.

The son was shot in the back, but managed to make it to his father’s car. According to his mother, the boy still said, “Dad, I’m hit” and died shortly after. The boy was sitting in the passenger seat, still holding his Xbox One in his arms when the police arrived.

The autopsy revealed that the boy died from a gunshot wound, and the death is classified as a homicide. The father was unharmed, according to the police.

The two men are described as being in their early 20s or late teens, wearing basketball shorts, one in a black hoodie and the other in a white one.

The mother says, “They killed my son for nothing.”

One day after the boy was shot, his driver’s license was in the mail.

WoW reduces the experience for island expeditions with farming groups by 95%

Cortyn 17. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A small change in the upcoming patch of World of Warcraft will ruin island expeditions for level groups. That is fully intentional by Blizzard.

Anyone who wants to bring a second or third character in World of Warcraft to level 120 might level through island expeditions. This gives a lot of XP and is relatively quick. However, those who rely on premium twinks for help will soon find themselves out of luck. An XP penalty will ensure that island expeditions will no longer be worthwhile for such players in patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara.

What was the problem? Many players used twinks at level 110 who still had legendary items and their artifact weapon from “Legion.” With the best possible gear, they activated an XP stop, so they would not gain experience points. Since enemies in island expeditions scale with the players’ level, these “super-twinks” could clear islands solo. Two other characters that needed to be leveled quickly just had to follow along and could be showered with experience points.

Many players also used these super-twinks to quickly level other players from level 110 to 120 for gold.

What exactly will change? From now on, all players will receive a debuff when a teammate activates the XP stop on island expeditions. The experience gained will then be reduced by a whopping 95%, making it virtually nonexistent.

Why is Blizzard making this change? There has been no official statement from Blizzard on this so far. Considering previous statements from the developers, it seems that the reason is that they want the respective content to be played. The “turbo leveling” through island expeditions with super twinks was probably just too effective and did not align with how Blizzard envisions the leveling experience for players.

Normal island expeditions are unaffected: Anyone who wants to level “normally” through island expeditions, that is, who plays with other characters that have not activated a level stop, will continue to receive the full experience points. So nothing will change for these players.

The change goes live with patch 8.2. There is no exact release date for it yet, but it is expected to be released in a few weeks.

What do you think about this change to island expeditions? Is it a sensible adjustment because an exploit was previously being abused? Or is it a typical case of “fun detected” where Blizzard strikes again?
