Blizzard has announced the dates for the raid “Eternal Palace” in World of Warcraft. We will tell you when the new raid goes live.
Yesterday, World of Warcraft finally revealed the release date for Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara. This comes with a ton of new content, such as Nazjatar and Mechagon.
For many raiders, the fun really begins with the opening of the new raid “Eternal Palace”. There, you will face Azshara and her minions. The raid will open in multiple phases, as in the past. Here are all the dates.

Dates for the Raid “Eternal Palace” in Patch 8.2
As usual, the raid opens first for the “real” raid groups, before the individual wings are unlocked over the weeks with the LFR. Here are the dates:
July 10: Normal and heroic difficulty open
July 17: Mythic difficulty and LFR Wing 1 opens
July 31: LFR Wing 2 opens
August 14: LFR Wing 3 opens
In plain language, this means that players without an active raid group will only be able to fully experience Azshara’s Eternal Palace and complete any quests starting on August 14.
What are the requirements? To dive into the new raid in the LFR, your character must have an item level of at least 380. This should be easy to achieve in Patch 8.2, as it is relatively simple to acquire solid gear in that range in Nazjatar and Mechagon.
Major “World First Race” expected: With a new raid tier that includes a total of 8 bosses, there will surely be another major “World First” race, where professional guilds like Method, Exorsus, and Limit will attempt to defeat the toughest bosses first. Whether Method can defend its title, which they won in “Battle of Dazar’alor”, remains to be seen.
Are you looking forward to Azshara’s Eternal Palace and will you participate in a proper raid? Or is the “Tourist Mode” in the LFR sufficient for you?

Thanks to a leak, we can take a first look at the movie for Monster Hunter World.The monster Diablos and even the Field Expert can be seen.
Where does the leak come from? As Eurogamer reports, the clip was secretly recorded at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The clip is now circulating.
What can be seen in the teaser? In the leaked clip, we get to see a monster for the first time. The Diablos, a dangerous monster found in the desert that attacks from the ground, is shown. At the end of the teaser, a Rathalos is presumably visible, breaking through a wall of fire.
Also featured is actress Milla Jovovich, who plays the role of Lt. Artemis in the film. The woman and her military unit get caught in a world infested with monsters. Actor Tony Jaa also makes an appearance in the teaser, playing a mysterious monster hunter. He is seen here with a bow and arrow.
The horned monster in the teaser is called Diablos.
First set photos were criticized by fans
What was criticized? For many fans of the series, the disappointment was already great when it became known that Milla Jovovich would play the lead role and Paul W.S. Anderson would direct. His last adaptation of a video game (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) was not well received by gamers. His wife Jovovich also played the lead role in that.
Military images led fans to fear that the film would have little in common with Monster Hunter.
Why does the leak look surprisingly good? Contrary to initial fears, many scenes in the teaser look quite authentic:
The Diablos appears well-animated and shows even the monster’s attack patterns. It bursts out of the desert sand and lets out a loud roar.
Two characters familiar from the game Monster Hunter World can be seen. A woman who looks like the Field Expert and the Admiral with his massive white hair also seems to have an appearance.
The shown hunter with a bow and arrow wears traditional Monster Hunter armor.
This is quite close to the Field Expert from Monster Hunter World.
Overall, the teaser looks much better than the initial set photos suggested. There is little evidence of a military tone. In post-production, the props, such as the armors, now appear to be of higher quality.
How the storyline will actually turn out remains to be seen. Because the plot has also been criticized so far:
A new major update for Overwatch is available from today, June 18, 2019, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A new challenge for Baptiste is online, bringing you some new cosmetics. There is also the new replay feature. Additionally, many heroes and even a game mode have been adjusted. We look at the patch notes in German.
What’s in the patch? The biggest highlight of the patch is likely the new challenge series for Baptiste. For this, you only need to win games in ranked, quick play, or arcade. As a reward, there are sprays, icons, and a new Baptiste skin.
What is the replay feature? The replay feature is something the community has wanted for some time. It allows you to rewatch the last ten games from different perspectives.
The feature is meant to help you analyze games better or record highlights. You get similar tools as those used in the Overwatch League, such as:
first person
third person
bird’s-eye view
slow motion and fast forward
What will change in attack mode? Attack maps will be adjusted slightly in favor of the defenders. Those defending an attack map will have it a bit easier:
the time you get to capture point A has been reduced from 4 to 3 minutes
dead defenders and those who died shortly after capturing point A will respawn at most 3.5 seconds later
This is intended to relieve defender teams, where individual players can still defend point A for as long as possible, and to reduce the overall duration of attack map matches. According to the developers, matches in ranked games have been taking too long otherwise.
Defenders now have an easier time on maps like Hanamura.
What will change with the heroes? A number of characters have been adjusted among the heroes. Both DPS heroes and healers as well as tanks have all received some adjustments:
Baptiste now has 12 units of healing ammunition instead of 10. Additionally, the duration of his Amplification Matrix has been increased from 8 to 10 seconds.
The length of D.Va’s Defense Matrix has been reduced from 15 to 10 meters.
McCree now shoots faster, with the recovery time between shots in the primary fire mode reduced from 0.5 to 0.42 seconds.
Orisa’s shield barrier can now be placed without interrupting her reload.
With Symmetra’s teleporters, interaction can now happen from 1.5 meters away (previously 1 meter).
Torbjörn’s secondary fire mode now deals only 10.5 instead of 12.5 damage per shot (105 total damage)
What else will be adjusted? The new workshop will receive some new features such as more effects, easier handling, and prettier graphics. Additionally, a number of bugs have been fixed. The full patch notes can be found on the official website.
Which changes do you like the most?
There may also be major announcements for Overwatch at Blizzcon:

After long weeks and months of waiting, we now know when the Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara for World of Warcraft will finally go live. This important WoW update arrives next week, on June 26th.
Patch 8.2 of WoW has been active on the test server for several weeks, and almost all content has been tested thoroughly. Now that the final tweaks are completed, the patch has received a release date.
What’s in Patch 8.2? Update 8.2 is likely to be one of the largest patches World of Warcraft has ever seen. It brings two completely new areas, namely Nazjatar and Mechagon.
While Nazjatar is primarily focused on the story around the Naga and Azshara, there is plenty to farm in Mechagon. Toys and other rewards await there.
How to start the pre-download: To ensure that you can start immediately on release day, you should activate the background download now. This way, the Battle.net launcher can download patches that are not live yet. So, only a few data need to be downloaded on release day, and a long waiting time will be avoided. The background download has not started yet.
Select “Settings” in the Battle.net launcher
Go to “Installation & Updates” and scroll down to “Game Updates”
Check the option “Keep the latest updates for recently played games and download data for future updates”
Set the amount of data in both points for “Network Bandwidth” to 0 (unlimited)
Now the Battle.net launcher will download the latest patch data as early as possible.
Are you excited for Patch 8.2? What will you do first after the release? Or would you rather wait for WoW Classic in August?

The return of Kyogre in Pokémon GO is happening for the 5th time now. But is it even worth doing raids or can the raid boss be neglected?
When is Kyogre returning? Tonight, on June 18th, at 10 PM Kyogre will conquer the raids again. For us German players, it will only be the case again tomorrow morning, as there are no more raids that late.
Is the raid boss still worth it? In short: Yes, Kyogre is still useful even after its 5th appearance in raids. We explain what makes Kyogre so good.
That’s why the return of Kyogre is good
How strong is Kyogre? The legendary Pokémon is by far the best Water attacker in the game. It is so good that no one will surpass Kyogre even in the following generations. You will benefit from the Water Pokémon for a very long time.
Especially against Groudon, Kyogre is quite useful
What do you need Kyogre for? The Water type is repeatedly important in battles. For example, Kyogre is the top counter against Groudon, which is returning after Kyogre.
Otherwise, Kyogre is also effective against the types Fire, Ground, and Rock. This means that you will also need Kyogre for the Entei raids in July, if you want to complete the global challenge there.
Kyogre has another advantage: The legendary Pokémon can also be found as shiny. The chance is about 1 in 19, so you have quite good odds of getting a shiny.
Kyogre can also be caught as shiny
This problem exists with Kyogre: Many players are not particularly fond of Kyogre. After all, the legendary Pokémon is now finding its 5th time in raids. For many players, that is simply too much.
However, considering Kyogre’s usability, one should be happy about every Kyogre raid.
These events you can take advantage of: This Wednesday, which is already tomorrow, June 19th, and next Wednesday, June 26th, there will be a raid hour with Kyogre each time. There you can encounter the Water Pokémon more often in raids.
Will you catch some more Kyogre or focus more on other raid bosses?
The latest killer “Ghost Face” is now available in Dead by Daylight. We reveal what the killer can do and what you can look forward to. We show you the abilities, costs, and perks.
As of today (06/18/2019), the latest patch for Dead by Daylight is live. The update mainly brought the new chapter “Ghost Face” and with it a brand new killer, which is now available for purchase as a DLC.
We will tell you what the new killer can do and why you should fear him.
What can Ghost Face do? Ghost Face is a fairly versatile killer who combines stealth elements from the Wraith and the Pig.
He can switch to a cloaked position where he has no terror radius. In this position, Ghost Face can “stalk” survivors to build a debuff that makes survivors particularly vulnerable for a while.

Additionally, Ghost Face can crouch to hide his red stain (which survivors might see as a warning) and peek around corners to secretly observe survivors and build the aforementioned debuff. Survivors can escape it if they look at Ghost Face quickly enough to cancel the stalking process.
These are Ghost Face’s perks: The new killer Ghost Face comes with three unique perks as usual. Initially, only Ghost Face can use these perks, but they can also be unlocked for other killers at levels 30, 35, and 40 in the bloodweb.
I’m All Ears: Activates aura reading. If survivors perform a hasty action outside of your terror radius, their aura will be shown for 6 seconds. This effect has a cooldown of 60/50/40 seconds.
Thrilling Tremors: If you pick up a survivor, all generators that are not currently being repaired will be blocked by the Entity for 16 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 100/80/60 seconds.
Furtive Chase: A survivor becomes your Obsession. When you hook your Obsession, you gain a token, up to a maximum of 2/3/4 tokens. Each token reduces your terror radius during a chase by 4 meters. If a survivor rescues your Obsession from the hook, the rescuer becomes the new Obsession. You lose all tokens if your Obsession is killed or sacrificed.
Is there also a survivor? The latest chapter is smaller than previous chapters. This means there is neither a new map nor a survivor. Only Ghost Face with his perks is included, which also explains the reduced price of the chapter.
How much does the DLC cost? The DLC “Dead by Daylight – Ghost Face” costs €4.99. Unlike many other contents, Ghost Face cannot be unlocked with in-game currency. This is the case for most licensed characters. His perks can still be unlocked if you find them in the shrine.
Have you already purchased Ghost Face? Or are you waiting and deciding later?
One of the most popular NPCs from Borderlands 2 is also in Borderlands 3, Tiny Tina – and she even fights vigorously by your side.
More and more details about Borderlands 3 have been released in recent days, and fans are eager for every little piece of information they can get.
During a Q&A session, the Creative Director Paul Sage was asked whether the Vault Hunters would fight alongside Tiny Tina in Borderlands 3. The short and concise answer: Yes. Tiny Tina will be actively assisting the Vault Hunters.
Who is Tiny Tina? Tiny Tina first appears in Borderlands 2 and is one of the supporting characters that has likely stayed in the memory of most players. For her 13 years, she is quite tough and does not shy away from blowing up trains or executing someone on an electric chair who delivered her parents to Hyperion (and thus Handsome Jack).

Where did Tiny Tina appear in Borderlands? Tiny Tina was indeed so popular that she appeared again in later DLCs of Borderlands 2.
The DLC “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” even features her as a central character. She is the “Dungeon Master” and guides the players through the DLC like in a pen-and-paper role-playing game. It becomes clear that this whole thing is actually just a coping strategy for the 13-year-old to process the death of loved ones.
Despite Tiny Tina being chaotic, brutal, and funny, she also has dark, emotional, and serious sides. A mix that makes her one of the most popular characters.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has been on the market for quite some time now. At the E3 2019, there was even new information about the game and the future holds a lot for players. But how is the game doing currently?
This is how Vermintide has performed so far: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has been available for over a year now. During this time, it has been re-released on various platforms:
So far, two DLCs have been released for Vermintide 2, sending players back to Bögenhafen in two missions and back to Ubersreik in three missions from the first part. Additionally, features have been improved. There are now challenges and support for mods.
Vermintide 2 is still popular and played.
How popular is Warhammer: Vermintide 2
How well is Vermintide 2 rated? The ratings for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 are still good and currently even better than average.
On Steam , Vermintide 2 receives 78% positive reviews in “recent reviews” compared to 75% positive reviews for “all reviews”.
On PS4 and Xbox One, the ratings are comparably good:
How many players play Vermintide 2? Since Vermintide 2 is playable on PC as well as consoles, the absolute number of players is hard to capture. Usually, there are no official numbers for Xbox One and PS4.
On PC, however, the number of players can be measured by steamcharts . According to the website, 3154 players played on average in the last 30 days, with up to 6423 players concurrently (as of June 18 at 5:00 PM).
This is a significant increase compared to the past months. After a small peak in March 2019, Vermintide 2 struggled with fewer players, who now seem to be returning.
Vermintide 2’s popularity on Twitch: A different picture emerges on Twitch. The developers Fatshark were able to attract almost 4000 viewers with a stream for the beta of the new expansion Winds of Magic.
However, looking back over the past 90 days, there has been a stagnation in viewer count. Constantly under 1000 viewers watched Vermintide 2.
Only in the last 10 days has it slowly started to recover, and the average goes up. However, Vermintide 2 only attracts many viewers during larger events.
Viewer trends on Twitch. Image source: sullygnome (as of June 18, 2019 at 5:00 PM)
How does the community feel about Vermintide 2? Even though Vermintide 2 often does not generate much interaction on Twitch, at least the corresponding subreddit is extremely active.
Currently, the subreddit has almost 50,000 members who post several threads daily, exchange ideas, and also provide guides for newcomers. A particularly popular recent post is titled: “I think Fatshark doesn’t realize the appeal of their own game“
In this discussion, fans talk about the pros and cons of the game, incentives for players, and their personal preferences in the game.
Wild brawling is enjoyed by many players.
What does the future hold for Warhammer: Vermintide 2?
Here are the plans for the upcoming period: Vermintide 2 apparently still has enough interest in the community, so Fatshark is working on development:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the game is supposed to evaluate the player’s behavior and respond to it. With various dialogues, NPCs will react when a player makes wrong decisions and endangers innocents.
This includes the fact that in the new shooter, civilians play a bigger role than in earlier games. And the player can also injure the bystanders.
It is now stated in an interview on the site Kotaku with Design Director Jakob Minkoff, that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is supposed to determine:
“whether a damn psycho is playing who shoots at everything”
or whether someone reasonable is playing who wants to do their job as a soldier, and is frustrated by a mistake: “Oh God, I made a mistake and feel really bad”
No mercy: The Juggernaut.
Minkoff says: “The game will try to find out if the player is such a psycho or trying to do their job.”
Many algorithms will be running in the background for this.
NPCs speak differently to the bad guys
What happens when you make mistakes? If you make nasty but forgivable mistakes, the NPCs are supposed to react differently to the player. They should let him feel his misconduct.
The story itself is linear, but in the context of the mission, there will be hints like: “Buddy, what did you just do? Damn it. I hope no one ever finds out about this.”
The Design Director talks about branching dialogues with allies. Minkoff even says that some animated scenes would change.
With these changes, Minkoff wants to increase the sensitivity of the players to how difficult a soldier’s job is.
This is how collateral damage is punished: However, it is not clear from the interview what consequences it has to be “a damn psycho who shoots at everything” – it only says “okay.”
A new stress test for World of Warcraft Classic is coming up. All players can participate – just not us in Europe. Blizzard explains the reason behind it.
When the announcement came a few hours ago that there would be another major stress test for WoW Classic, the anticipation was high. Because anyone with an active WoW subscription can participate – regardless of whether they have been able to play in the beta so far or not. However, European players quickly received the sad news: Sorry, that only applies to America and Oceania.
Why are Europeans not allowed to play? In the upcoming stress test, the entire server structure of a region is to be tested. The aim is to simulate the “launch conditions” and to specifically stress the servers that are available in America and Oceania. That is why the test is limited to players from this region.
Later test for Europe planned: After much criticism, Blizzard stated in the official forum that there would be further stress tests in other regions in July. European players would then also be able to participate and see for themselves the classic version of World of Warcraft.
Players argue in the forums: The topic of “Beta access” is hotly debated on social media and is a point of contention. Many players insist that they have a “right to play” because they have been customers for years. Other players point out that it is a beta test, so they have no rights. This is not a paid service but just a test, and Blizzard decides who gets to participate.
Are you looking forward to the later beta tests where “we” can play again? Or are you just waiting for the release?

The latest patch 9.30 of Fortnite is here and brings numerous cosmetics that are likely to appear in the coming weeks. We will show you all the outfits.
These skins are involved: Dataminers found various outfits in the new patch 9.30 that are likely to come to the shop. So far, you won’t find them in the shop yet.
This time, there is a whole bunch of new cosmetics. So you can look forward to a full shop in the near future.
Here are the cosmetics from patch 9.30 for Fortnite
These skins are available: 19 skins were found in the patch. Highlights are likely to be the skin reminiscent of Chewbacca from Star Wars and Heist, a skin with a cool mask.
These pickaxes are included: Along with numerous skins, there are also various pickaxes. Here, the focus is especially on the summer theme, which would fit with the new event found in the patch.
These back bling items are new: There are also some new items for back blings. For example, you can find the Shali-Shake and the rubber duck, which you should earn at “14 Days of Summer”.
Look forward to these gliders: One highlight among the gliders will likely be the tractor. Also cool is the jellyfish with which you will soon be able to fly around.
With this, you can soon paint weapons: A total of 11 wraps are waiting for you, with which you can paint weapons or vehicles. Here, the summer theme is also in the foreground.
Please note this when buying: These are purely cosmetic items. You will not get better just because you wear these outfits.
When will the cosmetics come to the shop? Nothing is known about the release of the skins. It is also quite possible that not everything will come to the shop, just as was the case with patch 8.20.
However, we can expect some of these cosmetics in the coming weeks.
What is your highlight? Which skin are you most looking forward to?
In League of Legends, the Twitch streamer Tyler1 is considered something like the neighborhood bully. However, a gift from the Korean mega-team SKT1 suddenly makes the usually tough Twitch troll seem rather cuddly.
Who is Tyler1? The muscular streamer is one of the most popular entertainers in the LoL streaming community. Tyler1 was banned for almost 2 years and was viewed by Riot Games as someone they didn’t want anymore in League of Legends due to his endless toxicity.
However, the streamer launched a campaign claiming he was now “back on the right path” and “reformed.” In recent years, he has established himself as one of the largest global streamers for League of Legends.
With 2.4 million followers, “loltyler1” ranks 20th among Twitch channels with the most followers.
Here he is in a good mood – but he can be different.
MAMA, how much mail do I have?
So the story goes: Tyler1 apparently came home after 8 months and expected a huge pile of fan mail because people constantly tell him they have sent him something. But Tyler1 was disappointed.
He recounts: “I came home and shouted, ‘Mama, how much mail do I have?!’ And it turned out to be only two boxes.

This was the special gift: Live on camera, Tyler then opened a package. And it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

The return of Kyogre in Pokémon GO is approaching and the monster can already be easily defeated by three players. We show you how to do it even at level 25.
You need this level: With three players, you shouldn’t have any problems and can easily defeat Kyogre. Even if you have the best counters only at level 25, you can still take down Kyogre with three players.
These counters are good: Kyogre is a Water-type Pokémon, making it vulnerable to Electric and Grass types.
Kyogre is returning to raids and is also available as a Shiny.
How to succeed at low levels: The weaker your Pokémon are, the more tricks you have to use. For instance, the highest friendship level is important and so is the weather, as it makes your Pokémon stronger in battle.
Defeating Kyogre at Level 25 – Here’s how
You need these requirements: To defeat Kyogre at level 25, a lot has to come together. You need suitable weather and your two partners must be best friends with you.
Raikou is the best counter against Kyogre
You can use these Pokémon: The list of possible Pokémon is limited to three Pokémon. Use these monsters:
Raikou with Thunder Shock and Wild Charge (only in rain)
Magnezone with Spark and Wild Charge (only in rain)
Roserade with Razor Leaf and Grass Knot (only in sun)
Defeating Kyogre at Level 30 – Here’s how
You need these requirements: You can also defeat Kyogre here regardless of the weather. However, a high friendship level is still necessary.
Mewtwo with Thunderbolt is a good alternative as a counter
Without weather bonuses, you can use the following Pokémon at level 30:
Raikou with Thunder Shock and Wild Charge
Magnezone with Spark and Wild Charge
With the right weather, you can use the following Pokémon in addition to the previously mentioned counters:
Electivire with Thunder Shock and Wild Charge (only in rain)
Luxray with Spark and Wild Charge (only in rain)
Mewtwo with Confusion and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
Zapdos with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
Grovyle with Bullet Seed and Solar Beam (only in sun)
Leafeon with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade (only in sun)
Shiftry with Bullet Seed and Grass Knot (only in sun)
Venusaur with Vine Whip and Solar Beam (only in sun)
Defeating Kyogre at Level 35 – Here’s how
You need these requirements: At level 35, the weather and friendship level are not as crucial. If you use the best counters, you can manage even without these bonuses.
Even Deoxys can be used against Kyogre with the right attacks
As best friends, you can now use the following Pokémon without weather bonuses:
Electivire with Thunder Shock and Wild Charge
Luxray with Spark and Wild Charge
Roserade with Razor Leaf and Grass Knot
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Thunderbolt
If you benefit from the weather bonus and are best friends, you can also bring these Pokémon at level 35:
Jolteon with Thunder Shock and Charge Beam (only in rain)
Deoxys with Charge Beam and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
Melmetal with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
Tangrowth with Vine Whip and Solar Beam (only in sun)
Venusaur with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade (only in sun)
Shiftry with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade (only in sun)
Defeating Kyogre at Level 40 – Here’s how
You need these requirements: At level 40, you have a wide selection of counters. You are also not really dependent on the weather and friendship level anymore. However, if you choose weaker Pokémon, these factors are still important.
At level 40, Venusaur becomes a really strong counter
Without weather bonuses, you can now attack Kyogre with the following Pokémon:
Tangrowth with Vine Whip and Solar Beam
Venusaur with Vine Whip and Solar Beam
With weather bonuses, the list of possible counters gets even longer. The following Pokémon can now defeat Kyogre with three players:
Meganium with Vine Whip and Solar Beam (only in sun)
Exeggutor with Bullet Seed and Seed Bomb (only in sun)
Tangela with Vine Whip and Leaf Tornado (only in sun)
Latios with Zen Headbutt and Solar Beam (only in sun)
Magneton with Thunder Shock and Charge Beam (only in rain)
What does your battle team against Kyogre look like? What are your favorites?
In the middle of Mega Mall, you will find the Fortbyte
Fortbyte #59: Accessible with emote “Durrr!” in Pizza Pit restaurant
Here you need to search: Before you can go to the restaurant, you need to unlock the emote. The required emote is available at level 53 of the Battle Pass. Select it and start a round.
Then fly to Mega Mall. There is a large Pizza Pit restaurant located on the upper floor of the shopping mall. Enter it and go to the left through the door. Once inside, keep to the right, because that’s where the Fortbyte is. Then use the emote, and you can collect the puzzle piece.
This is the restaurant in question
Watch out for your surroundings: At the locations of the Fortbytes, there are often campers waiting to get easy kills. So don’t get caught before collecting the byte.
Check out this video: We have embedded a video here that shows the location again clearly. This way, you can’t miss the byte:

The Final Fantasy 14 we know today is not the original version of the MMORPG. When addressed about Classic servers at E3, Game Director Naoki Yoshida reacted in a special way.
The intro from the original version of Final Fantasy 14.
FF14 Classic would be a nightmare
This is how Yoshida reacted: As soon as the question was asked, the Game Director broke into laughter. When the question was finally translated, he only replied with “Nightmare.”
Why did he react this way? Final Fantasy 14 originally came out in 2010 and did not impress at all. It also received poor ratings in tests. Subsequently, Square Enix decided to reboot the MMORPG and redevelop it under the name “Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn” under the leadership of Naoki Yoshida.
Though it was graphically prettier, version 1.0 of FFXIV was technically considered a disaster.
What did the Game Director say about the Classic version? Yoshida explained that there are indeed requests to bring back the original version of the MMORPG. However, Square Enix does not want to revive this “stain in the history of Final Fantasy” anymore.
According to Yoshida, such a version could be very off-putting and could lead players to stop playing the current version altogether. He mentioned that no one can imagine how many players dropped out from the original version at that time. This should not happen again.
So currently, there are no plans to bring back this old version of Final Fantasy 14.

This is how Final Fantasy 14 1.0 went down.
Why wasn’t the version good? On Reddit, there is a thread that highlights the weaknesses of version 1.0 of FF14. Here are some of the points:
The story often only progressed when one could defeat overpowered monsters.
Maps were copied and simply mirrored for reuse.
The difficulty level “Hard” was disproportionately high.
Navigating to the merchants in the overcrowded market was a chore.
The interface was unnecessarily complicated.
Many of the NPCs from 1.0 are also met in the current version of FFXIV. Momodi is one of them.
Fans Show Understanding
How do Final Fantasy fans react to this? Many find Naoki Yoshida’s reaction funny and also understandable. Those who played the game in version 1.0 said that it really was that bad, and basically no one wants it back.
However, some wish that more of the lore from the first version of Final Fantasy 14 finds its way into the MMORPG.
Hero2Zero91 says on Reddit: “His laughter says it all. Anyone asking for 1.0 servers would be shocked if they switched to ‘A Realm Reborn.'”
FFFan92 says: “As someone who played 1.0, I must say: It was worse than many people think.”
kaysn explains: “I would like to see the official lore of 1.0 either in the form of books or as videos. It should simply be told what led to ‘A Realm Reborn.'”

The developers stated as a reason that there are currently too many explosive weapons. Already last week the Proximity Grenade Launcher was introduced.
Weapon Changes – Shotguns: The cooldown for switching shotguns now only applies when the player carries multiple shotguns. The type does not matter. This still prevents the double pump, but you will not be penalized if you only have one shotgun.
Additionally, the combat shotgun now deals 10 to 20% less damage at medium and long range.
New limited time game mode: The following modes are temporarily available in the game:
Snipe Duos: Here, only sniper rifles are available.
Trios: The popular trio mode is back.
Pure Gold (Teams): Here, only legendary weapons are available.
Gameplay Changes and Bug Fixes: Among other things, the following adjustments have been made:
You can no longer ride on the grenades from the proximity grenade launcher.
Storm spinners and regular storms now deal damage at the same time.
You can no longer build or place traps around a reboot bus.
Proximity grenade launcher will no longer reload when aiming through the scope.

Highlights of Patch Notes 9.30 for Fortnite: Save the World
New Storm Shield Defense Mission – Stamina: This mission consists of 30 increasingly difficult waves of enemies that target your fortress.

Blizzard is launching a new, small event in Overwatch. If you want this cool skin of Baptiste, you need to win some matches.
In a Developer Update, Game Director Jeff Kaplan talked about the upcoming patch for Overwatch.

This is what the new skin looks like: The new Baptiste skin significantly resembles the sterile, white clothing of a typical doctor. It also features a cool helmet with a medic cross projection. Overall, the whole skin screams “healer” as it has several “Mèdecin” inscriptions on the body. If you are a Baptiste fan, you should not miss out on this skin.
What needs to be done for the skin? As long as the small event is active, you just need to win 9 matches in Overwatch, and you will automatically unlock the new Baptiste skin. It does not matter in which game mode you bring home the victory. You can earn the wins in Quick Match, as well as Ranked or various modes in the Arcade.
Important:
You do not necessarily have to play Baptiste for this. You can use any character as usual; the only thing that matters is the victory.
When does the event start? The Baptiste Challenge should go live immediately with the launch of the next patch. This will happen either on June 18 or June 25. As soon as the skin is available, we will update this news.
What do you think of the new Baptiste skin? Is it worth it? Or do you not like it at all?
Since Mordhau was released, it is often compared to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. After the announcement of Chivalry 2 at E3 2019, this has happened even more frequently. MeinMMO compares what distinguishes the games and which one is suitable for you.
Why are we comparing Mordhau and Chivalry? Both Mordhau and Chivalry are multiplayer action games in which players fight against each other in large battles or together against AI.
The games focus on medieval melee combat, bows, and other weapons that players can use in battle. They also look very similar, although Mordhau appears significantly more modern.
Many people are now asking why they should spend money on Mordhau if they already own Chivalry: Medieval Warfare or which game they should acquire. However, the games differ in many aspects.
The title screen of Chivalry: Is anyone still playing this?
What distinguishes Mordhau and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare?
The combat system
Both games build on melee-heavy encounters between players with swords and other melee weapons. The controls are similar as well. There are various strikes, feints, and blocks in both games. Both games also generally offer siege weapons.
This is how the combat system works in Chivalry: In Chivalry, there is an exploit that has become infamous in the community. If you swing your weapon while turning, you hit in a different or larger area. This allows you to hit right at the beginning of the swing so that opponents can hardly react.
This is how the combat system works in Mordhau: In Mordhau, the combat system is generally regarded as better. Blocks generally work when they are made, horses add a new dimension to the entire system, and strikes react to the direction of the hit, not to the character’s rotation.
The community summed this up in a video with the cynical title: “When Mordhau annoys you, remember…”

What game modes are there?
This is what Chivalry offers: Chivalry offers both an offline single-player mode and an online multiplayer mode. There are by default seven different game modes:
Free for All
Duels
Team Deathmatch
Last Man Standing
King of the Hill
Capture the Flag
Team Objective
This is what Mordhau offers: In contrast, Mordhau offers fewer and different modes:
Deathmatch
Skirmish
Frontline
Horde (PvE)
Battle Royale
The game modes in the main menu of Mordhau. There are more among the servers.
What classes are available?
The classes in Chivalry: In Chivalry, the selection of classes is limited to four and fixed. For each class, you can choose from different but fixed weapons. There are:
Archer
Man-at-Arms
Pikeman
Knight
The classes in Mordhau: In contrast, Mordhau has predefined standard classes, but a large part of the game consists of unlocking new weapons and creating your own classes (“Mercenaries”). We have presented our seven best classes here:
Here you can play Chivalry: Chivalry is now playable on PC (Steam), Mac, Linux, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
Here you can play Mordhau: In contrast, Mordhau is currently only playable on PC via Steam. A version for PS4 and Xbox One seems possible, but is not yet planned (via gamepro).
Chivalry also runs on consoles, even on older ones.
How many players are playing the games?
This many players does Chivalry have: As Chivalry is playable on several platforms, the actual number of players is difficult to determine. However, on Steam, an average of 356 players played in the last 30 days according to steamcharts (as of June 17 at 8 PM).
This many players does Mordhau have: In contrast, Mordhau has an average player count of 19,333 players in the last 30 days (via steamcharts, as of June 17 at 8 PM). The influx of players on the servers was occasionally so large that they crashed.
Which game is better now?
This is what the community says about the games: Currently, Mordhau is much better received in the community than Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Even in the Chivalry subreddit, memes are shared that show that Mordhau is the better game:

Players are particularly bothered by Chivalry because:
the developers seem to make little effort
the combat system is not good and can be exploited
many bugs exist that seem to have never been addressed.
In contrast, Mordhau is praised for:
the class editor is extraordinarily well done
fights feel smoother and more “real”
the developers maintain a dialogue with the community and can show more visible work.
Especially the class editor receives a lot of love from the community.
Which game is suitable for me? If you are torn between the two games, consider where your focus lies. The reddit user thick1988 writes:
Mordhau: Better combat, better progression system
Chivalry: Better maps, better game modes
It should be noted that Chivalry 2 has already been announced. Although it will be released exclusively on the controversial Epic Store for PC, it is likely the better choice compared to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare:
Have you also felt recently that more Guardians are hanging around in Destiny 2? You could be right, as player numbers are said to have risen to over a million Guardians in the past week. This information comes from a Discord bot that reads the statistics of active players.
What about the player numbers? Destiny 2 seems to be thriving right now: Bungie’s shooter reportedly surpassed the one million player mark last week. 1.01 million Guardians were said to have been roaming around in Destiny 2 on June 15 alone. Naturally, servers are fuller on weekends than on weekdays.
The players are distributed among the activities as follows, with some Guardians playing multiple modes:
PvE: 960,000 players
Crucible: 482,000 players
Gambit: 272,000 players
Raids: 141,000 players
The numbers refer to Guardians across all platforms combined and are sourced from the Discord bot Charlemagne. This bot extracts Guardian data from Bungie’s API.
With the upcoming expansion, Year 1 of Destiny will also become Free-to-Play. With “New Light,” new players can dive into the Destiny universe. If they want to experience more of the game, they can purchase the expansions and seasons they are currently interested in.
With the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep, Destiny 2 returns to the Moon
What do the players say?Players express their excitement on Twitter about Destiny being on the rise right now. For instance, Pyro Gaming states that many games have been called Destiny killers. Yet Destiny 2 still lives on despite Anthem, Division 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fortnite.
NerfThatNerd further mentions that with the upcoming expansion, there might be 5 million Guardians.
There is speculation on Reddit about why the player numbers have surged. Guardians suspect that it is due to the positive feedback regarding the Season of Opulence and the Menagerie, as well as the news about the upcoming changes in October.
