Data miners have leaked a new time-limited mode for Fortnite that could be coming soon. Along with this, there is speculation about a powerful shotgun.
What has been found? Data miners have discovered a loading screen that hints at a mode featuring soldiers. It is suspected that this time-limited mode (LTM) is related to D-Day, which celebrated its anniversary on June 6.
If you take a closer look at the image, there are also hints of a new weapon that a skin is holding.
This is what the data miners found about the LTM
What does the loading screen look like? Looking at the image, it is reminiscent of D-Day in 1944 when Allied forces from the USA landed in Normandy.

7 Details, die ihr zum Gameplay von Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order kennen solltet
There have been many new details in the last few hours about Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. We have compiled some important points for you.
At EA Play 2019, about 15 minutes of gameplay were showcased, in which protagonist Cal fights through factories and forests, mowing down various members of the Empire. From the gameplay shown, a lot of details can already be derived, though some also come from interviews with the developers.
We present to you 7 interesting details from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
1. The Force powers are limited
Those who want to use Force powers must pay attention to their Force energy bar. Only when this bar is charged can a Force power be used.
So those who want to throw around abilities continuously will ultimately be forced into melee combat to beat back some enemies. You cannot play as a pure “Force user” without using the lightsaber.
This ensures a dynamic between the Force and the lightsaber. The player will constantly be forced into melee combat, even while dealing significant damage with Force powers.
2. Cal and his enemies can block
All characters in the game have an additional resource bar with which they can block. This might remind some gamers a bit of Sekiro. Basically, this bar only indicates how long and often enemies can still block before their defense is broken and they are defenseless.
It is therefore important to manage this resource and to strike back at the right moment.
3. Enemies have strengths and weaknesses
While most stormtroopers can be killed by almost any type of attack, there are many special enemies who cannot be so easily outsmarted.
Enemies with melee weapons can resist being pulled by the Force, and some fighters will even easily parry strikes from the lightsaber.
Thus, it will be necessary to develop a specific tactic for most enemies and memorize what they are weak against and what can overwhelm them. Simply mashing buttons won’t lead to victory.
4. Abilities can be improved with skill points
Throughout the game, Cal earns experience points and can distribute these to various skills. Those who wish can, for example, enhance their Force powers so that they become stronger or last longer.
Alternatively, Cal’s handling of the lightsaber can also be improved, allowing him to better hurt his enemies in melee and possibly break their block meter more quickly.
Distributing talents is possible at resting points when Cal meditates. There, you can also save. This is reminiscent of the campfires from Dark Souls and is inspired by them.
5. You get a spaceship to travel from planet to planet
It has also been revealed that Cal can have his own spaceship. With the Stinger Mantis, he can not only fly from planet to planet but also find rest to distribute his skill points. The appearance of the ship is also said to be customizable, so there will be various skins.
Additionally, you should be able to perform “various additional activities” on the ship, but no details have been released yet.
6. There are parkour and climbing sections like in Tomb Raider
Although the showcased gameplay clearly focuses on combat, that is far from everything that makes up the gameplay. Comparable to the “Tomb Raider” series, there will also be climbing and parkour sections where skill and quick reactions are needed.
Apart from that, there will also be some puzzles to introduce calmer moments into the game. However, these should not be overly difficult and simply provide a nice change of pace from the action experienced during battles.
The proximity to other games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider is, by the way, no coincidence:
7. There are cosmetics, but no microtransactions
Even beforehand, the developers announced that Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order will not feature microtransactions. However, this does not mean that there are no cosmetic items in the game.
You can unlock various cosmetic items for Cal, including saber grips and new colors for your lightsaber. You can also color your droid and thus customize it.

FIFA 20: EA finally promises innovations for Pro Clubs and Career Mode
New features for Pro Clubs and Career Mode in FIFA 20 were announced during the EA Play stream, and hardly anyone noticed. The information was only visible for a short time.
This was seen in the stream: During the Reveal stream for FIFA 20, the focus was mainly on the new Street mode VOLTA and the gameplay innovations for FIFA 20. Hence, it was easy to overlook that a roadmap was shown at minute 20:55.
Visible there: Dates for EA’s upcoming “Deep Dives”, i.e., dates when EA plans to talk in detail about FIFA 20 innovations.
- Gameplay: Mid-July
- Career Mode: End of July
- Pro Clubs: End of July
- FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: Early August
- VOLTA: Early August
Update 7.8.19.: You can read all new information about the Career Mode in FIFA 20 here.
It is surprising to see the mention of Pro Clubs and the Career Mode. Both modes have not received much focus from EA for years, and many FIFA fans desire significant innovations.
What innovations will there be? So far, no details about the innovations for the two modes are known. EA has only announced that they will talk in detail about Pro Clubs and the Career Mode of FIFA 20 at the end of July. It is certainly conceivable that we may see the biggest innovations of recent years. It is indeed unusual for EA to dedicate separate presentations to these two modes.
How the Career Mode could be improved
This is what we wish for the Career Mode: The Career Mode in FIFA is popular among many players. However, there have been hardly any innovations in several FIFA versions, making the mode less appealing for experienced players.
Therefore, the Career Mode urgently needs these features:
- Introduction of youth leagues: With youth leagues in Career Mode, young players would have the opportunity to gain match experience and improve as a result. This would be significantly more realistic than before and much more practical for the manager’s daily routine.
- Better transfer behavior of the CPU: Often, it is extremely difficult to sell players. The CPU clubs simply have no interest in the players on our transfer list. We therefore wish for an increased/realistic interest in the players we want to sell.
- Online Career Mode: Many FIFA players are certainly familiar with it: losing matches against the computer loses its appeal over time, especially when it no longer poses a challenge even on World Class difficulty. Online matches would be the solution. NHL and NFL games set the example; in the so-called “Connected Career”, it is possible to compete against other players or friends.
Pro Clubs urgently needs new features
This is what we wish for Pro Clubs:
- Gameplay for CPU teammates needs to improve
- A more extensive progression system for the player
- More customization options for the Pro and the Club
- More modes: Multiplayer training arena, social area
- More information about the opponents
This is the problem with Pro Clubs: The mode has many loyal followers and passionate fans. There are even players who only play FIFA because of the Pro Club mode. It is therefore a pity that the mode has received very few innovations from EA in recent years.
A good example of EA’s lack of attention to Pro Clubs is the positions bug in FIFA 19’s Club mode. This annoying bug was only poorly fixed 5 months after its release.
By the way, we already wished for new features for Pro Clubs even before the release of FIFA 19. Since there were none, our wishes can be perfectly transferred to FIFA 20.

Pokémon GO: How to earn an extra 25,000 Stardust tomorrow
Monday morning brings the rewards for Adventure Sync in Pokémon GO! This week you can snag an extra 25,000 Stardust. We’ll tell you what you need to do for that.
That’s why there’s extra dust: The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO is currently running. There you will also get extra bonuses for Adventure Sync if you have walked over 50 kilometers.
You can easily multiply this bonus and thus get even more Stardust.
Secure an extra 25,000 Stardust
What are the rewards? If you have walked 50 kilometers this week, you will receive a total of 50,000 Stardust and 15 special candies as a reward on Monday morning at 9 AM. This specifically applies to the Adventure Week and lasts only for 2 weeks.
How do you get the extra dust? Just use a Star Piece before you receive your reward on Monday. You will always receive it at 9 AM local time.
So if you throw a Star Piece tomorrow morning, June 10th, shortly before 9 AM, you will receive 75,000 Stardust instead of 50,000, as the item multiplies every dust by 1.5.
We recommend throwing the Star Piece around 8:45 AM to avoid any issues at 9 AM.
This also works: The bonus from the Adventure Week continues for the following week. On June 17th, there is also the chance for 75,000 Stardust, provided you walk 50 kilometers during the week beforehand.
How long is the Adventure Week still going? While you can still use the bonus with the Stardust until next week, all other bonuses from the Adventure Week will only last until Tuesday at 10 PM.
Until then, you can still take advantage of bonuses like 10x XP on new PokéStops and numerous Rock-type Pokémon in the wild.
The last Community Day didn’t go well for Pokémon GO. A repeat is on the table:

Deal at the Microsoft Store creates chaos with Xbox Gold – “Best deal of all time”
There is chaos in Microsoft’s store before the press conference at E3 2019. A deal is causing panic there – apparently it’s buggy, but in favor of players on Xbox One. For little money, subscribers of Xbox Live Gold can, with a trick, purchase the Xbox Game Pass for years.
What is this deal? The Microsoft Store is currently offering the “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate” for $1 per month. Normally it costs $15. That’s a savings of 93%, as Microsoft announces on the site.
It is believed to be a special deal, which is set to go live this evening for E3 2019. Microsoft is apparently trying to get players to acquire the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and offers a rock-bottom price for a trial.
In fact, the $1 price should only apply to the first month.
What does the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate include? The pass includes Xbox Live Gold and the Xbox Game Pass. This means you can play online and have access to a collection of games; the Game Pass is kind of a “gaming flat rate.”
Players get 3 years of Game Pass cheaply with a trick
What is the trick? As many players report (via reddit), there seems to be a bug or at least a loophole in the offer that significantly benefits the buyers.
Anyone with an Xbox Live subscription that is still active can currently upgrade this Xbox Live subscription to “Game Pass Ultimate” for $1 for the full duration of the subscription, up to three years.
As a result, players can purchase the otherwise much more expensive Game Pass for a bargain price.
What chaos is occurring on Reddit? The deal became known a few hours ago, and buyers can hardly believe their luck. They are sharing it in a thread that is currently growing on reddit.
Something seems to be totally buggy. Players are saying it is “the best deal of all time.”
One person said he bought the offer without having a Game Pass beforehand. However, he still had Xbox Live Gold active for 1 year.
With the purchase, he got the “Game Pass” practically for free for 1 year – he only paid $1, extended his Xbox Live Gold for this month, and upgraded the entire time with the Game Pass.
Others say they managed to get up to 3 years of Game Pass for $1 by “upgrading” a “long-standing Xbox Live” subscription with this pass.
Offer also available in the German Store
Where is this offer in German? To Microsoft Store and the offer can be found here.
There the month costs €1 instead of €12.99.
Does Microsoft really respect this offer? This is still unclear at the moment. Some believe that Microsoft has made a mistake here and will correct it. They are predicting a rude awakening for the supposed lucky individuals.
Others believe that this deal is indeed intended by Microsoft. There is also a clause in the terms of use.
The question is whether they really foresaw this drastic loophole that players are now exploiting.
In any case, Microsoft will likely have to respond to this phenomenon in some form.

The Division 2: New Update 4 looks great – but some content is still missing
In The Division 2, the next update, Title Update 4, looks really good. But we still don’t know which new missions and content we are supposed to play. The update is all about improvements to the gameplay. Will we find out at E3 2019 when new content is coming?
This is the situation: Players had to wait a long time for the last update in The Division 2 and were rather disappointed:
- the raid was only suitable for a few, requiring a fixed group of 8 players – especially for agents on PS4 and Xbox One, the activity was extremely tough
- the secret missions were finished quickly and didn’t offer much for players
- the other changes to the game did not really make a significant impact
After the long wait of 6 weeks, there was more of a hangover feeling among the agents after Update 3. The good mood from the first weeks of The Division 2 faded away.
This is what the new update brings: But the mood seems to be improving significantly now. Because Update 4, which is on the PTS, is doing everything right so far. Some changes even excite the fans:
- with the Gunner comes a new specialization, which looks diverse
- overall, Update 4 revamps all specializations and brings players more freedom – this is very well received
- the special ammunition is also being revised, so that players can reliably farm it
Will we find out at E3 how things will continue with The Division 2?
Is there a catch? Even though The Division 2 is getting better, players are wondering what exactly they should play?
- Most missions have been played by people multiple times
- the raid forces group play and is not for everyone
- PvP still seems relatively unnecessary
The question is therefore: What new game content does Update 4 bring besides gameplay improvements?
We don’t know that at the moment. Perhaps Ubisoft has chosen the press conference at E3 2019 to present new content and game modes that will be released with Update 4 in June.
Maybe we also have to wait for the first DLC, which will probably take some time.
On reddit, players are primarily hoping for “new missions that continue the story” or new game modes, like what The Division 1 brought, such as a survival mode.

Jedi: Fallen Order was not meant to be a Star Wars at all
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not originally conceived as Star Wars. A suggestion from EA guided the game in the right direction.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order brings high expectations. Fans of Star Wars have long been waiting for a new major single-player game. Originally, Jedi: Fallen Order was not even intended to be a title in the Star Wars universe.
What was said? The magazine Gamespot spoke with Stig Asmussen from the development team and touched on the origins of the game. It turns out that Respawn did not actually want to make a game in the “Star Wars” universe.
Instead, they had just pitched another game and presented a demo that had similarities to SoulsBorne games from FromSoftware. The people at EA then said they saw something in the demo that would fit very well for a “Star Wars” game.
The gameplay mechanics existed before the story: The developers accepted the offer. This was hardly a problem in development, as most gameplay mechanics were easy to adapt and transform. There had hardly been any thoughts about the story at that point; first, the gameplay had to work.
Thus, the core mechanics could be easily transferred and adapted into Jedi: Fallen Order. The intended game was also supposed to have a strong focus on melee action, just as will now be the case with lightsaber swinging.
Players should be able to live out power fantasy: However, Jedi: Fallen Order will likely have a significantly different difficulty level than the Soulsborne games for which the developer FromSoftware is famous.
This is mainly because with Star Wars, a larger player base is addressed and not just a relatively small niche that seeks particularly tough challenges. Moreover, you step into the role of an aspiring Jedi, where players should feel powerful.
This means, however, that Jedi: Fallen Order will not be a walk in the park. Almost every enemy has some counters against the main character Cal and requires an appropriate strategy to be defeated. Especially in combination, the enemies should act cleverly.
Are you looking forward to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? Or would you have preferred a significantly harder game?

Battlefield 5 at EA Play 2019 delights and disappoints players
The EA Play 2019 was not a real spectacle for many fans, especially players of Battlefield 5 were disappointed – at least if they are active on reddit. Here are their reasons.
What was announced for Battlefield 5? At EA Play 2019, DICE provided further insights into the new maps that will be released with Chapter 4.
Additionally, there was a look ahead to Chapter 5, which is set to arrive in October 2019. This will primarily focus on the conflict between the USA and Japan.
These issues are seen by players in the announcement
What are the fans complaining about? For many players, the announcements were nothing new. Just a few days ago, DICE uploaded a trailer for the new maps. Now there was only a deeper insight and the first real gameplay.
Also the info about private matches is not new. This was announced a week ago.
For many fans, EA Play was just a summary of all the information that had been released in the last few days about Battlefield 5.
These are the statements from players: Especially on Reddit:
- Aureliocr: “They just summarized the announcements from the last few months. What a disappointing EA Play event!”
- Untamed96: “I woke up at 3 AM for this ‘great’ event…”
- Dr40oz: “EA Play was disappointing for Battlefield 5. It felt like they just read their last Reddit update. There was nothing new.”
Who liked the event?
What do the dissenting voices say? Some players found the event not bad. Although there were no new announcements, it summarized what only players who follow Reddit have learned so far.
As Toomadtoplay writes: “Not everyone follows Reddit or other channels where Battlefield 5 shows their announcements. It wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t talk about what to expect next.”
How one experienced EA Play 2019 as a Battlefield 5 player strongly depends on how much information one had beforehand going into the event.
What do you think of the announcements at EA Play? Are you disappointed that there was hardly anything new?

The Lumina could become the 1st weapon in Destiny 2 that heals others
Data miners have uncovered some interesting info about the upcoming exotic hand cannon of Season 7. It is now known what the new firearm “Lumina” can do. This hasn’t been seen before in Destiny 2.
This is what the weapon is about: As part of Season 7, Destiny 2 will be receiving a new exotic hand cannon Lumina. Bungie revealed this in a Roadmap.
Now users in the Raid-Secrets subreddit have supposedly found out what the Lumina is all about in detail. Keep in mind, this is not official info! Enjoy these details with the appropriate caution.
This is what the exotic hand cannon “Lumina” can do
Where does this info come from? A Reddit user stumbled upon the description of an exotic perk while sifting through the data-mining results, which can only belong to Lumina. Comparing it to the Dorn makes it clear why.
What is the Lumina supposed to do? According to data, kills with the weapon (the Lumina) leave remnants, a kind of sphere. If one absorbs a remnant, the next shot from the hip is converted into a “Noble Round,” which refills the magazine partially.
These Noble Rounds track allied targets. If a Noble Round is used on an ally (i.e., hits them), it heals the ally and temporarily increases weapon damage for you and the hit Guardian.
By the way: The term Noble Rounds is seen by some fans as a direct reference to Dredgen Yor, who was sometimes referred to as “The Noble Man” in the Grimoire entries of Destiny 1. Yor was once known as Rezyl Azzir – the owner of the Rose before it became the Dorn.
For comparison – here’s what the Dorn can do: The Dorn fires projectiles that penetrate their targets and inflict additional damage over time. Kills with the Dorn also leave remnants – just like with the Lumina. However, when a remnant is absorbed, it strengthens the poison effect of the Dorn.
So it is immediately clear: The Lumina essentially does the opposite of the Dorn, which fits perfectly with the lore and concept of this weapon duo.
This is why it’s so special: Should this info be confirmed, then Destiny would have the first weapon that can heal and simultaneously strengthen other Guardians. For the first time, completely support-oriented builds would be possible – for example, in combination with the Warlock’s Blessing of Grace, who could then fully function as a healer.
How fans are reacting: Many are excited about this discovery by the data miners and can hardly wait to experiment with Lumina and build healer and support setups.
Bungie has announced more RPG elements for Destiny 2 when revealing the Shadowkeep expansion, but that it comes this quickly was unexpected – some fans jokingly remarked.
How exactly does one get the Lumina? However, fans will have to wait a while to see if the data miners are right with their find – unless Bungie presents the weapon in detail.
Because the Lumina is tied to the so-called Lumina quest, which will start on July 2nd. According to Ginsor, Guardians will be sent on a long quest to find the original form of the Dorn, namely the Rose. This will then need to be purified in order to ultimately obtain the Lumina.
The individual steps include a wide range of different tasks, such as
- completing a Nightfall with 50,000 points or more
- completing the Blind Source, forging the Black Armory, or participating in the Escalation Protocol
- playing Gambit
- killing the Worm God Xol in the “Will of Thousands” Nightfall
- as well as some additional tasks
It seems that PvP cannot be entirely avoided either. Additionally, it looks like players will, as with the Dorn quest, be able to choose in which activity they can complete certain quest steps.
What do you think of the Lumina’s perks, should they be confirmed like this? Do you see this as an interesting exotic?

19 months after release, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 gets a huge update
In Star Wars: Battlefront 2, a huge update is waiting for you! 19 months after the game was released, various new features will come to you this month.
What is waiting for you? The developers announced a huge update, which will include, among other things, Droidekas. The rolling droids have been a long-standing wish of the community and are finally coming to the game after 1.5 years.
Along with the new droids, many other features will come to the game, such as a new map. We give you an overview.
What’s in the huge update of Battlefront 2
When will the update be released? On June 26, it will be time. From then on, you can admire the numerous new features in the game.
What’s all included? In a long post in the Battlefront forum, the developers explain the innovations in the upcoming update. We show you the highlights:
- The rolling droids Droidekas are coming and reinforcing the battle droid side
- Naboo comes as a new map where you can play the game mode “Total Domination”
- The TX-130 comes as a new tank that is also good in defense
- Anakin Skywalker gets a new outfit, which is known from the Clone Wars series
What players are most excited about: With the Droidekas, a true fan wish comes to the game. They can evolve into 3 different forms.
One is the wheel form, allowing for rapid movement, and the other is the turret form, where they can fire with two cannons simultaneously. This is rounded off with an energy shield that can be formed around them. This shield can block shots from enemies.
What’s next? EA also provided a glimpse into the future of Battlefront. A new planet, Felucia, is expected to be added later this year. New locations will be waiting for you there.
In August, there will be more information about a new type of battles. These are said to differ from traditional PvP experiences, EA explains. What exactly will be coming is still unknown.
The last major update for Battlefront 2 was in March:

Huge E3 advertisement reveals that Avenger’s Project is coming to almost every platform
Square Enix revealed on a new promotional banner on which platforms their new game, Avenger’s Project, will be released. Almost all systems are included, with PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. Only the Nintendo Switch is missing.
On which platforms will Marvel’s Avengers be released? A few days before their E3 conference, Square Enix released a huge promotional banner with the slogan “Embrace Your Powers.” Coincidentally, it also listed the platforms for which Marvel’s Avengers will be released:
- PC
- Xbox One
- PS4
- Google Stadia
This banner also means that Switch fans will unfortunately miss out on Marvel’s Avengers. Square has not given official reasons for this, but gamers suspect that it might be technically too demanding for the Switch.
However, there is still a possibility that the game will also be released on the PS5 and the next Xbox console.
What fans are speculating about: The official announcement of the platforms for Marvel’s Avengers has sparked many speculations on Reddit. There is still not much known about the game:
- Will there be crossplay between platforms?
- Will it be released in 2019 as a launch title for Stadia?
- What will the setting be?
- What are the chances that Marvel’s Avengers will be an Epic Store exclusive?
The Reddit user Mackertosh17 wrote:
I would think it’s cool if it were an open world in New York, but with character switching like in GTA V. Then you could switch between the Avengers while they handle their own business.
The likelihood of the Avenger’s Project being exclusively available on the Epic Store is quite low, as Square Enix usually releases all its games on its own SE Store as well.
No official release date for Marvel’s Avengers has been announced yet, but an Amazon leak mentioned May 15, 2020, as the launch date. Amazon quickly changed the date afterward.
When will we learn more? Concrete information about Marvel’s Avengers will be available during the E3 conference of Square Enix. It will take place at 3:00 AM in the night from June 10th to 11th.
You can follow the conference with us on the streaming channel MAX. On Tuesday, June 11th, there will be an analysis stream at 3:00 PM with Natascha from Gamestar, Irie, and YouTuber Ninotaku.

Fortnite Solo World Championship without the biggest star – Isn’t Ninja good enough anymore?
The World Championship in Fortnite is approaching. But the game’s biggest star, Twitch streamer Ninja, fails to qualify. The solo ticket is definitely gone. Is Ninja just not good enough anymore?
That’s why the solo World Championship takes place without Ninja: According to Ninja, he has missed his last chance to qualify for the solo World Championship.
Yesterday, on Saturday, he needed to reach at least 3000th place in his region during the Fortnite World Cup qualifier to be allowed on Sunday. He did not succeed, as he announced on Twitter.
He only says that he hates solos so much.
5 Reasons Why Ninja Isn’t Making It
Why isn’t Ninja making it? Although Ninja is certainly an excellent gamer and an exceptional Fortnite player, he apparently does not belong to the world’s elite under eSports conditions. There are several reasons for this:
- More Competition: Although Ninja was considered an incredibly good player in the early days of Fortnite and won his first tournaments, the competition has become much tougher now. The high prize money in Fortnite has attracted some of the biggest talents, who fully dedicate themselves to eSports and even postpone their education for it.
- Many Distractions: Ninja, on the other hand, now has many other commitments and is advancing the expansion of his “brand.” He cannot concentrate on eSports but engages in deals, has PR appointments, such as a trip through Europe, and streams a lot, of course. He is working on his “own” brand.
- Age: Ninja is significantly older at 28 than most of his competitors, who are between 15 and 21 years old. Currently, only the age limit of 13 is preventing some of them from becoming stars in Fortnite. In League of Legends, Ninja would already be considered elderly at 28 – in eSports, very few players are older than 25.
- Ninja’s Playstyle: Moreover, Ninja’s playstyle is actually designed for “random matches,” where he quickly overpowers and kills many normal players. That is well received by viewers on Twitch. However, in Fortnite eSports, cautious and tactical play counts more, building and editing is crucial.
- Just Bad Luck? Surely luck also plays a role. Ninja himself sees it that way, stating that he often just had bad luck. However, the best players in the world consistently land in the top placements of the World Cup qualifiers in Europe – and Ninja’s rival Tfue has already managed to qualify for the solo World Cup twice.
Did Ninja really want to go to the World Championship? Ninja is known to be incredibly ambitious. He had actually retired from eSports in 2018 to focus on streaming.
However, the Fortnite World Championship awakened his ambition, and he was desperate to qualify.
For the qualifying rounds, he even turned off his stream. But in the end, it was not enough.
Does Ninja still have a chance? Ninja will definitely not be participating in the solo World Championship. There is still a small chance that he can qualify with his partner Reverse2k for the duo World Championship in Fortnite in two weeks.
Bitter: Ninja and Reverse2k were very close to qualifying in week 6, mid-May. But in the end, they missed out by 2 points.
Next weekend, Ninja will have his last chance.
What is currently being played? Now, on the weekend, week 9 of the qualification for the Fortnite World Championship is taking place. Week 9 is the last chance for solo players to qualify.
The qualification weekend takes place in two phases:
- On Saturday, the semifinals take place. This is about reaching a place in the top 3000 of the region.
- On Sunday, the finals take place. This is about reaching one of the spots that qualify for the World Championship. Every player who qualifies for the World Championship receives at least $50,000 in prize money.
This week, 19 players will qualify:
- 8 in Europe – competing for $800,000
- 6 in Eastern North America – $600,000 in prize money
- 2 in Western North America – $200,000 in prize money
- 1 in Asia – $150,000 in prize money
- 1 in Brazil – $150,000 in prize money
- 1 in Oceania – $100,000 in prize money
The prize amounts have been doubled beforehand.

One thing really annoys players in WoW Classic: Streamers
Conflicts between streamers and the community of WoW Classic are becoming more frequent and intense. However, some fans see potential in collaboration.
What’s the problem? Many fans of the currently beta WoW Classic see the participating streamers as an increasingly large problem. It started with people complaining that Blizzard only invites streamers and ignores the “regular players”.
The situation escalated over time. Players demand the banishment of certain streamers from WoW Classic and hold them responsible for everything they believe is currently wrong with Classic.
By now, there are many voices calling for servers specifically for streamers so that “the others can play in peace”.
Community vs. Streamer – What’s the truth?
What the streamers are doing: Streamers often do nothing more than play WoW Classic – and do so as humanly as possible:
- The inexperienced in WoW streamer Pokimane is getting trolled by the community
- Summit1g is struggling with an ancient mechanic
- The WoW great Asmongold is repeating old Classic jokes from 2004
With these actions, streamers achieve considerable success. They are also helping WoW regain its former glory. Through WoW Classic, World of Warcraft even briefly reached number one on Twitch ahead of the evergreens League of Legends and Fortnite.
What bothers people about streamers? However, there are also situations that really annoy Classic fans. Recently, the streamer sodapoppin has attracted attention.
Sodapoppin demanded a kind of social rating from players based on the favor of streamers. This did not sit well with large parts of the community. They saw this as an abuse of his “streamer privileges” and immediately fired back.
A group of people wants to take it upon themselves to include those who are ostracized by streamers like sodapoppin. Together they want to systematically go against streamers.
Is it really that bad? What sounds like a petty war is hardly understandable for part of the community. In several posts on the official forum, some of which have since been deleted, players also talk about the advantages that streamers bring along. They are happy about the popularity because:
- more people are playing Classic because of streamers
- a larger community promises more PvP and more “drama”
- streamers create “extra events” in the game
- there have always been conflicts in Vanilla as well. So it’s just like back then
However, on reddit, the fear that streamers bring a toxic community already prevails in smaller posts. But was it really that much different back then?

Halo Infinite is supposed to help parents convert their Fortnite kids
The developers of Halo Infinite have commented on their new game just before Microsoft’s E3 conference this evening. It is meant to deliver a new Halo experience for both fans and newcomers.
What have the developers said? Halo Infinite from developer 343 Industries is currently generating a lot of excitement among fans. Although it was announced a year ago, there is still little concrete information about the title.
Executive Producer of 343 Industries, Kiki Wolfkill, explained to Gamesindustry that their goal was to create a Halo game “of the next generation”.
Primarily, Wolfkill wants to engage the younger generation of gamers:
We think a lot about how we can expand our audience to younger people whose parents have already played Halo, love it, and want to share it with their children.
[…] We want parents to feel like they can let their kids get lost in Halo.
With Halo Infinite, the developers also want to take the franchise in a new direction. It should appeal to both fans of the series and people who have never played Halo but enjoy the sci-fi genre, Wolfkill stated.
One of the team’s goals was to create a game for a very broad audience. Halo Infinite is a kind of spiritual reboot of the Halo series, which is why the game isn’t simply called “Halo 6”.
What’s behind this: The statement indicates that Halo has a good image among an “older” generation of gamers but struggles with the “younger” generation, who are currently more into shooters like Fortnite.
By engaging parents, the intention is apparently to reach the kids and convert them to the “right shooter”.
When will we learn more? The E3 press conference from Microsoft starts today at 10:00 PM our time. It has already been confirmed that Halo Infinite will also be featured there.
However, what information we will receive is still unclear. You can follow the conference live with us on our streaming channel MAX – Monsters and Explosions:

Microsoft says: Today we’re showing the new Xbox at E3
In the lead-up to E3 2019, Microsoft released some tweets. Sharp-eyed observers have spotted a hidden clue about “Scarlet,” a codename believed to represent a new Xbox expected to be released in 2020. The next-gen Xbox is likely to be unveiled later today at the Microsoft press conference.
How was “Scarlet” hidden? Microsoft’s Xbox channel sent a series of seemingly innocent tweets. It was a sort of countdown, counting down to “0 days.”
The tweets all had the same structure: In the center, images were shown, with palm trees and a city lit up at night in the background.
There was actually nothing to see.
But one particularly attentive user examined the last 3 tweets and discovered that there was always a combination of letters and numbers visible on the left side of the screen.
Im on to you Phil. pic.twitter.com/6MbWAftIDM

First “R 255,” then “G 36,” and on the last day “B 0.”
The joke is, when you search for “255, 36, 0,” that is the hex code for “Scarlet,” the color “Crimson.” And that is one of the code names under which one of the new consoles is known, which we will see soon: a next-gen Xbox that will compete with the PlayStation 5:
- “Scarlett” represents the general codename for the next console generation
- Anaconda is said to be a “high-end” console
- Lockhart is a slightly toned-down version, similar to the current Xbox One S
Next-gen Xbox expected this evening
What does this mean? Microsoft is known for playing such games.
It was already anticipated before E3 2019 that Microsoft would show its next console generation. It is now even more certain that we will witness the unveiling.
When will we really see this? The Microsoft press conference is today, Sunday, June 9, at 10:00 PM our time. We will cover the Microsoft press conference 2019 just like the entire E3 here on MeinMMO and on MAX, the joint channel of MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro.
Update June 10, 0:04 AM: Microsoft has indeed presented the new Xbox One, Scarlett.

WoW: Because they said “Naga”, several Twitch streamers were banned
Actually, the word “Naga” is a common term in World of Warcraft. However, on Twitch, one can get banned for using the word.
Yesterday, on Twitch, some smaller and medium-sized streamers were banned related to WoW Classic. The reason is that they used the word “Naga,” which actually refers to a race in World of Warcraft, excessively and in other contexts.
Twitch’s justification for the ban: “Involvement in hateful behavior and threats of violence against a person or group of people.”
What happened? The streamer Saviz was playing WoW Classic casually. During the stream, he killed a rare Rare-Naga and was pleased about it.
Some viewers and streamers took it as an opportunity to spam comments about Naga in the chat for hours afterward. They were permanently banned from Twitch for “hateful behavior” and felt unfairly treated.
The affected streamers express bewilderment and claim they do not understand the justification for their ban. After all, they were only referring to something that exists in World of Warcraft: Naga.
Why were they banned? Other streamers, such as the well-known Hearthstone expert Disguised Toast, saw the situation quite differently.
For him, it was extremely childish behavior that can easily be interpreted as racism. He points out that the accused did not quote the streamer Savix, as he had said “Shot that Naga” when he had taken down a Rare-Naga, clearly referring to an incident in the game.
However, the other streamers and viewers took it as an opportunity to rephrase the sentence and spam “Shoot some nagas” repeatedly.
According to Disguised Toast (and apparently the perception of the responsible people at Twitch), it is obvious that “Nagas” alludes to “Niggers” – a racist insult for Black people that is usually abbreviated as the “N-word.” So, they were essentially saying “Shoot some Niggers” disguised as something else.
Has this happened before? The fact is, however, that “Naga” has previously been used in World of Warcraft as a substitute for the insult.
Whether this is actually a “disguise” of racist statements or just a tasteless joke is a matter of debate. Guild names like <Naga stole my bike> and similar have not been uncommon in the past.
This is how the banned defend themselves: The affected individuals now argue that they never meant anything racist with it. It was a joke. Some also suggest that Twitch is inconsistent. If they are banned for “Shoot some nagas,” then Saviz should also be banned for “Shot that naga.”
What do you think about the banning of these individuals on Twitch? Is it justified because the intent was clear? Or was it just a silly joke that hurt no one?
Fortunately, there are also “lovelier” news about Naga:

Destiny 2 is changing: Here are the 7 most important changes with Season 7
In Destiny 2, the new Season of Opulence is ushered in. Season 7 brings an exciting array of changes that you should take a look at. New players and returning players will also benefit in the new season.
New season coming: On June 4, the Season of the Vagabond ends, and Season 7 will be ushered in: The Season of Opulence. The new content comes with an update and maintenance work.
What you need to know about the maintenance and downtime has been summarized for you here.
During the waiting period, Guardians will also be rewarded with some changes and new features. We would like to briefly introduce what you can expect in the Season of Opulence.
These new changes await you in the Season of Opulence
This is a small selection of important changes. All the changes you can expect in Season 7, you can read in our hub for the new season.
Faction Catalysts are returning
After Bungie bid farewell to Faction Rallies to comprehensively revise them along with the Trials of the Nine, there has also been a quiet period around the faction-specific Catalysts. The Catalysts for these popular weapons were tied to the different factions:
- The Catalyst for the Workhorse was available with the New Monarchy
- For the Catalyst of the Sunshot, you had to belong to the Future War Cult
- With Dead Orbit, there was the Catalyst for the Graviton Lance
Whether and when the factions will return is not yet known. However, Guardians can earn their Catalysts in-game with Season 7. New Triumphs for exotic items will be introduced, containing information about where to obtain the associated Catalyst.
Xur is set to become interesting again
With the Season of Opulence, Xur will finally get a feature that was actually promised for Season 6: Random Rolls for exotic armor. This is intended to make the inventory of the mysterious vendor attractive again for veterans who already own all exotic items.
The annoying grind for the new Power level is eliminated
The Season of Opulence once again brings an increase in Power levels. Guardians can fight their way up to Power level 750. While there were special bounties in Season 6 that increased this level, a quest will be introduced with the new season that rewards all your characters with high-level gear.
The quest is called “An Imperial Summons” and you must complete it, if you want to tackle the new raid “Crown of Sorrow”. However, only once per account: After you have completed the quest with one character, all other characters on your account will receive gear at Power level 690.
This should allow you to participate in the new activities right away with your favorite character, without being held back by a low Power level.
There are buffs for fusion rifles and swords
With the Season of Opulence, some weapons are getting tweaks – numerous exotic weapons and armor will be nerfed. However, there are also some buffs for your gear. Fans of fusion rifles, swords, and the weapon duo Sturm und Drang can be pleased.
For various archetypes of fusion rifles, PvE damage is significantly increased. Exotic fusion rifles like Telesto, Jötunn, or Merciless have also been buffed, though slightly less than their legendary counterparts.
For swords, the ammunition capacity as well as the starting ammunition amount are adjusted. There are also tweaks to various attacks.
Sturm und Drang will also be improved and are set to become attractive for Guardians again. For instance, the maximum capacity for bonus damage rounds created by the “Sturm und Stress” perk of Sturm will be increased to 99. The bonus damage of these rounds will also be increased by 100% in PvE.
You can read all about the buffs in this article.
The hunt for the top PvP weapons will be easier
Of course, the new season will also bring new top weapons. For PvP players, the hunt for the top weapon from the Crucible in Season 7 will even be easier.
Instead of having to reach a certain rank and glory points, you will only need to achieve a total of 3,500 points in the Season of Opulence. How often you rank up or down during that time does not matter. You only need to reach 3,500 glory points during the entire season, and the top weapon Revoke is yours. Losses will not deduct points from you.
New group activity: The Menagerie
In the Menagerie, all owners of the Annual Pass will be able to let loose. The new 6-Guardian activity comes with matchmaking and takes you back to the Leviathan, where you are to entertain Emperor Calus.
What awaits you in this activity is still unclear. However, it should feature different bosses and also a heroic mode for the Menagerie starting June 25.
Furthermore, you will unlock the Chalice of Opulence through the Menagerie.
Chalice of Opulence – Decide for yourself which loot you earn
The new Chalice of Opulence will be received by Guardians in the Menagerie from Calus. Players will be able to earn runes that can further upgrade and expand the Chalice. This way, players can specifically work towards certain gear and decide which items they want to obtain.
With this, Bungie wants to give Guardians a choice about which loot they receive. The luck factor, which is despised by many players as RNG, is to be reduced.
The Chalice is also supposed to spit out some of the best gear for you.
In addition, there are also the following changes to the Eververse in Season 7:

Pokemon GO: Weather ruined players’ Community Day – Here’s how Niantic reacted
The Community Day with Bummelz is over and was a complete disaster. Pokémon GO responds to the criticism and now announces a return of Bummelz.
What happened on Community Day? The event in Germany lasted only an hour before the weather feature broke down. As a result, hardly any Bummelz appeared. A disaster for a Community Day.
A shitstorm erupted on social media, and many players demanded a repeat of the Community Day.
This is how the Community Day with Bummelz went
These were the problems: Those who played in the first hour of the event likely had no issues at all. The spawns of Bummelz were normal, and there were shinies to catch everywhere.
However, starting at 4 PM, the weather disappeared. No weather was displayed in the top right corner. When this feature is off, spawns always change. Many different Pokémon appear that do not belong to the event.
It was the same with Bummelz. In the last 2 hours, there were hardly any Bummelz to catch. Entire cluster spawns produced no Bummelz, and the chance of a shiny decreased for many players.
How does Niantic respond? Initially, Niantic support confirmed that there were problems with the weather and that they wanted to work on solutions.
A few hours later, in the middle of the night, Niantic announced that Bummelz will return. Most players suspect that the Community Day for Europe and Africa will be repeated. However, there could also be another event centered around Bummelz. Niantic does not express this clearly.
When will Bummelz return? That is still unclear. Niantic states that they will bring Bummelz back during the summer. However, there is no exact date.
Don’t miss any news: To stay up to date, follow our Pokémon page on Facebook and join our related group!
What do you think of Niantic’s response? Is it fair that Bummelz will return?
