League of Legends: Qiyana is the next new LoL champ – trailer

In a teaser video, Riot Games showcases first impressions of the new champion Qiyana. Looking at the roadmap for League of Legends, it seems likely to be a new solo AD assassin.

What does the teaser show? Surprisingly, Riot Games uploaded a teaser video on June 6 that features Qiyana. She is the “Empress of the Elements.”

In the video, we see Qiyana’s weapon, which has a round shape. Presumably, it is a type of round blade or chakram. Different elements can also be found on it.

In the dialogue, it says: “I have made jungles thrive, shaped lands, and directed rivers.” As she speaks these lines, each of the three elements is focused on her weapon. Apparently, she has control over these elements and may be able to use them to her advantage in combat.

What is known about Qiyana? The developers have not yet given players a deeper insight into the champion kit. However, a few months ago, in April, Riot Games released a roadmap discussing future champions for League of Legends. It states:

Let’s talk now about the next new champion we want to unleash. This one will join the assassins for the solo lane. It has been a while, I know. There are only a few champions of this kind in the game, and we know that many of you love playing them. The arrival of this champion will take you deep into the jungles of Runeterra, where a new faction that has been hidden from the world will emerge. The character possesses powers that allow him to cleverly and innovatively leverage his surroundings.
Intruders should be wary and stay away from the walls, as deep in these jungles, danger is ever-present.

It stands to reason that Qiyana is an AD assassin who plays in the solo lane. In the English version of the roadmap, it refers to a “Solo Lane AD Assassin.” The splash art of the champion shows more about who you can expect:

What do players say about it? Many are amazed that Riot is releasing a new champion so quickly. Yuumi recently appeared in patch 9.10, the rework of Mordekaiser has already been announced but is not yet in the game. And now the next champion is already in the queue.

Update 7.6. 7:20 PM: Meanwhile, the full trailer is also out, lasting over 1:25 minutes.

Those who can only play at night will soon experience the sun in WoW

A new item in World of Warcraft will help those who have only experienced the night in WoW so far. Soon you will be able to determine the time of day!

World of Warcraft has had a day/night cycle for ages. This is identical to server time, which in most cases corresponds to local time. So when it’s 10 PM at our place, it’s also 10 PM in WoW and the sun has set. This creates darkness, moon and stars in the sky, and a rather gloomy atmosphere in most areas. However, not all players enjoy this.

What is the problem? Those who can only play in the evening, perhaps because they have to work during the day, experience all areas of World of Warcraft in darkness. While this might be atmospheric for some, players have been complaining for years that they would also like to experience the daytime version of Azeroth, even if they can only play in the evening or at night.

Only being able to play at night is not to everyone’s liking.

A new item provides permanent midday: With Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, there are two new items that allow you to manipulate the time of day. In the Caverns of Time, there is a new vendor (Otela) who sells two items for Time-Warped Badges:

  • Sun-warmed Sand (10 badges)
  • Jug of Sun-warmed Sand (1,000 badges)

What do the items do? Both items grant the character a buff that allows them to experience the game world as if it were midday for 2 hours. The Sun-warmed Sand is single-use (but you can buy multiple units), while the jug is a toy and can be used infinitely, though it has a cooldown of 24 hours.

Darkest night already available: In response to player criticism that the nights are not dark enough, Blizzard had already introduced another effect into the game. Characters can purchase the item “Inky Black Potion” at the Darkmoon Faire to experience a dark night for 2 hours.

WoW Night Suramar
Suramar in eternal night – a whole new gaming experience.

Players thus gain more freedom in how they want to experience World of Warcraft – completely independent of when they actually have time to play. And role players will definitely appreciate it.

What do you think about these new items? Exactly what’s needed for everyone who can only play at night? Or should the representation of the game world not be able to be influenced like this?

For those who can only play at night, maybe interested in Germany’s best night raid.

What other information is in the trailer? According to the teaser, FIFA 20 will once again run on the Frostbite Engine and will not receive a new engine, as previously speculated.

Many also see the teaser trailer in the tweet as a hint that FIFA 20 could feature a FIFA Street mode. The short football scenes around the world and the motto of the teaser (The Stadium is anywhere) suggest this.

On which consoles will FIFA 20 be released? The teaser currently only mentions that the Frostbite versions of the game will be released on the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Nothing is known yet about a version for the Nintendo Switch.

Streamer has sadistic idea on how Fortnite should punish the WM cheater

In Fortnite: Battle Royale has recently qualified a caught cheater. Many professionals are not pleased with this. One has, therefore, an unconventional and quite brutal idea of how to punish him again.

Who is it about? The professional gamer NICKMERCS from the notorious clan FaZe still has beef with player XXiF. He was banned in week 3 of the Fortnite World Cup qualification for cheating.

But after the ban ended, he was allowed to compete again and qualified for the final round of the World Championship apparently legally against all odds, where he can theoretically rake in millions in prizes.

That a former cheater participates in the World Cup does not sit well with many professionals, including NICKMERCS. Therefore, they demand further penalties for the scoundrel. NICKMERCS has a particularly curious idea here.

fortnite-woche-3-s9-titel-01

This is how the cheater should receive his just punishment

This is NICKMERCS’ suggestion: In a stream, NICKMERCS elaborated on what he considers an appropriate additional punishment for the former cheater XXiF.

He should be eaten by a giant monster in the final round of the World Cup in July. Currently, there is a huge creature roaming free that was recently trapped in ice at Polar Peak. It has now been released, and it is expected to make its full appearance in an upcoming event.

According to NICKMERCS, it would be just really cool if the creature, which he considers a dragon, just appears and eats ONLY XXiF among all players. Just like that!

They should let the dragon out in the final round and it should only eat XXiF. Epic should be made to program “Dragon Attack” and write XXiF’s name in there. No matter where he goes or what he builds, just let the dragon eat XXiF. I think that’s only fair. This is my opinion and I stand by it. I personally think the dragon should appear when XXiF lands and tear him apart. And I want him to panic like that little kid at PAX who was like, “Oh shit, oh shit!”

Will Epic implement this? That the developers specifically kill a player with a giant monster is rather unlikely. But perhaps the “dragon” really will be released at the World Cup and coincidentally also eats XXiF.

On the other hand, there is currently a lot of evidence suggesting that the monster will be released during E3.

Release date of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is close to Borderlands 3 – Does this affect you?

It looks like after The Division 2 vs. Anthem, the next shooter duel of 2019 is just around the corner. The release date of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is only 4 days after the launch date of Borderlands 3. Both games aim to reach the same target audience on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia, and both are targeting almost the same launch date.

When do Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 Shadowkeep release? The dates could hardly be closer:

Update: On August 1, Bungie announced that Shadowkeep would be delayed by two weeks to October 1.

Borderlands-3-Psycho

For which platforms are the games coming? Both titles will be available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and the new platform Stadia.

Stadia will launch in November 2019. Then Destiny 2 will be available in the Collector’s Edition to anyone who subscribes for €10 . Borderlands will likely be a standard purchase title for Stadia.

On PC, both games will go their separate ways:

What do the games cost?

Borderlands 3 vs. Destiny 2 Shadowkeep

What is the situation for both games?

Destiny 2 comes from a rather quiet year 2018/2019. Although Forsaken was well-received by fans in September 2018, it couldn’t fully compensate for the damage done during the release year of Destiny 2. The subsequent DLCs in 2019 were rather mixed, although the mood has improved recently.

Borderlands 3, on the other hand, is a new entry in a beloved franchise, and so far there are only a few negative signs against the game. The anticipation is high.

Borderlands MrTorgue in format that even a Schoomi can understand

Do the games compete for the same players? The target audiences will be relatively similar.

While both shooters are quite different and each game has dedicated fans – many players would likely buy both titles if they were spaced further apart, and are now facing the decision on how to react.

We can probably brace ourselves for Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 vying for our attention in the weeks and days leading up to the September date.

For the moment, it seems that the date could become a problem for Bungie when it comes to attracting and exciting “new players.” However, it certainly plays into Bungie’s favor that the base game of Destiny 2 will become free-to-play on September 17.

Does this affect the purchasing decision?

Share your opinion with us: In our survey, we ask you two questions about your stance. You can only give one answer each.

In the MMORPG ESO, players buy a cat pet recklessly for 30€ – But Why?

The Elder Scrolls Online presents you cute subspecies of Khajiit in Elsweyr. They are now also available as pets for a lot of real money. Yet, the players love them!

Which cats are involved? Occasionally, you will encounter the Khajiit subspecies of Alfiq in the new ESO expansion Elsweyr. These are house cat-sized Khajiit that are just as intelligent as their bipedal, humanoid cousins. Moreover, they can speak and even wear clothes.

For many players – and our author Jürgen – the Alfiq are definitely the highlight of Elsweyr and sometimes rank even higher than dragons and necromancers. Therefore, many players wish for Alfiq as companion pets. After all, there are already many cats in this form, so why not Alfiq?

eso-elsweyr-screenshots-63
These cute little fellows are the highlight of Elsweyr for many!

Speaking house cats as bankers and traders for a lot of money

This is what the Alfiq pets look like: However, it seems that the developer ZeniMax did not want to simply offer another standard cat pet. Therefore, the two Alfiq companions that are now available in the shop are not simple pets that just follow you around and occasionally do cute things.

Rather, the two new Alfiq companions Ezabi and Fezez are NPC assistants, serving either as access to the bank vault (Ezabi) or as a trader (Fezez).

They not only follow you around, but also allow you to sell and store items without having to cumbersome return to the next city.

How much do the Khajiit pets cost? Since the two Alfiq are so useful, they unfortunately cost significantly more than a normal pet.

You need a proud 5,000 crowns for that. This is over 31 Euros in conversion. In the game, you cannot earn the cats.

Players love the pets

How do you get the Alfiq companions? Despite the high price, players on Reddit are enthusiastic about Ezabi and Fezez. A player named Siluen has already created a Photoshop image in which his Dark Elf carries Ezabi in his arms and says, “I have only had Ezabi for half an hour, but if anything should happen to her, I will slaughter this entire island and then kill myself!”

vj19m5qn3s231
This player immediately created a montage showing him with his new companion.

Now some players wish there was such a lift animation in reality. One user says, “I didn’t plan on buying them, but if you can really lift them, then ZeniMax can have all my money!”

But other players also express their joy and eagerly throw money at the new cat pets:

  • “I have saved a ton of crowns from ESO Plus and was actually always skeptical about assistant pets. But these little stinkers have convinced me!”
  • “So cute and fluffy!”
  • “I will pet them and feed them, and woe to anyone who does them harm, they will die a thousand deaths!”
  • “ARE THERE CAT BANKERS???? How much do they cost, I need them immediately!”
  • “Luckily, I didn’t buy the previous assistants, cat assistants, here I come!”
  • “I think this will be the first time I spend real money in an online game…”
eso-katzen-screenshots-02
The new companions can even talk and offer useful services.

Does everyone love the cats? Rarely do you hear from players shaking their heads at the steep prices and completely rejecting spending so much money on a virtual cat:

  • “Is there a cat assistant? I need him! How much does he cost? Oh, okay, no thanks!”
  • “Everything in the shop is so overpriced, the prices are just absurd!”
eso-katzen-screenshots-03

What if you already have assistants? Unfortunately, there have already been such assistant companions in the game, including a Khajiit smuggler and a boring, stiff Dark Elf banker. If you already have these NPCs, you will unfortunately not receive a discount if you buy an Alfiq, who does exactly the same thing.

What do you think? Are cute, talking cat pets that sell you stuff and expand your inventory worth 31 euros?

This annoys some players who already bought the old NPC assistants and would much rather have had the cats, but did not know that the cats would soon be available:

“Damn, I just bought the old Dark Elf banker assistant. Did not know that the Alfiq exist. But whatever…”

Even I, Jürgen, regret having bought the stupid Dark Elf for a bunch of coins back then. But well, at least I have two bankers now.

FIFA 19 TOTS: The Serie A Team of the Season – featuring Ronaldo

The TOTS event in FIFA 19 is progressing and next brings the Serie A Team of the Season. You’ll find out which players are included here.

The Serie A TOTS: As with the TOTS for La Liga and the Premier League, EA has also determined which players will receive a TOTS card for the Serie A Team of the Season.

There were 20 spots to fill and this is the result:

The Serie A Team of the Season

The strongest cards in the Serie A TOTS: Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest overall rating of 99 in the Serie A TOTS. However, Koulibaly (96), Quagliarella (96), Chiellini (95), Gomez (95), and Donnaruma (95) also received extremely strong TOTS cards.

Starting eleven:

  • GK: Sirigu (93)
  • CB: Koulibaly (96)
  • CB: Chiellini (95)
  • RB: Joao Cancelo (94)
  • CB: Izzo (93)
  • CAM: Gomez (95)
  • CAM: Nainggolan (93)
  • CM: De Paul (92)
  • ST: Cristiano Ronaldo (99)
  • ST: Quagliarella (96)
  • ST: Ilicic (94)

Substitutes:

  • GK: Donnaruma (95)
  • CB: Mancini (87)
  • CM: Fabian (92)
  • LM: El Shaarawy (92)
  • RM: Lazzari (87)
  • ST: Zapata (94)
  • ST: Piatek (91)
  • RF: Chiesa (91)
  • SS: Correa (91)

This is Ronaldo’s TOTS card: Cristiano Ronaldo receives his second 99-rated card in FIFA 19 as part of the TOTS event. His first card with a 99 overall rating comes from the TOTY event (Team of the Year).

Ronaldo-TOTS (99)
Ronaldo-TOTS (99)

Overall, Ronaldo’s TOTS card is already the seventh special card for Ronaldo in FUT 19. It is likely to become his most expensive one.

Ronaldo-TOTY VS Ronaldo-TOTS

When comparing the two cards, it quickly becomes clear that they are both absolute endgame cards, with only minimal differences. The TOTS Ronaldo is a bit faster and has better dribbling. Physically, he is slightly weaker than the TOTY version.

Eredivisie

Another league: As in previous weeks, EA is also releasing another league this time. This week it is the 1st Dutch league. This includes real stars like: Ziyech (96), De Ligt (95), De Jong (95), and Tadic (95)

How to get new TOTS cards

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

However, you need a lot of luck to actually pull a TOTS card. Therefore, we recommend using the transfer market to acquire TOTS players.

What you need to consider in the transfer market: While you can search specifically for TOTS players, you should always keep an eye on the prices. These are particularly high in the first few days of a new TOTS.

Therefore, it might be worth waiting a bit before buying TOTS players. Prices tend to drop fairly quickly.

What is the Team of the Season exactly?

This is how the event works: With the Team of the Season (TOTS), EA usually ends the FUT season and releases numerous extremely strong endgame cards. Each week, at least one new Team of the Season with new blue TOTS cards appears.

fifa-19-mbappe-jubel-schmollen

The TOTS cards are that strong: The TOTS cards are particularly strong and can only be compared to the cards of the Team of the Year. These are true endgame cards, with values that can exceed 90.

Among the top stars of the big leagues, upgrades of 6 to 10 points in total rating are not uncommon.

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

Astellia Adapts to Our Western Wishes

Astellia is approaching its first closed beta in the West and is releasing more and more information about it. This time the focus is on the differences between the Asian and our game version.

What adjustments does Astellia have for the West? In recent weeks, we have already reported that Astellia will forgo Pay2Win in the West. The gender lock, which is very strong in Asia, is expected to be lifted for us.

In a new article, the developers also address what changes in gameplay and the combat system. The Asia MMORPG also wants to adapt to the West in this regard.

More dynamic combat system, fairer quests

What changes in the combat system? According to the developers, the combat system is to become more dynamic. Some rigid animations have been revised and classes adjusted.

Furthermore, the dodging maneuvers have been improved, which we compared with Guild Wars 2. You can now interrupt any actions of the character to dodge.

There will also be adjustments regarding the recovery of health and mana points. Here, however, the developers want to wait for player feedback.

The dungeons in the western version of the MMORPG Astellia will be so different
von Alexander Leitsch

What changes in the quests? In the current version of Astellia, monsters killed together are not counted for each member of a group. This is expected to change in the western version.

Also, the distribution of rewards will be adjusted for special enemies with their own names. Even if many players brought down such an enemy together, only one received the loot. A system that would meet with rejection in the West.

Localization in writing and sound

In which languages will Astellia be released? Astellia will be available in English, German, and French at launch. This is not only to apply to the written part.

The voice-over that accompanies the development and story of the characters should also be localized.

Information about Astellia: In Asia, there is a large in-game database with information that answers the most important questions about Astellia.

This database could not be transferred to the West. Instead, wikis are planned here, which players can also participate in.

astellia screenshot 2

Astellia will not have it easy in the West

How do Asia MMORPGs fare in the West? Asia MMORPGs usually generate a lot of anticipation among players. Some games can meet expectations, like Black Desert, while others quickly disappear.

How good are the chances for Astellia? The developers of Astellia are planning many adjustments for us, forgoing strong interventions from the shop, and even adapting individual mechanics.

The hope for success for Astellia is there. What is impressive is how already the feedback from the western community is being addressed. A point where Bless Online particularly struggled.

Do you have any further questions about the adjustments in the West? We are happy to ask them to the developers!

Pokémon GO: This change to GO Plus makes shiny hunters suffer now

In Pokémon GO there is a new feature for GO Plus. This small change is not bad, but some players are likely to be more upset now.

What is the change? With GO Plus, you can now see when a Shiny has fled. This was not possible before. This change is quite interesting, but it is likely to annoy many players when they see that a rare Shiny has escaped.

This change is now likely to apply to all other gadgets of this kind. So far, there is only confirmation from the GO Plus.

Change to GO Plus – How is it received?

How was it before the change? Previously, you could see in the journal which Pokémon fled and how much CP it had, but you could not see if it was Shiny.

Now you can also recognize whether it is the Shiny form, as the player “DaRk_ViVi” from Italy proves on Reddit. He lost a Shiny Anorith.

Shiny fled

What do the players say about it? The trainers under this proof photo are divided about the change. Some players say they will put their GO Plus away forever. They can’t handle seeing that a Shiny has fled.

Other players say that one should simply follow an iron rule: Never look in the journal. It could also be that Pokémon like Cocnodon or Snorlax have fled due to the GO Plus. This would be similarly frustrating.

How can one work around the problem? On Reddit, players give tips on how to solve this problem. Many say that you should continue to use the GO Plus while driving. You can’t catch anything without GO Plus anyway, so it wouldn’t be bad if a Shiny fled there.

Finally, The Division 2 eliminates randomness from special ammunition – New system coming

With Title Update 4, The Division 2 will change a lot about the specializations. This includes how to get ammunition for their individual weapons, which previously depended on luck with ammunition drops; a new system will be implemented.

What was the problem with ammunition before? Since release, there has been constant criticism that there simply isn’t enough ammunition for the individual weapons of the specialization. Each specialization had a perk that increased the probability of ammunition drops through certain actions.

However, all factors surrounding the drops of specialized ammunition were previously based on probability. While you could slightly increase this with perks, it is still possible to have incredibly bad luck in The Division 2 and not find ammunition for a long time.

The problem has been a concern for players and developers, Massive, for a long time:

This is what Massive is doing about it: Due to the ongoing criticism, the system will be radically revamped with Title Update 4. Random drops will be removed, and players will now be able to influence when they receive ammunition.

How is this supposed to work? Instead of leaving ammunition drops to chance, agents will need to adjust their playstyle in the future when they need ammunition. The random drops will be completely removed and a new display will be added to the game.

This is what the new display brings: It will be shown as a new HUD element to the left of your ammunition. In the future, you will be able to see a loading bar there, which you can fill up through certain actions in combat. This will then give you specialized ammunition.

What exactly do you need to do to fill the bar? Simply killing enemies is enough. However, the bar fills up even faster when you perform actions mentioned in the specialization perks.

The following actions will fill the bar faster:

  • Sharpshooter: Achieve headshot kills
  • Demolitionist: Achieve kills through explosions.
  • Survivalist: Achieve kills on enemies affected by a status effect.

The bar is filled not only by you but also by the team. Every team member receives ammunition as soon as it fills up. Therefore, it doesn’t matter who achieves the kill, and no one is left behind.

This is how it works, a player recorded in a (very choppy) video on the test server. Despite the stuttering, you can see the new loading bar next to the ammunition filling up with each kill.

Change is well received, but there seem to be problems

What are the fans saying about the change? The feedback for the new system is very positive. Some people initially worried that the system could have a negative impact on playing in a group, as everyone wants to get kills for ammunition.

However, with the new information, it is clear that the team fills the new loading bar together. Thus, concerns have eased in many respects.

Unfortunately, there seem to be some issues on the PTS (Player Test Server).

In the Subreddit of The Division 2 , several players report that they are not receiving ammunition, even though they have filled the bar multiple times. One Reddit user writes: “I have completed several missions, have filled the bar multiple times as a Gunner, and received neither ammunition from enemies nor directly displayed in the UI.”

The bug seems to occur frequently, as multiple players report the same problem. However, it is considered likely that the bug will be fixed in a PTS update.

When is the new update coming? Title Update 4 is scheduled to be released to the live servers at the end of June after the testing phase. There is no exact date yet. You can read the preliminary patch notes in our summary.

The new ammunition system is not the only change being made to the specializations with the next update:

Fallout 76 gets adjustments that players didn’t know they wanted

Bethesda talks in a new preview about the upcoming patch regarding changes to the weapon and combat system of Fallout 76. Fans are very excited about this, even though some of them didn’t even know they were missing these changes.

What will change? In a new “From the Vault” Bethesda discusses improvements in combat and controls. The focus is primarily on changes that aim to provide more quality and a smoother gameplay experience.

The adjustments bring innovations to Fallout 76, as seen in some other shooters and battle royale games, such as Apex Legends.

Fallout 76 Atomrakete Spieler machen Raids

The changes in detail

What changes in the combat system: A lot of changes will be made to all weapons, which will affect the combat system:

  • Players can display the damage caused by weapons. This option can be set separately for adventure and survival mode.
  • The animation for drawing or stowing a weapon can be interrupted by firing the weapon.
  • Aiming with iron sights or scopes will be significantly faster.
  • Reloading will be interrupted by sprinting, and you can sprint immediately after firing, making escaping easier and movement a bit more dynamic.

Additionally, it will be removed that looking around with a controller after firing a weapon is eliminated. This is intended to improve controller handling and is particularly interesting for players on PS4 and Xbox One.

Fallout 76_todeskralleninsel
Aiming and looking around will be easier, especially on consoles.

What changes to the weapons: In addition to the changes to the combat system, many weapons will receive adjustments. They will receive reticles for first-person view.

Among the selected weapons, many of the heavy weapons that have previously received a buff are included:

  • Gatlings (except Gatling Laser)
  • Minigun
  • Broadside
  • .50 Cal MG
  • Automatic Grenade Launcher
  • Fatman
  • Harpoon Gun
  • Paddleball

With the reticles, aiming and hitting should become easier and more dynamic. Players will spend less time aligning their shots on the target.

When do the changes come? No specific date has been mentioned yet. The changes will come with Patch 10 “in June.”

How the changes will come

The upcoming improvements have already been discussed on reddit. All new features have been well received and many players see them as a step in the right direction. Especially the display of damage numbers excites the fans:

I didn’t know until now that I wanted damage numbers. Can’t wait.

The changes have even sparked rumors about new game modes. At least one new mode is expected to arrive with Nuclear Winter, the next big update for Fallout 76, after Wild Appalachia is now complete. A player suspects a deathmatch mode.

More about Fallout 76 will be revealed by Bethesda at E3 2019. The press conference will take place in the night from Sunday, June 9 to Monday, June 10 at 2:30 AM:

Friday Fortnite unites Ninja and PewDiePie today – Here’s how you can watch it

The legendary tournament Friday Fortnite is back for a short guest appearance. Today, on Friday, the 7th of June, a team consisting of Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and YouTuber Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg will participate. The organizer promotes the “biggest gaming stars.” They will hardly have a chance of winning, but will certainly draw massive views. We will show you when and where you need to tune in.

What is Friday Fortnite? This is a community tournament organized by the controversial content creator Keemstar. Due to bizarre circumstances the tournament is back for three Fridays after it was initially displaced by Epic’s official tournaments.

Keemstar is primarily focused on views across all channels on YouTube and Twitch for the tournament. In the last tournament on Friday, the 31st of May, 32 teams of 2 Fortnite players participated, showcasing the tournament on their respective channels.

The tournament was watched by over 10 million viewers worldwide. The current tournament is expected to reach even more viewers.

The 2 Biggest Gaming Stars from YouTube and Twitch in One Team

This is the special gag: Last time, Ninja, the biggest Twitch streamer in the world, participated as a player and secured 3rd place out of 32 participating duos with partner Reverse2k. 1.8 million people watched Ninja’s Twitch stream during the Friday Fortnite tournament.

For the Friday Fortnite of week 2, Keemstar is teaming him up with “PewDiePie”. He is the largest individual YouTuber in the world with nearly 100 million subscribers.

Even the tweet that they would both play in one team has over 1.15 million views.

But it will be a big PR gag and could show even better numbers than the last tournament.

How do the teams play against each other? In Friday Fortnite, one team invites the other to a squad lobby and then starts a match.

The teams compete in these 100-player random lobbies and try to achieve as many kills as possible. Two rounds are played.

The team with the most kills wins. So it’s about playing aggressively.

Theories about the mysterious FIFA 20 teaser: this could be the “game-changing innovation”

EA Sports promises a “game-changing announcement” in FIFA 20. Fans are guessing: What is it about? And what role does a new logo play?

Update – The most important info about FIFA 20 is here:

This is what it’s about: The official announcement of FIFA 20 actually only contains two pieces of information: The start time of EA Play and a “game-changing Announcement”. What it is about, of course, remains open.

What is the announcement about?

In the community, the speculation started immediately. What surprise will EA reveal on Saturday? The only clue one can rely on right now: A six-second teaser on Twitter.

The teaser includes the date of EA Play and a stylized football field that changes color, as well as an unknown logo. This logo can also be seen in the background of the announcement page and is currently the focal point of all possible theories:

What does the new logo stand for?

Update 07.06.19, 5:00 PM: EA has released another teaser for FIFA 20 on Twitter. Here, brief clips of people playing football around the world can be seen. The motto of the teaser: The Stadium is anywhere.

This looks like a new FIFA Street mode, a dream for many FIFA fans. But we will know more tomorrow; EA has confirmed the reveal for 4 PM German time.

When FIFA 20 is released: The new teaser also confirms the release date of FIFA 20. It will be September 27, 2019.

The “game-changing announcement”: A new mode?

This is what players suspect: On reddit, there are several theories about what the announcement could be about. Some make more sense than others – and officially, none of them is correct. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at the theories, also to see what players wish for.

A new five-a-side mode: One theory focuses mainly on the new logo. It could be inspired by the Roman numeral “V”, which means “5”. In the thread about the new teaser, this is one of the theories that seems plausible: FIFA 20 could have a new five-a-side mode. But in what form?

fifa-19-rondo

Most players suspect a variation of the Pro Club mode towards five player teams. Another possibility is that it could be the long-desired street mode, which would also be played in smaller teams.

Some also refer to the color-changing football field from the teaser and see it as a hint towards indoor football. A skill moves-based mode on a small field? Sounds good. But would it really be “game-changing”?

fifa-19-dyballa-jubel

An extremely improved career mode: One point that has been raised often in the past is the career mode. Here, some Reddit users hope for a significant improvement and believe that the announcement refers to it. Especially since “The Journey” seems to have come to an end for now. For many, a new career mode would be a real reason to buy.

A mixture of both modes could bring a new single-player experience while fulfilling the wishes of many players. But at the same time, many fear that this will remain a wishful thinking: They suspect that EA will continue to focus more on the lucrative Ultimate Team rather than building a competitor mode. Also, no conclusions can be drawn about the logo for now.

Players have long hoped for a complete overhaul of the career mode.

Could the change be bigger?

A new engine: Some users like “Stepanovic” and “TheKingcrawler” point out that “game-changing” should refer to the entire game – and not just to a single mode. Such a change could concern the engine.

Notably, the teaser for FIFA 20 lacks the logo of the Frostbite engine, which was used to develop FIFA 19. Is the new “V” logo the emblem of a new engine?

Last year, the Champions League was the big innovation – what can we expect in FIFA 20?

However, the assumption is that EA will likely switch to a new engine only with the new console generation. But this would be a massive change that would likely alter a lot about the gameplay. Many players have been wanting this for a long time.

Does Google Stadia play a role?

This is Google Stadia: Stadia is a new gaming platform from Google, which runs on the company’s data centers. The service will launch with a total of 31 titles, of which 28 are already known. However, three more are still missing: one from Capcom, one from Rockstar, and one from EA.

Google Stadia Logo
Is FIFA an option for the Stadia launch?

As the FIFA series is known to be offered on most platforms, it seems likely that FIFA 20 could also be available via Stadia. Could the “game-changing announcement” refer to the missing EA title for the Stadia launch being FIFA 20? The mystery should be solved on Saturday:

Streamer Summit1g desperately struggles with the ‘stupid’ mechanics in WoW Classic, wants to break through the wall

In one of his streams about WoW: Classic , streamer Summit1g was quite annoyed. He was locked out of a dungeon.

Who is it about? Summit1g is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. On the live streaming platform, he has over 3.8 million followers. He is a variety streamer. He does not focus on just one game, but rather on what is currently popular.

Recently, he was playing roleplay in GTA 5, and now WoW: Classic is on the agenda. Selected players can currently try out the beta of this WoW version.

Why is he frustrated? After several attempts, Summit1g cannot enter a dungeon. He wanted to comfortably collect experience points.

After his death in the dungeon, he respawns as a ghost at a graveyard near the dungeon. As a ghost, he has to run back to the instance, resurrect, and then march through the entrance. But that doesn’t work, and it frustrates him.

“It’s not easier to get experience points, and I’m locked out. Oh my God. Fuck. Maybe because I’m invisible?” he asks during one of his last attempts to enter the dungeon. After that, he gets killed by other players.

“I just want to get into the damn dungeon,” he adds.

This is how his chat trolls him: When his viewers notice how annoyed Summit1g is because he is locked out of the instance, they start to troll. In the chat, you can read

  • Just run in with “sprint”
  • Go into the instance
  • Hey, why not just try to walk into the instance?

Summit1g responds to the chat and says annoyed: “Run in? My God, Chat. The only reason I’m here is that I CANNOT RUN IN. Damn, that’s the dumbest concept that World of Warcraft has ever come up with.”

What mechanic is holding him back? In the first video, you can see the message above his webcam in the WoW chat: “You have entered too many instances recently.”

In World of Warcraft, players can only enter a limited number of dungeons per hour. Once the limit is reached, the character simply runs through the instance portal instead of loading into the dungeon.

It takes an hour after entering the first instance for this timer to reset. As long as that is the case, like Summit1g in the shown videos, you are locked out of instances.

This is how Destiny 2 intends to radically change its armor system with Shadowkeep

Bungie aims to drastically change the way the armor system of Destiny 2 works with the new expansion Shadowkeep, including mods and perks. But how? Here is what we know so far.

This is set to change in the fall: With the announcement of the upcoming Fall expansion Shadowkeep, Bungie revealed that Destiny 2 will receive more RPG elements.

One example of this is the armor system, which they plan to overhaul significantly in the fall. With Armor 2.0, the name of the feature, players will finally be able to customize their gear the way they want.

Armor 2.0 – How the armor system of Destiny 2 changes with Shadowkeep

Here is how the armor system is now: Currently, pieces of armor offer limited room for individual customization—whether visually or in terms of their attributes.

It often happens that you have a set that you either like aesthetically or one that has the right stats for your individual playstyle. Both rarely match.

Therefore, many guardians often choose armor pieces that perform better rather than those that they find more visually appealing. That is set to change soon.

This is Armor 2.0: This new system will come into play with the Shadowkeep expansion. Armor 2.0 allows players to equip any mod they have unlocked into any piece of armor.

The pieces of armor now serve merely as empty shells that can be customized according to personal preferences using various modifications. There seem to no longer be fixed mods or perks—only multiple mod slots for different attribute categories.

Helmet customization options as part of Armor 2.0

When selecting one of these mod slots, all mods available for that specific slot will be displayed to the player and can be activated there.

Thus, it ultimately resembles a type of transmog system where you can apply the appearance of an item with strong attributes to the look of your choice—where the appearance can be derived from any item of the same category that you have already found.

However, the showcased images depicted a legendary item with a total of four mod slots. Whether exotic gear offers more or fewer slots and can thus be individualized to some extent is currently unknown. It is conceivable that Exotics will then have fixed attributes altogether. There is still no definitive answer on that.

Destiny-2-Guardian

By the way: In this context, attributes Strength, Discipline, and Intellect from Destiny 1 are apparently coming back, which could give the entire system additional depth. These can be clearly seen in the images.

This new feature will also be important: As part of the broader customization options and more RPG elements, artifacts are also set to play an important role. However, these have changed significantly compared to Destiny 1.

They now function as an item on which various perks and bonuses can be unlocked, allowing you to further adapt your character to your personal playstyle.

This is what an artifact menu looks like

The perks are divided into several tiers. At each tier, multiple perks can be activated, which presumably need to be found first. With increasing levels, the perks appear to become more powerful.

According to Bungie, perks of the last tier should come quite close to that of an Exotic. Some of the visible icons suggest bonuses for cooldown reduction or shorter reload times for certain weapon types.

Furthermore, artifacts seem to be season-bound or must be leveled up during a season to unlock higher perk tiers. As one of the images states for an attribute: “Will be disabled at the end of Season 8.”.

Destiny 2 Crota

Whether there will be just one artifact with fixed seasonal perk sets or several artifacts with various perk and bonus combinations is currently not definitively known. However, Bungie refers to artifacts in the plural in the video.

Even though only superficial details are known so far, the changes look promising. It will be interesting to see what else Armor 2.0 can do and how exactly this system is structured.

Update: For more information on Armor 2.0, click here.

What do you think of Armor 2.0 so far? Are you looking forward to learning more about it, or are you satisfied with the current system of Destiny 2?

WoW: How expensive will the best equipment be in Patch 8.2

The prices for the best Azerite armor in World of Warcraft have been revealed. They cost multiples of what players can currently earn.

Also in Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, Azerite armor plays a major role again. After all, these items have the powerful Azerite traits that function almost like additional set bonuses or small talents.

With the upcoming update, the maximum item level of items will increase further, making new Azerite armor necessary for the heroes. This armor can be obtained from various sources, but the most reliable is purchasing from a vendor.

What does the new Azerite armor cost? In Season 3 (in Patch 8.2), players can also buy Azerite armor from the Astral beings, namely with Titan Residuum. The price increase is quite steep, as you can compare in these two tables.

Costs for current equipment (Patch 8.1.5 – Season 2)

Item levelCost Titan Residuum
385 (random)165
400 (random) 675
415 (random) 1,725
415 (specific)7,150

Costs for upcoming equipment (Patch 8.2 – Season 3)

Item levelCost Titan Residuum
415 (random) 7,150
430 (random) 9,000
445 (random) 47,500
445 (specific)200,000
Image source: wowhead

Titan Residuum for disassembling: Players receive Titan Residuum when they disassemble unwanted Azerite armor in the Scrapper. Depending on the item level of the item, there is a smaller or larger amount. Also, a substantial amount of residuals is available in the weekly “Mythic+” chest.

By the way, Titan Residuum will remain with the new patch. Those who want can start farming now to have a small stock. However, reaching 200,000 Titan Residuum is currently impossible and will likely only be achievable with Patch 8.2.

von Cortyn

Will the amount of Residuum received increase? It is still unclear whether players will receive more Titan Residuum in Patch 8.2 than before. That would only make sense, as otherwise it would be difficult to acquire the items. Furthermore, Blizzard significantly increased the amount of Titan Residuum received when transitioning from Season 1 to Season 2. Something similar is likely to happen with Patch 8.2.

WoW Jaina Blood Elf Female Heart of Azeroth title 1140x445

Heart of Azeroth requires no upgrades: The positive aspect of the whole situation is that unlocking the new Azerite abilities no longer requires farming for the Heart of Azeroth. The requirements for unlocking remain at the same level as in Patch 8.1.5, so below level 50. The Heart of Azeroth only needs to be leveled for unlocking the new essences.

Do you think it is good that Blizzard sticks to the system? Or is it too much farming effort that needs to be managed?

Fortnite pays out $2 million from its pocket to rectify a stupid mistake

To avoid trouble, the developer behind the online shooter Fortnite, Epic Games, is happy to reach for the wallet. After a planning error, Epic casually postpones the World Cup qualification for Fortnite and adds $2 million in prize money to calm things down preventively.

What was the mistake? Epic has scheduled two tournaments for the same weekend, on June 15 and 16:

  • In the Pro-Am tournament after the E3 2019 , celebrities compete alongside Fortnite players – it’s about $3 million for a good cause: a fun spectacle
  • In the week 10 of the World Cup qualification, the Fortnite pros grit their teeth to secure the last ticket for the Fortnite World Cup in Duo mode. This is no joke, but a tough competition, as only 10 Duos will make it through that weekend

Some of the most famous and popular Fortnite streamers in the world sounded the alarm because Ninja (No. 1 on Twitch) and Tfue (No. 3 on Twitch) were booked for the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament but desperately wanted to play in the Fortnite qualifiers.

Because in their first four chances, the Duos “Ninja/Reverse2” and “Tfue/Cloak” had failed to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup.

This tweet from Cloak sparked action.

Especially Tfue’s partner, Cloak, mobilized complaints on Twitter.

Cloak and Tfue (right) – they still want to make it to the World Cup.

Epic doubles the prize money

This is how Epic solved the problem: After the streamers sounded the alarm for days, Epic resolved the issue by announcement on Reddit:

  • They simply postponed week 10 qualification by a week to Thursday/Friday instead of Saturday/Sunday as usual
  • To preempt any complaints, Epic simply doubled the prize money for weeks 9 and 10 to $2 million each (1.77 million €), to be distributed worldwide

The special thing is that they apparently pay this straight out of their pocket without batting an eye or making a big deal out of it.

It seems to be the norm for Fortnite that Epic adds $2 million.

von Jürgen Horn

Why does Epic have so much money? Fortnite is a hit and reportedly made Epic $3 billion in profit in 2018.

In addition to the Battle Pass, attractive skins, like this one that came out at Christmas and is apparently inspired by Elsa, the Ice Queen from the movie Frozen, are responsible.

Fortnite-Skin-Frozen
During the Christmas season, Fortnite remained calm while prepared events took place.

Epic uses money cleverly to strengthen market position

Does Epic do this often? There is a pattern emerging; Epic has already invested hefty sums from Fortnite in 2019 to gain advantages:

  • they boost their own store with exclusive deals to keep Steam games away
  • Epic finances a “Mega Sale” in this store at their own expense
  • Epic is offering scholarships worth millions of dollars to lure development teams away from the Unity engine to Unreal Engine – the competitor calls it bribery

Some even say: Epic right now doesn’t even know what to do with all that money. For the current Fortnite season, $100 million in prize money is planned, which presumably has not yet been distributed.

On Reddit, someone says: Epic has probably realized that the year doesn’t even have enough weeks to always distribute $1 million per tournament.
