LoL Teamfight Tactics: Cheat Sheet shows items at a glance – What is Spatula?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the new LoL Auto Chess, Teamfight Tactics, combinable items are the key to victory. An item cheat sheet for TFT, a cheat sheet, shows all items at a glance. We also explain what the spatula does.

Update March 17, 2020: Champions have now been changed and Set 3 has been released. We have gathered updated cheat sheets for Season 3 here.

News: Since June 27th, anyone who wants to can start the download for Teamfight Tactics and get started. But some questions are arising at the moment: especially about items.

Cheat Sheet in Teamfight Tactics shows all items

This is what makes Teamfight Tactics special: Compared to the competition from Dota Underlords, Teamfight Tactics has significantly more items that can also be combined.

This works like in LoL: If a champion already has an item, they can combine it with a second item to create a stronger item with bonus effects.

The streamer Scarra has created a “cheat sheet” where you can see exactly which items in TFT fit together and work. We embed it here for you (click to enlarge).

Item-Cheat-SHeet-TFT

Which items you should prefer to collect and build, we explain to you in our Item Tier List in Teamfight Tactics.

The spatula in Teamfight Tactics

This is what spatula does: An item that drives people crazy in Teamfight Tactics is the spatula. Because this item does nothing by itself.

Only in combination with another item do results come out. The spatula transforms a hero in combination into a hero with a different origin – which is important for the bonuses.

The spatula transforms the hero that carries it:

  • with the B.F. Sword into an assassin
  • with the Recurve Bow into a blademaster
  • with the Needlessly Large Rod into a sorcerer
  • with the “Tear of the Goddess” into a demon
  • with Chain Vest into a knight
  • with Giant’s Belt into a glacial
teamfight-tactics-header

There are two special functions:

  • Combined with the Negatron Cloak, the hero attacks two additional enemies with bonus attacks that deal 50% damage
  • If you mix spatula with spatula, the hero is exempt from the unit limit

Cheat sheet shows all champs in Teamfight Tactics

Is there something like this for champs? Yes, there is also a cheat sheet for all champs in Teamfight Tactics. This one also comes from Scarra – we embed it here. Click to enlarge.

What does a best combo look like in practice? In this article, we show how one of the top players of Teamfight Tactics builds his “best combo” by mixing items and champs and constantly adjusting.

We will publish some more guides for the game on MeinMMO. Here is our beginner’s guide to TFT.

Fortnite postpones the World Cup qualifier – probably for the Twitch stars Ninja and Tfue

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite there is a “Pro-Am” tournament coming up. In this showcase battle, the stars of Fortnite play alongside celebrities from music, sports, or TV. But this time, Epic seems to have miscalculated. Twitch stars like Ninja and Tfue want to drop out of the tournament to qualify for the World Cup. Now, Epic has postponed Week 10 of the World Cup qualifiers.

Update 7:47 PM: As Epic announces, they have indeed postponed Week 10 of the qualification matches for the Fortnite World Championship.

The tournament is moving from June 15 and 16 to June 20 and 21.

As a special treat for the streamers, Epic is doubling the prize money for the two weekends to $2,000,000 each.

The change was evidently necessary after conflicting schedules arose with the biggest Twitch stars of Fortnite. Epic had scheduled a Pro-Am tournament for the same time as Week 10, for which some of the leading Twitch streamers of Fortnite were booked.

Epic has now resolved this scheduling conflict and simply tossed another 2 million USD at the problem.

Original Report:

What kind of tournament is this? In the “Pro-Am,” Epic Games creates duos:

  • famous Fortnite players who have built a community on YouTube or Twitch
  • and celebrities, such as NBA star Josh Hart, former football player Marshawn Lynch, or actor Joel McHale

The tournament takes place in Inglewood, California, during the week when everyone should already be in Los Angeles for E3 2019. At the “Fortnite Summer Block Party,” Epic seems to want to wrap up the E3.

Such a tournament occurred a year ago. Ninja and Marshmello won that one, and it seems to have paid off for both.

For weeks now, Epic Games has been hyping its Fortnite tournament on Twitter by showcasing pairs who will participate in the Pro-Am in LA.

Ninja is teaming up with Marshawn Lynch, the former football player known as “Beastmode.”

Scheduling Issues, Because Stars Don’t Have Duo Tickets for the World Cup Yet

Here’s the problem: The “Pro-Am” tournament takes place on June 16.

This weekend also offers the last chance to qualify for the Fortnite World Championship in Duo; this is Week 10 of the qualifiers.

The two biggest stars of Fortnite on Twitch, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Turner “Tfue” Tenney, are both not qualified with their partners yet.

They desperately want to seize their chance and secure the last ticket to the World Cup. Both are incredibly ambitious and want to compete in duos.

Even though one can win 3 million dollars at the Pro-Am tournament for a good cause, the World Cup is about prestige and 30 million dollars for oneself.

So they don’t have time for Pro-Am that weekend, but both are already confirmed. As the two biggest Fortnite streamers in the world, Ninja and Tfue are also significant draws for the event.

Tfue is supposed to team up with basketball star Josh Hart.

Here’s how the pros are reacting: Tfue is still keeping a low profile. But his duo partner Cloak is ramping up. Since he found out on June 2 when the Pro-Am tournament he’s confirmed for is, Cloak has been a bit restless.

He is urging Epic to postpone the qualifiers for Duos by a week, so there’s enough time to play or watch the Pro-Am tournament.

Cloak apparently cannot believe what Epic was thinking with this scheduling.

Then his partner, DJ Dillon Francis, asked him if he wants to leave him hanging. Cloak replied, “No, help me get Epic to care about its community for once.”

To which Dillon wrote: “They won’t listen to me, I’m just a DJ, man!”

Ninja, on the other hand, seems to want to play both sides, but is worried about how he can manage it. He wants to somehow drop out of Pro-Am but also not.

He is considering whether he can fly to the West Coast for the event while still playing with his partner Reverse2k on the East Coast server.

But that would likely cause ping issues … difficult. It will be interesting to see if Epic reacts to this.

The best accessories for Nintendo Switch: Cool gadgets overview

Norman Wittkopf Norman Wittkopf Reading time 2 minutes

For Nintendo’s popular gaming console, there is now a plethora of accessories that make gaming on the go much more comfortable. Here we present a selection of what we believe are the most useful gadgets for the Switch.

[toc]

Battery Attachments

On the go, the Nintendo Switch often reaches its performance limits regarding battery life without an external power source, causing gameplay in demanding titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, to end after about three hours.

To counteract this, power banks are of course the first option, but it can be inconvenient to have an external device dangling from the console during gameplay. A solution comes in the form of attachments with integrated batteries that can be directly mounted to the Switch.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Play longer on the go: The console’s own battery capacity of 4,310 mAh can be significantly expanded depending on the capacity of the battery attachment (usually between 6,500 and 10,000 mAh), effectively doubling or tripling gameplay time.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Carrying Cases and Accessory Sets

Safe Transport: Good carrying cases for transporting the console are undoubtedly among the most useful accessories when it comes to protecting the Switch from potential damage on the go.

There are now numerous customized models designed specifically for the console. Often, these also feature additional pockets for storing games, charging cables, or extra Joy-Cons.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Depending on the package, some sets also include other useful accessories like screen protectors, thumb grips, and more.

Game Transport Cases

If a carrying case for the console itself does not provide enough space for all the required games, purchasing a separate transport case may be worthwhile. After all, game cartridges also need to be protected from damage or dirt while on the go.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

There are also various models of transport cases available in different sizes, often featuring hard-shell designs. Typically, they also offer space for SD cards, and they usually don’t cost a fortune.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
All Game Cases on Amazon

Stick Attachments, Grips, and Stands

If you are dissatisfied with the ergonomics of the Nintendo Switch, there are various options to upgrade the console with accessories. If you want more grip or comfort when using the Joy-Con stick, you can consider various “Thumb Grips,” which are thumb attachments often sold in a variety of sets.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

If the console does not lie optimally in your hand, there are also attachments with grips that can improve its feel. The grips have a plastic holder into which the Switch is simply inserted along with the attached Joy-Cons.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Some models even come with just a stand, allowing the Switch to be placed upright on the table. For those seeking a complete package, there are also combo solutions that include grips, stands, and battery packs.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
All Grips and Stands on Amazon

Bluetooth Adapter for Audio and Controllers

The Nintendo Switch comes without Bluetooth support by default, but wireless headphones are becoming increasingly popular. Here, there is the option to retrofit the console using an adapter via the USB port.

Depending on the model, an additional USB port may also be offered as an expansion. However, prices can be quite high, especially if the dongle is intended to seamlessly attach to the device.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

With the adapter from 8Bitdo, it’s also possible to use third-party controllers, such as from the PlayStation 4, while the console is in docking mode.

A new trailer for Chapter 4 of Tides of War in Battlefield 5 shows 5 new locations where you can fight. Including a remake of a popular map from Battlefield 3.

What maps are shown? 5 new game worlds located all around the globe are presented. These include:

  • Al Sundan set in the vast desert of North Africa
  • The Lofoten, an archipelago in Norway
  • Marita set in Greece
  • The Provence, a region in Southern France
  • Operation Underground set in a subway station

When is Chapter 4 coming? A release date for Chapter 4 is also known. It is set for June 27. However, not all maps will be available at that time.

Watch the trailer for Chapter 4 of Tides of War here

This is the trailer: The trailer is just over 2 minutes long, showing various glimpses of each of the new maps. There is also a small teaser at the end:

What do we know about the maps? Marita has already been announced in advance. However, not much more has been said other than the setting in Greece.

Al Sundan is set in the desert of North Africa. Here, team play with vehicles and overcoming large distances is crucial.

Marita
This is what the map in Greece looks like

The map in the Provence was already found in the game data in March. Now it can be assigned – it belongs to Chapter 4.

Nothing is known about the map on the Lofoten yet. It is expected to be the most surprising.

When will the maps come? The first is Al Sundan at the release of Chapter 4. Marita will follow in July, and later in the summer, the maps from the Lofoten and Provence will arrive.

With Operation Underground, a remake from Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 returns. The map was known as “Operation Metro” and was one of the most popular maps, featuring close combat and numerous hiding spots.

Lofoten
The Lofoten in Norway are also a location

According to the trailer, Operation Underground will not come until October. You will have to be a little more patient here.

This teaser is available: At the very end of the trailer, there is a small teaser showing a war zone on the Pacific coast. Here, it seems the Japanese will meet the Americans.

Teaser
This short teaser will also be shown

When this map will be released is still unknown. More information will be awaited.

This is how the trailer is received: On YouTube, the trailer has been praised by fans. It already has over 140,000 views and more than 14,600 likes.

In the comments, it is said that Dice has made a comeback here. The hype is back.

What do you think of the new trailer? Are you looking forward to Chapter 4?

FIFA 19 TOTW 38: The Team of the Week 38 in Ultimate Team

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, the TOTW 38 is now known. Here you will find out what the Team of the Week looks like and which players will receive Inform cards.

This is the Team of the Week: Every week, EA Sports selects 23 players for the Team of the Week. These players have shown good performances in real football and have thus earned their place in the TOTW.

The strongest cards in the TOTW: The Team of the Week 38 can generally be described as weak. This is because the major leagues have already suspended operations, and therefore there are hardly any top players represented in the TOTWs. Nevertheless, Tsygankov (86), Renato Augusto (84), and Martinez (84) received decent Inform cards.

This is the Team of the Week 38

All cards in TOTW 38

TOTW 38 – Starting XI

TOTW 38 – Starting XI
TOTW 38 – Starting XI

TOTW 38 – Substitutes

TOTW 38 – Substitutes
TOTW 38 – Substitutes

These were the predictions for TOTW 38

What are TOTW predictions? Predictions for the Team of the Week are community forecasts for the upcoming TOTW. This forecasts which players might make it into the Team of the Week.

And indeed, many of the predicted players are often included in the Team of the Week.

The prediction for Team of the Week 38

These predictions come from reddit user lockleym:

Goalkeepers:

  • GK: Stuhr-Ellegaard (IF Elfsborg)

Defenders:

  • LB: Hong-Chul (Suwon Samsung Bluewings)
  • CB: Calvo (Chicago Fire)
  • LB: Matvienko (Shakthar Donetzk)

Midfielders:

  • LM: Lemar (Atletico Madrid)
  • CM: Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan)
  • RM: Ünder (AS Roma)
  • RM: Tsygankov (Dynamo Kyiv)

Forwards:

  • ST: Petkovic (Dinamo Zagreb)
  • ST: Ibrahimovic (L.A. Galaxy)
  • ST: Martinez (Atlanta United)

Substitutes:

  • GK: Zhang Lie (Beijing Renhe)
  • RB: Celik (LOSC Lille)
  • CM: Larsson (AIK)
  • CM: Kaiser (Brondby IF)
  • LF: Said (Dijon)
  • ST: Nagasawa (Vegalta Sendai)
  • ST: Edgar (Daegu FC)
  • RM: Kubo (FC Tokyo)
  • LM: Treand (Neuchâtel Xamax)
  • RF: Segura (DC United)
  • RF: Mountney (Dundalk)
  • LF: Moon Seon Min (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors)

How much longer will the TOTW continue? Since the major leagues have already suspended operations, it is expected that EA will not publish many more TOTWs. However, it cannot be said for sure, as EA has not announced anything regarding this yet.

Then the TOTW 38 will be released: On June 5, 2019, at 7 PM, the new Inform cards of TOTW 38 will be released. The cards will be available in packs for one week.

Keep in mind that predictions are never 100 % accurate. There may be significant differences from the actual TOTW from EA.

The Division 2: This is what Massive says about the bug with the blank rounds that makes everyone fuzzy

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

Massive commented on the supposed heavy placeholder bug in today’s State of the Game for The Division 2.

What kind of bug is this? The placeholder bug has apparently existed in the game for some time but only recently became widely known.

  • Players were shocked to find during tests at the shooting range that many of their hits were simply not registered by the game.
  • This problem currently occurs cross-platform on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
  • Many were concerned that the bug could occur throughout the entire game.
  • The consequence would have been that players would deal significantly less damage.

But what does Massive say about the issue?

division-2-agenten-sonne

The error is less severe than initially thought by players

This is what Massive says about the bug: According to community manager Hamish Bode, the team has investigated the error thoroughly. They found that there is an issue with the targets at the shooting range.

Apparently, it is a bug with the hitboxes, causing some hits not to be counted. However, this problem only occurs at the shooting range, as the developers emphasized.

Accordingly, no one needs to worry that this has also been the case in missions or other activities. Thus, concerns that the bug could affect difficulty levels are likely unfounded. Console players, in particular, have been worried about this.

Why specifically console players? Since the raid Operation: Dark Hours has been active, there have been ongoing discussions in the community. While many on PC are easily completing the raid – sometimes in under 20 minutes – very few have mastered it on Xbox One and PS4.

A discussion arose about how much harder The Division 2 is on consoles and that adjustments are needed. When the news of this bug circulated in the community, it reignited the discussion. At least this point seems to have been resolved now.

Additionally, more and more console players are now completing the raid. Some players can complete the first phase in just a few minutes, while many still take hours:

More info from the State of the Game:

  • PTS: Currently, the new specialization can only be played by completing challenges on the PTS. This is not intended and will be fixed soon. First gameplay of the Gunner is already available.
  • Specializations: Random drops for ammunition will be removed. From now on, you will see a bar next to your ammunition display. This can be charged using the perks of the specialization, indicating when you will receive ammunition again.
  • Gear Mods: Currently, it is not possible to equip general mods on high-end and gear set equipment on the PTS. However, red (attack), blue (defense), and yellow (additional) mods can now be equipped on all respective slots. There is no longer any categorization into critical, precision, and so on.
  • Skills: Extensive changes for Title Update 4 should not be expected. However, work is underway on improvements to make tank and skill builds valuable again.
  • Dark Zone: The Abtrünnig status is now available in the Occupied Dark Zone on the PTS. This is supposed to function as it did in the “Vanilla Dark Zone,” like in the Dark Zone of The Division 1, prior to Rogue 2.0. Theoretically, it is possible to infinitely level the manhunt status.
  • Exotics: Many have already discovered an exotic holster on the PTS. Apparently, there are also kneepads available on the PTS. These two are also supposed to come into the game after the PTS.

You can also watch the State of the Game yourself on Twitch:

Destiny 2: Leak gives fans hope for a feature that many want

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

When Bungie talks about the future of Destiny 2 on June 6, there might be a big surprise. Data miners have found a possible feature in the game data that has been on the Guardians’ wishlist for a long time: A banner for Cross-Save has been discovered.

What has been found? On June 4, with a new update, the Season of Opulence has begun in Destiny 2. When the patch was ready for download, data miners quickly sifted through the new data and struck gold. They might have already found the next expansion, which supposedly brings the Guardians back to the Moon.

Recently, the well-known data miner Ginsor has come forward and shown what he found in the new data: A banner and various icons for Cross-Save. He believes that Bungie might present this feature during the next livestream about the future of Destiny on June 6.

Link to the Twitter content

Why is Cross-Save only now? Cross-Save is one of the features players have been wishing for a long time. Once a platform has been chosen, the character is tied to it.

It is particularly tragic since Destiny 2 is also available for PC. Some Guardians might like to switch to PC, but they do not want to start over or are attached to their characters that they have been playing since Destiny 1.

The absence of Cross-Save until now is, according to gaming journalist Jason Schreier, due to Sony. He claims to have discovered in conversations with Bungie staff that Sony wanted people to connect Destiny 2 with the PS4. The company rejected Cross-Save or character transfer.

Whether Sony has now backed down on this matter is hard to say. After all, the Japanese have already given in on Crossplay in Fortnite. Additionally, Bungie recently separated from Activision. Perhaps a new deal could be negotiated this way.

What do the players say? In the Destiny subreddit, players are looking forward to a potential announcement. In the corresponding thread, there are recurring comments like “Don’t do this to me, don’t get my hopes up” and “If this is fake, it would be the meanest thing you could do”.

Especially the prospect of being able to switch to another platform without having to start over is well received by the Guardians. The only increase would probably be real Crossplay, says one player.

However, the Guardians wonder how this will work. It is especially debated whether one could freely switch between platforms and if so, what happens to items and content that initially appear exclusively on PlayStation 4.

Pokémon GO: How the Adventure Week helps you complete the Meltan quest

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the Adventure Week is currently running, and every player who has not yet completed the Meltan quest now has the best chances again. We will tell you why.

That was the problem with the Meltan quest: Anyone who has not completed the Meltan quest has faced many problems in recent weeks.

Various Pokémon needed for the quest were simply hard to find. Outside of an event, they are incredibly rare.

However, there is now an Adventure Week event that provides you with many Pokémon needed for this special research.

Here’s how you can easily complete the Meltan special research

Most players are likely currently stuck at stage 8 of the Meltan quest. Here, you need to catch Pokémon that are of the Rock type and are not found on every corner. The tasks there are as follows:

  • Catch two Kabuto or Amonitas
  • Catch two Liliep or Anorith
  • Catch one Aerodactyl
Meltan
The quest around Meltan is now easier to complete

During the Adventure Week, all 5 sought-after Pokémon can be found more frequently. So you should have no problems if you still need to complete one of these tasks.

Here’s how to find Kabuto or Amonitas: These two fossil Pokémon are currently very common in the wild. If you haven’t had luck there, you can also try in raids or with 2 km eggs. The Pokémon can also be found in those.

The Adventure Week brings you plenty of Anorith and Liliep

Here’s how to find Anorith or Liliep: These two Pokémon were introduced as shinies with the event. You can currently find them on almost every corner. Here, you should really have no problems. They can also be found in eggs and in raids.

The current quests for Adventure Week also include Anorith and Liliep.

Here’s how to find Aerodactyl: Here, you might still have the biggest problems, but Aerodactyl is also quite easy to get. On the one hand, the Pokémon appears somewhat more frequently in the wild, on the other hand, Aerodactyl is a Level 3 raid.

If you complete the quest “Catch 5 Kabuto or Amonitas,” you will also receive an Aerodactyl.

Pokémon GO Aerodactyl Title
You can currently easily obtain Aerodactyl

What about the other Pokémon? In addition to the Pokémon mentioned above, some players also have problems catching Ditto, Owei, Tragosso, and Magnetilo.

Here are some tips for you:

  • You can find Owei in the quest “Hatch an egg” (but you could also encounter Spoink)
  • Ditto can be found in many common Pokémon. Here you will find the current Ditto list
  • Magnetilo is often attracted by the new Magnet Module, so you will surely find it there
  • Tragosso is currently difficult to find, but complete Alolan Marowak raids, as Marowak also counts towards the quest as Tragosso

Which buddy Pokémon you should choose during the event, we will tell you here:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare: What is in the $200 Edition? Fans are wondering

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available in various editions. One of them, the “Dark Edition”, was leaked by the US store GameStop. However, the contents are still unclear. This does not stop fans from speculating.

What editions of Modern Warfare are there? According to the US store GameStop, they have two physical editions of Modern Warfare: The standard version and the special Precise Edition for 100 dollars are already listed, and for a short time, there was also a more expensive Dark Edition for 200 US dollars. Both Special Editions are said to be exclusive to GameStop.

However, the Dark Edition quickly disappeared from the selection. Nevertheless, the incident was caught by fans, and since then, people have been wondering what could possibly be in a 200-dollar edition of Call of Duty.

Source: GameRant

Shamefully Expensive Dark Edition Fuels Speculation

What could possibly be in the thick Dark Edition? The contents of the Dark Edition are unknown, but at least we know what is included in the Precise Edition, which costs 100 dollars. It includes:

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
  • Collectible Steelbook
  • KontrolFreek Modern Warfare Performance Thumbsticks
  • KontrolFreek Modern Warfare Controller Skin

Additionally, there is the Operator Pack with digital items:

  • 3 Weapon Skins
  • 3 Operator Skins
  • Additional Bonus Items
  • Custom In-Game Tactical Knife
  • Call of Duty Endowment C.O.D.E. Calling Card

Since the Precise Edition targets physical items for precise controllers, fans on Reddit now suspect that the Dark Edition has a theme of darkness and light. They speculate, among other things, about physical items:

  • A real night vision device, similar to what is supposed to be used in a particularly controversial mission
  • A high-quality flashlight
  • A stylish power bank in CoD design to avoid darkness

So much for the speculations about the Dark Edition. Would you buy it if you received a real night vision device?

Fortnite pro’s Twitch channel banned after Tfue said: He is only 11

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The Fortnite professional FaZe H1ghsky1 was actually on the verge of a great career on Twitch and in Fortnite since he joined the FaZe clan. However, that seems to have abruptly ended. Apparently, Twitch has suspended his channel, after Twitch star Tfue said: The boy was only 11 years old when he signed the professional contract.

Why is age so important? You must be at least 13 years old to compete on Twitch and participate in Epic Games tournaments in Fortnite.

The young streamer “H1ghsky1” is reportedly 13 years old according to his clan FaZe and his own Twitter profile, but this has recently been questioned.

Where do the allegations come from? The popular Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney has accused his own clan FaZe of signing an 11-year-old player and lying about his age.

FaZe allegedly pressured the boy and his parents to lie about his age, the streamer claimed. Tfue made these allegations as part of a complaint against the clan FaZe before the “Labor Commissioner”.

It quickly became clear to everyone that Tfue could only mean FaZe H1ghsky1.

An online site had subsequently uncovered some cached photos from social media. The boy’s mother is said to have posted them from a birthday party.

These photos allegedly provided evidence that H1ghsky1 is not yet 13. The photos put him at 12.

Even in the Fortnite community, there was discussion that the boy had magically aged overnight upon joining FaZe.

This is what has happened now: At the moment, H1ghsky1’s channel on Twitch is inaccessible. Anyone trying to access the Twitch channel receives only Twitch’s error message.

There has been no statement from Twitch that H1ghsky1 was indeed suspended for being “too young” – a statement from the player himself is also still pending.

How successful was the player? Joining the FaZe clan gave H1ghsky1 a boost on Twitch.

Although he had some successes on Twitch in June and July 2018 and gained about 70,000 followers, H1ghsky1 made the big leap in March, April, and May 2019.

In the three months after joining FaZe, his channel grew by nearly 260,000 followers.

Are you into economy in games? Then play these 4 MMORPGs

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 6 minutes

MMORPGs are not only fun, but you can even make money with some of them. We present to you four online role-playing games with a profound economic system in which you can earn a lot of money – virtually and even in real life.

Are you into economic systems in games and like to participate in the economy to advance in the game or even make real money? In these four MMOs, you can earn a lot of money.

EVE Online

EVE Online

How does the economic system in EVE Online work? In EVE Online, there is essentially a free market economy. This means that prices in the game are determined by supply and demand.

  • Players mine resources in specific areas, which they then sell to other players
  • Goods are produced from the resources. These circulate through the market
  • Player organizations also offer services
  • Pirates can ambush trading ships or “miners”, which is why protection can be rented as a service
  • Fraud is as possible as robbery
  • Prices depend not only on supply and demand but also on risk. If a trader has to fly a route that is often attacked by pirates, their prices will increase
  • Auctions also play a role
  • It is still possible to rent areas in a region of space. If there are valuable resources, a player rents the area from the prevailing player organization and gives a part of their income to them

Therefore, it is possible to participate in a very well-functioning economy, and with economic skill, you can become a large and important organization in EVE Online.

The income that one can earn can even be converted into game time. Thus, large companies in the game can play EVE Online for free.

This is why the system is praised: The fans of EVE Online have built a complete and functioning economy in the game. The entire economy is managed by the players. The free market works basically like in the real world. It offers a lot of complexity, depth, and also room for illegal operations. Essentially, anything is possible.

It is possible to build something big in the game through trade, production, and services, thus becoming a “power” in the universe. Additionally, the currency PLEX can be traded for real money in the game. So, it is also possible to earn money with EVE Online – or to run a successful company in real life.

This is what is criticized about the system: For newcomers, it is of course difficult to gain a foothold. But it is possible. With the right idea and economic knowledge, even a newcomer can achieve something.

The problematic issues are the bots. These pose a major problem. Bots disrupt the economy. Bots are used, for example, to mine resources on a large scale or hunt NPC pirates. As a result, botters generate billions in-game currency. This leads to inflation of the in-game currency PLEX.

Apex Legends: After the new update, heroes easily discard the worst weapon

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Apex Legends there is a very bad weapon that almost everyone hates. Even the developers. To further discriminate against the weapon, they have now changed an animation for it!

Which weapon is it? Those who know Apex Legends also know what a Mozambique is. This does not refer to the African country in the game, but to a mini shotgun that counts as a pistol.

The weapon looks cool with its three barrels, but its stats are extremely bad. It is almost impossible to get proper kills with it, even if you hit with every shot.

Therefore, the weapon has a notoriously bad reputation among players, and often it is left behind even when one would otherwise be unarmed.

apex-mozambique
Hardly anyone likes the Mozambique.

A new animation makes you angrily throw away the weapon

What have the developers done? Even the developers find the Mozambique dumb. They have never made a secret of it. The weapon is supposed to be so bad that there is a bad weapon in the game.

Therefore, the developers have allowed themselves a special joke with the weapon. In the last patch 1.2, a new animation was quietly added without mention in the patch notes.

New Mozambique Animation from r/apexlegends

When you switch a weapon in Apex Legends, it is normally just dropped. In the case of the Mozambique, however, your character throws it away with anger and disgust. Your avatar is glad to be rid of this lousy weapon and to have another gun (or nothing at all).

This is how players are reacting: The new animation is extremely well received by fans. In several threads on Reddit, players are applauding this successful joke by the developers:

  • “Oh damn, that’s funny!”
  • “Throw that trash away as if it were a Fortnite invitation!”
  • “I stop and laugh every time that happens!”

A player on Reddit even made a funny meme about it.

Apex-mozambique-meme

The new animation inspires players. On Reddit, someone noted that such could be done with the legends in the game. For example, Bangalore could check the magazine when picking up a weapon, Pathfinder could directly integrate shield batteries, or Lifeline could see some extra syringes in the med kit. There is potential for more individuality.

What do you think about the new animation of the Mozambique? Is it okay to have an intentionally bad weapon in the game, or is it a silly joke at the expense of gameplay?

In Fallout 76 there are items for real money, but Bethesda finds that okay

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In the Atomic Shop of Fallout 76, repair kits have been available for purchase for some time. Many players saw this as a breach of a promise made by Bethesda beforehand, and criticism poured in. Now Project Lead Jeff Gardiner and Development Director Chris Mayer are responding to it.

Which items are involved? A few weeks ago, with the patch on April 23, 2019, Fallout 76 introduced new repair kits in the Atomic Shop. The kits can be purchased with atoms that players earn in-game or with real money.

Unlike the otherwise purely cosmetic items in the shop, the repair kits also have an effect in the game. Those who use them can repair equipment directly from their inventory without using additional materials.

Shortly after the announcement of the kits, there was a loud backlash from the community. Bethesda had promised beforehand that the Atomic Shop would only contain cosmetic items. Some fans saw the kits as a “pay2win” factor.

fallout 76 mad vaultboy title image

This is the attitude towards repair kits

This is what Bethesda says: In an interview with PCGamer, Jeff Gardiner spoke about this very problem. However, Gardiner does not see anything in the repair kits that would provide an unfair advantage:

We think the repair kits are a convenience for people who don’t want to grind for glue and other things. It’s just a way to shortcut the system, definitely not pay2win. I will disagree with anyone who claims that repair kits will let them win the game.

Gardiner further explains that players in Fallout 76 are not playing against each other anyway – except in the new PvP mode. According to an earlier statement from Bethesda, they are observing how players are handling the repair kits and what complaints arise. If necessary, the kits will be adjusted.

Fallout 76 PvP

What do fans think about it? Recently, the topic has come up less frequently or not at all in forums or on reddit. Players demanding that the kits be removed are rather reprimanded by the community. After the initial outcry, most players have probably just accepted or ignored the kits.

Some of the “casuals” are even more satisfied with the kits because they save them work and they can easily farm them in the game through challenges rewarded with atoms:

As a low-level player, I never had the resources to repair my weapons. So I did quests that earned me atoms to buy repair kits without spending money. As a low-level player, you really appreciate such little things and it makes adventures much more fun.

Rotakw on reddit
fallout-76-map-name
Those new to Appalachia appreciate the kits even more.

Only features like trading the kits, for example in player shops, are occasionally mentioned as wishes.

What do you think about the kits?

Fallout 76 has faced criticism repeatedly. The director sees some of it as justified:

“Days of Summer” brings countless contents to Black Ops 4, still disappointed

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Days of Summer have started! This update brings various new features, such as a new map and additional game modes, yet many fans are disappointed.

What do the Days of Summer bring? So far, it hasn’t been entirely clear what this update entails. Now it is live and brings a multitude of new additions.

In addition to some significant changes, there are also many small additions that will hardly affect gameplay. We will show you the highlights.

Here are the new features of Days of Summer

An old map returns: Experts of the Black Ops series will remember it: The map “Grind” is back, set in a small skate park.

Grind
A new map is available

The map will be free for all players. It will initially launch on PS4, with other platforms to follow.

A new Featured Playlist: Additionally, Black Ops 4 will get a new Featured Playlist. Now you will be able to engage in “Capture the Flag.” In this mode, you must protect your own flag and bring the opponent’s flag to your base.

What’s new in Blackout: The battle royale mode of Black Ops 4 is also receiving some changes. A summery atmosphere will be spread across the map. You will come across colorful summer lights, BBQ parties, and even water balloons that you can throw.

Blackout Summer
It will be summery in Blackout

Moreover, Blackout will introduce “Ground War,” a massive “50 vs. 50” mode. There will be no friendly fire, and you can revive all your teammates. Activision itself calls it the largest fight in the history of Call of Duty.

Furthermore, a new attack helicopter is coming to Blackout, and you can use the “Hawk” to search for enemies across the entire map.

That’s why Days of Summer is still not very well received

There are numerous new features, and players could try out the new features for hours. Nevertheless, the update is criticized by many fans. But why?

This is what the fans criticize: With the Days of Summer, 5 new weapons were also introduced to the game. The problem is, apart from a sniper rifle, these weapons can only be found in reserve crates. While you can obtain them for free, the loot pool is massive, and the chance of getting the new weapons is low.

Black Ops 4 Blackout free
New weapons are advertised as free, but most of the time you have to buy reserve crates

This does not sit well with many fans, as it often happened in Black Ops 3 that new weapons could only be found in such crates. So if you want to ensure that you get the new weapons, you either need a lot of luck with the free reserve crates or you have to buy some.

von Sven Galitzki

The problem with reserve crates has been known for a long time in Black Ops 4. In this current update, it again shows that Activision continues to rely on such a principle for new weapons. This lowers the overall appeal of the update, which actually offers a lot of content but disappoints the fans.

What do you think about it? Do you find the update good or are you also disappointed?

Curious glitch in Destiny 2 blasts players to max level 750 in no time

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

A player has managed to reach the new maximum power level in Destiny 2 in no time. Shortly after the start of Season 7, the Guardian was already at 750. The reason for this was apparently a severe glitch.

How many Guardians are starting the new season: The start of a new season in Destiny 2 means for many Guardians initially: Leveling with the new max power level in sight. Because in the Season of Opulence, the level cap was raised by 50 and is now at power level 750.

If you want to get a taste of the new raid that recently destroyed Datto, or tackle the new 6-man activity “The Menagerie”, then a higher power level is of great advantage. To reach the new cap, it would normally take several days, if not weeks.

A player was particularly quick and achieved the new maximum level of 750 shortly after the start of Season 7 – mind you, in less than two hours.

How did he do it? The Guardian “SHHHMURDAA- _” claims to owe the quick path to power level 750 to a curious glitch or bug. However, he cannot explain exactly how it happened.

What exactly does the glitch do? Normally, with the start of a new season, the ranks in PvP or Gambit are reset. Therefore, Guardians should start at 0.

But to his surprise, “SHHHMURDAA- _” noticed after the weekly reset on June 4, the start of Season 7, that despite the new season, he immediately had the highest Gambit rank with 15,000 points.

He tried to reset the rank and received a powerful reward for it. His astonishment grew even larger when he found out after the rank reset that he still remained at 15,000 points, and the rank was not reset despite the reset. He reset it again – with the same result.

This allowed him to reset his infamy rank as long as he collected powerful rewards until shortly thereafter, he had filled all gear and weapon slots with 750 items.

Can the glitch be reproduced? The “victim” cannot say what caused the glitch. Also, he cannot confirm whether this glitch can be replicated in any way or if other players are affected by it.

However, he recorded the error in a video and uploaded it to YouTube, urging Bungie to fix their game quickly.

What does Bungie say? The studio has now also become aware of this phenomenon and the corresponding video and is investigating the incident. It currently looks like it is an isolated case.

Gameplay from The Division 2 shows Gunner in action – The minigun is devastating

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

The PTS (Player Test Server) are online in The Division 2. There, PC players can test content from the upcoming update, such as the fourth specialization, the Gunner. Now there is first gameplay showing its new minigun in action.

This is the new Gunner: The fourth specialization of The Division 2 revolves around the new personal weapon, the minigun. There is also a new skill tree with which you can unlock various perks and advantages.

YouTuber NickTew has now released first gameplay that gives a look at the skill tree and the minigun in action. He cuts through several enemies relatively easily. We summarize the key insights from the video.

The Gunner in Action – “You can be Boomers yourselves”

The video shows: First, you get a look at the skill tree and what the Gunner can unlock with specialization points. Then NickTew showcases the minigun in action.

This is the new minigun:

  • Shots per minute: 1000
  • Shots per magazine: 150
  • Properties:
    • A Good Offense: When you draw the minigun, you gain bonus armor for each bullet in the magazine. The bonus can increase up to +50%. Each hit also regenerates 1% armor.

How does the minigun perform in action? In the gameplay video, NickTew first takes out some enemies on the streets of D.C. There is also a duel between him and a heavy tank with its own minigun. This is decided quickly; he dispatches all enemies in his way with ease. This is also the case in the mission Bank Headquarters, which he starts afterward.

It is noticeable that ammunition might run low, as NickTew rarely has more than 300 shots. Unfortunately, the video does not show what the maximum is. However, it is interesting that the minigun reloads its magazine very quickly.

The question remains how the Gunner performs in raids and heroic missions. Additionally, NickTew could hardly expand the skill tree.

Therefore, it remains to be seen how the new specialization will perform in the toughest activities.

What can the skill tree actually do? The skill tree is very similar to those of the other specializations, only that the effects are tailored to the Gunner:

  • New on the PTS is that specializations now have the option to level up to 3 passive weapon bonuses. Therefore, unlike before, you can now combine any weapon class with any specialization and enhance them through perks.
  • Also new: The damage of individual weapons now scales with the world tier.
  • The Gunner can regenerate armor per kill with the perk “Incessant”. At level 1, 5% per kill is possible, and the perk can be upgraded to rank 3. Presumably, this allows up to 15% recovery.
  • The Gunner’s armor kits heal not only 100% armor but also provide an armor bonus of +50% for 10 seconds.
  • The individual skill variant “Banshee” is part of the tactical scan. This allows enemies to be confused and brought out of cover with a kind of impulse wave.
  • You can also unlock an individual weapon mod that provides +50 rounds for LMGs.
  • With the perk “Barrage,” the rate of fire per kill can also be increased. The effect lasts for 5 seconds. It is unclear whether the effect can stack or if it simply reactivates with each kill.

How do you unlock the specialization? There are five challenges that must be completed beforehand to unlock the Gunner. These can be completed on the PTS.

What exactly they are and what you need to do will be summarized for you in a guide, as always.

What else is being tested on the PTS can be read in the patch notes.

The story of WoW continues: Here are all the cutscenes from Patch 8.2

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft brings many new cutscenes. A large part of it is already included in the game.

A new update for Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara has been deployed on the PTR of World of Warcraft. In addition to small changes to the essences of the Heart of Azeroth and minor class adjustments, the cutscenes have now been brought into the game.

The colleagues from wowhead have already located the cutscenes. We want to briefly introduce them to you. Please note that some of the cutscenes still have minor errors – these will surely be fixed by the release.

Spoiler Alert: The cutscenes logically reveal major plot points from Patch 8.2. If you do not want to see this, you should not watch the clips. You have been warned.

The Heart of Azeroth and the Diagnosis of MOTHER

With Patch 8.2, the Heart of Azeroth receives the essences that players can use to unlock new abilities. We learn how this comes about from Magni and MOTHER in the heart chamber.

MOTHER informs players that the Heart of Azeroth needs more power to stop the death of Azeroth. This power comes from essences derived from the powers of the Titans – specifically, the power of the Dragon Aspects. There may be essences in their vicinity that players need to search for.

War Campaign: The Rescue of Baine

The war campaign in Patch 8.2 revolves mainly around the rescue of Baine, who is currently captured in Orgrimmar. Both factions are trying to rescue Baine from the grip of the Banshee Queen. This leads to a meeting between Thrall and Jaina, as well as the respective players of the factions. They unite for this endeavor, giving Baine a better chance.

After Baine is reached, however, the heroes find that his chains are secured against magic.

The Sunstriders have some unfinished business with Jaina, as many of them were killed during the “Cleansing of Dalaran”.

New Update 1.2 in Apex Legends fixes bugs, brings more loot – English patch notes

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Apex Legends has received a patch with bug fixes along with the new challenges and the big event at the end of Season 1. Check out the patch notes in English here.

What’s included in the new Apex update? At midnight on June 4th, the latest patch 1.2 for Apex Legends arrived on the servers with considerable delay. It included the long-awaited first challenges and the big event at the end of Season 1.

In addition to these goodies, there were also a number of bug fixes and adjustments aimed at solving some issues in Apex Legends.

The new features from Update 1.2

These are the patch notes: We have summarized and translated here the most important and significant bug fixes from the current Apex update 1.2 for you.

Apex Legends Epic master of the Hunt Bloodhound Skin title

Map Updates

The following changes affect the map King’s Canyon:

  • In Thunderdome, scattered loot has been boxed to create more order and structure
  • The Pit now has double the loot
  • The trapezoidal building at Repulsor now has loot boxes
  • The underground pit near the town by Shattered Forest now has more loot
  • You can now ping jump towers, and there are corresponding voice lines

What does this bring? The increase in loot at The Pit is good news, as this location has previously been rather sparsely visited. Loot in Apex Legends has often been quite scarce at the beginning of a match, which should improve with patch 1.2. Additionally, more ping options are certainly never wrong to enhance tactical gameplay.

Diverse bug fixes and adjustments

The following changes affect various aspects of the game, fix bugs, and make the game more accessible:

Quality of Life improvements:

  • The delay in displaying menu items when looting a box from fallen enemies has been reduced.
  • The mini-map orientation is now displayed correctly while you are in the ship or parachuting.
  • Parachuting has been improved to feel more accessible and smoother.
  • Thermite grenades now damage doors.
  • Improvements to the squad setup page:
    • Players can now mute/report players from this page.
    • Players can now report team members who have disconnected.
  • Caustic’s barrels can now be triggered and deactivated by friendly teammates.
  • [Only Xbox and PS4] The ability to fully customize controller button layouts has been added.
  • A cooldown of [0.5 seconds] has been added before the last zip line you were on can be used again.
  • Pathfinder’s grappling hook now displays a blue reticle when it is within range of objects it can connect to.
  • When grabbing a zip line, the trajectory now pulls players to a point below the zip line rather than above it. This makes it more likely for players to connect with the zip line instead of flying over it.
  • Weapon reticles and scopes have been improved when playing with color-blind settings.
  • Bloodhound’s ultimate and the Threat Vision scope now support the color-blind mode.
  • The ability for players to change game settings that were not intended to be changed on the client side has been removed to prevent players from gaining an unfair competitive advantage.
  • The “stow weapon” behavior has been reversed, so pressing this button while a melee attack is disabled no longer brings out the last primary weapon.
  • Localized voice outputs have been added for all legends, including English.

Bug fixes, performance fixes, and exploits:

Patch causes issues

Were there bugs with the patch? According to some players on Reddit there were changes that were not in the notes. Some players report that they now glide less far and shoot much worse. This could be a bug caused by the changes to jumping.

Additionally, the guns Devotion and Havoc have received more ammunition, which was not intended and should be fixed.

Overall, Respawn has probably fixed quite a few bugs again. One can only hope that the new features and the planned features from the upcoming Season 2 will boost the declining player numbers.

Those who want to play the new Warhammer: Chaosbane with friends have a real problem

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Since Warhammer: Chaosbane was released, it has attracted numerous players, some of whom are dissatisfied with the game. The list of problems is increasingly also including issues with multiplayer.

What is the problem? Currently, the multiplayer of Warhammer: Chaosbane does not work as intended for many PC players. Fans report this in a thread in the Steam discussion forum.

Inviting a friend to the game should actually work easily through the menu. In the game menu, under “Online Play,” a friend needs to be invited to the game. However, friends often simply do not receive an invitation.

There seem to be no such issues with local couch co-op, though. Console players also report difficulties less frequently.

Chaosbane officially released on June 4 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A early access with first players was available from May 31.

Those who want to play Chaosbane with friends might encounter difficulties at the moment.

How can you play together? If you do not want to rely on local co-op, you can use a little trick. As Steam users Porksnoup and Sgt art explained, you need to proceed as follows:

  • The Steam profiles must not be “private”
  • The host of the game must set their game to “public” or “friends only” in the options
  • The participating friend must not already be in the game. They must open the game through the invitation

If these steps are followed, playing together should work perfectly on PC at least. However, there seem to be additional issues with the mode.

These additional difficulties exist

Players repeatedly report in the Steam forums and on reddit about errors that plague multiplayer:

  • Mission progress is not correctly carried over, or missions cannot be completed
  • Rewards and loot are not properly calculated, especially in later expedition modes – less loot drops
  • The story progress is reset
  • The game crashes

All this also contributes to the declining reviews on Steam. The developers have already confirmed in a post on reddit that they are working on fixing bugs in an upcoming update. What exactly will be fixed will be revealed later in the week.

Are you still looking for the right ARPG for you and your friends?
