German media stirs up the ‘Momentum Scandal’ in FIFA 19 – But it’s old news

Schuhmann 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, German media and gaming sites are reporting about an alleged scandal in FIFA 19. A patent is said to prove that the match flow in EA’s football game is being manipulated. They refer to a YouTube video. However, the supposedly very recent leak is already a year and a half old.

What’s happening right now? A YouTuber uploaded a video “FIFA 19: How EA is fooling us.” (via YouTube)

In the video, he refers to a patent from 2017 (via patentimgaes), which concerns the dynamic adjustment of the difficulty level.

This technique is supposed to affect many aspects:

Players with losing streaks should have better chances of pulling top players from the FUT card packs
Stronger players are said to be disadvantaged in a FIFA 19 match, while weaker players are favored, so that the matches are more exciting and players stay engaged longer

This patent has now “emerged as a leak” and finally it can be proven what has been suspected all along: The “momentum” is real. The games in FIFA 19 are manipulated.

The YouTuber urges viewers to make this scandal big. He seems to be quite successful at it.

Some German websites, primarily Sport Bild, have picked up on this topic and are reporting on a scandal.

Why are only German sites reporting on this? This is because the YouTuber has not presented any new facts.

The patent was made public back in early 2018 and sparked a discussion. EA has since assured that it was not used in FIFA 19.

More on the topic

EA is researching a matchmaking system that makes you spend more money

von Andreas Bertits

Therefore, there is no new information here. Well-informed FIFA players have known about the document for a long time and EA’s statement regarding it.

Although the topic flares up again whenever people discover this patent for themselves, they are informed by experienced forum users that this has already been discussed 100 times.

It is merely noticeable that in Reddit’s FIFA, the patent was again discussed 6 days ago (via reddit) – possibly the YouTuber has now picked up this discussion for his video.

Why is this coming up again? Some FIFA players firmly believe that there is a “momentum” and justify this with incredible game sequences.

They may be overwhelmingly dominant but suddenly hit nothing, as if the game has “decided” that the opponent must win now.

Additionally, many believe that well-known YouTubers and streamers have disproportionately good luck when opening loot boxes. Their chances are increased and certainly manipulated because only the content creators get the “good cards,” while they themselves only draw “garbage.”

What does EA say about this? A community manager from EA states in the German forum that they have repeatedly posted and confirmed that there are no factors like handicap, momentum, or scripting in FIFA 19. Therefore, such posts violate the rules of the official FIFA forum (via answers.ea.com)

A similar rumor also existed for Anthem, another EA title:

The Division 2 lets you test the next update on the PTS – Preliminary Patch Notes

Tarek Zehrer 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The PTS (Public Test Server) for The Division 2 have reopened their virtual gates. Players can now extensively test some features of Title Update 4. These are the preliminary patch notes.

What can you test? Title Update 4 brings some changes and new features. Not all are known, but the test servers provide a good impression.

You can try out the 4th specialization, the Gunner, and examine some other innovations closely.

Attention: The PTS has been officially online since June 4th at 4 PM. Currently, there are issues, and you cannot log in yet.

The Patch Notes of the PTS

This is included in the test version of Update 4:

New Specialization

As mentioned above, you can test the new Gunner with Minigun and Skill Tree on the PTS.
However, there are some challenges that you need to complete first to unlock the Gunner.

Mods

Common protocol and additional mods can no longer be applied to high-end, gear set, and exotic equipment.
All qualities below are unaffected.

Quests

Roosevelt Island: Containers containing the virus are now easier to spot.

NPCs

Removed “bulletproof” backpacks from enemies that could block incoming damage.
Adjusts NPC speed when they switch cover.
Hostile technicians can now place turrets on the ground as well.
“Controller” type enemies should no longer get stuck or unresponsive in various situations.
NPCs cannot be suppressed when they activate a drone.

User Interface

Fixes a bug where a “!” is constantly displayed even if no new items are found.
Apparel containers now only show a “!” if you also have a key for it.
There is now a cooldown for kicking players from the group, displayed via timer.

More on the topic

This bug in The Division 2 could mean: You are shooting 50% with blanks

von Tarek Zehrer

Skills

Reviver (Drone stock mod): Has been adjusted again and is now supposed to revive more reliably.
Assault Drone: When the drone takes down an enemy, it automatically targets the next enemy you fire at.

Talents

Rooted: The description now correctly shows a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Acknowledgments

The progress of “Discovery Merits” is now counted across groups, just like opening a chest.

These changes also include a long list of smaller bug fixes. You can find these in the English patch notes in the official Reddit post.

Are these all the changes from Title Update 4? Probably not. Typically, the features of the updates are rolled out in phases to the PTS. It is therefore likely that more changes will follow.

According to Massive, they also plan to look at loot, balancing, and build diversity. What else they plan can be found in the summary of the last State of the Game.

If you are one of the testers, you can submit your feedback and suggestions in the corresponding PTS forum.

Just this week, Title Update 3.1 was released. You can read about what changed in our highlights of the patch notes:

What is the story about? After an unusual encounter with Legiana in the Ancient Forest, the Commission now travels to the Frost Fields. This is said to be the largest map in the game.

In the trailer, you can see your new base called Seliana, which is being gradually built. There you will find plenty of useful resources. From there, you will start your missions.

Your task is still unknown. However, it seems that the monsters in the Frost Fields hide some secrets that you must solve.

The monster Glavenus returns

This is how the trailer ends: There is also a small teaser at the end of the trailer. You can see fire and hear the roar of a monster that will provide an interesting contrast to the icy world.

The monster is the Wyvern Glavenus, which is associated with the element of fire. It creates fiery explosions from its tail and mouth. Here you can find the Wiki entry for Glavenus.

Fortnite: Strange new item leaves community guessing, coming in the next patch

Jürgen Horn 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale is bringing a new item soon. But what is the “Storm Flipper” supposed to be? The community is puzzled.

What is the new item in Fortnite? According to the news in the game, another item is coming for the new update 9.20. It’s a kind of lightning in a bottle called “Storm Flipper”. The description states “Unleash the storm or harness it. You have the choice.”

Is the new item an improved stink bomb?

What does the new item do? According to the description, the new item should be able to create or contain a storm. On Reddit, among other things, the following is suspected:

The item creates a small storm zone that continuously deals damage
It is suspected that this zone either lasts for a very long time or could even be permanent
Alternatively, many players also suspect that the Storm Flipper creates a safe zone when used in the storm. This version could also be extremely useful when late in the game, allowing for longer survival in the storm.

Fans fear for the stink bomb: Since the Storm Flipper in its offensive version does almost the same thing as the stink bomb, namely a damage-over-time effect, many fans are now concerned that the stink bomb will be removed. A user on Reddit has already illustrated this with a funny meme like Avengers: Infinity War.

Other players, on the other hand, believe that both items will have a place in the game. By the way, it is considered very unlikely that the shadow bombs will be removed, as they are part of a weekly challenge from week 1 .

When will we know more? Data miners don’t have any information for us this time, but update 9.20 is expected to be released on Wednesday, June 5, 2019. By then, we will finally know what the Storm Flipper item does.

What is your opinion on the new item? And would it be a good replacement for the stink bomb?

Players Laugh: Battlefield 5 sells “Epic Dirt” for $5

Noah Struthoff 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 5, a cosmetic is currently in focus. For $5, you can buy dirt on your character’s face. Many players are already making jokes and calling it “epic dirt.”

This is the cosmetic in question: Customizing your character works seamlessly in Battlefield 5. Now, some savvy players have stumbled upon a somewhat pointless cosmetic.

For $5, you can buy protection on your face. Particularly intriguing: There is a similar cosmetic that simply shows a bit less dirt on the face, for Company Coins. So you don’t have to spend real money on it.

You can invest $5 in a dirty face or just use Company Coins for almost the same cosmetic, which simply shows less dirt. This is not the first case in Battlefield 5 where a cosmetic causes a stir.

This is how the community reacts to the cosmetic

How did it come to light? On Reddit, a thread has already received nearly 5,000 upvotes. There, the user “tjoppie_FTW” shows the comparison of both cosmetics.

What do players say about it? The thread creator himself writes ironically: “Yes, I will pay $5 for a bit of dirt on my character’s chin!”

Under the thread, ironic comments continue almost endlessly. Here are some highlights:

SirFappington007: “It’s not just any old dirt, it’s epic dirt!”
magnoxxx: “Don’t dare to belittle the art required to create this! For one, it’s just dirt, but for the artist, it was a whole lifetime that led to the creation of THIS PIECE!”
muzza798: “This is no ordinary dirt; this is first-class, naturally grown French dirt.”
DylanHD34: “I can buy a 10-liter bag of dirt for $3.50 at my local hardware store.”

What do you think about this cosmetic? Would it be worth $5 to you, or do you find it just as ridiculous as other players?

DICE does not only make such things. They have also fulfilled a major wish for the players:

Destiny 2: Update 2.5.0.1 / 1.36 is now available – Patch Notes and all info

Sven Galitzki 4. June 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

Destiny 2 starts today with Season 7, which is initiated by the new update 2.5.0.1 / 1.36. Here you can find everything important about the maintenance work, the server downtime, as well as the patch notes and the new content.

Today, on June 4th, the Season of the Vagabond ends with the weekly reset in Destiny 2, and the new Season 7, the Season of Opulence, begins immediately after the start.

But before you dive into the new content, you need to download and install the large seasonal update 2.5.0.1. Only then can you play again, so the update is mandatory.

Update: The update is now available and can be downloaded. On PS4, it has the version number 1.36 and is approximately 4GB in size.

What changes with update 2.5.0.1 / 1.36 in Destiny 2

First of all, this update brings content from Season 7 into play. To keep you well informed about what to expect in the new season, we have summarized everything you need to know about the Season of Opulence:

There will also be some sandbox changes and bug fixes. Here are the most important changes at the beginning of Season 7, that are currently known:

A complete list of all changes will be provided with the patch notes. These are expected later today.

Destiny 2: All about maintenance, downtimes, and server downtimes on 04.06.

Today’s Destiny update will be accompanied by maintenance work. During this time, there will be a several-hour server downtime. If everything goes according to plan, the servers will remain offline for two hours.

This is how Bungie wants to ensure that as many people as possible can download and install the update before the new season and the preparation for the new raid “Crown of Sorrow” begins.

This is the official schedule for maintenance on June 4th:

16:00:

Planned start of maintenance

17:00:

All guardians will be removed from the game
Destiny 2 and the companion app will go offline
Update 2.5.0.1 will be released for all platforms and in all regions

19:00:

The Destiny 2 servers will come back online
Players who have already downloaded and installed Update 2.5.0.1 can log back in
The Season of Opulence begins
The features of the companion app should now be fully available again

20:00:

Expected end of maintenance

What console players on PS4 and Xbox One should note: If the update for Destiny 2 is taking unusually long for you today, you can manually conduct the update. You can find out how to do this in these help articles from Bungie:

If you still don’t see the update, perform a reset (No, not to factory settings!) of your console.

How to reset consoles: Disconnect your PS4 from power for about a minute. Then plug it back in and start it.

For the Xbox One, you only need to hold the power button a bit longer. Then the console should shut down and restart.

Bungie recommends the following for both consoles:

Completely shut down the console
Make sure it is not in power-saving mode
Disconnect the console completely from the power supply
Wait 5 minutes
Reconnect the console to the power supply

This way, the update should be automatically downloaded after the console is powered on if it is already available. If it is still not the case, search again for the update and try the manual installation.

Patch notes for update 2.5.0.1 / 1.36 for Destiny 2

The official German patch notes for today’s Destiny 2 update are not yet available. They are expected later today. In the meantime, we have included the original English change log for you:

Today the PTS starts with Cataclysm for Anthem – Will it save the bad mood?

Micha Deckert 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

BioWare has announced the launch of the test server for the PC version of Anthem. But before players have played the Cataclysm themselves, they’re already cracking jokes. Moreover, they find it incomprehensible why the PTS is launching today while many other games are receiving new content.

What is the PTS? Already at the end of April, BioWare announced a test server. On it, players can test new content for Anthem before its release and provide their feedback on it.

The Public Test Server, PTS, is now open for PC players of Anthem starting today (June 4) at 5 PM. It doesn’t matter whether you own the game or are a subscriber of Origin Access Premier. You can find the test server in your Origin library.

However, there is no PTS for console players on PS4 and Xbox One.

Anthem E3 2017 Cataclysm — The Cataclysm as seen in the E3 2017 trailer.

What is the mood of the players? The mood in the Anthem subreddit is currently not very good. After the BioWare livestream about the Cataclysm, some players already mentioned that the content is not what the developers actually promised. The fact that the entire event seems to take place on a separate map and does not affect free play is particularly troubling for the players.

Also, the errors and bugs that still exist in the game are challenging the freelancers. However, jokes are already being made that these might be the first signs of the Cataclysm.

What are players saying about the test server? Many players in the Anthem subreddit are wondering why BioWare had to launch the PTS today. After all, some other players are receiving new content today: In Destiny 2, the new Season of Opulence begins today, in ESO the new expansion Elsweyr starts today on consoles, and also in The Division 2, the test server is going online again.

Players are also concerned about how testing will work in Anthem. The description states that freelancers cannot bring their current Javelin or equipment to the PTS and cannot transfer items from the test server to the normal servers.

Players now hope that this does not mean they will have to farm gear to test the Cataclysm.

Adventure week starts today in Pokémon GO, but important adventure sync is not working

Noah Struthoff 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO is currently struggling significantly with Adventure Sync. This is mainly reported by Apple users. Especially shortly before Adventure Week, these problems are severe.

What kind of problems are there? The steps and kilometers in Adventure Sync are not being counted correctly in some cases. This means that some players may walk over 50 kilometers, but are credited with significantly fewer kilometers.

Especially for the Adventure Week, where there are extremely high rewards for 50 kilometers, a functioning Adventure Sync is important.

Adventure Sync not working – What helps?

Which players are affected? Mainly, players with Apple devices are complaining about Adventure Sync. It seems that the biggest problems exist there. However, there are also some Android players experiencing issues.

Are there solutions for this? There is no general solution to the problem. It is advised to completely uninstall and redownload Pokémon GO. This has helped some players.

Other players report that their Adventure Sync was simply turned off in the game’s settings. So also make sure that everything is activated there and cooperates with the appropriate fitness app. You can find a detailed guide for that here:

What do players say about it? Many trainers are simply disappointed about the problems. Such issues have reportedly been occurring for over 3 weeks, and there is still no reasonable solution from the developers.

One thread on Reddit has already received over 2000 upvotes, addressing exactly this issue. One user, “cak91687,” wrote: “I hope Adventure Sync is fixed before the start of Adventure Week.” and added the following image:

Under the image, hundreds of trainers agree with the thread. They report similar issues and also hope that the problems will be resolved by Adventure Week.

However, Niantic has little time until then, as the event starts this evening, June 4, at 10 PM.

This is the first gameplay of Minecraft Earth – it looks fantastic

Cortyn 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

First videos with official gameplay of “Minecraft Earth” have surfaced. Apparently, they haven’t overpromised.

When Minecraft Earth was announced a few weeks ago, there were many different opinions. There were concerns that AR games just weren’t advanced enough to run on a smartphone at a reasonable quality to create the true Minecraft feeling. Now, first videos with live gameplay have been released and should convince many players.

At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, live gameplay of Minecraft Earth was presented for the first time. The two developers can be seen building a small castle and bringing it to life.

Player interaction seems promising: What is particularly impressive is how smoothly the interaction between players works. The game recognizes in real-time where other players are on the screen, what blocks they are carrying, and what they are currently working on. This allows players to indeed work on projects together or engage in a bit of mischief.

Especially cool is that Minecraft Earth is supposed to even recognize players’ movements and transfer them to the avatars. For example, if the player waves clearly, the avatar in the game world waves as well.

Explosions and functioning devices included: The developers also show a bit of chaos and demonstrate that devices like switches, which trigger certain events, work in Minecraft Earth as well. They blow up the front yard, revealing tunnels in the process. Animals, like ducks, react just like in the “normal” version of the game, coming to players holding seed packets.

How can you join? Minecraft Earth is not yet accessible to players. However, those who wish can already register for the beta and, with a bit of luck, participate in the test this summer. We have explained how to do this here.

What do you think of these first gameplay sequences? Does it look good and interesting? Or do you find it too cumbersome?

The major June patch brings these innovations in the MMORPG Blade & Soul

Alexander Leitsch 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Asia MMORPG Blade & Soul from NCSoft is getting a major expansion in June. In addition to announced new features such as continuing the story, the update also brings a curiosity.

When does the new patch come out and what does it bring? The major update named Empyrean Shadows releases on June 19, 2019. It brings several new features.

Players can look forward to Act 10 of the story. In “Darkness Rising”, the journey into the past continues. There, you will try to find out if there is a power that can stop Mushin.

Also new is the Citadel of Madness, where you can rebel against the former prince Sobu. To be strong enough, there is a third class specialization for both the Kung Fu Master and the Blade Master.

Which new feature stands out? With the new patch, the developers focus on fishing, which was already released in Korea in January this year.

This new feature allows you to fish in certain locations with a level 60 character and make a name for yourself. To find the King of Fishermen, there will even be a ranking list in the game.

Fishing Meets Mixed Reactions

On Reddit, there is already lively discussion about the upcoming update. Particularly, fishing is in the spotlight.

What players are looking forward to: A large part of the players seems to actually be looking forward to fishing. Reddit user Darksma states that he is ready to secure the first spot in fishing. Other players want to contest that spot from him.

Many users are joining the hype in the thread. Im_lazy_as_fuck has even created a fitting meme for the new feature:

However, not everyone is completely thrilled. Some fear a strong grind, others worry about Pay2Win.

This is how fishing works: Based on previous experiences in Korea, fishing is just a small new feature that has not been monetized and is supposed to bring players gold.

After completing Act 10 of the story, you will receive a quest and at the end of it bait, which can then be repurchased for in-game currency.

However, fishing will not make you rich. User marjo1244 calculated four months ago that you can catch only about 21 Elysian Orbs, a crafting material, in nearly 2 hours.

The Future of Blade & Soul

What else is happening in Blade & Soul? Further changes are already announced for the year 2019. A new class, the Archer, will likely be released in the West in September. This class is already coming to Korea this month.

Many players are also waiting for the announced engine update, which is also expected to be released in 2019.

How is Blade & Soul doing? The start of the year 2019 did not go well for the MMORPG. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, nearly 31% of the revenue was lost. And 2018 was also not a successful year for Blade & Soul.

Blade & Soul is currently doing best in the mobile sector:

MMORPG Lost Ark introduces payment option for raids – It is controversial

Irina Moritz 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMORPG Lost Ark , there is now an option to win a raid and receive loot at the push of a button. All that is needed for this are microtransactions.

What has the developer Smilegate done? A few weeks ago, the developers of the MMORPG Lost Ark released an update that introduced a new feature to the game.

Players can now instantly complete any raid in the raid menu thanks to the “Instant” button. However, they must pay a certain amount of the microtransaction currency for this.

The developers justified these changes by stating that they want to offer newer players the option to quickly catch up with their friends and reduce the grind in the game.

How exactly does the “Instant” system work? These types of “Instant” buttons are not new in Lost Ark. Many other features of the MMORPG also have the option to reduce the grind by spending certain amounts of the microtransaction currency.

More on the topic

The hit MMORPG Lost Ark is getting bigger – while we wait for the West release

von Irina Moritz

They are blue gems that can be obtained in two different ways:

You buy them directly for real money in the cash shop
You farm a lot of gold in the game and buy the gems from another player who purchased them for real money in the cash shop

In Lost Ark, you can use these gems to immediately complete various tasks, thus saving yourself the grind. This includes daily or weekly quests.

This is how the “Instant” system works in raids: The raids in Lost Ark are divided into five different difficulty levels. The quality of the loot increases accordingly with the level.

With the new “Instant” button, all raids can now be completed at the push of a button without having to actually run them and fight the bosses. You also receive loot as usual.

Of the five levels of raids, only the last one is really interesting for endgame, as this is where you receive the best accessories for your character.

However, since the stats on the loot in Lost Ark are randomly generated, you are forced to run this raid over and over until you receive your desired items.

For each “raid attempt” at level 5, you must pay 100 blue gems to finish it instantly. The instant completion of raids is limited to once per day.

Concerns about the future of Lost Ark are high

What do players say about this? There have been many discussions on the unofficial English-speaking Discord of Lost Ark regarding this topic. While most players have no problem with levels 1 to 4 raids being purchasable, they are upset about this option for level 5 raids.

I am definitely angry about the instant completion of level 5 raids because you actually have to put effort into the raid
User Yaen from the Lost Ark Discord server

There has also frequently been the question of what the next step from Smilegate would be. What content could be purchased next?

The Russian YouTuber Sywo also commented on the new system in his video:

It is not as bad as it sounds. Most players will run the raids with their friends or groups and complete them quite quickly […] But what direction should it go? What will the next step be?

This is the first time that Lost Ark offers endgame armor for money, and just like the players on the Discord server, Sywo is “worried” about the future of the MMORPG. Most comments under his video agree with him.

The Division 2: You can now test whether the 4th specialization is really a tank – at least on PC

Tarek Zehrer 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Anyone playing The Division 2 on PC can test the upcoming specialization starting today, June 4th. The Gunner can be unlocked on the PTS.

Here’s how you can test the Gunner: The Division 2 gives players the opportunity to try out new content on Public Test Servers (PTS). Players were able to preview most of the content of Title Update 3, only the 8-player raid was not included.

When does it start? Update, 4 PM: The PTS are now online. Massive just announced this on Reddit .

Update, 4:28 PM: There seems to be issues with the PTS. Currently, you can download the new version, but a login might not be possible. Massive is already investigating the problem.

How can you play the Gunner on the PTS? You need to complete several challenges if you do not own the Year 1 Pass. This applies to both the PTS and the live servers.

The Gunner is expected to be the tank among specializations

This is the new specialization: Ubisoft describes the Gunner as “Guardian of the SHD Agents” with a focus on sustained damage and durability.

His special ability makes him tougher the more special ammunition he carries
His unique weapon is a portable minigun
He can confuse and draw out targets from cover
The Gunner gains a new grenade type, the foam grenade, which immobilizes enemies in place
You can find all information about the Gunner in our overview of the 4th specialization.

When is the specialization expected to hit the public servers? There is currently no exact date. However, it is expected to arrive later in June.

Fans are doubtful about the tank aspect but are excited about the minigun

What do fans say about the Gunner? There is still no gameplay and more detailed information about the abilities and the skill tree is missing. Nonetheless, many players are sharing their impressions on Reddit.

Most are curious whether the specialization can really be a tank.
Until now, it has been quite difficult to create a tank build in The Division 2.
One tends to die quite quickly outside of cover.

Therefore, some fans are wondering if the Gunner can truly serve as a tank. Sinoooo commented on Reddit: “This specialization could be fun if they balance it well […], but based on the current state of the game, I’m cautiously optimistic.”

However, the majority are excited about the minigun and are already sharing iconic images like this one from the film Predator in the Division 2 subreddit:

Some are already making plans to finally take revenge on the enemy tanks with miniguns. Especially the first raid boss Boomer is drawing hate, as Jaf918 makes clear: “First thought: Do you remember all the times you knocked us down, Boomer? Because I damn well remember.”

Despite the minigun, our readers are also cautious. Exat writes in the comments about the Gunner: “The thought of blasting around with such a weapon is quite tempting, but I have concerns about how they will balance it against the other weapons.” Furthermore, he wonders how the armor buff will work.

Robert Theisinger is already diligently preparing for the specialization: “I’m already collecting new gear for it for a few days and am therefore well-equipped for my new build.”

There are still open questions, but most are primarily curious.

What do you think of the specialization? What are your expectations?

Activision says: This lawsuit against Call of Duty is an assault on the constitution

Sven Galitzki 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

A lawsuit against Activision over the use of a vehicle in Call of Duty has been ongoing for several years. This lawsuit could set a precedent for the gaming and film industries. Now, there has been another exchange of sharp words from the publisher.

About this lawsuit: In 2017, the company AM General, a producer of military and civilian specialty vehicles, sued the well-known player publisher Activision.

This legal dispute is still unresolved. Just last week, there was another encounter in court.

Why is there actually a lawsuit? The reason for AM General’s lawsuit was a military vehicle from the company, which Activision used in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from 2009 – the famous Humvee (HMMWV).

According to AM General, the company’s protected trademarks were used illegally and without consultation in numerous “Call of Duty” titles as well as in toys and books.

Activision is defending itself against these allegations.

More on the topic

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare finally announced – trailer and release date

von Sven Galitzki

What is a Humvee? The Humvee is an iconic and versatile military vehicle that has been used in virtually every conflict involving US or NATO participation in the last 30 years.

The Humvee is primarily used for troop transport but can also take on light attack or support roles.

This is how Activision sees the issue: In the current exchange, Activision’s legal representatives chose particularly sharp words.

It is said, among other things, that the lawsuit against Call of Duty is nothing less than a direct attack on the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Because this is where the right to create creative works that realistically portray modern warfare stems from.

AM General, the manufacturer of the Humvee, is attempting to use trademark law to control the mere depiction of this vehicle in fictional games of the “Call of Duty” series. Restricting the content of creative works in this way is very dangerous.

However, the claims in this case are particularly outrageous, as they relate to a military vehicle funded by American taxpayers and used in nearly every significant conflict over the past three decades. As a result, the Humvees hold a cultural and historical significance.

Thus, they are a logical component of any attempt to tell an authentic story about modern warfare.

If AM General is allowed to control the use of these vehicles in entertainment media, then virtually every visual representation of 21st-century US military history would be in their “stranglehold”.

More on the topic

With Modern Warfare, Call of Duty receives a new engine after 14 years

von Sven Galitzki

This is what the Humvee producer says: AM General sees the issue completely differently. They disagree with the notion that they cannot protect their intellectual property from illegal use.

Activision has earned billions of US dollars through the use of AM General’s iconic Humvee and its distinctive appearance – including in eight games, numerous advertisements, two toys, and several strategy guides.

The publisher never had permission from AM General to do this. Activision also never sought permission. Therefore, they see the entire matter as a clear violation of the law.

Therefore, the lawsuit could be important for games and films: This legal dispute could have significant implications for the entertainment industry – and thus for the gaming industry. It remains exciting to see how the process between Activision and AM General will turn out.

Regardless of how this lawsuit ends up in court – a precedent is being set that could be groundbreaking for future lawsuits of this nature, especially in the USA.

If AM General prevails, a wave of further lawsuits from various producers and manufacturers of military equipment, weapons, and gear could follow.

This could ultimately lead to a greater reliance on fictional military equipment and war machines in games, films, or series. It could also make such games more expensive, as the costs for such licenses might be passed on to the consumer.

Why are PvE and PvP separated in MMORPGs today?

Andreas Bertits 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In the past, PvP and PvE were connected in MMORPGs. But that is no longer the case. When did these “worlds” separate and why?

What did MMORPGs look like in the past? During the early days of the genre, around the time when Meridian 59 was released in 1996 and Ultima Online in 1997, MMORPGs looked different. There was no distinction between PvP and PvE.

This meant that players could essentially meet and fight against other players all the time. Anywhere and at any time.

Ultima Online PvP — Ultima Online faced a massive problem due to open PvP.

Freedom comes at a price

Why was this the case? MMORPGs aimed to grant players as much freedom as possible and to provide a second home that opened up plenty of opportunities. Players should feel at home in an MMORPG and not be overly restricted.

This also included the ability to duel each other. There were supposed to be player-on-player raids, which made every journey a danger.

The best PvE MMOs – These online games offer strong PvE

von Andreas Bertits

This is how things got out of hand: When Ultima Online was released in 1997, it offered a fantastic world where everyone could be whatever they wanted, whether it was a fisherman, a blacksmith, a baker, or an adventurer. It was possible to get lost in this world.

However, there was no distinction between PvE and PvP. For example, someone wanting to mine ore in a dungeon to sell it to a blacksmith had to be prepared to be robbed by other players at any time.

Players exploited this, and constant attacks occurred. It became almost impossible to travel from one city to another.

PvP became a nightmare: Player Killers (PKs) took pleasure in luring especially new players into traps or attacking them repeatedly. While there were player-created militias that hunted PKs, the situation spiraled more out of control. It was nearly impossible to just have some fun exploring the world or fighting monsters in a dungeon.

The separation was necessary

What were the consequences? The constant attacks on players caused a lot of frustration for the victims. It even got to the point where fans dropped out and lost interest in continuing to play.

The development studio Origin and publisher Electronic Arts noticed this and had to pull the emergency brake. Ultima Online was meant to bring players together and be fun, not cause frustration and alienate fans. The MMORPG was on the brink of collapse. If it had continued like this, it probably would have had to shut down.

What change was introduced? Origin divided the players in 2000. Two worlds were created: Felucca and Trammel.

On Felucca, open PvP still reigned. Anyone could attack anyone.
On Trammel, however, there were strict rules. It was no longer possible to attack other players without their consent to engage in combat.

How did this affect the genre? Other developers had, of course, noticed how open PvP without real rules had pushed Ultima Online to the brink. Systems were developed to separate PvP and PvE because players should have the choice and not be constantly frustrated by Player Killers.

What does this look like today? Most MMORPGs have either zones where PvP takes place or servers designed for player-versus-player battles. A combination of PvP and PvE is rarely seen. Players consciously decide whether they want to participate in PvP. Raids by other players are then only possible on PvP servers or in PvP zones, and players can better prepare for them.

More on the topic

The best PvP MMOs – Which online games offer good PvP?

von Andreas Bertits

Was Ultima Online the first game to separate PvP and PvE? No, Everquest, released in 1999, learned from the mistakes of UO and offered players the choice between PvE and PvP servers from the start. This way, the game avoided this problem. Ultima Online thus helped to find a solution.

Open PvP is still a topic in MMORPGs today. Some players desire it, and several titles – such as Fallout 76 – offer it as well, albeit with restrictions. Generally, however, it is important for an online game to allow players to choose whether to participate in PvP, whether through special servers or PvP zones in the titles.

WoW: This Troll trick drove players to rage

Cortyn 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A buff food in World of Warcraft caused the wrath of many players. Because a PvP fan had properly trolled his teammates.

In the battlegrounds of World of Warcraft, it has become a tradition for someone to try to troll their teammates. For a long time, it was “normal” for someone to lure their allies into typing “/afk” to get kicked from the battleground. Most people know this by now.

However, trolls always find new ways to tease, annoy, or actively block their teammates, as a recent post on Reddit showed.

What happened? In a game of Alterac Valley, a player set up a large “Feast of the Fishes.” Feasts are actually large meals that all surrounding allies can click on to receive a buff. Normally, there is a bonus to certain attributes, such as stamina, intelligence, or strength.

However, there are also some feasts that only carry small fun effects, like shrinking or growing the character. And then there is the “Feast of the Fishes” that was presented to the players.

More on the topic

The meanest tricks to troll people in MMORPGs like WoW

von Cortyn

What kind of feast is this? The Feast of the Fishes looks visually like many other feasts but has a special effect. After eating, “one becomes full and gains all the attributes of a fish.” What this means for the players is not clear to most.

They actually turn into fish and helplessly flop around on land like a fish while rapidly losing health and dying. Because even in WoW, fish primarily survive in water.

Exactly that happened, leading to the following chat log documenting the mass dying among the players:

In addition to some rather amused questions about why “one is now a Magikarp,” there were, of course, many unfriendly complaints.

The buff could have been clicked away: In principle, the players could have noticed the trolling and simply clicked away the buff to cancel it. Since most did not associate the fish effect with a buff or the feast, this led to the death of a large part of the raid group and the ensuing outrage in the chat.

The consequence was likely that the respective player was reported very often by his colleagues – but it was probably worth it for him.

What do you think about this? A clear sabotage of one’s own team? Or a funny way to troll that will serve as a lesson to the players?

For months, loot in Destiny 2 has been frustrating – today it should change

Schuhmann 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, there have been many complaints in recent months that loot is too dependent on luck and nearly impossible to farm. That is supposed to change with the new season 7 today, on June 4.

This has been the situation lately: In recent months in Destiny 2, frustration has grown among many players regarding how loot is distributed. It was mostly about how to get the weapons with the perks they preferred.

Because this had changed for the worse with Season 6 in Destiny 2 starting in March 2019:

In the 1st DLC, with the forges in Season 5, players were still able to buy specific bounties to work towards certain weapons.
In the 2nd DLC, in Season 6, it was basically pure chance. Guardians had to run the Reckoning and hope that a suitable weapon would drop and that it had decent stats. The loot pool was huge.

destiny-2-abrechnung-kampf — It was difficult to pull out the loot you wanted.

This was the problem: While in the 1st DLC some players farmed specifically for a “God Roll” and spent days doing so, it was hardly possible in the 2nd DLC. The loot pool was just too large and there was almost no way to farm specifically.

This clearly took a toll on morale and ensured that the “Season of the Drifter” would be remembered as a low point in the history of Destiny 2.

With the bizarre system in the 2nd DLC, players could only farm questionable, but very stylish armor pieces specifically. Moreover, they could complete certain objectives, which gave them the chance at specific masterwork weapons. Whether they dropped was still dependent on RNG.

Destiny focuses on effort instead of luck

Here’s how Bungie wants to fix this: The key to farming items starting today, in the Menagerie, will be the “Chalice of Opulence”.

This involves improving it over time to receive more powerful rewards.

Players will earn “runes” that they insert into the chalice to tell the chalice, “I want these items.” The combinations of which runes provide which items and perks are likely set, but hidden.
Additionally, players will further upgrade and improve their chalice to access stronger items and have more choices.

This way, the Guardian will again be able to select and work towards gear.

Additionally, the player should be able to customize their chalice according to their preferences and set priorities, such as whether they want

to specify exactly which item they want
or to have additional rewards

During this process, the community will have to figure out which runes yield which items. So, a “puzzle factor” returns for the community.

This is how they want to reduce the factor of luck:
