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.

More on the topic

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

von Sven Galitzki

This is what it’s about: The main theme of Destiny 2 this time is to give players the choice and empower them to choose between different options.

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

d2-s7-kelch-eng — You will be able to upgrade the chalice in various ways by earning Imperial currency.

The idea of putting “loot in the hands” of players could bring back some frustrated Guardians who were tired of relying on luck in Reckoning.

Is there a catch? At the moment, no one knows how the system will work exactly. There is no test server for Destiny 2.

But on paper, the new system sounds interesting. We’ll now have to see if players’ decisions are really “interesting” and “equivalent”.

However, this could become an interesting new twist for Destiny 2 today.

FIFA 19: Here are the predictions for the Serie A TOTS

Julian Schröder 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The community expects that the next Team of the Season in FIFA 19 will be the Serie A TOTS. Here are the predictions.

The Serie A Team of the Season: After the teams from the Community, the Premier League, the Bundesliga and La Liga the Serie A TOTS could follow.

On Friday we will learn more. However, we now have the opportunity to make an idea with the TOTS predictions. This is how the Serie A TOTS could look.

The prediction for the Serie A TOTS

These predictions are from futbin:

Goalkeeper:

GK: Szcesny (Juventus Turin)

Defenders:

RB: Joao Cancelo (Juventus Turin)
CB: Koulibaly (Napoli)
LB: Alex Sandro (Juventus Turin)

Midfielders:

CM: Allan (Napoli)
CM: Pjanic (Juventus Turin)
LW: Insigne (Napoli)

Forwards:

CF: Gomez (Atalanta)
ST: Quagliarella (Sampdoria Genua)
ST: Zapata (Atalanta)
ST: Ronaldo (Juventus Turin)

Substitutes:

GK: Donnaruma (AC Milan)
CB: Skriniar (Inter Milan)
LB: Kolarov (AS Roma)
LW: De Paul (Udinese)
RW: Chiesa (Florence)
CF: Ilicic (Atalanta)
ST: Immobile (Lazio Rome)
GK: Handanovic (Inter Milan)
CB: Izzo (Torino)
CB: Romagnoli (AC Milan)
ST: Milik (Napoli)
ST: Piatek (AC Milan)

When is the release? Whether the Serie A TOTS will be released this week on June 7 is not officially known yet. However, we consider this likely.

Once the team appears, the cards will be available in packs for one week.

What are TOTS cards? During the TOTS event (Team of the Season) new teams of the season with greatly improved special cards are released every Friday.

Example based on the current Ibrahimovic TOTS card

The new TOTS values are really strong, with upgrades of 6-10 points in overall rating not being uncommon.

TOTS cards are rare and expensive

You basically have the option to draw TOTS cards from various packs.

You can get TOTS cards from these packs:

Gold Pack (5,000 coins)
Premium Gold Pack (7,500 coins)
or from other special and promo packs

It is very unlikely to pull a good TOTS card in packs. Therefore, one should not invest too many coins in packs.

On the transfer market: It is wiser to use the transfer market. Here you can specifically search for TOTS cards. However, prices, especially for new cards, are usually quite high.

Waiting a bit can certainly be worthwhile, as during the course of the event, even TOTS cards drop significantly in price.

These are the best buddy Pokémon for Adventure Week in Pokémon GO

Noah Struthoff 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO is coming and the distance needed for your buddy Pokémon will also be reduced. We will tell you which Pokémon are worth it.

What bonus does the event bring? During the Adventure Week you only have to cover a quarter of the distance with your buddy for it to find a candy.

It is worth it, which raises the question of which buddy to choose. We will give you some Pokémon to choose from.

How many kilometers do you have to walk? There are a total of 4 different stages of buddy Pokémon. Each stage is significantly reduced. You need to walk the following distances:

Instead of 1 kilometer, only 250 meters
Instead of 3 kilometers, only 750 meters
Instead of 5 kilometers, only 1.25 kilometers
Instead of 20 kilometers, only 5 kilometers

The best buddy Pokémon

Kaumalat Family: Kaumalat and its evolutions are probably the best Pokémon you can have as a buddy. Kaumalat is currently extremely rare, making every additional candy worthwhile.

That’s why you should catch every Kaumalat in Pokémon GO – Here’s how to find it

von Noah Struthoff

Additionally, the final evolution Knakrack is one of the best Pokémon in the game. So, it’s worth having enough candies to power up one to max level.

Koknodon Family: Besides Kaumalat, Koknodon is currently the Pokémon of the hour. It has also only been in the game since Generation 4 and only a few players have enough candies for Koknodon.

Moreover, the evolution Rameidon is the best rock-type Pokémon in the game. It’s definitely beneficial if you have several Rameidon at max level.

Riolu: The baby Pokémon of Lucario is especially a good choice if you haven’t evolved it yet and need the candies. Riolu is extremely rare in eggs, which is why many lack the necessary candies.

If you already have Lucario, then Riolu is not particularly recommended as a buddy because Lucario is not among the strongest Pokémon in the game. The exception is in PvP, where Lucario is a good alternative.

Legendary Pokémon: Normally, you have to walk 20 kilometers with a legendary Pokémon for just one candy. However, during the event, it’s only 5 kilometers. Therefore, it’s worthwhile to focus on the legendaries.

We will give you a selection of legendary Pokémon that we consider to be the most useful:

Rayquaza
Giratina (Origin Form)
Kyogre
Groudon
Mewtwo
Raikou

Meltan: For all players who haven’t been able to open a mystery box yet, Meltan may also be interesting. After all, it takes 400 candies to evolve, which means walking many kilometers.

Normally, you also have to walk 20 kilometers with Meltan, but thanks to the event, it’s only 5 kilometers.

Pokémon for Beginners: If you’ve just started with Pokémon GO, you can also opt for Pokémon that are very useful in the game and should not be missing from any battle team. However, use these buddies only if you don’t already have enough candies and specimens:

Larvitar
Machop
Chansey
Tanhel

1-km Buddies: Pokémon like Pidgey, Hornliu, or Pikachu only need 250 meters during the event for a candy. It’s worth it since there are quests where you need to collect buddy candies.

Pokémon GO Taubsi — Pidgey is also not a bad buddy – It helps with field research.

There are also current field research where you can encounter a Bummelz for 5 buddy candies. A good Bummelz for the Community Day is definitely useful.

Additionally, data miner Chrales already leaked possible quests for the event. You are supposed to earn candies with your buddy there as well. It would be highly beneficial to have a buddy that quickly earns candies.

Which buddy are you using for the event?

Finally get a flashlight in The Division 2

Tarek Zehrer 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Division 2 has apparently fulfilled a major fan wish and integrated a flashlight into the game. Or at least something similar. Here’s how you get it.

What’s the deal with the flashlight? Ever since the release of The Division 2 there has been a community wish for a flashlight. Because nights in Washington D.C. can be very dark. There are also numerous corners that are so dark that you can’t see anything at all. It is often difficult to recognize items or enemies.

Therefore, fans have repeatedly expressed the desire for a flashlight or a night vision device. Developer Massive has now at least partially fulfilled this wish.

You can now find a flashlight in the game, but it is not a gadget; it is part of a very special backpack trophy. We’ll show you how to get the trophy and what makes it special.

A dangling cat light

This is the trophy: The backpack trophy is a cat holding a flashlight in its mouth. But that alone does not make the trophy special.

It is rather the lighting effect that makes the entire backpack trophy glow white. So players have at least partially received their flashlight.

Whether the developers intended for the entire trophy to shine so brightly is currently unknown.

With this trophy, it seems like the sun is literally coming out of your backside. Source: Reddit

Here’s how to get it: What is certain is that you can get the trophy in the story mission “Lincoln Memorial”. However, this is not guaranteed and only occurs under certain circumstances, as players have discovered.

In the mission, there is already a backpack trophy (the Lincoln bust), which can be found at a Lincoln statue. Apparently, the cat flashlight can be found right nearby.

Reports on Reddit about this are contradictory, as not everyone gets the trophy immediately.
Some players find it directly with their main character
Others had to replay the mission with a new character to get it.
Some speculate that you only get the trophy if you have already found the Lincoln bust.

So it is certain that you need to play the Lincoln Memorial mission up to the Lincoln bust to reach the find location.

You can also check this out here in the video by Rakunvar. He was probably one of the first players to discover this trophy.

What do fans say about it? In the subreddit for The Division 2, players are reacting enthusiastically.

But there is uncertainty about the circumstances under which one can obtain the lamp. Some are trying it with new characters, while others repeatedly run the mission with their main characters.

In this context, user chinmi writes:

I don’t have the [Lincoln] bust yet.
So I went in with my main character. Normal [difficulty level]. Got the bust.
Went in again with the main character. Normal. No lamp.
Went in again with a second character. Normal. Got the lamp.
I wonder why you can’t get it with the main character. Maybe it has to do with the 24-hour lock?
Chinmi, Reddit

Several players, such as Scorpion1869, confirm that you can also find the trophy with your main character: “Just got it on my main character. I never got the Lincoln bust. […]”

Until the community figures this out exactly or Massive says something about it, the exact way remains unclear.

As soon as we know exactly how to get the trophy, we will update the article.

This is not the first strange story surrounding a backpack trophy. Last time, the reactions were not so positive:

The current league in Path of Exile ends – Player: “Finally it is over”

Andreas Bertits 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The current Synthesis league in Path of Exile is coming to an end. Players are not mourning it, as it is considered one of the worst leagues so far.

What kind of league was it? In the current Synthesis league, players encounter a Canvas and must find fragments of their lost memory.

This takes place like in a dungeon. You build connections to rooms where challenges await you. If you master these, you unlock a memory. However, you must act quickly, as the connections break down again.

As a reward, items and recipes await.

When does the league end? The end is planned for today, June 4.

The worst league so far?

How is the league perceived? The league is currently regarded as the worst in the community. The developers are aware of this. They have stated that everything happened very quickly this time, leaving little time for extensive testing.

What are the problems of the league? The league is plagued by several issues for many in the community. These include:

The mechanics: Building connections and fighting through the dungeon suffers from balancing issues. The connections break down too quickly, leading to too much chaos. You essentially build the connections for hours, and as soon as you’re ready to start, they break down quickly, and everything is lost.
Rewards: The rewards are not well received. Many find the items useless, and the truly cool recipes are found too rarely.
Bosses: Bosses spawn too rarely and cannot compare to previous bosses. There are too few rewards, and the fights are apparently boring.
Challenges: The challenges feel thoughtless.

What do players say? Many complaints have been made about the league, and most are glad when it is over.

Johny_Snoo states in the official forum: “It is horrific. The Memory Nexus is something I would prefer to forget.”

This comment is from March, and since then, a few things have improved in the league. Nonetheless, it is not among the community’s favorites.

There are players who do not view it as critically. The league has its problems, and there have been significantly better ones. However, for some, it is not entirely bad.

Everything is set to improve

Developers vow to improve: Grinding Gear Games founder Chris Wilson acknowledges the issues. He explains that the league does not meet the quality standards his team has for Path of Exile. Therefore, they now want to take more time for future content to develop it well and test it thoroughly.

With the next league “Legion”, starting on June 7, a “repeatable fun” is planned. Additionally, more updates are already in the works.

The fans of PoE expect a lot from the team. However, to achieve that, the developers need more time. Because Chris Wilson does not want to put his team through crunch.

This skin in Fortnite costs 300€ and you get a purple Xbox One with it

Jürgen Horn 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Who Fortnite: Battle Royale on Xbox One loves, can soon get a new console in Fortnite design. Just before the 2019 E3 and the expected next-gen reveal, Microsoft wants to offer a special version of the Xbox One S bundled with Fortnite goodies.

What does the Fortnite Xbox look like? The Fortnite bundle from Microsoft includes an Xbox One S with 1 terabyte of internal storage in a purple design. It appears to still be a model of the console with a physical drive.

In addition, you will receive a wireless controller in the same purple color scheme as well as a bunch of Fortnite stuff.

fortnite-lila-xbox — For those who like the colors purple and violet, this is probably their dream console.

Xbox console with exclusive skins

Which skins are in the package? Fortnite: Battle Royale is already pre-installed on the console. The PvE mode Save the World is not included and must be purchased separately if desired.

You will also receive a Dark Vertex skin pack with a special glider and pickaxe. This is a purple reskin of the already known Vertex outfit, which will probably only be exclusive to this Xbox bundle. Those who collect Fortnite skins (and Xbox editions) can complete their collection here.

2,000 V-Bucks for the cash shop (about 20 euros) and one month free membership for the services Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass are also included.

How much does it cost? The Fortnite Xbox costs 299 euros and will be available from June 7, 2019 via the Microsoft page. This is just before the big E3 trade fair in Los Angeles.

By the way, during the Microsoft press conference on June 9, 2019 at 10:00 PM, the next generation of the Xbox console from Microsoft is rumored to be introduced. Therefore, there are likely to be discounts on the old console in the Xbox store.

Will you be getting an old Xbox One S in Fortnite design or are you more interested in the rumored new next-gen console from Microsoft?

PixArk: The Minecraft-ARK is here – But players say it’s too early

Andreas Bertits 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

With PixArk, Snail Games USA has released a mix of Minecraft and the survival game ARK. However, according to many players, it is clearly too early.

What is PixArk? PixArk essentially wants to mix Minecraft with ARK. You find yourself in a world populated by dinos and other creatures. Your task is to survive, tame the creatures, and build a fortress. You can also customize your hero.

The world is based on blocks like in Minecraft and can be completely altered. There is even a creative mode where you can let your imagination run wild while building.

Team play is important, as you have better chances together and can build fortresses faster. However, it is also possible to be on your own.

On which platforms is PixArk available? The game is available for PC, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

That’s why PC players should wait to buy: PixArk is said to be offered at a discount during the Steam Summer Sale. The sale starts on June 25. If you want to save some money, get PixArk in the Steam Summer Sale.

A release far too early

How is the game being received so far? The release took place on May 31. Accordingly, there are already some opinions about the game. However, these are not particularly positive.

The game’s rating in the Microsoft Store is (as of June 4) only 2.9 out of 5 points. There is a consensus that PixArk was released far too early. There are plenty of technical issues, including bugs but also crashes or the game does not start at all.

Furthermore, many players are having issues with the controls and the menu navigation and are calling for these two aspects to be fundamentally revised.

FireLionHead comments in the Microsoft Store: “It is an interesting game and it is fun. However, it is unfortunately almost unplayable.”

For fairness, we mention that these are reviews from the early access phase. However, if we look at the newer ratings on Steam, not much has changed.

Link to the YouTube content

The current rating on Steam is 54 percent and the reviews from late May, early June reflect those of the Microsoft Store.

Steam user ChipsterNova was apparently already part of the early access phase and says: “Still totally bugged. Even after a year.”

What do the positive voices say? Basically, players see the potential of PixArk. Compared to ARK, it should be more coherent and run better. The game mechanics with free building and survival are also well received. Again and again, one reads that it is basically a really good game that is currently plagued too much by bugs and technical problems. The developers need to significantly improve in these areas.

Huge MMO company for sale – A MMO giant could emerge

Schuhmann 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Nexon is the largest MMO company in South Korea and is up for sale. The market leader could remain in Korean hands. According to the latest reports, one of the bidders for Nexon is the No. 2 in the South Korean market, Netmarble. They could become gigantic with the purchase.

What is for sale? The shares of Kim Jung-ju and his wife in the NXC Corp. are for sale. This is the parent company behind the Korean market leader in gaming, Nexon (Maple Story, Vindictus, Dungeon Fighter Online).

The shares amount to 98.64% and are worth about 11 billion US dollars.

After all, Nexon owns “Dungeon Fighter Online,” one of the most successful PC games in the world:

More on the topic

von Andreas Bertits

Why is it being sold? Kim Jung-ju reportedly wants to retire from business because he is tired of the growing regulations.

Recently, he was involved in a corruption scandal in which he allegedly bribed a childhood friend who then became a prosecutor.

Moreover, he does not plan to pass the company on to his children, as previous statements suggest.

Nexon-Bestechung — Kim Jung-ju, he allegedly wants to sell his huge shares

Who has been in talks for Nexon? In recent months, there have been numerous rumors about who might snap up Nexon:

Electronic Arts has been mentioned as a potential bidder
China giant Tencent was believed to be capable of swallowing Nexon
Amazon was in speculation
Allegedly, Kim Jung-ju himself wished for Disney as a buyer. However, the company with the mouse reportedly declined.

However, none of these four corporations has apparently bid, according to the latest information.

In Korea, it was thought that Nexon should stay “in the country”.

Who has submitted bids? According to a news agency, there have been 5 bids, that has been learned from sources:

Netmarble, the Korean mobile expert, and No. 2 in South Korea
Kakao, which long stood behind the MMORPG Black Desert and distributes a well-known messenger app
and 3 “Private Equity” firms: KKR & Co, Bain Capital, and MBK Partners. The investment funds have been on the radar for some time. MBK Partners are based in South Korea, the other two are US funds.

These are the 5 initial candidates that Reuters identified as potential buyers on February 21.

Tencent, which does not bid directly, holds shares in Netmarble (17.7%) and Kakao (6.7%).

The auction was reportedly concluded on May 31. All 5 potential bidders refused to comment.

lineage-2-revolution-Conan-O-Brien-Werbung — Netmarble is behind Lineage2Revolution.

What does this mean? Should Netmarble or Kakao win the bid, a gigantic player would emerge overnight, which likely also has ambitions in the West.

Netmarble is the big winner in South Korea in recent years with a full war chest from mobile hits. If they manage to swallow such a massive entity, it could set off significant changes. Despite this, the biggest mobile hits from Asia have struggled in the West so far.

For Kakao, which comes more from the tech side than from gaming, the acquisition of Nexon would surely be interesting. A purchase would surely change the market dynamics.

Dead by Daylight is getting a “Battle Pass” – But what does that mean?

Cortyn 4. June 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Dead by Daylight, you will soon be able to spend money on a “Battle Pass”. We reveal what that means and how it could change the game.

Even before the celebrations for the 3rd anniversary of Dead by Daylight, there were some leaks seen on Reddit. Fans had already discovered that there could soon be a type of “Battle Pass” in Dead by Daylight. This has now been confirmed. We reveal what the developers had in mind and how it will work in Dead by Daylight.

What is a Battle Pass? Battle Passes are typically used in free-to-play games, such as Fortnite. Players can purchase an unlock, usually for real money, that rewards different actions. These are essentially new missions and quests in the game that are rewarded with prizes.

How does the Battle Pass work in Dead by Daylight? In one of the upcoming patches (likely in the fall), Dead by Daylight will introduce the feature of the Archives. This includes story and quests that reveal more about the lore of certain characters. At the same time, a “Rift” will open up with these quests, which will only be active for a few months. In this Rift, players will find two different paths – one free and one paid.

The paths contain various tasks that can be completed in the game. These include missions for killers and survivors, which are usually linked to the current story of the Archives. Those who progress along the paths will unlock new cosmetic items for killers and survivors.

Some of these cosmetic items are available on the “free” path. However, those who want all the cosmetics will have to purchase the Battle Pass and can then also obtain the items from the second path.

Is Dead by Daylight then Pay2Win? There were already concerns that Dead by Daylight might become “Pay2Win” with new mechanics, if special content could only be unlocked through a Battle Pass. However, this is unlikely. There are only cosmetic items and these are typically rather bright and conspicuous, so they do not aid in stealth.

In general, Dead by Daylight is rather successful with its cosmetic items using the “Pay 2 Lose” model.

How much does this Battle Pass cost? There is still no information on the price. After all, this feature is likely not to go live until November, along with the Archives.

How are players reacting to this? The fans’ opinions are currently mixed. Some think it’s good to see more cosmetic items enter Dead by Daylight in this manner. Others believe that a “Battle Pass” should only be used for free-to-play games. After all, players have already paid for Dead by Daylight and its DLCs.

The majority in the DbD subreddit wants to wait and see how much such a pass will cost. As long as it’s only cosmetic items, one can simply choose to opt out.

What do you think about Dead by Daylight now also getting a “Battle Pass”? Is it a good thing or does it not belong in the game?

The new trailer reveals about the upcoming raid of Destiny 2

Sven Galitzki 4. June 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

With a new trailer, Destiny 2 prepares fans for the upcoming raid “Crown of Sorrow.” We examined the video closely and show you what to expect.

This trailer is about: Shortly after the start of the new Season of Opulence on June 4, the new raid “Crown of Sorrow” will kick off a few hours later – on June 5 at 1 AM our time.

In this context, Bungie has released a short video that gives a first impression of what guardians can expect in the new raid.

Here you can watch the trailer:

Link to the YouTube content

What’s in the trailer for the new raid of Season 7

The trailer confirms some previous assumptions but also reveals new details about “Crown of Sorrow.”

The setting: It has been speculated that the new raid will likely take place on the Leviathan, the massive ship of Emperor Calus, and this is now confirmed.

Not only does the trailer show the interior of the gigantic world-devouring ship, which is apparently haunted by the Hive, but the video description also provides further insight into the setting.

It states, among other things: “Deep inside the Leviathan, an Ascendant Relic of the Hive has driven one of Calus’ loyalists mad.”

The trailer itself mentions that the Leviathan has been infested by the Hive and that the Cabal Emperor Calus is once again calling upon the guardians to solve the problem. A victory is promised to be richly rewarded.

The enemies: Here, the Hive is clearly the enemy. Various units – from Thralls to Knights to massive Ogres – are seen in the trailer.

However, nothing is revealed yet about the final boss. Fans are still divided on this. While some suspect that they might face a Cabal leader or a Hive boss, some players have a different theory.

Calus might be breeding a Cabal-Hive hybrid based on the new lore snippets recently released by Bungie, which we might meet at the end of the new raid.

New gear: A lot of new gear is shown as well. Some items are likely to be the new raid sets and raid weapons.

Because the sets have never been seen before, and some weapons are covered with striking Hive runes, indicating a connection to the Hive raid.

However, there are also armor pieces in the clip that strongly resemble Iron Banner armor from the early years of Destiny 1 or might originate from the Menagerie.

Additionally, some fans hope for a new MG archetype. For instance, a machine gun is shown that fires slower than the currently common models in Destiny 2. Guardians speculate that this might be the first MG with an aggressive frame.

A new mechanic? What many fans have noticed: In the new trailer, guardians are shown dying or already dead (floating ghost). This is a novelty.

The fact that this aspect now significantly comes to the forefront in this trailer raises several questions. Is the raid so difficult that Bungie is hinting at this beforehand? Or is death possibly going to be a part of the new raid?

Some fans suspect that players might have to “sacrifice” team members to master certain passages of the raid. They point out that crystals can be seen in the trailer, which also occur in the strike Savathun’s Song. The Hive used these crystals to store the light of the guardians that was previously taken from them.

Some argue that this would make flawless raids impossible. However, if it happens within the mechanics of the raid, it could still count, say other guardians. Or the raid may not even allow for Flawless Runs.

Have you noticed any more cool details in the raid trailer? What do you think about the final boss of the raid? Let us know in the comments.

In FIFA 19, a SBC distributes weak rewards instead of strong TOTS cards

Julian Schröder 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Instead of strong TOTS cards, players received almost exclusively weak gold cards in a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) in FIFA 19. EA has now promised a solution.

What happened? EA released a Squad Building Challenge for the Team of the Season of the Turkish first league on Sunday. Completing this SBC promises a TOTS card from the Süper Lig as a reward.

The problem: Many players completed the SBC and did not receive a TOTS card.

A truly incomprehensible bug, as there have been several such SBCs for the other Teams of the Season in recent weeks. Players always received the correct rewards with no problems.

SBCs – Squad Building Challenges are tasks that allow you to unlock cards or packs as rewards in FIFA 19. To complete an SBC, it is necessary to submit one or more teams made up of cards. The requirements for the teams to be submitted can vary widely.

Fans on reddit joke about the rewards

That was the problem: Most players could not enjoy completing the SBC. Instead of the promised TOTS card, players received a completely random FUT card. Since TOTS cards are endgame cards, the actual rewards were usually much weaker.

Users are discussing on reddit and having fun about their rewards:

For example, kevlar96 writes, who received an unpopular card among FIFA fans: “I just can’t escape Kagawa lol.”

Reddit user dylanm297 is particularly upset, as he pulled the regular version of Ousmane Dembele, even though he is currently available as an extremely strong TOTS version in the La Liga TOTS: “I got the regular Dembele. Not the TOTS Dembele. 84-rated Dembele, what a joke.”

Whether this FUT player will receive the TOTS Dembele retroactively from EA is questionable.

Most players take it with humor; for example, europe050 wonders: “I’m surprised no one has pulled a jersey from this SBC yet.”

This is how EA responded: After several hours, EA became aware of the error and quickly removed the SBC from the game. They spoke up on Twitter and promised to inform fans about a solution as soon as one exists.

The SBC is back online

This is the current status of the SBC: The SBC is now back online, and all players who should not have pulled a TOTS card have received the corresponding pack from EA again.

This time, however, a TOTS player from the Süper Lig is supposed to come out.

Get ready for these 4 legendary raid hours in Pokémon GO in June

Noah Struthoff 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, there are 4 raid events waiting for you in June! You can fight the legendary Pokémon Kyogre and Cresselia during special raid weeks.

What kind of events are these? This type of events is already known. Starting with the legendary lunch break, this type of event has now turned into a raid hour for the evening.

In June, there will be such an event every Wednesday. You will then have the chance for increased 5-star raids for one hour each time.

Raid Hours in June – Times, Pokémon, and Bonuses

When do the raid hours start? It starts this Wednesday. Then you will have the chance to participate in such an event every week. The events run from 6 PM to 7 PM each time.

June 5: Legendary Raid Hour with Cresselia
June 12: Legendary Raid Hour with Cresselia
June 19: Legendary Raid Hour with Kyogre
June 26: Legendary Raid Hour with Kyogre

What raids are available in the event? During the raid hours, legendary raids will appear more frequently. At exactly 6 PM, a legendary raid boss will hatch in all gyms, as long as the gym is not hosting an EX raid that week or another raid boss is already present in the gym.

Are the raid bosses worth it? Cresselia is only useful because of its shiny form. Regardless, it is not one of the best attackers and has rather poor stats.

On the other hand, Kyogre is significantly more useful. It can be shiny and is the best water attacker in the game. So it is worth having some strong Kyogre on your team.

How does this event come about? Niantic repeatedly emphasizes that this event will be tailored to the wishes of the community. The legendary lunch break was not very well received because many players had to work during that time.

After that, they moved these raid hours to the evening and received significantly more support. This now means that they will host the raid hour in June every week.

From Tuesday evening, the adventure week in Pokémon GO is also running:

Leak: In Watch Dogs 3 you play every NPC in London after Brexit

Micha Deckert 4. June 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Shortly before E3, a purported leak from Amazon revealed possible details about a new installment in the Watch Dogs series. Watch Dogs Legion allegedly takes place in a dystopian London after Brexit, and players will be able to take on the role of any NPC.

What is it about? Several US sites are reporting today on an alleged leak regarding the next Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. This is said to disclose the name, the setting, and one of the core features.

The next Watch Dogs is rumored to be titled Legion and set in a dystopian London in the not-so-distant future. Brexit has changed society and politics.

What are the features? The supposed description of the game reads:

Watch_Dogs Legion takes place in a dystopian version of London in the near future. It is a world after Brexit, where society, politics, and technology have altered the fate of London. London is one of the most iconic cities in the world and has massively influenced western culture for centuries. London makes perfect sense for WD, as the city has one of the highest levels of surveillance in the world, making it the perfect playground.

The core feature listed is that players can play as absolutely any NPC they encounter in the open world. Each person is said to have different animations, voice-over capabilities, character traits, and visual elements generated and controlled by gameplay systems.

How credible is this? The leak is said to have originated from Amazon.uk. The website TheNerdMag has made corresponding screenshots of the entry.

Moreover, gaming journalist Jason Schreier confirmed that he has also heard the name Watch Dogs Legion and the information about the possible features. He states that the possibility of playing as absolutely any NPC is so ambitious that it has caused some headaches for the developers. Furthermore, this feature is said to have led to at least one delay.
