Fortnite: Fortbyte #41 – Emoticon Tomato Head in Durr Burger Use

In Fortnite: Battle Royale Fortbyte number 41 is now available for everyone. This time you need to play around with the emoji Tomatohead at the Durrr Burger. Find out here where the burger joint is and how to get the emoji.

Where is the Fortbyte? Those who want to find Fortbyte #41 in Fortnite need to use the emoji “Tomatohead” in a Durrr Burger restaurant.

The Fortbyte is located behind the counter in the kitchen by the fries fryers.

The corresponding restaurant can be found in Neo Tilted. There, head directly into the center of the city, the restaurant is located on the map below the letters “T” and “I” of Tilted.

fortnite-fortbyte-41-map

How to collect the Fortbyte: Again, you cannot simply collect the Fortbyte. It floats around unaffected and you cannot interact with it.

The solution to the puzzle is the aforementioned emoji “Tomatohead”. You need to perform it before the Fortbyte. After that, it will activate and you can collect it.

The emoji Tomatohead is easy to obtain. It is available from level 3 of the Battle Pass of Season 9. However, only if you have purchased the pass. The emoji is, by the way, a reference to the legendary Tomatohead skin.

As always, you should also be careful this time when collecting the Fortbyte. Because while you are looking for the emoji in the emote wheel, you might be distracted and quickly become a victim of “Fortbyte snipers”, who particularly like to kill people who are searching for Bytes.

Is there a video as well? Various YouTubers have already shown videos where Fortbyte #41 is well visible. One of them is embedded here. Enjoy!

Asmongold is the first to master a dungeon in WoW Classic that is actually too difficult

The world’s biggest WoW streamer Asmongold has been showcasing the beta of WoW Classic since its launch. He constantly faces challenges and completes dungeons. Now he has mastered one of the currently hardest available dungeons – with some difficulties.

This dungeon is about: Asmongold has taken on the Scarlet Halls, an instance in the dungeon hub of the Scarlet Monastery. The instance is intended for level 33-40 and is currently one of the hardest achievable instances in the WoW Classic beta.

In the instance, enemies are between level 35 and 37. The final boss of the instance is the scarlet champion Herod.

The instance is a highlight for Asmongold’s stream. Over 73,000 people watched, almost as many as during his run through the famous Deadmines.

Scarlet Monastery WoW Classic Gamepedia
The loading screen of the monastery. Image source: gamepedia.

Why is the dungeon actually too hard? The dungeon should not be attempted below level 33, as the enemies are quite strong and have significantly higher levels. This allows them to resist abilities and dodge attacks more easily.

The maximum level that can currently be reached in the WoW Classic beta is level 30. The gear that players can obtain is therefore limited and below the recommended gear for the armory.

Asmongold’s group therefore needed almost two hours on his livestream for the passage. In the process, some gear even broke since Asmongold, as a tank, took a lot of damage. Below we have embedded a slightly edited video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44BlKx7N1pE

This is how Asmongold managed the armory anyway

How was the group structured? To conquer the dungeon, Asmongold sought the best players he could find. His group consisted of:

  • Asmongold himself, a warrior with tank talents
  • A hunter
  • A warlock
  • A retribution paladin
  • A priest healer

In Classic, the specializations are not predetermined, allowing players to choose the talents that are useful for the instance. Especially the paladin with his blessings and lay on hands and the warlock with health and soul stones helped them frequently.

WoW Classic Warlock Talents
The talent tree of a warlock in Classic.

These tricks did Asmongold use: To conquer the instance, Asmongold employed tactics and even used a trick in between:

  • Through the warlock’s “Fear”, they kept an enemy in groups always in check
  • Asmongold used only certain abilities of his warrior that could best manage rage
  • In the middle of the dungeon, they sent the hunter to the city to fetch bread, water, and ammunition
  • Through the warlock’s summoning, they could bring the hunter back, which also works in instances during the beta

The final boss Herod was approached by the group with a lengthy tactical discussion, in which they thoroughly reviewed each ability. The fight itself then lasted about 15 minutes.

Fortnite: FaZe Banks tells how he recruited Tfue – faces heavy criticism

Currently, there is a legal dispute between the Twitch streamer Tfue and his clan FaZe in Fortnite . The clan leader, Banks, shared in a YouTube video how he recruited Tfue. He apparently acted as a friend and benefactor for the young players.

Many are asking this question: By now, the contract that Tfue supposedly signed in April 2018 has been leaked.

Many are wondering: How could the current Twitch star Tfue (21) sign a contract that is so unfavorable for him that he now wants to get out with all his might and even takes it to court.

Under what circumstances did the signature come about?

That was the moment when Tfue signed the contract

This is what Banks says: In a YouTube video that has already garnered 7 million views, FaZe clan leader Ricky “Banks” Banks explains how he recruited Tfue back then.

Banks (27) is himself a successful YouTuber with over 5.3 million followers. He has made a name for himself as a player of Call of Duty and CS:GO.

On YouTube, Banks talks about the weekend when Tfue signed the contract. That would have been in late April 2018. Back then, Tfue was only 20 and still a relatively small presence on Twitch.

Banks discovered him on Twitch the week before, decided to recruit him, and recommended him to his Fortnite captain for inclusion in the team after a spot opened up in the clan.

Back then, Tfue was flown in along with the rest of the Fortnite FaZe team, including team captain Dennis “Cloak” Lepore, Tfue’s later duo partner. The guys didn’t have a proper setup for their PCs at that time, the FaZe leader says.

Therefore, Banks took the 4 Fortnite players into a Best Buy and bought the equipment with his personal money so that they could play properly in the office.

Banks spent about $4000 from his bank account for:

  • Mice
  • Keyboards
  • Monitors
  • Other stuff
Fortnite-Tfue-Faze
Tfue (left) and Banks (right) – Banks sees himself as a mentor and supporter for Tfue.

At that time, Tfue had already given a verbal agreement to join the FaZe clan.

Therefore, Banks had already prepared the contract and Tfue willingly and joyfully signed it.

This is now exactly the contract against which Tfue is fighting so vigorously.

Friend ends – CEO begins

This is the criticism of the video: It is precisely this point that Devin Nash, the former CEO of the eSports organization Counter Logic Gaming, criticizes. He had essentially the same job that Banks has now at FaZe.

Nash says the video shows exactly the point where the “bro and friend” stuff ends and the CEO comes to the fore.

The contract was prepared so that Tfue could sign it right away.

Banks is not the “friend”, but a businessman who would have paid the $4000 of his own money with the intention of recruiting a talented player.

Nash sharply criticizes these business practices.

New teaser for Wizards Unite shows a favorite from the 1st Harry Potter

A new teaser for Wizards Unite is here. There we see the three-headed dog Fluffy, who caused exciting scenes in the first part of Harry Potter.

What do you see in the teaser? As you are already used to from Wizards Unite, the teaser is relatively short and without much sound. The three-headed dog is seen causing chaos near a stadium.

Additionally, we only see Fluffy being stamped as a magical creature. What role we play as wizards is still unclear.

Recently, a teaser featuring Death Eaters was released. This raised the suspicion that Voldemort will also play a role in the game.

Where do you know Fluffy from? The three-headed dog played a role in the first part of Harry Potter. There, Fluffy guarded a trapdoor that led to the Philosopher’s Stone. Harry and his friends were afraid of him, but Hagrid always insisted that Fluffy was a friendly dog.

What role could Fluffy play? It can be assumed that the dog will be a magical encounter in the game. You have to send Fluffy back to the wizarding world, just like many other creatures. You should help keep the secrets of the wizarding world.

What do fans say about the teaser? The mood in the comments about the teaser is good. Fans are eager to play, and not just in Australia and New Zealand.

Fluffy is also well-received. There are many comments expressing joy about the magical creature.

Almost 2 million players died at the most dangerous enemy in Fallout 76

The “Wild Appalachia” update of Fallout 76 is complete, marking the first part of the major roadmap for 2019. To celebrate this milestone, Bethesda released some interesting statistics about the game – for example, regarding player deaths.

What kind of opponent is this? This is the Imposter Sheepsquatch introduced in Patch 8, a modified Aggressotron, which now believes itself to be a cryptid and terrorizes players.

It appears when you have completed the corresponding new quest and are participating in the associated event, which you can then initiate. So far, the Sheepsquatch has already killed 1,967,657 players in less than two months.

The Imposter Sheepsquatch is currently the most dangerous boss in the game, even more dangerous than the Queen of the Blightbeasts. Bethesda also released some other interesting numbers.

How Wild Appalachia Went

At the conclusion of the “Wild Appalachia” update, there are still some interesting data that Bethesda has collected over time about Fallout 76:

However, there were no figures regarding the new PvP mode “Survival”, which also came with Wild Appalachia.

Fallout 76 Legendary Vendor
The legendary vendor was extremely popular.

What Happens Next

After “Wild Appalachia” is over, Bethesda mentioned once again what will happen with Fallout 76 moving forward. The next update on the roadmap for 2019 is “Nuclear Winter”.

The “Nuclear Winter” update is expected to bring a new game mode, but nothing is known about it yet. Additionally, Vaults 94 and 96 will be opened to serve as raids for players. They could be even bigger and harder than the new laboratory dungeon.

Later in the year, after Nuclear Winter, “Wastelanders” is also expected to be released, along with new events, features, and a new main story. More information will be provided by Bethesda at the upcoming E3 press conference:

Blizzard slaughters small players with famous bosses in the 1st stress test of WoW Classic

The developers of WoW Classic had some fun during the first beta stress test. Veterans from the original beta tests of Vanilla might remember similar scenes.

During the first stress tests for the WoW Classic beta, thousands of players were able to test the servers for their stability. As many of the invited players as possible were expected to log in so that Blizzard could collect data. In the first hours, from 1 to 3 a.m. for us, the developers accompanied the test live – and created some highlights.

These bosses appeared: During the time when the developers accompanied the test, several of the most famous bosses appeared at the Abbey of Northshire. Among them were:

  • C’thun, the final boss of the Ahn’Qiraj raid (hour 2:33:42)
  • Onyxia, one of the most famous dragons of World of Warcraft (hour 2:41:28)
  • Patchwerk, an iconic monstrosity from the last Classic raid Naxxramas (hour 2:43:20)
  • Ragnaros, the Firelord himself with servants (hour 3:01:40)

With similar summons, the developers also ended the Classic beta 15 years ago. There, some bosses were summoned in the capitals to cause chaos.

An entire video of the event from wowhead is embedded below for you.

What did the bosses do? C’thun was the first to appear and began to slaughter players directly, whose maximum level in the test was limited to 5.

Shortly thereafter, Onyxia appeared, also causing death and destruction. However, she was fought by Patchwerk, created by the developers for this battle.

Finally, towards the end of the hours, Ragnaros, the Lord of the Molten Core, appeared with a Molten Giant, sending players to the afterlife one after another.

Further highlights of the stress test

This is how the developers trolled: In the test, there was an NPC named Omar, a giant paladin with several servants: Layering, Phasing, and Sharding. These are allusions to Omar Gonzalez, whom WoW Classic owes to according to Blizzard head J. Allen Brack, and the sharding technology that is supposed to be used in Classic.

Omar appeared at the Abbey of Northshire, and the players gathered around him. They founded a sort of cult called “Children of Omar” and followed him through the game world to various locations (in the video starting around minute 50:00).

wow classic beta stresstest omar der paladin

What comes next

The stress test ran until the early morning of May 24. From now on, the servers are offline again and only the regular beta of WoW Classic can be played. However, there will be further stress tests on:

  • Wednesday, June 19 and
  • Thursday, July 18

It is possible that multiple players will be invited again for these stress tests. Further invitations for the beta should become rarer, making access less likely. The release of WoW Classic is on August 27, 2019.

Some fans really want to play Classic as soon as possible:

Twitch streamer allegedly rejects “big money” – Launch of WoW Classic is more important

The Twitch streamer Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris reportedly turned down a major sponsored deal from a brand, according to his brother. While the deal would have been lucrative, the launch of WoW Classic was more important to Sodapoppin. He definitely did not want to miss it.

Where does this information come from? The streamer and lawyer Ryan “BJPOffical” Willet is the brother of the well-known streamer Sodapoppin (2.4 million followers).

Willet spilled the beans while discussing the contract dispute between Tfue and FaZe.

Willet wants to emphasize that his brother is not a “sellout”; he is not someone who bends for money. Sodapoppin and other big streamers are often accused of doing anything for money and sponsor deals.

The lawyer says: “If my brother wanted to sell out, he would have had a big opportunity here.”

On the contrary, Sodapoppin regularly turns down such deals.

Here’s how it went down: Ryan Willet says he reviewed the deal as his little brother’s lawyer and it was excellent. It wasn’t just a big check involved, but it was also a really cool product. Ryan encouraged his little brother to take the deal.

But Sodapoppin said, “Ryan, I can’t do this. It’s the first day WoW Classic is released. I can’t miss that.”

WoW Classic Wallpaper

What product is it about? The lawyer does not specify.

On reddit, people are discussing the deal and speculating about what the “major brand” deal could be that Sodapoppin turned down.

There are some clues:

A user on reddit believes: The deal could be a commercial for a virtual reality headset that is about to come out.

Another streamer, Pokelawls, has already talked about it and was himself excited about the headset.

It’s noticeable that some popular streamers on Twitch grew up with WoW and that the game seemingly holds a special place in the hearts of Twitch streamers.

world of warcraft wow classic logo

How is it going for Sodapoppin? He benefits from the launch of WoW Classic. According to Twitchmetrics, his streams of WoW Classic have had around 35,000 to 50,000 viewers on average. Hence, he is likely to be one of the big winners of WoW Classic on Twitch, alongside WoW streamer Asmongold.

At the moment, the game is extremely popular:

This is how Destiny 2 is reshaping its in-game shop Eververse for Season 7

For the upcoming Season of Opulence, Destiny 2 is making some changes to its in-game shop. Bungie has now detailed these changes.

What is the Eververse? The Eververse is the in-game shop of Destiny 2. There, Guardians can purchase numerous cosmetic items for the in-game currency Glimmer or real-money currency Silver, such as:

  • Ghosts
  • Ships
  • Sparrows
  • Weapon and armor ornaments
  • or various cosmetic effects

Players can also redeem Glimmer Engrams earned through progression, allowing them to randomly obtain most Eververse items.

For Season 7, Tess Everis’s shop will receive a new look and some radical changes, as the developers revealed in the current “This Week at Bungie” (TWaB) blog.

By the way, the TWaB also included new information about the upcoming World-First race: Destiny 2 aims to offer the fairest World-First race of all time in the new raid.

Changes in the Eververse for Season 7

Starting June 4th, there will be four major changes in Destiny 2’s in-game shop.

Direct purchase for all items: Every new Eververse item can be directly purchased in the shop with Silver or Glimmer in Season 7. New items are expected to appear weekly (with the reset). Additionally, most of these offers will be time-limited.

Content of Glimmer Engrams: The theme of the Glimmer Engrams earned through gameplay progression in the Season of Opulence is “Greatest Hits.” Accordingly, Glimmer Engrams in Season 7 will contain a collection of popular fan-favorites. The focus will be on “The Best from Year One”.

If popular emotes like “Spicy Noodle Soup” or the “Selfie” have remained unavailable to you, you will have the chance to complete your collection with missing cosmetics from the first year during Season 7.

Eververse Armor Sets: Previously, only individual parts of the Eververse armor were available either in the shop itself or through Glimmer Engrams. With the start of Season 7, complete armor sets will be offered in a single package for each Guardian class.

Individual armor pieces can still be purchased with Glimmer when they appear in the shop or are obtained from Glimmer Engrams. These armor pieces will always have fixed perks – even for duplicates.

Improved Interface: Bungie has also worked on the visual presentation of the in-game shop. The location of Tess hasn’t changed, but when Guardians visit her in the Season of Opulence, they will find a revised menu.

Special items will be presented as “Featured” on the main page in Season 7. This feature will change with each weekly reset.

The majority of these offers will only be available for a limited time, ensuring that Tess’s inventory is constantly refreshed. However, some of these items will return at a later date.

What do you think about the overhaul of the Eververse? Are you looking forward to the cosmetic highlights from Year 1?

What does the benchmark offer? It is frustrating when you buy a new game and then realize that it does not run well on your computer and stutters.

Even more frustrating is when the main game ran well so far, but the new addon does not because it offers more effects and generally more detailed graphics.

To avoid this frustration, you can use the benchmark tool for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers to find out before purchasing whether your PC is suitable for the addon. You can set different resolutions and detail levels.

A Benchmark with Character Creation

How does the tool work? You create a level 80 character with the program. After that, you can see how the new abilities and equipment from Shadowbringers look.

This way, you can see how your PC handles the game. Especially at high levels, you use abilities that cause many effects. This can strain an older PC. With the tool, you will find out whether your computer can still display Shadowbringers well when it comes to level 80 heroes on the screen.

What is special about the benchmark? With the tool, you create a hero that you can design as you wish. It is then possible to transfer this character into the MMORPG by having its appearance saved from the benchmark.

However, only its appearance, not its level and equipment. You will have to earn those in the online game yourself. Nevertheless, it is a good way to combine the test with something useful.

Where can you download the program? You can download the benchmark tool directly from the Final Fantasy XIV website. The file is about 1.98 GB in size.

After the download, you unzip the file and then run the .exe.

Final Fantasy 14 Benchmark
With the benchmark tool for Final Fantasy 14, you also create a hero for the addon Shadowbringers.

The Community is Already Busy Creating Heroes

How is the tool received in the community? The fans of Final Fantasy XIV are already busy creating their characters with the tool and posting the creations online on Reddit.

Especially interesting are the new races Viera and Hrothgar, as fans can now see how the characters look and how they can be customized even before the release of Shadowbringers. Additionally, the new items and skills can be seen in advance, which makes players eager to finally play the addon.

The community on Reddit is certainly having fun with the benchmark for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers.

Many players in ESO Elsweyr wish for this feature from the test server

In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) had a feature on the Public Test Server (PTS) that has not yet made it to the release version. Many players are eagerly waiting for it.

What kind of feature is it? If you are currently playing the new ESO expansion Elsweyr and watching the chat, you will frequently hear a message: “Hey guys, where do I get the daily quests for dragon hunting?”

Currently, lots of dragons are flying around and those who help to take them down get a good amount of experience points and valuable items from the creatures. However, a quest tied to dragon slaying seems to be missing.

This is all the more curious because there is an NPC in the game who points to another character that pays bounties for dead dragons. However, nobody has found this “Battlereeve Tannerline” yet, at least not in the release version of Elsweyr.

eso-elsweyr-screenshots-09
All the work feels a bit pointless right now.

Where is the NPC for the dragon dailies? Curiously, Tannerline has indeed existed in the game in the past. On the Public Test Server, where you could extensively test Elsweyr, the character was present and cheerfully handed out daily quests, making dragon hunting even more profitable.

However, in the release version of Elsweyr, Tannerline and the dailies for dragons are not present. This is not a bug but intentional. The patch notes for the Elsweyr release state that the dragon dailies are currently disabled and will be activated later after the launch of Elsweyr. This also applies to the Pellitine style motif.

When will the dailies come to the game? Besides the vague indication “After the Elsweyr launch,” there is no further information from ZeniMax regarding the dragon dailies. However, by the console launch on June 4 (which is also the official release date of the expansion), the dailies are expected to be in the game.

eso-elsweyr-screenshots-44
Luckily, dragons at least bring their regular loot.

How do players react? Most players in the ESO forum react with understanding to the delay and were rather confused because they had not read the patch notes and were therefore looking for the daily NPC in vain.

Since there is also an achievement for dragon hunting, many players wish that at least some mention should be made in the game that this achievement is currently unavailable.

A movie about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is supposedly being written

Will a major fan wish be coming to the cinema soon? Rumors suggest that the role-playing game Knights of the Old Republic is set to be adapted into a film. The MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is based on the game.

What is this rumor about? Several US media outlets are reporting today that a new Star Wars trilogy is currently in the works. This is not new. However, the films are reportedly going to deal with a topic that gamers have been wishing for some time: Knights of the Old Republic.

The rumor itself has been circulating the internet for quite a while. However, the signs seem to be intensifying now.

Responsible for the script of the new trilogy is said to be Laeta Kalogridis, who most recently produced Alita: Battle Angel. She is reportedly close to finishing her screenplay.

Kalogridis is said to have received the assignment for the script back in 2018. The project is supposedly unrelated to the Star Wars trilogy being developed by Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

What is KotOR? Knights of the Old Republic was released in 2003 by BioWare. The role-playing game takes place around 4000 years before the events of the previous Star Wars films.

In KotOR, players embody a character who can align with the light or the dark side of the Force. The goal is to confront Darth Malak, who attempts to conquer the galaxy with the help of the mysterious Star Forge, which can create a gigantic fleet of ships in a very short time.

Especially the role-playing elements and the story – particularly the identity of the player’s character revealed later in the game – were well-received by players. KotOR is one of the most popular Star Wars games.

The sequel Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords was released in 2004/2005 by Obsidian Entertainment.

Satele Shan
Satele Shan in Star Wars: The Old Republic is a descendant of Bastila Shan from KotOR.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is based on the era and story of the KotOR games.

What is the truth behind the rumor? In April, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy stated that something is currently being developed in the KotOR universe that they want to look at.

Casey Hudson and Mike Gamble from BioWare already commented on the rumors in March with cryptic Twitter posts.

What’s it about? In Fortnite, a game mode is currently active for a limited time. The City Chaos comes with several tasks that are gradually unlocked. One of the new tasks is “Find the letters O-N-F-I-R-E”. We will show you the locations.

Locations of O-N-F-I-R-E in Chaos City

In the following images, you will see the 6 different locations of the letters. Which letter you see depends on the order in which you collect them. The locations will always remain the same.

Hunter’s Arena will be the 1st “RPG Arena” game – Coming to Steam in 2019

With Hunter’s Arena, we expect a new battle royale game that offers an interesting feature: You can enhance your character and skills through RPG elements. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4, is set to be released on Steam in 2019, and now shows the first trailers.

What is Hunter’s Arena? The Korean development studio Mantisco aims to provide a new kind of battle royale concept. We have already reported on how the game incorporates elements from League of Legends and Tekken or Mortal Kombat.

Now the developers have shared even more about the title. RPG elements are also important, as you can improve your hero on the battlefield.

Here is the gameplay trailer for Hunter’s Arena:

Battle Royale with RPG

What makes it special? How you approach the fights determines how you progress in the game. Skills play a big role here. As in an action RPG, you can improve your character and learn new skills. These will give you advantages in battles, but always come with risks:

  • It’s possible to play cautiously in confrontations and use “safe” skills that you know will get you to your goal in some way.
  • However, it’s also possible to rely on new abilities which might lead to powerful combos, but also carry the risk that your opponent counters strongly and deals a lot of damage.

The entire principle is based on “Risk versus Reward”. Taking risks in battles can lead to powerful combos that promise a quick victory. Those who play more cautiously will progress more slowly but more safely.

Is this Battle Royale 2.0?

What game modes are available? Hunter’s Arena offers several modes, including a battle royale mode called Survival.

  • In Survival, 50 players compete against each other
  • You choose your hero from over 10 characters
  • The play area shrinks over time, as in typical BR games like PUBG
  • You search everywhere for loot, such as better weapons
  • You fight not only other players but also monsters and bosses, similar to the Shadow Arena of Black Desert Online
  • This allows you to gather EXP to improve your character

In addition, you can challenge another player in a day mode. Other modes are also planned.

An evolution of Battle Royale? More RPG elements, through which your hero can level up and improve, could represent an interesting innovation in battle royale games.

RPG elements are used in many games, even in shooters they are becoming more common. Therefore, it seems only logical to evolve the gameplay principle by incorporating RPG features into battle royale titles.

When will Hunter’s Arena be released? The online game is set to be released on PC via Steam in 2019. The developers have not yet announced a specific release date.

In the latest Hearthstone chapter, you get two new cool heroes

The third chapter of the current Hearthstone expansion is live. New boss fights await and, above all, two new heroes to play with.

Since last night (23.05), the third chapter of “The Great Heist” is accessible in Hearthstone. This is the solo adventure of the current expansion “Conspiracy of Shadows“. It entices with two new heroes, numerous new boss fights, and three card packs upon completing the chapter.

Two new “heroes” await: Part of the chapter are also two new playable heroes or rather minions, as they are called. The priest Kriziki and the rogue Captain Eudora are playable in both the new and the old chapters. In addition to their usual hero abilities, you can unlock two additional abilities for the characters.

Kriziki (Priest) learns:

  • Distort – Swaps the attack and health of a minion (2 Mana).
  • Pacify – Grants a minion -2 attack until your next turn (1 Mana).

Captain Eudora learns:

  • Mine! – Draw a random card from another class into your hand.
  • Saber Slash – Deals 2 damage to an undamaged minion.

Familiar pattern, new bosses: Apart from the new characters, the third chapter operates as the previous ones did. A total of 8 bosses must be defeated in a row to successfully complete the chapter. The bosses are randomly selected, ensuring that each “run” feels different from the previous one.

In the streets of Dalaran there is little space – both sides can only play 4 minions.

The opponents are known NPCs from World of Warcraft who live in the streets of Dalaran. These are special “heroes” of certain classes, but also merchants and scoundrels who wreak havoc there and are now defending the city against you.

What is the cost of the chapter? Like the previous chapter, “The Streets of Dalaran” costs either 700 gold pieces or €7. Alternatively, the entire adventure can also be purchased for €20, saving about €8.

By the way: The nerfs for the rogue are now live!

Have you bought and played the new chapter yet? Or are you not interested in the adventure at all?

Fortnite: Tfue’s contract leaked with FaZe – Twitch star with $2000 salary

In the dispute between the Fortnite star and Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney and the eSports organization FaZe, there is a new development. The contract has now been leaked to an online site. According to the contract, the Twitch star receives a salary of $2000 per month and is supposed to give up to 80% of his earnings.

This is the situation: The streamer Tfue is one of the major success stories of Fortnite in 2018. Within a year, he grew from a small streamer who was excited in February 2018 because he killed Ninja and posted it on reddit, to one of the largest solo streamers in the world.

In May 2019, Tfue with 6 million followers is the third-largest streamer on Twitch, only Shroud and Ninja are ahead of him.

In contrast to many other streamers, Tfue even qualified for the Fortnite World Cup and is considered one of the top players.

In April 2018, Tfue signed a contract with the eSports organization FaZe, which he wanted to terminate as early as September 2018 – but FaZe won’t let him.

Now he has filed a lawsuit to get out of the contract – but so far the public didn’t even know about this contract, which Tfue described as a gag contract. It was kept under wraps.

Tfue demanded to make the contract public – FaZe agreed but needed more time.

von Schuhmann

Where did the contract come from now? The site “Blast” has received and published the contract. They only say that the source that leaked the contract to them does not belong to the FaZe clan.

How long does the contract last? The contract was signed on April 27, 2018, and initially lasted 6 months. After that, the contract automatically extended for 3 years until the end of 2021.

6 million followers – $2000 salary

How much money does Tfue earn with the contract? He receives $2000 per month as a fixed amount. That is about 1786€.

The tricky part is that the FaZe clan is entitled to between 20% and 80% of many earnings that Tfue earns as a Fortnite player.

FaZe is supposed to get 50% of what Tfue earns from in-game merchandise.

In addition, FaZe is entitled to 20% of his tournament prize money. If they arrange a deal with a sponsor for Tfue, the contract even allows them to keep 80% of the earnings.

However, the clan gets nothing from Tfue’s direct earnings from YouTube or Twitch; it is mainly about deals, appearance fees, prize money, and “in-game merchandise”, such as the content creator code.

This is still tricky: The contract states

  • Tfue may not speak about the contract
  • If Tfue violates certain behavioral rules, he can be terminated. Then he must sit out a 6-month suspension during which he may not play publicly, neither online nor at tournaments

Clan says: We offered him millions

This is what the clan says: Although the FaZe clan has not yet publicly acknowledged this leaked contract, it is clear that they now look at the contract critically.

The clan boss Banks has already said that they offered Tfue a new contract multiple times with a salary of $1 million and no revenue share.

Also, the clauses in the contract were never enforced; they only took 20% of 2 sponsor deals that they had arranged for Tfue. That would be about $60,000.

Tfue would have earned millions during his time under FaZe, and he himself, Banks, would have made Tfue “possible”.

Where can you see the contract? Here, the page Blast published the contract online.

How it came about that Tfue signed the contract was explained by Clan leader FaZe Banks in a YouTube video:

Asia-MMORPG Astellia dispenses with gender lock in the West and is proud of it

This year the MMORPG Astellia is set to be released in the West. To ensure the game is well-received here, many changes are being made. One of the biggest adjustments is the removal of the gender locks.

What is Gender Lock? In Asian games, it is not uncommon for certain classes to be playable only by specific genders, as our discussion on Black Desert shows.

A bulky, muscular warrior, for example, is rarely represented by a woman. Female characters are often given sleeker classes that cannot be represented by men.

However, the system often faces resistance and misunderstanding in the Western world.

How does the Gender Lock look in Astellia? The MMORPG Astellia is very successful in Korea, but also very strict regarding gender restrictions.

Each of the five classes is directly tied to a gender. Thus, all archers, scholars, and mages are automatically female, while warriors and assassins are always male.

However, this is set to change in our version of the game.

Female warriors in the Western Astellia

At release, the Gender Lock is not gone

What changes is Astellia making for the West? In a blog post, the developers announced that at the release of the game in late summer, the classes of warrior and assassin can also be represented by female characters.

Restrictions on other classes are expected to be lifted soon after the launch. However, there are delays.

Why are the other classes delayed? The fact that not all classes will be combinable with all genders at the release of Astellia in the West is primarily due to the effort required for adjustments.

For all classes, new character models, animations, and adjusted equipment must be created. The effort for adapting to the West is very high.

There are also specific innovations just for us in the dungeons, and the developers also want to avoid accusations of pay-to-win. In the blog post, the developers proudly state that they are listening to the wishes of the Western community.

Will I have to forgo a class at launch? Even though not all gender locks will be resolved at the release of Astellia, you will not have to forgo certain classes.

Mages, scholars, and archers will receive a contract for a gender swap as soon as the male versions of the classes are completed.

New website with English content: On May 22, the revised website for Astellia was launched. There you can now find the blog posts also in English.

Additionally, there are first pre-order packages available that will also give you access to upcoming beta events. The most expensive package costs 99.99 Euros.

The special feature of Astellia is the Astels, which we have introduced here:
