Fortnite: FaZe explains why Tfue really wants to leave and why he cannot leave

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In the online shooter Fortnite, there has been a controversy surrounding Twitch streamer Tfue and his e-sports organization FaZe for a few days now. FaZe has now explained why they don’t want to let Tfue go and why the Twitch star actually wants to leave.

Here comes the statement: The FaZe clan uploaded a 7:15 minute long video on Twitter yesterday, where they share their perspective. FaZe CBass and Lee Trink, the CEO of FaZe Clan, speak in the video.

Their view on the lawsuit by Tfue differs significantly from how the streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney presents his situation.

This is how FaZe sees Tfue: They are well aware of the influence Tfue has had on FaZe as a brand, explains FaZe CBass.

They are incredibly proud of what Tfue achieved last year. The products developed around the Fortnite star are among the best works FaZe has ever delivered as a company.

They have worked for 8 years to collaborate with a talent as gifted as Tfue.

Fortnite-FaZe-Tfue
At that time, the world was still good for Tfue and FaZe.

FaZe can’t let Tfue go because of the fans

This is why Tfue can’t leave: For FaZe, their own fans come first. It’s about protecting the relationship with the fans. Because over the past year, fans have built a relationship with Tfue.

It is said: Fans have invested their time, enthusiasm, concern, and love into the relationship that FaZe has built with Tfue.

Thus, they cannot simply let Tfue go just because he wants to. That would cast a completely wrong light on gaming and on relationships in general.

This tweet by Tfue’s brother, who wants to start his own organization, is referenced by FaZe.

Tfue allegedly wants to start his own e-sports organization

Why does Tfue want to leave? According to FaZe, Tfue is only interested in leaving the organization because he wants to start his own e-sports organization. FaZe is apparently referring to statements made by Tfue’s brother.

FaZe cannot allow that. It would be like the Lakers allowing NBA star LeBron James to open his own basketball team in the city.

Therefore, all attempts to negotiate with Tfue have failed.

Anyone from FaZe who demands that Tfue be allowed to do that or let him go is simply not reasonable.

Fortnite-Tfue-eigene-Org
This Facebook post by Tfue’s brother is referenced by FaZe in the video.

This is how FaZe wanted to mend the situation: FaZe states that they have been trying from the very beginning to replace the “old contract” with Tfue with a better one. This would have eliminated all negative clauses immediately.

The old contract was negotiated under different management.

It is said that when the current management was in place, FaZe made it clear to Tfue early on: “We don’t like the contract Tfue signed either.”

They have never enforced any of these clauses to make it clear from the beginning how much they value Tfue. They have only earned $60,000 with him, which were two sponsor deals that FaZe secured for Tfue, from which they took 20%.

FaZe then explains in detail that they wanted to fulfill all of Tfue’s wishes in a new contract but hit a wall. The negotiations did not go well – there were sometimes no responses at all.

Tfue Fortnite

This is what’s behind it: The interesting thing here is that Tfue really seems to have signed a terrible contract, and FaZe knew that.

When FaZe realized what a big star Tfue was becoming through Fortnite and Twitch, they apparently wanted to fix this mistake and try to find a better basis with Tfue, but by then it seemed to have been too late.

The clan now claims to be doing everything right – but the question remains: How could they offer Tfue such terrible conditions if they wanted to work with him long-term? And why would they include such clauses in a contract if they did not intend to enforce them?

The FaZe side is plausible. It is credible,

  • that with the new management, they absolutely wanted to maintain the relationship with Tfue.
  • that FaZe is not looking to squeeze money from Tfue, but he is much more valuable as a brand ambassador, whom they bought in very cheaply

However, questions remain:

  • What was FaZe thinking when allowing him to sign the first contract?
  • How do they intend to keep Tfue in the organization against his will until the end of 2021 if he wants out so clearly?
  • Is it even possible to find a common ground for a trustworthy collaboration now?

For anyone wondering under what circumstances he could have signed the contract, we have an answer:

Fortnite: Find Jonesy at the Basketball Court, near Roofs and Trucks – City Chaos

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The new City Chaos challenges in Fortnite have 3 new search locations for Jonesy. You need to search for Jonesy near a basketball court, close to rooftops, and behind a truck. We will show you the three locations here.

What are these tasks? Regularly, Fortnite unlocks new tasks for the new City Chaos theme. You can complete them to unlock cosmetic items. The challenges are easy to complete and only require a few minutes of your time.

The new challenges of City Chaos on May 25 are:

  • Find Jonesy near a basketball court, close to rooftops, and behind a truck
  • Move past speed traps at over 30 speed

In this article, we will show you the 3 new locations for Jonesy. The order in which you visit them does not matter.

Find Jonesy near a basketball court – City Chaos

Where do you have to search for Jonesy near a basketball court? This location is one of the easiest. Start a round of City Chaos and run straight down the first hill on the left side after the match starts. Then you will already see the basketball court on the left side. Open the door in the metal fence and go inside; the Jonesy cutout is under the basket.

FN Jonesy Basketball

Find Jonesy near rooftops – City Chaos

Where do you have to search for Jonesy at the rooftops? For this task, you will run down the second hill and stay in the middle. This is the hill with the two food trucks at the end, between which you have to dance for another task.

In the middle of the hill, you need to stop. Use the police car that is hovering in the air as your orientation.

FN Jonesy rooftops police

The yellow railings on the right side are the place you need to reach. Equip the impulse grenade and place it under you in a way that you are catapulted into the air by its explosion and land at the height of the yellow railings.

Inside, you need to walk up the stairs. It’s best to help yourself with the impulse grenade as well. When you reach the top, the Jonesy cutout will be there.

FN Jonesy rooftops

Find Jonesy in a truck – City Chaos

Where do you have to search for Jonesy in the truck? To find the mentioned truck, you need to finish a round on City Chaos. At the end of the map, an elevator will catapult you into the air. Once you leave this elevator, try to stop. So press “backwards”.

On the left side, you will find a small alley.

FN Jonesy truck entrance

Go into the shown alley. On the left side, you will find a small pickup with the Jonesy cutout on it.

After visiting the three locations, the challenge is considered “completed” and you have unlocked the banana style option for the sport board.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint shows gameplay and how they redefine survival

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

In a new gameplay trailer, the developers of Ghost Recon Breakpoint discuss the survival elements of the shooter and how they want to bring fresh air into the game world.

This is shown in the trailer: The new gameplay was released by IGN and shows some gameplay scenes. Additionally, developers talk about how they want to integrate survival into the open game world.

The title of the video is already very ambitious: “How Ghost Recon Breakpoint redefines survival.”

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Characters

As an elite soldier behind enemy lines

Here’s why survival should feel different: The focus of the gameplay is primarily on making you really feel like an elite soldier operating in enemy territory. In this context, survival elements play an important role.

  • Players should feel a constant threat as they move through the game world
  • It is crucial that they consume enough food
  • Injuries of varying degrees also play a significant role.
  • Depending on how severely you are injured, your movement is impaired, and at some point, you may not even be able to aim accurately.
  • However, survival should never feel exhausting or annoying.

Additionally new is the Social Hub as well as the bivouac. This is a camp that you can set up in the game world. There you can regenerate and modify your equipment.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Camouflage Forest2
In enemy territories, you need to hide well

During the gameplay, several members of the development team also talk about the implementation of survival.

Breakpoint is still a shooter and is not intended to be a pure survival game. Rather, the developers are focused on the atmosphere and mood of the game. According to the developers, you cannot die from not drinking or eating enough, as Ubisoft emphasizes:

We do not utilize survival in a gameplay way that requires completing specific and boring tasks. Why? When we talk about Ghost Recon, we are discussing an instant simulation. When people come in, they want to feel like elite soldiers, they want to use high-end weapons, and they want to survive in exciting situations.

Executive Producer Nouedine Abboud

So why more survival? According to the developers, the fan feedback on Ghost Recon Wildlands was positive, but a frequent criticism was that the game world did not feel truly threatening. They want to prevent this with Breakpoint.

You will encounter many problems in the game world for which you must develop various strategies. You are constantly hunted by the mysterious Wolves, which is intended to enhance the feeling of threat.

The Division 2: Vendor Reset on May 25 – The Best Deals

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on the night of May 25th, the great vendor reset took place at The Division 2 for this week.

This is the vendor reset: On the night from Friday to Saturday, the vendor reset occurs at The Division 2. The vendors will then have new items in their offerings. Here we present high-end items that you can find this week on World Tier 5.

Unfortunately, since the release, it has become clear that the vendor offers rarely provide really good items. Nevertheless, we try to at least list somewhat usable offers.

division 2 agents 2

These are the best items from the vendors

Weapons:

  • Cassie Mandoza – The Railsplitter (CTAR-21)
    • Active Talent: Measured (The top half of the magazine has +20% rate of fire and -15% weapon damage. The bottom half of the magazine has -20% rate of fire and +30% weapon damage)
    • Passive Talent: Extra (+20% magazine capacity)
    • Holstered/Equipped Talent: Rascally (When this weapon is in the holster, you can resist “Stickiness” attacks. This can occur every 60 seconds)

Gear:

  • Cassie Mandoza – Wyvern Wear Backpack
    • Talents: On the Ropes (Weapon damage is increased by 25% when all skills are on cooldown or their charges reach 0), Merciless (+10% damage against elite enemies)
    • Stats: Crit Chance (+6%), Armor (+14.037), Weapon Damage (+4%)
    • Mod Slots: 1 additional attribute

Where can I find Cassie? The secret vendor Cassie changes her location every two days. To find her, you need to locate the spy. On this map, you can see some possible locations of the spy. However, this is not a complete list.

An overview of the entire vendor offerings can also be found on the site rubenalamina.

It looks like the next Call of Duty is simply called Modern Warfare

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming game in the Call of Duty series follows a bizarre naming convention. Because it will simply be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

What is the next Call of Duty called? Games from long-running franchises sometimes follow strange conventions in naming. This is especially true for Call of Duty, which has been called Modern Warfare, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, and then again just WW2.

However, the name of the next title surprises again, as the CoD for 2019 is simply called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

The only difference from the (almost) similarly named game from 2007 is that this game is called Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The latest game will not contain a number at all, but amusingly it would be the 4th game in the Modern Warfare series by Infinity Ward.

More on the topic
Call of Duty 2020 is allegedly Black Ops 5 – After development crisis
von Schuhmann

How do we know that the game is called that? The famous investigative journalist Jason Schreier from Kotaku claims to have uncovered the info about the new CoD. Since Schreier is considered well-connected and has often been correct in his statements, there might actually be some truth to the new name.

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1131924425526468609

How are the fans reacting? On Reddit many fans are laughing at the quirky naming of the new game.

  • “I can’t decide if this is bad or ridiculous”
  • “How about ‘ridiculously bad’?”
  • “They’ll probably slap a 2019 on it, like Doom”
  • “Coming in Summer 2020 – Modern Warfare 5: Call of Duty”
  • “This is almost as bad as the naming methods in Fast and Furious”

What could be in the new CoD? Perhaps the developers with the “new” name are pursuing a specific plan to return the series to its roots. Because the overly futuristic titles like Infinite Warfare were received poorly.

Thus, with WW2 they went back to the beginning of the series, in World War II. It’s possible that Modern Warfare intends to do the same, just set in a contemporary context to our present time.

And perhaps also as MMO-Light:

How to defeat Lapras in Pokémon GO together – Already at level 30

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Lapras returns to raids for the Raid Day in May of Pokémon GO. We will tell you how to defeat the Pokémon easily in pairs.

You need to be at least this level: To defeat Lapras in pairs, you only need to be at Level 30. The higher your level and your Pokémon are, the easier it will be.

Here’s how to have a chance at Lapras: The Pokémon returns tomorrow, May 25th, for 3 hours in the gyms. You have between 11 AM and 2 PM to battle the raid boss.

How to defeat Lapras in pairs

What counters should you use? Lapras is vulnerable to Fighting, Electric, Grass, and Rock types. Electric Pokémon are most effective. So make sure to have a strong team of that type.

Pokémon GO Raikou Title
Raikou is the best counter against Lapras

These bonuses help you: If your Pokémon benefit from the weather bonus and you and your raid partner have a high friendship level, the raid becomes significantly easier.

More on the topic
Pokémon GO: Here’s why you shouldn’t miss the Raid Day with Lapras
von Noah Struthoff

Defeating Lapras at Level 30 – Here’s how

These requirements must be met: To defeat Lapras at this level, you need suitable weather and the best friendship level. Only then can you truly conquer Lapras.

Machoke
With Machoke you can defeat Lapras very well

This is what your team should look like: You can only defeat Lapras in rainy or cloudy weather. For this, you need either Electric or Fighting Pokémon. They are then boosted by the weather. It’s important that your Pokémon are also at Level 25 and not just you as a Trainer.

  • Electivire with Thunder Shock and Thunder Punch (only in rain)
  • Raikou with Thunder Shock and Thunder Punch (only in rain)
  • Magnezone with Spark and Thunder Punch (only in rain)
  • Zapdos with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
  • Luxray with Spark and Thunder Punch (only in rain)
  • Machoke with Counter and Dynamic Punch (only in cloudy)
  • Hariyama with Counter and Dynamic Punch (only in cloudy)

Defeating Lapras at Level 35 – Here’s how

These requirements must be met: At Level 35, the weather and friendship level are also crucial. However, you can attack in sunny or partly cloudy weather if you have the right counters.

Roserade
In sunny weather you can use Roserade

This is what your team should look like: All the counters mentioned above work here as well, provided it is raining in the game or cloudy. If it is sunny, then rely on Grass Pokémon. If it is partly cloudy, you can use Rock Pokémon. Another Fighting Pokémon should also be included.

  • Toxicroak with Counter and Dynamic Punch (only in cloudy)
  • Roserade with Razor Leaf and Leaf Storm (only in sun)
  • Venusaur with Vine Whip and Flora Statue (only in sun)
  • Sceptile with Bullet Seed and Flora Statue (only in sun)
  • Leafeon with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade (only in sun)
  • Tangrowth with Vine Whip and Solar Beam (only in sun)
  • Tyranitar with Stone Edge and Rock Slide (only in partly cloudy)
  • Rhyhornior with Stone Edge and Rock Slide (only in partly cloudy)

Defeating Lapras at Level 40 – Here’s how

These requirements must be met: With Pokémon at Level 40, you have considerably more flexibility. You don’t need to have maximum friendship level or be dependent on the right weather.

Pokémon GO Level 40 Title
At Level 40, you have the best options to defeat Lapras in pairs

This is what your team should look like: If none of the Pokémon mentioned above are boosted by the weather, then you can also defeat Lapras with two Pokémon without the weather bonus:

  • Raikou with Thunder Shock and Thunder Punch
  • Machoke with Counter and Dynamic Punch

Depending on the weather, there are some additional counters that you can use. Here’s the appropriate list:

  • Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
  • Alolan Golem with Stone Edge and Thunder Punch (only in rain)
  • Jolteon with Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt (only in rain)
  • Exeggutor with Bullet Seed and Solar Beam (only in sun)
  • Rhyperior with Stone Edge and Rock Slide (only in partly cloudy)
  • Blaziken with Counter and Focus Blast (only in cloudy)
  • Lucario with Counter and Close Combat (only in cloudy)
  • Cacturne with Counter and Dynamic Punch (only in cloudy)

After the Lapras Day, 3 new raid bosses are waiting for you:

DDOS attacks on MMORPG Albion Online – Is someone trying to sabotage success?

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, the MMORPG Albion Online is struggling with DDoS attacks. This is nothing new for the developers, as there were already attacks on the servers at release.

What just happened to the servers of Albion? Community Manager Elsa announced in the forum that there may be disconnects and lags in Albion Online.

Although the developers had recently resolved connection issues, the servers are currently not performing well. The reason for this is the DDoS attacks from outside, targeting the game’s servers.

Albion-Online-Joseph-01

What is Albion Online doing against the attacks? According to Elsa, they are collaborating with one of the leading hosting companies to fend off the attacks.

This has so far worked well, and the servers have withstood the attacks. Nevertheless, due to the attacks, there are issues with connectivity and the mentioned lags.

However, the community manager could not provide us with more detailed information to avoid giving the attackers too much information.

DDoS attacks are already familiar to Albion Online

Does someone not want Albion Online to succeed? At the release of the game, there was already a similar situation surrounding Albion. Back then it was extortionists who wanted to exploit the good start of the MMORPG to fill their own pockets.

Currently, Albion Online is doing very well again. The switch to Free2Play has helped the game and led to player numbers soaring to an all-time high. They even expanded the existing areas to make room for new players.

Of course, the developers find it extremely frustrating that attacks are happening right during these good times for the game.

Is there compensation for the players? So far, there is no information regarding compensations due to the connectivity issues. During the attacks in 2017, the developers decided to give away free game time.

Our author Alexander Leitsch took a closer look at Albion Online after the Free2Play release:

FIFA 19 TOTS: The Bundesliga Team of the Season

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

The TOTS event in FIFA 19 continues with the Bundesliga Team of the Season. Find out which players the fans voted for here.

The Bundesliga TOTS: As with the Community TOTS the fans also had the opportunity to vote for which players will receive new, extremely strong TOTS cards.

40 of the best players from the Bundesliga season 2018/2019 were up for election. 23 spots were available.

The voting is now over and these players received the most votes:

The Bundesliga Team of the Season

The strongest players in the Bundesliga TOTS: The cards with the highest overall rating in the Bundesliga TOTS are Reus (98), Lewandowski (98), and Sancho (96). However, Trapp (95), Kimmich (95), Havertz (95), Werner (95), and Jovic (94) are also very strong.

Starting XI:

  • GK: Trapp (95)
  • RB: Kimmich (95)
  • LB: Halstenberg (91)
  • LWB: Kostic (93)
  • RWB: Da Costa (92)
  • CAM: Reus (98)
  • CAM: Brandt (93)

  • RM: Sancho (96)

  • CM: Kampl (88)
  • ST: Werner (95)
  • CF: Kruse (92)
  • CDM: Witsel (93)
  • ST: Volland (91)

The new TOTS card for Reus: Marco Reus receives an extremely improved special card as expected for the TOTS event.

Reus TOTS card (98)

This is already the ninth special card for Marco Reus in FUT 19, and this one really packs a punch. The offensive stats leave nothing to be desired. This TOTS card is likely one of the best that FUT 19 has to offer.

League Portugal

Another league: In addition to the Bundesliga TOTS, the Portuguese league also receives its own Team of the Season, featuring these cards:

How to get the new TOTS cards

From packs: As always, you can find TOTS cards in these packs:

However, it should be noted that a lot of luck is really necessary to pull a TOTS card. Therefore, we recommend using the transfer market.

What to keep in mind in the transfer market:  Here you can specifically buy TOTS players. However, prices can be pretty high, especially when a new Team of the Season is released.

Therefore, it may well be worth not buying your desired TOTS player directly. If they have been on the market for a while, the price usually drops.

What exactly is the Team of the Season?

This is how the event works: The Team of the Season (TOTS) wraps up the FUT season each year and is for many FUT players the biggest and most important event in FIFA Ultimate Team. With this event, a multitude of blue, highly upgraded cards are introduced into the game.

fifa-19-mbappe-jubel-schmollen

What players are looking forward to:

Over 200 special cards are expected, as each week during the TOTS event, a different team with at least 23 new TOTS cards is released. The influx of new, very strong cards is therefore enormous.

The TOTY event (Team of the Year), on the other hand, only featured one team with 11 very strong TOTY cards.

How strong are the TOTS cards: The TOTS event gives many FUT players the chance to play with real endgame cards. And the cards really pack a punch.

Among the top stars from the major leagues, upgrades of 6-10 points in overall rating are not uncommon.

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

New fish skin in Fortnite did not deliver what it promised – Now there’s a refund

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale recently offered some skins themed around “Fish” in the shop. Among them was a design called “Slippery.” However, it was supposed to have features that it ultimately did not include.

Which skin is it about? On 24.05.2019, the Fortnite shop was all about fish. Not only did the extremely silly skin “Fishstick” return, this time with another version (a VR Cyber Fish). There were also three “fishy” designs. These are skins for items that let you customize your weapons and vehicles.

There were three of them: a scale pattern, a fish head pattern, and another scale design, but according to the description, it had animation. Therefore, it costs also 500 (5 Euros) instead of 300 (3 Euros) V-Bucks.

Fortnite-Fish-design

Fish design makes customers angry

What was the problem with the skin? For the 2 extra Euros, many customers of the “Slippery Skin Design” were looking forward to processing their opponents into fish food with cool animated fish scales on their weapons.

But no matter how you turned it, the design only showed the same scales and no animation or reaction. It was actually just a different color version of the scale design for 300 V-Bucks.

This is how Epic reacts: There were some complaints about this. After all, people only bought the more expensive product because they wanted the animations. On Reddit, some dissatisfied customers shared their opinions.

Epic shortly responded via Twitter and admitted that they made a mistake. The design would not be animated. Therefore, they would reduce the price from 500 to 300. Everyone who purchased the item will receive a refund of the 200 V-Bucks difference.

https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1131742869675495424

This is what fans say: Some players think it’s okay that the design is now cheaper. But others are very confused as to why all the other non-animated designs for 500 V-Bucks still cost so much.

  • “Golden Scales also cost 500 V-Bucks and was not animated, why don’t you change that to 300 V-Bucks too?”

Others fans are disappointed because they specifically wanted the animated design. They do not want another skin that does nothing, not even for 300 V-Bucks:

  • “Can I get a full refund? The main reason for me was to have an animated skin. I don’t want another non-animated one.”

While some fans still hope that Epic will add the animation later, others mock that the buyer of the skin should have checked first whether the feature really works as advertised before spending money. So he is to blame for now having a useless fish design.

Fortunately, there is still the regular exchange action:

That’s why I think it’s good how Guild Wars 2 is currently improving the game

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

On May 28, Guild Wars 2 wants to introduce new “Quality of Life” changes to the game. These changes are part of a variety of adjustments that have already been made in recent months. Our author Alexander Leitsch finds the tackling of old systems very positive.

Guild Wars 2 celebrates its seventh birthday in August. Over time, games become outdated, and you can see that with this MMORPG as well. However, since April 2018, the developers have been revising many old systems. And I really like that.

Next Tuesday, the process is set to continue. The latest change seems quite unspectacular.

What can we expect in the upcoming patch? For the patch on May 28, small adjustments to gear with selectable attributes are planned.

When I farmed Ascended jewelry using the currency Winterberries, that gear had specific values to choose from. These were previously restricted to the expansion Heart of Thorns.

But now everything will be standardized. No matter where the gear I farmed comes from, the selectable values will adapt to the status of my account. If I only owned Path of Fire, I could only use those values and those of the base game. Of course, I own all expansions and can access all values accordingly.

However, there are three small exceptions:

  • Crafted backpieces
  • Armor and weapon rewards from elite specialization collections
  • Attribute combinations related to raids and fractals

So far, so unspectacular. However, when you look at this change in connection with the many other adjustments, a complete picture is slowly emerging.

Guild Wars 2 wants to become more beginner-friendly, clearer, and generally more understandable. And with the latest patches, they are succeeding in that.

GW2 Fortress HoT

Less clutter in the inventory, underwater combat, and standardization

Where do the QoL changes begin? ArenaNet was known for a long time for “making things worse” in Guild Wars 2. With the revamp in August 2014, they started improving the entry into the game.

The developers streamlined the system at the beginning and simply removed content like the downstate or elite skills, only to unlock them again at a later level.

While beginners were no longer overwhelmed by content, they were suddenly surprised by mechanics that simply didn’t exist at the beginning. I spent many hours explaining to people what exactly the downstate is and when they would receive skills for it.

Some changes, such as those to traits, I have always viewed critically. To be honest, I didn’t expect ArenaNet to turn things around and implement meaningful revisions.

However, since 2018, everything has changed.

Quality of Life in 2018: Almost all innovations regarding game systems in 2018 were celebrated enthusiastically by players. It all started with the glyph system in April. This created a unified system for gathering tools with bonus effects for the first time, something I had already demanded in a podcast.

Following this was a major overhaul of underwater combat, the return of the thought-to-be-dead Festival of the Four Winds, an expansion of the wardrobe, and a revamp of runes and sigils.

I could hardly believe my luck, as ArenaNet was actually tackling many things I never thought would happen.

Quality of Life in 2019: This year there were even innovations and announcements I never expected. The adjustments to the loot system from March, which ensure that the inventory is no longer cluttered with gear, was already a significant bonus.

However, the developers captured my heart with the announcement of the build save system. This feature is not yet in the game but has been hotly debated since its release in 2012.

Guild Wars 2 announces content that finally fulfills an old wish
von Alexander Leitsch

A long way, but a good one

Why QoL changes are important: I am well aware that the listed changes do not win new players and that only a few veterans will cheerfully return to the MMORPG because of them.

Why have items such as pots and toys not been in the wardrobe for years? Why has underwater combat been so strictly ignored? These and many other questions were repeatedly raised by players.

If you want to bind players to a game long-term, it must also have some comfort functions and, above all, a unified system. And that is exactly what Guild Wars 2 has lacked for many years.

The right path: ArenaNet has taken the right path for me. Regular story episodes like now the Eternal War, additional content like fractals and raids, regular balance patches, and many adjustments to old systems.

In the first 5 months alone, there were 9 major updates for Guild Wars 2, including the mount Warclaw for WvW. But the journey is far from over. Important updates like the alliance system or build templates are still missing.

However, if ArenaNet continues to stay on track, then Guild Wars 2 has a long future ahead of it for me, especially because old systems are constantly being revised.

If you want to see something new in Guild Wars 2, you should definitely play the new map:

Players overwhelm the Dauntless servers: Up to 3 hours waiting time

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Dauntless celebrated its official release. It apparently attracted so many players that the servers can no longer handle the load. The developers are working on it, but fans still need to be patient.

So many players want in: After the official release of Dauntless on May 21, 2019, on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, an additional 500,000 fans signed up in addition to the beta players. Currently, Dauntless has over 4 million players. (via gamesradar)

There are even more expected. By the end of the year, Pheonix Labs aims to increase the numbers further. The developers want to attract up to 9 million players to the servers. The influx is already causing problems.

Dauntless-Slayers
Too many players want to play.

Connection issues in Dauntless: Endless queues

Where do the queues come from? The reason for the queues is that the servers are simply “full”. They can no longer accommodate any more players. Therefore, Phoenix Labs had to implement a “one in, one out” policy. Every player who wanted to get in needed to take the spot of someone who left.

This is how long players have to wait: Some players reported sitting in the queues for over 3 hours.

Currently, the queue does not show a duration anymore. Instead, it displays how many players are still waiting in front of you in the queue. As of now (May 24 at 4:00 PM), there are no active queues.

This is what the developers are doing about it: The capacity for players who can play Dauntless simultaneously has already been increased. This should now allow more players to join the game at the same time.

However, there are still queues, and the developers have been working for days to manage the influx. The official Twitter account of Dauntless tweeted that work continues, capacities are being increased, and bugs and crashes are being fixed:

Previously, there were larger issues. In Dauntless players can hunt with friends, which is even supported by crossplay. However, the friend lists on PC, PS4, and Xbox One were empty for many players.

While the problem should be resolved by now, players must first log in to be able to play together. You can check the current status of the servers on the Dauntless status website.

In the future, Dauntless will even serve additional platforms:

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

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

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!

What are Fortbytes and how do you collect all of them? Fortbytes are basically electronic puzzle pieces and the special feature of Season 9. In total, there are 100 of them.

Every day a new Byte is revealed. By the end of the season, you can unlock the special skin of Season 9 with the Bytes. However, you will need a total of 90 out of 100 possible Fortbytes.

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

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

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

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

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

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

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

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

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

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).

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.
