“What does the Nintendo Switch need? More superhero MMOs!” probably thought Daybreak Games and released DC Universe Online on Nintendo’s hybrid console. The game is already eight years old and will be released on Switch in summer 2019.
What MMO is it? As Daybreak Games recently announced, the superhero MMO DC Universe Online will be released on Nintendo Switch in summer 2019.
The online game was first released in 2011 for PlayStation 3 and PC. Later, DC Universe Online was also released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The studio developed DC Universe Online as a subsidiary of Sony under the name Sony Online Entertainment. After Sony sold the studio and it was renamed Daybreak, the way was cleared for DC Universe Online to be available on other consoles.
Among other things, players can meet Superman.
What is DC Universe Online? The MMO is a free-to-play game set in the DC comic universe. Expansions, various power sets, and other optional content are sold in packages for real money. There is also a premium membership, which costs €14.99 per month on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
What do players say?On the Nintendo Switch subreddit, the news of the release of DC Universe Online for the console is received very positively. Some former players expressed that they would check back if the MMO attracted new players on Switch.
In general, an MMO for Nintendo’s console is well received. According to some players, the Switch currently has too little MMO content anyway. The largest MMOs for the system, Dragon Quest X and Phantasy Star Online 2, have only been released in Japan so far.
To find Jonesy in Fortnite , you should look behind a fence and in the sewers. We will show you the locations.
What is it about? New tasks are regularly unlocked for the City Chaos mode in Fortnite. For two of the tasks, you need to find Jonesy. He is hiding on the new map that Epic Games has unlocked for this mode. We will show you where to search.
Find Jonesy hidden behind a fence
For the first task, you need to track down Jonesy behind a fence. This involves a life-sized cutout of the Jonesy character.
Where should you search? After starting City Chaos, speed down the first hill and then turn right around the corner. Now keep to the left side. There is a side street marked by a low wooden fence. Let the fence slow you down and go into the side street.
At the end of this alley, you can see an area separated by a metal fence. Open the door and interact with the cutout. Task completed.
Find Jonesy in the sewer
You will complete this task almost on the go. We will show you which path you need to take to complete the task.
Where should you search? Start a round of City Chaos in Fortnite. As the name of the challenge suggests, you will find Jonesy in the sewer. You will run down the first hill, turn right, and run down this one too. Past the food trucks, where you need to dance for another task.
By the trucks, turn right again and now walk straight down the hill in the middle. This will lead you directly to the entrance of the sewer.
Jump into this entrance now. Then simply follow the forks in the sewer. At the very end, Jonesy will be waiting for you behind some bars.
If you zoom past him, the task will be considered completed.
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 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.”
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.
and other streamers also enjoy talking about what offers come their way – even though they shouldn’t really be talking about it.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Is your PC sufficient to play the new addon Shadowbringers for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With a newly released benchmark tool, you can find out – and even create a hero for the addon Shadowbringers.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The “villains” Revan and Malak (left).
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 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.
Find the letters O-N-F-I-R-E in City Chaos in Fortnite. We will show you how to easily complete the Downtown Drop challenge and unlock the skateboard skin.
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.
Find the “O”: You can find the letter “O” shortly after the start of the City Chaos map. Slide down the first hill straight ahead and stop next to the basketball court. There, you will find the letter.
Find the “F”: From the food trucks, go back a little along the path towards the start. On the left side, you will find a tunnel entrance with a yellow railing beside it. Go down the tunnel.
In the first room, you will find the sought “F”.
Find the “I”: After the “F”, follow the path down and then turn left at the only opportunity. You will pass by a burst water pipe. Continue down the hill, but keep to the left side. There, you will find a truck in the corner, behind which the “I” is waiting.
Find the “R”: After this truck with the “I”, continue down the street. Keep to the right side now. You will come to a green-red crane. The sought letter is located at the tile that the crane is holding.
Here, an “E” is displayed for us, because we collected this letter last. If you follow the order here in the guide, you will see an “R”.
Find the “E”: After the crane, continue along the path to a kind of elevator. It will shoot you up towards the start. Once you reach the top, you should immediately try to stop. Then turn around and look towards the elevator. You will notice a red car. The sought letter is located here.
If you visit this location last, you should see an “E” here.
Once you have collected all the letters, the inscription “On Fire” will appear on your screen. Then you have completed the challenge.
If you want, you can also follow this YouTube guide for the letters. Then you will know exactly where to search.

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 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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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”.
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:
In Pokémon GO, the Raid bosses are known until July! There are 3 returning bosses that you can all catch as Shiny. We provide all the information.
These are the bosses: Cresselia, Kyogre, and Groudon are returning. These 3 bosses will come into the game one after the other and will be the legendary Raid bosses until July 10th.
You now have over a month to get legendary Shinies from the raids.
Legendary Pokémon until July – All Times
Everything about the return of Cresselia: The Psychic-type Pokémon is the first monster to return. You already have the chance for Cresselia raids in May:
Available in raids from May 27th to June 18th
First time also available in shiny form
Weak against Bug, Ghost, and Dark types
On the right, you see the shiny form of Cresselia
The special thing about Cresselia is definitely the shiny form. In battles, the Psychic Pokémon is not particularly useful, as it has very weak stats. If you are lucky while trading, you might be able to use it well for PvP.
Everything about the return of Kyogre: The powerful Water Pokémon has returned several times. Now you again have the chance for Kyogre:
Available in raids from June 18th to June 27th
Available in shiny form
Weak against Grass and Electric types
Kyogre is returning to the raids for not the first time
Every raid counts here! Kyogre is by far the best Water attacker in the game. You can also find it as a shiny. So make the most of these days.
You can easily recognize the shiny form of Groudon.
Groudon is the best Ground attacker in the game. So it is worth going after good IVs here as well. The shiny form makes it even better.
How long will Vesprit be available? The current legendary Pokémon disappears on May 27th. Cresselia is the direct replacement. This shows, however, that the Lake Trio remains regional. In Germany, we do not have the chance for Tobutz or Selfe.
Will there be other Raid bosses? It can be assumed that a number of non-legendary bosses will also come into the raids corresponding to each boss. They then always serve as good counter Pokémon.
There may also be special raid days and weeks during this period. Another legendary Pokémon could then appear in the raids.
There might be a new feature in the raids by then:
A new patch for Overwatch has been deployed to the test servers. In addition to buffs and nerfs for some heroes, there is a brand new feature.
Although the latest patch for Overwatch, which also brought the Anniversary Event and the Workshop , has only been live for a few days, the next update is already here. The PTR for Blizzard’s hero shooter is live again.
The update brings numerous changes. In addition to some adjustments to the heroes, there is also a new feature that ambitious players have wished for. It will now be possible to create and view replays of past matches!
10 replays from multiple perspectives: Starting from the next patch, Overwatch will be able to save the last 10 games and replay them. Players can then watch the match from any desired position, whether from first person, third person, or a bird’s eye view. This allows players to better capture highlights of their matches or analyze their recent games to learn from them.
Changes
to the heroes – The buffs and nerfs
The next patch brings some adjustments to various heroes. While Torbjörn and D.Va are being nerfed, there are buffs for Baptiste, Orisa, and McCree.
Baptiste
Biotic Launcher
The maximum healing ammunition has been increased from 8 to 12.
Amplification Matrix
The duration of the amplification matrix has been increased from 8 to 10 seconds.
D.Va
Defense Matrix
The length of the Defense Matrix has been reduced from 15 meters to 10 meters.
McCree
Peacekeeper
The recovery time between shots has been reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.4 seconds.
Orisa
Protective Barrier
The reload of the primary weapon is no longer interrupted when Orisa sets up her protective barrier.
Symmetra
Teleporter
The interaction range of the teleporter has been increased from 1.0 meters to 1.5 meters.
Torbjörn
Rivet Gun
The damage of the alternate fire of the Rivet Gun has been reduced from 12.5 damage to 10.5 damage – so 105 damage if all projectiles hit.
Assault maps are now faster: Additionally, Blizzard has made an important change to the assault maps, where one team must capture 2 control points in sequence. Taking control point A now only grants 3 minutes of extra time instead of the previous 4 minutes.
Also, all defenders respawn shortly after control point A is lost, only 3.5 seconds later, for a short while. This allows defenders to regroup at least once, and they are not punished for having defended control point A with iron determination.
There is still no exact release date for the patch. It is expected to stay on the PTR for several weeks and undergo changes.
What do you think of the adjustments to the heroes and the replay feature? Are these sensible innovations? Or do we not need any of this?
In the producer’s stream for Final Fantasy XIV, the new skills were showcased. These are new abilities that players will receive in Shadowbringers, the new expansion of Final Fantasy 14. And the abilities are stylish.
What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer explosively demonstrates the abilities that players will receive in the upcoming expansion Shadowbringers.
In addition to many old skills that have been revamped, there are also several new abilities. And while they all have cool animations, some of them were absolute highlights for players:
Dragoon learns an ability from the giant dragon Nidhogg. The fight against Nidhogg is regarded as one of the most exciting and well-staged.
Summoner gets the new pet Phoenix. Phoenix is also strongly rooted in the story of FFXIV.
The Dark Knight, on the other hand, summons a shadow of themselves, which players quickly recognized as the NPC Fray. He plays an important role in the job quests of the Dark Knight and is popular among players.
The Scholar receives an ability that allows them to summon the Seraph, who assists them in healing.
The Machinists will be able to summon their own robot, who will fight alongside them for a short time. The job has been revamped for Shadowbringers and is now intended to provide a stronger “machine feeling.”

Bungie has explained how they want to ensure as much fairness as possible in Destiny 2 when the new raid “Crown of Sorrow” opens its doors for the first time.
Now the studio has explained how they want to ensure that the race for the World-First title is as fair as possible for all players. Among other things, a special mode will be introduced for the first 24 hours and some other changes will be made.
Will the raid return to the Leviathan?
This is the reasoning behind the changes: In a separate blog post, Luke Smith explained the motivation behind the changes for the raid.
In Season 7, they want to try something new and allow the raid to start right at the beginning of the season. This is intended to make the World-First race more competitive and fairer at the same time.
Previously, a raid start was preceded by a multi-week and cross-season collecting marathon, where players hoarded as many powerful rewards as possible to start the raid with the highest possible power level. This gave some guardians a significant advantage in this activity.
Now, this should proceed much fairer due to some additional changes than in previous World-First races. Such methods will still play a role in a limited scope, but by no means as much as before. If this experiment succeeds, it could become the standard model for future World-First races.
Special mode for the first 24 hours
This is what the contest mode entails: For the first 24 hours of the raid, a special mode will be active – the so-called “Contest” mode. This will prevent guardians from over-leveling the new content.
As long as Contest is active, there will be restrictions on the power level of individual encounters in the raid – a kind of fixed difficulty.
Specifically, this means: For the encounters, there will be no advantages from a certain power level – no matter how high your level is. In the first encounter, for example, you will have no advantage from power level 700 onwards. In the final fight, a power level above 720 will not benefit you.
After 24 hours, the relationship between the raid and power level will be restored. Everything should proceed as it has previously.
This additionally ensures fairness: Additionally, Bungie intends to take Destiny 2 offline for two hours after the update for the new season goes live. This is to ensure that as many players as possible can download the update and meet the requirements for the raid.
Requirements for the raid
Here’s what you need to do to access the new raid: Instead of the power-boost bounties introduced in Season 6, there will be a special power-boost quest after the new Season 7 begins.
All players must complete it before they can start the raid – once per account. After you master this quest with one character, all other characters on your account will be rewarded with gear at power level 690. You should be able to play your favorite character without being affected by your power-level strategy.
Additional restrictions
Additionally, there will be two more factors to ensure more fairness in the World First:
Restriction on Gambit bounties: The Drifter will no longer be one of the main sources of power. The power boosts granted through Gambit bounties are expected to decrease once you reach a power level of 700. From a power level of 720, these boosts will decrease even further.
Restriction on Primus Engrams: The buff “Primus Determination” will be limited to two charges per character on day one of Season 7 – even if you have played up to the reset. This means this bonus only applies to the first two Primus Engrams that you find.
The old raids are initially disabled: The raids “Last Wish” and “Scourge of the Past” will be disabled until the first team has completed the new raid “Crown of Sorrow”. This is to prevent guardians from using a stockpile of Ascendant Shards to gain a level advantage.
What do you think of this idea? Is it a good basis for a fair World-First race?
At that time, it was unclear what impact this would have. Since last night, the first effects are being felt in World of Warcraft. Players are hearing haunting voices.
Such as in this example video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbtTqF7p9-s
What happened? Since last night (May 23, around 10:00 PM), players who have kept N’Zoth’s gift report that they are hearing a new sound in World of Warcraft. It is the whispering of an Old God, played permanently and sounding eerie and distorted.
What does the Old God say? The exact words are not understandable. So far, players are speculating about what the Old God is whispering to them. It is clear, however, that he exerts influence on the players, and only players who still possess the gift from N’Zoth can hear it.
What is the benefit of this? The “Secret Finding” Discord community is already on the case, trying to determine whether the whispers are connected to a new secret or just a sign of the next Patch 8.2: Rise of Azshara.
In any case, the sound is quite eerie and causes shivers down some players’ spines. Was it a good idea not to remove the gift? We will surely find out soon…
Cortyn says: I am so glad I didn’t purify the gift – even though I’m not sure I can endure the whispering for long. It not only drives my character crazy, but also me. But what won’t one do for an Old God?
What do you think is behind the eerie sounds? Did you notice them immediately? Or did you purify the gift and are not affected by it?

Amazon.com lists the Switch version of FIFA 20 with a release date. Whether this date is realistic, you can find out here.
Amazon releases date: On Amazon.com, the Switch version of FIFA 20 is listed. The special thing about it: according to Amazon, the release is supposed to be on September 28, 2019.
This is also interesting for FIFA players on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as FIFA titles are always released simultaneously on all systems.
Officially, there is still no release date: EA has so far withheld information about FIFA 20 and has not revealed anything about a possible release.
This is not surprising, as last year EA also waited with information about FIFA 19 until their own Play event. Here, the game was officially announced with a trailer and a lot of information.
This year there will again be an EA Play event, from June 7 to June 9, just before the start of the other E3 press conferences. We expect an announcement at this event.
But maybe Amazon.com already knows more.
The release date should be taken with caution
Nothing is certain yet: Neither EA nor Nintendo have currently confirmed the date. Therefore, it can only be speculated whether the date is realistic.
However, something strange about the date is that it falls on a Saturday. FIFA games have been released on Fridays in the last two years. Nevertheless, the timing fits because a release at the end of September is quite common. This is also shown by the last years.
A forthcoming essence for the Heart of Azeroth in WoW is causing a stir. PvP fans will receive another talent for PvE.
With Patch 8.2 Azsharas Aufstieg, players of World of Warcraft will get a new system to individualize their characters a bit more. The Heart of Azeroth will be expanded with an essence system. Essences can be obtained from various sources, such as reputation factions, grind tasks, or PvP. The PvP essence is particularly exciting, as it has been revealed with a strong effect. It allows players to gain an additional PvP talent, which will even be active in PvE!
What are the essences? Essences can be embedded in the Heart of Azeroth and provide additional effects, such as new abilities or strong passive bonuses. One of these bonuses comes from the PvP essence “Conflict and Strife.” How exactly to obtain it is still unclear. In any case, it will likely involve PvP.
The talents are fixed: Which talents are available for each class and specialization is already predetermined in the essence. There is no free choice. Blizzard will determine which talent is used for each specialization. A similar system was also used in Legion with the legendary rings that granted additional talents.
Why is there no selection? Since PvP talents have extremely different effects, it would lead to significant balance issues between the classes. While some classes primarily have “useful” talents that enhance their survivability, classes like the Warlock have talents that can increase the damage of certain spells by up to 65%. This would cause chaos in PvE balance.
If Warlocks had free choice, they would likely gain the greatest benefit from the essence.
Talents are not final yet: Blizzard has already announced that the talents currently unlocked by the essence are not final. Some talents will still be changed or need to be adjusted to function correctly in PvE situations. For example, a talent that drastically reduces healing received from enemies would be too powerful against PvE raid bosses. This needs further fine-tuning.
When will the essence be available? The new essence system will be unlocked for players in Patch 8.2 starting at level 50 of the Heart of Azeroth. It might be worthwhile to level up the Heart of Azeroth to level 50 now to be fully prepared for the release of the patch.
A release date for Patch 8.2 Azsharas Aufstieg has not yet been announced. However, it is expected within the next few weeks.
Are you excited about the possibility of a bonus talent? Or would you prefer to try out the other essences with truly new effects?

One task revolves around tricks with vehicles. We will show you how to solve them quickly and easily.
Quad Crasher in Fortnite – Stay in the air
The first of the free tasks in week 3 is divided into three phases.
In Phase 1, you need to perform a trick with the Driftboard. This is super simple. Just grab a Driftboard, charge the boost, jump over a small hill into the air, and spin around. Voilà, trick performed.
In Phase 2, you need to stay in the air with the Quad Crasher for at least 3 seconds.
Here’s how to complete the task: One of the easiest ways to complete this task is to use geysers. You can find them all over the map, and they will blast you straight up when you drive over them. Drive extremely slowly, at walking pace, to keep yourself above the geyser. You can find a map with geysers in Fortnite here.
In the video, YouTuber DiTech shows what it can look like:

If you don’t feel like looking for a geyser on the Fortnite map, just drive up a large mountain with the Quad Crasher. It’s best to have lots of resources in your inventory.
Once on the mountain, build a huge ramp using stair elements and cruise up it with the Quad Crasher. Just before you reach the end of the ramp, use the boost to fly as long as possible.
The video from Silver Comet Gaming shows you which mountain is suitable for such a ramp and what the stunt looks like.
