Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 21.05. – New activities and challenges

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 today, on May 21st, is Weekly Reset. The weekly activities like Nightfall strikes or Flashpoint rotate, and there are new challenges. What else does the new week bring?

With today’s reset, a new week in the Destiny universe begins. Guardians on PC, however, will have to wait an hour longer. Today, the PC version of Destiny 2 receives Hotfix 2.2.2.2, and the PC servers will be down from 7 PM to 8 PM.

Starting today, diligent players have the chance to fully level the Masterwork Catalyst for the new exotic Pulse Rifle Perfected Outbreak and experience the weapon in its full strength. Because after the Void and Arc configuration, today the last step of the exotic ship quest in the mission “The Hour Zero” goes live – the Solar configuration.

DOTA 2 now offers a “Player Avoidance” feature, but you have to pay for it

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Valve released a new Battle Pass for DOTA 2 in May 2019. This time, it includes not only new tasks to complete but also a social feature that players have been waiting for.

What is this feature? It is the “Avoid Players” feature, which many MOBA competitors have offered for some time now. This feature is intended to prevent you from being matched with certain players again.

Dota 2 Battlepass 2019

New Feature: “Avoid Players” in DOTA 2

This is how the feature works: To avoid a player, you should simply select the option on the end screen after the game for the corresponding player. However, this apparently only works for your own team.

The players will then no longer be able to play with you. You should not be able to join them in random matchmaking any longer. However, they can still appear as opponents.

The feature is currently still in the “experimental” phase, which is why it apparently does not work flawlessly yet. Players report on Steam that they are sometimes still matched with avoided players.

Dota 2 Battle pass Avoid Player vom Battle Pass

Why do I have to pay? To use the feature, you need to purchase the new Battle Pass for 2019 in DOTA 2. This currently costs 8.75€ on Steam. The feature will only be available to you functioning after that.

Valve has not yet commented on why such a feature is included in a Battle Pass. Many players and other sites are already talking about a “paywall”.

Dota 2 Battle pass Avoid Player Drake Meme
The feature is the only reason for some players to buy the Battle Pass. Image source: reddit.

Can this be done without the Battle Pass? So far, there have been no news on whether there are plans to make the feature available to all players afterward. Since it is part of the Battle Pass 2019, it is unlikely to come to the game until after its expiration.

User Shadow Pool made a joking remark about how you can also avoid players in other ways:

“Avoid Players” does not work without a Battle Pass. But if you meet a player with a Battle Pass, you just have to go to their lane and feed there so they avoid you.

The feature has been requested repeatedly by the community for many years now. It is therefore possible that after the experimental phase, it will be available for everyone.

The best players in the world are currently having problems against computer opponents:

After Avengers and John Wick, Fortnite is launching the next event with Michael Jordan

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The next event in Fortnite is coming up! It looks like it will be about Michael Jordan and starts tomorrow.

What kind of event is this? Recently, events in Fortnite have been increasing. After the LTMs with Avengers and John Wick, an event with Michael Jordan will follow.

This can be seen in the Fortnite news, which show what is coming up for players. Additionally, Epic posted a picture riddle on Twitter that clearly hints at Michael Jordan.

What we know about the event with Michael Jordan

When does the event start? If this event is comparable to the previous ones, we should be able to dive into the world of Michael Jordan tomorrow.

Michael Jordan
This is how Epic announces their new event.

Tomorrow, a new patch will likely be released in the game, which will provide information about the event. This was at least the case with the last events. Once the maintenance on the servers is over, the event should be live.

What is the event about? So far, it is not yet clear what content will be coming our way. Players suspect that it will be another LTM (Limited Time Mode), a game mode that is only available for a short time.

Fans speculate that it will be a game mode centered around basketball. After all, Michael Jordan is considered a legend in this sport.

Skins
These two skins were available in the shop some time ago.

There are already suitable skins for that. A couple of basketballer skins were available in the game a few weeks ago. They are called Jumpshot and Triple Threat. However, Jordan himself might also get his own skin. That was the case during the John Wick event.

What do you think about the event? What do you wish for?

GTA 5 looks so impressive with the latest graphic hype ray tracing

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

This mod brings ray tracing to GTA 5 and thus changes the game’s visuals. In the video, you will see how the game changes as a result.

What’s new? Although GTA 5 may seem outdated on paper with its 6 years since release, diligent developers from the community are working on mods that refresh the game’s visuals.

There are many modifications available on PC that adjust the graphics. This revolves around a special mod by Pascal Gilcher. One of his Patreon supporters shared a video of the mod on YouTube. The modification is still in the alpha phase and demonstrates ray tracing in GTA 5 with before and after comparisons.

Here’s what the Ray Tracing Global Illumination mod looks like:

The video shows how the light in the game is changed through ray tracing. Keep in mind that other mods are also activated in the shown footage. In the after images, the game appears brighter and more tangible.

The developer of the mod writes about the video on his Patreon profile “It really shows perfectly what this shader is capable of.” He mentions the diffuse shadows that can be seen on the car in the thumbnail.

It should also be noted that this is not complete ray tracing. The mod has some limitations.

With expansions like the Redux mod you could early on visually enhance GTA 5.

What is ray tracing anyway? The term has come up frequently in the gaming community lately. The ray tracing technology aims to represent light and shadows in scenes particularly realistically.

The technology behind it is essentially an algorithm that can track the path of light. This makes it possible to depict how light interacts with digital objects.

Ray tracing is already being used in many new games. Just like in the online RPG Dragon Hound, which showcases the technology in the video.

The Division 2: Here you can find 6 hidden raid keys and get extra loot

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

In the Raid of The Division 2, there are several special keys. These can be used to open chests with extra loot after completion. Players have now gathered the locations for 6 of these keys.

Which keys are we talking about? In the various phases of the raid, you can find several hidden keys. With these, you can open loot chests that appear at the end of the raid.

What are these loot chests? Players have not yet fully deciphered what pool of items the chests can contain. However, it seems that these simply contain more raid loot.

Thus, there should also be a chance for the new exotic assault rifle and the new gear sets. The chests increase your rewards. However, to open a chest, you must first collect 5 keys.

division 2 raid x1 (1)

The Locations of the Raid Keys

The Reddit user Revan10492 has described a total of 6 possible locations for these keys in a post.

As soon as there is better material and more accurate descriptions, we will update the article.

You can find the keys at these locations:

  • Key No. 1: Right after you have defeated Boomer, you will be in a waiting area. To the left of this area is a generator. To the right, there is a kind of restaurant area. There you will find a button. Activate the generator and the button at the same time, and the key box No. 1 should now appear in the restaurant area.
  • Key No. 2: After you have defeated Weasel , you will rappel down into a backyard. The second key is behind this door:
Source: Imgur
  • Unfortunately, players have not yet figured out how to get this key. However, you can see the key box from the right angle with the camera. So far, players have only been able to find three switches in the immediate vicinity of the door. As soon as it is known how to open the door, we will update the article.
  • Key No. 3: After the area with key No. 2, you will walk through a contaminated corridor. On the right side, you will find a double door. Throw a grenade into one of the windows above the door, and it should now open.
  • Key No. 4 (Do this before No. 2 and 3): The fourth key is located in an elevator, which is in an area later on. Cross the backyard mentioned with key No. 2, ignore the enemies at key No. 3, and run through until you reach a luggage claim area. At the back of the luggage claim area is an elevator with a timer. When this runs out, the elevator door closes, and you cannot get the key anymore. Therefore, you should collect No. 2 and 3 only afterward.
  • Key No. 5: Before the boss fight with Razorback, you should not turn right towards him, but instead turn left. In a corner, you will find the 5th key box.
  • Key No. 6: The sixth key is apparently only obtainable through a bit of luck. Some players report that they received it as a drop from the boss Razorback. However, some ended up empty-handed.

Revan10492 wonders whether you may need to defeat all the bosses in one go to obtain key No. 6. This is currently unclear. We will keep you updated.

Are there more keys? This is currently unknown. It is quite possible that players will find more keys.

Have you already found keys or even completed the raid? Let us know in the comments.

Fortnite: Reddit loves this hiding spot on the Season 9 map – Here’s how to use the spot as well

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

On the map of Season 9 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is an interesting secret hiding spot that is already gaining a lot of praise on the US forum Reddit. We will show you the hiding spot in Neo Tilted.

How was the hiding spot found? A player shared his special discovery with the Fortnite Reddit community. “I accidentally found a new hiding spot,” writes user IcySmooth.

In his video, the player is seen in a Fortnite match being pushed through a wind tunnel in the new location Neo Tilted. He gets maneuvered by the airflow, hits a house wall, and then slowly glides down the wall.

He then lands behind a neon sign with writing, stands safely, and realizes that he has found a hiding spot. We have embedded the video here for you. If you can’t see it, just follow this Reddit link.

Where is the hiding spot in Neo Tilted? The location Neo Tilted is the new Tilted Towers. This had been farewell in Season 9 when it was flattened by the volcano.

The new map of Season 9 in Fortnite has been altered in some places.

In the northwest of Neo Tilted, the hiding spot is located. It is in grid square D5. You can see the spot more clearly on the map.

Fortnite Sign Location Neo Tilted

Once you arrive there, just look for the yellow sign at the corner of the houses. It has the text “Mmmmm!” animated, which runs over the sign along with a smiley.

If you want, you can build a stairway up here or fly, as seen in the video, with the help of the wind tunnel.

Fortnite Sign Hide

We tested how it looks for others when players stand behind the sign. Aside from the lower legs, most of the character disappears behind the sign if no very large outfit is worn. In our test, you can see the silhouette of the teammate because we are in a team.

Will Epic remove the hiding spot? In the thread on Reddit, players already warned that Epic will definitely remove this hiding spot if it gets a lot of attention.

In response to this concern, Sean “MrPopoTFS” Hamilton replied on Reddit. He is the Community Coordinator for Epic Games. Initially, he posted a pair of eyes as an emoji. A player then responded, “Please don’t remove it. We can make some sneaky plays there.”

Hamilton writes, “It will definitely not be removed. I just wanted to let you know that I see you =). Happy hiding!”

So it seems this hiding spot will remain on the Fortnite map. Are you going to try it out and surprise opponents there?

Blizzard is doing hardly any overtime on WoW: “We have become much better”

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

There are repeated reports that too many overtime hours are worked in game studios. However, such “Crunch Time” is supposed to be avoided at least in World of Warcraft. That is at least the goal of chief developer John Hight.

This is Blizzard’s goal: In an interview with Eurogamer, the lead developer of World of Warcraft, John Hight spoke about the working conditions at Blizzard. It included, among other things, the pressure on the developers:

Our policy is generally that we want to be a “No-Crunch-Team”. We haven’t fully achieved that yet, but it is already significantly better than it was 5 or even 10 years ago. I believe only very small parts of the team need to work overtime.

Nevertheless, there are some employees who work longer on their own initiative. Especially when larger patches or expansions are on the horizon, Hight sometimes has to walk around and urge people to go home. The work will still be there the next day.

WoW Chief Developer John Hight
John Hight

How has Blizzard improved? One of the main reasons why developers now have to work less overtime is the duration that WoW has already existed. The game is soon celebrating its 15th birthday with a particularly limited collector’s edition.

Accordingly, many developers have been working on WoW or in the game industry for a long time. Hight himself has been in the industry for 31 years. They simply have a sense of what is currently important:

We have a pretty good nose for what is important from a staffing perspective.

Overwatch Blizzard Orc Core Values
The Orc statue at Blizzard – surrounded by the values that are important to Blizzard.

This is how the developers work: Currently, developers release a new expansion every two years, which is roughly equivalent to a new game. In addition, there are three major content patches for each expansion.

In doing so, they pay little attention to how other games like Fortnite grow and work. Updates should come approximately every 11 weeks, and that is the only rough target.

Hight also advocates that content during a larger patch, like in the upcoming Patch 8.2, should come “over time.” It would be better if new content arrives when one is ready for it, instead of feeling “rushed.”

WoW Azshara Patch 8.2

Why are fewer overtime hours important? Hight mentions a very pragmatic reason for why fewer overtime hours are important: After eight to ten hours of work, one simply is no longer productive enough.

Overtime, as it is presumably also stated for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, is therefore not particularly beneficial for the development of a game, according to Hight. Those who overdo it can even work themselves to death.

A similar policy is also followed by the head of Path of Exile:

After 2 years, Destiny 1 is finally selling this sought-after ship again

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 1, there were always rare ships that were sold at intervals by the shipwright Amanda Holliday. One of these coveted ships is currently available: CX20 Misfit, which has only been available four times for purchase. On May 21, 2019, it will be available for the first time after 2 years.

What kind of ship is this? The coveted ship is the CX20 Misfit. It is a rare ship, belonging to the blue rarity.

The Misfit is a ship of the Kestrel class, thus it has similarities with the other Destiny 1 ships of this class. However, the Misfit has a unique coloring, petrol with golden accents.

How do you get the ship? The ship will be sold by Amanda Holliday in the Tower hangar for the next three days. Guardians have to pay 7,520 Glimmer for the treasure, but the ship will not only land in your inventory, but also in your kiosk, the Destiny 1 version of the collection. If you accidentally dismantle the ship, you can always retrieve it from your kiosk.

Destiny 1 Cx20 Misfit
This is the CX20 Misfit.

In Destiny 2, players currently find an old friend from Destiny 1 again.

What is special about the ship? The special thing is that the ship has only been sold four times in the entire history of Destiny 1. According to Game Rant, the CX20 Misfit was sold in October 2014, in June 2015, and in February 2017, so it has been more than two years since Guardians could last purchase the ship.

Amanda Holliday only has a limited number of ships and Sparrows in Destiny 1. She offers each player five vehicles, and the models change every few days. Therefore, the likelihood of a particularly desired model being present is relatively low.

What do the players say? The news about the rare ship quickly made the rounds in the Destiny subreddit. The prospect of this special ship seems to delight the Destiny 1 veterans.

Some players announced they wanted to log back into the original or reinstall the game just to buy the CX20 Misfit. Apparently, some collectors still lack the ship to have “truly” completed Destiny 1.

Fortnite: How to find Fortbyte #72 in Salty Springs

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale has seen Fortbyte #72 appear. Where you can find Fortbyte #72 at Salty Springs is explained here in our Fortbyte guide.

Where is the Fortbyte? Fortbyte #72 is only indicated in the game as “found in Salty Springs.” So you have quite a search ahead of you. But if you don’t want to rummage around for long, you can find out here where the Byte is located. It’s in grid square F7 on the Fortnite map of Season 9.

There, in the western part of the city, lies an overturned truck. You can also recognize it by the barriers that are set up around it.

The Byte is simply sitting in the driver’s cabin of the truck.

fortnite-fortbyte-72-map

This is how you can collect the Fortbyte: Previous Fortbytes usually had a condition that you had to fulfill to actually get it. This is not the case this time. You can simply approach the Fortbyte and collect it normally.

fortnite-battle-pass-9-titel-01

However, it still holds true this time that you should be careful. Numerous players are also on the hunt for the Byte. And while there are true gentlemen and ladies who let you collect the Byte in peace and only shoot you later, there are plenty of rogues who have no qualms about taking you down.

So be careful and explore the area beforehand. Or you can go to the Fortbyte in Salty Springs later in the match when most players are already done.

Is there also a video? Here we have embedded a video for you, in which you can see the location of Fortbyte #72 very clearly. Have fun searching!

What are Fortbytes and how do you collect them all? The so-called Fortbytes are electronic puzzle pieces that you gather throughout Season 9. There are exactly 100 of them until the season ends. Every day, a new byte appears in the game. In the end, you can unlock the new, still secret bonus skin of Season 9 with the bytes. However, you need a total of 90 out of the possible 100 Fortbytes.

We have put together an overview of all Fortbytes so far for you:

The Division 2 responds to complaints that the raid is too hard

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Since the raid in The Division 2 was released, there have been discussions about the difficulty level, especially on PS4 and Xbox One. The developers have now responded.

What led to this reaction? It was only on May 19 that the new raid of The Division 2 was completed for the first time on PS4 – three days after release. The team was congratulated by Community Manager Ubi_Johan in the Subreddit of The Division: “Very impressive work, guys! You have my deepest respect for completing the raid.”

This quickly led to critical reactions. The user getRAWed responded: “Very impressive to create a raid that no regular player will ever complete!”

What is the problem with the difficulty level? Many fans believe that the raid is simply too hard. Especially on consoles, some players are calling for adjustments. Ubisoft has now responded to this as well.

The raid is supposed to be “the toughest challenge in franchise history”

What does Ubisoft say about the criticism? Ubi_Johan gave a general statement on Reddit. In this, he addresses the difficulty level:

The raid is strongly designed to be the toughest challenge in the history of the franchise. It is built around the idea of a well-coordinated and communicating team.

Nevertheless, future adjustments are not ruled out.

[…] since the release of “Dark Hours” we have particularly focused on feedback regarding the difficulty level, and it’s not outside our realm of possibilities that we will make adjustments in the future.

Ubi_Johan, Community Manager at Ubisoft
Source: Reddit

What exactly these changes could look like, he left open. So, we will have to wait for information on upcoming updates.

Differences between consoles and PC

Is the raid harder on consoles? Some are calling for the raid to be adjusted on consoles. They believe that the difficulty level on Xbox One and PS4 is significantly higher.

As evidence, many point out that consoles were only able to complete the raid after 3 days. While the raid on PC was cracked within 5 hours.

division 2 raid x3 (1)

The main reason is attributed to the controls. With mouse and keyboard, shooters can generally be played better, which naturally results in a different difficulty level.

In the past, fans also discussed the differences between PC and console versions of The Division 1. Even in the predecessor, completion times differed massively between consoles and PC.

Even back then, controls were identified as a factor. However, those weren’t the only differences players were pointing out.

You can read about what the problem was back then in our corresponding article:

WoW Classic starts 1st stress test – only the toughest can participate here

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The beta of World of Warcraft Classic will soon start its first stress test. But anyone who wants to participate has to stay awake until deep into the night.

Some players are already enjoying the beta of WoW Classic, but many fans are still eagerly waiting for access to get a firsthand impression of the vanilla version of the game. For a few hours, this dream may now come true, as World of Warcraft is hosting its first stress test.

For us in Germany, however, this means that the tests will take place late at night.

WoW Ragnaros Classic title thirteenth attempt please please 2

The stress test is based on American times: It will take place on Thursday, May 23 at 1:00 AM and will go until 3:00 AM. These times are so late because it is early evening in America due to the different time zones. Therefore, anyone in Europe who wants to participate in the test has to pull an overnight shift.

Those who do not get into the beta can just create their characters instead.

Many players are expected to receive invitations: To ensure that the test truly takes place under extreme conditions, many additional players will be invited beforehand, who will then be able to play during the stress test. You can see if you were selected in your Battle.net software. Select the menu item for “World of Warcraft” and check under the “Region / Account” tab if the item “Beta: WoW Classic” or “Beta & Stress Test” is available. If so, you can download the client directly.

Stress test servers will remain somewhat active afterwards: If you cannot make it in time for the stress test, for example because you have to get up early, you might still have a chance to play. The stress test servers will actually remain active even after the 2 hours, until 3:00 AM on May 24.

No “normal” beta servers during the test: During the stress test, the other “normal” beta servers of WoW: Classic will not be available. Blizzard wants to ensure that as many players as possible participate in the test to evaluate server load and identify potential areas for improvement.

How can you participate in the beta? To be admitted to the stress test or the general beta of World of Warcraft Classic, you have to register separately for the beta. We have explained how that works here.

Have you been invited to the stress test or are you already enjoying the beta of WoW Classic? Or are you still hoping for your chance to return to the original Azeroth?

In the MMORPG Camelot Unchained, you create and name your abilities yourself

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The PvP MMORPG Camelot Unchained offers an innovative and unique way to equip characters with abilities. Players build their skills themselves – with effects, resources, and names.

How does it work? In a new developer stream about the current state of the game, the developers of Camelot Unchained talked about the abilities of mages and other classes.

The “Ability Builder” was also mentioned, which was already seen during the presentation of the new UI. With this, you can create abilities yourself while playing. You simply choose the corresponding skill type and adjust it through specific properties, focuses, and optional reagents.

We have embedded the complete stream for you below. The information about the mages starts around minute 7:45, and the information about the ability builder begins at minute 24:30.

This is what the abilities look like: The developers explained some abilities using the example of the mage. You build a skill of the mage from the following components:

  • Rune: determines the initial effect like damage, damage over time, slow
  • Form: determines the shape of the spell like ball, wall, cone, arrow
  • Focus: determines whether a spell should use a focus. Focuses can improve spells
  • Infusion: determines which reagent enhances a spell

The possible selection for the “Flame Warden”

Runes and forms are quite self-explanatory. Focuses are like staffs that channel the spells. You can choose whether you want to use a focus and whether the spell should still be cast if the focus is not active. Some spells are stronger with the correct focus.

Infusions are even more exciting. They add effects to spells like longer duration or a knockback. You can find many reagents, like human bones, from killed player opponents. So you have to obtain the resources in the sieges or the large battles of Camelot Unchained.

At the end of the creation process, you can even give your spell a unique name and an icon. If you don’t do this, a generic name will be used that corresponds to the effects.

Camelot Unchained Ability Builder

What classes are available? Currently, the classes of archer, melee fighter, and mage are available. The mages differ between the factions:

  • The Arthurian have “Flame Warden”
  • The Túatha Dé Danann have druids
  • The Vikings have “Wave Weaver”

At least among the mages, different mages also have different options to customize spells. However, they can also use abilities from other classes like archer, just not as effectively as spells.

  • The possible selection for the “Wave Weaver”
  • The possible selection for the druid

The options are currently limited but already diverse. However, the developers plan to possibly implement even more options.

Don’t want to wait that long? These MMORPGs will be released in 2019:

Black Desert: Player reaches level 65 in the MMORPG – After thousands of hours

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

A few days ago, a player reached level 65 on the Russian servers of Black Desert. To reach this level, he had to grind for many thousands of hours.

What is special about level 65? On the second weekend of May, the player ZaNoZa from Russia reached level 65. He is the first player to achieve this milestone on the Russian servers.

The achievement is impressive, as the effort required for this level is enormous. Black Desert has no maximum level. Up to 60, you can make reasonable progress and also unlock skills. After that, it becomes brutal.

A graphic from 2016 illustrates the increase in experience points up to level 63. A staggering 5,045,149,378,800 (over 5 trillion!) experience points are required for this level. By the way, level 63 was first reached by the player Witch-E-Lahng from South Korea.

For the now reached level 65, one needs over 20 trillion XP, which is four times the number shown in the graphic. This milestone was even acknowledged by the Russian Black Desert team.

Half a year for a level

Thus, there is an interview with ZaNoZa on the official Black Desert website. In it, the player revealed that the milestone cost him up to 10 hours of gameplay daily.

The path to level 65: On December 15, 2018, the Russian player reached level 64. After that, he decided to play a bit and not actively grind further.

This changed after he passed the first 50% toward the next level. From then on, he started playing 5 to 10 hours daily. ZaNoZa spent most of his time especially at the Mirumok Ruins in Kamaslyvia, both alone and in groups.

The worst phase, according to his own statements, was during the last 4-5%, which felt particularly slow. Although he did not reveal exact gameplay hours in the interview, reaching the previous levels must have cost him thousands of hours.

In the interview, ZaNoZa also thanked the many helpers without whom he would not have reached level 65 so quickly.

Is ZaNoZa the first player at level 65? Just before the Russian, a player from Taiwan snatched the title for the first achievement of level 65 worldwide.

Issie accomplished this step on April 12, 2019. According to Reddit, there is at least one more Taiwanese player who has also achieved the feat.

ZaNoZa didn’t make it for the first place, but he is definitely one of the first among over 18 million registered players in Black Desert who have reached level 65.

When will the first Western player reach 65? The American player Breeya reached level 64 at the end of November. Currently, he seems to be less than 1% away from level 65.

The last update on this was given about 24 hours ago. So, a promotion for Breeya could come soon.

What can we expect in 2019 in Black Desert? The roadmap gives an overview:

More and more players in Fallout 76 are visiting player shops, but not for shopping

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

With the new update in Fallout 76, players can now open their own shops. This is a feature that the community seems to really enjoy, but for more reasons than just the obvious.

What do players do when they are not shopping? The player shops introduced with Patch 9 for Fallout 76 now act as a kind of hub for characters of all levels and as a sort of meeting point.

If a player opens a shop in their C.A.M.P., this shop also functions as a fast travel point on the map. This allows players to go directly to the corresponding locations. Many also use it to simply see the great C.A.M.P.s that the community has created.

To attract buyers or visitors, some players even actively promote their shops. One particularly dedicated player has even created a real ad clip in the style of American retail.

This is how it affects the game: Many players report that they frequently meet other players in the player shops with whom they can interact or who can assist them. In some player shops, there are always several players who are browsing the store or the C.A.M.P.

Reddit user EnigmaT1m writes in a post that running such a shop has even become a kind of “full-time job” for him. When customers are present, he advises them and chats with them. If no one is there, he waits on the porch, listens to music, or reads books.

Players are increasingly saying that especially these shops serve as a kind of “social hub” that brings the community closer together. No wonder then, that some ambitious fans opened shops even before the feature was released.

Players become missing NPCs

As Kotaku writes, players are becoming the new NPCs in Fallout 76. The lack of human NPCs was long a reason for criticism of the game because players simply lacked interactions with other beings.

The fact that players have already dressed up as NPCs from older Fallout installments to embody them did little to help. However, the player shops and the interaction between players apparently provide a remedy.

Kotaku author Lauren Morton writes about her experience after meeting two high-level fellow players in a shop who helped her:

They were the quirky element of surprise that Fallout 76 was missing: two talkative residents in a remote rest stop. They were my NPCs, and I was theirs.

In this way, the shop owners themselves are NPCs who are there for players to interact with.

If you prefer to shop with NPCs, you can now also visit the legendary merchant:

FIFA 19: Here are the predictions for the Bundesliga TOTS

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19 the Bundesliga’s Team of the Season might be released on Friday. Here are the predictions for the Bundesliga TOTS.

The Bundesliga TOTS: As with the Community TOTS, fans also had the chance to vote for the new TOTS cards in the Bundesliga TOTS. The voting is now over and the Bundesliga’s Team of the Season is just around the corner.

We will find out on Friday whether the Bundesliga TOTS will actually be released next and which players will be included, but we can already get an idea with the predictions of which players might make it into the team.

What are TOTS cards? During the TOTS event (Team of the Season), new Teams of the Season are released every Friday with significantly improved special cards.

Example using the current Ibrahimovic TOTS card
Example using the current Ibrahimovic TOTS card

The new TOTS ratings are really strong, with upgrades of 6-10 points in overall rating being quite common.

The Prediction for the Bundesliga TOTS

These predictions come from futbin:

Goalkeepers:

  • GK: Yann Sommer (Mönchengladbach)
  • GK: Peter Gulacsi (RB Leipzig)

Defenders:

  • CB: Willi Orban (RB Leipzig)
  • RB: Joshua Kimmich (FC Bayern)
  • RB: Danny Da Costa (Eintracht Frankfurt)
  • LB: Jerome Roussillon (VfL Wolfsburg)
  • LB: Marcel Halstenberg (RB Leipzig)

Midfielders:

  • RF: Thorgan Hazard (Mönchengladbach)
  • CAM: Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)
  • CM: Julian Brandt (Leverkusen)
  • CDM: Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund)
  • CAM: Kai Havertz (Leverkusen)
  • CAM: Kerem Demirbay (Hoffenheim)
  • LM: Filip Kostic (Eintracht Frankfurt)
  • CM: Maximilian Eggestein (Werder Bremen)
  • CAM: Ondrej Duda (Berlin)

Forwards:

  • RW: Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)
  • ST: Robert Lewandowski (FC Bayern)
  • ST: Luka Jovic (Eintracht Frankfurt)
  • ST: Yussuf Poulsen (RB Leipzig)
  • ST: Paco Alcacer (Borussia Dortmund)
  • ST: Wout Weghorst (VfL Wolfsburg)
  • ST: Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim)

When is the release? Presumably, the release of the Bundesliga TOTS will be on May 24. However, this cannot be said for sure.

When the team is released, the cards will be available for one week in packs.

How to Get the New TOTS Cards

From Packs: You can generally draw TOTS cards from the following sets:

However, it is quite unlikely to actually get a good TOTS card from packs. Therefore, do not invest all your coins in the expensive packs.

On the Transfer Market: It is definitely wiser to look for your desired TOTS players on the transfer market. However, prices here, especially at the beginning of each TOTS, are still quite high.

Waiting a bit may be worthwhile, as even TOTS cards drop significantly in price over the course of the event.

Why you should definitely get this weapon before Season 7 starts

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, Season 7 starts on June 4. The new exotic pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak could be one of the big winners and should not be missing from any Guardian’s arsenal.

This weapon is about: Almost a month before the end of Season 6, Bungie introduced a new weapon exotic: the pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak. Essentially, it is a returner from the predecessor title that quickly became one of the top weapons in PvE in Destiny 2.

What makes the weapon special and what it and your exotic masterpiece catalyst can do, you can read here: Perfected Outbreak – How the new exotic weapon shakes up Destiny 2

Why the weapon could be important in Season 7

A number of factors now indicate that this strong weapon could also play an important role in the upcoming season. Therefore, it is worth acquiring this firearm along with its masterpiece catalyst before the new season begins and, if possible, leveling the catalyst by then.

The weapon’s performance: In PvP, many Guardians see the new pulse rifle as a solid choice, but the Outbreak can really shine in battles against PvE enemies.

There, the firearm is useful in combat against larger enemy groups, but the Perfected Outbreak truly unfolds its potential against bosses.

In conjunction with other Guardians using these weapons, a Guardian with the Perfected Outbreak can obliterate almost any strike boss, raid end boss, major or blocker, as well as ancient enemies in no time. It has proven to be a true killer in boss encounters.

Remember that this is a primary weapon that is not dependent on power ammo and is still quite effective without stacking damage buffs.

Moreover, the weapon’s full damage potential has not yet been fully tapped. The Outbreak is likely to become even more powerful with a fully leveled catalyst as a masterpiece.

The Outbreak remains (for now?) unaffected by nerfs: Additionally, it is noteworthy that some strong weapon exotics like Whisper of the Worm or Lord of Wolves will be nerfed for Season 7. Although Bungie has not disclosed all sandbox changes for the Season of Opulence, the Outbreak is currently not affected by these nerfs.

Unless a nerf occurs, the weapon will likely maintain its strong performance in the upcoming season. Thus, you would already have one of the currently best weapons in your arsenal right at the start of the new content – especially for PvE content.

Season 7 leviathan

This firearm could prove particularly important in the new raid, which starts on June 5, right at the beginning of the season, especially due to its boss-killer qualities. If you want to get started with the raid right away, you should have this weapon with you – it could definitely pay off.

By the way: For Season 7, not only will some exotics be nerfed: Destiny 2 plans to nerf two of its best PvP hand cannons soon

What exactly makes it so strong? The combination of two perks. This allows the weapon to increase its damage in certain situations.

Users of the weapon benefit from the buff effect of other users, allowing the weapon in conjunction, for example in a group with 6 Outbreaks, to achieve sometimes exorbitant damage values for a primary weapon. Up to 50,000 per shot is possible – mind you, with a primary weapon.

The masterpiece catalyst is likely to increase the weapon’s damage even further. Therefore, the effort for the Perfected Outbreak is definitely worth it.

How to get the weapon: The Perfected Outbreak is tied to its own exotic quest. At the end, you will receive the weapon itself and unlock a heroic version of the final mission “The Hour Zero”. Through this mission, you can earn and level the catalyst for the weapon. You can find more about it here:

What we know so far about Season 7: Bungie has already revealed some official details about the upcoming Season of Opulence. Additionally, fans have their own theories and there are some exciting rumors. You can read more about it here:

This rumor gives hope to fans of Game of Thrones and Dark Souls

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

The author of Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin, has stated on his blog that he has been working as a consultant for a Japanese developer. There were already rumors in March that the author would be collaborating with FromSoftware, the creators of games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Who is it about? George R.R. Martin has commented on the future of the brand on his blog after the end of Game of Thrones. He also wrote about what he has been busy with instead of finishing his book series “A Song of Ice and Fire.”

According to him, he was a consultant for a video game being developed in Japan.

Now, rumors are rising again that GRRM might collaborate with FromSoftware. The Japanese studio is known for the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The latest game from FromSoftware was the ninja game Sekiro.

What is being rumored? In March, the first rumors surfaced that George R.R. Martin and FromSoftware are collaborating. The game is supposedly to be an open-world RPG set in a medieval world.

The Gematsu website claims to have heard alleged information about the upcoming project. According to a source familiar with the work at FromSoftware, the game is supposed to bear the initials “GR” and has reportedly been in development for three years.

The game is said to be an open-world game where players travel on horses. The title is said to be a collaboration between Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, with Bandai Namco as the publisher. The game is reportedly to be presented at the E3 press conference of Microsoft.

A recent post on the 4Chan website fuels the rumors even more. None of this has been confirmed so far, so the alleged information should be taken with caution:

FromSoftware rumor GRRM
This alleged description of FromSoftware’s next project comes from 4Chan. Source: VG247
  • The next game from FromSoftware is said to be titled “Project Rune” and will be released for multiple platforms
  • It is supposed to be inspired by Norse mythology and feature creatures like frost giants, draugr, and nekkens
  • It could be a spiritual successor to Dark Souls, but with drastic changes
  • It is described as a “dark medieval fantasy ARPG,” that is, a dark fantasy ARPG set in a medieval world
  • There are supposed to be three characters that players can choose at the start of the game: a hunter with a longbow, a warrior, and a mage who casts spells from a spellbook
  • There will be multiplayer. Players can invade the worlds of other players like in Dark Souls and either cooperate with them or try to kill the host.
  • The story is supposed to revolve around a kingdom in a civil war. The three selectable characters serve the king. The other knights serving the kingdom disappear in search of a mysterious artifact.
  • A trailer is supposed to be shown at the upcoming E3 2019

Where do the rumors come from? Besides the recently published post on 4Chan, the rumors are mainly based on a YouTube video that was already released in March. The video discusses several clues pointing to the next project from FromSoftware. The involvement of George R.R. Martin is also mentioned in the video.

Ironsight: Will the online shooter make a fresh start with the big update?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Gamigo has released a major update for the online shooter Ironsight, aiming to give the game a fresh start. However, players report that the transition is not entirely smooth.

What is Ironsight? Gamigo’s futuristic free-to-play online shooter Ironsight places you in the year 2025. You fight for the last resources of the Earth.

  • You can expect several PvP and PvE modes.
  • Drones play a significant role in battles, offering interesting tactical options.
  • You operate in a clan and fight against other clans.
  • Over 100 weapons are available to you.
  • You can customize your hero with skins.
  • The environment in the 12 maps can be destroyed.

The update aims to pull the shooter out of a tough period

How was the shooter received? After the open beta, the game still faced technical issues. There were crashes, performance problems, and balancing concerns. The game has gone through a challenging phase. Thus, the developers have now released the major Phoenix update, which is supposed to signal a restart.

What does the update bring? A number of new features and changes are making their way into the game.

  • The weapon balancing has been adjusted.
  • The developers optimized the maps.
  • There is an improved ranked mode.
  • The drone system has been revamped.
  • The user interface received an overhaul.
  • A battle pass has been introduced, offering seasonal challenges and daily tasks.
https://youtu.be/UE7jkTRKGnM

There are still problems

What do players think of the update? The community is divided over the update and the changes it brings. There are still technical issues such as lags. For some, the update cannot be installed at all. In particular, repair costs and weapon balancing are criticized.

Chinaski_the_HATER comments on Reddit: “Repair costs are now incredibly high. All the weapons are ruined, and I see no new content.”

Others do not see it quite so critically and are happy about the update.

leokinss says: “I am very grateful for the update. However, I am struggling with performance issues.”

Nitebot explains: “This looks like a very interesting update. There are bug fixes and much more – that’s good.”

What has the update brought? So far, the Phoenix update for the online shooter Ironsight has not been as successful as hoped. The developers still have a lot of work ahead. However, they have rekindled interest in the shooter. Even players who stopped months ago want to take a look at Ironsight again.

Will the developers succeed in making Ironsight a sort of free Call of Duty now?

These are the 5 best Pokémon of the new wave in Pokémon GO

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are 16 new Pokémon. But which Pokémon is really useful? We will go through the newcomers with you.

These are the Pokémon: Last Friday, May 17, 16 new Pokémon were introduced to the game. Among them were the two Evoli evolutions from the 4th generation and other strong Pokémon.

But are many Pokémon worth it? Which Pokémon should you run to as quickly as possible if it’s nearby? We will clarify this for you.

The 5 best Pokémon of the new wave

Place 5: Hippoterus: The evolution of Hippopotas is of Ground type. It also masters the powerful Ground attack Earth Power.

Hippoterus
Hippopotas and Hippoterus
  • Attack value: 201
  • Defense value: 191
  • HP value: 239
  • Maximum CP: 3085 CP

The values of Hippoterus are all decent, but no value really stands out. As a Ground attacker, the Pokémon has too much competition and as a defender, it cannot stand up against Heiteira, Chaneira, and Relaxo. All in all, it is a solid Pokémon that does not stand out significantly.

Place 4: Folipurba: The Grass evolution of Evoli can only be developed through name trick or the new lures. It masters numerous strong Grass-type attacks.

Folipurba
  • Attack value: 216
  • Defense value: 219
  • HP value: 163
  • Maximum CP: 2944 CP

Folipurba has strong attacks, but not so good attack values. Therefore, the Grass Pokémon does not rank high among the best Grass attackers. However, anyone looking for a good alternative to Roserade or Gewaldro will find it in Folipurba.

Place 3: Magnezone: The evolution of Magneton can only be obtained through the new lures. The Pokémon is of Steel and Electric type.

Magnezone
  • Attack value: 238
  • Defense value: 205
  • HP value: 172
  • Maximum CP: 3205 CP

Magnezone is one of the best Electric attackers in the game. It competes with Raikou and Elevoltek in the top 3 ranks. It also masters the attack Thunder Shock, which is the best Electric attack in the game. So, it is worth leveling up a Magnezone.

Place 2: Glaziola: The Ice evolution of Evoli can also only be developed using the lures or the name trick. As an Ice attacker, Glaziola is quite useful.

Glaziola
  • Attack value: 238
  • Defense value: 205
  • HP value: 163
  • Maximum CP: 3126 CP

The values of Glaziola are good, but there is still Mamutel as an Ice attacker who casts everything in its shadow. However, in some situations, Glaziola comes close behind. So if someone doesn’t have a good Mamutel, they should definitely rely on Glaziola.

Place 1: Knakrack: The final evolution of Kaumalat is clearly the highlight of the new wave. The Dragon and Ground type Pokémon outshines all others.

Knakrack
Knakrack together with its pre-evolutions Kaumalat and Knarksel
  • Attack value: 261
  • Defense value: 193
  • HP value: 239
  • Maximum CP: 3962 CP

Knakrack is one of the best attackers of Dragon and Ground type. It is the best non-legendary Pokémon in the game and scores with a solid attack value. A good Knakrack is something every player should have on their team.

In addition to new Pokémon, there was also a new attack. We will tell you whether it is worth it:
