Fortnite will be offline today, May 22, on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android) for a new patch to be applied. How long do you have to wait and what will be included in the update? MeinMMO has all the information.
What is happening in Fortnite today? As in every week, Fortnite developer Epic Games will take the servers offline to apply a new update. However, unlike previous weeks, you will have to wait longer this time.
Epic has announced that the maintenance will take longer this week. Battle Royale players can look forward to a new mode and Save the World enthusiasts to a dinosaur companion!
Was a total success: The Wick game mode
Fortnite servers going down – when and for how long?
When does server maintenance start? As usual, you can join a new game until 9:30 AM. After that time, it will no longer be possible to avoid game interruptions at the start of maintenance.
At 10:00 AM German time, the servers will be completely shut down. Fortnite will then no longer be accessible.
How long will the downtime last? Epic has announced via Twitter that players should expect an extended downtime this week. There is no exact timeframe and the reasons are unknown. However, you should be able to log back in by early afternoon.
If maintenance takes significantly longer, you will find out here on MeinMMO, just like the patch notes for 9.10, which we will provide shortly after maintenance starts.
These contents will likely be included in update 9.10!
What does update 9.10 bring for Battle Royale? After the total success of John Wick and the Avengers, the event that is likely to start today will revolve around one of the greatest basketball players of all time: Michael Jordan. Epic has given a corresponding hint with a teaser.
The details on how the event or a corresponding game mode will be structured are still unknown.
This is included in the update for Save the World players: Epic has presented the contents for the upcoming weeks in a recently published roadmap on Reddit. PvE players can look forward to the following contents:
New Dino Soldier
War Games – Space Rocks
Additionally, there will likely be the usual bug fixes in both the PvE and PvP parts of Fortnite.
Are you looking forward to the update and the new game mode?
The new game from CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077, is eagerly awaited by fans. However, four former developers allegedly wanted to go public with a story that the development of the project is as rocky as that of Anthem. This is now being reported from the USA.
Where does this information come from? US journalist Jason Schreier wrote a large insider report on the development of the SF shooter Anthem in early April. For the report, he spoke with various sources at BioWare. There were issues with overtime, poor management, and a lack of leadership in the development of the online shooter.
It was said that for years, little progress was made in development, decisions were lacking, and development was often scrapped. In the last 18 months, everyone at BioWare had to work overtime to get it finished. People worked themselves sick to meet the schedule, so that Anthem would be released during EA’s current fiscal year.
According to Schreier, after the report, four former employees of CD Project Red contacted him to say that there were similar problems in Warsaw during the development of Cyberpunk 2077.
This is what the ex-developers said: One of the ex-developers reportedly wrote to him in an email (via Kotaku):
I feel that you could draw 100 parallels from the rocky development history of Anthem and the rocky and even rockier history of Cyberpunk 2077. You would only have to change the name of the game and it would have sounded very similar, almost the same.
An anonymous developer in an email to the US site Kotaku
CD Project Red aims for less overtime with Cyberpunk 2077
This has now happened: Schreier has conducted an interview with Marcin Iwiński, one of the co-founders of CD Project Red, and Adam Badowski, the head of the studio.
Schreier believes the interview may have happened because CD Project Red has been following Kotaku’s reporting on the overtime culture in the gaming industry and wanted to preempt a revealing report about Cyberpunk 2077.
In the interview, CD Project Red states that it wants to ensure that its developers are treated with the same respect as the players.
Therefore, they do not plan to have the same crunch time for Cyberpunk 2077 as they did for Witcher 3. It became known during its development that employees had had to work numerous overtime hours.
Especially in the final stages of Cyberpunk 2077’s development, they want to do better than at the end of the development of The Witcher, Badowski promises in the interview.
They now ensure that everyone knows that overtime at CD Project Red is not “mandatory”. Even if a supervisor asks their employees to work longer, they can decline without anyone holding it against them.
The co-founder Iwiński states that they wanted to go public with this statement to make it more binding and to allow employees to hold them accountable.
This way, they aim to improve in the area of “overtime”.
Why is CD Project Red crunching at all? Badowski points out that the development of a game often takes four or five years. For three years, there is no crunch. Only at certain times, like before E3 , they crunch, otherwise, everything runs “super normal”.
We are talking about the very last rounds before the release – those are always difficult to organize and problems often arise. It is very hard not to use all forces in the end.
There are unique individuals that cannot be cloned – rather, they must work on very specific tasks. They are then asked to spend more time on their tasks because there is no other way.
There are severe turbulence in Destiny 2 after the recent announcement on Friday. Players are upset about the many nerfs coming with Season 7 on June 4. It seems the good “Go Fast” direction that Destiny 2 has pursued since March 2018 is in danger, leading to talk of a new “Go Slow” era.
Bungie states that they want to ensure that raids or other endgame content in Destiny 2 remain challenging with these adjustments.
Some of the items are so powerful that they simply overwhelm the challenge. They cannot just keep making gear stronger, hence this step.
455 comments on MeinMMO and a lot of anger
This is the reaction of the Guardians: The reaction of the players of Destiny 2 is overwhelmingly negative.
Alone on MeinMMO, there were 455 comments on this topic and you have to search hard to find someone who shows understanding for the announcement:
BlackPanther0815 says: Overall, I find the constant up and down nerfing to be too much; trust in the manufacturer is virtually gone, and a great deal of frustration is slowly spreading.
JoeMido991 says: The Whisper is just really good for the runners and the Titan – see Bergusia Forge or Zero Hour. But instead of adjusting the enemies, they nerf the weapon. The weapon is not the problem, it’s the inability to design the enemies well.
Back then, Bungie analyzed that they had taken the balance in the base version of Destiny 2 too seriously and had tried to make all weapons and items equally good. Apparently because they wanted to make Destiny 2 suitable for eSports.
In the process, they apparently lost a lot of the “space magic” and now want to bring it back.
With the “GO Fast” update, it was said that it was okay for some nails to stick out; they didn’t have to be hammered down immediately. If a weapon was too strong, they preferred to try to bring other weapons up to that level.
Subsequently, there have always been “too powerful” weapons, such as Whisper of the Worm or most recently Perfected Outbreak.
With the upcoming nerf, the Guardians believe Bungie is reversing this policy. Therefore, Bungie should name the patch the “Go Slow” update right away.
After Destiny 2 recently seemed to gain many points with the quest for Perfected Outbreak, the mood is now dampened again. Let’s see if that changes with the start of the new raid and the new season on June 4.
In The Division 2, there is a new exotic weapon available exclusively through the Raid Operation: Dark Hours. Here’s how you can obtain the new automatic rifle Eagle Bearer.
Operation: Dark Hours, the first raid in The Division 2, has some cool rewards to offer. In addition to three new gear sets, there is also a new weapon, the exotic assault rifle Eagle Bearer, which can only be obtained through this new PvE endgame activity. We’ll explain how you can get this weapon exotic there.
How to earn the Eagle Bearer in The Division 2
What exactly do you have to do for this new weapon? Earning the weapon isn’t really complex, but it’s far from easy. There’s no way around the raid, but even there you will have to put in some serious effort for the Eagle Bearer. Additionally, you’ll need a good portion of luck on your side.
Because there is no method to earn the new firearm directly. Currently, this new exotic assault rifle can only be obtained in two ways:
Boss Drops: After each of the four boss encounters in the raid, you have a chance to receive a drop of the weapon.
Loot Chest: There’s also a chance to get this weapon from the locked loot chest at the end of the raid. For that, you need the corresponding keys. So far, 6 different key locations are known.
In short: You need to kill bosses in the raid if you want the weapon, which has turned out to be quite challenging, especially on consoles. If you’re lucky, you’ll have an additional chance through the chest. Reports suggest that the weapon is very rare. So you can expect a considerable amount of grind.
What can the new exotic assault rifle Eagle Bearer do?
Visually, it’s a variant of the assault rifle P416. But the talents are truly exotic. Will the Eagle Bearer compete with the Nemesis sniper ? Those who enjoy playing in a Rambo fashion will likely have a lot of fun with this new exotic.

Here are the stats of an Eagle Bearer (Gear Score 500):
Damage (DPS): 16,400
Shots per Minute (SPM): 750
Magazine Size (MAG): 60
Reload Time: 1.9s
Critical Hit Range: 10 – 50 meters
Here are the talents of the Eagle Bearer:
Eagle’s Strike
Precision increases by up to +100% when firing continuously.
Kills by headshots grant +100% reload speed, +35% damage, and the Tenacity buff for 10 seconds.
The strength of Tenacity is increased by 1% for each consecutive body shot and by 5% for each consecutive headshot.
Tenacity
20 – 80% of incoming damage is reduced (depending on the number of stacks), until this buff effect expires. After that, the bearer will take the damage that was previously absorbed. Each kill during the Tenacity effect reduces the damage that the bearer will take after the effect ends by 20%. After 5 kills, this damage is completely negated.
Protected Fire
While the weapon is holstered, you receive 10% bonus armor while firing with your currently equipped weapon.
Overwatch celebrates its third birthday and has once again launched the “Anniversary Event.” We show you all the new skins that can be earned.

In total, there are 11 new skins available in 2019 that players can earn. Click on the images to enlarge them.
How to obtain the skins? As usual, the skins are obtainable from loot boxes, which can only be purchased or earned with real money during the duration of the event. If you have accumulated enough credits, you can also buy a coveted skin directly with credits and thereby bypass the random element.
A legendary loot box is free: Anyone who logs in during the event receives a legendary loot box for free. As the name suggests, one item in this box is guaranteed to be of legendary quality. Even if you are not playing currently, it is still worth logging in at least once.
How long does the event last? The Overwatch Anniversary 2019 runs from May 21 (today) to June 10. You have exactly three weeks to earn the desired content.
The Workshop is now live: The patch also brought a new feature, namely the Workshop. Here players can create their own game modes and even prototype their own heroes. However, this requires a bit of programming experience. Some of the crazy examples can be seen in these articles:
In Pokémon GO you can now catch 485 Pokémon. Some of these Pokémon have special traits that make them particularly rare. We will show you the rarest ones.
What kind of Pokémon are these? If you enjoy playing Pokémon GO, you are also familiar with the numerous bugs in the game. Sometimes these errors also affected Pokémon, giving them special traits.
There are Pokémon that could learn an attack for just a few minutes, or that appeared in their shiny form for only a very short time.
The 6 Rarest Pokémon in the Game
To give you a little taste of the upcoming Pokémon, here are 2 Pokémon that are already very rare, but not yet comparable to the glitched Pokémon.
Letter “Q” from Unown: This letter is probably the hardest to get in Pokémon GO. It has been hardly seen at any event, and Unown rarely appears in the wild. However, this letter is theoretically always available, so it’s not quite that rare.
Unown are very rare Pokémon. The letter “Q” is probably the rarest.
These two Pokémon are already very rare, but now follow much rarer versions of Pokémon.
Rank 6: Blaziken with Stone Edge
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Blaziken itself is not a rare Pokémon. Recently, there was a Community Day with Torchic. The special feature here is the attack.
Blaziken with Stone Edge was available for only a few hours.
This is how this Pokémon was available: When the 3rd generation was released, the starter families came into play. For a period of about 20 hours, Blaziken could learn the attack Stone Edge during its evolution.
Niantic probably did not want Blaziken to have this attack. They removed this move the very same day. Anyone who evolved Blaziken right then may have received the Fire Pokémon with Stone Edge.
Rank 5: A Lucky Pokémon with Bad IVs
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Usually, a Lucky Pokémon has good IVs. However, there is also an exception where these Pokémon could have bad IVs.
Lucky Pokémon with bad IV – This was only available for about 2 hours.
If you traded Pokémon diligently at the beginning of this feature, you could obtain a Lucky Pokémon with stats below 10/10/10. Nowadays, every Lucky Pokémon has at least a 12 in each stat.
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Normally, mysterious Pokémon like Deoxys cannot be traded. However, there are some players who own Deoxys as a Lucky Pokémon, meaning it has indeed been traded.
This is how this Pokémon was available: Due to a bug, Deoxys could be traded for about an hour. Most players only reported this bug after it had already been fixed. Hardly anyone took advantage of this opportunity.
If you actually traded a Deoxys during this short time and it became a Lucky Pokémon, then you have one of the rarest Pokémon in the game.
Rank 3: Gastrodon with Earthquake
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Normally, Gastrodon cannot learn Earthquake, but only the Ground-type move Mud Bomb. However, there was a short time when it could still learn this move.
You won’t find a rarer Pokémon: A Gastrodon with 100% IV and Earthquake. Source: Reddit
Anyone who evolved Shelmet into Gastrodon during these 12 minutes was able to obtain the Pokémon with the move Earthquake. Very few players likely did this, as no one expected that Shelmet would disappear after just 12 minutes.
Rank 2: Ninjask with Bite
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Just like Gastrodon, Ninjask also has a move that it could only learn for a short time. It can no longer learn the move Bite.
For a few minutes, Ninjask was available with the move Bite.
During this error, some players received Ninjask with the move Bite. This move, just like the Zapdos glitch, was only available in the game for a few minutes. You needed to have your research breakthrough at the right time and then catch a Ninjask with Bite.
This is how this Pokémon was available: When the movie event ended, there was about 1-2 minutes to encounter such a Pikachu. To do this, you had to take a photobomb of this Pikachu just before the event ended and then catch the Pikachu after the event ended.
You also had to be lucky enough for this Pikachu to become shiny. The chance for this is 1 in 450. So far, there are only two known sightings of this rare shiny worldwide.
Do you own one of these rare Pokémon? Do you know similarly rare monsters? Let us know in the comments!

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?
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.
You will also find a guide for the Solar configuration with us shortly. But what else does the new week have to offer?
Nightfall Strikes from May 21st on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
These are this week’s Nightfall Strikes:
The Arms Dealer
Savathûn’s Song
Will of the Thousands
This activity requires a power level of at least 540 recommended by the game. Experienced teams can tackle the Nightfall with a lower power level as well.
If you’re looking for an additional challenge, you can customize the Nightfall Strikes using Xur’s challenge card. However, plan your loadout for this activity in advance, as equipment will be locked for the duration of a Nightfall Strike.
The Flashpoint can be tackled this time in the Tangled Shore. You will also receive a Powerful reward for completing the marked heroic adventure there.
Ada-1 has all powerful weapon patterns ready for you.
For 20 random bounties, you can earn a Powerful reward from Ikora Rey. Loyal Vanguard supporters will also receive their weekly Loyalty Reward from her. Drifter followers receive this from the Wanderer.
If you collect 5,000 Clan XP this week, Hawthorne will also reward you generously. With her bounties “Which Witch?”, “All for one, one for all” and “Friends?” you can also earn additional powerful loot.
Petra Venj has settled this time (Curse Week 1) at the pavilion in the area “The Shore” of the Dreaming City. Complete her mission, the Ascendant Challenge, and 8 of her daily bounties, and you will receive Powerful loot for each of these tasks. This week, by the way, the 2nd Ascendant Challenge is live.
From Spider, you will receive the weekly bounty “Lootcaller“. As a reward, there is also a Powerful reward here.
The Raid Challenge takes place in the Royal Baths.
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.
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.
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”.
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:
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.

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.
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.
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?
Have you heard about this cool hiding spot on the Season 9 map?
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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?
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.

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.
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.”
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
