The first players can already dive back into World of Warcraft: Classic. Are you also in the beta? You can easily check this.
As announced, the beta of World of Warcraft Classic is now live. The first players can already play and experience Azeroth in its original state from many years ago. However, many players are still hoping for beta access, which scammers like to exploit.
This is how you recognize if you are in the beta: Typically, you will be informed by an email from Blizzard that your account is now enabled for the beta of WoW: Classic. Alternatively, you can also check this directly in the launcher.
Simply start your Battle.net software and select the menu entry for World of Warcraft. Click on “Region / Account” and go through the corresponding entries. If there is an entry for “Beta: WoW Classic,” then you can download the game client immediately and start playing!
By direct invitation only: Blizzard has emphasized that, as in the past, there will be no “keys” as access for the beta of WoW: Classic. If someone offers you such a thing, it is a scam attempt. Access to the beta will only come from Blizzard, by directly enabling your respective Battle.net account.
Are you in the beta of World of Warcraft: Classic? Or are you still waiting in vain for access and cursing the world because everyone else has access, but you don’t?

In recent years, the Steam sales have often been shared with the community through leaks days before the official announcement.
How credible is the leak? As Steam Database writes on Twitter, the leak has already been confirmed by several sources. Although the leak comes very early, it sounds plausible.
However, keep in mind that there is no guarantee for the date of the Summer Sale due to this leak. This will still have to be officially confirmed.
What does the Steam Summer Sale bring? Gamers expect many offers with discounts on games and software on the Steam platform. The selection has been large in recent years, ranging from indie games to strategy games to video editing software.
Popular AAA games have often been discounted on Steam in the past and have been attractive during such sales.
Many gamers are especially looking forward to this event in summer to buy their desired games at a lower price. So if there are already a few games on your wish list, you might want to hold off until the Summer Sale to possibly buy them at a discount.
Several times a year, there are such sales on the Steam platform. These include winter, autumn, and spring sales.
Still not sure what you could buy in the sale? Maybe these MMOs will be discounted:
Originally, the pirate MMO Skull & Bones was supposed to be released in the fiscal year 2019/2020. However, Ubisoft has postponed it again in the latest financial report. A release of Skull & Bones will not happen before April 2020.
When was Skull & Bones supposed to come out? It was originally planned for 2018. Then it was postponed to the fiscal year 2019/2020, so it should have been released by the end of March 2020 at the latest – probably, there was even a release date set for 2019.
But now Ubisoft has postponed Skull & Bones once again in the current financial report for the fiscal year 2018/2019.
So when is it coming now? According to Ubisoft, we shouldn’t expect Skull & Bones until after the fiscal year 2019/2020. This would be the case at the earliest in April 2020 and at the latest by the end of March 2021.
Why is it coming so late? The reason given for the first delay was that more time was needed to provide players with an even more immersive experience. However, Ubisoft has not provided any specifics regarding the current delay.
What else is Ubisoft planning? Ubisoft is quite active in the fiscal year 2019/2020. They plan to release a total of 4 AAA titles, meaning games with substantial budgets. So far, only the recently announced Ghost Recon Breakpoint is known. Possibly, there will also be a new Assassin’s Creed set in a Viking-era.
What is Skull & Bones anyway? Skull and Bones originated from the idea of turning the exciting naval battles from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag into a standalone game. You are essentially controlling your pirate ship and sailing through the oceans in search of loot.
The new LoL champion Yuumi has now been unlocked in League of Legends. But players are concerned. The win rate is extremely low. What is the reason?
What is new? For about a day, you can play the new champion in League of Legends. This is Yuumi. The little sorceress is already well-received by players due to her appearance.
Fans could hardly wait to try out the character in the game after the cat was introduced. But now, after the first few hours, it turns out: She is probably not as strong as she is cute.

How rarely do players win with Yuumi? A post on Reddit about Yuumi’s win rate is extremely popular. After over 13,000 matches that took place at least in platinum ranking, Yuumi’s win rate was only 29.71%.
As the user LookAtThisGraphs explains, this is the lowest win rate that any new champion or a champion after a rework has had on day 1. As proof, he posts a statistic from Lolalytics.com. Meanwhile, 14 hours after the Reddit post, Yuumi’s win rate is 30.91%.
The comparison with current win rates: Nami’s win rate is about 53%, Thresh’s about 51%, and Sona’s about 55%.
Why is Yuumi’s win rate so low? Players say
This is what the fans demand:On Reddit, calls for buffs and hotfixes are being made. There is hope that developers will adjust Yuumi’s stats so she heals more and deals more damage. Additionally, the champion should take more damage.
Reasons for the low win rate: For many players, it is clear that the low base stats and low AP scalings are the reason why Yuumi has such a low win rate.
The fact is that Yuumi represents a whole new kind of supporter with her abilities. She can make herself invulnerable by connecting with an allied champion. Then they cannot attack enemies. Apparently, this ability is being used too strongly, leaving the ADC out in the open.
This is what players say: Player Praius writes, “I mean, are we really surprised? Her entire kit is filled with low numbers. And her base stats are awful. It doesn’t help that her only hard CC is her ultimate.”
Player SynGaren writes: “I believe the only possible way to win with her is as a duo with Veigar. Otherwise, she is just worthless.
Her Q has the lowest poke damage in the game
Her W grants 3-40 AP (half for AD) and only if she has been fed and maxes W
Her E is the weakest healing spell in the game
Her R is extremely hard to hit, tied to an ally, and does no damage
[…] I really think support Evelynn would have a higher win rate.”
Are players just playing Yuumi wrong?
Another thread later became popular on Reddit. It is titled “People are playing Yuumi completely wrong”.
The thread creator, Awesome359, addresses in his post that players are simply handling the new champion incorrectly. Just connecting with an ally and then being half AFK would “never be effective”.
“In the bot lane, you need all the health points you can get. This includes shields, healing spells, and current health points. If Yuumi connects with a champion, the effective health points of the bot lane are reduced by about 400. And all spells and attacks can be directed unimpeded at the ADC,” writes Awesome359.
He says that you should stay “out” with Yuumi until you are almost dead. This way, you can block attacks from enemies that would otherwise reach the ADC. When you are almost dead, you connect with the ADC and become invulnerable.
In the comments on Reddit, you can now often read that the win rate will probably stabilize in the next few weeks. For now, they are testing builds and masteries as well as playstyles to get the most potential out of Yuumi.
It is possible that Riot will still buff Yuumi’s stats if the developers think they are too low. On the other hand, players may just be lacking the right playstyle to win.
Now it is official. The first raid of The Division 2 will not offer matchmaking. This is how the developers explain this design decision.
This announcement sparked numerous heated debates: Since yesterday, May 14th, there are many confused fans of The Division 2. The reason for this was a tweet from a marketing manager at Ubisoft. In this announcement, in response to an explicit inquiry from a fan, the upcoming raid “Operation: Dark Hours” will not offer matchmaking. This not only led to numerous question marks but also to various angry reactions.
Why the confusion? In principle, all activities in The Division 2 are supposed to offer player searching. Massive has emphasized this multiple times, and this statement is also recorded in official information materials about the game. Hardly anyone could imagine or understand that it should be different in the long-awaited raid – especially in the most challenging group activity.
This is how Massive justifies this decision: Now it is official. The raid will indeed not offer a matchmaking feature – at least not at the beginning. This has been confirmed by Yannick Banchereau, the Live Content Manager of The Division 2, in the current edition of “State of the Game”.
According to his words, this was a conscious decision that was made after numerous internal debates. It was justified by stating that matchmaking in the raid, in the opinion of the developers, could simply not provide a good experience for random groups.
The new raid is supposed to offer an unprecedented experience in The Division. It is not comparable to the incursions from the predecessor. For this raid, one needs to prepare intensively, plan and organize many things in advance – from forming a team to loadouts. Throughout the course of the raid, much will depend on communication.
All of this is extremely important for Operation: Dark Hours. But this is exactly what random teams would lack. These usually enter such activities unprepared, often do not speak the same language, or have other communication issues. For these reasons, they ultimately decided against matchmaking in the raid.
Nevertheless, it is understood that solo players or smaller groups also want a chance at the raid. Therefore, they will closely monitor fan feedback and continue this discussion. Everyone should have a chance at the raid. But at the beginning, when everything is still fresh and waiting to be discovered, they wanted to create precisely that experience – namely without group searching.
Players are supposed to experience the raid as something very special. They should plan, organize, and communicate. All of this is crucial to the special experience that this PvE top activity is supposed to offer.
Everything important about the raid launch: If you want to get started soon or even directly at the raid launch, you can find everything you need to know about the first raid of The Division 2 here.
The 3rd GO Fest for 2019 takes place in Japan! Pokémon GO has confirmed its announced event for the Asian region. German players could also benefit from this.
Now we know that it will take place in the Japanese city of Yokohama. The GO Fest will be held alongside the “Pikachu Outbreak” event, which is organized annually in Japan.
GO Fest in Yokohama – What do we have from it?
When does the event take place? No exact date has been announced yet. So far, it has only been stated on the Pokémon website that the Pikachu Outbreak will take place between August 6 and 12. It’s possible that the GO Fest will also take place around this time.
A GO Fest will take place in 2019 in Yokohama
What will be at the event? So far, nothing is known about the special Pokémon at the 3rd GO Fest. A picture is still missing, which the other events already have.
However, it can be assumed that a regional Pokémon will be available to catch, as well as special forms of Unown. Plaudagei is expected to be the regional Pokémon since the other two Regional Pokémon of Generation 4 were already present at the other fests.
In The Elder Scrolls Online dragons are the new super monsters that you will encounter constantly in the new addon Elsweyr. The developers now explain why the dragons look so impressive.
These are the special features of the ESO dragons: In depicting the dragons, the primary focus was on ensuring that they are massive monsters. Such a beast has a certain heft.
When they take off, fly, and land, one must clearly notice, according to the developers, that it is a heavyweight creature that cannot just turn around on the spot. The dragons even required their own pathfinding routine, which no other flying creature in the game has.
In addition, the dragons have a magical aura. Because dragons in ESO are not just thick monsters. They are intelligent creatures consisting of magic. Their language plays an important role. A dragon does not simply breathe fire; it “speaks” fire and ignites everything. Anyone who has played Skyrim knows that the dragon language contains great power.
Besides their flaming breath, dragons have many other attacks. They claw at you, smash opponents with tail whips, and squash you when they dive from the sky.
https://youtu.be/RxG55Li1ADI
This is how the dragons are received by the fans: After the origin of the dragons has been satisfactorily clarified, many fans in the ESO Forum are looking forward to the creatures. Those who have experienced them on the test server rave about the epic battles one can fight against the monsters:
“Dragons are much more fun than dolmens or geysers [the previous open-world events]. The trash dies quickly, but the dragons are really good at killing players who aren’t paying attention. I really like that about these fights.”
“After I have slain several of them in the world and in the raid Sunspire, I can say that they are very, very well done. Both in terms of proportions and details.”
Additionally, many players appreciate that one must approach the dragons with a group.
Have you fought dragons in ESO, and what do you think of the beasts in the game?
In Korea, the first testing phase for the MMO Peria Chronicles took place. On Reddit, players exchange their experiences and present a very mixed picture of the game.
What is Peria Chronicles? The anime MMO Peria Chronicles was first announced by Nexon in 2012 and has been in development since then. The game is planned for PC.
As a player, you can fight, tame monsters, and then use them in battles against new opponents. The system conceptually resembles Pokémon, with the ability to summon multiple allies.
In the first testing phase, 75 different Kirana, the tamed monsters, were available. Unlike in Pokémon, players can also fight for themselves. The player has two skills available. In combat, you can additionally deploy up to eight Kirana.
Another special feature of Peria Chronicles is said to be the content for building your own worlds. This involves creating your own worlds in the skies above the planets. Here, you should also be able to build your own worlds and even dungeons.
How did the first test go: From May 9 to 12, the first public test for the MMO took place. To participate, you needed a Korean phone number and had to fill out a questionnaire.
However, despite the high effort required to participate, some Western players managed to join and have expressed their opinions in various places. Overall, the game received positive feedback, although there are significant differences from the first version shown.
More RNG and changed battles
How does taming monsters work? The Reddit user TheGladex reports in his weekend summary that Nexon made some changes to the taming of Kirana.
To obtain Kirana, you must first go to a location where they live. Then, you kill the corresponding monsters until they drop a card.
After receiving the card, materials must be collected to create a “Contract.” This can then be used to summon the corresponding Kirana in battle.
However, he points out that obtaining the cards and collecting materials is heavily tied to grinding and luck. For him, this game system is extremely satisfying.

What is different about the combat system? Compared to the first images of Peria Chronicles from 2016, TheGladex claims that the combat system has also changed.
While in the old system the drawing of cards and the associated action order played an important role, the tamed creatures now act more like a skill with a cooldown in summoning.
Currently, the combat system doesn’t work smoothly. Some players report a very rigid and boring system. Especially at the beginning, without a certain number of monsters, it is said to function poorly.
The user KachingaSquids reports, however, that the developers in the Peria-Chronicles-Discord have already announced that they will take another look at the combat in the game’s entry.
Missing content and poor performance
What about the building of your own worlds? In the first test, there were no indications of the advertised feature for building one’s own worlds. In the game itself, there were no options for it, and data miners have found no functions in this regard.
Players are now concerned that this system may not be implemented at all.
How was the performance during the first test? Currently, the game seems to be running poorly and is not optimized. The user ama2601 writes:
To be honest, I had so much fun! There are issues, but the game is really beautiful and I hope they fix the creation tools. I could hardly move in these places due to optimization problems [..].
Others also report FPS problems and significant lags. However, the game does not yet have a beta status, and there could still be significant adjustments in terms of optimization.

Blizzard has released a new cinematic for World of Warcraft . Check out what happens to Thrall and Saurfang in “A Homey Place” here.
Quite unexpectedly, the creators of World of Warcraft have just released a new cinematic. It features the meeting of two well-known orcs who have been guiding the Horde for some time. Here you can watch the German version of the cinematic “A Homey Place” with Thrall and Saurfang:

What is to be seen? The old orc Saurfang meets his former companion and once-warlord Thrall. He now lives in seclusion away from the Horde and all conflicts with his family. The two discuss their definition of home and the current state of the Horde. After Thrall refuses to lead the Horde again, Saurfang hopes at least that Thrall will fight for the Horde.
There is an attack by agents of the Forsaken, who want to eliminate both the traitor Saurfang and Thrall. Together, the orcs manage to defeat the attackers and kill them for good.
At the end of the video, we see Thrall retrieving a weapon from a hole in the ground after he had actually withdrawn from the fighting. He is apparently ready to stand up for the Horde once again and fight alongside Saurfang.

When does the cinematic take place? Chronologically, the cinematic is situated between the events of Patch 8.1.5 and 8.2 Azshara’s Rise. This makes sense, as in the upcoming patch Thrall is already at Saurfang’s side and they embark on a joint rescue mission.
What do you think of the cinematic and the portrayal of Thrall? Is it cool and successful?

Data miners have discovered news about John Wick in Fortnite! It seems that a skin is coming to the game that resembles the real John Wick significantly.
This is what the data miners found:Patch 9.01 is here and brings numerous updates related to the film antihero John Wick. A skin was discovered, as well as a gold coin reminiscent of those from the movies.
As early as the big update for Season 9, data miners found hints of an event related to John Wick. Fans also discovered a house on the Fortnite map that strongly resembles John Wick’s estate.
Epic itself also responded to such an event. They presented the fans on Twitter with an emoji puzzle related to John Wick.
This hints at the event with John Wick
This skin was found by data miners: In Patch 9.01, there was a John Wick skin that closely resembles the real John Wick. There was already a similar skin in Season 3 but was presented as “Grim Reaper,” and only the fans called him John Wick because of the strong resemblance. Epic did not yet have the license for the real Wick at that time.
This skin was discovered by data miners.
The current skin looks much more like John Wick and is likely designed for an event related to the film character.
This is what the “John Wick” skin looked like earlier.
This hints at John Wick: Not only the similar skin but also another find shows the connection to John Wick. A gold coin was found that looks exactly like the coin used in the film.
In Fortnite, this coin will presumably be used as a back bling. Or it could be items from a planned mode where players are supposed to collect such coins from dead opponents.
This coin was also found in the patch.
What does Epic say about it? They keep the whole story a secret. On Twitter, they posted an emoji puzzle that seems to hint at John Wick.

When could the event start? The skin and the event finds from the last patch make it clear: There will likely be a John Wick event.
This could start soon, especially since John Wick: Chapter 3 will be released in US cinemas on May 17.
It is quite possible that Epic has entered into a partnership here and wants to promote the film in Fortnite. Something similar happened recently with an Avengers game mode at the launch of the new Avengers film “Endgame.”
Gladd is back in top form: The streamer and YouTuber recently tackled the toughest jumping sections in Destiny 2 and mastered them with the help of a Rock Band drum kit.
This is the mission: Recently, a new mission called “The Zero Hour” was added to Destiny 2, which rewards players with the Destiny 2 version of the Outbreak Prime, the Perfected Outbreak. This mission is time-critical and gives you only 20 minutes to complete the quest.
However, streamer Gladd from the clan Redeem recently took on the challenge and mastered some sections with a Rock Band drum kit. Afterwards, he went back and also completed the labyrinth of the mission for the exotic sniper Whisper of the Worm with the drum set.

How did Gladd do it? Using the different “drums” of the drum kit, Gladd moved his character in various directions. He handled shooting and jumping with the controller buttons on the drum kit.
As Gladd himself writes under his video, the Zero Hour mission was particularly stressful and difficult. The transition from drum control for movement to buttons for shooting and jumping likely caused him to break a sweat.

In WoW: Classic, a sharding technology will be used, but only to a limited extent. We explain what this means.
For some, it will surely be a bit of a dampener, others will see it as necessary: World of Warcraft: Classic will use a variation of the “sharding” technology at launch in August. It is called “layering” and ensures that multiple “instances” of the same continent are available on a realm. However, this is only a temporary measure.
What is layering in World of Warcraft: Classic? Layering is fundamentally similar to “sharding” in the current WoW. It means that if too many players are in the vicinity, WoW will create another version of the respective continent to accommodate additional players in the “new” version of the continent. So, it would be possible that at the beginning, you play with friends on the same realm, but cannot see each other because you are in different versions.
However, there should not be permanently “popping up” players. Once you are in your version of the game, you remain in this version, unless you join a group that is currently in a different version.
Why does WoW: Classic even use layering? The developers assume that the rush at the launch of WoW: Classic will be gigantic. However, not all of the many players who check in at launch will likely stay long. To handle this gigantic initial load, layering is used.
Otherwise, players would find hundreds or even thousands of characters in a starting area and would not be able to make any progress. It is about reducing the initial load for servers and players.

No more layering from Phase 2: It is important to mention that layering is only used temporarily. Currently, it is planned to use this for about 4 weeks, but depending on the popularity of the game and necessity, the time can be shortened or extended.
However, with the start of Phase 2, there will be no more layering. This is the point at which world bosses will also be available. Here, players should have the same challenges as back then – which also means competition for the respective bosses.
In summary, WoW: Classic thus uses a modified sharding technology at launch to manage the initial rush. However, this system is expected to be permanently turned off after a short time and will no longer be used.
Do you think it is good that WoW: Classic resorts to these more modern technologies at launch? Or does this ruin the gameplay experience and should not be active at launch?
It seems that the raid “Operation: Dark Hours” is coming without a player search feature. This has driven many fans of The Division 2 to the barricades. Hardly anyone can understand this decision.
The first raid of The Division 2 – Operation: Dark Hours, which came with the Title Update 3, starts soon. Those who have been looking forward to getting started right on time, even if they do not belong to a clan or have a fixed group to play with, could be disappointed. Because there will likely not be a player search function for the raid.
Update: The Creative Director of The Division 2 has commented on this matter. We have updated the article accordingly.
Where does this info come from? This information comes from an official source. Alexandre Guenounou, who is involved in the marketing of The Division 2, announced this on Twitter in response to a fan’s inquiry.

When the Twitter user cheez asked whether matchmaking for the raid was now confirmed, Guenounou replied: “No, there is no matchmaking. You need to find each other through clan lists and their (clan mates) friends lists, or you invite other players to the social spaces before you start the raid.”
How fans are reacting: Many fans are angry and disappointed, hardly anyone can understand this decision – if it actually turns out to be true.
Because most fans probably assumed that the raid of The Division 2, like all other activities, would have a matchmaking feature. After all, it was stated several times by Massive that there would be matchmaking in all areas of the game. This was even documented in an infographic.
Why it should be different for the raid raises confusion.
Many players were looking forward to the raid but have stated that they depend on matchmaking, as even as a group, they do not always have enough players or do not have a fixed group to play with.
Without a player search, it will now be much harder and more cumbersome to join a raid group or to set one up yourself.
In short: Many players on Reddit and other forums consider this decision a major mistake and call for a change or at least an explanation.
Is there already a reaction? Neither the developers of Massive nor Ubisoft have commented on this matter yet. However, after the huge uproar from fans, Alexandre Guenounou has once again spoken up on Twitter. He explained that he would consult with the Ubi-Massive team and that they would provide fans with a complete overview and explanation of this matter.

UPDATE: Recently, the Creative Director of The Division 2, Julian Gerighty, spoke on Twitter. His response suggests that there will likely indeed be no matchmaking in the raid.
When a fan complained about the lack of player search, Gerighty replied: “Hey Pablo. I understand your point of view. But do you really want to be randomly matched with players for a time-consuming challenge that relies on communication and commitment?”
After this statement, many players can hardly imagine that there could still be matchmaking in the raid.
How would you feel if the raid actually launches without a matchmaking feature? An absolute no-go? Or the right decision?
In FIFA 19 the TOTW 35 (Team of the Week) is now revealed. Here you will learn which players receive new Inform cards.
This is the Team of the Week: EA selects 23 players each week for the Team of the Week. These players have shown outstanding performances in real football and have thus earned improved TOTW cards.
The strongest cards in TOTW 35: The card with the highest overall rating this week is Mahrez (88). However, Lopes (87), Schär (87), and Belotti (87) also have decent Inform cards.
These Bundesliga players are included: The Bundesliga is represented by Delaney (86), Didavi (83), and Kalou (82).
The new card of Thomas Delaney: This is already the third Inform card for Delaney in FUT 19. The card looks really good and promises great performances in defensive midfield.
Third Inform card Delaney (86)
Therefore, FUT players with Bundesliga teams should take a closer look at the new Inform card of Delaney. The values are fantastic and exceed the 80s threshold everywhere. Therefore, this card is likely the best option in defensive midfield for Bundesliga teams at this moment.
Compared to his second TOTW card, he has particularly improved in the following areas:
Speed: 80 -> 82
Shooting: 79 -> 82
Passing: 81 -> 83
Defense: 83 -> 85
The previous Inform cards of Delaney
In fact, the values are even better than those of his very popular SBC card.
This is the Team of the Week 35
All cards in TOTW 35
TOTW 35 – Starting XI
TOTW 35 – Starting XI
TOTW 35 – Substitutes
TOTW 35 – Substitutes
How to get the new TOTW cards
From Packs: With a large dose of luck, Inform cards can be found in these sets:
Bronze or Silver TOTW cards can also be found in the corresponding Bronze and Silver packs.
The probability of actually pulling TOTW cards is, however, very low.
On the transfer market: The transfer market is often the better choice. Here, players are usually found quickly. Only a few TOTW cards are expected to be very expensive, as prices for Inform cards tend to drop significantly during the TOTS event.
Here’s how you can earn coins with the help of the TOTW:
InFortnite: Battle Royale has the 81st Fortbyte now appeared. However, it can only be found at a specific time at a specific location. Where that is, you will find out here.
Where is the Fortbyte? You can find the Fortbyte number 81 starting from May 15, 2019. It is somewhat better hidden than the other Bytes. Because you only have the location description “Cactus Wedge at the top of a mountain”.
Cacti are plentiful in the desert biome in the southeast. However, the prickly plants must grow in a wedge formation. This is only the case with a specific mountain, namely the one in grid section I8. That is the mountain directly southwest of Paradise Palms. The Byte is located near the cacti.
Help, the stupidFortbyte doesn’t do anything! Like with the last Bytes, collecting it is tied to a specific condition. You have to wait until it’s day. Only then can the Byte be touched and picked up.
So you will have to wait until it’s day.
So consider a detour to the Fortbyte only when you start during the day
or the storm zone does not include the grid section I8 with the Fortbyte later
in the game. Otherwise, you might not make it there alive.
Is there also a video? In a video from YouTube, you can see exactly how the Byte and the location look and how to collect the thing.

What are Fortbytes anyway and how do you collect them all? The Fortbytes are puzzle pieces that you can collect in Season 9. There are 100 pieces and each day there is a new Byte. In the end, you can unlock the new bonus skin of Season 9 with the Bytes. You need a total of 90 out of 100 Fortbytes for that.
We have compiled an overview of all Fortbytes so far for you here:
The developers of Mordhau have included a small Easter egg in honor of a deceased YouTuber. With a gravestone and a small addition, a tribute is paid to the British YouTuber TotalBiscuit.
What is this tribute? In Mordhau, there is a small grave surrounded by stones and adorned with a gravestone. A black cylinder hangs on this gravestone, and daisies grow on the grave.
Where can I find the grave? The grave itself can be found on the map “Camp”. Here it is located in the southwest of the map, just outside the Free Guard camp. From the spawn point “Camp”, head towards the stables, going out the leftmost exit when you are facing the river.
From there, follow the road a little way until you reach a patch of grass with some trees. There you will find the grave, next to where the Deserter zone begins. In the video embedded below, you can see the way clearly.

What is the black cylinder doing there? The black cylinder was a kind of trademark for the YouTuber John “TotalBiscuit” Bain. He often wore the hat in his videos and at official appearances.
Who is TotalBiscuit? TotalBiscuit was especially known for his gaming critique on YouTube. He was a strong advocate for transparency and openness and did not sugarcoat his opinions, which earned him great fame but also made him unpopular with some people.

Will the PC Gaming Show become the Epic Games Show?
What is special about it? This year, the show is sponsored by Epic Games. The company announced it will showcase new games and especially present new exclusive titles for the Epic Games Store.
What does this mean? Players are already wildly speculating that many of the titles shown during the PC Gaming Show will be presented as exclusive games for the Epic Games Store. Epic Games could use the show to celebrate its own store.
What is the problem? The Epic Games Store does not have a good reputation in the community due to many exclusive deals. Many feel that the way Epic secures games for the store is aggressive. Furthermore, the Epic Games Store offers fewer features than Steam and is considered insecure by many.
Accordingly, Epic Games sponsoring the PC Gaming Show is also a hot topic of discussion right now.
Stebsis sums up the opinion well on Reddit: “This is less a PC Gaming Show than an Epic Games Show.”
On June 10, we will know which games will be presented and which of them will appear exclusively on the Epic Games Store.
In The Division 2, developer Massive has announced a special prize: the team that completes the new raid first will be immortalized in the game. The prize is likely to boost the race for the World First in The Division 2.
This is how Massive wants to honor the best raid team: As Massive announces in a press release, a very special prize awaits the 8-player team that achieves this worldwide first, defeating the new raid.
A photo of the team and the names of the players will be displayed in the White House of The Division 2, where all players can see it.
White House in The Division 2
The team will be the first whose characters are made “immortal” in The Division in this way, ensuring their legend lives on.
What about the other raid conquerors? This special prize is only for the first team:
However, players who complete the raid in the first week, from May 16 to May 23, will also receive a reward. They will get an arm patch.
Those who complete the raid afterwards will receive a clan banner and a special icon for the clan.
And hopefully, there will be useful loot as a reward waiting for all agents, which can only be found in the raid.
Celebrating World First Kills is on trend
Who does that anymore? There are two well-known online games that have particularly celebrated “World Firsts”:
In WoW, every raid has a special achievement for the server first guild.
The leading players of their respective guilds were rock stars in their time. For instance, the raid leader of the then-famous WoW first guild Nihilum, Kungen, has since started a streaming career.
A cult around the World First race has emerged in WoW.
Destiny also has such World First races. The last ones played out similar to what we see now in The Division 2, with staggered rewards.
In the race for the World First “The Lament” at the end of 2018, players were even awarded a belt.
The race for the raid “The Last Wish”, which was considered particularly tough, was even more intense. A team led by YouTuber Datto raided for 24 hours – yet they fell short by 2 minutes for a special award.
For their achievement of being the first to complete a special quest around Whisper of the Worm, a fireteam was gifted a photo – which they didn’t receive in the game, but were sent instead.
Here’s what it’s about: The games use this to generate a “buzz” around their raids and want to particularly honor PvE players and stimulate their ambition.
They aim to achieve this with tight time limits and cool ego-strokes for the best.
The Division 2 is taking an interesting new approach here with the in-game photo.
Recently, a developer at Ubisoft announced via Twitter a new installment in the popular series Splinter Cell. But in the end, it was probably just epic trolling.
What was tweeted? Julian Gerighty is the Creative Director at Ubisoft’s MMO shooter The Division 2. However, according to a tweet he posted recently, he seems to be involved in a sequel to the beloved Splinter Cell series.
Because Gerighty posted a tweet in which he, along with Ubisoft colleagues Dan Hay (Executive Producer Ubisoft Montreal) and Roman Campos Oriola (Creative Director Ubisoft Montreal), enjoys a few glasses of red wine in Lyon.
It states, “We are working on the new Splinter Cell!” Additionally, it was hinted that the game would be shown at the upcoming E3 2019.
The whole style of the tweet gives the impression that it is indeed a kind of unofficial announcement of a new game. Also, Julian’s follow-up tweet, in which he implies that he shouldn’t have said that, fueled the fans’ expectations.
This is how Ubisoft reacts: But Ubisoft soon responded and denied everything:
“Julian was obviously just having fun, as Julian tends to do. It seems that our Creative Director is just having a lot of fun. We have no announcements to make at this time.”
According to Ubisoft, Julian probably decided to troll the Splinter Cell fans a bit out of a wine mood, even though there are no plans for a new game in the series.
Is there really no new Splinter Cell? However, speculation about a new game continues to persist. Why didn’t Gerighty simply delete the old tweet? And Ubisoft has only stated that they “currently” do not want to announce anything. Perhaps something related to Splinter Cell will appear at E3 2019 after all.
What do you think? Was the tweet carefully calculated to ignite hype? Or did a developer just have fun at the expense of the fans?
Usually, only streamers and professionals get paid to play Fortnite, but now even an ordinary amateur could earn $1000 just for gaming.
This offer is about: It sounds like a dubious ad that ends up in your spam folder, but it is completely serious. The company “HighSpeedInternet.com” will pay you $1000 if you play Fortnite for them for 50 hours.
In the process, you should also test the new internet connection of the company that they want to market and see if it runs smoothly.
This job is offered to you by the company
This is what you get: For the job, you’ll not only receive $1000 but also a year of free internet and a new modem. All together, this is supposed to be worth $3000.
This is how the company advertises its job offer
What do you have to do for it? Your task is to play Fortnite for 50 hours. You should then stream this on Twitch. You have about 3 weeks to do this, which you can organize for yourself. Additionally, you should report how the company’s fast internet improved your gaming.
There’s a catch: If you are actually interested in this job, you will need a work permit in the USA and must be at least 18 years old. This is required by the company.
Does this sound like a dream job? Anyone who enjoys gaming Fortnite should actually want to take on this task. Many hobby players can easily manage to play 50 hours in a month. However, one must also consider that you cannot play just whenever you want but have to go live on Twitch and reach this number of hours within a certain timeframe.
You could earn $1000, but would you want to do that?
If you break it down over the limited time, you must play at least 2 hours daily to reach the goal. This could get quite stressful alongside a real job.
