The MMORPG Astaria has been developed by one person for three years. This individual has an interesting vision that resembles more of a Pen & Paper role-playing game.
What is Astaria? The MMORPG places great importance on social interaction in groups. In the sandbox, you have a lot of freedom, but teamwork is always important.
You fight together as a server against the impending darkness.
You create your heroes from six classes.
The quests and battles are designed for groups.
In the team, you use powerful combo attacks.
There are no disadvantages to acting in a party.
Crafting plays an important role.
It is necessary to conquer areas that are occupied by monsters.

Players versus Developers
What is special about Astaria? Not only is the MMORPG developed by just one person, but it also features an interesting approach that strongly resembles Pen & Paper RPGs.
The game uses a so-called PvD system, Players versus Developer. In this setup, the developer continually intervenes in the game, alters situations based on the actions of the community. This is intended to create a vibrant world where players constantly need to adapt to new challenges.
What else does the game offer? Astaria aims to be a hardcore challenge. This means that survival elements like eating and drinking are important and you must heal wounds.
Your items can break or you lose everything you had when you are defeated in battle.
In general, the difficulty level is meant to be very high.
The MMORPG Astaria will soon enter its early access phase.
What payment model does the game use? Astaria will be released as a Buy2Play game at a price of €19.99. After the early access phase, the price is expected to increase.
In The Division 2 , Massive initially wanted to raise the Gear Score to 515 – but has now changed its mind. This is the decision for the harder path, says our author Schuhmann. A decision that says a lot about Massive’s plans.
That’s why the increase of the Gear Score seemed so obvious: It was actually planned to raise the maximum Gear Score to 515 with the next update of The Division 2. With this, The Division 2 wanted to solve a main problem:
If players were promised 515 loot in the Dark Zone, it would have been a bait.
Even if players weren’t interested in the Dark Zone, they would have gone in, gritted their teeth, and cursed and complained while getting the best loot in The Division 2. That’s just how players in loot shooters operate.
Additionally, Massive would have followed the usual conventions and easily solved other problems:
In the raid, there is the best gear – and the best gear is the one with the highest item level
As the game progresses, there is stronger equipment – players then have to exchange their items, are motivated to do something new, and stay engaged
If there is to be the best loot in raids to motivate players to raid, then the loot must have abilities that are better or distinctly different than normal loot, but in a clever way and not just through “more power” like with the DIY king
This is interesting: Massive is not purist in this case. The Division 2 still works with “enhanced rewards”, so they assure that players will receive more items with item level 500 and that the items can be farmed in a planned manner.
However, they are holding off the actual “upgrade” of the Gear Score for a later time, when more time has passed to make the increase in Gear Score more significant.
This is the signal: This decision is an investment in the longevity of The Division 2 and shows that Massive has confidence in its ability to motivate players without resorting to the “cheap” method of simply tweaking the numbers.
We expect that the update will go live on Thursday, May 16.
The Chinese tech giant Tencent has made a daring maneuver to earn 14 million US dollars in just 72 hours. This happens with a replacement game for PUBG Mobileand a maneuver that is indeed quite brazen.
This is the background: Tencent has had the rights to PUBG for the Chinese market for some time and has also developed a mobile version there. In China, people are crazy about mobile and PUBG.
Suddenly, the government there saw the enthusiasm for mobile gaming critically, and PUBG could not generate revenue. The regulatory authorities refused to grant a license for new games.
Now, however, new rules are active: China is allowing new games again, but they must conform to their socialist values. There should be no corpses and no blood anymore; instead, a more beautiful picture of China should be drawn.
PUBG is, however, a game in which people shoot each other and only one survives. Not exactly socialism in its pure form.
This is how Tencent solved the crisis: Tencent closed the game “PUBG Mobile” and released “The Game for Peace,” which is essentially PUBG. The data from PUBG Mobile are automatically transferred to “Game for Peace.”
This “new” game pays respect to the “People’s Liberation Army Air Force,” the Chinese air forces.
Additionally, the game is playable only from the age of 16, and players between 16 and 18 may only play two hours a day.
The violence in the game has also been toned down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RzIxatssCM
The trailer for PUBG – Game for Peace
This is how successful it is: As reported by the South China Morning Post, the action was a complete success. The game generated a huge buzz on social media:
Some fans were happy to finally have a “permitted” version of the game
Others mocked the fact that the socialist version of PUBG Mobile comes without blood
In any case, “Games of Peace” was a financial success for Tencent. According to early reports from Sensor Tower, the title earned 14 million US dollars in 72 hours. Additionally, the iOS version was the most downloaded free game in the Chinese Apple Store last Friday and has earned the most money.
The stock of Tencent rose on the Hong Kong stock exchange – after this daring, “socialist” action.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there are recently recurring kill zones that can instantly kill you. The latest one has emerged with the reconstruction of Tilted Towers.
What are kill zones? The term “kill zone” refers to places in Fortnite: Battle Royale that can simply kill any player who enters them due to bugs. There is no protection against it. Anyone who visits the location dies instantly and without any clear reason.
The latest kill zone is also near Tilted Towers, or rather its new form Neo Tilted.
Where is the latest kill zone? As seen in a video on Reddit, the new kill zone is at a slope south of Tilted. More specifically, in grid square D6, on the eastern edge, toward the river.
In the video, a player tries to grab a supply drop and some of the items slide down the slope. The player wants to follow them and as soon as he steps on the slope, he dies instantly.
At first, one might think that an extremely precise sniper was at work, but the game text clearly says, “You have eliminated yourself!” The teammate shortly thereafter shares the fate of the first player and also dies at exactly the same spot. It indeed appears to be a kill zone.
Reactions to the new kill zone at Neo Tilted
This is how the community reacts: As always, when a kill zone appears, the community responds with mockery and fun:
“I first thought you fell to your death and it was just a joke”
What does Epic say? It seems that the bugs with the kill zones are becoming more frequent. So far, Epic has always fixed the errors promptly.
There is apparently no official statement from the developers yet, but one can assume that the new kill zone will soon be removed again. Possibly with the next patch, which is expected this week.
How long does the quest take? The event quest for the battle-hardened Nergigante started on May 11 and ends two weeks later on May 24.
What rewards are there? For defeating the battle-hardened Nergigante, you will receive materials to craft the Nergigante Gamma set.

What’s new? PS4 players can also beautify their system with the new dynamic theme of Nergigante.
It is available in the PlayStation Store for €2.99. You can watch how it looks here:

In FIFA 19 there are now Predictions for Team of the Week 35. Read here which players could be part of the next Team of the Week.
What are TOTW Predictions? In the TOTW Predictions, the community tries to predict which players might make it into EA’s Team of the Week based on their performance over the weekend.
Often, some of the predicted players can actually be found in the Team of the Week.
Neymar could receive a Top Card: With one assist and one goal, Neymar showed a brilliant performance after a long injury. His second Inform card in FUT 19 would be an absolute Top Card in Team of the Week 35.
Mario Götze was named Man of the Match in the game against Fortuna Düsseldorf and contributed, in addition to a strong performance, one goal to the 3:2 victory. It would be his second Inform card in FUT 19.
Waldemar Anton, center-back from Hannover 96, scored the opening goal in the 3:0 victory over SC Freiburg. A place in TOTW 35 would mean his first special card.
Salomon Kalou significantly contributed to the victory against FC Augsburg with his 2 goals. He would also receive his first Inform card should he make it into the TOTW.
Then the TOTW 35 will be released: On Wednesday, May 15, the new Inform cards for Team of the Week 35 will be released. From 7 PM, the improved cards will be available in packs.
Keep in mind that Predictions are never 100% reliable. There can be significant differences from the actual TOTW from EA.
Gamigo announced a merger of the EU servers of the MMORPG Rift. However, this leaves many questions unanswered, which dampens the mood in the community.
What has Gamigo announced? On June 5, the European servers of Rift will be merged. In the end, there will only be one cluster with the following worlds:
Brutwacht (German) (PVE)
Brisesol (French) (PVE)
Typhiria (English) (PVE)
Cahail (Hidden – Used for balancing dungeons, raids, and warfronts.)
These servers will disappear: Bloodiron (PVP), Zaviel, Gelidra & Refuge will merge with Typhiria (PVE).
A move with open questions
Why is this merger taking place? According to the new operator of Rift, Gamigo, server performance and efficiency are to be improved.
What about PvP? There is no longer a population to justify a separate open-world PvP server. Therefore, there will be no such world in the future.
What questions remain unanswered? Gamigo basically only announced the server merger, but this has larger implications for the players. The community has some questions about the merger:
What about players who have the same name? Who has to rename their character?
What if players have more characters than character slots after the transfer? Since 50% of the EU servers are being closed, many could face major issues.
Do guild banks need to be emptied before the move?
What about emails?
Is it an automated transfer?
What about guilds that have the same name?
Players are slowly getting annoyed
How are players reacting? Moving to a new server is generally problematic, as players may have to come up with new names for their characters and essentially lose their virtual “home”.
What is the biggest issue? Especially those who have a lot of characters on individual servers fear losing some of them due to the merger. The number of character slots is limited, and about half of the worlds will be closed. Some heroes could be left behind.
This is currently upsetting the community: However, the move itself is not the main problem. Because if it has to happen, then so be it. But the large number of unanswered questions and the lack of responses so far are leading to a poor mood in the community.
Ambrodel writes in the official forum: “And as usual, the announcements lack the important information to understand the upcoming process.”
Islesi says: “The answers to these questions literally determine whether I leave the game or not, because I have invested a lot of time in my characters and do not want to lose them.”
But there are also soothing voices, such as Holyroller12: “It won’t happen before June 5, so there is enough time to answer the questions.”
Therefore, there is another problem: The move alone is not currently the only issue. Recently, a switch to the “Google Cloud Platform” technology took place. Since then, Rift players have been complaining about poor performance, lags, and disconnects in Europe.
Rift fans are wondering when there will finally be improvements. Will the move bring better performance? Will things worsen further if more players are active on fewer worlds? There are currently no answers from Gamigo regarding this.
The fans of Rift feel somewhat abandoned at the moment. Generally, there is very little happening in the MMORPG. The last major announcements – the Battle Pass and now the move – have left out important information.

A special enemy in Destiny 2 is currently the reason for numerous panicked reactions, exasperated faces, but also memes and funny videos. Do you already know Tr3-VR?
It’s about this enemy: Recently, a new enemy has been spreading fear and terror in Destiny 2. The encounters with him can only be survived with luck, because there is really nothing you can do against him.
If you hear him or, worse, if you see him, it is often already too late, and it means certain death. It’s about Tr3-VR, a kind of … – no idea what it’s supposed to be. Some kind of rampaging janitor robot, shredder or mulcher. In any case, a really nasty killer machine.

Where do you encounter Tr3-VR? If you have earned the new exotic pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak, you are guaranteed to have had the pleasure. Those who are currently trying to earn the weapon or plan to do so will also have to get acquainted with Trevor, as the community has dubbed him.
Shortly before the encounter, the disaster is announced in a rather unspectacular way
Because during the mission “The Hour Zero”, you will inevitably encounter this killer robot in a passage of the Tower.
What is so nasty about Tr3vor? In the corresponding mission passage, you run like a little hamster through the corridors of a small maze. There you have to activate four switches to open the exit and get to the next area. It sounds easy and straightforward, but Trevor is the catch.
If you see Trevor like this, it’s usually already too late
This killer shredder hunts down everyone looking for a way out of the maze. He appears at seemingly random spots and then moves through the narrow corridors.
If you see a flickering red light accompanied by a metallic noise that is getting closer, there is only one thing left to do – run! Because weapons cannot harm Tr3-VR. Also, he cannot be turned off.
If you hesitate, it usually means certain death (unless he unexpectedly turns away). But even if you run, the chance of being caught by the terrifying shredder is high.

Your only chance is small openings where you can hide from Trevor or the hope that the robot does not take the same turn that you are taking in your escape from the unstoppable machine.
How the fans react: Many Guardians hate Trevor. Sometimes, you can get through the maze without any problems. But often the janitor robot causes a lot of frustration, hate tirades, and torn apart teams. Because if you die in the maze due to Trevor, you have to redo the entire passage – unless you get revived.
This is what numerous Guardians think of Trevor (Source: Reddit user ajbolt7)
Numerous Guardians report that Trevor seems to have a personal vendetta against them. After every respawn, they are constantly hunted down and torn apart by the machine – no matter which way they take and how they try to avoid him.
It is often the worst when you are almost at the open exit and are surprised by Trevor in the final centimeters. Or when two of you are waiting by the exit door and at the last second before the saving opening, this killer machine comes around the corner.
One of the most popular Trevor memes (Source: Reddit user tk427aj)
But Trevor also brings many fun moments to many Guardians and has already inspired countless memes and videos dedicated to him. He has now reached a kind of small cult status among some fans.
Some think that with his unpredictable mechanics, his terrible sound, and the claustrophobic atmosphere in the narrow corridors, he is one of, if not the coolest and nastiest enemy in all of Destiny 2. Many report chilling moments – especially during their first encounters with this killer robot.
If other team members continue, it may happen that you get stuck in this passage for 10 or 15 minutes and thus arrive too late or not at all for the boss fight.

An incident during the Overwatch League stream is likely to be remembered for a while. There, convicted serial killers were shown as “loving mother”.
Last Sunday was Mother’s Day worldwide, when gamers also remembered their mothers and showed them how much they care. Many responded to this call, but there was also a troll who “sneaked” a very special image into the stream. It showed convicted serial killers and child molesters from the UK.
What happened? The Overwatch League had called for viewers to celebrate Mother’s Day a bit during the stream. Viewers were encouraged to share photos of their mothers under the hashtag #OWLMoms and explain why they love their moms so much.
A troll apparently took this as an opportunity to make a joke. He didn’t use a picture of his mother but rather two convicted serial killers. This tweet was then shown on the Overwatch League stream – among others.
The aforementioned tweet with Frederick and Rosemary West.
Who was in the picture? The picture was an early photo of Frederick and Rosemary West, two British serial killers who were convicted in 1994. The man took his own life in prison, while Rosemary is still incarcerated today.
This may not be common knowledge, but it is quite well known. It seems to have escaped the Steam operators of the Overwatch League, who were searching for relevant tweets. Thus, the tweet featuring the serial killers was shown.
Many viewers immediately noticed that they had seen the image before and repeatedly pointed this out loudly in the comments. So far, there has been no reaction from the Overwatch League to the incident.
What do you think of this incident? Should there be an apology for this? Or was it a successful and quite humorous troll attempt? Or just morbid?
The team behind the online shooter Apex Legends is now planning steps against players who can cost you the victory. Those who display selfish behavior and do not care about their teammates could soon face a ban.
Who will be banned? In a recent “Check In” on May 11, Respawn spoke about plans to punish some players. This concerns players who do not really participate in the game and about whom several complaints have been filed.
This time, the steps are not against cheaters, but against truly “bad teammates.” The developers refer to this behavior as “piggybacking,” where players let themselves be carried through the game by jumping on the backs of others and saying, “Run, my little piggy.”
Players do not care what they do as long as they survive longer.
What is “piggybacking”? In “piggybacking,” players actively separate from their teammates or do not really participate in the game at all.
They do not pick up weapons, do not shoot, and do not help anyone.
Their goal is simply to earn many experience points and level up the Battle Pass faster. They accept that teammates suffer from their behavior and have less fun.
Is the Battle Pass a problem?
This is how action will be taken against the players: Currently, temporary bans are being discussed to punish players for their behavior. However, those who continue to behave negatively and stand out as “Piggybackers” can also receive a permanent ban.
For now, this is all just meant to serve as a warning:
This change will not happen immediately. We just wanted to give players a little pre-warning so they can improve their behavior.
When the first penalties can be expected is still not exactly clear. However, possible solo and duo modes could help.
So far, it is just a warning.
This is how the community feels about it: Since there have already been complaints about this behavior in advance, many players agree with the plan. However, there are concerns about the implementation, as it is difficult to automate the detection of such behavior. The player Glasseater_ says on reddit:
Don’t waste time automating this. People will find ways to do the bare minimum to avoid being banned. Matches are still getting ruined and there’s a chance players will be wrongfully banned.
Niantic has exposed a group of cheaters in their game Ingress. Now trainers in Pokémon GO hope that action will be taken against cheaters there as well.
This was announced by Niantic: On Twitter, the Niantic Support account announced that they had succeeded in making a strike against cheaters in Ingress.
Several players who had cheated special items using bot accounts were punished there.
This gives hope: This news also caught the attention of Pokémon GO players. Could similar incidents with cheaters in Pokémon GO happen soon?
Cheaters in Pokémon GO – Could something happen soon?
This is the current status regarding cheaters: In Pokémon GO, cheating is almost hassle-free. Particularly, spoofing, i.e., manipulating GPS data, is hardly punished at all.
Many honest players are annoyed by cheating. They take gyms from home and often do not consider other players. Meanwhile, honest trainers have to run from gym to gym to be able to attack there.

This is how the Niantic tweet was received: The fewest reactions to the tweet came from Ingress players. Mainly the trainers of Pokémon GO reacted to it.
In response, it was often said: “Good step and next then the spoofers in Pokémon GO?”
The user “PokemonMasterWill” even expresses it a bit more drastically: “A ton of other mobile games ban third-party apps, but Niantic and Pokémon GO love their spoofers so much that they do nothing against them.”.

Could something happen now? With this tweet, Niantic definitely shows that they are indeed able to recognize whether an account uses bots or other third-party apps in connection with their game.
This confirmation has always been lacking. It now remains to be seen whether Niantic is also willing to take action against spoofers in Pokémon GO. The demands of the players seem to be significant.
Sony has recently shown a knack for reviving some slumbering online games by releasing them for free on PS4. After For Honor in February and Conan Exiles in April, it looks like Monster Hunter World might be next. However, the trial on PlayStation 4 is time-limited.
This effect has Sony’s favor: Online games that become temporarily free via PS Plus are experiencing a renaissance on PS4 lately.
Google Trends shows: The graph represents the relative search interest for Conan Exiles.
As seen: Conan Exiles was only searched as frequently as at the PS Plus launch during its early access launch in 2017 and the official release in 2018.
This effect on Google Trends is usually only seen with major expansions or huge upheavals in older games.
Normally, very few games achieve even close to the hype level and search interest that results from a release.
The appearance on PS Plus is therefore a powerful tool for publishers.
What about Monster Hunter World? For Monster Hunter World, Sony is taking a different approach this time:
The game is not available for free for a month if you have PS Plus, like Conan Exiles
but Monster Hunter World is only free to play for a few days – you still need PS Plus, though. The offer lasts until May 20.
Why so short? Unlike Conan Exiles, Monster Hunter World is much more geared towards single-player. If players were given 30 days, dedicated players could complete the monster hunting for free and would have little reason to buy the game afterward.
What’s behind this: Capcom surely hopes this offer will increase attention among PS4 players and grow the player base, especially with a major expansion, Iceborne, coming in September.
There’s hope that players will fall in love with Monster Hunter World during the 10 days, take advantage of the low price, and then pay full price for Iceborne in September.
Will it work? Now we have to wait and see if Monster Hunter World can benefit from a resurgence in the few days that the free offer is still available, just like Conan Exiles did before.
The game is already quite distinctive. And players had the opportunity to test MHW for free in a beta before its release:
Those who liked the game back then probably bought it long ago.
Those who were put off by the controls or the look of the huntress will hesitate again.
Huntress
But the trial offers a chance to peek in for free once again and play further than during the beta. Many think Monster Hunter World only reveals its charm after several hours, when the complexity becomes clearer.
If players decide to buy Monster Hunter World during the trial, they can do so at a lower price – as there’s also a sale happening at Sony.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a hint has appeared for the new daily Fortbyte challenge. Fortbyte 92 can now be unlocked and it is quite simple: You need to go to the lava falls on the Fortnite map. However, you need to meet some prerequisites.
What is the task for the Fortbyte? The 92nd Fortbyte has appeared in Fortnite along with a new task. The byte is located in the northeast of the map, near Pressure Plant and the recently erupted volcano.
It’s best to land directly where it is marked on the map below.
The location of the Fortbytes is marked by the red dot at Pressure Plant. Image source: FortniteInsider
Spray the “Rock Love” spray at the lava falls
Here’s where you need to search: The Fortbyte is already well visible on a stone platform between two small lava falls. It is located at the highest lava fall. However, you cannot simply use or interact with the Fortbyte.
First, you need to use the “Rock Love” spray on the stones under the Fortbyte. You receive the spray as a reward for Level 2 of the Battle Pass of Season 9 in Fortnite. You need to equip the spray as an emote and spray it yourself.
With the spray, you can easily spray the stones directly under the byte. Afterwards, you can collect the byte as usual.
How to get Fortbyte 92 in Fortnite
Here’s everything in the video: To show you more specifically how to get Fortbyte 92, we have included a short video below for you. It shows you the best landing spots and how to get the Fortbyte.

What do I need the Fortbytes for? The Fortbytes are new daily challenges that keep you busy in Fortnite while you wait for the weekly challenges on Thursdays.
In total, 100 Fortbytes are waiting for you and every day you can find a new Fortbyte. Some of them are obtained by reaching certain levels on the Battle Pass, while others, like Fortbyte 92, require solving a small challenge.
We accompany the challenges on MeinMMO for you. You can find a guide to the Fortbytes in our overview of the new feature:
Conan Exiles has received a fairly large update for its one-year anniversary. Among other things, the game received a new dungeon with an entire city underwater. Particularly here, there are several things to discover.
Here
you will encounter many cultists of the ancient god and stumble upon
several great things that are worth discovering. We will show you some
of the new features that would particularly be worth an expedition underwater.
Tip:
Bring some breath potions with you. You will need them.
1. A
completely new species: Fishmen
In the Sunken Temple, you will encounter not only human enemies in the form of cultists and priests. There are also entirely new beings and disgusting creeping creatures that oppose you.
The new Fishmen come in several varieties. Some resemble humans with slimy skin and fish eyes but are largely still human. Others look like giant, ugly anglerfish with legs.
A
particular large (and fat) anglerfish is one of the bosses
of the temple, feasting on the innards of a dead sea creature.
Around him, thick, maggot-like worms with sharp teeth appear repeatedly.
According to
some stories you learn in the temple, these creatures are a people from Conan Exiles, Lemurians, who supposedly “enhanced” Dagon with his blood.
2. New
weapons and recipes
While
you explore the temple complex, you will encounter various locations or items with which you can interact. These are often tablets that light up when
you approach them.
Most
times, you will have to defeat a boss beforehand. However, each time you learn new recipes. Among them are recipes for:
Lemurian axes and swords
A legendary trident of Dagon
Legendary daggers of Dagon
A legendary shield that looks like a steering wheel
Improved aloe potions and breath potions (Breath of Dagon, lasts 10 minutes)
Improved fish and shellfish traps
A warrior in Lemurian armor with corresponding axe and shield. Unlike styles like the new Turan, you do not need a DLC for this.
For
the recipes, you will need scales from Dagon. (currently written in German as “Schuppen von Davon”, likely a typo) You will also find these in the Sunken City, where you find the scales on the enemies.
Tip: The recipe for a unique and also somewhat strange item, a broken oar, can be found directly by the ship that takes you to the island. Just interact with the oar next to the ship.
3. A
new god
During
your visit to the temple, you basically have the god Dagon as your tour guide. Whenever you discover more of the complex, Dagon whispers directly to you in an ancient language, only understandable as subtitles.
Dagon
explains to you why he is imprisoned in the city, whom you are fighting against, and who he actually is. It also becomes clear that he
is connected to R’lyeh, the home city of the well-known (and feared) Cthulhu. Because Dagon is also one of the Great Old Ones.
When you reach the room with the final boss, the room of the ritual keeper, you can even see Dagon yourself. His head rises from the water’s surface, which presumably represents a wall of his prison.
After you have eliminated all opponents, Dagon thanks you. The fact that Dagon reveals himself and that Fishmen are present in the dungeon somewhat reminds one of Jhebbal Sag from the Midnight Grove with his werewolves. And Jhebbal Sag subsequently received his own religion in Conan Exiles …
4. A
wonderful environment with many details
Something
that is often overlooked during many dungeon visits is the environment in
which you fight. As an underwater dungeon, the Sunken City offers the unique setting of an
ocean floor and a sunken temple.
During your dives, you can discover a wonderful, colorful, and bizarre world where dangers lurk in the form of toxic plants and their toxic surroundings. However, the sea around the island looks significantly more fascinating and better elaborated than the lakes and rivers in the Exiled Lands.
Also, the architecture of the temples is unique. It is rather brutally designed, and many drawbridges serve as “room dividers.” But especially the slave cells could serve as a particular building idea for some builders for their camp.

Starting tomorrow, on May 13th, tickets for the GO Fest in Dortmund will be available from Pokémon GO! Here’s a quick overview of what you need to know before the sales start.
This is the sales start: Tomorrow, on May 13th, it starts at 5 PM! The ticket allocation for the GO Fest in Dortmund begins. From then on, you can register for 2 days and hope to be randomly selected in the end.
To ensure you are definitely part of the registration, here’s a quick overview of the process.
How to Get Tickets for the GO Fest in Dortmund
This is how the registration works: We’ve already explained to you how the registration proceeds step by step in another article, so we will just go through it quickly here.
The GO Fest in Dortmund brings numerous rare Pokémon
At 5 PM, registration opens, and you can sign up directly for ticket allocation via the app. There, you will need to provide your email address, and you will be in the draw.
What happens after registration: After 2 days, on May 15th, the registration phase ends, and the sale starts. If you are selected, you will receive an email from Niantic. This email will be about purchasing the tickets. There are two types of tickets to buy:
Normal (You can enter the area from 10 AM to 6 PM) for €25
Early Access (You can enter the area from 8 AM to 6 PM) for €35
If you are selected, you must pay for the tickets within 48 hours; otherwise, the tickets will expire.
How many tickets can I buy? You can buy a total of 4 tickets per winner. To do this, you must be at least Great Friends with the respective player to give them the ticket.
This is what a ticket looks like
Is a trip to Dortmund worth it without a ticket? If you do not get a ticket for the GO Fest, you cannot enter the area, and the spawns will also be different. So a trip to Dortmund really isn’t worth it.
In Destiny 2, the Season of the Drifter is still running, the current DLC. Our author Schuhmann says: Behind the current season are brave and understandable decisions, but for me, it’s absolutely nothing.
This was the situation: Bungie decided to take a different direction after the “We’re bringing something for everyone” expansion Forsaken.
With the “Annual Pass”, Bungie wanted to entertain the hardcore players by giving them as much to do as possible with as little effort as possible. There are three premium DLCs planned to bridge the time between December 2018 and September 2019. They cost about €10 per DLC.
So far, in this “dead time” in Destiny, there were either paid DLCs (2015 and 2018), which often disappointed, or free updates that changed very little (2016/2017).
This time, in 2019, there’s an Annual Pass. We are currently in the mid-DLC “Joker’s Wild.”
This is the joke of the new DLCs: The two previous DLCs after Forsaken focus on clear ideas:
They offer players a “core activity” that they should repeat as often as possible to farm loot and level up. In the 1st DLC up to 650, this time up to 700.
Quests and milestones are meant to ensure that players spend some time with Destiny 2 every week
there are also some time gates and a lengthy gear progression to keep players engaged (some mega-players are still done with it after 2 weeks and scoff at anyone complaining about too much grind)
How difficult the situation was for the current DLC: The current DLC could only lose.
“The Season of the Drifter” landed on March 4. It was clear from the start that it would be a difficult DLC, squeezed between the release of competing games Anthem and The Division 2.
Additionally, after the first DLC with the forges, players were apparently slowly getting Destiny-fatigued and looking for variety and something new. Moreover, the “Annual Pass” had already split the community since many were reluctant to give Bungie another “blank check” for the future.
In a survey by MeinMMO in December 2018, only 2900 out of 5365 surveyed users said they had already purchased the Annual Pass. The rest were skeptical to dismissive.
Even if the DLC would have been excellent, the season would have had a really tough time. And I didn’t find the Season of the Drifter excellent.
Gambit Prime looked really cool back then.
This is what the Season of the Drifter offers: The current DLC focuses on two modes that are directly related:
Gambit Prime is a “sharpened” variant of the normal Gambit, a PvE/PvP mode that Bungie is incredibly proud of
As an incentive to play the two activities, Guardians can earn special set armor that provide unique benefits in Gambit Prime. In Prime, Guardians earn the particles needed to obtain the armor pieces in Reckoning.
This is how it sounded on paper: Basically, I found it brave that Bungie decided to implement such an idea with the interlocking game modes. I thought it would give players a lot to do.
I found the idea of the sets leading to more specialization exciting.
This is how I found it in practice: Unfortunately, this approach for Destiny did not work for me at all, and my playtime in Destiny 2 has dropped significantly since the Season of the Drifter.
This is due to 4 reasons:
I find Gambit Prime significantly less fun than the normal Gambit mode. I tried to warm up to this mode, but for me and my playstyle, it’s nothing. I feel much more that you need a well-coordinated team to shine here.
Also, I find “Reckoning” to be a difficult mode and it doesn’t bring me much joy. Already, the fact that there are 3 tiers and that the first one is actually irrelevant bothers me. After a run, I have had enough of Destiny 2. The idea of going back in and doing exactly the same thing again seems lame to me.
Not a good place for me: Reckoning
I find the grind for the armors cumbersome, as I apparently can only properly start it after I have invested several weeks in the DLC and made progress.
Also, I have to play the same milestones as I already have throughout the 1st DLC with the forges to increase my light level.
This problem is evident: For me, the DLC shows how incredibly important it is with Bungie’s new approach to get the few core activities that players are supposed to play over and over again right, so that they excite from the start.
It is also important to hold out a carrot in front of players that looks appetizing.
I’ve tried to find enjoyment in Gambit Prime and Reckoning, but I just couldn’t.
I would have preferred if Bungie had poured all the time into a mode that truly rocks instead of two.
I think how much fun one can have in the current Destiny largely depends on how one perceived these two modes the first time:
They did not bring me joy.
But I can imagine that others who enjoy Gambit Prime and Reckoning are totally thrilled by the DLC and cannot understand my criticism at all.
There are certainly big fans of Gambit Prime.
This is what it’s about: I can understand Bungie’s general approach of precisely expanding the world with the Annual Pass and find it brave. Sure, it would be even better if a “comprehensive” expansion like Forsaken came every 3 months, but that’s simply wishful thinking.
Under the current circumstances, Bungie is likely taking the significantly better and smarter approach and utilizing its resources as best as possible.
For without such things, I find Bungie’s approach to be highly polarizing: Either you enjoy the core activity and find the DLC and the grind good – or you don’t, and there are hardly any reasons to log in. And I would like to have more Destiny 2 back in my life.
Valve’s online platform Steam is also a hub for all MMORPG fans. We now present to you the five online role-playing games that had the most players in May 2019.
For the order of the games presented here, we relied on Steam’s popularity list. These MMORPGs had the most players as of May 10, 2019.
We have also ensured that we present only “classic” MMORPGs. So if you are currently looking for a new online role-playing game where you can find many fellow players, take a look at one of the games listed here.
What is Neverwinter? The MMORPG Neverwinter combines a classic theme park MMORPG experience with the D&D rules system and the D&D world of the Forgotten Realms. Your task is to save the city of Neverwinter from many dangers.
But the surrounding areas also need to be visited. You even travel to the far north of Icewind Dale and the jungles of Chult. A visit to the horror dimension of Ravenloft is even on the agenda.
The game offers you plenty of quests where you fight numerous monsters. Group play and teamwork are therefore important. It is necessary to enhance your hero to face the ever-increasing challenges.
If you are interested in PvP, you can compete with other players in special areas and arenas. The MMORPG regularly receives major expansions, some of which bring significant changes to the game system. This happened with the Undermountain module.
So many players does Neverwinter have on Steam: In the last 30 days, an average of 2,149 players played the MMORPG. The peak was 4,464 concurrently.
This is what players think: Since the release of the Undermountain expansion, Neverwinter’s popularity in the community has noticeably declined. Many of the sometimes drastic changes to the game system have not been well received. This includes that healers basically have nothing else to do but heal, and due to the scaling, there is no longer a feeling of achievement.
Zeon Erudon writes on Steam: “It was once a really good game, then the developers had the idea about scaling…”
Cyrus, however, thinks: “It’s still one of the best MMORPGs. There are problems with scaling, but it’s still fun.”

The highlight of a tournament of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in Malta was not a special round, but rather the accident of a player with a scooter in the hall. The internet can’t stop shaking its head or grinning, as the clip is circulating online.
This crash is about: The player “Robstar” from the UK traveled to the Malta Cyber Series to participate in a “Black Ops 4” tournament with his team “Future Gaming.”
During the tournament, the Brit found a scooter, which he quickly decided to try out.
He sped through the event hall at high speed and almost crashed into a table without braking. A spectator recorded the whole thing on video, and now the internet is laughing at this recklessness.
Watch the scooter crash in the video
This video is about: The Twitter account of the organizer posted the video showing the crash. With panic in his eyes, the player speeds almost uncontrollably through the hall and then crashes into a table.

This is how the organizer reacts: While the internet laughs at this clip, the organizer of the event does not find this accident funny at all. After all, Robstar could have injured others or sustained serious injuries himself.
Regarding the video, the organizer stated that Robstar will be disqualified from the tournament.
How does the player react? Robstar humbly apologized on Twitter after his accident. He can continue playing and is not banned, but now he has to keep his head down and not attract negative attention anymore.
For Robstar, it was good that he was allowed to continue playing, as he and his team are still in the tournament. Future Gaming seems to be a favorite for the win.
This is what the internet says about the accident: The laughter and the shaking of heads are significant after this clip. CoD player “DREEALL” posted a video on Twitter, believing that Robstar brought the scooter to the event:
Other spectators are also wondering how the player managed to find and use the scooter at all. Other comments under the video are not very nice either. Only a few players have sympathy for Robstar. The majority is just laughing at this action.
However, some are urging the organizer to lift Robstar’s ban – since he made their small tournament in Malta known.

How did the guy even get the scooter? The organizer then solved this riddle themselves. At the venue of the tournament, there was still an exhibition unrelated to the Call of Duty tournament. The red scooter was likely exhibited there.
A well-known streamer also recently had an accident with a scooter. He injured his arm:
