The joint project of Marvel and Square Enix, Avengers Project, is still shrouded in silence. However, developer Eidos Montreal is bringing more and more new employees on board.
What is happening at Eidos? In the Canadian headquarters of Square Enix and Eidos in Montreal, there are major expansions going on in 2019. The office in Canada, with over 700 employees, is already considered the largest subsidiary of Square outside of Japan, but it is set to expand even further:
Over 100 new jobs for Square Enix Montreal and Eidos Montreal in 2019
Expansion of office space by almost 1,000 m² (currently about 5,000 m²). It would be almost as large as the White House
New studio for motion capture and image measurement
New studio for mixing and voice recording
New department for market and user research
These are all upgrades that the MMO Avengers Project could benefit from. The expansion is scheduled to take place sometime in 2019.
What is the status of Avengers Project? The collaboration between Square Enix and Marvel was announced back in early 2017. It is expected to be a huge project that encompasses multiple games.
At the beginning of 2018, the developers Eidos and Crystal Dynamics posted various new job listings online, mainly for leading positions in development and management areas.
So far, all information regarding what exactly fans can expect from Avengers Project has been kept under wraps. Based on the job postings for Avengers Project, it is suspected that it is an MMO, but exact information is still lacking.
When could new information arrive? Recently, Square Enix confirmed its presence at E3 2019.
However, unlike publishers such as Bethesda or Microsoft, they have not yet said a word about which Square Enix games we can expect at E3.
It is possible that fans will finally receive more information about the Avengers Project after a two-year wait.
In The Division 2 there are many active and passive talents for your weapons and gear. This is our overview.

What are gear sets? Currently, there are 3 gear sets in the game. Each has several set bonuses. The more pieces you equip, the more of the bonuses will be activated.
These are the 3 gear sets:
Activated Directive
True Patriot
Hard Wired
These are the bonuses of the “Activated Directive” set:
2 parts: +20% weapon handling
3 parts: 25% incendiary damage
4 parts: 25% bleeding damage
5 parts – Talent “Emergency Requisition”: Every 30 seconds, combat resources (repair kits, ammunition, grenades) are automatically collected in a 40-meter radius around the player.
6 parts – Talent “The Right Tool…”: Kills with a weapon add special ammunition to one of your other weapons (fire, explosion, or shock). (Shock does not apply in normalized PvP!)
These are the bonuses of the “True Patriot” set:
2 parts: +10% armor damage
3 parts: +10% protection against elite enemies
4 parts: +10% total armor
5 parts – Talent “Red, White, and Blue”: When you shoot an enemy, they receive a debuff. The debuffs are applied in the order red/white/blue, switching every 4 seconds. Red reduces the damage the target can inflict. White refills the armor of the allied shooter with each bullet that hits the target. Blue grants allies a cooldown reduction after a hit.
6 parts – Talent “The Full Flag”: When an enemy is hit while debuffs in all three colors are active, other nearby enemies with at least one debuff also suffer 25% damage.

Can occur every 15 seconds. When a skill has completed its cooldown (or is fully charged), a damage and repair bonus for all skills occurs for 15 seconds.
Before the launch of Anthem, BioWare made a major promise: players should never have to tackle activities in the action RPG alone through matchmaking. However, reports are currently increasing that freelancers often find themselves without a full group.
This was intended to give them an edge over the competition: While Destiny and Destiny 2 also have matchmaking, it only covers activities like PvP or strikes. For endgame content like raids, players must find teammates in other ways.
Anthem wanted to circumvent this situation and introduced matchmaking for all activities, whether they are story missions, contracts, or strongholds.
Do players increasingly have to face opponents alone?
Why is this a problem? Currently, reports are piling up from players who, even through matchmaking, cannot find teammates or only manage to get partial groups.
Some freelancers write that it especially affects the higher difficulty levels GM2 and GM3. Other players report that it becomes particularly difficult to find players during off-hours.
What happens if no players are found? When you sign up for an activity in Anthem, suitable players are searched for. After a while, you enter the desired mission – regardless of whether enough teammates are available or not.
As a result, it can happen that you start a mission completely alone. However, other players can still join a few minutes after the activity has started.
Players are reportedly preferring to repeat a stronghold rather than play other activities.
What do the players say? Some players have participated in the discussion and provided various answers as to why there are problems with matchmaking:
Some freelancers indicate that they have always received too few teammates through matchmaking. This issue is reportedly present from the very beginning on PC.
Others say they currently are not playing and are waiting for the situation in Anthem to improve. They are waiting for changes to loot and bug fixes.
Some other players believe that there is actually no problem with player numbers. Players would only focus on the activities where they could farm loot efficiently. This would include the stronghold “Heart of Rage” on the GM1 difficulty. All other activities would not yield enough loot or take too long, making them uninteresting for players.
Finally, a new stronghold was added to Anthem. Here’s how players are receiving it:
Hearthstone wants to become more attractive for fans again – especially in eSports and on Twitch. Therefore, they are trying out a new format in eSports that forces players to use specialized decks.
The eSports of Hearthstone is struggling a bit. This is not only said by the view counts on Twitch, but also by Sam Braithwaite, the Esports Franchise Lead of Hearthstone.
This is why they want to experiment and try out a new format. The hope is that players will become more interested in eSports again and be able to identify more with the game situations.
This is how it has been so far: So far, the “Conquest” format was used. Players had to bring three decks with different heroes and win at least one match with each deck. Whoever won with a hero had to switch to one of their other decks afterward. The loser could stay with their deck.
This is how the new format works: In the “Specialist” format, each player can only compete with one class – they must specialize. Overall, they bring three decks of their chosen class to each tournament.
The primary deck has no restrictions. It can be built freely from all currently valid Standard cards.
The secondary and tertiary decks may differ from the primary deck. However, each may only differ by 5 cards. In other words: The secondary and tertiary decks must each contain 25 cards from the primary deck.
Do you think the new format is good? Is it a good idea that each player must focus on a type of deck? Or does this harm eSports instead?
This is how a match proceeds: In a duel, both players must compete with their primary deck in the first round. After that, they can freely choose from their three decks – either switch to the secondary or tertiary deck or stay with the primary deck. The opponent does not know in advance which deck was chosen.
The games then repeat until a winner is determined (usually a “Best of 3” or “Best of 5”)
Spectators should find easier access: For spectators, eSports in Hearthstone is different than in games like MOBAs, shooters, or real-time strategies, as explained by the eSports head of Hearthstone. It is much easier to empathize with the professionals’ situations and they try to learn from the professionals’ decisions.
After all, as a player, you encounter the same situations. Moreover, it feels good when you anticipate the move the professional will make – you feel validated and good for having recognized that step beforehand.
This educational aspect is an especially important detail and a reason why many viewers tune into Hearthstone streams at all: they want to learn from the professionals.
The format should also help eSports newcomers: At the same time, the “Specialist” format makes it easier for new players to take the step into eSports. For many, it has been a hurdle to come up with four or even five completely different decks to compete with multiple classes. Many players just want to play one deck or one class that they enjoy playing in their free time.
Even the professionals have often criticized that the preparation is significantly greater when so many decks are required – especially when a tournament takes place immediately after the release of a new expansion.
This is how fans react to the new format: However, the Specialist format has already had to face a lot of criticism beforehand. In the comments under the presentation of the format, fans are concerned that there will only be one archetype per tournament.
That would mean a large part of the matches would be decided before the game even begins. Whether this will really be the case remains to be seen.
However, the new “Specialist” format is only an experiment for now. If it turns out in a few months that the format is boring and does not have the desired effect, they want to explore other options – according to Braithwaite, they still have several alternatives in store.
Do you think the new format is good? Is it a good idea that each player must focus on a type of deck? Or does this harm eSports instead?
Standing Stone Games, the developers of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, have big plans for 2019. That’s why there is no anniversary mount. Fans are excited to see what is coming.
What have the developers announced? In a live stream, it was mentioned that the developers of LotRO have very big plans for this year. Some details were specified:
A raid for Minas Morgul is planned.
In this raid, the players will likely not encounter the giant spider Kankra. The developers seem to reserve this for another story content.
The wizard Radagast is supposed to play a role.
The valley of Anduin will be accessible through Lothlórien, the Misty Mountains, and the woodland portal of Mirkwood. This will create a long-desired connection between the zones.
The housing in Rohan is in the works.
The 64-bit client is well advanced and should soon be deployed to the test server.
Plans for content after the upcoming update 24 are already in place.
Disappointment over missing anniversary mount
How are the fans reacting to this? Basically, the players of The Lord of the Rings Online are satisfied with this announcement and are very curious to find out what this year will still bring. Housing is something that is being talked about a lot. Some fans are looking forward to it.
However, there is also disappointment. To implement the big plans for 2019, this year’s anniversary mount had to be canceled. This decision is not well received by everyone.
ZoneTripper stated in the official forum: “Mounts as rewards for events and anniversaries are a long-standing tradition in LotRO. If you had explained it better, it would have been a different matter. But now it seems as though the developers are just doing less than usual. “
Players are at least wishing for some form of mount reward for the anniversary. Vouchers or discounts, for example.
A summary of the story would be nice
What else do the players wish for? A wish from the community is the possibility of summarizing the previous story in some form.
The story has become so extensive that it is hard to remember everything. One suggestion is to introduce an NPC who discusses the heroes’ past deeds with them.
There is also a wish to receive an even higher level cap. After level 120, some boredom sets in. Players want new goals to continue playing and improving their heroes.
Players who work their way up the rankings in Overwatch with a rating of over 4000 land in the Grandmaster tier. Blizzard is planning a major change for these players starting from Season 16.
This is what will change: Starting from Season 16, Grandmaster players will only be able to team up in groups of a maximum of two players, meaning they will play “Duo” matches.
This change applies to all players whose Season Rating (SR) is over 4000 in the current season. It affects only a small percentage of players.
The change will take effect between today, April 30, and the next day after Season 15 ends and Season 16 begins.
What is the purpose of the change? The Principal Designer of Overwatch, Scott Mercer, has written a post on the official Overwatch forum discussing the reasons for the change:
in the Grandmaster tier, there are often too few players for equally sized groups
this makes it more difficult to ensure fair games in this tier
the change is intended to help in this regard
Some fans have also found another, more pragmatic reason. This change makes “boosting” more difficult or even impossible.
Through “boosting,” weaker players, often for payment, can be “pulled up” by Grandmasters in their group to win games and receive an SR that does not correspond to their skill level.
A different type of “boosting” would be to have a professional directly play on an account. Such practices are penalized with prison sentences in countries like Korea. But the change by Blizzard helps here as well since the matches will generally be fairer, and Grandmasters cannot simply overwhelm opponents on unfamiliar accounts in the higher tier.
Boosting will now be more difficult.
How do Grandmasters react? Most players are welcoming the change, even those affected. Professional player Jake “JAKE” Lyon from the Overwatch League is pleased about it:
When asked why this is good, Jake replied that teams of three or more players in the already small player pool of Grandmasters leads to imbalances in game balance. They would therefore often be one-sided.
What do you think about the change?
Another new feature is the Workshop in Overwatch, which has already produced many crazy game modes:
In Pokémon GO there have been increasing reports about the new Pokémon Schalellos during the night. However, after a few minutes, the Schalellos-euphoria came to an end as the Pokémon disappeared again.
This is what players reported: One hour, after the release of the legendary lake trio, Schalellos also entered the game. While the lake trio can still be caught, Schalellos is no longer available now.
It took only a few minutes for Niantic to apparently notice the mistake and stop the spawn. However, there has been no official statement from the developers regarding this.
Schalellos in the Wild – What We Know
What we know about the spawns: In those few minutes, players caught both forms of Schalellos – in every region. It was assumed that Schalellos would become a regional Pokémon since it appears in two different forms.
Both forms of Schalellos were caught in the same location. Source: Reddit
Both forms were caught at the same locations. At least at that time there was no regional Schalellos.
Will the Pokémon return? So far, nothing is known about that. However, it is evident that Niantic has this Pokémon ready for release. They just need to pull a lever and the Pokémon will spawn. That lever was apparently mistakenly pulled during the night.
However, since some players now own this Pokémon, it can only be a matter of time before the Pokémon is officially released.
If Schalellos is released properly, it could actually be distributed across two regions. Since it was merely a false release so far, Niantic can change quite a bit about it.
Schalellos can then be evolved into Gastrodon
This is what makes Schalellos special now: If you have caught a Schalellos, you currently possess one of the rarest Pokémon in the game. After all, Schalellos was only available for a few minutes in Pokémon GO, and only a handful of players own such a Pokémon.
Currently, the Ground Event is also still running. Here are the bonuses:

In the Destiny 2 community, Titans are currently lamenting their situation. They feel useless in the endgame content right now. Hunters and Warlocks can do everything Titans can, only better.
This is why Titans are complaining: Currently, there are more posts from sad Titan players in the Destiny subreddit. They feel powerless and useless. Especially in PvE content, they hardly seem to have a place anymore.
In the endgame, like the raids, the other classes simply do a better job. Titans are only expected to serve as debuff bots by using the Hammer Strike from the Sunbreaker to weaken enemies.
But even that is challenged by Hunters: The Spectral Blades Hunter, introduced with the Forsaken expansion, can also weaken enemies with Shatter Strike. And that without any cooldown.
The better Titans? Spectral Blades Hunters.
This is what players are saying: Some players agree with the current plight of Titans – including Warlocks and Hunters. Guardians wish for times when each class had its rightful place in the game.
It is remembered that in Destiny 1, during the King’s Fall raid against Oryx, one was stranded without Titans and their bubble. That Titans are only needed as Hammer Strike types would feel like the predecessor title when Warlocks could only play the Solar Focus.
Solar Warlocks had a super in Destiny 1 that allowed them to self-revive. This was often used and appreciated in raids.
Some Titans even report being kicked out of raids or excluded because their teammates preferred to take more Hunters and Warlocks along.
Are the exotic items to blame? The topic was also addressed by Datto in a video. He sees the weakness of the Titans’ situation partly attributed to the weak exotic items.

For instance, Hunters and Warlocks have some gear that enhances their abilities and supers in many ways. The Helm of Saint-14 gives the Solar Hunter’s Golden Gun a significant damage boost. The Warlock helmet Skull of Dire Ahamkara is a must-have for Nova Warlocks and was recently buffed.
There are also enough Exotics for other subclasses that enhance Hunters and Warlocks in many ways and make them important team members in endgame content.
According to Datto, the only Exotic for Titans that would come close to the great items for the other classes is the Doomfang Paunche.
Do you find Titans in Destiny 2 currently useless as well?
A new trailer for Borderlands 3 shows first information about the skill trees. We reveal how the skill trees will look.
There is not much information known about Borderlands 3 yet, but slowly but surely more details are coming to light. In a short trailer explaining in-game loot for viewers on Twitch, there was a first look at the skill tree of Amara, the Siren in Borderlands 3.
Classic skill tree with equipable skills: The first look reveals many similarities to its predecessor Borderlands 2. It seems that each character will have three different skill trees. The first skill point is an augmentation of the respective character’s special ability. Additional skills then unlock passive bonuses or provide extra “augmentations,” which must be equipped and are therefore limited.
Details from Amara’s skill trees: The Siren Amara will have three different skill trees, the names of which are already known:
Brawl
Mystical Assault
Fist of the Elements
The symbols at the bottom suggest that you can only equip one upgrade of this type at a time.
The first skills of Mystical Assault: Initial skills from the skill tree can also already be read:
The first augmentation from the skill tree of “Mystical Assault” is “Phasecast”: Amara sends out an astral projection of herself that damages all enemies in her path.
Passive improvements include “Do Harm”: Each time Amara kills an enemy, she gains a stack of “Rush.” When Phasecast is activated, the stacks are consumed, and the ability deals more damage per stack.
Another ability is “Violent Tapestry”: Here, Amara receives a stack of “Rush” every time she triggers an elemental effect. When activating Phasecast, all stacks are consumed, which temporarily increases Amara’s chance to trigger elemental effects.
What we can conclude: The interface already allows some conclusions about gameplay and talent selection. Not all abilities will be combinable. Since each skill tree has some “upgrades” for the ability that must be equipped, there will probably be a choice. For example, if you equip “Upgrade A” from the first skill tree, you probably cannot simultaneously equip “Upgrade B” from the second skill tree.
Passive skills, on the other hand, which do not need to be equipped, seem to be able to stack without any problems.
More information about the skill trees will surely be available tomorrow, on May 1st. Selected streamers will then be able to get their hands on the game for the first time and get an impression of the characters, the weapons, and of course the talents.
Please keep in mind that Borderlands 3 will not be released for several months. Many details may change before then.
Are you excited about Borderlands 3 and the different skill trees of the characters? Have you already decided on a character?
The bad news surrounding the developer studio Riot Games just keeps coming. The League of Legends creators have been sued by female employees for alleged discrimination and now a strike is supposedly looming.
Where is the information from? The site Waypoint has received news from the internal Slack of Riot Games. It mentions that a strike has been on the horizon at Riot Games for some time and the mood has intensified in recent days.
A response from Angela Roseborough, some sort of equality officer at Riot Games, has also been made public through Waypoint.
What is the lawsuit about? In Summer 2018, a report about the work culture at the LoL developer Riot Games was published. This report spoke of sexism in the workplace. Especially women reportedly suffered under a macho culture that the tech company cultivated.
However, it is said that there is a clause in the employment contracts of Riot Games that prohibits employees from suing their employer. Allegedly, employees commit to resolving disputes internally.
The lawyer of the two women now wants to take action against this clause. According to him, employees are silenced by such measures and announcements about changes in work culture are nothing more than lip service.
A strike looms
This is how the employees are reacting: A non-specified number of employees from Riot Games plan to strike on Monday, May 6, according to the news that Waypoint received. The employees feel poorly treated and “ignored”.
ohnoitslubu comments: “They did not fire the people at the top who are responsible for all this. And now they expect everything to be fine because they explained for the 17th time that it will get better?”
Furthermore, many do not understand why Riot’s COO Scott Gelb is still working in the company. He is reportedly one of those who behaved particularly inappropriately and shows very little respect for colleagues.
This is what the company says about it: Riot Games is aware that a strike is looming. Therefore, they are offering employees talks to discuss the issues. Anyone interested should sign up on a list. The talks are to be held in a small, preferably private setting.
Riot Games promises improvement and wants to implement changes in the corporate culture. But the company has claimed this before.
Fans stand behind the Riot employees
This is why the employees are unhappy: The employees find the proposal from Riot Games insufficient.
The employees prefer to stand together to represent their position as a group.
How do the fans react? Discussions about the situation are taking place on Reddit. The fans of Riot Games are siding with the employees. Many find a clause in the employment contract that prohibits employees from going to court unacceptable.
Furthermore, some see the problem in the management.

Since April 10, the MMORPG Albion Online has been playable as a Free2Play game. This switch has visibly benefited the online game. The number of players has tremendously increased, and even after three weeks, there are still queues when logging in.
In the past 30 days, there have been an average of about 5,600 players online at the same time. At peak times, it was even 13,312.
In March 2019, the game had an average of about 330 players online and a peak of 758.
The Steam numbers are thus 52 times (average) and 16 times (peak) higher than in the previous month.
These are very good numbers. Especially the Easter weekend and the weekend following that were a great success for the MMORPG.
The record of 13,312 players was reached by Albion Online on April 28. Will this record be surpassed next weekend?
The Downsides of Success
What problems have arisen due to the success? This high number of players is causing the performance of the game to suffer. Queues are also appearing because too many fans want to log in. Some of these queues are over 6,000 players long. However, it is slowly stabilizing.
Nevertheless, there are still queues and lags due to the high player numbers. And this is three weeks after the switch to Free2Play. This shows that the success is lasting longer than one might have thought.
Why is the MMORPG currently doing so well? There are several reasons for the success of Albion Online.
Especially in Eastern Europe, the MMORPG is extremely popular. It is seen as the spiritual successor to the classic Tibia, which is one of the most popular online role-playing games in Poland. With the switch to Free2Play, many Tibia fans are trying out the title now. And apparently, they are enjoying it.
Generally, many players test a new MMORPG when it switches to a Free2Play model.
Albion Online is well received by PvP fans, as it heavily focuses on player-versus-player battles and territorial wars.
The MMORPG offers a lot of freedom, especially through its character system, where your equipment determines what role you play.
Team play is important. A good guild is basically essential for surviving in the world and achieving something. The team play is well received.
Albion Online offers players many challenges. It does not guide the player as much as other MMORPGs do. Many find this appealing.
The Free2Play system is considered fair, as you can essentially earn everything through gameplay. Although it is possible to spend a lot of money to progress faster, it is not strictly necessary. You can even earn the premium status. Spending money just minimizes the grind a bit.
Is Albion Online free of problems? As well as the MMORPG is currently doing, there are also some critical voices. The character creation with too few options for customization is a point of criticism.
It is also not well received that other players can take loot away from you. And if you’re not interested in PvP, you won’t be happy in the open PvP zones, as you can’t avoid entering these areas later in the game.
Will the success last? The coming weeks will show whether Albion Online can establish long-term success. So far, the situation looks good. If the developers can tackle the issues with queues and lags and continue to provide many new contents, the MMORPG could experience a second spring.
InCall of Duty: Black Ops 4, the new Operation Spectre Rising will be launched on April 30th with an update on PS4. Fans can look forward to these contents during the new season.
What are Operations in Black Ops 4? Operations are part of the so-called Supply Stream Progression. This system is intended to continuously supply Black Ops 4 with fresh content, similar to how Fortnite manages with Seasons.
The Operations in Black Ops 4 are essentially nothing more than Seasons. They also provide new seasonal content for the game at certain intervals. The latest operation is now called Spectre Rising.
This is what the new Operation Spectre Rising offers you in Black Ops 4
When exactly does the new Operation start? Operation Spectre Rising will initially start on April 30th on PS4. An exact time is not yet known, but updates and content drops usually occur around 7 PM our time.
The launch on PC and Xbox One will traditionally take place a week later.
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Multiplayer
Multiplayer enthusiasts can look forward to numerous new contents during the new season. Some of them will start in the launch week, while others will follow during the course of the new operation. We have summarized the highlights for you.
New Specialist: As previously teased, a new specialist Spectre, an old fan favorite, is coming to Black Ops 4. He carries a smoke grenade as specialized equipment, which is perfect for stealth kills. Only Spectre can see through this dense smoke.
Moreover, Spectre uses his special ability, the Shadow Blade – a sword. This shifts the view to third-person perspective, providing better visibility as Spectre dodges enemy fire with acrobatic moves and slices his opponents.
Spectre will be unlocked on the first tier of the new stream and will then be available as a playable character in traditional multiplayer and in Blackout.
New maps: Owners of the Black Ops Pass can look forward to the following 3 maps
Masquerade: Takes place at a festival in a densely populated residential area of Bangladesh and in a multi-story building of the US Embassy.
Artifact: Takes place in a rocky landscape of Iceland, where you can move in a platform-style manner across multiple levels and fight for advantageous positions.
WMD: This popular map originally comes from Black Ops 1, set on the grounds of an old, abandoned Soviet base in a snowy mountainous region.
Additionally, there will be an alternative version of the Hacienda map available to all players, which can now be played during dusk.
New weapons: These weapons can be earned from day one through the new stream:
Nifo’Oti melee weapon
Light Machine Gun (LMG) Tigershark
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Blackout mode
Here are the biggest highlights you can expect during the season in Blackout:
New map updates: As some fans have already speculated, the game world of Blackout will change as part of the new season.
Wetworks: The dam on the regular large map of Blackout will be blown up, flooding large areas of the landscape. The areas around Hijacked (Yacht), Cargo Docks, or the Farm near the shooting range are now underwater. You can also move around with boats there.
Alcatraz map: Game flow and layout will be improved.
New game modes:
Bounty Hunter: Find Spectre crates from which you can get his “Shadow Blade” sword as well as numerous other useful items like Level 3 armor, smoke grenades, and stealth perks. When you equip the Shadow Blade, you become Spectre with unique skills. Fight your way to the top in a constantly shrinking circle.
Ground War: Large-scale “team vs. team” battles that can descend into pure chaos.
New characters:
Uncle Frank (older Sgt. Woods from Black Ops 2, only with the Black Ops Pass)
Misty from the Zombies Victis crew
Sergei, Renzov’s prison buddy
Sarah Hall, a reconnaissance expert infected with CORVUS from Black Ops 3
Blackjack, the black market dealer
Mason, the main protagonist from Black Ops
New weapons and gear:
DART killstreak from regular multiplayer is now also available in Blackout.
Throughout the operation, new weapons, vehicles, and other new equipment are to follow.
This is what Operation Spectre Rising offers in Zombies
New Gauntlets: Gauntlets are special challenges of the Zombie mode. They involve 30 rounds, can be repeated endlessly, and have unique rules for each round.
As part of Spectre Rising, there will be two new Gauntlets:
Super Blood Wolf Moon (for Dead of the Night)
Labours of Hercules (for Ancient Evil)
Additionally, Hard Mode Gauntlets are to follow. There will also be a new Mystery Box weapon (Tigerschark LMG) and two new features:
Classic Elixir Restock: When you consume an Elixir during a Zombie match, the empty slot will be filled with a random Classic Elixir.
Gauntlet Leaderboards for friends.
These innovations bring Operation Spectre Rising to the Black Market
New contraband stream: There will traditionally be a new stream with 50 ranks – for the first half of the operation. Players can unlock, among other things,
new weapons (Nifo’Oti melee weapon, Light Machine Gun Tigershark)
new Mastercraft weapons
new MKII weapons
new Blackout characters
new Specialist outfits
and more new cosmetic items like gestures, war paints, or jump packs.
More content is expected to arrive throughout the season.
New cosmetic items: There will also be two new categories for cosmetic items:
Death Effects: These change the effects of the projectiles you shoot. Instead of blood splatter, confetti rains down when you kill an opponent. All kills will then trigger the equipped effect.
Weapon Charms: These will allow you to further customize your weapons.

In Borderlands 3, you can already collect cool loot before the game is even released. This is possible with the help of Twitch.
Loot
is an essential part of the Borderlands series. There’s hardly anything
more satisfying than the good feeling of getting a fancy weapon in
the game, with which you can really give it to the crazy enemies in the
next few hours. It’s even cooler that fans can snag some weapons
and gear before the game’s release. All they have to do is watch streamers
play on Twitch.
How does it all work? Borderlands 3 uses a Twitch extension called ECHOcast. By using this, you can look closer at what the streamer is doing. For instance, you can see the exact weapons they are using, which talents they have chosen, or what kind of inventory they have. If you also link your Twitch account with your Shift account, there is another feature: Loot that the streamer receives can be used in your own game.

A loot piece from the streamer’s chest: Whenever the respective streamer opens a rare loot chest, all users of the ECHOcast extension have 30 seconds to activate it. After that, all users are entered into a draw, and some winners are randomly selected. These winners can choose an item that was in the streamer’s chest. That item will then drop directly into the in-game mailbox of Borderlands 3.
Loot before the release: In plain language, this means that fans can already collect their first loot pieces before the release of Borderlands 3. They just need to watch the streamers and pay attention to when they open a loot chest to have a chance at the extra loot.
When is the first loot available? The first gameplay sessions with streamers will be tomorrow, on May 1, 2019. Then our Leya will be able to play Borderlands 3, and anyone who wants can earn some loot that Leya gets her hands on.
How to participate: Anyone who wants to snag some first loot needs a Twitch account as well as a Shift account (register here). Next, you go to the account management of Shift, select “Game Platforms,” and link your Shift account with your Twitch account – done! Now you can snag loot when streamers are playing the game.
Will you secure some loot from the streamers before the game’s release? Or would you rather earn all the weapons yourself?
In Pokémon GO, players report about the release of Selfe, Tobutz, and Vesprit in the wild. Numerous trainers found the legendary Pokémon in the wild.
Here you can find the legendary Pokémon: Normally, you only find legendary Pokémon in raids or in research breakthroughs. However, reports of legendary Pokémon appearing in the wild are increasing.
Since around 5 AM, the special monsters have been appearing in the wild. Whether this is a mistake by Niantic or intentional remains to be seen.
What we know so far about the Lake Trio in the wild
Niantic has announced them: At 5 AM, Niantic posted a tweet about the sightings of the Lake Trio. It was assumed that they would take the place in the raids currently occupied by Groudon.

All the more surprising was that the 3 Pokémon can now be caught in the wild.
Where were the Pokémon sighted? Players report seeing the legendary Pokémon all over the world. Interestingly, the legendary Pokémon could be regional.
So the following Pokémon were discovered here:
Vesprit is caught in Europe
Selfe is caught in Asia and Oceania
Tobutz is caught in North America
Vesprit was already caught in Stuttgart.
On Reddit, players give a hint that the legendary Pokémon are supposed to spawn primarily around lakes. That would be fitting, as this trio is named after 3 lakes in the console games where they were found.
That’s why you should go hunting now: If you want to catch the legendary Pokémon in the wild, you should head out sooner rather than later, as many players initially suspected a bug at the release. How long the legendary Pokémon will stay is unknown.
However, it does not appear to be a mistake, as the Pokémon are still available in the wild. If it had been an error, it would have already been fixed long ago.
There was an error here: A similar mistake occurred with Schalellos. This Pokémon appeared in the wild for a short time during the night but then suddenly disappeared again.
Don’t miss the news: To stay up to date, follow our Facebook page for Pokémon GO and join our relevant group.
First gameplay footage of Borderlands 3 is circulating. It is unclear whether this was a planned Easter egg or a mistake by Gearbox just before the reveal. The hint on how to find the gameplay was hidden in an official YouTube video from Borderlands 3.
Where does the gameplay come from? Gearbox has introduced a new feature that allows players to earn loot in Borderlands 3 by watching Twitch diligently. This feature was presented in a short YouTube video. This YouTube video is therefore official and was nicely uploaded to the Borderlands 3 YouTube channel.
At one point in the video, an absurdly long name appears: “xfvkhjrvufoqpn3qwvmggipsd.“
Here in a video from the official channel, you can see a Twitch account name.
This was probably the name of a Twitch account. A user looked at this account on Twitch, it says on reddit, and found a clip.
This clip shows gameplay from Borderlands 3. It is about 26 seconds long.
Although the video was quickly deleted on Twitch, there are now mirrors (via streamable) circulating that show the gameplay.
Why are we seeing this already? It is not clear whether this was a mistake or if Borderlands 3 is hiding an Easter egg here to further hype.
What does the clip show? The actual clip shows an opened chest with some weapons:
there is a green weapon
a green grenade
and a gray weapon in a second box
In the background, Claptrap is chattering. He presents it as if this were currently a TV show and viewers have the chance to win every loot they are currently seeing.
Here are two screenshots from the clip that show the interface and weapons.
What happens next? On May 1, the gameplay is supposed to be officially shown at a big event. First, Gearbox wants to present Borderlands 3 itself, then streamers from around the world will get to take control.
Leya from MeinMMO will be on site and streaming the gameplay on MAX, the joint Twitch channel of MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro.
This evening, the Ground Event started in Pokémon GO. Now it is also known which bonuses are active for you.
Update: The Ground Event started on April 29th at 10:00 PM. The bonuses are:
Increased spawning of Ground Pokémon
Shiny Diglett can now be found in the wild
Double Stardust for catching Pokémon
Double candies for catching Pokémon
Groudon appears in raids
How long are the bonuses active? These bonuses are active from April 29th to May 2nd.
Continuing with the original announcement:
What players look forward to: The Ground Event was announced in connection with an Earth Day initiative. If enough players collect trash, then a Ground Event will take place.
So far, it is known that over 5000 players participated in the initiative. This would unlock some bonuses, but part of it has not been reached yet. The initiative already ended yesterday, on April 28th.
However, Niantic has now provided new information. What bonuses have been unlocked additionally? At what time does the event start? Players are eagerly waiting.
The Earth Day Event – All we know so far
When does the event start? So far, we only know that the event is supposed to start today, on April 29th. So far, the event has not started yet. We assume it starts at 10 PM, as events usually do.
The Earth Day initiative is over. Now we are waiting for the announcement of the participant numbers
The event runs, according to previous announcements, until May 2nd. So you have less than a week for the bonuses.
What is known about bonuses? With currently 5000 confirmed participations, there are the following bonuses:
Shiny Diglett comes into the game
Increased spawns of Ground Pokémon
What players are still hoping for: So far, there is no confirmation from Niantic about whether 7000 players helped collect trash. If this is the case, then Groudon would appear in raids and the double amount of Stardust and candies would be available.
Shiny Diglett is already confirmed. The confirmation for Groudon is still missing.
When can we expect a confirmation? Since the event is supposed to start today, Niantic should also announce something soon. At the latest by 10 PM, when events normally start, we should expect a confirmation.
However, it is also possible that not over 7000 players went out to collect trash, which would mean not all bonuses were unlocked. We will have to wait and see.
A new raid boss should also be expected from this evening. These are the hot candidates:
With Mordhau comes a new sword fighting game in the style of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare or For Honor on Steam. Just before release, the developers released a new trailer and revealed the features.
What is Mordhau? Mordhau is a so-called “multiplayer slasher,” where you face off against each other on battlefields similar to shooters. Instead of various firearms, you use swords, axes, bows, and crossbows.

Mordhau supports battles with up to 64 players simultaneously, battling to the death in a realistic world. You can play in first or third person.
The name of the game, Mordhau, is derived from a particularly brutal sword strike that is frowned upon by many swordsmen. In this, the fighter takes their sword by the blade and kills the opponent lying on the ground by striking the pommel through their helmet.
This is how the sword is wielded during the eponymous Mordhau.
Here are the features of Mordhau: Mordhau offers you numerous features in the game:
Battlefields with up to 64 players
Horde mode with co-op and offline functionality
Special gameplay styles for melee and ranged combat
Character customization for weapons and armor
various weapons such as swords, bows, catapults, and ballistae
realistic combat physics that simulate the impact of hits
removable limbs
mounted combat
This is how Mordhau is currently received: There are no reviews and playtests for Mordhau yet. However, there is already a fan community for the game. The corresponding Subreddit for Mordhau already has over 6,000 members who actively exchange ideas.
The qualification for the Fortnite World Cup is in full swing, and in week 3, the first big streamer, Tfue, has qualified. He celebrated his qualification joyfully live on Twitch until his girlfriend interrupted and shouted to the chat: “Tfue has to stop now, he is drunk.”
That’s why the World Cup qualification was a big deal for Tfue: Turner “Tfue” Tenney (22) had been trying unsuccessfully to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup for the past two weeks. As a streamer, he was at a huge disadvantage because others know his tactics, stream snipe him, and he became a preferred target for attackers.
All the more exuberant was his cheer now. Because at the World Cup in Fortnite, it’s about 30 million dollars.
How Tfue celebrates his qualification for the World Cup
What the viewers see: A first clip shows Tfue’s gameplay that was enough for qualification. There, Tfue is still anxious and hopes that his 69 points are enough for qualification.

Once it’s clear that he has qualified, Tfue takes his stream viewers with him in his celebrations. He climbs out of a ground-level window and lets his family and friends douse him with champagne.
Meanwhile, the stream continues, and you can hear the shouting of joy from the streamer and his family.

This is how his girlfriend reacts: After Tfue comes back inside, he sits down at his PC and talks to his community. It’s clear that he is tipsy and can no longer express himself clearly. He explains that now that he is going to New York, everything else is trivial to him.
His girlfriend then comes over to his desk and says: “Chat, he has to stop now, he is drunk. Come on now!” Afterwards, she even says: “The softy weighs so little that he can’t handle it!”.
Tfue only responds that he is not drunk, just a little tipsy, but then submits to it.

Tfue is the first of the really big streamers to qualify for the World Cup. Before him, the Fortnite wonder kid Mongraal also qualified for the World Cup. The 14-year-old made it with his duo partner already in week 2.
Why do streamers have it so hard? The top streamers have thousands of viewers while they are battling for qualification. Some viewers are in the same lobby with the streamers and are essentially hunting them. Furthermore, their preferences are known.
Many streamers also simply do not belong to the top players, but are entertainers.
The streamer Ninja has not yet qualified for the World Cup
What stands out in the qualifications: If you look at the list of players qualified so far, you hardly see any names known from Twitch.
The streamers known for their gaming skills like Myth or Ninja had their great successes early on in Fortnite. Back then, they impressed in games “against regular opponents” with aggressive and advanced playstyles and made a name for themselves early on.
These successful pros from 2018 are currently not breaking through, while players are coming to the forefront who have not built large Twitch channels.
Players must spend a lot of time getting used to the “new Fortnite” and readjusting. Many streamers who mainly go for kills and spectacular play are at a disadvantage here.
These two players will certainly not qualify for the World Cup:
