This is the status of WoW Classic in May 2019 – is there another beta coming?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

For some time now, there has been increasing work on WoW Classic. Now hints have emerged that a Beta might be released before the launch. A test version even already exists.

What new information is available? In mid-April 2019, a new, larger file was distributed in Blizzard’s Content Distribution Network (CDN). This was labeled “wow_classic_beta/cdns”. (via wccftech)

Shortly after, Community Manager Bornakk clarified in the official Blizzard forum that this found “Beta” is only an Alpha test for developers.

This “Beta” is supposed to test various features, such as logging in via the Battle.net app. Otherwise, there have been no official announcements about the Beta yet.

wow classic bornakk about the beta

How likely is a Beta? So far, no decision has been made on whether there will be a Beta for testing Vanilla-WoW. It is also difficult to predict which direction Blizzard will go.

Supporting reasons for a Beta:

  • that World of Warcraft itself is developed with the help of a Public Test Realm and various Betas to improve ongoing and new expansions.
  • the emergence of the developer test version. It opens up the possibility of later making this available to Beta testers.

Against it:

  • that WoW Classic already essentially exists as a finished game.
  • It does not need to be completely redeveloped, and much feedback on the updates it receives comes from the community that played it earlier.

If a Beta does come, it should probably be released in the near future, as the release of WoW Classic is planned for summer 2019.

Many fans are eagerly awaiting Classic

How to participate in the Beta if it comes: Interested parties can register for Betas of World of Warcraft via the Beta settings on their Battle.net account.

In the corresponding support article, which is only available in English, it is noted that currently no public Beta is available. Registration only grants the chance to be invited to the Beta test if a Beta comes.

This is the status of WoW Classic: WoW Classic will not be exactly as it was back then. However, many of the elements of Vanilla will still be retained. This includes that

All of this is reasons for fans to look forward to WoW Classic. The community is already preparing for the launch in various Reddit threads, sharing information and memes or approaching the expected release of Classic with a healthy dose of self-irony.

Denmark’s Prime Minister plays CS:GO with professionals and now wants to promote eSports

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The Prime Minister of Denmark, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, played some rounds with the CS:GO team Astralis and asked them a few questions. Now he plans to anchor eSports more firmly in Denmark.

The purpose of the meeting: Lars Løkke Rasmussen has been advocating for eSports for some time and appears to be interested in competitive gaming. He opened the CS:GO tournament Blast Pro Series in Copenhagen in November 2018 with a speech.

His interest in eSports evidently continued, leading him to meet with the professional team Astralis. For over two hours, he discussed with the professionals, shared his views, and even played some rounds with them.

Rasmussen, together with the Danish Ministry of Culture, plans to create “a good framework” for eSports in Denmark. In a press release Culture Minister Mette Brock mentioned that such a framework is important because eSports is constantly growing, and they want to build an understanding of young people’s interest.

Counter Strike Global Offensive title
The Prime Minister played Counter Strike with a professional team

Why strengthen eSports? In a short interview with the site Motherboard Rasmussen spoke more specifically about the reasons for the meeting and his plans:

Many young people game. According to statistics, I think it’s 96% of all Danish boys who play at least twice a week. They sit in their basements and their rooms behind closed doors, and I think many parents wonder what they are actually doing.

And then they can watch Astralis and realize that gaming also involves meeting people in real life, having good sleeping habits, good nutrition, and exercise. […]

Many of my colleagues don’t yet appreciate gaming as a sport. But I think we can change their minds. The really important work RFRSH is doing [Note from the editors: RFRSH takes care of the media presence of Astralis] and brings Astralis to the forefront will change the whole landscape of eSports globally.

As it sounds in the interview, the plans are not only about entering the growing eSports industry but also about showing what gaming really is. That it is more than just playing, as some experts have already demonstrated in our stream.

Who is Astralis? Astralis is an eSports organization and a CS:GO team that partially consists of former members of the well-known team Team SoloMid. Astralis has been recognized as the best CS:GO team overall for many years. They have finished in 1st place in most premier league tournaments of the game in recent years.

Rasmussen himself identifies Astralis as “role models” or “icons” for young gamers, especially in Denmark. Their behavior, their training, and their style of play are intended to set an example of what gaming is all about and to show parents what their children are actually interested in.

The team captain, Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander, is pleased about the opportunity to make a difference for gamers and eSports in general.

What about Germany? Here, growth in eSports is still quite limited. Although there are plans by the government to expand eSports, some politicians still strongly oppose eSports as a sport.

In smaller areas, however, successes can already be recorded. We spoke with a young eSports organization that has already made a name for itself at least around Lake Constance:

PS Plus May 2019 allegedly leaked – Free PS4 games are 2 celebrated niche games

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The games for May 2019 from PlayStation Plus have apparently been leaked. It looks like some really great titles are waiting!

Every month, there is a small selection of free games available for everyone who has a “PlayStation Plus” subscription, which can be downloaded from the store. It seems that the games for May have already been leaked in advance. Accordingly, the free games for May are:

  • Overcooked
  • What Remains of Edith Finch

Update May 1, 5:30 PM – The leak was correct, Overcooked and What Remains of Edith Finch are available as free PS Plus games in May

Where does the leak come from? The leak apparently comes from the Russian PlayStation Store. Some players were able to view the offer early and see in a graphic that the two games are “Overcooked” and “What Remains of Edith Finch.”

PS Plus Leak Overcooked Edith Finch
Image source: resetera.com

What kind of games are these? Both games have received very good ratings and are extremely popular among players. Overcooked has a solid score of 78 points on Metacritic, while What Remains of Edith Finch boasts a fantastic 88 points, making it a top contender in terms of ratings.

For those who don’t find both games interesting, the current “Big in Japan” sale in the PS Store offers interesting games that might fly under the radar for many gamers. In the Deal of the Week, the classic Hitman 2 is also available.

What is Overcooked? Overcooked is a pretty hectic and crazy couch co-op game where you and up to three other players take on the roles of chefs and must serve guests. Ingredients need to be prepared and dishes cooked. Because that would be too easy alone, the levels change and become more and more insane. Sometimes you’ll be working in a burning volcano and sometimes on drifting ice floes that connect different areas of the kitchen. With all the mishaps and funny moments, no eye stays dry.

What is What Remains of Edith Finch? The second title is a must for anyone who enjoys a dense story and a gripping atmosphere. Without giving too much away, the game is a collection of short stories that deal with the various family members of the Finch family. The game has many emotional and touching moments and is likely to bring a tear to those who are “close to tears.”

Both games, should they indeed come, are worth the download in any case. So keep your eyes peeled and consider a “PS Plus” subscription if in doubt.

Do you already own these games? What do you think of the games this month? Is it worth a subscription?

The big patch in May is extremely important for Guild Wars 2 – This should be included

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In May, the new Guild Wars 2 episode “Eternal War” is set to be released. The patch will be significant for the MMORPG, not just because it is the first major update since the layoffs in February.

What’s included in the new episode? Each chapter of the Living World comes with a new story and a new area to explore. However, in a new teaser, ArenaNet has revealed the additional content of “Eternal War”.

A new feature is the new mount “Sky Scale”, which was already introduced by Eurogamer. Additionally, we can look forward to the new legendary greatsword Exordium and the new Mist Shard armor.

With this episode, the developers will not only conclude the Living World Season 4 but also the second generation of legendary weapons. Furthermore, they are already releasing the second armor set in the season.

When does Eternal War come out? The episode is set to be released in May according to the teaser. However, ArenaNet has not yet revealed an exact date.

However, we know from the past that patches typically release on a Tuesday. Usually, the date is announced a week in advance.

The new episode decides the future of the game

What happens in the story? The last episode “All or Nothing” left us with a very tragic ending. We lost our dragon Aurene in the fight against Kralkatorrik, and the Elder Dragon escaped us. Essentially, all hope seems lost now.

The last episode of the season must therefore hold some surprises for us to possibly defeat the Elder Dragon. If we do not confront Kralkatorrik, this episode could feel like a filler, which would be a wasted opportunity given the tension and the end of a season.

For the entire unfolding of the story, it is therefore important how ArenaNet wants to weave this narrative. And thus, the episode has a significant influence on the future of the game.

Guild Wars 2 Aurene as a baby dragon
Aurene as a baby dragon

What’s next for Guild Wars 2? We already know that following this season of the Living World no expansion will follow. Instead, another season is planned.

Thus, ArenaNet must now prove that they can deliver proper stories and innovations without an addon. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep long-term and active players engaged just with the episodes alone.

They have already taken a step by announcing regular bonus weeks. Nevertheless, the future episodes need to step up compared to the past.

Path of Fire – The expansion from 2017

The future of ArenaNet: This episode is also exciting because it carries symbolic weight for the future of ArenaNet. After the mass layoffs in February, the team had to reorganize.

Allegedly, these layoffs will not negatively impact the development of Guild Wars 2. Now it’s up to the developers to prove this. A successful new episode would be just what they need.

At least the roadmap for the future of Guild Wars 2 looks positive:

TERA meets Pokémon: You can now breed and improve “Partners”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The European TERA under Gameforge has received a new partner system. Players can now secure better “pets” that have really good abilities.

In the MMORPG TERA (PC) in Europe, patch 81 is now live, which is called “Illusions of Damnation”.

In addition to new dungeons and the ability to convert old costumes into badges for new costumes, there is a revamp of the companion system. From now on, you can get “partners” who have even stronger abilities.

When can you get partners? You can unlock your first partner starting at level 66. For this, simply accept the corresponding quest at the Heights Watch, which unlocks the partner system at the end. The quest also rewards you with the first partner.

TERA Partners

What can partners do? Partners have their own levels and two different abilities: one passive and one active ability. The strength and duration of these abilities depend on the level of the partner and their bond with the player. A few examples of the abilities would be:

  • 10%/15%/20% increased critical success chance when crafting for 5 minutes.
  • 5%/10%/15% additional experience points when defeating monsters for 30 seconds.
  • 500/750/1000 mana regeneration per second for 3 seconds when mana points are low.

These and other abilities make partners more than just toys, as they can provide real gameplay advantages.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQvwXQMsyDQ
In this trailer, Gameforge promotes the new update

Sacrificing partners to level up partners: The system is a bit cruel as well. If you want to level up your partners, you have to “feed” them with other partners.

You use an unappreciated partner as material and thus grant your desired partner experience points. This way, the partner levels up, their bond with you increases, and so does the effect and duration of their abilities.

TERA Auto use

If desired, you can even teach your partners abilities from companions. For example, a partner can learn to automatically use a healing or mana potion for the character when their health points (or mana points) fall below a certain value. This value can be individually set for both cases.

Where can you see the partner system in action? Here in the stream, Gameforge employees present the new system:

Highlight: Patch 81: Partners and new Dungeon from TeraEurope on www.twitch.tv

Sacrificing companions to breed partners: It is also possible to level up the “old” companions and later fuse them to create a new partner with some luck. However, there is no guarantee of success, and the attempt can fail. So you should consider carefully whether you want to fuse two companions and take the risk.

Tera Angelic Buttefly Creatures
In addition to the companions, a new dungeon is also waiting.

In summary, partners are a significantly stronger and more versatile version of the previous companions. Anyone who enjoys collecting and leveling their “pets” will likely have fun with the new system.

Mordhau is a huge success on Steam and that is its problem

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Mordhau has already proven to be a huge success for the indie developer Triternion shortly after its release. However, its popularity is currently the crux of Mordhau, as the influx of players is causing difficulties.

This is how successful Mordhau is: After its release on April 29, Mordhau has risen to number 1 in the worldwide bestseller list on Steam. (As of May 1 at 12:00, via Steam)

Since then, according to Steamcharts, over 25,000 players have played Mordhau simultaneously with an average player count of 16,807 players.

Mordhau is also doing well on Twitch. In the past three days, Mordhau has had up to 87,400 viewers simultaneously, placing it at number 9 in the “Peak Viewer” category.

Mordhau Sullygnome Peak Viewers Mai
Data via sullygnome

This is the problem with success: The influx of players is currently causing issues for the servers. There are frequently very high pings and sometimes very uneven matches, where players can hardly play properly due to the poor connection.

Actually, up to 64 players should be able to play together and against each other in Mordhau’s largest standard mode “Frontline.” However, since many people have been complaining about connection issues, the developers have currently reduced this to 48 players. While this helps, it is not yet the solution. (via PCGamer)

The server structure is also causing many players issues in connecting with groups. It frequently happens that a group finds a server, but some players cannot connect because there is not enough space.

Mordhau Main Menu Frontline
The game modes in the main menu

Are there any other problems? Yes. Currently, some bugs are still circulating. Many fans complain that they receive neither experience nor gold after completing a match. This error is already known, as Triternion confirmed on reddit and they are working on it.

Experience points increase your account level, allowing you to buy new and different weapons and armor with the gold you have obtained. The developers promised that there would be compensation for the currently unreceived experience and gold.

Mordhau Character Customization Level and Gold

How good is Mordhau? Currently, the reviews for Mordhau are “mostly positive.” 76% of the total 2,158 reviews on Steam give a thumbs up. (As of May 1 at 12:00)

Players often praise:

  • the great graphics and performance
  • the challenging yet great gameplay with realistic weapon handling
  • the dismemberment of body parts
  • the progression system with gold and EXP, which many similar games like Chivalry lack in this form

The negative reviews, on the other hand, primarily criticize exactly the problems that Triternion is currently working on. There are often complaints about teammates, as “Friendly Fire” is active and some players are reportedly often killed by friendly fire.

Black Desert brings hellish Doom mount – Shows exact plans for May and June

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Black Desert has released the new burning Doom mount. Additionally, an overview of what new features are expected to come to the game in the coming weeks has been provided in the forum.

What is special about the Doom mount? Besides the cool flame effects, the T9 Hell mount Doom also has some useful features to offer.

It can carry two players as the only T9 horse. In addition, it has a double jump and can inflict significant damage on enemies.

Opinions currently differ regarding the speed. While Doom is indeed a fast mount on a straight path, as this video shows, it struggles with navigating obstacles compared to others.

The new mount Doom

How can you obtain the new Doom mount? Like all T9 mounts, you need a T8 mount at level 30, various materials, and a lot of luck.

You must train the T8 mount to 200% and then upgrade it. With some luck, you will receive a higher-tier mount. However, the upgrade can also fail, and the training starts all over again.

On Reddit, there are currently various numbers and videos regarding attempts to obtain Doom. Some succeeded in awakening it in just a few tries, while others needed 30, 48, or even more attempts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zuH6_Yjruo&ab_channel=BlackDesertOnline

New Plans for Upcoming Updates

The developers of Black Desert released a roadmap for the game a few days ago. This has now been further specified in the forum.

What’s coming in May: Three zones from the deep sea are planned for mid-May. They are:

  • The Protty Cave on the island of Weita
  • The upper zone of the underwater ruins Sycraia
  • The deep region of the underwater ruins Sycraia

For the deep region, the developers suggest an attack power of 280. It is said to be the most challenging combat zone in Black Desert.

Also in May, the main quests in Mediah are set to be reworked. Even if you have already completed the quests, you should be able to revisit them and discover new stories.

On May 30th, there will be 53x the +530% experience points scroll as a gift. The developers will announce how this will work in the near future.

The new underwater region

What’s coming in June: At the beginning of June, the new area Star’s End in Northwest Calpheon is set to appear. There you will receive the new Blackstar weapons, which are among the strongest weapons in the game. This area is said to follow the last major patch for Drieghan.

A major overhaul of the gathering professions and new equipment that helps enhance these talents have also been announced for June.

An overhaul of the gathering professions is on the way

Where did the group content go? While the roadmap still discussed a completely new group experience, nothing of that is mentioned in the current forum post.

So far, there has been no response to players’ inquiries. It seems these contents will not appear in the second quarter of 2019.

FIFA 19: Update 1.14 is live on PS4 and Xbox One – Patch Notes

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

For FIFA 19, Update 1.14 has now been released. It is already available today on May 1st for the consoles PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One and brings technical improvements. We look at the patch notes: What does the update change and how big is it?

The update is live: The update has been online since April 30th and can be downloaded. Unusually, the update did not, as usual, come out first for PC players.

This update is available on all platforms simultaneously. Therefore, PlayStation and Xbox players also have to download it to utilize the online content of FIFA.

This is the size of the update: Considering that the changes of this update are quite modest, the patch has a considerable size: 1.5 GB must be downloaded.

These are the patch notes for Update 1.14

This issue is being fixed:

  • A problem with the telemetry special tool used to investigate gameplay reactivity.
  • You can find more information about the tool in the latest notes post on gameplay reactivity at: https://www.ea.com/de/games/fifa/fifa-19/news/fifa-19-pitch-notes-april-update
Changelog for Update 1.14
Changelog for Update 1.14

This is the telemetry special tool: With the help of this tool, EA gathers feedback from FIFA players. However, not all FIFA players are surveyed, only EA’s Gamechangers, meaning FIFA professionals, YouTubers, and streamers can utilize the telemetry special tool.

How the tool works: At the end of a round of FIFA, the telemetry tool appears for the selected FIFA players and questions them about gameplay problems during the last match.

An event is coming soon in Berlin in Pokémon GO – With rare Shinys

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The Pokémon GO players in Berlin can look forward to a new event starting soon only in our capital. There you will get the chance for rare Shinys and additional bonuses. The event starts on May 6.

When does the event start? This event runs for just a few days from May 6 to May 8 and brings you several bonuses throughout Berlin.

It takes place in conjunction with re:puplica, a large conference about social media. This conference will be held at that time in Berlin.

Which Pokémon will be available? Throughout Berlin, Magnetilo and Bronzel will spawn more frequently during the event. These two Steel-type Pokémon are otherwise quite rare in the wild. Magnetilo can even be Shiny.

All information about the event in Berlin

What bonuses are there? The YouTuber “Spieletrend” announces the bonuses that will be active during the event on his Twitter account. There will be Lure Modules that last for 4 hours and double Stardust.

Additionally, there will be special PokéStops at the re:puplica venue. So it’s worth stopping by there.

That’s why the spawns are worth it: Especially Magnetilo is an interesting spawn as it is quite rare outside of events. Its Shiny form is among the rarest in the game.

Shiny Magnetilo
This is what Shiny Magnetilo looks like

Why is Niantic hosting an event there? The developers of Pokémon GO will also be present at the re:puplica. Anne Beuttenmüller, a Niantic employee, will give a talk there about the professions behind Pokémon GO.

Is a trip worth it? Since the event is to take place throughout Berlin and there are quite strong bonuses, a trip for players could be worthwhile. Regardless of the re:puplica, you can spend an exciting day there with the bonuses.

This year, Niantic is already holding its second event in Berlin. Recently, there was such an event in Berlin around the ITB. However, there were only increased spawns of Teddiursa and Ursaring. The current spawns are much more interesting.

It looks like The Division 2 is getting a new exotic weapon for your favorite weapon type

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Players are hoping for a new exotic weapon in The Division 2. According to a comment from Content Lead Hamish Bode, it looks like an exotic assault rifle is coming. This is the favorite weapon category of the agents.

Why are players hoping for this? As reported by GamesRadar the Content Lead of The Division 2, Hamish Bode, fueled this speculation in a live stream.

A user commented that an exotic assault rifle is still missing in The Division 2.

Bode reportedly responded, “You will be quite happy then.”

Players take this as a glimmer of hope that such a weapon could soon come to The Division 2 – perhaps in the next major update, which will bring the raid and many other improvements. The update is scheduled for May.

division-warlord
“Warlord” was an exotic assault rifle from The Division 1.

Why do players want such a weapon? The assault rifle is by far the most popular weapon category in The Division 2.

In our survey at MeinMMO, over 3700 people voted on which weapon category they use the most:

  • 2213 chose assault rifles – this is by a significant margin the favorite weapon of the agents.
  • In second place were light machine guns with 581 votes.
  • Rifles came in third place with 468 votes.

What are exotic weapons? Exotic weapons in The Division 2 are not necessarily designed to excel in “raw damage,” but rather to allow for unique playstyles. The weapons trigger special effects: The light machine gun “Pestilence” is designed to prevent opposing players in PvP from healing themselves.

division-caduceus-exo
Caduceus, also an exotic assault rifle from The Division 1.

Although there are already some exotic weapons in The Division 2, so far only the sniper rifle “Nemesis” has really caused a stir. It supports a playstyle where you wait a long time before a shot to “charge” it. It is generally popular among snipers to shoot less often, but accurately: Due to its immense damage, the weapon Nemesis is considered extremely powerful.

With the upcoming update, exotic weapons are to be generally strengthened.

In The Division 1, there were several exotic assault rifles that many fans want – an exotic assault rifle could also become a fan favorite in The Division 2.

division-liberator-exotic
The Liberator was another exotic from The Division 1.

What kind of weapon could it be? Gamesradar says some suspect it could be the “Eagle Bearer,” an unknown source leaked this weapon. The name “Eagle Bearer” is seen as a reference to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

However, nothing exact is known at this time. We will keep you informed on MeinMMO as soon as we know more.

Blizzard is not going to Gamescom 2019 – Here are the first reactions

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The Gamescom 2019 must take place without Blizzard. However, Blizzard fans find this quite acceptable – some German observers are worried that Gamescom 2019 is losing a major attraction.

Last night, there was the announcement that Blizzard will not be present at Gamescom 2019. There is simply nothing to announce, and they want to use the extra time to work on projects.

But how did this news resonate with the community? We take a look at the opinions about Blizzard’s absence across the internet.

Many have already come to terms with it: Basically, most Blizzard fans seem to have expected the announcement or at least are not surprised. In various subreddits related to the individual games, many show understanding. It would only make sense that Blizzard withdraws from Gamescom for now and instead prepares for their own BlizzCon.

As xInnocent writes: “Why should they announce their stuff at Gamescom when BlizzCon is just around the corner? I see no sense in that.”

The BlizzCon 2019 must be a success: Many players remember the BlizzCon 2018 as a major mess. There were only a few announcements, and the few (like Diablo: Immortal) were poorly received by a large portion of attending fans.

Therefore, it is suspected that BlizzCon 2019 will be a proper event “for the fans” and a faux pas like last year will not happen again.

Player asks at BlizzCon: Is Diablo Immortal an April Fool’s joke?
von Benedict Grothaus

Some react cynically: However, there are also some players who react quite cynically to the cancellation of Gamescom.

They understand Blizzard’s absence at Gamescom, as it “is obvious after all the layoffs that they no longer have people who can participate in such events.”

Activision Blizzard has indeed laid off numerous employees who were not directly involved in game development. Therefore, some suspect that currently, there are simply no people available for such an event.

However, no matter how Blizzard decides now, they will not be able to please all players. Or as MisterPotat summarizes:

“The irony is that many people thought Blizzard should have canceled BlizzCon 2018 because there wasn’t much new. Now people are complaining that they are not going to Gamescom. You can’t satisfy the people who just want to complain.

For me, this means they have learned their lesson and would rather not hold shows if they don’t have something substantial to show.”

Loss of significance for Gamescom?

How do German observers react? The news of Blizzard’s absence appears to also have an impact on the “Gamescom” fair itself. After all, losing Blizzard means losing an important attraction.

On German sites, one reads comments that express concern about Gamescom as an event:

  • “Oha … Will others follow? What could be the reason for that? America First? Make E3 Great Again. (via FB/Gameswirtschaft)”
  • If one really assumes half the hall, that is about 8000m² that are missing – The Cologne Trade Fair/Gamescom has something to compensate for. Independently of that, it is of course a serious blow for visitors if you are a fan of Blizzard and their titles, and the cosplay scene will regret this greatly, as there has always been a large contest there. (via FB/Gameswirtschaft).”
  • On our site MeinMMO, there were mainly comments that alluded to BlizzCon 2018, such as “Guys, don’t you have any Blizzard games, or what?” Apparently, they view it very critically, that Blizzard is turning to mobile platforms.

What do you think, why is Blizzard skipping Gamescom this year? Is there simply not enough to talk about? Do they not want to waste their powder from BlizzCon? Or are there really not enough people available?

Pokémon GO: Beware, a legendary raid hour is taking place today

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO a legendary raid hour is likely starting again this evening on May 1st. Players from New Zealand, where the event has already begun, report this.

This is what the event is about: When the event starts, every open gym will host a legendary raid. This will hatch at 6 PM, and you can raid at every gym for one hour.

This event first occurred on Good Friday. Surprisingly, you could encounter Latios more frequently for one hour. Such an event is comparable to the legendary lunch break.

When does it start? Tonight, on May 1st, at 6 PM German time, this event will likely start. It will run for exactly one hour.

All information about the legendary raid hour on May 1st.

This is what players report: Initially, there are again reports from trainers in New Zealand. It was already 6 PM on May 1st, and New Zealand trainers are showing screenshots of the numerous legendary raids.

Raid Hour New Zealand
Here you can see the numerous raids at 6 PM in New Zealand. Source: Reddit

In the coming hours, other countries will likely report on the raid hour.

Is the raid hour confirmed? Niantic hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet. This wasn’t the case the last time either.

Since we now know such an event, and players from New Zealand provide the same reports again, one can assume there will be a raid hour. However, this is not confirmed.

Update 3:15 PM: More and more countries are reporting the legendary raid hour. It will likely happen here at 6 PM as well.

What happens during the event? For one hour you can encounter Groudon more frequently in raids. The legendary Ground-type Pokémon can also be found as shiny.

Every open gym gets a legendary raid that runs from 6 PM to 7 PM.

Shiny Groudon
During the event, you may also encounter shiny Groudon.

These gyms do not host raids: During the event, almost all gyms will have 5-star raids. However, there are some exceptions. These include gyms that have a raid just before 6 PM. That raid will continue normally.

Another exception includes gyms where an EX raid has been triggered. If invitations are currently being sent out there, then no raid will take place.

That’s why Gamescom 2019 takes place without Blizzard

Kevin Nielsen Kevin Nielsen Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that they will not be present at Gamescom 2019. There will be news from Blizzard at BlizzCon 2019.

In a short statement Blizzard announced that they will not be attending Gamescom 2019. Thus, there will be no Blizzard booth and the usual image of half a hall filled only with Blizzard games will not be present.

Blizzard has nothing to show for Gamescom 2019

Why is Blizzard staying away from Gamescom this year? Blizzard itself justifies its absence by focusing on the development of current games and future projects. Already in spring, Blizzard announced that they will not have any major releases in 2019.

Blizzard emphasizes that Gamescom is an important event for the European as well as the global gaming community, and they will miss meeting players in Cologne this year. However, they plan to return with a booth at the event in the future.

At least the Gear Shop will be on site: You will not have to miss out on Blizzard merchandise, as the Blizzard Gear Shop will again be present in the shop area of Gamescom.

New announcements at BlizzCon 2019?

Blizzard emphasizes in the announcement regarding the end of Gamescom 2019 that they look forward to providing details about their projects, but as always, only when the time is right.

BlizzCon 2019 could be a good time for that: Last year, BlizzCon was relatively low on announcements, and Diablo Immortal did not exactly excite players. However, many of you want to try Diablo Immortal.

Thus, it seems that this year, following the end of Gamescom, BlizzCon will be the only stage for new announcements from Blizzard.

diablo-4-title
Will there be the long-awaited announcement of Diablo 4 at BlizzCon 2019?

New for Warcraft, Diablo & Co: BlizzCon 2019 is all about the 25th anniversary of Warcraft. Accordingly, it is expected that the next WoW expansion will be announced. This would also correspond to the normal cycle.

Furthermore, Diablo 4 is still on the table, and games like Overwatch and Hearthstone are also waiting for new updates or larger announcements.

Perhaps a completely new project? This year, it might even be the case that Blizzard announces a new project. They have hinted in the past that multiple projects are in the works. Among other things, mobile games are also conceivable.

WoW Classic and WoW Patch 8.2 still in 2019

Which games will still be released in 2019 by Blizzard? First and foremost, you can expect WoW Classic in the summer of 2019. Development here is progressing well, and Blizzard recently explained why it won’t be like before.

Furthermore, there will be the big Patch 8.2 for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Warcraft fans can also look forward to Warcraft 3: Reforged.

Diablo Immortal should also be released this year. However, this also shows that Blizzard’s line-up this year is indeed somewhat thin.

What do you think about Blizzard skipping Gamescom 2019? Do you expect many announcements at BlizzCon 2019 as a result?

Diablo 3 is getting easier – what is behind it?

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 4 minutes

More and more teams are managing to conquer the highest Nephalem Rifts at level 150 in Diablo 3. Why is the content becoming easier and what does this mean for the future? MeinMMO author Robert goes on a quest for answers.

What is the hardest content in Diablo 3? The large Nephalem Rifts in Diablo 3 are randomly generated dungeons that players must complete within 15 minutes. There are 150 levels of these rifts, with the highest level 150 presenting the greatest challenge that Diablo 3 has to offer.

For a long time, no player was able to reach the magical level 150. Now players are competing to see who can complete the rift in a shorter time. What has happened?

Diablo Immortal Combat Group

Why are records now falling? Blizzard has repeatedly adjusted and strengthened the classes in Diablo 3 during previous seasons. In addition to extensive class buffs, the armor sets have been adjusted repeatedly.

This has not only led to a currently very balanced class balance but also to increasingly better team compositions that were ultimately able to reach the highest Nephalem Rift level.

Under what circumstances is it possible to reach level 150? Initially, only teams consisting of four players could even reach the highest level. Since the currently running Season 16, teams of only three players can now also tackle the hardest difficulty level.

Completing a Nephalem Rift at level 150 within the required 15 minutes remains impossible for solo players as well as teams of two players. However, duo teams can already reach level 144. The best solo player currently achieves level 137 with a Necromancer.

diablo-3-ranking-necromancer
Necromancers achieve level 137

Even though the record cannot yet be broken in all compositions: If Blizzard stays true to its policy and continues to strengthen classes and armor, the last strongholds will fall sooner or later. Has Diablo 3 then become too easy? No, but better!

Diablo 3 is not only becoming easier, but also better!

Blizzard has a clever plan with Diablo 3: Games like Diablo 3 have a long lifespan. Diablo 3 has been around for seven years. Players regularly return to Seasons and show great interest, which is also reflected in the views of our articles.

Diablo 3
Diablo 3 has already been around for seven years

To ensure that a game can survive for so long, conditions must be created that keep players engaged. To be frank, the pure endgame of Diablo 3 is not exactly “extensive”:

Eventually, players will get stuck on the Nephalem Rifts. The incentive to continue improving is great. Blizzard has already introduced Nephalem Rifts up to level 150 in the game, knowing full well that no one will reach that level without Blizzard’s influence.

Diablo 3 Challenge Rifts Title

It was the famous carrot that urged players to continuously find better gear to reach higher rift levels. With the measured buffs and improvements that Blizzard regularly introduces to the game, the limits are continually being pushed.

That’s why Diablo 3 is becoming a better game: Diablo 3 epitomizes “power fantasy”. With ever better gear, players can take down larger hordes of enemies in shorter amounts of time. The bigger the numbers flashing across the screen, the better.

Diablo Immortal Crusader Title

Exactly this power fantasy is catered to by Blizzard as the classes and armors are continually strengthened. It won’t be long until solo players also reach the magical level 150. Stronger, higher, and further.

Players are excited about becoming stronger. But how much longer? What happens when level 150 becomes accessible to everyone and it is “only” a competition about who can complete the rift faster? That depends on the path Blizzard takes.

This is how Diablo 3 could proceed when everyone has achieved everything

Diablo 3 is structured in a way that allows Blizzard to tweak various levers without necessarily delivering “real” content. Should the majority of players ultimately be able to reach the Nephalem Rift level 150 in all compositions, the developer has some options up his sleeve:

  • The release of additional, even more difficult rift levels
  • New armor sets for players to farm
  • Large Nephalem Rifts with various modifications (less time, more enemies, disabled skills, etc.)
diablo-4-title

Is the further development of Diablo 3 a hint at Diablo 4? I personally could even imagine that Blizzard is actively working toward the announcement of a new installment with the influences in Diablo 3. What could be more fitting than the announcement or the release of Diablo 4 once all players have reached the highest spheres in the predecessor?

Through targeted nerfs and buffs, Blizzard could even work towards a specific deadline. This (admittedly somewhat adventurous) theory remains to be proven, but the roadmap for the near future seems clear.

It won’t be long before solo players also get to enjoy the highest rift levels. The exciting question will then be: What happens next?

What do you think? What plans does Blizzard have with Diablo 3 when the content becomes too easy?

Developers confirm additional game modes for Apex Legends, players hope for solo and duo

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Apex Legends is getting new game modes. The developers of the game have officially confirmed this on reddit. Fans hope to soon be able to play in solo and duo modes.

This is what Respawn says: In a reddit thread about the current status of Apex Legends, some players asked about further plans of the developers. Specifically, the user mergemonster asked about “new ways of playing” such as solo queues, skill-based matchmaking, and similar things.

In response, the community manager of Respawn, Jay “Jayfresh” Frechette, spoke up:

The short answer is: Yes. That’s all I can say about that.

Jayfresh_Respawn on reddit

This reaction came from Respawn shortly after discussing errors and plans, in which the new game modes also did not appear, although they have been on the community’s mind for a while.

Apex Legends Tritt ins Gesicht Titel

Which modes are coming? There is also no information on which specific modes are intended. The community has been waiting for some time for a way to play Apex Legends without being in teams of three.

However, all of this is still just wishes and possible modes that could be worked on. None of it has been confirmed yet.

Apex Legends Bunker auf der Karte
Modes limiting the map to areas like Skull Town or Bunker could also be possible.

When can we expect the modes? There is still no date for when new modes are to be implemented into the game. Regarding the development of the game, Jayfresh only wrote that they are listening to player feedback.

He thanked several times for the criticism of the game. It seems that some of it will find its place in Apex Legends soon – as will the newly confirmed modes.

The fact that criticism is heard is also evident from the example of Mirage, who is supposed to receive a small buff after community pressure:

Fortnite has a nasty building bug that probably cost a pro the World Championship and $50,000

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

A video shows a Fortnite pro proving that a bug cost him the qualification for the World Championship and with it a guaranteed $50,000.

What money is at stake? Players can currently qualify for the Fortnite World Championship, which boasts a hefty prize of $3 million for the first place.

But even if you just qualify for the World Championship, Fortnite already gives you $50,000. And exactly this amount a player did not receive because he lost a match due to a bug. According to the streamer, it was the only reason he failed to qualify.

At the Fortnite World Championship there is a lot of money at stake – Tfue has now qualified and celebrated heavily

Which player is involved? Owen “Animal” Wright is a professional Fortnite player for the team Sentinels. He played in the qualifiers for the Fortnite World Championship last weekend.

What happened? As the clip begins, the match looks pretty solid for Animal. He has several hundred materials, various weapons with enough ammunition, shield potions, and a glider.

He flies into the safe zone with his glider, sees enemies there, and tries to build right after landing. But none of his walls build up. Panic sets in, and he attempts to erect further walls, but that doesn’t work. In the end, he gets taken out and finishes the match in 26th place.

On Twitter, Animal writes about the video: “The only reason I did not qualify. This is a $50,000 bug. I am incredibly sad and truly believe I deserve a spot because I played very well. What can you do?”

As DotEsports reports, however, Animal needed to earn 11 more points in that match to secure his qualification.

Another player faced a bug when building (Caution, loud):

In Patch 8.30, Epic changed an important feature in Fortnite: Battle Royale. You can now choose what you want to build next while flying with the glider and activate that build.

“The ability to switch between items while gliding in quick access has been added.”

Gonzales explains that this function is responsible for the bug. “If you select the wall element [while gliding] after Patch 8.30 and click Turbo Build, the wall will not be erected.”

This is Turbo Building in Fortnite: Battle Royale

How do you fix the bug? According to Gonzales, you need to release the Turbo Build key and press it again to create the wall or other builds after landing.

It is not entirely clear whether this was really the bug that occurred with Animal. However, Gonzales’ explanation fits very well with the video shown.

What does Epic say about this? On Reddit, MrPopoTFS comments on ImSpeedyGonzales’ video, thanking him for the detailed video. He confirms that they are aware of the problem and are already working on a solution.

However, it is still unclear whether anything will change regarding Animal’s qualification.
