After Apex Legends had a dream start, the game is now steadily losing viewers. Even streaming giants like Shroud no longer have the desire and show this live.
What is the status of Apex Legends? Apex Legends has been steadily losing viewers on Twitch for some time now. Since its launch in February 2019, both peak viewers and average viewers have declined.
Previously, Apex Legends lost about half of all viewers. Currently, Apex Legends is only in 5th place for the most-watched categories on Twitch in the last 30 days (as of April 16 at 1:00 PM), behind:
League of Legends
Fortnite
GTA5
Just Chatting
Even huge streamers like the new star Shroud are speaking out. In one of his recent streams, he said that he might leave Apex Legends for good. He’d rather play PUBG again.

What is the problem? One of the biggest problems that Apex Legends has, according to many player reports, is a lack of content. So far, the following things have made their way into Apex Legends:
However, many players find this not enough and the Battle Pass has disappointed most fans rather than encouraging them to play. The rewards simply aren’t worth investing so much time.
In addition, there are issues with hackers, which particularly plague many players on PC, and annoying bugs. One such bug also occurred with Shroud, just when he was already frustrated with the game.

The plan of developer Respawn is to publish fewer updates but better ones that have been well-tested and bring more important content. However, players apparently prioritize having the most important points addressed immediately.
The start was very good: These problems overshadow the start of Apex Legends, which can confidently be described as bombastic. Apex Legends took over Twitch in no time and already reached 50 million players after 4 weeks.
What does this mean for Apex Legends? At the moment, the news looks like the end for Apex Legends. The US site Polygon sees it quite differently, however. They say what is happening with Apex Legends is normal.
It always happens that developers have to deal with a new game and updates. However, in the case of Apex Legends, the fall from the strong start to the weaker aftermath is much more severe. Competitors like Fortnite started more slowly and only achieved success after initial problems.
Whether this is really just growing pains and whether Respawn can manage to bring Apex Legends back to the size it had at the beginning remains to be seen.
Fortnite even says that the success of Apex Legends has not had any impact:
The final season of Game of Thrones has started, and some fans would love to have the atmosphere from the series in an MMORPG. Our author Alex believes: For fans of Game of Thrones looking for an online role-playing game, Guild Wars 2 is ideal!
What is Guild Wars 2? Guild Wars 2, or GW2, is an MMORPG from ArenaNet. The game was released in 2012 and introduced some innovations that have since been adopted by many other games in the genre.
These are the features of Guild Wars 2:
There is no vertical progression. Once players have obtained the maximum equipment, they can keep it forever. The wardrobe and transmutation system ensure that endgame content is primarily about aesthetics.
New, free story updates are released every 2-4 months. New raids and fractals are also regularly released at no additional cost.
The game is very social. Players cannot steal enemies or resources from each other and are frequently invited to large boss fights with other players.
The focus of the game is on the story. All story-relevant content is voiced.
The base game of Guild Wars 2 is free to play. However, to experience all new content, players need to purchase the two expansions. There are also various story content that can be purchased later for gems.
5 Reasons Why Game of Thrones and GW2 Fit Well Together
Guild Wars 2 is a fantasy role-playing game. As the logo suggests, dragons are our main opponents. And that’s already the first reason why GW2 and Game of Thrones go together.
Dragons Everywhere
How it is in Game of Thrones: The dragons have played an important role since the first season. By the end of the season, the three little ones hatched from their eggs.
Together with the Mother of Dragons, they experience adventures in the world and behave rebelliously towards their “mother” especially in the early years.
However, it is undeniable that they are especially needed in the fight against the Night King and his armies of White Walkers.
Daenerys Targaryen and one of her dragons
How it is in Guild Wars 2: The Elder Dragons are our enemies. However, we cannot simply defeat them all, as their loss and the resulting magic would throw the world out of balance.
To bind this magic, we have Aurene as our own dragon by our side. First, we retrieve her egg, then she hatches, and afterwards, we raise the dragon.
The dragon Aurene as a child – We raise her
Throughout the story, we fight alongside the others. The current story revolves around the battle against Kralkatorrik. However, even before that, we faced two Elder Dragons.
Anyone who wants to ride a dragon can likely do so with the next episode. Fans of the majestic creatures will definitely get their money’s worth in Guild Wars 2.
Crises Across the Entire World
How it is in Game of Thrones: Game of Thrones is a very complex world. There are conflicts between different ethnicities, cultures, or characters.
These conflicts range from disagreements and disputes to major wars. The characters experience many developments, some positive and some negative.
While Jaime Lannister was an arrogant and haughty character at the beginning, he has now developed into a mediator and carries many doubts with him.
Jaime Lannister – Goes through many developments during the series
The conflicts and developments make the world exciting and tangible for the viewers.
How it is in Guild Wars 2: Each race in Guild Wars 2 has its own conflict and a party that works against the race. Whether the Nightmare Court is trying to detach other Sylvari from the dream or the Flame Legion wants to lure the Charr back to magic.
And also the characters around us go through enormous developments. One can feel the doubts and worries they carry. Especially the members of the Destiny’s Edge, a group consisting of members from all races, change significantly.
However, there are also characters like the Sylvari Canach, who cynically and coldly respond to all world threats. But those who have experienced his story from the beginning know how difficult his path to our hero group was. And this makes him very likable and his behavior more understandable.
The Sylvari Canach – Still on the evil side
The Structure of the Worlds
How it is in Game of Thrones: The world of Game of Thrones is structurally comparable to Europe. In the north, there is an icy world, similar to our Scandinavia.
The central part of the continent Westeros resembles Central Europe. In the south, we find another desert region, reflecting parts of Africa.
Also, many aspects of the population and the overall style of the world remind one of Europe. Concepts such as castles, knights, and peasants are based on it.
Schnellwasser – A castle from Game of Thrones (Source: Wiki)
How it is in Guild Wars 2: The continent Tyria, on which the base game of Guild Wars 2 is mostly set, is also inspired by Europe.
In Guild Wars 1, there were additional chapters and continents that reflected Asia or Africa. A part of that can be explored since the latest expansion Path of Fire.
The basic structure, with snow in the north, green and flat plains in the middle, and desert in the south, can also be found in Tyria. Just like the basic concepts regarding castles, nobility, and peasants.
In World vs. World, it’s even about besieging and capturing the castles. For this, medieval weapons such as battering rams, trebuchets, or ballistae are used.
The Castle of Stone Mist – The largest fortress in WvW
Both worlds share the aspect that while magic and mystical beings exist, they move visually and contextually within a relatively realistic framework.
The Small Ones Have a Big Influence
How it is in Game of Thrones: Tyrion Lannister is a dwarf. And a large part of his family is ashamed of him. But now after seven seasons, he has survived many.
He is now Hand of Queen Daenerys and attempts to unite all races of Westeros to fight against the White Walkers.
But while Tyrion is small but grown-up, there are also many children who have decisively influenced the story. Whether Bran or Arya, Jon or Sansa, Joffrey or Tommen. The list of small heroes or monsters from Game of Thrones is long.
Tyrion Lannister – The gnome
How it is in Guild Wars 2: The Asura are small beings that compensate for their lack of size with their intellect. Taimi from our hero group sometimes manages to solve puzzles or complete tasks all by herself.
She embodies both the small being and the fact that she is still a child and physically impaired.
But other members of our group are also young and wild. This includes the Norn Braham and the Charr Rox.
The Asura genius Taimi – Always has a helpful idea
Allied Characters Are Not Safe
How it is in Game of Thrones: Fans of the series know the shocking moments when a beloved character dies in an episode. And the creators are merciless.
Whether it’s executions, treacherous murders, or the Red Wedding. No character in Game of Thrones is truly safe.
The Red Wedding – A truly shocking moment
How it is in Guild Wars 2: Although the MMORPG treats its characters a bit kinder than George R.R. Martin and the creators of the series do, no one in the world of Tyria is safe either.
In the first story episodes, we lose our order mentor, and later some characters who previously fought faithfully by our side also die.
Especially the latest episode “All or Nothing” had a very well-known victim. But we don’t want to reveal too much at this point.
Even after years, WoW streamer Asmongold is not bored. The reason for this is simple.
Anyone who has played World of Warcraft for many years reaches a point where they are practically “burned out.” However, streamer Asmongold does not feel this way. He has been a loyal fan of WoW for years. Even if he has some complaints, he still sticks to the game.
That’s why he is never bored: In a stream, Asmongold explained why he “does not burn out” and always finds fun in World of Warcraft. This is because he can engage with many different types of content. He said:
WoW has so many different things I can do in the game. Even if one thing in the game bores me, I can just do something else. (…) Let’s just say that PvP bores me. Then I will participate in raids. If raids bore me, then I will do Mythic+. If that bores me, I will do world quests. If I get bored with that too, I will level a new character. There are so many different types of gameplay in WoW that I never “really” burn out. I just switch from one type of play to another.

Viewers respond critically: Asmongold’s statement was met with mixed reactions from viewers of the stream. Some stated in the chat that they felt similarly and were always discovering something new that brought them joy in WoW. Others criticized Asmongold because he had said only a few months ago that there was “nothing fun left to do in WoW”. However, the fact that he still remains with the game seems to show that he was mistaken.
WoW has more than a decade of content: One of the great secrets of World of Warcraft’s ongoing success must be the sheer size of the game. With the now seventh expansion of the game, WoW has so much content that even hardcore veterans would find it difficult to have achieved everything.
What keeps you after years still playing World of Warcraft? Do you do it like Asmongold and just change your focus when a type of content becomes boring? Or do you turn your back on WoW?
How to stay informed: You can always find more news and articles about World of Warcraft instantly on our WoW Facebook page.

5. The Secret World Legends – Uta Bloody Valentine
Who is Uta Bloody Valentine? The assassin currently operates in Tokyo. She wears an oversized rabbit mask and always seems to be one step ahead of players in The Secret World Legends.
For a long time, players spend time figuring out who is behind the mask, as the murderer never says a word and never removes the mask. In the end, it turns out that Uta Bloody Valentine is not one person, but essentially three.
Uta Bloody Valentine from The Secret World.
What personality does Uta Bloody Valentine have? The three murderers are apparently devoid of empathy, cold-blooded, and sadistic. Since they don’t speak a word, they exude an atmosphere of fear reminiscent of killers from slasher films like Friday the 13th.
Why is she evil? Even in the womb, Uta Bloody Valentine devoured her two siblings. At birth, she killed her mother, and her father abandoned the child out of fear of her. The two consumed siblings then manifested in three personalities.
The mother of monsters, Lilith, eventually noticed Uta Bloody Valentine and granted these three personalities their own body. All three Utas became sadistic murderers.
What was her worst deed? The assassin kills brutally and does so to everyone. She was sent to wipe out the Morninglight cultists, which she executed without batting an eye.
Was she defeated? Uta Bloody Valentine retreated to Lilith’s tower after the murder of the Morninglight cultists. There, players encountered her and were able to kill all three versions of her.

Destiny 2 brings a brand new Spring event this year. Bungie has now revealed the first details about the new festivities. Here is what to expect during the Revelry.
What is the Revelry? This is a new event with which Destiny 2 wants to welcome spring. The Tower will be dressed in festive spring colors.
As part of these new festivities, you can participate in a new activity and snag new event-specific armor pieces as well as various cosmetics in a cool festive look.
This is what the Tower looks like during the Spring event
The Revelry – What you should know about the Spring Festival
When exactly does the new event run? The Revelry starts with the Weekly Reset on April 16 at 7:00 PM and runs until May 7.
Your main point of contact during the event: As part of the Spring festivities, Eva Levante returns to the Tower. She will be your main contact during the Revelry.
Also back for this event: Eva Levante
Who can participate in the festival? All owners of Destiny 2 can take part in the Revelry. Whether or not you purchased additional content does not matter.
What new features can Guardians expect?
A new activity – The Verdant: The festival brings a new activity called Verdant, which is a modified and beautified version of the Always Forest – similar to the Haunted Forest during the Festival of the Lost, but with more twists and turns.
The goal is to make your way through as many rooms as possible. The more rooms you master, the more time you will have to face the 5 bosses and collect the loot.
The Verdant
You can tackle the Verdant in a fixed team, find additional partners through matchmaking, or even go solo.
New buffs: As part of the Spring festival, there will be a so-called Revelrous Elixir that you will first receive from Eva Levante. You can fill it with Revelrous Essence, which you will receive from boss kills in the Verdant or by completing different activities.
One of the new elixirs
There are a total of three different elixirs, each representing three different buffs. They reduce the cooldowns
of grenades
of melee
or class abilities
You must choose one of these buffs. The event armor (“Prelude to Revelry” sets) or the new thematically inspired armor from the Eververse (“Spring Bloom” sets) enhance the buff effect, the more pieces you equip.
The buffs are active in all activities of the game (exception: private matches) – even in PvP. Thus, you are more dangerous as a Reveler than a regular Guardian. However, how strong the buffs will be is not known at this time.
Most spheres are found in the Verdant
Additionally, during the Revelry event, you can create spheres all around Destiny 2 through precision kills, allowing you to charge your super and abilities faster. They are expected to appear most frequently in the Verdant.
New armor, bounties, rewards: During the Revelry, each of the three Guardian classes will be able to earn the event-specific armor set “Prelude to Revelry”. To do this, you must defeat bosses in the Verdant activity. The more bosses you eliminate in one run, the higher your chances of a drop.
The new event armors with ornaments
Additionally, Eva Levante offers 5 weekly bounties from which you can receive parts of the new armor as powerful rewards.
Revelrous Essence, which you earn in various activities, can be exchanged with Eva for packages with specific rewards. These include enhancement cores, regular weapons and gear, as well as ornaments for the “Prelude to Revelry” helmet.
By the way: Each helmet ornament gets bigger as you equip more pieces of the new armor sets.
The 2nd weapon exotic of Season 6 – The Arbalest
A new exotic weapon: By completing triumphs, you can earn the second new weapon exotic of Season 6 from Eva in exchange for Revelrous Essence – the kinetic fusion rifle Arbalest.
New event engrams and rewards in the Eververse: As is usual for special events, there will be double glimmer engram drops for all guardians who have reached the respective maximum character level.
The new event-specific Eververse sets
With each level-up, there will be a glimmer engram as well as the new rejoicing engram. For the event-specific rejoicing engrams, the knockout system is active. You will not receive any duplicates from them until you have collected all the new items from the event loot pool.
The qualification for the Fortnite World Cup is in full swing. However, it might be that streamers like Twitch star Ninja cannot participate.
Why could the Twitch stars be absent? Whether you are a streamer or not, you must qualify for the World Cup in advance. However, some streamers might have difficulties in the qualification because they have a significant disadvantage.
While they play and show everything live on Twitch, stream snipers can track every move they make. They know exactly which weapons and materials the players have. They try to get into the same matches as the streamers – and then they know where the streamer is.
Recently, Ninja was hunted down by an opponent during a qualification round.
This is the problem streamers face in qualification
This problem is exemplified by Ninja: Ninja’s stream is just one of many examples. He landed in Lazy Lagoon where he was able to loot in peace and secure a good setup.

But even though he was supposedly alone, this place suddenly turned into a hotspot. Out of nowhere, an opponent came who seemingly knew exactly where Ninja was hiding.
He flew directly towards him and eliminated Ninja while he was in a fight with another opponent.
Ninja was thus eliminated early from the match and lost important points in the qualification.
Because only those who score enough points in the qualifying rounds can compete in the finals.
This is what Ninja says about it: He found this situation somewhat suspicious and watched the gameplay of his opponent after his elimination.
There it was evident that the opponent covered a large distance and always aimed directly towards Ninja. He apparently knew exactly where the streamer was hiding and was likely hunting Ninja.

He says: “No idea where that guy is coming from, by the way. But here he is, this is his second rift he took. Takes the geyser and rifts, dives into the fight… Ugh, that’s unfortunate.”
This pro wanted to cheat his way into the World Cup – but got massively taken down:
Meanwhile, streamers like Ninja or Tfue are almost paranoid about stream sniping. But just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean that no one is after you.
Ninja is not a unique case: The problem with stream snipers, as these opponents are called, has existed in Fortnite for a longer time. However, the problem is now acute since streamers must qualify in several rounds for the upcoming World Cup. If they are hunted down directly like this, it becomes much more difficult.
Stream sniping is also easier in the QM qualification because the player pools are significantly smaller.
Recently, Ninja’s Twitch colleague Tfue addressed the issue. The pro has already won quite a bit of prize money in Fortnite and is among the best players in the world. However, he does not want to participate in tournaments anymore in the future.
Likely also because the stream snipers are significantly disturbing him, but as a streamer, he does not want to give up streaming at tournaments in real-time.
So are the streamers not participating in the World Cup? That remains to be seen. At this moment, Ninja and his colleagues still have all doors open. After all, it was the first qualification round this weekend.
The Fortnite World Cup will take place in summer
They still have time in the coming weeks to qualify for the World Cup. However, if stream snipers continue to be such a problem, then the streamers could have a much harder time and might never qualify.
Then the World Cup would have to take place without some of its biggest stars – or the streamers would have to give up their streams for qualification. However, they seemingly do not want to do that at all.
This pro wanted to cheat his way into the World Cup – but got massively taken down:
In Apex Legends a bug has appeared that lets players soar through the air. Many fans are enjoying it.
What is the bug? Apex Legends is plagued by some annoying bugs. But a glitch in the system is currently making players happy. When you hit the lid of an open supply crate, you will be spectacularly catapulted through the air.
This is how the effect is received by fans: Since Apex Legends is already a dynamic and fast-paced game, in which many characters have useful movement boosters as skills, this new, involuntary form of movement is well received and does not really disrupt gameplay.
Thanks to the bug, this crate full of useless weapons is a launch pad.
Therefore, players are reporting on Reddit about all sorts of curious incidents that have happened to them thanks to the “Supply Bin Jump”.
Players use the method to escape from precarious situations
Others use the trick to get quickly into the fight
One player landed, purely by luck, on a golden loot spot
These pranks are pulled by the players: The bug not only causes gameplay-related effects but also a lot of fun. One player was convinced by his trollish buddies to try the bug, only to launch himself off the map into the ocean and drown miserably.
Others, in turn, create funny memes and videos with it. One Reddit user took the bug as an opportunity to have his Apex hero jump out of the game into a completely different game.
The long-awaited crossover event between Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XV is live. However, there seems to be a bug that disconnects players from the game.
Update: The issue has been fixed.
Players who lost the connection will be returned directly to the quest cutscene upon logging in. You will not lose any progress.
What does the bug do? During the event, players must complete a longer quest line to obtain the rewards. However, after completing a certain part of the quest, it may result in a loss of connection to the game server.
It is a bug that affects a large portion of the players. However, there are also people who were able to bypass the bug.
What happens with the bug? Players end up in an endless loop of 90002 errors. Restarting the client unfortunately does not help. Logging in with other characters is also not possible because the game still recognizes the first character as logged in.
Square Enix is already working on a fix, and the quest line has been temporarily disabled. We will update the article as soon as more information is available.
How to get the event rewards: Players who complete the event will receive cool items as rewards.
“They see me rollin’, they hatin'” – The mount “Regalia”.
So there are a total of:
Outfit from the character Noctis: Available as a reward from the event quests
Noctis’s hairstyle: Purchase for 20,000 MGP in Gold Saucer
Triple-Triad card from Noctis: Purchase for 10,000 MGP in Gold Saucer
4-person mount Regalia: Purchase for 200,000 MGP in Gold Saucer
6 different sheet music with music from Final Fantasy XV: exchange with Garlond employees in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X: 11 / Y: 13), Ul’Dah Thal’s Crossroads (X: 13 / Y: 9), and Old Gridania (X: 9 / Y: 8) for unidentified Magitech parts
Note that the Garlond NPC in Gold Saucer offers the rewards only after completing the event quests.

A problem will be resolved where the blueprint for the workbench upgrade was not correctly granted to players when they ranked up.
Today, on April 16, Destiny 2 kicks off the new Spring event “The Revelry” for the first time. Three things make our author Sven particularly excited about the three-week festivities.
What is the Spring Festival all about? The Revelry is a brand new event that sees Destiny 2 don festive attire and celebrate the arrival of spring during Season 6.
The Revelry starts with the Weekly Reset on April 16 and runs until May 7. All Guardians can participate in these festivities – regardless of any additional content.
Participants can undertake a new activity, earn new cosmetics in cool festive designs, or snag a new exotic weapon.
This is how I have found Season 6 so far: Destiny 2 currently has so much content to offer that it is almost difficult to clear everything that the week has for the Guardians with all three characters. Yet in Season 6, nothing has really motivated me so far.
That’s why I think it’s worth checking out the event: While certainly not all Guardians will feel the same way, some players might feel just like that.
The Revelry could bring some fresh air and more variety to Season 6, allowing Guardians to immerse themselves in Destiny 2 even without Gambit Prime and Reckoning. Three things in particular make me really excited about the event and Destiny 2.
The Greenbriar – The new event activity
This is the Greenbriar: With the Revelry, a new activity makes its debut in Destiny 2, called the Greenbriar.
This is an alternative and beautified version of the Infinite Forest on Mercury – a kind of arena that gets reassembled from many different parts with each run, confronting Guardians with new situations and enemies.
The goal is to fight through as many rooms as possible. The more of these rooms you master, the more time you have afterwards to face the 5 bosses of the activity and collect the loot.
This is why I am looking forward to this activity: When the Infinite Forest was announced and introduced with the “Curse of Osiris” DLC, I had high hopes for this activity.
I was initially looking forward to a roguelike experience where I had to push deep into a randomly generated dungeon and could continually collect better loot.
But like many other Guardians, I was disappointed. The Infinite Forest turned out to be essentially a prettier landing zone and a connector between different level areas.
Then Bungie reinvigorated the Infinite Forest with the Festival of the Lost by bringing it back as an event activity called Haunted Forest. The Haunted Forest then became exactly the activity I had hoped for with the Infinite Forest.
You had 15 minutes to battle through numerous enemies and bosses in randomly generated areas. Once you defeated the final enemy, the activity would restart at the next level – with increasingly stronger foes and bosses.
The Haunted Forest demonstrated the potential of the Infinite Forest and was received so well by many fans that they demanded its permanent inclusion, which did not happen.
With the Greenbriar, a very similar activity is returning that I believe will provide numerous fun rounds with friends or random players. If the Greenbriar comes even close to the Haunted Forest, then in my opinion, a visit is definitely worth it. I can hardly wait to finally dive into the Greenbriar and explore the new activity.
The Arbalest – a new Exotic
The Spring event brings the next new weapon Exotic: During Season 6, two new exotic weapons are set to be introduced. The hand cannon Dorn can already be earned. With the Revelry, the second weapon Exotic comes into play – the fusion rifle Arbalest.
This is what makes the Arbalest special: It is the first kinetic linear fusion rifle in Destiny 2. The Arbalest fires projectiles that deal massive damage to enemy elemental shields (even though the weapon is kinetic). Additionally, enemies become temporarily more vulnerable to kinetic damage when you destroy their elemental shield with the Arbalest.
That’s why I am looking forward to the weapon: This new exotic weapon sounds exciting to me after a long time and especially really exotic – at least on paper. Plus, it just looks really cool.
I am therefore all the more eager to earn this gun and finally try it out in practice. Soon we should see whether the weapon is worth it only for collectors or if you can mow through enemy ranks with it.
Whether the weapon will remain directly available beyond the event, whether it will only drop randomly from exotic engrams like the Thunderlord, or even completely disappear after the Revelry is not known. So if you are interested in the Arbalest, you should definitely check out the Spring event.
These rewards come with the event: The Spring celebration “The Revelry” has numerous new event-specific rewards. Many of them have already been leaked some time ago – including ghosts, sparrows, and new armor sets.
Most rewards can be earned through participating in the event. Currently, there are only two items available for direct purchase. The good news is that with the Joyous Event Engrams, from which the majority of the event loot comes, a knockout system is in place. There are no duplicates until you have collected all new items from the event loot pool.
As a dedicated collector, I am now looking forward to the new event loot.
These are the rewards I am particularly looking forward to: Even if the event loot doesn’t always appeal to me – there’s quite a bit this time that I absolutely want to have.
For one, I am really taken with the event armor sets from the Eververse. I think the appearance this time is really great, and I find the enhanced effect of the new buff elixirs with each additional armor piece cool. I have set myself the goal of completing all three sets with all Guardian classes.
Additionally, both ghost shells, the cool golf gesture, and both sparrows are required this time. I find almost all the cosmetics successful this time. And these are only available during the event. So if you’ve got an eye on one or the other cosmetic, a visit is probably unavoidable.
What do you think of the Spring event? Will you check it out? Or does the Revelry not appeal to you?
BioWare is continuing to work on getting Anthem back on track. With a series of job postings, they want to hire new employees to address the biggest criticisms from players.
What are they looking for? BioWare recently posted several job listings for new employees to help with Anthem. The potential new hires will primarily be deployed where players have voiced the most criticism:
Loot is to be revised: The loot in Anthem is frequently discussed among players. Now BioWare wants to hire a new Senior Systems Designer who is apparently going to revamp the loot system. The tasks of the new designer are expected to include the following work:
Building a truly great, server-side loot system that is scalable, offers modern concepts like Streak-Breaking (a mechanic where players who have previously had no luck have a higher chance of loot next time), and easily adjustable data formats. A great loot system ensures that players have predictable experiences that can be supported by data.
This is what the players say: Some players have expressed skepticism about the job postings. Some believe it is purely PR, while others question why they are only now looking for new employees and did not do so prior to the launch.
Other players welcome BioWare’s move and see it as a commitment and dedication. The search for new employees means for them that Anthem has not been abandoned and does not share the same fate as Mass Effect: Andromeda. Planned DLCs for Andromeda were canceled after much criticism and mediocre sales just five months after the release, and the game was consequently not further supported.
New content for Anthem is expected soon, which will be shown in the next livestream:
Melee fighters have it too easy in the dungeons of World of Warcraft. This is noted not only by the players but also by Blizzard.
In line with the presentation of Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, Blizzard invited many YouTubers and other “Content Creators” to discuss the next update for World of Warcraft. This discussion was not only about the upcoming patch but also about the current state of the game.
What was said? The streamer Sloot shared many details from the meeting in a stream. According to him, developers mentioned that the balance between melee and ranged characters is currently not good. This is mainly because there are currently too few threats for melee fighters. This, in turn, leads to a preference for having melee characters in groups because they can deal damage without much interruption.
What does this data indicate? This statement is also confirmed at the MDI, the Dungeon Tournament of Blizzard. Almost all teams participate with three rogues – ranged characters are completely left out. This is not only because rogues are currently considered the strongest class in this type of content, but also due to the lack of threats they face.
What should be changed? There are no specific plans for changes yet. However, it can be assumed that future dungeons or affixes will address melee fighters a bit more or require new mechanics to involve melee classes more. Whether this will happen with an upcoming patch or is planned for the next full expansion was not stated.
What is your opinion on this topic? Do you also think that melee fighters have it too easy in WoW right now? Or do you think that ranged characters have it much better?

Anyone wanting to play The Elder Scrolls Online on PC currently has to endure a lengthy waiting period before they can join. A player on Reddit is using the time to cook.
That is currently the problem in ESO: Anyone wanting to have a cozy session of ESO in the evening must bring patience if they are in Europe and playing on PC.
Only with extreme luck does one catch a gap in the player rush or is left with a waiting time of three to nine minutes. Most currently have to wait around 20 minutes before they can start. Reports of extreme cases with waiting times of over 40 minutes are actually quite frequent.
“There is no word in Elvish, Dwarvish, or Entish to say how angry I am about this queue. Luckily, I have my axe!”
In the forums, fans are venting their frustration and loudly complaining about how much lifetime they have already lost.
Cooking Instead of Gaming
One player used the extreme waiting time as follows: The absurdities the queues can create is highlighted by a striking example from Reddit. A user on Reddit writes that after joining the queue, he first went to the kitchen to cook something.
At least the time was well spent. But when he settled back in front of the screen 25 minutes later with his delicious meal to enjoy while gaming, he got the shock!
If it takes longer again – grab a banana!
A whole 17 minutes and 37 seconds were still remaining.
So the good fellow grabbed his smartphone to photograph the food and the message to share the whole mess with the rest of the world and to better cope with his disappointment.
Here’s how the snapshot was received on Reddit: He apparently had success. On Reddit, he gathered nearly 100 upvotes and many other users expressed their sympathy. Many had also experienced waiting times of around forty minutes.

What the hell is that on the plate? Some comments also dealt with the food depicted. The user Saklymah asked what the “thing” next to the rice is supposed to be.
ReadDeadOscar, from whom the post originates, replied: “Meat, fried in garlic butter, with onions and soy sauce. Doused with a bit of lemon juice.” Well, if that’s the case… Enjoy your meal!
In any case, the long waiting times mean that ESO is probably doing quite well right now.
The player rush is also no coincidence. Bethesda has been drumming up publicity for months and getting its players excited…
It’s now known how to get tickets for the GO Fest in Dortmund in Pokémon GO: through the app itself. Niantic has published a guide on this.
When will tickets be available? There is not yet a specific date for this. Niantic states that the ticket purchase feature will only start when the lottery for the GO Fest in Chicago begins.
How do you get the tickets? The ticket purchase will take place in-game. Therefore, you will navigate through several pages in the app, and finally, it will be decided by lottery who gets the ticket.
This is how the ticket allocation works
You don’t need to be quick: So that every player has a chance at the tickets, the ticket distribution is not about speed. Once the feature is online, you can register there at your leisure. Here, it’s not about who is the fastest.
The first GO Fest 2019 takes place in Chicago
If you are registered, the lottery will decide your tickets. If you are drawn, you can purchase the ticket. If you are not drawn, you will not have a chance at tickets.
This is how you can register: The registration takes place in the app. You do not need to open a website. You need to follow these steps:
Open the Pokémon GO app
Click on the Pokéball symbol in the lower middle of the screen to open the menu
Click on “Events” on the top right side. (next to “Settings” and “News”)
All upcoming events will be displayed. The next event will be at the top
Select your desired event. If ticket distribution is still active, it will say “Join the raffle”
Now you just need to confirm your email. This does not have to be the same one you used to register with the app. If you are drawn for the tickets, you will receive a confirmation there. Otherwise, you will not receive anything from Niantic.
This is how you can purchase the tickets: If you receive an email confirming you as the winner of the raffle, you can purchase the tickets.
In 2019, the GO Fest will take place for the first time in Germany
You should check your emails regularly because you must purchase the tickets within 48 hours.
Reopen the app page with upcoming events where you have already registered
For the event where you were drawn for the tickets, the field “Claim Ticket” will be displayed
Click on this field and choose which day you want to attend and how many tickets you need
You can then select tickets for friends
Confirm the terms and conditions and order the tickets for a fee
Finally, you will receive a confirmation email
Can I register my friends as well? It is worthwhile for you and your friends to register, as this increases your chances of getting tickets.
You can also bring your friends to the GO Fest
You can indeed bring multiple friends to the GO Fest. If you are drawn, you can include the usernames of your friends. However, you need to be at least Ultra Friends in the game with them.
All tickets you want to purchase must be directly assigned to a friend in the app. You cannot purchase tickets that are not assigned to any player.
Not only is the GO Fest worthwhile, but also the upcoming events in April:
Some players do crazy things in World of Warcraft. This warrior fan has leveled 29 characters to level 120 – all belonging to the same class.
From time to time, we report on players of World of Warcraft who achieve extraordinary feats. Today, we want to highlight such a Warcraft fan again. DesMephisto has developed a special love for one class – the warrior. He loves it so much that he has leveled it a proud 29 times to level 120, the current maximum level of WoW.
Two characters from each race: In a screenshot, he proudly shows 22 of his characters. These are only his Horde characters. He has leveled each race twice, namely one female and one male character. That way, he should be prepared for any eventuality and guaranteed to show up at every event with a suitable character.
All 22 warriors of the Horde side – the Alliance warriors are missing here.
When it came to naming, DesMephisto remained true to himself. The first warrior was named “Juggalo”, followed by names like:
“Zombiejuggs” (Undead)
“Chubbyjuggs” (Pandaren)
“Tinyjuggs” (Goblin)
“Prettyjuggs” (Blood Elf)
“Ausomejuggs” (Zandalari Troll)
This may not be the most creative naming, but it certainly provides a high level of recognizability. Anyone playing on the American server Spirestone is likely to recognize him at first glance.
Big plans for Classic: By the way, Des Mephisto is far from done. In Classic, he intends to level more Horde warriors – at least 8. One for each of the four original races of the Horde, once again in male and female versions.
This is how you stay informed: You can always find the latest news fastest if you leave a like on our WoW Facebook page.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale you must uncover new excavation sites. The next location will likely be the entire Loot Lake. This could signal the end of Season 8.
What are excavation sites? In Fortnite: Battle Royale, major events are taking place in Season 8 that lead to the end of the season. This time, these are mysterious excavation sites that are gradually appearing on the map.
Your task: You are to dig through the earth with your pickaxe, which has tens of thousands of hit points. Therefore, the progress of all players is constantly counted. This way, the community gradually digs through the different excavation sites and uncovers mysterious things.
It is therefore very likely that you will have to dig a lot and chop millions of hit points out of the earth until the secret is revealed.
Additionally, helicopters have also appeared at the lake. The choppers had previously shown up at various locations and are now at the excavation site. Another hint that something big is about to happen.
The season end with a new skin?
What could be under Loot Lake? There is currently much speculation about what might come out from under Loot Lake. It is suspected, among other things, that the infamous purple cube is making a return.
That’s why the new skin could play a role: It could also be that the new skin “Ruin” is involved there. If Fortnite follows the tradition of Season 7, then the bonus skin is again part of the story, and Ruin is a kind of lava knight who may rise from a vent under the lake.
This is Ruin!
Ruin will, however, not be unlocked until week 8 at the earliest, as you need 55 completed challenges for him. It’s quite possible that the uncovering of the excavation site will also start soon, thereby leading to the season finale with Ruin.
This would also fully correspond to the tradition of Fortnite to announce season endings with iconic bonus skins.
What is your theory regarding the new excavation site?
A guild in World of Warcraft is currently claiming to be the “best night raid in Germany.” However, the guild is struggling to maintain that status. Our reader Rouven reports what a night raid actually is and where the problems come from.
What is a “night raid”? “Night raids” focus on some of the toughest PvE challenges in World of Warcraft, the raids, at night time. Instead of many raids taking place in the late afternoon or evening, they set out at night.
What is the purpose of this? WoW is also played by many night owls and shift workers. They often do not have time or are not fit during the “regular times” that other guilds offer.
That’s where the “night raids” come in. The guilds are specifically designed for times when people can play who do not have “regular working hours” during the day. To allow these players to also participate in raids, there are night raid guilds.
The current best German guild Aversion after their first kill on Argus. They focus on evening raids instead of night ones.
What “night raid” guilds are there? The currently most successful German night raid guild is The Daysleepers from the Thrall server (Horde).
They offer raid times on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, from 11:45 PM to 3:00 AM.
According to MeinMMO reader and fellow night raider Rouven, several other guilds are still active in the German scene:
the progress-oriented guild Envious on the Blackmoore server (Horde)
the more casual guild Pulled Orc on the Thrall server (Horde)
also the Alliance guild Immortales on Baelgun (tip from MeinMMO readers Markus and Benjamin)
and the Alliance guild “Midnight Maniacs” on Antonidas
However, the scene has shrunk significantly in recent years. These few guilds are the “small, remaining rest” that the night raid scene in Germany still has.
This is the problem with night raids: Our reader Rouven, who is also an officer with the character “Derwindweht” at The Daysleepers, pointed out to us that the night raid scene currently has a bigger problem. There is simply a lack of people.
The Daysleepers is a progress-oriented raid guild, meaning they put in a lot of work into the MMORPG and try to perform as best as possible. Currently, they are even ranked 45th among all German guilds in the Battle of Dazar’alor. (via wowprogress, as of April 15 at 1:00 PM)
Jaina is the current final boss.
Anyone who wants to play must therefore have time and motivation to raid at night, as well as an interest in good progress in the raid. Especially regarding the upcoming Crucible of Storms, more members are needed.
According to Rouven, night raids have the problem that they do not know where to find new people. Only a limited number of new players can be recruited through forums and Twitch.
Many guilds are looking for players through forums.
Who is suitable as a night raider? The Daysleepers have some requirements for their potential members. Although “principally everyone is welcome”, interested players should have some prerequisites:
interest in progress-oriented raiding
corresponding performance to keep up
regularly available for the nightly times
ideally, being tied to night raid times due to their profession
These are not hard requirements set by the Daysleepers, but merely prerequisites necessary for this type of collaboration. The prerequisites foster a long-term interest in the night raid.
Finding new members is a significant challenge.
How can I participate? If you are experiencing the problem that you want to raid but can’t find guilds for your times, Rouven has provided us with some contact information.
If you want to apply to the Daysleepers, you can contact some people on the Thrall server on the Horde side:
Derwindweht – recruitment officer
Øhhm – guild master
BaumwØlle – raid leader
Klostermönch and Lenina – main tanks
Would a night raid appeal to you?
Some progress guilds charge quite a bit for raiding:
In The Division 2 the skill strength system works oddly or not at all. Now Massive wants to present a solution with the next patch.
This is how skill strength usually works: In most games, a value like “skill strength” or intelligence works quite simply:
The higher this value is, the more damage skills deal or the better a player can heal
But that is not the case in The Division 2.
3 agents, but only those betting on “red” are currently strong.
Value strengthens skills in The Division 2 indirectly
This is how skill strength works in The Division 2:
In The Division, the value “skill strength” (a yellow stat) only determines which mods you can equip for your skills in order to enhance them
The higher the value, the stronger the mods an agent can use.
Otherwise, the base strength of the skills adjusts to the level and world rank so that they always remain relevant. If you want to do more with your skills, for example, greater range, longer duration, or damage, you have to use skill mods.
This is the problem: The “highest” mods in The Division 2 have such high requirements for skill strength that they can only be used with certain builds.
You would have to align your gear largely or entirely towards skill strength in order to use the mods that you find at max level.
However, hardly anyone does that. Players feel that they do not get enough performance back for their investment in the value.
These high item-level mods with high requirements drop exclusively for the players.
The problem: The mod requires 2,400 points in skill strength, but the agent has only about 593.
This means: Players find vast amounts of gear that they cannot use.
If agents want to use a mod to strengthen their skills at all, they need “low-level” skill mods that they found while leveling up.
At max level, you rely on small mods that you have collected at some point.
This is how Massive wanted to solve the problem: In a first balance patch, Massive apparently recognized the error in the system and wanted to counteract it by lowering the requirements for the mods. However, they weakened the strength of the mods, particularly for the chem launcher.
Despite spending some days of gameplay, this agent roams around with mods he could have worn after just a few hours.
Blue mods and the workbench are supposed to fix it
This is the new solution: In a blog post, Massive has now explained how they want to solve the problem.
In the next patch, there should be the ability to craft “blue mods” that players can use who are not focusing on skill strength.
Additionally, Massive plans to rework the skills in The Division 2 so that the “most powerful mods” will provide such strong benefits that it is worthwhile to fully focus on skill strength.
At the moment, the problem is that in The Division 2 almost only a DPS build (the red stats) is worthwhile, as both technicians (the yellow stats) and tanks (the blue stats) are too weak.
It will be interesting to see how the change will have an impact in the next patch. The patch is expected this week.
These are Prime Icon Moments cards: With the new Prime Icon Moments introduced in February, a fourth form of Icon cards entered the game. Up until that point, Prime Icons were always the strongest icons.
Base Icon -> Middle Icon -> Prime Icon -> Prime Icon Moment
EA gradually released new Prime Icon Moments cards in the past weeks. These could either be unlocked through SBCs or pulled from packs.
Here lies the problem: Since pulling Moments cards from packs is only a theoretical possibility, many FUT players used the SBCs to get the strongest version of their favorite icon.
For example, the Moments SBCs for the following players were still missing:
Ronaldo
Pelé
Gullit
Ronaldinho
Vieira
Eusebio
Many players eagerly awaited the Prime Icon Moment SBC for Ronaldo (97), as R9 is simply unavailable in the transfer market. The card is so rare that it gets bought up immediately for the maximum price (15 million coins) whenever it is briefly available.
EA Angers the Fans
This is what happened: On Friday, EA unexpectedly released a whole series of Icon SBCs. Surprisingly, no Moment SBCs were offered for many cards.

For the popular cards of Ronaldo, Pele, Gullit, Ronaldinho, Viera, and Eusebio, only Prime SBCs are provided. So, you cannot obtain Moments versions of these cards via SBC.
This is what EA says: The decision is justified by stating that the prices of some Icon Moments cards exceed the cost limits for Icon SBCs.
This is incomprehensible for many FUT players, as EA has control over the prices themselves. They could simply make the Prime Icon Moments SBCs a bit cheaper.

Additionally, EA announced that these will be the last Icon SBCs in FUT 19. No more Prime or Prime Moments SBCs will be released.
How the Community Responds
This is what the community says: FIFA fans are angry and are expressing their outrage, especially on Twitter.
Comments such as: ,,Instead of lowering the prices for the SBCs, you don’t release them at all” or ,,So none of us will ever be able to play with R9 (97), as only 2 cards are in the game” can be seen.
Similarly, FUT players are frustrated that many other Icon cards will also no longer receive Moments versions after this announcement. This includes players like Lampard, Nesta, Raul, Owen, or Klose.
The last season of Game of Thrones has started, and many fans would love to have the atmosphere from the series in an MMORPG. For this, The Elder Scrolls Online is ideal!
What is The Elder Scrolls Online? The Elder Scrolls Online, or ESO for short, is a large MMORPG from Zenimax. The game is set in the world of the Elder Scrolls games and takes place many hundreds of years before the events in Skyrim and other titles in the series.
ESO is an online role-playing game with some unique features:
There is no classic endgame, every player can play together with everyone else regardless of their level and explore all regions
Storytelling plays a very significant role, all quests are fully voiced
The game places a strong emphasis on experiencing stories and exploring the game world
ESO is Buy2Play and can be played indefinitely after a one-time purchase
5 reasons why Game of Thrones and ESO go well together
ESO is a game that appeals to many fans of role-playing games and fantasy. But especially lovers of Game of Thrones will find great satisfaction in The Elder Scrolls Online. Why this is the case, you will learn in the following paragraphs.
The style
Here’s what it’s like in Game of Thrones: Most of Westeros is modeled after medieval Europe. There are clear associations with medieval England, Germany, Spain, and Scandinavia.
Additionally, there are contemporary concepts and styles, such as knights in armor, peasants in rags, and richly dressed nobles in sturdy castles and magnificent palaces.
The Middle Ages were clearly the reference for Game of Thrones.
In the east, however, there are exotic lands with deserts, jungles, and magnificent city-states. The entire style, however, remains grounded and, apart from the great Ice Wall, does not introduce any wildly exaggerated fantasy elements, like flying fortresses or omnipresent magic in everyday life.
Here’s what it’s like in ESO: The Elder Scrolls Online also presents the continent Tamriel in a sober and down-to-earth manner. You will not find garish armor here, nor will any spaceships come flying in or flying cities appear.
Instead, the world of ESO is a medieval fantasy world that appears realistic at first glance. The fantasy elements involve races like elves and cat-like creatures, as well as various monsters in nature and magic, which is regarded as a respected craft.
ESO does bring some fairytale-like settings but remains rather down-to-earth.
Like Game of Thrones, ESO largely relies on medieval European settings, or, as in the case of the Empire, on late antiquity. However, there are regions, such as Hammerfell or the soon-to-come Elsweyr, that seem distinctly more exotic and are reminiscent of North Africa or even Thailand. Just like the wondrous regions in the east of Westeros in Game of Thrones.
Conclusion: So, if you appreciate the more sober, down-to-earth fantasy of Game of Thrones, you will feel right at home in ESO.
The political situation
Here’s what it’s like in Game of Thrones: In the series and the associated books, the realm of Westeros is a state made up of seven very different kingdoms, which were long united under one ruler.
The struggle for the Iron Throne is a central theme in Game of Thrones.
However, at the beginning of the story, the king dies, and a bloody power struggle among the various noble houses ensues for the crown. This conflict, alongside the plot involving the Night Watch and the rise of Daenerys, is the big red thread in the plot.
Here’s what it’s like in ESO: Here too, an epic civil war is at the center. The great empire of Cyrodiil had long united the various regions of Tamriel, but after the disappearance of the last emperor and the takeover by necromancers, the empire has crumbled.
In the “War of the Three Factions,” three alliances have formed from nine races, which now fight against each other and would each like to place their ruler on the throne in the White Gold Tower.
There’s also a fight for the throne in ESO.
The throne succession war is a central gameplay element in the game. The open PVP mode takes place in the huge central province and the imperial city. There, you will actively fight with dozens of other players for your faction against the other two alliances.
Additionally, you conquer fortresses and outposts in lengthy campaigns until finally one faction temporarily prevails and can hold the throne for a time.
So, if you enjoy epic battles for thrones and crowns, you will find satisfaction in ESO both in PvE and PvP.
The great enemies
Here’s what it’s like in Game of Thrones: In Game of Thrones, the conflict between worldly powers pales in comparison to a colossal threat from the north. There, dark forces and hordes of undead are forming, only held back by a mysterious Ice Wall and a handful of watchers.
The undead ice beings from the north are the true enemies in Game of Thrones but remain largely hidden.
This ancient, mystical threat serves as a counterbalance to the mundane civil war, which seems petty and pointless compared to the all-consuming flood of zombies.
Here’s what it’s like in ESO: In ESO, ancient powers are also bent on ravaging and consuming the world. These Daedric Princes are god-like beings from alternate realms, who have their sights set on the world of mortals.
Dark figures and powers are a fixed part of the story in ESO.
Already in the base game, one of them is attempting to chain the world to his dark domain. In later DLCs, other such beings try to influence the world from the background. They are behind many grisly machinations.
So, if you enjoy mysterious and long-lasting threats from the shadows that operate against the backdrop of a worldly conflict, you will also feel at home in ESO.
The details
Here’s what it’s like in Game of Thrones: The story about power struggles, as well as an ancient, recurring evil from past times, is by no means new and is part of the standard repertoire of many fantasy stories.
The great strength of Game of Thrones lies in its lovingly crafted setting and interesting characters.
What sets Game of Thrones and especially the book templates apart from the usual genre standard is the high level of detail and the well-thought-out, vibrant, and relatable fantasy world.
The more episodes or chapters you consume, the more you immerse yourself in the world.
Here’s what it’s like in ESO: ESO is set in the well-known Elder Scrolls world, which fans are already familiar with from games like Skyrim, Morrowind, or Oblivion. ESO builds on these works and showcases familiar regions and races, along with additional new details.
Memorable characters are also present in ESO.
The world is thus similarly detailed as in Game of Thrones. Those who take the time to read the books and converse with the NPCs will discover many hours of content.
So, if you want a vibrant fantasy world that is not just a backdrop for any raids and quests, then ESO is the right choice.
The dragons
Here’s what it’s like in Game of Thrones: In the series, dragons are actually mystical creatures that have disappeared from the world. One of the highlights of the story is that three of these beings hatch from petrified eggs and become the secret weapon of the heroine Daenerys.
Dragons are essential in Game of Thrones.
The massive lizards are thus a crucial factor in the storyline. Wherever they appear, significant events occur, and through them, the world is changed.
Furthermore, dragons are strongly associated with the symbolism of rule and power.
Here’s what it’s like in ESO: In the world of ESO, dragons are also mystical beings that are normally not found in the world. When they do appear, significant upheavals are announced, as seen in Skyrim back then.
