Fans are already planning to enter an MMORPG that may never be released

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The development of the highly interesting MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is dragging on. Now, however, supporters can choose countries for their kingdoms, with many being skeptical about whether the game will actually be released.

Which MMORPG is it about? We are talking about Chronicles of Elyria, the promising MMORPG where your hero eventually dies of old age and must therefore ensure offspring.

The highly ambitious project, where you can live your life freely in a huge fantasy world and even become a ruler, sounded fantastic. But then came bad news:

What is happening with Chronicles of Elyria in the meantime? A playable version is not yet in sight. However, the MMORPG currently lives as a sort of “browser game”. Fans are having fun in the official forum, discussing the lore, forming guilds, participating in events, and thinking about which hero they want to play.

Now the developers announced the start of the land claim phase. This allows everyone who is allowed to own land in the MMORPG to choose where they want to build their kingdom.

Chronicles of Elyria Alter
The characters in the MMORPG were supposed to age. A feature that garnered a lot of attention for Chronicles of Elyria.

Players Claim Their Lands

How does this phase work? Players will see a map of the continent. The whole thing is set up like a small browser game. The map was created by cartographers of the game world. You will see the countries and the political circumstances so that you can decide which is the best place for your kingdom.

However, you also help shape how the world develops. By giving your realm and the special locations there names, such as mountain ranges or forests.

Each available land shows you, for example, how many resources are available there or what biomes it offers. You must consider this in your decision-making.

von Andreas Bertits

How is the land distributed? Depending on how much money you, as a supporter of Chronicles of Elyria, have spent, you will be able to choose your land first. The order is as follows:

  • Kingdoms will be allocated from April 29 to May 5
  • Duchies can be chosen between May 6 and May 12
  • Counties can be selected between May 13 and May 19
  • Settlements can be decided from May 20 to May 26
  • All others can claim the remaining lands from May 27

Players do not need to worry about not getting territories, as the world is so huge that there should be room for everyone.

Why do players do this? Everyone naturally wants to have the “best” piece of land, which is strategically located and has many resources. Being a ruler plays a big role in the MMORPG.

Moreover, this gives players the opportunity to actively participate in shaping and developing the game world.

Fans Remain Hopeful, but Frustration is Widespread

How are players currently reacting to Chronicles of Elyria? The fans, many of whom are invested financially, are very active on the forum and are looking forward to finally grabbing their lands.

Tarvald says in the official forum: “I am incredibly excited. Now the time has come to breathe life into the world of Chronicles of Elyria. May everyone get what they want.”

However, some players are also feeling a bit frustrated because the development is not progressing quickly enough for them. Some suspect that Chronicles of Elyria may never be released.

Bloodreighn writes on Reddit: “5 million dollars raised but the game is no longer on Steam. Great that I spent money on a game I can’t play.”

Currently, fans are waiting for the playable pre-alpha of Chronicles of Elyria, which may be coming in the summer or fall.

Black Desert: The number of registered players for the MMORPG in 2019

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Black Desert spoke in a press release about current player numbers and revenues of the MMORPG. They also discussed the collaboration with EVE Online and the mobile game.

How many players does Black Desert have? Black Desert currently has more than 18 million registered players. These come from over 150 different countries around the world.

The MMORPG also gained an increase in players through the release on Xbox One and the launch of the mobile game in Korea. However, there is no detailed breakdown by platform.

Recently, Black Desert made headlines mainly with a failed wave of bans and with the removal of the Battle Royale Arena. Nevertheless, things are going well for the MMORPG.

black-desert trial-03

How successful is Black Desert? The development of Black Desert has paid off for the studio Pearl Abyss. Over the four years since its release, the franchise generated more than one billion in revenue.

This includes revenue from all platforms. However, around 30% of the revenue has already been generated from the mobile game.

Currently, Pearl Abyss employs about 700 people. Some of them are set to move to a new office in California soon to improve support in the West. A huge headquarters is also being worked on in their home country.

The future is mobile and a little Korean

Will Black Desert Mobile come to us? Currently, the mobile game for Black Desert can only be played in Korea. But according to CEO Robin Jung, that is supposed to change.

Still in 2019, the game is supposed to be released worldwide, including here. Jung is confident that Black Desert Mobile will be a success and revenues will continue to rise.

EVE Online will be Korean: Alongside Black Desert, the press release also mentioned the company CCP Games, known for developing the MMORPG EVE Online. CCP Games was bought by Pearl Abyss in 2018.

The studio from Iceland will continue to work independently on their games in the future. The goal is mainly an exchange and collaboration between the two companies.

The first joint action is a localization of EVE Online. The MMORPG is set to be released in Korean soon.

Further development of Black Desert on Xbox: Since the release in March, there have already been two major updates for the Xbox version of Black Desert.

This aligns with the goals set by CEO Jung. Black Desert should be successful on all platforms. Accordingly, the release calendar is quite full for Xbox until June:

The new Sheepsquatch in Fallout 76 is currently tearing apart masses of players

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In Fallout 76, you can complete a new quest line with the new Patch 8, which revolves around an unknown cryptid – the Sheepsquatch. This creature serves as an event boss at the end of the quest line and poses a significant challenge to players.

What is the Sheepsquatch? The Sheepsquatch is said to be a sheep-human hybrid – similar to the Mothman, which is a cross between a moth and a human. Unlike the previously known cryptids of Fallout 76, it is far more dangerous.

According to reports and rumors that you can find in the game, the Sheepsquatch tears through animals and humans, ripping apart and killing everything that comes too close.

Here’s how to find the Sheepsquatch: If you want to see and kill the Sheepsquatch yourself, you need to first complete a new quest line. It begins with the quest “The Lying Lowe” and has been available since the new Patch 8 from April 9.

“The Lying Lowe” begins by interacting with one of the Sheepsquatch posters found in Lewisburg and at train stations. Similar to the Alcohol update, the posters are also available for free in the Atomic Shop as a C.A.M.P. item until May 7.

Fallout 76 Sheepsquatch Taxidermy Lowe
The quest starts with the taxidermy in Lewisburg. One of the posters is also located here.

The quest sends you on the trail of Calvin “Can” Lowe, who, as a member of the “Truth Seekers”, is on the hunt for cryptids. He is missing, and his sister lures helpers with the assumption that he was killed by the Sheepsquatch.

The quest line becomes increasingly convoluted and requires some detective work, also providing you with many side quests. At the end of the line, you can initiate a repeatable event that summons the Sheepsquatch.

You can craft the necessary item, and the missing ingredient for the recipe is available from the new vendors in Whitesprings for about 2,200 caps. (1,960 caps with Rank 3 of “Master Trader”)

How does the fight go? When you start the event, a Sheepsquatch impostor appears in disguise. You need to activate the pylons scattered in the area to make it fully attackable.

During the fight, hordes of exploding eye bombs will keep appearing. They make it difficult to hit anything and to survive at all.

Fans remind that Fallout 76 will also receive dungeons and raids that are specifically designed for groups. If players already find the fight against the Sheepsquatch too difficult, the raids might end up being boring and a flop.

How the community reacts: The event is considered the most difficult activity in Fallout 76 so far. Players are dying en masse and are advised to store all their junk before the fight.

Due to its difficulty, the event is quite popular, especially because the fight has more tactical depth than the unpopular bullet storm at the Queen of the Scorched Beasts. However, some players argue that it is too hard and nearly impossible to take down the Sheepsquatch.

My first attempt at the event went horribly wrong and ended in defeat. Over 10 players participated, and it was absurdly difficult. Huge waves of Colonel Gutsies appear, and the wrong Sheepsquatch kills everyone with just a few hits.

According to reddit, the majority of the community agrees that one should not complain about the difficulty of the fight. Bethesda provides a good challenge with the event, which is meant for coordinated groups and offers many people an incentive to play.

Ex-professional explains why he preferred playing Call of Duty over dealing with women

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The former professional player Doug “Censor” Martin preferred to dedicate his life to Call of Duty rather than engage with women. From his perspective, he did everything right by focusing on his career. The women would come when one is successful.

This is the thesis: According to numbers from the Washington Post, 28% of American men aged 18 to 30 had no sex in the past year – for women, it’s only 18%. (via WashingtonPost)

The number of young men without sex has nearly tripled in the last 10 years.

This is partly because young people today have other alternatives to sex at night, quotes a psychologist.

Less-men-have-sex
More and more young Americans went a year without sex. Source: Washington Post

In 2018, young people would play video games, watch Netflix or engage on social media. They had many more alternatives [to sex] than before.

Additionally, people are starting their careers later and living longer with their parents: A job and a place of one’s own are important prerequisites for a relationship and thus for sex.

Rather train than kiss girls

Censor shares from his life: In a series of tweets, former Call of Duty professional Doug “Censor” Martin (24) reacts to an article on the topic and describes how he navigated through life.

Censor sees no reason for concern in the numbers:

“My parents were also concerned that I hadn’t kissed a girl during my school years. But for me, it was more important to be the number 1 worldwide in Call of Duty – because that opportunity wouldn’t last long. I’m so glad I made that decision.”

Censor advises: The ex-professional states that the lesson from the tweet is to focus on one’s career – the rest will fall into place.

After a few poke fun at him, he responds:

“You’re looking at this all wrong. You shouldn’t neglect your career for women. If you focus on your career, the women will come to you.”

What’s more important for him is the focus on the career, not abstaining from women.

According to Censor, the trick is to focus on one’s career and chase one’s dreams. Then the rest will come naturally.

He has participated in 4 major tournaments, won them all, and was number 1 in the world.

A fan then says to him: “I don’t understand why you’re getting so much criticism. You’ve built a fan base and established a career. You’re living the life you always wanted.”

Censor responds: “AND I also got the girl.”

COD WW2 Title

This is how others react: Opinions are quite mixed:

  • Some respect Censor for his attitude, stating he completely pursued his career
  • others say there needs to be time for both – social relationships are important and should not be neglected
  • especially the statement, “that the women will come eventually” is considered poorly phrased – it sounds as if he’s waiting for a woman who is only interested in what he has achieved: a so-called “gold digger”
https://twitter.com/WeeBeno3107/status/1113507253913624577

This is what the professional is doing now: The former Call of Duty professional now has a YouTube channel with around 2.6 million subscribers. There he regularly uploads videos showing what he does in the gym.

Brazen student submits Destiny lore as homework, gets exposed

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

The Destiny series has an exciting and comprehensive background story. This is what a student thought as well, and he simply submitted the lore as homework. However, he didn’t expect his teacher to stumble upon the website Ishtar Collective on the internet …

Destiny Lore as Homework: The Destiny series has always been praised by players for its rich background story. In Destiny 1, the Guardians chased after the Grimoire entries, and Destiny 2 has introduced hidden items again with Forsaken that contribute to the lore.

The background story of Destiny, the lore, seemed to have impressed a student so much that he grabbed the entries and submitted them as homework for his English course. However, his teacher was sharp and consulted a well-known lore website for advice.

In the lore of Destiny 2, you will find out, among other things, who was responsible for the prison break at the start of Forsaken.

In Destiny 1, the background story was told, among other ways, through dead Ghosts.

How Was the Student Exposed? The teacher apparently stumbled upon the website of Ishtar Collective on the internet. This is a website that has been collecting all Grimoire entries and lore snippets of the Destiny universe since Destiny 1.

The English teacher sent an email to the website and asked if the entries came from her student. “Can I confirm that they were not written by a boy named Lucas?” reads the email that was published on Twitter by the site’s operators.

As the teacher states, the entire website was passed off by the student as diary entries and submitted as homework.

Did you know that a Warlock in Destiny 2 thinks that your Guardian could be a murderer?

Destiny Ishtar Collective Twitter
The operators of Ishtar Collective spread the email on Twitter and jokingly referred to themselves as “Lucas”.

Lore Website Takes it with Humor: On Twitter, the operators of the site mentioned that this was probably the best email they had ever received at Ishtar Collective. As a joke, they changed their name on Twitter to “Lucas.” However, they responded to the teacher “quite boring”.

Players also enjoy the jokes of Lucas. In the comments, they post memes that praise the student as “the greatest pirate of all time” or claim that we are all somehow “Lucas”.

Pokémon GO brings avatar poses, but is it necessary?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Pokémon GO has introduced avatar poses. This feature allows your avatar to stand differently. We will tell you whether this feature is really needed.

What are avatar poses? This feature was introduced by Niantic together with lucky friends. You have to purchase the poses in the shop, and once you own them, your avatar will be displayed everywhere with that special pose.

Is this feature needed? The basic idea behind it is fun because the avatar has always stood in the same poses. It gets boring over time.

However, many players think that the price in the shop for this pose is a bit excessive, and there is certainly some truth to that.

These are the 4 avatar poses

What do the poses look like? In total, there are 4 avatar poses available for purchase in the shop. We will show them to you here:

Avatar Poses
This is what the avatar poses look like

What do I get from the poses? Apart from your avatar standing differently, the poses bring nothing. It is purely a cosmetic feature, and you gain no advantage from a pose.

What do the poses cost? You have to pay 500 coins for each avatar pose. That’s about 5 euros. If you only take the coins from the gyms, you’ll need to earn the full coins for a total of 10 days.

von Noah Struthoff

What do the players say about it? Many players like the idea of avatar poses but find the price simply excessive. Thus, the opinions are not very positive:

“They are not even properly animated… they just moved his shoulders a bit. They could have had the guy throw the Pokéball in the air and catch it every 5 seconds or so to make it more interesting. 500 coins for something that could have taken a maximum of 5 minutes is unbelievable,” says “alice_afx” on Reddit.

Magma Aqua Outfit
The outfits in the shop are usually cheaper than the avatar poses

Another player compares the price even with other outfits: “For comparison: You can buy the complete Team Magma or Aqua outfit for the same price as one pose.”

What do you think about avatar poses? Do you think this feature is good or rather pointless?

A mega update for Sea of Thieves is coming – Why you should check it out

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

This month, Sea of Thieves will receive a major update that introduces quests, fishing, cooking, and the announced Arena mode. In the video, you will see the Arena mode.

What’s included in the update? On April 30, the Anniversary Update for Sea of Thieves is set to be released. So far, it is the most extensive update for the pirate adventure.

The expansion brings:

  • The new game mode “The Arena”
  • Quest campaigns
  • New types of ship damage
  • New factions
  • Harpoons
  • Fishing
  • Hunting
  • Cooking

Players have been waiting a long time for this huge update.

Reasons why Sea of Thieves will become interesting again

Reason 1: The new Arena mode offers a completely new gaming experience. In a time-limited competition, 5 teams compete against each other to score as many points as possible.

Ready for Arena fights?

Reason 2: New quests provide more PvE content and stories. In the expansions Hungering Deep and Cursed Sails, these story tasks were already tested, and now they are being expanded. However, the new story will not be time-limited but always available.

Reason 3: New factions. In the Arena mode and the Adventure mode, you will encounter a new faction each. The guys in Arena mode will reward you with cosmetic items. In Adventure mode, you are supposed to go hunting.

How the Arena works in Sea of Thieves

How to join the Arena: When you start the game after the update, you can choose whether to join the Arena mode or the previously known Adventure mode. This is a competition mode.

What’s new in the Arena? There you will find a new trading company where you can gather reputation. With that, you unlock cosmetic items and can also work towards becoming a pirate legend.

How to play: Players are placed in galleons in teams of 4. However, there is also the option to join the queue in smaller groups and fill them either with random players or close the group for more players.

Then, together with 4 other teams, you go onto the map. A round currently lasts 24 minutes.

There are various arenas. These are based on locations already known from Sea of Thieves. The arenas are circular and encompass five or eight islands, reports Polygon.

At various locations on the map, you can return treasures. Always with the risk that other players might sink your ship.

Is it all about PvP? No. Most points are collected by players through retrieving and returning treasures. They can also collect many points by sinking enemy ships. Killing opponents gives smaller rewards to make bigger objectives more interesting. This should be very strategic.

In the video from IGN, you can get a glimpse of the Arena mode:

What else does the update bring?

New quests for Sea of Thieves: The new campaign system is called Tall Tales and will be released in the big April update.

The stories of Tall Tales can be found in the future with the mysterious stranger who stands in the corner of the taverns. You activate the stories like the voyages on your ship.

A new faction: There is also a new faction for the adventure mode. These are hunters. They give you the opportunity to fish, prepare pigs and chickens, and hunt krakens and megalodons.

Targeted damage to ships: The update allows you to specifically damage a mast or the spill (the anchor chain holder). With a hit, the anchor of the opposing ship drops straight to the ground – players must repair it immediately to be able to continue sailing.

The mast can also fall over. You will then need 3 wooden planks to repair it and continue your journey.

Harpoons on ships: You can find harpoons at the bow of the ships. They can hit and pull almost anything. You can pull other pirates on board or steal treasure chests from their hands.

What changes of the April update are you particularly looking forward to?

Fortnite: The Big Update 8.30 Today – Patch Notes in English

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Today, the major update 8.30 is released for Fortnite . It requires 7 gigabytes on PC and about 4 gigabytes on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. What’s included in the patch? Let’s take a look at the patch notes in English.

Why is the update so large? Even though the update is quite large today, the changes are relatively modest. There are technical improvements happening in the background, which is why the patch is so substantial today.

Fortnite-Reboot Van
This is the major new feature of the patch.

Highlights of the Patch Notes 8.30 for Fortnite Battle Royale

New Feature: The “Reboot Van” is new in Fortnite. It has been added to all major Points-of-Interest on the map.

The vans are not available in solo or modes with large teams. If Respawn is active anyway, the vans are also not available.

The Reboot Vans are primarily intended for Duos and Squads.

If team members in Duos or Squads die, they leave behind a “Reboot Card.” Team members can collect this card and run to a van. The card remains in the world for 90 seconds and takes 0.5 seconds to pick up.

Fortnite Reboot Van Respawn
New feature with 8.30 – the Reboot Van

If living players interact with the Reboot Card of their dead teammates for 10 seconds with the van, their teammates return. The van is then disabled for 120 seconds and needs to recharge.

Those who are revived start with 100 health, a gray pistol, 36 bullets for the pistol, and 100 wood. It is recommended that the living players drop items for their friends.

fn-infanteriegewehr-titel-01
This weapon is back in action.

Weapon becomes weaker: The Infantry Rifle’s damage drops from 40/45 to 38/40.

Epic is really making adjustments to the weapon in nearly every Fortnite patch – in the last patch, the Infantry Rifle was completely overhauled and changed from a “Sniper Rifle” to a “Hitscan” rifle.

New Pirate Event with Special Challenges Starts

New Event: The Pirate Fever event runs from April 10 to April 15. There will be a new limited-time mode every day.

Additionally, extra new challenges will be active in Fortnite. There will also be more loot during the event in treasure chests or on the ground. The drop chances have been increased.

Fortnite Season 8 Week 1 Loading Screen

World Cup Begins: The first week of the World Cup qualification starts on April 13 and 14. The prize pool is 1 million US dollars.

The tournament will take place in solo mode – anyone who has reached the Champion League can participate.

This is the kickoff for the World Cup, which will then conclude with a grand finale in New York at the end of July. There’s a lot of money at stake for Fortnite players with professional ambitions.

Beta Storm: A new experimental mission type is coming. In “Supply Surge,” players are to find 5 trucks and get them running again. Players have 15 minutes for this. It’s meant to be a dynamic mode where the safe zone moves. The trucks are, of course, surrounded by husks – otherwise, it would be boring.

New “Normal Mission Type”: The beta mission “Eliminate and Collect” is now in the normal rotation but has been changed so that more collecting is required.

Fortnite Save the World Title
In “Save the World,” Fortnite heroes must survive in a world overrun by husks.

New Hero: Demolition Team Kyle comes to the event shop. He likely focuses on armor. He is a legendary constructor.

New Weapon: The Steampunk Shotgun “Double Boiler” is a fresh weapon in the shop. It fires two solid projectiles.

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Armor damage appears to be a valuable stat at first glance in The Division 2. However, it seems that the value is not functioning properly, as discovered by a player.

Here’s why armor damage is popular: The stat provides the player with a bonus damage against enemy armor. This allows players to destroy it faster and thus eliminate the enemy more quickly.

So it’s a direct damage buff that should have a positive effect in both PvE and PvP. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case in PvE, as one player has found out.

The-Division-2-Invasion

Armor damage seems to be bugged

This is what the player discovered: The user Fears_Revenge tested the utility of armor damage because he questioned its effect. He then posted his results in the subreddit of The Division 2.

According to these results, it appears that the value is currently not functioning in PvE.

This is how the test was conducted: At the shooting range in the operations base, Fears_Revenge tested the value directly on the target dummies.

This is shown in this screenshot of his test:

Each hit deals the same damage, the value currently seems to have no impact on enemy armor. He conducted the same test with NPC enemies in the Dark Zone and achieved the same result.

What about PvP? Strangely, the value seems to work in PvP.

In his test, he achieved 6407 damage per shot with armor damage, compared to just 5824 without it. That corresponds to the actual 10% bonus.

Thus, armor damage currently only has utility in the Dark Zone and Conflict modes. At least until Massive fixes the issue.

Not the only bugged value?

This is what the Reddit community says: Most responses are rather annoyed. Some players complain that there are several values and talents that do not function properly.

The armor stat is also not the first bug that has occurred after the last update:

This limits the choice of equipment. The user Zeus_Apollyon comments on this:

Honestly, I haven’t felt like farming so far because so much is broken at the moment. Why should I spend all my time farming for gear when I don’t even know if what I find works?

Most comments agree with this. Many actually love the game but feel held back at the moment by opaque and bugged stats.

WoW: Here’s how to start and complete the secret Xal’atath quest line today

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new quest line in World of Warcraft is available. We reveal how to set in motion the dark fate of Xal’atath.

With today’s maintenance (04/10/2019), a new quest line was unlocked in World of Warcraft. Especially Shadow Priests will be pleased, as there is a reunion with the dark blade Xal’atath. However, all other classes can also take on the quest line.

This is how you start the quest: The quest is started by collecting a specific seal. However, this seal is a drop that only drops from selected world quests. These are the “Naga Attack!” quests, which were newly added with patch 8.1.5. They should respawn every few hours and can appear in all areas of Zandalar and Kul Tiras. Even though the quest line is marked as “Elite”, it can easily be completed solo. All Naga within this world quest can drop the starting item.

WoW Azshara Naga title
In the “Naga Attack!” world quests, you will find the quest starter.

This is what happens in the quest line: Throughout the quest, players speak with the blade Xal’atath and help her regain her former strength. For this, souls must be consumed and relics recovered. These relics are then brought to the Cauldron of Storms and sacrificed to a creature – the Old God N’Zoth. Only then does it become clear that it was not about the relics, but about the players. Xal’atath presented the players on a silver platter to N’Zoth and incidentally granted him new power.

Additionally, Xal’atath is freed from the blade at the end and receives a physical form. From now on, she can roam freely in the world and will surely appear again sooner or later.

A decision with consequences: At the end of the quest line, there is also a decision to be made. You can choose whether you want to get rid of N’Zoth’s “gift”. In that case, you decide against being manipulated by N’Zoth. In compensation, however, there is a toy to at least simulate the effect. With the toy or “gift”, you have an eye of N’Zoth stuck to your head and can see other players with the “gift” as well.

What decision will you make? Do you keep the gift of the Old God and remain corrupted by him? Or will you free yourself from the dark creature right away?

Monster Hunter Online closes – Many monster hunters in the West would have liked to play it

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Tencent announced the shutdown of the MMORPG Monster Hunter Online. For a long time, fans of the series hoped to be able to officially play the online RPG here in Germany, but that will not happen now.

What is Monster Hunter Online? Before Monster Hunter World officially enabled multiplayer hunts against the massive creatures, fans of the series worldwide were hoping to get involved in the MMORPG Monster Hunter World. There was much speculation about its release in the West and how to join the Chinese server.

The online role-playing game was released in 2013 by Tencent – but only in China. In the game, you team up with others to hunt the monsters, with Monster Hunter Online focusing more on MMORPG elements than Monster Hunter World does. Thanks to Cryengine 3, the online game looks quite stunning.

By some detours, the title is playable on the Chinese servers with an English fan patch – at least for now.

Monster Hunter Online Battle

Capcom and Tencent part ways

Why is the MMORPG being discontinued? The official explanation is that the contract between developer Capcom and publisher Tencent is expiring and will not be renewed.

However, the online game faced technical issues. It was only minimally further developed and never had an official launch. Allegedly, Tencent was also not very enthusiastic about Capcom focusing more on Monster Hunter World, which was significantly more successful.

When do the gates close? Monster Hunter Online will be shut down on December 31, 2019. Even now, it is no longer possible to create a new account for the game or spend money in the in-game shop.

Players express disappointment

How are players reacting? Even though Monster Hunter Online was not officially playable in the West, some were able to join through alternative means. And on Reddit, players are now expressing disappointment over the end of the MMORPG.

Because it was essentially a good online role-playing game. While it could have used some optimizations, it was quite enjoyable to play.

  • bluefoxrabbit says: “That’s really too bad because the game was definitely fun.”
  • TyoPepe states: “That was it for a good game and the first Monster Hunter on PC.”

Many find it unfortunate that this title is ending before having a chance for a proper worldwide release.

Destiny 2: PS4-exclusive weapon appeared on PC and Xbox – What’s going on?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny-2 players on PC and Xbox One were able to grab a weapon that is still exclusive to PS4 for a short time and with a bit of luck. However, this was not planned. What’s behind this and what will happen to the weapon on these platforms now?

How Xur surprised the Guardians on PC and Xbox One: Some players were quite astonished when they visited Xur again on Tuesday, April 9, after the release of the Update 2.2.1.

Because there was a chance for them to get a weapon that is actually not available on their platforms yet.

This is the weapon in question: Specifically, it was the Wave Splitter – an exotic trace rifle that has been exclusive to PS4 since the release of the Forsaken expansion.

Detailed information about the weapon can be found here: One of the coolest weapons in Destiny 2 is only available for PS4

destiny 2 wave splitter 1

Actually, the weapon was supposed to remain exclusive to PlayStation at least until the upcoming autumn. Accordingly, its new proud owners on Xbox and PC were astonished.

How exactly could one get the weapon? Fans on PC and Xbox One apparently owe this weapon to a bug as well as a tweet from community manager dmg04.

Because after the update 2.2.1 was released, the community manager followed up with a patch note via Twitter that was forgotten in the official change log.

Since the update, there has been a chance at the mysterious exotic vendor to acquire Forsaken exotics when you buy a Destiny engram from him.

As Xur was available for nearly 40 minutes after the update and this notification until the following Weekly Reset, some players went and bought these engrams. Some Guardians on Xbox One and PC surprisingly received the Wave Splitter.

What happens to the weapon now on Xbox One and PC? Many fans were accordingly happy about the new firearm. At the same time, they wondered about its unexpected appearance and what will happen to this exotic weapon on PC and Xbox now.

destiny 2 wave splitter 3 guardians

Some speculated that the exclusivity was finally lifted. Others speculated it was a bug. Now, a statement from community manager Cozmo provided clarity.

As he explained in the official Bungie forum, it is a mistake and was not intended. The developers are already working on a fix. He did not mention a specific date for it.

However, players who now own the Wave Splitter on PC and Xbox will be able to use the weapon until the bug fix is released. Afterwards, the gun will remain in their inventory but cannot be used until it is added to the regular loot pool on these platforms in September 2019.

The exclusivity of the Wave Splitter will officially end in autumn 2019.

Did you have luck and were you able to secure the Wave Splitter from Xur on PC or Xbox? What do you think of the weapon?

This bug in Dead by Daylight causes 4 killers in a match

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A crazy bug in Dead by Daylight leads to outrageous scenes. Suddenly, a survivor must face 4 killers!

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game. Normally, four survivors face one killer. The majority is balanced out by the killer being unstoppable, giving the survivors a chance. However, a current bug causes the killers to be in the majority.

What happens with the bug? Due to an error, a group of players led by user ImCows manages to bring multiple killers into one game. Instead of one killer, survivors then face two, three, or even four killers. It is impossible to win, but it provides great fun for those affected, as this video shows:

The Day I Broke Dead By Daylight (4 killers vs 1 survivor) from r/deadbydaylight

How exactly does the bug work? ImCows does not reveal that. He also advises not to try to reproduce the bug as this could lead to penalties such as a ban. However, he has pushed the fun to the limit and admits that “the joy of the moment was greater than the concern for his account.” Meanwhile, he has sent a report to the developers and informed them of the conditions under which the bug occurs.

Multiple killers in a game also seem to lead to other interesting glitches. When “The Pig” (the SAW killer) sets a trap on a survivor’s head, it does not wait for a time limit to go off, but immediately eliminates the survivor. This also provided several laughs in the clip.

Similar bug has been around for a while: That players come together with multiple killers is a known bug that has only appeared in the “Kill Your Friends” mode so far. That it can now be reliably reproduced in the normal, ranked game mode is likely to cause the developers to work on a fix rapidly.

What do you think of this bug? A funny experience that causes a lot of confusion and amusing moments? Or should it be immediately penalized with an account penalty?

Have you heard about the latest killer “The Plague”?

Egg Spectacle 2019 in Pokémon GO brings these Shinys and bonuses

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Easter event has been announced! It’s all about eggs. A new shiny will be released.

When does the event run? The event starts on April 16 at 10 PM and runs until April 23 at 10 PM.

This is what the event includes: During the event week, there will likely be different Pokémon hatching from eggs, and Shiny Haspiror will be available for the first time.

This is the Egg Spectacle 2019

These are the bonuses: In this event, there are many bonuses, especially many extras related to eggs. So, there are:

  • Double candies for hatching eggs
  • Incubators hatch twice as fast
  • Lucky Eggs last an hour instead of 30 minutes
  • Shiny Haspiror is coming to the game
  • Other Pokémon may hatch from eggs
  • Pokémon like Pichu, Magby, and Kussilla can be found in 2 km eggs
  • Field research related to eggs will be active during the event
Shiny Haspiror
Shiny Haspiror and Shiny Schlapor

This is what we know about the shiny: With Shiny Haspiror, a sparkling rabbit, fitting for Easter, comes to the game. It remains to be seen whether this Pokémon can be frequently found in the wild, or if the best chance is from eggs.

That’s why you should go hatching: In this event, you have the best chances at shiny babies since some of them apparently come from 2 km eggs.

Thanks to the event, you only need to walk one kilometer and could possibly hatch shiny babies. These shinys are particularly rare, as you can only get baby Pokémon from eggs and cannot catch them in the wild.

Egg Event Pokemon GO
You should go hatch eggs during the event!

How the egg pool is changing otherwise is not known. However, if rare Pokémon are introduced into the egg pool, it will be worth walking several kilometers.

This is what we know about the egg quests: Not much is known about that yet. There are already some field research related to eggs in the game, where you can obtain, for example, Chansey or Snubbull.

During the event, there could be more of these quests, and they could appear more frequently.

The egg pool has changed a bit already. At least some players say that:

Fallout 76 Patch from April 9, 2019, the patch notes in German

The new patch does not bring any major new features to Fallout 76. However, new content is being added and further features are being prepared for the future.

What has not been found in the patch notes so far are the player shops that have been eagerly awaited for some time. This has been postponed to May 7th.

Fallout 76 roadmap updated with new data

These contents are coming to Fallout 76: Two points from the new contents are particularly interesting.

  • New quest line: The quest line “The Lying Lowe” is now available. In a kind of scavenger hunt, you must track the trails of a new cryptid, the “Sheepsquatch”, which is related to the disappearance of Calvin Can Lowe. A lot of detective work awaits you. You can start the quest via posters that you find in Lewisburg or at train stations, and you can buy them for free in the Atomic Shop until May 7th.
  • Renaming items: You now have the option to give weapons, armor, and clothing individual names. This way, you can prevent accidentally selling or scrapping your favorite items. Simply select the item and choose the “Rename” option under “Details”.
Fallout 76 Döner knife title
Your favorite weapon can now have its own name.

What is changing: Some of the existing features have changed.

  • V.A.T.S. is improving: Neutral creatures and friendly players are no longer considered possible targets by V.A.T.S. This should make it less likely to accidentally get into PvP.
  • Turrets: The turrets of your C.A.M.P.s will receive damage scaling and an increase in base damage. Additionally, turrets have a longer range and shotgun turrets have less spread.
  • Insult bot: The insult bot beloved by many players now really insults players.
  • Survival mode: In the beta of the new PvP mode, some of the PvP rules have been revised. Among other things, players drop less resources and caps upon death.

These features are planned for the future: Bethesda announced an underground dungeon for April 16 that is supposed to be located beneath Harpers Ferry. The dungeon is designed for groups.

Along with the highlights, there are numerous bug fixes and further adjustments. You can find the complete patch notes on Bethesda’s official website.

Which change do you like best?

Football professional is missing injured on the field, instead plays FIFA 19 at pro level

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19, a football professional made it among the best FIFA players worldwide. Without a top team, he achieved a 29-1 success in the Weekend League.

This is the professional footballer: Manuel Kubli is a 24-year-old football player of the second division club FC Rapperswil-Jona in Switzerland, who, when he is not on the pitch, enjoys spending his time playing FIFA. Because even on the console, Kubli is talented.

This is what happened: As he was injured and missed his team’s match last weekend, only able to watch from the stands, he had enough time to participate in the Weekend League.

His fans were able to join him live on Twitch. And indeed, he managed an incredible 29 wins out of 30 games. A success that not every FIFA eSports player can boast. It was only in the last game that Kubli had to concede defeat.

This is how the Weekend League works: The FUT Champions Weekend League is the most important and profitable game mode of FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. Here, 30 games can be completed over the weekend, aiming to collect as many wins as possible.

The rewards depend on the number of wins. Therefore, with many wins, really strong rewards can be obtained. However, these are not easy to achieve, as the best FIFA players face off in the Weekend League.

Rank 12 in the world without an absolute top team

Manuel Kubli made it to rank 12 in the world with his performance. This is an extreme success, considering that Kubli’s team does not consist solely of Icon and TOTY cards, as is common for many eSports players.

In Kubli’s team, three Icon cards can be found, but there are also quite a number of untradeable Inform cards that he received for his successes in the Weekend League. Kubli also plays with regular gold cards, which at such a level is also unusual.

Manuel Kubli impressively demonstrates that it is not only possible to achieve great success as a professional football player in FIFA. But also that this can work with a balanced team. Provided the ability.
