The Neowiz Bless Studio, which was specifically founded for the development of Bless Online, will once again be part of the parent company. The change will not initially affect the MMORPG.
What happened? The Korean company Neowiz announced that the Bless Studio will be dissolved on June 19 and the developers will be reintegrated into the parent company. According to the official justification, this should simplify management and increase corporate value.
Originally, the Bless Studio had around 200 employees. How many are still there after the issues and several failed releases in different regions of the world is unknown.
What impact does this have on Bless Online? There is currently no official statement on the future of Bless Online. However, since Neowiz had an influence throughout the development of the game, the cuts may be limited, and operations could continue normally.
This would be different if the entire team were sent to new projects. Then it could even lead to discontinuation. The Bless subreddit is already speculating about a possible end to the MMORPG.
The Round 8 team is also affected by the consolidation. This is a group from the Neowiz Bless Studio that takes care of the console version Bless Unleashed. There has been no statement about the future here either.
The end of Bless Online would surprise few
How has it been recently in Bless Online? Many players expect the end also because updates in Bless Online have been handled very poorly in recent months.
On March 27, there was a server rollback and extended downtimes for the game. For this, the developers even distributed compensations in the form of real money currency.
However, the Update 3.5.0 from April 3 again led to problems. In the following days, there were again many outages, and this time real money currency was distributed again. Even three times compared to the previous outage.
What do the player numbers of Bless Online say? Looking at the Steam charts, you can see that the player numbers of Bless Online are continuously declining.
In the last 30 days, an average of around 360 players played the game simultaneously. At the same time, there were 691 players online at peak times.
In October and November, there was a noticeable upturn in player numbers. At that time, Bless Online had just gone free-to-play, for early access you had to pay, attracting new players. However, the trend in 2019 speaks a clear language.
Servers in other regions already shut down: Not only is the European version of Bless falling short of expectations, but it also performed poorly in other regions. In Russia, the MMORPG did not take off and was discontinued in May 2018.
If you have enjoyed Bless so far or want to give a better version another chance, you can still hold out hope for Bless Unleashed.
Not the same game: The Xbox version of Bless is said to differ from the previous MMORPG. They are only supposed to resemble each other in terms of graphics, assets, and basic setting.
Bless Unleashed, however, relies on Unreal Engine 4 and a new lore. The game is set in a kind of parallel world. Additionally, the developers are forgoing tab-targeting for the console.
When will Bless Unleashed be released? Originally, Bless Unleashed was supposed to be released according to publisher Bandai Namco still in 2019. The restructuring could change that, but it doesn’t have to.
Streamer “Disguised Toast” manages to find the funniest combos in Hearthstone once again. Some combinations with the new cards even paralyze the entire game.
When a new expansion of Hearthstone is released, the well-known streamer Disguised Toast performs at his best. He is known in the community for his outrageous combinations and brilliant plays. He is also quite good at uncovering gameplay errors and discovering hidden interactions. He has already done a lot with “Saviors of Uldum” as well. We would like to briefly present his best finds and combinations here.
A deck creates explosive excitement
In the past hours, Disguised Toast has mostly experimented with a Warrior deck alongside the already widely disliked Murloc deck .
The deck is based on not killing the opponent with direct damage but rather bringing numerous bombs into the opponent’s deck that will cause the necessary damage when drawn.

By combining the new card Bomb Master Boom, which summons 2 Boom Bots for each bomb in the opponent’s deck, the combination often makes quick work of the opponent when it works.
If you want to play the deck yourself, here is the corresponding code that you just need to copy into Hearthstone.
Funny and devastating interactions in the new addon
Already with Archmage Vargoth (which is free), Disguised Toast managed to crash Hearthstone. By executing a clever combo, he managed to bring the Archmage onto the battlefield in 6 copies and then also double their effect. He then played a deck of wonders that shuffles 5 spell cards into the deck. This effect was repeated 12 times by Archmage Vargoth.
In his next turn, he began to draw the 60 spells one after another and cast them automatically. The result was that the game no longer functioned. Hearthstone apparently could not handle so many effects. The match did not end, even though his opponent’s life points dropped to 0.

Cool interactions between characters: Blizzard frequently includes Easter eggs when certain cards meet in play. This is also the case in Saviors of Uldum. Instead of their normal voice line, the cards then come with a special quote.
If you play the servant Khadgar while the opponent is playing a Medivh as the Mage hero, Khadgar calls out: “I have defeated you before, Master! I can do it again!”
If Khadgar (servant) is played against Khadgar (Mage hero), the former calls out: “Fraud! I am the real Khadgar!”
If the servant Vereesa Windrunner is used against the warrior helper Garrosh, she exclaims: “You will pay! For Rhonin!” She says this because Garrosh caused Vereesa’s husband Rhonin to die in the explosion of a mana bomb in World of Warcraft.
New bugs in Saviors of Uldum
However, not only cool interactions has Disguised Toast found, but also uncovered some clear bugs that occur only in very specific situations.
Vendetta only works with Rogues: The rogue card Vendetta should cost 0 when you have a card from another class in hand. However, that also means that any other class should always be able to play Vendetta for free. A Priest with Vendetta should not need to pay any mana, as Vendetta itself is “a card from another class.” But that is not the case. The Vendetta bonus is only triggered if you still have another foreign card in hand.

Lifesteal with Divine Shield and Long Reach Strike: If you give a servant with Poison or Lifesteal the spell “Long Reach Strike” so that it also deals damage to neighboring servants, neither Lifesteal nor Poison is applied to the neighboring servants if the original target has Divine Shield. Normal damage is still dealt. A clear bug that should be fixed promptly.
Priest Healing Error: The two priest servants Scrappy and Auchenaiseelenpriester do not interact correctly. The deathrattle effect of the Scrappy heals the opposing hero for 5 health points. The Auchenaiseelenpriester converts healing into damage. If the Auchenaiseelenpriester dies at the same time as the Scrappy, the deathrattle should heal again, as such effects are processed after death – but that does not happen. Instead, the Scrappy still deals damage.
Have you also found cool combinations or funny interactions between cards? Have you also encountered errors that need to be fixed? Which card are you currently experimenting with?
The TOTW 30 (Team of the Week) is known. These players are in the Team of the Week and now receive new Inform cards in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team.
This is the Team of the Week: Every week EA Sports selects 23 players for the Team of the Week. These players receive upgraded Inform cards, which are available in packs for seven days.
The best cards of the TOTW 30: This week Lewandowski (94) has received the best TOTW card. However, there are now also very strong Inform cards from Sarabia (88), Son (87) and Ilicic (87)
Bundesliga players in the TOTW 30: Not surprisingly, Robert Lewandowski (94) has made it into the Team of the Week. After his performance against Borussia Dortmund, many had already anticipated this.
However, Hasebe (81), Belfodil (81) and Mateta (78) also represent the Bundesliga in the Team of the Week.
This is Lewandowski’s new card: Robert Lewandowski receives this week his third Inform card in FUT 19. This card boasts a very high overall rating of 94 and is thus the strongest striker card in the Bundesliga.
Third Inform Lewandowski (94)
Compared to his second TOTW card, all stats have been improved a little bit here. However, the biggest jumps were in pace, passing stats and physicality:
Pace: 83 -> 85
Passing: 82 -> 84
Physicality: 85 -> 87

The release of the TOTW 30: The new Inform cards are released on 04/10 at 7 PM.
How to get TOTW cards
From Packs: You can pull the most sought-after TOTW cards from these packs.
Bronze or Silver TOTW cards can also be found in the corresponding Bronze and Silver Packs.
But don’t get your hopes up too soon. It is unlikely to pull a good TOTW card from packs.
In the transfer market: If you don’t want to spend coins on packs, you have the option to buy TOTW cards on the transfer market. However, prices for the particularly good cards are quite steep.
This is how you can earn coins with TOTW player cards:

These emotes are also new: Completing the findings are 2 emotes that were also discovered in the new game data. One of the emotes shows you how to open a chest with a key.
This is important when purchasing: The findings are exclusively cosmetic items. You will not get better if you buy these outfits. You are only changing your appearance.
When will the cosmetics be available in the shop? These outfits are likely to be released before the next patch. So this should happen in the coming days and weeks.

The US site ESPN Esports held a voting tournament to find the top streamer on Twitch among 64 candidates. A total of 2.3 million people voted. The French streamer Gotaga triumphed, defeating stars of the English-speaking Twitch like Shroud and Ninja.
What kind of tournament is this? It is a form of social media tournament. The site ESPN E-Sports announced a competition among 64 streamers chosen by them. They then assigned a specific “ranking” to the streamers and divided them into groups. The ranking aimed to prevent favorites from facing each other in the early rounds.
Now, 2 players face off in a poll on Twitter against each other. The one who receives the most votes proceeds to the next round.
The event took place from March 26 to April 9.

Ninja encourages his followers to vote for him to beat Gotaga.
What is it about? The tournament is purely a popularity contest. It is thus best seen as a measure of how popular the respective streamers are and how well they can mobilize their fanbase on Twitter to vote for their favorite.
Many streamers are participating and apparently want to win. They encourage their fanbase to vote for them. It’s about prestige.
Shroud made it to the finals.
How did the streamers perform that we often cover on MeinMMO?
The 2018 winner was Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. He was also considered a favorite in 2019 and was ranked 1 in his division. However, he was eliminated in a direct comparison with the French streamer Gotaga (only number 7) after previously defeating LoL pro Uzi . Ninja made it to the quarter-finals.

He is significantly smaller with 1.6 million followers on Twitch compared to Shroud (6.1 million) or Ninja (13.9 million), but seems to have succeeded best in motivating his followers.
So this time the underdog clearly won and showed that there is also a Twitch beyond the English-speaking one.
Wizards Unite will be released in summer, but you can already reserve your player name for the Harry Potter spin-off of Pokémon GO.
You can now do this: If you already play Pokémon GO or Ingress, you can reserve your username from there for the new Niantic game.
This way you can continue to use your previous in-game name at the launch of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
How to reserve your username
How does it work? To reserve your username, you need to access the Niantic’s website. There, you select whether you play Pokémon GO or Ingress and then choose your platform with which you are registered for the game.
Once you’ve logged in successfully, your reservation will be confirmed.
You should receive this message after the reservation.
That’s why you should reserve your name: If you want to continue playing with the same player name as in Ingress or Pokémon GO, you should definitely reserve it.
How long is the reservation valid? If you reserve your username, it is valid for 6 months after the release. After that, your reservation will expire.
If you want to keep your username in Wizards Unite, you should reserve it
When will Wizards Unite be released? There is no release date yet. However, it is known that the game will be released in summer. Many players already have a theory about the release.
Will you reserve your username in advance, or is the name not that important to you?

With Cryofall, a new survival MMO in Early Access on Steam has been released. Behind the new game is Daedalic Entertainment as publisher, a well-known German studio in a completely different field.
What is Cryofall? Cryofall is a new survival MMO on an alien planet. Similar to the single-player game Rimworld, you crash on an unknown planet and must survive.
Cryofall offers an isometric perspective with detailed graphics
One of the main features is survival and building your own home
You also have to deal with up to 200 players per server.
In this, you can establish a functioning economy and trade, leading to large industries.
Economic systems such as coin minting, trading, and vending machines are managed by players.
Who developed the game? Cryofall is developed by AtomicTorch, a developer studio from Singapore. AtomicTorch is responsible for games like Dinocide and Voidexpanse, both of which have to deal with “mixed” reviews on Steam. (Status: April 10, 2019)
However, the publisher behind the studio for Cryofall is the German studio Daedalic Entertainment from Hamburg. Daedalic is one of the most renowned studios for story-games internationally and is famous for several iconic game series:
Deponia
Edna & Harvey
The Whispered World

How is Cryofall doing? So far, Cryofall is performing significantly better than the previous games from AtomicTorch. With 107 reviews, it has a “mostly positive” rating (79%, as of April 10, 2019)
The most popular features are the beautiful graphics and the challenging tasks. The entry into the game is said to be quite easy. Supporters often compare Cryofall to the survival classic Rust and recommend fans of Rust, ARK, Rimworld, and Conan Exiles to take a look.
Negative criticism exists regarding player behavior and PvP. Even if the game is easy to understand, the startup is almost impossible. Existing players can easily slaughter and rob newcomers repeatedly without protection. Getting into the relevant features is therefore very difficult.

Recently, a part of the map of Fortnite had to be changed: the player-generated section “The Block” was removed and replaced with a new one. The developers of Fortnite noticed that the scene resembled a suicide.
On April 2, one of the buildings was replaced by a new creation. There was initially a creepy house. But that had to be replaced just a few days later with the Tropical Treetops.
The change became necessary for Epic because fans raised concerns that the house would depict a suicide scene.
What kind of house was that? The user FuryLeaks created the building. Players could explore the house from top to bottom; there was a lot to see. On Twitter, the creator shared a tour of the house.
At the end, one can see a character hanging from the ceiling, with an overturned chair underneath. It resembles a suicide.
This is what the house looked like in the game: On the Fortnite map, the house was not entirely taken from the video. The character who was hanging from the ceiling in the basement was not visible on the map. Only the overturned chair and the rope were visible.
This is what players saw in the scene – Source: Reddit user req-q
The player req-q writes on Reddit: “Epic should really check the maps before they appear at The Block. Someone hung themselves here.”
How Fortnite reacted: After this part of the house received much attention, the developers quickly removed this building and replaced it with an older one.
“It was just a joke”
The creator of the building, FuryLeaks, spoke to the website Polygon about the situation. The house was meant to show what was left after an earthquake.
“The chair was supposed to hang on the rope but fell down,” explains FuryLeaks. “I made a joke in the cinematic, with someone hanging themselves… but… yeah. It really shouldn’t look like that.”
On Twitter, FuryLeaks also writes, “Welcome to Fortnite. A game where you kill people. But we also hate it when people die.”
This is what Fortnite says about it
In the meantime, Fortnite responded to the situation. They say that the creator’s content from The Block was removed because it did not comply with the content creation guidelines.
In future creations, Fortnite will likely look more closely at which ones will actually be adopted into the game. Do you think the situation was too harsh for the game?
The new patch brings reboot vans into the game. Here they are:
A new exploit allowed some players to secure thousands of enhancement cores in a very short time in Destiny 2. The bug was related to the top weapons of Season 6. This is how Bungie responded.
Therefore, Bungie is disabling rewards for top weapon quests: As the studio announced shortly after rolling out Update 2.2.1 on Tuesday evening, Bungie has indefinitely disabled the rewards for the top weapon quests of Season 6.
Progress can still be made in the respective quests, but there are currently no weapons at the end. This step does not affect weapons already obtained.

Without further explanation, an exploit was cited as the reason, which apparently sneaked into the game with the recent update. When a corresponding fix is to arrive is currently unknown.
What is the exploit about? Meanwhile, reports on Reddit surfaced, revealing the extent and functionality of the exploit.
The exploit allowed Guardians to accumulate large amounts of enhancement cores from the rewards of the new top weapon quests under certain conditions – essentially an unlimited number without real effort.
Some players were able to secure thousands of these coveted cores used for infusing gear and for masterwork upgrades.
How exactly did the exploit work? If you had already completed the quest for the top weapons before the update, you could visit the corresponding vendor and request the respective top weapon an unlimited number of times – provided you had not yet claimed the reward for the quest with all your characters.
This worked with all three top weapons of Season 6. Dismantling a single example of these top weapons yields not only weapon parts but also 7 guaranteed enhancement cores.
How fast and easy it went was documented by YouTuber Esoterickk in a video:

The discussion is not exactly new, but after this incident, more and more fans are calling for the enhancement cores to be removed from the infusion process. Many Guardians are dissatisfied with the current enhancement core economy, as well as Bungie’s related future plans and the infusion process:
What do you think? Should enhancement cores be decoupled from infusion – especially now that many Guardians might be set for enhancement cores for quite a while?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.

Rinyde certainly wants us to ensure that he has some sense and returns to his old life. But Larydel is no longer he, but she and goes by the name “Alchemy. “
We would not like to spoil any further at this point.
The jury praised the quest for reflecting the topics of coming out and acceptance, which also play a significant role in the real lives of transgender people, particularly well.
How do players find the quest? Comments on Reddit suggest that most players have spent a few enjoyable hours with Alchemy and had fun.
It is also highly praised that the message of the quest is not pushed in a intrusive manner and that sexually diverse characters, of which there are a considerable number in ESO, are generally integrated into the game world in a very natural manner.
Moth, an NPC from the quest
The Reddit user Lateshifter writes, for example:
As someone from the LGBT community who has been there since the BETA, I am so happy that this game won. The representation – of LGBT people (editor’s note) – has been part of this game from the beginning, but it has been done in the way that I absolutely prefer. We are treated just like normal people.
Did you also come across this quest while playing through Summerset? What do you think, is the award deserved? Or should it have gone to one of the competitors instead?
With Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order, Respawn Entertainment is working on a new Star Wars game. Not much is currently known, but there will be info and gameplay during the Star Wars Celebration this weekend.
What is Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order? The developers of the battle royale shooter Apex Legends are telling a story with their game that is set between Star Wars: Episode 3 and Episode 4.
You take on the role of a Jedi apprentice who survived Order 66 from Emperor Palpatine and is now on the run from the Empire. Darth Vader and the stormtroopers are searching the galaxy for surviving Jedi to finally destroy the Order.
What is the story behind this lightsaber in Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order?
Singleplayer or Multiplayer?
What kind of game will it be? Not much is known about the title yet. It is supposed to be a story-driven action game in which you get the feeling of being a Jedi.
This likely means that we can expect lightsaber battles and also the use of the Force.
What about multiplayer elements? Neither EA nor Respawn have currently commented on whether Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order will be a purely single-player game or if it will have multiplayer components.
However, since Electronic Arts discontinued the single-player-focused action-adventure that Visceral Games was working on a while ago to focus on games-as-a-service titles, we can at least assume there will be microtransactions and DLCs.
No one should be surprised if the Respawn title becomes a live service game. We should not expect another battle royale shooter after Apex Legends.
What has been shown so far? Aside from an animated logo as a teaser, there is nothing else to see yet. This teaser shows a broken lightsaber with a very unique design.

When will there be more to see? On Saturday, April 13th at 8:30 PM our time, Respawn Entertainment will present the game in more detail during the Star Wars Celebration. Gameplay is also expected to be shown.
What do Star Wars fans think? As is seen in the comments to the teaser on Twitter, many are so excited that they would pre-order the title immediately.
Others are a bit more cautious and refer to Anthem. Some are wondering what focus the microtransactions will have. We will learn more about Star Wars: Jedi – Fallen Order this weekend.
With Magic: The Gathering Arena, Wizards of the Coast aims to showcase the grandfather of collectible card games in a fresh and new digital format. What is the state of the game today in April 2019, even though it is not appearing on Steam?
What is Magic: The Gathering Arena? Magic: The Gathering Arena is the latest installment in the digital Magic game series. Unlike previous spinoffs, Arena is designed to constantly evolve through the new “Game Rules Engine” and be able to bring new expansions of the real card game into digital form without many changes.
Magic: The Gathering Arena is available for free. The game is financed through the purchase of optional gems that players can use to buy additional booster packs or participate in tournaments.
Players can try the 81st expansion of real Magic: The Gathering first in digital form in Arena at the end of April.
Community and Streaming Instead of Steam
Arena not on Steam: The latest installment in the digital Magic games, Magic: The Gathering Arena, has been playable in open beta since September 27, 2018. Previously, fans enjoyed the collectible card game in the closed beta, if they were selected for the closed testing phase.
Some interested parties were disappointed at the announcement of the game, as Arena, unlike previous installments, has not yet appeared on Steam. Instead, developers rely on their own launcher, which can be downloaded for free from the official website. A dismay for some players who hoped to invest their Steam credit into virtual cards.
Whether Arena will ever appear on Valve’s platform remains uncertain.
In the tutorial, players encounter none other than Nicol Bolas.
Arena focuses on streaming: The developers of Magic: The Gathering Arena fully rely on the community. They work with content creators for deck builds or promote various streamers, for example, with giveaways on their channels.
Arena is also expected to have a future in esports. At the recent PAX East at the end of March, well-known Magic streamers and some of the best Arena players competed against each other in the Magic: The Gathering Mythic Invitational tournament. There was a total prize pool of 1 million US dollars. More information can be found on the official website.
The Number 2 After Hearthstone
How many players does Arena have? Wizards of the Coast remains reserved about the player numbers:
The developers only announced via Twitter that around 17 million matches were played during the first weekend of the open beta.
Players on the subreddit believe that while Magic: The Gathering Arena has fewer players than Hearthstone, it has more than all other digital collectible card games.
In the Arena store, players can purchase cards and packs with real money, gems, and in-game currency.
On Twitch, Magic: The Gathering Arena is streamed under the general category “Magic: The Gathering.” While many streamers are active in Arena there, older versions of the digital MTG games and sometimes even the real-life variant also fall into this category.
The category has nearly 1.1 million followers on Twitch and, according to Twitchtracker, has an average of nearly 10,000 concurrent viewers daily. The highest number of viewers was 156,000.
Friendly Community with Active Streamers
What players say: Overall, players receive Arena well. The community in forums and social media seems very friendly and also provides comprehensive help to newcomers. Friendly streamers and their viewers are often referenced.
There is some criticism regarding the lack of a release on Steam
It is also frustrating that Magic: The Gathering Arena is generally only available for PC and not for mobile devices.
A big topic in the Arena community right now is the use of chat phrases. Like Hearthstone, Arena does not have in-game chat, only individual phrases that players can communicate to their opponents.
In Hearthstone there’s a lot of gurgling going on again. The Murlocs are currently overwhelming the game and causing frustration – unless you play them yourself.
If you have played against other players since the launch of the new Hearthstone expansion Rise of Shadows, you surely noticed some cheerful gurgling. The “Murloc Shaman” is the new annoying deck of Hearthstone that drives players crazy.
Why is this deck so popular? The Murloc Shaman is not only a relatively easy deck to play, but it can also decide the match in just a few turns. Matches against a Murloc Shaman rarely last long enough to reach the “late game”.
If you don’t want to waste much time with individual games, but want to check off match after match, the fast Murloc deck is perfect for you.
What makes the deck so strong? Many Murlocs have synergy effects that combine the casting of multiple Murlocs into a strong combo.
There is a Murloc that gains more attack power for every Murloc played.
Another Murloc ensures that you get a new Murloc into your hand every time a Murloc is played.
And then there’s of course the new Shaman Legendary Scargill. It ensures that all Murlocs of the Shaman only cost 1 mana.
Only decks that have a lot of area spells or strong taunt minions can stand against this flood of gurgling minions. All others will be overwhelmed in no time.
Why is this deck so annoying? Since the “Classic” version of Hearthstone, Murloc decks have been effective from time to time. This can quickly lead to frustration for the opponent. Just like the well-known “Zoo” decks, Murloc decks can quickly recover from a setback and flood the board with creatures again. Opponents can hardly keep up and must keep “cleaning the board” without being able to establish a solid board themselves.
How can I play it myself? If you are not averse to it or actually enjoy Murlocs, you can definitely play the deck yourself.
In that case, we’ll just quietly leave the deck code here, which you can simply take into your clipboard and then paste into Hearthstone. You will then get the Murloc deck in its usual form.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.

We have embedded the fight’s progress in the video below, starting around 22:40. However, if you don’t want to spoil the story, it is recommended to play the quest first and then watch the video.

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.
This hut is where the event takes place.

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.
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.

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.”
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”
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.

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 …
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 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.
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”.
