The long-awaited return of Rayquaza in Pokémon GO is approaching. However, some players are concerned about two things, which has dampened the mood in the community slightly.
Here lies the problem: Despite this good news, the event is not well-received everywhere. In particular, two issues are seen as problematic: the short event duration and the absence of Shiny.
We delve into the players’ concerns and explain what the issue is for some players.
Reason 1: There is no Shiny Rayquaza
This is what Niantic says about it: Regarding the Shiny topic, the Japanese Twitter account of Pokémon GO made a statement. They explained that there will be no shiny Rayquaza at the event.
Shiny Rayquaza will not be available for the time being.
This is why it is a problem: Niantic has hosted such raid weekends several times. There, players were able to catch the shiny version of the Pokémon. This was also the case most recently with Latias.
Moreover, the raid days of the legendary birds or Gengar also gave players the opportunity to catch their shiny forms for the first time.
It is all the more surprising that there will be no Shiny Rayquaza. Many players were hoping for such a weekend with the shiny form of the legendary Pokémon and are now disappointed.
This is what players think about it: On Reddit, there is a lot of discussion, and players’ opinions are mostly negative. A user named sts_ssp writes on Reddit: “I would have invested numerous raid passes for Shiny Rayquaza, but since there is no Shiny, I will wait until next time.”
“I won’t spend my premium passes if it’s not shiny. This is so disappointing,” writes another Reddit user.
Not only Pikachu is sad that there is no Shiny Rayquaza.
But there is also hope: Other players see something positive in all of this. They assume that Rayquaza will definitely come back again. Niantic should hopefully bring the legendary Pokémon in its shiny form then. Players also hope that this event will last longer than just a weekend.
Reason 2: Rayquaza is only available for one weekend
These are the event times: Rayquaza will return for a short time. You will only have the opportunity to encounter Rayquaza in raids from Saturday, March 16, to Monday, March 18.
This is why it is a problem: For many players, this time frame is simply too short. If one is unavailable that weekend, then there is almost no chance to catch Rayquaza.
Rayquaza returns only for a short time
Rayquaza is one of the best Pokémon in the game, which makes it all the more frustrating that it is only available for a short time.
This is the positive aspect: Since the event time is so short and there is no shiny, there will surely be another event surrounding Rayquaza. Therefore, players will have two chances to catch the legendary Pokémon.
What do you think about the event? Are you excited for Rayquaza or is it too short available for you?
Do you have all the gyms in your city at gold level? If not, now is the best time:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale there are new tasks for week 2 of season 8. This time it involves pirate cannons and a journey to the edge of the world.
In week 2 of season 8 there isn’t much spectacular. You have to defeat opponents and visit locations again. But there is also a fun task involving cannons.
Free and paid: If you want to complete all 7 challenges, you need the battle pass for season 8. It costs 950 V-Bucks (9.50 Euro). Those without a pass can only tackle the three free tasks of week 2.
All Challenges of Week 2 in Season 8
The free challenges
Reward
Land at the Block Land at Dusty Divot Land at Polar Peak Land at Snobby Shores Land at Paradise Palms
5 stars/500 XP
Deal damage to a supply drop that is falling
5 stars/500 XP

How to complete the task: Overall, you need to land at 5 locations:
Land at the Block
Land at Dusty Divot
Land at Polar Peak
Land at Snobby Shores
Land at Paradise Palms
Challenge 2 – Deal 200 damage to a falling supply drop
How to complete the task: This task is a bit tricky since supply drops are rare and you need to shoot them while they are falling. This consumes ammunition and makes you noticeable.
Ideally, complete the task in a mode with enhanced loot, as more supply drops tend to fall.
Challenge 3 – Eliminate 3 opponents in Salty Springs or Haunted Hills
How to complete the task: This is the usual kill task that shouldn’t be a big problem.
Challenge 4 – Gain health from apples (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: This task isn’t a big problem either. Every player should have used an apple at some point to regenerate 25 health points. Phase 2 requires 50 health points from campfires (Locations can be found here). Phase 3 requires 75 health from medkits.
Challenge 5 – Visit the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost point of the island (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: In our guide, we show you each location you need to visit for this task:
Challenge 6 – Deal damage to opponents with a pirate cannon (Battle Pass only)
How to complete the task: Pirate cannons are fun and fit well with the theme of season 8. Therefore, it is also great fun to complete this task. Just find a cannon and shoot it at your opponents.
You can find cannons at the new pirate camps in Fortnite; here are their locations:
On Tuesday evening, Ajax Amsterdam sensationally eliminated the defending champion Real Madrid 4:1 from the UEFA Champions League. This was also noticeable in FIFA 19.
This is how the Champions League match went: The Dutch traditional club had to overcome a 2:1 deficit from the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Against the defending champion Real Madrid, this seemed like an impossible task.
But the team led by goalscorers Ziyech, David Neres, Tadić, and Schöne not only played sensationally, they also scored four goals against the “Royal” squad. A deficit from which Real could not recover. In a wild match, the underdog triumphed – and suddenly became extremely popular in FIFA 19.
Played great against Real: Dušan Tadić
“What a performance”: Players want Hero cards
This is how the FIFA community reacts: Not only in real football, but also in the FIFA 19 community, the “Miracle of Madrid” was celebrated. Because not only in the Champions League mode does the European competition play a role: In Ultimate Team, Ajax players are currently receiving a lot of attention.
For fun, “End of an Era” cards for the Real players are being suggested in the FIFA subreddit, while for match winner Tadic, pretty much every kind of special card is being proposed. A Reddit thread voted by over 2400 users simply calls for: “Dear EA, please give the entire Ajax team Hero cards.”
This is how Hero cards for Tagliafico and Tadić could look
These are Hero cards: Such cards do exist in FIFA 19. The purple Hero cards are awarded only to players who have achieved extraordinary performances, such as winning a decisive match almost single-handedly. There are not many of them in FIFA 19 yet.
Ajax prices explode: Anyone who bet on the underdog to win and stocked up on Ajax players before the match must have made a nice profit. The Champions League victory was immediately noticeable on the transfer market.
For example, Tadić’s UCL card, whose price started to climb during the match. From a value of around 2,800 coins, the card jumped to 7,500 – and it is still trending upward.
Tagliafico sold out: Even Tadić’s teammates saw their price ceilings suddenly drop. Especially the special cards that are currently available for Ajax became increasingly popular. However, Tagliafico’s RTTF card overshadows all others.
The value of this card increases with each round Ajax progresses in the Champions League. Since the Dutch were close to elimination against Real, the RTTF card was relatively cheap to obtain. Then the victory came, and the price exploded:
“Tagliafico bought me Ronaldo”: A player on Reddit reports: “I had a million and thought ‘screw it’ and spent everything on Tagliafico, who just cost 30,000 coins. I made 600,000 coins in 3 minutes.”
Shortly after, the same player noted: “Damn, Tagliafico is extinct. I could have made another 200,000 if I had waited five more minutes. Anyway, I’m still happy.” And indeed: The RTTF card is currently not available on the transfer market anymore. Some players evidently still trust Ajax to take the next step.
Investing has definitely paid off. Will a Champions League miracle also transfer to FIFA 19 next week? Feel free to try out investments in TOTW until then:
The creators of The Division 2 have released a pseudo-state of emergency statement from Mexico via Twitter. A reference to current political events?
This is the reference to political events: The official Twitter account of The Division 2 released a “press release” yesterday declaring a state of emergency in Mexico. The country aims to respond to the critical situation in the USA.
Recommended editorial content

The statement mentions that Mexico will immediately begin construction of a wall. The borders to the USA are closed. The aim is to minimize the risk of infected individuals fleeing to Mexico. Thus, the government attempts to protect the people in Mexico.
The Mexican government has deployed troops to the border to prevent the entry of U.S. citizens with a zero-tolerance mandate.
Mexican officials are in contact with Division agents who are relentlessly fighting for the interests of the citizens of the United States, Washington D.C., and democracy, but they have lost faith and trust in the U.S. government. Until that changes, the borders remain closed.
Chaos reigns in The Division 2
Why are the developers tweeting this? This is a marketing gag for The Division 2.
In the shared-world shooter, which releases on March 15, Division agents must restore law and order in Washington D.C. After a virus outbreak that originated in New York, the country descended into chaos. Politics collapsed, wicked factions seized power, and only the Division unit remains to protect the civilian population.
With the now released state of emergency declaration, the developers emphasize how dramatic the setting in The Division 2 will be. Mexico is isolating itself, the USA is falling apart. The Division agents are the last hope.
Why is this so controversial? Anyone who has been following U.S. politics in recent weeks and months will have noticed that a wall between Mexico and the USA is a big, very real topic. However, in real politics, it is not Mexico, but the USA, under President Trump, that wants to build a wall to stop migrants from the south.
Is there more to it than PR? Some players view The Division 2’s reversal of roles between the two parties—allowing Mexico to build a wall to protect itself from refugees coming from the USA—as political satire.
There is discussion and a lack of consensus on reddit about whether this is amusing, too political, or simply a questionable PR stunt meant to provoke. An admin points out in the reddit forum that the post is alarmingly close to satire, but makes sense in the context of the game’s story.
Ubisoft’s stance on political themes in games: Ubisoft has previously stated that they do not want to address political themes in The Division 2. The story in the game is fictional. It is pure fiction. Additionally, politics is bad for business, so they will not adopt a political stance.
Accordingly, this marketing gag, which quite clearly resembles real-world events, comes as a surprise.
In World of Warcraft, two new allied races are coming soon. With Patch 8.1.5, the Zandalari trolls will join the Horde and the Kul Tiran will join the Alliance. However, you will first need to gain the appropriate reputation. You are currently farming that faster.
How do I gain reputation faster? At the moment, there are several events that increase your earned reputation. Since the last server restart, the weekly world quest event has been active, granting you 50% more reputation from world quests.
Additionally, it is currently the Darkmoon Faire. Anyone who rides the carousel at the fair will receive a buff that increases earned reputation by an additional 10% for up to 60 minutes. Alternatively, you can buy and wear Darkmoon hats.
In addition, there are contracts that you can receive from scribes. These grant you a small reputation boost with the chosen faction for completing any world quest.
All these buffs can stack, except for the “Yay!” buff and the Darkmoon hat, of which only one can be active at a time.
If you want to earn reputation quickly, you should hurry.
Why do I need to hurry? The Darkmoon Faire is only available until Saturday, March 9th. So you have the chance to gain a lot of reputation only until then.
The world quest event will not end until March 13th. Since Patch 8.1.5 will also be released on March 13th, this is not a problem. However, it also means that you have only a few days left to gather the required reputation.
Patch 8.1.5 will likely advance the story about Azshara.
You need these factions for the new allied races: If you want to unlock the Zandalari trolls or the Kul Tiran, you must have exalted reputation with certain factions:
For the Kul Tiran, you need reputation with the Proudmoore Admiralty (Tiragarde Sound)
For the Zandalari trolls, you need reputation with the Zandalari Empire (Zuldazar)
Once you have the required reputation, you only need to fulfill the other requirements in Patch 8.1.5.
If you want to try both races now, you can play them on the PTR. Patch 8.1.5 is currently being tested there.
A Zandalari Druid.
Bonus also useful for old allied races
If you started later or haven’t been interested so far, you might also be missing the first allied races that were newly added with Battle for Azeroth: Dark Iron Dwarves (Alliance) and Mag’har Orcs (Horde).
For both races, you also need reputation, which you can gain faster with the current events. You need reputation with your respective war faction, the 7th Legion for the Alliance or the Honorbound for the Horde.
The creators of Black Desert, Pearl Abyss, have announced that they are developing a new MMORPG. It is codenamed “Project V” and is set to come with a new engine.It is intended to be a game for the whole family.
What’s behind Project V: Pearl Abyss announced “Project V” a few hours ago.
It is meant to be a “lovable family MMORPG that everyone can enjoy together. It will be a “casual MMORPG”. This is evident from a Facebook post by Pearl Abyss.
At the moment, we do not know when it will be released, for which platforms it will be available, and how it will look in terms of a port to the West:
An image shows a girl sitting alone on a pole with a skateboard and a type of vacuum cleaner
In a reflection behind her, however, it can be seen that other animal and plant beings have also taken a seat on the pole with her
In the background of the image, futuristic skyscrapers can be seen.
Perhaps this is a nod to an “Augmented Reality” or “Virtual Reality” setting.
What’s special about it: As MMOCulture reports, Project V uses a completely new game engine that has been specifically created for new games.
It does not use the engine from Black Desert, as that is already 9 years old. The new engine is intended to propel Pearl Abyss forward and enable them to compete with AAA titles globally.
A new bug has been discovered in Destiny 2 that significantly buffs equipped weapons. What’s going on with this?
What kind of bug is this? The bug is triggered by the exotic fusion rifle “One Thousand Voices”. This is an Exotic that rarely drops from the boss in the “Last Wish” raid as a random drop.
With the Season 6 update, One Thousand Voices was buffed by +25% damage in PvE.
However, it seems Bungie made a mistake. Because when you equip One Thousand Voices, suddenly all other weapons are also increased by +25% PvE damage.
No effect on PvP
How the bug was discovered: Professional streamer Gladd recently shared a video on Twitter showcasing this bug. We embed the video here:

He writes that equipping 1000 Voices buffs all equipped weapons by 25%. That is not okay.
He provides proof in the video. He compares the damage output of a hand cannon before and after equipping One Thousand Voices. The result clearly shows that the hand cannon also experiences a significant damage buff (from 746 to 918 precision damage).
Is the bug only in PvE? After further testing, Gladd confirms that the buff does not affect PvP. Other users report that the bug is also active in Gambit, but only applies to PvE enemies.
What does Bungie say about it? We currently do not have an official statement from Bungie regarding this. However, a fix will likely be necessary sooner rather than later. After all, this is a game bug that gives advantages in the PvEvP mode Gambit and is triggered solely by equipping a weapon. Multiple guardians will benefit from it without even knowing.
Therefore, there will certainly be no penalties for exploiting the bug.
Until the bug is fixed, PvE will be 25% easier for you – as long as you own One Thousand Voices.
Under the title Z1 Battle Royale, NantG launched a new version of the online shooter H1Z1: King of the Kill. The new developer is also relying on features that had actually been removed from the game to bring fans back.
H1Z1 is back!
What is Z1 Battle Royale? Essentially, it is the online shooter H1Z1: King of the Kill, which aims to revive the old gaming experience under a new name.
What is different? Besides the name, a new developer, NantG, is now in charge. This developer wants to return to the game’s glory days to lead it into the future. The title is also supposed to visually remind players of the past.
That’s why it’s a “nostalgic” gaming experience:Z1 Battle Royale aims to bring the game back to the point when it had many players. In 2017, with the rise of PUBG, H1Z1 started to decline.
There are some changes:
When players log in, they see the old loading screen.
The UI has been modified to look more like it did in the past.
The team brought back “old” animations, textures, and lighting effects and relies on game mechanics, such as with vehicles, that had actually long been changed.
Old weapon stats, bullet speed, and even the old map are also making a comeback.
There are no more “Points of Interest.”
Nostalgia adorned with innovations
What’s new? The team not only returned to some elements from the past but also introduced new features:
You now complete quests in the game world.
You now search the field for fragments that grant you credits.
You face daily challenges.
Season 3 and the Ranked Pro mode are live.
You can earn plenty of interesting rewards.
How is the new version received? Discussions about the new version are taking place on Reddit. Many express their enthusiasm as it nearly brings back the gameplay feel from about two years ago. However, the new version is struggling with some technical issues, resulting in occasional crashes.
Some fans feel that the changes are not far enough and wish for Z1 Battle Royale to play just like H1Z1: King of the Kill did in 2016.
According to Steamcharts, a lot of players are checking out the new version. At its peak, over 12,700 players were online simultaneously. Whether this can be maintained will be shown in the coming weeks. However, interest seems to be present.
While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.
[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]
Comment by Sunface
Even though the problems with Anthem may not bother everyone equally, many of you hope that improvements will come over time. Most see something special in Anthem and believe that it can become really good if Bioware stays committed.
The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

The story divides the MeinMMO readers
Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.
[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis
MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.
The small story snippets discovered by the freelancers were rather praised. They provided entertainment value and elicited some chuckles. These include funny radio broadcasts that gave more insight into the characters and the world or quirky adventures like those of detective Hoppel.
Dominion are the main antagonists of Anthem
The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:
[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]
He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.
Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.
For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.
It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.

One of the 3 quest NPCs for side missions: Sentinel Brin – she really hates Skar
The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement
In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.
MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test
The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.
While there were outliers both upwards and downwards, the average rating is 7.17 out of a maximum of 10 points. That would be 72% for Anthem in the MeinMMO reader test in the usual 100-point scoring format.
On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

Is Anthem worth it for me?
Anthem is worth it for you if:
You enjoy exploring beautiful and atmospheric worlds in games.
You have always wanted to feel like Iron Man.
You like collecting lore snippets scattered throughout the world that provide additional info about the story.
You tend to take your time in games and explore everything thoroughly.
You find the constant grind for new upgrades satisfying.
Anthem is not for you if:
You place a lot of value on getting to the endgame quickly and seeing a lot of content there.
You are looking for PvP content.
You want a story depth like in other BioWare titles.
You have absolutely no patience with bugs and performance issues.
You expect a lot of variety in mission and quest design.
While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.
[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]

The story divides the MeinMMO readers
Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.
[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis
MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.
The small story snippets discovered by the freelancers were rather praised. They provided entertainment value and elicited some chuckles. These include funny radio broadcasts that gave more insight into the characters and the world or quirky adventures like those of detective Hoppel.
Dominion are the main antagonists of Anthem
The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:
[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]
He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.
Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.
For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.
It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.

The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement
In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.
MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test
The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.
While there were outliers both upwards and downwards, the average rating is 7.17 out of a maximum of 10 points. That would be 72% for Anthem in the MeinMMO reader test in the usual 100-point scoring format.
On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

One of the 3 quest NPCs for side missions: Sentinel Brin – she really hates Skar
The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement
In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.
MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test
The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.
While there were outliers both upwards and downwards, the average rating is 7.17 out of a maximum of 10 points. That would be 72% for Anthem in the MeinMMO reader test in the usual 100-point scoring format.
On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.
While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.
[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]
Comment by Sunface
Even though the problems with Anthem may not bother everyone equally, many of you hope that improvements will come over time. Most see something special in Anthem and believe that it can become really good if Bioware stays committed.
The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

Is Anthem worth it for me?
Anthem is worth it for you if:
You enjoy exploring beautiful and atmospheric worlds in games.
You have always wanted to feel like Iron Man.
You like collecting lore snippets scattered throughout the world that provide additional info about the story.
You tend to take your time in games and explore everything thoroughly.
You find the constant grind for new upgrades satisfying.
Anthem is not for you if:
You place a lot of value on getting to the endgame quickly and seeing a lot of content there.
You are looking for PvP content.
You want a story depth like in other BioWare titles.
You have absolutely no patience with bugs and performance issues.
You expect a lot of variety in mission and quest design.

The story divides the MeinMMO readers
Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.
[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis
MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.
The small story snippets discovered by the freelancers were rather praised. They provided entertainment value and elicited some chuckles. These include funny radio broadcasts that gave more insight into the characters and the world or quirky adventures like those of detective Hoppel.
Dominion are the main antagonists of Anthem
The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:
[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]
He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.
Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.
For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.

[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]
Comment by Sunface
Even though the problems with Anthem may not bother everyone equally, many of you hope that improvements will come over time. Most see something special in Anthem and believe that it can become really good if Bioware stays committed.
The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.
User review by Christoph Schmeling
Is Anthem worth it for me?
Anthem is worth it for you if:
You enjoy exploring beautiful and atmospheric worlds in games.
You have always wanted to feel like Iron Man.
You like collecting lore snippets scattered throughout the world that provide additional info about the story.
You tend to take your time in games and explore everything thoroughly.
You find the constant grind for new upgrades satisfying.
Anthem is not for you if:
You place a lot of value on getting to the endgame quickly and seeing a lot of content there.
You are looking for PvP content.
You want a story depth like in other BioWare titles.
You have absolutely no patience with bugs and performance issues.
You expect a lot of variety in mission and quest design.
The story divides the MeinMMO readers
Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.
[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis
MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.
The small story snippets discovered by the freelancers were rather praised. They provided entertainment value and elicited some chuckles. These include funny radio broadcasts that gave more insight into the characters and the world or quirky adventures like those of detective Hoppel.
Dominion are the main antagonists of Anthem
The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:
[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]
He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.
Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.
For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.
It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.

One of the 3 quest NPCs for side missions: Sentinel Brin – she really hates Skar
The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement
In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.
MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test
The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.
While there were outliers both upwards and downwards, the average rating is 7.17 out of a maximum of 10 points. That would be 72% for Anthem in the MeinMMO reader test in the usual 100-point scoring format.
On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

We wanted to know your opinion on Anthem and you responded: Here’s how the readers of MeinMMO rate the online RPG Anthem (PC, PS4, Xbox One) in the review.
Visually a beautiful game world: One of the points that many of you mentioned right at the beginning of your comments was the world of Anthem.
The world is, according to user comments, very beautiful to look at. The design of the world of Anthem is also praised: it has a mysterious flair and is fun to explore.
[…] Anthem already offers an appealing, pretty world. The graphics are obviously stunning and even run smoothly on my rather old machine. […]
Comment by Kristian Steiffen
Sunrise in Anthem
The open world needs more content: However, you wish for more variety in this beautiful world. For some MeinMMO readers, there isn’t enough happening in the open world.
Open world events are rare and are not marked on the map. There could also be more wild animals and monsters that would give the world more life.
[…] The variety of world events is a bit scant and repeats quickly. Kill this, defend that, deliver part A to B. […]
Comment by Pacman
The Javelins are the stars of Anthem
That’s why you liked the Javelins: Another feature of Anthem that most readers agreed on in the comments is the Javelins—the four classes of the game.
This core aspect of Anthem and the gameplay elements associated with it convinced many of you.
[…] The four different Javelins play very differently, and that you don’t have to play everything from scratch for each Javelin is a very good idea. […]
Comment by TomRobJonsen
The Javelins all play differently according to your comments and have their strengths, even if the balance is not yet 100%. The four different mechs cover most playstyles with their builds, and there’s something for almost everyone.
Ranger, Storm, Colossus, and Interceptor Javelin
Abilities convey a feeling of strength: The various skills of the Javelin are also convincing. They feel powerful according to reader comments, and the combo system is especially fun in teams with friends.
Even readers who ultimately rated Anthem negatively found the system good.
[…] When I hover over the battlefield, freeze a whole company of enemies, and my buddy smashes down from above with his Colossus, we cheer like little kids when the ice cream truck comes. […]
Comment by Sleeping-Ex
Flying is the most popular feature: Special mention among the features goes to flying. Many of you considered this one of the best features of the Javelins.
Storm Javelin rains death and destruction from the sky
A large portion of readers in the comments praised the wonderful feeling that flying provides and the intuitive control of the Javelins in flight.
[…] Flying is incredible; it’s fun to be able to escape from dangerous situations or simply explore the world. […]
Comment by ChrizQ
Some also expressed slight frustration that flying is time-limited and that due to overheating, you either have to find a waterfall or land.
Gostha said: “The only thing that brings Anthem down for me is the nice weather in the game! I can’t fly for long! Bring on the rain!”
Explore the world from the air
The loading screen of terrible infinity and other bugs
This is what you criticized about the performance: One of the main criticisms of Anthem were performance issues, as well as bugs many of you encountered.
Especially the many and seemingly endless loading screens really annoyed the readers of MeinMMO.
[…] Loading times are pure horror. Because if you don’t catch up with your team in time, you land back on the loading screen […]
Long loading screens were a criticism point for many testers.
Your comments on the bugs were rather mixed. While most readers found them annoying, rather few believed they would completely ruin the fun. Some of the bugs listed included:
Sound bug that causes loss of audio in the game and can only be fixed by restarting.
Connection drops during missions that sometimes lead to loss of loot.
Bug that makes entering the Javelins impossible.
Quest and mission progress sometimes does not update.
In general, you were quite unanimous in the comments that the bugs and performance issues are a problem, but they will still be fixed over time.
An Interceptor Javelin that could equip armor parts of a Colossus due to a bug
Monotonous tasks and lack of endgame
The most criticism was received for the mission and quest design, as well as the endgame of Anthem.
This is what you criticized about the missions: According to the MeinMMO readership, the missions and quests are designed to be far too monotonous. Just like with the world events, more variety was wished for here.
[…] The missions are always of the sort to first go to point A, then to point B, and then to point C. […]
Comment by KronosX2
And many other readers also found that there is room for improvement.
These are the problems with the endgame: The endgame of Anthem is also one of the features that received a lot of criticism.
Many of you felt that the multiple difficulty levels do not compensate for the fact that the missions are monotonous, and there are only three Strongholds.
[…] I think there are too few Strongholds; 3 is really scant, it should already be at least double that. […]
Comment by Kendrick Young
But the lack of variety among enemies was also criticized, and you requested a change in the comments on that point.
[…] Bosses have no mechanics and are just cookie-cutter bullet sponges. Hardly any variety among enemy types, as you feel like you only fight against one of the 3 factions 90% of the time. […]
Comment by LittleEllie
Another problem was the hit feedback during fights. Especially on higher difficulty levels, enemies, like snipers, are often able to send a Javelin to the junkyard with just a few shots.
Titans are among the more common boss enemies in Anthem
Accordingly, it was really frustrating for some of you that it was difficult to see where you were being shot from due to the lack of hit feedback.
[…] I never know where I am being shot or hit from, and some of those melee fighters or snipers can hit you hard to 5%. […]
Comment by ConsoleCowboy
Bosses are often described as challenging, but deep mechanics are missed. The Javelins, on the other hand, are currently the key to the complex, varied gameplay:
I particularly noticed the parallels to other MMORPGs and role-playing games here. The use of the specific abilities of individual Javelins and the resulting synergies are key to completing activities at the highest difficulty levels.
At first, I triggered combos with my Storm myself, rarely paid attention to my teammates, and hardly communicated with them. By now, my build consists solely of weapons and abilities that inflict various status effects on enemies to prepare combos for the other Javelins.
User review by Christoph Schmeling
This is what you say about the loot: Your opinions on the loot in Anthem were rather divided. What was predominantly rated well:
The random rolls on gear, which motivate the grind for better items.
The various abilities and components that can greatly influence and change builds.
The recent adjustments moved in the right direction.
But there were also negative points you mentioned:
The inscriptions on the items are sometimes totally nonsensical and are poorly explained.
Effort and reward for the higher difficulties of the Stronghold don’t pay off, especially for activities from Grandmaster 2.
Normal and legendary or masterwork weapons look the same; there is no variety in weapon design.
The absence of rerolls.

In Apex Legends there are many ways to equip yourself. It is important to know exactly what you are looking for. We present you our weapon combos for battle royale.
If you want to achieve victory in Apex Legends, you should be well-informed. It is particularly important to know which weapon is useful in which situation. Naturally, the speed at which you can access the respective weapons also plays a role.
Based on personal experience in the game and assessments from streamers and professionals, we have compiled a list of combinations for you.
[toc]
Wingman/Peacekeeper, the Storm Assault
What kind of combination is this? The combination of the Wingman pistol and the Peacekeeper shotgun is often used by streamers, even though at least the shotgun has caused frustration. It combines a lot of firepower but requires precise aiming from the shooter.
In what situation is it useful? Both weapons are most effective at short and mid-short distances. They are particularly sensible when you play aggressively and want to pressure the opponents. Use them in offensive setups with good attack potential.
The Peacekeeper.
These are the advantages:
both weapons can use a Threat Detector that lets you see opponents through smoke
enormous damage can take down opponents in just a few shots
These are the disadvantages:
if you don’t aim precisely, you quickly lose an encounter due to the required closeness to the opponent
for maximum effectiveness you need the Hop-Ups Precision Choke and Skullpiercer
Alternatives: EVA-8 or R-99 instead of the Peacekeeper
The Wingman.
Longbow/Wingman, for Snipers
What kind of combination is this? The combination of the Longbow sniper rifle and the Wingman pistol covers both long distances and close combat. Additionally, it only requires one type of ammunition. If you enjoy playing as a scout and sniper, this combination is ideal.
In what situation is it useful? The combination is especially suitable for mid-game and for situations where you have a good overview from elevated positions. With the Longbow, you can pick off unprotected opponents. The Wingman, which is also ranked high in our tier list, provides cover when you are ambushed.
The Longbow, a heavy sniper rifle.
These are the advantages:
low ammunition consumption, leaving more space for grenades and healing
ability to take down well-armored opponents effectively
good overview and scouting
These are the disadvantages:
you need two Skullpiercers for maximum effectiveness
both weapons are slow. If you are overrun, you have little chance
Alternatives: EVA-8 or Peacekeeper instead of Wingman, Triple Take with Precision Choke instead of Longbow
What kind of combination is this? This combination consists of the light machine gun Spitfire and the automatic shotgun EVA-8. Although the EVA-8 is often looked down upon, it ranks high on the tier list of top player Dizzy.
In what situation is it useful? Both weapons are well-suited to cover opponents and areas with bullets and shrapnel. You can suppress entire squads or provide fire support for friends.
This is the Spitfire
These are the advantages:
high damage, especially in confined spaces and at close range
large magazines, requiring less frequent reloads in combat
These are the disadvantages:
both weapons consume a lot of ammunition, limiting your inventory space
not suitable for fights beyond medium range
Alternatives: Peacekeeper instead of EVA-8, Devotion with Turbocharger instead of Spitfire
The Devotion is rarely used.
Scout/R-301, the Commando Soldier
What kind of combination is this? The choice of R-301 and Scout is an “all-rounder” choice. The range of both weapons complements each other at all distances, so you will always be at least “good”.
In what situation is it useful? This loadout is suitable for pretty much any situation. You have the right answer for every playstyle and a counter for the opponent at hand.
The R-301 Carbine with 2 firing modes.
These are the advantages:
consistent damage at all distances
high customizability through various attachments
no hop-ups required
These are the disadvantages:
only one ammunition type. If you run out of light ammunition, you have a problem
no weapon is “outstanding” in its category. The combination only becomes stronger with your skill
Alternatives: Hemlok or Flatline instead of R-301
Rarely used: The Hemlok.
R-99/Wingman, the Close Combat Massacre
What kind of combination is this? With the combination of Wingman and R-99, you should play when you want to cause a ruckus. No matter who gets too close, they will regret it and either die or flee.
In what situation is it useful? For any encounter at close range, especially for house battles, like in Skull Town or the Bunker. Here, you can really heat things up for the opponents.
The submachine gun R-99.
These are the advantages:
enormous damage output at close range. The firing rate of the R-99 also helps to drive opponents back
both weapons are quickly reloadable, which is very useful in close-range firefights
These are the disadvantages:
high ammunition consumption of the R-99
hardly effective outside close combat
Alternatives: Peacekeeper instead of Wingman, Alternator instead of R-99
A good alternative: the Alternator
General Tips
When playing, you should pay attention to choosing weapons that suit you. Even the best weapon will not win you the game if you cannot handle it.
Conversely, seemingly weak weapons can become lethal in the right hands. The right movement is also important. With our tips, you can move better.
Our combinations are only a guideline and tips for different playstyles. You should also consider that you may be better or worse suited to certain tactics due to the abilities of various legends.

The next patch on March 12th brings some important changes to Anthem.
These are the highlights from the patch on March 12th
Changes will be made: Only some of the upcoming changes were mentioned in the live stream. Additionally, the developers answered some questions from the community. You can find a summary of the stream here in the Anthem subreddit as well as as VoD on Twitch.
Bugs
Many crashes on Xbox One, PS4, and PC are said to be fixed
Work is still being done on: The team continues to review community feedback. Further recurring events, such as “Outlaw Outrage” or “Giant Task”, are in planning. There is also talk of a statistics page.
Work is still ongoing on a major bug: The glitch of the health display, where the Javelin suddenly has less health than it should, has not yet been resolved.
More content is set to be added to Anthem in March, as already announced in the roadmap. The developers are working to have the “Elysian Stronghold Caches” in the game by the end of March.
In Fortnite there is currently a bug that causes players to die instantly at a certain location. Instead of getting upset about it, players actually love this glitch.
Although Epic has already confirmed this as a bug, many players celebrate this glitch. The topic has gained a lot of traction on Reddit, and fans want to keep the bug.
This is why the bug is so loved
This is what’s behind it: Fortnite is affectionately referred to as “Fork Knife” by some players. This joke plays well with Epic, who has already included a truck in the game that says “Fork Knife” on it.
The Fork Knife truck in the game
That is why the knife and fork were also engraved into the ground at Fatal Fields. The fact that a glitch occurs exactly at this spot, which was originally meant as a joke, delights many players.
This is what was initially thought: After the error became known, many players considered it a funny Easter egg. They thought Epic had taken revenge on players for constantly referring to the game as “Fork Knife.” At least, that is what some fans suspected.
There was clarification: Epic weighed in on the topic on Twitter and referred to the issue as a bug. They aim to fix it as soon as possible.
This is what Epic writes about the bug.
This is what players love about the bug: On Twitter, Epic was repeatedly asked after their tweet if they could keep the bug. After all, it fits so well with the story of “Fork Knife.”
There were also other reasons for this. For example, “Srcheeto” wrote: “Do not fix the bug. It’s a knife, and that’s just dangerous!”
Another user writes: “Don’t mess with the Fork Knife! Lmao”
Also, on Reddit , the topic is being discussed. A user writes there: “Haven’t your parents taught you not to play with knives?”
What do you think of the bug? Annoying, or do you find it funny too?
In Destiny 2, the new season changes a lot, but nothing about the vendors in the Tower. There was no vendor reset, which leaves many armor sets useless and the loot pool slim. This frustrates some Guardians.
This is the new hot topic on Reddit: Yesterday, a topic heated up on Reddit about Destiny.
The thread garnered over 7300 upvotes and 857 comments in a short time. This clearly frustrates many.
The accusation: “Bungie wastes creative resources designing legendary ships, ghosts, and sparrows to inflate the loot pool of the Eververse – but this is already the second season without a vendor reset.”
This means all NPCs in the Tower are useless, except to accept bounties, as stated on Reddit.
The 4 Gambit Prime sets in Destiny 2
Loot shooter without new loot
The problem in detail: Generally, players want more loot and variety in Destiny 2, even with the “regular equipment.”
Some Guardians feel that Bungie neglects this aspect of the game:
There are hardly any new weapons to earn.
The only “non-Eververse” and “non-event” set of armor is the 4 new Gambit Prime sets.
Bungie probably expects players to farm the same armor for the 12th time.
Meanwhile, 20 armor sets are useless, and there has been no vendor reset since Forsaken (via reddit). Many armors have been neglected and are currently obsolete, like the “flawless Trials Armor”
Tess Everis, she is the villain again
In contrast, Bungie puts too much energy into the Eververse because it is a constant source of income. This, however, also frustrates people:
Ships and sparrows are useless there and just reskins, and people won’t spend money on that.
Generally, some Guardians suspect Bungie of making the standard armors look “bad and rusty” while making the Eververse armors look “great and shiny.”
What players wish for: A “vendor reset,” as it’s called in Destiny, is actually a “loot exchange.”
Players won’t use their old armors and standard weapons anymore but new ones:
there should be new sets and weapons for activities in the Crucible, in Gambit, in PvE, and in other areas
and also a batch of “newly designed weapons”
That used to happen from time to time in Destiny when a new DLC also brought a “vendor reset” and the countless legendary items in the game were swapped for “new” ones.
This is an important thing for many players who expect a “loot shooter” to regularly provide new loot. They want new outfits for their Guardians, weapons that feel a little different, simply variety in their daily routine.
Harvester in Gambit Prime
Mini-DLCs are tightly packed
This is what it’s about: The three Year 2 expansions of Destiny 2 that are tied to the Annual Pass focus on new features and activities.
They expand the game but do not offer this “loot exchange” anymore, thus not renewing Destiny 2.
The major things of “Season of the Drifter” are clear:
Many players find this too “tightly packed” and would actually prefer a “full expansion” that overhauls all parts of the game and provides them with new content.
Guardian in Gambit Prime
The Eververse is not the problem
In general, there is dissatisfaction with Bungie’s development pace: Destiny 2 is only renewed once a year in September, and the smaller expansions seemingly cannot achieve that according to Bungie’s current plan.
The Eververse is just a symbol of this frustration and a vent where the Guardians’ anger is released. It is not the actual reason for the anger. Guardians are frustrated that it is precisely the Eververse that is being “renewed” while other things are not.
Overall, a difficult situation for Bungie: The players’ expectations do not match what the DLCs of the Annual Pass want and can deliver.
Anarchy Online by Funcom is now 18 years old and has changed significantly during this time. A “Progression Server” has now been launched, allowing a fresh start and bringing players back to the beginning of the online game. However, there is a catch.
A Classic Returns to the Beginning
What is Anarchy Online? The science-fiction MMORPG from Funcom was launched in 2001 and transports you to the world of Rubi-Ka, where the substance Notum is fought over. You create a hero, which you can enhance through augmentations, and participate in the struggle for Notum through missions and PvP battles.
What does the Progression Server of Anarchy Online offer? Rubi-Ka 2019, also called RK2019, presents the game as it was 18 years ago.
You start without addons, with a low level cap and a fresh economy.
Expansions will be added over time, as well as a gradual increase of the level cap.
All characters must be recreated; it is not possible to transfer existing heroes.
There is a limited item store, which does not include all items from the regular shop.
The existing game code is used. This means that there is no reset of systems such as damage control, fall damage, XP loss, improvement point menu (IP menu), or PvP to an older version.
How do you participate? You need to subscribe to the RK2019 server, which costs about 15 dollars per month. You can only play for free on the existing worlds.
What is special about this server? According to Funcom, RK2019 will only be open for one year – this plan may change, however. If you want to participate, you should hurry. Once RK2019 is shut down, your characters will be lost. They will not be transferred to the regular servers.
How are players reacting to RK2019?Anarchy Online is a special game for many MMORPG veterans. Not only did it represent an entry point into the genre for many, it also distinguished itself from competitors through its science-fiction setting and systems like augmentations. Accordingly, early fans are particularly enthusiastic.
However, there is also criticism. The subscription is about 15 dollars, which many feel is too high for a game that is 18 years old. Furthermore, there is confusion over the fact that the classic server is set to shut down after one year and that there is no option to transfer characters afterwards.
rainghost says on Reddit: “I was interested, but it looks like the server is only supposed to run for a year and then be shut down. After the shutdown, characters cannot be transferred to the live server and will disappear forever. That sounds really dumb to me.”
When does the new server start? The Progression Server for Anarchy Online has already started yesterday.
Since FIFA 14, the FUT birthday has been celebrated in Ultimate Team, getting bigger and with more content each year. Therefore, this year, new special cards, special packs, gift sets, and thematic SBCs are also expected in FUT 19.
Official information is still pending. However, specific predictions can be made from the insights of previous years.
Before FUT Birthday, by the way, the Carnival in FUT 19 is celebrated. You can find out what to expect in the link.
Expected Release and Duration of the Event
When does it start? FIFA Ultimate Team was first released on March 19, 2009. Since then, the FUT Birthday event has always taken place annually in mid-March. Therefore, we expect a start on March 15.
How long will the event last? The event is expected to last a week, ending on March 22.
However, these timings are not yet confirmed.
The Possible Contents of the Event
What cards will be available? It is customary for EA to release a FUT Birthday Team. This team includes 23 players whose overall rating and stats are significantly improved. These players are usually fan favorites from past FUT installments.
During last year’s FUT Birthday event, some stars received special cards in unusual positions. For instance, David Alaba was available as a central midfielder and Gareth Bale as a left-back.
Will there be SBCs? We can definitely expect SBCs. Normally, there are numerous SBCs throughout the entire event. It is likely that more FUT Birthday cards will be added and can be unlocked through SBCs.
Instead, special cards of Irish players were released alongside the FUT Birthday event. These could be used in SBCs to unlock additional FUT Birthday cards. This could very well happen again this year.
How to Get the New Cards?
How to get the cards: The special cards can be obtained from packs during the duration of the event. The FUT Birthday special cards replace their normal versions. The odds of pulling these players do not change.
Additionally, there will be the opportunity to purchase the cards through the transfer market.
And certainly, there will be promo sets distributed throughout the event. Lightning Rounds are also to be expected.
FUT Birthday in FIFA 18: Contents from Last Year
The FUT Birthday Team 2018:Last year, there was a pretty strong team for the FUT Birthday. A whole lot of superstars were represented, including: Cristiano Ronaldo RF (95), Gareth Bale LV (90), Eden Hazard RF (92), and Marco Reus MS (90).

Later, 4 additional special cards were added as SBC rewards.
Additional FUT Birthday Special Cards in FIFA 18
SBCs of FUT Birthday 2018: The following SBCs were available for FUT Birthday:
FUT Birthday Player SBC – With the St. Patrick’s Day cards, the four additional Birthday players could be unlocked.
Daily Birthday Wish SBC: A new SBC each day for each FUT, starting with FUT 09 – featuring players from that year.
End of an Era SBC – Here, Kaká (92) could be unlocked.
Additionally, promo packs and Lightning Rounds were regularly found in the shop.
In Battlefield 5, players have been waiting for the Battle Royale mode Firestorm for a long time. However, it might be released soon if a hint in the game is to be believed.
When is the Battle Royale mode coming? According to the developers, Firestorm, the Battle Royale mode in Battlefield 5, was supposed to be released in spring 2019. That would be by May at the latest. However, the new mode might come in the near future.
After an update of the daily challenges, some players received the task “Play Firestorm and earn 500 points.” An impossible challenge, as the mode is not yet available in the game.
However, many fans now suspect that the challenge predicts the arrival of the mode very soon.
Announcement or Trolling?
It could very well be that the developers are almost finished and just need to unlock the assets for the mode. Perhaps the announcement of the challenges simply slipped out and came into the game earlier than planned.
On the other hand, some do not really trust this. It could just be a glitch and there are no plans to implement Firestorm into the game so soon. One fan even mentions trolling, as he also received the task and would really like to play the mode if it were possible.
The mode is initially typical Battle Royale, where you must survive longer than your enemies and be the last one standing. To keep the battle exciting, a ring of fire continuously shrinks the battlefield and gets tighter.
Overall, 64 players will compete solo or in teams of two or four players. A special feature is that Firestorm will offer both classes and vehicles like tanks.
In Destiny 2, we take a closer look at the new roles in Gambit Prime. Which role should I play, what perks do the armor sets provide, and which playstyles are favored?
Gambit Prime is a new Gambit mode that was introduced with the Season 6 of Destiny 2 and can be played by all Annual Pass holders.
Here’s why you should choose a role: There are four armor sets for Gambit Prime. These activate special perks when you have enough set pieces equipped. The perks give you significant advantages in Gambit Prime, so you should collect these sets. Each set favors one of four “roles” – but which one suits you?
This is the Reaper: When you equip the Reaper armor, you glow green in Gambit Prime. The main task of the Reaper is to quickly and effectively kill PvE enemies.
The perks of the Reaper set:
Weakens and marks high-ranking targets and Ultra enemies (the Primeval does not count), when you deal damage to them
Multikills generate special ammo for allies
Particles you generate stay longer. They do not disappear as quickly
Grenades charge faster when you kill powerful enemies
This playstyle is allowed by the Reaper: As a Reaper, you fight on the front lines. You quickly slash away enemies and leave a trail of particles for Collectors to deal with. The perks are designed for you to be able to kill quickly and also make short work of tough enemies.
Bring weapons that you are comfortable with and that can kill quickly. A weapon for close range should definitely be included. Also equip a strong grenade that deals good damage – as the Reaper, you have grenades more frequently than other Guardian roles.
The Reaper suits you if you are only focused on killing things. You don’t want to deal with the other mechanics in Gambit Prime? Then the Reaper is your choice. You leave the particles for the Collectors, you only take care of the PvE enemies.
Collector in Gambit Prime
The Collector and its Gambit Prime Set Perks
This is the Collector: The Collector glows a bright white when you equip its armor set. He is responsible for collecting particles and sending blockers.
The perks of the Collector set:
You drop particles when you die
Particles grant an overshield when you pick them up
You receive ammo when you deposit particles
You can send huge 20-particle blockers
This playstyle is allowed by the Collector: As a Collector, you should always stay near Reapers to pick up their particles. However, this doesn’t mean you just follow them around bored.
Grab a weapon for close range (e.g., a shotgun) and help the Reapers generate particles. You can also run offensively through enemies to collect particles that might otherwise disappear. Because you get an overshield for collecting particles, you can last longer. Also, it’s not too tragic if you die. You drop some of the collected particles that your teammates can pick up.
The Collector suits you if you enjoyed picking up particles that others generated in regular Gambit. If you used to be the “particle thief,” your services are now recognized. You can also be particularly nasty to enemies when you send a huge 20-particle blocker. Only Collectors can do that.
Guardian in Gambit Prime
The Guardian and its Gambit Prime Set Perks
This is the Guardian: The Guardian’s color is yellow. His main task is to protect the bank and the team.
The perks of the Guardian set:
Multikills generate a damage buff against Taken
The bank regenerates your health
You can mark invaders for allies
You empower allies in the Well of Light (that’s the sphere you stand in to deal damage against the Primeval)
This playstyle is allowed by the Guardian: Every team will be grateful to have a Guardian. You ensure that the bank is always clear of Taken and keep an eye on invaders, so other team members can safely carry out their tasks.
When you kill several enemies, you receive a damage buff against Taken – and also against the Primeval. With the fourth perk, you take on an important support role for your team in the Primeval fight. And since you are often near the bank, your health regenerates, making it difficult to bring you down.
For weapons, a close-range weapon is definitely suitable to quickly deal with blockers. Also, bring a long-range weapon to not only mark the invaders but also take them out.
The Guardian suits you if you enjoy taking an important support role. You might not be the big “star” who slays through enemies, dumps tons of particles into the bank, or heroically eliminates other Guardians. But you can provide the crucial advantages to secure the match win.
Invader in Gambit Prime
The Invader and its Gambit Prime Set Perks
This is the Invader: The last of the four Guardian roles shines in red. The Invader’s task is to hunt enemy Guardians in their arena and steal their particles.
The perks of the Invader set:
You generate ammo during the invasion
You have an improved invasion overshield
You receive bonus damage on Guardian kills
You can siphon particles from the enemy bank and lock the bank
This playstyle is allowed by the Invader: The Invader set helps you create more chaos as an Invader. Your playstyle should be aimed at always being ready for invasions and quickly eliminating PvP enemies. Since you can’t constantly invade the enemy arena, you should also help with collecting particles. Especially during the Primeval phase, it is your job to slow down the opposing team, defeat Guardians, and heal their Primeval.
Bring weapons that also work well in PvP. You can also equip weapons that have little ammo available, as you generate ammo during the invasion.
The Invader suits you if you are strong in PvP and enjoy annoying the opposing team. Invaders can be the heroes who destroy all enemy progress and give you a significant lead.
How to unlock Gambit Prime Set Perks
How to obtain armor sets: First, you need to collect Synths. These can be efficiently obtained by taking and completing daily bounties from the Drifter. There are Synths for each of the four roles.
If you want a Reaper armor piece, you need to activate a Reaper Synth in the synthesizer to generate a Reaper particle. You will then drop the Reaper particle into the bank that is located to your left at the beginning of each reckoning round. If you win the Reckoning match, you will receive a Gambit Prime armor piece.
How to unlock the perks: Each Gambit Prime armor piece gives you points. You can see the points total in the inventory overview:
You need 3 points, 6 points, 10 points, and 15 points to unlock the four perks on the armor sets.
You can see the perks in the character overview below the display for Mobility, Resilience, and Recovery as soon as you equip an armor piece:
The armor pieces you create at the beginning provide too few points to unlock all perks. You will need higher quality armor pieces, which will likely be unlocked with Reckoning levels 2 and 3.
You can also use Synths to increase the points for the perks for 30 minutes. This allows you to create hybrid builds that temporarily have all the armor set perks active.
The online game ARK: Survival Evolved has received an update after some time. With this, you get more options for building and the “Kibble” system for taming dinos has been revised – leading to heated discussions in the community.
What does the new update bring to the game? The Homestead-update mainly focuses on making it easier for players to build.
The placement of buildings has been improved.
You use new objects like additional walls, floors, ceilings, and more to create your dream building.
Wires and pipes can be flexibly placed, allowing for new electrical configurations.
Old buildings are available in visually new variants.
What is interesting about these improvements? The developers have relied on a mod from the community for the improvements. Large parts of “Structures Plus (S+)”-sponsored mod by Orionsun are used to enhance the building system. As a result, ARK players on consoles now also have the opportunity to use these features which were previously only available to the PC faction through the mod.
What else does the update bring? Homestead also revises the Kibble system through which you tame dinos in the game. Now you no longer need different food for each of the creatures, which could previously get a bit out of hand.
Instead, the dinos are divided into six categories and an egg from each category can be used for taming dinos that belong to that category.

How is the update received by players? The new Kibble system has caused some excitement among players. There is much discussion about it on Reddit.
Many find the new system a bit opaque and some miss setting up a “production chain” that was previously needed for taming.
Tankbot85 writes on Reddit: “I hate the new Kibble system. I loved creating Kibble chains. This destroys a big part of the PvE fun.”
Additionally, there are many reports of crashes since the last update and bugs are appearing, for example with the new Kibble system. There are also problems with the “Structures Plus (S+)”-system, which is generally well received.
This apparently does not seem to be compatible with the objects from the mod. However, the developers want to look into these issues.
A balance update in Apex Legends adjusts two of the community’s most popular weapons, the Wingman and the Peacekeeper. It has already been announced how the Legends will change at the start of Season 1.
When is the balance update coming? The patch has already been applied server-side and is active in Apex Legends. You do not need to download any updates for that.
What has changed with the weapons? On Reddit , the developers of Apex Legends explain that they currently do not want to change the meta too drastically. Nevertheless, they deemed it necessary to weaken two dominant weapons. What has changed is detailed in the patch notes.
The weapons in Apex Legends have been altered
Wingman
The rate of fire has been reduced from 3.1 to 2.6 shots per second
The headshot damage multiplier of the Skull Splitter attachment has been reduced from 2.5 to 2.25 (this only applies to the combination of this attachment with the Wingman. For the Longbow, it remains 2.5).
The spread when shooting from the hip has been increased and now recovers more slowly
Peacekeeper
The rate of fire of the Peacekeeper with the bolt extension has been reduced
Level 1 now only increases the rate of fire by 7.5% instead of 10%
Level 2 now only increases the rate of fire by 13% instead of 20%
Level 3 now only increases the rate of fire by 16% instead of 23%
Why are these changes being made? The developers want to ensure that the wielder of the Peacekeeper is more vulnerable between shots.
General weapon changes:
The Wingman and the Peacekeeper are now rarer to find
Energy weapons and energy ammunition are found more frequently.
Have Legends been changed? Yes, but only regarding crashes. Bugs causing disconnects with Caustic, Pathfinder, and Gibraltar have been fixed. Major balance changes to the Legends will happen at the start of Season 1.
How often do these balance updates happen? The developers want to conduct significant balance changes less frequently. This is to ensure that players do not have to read the patch notes every week to understand a new meta. “We are making less frequent, better-tested changes that have a strong impact on balance. This minimizes the time needed to master the game.”
What does the community say? Players seem satisfied with the Wingman nerfs. “As someone who plays the Wingman as a primary weapon: Thank you. The nerf is completely reasonable.” Additionally, one other player responded, “It’s absolutely reasonable. I agree.”
These character changes are planned for Season 1
In the patch notes, the developers also provide insight into how the game will change for Season 1, even though there is still no official start date for it.
Some of these legends will change slightly for Season 1
Caustic
Gas Traps – Cooldown reduced from 30 to 25 seconds
Gas Traps – Radius and trigger radius increased by about 10%
Gas Traps – The 1-second delay before the smoke deals damage to players will be removed
Pathfinder
Passive – The number of beacons on the map has been increased from 10 to 12
Lifeline
Care Package – The small chance of containing Level 4 armor or helmets has been removed
Wraith
Into the Void – Cooldown increased from 20 to 25 seconds
Bangalore
Passive (Tactical Sprint) – Movement speed bonus reduced from 40% to 30%
Note that these changes to the legends are not yet active in the game, but will become active with Season 1.
The developers are also addressing another problem:
Following the major crash issues of recent days, Bioware has now announced when they plan to fix the error in Anthem. The upcoming patch is expected to include several fixes for it.
In a live stream, some developers discussed the current problems with Anthem. One of the biggest and most discussed bugs is related to console crashes, primarily affecting the PS4.
They revealed when players can expect a fix for the problem and also talked about the allegedly damaged PS4 consoles. We summarize the information for you.
Patch to Fix PS4 Crashes
This is what Bioware says: The stream was mainly about which bugs the upcoming patch will fix. Besides a large number of fixes for other bugs and glitches, it will also tackle the crash issues.
EA has collected data for this and apparently identified several causes that will be resolved in the update. This is also confirmed by Bioware employee Chad Robertson on Twitter.
We have identified several causes for the “temp power-down” crashes reported by PS4 players. Fixes for the major problems are in the patch coming next week. If you experience a crash where the PS4 becomes unresponsive, you can manually turn it off and restart it – no risk of damage.
Robertson
When is the update expected to be released? Next week, on March 12, the update is scheduled to be released. It focuses primarily on technical issues, with no new content included.
No PS4 Was Destroyed
Consoles reportedly remained unharmed: Bioware has also emphasized that no console has been definitively destroyed due to the crashes. Robinson also stressed this on Twitter: “After some investigations, we have not found a single case where Anthem has destroyed a console.”
However, if someone has experienced something different, they should contact the technical support of EAHelp so that the issue can be investigated.
What was the problem, anyway? In recent days, several players have complained about errors that caused console crashes.
While only a few cases were reported on Xbox One, PS4 users were significantly more affected.
Over 1500 players contacted EA Support reporting such an issue. In such a crash, not only did the game close, but the entire console simply shut down as if the power was cut.
