Fortnite: Patch Notes for Update 8.00 show the highlights of Season 8

Schuhmann 28. February 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In Fortnite today the big update 8.00 is coming. This brings Season 8 to Fortnite. We take a look at the patch notes in English and see the first highlights.

Here’s the background: As we have long suspected, Season 8 in Fortnite is themed around pirates: A monstrous volcano has erupted.

The “Prisoner” has gained new power and has caused this volcano to erupt. Now Fortnite belongs to the ninjas and pirates.

The highlights of the patch notes for Fortnite Battle Royale

New weapon: The pirate cannon is new. It fires cannonballs and players. They then fly through objects and hit with a bang.

Anyone struck directly by the cannonball (or a fired player) takes 100 damage. In a small radius around the impact, there are another 50 damage points.

You can prepare the cannon, aim, and fire it.

These items have disappeared from Fortnite:

The snowman
The ice grenade
The airplanes
The shopping cart
And the all-terrain vehicles

They are disappearing from Fortnite. The airplanes

There’s less good news about this weapon: You will find blue, purple, and orange assault rifles less frequently – but more often green and gray ones.

This is how Fortnite changes supply drops: Supply drops are now displayed on the map.

This is how Fortnite changes traps: Using traps will be more convenient. If you want to place a trap on a ceiling or wall, the underlying structure will automatically be built for the trap.

Fortnite map with new locations, lava, and geysers

New locations on the map: There are apparently new places on the map called “Lazy Lagoon” and “Sunny Steps”.

And there is also a huge volcano that has appeared on the map.

This is changing in gameplay:

There are new “geysers” in the game that can catapult players and vehicles into the sky.
Additionally, there is lava that deals 1 damage per touch. The lava will also make players jump off the surface.

This is what Fortnite takes from Apex Legends: And Epic took another look at world markers. Fans had wished for Fortnite to orient itself towards Apex Legends.

Players can now also “ping” in Fortnite. The world markers are now visible in the world and have been refined.

Friends become even more important in Fortnite

This is how Fortnite strengthens groups: Players can enable in Season 8 that other group members can help them complete challenges. This applies to daily and weekly challenges.

However, this only counts for “real group members” – not for people who are filled in.

These are the highlights of the patch notes for Save the World

This is the most important change: In the PvE mode of Fortnite “Save the World,” Epic has already announced that they want to make the hero selection much more complex. This system comes with today’s patch.

In the future, all decisions should become more important:

The commander (the main hero) defines the abilities and grants benefits
Up to 5 “side heroes” are in the support team. Their stats contribute to strengthening the main hero
There are also “class benefits” and “team benefits”
Mythic heroes will also become “more special” and grant access to new unique advantages

This is behind it: These are additional RPG and collection elements for Fortnite: Save the World. Players should be motivated to find “rare and powerful” heroes that then offer special benefits and feel different.

New mission type: With “Beta Storm” missions come 10-minute missions that will likely run in horde mode and go a bit quicker. Normally, missions last about 20 minutes.

This is how the world changes: “Plankerton” has received a new visual update and gives players a “coastal biome” to explore.

We will be focusing all day on MeinMMO on the new changes in Fortnite.

A:IR – This is what makes the classes of the new MMORPG special

Andreas Bertits 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

There are MMORPGs that rely on traditional classes, and there are online role-playing games where you develop your hero freely based on skills. In the upcoming MMORPG A:IR – Ascent: Infinite Realms, the classes offer a unique feature.

What classes are there? In total, you can choose from five classes when creating your hero:

Warlord – This class fights at the front line and holds the enemies at bay with its untamed strength.
Assassin – This killer attacks from the shadows and causes devastating damage.
Elementalist – They master the power of the elements to tactically eliminate opponents.
Mystic – The healers support their group in battles.
Gunslinger – The ranged fighter is quick and keeps enemies at a distance.

ascent infinite realms warlord class — The Warlord is a class from the MMORPG A:IR and can be played in multiple ways.

What is special about these classes: While in many MMORPGs each class has a fixed role, you can play your hero in A:IR in multiple ways.

The Warlord, for example, is not defined as a tank but can also dive into the fray and deal significant damage.
The Mystic doesn’t have to be just the healer of the group but can also actively intervene in the events.
The Assassin fights from the shadows, but can also be deployed as a fast fighter at the front.

The developers of the MMORPG A:IR – Ascent Infinite Realm are currently still a bit tight-lipped about a detailed description of the classes and what exactly they can do. However, they want heroes to not be tied to a fixed play style but to be able to act flexibly. Moreover, each class can be male or female.

https://youtu.be/uvZo59uhz5E

An uncertain release

When will A:IR be released? Currently, it is not yet determined when we can play the MMORPG here in our country. A beta was planned for 2018 but had to be postponed. There is currently no date for when the testing phase will begin.

Apex Legends: Leak reveals all abilities of the new legend Octane

Benedict Grothaus 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The next playable legend of Apex Legends has been leaked. Apparently, Octane is waiting for us. However, his abilities are different than originally thought.

What can Octane? According to leaked files, the next hero is the already known Octane from previous leaks. His kit consists of the following three abilities:

“Swift Mend” (passive): Octane heals over time as long as he does not take damage.
“Adrenaline Junkie” (tactical): Octane moves 30% faster for 6 seconds. This costs 10% of his health. Octane cannot be slowed during this time.
“Launch Pad” (Ultimate): Octane deploys a jump pad that catapults players through the air.

The ability “Adrenaline Junkie” is the stimpack known from previous leaks. Contrary to previous assumptions, it provides a speed boost at the cost of health points, instead of healing himself or allies.

Where does the leak come from?

The image with Octane and his abilities was shown on reddit. Here, the user Mirage posted the above image without further details.

How reliable is the leak? The image likely comes from an Instagram page that has not yet been recognized for confirmed leaks on a larger scale. However, the image has appeared before on reddit under this account, and fans are a bit skeptical.

When will Octane be released? A release date has not been announced yet. However, it is likely that Octane will be the next legend if the image is real. He would presumably debut with the start of the first season of Apex Legends in March.

What does the community say about Octane?

The leak is already being discussed on reddit. The focus is more on Octane’s abilities than the legitimacy of the leak. Most fans already consider Octane’s abilities to be strong.

30% movement speed in combat is no joke. That will be strong and something Wraith can’t do.
T1_Thotseize on reddit

His ability to make himself faster at the cost of health should be balanced by his passive ability if he skillfully dodges bullets. Players compare this to Bangalore, who moves faster through her abilities when she is only being hit.

Opinions range from “overpowered” to “too weak.” There is also talk and jokes about his hitbox, which has been discussed recently. Most players are just looking forward to a new legend.

What do you think of Octane?

Another hero has also been leaked, along with abilities:

The Division 2 finally clarifies the question: Do you have to buy a large storage space?

Tom Rothstein 28. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

For months, agents have been wondering whether it is possible to purchase additional inventory space in The Division 2 with an expensive edition costing over 100 Euros. Massive clears this up now.

This raises the question: When all the contents of the various editions of The Division 2 were revealed in August 2018, the Ultimate Edition surprised everyone with a special bonus content. It includes the “Elite Agent Pack,” which mentions additional inventory space:

The Ultimate Edition costs a hefty 109.99 Euros, which is 50 Euros more than the Standard Edition and 10 Euros more than the Gold Edition, which also includes the Year 1 Pass. Otherwise, this Elite Agent Pack is only available in the Phoenix Shield Edition, which costs around 240 Euros.

This is what agents are discussing: Now the agents have been wondering for months whether the expensive Ultimate Edition will become a must-buy for those who do not want to struggle with a lack of inventory space. How many additional inventory slots do you get with it? How significant is this advantage?

In The Division 1, the too-small inventory was repeatedly criticized, which is why this is a sensitive topic in the community.

Massive is now answering these questions.

Ultimate Edition grants early access to larger inventory

This is how many inventory slots you start with in The Division 2: Most of you will begin your agent journey in D.C. with 50 inventory slots. You can expand your inventory through a total of three upgrades during gameplay.

The three upgrade levels increase inventory capacity by 20, 30, and 50 slots. By playing, you collect SHD Tech, which you need to unlock perks. You also use SHD Tech to activate the inventory upgrades.

This is the maximum inventory size: In total, you can earn 150 inventory slots at the launch of The Division 2. 150 is the maximum for everyone – even for Ultimate Edition owners.

This advantage comes with the Ultimate Edition: The third inventory upgrade, which grants you 50 additional slots, is only available in the endgame starting from character level 30. With the Ultimate Edition, you have this third upgrade right from the start.

This means you start your agent journey with not 50, but 100 inventory slots. Furthermore, Massive emphasizes that the third upgrade is more expensive than most perks, allowing you to save a lot of SHD with the Ultimate Edition and activate other perks faster.

ultimate edition 2 — This is what’s included in the Ultimate Edition

Do Ultimate Team owners now have “additional inventory slots”? At the start, they have 50 more inventory slots than the other agents. However, all players can earn these 50 inventory slots for free in the endgame. Therefore, the additional inventory slots are not exclusive to Ultimate Edition owners. Everyone can reach the same maximum.

All inventory expansions are free

This is what the developers say about further inventory upgrades: Massive states that further inventory capacities will not be monetized. If the available inventory size limits the gameplay experience, as there will be more and more new gear to earn during Year 1, appropriate measures will be taken. And these will be free for everyone.

However, cosmetic items will be monetized. You will find out how the microtransactions will look here:

Fortnite: First skins for Season 8 leaked – This is what they look like

Patrick Freese 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on February 28, Season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale begins. Skins have already been leaked that likely belong to the new Battle Pass.

Where does the leak come from? A player shared a photo of the new skins on Reddit. He took the photos from the dashboard of the Xbox version.

What does the leak show? It reveals 3 skins for Fortnite. In the foreground is a heroine with tattoos, in the background a masked ninja in a red outfit and, it seems, a dragon tattoo on the shoulder.

On the other side in the background, you can also see a kind of fighter wearing a tiger mask. Such a nod to a tiger was already made in Teaser 3 that Fortnite released prior to Season 8.

What are the names of the skins? Unfortunately, the names of the skins do not appear in the leak.

Do the skins fit the season theme? In Season 8, Fortnite seems to be all about pirates and water. This was hinted at with a pirate hook as a teaser and the words “X marks the spot”. So does the heroine in the foreground represent a pirate?

How do you unlock these skins? In new seasons of Fortnite, new skins are regularly activated in the game. These are sometimes unlocked through the Battle Pass. It is quite possible that one or more of the three shown characters can be earned through the Season 8 Battle Pass.

New balance patch for Overwatch nerfs many heroes

Cortyn 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The latest update from the Overwatch PTR changes 7 heroes from Blizzard’s shooter. We reveal what changes are coming.

Although Blizzard just launched the PTR with the new hero Baptiste a few days ago, many changes are coming for Overwatch. In a forum post, Geoff Goodman explained what balancing changes will soon be tested. Numerous heroes are affected. We show you which characters are getting nerfs and which are getting buffs.

Overwatch PTR changes from February 28, 2019

The following hero changes will be included in the next update to the Overwatch PTR.

Junkrat

Grenade Launcher: Impact damage has been increased from 40 to 60 damage.

Lúcio

Speed Song: The effect has been reduced from 30% to 20%.
Amp It Up: The effect of the Speed Song has been reduced from 70% to 50%.
Wall Ride: While Lúcio rides along a wall, his movement speed increases by 40% (previously 20%).

McCree

Deadeye: The ability now starts generating bonus damage after 1.5 seconds (previously after 2.5 seconds).

Reaper

Passive: Self-healing from damage dealt has been reduced from 50% to 40%.

Symmetra

Photon Projector: The maximum damage of the primary fire is now reached 20% sooner.

Zarya

Particle Cannon: The damage radius of the alternate fire has been reduced from 2-3 to 1-2 (based on current energy level).

Zenyatta

Orb of Discord: The effect has been reduced from 30% to 25%.
Orb of Destruction: Damage has been increased from 46 to 48.

The community says: The majority of the planned changes are well received by the community. Many see the speed reduction for Lúcio as justified, and reducing Reaper’s self-healing also finds great support. Some complain about the buff to Junkrat, who has a bad reputation among many players.

Overall, the changes are perceived positively, although some players find them a bit hasty. It would be better to wait and see how Baptiste changes the game and then make adjustments.

When are the changes coming? The latest PTR update is supposed to be released today (February 28, 2019), but it could be delayed by a day, in which case it will be released tomorrow.

What do you think of these buffs and nerfs? Are they good and justified?

By the way, there was recently a hidden buff for Mercy:

Anthem will improve the loot system soon

Micha Deckert 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Players are currently dissatisfied with the loot in Anthem. Following the feedback, BioWare has now announced an update that is supposed to bring some changes.

What is wrong with the loot in Anthem? Players are currently dissatisfied with the loot in Anthem. This is due to the fact that items cannot be farmed specifically or that the activities hardly justify the value of the loot. Therefore, it is currently more sensible for players to repeat short activities in the game rather than tackle the more difficult and longer strongholds.

As Lead Producer Ben Irving reported in the Anthem subreddit, BioWare has acknowledged player feedback. Among other things, the following issues were raised:

Some inscriptions on equipment are nonsensical
Players have to receive multiple identical Masterwork items in order to get one “good” item
Players wish that Masterwork items drop more often
They want the functionality of Masterwork inscriptions to be changed so that they are “more useful”

BioWare is planning changes that are expected to take effect with an upcoming update on February 28 or March 1.

A smaller update was already released on February 28, but it is intended to fix other issues.

What is going to change: The update is mainly intended to adjust the inscriptions in Anthem. This includes changes to the drop rates and crafting:

Inscriptions should now match the items they are on better. This refers to new items, not those currently in your vault.
Common (white) and uncommon items (green) will be removed from the loot table for pilots with maximum level 30.
The materials required to craft Masterwork items will be reduced from 25 Ember to 15 Ember.

Reason for the changes: Ben Irving further elaborates in his post on how the inscriptions currently work and how they are intended to function with the update. Currently, there is a large pool of inscriptions, but they are generic. Masterworks have four inscriptions: Major Primary, Minor Primary, Major Secondary, and Minor Secondary.

With the change, the pool of inscriptions is intended to be reduced and related to the respective item. For instance, a pool for assault rifles is now planned, whereas previously there was only a general weapon pool.

Primary inscriptions are now focused on damage or survivability:

Each item-specific inscription (gear icon) should be beneficial for the item it is on.
Javelin-wide inscriptions (suit icon) affect overall Javelin damage or survivability.

What do you think about the changes? Can this update satisfy you, or do you wish for further changes?

Fortnite down: Servers offline for maintenance – Update 8.0 brings Season 8

Robert Albrecht 28. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Today, on February 28, the new Season 8 starts in Fortnite. For this purpose, there will be server maintenance, Fortnite is down on all platforms
(PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). When will the servers be shut down? When will they go back up?

What is happening today in Fortnite? With the upgrade of the game version to number 8.0, a new season in Fortnite: Battle Royale begins, which will present players with plenty of challenges again.

But fans of the PvE mode Save the World can also look forward to new content. However, before it starts, you will have to endure a server maintenance.

Fortnite: Patch Notes for Update 8.00 show the highlights of Season 8

von Schuhmann

Update 10:27 AM: The patch notes are now online! Here you can read the patch notes for Update 8.0 in Fortnite in German.

In the cinematic trailer, you can see the first changes to the map. There is a volcano and a jungle, along with new pirates.

Fortnite servers will be shut down – when will they be back online?

When exactly will the server maintenance start? At 09:30 AM German time, you will no longer be able to start new matches. This is to ensure that there are no open games at the start of the downtime.

At 10:00 AM German time, the servers will finally be shut down. Fortnite will no longer be accessible.

When will the servers be back online? Epic itself indicates the maintenance duration to be 2 hours, so you should be able to start again by 12:00 PM.

If the maintenance duration unexpectedly extends or shortens, you will be informed as usual on MeinMMO. Just like the patch notes for the new game version 8.0, which we will make available on time for the start of the server downtime.

Note: Epic has stated that you will need to download a larger update than usual today. So if you want to dive right back in, make sure to have a free internet connection!

These are the contents of the new Season 8 for Fortnite: Battle Royale: With a new season comes a new Battle Pass, which will bring many rewards again.

In fact, relatively little is known about the new season so far, which Epic has only hinted at with four teasers. Based on these teasers, the new theme will probably be “pirates”.

What will the new Season 8 bring for the Save the World mode? PvE players should also get their money’s worth. The new Season 8 brings a long-awaited feature: hero loadouts.

In addition, there will be a number of other improvements, as Epic announced on Reddit:

Quest rewards will now have fewer duplicate heroes
8 new quests, each will bring a new hero as a reward
Among other things, you should be able to get event heroes that you missed this way.

In addition, there will probably be new content as well.

Because he cheats: Aspiring pro loses contract in Apex Legends

Benedict Grothaus 28. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

A battle royale professional has squandered his chances for a professional team in Apex Legends. During a live stream session, he apparently actively used cheats. Other players noticed this and called him out for it.

Who is it about? It is about the (former) pro gamer ElmZero. ElmZero previously played competitively in other battle royale games like PUBG. Recently, he was offered a spot on the Apex Legends team by the eSports organization Zenith Esports.

This is how ElmZero was exposed: To prove his skills, ElmZero participated in some scrim matches. “Scrims” are planned matches between professionals to practice strategies and teamwork.

However, in these scrims, ElmZero apparently used cheats. Team Liquid professional Tanner “Rogue” Trabb, who plays for Team Liquid in the Blackout mode of Call of Duty Black Ops 4 , was the first to notice the suspicious behavior. He tweeted a striking scene where ElmZero hits too well with a Spitfire.

Shortly thereafter, former Paladins pro Envy also joined in. In another tweet, he pointed out that ElmZero hit flawlessly at a greater distance with a Wingman. Even though the Wingman is considered one of the best weapons according to pro Dizzy, this is rather unlikely.

https://twitter.com/TheBetterEnvy/status/1100279662528393216

As final evidence, recordings of ElmZero’s training that were also tweeted by Rogue followed. In these, it is seen that ElmZero’s accuracy is only about 29% and is certainly not as precise as shown in his videos.

This is the situation now: ElmZero has deleted all of his clips from Twitch and also deactivated his Twitter account.

Zenith Esports announced in a tweet that all contact with ElmZero has been terminated and that the contract will not materialize. He will be excluded from the selection process and they thank the community for keeping an eye out.

This is how the community reacts: The reactions to the entire situation are quite clear. Many fans find it shameful that a professional uses cheats and they want to draw attention to the fact that cheats and hacks are a problem not only in the professional scene but also in regular play.

However, particularly juicy is the detail that Zenith Esports should have known in advance that ElmZero had already been punished for using cheats in PUBG.

Ninja reveals how Fortnite captivated YouTubers and streamers with 3 skins

Schuhmann 27. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins provides insight into the backgrounds on Twitch and YouTube. He explains how Epic ensures that creators stay with Fortnite . With 3 special skins, the influencers earned a fortune.

This is how Epic binds Content Creators to Fortnite: Ultimately, it’s about money. What’s interesting is that the money doesn’t come from “direct payments,” such as prize money for tournaments, sponsorships, and advertising contracts.

Epic has found ways to indirectly involve YouTubers and streamers in the success of Fortnite, by ensuring that the “Content Creators” are “paid” by the fans.

Through 3 special skins and special deals, Epic ensured that the largest Content Creators in Fortnite got a huge piece of the pie.

Twitch star Ninja reveals how much money he made with Fortnite in 2018

von Schuhmann

The two skin packs via Twitch made Ninja rich

This was the big hit: The big move by Epic took place back in March and May 2018. Back then, Epic Games partnered with online retailer Amazon and their streaming platform Twitch.

Players who signed up for a Prime subscription via Amazon could give a streamer a subscription and thus provide money on Twitch.

fortnite-twitch-prime-01 — This was the 1st Twitch Prime set back in March

The incredible power of Fortnite to influence players

Ninja says:

“There were two consecutive months when Fortnite had Twitch Prime skins. The power of Fortnite to make people do things for cosmetic items is incredible. I gained 230,000 subscribers in those two months.”

How much money does a subscriber bring Ninja? A subscriber is worth at least $4.99 a month. Ninja gets at least half of that, often more – depending on what percentage he negotiated with Twitch.

250,000 subscribers would thus be worth over $500,000 a month. Since the deal lasted for several months, Ninja alone became a millionaire from these Twitch Prime deals.

Ninja pocketed the money because Fortnite players subscribed to receive two skin packs for Fortnite: The 1st and 2nd Fortnite Twitch Prime pack. This skin pack also included a “subscription” on Twitch that players could freely distribute.

This “free” subscription worth $5 was then donated to their favorite Content Creator. Ninja benefited significantly from this:

A Heart Skin makes Creators happy

This was strong last time: Ninja further explains that a recent action by Epic was “golden” for him. Epic had already introduced the “Support a Creator” program back in October.

Players can then name a “Creator” in-game and the Creator receives 5% of the money the player spends in the Fortnite store for V-Bucks. But for a long time, this wasn’t significant; only recently did this program really take off.

Ninja says:

“An incredible thing that Epic Games did for Creators was that the Support-a-Creator code gives players a free skin. I have no idea if Epic will continue to do that. I’m just saying, I am almost at three million. That took off the moment they released a free Support-a-Creator skin.”

What kind of skin was that? Epic had promised players a free skin back in February if they supported a Creator. This was evidently another rain of money for Creators like Ninja.

That’s why it’s important: Ninja and many other streamers have had issues with Epic lately since the Season 7 was perceived as weak: Things like the Boombox or the airplane distracted from the actual gameplay and diluted it in the eyes of streamers.

Additionally, a strong new competitor Apex Legends emerged.

But as you can see here, it pays off for streamers and YouTubers to stay with Fortnite because they can monetize the game’s community more effectively through the indirect ways that Epic has cleverly integrated.

However, Apex Legends also knows these tricks. Recently, they offered a Twitch Prime package with a new skin.

Oops! Pokémon GO let Snorlax spawn in nests – players cleaned out

Noah Struthoff 27. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Normally, Snorlax and Lapras are rarely found in the wild of Pokémon GO, but due to a bug, these monsters could be found everywhere in the world in nests.

Here’s how the bug occurred: Yesterday at 10 PM, the event around Pokémon Day started. During this, the nests changed as well. Pokémon from the 1st generation became more frequent in nests.

However, it seems that Niantic made a mistake, and rare Pokémon like Snorlax or evolutions like Jolteon got their own nests. This caused these Pokémon to spawn everywhere in parks and made them very easy to catch.

What are nests? Nests can be found in almost every park or green space. There, a species of Pokémon appears particularly frequently. Some Pokémon do not get nests. These include evolutions and rare Pokémon like Larvitar, Snorlax, or Dratini.

These Pokémon were affected

Which Pokémon spawned in nests? Not every monster was affected by this bug. The following Pokémon were found in nests:

Snorlax
Lapras
Aerodactyl
Vaporeon
Jolteon
Flareon

This is how players found out: Many trainers were astonished when they had several rare Pokémon on their Nearby List right at the start of the event. On Reddit , they shared their findings, and it turned out that such nests appeared all over the world.

These are the highlights: It is particularly amusing when a Pokémon like Snorlax gathers in large numbers at one spot. This happened to “zeflind,” as he showed on Reddit:

Eevee evolutions are very rare in the wild. Therefore, it is even funnier when you have 4 Vaporeon nearby:

Even though it is just a small nest, Aerodactyl was also found in nests:

How long did this last? The whole fun did not last very long. It lasted only about an hour for lucky players to take advantage of these nests. Niantic fixed the bug and allowed other Pokémon to spawn in the parks.

Were you affected as well? Did you find such a nest?

This is what Guild Wars 2 says about the future – after the major layoffs

Alexander Leitsch 27. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet had to lay off more than 100 employees earlier this week. A former developer now claims that this could lead to a boost for the MMORPG. Meanwhile, the Game Director has also come forward with news.

Game Director Mike Zadorojny addressed the players in the forum and provided a statement on the current situation. He reported on the layoffs at ArenaNet and also talked about upcoming plans for the game.

The Future of Guild Wars 2: In his post, Zadorojny lists several things that are planned for Guild Wars 2 in the near future:

The next episodes of the Living World are already in development
A Swiss system is planned for automated tournaments in PvP
More events for World versus World are to come
In the long term, a major overhaul of WvW is also to be undertaken
The Super Adventure Box will return as usual at the end of March

This is what Mike says about the layoffs: He also commented on the layoffs at ArenaNet. They have lost many friends and good colleagues. He asks for understanding that everything needs to settle down for now. He also apologizes for the one-week delay of the new WvW mount.

However, the most interesting sentence is the following:

We’re welcoming back some familiar faces to the Guild Wars 2 team that had been working on unannounced projects.
We are welcoming some familiar faces back to the Guild Wars 2 team who had been working on previously unannounced projects.

This confirms the suspicion expressed by former developer Josh Foreman in a stream.

Former Developer Expects a Boost

Josh Foreman was responsible for Jumping Puzzles, the Super Adventure Box, and many other mostly challenging game contents in Guild Wars 2. According to his own statements, he hasn’t been working on Guild Wars 2 for some time, but rather on a new project.

Guild Wars 2 was not the focus: According to Foreman, the layoffs now mean that ArenaNet’s focus is back on Guild Wars 2.

This is good for the game, especially since many talented developers are still working on it. However, whether this is good for the studio in the long run remains open, according to Foreman.

New projects apparently on hold: In recent years, the studio has allegedly been working on at least two other projects. There have been no official statements yet about whether the projects have been canceled or not.

However, both the statements from Josh Foreman and Game Director Mike Z. indicate that the company’s focus is now once again primarily on the old game.

In The Division 2 you can buy items with money, but no benefits

Tom Rothstein 27. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division 2 it is known how the microtransactions will look. You can buy items directly with money, but advantages cannot be purchased.

On February 27th, the developers of The Division 2 revealed some information about the upcoming shared-world shooter. In addition to the Year 1 content, they also talked about the monetization in the game – about the microtransactions.

You can buy the following at the release of The Division 2 for €: At launch, there will be two ways to acquire additional content with money:

You can buy the Year 1 Pass – what this includes for 40 euros, you can find out via the link.
In the game, there will be a “Clothing Shop” – that is the name of the in-game shop where you can make microtransactions.

You can buy with microtransactions

This is the idea behind microtransactions: According to Massive, the overarching philosophy for The Division 2 is that purchasable items should always be optional for players. Therefore, the in-game shop only contains cosmetic items that you can use to beautify your agent.

The following is offered in the Clothing Shop:

There are clothing crates. These can only be earned through gameplay. These crates contain random cosmetic items. You cannot buy the crates with money.
Cosmetic items for direct purchase: With real money, you can directly buy the item you desire. The randomness disappears when you spend additional money. These are items that can also be found randomly in the clothing crates.
Event crates: Occasionally, new crates with special cosmetics will be available for events. You can earn and purchase these event crates.

Advantages of spending additional money

This is the advantage of direct purchase: According to Massive, you can buy exactly and immediately what you want with microtransactions. You know what you get for your money – it is not supposed to be “gambling”. Additionally, you save time if you do not want to grind the crates with random cosmetics for long.

Can you earn all items? But – you do not have to spend money to get all cosmetics. Everything you can buy can also be earned. However, this takes longer.

Information on the event crates

This is how the event crates work: If you buy or earn the event crates with real money, they will never drop an item twice. That is, if there are 20 new event items in the crates in the game and you open 20 crates, you will definitely have them all. This applies to purchases and earnings.

The standard crates, on the other hand, can contain items that you already own. If that happens, you will be compensated with a progress boost for the next crate.

If you couldn’t earn the event items in the event crates in time, you still have a chance afterward. Because the event items then move into the item pool of the standard clothing crates, allowing you to complete your collection subsequently.

You can inspect the event crates to see what’s inside. Each item has the same chance of being obtained. If there are 100 different items in a crate, the chance for each item is 1%.

The standard clothing crates do not have this item preview.

More information about microtransactions

This is behind premium credits in The Division 2: To be able to purchase cosmetics directly, you need premium credits. Premium credits are a currency that you can only obtain with real money.

Shortly after launch, the first purchasable crates should be available. These will only include cosmetics: No weapons, no crafting materials, no gear.

Massive promises that the crates will never contain any form of advantage.

Winning cosmetic items through gameplay should be fun, exciting, and rewarding, according to the developers. For those who want to speed things up a bit, microtransactions are available.

What do you think of these microtransactions in The Division 2?

Fortnite: A troll has now misled Reddit with a giant octopus

Patrick Freese 27. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

For a short time, Fortnite players were sure that a Kraken would appear in Season 8. A Fortnite employee supposedly leaked this accidentally on Discord. But it was not so accidental.

Why did people believe in the Kraken? On Tuesday evening, many Reddit users were convinced that they had uncovered a new leak. A Reddit thread surfaced that showed the “accidental” details. The thread is titled:

“NEWS: One of the Epic developers seems to have forgotten to turn off the player display, so we now have info. It looks like we will see a mythical creature called Kraken in Season 8!”

This was followed by a screenshot from a Discord user. Discord has a feature that shows other users what game you are currently playing.

A player spotted this info and also saw the hint about the Kraken. For the discoverer, it was clear: the developer must not have been careful and has now leaked the big announcement of a Kraken via Discord.

Animals like tigers are also said to belong to Season 8 in Fortnite.

Leak turns out to be a troll: A few minutes later, the next Reddit thread appeared. It admits, “We got trolled.”

The supposed Epic developer is just a community moderator for one of the official Fortnite Discord servers. And shortly after, they changed their display on Discord to another game. It is called “You all got trolled, with love ♥”

The game names displayed in Discord can be manually influenced to spread messages.

This is what fans are now talking about: Many players on Reddit realize that this was a cool kind of trolling. They say, “Oh man, we got played” and praise the humor.

Others speculate that it probably wasn’t trolling at all. “I think he just wants to cover it up. hmmm,” writes one user. Another writes, “This isn’t a troll; he’s just trying to cover his tracks.”

In any case, this action has caused great confusion in the community. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see whether a Kraken will indeed be part of the new Season 8 in Fortnite. Here is what we know so far:

Apex Legends: Hitbox List – How difficult is it to hit the legends

Benedict Grothaus 27. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The legends in Apex Legends all have various hitbox sizes, known as hitboxes. A YouTuber has taken the effort to find out the hitbox of each legend. The result: some legends are indeed harder to hit.

How were the hitboxes calculated? YouTuber SookieSpy documented all the hitboxes of the characters in Apex Legends through trial and hours of compilation.

To do this, he landed in the same spot with a friend and shot at him with bullets to test where the hitbox ends. From the individual impact points, he then formed shapes from his recordings.

With the same method, he already found out that the legend Pathfinder has a larger hitbox than its model actually shows. For most legends, however, the hitbox is quite accurately aligned with the model.

Link to the YouTube content

This was found out about hitboxes: The video spread quickly and a fan took the time to compare all hitboxes. He then posted his size comparison on reddit. Here are his results:

Wraith – the smallest hitbox
Lifeline – 12% larger
Bloodhound – 12% larger
Mirage – 33% larger
Bangalore – 33% larger
Pathfinder – 90% larger
Caustic – 105% larger
Gibraltar – 140% larger

There are no data yet regarding the new legend Octane.

The legend Wraith has the smallest hitbox of all legends. She is not only the smallest hero but also moves crouched, significantly reducing her target area. She is considered to be the hardest target to hit and a standard for all other legends.

However, it should be noted that movement patterns such as Bloodhound’s stance affect the hitboxes, and critical hit zones such as the head are not taken into account. In motion, some legends are harder or easier to hit. Accessories and details, like equipment on the back of the popular healer Lifeline or Caustic’s lab coat, are not part of the hitbox.

What does this mean for Apex Legends?

In general, a smaller hitbox means that the hero is harder to hit and therefore can survive more easily. Smaller legends thus have an advantage over larger ones and can move up the tier list of Apex Legends.

Some fans are even convinced that the different hitboxes have a significant impact on the game. On reddit, it is currently being discussed whether some legends need a buff to compensate for their size. Ideas include more health points or an automatic upgrade to found armor.

The size of hitboxes is not everything. All legends in Apex Legends have unique abilities. While Gibraltar is the largest hero, he is also the only one who automatically receives a shield when aiming to protect him.

As the site PCGamer explains, factors such as personal skill also come into play. Because of the abilities, the hitboxes are a “non-quantifiable” factor. What would truly provide insight would be numbers about the pick rate and win rate of each legend. A health point buff would, however, be detrimental as it would make the “time to kill” inconsistent.

In another thread on reddit, the developers have already confirmed that the issue is known. They are discussing it but cannot yet say what changes will be made or when.

What do you consider the best solution to this problem?

If you want to survive more easily, movement helps you. Here are some tricks to improve your movement in Apex Legends:

The Division 2 includes the DLC content – Here’s what to expect in Year 1

Tarek Zehrer 27. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The Division 2 has introduced what players can expect in the first year. A new trailer showcases all the free content. We summarize what is planned.

This is shown in the trailer: In addition to a fortress of the endgame faction Black Tusk, there is information about the 1st Raid and new specializations.

Additionally, there are first details about the 3 episodes that are to be released throughout the first year. Each of these DLC expansions will enhance The Division 2 on multiple levels. We present the contents to you.

Tidal Basin – A Fortress of the Black Tusk

What is behind it? Tidal Basin is a large base owned by the endgame faction Black Tusk.

Little is known about it so far; Tidal Basin has only been mentioned in connection with the 5th World Tier. This is apparently only unlocked when you complete Tidal Basin.

World Tiers are available in the endgame of The Division 2 and determine how strong your opponents are and how good the gear you find is. Thus, the last World Tier apparently cannot be unlocked at release.

Operation Dark Hours – the first Raid of The Division 2

This is the 1st Raid: Following Tidal Basin, Operation Dark Hours is the first 8-player raid. Teamplay and coordination are required in this.

The raid is probably located at Washington Ronald Reagan Airport, as indicated by an endgame trailer. It is supposed to present players with a new challenge.

The 3 DLC Episodes of Year 1

After the raid, three episodes are planned that will expand The Division 2 in many ways.

When are the episodes supposed to be released?

Episode 1: Summer 2019
Episode 2: Autumn 2019
Episode 3: Winter 2019

Episode 1 “D.C. Outskirts”

What’s included in the 1st expansion Each of these episodes includes a new specialization, including a new unique weapon.

The first episode is called D.C. Outskirts Expeditions and takes you on two new main missions on the outskirts of Washington D.C.

Additionally, a new gameplay mode is introduced, where agents go on expeditions to locate a lost convoy.

Episode 2 “Pentagon – The Last Castle”

What’s included in the 2nd expansion: In the Pentagon episode, fitting to the name, it goes to the Pentagon.

Agents must storm the former government complex and secure information.

Episode 3 – Name unknown

What we know about Episode 3: The trailer reveals no details yet about the last expansion of Year 1.

However, the episode is supposed to conclude the main story that begins in the campaign of The Division 2 and pave the way for Year 2 and further story content.

New content is not limited to the episodes: As Massive confirmed in the State of the Game from February 27th, there will also be content between the episodes that is intended to fill the time in between.

Part of this content will likely also prepare the stories of the respective expansions. There are currently no further details on this.

New Specializations

What we know about the new specializations: Each of the expansions brings a new specialization with a unique weapon.

As with the already known specializations, there are also unique progress trees, skill mods, and other bonuses that you can unlock.

What exactly they are is not shown in the trailer. You can watch it in full here:
