Until the stream starts, here is some reading material on Anthem:
As more and more exotic hand cannons return from the previous game, many Guardians are wondering if another fan favorite could make its way into Destiny 2 : Hawkmoon.
These hand cannons have already returned to Destiny 2: After the personal sidearm of Cayde-6, the Pikass, celebrated the return of the beloved hand cannon “The Last Word” with the weekly reset on January 29 just a few days ago.
Additionally, Bungie has essentially confirmed with a trailer for The Last Word that another iconic hand cannon will be returning soon – the Thorn.
However, there is also a supposed hint at another potential returnee: the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon. What’s the deal?
What’s behind the possible return of Hawkmoon? A nearly forgotten alleged leak from last year has been brought up again by well-known Destiny YouTuber Houndish in Destiny 2.
It’s about a small info snippet that should interest many hand cannon fans and Destiny veterans.
Specifically, it concerns a sentence from the well-known leaker AnonTheNine, which was mentioned last year. The statement occurred in a conversation on Reddit when a user asked if there were any news about the new potential exotic “Rose” (the Thorn before it was corrupted) that could be introduced in the future. He had read about it on Reddit some time ago.
In response, AnonTheNine said that it was his information and that this weapon was supposed to come with the Penumbra DLC – just like another bird that we all love.
The reference to the bird is interpreted by many fans in this context as a clear hint towards Hawkmoon.
Source: Houndish on YouTube
That’s why fans find the return likely: The return of Thunderlord, Thorn, and “The Last Word” – all of this and many other details about Forsaken and other aspects of Destiny 2 have been predicted long in advance by the Redditor AnonTheNine.
All of his leaks have proven true and absolutely reliable in hindsight, which is why he enjoys great respect within the community. However, the potential leak of Hawkmoon seems to have simply been overlooked amidst the mass of information that AnonTheNine had revealed.
If AnonTheNine actually meant Hawkmoon with the bird, the chances are quite good that this fan favorite could return to Destiny 2 in summer 2019.
Moreover, the statement was made before the “divorce” between Bungie and Activision, so a possible return of Hawkmoon must have already been decided if the leak is correct.
Keep in mind that Anon has always been right with all his statements so far, but that’s no guarantee that it will always be so. You should take this unofficial info with a corresponding grain of caution, even if a return seems possible and even likely for many against the backdrop of previous information.
What makes Hawkmoon special: It is a kinetic hand cannon from Destiny 1 that was long exclusive to PS4 players. The iconic Hawkmoon was one of the most popular weapons in the Crucible during the first year of Destiny 1 and dominated PvP alongside several other sidearms.
It had good stats, but its perks Roulette and Double-Hand made it particularly popular.
This meant that a random shot in the magazine dealt significantly more damage, while two other random projectiles also caused increased damage. It was sometimes possible to eliminate other Guardians with just two or even one shot if both perks were activated at the same time.
In the second year, Hawkmoon was nerfed significantly in Destiny. After that, it was still playable, but no longer one of the top choices in PvP.
The long-awaited collaboration event between Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XV is coming in mid-April. It will bring a very special mount for FFXIV players.
What’s new? Since December, a crossover event has been ongoing in FFXV, where players can fight against the primal Garuda from FFXIV. However, there was a long silence regarding the FFXIV side of the event, and many fans began to doubt that it would ever come.
But during the Producer’s Letter streamed at the Fan Festival in Paris, producer Yoshida announced that the event will also be available for players in Final Fantasy XIV in mid-April.
What will the event be about? In the trailer, you see the protagonist of Final Fantasy XV, Noctis, stranded with his car in Eorzea. There, he meets the player character and fights alongside them against various foes from the FFXV universe.
There will also likely be a special fight against Garuda, similar to the event in FFXV. For this, players must have reached level 50 and completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon.”
What rewards are there? Not much is known yet about what rewards will be available at the event, but producer Yoshida revealed a very special mount that will be obtainable.
Players will be able to receive Noctis’s car, the Regalia. It will be the first mount with 4 seats for a party, and its flight animation will look just like in FFXV. It will transform into a flying car.
Additionally, Yoshida stated that each race will have a different animation when driving the car. A lot of effort has been put into the event.
You can watch the trailer for the crossover here.

At the start of the Open Demo of Anthem, we will keep you updated here in our live ticker about the current events.
As was the case with the VIP demo of Anthem, which had some issues, we are also setting up a live ticker for the open demo. This will keep you informed about the status of the demo and the servers.
Note on the Open Demo: In the meantime, there has been a patch for the demo, which is supposed to fix one of the biggest issues that occurred. This raises hopes that the demo will run more smoothly. However, since the rush on the servers will likely be high again, there may be problems once more.
can also access all 4 Javelins. Previously, only two were planned.
EA and Bioware ask everyone to report any bugs and glitches that occur to you on the provided site.
The official start of the demo is on February 1 at 18:01.
Note: We have removed the news from the past few days to make it clearer.
February 3, 17:09: Something is happening in the world of the Anthem demo. A strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky on some servers. Many players still cannot see it.
What it is about is unclear. It may be related to the event that is supposed to happen this evening. Presumably sometime between 8 PM and 2 AM. It will probably unfold in several phases and the first has already begun.

18:15: Players are now reporting that several small Titans are spawning on the map. Apparently, there are also more monsters and world events with larger Titans.
18:39: The login message has been updated: “The Storm: A strange storm is brewing in the sky. Rumor has it that giants are roaming the land. Enter “Free Play,” Freelander – we need your help outside the walls.”
It is still unclear whether this is just the first phase, or if more changes in the game world will occur later.
19:24: For many, the Titans have disappeared again. The storm is still visible in the sky. It seems that there are indeed multiple phases.
You can follow all of this live, as our MAX stream for Anthem: “Anthem Together” is currently running.

First Guides and Info on Anthem
We have a few useful guides here to help you get started with the demo.
In Pokémon GO there was a major change in attacks. Numerous Pokémon can now learn new attacks. Many players are wondering which monster has benefited the most.
Which Pokémon are we talking about? Together with the release of new Pokémon there was also a major change in attacks. Many Pokémon can now learn new attacks and are therefore stronger or more effective against other monsters.
Some Pokémon have indeed brought new attacks, but these attacks do not make the monster stronger or more interesting for the meta. However, we will show you the Pokémon that have gained from this change and are now significantly stronger.
These are the winners of the attack change
This is what the listing is about: This listing shows the winners of the change. The Pokémon have become stronger, but many of the monsters still do not belong to the top counters. They simply lack the necessary stats.
Here’s why Roserade has gained so much: Roserade can now learn the attack Strauchler. This attack already caused a stir during the Hoenn event with Knilz. Strauchler is one of the best grass-type attacks in the game, making Roserade the best attacker of its type.
Roserade now has an attack with multiple charge bars, allowing it to unleash its charge attack much faster. Previously, Roserade was often defeated before it could use its previous attack Solar Beam at all.
That’s why Roserade remains a winner in the future: In terms of damage per second, Roserade is currently the best grass-type Pokémon. Even a Gewaldro, which can learn a potential Community Day Flora Statue, does not come close to Roserade. So, it will remain the best grass attacker in the near future – all thanks to the attack Strauchler.
A big winner: Kramshef
This is what the new attack does with Kramshef: Kramshef now has access to the attack Himmelsfeger, a flying-type attack. This attack is the best flying attack in the game. As a result, Kramshef now has the best DPS (damage per second) of all flying Pokémon. It can now compete with the current attackers Rayquaza and Lavados.
The downside of Kramshef has always been its stamina, which is now compensated for by a high DPS value.
An arena winner: Machomei
This is what makes Machomei even better now: Machomei is primarily a Pokémon used in arenas against Heiteira or Relaxo. However, it can now learn the rock-type attack Steinhagel.
This makes Machomei even more interesting in arenas: If you now teach Machomei two charge attacks, namely Wuchtschlag and Steinhagel, it will counter not only Heiteira, but also Pokémon like Garados or Dragoran in the arenas. So you can easily take a Machomei battle team into an arena and not only take down the classic defenders.
More good winners
Donphan: This Pokémon can now finally learn a ground-type quick attack. With Lehmschelle it now has a double move set of ground type. Although it does not come close to the best ground Pokémon, it has become significantly stronger and serves as an alternative to Groudon and Rihornior.
Relaxo: This strong arena defender can now learn Wutanfall. This charge attack is better than Rammboss, which it could previously learn. Wutanfall is not as good as Bodyslam, but this attack can no longer be learned by Relaxo. To make a good defender even stronger, you should teach it Wutanfall – provided it does not already know Bodyslam.
Ho-Oh: The legendary Pokémon can now learn Kraftreserve. This attack can be of any type and is randomly assigned to the Pokémon. If the Kraftreserve is fire type, then Ho-Oh finally becomes a good fire attacker, although it still does not rank among the best. With a grass or flying type Kraftreserve, Ho-Oh also improves. If it does not have these three types, then Kraftreserve is not particularly useful.
Aerodactyl: This Pokémon now has a double move set of rock type and can learn Steinhagel. This makes it better than before and finally a bit more useful, but it still does not play a major role among rock attackers.
Which Pokémon has learned an interesting attack for you?
In Pokémon GO, the raid bosses have also become stronger. We explain to you why:
During my travels through Fallout 76, I often encountered teddy bears in bizarre situations. At first, I paid little attention to them, but eventually, a few of these strange creatures stuck in my memory …
Scattered throughout Appalachia, there are various places that can astonish you upon closer inspection. Bethesda apparently paid a lot of attention to teddy bears, which reenact all sorts of situations and made me wonder what the hell they are actually up to.
Ted Y. Bear, Waste Disposal Specialist
One of the first situations I came across occurred relatively early in the game – unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly where. Just that it was in one of the mobile toilets scattered everywhere.
In the toilets, you often find useful items like Stimpaks or Chems that can buff you. Chems are especially common next to dead junkies, who presumably have no use for them anymore.
However, in one of those toilets, I met a teddy bear who was calmly disposing of something in the toilet with a skeleton arm and a plunger. Whether he is disposing of the rest of the body that belongs to the arm or something entirely different, I can’t say for sure, as you can’t see it in the mess.
Another pair of teddies I found during an exploration tour in the northern woods. In Lady Janet’s Soft Serve, a reportedly trendy shop after the apocalypse, bears have taken refuge after its neglect.
Two of the furry fellows are sitting in the kitchen of the former soft serve empire. However, instead of food, they appear to be cooking something else. They are seated in front of a chemistry station with flasks, hoses, stands, and test tube holders.
They are also wearing protective masks, similar to those worn by the protagonists of the popular series “Breaking Bad” in many promo shots. However, I couldn’t find any Crystal Jet anywhere.
Outside of Janet’s Soft Serve, there is another strange bear. This one is simply sitting in front of a grill, holding a spatula in its hand, and watching the fish lying on the grill.
Space Program Teddy and Bear
In the middle of Ash Heap, there are huge machines for extracting various raw materials. Some of these machines stand apart from the actual mines, sitting still and rusting.
To one of these machines, there is a path leading up. On the roof of the device lies a skeleton with a rocket launcher and some ammunition. However, there is somewhat hidden another way up, along the arm of the device.
At the top, you will find a trio of plush toys: two polar bears and a Jangles, the Moon Monkey. The two bears with glasses and pencils are watching Jangles and holding a clipboard in front of him while he waits there with a toy rocket up his rear end.
Attached to the rocket under Jangles is a string that ends at one of the bears, who is also holding a lighter. I probably interrupted the launch, but I’m curious about what the three are trying to achieve with their experiment.
Rocker Teddy with Scale Band
I found the last teddy in a somewhat secluded transformer station north of Watoga. After a fight with a glowing deathclaw, I looked around there a bit.
In the transformer station, there is a small equipment shed. You often find useful items or helpful information like holotapes or notes in this shed.
However, in this shed, there was only a teddy bear with a colander on its head and two drumsticks in its paws. The rocker uses a pot as a drum, which sits right in front of him.
The teddies are surely among the strangest things I found outside our 5 bizarre places in Fallout 76. I’m still not quite sure what all the teddy bears in Fallout 76 are planning. For some, I would rather not be on the launch list.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
After a new event about Anthem, there are numerous gameplay videos showcasing the legendary Contracts and even a Stronghold with Grandmaster difficulty. We get our first glimpse into the endgame of Anthem.
Recently, the EA Game Changer event took place. At this event, participants could play Anthem themselves. The legendary Contracts and a Stronghold on Grandmaster 1 difficulty were showcased.
The gameplay provides an impression of how two of the most important endgame activities in Anthem will unfold and what players can expect. However, the reactions to these scenes are rather muted, with many expressing concerns about the long-term motivation of the shared-world shooter, which is designed as a game-as-a-service.
The first gameplay video is over an hour long and comes from YouTuber Chorypheus. It shows the new Stronghold “Temple of Scar”:
Grandmaster Strongholds Are an Important Part of the Endgame

This shows the gameplay: A new Stronghold Dungeon can be seen. In total, there will be three different Strongholds at the launch of Anthem.
This is a kind of mini-raid, a larger-scale mission. You fight your way through an underground mine and complete tasks until you reach the boss at the end. This is a huge, four-legged machine that is constantly protected by a shield from an external device.
The entire mission is played at the Grandmaster rank. That is the fourth of the total 6 known difficulty levels that will be in Anthem. In the demo that everyone could play, there were only Easy, Normal, and Hard.
These are the difficulty levels of Anthem:
Easy
Normal
Hard
Grandmaster
Grandmaster 2
Grandmaster 3
The Grandmaster ranks can only be unlocked in the endgame with the maximum level of 30. Enemies will then have more health and deal more damage. However, defeating them also results in a significantly higher chance of rare and thus better loot.
Thus, one of the main activities in the endgame will be to repeatedly play missions on higher difficulty levels, similar to Diablo 3 with the Greater Rifts and Portals.
In addition to Strongholds, legendary Contracts are also an important part of the endgame of Anthem. In the video from venturebeat.com, one can first see such a mission:
Legendary Contracts, the Random Missions of Anthem

This shows the gameplay: For the first time, there is an insight into a legendary Contract. Contracts are missions that always differ in objectives, locations, and processes, and are newly generated. As part of the endgame, they also reward you accordingly with rare loot.
After accepting the Contract in Fort Tarsis, you are sent to the mission target in the open world. Once there, you must complete specific tasks.
In the mission shown in the video, it is about retrieving Shaper technology. Several waves of enemies must be dealt with. At the end, a big mini-boss awaits. As a reward, various items like crafting materials, loot, and coins are offered.
This is how gaming sites react to the endgame: Since this event, many journalists from various gaming magazines have expressed their concerns about the endgame of Anthem. Will it provide enough engagement at launch? Can it motivate in the long term?
These questions can only be answered with the release of the full versions. Tom Phillips from Eurogamer.net, who also writes about Destiny, has not yet drawn a definitive conclusion in his endgame preview:
The more I play, the more I feel like I’m getting two games at once – a mix of Destiny-like missions embedded in a Bioware story bubble. Both are good, but do they work together?
Phillips takes a look into the future. Bioware will face a challenge, as it wants to satisfy the hardcore players who are eagerly awaiting raids. At the same time, it wants to keep the story fans on board and also offer something new narratively.
James Davonport from PCGamer. believes that the endgame of Anthem needs more work. One of his biggest criticisms is that the difficulty levels merely spawn more enemies and that these are significantly stronger overall. The AI behavior does not change. This diminishes the variety when repeating activities, as enemies are easy to predict.
As an example, the mini-boss from the legendary Contract is mentioned: “The legendary Luminary (A mobile Scar tank) takes over 5 minutes of sustained fire and skill spam to take down. From the first minute, we had mastered his move set.”
As a result, the fight can become quite monotonous. He will definitely play Anthem and then see how it all develops. He sees parallels to the early days of Destiny, which also struggled with endgame issues.
The live concert by Marshmello in Fortnite lasted only 10 minutes, but 10 million people are said to have watched it. And many are thrilled.
Where does the number come from? The “10 million viewers” come from Geoff Keighley (via Twitter), a well-known gaming journalist. The 10 million are said to have watched “in Fortnite” alone. In addition, there are those who might have watched it elsewhere online.
Keighley claims to have obtained the numbers from sources.
Here’s how the Marshmello event took place in Fortnite: At around 7:30 PM on Saturday, February 2nd, a new mode appeared in Fortnite, called “Showtime.”
This was a 30vs30 mode, where players fought against each other until one team reached 200 kills. In this mode, the playing field shrank around “Pleasant Park,” where Marshmello would perform his concert.
A countdown above the concert stage in Pleasant Park counted down.
All other modes in Fortnite were disabled, except for Showtime and the Creative mode.
Even before 8 PM, announcements from Marshmello could be heard across Fortnite, building anticipation for the concert.
At 8:00 PM the actual 10-minute concert took place in Pleasant Park. During that time there was a ceasefire – no one could attack each other.
You can watch the concert in full length here:

After the concert ended, the “Showtime” match continued where it had left off: Players could eliminate each other. The next day, there was an encore, which in German terms was Sunday morning at 8:00 AM.
This is how Epic connected the concert with Fortnite
As a reward, there were emotes and a pickaxe in the Marshmello style.
Additionally, dance emotes, a Marshmello skin, and other festive items were sold in the Fortnite Cash Shop.
What does Marshmello have to do with Fortnite? Marshmello is one of the stars Epic sought to collaborate with in the summer of 2018 to make Fortnite even more popular and reach new audiences among young people.
Marshmello won the “Pro-Am Tournament” of Fortnite together with Ninja in June 2018. There, Fortnite professionals played alongside actors, musicians, athletes, and other celebrities. Many of the selected “celebrities” were popular among young audiences in the US.
DJ and producer Marshmello (born in 1992) is also very popular with the young audience of Fortnite.
Marshmello says: It was all live
What’s special about this: Marshmello is said to have performed the concert live. He stated this in a stream of Fortnite player CouRageJD.
At first, Epic had concerns about whether they could manage everything live – also due to bandwidth issues. But Epic took the time and ultimately overcame all difficulties.

The boundaries between reality and the game seem to blur during the event. Marshmello treated the viewers in “Pleasant Park” as if they were the audience of a real concert. He addressed them directly and interacted with them. The event was also noted on his tour schedule.
This is how the event is received: There is much praise for the event:
At Forbes, it is said that Marshmello received his own “Super Bowl Halftime” show here. The event was outstanding, for Fortnite and for Marshmello. Such a thing had not been seen, since Second Life. Back in June 2003, “Duran Duran” gave a concert in the game.
At Kotaku, the author stated he was both excited and shocked at how much he enjoyed it.
Many of our readers also praised the concert highly. So it was stated at “Fortnite MeinMMO” on Facebook that the event was really well done, much better than the cube explosion, and the best event so far.
Players on reddit also express their enthusiasm. Epic’s developers are considered geniuses. The overall mood is downright euphoric after the event.
Fortnite goes where no game has gone before
This is how we liked it: I, Schuhmann from MeinMMO, watched it live as well. Even though Marshmello does not make my favorite music, I found the concert bizarre, but quite impressive: It was fascinating to see huge projections of plush figures and 60 people dancing in front of them.
When I realized that not only my match with 60 people was watching, but probably millions of people worldwide, I found the thought really interesting to be part of something so big.
While looking at the people in the Marshmello skin, I also thought about what this means for Epic’s revenue: Because such a skin costs about €15 in the Cash Shop. Despite all the euphoria, there is of course a big commercial component – as with everything in Fortnite.
But I have to tip my hat once again to Epic for paving new paths with Fortnite and always coming up with something new. I could never have imagined something like the Thanos event – even this with Marshmello is something new and exciting to see where games are heading.
While many games we follow on MeinMMO tend to follow clear patterns, you never know what Epic will do next. Hopefully, we will see this in the upcoming events in Fortnite: I want such a giant boss fight.
Since the exotic hand cannon “The Last Word” can now be earned in Destiny 2, a lore video about the story surrounding this exotic is causing great joy and excitement among fans. What is going on?
What happened? The YouTuber “My Name is Byf” should be a familiar name for many when it comes to the story and background of Destiny.
Byf is regarded as a competent knowledge expert who manages to convey complex lore simply and understandably for everyone. His work is highly respected in the community. For many fans, Byf is even the undisputed lore king of the Destiny universe.
Source: My Name is Byf on YouTube
Now he has released a new lore video that is currently creating quite a stir among fans and is on everyone’s lips.
What is Byf’s new video about? The video tells one of the most exciting stories that Destiny has to offer – the complete saga of the iconic hand cannons “The Last Word” and “Dorn” as well as their owners Shin Malphur and Dredgen Yor.
Source: My Name is Byf on YouTube
It revolves around the conflict between these two legendary Guardians, which encompasses much more than the classic “Darkness vs. Light” or “Good vs. Evil” scenario. Through this story, the enormous complexity of the Destiny universe and the depth of the lore becomes particularly clear.
As “The Last Word” is currently relevant in Destiny 2 and “Dorn” will be in the upcoming season, Byf has now appropriately completed this video.
What makes the video so special? The video is 85 minutes long, easily reaching feature film length, and is highly produced. It offers, among other things, excellent voice acting and graphical support. Byf collaborated with several other YouTubers and streamers and also secured the support of the well-known comic writer and artist Stjepan Sejic.
Source: My Name is Byf on YouTube
What do fans say? Byf has always been known for the quality of his lore videos. But this time he has surpassed himself and taken his work to a new level, according to numerous fans. Reddit is overflowing with praise and enthusiasm.
The story is not only interesting for lore fans but also for anyone who is enthusiastic about the Destiny series. The presentation of the story is so professional that many feel more entertained by it than by a visit to the cinema. Sound, graphics, voice acting, and the narration itself are at a professional level.
Once again, Byf has managed to wrap the complex and fragmented lore into a consistently exciting narrative. Many players would have wished for such lore-telling to accompany Destiny 2 from Bungie – for example, as an optional background sound while playing Destiny 2.
Source: My Name is Byf on YouTube
Even the studio has taken notice of the corresponding Reddit post, which now has over 8,000 upvotes. The community manager dmg04 congratulated Byf and highlighted how cool this community work has turned out.
Here you can watch the video: We have linked this lore masterpiece by My Name is Byf below for you. Unfortunately, the video is only available in English. But it is definitely worth a look.

The island of Eureka is primarily associated with long grinding in the community of Final Fantasy XIV. The last area of Eureka, “Hydatos,” will already be released on February 12 and will feature a boss that will be quite challenging.
What’s new in Eureka? The island, where the elements go crazy and where players can upgrade their Eureka weapons and armor, is getting a new area. Hydatos is the final part of Eureka.
The story surrounding the mysterious island will be concluded, and players will finally find out what exactly happened on the island that put it into a chaotic state.
The boss has been considered unbeatable for years
The content of Eureka borrows many aspects from Square Enix’s first MMORPG Final Fantasy XI.
This includes, for example, the loss of EXP upon death and the way monsters behave in the area. This theme continues in the new dungeon Baldesion Arsenal.
The producer Yoshida has emphasized several times that this is exceptionally difficult content. One of the reasons for this is a special boss enemy that the development team borrowed from FFXI.
What is Absolute Virtue? This boss from the area Lumoria in Final Fantasy XI was considered completely unbeatable by players for many years.
To reach Absolute Virtue, players had to defeat several other boss enemies beforehand, and it was not even guaranteed that he would appear after defeating these bosses.
The developers of FFXI even released a video with hints, as raiders spent years failing to defeat this boss without using glitches and exploits. Even afterward, he remained unbeaten for a long time.
Reports and videos of the first “legitimate” kills that did not use exploits appeared around 2008.
The boss Jailer of Love is the last pre-boss before Absolute Virtue.
This boss is now being brought to Final Fantasy XIV, and producer Naoki Yoshida stated that he will be a real challenge. It will be one of the hardest challenges in FFXIV.
What will be special about the dungeon? In addition to Absolute Virtue, Baldesion Arsenal will feature several other bosses that will also be difficult to defeat.
Additionally, there will be special mechanics such as:
Traps
Mechanics similar to the Deep Dungeon
Restrictions on certain resurrection spells
New exclusive mechanics from the Baldesion Arsenal
The producer emphasized that the risk here is very high, which is why the dungeon is considered optional Eureka content.
How does one enter the Baldesion Arsenal? Only players who have completely finished the story of Eureka and fulfilled a series of very strict requirements will be able to enter this dungeon.
The dungeon will likely not be accessible all the time. Yoshida stated that it will only open at certain times.
Players will also need special items to enter the Arsenal. The producer hinted that players will need “wisdom, courage, strength, and stamina” to successfully master this dungeon.
What rewards will there be? It is not yet known what treasures and riches players can expect in the Arsenal.
However, the apparently extremely high difficulty of the dungeon suggests that the loot must be very good to justify and make worthwhile all the hardships.
What new features will there be in Eureka? Eureka will also receive the following updates:
Elemental level increase to 60
Upgrades for Eureka weapons and armor
New Logos abilities and logograms
The new Eureka area “Hydatos” and the Baldesion dungeon will go online on February 12.

The first-person shooter “Metro Exodus” is having trouble on PC. The game will not be released on Steam, but only in the Epic Games Store. Players threaten to boycott. A developer says: If the game is boycotted because of Steam, the next Metro will not come to PC anymore.
This is the game in question: Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter with elements of survival and horror. Exodus is the third title in the “Metro” series and takes place in 2036 in a post-apocalyptic future.
The video game series is based on popular Russian novels.
Metro Exodus was revealed at E3 2017 and is now scheduled to be released on February 15 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

This is the background: Originally, the release of Metro Exodus for PC was planned for Steam. But it was suddenly revealed that it would not appear there, but exclusively in the Epic Games Store.
Angry players have since given previous Metro titles negative reviews on Steam, a practice known as review bombing. Additionally, they expressed their anger over the decision on social media.
There was also a call to boycott Metro Exodus and simply not buy it. The hashtag here was “#NoSteamNoBuy.” Players apparently do not want to be forced to use another platform besides Steam.
Developer feels wronged
This is causing a stir now: On Steam and Reddit, a translation of a post by a developer at “4AGames” is circulating. This is the team behind Metro Exodus.
This post was written by the developer “scynet” in the forum of the Russian game site “gameru.net”. There he presents his view on the situation.
The developer says he has observed how it has escalated. The decision to withdraw from Steam was already sharp and new.
Nevertheless, he finds some reactions to be exaggerated – announcements to simply download the game illegally through torrents, for example. Some people who didn’t want to play Metro at all might have just been waiting for an opportunity to vent their hatred.
The developers have worked hard for years and invested a lot in the game to create something special. Certain players think the effort of the developers is not even worth spending a few minutes to install a launcher.
If all PC players now boycott Metro to show the greedy developers, then the next Metro will definitely not be released for PC, if it even comes at all.
The developer then emphasizes again how much energy he and his colleagues invest in the game.
This is how players are reacting: On reddit, the developer’s post is currently a major hot topic.
Among the comments with the most upvotes are these:
The developer is only worsening the problem with such statements.
People understand the developer’s frustration, but such statements do not improve the situation.
What’s behind this: The problem seems to be that the developer’s longer post, in which he explains his frustration and also expresses understanding, further escalates the conflict.
One could also interpret the developer’s statement simply as a logical consequence: If sales figures are poor, you leave the platform out. However, the statement seems to have additionally poured fuel on the fire.
The shared-world shooter Anthem has been in development for a long time. Now, some developers revealed that during the early phase, they considered a Free2Play model.
For 7 years, even before the release of Destiny 1, Anthem has been in development. In such a long period, there can be many adjustments, changes, or even realignments. Now, Anthem is about to have its official release on February 22 and will be offered as a full-price title for PC and consoles.
Here’s what it’s about: However, it could have gone differently. As the developers revealed, they seriously considered launching Anthem as a Free2Play game during an early development phase – similar to Fortnite. While such a model attracts more players, developers must also find other ways to make money.
Bioware decided against the F2P model for Anthem
This is why they decided against it: As Gamingbolt.com reports, Bioware employees Jonathan Warner and Ben Irving spoke about it to EDGE magazine.
On one hand, they thought that a F2P release would not fit a AAA title. AAA or Triple-A titles refer to games that have extremely high production and marketing costs and thus cost a lot of money throughout the entire development. This includes big titles like Destiny, Far Cry, or Red Dead Redemption 2.
On the other hand, Bioware apparently feared becoming too dependent on generating income in the case of F2P. Thus, they would not be able to respond freely to feedback and would have to make compromises to generate revenue. For instance, they would not be able to deliver certain DLCs for free:
What would we really lose if we offered the game for free? There’s all the money that we would need to make profitable. And you’re less generous towards the players. I think in the Triple-A space, players are more willing to pay the purchase price to then receive a player-friendly model, with free DLCs and optional paid vanity items that you can buy with in-game currency.
Microtransactions in Anthem: How satisfied players really are with this model will likely have to wait until release. Currently, there are discussions about Anthem’s cash shop, where you can buy with real money. Players fear exorbitant prices for cosmetic items and that it could take forever to unlock them through regular means.
Players also had concerns that they could buy crafting materials and other items with real money to gain an advantage.
There are numerous new monsters in Pokémon GO, but two Pokémon remain missing for now. Where are the baby Pokémon?
What happened? Niantic released numerous new Pokémon at the beginning of February. An image released showed a large selection of new Pokémon.
However, the image also showed three baby Pokémon. Of these three monsters, only one Pokémon has appeared so far. Therefore, many players are now asking when these Pokémon will be released.
That’s why players hoped for the babies
The image shows: The image that was shown for the release of the Pokémon displays 10 Pokémon. On the left edge of the image, the three babies Wonneira, Pantimimi, and Mobai are playing on a Mamutel.
This is interesting about the image: While 7 of these Pokémon are already in the game, Mamutel, Pantimimi, and Wonneira are still missing. Mamutel will be introduced with the Community Day in February but nothing is known about the two baby Pokémon yet. They have not been sighted in the game so far.
This baby already exists: While Wonneira and Pantimimi are still missing, diligent trainers have already hatched some Mobai from 7 km eggs. This Pokémon is definitely in the game.
What is interesting about Mobai is that it needs to walk a certain distance to evolve as a buddy. This is comparable to Barschwa, which also has to be kept as a buddy.
When will the other babies come? Nothings is known about the release of the other babies. They may come at an event around Valentine’s Day, as many pink Pokémon appeared last year and the two babies are at least partially pink or rose. However, this is just speculation and not confirmed.
It is interesting that the two babies are already listed in the PokéDex entries of Pantimos and Chaneira as their pre-evolutions. A soon release could be imminent.
However, we must at least temporarily do without the babies of Pantimos and Chaneira. In the meantime, players continue to wonder when the monsters will be released.
Niantic has also made changes to the weather. We will tell you what is new:
Destiny 2 has undergone extensive changes to the sandbox with the update 2.1.4 – also to the supers of the individual guardian classes. The Juggernaut sub-class of the Striker Titan has particularly benefitted and now makes him an absolute annihilation machine.
Now it is clear: the Striker Titan received one of the most powerful, if not currently the most powerful PvE super of all guardian classes with the adjusted code of the Juggernaut, especially when it comes to clearing numerous enemies and enemy groups.
What has changed specifically? Overall, a lot has happened with the Striker Titan. But the decisive adjustments for the new dominance were made with the Juggernaut’s code:
the Chaos Strike shoulder attack has been buffed. The energy cost of this ability has been reduced by 83% with the update 2.1.4
the Trample perk can now extend the duration of the Chaos Strikes every 0.5 seconds instead of only every second with Chaos Strike kills
This is what the Striker Titan can do after the buff: These two changes in combination with the perk Reversal allow a Juggernaut Striker to regenerate his super energy and health with each kill using the Chaos Strikes. This includes kills with the shoulder attack during the active super.
As a result, the Titan can maintain his Chaos Strike super for several minutes – provided there are enough enemies. Alone, he is then for example in Gambit, in the escalation protocol or in the Blind Well capable of using his super throughout the entire round.
For this, he simply has to trigger his super and then work from enemy to enemy with the shoulder attack. In brief: As long as enough enemies cross his path, he can extend his super with the shoulder attack indefinitely.
The exotic gloves Synthoceps
Here’s how to further enhance the super: The exotic gloves Synthoceps pair particularly well with the revised code of the Juggernaut.
This armor exotic increases the melee jump distance of the Titan and boosts super and melee damage when surrounded. This makes it easier to eliminate groups and particularly powerful enemies.
However, the gloves do not extend the duration of the super.
This is what the Juggernaut’s code looks like in action: How this all looks in practice is demonstrated by the exceptional player Esoterickk. Thanks to the changes, he can play through a large part of the Whisper mission on Io with active super and destroy just about everything in his way.

How the Striker Titan with the Juggernaut’s code performs after the changes in Gambit can be seen in this video by Plunder thabooty:
https://youtu.be/hJHHHX0M72c
Whether this was intended by Bungie is currently unknown. However, if used correctly, this would likely be the currently most powerful super in PvE. Only in boss fights are there better alternatives for the Titan and the other guardian classes.
What do you think of the revised code of the Juggernaut? Do you believe Bungie will roll back on this? What do you think of the other supers of the guardians after the sandbox adjustments?

Since the Sinnoh Stone is not very common in Pokémon GO, the question arises as to which Pokémon should be developed first. We will help you make the decision.
Together with the Sinnoh Stone, eleven evolutions were introduced that can now be achieved using the stone. In early February, 6 more developments were added. The Sinnoh Stone is rare, and this raises the question of which Pokémon to develop first.
We will show you what the new Pokémon can do and help you make the decision.
Which Pokémon should be developed first
What is the Sinnoh Stone? The Sinnoh Stone is an evolution item that helps 17 Pokémon to evolve. So far, the stone can be obtained as a research breakthrough or from your 7-day Pokéstop spin.
These Pokémon should have priority: First of all, this list is about the usability of the Pokémon. Of course, everyone should also develop their favorites. However, from a pure utility perspective, these Pokémon are the best:
Snibunna
Roserade
Elevoltek
Snibunna
Best Dark Attacker: The Ice and Dark type Pokémon has an enormous attack value. As a Dark attacker, Snibunna is better than Tyranitar in certain situations in terms of damage per second. As an Ice attacker, it ranks behind Mewtwo but ahead of all other Ice Pokémon. Only Mamoswine will be stronger than Snibunna, but this Pokémon has not yet been released.
It is definitely important to have a good Snibunna in your battle team. In terms of its stats, it is definitely one of the best new Pokémon.
Roserade
Best Poison and Grass Attacker: Especially the two Poison attacks that Roserade can learn make it so dangerous and useful. So far, there has been no good Poison attacker, which is why Roserade is timely. Against Fairy Pokémon, it is a real weapon and highly recommended. As a Grass Pokémon, Roserade is also a top choice. With its new move Leaf Storm, it outshines every Pokémon.
Anyone looking for a very good Poison Pokémon with a very high attack value should develop Roserade first. This Pokémon is a great addition to your collection.
Elevoltek
Best Electric Attacker: With Elevoltek, Pokémon GO gains a new, powerful Electric attacker. Elevoltek has the best Electric moveset with Spark and Thunder Shock and in some fights can even surpass Raikou. However, Raikou is still better in some cases, depending on the opponent’s Pokémon.
If you don’t have a good Raikou, you should rely on Elevoltek. The Electric type is often needed in battles, which is why Elevoltek can shine.
Other solid developments
If you have already developed Snibunna, Roserade, and Elevoltek or are simply looking for other good alternatives, then develop the following Pokémon:
Rihornior
Kramshef
Tangoloss
Yanmega
Rihornior: As a Rock attacker, Rihornior ranks behind Tyranitar with Rock Slide. Whoever didn’t participate in this community day has nothing to lose by developing Rihornior. As a Ground attacker, Rihornior ranks behind Groudon. As an alternative, it is still useful.
Kramshef: Kramshef is another good Dark attacker alongside Snibunna. The difference from Snibunna is only that Snibunna can also be used as an Ice attacker. Nevertheless, developing Kramshef is not a bad idea.
Tangoloss: Compared to Pokémon like Roserade or Venusaur, Tangoloss appears somewhat weaker; nevertheless, this Pokémon is still a good Grass attacker. Moreover, it can take more damage than Roserade and could especially be useful when you need to conserve potions.
Yanmega: With Yanmega, you have one of the best Bug attackers in the game. Its attack Bug Buzz eclipses competitors Pinsir and Scyther. However, those two do have slightly better attack stats. All three Pokémon are therefore at a similar level.
Develop these Pokémon last
Some developments are not useful in battle and should therefore be done last. Rather use your rare Sinnoh Stones on Pokémon that have some battle utility.
These Pokémon currently have little significance:
Porygon Z
This Pokémon is of type Normal. This type is not useful against any other type. Its attacks are also not very significant compared to other Pokémon.
Togekiss
This Fairy type Pokémon currently has no Fairy fast move and therefore cannot be effectively utilized. Togekiss may soon learn a Fairy fast move, which would make it useful.
Galagladi
Galagladi has an interesting combination with Fighting and Psychic types, but unfortunately, its attacks and stats don’t help much. As a Psychic attacker, it faces strong competition, such as Mewtwo or Espeon. As a Fighting Pokémon, its attacks are simply too weak.
Traunmagil
Traunmagil is just a weaker form of Gengar. With the Gengar Day, every player should have plenty of strong Ghost-type Pokémon and can delay the evolution of Traunmagil.
Magbrant
This Fire Pokémon unfortunately has very weak attacks. There are many stronger Fire Pokémon than Magbrant.
Schlurplek
This Pokémon suffers from the same problem as any other Pokémon of its type. It is of type Normal. This type does not effectively hit any other types. Additionally, Schlurplek’s stats are not very good.
Ambidiffel
Here we have the same problem as with Schlurplek. The Normal type. In addition, Ambidiffel has no good stats and its attacks do not help it either.
Skorgro
Skorgro has neither strong attacks nor a good mix of types (Ground/Flying). Therefore, evolution is only useful for the Pokédex.
Zwirrfinst
Zwirrfinst has a very poor attack value and does not benefit from its attacks. Here too, evolution is more beneficial for the Pokédex.
Frosdedje
This Pokémon has a weak attack value and low CP. If you need to be economical with your Sinnoh Stones, you should develop Frosdedje last.
Which Pokémon do you want to develop first?
In February, some changes were made to the raid bosses:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is an interesting new concept for the challenges in Season 7. You must compete for successes with the balloons and fireworks in the tasks. Not all players appreciate this.
This is what the balloons and fireworks are about: Usually, the weekly tasks in Fortnite are permanently available. So any player can collect the same Frost Gnome in a match, for example. The gnome does not disappear if another player has already picked it up.
However, with the challenge involving the fireworks from week 4 and the balloons from week 9, it is different: If a player has already used the item in the match, it is gone for all other players, and you search in vain for it in that round.
If you also want it, you have to be the first to reach and use the object in a new round.
More competition in the challenges
What is the effect of this new regulation? Since only one of the 100 players in a round can solve the challenge, the tasks have become much more exciting and correspond to the battle royale ideal of “There can only be one”.
Especially at the beginning of each challenge, the locations of the respective items are fiercely contested, and players blow each other away in droves. Experience shows that this calms down over the days, but a certain thrill remains.
How do the fans react to this concept? However, the issue with the one-time items is not well received by many fans. During the discussion about the balloons and their locations on Reddit, many players reacted with anger and frustration at the fact that the balloons can only be popped once each.
Many players just want to quickly complete the tasks to earn bonuses like the Snowfall Bonus Skin or Battle Pass goodies.
Many fans probably don’t have much desire for exciting fights over the challenge objects. It remains to be seen whether Epic will continue this concept or focus more on simple and often insignificant tasks in the future.
What is your opinion on the topic? Do you find it exciting or annoying when challenge objects are usable only once per match?
A previously little-known streamer became an internet sensation almost overnight. Millions of users have since watched the clip of his nap on Twitch.
What happened? The streamer JesseDStreams was one of many unknown micropart streamers. His online adventures were, on average, followed by a handful of viewers on Twitch. This all changed when the streamer was overcome by fatigue during the broadcast and fell asleep in front of the camera.
Stream of Sleeping Streamer Gains Internet Fame
While JesseDStreams slept with his mouth open in front of the camera, he presented a particularly cute picture. More and more viewers tuned in, waiting for the man to finally wake up.

Finally, that happened, and JesseDStreams looked rather dazed and sleepy at the stream’s history. Where there were only a manageable number of viewers before the nap, over 200 people were now gathered! His reaction was as follows:
“Hey guys, my nap was good! I’m really shocked. There are damn 213 people here, holy crap!”

How a Nobody Became One of the Most Well-Known Streamers on Twitch: The video of him waking up and reacting to his new viewers went viral immediately and spread rapidly on the internet. Therefore, the clip now has around 2.5 million views, making it one of the most popular clips on Twitch!
Currently, the clip aptly titled “The Awakening” is at number 7 in the Top 10 of the most popular Twitch clips. According to the tracking site Twitch Strike, the clip from JesseDStreams is now in third place among the most popular clips on Twitch.
Thus, he is just behind a video of a guy being startled by his daughter while playing a horror game, and the clip where people shoot at the house of the troll streamer Dr.Disrespect in real life.
Not a bad achievement given that JesseDStreams actually just fell asleep in front of the camera.
What do you think about the clip of the sleeping streamer? Adorable and cute or silly nonsense?
According to one of the leading figures at BioWare, participants in the open demo of Anthem can look forward to something “cool” on Sunday. The downside: It might be quite late for German players.
Along with various announcements about the open demo, the “Head of Live Service”, Chad Robertson, mentioned in passing that players should definitely log in on Sunday, as something “cool” is supposed to happen. He states: If you can only play on one day, then it should be Sunday afternoon.
This specifically means for interested players to play the demo on Sunday, February 3rd. Only “afternoon” was mentioned.
This likely means in the afternoon, American time. Here in Germany, this would mean that the event is supposed to take place between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM on Monday. So, those who want to participate should make themselves a coffee in the evening.
When exactly the event will take place is still uncertain. As soon as we know more, you will find out as usual on MeinMMO.
What exactly will happen on Sunday? Robertson was quite vague on this:
Stay tuned on Sunday afternoon (American time). We will show you a glimpse of the cool things we are planning for the future of Anthem.
What exactly will happen is still unclear. The opinions of the community are quite varied on this:
Will we finally get a taste of the so-called “Shaper Storms”, massive storms that are still a mystery?
Will a new area of the map be revealed that players can explore?
An additional story mission or another stronghold could also be possible.
This kind of approach is actually quite popular. Often, additional content is unlocked shortly before the end of demos or beta versions to put the servers through another stress test. For instance, in the beta of Destiny 1, the first story mission on the moon was unlocked shortly before the end.
A so-called “Shaper Storm”
All info about the open demo on MeinMMO: If you want to get a picture of Anthem yourself, you can do so in the demo taking place next weekend. Everyone can join, no pre-order or anything is necessary. The demo runs from Friday, February 1st to Sunday, February 3rd (in Germany, it will be Monday, February 4th, at 3:00 AM).
Will you be there on Sunday evening? Or is that too late for you?
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there will soon be a crazy event. The musician DJ Marshmello is giving a live concert in the game. How it works and what you need to keep in mind can be found here. For a few moments, there was even a ceasefire in Fortnite.
Who is DJ Marshmello? This musician is not only a popular DJ but also a big fan of Fortnite. He played with a bucket on his head together with Ninja in the “Pro-AM” tournament at E3 2018 and even won there!
Currently, DJ Marshmello is on a big tour, and one stop is actually Pleasant Park from Fortnite.
What is the Marshmello Event? The gig in Pleasant Park is no joke. Rather, DJ Marshmello will actually appear in the game and give a concert on February 2 at 8:00 PM our time. A stage has already been set up in Pleasant Park for this.
This is how Marshmello announces the event: On February 1, you could hear Marshmello’s voice in the game. He announced the event again with the words “What’s up, Fortnite, this is Marshmello. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow!”

How will the event unfold? According to a data leak, there will be a special game mode called “Party at Pleasant Park”. Squads are usual there, and respawns are enabled. You can then watch the concert and not worry if you get eliminated.
If this mode really comes, it will probably be a bizarre mix of a concert and a huge slaughter, if ruthless players regularly “crash” the party. However, it is still unclear whether this game mode actually exists and whether the event will also take place in the other modes.
This is how the Show-Time event unfolded in Fortnite
Update 2.2., 19:24 Uhr: It’s true. There is indeed a special limited-time mode for Showtime.
Update 19:39 Uhr: All modes are now disabled except Showtime and Creative mode. However, there seem to be problems – when trying to start a match, the message “All battle buses are full” appears.
The surge of participants for the event seems to be enormous.
The new mode is quite a slaughter. The storm eye is gathering around Pleasant Park, so around the concert.
Two “big” teams face off in a 30vs30 match. The first team to reach 200 kills wins. Respawns are enabled. During the preparation, there are announcements from Marshmello.
Update 20:00 Uhr: The event has started. And there is indeed a ceasefire in Fortnite. Apparently, all weapons are disabled during Marshmello’s concert.
Right in front of the stage, there is a zero-gravity zone, so people are jumping around while a giant Marshmello dances with projections of plush representatives.
Players gather in front of the stage, using the Emote “Shimmer,” which they previously earned through challenges. They clap over their heads – like at a concert.
Impressive when you think about how 60 people are doing this in one match – and probably a few million worldwide right now. And when you see how many are wearing a Mello costume (1500 V-Bucks in the shop), Epic has surely made millions of dollars on skins with this idea again.
Update 20:12 Uhr: The concert lasted only a few minutes. After 3, 4 songs, the weapons were suddenly active again, and the peaceful concert turned into a slaughter.
Update 23:08 Uhr: Marshmello is playing an encore. On Sunday, February 3, at 8:00 AM CET (i.e., our time), he will perform again.
Everything about the Marshmello Event
These are the Marshmello items: To celebrate the event, Epic is currently offering a lot of Marshmello-themed items. You can buy the DJ as a skin in the item shop right now. Along with a matching glider and Marshmello emotes.
There is also DJ Bop, the female counterpart to the Llama DJ Yonder from the Battle Pass of Season 7. And if you just want to dance, you can get the Nightlight skin.
These are the Marshmello challenges: On Friday, February 1, at 3 PM, additional challenges for the Marshmello event went online. The first task is already online; you need to find a poster for the event. Where you can find them, you can find out here in our guide to the Marshmello poster.
For the second task, you only need to visit the concert location at Pleasant Park. Just go there, and you have completed the task. Task 3 requires you to spread “Mello mood” at a truck stop, an ice cream parlor, and a frozen lake. For this, we have a guide to the Mello mood.
What do you think of the Marshmello event? Are you a fan of the DJ, or do you find it all quite silly?
A YouTuber reportedly heard that Electronic Arts is planning a new game in the “Titanfall” franchise, but Apex Legends is said to be a battle royale game like Fortnite. Other sources are now also confirming this information.
Where does the rumor come from? The YouTuber Jeremy Hambly runs the channel “The Quartering.” He claims to have heard this rumor from a “reliable source.” It is said to come from an insider.
This is said to be the presentation plan: Allegedly, EA wants to release a kind of “teaser announcement” today, on Saturday, February 2, that hints at the new game, but it is not a proper reveal.
Famous streamers from the “Battle Royale” community like Shroud and DrDisrespect are said to have already played a closed beta and be part of this teaser announcement.
On February 4, next Monday, the game is supposed to be officially presented and released on the same day.
New Game “Apex Legends” by EA
Here are the additional details about the game:
The game is supposed to be called “Apex Legends” and is an official part of the “Titanfall” franchise, but it is said to have a different “feel” than previous Titanfall games.
It is being developed by Respawn.
It is a free-to-play title.
The gameplay is said to be a mix of Blackout from Call of Duty 4 and Rainbow Six Siege – with a battle royale format.
Teams consist of 3 players.
The three-player teams are supposed to consist of different characters that complement each other – like in Overwatch.
The maps provide space for up to 60 players and 20 teams.
And Apex Legends is supposed to be financed through a cash shop and microtransactions.
Furthermore, the YouTuber plausibly explains that he tried to reach Respawn, and they could have easily dispelled the rumor if it had been nonsensical. The YouTuber claims to have seen footage and appears very convinced of this rumor.
It also seems logical that EA wants to hop on the F2P battle royale train. With Battlefield 5, it seems they missed out. If EA really has something in the works, they should hurry before the battle royale hype dies down.
What speaks against the rumor? February is already surprisingly full with titles like Anthem and Far Cry New Dawn. And such a sudden launch for a new game seems very early. People were actually expecting a Titanfall much later.
This is what happens next: The good thing about the rumor is that we should find out in just a few hours if there is any truth to it. Today, one should keep an eye out for whether EA makes such an announcement.
Breslau refers to sources who have already played the game at an event. This could include streamers like Shroud and Dr Disrespect, whom the YouTube source also mentioned.
According to Breslau, Apex Legends will be a Titanfall without Titans. The game is being developed with Valve’s Source Engine.
So it really seems to have some truth to it.
