Destiny 2: Lore expert excites thousands of fans with epic video

Sven Galitzki 3. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Final Fantasy XIV revives the toughest boss in the history of Final Fantasy

Irina Moritz 3. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

final fantasy xi jailer of love — 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.

final fantasy xiv shadowbringers y’shtola

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.

Developer says: If you boycott Metro Exodus because of Steam, then …

Schuhmann 3. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

#NoSteamNoBuy

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.
Employees should never publicly complain about their customers while using accounts linked to their employer. The “Guild Wars 2” case showed that.

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.

Update: Now the publisher speaks out:

Why Anthem almost became a free-to-play game

Tarek Zehrer 3. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

EA and Bioware have already given a clear answer to the Pay2Win question.

Pokémon GO players wonder: Where are the new baby Pokémon?

Noah Struthoff 3. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

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: How powerful is the Striker Titan after the new update

Sven Galitzki 3. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

What has happened? Already at the announcement of the super changes, many fans speculated how the Striker Titan would play.

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.

400px-Synthoceps1 — 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?

Pokémon GO: Effectively using the Sinnoh Stone 2019 with these developments

Noah Struthoff 3. February 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

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.

You can find a current overview of the most worthwhile developments with the Sinnoh Stone 2022 in our related article.

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.

pokémon-lets-go-pikachu-evoli-funny-hairstyle_6037208

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:

Fortnite is trying something new with golden balloons – What fans are saying

Jürgen Horn 3. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

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?

Unknown streamer falls asleep on Twitch, wakes up, is famous

Jürgen Horn 3. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

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!”

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?

Anthem announces something especially cool for an Open Demo day

Robert Albrecht 3. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

When is the event supposed to take place? Recently, BioWare released a statement regarding the performance of the VIP demo, which took place last weekend.

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.

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?

EA seems to announce something like Titanfall Fortnite on Monday

Schuhmann 2. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Why does this sound credible? We reported in December that EA was recruiting people for a new Titanfall. It seems clear that something from the studio regarding Titanfall is coming soon.

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.

Titanfall game allegedly without Titans

Update 20:26: There seems to be something to the rumor. Both Jason Schreier from Kotaku and eSports journalist Rod Breslau (via Twitter) are now reporting about Apex Legends.

Schreier says he had the information last month.
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.

The 10 Best Stories in Destiny 1 and 2, According to a Lore Expert

Micha Deckert 2. February 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

Destiny 2 has offered quite a bit of lore since Forsaken. MyNameisByf has now revealed his ten favorite stories from the Destiny universe in an article from Forbes, where he is considered a lore expert for Destiny.

What is it about? MyNameisByf is known to most Destiny players as one of the great lore experts. On his YouTube channel, he has been dealing with the story of the shooter universe since the days of Destiny 1. Byf regularly works on story scraps and hidden lore for his followers.

In collaboration with Forbes, Byf has now compiled his ten favorite stories from the Destiny universe. The stories are hidden in the texts of Destiny.

1. Marasenna: The Story of the Awoken

In the lore book Marasenna, the story of the birth of the Awoken is told in Destiny 2. Queen Mara Sov plays the main role and travels during the Golden Age together with her brother Uldren, who at that time was still called Uldwyn, and her mother on a colony ship.

However, during the journey, darkness arrives and changes the travelers forever.

If you haven’t collected all parts of Marasenna yet, you can read them here in English.

2. The Books of Sorrow: The Story of the Hive

If you have always wanted to know more about Oryx and his family, you should read The Books of Sorrow. The lore describes how the three siblings Aurash (later Oryx), Sathona (later Savathûn), and Xi Ro (later Xivu Arath) traveled to the center of their home planet Fundament and met the Worm Gods Akka, Eir, Ur, Xol, and Yul.

The Books of Sorrow, which could be found in Destiny 1, you can read through here or you can check out the series from MyNameisByf:

3. The Ishtar Collective

This piece of lore is not a long story, but rather small pieces about what the research team has discovered about the Vex and the Black Garden. It also tells how the future war cult was founded.

You can read the story in English here and here.

4. The Dark Prince: The Story of Uldren Sov

Uldren Sov plays a larger role in the shooter since Destiny 2: Forsaken. His lore book, which can be found in Destiny 2, recounts the events from the discovery of the Black Garden before the story of Destiny 1 to his imprisonment in the Prison of Elders before Forsaken.

You can read the lore book in English here.

5. The Great Ahamkara Hunt

The Ahamkara also received more attention with Riven in Destiny 2: Forsaken. Instead of telling in lore books how the Guardians hunted these fantastic beings in ancient times, the story is narrated through the raid gear Last Wish.

Among other things, it is also told how Mara Sov wished for a visit from Lord Shaxx.

You can discover the stories here in English.

6. The Story of Calus

Why does Calus fly through space with the fish-like Leviathan and why is the Emperor not as hostile towards the Guardians as Ghaul? Guardians can read why Calus admires our Guardians on the weapon Zenith of your kind.

7. The Story of the Drifter

The story of the Drifter, the lord of Gambit, will surely be continued with the upcoming Season of the Drifter. Until then, Guardians can collect the Old Apocalypse gear from the PvEvP mode.

The lore tells of the adventures of the Drifter, who and his team encountered creatures that could take a Guardian’s light just by their presence.

8. The Story of Saint-14

One of the greatest Titans of all time, who bequeathed us the shotgun Perfect Paradox, is Saint-14. Is he now dead or not? The story of the weapon is immensely paradoxical, yet the story of Saint-14, who is referred to in German as the 14th Holy, is more than heroic.

Did you know that Saint-14 killed a Kell with just a headbutt? You can find the Grimoire card with the story here.

9. The Glass Chamber

The first raid from Destiny 1 is not only one of the favorite raids of many Destiny veterans but also has a great story to offer. Still, not all mysteries surrounding the famous chamber have been solved. It is suspected that there is still a chest hidden in its winding halls with particularly great loot.

For more information about the Glass Chamber, the Guardian heroes Kabr and Praedyth, and the many mysteries, you can find here in English at Ishtar-Collective.

10. Cayde-6 and the Darkness

Few players are likely to know about this story, as it is neither in the current lore nor in the old Grimoire cards from Destiny 1. The story of Cayde-6’s memories of the darkness could only be read in the Collector’s Edition of The Taken King.

If you are interested in this piece of lore, you should check out Byf’s video:

Fans demand new map in Black Ops 4: Blackout – Chef responds now

Jürgen Horn 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has promised regular updates of the Blackout map at launch. However, there hasn’t been much new on the battle royale map so far. According to the lead developer, that should change soon.

This is the situation in Blackout: At launch, developer Treyarch boldly promised that the large map in the battle royale mode Blackout would change more often. However, the only major change so far has been the newly added yacht “Hijacked”, which came with the Absolute Zero update in December 2018. That was also the 2nd season of Blackout.

Since then, nothing new has come, and fans are getting impatient. After all, the big competitor Fortnite seems to release new content every week, and PUBG also has several maps to choose from.

Lead Developer Addresses Map Changes

This is what Treyarch says about the map issue: A fan complained via Twitter, asking “Can we just get new areas on the map, damn it, please!” Despite the rough tone, there was a quick response from the lead developer David Vonderhaar himself. He simply said, “We are working on it, Season 3 is coming soon.”

It seems that there will finally be a new map change and addition in Blackout in the upcoming Season 3.

What changes could come? The Blackout map consists of several familiar multiplayer maps from past Call of Duty titles. For example, Hijacked is from Black Ops 2. While fans are generally excited about any change, maps like “Burial” and “Cove” from Black Ops 2 are particularly popular.

When is Season 3 coming? Season 2 will be ending in a few weeks. This means that Season 3 will likely begin soon and the new map change will take effect shortly after. So you won’t have to wait long for the new map in Blackout.

David Vonderhaar is currently quite active on Twitter. He also shared information regarding changes to a controversial game mode in Blackout.

Pokémon GO: Palkia is hard to catch – Here’s how to make it easier

Noah Struthoff 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The legendary raid boss Palkia in Pokémon GO makes many trainers sweat. It is difficult to hit. We give you tips on how to catch it more easily.

With Palkia, you are facing a raid boss that is very strong. It is worth completing some raids with the legendary Pokémon. However, some players are complaining that the boss is hard to catch.

Palkia is very far away, and many balls are simply thrown too short. Additionally, the circle is very small, making a good hit even harder.

How to catch Palkia more easily

There is this trick: To prevent Palkia from blocking all your balls, you need to throw exactly when it is performing its attack. The ball will hit the Pokémon right after the attack animation, and it won’t be able to fend off the ball.

Set your circle: To increase the chance of catching Palkia, a great or excellent throw helps. For this, you can set the circle:

Link to the YouTube content

Tap on the ball and hold it down. Keep holding the ball until the circle reaches the optimal size for the throw.
After that, you can release the ball. Make sure to release the ball at the bottom of the screen. This way, you won’t lose this ball.
The circle is “set” and will not get smaller or larger as long as you don’t take the ball back in your hand.
Throw the ball at the moment Palkia performs its attack. You then hit the Pokémon in the set circle as long as your throw reaches it.

This is the problem with Palkia: This legendary Pokémon is so far away. Many balls are simply too short and therefore don’t even reach. To ensure your balls fly that far, you need to utilize the entire screen for the throw. Rotate your ball at the very bottom of the screen and then swipe it across the entire length of the screen and only release it after three-quarters of the screen. This way, your ball flies much further.

This is how you address the problem with the circle: The circle for Palkia is very small. Therefore, it is hard to hit the Pokémon excellently. Aim for a great circle instead if you are not very good at throwing. It is better to hit a Pokémon greatly than to throw beside the circle because it is too small.

To be well prepared for a raid, check out the best counters:

That’s why ESO fans are now looking forward to the big update

Jürgen Horn 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online is getting an update soon with extensive changes to the races and their bonuses. Many players fear that their chosen races will no longer fit their roles. However, developer Zenimax has now decided to release more change tokens and adds something extra.

What are the race changes about? The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) offers 10 races with different values. Depending on what you are playing, you have different bonuses that are particularly suitable for certain roles. So far, Nords were good tanks and High Elves excellent mages.

With the upcoming changes from Update 21, some of these bonuses will change and possibly the overall picture won’t fit anymore, if you want to be a hardcore raider focused on maximum efficiency.

This was the previous plan from Zenimax: Zenimax wanted to provide a free change token for this case, but many players found that insufficient. After all, you have more than one hero and additional tokens would have to be purchased for expensive real money.

Developer wants to release more tokens, fans are delighted

This is how Zenimax is responding to the players: In the ESO forum, the developers announced that they would take another look at the issue. It turned out that a significant portion of the player base would like more change tokens. Therefore, the announcement has just been made that there are now three tokens.

The developers are ramping it up: But that’s not all, Zenimax is adding three name change tokens as well. It seems that a significant portion of the player base values having a fitting name for their hero.

This seems to occur more often than initially suspected among some hardcore gamers, whose main focus is on good DPS and raid efficiency.

So that the “Orc Skullbreaker” who switched from Orc to High Elf or the former Argonian “Scales-like-Fish” has a fitting name in his new form, you will soon be able to use the free name change tokens.

How the action is received by the fans: The community’s reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. They are pleased that Zenimax is listening to the fans and not giving in to the temptation to make a lot of money from paid tokens.

When is Update 21 coming? Zenimax has not revealed an official date, but with a bit of luck, Update 21 along with the paid DLC Wrathstone will still arrive in February 2019.

Men are missing from the new race of Final Fantasy XIV – Is that intentional?

Irina Moritz 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

Now it is official: The race of Viera from Final Fantasy XII and Tactics Advance will soon be playable in Final Fantasy XIV. However, something very important was missing in the teaser video for the race.

Who are the Viera? In the games known as “Ivalice Alliance”, the Viera are one of the many races living in the magical world of Ivalice. They are primarily distinguished by their large rabbit ears and mostly live in harmony with nature, isolated from the rest of the world.

Only a few Viera leave their forests, such as the first of their representatives in FFXIV, Fran. Fran appeared at the end of the story of the 24-man raid “Return to Ivalice”.

In the teaser video, you can catch a glimpse of how the Viera will look in Final Fantasy XIV.

Link to the YouTube content

What is missing? A significant detail in the teaser video is that only female Viera are shown. So far, no new images or artworks of male Viera have been released.

The only two places where male rabbits have been mentioned are:

By an NPC in the game, who tells players more about the history of the Viera in FFXIV. He says that men and women live strictly separated from each other.
In a very old concept artwork from the time of the Heavensward expansion,

Why shouldn’t there be any men? In the original Ivalice games, the Viera were considered to be a purely female race. It was said that the men also lived deep in the forests, but so far, only women have been seen and, above all, playable.

At the press conference, the question about the male Viera was answered by Naoki Yoshida with a “…There is still the Fan Fest in Japan….”.

We will learn more in March at the next Fan Fest about why only the female Viera have been introduced so far.

That’s why Fortnite streamer Ninja is even at the Super Bowl 2019

Noah Struthoff 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

For Fortnite players, Ninja is a recognizable face, but now the streamer is getting a commercial appearance in front of millions during Super Bowl 2019.

What is the Super Bowl? The biggest sporting event in the world, the Super Bowl, is not only a big topic for fans of American football but also an event for everyone with a large halftime show and funny commercials.

Last year, Wargaming had humorous World of Tanks commercials. Over a billion people worldwide will watch the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. This year, Fortnite even plays a small role.

In one of the short commercials, the streamer Ninja also appears. Along with several football stars, he promotes the upcoming NFL season.

Why Ninja is at the Super Bowl

What is the commercial about? The advertisement shows an extravagant event where several football legends are sitting together. Ninja appears in the spot as a waiter serving the stars. The football players are quite astonished by the famous waiter.

The astonishment is interrupted by the question from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell: “Who is Ninja?” To which the former star quarterback Peyton Manning responds briefly: “A video game champion.”

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

What is so special about this advertisement? The commercials that run during the Super Bowl breaks are considered the most expensive advertising slots in the world. Producers have to pay several million dollars to have their spots broadcast for just a few seconds.

Over a billion people follow the sports event. Being part of such an advertisement is also a significant milestone for Ninja.

Why is the NFL advertising with Ninja? The spot that features Ninja is an official NFL advertisement. It promotes the upcoming NFL season. It impressively shows that Fortnite is well-known everywhere. The NFL aims to attract new viewers with such a campaign and does so with a streamer who reaches millions of (young) people.

It is not the first time that Fortnite collaborates with the NFL. There have been numerous footballer skins in Fortnite, and for February, a football event is also planned.

Can I also see the advertisement? In the German broadcast of the Super Bowl, German commercials are, of course, shown as well. This spot is mainly intended for the American market, but German channels occasionally show American commercials too.

Since this spot promotes the NFL, it is quite possible that German viewers might catch a glimpse of this advertisement.

When does the Super Bowl take place? On the night from Sunday to Monday, starting at 0:30 AM German time, the Super Bowl begins. This spot will be shown just before halftime. So you need to stay awake for a long time if you want to see Ninja in the Super Bowl.

Ninja already caused a stir on New Year’s Eve in Times Square:

Warum diese putzigen Viecher die Community von Anthem spalten

Leya Jankowski 2. February 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The community of Anthem is already divided into two camps before the release. The culprit? Seemingly harmless little creatures called Klauninchen.

The situation is serious; the debate in the Anthem community is huge. The players have so far appeared to be harmonious, but when it comes to Klauninchen, the fun just stops.

What are Klauninchen? The colorful beings hop through the biotope of Anthem. They have notably large, colorful antennae on their heads and seem rather shy.

Klauninchen are about the size of a dog and are a crazy mix of squirrel, fox, lizard, and moth. They are even kept as pets, but they’re suspected of stealing things and hoarding them. Hence the name: Klau-ninchen.

anthem-grabbit — Klauninchen are always found in groups and usually behave peacefully towards the player.

Anyone approaching the little creatures too quickly with their Javelin startles them and sends them running. Those who approach them carefully soon hear a cooing and can observe as the Klauninchen roll onto their backs and curl up.

Protect or slaughter? That is the question

Some find Klauninchen just adorable: Many have taken Klauninchen directly into their hearts. They wouldn’t harm a single antenna on these creatures. These players even wish for a feature that allows them to pet the Klauninchen.

Klauninchen-streicheln — Klauninchen friends wish they could pet the animals.

Others see Klauninchen as the spawn of hell: The other faction sees nothing cute in Klauninchen at all. These players simply do not trust them. They only see the octopus beak on the face of the Klauninchen. This is also lined with razor-sharp, pointed teeth. They wonder: How can one not find that creepy?

Klauninchen-gruselig — Upon closer inspection, they don’t seem so cute anymore? Source: UserJatto

This is the conflict:

Some are now hunting Klauninchen and slaughtering them. During the VIP demo, over 2 million Klauninchen already lost their lives.
Klauninchen friends cannot endure these mass slaughters. They want to save the creatures from their slaughterers.

Developers warn about Klauninchen

Will the Klauninchen seek revenge? The conflict has, of course, not gone unnoticed by BioWare. After it became known that more than 2 million Klauninchen were slaughtered in the VIP demo, lead producer Gamble tweeted: “Maybe one day the Klauninchen (Grabbits) will rise.

Fans are now speculating that BioWare is preparing for a gigantic Klauninchen boss fight. Some even believe that a Klauninchen boss will be the surprise of the open demo on Sunday.

Which side are you on?

Of course, we want to know which side the MeinMMO community stands on in the great Klauninchen conflict (here’s where to go for the survey, if you don’t see it):

Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think about Klauninchen. Can these creatures be trusted?

Fortnite: Many want Stage 3 of the Prisoner skin – What’s going on?

Jürgen Horn 2. February 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the new skin Prisoner has several stages. However, Stage 3 appears to still be locked. Nevertheless, there are hints on how you can unlock the new stage later.

What is the story behind the Prisoner? The Prisoner is the secret skin from Season 7. He could only be unlocked in Week 9, as you needed to complete a total of 60 tasks from the weekly challenges to do so.

But the skin itself is not the end. The outfit has several stages, and to unlock them, you need to use specific actions and items in the game. For Stage 2, you had to find a key in Polar Peaks.

But what comes next?

Data leak provides a hint about Stage 3 of the Prisoner

What’s the next step for the skin? Currently, it seems that no player has figured out how to unlock Stage 3. This appears to be intentional, as data miners have found hints in the Prisoner’s files about an item that will soon play a new role: the campfire.

What’s the significance of the campfire? It seems that you will need the new version of the campfire to unlock the 3rd stage of the skin. According to Epic, with the upcoming update 7.4 the campfire will change. You should be able to light wood piles and then turn them into interactive campfires.

According to data miners, this is likely to be the method to unlock the third stage. Another clue comes from the “secret” title image for Week 10, which has also already been leaked.

It shows the Prisoner sitting by a campfire, with parts of his shackles removed.

The later stages of the outfit show the Prisoner with fewer and fewer chains. Therefore, it is highly likely that the campfire and Stage 3 are closely connected. We will know more when update 7.4 goes live, which is expected to be between February 5 and 7.

It remains exciting how to obtain the final 4th stage. It will probably have more to do with the theme of “fire,” as Stage 4 is partially engulfed in flames.
