Players are currently having fun in the endgame of Fallout 76

Benedict Grothaus 16. December 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

After players have completed the main story in Fallout 76 and reached level 50, many ask themselves the question: What should I do now? There’s still plenty to see and do in Appalachia. We’ll show you what level 50 players are up to in the endgame of Fallout 76.

What is the endgame in Fallout 76? Once you reach level 50 in Fallout 76, you can no longer accumulate new S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points as you continue to level up. It’s something like the “max level”, although you can still collect perks.

If you have also completed the main quest with the Enclave quest line, you have gone through the main content of the game and have reached the “endgame”. However, there’s still quite a bit to do here.

Things You Can Do in the Endgame

As a pure online multiplayer, the endgame in Fallout 76 is particularly important for keeping players entertained. Many players have already completed the main story. Here’s a list of things they can do to keep having fun.

Fallout 76: With these tips you can level up your character faster

von Tarek Zehrer

1. Upgrade Your Gear

Most discussions revolve around the grind and the best armor and the best weapons for the endgame of Fallout 76. Most endgame players focus on finding the best weapon for their playstyle and upgrading it as much as possible.

Players roam the world after completing all quests, looking for events or locations where they can obtain recipes or rare items from enemies. Particularly sought after are the legendary weapons of Fallout 76.

As waiting for enemy respawns in Fallout 76 can sometimes be tedious, endgame players use what’s called “server hopping”. They switch servers after a farming round and utilize the respawn on the new server for the next round.

Estimably, most higher-level players spend their gameplay hours farming for new weapons and recipes and improving their gear. If you prefer to play in a team, you’ll definitely find people for a group.

2. Launch Nuclear Missiles

In Appalachia, there are currently three silos for nuclear missiles. These can be used by players to launch nuclear rockets somewhere on the map. You will need a code, an access card, and a cipher to decode.

When a nuclear missile strikes, the impact zone will be contaminated for a while. With the right (and especially strong) gear with high radiation resistance, you can collect the best loot and gather radioactive materials here.

If nuclear missiles are dropped on so-called rifts inhabited by scorchbeasts, a kind of super-boss, a Scorchbeast Queen, will even appear. Fighting the queen is an event for the whole map and offers the toughest battles so far.

3. Explore Appalachia

The vast map of Fallout 76 offers many places to discover. In Appalachia, there are dozens of caves, destroyed towns, and hidden hideouts that you won’t discover through the main quest.

Many players take the time to explore Appalachia even while leveling up. However, those who have only focused on the main quest can still see a lot. Just the side content covering many locations offers over 150 hours of additional content.

However, there are also many places in Appalachia that do not lead to a quest or event. They are mostly remote locations that are hard to reach and provide explorers with quaint scenes or additional information.

If you want to know more about West Virginia or are just looking for something to smile about, you should take a closer look.

4. Level Up Alternative Characters

Playing secondary or tertiary characters is also very popular. Since you cannot simply change your build in Fallout 76, some people play additional characters to try out new builds with new S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and perks.

Whether this will still be necessary in upcoming updates is not entirely clear. Soon, you will have the option to redistribute a skill point at level 50 instead of buying a new perk.

However, players also use alternative characters to acquire caps from traders more easily, to have more storage space, or to farm certain recipes. For example, the blueprint for the handmade rifle is only available to players of levels 15-44.

5. Tinker with Your C.A.M.P.

Fallout 76 offers the possibility to build your own bases and make them whatever you want. You can pack up your camp at any time and set it up elsewhere, allowing you to build your home in new places.

Some players enjoy fine-tuning their own home and want to make it their true virtual residence. They continuously gather more blueprints for building items and materials.

The only limit is the building limit imposed by your C.A.M.P. This can be raised by building with multiple people or at workshops, which you are likely to lose when logging out.

There are also stories of some players who have turned their C.A.M.P.s into starting points for newcomers or real restaurants where they can interact with other players. So you can also build a player hub or meeting place.

6. Engage in Roleplaying

Since Fallout 76 is not only a post-apocalyptic adventure but also a role-playing game, some players have decided to focus on a specific role rather than combat. They think about what kind of person they want to be in post-apocalyptic West Virginia and play that role out.

This leads to entertaining stories, such as one player who embodies one of the most annoying characters in the Fallout series in Fallout 76. Other players are currently even paying homage to the Mothman on reddit or bringing the Children of Atom to life.

However, there is also a dark side to this. A group of players has made it their mission in “roleplaying” to eradicate all gay people from Appalachia. They received a lifetime ban for their actions.

Most players report, however, that the community is incredibly friendly. Therefore, it shouldn’t be too difficult to engage in some hours of amusing role-playing with a clever role.

7. Check Out PvP

A smaller group of people also dedicates themselves to PvP in Fallout 76. Fighting against other players is generally a consensual matter in Fallout 76. Those who do not inflict damage on others take less damage themselves. However, if you kill others, you receive a bounty.

The system has led to PvP in Fallout 76 not receiving much attention. Most people ignore it, and reports suggest that PvP players troll or annoy others rather infrequently.

Nevertheless, there is the option to specifically search for other PvP enthusiasts via radio. For enthusiasts, there are even some discussions on reddit where good weapons for PvP are discussed.

What Could Be Improved?

Even though the endgame of Fallout 76 appears to offer a lot, there is criticism. A few things could be improved or made more pleasant. The most common and recurring criticisms are:

confusing inventory, especially with already existing recipes
issues with server stability
boring endgame bosses, which drop worse loot than ghouls
limitations in building

Some of these issues could be alleviated by mods. However, whether these are really allowed is still unclear. Private servers for Fallout 76 with custom settings are also often requested. But it may take some time before these arrive.

Have you also completed the story? How do you spend the endgame?

Our author Benedict had a lot of fun and some curious moments on his journey. Great quest design in Fallout 76 drove him to despair.

The fresh screenshots of the new pirate MMO Atlas show

Noah Struthoff 15. December 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

Images of the new MMO Atlas have been published on Steam. We show you the new images and take a look at what the fans are saying.

What is Atlas? Atlas is an MMO from Studio Wildcard, the creators of Ark: Survival Evolved. The theme of the game is not dinosaurs, but pirates.

It promises to be an MMO for over 40,000 players on a server. In Atlas, you can sail through a vast game world with your crew and build fortifications on islands.

New images of the game have now been released on Steam.

These images of Atlas have been released

The released images are titled “Captain’s Log” and are intended to provide insight into the gameplay mechanics and the features of the game.

Freeclimber

This is what you see in the image: A woman is climbing on a rock wall with an ice pick. In the background, you can see an epic mountain landscape with houses visible.

This is likely one of the many islands in the game world of Atlas. If you look closely, you’ll also spot some animals that players might encounter.

This is what players think: Some players fear it’s a copy of Ark. The Steam user “rio” writes: “The game looks like a copy of Ark. Am I the only one who sees this?”

The user “Didantic” writes: “Wow, zoom in guys! Do you see the leopard and the three other animals?” In addition to the leopard, players also spot a bear in the image. However, this is not clearly visible.

Contact Point

This is what you see in the image: The image shows a harbor and a ship. The captain of the ship is repairing his vessel while another crew member is buying fishing bait at a stand. In the background, you can see a giant skull as a waterfall.

This is what players think: The user “Wordload” writes on Steam: “I can’t wait to go fishing with my friends!” It will be interesting to see how fishing will work and whether we can eat the fish afterwards. Will we also see a social hub here?

Attack on the Inland Fortress

This is what you see in the image: In the eastern region, an attack on a fortress is taking place. A company is defending its castle wall while a cavalry unit is being supported by a mobile artillery piece.

This is what players think: “Axblade” asks: “Is that a pistol or a sword in the background?” This would be interesting, because then there would be not only swords and guns in the pirate world, but also handguns. Additionally, it is positively noted that “thank goodness you don’t have to play just a pirate, but can also be a knight.”

“Melora22” writes: “Looks like the same build principle as Ark, no round towers, no octagons. I’m still looking forward to it.”

This is what you see in the image: This shows the other side of the battle. Soldiers are defending their castle wall against attackers with rifles and cannons.

This is what players think: The user “Scavenger” asks about this image: “Will there be a Gatling gun?” referring to the weapon in the background. This weapon could be a strong weapon for defending fortresses.

Honor Code

This is what you see in the image: A fighter is reloading his revolver with gunpowder. On the other side of the bridge stands his opponent. Skill is required for reloading.

This is what players think: On Steam, “Bane-Chan” writes: “Oh yes, there are duels! But will there be communication among players, so I can insult my opponent after I shoot him? Just like pirates did centuries ago!”

This is what you see in the image: After reloading the pistol, it’s time for battle. Whoever is the fastest wins. Here, the opposing duelist is shot with two loaded pistols.

This is what players think: “TotallyUncool” writes: “I love the weapons I’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to see more!”

Through the Air

This is what you see in the image: You can see several players flying through the air with gliders. It seems that you can fly in Atlas. In the background, there is a stone-carved figure and further insights into the game world.

This is what players think: On Steam, “IsilithTehroth” writes: “Please don’t add anything for flying. It should be about naval battles and sailing.” If you could truly fly, it would be another method of movement besides sailing.

Alongside many negative opinions about flying, “Qc_Ragnarok1985″ adds: “It doesn’t look like flying to me, but like gliding. So it’s not too overpowered. I like it!”

What do you think of the images? Are you excited for Atlas?

The creators of Atlas have delayed the release of the game. Here you can read the background to this.

Microtransactions divide the community of Red Dead Online

Irina Moritz 15. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The microtransactions in Red Dead Online continue to be a major point of contention in the community. It splits fans into two major camps: one group of players is against the monetization of the game, while another finds the purchasable gold not so bad.

What are microtransactions? This means that you can buy in-game currency for real money to acquire virtual items in Red Dead Online with the game money.

Didn’t you expect this? It was clear to everyone that Red Dead Online would implement a microtransaction system.

After GTA V became the commercially most successful entertainment product of all time, no one expected Rockstar to abandon this lucrative revenue opportunity.

However, players had hoped that the microtransactions in RDO would not be as bad as in GTA Online.

Accordingly, there was great outrage when it became clear that various items in the online mode cost up to twelve times their offline equivalents.

To appease fans, Rockstar adjusted the prices and gave all beta participants a chunk of gold bars. While this measure could pacify some fans, others remain dissatisfied.

Players argue over the cash shop

This is why players are still dissatisfied: A user on Reddit calculated that even after the price adjustment, one must grind for over 4000 hours to be able to buy all items from the shop without microtransactions.

For many players, that is still too expensive.

They are also dissatisfied with the status of the beta, which is still full of bugs and problems. The thread titled “Microtransactions are here. They are crap as always. People, don’t buy it. Show Rockstar and Take Two that this is not what we want” has over 45,000 upvotes in the RDR subreddit.

Another argument is based on the experiences made with GTA Online. The game did not receive a single story DLC over the years, such as “The Ballad of Gay Tony” from GTA IV.

Instead, GTA Online was flooded with new cosmetics. This is what players fear will happen with Red Dead Online now.

Some memes and comparisons to other games have also arisen. For example, the DLC Blood and Wine from Witcher 3 was taken as a point of comparison:

witcher 3 blood and wine dlc — A large DLC pack costs just as much as 55 gold bars in RDO

More on the topic

How much do gold bars cost now in € in Red Dead Online

von Tarek Zehrer

This is why some players say microtransactions are okay: There are also fans who believe that the microtransactions in Red Dead Online are okay.

Some players are even annoyed by the ongoing outrage over the prices in the cash shop.

This group of players believes that the grind is justified because you have to earn the items in online mode. According to them, those who complain want everything handed to them.

Some other fans believe that no one should dictate how they spend their money. “I’ve invested a hell of a lot of time into Rockstar Games. If I want to spend my own money for more, I will,” said user mccannz1.

Another argument from the more moderate players is that Red Dead Online needs to finance itself and its future content somehow. Therefore, the prices are justified. Moreover, it is still in beta and much can change about the shop before launch.

Which of the two opinions is more common? Although the opponents of microtransactions constitute the majority in the community, there is still a large number of fans who find the cash shop either not so bad or even necessary.

What do you think? Are the prices too high or is the grind justified because you have to earn the items?

If you want to get by without microtransactions:

Destiny 2 rewards “veterans”, annoys the most loyal players with it

Schuhmann 15. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 the promised reward for “Veterans” finally arrives next week. However, some of the most loyal players find what Bungie is doing quite ridiculous. How Bungie uses the term “Veteran” here is displeasing to long-time players.

This is what happened: Bungie announced in “This week at Bungie” that with the next patch on Tuesday, it will be the time: Players will receive a Veteran reward, the “Hunt Veterans” package (engl. Veterans of the Hunt Bundle).

This is included in the package: The package contains a handful of cosmetic rewards. These are as follows:

Two exotic emotes
Fireteam Medallions
Unique shaders
And unique emblems

Why are there these Veteran rewards? This is because Bungie decided in October that the two DLCs “Curse of Osiris” and “Warmind” no longer need to be purchased separately, but are part of the “Forsaken Bundle”.

As compensation for Guardians who unnecessarily spent money to buy the two DLCs before Forsaken, this Veteran package was conceived, which for some reason took 2 months to materialize.

Who gets the package? Everyone who played Forsaken before October 10, 2018, will receive it. Players are expected to receive the package after the patch goes live on Tuesday, December 18. At some point in the course of the evening.

Why this is frustrating for some Guardians: Some players who have been playing Destiny for years are upset that Bungie refers to people as “Veterans” who have been playing for less than 3 months.

More on the topic

After 16 months break: This is how Destiny 1 feels today

von Robert Albrecht

Many Guardians who have been playing Destiny since 2014 wish that their time in the game would be more honored and that they would be marked as veterans in Destiny 2.

They were only provided with some rewards in 2017.

This is what players are saying on MeinMMO: We reported on the next patch on MeinMMO and there are some remarks in the comments about the veteran rewards that we have only touched on lightly.

User jakob says: “So you get a veteran package,” if you played Destiny 2 before October 16, 2018? That alone annoys me again. I can’t understand Bungie. I only consider day-one players or Destiny 1 players as veterans, but oh well.”
User vvV AmNesiaA Vvv says: “I find the term veteran rewards totally misplaced in this case, given the qualification criteria. In the end, it should rather be called pain compensation rewards.

However, some veterans express themselves quite kindly or simply misappropriate the items.

User KingK claims the emblem for himself: “My Titan is so severely branded with the veteran emblem that he can never take it off again. And I forbid everyone else to use it. Especially the Hunters.”
Ace Ffm adds: “For the veteran package, I’m happy to interrupt my current Destiny break and will promptly appear at the Tower next Tuesday. I’ve been looking forward to it for too long. The color scheme is just my taste.”

What’s behind this: It’s a minor issue and surely there is no malicious intent behind Bungie. But it also shows that for some players it’s important how much time they have spent with Destiny.

They see themselves as “the true veterans” and are proud of this title.

Subnautica – How good is the survival game that is now available for free on Epic

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Epic Games has challenged Steam with its own launcher. To attract players, one of the best survival games is now free on the Epic Games Store: Subnautica is free.

What is Subnautica? Subnautica is a survival game set in the depths of the ocean. You are stranded on an alien planet and explore vast oceans filled with dangerous sea creatures. Bases can be built underwater for exploration and survival.

During vertical exploration, you will face more challenges than in most survival games: Oxygen and pressure are critical factors for survival.

This is how much you save compared to Steam: Subnautica is currently offered at Epic’s new store, which is said to be a competitor to Steam. Those who want to try can get Subnautica for free until December 27 and save almost €21. Otherwise, the game costs currently €20.99 on Steam.

Subnautical for free – is it worth it?

This is how the community rates Subnautica: On Steam, Subnautica is one of the highest-rated games overall.

It boasts an “extremely positive” rating (98%, as of December 15 at 15:30) in the last 3 days and a “very positive” rating (94%) across all reviews.

This is what makes the game so good: One of the most praised aspects of the game is the environment. The beautifully designed underwater world offers a change from other scenarios like forests and deserts. Some players even feel like they’re on a “short vacation”.

The story also drives many to keep playing. They want to find out if they are really the only survivors, explore the world, and discover what the planet is about. The atmosphere enhances the gaming experience.

The most frequently mentioned criticisms are the lack of multiplayer and the fact that Epic is now offering the game for free. Some players are therefore requesting refunds on Steam.

This is how Subnautica plays: Subnautica is in many ways a classic survival game. It features core attributes of the genre:

Exploration
Building
Survival

In Subnautica, however, you are not allowed to build bases together with other players or make survival easier. You are “stranded” alone and must survive alone.

Subnautica differs from other survival games in that you do not get real weapons to defend yourself or kill aggressive fauna. The developers do not want any weapons in the game.

Additionally, you have a variety of technical equipment available, such as diving capsules, to dive deeper into the ocean. Solid ground is rare beneath your feet.

Who is the offer worth it for? Subnautica is a top-notch survival experience for those who enjoy feeling helpless and frightened. Alone, underwater, and on an alien planet. The creepy atmosphere of Subnautica has many fans. And hey, it’s free. So you can’t go wrong by trying it out.

If what you celebrate in survival games is primarily surviving with friends or forming clans to fight others, then Subnautica is not for you.

Pokémon GO: You can defeat Tyranitar and Absol solo – Here’s how

Noah Struthoff 15. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, videos show that you can now defeat Absol and Tyranitar alone. The 4-star raids were previously only possible with two players. But how are players defeating the raids alone now?

It seems incredible, but you can now complete the first Level 4 raids alone. Players have succeeded in defeating Tyranitar and Absol without a partner. But why is that suddenly possible?

This is why it is feasible: Pokémon GO has made the very effective attacks even stronger. They now deal more damage.

Therefore, with the right Pokémon, it is possible to defeat both raid bosses alone.

Videos show how to defeat Tyranitar and Absol solo

This is how to defeat Tyranitar: In the first video, we show you the player “BenMupi”, who manages to defeat Tyranitar alone. He fights with six Machoke at level 40.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

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

Things to watch out for: Anyone wishing to defeat Tyranitar alone needs cloudy weather. Fighting-type Pokémon are boosted in this weather and can deal more damage to Tyranitar. Without this weather bonus it is probably not possible.

Can I do it too? Tyranitar has double weakness to Fighting type. If you have six Machoke at level 40, you should also be able to defeat it alone.

Pay attention to the right weather and use the following trick: Create an empty battle team and enter the fight with it. You can select a new battle team right at the start of the fight. Then take your Machoke and enter the battle. You’ll save valuable seconds at the start.

This is how trainers solo defeat Absol in Pokémon GO

This is how to defeat Absol: The second video shows how the trainer “DarkestDavid” completes the Level 4 raid alone. Absol might be slightly easier to defeat than Tyranitar, but expert players are still needed here.

Things to watch out for: Here too, it is crucial to keep an eye on the cloudy weather. Again, Machoke is the best counter here, which is boosted in this weather. Without this weather, it is not possible to defeat Absol.

Can I do it too? It is also important here to have the team of six level 40 Machoke. Without this counter, it is not possible to defeat Absol. If you have this team, then try your luck with Absol. It should be somewhat easier than Tyranitar.

Custom Games are coming to Black Ops 4: Blackout for Beginners

Schuhmann 15. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Developer Treyarch has announced that starting next week “Custom Games” will be available for the Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Private Matches are supposed to give players the opportunity to get acquainted with Blackout or happily shoot friends.

Treyarch has announced this: Currently, the developers of Call of Duty are in a real announcement frenzy. It is noticeable that Black Ops 4 is meant to be regularly changed and expanded like a “Games as a service” title.

On Reddit, the current plans have been presented and what will come next week: Private Matches for Blackout.

More on the topic

Black Ops 4: How to use the first armed vehicle in Blackout

von Jürgen Horn

This is what Custom Games are for: The Blackout Custom Games are designed to allow players to enter private matches to explore the map and objectives at their own pace. In Fortnite, the “Creative Mode” serves for such tutorial experiences.

Blackout is actually a ruthless mode for 100 players – in private matches, newcomers can take it easy. Or experienced players can just shoot each other with up to 11 friends. Three squads of 4 can also compete against each other.

So Private Matches serve as a tutorial: Players are to have the chance to enjoy the “battle royale” experience of Blackout together with their friends. They do not have to rush or be rushed but can explore the map at their own pace.

The Blackout mode will not take place with 100 players, but only with a maximum of 12. However, the Custom Games are expected to grow and evolve over time.

This is how Treyarch plans to gradually allow more players and implement more features.

Custom Games as “XXS” Blackout for practice

This is how the Custom Games start: Initially, Blackout in Black Ops 4 offers as a Custom Game:

Room for up to 12 players per match
Solo, Duo, or Quads
support for “Weapon Camo”
full character customization

The mode is only playable online

Weapon Camouflages come to Blackout

What is Weapon Camo? These are camouflages. Players can earn these camouflages in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Blackout modes and then set them in the Armory.

When they find the weapon in-game, the camouflage is automatically applied.

The camos themselves are nothing new – but what is new is that they are coming to the Blackout mode.

When is all this coming? This is still not entirely clear. During the week starting December 17, one can probably expect the update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

So will out of nowhere Discord become the new alternative to Steam

Irina Moritz 15. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

In a blog post, Discord announced that the popular app will expand its store in 2019. It aims to become a “Game Publishing Platform” that wants to compete with Steam and the new Epic Store.

What has happened? After Discord secured dominance in the VOIP area, it is now moving to the next offensive. In 2019, the company wants to further develop its store into a Game Publishing Platform and offer developers a way to publish their games there.

In doing so, Discord also took jabs at the current monopoly holder, Steam. As stated in the blog post: “We asked ourselves many questions. Why does it cost 30% of the revenue to publish games? […] It turned out, […] it doesn’t.”

This is what Discord offers to game companies

What will the Discord store offer? After Epic with their new store promised developers an 88% share of their revenue from game sales, Discord takes it a step further.

The company promises the devs a 90/10 revenue split, regardless of whether they are indies or large AAA corporations.

The 10% that will go to Discord is only meant to cover operational costs. In the future, the company aims to work towards reducing this number even further by working more efficiently and developing better publishing tools.

This is what Discord developers say: Discord also makes an effort to stay in touch with players from their community. In the discussion thread about the store on Reddit, several developers and employees of Discord are present and answering user questions.

Here are some examples:

According to the statement from the product designer “Daniel-at-Discord,” iOS and Linux systems will also be supported by the store.
Player refunds should work quickly and easily, without providing the IP or going through support as an intermediate step.
Since the store is already integrated into the Discord app, players won’t have to download another launcher.
The patcher and downloader of the store are said to be extremely CPU efficient, says co-developer “ReallyAmused.”
The download servers for patching are selected by the system to best suit the user.
To avoid Discord becoming too “bloated” with the new features, the store will be treated as a kind of “app within the app.” This means that as long as the user is not explicitly in the store section, they will not notice it. Neither visually nor performance-wise, because it doesn’t need to be loaded from the PC.

More details about this will follow soon in official announcements.

This is how players react

What do gamers say? On Reddit, the announcement is a big topic. While the news about the store was very well received in the Discord subreddit, gamers in /r/games are more cautious with their expectations.

One of the users said: “I bet your store is not going as well as you expected, despite the exclusive contracts like with Epic.”

Many are also relieved that there will not be an additional launcher, but only an extension for the existing Discord app. Overall, the hype is rather limited, although people do think it’s good that more companies are challenging Steam’s monopoly.

Pokémon GO: Trainer battles are live – Here’s how the new PvP is received

Lucas Kaczynski 15. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Just in time for the release of the new PvP feature for Pokémon GO players have left a lot of feedback on Reddit. How are the Trainer Battles being received by the players?

The Trainer Battles are currently plagued by some issues. In addition, players have collected feedback and hope that Niantic will make improvements soon. Nonetheless, players are excited about the Trainer Battles.

There is still room for improvement

The majority of players like the new PvP feature. However, they would like some additions to the existing system.

What the players wish for:

Players should have the option to view the attacks of their Pokémon before selecting them for a battle against other players.
Many players initially had trouble finding the menu in the app where they can challenge other players. Some players searched for 10 to 15 minutes. This could be handled differently. For example, gyms could offer the option to battle other players from there.
Players wish to be able to battle random other players to try out new team combinations or simply to pass the time.

The button to activate shields in battle is currently in the same position as the super attacks. Some players accidentally activated their shield because of this.
Bugs are still plaguing the PvP battles. Players wish for their removal.
Children are currently locked out of part of the PvP feature. They can challenge the team leaders, but cannot battle against other players.

von Noah Struthoff

The PvP feature is being received very positively

What the players find great:

Players had to wait a long time for Trainer Battles to arrive. The arrival of the feature is liked by many players.
They also like the implementation of a new combat system. The combat system is a combination of the Pokémon GO combat system and the turn-based combat system from the old Pokémon games.

Overall, the mood among players is positive. They look forward to future additions to the PvP system and hope that Niantic will soon resolve existing issues.

How do you like the new Trainer Battles?

HotS professionals feel betrayed by Blizzard and fear for their existence

Cortyn 15. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The professional players of Heroes of the Storm are angry at Blizzard. Many professional players and also casters have basically lost their income overnight.

On Friday we reported that Heroes of the Storm has pulled some developers away to work on other projects in the future. As a result, updates and content will appear at a “different frequency” – likely significantly less often.

At the same time, Blizzard canceled two of the biggest eSports tournaments of Heroes of the Storm. Especially the cancellation of the HGC (Heroes Global Championship) poses massive problems for many players.

Why are the professional players disappointed? The professional players of Heroes of the Storm received the news just as spontaneously as all other fans.

There were no indications beforehand that the upcoming tournaments would be canceled. They are frustrated to have learned from a blog post that their existence as eSports athletes or casters is now at risk.

What is particularly annoying is that there were essentially already “qualifications” for the HGC, such as the Crucible tournament. Many players were excited to have finally completed their qualifications after years of practicing and now find themselves in a game without a functioning eSports scene.

Blizzard assured at BlizzCon about its continued existence: Players like Kala, who expresses his displeasure in a stream and on YouTube, are particularly angry. He and others feel deceived by Blizzard because, even at BlizzCon, employees apparently told them that the HGC would take place in 2019 “without major changes”.

Can you understand the frustration of the professional players? Or is it a logical step to pull developers away when a project is no longer running? What would you do in the place of the professional players?

How many are still working on Heroes of the Storm? There has been little response from the developers in the meantime. Although it has already been said on Reddit that they want to share new information with all players in the coming days and assured that they are more than just a “skeleton team”.

A skeleton team or core team only takes care of keeping the game running but does not create new content. This would not be the case with Heroes of the Storm.

Is the executive change to blame? Since the professional players also assumed at BlizzCon that the tournaments would continue, many players suspect that this has to do with the executive change at Blizzard.

Heroes of the Storm Orphea title fitting

It is rumored that Activision is increasingly taking influence and that this has dramatic implications at Blizzard now. However, this has not been confirmed.

Can you understand the frustration of the professional players? Or is it a logical step to pull developers away when a project is no longer running? What would you do in the place of the professional players?

Whoever visits these 5 places in Fallout 76 needs strong nerves

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2018 Reading time 5 minutes

Appalachia is vast and desolate after the bombings. For Fallout 76, this means there are many places that can send a chill down your spine. MeinMMO shows you some of them.

Exploring Appalachia is one of the most popular activities for many players. After all, Fallout 76 has many special places to offer. However, during exploration, you may also encounter scenes that are a bit macabre, maybe even downright eerie.

It should be noted beforehand: If you can’t handle images of death and skeletons, you might want to avoid taking a closer look at the houses and areas of Appalachia and instead focus on funnier stories from Fallout 76.

A Campfire of Bears

The first location on our list is still largely harmless for a start – at least at first glance. After all, stuffed animals and garden gnomes make an appearance. But they have also been the inspiration for horror movies. Pet Sematary says hello.

East of Ash Heap, there is an abandoned camp where several beer bottles and fire pits tell the story of what might have happened here in the past. One of these campfires, however, is adorned with gruesome details.

On the pile of charred logs, colorful teddy bears and a few garden gnomes are scattered around. Next to it, on a pallet, a red gas canister and a torch are already waiting for their use.

Around the fire, in some small blue boxes, sit more bears watching the spectacle. Or perhaps they are merely observing the stagnant fate that might have befallen them as well. Luckily for them, most people are no longer alive.

Pokémon GO announces event with Shnebedeck and Mampfaxo

Noah Struthoff 15. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The Christmas event 2018 in Pokémon GO has been announced. This year you can look forward to new Pokémon like Shnebedeck and Mampfaxo – additionally, Shiny Botogel will be available for Christmas in Pokémon GO.

In 2018, Pokémon GO is hosting a Christmas event. You will receive bonuses and have the chance to catch new Pokémon throughout the holidays. During the Christmas season, one event follows another.

We will reveal what to expect and when the events will start

Christmas Event 2018 – What to Expect

When does the event start? From December 18 to January 2, trainers have the opportunity to receive great bonuses. These bonuses change every four days, and a new bonus awaits you. Here are the bonuses you can expect:

December 18 to 22: You will receive double the amount of candies when catching and sending Pokémon
December 22 to 26: You will receive double the amount of stardust when catching Pokémon
December 26 to 30: You will receive double the amount of XP when catching Pokémon
December 30 to January 2: You will hatch eggs twice as fast

At what time do the events start? If Niantic stays true to their style, the event will start on December 18 at 10 PM. Then the bonuses should change on December 22 at 10 PM. However, this is not confirmed yet, just speculation.

This is another bonus: During the entire event period, you will receive a free incubator each day that you can use once. You will receive it by spinning a PokéStop.

Which Pokémon will appear more frequently? In their announcement, Niantic mentioned the following Pokémon that will appear more frequently:

Botogel
Rossana
Sniebel
Seemops
Quiekel
Schneppke
Pikachu with Christmas hat
Shnebedeck (available for capture for the first time)

These Pokémon will hatch from eggs: In addition to all the Pokémon that spawn in the wild, you can get the following Pokémon from 7 km eggs:

Azurill
Kussilla
Mampfaxo (available for the first time)

These Pokémon could additionally appear: In the image published in addition to the announcement, you can also see the Pokémon Klingplim and Glibunkel:

Klingplim, the pre-evolution of Palimpalim, could be available exclusively in eggs.
Glibunkel could also spawn in the wild.

The Pokémon have not been officially confirmed yet and are only visible in the image.

Are there new Shinies? Pokémon has already confirmed that Botogel will be catchable in its shiny form. Schneppke is also a Pokémon that can be shiny.

After Magby and Elekid are found as shiny variants in the 7 km eggs, one could also assume that Azurill and Kussilla will hatch as shiny from the eggs.

There will be new legendary Pokémon: The announcement image reveals something else: The legendary lake trio Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf will soon be introduced in Pokémon GO. It can be assumed that the three legendary psychic Pokémon will replace the current raid boss Cresselia. This will disappear on December 18.

We will provide you with more detailed information about the three legendaries in a future article. Stay tuned.

Are you looking forward to the Christmas event?

In connection with the Christmas event, Niantic has released new offer boxes. They are quite good.

WoW: Horde and Alliance can communicate with each other from now on [Update]

Cortyn 14. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of World of Warcraft are breaking down the language barrier. Soon, Horde and Alliance will be able to understand and speak to each other!

Update: The potion is now live! You can purchase it from Fizzi Liver Shock in the sewers of Dalaran (Legion)!

Original message: In a new “Developer Q&A”, the Game Director of World of Warcraft, Ion Hazzikostas, spoke about a small but nice change that will go live soon. Players of the Horde and Alliance will soon be able to speak to each other! This will likely be enabled through a new potion that allows players to understand the language of the opposing faction.

What was announced? The developers want to introduce a new potion that is especially designed to help role-players. Drinking this potion will allow players to understand the languages of the opposing faction for a while – but not to speak. Therefore, both players will need to drink the potion to understand each other. This ensures that no one is “forced” to listen to the opposing faction. It is mainly intended to prevent insults, especially in PvP.

What triggered it? The reason for the introduction of this potion was a change that Patch 8.1 had implemented. Because of the patch, a specific addon that was primarily used by role-players no longer functioned. This addon allowed receiving messages from the opposing faction via Battle.net chat and translating them in-game appropriately. Thus, role-players from Horde and Alliance could communicate and engage in role-play together. This was no longer possible after the patch.

When will the potion be available? There is not yet an exact date for the potion. However, Hazzikostas mentioned that it will likely be patched into the game “sometime this weekend”. It is still unclear where exactly it will be available, but Hazzikostas assumes it will be sold in the sewers of Dalaran.

What do you think of this change? Is it good, and will you use it regularly? Or should the language barrier remain?

Fortnite is finally removing the sword – players cheer

Schuhmann 14. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Developer Epic has softened their stance regarding Fortnite. After continuous complaints, they are completely and immediately removing the “Infinity Blade” sword from the game. Fans are celebrating this decision.

This is what happened: Just a few minutes ago, Epic announced that they have now completely removed the sword from Fortnite.

Epic says: Sorry, we messed up

This is what Epic says: Epic apologizes for the mistake. The Infinity Blade was way too strong. And there were no good counter-options for it.

The weapon has now been removed from the game and they will review the approach to the new mythical weapons.

Originally, Epic planned to bring more overpowered and special weapons like the sword to Fortnite. Apparently, those plans are now on hold.

Epic thanks the players for pointing out the mistakes.

This is how fans are reacting: Within just a few minutes, the tweet received over 9490 likes and is spreading around the world.

16 minutes later, the thread stands at over 28,000 likes.

Whoever possesses the sword is the new king of Fortnite

von Jürgen Horn

Actually, the weapon was supposed to stay

Here’s the background: This is an astonishing development. Just last night, Epic had announced, that they would only slightly nerf the sword. In the next update 7.1, it should no longer be possible to build structures or harvest resources while carrying the powerful sword.

However, the decision faced strong rejection from the players and especially from the pros. They demanded that Epic either completely remove the sword from Fortnite or put it in its own Limited Time Mode.

Apparently, the protest was so significant that Epic has now given in to it.

This is what’s behind it: The “Infinity Blade” drastically changes Fortnite. The weapon can only be found once per match, but grants the player who carries it superhuman abilities.

Apparently, the sword was simply too much of a break from the original Fortnite that many have been playing for months. Especially because the sword was active in every mode of Fortnite and attracted a lot of attention, players took to the barricades.

We reported on the conflict behind the weapon here:

Asus sees future in mobile gaming, thus changing strategy

Norman Wittkopf 14. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

As part of a restructuring, hardware manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (Asus) aims to realign its smartphone division and focus more on models for gamers and power users.

Only gaming smartphones? Asus smartphone models, such as the ZenFone series, have not been able to capture significant market shares due to strong competition among various manufacturers.

This October, with the launch of the Asus ROG Phone, the first model specifically aimed at gamers from its own house was introduced, which the company apparently sees as its future: From now on, it wants to focus “primarily on gamers and power users” in smartphones, as reported by the industry service Digitimes.

This can be read between the lines: While the previous smartphone models from Asus could not achieve significant sales figures, it seems that the Asus ROG Phone is already starting to pay off shortly after its launch – or at least is the most promising. Therefore, a focus on this segment appears logical.

Restructuring initially costly: To cover losses from inventory, write-offs on advance payments, and costs from corporate reorganization, an amount of approximately 178.1 million Euros is to be spent.

As a result, it is expected that Asus’s overall profitability will reach a new low in 2018, since it spun off the contract manufacturer Pegatron in 2010.

What about other Asus hardware? All departments outside of the smartphone division are expected to generate profits in the fourth quarter and keep the company overall profitable. Ultimately, the one-time expenses for restructuring are also intended to make the smartphone division successful in the long term.

Success in gaming notebooks, aiming for new business field

Asus claims to have closed gaps in its gaming product range this year, leading to an increase in the sales of gaming notebooks over the year, with an annual growth of 20 percent.

Expansion goal: For 2019, Asus plans to enhance its marketing in certain markets, such as the USA and the Asia-Pacific region, and expects to take leading positions in both regions.

Change in management: After 25 years with the company and 11 years as CEO and President, Jerry Shen will leave the company at the end of December.

He will be succeeded by SY Hsu and Samson Hu as co-leads in management, who previously led the PC business and the global customer service business, respectively.

AI and IoT as a new pillar: In addition to realigning its smartphone division, Asus aims to become a leading player in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) within the next three years.

To this end, the company plans to invest approximately 287.5 million Euros. In addition to further investments and acquisitions, it is also to take a 30 percent stake in the new company of the departing CEO, which focuses on these areas.

Ashes of Creation shows PvE in the live stream – What’s new

Alexander Leitsch 14. December 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of Ashes of Creation gave insights into the PvE of the MMORPG during a livestream. Several new features and UI elements were presented that had not been available in the previous alpha phase.

In recent weeks, much of the discussion around Ashes of Creation has revolved around the Standalone Apocalypse, which will be released on December 18. Consequently, we also speculated whether the actual MMORPG is now at risk.

In contrast, there was only a roughly 30-minute livestream with studio founder Steve Sharif. Among other things, a further developed town, the combat system, and initial quests were showcased. For many, this was likely the first glimpse into PvE.

These are the new features for Alpha-Zero

What’s new with the Node system? The nodes are the core content of Ashes of Creation. During the livestream, a level 5 city out of 6 was shown. While there was already node expansion in the first alpha, new is an interface that informs about all the specifics and the systems behind the city.

In the interface, you can see for example:

the progress in expanding the city
who the mayor is
how many people live there
taxes collected for the city’s expansion
core functions like alliances, trade alliances, and potential enemies.

Generally, Ashes of Creation focuses on Node vs. Node combat. Therefore, only cities that one has formally declared war on can be attacked. Allies can support you in these wars.

A new feature is also the “Troops” stationed in cities. It is still unclear how to recruit them and whether they will defend the city in the event of an attack. They may also only be intended for the PvE part of the horde attacks.

More on the topic

WoW soll jeden ansprechen, Ashes of Creation nur MMORPG-Fans

von Andreas Bertits

Quests with a proper interface: Also new is the quest interface and the way in which quests are received. There are no longer simple hubs where NPCs gather with tasks.

As you wander through the world, these tasks suddenly appear because help from the players is needed at that specific location. In the screenshot, you can see what such a task looks like and that all tasks are collected in a quest log.

How does the combat system work? A lot was discussed about the combat system during the livestream. This was largely a copy-paste of the system from Apocalypse.

Nevertheless, the announced hybrid system is already identifiable. This creates a mix of tab-targeting and action combat systems. However, some issues arose during the livestream, causing developers to inadvertently harm each other with certain skills.

New information about professions: On a bridge, the developers randomly passed by a fisherman. He had the task of catching a specific fish, providing hints about when during the day it could be found and how difficult it is to catch.

However, they could not show us more as the developers did not carry the appropriate equipment with them.

You can watch the complete recording of the livestream on YouTube:

How can I play Ashes of Creation?

You can only play the MMORPG in its current alpha phase if you buy into it with a founder’s package. However, the standalone PvP game Apocalypse will be released in a few days.

What is Ashes of Creation Apocalypse? Apocalypse is a PvP offshoot that you can play for free. At launch, there will be a battle royale mode, and further modes like a siege are already planned.

The release is scheduled for December 18. Content earned in Apocalypse can also be transferred to the later main game.

Pokémon GO: Kids are excluded from PvP

Lucas Kaczynski 14. December 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO players can finally challenge each other to battles. However, children are locked out of player-versus-player battles.

What happened? In Pokémon GO, players with a child account are locked out of most new PvP features. While they can challenge the team leaders, they cannot compete against other players .

What are child accounts? Child accounts are for players under 13 years old and are meant to protect them. Niantic recommends parents use the safety portal “Niantic Kids”. There, they can monitor their children’s playtime and enable or disable certain features.

Children cannot battle against other players

Here’s the reason: Children could come into direct contact with potentially much older and unfamiliar people for the new PvP battles. Therefore, Niantic has completely blocked the feature for child accounts.

However, it is still possible for children to fight against the leaders of the three teams in Pokémon GO. These are virtual NPC characters in the game that provide trainers with new tasks among other things. For this, they receive Stardust and have a chance for rare items every day.

pvp 7 — Currently, children are only limited to battles against the team leaders.

This is how players react to the parental controls

There is understanding: Players understand that Niantic implements these protective measures for children. They do not want children exposed to any dangers.

Some see problems: Other players fear that Niantic would encourage parents to cheat on their children’s age information. After all, children would have either no or only limited access to some features of the game . In this way, children cannot trade with other players or have no access to the “friends feature”.

Suggestions from the community: Some players suggest slightly limiting the child protection. For example, it should be possible for parents to unlock certain trusted individuals in Pokémon GO for their children. Then younger players would also have a chance to play with peers or relatives.
