How Battlefield 5 wants to make everyone happy with the Time to Kill

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In Battlefield 5, changes to the Time to Kill are occurring with the update on December 11. DICE is aiming to make as many players happy as possible with a feature. The ultimate question is: How fast should Battlefield 5 be?

What happened? A few weeks ago, DICE announced that changes to the Time to Kill (TTK) and Time till Death (TTD) in Battlefield 5 would be coming soon. It is about how quickly players die in Battlefield 5.

This announcement has since sparked heated and controversial discussions among numerous fans. While many fans consider the current status quo optimal, there are many who demand a higher TTK. They want to live longer.

What will change: As the developers recently announced in an official update in the Battlefield forum, the first adjustments to the TTK and TTD in Battlefield 5 will come on December 12.

Players should then already be able to notice the first significant changes to the TTK/TTD damage model.

Today, the TTK will likely be in stronger focus. As DICE announced, today’s changes will have a direct impact on the Time to Kill throughout the game, thereby providing a more balanced gaming experience for all players.

Since the TTK and TTD are closely interconnected, improvements to the Time till Death are also being worked on simultaneously. These pertain to netcode as well as damage and health feedback, according to the developers.

The list of specific changes is expected to be provided later today.

This is how Battlefield 5 aims to make everyone happy: The upcoming changes have been controversially discussed for some time. However, even as the calls for adjustments to the TTK and TTD have increased, the developers have not overlooked the fact that many players prefer the current state of the damage model.

Therefore, DICE is leaving the choice to the fans regarding how they want to play. For this purpose, a new playlist has been designed, which goes live today – “Conquest Core”.

BF5 E3 5

There, players will still be able to play with the previous TTK model. This playlist is expected to evolve over time and represents the first step towards the traditional hardcore experience of Battlefield 5.

In the other playlists and modes, the first changes to the TTK and TTD will already be active today. The developers encourage all players to try out the new playlist and make a direct comparison with the new adjustments. This feedback is enormously important for the further development of the game, according to DICE.

What exactly is Time-to-Kill? Time-to-Kill (abbreviated TTK) refers to the time required to eliminate an opponent with a particular weapon while at full health.

What exactly is Time till Death? Time till Death (abbreviated TTD) is the time from your full health until death.

WoW: Patch 8.1 Waves of Vengeance is live – What you need to know

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The latest patch for World of Warcraft is now live. We will tell you what has changed in Tides of Vengeance.

After long weeks of waiting, the latest patch of World of Warcraft is finally live. As of today (12.12.2018), players can dive into patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance and experience new content in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

WoW Tyrande Anduin angry title

Many things are available immediately: Numerous contents can be experienced right from day one. These include:

  • The new Warfront Darkshore. The Alliance can immediately gather resources, while the Horde controls Darkshore and can complete world quests there.
  • The faction incursions – Various areas will be subject to faction attacks that offer new world quests
  • The Azerite vendor is here. Those who wish can specifically farm Azerite armor and be prepared for any eventuality.

Many contents will come later: Many contents of the patch will, however, only be unlocked in the coming weeks and months. For example, the raid “Battle of Dazar’alor” will not begin until late January. Then, the new PvP season will also start, and the difficulty of all dungeons will be increased.

There is also a second raid under the Shrine of the Storm – but we will probably have to wait until Spring 2019 for that.

WoW Patch 81 Promo Screen 2

Fans are disappointed: Many players are already disappointed with the patch before they have even played it. This is because Blizzard has not addressed fundamental issues, and some classes are still waiting for their revamp, which was intended for patch 8.1. For these players, WoW is probably only interesting again when the next major patch arrives.

If you want more information about the detailed changes of patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, we refer you to our large overview of patch 8.1.

Are you enjoying patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance and checking back regularly? Or have you turned your back on WoW and will only return with the next expansion?

Fortnite: MontanaBlack donates 3000€ to streamers – People love it

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Streaming on Twitch is not just for Fortnite giants like Ninja, but also for smaller streamers. They have now been supported by the well-known German YouTuber MontanaBlack. The video is very popular on YouTube – the format is already established in the USA.

What does the clip show? The YouTuber “MontanaBlack” says in the video that he wants to bless lesser-known Fortnite streamers on Twitch and feature them. For this, he watches their streams and donates hundreds of euros to the streamers without prior notice.

The video suddenly landed in the trends on YouTube and had over 600,000 views after just 20 hours.

This is what the action is about: There are hundreds of Fortnite streamers on Twitch. It’s hard to stand out from the large crowd, MontanaBlack finds. That’s why he supported smaller streamers again this time.

On the one hand, they receive a donation from the YouTuber, and on the other hand, he provides the streamers with subscribers and visibility. Through his videos that MontanaBlack uploads, the streamers gain additional reach.

In the second round, things went much better for the streamer. She got 5 kills, which cost MontanaBlack 1000 euros. With each kill she got, the YouTuber hoped even more that she would be eliminated. In total, he donated 1450 euros to the young streamer.

Role model: US YouTuber Mr. Beast

How did MontanaBlack come up with this idea? It is an established format where a “famous streamer” donates a lot of money to lesser-known people on Twitch. The YouTuber “Mr. Beast” is known for this and has made a name for himself.

His video where he donates $100,000 to a “random Fortnite streamer” has nearly 20 million views. Mr. Beast has built a career with this. His YouTube channel has over 12 million subscribers.

How did the streamers react: The streamers could hardly believe the actions. On the one hand, they receive a lot of money as a gift, and on the other hand, their channel gains significantly more reach.

The streamers reacted in shock, but also very positively to the donation.

Streamer makes YouTuber sweat

This streamer made MontanaBlack sweat: When the YouTuber MontanaBlack visits the Twitch account of the streamer “Raroksu”, he makes a bet.

For every kill she makes, he donates her 100 euros. However, the streamer only got one kill in the first round, so the YouTuber raised it to 200 euros per kill.

In the second round, things went much better for the streamer. She got 5 kills, which cost MontanaBlack 1000 euros. With each kill she got, the YouTuber hoped even more that she would be eliminated. In total, he donated 1450 euros to the young streamer.

Fallout 76: Patch fixes an event, but players want the bug back

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Fallout 76 received a new update for PC on December 11. It fixes a certain bug in “Feeding the Hungry”, which all players actually thought was a feature. They aren’t happy that the “bug” is now gone.

This is what happened: In the patch for Fallout 76 from December 11, Bethesda fixed several bugs and improved features. This included adjustments to the C.A.M.P. and some quests and events.

The “Feeding the Hungry” event has been adjusted so that it no longer distributes stew cans to all players on the server. Fans are quite annoyed by this.

fallout 76 vault boy

Less experience for everyone

What kind of event is this? The event “Feeding the Hungry” can be found west of Morgantown at Mama Dolce’s Canning Factory. For the event, you need to gather ingredients and protect three machines that then produce stew cans.

Even though the food is called “can”, it spoils. However, they have several advantages when consumed:

  • they satisfy hunger
  • they provide a decent healing boost
  • they give +5% experience for an hour

Previously, there were 5 stew cans for every player on the server when the event was completed. Since the patch on December 11, this no longer happens on PC.

Players find this change bad: The reaction to this particular bug fix is mainly negative. A thread on reddit is circulating with currently 4,700 upvotes, calling for the “bug fix” to be reverted (as of December 12 at 2:50 AM).

There are ongoing reports about how helpful the Fallout 76 community is. The players really like to help others, as also shown in this thread.

Many fans thought that the mass feeding was actually a feature and that it was intended to help the whole server.

In another thread, the user ThisCocaineNinja sums up the feelings of many:

What the hell?! I thought this is a feature. It’s called “Feeding the Hungry”, not “Feeding three Hungry people.” Whenever I was near the airport and the event popped up, I stopped for a moment and helped everyone provide the server with that sweet 5% bonus XP.

Besides, you are really “feeding” the people who are starving. Damn, I wanted more multiplayer events like this. I never thought it could be a bug. It just seemed like a clever idea for an event.

Dead by Daylight: The 4-time Killer “The Legion” is now live

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new chapter for Dead by Daylight is now live. The patch “Darkness Among Us” brought many new contents.

Since last night (12/11/2018), the new chapter for Dead by Daylight is available in the shops of various platforms. The chapter named “Darkness Among Us” comes with the usual contents of a major patch. It includes a new killer and a new survivor, each with three fresh perks, as well as a new map.

This is what the new killer “The Legion” can do: The Legion can activate the ability “Feral Frenzy,” which allows them to enter a temporary blood frenzy. They become faster and can rush over pallets and windows. Hit targets suffer from a new bleeding effect and must be healed, otherwise they will go down.

Additionally, The Legion has the following perks:

  • Discordance: When two or more survivors are working on the same generator, the aura of that generator is revealed for a few seconds.
  • Mad Grit: While carrying a survivor, the killer has no cooldown on missed attacks. If they hit a survivor while carrying, the carried survivor cannot defend themselves for a few seconds and cannot fill the progress bar (“Wiggle Meter”).
  • Iron Maiden: The killer searches lockers faster. Additionally, the position of a survivor who leaves a locker is revealed every time. For a few seconds, that survivor will suffer from the “Exposed” effect (going down with one hit).

We have more about Legion in this post for you.

Dead by Daylight Legion huge title

This is what the survivor Jeff Johansen can do: Like all survivors, Jeff Johansen comes with three of his own perks:

  • Breakdown: Each time the survivor is rescued from a hook or frees themselves, the hook is destroyed and the killer’s aura is revealed for a few seconds.
  • Aftercare: Cooperation creates a bond between survivors. When the survivor heals someone or rescues them from a hook, a bond is created, allowing both survivors to see each other’s aura across the entire map. The effect is deactivated (and must be re-earned through healing/help) if the survivor with the perk is hooked.
  • Distortion: The survivor starts the match with 3 tokens. Each time their aura is shown to a killer, a token is consumed, suppressing the display of their aura for a few seconds.

What is the price of the DLC? Those who want to buy the chapter for real money will pay €7 and get The Legion and Jeff Johansen. Alternatively, both characters can also be purchased in the game’s shop for in-game currency (both real money and earnable). The new map is available to all players, regardless of whether they own the DLC.

Has anyone leaked Borderlands 3? Here’s what the rumor is about

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

After Borderlands 3 was initially not represented at the Video Game Awards despite corresponding rumors, there are now further rumors. These talk about an Alpha and 4 classes.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently caused some strange tweets which led to rumors. These gave fans hope for an announcement of Borderlands 3 on St. Nicholas Day. Ultimately, the disappointment was great when the Game Awards were over and Borderlands 3 was not mentioned anywhere.

Now a video has been released that allegedly has exclusive information about Borderlands 3. The YouTube channel The Know speaks of a confidential source that is said to have revealed the first details about the long-awaited shooter. It is rumored that Borderlands 3 is in an advanced Alpha and will have 4 classes at launch.

Borderlands

Are these the 4 classes of Borderlands 3?

The classes are said to look like this: Borderlands 3 will probably have four different classes at launch that fans may partly recognize:

  • Beastmaster: With the Beastmaster, you can apparently summon up to three animals that assist you in battle. The principle somewhat reminds one of the Hunter from Borderlands 1.
  • Soldier: With the Soldier, you can activate a large mech suit that is said to resemble Titanfall. You can command the mech on the battlefield. Part of the skill tree is apparently focused on cooperative gameplay. Thus, the mech can carry a turret that can be operated by other players.
  • Siren: This class should be familiar to many from previous installments. This time, however, it will have a melee focus, similar to Brick from Borderlands 2.
  • Assassin: The Assassin is said to be heavily inspired by Zero from Borderlands 2. He can apparently deploy decoys to distract enemies.

If the descriptions are accurate, these would be new classes that partly take elements from the old ones.

Borderlands 2 DLC

Borderlands 3 is reportedly in advanced Alpha – no release in sight

When will Borderlands 3 be released? Unfortunately, the source had nothing to report about that. It is only said that Borderlands 3 is in advanced Alpha. The game is not ready yet, and there is still a lot of work left to do.

However, the latest rumors suggest that late 2019 seems to be a logical release window for Borderlands 3.

More details from the video:

  • Apparently, there will be several vaults in the game that you can open.
  • If you progress far enough in the campaign, you can apparently unlock a room. In this room, you can display your weapons as trophies and show them to your friends.

Keep in mind: This is a rumor. There is no official confirmation of this information. However, the creators of the video confidently state that the source is trustworthy.

borderlands 2 chars

How credible is the rumor? The Know is a YouTube channel by Rooster Teeth. This is a US media company. Some Halo fans may remember the funny “Red vs. Blue” series, where in-game scenes were compiled and dubbed.

It would be disadvantageous for the company to release such information without checking its credibility.

What Anthem says about the constant comparisons with Destiny 2

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The new game from BioWare, Anthem, is often compared to Destiny and Destiny 2. But what does one say about this comparison? The Game Director highlights three differences: verticality, freedom, and storytelling.

Who is speaking? It is Jonathan Warner, the Game Director of Anthem, speaking with the US magazine Entertainment.

This is what Warner says about the comparison with Destiny and whether it bothers him:

The comparison does not annoy me. I think people like to look for patterns, and this type of game is relatively new, so people will make these comparisons. They are trying to understand what Anthem is and what it is not.

According to Warner, people who play Anthem will quickly realize that the comparison of Anthem to Destiny is not accurate. Throughout the response, Warner highlights three differences.

Anthem’s Differences: Flying and Freedom

This is how Anthem differs from Destiny:

I think the comparison falls apart quickly. We have so much verticality in the game.

We give players the freedom to do what they want and do not lock them into a class. We allow players to choose the Javelin they want at any time. That feels special.

Anthem-Javelin-Interceptor

According to Warner, there is a moment when players clearly see the differences from Destiny:

When you have your hands on the controller and jump into the air and start flying freely through the environment for the first time – that is the moment when most players understand it.

Anthem will wie Destiny mit BioWare-Story sein – Kann das gelingen?

Another strength Warner sees in BioWare’s history as a strong “RPG studio”:

Beyond that, we bring our storytelling. What we call “Our World, My Story”. This way we allow players to interact with the story in a way that makes them comfortable. We create a narrative space and still share a large, open world.

I think those are the differences.

Those who cannot participate in the currently ongoing alpha for Anthem will be able to see the differences between Anthem and Destiny 2 themselves in the demo of the online shooter later.

The 1st new exotic in Destiny 2 has been found and it is crazy

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, Guardians have found the first new exotic weapon of the DLC “Black Armory”: the grenade launcher “Anarchy.” Initial tests show: The weapon has a unique, quite crazy functionality. It fires not grenades, but mines that can be connected together.

With the new DLC “Black Armory” a total of 5 new Exotics are set to come to Destiny 2. However, it will take longer for some. For example, the hand cannon “The Last Word” will only be available at the end of January.

How exactly to get the exotic weapons is still a mystery for many at the moment. However, one of the new weapons has now been found.

This is the new Exotic: It is the exotic grenade launcher “Anarchy.”

Anarchy-Granat-Twitter

Where can you get Anarchy? As Bungie revealed after the World First in the new raid, Anarchy is a “rare drop” that can be obtained by completing the new raid “Scourge of the Past.”

It was also shown live that the grenade launcher dropped for the first players when they finished the raid and opened the chest.

What makes “Anarchy” so special? The gimmick of the grenade launcher is that it fires mines that stick to the ground or other surfaces, creating a field of tension between them.

Anarchy-Grenade-Launcher-Destiny2

This is what tests have shown: The YouTuber “Kamira” has conducted tests with the grenade launcher.

He says there are these ways to deal damage with the thing:

  • You can attach mines to enemies that stick to the foe and deal damage over time
  • The mines can also be placed individually on the ground. They will then deal damage to anyone who walks into a radius of 3 meters
  • Or you can place multiple mines that create a field of tension between them and deal significant damage. The mines stick to all surfaces and also to Guardians or aliens.

New and old skins: As is customary, all skins from previous years are available again this year. They are included in the special Winter Wonderland loot boxes, which can only be earned during the event. In addition to the old rewards, there are also new skins that are present for the first time:

overwatch Symmetra Junkrat Winterwunder title

New game modes: 2018 also celebrates the return of a popular game mode. Once again, you can grab snowballs with Mei and ruin the day for the evil Yeti by properly covering him in snow. As usual, the game mode is available through the Arcade and rewards you with a loot box if you play it for the first time.

Overwatch wait time

Wait times are normal: Please keep in mind that there can be wait times at the start of an event. Many more players than usual flood the servers, causing wait queues. If you want to play today, you should at least have a bit of patience for the next few hours.

How long does the event last? The Winter Wonderland 2018 will last, as usual, for three weeks. It will end in the new year, on January 2, 2019. Until then, you have plenty of time to earn all the rewards through diligence or simply buy the loot boxes.

Are you already busy collecting the loot boxes? Which skins do you particularly like? Or are you skipping Christmas in Overwatch this year?

Destiny 2: Update 2.1.2 is live – Server issues, patch notes and all information

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

On December 11th, the update 2.1.2 for Destiny 2 has been released. The patch paves the way for the new winter event “The Dawning”. We have gathered the key information about the maintenance work, the server downtime, and the patch notes.

With the weekly reset on 12/11, the Dawning event starts tonight for all players. It is a winter festival where Destiny 2 puts on festive winter attire and Guardians can grab all sorts of festive-inspired loot.

But before it gets Christmas in Destiny 2, you need to download and install an update. It is approximately 4.84 MB on PS4.

UPDATE – Destiny 2 Server Issues after Update 2.1.2

Attention, Destiny 2 servers are being contacted: Many Guardians in the game are receiving this message after the release of update 2.1.2. Destiny 2 is currently experiencing server issues following maintenance. Many players are receiving error codes Weasel, Chicken, and Centipede.

However, as Bungie announced on Twitter, they are already investigating the issue. However, the studio did not specify how long it will take to fix these problems.

These New Features Arriving on 12/11 for Destiny 2

Update 2.1.2 will likely only bring minor changes for Destiny 2. The update is relatively small. Its main purpose will probably be to activate the winter event. The following contents of the update are currently known:

That’s why Rainbow Six Siege no longer automatically bans toxic players

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Players who are offensive in Rainbow Six Siege will no longer be automatically banned. Ubisoft is implementing a new system. 

What is the starting point? Players of Rainbow Six Siege were previously automatically banned by a system if they insulted other players with racist, homophobic, or other expressions. Ubisoft relied on a system that scanned the chats for offensive expressions and then banned the affected players. This system has been active since the summer.

The new system from Ubisoft also recognizes the offensive expressions just as well, but the method for banning players is now different.

We will tell you what is new.

Players receive notifications

What is new now? Ubisoft is now using a new chat filter. If this finds an offensive expression, the affected player receives a private message. They will be informed that their remark is being reviewed and may lead to a ban.

Rainbow Six Siege 3

The following message is now received by the players: “The following message was not sent and is being reviewed for inappropriate behavior: *Wording*”

The new system does not directly ban a player but warns them initially. Ubisoft is thus adopting a type of moderation style.

Therefore, the change is coming: Ubisoft explained the change by stating that the old system would also affect other players. This imposes disadvantages on them, as they lose their teammates for example. This should no longer be the case with the new system, as the affected player receives a private message and may only be banned later.

Rainbow Six Siege 2

What is changing for the players now? Players who are offensive will still be banned. This change does not give players a free pass for insults. Only the notification system is being changed. The offensive words will still be recognized equally.

What do you think about this change? Is this a step in the right direction?

GTA Online: The big update Arena War is live – trailer and content

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In GTA Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One), RockStar announced a major update for today, December 11. Arena War is set to be a sort of gladiator arena, but players will compete against each other using vehicles. How are GTA Online players reacting to the new patch?

What’s new today: Rockstar has announced a new update for Grand Theft Auto Online today. Not much is known about it yet: A short blog post from Rockstar is all we have. But the patch seems to offer quite a bit.

Players are to sign up for a new career under the Maze Bank Arena where they will turn their opponents’ brains into mush, in the name of good entertainment.

Arena War is described as “When relentless gladiator combat meets the highest evolution of vehicle tuning.”

GTA 5 Online Money Title4

What we know about Arena War:

  • New vehicle types tailored for the arena are set to come
  • Rockstar promises seven new modes
  • Additionally, players will be able to progress in a new career while collecting arena points
  • As you rank up, you are supposed to unlock new toys that you can use not only in the arena but also on the streets
GTA Hawk Clothing

What players are saying: On reddit, the announcement is being discussed. Some believe that the “new toys” will be unlockable in the sense that players will have the opportunity to buy them. After all, GTA Online is known for giving very little for free. All vehicles in GTA cost as much as 65 AAA games.

On Twitter, the post is also being discussed. Many are currently saying, “I’m sorry, I’m still stuck in the Wild West.” A large part of the regular players of GTA Online seems to be playing Red Dead Online right now.

But there is also praise that Rockstar is now continuing to support the online mode of Grand Theft Auto 5 alongside Red Dead Online.

When is the update coming? The update is scheduled for today, December 11, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There is no exact information on the time when Arena War will start.

Trailer and Arena War are both now here

Update 6:30 PM: The trailer for Arena War is now available. The update is also live.

A former CEO has a radical tip for Fallout 76 and Diablo Immortal

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The former CEO of Square Enix gives the controversial titles Fallout 76 and Diablo Immortal a tip: They should take a cue from Final Fantasy XIV and start over. In this situation, radical solutions are the only way forward, believes Mike Fischer.

Who is speaking? It is Mike Fisher speaking in a guest article on Venturebeat.

Fischer has been active in the gaming industry for thirty years. He is now an investor and consultant and also works at a university in California. Between 2010 and 2013, he was the CEO of Square Enix America. His tenure included the catastrophic initial launch of Final Fantasy XIV.

Blizzard and Bethesda should take a leaf from Square Enix’s handling of Final Fantasy XIV, says Fischer.

Player asks at BlizzCon: Is Diablo Immortal an April Fool’s joke?
von Benedict Grothaus

How bad was Final Fantasy XIV in 2010: Fischer explains that when the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV was released on PC in 2010, the reaction was catastrophic. The game received 49% on Metacritic. A disaster.

Square Enix realized that Final Fantasy XIV could kill the franchise that defines them.

DIablo Immortal Crusader not amused title

This is the parallel: Fischer believes that Bethesda with Fallout 76 and Blizzard with Diablo 4/Diablo Immortal are now in the same situation as Square Enix was back then.

Bethesda is in a similar situation due to Fallout 76 and Blizzard due to the announcement of Diablo Immortal, similar to Square Enix because of the botched launch of Final Fantasy XIV back then.

Therefore, Fischer suggests a similar solution.

Final-Fantasy-14-4-1-01

How Square Enix reacted: Fischer then explains how Square Enix responded to the crisis:

  • Square Enix first publicly and honestly apologized for the way Final Fantasy XIV was released. This apology came directly from CEO Yoichi Wada.
  • Then they expanded the option to play the game for free.
  • Square Enix replaced the head of the MMORPG – Naoki Yoshida took over.
fallout-76-screen-17 title 2 lovingly with heart
  • There were lengthy interviews and blog posts about the problems.
  • Square Enix committed internally to rework the game and rebuild it from the ground up.
  • Final Fantasy XIV was then relaunched as “Reborn” and rewarded legacy players with a hefty discount on the purchase.
Fallout 76 guitar solo title

This is what Fischer now recommends for Fallout 76 and Bethesda: Fischer says Bethesda and Blizzard are in a similar situation with Fallout 76 and Diablo Immortal.

They now need to admit their mistakes and then listen extensively to loyal players about what concerns them. They should also look in forums outside their own sites.

The suggestions and requests for changes from loyal and engaged fans should then be implemented. Reactions like “Do you not have phones?” at BlizzCon only made things worse.

This is not a PR problem that any community manager can solve; rather, the players’ problems require a direct response from the CEO or the chief creative officer. It concerns lost trust and how to regain it.

Final Fantasy XIV Expansion

Afterward, they would need to present ways to recover from the issues. Quick solutions are good, but thorough ones are even better. For Blizzard, it is not enough to assure players that Diablo Immortal also works well on PC, players now need a roadmap for Diablo 4.

Bethesda now needs to present a detailed plan on how they will fix Fallout 76.

Expensive, but worth it

This is the forecast: Fischer then states that research shows that brands can emerge stronger from such missteps.

Such has been the case with Final Fantasy XIV.

The recovery cost a fortune and many years, but in the end, it was worth the effort. And the plan saved the franchise.

Why medics in Battlefield 5 are really pissed off

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Battlefield 5, as a medic, you must complete a particularly annoying challenge for the first week of Tides of War. This frustrates many players.

That’s why the medics are all in a bad mood: In the online shooter Battlefield 5, with the big update “Tides of War: Overture”, a weekly challenge path was introduced to the game. In this path, you can earn a cool MG from VGO. However, the path, which is specifically designed for medics, is associated with frustration and stress for this class.

Many healers ruin the challenge

Medics take “customers” away from each other: The task sounds simple at first. You are only required to set up a medical crate and provide teammates with 400 health points. The problem is: You have no control over whether your teammates actually take the bandages from the crate.

battlefield-5-sani-aufgabe-02

Often, the dear comrades are not even injured, as other medics, who don’t care about the task, are diligently throwing bandages on them. This heals them too, and right in the middle of the fight. So why should they use your stupid crate?

And then there are other medics who also want to complete the challenge and spam everything with their crates. The text chat is currently full of medics advertising their bandages like market criers.

A Reddit user sums it up:

I’ve been trying to solve this damn task for three hours. I’ve only completed 175/200 of the Tides of War challenge. This is ridiculously frustrating! There are so many medical crates around that no one cares to go to yours!

“I just destroy the other crates!”

This is how players solve the task with violence: Other players are slowly fed up. They simply take their weapon and shoot the annoying crates of the competition to pieces and place their own crates down instead.

This sometimes seems to work, but it’s certainly not how the developers envisioned the task.

battlefield-5-sani-aufgabe-01

Fortunately, you can obtain the weapon at the end of the challenge even without this particular medic task. There are still alternative paths for ammunition resupply and destroyed barricades. Both tasks are much easier to solve than the medic challenge.

The nightmare for completionists: For those who simply want to complete all their tasks, the unbearable feeling of not having done everything remains. Therefore, the developers should think better about how certain tasks ultimately become unexpectedly annoying frustration points for future weekly tasks.

What do you think of the medic challenge? Do you not care about it, or does it annoy you that the task turned out to be unexpectedly irritating?

Overwatch: Schaut euch die Winter-Skins für Symmetra und Junkrat an

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Two new skins for the Winter Wonderland 2018 in Overwatch have been revealed. We showcase the skins for Junkrat and Symmetra!

The Winter Wonderland of Overwatch starts in a few hours and the developers are still releasing new skins that will soon be available to earn. Now the last two skins have been revealed: One legendary skin for Symmetra and one for Junkrat.

Overwatch Junkrat Krampus

Junkrat as a nasty Krampus: Junkrat is always up for chaos, so the Krampus skin is a perfect fit for him. As a nasty little devil with horns, a beard, and demonic green eyes, he will surely ruin everyone’s Christmas in an explosive way. A winter suit, like the one Santa usually wears, must of course also be included!

Overwatch Symmetra Icedancer

Symmetra as an ice skater: Symmetra embodies elegance and control – both important qualities in figure skating. So it’s not surprising that she is getting her own ice skater skin. With this, you can now eliminate enemies even more elegantly with hard light lasers.

How to get the skins: The new skins may be included in special loot boxes that can only be earned during the Winter Wonderland event. Alternatively, you can also buy loot boxes for real money or unlock the desired skin for credits. The Winter Wonderland is expected to last from this evening (December 11, 2018) until January 2, 2019. After that, the skins will no longer be available and will return only at Christmas 2019. If you want to own the skins, you should hurry or just play a lot during the holidays.

More info about the Winter Wonderland we have here for you: Mercy becomes a glittering fairy with this new skin!

Are you excited about the new skins? Which of them will you definitely get?

Black Ops 4: How the new update resolves a major criticism in Blackout

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 finally addresses a long-standing issue with the new update Operation: Absolute Zero that has frustrated players. You can now finally repair your armor in Blackout, so you won’t be punished for fighting.

How can you repair armor? Today, the Update Operation: Absolute Zero is being released for Black Ops 4, bringing numerous changes, including for the Blackout mode. However, since December 10, 2018, it has been possible to restore and upgrade your armor in the Battle Royale mode Blackout thanks to a small pre-update change. Simply collect armor pieces.

The armor pieces are scattered throughout the game world, are more common than complete armors, and have their own slot in the inventory. They are essentially “health packs for armor” because when you apply them, your armor is upgraded by 100 points. This way, you can repair damaged armor or further enhance it.

black-ops-4-battery-titel

How does the repair work exactly? To fix the armor, you just need to select the plates in your inventory, and the armor will be upgraded in about 2 seconds. That should be enough time to briefly hide and come back out with full armor.

Fans have long demanded armor repair

That’s why the repair feature is well received: Armor gives you a significant advantage in the game because you can withstand much more than without armor. But once the armor was gone, you were significantly weakened.

COD black ops 4

Many players felt “punished” when they had engaged in tough combats and then became easy prey for other players. An aggressive playstyle was often not a good idea if you couldn’t constantly switch your armor.

But now that you can “heal” your armor with the more frequently found armor plates, no one should feel punished for taking hits in a tough fight.

What do you think of the new repair feature? Does Blackout now bring you more fun?

The new update also brings new maps today:

New MMO Atlas postpones its launch right before the start

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, Atlas was supposed to be released in Early Access on Thursday. However, the developers at Wildcard now announce that the launch is delayed by another six days. It is now planned for December 19.

Why is the release delayed? There was an official statement from the studio on Steam regarding the postponement. They apologized for the delay, as they know many players are curious about the huge game world.

The developers want to thoroughly review all aspects of the MMO after the official statements before letting players loose in the world.

Atlas Pritate

Criticism of the postponement: There is already a lot of criticism from players under the Steam post. The announcement of a soon start for Atlas had many people excited. They now fear similar issues as with ARK: Survival Evolved. There have been ongoing discussions about performance.

Other actions like the introduction of microtransactions after the fact or game bugs that were not addressed for a long time are still on the community’s mind.

In contrast, there is a recent statement from Jesse Rapczak, co-founder of Studio Wildcard. He promises revised technology and thus more stability for Atlas.

What is Atlas? Atlas is a new pirate MMO that aims to let 40,000 players compete against each other in a world. Players can build their own ships to conquer countries and battle other players.

There are plans for both PvP and PvE servers so that all players can enjoy Atlas. A special feature is the aging process of our character, which we should not get too accustomed to.

Path of Exile has 97% positive Steam reviews – Betrayal is being celebrated

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The reviews of the action RPG Path of Exile have been improving lately: Currently, it has a 97% positive rating on Steam. Is this due to the recently released addon “Betrayal”?

Path of Exile has long been referred to as the spiritual successor to Diablo 2 because it is significantly more complex than Diablo 3. With the current update “Betrayal”, the online game is even better received.

Path of Exile celebrates successes

The success of Path of Exile at the moment: Over 123,000 players played the action RPG Path of Exile via Steam at peak times in the last 30 days.

But these are not all the fans, as the online game also has a standalone client, whose player numbers are not listed on Steamcharts. According to the developers, about 200,000 players are supposed to be active simultaneously.

Path of Exile Screenshot

In addition, the game’s ratings on Steam are currently at 97% and “extremely positive”. Path of Exile is currently celebrating major successes.

What is the reason for the success? Looking at the reviews and comments about Path of Exile, it seems that many new players have joined, who were disappointed by the announcement of the mobile game Diablo Immortal. Comments like “If you don’t have a smartphone, then this game is for you” show that some Diablo players are venting their frustration and switching to Path of Exile.

A significant part of the current success is the new addon “Betrayal”, the new free expansion.

The addon is very well received

What does Betrayal bring to the game? Betrayal introduces some interesting gameplay content that excites players.

  • With Betrayal, you embark on a quest to eliminate cultists whom you must take down one by one
  • Similar to Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, you take out one follower of the Immortal Syndicate after another until you meet their leader
  • You decide whether to kill the enemies or recruit them for your purposes
  • There is plenty of loot, which may even have the Veiled modifier, important for the endgame
  • Additionally, you improve Atlas maps
  • Your hideouts now serve as guild headquarters after you have cleared them of monsters
Path-of-Exile-Delve-league

This is how Betrayal is received by players: The majority of players find the new expansion excellent:

  • The hunt for cultists is very well received and offers new challenges constantly
  • The new loot motivates players to hunt for better gear
  • The fact that the hideout is now accessible to all players and can also serve as a guild base is very well received by players

A few negative voices complain about the difficulty, but Path of Exile aims to provide more challenges than Diablo 3.

The developers of Path of Exile are currently doing many things right, which positively impacts the game and the community.
