New World: What we know about crafting in Amazon’s MMORPG

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of New World are currently giving us the first insights into the crafting system of the MMORPG. They present us with a profession each week. However, information about crafting in New World also comes from other sources.

Update December 8: Amazon has presented another profession in short screenshots on Twitter. The Alchemist combines natural and supernatural substances to create potions and tinctures.

With these, he is supposed to equip and support his fellow players.

Original post November 25:

What professions are there in New World? Currently, we know of three professions. Every Wednesday, a new profession is presented on the Twitter account of New World.

Last week was all about the Blacksmith, the game’s blacksmith. Then on Wednesday, the Builder was presented.

Furthermore, we know from the two-hour leak from the Alpha that there will be a profession related to leatherworking.

How is the crafting system structured in New World? Generally, all players can mine ore and fell trees with the right tools. This allows them to collect raw materials that are necessary for further processing. A specific profession does not need to be learned for this.

The same category could also include skinning and tanning, which are needed to skin wild animals. For this, and perhaps also for collecting raw materials, there is a skill level that can be improved.

It seems important to the developers that collecting resources feels realistic. This applies both to the available materials and the collected quantities.

With the obtained materials, players can then go to a crafting station and start processing them. A brief insight into the system can be gained from a screenshot. There, simple leather is converted into higher quality.

Crafting-New-World

Even without a profession, players will depend on collecting wood and stones in order to, for example, set up a camp. At this camp, players will respawn if they have underestimated the dangers of the game and have died.

What can the Builder profession do? The Builder does not seem to be a classic profession of an MMORPG. In the official description, it states that he is urgently needed for guilds. His task is to expand fortifications.

He is also responsible for buildings and facilities for the defense of the outpost. We see a type of watchtower that might be made by a Builder in a screenshot of the announcement.

What can the Blacksmith profession do? According to a tweet, the Blacksmith is responsible for the strength of the army. At the same time, a strong army is needed to obtain the rarest raw materials for this.

His main task will definitely be to craft armor and weapons for players.

MMORPG with survival elements: Survival plays an important role in New World, especially since other players can loot the inventory of the opponent after a win. Nevertheless, the MMORPG feel is the focus of New World.

The new WoW patch is already really unpopular before release

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 8.1 of World of Warcraft has not been released yet, but the update is already very unpopular among players.

In a few days, the first major content update of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth will finally be released. The Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance brings many new features, such as a new warfront, changes to the war mode, the faction incursions, and in the new year, a fresh raid as well.

However, the community is already quite dissatisfied with the patch.

Shortly before the release of the patch, Blizzard released a “Patch 8.1 Survival Guide” video, as has become customary. It explains what players can expect and what they can look forward to.

Negative reviews in abundance: However, this joy was limited, as more than 70% of the video ratings were negative. Few other videos about World of Warcraft have been rated as negatively as this one. The video also received a lot of disapproving comments. The community is dissatisfied and expresses that. Some comments say:

  • “The art team is brilliant. Everyone else should be fired.”
  • “How about Blizzard makes a survival guide on how to maintain subscriptions?”
  • “Guide didn’t work, I died of boredom.”
  • “How to survive Patch 8.1: Skip it.”

The few positive comments are also somewhat sarcastic:

  • “Hey, every new patch brings us one step closer to the next expansion.”
WoW Incursions Night Elf Troll title

Fans create a parody: The video is so unpopular that the YouTuber SoulSoBreezy felt encouraged to release a parody version of the survival guide. In it, he mocks the various contents and comes up with cynical remarks like:

  • “We are looking forward to showing you what we’ve prepared in Patch 8.1. Because everyone else has already left.”
  • “First of all: No, this is not the patch that unlocks flying. Thanks for watching.”
  • “And now for all of you who bought the Horrific Visage [a mount for a 6-month subscription], let’s talk about the contents right away.”

Where the dissatisfaction comes from: Many players are currently dissatisfied with Battle for Azeroth. The Azerite system is unpopular, warfronts and island expeditions are considered boring. The fact that many contents of Patch 8.1 are hidden behind “time-gating,” meaning they will only start early in 2019, makes players dissatisfied.

Are you also negative towards Patch 8.1? Or are you waiting to see? Are you even looking forward to the contents of the upcoming patch?

Artifact loses half its player base in a week – Not a hit on Steam

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The digital card game Artifact is the first game from hit factory Valve in five years. But it has problems gaining a foothold on Steam. The rival of Hearthstone stumbles at launch.

Artifact is the first game from Valve in 5 years. In 2013, the studio behind the PC platform Steam released a MOBA with DOTA 2. In 2018, Artifact was launched.

But those expecting a hit like CS: GO, Portal, or Half-Life will likely be disappointed at least at launch.

This is Artifact: Artifact is a digital card game similar to Hearthstone or Magic. However, it is played on multiple lanes, making it seem quite complicated.

Artifact Match Screenshot 1

How Artifact is performing so far: Artifact had about 60,000 peak players on Steam on launch day, November 28. But since then, the numbers have significantly declined. On December 6, only about 25,000 players were active from their Steam library.

The trend shows a downward trajectory, as Steamcharts reveals. The 24-hour peak now stands at 20,000. That means two-thirds of the players are gone.

The most popular card in Artifact costs more than the game itself
von Benedict Grothaus

What could the problems be?

  • Artifact has a high entry barrier – The game costs $20 on Steam. Most competing games are free. However, Artifact advertises a “better” model for earning cards.
  • Additionally, Artifact is relatively complicated – Since it is played on three lanes, it is hard to read. One needs to engage with it to understand what is happening.
  • The market could be saturated – Furthermore, the market for card games is well-stocked with Hearthstone, the new Magic, Elder Scrolls Legends, and Gwent. Perhaps only a few were waiting for a new card game.
  • Release hype is dying down – Also, the normal cycle of game releases could be playing a role. It is normal for a game to lose players after launch. It is important to see what level the player base settles at.

Artifact seems to be missing that certain something

This is what players say: On reddit, the news of the dwindling player base is discussed with interest.

It is said in the comments:

  • While Artifact is fun, it is not as addictive as other games. It feels like a single-player game.
  • Another adds that Artifact is deep but lacks a moment of “satisfaction” in the game.
  • Yet another blames the extremely crowded market for Artifact’s difficulties. Between Halloween and Christmas, there are numerous sales, releases, bundles, and other promotions.

Now it remains to be seen at what level the player settles in Artifact. For the moment, it seems that Cortyn is right with his prognosis:

Destiny 2: Are the new Exotics finally here after 3 months?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

For many fans, it feels like Bungie secretly tweaked the drop rate of exotics in Destiny 2 with the release of the Black Armory. Our author Sven shares this opinion. What are your experiences?

Since the first premium DLC “The Black Armory” was released on December 4, 2018, reports from fans have increased that Destiny 2 has become significantly more generous with its most valuable loot, the exotic gear. What’s the truth?

It looks like Bungie has increased the drop rate of Forsaken exotics

D2_Forsaken_Gear_PS4_07

When the Forsaken expansion was released, my guardians entered the big autumn expansion well-equipped. With one exception, I had all exotics available up to that point. However, since Forsaken, Destiny 2 has been anything but generous to me. Generally, you were rarely rewarded with exotics.

My experiences before the Black Armory: I spent quite a bit of time in the expansion and played all three characters. The game rewarded me from September 4 to December 4 with a grand total of just one single exotic Forsaken drop.

While I was able to earn some Forsaken exotics like the Pikass or the Chaperon through relevant quests, I actually only got one new exo drop – the auto rifle Cerberus+1.

D2_Forsaken_Gamescom_Gear_07

My experiences after the Black Armory release: However, with the launch of the “Black Armory”, the situation has noticeably changed for me. Since December 4, I’ve put in a maximum of 2-3 hours into the game up until this moment. Yet in this short time, I have already been rewarded with three exotic items, two of them from Forsaken.

Many other guardians seem to feel the same way. Some members of my clan, as well as comments on Reddit, other forums, and even here on MeinMMO, speak of similar experiences.

While there are certainly guardians who have noticed little or no change, reports of a noticeable increase in Forsaken exotic drops are becoming more common.

destiny 2 eintausend stimmen

For me personally, a significant change is definitely noticeable. During my entire Forsaken time, I only had 4 or 5 exotic drops, now three in just a few hours. And the fact that other players share this feeling leads me to suspect that Bungie has indeed made some tweaks.

What does Bungie say? There has been no statement from Bungie on this issue. The official patch notes from the last two major updates do not mention such a change. So, these are individual experiences from some guardians.

D2_Forsaken_Gamescom_Gear_05

If it really turns out to be more than just a coincidentally well-calibrated RNG with generosity, then the studio must have made this adjustment secretly. In this case, I would appreciate a bit more communication and clarity from Bungie. The fans would certainly thank them for it.

Survey: What are your current experiences with the drop rate of Forsaken exotics?

In this context, we have prepared a survey for you. We want to know how you perceive the current drop rate of Forsaken exotics. Do you feel a significant increase? Has nothing changed for you? Or are you getting even less than before?

Keep in mind, you have only one answer option. Thank you for your time and participation.

Rewind is supposed to be the best of YouTube 2018, has already 4 million dislikes

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The video platform YouTube summarizes the major events in the Best-of-Video Rewind every year. In 2018, people apparently hated “Rewind” – it has received 4 million thumbs down so far. This makes it the second most hated video on the platform. Rewind 2018 apparently featured too much Fortnite.

Here’s what Rewind is about: The video “Rewind” is a kind of “Best-off” video from YouTube every year. Since 2010, the platform has summarized the highlights of a year in a clip.

Various content creators appear, celebrating what made them famous that year: Typical YouTube phenomena like the “Ice Bucket Challenge” or the dance “Gangnam Style” can be found in the Rewinds of each respective year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=38&v=YbJOTdZBX1g

Rank 2 for the most thumbs down –  just after 2 days

This is how the video is doing this year: Rewind 2018 was released on December 6th. It has now over 48 million views but also 4 million dislikes.

Thus it has more dislikes than the trailer for Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, but it is still far from the most hated video on YouTube. That was Justin Bieber’s music video “Baby.” It has 9 million dislikes.

hated-videos-youtube

Here’s why people hate the video: The problem seems to be that YouTube users feel they are not represented by the video.

Below the video, there are comments saying: “If YouTube were like this, I would never watch it.”

Another much-noticed comment says: “The video shows that YouTube is drifting away more from its content creators every year.”

fortnite-ninja-bus

How much Fortnite appears in the video? Fortnite is heavily featured in the video. The opening sequence includes various YouTubers jumping out of a Battle Bus. Top streamer Ninja is the bus driver, asking for silence and complaining, that no one ever thanks him.

Additionally, the video features numerous references to online shooters – especially the dances from Fortnite are highly represented.

YouTube sweeps controversial streamers under the rug

This is what lies behind the many negative reactions: The video mainly showcases the “advertiser-friendly faces” of YouTube and ignores the many controversial streamers and figures that also characterize YouTube.

These controversial streamers, however, have the most fans, generate the most views, and make the most headlines.

von Schuhmann

So there is a lot of Fortnite in the video and many other YouTubers who avoid controversies.

Additionally, celebrities are shown who are known from other contexts and who are not “homegrown” from YouTube like Hollywood star Will Smith or comedian John Oliver.

But many controversial YouTubers like PewDiePie, Logan Paul, and the many controversies and scandals surrounding these types of YouTubers are missing. Even if they may seem silly, like the race between PewDiePie and T-Series for the channel with the most subscribers – they are, for many fans, the real core of YouTube.

PewDiePieBlackDesert
A Black Desert version of PewDiePie

As the US site “The Verge” notes, the Rewind video is probably made more for the advertising industry and presents the friendly side of YouTube, where advertisers like to place their ads.

The video, however, ignores things that actually define YouTube, such as a boxing fight that millions tune into. This controversial side is what YouTube tries to sweep under the rug in Rewind.

Apparently, this is not well-received.

Red Dead Online: How to get a second holster

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

In the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, you can walk around with two holsters and thus two revolvers. However, you need to level up significantly in Red Dead Online to be able to adorn yourself with a second holster.

In the single-player mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, you could unlock a second holster through a special quest. This allows you to carry two revolvers and shoot ambidextrously in battles.

In Red Dead Online, you can also wear a second holster, but you must gather quite a bit of experience points for this.

Second Holster for Real Outlaws

These are the requirements: Instead of battling for the second holster in one of the online missions, you need to reach the appropriate rank. For the basic second holster, that is rank 25.

How to level up most comfortably, we have compiled in this article. Owners of the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 can be pleased because they level up to rank 25 faster than anyone else.

Red Dead Redemption 2 7

There are many different holsters, each with different rank requirements. They also vary in cost. While you have to pay about 7 to 8 dollars for a basic second holster, you can spend around 25 dollars for a higher-level holster. How nice that you are currently being gifted money and gold bars in RDO.

Here’s where you can get second holsters: To acquire a second holster, you need to visit a gunsmith. You can also find gunsmiths in Red Dead Online in the towns of Valentine, Tumbleweed, Annesburg, Rhodes, and Saint Denis.

Just be aware that a second holster means you have an additional inventory slot that needs to be filled. Many players have already complained that everything in Red Dead Online is much more expensive than in single-player, including weapons.

However, with an initial update, Rockstar recently made changes to the online economy and the prices of weapons.

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Anthem is set to be released in spring, with two demos running beforehand. The release dates for these demos are now known. It starts in January and February.

On February 22, the shared-world shooter Anthem will be released. The first alpha test starts today, December 8. However, this is not open to everyone; participants were drawn by lot. Those who didn’t get a spot can still feel reassured.

Anthem is planning two demo versions for spring. There is now also a release date for these demos. While the VIP demo for pre-order customers starts in January, a demo for everyone will be available in early February.

Anthem-Javelins

When does it start for whom?

The VIP demo starts on this day: On January 25, the first demo for Anthem will kick off. The VIP demo has its name for a reason and will be accessible only to pre-order customers. It runs until January 27.

Is pre-ordering the only way? Apparently, EA also wants to send keys for the VIP demo to subscribers of the Anthem newsletter.

On these days, everyone can play: The open demo will be available from February 1 to February 3.

anthem-fliegen

What is included in the demos? So far, there is no information available. The scope may correspond to the alpha version that is being made available to players today. However, it can be assumed that a part of the world of Anthem can be explored with friends.

Developer Bioware has emphasized beforehand: It is a demo, not a beta. Therefore, it is not meant for bug fixing, but only to give an impression of the game.

A new story trailer for Anthem has also been revealed, which you can watch on MeinMMO.

WoW: 5 Things you can look forward to in Patch 8.1

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

We are particularly looking forward to these five innovations in World of Warcraft Patch 8.1.

Next week it’s finally happening. The first major content patch for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is launching. Although we have already listed a large part of the changes and innovations in our Overview of Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, we want to focus on five things that will benefit all players.

1. Improvements to the Reputation System

Reputation is important for all characters as it often determines what players can buy, wear, and use. This is especially important in Battle for Azeroth because a high reputation with the “Champions of Azeroth” decides what item level the necklace “Heart of Azeroth” has. For this reason, unlocking with the Champions of Azeroth will be account-wide.

WoW Reputation account-wide title

So if a character is already “respectful” with the Champions, they can go directly to Magni Bronzebeard with their alt characters and collect the upgrades. Long, repetitive farming is therefore eliminated.

But even more is changing: If you have unlocked transmog items of a reputation faction, you can now use them on other characters – regardless of whether that alt character has the actual reputation for it.

2. Unlock Allied Races in Turbo

WoW Allied Races Void Elf Lightforged Draenei Title

Anyone who has not yet been able to commit to unlocking the various Allied Races will also be relieved with Patch 8.1. Blizzard is doubling the reputation gain with all factions required to unlock the “old” Allied Races (Nightborne, Highmountain Tauren, Army of the Light, Argus Assault). This should make unlocking possible in just a few days.

But the unlocking of Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag’har will also be accelerated. Because the individual steps of the War Campaign now provide a large amount of reputation each time, allowing the campaign to be completed quickly and the two races to be unlocked. Combined with the next point, this should be a new incentive for many players…

3. The Faster Leveling Phase

Leveling alt characters in the current version of World of Warcraft is a pain. Due to the lack of noticeable improvements per level (such as talent points), leveling feels particularly sluggish and gives little pleasure. Therefore, with Patch 8.1, the experience needed for level-ups between levels 20 and 110 is drastically reduced! In some areas, up to 40% fewer experience points are required than before.

wow screenshot sturmsangtal title with orc and human leveling guide

This should make leveling go faster and allow the desired character to reach the endgame much quicker.

Do you want to know where you can level the best? Here are our top leveling areas:

4. The New Warfront: Darkshore

WoW Darkshore Warfront Preview

The Warfront has been viewed rather skeptically in World of Warcraft so far. This is mainly because it is time-limited and only one side can have “fun” while the other side gathers resources or manages to defeat rare enemies in Arathi once.

Since Patch 8.1 adds a second Warfront (Darkshore), this issue should be resolved. Both Warfronts gather resources independently and run in parallel. For example, the Alliance could play the Warfront of Arathi while the Horde fights over Darkshore. This should ensure that there is always something to do. Especially for alt characters, Warfronts remain a great opportunity to quickly obtain solid gear and then tackle other game content, such as Mythic+ dungeons.

5. The Improved War Mode

WoW Heritage Gnome Tauren title

The War Mode is also getting an overhaul, although this is mainly done “passively” through other features. So far, there have been few incentives to truly participate in War Mode and engage in PvP. Sometimes there was a dispute over a boss during a quest, but mostly the Alliance and Horde are rather scattered and encounter each other rarely.

With the new “Incursions”, where Horde and Alliance attack the enemy’s respective continent, there are numerous quests for both sides encouraging them to stay in the same environment. This promises plenty of skirmishes that should excite fans of world PvP.

In addition, a change is coming that the faction with fewer players in War Mode receives a greater incentive and can gain up to 30% more XP while leveling. This should motivate other players (mainly Alliance players) to dive into War Mode as well.

Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, December 12, 2018.

Fallout 76 – Bethesda says regarding the data breach: not so bad

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Fallout 76 recently released some player data. Now Bethesda has commented on the matter. 

What happened? Bethesda, the company behind Fallout 76, made an error in their customer support. Players had a brief glimpse into tickets from other players who had contacted support.

Now Bethesda has stated in a press release what customer data was published and for what period.

No credit card numbers were visible

What was the error? If someone wants to send a message to customer support, they submit a ticket. In this ticket, they can outline any issues in the game but also relay credit card numbers or other details. These tickets could be viewed for a short period by any other player who also submitted a ticket to support.

fallout 76 support

What does Bethesda say? Bethesda confirmed this error. From December 5th, it was possible for about 45 minutes to access the tickets of other players. However, this only applied to players who submitted a ticket within that timeframe.

How many customers were affected? During the period when the error occurred, 123 tickets were sent to customer support. These could be partially or fully viewed by other users. 65 tickets contained personal data that could also be viewed.

The following data could be viewed: Bethesda asserts that no passwords and entire credit card numbers could be viewed. Affected were names, usernames, or contact information. These items were viewable for a short period.

Am I also affected? Every player affected by this error is already being informed by Bethesda.

Is the problem fixed now? The errors have been corrected, and customer support is functioning properly again. However, Bethesda is now facing even more criticism after they previously provided players with wrong bags in the Collector’s Edition.

In this Hollywood short film about PUBG there is more action than in the game

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time < 1 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has received a cool short film. Hollywood director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has honored the battle royale shooter with an engaging film.

This is what it is about the PUBG movie: Jordan Vogt-Roberts is the director behind the blockbuster Kong: Skull Island. He is also currently working on a film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid. The man is also a true game fan and recently dedicated a short film to PUBG.

PUBG Trailer Title3

This is what you see in the PUBG film: In the short, well-made film, you experience a typical PUBG match in fast forward. It starts with the panicked search for weapons, the obligatory frying pan, wild fights, and even unexpected twists.

Anyone familiar with the game will spot typical game items everywhere, including the usual weapons, armor items, and of course the frying pan, which serves as a sort of super multi-purpose weapon in the video.

How fans are reacting: Reactions to the video are somewhat mixed. Some praise the action and choreography. Others, however, criticize that PUBG does not actually allow all these cool actions. The video is full of action and portrays the image of an engaging, dynamic game.

However, that is not PUBG. Rather, PUBG plays out more tactically, and wild action like in the video is rather the exception. And the frying pan is by no means as overpowered as in the film.

What do you think of the film?

Pokémon GO brings a new update – Is PvP coming now?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

It is getting hot around PvP in Pokémon GO. Niantic is currently rolling out an update that brings PvP battles.

In Pokémon GO, PvP is just around the corner. Niantic is currently rolling out a new update named 0.131.1, which Android users can already download via the APK file. In the App Store, Niantic mentions trainer battles as a new feature in this update. If every player has to make the update, trainer battles will likely be possible too.

We will tell you what is included in the update and when the trainer battles will be available.

PvP is coming

What does the new update bring? In some app stores, players can already download the new update. Niantic describes the following new features regarding the update:

Update Pokémon GO 2
  • Trainers can now challenge someone nearby to trainer battles by scanning their battle code
  • Trainers can send challenges for trainer battles to their best friends
  • Trainers can also battle team leaders
  • Trainer battles take place in three different leagues and consist of a team of three Pokémon. Each league has a different limit on the competition points of Pokémon
  • New hair colors and skin tones are available for characters
Loading screen Pokémon GO

There is also a new loading screen since summer. A Lucario is battling against an Elevoltek.

Are trainer battles coming now? It can be assumed that when this update is enforced, meaning mandatory for every player, trainer battles will also be available.

When will the update be enforced? It will take some time before the update is mandatory for everyone. Especially iOS users will have to be patient. Apple has certain rules regarding apps in their App Store. It always takes longer there than on Android for the update to appear. Once every player has the update in their store, it will also be enforced.

What is included in the update? 

In the update, data miners from TheSilphRoad searched for further new features that Niantic has not announced. The following new features were found in the update:

  • A spectator mode for trainer battles
    • Players may be able to watch other trainers while they are battling.
  • New medals
    • These will relate to trainer battles and have already been confirmed by Niantic
  • A rematch feature
    • After a trainer battle, you may be able to directly challenge your opponent to a rematch
  • When leveling up your Pokémon, you can now see how much CP the Pokémon will gain
Update Pokémon GO 3
  • Sounds for the following attacks have been added: Skull Bash, Bloodsucker, Crabhammer, Octazooka, Power Gem, Crushing Claw, Absolution, Earth Powers, Mirror Salvo, Acid Spit, Grass Mixer, Spike Finale, Boost Hit
    • The sounds are usually one of the last things Niantic adds before release. Therefore, it can be assumed that these attacks will be released soon.

Will these features also come with the update? So far, all of this has only been found in the datamine of the update. Not everything necessarily has to be released. It only makes it more likely that it will happen.

Can I get the update now? Android users can already download the update via the APK file. However, trainer battles cannot be conducted yet. This will be unlocked additionally by Niantic.

Fortnite: Ninja is Creator of the Year, chats with Shrimp

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins receives a special honor for his work on Twitch and as a content creator for Fortnite at the end of 2018. He wins the award for “Content Creator 2018” at the Video Game Awards.

This is the award Ninja won: The Video Game Awards are somewhat like the “Oscars of Video Games” and are awarded annually.

The award for the best “Content Creator” was new this year. In previous years, the award was known as “Trending Gamer.” It is a people’s choice award.

Who else was nominated? 

The field was full of Fortnite streamers. The nominees were:

  • Dr. Lupo, also a Fortnite streamer and a good friend and partner of Ninja
  • Myth, a Fortnite esports player and streamer
  • Pokimane, a well-known Fortnite streamer
  • Willyrex, a Spanish-speaking star on YouTube

Since January 2018, Fortnite and Ninja have taken off

This is how Ninja’s career developed in 2018: The career and rise of Ninja can be impressively seen in the curve of his followers and views on Socialblade. Ninja has been streaming for a long time but gained followers over the years only in the “normal range.” It was a steady, but rather small increase in viewers.

With the rise of Fortnite starting in January 2018, this changed:

Ninja gained:

  • over 500,000 followers on Twitch in January 2018
  • one million in February
  • 2.3 million in March. This was also the time when Ninja streamed with rapper Drake. That moment is considered Ninja’s breakthrough. Fortnite had finally arrived in the mainstream.

In August 2018, Ninja became the first streamer on Twitch to have more than 10 million followers – thanks to Fortnite.

Ninja says about the award: When he accepted the award, he thanked his wife and family, who always let him play video games. It has been a fantastic year for video games.

On Twitter, Ninja wrote: “Words cannot describe how I feel right now. Everything that has been achieved this year, and incredible things are still happening with amazing people. Thank you all… And thank you to the Video Game Awards for this award.”

This is how the awards ceremony went: Ninja appeared at the awards ceremony with his wife and manager. The two posed on Twitter in front of the awards. We embedded the couple’s photo at the beginning of our article.

Destiny 2: Anger over coveted raid title – Did the winner cheat?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

When the new raid “Scourge of the Past” went live in Destiny 2 on December 7, it took less than two hours to determine the winner of the World-First race. However, the victory is controversially discussed by some fans. What happened?

Who claimed the World First title? In just under an hour and 50 minutes, the race for the World-First title in the new raid “Scourge of the Past” was already over. And this time it wasn’t the Redeem clan that claimed the title for themselves.

d2 ba raid 1

A team from the Tier 1 clan around the exceptional player Gigz grabbed the coveted World-First belt yesterday. Shortly thereafter, this triumph was confirmed by Bungie on Twitter. Numerous Bungie employees, fans, and Destiny celebrities congratulated the delighted winners.

Was the victory legitimate? However, around the victory of the Tier 1 clan, a controversy has also broken out. Some fans wondered if everything was above board. The trigger for the discussions was the revival in the raid.

Some viewers noticed during the stream that some team members of the Tier 1 clan apparently had more revival tokens available than usual and were therefore able to revive their fallen comrades more often.

d2 ba raid 2

Normally, each team member has one token, so they can only bring back one dead comrade. During encounters, some players in Tier 1 were able to revive their buddies more than once.

This is what Tier 1 says: The discussion was further fueled when some members of Tier 1 stated that the tokens would recharge after each boss phase. Therefore, players could revive their comrades multiple times during the boss fight.

However, other teams contested this argument and replied that the tokens do not regenerate during these phases. They had never done so before.

What does Bungie say? So far, the studio hasn’t addressed this issue. However, as many other fans have now reported, other teams, including the Redeem clan, were also affected by this phenomenon. It is likely a bug. Some users even noted that they experienced this phenomenon in the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Raid_Teaser_01

Does Tier 1 now have to fear for the title? Probably not. Because whatever the reason for this phenomenon, Tier 1 cannot be blamed for cheating or intentionally exploiting it to gain an advantage – nothing of the sort was apparent at any time during the stream.

If it is indeed a bug, it would be something that could be criticized to Bungie, but not to the Tier 1 clan. Whether they had a decisive advantage or not is another matter. Since, as is well known, other participants in the race were also plagued by it, it is likely that Tier 1’s victory will not change.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Raid_Teaser_02 (1)

Fans are still discussing this: There have also been some heated discussions around the new raid itself. Although Bungie announced in advance that this raid would be smaller than the Last Wish from Forsaken – no one was expecting an 18-hour marathon.

However, the fact that Scourge of the Past was mastered in less than two hours is bitter for some fans. Many had hoped for more.

Dead by Daylight: The new killer Legion has a release date

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Soon, Dead by Daylight will see some serious killing again. The new killer “Legion” finally has a release date.

For almost two weeks, players of Dead by Daylight can already test the new killer on the PTR and get their first impression of Legion. Even though the feedback is mixed, the developers seem to be satisfied with Legion and want to release him shortly. A release date has now been announced along with the official trailer.

When does Legion release? The new chapter “Darkness Among Us,” which contains the killer Legion, a new survivor, and a new snow map, will be released on December 11 – so already next week.

What can Legion do? Legion is capable of entering a blood frenzy for a few seconds. Then he can vault over pallets and windows, just like survivors can. In this mode, he inflicts the debuff “Deep Wounds,” causing opponents to slowly bleed out if they are not healed in time.

Dead by Daylight Legion Mori title

What perks do the new characters have? What the new survivor Jeff Johansen can do, and the perks of Legion have been explained in detail in this article. As usual, you unlock the perks through the blood web and can then teach them to other killers or survivors.

The community is divided: The community does not seem to be very happy with the upcoming patch. Many see Legion as a wasted potential. Although he looks similar to a survivor, his gameplay is rather unspectacular and many players find his ability disappointingly boring and useless.

How Legion will ultimately perform will only be shown in the weeks after the release.

Pokémon GO: This is why players with 2 accounts have no PvP advantages

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Do players with multiple accounts in Pokémon GO really have an advantage in PvP? Can they scoop up more rewards? We have the answers. 

The Trainer battles start this month in Pokémon GO and are already being discussed actively. In the community, it’s said that players with multiple accounts would have an advantage because they can battle against themselves from home and thus earn more rewards. But is that really true?

Multi-Account players have no advantage

Why should Multi-Account players have an advantage? Critics argue that players with multiple accounts also receive more rewards. They could easily battle against themselves and accumulate even more rewards. Other players would always have to find a partner to fight with.

Title image PvP 3

Is there this advantage? In the Trainer battles, Niantic paid special attention to fairness. There are two good reasons why Multi-Account players have no advantage in PvP.

1. You can battle against Ultra Friends anywhere

Where can you challenge your opponent? To battle against another trainer, you do not always have to be face to face. PvP does not work like trading, where you must be within 100 meters of each other. If you are at least Ultra Friends with your opponent, you can battle each other from home. It doesn’t matter how far apart you are.

Pokémon GO PvP Title

Does a Multi-Account player have an advantage? A Multi-Account player can easily battle against themselves, but other players can just as easily battle against their Ultra Friends. You just need to find an Ultra Friend who is available, and you can battle. Therefore, there is no advantage for players with multiple accounts.

2. You can only receive a maximum of three rewards per day

How do you receive the rewards? When you complete a Trainer battle, both players receive rewards. This also includes the Sinnoh Stone. Per day, you can receive rewards from Trainer battles three times. After that, you can still participate in these battles, but without rewards.

PvP Niantic Image 3

Does a Multi-Account player have an advantage? It does not benefit a Multi-Account player to battle as often as they want against themselves. After three battles, the rewards are over.

PvP is designed for every player to have the same opportunities. Players with multiple accounts do not have any advantages there. So if you only have one account, you can look forward to Trainer battles just as much as Multi-Account players.

Are you looking forward to the Trainer battles?

Fortnite: This is how you give yourself a unique look with paints

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

A new feature in Fortnite Season 7 is the wraps. They give your weapons and vehicles a special look. Learn here how they work and why they’re so great.

What are wraps in Fortnite? The new wraps are an additional form of cosmetic customization option in Season 7. Previously, you could only equip certain skins with different looks and color patterns.

With the wraps, your items in the game are now customizable as well.

Give yourself a unique look

How do the wraps work? You can adjust the wraps in the locker. This is the menu where you customize your skins, gliders, and pickaxes, among other things. There is an additional option for wraps. So far, you can assign a unique wrap for each weapon type and vehicles in general.

fn-wrap

You can give your assault rifles a bright red look, while your sniper rifles can have a snow camouflage. The pistol gets a gold wrap, and the vehicles will be green.

Depending on your preference and chosen outfit, you can create your individual look. The possibilities should be numerous.

How do I get wraps? Currently, wraps are only available through the Battle Pass of Season 7. All wraps are included in the paid pass. Free users do not get wraps.

How many wraps are there? So far, six wraps can be found in the Battle Pass:
• Arctic Camo: From level 5 in the Battle Pass
• Festive Wrap: From level 11 in the Battle Pass
• Bright Red: From level 26 in the Battle Pass
• Durrr Burger: From level 43 in the Battle Pass
• Indigo Ice: From level 60 in the Battle Pass
• Carbon Fiber and Gold: From level 74 in the Battle Pass

fn-wraps

Is there more to come? Most likely, Epic will release more wraps soon. Especially for events, a suitable wrap would serve as a reward. And the next Battle Pass will probably offer additional wraps.

Furthermore, Epic will likely not miss the opportunity to offer more wraps in the shop for real money. Other games, like Counter-Strike: GO, have been earning a lot of money with this for years. Things are getting even more colorful in Fortnite!

This is how the wraps are received by the fans: The wraps are well received by fans. However, they want more options. Many fans wish for unique wraps that can be obtained for specific, tough challenges or as a reward in certain tournaments. That would be a truly special item that not everyone has.

Do you already have a favorite among the wraps? Or do you wish for a color or pattern for the future?

WoW: Yay, in Patch 8.1 you can almost disable Warmode everywhere

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 8.1 for World of Warcraft introduces a significant change to the War Mode. You will soon be able to deactivate it in many places.

The War Mode in World of Warcraft is the opportunity for all players to participate in active PvP in the open world. However, those who wish to activate or deactivate it can only do so in their faction’s capitals. This will change with Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance.

WoW Humans legendary title

Deactivation possible in rest zones: With the upcoming Patch 8.1, which will be released next week, players will be able to deactivate War Mode in numerous locations. Any rest zone is suitable for this. Rest zones typically include all major cities (Boralus, Dazar’Alor, Dalaran, Shattrath, etc.) and inns, which can be found in almost every settlement and where you can bind your hearthstones.

Activation only in the capitals: However, nothing changes regarding the activation of War Mode. Those who wish to join War Mode must still travel to Orgrimmar (Horde) or Stormwind (Alliance). It is only from there that you can activate War Mode to participate in open PvP again.

Why is Blizzard changing War Mode? The exact reasons for the developers introducing this change are unknown. However, it is likely that many players had frustrating experiences in War Mode and the thought of having to travel back to the capital to return for a world quest deterred them. This change drastically reduces the frustration factor of War Mode.

WoW Warmode deactivate
Image source: reddit

Community reacts positively: The players’ reactions to these changes are largely positive. Almost everyone in War Mode knows the situation where they just want to complete a quest and are repeatedly killed. Such moments can now be avoided by more easily deactivating War Mode. However, a permanent “on/off switching” of the mode is not possible.

What do you think of this change to War Mode? Is it a good thing to be able to deactivate it in many places now? Or does Blizzard “water down” the player experience again?

The new raid starts in Destiny 2: This prize awaits the winner

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Today, the best players in the world are competing in the new raid “Scourge of the Past” in Destiny 2. Who will secure the World First belt in the end? Here you can also find everything about the start time, level requirements, and rewards of the new top activity.

That’s why everyone is watching the raid today: Today, the new raid “Scourge of the Past” from the new premium DLC “The Black Armory” is launching. As soon as the raid opens its doors, many Guardians will try to master this elite discipline of PvE.

However, for the best players in the world, it’s not just about completing the raid. They are competing for the “World First” title, a kind of mini World Championship among the PvE elite of Destiny 2.

The World First belt for the new raid

What’s the deal with the belt? Since the Forsaken Raid Last Wish, the World First winner receives not only fame and honor within the community and an official mention from Bungie, but also a high-quality physical trophy.

In the style of a World Championship belt in boxing, all members of the victorious fireteam receive a World First Champion belt with the insignia of the raid as well as their own names.

This honors the players’ achievements in a way that has never been done before, adding a championship flair to the World First race.

Everything about the launch of the raid “Scourge of the Past” in Destiny 2

When is the official start for the raid? Scourge of the Past opens its doors on Friday, December 7, at 6 PM our time. Then the race for the World First title starts. Will the Redeem Clan be able to secure the coveted belt again?

These are the requirements for the new raid: The raid is part of the first premium DLC “The Black Armory” and is therefore only available to owners of the Annual Pass.

d2 ba raid 1

There is no minimum requirement for the Power Level. The recommended Power Level is 640, which is only 10 levels below the new Power Cap of 650.

Thus, all Season Pass holders can enter the raid, depending on the individual level of the Guardians, the challenge will then be greater or lesser. With only three days of lead time, however, very few players are likely to reach the level recommendation.

Whether the raid will be as tough initially as Last Wish or the Leviathan Raid remains to be seen.

d2 ba raid 2

What can Guardians expect in Scourge of the Past? Scourge of the Past is not an additional raid section but a fully-fledged new raid. In terms of scale, this new raid will be larger than the Leviathan raid sections but smaller than the Last Wish – the largest raid Bungie has created to date.

Traditionally, Bungie hasn’t revealed much about the content. The raid takes place in the ruins of the Last City on Earth. There lies the most valuable treasure of the Black Armory, which is now being besieged by the Fallen Siviks and his crew.

The battles are said to be action-packed and adrenaline-fueled, reminiscent of the “Wrath of the Machine” raid from Destiny 1. Additionally, you will be able to use your Sparrows in some sections.

What rewards are there in the new raid? Bungie hasn’t revealed anything about the weapons and armor yet. However, those who complete the raid within the first 24 hours after release will receive a special in-game emblem.

In addition, Guardians have the opportunity to secure a code for acquiring an exclusive raid jacket if they master the new top activity by December 12 at 6 PM.
