ESO will change the races on a large scale – players wonder: Why?

The Elder Scrolls Online developer Zenimax has announced that changes to racial traits will be made in the future. Players have very different reactions to the announced changes.

Among the players, three camps are forming. Some players are looking forward to the adjustments. Others do not trust Zenimax to make these changes or fear that all races will play the same. The rest of the players are taking a wait-and-see approach.

The racial skills are to be revised 

This has happened: Zenimax has announced that the influence of passive racial traits will be reduced. Players should have the option to choose between different passive abilities that best support their current role. The influence of the traits is expected to increase with higher levels.

Despite the changes, each race should still retain its individuality.

ESO-High Elf

What are racial traits? Racial traits grant different bonuses. For example, agile Khajiit have an increased critical hit chance, while High Elves have more Magicka to use abilities.

The players are torn 

What do the players think? A player initiated a survey in the official ESO forum, in which 408 players participated. There is no clear trend in the survey results. 40% of players tend to lean negative, while 31% are positive about the changes. 26% find the announcement neutral. 

ESO Summerset Psijik 1

This is criticized: 

  • Some players fear that this will make the choice of race irrelevant, and players will only choose based on appearance. 
  • Since racial abilities have a certain influence on a character’s strength, some players spend quite a bit of money changing their race to maximize their performance in PvP and PvE. This group criticizes the changes especially because it would render their past investments worthless.  
  • Some players criticize Zenimax’s ability to maintain game balance. They do not trust the developer to properly revise the racial abilities. An example is the unnecessary change to the Sorcerer.
ESO Murkmire Spear Thrower

This is praised: 

  • Some races have significantly stronger racial abilities than others. For example, High Elves are very good mages, while Orcs bring good passive abilities for PvP in Tamriel. The planned changes could restore balance among the races. 
  • Currently, certain race and class combinations are better than others. Those who want to get the most out of their class are therefore limited to specific combinations of race and class. The changes could lead to new class builds, which would be beneficial for the diversity of the game.

That’s why some players do not care:  

  • Some players believe that races should be chosen independently of alliances to better balance PvP in Tamriel. 
  • Currently, not enough information about the planned changes is known. Consequently, some players are observing and holding back for now. 
  • Some players generally oppose the existence of passive abilities. In their view, it is good if Zenimax reduces the influence of passive abilities. 

What do you think of the planned changes to racial skills?

The Division 2 shows 5 skill variants – Here’s how they work

In a new dev blog post, the developers of The Division 2 have finally released new information about the skills. Here are the key details.

It is currently rather quiet about The Division, but there are regularly new updates on the upcoming The Division 2. Developer Massive publishes new information every month in the Intelligence Annex.

The division 2 screenshot

The latest entry mainly focuses on skills and their various modifications. First, the blog presents 5 skill categories, with more to come.

5 Skill Categories in The Division 2

In addition to a few old skills like the seeker mine and the turret, there will also be some new abilities. They are divided into five categories.

These skills from The Division 2 have been presented:

  • Chem Launcher
  • Drone
  • Hive
  • Seeker Mine
  • Turret

For each category, there are several modifications that function differently. Skills gain various modes of operation that can be offensive, defensive, or supportive with bonuses.

Not all skill mods are freely available: Some modifications can only be selected with the three specializations of The Division 2. Specializations can be chosen after reaching level 30. You can read all the information about the specializations on our site MeinMMO.

the division 2 action

The Chem Launcher

The Chem Launcher is a novel skill. It functions similarly to the first aid skill from the first game. You have a kind of hand cannon with which you can target a specific area.

Mods change the effects of your skill. You can influence how the skill works. There are offensive and defensive variants.

These are the mods of the Chem Launcher: 

  • Firestarter – With this mod, you shoot canisters that release a flammable, nearly invisible gas. These clouds can be ignited by projectiles from weapons. Enemies running into the gas cloud can also ignite it.
  • Riot Foam – You can shoot canisters filled with riot foam. This is a kind of foam that can be used to control crowds. It has already been seen in released gameplay. The foam is sticky and spreads quickly.
  • Oxidizer – The oxidizer fires canisters filled with corrosive chemicals. The clouds of these chemicals slowly eat away at your enemies’ armor.
  • Reinforcer – With the reinforcer, you can shoot clouds filled with a kind of repair powder that can restore your armor. Friends and yourself can be healed this way.

The Drone

Another skill that has been newly developed for The Division 2. It flies over your enemies’ heads and can either be supportive or offensive.

the division 2 drone

This is how the drone mods work: 

  • Striker – An offensive variant. In combat, the drone shoots at your enemies. It can be controlled remotely, allowing you to target specific enemies.
  • Defender – This drone creates a kind of barrier and protects you from enemy fire. With each hit, the drone loses energy, and it is not protected from enemy bullets. You can also protect other team members remotely.
  • Tactician – With this mod, the drone flies at the highest possible point above you and acts as a kind of tactical scanner. It shows you the locations of enemies while active. This skill can only be used by the sniper specialization.
  • Bombardier – You can send this drone to fly over a specific area. It will then rain explosives down on your enemies’ heads.
  • Fixer – Another skill mod with a defensive benefit. The drone repairs your armor for a certain period. You can send it to a specific location remotely, or select team members as the target for the help. Even their skills, like turrets, can be repaired this way.

The Hive

The Hive is an experimental technology. Like the drone and the chem launcher, it is one of the new skills in The Division 2. When you place the Hive, automatic mini-drones are released. They can target your enemies or support your team.

This is how the Hive mods work: 

  • Stinger – A swarm of mini-drones attacks everything in their range. They deal regular damage and specifically target weak points.
  • Restorer – Within their range, the mini-drones can detect when players or team members lose armor. They can then repair the damaged armor as soon as they reach the player.
  • Booster – A mini-drone is sent out for each team member, which improves weapon handling, movement, and other physical capabilities for a short period.
  • Reviver – In a specific area, the reviver can revive players. You can specifically send the drones to revive others. If you hold down a certain button, the revival time window accelerates.

The Seeker Mine

Many fans may remember the Seeker Mine from the first game. It has both old and new modifications.

division-sucher-mine-2

This is how the Seeker Mine mods work:

  • Explosive – The regular Seeker Mine. It automatically seeks or targets a target on command. It detonates upon contact and knocks your enemies off balance. However, it does not explode immediately, and you can dodge within a short time window.
  • Airburst – This mine rolls to a certain spot and then causes a large explosion that affects all enemies in the area.
  • Mender – With this variant, you can distribute repair clouds. They can restore your armor. If you do not select a specific target, the mine automatically seeks out the team member with the lowest armor. This mod is exclusively intended for the survival specialist.
  • Cluster – The Seeker Mine splits into several smaller variants. They can target multiple enemies simultaneously and detonate among them.

The Turret

Many are already familiar with the turret from The Division 1. However, it gets a few extra mods for the second part.

the division flammengeschütz

This is how the turret mods work: 

  • Assault – This turret targets your enemies and deals regular damage. It can rotate 360° and attacks in an area that is closest to the enemy.
  • Incinerator – This is how your turret works like a flamethrower. It can burn your enemies within a certain range. You can turn it on or off, and the flames can burn multiple enemies at once.
  • Artillery – This type of turret fires an explosive shot at a location of your choice. Similar to a grenade launcher, you can only fire a single shot at a time, and the projectiles cover a small area. This mod belongs to the demolition specialist.
  • Sniper – Similar to the assault mod, this turret automatically targets your enemies. However, it shoots semi-automatically, dealing more damage per hit. It also has a greater range.

You can read the original entry of the Division 2 blog on the official site.

What are the best unique and cool classes in MMORPGs?

Pretty much every MMORPG has classes, but usually they are nothing special. However, some online role-playing games have particularly crazy and unique classes. Here we present a bunch of such classes and let you vote on which ones are the best.

Blade & Soul

The classes in most MMORPGs are often just the same variations of warrior, mage, healer, and rogue. Sometimes there are weird hybrids of the archetypes, but they are rarely really original.

Therefore, it is all the more interesting when a class stands out from the crowd and is truly cool, crazy, or unique. A good example of such a class is the newly introduced Graffiti Artist from Aion. She fights with paint and slows down enemies. Additionally, she is a wonderful group supporter.

MeinMMO is looking for the coolest MMORPG classes

Among the unusual classes, there are some that are particularly well done. Therefore, we want to know from you which classes you find particularly cool.

Examples include the Revenant from Guild Wars 2, who channels the souls of famous heroes and has different skills and play styles depending on the soul. In both installments of the game, there is the Mesmer, who drives enemies insane with illusions and doubles. The Dervish from the first installment was also extremely cool, swinging a scythe and using buffs and debuffs to enhance himself further.

guild wars 2 derwisch

In Blade & Soul, on the other hand, the Kung Fu Master is a tank class that negates a lot of damage when you master the complex combos and blocks. A similar gameplay is also required from the Guardian in Lord of the Rings Online. If you prefer something simpler, you can play as a Summoner, who calls a cat to do all the work.

A whole bunch of cool classes can be found in Dark Age of Camelot. There you can summon wild mushrooms as an Animist. Or as a Theurg, spam the enemy with tons of summoned pets.

final fantasy xiv barde vortex

The Bard in Final Fantasy XIV, on the other hand, is a rather conservative support hero who can actually make and play music with his lute.

Choose your favorite class: But enough of our suggestions. We would like to know from you which classes you find particularly cool. Name them in the comments and we will later create a poll from them. The best classes will then be crowned and honored in a dedicated article.

SWTOR is working on some of the “most exciting storylines” ever

In a blog post, BioWare’s General Manager explained that there are big plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic. An end seems to be not in sight.

In recent weeks and months, the MMORPG SWTOR has become quieter. While there are still small updates with mini content drops, like the recent new Huttball map, the great content flood is missing.

swtor-kotet-vaylin-senya-battle

A bit of hope is now given by one of BioWare’s heads, General Manager Casey Hudson.

What was said? In a blog post, the “November Update,” Hudson also said a few words about SWTOR:

“And even as we prepare for new projects, our team on Star Wars: The Old Republic is hard at work delivering ongoing entertainment – they are developing new worlds and storylines that are among the most ambitious and exciting I have seen from the game so far.”

Community is skeptical: The community of Star Wars: The Old Republic is rather skeptical about these announcements. According to some players, the content flow has significantly decreased in recent months and the quality has also declined.

Swtor kotfe valkorion

Many fans hope and wait for a brand new expansion, with a large cohesive story and a nice cinematic. An announcement about this is still pending, which worries the fans. At least the roadmap for fall 2018 is almost completed.

Hope for Mass Effect? But Hudson also gives hope to other franchises, such as Mass Effect. In the letter, he mentions that there are still plans for the future regarding Mass Effect. However, an announcement or concrete reveal of what that might be has not yet been made. So we must continue to wonder if the series has died with “Andromeda”.

What do you think of these words? Is this a hopeful, promising look into the future for you? Or is it just “PR talk” without substance?

Destiny 2: When does the Power Level increase in Season 5? This is what Bungie says

In Season 5, the power level cap in Destiny 2 is supposed to be increased. However, even though Season 5 is already underway, the new max power level is not yet active. Now Bungie has clarified the situation.

Recently, the developers of Destiny 2 announced that as part of the Season 5, the Season of the Forge, the maximum power level of the Guardians will rise – as a free update for all owners of the Forsaken expansion. The power level cap is set to increase by 50 points per season; in the current season, that would be 650. However, the change is still awaited.

New Power Level Cap in Season 5 – What You Need to Know

This is why many players are confused: Bungie’s announcement has caused confusion among players. After all, Season 5 has already begun on November 27. Progressing in power level beyond the current cap of 600 is currently impossible.

In the Gameplay Calendar, a kind of roadmap for the second year of Destiny 2, the feature is listed without a specific date for the period from December 2018 to February 2019.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_01

This is what Bungie says: Now Bungie has cleared up all uncertainties in its current “This Week at Bungie” blog (TWaB) and revealed further details about power level progression.

The new cap will come with update 2.1.1. This will be the update that is released next Tuesday, December 4, with the launch of the first premium DLC  “The Black Armory“. The new level cap can then be reached by all owners of Forsaken; the Annual Pass is not required for this.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_04

The soft cap will remain at power level 500 – just like in the Forsaken expansion. A soft cap is a kind of limit up to which players level relatively quickly. Because loot up to this limit can be found almost everywhere.

After that, you will only find power upgrades, so-called powerful rewards, through specific sources, of which the pool is limited. This pool remains unchanged for all owners of Forsaken. Buyers of the Annual Pass will receive additional new sources for powerful gear.

For players under a power level of 550, Prism Engrams will drop more frequently and provide a higher power increase so they can reach endgame levels faster.

New information about the level requirements in the raid: In light of the new power level cap, the studio also discussed the power level requirements for the upcoming new raid “Scourge of the Past”. The recommended power level will be 640 – only 10 levels below the new level cap.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Raid_Teaser_01

However, there will not be a minimum level required to enter the raid. The further the guardians progress within the three days of preparation, the easier the first foray into the new raid should be for them. This starts on December 7, 2018, at 6 PM our time.

By the way: Actually, the veteran rewards were also supposed to be delivered with update 2.1.1 on December 4 as a token of gratitude to all players who played Forsaken until October 16, 2018. This date has now been postponed due to technical difficulties to December 18.

It is currently raining burnt boats in Red Dead Online

In Red Dead Online, players are reporting an absurd glitch or exploit. Apparently, boats suddenly fall from the sky in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. The streets of Saint Denis are partially clogged with burnt-out boats.

Where is it raining boats? In the city of Saint Denis, boat showers are becoming more frequent.

As the US site Kotaku reports, it is growing into a sort of natural phenomenon. The boats either appear in places where they simply don’t belong, or they even fall from the sky.

Source: Twitter

On reddit, players of Red Dead Online are discussing the boats. On social networks like Twitter, they exchange photos of their random encounters with boats.

If too many boats are lying in the streets, even performance issues arise, it is said. Additionally, invisible debris is said to be haunting the streets of Saint Denis and causing problems.

No one can currently explain what exactly is going on and why so many boats are populating the city. Players report they have discovered dozens of burnt-out boats.

What is causing this? No one knows, a statement from developer Rockstar is still pending.

  • Some think it is merely a glitch that one would expect in a beta. Rockstar had specifically pointed out that such problems can occur in the beta.
  • However, a player on reddit believes that someone with malicious intent is behind it. He says: “Someone is making it rain boats. Someone must have probably found an exploit to spawn boats. Yesterday, it rained boats.”
  • Others even suspect that there could be ‘hackers’ at work.

But there is no confirmation for that yet.

How players are reacting: Players are currently reacting amused by these bizarre encounters. The bug seems simply too absurd to be taken seriously.

Players merely state curiously and truthfully: “Red Dead Online has burnt-out boats spawning on the streets of Saint Denis.”

Fortnite: What’s hidden in the snowstorm of Season 7

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, players have been seeing a snowstorm approaching for some time now. However, the storm is actually something completely different. In truth, an iceberg is approaching the island.

This is behind the snowstorm: For some time now, you can observe a snowstorm on the horizon. However, players have taken a closer look and discovered that it is actually a massive iceberg. It is getting closer and holds even more secrets.

A castle is indeed coming!

A player discovered this in the ice: Sharp-eyed players have spotted a kind of building on the iceberg. However, only a Reddit user who glitched to the horizon could see exactly what was protruding from the ice.

fn-eisberg-burg

From close up, you can immediately tell that a crenelated watchtower is protruding from the ice. It seems that a massive fortress or castle is frozen in the iceberg.

What do the iceberg and the fortress mean?

The iceberg is slowly approaching the coastline of the Fortnite island. However, it is unlikely to arrive immediately as Season 7 is expected to start on December 6. However, the iceberg could eventually bump into the island during the season and significantly enlarge it.

Is the Fortnite map expanding? That would be a first for Fortnite, as the map has constantly been reshaped, but its overall size has always remained the same. With the iceberg and the castle on it, the island would be expanding for the first time.

Source: Reddit

These clues are about the killer robots: Additionally, some players suspect a connection between the iceberg and the Robot A.I.M. It seems to originate from this iceberg island, as it has frozen limbs. Furthermore, the symbol of the robot was discovered when the sounds of the approaching snowstorm/iceberg were run through a spectrograph.

A.I.M

So, is an army of killer bots really coming out of the iceberg, as this leak suggests?

Red Dead Online: How to find Western names for your cowboy

The multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 has started, allowing you to create your own cowboys and cowgirls. If you’re still looking for the perfect name in the Wild West, our tips might help you.

Some of you have already started in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. Others might still be waiting for their chance to get started in the beta of Red Dead Online. For those of you who are still thinking about the perfect Wild West name for your alter ego, we have gathered some examples and tips.

How to find your Wild West name for Red Dead Online

On the internet, you will definitely find authentic names from the Wild West and their meanings. Some baby name websites can also help you with older names.

Websites for parents, baby name sites

On many name websites, you can learn about authentic names that have fallen out of fashion. You will often also find further information, such as the meaning or popularity of the names.

Red Dead Redemption Bounty title

Most people can imagine that the name Butch is derived from the English word ‘butcher’, which actually means butcher. But did you know that Carson means “son who lives in the swamp” or that Wayne stands for “craftsman or wagon driver”?

Suitable names from the time of legendary gunslingers and outlaws for male and female outlaws can easily be found on such name sites. Suitable websites include Babycenter or SheKnows.

Real and fictional people of the Wild West

If you’re already looking for a name for a cowboy or a cowgirl, you can also draw from known real or fictional characters. Many websites offer information about the Wild West and its inhabitants.

On Wikipedia, you’ll find many articles about real people of the time and how they lived. But also information about fictional characters from stories, films, or television.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Duell

There are also some websites that specialize in information about known cowboys and gunslingers. The website Linger and Look presents some well-known figures with pictures and indicates how they lived and died.

You can read, for example, that the notorious bandit queen Belle Starr, who stole horses and smuggled whiskey, was shot in an ambush at the age of 40. The famous outlaw Kid Curry, on the other hand, committed suicide in a shootout in 1904.

However, you can also simply look to your favorite characters from westerns. But don’t be surprised if you often come across a “King Schultz” or “Lucky Luke”. More names from film and television can again be found on Linger and Look, some figures even include the names of their horses.

You can also make it very easy by taking a name from the gang in the single-player mode of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead redemption 2 Pferde

Name generators

Name generators are already in use by some of you. They help us find names for various genres, whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or specific games and franchises.

There are also generators for the Wild West that provide you with various names for your male or female cowboy. Some generators even deliver the appropriate outlaw or nickname, so you can immediately piece together the right backstory for your character.

On the site FantasyNameGenerators, you can find cowboy names like:

  • Isaac ‘Wolf’ Nichols
  • Calvin ‘Immoral’ Casey
  • Abraham ‘Gravedigger’ Moody

Female outlaws find names like:

  • Jessie ‘the Con’ Robles
  • Ruby ‘Killer’ Roberts
  • Grace ‘the Devil’ Stein

Have you already found the right name for your character in Red Dead Online? How did you choose the name or how do you want to name your cowboy?

Fallout 76: Player tames incredibly dangerous mutant bear

The Fallout series has always provided players with companions. In Fallout 76, these no longer exist in this form. However, one player has managed to tame an animal that is also one of the most dangerous.

What kind of animal was tamed? The player warbrand2 reported on the official Bethesda forum that he was able to tame a Yao Guai in Fallout 76. Yao Guai are mutated black bears and quite dangerous, especially for newcomers. As proof, he provided a screenshot.

Fallout 76 tamed yao guai

This is how the first animal was tamed in Fallout 76

How did warbrand2 tame the bear? According to his story in the forum, warbrand2 found a “crippled” Yao Guai near a forest. The animal was walking alone along a road.

Although the Yao Guai was marked as aggressive (red health bar), it did not attack warbrand2. Instead, the player approached with the “Animal Friend” perk and tried to calm the Yao Guai.

The result was a message that he had tamed the Yao Guai and can now send it to his C.A.M.P. to guard it.

Fallout 76 yao guai screenshot

What do tamed animals do? According to warbrand2, tamed animals can be used as guards in the C.A.M.P. A tamed animal can be sent to the camp after taming to protect it from attackers.

So they are not real “animal companions”. Whether they will become that remains to be seen. At least in the calmed state, they apparently protect players for a while.

There is no official response from Bethesda. However, there are already plans for the upcoming updates of Fallout 76.

Fallout 76 Wasteland Cafe

You need charisma and perks: In Fallout 76, you gain most special abilities through perks, which you equip and manage through the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system of Fallout 76. According to warbrand2, you need certain requirements to tame:

  • the “Animal Friend” perk at level 3
  • a charisma value of at least 6
  • a specific Yao Guai

“Animal Friend” gives you the chance to calm low-level animals with a probability of 25% per level. Warbrand2 does not elaborate on why the increased charisma is needed.

The player also reports that he could only tame the “crippled” Yao Guai. These roam alone through the land and along the roads and do not attack you, even though they are classified as aggressive. You should not try with Yao Guai in a group.

Fallout 76 Animal Friend Perk

Can other animals be tamed? The post in the forum has grown over time. The user BaseDweller has encountered a description of the perk in a wiki that also shows other animals as possible tamable guards.

Most of the animals are smaller ones like beavers, dogs, mole rats or opossums. However, the list also includes larger creatures that would make much more formidable guards:

fallout 76 sloth

It is also stated in the perk description on the wiki that taming can happen with a low chance instead of calming. So far, warbrand2 is the only player known to have achieved taming. Whether all this is true remains to be seen.

Have you been able to tame an animal? Leave us a comment or discuss with other players in our Fallout group. For more info and news about the game, visit us on Facebook.

If a Yao Guai is attacking you, experienced players will surely be happy to help. This is how lovingly players care for newcomers in Fallout 76.

The currently heaviest opponent in Destiny 2 is this ogre

Currently, many Guardians are reporting an insurmountable obstacle in the Forsaken raid Last Wish. The gigantic ogre Morgeth turns out to be Destiny 2 as invincible. What is going on?

Destiny 2 is in a state of limbo: With the release of Season 5, Bungie has indicated that there may be unexpected issues that might only be resolved next week, when the Black Armory launches.

Unfortunately, an error has also crept into the raid “Last Wish” that prevents any progress under certain circumstances. Many Guardians are reporting on Reddit and also on MeinMMO about a bug that prevents the gigantic, misshapen ogre Morgeth from being defeated.

destiny-2-träumende-stadt

This is how the “Morgeth problem” manifests: Once the ogre reaches 50% strength, the game crashes. Neither switching weapons nor changing team composition makes a difference. Destiny 2 crashes regardless of whether you have already dealt damage to the ogre or not.

Fortunately, the creative community has found a (admittedly tricky) workaround.

This is how to avoid the ogre crash: Simply take down the beast before it reaches 50% strength. This is not easy, but doable. Set up a Well of Radiance, equip the freshly nerfed Ikelos shotgun (yes, it’s still the best choice for the job), have a Titan create a melting point, and fire everything you have.

destiny-2-dreaming-city-week-3-title

You can also handle it in two damage phases, but you must incapacitate the ogre in time.

This way, you can take down the ogre before the game crashes. Alternatively, you can simply input a wish that allows you to start after the ogre (but who would want that?).

It is not known if the bug occurs on all platforms. At least PlayStation and Xbox players are reporting the issue on Reddit. Bungie has also recognized that this approach cannot be a permanent solution – and is responding.

destiny-2-raid-letzter-wunsch

This is what Bungie has to say about the ogre problem: Via Twitter, Bungie announced that they are aware of the issue and are currently investigating it. However, when a fix can be expected remains uncertain.

Patch expected next week: At the latest by next Tuesday, the problem should be resolved. Then players will download another patch that will fix the most urgent issues and unlock the Black Armory for season pass buyers.

Have you been spared from this problem? Or was the ogre also an insurmountable obstacle for you?

One of the largest MMORPGs in the world gets a remastered version

The MMORPG classic Lineage from South Korea is set to be re-released as a Remastered version. The original game has been around for 20 years, and now it is being revamped as “Lineage: Remastered.”

What will be included in the Remastered version? On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Lineage, NCSoft has announced a overhauled version “Lineage: Remastered.”

Lineage is considered one of the most significant games in Korea, still has nearly a million players, and has existed since 1998. The Remastered version aims to make the game more attractive again and modernize nearly every aspect of the game:

  • The graphics will be pushed up to full HD resolution. This is four times higher than before. The frame rate will also be doubled.
  • The user interface will also be thoroughly revamped and made clearer.
  • There will be an autoplay version for automatic grinding.
  • Additionally, there will be app support to monitor your character from a mobile device.
  • The new class “Swordsman” will be introduced.
  • A new PvP mode “World-Siege” will allow sieges among all 8 servers.

Auto-Grind and Mobile Support as the most important new features

According to the Korean news site InvenGlobal, especially the functions for automatic grinding and the mobile app are major highlights of Lineage: Remastered.

Lineage Artwork

How Autoplay works: The auto-grind falls under the new Player Support System (PPS). It has 35 functions, including the ability to set various grind spots and a return function.

This would perfect autoplay, which many Korean gamers greatly appreciate.

How the M-Player App works: With the “M-Player,” the mobile app for the game, you can check your hero’s stats in real-time at any time. Ideal when they are grinding autonomously and unexpectedly get into danger.

What sets the new Swordsman class apart: The new Swordsman is set to wield great swords and is expected to become the best DPS class in the game in terms of damage. Moreover, he will have a skill that neutralizes the defensive abilities of opponents.

When and how can I play Lineage Remastered? The Remastered version of Lineage is scheduled to run on the test server in December 2018. You can register for it starting November 29, but unfortunately, this only applies to Korea, as the western servers for the game were shut down in 2011.

Fortnite: In week 10 (S6) you will find the banner, no star

Week 10 of Season 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale has hidden a banner again. The clue is provided by a wallpaper.

Once a week, the challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale change for players. Season 6 has now reached Week 10, and the tasks were published on Thursday. This week, you should build many structures, visit Viking ships, or participate in cool time trials.

If you have completed all this, a secret banner awaits you.

How to find the banner? Season 6 is themed around the hunting group in Fortnite. With new loading screens, the developers provide players with hints about where the banner is hidden. They just need to pick it up.

Where to find the secret banner from Week 10?

This week’s loading screen shows a scene that radiates good vibes. On stage stands a musician, the well-known Battle Pass skin DJ Yonder, between huge speaker towers. To the side, you can see a guitarist with a Nightshade skin, being closely watched by Robot A.I.M.

The cheering crowd in the foreground consists of Fortnite characters who seem to celebrate the music. The hint to the banner is hidden on a speaker box. This time, however, not in the form of a banner.

Fortnite Season 6 Week 10 Wallpaper

And here is the clue: Coordinates are marked on a speaker. Below is the llama head.

Fortnite Season 6 Week 10 Wallpaper Hint

Where to search? The wallpaper suggests that the secret hideout this week lies at the coordinates G8G9, H8H9. Look directly at the border of the 4 positions, in the middle. Then you should find the banner.

Fortnite Map Coordinates Week 10 Star

Requirement for the secret banner: To find the banner, you must first complete all standard tasks from Week 10. After that, you can interact with the banner at the location and collect it.

Video Explanation: To ensure you find the right spot and don’t run around the spawn point of the banner in vain, we are embedding a video here that shows the location.

Beware, campers: As always, be cautious of campers. They often wait for players looking to collect secret banners or stars and take them out from ambush. So first check your surroundings to make sure you are safe.

A crazy fan has recreated Suramar from WoW in HD

Suramar is one of the most beautiful places in World of Warcraft. But this render version pales in comparison to the original.

Players of World of Warcraft often ask the question: What would a WoW 2 look like? How would World of Warcraft look in the Unreal Engine? The past has already provided some examples, such as:

WoW Suramar HD 1

Now, the user lornek on Reddit has taken three days to process the great city of Suramar through various programs.

What is Suramar? Suramar was not only an endgame area of the last expansion “Legion” but also one of the largest story areas Blizzard has ever implemented. Today, Suramar is the starting zone of the Nightborne, an allied race of the Horde.

The end result of lornek’s efforts is the city of the Nightborne in high-resolution quality. Additionally, there are better lighting effects, making Suramar shine in a completely new light.

Not sure why but I just spent like 3 days coding a conversion tool to export WoW into my VFX software package. Still miles to go…but here’s Suramar City. from r/wow

A post reveals that he “doesn’t really know why he spent the last three days importing Suramar”. In the end, it seems to come down to the fact that he “saves it and posts it to be rewarded with internet points”.

WoW Suramar HD 2

If you’re interested in the exact process with numerous work steps, you can find them explained by lornek in our sources. Without the corresponding expertise with the appropriate software, however, it might sound strongly like “cyber gibberish”.

What do you think of this little camera movement over Suramar? Would you like to experience an entire World of Warcraft in enhanced graphics? Or is it exactly the current graphic style that still makes WoW appealing after all these years?

The big computer fair Cebit is closing – Does that bother you?

The big German computer fair Cebit will probably not take place in 2019. The fair is thus dead. What is your opinion on this?

What happened? Recently, the end of Cebit was surprisingly announced. The Cebit fair in Hanover has existed since 1986.

That’s why Cebit is closing: The large German computer fair with the strange name “Centrum für Büroautomation, Informationstechnologie und Telekommunikation” was only able to attract a few exhibitors.

So far, only 6,000 square meters of exhibition space had been rented. In 2018, it was three times as much at the same time.

Additionally, the visitor numbers steadily declined:

  • In 2001, record numbers of over 800,000 visitors were counted.
  • In 2017, there were only about 120,000.

According to the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung, those were still inflated numbers. In reality, only 75,000 visitors were present on the grounds.

Computersucht

The Cebit would have been a huge financial loss in 2019, which is why the emergency brake was pulled, and the fair was canceled. As a replacement, the much larger Hanover fair will serve, which was already in competition with Cebit.

Ferris wheel didn’t help

Why is Cebit dead? One reason for the decline was, among other things, the already mentioned competition with the large Hanover fair, which covered similar topics.

Computer keyboard

Moreover, the topic of computers is no longer a niche that would be addressed at a single fair, believes Lower Saxony’s Prime Minister Stephan Weil in an interview with NDR. Rather, the topic “computer” is now represented at several fairs, including GamesCom and E3, and Cebit no longer held the status it once did.

Furthermore, the fair had been heavily focused on professional visitors and seriousness for years. Private visitors and computer games were not welcomed. In 2017, they wanted to change this and give the fair more of an event character, including live music and a Ferris wheel. This, however, apparently did not help.

What is your opinion? But enough about the reasons for the downfall of Cebit. What do you think of this development? Is it good that the fair, which nobody needs anymore, is now coming to an end? Or could Cebit have been saved after all? Participate in our embedded survey and share your opinion with us.

Fortnite: How to find your Viking ship, camel, battle bus

In Week 10 of Season 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to visit three locations again: the Viking Ship, a Camel, and the Battle Bus. In this article, we will explain where you can find the Viking Ship, the Camel, and the crashed Battle Bus on the Fortnite map.

In the 10th week of Season 6, it’s time to visit more or less hard-to-find places again. The Viking Ship should be known to most, but where is the Camel and where on earth can you find the crashed Battle Bus?

Fortunately, you don’t have to find all three locations in the same round. They are far apart and hardly reachable in one go, as the storm will catch you along the way.

fn-map-wikinger-kamel-bus

Here is the Viking Ship in Fortnite

Where is the Viking Ship? The Norse ship has been clearly visible since Season 5. It is located in the middle of a high mountain in the northwest of Greasy Grove at coordinates B6. Land there and the first part of the Week 10 task should be done.

The Location of the Camel in Fortnite

Where is the Camel in Fortnite?: The Camel is a bit trickier to find, but some of you may have seen it before. It is standing as a statue at the southern entrance to the desert area in the southeast. Search at coordinates G9 and you should solve the task quickly.

fn-kamel

There you will find the crashed Battle Bus

Where is the crashed Battle Bus? The crashed Battle Bus has been located elsewhere since the Halloween event than it used to be. If you want to find the wreck of the Battle Bus, you have to go north to Lazy Links to the golf courses. Look for it at coordinates E3 and you should quickly find the wreck of the Battle Bus.

Watch out when searching for locations!

As always, the locations you are looking for are also known to your opponents. And some villains have nothing better to do than to ambush you while you complete your challenges. So be careful and scout the area well before you just run there.

Destiny 2: Is a new raid coming or just a raid lair?

The first premium DLC “The Black Armory” brings a new raid for all Annual Pass holders to Destiny 2. We summarize all the known information so far for you and clarify whether it is a raid or a raid lair.

The Black Armory, the first of a total of three premium DLCs for Season Pass holders, starts on December 4, 2018. In addition to new exotics and quests as well as a new activity for groups and a new vendor, this first premium content delivery also brings a new raid. But what can the Guardians expect in this new endgame content?

The new raid “Scourge of the Past” – Here is what is known so far

The name and the setting: As the studio recently announced, the raid will be called “Scourge of the Past” (translated, but not officially: Scourge of the Past) and will take place in the ruins of the Last City on Earth. It is the city you can see from the Tower and above which the Traveler hovers.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Raid_Teaser_01
A teaser released by Bungie for the new raid

When does the new raid start? Scourge of the Past will start on December 7, on a Friday, at 6:00 PM. According to Bungie, there will also be an official World-First race.

What are the requirements for the raid? For Scourge of the Past, a power level of 640 is recommended. This is only 10 levels below the new power level cap of 650. However, there will not be a minimum requirement for participating in the raid regarding the power level.

The Guardians have a three-day preparation period for the new raid. The further they increase in power level, the easier the first trip into the ruins of the Last City should be for them.

What is known about the contents of the raid? The studio has not released too much information about this. However, Bungie compares the new raid to “Wrath of the Machines” from Destiny 1. The battles are said to be just as action-packed and adrenaline-fueled as in the raid of the expansion “The Rise of Iron.”

destiny-zorn-raid
“Wrath of the Machines” raid from Destiny 1

In addition, you will be able to use vehicles (Sparrows have been shown) in Scourge of the Past. However, the raid team has experimented with some new ideas that differentiate the battles from previous raids.

The enemies in the new raid: Potential enemies have also already been established. Although Bungie has not officially commented on this, early database entries suggest that it will be against Fallen.

It is said in the raid description: “Beneath the ruins of the Last City lies the most valuable treasure of the Black Armory, which is now besieged by Siviks and his crew, the Kell’s Scourge.”

Destiny 2 Forsaken LostSector 2

Siviks himself is a Fallen and also the leader of the Kell’s Scourge Syndicate – a group of anti-everything Fallen who spread chaos and terror wherever they go. Whether they are regular Fallen or SIVA-modified enemies is currently not yet clear.

What is the scope of the new raid? Is it a raid or a raid lair? What scope can one expect from the new raid? These are questions that many players are currently asking. Because when the first information came, there was confusion among the fans.

In previous roadmaps and in the comments of the developers, it was always referred to a new raid lair within the framework of the Black Armory. Even before the release of Forsaken, Bungie stated that they would stick to the raid lair model in the future . But now everyone is talking about raids.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Forge1_04

The studio has now cleared up these uncertainties. There are raids in various sizes, according to Bungie. Scourge of the Past will be larger than the raid lairs Star Chamber and World Eater for the Leviathan Raid, but smaller than Last Wish from Forsaken – the largest raid Bungie has ever created. In the process, it plays in its own location and has nothing to do with the Forsaken raid.

The developers refer to Scourge of the Past in this context as a raid. Also, in response to explicit inquiries from MeinMMO, Community Manager DeeJ confirmed that it is a raid and not a raid lair.

That’s why the shooter Hell let Loose is the anti-Battlefield

Hell Let Loose is a new multiplayer shooter set in World War II. With its realistic setting and gameplay, it aims to differentiate itself from Battlefield 5 and others. A new trailer shows why that is.

What is Hell Let Loose? This new 50vs50 multiplayer shooter using the Unreal Engine 4 was launched in October 2017 with a Kickstarter goal of $100,000. The funding campaign for Hell Let Loose was extraordinarily successful, raising more than double through crowdfunding.

Realistic World War Atmosphere

What makes Hell Let Loose an anti-Battlefield? Hell Let Loose may seem like a typical World War shooter like Battlefield 5 or Call of Duty WWII at first glance, but it aims to provide radically different gameplay. Instead of quickly hopping around and staging the war as a thrilling action spectacle, Hell Let Loose focuses on hard realism.

hell-let-loose-03

What makes Hell Let Loose so realistic? The battlefield is dark, gray, and muddy. Weapons are tailored for realism, behave like their historical counterparts, and a hit from a carbine or machine gun instantly takes down the opponent. Additionally, aiming well is crucial, and kills are especially achieved when players, as seen in the video, ambush the enemy during retreats or flanking maneuvers. Therefore, running in recklessly and firing from the hip is evidently less effective here.

This is how gameplay differs from Battlefield and others: Gameplay is more tactical and slow. The high speed and ease of movement found in Battlefield or Call of Duty is seemingly absent here. Instead, your heavily laden soldiers struggle through the hail of bullets on devastated battlefields. This gives the game a palpable weight and “grittiness” that fits the dark war scenario extremely well. Players therefore carefully advance on the battlefield and engage in fierce battles for every inch of ground.

An example of the tactical gameplay: When you finally capture a sector after bloody battles, the front line shifts, and you receive resources that will assist you in the ongoing war. This way, you get better respawn options and useful war equipment. There will also be various vehicles and aircraft from the era. So look forward to Tiger tanks.

hell-let-loose-01

Furthermore, there are no colorful soldier skins, which was one of the major controversies of Battlefield V. So anyone wanting a game with maximum historical accuracy from World War II should take a closer look at Hell Let Loose when it goes into Early Access soon.

When will Hell Let Loose be released? The game launches in 2019 on Steam. Early Access will begin in January 2019.

Fortnite: Complete Vehicle Time Trials – The Locations of the Races

In week 10 of Season 6, you need to complete time trials in Fortnite. We will show you the locations of the races. The task is: “Complete vehicle time trials”

Today marks the start of week 10 of Season 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Once again, there are many challenges waiting for you. You need to search chests or visit specific locations. One task requires you to complete time trials with vehicles.

What kind of time trials are there in Fortnite? For the races, you need to grab one of the vehicles in Fortnite, like the ATK, and complete a course within a specified time limit.

Locations of vehicle races in Fortnite

On the Fortnite map, various race start points will be placed at the beginning of the week 10 challenges. You need to travel to these points, get into a vehicle, and complete the races within the time limit.

Where can I find the time trials? We have compiled a list of confirmed locations for the time races, which we will update as more locations are confirmed. The start zones are located at the marked spots on the map below.

Fortnite Map Time Trials

Locations for time trials:

  • Flush Factory: North of Flush Factory, on top of the mountain – You will also find a toilet there
  • Junk Junction: At the large metal llama in the north of Junk Junction
  • Paradise Palms: Look for the red umbrellas when gliding in the east of Paradise Palms – That’s where the race starts
  • Retail Row: Go to the trailer park in the east of Retail Row. The race starts right at the entrance
  • Lazy Links: Follow the path west of the Lazy Links clubhouse to find the race. It starts right at the house

How do I start a trial? Head to the stopwatch icon and interact with it. Then the race should start. It’s best if you already have a vehicle with you. At least a simple shopping cart is usually found nearby. An ATK or the Quad Crasher is recommended. You can find the golf carts (ATKs) here in Fortnite

fortnite-golfkart

What happens next? With your vehicle, you’ll race through the appearing checkpoint icons. They show you the path you need to take to reach the goal. So don’t dawdle, so that you can reach the goal within the given time.

If you are too slow, you will not complete the task and will have to start over.

Here you will find all tasks for week 10 in Season 6 in Fortnite

YouTuber criticizes Fallout 76, calls it a scam – Has a lot of success

There is trouble with the 200€ Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76. An attempt to compensate players here with 5€ in game money has drawn even more ridicule. At the forefront of the protest is YouTuber Skill Up. His devastating review of Fallout 76 has now received one million views on YouTube.

This is what happened: The Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76 comes with a travel bag. According to the description, it was supposed to be made of canvas. In fact, it is made of nylon. The Collector’s Edition was sold for 200€.

When someone at Bethesda inquired, it turned out that a canvas bag was actually planned, but it was deemed “too expensive,” and they replaced it with a cheaper nylon alternative.

Later, Bethesda corrected itself, saying they did not use nylon for cost reasons but because canvas was not available. The whole drama about the canvas bag is explained here.

Much ridicule for 5€ apology

This is how Bethesda wanted to make amends: Bethesda then spread the message on Twitter that anyone who bought a Collector’s Edition could contact support. If they could prove the purchase, they would receive 500 Atoms as compensation.

500 Atoms correspond to about 5€.

This is how players react: This compensation has triggered a lot of ridicule. On reddit/games , there is mockery over Bethesda’s fuss about canvas, “the rarest material on Earth,” and the 5€ compensation. Overall, there is extremely negative sentiment towards Fallout 76 on the general gaming reddit. The topic has dominated the headlines there over the past week.

The strongest response on Twitter to Bethesda’s compensation is “You fail to learn anything” with over 2,200 likes.

YouTuber Skill Up is successfully criticizing Fallout 76

This is what YouTuber Skill Up says: YouTuber Skill Up has taken the lead in the protest against Fallout 76 and he is successful:

  • He wrote under the tweet: “Even the PR department is buggy.”
  • He tweeted that he tested whether the statement about the 5€ compensation came from a parody account 85 times.
  • Skill Up also changed his Twitter name to “Skill Up thanks Todd for 500 Atoms.”

At the same time, Skill Up’s devastating review of “Fallout 76” has shot up to one million views. In the YouTube review, he states that Fallout 76 is “morally, technically, and creatively bankrupt.”

He accuses Bethesda of lying and cheating in the presentation of the game. Fallout 76 shows the laziness of the developers in many places.

The video currently has 48,301 upvotes – compared to 4,404 downvotes.

Skill Up says he couldn’t be happier that the video is doing so well. He hopes it protects people from spending money on this scam.

This is the impact on Skill Up: The YouTuber describes his channel in the description as “balanced, deep and mature gaming coverage of core games.”

His channel seems to be getting a strong boost from Fallout 76. In recent days, since the video went online, he has gained 2,000 subscribers daily, and the view count has also risen significantly thanks to the review.

Before that, he was a YouTuber for The Division until the game faded from the public eye.

Red Dead Online: These 10 Things Annoy Players in Multiplayer

High prices and no mini-games – fans have compiled their criticism of Red Dead Online. These things are the most bothersome in the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2.

For a few days now, players have been storming the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. In Red Dead Online, they expect new missions and tough PvP modes.

Some fans are now speaking up and listing things that massively bother them about the online mode.

What bothers players about the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2?

On Reddit, user Peanut_Dinosaur wrote a list of 7 things that bother him. The post has already received 2,000 upvotes in just a few hours. Many comments support his opinion, saying: Yes, Rockstar needs to improve this.

These things are bothersome:

  1. Prices are too high for everything
  2. Payouts for missions are too low
  3. No proper beard customization like in singleplayer
  4. No mini-games like poker, blackjack, or watching shows like in singleplayer
  5. No trapper who can craft special animal clothing
  6. Every player’s location is visible on the map
  7. Too many things require a minimum level
Red Dead Online Money Making Title

High prices and low payouts: User Rickyh24 writes about this topic: Why is there so little money as a wage but such crazy prices for something? “I played for 3 hours today, and that was enough to know it’s not worth it. […] I played for 3 hours and can buy 6 or 7 packs of chewing tobacco for that. I’m done with this.” Player Mud_Landry writes: “I played continuously for 6 hours. I bought a shotgun. They really need to do something about this… soon!”

Beard customization was better in singleplayer: If you don’t shave in singleplayer for a few days, you can see facial hair growing. Then there is the option to either trim the whole beard or just adjust the mustache or chin. Many customizations are possible in the campaign. Some fans miss this online.

RDR 2 Poker Table

The mini-games are missing: In singleplayer, players could keep entertained with a game of poker, dominoes, or blackjack. Player Runmtxscape writes: “Is there no poker? I saw it mentioned often before release. That’s really dumb. It would be one of the best parts of the online mode.”

In the wishes for the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, mini-games were often mentioned.

What’s missing about the trapper? In singleplayer mode, the trapper is located at these points on the map. Player holliday50 writes that hunting in the online mode is more challenging. Once the horse dies, it also loses its load. With trigger-happy players in online mode, this happens quickly.

“Also consider that the trapper no longer exists. Hunting anywhere in the north therefore requires a long journey back and a lot of luck to even reach a butcher to sell to.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 Trapper

Players can see every player on the map: Players want the locations not to be constantly shown. Dirty03 writes: “I would definitely like to see a player’s location disappear. Unless you’re robbing a stagecoach or something.” Player Mrtrollham writes: “Wait, why is every player’s location visible on the map? WTF – What kind of nonsense is that?”

Are the level restrictions too harsh? Players complain that you need to reach certain levels to buy different things like weapons. Many wish for a loosening of this. “In GTA Online, you could at least immediately buy a pistol without grinding for several hours,” writes user Yahdakes.

red dead redemption poll header

These points also annoy

In the comments, other players elaborate on Peanut_Dinosaur’s 7-point list. Especially these 3 points receive a lot of support from the community:

  • Voice chat across the entire map is annoying
    • Player ConceptCutthroat writes that he would prefer servers where voice chat is localized and you only hear players nearby. He is annoyed that he hears other players talking who are 3 states away. The radius for voice chat is just too large.
  • Core values of the horses shrink inappropriately
    • “Every time you feed your horse and then enter a mission or a cutscene, the cores of the horses lose 75% energy. So I have to feed them again, even though I just did that a minute ago,” writes user sai911, complaining that he has had to waste so much money feeding his horse.
  • Player killing has too few consequences
    • This point keeps coming up as a complaint. Players behave like a bull in a china shop, constantly killing other players and only losing honor for it. User holliday50 writes that in singleplayer, the law immediately steps in when you start a shootout in a town. The law enforcement aspect is missing in online mode.
