Black Desert will have a Battle Royale with everything that goes with it

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 4 minutes

Black Desert will be expanding this winter with a new PvP mode called Shadow Arena. Guilds can also participate in the new Territory War, where they compete alongside other guilds from their region against other regions.

Black Desert is also jumping on the battle royale bandwagon. The new mode Shadow Arena allows you to play as a small, cute black spirit. In the new Territory Wars, you fight side by side with members of other guilds from the same region for dominance in Black Desert.

Shadow Arena is a new battle royale mode

What is the Shadow Arena? In the Shadow Arena, you start as a black spirit and must possess stationary NPCs to fight through them. The NPCs take on the forms of the existing classes in Black Desert Online. The classes do not have access to their powerful awakening abilities.

Black Desert Shadow Arena

All players start with the same poor gear but can find chests in the field or defeat monsters to strengthen their character. The gear of defeated opponents can also be looted and worn.

In terms of gameplay, Shadow Arena is similar to other battle royale games like Fortnite and PUBG. With the addition of a battle royale mode, Black Desert is keeping up with the trend. The Shadow Arena is set to be released this winter.

Players think: Most players have received the announcement of the Shadow Arena positively. They praise that the mode gives new players access to PvP in Black Desert, as players do not have to grind for weeks to prepare their characters.

Black Desert Schwarzgeist
You start in the Shadow Arena as a defenseless black spirit.

However, there is also criticism from players. Some believe that developer Pearl Abyss should have invested resources in other problem areas of the game.

Players can look forward to large scale PvP in the future

Calpheon against Valencia: In Black Desert, there are different regions that players can freely travel through as adventurers, but they are often not friendly towards each other. Particularly between the two areas Calpheon and Valencia, a conflict has been brewing that will soon break out.

Currently, guild members can fight for regions or nodes on the map. Guilds are restricted to confrontations with each other. However, in the new Territory War mode, all guilds controlling nodes of level 3 or 4 in Valencia or Calpheon will fight against all guilds from the respective other area. A massive battle between several guilds will ignite for dominance in Valencia and Calpheon.

Black Desert Territory War

How the Mediah area will be integrated into the new PvP mode is still under discussion. It is being discussed that player guilds in Mediah could decide which side they want to fight on. When Territory War will be released is not yet known. According to developer Pearl Abyss, the mode has a high priority internally.

A new zone is coming: Players travel to O’dyllita

In addition to the two PvP modes, Black Desert will also be expanded with a new area. O’Dyllita is a formerly inaccessible area west of Calpheon.

Collaboration will be rewarded: In the area, you wander through the remnants of the former inhabitants and encounter the tribe of the Turo. Turo are large, powerful beasts that resemble cows in appearance. They move in groups of two to three individuals and should be attacked by multiple players, as several players can loot the remains.

You can take a look at the new area in our image gallery.

In addition to the Turo, players will also encounter the Ahib. Ahib can be defeated alone and reward players with better rewards compared to other monsters of the same level. However, Ahib have abilities with a CC effect, which can quickly become problematic.

However, Black Desert will first see the addition of a new class. Black Desert: Hooray, the new class is coming to Europe immediately.

Evening players in BDO have another chance in PvP

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 3 minutes

At the Black Desert FESTA 2018, developer Pearl Abyss announced the complete removal of the controversial Renown System. This gives casual players a chance to participate in PvP again.

The Renown System was intended to make both long-term players and newcomers stronger. However, with the introduction of Caphras Stones, the gap between casual and long-term players widened.

The Renown Score was supposed to make everyone stronger

What is the Renown Score? The Renown Score was introduced at the beginning of the year and was meant to bring newcomers and veterans together and reduce the distance between them. The system was intended to increase players’ attack power at lower levels to speed up gameplay, and at higher levels, to improve defense to prevent 1-shots from other players. Thus, the Renown System was supposed to strengthen all types of players equally.

Black Desert Lahn 3

However, at release, the system already caused problems. Weaker players had no chance in PvP after the adjustment, while long-term players could easily defeat them. The gap between newcomers and long-term players grew ever wider. Therefore, the system was repeatedly criticized by Black Desert players.

Caphras Stones worsened the problem

In Black Desert, equipment must be improved through a random process, which can also fail. Especially at the highest enhancement levels TRI, TET, or PEN, players have to farm for improvement materials for a very long time, and a failed enhancement attempt can nullify months of gameplay.

Black Desert angry

What are Caphras Stones? The Caphras Stones were supposed to ensure that players could gradually maximize their equipment without relying on the random enhancement system. Equipment can be infused with these stones, increasing the enhancement level. Once the enhancement level reaches 20, the weapon can be upgraded to the next higher tier with a 100% probability. The enhancement levels also increase the attack power and accuracy that the weapon provides.

In combination with the bonuses from the Renown Score, long-term players could overwhelm casual players in PvP.

Black Desert removes the Renown System but retains the Caphras Stones

To solve this problem, developer Pearl Abyss announced at the Black Desert FESTA 2018 the complete removal of the Renown System from the game. At the same time, Pearl Abyss intends to make adjustments to players’ defensive values to create a more balanced PvP experience.

Black Desert Online

Here’s how players are reacting: The announcement generates excitement among Black Desert players. They praise that by abolishing it, the build diversity in the game will increase again, making PvP more enjoyable.

In addition to the removal of the Renown System, the announcement of the new class Archer also generated excitement. Black Desert: Hooray, the new class is coming immediately to Europe.

Destiny 2: The exciting part of the ViDoc is the many new faces

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, a new ViDoc has been released. The most exciting part here are the many new faces among the Bungie developers, says our author Schuhmann. You can see that Bungie has restructured behind the scenes to satisfy the content hunger of the Guardians.

This video is about: On November 27, Bungie released the ViDoc: “The Path to the Future”.

In the video, Bungie presented what the next year will be like, from now until September 2019, when either Destiny 3 or the next “real” expansion comes

The time is to be bridged by 3 episodes included in the Annual Pass.

The exciting part about the video is: Most are certainly focused on what the Bungie employees are presenting there and which images of new Exotics or locations we recognize.

For me, the exciting part is how much personnel is visible in the video. A total of 13 Bungie employees present the individual features and speak.

Thus, we get an insight into how Bungie exactly works, or at least hints of it.

Almost only “Directors” or “Leads” are visible, meaning team leaders at Bungie – similar to “senior department heads” in other companies.

Destiny2_Forsaken_warlock

The following are visible in the video:

  • Justin Truman, Production Director – has been with Bungie for 9 years, originally from the tech side
  • Eric Osborne, Head of Community – the direct boss of DeeJ, a long-timer
  • Steve Cotton, Creative Director – basically the strong man in Forsaken
  • Scott Taylor, Production Director – first seen at Rise of Iron, now the partner of Steve Cotton. The two also worked together in Forsaken as a “Creative/Producer” duo
steve-cotton-taylor-destiny
They were already the team behind Forsaken.
  • Jason Sussman, Art Director – has been with Bungie for 12 years, promoted to “Art Director” in October 2018
  • Evan Nikolich, Design Director – has been with Bungie for 6 years, also recently promoted in November
  • Chris Barrett, Creative Director – Barrett was the hope after the failed launch of Destiny 2, who promised new features and improvements
  • Sam Jones, Production Director – has been with Bungie for 9 years, responsible for working with external studios
  • Danielle Morales, Art Lead (Vicarious Visions)
  • Chris Degnan, Design Lead (Vicarious Visions)
Vicarious-Visions-Destiny
They come from the Activision studio Vicarious Visions.
  • Brian Frank, Design Lead – has been with Bungie for 9 years
  • Josh Hamrick, Design Lead – the famous “hat guy”, friend of all Hunters
  • Greg Peng, Senior Designer
Josh-Hamrick-Destiny
They are also known from the streams with DeeJ.

Many New Faces and Promotions

What does this mean? We can derive a lot just from the personnel:

  • There are many “leaders” at the Director level, often with the same job title. Three Production Directors and three Creative or Design Directors can be recognized alone
  • Bungie has apparently slowly completed the restructuring and formed three teams with their own leaders, who work on different DLCs
  • Also, Vicarious Visions will be working on the Annual Pass. This is the Activision studio that handled the PC port. However, no one from High Moon Studios was in the video. They had probably led the campaign for Forsaken.

Fluch des Osiris: Das B-Team soll jetzt Destiny 2 retten?
von Schuhmann
  • Many of the people who are seen here for the first time have long worked on Destiny but have been promoted and shifted into new roles – as LinkedIn reveals
  • It is particularly noticeable that in October/November 2018, some were promoted to higher roles, probably because independent teams have been formed
  • Many “familiar faces” like Luke Smith, Mark Noseworthy, or Lars Bakken are not visible – they are probably already working on “the next big thing”
  • Instead, the former B-Team with Scott Taylor and Steve Cotton is visible. Chris Barrett is also recognized from the past – all in leadership positions
Luke-Smith-Destiny
No trace of Luke Smith and his crew.

What lies behind it: Bungie has struggled in the first years to develop multiple new DLCs and expansions simultaneously while continuing to maintain the base game. The ambitious master plan for the game could not be fulfilled. Thus, there have been repeatedly long content droughts.

In 2016, an internal restructuring apparently began with a hatchet:

destiny 2 wavesplitter 2

Evidently, this restructuring has now been completed: Many have been promoted and now own “Platoons” formed, which are supposed to drive the content of Destiny 2 forward, while others are already working on future projects.

We will have to wait and see if Bungie can satisfy the content hunger of the players with this technique. Because behind each face in this trailer, there is surely a host of developers working to ensure that the game content this time offers more depth.

We will find out more on Tuesday when the DLC “Black Armory” is released.

Red Dead Online: How to Keep Your Horse Safe from Thieves

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

In the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online, some of your human players are targeting your horses. Here’s how you can make life difficult for horse thieves.

In Red Dead Online, you explore the vast map of Red Dead Redemption 2 with other players. You complete story missions, participate in events, or try your luck in various PvP modes. However, your human players are not always friendly and occasionally try to snag your horse right from under your nose.

Fortunately, with a small setting, you can easily prevent this.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Gang riding out

Small setting secures your horse

This is what it’s about: In the world of Red Dead Online, you can interact with other players almost as you would with NPCs in the single player of RDR 2. You can rob them, engage in wild fistfights, or simply shoot them down. These features await you in online mode.

Some particularly nasty trolls even encourage like-minded players to steal the unsuspecting outlaws’ beloved horses from behind.

Fortunately, there is an option in the online settings to protect your horses and leave the thieves looking foolish.

red-dead-redemption-2-free-roam-menu

Where do I find the option? In online mode, press left on the D-pad to access the free roam menu. Under the “Stable” section, you can access a lot of information about your horse and find the option to protect the animal from thieves. A good system, since players are already complaining about griefers in RDO.

More on the topic
Red Dead Online: These 10 Things Annoy Players in Multiplayer
von Patrick Freese

Under “Stable,” you will find the options “Access to Horse” and “Allow Leading.” If you set “Access to Horse” to only allow you to ride it, other players can get on your horse or jump from another horse onto your animal, but they won’t get very far.

Your horse will not move an inch with another player on it if you have this option enabled. If your horse gets fed up, it will even try to throw off the intruder. Alternatively, you can also manually force other players to get off your animal with the “Dismount” option.

red-dead-redemption-2-free-roam-stall

Remember to also change the “Allow Leading” option. Otherwise, thieves will try to simply run off with your horse.

By the way: Even if you have set both options to only allow you access to your steed, other players can still interact with it. Feeding and petting other horses is still possible with these settings.

But beware of particularly sinister characters: Players are already being warned in the Red Dead Redemption 2 subreddit about those who kill horses simply if they cannot steal them. Arthur Morgan is surely not the only one who sheds a few tears at the death of a beloved horse.

Ballistic fibers are not easy to find

Only a few materials contain the rare ballistic fibers. Therefore, you can’t just go out and gather the material in one specific location.

Here’s how to get ballistic fibers: There are mainly two items from which you can obtain ballistic fibers:

  • Ammunition bags – 2 ballistic fibers
  • Military tape – 2 ballistic fibers, 4 glue

It is highly recommended to select ballistic fibers as a sought item. Then, it will show you for each item whether the sought material is included or not.

Here’s how to obtain ballistic fibers from Power Armors: The Power Armor chassis that you find in the world can also yield ballistic fibers. Depending on the chassis, you can get 1-5 fibers when you break them down.

If you know various locations of the Power Armors, you can simply hop from server to server and hope that a chassis is lying around.

If you are still looking for the blueprints for Power Armor stations: Our guide shows you how to get the blueprint.

Arthur cries in Red Dead Redemption 2 when his beloved horse dies

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

A cowboy naturally builds a bond with his horse. This is even true in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Spoiler Alert: The article contains a scene from the story that involves the death of a horse.

The hero Arthur Morgan may be a hard man, but when it comes to his faithful steed, he shows his softer side.

A cowboy and his horse

How does Arthur Morgan react to the death of his horse? Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of little details that make the game so special. This includes Arthur Morgan’s reaction to the death of his horse.

  • Horses can die in RDR 2
  • If you have built a very high bond with your steed, this does not go unnoticed by hero Arthur
  • Players report that Arthur sheds a tear or two when his horse dies
Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur horse train

When does Arthur cry? According to Reddit user “SycSemperTyrannis08”, Arthur sighed and cried when his horse died and he returned to get the saddle.

The player had built a level 4 bond with his horse. The bond with the animal must be very high to trigger this reaction.

Had a level 4 bond with my horse Hidalgo and he died during a mission. I went back for my saddle and Arthur sobbed for a while after picking it up. That’s some detail, right there. from r/reddeadredemption

Furthermore, there is a moment in the game’s story where something similar happens. Here too, Arthur has to say goodbye to his steed and even thanks him.

That’s why this little detail is important for the game: That this bond and grief extend beyond a cutscene and can even take place in regular gameplay is something many fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 perceive as a fantastic little detail that brings Arthur Morgan to life even more and shows him from a completely different side.

This makes the hero a character that players can identify with and empathize with. Such gaming characters are remembered because of such details.

For players, the horse is important precisely because of the bond that can be built with it. For example, on Reddit, players of Red Dead Redemption 2 discuss how they have lost their horses or what efforts they went through to quickly get “Reviver” to save a severely injured animal from death at the last moment.

Destiny 2 steals the “Everything is okay” meme and that is totally okay

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, Bungie has used an emote based on a famous internet meme, the “This is fine” meme. And that is absolutely okay for the creator of the image.

What is this image? The “This is fine” comic shows a comically drawn dog sitting in a burning room and drinking something that looks like coffee.

While he says:

  • “This is fine.”
  • “I am okay with the way things are developing at the moment.”
  • “It’s okay – things will remain okay.”

While the dog says this, he is engulfed by flames and his face melts away.

This is Fine

Where does the image come from? The image comes from January 2013 and is from a webcomic series by K.C. Green.

The meme is often used to make fun of soothing “PR” language.

The new Sparrow “Burnout” is one of the highlights in the Eververse of Season 5.

This is what the meme looks like in Destiny 2: In Destiny 2, the emote is called “Nothing is wrong” – in German “Alles ist gut.”

This is what the creator says about its use in Destiny 2: KC Green has no problem with the emote in Destiny 2. He says on Twitter, people have asked him if he is getting paid for it.

Green says: “It’s a reference – it’s a parody. That’s nice. I really don’t think it’s a problem.” Green further states, “I didn’t animate that. Whoever animated it should get paid for it.”

Generally, K.C. Green is relaxed when his images are posted on social media. That is everyone’s right. However, he also has limits to his tolerance. When the Republican Party used the meme to mock their opponents, the Democrats, Green expressed his displeasure.

But everything is okay with Destiny 2.

The followers in World of Warcraft are becoming more valuable. We reveal what new abilities they gain in Patch 8.1.

Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance is coming soon to the live servers of World of Warcraft. In addition to the major highlights, such as the new raid “Battle of Dazar’Alor”, the incursions, and new island expeditions, there are also many little things that are being improved and changed.

Followers reach new level: The various followers of the war campaign can collect another 30,000 experience points with Patch 8.1. After that, they will be upgraded from the current maximum level (epic) to legendary.

What does a legendary follower bring? Legendary followers receive a second equipment slot. They can therefore be equipped with another bonus. Most bonus equipment can be crafted by professions. They ensure that the player receives additional resources upon completing a mission, such as ores, herbs, or fish.

The respective engineer follower of both factions receives a different ability at “Legendary” level: It reduces the duration of the mission by 50%, which should have a positive effect, especially for the long missions.

Reactions so far rather negative: The voices from the community regarding this change are rather negative so far. Many find the adjustment unnecessary and have no interest in filling a second equipment slot for the followers. Numerous players say that they haven’t even used the first slot yet because the corresponding items are far too expensive and not worthwhile.

Will you fully equip your legendary followers? Or do you hope that a number of more easily obtainable equips will be released?

Fallout 76: Winzige Mod ändert nur den Titelsong – Ist trotzdem cool

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Do you know the comedy series “The Office”? Here it is known as “Das Büro” and ran for nine seasons. You can experience a touch of “The Office” in the online game Fallout 76.

Do you like playing Fallout 76 and feel like a funnier version of the title song “Take Me Home, Country Roads”? With a mod, you can replace the song with the version from “The Office”.

A small mod with a funny effect

What does the mod do? It is a very simple modification that replaces the song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver with the version from the series “The Office”.

The song plays in the main menu of the game, sung this time by the office employees Andy and Dwight.

How do you install the mod? The installation is very easy:

  • First, download the file from the Nexusmods website
  • Then, create a backup of the file SeventySix – Startup.ba2, which you can find in the Data-Order of Fallout 76
  • Extract the mod file into that folder
  • Then the new song will play in the game

What is The Office? The US comedy series “The Office” aired between 2005 and 2013 and told the story of the lives of the employees in a large office of a US paper wholesale company.

The comedy arose from everyday situations shaped by the personalities of the protagonists.

In Germany, the successful comedy series “Stromberg” was based on “The Office” and relied on a similar principle.

Why should you install the mod? If you want a bit more humor in the game after all the criticism surrounding the online game and are a fan of “The Office”, you will have something to smile about with the mod every time you start Fallout 76.

Red Dead Online has recently launched its beta for all players. In addition to several PvP modes and competitive events, there are also some story missions to undertake. However, the latter are still causing confusion among players: What determines which quests are available and why do missions that have already been unlocked disappear again?

Is the honor of the wrongdoers?

This is how story missions work in RDO: In the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, players can team up with their friends or use the player search to complete quests together. Depending on how players choose the outcome of the mission, they gain honor or lose honor.

red dead redemption survey header

It is suspected that the honor level determines which quests players can accept.

Some missions require high honor, while others need the exact opposite. Players would thus have to farm honor or intentionally lower their current standing to complete all quests.

What missions are there? Currently, it is still unclear how many missions are available in Red Dead Online. The mode is still in beta, so more quests could be added or not all missions are online yet.

Additionally, honor seems to be a crucial factor in why some missions may simply not have been found yet.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Double Revolver

The website Game Rant has put together a small list of already found quests which we have roughly translated into English:

  • Highly Illegal and Highly Immoral
  • Honor Among Horse Thieves
  • If the Hat Fits…
  • Kerosene, Tar, and Greed
  • Kill Them, Each and Every One
  • Love and Honor
  • More Than One Way to Earn a Buck
  • The Right Side of the Tracks
  • Where Your Morals Lead You

By the way: Not only in the online mode do quests disappear. Side missions in Red Dead Redemption 2 might also become scarce.

Have you also lost quests due to your honor level? Or have you found other missions that we haven’t listed?

Destiny 2: How a matchmaking bug ruins fun in Gambit

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

A bug in the player search of Gambit currently causes you to be temporarily excluded from Destiny 2 from this mode before you even start a match. What is going on?

This is what happened: Shortly before the release of the Black Armory, some players reported that the game prevents them from participating in the Gambit mode for a while, even though they have not participated in a match yet. The reason is apparently a bug in the player search.

This is how the error manifests in Gambit: Guardians reported that after canceling player searches several times in a row and exiting the matchmaking process for Gambit, it simply took too long, and they were not assigned any additional players.

D2_Forsaken_Gambit_Vender_03

However, even though all of this happened during the player search, that is, before the actual match began, they were subsequently temporarily excluded from the Gambit mode. They then received an in-game message saying, “You left a Gambit match before it was finished. Leaving Gambit matches negatively affects the experience of other players.”

Bungie is already on it: In the corresponding Reddit thread, which now has over 2,000 upvotes and over 500 comments, Bungie has also spoken out.

The community manager Cozmo thanked for the numerous reports and stated that the studio is already looking into this problem. So this is indeed a bug and not a new, more aggressive penalty system for some activities. When exactly there will be a solution for this is not known.

Destiny 2 forsaken gambit set warlock

This is why this bug is so annoying: That there are penalties for leaving a match early is no longer a secret. Bungie has communicated this clearly and repeatedly. However, the penalties are actually intended for leaving an ongoing game and not for matchmaking—and that is what makes this error so annoying for many.

Because the player search can sometimes really take a long time. Moreover, it is also a common practice for many solo players to avoid encounters with fixed 4-player teams. These teams then leave the matchmaking as soon as they realize they are being matched against a set group. These players are also now penalized.

D2_Forsaken_Gambit_11

The Crucible also seems to be affected: As further fans report in the Gambit thread, this matchmaking bug apparently is not only active in Gambit mode. After reports about this problem emerged, some fans tested whether it also applies to the Crucible. They found that this error currently also occurs there during player search.

The 5 most useless items in the history of Fortnite

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there are a lot of items and weapons, but some of them are quite useless. Here we present the five most pointless and least useful items.

In Fortnite, randomness decides whether you get a awesome golden SCAR or a pathetic gray pistol as loot. However, some items are pretty much always useless and are rarely or never helpful.

The site FortniteIntel has created a top 5 list of the most useless weapons and items. We want to show you the items with which you won’t win a flower pot in Fortnite.

Place 5 – Balloons

Balloons were introduced to the game for Halloween and they can be inflated to float in the air. However, you need five of them, otherwise you just sink slowly to the ground. After a while, they pop by themselves as well.

fn-ballons

Why are they useless? There’s actually only one sensible use for them, as balloons can negate fall damage. But hardly anyone is going to sacrifice valuable inventory space for that. Therefore, they are largely pointless!

Place 4 – Launch Pad

fn-taschenfestung

When you use the Launch Pad, a tower of metal with a tire trampoline in the middle is immediately created.

Why are they useless? Those who can really build don’t need the Launch Pad. And since it takes up an inventory space, it is not a good trade-off if you could have weapons and healing items instead.

Moreover, the tower is too confusing. Additionally, opponents can easily sneak in from below and attack you from behind using the trampoline.

Place 3 – Revolver

fn-revolver

The old version of the revolver was simply a very slow and not very fun pistol.

Why are they useless? The revolver was an extremely unsatisfying weapon. It dealt a lot less damage compared to the hand cannon, had a poor firing rate, and took forever to reload the 6-shot magazine.

The weapon was just not particularly effective. That’s why it was removed in Season 5 and replaced in Season 6 by the better gun.

Place 2 – Minigun

fortnite-battle-royale-minigun

The minigun is a heavy machine gun that allows you to fire continuously without reloading. The weapon only exists as epic and legendary spawns.

Why is it useless? The minigun was once considered too OP, but now it is practically useless. It is only really good for tearing down buildings, and there are better weapons for that as well.

The major problem with the minigun is the long time it takes for this weapon to spin up all the barrels and unleash its full firing rate. Furthermore, you as the shooter are very slow during this time.

All of this makes the weapon practically useless in the fast-paced Fortnite battles. That’s why it’s extremely disappointing when you open a chest and receive a legendary drop, and it’s just the stupid minigun.

Place 1 – Chiller Trap

The Chiller Trap is a type of trap that freezes the opponent’s feet when he steps on it. This causes them to slide around. Otherwise, it does nothing.

Why are they useless? On Reddit, there is a thread with 1.7K upvotes that deals with the uselessness of this item. Players usually throw it away immediately when they accidentally pick it up.

fn-chiller

And that, even though it doesn’t take up any inventory space. The Chiller Trap is really the most useless item in the game!

Do you have any other ideas for useless items or are you dissatisfied with our list?

Heroic basketball saves the team in Overwatch from death

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Sometimes the most absurd situations arise in Overwatch. For most participants, such situations are entertaining, while for some they can be quite frustrating. Like for this Zarya, who will probably hate basketball from now on.

This is what happened: In a match on Nepal Village, one team tried to capture the point. A Zarya from the defending team wanted to stop the team with the help of her ultimate Graviton Surge.

However, the ultimate was blocked by a basketball. A user posted a video on Reddit about it.

Physics Saves Lives

This could happen: In Overwatch, items like basketballs are often spread across the maps. They serve as decoration but also have physics. When attacked, they react and move, get destroyed, or bounce around.

On all maps where teams start in a landing ship, basketballs can be found in the ship. During the preparation phase, they can be hit around the ship or thrown into the available basket.

The balls can also be hit out of the ship by players as soon as the doors open and the round begins. They then become objects on the map that still react to shots and hits.

Overwatch Curious Zarya Bomb

This is how the Graviton Surge works: The Graviton Surge is Zarya’s ultimate ability. It fires a projectile that works like a black hole, pulling all enemies within the area of effect towards it and holding them in place.

When Zarya fires the Graviton Surge, she shoots a projectile similar to her alternate fire mode. The projectile then sticks to the first surface it hits.

In this instance, the first surface was the basketball, which then happily flew across the map without dealing damage or having any effect on the opposing team.

Overwatch Zarya

Is this a bug? Not really. It’s intended for abilities to interact with objects. Basketballs were even previously exploited to create “death balls” by attaching Junkrat’s traps or Symmetra’s turrets to them.

von Cortyn

Such situations, as seen in the clip, are rare and almost impossible to intentionally replicate. Therefore, we cannot recommend carrying around a “tactical basketball” from now on.

Has something like this happened to you? Discuss with other fans in our Overwatch group and also visit us on Facebook for more news about the game.

A bug leads to a completely different but equally absurd situation. This glitch breaks the spines of frozen heroes.

Pokémon GO: Players achieve the impossible, defeating Cresselia with two people

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The raid boss Cresselia in Pokémon GO is definitely doable with a few people. However, only two players have defeated the Pokémon.

Cresselia has been challengeable in raid battles for a few days now, and strong trainers have repeatedly attempted to defeat the legendary Pokémon as a duo. So far, however, all attempts have failed.

Now there are two videos that prove Cresselia can also be defeated with two players. We will show you the videos and reveal how to achieve the impossible.

The weather is crucial

As seen on Reddit and on YouTube, two strong trainers have succeeded in defeating Cresselia as a duo. We will now show you the YouTube video in which the trainers “B1ackWing” and “BlueW1ng” defeated the legendary Pokémon.

Rare weather is important: Only with the right weather is it possible to take down Cresselia as a duo. Since the Ghost-type Pokémon Gengar is the best counter, it needs to be foggy in the game. Foggy weather is by far the rarest. So you need to be lucky if you want to beat Cresselia as a team of two.

This team is required: To defeat Cresselia, you need a complete team of Gengar. For that, the quick move Lick, which it learned only on the Gengar Day. Alternatively, the quick move Dark Pulse is also possible, but it can no longer learn that.

Other Pokémon are also strong against Cresselia, but they cannot defeat the legendary Pokémon in a duo.

Cresselia Guide Pokémon GO

Best friends required: Additionally, you and your partner must be best friends in the game. This will grant you a battle bonus that is crucial.

How many people does it take to defeat Cresselia otherwise? The Psychic-type Pokémon has many weaknesses and can be countered well. Nevertheless, you should only challenge it as three very strong level 40 players. For regular players, a group size of five to six should suffice.

That’s why island expeditions in WoW are much better with patch 8.1

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 8.1 significantly overhauls the Island Expeditions of World of Warcraft. We will tell you why they will soon be more challenging and entertaining.

Island Expeditions have been a feature since the introduction with Battle for Azeroth that divides the community. While some players have a lot of fun on the islands, another group finds it quite tedious. Many players no longer even “torture” themselves for the weekly cap on the islands and even completely avoid this type of content.

With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, Blizzard will significantly revise the islands. We will reveal what will change.

WoW Island Expeditions Blood Elf Cheer title

Fewer enemies on the island: A large portion of the enemies on the islands has vanished. The whole “filler enemies,” like crocodiles or turtles, are now only found in isolated areas and not spread across the entire map. Instead, there is much open space, so you don’t constantly “pull mobs” and can explore more freely.

Many more rare mobs: At the same time, the number of available rare mobs is drastically increased. On each island, there are now dozens of rare mobs standing in small camps.

Higher difficulty: Also new are some mechanics that make it difficult to mass pull enemies. Rare mobs hit significantly harder and sometimes drop “orbs” that shove players around. The more enemies, the more shove orbs, which is a nightmare for spellcasting classes.

New mechanics: New small “events” on the islands are also introduced. You can set up an Azerite extractor that permanently collects Azerite for your faction – or at least until the enemies take it over. Also, “Holdout” missions, which summon increasingly stronger enemies and ultimately a small rare boss, help.

How this all looks is shown by the YouTube channel of Preach Gaming:

Less healing from Azerite orbs: Lastly, the healing from the Azerite orbs that elite enemies leave behind upon death is significantly reduced. Instead of fully healing all players, the healing is now only about 30% of maximum health points. Fallen players are still resurrected, but without having any mana. So, dying is indeed a punishment.

WoW Island Expedition Beach

Additional weekly rewards: Those who complete the weekly cap of 40,000 Azerite also receive new rewards. In addition to the known 2,500 Artifact Power, there is also an epic treasure map. This map unlocks a follower mission every week. This mission grants either 5,000 gold (+ 1,500 Artifact Power as a bonus) or 2,000 Artifact Power (+ 1,500 Artifact Power as a bonus) – making it quite a worthwhile endeavor.

Basically, Island Expeditions do not take longer than before due to these changes, but new strategies must be developed to succeed.

We have more changes to the Island Expeditions here for you.

Are you looking forward to the new Island Expeditions with the changed mechanics? Or are you no longer interested in this feature?

Why Meowth can speak in the series and not in Pokémon GO

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 4 minutes

In our 1. Pokémon GO Advent special, everything is about the Pokémon Meowth. Do you remember the villain from Team Rocket?

Learn the story behind the Pokémon Meowth: Do you remember how Meowth wanted to disturb Ash and his friends with Team Rocket back then? Despite this, Meowth has a soft heart and a sad story to bear.

We want to awaken memories of the helper from Team Rocket and tell you what Meowth can do in Pokémon GO.

Meowth – The biggest enemy of Ash and Pikachu?

Since the first season of the Pokémon anime, Meowth and Team Rocket have been the great enemies of Ash on his journey through the Kanto region. The mean trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth repeatedly tried to make life difficult for the hero of our childhood.

That was Team Rocket’s goal:  In almost every episode of the anime, Team Rocket wanted to capture Ash’s Pikachu and then hand it over to their boss.

However, they never really acted smart. In the end, Ash and his friends always defeated the trio and literally sent them flying.

Meowth and Pikachu
Source: Pokéwiki

That was the team’s most famous line:  When Team Rocket was defeated, they usually flew in a high arc through the air and bid farewell with the line “That was a shot in the oven again!”

A line that many children have heard hundreds of times.

Why Meowth can speak

The Meowth from Team Rocket has a special ability: It can speak. The story behind it is a sad one.

In the anime, it is said that Meowth lived in Hollywood and searched for food on the street with a pack of Meowth, stealing the food as well.

Meowth Pokemon GO
Source: Pokéwiki

One day, Meowth met a female Meowth named Meowsy. It immediately fell in love with Meowsy but had to endure a clear rejection. Meowsy is a well-groomed Pokémon that does not live on the street. It feels drawn to humans.

That’s why Meowth learned to speak: In order to win Meowsy’s heart, Meowth learned to walk upright and also to speak. As a result, it became weaker in battle on the street, but continued to work hard to win Meowsy for itself.

Meowth Pokemon GO 2
Source: Pokéwiki

With its new skills, Meowth approached Meowsy again. She again rejected him, as he now looked like a freak and no longer like a Pokémon. Out of all the sadness, Meowth fled from Hollywood and joined Team Rocket because one of its first words it could say was “Rocket”.

Meowth in Pokémon GO

PokéDex entry: Meowth retracts its sharp claws to be able to sneak around without leaving telltale traces. This Pokémon has a preference for coins that glitter in the light.
 

In Pokémon GO, Meowth does not play a major role. Its evolution, Snorlax, is also not really useful in the game. The stats of both Pokémon are rather average, and with 1689 CP, Snorlax cannot become very strong.

Meowth and Snorlax Pokémon GO

From the 7 km eggs, you can also get the Alolan form of Meowth. This Pokémon is not very popular as loot from the eggs.

Here Snorlax could shine: Possibly, Meowth’s evolution, Snorlax, could become interesting in the new battle mode PvP. There is a league with Pokémon that can have a maximum of 1500 CP. A Snorlax could fit in well there.

Team_Rocket_trio
Source: nintendo.wikia

Team Rocket in Pokémon GO?  A wish many players have is to implement Team Rocket in Pokémon GO. Possibly, the new battle mode also allows NPCs like Team Rocket to be challenged. Fans would be delighted.

Maybe Meowth can then also talk. So far, this Normal-type Pokémon can neither speak nor battle well.

Why can’t Meowth talk in Pokémon GO? No Pokémon can talk in Pokémon GO. Only in the series can Team Rocket’s Meowth and some other Pokémon speak. In Pokémon GO, there are only the “normal” Pokémon, which cannot talk.

If Meowth does not become more interesting in the new PvP mode, then it will probably remain a loser, just like in the anime. That was probably a shot in the oven.

What is the Advent special? For each Advent 2018, we at MeinMMO have prepared a special for our readers. We will introduce you to a special Pokémon story every Sunday until Christmas, possibly also triggering your memories of the earlier Pokémon days.

What do you associate with Meowth? What is your favorite Pokémon?

These field research await you in December.

Fallout 76 had indeed fabric, but only for the chosen ones

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Fallout 76, the cursed canvas strikes again for the third time. It has now come to light that there were indeed canvas backpacks, but not for the Collector’s Edition, rather special swag bags for influencers.

Bethesda finds itself in a situation with Fallout 76 that can be described with a football quote: “First we had no luck, now we’re also unlucky.” And it’s all about the material “canvas,”

This is the misery with the canvas so far:

  • The €200 Collector’s Edition was supposed to come with a canvas bag. There was a bag, but it wasn’t made of canvas, rather it was made of much cheaper nylon.

The bag of evil
  • When a player noticed this, he complained to support. They then stated that the bag was not made of canvas for cost reasons, but rather of nylon. The good canvas bag was only a prototype. And that was that.
  • After this response from support, a shitstorm broke out in the already heated community of Fallout 76.

  • Later, Bethesda apologized for the statement made by the support employee and distanced itself from it. In reality, the bags were made of nylon because there was not enough canvas available. In return, Bethesda granted all purchasers of the Collector’s Edition in-game currency for Fallout 76 worth €5.
  • This did not really improve the situation, but rather invited more ridicule. It was said: “Canvas, the rarest material on the planet.”

How Bethesda got into trouble for the third time

This is what has happened now: A YouTuber has now discovered that at a media event there was indeed a canvas backpack that influencers received.

Backpack of evil
The backpack of evil

This came to light when an influencer unpacked his “swag bag” in an unboxing video. This is what gifts from publishers for influencers are called.

However, these were backpacks and not bags. These backpacks were not made for the Power Armor Edition, but were presumably intended as gifts for YouTubers. However, they are made of canvas, which is the material the bag was supposed to be made of but which Bethesda could not source in sufficient quantity.

It is not known how many of these “good backpacks” are in circulation.

This does not change the fact that people are already furious with Bethesda again. This is now the third time there has been trouble over missing canvas.

Fallout 76 thumbs up in power armor title

This is what Bethesda says: Bethesda has apologized for the initial statement of the support employee (via Bethesda Support), who mentioned the cost reasons. Bethesda strongly distances itself from this statement.

The statements made by the person are “unheard of and inaccurate.” This was a contractual employee and not a spokesperson for Bethesda. And this person had no information about the situation when sending the email.

Currently, they are reviewing the process of deciding which items should go into a Collector’s Edition or not. They say they will do better in the future.

There is still no statement regarding the new incident around the influencer backpack.
