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:
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.
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”.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Even the criticism of the Fallout 76 beta reached record numbers within a month. But the new video is almost as high after 5 days as the beta review was after a month.
Steep career after lean The-Division beginnings
This is how Skill Up’s career has gone so far: In the past, Skill Up has mainly made a name for himself with long and detailed reviews of games like Warframe (very positive) or Destiny 2 (rather negative).
However, Skill Up’s most successful video is not a detailed review but 10 beginner tips for Fortnite.
Before that, he was a YouTuber for The Division until the game faded from the public eye.
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:
Prices are too high for everything
Payouts for missions are too low
No proper beard customization like in singleplayer
No mini-games like poker, blackjack, or watching shows like in singleplayer
No trapper who can craft special animal clothing
Every player’s location is visible on the map
Too many things require a minimum level
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.
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
Keep in mind that Rockstar Games has stated from the beginning that they want to improve the online experience together with the players. They set up a website where players can provide feedback and wishes.
In Rockstar’s newswire, it says:
And we would like to ask each of you to send us feedback on your experience – from suggestions for improving gameplay to ideas for future content. We would love to know what you like, what you particularly enjoy, what you dislike, and any additional options you would like to see or changes you would like to have in Red Dead Online.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the last challenge for Season 6 is online with Week 10. Find out here which challenges and tasks you need to complete in the season finale.
Fun for the finale: In Week 10 of Season 6, the tasks are mostly easy. You need to build things, shoot opponents, and visit locations. The only exciting part is a new time trial for vehicles.
Free and paid: Without a Battle Pass, you can only complete three challenges. If you want to finish all seven tasks, you need to invest 9.50 euros or 950 V-Bucks for the Battle Pass of Season 6.
All Challenges of Week 10 in Season 6
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Challenge 1 – Build Structures
Super easy: This task is something every Fortnite player can do in passing. Really, everyone will eventually build 250 individual building parts. You will need about 2,500 resources for this and can do it in any number of matches.
Challenge 2 – Visit a Viking Ship, a Camel, and a Crashed Battle Bus
Easy to find: The Viking Ship is clearly visible on a mountain in the southwest. You can find the camel on the road west at the southern end of the desert region. The crashed Battle Bus is west of Lazy Links. Fortunately, you do not have to visit all three locations in the same match, which would have been quite difficult. You can find a guide to the locations of the Viking Ship, Camel, and Battle Bus here.
Challenge 3 – Search 7 Chests in Tilted Towers or Paradise Palms (Hard)
Annoying, but easy: It may take some time to open enough chests, but after a few rounds you should have opened them all.
Challenge 4 – Place Turrets in Different Matches (Battle Pass Only)
A last farewell from the turret? Those hoping for a removal of the turret in Season 6 will be disappointed. Because for this task, the turret must necessarily be present, and Epic won’t make this task impossible. But maybe the controversial turret will finally be removed next season?
Challenge 5 – Phase 1: Land at Lazy Links (Battle Pass Only)
Many landings required: Here, you need to land sequentially at Lazy Links, Snobby Shores, Lucky Landing, Lonely Lodge, and Salty Springs. It’s boring, but easy.
Lots of shooting: Here, you need to get a kill with a shotgun first. Then continue with an assault rifle. Finally, you must take down an opponent with a pistol. Do this preferably in a game mode with respawns.
Until now, the content for the second year of Destiny 2 had only been roughly outlined. Now Bungie has elaborated on what Guardians can expect in Year 2 until August 2019.

As in the story of Red Dead Redemption 2, there is also a fast travel in the online mode Red Dead Online. We will describe where to find and use it here.
The online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 has recently entered beta and features fast travel just like the single-player mode. Unlike in the story, however, you do not have to unlock it. We have compiled where you can find fast travel and how to use it.
How to use fast travel in Red Dead Online
Unlinke in the single-player mode, fast travel in Red Dead Online is available from the beginning. However, there are some things you should keep in mind.
Where can you fast travel? You can find a form of fast travel via a signpost in the world. Interact with it to call up fast travel.
The fast travel signposts in RDO have the same icon as the stagecoach in single-player mode. The icon will also be displayed on the map, but you must be relatively close to the signpost for it to appear.
Select your destination: Simply interact with the signpost, and you will see the places you can travel to. The further you are from the respective location, the more expensive your travel will be. We show you how to quickly make money in Red Dead Online here.
Once you have selected your destination, you will be brought to the signpost at that location. After reaching rank 65 in the online mode, you can even set up a signpost at your camp.
Beware: If you still have pelts or carcasses on your horse, they will disappear when using fast travel.
These are the places you can fast travel to
Currently, there are 16 places where you can use fast travel, including your camp:
Your Camp
Tumbleweed
Armadillo
MacFarlane’s Ranch
Manzanita Post
Blackwater
Strawberry
Valentine
Colter
Rhodes
Wapiti
Van Horn
Annesburg
Lagras
Saint Denis
Emerald Station
Fast travel in the menu: Red Dead Online also offers another form of fast travel that you can simply access in the menu. Under the option “Online”, you can easily transport yourself to another area.
You have the choice between various free roam areas, such as “Free Roam West Elizabeth” or “Free Roam Lemoyne”. If you take this route, you will leave your current online lobby and be assigned to a new one.
The action RPG Path of Exile was actually supposed to be released on PS4 in December. However, that’s not going to happen. Find out here why the game is postponed to next year on PlayStation 4.
They simply underestimated the workload required for the necessary certification process.
Too much Christmas stress: This workload seems impossible to manage appropriately during the stressful pre-Christmas season. Therefore, they apologize for the delay and hope to finally release the game on PlayStation 4 in January 2019.
Fans show understanding
The news about the postponement of Path of Exile on PlayStation 4 naturally didn’t make the players on that console happy. Many would have liked to play the game along with the new update Betrayal over the Christmas holidays with their friends.
Is Sony to blame? However, the criticism seemed primarily directed at Sony. They felt that the developers at Grinding Gear Games had done everything right, and it was only the certification process at Sony that was delayed over the Christmas period.
Others speculate that there may have been a few serious bugs and glitches that they wouldn’t want in a release version.
In any case, most players agree: Better late and done properly than early and full of bugs!
Big update Betrayal is expected
However, the launch of the new expansion Betrayal remains unchanged, which is still set to be released on December 7, 2018, for PC and on December 10 for Xbox One. In it, you will face an evil crime syndicate and must eliminate the boss’s henchmen by force or cunning.

Bless Online has been playable in the West since the end of May and has since been continuously expanded with new content. But 2018 is not yet the end. 2019 has a lot in store from developer Neowiz for Bless Online.
In 2019, the long-awaited class Mystic is finally set to be playable. Moreover, Neowiz has announced new dungeons and a mysterious threat that poses a danger to players of both factions.
The Mystic class is finally playable
Fans of the MMORPG have been waiting for the Mystic since the Early Access release. In the other version of the MMO, the class was already playable. However, Neowiz decided not to implement the Mystic at launch to better adapt it to the revised combat system.
What can the Mystic do? The Mystic is the second healing class in the game. While the Paladin specializes in instant healing that restores a large amount of health points in one go, the Mystic focuses on healing over time.
Similarly, the damage output looks the same. Most of the Mystic’s skills deal damage over time to enemies. However, Mystics can also use skills that deal direct damage.
They wear light cloth armor and use a wand and a scepter as weapons. Their skills consume mana.
Bless will continue to be expanded with new content
To ensure that players can explore new areas in Bless in the future, Neowiz plans to regularly introduce new content next year.
Players will be able to brave new dungeons in 2019.
Bless will be expanded with RvR content, which will introduce PvPvE content to Bless. The two factions, Hieron and Union, will have to face a new, third power.
Players can look forward to new skills.
When will these contents arrive? The announced content is expected to be released in the first half of 2019. So players will have to wait a maximum of 7 months for the content.
In the embedded video from the Russian version of Bless Online, you can get a first look at the Mystic’s abilities. However, the combat system in the Western version plays out differently.

You would think that Fallout 76 has enough technical and gameplay issues to deal with. But now there’s trouble with the Power Armor Edition, the most expensive version of Fallout 76. What’s going on?
The Power Armor Edition is the largest and most expensive variant of Fallout 76. It comes with many contents, including a large power helmet and a travel bag. It was very popular with fans and was sold out multiple times in no time.
But now there is trouble with the travel bag, which Bethesda apparently made secret changes to. The bag was supposed to be made of canvas. The reality looks different.
Nylon instead of canvas – Bethesda secretly changes the bag’s material
What happened? The bag from the Power Armor Edition was actively advertised by Bethesda with the slogan: “West Tek travel bag made of canvas”. However, this excerpt no longer corresponds to the truth. A fan discovered that his bag is made of nylon. The owner was not pleased, after all, he had hoped for a high-quality canvas bag.
Therefore, he also contacted Bethesda directly through support to get to the bottom of the matter. The response from store support stated that canvas had simply been too expensive. Nothing could be changed about it afterwards.
That’s why Bethesda changed the material: This response was shared by the fan on Twitter, prompting Bethesda to react again. The response from the support staff was said to be incorrect. In reality, they found during production that the originally planned material was not available.
Unfortunately, because the material was not available, we had to switch to a nylon travel bag for the Fallout 76: Power Armor Edition. We hope this does not prevent anyone from enjoying one of our, what we believe, best collector’s editions. – Bethesda on Twitter
So, Bethesda’s original plan was to do nothing. Until the fans reacted.
This is how the community reacts: The already annoyed fans are not pleased with this news. The faulty launch of Fallout 76 is far from over. Now comes this secret change to a highly desired edition.
The Reddit post by user Fethennor, who publicly revealed the contact with Bethesda’s support, went completely viral. At the time of this news, the post already has 124,000 upvotes and over 10,000 comments.
This screenshot was published by the fan on Reddit. It shows significant differences in the bags.
Many fans feel betrayed and misled by false advertising. SocketRience writes: “If this isn’t false advertising, then I don’t know what is.”
Although Bethesda revised the support response, many believe that it is true. They suspect that Bethesda wanted to save money and has tricked fans with this significantly cheaper bag.
The angry reactions prompt Bethesda to engage in damage control. But whatever that means, it just adds more fuel to the fire.
What compensation is there? Bethesda offered the affected individuals: They should contact support to receive 500 atoms. This is the premium currency of Fallout 76 that can be purchased for real money. This can be used to purchase cosmetic items in the cash shop.
We understand and respect that there is disappointment regarding the Power Armor Edition. We are sorry. Please contact Bethesda support to confirm the purchase of a CE and prove it. They will ensure that your account receives 500 atoms. Link to support – Bethesda on Twitter
This message does not bring any relaxation, but rather ignites the tempers even more. On Twitter and Reddit, further fan reactions are quick to follow. Even YouTuber SkillUp, known for his reviews, “thanks” Bethesda for the 500 atoms: “Even the PR department is as buggy as it gets.”
Together with the technical issues of the past few weeks, the frustration is now consolidated, as Twitter user Blake illustrates with his tweet:
A team of people at Bethesda apparently believes that 500 units of a fake currency, which is only for purchasing microtransactions, in a game that is broken on all technical levels, is an acceptable response to falsely advertised content of a $200 special edition.
After the problems, bugs, and glitches of the past few weeks, fans are resigned and try to lighten the mood with humor and sarcasm. However, the sentiment seems to be finally gone for some parts of the community. Whether the two planned patches for Fallout 76 will improve the situation remains to be seen.
Did you purchase the Power Armor Edition? What do you think about the situation?
The servers of the MMORPG WildStar have been shut down. The colorful world of Nexus no longer exists.
Yesterday, on 28.11.2018, the last day for the MMORPG WildStar had arrived. As announced, this was the day when the servers for WildStar were to be shut down. And that is exactly what happened.
On the last day, Nexus was quite well visited. Many players returned for the final hours to stroll on the side of the Dominion or the Exiles across the planet, complete a few challenges, or simply spend the last hours with beloved friends.
5 minutes before the official end, there was a server message that can be translated as follows:
“This is your friendly reminder for COMPLETE DESTRUCTION in 5 minutes. We hope you enjoyed your stay and fulfilled your dreams here on the planet Nexus.”
During the last minutes, players gathered, and some developers also joined to wait together for the end of the world. This is illustrated by this YouTube video from Paul Buckley:

How is the community reacting? At least on Reddit for WildStar, there is great sorrow, and many players talk about their pleasant experiences they had in the game, and that the farewell was tougher than initially thought. There are also rows of screenshots that take a melancholic look at the farewell.
However, there are also a few rather amused posts stating, “Man, WildStar is simply unplayable in this state!” This particularly drew some “too soon” reactions.
Why did WildStar fail? There were many reasons for WildStar’s failure. Many players just couldn’t come to terms with the “hardcore” mentality of the game as they initially thought they would. Also, the promised content updates were long overdue; developers and quality assurance simply couldn’t keep the promises. Additionally, numerous bugs and issues with game mechanics plagued WildStar.
Rest in peace, WildStar. I will never forget your housing and the associated role-playing.
With the new ray tracing technology, the upcoming MMORPG Justice Online will be significantly enhanced visually. An initial video shows how much ray tracing enhances the game’s graphics.
What is ray tracing? The current Geforce graphics card generation of the 20XX series uses hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology, which calculates light rays and their reflections physically correctly in real-time. This results in more realistic lighting in games and accurate reflections, such as in puddles, that mirror the surroundings.
Ray tracing is also used in the current online shooter Battlefield 5.
What does ray tracing bring to Justice Online?Justice Online is an upcoming Asian martial arts MMORPG by Neatease, which is based on the Wuxing novel “Treacherous Waters.” Neatease aims to graphically realize the picturesque Asian setting of ancient China as impressively as possible. Previous screenshots and videos have already looked stunning.
To add the finishing touch visually, Netease, in collaboration with graphics chip manufacturer Nvidia, employs ray tracing technology RTX. This makes the lighting even more intense and realistic, and especially the reflections create impressive scenes.
https://youtu.be/4gqzZREHhMY
In a video, it can be seen how the surroundings are reflected in porcelain vases at a market stall. The metal dishes of a horse also accurately reflect the surroundings. The video shows comparisons between scenes with and without RTX.
Additionally, Justice Online, which is being developed by the creators of Revelation Online, is set to be the first game to support the so-called “Real-Time Ray-Traced Caustic Effects.” This means that even reflected light rays become a new light source that can illuminate the environment and create shadows.
What cost does ray tracing bring? As seen with Battlefield 5, ray tracing requires a lot of performance. In DICE’s new online shooter, depending on the scene, the FPS can be halved due to the lighting technology.
The video for Justice Online also shows how performance suffers once RTX is activated. How playable the MMORPG will be with ray tracing enabled is currently still uncertain.

For years, we have had a proper MMORPG with Lost Ark, says our author Schuhmann. And we in Europe have to stay outside and probably will for years.
Exactly what people have been waiting for for 4 years has now happened: We finally have a hit MMORPG that meets the mainstream taste. That is the good news.
But there is also bad news: We in Europe will likely have to wait years for it.
Lost Ark takes elements from everywhere, offers a strong mix
This is Lost Ark: The first time Lost Ark was seen was at the end of 2014 in a trailer. Since then, the game has been portrayed as a kind of “Next Gen Diablo”, but at its core, it is an action MMORPG.

The only unusual aspect of the game is the ISO perspective, which we in Europe associate with Diablo, but which is “normal” for MMORPGs in Asia.
Lost Ark will be fully complete at beta launch. The action MMORPG builds on proven ingredients and combines them into something great and good.
In doing so, Lost Ark offers a colorful mix of all possible styles and directions: Cowboys in a science fiction setting meet classic martial arts fighters or quirky fantasy demons.
The depth of an MMORPG meets the fast-paced play styles of hack’n’slash action MMOs.
What sets Lost Ark apart: Reports from South Korea indicate that Lost Ark is simply fun and a “full-featured MMORPG”: a game that has an incredible amount to offer.
Although many are skeptical here in the West because we find it hard to reconcile “ISO perspective” and MMORPG, Lost Ark is a hit in Korea.
Observers highlight three main points:
It is incredibly polished even in open beta, and feels rounded and coherent
For a Korean free-to-play game, the cash shop is surprisingly fair and subtle
Additionally, Lost Ark simply offers an incredible amount, especially in the endgame

The problem: For most of us, Lost Ark is still not playable. The MMORPG is only available in a South Korean open beta. It is not actually intended for us Westerners to participate.
It is the same problem as with Blade & Soul. That looked fantastic in the first trailers from Asia back in 2010. While we were still playing “WoW: Wrath of the Lich King” here, a new MMORPG era was beginning in South Korea.
However, Blade & Soul only arrived in Europe in 2016. By then, there was nothing left of the “next-gen look” and we were already stuck with new, good-looking titles like Black Desert.
Asian MMORPGs have since developed a reputation for arriving in the West only when it’s already far too late.
Isn’t there any way to play it? It is possible to play Lost Ark as a European via VPN and account purchases, but it’s not really welcomed.
Furthermore, Lost Ark is currently being overrun by foreigners in South Korea. Smilegate is currently trying to keep the Chinese away. After all, South Koreans are already complaining about extremely long waiting times.
For most players from the West, there is no option to play Lost Ark just yet. Only a few people are dealing with account purchases via dubious forums and VPN accounts. Moreover, the language barrier deters most others.
Smilegate is a big name in Asia thanks to the shooter “Crossfire.” The money is mainly made in South Korea and China. However, here in the West, they have very little experience.
But even in the best-case scenario, if Smilegate finds strong partners for publishing, it is likely to be 2020 before we can play Lost Ark in Europe. After all, the MMORPG is still in open beta and ports typically only begin with the release.
A comparable case is Black Desert. It started in July 2014 in South Korea in beta, and arrived here in the West on March 3, 2016. This would mean for Lost Ark that we could aim for approximately summer 2020 if everything goes optimally.
A port of Lost Ark to the West seems certain. But until it arrives, we will probably have to look enviously at South Korea, where they finally get the MMORPG that we have been waiting for years.
I certainly look over with some envy and already imagine how cool it would be to participate. I am already considering which of the classes I will play.
Horror look
Is there an alternative? As an alternative, Lost Ark could actually be preceded by “Project TL.” It strikes a similar chord as Lost Ark, but Project TL isn’t even playable in South Korea yet. However, it comes from NCSoft, a company with its own publishing arm here in the West.
Our author Schuhmann looks back at 2019. This will be heated with Anthem and The Division 2 right in the spring. Even though many are now waiting for Anthem, The Division 2 could ultimately be the more exciting game at launch, believes our author.
This is the current situation: Two blockbusters have already been announced for spring 2019 that hit a similar note:
Both games will bring demos and betas beforehand and are sure to dominate the headlines at the beginning of 2019. But currently, they are still largely unknown titles that hardly anyone has played.
The calm before the storm: It is quiet around both games. Ubisoft and Electronic Arts probably want to let the blockbuster season pass before they really start with the marketing campaigns.
Now in the thunderstorm between Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 5, it seems wiser to save the ammunition until the smoke has cleared after Christmas.
It will probably heat up for both games in January.
Anthem and the allure of the new
Much interest in Anthem: I have been observing strong interest in Anthem among our readers for months. Just through Facebook, new bits of information and the trailers for Anthem receive numerous likes and comments.
We are also increasingly being asked to report more on Anthem.
There is a feeling among the readers: There must be more information that nobody has revealed to us yet. For some, there is a great need to start discussing Anthem in depth right now.
That’s why many are excited about Anthem: Anthem promises to combine the fast coop action of Destiny with the narrative depth of BioWare titles. Additionally, it offers a new, alien world.
Anthem radiates the allure of something new. It promises a fresh start. Anthem is a “fresh brand,” a new world.
Players have no concrete ideas of what to expect in Anthem, so Anthem is ideally suited to project their own desires onto the game.
It offers a blank canvas to envision the perfect game.
The Division 2 – the familiar quantity
The Division 2 is quite reserved: In contrast, many feel like they already know “The Division 2” somehow.
So far, only isolated and specific changes compared to The Division 1 have been noticeable. The Division 2 feels like the first game but with a new setting and only a few fresh ideas.
The interest in discussing The Division 2 seems surprisingly low. It feels like they already know everything and just have to wait until it actually starts.
The Division 2 does not offer a blank canvas like Anthem; instead, most people see The Division 1 in summer and in Washington.
However, there is still little known about The Division 2 in detail. And it is ultimately the details regarding progression mechanics, reward systems, and gameplay that determine how successful such an online shooter is.
It is already quite clear how Anthem will fare
The launch phase of Anthem seems clear already: Even though Anthem radiates the allure of the new, I currently feel like I can already see the news from February before my eyes.
Anthem will go through a rough release phase, just like all games of this magnitude before. Just like Destiny, The Division, The Elder Scrolls Online, WildStar, Fallout 76 now, or any other game where a studio transitions from a “normal game” to a “games-as-a-service”.
Every studio, no matter how many veterans it has, ultimately complains about being surprised by the transition and finding it much harder than initially thought to have a “live game” now and handle the new challenges.
Most online games do not resemble the game that fans actually hoped for at launch until a year after the release.
I think it will be the same with Anthem.
This will happen with Anthem:
Bugs, server problems, and lags will occur.
Players will complain about too little content.
The illusions that many had before will crumble because the “blank canvas” is no longer there.
That is not something bad or catastrophic. It is simply normality. It is part of the development cycle that every new online game and every new brand must go through.
The exciting thing about Anthem: How BioWare behaves after the first few weeks will be the exciting part and will determine whether Anthem has a great future ahead like The Elder Scrolls Online or whether it fades like WildStar. They are shutting down the servers in these weeks.
The interesting phase for Anthem will probably start only a few weeks after the launch, when it becomes clear how BioWare will handle the inevitable problems.
The Division with the more exciting launch phase
But how will it be with The Division 2? In contrast, the team from Massive has already gone through this process with the first part.
The exciting question here is whether The Division 2 can skip this difficult phase at launch and feel like a polished and well-crafted game right away – or whether they will have to go through the cycle a second time.
In contrast, Bungie did not manage to learn from the issues of the first part with Destiny 2, but Destiny 2 took many steps back compared to its predecessor. Bungie had to go through this tough “release cycle” a second time – with all the painful problems it entails.
If The Division 2 avoids these mistakes and picks up where The Division left off, it could become the winner of spring 2019.
While The Division 2 does not carry the allure of the new like Anthem, players could be pleasantly surprised here.
The Division 1 was a much better game almost 2 years after the launch than it was at release. If The Division 2 continues along this path, something really good could arise.
Black Desert will soon have a burning horse named Doom. The new horse is a real eye-catcher and has many practical abilities.
Horse fans in Black Desert will soon receive a new horse that could become the crown jewel of their collection. Doom is a real eye-catcher and ensures that you stand out.
A Horse from the Underworld
What can the burning horse do? Doom comes with a range of skills that allow it to carry you quickly through the world of Black Desert.
With the ability “Trailing Flames”, you can deal damage to your opponent.
Doom automatically regenerates health and stamina when you leave it somewhere. Additionally, it can perform a double jump.
Later, it can learn the ability “Dark Sprint”, a flame sprint that deals damage to enemies.
How do I obtain Doom? In Black Desert, you can level and tame horses. To obtain Doom, you need to awaken a horse that has reached rank 8 and level 30. To awaken it, you need the item Krogdalos Origin Stone. The origin stone helps you unleash the full potential of your mount. You can either craft the item through alchemy or buy it from another player at the market.
When will Doom be playable? Doom is currently only available in Korea. Players in the West will have to wait several months for the horse.
We have embedded a gameplay video of the new mount below.

My MMO is giving away 5 Heroes of Skyrim card packs for the online card game The Elder Scrolls Legends. Here’s how to participate.
In card games, you can never have too many cards. The more cards you have to choose from, the more creative you can be in the game.
What can you win? 5 Heroes of Skyrim card packs. In total, we are giving away 20 codes.
What’s included in the card packs? Each card pack contains 6 random cards from the Heroes of Skyrim expansion. Two possible cards you can draw from the boosters are the Wildfire Dragon or Paarthurnax.
With Heroes of Skyrim, new card types have been introduced. The shouts known from Skyrim can also be played in The Elder Scrolls Legends. They act as spell cards that become stronger with each use.
Additionally, players can summon the power of well-known Skyrim characters, such as the Khajiit J’zargo from the Mage’s Guild or Ulfric Stormcloak, the Jarl of Windhelm. Especially playing J’zargo is a lot of fun because he gives you one of three random scrolls, each with different effects. This allows for totally crazy combinations with the rest of your deck. Improvisation is everything with J’zargo.
On which versions can you redeem the codes? The codes can be redeemed on all versions of the game through the Bethesda.net website. Whether you play on PC, Mac, iOS, or Android. Legends is also set to be released in the future for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
