Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 6 minutes

With the Forsaken expansion, the mod system of Destiny 2 has been revamped. We will show you all the new armor mods and explain what they do in detail.

Since the release of Forsaken, Guardians can upgrade their armor with numerous mods. But what armor mods are available? And what exactly can they do? The following information should help you find the right mods for your individual needs.

The new armor mods in Destiny 2 – What you should know

This is why mods are worth it: With mods, you can give your Guardian’s armor pieces an extra personal touch and optimize them for different playstyles or situations. Just like perks, mods enhance specific aspects of your armor. From a shorter cooldown for your super to special raid mods, the new system has a lot to offer.

This is important for choosing mods: The choice of the right armor mods, just like the choice of weapon mods or armor perks, mainly depends on your individual preferences and playstyle. Do you play primarily PvP or PvE? Do you want to deal extra damage in the raid or have your abilities recharge faster?

These insights should make it a little easier for you to put together the right armor sets for your needs.

How to get armor mods in Destiny 2

The following options are available: Since the revamp, mods have become rarer. In Year 2, they can only be obtained by dismantling suitable armor pieces that already contain mods or in exchange for mod components at the gunsmith.

However, you will need a lot of mod components for the gunsmith – 10 per mod. This is how you can effectively get the components.

The following armor pieces can be equipped with mods

Armor pieces from Year 1 are compatible with new mods: All legendary armor pieces have a mod slot – including those from Year 1. Armor mods from Year 2 can be used on armor pieces from Year 1 as well as on armor from the second year. Furthermore, all exotic armor drops have a chance to be equipped with a mod.

  • With two mods: 4:18

The effects of Dreaming City Mods

Riven’s Curse: With this mod, you deal more damage in the Dreaming City and in the raid “Last Wish”, but you also take more damage there – and from all sources. This mod can stack up to 5x. Here’s how the effect changes:

  • With one mod: +5% outgoing damage, +1-2% incoming damage
  • With two mods: +10% outgoing damage, +2-4% incoming damage
  • With three mods: +15% outgoing damage, +4-6% incoming damage
  • With four mods: +20% outgoing damage, +6-8% incoming damage
  • With five mods: +25% outgoing damage, +8-10% incoming damage

The additional damage buff is significantly larger than the damage you take yourself. Additionally, the extra damage can stack with all other damage buffs.

Warning: Currently, it seems that the incoming damage effect of this mod is bugged. Players do deal more damage, but they do not take additional damage from enemies. The effect is currently identical to that of Overworldly Blessing.

destiny-2-warlock-beam

Overworldly Blessing: With this mod, you deal more damage in the Dreaming City and in the raid “Last Wish”. This mod can also stack up to 5x. Here’s how the effect changes:

  • With one mod: +5% outgoing damage
  • With two mods: +10% outgoing damage
  • With three mods: +15% outgoing damage
  • With four mods: +20% outgoing damage
  • With five mods: +25% outgoing damage

The additional damage can stack with all other damage buffs. Whether it is intentional that Overworldly Blessing and Riven’s Curse behave almost identically or if it’s a bug is currently unknown.

besessene-destiny-2

The effects of Possessed Mods

Possessed Armament: If you defeat possessed enemies with grenades, this mod gives you a chance for additional power ammunition. Whether the effect can stack is currently unknown.

Possessed Barrier: If you take damage from possessed enemies, this modification reduces the damage you take by 20% for 10 seconds afterwards. The effect apparently has no cooldown and cannot be stacked.

Possessed Regeneration: If you defeat a possessed elite enemy (yellow health bar), your class ability is fully replenished. This effect cannot stack.

Possessed Reclamation: If you destroy a possessed shield, this modification fully replenishes your grenade ability. This effect cannot stack.

Pokémon GO: How to submit PokéStops

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 5 minutes

In Pokémon GO, more and more players around the world can submit PokéStops. We will show you how it works.

Finally have a few more PokéStops in the village or maybe even an Arena! The dream of many players is about to come true. Niantic is currently testing a system for submitting PokéStops in several countries.

Only for some players: So far, no one in Germany can directly submit PokéStops for Pokémon GO. The feature is currently being tested in Brazil, South Korea, Thailand, and Mexico. There, Level 40 players can submit new proposals for PokéStops.

We will show you how the system works and explain what requirements need to be met.

No PokéStops? – Guide to Applying for Stops 2018

In the following steps, we explain how submitting PokéStops works. The system is currently only available in beta version. So it is possible that something may still change.

Pokemon GO PokéStops
  1. Find an interesting location that you would like to submit.

2. Open your settings in the game and tap on “New PokéStop” (this button only appears for players who can also submit a stop).

Pokestop Pokemon GO

3. A map will open, where you should place an orange PokéStop at the location where the PokéStop should be (if there is already a PokéStop nearby, you cannot place a new stop there).

4. Confirm your selection if the PokéStop has been placed correctly.

Pokestop Pokemon GO 2

5. Now take a picture of the object you want to submit. Pay attention to the quality of the image and ensure that no people are recognizable (failure to meet the criteria may result in rejection of the PokéStop).

6. Now take a picture of the surrounding area of the object. The community that evaluates the PokéStop can then see if the surroundings are suitable for a PokéStop.

Pokestop Pokemon GO 3

7. Give the potential PokéStop a name and a description. Ensure that the title best describes the object and the description provides additional information about the location.

8. Now check all information for accuracy. If everything is correct, confirm your proposal.

9. In the last step, you can write to the reviewers of the proposal why this proposal should be approved. This text can only be read by the reviewer and will not be published.

Pokestop Pokemon GO 5

10. Now the community reviews your proposal. This can take a few weeks or even months. You will be contacted via email and informed of the decision. If the proposal is accepted, there will be a new stop at that location in the world of Pokémon GO.

von Noah Struthoff

These criteria must be considered when proposing PokéStops

Not every interesting object is a new PokéStop. There are some guidelines that dictate which objects can become a PokéStop.

These places are ideal for PokéStops:

  • A historical place and a place with an interesting history
  • An artwork or special architecture (statues, paintings, mosaics, etc.)
  • A hidden gem or a locally known place (restaurants, hotels, etc.)
  • Public parks, libraries, or cultural sites
  • Transit stations like train stations or stops
Pokemon Go Jesus
The descriptions for PokeStops are “unique”

These places are not suitable for PokéStops:

  • Places that are not accessible to pedestrians (e.g., on highways)
  • Private property
  • Places that disrupt the operation of hospitals or fire and police stations
  • Places on the grounds of kindergartens or elementary schools
  • Places that are natural formations (e.g., a waterfall or a mountain)
  • Objects that are not permanently located (e.g., Ferris wheel at a fair)
  • Places that serve adult entertainment (gun shops, liquor stores, etc.)
Pokestop Pokemon GO 6

What you should know about stop submissions

The stop submission system is primarily intended for players who have few PokéStops in their area. If you successfully submit a proposal, it will result in a PokéStop.

When will the feature come to Germany? This system is currently being tested only in a few countries and is not available worldwide. How long these tests will last is not known. However, if the tests are successfully completed, the system could soon come to Germany.

Nidoqueen Pokemon GO 2

Who can submit PokéStops?

Which countries can already submit stops? Submitting PokéStops is currently possible only in Brazil, South Korea, Thailand, and Mexico. Niantic is currently testing a beta version there. They are gradually expanding the test area and additional countries are being added.

Requirement is Level 40: In the aforementioned countries, not every player can submit PokéStops. Only players who are Level 40 and are not registered with the Pokémon Kids Club can submit PokéStops.

Pokestop Pokemon GO 4

Is there a limit for submissions? So far, you can only submit seven PokéStops every 14 days. This prevents unlimited new requests from being made.

This is what the system in Germany could look like: One can assume that this system will only be usable for Level 40 players.

In the game Ingress, which is also by Niantic, only players with a minimum level can submit new portals (comparable to PokéStops). It seems plausible that this will also be the case in Pokémon GO. This could also be an incentive when you are Level 40 and have no more motivation.

Pokémon GO Level 40 Titel

Great feature for village players: For players living in small towns with few PokéStops, this feature could be fantastic. Village players could receive items or field research there and have a location where more Pokémon spawn.

What do you think of this system? Are you excited that soon you can submit PokéStops?

WoW: Blizzard had to help players find this secret

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the Dungeon Waycrest Manor of World of Warcraft there is a musical secret. It has just been revealed.

World of Warcraft is full of many small and larger secrets. Besides particularly challenging puzzles like the Timegolding or the creepy pet B’aal, the developers have also integrated smaller Easter eggs and secrets. One of them can be found in Waycrest Manor – a macabre concert.

What is the secret? If you defeat five specific witches in Waycrest Manor and return to the entrance hall after completing the dungeon (that is, after the last boss), you have to wait a few minutes. After some time, the organs start playing familiar tracks from other Blizzard games – of course in a creepy organ version.

WoW Waycreast Drust Organ
Image source: wowhead

The following songs are among them:

  • StarCraft – Terran Theme
  • Overwatch – Overtune
  • Diablo III – New Tristram Theme
  • World of Warcraft – A Call to Arms
  • Warcraft II – Orc Battle Theme
  • Heroes of the Storm – The Battle Begins

How to find the witches? The witches are not visible at the beginning and hide in various parts of the manor – in the rooms and corridors. They appear when you approach cursed organs that can be found throughout the manor. The corresponding organs have the typical “blue-black glow” of Drustvar witch magic. If you defeat one of the witches, a loud organ noise occurs (as if you were pressing all the keys at once) – the signal that this organ is now “freed”.

WoW Waycreast Drust Organ 2
Image source: wowhead

To find all the organs, you also need to defeat trash mobs that you would probably have left standing in a regular run.

So far, the secret has only been revealed in the mythic mode of Waycrest Manor. Whether it can also be found in the normal and heroic modes remains to be seen.

Blizzard had to help: The crucial hint for the puzzle was given this time by Blizzard during a panel at BlizzCon. When it came to the music and sound effects of World of Warcraft, the developers explained that there was still “a hidden thing” related to the organs. Less than a day later, the puzzle was solved.

That’s why the survival MMO Rust has suddenly reached record numbers on Steam

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The survival game Rust is generally quite popular, but the new update has ensured that it has now even landed among the top 50 games with the most simultaneous active players on Steam.

A new feature in Rust has excited fans so much that new records in player numbers can be achieved. It is actually a rather simple game element.

Rust Balloon 2

Rust is taking off!

What happened? Rust managed to record more than 70,000 simultaneous active players on Steam last weekend. This is a new record for the survival game and allowed it to slide into the top 50 of the Steam list. The reason for this is a new update that introduces a very fun game element:

  • You now build hot air balloons
  • With the balloons, you float to the enemy bases to attack them from the air
  • The defenders set up surface-to-air missile launchers to shoot down the balloons

A feature that is simply fun: Players are thrilled about the new feature. Even the boats that were introduced earlier this year were well received.

Flying alone with the balloons is already fun for many. Then, the attempt to reach the base with the slow flying devices before the missiles can shoot down the balloon adds a certain thrill.

Diablo Immortal is just the beginning – Blizzard focuses on mobile

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard is entering the mobile games market with Diablo Immortal. And Diablo is not going to be the only franchise that we will be able to play on smartphones.

Blizzard has already stated that mobile will be an important pillar for the company’s future. It’s no surprise considering how gigantic this market is. Therefore, the studio has big plans in this direction that go beyond Diablo Immortal.

More mobile games are on the way

Blizzard wants to conquer the mobile games market: Was the announcement of Diablo Immortal surprising? No. It has been clear for years that Blizzard wants to develop mobile games. Blizzard is now dealing with the aftereffects.

Diablo Immortal Necro Intro Title

Fans of Blizzard must prepare for the fact that Diablo Immortal will not be the only mobile game for one of the studio’s major franchises. The company is already pursuing further plans in this direction.

Mobile games have been in planning for a long time: Blizzard’s co-founder Allen Adham and Production Director Dan Elggren stated in an interview that there have been plans to enter the mobile games market for some time. It was just a matter of finding the right approach and developing a game that also makes sense on smartphones.

“How long have we been thinking about this? We not only have Diablo, but several franchises and discussed mobile and how to create the right experience on a mobile platform. We have been working on this for a while,” said Production Director Dan Elggren in the interview.

Moreover, Adham stated that plans are already being worked on for new mobile games. The upcoming games are intended to cover all the franchises that Blizzard currently has in its portfolio.

Diablo Immortal Screen 5

Blizzard keeps up with the times

Fans must come to terms with the future: No game company can avoid the mobile games market. The market research company Newzoo predicts that by the year 2020, half of all game revenues will be generated by mobile games.

  • For 2018, the revenue from mobile games is expected to be around 57.9 billion dollars, with total game revenue across all platforms amounting to 125.4 billion dollars.
  • In 2019, a global revenue of around 65.2 billion dollars is expected. A total revenue of 134.5 billion dollars is anticipated.
  • In 2020, 72.3 billion dollars are expected. Total revenue is estimated at 143.5 billion dollars.

The best opportunities for expansion are currently offered by the mobile games market, which is why Blizzard will become more active here in the future.

In Black Ops 4, players love their drill weapons

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 there is a weapon that suspiciously looks like a drill. Players are using it to mod it in the editor even more like a tool. This has sparked a lively discussion.

Which weapon is it? Those who know the weapons from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 have surely seen the submachine gun (SMG) Saug 9mm. This futuristic version of the Uzi looks extremely similar to a cordless drill due to its shape.

What have the players done? Since the weapon comes across like a tool, some cheeky players have spent considerable time in the game’s weapon skin editor, actually equipping the Saug with the colors and logos of well-known drill manufacturers.

It now really looks like the specialists are taking each other out with lead-spewing drills. In a game where you can also have unicorn skins for weapons, this is not surprising.

Hey, my drill is much cooler than yours!

Drill battle on Reddit: In various Reddit threads, numerous players are currently showcasing their drill mod creations. This has led to a lively debate about the pros and cons of various cordless drills.

Fans of the respective brands are fiercely defending their favorite product and want to prevail against the competition:

  • “Oh come on, DeWalt makes quality drills!”
  • “Milwaukee is 100 times better!”
  • “Hilti makes the best drills!”
  • “Not true, Hilti uses electronics that can only be programmed in the factory and not at service branches!”

Similar comments can also be found about products from manufacturers Black and Decker, Makita, Bosch, and Ryobi, all of which also have their fans and are represented in the game as skins for the Saug.

What do you think about it? Do you now also want to create a drill as a weapon? And if so, which brand would be your favorite?

WoW: PVP against Bots is coming – So the Alliance can win for once

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new feature of World of Warcraft caused surprise at BlizzCon. PvP will soon also be possible against NPCs, that is, bots.

At BlizzCon last weekend, many upcoming innovations of World of Warcraft were discussed. In addition to a lot of new features from Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, the focus was also on the “smaller” interim patches, such as update 8.1.5.

In the interim patches, the developers introduce smaller features and refinements that would otherwise get lost in the hustle and bustle of a major patch.

One of these highlights is the “Arathi Comp Stomp”: A PvP battleground against computer-controlled opponents.

WoW PvP Arathi against Bots

Arathi Basin with Island Technology: The basis for this PvP brawl will be the technology of the “smart” NPCs used on Island Expeditions. Blizzard aims to utilize the same technology to create a PvP brawl featuring 15 bots as opponents. These are expected to act intelligently and provide a real challenge in Arathi Basin.

How difficult this brawl will actually be remains to be seen. But likely, Blizzard will lean more towards the heroic or mythic Island Expeditions, otherwise the opponents wouldn’t pose much of a challenge.

WoW PvP Arathi against Bots 2

A contradiction in itself: Some players critically note that hosting a PvP brawl against “PvE opponents” is clearly a contradiction. However, most players are looking forward to this variation on Arathi. Since it is just a temporary brawl, they see it as a welcome change.

During the presentation of this idea, it was even read “You’re welcome, Alliance” – a clear reference to the fact that the Alliance would never win in the Arathi Basin otherwise. While this doesn’t correspond to reality, it reflects the “feeling” of many players: “After all, we have the stables.”

What do you think of PvP against NPC opponents? A cool idea for variety? Or does it absolutely have no place in PvP? Let us know in the comments.

Shortly thereafter, with Patch 8.2.5, Worgen and Goblins will get new models!

RDR 2: Player breaks through invisible wall to Mexico

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

Actually, players cannot travel to Red Dead Redemption 2 in Mexico. One player managed to do it now and finds that everything looks just like in Red Dead Redemption. This raises hopes for a DLC with new areas.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, it is not possible to travel to Mexico with your horse or other means of transportation. The area is locked, and there is no direct way to get there. In the predecessor, Red Dead Redemption, Mexico was part of the adventure.

What’s new? A glitch led a Reddit user to stumble into Mexico from RDR 2. He discovered that the areas from the two games surprisingly resemble each other.

Images of Mexico in RDR 2

As described by Reddit user Coyotemation, the entire Mexican area in RDR 2 is supposed to be the same area that was found in Red Dead Redemption. Just copied over. It wasn’t greatly modified. However, it looks better now due to the improved engine.

You can see how the area looks in the following screenshots shared by Coyotemation.

Here are the details: The only spot with more details is the army fortress El Presidio. But even that is only supposed to look like a porting of the models. Even the boxes on the watchtower are present in the same quantity.

The train tunnel south of Agave Viejo also shows significant similarities:

Are the images real? Some players doubt the authenticity of the images. However, there are already guides on YouTube showing how to reach the location in Red Dead Redemption 2. You have to follow a river in the west. Then you have to break through an invisible wall. This happens by sprinting and jumping.

After that, you find yourself in Mexico without a horse. If you want, you can activate a cheat code to summon your horse to explore the area.

Players wanted to see Mexico in RDR 2: Before Red Dead Redemption 2 was released, there were already some leaks. Including the map of RDR 2. When players saw that Mexico was not among the playable areas, they were disappointed.

Fans’ Speculations – DLC for Red Dead Redemption 2?

What fans believe: After these findings, many fans now believe that Rockstar Games is planning a DLC for RDR 2 that unlocks Mexico. This could then be released as a single-player DLC or perhaps play an important role in Red Dead Online.

Why is Mexico even there? Players wonder: Why would Rockstar include Mexico in RDR 2 if they don’t plan to use it? Comicbook answers this question aptly and says: Because they needed a model. When players are in the southern part of New Austin, where the river separates the United States and Mexico, they need to see something on the other side and not look into emptiness.

Instead of designing new textures, the developers then used the models from Red Dead Redemption. So the theory.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Kutsche

So, is Mexico not coming as a DLC? That is not certain at this point. However, one should not see the new findings as proof that Mexico will definitely be visited in the future.

Don’t miss any news about Mexico: All news about DLCs or other announcements in the future can be quickly seen on our Facebook page about Red Dead Redemption 2.

Would you be excited about Mexico as a DLC? Should it be released for the single-player mode, online, or in both variants?

Players demand larger storage in Fallout 76, there is simply too much stuff

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

The beta of Fallout 76 has only been running for a short time, but many players are already having problems with their storage in the C.A.M.P., which apparently offers too little space for many.

The inventory seems to be too small: The C.A.M.P. building system is a mobile tool that allows players in Fallout 76 to build anything they want anywhere. As former Vault 76 dwellers, players are supposed to repopulate the world. But even now, fans are complaining about space issues. Many players are therefore calling for an adjustment of capacity.

fallout 76 settlement

Where to put all the stuff?

In Fallout 76, you collect tons of materials, weapons, gear, food, and medicine. The inventory fills up very quickly. A storage box that you can place in your self-built shelter is meant to provide additional space.

The box offers this much space: The storage can hold about 400 pounds – roughly twice as much as the average player can carry. You can store anything you collect on your travels in it.

fallout 76 pip boy

What is the problem? But many players complain that this is not enough. The topic is being hotly debated in the Fallout 76 subreddit. Fineous4 writes: “The storage needs to be significantly increased, one way or another. Right now it’s more of a burden than fun.”

Tartooth criticizes: “I spent 1.5 hours yesterday sorting my storage and inventory. This is not Escape From Tarkov, this is Fallout 76!”

Tartooth is not the only one. Due to the constant lack of space, some players have to waste valuable time that they would rather spend gaming on inventory and storage management instead.
 
fallout 76 town

Storage too small – what can be done about it?

This is what fans suggest: Now players are sharing some tips to at least tackle the problem. Here’s what fans recommend:

  • Keep only materials that you really need for crafting
  • Important materials can be marked to simplify overview
  • Chems and items like grenades also take up a lot of space. Consider carefully what you really need
  • Everything you don’t need should be sold. There are vendors who will give you blueprints for your junk. You can usually find these at train stations

But even with a multitude of tricks, the storage remains too small for many. des_boops therefore suggests linking capacity to levels. The higher you get, the more space should be unlocked.

But whether and how Bethesda will solve the problem remains to be seen.

Have you also struggled with this? What solution would you suggest?

WoW: In heroic war fronts, players are expected to lose more often

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Warfronts in World of Warcraft are getting an upgrade. Soon they will also be available in “heroic” mode!

When the feature of Warfronts was unlocked shortly after the launch of Battle for Azeroth, the faces in the community were long within a few hours. Although the reward with item level 370 was quite good, the difficulty of the Warfronts left much to be desired. It was far too easy, so even complete “random groups” could only lose when 10 or more out of 20 players were AFK.

WoW Warfront Armor Alliance Horde title

This criticism has been taken to heart by Blizzard and they are announcing a new feature: Heroic Warfronts.

What are Heroic Warfronts? The heroic version is for groups and guilds that sign up with more than 5 people at the same time and want to experience a greater challenge. A minimum of 10 players is required to participate. Unlike in the regular Warfronts, it will be significantly easier to lose, as the opposing NPCs will likely be stronger than your own. Those who do not defend in time could be quickly overwhelmed.

Additionally, there is talk of “new mechanics” – so it is quite possible that enemy NPCs may prepare some ambushes to turn the tide of battle.

We will learn exactly how it works, but probably only when the PTR for Patch 8.2 is playable.

WoW BfA Stromgarde Storming The Keep Warfront

Patch 8.2 also brings Mechagnomes and a “Mega-Dungeon”!

When will Heroic Warfronts come? The Heroic Warfronts are planned for Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara. This will be released only after Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance and the smaller interim patch 8.1.5. We do not expect a release before April or May 2019.

Are you looking forward to Heroic Warfronts? Or have you already lost interest in this feature?

Destiny 2 Survey: What title do you want for your Guardian?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, you have the opportunity to unlock titles for your Guardians. We want to know which title is the most coveted for you.

With the release of the Forsaken expansion, titles entered the game in Destiny 2. Titles are special text overlays that appear in-game next to the player’s name and are visible to all other Guardians. They visually showcase extensive achievements and accomplishments that players have achieved in certain areas of the game.

Titles in Destiny 2  – A special customization option

This is what the titles bring: As titles, Guardians in Destiny 2 receive another way to stand out from the crowd. Earning titles in Destiny 2 generally involves great effort and a lot of time. So anyone who wears a title proudly shows that they have already achieved quite a bit in the game.

destiny-2-malfeasence

These are the titles you can chase: Currently, there are six titles in Destiny 2 that you can earn. Each of them focuses its requirements on a different area of the game. There is something for everyone:

  • Riven’s Bane: You earn this title mostly through your achievements in the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”
  • Cursebreaker: To claim this title, you must master almost everything the Dreaming City has to offer
  • Chronicle: To call yourself Chronicle, you must search for the scattered in-game lore
  • Unbroken: Here, you must prove your passion and endurance in the Crucible
  • Dredgen: Dredgen honors your achievements in the Gambit mode
  • Wanderer: For this title, you must embark on a long journey across all locations of Destiny 2 and discover the world
destiny-2-warlock-besessene

This is how fans see the titles: The hunt for titles evokes mixed feelings in the community.

There are numerous Guardians who see earning titles as a welcome change and additional long-term motivation. Furthermore, it is a cool way to stand out from the crowd. Many Destiny veterans have already wished for this in relation to Grimoire points.

However, there are also quite a few players who find this very grindy task completely unappealing and consider it a waste of time.

Survey: Which title do you absolutely want to have in Destiny 2?

Participate in our survey: In this context, we have prepared a survey for you and want to know which of the six titles you absolutely want to claim for yourself. Keep in mind that you only have one response option. Thank you for participating.

 

By the way: Sven from MeinMMO has set it as a goal to unlock the “Unbroken” title. No matter how long it takes – one day, his Hunter should proudly wear this title.

Let us know in the comments what you think of the titles in Destiny 2. Which do you think is the hardest to earn? What titles would you like to see in the future?

Fortnite: Würfel ist explodiert – So gibt es nur heute „Klein Kevin“

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

Players can unlock a special version of the famous cube in Fortnite: Battle Royale – as a back bling! However, they need to log in today on November 5th and complete the challenges. The cube itself exploded during the event on Sunday, November 4th.

The giant cube has broken down into its components: With a spectacular live sequence, the cube dissolved and pulled players into a parallel dimension, where they interacted with butterflies.

To ensure the cube stays in the players’ memory for a long time, you can now unlock a miniature version as a backpack, which Epic affectionately named Lil’ Kevin. But you need to hurry!

What is the timeframe to unlock the cube backpack? To have a chance at getting the back bling, you need to log in to the game and do so by tonight, November 5th, at 7:00 PM!

If you logged in before this deadline, you have until Sunday, November 11th, at 7:00 PM to complete the tasks for the cube.

What do I need to do for the cube backpack? You won’t get the backpack for free; you have to earn it. The tasks are, however, manageable for every player:

  • Complete 15 matches in Fortnite: Battle Royale
  • Earn 5,000 experience points (this should be easily completed during the first step)
  • Eliminate 500 opponents (which mode you do this in is up to you)
Fortnite-Cube

Once you have completed all the challenges, the back bling will be automatically unlocked in your locker. Even though the cube doesn’t closely resemble the original, consider it a memento of the object that has accompanied Fortnite: Battle Royale for the longest time!

The cube backpack is not the only new item coming this week. A heavy assault rifle has also been announced.

The beta of Fallout 76 starts at this time on PS4, PC, and Xbox One

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

For about a week now, the beta of Fallout 76 has been running on Xbox One. Now it will soon launch on PC and PS4 as well. The servers for all platforms will be online at these times.

Starting Tuesday, October 30, PC and PS4 players can officially participate in the Fallout 76 beta. However, the servers will not be online continuously. They will only be accessible within specified multi-hour time slots for players.

Therefore, there is again a bitter pill to swallow for European players. The next phase takes place in the middle of the night – just like the first one on Xbox One. Here are the known beta times.

Update: On November 5 at 3:05 AM, Bethesda released additional times. We have updated the article with the additional phases.

The Beta Times for PC, PS4, and Xbox One

As with Xbox One, the beta on PC and PS4 starts in the USA on October 30. However, due to the time difference, this will again be in the middle of the night for us.

  • October 31: 0:00 – 4:00
  • November 1: 19:00 – 0:00 [Extended: From 19:00 – 4:00]
  • November 3: 22:00 – 2:00
  • November 4: 20:00 – 3:00

Update: The additional beta times are

  • November 6: 19:00 – 21:00
  • November 8: 20:00 – 2:00

Further times will likely be announced. You will retain the progress made. It will be transferred to the full version of Fallout 76. The scope of the beta corresponds to the full game.

fallout 76 screen 11

How do I get into the beta? To participate in the beta, you must pre-order Fallout 76. You will then receive a code from your retailer that you can redeem in the respective stores.

Those who have ordered directly through these stores do not need a code and can download the beta directly.

Is there a preload? Yes, after this has already started for Xbox One, the beta of Fallout 76 can now be downloaded on all platforms. On Xbox One and PS4, it requires about 45 GB of storage space.

Our author Tarek has already tested the beta on Xbox One and reveals to you, how Fallout 76 plays solo.

WoW Classic will likely use sharding at launch – Here’s what it’s about

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Bad news for all purist Classic fans. At the start, WoW: Classic will likely implement sharding and separate players from each other. We will tell you what it’s all about.

At BlizzCon 2018, fans had the opportunity to ask their questions about World of Warcraft during the “Developer Q&A”. Some questions also addressed World of Warcraft: Classic. A player wanted to know why there was sharding in the demo of WoW: Classic and whether this would also be the case in the final version of the game.

What is Sharding? Sharding is sometimes referred to by users as “phasing” and basically ensures that there are multiple instances of a place, for example, when it is overcrowded.

So that not 500 players are standing in the Stormwind Auction House, there are two different instances, each accommodating 250 players to minimize server load.

WoW Ion Hazzikostas BlizzCon 2018

Sharding planned for launch: In the Q&A, Hazzikostas explained that they are considering using sharding for the launch of Classic. This may be necessary because a huge number of players will come to the servers at launch. Many of them will probably disappear after a week or two.

To handle this particularly heavy load and to promote the gaming experience at the beginning, they are considering sharding.

The details of how the subscription for Classic will work have also been revealed.

In the end, there should be “only one world”: However, Hazzikostas assured that sharding, if at all, will only be used at launch to facilitate a smooth gaming start while thousands of players are in the starting areas. Once the initial load has been handled, and the population of a server has stabilized, they want to have only a single world per server without different phases / shards.

“When Lord Kazzak is present and the guilds are arguing, we need to ensure that there is really only one Lord Kazzak.”

WoW Classic Header

This is part of Classic, and they definitely want to preserve it.

Sharding will probably only be used at the launch of WoW: Classic in the summer of 2019. After that, all players will be able to meet permanently on one server – in a unified game world.

By the way, not all Classic content will be available at launch.

Do you consider this solution good? Is it acceptable to use new technologies at launch to ensure a smooth launch? Or should Blizzard stay away from it?

Fortnite down: Event has overburdened servers – There was a cut scene

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

At Fortnite, the one-time event took place at 7:00 PM. This apparently overwhelmed the servers of Fortnite. Currently, the servers are down and there are issues. But the event was probably worth it.

This is what happened: At 7 PM, the big, one-time event in Fortnite took place. The special event around the Space Cube had been announced for a long time, and millions of players probably logged in to watch it live in the game simultaneously.

Right at 7 PM, the Space Cube pulsed stronger and stronger, until it eventually exploded.

The players were thrown into a kind of other, bright dimension. There, a huge butterfly fluttered, which split into smaller butterflies.

Here is the event from the perspective of streamer TmarTn:

Then a cutscene started: Each player was fluttered their own butterfly to take on their finger and touch it.

Then the world exploded and the game continued.

The “Don’t call them Zombies” monsters then disappeared, the world looked more colorful and there was a rainbow to admire.

Server Down: The rush was probably too much for the servers in Fortnite. Since around 7:10 PM, playing has not been possible. There is a large queue. If you want to log in, you receive the message “Connection to the server failed” or in German: “Login failed.”

We will keep you updated at MeinMMO. The servers will surely be back up soon.

New Challenges Live

This is how it continues: When the servers are back up, new challenges in Fortnite will be active. Players must complete these by November 11.

These challenges are called “LiL’Kev Challenges.” They are not special challenges, no puzzles or anything like that. It’s just about:

  • completing 15 matches
  • earning 5000 experience points
  • and surviving 500 opponents

As a reward, there is a Back Bling.

This many watched the event: The big event related to a server down has caused viewer numbers on Twitch to explode. Currently, 1.5 million people are watching Fortnite on Twitch.

The biggest streamer of Fortnite and thus the world, Ninja, had a peak of 350,000 viewers while eating popcorn. Ninja was excited about the event, exclaiming: “They packed a cutscene into a battle royale. Who else does that?”

Ironically, someone from Ninja’s fellow streamers commented, “Fortnite is dying,” yes, even though that is strictly prohibited in Ninja’s stream.

What will happen? It looks like the cube will burst. It already has cracks and is likely on the verge of being destroyed.

During the last big in-game event, the rocket launch, an event that could be followed in-game started right at 7:00 PM and lasted just a few minutes. One can expect something similar for tonight.

This has changed in the playlist: For the moment, the “Creative Mode” in Fortnite is disabled. This is a service from Epic, as players would have missed the event in the Creative Mode – hence it was completely removed.

This is what the cube is all about: The cube is part of the overarching storyline of Fortnite, which began in Season 3 and has continued to develop until today. We have already described the exact timeline of the story in Fortnite in detail here.

This is the summary:

  • In Season 3, a meteor appeared above the map of Fortnite, which crashed at the end of the season.
  • In Season 4, an alien, the Visitor, emerged from the comet. He launched a rocket that shot into the sky of Fortnite. Something fell from space at the same target.
  • In Season 5, rifts appeared above the world of Fortnite. A lightning firework summoned a space cube, which then roamed the map and drew runes on the ground. Eventually, the cube fell into Loot Lake.
Fortnite-insel-s6-02
  • In Season 6, a flying island rose with the cube from Loot Lake, which then corrupted areas. Ultimately, the island shattered at the start of Halloween and released the cube and “cube monsters” that caused trouble. Now the cube has cracks and seems to be on the verge of bursting.

This is what happened most recently: Yesterday, the cube developed cracks. A part of the cube liquefied and dripped into Loot Lake (via twitter).

The bursting is likely to be the “one-time” event that takes place today at 7:00 PM for a few minutes.

For Hunters and Gatherers: How to Get the Wanderer Title in Destiny 2

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 6 minutes

Since the release of the Forsaken expansion, it has become possible in Destiny 2 to earn different titles for your characters and proudly display them ingame for everyone to see. In this guide, we will explain how you can get the Wanderer title.

With Forsaken another customization option for Guardians was introduced – the titles. They come in the form of a special text overlay that appears ingame next to the player’s name and is visible to all other Guardians.

The titles are intended to visually showcase extensive achievements and accomplishments reached in specific areas of the game.

How to get the Wanderer title in Destiny 2

The probably most accessible of all titles: Generally, earning titles is associated with significant effort and time. The Wanderer title is particularly extensive. However, for those who have been actively playing since the launch of Destiny 2, this title is comparatively quickly achievable.

But even for those who have only occasionally played since release or only joined with Forsaken, the Wanderer is likely to be the easiest title to achieve. While you will face a long journey across all locations of Destiny 2, with some time and dedication, anyone should be able to earn this title without any problems.

Destiny 2_20181104092722
You can view the details about the Wanderer title here

What makes the Wanderer title special? This title is tied to the Triumph Seal “Locations”. The corresponding requirements can be viewed in the seal in the Triumphs tab of the game menu.

To claim the Wanderer title for yourself, you need to master a total of 22 Triumphs. These can be categorized for better overview into the following three categories:

  • Lost Sectors
  • Heroic Adventures
  • Location Badges

Although the first two points already cover 19 of the 22 Triumphs, they are by far the easiest part on the way to the title.

Unlocking the Location Badges can, however, be somewhere between a relaxing short walk in the park and an endless grind nightmare – depending on how intensely you played Destiny 2 before Forsaken.

destiny_2_edz_lost_sectors_02

Lost Sectors

Pre-Forsaken content: For the Wanderer title, you must first explore all Lost Sectors that existed before the release of the Forsaken expansion. Exceptions are these three sectors in the EDZ:

  • Scavenger’s Den
  • Atrium
  • Hallowed Grove

They are not required for the title. Additionally, at the end of the Lost Sectors, you must eliminate the sought enemies. These are powerful enemies with yellow health bars and a “WANTED:” before their name. This will then fulfill the necessary Wanted Triumphs.

Destiny 2 Forsaken LostSector 2

The good thing is: For the Wanted Triumphs, the corresponding Wanted bounties from Spider are not needed. It is enough to just eliminate the wanted enemy at the end of the respective Lost Sector. You can pursue this task at any time and are not dependent on the rotation of the bounties.

Forsaken content: Additionally, you need to complete all Lost Sectors in the Tangled Shore and in the Dreaming City. An exception is the Lost Sector “The Empty Tank” in the Tangled Shore. This is not required for the Wanderer title.

If you have completed all these mini-dungeons, you should also have unlocked the Triumphs “Fallen Hunter”, “Great Excavations”, “Broken House”, “Shipwrecked”, and “Loved and Lost”.

You can find all Lost Sectors in Destiny 2 here: Lost Sectors – All Locations and Entrances 2018

Heroic Adventures

These heroic adventures are required for the Wanderer title: For the Wanderer title, you need to complete five heroic adventures in each pre-Forsaken location – that is:

  • the EDZ on Earth
  • Nessus
  • Titan
  • Io
  • Mars
  • Mercury
destiny_2_edz_adventure_01

On Mercury and Mars, the heroic adventures are accessible at any time. To do this, talk to Brother Vance or Ana Bray. At the other locations, you need to wait for the Flashpoint to rotate accordingly. Only then will heroic adventures be available there.

By the way: There is no limit for heroic adventures during the Flashpoint. You can (or must) repeat it as often as necessary to reach the required number of adventures.

Location Badges

These three badges are needed: Now comes by far the most elaborate step – even though this only encompasses three of the total 22 necessary Triumphs. The following Location Badges must be unlocked:

  • Locations: Red War
  • Locations: Curse of Osiris and Warmind
  • Locations: Forsaken

The exact requirements for these badges can be viewed in the collections. It is sufficient to unlock the badge on one character or with one Guardian class.

Destiny 2_20181104121124
You can view the details about the 3 required badges here

Locations: Red War: This badge is the easiest to earn out of all three. For this, you need to collect the armor sets comprised of five pieces from the original four locations of the base game.

  • EDZ – Wildwood Set
  • Titan – Lost Pacific Set
  • Nessus – Exodus Crash Set
  • Io – Gensym Knight Set

If you have been playing since the release of Destiny 2, you probably have most, if not all of it. Otherwise, you need to push the ranks with planetary materials at the respective vendors.

For this, you can complete corresponding bounties at the locations or buy the respective materials from Spider. And as soon as you reach level 10 with one of the planetary vendors, you can buy the remaining armor pieces at will.

destiny_2_kriegsgeist_gear-neu

Locations: Curse of Osiris and Warmind: For this badge, Destiny 2 really makes it hard for newcomers. The following is required:

If you have gathered all these items, you have already successfully carried the majority on the way to the Wanderer title.

Destiny 2 Forsaken TS 12

Locations: Forsaken: Now you need to collect all the specific armor pieces (Streuhorn and Dreaming Dawn sets) and weapons that are available through the Dreaming City and the Tangled Shore with one of the three Guardian classes. Raid gear is excluded from this.

Additionally, the following two emblems are required:

  • Eye for an Eye: Defeat all Barons in the Tangled Shore and complete the Triumph “The Hit List”
  • Secret Victories: This emblem is randomly given in the Blind Well or after completing all six Ascendant challenges

How to equip the Wanderer title

How to become the Wanderer: Once you have unlocked all the necessary Triumphs, you can activate the Locations Seal in the menu. Then you can equip the Wanderer title. The title will then appear in the character menu and is visible to all other Guardians ingame under the respective player name.

WoW: Compared to Sylvanas, Garrosh was an amateur

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A response from the developers at BlizzCon is unsettling many fans of World of Warcraft. Is Sylvanas just going to be a Garrosh but much worse?

It has become tradition: At the end of each BlizzCon, there is a “Developer Q&A” where the developers answer various questions from the audience – sometimes more, sometimes less.

One questioner expressed concern about the future of the Horde in WoW and wanted to know how the developers plan to ensure that Sylvanas does not just become another Garrosh.

Alex Afrasiabi WoW

After all, Blizzard has repeatedly asserted in the past that Sylvanas would not become a “Garrosh 2.0” and would not follow the same path, even if the current story gives that impression.

Alex Afrasiabi, one of the Creative Directors of World of Warcraft, addressed the question and explained that the story of Battle for Azeroth is far from over. Moreover, he spoke somewhat cryptically: “If I were Sylvanas and looked at the world, seeing what Garrosh did to it and planned… then I would say, he was an amateur.”

The audience reacted with a mix of astonishment and cheers. While it is not entirely clear whether Blizzard has now confirmed that Sylvanas will indeed take the “path of Garrosh,” it seems like Sylvanas has much bigger plans, the fruits of which we will surely see soon.

WoW Lordaeron Sylvanas grinning

However, it is quite possible that Afrasiabi did not mean the answer seriously, as often the responses to clear lore spoilers are very vague or just silly phrased to avoid spoiling anything.

What do you think of this statement? Do you believe that Sylvanas can still turn things around? Or has she already been established as Garrosh 2.0? Do you find Sylvanas’ development and her campaign cool?

Have you seen how Sylvanas’ adversary, Saurfang, escapes from prison?

How are fans reacting? After the announcement of Diablo Immortal, many fans expressed their anger on social media, on reddit, or at BlizzCon itself. In the initial reactions, they

Meanwhile, the controversy is becoming more intense. Fans justify insulting Blizzard employees (via reddit), attacking journalists (via reddit) who disagree with them, and even started a petition (via battle.net) to stop Diablo Immortal.

The controversy is larger than expected: Blizzard has already responded to the criticism in an interview. In a conversation with US site Kotaku, further impressions from Blizzard emerged.

According to Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham, emotional reactions of this kind were expected, but “not to this degree.” They know that the audience consists of passionate PC and console gamers.

“We have seen something like this before. We observed a similar reaction when we announced Diablo for consoles or Hearthstone. We knew that people were desperate to see or hear about that one thing,” said Adham.

The appeasement backfired: For this reason, Blizzard wrote a blog post shortly before BlizzCon, in which hopes for Diablo 4 were to be dispelled.

According to Kotaku, this was written in a way that companies like to skirt around an issue.

With the knowledge of typical PR speak, it could be inferred from the blog post that nothing major would be coming.

However, it had the exact opposite effect on passionate fans. Nowhere is it explicitly ruled out that “the next big Diablo thing” would be coming at BlizzCon. For many fans, that was likely enough of a hint for further hope.

It went as well as it could: In further conversations, Adham believes that his team handled the situation as well as possible:

We tried to get ahead of things with the blog post and let people know that we are working on several things.

At Blizzard, we don’t announce things until we’re ready. It’s about the quality of the game, less about timing. The most important thing is to provide an overwhelming experience for players.

In further conversations, Adham reiterated that multiple teams are working on multiple projects and that he hopes hardcore fans will play and love Diablo Immortal.

The guiding principle is always to deliver amazing games of overwhelming value to players, regardless of genre and platform. Adham also understands the feelings of the community and wishes he could say more about the other Diablo projects.

The community cannot understand this: In particular, the points regarding quality have already upset the community beforehand. On reddit, fans complain about this very point:

Blizzard used to cancel games like Ghost and Titan because they did not meet Blizzard quality. Now they outsource games and just give them a new skin. I’m not sad, I’m disappointed and angry.

Furthermore, fans feel abandoned. In many posts, members assert that Blizzard built its foundation on loyal PC fans and is now abandoning them because there is more to gain on mobile.

Even if many fans are offended, our author Schuhmann believes that Diablo Immortal shows how confident Blizzard is.
