Habt Ihr es satt, Festmähler in WoW zu farmen? 8.1 macht’s leichter

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Feasts are important items in World of Warcraft, especially for raid players. With some changes, Blizzard is making it easier to create them with patch 8.1.

A bait and a new recipe: On the PTR of World of Warcraft, there is a new recipe for leatherworkers that allows them to catch Midnight Salmons better. Additionally, recipes for feasts have emerged that do not involve salmons at all.

Crafting feasts faster and easier

The expensive bait for leatherworkers: Leatherworkers have received a new recipe for a “Crimson Herring Bait” on the PTR. They can craft it with some expensive materials:

  • 18x Hardened Storm Scale
  • 40x Calcified Bone
  • 30x Expulsom
  • 15x Hydrocore

You can obtain Hydrocores by completing Mythic Dungeons or Mythic Keystone Dungeons. You get Expulsom from transmutations as an Alchemist or when you bring items to be scrapped.

The Crimson Herring Baits are currently soulbound upon pickup. Only leatherworkers can catch Midnight Salmons better. Whether this is intended and will remain so is still unclear.

The description of the bait is simply: “increases the chance to catch Midnight Salmons.” How high this chance actually is, is also still unknown.

World of Warcraft: Fishing with Nat Pagle

Feasts from Blood Cells: According to a recipe from the PTR database of wowhead, it is possible with patch 8.1 to create feasts entirely without Midnight Salmons. The new recipe “Sanguinated Feast” has emerged.

The Sanguinated Feast requires the same ingredients as the Sumptuous Captain’s Feast, only it does not include Midnight Salmons. Instead, you cook it with Blood Cells that you obtain from raid bosses from Uldir.

  • The final boss of an LFR wing has a Blood Cell.
  • Normal bosses have a Blood Cell.
  • Heroic bosses have 10 Blood Cells.
  • Mythic bosses have 20 Blood Cells.

Blood Cells are currently mainly needed for crafting equipment. Since many professions and players cannot use them, some players will soon have Blood Cells left over and can use them in feasts.

The Sanguinated Feast increases a stat by 100, just like the Sumptuous Captain’s Feast. Therefore, it is just as suitable for raid preparation as its predecessor.

Fortnite: Dance in front of Gargoyles – Map shows all 7 locations

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is a new series of challenges for the Halloween event “Fortnitemares: Nightmares.” In the first set of these tasks, you need to find gargoyles and dance in front of them. We will show you where to find the Gargoyles.

What are the new Halloween challenges about? Since October 24, 2018, the new Halloween event in Fortnite has been live. Not only are your fellow players lurking, but also spooky zombies that emerge from fragments of the cube and drop valuable loot.

fn-zombies

New challenges: In addition to regular tasks every Thursday, there will be new challenges specifically for the Fortnitemares mode until November 26, 2018. These are:

  • Destroy Cube Monsters (200): 500 XP
  • Deal damage to Cube Monsters with pistols or assault rifles (5,000): 500 XP
  • Visit cursed areas in different matches (7): 500 XP
  • Dance in front of different gargoyles (5): 500 XP

What do you get as a reward? If you complete all these tasks, you will receive a cute flame emoji.

How to complete the challenges and find the gargoyles

Everything is easy except for one task: The first three tasks should be completed by every player soon. You’ll find the undead in no time, and eventually, you’ll have taken down enough of them with pistols and assault rifles.

fortnite-pve-event-titel-02

The cursed areas are displayed large on the map and there are always monsters there. That leaves only the task with the gargoyles.

Where are the gargoyles? The gargoyles are new to the game, and you can find them at the following locations:

  • Viking Village: Directly in the large building on the hill
  • North of Flush Factory: Right at the mountain peak there
  • West of Lazy Links: The gargoyle is in the depression that looks like an umbrella.
  • Haunted Hills: You can find a gargoyle in the main hall of the castle there.
  • Between Wailing Woods and Risky Reels: There is a gargoyle halfway up the hill.
  • Tomato Temple: In the lower courtyard is a gargoyle
  • Retail Row: You will find the gargoyle in the house with the Battle Bus

Locations on the map: On this map, you will find the exact locations of the gargoyles:

Coming soon to the Fortnite shop: These 4 new skins, 18 items and starter pack

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 4 minutes

The new patch for Fortnite: Battle Royale has revealed another wave of skins for the shop. This includes more Halloween costumes as well as a new starter pack.

Halloween doesn’t end: It looks like Epic will continue to provide Halloween skins throughout the entire Season 6. After lots of pumpkins appeared recently, the new skins have a Spanish touch.

These skins will soon be seen in the shop

The outfits: In total, four skins have been pulled from the data of the latest patch by data miners. So far, we don’t know any names or rarity levels, only images have been shown:

  • Spanish dancer: A elaborately dressed and seemingly undead woman in Spanish dance attire. There seems to be an alternative version with spooky glowing effects.
  • Torero guy: This skin depicts an undead bullfighter in an elaborate outfit. There’s also another version with glowing effects.
  • Masked guy from starter pack: It seems that there will soon be a new starter pack. It includes a skin representing a rather unremarkable guy with a hood and mask.
  • Guy with pumpkin hat: The fourth outfit does have pumpkins. The clothes are orange, and a pumpkin is attached to the pointed witch hat.

In addition, there are the cowboy “Deadfire” from the new Halloween event and the undead Jonesy from Save the World visible in the leaks.

These are the back blings: There’s again a wave of new back pieces to go with the outfits:

  • Black cape: A cool black cape, nothing more.
  • Red cape: A stylish red cape, likely belongs to the torero.
  • Whirl: A cool galaxy swirl, could fit well with the Galaxy skin.
  • Skull backpack: A cute skull, probably belongs to the dancer.
  • Brown backpack: A simple backpack that belongs to the new starter pack.
  • Snow camo backpack: A backpack with a blue-and-white camouflage pattern.

Additionally, there’s a chained cube part that belongs to the cowboy skin Deadfire.

This is the new glider: There is only one glider that will likely appear in the shop:

  • Colorful owl: This glider comes in two versions and shows a colorful owl. It likely belongs to the dancer and the torero.
  • Discovery: The glider for the Galaxy skin.

The ghost train glider, which is also visible, is not available in the shop. It is the reward for the first Halloween challenge in the new zombie mode.

These are the new pickaxes: Two new harvesting tools are included this time:

  • Guitar: A Spanish guitar available in two versions.
  • Cattle skull pickaxe: A pickaxe with a cattle skull and a cowboy hat.
  • Stellar Axe: The pickaxe for the Galaxy skin

Additionally, there’s the pickaxe with a cube fragment that belongs to the Deadfire set.

These are the new emotes: Six new emotes have been revealed in the leak:

  • Criss Cross
  • Halloween Candy
  • Juggler
  • TaiChi
  • Texting
  • WolfHowl

The latter should be a must-have for all fans of the werewolf from Season 6.

When exactly these skins will come to the shop is unfortunately still unknown.

Rockstar is glad not to be making GTA 6 right now – because of the Trump era

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The co-founder of Rockstar, Dan Houser, is glad that he doesn’t have a Grand Theft Auto 6 out right now, but that Red Dead Redemption 2 is about to launch. The reason is the time we live in. Houser sees a divided and heated political climate.

Who said that? Dan Houser (44) spoke in a new interview with GQ. Houser is the co-founder of Rockstar Games and the head writer there.

This is what he said regarding a GTA 6:

It is completely unclear how we would even do that. Just how angry people would be at us, no matter what we did. Both the extreme liberals and the extreme conservatives are both very militant and very angry.

It is terrifying, but it is also strange, and on both sides, it sometimes tips into the absurd. It’s hard to view anything satirically at all. Many of the things we see today are beyond satire. Much would be outdated two minutes after you did it; everything changes so quickly.

Therefore, Dan Houser is probably glad that with Red Dead Redemption 2, a work is being released that does not take place in today’s time but at the end of the Wild West era.

GTA 5 Online Money Title4

This is what it’s about: The “Grand Theft Auto” series is known for taking place in the present and addressing political issues satirically. Unlike Ubisoft, who believes politics is bad for business, Rockstar does not shy away from politically sensitive topics.

Houser likely believes that the situation in the USA is already so acute that satirical exaggeration today is almost impossible.

The USA is considered a divided country under Donald Trump, where liberals and conservatives are irreconcilably opposed.

gta5_sale

Although Houser does not directly mention Trump in the interview, the interviewer refers to the “Trump era” as the world we live in today.

With Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games has entirely different artistic ambitions and is taking a different direction. This seems to be independent of the political climate and zeitgeist of 2018.

FIFA 19 TOTW 6: This is the Team of the Week 6 in FUT

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 19 the TOTW 6 (Team of the Week 6) is known. These players will receive an Inform card.

The TOTW time in FUT 19: The Team of the Week 6 will be available from Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at 7 PM. From this point on, you can receive the special cards of the TDW players from packs.

The TOTW 6 at a glance: The current Team of the Week is filled with Bundesliga players. In addition, an Argentine winger from Ligue 1 and a Premier League top scorer are the highlights of TOTW 6. 

TOTW 6 – Player card ratings in Ultimate Team

Starting XI:

  • GK: Jordan Pickford – Everton – (ENG1) – England
  • RB: Kenny Lala – RC Strasbourg – (FRA1) – France
  • RB: Pavel Kadeřábek – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim – (GER1) – Czech Republic
  • CB: Shane Duffy – Brighton & Hove Albion – (ENG1) – Ireland
  • LM: Ángel Di María – Paris Saint-Germain – (FRA1) – Argentina
  • LM: Anthony Martial – Manchester United – (ENG1) – France
  • CM: Fabián – Napoli – (ITA1) – Spain

  • ST: Robert Lewandowski – Bayern Munich – (GER1) – Poland
  • RF: Riyad Mahrez – Manchester City – (ENG1) – Algeria

Substitutes:

  • GK: Pacheco – Deportivo Alavés – (SPA1) – Spain
  • LB: De la Bella – UD Las Palmas – (SPA2) – Spain
  • CAM: Nicolás Lodeiro – Seattle Sounders – (USA) – Uruguay
  • CAM: Brahian Alemán – Al Ettifaq – (SAU) – Uruguay

  • ST: Paul Ebere Onuachu – FC Midtjylland – (DEN) – Nigeria

These are the 3 best Ultimate Team players of the week

FIFA 19 TOTW 6
  • Top Player 1: Robert Lewandowski. With Robert Lewandowski, another player from Bayern stands at the top of the TOTW after James Rodriguez last week. The forward brings a rating of 91 and perfect offensive stats with him.
  • This is how the Lewandowski card becomes interesting for you: Robert Lewandowski is already the best striker in the Bundesliga in his normal form. The Inform card makes him even stronger, but it is also more expensive. However, because of the special card, it is possible that the standard version may become a bit cheaper.
FIFA 19 TOTW 6 Lewandowski
  • Top Player 2: Angel di Maria. The Argentine from Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best wingers in the game and brings plenty of goal threat with him.
  • This is how the Di Maria card becomes interesting for you: In a Ligue 1 team, di Maria is certainly well placed. However, hybrid teams, especially in Serie A, can benefit from di Maria, as many Argentinians play in the offense here.
FIFA 19 TOTW 6 di Maria
  • Top Player 3: Ryad Mahrez. The attacker from Manchester City brings an 86 rating and a complete package of strong offensive values with him.
  • This is how the Mahrez card becomes interesting for you: Mahrez is an asset for almost any Premier League team. However, he is unfortunately less suitable for hybrid teams.

von Max Handwerk

TOTW highlights from a German perspective

These Bundesliga players are included:

  • Luka Jović: The attacker from Eintracht Frankfurt shone in the past Bundesliga matchday with a five-goal haul against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The TDW version of Jović features an improved rating of 81 points, which is 6 more than the 75 standard card. While this is still not a top value, it gives Bundesliga players the chance to get a reasonably priced TDW striker.
  • Maximilian Eggestein: In the match against Schalke 04, Eggestein scored his first Bundesliga brace, thereby securing his spot in the Team of the Week. This midfielder could also do well in your team: With a value of 81, the Bremen player excels across the board.
  • Pavel Kadeřábek: Many Bundesliga players will have been looking forward to this Inform card: With the 82 rated Kadeřábek, you get a good alternative at right-back, where until now only Kimmich and Piszczek were real options.

What is the Team of the Week (TOTW) in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This is also the case in FIFA 19. Players who excelled in real football in the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes. Here you can find the TDW 5 in FIFA 19.

You can pull the TOTW cards within a week (Wednesday 7 PM to next Wednesday 7 PM) from the sets that may contain rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of this is considered low. Additionally, it is possible for you to buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are often extremely high – here you can find out how to get the necessary coins for this.

If you already have one of the TOTW players in your club – for example, in their normal form? Then we will show you here how to make the most coins with these players:

Player search in Halloween game mode in Fortnite is back

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale should have excited players with the new Halloween mode “Fortnitemares”. However, instead there were issues with matchmaking and player search. Therefore, the new mode is already gone. What happens now?

New mode is no longer available: Those who were looking forward to a few rounds in the new PvE&PvP mode “Fortnitemares” in Fortnite will have to make do with the regular game modes. Because Epic has removed the new mode just a few hours after its introduction.

Servers completely overloaded: The reason for this drastic measure is likely the problems with matchmaking, player search, and the waiting list. It seems overwhelmed by the influx of players, causing wait times of 15 minutes or more and forcing the servers to their knees.

https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1055077709632757760

Therefore, the new mode had to be turned off while the developers take a closer look at the issue.

This is the status of the disruptions and maintenance on player search

What is the status of the bug fix? Currently, the developers have been able to identify the bug in matchmaking and player search. This is already an important first step. At 14:45 our time, they began to address the issue.

Update 2: The maintenance is complete and player search seems to be working again in all modes of Fortnitemares.

Update 1: At least the squad mode of Fortnitemares seems to be still functioning. The solo and duo modes, however, are still offline.

When can I play again? Unfortunately, Epic has not said how long the maintenance on the new mode will take. However, they will immediately provide an update on Twitter and on the Epic Server Status page when there is any news on the matter. Until then, you can at least still play the 4-player mode of Fortnitemares or try out the other game modes.

We will also inform you here if we have news from the development about the issues in Fortnite.

Jeff Kaplan has announced a new feature for Overwatch that will be released even before BlizzCon. This feature will please both eSports fans and help ambitious players.

Viewer Mode for Overwatch is coming: In the latest developer update of Overwatch, Overwatch head Jeff Kaplan introduced the “Overwatch World Cup Viewer”. The new feature will be a kind of professional viewing mode.

What does the Viewer Mode bring in Overwatch?

More control when watching matches: With the “Overwatch World Cup Viewer”, you can follow all matches of the Overwatch World Cup live. You have various options for viewing:

  • First-person camera perspective
  • Third-person camera perspective
  • Bird’s-eye view with player icons and details

The details in the bird’s-eye view include things like ultimate status or health points. The various settings of the viewer mode correspond to those professional analysts and casters use for eSports events such as the Overwatch League.

In the Overwatch League, something similar was already attempted with the “All Access Pass”. With this, you have access to the “Command Center”, where you can view different perspectives. The Viewer Mode is intended to enhance this experience.

Replays are also possible: In addition to being able to watch games live, all matches of the semifinals and finals can also be viewed later as replays.

You can even set different speeds in the replays or make time jumps. This allows you to take a closer look at special situations in the game and see how the professionals master them.

The mode will come before BlizzCon: According to Kaplan, the Viewer Mode for Overwatch will go into beta testing before the BlizzCon. However, this is only possible for PC players, as the Battle.net client is required.

Once the test is completed, the team plans to further develop the mode for all platforms and for all game modes. You will then also be able to watch your own matches.

What is this mode useful for?

If you are not exactly eSports fans and want to see every match in detail, the Overwatch World Cup Viewer will still help you. With the replay feature, you can learn the tricks of the professionals.

However, it is especially useful when you watch your own games afterward. Watching and analyzing past matches is a common practice in other games like Heroes of the Storm.

Overwatch Reinhardt Hair Amazing title

You can take a close look through various perspectives and speeds at where you made mistakes or played particularly well. Professionals use this to improve, but it works for every player.

The Viewer Mode makes these things more accessible. With the new feature, you can also watch special moments more frequently. Like Genji, who eliminates an entire team with the help of the opposing Torbjörn .

You will also soon be able to view your favorite characters live in detail, with these 5 spectacular LEGO sets for Overwatch.

No Man’s Sky: Nächstes Update kommt – Jetzt wird es düster

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Next week, Hello Games will release the next major update for the space online game No Man’s Sky.

This time it will be a bit darker. The update “The Abyss” aims to address the sinister aspects of traveling through space – which fits well with Halloween.

A Dark Update is Coming

What “The Abyss” offers: The Abyss is a substantial update that goes beyond the weekly developer patches. As is often the case with major updates to No Man’s Sky, Hello Games is still holding back on the exact content details.

  • The update is expected to focus on the more “unsettling” things that come with exploring space
  • The theme will fit well with Halloween next week
  • Players speculate that it could be about the “Biological Horrors” that appear when attacking a “Whispering Egg”
No Mans Sky Nightmare before Christmans 2

When will the update be released? The Abyss will be released next week. However, Hello Games has not specified an exact date yet. Presumably, the free update will be released simultaneously for all versions of the game, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

No Man’s Sky Keeps Getting Better

How No Man’s Sky has changed: The space online game launched in the summer of 2016 and disappointed many players. They had envisioned something different based on the previews. However, many updates introduced numerous improvements, making No Man’s Sky increasingly popular.

  • The biggest Update NEXT was released on July 24 and introduced exactly what players had been wishing for: “Real” multiplayer, where you can truly interact with other players
  • The Pilgrim motorcycle was integrated as a new vehicle
  • Exploration leaderboards for the Galactic Atlas, enabling the community to track progress among factions

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Our favorite big guy in Overwatch is getting buffed. Roadhog’s hook will finally be a deadly threat to many heroes again. This is revealed by the new patch notes from the PTR on October 24.

A new patch has been deployed on the PTR of Overwatch and brings a variety of balancing changes. The most significant adjustments are for Roadhog, who has fallen somewhat out of favor with players.

The buffs should ensure that he becomes more popular again and can eliminate targets more consistently and effectively. At the same time, there are also improvements for Reaper’s self-healing, Mercy’s Valkyrie, and Symmetra’s damage output.

The PTR Patch Notes from October 24, 2018

General

  • The jump height of all heroes is now consistent.

Mercy

What the developers aim to achieve: All four buffed heroes have been in discussion for several weeks or months. Particularly, Roadhog should now become more prominent again and his hook more reliable. The use of the hook often felt like a gamble – that is now over.

Recently, Torbjörn had just received a major rework.

Currently, the patch is still on the PTR. It will likely take a while until it goes to the live version. However, the test of the new spectator mode, which is supposed to appear before BlizzCon, is likely to come first.

What do you think of the changes? Is it good that Roadhog is getting buffed? Did Reaper need more self-healing? Is Symmetra now too strong? Let us know in the comments!

PS4: The first can change their PSN name, but Sony warns them

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

Soon, it should be possible for PSN users to finally change their online name. In this context, Sony is currently inviting participation in the PlayStation Network Online ID Change Preview. At the same time, however, potential test candidates are warned about possible side effects.

The first emails with invitations to test the long-awaited name change for the PlayStation Network have been sent out. This is now being reported by some PlayStation users on the discussion platform ResetEra. The closed test of the feature is part of the System Software 6.10 Preview for the PS4.

Sony warns testers: Name change side effects

If you are among the few lucky ones who are invited to participate in the preview, you need to be careful.

SONY-PlayStation-4-Pro_deal

Therefore, participants should read the fine print: As much as some players are looking forward to the feature, the fine print in the invitations warns testers about some concerning side effects. These could result in a name change during the preview.

What could happen? If the PlayStation Network Online ID is changed, it may well happen that some games on the PS3, PS4, and PS Vita do not support this change. Some game developers have already warned about this. Due to technical reasons, it could be a time-consuming process to retroactively adjust old multiplayer titles.

For testers, this apparently means concretely that they may lose access to certain content. This includes already purchased content such as in-game currency, add-ons, or DLCs. Additionally, save data, leaderboard placements, and trophy progress may be lost. It could also happen that parts of games or apps do not function properly and the old PSN ID is still displayed.

von Sven Galitzki

While these are only potential consequences that will not necessarily occur, testers should be aware of what consequences they may have to anticipate.

psn_playstation_network-600x337

Can the change be reversed during the test?  Yes, it is possible. But beware: During the test phase, this can only be done once per account. Moreover, you can only successfully restore your old name if it does not violate the current terms of use of the PlayStation Network.

After the feature is introduced, it will be possible to change your name as often as you like. The first change is free, but thereafter, a fee will apply for each additional change.

The first testers report: ResetEra user Araya Soren claims he changed his name hours ago but has been able to keep all purchases so far. He only lost leaderboard progress in The Last of Us Remastered.

The Lord of the Rings Online joins the MMORPG trend ‘Classic’

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Back to the beginning is the motto of some MMORPGs nowadays. More and more online role-playing games that have been running for many years set up special classic servers that take players back to the start. This is also true in The Lord of the Rings Online.

Jumping into an MMORPG that has been running for over ten years like LotRO is not easy. It’s easier if there is a server that offers a fresh start. Whatever you call it, whether “Classic” server, “Old”, or Legacy server: It’s one of the MMORPG trends of 2018.

LotRO gets a special server

Classic is good: Many MMORPGs offer servers that allow players to start over. These include:

This allows veterans to return to the origin of “their” MMORPG and newcomers to get a good start. Some MMORPGs then offer that the “Classic server” gradually evolves and receives new expansions. This is referred to as a “Progress server.”

Lord of the Rings: Behavior in RP

LotRO is in on it too: Now the development studio Standing Stone Games has announced that it will launch a “Legendary” server for the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online. This will offer the following:

  • It is a “Progression server” where content is gradually unlocked
  • Players start all over again, just as they did at the release of the MMO
  • It is a kind of VIP server that is only accessible to subscribers
  • Many content is initially unavailable, such as legendary weapons or PvMP battles. These will be integrated with updates and addons
  • You do not have to buy the addons again. They will simply be unlocked automatically when the server reaches the corresponding content timing
  • It is a global server where everyone plays together
  • The Legendary server is not a typical “Vanilla” server, as newer classes and races will already be available and it will include all bug fixes

The Ring is destroyed – What happens in 2018 in Lord of the Rings Online?
von Andreas Bertits
The Lord of the Rings Online

The Appeal of the Old

What are the reasons for these “special” servers? There are many reasons why a classic server makes sense:

  • An MMORPG changes over the years with updates and new content. Many players miss the experience from the beginning
  • Newcomers find it hard to establish themselves on established servers where veterans have been playing for years
  • New players get the chance to experience the MMORPG as those who have been there since the start did
  • You do not feel overwhelmed by the amount of content that has accumulated over the years since it is unlocked gradually

What’s next for LotRO? The developers explain that the launch of the Legendary server will not affect the ongoing development of the regular version. The team is already busy working on new updates.

When will the Legendary server launch? A specific date has not yet been announced. However, it is expected to happen in the fall of 2018.

Bless: First feedback on the release – is it now looking up?

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 3 minutes

Just in time for the Free-To-Play release of Bless Online, the first players have given reviews on Steam. What do players think about the release version of Bless Online?

Bless Online launched yesterday on Steam, after 5 months in Early Access. Players have been actively writing reviews. We would like to highlight some of them.

Initial Reactions from Players on the Release

During the Early Access phase of Bless Online, Neowiz polished Bless and smoothed out the rough edges of the game.

What players praise:

von Lucas Kaczynski

What is being criticized:

  • The game does not look up-to-date anymore and the hybrid combat system is not fun.
  • The game still has performance issues. When players enter a new area, the FPS drops significantly.
  • Bless Online is often compared to games like Tera and Black Desert. However, these games offer a better combat system.
  • Players pity those who purchased access to the online game at the start of Early Access for real money, as Bless is now free-to-play. One player writes: “I feel sorry for all the players who bought access to Early Access.”

Mixed Reviews on Steam

Overall, the reviews paint a rather negative picture of Bless Online. The performance issues persist even 5 months after the start of Early Access. A total of 66 players left a review at the release. Of those, only 12 are positive, while 54 players give the game a thumbs down.

Bless Online Marketplace

Bless is “mixed” on Steam: The game’s rating has not significantly changed with the official release. One day before the release, 56% of players rated Bless negatively, and 57% of players give the game a thumbs down at release.

Free-To-Play Launch Increases Player Numbers

Player numbers rise: Despite the mixed reviews on Steam, several thousand players have taken a look at Bless Online. At the release of the game, the number of daily players has multiplied from approximately 300 to over 3,300 according to the SteamDB website.

Even on the second day, it seems many players are logging in again. The player numbers are around 2,300 at 11 AM and are continuing to rise.

Bless Online Mounts and Pets

Is it Worth Taking a Look at Bless Online?

If you want to play Bless Online after the switch to Free-To-Play, you should definitely make changes to the .Ini files. These provide for a performance improvement in Bless.

Bless has “problem areas”: The MMO is still not perfect even after the launch. There are still some issues that players criticize in their reviews on Steam. However, if you can cope with the suboptimal performance and the somewhat outdated graphics, you can have fun in Bless Online.

WoW: Patch 8.1 brings a mount for seafaring dolphins

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Island expeditions will be even more rewarding in Patch 8.1 of World of Warcraft. You can farm a mount specifically!

With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, many wishes of World of Warcraft players are coming true. One of them involves island expeditions and the seafarer’s doubloons. It seems there will soon be a mount for that.

WoW Saltwater Seahorse
The Saltwater Seahorse – currently costs 500 doubloons on the PTR.

What kind of mount will there be? The mount is the “Saltwater Seahorse.” The seahorse will likely only be usable underwater, like all the other seahorses in the game.

How much does the seahorse cost? The current price is 500 seafarer’s doubloons. That sounds like a hefty price but is relatively easy to reach if you don’t spend the doubloons immediately. However, for those who can’t find anything enjoyable about island expeditions, it will likely be a tough task.

You will be able to purchase the creature from a new vendor in Boralus or Dazar’Alor.

Please keep in mind that the amount of necessary seafarer’s doubloons may still change, as Patch 8.1 is still on the PTR.

WoW Island Expeditions Blood Elf Cheer title

More rewards for doubloons: Besides the seahorse, there are more rewards available for purchase. For example, there is a “Hand Anchor,” a toy that allows you to use an anchor as a weapon, and also a “Cranky Crab” – a crab that your battle pet can ride on.

What are seafarer’s doubloons? Seafarer’s doubloons are a currency that can be earned from island expeditions. You sometimes receive them after completing an island in a reward bag. Alternatively, they can also be found lying around on the islands and can be picked up directly by players.

WoW Parrot Blood Elf Beg title Island Expedition
Other mounts are dependent on luck.

What do seafarer’s doubloons bring? So far, seafarer’s doubloons only have one single use in the game. They can be traded with a weekly changing vendor who stands in the starting area (the ship) of each island expedition. Here, various buff spells or other useful effects are available to make the island expeditions easier. Aside from that, the doubloons currently have no other use. The seahorse will change that with Patch 8.1.

We have explained how to “specifically” farm rewards from the island expeditions here.

Blizzard seems to want to make island expeditions more attractive and to increase the variety of rewards.

Do you think it’s good that the doubloons will have another use?

Other wishes that the developers fulfill with Patch 8.1 are discussed in these articles:

In Fortnite, the cube has finally exploded and now there are zombies

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the big Halloween event has finally arrived. The cube on the island has exploded, and zombies are emerging from its fragments. They need to be killed just like your fellow players.

Are there now zombies in Fortnite: Battle Royale? Indeed. The creepy undead are now roaming the Battle Royale mode, after the cube matter has burst on the floating island and fragments have spread all over the map.

From these chunks, the so-called “Monsters” spawn, reminiscent of the husks from the regular Fortnite PvE mode Save the World. The theory that everything in Battle Royale is just a sequel to the main story now seems extremely likely.

fortnite-pve-event-titel-02

New game mode for Halloween: The zombies will only bother you in the new game mode “Fortnitemares: Nightmares.” The mode for the Halloween event is likely to continue until November 26 and offers zombies in addition to the usual Battle Royale fun. So, you kill the undead just like your fellow players.

This is how the zombie game mode works in Fortnite

PvE meets PvP: As mentioned, you are now no longer alone with your fellow players on the map. From the fragments of the cube, the monsters emerge, appearing in various sizes.

  • Large fragments spawn big creatures. You can find them in the cursed areas.
  • Small fragments spawn smaller enemies. They can appear anywhere on the map.

What do you gain by killing the zombies? The undead are not only annoying, they also leave behind great loot and create more action. This leads to wild chaotic fights when players confront a horde of monsters and are then caught in the crossfire by other players.

The whole scene strongly resembles the zombies from the Battle Royale mode Blackout from Black Ops 4. There, the zombies even gifted our author Jürgen his first kill.

Fortnite-insel-s6-01

New weapons against monsters: Only in the Nightmares mode, there’s the new weapon “Monster Hunter.” This is essentially the already known crossbow that has not been in the game until now. It has been reworked and now deals four times the damage against the monsters.

New outfit for monster hunting: In the shop, there is the new outfit “Deadfire”. This is the male counterpart to the Season 6 title character Calamity and represents a male cowboy. Together with the corresponding back bling and the axe, this set is reactive. The more kills you make with it and the longer you survive, the more its appearance changes to that of an undead ghost cowboy.

Regular new challenges: To keep the new mode exciting until the end, Epic is planning to regularly introduce new challenges. This way, you can unlock even more cosmetic items. The first challenges are:

As a reward, there is an emoji for the first tasks and at the end of all challenges, a cool glider that looks like a ghost train.

How does it all play out? The new mode promises a lot of fun and plenty of chaos. As soon as we can look at it in peace, we will provide you with a play report along with an assessment here.

At any rate, everything sounds good and it seems that the eternal wait for the cube and its bizarre activities has finally paid off:

ArcheAge: How fans are reacting to the sale and layoffs

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

The sale of Trion Worlds to Gamigo has panicked the fans of the games. There is already a heated discussion in the official forum of the MMORPG ArcheAge as the purchase is already having an impact on the title.

Many fans of Trion Worlds games are worried after the company was acquired by Gamigo – especially the players of ArcheAge.

Players are concerned

This is how the ArcheAge fans are reacting to the purchase of Trion Worlds by Gamigo: Initially, the community did not want to accept it and kept asking for an official statement. Panic erupted in the forum when Trion’s Director of Community Relations Linda “Brasse” Carlson finally confirmed that it is true: Trion Worlds has been sold to Gamigo.

Subsequently, the players expressed their concerns, as Gamigo does not enjoy the best reputation among many, and it also became known that almost all of Trion’s 200 employees, except for 25, had to leave. At least that was reported by Gamastura, citing anonymous sources.

  • TheOuroborus sarcastically explains in the official forum: “No reason to panic, everything is wonderful in the world! Whatever comes out of this, it certainly won’t be good news for the players.”
  • mulan states: “This is the end of ArcheAge. It’s sad, but all good things must come to an end…”

ArcheAge releases people, gives players hope for 2019 and Update 5.0
von Jürgen Horn

What does Gamigo plan?

What does “Assignment for the Benefit of the Creditors” mean? In the official press release from Gamigo, it is stated that Trion Worlds was bought as “Assignment for the Benefit of the Creditors.” Gamigo is therefore only purchasing the assets it wants to continue working with to generate profit.

This, of course, worries many players. Profit is now the priority.

This raises the question for some players of why a company would buy another studio that has interesting online games, but then does not retain the majority of the staff to continue operating those games as before.

  • hinji writes on Reddit: “This is Gamigo. They buy ‘dying’ companies, fire most of the staff, and let the company continue with a skeleton crew (which can positively affect cash flow). Then they milk every drop out of the games.”
  • Bloodthurst states on Gamestar: “My God, this is opaque. I wanted to know why you buy a developer if you plan to lay off (almost) the entire staff. So I did a little research and now I understand a lot clearer. Gamigo is actually not Gamigo anymore, but a financial investor, which essentially means ‘locust.’ Gamigo was originally acquired by Samarion S.E., which in turn was bought by ‘solidare real estate holding.’ After the purchase, they renamed themselves to ‘Blockescence PLC.’ And when I googled their ISIN, it also mentioned that it was not Gamigo that bought Trion, but Blockescence.”
  • Andromeda Deluxe writes in the official forum: “Basically, Gamigo has taken over every old game that has gone under at its original studio and is now running it. However, the games are now in a kind of ‘limbo,’ although all data such as player accounts and logins are still present.”
ArcheAge-Kraken

ArcheAge fans fear the worst…

Why are ArcheAge fans particularly afraid? ArcheAge was supposed to receive the big update 5.0 on today’s October 24, which introduces a lot of new content. Many were looking forward to this.

There were fears that this update would now be delayed. And the fears were justified. Additionally, players are wondering how the Korean development studio of ArcheAge, XLGames, will cope with Gamigo and how this cooperation will unfold.

The purchase of Trion Worlds shows initial effects: As stated in the official forum, the major update 5.0 “Relics of Hiram” had to be postponed indefinitely. The purchase of Trion Worlds by Gamigo was cited as the reason, which brought about some changes. The team is now initially focused on keeping the servers running.

One will have to wait and see how the games ArcheAge,

PUBG: A leak reveals the new winter map with castle

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

For PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), a winter map is in the works. A data miner shows first major impressions of the map.

What’s new? A data miner has now found game data of PUBG to recreate the map. With the camera, he flies to the most interesting points of the map and shows them in the video.

Dihor Otok (Vikendi) – The winter map in PUBG

What is shown? The tour of the map starts high in the north and then works its way across the cool playing field.

Cosmodrome: The cosmodrome shows an abandoned space base. It also includes a rocket and a launch device.

Frozen River: Just nearby, there is a frozen river stretching across parts of the map. At its end in the north, it flows into the sea.

PUBG Winter Map Lake

A mysterious castle: About in the middle of the map, on a small island, stands a castle. This is the next point in the data miner’s video tour after the frozen river. There you will find destroyed castle walls and towers. Behind the walls, there are many rooms that invite close-range duels.

Cement Factory: Players will likely find more open field at the cement factory. The grey block is surrounded by many towers and conveyor belts.

Frozen Lake: Around the frozen lake, there are houses. Good opportunities for snipers to shoot players sliding over the ice surface.

Many Villages: Apart from these special places, smaller villages can be found all over the map for hiding and looting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJQPpDOt71w

The data miner states that this recreation of the map is probably not 100% accurate. By release, the map will likely still change.

What do we know about the winter map in PUBG?

PUBG Snow Map Leak Title

This information is new: On Reddit, the data miner allthenewsisgoodnews conducted a small Q&A session about the map. He says that

  • the desired footprints are probably indeed in the game
  • the snow behaves dynamically, similar to fog
  • the castle towers are accessible, but do not represent a sniper paradise. There are many accesses to the towers

Now players are eagerly waiting for the PUBG team to introduce the new map in detail. Are you looking forward to the new map?
