Hearthstone: New expansion known even before the start of BlizzCon

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Even before BlizzCon 2018, the next expansion of Hearthstone was leaked. This is due to a news site that had been informed beforehand. The new and final expansion for Hearthstone 2018 is called Rastakhan’s Rumble and brings 9 new troll heroes.

Actually, BlizzCon starts in just a few hours, as the opening ceremony begins at 7:00 PM, where the major innovations from Blizzard will be introduced. However, a mistake on the PCGamer site caused the first news to already be out.

The next Hearthstone expansion deals with trolls and is called Rastakhan’s Rumble!

Hearthstone Azalina Soulthief title

How did the leak happen? The magazine PCGamer apparently made an error. In an article that had nothing to do with Hearthstone, several paragraphs appeared that addressed the new Hearthstone expansion.

What does the leak say? We have translated the lines for you – please keep in mind that these are not the direct words and announcements from Blizzard, but rather (planned) article from PCGamer:

“Once per generation, the trolls of Azeroth come together to contest the blessings of the Loa and the favor of King Rastakhan. This fight-without-boundaries forms the basis for Rastakhan’s Rumble, the next expansion of Hearthstone, which was unveiled today in the opening ceremony of BlizzCon.

Nine teams will participate in this variant of the time-honored troll fight, each led by a legendary troll champion representing one of the Hearthstone classes. The Loa, ancient gods revered by the trolls, will also participate in the fights as legendary servants.

Shirvallah the Tiger is the Loa of the Paladins and costs 25 mana to be played. You can reduce the cost by casting spells, but even then, it is a high price that only very slow decks can likely pay.”

WoW BlizzCon Title title title

The leak becomes more credible as this expansion circulated several days ago. The Korean YouTube channel on Twitter had already jumped the gun too early.

What new cards are there? New cards have not yet been introduced, but the leak indicates that each class will receive at least one Loa as a legendary servant.

This means that the BlizzCon 2018 is already missing an exciting reveal ahead of time. Of course, it remains to be seen what the new cards will look like and what new game modes the developers will come up with.

More information about the latest expansion “Rastakhan’s Rumble” will be available this evening when more details are known.

Are you excited for more troll and Loa action in Hearthstone?

Dr Disrespect fassungslos, was Twitch seinem CoD-Turnier vorzieht

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the famous streamer Dr DisRespect held his grand Code Red tournament in Blackout. However, Twitch had other plans and instead featured a painter.

Who is Dr DisRespect? The controversial streamer Dr DisRespect is a character created by former Call of Duty developer Guy Beahm. The Doc is known for being quite vocal during his streams.

In the past, the Doc spent a lot of time in PUBG. Since the Battle Royale mode of Black Ops 4 was released, you can mostly find him there.

Disrespect

What is the deal with the Doc’s tournament? For Black Ops 4, the Doc hosted his own tournament called Code Red. Starting November 1st, 16 duo teams competed for victory.

A prize pool of $20,000 was set for the winners. Among the participants were well-known streamers like Shroud, Skadoodle, TSM Viss, and Halifax.

What is Bob Ross doing on the Twitch main page?

Dr DisRespect commented on the game and the actions in the chat during the tournament. Suddenly he became speechless. It seemed like something had caught his attention.

The Doc is dumbfounded: Indeed, something just happened that left the Doc astounded. A glance at the main page of Twitch revealed that his tournament was not featured there at all. Instead, there was an announcement for the massive 400-episode marathon of painting tutorials by Bob Ross!

SMITE Bob Ross Sylvanus God Card
Bob Ross also had an appearance in Smite.

The complete opposite of Black Ops 4! Those who know Bob Ross, the late painter with the soothing voice known for “happy little trees and clouds,” understand that. In his incredibly calming videos, he explains how to create such peaceful landscapes on canvas.

Many people therefore use the painter as a reliable sleep aid or enjoy his outstanding painting skills. Bob Ross is thus the complete opposite of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which offers fast-paced action and frantic slaughter.

The Doc is upset: However, Twitch placed his tournament, with numerous popular influencers and over 162,000 viewers, behind what he considers to be the less important painting show by Bob Ross, which really frustrates the streamer, as can be seen in the embedded video here.

What do you think of the Doc’s reaction? Is it understandable that he is upset about the preference for Bob Ross, or do peaceful painting shows also have a right to the Twitch highlight?

Destiny 2: What’s next with the festival quest? This is what Bungie says

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, the Festival of the Lost is slowly coming to an end. As announced, the mysterious murder quest went live during this event. However, it consisted of only a very short step. Since then, waiting has been required. Now Bungie has announced how the quest will continue.

What happens next with the murder quest? The Halloween event in Destiny 2 entered its final week with the weekly reset on October 30. Until November 6, Guardians still have time to secure festival rewards such as the event auto rifle Horror Story or to let loose in the event-exclusive activity Haunted Forest.

d2 fotl title

However, many Guardians are wondering: What will happen with the mysterious festival quest when the event ends soon? Because right now, there’s nothing else to do but wait. Now Bungie has provided some clarity.

What Guardians can expect from the mysterious murder quest

This is what Bungie says: As the studio has now announced in its latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, the quest will span three weeks – even though the Festival of the Lost ends on November 6. Each week, there will be a new quest step including a powerful reward.

d2 fotl 7

For all those who have already mastered the very short first quest step this week, there is indeed nothing left but to wait until the next weekly reset. Only then does the next quest step continue. Many Guardians are disappointed as a result.

So it seems the Thunderlord leak was correct: Although Bungie has not gone into detail about the further quest progression or the potential reward at the end of the task, with their statement the developers indirectly confirm the widely discussed leak from AnonTheNine.

The esteemed Redditor had previously announced the early return of the first heavy machine gun – the Thunderlord from Destiny 1 – as part of the festival quest. Recently, he added that the quest for the weapon would span three weeks. This now seems to indeed be the case.

Destiny-Thunderlord

While this still does not give a 100% guarantee that the leaker is completely correct with his details, he has proven to be an extremely reliable source in the past and is therefore highly regarded in the community.

The probability is high that at the end of this quest, the Thunderlord indeed awaits fans – as a kind of preview of the return of heavy MGs in December. Additionally, it will be exciting to see if the Guardians will indeed be sent back to the Cosmodrome one last time as part of the quest.

Players hate changes so much, Fortnite removes them after one day

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale recently had a highly controversial update. In it, rockets were significantly strengthened, and buildings were weakened. This caused an uproar that prompted Epic to reconsider.

What happened with the rockets? With the recent update 6.21, the Fortnite world was turned upside down. The reason was that explosions from rockets and grenades now penetrated walls. Previously, even behind the flimsiest wooden wall, one felt safe; after the update, one received damage even while taking cover. Cover became practically useless.

Casuals are supposed to have it easier: Epic defended its actions by stating that they wanted to give casual players more chances against professionals. Many players do not have a sufficient grasp of building, while hardcore gamers can erect large fortresses in no time. According to Epic, that would be unfair.

Fortnite-Oh Title

“Hands off building!”: The building fans, on the other hand, saw the update as an outrageous intervention in one of the game’s most important unique features. Without building, Fortnite is just a simple, colorful shooter.

Only through building does a strong strategic component come into play. Furthermore, Epic already has plenty of counters against structures with the new items Quad-Rammer, Quad-Launcher, and the Grappler massive counters against buildings.

Epic bows to community criticism

The builders have likely won: However, Epic stated in the update announcement that they wanted to closely monitor how the change was received. They wish to draw further conclusions thereafter.

This has seemingly happened now, and Epic seems to have concluded that the new explosion rules were indeed not a good idea.

Hotfix restores previous state: Therefore, a hotfix has now reversed the explosion change. You can now once again protect yourself from bombs and rockets behind rickety wooden shacks.

What is your opinion on the update and the change? Did you find the new rule great, or are you glad that Epic listened to the community and is backtracking?

Elder Scrolls Online: This is why housing fans love the new update

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 3 minutes

Fans of the Housing Editor from The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) can rejoice. ESO provides them with new tools to make setting up their own living spaces easier.

Along with the new DLC Murkmire, Update 20 has been rolled out for The Elder Scrolls Online. This free update gives players new housing tools. However, players say there is still room for improvement.

What’s new with Update 20?

Update 20 is free for all players and expands the beloved housing system with additional tools. Here’s a brief overview of the new features:

  • Undo and Redo: Players can easily toggle between changes made with the push of a button. If you preferred the bookshelf in the left corner of the room over the right, you can simply move it back there. A total of 200 steps from a single session can be undone or redone.
  • Group Items: You can merge individual furnishings into groups and move them together. This allows entire scenes to be moved that previously had to be realigned individually. You can even connect already grouped items with new ones, creating subgroups. Up to 50 items can be connected in this way.
eso-murkmire-adventure-zone-11

What players praise about the new update

New tools are well received: The newly implemented feature to group items together is positively rated by players. According to players, new possibilities arise from this. One player writes about the grouping feature: “I decorated the house Klippschatten like a restaurant, and it’s really exhausting to move several tables just a few meters to the left.” With the new feature, it’s much easier.

ESO Murkmire Concept Art 3

However, the ability to undo changes is also well received by players. They can now move furnishings in conjunction with the grouping feature to another corner of the room and see if they like it better that way. If they don’t like the change, everything can quickly be reset to its original state.

How players think housing can improve further

But there are still further suggestions for improvement. Some players wish that they could retain the grouping in the inventory, to quickly place them in another house. One player jokes that would be a great idea for ESO Plus.

ESO Murkmire Trübmoor 2

Another idea is that “linked” item groups could be united into one item. This could allow better use of the limited furnishing limit.

Besides the features implemented so far, players are also looking for further housing features from the developers:

  • If there were the possibility to mirror furnishings, it would be easier to build symmetrically.
  • Players regularly wish for an increase in the furnishing limit, but that is according to the developers not easy at all.

The Housing Editor in ESO invites players to experiment

Players have been able to set up their own homes in The Elder Scrolls Online since early 2017. The feature is well received by players. Additionally, Zenimax regularly expands the game with new lots and items that can be placed within them.

ESO Housing

Crazy creations: Players continually think of crazy things that can be realized with the housing editor. For example, one player has built a house within a house.

Some of the housing instances are huge. At the end of 2017, players could buy a €100 lot that was as large as an instance.

So clever heizt Warframe den Hype um Fortuna weiter an

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Warframe, the new addon Fortuna is coming soon. To hype it up properly, the developers have launched an event where the community follows a kind of scavenger hunt on the internet. Additional lore and useful goodies can be won.

What exactly have the developers done? An ARG (Alternate Reality Game) is currently running in Warframe for the upcoming Fortuna launch. On the Discord server “Solaris United,” an unknown agent named “The Business” regularly posts secret messages and special missions. The messages must be decrypted.

Warframe-Fortuna-Angeln-Robo-Fische
There are robot fish on Orb Vallis

Thousands of players are eagerly at work, utilizing image analysis and spectrographs on sound files. This brings all sorts of information to light.

Fighting Against the Corporation

What does all this have to do with the game? The background of this online scavenger hunt is the story of Fortuna. It revolves around a defiant enclave of workers who no longer want to be enslaved by the greedy Corpus corporation.

In Warframe, Corpus embodies predatory capitalism, which is against any form of labor rights.

warframe-graffiti

This leads to resistance, and The Business’s efforts are one of the measures meant to disrupt Corpus’s operations.

What does all this bring? Once information has been decrypted, The Business posts special codes in the Discord channel that grant additional resources. Furthermore, there is a wealth of additional lore as background for the Fortuna addon. This further intensifies the excitement and hype leading up to the launch of Fortuna in early November.

warframe-hoverboard

This sounds great, how can I participate? For all players who want to get involved in the ARG, here are the following addresses:

  • If you want to participate in the ARG for Fortuna as well, you should join the Discord server “Solaris United.”
  • There is also the server “ARGrataka,” where thousands of players eagerly discuss the puzzles.
  • On the German Warframe Discord server, the ARG is hotly debated as well.
  • Under the hashtag #LiftTogether on Twitter, there are also regular updates on the ARG.
  • On Reddit, there is a thread where you can see the history of the ARG.

Have fun puzzling!

How is the ARG received by players? Thousands of players are currently actively participating in the project. About 30,000 Tenno were involved in an in-game event and stole crates. In another mission, around 7 million Corpus tax collectors were eliminated during the mission period.

However, some fans criticize that the rewards and lore snippets are a bit lacking.

Along with the new field research missions, a new form of Pandir is also coming to Pokémon GO this month. Until now, trainers could catch forms 1, 3, and 8. Now, there is also Form 7 in Pokémon GO.

Pandir Number 7 Pokemon GO

8 different forms: Pandir appears in 8 different forms. After Form 7, four additional forms are still missing, which will most likely be available in the coming months in Pokémon GO.

Form Number 7: Notably, Form Number 7 has a large spot between its eyes and another spot on its left ear.

New Shiny Family Available

As Niantic previously announced, Raupy can now be caught in its shiny form. By evolving it, you can also obtain Safcon and Smettbo in their shiny forms.

Shiny Raupy Family Pokemon GO

Collect Taubsi: To increase the chance of encountering a shiny Raupy, it is wise to collect Taubsi. The quest “Evolve two Taubsi” gives players the opportunity to obtain a Raupy that can also be shiny. So, collect this quest and Taubsi, so you can evolve them together.

Pokémon GO Shiny Pinsir

More chances for shiny Pokémon: The quests from this month give players many possibilities for shiny Pokémon. For example, you can also obtain a shiny Tannza from the quests. This is a Pokémon that does not appear frequently in the wild. But Pokémon like Evoli or Karpador can also become shiny.

Pinsir Quest: After the shiny version of Pinsir was introduced during the Safari Zone in Taiwan, trainers worldwide now have the chance to more easily obtain Pinsir. Pinsir is a Pokémon that does not often appear in the wild. Therefore, it is convenient to be able to get it through a quest now.

Destiny 2: Is there a hidden mechanic in Gambit mode?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the PvE experience in Gambit can vary completely from match to match – even when facing the same PvE enemies. Sometimes the mobs feel like super enemies, other times like the last weaklings. But what is the reason for this?

With the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, a brand new mode was introduced. This mode is called Gambit, which embodies a mix of cooperative PvE battles against AI enemies and PvP elements, where players compete against each other.

Some guardians have noticed that there might be a hidden mechanic in the background of the PvE part. What’s the matter?

Why does the Gambit experience sometimes vary so greatly? What fans think

Destiny 2 Forsaken Gambit 2

Fans have noticed the following over time in Gambit: As numerous players report, the gameplay experience in Gambit against the AI enemies can vary greatly, even when encountering the same enemy race in the next match or a few rounds later.

There are moments when players feel like they die from just two enemy hits as soon as they peek their head out of cover – and this is across the whole map. Yet, in the subsequent match, one can comfortably stroll through entire hordes of enemies without reaching a critical state.

Conversely, it often behaves similarly. There are rounds where, for example, only a single melee hit is required for the Cabal dogs. A few rounds later, however, it may well happen that one melee attack is no longer sufficient, and a second has to be followed up – even though it is still the same Cabal dogs.

D2_Forsaken_Gambit_06

Furthermore, the enemies in Gambit often seem more aggressive and deadly than in most other PvE environments like strikes, events or patrols. Fans feel that in some matches, the enemies seem to endure more damage, shoot more accurately and quickly, or even track the guardians across the map. However, in just one round later, everything can be normal again.

What fans suspect behind the fluctuating experience: Officially, nothing is known about possible modifiers or potential buffs and debuffs for guardians or AI enemies. The only things that are known to change from round to round are the maps, the enemy races, and the human opponents.

However, due to these observations, many fans now conclude that there must be a hidden system with modifiers – similar to strikes or heroic story missions. This could modify the health, damage, and behavior of enemies.

D2_Forsaken_Gambit_11

Guardians themselves could also be affected by different buffs or debuffs in the background. This would explain why the experience sometimes changes drastically, requiring players to adapt their playstyle and arsenal accordingly.

The majority of fans have no problem with the current state of Gambit. However, some would like more transparency from Bungie so that they know what to expect and can better prepare for matches. The relevant Reddit post is currently one of the top topics in the Destiny 2 subreddit. It will be interesting to see if Bungie responds.

By the way: It would not be the first time that Bungie introduces hidden mechanics, as evidenced by the once secret ammunition or XP mechanics seen in the past.

Red Dead Online brings races and duels, new leak shows

In Red Dead Online, there will probably be races. Additionally, the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 has a deathmatch feature and the ability to duel with players. That comes from a new leak.

Many players are eagerly awaiting the multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games has only stated so far that it will enter beta sometime in November and that the mode is supposed to be even more robust than GTA Online.

When a full release of Red Dead Online will happen is still unclear at this time.

Details via leak: The developers did not want to provide fans with exact details about the online mode yet. However, leaks now show that you can compete with other players in races in multiplayer.

Possible Features of Red Dead Online

Data miners are diligently analyzing data from Red Dead Redemption 2. This has already revealed what kind of vehicles and buildings are expected in the online mode.

What’s new? Latest leaks from Fireboyd78 show what players might expect in the online mode.

  • A duel feature – Here, players can apparently face off man-to-man and fight to see who is better.
  • Race – Racing in various forms is something Rockstar is already known for from GTA 5. Now, there’s hope for horse or carriage races in Red Dead Online.

What other leaks are there? There are also signs of parley and small wars between players. We will link the list of leaks for you here.

According to RockstarIntel, these found parameters are directly related to the multiplayer mode Red Dead Online.

Similarity to GTA 5 with small wars: If you get shot by another player in the online mode of GTA 5, you can challenge them to a match. Then, points are counted on how many times someone has killed the other. The following lines seem to be related to 1-on-1 matches in the online mode.

  • Respawn
  • Inform Law
  • Duel
  • Parley

If you don’t like it when another player opens fire on you, you could possibly report the other player with “Inform Law.”

Races in Red Dead Online

During data mining, a clear sign of races was also noted. The data miners from RockstarIntel found the following mission types that are apparently currently planned for Red Dead Online.

  • Mission
  • Deathmatch
  • Race

Community has already speculated: Many fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 already believed in advance that there would be a possibility to compete in horse races against other players in the multiplayer.

Red Dead Online is supposed to start as a beta in November for all owners of the game.

The details are still unclear, but there will probably be some form of race according to these leaks. Which of the leaked features would you be most excited about?

MeinMMO asks: Are you getting a virtual ticket for BlizzCon?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The BlizzCon 2018 is finally here. Will you follow it live and buy a virtual ticket? Or is that way too expensive for you?

Again this year, Blizzard is hosting its own trade fair and showcasing many new features coming to its games at BlizzCon 2018. Whether it’s about World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, or StarCraft, almost every gamer can look forward to announcements for one of the games.

WoW Jaina Proudmoore Veil of Shadows Final

€40 for a promotional event: Even though BlizzCon is broadly a promotional event for Blizzard, Blizzard charges a good amount for viewing the convention. Anyone who wants to follow BlizzCon live on stream must cough up a hefty €40 – that’s €10 more than in previous years. Only then do you have access to all panels, interviews, and insights into the development of your favorite game.

Alternatively, the BlizzCon ticket can also be paid with WoW gold.

However: The so-called “Opening Ceremony”, the opening ceremony where all major announcements are presented in a quick overview, is free for everyone. It takes place today, on November 2, 2018, at 7 PM. You can therefore also decide after the introduction whether you want a ticket.

Goodies offer additional incentives: But aside from access to all streams, the virtual ticket offers even more incentives in the form of in-game rewards. For instance, players of WoW receive special toys, while Hearthstone fans receive a large amount of card packs. Additionally, this time there’s a demo access for World of Warcraft: Classic, which allows all buyers to take a look at the demo for a limited time.

But now let’s talk about you: Are you buying a virtual ticket? If so, why? Is it out of tradition? Are you eager for in-game rewards like the demo of WoW: Classic? Or is the money too precious for a promotional event whose info can be found everywhere a few hours later (but especially on Mein-MMO.de)?

Fortnite: These 9 new skins will soon be in the shop – See them now

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 outfits as well as a new starter pack.

Halloween is almost over: In the real world, it’s already been Halloween, but in Fortnite, the spooky celebration lasts a bit longer. After all, the Zombie Mode is still running for a while, and the new skins still have a spooky look.

These skins will soon be seen in the shop

The outfits: From patch 6.21, data miners pulled images of a proud 9 new skins. Here they are:

  • Shogun (Legendary): Again a Samurai skin, but this time it’s a really nasty one. The Shogun is a black and gold Samurai with intricate armor and a demon face as a helmet mask. So to speak, the Halloween version of the normal Samurai. The Shogun is only male; perhaps a female version will come with the next patch.
  • Flapjackie (Epic): A strange skin that features a woman with huge bunny ears as a hood.
  • Growler (Epic): Another hood skin, this time with a Pitbull look.
  • Spooky Team Leader (Epic): The Halloween version of the Chief Cuddly Officer. She is an even more rancid cuddly bear with green-black stripes.
  • Yew-Haw (Epic): The female version of the llama rider skin “Saddled”.
  • Mayhem (Rare): This skin is one of the outfits inspired by Borderlands and other post-apocalyptic games. It features a woman with a gas mask and post-apocalyptic punk look. And the skin is only rare, meaning it can be had for around 8 Euros.
  • Ruckus (Rare): This skin shows a crazy guy with a mask. This could be a reference to games like Borderlands or Rage.
  • Instinct (Rare): A masked elite soldier.
  • Reflex (Rare): The male version of Instinct.

These are the back blings: Along with the outfits, there’s again a wave of additional new back pieces. The black cube with the eyes is called “Lil Kev” and is a clear reference to the nickname of the cube, which was called Kevin on Reddit:

These are the new gliders: The following gliders will also be available soon:

  • Junkjet (Epic): A cobbled together glider.
  • Kabuto (Rare): The Samurai glider for Shogun.
  • Pivot (Rare): A generic glider.
  • Poof Parasail (Rare): Another strange glider.

These are the new pickaxes: These pickaxes should soon be in the shop:

  • Splinterstrike (Rare): The pickaxe for the post-apocalypse.
  • Jawblade (Rare): A cool axe for the Samurai.
  • Jackspammer (Uncommon): An axe with a tool.
  • Angular Axe (Uncommon): An unremarkable axe.

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

Battlefield 5 launches with 8 maps, but players want more

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Electronic Arts and Dice have introduced the maps that the online shooter Battlefield 5 will launch with.

Eight maps are included, which some players feel is a bit too few – they wish for more and especially larger maps. What it will really look like in the game will be seen at the release of Battlefield 5 on November 20.

Eight Maps at the Launch of BF 5

These maps are included: The eight maps in the game are named

  • Twisted Steel – A map focusing on a destroyed bridge that presents challenges to the players.
  • Arras – A large map where infantry seek shelter from oncoming tanks.
  • Narvik – You fight for control of the snowy port city.
  • Fjell 652 – At the top of a mountain, infantry come together.
  • Rotterdam – A city map where the narrow streets are the scene of battles.
  • Devastation – Rotterdam after the air raid poses a challenge due to the ruins.
  • Hamada – A large desert map designed for vehicle combat.
  • Aerodrome – A ruin where infantry and vehicles meet.

The maps take place in France, Norway, the Netherlands, and North Africa. Hamada is the largest map, while Fjell 652 is the smallest. You can play the maps in various game modes.

More is coming: In the video introducing the maps, the first map is also mentioned, which will be introduced after the launch of Battlefield 5: Panzerstorm. It will be added in December with the “Overture Tides of War” chapter and will focus on vehicle combat.

Too Few and Too Small Maps?

Players want more: The reactions to the introduction of the maps are mixed. Many wish for even more maps and express concerns about the size of some of the maps.

eelSkillz says in the official forum: “Overall a great trailer. All maps look excellent and I think it’s cool that they differ so much from each other.”

staRS-SirBob: “Actually quite disappointing. Only one to three maps are worth playing. 64 players will again be crammed together with vehicles in a small box.”

The inventor of ArcheAge was shocked by the Gamigo deal

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Apparently, Jake Song, creator of the MMORPG ArcheAge, was unaware that Trion Worlds was acquired by Gamigo and that ArcheAge now has a different publisher in the “West”.

However, Song now aims to work with Gamigo to ensure that the MMO stabilizes and receives the new update as soon as possible.

ArcheAge Legends Return new 1

Developer Surprised

What happened? A few days ago, it became known that Gamigo acquired the assets of Trion Worlds and nearly the entire staff was laid off. This hit the fans of ArcheAge hard, as Trion is the publisher of the MMORPG in the West.

The acquisition of Trion Worlds has already affected the game, as the release of Update 5.0 has been postponed indefinitely. Accordingly, the fans expressed great concern and anger.

This is how the developer reacts: Jake Song, who founded ArcheAge with his gaming company XLGames, published an open letter in the MMO’s forum expressing his shock about the situation. He was apparently as surprised by the acquisition as the players.

According to Song, XL Games has already contacted Gamigo, and he hopes that news regarding Update 5.0 will be released soon. XL Games wants to ensure that ArcheAge stabilizes.

He also assures the fans that he continues to work on ArcheAge with his company.

He aims to ensure that the MMORPG aligns with the vision he initially had for the game in the coming year. Additional updates are already in development.

The Concerns Remain

Players remain very concerned: Although Jake Song’s words have calmed some players a bit, there is still great concern in the community regarding the future of ArcheAge.

exidorr states in the official forum: “I want to thank Jake Song for the comment. Although many had hoped for a statement saying that everything is alright and that it continues tomorrow, the words did provide some encouragement.”

FlyBynight explains on MMORPG.com: “Why was he so shocked? XL Games contributed to the fate of Trion Worlds, as they constantly worked against adapting ArcheAge for the Western audience.”

ArcheAge fans will therefore have to continue to be patient for what is to come.

Guild Wars 2: Thugs Let Others Be Banned – This Is How ArenaNet Responds

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In Guild Wars 2, players often buy gold for real money. However, direct gold purchases through third parties are strictly prohibited. There have been cases where gold purchases were exploited to have other players banned through support.

Update from November 2:ArenaNet has responded to the allegations and made a change to the guidelines regarding gold purchases for real money. Players who do not accept the gold, return it, and report to support are no longer at risk of being banned.

Additionally, Community Manager Gaile Gray commented on questions, confirming that support will seek a joint solution with the player in cases of attempted manipulation by other players. Accidentally accepting gold will not initially lead to a ban. However, the gold will be removed from the player’s account.

Finally, a lead game master also apologized to Reddit user Europaea for the inconveniences and confusion caused by the previous statement .

Original report from October 31:

What happened? Reddit user Europaea found gold in his mailbox. This gold was sent to him by a foreign account. He took the gold out of the letter but quickly realized that it might be gold that was bought with real money. So he sent a message to the support of Guild Wars 2, indicating that it seemed another player had bought gold for his account. At the same time, he sent the gold back to the person from whom he received it.

The exchange with the GM (Source: Reddit)

How did support respond? Initially, support warned him the night before he accepted the gold via email. Additionally, Game Master Ultra Viper responded to Europaea’s ticket. According to the GM’s statement, the player has still made himself criminally liable in this situation:

No matter if you actively buy gold for real money or passively receive gold from a buyer, the owner of the account is always guilty.

Guild Wars 2 Living Story Episode 2

In this particular case, the player got off lightly. He only received a warning because it was the first incident. Still, the message sends the wrong signal. Get-out-of-jail-free card for all players? This statement from the game master is fatal and is received poorly in the community. Many now see the opportunity to get rid of unwanted players by simply investing a few euros and sending gold to the players. Apparently, nothing can happen to them in the process.

Reddit user Treize also suggested buying gold for the GMs. This sparked a discussion about whether the game masters would ban each other. In any case, this action would draw attention and perhaps lead to a rethink on this matter.

FIFA 19: EA moves Weekend League due to server issues

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19 the Weekend League is rescheduled for one day this weekend. EA Sports has been dealing with server issues since Thursday evening.

Weekend League postponed by one day: Anyone wanting to start their Weekend League round today will find that it does not work.

The reason: This week the Weekend League takes place one day later. It runs this weekend from Saturday (November 3) to Tuesday (November 6) instead of Friday to Monday. The rewards should come as usual on Thursday evening.

What the players say

Frustration about server problems: Many players expressed their dissatisfaction with the server issues on Thursday evening. Many are also unhappy with the rescheduling.

The problem: Some players only have time for the Weekend League on Fridays and cannot complete all matches now.

https://twitter.com/KouroshKour/status/1058140510567784449

There are also advantages: At the same time, some are also happy that due to the rescheduling they can still collect the missing qualification points. Also, the new distribution from Saturday to Tuesday suits some players even better than the normal Friday-Monday rhythm.

Since only 30 instead of 40 matches need to be completed, the rescheduling does not affect the players as much as it would have in the last season.

However, everyone agrees: EA should apologize for the inconvenience – for example, in the form of free packs. In the past, EA has often taken this route of apology but has not yet commented on it.

A small change totally changed the balance in Fortnite yesterday

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

Almost unnoticed, Epic has made a change with Patch 6.21 to Fortnite: Battle Royale that is currently causing controversial discussions in the community. This is because explosive damage now affects players even when they are behind cover. This is what Epic says about it!

What exactly happened with Patch 6.21? Explosive weapons now deal damage since the latest update even if the opponent has built a shelter and is located directly behind the structure that was hit.

This mechanic affects both rocket launchers and grenade launchers.

Since you are behind a wall, at least you do not take the full damage, but “only” 25%. When facing an opponent who fires rocket after rocket at you, it can quickly become frustrating.

legendary-drop-fortnite
A legendary rocket launcher in Fortnite

What does this mean for players? For defensive specialists and builders, the difficulty level has increased. It is almost impossible to avoid explosive damage if your opponent knows what they are doing. You are thus forced to leave your fortress or flee.

This is what players say about this change: The community is upset. A corresponding post on Reddit received so many comments in a short time that a new one had to be opened. The main criticisms from the players:

  • The building function is further weakened. Besides the Quadramme, items for vertical play, and the already increased radius of explosive weapons, they now also deal damage even if one is behind a safe cover.
  • Rocket launchers were already too strong before the update (explosion radius + damage). Now they are even stronger.
  • There is no way to effectively counter explosive weapons. Thus, the game becomes even more determined by chance (advantages for players who have found a rocket launcher)
fortnite-pumpkin-rocket-launcher

Many players also criticize that Epic implemented the change directly into the live game without testing it in a separate mode beforehand. The outcry was so loud that Epic has now issued a statement in a Reddit thread.

Epic says: The balance between aggressive play and defensive tactics is not right!

What does Epic say about the topic? Essentially, an Epic employee writes on Reddit:

“We did not do a good job explaining the changes to you and why they occurred. Fundamentally, we feel there is an imbalance between aggressive play and defensive tactics.

We have seen your feedback and want to encourage you to continue discussing this topic. We are big fans of trying things out (like with the reintroduction of gliders) and are therefore curious about your feedback on the following points:

  • Is 25% damage behind cover too much / just right / too low?
  • Should all materials allow the same damage from explosive weapons? Or should the damage behind a metal wall be lower than behind a wooden wall?
  • Is the balance between offense and defense currently existing? What else can be done to restore balance?”

According to Epic, defenders who have built a fortress are currently significantly advantaged. Attackers have few opportunities to crack a well-built fortress. For this reason, explosive damage is intended to force defenders to play differently.

New-Mode-High-Explosive-Fortnite

Many players now argue that it has become significantly easier for attackers. Because a rocket launcher can be fired from 200 meters away without getting hit yourself. This has nothing to do with skill, but with luck (rocket launcher found).

At least we now know why Epic removed the remote-controlled rocket from the game. It would have made the new system absurd (fire at opponents from a safe cover and hit every time).

Update: Meanwhile, Epic has announced that it will reverse the controversial explosive rules.

How to stay updated on Fortnite: You can find more news, stories, and guides for players on our Facebook page dedicated to Fortnite!

What do you think about the change? Are you also angry or do you find the change reasonable?

Red Dead Redemption 2: How to find your lost horses, weapons again

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

In Red Dead Redemption 2, one can quickly lose sight of important things. We will tell you how to quickly find your hat, horse, and weapons at any time.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite a large game, and if you are not paying attention or happen to stroll into a cutscene at the wrong moment, you might suddenly find yourself without a weapon. Hats can easily get lost during a shootout and need to be found again. However, for most objects, there are simple tips and tricks to help you retrieve them.

Lost your hat? Here’s how to get it back

Red Dead Redemption 2 Glowing Hat glowing hat

Here’s how to find your lost hat: A cowboy without a hat simply does not look authentic. It’s even mean that RDR2 blows your hat off at every opportunity. If you can’t find it manually, you can simply head to your horse. Just go to your horse, open your horse’s radial menu, and there you can choose hats – Arthur’s standard hat is always available there.

“Hardcore” players naturally go on foot to search for the hat. That’s good for the ego.

Finding lost horses

Here’s how to find a lost horse: If you are roaming in the wild and lying in wait for certain prey, you may find yourself without a horse. It’s easy to lose sight of your horse.

To track down the horse, there are several options if you are outside the standard whistle range. Go to the pause menu and open the map. The second point you can display is the position of Arthur’s horse. Now you know where to go!

You can also simply use the control book in your camp and purchase an upgrade for the hitching post. Once that’s done, you can whistle your horse to you from anywhere in the wilderness.

Finally, a little nap in the camp also helps. Then your horse magically returns and is ready for the next ride.

This, of course, doesn’t help if your horse has died – then you will need to get a new one. Also, if your horse spontaneously catches fire.

Where are the weapons?

Red Dead Redemption 2 Red Background Guys title

Here’s how to find lost weapons: In Red Dead Redemption 2, your weapons are taken away from you many times because it doesn’t fit the current scene. However, the weapon is not lost but with your horse, as Arthur cannot carry everything. Just find your horse and re-equip the weapons to use them again.

Lost legendary pelts?

Here’s how to find the legendary pelt again: Some players also have the problem of losing the legendary pelt because they died before delivering it. However, this is not a big issue because, in this case, the pelt was magically brought directly to the trapper. The next time you visit him, you can craft his unique items there. Where the trapper is located is revealed in this guide.

WoW Classic: You will be kicked from the game after just 60 minutes

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The demo for WoW Classic is starting soon. But those who want to play for a long time are out of luck – after just 60 minutes, the fun ends for now.

Today (November 2, 2018), BlizzCon 2018 starts. At Blizzard’s trade fair, there is plenty of new information about World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, as well as “WoW: Classic”.

Those who have purchased a Virtual Ticket for BlizzCon can check out the demo of WoW: Classic and get a first impression of the “Vanilla” version.

WoW Classic title image human orc tauren

However, there are harsh restrictions on how long you can play. After just one hour, the fun comes to a sudden end.

How does the time limit work? The time limit for the demo of WoW: Classic is quite simple. As soon as you log in, you can play for 60 minutes before being disconnected from the game – then you have to wait for 30 minutes. If a total of 90 minutes has passed (since the first login), you can play for another 60 minutes.

A few examples illustrate this:

  • If you play for 30 minutes, then are offline for 60 minutes, you have another fresh 60 minutes available.
  • If you play directly for 60 minutes, you will be disconnected from the game and must wait for 30 minutes before you can play for another 60 minutes.
  • If you play for 20 minutes, then are offline for 20 minutes, you can still play for 40 minutes before you need to wait for 10 minutes.

This all sounds a bit complicated but can be summarized in one sentence: Per 90 minutes, you can play for 60 minutes.

WoW Classic Vegan Title

Why are there restrictions? WoW: Classic did not yet have “phasing” technology, and there was no sharding either. As a result, the areas quickly became overcrowded, and depending on the influx and the available server capacity, playing would be less enjoyable.

Will the restrictions be relaxed? Blizzard will maintain these restrictions at the start and then, if the influx decreases, will relax them somewhat. So it may be that after the first few hours, you can play longer again.
