But no Diablo 4 at BlizzCon 2018? Fans disappointed

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

For this year’s BlizzCon, fans are hoping for the presentation of Diablo 4. But Blizzard is now tempering expectations for the event and asking for patience.

On November 2nd, the Opening Ceremony of BlizzCon will start, directly followed by a Diablo panel. In recent weeks, more and more rumors and hopes have surfaced about what Blizzard might present at the event.

Blizzard has not overlooked the fans’ rumors. They are now commenting on the Diablo program at BlizzCon.

Blizzard says it needs more time

Right after the Opening Ceremony of BlizzCon on November 2nd, a Diablo panel titled “Diablo – What’s next?” will start. With this title, fans are hoping for at least one big announcement.

What’s new? In the Diablo blog, Blizzard posted an update regarding BlizzCon 2018. It states, “These are exciting times. We currently have several teams working on various Diablo projects and can’t wait to share everything with you… when the time is right.”

Furthermore, the blog mentions that they know what the fans are hoping for. To this, they can only say: “Good things come to those who wait. But bad things often take longer.”

What does this mean for the fans? Blizzard is aware that many fans are waiting for new Diablo titles and their reveal. Perhaps even Diablo 4. However, they are making it clear that the community should not expect too much from BlizzCon 2018 regarding Diablo.

It is unclear whether fans might expect some smaller information on the new Diablo. Because Blizzard states, “While we won’t announce all our projects, we will share some Diablo news at the show.” Diablo 4 or RTS? Fans wish for the “new Diablo”

What are the fans saying?

This announcement caused frustration among many fans. In recent weeks, the rumors surrounding Diablo 4 at BlizzCon 2018 have intensified. Fans believe that this blog post specifically referred to Diablo 4.

Diablo-Tyrael

Here’s the reference to Diablo 4: Reddit user Quazifuji interprets the sentence:

“We know what many of you are hoping for, and we can only say that good things come to those who wait, but bad things often take longer” as “We know that you are hoping for a Diablo 4 announcement, but that won’t happen at BlizzCon.”

In the end, Diablo 4 is what many fans are hoping for at the event. While there are also many speculations about a Diablo 2 remake, Diablo 4 comes up more frequently in discussions. Therefore, this post, according to many Reddit users, was directly aimed at the many Diablo 4 speculations.

That’s why fans are disappointed: Other fans are surprised by this announcement. A Reddit user writes, “Blizzard hypes Diablo for months, sells virtual tickets, and then says ‘don’t expect too much’.” He asks whether others also find this strange.

“It would be cool if only the Diablo community had triggered this hype,” writes another Reddit user in response. “… but Blizzard came out of its Diablo slumber and fueled the hype through a community representative. The hype in a community that is already grasping at every straw when it comes to clues for the next Diablo title.”

Disaster in Black Desert can be averted

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Russian fans of the MMORPG Black Desert recently went through a nightmare as they feared for their characters. But the fear has now come to an end.

Losing the character one has built over years in an MMORPG is a nightmare for many players. However, Russian Black Desert fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.

A Nightmare for Players

What happened? The developer studio Pearl Abyss parted ways with the Russian publisher “GameNet” after several years of collaboration. However, this partnership did not end amicably, which is why Pearl Abyss did not have access to the character data of Russian Black Desert players. A migration of the data was therefore impossible. Fans had to fear that their heroes and progress were irretrievably lost.

Black Desert

An Agreement Has Been Reached

This is the current situation: In the meantime, players can breathe a sigh of relief. Pearl Abyss and GameNet have been able to reach an agreement. All player data will be transferred to Pearl Abyss’s servers. Thus, there should be no loss. Pearl Abyss apologized to the players for causing fear.

What happens next: The data migration will begin shortly. In the meantime, Pearl Abyss is preparing the new servers for the Russian players. GameNet will soon inform players with details about the transfer.

Once the migration is complete, Russian players can continue to play Black Desert as usual. Their progress will be retained, and to celebrate the transfer, there will be events with in-game gifts.

What does this mean for the international community? Black Desert players from other countries also feared that something like this could happen to them. However, as can be seen, Black Desert is doing everything it can to ensure that there are no data losses. This should also reassure international players now.

Black Ops 4: Everything about Armor in Blackout – That’s why it’s so important

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 4 minutes

How does body armor differ in regular multiplayer from the blackout mode? And what should you pay attention to regarding armor in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ? We have summarized the key aspects of armor in the new CoD for you.

Armor is available in the battle royale mode blackout as well as in the traditional multiplayer of Black Ops 4. However, there are significant differences between the two modes regarding the types and behavior of body armor. What should you know about armor in Black Ops 4?

[toc]

The benefits of armor in the Black Ops 4 multiplayer

This is what armor can do in the multiplayer part: In the multiplayer of Black Ops 4, the damage from all weapons is reduced by 50% due to armor. A notable exception is sniper rifles, which reduce damage by 30%.

No matter how the armor looks – it protects not only the body but also the player’s arms, legs, and feet. Only the head remains unprotected.

COD Black Ops 4 1

The biggest weakness of armor in multiplayer: The biggest weakness of armor in multiplayer is the full metal jacket rounds that can be unlocked for most weapons.

A full metal jacket round ignores the opponent’s armor and destroys it immediately with the first hit – even from a pistol. All subsequent hits, even from allies, then deal regular damage to the target.

The benefits of armor in the blackout mode of Black Ops 4

This is what armor can do in blackout: In blackout, armor behaves somewhat differently. There are three different armor levels. As the level increases, so does the damage reduction of the armor:

  • Level I Armor – 30% damage reduction
  • Level II Armor – 40% damage reduction
  • Level III Armor – 50% damage reduction
black-ops-4-titel-01

Level III armor is clearly the best choice, but it is also rarer. Additionally, the highest armor level in blackout provides extra protection against explosions, fire, and harmful effects from other equipment, as well as reducing headshot damage from all weapons.

The main differences between blackout and multiplayer

In blackout, you can switch armor: Once armor is destroyed in regular multiplayer, there is no way to replace or repair it until death. Only after respawning will you receive new armor. In blackout, however, armor can be found in the game world or picked up from fallen enemies.

In blackout, it can be worthwhile to swap a higher quality but damaged armor for a weaker but better-preserved one. It is advisable to switch to the next lower armor level if the weaker armor has 25% or more durability than your currently equipped armor.

Everything you need to know about leveling in CoD: Black Ops 4 Blackout
von Sven Galitzki

If you have a Level 2 armor with 50% durability left and find a Level 1 armor with 95% – go for it! The difference in damage reduction is only 10%, but due to the better durability, you can take 2-3 more shots with the Level 1 armor in such a case.

Black-Ops-Squad

Durability differs significantly: A major difference between the two modes lies in the durability of armor. In multiplayer, armor provides its wearer with an additional 75 HP – health points. In blackout mode, armor of all 3 levels brings approximately 225 HP in addition.

The protection from damaged armor is different: Another significant difference between the traditional multiplayer and blackout is the protection that a damaged armor provides.

In multiplayer, a damaged armor with 3 remaining HP will only reduce incoming damage by those 3 HP. In blackout, however, the armor still provides full damage reduction according to the respective armor level – regardless of the remaining HP.

A detailed analysis of the differences, as well as all pros and cons, can also be found in this video by Call of Duty expert Drift0r:

Is armor worth it in Black Ops 4?

In multiplayer: Most rifles destroy armor in multiplayer with 2-3 shots, while most SMGs do so in 5 or more. Once the armor is destroyed, it cannot be repaired. Only after a respawn will the armor become active again.

If your goal is to achieve multiple kills and potentially rack up scorestreaks, other equipment pieces are recommended – armor is therefore not as crucial. It essentially only provides an advantage for a single direct confrontation and loses its usefulness significantly with increasing damage – which happens very frequently and quickly.

In blackout: In blackout, armor is extremely important and can decide victory or defeat in almost any encounter. It still offers full protection until its complete destruction. Furthermore, you can find replacements throughout the game world when your armor is heavily damaged.

In blackout, armor is therefore an absolute must-have. The higher the level and the better preserved the armor, the better.

Finally – This is the Blood Elf Heritage Armor in WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new update for Patch 8.1 finally reveals the Blood Elf Heritage Armor in World of Warcraft. Check out how the pretty outfit looks here!

The Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance brings many new features to World of Warcraft. However, a seemingly small detail is highly anticipated by many players – the Heritage Armor of the Blood Elves. This has now been implemented in the latest update of the upcoming patch.

WoW Blood Elf Heritage Female Robe
This strongly resembles the Spellbreakers from Warcraft 3.

Armor of a Spellbreaker: Visually, the clothing strongly resembles the Spellbreakers from Warcraft 3 and the artworks that were available for this unit back then. The set is designed in golden and red hues, and also features some fel green gems. It resembles the already known new armor of the Blood Elf Sentinels.

Set with two chest pieces: The special feature of the armor is that it comes with two different chest equipment slots. If you prefer not to wear a long robe, you can also wear a tunic instead. So no one is forced into a “dress”.

WoW Blood Elf Heritage Male Tunic
If you don’t like robes, you can choose a tunic instead.

How to obtain the Heritage Armor? To unlock the Heritage Armor of the Blood Elves in Patch 8.1, you need a Blood Elf character at the maximum level 120. The character must also be revered with the Silvermoon faction. Then you can complete a special scenario that highlights the history of the Blood Elves. Afterwards, you will receive the armor and can transmog it on all Blood Elf characters in the future.

When will Patch 8.1 be released? There is currently no release date for Patch 8.1. However, most players speculate that the update could go live around BlizzCon, which is early November. An official date from Blizzard has not yet been announced.

What do you think of the Blood Elf Heritage Armor? Do you find it fitting and suitable for your class? Or would you have wished for something different?

Dwarves will also soon receive their Heritage Armor – you can see it here!

Das ist MapleStory 2, das im Moment größte MMORPG auf Steam

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 4 minutes

On October 10, the anime MMORPG MapleStory 2 officially launched. Players are excited, which is why we would like to introduce you to the online game a bit more today.

Great success: Just a few days after the release, MapleStory 2 is a big hit on Steam. It had a peak of 38,360 players. On SteamCharts, it ranked 12th on Sunday morning, clearly ahead of the next MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. This is reason enough for us to take a closer look at the new MMORPG from Korea.

What is MapleStory 2 and what exactly does it have to do with the extremely successful predecessor? We give you an overview.

von Cortyn

A modern successor

What is MapleStory 2? The sequel to the anime MMO released in 2003 was originally meant to be a kind of prequel with modern features and 3D graphics. However, it does not take the prequel aspect too seriously and focuses on gameplay enjoyment, even if this means that the story does not align 100% with that of its predecessor.

MapleStory 2 Character

This is the new MMORPG MapleStory 2:

  • MapleStory 2 features cute anime graphics
  • Instead of moving side-scrolling like in the predecessor through 2D levels, MapleStory 2 immerses you in a 3D landscape that is similar to Minecraft and built from blocks
  • You create your hero from the classes Runeblade, Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Heavy Gunner, Knight, Priest, Thief, and Wizard – more classes are planned
  • You can individually develop and customize each character
  • You mainly level your character through quests
  • Grinding is not as prominent as in the predecessor
  • During your adventures, you explore many areas and can discover hidden places and events
  • You fight many enemies and face boss monsters in groups
  • You participate in numerous mini-games
MapleStory 2 Minigames

Tactics matter

Use your surroundings: MapleStory 2 gives you the ability to manipulate the landscape to a certain extent.

  • You chop down trees
  • Blocks that make up the landscape can be moved to some extent
  • You use objects in the landscape during battles
  • You can build your own cities according to your ideas within the housing system

This is how battles take place: Anyone who knows MapleStory 1 will feel right at home in the battles of part 2, even though the 3D environment now offers more tactical options.

  • You strategically use your hero’s abilities, so you always have to pay attention to how you develop your character
  • The battles are fast-paced and action-packed
  • You always need to keep an eye on your “Spirit Level,” which represents a kind of mana. Every skill consumes Spirit, so you need to think tactically about which skills to use in battles
  • It is necessary to actively dodge enemy attacks
  • Team play is important
  • Boss fights take place on large maps, where you use the environment to your advantage

Get creative

Create your own mini-games and more: A major feature of MapleStory 2 is that the game allows your creativity to run wild.

  • You not only participate in mini-games, but you can even create them yourself
  • You build your own maps using an editor
  • It is even possible to design complete dungeons and populate them with traps and monsters
  • You build your houses completely block by block according to your ideas and decorate them as you wish
  • Using the editor, you can create your own mini-games, such as building a racetrack to compete in heated races with other players
  • You can even create your own costumes and outfits to give to other players

This is how PvP works: PvP also plays a role in MapleStory 2. There is even a battle royale mode!

  • In specific areas, you fight freely against each other
  • Duel matches take place in the arena
  • There are special PvP mini-games
  • The Mushin Royale mode is essentially battle royale: 50 players fight on a map where they land with a balloon. The map gets smaller over time. You find loot boxes everywhere, but they are guarded by monsters. In the end, only one player remains.

What does the In-Game Shop offer? You can play MapleStory 2 for free, for example via Steam. It is possible to subscribe to a premium membership that grants you more EXP and some smaller bonuses. Besides, there are also in-game shops:

  • Premium Shop: Selling various cosmetic and convenience items
  • Design Shop: Selling cosmetic items created by players
  • Style Crate: In these “loot boxes,” you find random outfits

Payment is made with the premium currency Merets. You can earn Merets or buy them for real money. The developers state that no pay-to-win items are available for sale.

Although MapleStory 2 is currently well-received by players on Steam, there is a significant issue with gold spammers. The developers are currently working on a new system that recognizes spam more effectively and directly bans the associated accounts.

This is the actual story of Destiny 2 Forsaken

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

The Destiny-2 expansion Forsaken has a rich background story that is mainly explained through collectibles and lore. YouTuber Andy Edition explains Mara Sov’s and Eris Morn’s plan and what the deceased Oryx has to do with the story of Forsaken.

The expansion Forsaken tells an overarching story that evolves week by week since the launch, aside from the shocking events surrounding Cayde’s death. However, explanations usually come in the form of collectibles or extended lore on weapons and armor.

The embedded YouTube video explains the background story of Forsaken, which began long before the expansion. New players should be prepared for spoilers.

The story revolves around Mara, Eris, and Oryx

What does the video show? Andy Edition’s detailed lore video explains the background story of Forsaken. The story goes far beyond Cayde-6’s death and was already initiated in Destiny 1 with the expansion The Taken King. That’s why the Hive god Oryx plays a significant role, as he has long been sent over the Jordan by the Guardians.

destiny-2-dreaming-city-week-3-title

In addition, Mara Sov’s and Eris Morn’s plan is explained. Since the intro to The Taken King, Guardians have been wondering what goal the two Awoken are pursuing.

Dreaming City at the center: Much of the story revolves around the Dreaming City, which is shrouded in mystery and houses an even greater secret. The enormous creature that is held captive in the Dreaming City connects all parties and seems to have its own plans as well.

For whom is the video: The video is aimed at Guardians who have already completed the Forsaken campaign and spent some time in the Dreaming City of the Awoken. New players should still explore a bit on their own, as Andy Edition explains the events in great detail.

Wie eine Katze für einen schrecklichen Unfall in Elite: Dangerous sorgte

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, there was a terrible accident in Elite: Dangerous. During a rescue mission by the Fuel Rats, two ships were destroyed. And it was caused by a cat!

Elite Dangerous Beyond Chapter 2 3

What are Fuel Rats? They are like space roadside assistance. Whenever you run out of fuel and get stranded in the vastness of space in Elite, you can call the Rats. They will selflessly fly out to refuel your ship.

It is noteworthy that the Fuel Rats are not NPCs. Rather, they are players of Elite who spend their free time providing galactic breakdown services. The Fuel Rats are widely respected and admired for this. Even the player who painted the Elite logo onto the galaxy couldn’t have done it without the Rats.

Everything was going perfectly until the cat came…

A pilot was stranded in “Col 285 Sector KB-X A17-3” and called the Fuel Rats for help. The distress call was received, and a member of the Rats set out to rescue the pilot and his ship.

Deadly collision instead of rescue: At first, everything went smoothly, and the Fuel Rat began to initiate the rescue mission. But then suddenly, the rescue ship accelerated with its boosters and rammed the stranded ship full force.

Elite-Dangerous-2018-01

No one survived the collision between the massive space tanker and the stranded spacecraft!

A real “cat-astrophe”!

The owner of the destroyed ship was furious about this incident and immediately unfriended the Fuel Rats before they could offer an explanation. After all, he had lost his ship and possibly valuable resources or research data.

But what was the reason for this incident? According to a statement from a spokesperson for the Fuel Rats, a cat in real life jumped onto the keyboard of the Fuel-Rats pilot on site. This must have initiated the fatal boost process.

Actually, there are safety precautions: While that is already quite bizarre, it becomes even crazier when one considers that the Fuel Rats have precautions in place for just such situations.

juergen-fazit-mit-katze-01
Representative image

The protocol for rescue missions states, among other things, that the landing gear must be deployed to avoid boosts and not to face the stranded ship head-on.

Cats always find a way: According to the Fuel-Rats spokesperson, this is all inadequate when dealing with the destructive energy of a bored cat:

I can’t rule out that the cat could have retracted the landing gear, turned on the windshield wipers, jettisoned all cargo, activated the autopilot, and spread paw taps all over the desk before activating stealth mode.

Blizzard cat on keyboard

Fuel Rats want to make safety protocols “cat-proof”: The loss of a customer is a serious matter for the Rats, so they want to develop better safety protocols for the future to prevent such cat accidents.

Because even though it’s funny that “a cat killed a rat,” it’s not good PR for the Fuel Rats if their customers are rammed to death instead of rescued.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 is so big that it needs 2 discs

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

The game world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is enormous. The game is apparently so large that it has to be delivered on two discs. At least that’s what a Japanese image of the cover suggests.

Rockstar is known for its large open worlds from the GTA series and Red Dead Redemption. However, even by Rockstar’s standards, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a giant of a game.

So large is Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4: Recently, we have learned that the PS4 retail version requires around 105 GB of storage. Now a picture of the Japanese cover of the PS4 version reveals that this 105 GB will likely be delivered on two Blu-Rays.

According to the PS Store, the file size of Red Dead Redemption 2 is 89.2 GB for digital download on PlayStation 4.

Update from 17.10., 20:48: English cover images are now also circulating. It is also clear there that Red Dead Redemption 2 “needs two discs”. The symbol is different there, but it still says “two discs”.

We have marked the corresponding symbol for you, it clearly shows multiple discs.

red dead redemption 2jap. cover

Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably the largest game for PS4

Since it became known how much storage space Red Dead Redemption 2 requires on PS4, speculation has arisen about whether it will come to market with multiple discs. At least for the PS4 version, this is now the case.

Does this also affect the Xbox One? So far, only the PS4 cover has been seen. The Xbox One will require 88.6 GB for digital download, which is not quite as much space, but it is not known if multiple discs will be needed here as well.

Why are multiple discs necessary? Standard Blu-ray discs typically hold between 25 and 50 GB of storage space. While there are Blu-rays that offer more than 100 GB of storage, they are not supported by the PS4 or PS4 Pro.

What you should know before pre-ordering Red Dead Redemption 2
von Patrick Freese

This has never happened before, has it? In fact, there have been some titles in the past that required multiple discs. These include titles such as

  • Middle-earth: Shadow of War (over 90 GB on Steam),
  • the BioShock Collection
  • and Batman: Return to Arkham.

Rockstar’s GTA 5 also had multiple discs on Xbox 360, but these were DVDs.

Players without a fast internet connection probably don’t have to worry about having to download a huge patch at release, as was the case with Black Ops 4.

You can watch the launch trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 here.

Big world, long story – this costs a lot of storage

It was to be expected that Red Dead Redemption 2 would require this much space. In addition to the huge game world, which will offer many details, the game also has an extensive story.

How much gameplay will the story take? Talk is of around 65 hours. It was not clearly stated whether this only includes the story or encompasses everything else as well.

Given the size of the game world, it can be assumed that many players will spend significantly more time with RDR2.

Additionally, the exotic grenade launcher Lion’s Roar has received a new ornament – the Glass of Pride.

By the way: In the Lost Engrams, there is also a knockout system active, just like during the Crimson Days and the Solstice of Heroes.

This means you will receive new items from these special event engravings until you have collected all items. Only after that will you receive duplicates.

Is the Thunderlord coming?

There are currently rumors that at the end of the festival, the exotic heavy machine gun Thunderlord could be waiting for the Guardians.

Fortnite: YouTuber spreads info about rainbow skin, loses money

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

YouTubers and other content creators can now earn money with Fortnite, but only if they behave. Otherwise, Reddit will report them, and the money disappears. This happened to the YouTuber Happy Power, who talked about the skin “Rainbow Skull Trooper.”

This is the new content creator program: Fortnite has had a new program for a few weeks. Epic calls it an event.

Players can send money to their favorite content creator through this event, be it a YouTuber, streamer, or other artist.

About 5% of player spending in the Fortnite shop goes to their favorites if they are registered as “Support a Creator” recipients.

Fortnite-Creator

These rules must be followed by content creators: Only registered content creators can receive money. They must apply to Epic beforehand and must be accepted.

The content creator must adhere to the code of conduct from Epic. Those who break the code face penalties. In the worst case, they will be removed from the program.

The code prohibits behaviors such as clickbaiting, rule-breaking, supporting gambling, and various other misconducts.

Now, YouTuber “Happy Power” has had troubles with this code. He has about 450,000 subscribers and mainly produces videos about Fortnite, usually focusing on leaks.

How to avoid being banned while using mods

This is what the YouTuber did wrong: The catalyst seems to have been a tweet. In a short message, Happy Power gives a tip on how to avoid being banned by Epic while violating the rules.

Epic is keen on tracking anyone who messes with their code – as a 14-year-old already learned. Happy Power gives tips on how to get away with it.

This concerns the skin “Rainbow Skull Trooper”, which is apparently a “modded version” of the Skull Troopers. The special colorful coloring can only be seen by those who have installed certain files.

  • In the video, Happy Power explains how to get the skin.
  • Later, he shares on Twitter how to avoid bans and stay safe while breaking the rules.

The “normal” Skull Trooper.

This is how Reddit reported: A user of the forum “reddit” copied the tweet and posted it in the subreddit for Fortnite Battle Royale. With the comment: “Too bad someone like this is a content creator,” the post received over 4,500 upvotes and more than 500 comments.

Among the comments under the post, opinions were shared criticizing Happy Power. He was good in the past, but now he only does clickbait. This is a term for low-quality, sensationalist content.

Happy-Power-Tweet-2

This is how Epic reacted: The tweet gained so much attention on Reddit that it shot to the top of the subreddit. An Epic employee probably discovered it there.

As a result, Happy Power was removed from the “content creator” program. It seems that this also meant losing the money he earned through fans’ V-Bucks, who had registered him. At least, Happy Power is complaining exactly about this.

This is what the YouTuber says: The YouTuber is apparently distraught about this development. He believes he has been cheated out of all his donations because a “little jerk” posted the tweet on Reddit. He demands from Epic: All players who supported him should get their money back.

The tweet shows a letter from Epic. They have excluded him from the content creator program.

It is unclear whether Happy Power was actually banned for the tweet or for the actual video about the “Rainbow Skull Trooper” and the promotion of mods.

More trouble with Epic has another YouTube star:

PUBG: Pennywise and the nurses from Silent Hill come

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time < 1 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is celebrating Halloween. Therefore, there will likely be special spooky skins in the game soon. And possibly new weapons as well as a night mode.

What do the new skins look like? In a short teaser video, PUBG showed the new Halloween skins. In the video you can see:

What else is there to see? Observant viewers might notice that it is dark. So a night mode might be coming. And then the killers have machetes in their hands. A hint at new weapons?

Fans suspect new modes: Some fans on Reddit are also speculating about a new game mode for Halloween. Perhaps masked killers will hunt the other players.

And some terrified players are already dreading the day when clowns will chase them across the map with machetes and guns.

When is all this in the game? Unfortunately, only the teaser is visible so far. As soon as we know more, we will inform you.

What do you think of the new skins? Do clowns and killer nurses fit PUBG?

Fortnite now has public tournaments – How to participate

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, tournaments are no longer just closed events. Now everyone can play competitively at certain times. Learn here how it works.

What are the new tournaments? The public tournaments in Fortnite are called “events”. You can find them in the same-named tab in the main menu of Fortnite. Anyone who is online during the specified time and plays matches there can participate in events.

fortnite-turnier-titel-03

So they are not exclusive competitions like the Fall Skirmish. Epic wants to give total newcomers the chance to compete in competitions.

All details about the tournaments

What tournaments are there? To start, Epic has announced five tournaments.

  • Alpha Tournament: Solo, runs from October 16 to 21
  • Friday Night Fortnite: Squad, runs from October 19 to November 30 (every Friday)
  • Beta Tournament: Duo, runs from October 23 to 25
  • Salty Springs Cup: Solo, runs from October 27 to 31
  • Tomato Temple Cup: Duo, runs from October 28 to November 1
fortnite-turnier-titel-01

How can I participate? Participation is open to anyone who plays during the event time. The exact times of the tournaments are listed in each event in the game.

What can be won? So far, all tournaments offer a certain reward that you can earn. To do so, you need to earn points.

fortnite-skull-trooper-titel-01

How to earn points: Points can be earned for a certain number of kills in a match, for especially good placements, and for epic victories.

The amount of points awarded for different actions varies from tournament to tournament. If you manage to gather enough points (usually 20 to 25) during the tournament time frame, you receive the reward.

What special features are there? The tournaments have a special property. You play in crossplay with all other players on their respective platforms. You may encounter PC players with mouse and keyboard, console players with gamepads, and even mobile gamers with touchscreens.

Fortnite Tomatengott

The reason is that Epic has seen in previous tournaments that really good players can perform well with any control scheme. Therefore, at the beginning, they want to allow everyone to compete with their favorite device. This way, everyone can compete with their friends, no matter where and with what controls they play.

However, there may be tournaments later only for specific platforms.

Guardians in Destiny 2 discover a really bad omen

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 3 minutes

Those who turn in their offering to Mara Sov in the Dreaming City this week will be faced with some familiar symbols: The triangular ships, which have sparked various theories for months now. Guardians might let out an “Oh Shit.”

This is different in Destiny 2 this week: Since the first team has successfully completed the new Forsaken raid Last Wish, a curse cycle is active in the Dreaming City that “resets” every three weeks.

mara-projektionen-destiny-2

This gives Guardians the opportunity to obtain the exotic bow Wishender and pay a visit to the Queen of the Awoken, Mara Sov.

However, what the Guardians currently see has once again sent the rumor mill into overdrive. A projection of the triangular ships has appeared. Every Guardian knows by now: They mean trouble.

This is behind the ships: The ships can now be detected in many images and cutscenes of Destiny and Destiny 2. What exactly they represent, however, remains unknown.

The scene perhaps most etched in memory is the climax of Destiny 2’s campaign: The Traveler has awakened.

The wave of light triggered by this activates an armada of triangular structures that seemingly awaken simultaneously with the Traveler and head directly towards the source:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_nquTg8Rmw

What does the projection in Mara Sov’s throne room mean? Currently, there is only speculation about this. It is certain that the ships are of great importance to the future of the franchise. However, the timing and context of this renewed hint from Mara Sov are intriguing.

After all, the Guardians are currently in a celebration mood: Halloween is around the corner and brings a new event, and the Iron Banner is back in the game.

Until now, it was assumed that the triangular ships could be one of the cornerstones of the next Destiny installment: Destiny 3. However, Bungie seems to be providing small hints to ensure that the ships do not fade from players’ memories, but remain present.

Darkness is the “fifth element” of Destiny – in evil

These could be the triangular ships: The most popular theories describe the triangular ships as the personification of Darkness itself or as the transport vessels of the race representing Darkness. Bungie has already hinted at more than the four known races in the Destiny universe through artworks:

destiny-2-rassen

In addition to the already known Fallen, Vex, Cabal, and Hive, a new race appears, represented by triangular structures.

However, the majority of conspiracy theorists agree on one point: The ships that have appeared symbolize a new danger that we Guardians must face.

Whenever the ships actually reach our home planet, they likely won’t bring cookies.

Here’s how you can stay updated in Destiny 2: If you want to know what happens in the shooter in the future, follow our Facebook page for 100% news, guides, and specials about Destiny 2.

Fallout 76 is not coming to Steam – Here are the reasons

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

Fallout 76 will not start on Steam, but on Bethesda.net. Pete Hines explained the decision.

Traditionally, most games from Bethesda have been closely tied to Steam. For example, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has a complete database of mods that can be installed via Steam.

However, with Fallout 4 Bethesda moved away from the Steam Workshop and offered mods through Bethesda.net. As has been known for some time, Fallout 76 will now not be available at all via Steam. Pete Hines from Bethesda has now commented on the reasons.

Fallout 76 School with Statue

Own service probably simplifies communication with players

This is what Bethesda says about the rejection of Steam: According to Pete Hines, vice president at Bethesda, the Bethesda Launcher is important for Fallout 76. Because the online game is after The Elder Scrolls Online the second always-on title that is distributed through the platform.

It is significantly easier to directly engage with the customer and fanbase without a third party involved in the process.

It makes things a little easier, and we believe it helps us deal with issues and challenges we have seen in the past.

Fallout 76 crashed airplane

What about future titles? This should not be interpreted as a departure. So far, almost every Bethesda title has also been released on Steam; even TESO is offered there as an alternative.

Since large single-player titles like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 are upcoming after Fallout 76, one can expect a Steam launch.

Fallout 76 will be released on November 14th for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The Fallout 76 Beta will start for Xbox players on October 23rd, while PS4 and PC players will have to wait until the 30th.

Alle Perks in CoD: Black Ops 4 Blackout – Welche lohnen sich?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 5 minutes

The battle royale mode Blackout of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 gives you a range of perks that provide special bonuses. However, these items are only usable for a limited time and take up space. So which perks are worth it and which can be left behind?

What are perks in Blackout? Perks in the battle royale mode Blackout are not permanent advantages but consumables.

A perk can be collected and later consumed like an item. Then it triggers an effect for a specific duration that gives you an advantage. You can have up to 6 different perks active at the same time.

blops4-recon

However, certain perks are more sensible and useful than others. In the following paragraphs, we will explain which of the 15 known perks you should definitely take along and which are rather useless.

[toc]

These perks are always useful

The following six perks are truly always sensible and useful. Taking them along is therefore an absolute no-brainer.

Black-Ops-Squad

Dead Silence

Duration: 4 minutes
Usability: 1 time
What does the perk do? When you activate this perk, your footsteps and the opening of containers are barely audible. Ideal for sneaking up on opponents or looting boxes like a ninja.

Awareness

Duration: 2 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? Here, the exact opposite of Dead Silence occurs. You now hear all footsteps and other sounds twice as loud. This allows you to counteract Dead Silence and generally hear your opponents better. However, it can also make you quite crazy due to all the noise.

Black Ops 4 Blackout

Skulker

Duration: 3 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? This allows you to move much faster while crouching or lying on the ground. As a result, you become a smaller target and can aim better at opponents. And you’re also quieter. A win-win-win for you! The perk gets even better if you combine it with Mobility (see below) and can run while crouching.

Mobility

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Raketenwerfer

Duration: 5 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? Here, everything related to movement becomes faster. Really everything, from walking, running, and crawling to switching weapons, using items, and taking less fall damage. Ideally, you combine this with Skulker, then you dart around like a Cossack dancer on speed while crouching through the flora. Together with Dead Silence, you become a darting ninja.

Stimulant

Duration: 3 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? This extremely rare perk grants you 100 additional health points. Use it ideally before a wild fight, but make sure it’s really heated. Otherwise, the perk evaporates uselessly after 3 minutes.

Reinforced

Duration: 4 minutes
Usability: 3 times
What does the perk do? Here, you become much more resistant to explosions, fire, barbed wire, and all other grenade effects. This is particularly useful if you like to hold up somewhere and would otherwise be easily taken out by a thrown explosive.

These perks are sometimes useful and better than nothing

Here are five perks that you can take with you if you don’t get any of the top perks mentioned above. In some situations, these perks are even quite useful, while in others, they are hardly needed.

COD black ops 4 3

Paranoia

Duration: 4 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? As soon as someone aims at you, you hear an alarm. This is especially interesting for offensive players who can quickly alert to snipers. Whether you can still dodge in time is another matter.

Iron Lungs

Duration: 5 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? Here you can hold your breath longer underwater – as well as when using sniper rifles. The latter is usually pointless. But the underwater functionality can possibly decide the game. However, only if you last until the last zone and the safe space is in the water.

cod black ops 4 black out tower

Medic

Duration: 4 minutes
Usability: 2 times
What does the perk do? You can revive your teammates faster, and they get up with more hit points. Moreover, healing items are applied faster and better. The perk is particularly worthwhile in team modes such as Duos and Quads. If you are alone, at least it is still advantageous to use your healing more effectively.

Looter

black-ops-4-titel-01

Duration: 2 minutes
Usability: 3 times
What does the perk do? Here you can see items and boxes through walls. This is especially important at the start of the game and after the first major loot, as you can quickly see where a detour is worthwhile.

Consumer

Duration: 5 minutes
Usability: 1 time
What does the perk do? This allows you to use items and healing packs twice as fast. This is particularly advantageous in hectic battles.

What about the rest?

There are still four perks left that are little to not useful. Only take them if you really can’t find anything better and exchange them quickly for better perks as soon as you have the opportunity.

  • Outlander: This gives you less damage from the collapse. However, this is rarely worth it. It is better to use medkits and appropriate perks to heal yourself in the zone.
  • Engineer: This allows you to see vehicles and traps better. However, nobody really needs that who is playing with a keen eye.
  • Squad Link: This almost useless perk also shows where your squad mates are through walls. Nobody actually needs this.
  • Brawler: This perk lets you deal more damage in close combat. And you rob your opponent of 50 health every time. There is almost no situation in which this perk would make sense.

Overall, there are said to be 21 perks in Blackout, but only these 15 are currently known. We will add the others as we learn more about them.

ESO developers are reportedly planning a new MMO – for PC, PS4, Xbox One

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of The Elder Scrolls Online, Zenimax Online Studios, are apparently planning a new multiplayer online game. This is likely being developed for PC, PS4, and Xbox One and will be based on a new game brand. All of this is indicated by a job advertisement.

How do we know about the new MMO? It’s not as if Zenimax Online announced they are building a new MMO, but they are looking for via job advertisement (via jobs.zenimax.com) a developer who will likely establish the foundation for a new MMO.

The individual is supposed to develop the core engine for the new project. This means that the project is still in its early stages.

Zenimax-Job

What does the job advertisement reveal about the new game: The information is still sparse and all comes from the job advertisement:

  • the new game is apparently going to be based on a “new exciting IP”. So it is not a brand that anyone already knows. They are not suddenly planning a “Fallout Online” or “The Elder Scrolls Online 2”.
  • and it seems that the game is planned for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, as they are looking for a developer with experience in these areas. Although this could also mean that they already have “Next-Gen” in mind.
  • as a “bonus”, they are looking for someone who has MMO experience. This likely indicates that the new game is a multiplayer online game.

Otherwise, the new technician primarily needs expertise in their field with engines like the Unreal Engine or the Crytek engine and its variant Lumberyard. This is also used for New World and Star Citizen.

Fallout 76 Menschen gehen in die Vault

Who are Zenimax Online Studios? This is a subsidiary studio of Zenimax Media under the leadership of Matt Firor (Dark Age of Camelot, ESO).

The studio was established by Zenimax Media in 2007 to develop MMOs. The only MMO they have developed so far is The Elder Scrolls Online. It was released in 2014 for PC and then in 2015 for PS4 and Xbox One.

The more well-known gaming arm of Zenimax Media is Bethesda. They have franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Rage, Wolfenstein, and more.

ESO Mondjägerfeste

What are Bethesda and Zenimax Online Studios bringing next? Zenimax Online Studios themselves have no new projects in development that are known, except for the ongoing development of The Elder Scrolls Online. The DLC Murkmire is supposed to be released soon.

Zenimax is the “sister company” of Bethesda, and they have several games in the works:

The exciting question: The interesting question is certainly whether Zenimax is developing the “new” MMO parallel to The Elder Scrolls Online and will hire new people for it or whether they will reallocate resources from The Elder Scrolls Online to the new game.

The new project in question is likely still years away.

Black Desert unleashes a ghost on you for Halloween 2018

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 2 minutes

Even Black Desert is haunted by dark creatures in October. A short video prepares players for the upcoming event “Halloween Escapades”.

Black Desert often and happily celebrates with players. Among the festivities are Saint Patrick’s Day, Christmas, and Halloween. Last year, there was a heavily Alice in Wonderland-inspired event. This year, you will be haunted by a ghost.

What does the trailer show? In the middle of a spooky forest, you can catch a glimpse of a creepy villa. Inside, you see the event boss “Haunt” causing trouble. Haunt wears the mask of a plague doctor and appears regularly near your character during the event to challenge you.

Black-Desert-Halloween-05

During the event, various activities can be carried out:

  • The event boss Haunt can be defeated and drops, among other things, black fabric. This fabric can be exchanged with the merchants Merv, Ornella, and Mevo Muranan for craftable costumes.
  • The black witch Isabella will appear as a world boss at fixed times this year.
  • Various event quests during the Halloween Escapades reward you for completing event-specific tasks.

These are the game rewards: In this event, there are rewards again when you have spent a certain amount of time in the game. After one hour, you will receive 5 Halloween coins, which you can exchange with Mael Costa for Cron stones and fine accessory boxes, among other things.

Black-Desert-Online-Halloween02

If you play for two hours, there will be Halloween candies, and after three hours, Halloween cookies. These two items can be combined in your inventory to receive a Halloween gift box.

When does the event start? The Halloween Escapades run from 17.10 to 07.11.2018.

Pokémon GO: The 4th generation brings these 3 regional Pokémon

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Together with the release of the 4th generation in Pokémon GO, there are also three new regional Pokémon. We will show you where to find them.

Three new regional Pokémon: Since Tuesday afternoon when the first 26 Pokémon of the 4th generation were released, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO. Three of the new Pokémon are region-specific. Pachirisu, Plaudagei, and Venuflibis cannot be caught everywhere in the world.

What are regional Pokémon? Regional Pokémon only appear in certain areas of the world. They have existed since the 1st generation. For instance, Pantimos is a Pokémon that can only be caught in Europe. On the other hand, Tauros can only be caught in North America. Now there are three more such Pokémon.

Here you can catch the new regional Pokémon

Bad news for all Germans: Unfortunately, there are none of the new regional Pokémon to catch in Germany and Europe.

Pachirisu

Pachirisu Pokemon GO

Where can you catch Pachirisu? The little squirrel can be found everywhere in Canada, Alaska, and part of Russia. It seems to have settled around the Arctic. It has not been sighted south of the 52nd parallel. South of this parallel, Tauros spawns. So, this latitude seems to serve as a boundary.

Not in Europe: However, there are no reports from Europe that Pachirisu has been sighted, even though some parts of the continent lie north of the 52nd parallel.

Venuflibis

Venuflibis Pokemon GO

Where can you catch Venuflibis? This Pokémon has only a small area in which it appears. Only a few states in the USA and the Bahamas have reported this Pokémon so far. It seems that the state lines are taken as a boundary.

On the following map, you can see where trainers have caught and reported Venuflibis so far.

Plaudagei

Plaudagei Pokemon Go 2

Where can you catch Plaudagei? The colorful parrot cannot be caught everywhere either. The boundary here is likely the line between the northern and southern hemispheres. Everything that belongs to the southern hemisphere houses Plaudagei, including countries like South Africa, Australia, Brazil, and New Zealand.

We will show you a map of the southern hemisphere. There, the parrot can most likely be caught everywhere.

Here are the 3 best Ultimate Team players of the week

FIFA 19 TOTW 5
  • Top Player 1: James Rodriguez. The Colombian is already one of the best Bundesliga players with his gold card and is now going to be even more dangerous with an overall rating of 89. Rodriguez is not only the best player in TOTW 5, but also the only Bundesliga player in the Team of the Week.
  • Why the James card will be interesting for you: If you play a Bundesliga team, there is no way around James in the number 10 position. The attributes of the playmaker are unmatched. For hybrid teams, James is only conditionally suitable as a Colombian.
TOTW 5 James
  • Top Player 2: Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian forward is an absolute powerhouse and has long been one of the top favorites among FIFA players. The overall rating of 88 will show in the goal statistics.
  • Why the Lukaku card will be interesting for you: Lukaku is a striker who guaranteed goals in FIFA 18. That hasn’t changed. Especially Premier League players who rely on individual strikers can’t go wrong with Lukaku. Hybrid players with many Belgian kickers should also try to get Lukaku.
TOTW 5 Lukaku
  • Top Player 3: Alex Sandro. The Brazilian left-back from Juventus Turin offers the perfect combination of defensive strength and offensive flair. One of the best left-backs in the game – now even stronger.What is the Team of the Week (TDW) in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team?
  • Why the Alex Sandro card will be interesting for you: Alex Sandro is also an absolute top player who fits well in any team. As a Brazilian, he is also combinable outside of Serie A. But with all three players it holds true: They will be extremely expensive.
TOTW 5 Sandro

What is the Team of the Week?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports unveils the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. So also in FIFA 19. Players who perform really well are rewarded for their achievements with special cards that have improved attributes. Here you can find the TDW 4 in FIFA 19.

Do you have a player from the Team of the Week in your club? Then you can find out here how to earn many coins with the TDW.

You can pull the TOTW cards within a week (Wednesday 7 PM to the next Wednesday 7 PM) from the sets that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of this is considered low.

In addition, you can purchase these on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices for them are usually extremely high – here you can find out how to get the necessary coins for that.
