Pokémon GO brings these new field research tasks and Pikachu with hat

Since Friday night at 10 PM, the Psychic event in Pokémon GO is active. It brings more frequent spawns of Psychic Pokémon and also a new Pikachu with a hat. 

New Field Research: Exclusively for the Psychic event, there are now three new field research tasks related to the Psychic type.

Pikachu with a Hat: Along with the field research, there is also a new Pikachu with a hat. This can also be caught in its shiny form.

Additionally, Shiny Ditto was found in the code. You can find more information here. 

Three New Field Research Tasks

Niantic announced in its announcement about the Psychic event that new field research tasks related to the Psychic spectacle will be added to the game. These three tasks are as follows:

  • Catch 5 Abra or Drowzee
    • Reward: Encounter with a Roselia
  • Evolve 3 Psyduck or Swablu
    • Reward: Encounter with a Girafarig
  • Catch 10 Psychic Pokémon
    • Reward: 1000 Stardust
Pokémon GO Roselia

It seems that the three quests are quite frequently available. The other quests that have been new since early October are also still active.

Pikachu with a New Hat Appears

No trainer likely expected this: In addition to the various Psychic Pokémon that are now appearing, there is also a new Pikachu. This one wears a hat with two lightning bolts. The Pikachu can also be encountered in its shiny form.

Only 48 hours: On Twitter, the YouTuber “PkmnMasterHolly” reports that this special Pikachu will only be available for 48 hours. Additionally, there will be no Pichu with this hat.

How to earn the title “Dredgen” in Destiny 2

In Destiny 2 it is now possible to earn titles for your characters and proudly display them in-game for everyone to see. We explain how you can secure the Dredgen title from the Gambit mode.

With the Forsaken expansion, titles were introduced into the game. These are special text displays that appear in-game next to the player’s name and are visible to all other Guardians. The titles are meant to visually showcase extensive achievements and accomplishments that players have reached in specific areas of the game.

How to Obtain the Dredgen Title in Destiny 2

Grind is the keyword: Earning a title is associated with a lot of work and effort. It involves a wide range of tasks that must be successfully mastered. The Dredgen title is no exception.

What makes the Dredgen title special? This title is tied to Gambit and has only recently become unlockable. The requirements can mostly be viewed through the Gambit seal via the Triumphs tab in the game menu.

Destiny 2_20181006102921
Here you can view the details for the Dredgen title

You need to unlock 11 different achievements, which in turn consist of several tasks. 2 of them are secret, one was only recently discovered.

von Tom Rothstein

What you need to do for the Dredgen title:

  • Complete the entire badge “From Fun to Serious” in the collections. You need to collect all armor pieces and weapons as well as the emblem, shader, ghost shell, ship, and sparrow that are available through the Gambit playlist with one of the three Guardian classes.
  • Defeat an invader in Gambit 10 times while their super is active
  • Win a Gambit match with a Gambit weapon in every slot
  • Defeat 4 enemy Guardians as an invader in a single invasion 3 times
  • Defeat 40 enemies in a single Gambit match without dying 3 times
  • Defeat one high-value target of all enemy species
  • Win a Gambit match against all enemy species
  • Reset your infamy rank once in Gambit
  • Deposit 38 or more motes in a round – this 5 times
Destiny 2_20181006102936
Here you can view the details of the badge “From Fun to Serious”

The Secret Tasks for the Title

The previous steps are all self-explanatory. However, the following two tasks will be displayed as secret until you complete them. They are, however, prerequisites for unlocking the title.

  • You need to earn the exotic hand cannon Breachlight. Until recently, this was not possible as the weapon was hidden behind a time lock.
  • The second task is called “Protect the Runner”. A player must deposit 100 motes at the bank in a single Gambit match without losing a single mote. Moreover, this match must also be won – a task that can probably only be accomplished in a fixed and well-coordinated team.

Once all these triumphs have been unlocked, the Gambit seal can be activated in the menu. Then, you can equip the Dredgen title. This will then appear in your character menu and will be visible to all other Guardians in-game under the respective player name.

This is what the titles look like in-game – here The Chronicler

What is the significance of Dredgen? Dredgen refers to Dredgen Yor – a character in Destiny lore, whose story dates back to the Grimoire in Destiny 1 and is the original owner of the exotic hand cannon Thorn.

In the lore of Destiny 2, there is a connection between Dredgen Yor and the Drifter, the host and merchant of Gambit, which can be read in detail in the corresponding lore tab.

Many consider the werewolf skin the best outfit in Fortnite

In Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, the ultimate skin at level 100 is the werewolf. According to many players, it is the coolest skin ever in Fortnite. But what can the wolf do and how do you get it?

The ultimate skin in Season 6: When you reach level 100 in the Season 6 Battle Pass in Fortnite, you unlock a special skin. This time in Season 6 it is a werewolf, simply called “Wolf” (in English “Dire”).

fn-wolf-battlepass

What can the wolf do? The special thing about the wolf is that it is a werewolf. It has six different skin options:

  • Level 1: The wolf is still completely human here. It wears a headband and a jacket and somewhat resembles Karate Kid.
  • Level 2: The transformation begins. The wolf is still roughly human but hairy and animalistic.
  • Level 3: The wolf is now a werewolf. It has the typical wolf muzzle, claws, wolf legs, and fur. Its fur is brownish in this form. Curiously, it now carries nunchaku on its belt.
  • Level 4: The appearance of the wolf is identical to level 3, but the colors are different. Its fur is now grayish.
  • Level 5: Here, the colors have changed again. The wolf is now wearing a more white fur.
  • Level 6: The final form of the wolf is especially noticeable for its black fur.

Players love the wolf

What players say: For many players, the wolf is a real eye-catcher for which one would gladly grind 100 levels in the Battle Pass. There are various reasons for this:

  • The wolf is a clear homage to iconic 80s movies, including Teen Wolf or Karate Kid.
  • Some players recognize the character Ryu from the game Street Fighter in the wolf.
  • Others believe that the wolf resembles the character Crash Bandicoot.
  • Many find that the wolf is much cooler than John Wick from Season 3. Wick also became a symbol for humorless tryhards at that time.
Fortnite-Wick

Moreover, the wolf just looks wonderfully ridiculous when it performs the many emotes that are currently in the game. But see for yourself:

Fun fact: The term werewolf has nothing to do with a pronoun. “Wer” simply means “man” in Germanic. Thus, a werewolf is a “man-wolf,” which aptly describes the creature.

How do you get the wolf and what else is there?

This is how you quickly get to level 100: To get the wolf, you first have to unlock all 100 levels in the Battle Pass. Thanks to the challenges every week, this goes quite fast. Additionally, if you regularly play Fortnite and especially win more often (this works especially well in the 50vs50 mode), you will gain even more XP and level up a few additional ranks.

https://youtu.be/HEVGGBkCo_Y

How do I unlock the variants for the wolf? To make the wolf really rock, you need the additional variants. These are available from the following XP totals:

  • Level 2: 30,000 XP
  • Level 3: 70,000 XP
  • Level 4: 120,000 XP
  • Level 5: 180,000 XP
  • Level 6: 250,000 XP

This impressive amount of XP is ideally earned through challenges and victories, as that way you always get plenty of XP.

What if I can’t make it by the end of Season 6? No worries, since Season 5 you no longer need to unlock all variants in one season. So you have as long as Fortnite exists to unlock the variants.

Fortnite-Season-6-battlepass-skins-01

You can only earn the wolf itself in Season 6. So hurry up.

More bling for the wolf

What else is there? The wolf has a few other cool options up its sleeve:

  • If you unlock 5 options for the wolf, you get a back bling called “Wolfpack” katana.
  • If you unlock a total of 20 weekly challenges, you get a blue color option for the wolf’s outfit.
  • If you unlock a total of 40 weekly challenges, you get a yellow color option for the wolf’s outfit.
  • If you unlock a total of 60 weekly challenges, you get a gray color option for the wolf’s outfit.

What about a harvesting tool? It seems there is currently no dedicated pickaxe for the wolf.

fn wolfpack
This is the back bling for the wolf.

Is there more to come? As always, there should be a female version of the wolf available in the shop towards the end of Season 6. After all, in Seasons 4 and 5, we had the skins Oblivion and Valkyrie as female counterparts to Omega and Ragnarök.

What do you think of the wolf? Or does your heart beat more for its opponent, Cowgirl Calamity?

Letzter Wunsch wird der 1. Raid in Destiny 2 ohne Hard-Mode

Bungie breaks with tradition:  For the first time, there will be no additional difficulty level for a raid in Destiny. The Destiny 2 raid “Last Wish” will thus do without a Prestige mode.

In every raid that Bungie has released so far, there has been some form of an additional difficulty level. In Destiny 2, there has been the Prestige mode, which offered new modifiers for the Leviathan raid and the two raid encounters as well as new mechanics for the main raid.

Now that “Last Wish” has been defeated, fans are now wondering when the Prestige mode for the new raid will launch.

No additional difficulty level for Forsaken raid

The answer to this question may disappoint many. Because as Bungie announced in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, things will be different with the Forsaken expansion. There will be no Prestige mode for the raid “Last Wish”.

Bungie raid

Conscious decision: This step was justified with a difficult but conscious decision in favor of a multifaceted endgame. With Forsaken, Bungie wanted to create an experience that offers more variations and rewards in the endgame for the Guardians. There should also be enough unique endgame activities outside the raid to earn worthwhile rewards.

When deciding on this approach, the focus was on developing a single version of the raid that has no tiers and is still very rewarding – the best rewards should be available to anyone who successfully fights through.

Destiny 2: All Raid Weapons from Last Wish – Their Strengths
von Tom Rothstein

Last Wish is structured differently: You can also see this in the structure of “Last Wish”. The Forsaken raid starts with a recommended power level of 550. However, as the raid progresses, it scales much more than its predecessors.

Normally, raids stay at about the same level – only the final boss is significantly higher in terms of power level. However, “Last Wish” continuously scales from encounter to encounter and ends with a fight against Riven at power level 580.

Destiny 2 forsaken raid entrance

Additional challenge in the Forsaken raid: However, Guardians will not have to go without an additional challenge. If the Forsaken raid in its current form does not provide a suitable challenge, players can try the 13th wish. This raises the bar in “Last Wish” to a whole different level even without new modifiers or boss mechanics.

What about the upcoming raid content? It is still unknown whether Bungie will maintain this design decision for the upcoming raid encounters. However, as the studio announced, more information about the new encounter should be available soon. This is set to be introduced in December 2018 for owners of the Annual Pass with the Annual Pass content “Black Armory” coming to the game.

This is how Blizzard wants to improve the Azerite system in WoW

There are ongoing discussions about the Azerite armor in World of Warcraft. Blizzard has now released plans on how the system will be improved.

Azerite armor should be easier to obtain: Community Manager Lore has outlined in the official WoW forums some changes to the Azerite system that are yet to come:

  • It should be easier to obtain better armor pieces
  • and the armor will generally be strengthened
WoW Heart of Azeroth in the hand of a gnome title

The Azerite system is constantly being improved

The problem: One of the biggest problems with the Azerite system has been that Azerite armors are much harder to obtain at item level 370 than between levels 325 and 340. Blizzard has taken that feedback from the community.

More on the topic
The Azerite system in WoW is annoying, here is how players want to improve it
von Cortyn

Here’s how it is now: Currently, through Emissary quests, Azerite pieces with a maximum item level of 340 can be obtained, as the pieces cannot be warforged.

What will change: In the future, this limit is supposed to increase to up to 370 depending on the equipped item level. That’s at least the provisional solution.

The developers decided on Emissary quests as a new source, as this content is accessible to every player, not just those who play PvE or PvP content intensively.

WoW Orc Ground Human Soldier Jump Cheer title

More and better traits: The armors themselves should also become stronger. In the “BfA Season 2,” as the developers call it, Azerite pieces will receive a fifth ring in the outer segment.

Along with the new season come:

The most popular Azerite traits should be available on more items.

More on the topic
WoW-Guide: So nutzt Ihr das Herz von Azeroth und seine Talente
von Benedict Grothaus

The traits themselves will also be revised. So that not the “easiest” traits remain the strongest, some of them will be adjusted, and new ones will be introduced. This should give all classes more opportunities to specialize.

WoW Heart of Azeroth Stronger Powers

Everything will be even stronger: After some criticism, Lore published a supplement to the new system. Along with the Siege of Zuldazar, all equipment obtained from all content should become stronger.

New Azerite items, such as those from Mythic+ dungeons, will already have 5 rings. However, old armor will not be retroactively strengthened.

As the average item level increases, the limit of item level 370 for Azerite armor from Emissary quests will also be raised. The obtained item level continues to scale with your character’s.

WoW Blood Elf Draenei no title

When will the changes come? The strengthened armor will only appear with the new raid Siege of Zuldazar in Patch 8.1.

Some of the other changes, such as the better Azerite pieces from Emissary quests, are “of higher priority” and will probably come soon.


You probably won’t have to wait much longer: Patch 8.1 is closer than you all think.

PUBG-Spieler forderten monatelang ein Feature, das sie jetzt doof finden

One of the most important features on players’ wishlists PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has long been a region lock. But that is now causing problems, since it is here.

Anyone who has followed the PUBG scene a bit in recent months will have seen this one big wish from the community. Players wanted a region lock so that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region.

For a long time, the PUBG team was against such a feature. Now it is active and the community is noticing that it doesn’t work.

“Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing!”

What happened? The cries for regional matchmaking grew louder as many players from China came to servers in other regions.

Players and even the anti-cheat service BattlEye have said that Chinese players make up a large part of the cheaters in PUBG.

PUBG China Castle

They called for “Region Lock”: For the community, it was clear how to solve the cheating problem. With their demand for a region lock, they insisted that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region. No longer in NA or EU.

This went so far that they would rather have a region lock than gifted in-game currency.

PUBG gives in: Originally, the PUBG team was against such a measure. Brendan Greene, known as PlayerUnknown, said “it just doesn’t work.”

Now they listened to the community’s wish, which had clearly expressed the demand for a region lock under the Steam posts of PUBG for months.

PUBG Region Lock Steam 2

Okay, a kind of region lock is here: Since the latest PUBG update, players are supposed to be directed to servers in their region to play. Exceptions only exist if playing with a friend from another region. At least that was the plan.

Now players are angry: In the Steam forums, many PUBG players are now complaining about the region lock after the update:

  • There will probably be problems with ping.
  • Others are writing that they are now having trouble finding matches.
  • Again, others explain that they are now playing more often with cheaters.

One particular post stands out with the title “Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing yet” (via Steam forums).

Another new feature is coming to PUBG soon, which fans are already looking forward to. The snow map is coming to PUBG and these are the first images of it

In Destiny 2 there are beautiful and nasty stories from the raid

On the Reddit forum for Destiny 2 currently, two stories are dominating the headlines, both revolving around the raid “Last Wish,” and they couldn’t be more different. One is really nice and uplifting – the other is the embodiment of evil.

On the reddit forum, the global community of Destiny 2 gathers. It’s a sort of “international forum.” While it had become quite a salt mine at times, the mood has improved significantly in the last month, since the expansion “Forsaken.”

Instead of lamenting their plight and demanding changes to Destiny 2 with “Bungo pls,” Guardians are now sharing stories from their gameplay experience again. Today at MeinMMO, we want to take a look at two recent stories.

The Great Achievement

The Good Story: A group of hearing-impaired players managed to clear the raid “Last Wish.”

This is a remarkable achievement because Guardians usually rely on verbal communication to coordinate their efforts. The hearing-impaired Guardians here depend on visual agreements.

The user funpak explains that he waved his arms around extraordinarily hard in the video conference to attract the attention of his fellow Guardians, when it came to the last orbs. But no one responded to him. So, he had to take matters into his own hands and was very relieved when they actually succeeded.

The Guardian says: “We are incredibly relieved to have mastered the most exciting raid that Bungie has ever created.”

destiny-2-riven

Here’s Why It’s So Great: It’s simply a beautiful story that people overcome their handicap and achieve something that is also difficult for players without disabilities. We have previously reported on hearing-impaired Guardians and their successes in Destiny raids.

How the Fans React: Players in Destiny have already congratulated them enthusiastically, even though the story came in the middle of the night US time. The thread has over 3000 upvotes. Guardians are once again impressed by what players with disabilities can achieve. They are curiously asking how certain encounters were overcome and agree: The achievement is fantastic.

Destiny 2 Forsaken One Thousand Voices

The Pure Evil

The Nasty Story: However, another story is even more popular, which is quite nasty.

A Guardian says: “In my last 3 raid clears, there was always one guy who desperately wanted the weapon One Thousand Voices. But it just doesn’t drop for him.”

Instead of pitying his unfortunate teammates, the Guardian has always pulled his own “1000 Voices” from his collection during the last three clears. And he did this just at the moment when the group opened the last chest so it seems like the weapon dropped for him.

The Guardian says: “I don’t want to be the bad guy, but I just can’t help it. Please send help.”

Destiny sorrow

Here’s Why It’s So Nasty: The cruel thing here is that the unfortunate players already feel like they have bad luck and get it rubbed in their face even more by the drop for someone else.

How the Players React: The story is worth over 5000 upvotes for the Guardians, and community manager Dmg04 comments, “The Pure Evil.” Others say they should be blamed if they don’t realize that they are actually playing with Savathun herself. She is the Witch Queen of Destiny 2 and something like pure evil.

More money in FIFA 19 career: How to get rich with your club

Money is essential in the Career Mode of FIFA 19 for almost everything. Here you will find tips on how to optimally deploy and improve your club’s finances.

When you enter the Career Mode, you will find that it is particularly difficult to upgrade your squad at the beginning. With top clubs, you already have top players – better players are correspondingly expensive.

Smaller clubs often face the problem of not having the necessary funds for large signings. Therefore, it is crucial to always keep an eye on your finances.

FIFA 19 Coach Career Start Menu

Keep an Eye on Your Budget

When you start your career, you should first choose a suitable club – unless you are already playing with your favorite club.

Thus, you should choose a high transfer budget: If you simply want to assemble the perfect team, it makes sense to select a club with a high transfer budget and low board expectations in terms of “finances”. Here, you enjoy almost financial freedom, but must achieve sporting success.

Conversely, smaller clubs require lower successes, but offer less money. Depending on the challenge you are looking for in your career, you should already pay attention to your decision here.

FIFA 19 Career High Starting Budget

Tournaments Generate Money

Usually, you want to dive straight into the competition, but it’s better to hold off on the league for a moment. You should not miss out on the tournaments.

Therefore, you should participate in preparation tournaments: Even though preparation tournaments can be annoying, they can significantly enhance your transfer budget. Especially against prestigious opponents, you can expect high revenues – particularly if you win the tournaments. However, with higher opponent levels, the risk of being eliminated also increases.

On the field, you can already test out initial formations, players, and talents. And who knows: maybe you’ll even find players from the opponent that would fit well in your team.

FIFA 19 Career Preparation Tournament

Utilize the Transfer Market

Which players you should buy and sell: If you start with a top club, the chances are good that you already have players in your ranks that you can sell profitably.

  • Older players who don’t have much improvement potential are good candidates.
  • Talented players can bring in a lot of money – even if their rating is not that high yet.

Check the potential of the talents: Consider whether you can sell a talented player at a much higher price later or even better keep them in your squad. After all, some talents can become so strong that you cannot replace them at all. A list of the best talents and their potential can be found here:

More on the topic
FIFA 19 Talents – Best & Cheap Players with Potential in Career
von Tom Rothstein

This is how you deal with young talents: On the other hand, as a smaller club, you should focus on acquiring and developing young and talented players. These can often be acquired cheaply and quickly become important cornerstones of your team. Often, top talents achieve very high ratings within a year. Then an early sale may be worthwhile.

FIFA 19 Career Money Selling Talents

Thus, a loan deal is also advisable: If you lack the funds to buy such a talent, you could speculate on a loan deal and save money initially. Many top clubs offer their young players on loan to give them playing time. This way, as a smaller club, you can acquire real reinforcements at a low cost – and maybe even agree on a permanent transfer after the loan ends.

FIFA 19 Career Loan Deal

Pay attention to expiring contracts: Saving money in FIFA 19 Career Mode means making money. Therefore, you should focus on deploying your money profitably in the transfer market. Players whose contracts are about to expire offer an especially good value for money. In winter, you may already start negotiations with players whose contracts expire in summer.

The advantage of expiring contracts: These players do not cost a hefty transfer fee. Although you may only get them half a year later, with a bit of foresight, you can save a lot of money here.

This is how you find players with expiring contracts: Set up a scouting assignment for players whose contract is at 0 – 1 years.

FIFA 19 Free Transfer Players

The Transfer and Wage Budget

You want to acquire a player badly, but you’re missing the million for the transfer? Check whether you can shift your money in the “Club” menu under “Finances” and “Budget” to have enough for the deal.

This is how to shift the budget profitably: Every euro you add to the transfer budget is taken from your wage budget. It may happen that you can afford the transfer fee, but not the actual contract with the player.

Here, too, it is important to manage wisely: Don’t put all money into the transfer budget to buy the best players immediately. Think long-term instead and acquire big stars over several seasons.

If suddenly there is no wage budget available because you have put everything into transfer fees, you will no longer be able to meet the wage demands of existing players. And they may leave you in the next transfer window.

FIFA 19 Career Budget Allocation

This is almost a money cheat for your career

It may be a bit of cheating, but if you just want to have a little fun with the career transfer market, the financial injection is the easiest way to earn money – or rather, to get it for free.

Here are the requirements for the financial injection: If you’ve been with FIFA for a while, you likely have enough FCC points unlocked in the EAS FC catalog to afford the financial injection. You need level 35 for that. You earn FCC points by completing multiple tasks in FIFA and playing matches. FCC points are also carried over from older FIFA games.

This is how to find the financial injection: If you select this option from the catalog menu (open by pressing the right stick in the main menu), a wealthy investor takes care of your club and gifts you a lot of money. Now nothing stands in the way of your dream team – and probably also the victory in the league, the cup, and in the Champions League.

FIFA 19 Career Financial Injection EAS FC

Hopefully, you will be able to start your Career Mode well with these tips. If you prefer to be in FIFA Ultimate Team, you can find some starting tips here:

The playground in Fortnite needs this one option to be perfect

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the training mode “Creative” has received an update. You can now adjust various parameters. This is well-received, but players want even more customization options. Most importantly, they want old weapons back.

What is Creative? Creative is a kind of training sandbox mode for Fortnite. There, you can do whatever you want for 45 minutes. Alone or with up to four teammates.

There are respawns, plenty of loot, and much more resources to gather than usual. Therefore, players have already built the craziest creations and even created their own mini-games just for Creative.

fortnite-tisch-nachbau

A new update is now coming that offers you even more options for Creative.

New Creative with Custom Parameters

This is what the new Creative brings: With the update of Creative, you now have the choice: You can play as usual. Or you set your own rules for the round using the “Custom Options” button. These options were once in the game, but were temporarily removed due to bugs.

Now the options are back and include:

  • Shields are automatically full or half-full.
  • You have full health or less.
  • Your items will drop when you die, or not.
  • There is fall damage or none.
  • The gravity is normal, low, or very low.
  • Should there be a day/night cycle in the gameplay, or should it always be day or night,
  • Constant display of player names and positions, only in a team, or not at all.
fn - spielwiese-optionen

More fun thanks to options: With these parameters, you can do all sorts of fun new things in Creative. This includes absurd bounce houses with minimal gravity or epic shootouts with full shields.

fn - spielwiese-optionen 01

And players who constantly fall from somewhere will surely appreciate the option to disable fall damage.

Fans Want Even More Options and One in Particular

The new options are well-received by Fortnite fans. However, there are still some wishes that fans are requesting as additional customization options:

  • Alternative spawn options
  • Direct fall instead of gliding
  • Limited weapon selection, for example, only sniper rifles or only shotguns
  • Adjustable time limit for when the storm arrives

Players Want All Weapons: The most cherished wish of the community, however, is an option that ALL weapons that have ever existed in the game can appear in Creative.

So also and especially the weapons that Epic has removed from the game in the last 12 months. Among them especially the Drum Gun or even the legendary laser rifle Zapotron from Season 1.

Fortnite-risse-orte-02

Whether Epic will comply with this is still unclear. But it wouldn’t be the first time that the developers implement a wish from the community. That’s why there is now an option to thank the bus driver in the game.

BioWare freut es, dass Fans bei Anthem nicht nur über die Story reden

Developer BioWare is primarily known for its large story-driven role-playing games. In the shared-world shooter Anthem, not only the story matters for fans, but apparently also the gameplay. BioWare finds this “refreshing.”

Previously: Anthem is a balancing act between multiplayer and story. BioWare has emphasized this repeatedly in the past. The developer is responsible for well-known titles like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur’s Gate, whose main feature is the story and potential decisions that can be made.

In the lead-up to these titles, fans mainly focused their questions on plot and story details, while gameplay often took a backseat. This seems to be different with Anthem. And BioWare seems to appreciate that.

anthem-javelin

For a change, it’s about gameplay – BioWare likes that

At BioWare, it seems they are currently enjoying the fact that the questions about Anthem revolve not only around the potential story and characters.

According to Creative Director Jonathan Warner, other aspects are now more interesting and they are pleased to talk about them.

It’s very refreshing and invigorating. Normally, when we talk about Mass Effect or Dragon Age, people are absolutely focused on the plot, […] when people talk about Anthem, they talk about flying, fighting monsters, or the gear, the Javelins, and for us, it’s a great opportunity to put gameplay first.

What does this mean for the story? Telling stories and creating a believable world is still important for BioWare and will also play a role in Anthem.

There will still be strong characters, and everyone is the hero of their own story.

Anthem armor

Anthem’s story is still a constant topic

Although BioWare clearly enjoys discussing other topics, the story is still frequently addressed.

Even if fans want to discuss gameplay, it is clear that BioWare also wants to bring fans from the RPG era into the online future.

In WoW, you can now more easily get more loot from dungeons

In World of Warcraft obtaining gear has become easier. You now receive more loot in higher-level Mythic+ dungeons due to a change.

Undocumented change brings more loot: Blizzard has implemented an undocumented patch on the live servers that increases loot in Mythic+ dungeons. With this change, you will receive more loot upon completing dungeons of level +11 or higher.

WoW_Battle_for_Azeroth_Freehold_02

How to get more loot from Mythic+

The chance keeps increasing: The hotfix introduced a new mechanic for loot in Mythic+ dungeons for BfA. The more challenging the dungeon you complete, the more loot you will receive:

  • Each level above +10 increases the chance for an additional piece of loot by 40%.
  • A dungeon of level +13 guarantees another piece of loot, while +15 even offers two additional pieces.
  • The extra loot stacks with bonus loot that you receive for completing the dungeon within the time.

How to prepare for the new raid Uldir and Mythic+ in WoW
von Benedict Grothaus

If you complete a level 15 dungeon within the time, you can expect a total of five loot pieces (two for the dungeon, two from the new mechanic, and one for the time).

Keep in mind that the number reflects the possible loot for the group, not for each player. Therefore, the group receives a total of five pieces, not individually.

WoW bfa boralus screenshot

Get to higher keystones faster: According to wowhead, you currently have the possibility to receive a higher keystone than the one you got from your weekly chest. You just need to discard your current keystone before starting a dungeon.

If you complete a Mythic+ dungeon without a keystone in your possession, you will receive a new keystone in the loot chest. This keystone will be one level below the current dungeon or your weekly keystone, depending on which is higher.

WoW_BattleForAzeroth_Underrot Titel DPS Nelf and Orc

Which dungeon you receive is random. However, this way you can easily obtain higher keystones for the entire group. This is especially useful for fixed Mythic+ groups.

It is unclear whether this change is intentional or not. In WoW: Legion, keystones could not be deleted. Therefore, it may be fixed when the next Mythic+ season starts.

Worlds 2018 in LoL have filtered out 4 exotics with “monster stats”

The Worlds 2018 in League of Legends have now begun. The “Play-In” stage has already claimed its first victims. It affects 4 teams from what are considered exotic countries for LoL. They have “monster stats,” but stand little chance against the big names.

The interesting part about the WildCard Games: In the Worlds 2018, “Play-In” stages are occurring. Here, the third-placed teams from strong regions and the strongest from “weak” LoL regions can qualify for the main round.

LoL Graves Title

The Exotics are all monsters – in terms of stats

The interesting thing here is that teams emerge that are hardly known because they play in exotic leagues.

Pro player Reapered from the US team “Cloud 9” said, “If you only look at their stats, they are all monsters. They have a 90% win rate in their region and strong KDA. When you look at the stats, they are much better than us.

Last year I was really scared, but it is doable and it is also fun.”

And indeed it was doable for Cloud 9.

This has already happened at the LoL Worlds 2018: The first 4 days of the LoL Worlds have now been played and 4 teams have already been eliminated. The dream of the LoL Worlds 2018 is over for these teams:

  • the Dire Wolves from Australia
  • Ascension Gaming from Thailand
  • KaBuM! eSports from Brazil
  • and Kaos Latin Games from Puerto Rico

A highlight from the preliminary round: The triple kill by G2 eSports.

Fan favorites missing from the Worlds 2018 in League of Legends: These 4 exotics at least had the chance to shine in the Worlds. Many other big teams are missing completely:

lol-solomid

The Play-In Knockout Games begin

What happens next? In the “Play-In Knockout” stage, 8 teams will now compete against each other who have survived the first selection process.

The 8 teams will face off in knockout matches to select the 4 teams that will make it to the main round.

Here, especially the “third-placed” teams from the major regions are favored:

  • Cloud 9 from the USA went through the preliminary round with 4:0 – they will play against “Gambit eSports” from Russia
  • The Spanish team “G2 eSports” will face “Infinity eSports” from Costa Rica
  • Edward Gaming (China) will confront “DetonatioN FocusMe”, the champs from Japan
  • And G-Rex from Hong Kong will compete against the Turkish team “SuperMassive eSports”, which is currently called “Bahçeşehir SuperMassive” for sponsorship reasons

MyMMO asks: How do you determine the names of your characters in MMOs?

The name of the playable character in an MMO is a serious matter for many players. There are as many different names as there are grains of sand on the beach. We want to know how you approach naming your characters.

Do you stick to one name? There are countless different ways to choose a name. Some people prefer to always use the same name because it helps them build a certain identity and achieve recognition.

final fantasy xiv random name

Lore names? Others prefer to take a name that fits the world of the respective MMO they are in, to enhance their role-playing experience. Some MMORPGs also provide their players with examples of names typical for certain races, so players can stay close to the lore.

Randomly generated: Nowadays, there are also options to have a name generated automatically. In the game or on special pages, names are randomly scrambled from a database of many fantasy names.

quantic foundry name generator

Puns and other jokes: Fun names are also very popular among gamers. In Final Fantasy XIV I’ve seen examples like “KimJong Heals” or a Dragoon named “Critney Spears”. Such names have a charm that sticks with fellow players.

This is what Irie says: I am rather conservative when it comes to naming. Whether the name fits the race I chose to play is relatively unimportant to me. It just has to please me, not be too long, and roll off the tongue easily.

Normally, I always have a small list of first and last names that have stuck with me throughout my PnP and MMORPG careers. I then combine them in various ways. Admittedly, some of them are shamelessly taken from Witcher and Shadowrun.

Pokémon GO: Rare exclamation point Unown now spawning in Erfurt

Niantic, the creators of Pokémon GO, are an official partner of the MAG in Erfurt. This gives players in Germany the opportunity to catch new Icognito, which are often available in Erfurt.

What is the MAG? The MAG is an anime and animation convention in Erfurt. It takes place from October 5th to 7th at the city’s exhibition center.

What do Pokémon GO players get from the fair? Niantic has its own booth at the fair. The team has come up with many things for players for the fair days.

4 forms of Icognito to catch

When Niantic staff are guests at a fair, it is now normal for them to bring along Icognito forms. Icognito are the Pokémon that look like letters or punctuation marks. Outside of an event, this Pokémon is among the rarest in the entire game. Everything about the locations of Icognito in Pokémon GO can be found here

Rare Icognito form: This is now also the case in Erfurt. The forms M, A, G and ! can be caught all over the exhibition grounds. They appear in Erfurt and the surrounding area. Particularly, the Icognito that looks like an exclamation mark is extremely rare.

What is Legends of Aria? The MMORPG evolved from the sandbox online game Shards Online, but has changed significantly over the years.

  • You are exploring the vast fantasy world of Celador.
  • Here you determine which role you want to take based on skills. You can be a warrior, a mage, or just a craftsman. Those who wish can run a tavern or manage a business.
  • Exploring the world plays a major role. You can freely explore the open areas and find treasures or fight monsters.
  • Group play is essential. In a party or even a guild, you progress much better.
  • PvP is important but mostly takes place in specific areas. In other areas, you are protected.
  • You can even manage entire towns.
  • Legends of Aria is developed by veterans who previously worked on Ultima Online. Accordingly, the MMORPG also conveys the atmosphere of the classic.

When does the online game start? The developers have now announced that the Early Access phase starts on December 4th via Steam. Through the official website, it is possible to purchase founder packages, which give you a head start, for example.

Mods and a Future for Ultima Online

What makes Legends of Aria special? There are several standout features.

  • Players can purchase the ability to create their own worlds if they wish. They design these according to personal preferences and set their own rules. One world might be geared towards PvE while another is focused on PvP. Other players can then visit these worlds.
  • Players can manage their own servers where they set their own rules.
  • Legends of Aria can be completely “modded” and is marketed as a “moddable MMORPG.” Players can create their own MMORPGs if they choose.
  • With Celador, the game also has an official world that is planned to be continuously expanded.

Why are Ultima Online fans so excited about the MMO? Legends of Aria contains many gameplay elements that defined Ultima Online.

  • A massive sandbox world
  • Open PvP
  • A skill-based character system
  • Group play
  • Many freedoms regarding your own possibilities in the game

In addition, the option to create your own worlds with your own rules gives the UO community the opportunity to create a kind of Ultima Online 2. And that is currently planned as well. Under the name “Legends of Ultima,” the fantasy world Britannia is being recreated as closely to the original as possible. The developers then aim to launch a new Ultima Online on their own server.
