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

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

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

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 5 minutes

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.

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

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

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

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 2 minutes

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

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

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.

You get more than just gear in dungeons: This is how you get the secret pet from Tol Dagor.

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

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

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?

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

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.

But now it’s your turn: What do you pay attention to when choosing your character’s name? Should it be lore-friendly or sound funny? Or are you one of the countless Narutos and Sephiroths that can be found in every MMORPG? Let us know!

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.

  • 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.

Destiny 2 cleverly explains the 3-week cycle of the endgame zone

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

Just over a month has passed since the Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken was released and the curse in the Dreaming City has begun anew. Unlike the usual Weekly Reset, the city’s cycle is explained through the story.

The three-week cycle of the Dreaming City has been reset this week. The city now looks as it did before the first victory against the final boss of the raid “Last Wish”. Unlike the Weekly Reset, however, the repetition of tasks in the Dreaming City is incorporated into the Forsaken story.

Reset has strange effects

What is going on with the Dreaming City? The Dreaming City of the Awoken is in a three-week cycle. Each week, the city’s corruption by the Taken increases, only to recede again and start anew.

What effects does the reset have? The city now looks as it did at the beginning – before the curse was pronounced. A beautiful fantasy world, where the Taken only appear sporadically.

destiny-2-dreaming-city-panorama

The greatest effect of the reset, however, is on the NPCs: Petra Venj is back on the beach, but remembers that we fought the Taken and the city now looks like it did three weeks ago.

Characters in missions comment that they knew exactly what would happen. However, they couldn’t act differently than they did three weeks ago.

Reset as part of the story

How cleverly is the cycle explained? Bungie has incorporated the reset into the main story this time. If you are not done with Forsaken yet or do not want to learn about the endgame, you should not read any further!

The story of the Dreaming City is closely intertwined with the lore. In short, here’s what happened:

Riven was kept by Mara Sov as a “pet” in the Dreaming City. Before the Guardians could defeat Oryx in the Destiny 1 expansion The Taken King, he sneaked into the city of the Awoken and corrupted Riven.

Destiny grimoire Oryx

After Oryx’s death, his sister Savathûn took control of Riven. In exchange for her freedom – death by the Guardians – Riven fulfilled one last wish and cursed the Dreaming City.

What’s the deal with the curse and the cycle? Savathûn, like all members of the Hive, follows the religious principle of Sword Logic. The Sword Logic adheres to the law of the strongest, but for the Hive, it’s an extreme: The Hive eliminate those who cannot defend themselves and feed on their subordinates.

Savathûn, the Deceiver, is now using the curse of the city to strengthen herself: In the three weeks, her Taken either take over the Dreaming City, leading to death and destruction, or the Guardians fight the Taken, also leading to death and destruction. No matter what we do, Savathûn will always grow stronger.

destiny-2-dreaming-city-week-3

By the way, the three-week cycle was conceived by Savathûn’s daughter Dûl Incaru together with the Vex Axis Mind Quria. Quria was manifested by the Vex to study Oryx but was corrupted by the King of the Taken.

Players assume that Dûl Incaru must be defeated to break the curse and free the Dreaming City.

What do you think of the story? Do you like that the reset of the city was incorporated into the background story?

Fortnite: The long-awaited skin Dark Bomber is now in the shop

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the long-awaited and teased outfit “Dark Bomber” has finally appeared. The “Dark Bomber” is the “Evil Version” of the cheerful Bright Bomber and, contrary to all assumptions, a real bargain.

Who or what is a “Dark Bomber”? Behind this strange name lies not a new stealth bomber from the Air Force, but rather the “evil version” of the outfit “Bright Bomber” (Brite Bomber).

And what is the “Bright Bomber”? The Bright Bomber is one of the iconic skins from Fortnite and features a cheerful young woman with colorful hair and a rainbow-colored outfit. She wields a fun llama head as a pickaxe and is always in a good mood, even when she is blasting you away.

Fortnite-Farben

In the bonus pictures for the Road Trip Challenge from Season 5, the cheerful young lady was seen in every picture, having fun alongside the Fox Head Guy Rift.

From Color to Darkness

The evil clone of the good Bomber: The Dark Bomber, however, is the evil twin sister of the Bright Bomber. The Dark Bomber first appeared in the final image of Season 5, where the Bright Bomber touched the purple cube. Instead of her reflection, viewers saw the sinisterly grinning Dark Bomber as a sort of evil clone in the cube.

Fortnite-Böse-Farbbomberin

Theories about the Dark Bomber: Fans speculated back then that the “Evil Bright Bomber” would become a new skin. They considered various options, including a variant of the good Bomber that could be unlocked in special challenges. Perhaps even for Halloween and then for several well-known skins.

In the end, nothing came of it; the “Dark Bomber” is simply another skin from the shop.

Dark Bomber in the Shop – Cheaper than Expected

fn shop - 05-10-2018

Rare instead of Legendary: The disappointment that the Dark Bomber is not tied to a cool event may be somewhat mitigated when considering her price.

Because just like her good twin sister, the Dark Bomber is merely a skin of the “Rare” quality level. Therefore, it costs “only” 1,200 V-Bucks, which is about 12 Euros.

fn - finsterbomberin-komplett

Epic mostly sells new skins, especially elaborate ones like the Dark Bomber, for at least 15, if not 20 Euros!

Is there more? Indeed, because Epic has granted the Dark Bomber a whole set of items:

  • Whoever buys the skin gets a matching backpack. It looks like an evil version of the backpack of the Bright Bomber.
  • The Dark Bomber can get a matching pickaxe called “Thunderhoof” for another 1,200 V-Bucks. It is an evil version of the llama head that the Bright Bomber swings.
  • If they still want, they can get the relatively boring glider “Glyph of Darkness” to complete the set. The glider is just a generic glider with dark glyphs on it. It costs 500 V-Bucks (5 Euros).

Will there be more “Evil Skins”? Officially, we don’t know anything, but one can assume that at least the “Color Gunner”, the male version of the Bright Bomber, will get an evil twin. He will likely be called “Dark Gunner” in keeping with tradition.

Fortnite-Brite-Gunner
Will the Color Gunner also be evil?

What do you think of the Dark Bomber? Will you buy her?

It looks like you might soon be able to change your PSN name

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

There are currently hot rumors that Sony may soon allow its users to change their PSN IDs.

If journalist Jason Schreier is to be believed, one of the biggest changes for PSN users could be on the horizon.

PSN names cannot be changed: Since the PlayStation Network started in 2006, many PlayStation users have wondered why it is not possible to change their PSN name after creation. Although this feature has been at the top of users’ wish lists for years, Sony has not yet granted this wish, much to the dismay of many.

The problem: As a result, many players are stuck with a name they chose possibly 12 years ago, which they may now find inappropriate, embarrassing, or just plain bad.

Sony’s biggest competitor is ahead: In contrast, competitors Microsoft allows users to change their online name on Xbox Live as often as they like – the first time for free, then for a fee that varies by region (around $8 in the USA).

PlayStation Now Title

Game developers report that they are preparing for changes to PSN names

In his latest article, Jason Schreier reports that several developers of multiplayer games have expressed to Kotaku that they are preparing for upcoming changes to PSN names – 12 years after the service started!

von Patrick Freese

Developers report about the feature: Three different people from three different development studios said that they have been working in recent months to fix bugs, revise settings, and ensure that their games are compatible with Sony’s plans. The sources wanted to remain anonymous, as they are not allowed to discuss this with the press.

A fourth person, who works for a game studio, shared a photo from an internal Sony document showing the option “Edit Username” on a PSN profile. The document is said to be a guide for changing the user name in the PlayStation Network (PSN), according to the source.

psn_playstation_network-600x337

When can we expect this feature? It is not known when exactly this feature will be released. However, the game developers emphasized that it could be a time-consuming process to retroactively adapt old multiplayer titles due to technical reasons. Sony itself has not yet responded to a request from Kotaku.

A rough indication might be the statement of a high-ranking Sony official. When Sony boss Shawn Layden was asked about possible changes to PSN names at the last PlayStation Experience conference (PSX) in December 2017, he replied, “You won’t have to ask me this question at the next PSX anymore.”

This comment presumably aimed to suggest that this feature should be introduced by December 2018. However, two weeks ago, Sony announced that there would be no PlayStation Experience this year, which may have consequently extended the timeline for the release.

By the way: The name change would not be the first change that Sony would implement after many years of resistance. Recently, Sony also finally conceded on crossplay: Crossplay between PS4 and Xbox One is coming to Fortnite

FIFA 19: EA worried due to rape allegation against Ronaldo

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Allegations of rape have been made against football star Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo is the cover star of FIFA 19. Publisher EA expresses concern.

What are the allegations? In 2009, Kathryn Mayorga (now 34) made allegations against Ronaldo. She claims that the footballer forced her to have sex in a hotel in Las Vegas.

This triggered an investigation in 2009 after the woman reported it to the Las Vegas police. The report was filed the day after the alleged incident. There was then a medical examination using a so-called “Rape Kit.”

Allegedly, a financial settlement was reached to “resolve” the matter.

However, Mayorga now says she wants to go public as part of the #MeToo movement. Her lawyers claim that Ronaldo did not uphold his part of the agreement.

It is said that Ronaldo’s high-profile lawyers pressured Mayorga to the extent that she suffered emotional damage.

What the settlement was about: According to DER SPIEGEL, the settlement was about a sum of $375,000.

What Ronaldo says about the allegations: Ronaldo vehemently denies these allegations. He considers rape a vile crime that goes against everything he stands for. He would like to clear his name but refuses to participate in the media spectacle.

This is Ronaldo’s role in FIFA 19: Ronaldo is the cover star of FIFA 19 and also plays a central role in the game:

Ronaldo is also featured in the trailer

This is what EA says: EA says that they have seen the “disturbing reports” about the allegations against Ronaldo. They are closely monitoring the situation. Because they expect cover athletes and ambassadors of the game to behave in a manner consistent with EA’s values.

The “#MeToo” movement has brought many issues in gaming to light in recent months:

Today starts the Psychic event in Pokémon GO with new Shinys

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Niantic announced the Psychic Spectacle as a new event in Pokémon GO on Thursday evening. In this event, players will have the opportunity to catch more Psychic Pokémon.

10 days duration: The new event starts today, October 5th, at 10:00 PM German time. The event will end on October 14th at 10:00 PM German time.

Increased Psychic Spawns: Niantic mentions in their announcement that there will be increased spawns of Psychic Pokémon, including Abra, Trasla, and Puppance.

These bonuses will be received – Shiny Traumato

  • Psychic Pokémon appear more frequently in the wild
  • New field research related to Psychic Pokémon
  • Shiny Traumato and Hypno will appear in the game for the first time
Shiny Traumato Pokémon GO
Shiny Hypno Pokémon GO

Psychic Raid Bosses: The recently released new Raid Bosses in October are also primarily Psychic-type. These fit perfectly with the announced event. Especially Traumato, which was newly added as a Level 1 raid, makes sense in combination with the event and as a Shiny form. In this raid, players now have the chance to encounter a shiny Traumato.

How to defeat the new 3-star Psychic Raid Bosses solo can be found here.

What players are hoping for

Additional bonuses: On Twitter, many players are hoping for additional bonuses in the event. Twitter user “LadyHardcore” hopes for a double XP event.

https://twitter.com/LadyHardcore/status/1047959255247028224

Spawns of Trasla and Tanhel: On Reddit, the user “toxicbox” demands increased spawns of Trasla and Tanhel. The evolutions of these two Pokémon are among the best Psychic Pokémon in the game. They have been rarely found in the wild so far. Niantic mentioned in their announcement the increased occurrence of Trasla, but has not mentioned Tanhel yet.

The Community Day in October will be about Tanhel. More information can be found here.

So far, there is no more information about the “Psychic Spectacle” event. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for Pokémon GO to not miss any news.

Update: Data miner Chrales has already found new field research tasks. You will need to catch a certain number of Abra or Traumato, or a certain number of Psychic Pokémon. The exact number and what the rewards are is not known.

Soon it will be easier to obtain the Infamy quest in Destiny 2

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

Bungie responds to fan criticism and plans to increase the spawn rate of the Gambit boss for the Destiny 2 service violation quest soon.

Have you also invested a lot of time grinding for the service violation quest and still haven’t seen the Ascendant Primeval? That is set to change soon.

Spawn rate for the Ascendant Primeval in Gambit is set to be buffed

Over the past week, Bungie has faced a lot of criticism for the spawn rate of the Ascendant Servitor in Gambit. Many Guardians are frustrated.

possessed servitor

The problem: Players can only obtain the quest for the exotic hand cannon service violation by defeating this Gambit boss. However, even after well over 100 Gambit matches and significant time investment, numerous players have not even seen this Primeval, let alone defeated it. Large parts of the community feel that its spawn rate is far too low.

The solution: The developers have made some adjustments. In the third week of the curse cycle – that is, when the curse is at its strongest – the Ascendant Primeval will appear in Gambit matches with almost the same frequency as any other Primeval. The chances of getting the service violation quest will be significantly increased.

The spawn probability during the remaining two weeks will also be increased. However, the likelihood of encountering the Servitor will still be higher during the third week.

destiny-2-malfeasance-quest

By the way: As the Ascendant spawn rate increases significantly, the drop rate of the ship and the Sparrow that can drop from this boss will also be adjusted. These items will no longer be guaranteed in boss kills after earning the quest.

When will the change come? The changes are set to be included in Update 2.0.5, which is scheduled for October 30, 2018. However, Bungie emphasized that if issues arise during development, these adjustments may also be delayed.

Swamp Monster Doomfist

Doomfist transforms with his Swamp Monster skin into a menacing fishman with gills, fins, and jewelry made of shells. His weapon, the Doomfist, is adorned with grotesque spikes, reminiscent of deep-sea crabs.

As a special detail, the eyes of Swamp Monster Doomfist are pitch black and pupil-less.

Banshee Moira

In keeping with her Irish heritage, the healer Moira has a skin that corresponds to the legends of her homeland. Banshees are ghostly women from the fairy realm in Irish folklore who herald a coming death.

Banshee Moira wears jewelry made of bones, rune-embellished clothing, and is surrounded by a creepy, purple light. The eyes of the Banshee are white in contrast to those of Doomfist and also pupil-less.

We were partly right!

From a leak, we at Mein-MMO had already speculated about which heroes might receive new skins for Halloween. Doomfist was one of them, although we suspected a demon for him (the sign in the upper right).

For Moira, we did not foresee a skin. The sign for her skin (upper middle) was assigned to the “Spider Queen” and we speculated a skin for Widowmaker or Brigitte.

With the “Banshee” skin, it may already be clarified what was hidden behind the working title “Ghost”. For your information, four skins were already leaked by name:

  • Bride

The new offer boxes in Pokémon GO – Is it worth buying?

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

Niantic has introduced new offers in the shop of Pokémon GO along with the new field research. We will show you what the boxes contain and whether a purchase is worthwhile.

In Pokémon GO, you will now find new special, super, and hyper boxes. The packages always contain multiple shop items. These can be purchased, providing savings compared to buying the individual items.

We will now show you which items are in each box and how much you can save.

We reveal here which field researches you can look forward to in October.

The new offers in Pokémon GO

This is how the calculation was made: To arrive at the savings, it was calculated how much, for instance, a single lucky egg costs in an 8-pack. This price was then compared to the box price. Therefore, the individual price of the item from the shop was not taken.

Special Box

Pokémon GO Bronze Box
  • Contents: 2x Incubator, 2x Lucky Egg, 2x Raid Pass, 1x Lure Module
  • Price: 480 Coins
  • Savings: 230 Coins (about 32%)
  • Who is this box suitable for?: The box is suitable for players who want a bit of everything. Those who mainly want Raid Passes will find it cheaper to buy these individually.

Super Box

Pokémon GO Silver Box
  • Contents: 3x Super Incubator, 6x Raid Pass, 3x Star Piece, 2x Lure Module
  • Price: 780 Coins
  • Savings: 777 Coins (about 50%)
  • Who is this box suitable for?: This box contains the most important items in the game. None of the items are real “bag fillers” like, for example, incense. The savings are also solid. Those who like to have a bit of everything but still don’t want to spend too much money will be well served by this box.

Pokémon GO: Level 40 – and now? Tips for motivation
von Noah Struthoff

Hyper Box

Pokémon GO Gold Box
  • Contents: 8x Incense, 10x Super Incubator, 10x Raid Pass, 8x Star Piece
  • Price: 1480 Coins
  • Savings: 2520 Coins (63%)
  • Who is this box suitable for?: The number of Super Incubators and Raid Passes is average in this box. Unfortunately, the incense makes this box unattractive. If lucky eggs or more Raid Passes were included instead, this box would be a real eye-catcher. Nevertheless, the savings are good, and if you currently have none of these items, you can’t go wrong with the purchase. Those who can wait for other boxes should be patient.

Conclusion of all boxes

The boxes are unfortunately disappointing this month. Of course, there are savings with each box, but one should not forget that shop boxes are not uncommon.

Previous boxes were better: The boxes from the last events were all better. This also gives hope that Niantic will introduce new boxes in the next event that promise better content.

Pokémon GO Pikachu Title Birthday

Buying is not wrong: If you’re thinking that you should completely avoid the boxes, you’re wrong. Each box offers a solid discount. The greatest discount, as always, is in the Hyper Box. However, the player has to pay the most for it. If you’re currently lacking items, you should definitely buy a box instead of buying the items individually.

If you have patience, you should wait for better offers that may be coming soon.

Since Monday, Deoxys has been the new EX-Raid Boss. Which counters you need, you can read here.

Fortnite: In week 2, the secret star is a banner, here you can find it

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is a bonus star in week 2 of Season 6 again. We will show you the secret location where you can find the star. But be careful, this week the star is a banner.

Once again, Epic has hidden a small hint in an image for Season 6 in Fortnite that is supposed to lead players to a special star. At least, that’s what players thought so far. Now it is clear that in week 2 of Season 6, it is again a banner that you will find.

Requirement for the banner: In order to find the banner, you first need to complete all challenges from week 2. The tasks from week 2 in Season 6 of Fortnite are listed here for you.

Throughout the season, more images will be released each week showing hints to new, hidden stars and banners.

What is it about? With these special images and hints, Epic refers to the story of the cowgirl and monster hunter Calamity.

Here you will find the secret star that is a banner

Here you should search: The tip for the search can be found in the following image. There you see the battle pass skin “Saddled”, who is currently playing with fireflies. In the foreground and background are evil werewolves lurking for their prey. The hint is given by the firefly on the far right. It illuminates the special spot of the image.

Fortnite Week 2 Season 6 Hint

What can you see? On the tree in the background, you can recognize a small drawing that represents a wagon. And as you probably already know, your journey now leads to Paradise Palms.

Where exactly? North of Paradise Palms, in the right curve, the wagon stands in a blocked area. Just walk to this spot and climb onto the wagon to find the banner.

Is there a video too? To help you see the exact spot where the banner is hidden, we will embed a video guide here for you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI7eg625eV8

Beware of campers: You are not the only ones who know the secret location of the banner. So watch out for other players who want to ambush you treasure hunters.

In your matches, you can now also find shadow stones in Fortnite again – but without bugs?
