The new update 6.01 brings new content to Fortnite on this Wednesday, October 3rd. Therefore, the servers of Fortnite: Battle Royale will be offline on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). Maintenance will bring a new patch. When are the servers down and when will Fortnite be playable again?
New Season 6 has started in Fortnite: Battle Royale:The new Season 6 has started and brings a new Battle Pass and all sorts of crazy stuff to Fortnite. And even though the new season is not even a week old, the first update 6.01 is already here.
Even holidays don’t stop updates: Those who wanted to enjoy a round of Fortnite today, on October 3rd, in the morning will have to wait for the time being. Because Epic is deploying a new patch for Fortnite, leading to server downtime.
Fortnite servers go offline – When will they be back online?
When does the server downtime start? Around 08:30 AM German time, the player search will be disabled. At 09:00 AM, the Fortnite servers will subsequently be taken offline. This is a whole hour earlier than usual in recent months. Those who usually play in the morning should be prepared for an earlier interruption.

When will the Fortnite servers be back online? With smaller updates, the servers are already back online after a few hours. Around 11-12 AM you should be able to log back in, provided nothing serious happens.
This is what update 6.01 brings for Fortnite: Battle Royale: Apart from a few vague statements on Reddit, there are actually no announcements for the Battle Royale mode this time. MrPopo mentions on Reddit at least that it is about slides. In addition, players are supposed to stay “frosty.”
Will the winter season kick off tomorrow? That seems illogical. After all, Halloween is still ahead of us. After the maintenance, we will know more.
What “Save the World” players can look forward to: If the current leaks are to be believed, the PvE mode of Fortnite will become richer with a new hammer. You can see what the hammer supposedly looks like in the following video:

Amazon has released new screenshots of New World. These show us how beautiful the graphics of the upcoming MMORPG look. This time, the focus is on idyllic landscapes.
What can be seen in the new images? While two weeks ago, mainly dark images of New World were released, this time we see a few brighter landscape images as a contrast.
The first image focuses on an old mill located in an open field. In the second, a small fishing hut can be seen by a lake in romantic moonlight. The third image features a large tree in a meadow as the central figure.
Images are part of a regular series. The screenshots were released during Screenshot Saturdays. Every Saturday, new images of the game are presented on the official Twitter account.
Last week, there were already three screenshots that we have also attached again. Here, too, the focus is on landscapes and not on outposts or battlefields.
All six images share the realistic and mature setting of the game. Although we find ourselves in a fictional world, everything is inspired by the time of colonization of America.
While some initial testers have already been invited, no specific information has been released. So we don’t know how many players are participating or how regularly alpha events will take place.
When will New World be released? There is also no new information about the release date so far. However, since Amazon is a company without significant financial pressure behind the game, the developers can take their time with the game.
Over the weekend (September 28 to 30, 2018), the EGX took place for the first time in Germany, which is considered the largest gaming fair in England. Together with MeinMMO, we were on-site for three days and would like to share our impressions with you.
The Gamescom in Cologne has been a well-known brand among gamers worldwide for years and is established as the largest gaming fair in the world. Suddenly, a new one is coming around the corner, the EGX in Berlin, imported from England and the gaming event of the year there.
Some of you have wished that we share our impression of the first EGX in Berlin 2018, including our reader CandyAndyD86. We are happy to fulfill that wish and tell you why the EGX is charmingly different.
The EGX is small and aimed at an adult audience
The EGX is significantly smaller than the Gamescom, which makes the fair feel more homely. It is possible to stroll around the fair with enough space around and look at various exhibitors and games at your leisure. This results in short waiting times, allowing for a more intensive engagement with the offerings.
What makes the EGX different from the Gamescom?
The EGX is for ages 18 and up: A younger audience is not welcome. This was also reflected in the selection of games shown. Highlights included Resident Evil 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
The tickets are limited: The Gamescom is now bursting at the seams: This year there were 370,000 visitors at the fair in Cologne. The EGX seems to want to avoid this and offers only limited tickets. The EGX in Berlin will not come close to these numbers.
Less “hype”: At the Gamescom, there are a lot of stage shows with competitions and it is loud. The EGX is the complete opposite; there is no real hype here, which is why the noise level is somewhat lower. The focus is clearly on the games that can be tested.
More panels and discussions: The discussions are also aimed at an adult audience. There are figures from the industry who philosophize about gaming and discuss topics like the market economy behind it or future developments.
By the way, we were also there with our streaming channel MAX; we participated in the discussions and talked here about a major MMORPG hope in the West. MAX is a community project of GameStar, GamePro, IGN, and MeinMMO.

This is what our team from MeinMMO says about the EGX
Dawid, Jürgen, Irie, and I, Leya, were on-site from our team. We were able to conduct a few interviews at the EGX and also test the games ourselves.
This is what Irie says: When I entered the fairgrounds on Friday, it quickly became clear which audience the EGX would appeal to more. The atmosphere was cozier, and visitors strolled slowly from one booth to another or relaxed while playing at the game stations.
People expecting a show like at the Gamescom will be disappointed at the EGX. Apart from little things like pins and lanyards here and there, there was not much to grab. This may change in the future, but I found this focus on the games themselves refreshing, even though I always enjoy the party atmosphere of the Gamescom.
This is what Jürgen says: My first impression at the EGX 2018 was: “Hmm, this is cozy.” Because I somehow expected a mini-version of the Gamescom. So loud, noisy, and crammed to the top. Just in less space.
What I ended up getting was a very family-friendly and nice fair. It was easy to find places to play everywhere and talk to the people from the booths. At no point did I feel rushed or stressed.
And then there were some of you readers with whom I had one or the other nice conversation. For me, the fair was a nice change from the usual hustle.
This is what Dawid says: From an organizational perspective, the EGX was still quite a chaos, but that goes with such an experiment and such a small team that takes care of the fair. Until a few hours before the fair began, we thought the EGX would not be ready. There was just so much unresolved and a big construction site! We even had a situation where we were still actively streaming, and out of nowhere, someone came who just wanted to pull the power cable. “The day is over now,” it was said.
Personally, I didn’t get to see much of the fair itself because I was leading the MAX team, but I only heard positive things: Direct, personal, fast. In summary, it can best be summarized: If the Gamescom is a festival, then the EGX is a private concert. As a visitor, I would have preferred the EGX. If the organization starts more early next year and more advertising is done for the fair, it can become a really attractive alternative to the Gamescom. What we heard was that the fair in Berlin was simply too surprising for many gaming publishers.
This is what I, Leya, say: The EGX will probably not be a direct competitor to the Gamescom. The two fairs differ too much from each other. The EGX consciously chooses the small, personal, and the conversation. The Gamescom is loud, full of life, and somewhat more commercial. Thus, both fairs complement each other very well.
I like the calm and family atmosphere of the EGX, but it could benefit from more life. The fair hall still has room for more exhibitors, game stations, and stages for interesting discussions. So far, it’s hardly worth getting a day ticket for the EGX. I hope that in the future, the three days will be worthwhile for this fair.
The EGX is also coming to Berlin in 2019
Already on Saturday of the fair, it was announced that the EGX is also coming back to Berlin next year. The visit is worthwhile if you just want to stroll comfortably through the halls and test a few games. You can quickly engage in conversation with other players and also with the people at the booths.
We from MeinMMO certainly enjoyed the first EGX and we are curious to see where the fair will develop.
The new MMORPG Crowfall is set to receive an entirely new PvE system. Instead of showcasing dungeons and raids like classic MMORPGs, Crowfall sends you into an open world filled with dangers and monsters.
Back to the “Old School MMO”: Creative Director J. Todd Coleman spoke with MMORPG.com about the development of Crowfall in the coming weeks. He explained that Crowfall will not have deep instances. Dangerous monsters will primarily inhabit the open world.
In Crowfall, monsters band together into groups
Monsters occupy areas: Crowfall features many creatures in its world that are rarely found in other MMORPGs. With some animal races as an option, a few of these creatures can even be played.
More importantly, creatures according to MMORPG.com are set to get their own territories in Crowfall. Monsters in Crowfall can occupy areas that thematically adapt to them and become a persistent threat to players.
A spider queen might decide to settle in a part of the forest and send her servants to occupy it. Players of any faction can fight over the resources of the area, with the constant threat posed by the spiders.Monsters come in groups – including bosses: Some types of monsters are even supposed to band together into proper groups that roam the land and attack players. These include:
Spiders
Wolves
and even zombies
These creatures move and fight in groups and can even have stronger boss opponents, such as giants or wyverns.
Other types of enemies that are somewhat smarter form so-called “War Camps.” Individual tribes, mercenaries, or even entire regiments are supposed to roam and pillage the world.
Coleman again draws a comparison to Game of Thrones: The “War Camps” are a new layer of the game, where players confront them, while at any time, another group could attack from anywhere.
The “Hunger” makes monsters stronger: An important mechanic in Crowfall is the “Hunger”, which can infest land areas and can appear in the deepest winter. Creatures that inhabit areas infested by Hunger become infected.
At night, infected creatures are significantly stronger and a much greater threat to players. However, the infection is also supposed to affect wandering monsters so strongly that they die during the day.
Monsters are also supposed to behave like players. Equipped with six to eight abilities, they can use and chain skills like players. All of this is intended to give Crowfall a more dynamic, exciting combat experience.
If you want to infuse and enhance your gear, you must use masterwork cores (enhancement cores). Unfortunately, there are currently no activities in Destiny 2 that reliably give out masterwork cores as rewards. However, a clever Redditor has likely found the best way to farm these rare cores.
No masterwork cores, no infusion: If you want to raise your beloved gear to a new power level, you will often need to invest masterwork cores. These have now been renamed to enhancement cores.
However, they are extremely rare. If you want to acquire the coveted resource in a normal way, you have to spend legendary shards at Spider in the Tangled Shore.
This can be quite expensive: Because with each purchased masterwork core, the price doubles. For 5 masterwork cores, you have to spend 310 legendary shards – a steep price.
Needed for the farming method: Spider
The Redditor Bullmoogle has now shown that there is a much cheaper way. All you need for this is a supply of legendary shards (at least 200-500).
Note: The method is tedious, I won’t hide that from you. You will spend a lot of time on loading screens and bouncing between Tangled Shore, Mercury, and the Tower. You won’t even have to fire a weapon (or will you?).
As previously mentioned, you will need to regularly visit Spider in the Tangled Shore, Brother Vance on Mercury, and the Cryptarch in the Tower. Here’s how the trick works in detail:
Step 1: Spend all your legendary shards at Spider in the Tangled Shore for Simulation Seeds. All of them? Yes, all! You receive these in stacks of 5 for one legendary shard each. Do not exchange the Simulation Seeds for Glimmer; that won’t work.
Step 2: Fly with your Simulation Seeds to Brother Vance on Mercury and exchange them for reward packages. Dismantle everything he gives you.
Step 3: Fly to the Tower and dismantle all the shaders from Brother Vance at the Cryptarch. This will give you back some of your legendary shards.
Step 4: Go to the gunsmith and exchange the materials you got from dismantling the weapons. Dismantle everything you don’t need.
Repeat steps 1-4 as long as your Netflix series is running or your food is on the stove.
So what does all this bring? The Redditor Bullmoogle obtained 69 masterwork cores in exchange for about 500 legendary shards. Thus, one masterwork core costs only 7 legendary shards. You can’t get the resource cheaper anywhere else right now.
By dismantling the shaders and gear, you get back about 65-70% of your invested legendary shards. As a bonus, you also get masterwork cores, mod components, and the occasional exotic item might pop up.
This method does not work with him: Devrim Kay
Why does it have to be Simulation Seeds and Brother Vance? In fact, the trick also works with the planet material from the EDZ or Titan – however, you have to invest more materials for a reputation package. In this regard, Brother Vance is the “cheapest”.
If you haven’t fallen asleep yet, you can also complete the exotic quest Coming Dawn with your second or third character afterwards. This grants you another 15 masterwork cores for the other characters on your account after the first completion. It may take longer, but at least you get to play with your weapons every now and then.
Have you discovered any other farming methods for masterwork cores? Let us know in the comments!

In the Fortnite tournament “Fall Skirmish” last weekend, “Tfue” from FaZe won $37,500 and a day during the weekend. He was not feeling well at all. He even had to vomit during the stream.
The game mode played was “Royale Flush”: Points were awarded for the last five survivors and bonus points for many kills. By now, Epic has figured out how to reward aggressive play while still keeping it within “Battle Royale”.
One of the two daily winners and recipients of $37,500 was Turner “Tfue” Tenner, a player from the FaZe clan.
Who is Tfue? Tfue is a 20-year-old North American living in Florida. He currently has 4.4 million subscribers on YouTube and 2.8 million followers on Twitch.
His fans consider him one of the best Fortnite players in the world. He has had a rapid rise in Fortnite, his channels are growing rapidly, but all of this has only happened since May 2018.
While some streamers have had such steep careers in Fortnite, no one has had a rise as high as Tfue and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.
“I actually need to lie down”
The special part: Throughout the tournament, Tfue felt awful from the start. He felt miserable, coughed, and said: “I actually need to lie down now.” Clearly, he also vomited into a trash can that was next to him, groaning and moaning.
In the middle of the match, he even went to the bathroom. In the video, he says “I need to pee”, but the video description mentions: he apparently vomited instead.
Colleagues respect performance: Other eSports players praise the performance on Twitter. It was stated: “I just saw Tfue go to the bathroom in the middle of a tournament match. He then came back, teleported into a perfect position, and won the game.”
At about 8:50 in the above video, you can see the scene of Tfue relieving himself.

Treyarch has released two short teasers on Twitter showcasing two more new maps for the traditional multiplayer part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Shortly before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the developers introduced the new maps Summit and Morocco in short clips. These two new maps will already be included in the multiplayer map lineup at the launch of Black Ops 4 on October 12, 2018, bringing the total number of known multiplayer maps to 13.
The Morocco map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Morocco takes place in a small Moroccan village in the middle of the desert. The map consists of numerous buildings and many winding corridors in the center of the site, as well as some more spacious areas at the edges of the map. Morocco resembles the Yemen map from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in some aspects.
Here you can take a look at the first images of the map:

Fans are excited about the new map: The initial fan reactions are mostly positive. Fans appreciate the desert look and layout of the new map.
The Summit map for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Summit is a remake of a popular map from the first installment of the “Call of Duty: Black Ops” series. As the name suggests, Summit takes place on a mountain peak. In a research station from the Cold War era, it gets intense in narrow corridors, numerous small rooms, spacious warehouses, and some open areas.
Here you can watch a video of Summit:

Fans are pleased about an original: In the shown scenes, Summit apparently does not differ in its layout from the original in the first Black Ops installment, which seems to please many fans of the original map. The initial fan reactions are almost universally positive. Fans can hardly wait to have fun on the familiar peak.
More community favorites are making a return: Summit is not the only popular map that will return in Black Ops 4. The maps Jungle (Black Ops 1), Slums (Black Ops 2), Firing Range (Black Ops 1/2), and Nuketown are also confirmed and will be playable in the latest Black Ops installment. Each edition of the game will include these maps.
Azeroth is not a loving mother, but a fanatical goddess of war. At least that is the theory of a player of World of Warcraft.
Many puzzles in World of Warcraft remain unsolved and so there are always players who come up with their own theories about various aspects of the lore. One of them we want to talk about today, namely the theory of Reddit user Tharas_Tirios. He sees Azeroth not as a needy, loving mother, but as a warmonger who simply uses us all.
The Pantheon of Titans is quite versatile. There is Eonar, the Titaness of Life, or Sargeras the Protector. Many different typical roles from myths and legends are represented. But one aspect is missing: war.
In Tharas_Tirios’ theory, Azeroth, the missing Titaness, is a goddess of war. In his opinion, the title of the expansion should be taken literally. In the “Battle for Azeroth,” we are not fighting “for” Azeroth, but rather literally “for” her – because she wants it and thereby gains strength.
Azeroth is a Titaness of war. Just as Eonar thrives on life and joy, Azeroth craves war, which drives her and gives her strength.
Sylvanas – from one slavery to another
The theory also explains Sylvanas’s actions a bit more sensibly. For after Sylvanas freed her will from the Lich King, she then fell under the voice of Azeroth, which can essentially reach all beings of the planet. It was Azeroth who whispered to Vol’jin to choose Sylvanas as the war chief. It was also Azeroth who prompted Sylvanas to ignite the World Tree.
The World Tree is a connection to the Emerald Dream and ensures that Azeroth remains in a sleeping state. However, due to Sargeras’s attack, she has “awakened” and is now trying to accelerate this process. A necessary piece of this puzzle was Teldrassil, a blessed World Tree. That’s why Sylvanas had to ignite Teldrassil.
Players are like demons – they return endlessly
There is another parallel between demons and players. When players die, they land with spirit healers (who are part of the existing lore), who bring them back from the dead time and again. It was similar with Argus and the demons, who were recreated in the Nether over and over. There was also a Titan involved there, accelerating the endless regeneration process.
The Azerite is not really the lifeblood of the planet, but the conflicts that develop around it. Azeroth wants the Horde and the Alliance to fight endlessly and create ever-stronger heroes who ultimately serve her own war, which she will one day wage against the Void.
Azerite is already regarded in the community as very controversial. Many players doubt that it is really the “lifeblood” of the planet. Because if Azeroth is an organism, then there is little reason why it should appear everywhere in the world.
After all, the wound of the world is in Silithus and not on Kul Tiras and Zandalar. If you stab someone in the arm, they don’t start bleeding from their foot.
What is Azeroth planning?
According to the theory, Azeroth is preparing for the final war against the Void. This war will begin with her fighting against the corruption of the Old Gods – for this she uses the champions (the players and story characters) to eradicate the remnants of the Old Gods.
After that, she awakens and will then join the great war against the Void, with the endlessly revived champions of the Horde and Alliance.
Sylvanas will realize that she has been manipulated and try to find a way out of this eternal cycle of control.
Anduin will be a tragic character – a king who wants peace but lives in a world that drives war itself.
The last sentence of his theory reads more like a statement from a Warhammer book:
“There will be no peace in the great dark, only an eternal bloodbath and slaughter – and the laughter of a thirsty goddess.”
But so far, this is all just a theory – and one of many. How it ultimately turns out and whether Azeroth is really a “loving mother” or indeed a “mad warmonger, ” we will surely find out over the next few years.
What do you think of this theory? Would it be a cool twist leading to a possible finale? Or is it too far-fetched?
In the past, we have had other exciting lore theories, such as:

Friday the 13th: The Game (PS4)
What is Friday the 13th: The Game? This is an online survival horror game developed by IllFonic and based on the “Friday the 13th” film franchise. It was released in May 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
In 2017, Friday the 13th was a “summer hit” that ran extremely successfully on Twitch. It is a horror slasher where exciting and shocking situations regularly occur, which are enjoyable to watch in live streams.
The raids for the EX raid boss Deoxys have been running in Pokémon GO for a few hours. Already, duos are bringing him to his knees.
In autumn, the new boss Deoxys moved into the EX raid arenas of Pokémon GO. This boss replaced Mewtwo, which had previously been the opponent in these exclusive raid battles for about a year.
2 people are enough: Instead of struggling against the new monster, trainers demonstrate that victory can also be achieved with just two players.
Strong friendship brings a lot of power
The first EX raids for Deoxys started on October 1st. It quickly becomes clear that not many attackers are needed to defeat the boss.
Duo videos are currently popular: Videos where trainers defeat the new EX raid boss as a duo are currently trending. The following clip makes it clear that a victory is easily achievable with the right preparation.

It wasn’t even close: Trainers Th6EvilDead and BigSheesh defeated Deoxys with plenty of time left on the clock.
Why does it look so easy? A significant factor affecting damage is the strong friendship between the challengers, as strong friendship provides a damage bonus. As PokémonGOHub reports, the two trainers in the displayed video are Hyper Friends in Pokémon GO, which corresponds to a 7% damage bonus for the attackers.
The right counters are particularly important: The attacking team consisted of strong counter Pokémon, which executed very effective attacks against Deoxys. Tyranitar with a moveset of Bite and Crunch is very strong. Both are Dark-type moves, which Deoxys is vulnerable to. Also in the team were Scizor, Gengar, and Mewtwo. We show you the strongest counters against Deoxys here.
With weather boost: Another video of the battle against Deoxys shows how easy it can be in the right weather.

Easy fight as a duo: On Reddit, user brianjmoran commented on this video: “If you have two players with good counters around level 30, a duo victory shouldn’t be a problem.”
The fight against Deoxys is therefore not particularly hard and should not pose a significant challenge for your raid team with the right attackers.
In Fortnite Battle Royale, a story has been unfolding since March 2018. Our author Schuhmann says: It all means that zombies are coming for Christmas. Because then the other mode of Fortnite, “Save the World,” will be free.
At first, it was thought to be an event: I still remember how excited everyone was back then. In March 2018, a comet approached the world of Fortnite. That was something extraordinary because, in Fortnite: Battle Royale, it was really all about the game itself, about the matches.
There was no story embedded in it at all.
Before the comet, there was no world around Fortnite: Battle Royale
This is how it was before the comet: The world of Fortnite: Battle Royale was just there. It didn’t need an explanation, no context. The world was a self-contained habitat – without anything around it.
Like a snow globe that you shake, and then it snows.
Suddenly, there was a story element from outside: the comet. Somehow, it put the world of Fortnite into context. There was a “surrounding.”
This is what the players thought: Players at the time saw this story only as “an announcement of a gameplay event.” They believed the comet was a one-time experience. It would come down and destroy Tilted Towers or bring a new map altogether.
This expected change in Fortnite was so significant that Epic built its own event for it. Or so it was thought.
But it was a story: But it happened differently. The comet was just the first part of a larger narrative arc that continues to this day.
After the comet, it simply continued. In Season 4, a story about superheroes and supervillains was told through loading screens. However, this was just a ruse and led nowhere. The superheroes were just actors filming a movie.
From Season 4, there were heroes and villains of the story in skins
Skins suddenly harmonized with the story: At that time, the skins seemed to suddenly give hints about the world and how it would change. Instead of motifs from outside, like John Wick, you could now play as the superhero Carbide, who was also present in the loading screens. He also had a villain, Omega, whom he hunted.
In Season 6, it is the heroine Calamity and the werewolf she hunts.
The skins then became upgradable, providing additional motivation for the game. With the progression of the story, the heroes and their skins also evolved in the loading screens.
Meanwhile, strange things were happening in the world of Fortnite that ran parallel to the “skin story” in the loading screens.
Rockets, comets, and flying island – the story so far
In the last five months, this has happened in Fortnite:
an alien emerged from the comet and launched a rocket (Season 4)
cracks appeared in the sky, forming a space cube that then fell into Loot Lake (Season 5)
Players are now wondering: What is it all leading to?
Why is Fortnite doing all this?
This could be how it was: Fortnite Battle Royale was born out of necessity in 2017. Epic had the game built within two months by the Unreal Tournament team after it became clear that Fortnite: Save the World would not be a hit.
It was obvious that Epic was orienting itself towards the gameplay of the then-current hit PUBG to appear on all consoles and platforms as quickly as possible.
Epic was in a hurry: Originally, Epic had simply not invented a context for the world of Fortnite Battle Royale. There was no room for that – 2017, Epic had other concerns. It was important to find a functioning game principle.
In the summer back then, Epic apparently didn’t think about the setting: They brought in “generic” skins, fantasy figures like the Black Knight, or pop culture references like John Wick.
Fortnite needed more starting in March 2018: When the comet arrived, in March 2018, Epic already knew that Battle Royale was a hit. And a mode that needed a “context” related to the rest of the game: a surrounding.
What were all the writers and story creators supposed to do, that they were being paid for, if the biggest game in the world had no story and no background?
Fortnite Battle Royale is the prequel to Save the World
This is what the story revolves around: I think the whole story of Battle Royale is about integrating the new mode into the world of the “old” mode. Merging the two worlds.
In Fortnite Battle Royale, players experience what the world was like before the zombie apocalypse that players fight against in Save the World.
Therefore, everything that has happened in Battle Royale in recent months is marked with the color purple.
This is what is currently happening: Right now, the flying island is creating “crater landscapes” in which volcanoes send a purple corruption into the world.
In Save the World, the husks are former humans who are possessed by a “corruption” – they are also purple.
Save the World with Season 7 then free just before Christmas
Currently, there is a concluding event in Save the World called “Under Pressure.” This event is supposed to prepare players for the “exciting things that will happen soon.”
It looks like Fortnite Save the World will become free with the start of Season 7 – just before Christmas. Epic will thus keep its promise to release the currently paid mode as a free-to-play title in 2018.
Is Epic already transitioning Save the World to free-to-play in the background?
This is what we can expect now: In Battle Royale, the world could change further in such a way that the “corruption” spreads in the coming weeks – this would also fit with the Halloween event.
Then in Fortnite, Halloween will be even crazier and more mysterious than usual – no problem.
The question remains of what else will happen in Save the World. There has been relatively little going on in recent months. Hopefully, Epic will take the time for a final push and bring new content or solve current problems.
However, it might be that relatively little has happened in Save the World in recent months because Epic has been using resources to create a new free-to-play model.
This is why it’s clever: If they simply made Save the World free, hardly anyone would notice. However, if Epic does it in such a way that every Battle Royale player is directly confronted with the zombies in the game, then the curiosity to try out the new, soon-to-be-free mode will increase.
We can be curious about how exactly Epic will shape the transition in the coming months and what else the “Flying Island” has planned.
Is all of this confirmed? No, it is not. These are speculations and conclusions. Epic has never explained what the story is about. However, it still states in the FAQ that Save the World should become free by 2018.
The publisher of TERA in the USA, En Masse, is taking action against the creators of mods. They want to incorporate their advantages for themselves.
Mods and interface changes are part of everyday life in many MMORPGs. In games like World of Warcraft, add-ons are so popular that millions of players use them daily. There are also some highly regarded mods in TERA – but action is now being taken against them.
En Masse is taking an aggressive stance: Several authors of various TERA mods have now received warnings to cease work on their modifications and their distribution. They constitute a copyright infringement and a violation of the terms of use.
Which mods are affected? Almost all common mods for TERA that are used in the community are affected by this regulation. This includes add-ons that analyze combat logs or allow enchantments with one click.
The community is angry: Many players of TERA are dissatisfied with this decision. Many mods are used by players, even if they represent violations of the terms of use. Features that the game itself does not provide, such as analyzable combat logs or minor interface adjustments, are particularly popular.
En Masse wants to incorporate mods: In the official forum, the developers stated that they understand the community’s displeasure, which has come to appreciate many mods. In the future, they want to “analyze the situation closely to allow some of the advantages of these modifications without violating the terms of use.”
Whether this means there will be “official” mods in the future or TERA will simply introduce new features remains to be seen.
Do you use mods and add-ons in TERA? Or have you always avoided them because they were officially prohibited or simply unnecessary?
The story of Forsaken, the first major expansion for Destiny 2, begins with a breakout from the Prison of Elders. The culprit behind the villains’ escape has now been clarified in the lore book “The Most Loyal”.
The Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken starts with us helping Cayde-6 to subdue a riot of the inmates in the Prison of Elders. The identity of the escapee is not revealed during the story.
However, the question is explained in detail in the lore. If you prefer to discover this yourself, you should not read on!
What happened in the Prison of Elders?
Where can you find the lore entries for “The Most Loyal”? It seems that the lore entries are randomly available from public events in the Tanglevine . However, some players also report that they were included in the chests of the Lost Sectors in the Tanglevine.
What is the lore about? The first entry tells of how Variks, who is now the Warden in the Prison of Elders, must watch as the Cabal Legion attacks our solar system. While large parts of the Awoken fleet were able to flee, his warnings come too late for humanity’s Last City.
He observes as the Traveler is imprisoned by Ghaul and the Guardians fall. At the same time, Variks is unable to contact the crows, the spy network of the Awoken of the Reef.
Variks feels his adoptive family slipping away from him and begins to doubt his Kell, Mara Sov, and her plans.
What happens to the Barons? In addition to other scum of the galaxy, Variks also supervises seven of the eight Barons of Scorn. Fikrul, the fanatic, who Variks was close friends with years ago, has been declared dead by Cayde-6.
During his rounds through the prison, Variks contemplates what has driven him all these years: He desires to unite his people, the Eliksni, under one banner. But the Guardians have nearly wiped out all Fallen leaders.
Variks hires a bounty hunter to find Craask, Kell and leader of the House of Kings. In him, Variks sees a chance to restore the Fallen to their former power. The bounty hunter informs Variks that Craask was wiped out by the eighth Baron Fikrul and an Awoken vagabond. Variks contacts Cayde.
Who speaks to Variks? In Variks’ dream, a voice speaks to him about his failures. As Variks tries to remember who he is and that he might be the last hope for the Eliksni people, the unwelcome voice sends him images from his past.
When he awakens, Cayde has returned to the Prison of Elders with two prisoners: Fikrul, the fanatic, and to Variks’ dismay, Uldren Sov, Prince of the Awoken. Variks cannot help but address Uldren as “Your Grace”.
Petra Venj has the plan to imprison Uldren in the prison, as he seems to be losing his mind. No one but Petra, Variks, and Cayde are to know that the Prince is still alive and imprisoned in the deepest, darkest maximum-security area of the prison.
This is the beginning of the end: While Variks illegally attempts to speak to Uldren, a Servitor explodes, which was supposed to siphon Ether from Baron Fikrul. A precautionary measure for Fallen inmates to replenish the Ether supplies, which have been low since the attack of the Cabal Legion and weaken the prisoners.
While Variks is still pondering the dark, swirling, and corrupted Ether, Fikrul mocks him. Variks would still cling to his former House of Judgment, just as House Rain does to its predictions.
Three times a day, Variks visits the “royal cell block” and checks on Uldren, who usually sits in a corner of his cell talking to himself. But suddenly, Uldren addresses Variks and tells him that his Kell, Mara Sov, is still alive. Uldren asks if Variks knows where his true loyalty lies.
What does Variks do with the Ether? Although Petra had forbidden it, Variks begins experiments on the corrupted Ether. He wants to uncover the secret of the fanatic and hopes to find a cure for Uldren in the process.
When Variks realizes that the Ether from Fikrul resurrects dead Fallen, the fanatic laughs and tells Variks that now he knows where his loyalty lies.
At the mention of loyalty, Variks expected a memory of Mara Sov, but instead, he thinks of the prophecies of House Rain: That one day a Fallen warrior will rise, whose enemies will flee or fall, and he will heal and unite the Fallen Houses. The Kell of Kells.
Thus the Scorn are freed: A few days later, Variks has made all the preparations to leave the Prison of Elders and to free Uldren and the Barons. He refers to the rescue as a final service to his Highness.
As the prison descends into chaos, Variks records two messages to be sent as soon as he leaves his post: One in the High Speech of the House of Judgment and one in the human language.
They call me a traitor. I, who was the most loyal. They do not think that I hear the words. Insects. Bug…Fallen. I hear the words. The House of Judgment always listens. No choice. To hold the houses together. Judgment always listens.
The Great Machine stood in Judgment. Eliksni fell into fighting. Fell into hatred. Cannot bear this hatred.
I can go nowhere else. I can be no one else, here. And so I will be Variks, the Kell. Messenger of the House of Judgment for the Eliksni. No choice. The Eliksni must rise…yes?

The next patch of World of Warcraft brings new models of the Night Elf Sabers. They now look really shaggy!
With new expansions and patches, the graphics of existing models are polished or new “HD” variants of old models are introduced in World of Warcraft from time to time. This is also the case in Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance. Blizzard is now taking on the Night Sabers.
Source: wowhead
Eight different models: A total of eight models have been found from the Sabers in the game data. The new look has a more pronounced texture with much more detail, but has also received some additional polygons. The Sabers now have significantly more hair on their heads and hind legs. The saddles are also now higher resolution. Overall, the big cats look much “wilder” in direct comparison to the old model.
The colleagues from wowhead have made a video about the new Saber:

This model does not replace the old Sabers: It is important to mention that the new Sabers are not a revision of the old, already available mounts. These will continue to keep their original model and will therefore not be revised. So no one has to say goodbye to their beloved old Saber.
Where can you find the new Sabers? How one becomes the owner of the new Sabers is not yet quite clear. However, it is possible that they will be left behind by rare enemies in the revamped Darkshore. After all, this area is also being revised with the Warfront: Darkshore and will then be interesting for players at max level again.

How do you like the new models of the Sabers? Do you like the revision? Or have you gotten so used to the old Sabers that you won’t switch anyway?
In Fortnite the suspected challenges for week 2 of Season 6 are now known. Dataminers have found and leaked the preliminary challenges.
Datamining leak for all upcoming challenges: The tasks of week 2 from Season 6 have been dug up by dataminers from the game code. As in week 1, the challenges are simple yet dynamic.
It is striking that there seem to be no treasure hunts or hidden locations. Instead, there are many missions in which you should inflict kills or damage with various weapons.
But as always, this information is based on datamining and therefore may not be accurate. Additionally, everything could still change before the start of week 2 (expected on Thursday).
The free challenges without a Battle Pass in Season 6, week 2
Visit all corrupted areas (7): This task should be easy to complete. The corrupted areas are highly visible. If this task really comes to the game, you just need to devise a good route and visit as many areas as possible.
Use a Shadow Stone in different matches (3): If you complete the task with the corrupted areas, you can simultaneously complete this one. The Shadow Stones are scattered around all the corrupted areas. You need to collect three in different matches.
Stage 1: Inflict damage with standard assault rifles (1): This task is not difficult as there are many assault rifles available. Standard assault rifles likely refer to the regular M16, the SCAR, and the two versions of the Burst Assault Rifle. After the first stage, you will continue with other weapons.
For these 4 tasks in week 2, you need the Battle Pass
Eliminate opponents from at least 50 meters away (1): This challenge is especially for fans of assault rifles and sniper rifles. Just make sure to take someone down from a distance.
Inflict damage with pistols (500): Pistols are not particularly good weapons, but fortunately, you only need to inflict damage. 500 points might take some time, but eventually, everyone should be able to complete it. As a last resort, you can go into the 50vs50 mode or another team battle and pump a downed opponent with pistol shots.
Eliminate opponents with submachine guns (3): SMGs are still excellent weapons in the game. Three kills with them should be achievable for everyone.
Stage 1: Inflict damage with hunting rifles (200): A tricky challenge since hunting rifles are not necessarily the best weapons and do not appear frequently either. The subsequent tasks may similarly be specific and annoying.
More info will probably be available on Thursday
Attention, tasks may still change: The tasks from week 2 of Season 6 sound logical, but they could still change significantly.

When will we know more? So far, the new tasks have come on Thursday of each week. If that hasn’t changed, it should also be the case in week 2 of Season 6 again on Thursday. Then we will present you with the correct tasks in another article and provide additional guides as needed.
The new research breakthrough with Suicune also brings trainers new field research in Pokémon GO this month. There is now a new Shiny and a new Pandir form available from the quests.
The new field researches that you can obtain at PokéStops mainly focus on the Water type. This is because the legendary Water Pokémon Suicune is now available as a research breakthrough.
Additionally, like last month with Fukano, a new Shiny form is making its way into the game. Furthermore, Pandir number 1 is obtainable from the quests.
Quests in October at Pokémon GO
The following new quests have been compiled by members of TheSilphRoad and are now available in Pokémon GO:
Until now, trainers could only catch two forms of Pandir in Pokémon GO. Those were form number 8 and form number 3. All forms differ by the spots on Pandir’s head.
New form: Now trainers can find form number 1 in Pokémon GO. The following screenshot shows what it looks like in the game.
Easy catch: You can obtain Pandir through the quest “Land two good curveball throws”. That shouldn’t be a problem.
Monthly rotation: After forms 8 in August and 3 in September, now the third form appears in the third month. One can now assume that the other forms will also be added in the coming months.
New Shiny – Krabby
For several days now, we have known that the shiny form of Krabby has been added to Pokémon GO. This Pokémon is now obtainable through the task “Catch 5 Water Pokémon”, or it can also be found in the wild.
What does shiny Krabby look like? Early trainers have already managed to catch the shiny form of Krabby in Pokémon GO. Here’s what it looks like in Pokémon GO:

Fortnite is in a strange situation: the main game “Save the World” was supposed to be released for free in 2018. But the success of Battle Royale raises question marks. Fans of both modes in Fortnite are concerned. We are looking for answers to their questions.
Fortnite has two modes that share a client:
The PvE mode “Save the World” is paid on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This makes it inaccessible to many players. However, it is known that the mode should be available for free in 2018.
The PvP mode “Battle Royale” can be played by anyone, even without paying.
Fortnite fans of both modes have questions about “Save the World”, but different ones
Many fans who know and like the BR mode are currently looking eagerly at the PvE mode and asking: “Should I spend money on Save the World now when the mode will be free in 2018 anyway? When will it finally come?”
However, the PvE fans have completely different concerns. They fear that Epic could neglect them in favor of the more attractive PvP mode. They wonder: “Is Epic even still interested in Save the World? Are they still developing this part?”
When will Save the World be free?
So far, there is only the statement that Fortnite “Save the World” should be free in 2018. However, there are no signs that this will happen anytime soon.
It is said: “We still want to do a lot with the mode.” Officially, the game is still in Early Access.
It sounds like Epic wants to release the mode “Save the World” for free only when the release status is reached. However, they are probably still far from that at Epic.
Right after the release, Epic Games tried some experiments with the mode – such as a “XXL Survival Mode” and some seasonal events. However, since Battle Royale has become such a hit, the team’s focus seems to have shifted to PvP. Substantial advancements in PvE have been painfully missed by fans since then.
So, one should not expect that Epic Games will spontaneously release “Save the World” for free, but one can assume that the free release of “Save the World” comes at the end of a longer development process with substantial expansions.
Especially from the midgame onward, the mode needs more content. Currently, patches are indeed being worked on “Fortnite Save the World”, but significant progress has not been observed in recent months.
Fans are afraid after the end of Paragon
The fact that relatively little has happened in PvE lately gives fans reason to worry.
After all, Epic Games recently shut down their own game “Paragon”, likely to focus on the well-performing Battle Royale mode of Fortnite. Some fans have gulped hard and asked: “Are we next?”
However, it seems unlikely that Epic Games will actually discontinue the PvE mode. On the contrary: here they have a huge opportunity to engage the existing Battle Royale players more closely by suddenly making the “Save the World” mode accessible for free.
Epic is working on Save the World, wants to unify the control of PvE and PvP
And so Epic Games is diligently sending signals: “No, we haven’t forgotten you. We are working hard to expand the PvE mode.”
The latest is that Fortnite is working on unifying the control of “Save the World” and the “Battle Royale” mode. Currently, the controls in both modes differ greatly, making it hard to switch from one mode to the other.
Both modes do indeed benefit from each other: Weapons from one mode frequently transfer to the other. For example, in Battle Royale the
Epic has every reason to finish Save the World and release it for free
For Epic, it is strategically important to polish the PvE mode and offer it for free to Battle Royale players.
Because here Epic essentially has a “second game” in development with a monetization concept. If they can attract some of the “Battle Royale” players to “Save the World”, Epic will be able to earn even more money than they already do.
However, Epic Games is in a strange position here. As long as players think: “The mode will be free soon anyway”, the incentive to buy “Save the World” now is low. However, if they present the Battle Royale players with a weak mode, it could overall harm the game. A huge opportunity would be missed.
So Epic has every reason to polish the mode “Save the World” as best as possible and then release it.
It is important to note:
“Save the World” is supposed to be free in 2018. That is the only thing we definitely know.
One can be sure that Epic has a huge interest in further developing and launching “Save the World” – a fate like that of Paragon does not threaten here – at least not according to our assessment.
Update 22.10: Surprisingly, Epic has announced that Save the World will no longer be free in 2018.
By the way, there is already a connection between the two modes. After all, you can earn V-Bucks in the PvE mode, which can be spent in the Battle Royale mode for skins:
For the first time in the history of FIFA 19, you can see the probability of what you will pull from the packs in Ultimate Team. The current OTW event highlights just how low the chances actually are to pull a special card.
What is OTW in FUT 19? The Ones-to-Watch event showcases the top transfers of the summer. Special OTW cards are now available, which improve every time the player receives another special card during the FUT 19 season.
These could be “Team of the Week” cards or other specials. For instance, the OTW card of Cristiano Ronaldo could further increase in value if the player receives a special card during the Ultimate Team season. Accordingly, the OTW cards, which are only available for a limited time in sets, are highly sought after.
Minimum chances: However, the current event shows that obtaining one of the coveted cards is extremely unlikely. The new option to view the probabilities of such a draw makes it abundantly clear: The chance of pulling an OTW card is below one percent.
Chance below one percent: This percentage is not further specified: It could effectively be a 0.5%, 0.1%, or 0.01% chance – or even significantly lower.
Special packs not better: This applies not only to standard gold packs but also to premium gold packs and special promo packs like the jumbo premium gold pack or the premium electrum player pack. The rate of all packs in FUT 19 cannot yet be determined.
Thus, it is clear: You should perhaps invest your hard-earned coins elsewhere instead of spending them on packs. You can buy 100 of the 15,000 coin costing jumbo premium gold packs, and still, the probability of pulling an OTW player is low.
However, it will likely be similarly expensive to acquire one of the OTW cards on the transfer market. The OTW card of Leon Goretzka, a coveted CM for a Bundesliga team, is currently priced at about 189,000 coins:
In the coming weeks, it will be decided whether Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will really be the hit many already think it is. Our author Schuhmann asks: Has Activision even understood why Fortnite is such a success?
Much praise for Blackout: In less than 2 weeks, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be released. The mode everyone is waiting for is the battle royale mode Blackout.
This is a kind of “XXL Call of Duty.” They took multiple maps from previous CoD titles and stitched them together into a gigantic map.
There, 100 players are supposed to fight for survival in a battle royale mode.
The first reactions to Blackout are very positive. Streamer DrDisrespect almost suppressed tears when he played Blackout for the first time. The weapon handling, the graphics, the atmospheres felt strong.
Activision stocks should be bought again. They talk about a strong competitor for PUBG and also for Fortnite.
After analysts previously advised caution and had respect for how Fortnite changed the gaming market, it now said: “Feel free to buy the stocks.”
The secret of Fortnite is the vibrant rhythm
What makes Fortnite’s success actually? Already now it can be said: Black Ops 4 will surely be able to keep up with Fortnite in gameplay, and perhaps even surpass it.
But the actual strength of Fortnite comes from elsewhere.
When Epic first presented their new game Fortnite back in 2017, the creative head Donald Mustard revealed the secret of the game to the US site Polygon: They oriented themselves to Destiny.
A robust event system was supposed to make Fortnite a living game that is constantly evolving and changing. Mustard referred to it as a “living product.”
There is a rhythm that is much livelier than in typical games. And the systems of Fortnite are more robust than those of Destiny back then.
Mustard’s statements in 2017 still referred to the “original Fortnite”, but exactly these systems are behind Fortnite’s battle royale success. They ensure that Fortnite has dominated so far in 2018.
Not only the game is alive, but also the studio behind it: Epic is always in motion, communicates with fans, addresses their issues, and provides solutions.
Can Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 do that? Activision has surely analyzed and understood that this rhythm is behind Fortnite’s success. The interesting part will be whether Activision can give their game this “rhythm” that Epic found in Fortnite.
Currently, everything in Black Ops 4 focuses on the gameplay, on the game from “minute to minute”, but Fortnite’s success also relies on how the game changes from “day to day” and “month to month”.
One should be curious about what exactly Activision will come up with to keep their Blackout fresh for months. Whether Activision presents a coherent concept here will likely determine how successful Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 really becomes.
