With a petition, fans want to extend the beta of Blackout in Call of Duty Black Ops 4. Reason: It’s so much fun!
The beta phase of Blackout in Black Ops 4 is actually supposed to end today, September 17 at 7:00 PM on all platforms. But as it is with test phases, players are reluctant to part ways.
A large petition has now started on Reddit: Players are demanding an extension of the beta.
Bugs and love are main reasons for the extension wish
Request starts on Reddit: On Reddit, a thread has appeared that has since gathered over 4600 upvotes and stands at the top of the Blackops4 subreddit. The text explains that the Blackout beta should be extended for several reasons;
Everyone is currently having a lot of fun playing Blackout – That is the main reason
Users affected by Hurricane Florence in the USA have not been able to play properly in the last days
The new armor settings should be tested for a longer period
Moreover, there are still some bugs and optimization issues
Waiting for a response: Supporters of a beta extension are now waiting for a response from the developers at Treyarch.
Armor is a strong feature on which Blackout stands or falls
Frequent criticism regarding armor: In the beta, the armor has been frequently criticized. That’s why the developers have also made changes so that the armor gets destroyed faster.
However, users want the beta to be extended so that the developers can work more on the armor. One user writes: “The armor is terrifying. It shouldn’t take 8 shots from a shotgun to kill someone. That’s ridiculous.”
Armor as a reason for or against purchase: The body armor has a significant impact on gameplay and apparently also on the community’s purchasing power. A Reddit user writes: “Extend it [the beta], until the armor feels right. If they [Treyarch] can’t find balance, then people might not want to buy the game because of that.”
While we in Europe still have to wait for the game and it is rather an exotic choice,
Lost Ark is considered in Asia as the “most hotly anticipated new MMORPG” ever.
Looks like cyberpunk, but it is Lost Ark
For us, an exceptional mix of styles: The special thing about the trailer from our western perspective is that at least three influences are recognizable, which partly exclude each other:
This is a modern city look like from Cyberpunk 2077, with E-guitar playing cowboys in a neon city – a kind of neon steampunk
Then there is a fantasy horror look with strange Asian demons apparently devouring whole hordes of children for breakfast – horror fantasy
One recognizes a fairy-tale Asian martial arts world, in which women can run through the air with ribbons and sorceresses master the elements and epic fantasy battles with a grand backdrop – epic martial arts fantasy
Majestic castle
What can be seen in the trailer? We see various heroes fighting demons and then embarking on a ship journey. These ship journeys to distant islands are likely an important part of Lost Ark.
The heroes likely represent the various classes in Lost Ark: There are 4 base classes in the new MMORPG, which then branch into 12 classes. In the video, we see a gunslinger (Devil Hunter), a sorceress, a warrior (Berserker), and a martial arts fighter (Infighter). There also seems to be a classic warrior.
The trailer ends in front of a fortress, apparently controlled by a demon summoner who manages from a safe distance. It is quite possible that the cinematic trailer sets the stage for the assault on the castle.
With a gameplay trailer that showed a fortress siege, Lost Ark captured attention long ago.

How do fans react to the trailer? By now, over 34,000 people have seen the trailer. It has about 580 likes.
In the western reddit, it is viewed critically. One says: Typical Korea. No gameplay, but as long as there is such a cinematic. All the money goes into that.
Many western fans are noticeably disheartened that a release in Europe for Lost Ark may still take a while.
The Primus Engrams in Destiny 2 are currently causing confusion and concern among the player base. Bungie is now clarifying a few things.
This is why players are worried: Shortly after the launch of the Forsaken expansion, an exploit was discovered in Destiny 2. With this exploit, players can obtain Primus Engrams excessively quickly, which advance Guardians’ Power Level beyond the soft cap.
Players who extensively use the exploit will not receive any Primus Engrams for the next two to three weeks. This is because those who farm many Primus Engrams at once will see a reduced drop rate in the near future.
Who should worry about negative effects? On Reddit and in other forums, many Guardians expressed concern. They wrote that they received two or three Primus Engrams in a relatively short time, but did not use any exploit.
Now they wonder if they are also affected by negative effects.
Those who do not extensively use the exploit need not worry
Bungie reassures the community: Early on, Bungie’s Community Manager Cozmo stated that one should not fear a drought of Primus Engrams if they have “accidentally” used the exploit a few times.
An official statement has since appeared on the Bungie website:
“Players who receive Primus Engrams under normal gameplay conditions should not experience the negative effects of this exploit.” They have noticed the many concerns from players.
One need not worry when playing Destiny 2 normally.
How do Primus Engrams work?
Information about Primus Engrams:
One only receives Primus Engrams if they have the Primus Determination buff. This buff is received once a character reaches level 50 and speaks with Master Rahool in the Tower.
Primus Engrams drop randomly from “challenging enemies” and upon completing Crucible matches.
Once a Primus Engram is obtained, a cooldown period starts. Only after this cooldown period has passed can one randomly receive another Primus Engram.
Primus Engrams go into the inventory and must be decrypted by the Cryptarch.
Bethesda presents in a roughly one-hour video the new area from the upcoming DLC Murkmire for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online and explains why Argonians live in stilt houses.
If you want to learn more about the culture of the Argonians in the MMO ESO and further explore the Black Marsh, then the DLC Murkmire is definitely interesting for you. Before its release, you can familiarize yourself with the landscape through a video and also learn new information about the Argonians.
News from Murkmire – Musical Frogs
What can be seen? In the video, the developers introduce the new area Murkmire. This is located on the southern coast of Black Marsh. Murkmire is a swamp landscape that is mostly walkable. Although you will encounter rivers and also deep lakes, the majority of the area consists of knee-deep waters through which you wade. Therefore, there is much to explore in the DLC.
The video shows the stilt houses of the Argonians. The buildings are built on these stilts to relocate villages when necessary due to changing swamp ground. This is demonstrated with the settlement Lilmoth, which plays a role in the novel “The Infernal City” by author Greg Keyes.
Additionally, the developers introduce an interesting musical instrument played by the Argonians. This involves frogs that produce sounds.
You will also see breeding grounds of the Argonians and how the people take care of the eggs.
What does Murkmire offer? The DLC is expected to have a size roughly comparable to the DLC The Clockwork City with about 15 to 20 hours of new content. In contrast to Clockwork City, you will have much more to explore.
In addition, you complete daily missions and also engage in boss fights. Moreover, you will explore a new, larger dungeon. The story revolves around the search for a Saxhleel artifact, which both the Blackguard, Argonians, and tomb raiders want to obtain.

Cortyn has tried the Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft is a strong recommendation for anyone just wanting to have fun in WoW.
In World of Warcraft, there comes a time when you’re dissatisfied with your main character. For me, this time has come with Battle for Azeroth: I am unhappy with my Shadow Priest.
I held onto my Shadow Priest for years. Since the creation of my Blood Elf in The Burning Crusade, the Shadow Priest has always been what I wanted to play. This started as a “Mana battery” in Karazhan with healing support and continued through many addons, during which we first became DoT masters and only went mad with Legion.
It was time for something new, so I pulled out another character that I had just leveled to level 120 – my Demon Hunter.
Somehow I feel a bit silly that I only now, one addon too late, gave this class and specialization a real chance. But back then, the whole thing was just too “edgy” for me, and with every “I sacrificed everything” from the NPCs, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. After a cool Demon Hunter machinima, I started thinking about becoming a Demon Hunter.
Now I somewhat regret that I tried this class so late.
Demon Hunters are easy to play
And now we come to the part that will surely anger some players because I “have no idea”. But: Demon Hunters are easy to play, at least in PvE. Without any extensive preparation, I just did a heroic dungeon with a few friends and tried out being a Vengeance Demon Hunter. I had always leveled as a tank.
To put it this way: In the first mob group, I had a laughing fit, and a Fire Mage with a bruised self-esteem whispered in Discord, “This class should be deleted…”
Yes, I too found the damage ridiculous. And the impression remained that way throughout the entire dungeon. Whether I was frying everything with my Eye Beam or darting through enemies with my Blade Dance, everything felt smooth and action-packed.
This even distracts from the fact that the class actually only needs five buttons in dungeons. Or a maximum of six if you count that one 4-minute cooldown.
That is exactly the fresh change I was looking for. I don’t have to dot five mobs in a row and then meticulously ensure that my Shadow Word: Pain doesn’t fall off anywhere while managing my Voidform and keeping my insanity as high as possible.
Instead, I stand in front of a group, hit twice, activate the Eye Beam, and cannot help but grin from ear to ear. This is mainly because every hit of this ability is a critical hit. So with ten enemies, every 0.5 seconds, ten critical hits fly across the screen. It feels powerful and good.
Those wanting relaxation should play Demon Hunters
In summary, I can only say: Demon Hunters are a lot of fun in Battle for Azeroth. They are easy to play, and it is hard to play them really “badly.” Sure, professionals can get a lot more out of the class, but even as a beginner with the class, you achieve more than solid results.
Is that a particularly great gameplay achievement? Certainly not. Is it fun if you just want to relax and play a DPS? Absolutely.
So my recommendation to anyone who doesn’t want to deal too much with exact rotations and DPS maximizations or is unhappy with their current class: Just try a Demon Hunter. It’s very easy fun. But sometimes that is exactly right.
Have you tried new classes with Battle for Azeroth? Or are you focusing entirely on your main?
The developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) have held Cantina Tours repeatedly in the past. However, the next tour has been canceled for safety reasons. Now many fear the end of the game
What are the Cantina Tours? The SWTOR Cantina Tours are community events held in various cities. There was also such a tour in Germany during Gamescom 2014.
At the Cantina events, you can meet other players, enjoy drinks, chat with developers, and grab valuable news about the future of the game. There were often codes for new pets or mounts.
Cantina Tour in New York canceled
What happened to the latest tour? The next planned Cantina Tour in New York on October 4, 2018, has now been canceled. The reason, according to BioWare, is safety concerns.
Are safety concerns justified? Some users on reddit support the decision. The small bar usually rented for the event poses a large safety risk in a disaster like a fire or a shooting spree.
Livestream instead of drinks: As a substitute, BioWare plans to hold a community livestream in October. There will also be news and information about the game, including updates on “Jedi under Siege.” Free drinks and social interaction will, of course, not be available via stream.
Is SWTOR soon to be dead and making way for Anthem?
Fans fear the beginning of the end: Although BioWare promises that fans will see each other live at future events, many players remain skeptical.
Recently, rumors have circulated that BioWare wants to shut down Star Wars: The Old Republic soon to focus on the new game Anthem.
The end of the Cantina Tours and SWTOR? Fans speculate on sites like Dulfy: Such events like the Cantina Tour cost a lot of money and are simply no longer worthwhile for SWTOR.
Therefore, many players see the end of the event approaching and consider the reason for cancellation due to safety concerns just a lame excuse. The developers probably also do not want to deal with the accusations of content scarcity face to face.
According to skeptics, the game would probably hardly make much money anymore and is slowly being sidelined.

In Destiny 2, you can now start the Blind Well on heroic. A Well Plague awaits to be defeated.
Guardians are waiting for the Well Plague: Many players have had a bounty in their inventory for days that they cannot complete. This is called “Cleansing Ritual” and requires you to defeat a Well Plague while ascendant. However, there has been no sign of the Well Plague until now.
That has changed now: Since the Raid “Last Wish” was cracked for the first time and a curse was released, the Well Plague is in the game. Now you can go to the Blind Well and defeat the Well Plague.
Stop, how do I get the bounty? Since the Forsaken launch, you have been receiving tasks called “Cleansing Ritual” in the Dreaming City. These are “Queen’s bounties” that are sent to your inventory upon completion of weekly Petra bounties. We present these Cleansing Rituals in more detail here.
This is how you get to the Well Plague
The way to the Well Plague consists of two steps:
Master a Level 3 challenge in the Blind Well
Immediately activate the heroic event by using an Instable Light Charge. Now the Well Plague will spawn for you to eliminate.

Read more about our privacy policy.
Once the Level 3 challenge is mastered, you have only a few seconds to use an Instable Light Charge in the pillar in the middle of the room. Do this and the heroic event will start. This is essentially the 4th level of the Blind Well.
An Instable Light Charge costs 35 Dark Fragments from Petra. A player must have it.
This is how you defeat the Well Plague
This week, the Well Plague Sikariis with Varkuuriis awaits you.
You can only take down the opponents’ shield by shooting at the exploding Shriekers when they are next to the Well Plague. The explosion of the Shriekers damages the shield.
Watch out for the Ether Torches that additionally protect the boss. These must be destroyed before the explosions, otherwise they do not harm the boss’s shield.
Once the shield is destroyed, you can deal damage to the boss.
Recommended Power Level is 580. Therefore, it is best to start the challenge with many guardians together. The challenge has a time limitation.
Upon completion, you will receive Powerful Gear – once per week and per character.
Is that the only Well Plague? If you look at the Triumphs for the Dreaming City, you will see that besides Sikariis, the Taunts Champion, there are two other Well Plagues in the Blind Well:
Cragur, a Hive Champion
and Inomina, a Scorn Champion
These three Well Plagues unlock their own Triumphs. Presumably, the other two Well Plagues will be next in line in the coming weeks and will require different mechanics.
This week, Season 15 Diablo 3 starts with the season theme Boon of the Horadrim. This gives you more little cubes.
When does it start? On September 21 at 5:00 PM, Season 15 in Diablo 3 begins. Players on PS4 and Xbox One start at 2:00 AM German time. Whether this season will coincide with the release of the Switch version of Diablo 3 or start with Season 16 is unclear.
What’s new? Season 15 has a new season theme that gives you more Horadric little cubes. For you, this means: Double cubes and double crafting mats in the same timeframe.
Season 15 – Theme “Boon of the Horadrim”
Since Season 14, Diablo 3 has been trying special season themes. These are meant to bring more variety to a season and motivate players to play more.
What bonuses does the season theme give? In Season 15, you will receive double the Horadric little cubes from bounties. So if you complete 5 bounties, you will get 2 Horadric little cubes instead of just one.
How good are the contents of the extra cubes? The additional little cube is subject to the same difficulty level as the actual little cube. It works just like it would if you had completed twice as many bounties.
What’s in the cubes? The little cubes contain random specific equipment parts like the popular Ring of Royal Grandeur or crafting materials like the Holy Water from Westmarch. The contents vary depending on the act in which you completed the bounties for the cube.
Haedrig’s Gift in Season 15 for Diablo 3
In every season, you will be rewarded with gifts for completing stages of the seasonal journey. Haedrig’s gifts help you assemble a complete set. Which sets are available for the respective classes changes in each season. The following class sets are given as gifts in Season 15:
For which stages are there gifts? For completing stages 2, 3, and 4, you will receive Haedrig’s gifts. There is a maximum of one complete set gifted.
For which class do I get my gift? You will receive the gifts via in-game mail. On consoles, you redeem the gifts on the seasonal journey screen. The set content matches the character that opens the gift. Thus, you either receive a complete set for one character or distribute the set items across multiple classes.
Challenges and Cosmetic Rewards in Season 15
As you progress through your seasonal journey, you unlock cosmetic rewards:
The chest armor and gloves of the exclusive Conqueror set
Portraits that thematically match the “Eternal Conflict”
The “helping hand” Belphegor as a pet
Achievements in Season 15:
Sprinter/Speed Demon: Complete the entire Diablo 3 campaign from Act 1 to Act 4 in less than 1 hour
Greed/Gold Rush: Collect 50 million gold outside the Realm of Treasure or a central vault
Boss Mode/Class of Its Own: Kill all bosses in Diablo 3 on Torment X within 20 minutes
Otherwise, it would be too easy/Superhuman: Complete a Greater Nephalem Rift level 45 alone without wearing set items
Master of All Classes/Game, Set, Match: Complete 8 different set rifts on master rank
When does Season 15 end in Diablo 3?
So far, Blizzard expects that Season 15 will end on Sunday, December 16, 2018. In Germany, that would be at 5:00 PM, as with the start.
Possibly sooner or later: The date is not yet 100% confirmed. Blizzard wants to report on the season preview about when it ends. They are trying to stick to the specified dates. However, it is possible that the end date for Season 15 may change.
In Fortnite, the developers have revealed some insights into their philosophy: They focus on the creativity of the players. They turn a bug into a feature.
Donald Mustard, the Chief Creative Officer of Epic Games, shared an anecdote that he describes as important for the development of Fortnite.
Mustard recounts that during one of the first weeks of Fortnite: Battle Royale, they noticed a bug that had never been observed before. Players discovered: They could jump on a rocket fired from a rocket launcher to fly across the entire map.
In November 2017, this became a real trend among the first Fortnite players:
https://youtu.be/zTZKLmwhclk?t=19s
Fortnite players could even send each other on journeys to get from point A to point B quickly. It was even possible to fire from the rocket.
A classic exploit, a bug that was not intended.
Let’s make a feature out of it
Thus, the bug became a feature: Epic immediately called for a meeting. They entered the meeting with the idea: “Okay, we definitely need to fix this bug.”
But then they asked themselves: “Wait, do we really need to? This is actually exactly what we want: a world you can immerse yourself in. It’s no longer a bug but a feature now.”
Turning point in development: In this meeting, they considered how to support such features in the future.
Mustard says: This moment clarified a lot for the team.
Fortnite as an adaptable platform
Fortnite was envisioned as a platform: This aligns with the core idea of Fortnite. The game was actually intended to be more of a “platform” than a standalone game. A platform on which other games could be built. Originally, Fortnite was considered a “showcase” for the new Unreal Engine 4.
Thus, it was easy for Epic to transform their “Zombie-building-survival” game Fortnite into a Battle Royale shooter. After Fortnite initially flopped, the new Battle Royale mode was developed in just 2 months with the help of the developers from Unreal Tournament.
Fortnite relies on the creativity of players: Epic now relies on the creativity of players, especially in the Creative mode. Mustard is amazed at what players have built in the meantime.
In the beginning, they only played internally and built small structures. Here a wall, there a ramp. They never imagined that players would become so incredibly creative with building.
Who knows what features in Fortnite originally started as bugs?
Anyone needing Queen’s Leaf Tincture in Destiny 2 should visit secret traders in the Dreaming City.
Spoiler Warning: The article discusses events that occur in the Dreaming City.
Every Guardian who has reached the endgame zone Dreaming City quickly realizes that there are some secrets that are not shown on the map.
This includes two strange, well-hidden skulls that you can interact with. In the Guardianship, they are already called “Ahamkara Traders”, as these are skulls of these creatures.
Location of the Ahamkara Traders
Here’s how to find the Ahamkara Traders: Start in the landing zone of the Dreaming City and follow the path toward the Oracle. Before a bridge, turn right and jump onto a ledge. Continue along the path until a portal appears before you. Go through it and follow the path until you reach the area “The Conflux” and then arrive at “The Herald’s Retreat.” There is another portal that takes you to the traders.
Nexxoss Gaming shows you the way in the video from the spawn zone:

This is just one way that leads to the skulls. You can also access the Herald’s Retreat via the Rheasilvia area, but this way is longer.
First, clear the room where the skulls are located. A few enemies with a power level of 550 are waiting there. Eliminate them, then you can interact with the skulls at your leisure.
What do the two skulls offer?
On the left side is the Ahamkara skull of Muninn. For 25 Baryon Fragments, you will receive a Light Charge level 2, which you need for the Blind Well – and the 2nd Seed of Light.
On the right side is the Ahamkara skull of Huginn. For 50 Baryon Fragments, you will receive the Queen’s Leaf Tincture.
You cannot buy an unlimited number of items from them. At some point, they will ignore you. Then you have to wait a while or search for new Baryon Fragments until they are willing to trade again.
The names “Muninn” and “Huginn” are references to Norse mythology. In it, Hugin and Munin are the two ravens of Odin. They whisper into the All-Father’s ear everything they see and hear.
Baryon Fragments can be found all over the Dreaming City. You can collect them directly as violet-glowing little trees or receive them as a reward for bounties, for patrols or from chests.
What does Queen’s Leaf Tincture do?
Queen’s Leaf Tincture makes you Ascendant: This tincture causes you to see and find more secrets in the Dreaming City for 30 minutes. With it, you can
complete activities such as the strike “The Corrupted” while you are ascendant (this must be done for the cleansing ritual)
discover more secrets.
When you go exploring in the Dreaming City, you should always have a tincture with you. Otherwise, you will miss some things.
How do I obtain the tincture otherwise? The tincture is a random drop in the Dreaming City. Good sources are the chests you can open in the city, whether they are region chests or chests at the end of public events. There is also a chance for the tincture after patrols.
However, all of these sources are based on chance. If you need a Queen’s Leaf Tincture quickly and reliably because your friends want to play the Ascendant Challenge with you, you can definitely buy a tincture from the Ahamkara trader.

The MMORPG Lost Ark will start an Open Beta in South Korea in November 2018. A release in Europe, however, seems to be planned for 2020.
On Monday morning our time, a media event took place in South Korea. They are a few hours ahead of us. Smilegate spoke in detail about their plans for the launch of Lost Ark in South Korea.
When does Lost Ark start? The Open Beta of Lost Ark starts on 7.11. From then on, Lost Ark can be played constantly; previously, the beta phases were time-limited.
The launch is officially still an “Open Beta.” However, since there will be no wipe afterward and Lost Ark is based on a Free2Play model, it is a kind of “soft launch.” In South Korea, this is already the “de facto” release. The official release later is just a formality: When enough content is available, the publisher will hold an event and say, “Okay, now it’s released.”
Lost Ark – Release in Europe maybe 2020?
Are there any news about a release in Europe? There were no major news about a release in Europe or North America. According to a Reddit translation, it was mentioned in a Q&A session that they are keeping an eye on the West but want to focus first on South Korea.
Fans speculate that this could mean that Lost Ark will come to China in 2019 and to Europe and North America in 2020.
During the event, the future plans for Lost Ark were revealed. It was about how Smilegate will continue to develop Lost Ark now that it is live.
The promises here are huge and diverse:
There will be housing where you can invite NPCs through a friendship system
A lot of new content is coming: fresh zones, classes, raids, NPCs, stories
Especially the endgame will be developed further with increasingly harder raids that drop better gear
Free2Play with “Convenience Items” in South Korea
What is the business model of Lost Ark? The MMORPG will follow a typical Free2Play model in South Korea with numerous advantages that can be obtained in the cash shop, making gaming easier. Additionally, it focuses on cosmetics.
There are
skins
mounts
increased number of dungeon visits (and thereby faster items)
more inventory space
and similar things.
However, the developers say that you won’t get the best items faster by paying. Moreover, it is said that if the game comes to the West, some systems may need to be adjusted.
Can people from the West participate in the beta? That is possible, but it involves some tricks. Actually, the Open Beta is only for South Korea – anyone who wants to participate must procure an account, usually through grey market sites, and then use a VPN client to pretend to be in South Korea. Those who have done this already report a ping between 200 and 300.
The creator of Deadly Boss Mods, a popular addon for World of Warcraft, is on the brink. But players are immediately helping through the Patreon platform.
Anyone who visits dungeons or regularly goes on raids in World of Warcraft has surely heard of the interface addon “Deadly Boss Mods” – known as DBM. For many players, it is an essential extension without which they hardly would venture out.
However, the author of this addon is just one person and is entirely alone. And this person has been working around the clock on the addon. Now he has confessed his mental and physical state to the community.
An example of warnings, bars, and distance indicators in DBM.
What is Deadly Boss Mods? Deadly Boss Mods is an interface extension for World of Warcraft that helps many players. It enhances the game with timers and loud alerts whenever there is something to pay attention to.
For example, a warning appears
when a boss casts a spell that you urgently need to interrupt
or when the character needs to avoid an area effect.
Especially for players who do not want to spend much time reading up on boss fights, Deadly Boss Mods is a great help. But even inherently inattentive players can become solid group mates with it.
Who is the author? The author of the addon works under the name MysticalOS and is the only developer writing for the addon. To keep the addon up to date, he must devote nearly all of his free and working time to the project. In addition, he also cares for his 70-year-old mother, who can no longer manage many tasks on her own.
Moreover, MysticalOS cannot afford health insurance on his income and urgently needs to undergo a dental operation that he also cannot afford.
He also mentions that he literally has “no friends” – the work on the addon, which also includes constant mythic raiding, and taking care of his mother consumes all his time.
The community helps immediately: The long and moving post has had its effect. After just a few hours, the number of his supporters on Patreon increased from nearly 500 to over 1600. Although there are no exact figures, this is a monthly increase of at least $1100 – probably even significantly more.
Patreon supporters pay a monthly amount to support artists in creating something.
Meanwhile, 6 out of 7 funding goals have been reached, enabling MysticalOS to hire a second developer full-time and finally buy a new PC so he “no longer has to develop and test on a toaster”.
However, there are also voices in the community that advise against helping MysticalOS. In his post, he revealed that his “life has significantly spiraled out of control” and that anyone donating money would only be supporting this unhealthy lifestyle.
However, most players see it differently and believe that with a clearly regulated income through Patreon, much of the pressure and stress will lift off MysticalOS, and that this is a positive development. With another developer to assist, he can also spend more time on other things and finally maintain social contacts again.
What do you think of this story? Is it great that the community reacted so solidarity and helps an addon developer who has been an essential part of WoW for over 10 years?
The timing of the announcement of The Division 2, in connection with the sales, couldn’t have been better. Instead of leading to deserted servers, there has been an upswing as many new players want to try the first part before moving on to the second.
For the size and age of the game, it is in good condition. Whether there will be further patches and bug fixes in the future is currently unknown. This is what you can expect in September.
What do you think? Why does The Division remain so stable and even record new players?
The fact that there are no comparable titles on the market likely contributes to keeping players engaged with The Division, especially since there are hardly any cheaper loot-based shooters available.

To find additional competitors, one would have to look very closely; hardly any title shows similar features. Therefore, for most people who like the mix of The Division, there are hardly any alternatives left.
The Division has a long history behind it
With The Division, there is also a turbulent past that has caused mixed feelings among many fans over the years. In the initial months and beyond, the game was in a catastrophic state at times.
What problems were there? The Division had a long list of technical and gameplay shortcomings. Even before release, there was substantial criticism.
First, there was the downgrade discussion before the game was released
post-release, there was nearly a complete lack of endgame activities
the balancing was disastrous and remains one of the problem areas
and technically there were numerous issues with servers, exploits, bugs, and glitches
only with Patch 1.8 at the end of 2017 were most players happy with The Division
Some players were so discouraged, yet there was a community that survived through all these hardships.
Could this ups and downs have contributed to the current success of The Division? Not only did the community remain persistent. Massive never gave up on The Division, constantly worked on the game, and often responded to player feedback.
What does Patch 1.8 have to do with the positive trend? The Division has driven away some players in recent years. But with the release of Patch 1.8, the atmosphere changed. Active players were largely enthusiastic.
The positive feedback for this update spread across reddit, YouTube, and other channels. Enthusiastic reviews, happy players, and many returning players created a strong upswing. This rekindled attention for The Division, attracting new players.
The Division 2 affects part 1 quite differently than many would have expected
For a time, the numbers stagnated again. Many veterans struggled with motivation to even log in after the presentation of The Division 2 and countless hours spent in the predecessor.
Through the Shields, however, there is at least a small incentive for these veteran players to check in a few times a month.
Where does the increasing player count in 2018 come from? There are no certain findings on this. However, it likely relates to the presentation of The Division 2. This received positive feedback from nearly all sides.
In combination with the overall positive atmosphere after Patch 1.8, the anticipation for The Division 2 likely attracted many curious players who wanted to try the first part beforehand. Since this offers massive content and global events still occur regularly, there is enough content to keep players engaged.
The fact that The Division 1 has been heavily discounted on all platforms in recent months likely contributed to this. There have even been free weekends recently.
What is so special about The Division?
The Division is an example of how a dedicated developer team, along with a persistent community, can keep a game alive. Ubisoft should not go unmentioned here; after all, the publisher could have pulled the plug long ago when things looked bleak.
By now, The Division is a behemoth of a game, offering quite a bit for PvE fans. The PvP area remains the most critical part of the game, but it is still passionately played by parts of the community. So there is something for nearly every type of player.

For over two years, The Division has been active. During this time, there have been many highs and lows. Nevertheless, the MMO shooter currently has higher player numbers than it did six months ago. What makes The Division so special?
Even Massive is not too shocked: Despite the long time and releases of other major titles, The Division has remained steady since 2016. The number of active players has even increased in the last six months.
Old and new players are still very interested in The Division. How does Massive comment on the success of The Division? What makes the game so special that it continues to report positive numbers?
Player numbers rise – A mystery for the developer
One of the most interesting observations of recent years for The Division developers has been how little influence other titles have had on The Division’s player numbers. Although the shooter was released in early 2016, it has held strong and has a stable player base. At least, that’s what the developers say.
This is how Massive reacts to ongoing success: According to CEO David Polfeldt, many at Massive are surprised. As Polfeldt explained in an interview, the number of active players has not just remained constant; it has even risen in the last six months. Unfortunately, there are no exact figures for this.
It’s especially surprising how little influence other major titles have on The Division.
I expected more significant impacts on our player base. […] We are not particularly affected by what other games do, […]. But it is growing – it’s a mystery to me, but it works well.
Why is this case so unusual? Generally, there are various factors that determine the success and longevity of an online game. These include
the age of the game,
the competition that is on the market at the same time,
the content that is intended to motivate players to keep playing
and whether a sequel has already been announced.
Players usually leave a game when they feel that it is no longer worth their time due to the upcoming sequel.
However, despite the presentation of The Division 2 at E3 2018 this does not seem to be the case, based on what the developers say. So what is different about The Division?
The Division fundamentally has no competition
Are there really comparable games to The Division? Looking at the current gaming landscape, it must be noted: The only game that would be remotely comparable to The Division is Destiny.
Both are loot-based shooters with different rarity levels,
offer both PvP and PvE
and are designed for group activities
But that’s where the similarities end. Destiny is neither a third-person shooter nor does it have a similar setting. Destiny is set in science fantasy, while The Division can be classified as realistic.
However, Destiny and The Division are often compared, as we also did on MeinMMO some time ago.
What do you think? Why does The Division remain so stable and even record new players?
The timing of the announcement of The Division 2, in connection with the sales, couldn’t have been better. Instead of leading to deserted servers, there has been an upswing as many new players want to try the first part before moving on to the second.
For the size and age of the game, it is in good condition. Whether there will be further patches and bug fixes in the future is currently unknown. This is what you can expect in September.

The fact that there are no comparable titles on the market likely contributes to keeping players engaged with The Division, especially since there are hardly any cheaper loot-based shooters available.

To find additional competitors, one would have to look very closely; hardly any title shows similar features. Therefore, for most people who like the mix of The Division, there are hardly any alternatives left.
The Division has a long history behind it
With The Division, there is also a turbulent past that has caused mixed feelings among many fans over the years. In the initial months and beyond, the game was in a catastrophic state at times.
What problems were there? The Division had a long list of technical and gameplay shortcomings. Even before release, there was substantial criticism.
First, there was the downgrade discussion before the game was released
post-release, there was nearly a complete lack of endgame activities
the balancing was disastrous and remains one of the problem areas
and technically there were numerous issues with servers, exploits, bugs, and glitches
only with Patch 1.8 at the end of 2017 were most players happy with The Division
Some players were so discouraged, yet there was a community that survived through all these hardships.
Could this ups and downs have contributed to the current success of The Division? Not only did the community remain persistent. Massive never gave up on The Division, constantly worked on the game, and often responded to player feedback.
What does Patch 1.8 have to do with the positive trend? The Division has driven away some players in recent years. But with the release of Patch 1.8, the atmosphere changed. Active players were largely enthusiastic.
The positive feedback for this update spread across reddit, YouTube, and other channels. Enthusiastic reviews, happy players, and many returning players created a strong upswing. This rekindled attention for The Division, attracting new players.
The Division 2 affects part 1 quite differently than many would have expected
For a time, the numbers stagnated again. Many veterans struggled with motivation to even log in after the presentation of The Division 2 and countless hours spent in the predecessor.
Through the Shields, however, there is at least a small incentive for these veteran players to check in a few times a month.
Where does the increasing player count in 2018 come from? There are no certain findings on this. However, it likely relates to the presentation of The Division 2. This received positive feedback from nearly all sides.
In combination with the overall positive atmosphere after Patch 1.8, the anticipation for The Division 2 likely attracted many curious players who wanted to try the first part beforehand. Since this offers massive content and global events still occur regularly, there is enough content to keep players engaged.
The fact that The Division 1 has been heavily discounted on all platforms in recent months likely contributed to this. There have even been free weekends recently.
What is so special about The Division?
The Division is an example of how a dedicated developer team, along with a persistent community, can keep a game alive. Ubisoft should not go unmentioned here; after all, the publisher could have pulled the plug long ago when things looked bleak.
By now, The Division is a behemoth of a game, offering quite a bit for PvE fans. The PvP area remains the most critical part of the game, but it is still passionately played by parts of the community. So there is something for nearly every type of player.
The fact that there are no comparable titles on the market likely contributes to keeping players engaged with The Division, especially since there are hardly any cheaper loot-based shooters available.

With the release of the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, numerous aspects of the game have been adjusted and changed. The infusion of weapons and armor now works a bit differently. We explain what you should pay attention to when infusing.
What is Infusing? In Destiny 2, infusing or infusion refers to the mechanic where you sacrifice stronger weapons or armor pieces at a higher power level to raise the power level of certain weaker items. This allows you to continuously use and keep relevant your favorite equipment while progressing in your power level.
However, there are some factors that need to be taken into account since the release of Forsaken that are new.
1. How Infusing Works in Forsaken
Infusing Armor: Not much has changed in infusing armor. Aside from the increased costs and more materials needed, the process itself remains unchanged. You can infuse a stronger item into a weaker item from the same slot, raising the power level of the target item to the level of the “sacrifice”.
You can infuse a glove into another glove or a helmet into another helmet. Cross-slot infusing does not work. Infusing a leg armor piece into a class item will not work either. It is also not possible to infuse across classes. Therefore, you cannot sacrifice a Warlock helmet for a Hunter helmet.
Infusing Weapons: Infusing weapons now works a bit differently. While previously you could only infuse weapons of the same weapon type (exception: special weapons), in Forsaken, the respective weapon slot is crucial.
All weapons from the kinetic slot can be infused into each other – for example, hand cannons into auto rifles, shotguns into bows. The same applies to the energy and power weapon slots. Here, guardians enjoy greater freedom.
Infusing at will is no longer possible: Infusing is no longer something you can casually do with almost every newly acquired strong item in Forsaken. The targeted raising of the power level of your favorite weapons and armor should always be well considered.
As a counterbalance to the greater freedoms, infusing has become noticeably more expensive and now requires not only glimmer and legendary shards but also planetary materials and especially masterwork cores. You will need to prioritize which items are most important for you and your playstyle.
Wait before Infusing: It is therefore advisable to generally refrain from infusing until you have at least reached the first soft cap at power level 500. Many guardians even recommend waiting longer to infuse – until power level 520 or even beyond.
Starting to infuse before PL 500 is not really worth it – on the contrary. If you start strengthening your favorite items during the “hot” leveling phase, you will use up your supply of masterwork cores (if available) and materials faster than you would like. Moreover, you will receive sufficient loot up to power level 500 at relatively short intervals that will always bring you a bit closer to the soft cap.
3. Collect Planetary Materials Earnestly
Destination Materials are Important: The destination materials, such as Dawning Shards or Etheric Spirals, have now come to the forefront when infusing. They are additionally needed to infuse weapons and armor pieces in Forsaken. In other words, you should diligently farm destination materials and not redeem them with the vendors.
Fortunately, you can quickly increase your stock of materials. You can get destination materials on the respective planet – among other ways through targeted collection, completing public events or patrols, and looting chests. It is also advisable to use a ghost that marks the materials or chests at the corresponding destination for you.
Looking for Specific Materials? Here’s Where to Get Them:
Earth – Dawning Light Shard
Io – Phaseglass Needle
Titan – Alchemical Dust
Nessus – Microphasic Dataweave
Mercury – Simulation Seeds
Mars – Seraphite
Dreaming City – Etheric Spiral
Forsaken – Baryon Stem
4. Stockpile Masterwork Cores
Masterwork Cores are Extremely Important in Destiny 2: Forsaken – also for infusing. Firstly, because they are relatively rare, and secondly, because you will generally need a large quantity of them. For they are not only irreplaceable for infusing, but are also needed in large quantities to make legendary weapons and armor into masterworks.
If you want to perfect your equipment down to the last detail and keep it at the best possible power level, you need as many of them as possible. However, the sources for masterwork cores are fairly limited.
Here’s How to Get Masterwork Cores in Forsaken:
You can buy masterwork cores from Spider – the new NPC in the Dreaming City. The first core costs you 10 legendary shards. Note that the price of each subsequent core after the first purchase doubles. However, the price resets every day at 7 PM. It is advisable to purchase one to two masterwork cores from Spider daily.
You receive masterwork cores by dismantling legendary masterwork weapons or armor.
Masterwork armors from Year 1 always give you one core when dismantled. Year 1 masterwork weapons grant you one to two cores when dismantled.
After reaching character level 50, obtaining masterwork cores in Forsaken becomes a bit easier. When dismantling high-level legendary Year 2 items that already have several masterwork tiers, there’s a chance for masterwork cores – even if the respective items have not yet reached the complete masterwork upgrade level (Level 10). According to player reports, the chance for cores also increases with the masterwork tier of the item.
If you use the consumable “Finest Material Weave”, there’s a chance a masterwork core will drop on a boss kill. However, the buff lasts only until the drop. You can obtain the rare item randomly by dismantling legendary gear.
5. Infusing Duplicates is Particularly Worthwhile
Even the 10th Better Devils is Worthwhile: Duplicates of weapons and armor pieces are interesting not just due to random rolls. Infusing duplicates of an item can also be beneficial. Because infusing duplicates consumes no materials and only costs 5,000 glimmer.
Use Duplicates Wisely: So, if you have a perfectly rolled Better Devil and now find an example with a higher power level but with perks that are uninteresting to you, you can use the duplicate for infusing and save masterwork cores, destination materials, and legendary shards.
With the update 6.0 “A New Dawn” for the MMORPG AION, the developers aim to “return to the golden times”. This week, 6.0 is released in Europe. However, the new beginning does not mean that you have to miss out on a continuation of the story.
The upcoming update for AION has now been presented in more detail. The developers have also released a video showing you a first glimpse of the new zone Lakrum. There, you can expect new quests.
Innovations and Reflection on Old Values
This is what “A New Dawn” brings: Update 6.0 is intended to be a kind of new beginning for the MMORPG AION, with which the developers want to return to the golden times of online gaming. In its home country South Korea, the patch has indeed led to a resurgence, also because AION became free-to-play with the update.
For starters, some changes are finding their way into the game:
The enchantment system of the game has been changed so that failed enchantment attempts no longer result in the enchanted item breaking
In addition, the leveling progression rate for levels 1 to 75 has been increased. This is intended to allow for a faster and more enjoyable ascent
Players should be able to reach the new content of A New Dawn faster
What new content is included? Despite a return to old virtues, update 6.0 will also take steps forward by introducing additional content.
The brand new zone of Lakrum, where you must stop the eerie Ereshkigal before she can execute her plan to steal the sacred treasures of AION
Two new instanced dungeons: the Prometun’s Workshop for six players and the solo dungeon “Kubrinerk Cube Laboratory.”
Upcoming release: In just a few days, on September 19th, update 6.0 “A New Dawn” will be released for the MMORPG AION. Then you will see for yourself how the online game changes with the adjustments and innovations.
With the release of Forsaken, Destiny 2 has fundamentally changed. This includes the drop rate of exotic items – whether they are weapons or armor pieces. Because with exotics, players are currently seldom rewarded in the game. We want to know from you: How do you feel about it?
At the beginning of Destiny 2, players were literally flooded with exotics, but in Forsaken one can experience the other extreme. Almost two weeks since the release of the major autumn expansion, it quickly becomes apparent: The drop rate of the most coveted weapons and armors has been reduced – and noticeably so.
The Exotic Drop Rate in Forsaken – A Heated Debate
The community is discussing: The rare exotic drops are being vigorously debated on Reddit and in numerous forums. Many players report that after more than 50 hours of gameplay, they have only received a few exotics.
Some users state that they have not seen a single piece of exotic gear (except for the Pikass) – some even after more than 100 hours of playtime invested.
Even Xur has not been of any help. Because so far, the noodle face has only had Year-1 exotics available.
Is the drop rate now too low? The current predominant sentiment within the community: One person’s joy is another’s sorrow. While the current state has many supporters, it also has many opponents.
What Supporters of the Low Drop Rate Say
Good loot should be rare: The fundamental attitude of many supporters is that exotic items are mostly the best and strongest gear in the game and should therefore be rare.
Moreover, the hunt for rare gear is exactly what keeps many guardians engaged in the long term – like when it came to the Gjallarhorn in Destiny 1. This makes the hobby aspect more noticeable again.
The approach at launch was not optimal: The path that Destiny 2 started at the beginning, where players could get almost all exotics together in just a few weeks, was considered exaggerated by large parts of the community.
Additionally, many exotics were long unworthy of their designation. Only through numerous revisions did they become increasingly attractive to guardians.
This is how it should be: By lowering the drop rate, increasing the RNG factor, and improving the exotics, what many fans have long desired is now being achieved – rare and attractive gear that is worth grinding for days, weeks, or even months.
Furthermore, there are also exotic quests like for the Whisper Sniper, for the Pikass, or for Chaperon that offer exotic gear.
Arguments Against a Low Drop Rate
No fun without reward: Many guardians, however, believe that it is depressing and demotivating to invest dozens of hours or more in a game and then not be rewarded accordingly.
If one has gone more than 50 hours of playtime and completed the most challenging activities without seeing an exotic, it destroys any incentive to invest more time in the game – especially when none of the exciting new exotics can be tried out.
More secure sources for exotics if drop rate stays the same: It is often read that guardians wish for more exotic quests or other secure ways to get exotics when the drop rate is reduced so drastically.
It would enhance the enjoyment of the game if one could earn strong exotic gear through effort and dedication – without having to rely completely on the random factor (RNG).
Casual players have it hard: Furthermore, it is criticized that particularly guardians with little time are disadvantaged. If the drop rate for exotics remains so low, they will hardly enjoy new exotics.
In view of the new exotic gear, this is very unfortunate. In the past, Xur always proved to be a reliable exotic source for players with little time, but whether that will remain the case is still uncertain. Because the last time, his inventory only consisted of Year-1 exotics. Whether and how often Year-2 items will be offered by him remains to be seen.
What do you think of the current drop rate for exotic gear?
In this context, we have prepared a survey for you and want to know what you think of the current drop rate for exotic items.

These are the fastest players in FIFA 19. We sort them by position and provide Pace and Rating. Here you will find the fastest strikers, the fastest midfielders, and the fastest defenders.
The importance of Pace: Pace or “Tempo” is shown on the player cards in FUT 19, indicating how fast a player is. This value consists of the individual stats “Acceleration” and “Sprint Speed” and plays an important role in the team-building for many fans.
Because pace can be decisive in the game: If a nimble striker or winger has escaped the defense line, hardly anyone can catch up with him. However, fast defenders have the chance to catch up with attackers.
Ihlas Bebou – 93 Pace, 76 Rating (RM, Hannover) – Many more with 93 Pace
The fastest player: While Mbappé has 96 for Acceleration and 96 for Sprint Speed, Adama has 96 for Sprint Speed and 97 for Acceleration. So Adama has the Standard card with the best Pace value in FUT:
The fastest player overall in FUT 19 is the icon Ronaldo – however, he does not count among the Standard cards:
A new clip from Twitch star Ninja impresses players in Fortnite. The clip shows how to clean up in Tilted Towers, even when on the verge of death: with a certain coolness.
Although Tilted Towers was slightly changed with patch 5.40, introducing a new building to the focal point, Tilted Towers is still the “hotspot” in Fortnite. Many players land here for quick action and good loot. How to clean up properly in Tilted Towers is demonstrated by star player Ninja.
What is the situation? The clip is from a 4-man match. Ninja and his team consisting of DrLupo, TimtheTatman, and Mad Ruski land in Tilted Towers at the start of the match. After some fights, Ninja already has a starting gear but no materials, and he has dropped down to 4HP.
If just one opponent looks at him wrong, Ninja would fall.
Other players might retreat in that situation, but Ninja goes on a killing spree.

What is special about the clip? The special thing here is that a single shot or hit in Ninja’s direction would immediately send him to the ground. But that never happens. With a mix of quick reflexes and patience, Ninja methodically takes down his opponents.
The coolness with which he does it is impressive. You can see that he sometimes lets opponents come to him and waits until he has them in his sights.
The opponents in this clip are surely not top-tier, but it’s the sheer coolness that stands out. It is interesting that Ninja has no materials for building – he can only win with shooting skills.
This is how fans react: The clip has now received 19,905 likes on Twitter. One user comments, visibly impressed: I couldn’t do that even with 400 HP.
Who is Ninja? Behind the nickname Ninja is Tyler Blevins. A former esports athlete who made a name for himself in Halo. Now he is a full-time streamer.
With the rise of Fortnite in January 2018, Blevins also made a steep career on Twitch. He is now by far the largest streamer in the world. His channel has over 10 million followers.
