Is FIFA 19 worth it for Pro Clubs fans? – Mode comes without innovations

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

Is FIFA 19 worth it for players who primarily play Pro Clubs? EA Sports provides few arguments. There are neither innovations nor extensive improvements. 

Nothing changes in Pro Clubs: At Gamescom 2018, EA Sports announced that there will be practically no innovations in the popular modes “Career” and “Pro Clubs”. While a few fresh contents were mentioned for Career Mode, like the introduction of the Champions League, they remained completely silent on Pro Clubs.

Pro Clubs without Champions League: Not even the Champions League, which otherwise runs through all modes in FIFA 19, will be integrated into Pro Clubs. This was confirmed by Gamespot in a conversation with gameplay producer Sam Rivera. In fact, there will be no changes of any kind, according to Gamespot, in the club mode of FIFA 19 compared to FIFA 18.

FIFA 18 Pro Clubs

Is there even a point in buying FIFA 19 for Pro Clubs players?

No changes, no new features in Pro Clubs

No new modes: Weeks and months ago, club fans created lists of innovations they want for the long-stale Pro Clubs mode in FIFA 19. These included new modes, more interaction options, more customization options, and much more. However, FIFA 19 will proceed as before. You can play online seasons, cup matches, or casual matches – that’s it.

Are there also no new customizations? Early beta testers confirmed that nothing will change in Pro Clubs. Not even the menu has been altered:

club-fifa-19
The Pro Clubs menu of the FIFA 19 beta

The player attributes that you unlock with skill points are still the same as in the predecessor, and no new customization options for the Pro could be found – things like hairstyles. Only a few new shoes were discovered:

Some fans are now wondering whether FIFA 19 is even worth it for them. After all, one could just continue playing FIFA 18 if they only want to play Pro Clubs, right?

Pro Clubs still has a few improvements

Is nothing really changing in Pro Clubs? Aside from a few new shoes, nothing specific is changing in Pro Clubs, no. However, the club mode benefits from some innovations that affect FIFA 19 as a whole – namely the gameplay and graphics.

With the gameplay innovations this year, a new optional shooting system will be introduced that allows you to hit the goal more reliably if you have good timing. In addition, the Active Touch System elevates ball control and reception to a higher level, and the 50/50 Battles feature ensures that players on the field fight more intensely for the ball and display a “true instinct”.

Moreover, EA Sports is adjusting the graphics a bit and integrating new player animations for more realism.

The new league licenses and the new stadiums can also be chosen in Pro Clubs.

Is FIFA 19 worth it for me if I mainly play Pro Clubs?

FIFA 19 is not worth it if

  • You expect many innovations and “more to do” in Pro Clubs
  • You exclusively play Pro Clubs and don’t care about other modes
  • You don’t need the latest FIFA every year, but enjoy sticking with one FIFA for several years. FIFA 19 offers too few arguments for Pro Clubs alone
  • You are satisfied with FIFA 18’s gameplay and can wait for coming years until there are more changes in Pro Clubs
  • You mainly care about playing with your friends in Pro Clubs, who are all sticking with FIFA 18

FIFA 19 is worth it if

  • You also play other modes like FUT, The Journey, or Kick-off alongside Pro Clubs
  • You want to experience the latest gameplay innovations with fresh skill moves and new celebration animations in FIFA 19
  • You absolutely want to wear the logos and kits of the new teams introduced in FIFA 19
  • You want to stay up to date and don’t want to endure longer matchmaking in previous FIFA titles
  • You mainly care about playing with your friends in Pro Clubs, who are all buying FIFA 19

Pro Clubs urgently needs innovations

Pro Clubs fans have been complaining for years that EA Sports is letting the club mode wither away. There is so much untapped potential in this mode, as is often read in the forums. After all, Pro Clubs offers the largest online experience of the FIFA series.

Consequently, fans are now frustrated and angry that nothing will change in FIFA 19.

EA is listening: Sam Rivera informed that they are listening to the fans. They know they are very passionate and expect more and bigger things for Pro Clubs. Currently, there are discussions at EA about what to add to the mode in the future. But that’s all he could say about new Pro Clubs at this time.

Black Desert Remastered was worth it according to the publisher

Lucas Kaczynski Lucas Kaczynski Reading time 3 minutes

The update Black Desert Remastered has brought a surge of new players to the Asia MMO and prompted old players to take another look. After a rather moderate start in August, player numbers have risen again. What is the reason for this?

Players of Black Desert often complain about the state of the game. Pay2Win discussions flare up regularly. However, Black Desert Remastered seems to appeal to the majority of players. This is reflected in the numbers.

Old players are coming back

Number of returnees doubles: It is normal for a game to eventually lose steam. Players play something else and later return when new updates have expanded the game.

Black Desert Remastered Ruine

In the meantime, Kakao Games and Pearl Abyss have published the number of new and returning players:

  • The number of returning players has doubled due to the Remastered version. 103.6% more old players, compared to the previous week, have come back
  • New players also seem to have enjoyed the update. The number of these players has increased by 24.2% faster than in the comparison period

Black Desert Remastered has managed to bring some of the old players to check out the changes in the update. At the same time, new players have joined.

The developer worked long on Black Desert Remastered

Something big is coming: The publisher behind the game, Pearl Abyss, already published information about Black Desert Remastered in early 2017. Initial screenshots from the upcoming update surfaced. Players were told that they plan to refine the game’s graphics using YEBIS, a tool for graphic effects.

The first reactions from players to the graphic effects were rather reserved. They worried that this would lead to more frequent FPS drops. In their eyes, YEBIS was just an expensive Sweet FX. Sweet FX is a tool that allows players to improve the visual effects of their games.

Black-Desert-Silicon

Overall, Black Desert Remastered created a more positive atmosphere among players. And this has probably also reflected in the player numbers.

von Lucas Kaczynski

An orchestra records music: Then at the end of 2017, it became known that the music of the game would be recorded by several symphony orchestras. A German orchestra also worked on the remastered soundtrack.

Listen here, how a German symphony orchestra plays for Black Desert
von Schuhmann

The first reactions from players to the revised music varied. Some players appreciate the new soundtrack. It sounds more intense. However, a large portion of players play Black Desert without music. For them, a newly recorded soundtrack that they would never hear would be a waste of money.

Black Desert struggled a bit before Remastered

As successful as in late 2017: In the month before the release of Black Desert Remastered, the number of players decreased. From 13,250 players daily (July 31, 2018) to 10,547 players (August 15, 2018). The month prior to Black Desert Remastered was about as strong as November 2017. In addition to two new world bosses, there was mainly information about the mobile offshoot Black Desert Mobile. There was certainly room for improvement.

Black-Desert-neu

Release sparks player interest: However, with Black Desert Remastered, the number of daily players of the Steam version increased by about 3,000. Player feedback also turned out to be more positive than usual. Black Desert Remastered was praised by many players. Some even reported an improvement in performance on their old machines due to the update.

However, there was also criticism from some players:

  • It was mainly pointed out that lens flares could not be turned off. Otherwise, the update would be great
  • Some players did not like the new soundtrack

Overall, Black Desert Remastered created a more positive atmosphere among players. And this has probably also reflected in the player numbers.

Which edition is worth it for me?

If you are among the FIFA fans who eagerly dive into the latest football simulation from EA Sports every year at the end of September to immediately start with FUT, Pro Clubs, or Career Mode, then you will have to consider the Champions or Ultimate Edition. These editions of FIFA 19 cost quite a bit more than the Standard Edition, but for many fans, three days can be a long time – one that can be torturous when you have to watch others play.

  • Choose the Standard Edition if you do not want to play FIFA 19 FUT intensively, but rather prefer Career Mode, Pro Clubs, or The Journey, and don’t mind starting a few days later.
  • Choose the Champions Edition if you are already excited about FIFA 19 and want some advantages in FUT. Whether the Champions Edition is worth it for you can be found out here.
  • Choose the Ultimate Edition if you also want to start right away and especially plan to play FUT 19 intensively and for months.

SCUM removes Nazi tattoo that they previously sold for 8.19€

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The new game SCUM is having a steep success ride. However, a tattoo with Nazi symbols in the game has now been removed.

SCUM is the game of the moment. A tough survival game about convicted criminals fighting for their survival. SCUM focuses on realism, but now overly realistic Nazi tattoos have been discovered in the game. These caused problems.

What kind of tattoo was it? It concerns a tattoo on the back of the head that contains Nazi symbolism. The tattoo shows, for example, “Nazi numbers”:

  • 14 – stands for 14 words, which is a quote from a U.S. racist
  • 88 stands for “HH” – Heil Hitler

These symbols and an Iron Cross were found in a tattoo that players could tattoo on their character’s back of the head.

The visible “A.C.A.B.” is the abbreviation for “All Cops are Bastards”, which is more like a gangster slogan.

Scum-Symbol
The tattoo in question: Image via Reddit

How did players get the tattoo? The tattoo was included in the “Scum Supporter Pack” that was sold concurrently with the game. It is available for €8.19 on Steam and is an additional DLC with cosmetics.

Publisher says: We condemn this

What the publisher says Publisher Devolver Digital stated (via Polygon), they had used tattoos to portray a realistic picture of the terrible prison culture.

However, they do not agree with the use of such hate symbols – no matter what purpose they serve. They distance themselves from the symbols.

Devolver Digital agrees that these symbols should never have made it into the game and apologizes for it.

They present it as if they were only now made aware of these tattoos and their meanings.

SCUM-Neu
This is what the tattoo looks like now.

What has happened now? The Nazi symbols have been removed from the game. The publisher wants to carefully scrutinize and review all assets.

Developers initially cited artistic freedom

What is behind this? The developers of the Croatian studio Gamepires had initially defended the use of the symbols in the discussion (via GameStar). They denied the Nazi accusations and stated that the game only depicts things as ugly as they are.

Anyone who is outraged about this should seek solutions elsewhere and not in SCUM. They cited artistic freedom.

Ultimately, however, they still removed the symbols.

SCUM-Apfel

It is quite conceivable that the Croatian developers reacted under pressure from the U.S. publisher. It seems they did not remove the symbols out of conviction.

The fact that the publisher now wants to comb the game for similar symbols suggests that Devolver will be more involved with this unexpected hit.

Other games had issues with hate symbols in-game:

Shitstorm wins again – Star Citizen relents on $$$ livestream

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Once again, the angry protest from fans on the internet wins out in Star Citizen. The livestream for CitizenCon will be free after all.

Yesterday, CIG CEO Chris Roberts staunchly defended the decision to charge money for the livestream of CitizenCon. But the people with pitchforks have won.

This is what happened: The livestream for CitizenCon 2018 was supposed to be the first one that required payment. This was sharply criticized by fans, fan sites, and critical observers of Star Citizen. A company that has received so much money from the community cannot behave this way.

The head of Star Citizen, Chris Roberts, justified the decision yesterday by stating the increased costs of the event. However, he already backtracked and assured that the opening speech and the closing event would be free. Additionally, everything would be professionally available on YouTube later – completely free of charge.

But apparently, that was still not enough to calm the tempers.

This is what Chris Roberts says now: Chris Roberts made a post in the official forum.

After sleeping on it for a night, I will chalk this up as a learning experience.

We will now save costs on the livestreaming crew. However, we will offer both stages in the livestream for everyone with a Star Citizen user account.

The content creators of Star Citizen are also invited to further spread our stream.

If you want to help us cover the increased costs of the streaming, you can purchase one of the CitizenCon digital goodie packs.

star-citizen-polaris

High Standards or Greed?

What are the positions? It is a relatively complicated situation that shows how far developers and the community are apart.

  • Chris Roberts presents it as if he wanted to deliver the best possible outcome for fans, went a bit overboard, realized how much all of this costs, and then wanted to involve fans financially. From his perspective, people were outraged over a trivial matter and not the issue itself.
  • For critics, however, the action came across as greedy, as if they were trying to squeeze more money out of a promotional event.
Terrapin-Star-Citizen

What’s behind this: Interestingly, the ‘internet protest’ has won again. Since Electronic Arts buckled under a raging shitstorm during the angry protest over Star Wars Battlefront 2 in late 2017, this seems to be developing into the trend of the year.

Developers make controversial decisions, internet forums explode, and if the uproar is loud enough, the developer ultimately backs down. We can now observe this repeatedly.

WoW: „Die Barden-Klasse würde dem Spiel viel Charakter verleihen“

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

We spoke at Gamescom with some developers from WoW. What they think about a possible bard class was revealed in our interview.

At Gamescom 2018, we had the opportunity to speak with some employees from Blizzard about World of Warcraft. In our interview with Michael Bybee, one of the Senior Game Producers, we also discussed classes that WoW might get in the future.

We asked the question: “Which of these traditional RPG classes would fit best into WoW: Necromancer, Berserker or Bard?”

“When thinking about the Berserker, that is something that is probably already well represented in the Fury Warrior. The Necromancer as well – there are many little pieces that exist in the Death Knight or the Warlock. So these two are well represented.”

WoW Human asking orc battle for azeroth

This also corresponds with Blizzard’s past statements that a Necromancer would probably not differ enough from the Warlock and Death Knight. After that, Bybee focused more on the Bard:

“Of everything you mentioned, the Bard is probably the closest to what World of Warcraft doesn’t have yet. So we are definitely not planning anything right now and are also not ready to talk about a new character class. But just for fun: I believe a Bard would add a lot of character to the game.”

However, a new class would also always bring problems. As Lead Environment Artist Ely Cannon pointed out:

“We just went through a major revamp of all classes. With something like this, you always have to keep balance in mind.”

WoW Lordaeron Sylvanas Smuck grin

What would you think about being able to enter battle as a Bard someday and empower players with healing or encouraging songs? Or how would you design a Bard class in World of Warcraft?

In the interview, we also asked about another thing:

Fortnite: With Update 5.4 the storm gets nastier, a weapon is removed

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the developers have already revealed what to expect in the upcoming patch 5.4. It is likely to arrive on Tuesday and aims to make the endgame more exciting. A dev update from Epic gives us a preview of the patch notes.

Most of the time, we enter the patch week for Fortnite relatively clueless. This time, Epic is telling us exactly what will happen in update 5.4.

Storm edges deal damage to player buildings: The biggest change in the next patch will be that the edges of the storm will already affect the end zone and destroy player buildings there. This is supposed to happen only at the end of each match.

Epic says this only affects the 10% of Fortnite matches that last until the final storm phase.

Fortnite-Rift

What’s behind this? Good players often engage in a “build-off” in close quarters at the end of a match, where both construct huge buildings to outdo each other. This is expected to become even more chaotic now.

As Epic demonstrates, buildings will collapse in the tightest quarters, and the “build-offs” will take on a new twist from the outside.

A weapon disappears

Revolver gone: Epic will remove the revolver from the game with the next patch. It may return in a modified form later. For now, it’s gone.

Epic is doing this to keep Fortnite fresh. They announce that with Season 6, more items will temporarily disappear.

However, it is also possible that the patch will be released on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday of next week. That has happened before.

FIFA 19: Celebration Tutorial – How to do the Dab!

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 19 there are numerous running and finishing movements for the goal celebration. Among them is the world-renowned Dab dance.

“What, the Dab is in the game!? How do you do it?” This question is currently being asked by numerous fans who play FIFA. However, this celebration is not indicated in-game as “Dab”. So what do you need to press to “dab” after scoring a goal?

We show the key combinations for PS4 and Xbox One.

The Dab Dance – Celebration Action

If you go to the pause menu during the match, you can access the “Celebration” page. There you will find the key combinations for all movements that your players can perform after scoring a goal.

The Dab is referred to here as “Elbow”. You perform it by holding R1 (PS4) / RB button (Xbox One) and tapping Triangle / Y twice. And just like that, you are happily dabbing, as Pogba likes to show (see title image).

Ashes of Creation should be a showcase MMO for the Unreal Engine

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

In our conversation with Intrepid Studios founder Steven Sharif and lead designer Jeffrey Bard at Gamescom, we also discussed the use of Unreal Engine for the MMORPG Ashes of Creation.

The Unreal Engine produces fantastic graphics on screen but has performance issues with open-world online games. The MMORPG Bless Online demonstrated this. Will Ashes of Creation face the same problem?

Unreal Engine serves as a base

Unreal Engine is optimized for Ashes of Creation: The development team is primarily glad to have such a stable base as Unreal Engine 4 and not having to program an engine from scratch. Unreal Engine 4 already has many tools and features that can be utilized. However, modifications are also necessary to achieve the performance that an MMORPG requires.

Intrepid Studios has a special engineering team that modifies the source code of the engine to reshape it so that the features needed for Ashes of Creation can be integrated. This includes a network infrastructure for MMOs that is not included in the base engine. And here is where the experience of the programmers comes into play, who know exactly what they are doing as they have done this a hundred times before.

von Andreas Bertits

A proprietary engine can never compete with existing ones: Steven Sharif and Jeffrey Bard also explain that an existing engine such as Unreal, Unity, Lumberyard, or Cryengine is always a better choice than developing a proprietary engine. One can never compete with such products. One needs a dedicated team for the engine, which must be continuously expanded and optimized. With an existing engine, such a team is already behind it, with whom one simply collaborates and gets what one needs.

Ashes of Creation aims to become the MMORPG prestige game for Epic Games

Ashes of Creation is a kind of showcase product for Epic Games: As for Epic Games, the company has recognized that Unreal Engine 4 can play a significant role in the MMO market and therefore sees Ashes of Creation as a kind of prestige object that must be particularly supported. To demonstrate that Unreal Engine can also be used for MMORPGs. Hence, Epic Games supports the Intrepid Studios wherever possible.

“Using Unreal Engine is like having our own engine,” they say in the interview. “Why should we build a new car when we have the option to buy an available car whose engine can be optimized to get the best out of it?”

von Andreas Bertits

The developers are very optimistic: Regarding the sieges in the game, Intrepid Studios aims to have 500 players per battlefield. They admit that this presents a challenge with Unreal Engine, but they know exactly what they need to do to make it work. And here, the upcoming Alpha 1 will play a role. Because with it, the performance will also be tested, and corresponding adjustments will be made.

In battlegrounds, 100 players will meet, and in the sieges, initially 200. Additionally, there will be a mode where 50 players must defend a city against bosses and NPCs. From there, the performance will be continuously improved to allow more and more players until 500 players for conquests and 10,000 players per server becomes possible.

Destiny 2: You can safely dismantle these items before Forsaken

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

With the upcoming expansion, there will be significant changes to the item economy in Destiny 2. We’ve listed which items you can safely dismantle before Forsaken and which ones you should still keep.

Along with Forsaken, new weapons and armor will come, as well as changes to existing items for Destiny 2 players. With regard to the upcoming collections, we’ve put together a brief overview of which items you can part with without remorse and which you should absolutely keep until Forsaken.

Destiny 2 Shader

Shaders

Bungie will overhaul the often-criticized shader system with Forsaken. It is planned that the colorful consumables can be drawn from the new collections with the expansion. This way, players should have access to all shaders they have already obtained at any time, provided they possess the necessary resources.

Applying shaders is intended to be free with Forsaken, while drawing consumables will require the respective “currency”. For instance, you’ll receive Eververse shaders for Glimmer Dust, while others cost Legendary Shards or Glimmer.

According to Bungie, the game will track which shaders you have already unlocked. This means that you can delete shaders currently in your inventory without any guilt.

destiny-2-rahool-shader

And it’s just in time, because with Patch 2.0.0, the long-desired mass deletion of shaders will be introduced. However, there are two small caveats: You can only delete stacks of five shaders at a time and not directly in your inventory. For mass deletion, you’ll need to visit the Cryptarch, who has this option hidden on the second page of his offerings.

Mods

The mods in Destiny 2 will undergo a fundamental change with Forsaken. This means that your current Year 1 mods will be useless with the upcoming expansion. So you can already delete them to recover the still-valuable mod components.

It is best to convert your blue mods to legendary mods at Gunsmith Banshee. Dismantling legendary mods will guarantee you mod components. However, dismantling blue mods has only a certain chance of yielding components.

von Sven Galitzki

Legendary Weapons and Armor

Forsaken will of course bring a lot of new gear that will have random rolls. This just begs to clear out your vault again. Additionally, you will still find the weapon parts and legendary shards useful in the expansion.

Bungie stated that all weapons and armor you received after the Warmind DLC will also be stored in the upcoming collections. The vault space has been expanded again, so you should still have enough space for the new items.

If you still want to clean up but want to ensure that you don’t destroy any gear that you can’t pull from the collections, you should visit the website Destinysets.com. By linking your account, you can see which weapons and armor will be in your collection.

destiny-2-forsaken-poe-titan

Items You Should Definitely Keep

Weapon parts, Vanguard and Crucible and Iron Banner tokens, mod components, legendary shards, as well as masterwork cores and destination materials will remain relevant even in Forsaken.

Planet tokens have not been issued since Patch 2.0.0 and have been replaced by destination materials, but can still be exchanged for reputation.

Project Genesis: Verdient Kryptowährung im Weltraum

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With Project Genesis, a new online survival game has been announced, combining first-person shooter battles with space combat. Furthermore, cryptocurrency is involved.

The developer studio 8 Circuit aims to try something new with Project Genesis. The game is not just a pure online survival game; space battles also play a role.

Project Genesis Screenshot 2

Survive in Space

Humanity at War: In the future, humanity finds itself at war once again. The conflict revolves around the most important resources in space. However, since there are only a few humans left, they remotely control spaceships through AI from a safe distance to search for raw materials. This AI, however, develops a life of its own and must decide whether to execute the humans’ plans or take its fate into its own hands.

Space Flight and Exploration: In the game, you explore space with your ship. If you discover a wreck, you board it in first-person view and collect resources there. However, it does not always go peacefully. In space, you will also encounter ships from other players that will attack you. Even aboard the wrecks, conflicts can arise.

Sometimes hectic, sometimes calm: In Project Genesis, space battles alternate with first-person shooter skirmishes on shipwrecks. Both types of combat play out differently.

  • The first-person battles are fast and hectic, as one is used to from shooters
  • The space battles are more leisurely and somewhat reminiscent of the fights from Dreadnought
Project Genesis Screenshot 3

Cryptocurrency Plays an Important Role

Capture Ships to Earn Rewards: If you’ve spotted an enemy ship in space, a battle ensues. If you emerge victorious, you board the ship and defeat the enemies there. You destroy control points and eventually gain control over the spaceship yourself. This grants you rewards in the form of EXP, better weapons, ammunition, and in-game currency.

Cryptocurrency in the Game: Project Genesis uses an innovative method to incorporate cryptocurrency into the game. The currency Ethereum is utilized. Players can earn this currency while playing or acquire it through other means and use it to purchase assets like new ships and weapons. According to the developers, these can even be transferred to other games from the studio. Thus, items purchased have value not only in one game but in multiple.

Further details about the game will follow soon. A release date has not yet been announced.

The most popular helmet from Monster Hunter World is now available for PC!

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

Capcom has released the new event quests for Monster Hunter World and he is back: The Wiggler Head! Every experienced hunter knows that this is actually the best helmet in the game. The Wiggler Head is available for PC.

Not particularly good, but funny: It quickly became the most popular helmet in the community, and that’s no surprise. The Wiggler Head looks so goofy that one can overlook its mediocre stats. With its long neck, the helmet wobbles and sways with every movement of the hunters.

It has also been used for numerous GIFs, dances, and memes and generally represents just casual fun in the game.

Monster Hunter Wiggler GIF from Monsterhunter GIFs

Complete the event quest “Let it wiggle!” for the helmet

How to get the helmet: 

  • Be at least Hunter Rank 11 – How to rank up in Hunter Rank
  • Accept the quest “Let it wiggle!”. This is a delivery mission
  • Go to the Coral Highlands, Area 1
  • Catch 10 Wigglers here with the Bug Net. How to catch monsters and pets
  • As a reward, you will receive Wiggler Tickets. You need a total of 3 for the helmet

Tip for catching: The Wigglers are shy and disappear as soon as you get close. Approach them carefully and crouched, or simply equip the Ghillie Mantle. It makes you invisible.

Here is a detailed guide and the stats of the Wiggler Head.

The events are active until September 9: Which ones are still worth it?

Besides the Wiggler, there are of course other event quests. Until September 9, you can complete the limited-time events, then a new rotation begins.

These quests are still interesting for their rewards:

  • Just before sunrise (JR 11): For more Zorah Magdaros materials
  • Wild Wurm Bolero (JR 13): For increased chance of gold crowns for Kulu-Ya-Ku, Barroth, Rathian, Diablos
  • Feeling dizzy (JR 13): For Armor Spheres II and Armor Spheres III

Will you make it wiggle properly now in Monster Hunter World?

Tell us: How does your partner react to your love for Destiny?

Destiny can be a time-consuming and all-consuming game. But how do your partners deal with your second love? Do they understand, or is every one of your evenings as a Guardian associated with stress? Share your stories with us on Mein MMO.

Destiny 1 was fully embraced as a hobby by many Guardians. It’s not uncommon for other pastimes to take a back seat. While long raid nights and the “really last 10 minutes” went harmoniously for some couples, elsewhere many relationships were put to a tough test.

For not every girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse understands the tough virtual Guardian life – even if one does not neglect any of one’s real-life commitments.

What about you? How does your partner feel about your Destiny passion?

Destiny 2 is increasingly turning into a hobby with the Forsaken expansion. We want to know how your partner deals with your great passion.

  • Do you have to fight for every free minute in the Destiny universe?
  • Does your partner see this absolutely calmly and lets you play at your desired times?
  • Or do you have to make crazy compromises that are already infamous among your fellow Guardians?

This is how our author Sven feels

First up is our Destiny expert Sven: Personally, I received a lot of generous freedom from my wife for a long time and was able to treat Destiny 1 like a real hobby. Whether spontaneous raids or long Iron Banner sessions until the early morning hours – that was never a problem, as long as family life and work did not fall short.

However, with the addition of family and the increasing age of the kids, gaming took a back seat more and more.

destiny 2 kriegsgeist ikelos hunter titan

Dad increasingly focused on leveling up his little lights instead of his beloved Hunter. Instead of leveling the Arcstrider subclass, he worked on the goalkeeping skill tree of the football class or made a hunt for the coveted exotic seahorse emblem.

And since my job at MeinMMO, gameplay time has to be fought for even harder. Although my wife is still unusually lenient when it comes to my time in Guardian attire, the evenings where every extra minute in the game has to be fought for with ten minutes of argument are increasing. Because if you spend the whole day with Destiny, at some point, understanding falls short for the fact that Destiny still often remains the focus after work.

But I must say: Since I’ve had to fight more for my gaming time in Destiny, the actual playing feels much more satisfying and intense than ever before.

And when it matters, there is always a green light from the boss. Because she knows exactly that Destiny is more than just a game for me, but really a matter of the heart. Thanks for that once again.

Destiny 2: Xur today – Location and Offer on 31.08.

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

As every Friday in Destiny 2, Xur is back today. But starting today, things are different. Where is the Agent of the Nine this time and what items does he have for sale? Here are the location and inventory on August 31.

destiny-2-xur

Today, on August 31, the mysterious Agent of the Nine is reappearing in the Destiny universe. Let’s welcome Xur together – for the last time before Forsaken. What does the noodle face have for us this time?

All info about Xur in Destiny 2 on August 31 on PS4, Xbox One and PC

When is Xur coming?

Destiny 2 EDZ

Xur visits us every Friday at 7 PM. He then chooses a quiet spot on a planet or moon of his choice, from where he can unobtrusively deliver his goods to the Guardians. You have until the next weekly reset on Tuesday to browse his inventory – then he disappears without a trace.

Where is Xur? At this location, you can find him today

Xur remains a mystery: Xur has specific positions where he likes to settle down over the weekend. But for the first time since the release of Destiny 2, it is no longer known exactly where.

Position no longer predictable: Because Xur’s arrival was previously tied to the Flashpoints, so that one could know days in advance where the Agent of the Nine would appear, his location is no longer displayed on the map since the Update 2.0.0.

As it was back in the times of Destiny 1, you now have to go searching for Xur. The Agent of the Nine can now appear anywhere. Bungie will no longer provide any information about Xur.

Destiny 2_20180831191719

Here is where Xur is this weekend: Xur is at his usual position in the EDZ (Earth) on the cliff in the northern part of the winding bay.

Offer and inventory of Xur

Attention: The visit could be worth it! All items except the weapon now have various new perks to choose from – including those drawn from the Fate Engram!

Weapon: Prometheus Lens – Fusion Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards

Hunter: Weak Head Radar – Helmet for 23 Legendary Shards.

  • 1st Perk Tree: Increased Resilience, Improved Health Regeneration
  • 2nd Perk Tree: Bow Aiming, Hand Cannon Aiming, Packed
  • 3rd Perk Tree: Shotgun Reserves, Heavy Ammo Finder

Titan: Ashen Watcher – Gauntlets for 23 Legendary Shards

  • 1st Perk Tree: Increased Resilience, Improved Health Regeneration

  • 3rd Perk Tree: Scout Rifle Reserves, Special Ammo Finder

Fate Engram: 97 Legendary Shards

Additionally, Xur still has Three of Coins for 31 Legendary Shards.

By the way: His Fate Engrams will only drop Exotics from Year 1. The new Forsaken Exotics will not be included in these Engrams.

Fortnite is starting soon “High Stakes” – the 1st new skin looks fantastic

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) is getting an event week called “High Stakes” soon. It features a cool new skin that seems to hint at a new game mode.

What is High Stakes all about? High Stakes means “High Stakes” and describes a situation where you take a big risk for a potential big reward. This term is commonly used in high-stakes poker rounds.

Starting next week, the event week of the same name is supposed to take place in Fortnite, with the first content possibly being seen at the PAX event in the USA this weekend.

New game mode a la “Save the President”?

What is this cool new skin? What exactly will happen in the High Stakes event is still unclear. However, Epic has already released a first image of it on Twitter. It shows the cool new skin named “Wild Card”.

The outfit looks like John Wick in a white suit with a mask showing a heart like from a playing card. The “cards” theme fits the High Stakes motto of the event week.

Fortnite introduces new mode: Getaway

What is the Getaway mode? Interestingly, the skin carries a suitcase with handcuffs. So, there is probably something super valuable inside. This may relate to a mysterious new game mode called Getaway.

Fortnite-Rift

Everyone against one? It’s quite possible that in this game mode you must find a suitcase in the game world and escape with it (Getaway means “to get away”). Perhaps all other players will hunt the suitcase carrier, while another part of the players will protect him.

Getaway would then be something like a “Protect the President” game mode. In this mode, one player is the “President” and the rest of the team must protect him. This mode has already been unofficially re-enacted by various streamers in a regular Fortnite round.

What the new mode and the skin exactly mean, we will find out at the earliest on PAX.

Fight against gods?

What is the trailer about? The first trailer for Bless Unleashed showcases impressive visuals, showing how the game will look using the Unreal 4 Engine. Additionally, story teasers are presented. It seems to be about a battle against gods, whom you are supposed to “make them pray”.
